LUX ET VERITAS “The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all those who investigate, is what we mean by the truth, and the ob­ ject represented in this opinion is the real.” “The truth V' soliloquized Mr. Smith as he lay on the meadowlawn. “The truth ! That is what I have always sought At the words he raised his pipe up high, and for a moment his eyes pierced the blue heaven. Then he lowered his pipe again, and the flash in his eyes vanished. He stretched himself and sighed. In the apple blossoms to his right a robin trilled a greeting of dawn to her fiery sweetheart advancing from the horizon; from the west Zephyrus wafted along to make his daffodils dance for him. Slowly the smoke of the pipe floated up into the blue. “Truth! , that’s it. I am a freethinker. I am always guided by truth. The great thinkers have ever sought the truth; and because I listen to them I am happy.” Mr. Smith sank more deeply into the turf and gazed into the puffs. Suddenly a figure appeared in them. Mr. Smith stared ancl recognized St. Thomas Aquinas. The great man was talking: “Man is not perfectly happy as long as there remains anything for him to desire and seek.” With these words he disappeared with the smoke. Mr. Smith frowned. “Anything for him to desire and seek; well, I certainly desire much

t yet.” The thought made him somewhat uncomfortable. “Oh well, I am happy enough at that.” His head sank into the grass again. Far to the south a dark curtain began to cover the blue. Another figure rose out of the pipe. It was Plato. Pointing a finger at the meditator, he said, “A nation cannot be strong unless it believes in God; upon this the philosopher evaporated. “‘八 nation cannot be strong unless it believes in God，.” Absolutely, I, too, am convinced that there is an almighty, omniscient Power rul­ ing the universe, although I can’t exactly define”.—Bergson smiled out of the smoke and said, “God is finite, not omnipotent, limited by matter, and overcoming its inertia painfully, step by step; and not omniscient, but groping gradually towards knowledge ancl consciousness, and * more light’.’’ Then he, too, disappeared.—"not omnipotent!—groping towards knowledge!”一a sharp pain pierced Mr. Smith’s head. The robin stopped singing and flew away in sorrow, for her black enemies were attacking her lover. “Perhaps” —two eyebrows drew together一“perhap:s God is not omnipotent, How do we know ? But there is a God even though lie may be limited by matter— —’ Out of the smoke a laugh cut short the contemplator's thoughts: “Limited by matter? Ha! Ha! All reality is one in substance, one in cause, one in origin; and God and this reality are one: With another laugh Spinoza shrivelled up into the air. “GckI ancl tliis reality are one,”一the idea struggled with Bergson’s words. The truth-disciple’s fingers began to tremble. In the distance rumbled thunder. “Well, aybe there is something to both ideas; in a way they don’t contradict each一” A concentrated smile of sarcasm from a long-nosed face seared the meditator's words, as Voltaire snapped, “It is truly extravagant to define God!” The lightning stroke cut the light-worshipper’s mind in two; his body began to shiver, his eyes shut against the sneering face now curling into the air. The whole skyi had become dark, thunder rolled over the ze­ nith, Zephyrus fled, and his daffodils shivered in the gusts of their enemy. Mr. Smith gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists. “There is a God!—is none!―can be defined!—can’t!” But soon the mental tumult greatly subsided; then the body, too, grew calm again. Only his head still pained him. He continued to watch the smoke that was now being whisked away. Suddenly an ugly face of wisdom appeared' in it and said, *'We 巧lust obey the laws of the state.” Mr. Smith smiled in satisfaction. “Yes, Socrates, I agree with you; I always live up to the decrees of the government.” Now another face appeared beside the first, and the worshiper of light heard: ‘‘We know, not by reasoning, but by vivid and immediate feelings that we must avoid behavior which, if 2

J

adopted by all men, would render social life impossible.” Socrates looked at Kant; the two smiled and shook hands. But then the for­ mer felt doubtful of the German’s words and began to argue. The latter immediately unloosed his weapons. Mr. Smith looked puz­ zled. A thump of doubt began to annoy the rear of his head. But before the truth-preachers could continue their dispute, a third figure arose from the pipe, swallowed up the first two, and said, ^'Conscience should never — we must obey!—be guided !M Fierce enemies were spilling blood in the brain. A crow cawed past; the dafToclils were being shaken by the storm wind; on the black canopy overhead slashed giant jagged swords. A new figure rises majestically troni the pipe—Wordsworth points a finger of pride at the apple blossoms, breathes deeply, and proclaims, “JMeased to find in thee and in the language of the sense the anchor of my purest thoughts, the nurse, the guide, the In thee’’ guardian of my heart, and soul of all my moral being! —tortured eyes look at the blossoms—mockery!—fire is consuming the brain—"guardian of my heartn—The storm-wind howls in glee at the piteous dadodils. Beside W'ordsworth rises Nietzsche, sneers at the poet and shouts, "Greed, envy, even hatred, are indispensable items in the process of struggle—-if evil were not good it would have clisa pcared!”.—the poet's eyes blaze—“Friend! Devil! a curse on you! The German spits in derision. "If evil were not good”一daggers jab tlie believer’s brain—..Purest thoughts !M—his teeth grind! flashes before his eyes! "l'hc heavenly swords are slashing the canopy to pieces, the apple blossoms have been torn away by their enemy. The other men of truth return to join the battle,—Socrates grasps Nietzsche by the throat, Wordsworth casts imploring eyes at the daffodils;—a raven croaks in applause at the scornful howling of the storm-wind. The truth-disciples chest is groaning! Kant is in a death-grapple with Voltaire, Spinoza plunges to res­ cue the latter;—the white sword of Zeus zigzags across the entire sky, the storm-wincl roots out a tree, Pluto's forces are growling below. The devotee writhes! It is extravagant to define!— reality iis one in!—the anchor of my purest!—avoid behavior!” His brain cells are being ripped apart!—the thinkers rend each other in fury!—a crack'sin the earth!out rush shapeless forms upon the men of truth, and across the heavens the name of Chaos burns out the soul of Mr. Smith: “At length a universal hubbub wilde Of stunning sounds and voices all confus’d Born though the hollow dark assaults his eare With loudest vehemence!” E. K., ’33. 3

STRANGE INTERMENT In a dingy room filled to overflowing with furniture and junk in sweetest disarray a wizened old man slouched on his shoulderblades far clown between the arms of an enormous lazy-back. A few silvery strands of hair still braved the barren wastes above his ears but by far the greater part of them bad given way to a flowing white beard whose lower extremities lay entangled in the links of a ponderous watch-chain. There was one tobaccostained opening in the billowing mass through which, on rare occasions, three misshapen teeth were discernible. Just beyond the old man’s outstretched feet a dilapidated coalstove balanced awkwardly on three legs. The door of the stove hung by one hinge, and through the broken isinglass windows one could distinguish something which resembled a fire only in that it gave off smoke. The only light in the room struggled through a window covered with dust and spider webs. The gloominess of the room, however, could not nearly com pare with the heaviness in old Emil Pfaff’s mind. Emil had reached the age of reminiscences and it was these that made liim so (lisgusted. It was not that feeling that a reformed criminal has when he looks back on his former misdeeds nor that of a convert think­ ing of his former sins, it was exactly the opposite. Emil was unhappy because of what he had not done. In his youth he had always been “little Emil Pfutr* or just “Emilchen” and in those days he had not minded it. As lie grew older his companions treated him as an inferior. He was allowed to play left field on the baseball team for the reason that he possess­ ed the only “real” league ball in the neighborhood. Wlieu football was played he was made to believe that the office of referee was more important than playing on a team. It must have been some­ where around his twelfth year that he first felt resentment at having to do everything he was told to do; but he never once revolted. He was a “good little boy.” He had had absolutely no excuse for be­ ing on the scene. In the years following, Emil had not changed much, not even in stature. The only thing that had grown at all was the tiny bud of resentment. He stuck close to convention, however, not because he chose but because the opposition in him was not yet strong enough to make him do anything radical. Then at his office the boss had been an enormous hulk of humanity and even the office-boy had had a six-inch gap between his vest and trousers.. When convention led to matrimony, Emil followed and it was 4

I inevitable that he should find himself bound to the largest woman in the county. Of course, Kathrina had been a wonderful woman, there was no discounting that, but still she could have been a bit smaller. Years of peaceful conformity to rule followed, at least, to all appearances. Emil alone knew how great the desire had been to do something rash. Then came the time wlien his wife took sick and died. That had been a hard blow, but the rules he had had to conform to before Kathrina was finally laid safely away in her vault had almost caused an eruption. Emil retired from his position at the office before anything serious could happen and, when the bud of opposition finally burst, Emil was confined to his room with rheumatism, where, of course, he was perfectly harmless. So he was this clay reaping unwonted sasisfaction from his neglected and disorderly room. Emil knew that he could not expect to live much longer and it made him angry to think that he had never once done anything otherwise than it should have been done. He could not credit him­ self with a single tiling tlint might have made the world more safe for democracy. Oh—how much satisfaction it would give him if at any time lie h：id told an insurance agent to jump into the lake. He sighed longingly at the thought and sank lower in his chair with a resigned droop to his pipe. Emil began to think of his approaching death and of the rules he would have to conform to before he would be six feet below it all. He was willing to bet that it would mean at least seven per­ mits. He picked up a copy of the "Taeglicher BetruegerM and began to read the scandal sheet, his favorite page. The first thing that caught his eye was an account of a man who had been found buried in a dog cemetery. ..What a wonderful place to be buried,” thought Emil. He reread the account and dwelt especially long on the part which said that no permit was required for burial in the dog cemetery. And immediately Emil worked out a plan. Emil’s only friend was Hans Wurst,' the only person Emil had been able to “lick” in his youth. It was to this man that Emil confided his plan, and Hans, who had never said no, agreed matter of course. Within a week Emil died. His death was a happy one. He passed away with the feeling that all was well; that there would be something in his history which would not be as everyone might expect it to be; there would, at least, be something to prove him a higher animal. Four days later Mr. Wurst appeared before the canine mternary with four boxes lying in the wagon behind him. The at­ tendant took the boxes and buried them without question, little 5

knowing that they each contained one of the most contented quar­ ters of humanity that ever put over a fast one. A. W. B., ’34.

THE BELL RINGS At half-past twelve the bell rang. It was a large bell. It hung in a small house which stood on a knoll. You could hear that° bell a long way off, probably over the entire two thousand acres that comprised the Mt. Vernon estate. When that bell rang, hundreds of negroes, who knew Washington, the disciplinarian, not the idol, sprang to their many feet and departed to the tobacco fields, there to labor until the torturing sun finally disappeared l)ehind the hills. Then came the bell; the day was done. In their cabins they sat and ate their “Johnny” bread and peas and from their distant homes they could see the lights and hear l lie voices ' of famous men and women of the (lay enjoying the evening meal with the then foremost man in the States. They knew the routine. After the meal Washington and his guests would retire to the veranda overlooking the Potomac, there to sit and enjoy tobacco which they, the darkies, had planted, harvested, and dried until it was just right for consumption. They knew, those darkies did, that if the guests did not leave early, Washington might he cross in the morning; he might quarrel with Martha across the breakfast table. Then all good humor would be gone. He would mount one of his horses, charge out into the fields, and woe to the durkie who did not see him coming and had for a moment taken a rest. Then would the riding whip be applied, and that not gently. Al­ ways it was that way, but had the master not done it there would have been something wrong. They knew he was fair, although temper sometimes did gain the upper hand over better judgment. Yet they loved him for it. He could not be different. But alas, it was getting late and at day-break the bell would ring again, sum­ moning them to another day of toil under a withering sun. The bell still rings, but it has a diilerent meaning now. In the afternoon when it rings it means that visitors who have come to view the estate and pay tribute to Washington must leave the premises. The bell used to mean the beginning of toil, now it means the end of pleasure, for indeed it is a pleasure to visit Mt. Vernon. Just the sight of white and green, which greets one’s eyes when approaching the national shrine, is sufficient to make the trip worth while. But more wonderful yet is the inside of the main building arrayed in its imposing antiques. A rug given by Louis XVI to Washington, a gift from LaFayette, and hundreds 6

I of other things interesting to any Americans, fill the rooms of the colonial palace of Washington. In one of the out-buildings is an impressive collection of things intimate to Washington. The great general’s silk stockings, the tools which his dentist used, a copy of his inaugural address corrected by his own hand, artificial flowers made by his wife, are among the innumerable articles which col­ lectors have valued at many thousands of dollars. The bell rings, negro slaves hurry past, one leads Washing­ ton's horse, another carries a note from Martha, all is life, and then, the bell st ops ringing, visitors move by, an automobile horn blows and we arei back in the twentieth century—but the bell still rings. Fischer, ’31.

THE CHARM In those good old days when a man was still considered welldressed if lie wore a suit of 'iron and gloves of steel, Jaceline Bonnes was born in the Kingdom of Ouclamos. The father of this boy was a member of the merchant class of the city Oudimia, the capital ol" this kingdom. This merchant was in great favor with the all­ powerful ruler of this and some neighboring kingdoms. It so happened that Jaceline Bonnes received more attention at his birth than most children of his rank ever receive. Long, long ago a fairy had been helped out of some distress by this merchant. As a reward she had given him a small ring, which would be a charm if given to the merchant's first-born soil. At the age of seven, so the fairy said, the young lad should make three wishes on this charm, and he would obtain his wishes. Thus it is evident why the child's birth attracted much attention, for even in those (lays not everyone was born under a charm. The King also showed his interest in Jaceline. When the boy was only five years old, he was taken to the royal court and trained in royal manner. The nobles, including the King, wished to make a good impression on the boy, so that they might be remembered in the three wishes. When J aceline’s seventh birthday came round, the King ordered a big festival to be given. In fact, the whole kingdom ceased its labors for the day to attend this celebration, so that the castle court was thronged with the King’s subjects. In the midst of the ceremonies Jaceline was to make his three wishes on the charm. The merchant had well instructed his son as to what he should wish for. Therefore the boy wished for Wealth, Honor, and Friends. The King and his nobles praised the wise • choice made by Jaceline, but best of all they liked his first wish. 7

Thereupon the subjects returned to their work, while Jaceline rcturned to the royal court. After another two years the youth was sent to the court of the Kings ally, where he was to serve as page for several years. Here he spent a very miserable life, since his lord was a hard taskmaker,' while Jaceline was a mere child. “Surely,” he often thought, 4<the three wishes are long in being fulfilled.” But still lie kept on hoping and hoping. Indeed, it was this thought alone which sustained him in his wretchedness. And yet a fate still more cruel lay before him. One summer day in Jacelines twelfth year, two messengers rode into his lord’s court to announce that a powerful baron would de­ clare war against him, if he would not yield peaceably. But his lord was too proud and also overrated his own strength. So he was greatly surprised to see his fortress demolished and his stalwart men overthrown and slain by the opposing force. But he was more dismayed that he, together with his page, were in the hands of his enemies. So Jaceline's condition was going from bad to worse. In the service of the new master he was no longer a page, but a stable-boy, which was the lowest task the baron could find for him. He lost all means of intercourse with his father, and the King who ruled over his native land had already forgotten the three wishes on the charm and had no more interest in this youth. As the boy grew older the baron {ound a harder and more un])leasant task for Jaceline, namely that of oarsman in a galley, The hopes of ever becoming wealthy and honored, or of ever having true friends were already so diminished by adversity, that now only a faint glimmer of hope was left. So things continued till at the age of eighteen, Jaceline was already an old man. But one day the baron’s galley was transport­ ing a shipment of gold from a plundered ship to the baron’s realm. A storm suddenly arose, and the galley was ready to sink into the sea.. Now indeed the last gleam of hope would have been extin­ guished in the cool waters, had not Neptune calmed the sea in time to save the lives of Jaceline and two fellow-slaves. Clinging to a chest, which contained some of the treasure, they were washed to the shore of a barren island. Here they lived for one week, but . weakened by the exposure and the lack of wholesome food, they became sick and soon died. .?l!cne^,°r<r Ja<：e^ne died he was forced to admit that the charm -1. lumlled his wishes, for he had been honored and respected by ms wo friends and for several days he had the treasure, which had once belonged to the baron.

NOVA RES Another page lias l)ccn turned in the history of the Black and Red. We arc al)out to begin Volume XXXV. We, the new siaff, find that suddenly a great deal of responsibility has been thrust upon us and hesitatingly and with certain doubts concerning our ability we put our hand to this our first number. But we know what our task is and we shall set our aims high, and if we fail to realize them it will not be because we have not tried. Volume XXXIV is finished, but for us, the new staff, it is not a closed book. In it and the proceeding volumes we see our aims; from them we can learn much. Wc must set these volumes as our guide and try to equal their splendid achievement. This means that we must work together. We must ask ourselves what the purpose is of the work we are doing; what will be our policy. We must plan, discard and plan again. We must be original, new, interest­ ing. In short, our task is to preserve the Black and Red as the true representation of the activities and thoughts at Northwestern. But of ourselves we are helpless. We need the co-operation of every student and alumnus of our college. This is your publica­ tion and without your help we cannot make it truly representative of you. Our readers can do much to forward our work. All criti9

\

cisms and suggestions will be accepted joyfully and if possible, utilized. They will show us our mistakes and urge us to correct them. At the same time if a little favorable comment or praise should fall our way we would feel that our efforts have not been in vain; that we have succeeded at least partly in our task. This is our message to our fellow students, our alumni and our readers. Summed up it can be expressed in the words of our twenty-eighth president: God helping us, we will not fail them, if they will but counsel and sustain us. —K.

多Fmitmrg Nflto Die Osterferien liaben wir wiecler gluecklich ueberstanden. Wir warcn allc wieder puenktlich zur Stellc nach den Fericn ausser Herrn Mackdanz. Es geht das Geruccht, class cr wegen der Wahl noch einen Tag lacngcr in Watertown bleiben musste, wie ein gutcr Buer­ ger das ja tut. Wir freuten uns aber doch darueber, class dieses jahr niemand auf dem Rucckwcge von den Ferien im Schnee Sleeken bliel). Sonstjahrs war doch immer einer oder der andere irgcndwo eingcsclineit, wen n die Zcit kam, class man wieder zur Schulc musste. I3iescs Jahr batten wir unseren Osterschnee am An fang der Fericn, und das war auch cin Schncesturm! Die Bruedcr Pauslian uii(l Herr Sauer warcn gut unterwe^s nach Hausc. Sie kamcn aber liiclit weit. (lain sclion in Lowell, Wisconsin, verclrehte ilmcn cine Scbnccwehc das Stcucrappiirat ihrer Ford. Sie liessen einfach ihren Wagcn da in der Stadt stehen und reisten mit deni nach Mause. nacclisten Mit den Osterferien kam wieder ein laengcrer Abschnitt unseres Schulj.uhrcs zuni Abschluss. Nun nehmen wir noch cinen letzten Anlauf fucr dieses Jahr. Es mussten fucr diesen letzten Termin aber noch ncuc Beamtcn gcwachlt wrden. Die Wahl ergab folgcndcs Result at: 1 lerr Vo^el wurde Pracses, Herr Sabrowsky Vice-pracscs, Herr Lawrcnz Sekretacr. ' Vor cinigen Woclien besuchte uns llcrr Pastor llartwig von Hartland, Wisconsin. Herr Pastor Hart wig vcrstcht sich auf die Kunstgaertncrei und hat sich neulich cl ran gcmacht, cinen Plan auszuarbeiten, nach dem man liicr cinen Park um das Gebaeude anlegen koennte. Diesen Plan legte uns Herr Pastor Hartwig vor und gal) uns allerlei Anweisungcn, wie dieser Plan etwa nach und nach ausgefuehrt werden koennte. Jemand unter uns hat dann sogleich seine Arithmctik zu 1-Iilfe gezogen und Hugs ausgerechnet, class pflanzen haette. nach dem Plane jeder Student zehn Baeume Eine Anzahl von uns haben sich auch sclion dran gemacht und haben verschiedene Loecher gegraben. Wir werden nun wahrscheinlich bald unseren Baunipllanzungstag feiern. Es wird auch hohe Zeit, class das geschieht; denn Schnee gibt's sicherlich keinen niehr. Aber 'varum sind wir dessen so gewiss ? Ganz einfach, der letzte und sicherste Beweis fuer das Dasein des fruehlings ist unter uns bereits hin und wiecler zu finclen,—^es ist das elende Spring Fever.” Hoffentlich ist das nicht ansteckend. Nach laengerem lleissigen Ueben ist nun unser Seminarchor fuer sein "erstes Konzert fertig. Er wird in der naechsten Zeit z'vei Konzerte Liefern, am 19. April in der Gnadenkirche uni am 26. 11

in der Bethesdakirche in Milwaukee. Der Gesangvercin wurde erst dieses Jahr gegruendet, und dies sind seine ersten Konzerte. Lehrer S. Bergemann von West Allis leitet den Chor. Lehrer G. Glaeser wird bei diesen Konzerten einige Orgelnummern vortragen. Kurz vor Ostern war Herr Baumann auf einige Tage bci uns. Er musste seine. Ford holen, die er Weinachten hiergelassen hatte. Er berichtete, dass er wahrscheinlich naechsten Herbst wiecler bei uns eintreten wuerde, um seine Studien zu vollenden. Auch besuchten uns neulich' Herr Philipp Sauer und Herr Oskar Hanimcn von der Staatsuniversitaet. Beide hatten interessantes Neucs zu erzaehlen. Das schoene Wetter bringt auch vvieder mchr Autos auf unseren Hof. In den Wintermonaten warcn es nur einige, (lie sich trotz aller Kaelte auf unserem Huegcl aufhiclten. Hcrrn Plcssens Ford hat den ganzen Winter alleine hinterm Gebacudc gcstaiulen— sie sieht auch danach aus. Ob sie jemals wiecler auf die Bcinc kommt, ist zweifelhaft. Seit clem warmen Wetter haben sich diese Autos aber so stark vermchrt, dass wir jetzt wiedcr vicrzelin Stucck zaehlen. Es wurde uns heimlich die Nachricht zugcllucstcrt, dass unscr Herr Redlin sich der Gesellschaft angcschlossen hat, die fast jeden Freitag oder Sonnabencl nach Watertown muss. Wariini，wagen wir nicht zu erraten. Herr Kuehl arbeitet in der neuen Thicnsviller Bank. Man sagt uns, er sei “Draft Clerk” und habe daher fuel* frischc Luft 7.W sorgen. Wenn Bruder Kuehl sich nun gelegentlich im Prahlcn ueber seine neue Stelle verliert, muss ihm das nicmaiul ue1)cl nchmen. Man braucht ihn dann nur zu fragen, was er fucr Ar1)cit tuc in der Bank, dann wird er allmaehlich ruhiger werdeu und vom Wetter anfangen.

St. Patrick’s day being but three days off, an all-Irish program arranged by Miss Bentzin was presented 1)y the Philomathean Literary Society on March 14 ; the critic for the evening was Professor Schumann. The opening number was that good old Irish song, “It，s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary,” sung by the college quar­ tette :Messrs. Sche've，Hein, Engel, and Buenger. As encore they sang “My Wild Irish Rose.” Next, Miss Wendland showed marked abilities when she gave the interesting reading, “Larry O’Dee.” This was followed by another musical number; “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” and '"Mother Machree” were sung by Mr. A. Schewe; the applause given him speaks well of the rendition. Now that the audience had been given an Irish atmosphere, Mr. Engel gave us a rather detailed history of St. Patrick, pointing out that much of the story is mythical. Finally an “Irisii” orchestra of GermanAmericans dressed in green played two funeral preludes to John Synge's one-act tragedy, “Riders to the Sea，’’ which was so well 15

played that a number of the audience was moved to tears. Espec­ ially is this success noteworthy, since there was not a great deal of action required, thus making it all the more difficult to "put across.” Whereas, Prof. Kiessling had been doing all the coaching for the plays heretofore, for this play Miss Bentzin relieved him of this job and shouldered it herself—a fact worth noting and an example that might be followed with profitable experience. One week later, on Saturday, March 21, the Phi Gamma Rho presented its final program of the season, Mr. Naumann was master of ceremonies; Prof. Sitz, critic. Of the two songs by the mixed chorus, “Mein Maedel hat einen Rosenmund” and “Swing Along，’’ the latter caught the ear of the audience. Mr. Schwerin displayed ease in delivery in his talk on ^The Passion Play of Oberammergau. In the almost faultless recital of the poem, “The Congo/' written by Vachel Lindsay, Mr. F. Weyland scored a huge success; he held the attention of everyone from beginning to end. The final number was a one-act play by Hall and Middleton, “The Valiant.” A convict sentenced to be hanged will not identify himself, not even to his sister. The acting by; Mr. Krueger, who played the role of the convict, was easily outstanding. The program of the annual Mid-Season Concert presented by our musical organizations, March 24，included the following- numhers: ....Andrew Hermann 1.

The gymnasium was quite well filled in spite of threatening skies. The final program of the Philumathcan Society was given Thursday evening, March 26, with Mr. Victor Schultz as master of ceremonies and Prof. Kicssling1 as critic. In an original speech on “Spring” Mr. Moepner brought out some of his humor, which was enjoyed immensely by the audience. Music by four violinists was something dilTcrcnl for our literary society program; Messrs C. Trapp, L. Schlicsscr, G. Barthels, and I). Hallemcyer played Mozart’s **Avc Verum.” In his original talk on "Forest Preservation” Mr. A. Bollc brought out a number of good jokes which helped make it a greater success. At the piano Mr. G. Peters did very well in his rendition of the *'Noctumc in F sharp Major” l)y Chopin. The onc-act play which was presented was written and directed by Prof. Kicssling: "Mixed Quartette." This light and humorous playlet was presented well l)y the Misses Hallet, Grace Meyers, and Rasmussen and the Messrs. Buengcr and Schwcnzcn. On the second day after the Easter recess, on April 8, the col­ lege “celebrated” arbor day. The most favorable weather imagin­ able made the whole day pleasant for working. The entire grounds were raked, the trees were trimmed, and the leaves and brush were hauled away. And no w we again have a clean campus and a respcctable setting for our buildings. Watch For The Date THE NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE DRAMATIC SOCIETIES will present Bernard Shaw's “PYGMALION” sometime near the end of May. The play is under the direction of Professor Kiesslins^. Remember THE TAMING OF THE SHREW and THE SWAN. 17

EiAtS With this number the Black and Red sets out on its 1931-32 journey. Before we start, the new Exchange Editor has two re­ quests to make of the readers : first, that they read also the Ex­ change column; and secondly, that they occasionally look at other papers. “Exchange”一what does it mean ? You would answer something like this: “It’s a rather unimportant column that you can just as well pass over; once in a while it has an interesting clipping or suggestion, but you can get along entirely without it." But should not our answer be this : “It is a column important for the Black and Red, for at times it contains suggestions that \vc should think about for the improvement of our paper; and also excerpts of articles that are of benefit to us in general”？ The Augustana Observer, a rather complete weekly, has two columns which we ou ght to consider for the “Black and Red.” One is “The Curious Club,” in which the opinions of several students on general topics are expressed. Now, whether our opinions are worth anything or not, is it not good for us to express them in our paper ? May it not lead to a stimulation of greater interest in interesting things, as well as re-consideration of some of our opin­ ions \vhich we held' sacrosanct? The other is “Student Opinion”； this differs from the first in that it is an article by one student. The negro paper, the Tuskegee Messenger, should be read by u.s in order that we may become better acquainted with the condi­ tions of our colored fellow-Americans. 18

4 The Calvin Chimes of March 20, has a piercing editorial entitled “Extra-curricular Activities.” The writer begins with, ^Col­ lege students are notoriously critical; customs, words, beliefs are met with the same sardonic spirit.” Later on he says, "College activities bring mellowness, temperateness, and a gentleness of judgment, things surely worth acquiring. Furthermore, they cause one to scrutinize his aspirations a bit more closely, to see how ludicrously exorbitant some of them were, and it inevitably brings upon us a saving limitation, a humility, a re-evaluation of actually tenable hopes, and a feeling of sureness and reliability in our trust of the ideals we do retain.”一But the whole article should be read. We recommend tlie Old Gold and Black, of Wake Forest Col­ lege, especially its Library Column: also the Spectator, the Student Life, and the Carthage Collegian.

細慮Tits CLASS BASKETBALL The curtain has drawn on another annual inter-class basketball tournament. We feel certain* that this one has been more success­ ful than many previous ones. The mere fact that the championship of both departments was not determined until the last games were played seems to strengthen our statement. Each team exhibited enough power to offer good opposition. Another factor which contributed to the success of the tourna­ ment was the increase of interest shown throughout the progress of the race. The members of the classes appeared regularly to sup­ port their team. 19

The Seniors again won the championship of the collegiate de­ partment. A two-point defeat, inflicted by the Freshmen, deprived them of a perfect record. The Sophomores proved most capable of putting up a bitter fight for the title. They were always play­ ing a steady game, but lacked reserve strength. The Freshmen laid claim to third place with three victories and six defeats. Al­ though they began slowly, they soon acquired more team play, and finished the season in a promising manner. The Juniors, playing against great odds, were unable to break through with more than one victory. Standings of the teams are as follows: T. P. O. P. W L. 125 .8 206 Seniors — — 144 3 179 .6 Sophomores 199 162 .3 6 Freshmen .. 8 204 125 Juniors __ In the preparatory department the Tertiancrs gained possession of first place by a brilliant 11-9 victory over the Quarlancrs. The scoring power of the Quartancrs kept them in the race, and they took second place. The loss of Halverson was a heavy blow to the defensive power of the team. Quinta's three victories over Sexta enabled them to take possession of third place. Although unable to win a single game^ the Sextancrs showed up well for an inexperienced team. Standings of the teams are as follows: W 8

BASEBALL It is again the season in which baseball eclipses all other ath­ letic activities. Arbor Day made it possible to recondition our play­ ing field, thus granting our athletes the benefit of regular practice periods. Although the final steps have not yet been made, it seems evident that our Northwestern team will ajrain ioin the Industrial Leagii e of Watertown. T he possibilities of a successful season are in the hands of our able generalissimo, Coach Kleinke, and Captain Raasch. Whether or not the new material will be ready for action remains to 1)e seen. A good number of veterans are on hand in Captain Raasch, Buenger，Nommensen, Biesmann, Buch, E. Schewe, Kaye, and Schroe20

(ler. To Biesmann will probably be assigned the catching duties, with Raasch doing the hurling, Raasch handled most of the mound work last season, and gave a brilliant account of himself. It is difficult to predict at this time what chances our aggregation might have, but all indications point to a favorable season. ACTIVITIES The warm weather again brings happy faces to their favor­ ite sport. We see our golf enthusiasts walking briskly across the campus for another solid whack at the ball. Tennis is regaining its popularity at Northwestern, since the new concrete court was completed. One court, however, can hardly meet the demands of the many who wish to participate in this kind of sport. A squad of football aspirants, under the direction of Captainelect liuenger, is regularly seen on thc campus. Mr. Buenger is working hard in an attempt to uncover and develop material for the coming season. And then there's kitten ball. The Juniors are taking this game rather seriously lately, and are beginning to talk of forming a league. To date they have played four games, winning two and losing two. On Arbor J)ay the Seniors defeated them 5-4. A few days later they were victorious over the Freshmen 5-4. Haefner featured the attack with a home run, which also scored a man from second base. Quarta was next to suffer defeat, losing a one-sided game 18-7. Martin and Buenger were instrumental in the 7-2 vic­ tory of the Sophomores over the Juniors.

stu

dents were forced to forfeit one or two days of vacation on account of blocked roads. But the snow was beneficial at least insofar as it furnished a pastime for those staying here during vacation. Of the fifteen or so that stayed here, “Slim” Baumann and Vic Schultz amused themselves most, as might be expected. Froehlich must have had his hands full indeed, for he had been chosen general in­ spector and was to maintain at least some semblance of order. Radloff gave little trouble, for most of his time was occupied taking sun baths. According to reports, the meals during vacation must have been very good. A number of students managed to return late after vacation, among whom were Werner, Anton, Fuge, Grant, and Paul Moltmann, and Kluess, who is still absent. The excuses varied consid­ erably ;e. g. Anton was still under quarantine for scarlet fever, and Fuge had not yet recovered entirely from an operation for appen­ dicitis. The mumps are still holding their own. Buch and Dobratz were in the sickroom during the greater part of March, but managed to get out in time for vacation. They experienced in full the truth of the German saying, "Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leicl.” Rest­ ing fell victim to the mumps (luring vacation and his room-mate, Happy Hotlen, followed him immediately after school started again. Oh yes, we had Arbor Day, on April 8; the preps and the park will testify as to that. The bare, hollow space beneath the trees in the front park was filled in and seeded; if the grass grows, we may have a green lawn some day, instead of those unsightly bare spots. Some over-zealous Sophomores began chopping* vigorously at an offensive tree. Thanks to the timely intervention of their prexy, ‘‘Red’’ Biesmann, the tree was spared, but not until it was cut almost half through. They found out later that the tree was a rare and valuable specimen, and now they are holding thumbs that the cut may not prove fatal to the tree. Many of us may still be in doubt< as to how one of the wagons was so effectively transformed into a heap of wreckage. Well, Schliesser was driving at the time and—he’ll know more about it. The customary bathrobe parade and the tree-planting ceremony of the sophomores took place in the forenoon this year. Professor Schmeling acted as mas­ ter of ceremonies at the planting of the tree; two speeches were given, an English one by Mr. Hoepner and a Latin one by. Mr. Knoll. The ceremonies were impressive to say the least, and especially the speeches aroused wide-spread and favorable comment. Thus Arbor Day on the whole was similar to that of former years, but Avith one decided improvement. That was the new method of distributing the sandwiches, whereby each class had its own indi22

vidual basket, the scrambling and struggling of other years being thus avoided almost entirely. The improved aspect of the corner in back of the gym is due not only to the effort of the Sophomores, but also to a large extent to the willing aid of the four Seniors, Baumann, Dahlke, Naumann, and Trapp. Trapp broke the handle of his rake, but we were unable to find out whether he clid it by actual work or by leaning on it too heavily. Now that the park has been cleaned up, the tutors are deter.mined that it shall also remain in that condition. Therefore they have seen fit to appoint Andy Froehlich and Jack Dahlke as park inspectors and have vested in them the power to remove, or cause to be removed, any objectionable objects from the park. Accord­ ingly Sippert’s Ford has also departed. Fischer and Gieschcn spent part of their vacation in visiting Washington, 1). C. They didn't see the President, but they did see everything1 worth while about the capital. Volkniann started something when he landed that three pound­ er; now fishing is the thing among the Sextaners and Quintaners. One of the prospective fishermen has finally learned that you can't buy fishpoles in a drug store. With these boys the difficulty lies not so much in getting the fish out of the river as in keeping them once they have some. In one case the irate monitor threw a whole day’s catch (about one or two fish) out of the window. The fishing fad also accounts, at least indirectly, for the presence of the new aquarium in room 17; a good place to practice, you know. And speaking about water, Emil Doll tested it quite satisfac­ torily when he took his new canoe on its maiden voyage and upset it in an attempt to avoid a log. Jack Dahlke spent a week-end with the Geiger brothers at Randolph. They had a wonderful time, giving their car plenty of exercise. Most of us like to picture Buenger as captain of the football team, but can you imagine him walking the floor with a little human doll? Well, that's exactly what he did during vacation when his little nephew refused to sleep at 12.00 p. m. one night. By the way, Buenger is the drum major-elect for next year and we have good hopes that he’ll make a success of it. Mrs. Thormann, who served the students for seven and onehalf years as nurse, has resigned from that position. During her work among us she surely succeeded in gaining favor with the stu­ dents both because of her quiet, friendly personality and because of the conscientious and faithful discharging of her duty, and her en in her absence. memory will continue to live amon new inhabitant And last but not least wj

Easter vacation was a welcome interruption m our school life. It wrought many changes among the Co-eds. Dorothy Groth returned with a pair of spectacles adorning- her physiognomy. (That leaves only one survivor of the Tenia girls without glasses.) Ethel Kopp surprised us by coming back minus six inches of her locks. We are glad to report that Helene Naumann is back, after her operation, with all her enthusiasm and pep. Margaret Breitzman has also succumbed to the appendicitis epidemic and underwent an operation at St. Mary's Hospital. We hope she’ll be back soon. Gertrude Koelm’s dog, which had been without a name since Christmas, has finally been named Lute, Jr. The other day after riding with Miss Bentzin, we were agree­ ably surprised to find one infant's boot on the back seat. We’re still looking for “my son John,” who must be running around with one boot on. We hardly returned to our studies after the Easter recess, when arbor day was forced upon us. The Tertia girls showed iheir do­ mestic abilities by superintending the cleaning of the rooms. The Freshmen prepared the splendid lunch. After lunch the girls availed themselves of the opportunity of thoroughly inspecting the Dormitory. During the course of the day the usual pictures were taken. Gladys Hallet and Vivian Pearsall attended the Jefferson High School Prom, Friday, April 10. There was a bit of excitement in the Girls，Room on the day o,f the try-out for the Play, to be given by the two Literary Societies. 二 Lou Etta Shroeter, Gladys Hallet, Alice Bentzin, and Betty Faber have been chosen by the committee.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT Rising, rising, rising, stretching upwards toward the unattain­ able, melting away at its U)p into atmosphere, hugely beautiful, a mass of wcll-arrnngcd stone, that is the famous Washington monu­ ment. From a distance the obelisk is a needle of white, pricking the sky: close at hand it is a mountain, narrow, but graceful in its regularity. And day after day, year in and year out, people crowd and push one another to gain entrance. This has been going on since the people were first allowed admittance on October 9, 1888. The monument has a history, a history of fortune and mis­ fortune, of gifts and of thefts, a history almost as old as that of our country. In 1783 Congress authorized the erection of an eques­ trian statue of General Washington at the place where the seat of Congress should be established. L'Enfant, in 1791, provided a lo­ cation for such a statute in his plan of the City of Washington. After the death of Washington in December, 1799,,Congress passed a resolution to the effect that a marble statue of Washington should be erected in the City of Washington. Nothing was clone about this until 1833 when a body of influential citizens of Washington decided to erect a monument since Congress had made no progress in that direction. Accordingly the Washington National Monu­ ment Society was organized and Chief Justice John Marshall was chosen president. At his death in 1835, he was succeeded by ex­ president James Madison. In 1836 artists were asked to submit 28

designs for a monument to cost approximately one million dollars. Robert Mills, a well-known architect of the time, won the competi­ tion. The design provided for a circular colonnaded building 250 feet in diameter and 100 feet high, adorned with an equestrian group over the portal, from which rose an obelisk shaft 70 feet square at the base and 500 feet in height. The pantheonic feature of this design was never adopted. In 1848 Congress gave the Society permission to erect such a monument, and the President of the United States and the Board of Managers of the Society were delegated to select a suitable site. At the time of the selection, the site, which L'Enfant had desig­ nated as the place for the monument, was a marsh. The delegation, therefore, chose as the proper location, a knoll, a few hundred feet to the southeast. The corner-stone of the obelisk was laid on July 4, 1848, with fitting ceremonies. Contributions were being raised, and at this time they totalled about eighty-eight thousand dollars. The work progressed until 1854 when contributions stopped coming in because the people had been aroused by the theft of a stone which the Pope had sent over to be placed in the structure. As there was no money on hand, all construction ceased. In 1859 Congress attempted to do something about the matter by appoint­ ing an engineer of the army to supervise the work. He devoted his time chiefly to attempting to raise funds. He was relieved in 1860. In 1874 Congress again woke up and heard reports of engi­ neers on the structure, and in 1876 President Grant approved an act which provided that the government should take over and com­ plete the erection of the monument. The government engineers found that the foundation was not strong enough to hold the monu­ ment as it was to be built. The first work, then, that the United States attempted was the strengthening or underpinning of the foundation. In August, 1880, work was resumed on the shaft. The capstone was set on December 6, 1884, and marked the com­ pletion of the work. The monument was dedicated on February 21, 1885. As has been mentioned before, the size of the shaft is alto­ gether impressive. One side of the base of the shaft is fifty-five feet. Each square foot of soil under the obelisk supports nine tons of stone. There are eight hundred and ninety-eight steps leadingfive hundred and fifty-five feet up to the top of the monument. For sake of comparison—the monument is FIVE times as high as the water tower to the east of the campus. Fischer, ’31. 29

贤 mjlitxth ^:| MOSES ON PROHIBITION May was here in all its glory of flowers and sunshine. Jack Jones, commonly known as Moses among his fellow students, found studying inside very unpleasant in such warm weather. But, never­ theless, he had to study. A speech on “Prohibition” was assigned to him for May fourth, which was only two days hence. After Moses had written his speech and also made his outline more complete by adding the first sentence of each paragraph as a first aid in memorizing, he decided to go to Ham’s Hill and do his studying in the open air. Ham’s Hill was a wooded knoll about a quarter of a mile from Hamilton College. It was frequently visited by students, especially on their after-dinner and after-supper walks. A small, crooked path led through the trees and over the hill to a streamlet just beyond, known as Swan Creek. Moses found a comfortable spot under a tree near the crest of the hill. He sat down at the foot of the tree, leaned his back against its trunk and started reading his speech aloud. Before he was half through, he felt drowsy and decided to lie down on the soft, green grass under the tree and take a little nap. Consequently he put his speech under his head and went to sleep. Sleeping was one of Moses’ weaknesses. He had been sleeping for more than an hour before his friend and fellow student, Pat, found him and woke him up. The first thing Moses thought of when he awoke was his speech. He sat up and looked at the spot where his head had been resting, not realizing that he had rolled over several times during his nap. “Conic on, Pat, you can’t pull anything over on me like that! Give me my speech !n "Were you studying a speech, Moses?” ，"Yeh, I’m studying a speech! Hurry up ’n’ hand，er over! I’ve got to know that thing by Friday.” “I haven’t your speech, see!” answered Pat, noticing Moses’ very serious facial expression. “Let me search you?” asked Moses a bit calmed. “O. K.” “You didn't really take it, Pat ，or hide it on me while I was sleeping?” “Honest，Moses, I didn't do anything of the kind. It must be around here some place, unless the wind took it away. I’ll help you look for it.” .And so the two started their search. But the precious docu­ ment was nowhere in sight. In searching, the boys had wandered to the bottom of the hill and were now close to the shore of the creek. 30

Suddenly their attention was attracted by a little girl who came walking along the shore and crying over something which she car­ ried in her hand. The boys soon saw what the little girl’s destina­ tion was. For just a bit to their left sat a man under a tree whom apparently Somnus had also conquered while he was trying to read. The little girl awoke him with her sobbing as she came near. “Well, well, now Babbie, what can it be? Did something hap­ pen to your boat ? Now, now, sure! Your uncle will fix it for you; then you can go and sail it again.” This consoled the child and put a stop to her tears. “Oil, Uncle Tom, I am glad you can fix it again. It fell over in the water and now it don’t go any more. You can fix me a new sail, can't you Uncle?” “Sure; Uncle Tom will fix a new sail on Babbie’s boat, then she can go and let it sail again,” the man mused to the child which had almost forgotten its grief. “But,” the man continued, “I have no paper. Should Uncle tear up his new book to make Babbie a new sail? That wouldn't do at all, would it Babbie?” The child’s smile had vanished for just a moment. But then she remembered. ‘•‘Oh, Uncle! Maybe there is some more paper up there by the hill where we found this paper for my old sail! I’ll run up there and, look once.” **Pardon me, Professor Buckingham,M said Moses, who to­ gether with Pat had followed the little girl and had overheard her story unnoticed by either the professor of his little niece, Barbara. **Did you say you found some paper around by the hill over there?” “Why, yes; we found some there,'* the professor answered with a rather surprised look on his face. "Did you boys lose anything?” “Yes, sir,” answered Moses. “I guess likely you didn’t use this particular paper I’m looking for to make a sail with for the little girl, but Pat and I thought maybe it wouldn’t harm to ask whether you saw anything of it.” ‘‘Of course not, Jack. Er-a-what kind of manuscript did you lose?” asked the professor now gazing steadily at the wet and limp remains of the little girl’s sail. There was a word here and there that could still be read. “Oh, ’twasn’t much. It was only the manuscript of my speech that I was to recite for you on Friday.” For Professor Buckingham was Moses’ teacher 111 English, and had assigned the speech on “Prohibition” to him. “I’ll give you another week’s time on that speech, Jack•，’ And so it happened that Moses had nothing to say on Prohibition” on May fourth.

THE MILWAUKEE SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT Milwaukee’s food products are sold all over the United States. The people of the east and west coasts consider Milwaukee-made products delicacies. Cheese and sausage are the most well-known of these food-stuffs. Before 1918 Milwaukee was known as the beer center of the Middle West. Other industries also have sprung up very rapidly. Ice machines made in Milwaukee keep South America’s food supply fresh; leather tanned there treads the side­ walks of Shanghai, and air brakes manufactured by a Milwaukee concern bring street cars to a stop in Berlin. Milwaukee is also recognized as one of the commercial centers of the Northwest. More coal is unloaded from steamers in Milwaukee than in any other city on the Great Lakes. Grain also is received from, and sent to, all points of the Middle West. Of late years oil has been a very profitable import. Nor does Milwaukee lag when it comes to education. This city is the scat of Marquette University, a school which is bound to make great progress in the medical de­ partment. Also one of the Wisconsin Teachers' Colleges has its location there. The public high school system of the city is one of the best. There are, of course, several private schools, the most outstanding of these being the Milwaukee University School and Concordia College, a preparatory school for ministers. Milwaukee is not behind in the fine arts. Several art schools and galleries and various music institutions may be found within its limits. Kaun of Berlin and Mac Fay den are two of Milwaukee's musical geniuses. But today Milwaukee is known for something else, something which all lake or river cities will at some time or other have to build. It is now known for its great sewage disposal plant, a re­ sult of much costly experimentation. Of course, improvements are possible along this line, but Milwaukee will always be known in the field of sanitary engineering as one of the pioneers of the world and as the pioneer of the country. Let us now consider the reason why this sewage plant was built. The lake water had been contaminated by the discharge of all sewage into the rivers and other channels leading to the lake. Although the waterpumping stations which supplied the city were set out at a distance of five miles, the water which was drunk in the city was frequently, if not always, impure. This, of course, endangered the lives of the inhabitants because such water was very harmful. Furthermore, the fish which had been accustomed to swim in the sparkling waters of the various streams were choked to death by the terrible filth which the water contained. Even lake fisl| could not come anywhere near Milwaukee’s shore without suf­ fering the same fate as that of their river brothers. Naturally, complaints were continually coming in because of 32

the terrible condition of the water. The Health Department warned the people to boil the water before drinking it. The city govern­ ment decided to counteract the danger from the filth by chlorinat­ ing the water. Quantities of chlorine were dumped into the water. Of course, the germs in the water were destroyed, but too much chlorine is not healthful either. Furthermore, the use of chlorine did not remove the filth from the water, and aquatic life still suf­ fered. The next thing tried by the Sewerage Commission was to stop the factories from discharging their effluents into the lake or rivers, This reduced the filth to some degree, but the city sewage was still running into the lake. There was but one thing left to do, and that was not to throw any sewage into the rivers or lake. But if this was not done, what would the city of Milwaukee do with the sewage ? The Commis­ sion again began to function. The members cast their eyes about for a solution. They found it in Germany. There, sewage was purified, the pure water returned to the river, and the solid matter dried and burned. Milwaukee decided on such a plant, and in 1921 the project was started. Today the plant is operating very efficiently, although many difficulties hacl to be overcome. At first a terrible stench arose which annoyed certain sections of the city very much. It was thought necessary to shut clown the plant; but after the Sewerage Commission had consulted many engineers, the odor was conquered. Today one may say the Jones Island project is an un­ qualified success. It is rather difficult to get a correct idea of the plant unless one visits it. The plant, being on an island, or what is known as an island, is almost entirely surrounded by water. It is connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land to the south. Therefore, in order to get to it from the metropolitan district one must take a tug across the river. This tug plies back and forth regularly from the mainland to the island. It is operated at the expense of the sewage plant, and all visitors and workers at the plant are taken across the river free of charge. If a group makes a trip, a guide is supplied to lead the tour. This guide knows the plant from A to Z and is able to impart his knowledge. As the plant is still something new in this country, not many articles have been written about it. One may, however, obtain various pamphlets which give much helpful information to one who is interested. The sewage enters the plant by two channels. One channel is known as the low level channel, the other as the high level chan­ nel. The sewage in the low level channel must be pumped into the plant. This sewage is the discharge of the valleys and other low places of the city. The high level channel contains, for the most part, drain water. Very little solid matter is found in this 33

(tnlt sewage. It flows into the plant by gravity since it comes from only the high places of the city. The sewage is immediately run through the coarse screens. Most of the solid matter which is not good for fertilizer is here removed. This matter is dried out and later burned in the furnaces of the plant. There arc two screens for each channel, and while one is being cleaned the other is lowered into its place. Ninety million gallons of sewage pass through these screens each day. Now the sewage is rtin through a series of channels known as the settling tanks. This gives the grit in the sewage a chance to settle. The sewage continues on its way to the fine screen house. Here the remaining1 material is removed. There is one fine screen for each chamber. The fine screenings are blown from here over to the digestion house. Here the sludge is mixed with return sludge, and bacteria arc injected. These bacteria are helped to grow by the introduction of compressed air. As the sludge at this stage is moving very slowly, the injection of the compressed air keeps the thick matter from settling on the bottom of the tanks. This mixture now proceeds to the aeration tanks. There are twenty-four such tanks, each being four hundred and seventy-two feet long. Here the bacteria are given a further chance to grow. Each tank is capable of handUng' six million gallons of mixture per hour. Three thousand cubic feet of air are forced into each tank per minute. After going through the aeration tanks the sludge enters the clarifiers, where it is allowed to settle. The solid matter to the center of is then scraped by wliat is known as an agitator _ the tank where it is drawn away. The sludge is kept at a certain average of thickness to make it easier for filtering. This method of purifying the sewage is known as the activated sludge method. Now that the sludge has been removed, the water which re­ mains is run into the lake. It is clear enough to drink. Ninetyseven per cent of the solids and ninety-eight per cent of the bacteria have been removed. There are many problems which are yet to be overcome, but on the whole the plant runs with great efficiency. Of course, the Sewerage Commission is always experimenting as to how the sewage can be made still purer. It is expected that at some later date the water will be as pure as water ought to be, that is, for drinking purposes. . We left the sludge as it was being drawn away from the clari­ fiers. After it has passed through the acid house where condi­ tioners (acids) together with a fixed amount of copperas chlorinate have been added, it goes to the filters. Here it is dried considerably and slightly cleaned. From the filters it goes to the driers. Now we have no longer sludge, but a cake-like substance. After being thoroughly dried, this substance is run to the mixers. Here the cake 34

is broken up into small particles and the dust and coarser particles are ejected. These must be. refiltered. The remainder that comes from the mixers is the now world-famous fertilizer—Milorganite. This fertilizer is very much in demand and is sold as fast as it is made. The profits realized on the sale of the fertilizer are about eleven dollars per ton. This greatly reduces the cost of mainten­ ance; in fact, to quote figures, the cost of running the entire plant is about $925,000.00, while the profits realized from the sale of Milorganite amount to about $675,000.00. It is hoped that at some future time the plan will be entirely self-supporting. The construction of the Milwaukee plant marks a turning point in the disposal of sewage. Very many large cities, such as Chicago and Baltimore are now constructing, or have constructed, plants modeled after the Jones Island plant. Milwaukee’s “pride” has served, and is serving, as a model for all cities which are facing similar problems. It is but a matter of time when practically all cities which depend upon a lake or river for their water supply will build such plants. Civil engineers from all over the world have visited Milwaukee’s plant, and their verdict to a man has been that the project is but the beginning of a revolution in sewage dis­ posal. Fischer, 31.

OUR SQUARE That portion of our campus which among us is generally known as the square or the triangle is bounded on the north by the old dormitory, on the south by the recitation hall, on the west by the windows of the Vesuvius clubroom. Ten years ago this little plot might have ranked with any other part of the park in respect to general neatness of appearance. Today, though unchanged in its larger features, the square has become perhaps the most neg­ lected, abused, defaced part of the entire park. Immediately after warm weather sets in, the square replaces the smoking room as the smokers’ paradise, and forthwith the ground becomes strewn with cigarette stubs, matches, and toothpicks. Suitable receptacles for such refuse might improve conditions, but such containers are lack­ ing. The grass on the lawn gives' away to great bare spots under the feet of those who constantly stand or walk over the grass. Surely the square, in such a condition, does not speak very highly of us. Any visitor wishing to enter the dormitory usually does so by way of the square and one of the south doors. Now, if on his very arrival the visitor is greeted by an aspect so slovenly and disnial, what conclusions must he draw of our dormitory life and student life as a whole ? Assuredly conclusions that do not speak very highly of us. J 36

The square serves as a sort of indicator of our dormitory life, whereby outsiders can and do judge us as to the standard of cleanliness and orderliness that is being maintained among us as stu­ dents, collectively and individually. We should do our part in keeping the square in the same condition as the rest of the park. With a moderate exercise of consideration on the part of everyone, this should not be difficult. As to the preservation of the grass, that holds good for the entire park, not only for the square, Even the appointment of park inspectors has clone very little to keep those off the grass, who must walk across it more out of mere care­ lessness than for any other reason. No amount of coercion can accomplish this entirely; it must finally be left to the good sense of the individual. I).

OUR MOODS AND THEIR EFFECTS Nearly every day we hear such expressions as: “That old grouch,” “He’s feeling pretty good today,” “What’s ailin' you?” and many others of the same meaning which are incliuled in the student’s repertoire of slang and ungrammatical expressions. All of these cannot and may not be chronicled here. When we use such terms, it is our mood or frame of mind which is referred to. What then is a mood ? The first definition Webster offers is that it is a grammatical term; the second, that it is a state or temper of mind, especially as affected by emotion. Synonyms arc as follows: disposition, humor, vein, whim, caprice, freak. Obviously the first definition must be discarded. The most suitable synonyms are dis­ position and humor. Our definition, together with the synonyms, disposition and humor, has narrowed down to this: a state or tem­ per of mind, especially as affected by emotion. Especially as affected by emotion—that is the underlying cause . of moods. What are some of the causes for the emotions that cause moods ? Since a mood is so directly affiliated with an emotion, we can just as well ask, “Ho'v are moods brought about?” A good, substantial meal is inclined to put one into an indolent frame of mind. That is one of the chief reasons that card-games are mdulged in more after meals than before. A sleepless night is in a fair way to put us in as morose and intractable a frame of mind as we ever hope not to have the pleasure of experiencing. There are many agencies for bringing- about a good humor, which is the most popular of all. Since one of the strongest motives for action is the • desire for happiness, everyone indulges in this humorous vein as much as possible, although the effe.cts sometimes occasion more 37

suffering than the transient pleasure is worth. The most common stimulant for it is, of course, drink. A brisk walk in the bracing • winter air is conducive to a studious and contemplative mood, Poetry and music generally put one into the world of romance. Any reason at all may put us into a talkative or mischievous mood. The reading of “Buffalo 13ill” and “Jesse JamesM novels gives rise to many of the boy’s backyard games at playing war and Indians. In like manner we may enumerate countless other moods, all of which find their seat in the emotions. Since we have examined a few of the causes, let us look at some of the effects that these whims have upon us. A refractory and sullen disposition always makes for more harm than good. Friendships are dissolved in such moments only because we are irri­ tated at some trivial offense the friend may have given. Many gen­ erals have lost crucial battles and even kingdoms, because they at­ tempted some foolhardy tiling. Perhaps they were under the in­ fluence of liquor, which fired up their brain to a devil-may-care spirit. It is especially in a savage and revengeful state of mind that so mucli harm is clone. People arc literally outside of themselves. What they say or do is done without a thought of the consequences that might result from such an act or word. Heedlessly have human livcs been taken and terrible deeds of vengeance executed. The effect of a slothful disposition is soon recognized. Not only physically does the person decline, but also mentally. He actually becomes too lazy to think. Many such deplorable cases are on exhibition everywhere. This mood is one of the most injurious to students. Once it becomes a fixed character trait, the very difficult task of eradicating it must he faced. Better to keep out of that rut than to try to get out later. We have only a distant control over these emotions, but never­ theless it is a control. Many of these humors are the direct results of our very nature. They cannot be checked very readily. But those into which wc put ourselves by our thoughts can be stimalated or abstained from. It is left to us to choose those that are most beneficial to us and to attempt to avoid those that are detri­ mental and degenerating. T.，，34.

"Der Mai ist gekommen, die Baeumc schlagcn aus. Ja, auch bei uns hier auf dem Huegel faengt alles wieder an, aufs lieblichste zu gruenen. Die fuenfhundert Baeume, die wir in den letzten Wochen gepflanzt haben, fassen begierig Wurzel und sincl schon am Ausschlagen. Das kann noch gefaehrlich werden, wenn alle die Baeume auf einmal ausschlagen. Auch das Gras, (las man gesaet hat, guckt schon zwischen dem Uukraut aus der Erde hervor. O, unser Park wird schon noch werclen. Das schoene Wetter laesst auch den Baseballspielern unter uns keine Ruhe. Wir haben in den letzten Wochen uns schon mit mehreren teams gemessen; haben etliche Spiele gewonnen, sincl aber auch schon besiegt worden von unsern Gegnern. Auch haben wir einige Golfenthusiasten unter uns, die sich jetzt bei clem schoenen Wetter gelegentlich aufmachen, um ihre Kunst zu zci^cn. Ja, etliche sollen neulich sogar einen ganzen Nachmittag im Regen gespielt haben. Das muss ein Sporteifer sein! Es wurde hier in Thiensville vor einigen Wochen cine Mission angefangen. Das ging schnell vor sich. Eben als wir alle dachten, das Untemehmen muesste ohne Erfolg Hegen 1)leibcn, crhiclten wir die Nachricht, class am folgenden Sonntage der erste Gottesdienst stattfinden werde. Und richtig, am Sonntag, den 3. Mai, wurde in unserer Aula der erste Gottesdienst gehalten, in dem Herr Pastor Jeske aus Milwaukee die Predigt hielt. Sonntagschule ist nun auch schon eingerichtet worden. Vorlaeufig wird unsere Aula als Versammlungsort dienen. Als unser Chor sein letztes Konzert gab, passierte einem aus der Schar etwas recht Komisches. Die letzte Probe vor dem Kon­ zert war fuer jenen Sonntag Nachmittag angesagt, und selbstverstaendlich sollte diese Probe in der Bethesdakirche stattfinden, in welcher auch das Konzert am selben Abend zu geben war. Am Sonntag vorher hatten wir ja in der Gnadenkirche gesungen, und das konnte Herr Maaske, scheint es, nicht vergessen. Kurz und gut, um drei Uhr (puenktlich ist Maaske ja!) stellte sich Herr Maaske bei der Gnadenkirche ein und wunderte sich, class er der erste sei. Er wartet eine Zeitlang, und es kommt niemand, auch sind die Tueren alle fest zugeschlossen. Dann wird’s ihm cloch unheimlich, und er faengt an zu denken. Es clauert nun nicht lange, dann hat ers. Er besteigt flink seinen Wagen und fegt 'vie ein Windhund die Strassen entlang der Bethesdakirche zu und kommt schliesslich ein gute halbe Stunde spaet dort an. Natuerlich musste 39

ihn dann auch gleich jemand fragen, wo er sich so lange aufgehalten haette, und luege wollte Herr Maaske auch nicht. Unser “Baby,” Herr Thiele, war kuerzlich mit Herrn Sauer nach Madison. Man sagt, er habe dort einen schlimmen Fall getan. Das hat aber nichts mit seinem verrenkten Knie zu tun; denn das hatte er schon vorher. Dies muss ein ganz anderer Fall sein. Herr Sauer und Herr Tjernagel machten neulich eine Reise nach Winona, und zwar per Auto. Tjernagel hat si eh noch nicht ganz erholt; es war einfach zu weit fuer ihn.

The Society honored the memory of Mr. E. Haese，’80, and of Mr. August Breutzmann, the latter a faithful janitor and familiar figure on the campus for many years, by rising. Both had died in the past year. The secretary was instructed to extend the sympathy of the Society to Mrs. A. Breutzmann. In the matter of the library building, Professor E. E. Kowalke presented and analyzed the plans, drawings, and cost estimates sul)mitted by the architects Toltz, King, Day, and Company of St. Paul, Minnesota. This reputable firm, known to many alumni as designers of the new building at Dr. Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minnesota, had been engaged by the faculty to draw up pre­ liminary plans for the new library building. In the subsequent discussion there was general rejoicing that definite plans had developed toward the realization of a library building. Upon a motion duly made and seconded the Society al­ lowed $800 to defray the costs of the preliminary plans drawn up by Toltz, King, Day. and Company. The Society now recommended that the motion made in the annual meeting of 1929 relative to “keymen” to be appointed as leaders in the respective classes graduated for the collection of moneys be now acted on. This motion had been held in abeyance for the year past in view of the financial status of the synod The committee on the noontime luncheon of 1930, Professor Theodore Binnhammer, chairman, was requested to arrange a sim­ ilar luncheon at noontime on Commencement Day, Tuesday, June 16, 1931.

On April 27, Count Felix von Luckner, Germany’s famous “sea devil,” who achieved international fame during the world war as a raider on allied ships, who however never took a life, gave his audience in the college gymnasium a real treat when he as much as dramatized the history of his own early years. Despite his German accent, he could easily be understood. His powerful voice carried an interesting' story to all the listeners. Vaingloriously,一 remember, lie was a sailor!—lie told of his adventures and disap­ pointments when he ran away from home in order to escape schoollife and in order to meet Buffalo Bill: of his return to Germany and his becoming a captain in the navy; and of his first experiences as the commander of the raiding vessel. He however disappointed the audience he had gained for himself by breaking off in the mid­ dle of an exciting episode in order to leave for the next town on his lecture-tour. Spring iis a season looked forward to by many of our students, not only because the end of the schoolyear is then not far off, but also because it is in the springtime when nearly all the musical organizations go on a trip or two. -, For Sunday. May 10, the male chorus under Prof. Bolle had been invited to Columbus to give a concert there in the evening. They sang in both the English and the German services in the fore­ noon, after which they were afforded a "royal reception by the members of Zion’s Ev. Luth. Congregation, of which Rev. vvin. Nommensen is pastor. Despite the rainy weather, the spacious church was filled nearly to capacity for the sacred concert in the evening. 44

PYGMALION—JUNE 5 The Northwestern College Players have chosen George Ber­ nard Shaw，s Pygmalion for their annual presentation this year. Shaw is undoubtedly the world’s greatest living playwright. Last year his “Applecart” was successfully staged in Milwaukee. Since Pygmalion met with so much success at Madison, the Wisconsin University Players are staging a second Shavian play this year. At the present time Shaw’s plays are more popular than those of any other writer. 一 Pygmalion was chosen for presentation this year, because it is truly representative of Shaw. It is by far the most difficult play that has ever been given here. The players, however, have all COllfidence in their coach, Prof. Kiessling, who has so successfully coached our former plays.

As we run through the columns of College Chips, we are struck again by one great difference between Northwestern and other col­ leges. One little magnet after another draws our eyes: ^Commit­ tee obtains Varied Numbers in Past School Year”一“Cossacks, von Hoffmann, Scots and Welsh in numbers”一"‘J. C. Bay Speaks to Student Body”一“Four Convention Concerts a Part of 1931 Luther Chorus Itinerary.” The items are like incandescent lamps that shine with the charge of the batteries behind them, batteries of life! And we? Our lamps flicker with the weak charge on our batteries, batteries of death! We ask the student to become dazzled 45

by the brilliancy of other college lamps, like those in College Chips, Old Gold and Black, Augustana Observer, Carthage Collegian, and Capital Chimes;—and then become sick by the dimness of ours. A column of College Chips that the student should think about is “I’ve Been Reading/' Most of us are not readers at all. But wouldn't many be stimulated to read if we had a Book Reviewer or a committee to dangle fascinating pictures of good authors be­ fore our eyes? Probably the most enticing of Old Gold and Black’s columns This was one of the is the one entitled “Famous Remarks, offerings for April 21: ’’I cannot understand why psychologists assert that the maximum period of intelligence is reached at 14. I was more intelligent at six months than I have shown signs of be­ ing since.”一E. P. Barrow.—Here is another one: “It is one of the humiliating features of human nature that we resent a few little things which happen to irritate us more than we appreciate a great deal for which we ought to be grateful. —Ernest Dimnet. Anyone interested in nicclianics should by all means study the well written articles of the Armour Engineer, a Quarterly of the Armour Institute of I'cchnolo^y of Chicago, one of the best schools of its type. The Round Table of April 29 lias a good editorial under the heading, “1)() Rules Make Morals?” \Vc quote a few of the writer’s remarks : "Educational institutions have fallen prey to several present (lay complexes. The reformer has left bis mark. This wave of men and women who are not content to live and let live has in­ fluenced the educators to adopt their creed. The undergraduates in the colleges conic from many types of homes, from several na­ tionalities, and from diversified cultural groups. They enter with different ideas of conduct and values of morality. An attempt is niadc to standardize these young people: to create in them the standards that the educators believe to l)e best. “Secondly, the colleges have adopted the great American pas­ sion for law-making.一Believing that making a rule will change a situation, the educators have taken the attitude that when some­ thing is amiss, make a rule about it. Conduct is interpreted in regulatio ns. The University of Michigan spends $12,000 per year to keep the students from having; cars. Wouldn’t this money do the stu­ dents more good if it were spent on additional equipment?”

AT'刪[TltS Table Slides 7; Northwestern 6 The Northwestern College baseball team officially opened its season as a member of the Industrial League of Watertown on May 2. The opening game turned out to be a thriller, with the Table Slides winning a ten inning battle, 7-6. Northwestern scored 4 unearned runs in the first three innings off the deliveries of W. Jack. Grosnick took up the mound duties in the fourth, scattered 6 hits in seven innings, and was only scored on twice. In the ninth frame, with the score 5-4 in favor of North­ western, Grosnick supplied the hit which produced 2 runs and put the Slides ahead. Northwestern, however, scored once in their half, and thus tied the count at 6 all. Hady’s run in the tenth was suffi­ cient to win the game, since Northwestern failed to score. Capt. Raasch struck out 15 opponents for the outstanding per­ formance of the day. Sixteen errors were made by both teams.

Northwestern 11; Lewis Beewares 3 On May 9 Northwestern crossed bats with the Lewis Beeware team, and scored a brilliant 11-3 victory in a game filled with excitement from beginning to end. The slow field, caused by a light .evening rain, hindered base running and fielding. Coach Kleinke shook up the lineup in an effort to add the necI essary punch for driving in runs. Nor did his effort prove in vain. Kaye walked to the plate in the third frame, and on the first pitch drove the ball high over the left fielder’s head for four bases. It was a poke which would have gone over the fence in a professional ball park. Again in the eighth inning, he smashed the ball for another homer, driving in two runners ahead of him. Buenger’s home run in the fifth and triple in the second accounted for 4 more runs. This gave the Black and Red boys a comfortable lead. A ninth inning rally was checked by Buenger, who ran into short right field to make a nice catch of Killian’s fly. On the next play Raasch threw out Frater to retire the side.

We shall merely mention the scores of the games, and give the outstanding facts concerning each. 1. Seniors 9; Juniors 1. Krueger, hurler for the Seniors, allowed but 6 hits, and was given splendid support by his mates. 2. Freshmen 6; Juniors 17. Schewe finally stopped the hitting of the Juniors, after Gentz had given 15 runs. 3. Tertia 9; Juniors 21. It was good batting practice for both teams. The game was filled with errors. 4. Walther League 5; Juniors 25. Practically every Junior hit a home run. 5. Freshmen 6; Juniors 8. The Juniors did some timely hitting to win this game. Schoeneck started a double play which checked a last inning rally. 6. Walther League 5; Tertia 15. The first few innings were played in a drizzle. Kaye hit a home run.

n

In this beautiful, but chilly spring weather very few among us are entirely immune to the inner urge to flee from our study rooms and to roam about the neighboring countryside. This is especially true of the Quintaners; for added to their own inner impulse is the external impulse supplied by the compulsory seeking of specimens for their herbariums. Hence Quintaners are daily scouring the woods in the vicinity of Watertown for a radius of several miles, in quest of flowers. This Wanderlust is, however, not merely con49

fined to students. Not long ago Schoeneck, Kreie, and Haefner, returning from the dining hall after supper, were amazed to find that their beds had disappeared with all their furnishings. Ex­ haustive searching revealed Haefner’s bed in the trianglp; Schoeneck and Kreie had to recover theirs from the roof of the dormi­ tory. Well-grounded suspicions seem to indicate that the beds were transported thither by means not at all miraculous or super• natural. The tennis court is in almost constant use, except when playing is prevented by rain or l)y darkness (A. M. or P.办M.). Tennis hours can be reserved only a clay ahead of time, and thus the chances are equalized to a large extent. The only disadvantage lies therein, that the best hours are often reserved as early as 4:30 or 5:00 o’clock in the morning". Oh, yes, the Sophomore tree is still alive! And not only that, it’s thriving. Rad loft" has taken upon himself the responsibility of watering the tree and providing for its welfare in general. Raasch, Sippert, Zimpclmann, and Gentz attended a play given 1>y the choir at Juneau. Of course, they made use of the opportunity to stop off at Gcntz's liomc for supper. Rausch maintains that the cigars were pretty good. (IIow should he know ? He only smoked eight of them!) The room-mates and several friends of Ferd. Anton attended the funeral of his father at I lustisford on April 24. On the Saturday before had received the news that their house had been destroyed by fire. Well, we still haven't got rid of the mumps. Just when hopes were running high that they liad finally disappeared from our midst, two new victims, Reuschel and Teske, departed for the sickroom. Of course, they can at least find some consolation in each other’s company. “Al” Maas and Roy Stuhr rather ably represented N. W. C. at the Washington High School Prom in Milwaukee. And we dare not forget to mention several improvements re­ cently introduced- in the washrooms. First there are the vast new waste-paper baskets. On account of the huge dimensions of the new baskets, complaints have been brought against the prevailing custom of having only one person at emptying the basket; the Preps contend that one man is unable to manipulate the basket adequately. Then there are the new screens, which indeed were sorely needed. Of course that may not be giving the June-bugs a fair chance, but—! We never knew tennis to be so dangerous a game as it has proved to be. While playing a match with A. Lehmann, “Sammy” Kugler collided with a tennis-ball having a rather high velocity.

50

As a result “Sammy’s customary giggling and prattling was unheard in the dormitory for a day or so. On Monday night, May 4, our quartette sang at Columbus at a banquet of the Men’s Club. The quartette members report that the evening was a very pleasant and enjoyable one for them, with plenty of fun and laughter, and applesauce. The first of the annual elections of officers for the various so-, cieties, that of the Vesuvius Club, passed over in a comparatively quiet, civilized manner; the results show “Hefty” Haefner to be the new president, with Henry Meyer as vice president, Kreic as secretary, Buenger as treasurer, and Moser as bouncer, the president’s henchman. All that the bouncer had to do last year was to round up the.club members for the annual election, so his job is really only an honorary one. A number of students tried to see the fire in Prof. Herrmann’s garage on May 8; by the time they and the fire-trucks arrived, the fire had already been extinguished. The cause and effect of the fire remain undisclosed, and the damage seems to have been very slight. The students did, however, have the satisfaction of seeing a fire-truck getting stuck in the mud. For some unknown reason Schroeder has suspended “Al” Maas’s “cheer-leader horn” above his desk. Inverted, it might suggest some device like the ''Nuernberger Tricliter.” Alas! What’s this .world coming to? Werner and Geiger II made use of their second (or probably third) permission after Christmas vacation, to go to the food show: Wicke deliberately missed chapel one evening last month; Fischer recently spent a week-end at Northwestern, the first time since Christmas; “Red” Biesmann attempted to teach the Sophomores some Latin in the absence of the professor; Gieschen is trying hard to master the alto in five weeks (of course his room-mates have to suffer for it!); “Vic” Schultz is busy several nights a week teaching the Junior Band and Adolph C. Buenger the rudiments of marching; a young squirrel and a frog have been added to the population of Room 17. Everyone has his troubles, even Jack” Dahlke. Kaschinske and Rossin have signed a compact against him as hall-monitor, for getting them out of bed in time every morning. To top’ it all, “Jack” overheard the following- remark when he was practicing cornet, as he occasionally does: “That must be some beginner prac­ ticing.” The Junior class, almost to a man, attended the play, “Here Comes Patricia,” given by St. John’s Walther League. Six Sen­ iors, three Sophs, and some Preps were also present. Stuhr and Heyn accompanied Prof. Bolle to Appleton on April 51

26. That same Sunday, Martin went to Milwaukee and “Al” Maas stayed here. The Collegiate bowling tournament revealed the Seniors as champions, with the Sophs, Juniors, and Frosh trailing in the order named. Liesener was easily high man with an average of 190 and a top score of 216. Second high man was Warnke with an average of 159. Talk about luck! Geiger surely has that, if anyone ever had it. Of the students that visited the local food show, he alone was able to come off with a prize—a pair of ladies’ silk hose. Froehlich, Naumann, and Vertz traveled to Maclison with Prof, and Mrs. Kiessling to see “Candida,” a play by Shaw. They report that the play was very good and well worth the trip. Hogey Bcrgholz underwent an operation for appendicitis on May 11, and at present writing is recovering nicely. He is the second member of room 27 to l)e operated on for appendicitis since Easter.

Letters, telegrams and visits from Mildred Buck, Vivian Engel, Ruth Mayer, and Betty Jaeger show that our former Co-eds have not entirely forgotten us. Since the stage has been put up in the Gymnasium it is, impos­ sible for the girls to continue their gym classes. Many have now taken up tennis as the means of getting their exercise. Myma Albrecht attended the Golden Wedding Anniversary of lief grandparents at Hortonville, Wisconsin. It must have been Quite a celebration, because she stayed away three days. Lillian Trapp and Glenna Rasmussen “shagged” to Hartland and back one week-end. It wasn't such a bad trip according to their reports. Gertrude Wendland is back to school again after spending two weeks in St. Mary’s Hospital, following an operation for appendiciti?. “Windy” must have thought she was going to make a stay of it, because she got a “pennzment” before she went. The many flowers showed the number of friends she has. Speaking of flowers, Myrtle Paap received a dozen of pink roses for her birthday. These adorned the Girls’ Room for a whole day. Althea Cherry from Beloit College, Beloit, and Mary Friesch from St. Theresa’s College, Winona, Minnesota, recently visited Northwestern with Ethel Kopp. Jane Conway and Agnes Holz52

w.orth visited with Glenn a Rasmussen. Gertrude Gruenwald from Milwaukee Downer College spent a day with Aclele Nommensen. Lillian Trapp was called to Hartland for a few days on account of the illness of her mother. She says that she’s getting up in the world. She had a private coach all the way back to Watertown. Bernice Kieck was pleasantly surprised on her birthday by classmates and friends. She was so overcome by the shock that she couldn’t speak for a whole week—! Myrtle Paap and Dorothy Grotli were week-end visitors at Madison. The local Food Show drew quite a number of students. Sev­ eral got little prizes, but Helene Naumann seemed to be the luckiest • one. She walked off with a twenty-six piece silver set. It has been decided to have the annual Co-ed banquet at the Green Bowl Tea Shop, May 19. The banquet was a success last year and we hope to make it that again. The new officers will be elected before the banquet.

ELEGY Written in a college bedroom (With due apology to Thomas Gray and his scoop, which he picked up in a country churchyard.) The Big Ben tolls the knell of peaceful sleep, The mumbling stude turns slowly in his bed, 53

象gjy Jlla亡b _況成J The senior round-ward plods his weary way, And leaves the room with: “G’wan, roll out, lunkhead.” Now fade the last of sweet dreams from the sight And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the Big- Ben ticks in gross delight, And drowsy groans emerge from tight, warm folds. Beyond those rugged groves, that gray old hill, Where snores the world in cheerful unison, Each in his room till mom may sleep, The alumns of old N. W. The wheezy call of fire-breathing Zink, The old bell tinkling from atop the “dorm,” Old Konk’s shrill clarion or a Senior’s horn, No more shall rouse them from their downy bed. In them no more the 1)lazing wrath shall burn Of busy Senior plying his morning care. Their listless lengths at noontide do they stretch And smile upon the book that lies close by. Oft did the spirit to their weak flesh yield, In those days oft the stubborn rule was broke. How jocund did they sleep till half-past six, Or bum a breakfast if their luck was good. Let not Ambition mar my useful sleep. I face the wall and everything obscures. The Tutor hears with a disdainful smile The snort and wheezing intake of my snore. Perhaps in some neglected spot there lies Some soul that in his day went free. Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, But not so me—for I have got probation.

ENGLISH ORATION Otto Engel MARSHALL AND OUR CONSTITUTION When the din of clanking arms and the roar of hostile cannon that sounded the keynote of independence in our country a century and a half ago had subsided and a union, the product o necessity, long debate, and grud^injx consent, had been 1)rought ajou , our country became the scene of a most stirr.ng drama. 1 ne ma­ chinery of the new government, which had not yet been adjus ec to surmount the many obstacles which loomed in its path, was about to be set into operation. Wc can imagine that the trie ion incident to every new system grated harshly^ on the public sense, for the Constitution of the United States had been wrung rom a reluctant people amid popular discussions and del^ate as to the rights of man and the true principles of government aln'os as_ stormy as the war just ended. Its opponent? almost hopeiul y pre dieted the speedy failure of its administration, and foreto c, 'J1 1 something like a grim delight, the abundant evils and disas ers which would follow on the wake of its overthrow. . ,. It was at this crisis that Mr. Marshall was, by the wise choice 59

1：.

of President Adams, called to the head of the judicial department. His appointment on January 31, 1801, marks an epoch in the legal history of our country. American jurisprudence was then in its infancy, and American constitutional law was a science quite unknown to the common law as well as to the British statutes, in which American lawyers had been previously trained. Marshall's whole career was American. Born on the frontier of Virginia, reared in a log cabin, granted only the barest rudiments of a formal education supplemented by a few months of law at William and Mary, inured to hardships and rougli surroundings during that period of profound gloom, the Revolution, Marshall had risen by the happy choice of Adams to the highest judicial honor America could bestow. Although known to be a capable lawyer, Marshall's appoint­ ment as Chief Justice was bold step, for it did not follow that he would of necessity make a great judge, or, still more, that lie would prove a competent leader of the Bench. Besides being- wholly without previous judicial experience, he had the peculiar task of reaching conclusions in matters wherein hooks and authorities could give him little aid, and of being required to solve questions in re­ spect to which there were no precedents either in theory or practice. Like the pioneer of our western wilderness he had to clear his way through a pathless forest, with no guide but his instinctive resolution, and no help but the resources of his native genius and sagacity. Such, however, were the solidity and clearness of his understanding, the soundness of his judgment, and especially such was his comprehensive, ready, almost intuitive perception of the principles of fundamental justice, which underlies the whole fabric of the law, that even on an originally slender foundation of legal acquirement he soon reared a vast structure. This was accomplished by wholly new rules, under entirely novel exigencies, and for ends and purposes never before sought. How Marshall, though party spirit and political excitements of the hour strongly tended to swerve men from their equilibrium and to blind their judgments, was able to keep the even tenor of his way, holding' the scales of justice equitably, unperturbed l)y the tempests of passion or preju­ dice which raged around him, is indeed astonishing. His clear head and his patient industry gave him peculiar qualifications for laboring in the chaos into which the jurisprudence of the State had been plunged by the war. .In surveying the results of labors of thirty-four years it is ob­ vious that it was in the decision of cases involving constitutional law that the force and clearness of the Chief Justice’s intellect shone ni9s^ conspicuously. The fathei s who framed the Constitution had originally created a system of “checks and balances” dividing the 60

^:Hell J

t

power of government among legislative, executive, and judicial branches with confused and uncertain boundaries for each. It de­ volved upon Marshall to prove the supremacy of the judiciary. In the hot contest waged between the advocates of a strict and those of a liberal construction of the language of the instrument—the Federalists over against the Republicans_he maintained that there should be neither a liberal nor a strict construction, but “that the simple, natural, and usual meaning of its words and phrases should govern their interpretation; that its provisions are neither to he restricted into insignificance nor extended to objects not com­ prehended by them nor contemplated by its framers.” He, therefore, studiously sought to avoid each extreme, hoping thereby to steer safely in the middle course. But, with most broad principles, the greatest difficulty lay in their application to particular cases. Marshall had been in his high post only two years when lie laid down for the first time in the name o£ the entire court llic doctrine that the judges have the power to declare an Act of Gm^rcss null and void 'vhen, in their opinion, it encroaches upon the Constitution. This was in the fa­ mous Marhury vs. Madison case. The Constitution, ran Marsliall’s premise, is the supreme law of the land: it controls and binds all who act in the name of the l了nited States; it limits the powers of Congress and defines tlie rights of citizens. If Congress could ignore its limitations and trespass upon the privileges of citizens, Marshall argued, then the Constitution would disappear and Con­ gress would become sovereign. Since the Constitution must be and is from the nature of things supreme over Congress, it is the duty of judges, under their oath of office, to sustain it against measures which infringe upon it. Therefore, reasoning from the inherent structure of the American constitutional system, the courts must declare null and void all acts which are not authorized by the Constitution. From that day to this the practice of federal and sti^e courts in passing upon the constitutionality of law has re­ mained unshaken. The case of Dartmouth College, which involved the important question whether a grant of corporate powers by legislation is a contract whose obligation the States are inhibited from impairing, attracted great attention at the time, by reason of some peculiar circumstances surrounding it. To this day it remains one of the post interesting and important cases which have ever come to the Supreme Court. The facts were these: a charter was granted to Dartmouth College in i 1769 by the Crown, Oil the representation that property would be given to the College if chartered. After the charter was granted, _____ property _____ was ________ ___ In 1816 the actually given." legislature of New Hampshire passed three acts amending this 61

^ 況成 j

&

charter, which amendments the trustees, however, would not ac­ cept. They carried their case to the Supreme Court of the United States. That charter, asserted Marshall, basing his decision on the clause in the Constitution that provides that no State shall pass a law impairing the obligation of contracts, was a contract between the State and the College which under the federal Constitution no legislature could impair. The celebrated case of McCullack vs. the State of Maryland involved the question of constitutional power ot Congress to in­ corporate a national bank, a question which had elicited warm dis­ cussion throughout the country. In reality, however, the question at issue was whether the Supreme Court could set aside a decision of a State Court. It was insisted, on the one hand, that the Con­ stitution conferred no authority on Congress to create a corpora­ tion, notwithstanding the clause conferring the power to make all laws that were necessary and proper to carry into effect the powers enumerated in the instrument; furthermore, that these words meant only such laws as were absolutely and indispensably necessary. without which the powers conferred would be nugatory. On the other hand, it was argued that in order to carry on its operations the government must act by officers and agents, and that in the choice of these it was not restricted to means which were only ab­ solutely necessary, but might have recourse to such as were proper and necessary in the ordinary sense and meaning of these words. In rendering his decision regarding this so-called “elastic” clause. Marshall constructed generously the words “necessary and proper’’ in such a way as to confer upon Congress a wide range of “implied powers” in addition to its express powers. It may seem to some of us that it was comparatively simple for Marshall, in any case of entirely novel complexion, to say, it is―or, it is not一within the Constitution. But to support the de­ cision by an opinion professionally and technically satisfactory, framed in accordance with the spirit of the law, consonant with its fundamental principles which, though upon distinct questions, should yet so combine and harmonize as in conjunction to shape the broad outlines of constitutional law, was an achievement for which fe'v judges who have ever lived could prove competent. We have seen that our Constitution, as expounded by shrewd Chief Justice Marshall, is not a strait-jacket but a flexible instrument vesting in the national legislature full authority to meet national problems as they arise and at the same time providing1 safe­ guards against abuse of power. We have seen, furthermore, mere words of parchment transformed into an engine of sovereign com­ pulsion. These are undoubtedly wise and sound views of the scope and :

powers of the federal government under the Constitution. The Civil war, which devastated wide areas of our country, tore com­ munities and cities asunder, and for a time bade fair to sweep this nation into an abyss of destruction, stands forth in history as a glaring example of the disastrous results of a loo narrow construction of the instrument, of the fatal consequences attending a denial of those powers of self-assertion and self-preservation to our gov­ ernment which are necessary not only for its purposes, but for its very existence. Whether in recent years the pendulum has swung to the other extreme allowing a too liberal construction of the in­ strument, whether it has been wrenched to the cracking point by cunning, ambitious, unprincipled men overwhelming us with an inundation of laws, whether this unique movement afloat in our land today, this passion for making laws, will 1〕car evil fruit, still remains a problem for time to solve. I^et us, however, who are dependent on an efficient judiciary for the normal course of our affairs，continue to pray God that he would grant us sagacious, honest, incorruptible men at the liclm of the ship of state, men who administer justice with equity ?ind even-handed impartiality，for in their hands our social welfare lies. Finally let us cherish the memory of that man who dedicated thirty-four years of his life toward laying the foundation for llie structure of law and adminis­ tration of justice under which we today enjoy peace, security of personal rights, and equity一John Marshall, the shrewd, judicious, stern old Chief Justice, the ex])ouiuler of our Constitution.

GERMAN ORATION Oscar Nauniann HULDREICH ZWINGLI . Am^ 11. Oktober sind cs gerade vierhundert J ahre, class Huldreich Zwingli, der Reformator der Schweiz, in cler Schlacht bei Kappel fiel. Im Glanze des i»roesseren Reformators Luther, der zur selben Zeit auftrat, leuchlet Zwinglis Stem nicht so hell, als wenn er allein aufgetreten waere. Und doch hat er, ziemlich unabhaengig von Luther, selbstaendig1 cine bedeutende Reform durchgefuehrt und verdient es wohl, dass wir uns einmal mit seinem I-eben und Wirken kurz befassen. Huldreich Zwingli wurcle am 1. Januar 1484, etwa zwei Alonate nach der Geburt Luthers, zu Wildhaus in der Schweiz geboren. Er war der dritte in einer Familie von acht Soehnen, unci da er schon als j unger Knabe ho he Geistesgaben zeigte, bestimmten seme wohlhabenden Eltern ihn fuer clen geistlichen Stand. Er 63

Khďźš.

widmete sich humanistischen Studien imd zeigte sein ganzes Lebeti hindurch eine starke Neigung zum Verstandesmaessigen. Unter seinen Lehrern waren grosse Humanisten wie Lupulus und Erasmus. ihn seine GeIm Jahre 1506 'vurcle er Pfarrer zu Glarus, meinde bald wegen seines heftigen Auftretcns gegen (las Reislaufcn vertrieb. Hierauf zog er als Felclprediger in den Krieg unci lernte hier lioch mehr die Greuel des Soeldnerdienstes kennen, der die gesundesten und staerksten Maenner aus deni Lande lockte und daniit den Bestancl der ganzen Nation zu untergraben drohte. Als Hilfsprediger an clem beruehmten Wallfahrtsorte Maria-liinsiedcln predigte er gegen den Heiligendienst und den Alilasshandel. Er erkannte hier, wie die Kirche ganz von der Schrift abge'viclieii war, imd setzte sich nun ein doppeltes Lebensziel: einc religioese und. als echter Schweizer, eine politische Reform.^ition durchzufuehrcn. Als er im Jahre 1518 als Leutpriester am grossen Muenster nach Zuerich berufen wurde, hekam er die erste GelcjxcMiheit, seine reformatorischen Gedanken in die Tat um/.usetzen. Er predigte das Evangelium nach der Schrift und hielt taeglich oeffentliche Bibclstunden, in welchen er die Schrift auslegte. Zugleich zog er die Regierung mit hinein und brachte es clahin, class der Rat Y.W Zuerich den Ablasshanclel verbot, Bilder aus den Kirchen entfernte, Kloester aufhol) und die Messe abschafifte, dagegen aber die Predigt des Evangelii befahl (1520) und clas Abendmahl in bcidcrlei Gestalt erlaubte. Er ueberliess der weltlichen Regierung das ganze Kirchenregiment, weshalb seine Reformation etwas Gesetzliches an sich trug. Mit einer Kirchenreform, die er nun soweit gluecklich clurchgefuehrt hatte, gab er sich jedoch nicht zufrieden. C)bgďźšlcich (lie Kantone Zuerich, Bern, Basel, St. Gallen und Schaffhausen unci verschiedene Ortschaften in Sueddeutschland seine Reform mit Freuden aufnahmen, konnte er es nicht leiden, class die fuenf Urkantone: Uri, Schwyz, Untenvalden, Zug und Luzern katholisch 1)lieben, sich wider seine Reform straeubten und so die Ausbildung1 seines erwuenschten Bundesstaats verhinderten. Sie waren bereit, ihren Glauben mit Waffen zu verteidigen und schlossen zum Schutz einen Vertrag mit Oestreich.. Zwingli, der iim Stacltrat clen groessten Einfluss hatte, sclilug einen Krieg vor. Da die fuenf Urkantone keine Hilfe von Oestreich bekamen, mussten sie auf den ersten Kappeler Frieden eingehen, der die freie Predigt des Evangel.ii versicherte und die Fuenforte zwang, ihren Vertrag mit Oestreich aufzuloesen. Scheinbar hatte Zwingli einen glatten Sieg. errungen, und es schien, als wuerde er sein Ziel erreichen. .Als der Refonnator nun so auf der Hoehe seines Erfolges und seiner Macht stand, dachte Philipp von Hessen, es wuerde selir 64

vorteilhaft fuer die deutsche Reformation sein, vvenn die Wittenberger und die Zuericher vereinigt werden koennten. Er lud beide Parteien auf sein Schloss zu Marburg ein, wo sie ihre Lehren darcn uncl vvomoeglich einen Ausgleich zustande bringen sollten. alien Punkten war man sich einig, nur nicht in der Abendmahlslehre. Zwingli wollte das Abendmahl rein symbolisch auffassen und sagte, man muesse lesen : “Das bedeutet nieinen Leil).’’ Luther aber in seinem treuen Beharren bei der woertlichen Annahme der Sclirift bestand darauf, es stehc geschriel)en : “Das ist mein Leil),” und man duerfe nichts daran aendcrn. Er kannte von An fang an die Eigentuemliche Stellung der Schweizer in diesen Fragen und liatte keine Hoffnung auf Vereinigung geliaht. Deshalb war er nicht enttaeuscht ueber dc*n 八usgang, als das Gespraech, ohne etwas ausgerichtet zu h;i1)en, zu Elide kam. Nun wandte sich Zwingli mit Gewaltmassrcgeln gegen die Fuenforte, uni seine politische Reform durchzufuehren. Die Berner, (lie eine Kornsperre vorgeschlai^cn halten, wollten (lie Urkantone (lurch Hungersnot bez\vingc*n. Gegen Zwinglis VVillen verhinderten sie die Zufuhr von Korn, Salz und andren noetigen Lebensmitteln. Der Versuch misslang. Anstatt sich zu fuegen, ruesteten sich die Urkantone und fielen ploetzlich in Zuerich ein. Durch diese unerwartete Wemluiig. gaenzlich verwirrt, konnten (lie Zuericlier in cler grossen Eile nur einen notduerftig bewaffneten Mann gegen je vier rachcschnauhendc Keimle stellen. In der Schlacht bei Kappel am 11. Oktobcr 1531 wurden die Zuericher vernichtend geschlagen. Zwingli, der als liannertraeger niitgezogen war, wurde von cineni Stein getrofTcn und blieb betaeubt unter den Gefallcnen liegen, wo ihn die Fcindc nach der Schlacht fan den. Da er sich weigerte. zu beichten und (lie Heiligen anzurufen, toeteten ihn die Katholischen, teilten seiiien Leichnam wie den eines Verraeters und verbrannten ihn wie den eines Ketzers. So endigte Huldreich Zwingli. Er hatte zum Schwert gegrifYen und ist auch (lurch's Schwert umgekommen. Mit seinem 丁ode enclete auch seine Reformation zum grossen Teil. Die Urkantone fuehrten den katholischen Kuhns wieder ein, die Sueddeutschen wandten sich den Wittenbergern und dem schmalkaldischen Bunde zu，und die zuericher Theokratie ging zugrunde. An Zwinglis Reformation ist vieles, was wir nicht gut heissen koennen. Da ist zum Beispiel die Tatsaclie，class unter seiner Herrschaft (denn er war ja fast ein Diktator in Zuerich) etliche Wiedertaeufer, die fest bei ihrer Lehre beharrten, kalten .Blutes ertraenkt wurden. Zwingli verfuhr zu radikal in seiner Reformation, so class die Leute sich oft nicht in die ne«e Lage finden konnten. Was nicht ausdruecklich in der Schrift geboten war，beseitigte Zwingli, waehrend Luther clagegen so weit wie moeglich alles beibehielt, 65

was nicht in der Schrift verbolen war, damit die schwaecheren Christen an den ploetzlichen Umvaelzungen keinen Anstoss faenden. Zwinglis radikales Wesen zeigte sich in den Bilderstuermern, die alien Schmuck in den Kirchen zertruemmerten. Die Gnadenmittel erkannte Zwingli nur als Symbole an unci nahm ilinen so ilire HaupthedeiUuiig. Sein hoechstes Ziel war cine stren^e gesctzniaessige Sittenzucht, 'vie sie heute noch in den kalvinistischc*n Sekten, (lie seine Ideen weiterfuhren, herrsclit. Luther spricht ein kurzgefasstes Urteil ueber ihn aus, wenn c*r ihm zu Marl^urg zurufl: “Ilir habt einen arnlren Geist.” Das ist aus den Anfaengen seiner Reform zu erklaeren. Zwingli kam nicht wie Luther (lurch Seelenkaempfe unci Gewissensangst zu der rechten Erkenntnis. Er ging melir von einem wissenschaftlichen Standpunkte aus. In seinen humanistiscben Studien erkannte er die Feliler und Irrlehren der Kirclie. Seine Reformation faengt 1>ei aeusserlichen Sachen an, waehrend Luthers Reformation im Herzen an faengt und sich claim aucli mit auf das Acussere vcrbreitet. Zwingli war inehr ein kalter Verstandesmensch und Aufklaerer, Luther clagegen ein Gefuehlsmensch und Mystiker. Obgleich Zwingli in verschiedenen Sachen falsch stand, und seine Mittel und Wege oft radikal und falsch waren, so hat er dennoch viel dazuljeigetragen, die schriftgemaesse Predigt des Evangelii in der Schweiz widerherzustel lcn, Christum als den einzigen Erloeser und Mittler vvieder an Stellc der Heiligen setzen und das Joch des Papsttums abzuwerfen.

LATIN ORATION Erwin Froehlich IN WHICH THINGS IS SEEN THE GREATNESS OF THE ROMANS In recent years a wide discussion has been carried on about the value of a classical education. There are especially two groups, one of which thinks lightly of the study of thp classics, while the other group strongly defends it. The former contend that the full­ ness of life can only l)e enjoyed 1)y those who devote themselves to the ardent study of the new sciences; the latter say that all the attainment of ancient and recent peoples, in like manner, are useful mid must form the substance of human culture and civilization. However, since no nation is smaller than its most celebrated men .it behooves me to say something about the opinions of some of the outstanding men of Rome. In this manner we shall easily gain an adequate knowledge of the things in which to them the greatness of the Romans appeared. 66

Sallust, in his essay on Cataline expresses himself in this way: “Do not think that our forefathers made the state large by force of arms;—there were other things which made them great, which \ve are now lacking: industry at home, a just rule abroad, a mind unimpaired in deliberation and not addicted to wrong and lust.” Nowhere did the practical mind of the Romans display a greater aptitude than in the development of its powerful army. However, conquest was but one accomplishment and not the great­ est. Far greater than conquest was the unique management of its vast conquered territory. A just government for all was Roman policy. Therefore they seldom interfered with the government of the provinces. Seldom did they change the religion, customs, laws, and institutions of the conquered. They sought the friendship of the provinces, not the ruling power over them. Aeneas, the founder of Rome, is consistently called the piqus Aeneas by Virgil. By this epithet Virgil wishes to show that piety is a Roman characteristic. Their piety, or loyalty, is shown in various ways. Reverence toward their gods is displayed, the one hand, by the countless sacrifices and prayers, the temples, and shrines; on the other hand, l)y the many utterances of Roman writ­ ers who frankly state that all prosperity, at home and abroad, must l)e assigned to the gods only. This loyalty was also practiced in the homes and among their friends. Virtue is a word which among： all nations of antiquity was peculiar to the Romans. For that reason Cicero wrote: “Virtue proper is of Roman origin and seed.” Scipio said in Spain: “In this ruin of things the virtue of the Roman people alone stood un­ impaired and immovable, this raised up and supported all that was brought to the ground.” From this iountain their keen sense of virtue flowed, their obedience toward the laws and the fatherland. Sallust, in speaking of the greatness of the Romans, mentions industry at home among the first things. The Romans took a keen interest in the progress of the state, especially in that of Rome: an.d they proved this interest by diligent application. Time per­ mits me to mention only a few things of excellence. Among the nations of antiquity the Romans excelled all others in the construction of permanent thoroughfares. A veritable net­ work of roads spread out from Rome into every section of Roman territory. These roads facilitated the transportation of the army, but they also encouraged travel and brought the integral parts of the Roman territory more closely together. They, moreover, proved very valuable for dispatching messengers and sending mail. .A marvel of the old world were the waterworks of Rome. For si〒ty miles and more water was piped from springs in the moun­ tains to supply the city with pure water. 67

1 Sanitary conditions among the Romans were unique in the old world. A mere mention of its sewerage system will suffice here. However, public baths deserve more attention. The sanitary public bath system has never been equalled in modern times. Rome was not a large city; its population was somewhat more than one mil­ lion inhabitants, lmt it had facilities to accommodate 36,000 bathers at one time. Among their industry at home must also be mentioned their places of public entertainment, the Circus Maximus, the Coliseum, and numerous other places. Even tlie modern world, after so many centuries, has nothing that would equal them in magnitude and grandeur. If their temples, their triumphal arches, their monuments did not rank favorably with those of Greece and other nations in beauty and artistic finish, nevertheless, they contributed a greater heritage to humanity than those of other peoples of antiquity. Here someone may say that the Romans did little or nothing in the mental realm, in the field of literature. Little they did in­ deed in comparison with the Greeks. However, to dream was Greek, to do was Roman. Mucius Scaevola said : ''Both to do and to en­ dure brave things is Roman.” Muncius Rufus has this to say: “By daring and doing the Roman state increased.11 Amaeus Florus exclaimed: “O singular courage and spirit of the Roman people in so many adversities.” Plutarch, in speaking of the greatness of Rome, gives a long array of names of Romans wlio were men of deeds rather than men of thought. Still, lie who says that the Romans contributed little in literary art seems to lack a proper understanding of I^oman literature. Tlic knowledge of ancient philosophy is largely preserved for us in Roman literature. The finds of natural history have come down to modern times in the Latin language. The pagan religion of antiquity found its fullest discussioii in imagery and artistic per­ fection. Roman oratory holds a peerless place in the literature of all times. Roman satire, as represented l)y Horace and Juvenal, has served as a model, generation after generation. Roman juris­ prudence is still waiting for a superior and will perhaps wait a long time. Even lyric poetry had a nest of singing birds, which in form and content have a sweetness and fullness that are not easily sur­ passed. I have endeavored to submit to you in brief words a few things in which the greatness of the Romans is apparent. May we ever cherish and honor this great heritage by diligent devotion and use­ ful application. Ours will be the delight, ours the lasting benefit.

ANOTHER PROBLEM

our stage, or Again we return to that much argued topic rather our lack of one. For several weeks now a groiij of students have been working day and night to build a stage for the play. During this entire time these students have very little time left for their studies. Their teachers complain, and with cause. The same is repeated throughout the entire year. For every concert or pro­ gram of any kind, a stage must be built. Then, also, for every regular literary program the small stage must be carried lip and erected. After a stage has once been used it is torn down and cut up to build a different one, causing a great loss of time and money. Then there is the matter of appearance. Our stages, because of the great width of the gym, which must be “fenced off,” usually look like a crazy quill. There is not enough material of one kind or color to cover the entire width, and the result is that materials of different quality and color are patched together. There should be a remedy for this situation and anyone who has any practical plan should not hesitate to offer it. With apologies, we offer one of our own which we think might be put into effect. It has already been suggested that a permanent stage be built in the rear of the gym. The obstacle is lack^of funds. 76

1 The Literary Societies this year spent nearly $100 in erecting a stage for the play. Why couldn't a permanent stage be built on borrowed funds ? Then the Literary Societies could pledge a certain amount, the money spent every years in erecting a stage, to­ ward paying off this debt. Dues might even he collected from each member for a few years for this purpose. A small amount might even be appropriated from each concert and program given in the gyni. In this way the debt would soon be payed off and we would have a permanent stage with pcrha]>s a few dressing rooms and adequate lighting and wiring. What special scenes were needed could he constructed and saved and soon enough of these would he at hand for any play which was to be given. It’s at least something to think about, or if you have any other workable plan, let’s hear it. K. GOOD WORK For some time now we lmvc watched the progress of a newcomer in the world of |)iil)licatinn, the “Shrdlii, our Prep paper, recognition of its existence is and now it occurs to us that already over-due. We niusi confess that we were at first a little of this endeavor, 1)ut after seeing skeptical as to the possible the results and after 'vatcliiiig the arrival of several numbers，we have deserted our skepticism in favor of admiration. No one, es­ pecially those who have had nn experience in the publication of a school paper, can rightly apimdate the difficulties tbc Preps had to overcome, and it speaks well for them that these obstacles were so readily overcome. We see many things which we can justly praise and admire in their efforts but, as with all enterprises, there are also some thing; which might be changed and improved. The “Slirdlu” is well arranged and in close touch with the life of the students, thus giving it much more interest. It possesses none of that stiffness that—we must say it—is often found in the 44Black and Red.” ]here seems, however, to he a tendency in some of the article巧 to crowd in as many so-called “jawbreakers” as possible where a simple word would be much more effective. This is perhaps the result of a mistaken idea that because a thi.n^ appears in print it must seem learned. Another thin笑 we should like to warn the Prep staff against is loss of enthusiasm. The project is still young and we cannot but admire the enthusiasm shown by the entire Prep department. Therefore, in closing, we say: keep up the same en­ thusiastic spirit and your work wiil continue to be as good and even better. 77

獅XL财 In the evening of May 12 the orchestra under the direction of Professor Herrmann enjoyed their first trip of the 1931 spring scason. Thcy appeared under the auspices of the Voun^ People's Society of the Ev. Lutheran Church at Hartland, Wis., at the Com­ munity Hall where they ably rendered an enjoyable concert, The singing of the well-known male quartette from Northwestern, the clarinet duet by Warnke and Ehlcrt, and the cornet solo by Dobratz gave the prgram variety and added color. On Whitmonday, May 25, most of the musical organizations of Northwestern College participated in the concerts given at the beau­ tiful and spacious Memorial Cluipel of Lawrence College at Appleton, Wisconsin. A special train chartered from the Northwestern Railroad Company carried the various instruments and members of the male chorus, the band，and the orchestra to Appleton. In the afternoon at 4:00 o'clock a concert was given, appropriate for the children who had assembled. After a plenteous and most tasty meal the boys had an o pportunity to walk about town and to look over the Lawrence buildings until 8:00 o’clock when the evening concert began. It might have been a bigger success, and the audi­ ence, which was quite large, might have been better pleased, had the length of the program been cut clown at least 45 minutes. As usual the male quartette, which also appeared on the program, and the band "went over biggest,” although lengthy applause also fol­ lowed the orchestra numbers and Donald Schwarz’s piano solo. On Memorial Day our Military Band heljjed the Watertown people celebrate by joining- in their parade. The flashy band «mforms were quite an attraction. The cool weather this year on May 80

30 made marching much more comfortable than it has been in the past few years. The next day, Sunday, May 31, the band enjoyed a trip to Ju­ neau. Here they were a part of the entertainment for the people gathered at the amuicnl school picnic of St. Johns Ev. Luth. Con­ gregation. The weather was just ideal i for such an affair: a bright sun, a clear sky, spotted with a few white clouds, a pure atmosphere, and a light, breeze. Soon after the church services in the forenoon the band played a few marches in the main streets of Juneau, while tlicy displayed their ability in keeping step and following the comniarnls of the drum major, Mr. Victor Schultz. This put them into a mood to tackle tlieir next assignment: chicken dinner. Enough's said! The greater part of iho afternoon was spent on thc band wagon. Soon after the supjht, which was as appetizing as the dinner had been, Juneau cars again hrouglit the boys back home.

NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE MALE QUARTETTE Four years ago, three members of this quartette, Mr. Alfred Schewc, first tenor; Mr. Paul Heyn, second tenor, and Mr. Otto l'-ngel, first bass, sani^ in the so-called Freshmen Quartette at Northwestern College, ’「lie following year Mr. Adolph Buenger of Kenosha, took the place of the former second bass singer, who had cliscontimicd his studies at Northwestern. During the follow­ ing year they represented the College at many churches and social gatherings throughout the state. This year they have been doing the same. When the Northwestern College Military Band gave a concert at Milwaukee in February, the quartette sang Tennyson s cross­ ing the Har." This piece is the most difficult number the quartette has ever sung. It is rarely attempted except by trained concen singers. The presentation of this piece was greeted 'vi 1 'v applause at Milwaukee. This year they appeared on twenty-seven different occasions including- such places as Pardeeville, 'Vest Bend, Milwaukee, Columljus, Beaver Dam, Kenosha. Madison, Clintonville, and they also broadcast a program over WISJ at Madison.

AT麵:ms Booth Shoes 15; Northwestern 4 The Northwestern nine was handed a thorougli trouncing in the game played with the Booth Shoe team on May 16. After nine innings of ragged baseball were played, the box score indicated the Shoe team as the victor by the disheartening count of 15-4. Raasch was greeted in the first inmng by two home runs, one l)y Braunschweig，the other by Hoppe. Koehler was finally in­ serted in the fifth, but was unable to halt the attack. The Black and Red boys committed 10 errors, 5 being charged against Schewe. Kaye again played an encouraging' game in the center garden. In the sixth inning he ran into deep left center field to take Hoppe's high fly ball.

Nevertheless, the Northwest­ ern team was ready to meet the Seminary hoys in their traditional game on May 20. Raasch and Bicsmaii were chosen to devise methods of retiring the Seminarians, while HlunKMithal and Hoeneckc made up the bat­ teries for tlie visitors. Non 1iwestern scored first. In the third in­ ning- Kaye sent a slashing double to left, which scored Bucn, and he also rounded the bases after Witt allowed the ball to escape from him. Northwestern scored their last run in the fifth. Gentz advanced to third on a fielder's choice, lnit scored when Fritze threw wide to Eckert in an attempt to catch the runner. The “Sem” was unable to meet the ball when a bit was most necessary. In the third inning Voigt and Eckert started with sin­ gles. Witt and Hoenecke struck out, and Blumenthal hit to Buch, who threw him out at first. Witt scored for the Sem on a wild pitch in the fifth, and Kasischke sent a sharp smgle to center which scored Leersscn. Voigt scored in the sixth on Eckert s infield out to tie the score. The “§em” took the lead in the seventh on Kasischke’s high fly to center, which tallied “Abie” Blumenthal after the catch. Biesman was hit by a pitched ball, and moved to second on Ra.asch’s single to open Northwestern's half of the ninth inning. \Vith no outs, and a runner in scoring position, Blumenthal found his control, and retired the side in rapid order. Buch was called °ut on strikes, Gentz hit to the pitcher, who threw out the runner going to third, and Kaye went out from Blumenthal to Leerssen. 85

Raasch hurled Ihc two previous games with little effect, and was in need of rest. It was the first game that Koehler started in varsity competition, hut his control was good, and in all departments he showed himself a promising and impressive liurler. Koehler should have escaped seven innings witliout a run. Krrors, however, were costly in the first, when 3 runs crossed the plate. The Cashiers earned a run in the eighth, when liuchert walked, stole second and third, and counted on Grosnick’s hit. It' was a pitcher’s duel from beginning to end. Buchert al­ lowed 7 hits, struck out 12 batters, and gave no base on balls. Koehler gave but 4 hits, struck out 7, and gave 2 bases on balls.

The fielding depart­ ment is in a sorrowful condition, and it becomes more and more evident that more practice in this line might help to a great extent.

TENNIS The classes of the preparatory department are at present en­ gaged in their respective class tournaments: In ihe Sexta class Kirst is in the lead with victories over Harmeninj*', 6-0, 6-1, and Frederick, 6-0, 6-0. Geweke's 6-2, 6-2 victory over Sicglcr gives him the lead among the Quintaners. Quarta has Grosnick and W. Lehman on top with two matches apiece. The "l'ertia class lias concluded their race, and we find Fredericks alone without the loss of a match against his credit. He defeated Notbohm in a grueling battle, 6-0, 5-7, 6-4, to win the championship match.

So this is the last issue for the school-year 1930-1931. Summer vacation has almost overtaken us and already plans have been considered by everyone, as to how the summer is to be spent. The Seniors and the Sextaners especially are looking forward to the end of the school year. For the Seniors it means the end of their college days, and marks a turning point in their career, yes 88

| mUXiXt^ ^:j in their lives; for the Sextaners also the end of the school-year has a special significance, for with it the days of being looked down upon as the lowest class are over, and soon there will be another class occupying the lowest berth at Northwestern. As to summer vacation, the most popular occupation seems to be that of salesman, particularly in the line of Bibles. No doubt the canning factories will again recruit a goodly number from our ranks; the rest of us will be scattered to the four winds, but happy are those whose home is on the farm. On May 17 the St. Luke's choir was host to the choir of Trinity congregation from Milwaukee. This gave the Milwaukee choir members an opportunity to inspect our buildings and grounds, and they did so under the guidance of Messrs. Baumann, Meyer, Armin and Hans Schultz. They seem to have been most pleased by the aspect of our park. Richard Loga attended the Walt her League Convention at She­ boygan on May 16 and 17. He reports that the Convention was well worth missing a day of school. A group of Juniors including Rciny, Luther, Art, Amy, Hank, Otto, and Rope celebrated their traditional annual chicken supper at the Main Cafe on May 7. The annual banquet of the old and new members of the Athletic Board was held on the cvcMiin^ of May 21. Ilogcy Bergholz has been excused from school for the rest of the year to allow him to recuperate from an operation for appendi­ citis. He left St. Mary's Hospital on May 22 and went to his home in Green Bay on thef following clay. After Easter begins the busy season for ou r musical organizations, for that is the time when most of the out-of-town engage­ ments are to be filled. But none of the organizations can compete with the Quartette in the numher of engagements per year or even per single clay. On May 24th the Quartette sang for two morning services at Beaver Dam; in the afternoon they sang several num­ bers for the patients of the Deaconess Hospital, also at Beaver Dam; at six p. m. they broadcast a sacred program from WISJ in Madison; and in the evening they supplied some of the entertain­ ment at the reunion services of the Rev. Fischer’s confirmation classes, at Madison. Well, that's going some! They have so many invitations to sing that they are continually turning some down for want of time, etc. On Friday, May 29, they sang at Kenosha at an entertainment given by the school band of the Rev. Buenger's church. ， Some of the trees m i our park have been pruned and “doctored UP by tree physicians. Judging by the number of branches on the ground after the men had finished their work, the trees must 89

have been sorely in need of attention. And speaking of trees, 'vc must not forget the ill-fated Sophomore tree; it seems to be unable to withstand the onslaughts of the “college horse” and the “college cows” and is approaching extinction. But while we’re speaking of objects on the campus, we must not forget the new steel fence that is being erected on the west side of the campus. And that brings us to another improvement, a second tennis court. This newer court is not of concrete as the other one is, and hence it is not being used nearly so continuously. Sippert seems to have developed an unusual interest in the tele­ phone of late. Not at all infrequently―quite regularly in fact一 he journeys out to Lebanon to see whether the telephone operator is busy. “Nibs” Sauer accompanied Lutzke to the latter's home at Beaver Dam, to spend the week-end from May 23 to 25. On May 25 the band, orchestra, and chorus traveled to Appleton on a special train. Several of the band members had sq much surplus energy left, even after the second concert, that they couldn’t refrain from having a “rehearsal” the greater part of the way home. Very few, if any, succeeded in snatching- any sleep on the way bacK because of numerous and varied disturbances. While the or­ ganizations were at Appleton, Kaschinske had charge of affairs in the dormitory. Even his authority was insufficient to ward off the disaster of a broken window, resulting from a football game in for­ bidden territory. “Andy” Froehlich, “Vic” Schultz, Naumann, and Rossin hiked down Rock River for about seven miles. They mainlain that sup­ per never tasted better to them than it did out there. The walk back was, however, not so easy and enjoyable; at least one of the party arrived here in his socks, with his boots slung over his shoul­ der. “Uns geht ein Licht auf,” says Iioepner in bedroom number 81. And with good reason: for four months their bedroom was witliout light from the time when the sun departed in the west until it rose again in the east. Recently the use of electric lights was again restored to them by the kind intervention of the electrician. “Bill” Fischer attended the funeral of his uncle on May 27. The stage committee has already been busy for several weeks. Perhaps the greatest difficulty that confronted them was the creating of artificial rain. Baumann is not only working on the stage, but is increasing his vocabulary thereby at the same time. Raasch and Siegler spent the week-end on a farm in order to catch up on rest and sleep. They didn’t succeed there, so they tried it at La Crosse several weeks later, with no better results. On account of the proximity of the finals even Sammy” Kug90

ler has been forced to give up his customary nocturnal rendezvous and to devote more time to the serious side of college life. Class debates have become the important thing for some of our English classes. For days floods of oratory have been issuing forth from the barracks windows as the debates on various topics are in progress. Several students saw the three one-act plays given by Winne­ bago Academy at Fond du Lac on May 29. Two of the playlets had been presented by our literary societies previously, but they were enjoyed nevertheless. The election of class-officers for Tcrtia turned out as follows: for president, Thurow: for vice-president, Schroecler; for secretary and treasurer, Bartlicls. The College colors, black and red, have been chosen as their cl.^iss colors. The pattern of their sweaters and pennants is designed by the athletic hoard and approved by a member of the faculty. Instead of having a class banquet, as has been customary for a numljcr of years, the class is having outing with Miss liruesehf>lT acting as hostess. On May 31, “Jack” Duhlkc slept through breakfast for the first time (luring his four years at Northwestern. Can you beat that ?

(Ho-iE& Nut紙 The annual Co-ed banquet, held at the Green Bowl, was again a success. After a delicious supper, our president-elect Miss Faber c$lled for speeches, songs, and impersonations from several of the girls including members of the graduating class. After the ban­ quet the girls played bridge and bunco. Our new officers, Betty Faber, President; Adele Nommensen, Vice-President; Elenor Stern, Secret;tary, and Arline Schumann, Treasurer, were given the place of honor. ,Lillian Lutovsky and Adele Herro attended the May Day Fes­ tival at St. Mary’s College of Milwaukee. Lillian made reservations there for the next year. ;^ Elenor Nack surprised us the other clay by bringing a beau­ tiful bouquet of cut flowers for the Collegiate room. This explains why the Prep-room was empty for at least two days. The Preps niVst have tired of the plant Ruby Holzheuter and “Liz” Stern pised from its infancy; it turned out to be nothing but a special kind of ^ grass. The members of the Freshmen, Tertia and Quarta classes are all working hard on their debates. Such lofty subjects as woman’s 91

ability compared to man’s, restricted immigration, and Socialism have occupied our minds lately. Eugenia Meyer made a trip to South Dakota recently. She has many interesting things to tell us about the trip. Amoiig those who were seen at Appleton, when the College Musical Organizations gave a concert there, were: Myrtle Paap, Ruth Bruesehoff, Arline Schumann, Elenor Stern, Margaret Stern, Myrna Albrecht, Helene Naumann and Bernice Kieck. Alice Bentzin spent a week-end in Milwaukee visiting relatives and friends. This whole year of studying proved too much for our Sexta girls. They need a rest; consequently they have planned to go to a lake for a week immediately after school closes. Gertrude Naumann has been asked to be chaperon for this party. Glenna Rasmussen and Gertrude Koehn also planned a camp­ ing trip for the summer vacation. Lou Etta Schroeter spent May 30 and 31 at her home in Menomonie, Wis. Free Taxi Service! Helene Naumann just got her driver’s license this week. Erna Petig, Ruth BrueseholT, Lillian Trap]), Gertrude Koehn, and Myrna Albrecht attended the picnic at Juneau, May 31. We take this opportunity of extending best wishes to those who graduate this year, and we li9pe to see the girls well represented again next fall.

Number 4

Entered at the Postoflice at Watertown, as second class matter under Act of March 3. 1879. Published monthly. Subscription, One Dollar.

LAKE OF THE HILL OF DEATH Many of us have undoubtedly had narrow escapes from death. The predicaments we get into are often brought about by our own foolhardiness. An Indian summer day early in the fall of 1925 will always be memorable to me because of an escape of this nature. … Did you ever hear of Butte des Morts ? It is a small village in the lake region. Butte des Morts means the Hill of Death. It sounds rather grim and foreboaing. .h Early in fall in 1925 we were camped directly across the lake from the little village of Butte des Morts. After se days of camping and fishing we began to look for som® \ ment. The neighboring cottages didn t attract us . living in a private section and everything was rather staia, much so for us, in fact. We had summer appetites ,, we were running out of food some one suggested that it w be quite simple to row across the lake to the village o des Morts and there obtain provisions. Ray and I were g to go and volunteered. We started across the lake with the wind in our faces, As we were rowing a rowboat, we could watch our cottage 96

and the shore slowly fade. The waves didn’t seem very threaten­ ing. The followed the boat and gave it more speed than ordi­ nary rowing： could have done, and so I had an easy time rowing the four miles across the lake. After docking- our boat we walked down the Main street, which was also the side streets, since the town had only one 'street. We got our provisions and bragged to innocent looking tourists about all the fish we had caught. After an hour or so we decided to start back. The provisions were quickly stowed in a box in the front of the boat and we looked around to see what the waves were like. One look at these was sufficient. Ray agreed that an hour’s wait might bring a shift of wind or a lessening in the gale, which was kicking up the white-caps. The lake had changed from a clear blue to a dull gray and looked rather ugly. It was half past three before we could gather enough courage to start. Ray tried desperately to row alone, but soon suggested that we both row. Have you ever tried rowing1 on rough water ? It isn’t anything like a picnic. We soon found that our strokes did not tell much because we were rowing" too erratically. As we had only one set of oars, each of us pulled one oar. After quite a bit of trying we managed to swing the oars a little more in unison. An hour later we were about a mile out and getting1 more scared every minute. Ray asked me if I could swim and when I stopped rowing to answer a hug-e wave left us an inch of water as a souvenir. I told Ray that I couldn’t swim an inch. He said rather cheerfully that he couldn’t do much better, but if the boat were to go over the easiest thing' would be to hang on. The waves kept getting- larger all the time. When we had started they were about a foot and a half high, now the smallest were two and a half feet high and row-boats roll easily. All of a sudden Ray yelled, “Jump to the real，I dove into the rear as if I were really going somewhere in a hurry. When we were able to see we noticed we had three inches of water in the boat. We straightened the boat out and kept on rowing. I looked at Ray and he looked as sick as I felt. We rowed, and rowed, and rowed for what seemed to be a year. The boat was rather heavy with all the water we had shipped, and we had nothing in the boat with which to bail. We had to make the best of it. The next time I looked round to see if our cottage and the shore were getting any closer I noticed that the cottage could be distinguished from the dark background. 。 Another half hour of rowing put us into comparatively quiet water. After we had landed and rested for a minute we found that it was seven-thirty. We had made the trip over in .fortyfive minutes and the return trip in four hours. I shi vered whenever I saw a wave for the next three days. The next time 97

I cross a lake it will be in a motor boat. More than once on that tri]) across I thought about the name of the lake, Lake of the Hill of Death. I’m not superstitious, but that name got on my nerves —Lake of the Hill of Death. E. W. Kaspar. WESTWARD HO! Hal said, “Let’s hike home this afternoon and I said, "Sure, but we’ll have to get started immediately/1 Thus cas­ ually did we undertake the journey, not a big one now, but nevertheless quite an undertaking for us, for ‘‘home meant one hundred and sixty-two miles of hiking, and it was already earlv on a Saturday afternoon when we decided upon the trip. The hitch-hikei^s main (lifliculty is to get through the towns, for it is practically impossible to catch a ride in a town. We had little difficulty in getting： out of Watertown, for one of ^ our acquaintances offered to take us to the outskirts; and we were off. road last Saturday when I was hiking to %l'vai^e;，and th cop might decide to take us in if we get caught toaay.

more than triple that of our former ride, for we were soon going seventy miles per hour. I am naturally a nervous back-seat driver, and it was with difficulty that I restrained myself and suppressed exclamations of advice, especially when the car did not slow up in the least for curves. By the time we had passed Columbus, I was convinced that we were riding with a lunatic driver, and I was not surprised at Hal when he suddenly said, ‘‘At the next crossroad is where we leave the highway.7* The car kept on traveling at the same high speed until we were directly at the crossroads, when the brakes were applied with a suddeness that set us gasping and the brakes screaming. As we were getting out of the car the driver turned around and said, “Have jusht a little drink on me before yoush go.” Perhaps it was our refusal that gave us bad luck, for we certainly had plenty of it. Even after we started hailing, the cars did not stop, and all we received was derisive waves and invitations, or decisive refusals. Our spirits sank lower and at four we were ready to give up. Shall w.e turn back V1 I asked. 44And if we do, will we get a ride?’: said Hal. 4'Portage is the nearest town, and if we get there, we can still hook a freight back to Watertown tonight.” We chose Portage as our goal, and set out for it with deter­ mined steps. As we rounded a curve we saw a grain wa^on slowly going toward Portage. “There’s our ride,” said Hal. We both laughed as we lengthened our steps to catch up with the wagon. At this moment a car came up and stopped, and to our surprise we were asked if we wanted a ride. The car had a nameplate “Columbus” on it, but we thought that it would surely take us to Portage and to the freight yards. So we • hopped in. “How far are you going ?” He seemed sober, so I said, * ‘To La Crosse. ’ ’ “I’m sorry that I can’t take you that far. Do you go to school"there ?” “No, I live there. We go to school at Northwestern.’’ 4<Northwestern m Chicago V7 I said with dignity, “Northwestern University is in Evanston, a suburb of Chicago. ” He said, pointing at the letter I was wearing; “How did you get the ‘N’？” “That’s for footballI said proudly. He said very respectfully, “Northwestern won the conference championship last year, didn’t it? What is your name?” I told him. He looked at me rather sharply and suddenly burst out, “I thought I recognized you. Your father is Rev...... t (

TENNIS AT NORTHWESTERN Of course we were all glad to see that in addition to the concrete court installed here last fall, a Kyrock court was com­ pleted this summer. This gives us two courts that are in condition to be played on most of the time. We now have these courts that we have been trying to get for the last three or four years, but the interest shown in them is not as overwhelming an appreciation of them as it should be. Tennis may easily become a leading sport at Northwestern, for we have many promising players. There was once a much larger interest shown in tennis. It was played to such an extent that three courts were necessary in 1925. In 1926 only two courts were kept up, but were in con­ stant use in dry weather, the courts being clay courts. In the spring of 1927 it was decided that tennis should become an in­ tercollegiate sport. This however only lasted for one meet. That was the W-I Conference Field Meet, May 20-21, 1927. Here Northwestern bowed to Lake Forest who remained unde­ feated, but defeated Ripon on the second day of the meet. Although we were represented by men that could play tennis, 101

rain had limited their practice and kept them in bad form. On account of the graduation of some of the best players, tennis again became intermural. Could we not stage a comeback? This would not be such a difficult task. There are many players who would show com­ petition to stars of the other colleges if they might gain more experience. This would not only be one exceptional team as tlie last one proved to be, but we would have players that would work for a purpose. Whenever players work for a purpose they are more careful than if they play merely because it is one of their whims or just a j^ame they at some time or other took a liking： to. Then more accurate players would be developed. Can’t we work this backwards? At least it is something to try. Let’s get out there and learn tennis and perhaps we will later be able to enter competition. . . What aim has tennis now? It has no definite aim, but is a form of exercise. That aim is not at all negligiable. Tennis affords a form of exercise which not only provides one with exercise at college, wlicre one gets more than at any other time of life, but also when one becomes older, it can be played with­ out too great a strain on the body.

(X—

—On June 6 the last of the three greatest theologians of our Synodical Conference, Dr. Francis Pieper, ’72，president of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo” was laid to rest. Through the dogmatical presentation of the Doctors Walther, Hoenecke, and Pieper we have a clearer understanding of the Gospel and through their work at the seminaries the great majority of our pastors have received their spirit of “sola gratia, sola Sriptura, and sola fide’’. Dr. Pieper went to his eternal rest on June 3. On the day of burial the mortal remains were transferee! to Holy Cross Church after a brief service at home. Burial took place in the Immanuel Cemetery. Dr. Pieper was a member of the first class that was gradu­ ated from Northwestern College. Prof. August Pieper, *76, of Thiensville, Wis” is a brother of the deceased. During the last school year a mission station was established at Thiensville, Wisconsin. Services are being held in the chapel of the Seminary building for the present. A church building for this mission is, however, well under way. . The comer stone was laid on August 23. The pastors Arnold Schultz, ’02 and Arthur Voss, both of Milwaukee, preached at this occasion. In June a temporary call to serve at this mission during the sum­ mer months was extended to the Reverend Sieghard Westen、dorf, ’28. But since no experienced man was available, a pei*manent call was extended to Reverend Westendorf, which he has accepted. —We glean the following from “The Watertown Times” of June 6, 1931:— “Few people who sat in the Northwestern College auditorium Friday night and watched the performance of George Bernard Shawls play Pygmalion, knew that the director of the play, Professor Elmer Kiessling, was carrying on under the sorrow over the death of his father, John N. Kiessling, who died at Jefferson and whose funeral \vas held today. Professor Kiessling had spent weeks in preparation for the play and had given many hours to the coaching of the players and carried on to see it brought to its final conclusion.” Professor Kiessling is a member of the class of ’1?. The Reverend Otto Kuhlo'v，’99，of Jefferson officiated at this funeral. 104

—The Reverend Adalbert 'Vestendoi.f，’1G，who taught at Northwestern last year, has accepted a call to the ministry. He is now serving at Bay City, Michigan. —On August 18 the wife of the Reverend Professor Edwin Buerger, *01, teacher at the Milwaukee Lutheran Iligli School, was killed in an auto accident. The funeral was held on August 22. —The Reverend Werner Franzmann, '25, of Coloma, Michi­ gan, was happily married to Miss Naomi Mayer, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, on August 12, 1931. 一Hugo List, ’29, Arnold Gatz and Elmer Kocliler, *30, Martin Dornfeld, Robert Meyer, and Rudolf Otto, ox J：\2, have joined the first class at our Theological Seminury at. Thiensville this fall. Hugo List studied at the University of Wisconsin for one year after he was graduated from Northwestern. Arnold Gatz and Elmer Koeler, to our knowledge, toolv a yeiu^s vacation at their respective homes. Martin Dornield is said to have good reasons for his great hurry to finish his course in tlieolojry. He studied during the summer and passed a special examination at the Seminary this fall. Robert Meyer and Rudolf Otto also “got ahead，’of their classmates in a more roundabout way. however. Robert Meyer completed his junior college course at Concordia, St. Paul, Minnesota, and Riuiolf Otto attended Con­ cordia College at Milwaukee. farewell — The Reverend Henry Geiger, ^7, delivered sermon to his former charge at Randolph, Wisconsin, on July 26: He was installed at Zion’s Lutheran Church of Leeds, Wisconsin, on August 2 by the late Reverend G. Stern, who was assisted by the Reverend Walter Kleinke，’2i, inspector at Northwestern College, and by the Reverend 0. H. Koch of Columbus, Wisconsin. —Miss Alice Bentzin, who took a special course at North. western, is teaching a parochial school at Cleveland, Ohio, this year. She has charge of the first four grades consisting of thirty-four pupils. —Dr. Wm. F. Notz, ’97，Dean School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington, D.

After a dry but, in most other respects, pleasant summer vacation we are here ap：ain to bring you some of the latest news —too late to get into the June issue of the Black and Keel. Those grnduates and friends of our college who wei'e nere on the niglit of June 5 to witness the staging of George Bernard Shawls Pygmalion by the Northwestern Players under the clirection of Prof. Elmer C. Kiessling undoubtedly will agree that their evening was well spent. - . ,i Pygmalion, the name of the play, Sha'y took from an old legend because of the similarity between his main crmracter in this play and the Pygmalion of old. The original Pygmalion was an ancient king who carved out of stone a statue so beauti­ ful that he fell in love with it. When the gods in answer to nis pravers changed the statue into a woman, he marnecl her. •The following： is a brief summary of the play, in whicn Shaw, as it seems, wants to point out that one cannot experi­ ment with human beings as with guinea pigs ancl alter tne experiment throw them overboard. f The Pygmalion of Sha'v’s play is Higgins, a professor ot phonetics in London. The professor’s chief delight is m listen­ ing to dialects, jotting them down, and cataloguing them tor dictionaries and the like. As that does not bring much money, he has a side line of teaching American airesses how to speak fine English, so that they need not be ashamed of their American dialect when they are presented to the queen. .. One evening, after the theatre, when Higgins, with many others, is forced by a sudden squall of rain to take refuge unclei across a vulgar nower-i theporch• of‘ St Paul’s cathedral； he runs .. _，r gii’I with an unusually terrible accent. He boasts to a newly found 108

friend that he could pass the girl off as duchess before the king in six months by his method. The friend eventually dares him to make good and promises to pay all expenses if he succeeds. After many adventures this modern Pygmalion does succeed in changing the vulgar guttersnipe into a duchess. But he (!oes not, as did his ancient predecessor, fall in love with his creation. In the end, however, there is all reason to believe that the problem of what is to become of the girl will be solved in a way that will be satisfactory to everybody. The characters and the cast in order of their appearance: .…Gladys llallett Grace Meyers Hilbert Siegler Kenneth Vertz Lou Etta Schroeter Oscar Naumann Edward Krueger John Dahlke Adolph Bucnger Paul Ben tort Bystanders Ford. Weyland Harold Wicke .101 mcr Gentz Taxi Driver............................ Betty Faber Mrs. Pearce, Higgins* housekeeper Knvin Froehlich Alfred Doolittle, Eliza’s father, a streetsweeper Alice Bentzin Mrs. Higgins, Higgins, mother 'Vivian Pearsall Parlormaid..... ...................................... ........

Clara Eysford Hill---------- ------------Mrs. Eynsford Hill, her mother____ First Bystander.................. ..................... Freddy Eynsford Hill, Clara's brother__ .. Eliza Doolittle, the vulgar flowergirl -Col. Pickering.............................................. Pygmalion Higgins, the professor of phonetics Sarcastic Bystander.............................

Of the three main roles the one played by Lou Etta Schroeter was by far the best performed. ，*A_h-ah-ah-ow-o'v-ow-oo!’’ This strange sound of hers, and her oft repeated assertion. “Qi’m a good gal, Oi am!” will doubtlessly jump up in our minds every time we think of Liza Doolittle, the flowergirl. The other two chief parts were taken admirably well by Edward Krueger and Oscar Naumann. They had two difficult parts to perform and, together with Miss Schroeters, their roles formed the greater shave oi the play. The way in which they acted their parts, however, in several places gave one the in}pression that they were men in their twenties, whereas their former achievements presupposed them to be men of more advanced age. The one had been a colonel in India; the other had become famous for his research work as professor of the English language. Nevertheless, despite this little flaw they deserve much of the credit for the success of the play. Next in importance were the roles played by Betty Faber, Erwin Froehlich, and Alice Bentzin. Their parts were consider­ ably shorter but equally well rendered. Miss Faber was all one 109

could expect in her interpretation of Mrs. Pearce, Higgins’ housekeeper. And Miss Bentzin as Higgins’ mother lived up to her reputation which she had achieved through her successes in former plays. As for Mr. Froehlich! - well, whoever didn’t have to laugh at him or at what he had to say, had better see a doctor. Or was it possibly because Mr. Froehlich was rather hard to understand ? It is too bad that this one defect had to spoil to some extent for some people his otherwise superb acting. The rest of the roles were minor parts, blit all of course helped to complete the play. All in all, the play was a success; and added another to the increasing number oi' laurels held by Prof. Kiessling as coach of plays. It \\ras a triumph for the coach and his players. But we must not forget anolhor Ki'oiip of people who did their share to “put this play across.'J It was the so-called stage commit­ tee. These boys put in their time to “fix up” a fairly present­ able stage and to build and provide the equipment which made the changes of scenery ])ossible for the different acts. And for this job they were seriously handicapped. Many objects had to be home-made; and the committee to economize at every turn. For they by no means had unlimited funds to draw from. Many seemingly insurmountable dilliculties presented themselves; but \vith untiring eft'orts tliese boys finally solved the problems satisfactorily. If you don’t believe this account, ask any one of them; and I am sure they’ll be able to tell you more, Those who shouldered these duties were 0. Engel, H. Baumann, V. Schultz, Wm. Fischer, R. Kaschinske, 0. Heier, II. Resting, P. Heyn, and C. Trapp. Though they deserve more, all we can offer them is many thanks. Also to our publicity manager for this play, H. Warlike, our two literary societies are indebted. It seems, this annual play takes up too much time both for those taking- part in it directly and for those in some other way connected with it, as for instance the stage committee members. The results obtained do not warrant the expending of so much time. Something ought to be done about it. As the Black and Red has already suggested before, a peij manent stage ought to be erected. The amount of money which is spent every year on temporary stages would in a very few years amount to a sum sufficient for erecting a permanent one. Such a stage would relieve the stage committee of much work and not demand of them such an exorbitant amount of time. Of course, such an improvement would not only be of benefit for the litei*ary societies but for the college as a whole. It could be made excellent use of for musical programs or for any other stage engagement that might be booked by the college. This is a suggestion to relieve the stage committee. But the 110

1 cast must be taken care of also in regard to their time. As it is not the main aim of this school to make actors and actresses out of its students, it does not seem right that the players should be made to devote the g'reater share of the last month or so of school to acting. Would it not be possible to find a play that would divide the work more evenly among a greater number of students? Or couldn’t a shorter play be pre­ sented? or possibly two short ones? Or couldn’t the work on these plays be started earlier in the school year and be spread over a longer period of time? After enjoying another successful year, the band brought its schedule of out-of-town engagements to a close on Sunday, June 7, at Brownsville. Here they furnished the music at the school picnic of St. Paul’s Ev, Lutheran Church, Rev. Philip Martin, pastor. Damp and extremely cool weather somewhat spoiled the day. But it could not prevent the boys from taking with them some pleasant thoughts of some wonderful people. The annual graduation concert was given by our musical organizations in the evening of June 15. Although unfavorable weather kept a number of people away, the house was quite well filled at that. At this concert the celebrated quartette made its last appearance as an organization at Northwestern. The program : R. Schlepegrell 1. Bridal Party, Overture........ ... .........H.

Even though the weather man does not seem to agree, yet it is September, and therefore the time to write the first Ex­ change column for this year. Since there are only a few papei*s on hand, we ask the reader to excuse the small number of references. It is a pleasure to let our gaze zigzag through the abundance of items and pictures in the June number of The Concordia Comet. It seems as though someone showered them into the blank pages. By casting only a quick glance at them you would, as we do, desire a “Souvenir Number” for Northwestern once a year. It is not necessary to expand on the various attractions of such a number, one that we would cherish long after most of them will have faded from our memory. In the June 9. issue of the Academy News we enjoy a review of the book, “New Russia’s Primer”. It is hard to resist the temptation to eat the book after nibbling of its contents. We should carefully consider the matter ; and if anyone thinks it a good idea, or a poor one, he should voice his opinion in his school paper. In an editorial of the same publication, in which the general progress of Morgan Park Military Academy is briefly discussed, one sentence for the student’s attention, especially for the sub­ ject of general education, is the following:44 More attention has been paid to having the pupil take the studies which he is most fitted for, rather than making him take a certain number of specified subjects.” 113

It seems proper and fitting that we welcome our newly born Preparatory paper, the Shrdlu. We congratulate those who have made such an excellent beginning, and hope it pres­ ages a ride on the road to greater success. From the editorial, “Commencement,” in the June number of that well written paper, College Chips, we quote a few lines for the student’s contemplation: “Luther College, the pioneer college of our church, has for seventy years been serving God and state by training young men in a Christian way. That the institution has enjoyed such a long life and has continued to take on a newer and stronger life is the best evidence of its success in actually fulfilling the aims which it professes to have”.

FOOTBALL Not much has been heard of Northwestern College’s foot­ ball teams in the past few years, but according to all indications we should expect a rather successful season this year. At present the squad is working hard in preparation for the 1931 season which opens Saturday, September 19, with the Lutheran Seminary of Thiensville as the opponents. The first week was spent in light drills, primarily to condition the individual The second week included a program of signal practise and heavier scrimmages. A squad of thirty-two enthusiasts reported to Coach Kleinke and Capt. Buenger on September 10. Of this group six are letter men. They are Capt. Buenger, Kenosha; E. Schewe, Milwaukee; R. Siegler, Bangor; R. Lemke, Watertown ; A. Reuschel; and H. Resting, Hadar, Nebr. Buenger distin­ guished himself as a capable fullback last year, and it seems that he will fill this position again this year. E. Schewe will undoubtedly call signals and hurl passes for the Black and Reds. R. Lemke and R. Siegler are back at the ends, the positions they so capably filled last year. Resting will play either a guard or tackle position. Reuschel will again play halfback. With these as the back bone, Coach Kleinke must choose the rest of the team from the list of promising athletes at hand. Fredericks, who last year starred with the “Preps,” is living up to what was expected of him. He plays with all the 115

confidence in the world, and uses the fine points of the game as a professional. He blocks, runs, side steps, pivots, dodges, and uses the stiff arm. We feel sure that the change from prep to college competition will not be too great for him. Other men who came from the ‘‘prep’’ team are Schroeder, center; and Thierfelder, guard. With these and the other hustling athletes, there is ample material at our command for developing an aggregation capable of finishing with at least fair success. The back field looks strong, experienced, and alert. The line is light, but this disadvantage can be overcome by speed and alertness. One very pleasing feature of the squad is the splendid spirit they are showing during the daily practice peri­ ods. ^ This alone is already a seal of sportmanship and physical efficiency.

With this number begins another school year at Northwestern. The enrollment this year tatals ^07, of whom 40 are new students; last year’s enrollment was with 60 new students. Heavy losses are noticeable especiraiy in the ranks of the musical organizations. There seems io Le no great lr.ck of new material, but it will be some time before this material can be brought to the level of the standard set last year. The organizations are beginning practice and rehearsals rather slowly, for to date there are no engagements to be filled this fall. Then, too, the organizations are working under an almost entirely new and inexperienced staff of officers and this also must necessarily retard their progress. Probably the first thing that struck our eyes as we ap­ proached the campus this fall was the new coat of paint on the park benches of the Vesuvius club. At the back door of the dormitory we were greeted by a shower of shingles from the roof of the east end of the old dormitory, which at that oppor­ tune time was receiving a new covering of asbestos shingles. The debris has been removed by this time with the exception of stray nails, which may eventually be picked up by passing auto­ mobile tires. This year a new system is being tried at Northwestern, the separation or partial separation of the Preps from the Collegiates. In the dormitory the Preps reign supreme on third floor, whereas the Collegiates and some few Preps occupy the other two floors. After the novelty of the thing has worn off, the Preps, and especially the Tertianers, are fcegir.nirg to realize that their privileges are not so extensive as they at first supposed. Although the Tertianers are now monitors, their 117

authority is nevertheless greatly limited, amounting to little more than their personal power and strength. In the dininghall the same system prevails and the southernmost section is reserved for the Collegiates. The idea underlying this new arrangement seems to be to put more responsibility on the individual student. Whether the new system will be a success or not, depends largely on the cooperation of the students; the results remain to be seen. Luther Schliesser managed to return several days late; we were quite surprised, however, to find Zimpelmann back on time this year. At the time of this writing1 Radloff is still missing. According to reports, his absence is clue to rather serious injuries suffered while working in a logging camp. Roy Stuhr is continuing his studies at Winona State Teacher's College. Hence Al. Maas has found it possible to spend an occasional week-end in Watertown. At this time many a Freshman is seen engaged in the art of wood carving; for the smoking-room initiations are at hand and it is with eager expectation that we, the club members, together with the prospective Freshman members are looking forward to the first initiation, on September 19. Since Rock River has run dry or nearly so, a number of enthusiastic swimmers have sought suitable waters elsewhere. Thurow, Hagedorn, Groth, and Barthels motored to Sandy Beach at Lake Mills. Harke, Liesener, and Buch enjoyed a dip in Lac La Belle, at Oconomowoc. # A second tennis court has been completed during the summer. This new court is covered with asphalt instead of concrete. The addition of the second court was quite necessary to avoid the crowded conditions of last year; it should therefore tend to awaken a new and greater interest in this sport among the students. Tutor Kleinke’s acquisition of a larger car has necessitated proportional increase in garage space. Accordingly an extention of several feet has been "added to the north end of the original structure. Thus far football has caused no serious injuries among the players. Norb Ehlert has the distinction, however, of being first football player to resort to a cane this season; he suf­ fered a minor disablement of the ankle during the first week of practice. The flies are a terrible menace at school this year.^ Theie is nothing whatsoever to prevent then iiQe P ă€?idea room or dormitory. Of course Geiger finally hit not of using sticky fly-paper to only succeeded in attracting flies; the pap^r Bussewitz likewise, and with rather disastrous results. 118

The college has purchased 200 new chairs for use in the gymnasium. These new chairs are of a much more modern design than the older ones and are more durable. With proper care in handling they should answer our needs for some time.

QI0-Jh The school year again finds us as a part of that assemblage known as students of Northwestern College. Although our tribe has decreased we still number thirty-six. The new students of our department are: Louise Burns, Eleanor Coogan, Dorothy Dieter, LK)rna Hutson, Fanny Katsfuros, Marie Michaelis, Clara Scheblack, Evelyn Schlessner, and Vera S tube of the Collegiate Department, and Lorraine Asmus, Irma Engel, and Ruth Fredrich of the Prep Department Many of our Co-eds did not return this year. An interview as to their whereabouts brought these results: Alice Bentzin—Teaching at Cleveland, Ohio. Ruth Bruesehoff - Student at Normal, Mayville. Gladys Hallet~At Home. Julia Knispel—Working. Gertrude Koehn—At Home. Ethel Kopp—Student at Carrol College, Waukesha. Lillian Lutovsky—Student at Mount Mary College, Milwaukee. Eugenia Meyer—Student at the University of Wisconsin.

“So you want to marry my daughter. My answer depends entirely on your financial position.” 4 *What a coincidence! My financial position depends entirely on your answer.” Some tourists out in the desert were endeavoring to keep from being steam-baked by hiding in the shade of a few cacti when they noticed a cloud which gave promise of a few drops of rain. They addressed one of the natives: “I suppose you’d welcoome a rainstorm down here.” “Yes” ，drawled the old timer, ‘Tm not thinking of myself so much. It’s t boys.

BEARS IN YELLOWSTONE PARK In a small town on the Snake River in eastern Idaho a family of tourists were enjoying their evening meal. The day, to judge by appearance, had not been without its difficulties. The car might have been any color under that thick coating of dust which adhered even to the once sleek sides. The flat sur­ faces had a layer measuring an inch and a half in spots. The people themselves had the appearance of having been out in the sun too long; oh, yes, they spoke coherently, but they seemed withered,—droopy, to say the least,—like the geraniums after you’ve been gone two weeks or like a deflated football bladder. Despite the worn exterior there was a sort of happy exhila­ ration about them, a spirit of something attempted, something done, of a goal being in sight, and that such was the case one could easily see from their happjr, carefree talk at the supper table. “Well，” gulped the elder member, industriously runn­ ing a bean to ground with a twotined fork, “six and onehalf more gallons and we’er there.” “Yep,” agreed the junior member: From which observations it is easily guessed where these 123

I tourists are from. Had he said “yup” or even “yop” one would have looked for something Southern, “yip” would have put them down as western, but ‘.yep,” with the y drawn out set them down as farther east, perhaps Illinois or Wisconsin. The evening meal was practically finished when a tourist from a neighboring tent drifted in for a postprandial chat. That sort of thing is common and no harm ordinarily comes of it, but let it happen between a tourist just leaving the Park and one entering, and only evil can come of it. That is undoubtedly the great danger with which the tour­ ist to the Yellowstone must contend,—the tousist on the road back and his bear stories. There is no safe approach. You may circle a while and then dart in, you may make a noble dash for it, or you may sneak up from behind but you’ll never escape the outcoming tourist and his bear stories. One might possibly sneak in at night, but next morning someone on the point of leaving would wake you at daylight and ladle out bear stories on you. The only safe procedure is to study up on bear stories before you come, sit up late at night and think up stories and have ’em ready to spill on the first person you meet who seems to have that “One night while we were in Yellowstone Park^ look about him. Or if your brain doesn’t work well at night, have a few rocks handy and when somebody comes along with a bear story, bean him and run. These particular tourists, however, had not had anyone to warn them, so they fell an easy prey to the wiles of the beary one. When the stranger had finally left they were in a state of mental turmoil. Should they go on?—they might circle around through Montana—“Surely,” they pondered, “Montana with all its mud couldn’t be any worse than the Park with its bears. ’’ But then came the damning thought,—“the neighbors! What would the neighbors say?”一those neighbors, who had gathered around to see them off, giving them addresses of friends or relatives they should be sure to stop in and see— What would those neighbors say when they clamored breath­ lessly for stories of the Yellowstone and all they could say would be a weak “We - er •- didn’t stop. You see, the bears一’’ The thought was sickening. They decided finally that it was better to be chewed up by bears than to live in unending dis­ grace at home. Next morning they took the road to the Park with about the same feeling Leonidas and his Spartans had at Thermopylae, or the feeling a student has on his way to the dorm at the wee hours knowing that that gag about blowing out a gasket hadn’t worked. The way was farther than they had expected, and it was late afternoon when the ranger at the gate allowed them to 124

enter, after ascertaining to his own satisfaction that there was no arsenal, menagerie, or shady character on board. When night approached they were still in the Park and no chance of getting out before nightfall, so they decided to camp and hope for the best. They selected a place as near as possible to the other tents without arousing the ire of the other tourists. No sooner had they begun to unpack, however, when people gathered around from all sides, each blabbing bear stories. The bears, it appeared, were peaceloving souls at heart and would not harm anyone under ordinary circumstances, but just wave a hunk of bacon or a gumdrop around and the bears would go crazy in their dash for it. Bears, according to the relaters, though they relished nearly everything a tourist brought along, would not become insistent until you tried to keep bacon 01，candy from them. Food of that nature was dangerous left in cars. A bear would claw his way through the top of any car for a bacon rind or hook his claw under the axle and smash the car against a tree just to get at a chocolate eclair that had dropped under the hind seat. That night when the new tourists turned in, more from force , ,of habit than from . any.thought of trying to sleep, they pi?cgt everything with any oder of bacon or sweets about it on a table some distance from the tent, where the bears in their Seepe ^ ^ would not accidentally disembowel one of the rs or perhaps unconsciously tap him on the head him tl through the air for fifteen yards or so,—rather common occurrances, according to the tellers. . Next morning the tourists found to their surprise that they were still alive. Not only that, they had not a single mark on them where some wandering bear had stepped on them orv clawed them in his ceaseless hunt for bacon or sweets. ^ remembered furthermore that not once had they heard an & ^ grrrrowl or inquisitive “woof” during the long periods i they*d lain awake, ready to make a dash for it, ol'at their lives dearly. In fact, so had their spirits been el that they decided to stay a while after all,—at least longe g to semd post-cards t。SiVrieig^s a^H。buy a few folders so that they ，d know all about it when they got bacK. in the Park. Theeday drew to a close and they wer® still . themselves. During the day they saw a few of the crea busses, The first one they saw was in front of a ^oteJ: ^ straight which dated back to the days 9! brass Th passengers fenders, was parked along the side of the road.p^shad had clambered out to goggle at something. 0 ，en a bear stopped to see what the others had stopped to s , lumbered out of the woods. “Lumbered” is the wen a usually use; anyhow, it was a sort of shuffle which didn’t seem 125

difficult at all. All you did was to get down on all four, let your head sag fore and your hindquarters droop aft, walk stiff-legged except for your wrists, and there you were,—easy, nothing peculiarly bear-like about it. Anyone could do it. Reading from in front you would begin with the nose. This particular bear’s nose, besides being dirty was twitching nervously, for there was the smell of sugar in it. "Fee, fi, fo. fum，’’ it seemed to say，“I smell taffy.’’ The eyes bore out the idea of bloodthirstiness. They were fierce, beady eyes. They seem to say that bears are stern, bears are earnest and are not to be stopped when after their sugar diet. But when you found out that they only seemed so because they are nearsighted you no longer cringed before them but faced the matter sternly and said, “Mr. Bear, 1 have no candy or bacon for you; scat!” And Mr. Bear would scat with nothing more than a pleading whine,- nothing insistent about him, no backbone to speak of. When he turns away you can’t help noticing his pudgy sides. His back is lean but slopes off in every direction, giving more the impression of disused muscles than of stri ngy ones, You can see he isn’t in the best of form. Too many rolls in his stomach.—He looks dissipated. You’re losing- your respect, and when he finally gives you a view of his hindquarters you ?an’t help laughing. He looks like a man in fleece-lined woolies about four sizes too big, stooping over to pick up a collar-button. The tourists drove away with a feeling which bordered on bonhomie among them. As the day drew on and they saw more of the genus ursus in various attitudes of begging for candy or deeply engrossed in garbage cans, their spirits returne d and by nightfall the bear stories of their fellow campers caused them about as much worry as the barking of a Peke causes a Collie. That night they slept like logs (to use a new expression) despite the fact that bears were knocking over garbage cans on all sides of them. The next evening they went out of their way and postponed supper just to hear a ranger tell bear stories. They discovered there the source of all the bear stories that are circulating around the Park. ******************** (denotes passage of time) It grieves me to write this final chapter in the life of our heroes, but as Eduard Meyer, another famous historian, says in his Die Wirtschaftliche Entwickelung des Altertums, (which appeared first in True Story under the title, ‘‘Flaming Passion), ‘Man muss ja alles sagen.” The final episode takes place some days later at a filling 126

station in a small Wyoming town perhaps a half-day’s travel east of Yellowstone Park. Two cars pull into the station. The one coming from the east is covered with dust. The people though tired and worn are visibly in high spirits. The other car, coming from the west, is likewise covered with dust. The passengers are carefree and rested but in their eyes smolders a strange gleam. “Hi!” yell the members of the first car. “Hi!” answer the others. “Been in the Park?” “Yep!” 4'What about the bears?” “Oh, nothing to worry about. Peaceful as a rule, but if there happens to be the odor of bacon or candy about your car they’ll stop at nothing to get in.— .. . **Er-ah - will they - that is, - can they get in if you lock it?” “Oh, sure, they’ll either rip off the top to get in or they’ll hook their claw under the axle and smash the car against a tree. They’ll do anything for bacon or candy. Why, one night while we were in Yellowstone—’’ A. Bolle. A PAGE OF MY DIARY. Wednesday. April 1st, 1931. Today we toured the city of Washington. The guide pointed out such places of interest as the various embassies, President Hoover’s privately owned home, and many others. After \ve had seen the most interesting places in Washington, we were taken to Georgetown. Here we saw many quaint buildings dating back to the end of the eighteenth century A most striking thing in Georgetown is a street along which all the commissioned officers of the army who are married live on the right hand side of the roadway, and the unmarried officers on the other side. From Georgetown we went to Arlington Cemetery. In passing, Fort Myer was pointed out to us. In Arlington the graves of the better known heroes of the Revolutionary, Civil, Spanish-American, and World Wars were pointed out to us. A fact that I had never known is that the cemetery is divided according to the war. Each war has a section reserved for its dead. Needless to say, the World War had the largest section reserved. Unfortunately the grave of the unknown soldier was covered by a wooden framework because of some repairwork. * *And now, ladies and gentlemen,” said the guide as we were again on our way, “we are about to take you to Alex127

卜呶如a-妙:HU3 andria, Virginia, the town in which Washington spent most of his leisure time. There we shall see old Christ church, where Washington worshiped, and the Masonic Lodge. Here Wash­ ington served as Worshipful Master from the time of its organ­ ization to the time of his death. Here you will also find many relics which belonged to the Washington family.” Before we had arrived it had begun to rain rather hard. Some of the people in the bus were afraid of the rain, or rather for their new spring clothes, and did not get out of the bus. Christ Church is a small Episcopal church dating back to 1773. Here Washington and later Robert E. Lee worshiped. The pews rented by these two men are still in the church, and tourists are allowed to sit in them if they so choose. The origi­ nal chandalier and baptismal font are to be be seen, as is a Bible donated to the church by the adopted son of Washington, George Washington Curtis. After we had left the Church we were taken to the lodge hall, “Please do not stay more than forty-five minutes, ” warned the guide, ‘‘as we are over an hour late now.” _ Most of us got out and entered a narrow doorway leadingto a stairway, which led us to the second story and to the lodge room. The walls of the room were lined with cases containing everything from boots to a large chair. But let us allow the Guide to take us around, pointing out the most interesting: relics. “Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “the Masonic Lodge is proud to be the possessor of these relics, as it is also proud to have had the father of our country as its first Worshipful Master, and father. These relics have all belonged to the Wash­ ington family, and were given to the lodge by their descendants. You see those glasses in there. How often Washington and Franklin used to sit making merry, sometimes talking over the problems of the day while drinking the finest of wines out of those glasses! Yes, he always had a good supply of wine on hand. That candlestick in the corner there, stood on the table next to Washington’s bed at the moment of his death. Those boots were worn by him on his many tramps about his estate. Do you see that black glove ? You might say ‘What’s so inter­ esting about a black glove ?’ This is what is peculiar about that glove, and, I suppose, a fact known by very few of you. For one whole year after his mother’s death, even while he was in office, Washington wore that black glove on his left hand. Never was he seen without it, except after retiring at night “Here stands an exact reproduction of the clock, which stood, and which still stands, on the mantel piece in Washin ton’s bedchamber at Mount Vernon at the time of his deat

s：

128

The time indicated is the exact time in which he died. The attending physician, very thoughtfully, snapped the main spring of the clock in the chamber at the very moment of Washington’s death. He wished to preserve for the future the exact time in which our land lost its first president and father. “Now, if you will kindly step over to this large case—This chair, ladies and gentlemen, is the chair upon which Washing­ ton sat when he presided at the meetings of the lodge. You will notice that the high rounded back, the leather covered seat and armrests would not be called comfortable in this day and age. But it was one of the richest luxuries of that time. This chair was used until the leather became so tattered and torn, as you see it now, that it could no longer be used. It is, how­ ever, brought out once a year. Every time new officers are in­ stalled the Worshipful Master sits in this chair during the rites. That old and faded looking1 canopy which you see at the other end of the room is the canopy under which our first president sat. “This document, which you see in the wall safe above the chair, is the charter granted to this lodge at the time of its organization. You will notice that it bears the signature of Washington, Franklin, and other historical personages. “And now, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you our greatest and most highly valued possession. I ask only that no picture be taken of it. We have here a picture of the real Washington, not the ideal picture which is usually shown. This picture shows Washington as he really appeared at the age of sixty-four. You will notice that he has not the smooth, un­ wrinkled face, which you are accustomed to see. Washington _ also had worries, which left an imprint upon his forehead. He had four very pronounced lines running horizontally across his brow. His face was not very smooth. In his early youth Washington had a severe attack of small pox. This left many marks on his face, as you will see by the picture. Did you know that Washington had a large mole on his face ? Look just below his left ear. You can just see a part of it. Quite large, 'vasij’t it? .“We have been offered many thousends of dollars for this picture, but as long as this lodge exists, so help us our Creator, tnis picture shall not be taken from this lodge room. We have, however, allowed the United States Government to use a copy this picture on one of its stamps of greater denomination, in !ts issue of stamps commemorating the bicentennial of Wash­ ington^ birth. that, ladies and gentlemen----- ” Will the passengers of the Ferna Marie please step down to the bus. You have already been here an hour and a quarter, 129

and you must be getting back to the hotel, and off to the train，’’ broke in the driver. We scampered down and out into the rain, into the bus and were off for the hotel, not the least bit sorry that we had braved the rain to see these and many other historic relics. After a hurried dinner and a rapid drive down to the station, we bade a reluctant farewell to the Nation’s capital and prepared ourselves for the long trip home. H. Gieschen，’33.

KXCELSIOR! That the Black and Red is not the paper it shoul$ pe ojje will deny. It is not nearly as interesting at it might be. lo be in in­ sure, we can hardly expect it to equal or even approach __ terest the publications of many other schools, for we do not have many of the activities that fill out the lives of students in other colleges. Yet to a great extent it is nothing but our own fault. We can improve the Black and Red if we but will. Here is one plan which we have borrowed from another publication: A special department for the expression of student opinion on topics of general interest. We could give it the title, say, “Forum，” qr “Student Opinion.” The general plan of it could be on this order: A question concerning a certain subject is asked. Then below it are put the answers of perhaps a half dozen to a dozen students. A look at the “Curious Club” of the Augustana Ob­ server will give one a better conception of what it is like. It would not be necessary to add a special editor to conduct this column, in the event that another member for the staff is not desired. Any student could suggest a subject for discussion. 131

And the opinions, too, would be supplied by the students in general. Therefore it would entail little work for the staff. You can readily see that such a column would make the Black and Red a more interesting paper. But it would do far more, we venture to maintain. For one thing, it would foster, in some students at least, the habit of thinking. Most students are not likely of their own accord to seek subjects on which to ponder. But if subjects are thrown before them, they will be stimulated to fire their mental guns at them. And through this habit they will direct their fire at things in general. Moreover, such a column would encourage the student to write articles for the literary section. He might desire to en­ large upon an idea that could not be adequately discussed in the “Opinion” Department. Thus we would provide more material for the literary or editorial sections, material that is never in superabundance. Another excellent product of an “Opinion” column would be an enlarged horizon for our minds. One pitiable condition in most colleges is the narrow field of the student’s mental activi­ ties. He is like the baron of a castle who is not in the least concerned with anybody who dwells beyond his domain. Since the range of topics in the proposed department need not be limited, we could go forth from our castle to search far and wide for mental adventure. On Wednesday we could ride forth into the strange country to the south of us. And on Saturday — • we could brave the perils of the land far to the west. These, then, are the reasons for a new department for our school paper. But you have one objection. You protest that for many it would profit little, for they would give their ideas without previous contemplation. To some degree this would naturally result. But what of it? We hold that the objection is weak, and that it is far outbalanced by the good effects. Perhaps we have been too optimistic in our claims. But here we think is an opportunity to raise the standard of the Black and Red. Lefs consider it, fellow-students! It would be your column. Will you consider the idea; and if it is accepted, will you give it your support and thus elevate the Black and Red to a higher rank in the society of school publications? E. J. Knoll *33

I♦:鸣“妙知在1 A COLLEGIATE LOUNGE ROOM At present the collegiates of Northwestern have no lounging room. The advantages of such a room are so numerous, that it is indeed surprising that very little mention of, or agitation for one has been made. We now have two rooms, the reception room where we may entertain our visitors and the reading room where we have access to a number of daily papers and some magazines in ad­ dition to the reference books. The first room we may eliminate, because we may only enter there when we have visitors. The reading room may also be eliminated, because our object is to afford the student relaxation and a more congenial atmosphere, for which purpose the reading room is in nowise appropriate. One might call it a social room in which the students could enjoy one another's c()i川mny. Such a room would be fitted out with easy chairs, foldinjr tables, and a radio. At this point one who has knowledge of the dormitory might ask if this were not the purpose of the smokinjr room. No argument could convince such a person except that he be shown the smoking room and then asked how it woultl compare with the above mentioned congenial atmosphere. Moreover, not everyone belongs to the smokinjr club, and I believe many others would not if they had any other place in which they could enjoy themselves. Such a room would do much toward bringing1 the collegiate body to­ gether. At present we have little if any unity amongst the students forming the collegiate body. Now, when some relative or friend enters the building and asks for a student what is the procedure? He is left standing in „ a cold, bare hall while the person he has asked information from runs about the building shouting at the top of his voice for the student in question. If we had a lounge room the visitor could quietly be shown into this room where he could rest com­ fortably until the student he had asked for could be sent there. In conclusion I should like to say that such a room is not an entire impossibility. The expense of equipping it need not be too great since it could be equipped and then each year the stu­ dents who wish to have access to the room could pay nominal dues, with which the initial expense and the cost of upkeep could be met. Other schools have lounge rooms, and such as I have seen have not been considered a detriment to the school. A. Harke ’32

The students, new and old, of Northwestern College have by now fairly well settled down to the regular routine of college life. After a vacation it is always a matter of some time before everybody is used to school life again. But that time is now well behind us. And in the meantime the work has been laid on with ever increasing intensity. Besides daily class work there have been assigned book reports, poems to be memorized, oral compositions, collateral reading, and the like, together with an occasional review test. In addition to this class work, which is demanded from every one who wishes to be a student at this institution, also the work in the band, orchestra, and choruses, which is optional, is well under way. The mixed chorus should enjoy a successful season. Though, through graduation, it has lost some very capable singers, especially in the tenor section, this should not matter. For Mr. Kaspar, the president of this body, has enlisted a goodly num­ ber of recruits to fill the vacant ranks. Encouraging is the fact that most of the girls have joined. With a chorus that has a stronger female section than last year the director, Prof. A. Sitz, should have even better results. The male chorus has gro\vn considerably. From a member­ ship of about forty last year it has jumped to a membership of sixty this year. Prof. Bolle and his assistant, Pres. Buenger, have quite a well balanced chorus, except that the first tenor section is slightly weaker than the rest; it is this section that suffered the severest losses last June. Compositions of varying: nature are being practised to be sung for church services and for concerts both here at College as well as at those places where invitations call the chorus. 140

The work of the orchestra, directed by Prof. Hermann, is progressing satisfactorily. All the vacancies through gradua­ tion have been filled except the oboe chair and a cello chair. • The president, Mr. Schliesser, is trying hard to get more mem­ bers; he is striving for a “bigger and Better” orchestra. Mr. Dobratz, with the help of his veterans in the band, is working hard to fit the new material into its place. The band, of all the musical organizations, suffered the most through gra­ duation, but with a wealth of new material on hand Prof. Westerhaus, the faculty director, should in time be able to turn out an organization that will come close to the standard of last year’s band. Though the activity in these musical organizations is op­ tional, as mentioned above, yet every student, with few except­ ions, ought to be a member of one of these. If one has no appreciation for good music, an opportunity to arouse such an interest may be had in one of these organizations. The comparatively small student body of this year, the smal­ lest in thirteen years, makes the living- quarters in the dormito­ ry more agreeable; for the students are no longer overcrowded. This helps make possible the new system, separation of Preparatoiy and Collegiate departments, which, at first a novelty, riow is fast becoming a, welcome reality. It makes for better order and throws those of like age and class closer together. It is a step toward the complete separation of the two depart­ ments, which may happen on some future (lay. Since Mr. Dcrnfeld caused a vacancy on the Black and Red staff by not returning to college this fall, Mr. Arthur Harke was chosen to take his place. Much success to you as advertising manager, Mr. Harke. . Shrdlu, our sister-paper, has had a like experience. The Here it is as told by the news editor of that paper. 4<The Shrdlu has suffered a noticeable loss in the person of Martin Lutzke, who did not return this year. Because of this fact several changes have been made in the staff. Herbert Koehler now is business manager, 0. Siegler con­ ducts the athletic section, and to Bob Geweke fell the lot of supplying us with jokes.” At the Carroll football game, October 3, the band appeared, for the first time this year, in their black and red uniforms. Carroll had brought their forty-piece band along to inspire their players. They wore attractive orange and white capes. During the half both bands lined up on the gridiron to play “On Wis­ consin’’. Carroll’s band was led by a capable drum major, whereas the N. W. C. band did as well as possible without theirs, 141

who was doing his bit for Northwestern in black and red foot­ ball togs. On Friday, October 16, the band once more appeared in uniform. They joined with the rest of Watertown in the festivities of the dedication and opening of the new Main St. bridge: The Cole Memorial Bridge, named in honor of one of Watertown’s pioneers. Gov. Philip La Follette of Wisconsin was the principal speaker at the occasion. And again it is the season of the year when the initiation programs of the Vesuvius Club are held. Before the big event many a Freshman may be seen sitting around and whittling： away at a small board. After the big event, he is seen standing around doing this or that. The fact that he should prefer to stand after his initiation is “pounded into him” during the cere­ mony.—Well, after a few years one can have pleasant memories of a once dreaded day. These are the days, too, when we hear all around us, “Button, Frosh!” The green caps again identify the Freshies for sure. The Senior Class of three years ago revived an old custom at our school. Senior Class canes. But the revival did not last long. The last year’s Seniors did not observe the old practice, and it seems that this year again there will be no Senior class canes. What’s in a custom that has already succumbed a few times? The Juniors have been talking about their class rings for some time. Probably before long they will be proudly display­ ing their finger ornaments. The “sturdy” elm, situated between the gym and College Ave” has again been doctored by a tree surgeon. Of late an effort has been made to prolong the life of this landmark. It was unscathed by that mighty gale that swept through this part of the country about the middle of September and tore from many another tree decayed as well as sound and healthy limbs.

We'wish to correct a mistake of the Sept, issue in connec­ tion with the article. "New Russia’s Primer, ” from thq Academy News. After- ''nibbling of its contents,” read “Again we urge a Book Review Column for the Black and Red, in order to stimu­ late the desire for good books.” . •十T Milton has a new president, Mr. Jay W. Crofoot. We wish him all success in his new position. As an introduction to. his charges. President Crofoot wrote an editorial for the Milton College Hcvicw of Oct. 2, entitled, “The Importance of Reputa­ tion. 'J A few of the Presidents remarks include: . “•A year or two after I left college I applied for a certain teaching position: and though I had some encouragement from the president of the school board, I failed to get it. I have always believed that the reason for that failure was because I had too much of a reputation as a leader in fun-making. —It is Quite probable that students in Milton College have failed to secure teachers’ positions on account of reputations that they acquired in college—perhaps even in their Freshman Year.” Several quotations from the autobiography of Ghancli, which is discussed in the ‘‘Library’’ column of the Review in­ terested us so intensely that we cannot but pass them on. You piust feel sympathy for the great Hindu when you contrast his ideal Christian principle with his false conception of salvation: .“Though a Mussulman or a Christian or a Hindu may des­ pise me or hate me, I want to love him and serve him even as I would love my wife or son though they hate me.—4 * My uniform 143

3 experience has convinced me that there is no other God than Truth.—A perfect vision of Truth can only follow a complete realixation of Ahimsa (non-violence). Without sclf-purificalion the observance of the law of Ahimsa must remain an empty dream; God cannot be realized by one who is not pure at heart.* * Congratulations to the writer for the delightful originality of his article, “Atomic Theory j?oes Collegiate,J J in the Septem­ ber issue of the Luther College Visitor. He applies the atomic theory to the college student: ‘‘Science also says that this theory may be applied to all matter and will hold true. People are a form of matter, so let us apply this rule to them. _ , ‘‘Consider the revolution of boys and girls during their collegiate days. You will see that the college is the major proton and the students are the minor electrons. The instruct­ ors act as a mediator to cause affinity between these two bodies. ** But the whole article must be read to be appreciated. A prayer of thanks emanates from our lips upon the news that one college intends to rise from the barbarian stage of hazing. Following the death of a Freshman as a result of accidental injuries received in a Freshman-Sophomore scuffle, the students of the Stout Institute have resolved to abolish hazing. We hope that their efforts will be entirely successful, and that the tragedy will serve as a warning beacon to all schools that still practice violent initiation ceremonies. “Sweeping Changes Made in Cun'iculum. ’’ With this head­ line the Sept. 30. issue of Collide Chius greets us. We read that “the requirements for graduation at Luther College have been completely changed ancl brought into harmony with pre­ sent-day practice.’’ As may be expected, the biggest change has taken place in the language requirements. * heretofore, the requirements have specifically been: Four courses of Latin, two courses of Greek, plus a choice of a third course in Greek or Christianity—. Under the new curriculum there is a foreign language requirement, but no specific foreign languages are required.”一 Thus more and more are the colleges of to-day losing faith in the creed of centuries that the hexameters of Homer and the Odes of Horace are the main streams of life for the nourish­ ment of our minds.

Wm,

incs The great king Football is again in season. For another brief period he makes his entry into the front pages. AH in­ terest and conversation is centered about the sport activities on the campus. Everything was in readiness at Northwestern as the first two weeks were given entirely to preliminary work. Coaches Kleinke and Haefner immediately plunged into the task of rounding the 32 players into shape for their clash with the seven teams which appear on the 1931 schedule. The Black and Red men may furnish a surprise this year, and if the spirit of deter­ mination counts for anything, they will do just that. The game with the Lutheran Seminary of Thiensville, which was scheduled for September 9, was called when teams „ v- y, both pomnlptelv were prepared for battle. A heavy rainfall, v-h P ^ drenched the playing field, caused the officials t contest.

squad for the current season. Beloit 12; Northwestern 0. September 26.—On this day Northwestern maje from home trip of the season to play the strong Be n , the season^ opener. Beloit stepped out with the leieree 145

1 whistle and after 60 minutes of sluggish play spelled defeat for Northwestern 12-0. . The game was repleted with fumbles and penalties. A fumble by Schewe in the first quarter and another by Martin in the last period were gathered in by alert Beloit players and rapidly turned into touchdowns. On both occasions Capt. Porter cut off tackle behind good interference to cross his opponents，goal. The State Liners opened large holes in Iho Northwestern defense for gain after gain, but the Black and Red forward wall, greatly outweighed, held desperately when forced back deep into their territory. Offensively Beloit made 17 first downs to Northwestern^ 5. Capt Porter was the mainspring of Beloit1 s attack, while Schroeder, R. Lemke, and Capt. Buenger flashed for Northwestern.

Carroll 31; NodliM'csk'rn 0. October 3. —Under a hot blazing summer sun the Northwestern Goslings and the Carroll Pioneers renewed their football rivalry here today. It was a rather friendly tilt for the estimated crowd of 600 to witness, and with Ottery, Carroll’s versatile captain, giving- one of his consistently fine performances, the Orange and White led their opponents 31—0. Carroll’s entire student body traveled to Watertown to ob­ serve the annual “Carroll day” encounter, and to scan the accomplishments of Coach Batha, who is beginning his first year as head coach at that institution. The Orange and White football machine began to function smoothly immediately after the kick-off. After five minutes of 146

^ 免?t 】

play, Dillingofski crossed the opponents’ goal for the first touch­ down. Ottery charged through the line for the extra point. An intercepted pass gave the Pioneers possession of the ball a few minutes later. A pass brought the ball to Northwestern’s 18-yard line, from where Thiel carried it over to make the score 13-0. Again Carroll penetrated into Northwestern^ territory only to lose the ball on the 4-yard stripe. Schroedei^s pass from center was directed to Martin, but the ball dribbled out of his hands and Mehl of Carroll recovered. On the next play Capt. Ottery scored just as the quarter ended. Beginning the second half, Carroll marched down the field on a series of well executed plays. Capt. Ottery found a hole, raced 15-yards, and recorded the fourth touchdown. Again Carroll plunged madly, filled the air with passes, and finally got the ball to Northwestern^ 30-yard line. On the next play Ottery received the pass from center, and after a brilliant broken field run, added 6 more points to his teammates’ total. In the last few minutes of play Northwestern opened an aerial attack which threatened their opponents’ goal. The timer’s horn, however, marked the close of the game with Northwestern in possession of the ball on Carroll’s 28-yard marker. Carroll— Northwestern— Jansen …___ ..........R. Lemke L.

October 10.—Rain, mud, and a great Northwestern team conspired to stop the Whitewater State Teacher's eleven before a small but excited crowd here Saturday afternoon. The Teachers 147

F downed Kleinke，s men all right 13-0, but had to dig deep in their bag of strategical plays to turn the trick. Northwestern lost to Whitewater because they were out­ smarted and outfought, not outplayed. The line was exceptionally potent with Schroeder, Raabe, Gensmer, and Reuschel turning in excellent performances. These men have learned to “drive’em out”，and appear now like a group of veritable cyclones. But the surprise does not end there. The backfield played a game which puts a ray of light on Coach Kleinke’s dark outlook. They were fast, elusive, hard-driving and powerful. • As for the two touchdowns, they came something like this: Early in the second quarter the Teachers gained possession of the ball on Northwestern^ 45-yard line. After two plays brought no gain, Sturtevant kicked over the goal. On the first play the Black and Red were penalized 15-yards. Martin then booted the ball to his 35-yard line. Sturtevant went through tackle for 6 yards, after a pass was incomplete. He then dropped back, passed to Janiseck, and the first touchdown resulted. Kohls added the extra point. As the fourth period opened Whitewater took the ball on an exchange of punts. It was now on the 40-yard stripe of North­ western^ territory. Reuschel and Gensmer hit Crabtree for a yard loss. Sturtevant rounded right end with very little inter­ ference for 12 yards, bringing the oval to the 26-yard marker. Crabtree added 5 on a spinner play. At this stage of the game Whitewater called for a huddle. The players lined up, signals were called, and the ball was snapped. After a triple pass be­ hind the line, Crabtree finally got the ball, swept around his right end for 21 yards and recorded the final touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. There were about eight minutes left to play. Capt. Buenger chose to receive. Four pass plays netted a total of 59 yards, bringing the ball to Whitewater’s 8-yard stripe. Here North­ western lost the ball on downs, and Sturtevant kicked to the 34yard line, from where Schewe returned it to the 15-yard mark. Buenger lunged ahead for 10-yards. Three line plays failed to get the pigskin over the goal. Sturtevant kicked a beautiful 50-yard punt as the game ended. Northwestern Whitewater— Martzke (Capt) ____ R. Lem L.

Along with many other old customs of by-gone days the collecting of mail in the dormitory has passed into tradition. Formerly each room had its own little mail-box, from which the mail was gathered twice every day. Now we have been deprived of this convenience, we must take our letters either to room four 01，to the mail-box at the nearest street corner. At any time of the day one may now see little flashes of green flitting about here and there, in the dormitory, on the campus, down town — and a Freshie under each one of them. The Freshies are again buttoning to the Sophs. This custom is common in most colleges and was begun at Northwestern m 1928, the class of 1932 being the first to wear the green caps. The “class rush” between the Freshies and Sophs, already sug­ gested last year but not carried out, was dropped this year also, since the two classes could come to no satisfactory agree­ ment on the matter. . On account of Prof. Heirmarm’s brief illness some classes were exempted from Latin periods for a few days. Pitching horse-shoes seems to have become a favorite exer­ cise and pastime for quite a number of students, especially for members of the three upper classes. Not infrequently two courts and four pairs of shoes are in use simultaneously. John Radloff }33, though a “hold-out” for nearly a month, has finally returned to our midst. For some reason or other Luther Schliesser finds it either possible or necessary to be absent from dinner every Wednesday，noon. The home of the Slmllu, the “prep paper” of Northwest­ ern, has been moved to larger and more comfortable quarters. The small room formerly occupied by the Shrdlu has become the 150

anh office of the dress sergeant of the band and is used exclusively

as a storeroom for the uniforms of the band.

Harold Haefner spent Sunday, September 27, at his home in La Crosse. On account of special In terurban rates “Benny” Hahm went home on Friday, the second of October, instead of going home over the week-end. Economizing in this form may seem a trifle unusual, but it is not at all to be derided in this ebb of student prosperity in a financial way. Several upper classmen recently paid a visit to Sacred Heart College. A mimbei* of students attended the airplane meet at the local airport on September 27. In their eagerness to see the parachute jump, several of them waited till it was too late for supper, and still didn’t see anything of the parachute jump. The College quartette sang at the Mission Festival at Trini­ ty Church on September 27. Schewe’s birthday was observed with due ceremony. He was, of course, presented with the customary flood of appropri­ ate and highly welcome gifts. Then there is the Sextaner who was sent after a yard of scrimmage line but returned disappointed because he couldn’t bring it along. On returning from Beloit, the football team was greeted by part of the band with several marches. That the football team of . Carroll . College _ was accompanied hither by the Carroll band in uniform made it necessary for our band to appear in uniform also. During the half both bands together played “On Wisconsin”.，We were highly pleased with the fine, friendly spirit prevailing in the Carroll band and we hope that our own orga­ nization may not lack that same quality. . “Huds” Fredericks has been making weekly trips to La Crosse; he is taking treatments with a specialist there for the fractured collar-bone which he suffered in football some time ago. The French class this year consists of only four men and three women. If Senior Latin had been dropped, more Seniors would probably now be taking French. .. In his capacity of dnim-major, Buenger has been drilling the band almost daily for a week in preparation for the parade in connection with the dedication of the new Cole Memorial bridge on October 16. The interest in astronomy seems to be increasing1 among pe students. A regular class in descriptive astronomy may be begun in the near future according to reliable reports. u alter Hoepner attended his Brother’s wedding at Fond du Lac on October 17. Since he was best man, he took the oppor151

tunity to allow several days for recuperation before returning to school. The Juniors are busily engaged in building the stage and placing the chairs for the concert to be given by the Russian Cossack Chorus on October 22. The Weyland brothers spent October 18 at Winchester. Kaspar visited his home in Oshkosh on October 18.

Word has been received that she is very loncsonK* and would appreciate bearing from former schoolmates. Wt* all wish you a spcoiiy recovery, Vivian! The “Waiulerlust” inherent in all of us showed itself in two of our Coeds on Sept. 26, with the result that (Henna Ras­ mussen and Lillian Trapp arrived in llartlaml just t\vc*nty-two miles from Watertown in forty-five minutes in their first at­ tempt at “shagging” home. Plans for our annual Coed party arc again under way. Committees have been chosen by our worthy president, and the members are plying the tasks assigned them with their usual vim, vigor, and ambition. We will take this opportunity to note that the young women of today arc very like the old Roinans in that the cry of “Paiiern et circnscs" is raised on all sides. Those in charge of the “panem are Adclc Nommcnson, Dorothy Dieter, and Lydia Knispcl. Glenna Rasmussen, Dorothy Groth, Eleanor Coogan, and Lillian Trapp will try to provide the “circenses”. The event will take place in the ^miiasiimi oil the evening of October 29. For further information consult the November Black and Red where full details and results w»U be given. One of the members of our illustrious Sophomore Class. Glenna Rasmussen, is suffering from a severe cold, the result of being pushed into Lake Michigan at a distance of two lum(lred miles from home and friends. No dry clothing was pro­ curable, therefore she bad to continue on her way in a slightly dampened condition. Dorothy Dieter and Vera Stube were overpowered by the call of old companions and the pleasure of childhood days, there­ fore they deserted a football game being held on our fair cam152

pus and attended the game being held in Washington Park. This move was noticed and duly commented upon in class by one of the professors with his usual display of dry but effective humor much to tlu* amusement and discomfiture of the Misses Stube and Dieter. Dycia \Vcgnc*r and ICthcl Kopp, ex *34 from Carroll College were seen on the campus the day of the Carroll game. Congratulations, Arline! Miss Schumann is the proud possessor of• a baby brotliei' Arline apparently believes in safety in nuiiibcns.

We arc inclined to believe they come from a toy music departiiiont, hut investigation shows they have their source in the homos of members of the newly organized Girls’ Orchestra. This is tlic first time in the history of Northwestern College that ever such an organization existed. Miss Ras­ mussen 1ms been unanimously chosen director and will present her “Sensible Seven” in the near future. A superabundance of oil in the instruments has caused many of the girls to send tbeir ck»thcs tc» tlir cleaners, l>ut thev will live and learn. After rehearsing diligently llu*y will gain their end, for “practice makes perfectM. The “Prep” girls arc very reluctant to part with their news, considering- anvtliin^ appearing in the Black and Red as a detri­ ment to the Shrdlu. This,we hope, will explain our dearth of material.

This will be mans Human beings will be manufactured in the laboiat y • , idea of course is not a new one ; but we hear r tue cell has been isolated in a serum; one or two elemen ” serum are still lacking, but we shall undoubtedlyfind them soon.

f

(XttJt

What a tonic for the ever-ailing state! Not only of her nervousness will she be cured, but also of her pneumonia, her heart trouble, her catarrh and her fallen arches! Look at America now. Is not every family, in Charleston, in Toledo, in Los Angeles, surrounded by a wall inside of which the powers of Mr. Jones, the worries of Mrs. Jones, and the energies of Tom Jones are concentrated on the affairs inside that wall ? Will not the battering-rams of Ectogenesis smash down those walls, so that those inside will go out to form one great family ? Let the reader visualize a state without mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. John and Mary will have no father to love; therefore they can be trained from infancy to love the state. There will be no father to demand John’s attention and support; therefore that attention and support can be given to the welfare of all citizens. Mary will not have to stamp boxes in a department store in order to support a widowed mother. There will be no Mrs. Smith to slam the door in the face of a nurse who has come in to inspect Jimmy’s tonsils. There will be no Mrs. Johnson to take the sword of courage from “poor Frank’’，to kill all the dragons for him, so that . when he finally must step out from behind her shield he will have no weapons to fight the monsters that leer at him from all sides. Nay, far more, the country will not be cursed with tens of thousands of syphilitics, with hordes of morons and defectives. 'vjll be no psychotic Jim Olson, a farmhand who is born 'Y. nourished by a mental demon, so that at the age of tnifty ne must swear allegiance to the spirit, and directed by it )viu murder his employer, wife, and child because his work is to hard! are some of the priceless benefits that Ectogenesis bestow upon the state. And now, what new freedom, whatnew happiness, what new life for the individual! V?es n?t the present system harass man on all sides ? See focfo!?iS 1S lettered by the family chain, how his heart 户㊀ lj^isopof family quarrels, how his soul famishes ack of}he food of life. And behold, how Ectogenesis tW cnnff that chain, purge out that poison, and feed Riii,cSo0r^kVThfreLwlll be no father to strangle the spirit of bltl0n ^ ai? air'ma^ Pilot: there will be no nagging S prffL^°rrdfi?he teart ?f Josephine with weekly torments 气bout hgr boy-friends; there will be no wife and BIaCk When itw0uld feed in Yonderful of ail, what a super-blessing would Wof confer women! Not only will Mrs. Castalucci tepn wfar out her nerves and plague her mind with sixteen hours of slavery a day that Tony and Lucio and Rosie 158

might eat their rice flakes and wear clean stockings. No — she also will not have to writhe in the agony of childbirth ! 0 god­ dess Ectogenesis, what thanks can woman bring thee that thou sparest her such torture ! Let us go up into an high mountain and let our eyes sweep around to survey the golden panorama: a country of perfectly trained citizens, a country free from scores of evils begotten by the family, a country of heaven-blessed women. — But now we see another country. First one, then another, then a third evil spirit rises from Hades to blacken the landscape. We assume that the factory child will be in all respects like the natural child. Therefore the new man also will, have sex passion. Then how will the scientist remove that passion ? How will he prevent the formation of families ? Does he expect uni­ versal intercourse and at the same time universal birth-preven­ tion ? Will he rid woman of her desire for children ? And what kind of heart will he give her that she will have no love for men? Therefore let us kill the evil spirits that Ectogenesis would curse us with by assuming, secondly, that women will no longer be necessary. Ah, woman’s super-blessing -it will not be, for there will be no more women ! And that cannot be ; therefore there can be no Ectogenesis. ,. „ ,, . Consequently we must assume, thirdly, that the scient will be able to produce a different kind of boy and gill ^ whose bosom will not sigh at the thought of bewitching brown eyes; a girl whose nerves will not vibrate m the vie y brawny shoulders. But the cells of our imagination cannot twist themselves to grasp such a boy and such ^ we picture a movie and not see Ramon kissing Madeline garden ? How can we see a Mrs. Smith not stooping cradle to tickle a tiny foot ? ^ Perhaps the scientists will find w ays to overcome all difficulties, as they are wont to do. That Russian minds , ^ especially ⑺-仲 tingle with the idea is natural, for $ •n to their regenerators of mankind ? They plan ,, socialism ; and what could be a stronger basis for sue , than Ectogensis ? They have rejected God; now ij an(j become gods themselves! They gaze over the present world ana see on the horizon a new one. Now it becomes the „ to help create it by summoning her forces to attack the diagons that guard the spring of life. And science accepts the tesK. Drunk by her victories of the past, she becomes fie ^ her boldness for the conquests of the futuie. But t ^ her soldiers will shatter wooden spears against a » this time her only reward will be the taunting thundei o ^ Word across the sky : 4*And He shall laugh them to scoin. E, K. oo. 159

STUDENT LIFE IN GERMANY DURING THE THIRTY YEAR’S WAR Already in the second half of the 16th century the univer­ sity life in Germany had become very savage. The terrible Thirty Year，s War, which followed in the beginning of the next cen­ tury, helped to increase these barbaric conditions. All the brutalities of soldier life were imitated in the circles of the students. The fagging system was the greatest stain on the character of the universities during the 17th century. The newly arrived students were not only the servants, but almost the slaves of the upper classmen. After their entrance the “greenhorns” were designated to the various upper classmen as servants and given derogatory nicknames. These indicated some uncleanness in their bodies which was removed by the famous “Schwedentrank’’. This consisted of a mixture of sausage, bread, nettles, crushed bricks, ink, butter, nut shells, salt, mud, and the like. At the beginning of the second semester the novice was pro­ moted to the rank of a “Brandfuchs”. To signify his rank some hair were singed off behind the victim’s ears in commemoration of the foxes whose tails Samson had singed. “Philistines upon thee，’’ was therefore the war cry of the foxes. The upper classmen required of the foxes all their worldly possessions, such as clothes and books, and gave them in ex­ change their own worn-out articles. The foxes had to provide their masters with beer, brandy, pretzels, and cards at their own expense, polish their shoes, act as servants whenever the upper classmen had visitors, run their errands, do their recopy­ ing and for reward receive blows in silence. Should his master become ill, the fox acted as nurse, and even played for him by the hour if he wished to hear music. He had to appear on occasions even though he were sick. He had to keep absolute silence concerning all these things if he ever hoped to reach the rank of upper classman. After one year, six months, six weeks, six days, six hours, and six minutes he was finally allowed to enter the ranks of a regular student. First, however, he had to beg release from his slavery from each one of his former masters and pro­ vide them with a farewell banquet. In their study rooms instead of books one found daggers and armor on the walls, and scattered here and there drinking1 glasses, cards and dice. Their studies were the least of their worries. _____ In the dead of the night they would break forth from their lairs and all drunk and armed storm through the streets seeking their ene160

mies and attacking whomever they met. Thus they robbed and wounded many innocent citizens. They also stood before the houses of professors and clerics, shouting and booing, and even disturbed funeral processions with their clamor. It seems peculiar that the professsors and rectors took no steps to stop these barbarities, but it must be remembered that they were just as wild as the students, drinking and celebrating with them. These conditions continued for many years before the government and academic officials were finally able to suppress them. L. S. ’32.

THE CLOCK HATH STRICKEN THREE US that the motion picture film is pro* rYmnf'r?肋one aim in view, to extort from the public enough S ^ to cover the cost of production. With this fact offtlCS busy ever since the opening of the 外。巧to. show how commercialism tends to de­ crease the artistic merits of a photoplay. most often rests on the argument that the 咖some?ne eJse，s interpretation of narrative and Thpro0U!!- ima?ina^on could color more skillfully. s^s^action of putting our own construction on an thoughts.

We g for pleasure, as a rule; at times merely to relax, occa162

i sionally also to meditate on distant things. And now comes the grievance just referred to. In a state of comfort we have seen a late-war hero fighting for democracy; we have seen him fall in love —perchance even approved of his choice. Then when the heat of battle is over our hero is observed to take note of the time on the gilt dial of a flexible-band wrist watch duly assembled in nineteen-thirty. Remember, we were watching the battle of Belleau Wood. Let us overlook this slight error. The setting sun might have gilded an army type black leather-incased strap watch. Our vision isn’t always perfect either. We follow the warrior to his quarters. A rival meets him there. Combat with beautiful display of brain and sinew. Delightful until a torn shirt discloses (pur­ posely of course) pink striped rayon B. V. D’s. The garment is in good taste, no doubt; many trainers wear them today. We marvel only at such futuristic selection. Let even that be ignored and proceed to applaud a splendid swan song, perfect, but as concerns one little detail; the fellow cracks a joke, copyrighted —not in the gay nineties - but a bare three months ago; thir­ teen years post festum. And, Alas worthy Nineveh, some laugh! J. R.，33. ON SIDE LINES OF EDUCATION It would seem offhand as if a college graduate of this in­ stitution should be a well-versed, adroit, finished man, suffi­ ciently prepared to enter any field or profession of life. Through­ out a period of eight years he is associated with his studies. He attends classes and makes the necessary preparation for each hour of recitation. With our curriculum, embracing the essential branches of a liberal education, we would be justified in expecting that the college student should learn a great deal in the time he has spent here. He is thoroughly taught in religion, languages, history, mathematics, sciences, and special branches of philo­ sophy. For an institution whose aim is “to impart a liberal education in a Christian spirit” ali of these studies are of para­ mount importance and not to be neglected. The schedule of a regular student of our school ranges from twenty four to thirty hours a week. Naturally, the student must do some appreciable amount of studying to be able to carry on in his classwork. •Truly, if he does not shirk the duty of study, and faithfully meets the teacher with response, he should be a well-informed man. And yet, although he has the material to become an efficient, 163

understanding man, does he derive the full benefit of the course he is pursuing ? I am afraid we will find our answer in the negative. The student will find himself doing many things that apparently have no direct association with his classwork. It does not appear that he willfully evades his studies because he loathes them, but rather because he gives preference to these other activities, since they give him more delight, and yet these too are essential and educational. Thus he will find himself taking active part in recreational activities, athletics, literary work, and the like. He will undoubtedly favor, to some extent, the work of at least one of the musical organizations, and prob­ ably devote considerable time in practice for it. All these affairs are, in themselves, necessary and instructive. If, however, they are courted to such an extent that they deprive studying of its attention, they are destructive, devastating. At least it seems probable, that if these other affairs were given their reasonable attention without directly conflicting with the studies, the students of our college would yield happier results. A. Schultz ’32.

AUDI! //

獅XL财 On October 22 one of the rarest of treats in the musical line was offered to the public at N. W. C. gymnasium by the Russian Cossack Chorus under the direction of Sergei Sokoloff. They gripped their audience from the start and held them un­ challenged until the end. Judging from the absolute quiet the gathering maintained while the singers^ were rendering their songs—when the chorus sang piuno pianissimo, one could hear the clock tick and judging from the pronounced applause given them, one would say that this is one musical organization that will long remain in the memory of those who heard them. Their a capelin singing was especially pleasing because of the precision, the colorful shading, and the unusually wide range which they displayed; their range of over three octaves reaches from the lower limit of vibration audible to human ears to notes of the lower soprano region. They sang all their pieces in Russian except four numbers. The Russian Cossacks from the southern part of Russia, all veterans of the World War, appeared in the military dress of their native land. Sergei Sokoloff himself had been an officer of the Cossack forces for a number of years. Born in 1887 in Moscow, the son of a noted musician and choir leader, he took up his studies in the Imperial Conservatory of Music, in Moscow, and in the University of Moscow. He graduated from both in 1915, at which time he was called into military service. .Some time ago the Journal color-photographer took a picture of our football squad. October 25 the picture appeared in the Sunday Journal. 氺*

On Sunday, November 8, the male chorus sang at the fif­ teenth anniversary celebration of Trinity Ev. Luth. Church of Watertown, Rev. Stern, pastor. They sang at both the morning and the evening services. 169

1> We must be much farther out of the depression then we thought if one takes as a sign the dedication of two new build­ ings by Beloit on Oct. 29. They have already erected two others in the new building program. We extend congratulations. After reading in the Nov. 6. issue of the MiUon Gollc^e Review of Milton’s elaborate plans for a glorious homecoming week-end, we express our regrets that our warriors had to spoil it all. An interesting thought of Edison’s in the Review: “As human beings are now constituted, it is impossible for them to be very happy.. The only ones who are continually happy are those who, having little ambition, do small things of little im­ portance.”—Didn’t know there was so much happiness in the world! According to an editorial in the Lulhcr Echo of Nov. 6, St, Paul-Luther College has instituted a new experiment in its curriculum, an arrangement of which they may justly be proud, as they tell us. We quote a few lines: <4We should be proud of St. Paul-Luther College. What school in the middle west has the curriculum that we have ?一 Does the student of the University of Minnesota have the chance of conferring with his professor in assigned periods to straighten out the problem that may arise in his mind ? We are only a small school, yet we are taking the lead in that great field of education. Other schools are watching us to see whether or not we will succeed with the program that we have before 170

TitU J us. ” 一St. Paul-Luther deserves to be congratulated in this attempt to improve education. In an editorial entitled, “Wherein We Lack^ in the Nov. issue of Old Gold and Black, the writer discusses the accusation against education made by Miss Florence Hale, president of the National Education Association. “She asserts that the modern educator is inclined to overlook the importance of giving to noble emotion and aesthetic beauty a place in the curriculum. In this respect our education lacks the simple beauty it once possessed. This age of specialization and massproduction is laying more emphasis on quantity of work rather than on quality.” In the Bethany Scroll is a long column about Rechlin, the famous organist, who gave a concert at Bethany Lutheran College on Nov. 8. Mr. Rechlin played in Germany this sum­ mer :and the Scroll quotes several tributes from German peri­ odicals. What a favor Watertown would receive if we could have this world-renowned musician with us. That the idea of disarmament has made great advances into the territory of colleges is evidenced by an editorial in College Chips of Nov. 4，where a meeting of representatives from eight international student organizations is mentioned. These bodies represent more than 1,500,000 students through­ out the world, which demonstrates a much greater activity among young people in such a movement than one is inclined to believe. ‘‘Should Augustana require every student to pass a swim­ ming test before graduation, which is now required in many colleges and universities of America —This was the unusual topic for discussion in the “Curious Club” of |:he Nov. 5 number of the Augustana Observer. — O yes, education will amount to something yet! We enjoyed this part of one student’s answer ; ‘‘Swimming develops one mentally and physically—so do many other sports, but when does tennis, golf, archery, or baseball help one to save a drowning person Vf ‘‘Science again disproves Einstein.”一No, don’t take this seriously. It is merely a bit of “ridiculosity” found in the Lullier College Visitor. It describes the observations of Pro­ fessor Knowall, who bases all his knowledge on the sixth dimension, and has discovered that the laws of nature may be reversed. — *This may be done by throwing a stone out of the earth’s gravity. The stone must strike the machine room of nature’s power house. Here the lever that is pushed forward must be retarded by the action of the stone.’’一The professor 171

Wisconsin School of Mines J3; Northwestern 12. October 17.- Isn’t it rather shocking the way some teams won’t stay down. Take the Wisconsin School of Mines for example. They journeyed all the way from Platteville, Wisconsin, on this date to engage Coach Kleinke’s eleven for the first time in the history of both schools. They certainly must have enjoyed their trip back home, for they pulled a fast one by defeating the up-and-coming Northwestern team 13-12. It simply wasn’t in the books for the Black and Redmen of Watertown to win the football game. They had two excellent chances to score the tying point after their second tally, but the stubborn Miners wouldn’t give in. . The game was purely a contest of brawn and weight, and resembled, to some extent, the biting, pushing and pulling mass plays of the “oldtimers”. Soderberg, a hammering, gouging backfield substitute, literally ploughed up the Northwestern line. As slow-moving as a tractor but every bit as effective, this 230 pound terror could not be stopped. . Northwestern lost a touchdown by a step in the first quarter. They rushed the Miners to their 3-yard line, and after a 15 yard penalty, a pass, Schewe to Ralph Lemke, was completed for an apparent score. But the officials saw it other­ wise. Ralph failed to remain in the end-zone to take the pass, and therefore no touchdown resulted. They certainly were correct in ruling the play the way they did, but it was just one 173

V'

I厂細$l(X此峨抑孜 of those breaks that helped down our valiant warriors. Along in the second quarter this Mr. Soderberg entered the fracas. After three consecutive first downs the ball rested on the Northwestern 3-yard stripe. Quarterback Piquette carried for the touchdown, and reliable Soderberg drilled the line for the extra point—the point that later proved the winning margin of the game. And thus the half ended: Platteville 7; North­ western 0. After the rest period Coach Dobson’s men again began a dash for the goal. Straight line smashes, without any decep­ tion, featured this march of 58 yards for the second score. Soderberg made the points on this occasion, but Davis was un­ able to register the extra point. As the last period rolled along, this same Soderberg, who in the early part of the game appeared as formidable as a Mack truck, began to tire. He was replaced by a fresh gridder, but immediately the set-to took on a different aspect. With six minutes to play and Northwestern in possession of the ball on its own 23-yard line, Schewe sent off a beautiful 75 yard punt which was grounded on Platt’s 2-yard marker. _ Schro eder and R. Lemke rushed in fast and blocked the kick. Schroeder recovered for Northwestern’s first points, but the attempted kick from placement was low. A few minutes later a 30 yard pass to R. Lemke and a 20 yard pass to Schewe from Martin brought the second Northwestern touchdown. They tried a pass for the extra point, but failed. The referee, how­ ever, ruled interference, and the Black and Redmen were given another chance. Capt. Buenger attempted to sneak through an opening in the line, but he did not reach the white chalk mark to tie the score. And so went the ball game. Very much was expected from our boys in this contest, but as mentioned above, it just seemed to be a Soderberg day, and the breaks simply wouldn’t come in our direction.

Milwjiukee Teachers 12; Norlliwcstern 0. October 31.- Coach Herman Kluge of the Milwaukee State Teachers College brought his Green Wave to Watertown Satur­ day to play the last non-conference game of the Teachers’ pre­ sent season. According to reports heard from the enemy camp before the game. Kluge intimated that he would start his reserves and use his regulars only in case they were needed. The Northwestern Goslings, however, with two weeks’ rest, were in tiptop shape to meet their opponents. They entered into the contest with spirit and determination. The Teachers downed the Goslings all right 12-0，but it required more power than the Milwaukee mentor had expected. From the opening： kick-off Northwestern resorted to a run­ ning and aerial attack that immediately put these second string­ ers on the defense. It was not until the second quarter, with eight minutes left to play of the first half, that the Peds finally advanced the ball into Northwestern^ territory for the first time since the opening. At this point Kluge inserted his regulars. Fresh and fighting, the Green Wave penetrated to the Goslings’ 30-yard stripe. After a pass to Van Dale for 10 yards, and a delayed smash through center for 13 yards. Boll lunged his way over the goal line for the first points of the game. The try for the extra point failed, and the half ended with Milwaukee 6 points to Northwestern’s cypher. Kluge’s reserves, who again were put back on the field at the start of the half, were unable to do anything against the stubborn Goslings. As the fourth quarter opened, Northwestern started a brilliant dash that brought them to their opponentsJ 5-yard line. Immediately Kluge replaced the second stringers with the fresh regulars. The Goslings were stopped and another threat failed. As the game drew near a close the Green Wave opened a powerful offensive attack, led by Van Dale and Boll. Another touchdown was scored by La Gosh after two 15 yard passes and an end run for 10 yards by the speedy halfback. The Northwestern aerial attacks in the latter half of the 175

3 fourth period proved to be highly effective, but the breaks :ain were against them. “Hansie” Martin kept the Teachers their territory most of the time by his superb punting. His kicking this year has been sensational. He shows a fine kick­ ing form with plenty of snap, rhythm, and power. Northwestern— Milwaukee..................Bolle ___L. E.__ Schewi (Capt.)...... .

November 6.—The scrappy Goslings of Northwestern college gave notice of their football strength by taking： a 7-0 decision over the Milton college gridders at Milton Friday afternoon. The victory was most welcome to the Black and Redmen, since they were defeated in their last five starts and thus succeeded to bring themselves above the .000 percentage mark. It was a perfect day for football, and a large crowd accom­ panied the team to witness the homecoming' game of the home squad. The game was one of fight and power. As the teams lined . up, there didn’t seem to be an inch leeway to give either team. The game resolved itself into one play that spelled defeat for the fighting Miltonites. The crowd gasped in amaze­ ment and admiration as Fredricks took the ball from center, followed his interference through the line, and then raced through the secondary for a touchdown. This happened in the third quarter after both teams fought madly during the entire 176

i

^ Ed!

first half trying desperately to pierce the defense of the other. Northwestern^ only serious threat before this winning play came in the first quarter. Ralph Lemke recovered a fumbled punt on Milton’s 46-yard line. With perfect interference Martin swept around left end to the opponents’ 8-yard stripe. On three plays Capt. Buenger could only pick up 4 yards. A pass from Martin to Schewe was complete over the goal, but the ball dribbled out of the receiver’s hands. In the third period Northwestern received the ball on an exchange of punts. Straight line smashes brought the oval to Milton’s 42-yard mark. Then came the off-tackle play which saw Fredricks side-stepping, whirling, and dodging his way for the only score of the game. One Milton player made a last lunge at “Huds” on the 10-yard line. He succeeded in reaching his man, but Fredricks shook him off and dashed the rest of the way unmolested. Schewe's kick from placement, with Buenger holding the ball, was good, and Northwestern found themselves in the lead for the first time this season. It is impossible to pick a single star of the game. Fredricks brought the rooters to their feet with his brilliant run, but we must not forget the excellent interference given by the backfield on this occasion and by the entire team throughout the afternoon. The bitter fight put up by the Northwestern line, when they stopped thrust after thrust, with their backs to their own goal, cannot be described. All of the wearers of the Black and Red turned in sterling performances, and only the record books will tell the story of their noble stand in the Milton victory. Milton— Northwestern H.

Referee, Huegel (Marquette): umpire, Kakuske (Milton); head linesman, Kumerow (Stout). A Foolball Retrospect. When we look back at our 1931 football season, the first thing that seems to interest us most is the number of games we won. Everyone knows, and will remember the last game of our football season—the game in which our Northwestern gridders made a name for themselves by setting- down Milton College to a 7-0 defeat. But with this game our search for victories will cease. It was the only one of a schedule of six games. Despite the disastrous appearance of a record of this kind, the Goslings have been able to keep the scores of their oppo­ nents comparatively low. They can be proud of the fact that their opponents scored but 81 points, while they counted for 19. By holding our opponents to 81 points for the entire season, our 1931 football team has done the best defensive job of all North­ western teams since 1921. In that year the opposition was able to collect but 73 points. A table of the past 10 years follows, showing the total amount of points made by our opposing teams in each season: 152 points 1925 146 points 1930 124 1924 1929 145 “ 122 1923 1928 140 “ 1922 170 “ 1927 138 1921 73 ‘‘ 1926 118 Considering this fact, we wish to point to one factor which supports the success of the other. This factor is the line, the other is the backfield. Without a fast, intelligent line, the best backs in the country would be as jellyfish. The linemen are rarely given credit for their feats of valor; their work is gener­ ally underestimated. We see the fleet-footed halfback race through the line for a score, but never stop to think that the line, where the fighting is more furious, was directly respons­ ible for the success of the play. And then especially on defense the line comes in for some real work. When we consider that only 81 points were scored this season, we believe that the line has very much of the credit coming. It seems like pretty conclusive proof that the line is rather important, when it comes to defensive and offensive power of a team. The Northwestern line this year has shown great improve­ ments as the season progressed. In comparison with other lines they met, they made a rather meek appearance, but in action they proved themselves quite formidable. All this, however， should not detract a bit from the flash our backfield has shown. 178 i4 ii

It merely substantiates the fact, that a successful offense and defense is dependent on the efficiency of a strong, fighting for­ ward wall. N. W. G. Preps 0; Jefferson 12. Jefferson high school triumphed over the Northwestern Preps here Friday, October 16, by a score of 12-0. The Preps had many opportunities to score in the first period, but fumbled on each occasion. Just as the gun terminated the end of the first half the ball was snapped to Messman who passed to Mistele, substitute end, for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Guel added 6 more points on a right end run. Acting captain Schwartz showed good punting ability, while Doll and Hahm fought hard in the line. Aumann and Messman proved them­ selves capable for Jefferson. Score by quarters: Jefferson 0 6 0 6—12 0 0 0—0 N. W. C. Preps 0 N. W. C. Preps 0; Milwaukee University School 21. Milwaukee University school won its homecoming_ game _ Saturday, October 24, over the Northwestern college Preps of Watertown by a score of 21-0. M. U. S. did all its scoring in the first eight minutes of play. Schnetzky counted on a 30 yard jaunt around right end, and a moment later placed the ball in position for the next touchdown. His 27 yard run placed the oval on the Preps’ 3-yard line, from where Vandervelde plunged over left tackle for the 6 points. The final touchdown came after an exchange of punts left the ball on Northwestern’s 38-yard stripe. Schnetzky carried the pigskin to the 3-yard line. Johnston then plunged the remaining 3 yards for the score. M. U. S. carried the ball over the line after each touch­ down to make the score 21. In the final session the Preps made f desperate rush for the goal, but a fumble was recovered by Innes of M. U. S., ending the threat. Score by quarters: Milw. U. School 21 0 0 0—21 N. W. C. Preps 0 0 0 0—0 Referee, Colosimo (Minnesota); umpire, Kibler (S. Dakota State); head linesman, Basing (Lawrence). N. W. G. Preps 20; Lutheran Iii^h School 13. The Northwestern college Preps, led by Capt. Sturm, defeated Milwaukee Lutheran High school, 20-13, here Saturday, November 7. The game was played --------------before a—-OT large-------crowd； of Watertown and Milwaukee spectators, who made their way into 179

I—， the Northwestern field to get a personal view of the teams who last year battled to a scoreless tie. Free-scoring was contagious, and though at the end of the first half the score was 13 to 6, in favor of the Preps, the Luth­ eran eleven came back strong in the final 30 minutes of play, only tx> be on the short end of a 20-13 count. The Preps kicked off to the Blue and White and immediately forced them to punt. Sauer returned the kick for 38 yards, and Schwartz and Sturm carried it to the 8-yard mark. Sturm then tallied, but the try for point failed. In the second quarter Sturm took a pass from Schwartz for 20 yards and another touchdown. Pagel kicked the extra point. A few minutes later the Lutherans counted on a beautiful pass from Seefeldt to Buerger. Resorting to a running attack in the third period, the Preps brought the ball to the Lutherans’ 10-yard stripe. Then, as the final quarter opened, Capt. Sturm hit the line for the Preps’ last score. Tietz completed a pass for the extra point. After the kick-off the Lutherans passed and ran their way to the Preps’ 5-yard line. Seefeldt skirted right end for a touchdown and a pass, Scherbarth to Jahn, brought the Milwaukeeans’ score to 13. After this the Blue and White threatened to score again, but the timer’s gun ended the game with Coach Fa!k’s men in possession of the ball on their opponents’ 4-yard stripe. Bradke, Hahm, and Doll played well in the Prep line, often popping out of nowhere to nail the Lutheran backs. Capt, Sturm and Schwartz showed good ability as ball carriers. Capt. Buerger displayed great adeptness as a pass receiver. It should also be mentioned here, that Seefeldt p layed a good old time game, and made many brilliant runs. He. was the visitors’ most consistent ground gainer and proved himself on the field of defense many times over. Lutheran High— N. W. C. Preps— ...... ...........Seifert Buerger (Capt.).. L.

Since the green “Freshie caps” have been discarded and the initiations of the Vesuvius Club are over, the Freshmen can now settle down to a life of peace and quietude for the rest of the year. For weeks the square has been the scene of contests in oratory and singing (?), sponsored by the initiation commit­ tees. Applications of the conventional paddle have been gener­ ous enough, especially since each paddle had to be autographed by all the members of the Club. But although many a vigorous “swat” accompanied this last formality, yet no casualties have been reported; and, after all, initiations are something to look back to in later years, something that is not easily forgotten. On October 24 Ed. Knoll traveled to Madison to visit George Rowe ex *32. Among other things they saw the play “If I _ were King/J presented by the University Players. . “Fat” Nommensen had an opportunity to display his ambu­ latory ability to advantage when he “shagged” to Columbus on October 25, but “hiked” about twelve miles of the way. Better luck next time! Relien has given up the study of the cornet in favor of violin, banjo, mandolin, and mouth-organ. But that is not all; somewhere he has picked up a bugle and now … our ears . are almost constantly being assailed by the sounds of reveille, assembly, taps, etc., as they peal forth from room 33. Mrs. Rhode celebrated her birthday in a manner most propriate and considerate indeed; that is asserted by all who partook of the chicken-dinner prepared on that occasion. The students’ approval and appreciation was voiced in the strains of the well-known “Sie lebe hoch”. . Six sophomores and one Freshman heard an interesting 182

^ ^ReZl | lecture on “The Ups and Downs During the Time of the judges”. The lecture was given by Prof. Barth of Concd^dia College, Milwaukee, and was sponsored by the Walther League of the local St. John’s congregation. The Tertianers enjoyed a day off on the twenty-fourth of October. On that day the Prep football team played Milwaukee University School at Milwaukee and this caused such a gap in the ranks of the class that recitations were suspended for that day. Over the week-end, including Hallowe’en, Martin and Oscar Lemke entertained several visitors. The members of room 29 must have dined royally during that time, for it took Batzlaff’s appetite almost a week to regain normalcy. Well, Hallowe’en passed by quietly enough this year, except for several minor disturbances. Foggy Buch, the assistant manager of the football team, had the bleachers carried in the day before, thus forestalling at least one favorite Hallowe’en prank. It’s too bad, however, that the goal-posts couldn’t be carried in also! Our immediate vicinity remained unharrassed to a large extent. It seems, though, that Harke’s room was visited by a peculiar nightmare, most realistic in form and action; for full particulars see Mr. Harke. The quartette sang at the annual fall banquet at Winnebago Lutheran Academy, in Fond du Lac. Tiefel, Martin, and Hoepner were also present in the capacity of guests. Besides that, the Quartette has also sung several times at Trinity Church here in town. . Now that the Prep smoking-room has been transformed into a cosy little club-room, the members of the Vesuvius Club have come to realize that their worthy sanctuary might be im­ proved in a similar manner. Accordingly a committee of five has been set to work to introduce suitable and necessary reno­ vations. A number of students saw and enjoyed the play "Miss Lulu Bett”，which was presented by the A. A. U. W. of Watertowni on November 4. The play was written by Zona Gale, now grs. Breese, who was present and delivered a short address. If one may judge from reports, the play must have been a decided success. The student body was well represented at the football game between Northwestern and Milton at Milton, November sixth, beveral alumni were also at hand to see Northwestern close its g>ot-ball season by a 7-0 victory over Milton. Incidentally, Buenger, captain of this year’s team, has been reelected as captain for next year. ,Juniors have not yet decided on a college ring, but they hope to do so in the near .future. For weeks they have 183

been considering samples left by representatives of several jewelry firms, in an effort to satisfy and please as many membess of the class as possible. On November 4 Mr. Wright, ex ’34, appeared in our midst as a representative of the Miller Cigar Company of this city. In accordance with the principle that “it pays to advertise”，Mr. Wright distributed free sample packages of cigarettes; he was by this generous method of procedure, able to get rid of about 175 packages among the students and the members of the facul­ ty. A veritable colony of smokers we say! And that reminds us of the fact that a cigarette vendor has been installed in the smoking-room, and is to remain there under the condition that at least twelve packages must be sold daily. On the evening of November 7 a sort of “victory march” was held to celebrate the victory of the collegiate football team over Milton and that of the Prep team over Lutheran High. Buenger obtained the permission of the Police Department before the march down town was begun. About half of the band, and all those students of the dormitory who had not left town participated in the procession.

(Her-麥h On October 25 Irma Engel had the pleasure of being maid of honor at her sister’s wedding at Pardeville. Irma took off Monday to recuperate before returning to her duties at school. We are very sorry to state that Evelyn Schlesener was forced to discontinue her studies at Northwestern on account of the serious illness of her mother. Former Coeds who visited their Alma Mater in the past month include : Lillian Lutovsky, Myrtle Paap, Eleanor Stern, Erna Petig, and Ruth Bruesehoff. “Who’s he looking for ?M This with reference to a young man in a truck which had Concordia College printed on it in large letters. The truck was standing in front of the school at noon one day. The occupant thereof kept eyeing all of the Coeds leaving school. Finally Adele Nommenson came to the end of the College walk, gracefully ascended the means of transportation, and left the rest of us standing coldly. Now the question is: “What is his name?’’ We’ll find out sooner or later. Lillian Trapp had the opportunity of going to Winona on Oct. 24 to visit Vivian Engel ex ’33 who was seriously ill there. Since opportunity knocks but once she went. While there Ljllian had the pleasure of seeing Roy Stuhr a former classmate of hers. We again have a Mixed Chorus as in ^a^oudto membership this year is thirty, of which numbei I a P..say, twenty-one are girls. That means that over one-half of the Coeds belong to the chorus. Now girls, it is your duty to come to ^es®Te®k^aPter» tices and make something more than a laughing of the chorus as it has been for several years. ^ the boys have so kindly joined this oi’^nzatio^i . exist. Prof. Sitz has made every effort to make this thing a success. Lefs not make him and the boys spend th in vain, but let’s have a little cooperation and make tn y Mixed Chorus the best of all. , , 11/x Last month was the month of wiener and ^ roasts. Both preps and collegiates at different times widerea out to some deserted house or parts unknown and settiea aow" to enjoy a roasted Frankfurter in a bun. Several °L h d egiates had quite a bit of trouble lighting the fire. I J . given up all hopes and were ready to start toward S » when a hunter came to their rescue and revived the I 185

maining sparks. After having eaten and chatted for a while, the girls returned home having been delightfully pleased with their little outing. Here’s one for your diary: It seems impossible but it’s true that Anita Gewecke and Adele Herro were late for school the other morning. I believe I can say, if I am not wrong, that this is the first time this has ever happened to either of them during all their days at Northwestern. The rest of the Coeds believe that the guilty ones should be sincerely reprimanded. On the evening of Oct. 31 Vera Stube and Dorothy Dieter entertained several of the students at a Hallowe’en party at the home of Miss Stube. A Girls’ Gym Class has been organized and meets every Tuesday evening in the gym. Miss Betty Faber, our able leader, is trying to get us into shape by removing excess fat without any bodily harm. The girls enjoy this one evening a week very much and appreciate the fact that they are able to get some use out of the gym. Our annual Co-ed party was held on October 29. In the beginning of the evening_ some girls played Bridge, others Bunco, after which a very humorous program was given before the audience. To the tune of “Lohengrin’s Wedding March*1 played by Arline Schumann a bridal party ascended the stairs leading from the basement into the gym. Marie Michaelis leading the procession as parson, was followed by the little flower girl, Lorna Hutson, then the bridal couple, Lillian Tra as the groom, and Glenna Rasmussen the bride, and finally attendants Doroth Dieter as maid of honor and Vr”a Stube as the best man. The groom was dressed in military uniform and the bride in a flowing white gown. Her wreath which was made of Christmas tree tinsel was fastened to a veil made of a torn lace curtain. She carried a bouquet of imitatio i flowers. After a very short ceremony the guests partook of the food which the Refreshment Committee had so delightfully prepared. The girls left shortly after. They were pleased that the party had been such a great success.

Famous Last Words That was just by the way. But I can’t accept such ：an excuse. Your question is answered. Es kann beides sein. We should’ve got a gallon. * * * .About 8:30 o’clock a few evenings ago …i two of the maids noticed that someone with a light was prowling around the chicken-coop. “Chicken-Thieves!” was their verdict and with 188

a precision born of years of slinging crockery around the dining hall they rushed to the house of a nearby prof” who in their estimation would be the equal of any number of weak-minded chicken-thieves. They roused him with a few knocks on the door and had him hurrying in the direction of the chicken-coop. When the professor arrived at the scene of action, he per­ ceived that there was a light in the coop and what appeared to be men moving about. He noticed, furthermore, that a car was parked outside. He took the license-number of the car just in case and hitching- up his belt he approached the door. He opened it quickly and placed himself in the doorway to prevent any hurried exit. There was, however, no hasty exclamation or rush for the door as he had expected : instead a familiar voice called out a greeting. It was only Moses culling chickens. Whereupon the professor left somewhat disappointed. But other things were brewing meanwhile. The two maids had followed to the gate where they waited breathlessly. When nothing： stirred for some time they began to wonder if perhaps their cause wouldn’t do well with reinforcements so they rushed to the house of another prof, and explained the situation. He, too, rushed to the scene of action not at all loath to leave all . when duty called, He was still some little distance from the chicken-coop \yhen he heard footsteps ahead. He paused in mid-stride and listened — sure enough and they were coming his way. He stepped into the shadows and awaited the chicken-thief, for that’s what it undoubtedly must be, mused the prof. The steps came nearer. Then he could make out the figure of# the man. The siz2 banished any thought of violence he might have had. He decided on a safer method. Summoning all his force he shouted in as forceful and gruff a voice as he could: “Hey you ! What in the world are you doing h弓re.’’ The figure halted, then sizing up the situation replied in a cheerful tone, “0, good evening prof.—are you chasing chickenthieves too ?,J

THE TANNER Several years ago a friend of mine was running a group of boxers, and acting as manager and trainer. He had just adaecl a new boxer to his line who had never been in the ring in his life, but had been put in jail for beating up four heavy fellows in a tannery brawl. He looked as if he might have the makings of a good boxer, without a yellow streak in him. Chances for his success seemed fine. T ,, The night of his first fight he fought wonderfully. In thďźŒ fourth round he cut his opponent’s eye. Somehow this seemed to weaken his nerve. His trainer noticed this and at the end of the round he told him in just a few curt words that he wanted him. to pummel that eye. During the fifth round he, however, avoided hitting his opponent's head. The fight dragged on, round after round, until finally it was called a draw. The trainer was thoroughly disgusted and told him to go back to the tennery in the morning. He begged for another chance and after a time got it. , The night of his second fight, this one \yith Blake, a heavy and cruel fighter, he was saved by the bell in the third round as four was being counted over him. The manager and the 190

seconds dragged him to the stool in his corner and sponged and rubbed him. The bell rang for the fourth round. Just before he went out, the manager held a bottle of smelling salts under his nose. He jumped up, rushed over and hit Blake once. Blake’s knees wobbled. He hit him again. Blake went down. The seconds worked on Blake fully two minutes before he came to. After the fight I met his trainer and said, “Some come­ back!” “Skull work,” he replied, "Skull work, my boy!” “What do you mean?” . “Well,” he said, “You know that he was scared stiff that he would have to go back to the tannery if he lost.’’ 4'Yes, what of it?” “You saw him smell the salts before the bell?” “Yes,” I replied. "I had to remind him of the tannery! I went down to the tannery this afternoon and filled that bottle from one of the vats”. L.

It must have been warm, for otherwise Keturah Bangs would never have opened that large south window. The heat wasn’t the only thing that was bothering Keturah, for she was positively perishing with curiosity as she shoved and pulled at the window. Her twitching curious nose, and small black eyes, gave her much of the appearance of a rabbit. At last it was up. With a bird-like movement she popped her head out the window. _ . 4<Hm, so that new neighbor does keep chickens. Well, if they ever get into my currant patch, he won’t have them much longer, I can tell you.” Mumbling to herself, she further sur­ veyed his yard. . On the fresh green lawn a gardener was planting asters in orderly rows. Miss Bangs watched this process with critical interest, for a time, and then called out. “How on earth do you expect those asters to grow? Why don’t you plant them deeper? Don't you know that they，II all be long and spindly if you leave .them that way?” At this rapid fire of questions the man raised his head . in surprise, but quickly lowered it again, and went on planting. She tossed her head with a scornful sniff, and was just ready to flounce away, when the new neighbor who had heard the commotion, appeared from the rear of the house. Keturah had hardly focused her attention on him, when she caught sight of that odious and designing widow, Mrs. Briggs, waddling across the street. “Good afternoon, Mr. Davey” she panted somewhat out of breath，“I came to ask you if you’d have tea with me tomorrow afternoon?” . Keturah gasped—“So that’s her game, is it. Hm, the idea of trying to get him, before i’ve had a chance. Well, I’ll show her.” newSnhel^^^^ me on Thursday.** 192

Poor Mr. Davey, completely bewildered by this double onslaught, stammered, “Thank you, ladies, thank you. I accept both your invitations so that there won’t be any hard feelings.” Miss Bangs could hardly conceal her elation. If she had been a trifle younger, she would have stuck out her tongue at Mrs. Briggs. Instead she contented herself with squeezing up her mouth into an important looking knot, which was just as expressive. She began to plan .There were just three days in which to prepare. That table with the carved legs had to be taken down from the attic and moved into the parlor. It would harmonize well with the green plush chairs, and her lace antimacassars. She would take all those lovely shells, which her uncle had given her, and arrange them around the hair wreath. On the side­ board she could put the bowl of wax fruit with the glass coyer. At last everything had been arranged to her satisfaction. In the meantime she was using anti-pain liniment for her rheu­ matism, which had been troubling her. On Thursday evening, she was all dressed and ready, long before he came. Keturah in rusty black silk, and a frizzy curl­ ing-paper wave, met him at the door. “Walk right in, Mr. Davey, and have a chair, while I get the meal on the table.” He walked over to the most fragile of the chairs, and sat on the very edge of it, twisting his hat in his hands.

SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM To the minds of many people Socialism smacks of Com­ munism. Most people disapprove of Communism. Therefore they will not consider Socialism with justice. . Although Socialism and Communism have the same family tree, they are no more alike than monarchy and democracy. The outstanding difference is expressed in two words, property and capital. Property is what you own. Capital is what you use to acquire more property. If you own a house, that is property. If, however, you rent it out to others for profit, it ceases to be property and becomes capital. A million dollars may be pro­ perty, if it is used for one’s own enjoyment. If it is lent out at interest, it becomes capital. Communism is opposed to private property. Everything is to be owned by the community; everybody to receive his food, clothing, and other necessaries from the common storehouse and the common treasury. In return he must work for the community. Socialism leaves the property in private hands. The owner must not capitalize it or conduct:a business with it. 195

彖 W如Ctek ㈣j If you had a million dollars, under Communism you would be deprived of it and be placed on the same level as your neigh­ bor. However, under Socialism you would be permitted to keep or consume it as you saw fit, but not to use it for doing business. That is the theory. In practice Socialism does not oppose private business, as long as it is private, i. e” on a small scale with a healthy competition between the private owners and operators. It is only when the individual owners combine against the public, which means excessive prices to the con­ sumer and exiguous wages to the laborer, and thus lose the characteristic of a private enterprise, that Socialism would take the business away from the owners and give it to the community. Thus Socialism does not hinder anyone from becoming rich, while Communism does. Socialism does in no way hinder personal ambition or initiative; for anyone with these two qualities does not seek “get-rich-quick” methods which are possible under Capitalism. The laborer will be worthy of his hire, and no more. R. Hagedorn ’35 A COMMENTARY The criminal has led his victim out into the peaceful night, so cool, so dreary, and so dark. There the quiet is suddenly disturbed by a groan, uttered by someone who is in pain and sorrow. The felonious criminal has thrust his dagger deep into the heart of an innocent lover, to seek revenge for his loss in a recent love combat. But how much sweeter is the revenge sought on the culprit who the next morning is at the mercy of the judge and is beheaded. Is a composer not able to describe a scene of this kind in his composition? Music, by the means of |ts different melodies, harmony, and symphonies with all their elaborate movements, has the power to suggest emotions of love, rivalry, and combat. When a listener follows these strains carefully, are not progressions of emotions unfolded in him? This composition has been approved by the audience and applauded enthusiastically. . The concert band now offers nothing less than a charming serenade. Think of a night in June. There is a cool breeze from the west and the moon has just risen out of yonder hills. Young lovers are strolling- through the grass damp with dew, picking daisies. Daisies won’t tell! Let us now consider a person in the audience who has been listtening intently to the various numbers. Certain melodies, be it of an overture, a serenade, a waltz, or even a popular number, sketch scenes in his mind which haunt his memory through 196

decades, whereas, others merely penetrate the soul temporarily and are soon lost. Some frequently impress little episodes, which remain concious in the mind; things which occur at the time the melody was heard often cling to the spirit. Perhaps it would be well not to forget our chorals in this little commentary. Certainly they are forceful and many of them are perfect gems. Some have the power to express pain and sorrow, while others radiate joy and happiness. They teach us to forget our troubles and are often able to soften the hardest heart. I have never forgotten how in my earliest youth tears would moisten my cheeks, whenever father would play such chorals as the German “Wunderbarer Koenig or the German “Jerusalem, du hochgebaute Stadt”. Oh, woe to the man who lends no ear to music. He exists, but his purpose is most discolorful. There is no variation which breaks the monotony of his toils. He must live on as some irrational being, callous to one of the highest of the Creator’s gifts to man, the one that, besides the Gospel, of course, is the most sublime element entrusted to mortals. G. Ehlert *35 CHINA Every Chinese schoolboy knows of the outstanding states­ men and sages of America. However, not one American sJudfnt in ten thousand has ever heard of P’an Ku, Yao, Tang-, tne Han dynasty, Confucius, or Lao Tzu. In our extensive, thorough history courses, we study of the extinct nations of the Levant, because these nations contribute directly to the buildmg of modern Eur6pe. China did not disturb the West except rare instances, as when the Mongols and Huns, who had warded off by the Great Wall, were driven westward. The reverse is also true. The West left the East intact, and it thus the only nation now extant that traces back to ancient ti^nes. With so interesting and fascinating a country to read about and to study, should we await an edict from the Board of Education, which would make the study of Chinese history compulsory? _ Why not study China for its own sake? China is indisputably the oldest living nation. The 4000Book of History traces the dynasty of China back to the beginnings of history. Western nations began and ended, were torn apart with wars and revolutions, conquered and were conquered, but in China we see an unbroken, steady p rogress government, morals, and invention until 1500 A. D. Here thei^strong conservatism halted progress. The Chinese government was well under way for 500 years before the code of Hammurabi was made. The government 197

㈣J

came as near as is possible to perfection. The emperors that were not imbued with the idea that they ruled solely for the purpose of making the people happy and content, can be counted on the fingers. As the invaders were few, the Chinese devel­ oped mentally. When Confucius expounded his philosophy, it was comprehended and its doctrine followed, which is more than we can say of Socrates and his teachings. Indeed, if we judge works like Socrates’ and Confucius’ by their effect on the world at large, Confucius and his satellite, follower and expound­ er, Lao Tzu, are unquestionably greater than Socrates and Plato. We hear of no “Socratean” sect, while the followers of Confucius and Lao Tzu (Taoism) number 30,000,000 more than the followers of Pope Pius. That the Chinese were in advance of every country in morals can be seen in this, that while Alexander was dissipat­ ing in Babylon, the prohibition of intoxicating liquors was en­ forced for a time in China; that they were in advance in inven­ tions, by the fact that while Alexander was wending his way through the desert of Central Asia, the Chinese orientated themselves with compasses; that their art is highly deyeloped cannot be understood by a Westerner for he sees it through western eyes and seeks the underlying thoughts with a western mind. Thus we see that the Chinese, whom we call backward, because they do not use our wonderful machinery, were once the most progressive of peoples. Sol recommend to all students that they read, even if only cursorily, a book on China. A surprise awaits them. R. Hagedorn ’35

ALUMNI

—First of all we must correct a mistake. The first alumni note in last month’s issue should read as follows: “A baby girl, Ruth Anne, was born to Inspector and Mrs. Kleinke, N. W. C., Watertown, Wis” on November 22. Mr. Kleinke is a member of Class ’24.” This bit of news was given to the printers by telephone just before the paper went to press. The name was evidently misunderstood. —On November third Dr. George Mezger, a professor at the Theologische Hochschule of Zehlendorf, Germany, went to his eternal rest. Dr. Mezger is not an alumnus of our institution. In 1922, at the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the first graduation class, Northwestern College, however, conferred the title of Dr. of Philosophy upon him. —Walter Bunge, ex ’33, of Milwaukee, visited several classes of his former classmates on November 11. —Herbert Kuhlow, ex 733 of Jefferson, was in Watertown for the Jefferson-Watertown football game. —Gerhard Struck, ’30, has also decided to take up the study of theology. He joined the ranks at our seminary but a few weeks ago. —Frederick Gilbert, ’28，of Milwaukee, visited with tutor Redlin, his classmate, at the beginning of last month. —Oscar Hammen, ’29, played football at Watertown on No­ vember 22. He plays with the West Bend eleven. —A baby boy was born to the Rev. and Mrs. Theodore Bauer, Akaska, S. Dakota, on November 13. 一Martin Zilz, ’28, of the University, was seen in the dormitory on November 25. 一John Dahlke, ’31，of- the Seminary, came here on November 25. In the ev ening he accompanied Cornelius Trapp, his class­ mate, to the latter’s home in Hartland. Having participated of the “thanksgiving turkey”，he returned to Northwestern in the evening. Here he met the Rev. R. Lederer,，10, of Green Bay. Rev. Lederer had brought his son back after the thanks­ giving vacation. Green Bay was Mr. Dahlke，s destination; so Rev. Lederer had the pleasure of taking Mr. Dahlke along. 199

Next Mr. Reginald Siegler gave us some facts about the game of golf.

The program was concluded by a light dialogue “Ab ovo usque ad mala”. Mr. W. Dobratz and Mr. H. Gieschen who carried on this dialogue succeeded in evoking many a laugh. Mr. Benjamin Hahm, the master of ceremonies, unified the whole program with his introductory remarks to each of the numbers. Prof. W. Schumann was critic for the evening. He appre­ ciated the humor element in Mr. Hahm’s program. But he warned the Literary Societies against letting the programs degenerate to mere entertainment. President E. Kowalke en­ couraged the societies to the same effect.

Since this is the Freshies’ number, the Exchange takes this occasion to wish them a most enjoyable Christmas vacation and a maximum of stomach-aches. The Luther College Visitor reports a concert given by the Welsh Chorus. The thought of leaving school for the Christmas vacation with enchanting chords of those singers as companions almost makes our cerebral fibers quiver. Utinam ! Utinam ! Can we not still hear the vanishing echoes of last spring ? Mr. Dreiser would suffer rather severe wounds if he were to bare himself to the pin-pointed javelins of sarcasm shot at him in an editoral entitled, “Dreiser, the Dreamer’’，in the St. Joseph's Collegian. The writer should be congrratulated on the clarity of his description. We display a few of his darts: “Dreiser was born with a zest for life. He dreamed and longed for the things that he could not possess, and because his energy was consumed in dreaming, he lacked the force, if not the will, to make the best of things at hand”.一“His fancy conjured up scenes of splendor and distinction with Dreiser as the nucleus, as the focal point of many an admiring pair of eyes — mostly feminine. For in some vague way were not reporters and Shakespeare and Dante all of the same distinguished brother­ hood V}—“His dream of life corresponded exactly to his concep­ tion of an artist’s life. Virtues became inhibitions, and inhi­ bitions were things to be discarded’’.一 And the last mortal shaft: “The real tragedy of *An American Tragedy* is that of the author himself.,,I 203

“The future of the world”，said Dr. Hoffman, “seems to hang between two philosophies, both of Jewish origin — the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Communism of Karl Marx.” (The Aii^shur^ Kclio，Nov. 19) 4'There is a new anti-Semitic feeling in Europe, especially in Germany. In Poland the Jews use the name of Jesus to scare the children into good behavior.” (Somehow, we don’t like the association of this last with 'Hannibal ante portas1) American schools are also discrimi­ nating against Jewish students.” He mentions two books which indicate that the Jews are making a new appraisal of Jesus. The final quotation is a glowing condemnation of the Christian : “The Jews are coming to the front in all lines of endeavor at present, and it is important that the Christian churches throw open their doors to this people, so that they may come in contact with evangelical Christianity.” But remember that they possess several very unlikable character­ istics. And other peoples are perfect! — Moreover, their fore­ fathers rejected the Son of God. Yes — they —did. And because they spit upon the Lord, the Christians of today, “the elect of God’’，spit upon their descendants! And in the colleges they figo and do likewise” to Hebrew youths who usually be­ long in the aristocracy of the intellect From the same number of the Kclio we hear that on Nov. 14 a program was broadcasted on behalf of the liberal arts colleges of America. President Hoover was one of the speakers. We read that ‘‘the purpose of this nation-wide program was to present to the American people the value of the liberal arts colleges, and their place in the educational, social, and economic life of the country.” Tlu* Slentor of Nov. 21 informs us that our old enemy. Lake Forest, lost two out of their six football games this year, tied three, and won one. And much blood was spilled to wrest the prize from Beloit, 7—6. The last few minutes of the fight must have tightened the nerves of the Forest rooters, for Beloit slashed their way for three successive first downs, and stood threatening on the 15-yard line when the whistle blew. Since Coach Mac Intosch will lose only three letter men, his 1932 prospects are very good. The Capital Chimes presents a sharp editorial that is of special interest. The writer of “Ethics in the Machine Age” says : “By the double standard in ethics is meant one code of This ethics to be professed and another to be practised, dualism in ethics is but the partial manifestation of a principle deeply rooted in the very nature of men. ‘ The unfailing universal functioning of this principle gives 204

us this singular paradox : a logical world operating with respect to purely psychological law. Its vicious machinery is directly responsible for all war, is at the root of all crime, and it is to a great extent at the bottom of the present economic depression. — —Most of modern men’s misdeeds are traceable to a single cause,----unenlightened self-interest. ’ ’ Milton’s new president, Jay William Crofoot, was formally inaugurated on Nov. 24. Gov. La Follette was one of the speakers at the ceremonies. Many Wisconsin college presiidents also attended. A bit of humor from the Hcvicw: “There’s the fifty thousand acre estate of my girl friend.”一 “No wonder you worship the ground she walks on”.

The squad has been divided in­ to two divisions, one under Kleinke and the other under the direction of a student athlete, Harold Haefner. The A-squad consists of three letter men, four other players from last yeaj*’s squad, and five newcomers. The letter men are Capt. Martin, forward, Harke, forward, and Zimpelmann, forward. In this trio Northwestern has a group of capable floor workers as well as accurate shots. The players from last year’s squad who saw action in one or more games are Schewe, Nommensen, Gensmer, 子nj Schultz. Schewe seems destined to inherit “Roy” Stuhr*s job at guard, while Nommensen should see considerable action center. The group of newcomers are McGowan, Fredricks, pabe, Biesmann, and Witt. Me Gowan has already proved himself worthy as a capable forward, and Fredricks should rV? °P into a valuable addition to the squad during the course of the year. On December 4 the squad was given its first test against outside competition when it engaged Watertown high school in ? afternoon practice game. Northwestern was pressed to the limit to emerge with a 30—22 victory. Although they led at half 13—5, they soon saw their lead dwindling away. The high school boys showed great skill in shooting successfully from behind the free throw line, and soon were out in front 19—18. Finally Northwestern’s fast breaking offense began to function, and in a few minutes the Black and Redmen took the lead, 30—22, which they held until the closing whistle.

Northwestern took an early lead when Harke dropped in a neat overhead shot for two points. From then on the Goslings played an accurate game, while the Teachers handled the ball poorly, travelled frequently, and made numerous fouls. Capt Martin and Harke seemed at home in the new house, shooting successfully from any angle of the floor. The Peds were able to move into the lead momentarily as Van Dale slipped in a long shot late in the first half. A gift shot by Raabe and a side bucket by Harke gave the Black and Redmen a 15—12 advantage as the first period ended. In the second half the Peds began to find themselves. Their defense, which early in the game permitted the North­ western forwards to slip away for easy lift-in shots, stiffened. Their short passes very often worked the ball into scoring position. With about 6 minutes left to play Van Dale and Gother entered the game. In short order these two boys made three baskets to put the Peds out in front. Northwestern fought hard, but was unable to overcome the opposition. Van Dale and Ernst were the outstanding players for the Milwaukeeans, while Capt. Martin and Harke proved the most effective for Northwestern. The Goslings had over 20 chances from the foul line, but were unable to count for more than 10.

In the opening tilt of the Inter^lass basketball tournament the Senior class, led by Orval Kreie, defeated the Juniors in a thrilling game by the score of 20—17. Besides playing a stellar game, Kreie took first place in the scoring honors with 16 points. 208

Seniors—18; Freshmen—8. On December 7 the Freshmen were vanquished by the Seniors, 18—8, in a hard-fought battle, Kreie again was the main spring in the Senior strength, collec­ ting a total of 12 points. Schroeder was the most effective of all the Freshmen. With this victory the Seniors have annexed two games to date and appear the strongest aggregation in the collegiate department. Junior---- 27; Sophomores-----10. The Juniors made a spirited comeback after their first defeat and snatched a 27—10 victory from the Sophomores. Liesener and Maas, Buch and Knoll did the best work for the Juniors, while R. Lemke and W. Schultz turned in the best performances for the Sophs. Tertia---- 16; Quarta-----10. Tertia was able to edge out a 16 10 victory over the Quarta basketeers, but was forced to some hard work to accomplish the task. Both teams did some nice guarding, which forced the shots from behind the free throw line. Quinta---- 23; Sexta---- 10. Quinta took an early lead against the Sextaners and held the advantage from then on to the close of the game. Schumann headed the scoring list with 17 points. An Open Letter. Black and Red Athletic Editor: At this time of the year the daily newspaper is hardly complete without the selection of some All-Star Team, whether it be of the most diminutive conference or of the entire United States, whether it be in the high school, college, university or professional sphere. Below you have an All-Star Team, but somewhat differ­ ent—an All-Northwestern Football Team of the last ten sea­ sons. The men selected have all been seen in action by. the selectors, and, therefore, not hearsay or any so often prejudiced and, consequently, unreliable written reports, but actual play and value to .the team proper have moved us to place them in their respective positions on this All-Star Team. We feel confident that___ our selection of Nieman, whom we also name as captain of this mythical team, Kuske, Hammen, and Roloff on the first team admits of no questioning. Concerning the remaining men on the first team we concede room for argument, but their ability, considered from every angle, we consider of a higher caliber than that of their closest competitor. 209

[Signed] Two interested alumni. We wish to thank the “two interested alumni” for sending this letter to the Black and Red, and we would certainly appreciate to hear the voice and opinion of others in regard to athletics at Northwestern. A school is sure to value the interest of others who find opportunities to give suggestions and support their enterprises as far as this is possible. It is this interest and spirit that we desire to see prevalent in all of our students and alumni. As far as the selection of the All-Northwestern Foot­ ball Team is concerned, we believe the selection has been made in serious consideration of all facts. As mentioned in the letter, some of the selections might cause a disagreement, but on the whole we consider it a good selection. The letter also expressed the wish that an All-Time All-Northwestern Team might be chosen. This task would be a very difficult one since there are so many vague and indecisive elements to be taken into consideration. One could not overlook the fact that the game as it is played today is entirely different from the one played in the late nineties. In a highly individua­ lized sport this might be possible, but in football there is no positive mathematical factor tangible. It is the team as a unit which is important and the spirit which welds it together that spells victory or defeat. Nevertheless, we thank the senders, and hope others will send in their suggestions and comments, nott only concerning athletics, but also other material pertaining to theB Black and Red. 210

f♦-每丽^㈣撕气3 Gieschen, A. Schultz, B. Hahm and H. Meyer. On the previous day, November 13, Radloff, Liesener, E. Frederich, and A. Schultz saw the presentation of Julius Caes ar. On the evening of November 13 Buenger set a precedent in the Junior class by inviting his classmates and roommates to a ‘‘feed’’ in commemoration of his birthday. Gieschen followed Buenger’s noble example by a similar event on November 30. ‘‘A right noble custom,” say the Juniors ! New curtains have made their appearance in the office of the gymnasium, in the reading-room, and in the tutor’s office. Whence they came or who was the kind donor, has baffled the inquiring students until now. On November 20 Dobberstein, a Quintaner, underwent an operation of the nose. Recovery was slow at first, but by this time he is up to normal again. ‘•Wally’’ Dobratz has actually managed to stay out of Hoepner’s room for more than a week. But during that time “Foggy” Buch made up for it, so Hoepner was no better off anyway. “ftuds” Fredricks and “Reggy” Siegler “shagged” to Bangor recently. On the way down they were overtaken by dark at Mauston, and on the way back the same misfortune befell them at Columbus; from there they were transported back to school by the kind intervention of Rev. Nommensen. Incidently, the south end of the second-floor hall has enjoyed a quiet and peaceful intermission in Siegler’s clarinet practice, since he happened to break a key on his instrument The astronomy class has finally been approved of by the faculty. Membership is limited to Juniors and Seniors, and now totals six in all. They meet once every week to study the planets and stars under the guidance of Prof. Eickmann. . Perhaps no one among the students takes a greater interest in the affairs and welfare of his home city than A1 Maas. . Why, just recently he relieved himself (or was relieved !) of his con­ tribution to the building of the series of new public buildings in Milwaukee. ^ Indulging his innate passion for football, Buenger saw a number of outside games this fall. Among them were the Wisconsin-Ohio game, at Madison, and the Marquette-Creighton game, at Milwaukee. , Not long ago Scheck killed four mice, three of which he found in Geiger’s locker; the other had eaten about half of one of Mr. Scheck’s own shirts. Several days thereafter Scheck appeared wearing a wing collar. We wonder whether there is any connection! “Foggy” Buch and “Lizzy” Liesener spent the Sunday before Thanksgiving at Liesener，s home. The following Sunday Liese212

ner’s sister and a girl-friend of hers (?) visited them at college. Natiirlich! On December 1 many of the students attended the lecture given by Sam Miller at Trinity church. Mr. Miller is a fullblooded Indian, the last chief of the Mohicans, and his lecture was greatly enjoyed by all present.

There has been renewed interest in the Body Beautiful. Mrs. Kiessling, much to the delight of the girls, has promised to conduct the future gym meetings. Now watch the biceps develop at an astonishing rate of speed. At last, the Freshman to the foreground. The Freshwomen, as a matter of course, desire an introduction. Classi­ fying these necessary articles according to race, color, and dimension, we begin with the largest and most rotund, namejy, Dorothy Dieter, weight 16 carat; very well acquainted with the latest song hits. She is always shadowed by the ever in­ separable Vera Stube, who shares her friend’s passion for any tunes. It is rumored that the delight of their lives, and the bane of our existence, is Rudy Vallee. Next in line comes our Irish Colleen, Eleanor Coogan : Evidently we are not the only ones who appreciate blue-black hair. (Hair, is it singular or plural ?) Numbered among the smaller and daintiest is Fannie Katsfuros, who is linguistically inclined. Just ask the Latin students! No, Fannie is not a friend of ponies. Her hair is the color of old mahogany, and is the envy of all those who were not so fortunately blessed. Next comes our sweetest and our dearest, Lorna Hutson. Her unfailing good humor has made her pet of the collegiate room.

It had started with a dull Pain 1 :Dread, That was several years ago. The disease tree, until the germs had nearly sucked the life blood out of the tiee^ Wierever the germs reached, the tissues died. The like a cancer. There seemed to be no cure. . r uen All the brothers and sisters of theElm had long mto rot and decay. Their remains had gradually d PPQ^ag hest into the greedy soil. Now the old tree realized tna on the edge of the grave. It knew that its happie dayYeSse on'years the old tree had watched life of^the animals, birds, and men, who passed under its wjde P d | boughs day in and day out. Nearly all came into life fre strong. In their youth they frolicked about and seemed to be having a good time. Gradually each one settled down to tne 218

grim battle of life. Then as the years passed on they would become older and weaker, until finally the old tree would no longer see them pass by under its boughs. It now lay back seeing in fancy the years roll by. The old tree recalled the days when the Indian messengers, smeared with paint, had sped by on their swift journey to hostile tribes, bearing messages sometimes of war, sometimes of peace. Often the Indian squaws had laid their little papooses under the pro­ tecting boughs of the old tree, and, stirred by feelings of re­ sponsibility the Elm had watched alertly over the sleeping ones. At other times Indian lovers strolled or lolled in the shade of the bushy branches. One day several men came and cut down many brothers and sisters of the Elm. After a space had been cleared, a little building was built near the old tree. This little building was named Northwestern University, and it was a preparatory school for those wishing to study Lutheran theology and to pre­ pare for the ministry. From this time on many young men and young women p assed under the wide-spreading boughs of the Elm. At first it had been a favorite sport of the boys to see who could climb farthest into the lofty branches of our old friend, but soon certain people, anxious concerning the limbs of the tree, put a stop to this. Bright and early each morning the town students came to this school. The tree always had a pleasant good morning and smile for them. The old Elm seemed to take a motherly fancy to all the students who passed beneath her boughs. This pro­ cession was a welcome change to the dreary stationary routine of the tree’s life. In spring the students donned bright colors and gay faces.. This amused the wise old fellow, as he knew the thoughts of the students were upon that long summer vacation. It became sad, however, with the thoughts of those long, lonely summer months ahead of it. On the spring evening's, according to the old formula that, “In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, ’’ the tree could dimly discern pairs of lovers ambling slowly down the arbored walk. Often the lovers would sit beneath the sheltering boughs of the old Elm itself. Then the tree would be glad, because it could then bend an at­ tentive ear and catch the muted love notes of the pair. In summer the old tree was always very lonesome. After 尹11 the excitement among the students, caused by the approachi^g vacation, the world seemed dead and drear, even though all tne world rejoiced in that splendid season. The tree, however, did not have much time for sorrow. It had another task on its hands. The young of the birds which nested in the dense branches often were left alone. Then the old tree felt that its 219

I duty was to protect the little fledglings. The birds helped very muich to while away the hours. Their sunset songs pleased the Elm. Then the fall came, the time for which the tree had been waiting. How happy it was to see and recognize the old familiar faces of returning students. It felt sad, however, when it discovered some missing, but there were always a great number, whose acquaintance the old Elm was eager to make. It was a happy time of the year for the old tree. It again saw bright colors flashing here and there on the campus. The foot­ ball parades and other festivities brightened its life. It looked on, as the students on Hallowe’en played their mischievous pranks, but it never told what it knew. Old Man Winter was soon on his way. He stripped the covering from the boughs of the giant tree and it was at first ashamed of its nudeness until it noticed the looks of admiration from all its friends. The Elm is never more beautiful than . during the winter. Those powerful, black shaggy arms with their white sleeves of snow are a sight to marvel at. In winter the graceful muscles and curves of the tree may be clearly seen. There is strength and ruggedness in those widespread boughs. No wonder it had kept itself vital and alive these two hundred years! Yet it is beautiful too. No Christmas tree with its artificial tinsel and gaudy lights can ever equal the naked beauty of it dreamed of the warm sap which would pulse through it 'emThustheSoldnEim recalled the parade of the seasons through many happy years.

CALENDAR REFORM Many kinds of calendar reforms have been proposed to the League of Nations in the past year, amounting to a total of nearly 200. Many of these were at once regarded as impractic­ able and useless, and many varied only slightly from each other in form. Only two have become outstanding and very much debated. They are: the 13-month calendar, in which each month would have exactly four weeks, and the 12-month calendar, like our present one, except for a readjustment in the length of the various months so that each month would have exactly the same number of working days. The latter is the so-called “World Calendar° plan, backed by the World Calendar Association. The main arguments against the 13-month plan are the commercial and economic disturbance which would arise in business transactions both public and private, and the intro­ duction of the number 13 for that of 12. Investigations show that the 12-month plan has five suporters to every one for the 13-month plan. The following are some of the advantages gained by the 12-month plan: The adoption of the 44World Calendar” plan would automatically put into effect England’s legislation of a fixed Easter. By a fixed Easter is meant an Easter which would vary only from April 9 to April 15 instead of from March 22 to April 25 as at present. The present Gregorian Calendar is attacked on the grounds that its months are not comparable, stable, and regular. The new calendar would be balanced in structure and perpetual in form. It would retain the number 12 which is a multiple of halves and quarters and is a number much simpler mathema­ tically than the number 13. Moreover there would still be the 3-month quarters, the first month of which would have 31 days and the next two 30 days. The odd 365th day of every year would be considered as an extra Saturday between December 30th and January 1st, tabulated on the calendar as December Y (Year-Day) while the 366th day every fourth year would be designated as Leap-Day and fall between June 30th and July 1st. Year-Day and Leap-Day would be considered by the United States as holidays. January 1st would always fall on a Sunday. , Ihis revised form of twelve months would not be working contrary to any natural laws and would synchronize with the four seasons. Comparisons could be still more exact than they are now. Religious and secular holidays would not be interfered with but only made stationary. ' The greatest drawback to the adoption of the 13-month calendar would be the consequent upheavel caused by incon­ veniences and the breakdown of universal habits which are difficult to change. V. Tiefel ，34 221

SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD (A story that is true.) The Rev. J. R—，the city missionary, was sitting in his quiet study one Saturday evening after supper. He often sat there merely to digest his meal and to muse. As he was thus sitting in the twilight and shadow of the sinking sun, the thought arose in him that he had not had a call for mission that day; that he had lived through a whole day without helping some wretched soul. This was something unusual. “Surely something must happen before night falls.” And he began to wonder and wait for—he did not know what. Then the door-bell rang. “Just as I thought，” he remarked to himself, and went to the front door. He swung the door 'vide open, and bade the man a hearty welcome. The man at the door was very tall and broad-shouldered. He wore a cap and slip-over sweater. When the pastor asked him to come in, the man replied, "If you knew who I am, you would not ‘invite me to enter your house,\ 4 ‘Well, ’’ the pastor exclaimed, * ‘Come in any'vay”. He led him into his study, asked him to sit down, and brought up his usual question: “And what can I do for you?” The stranger stated that he had not yet had supper. Mr. J. R—, being accustomed to such visitors, said, 4 That is easily brought up;’’ and he went to the kitchen, where his wife was just washing the dishes, and called, “Supper for one!” It seemed to be the established formula to announce the presence of just another unexpected guest. He then returned to the room, where his evening caller was sitting, and sat down in his own chair and asked him a few questions, which were charac­ teristic of his missionary work. The man was a *‘bad one,’’ as he boldly confessed, and didn’t care for church life. But the one thing the stranger could not understand was, how a pastor could treat a man of his type with such cordiality. Mr. J. R— told him that he was treating him as only a Christian could be expected to treat his fellowman. Christ did not only receive [he strong in spirit, but also the heavy laden. “Therefore^” he said, “he shows everyone the same hospitality.” And he told him, "Before you leave this house, I will give you something more valuable than a supper; I will give you the Gospel of Jesus. ” Supper was called; and the man was conducted to thedming room. He sat down to his assigned place, and the Rev. J. spoke the benediction. Then the children came in rather timidly to sit in the family circle. The father, in accordance with his manner, gave the stranger an introduction to his family and then entertained him throughout the meal. The man continued eating and didn’t say a word. When he had finished his 222

supper, the pastor said grace and read a Scripture passage—the two malefactors on the cross. He pointed out to his^ man how Jesus also died for the repentant malefactor on His right. “So also has Jesus died for your sins. All you must do is to be re­ pentant and believe.” The man didn’t say a word. After the devotion was finished, the stranger rose. He stepped into the kitchen, and, addressing the pastor’s wife, said with a neat bow, “Madam, your meal was beyond criticism.” Then he was in a hurry to leave. The gracious pastor gave him a cigar and asked him to sit down for a while and talk. But the strange caller said rather nervously (but still courteously), ^Sir, I must be about my business. If you only knew what my mission is, you would urge me to go as soon as possible. ” Although Mr. J. R— was very hospitable, yet he never imposed on his callers; and so he replied, ‘‘if you must be going about your business, as you say, I do not want to keep you; though I would enjoy your company/* . “No thanks, I must be going now, *' and he took long strides to the door. The tall, broad-shouldered man stood on the threshold and gave a loud, shrill whistle with his two forefingers. Six strong men marched down the street and passed the parsonage. The stranger turned around and said to the pastor, “I have given them the ‘High-ball，to pass by. Your house was scheduled to be robbed tonight.” F. Weyland，34

JAZZ **Boom-lay, Boom-lay, Boom-lay, BOOM!” The theme song of the first jazz orchestra reechoed through the swampy reaches of the Congo in darkest Africa. The dancers whirled in a frenzy, yelling hijah, whoopee! The guest of honor tugged at his bonds and groaned, and the jazz orchestra was complete with its crooner. Jazz may have been developed to this stage before the Greeks thought of scales, but it developed no farther for a matter of three of four hun­ dred years. It was in 1895 that a negro appeared in a cafe m New Orleans with a new rhythm, a development of syncopation, which he called ‘‘new music” and which soon acquired the appellation “rag-time”. This style of rhythm was welcomed by inusicians of the age, and several charming numbers were written in it, among which is the “Gollywogs Cakewalk” by Debussy. Soon the writers of popular songs began to commer­ cialize rag time, and the world was one step closer to our niodern jazz. The real jazz came into vogue in 1914, with the development of some new dance steps. These steps and the music went through various changes and finally developed into what we have today. 224

anlt

The term^jazz *is at present used for all dance music in general. This term is incorrect, for there is a great difference between the semi-classical numbers such as “Gypsy Love Song” 01，“Trees”，and real jazz. Paul Whiteman, the “king of Jazz，” says: “You may stick on counter melodies like the barber shop quartets; you may call off imaginary figures, yell ‘hot dog* in the midst of some perfectly decorous dance, and make a donkey of yourself generally. That is jazz.” The term, jazz, therefore, should apply only to the **Boop-boop-adoop” style of music. Because true jazz, and semiclassical numbers are so closely related in development, and because both represent and express the same thing, we shall consider jazz as standing for dance music. Jazz owes much of its popularity to an auspicious introduc­ tion, for it was brought into the world just as the money in­ terests were looking for something to capitalize, and jazz was chosen. Soon after its adoption, the radio became common and was used as another means of advertising it. By means of the radio, jazz was forced into the home, and since the dance steps for which it was used were simple, many people welcomed it, while others by repeated hearing, grew accustomed to it. Jazz is an expression, in the form of music, of a mechanical age. The main reason for this statement lies in the very mechanical rhythm of the music, and in the monotony of ex­ pression. There seems to be an inconsistency between this statement and the statement that jazz is a development of African tribal music, for the tom-tom surely was not an expres­ sion of the mechanical age. The only thing that we can say is that the music that formerly expressed superstitious fear, voodooism and savagery has now become the musical expression of a land of riveters, player-pianos, automobiles, and machine-guns. The fact that there is a relationship between jazz and African tribal music might be considered as a sign of relationship in mentality and emotions between the American jazzhound and the African savage, but that is not necessarily the case. Most likely it is mere coincidence that the two express them­ selves similarly. The claim for relationship between African tribal music and American jazz becomes very real if we trace the descent of jazz. The main claim, of a course, lies in th.e fact that a negro intropuced rag-time, the direct ancestor of jazz. Another clai m lies m t— importance of the banjo in the jazz orchestra, for the banjo is an African instrument, originally called banio. Finally the negro spirituals come into consideration. Their adaptability to a jazz orchestra is not a mere coincidence. The spiritual is undoubtedly the transition between African tribal music and American jazz. 225

The question concerning the value of jazz has been the sub­ ject of many debates. It is certain that the “boop-a-doop” type has no value other than amusement and to provide a substitute for music to people who are not able to appreciate real music. Of course, this does not mean that any one who appreciates **St Louis Blues,” “Tiger Rag,’’ or “Eccentric” is an imbecile, for after a long program of “Largoes” a “Blue” provides a pleasant change, just as the comic section of the Sunday paper is a relief after a visit to an art gallery. Jazz has one redeeming feature, besides its ability to amuse. It has a musical value in that it has brought melodies into existance that are really beautiful. We grant that these melodies almost without exception are not true jazz, but semiclassical, but we must also admit that we owe their existence to jazz, for they were written in most cases by composers who write only for money. These melodies do not owe their effect to a bizarre grouping of instruments, but are beautiful in themselves, and will very likely in the future be considered among the classics of today. Jazz has therefore a value in that it has given us some fine melodies, and it will undoubtedly give us something still better in years to come. Time only can show this. We should tolerate it, then, if not for its value as an amusement or for what it has done in melody, then at least for the value it may possibly have in the future. R. Siegler ’34 AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. The prevailing notion appears to be that bridge is an honor­ able and very, very virile game. I still contend that bridge is a form of indolence, both physical and mental. That it is a form of physical laziness is beyond a doubt. Why should society be interested in it? If sitting at a table and exerting only enough energy to transfer a card from your hand to the center of the table is bodily exercise, I’m being overworked when I turn out my light. . What mental worth can anyone derive from bridge? Some say that it trains the memory. To be able to keep in mind who played each card, when, where, and why, he did, is a feat. Re­ membering such things, however, burdens our minds with quite useless brain-lumber. If there is such a thing as a sixth sense, bridge might possibly aid in developing that. Suppose you g^ess that the player to your left or right, as the case may be, holds a certain card; suppose your finessing is successful. You believe that you have executed quite a brilliant bit of play. Most bridge hands depend upon luck. Take up some of the hands that have been played by experts. You will find them quite dependent upon Dame Fortune plus a few rules, not always hard and fast. 226

Concentration is frequently referred to as one of the benefits of bridge. Observe a few of the bridge addicts whenever oppor­ tunity presents itself. The nearest approach to concentration, that I have discerned is a look of absent-mindedness. Of course one may put his hand to his head, wrinkle his brows and endeav­ or to act as if he were under a strain. It isn’t the concentration. It’s the consequence of a hopeless rummaging in a cluttered attic for lost cards and plays. The vocabulary acquired isn’t worth writing home about. If the count of a group of observers is to be taken at its face value, an average of eighty-six and one-half different words is employed by each individual in the course of an ordinary game. Some peo­ ple may be able to raise their average to a hundred by the add­ ition of such adjectives as; “astute,” “brilliant,” “beautiful,” “6XC6ll6Ht,” 6tc.

.

In consideration of the above-mentioned facts we must infer that the mental effort put forth is not taxing the mind too much. Indolence has no good results; neither has bridge. It’s a form of mental slothfulness. After a bridge game has passed into history, as far as actual play is concerned, it has by no means disappeared from the individual’s mind. Wrong plays are rehearsed with such expressionsas: If you’da played the kiag： that time, we’da made gajne;” “Why didn’t you raise me?’’ “Didn’t you have no­ thing over there?” Quite enlightened, not? Brilliant plays are applauded; very often by the player himself. Although the person may not ponder the game so very much, its effect is no­ ticeable for a considerable time later. All ambition for work has disappeared. Bridge has come to be considered, not as a light — novel .or newspaper article, but as a textbook. It becomes one’s daily “workout,” not his recreation. Some learned people contend that they can single out a bridge player by taking note of his manners and use of language. However, that’s a little beyond me. That bridge is enervating cannot be denied. If living in an atmosphere of cigarette smoke is beneficial, I fail to preceive its salutary effects. If groups of hoboes, wandering jews, vag­ rants, ‘‘scum of the earth,” can be seen enjoying themselves with this game, I don’t consider the value of bridge far above that of such followers. ^ Whenever the seducing call “Bridge hand open” spreads its insidious influence abroad, mingled feelings of compassion and admiration seize me; compassion for the poor victim who has allowed himself to be deluded and grasped the opportunity ;admirtion for those who have resisted nobly and withstood the tempta­ tion. The will-power of the individual who has just extricated himself from this one of Lucifer’s cleverly-laid snares merits praise. C. Toppe，34 227

Wicke ’34 A Plea For Social Gatherings Another Christmas vacation lies in the past, and, as va­ cations are apt to do, it has left memories of some happy events or experiences which make holidays very welcome. Do we think of school life in that light while we are enjoying the vacations? Can we talk about Northwestern so as to make an outsider wish that he were going to that school? The various programs, concerts and athletic activities are insufficient in themselves to bring all students of every department into better understanding with each other, and our games are gladly avoided as a topic in conversation, Last Christmas, however, pleasant thoughts about Northwestern lingered in the memories of many students. On the night before school closed, the usual Christmas program took place. Appropriate hymns and . carols were sung, and a delightful luncheon was served. This was followed by a well chaperoned party under able guidance. This phase of the program was spontaneous and rather surprising; but enjoyable nevertheless, and much has been said about having more parties of that nature. Since balls and prome­ nades disagree with the principles of this school and are out of the question, why not have a few social gatherings during the school year? The benefits are obvious, for a more congenial spirit would be created among the boys and girls of this in­ stitution, and it would develop personality. School life, at least, would be made more attractive. Students often complain about stepping out into the world with so little social experience behind them. Here is the chance of remedying the situation! Let us give it a trial! 0. Lemke *34 MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO ‘，‘Bend down sister, bend down sister, if you want to get Yes, girls, exercise is still as important as ever, in spite gf all threats to the contrary. Since it is necessary in some 色r^n or other, it is best faced squarely and taken in the form of hiking, skating, skiing, swimming, tennis, golf, or basketball, as the seasons permit. 229

Perhaps those who are just a little unwilling to exert them­ selves, or who feel that their days and nights are too crowded with matters of more importance, will be inclined to dispute or deny the advisability of physical exercise. We must all admit that a healthy mind and a healthy body are two of the most im­ portant requisites of an attractive woman. How can these be acquired more easily than by exercise, perferably in the open air? Our bodies naturally become stronger through contact with nature, and we see that our minds must increase in readi­ ness to grasp new ideas. Our thoughts are diverted from the realities of every-day life, we forget our problems and live in the appreciation and enjoyment of the hour at hand. When we return to our work we do so with new problems, and a body which is able to stand the strain of long hours of labor. _ It has been stated, and even believed by some, that with the return of femininity the athletic girl will necessarily be out of style. Not at all! Exercise will always remain one of the necessities of our lives. How can we, who have tasted the joy of long hikes through the autumn woods, and wiener roasts in the snow and the thrill of a well executed swan dive or ski jump, be content to sit in a chair with our hands folded while the more hardy members of the opposite sex unfold to us their stories of adventure and athletic proficiency. It is an impos­ sibility for a healthy American girl of 1932 to be satisfied by this second-hand information. She demands action and per­ sonal experience. . Sports also provide ample opportunity for the cultivation of informal and comradely friendships, so necessary to modern life. There are very few people who will feel uncomfortable and ill at ease in a surrounding of woods and water. On the other hand, gin bucks, cock-tails, and other “modern improve­ ments*1 do not fit into the picture at all; they are therefore eliminated. Most girls are easily divided into two classes: those who hijce and those who don’t. The girls who hike do so, I think, solely because of the enjoyment it gives them, without a thought oi the numerous benefits derived as by-products. Those who don’J; hike may again be divided into two classes: the very studious, who have no time to waste on athletic pursuits; and the very frivolous, who are much too busy with a multitude of utterly unimportant things to bother with anything so tame as hiking. Their idea of exercise is to step on the gas, or to dance. .Jt is readily seen that sports would help both classes, The niinds of the studious would be drawn away from their books, 緊ying their nerves a rest and their bodies a chance to develop, fhe other class would also benefit; their nervous systems would begin to function properly, their minds and bodies would be 230

healthier, and perhaps they would become aware of some of the greater things in life. ^ It is not at all my purpose to exalt the extremely boyish, athletic type of girl, who can’t be happy unless she is dressed in a pair of her own or her brother’s plus fours or white ducks, with flat heeled shoes on her feet. Nor is that the case with any of the girls of my acquaintance who have gone in for sports. A girl can be just as feminine, and much more natural in sport clothes than in an evening gown, and that is, after all, what is to be desired. In sports, as in all things, there is a happy medium. This then shall be our goal, and our motto, the ancient yet ever suit­ able ‘‘Mens sana in corpore sano.’’ Glenna Rasmussen 734

The Piney Woods School was opened with one pupil, under a cedar tree, by Dr. Jones, a colored graduate of Iowa State University in 1907. The school now has an elementary, a high school, and a junior college department, and is similar to Tuskegee Institute founded by Booker T. Washington. Piney Woods now has an enrollment of 300 pupils, a staff of thirty teachers, and a campus of 1500 acres. The Colored Mission of the Synodical Conference began work there two years ago and has thus opened a most promising field, from which the Gospel seed has already been carried to a large area in Mississippi. Pastor Nitz declined the call.

PHILOMATHEAN PROGRAM On December 9th the Philomathean Literary Society pre­ was sented its initial program of the season. The program # arranged by Mr. Reinhard Schoeneck. Prof. A. Sitz was the critic. The first number, consisting of three modern popular tunes, was played by L. Schliesser and his 4'Collegians^, a group of seven collegiates. In his original speech entitled <4Is Bacon Shakespeare?*7 Ralph Hagedorn gave the audience some inter­ esting information concerning the controversy between the Baconians and the Shakespeareans; he elucidated the arguments of the Baconians that Shakespeare could not have written the literature attributed to him. Next, “The Highwayman,” a poem by A. Noyes, was ably rendered by Waldemar Zarling. It relates how the captured inkeeper’s daughter heroically suf­ fered death at her own hand in order to warn her lover against the danger into which he was riding. This was followed by an original speech on * *Our Modern Indians’’ by John Radloff. Mr. Hadloff is in a position to give many interesting little facts about Indians otherwise not widely known, for he has spent much of his life near the Indian reservations. After this speech Melvin Schwenzen showed what one can do with a saxophone. Accompanied by Don Schwartz at the piano he delighted the audience with “Narcissus” by 包.Nevin and with “Roses of 故cardy’’ by Haydn. The final number on the program was Campbell of Kilmhor,’，a one-act play by John Ferguson. The playlet depicts a scene from the Jacobite uprising of 1745 m which many Scotch were mercilessly massacred for taking a hand in the attempt to disrupt the union of Scotland and England and to restore Charles, the last Stuart, to the throne. 236

Dugald Stewart (in the play) represents the revolting Scot, and Archibald Campbell typifies the kind of men fighting for the English, who ruthlessly put many rebels to death. Although it was somewhat difficult to get accustomed to the Scottish dia­ lect, yet, on the whole, the play was done so well that one could get the story and enjoy it.

Archibald Campbell Edward Knoll James Mackenzie... Gilbert Relien (Gerhard Ehlert Soldiers.................. ' (Waldemar Thurow PHI GAMMA RHO PROGRAM Another literary program was presented by the Phi Gamma Rho Society on the sixteenth of December. Mr. Otto Heier was master of ceremonies, and Prof. E. Kiessling acted as critic. To open the program the college band under the direction of its student-leader, W. Dobratz, played two selections. The two pieces were “Cloth of Gold,” an overture by Fred Jewell and “Fair Chicago,’’ a march by Victor Grabel. Band music usually “goes over” and it didn’t fail this time. But that does not by any means say there is no room for improvement. The band was struck rather hard by last year’s gra­ duations, and there is much to be done by the representatives of the present band. In the speech that followed these musical selections Carl Broecker presented some thoughts on the unfair attitude taken by many towards students and then went on to show that some of these unjustly criticized students became ech world-famous leaders and reformers; the topic for his spee< was “Students Unjustly Criticized Throughout the Ages. “Song of the Roses/' a polka by T. H. Rollinson was the next number Mr. Heier had on his program. Waldemar Dobratz rendered the polka as a cornet solo. As encore he played the aer for the fantasia “On the Alps” by Kosleck. The final number evening was a one-act play dramatized by Virginia Church from Leo Tolstoy^ story ‘‘What Men Live By.” The theme of this little drama is “God is love’’. This idea is carried out in the play by having a fallen angel learn three things about men • while he lives on earth as an apprentice to a peasant Russian shoemaker. The angel is to learn first, what that is which dwells in men; secondly, what that is which is not given to men 237

■㈣:J to know; and finally, what that is whereby men . live. The angel learns that love dwells in men, that it is not given to men to know when they must die, and that men live by love.

One of these little imperfections was rather amusing; the apprentice, Michael, naving- considerable difficulty in donning his cobbler’s apron, l thrpv it down in disgust; evidently he had not tried it oetore he appeared on the stage. The quartette who sang a strain at the end of the play evidently were quite nervous, for Sta^j S0llnding their tones on the piano rather early and CHRISTMAS Although the spring-like weather that prevailed here led one to doubt that it was really Christmas time, yet the Christ­ mas spirit was caught up by the student-body quite strongly. Early in December many a room, especially of the preps, was decorated neatly in Christmas colors and with Christmas decorations. And the Vesuvius Club again set up and. trimmed its tree. A traditional custom has it that the band furnish some music in the halls, before six o’clock in the morning.on theday Christmas vacation begins. Of late years other music has been played a day or two before the * 'band-morning.1 But this y^ar Christmas music, carols and hymns, resounded through the halls a whole week before the Christmas, recess began. Various combinations of instruments were used in duet and trio forms to provide the many slumberers with that pleasant sen­ sation of hearing old Christmas tunesaway off in the distance. 238

The customary Christmas celebration by the students and the faculty was held on Monday evening, December 21. The program: Arranged by Julius Seredy I The First Nowell . Chas.

Around the lighted Christmas tree chairs were arranged in sec­ tions for the organizations, the rest of the student-body, and the faculty. Conveniently stationed about these were long tables, each decorated with three red candles and with some­ thing coyered up with linens. The professors，wives pleasantly surprised the student-body with an abundance of Christmas cookies and cocoa. The students in return showed their appre­ ciation by partaking freely of the lunch and by a.. “Lebe. hoch! The evening’s activities were concluded with singing and with a number of games. Welcome and Adieu After the holidays we were taken care of by three tutors. Mr. Redlin has accepted a call to the congregation at AUenton, Wisconsin. But he stayed here until January 9th to finish the first.semester’s work with his classes. We regret that he is leaving us and wish him success and enjoyment in his field of labor. At the same time we welcome to our midst Rev. R. Kremer, who has taken over Tutor Redlin^ work.

®l|e With this number of the Black and Red a new section has been adopted. The purpose is to make our journal more allur­ ing, and to stimulate a desire for healthy criticism. Since this is the Sophomore number, they have the privilege of firing the first barrage. We thank them for their support and hope that the students will continue to maintain the column. E. Knoll. The question for discussion : “Are you satisfied with the present condition of the Literary Societies, or would you in any­ way have them changed VJ R. A. S. “Many of the students are in doubt as to which society they belong to. This indicates a lack of appreciation and interest in the societies. This defect could be remedied by creating a rivalry between the two societies. One way of doing this would be to offer a trophy or some special privilege to the society producing on the average the best programs of the year. “The programs themselves would be improved by doing away with the pause between the last recitation and the play, during stage arrangements. If the regular musical organi­ zations are too large and make too much disturbance, why not let instrumental groups fit in ?，’ E. M. - *4Why have a pause on your programs for stage arrangements preceeding a play ? I suggest that where it is possible the musical numbers be run during this boring pause. Have them stand ahead of the stage directly ahead of the center aisle.—Let’s fasten the floor boards a little. It sounds^ like a lumber camp when someone moves around on the stage”. W. A. S. —“The critics should improve their criticisms. There is not much benefit in listening to many of them now.’’ F. R. W. 一 “I believe it would be a good idea to have society pins. This would make the Phi Gama Rho proud of his society and the Philomathean proud of his.” H. W. —‘•Members, this is a give and take proposition. Give all you can and take what’s coming to you. Whether the Literary programs are worth while or not depends entirely on yourself !，， R. C. S. —"I believe that programs should be so arranged that recitations, readings, and musical numbers would be separated. The insertion of musical numbers (arrangement of music stands, etc.) causes an unnessary break in the programs 240

I ^Matk and produces an uneasy feeling in the audience. In a program that contains recitations, a musical number, and a play, I would suggest that the recitations be given first, during stage preparations the musical number, and finally the! play.�

At the opening of the year 3 D. W. (World Depression), we take pleasure in not offering any references concering discussion of the economic situation. First concerns experiments made by Doctor Ruckmick of the University of Iowa. “He has studied during the past ten years introspectively, and by means of registration of bodily pro­ cesses, such emotions as fear, anger, surprise, and the pleasant responses aroused by music, he has recorded the bodily responses by means of apparatus devised under his direction. — Progress has hitherto been retarded because of ignorance as to the nature of emotions, which has made people unwilling to submit to var­ ious tests and experiments, and finally because of the nature of the emotions themselves. They do not exist as sharply divided units, but rather shade one into another, so that observation of a specific emotion is very dif^cult.” (College Chips Dec. 9) When we behold the great number of church steeples in a large city, hear a sermon over the radio, and read every week about this church club and that religious gathering, we are very likely to conclude that as far as numbers are concerned, the U. S. is predominantly a Christian nation. What shocks must not then fall on our nerves when the true situation cuts through our mental veil and reveals itself in its reality! An editorial, ^Op­ portunities at Home,” of the same issue of the Chips, offers the information “that there are 68,198,700 unchurched people in the U. S. The foreign mission territory, about which we near mostly, contains about 8,000,000 heathen, while our home mission territory, which seems to be rather easily forgotten, 242

has in its population over 68,000,000 people who need the influ­ ence and guidance of missionary activities. In 1926 Minnesota had 1,282,000 churched and 1,281,000 unchurched; Wisconsin 1,472,000 and 1,466,000.” But why did they mention 8,000,000 heathen? Every now and then among the legions of editorials there shines forth one that is stamped either by orginality or by grat­ ing truth. Of the latter is the one captioned “Campus Bigotry, ’ ’ 'the Dec. 16 issue of the Round Tabic. Is the writer denounc­ in ing college students when he hurls forth ‘ 'Some weeks ago an address in chapel by our famous negro alumnus, Charles Win­ ter Wood, aroused expressions of narrow, ignorant, and bigot­ ed racial prejudice from our student body such as would seem impossible to arise on the campus of a northern liberal arts col­ lege0? —Recently— another prominent alumnus spoke in chap­ el on the topic of appreciation of music. His lecture was long and a little too technical, but it in no wise deserved the torrent of student condemnation which poured forth. It seems that many of our generation find huge delight in attacking and con­ demning those things which savor of value and quality , in an immaterial sense. Perhaps the major reason for thier criticism of Prof. Leach’s lecture was the accurate picture of their psuedosophistication which he drew. But behind the immediate motivation for shallow criticism was the same bigotry, the same failure to appreciate the opinions of others which is characteris­ tic of so many of us.’’ Another page of this Round Table contains a long column about the new American dialect, that of Walter Winchell, the radio announcer.—* 'Newly-invented words of the Walter Win­ chell variety have their chances, along with colloquialisms, dia­ lect terms, and verbal short-cuts, to take a permanent place in our language, according to eleven of a group of forty college professors of English. Opinions varied from that of Professor H, Ward of Coe College, Iowa, who thought ‘ Winchell’s many racy expressions and often startling apt new coinages will make a very considerable impression upon our vocabulary，’ to the indigpant pun of Professor J. W. Rankin of the U. of Missouri, ‘Winch? Hell no!’一“The English language has been subjected to many vicissitudes in the past,” said Professor Carleton Bro\vn of New York U., Secretary of the Modern Language Associa­ tion on America, “and has shown remarkable toughness and power of persistence. My personal opinion is that it will con­ tinue without any perceptible effect from the worst which Mr. Winchell can do to it.” A new system of grading will be adopted at Augustana College (111.). The Augustana Observer of Dec. 16 reports that instead of the percentage system of grading, the letter 243

1 system will be adopted. In grading, A will be rated as excell­ ent, B good, C fair, D poor, E condition, I incomplete, F fail­ ure. Dean Arthur Wald said that the letter plan was more sim­ ple and was in use by most of the colleges in the country. It was his opinion that the new system would give better results since it is easier to classif ify students in four or five groups than to give to each separate:student an individual i grade.’’ Another blessing of the Depression—it has come out of Cali­ fornia, according to an item from the Observer. “A group of wo­ men students at the U. of Southern Calif, have agreed to pay the full cost of dates if their escorts can measure up to the standard set Should the boy rate only 50 per cent, the girls will stand only half the cost, and the lower in esteem the male falls, the greater share of the entertainment bill he must foot. — Ah, but we fear that Circe may confound the girls' judgment and transform many a Hamlet into a Launcelot Gobbo! — “Intelli­ gence 20 per cent, cultural background 15 per cent, personal appearance 15 per cent, — ’ ’ And let not the men sneer at the qualification, 1 ‘Clear understanding of the word ‘no’ 5 per cent.1'

AT麵mt：S Beloil 40; North western 21. December 11.—A taller, heavier, and more experienced _ Beloit cage squad thoroughly trounced our boys in their second start this season, 40-21. Failure on the part of the officials to keep the players within the limits of legitimate basketball in the early stages of the game led to a rough-and-tumble battle which was far from interesting to watch. Beloit was hardly ever penalized for running with the ball, while many fouls were committed which were simply overlooked by the referee. On the very first play Heiss scored two points on an easy lift-in shot, and thereafter the State Liners steadily increased their lead to 10-0 before the Northwestern cagers found the basket. The height of our opponents enabled them to control the ball most of the time. They intercepted passes frequently and turned them into easy points. Whitson, sophomore for­ ward, was the most successful shooter, gathering a total of 16 points for his teammates. Harke, Northwestern center, followed with 12, and Heiss, a guard, made 7. Coach Kleinke’s men were able to make but two field goals during the first half. Beloit led at the intermission 20-7. Beloit continued to pile up a commanding lead in the second period, while the Black and Redmen were forced to shoot from long range. At no time during the encounter were the State liners pressed. Northwestern was simply unable to penetrate the exellent defense of their opponents. 245

Milwaukee Kn^inecrs 10; Northwestern 21. December 19.—After two previous defeats, our Northwestern cagers emerged with an encouraging 21-10 victory over the Milwaukee School of Engineering. It was the first home game of the season, and the Black and Redmen’s only win before the Christmas recess. Northwestern’s offense was entirely different from the one used in the two previous setbacks. Capt. Martin and Harke advanced the ball to the center slowly and cautiously. Zimpelmann and McGowan, at the forward position, were unusually successful with this brand of basketball. All of the Goslings’ field • goals _ were made directly under the basket after superb passing with the exception of Martin’s long shot which opened the scoring for both teams. Northwestern’s defense also showed a great improvement. The opponents made but three buckets, two of which were scored in the first period. Nommensen played an exceptionally good defensive game, although his guarding at times was rather close, which finally caused his retirement from the game on four personal fouls. Accurate shooting from the free throw line was another factor in the victory. Northwestern made good on 7 gift shots, while the visitors counted on 4. The Black and Redmen led at the half 12-5. In the preliminary contest the Northwestern B’s defeated the Milwaukee Engineering B’s 11-8. The Northwestern B’s， wh? were behind 6-2 at the half, came back strong in the last period and held the visitors to two points. 246

Milwaukee.—Concordia college, Milwaukee, won a one-sided affair here Saturday night from Northwestern college of Watertown, 29-9. Krause, forward and captain, led the way with 8 points. Concordia took the lead immediately after the opening tipoff and was never passed from this point on. As the gun rang out the end of the first period, Capt. Martin shot succesfully for Northwestern’s only field goal in the first half. Entering the final session on the short end of a 13-5 count, the Goslings fought nip and tuck for points, but were frustrated on each attempt. Their passes were short and fast, but each time failed to reach their goal. Concordia was unusually fortunate in shooting. They scored 11 baskets out of a possible 34 attempts. Northwestern, however, had to be content with 2 baskets, after shooting 48 times. 247

Watertown. - Valparaiso, that marvellous univer­ sity basketball squad from way down in Indiana, proved itself entirely too strong for our midgets and romped off with a brill­ iant 38-16 victory. A large crowd was on hand to witness the accurate passes and shots these boys made. Northwestern, led by diminutive Zimpelmann, outplayed and outfought their opponents during the first period. They showed a remarkable spark that found them in the lead at half time, 12-9. It was a treat to see our little fellows outsmart their larger opponents. But it seems the Black and Redmen not only outplayed Val­ paraiso during the first half, they evidently outplayed them­ selves also. As the second period began, Valpo slowly sewed up the count, and then in very rapid order sank enough buckets to lead 27-12. Zimpelmann dislocated his arm and was forced from the game. Harke soon left on four personal fouls. Well, general, everything seemed to go wrong just when all the Northwestern rooters thought they would have something to shout about. Bamekoff, center, and White, forward, led Valparaiso’s scoring with 10 and 9 points respectively. Zimpelmann was high for the Goslings with 3 field goals. Northwestern had 12 248

Most of the students have by this time recovered from the effects of vacation. Only five stayed]at the dormitory during the holidays: Heier, Resting, Radloff, Schroeder, and Hoff. The scarcity of snow during those two weeks deprived these five of at least one favorite pastime, that of keeping the sidewalks clean. For the rest of us vacation passed by quickly enough. :‘Huds” Fredricks filled in his leisure time by taking a trip East, in the course of which he visited such cities as New York, Boston, Baltimore, and others. Perhaps no one else of our number can boast of so unique an experience as “Benny” Hahm; the indis­ position of pastor at Crivitz, Wisconsin, gave Mr. Hahm the oppo rtunity of reading1 a sermon to the local congregation. The members of the basketball squad returned from vacation on January 3, to resume practice for the Concordia game on Jan­ uary 9. On his way back from vacation Buenger stopped off at Mil­ waukee to see the Marquette-Chicago game. The Junior class-rings did finally arrive on December 10. Sufficient research revealed that of those that bought rings all except two could still display theirs after vacation. What hap­ pened to those two is difficile dictu. ^ .The “boys’ room,” formerly located in the basement of the recitation building, has been transferred to a room of the first floor of the same building. To provide extra room for clothes, etc., Dr. Ernst’s library has been moved into the basement. Kaschinske and Heier have been appointed to help the jan­ itors in the capacity of assistant firemen. All those who attended the Concordia-Northwestern game enjoyed the music offered by Concordia Collegiate Orchestra. 250

All the players wore blue and white uniforms, donated by a kindhearted enthusiast. In order to prevent outbreaks of epidemics among the stu­ dents as much as possible, the College has arranged to have a physician call on anyone that may be ill. The first call is paid for by the college, but subsequent calls are made at the expense of the individual. Among those who hiked to Oconomowoc on January 10 to see the Ski Tournament were Schoeneck and Relien. Since this is the Sophomore number, the rest of this column has been devoted to material of the Sophomores, by the Sopho~ mores, and for the Sophomores. A certain Sophomore has voiced his idea of the class of ‘34 in the following: SOPHOMORE PROFUNDITY To be a Sophomore it is necessary to have attained that cer­ tain stage of mental maturity at which there is a keen desire for a full and thorough understanding of an encountered word or phrase. All your doubts as to whether the present Sophomore class has reached this advanced state are dismissed by a revela­ tion of the exact knowledge that one of its members possesses of the phrase/'Putting your nose to the grindstone.” For espy­ ing an old grindstone he approached it, gave the crank a whirl and actually applied his nose to the buzzing stone. Oh, boy, what serene satisfaction in experimental research! M. L. ‘34 Scheck hiked home on December 22 and back again on Janu­ ary 4. He had good luck on the way home, but on the return trip his luck seemed to have forsaken him. Among other things, he landed in the ditch once, but escaped without a scratch. Bolle, Stiemke, and E. Wendlandt went on an all-day hike on January 4, covering, in all, about 25 miles. Curtis Hotlen spent Christmas vacation at the home of M. Lemke. *'Happyn says, 4 The beer and the chicken couldn * t be beat!” Stiemke spent part of his vacation playing golf. The Tiefel brothers travelled to Indiana to spend the holidays with their grandmother. . Bussewitz has of late become accustomed to sleeping on bush­ el baskets, ironing boards, brooms, and mothballs. But that isn’t the worst of his afflictions; for he is a room mate of Geiger’s，and Geiger happens to be taking up the study of the vio­ lin this year. To “Reggy” Siegler goes the honor of being the first one of the Sophomore class to display a portrait of “her” on his desk. Ano法er promising young man gone to the bad! ,The Sophomores who attended the basketball game at Concordia were: Nicolaus, Hotlen, 0. Lemke, Tiefel, M. Lemke. 251

and Siegler. Tiefel’s Ford completed another non-stop flight to Milwaukee, thus affording a means of transportation to six passengers besides the driver. “Some bus!” say the Sophs. Toppe, Bussewitz, R. Lemke, R. Stiemke, Bolle, Benzel, and Schwenzen attended the Ski Tournament at Oconomowoc Sunday afternoon, January 10. R. Siegler and V. Tiefel visited friends at the Seminary over the week-end January 9-10. 0. Lemke, "King of the Checkerboard,” announces a new “system,” guaranteed to make him undisputed national champ­ ion.

The Sophomores have been extraordinarily fortunate as far as snow shovelling is concerned. Until now the president of the class has not required any assistance whatsoever in keeping the sidewalks passable. “Wally” Schultz, captain of the Soph basketball squad, is very sanguine in regard to the prospects for his team this year. He is said to have declared, “If the other teams each lose three or four games, we will undoubtedly be the champions of the Collegiate Department.’’ And now, the Sophomore class: Bentert “Olie” We should，a got a gallon. Bolle “Balls” They cut clown the old pine tree. Busse'vitz ‘‘Buzz’’ Fit audience, but few. Geiger “Geig” Who’s got the extras whacked? Herro “Dele” Help! Help! Hotlen “Happy” That’s contrary to my experience. Kiefer “Barney” Hey, Hey, New York! Lemke “Martin” Tie me to your apron strings again. Lemke “Oscar” Yes, but you ought to see the Green Bay Packers. Lemke ‘‘Lemons’’ My answers never agree with the book. Moser “Eddie’，Coffee, tea, or milk? What’s the schedule for Nicolaus “Nick” 8:15 A. M today? Raabe ‘‘John’’ How much money in the treasury, Geiger? • Rasmussen * ‘Glenna，，The Sophs，foremost representative in giggling contests. Rhea “Dave” I can’t express it, but---Scheck “Mutt” Yes, I realize that I made a mistake! Schewe “Eps” Erwin und Dorothea. Schultz “Wally’’ You haven’t the least conception, Schultz. Siegler “Reg” Born to rule, Watta Man! Stiemke “Rich” The new lady’s man. Tiefel “Vic” Five gallons please. Toppe “Carlie” Not so good, only 99 this time, Carlton! 252

3 Weyland F. “Wey” 5:00 P. M. Have you got your physics done? Weyland R. “Rabbi” Did you see my new Conklin already? Wicke “Philosoph” Oh, but when I took this girl out— Zimpelmann “Zimpe” Gimme a cigarette!

®0-和 Since this is the Sophomore number, it is altogetherBfitting and proper that we devote some space to the Sophomore Coeds. Although the girls of this class are few in number we shall try to convince you that there really are some. If taken in alphabetical order, Anita Geweke is the first to be given the “once over.” Although ashamed to say it, we barely realize her presence. She usually confines herself to one corner of the room with her books, her best friends. She’s a wonderful example for the rest of us to follow: and it wouldn’t be such a bad idea if we would put more confidence in the old adage (which perhaps is Anita’s favorite) “Silence is golden.” The next for consideration is Adele Heim She performs her duty of giving motherly advice to the lovelorn, the home­ sick, and to those who are apt to fall by the wayside. Even though Adele thinks it’s vulgar to chew gum, she states that she has swallowed so much of it that it makes up threefourths of her weight. Last, but not least, comes Glenna Rasmussen. She has been with her class for six years, so you really do not need an introduction to her. It seems every time she wants to conceal her presence, it is revealed by her “contralto chuckle.，’ Favorite Songs: Geweke:—“Ich weiss nicht was soil es bedeuten.’’ Herro:—“If I could be with you one hour tonight.” Rasmussen:—“Bury me out on the prairie.1 * Indoor Sports Geweke:—Studying French. Herro:—Lecturing on the immorality of this younger generation. Rasmussen*—Listening to and arguing with Adele. After the annual Christmas program, we were pleasantly surprised by the announcement which Prof. Kowalke made. Needless to say, we enjoyed the cookies and cocoa which the professor’s wives had prepared for us. Among the group that accompanied the basket ball team to Concordia were: Adele Nommensen, Helen Naumann, Bernice Kieck，Lillian Trapp, Glenna Rasmussen, and Dorothy Dieter. “Veni, vidi, procidi” are the three words that portray Glenna Rasmussen when she went to view the dummy perched on the third floor fire escape.

Two sons of a Baptist minister, after hearing one of their father’s sermons, decided to baptize their family of cats. The kittens made no objection and were immersed one by one. But when they came to the mother cat, she objected strongly. After a few unsuccessful attempts, one of the boys remarked: “Just sprinkle her, George, and let her go to hell.’’ Absent-minded Prof. : Amelia, I think Pve lost the road. His wife: Are you sure you had it when you left the house? 氺本氺

Prisoner: %hat blew off. Let me get it. Policeman: u can’t fool me that way. You stay here, I'll go get the hat. At least one negro applicant for a certificate to teach school in Mississippi failed. His answer to the question: “Name two Indian tribes and give something about their costumes and habits,’’ was: .**The Coca Colas and the Semicolons. They wore feathers m their costumes and their habits was bad.，， *

Two of the more accomplished members of the Famous Sophomore Class wish to have it spread aboard that they are about to step into public life. R. Siegler, premier cellist of the N. W. C. orchestra, and R. Weyland, of double-bass fame, are willing to give lessons on their respective instruments free of charge to anyone who promises to practice assiduously. Wait a minute! Before you rush out, see what Webster has to say about assiduously. . —and while we’re cm the subject—F. Weyland, alias Weyland no. 1，（the one in the black hair) proclaims to the world that he will teach Esperanto free of charge to anyone who promises to translate his Latin and Greek into Esperanto. (Why bother! Translate my Latin and Greek into English for me and you’ll be my friend for life.—Ed. note) Prof. : At first the Romans regarded marriage as a sacra­ ment. Later— Bentert: -as a sacrifice. Wally (translating): Profectus navis prope terram----------setting out with ships across the land-----A small volume of jokes about Buzz and Geiger was handed me by an ardent admirer of theirs, who for the moment prg庶’s to remain anonymous. The book might well be called: The Buzz-Geig combination begins to function’’. With special perinission of the copyright owners I am printing excerpts from this volume. Geig (reading from catalogue): Electric iron, $1.00; big flashlight which throws a 1200ft. beam of light;. Buzz (looking up from Milton); What? An electric iron that throws a 1200ft. beam of light? ®u?z: Whafs a hangover? Geig: Overgrown toe-nail. Isn’t it? 256

What some of the old time poets might have said upon receiving loud ties for Christmas. That is — what they might have said if confined to formal poetry. (Milton, who could not be bothered) Hence, vain deluding1 ties, A maze of figures with rude colors bright! How little you delight, Or fill the fixed mind with all your dyes, As bright and numberless As the gay hues that make up the sunbeams. O tie, thy visage is too bright To soothe the sense of human sight.

(Lady Winchelsea, who delved into its many intricacies.) When on some tie-piece, overhung with gfreen, The waving moon and treniblinjf leaves are seen; And purple tulips, or a bramble-rose, And ihere a yellow cowslip shows; Whilst now a paler hue like fox-glove takes, Yet chequers still with red and dusky brakes: When through the g-loom more venerable shows Some ancient fabric, awful in repose; And silent musinps urge the mind to seek Something too low for syllables to speak. Prom such a sig-lit let me abroad remain Till something breaks and all’s all right again.

(Edward Young, who seemed to like them and exclaims about them as a whole.) How pure, how rich, how abject, how aug'ust, How complicate, how wonderful, are ties! How passing- wonder the.v who made them such! Who centered in their make such strange extremes, From different natures marvellously mixed ! A band ethereal, sullied, and absorpt! Thought wanders up and clown, surprised, aghast, And wondering- at my ties How reason reels! Triumphantly distressed! What joy! What dread! O, what a miracle to man are ties!

PORTRAITS Helen Ashton walked slowly in the glow of an autumn evening. She had passed by several people without recognizing them. She was pondering something. Suddenly she took a deep breath, shivered, drew her coat collar more firmly about her throat. As she turned the corner to walk down Hallam street she took a last look at the greying western sky. The voice of a child crying, “Mama，’ again roused her from her reverie. Samuelson's dog ran out to sniff at her. “What j the matter, fellow V\ she bent to pet him, but he slipped in front of her, watching her out of the corner of his eye. She walked on a little more quickly. As she came to the street crossing she stopped for a moment to let a car pass ; it also had slowed down and then stopped, for a car coming down Hallam street had the right of way. Helen looked at the driver. “I wonder, do I Know John Smith well enough to greet him ? I went to school with his sister, but that was ages ago. Maybe he doesn*t know me. Yes, he does too, he’s smiling at me/7 She smiled and nodded. He raised his hat. He raced his engine, shifted the gegr and started out. In the meantime another car, an old Ford, had come down Hallam street and was turning the corner. 258

；n

axxIk ■*r_

They’ll hit. No. John jammed down his brakes : the driver of the Ford stepped on the accelerator and the Ford scuttled past, just missing the other car by inches. She watched it go down the street and then crossed. Just one more block and she would be home. Home. To­ day for the first time in a month she had been out of doors. It was all very well for people to say that she must take care of herself and save her strength, because no one could know how long it would be before her mother died. With whom could she leave her mother ? She didn’t have money enough to keep a nurse for any length of time and, just as every one said, no one could know how long it would be. True, her mother seemed to have failed two months ago. Then just last night she had been conscious. She had to be there if by any chance she might be concious. She could never forgive herself- . Mary was wait­ ing for her. Had she, had mother ? She wanted to talk, but she couldn't. She heard the yelling of the boys playing football in the vacant lot. Why didn't Mary say something ? “Did you have a nice walk, Helen ? It looked so nice out I was glad I had the excuse of getting，in the paper.” She held open the door until Helen waked past her into the house. She held the door until it shut very quietly, for nothing must dis­ turb Mother Ashton. She didn't see how Helen stood it She was glad Tom had telegraphed last night to say Bobbie had broken his arm. It gave her an excuse to go home. Of course it was Helen's mother and that might make one feel differently. She felt horribly depressed after t wo days in the house. The house was stuffy ; the blinds were all pulled shut over the entire up­ stairs. There was decay over the large, unused, lower rooms. It wasn’t right of Tom to expect her to stay with his mother. She watched Helen pat her hair into shape before the long: fflass mirror which Tom had told her Father Ashton had ordered put into the closet door, the day before he died. They had had it put in then after the funeral because the Ashtons always ful­ filled the dying one’s last requests. She had to say somethinK to Helen. **Did you see any one you knew V' ， * No, that is Yes I did too. John Smith, but you don t know him anyway.” She was still weak from the fright Mary Jjad given her when she saw her on the porch. She had to sit down a moment before she went up to her mother. -Mary looked at her. She couldn’t understand the Ashton obstmancy now after• being married to Tom Ashton for ten years more than she had Ae first time she had come as a bride any to vkit spend the last Ashton. Then she wanted to cause they had fbeen fr honeJmoon ,in Chicago, but beand Tom had qai^e?v,I?V sPend a week with the Ashtons nad said they would, she had to stay in Merton the 259

㉞】 entire week. It still rankled. Now here was Helen all worn out, or at any rate she should be; yet she wouldn’t get a nurse for her mother or send her to a hospital. Narrowness and jrovincialism. Because Ashtons had always died in their own )eds and been attended by at least one member of the family. 5ut perhaps there wasn’t enough money. Every one knew they lad had enough before Father Ashton died. But he never did think any woman capable of anything but childbearing, and his own sons incapable of handling money ; so he may have tied up his estate. She had been in Europe when he died and when she came back Tom would tell her nothing of the details. That was another thing she never could break through the Ashton reserve. If Helen were a little more like a woman or even a warm-blooded human being one might feel more sorry for her. There she was sitting now as stiff and cold as if she were paying a formal call instead of being in her own house. Only if she were calling she would make some attempt at conversation. The Ashtons could talk well enough. She wouldn't sit there so withdrawn and with that far-away look in her eyes. She al­ ways felt uncomfortable and irritated when she looked into Helen’s eyes. She either seemed to look right through one, which was uncomfortable, or her eyes held in their luminous dreaminess a world beyond anything temporal. Well, if Helen wouldn't talk she supposed she would have to. They couldn’t sit like sticks or two rude, hostile children. “Helen, dear, this is a terrible ordeal for you. You really niust get a nurse. You know Tom would only be too glad to do his part. All right, I sha’n，t say anything more about it if you don’t want me to. Only remember —’’ It seemed no more than right to offer. She supposed she wouldn’t be able to have that furcoat she had seen in Selery’s window and she had almost persuaded Tom to buy it for a Christmas present. But then one had to make some sacrifices. Besides she could make her old coat do for another year. She really had had it only three years. Helen wished Mary would leave her alone for a few min­ utes. She knew well enough Mary didn’t like her, that was why she had offered to let Tom help pay for a nurse. It hadn’t been a sincere offer, she could see by Mary’s narrowed eyes. She hated them. They made her think of a cat, smug complacency — she was figuring what she would have to do without. She couldn’t understand, she thought wearily, what Tom saw in her anyway. She wasn’t particularly attractive ; she was everlastingly wanting something she didn’t have ; sl^ neyer could sit still a minute without talking and when she did plk she never said anything but the commonest platitudes ; she lied herself out of anything which would be at least unpleasant 260

:l|

for her and she had no brains. Helen was suddenly very tired of Mary. She was going to leave tomorrow. She was glad of that She knew, of course, Mary was only giving- Bobbie’s broken arm as an excuse. When she made Mary’s bed in the morning, she had found Tom’s telegram on the bed-side table and had read it, “not necessary to come.” Mary had omitted that phrase when she read the telegram last night. What was Mary saying ? She’d make supper. ‘4All right. I shall run up to see how mother is. She was quiet while I was gone V1 Helen stopped for a moment on the stairs ; weakly grasped the railing for support. “Would she be all right ? Had it been right for her to leave her mother with Mary V1 When her mother was active she had never liked her. There had always been veiled cuts from one to the other, which both understood. They had almost the same tactics. Each bided her time and when it came struck. What was she waiting for ? She pulled herself together and walked quickly up the stairs, down the long, narrow, dark hall to her mother’s room. The minute she entered the room she knew it had been as she had felt on the porch; her mother was dead. She had waited night after night and the first hour she had left her she died. It was so quiet in the room, so changed from the ceaseless sound of her mother’s babblings. She walked heavily, dry-eyed to the window. She pushed back the blinds and breathed deeply the keen, fresh-smelling night air. E.

A3, hefting *33 A LITERARY REVIEW I sometimes wonder' how the Northwestern student gets anything done besides studying; yet there may be some who have leisure to read, and for those who are interested in books I shall point out some of the newer ones, which can be found in the Public Library. Possibly the largest amount of reading done is that in fic­ tion so I shall take those books first. In the London column of the “New York Times” book review section “Hatter’s Castle’’ was mentioned as being the best book of fiction for last year blished in England. The author A. J. Cronin was a practising ysician in the slum district of London. I don’t recommend this story for any one who likes a nice story, or a pretty story; it is a forceful book, powerfully written, with characters one will remember for some time. It may strike some as being sor­ did in places, but there is beauty in it too. By the way, the old man in it is a hatter by.trade, hence the name **Hatter7s Castle’ ’. He is mad enough, too, but not so entirely delightful; he is rather detestable. If one likes English humor of a kindly, gentle sort and very clever, and hasn’t very much time, a delightful book is E. M. Delafield’s “The Diary of a Provincial Ladyn. Maude Diver in “Ships of Youth”，mixed in with the story, 263

gives one an idea that there is another side to English foreign policy in India than Ghandi’s. If one likes people and families, one of the best type is Maza de la Roche’s “Finch’s Fortune.M This is a sequel to “Whiteoaks of Jalna”，which in turn followed “Jalna”. The Whiteoaks are an eccentric, but charming family. When one has done reading he is better acquainted with them than one is with most people in actual life. Brand Whitlock’s “Narcissus” is a portrait of Antone Van Dyck： it is also a good study of the life of the Flemish painters as apprentices of Rubens. Catherine Cornell is both producing and playing the part of Elizabeth Barret in Bister’s 'The Barrets of Wimpole Street’’. William Lyon Phelps had this either first or second, I forget which, on the list of the ten plays he recommended for theatre goers. It is just as good for reading to one’s self. It is not a play full of action, but it has characters of great interest. The other day I noticed that it is making twenty three thousand four hundred dollars a week if you have a turn for finance. Each year Edward O’Brien puts out a book of the best plays for the current season and reviews the theatre in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other cities in the United States. Some critics might quibble about some of his choices, but on the whole they are the best plays. Did you hear that O’Niel’s play “Mourning Becomes Electra” almost sold out The Gilbert Murry translation of Euripedes’ “Electra”，because the theatre goers felt they needed some background for the modern play. This book will be on the library shelves in a short time. The title, "The Letters of Ellen Terry and Bernard Shaw” is enough to recommend this book, although it lags in spots as a book of this sort often does. It may be of interest to some to know that aside from the times he saw her on the stage and that she peeped at him through curtains or keyholes, and once when, meeting at the door after a show, Ellen Terry addressed him as the lord of the manor and he tried to answer this, they never saw each other in person until they met for the daily rehearsals of the play “Captain Brassbound,> which Shaw wrote for her although they corresponded with amazing regularity for two such busy people. They were afraid of being1 disap­ pointed in one another. If you are one, who goes avidly after anecdotes and news of authors and famous men, you will be interested in *'Com­ panions of the Trail” by Hamelin Garland, in which he tells of the men he met, talked to, exchanged ideas and argued with after 1900. Garland, you know, is not only from the middle west, but from West Salem, Wisconsin. 264

f 你Jlla此砂 I haven’t read it, but the reviews say that Stuart Chase’s “Mexico” is both eminently readable and authoritative. Before we finish we must have some poetry, Lew Sarett in his "Wings against the Moon” shows himself to be the outdoor man he is and writes poems mostly on outdoor subjects from every conceivable angle. “Brakin Drake’’ and “The Mountain Goat’’ are two of the best. Sarett, when he is not teaching at Northwestern University, spends much of his time in northern Wisconsin. Edna St. Vincent Millay's sonnet sequence “Fatal Inter­ view” will be welcomed by Milllay admirers. The library also only recently got Miss Millay’s ''The _ Buck in the Snow”. The poem of the same name, which gives the book its title, is a par­ ticularly lovely thing. E. Faber, ’33

OUR LITERARY PROGRAMS ‘‘Oh heck ! I wish they’d have the play first, so we wouldn’t have to sit through all those dry speeches.’’ How often do we not hear this. True, it does come from the mouths of the youn­ ger students among us more often than from the older pnes. But I believe that it is the opinion of the older ones also, who are reluctant to express the opinion for fear they may be accused of lack of taste. It is indeed deplorable, that such conditions should prevail in our student body, but it is not without reason, that the feeling has crept in. Many of the speakers appearing on the programs present their wisdom in so uninteresting a manner, that it doesn’t take long before one gets the feeling that one would just as soon see the speaker make his forced bow, if any, and depart. Just take a look at a speaker. He stands up on the stage as stiff as the trunk of a tree. Perhaps he will attempt to make a gesture or two, but besides this little motion you would almost think he were a robot, mechanically doing the will of someone back stage. When he does take a step forward or backward, he does it with unfailing regularity, such as you see only in a 266

f-W她速」色: chorus of dancers practicing a new step. His face is as pallid and expressionless as a dead man’s. All these things are not at all conducive to interest. Why not get up there with a determi­ nation to be interesting ? When appearing, let’s get up there with a smile. And while you’re speaking, use some gestures, but make them come naturally. Walk about the stage a little more. Of course, we do not expect you to keep walking- about the entire stage as did a famous speaker whom we heard last year. The interest you get depends entirely upon you. We wonder what these students who only go to see the play would say to a program as held a few years ago. It wasn’t long ago when literary programs were made up entirely of speeches, both German and English. The only diversion was an occasional number by one of the musical organizations. To present a play was a thing unheard of. There were occasional dialogues, but they were few and far between, and were usually made up by those who presented them. Still in those days there was more interest in literary programs than there is now. What subjects did they choose to speak on ? Muscle Shoals, Teapot Dome Scandal, and the like. But these subjects were treated so in­ terestingly, that even the younger among us were eager to hear them. Topics treated today are, in most cases, simply synopses of articles taken from some magazine. I can remember only two speeches in the last three years, that could really be called original. Rivalry between the two societies has almost completely dropped out. It doesn’t make a bit of difference to the individ­ ual whether he belongs to the Phi Gamma Rho or to the Philomathian Society. If you should ask many of them to which society they belong, they would most likely answer: “I don’t knaw exactly, but I think I belong to the Philomathian. *' Not long ago you would have an argument on your hands soon enough if you thought one or the other were better. Debate — That great stimulater of interest and rivalry, how it has been neglected ! In the last three years there has been but one debate. Much more interest would be stirred up if two or three of each society would get up before the regular meeting of the societies and argue out some current topic. It has been suggested that we put up a trophy for the best average program of the year. Why couldn^ we have a trophy for the best de­ bating team. An elimination contest would certainly create keen interest. The question has been raised whether all classes should be allowed to take part in the programs. It has always been a a custom that all collegiate classes take part. All students of the collegiate department.should make it their aim to appear at least once each year. This would certainly do away with much 267

g ghcj^ta^ ^ of this stage-fright so apparent around here. The Tertianers have asked to be allowed to listen to the criticisms. There can be little objection to this, but we suspect that the interest would only be passing, and few of them would care to hear the criti­ cisms after a short while. In last month’s “Forum” it was suggested that a musical number be played after the last “recitation” (as our speeches have been aptly called by R. A. S.) and before the play. This suggestion would work out in certain cases, but imagine some­ one playing a number with someone pounding. This certainly would be more disturbing than the pause we are forced to sit through now. Some of these stage arrangements might be made beforehand, but in some cases it is impossible. Under the present conditions I think we will have to put up with the •‘boring pause’’. ， Perhaps those people who are offended at the noise made by the floor do not realize that the stage has to be put up in so short a time that it would be impossible to nail down the boards. The committee is given a short three-quarter hour to put up the stage, and those who have to set it up know that not any too much time is allotted for the work. It is possible to get rid of much of the noise, however, by laying a rugr on the stage. This has been done with good results, why not continue ? There are many other points that might be criticized, but I would far exceed the space allowed for my weak plea. But our programs would be much better if a few of these things would be remembered. They should be made up of interesting sub­ jects and, above all, should be presented interestingly. And now, young man, since you have given others such good advice, how about practising a few of these ideas yourself ? H. Gieschen ’33 DEFENSIO LUDI POINTS Friends of the bridge world, I urge you to take up arms! The fair name of bridge has been slandered. Are we to remain silent while undeserved insults are being heaped upon her? No! Emphatically no! She has been charged with accusations wholly unmerited by her. It is my honest opinion that this castigator of the game of bridge must be prejudiced against cards in general. Why has he given vent to his dislike by making bridge the goat? Why did bridge, the rnost intellectual of all card games, become the butt of his criticism? It is unjust. It cannot go unpunished. We must retaliate. Are we to believe that bridge is a form of physical and mental indolence? How absurd! We need not be told that it requires but little physical exertion to transfer a card from the 268

I:戀她— hand to the table. It is equally obvious that this process takes place in every card game. It is not peculiar to bridge. Why not then condemn all card games? That would be consistant. If we desire physical exercise, we will naturally indulge in some other form of entertainment, some sport for instance. (May I suggest swinging Indian clubs?) We do not play bridge for physical exercise, but rather mental. For the player who prides himself on his skill it is not useless “brain lumber’’ to remember what cards have been played, down to the lowly deuce! This may or may not train the memory of the player in regard to other things, depending on the individual. But must we expect some additional recompense besides the pure pleasure we get out of the game itself? About 20,000,000 Americans are ardent lovers of the game. In recent years its develop­ ment has been remarkable. Bridge has gained followers from all walks of life. What has caused this enthusiasm? The answer lies in bridge. Bridge otters an escape from the dreary routine of hum-drum life. It is a battle of wits. It gives the player an opportunity to pit his intelligence against that of his opponents. Then too, there is mystery and glamor surrounding： every bridge hand. What is the best bid, and who will secure it? Will the declarer make his contract, or will he be set? Bridge meets all the requirements of a thrilling game. The player must make the soldiers in his hand serve him as ably as possible. If they are weak, he must give the signal for retreat and make the best possible defense. Should his partner on the field of battle reveal strength by attacking, he must come to his aid if he can. On the other hand, if the opponents make the attack, he must with the aid of his partner attempt to ward off their onslaughts and make every effort to defeat them. What bridge player will deny the thrill of making a Grand Slam double and redouble against seemingly overwhelming1 obstacles? What player will deny the thrill of setting vulner­ able opponents, who are confident of making their contract? Who will say bridge is a form of mental indolence? Every bridge player knows that to derive the height of pleasure from the game it must be played with skill and concen­ tration. Even I, who am a novice at the game (since I will lead away from a King and again and again finesse a Ten) know that the element of luck in bridge is not so pronounced as in other card games. Only the inexperienced player trusts to luck. A guess, for instance, need not depend on chance. It must be remembered that valuable information as to the location of certain honor-cards which the player wishes to trap may be ob­ tained from the opponents’ bidding*. If then a finesse is success269

I ful just because of inferences the player has drawn, is it merely a stroke of luck? Furthermore, it is a distinguishing mark of a good player to know when to finesse and when not to. The finesse can be avoided by the squeeze-play, for example. It is clear then that luck is not such an important factor in bridge. Like every card game, it can be played in accordance with sound rules and axioms. It is true, however, that the mathematician, who is a slave to convention, rarely makes a good player. It is the player who combines sound play with a vivid imagination who excels. Must we interpret that frown of concentration of the expert as a groping- about for lost cards and plays in the / 'cluttered attic” of his memory? Only the veriest tyro can be guilty of this. Bridge has no room for absent-minded players. For them it may even be hazardous. They may even be the cause of many dire calamities. Do you not recall that recently a man was shot in cold blood, because he had trumped his partner's ace? (Whether this was justified, I leave for you to decide.) Is it not a fact that divorces have been brought about, because an erring hus­ band failed to give the correct response to his wife’s forcing bid of two? Is it not imperative then, is it not the duty of the bridge player to prevent such catastrophes by refraining： from absentmindedness ? For what other reasons are we to condemn bridge? Are we to be persuaded that it gives us a poor vocabulary? What an erroneous belief! Bridge can neither improve nor impair our vocabulary. If we do, however, converse with our partner across the card table with a meager, deficient vocabulary, must bridge necessarily have caused it? In that case we never did possess a good vocabulary. Bridge has not affected it. If I am not mistaken, there are text-books on English available for this purpose. Perhaps a daily perusal of Koget’s Thesaurus of Eng­ lish MT«rds nml Phnises might ke a valuable aid. Certain teachers of English advocate frequent consulting of the dictionary. Oh, there are innumerable means of acquiring a vocabulary. We cannot expect bridge to provide that means. Are we to drop bridge because the "scum of the earth play it? Would you refuse to eat an apple just because a hobo also derives pleasure from eating one? .Must we put bridge under taboo because of the quarrels which frequently arise around the card table? They are, of course, to be regretted. Some players, long after a hand has beep played out, will gloat over their opponents if they win and criticize tlieir partner’s play if they lose. That is poor sportsjnanship. But again I say, must bridge be blamed for that I There is nothing either jrood or bad, but thinking makes it so’’， Shakespeare says. If bridge becomes the source of quarrels 270

E

■

and petty grievances, we are abusing it. After all, it is a game, and must be treated as such. It must not be taken too seriously. What if you are set five doubled as result of a psychic bid? You have the consolation of knowing the same fate has again and again befallen the great Jacoby himself! I find bridge a source of entertainment that has no equal. I believe that the arguments which have been advanced against it have been discredited. No, if you desire a clean, intellectual card game which combines into one the features of mystery, excitement, and drama, I highly recommend bridge. R. Bretzmann *33 THE MOVIE AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC “Let’s go to the show.” What’s on?” “I don’t know.” How often are these phrases not heard ringing through our halls, how often is that not the case in other circles as well ? That is one type of theater-goer — perhaps the more annoying one. But there is another class, we might say a little more conservative, who at least will see how many “stars” Liberty or any such magazine gave a certain picture. We see that the general run of picture is just for that sort of person. Anything for entertainment and a lot of that very same anything. No thought whatever is given to the type of picture or perhaps what it might teach. Teach ? The frequent theater-goer wishes to be made to forget. He gets less out a picture intellectually than a drunkard, who also wants to forget, out of his drink. Ask such a person how such and such a picture was and what do you get as enlightenment? — either “good” “rot^ep”； nothing else. Ask him on what grounds he bases his criticism and you will find that it simply arises from his opinion whether or not the picture was entertaining. Here we must look at entertainment in the sense of producing laughter or lazy enjoy­ ment. This peculiar desire for entertainment and the peculiar conception of true entertainment that permeates the souls of modern Americans has led to mass production in the movie industry and inevitably to a very inferior type of picture. Occasionally a producer attempts something really intellectual or instructive, something entirely different, something that is not merely entertaining. He falls down deplorably. A director will take a classic work of some author, repro­ duce and fail mainly because of two reasons. First of all he does not realize the utter absurdity of attempting certain types of books. He is not aware of the handicap that he us under. He does not see, and if he does, he blinds himself to it, how 1m* possible it is to do justice to a certain author’s ability of th inking, of describing and driving home scenes which the fast 271

(Xnlt moving screen could not depict. A writer can describe some action 01，scene, describe the characters, give you their thoughts and impressions. If we concede the screen the ability of adapt­ ing： itself rather closely, the fault would still lie with the swift­ ness of the action. A scene is flashed. It might contain every detail of an author’s rather lengthy description of it, but the next instant it has disappeared. And what remains ? — practi­ cally nothing. Why ? Simply because you are forced to visualize a two page description in, at the most, twenty seconds. The second and more inexcusable fault lies not with the condition but with the producer himself. He will sacrifice art for dollars. Stuff the pockets; that’s our business. Let some­ body else worry about the intellectual side of our culture. “Metro-Goldwyii-Mayer” has as its motto: "Ars gratia artisn. A beautiful motto indeed. But we would rather choose a more fitting slogan: **Stultitia gratia pecuniae”. The producer knows only too well that the title sells his picture and the picture itself matters little. Think of “Moby Dick!” What a desecrati?n, what an insult to Melville’s talent. To begin with, “Moby Dick” is less adaptable to the screen than “Hamlet” is to tjie stage. And after the film was completed, the only clue to its identity that remained was the title. Melville has no trace of the love element and also for the sake of his work, for the sake of the purpose of the whole book his story has an appropriate ending, which filmland dared to deny. Picture Melville’s ••Captain Ahab’’ to yourself and then try to find such a charac­ ter in the film. You can’t. But how could the screen bear such a coarse, crazed, bloodthirsty monomaniac in its delicate love scenes. Consequently the producer blinded himself to Captain Ahab and made* a “Rudolph Valentino”. In such pictures as “The Case of Sergeant Grischa” and “The 导wan” 、ve are struck by a peculiar phenomenon. "Sergeant Grischa” 'vas criticised as being too gruesome and was thrown over­ board. That very picture was released somewhat later as “Her Soldier Lover”. It was lauded and those same scenes were gobbled up with the greatest relish by the movie-world. “The SwanM was never released with that title. The producer sold his picture to more people by naming it, "One Romantic Night* . As someone recently said, “The modern American seems to enjoy nothing- more than to get ’gypecT H. Buch，33

THK GHKAT STRUGGLE History is said to repeat itself. Egypt, Babylonia, and Assyria can therefore show us many an event, which thereafter repeatedly took place among the nations of the world. They

were the first great powers to show us to what great heights a nation can raise itself among： its fellow-nations. Likewise they also showed to what depths that same nation may fall after its work has been accomplished and decay set in. Greece and Rome then wielded their mighty power, only to lose it again in their struggle against the new powers, which were making themselves felt. Ever since mediaeval times the countries of western Europe have held the sway over the world. How long will it be ere they must also follow their predecessors in the path of decay and ruin ? Indications are that it will not be long：. Germany was worn out in the World War and is still facing destruction under the burden of vast debts to the allied powers. France is again a comparatively strong power, but it is very doubtful whether she can regain sufficient power to become the leading nation of the world. England is experiencing much internal as well as external trouble. If her colonies once become completely inde­ pendent, as they soon may, England can quietly bid farewell to her power and majesty. And who then, we may ask, will pull the strings, which move other nations to do as the world power dictates ? Will it be the United States, the creditor to the whole world ? Possibly so, but let us remember that the United States is recognized as a world power rather on account of its vast wealth than on account of its political or strategic position. Our statesmen have not yet learned to play that “hard-boiled” game of chess, which European diplomats play so skillfully. Europe is watching our rise to power with a jealous eye, and our country is slowly losing favor among the European peoples. Nevertheless, the United States and Canada might be able to construct a political, economic, and military machine strong enoujrb to make the rest of the world do their bidding1. .Russia is trying her best to develop the country into a leadnig nation. With the huge natural resources which lie.^ almost untouched, ia her vast territory, she has good possibilities of attaining her ambitious aims. But Russia still needs a consider­ able period of time and probably a change in the form of government before she can become the mistress of the 'yorld. it is much to be feared, however, that all these nations will cut other’s throats, before they will permit one in their midst to b^ome the ruling nation of the earth. . inis is to be feared, for powers are rising in the Orient, which “扣 powers wvvclo…____________ wnich may well rival the of the Occident. At_______ various k!?655 , 'vorlA’s history has there been a gigantic struggle H^'[eenithe East and the West. Such was the struggle between the Persians, the clash between the Moors and nKs, and the later struggle between the Turks and the Euro273

peans. Each time the West conquered and checked the Eastern invasions. But the East only retired long enough to refresh it­ self by a few centuries of sleep. When she awoke anew, she again tried her strength against that of the West. And the East seems to be now in such a period of awakening. Signs of such an awakening in the East are clearly indicat­ ed by the activities of Japan. Japan’s population is alreadj^ finding it impossible to crowd itself into the small territory in her possession. She finds it necessary to expand. Finding the Orient already densely populated, she will no doubt turn her eyes to the Occident. Who can tell but that Japan from her little isle, may follow England’s example and build herself a world empire in all corners of the earth. Japan is at present showing her shrewdness by carrying on her war-like activities in China at this time, when she realizes that the Occidental countries still are suffering from the effects of the last war. She is thus building up her power while other nations are afraid to hinder her for fear of being drawn into another war. Undoubtedly the United States will find in her a strong rival as a leading world power. India is beginning： to object strongly to British control and it is only a matter of time, till the English will be forced to grant India self-government. If India would become modern­ ized enough to do away with seperation of the people into castes and could unite herself under one religion, she would soon be­ come an independent and mighty power. . . u China will also some day become a veritable giant, if other nations rouse it from sleep as the Japanese now are doing. A combination of these three Oriental powers would place an un­ limited man-power and natural resources into their hands, which they would soon learn to handle effectively against the Occident. The question is not whether there will be another clash between Orient and Occident, but what the outcome of this clash will be. Will the Occident again withstand the attacks of the Orient ? Will the white race unite itself against a com­ mon foe, or will they foolishly weaken themselves and become an easy prey for the yellow race ? The next century may al­ ready give our descendants the answer to these momentous questions. W. Hoepner *33 THE AMERICAN WOMAN ,v. Euripedes declared, 4*A woman should be good for everyln? home, but for nothing away from it.” If he were livtpday, I think this old Greek dramatist would have but few people agreeing with him. Most modernists have discarded the 274

theory that ‘‘woman’s place is in the home as so much senti• mental rubbish, but according to some business women home is the best place in the world for a woman. These women believe there is something wrong with the old saying that “the work of the woman in the home is never done”. Office girls usually work from eight-thirty in the morning until five-thirty in the evening, with an hour off for lunch. The work of the woman in the home begins at about six o’clock in the morning and is sometimes not ended until very late at night. Since I’ve had no experience in the business world and very little in the home，I cannot draw definite conclusions to prove which is bound by the strongest shackles. The eighteenth century was the age of woman’s struggle for recognition in politics; while the twentieth century marks the realization of her efforts. For centuries women have been homemakers. Since they have gained some freedom they are applying- their wealth of experience to the solution of the problems of "municipal housekeeping’’. That is, they have formed clubs and, in groups such as these have furthered the building of playgrounds, and have done much for better management in reform schools, asylums, and other county and state institutions. Women have had great in­ fluence in the general promotion of social purity. Their cam­ paigns in the interest of public health, morals, and happiness have accomplished great good. In Shakespeare's ‘‘Hamiet’’，we came upon this well-known passage, “Frailty, thy name is Woman’’. Of course, women by nature are of the weaker sex, but their accomplishments have proved beneficial to our whole country. Today the average young woman has broader shoulders and hips and is much healthier than her mother was when she was the same age. This is without a doubt due to the Physical Education in our present schools. State laws have made this physical training compulsory. Some of our greatest fliers, swimmers, skaters, and bowlers are women. In this present period of depression, one will find that in many homes it’s the woman who is supporting1 the family. We owe our very existence to Woman, and therefore should give her more credit than she has been getting. She is needed in the home, in the city, and in the state. Every time some. thing goes wrong, or if we want advice, we always confide in Mother. Her advice proves well worth following in most cases. We agree with the old adage, 44What is Home without a Mother?”，but to fit in with the topic we shall take license to change it to, ‘‘What is anything without a Woman?,\ L. Trapp ’33 275

The literary program presented by the Philomatheans on January 13 was arranged by Mr. Luther Schliesser; Prof. W. Schumann was the critic for the evening. Since this is the bicentennial of the birth of the poet William Covvper, Mr. A. Bolle chose to make his audience better acquainted with that noted poet in an original speech on his life and work. . The “Glowworm,” an ever popular piece of music, scored another success when Messrs. Waldemar Dobratz and Melvin Schwenzen played it as a duet, especially arranged for cornet and saxaphone. As encore they played “The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise.. Miss G. Wendland has earned for herself a reputation as one who is able to give good readings. - -For this program she gave “China Tea Set” and “Bed Time Stories” by Williams. The following are the ideas expressed by Mr. A. Buenger in his original speech entitled “The Chapenge”： Discontent, trouble, and turmoil are very prevalent in all phases ol our present age. For this condition our generation, which has received the most wonderful education ever afforded, and that very education itself are blamed and ridiculed. This challenge 've should keep in mind; we should fit ourselves to cope with these problems so that we may have a stabilizing influence. As final number on the program there was the one-act play bv Roger Wheeler: ‘.Pin Money.，，It is a light playlet, revol­ ving- about the request of the business man’s wife for a regular monthly allowance.

Reinhard Schoeneck Mr. Kennedy Harold Pratt, Helen’s brother Norbert Ehlert The Phi Gamma Rho presented a program on February 3. The master of ceremonies was Mr. Robert Kaschinske. Prof. Schumann acted as critic. The Mixed Chorus opened the evening’s program with *'Tis The Evening^ Holy Hour” by Beethoven and 'The Vi­ king Song” by S. Coleridge — Taylor. The president, Mr. Kasper did the directing. Mr. Orval Kreie commemorated the 300th anniversary of John Donne, a poet and clergyman under James I of England. Mr. Roman Biesmann followed up this information by read­ ing and explaining a few selections from Donne’s poetry. Next the Adophilos Quartette, consisting of four Freshmen, made their initial appearance. They are Messrs. C. Broecker (1st Tenor), G. Barthels (2nd Tenor), H. Fleischer (1st Bass), and W. Thierfelder (2nd Bass). They sang “Mammy’s Li’l Boy” by J. A. Parks and “Der Kuckuck，” a German folksong. The extensive applause afforded them is sufficient criticism. The playlet, “Good Medicine,” written by Jack Arnold and Edwin Burke, was enjoyed by everyone. The play is of a humorous nature and the actors took their parts very well.

^ijirntnu Since we have just battled through another final examina­ tion week, H. M. has suggested that we obtain Junior opinions on our semester tests. “Are semester examinations of appreciable benefit to the average Northwestern student?” H. G.—"Semester examinations are of benefit in that they make us review (perhaps look over for the first time) the mate­ rial covered during the semester. The exam week is the one week during which all students apply themselves. One might say that it is a 'get acquainted* week for a few of the fellows. A good review is never harmful. One bad feature about the exams is that they teach us to ‘cram’. They give us the idea that we can study for all our tests on the night before we are to write. R. G.—“Yes, to the average Northwestern student. They give the average student who has really studied his lessons 281

i ^Math ^

|

throughout the semester and therefore possesses a fair knowl­ edge of the subjects another chance to review them.” A. B.—“Yes and no! The review is usually crammed, and crammed facts are not retained. Yet if the student has had a low mark all along, the semester exam might pass him. In this way, yes, a benefit. If the student receives a higher mark than his report mark—no benefit.” W. H. —“No, semester exams are only a nuisance.’’ W. L. D. —“Final examinations are all right; for if taken seriously and with the correct spirit, they afford an excellent opportunity for review. Some benefit must be derived even from ‘cramming：’. On the other hand, the final examination is of little value, or even unfair, if stressed too much in the grad­ ing of a student. For if the student happens to have an ‘off day’，either mentally or physically, how can he give an adequate account of himself in the test ? Hence final examinations should be a minor item in the grading of students.” R. C. B, “Certainly and let’s stress the word ‘final’，for it means that the student is finished with the material. There is also this benefit for a certain type of student: he must cram for about one week. If he had no such examinations he would get no mental exercise whatever throughout the year.” H. K. — “The final examinations should be called exanima­ tions; they take all that is in your mind and leave a blank or at least a headache.M

Why do the students of Northwestern seldom read the publications of other schools? It certainly should be of interest to us to learn especially of the educational changes, and to study editorials that are profitable for students of all colleges. We suggest the following for incentives: Au^usiana Observer (esp. its ‘‘Curious Club” column), The Kound Tabic (Editorials), Old Gold and Black, Gollegc Chips (“I’ve been Reading” sections), Capital Chimes (Book Column), and Stoulonia. The predominance of the practical in American education is again manifested in two of our recent Exchanges. The Jan. issue of the Luther College Visitor (Nebraska) contains a detailed' explanation of a new point credit system in extra-curricular activities. One requirement: ‘‘Every student must carry at least twelve hours or three-fourths secondary work up to the passing grade of the institution (70%). However, bonafide special and music students may take part in the literary and musicial activities at the discretion of the faculty. And the Augsburg Echo of Feb. 4 says: “For some time the college students who are particularly interested in the studies of chemistry, physics, and biology have discussed the possibilities of organizing a Science Club.5 * The Echo further reports that Augsburg Seminary (Min­ neapolis) has enlisted in the war against economic enemies: “Tlie Augsburg Chorus and Church Society participated in a benefit concert given last night—for the relief of unemployed.” 283

Our great Washington has a worthy companion to be honored with him in a 200th anniversary celebration. College Chips of Jan. 20 announces the sacrifices that are to be offered to one of the princes of the kingdom of Orpheus, Franz Joseph Haydn.— “The two hundreth year after his birth finds the world paying tribute to the great genius that created the symphony and the string quartet. ” Two other anniversaries, which concern Beloit College chiefly, are mentioned in the Jan. 20, issue of The Round Table. On that day Professor Dinsmore celebrated his 70th birthday. He is head of the botany department at Beloit, and has been a member of the faculty since 1888. In 1920 Ginn & Co. published his *4General Botany” and his 44Botanical Labaratory Field Manual”. And on Feb. 2 Beloit celebrated its Founders’ Day. The school was chartered in 1846. — “The college was founded through the efforts of the Congregational and Presbyterian Churches to meet the educational needs of the new region of the Northwestern Territory opened up by the BlackhawkWar.” 一We extend congratulations to Prof. Dinsmore and his college. “American college students are becoming socialistic minded, it was revealed in the conference session of the Intercollegiate Student Council of the League for Industrial Democracy, which was held recently in New York City. Two hundred and twentyfive students from fifty-three American and Canadian colleges met to discuss aims and methods for liberal students in the year ahead. Many of the delegates had been instrumental in their own communities in aiding workers seeking to form unions, or in securing relief for destitute striking miners and textile workers, and agreed that Socialism was the only satisfactory way out of the economic crisis.” (The Stentor, Feb. 10.) Racial self-respect should clothe the spirit of the negro, urged Principal Moton in an editorial headed ‘‘Race Pride” (Dec. number of Tuske^ee Messenger): ‘‘There never was a time when racial lines were less apparent than today. —You and I belong to a race that is perhaps the most looked down upon, although not now as much as some years ago.—The vice-presi­ dent of the U. S. boasts of having Indian ancestors. What an uproar, were his ancestors of Negro blood!—It becomes us to have race pride and respect, not to explain or to give reasons or excuses, and we have broken down much of the nonsensical Negro blood barrier and the subsequent prejudices. —Some negroes think that God cursed them. Keep in mind that you are made in the image of God, and if you respect and revere that image, men will respect and revere you.’’ 284

Wliitcwatcr 34; Northwestern 15. January 16. Whitewater. — With forward Krueger providing the fireworks in a fast breaking offense, the Whitewater Teachers’ basketball team defeated Northwestern 34—15. Not only on offense, but on defense also, the home team proved superior. So closely did they cover their opponents that North­ western was forced to shoot from well out on the floor most of the game. Only McGowan and Harke found vulnerable spots in the Peds’ defense, and they sifted through to score but four field goals. Free substituting in the last 10 minutes slowed down the play and allowed the visitors to partially close the gap. The Northwestern players lacked the dash and drive that they showed for at least one half of the game against Valparaiso. The boys appeared tired early in the game and could not cope with the speed and accuracy of the Teachers.

Coach Kleinke’s men have won but one contest in their first seven starts this season. Wednesday night’s game with Milton was the fourth consecutive defeat for the Black and Redmen. Criticism has been heaped on the players so profusely, and so many suggestions have been heard concerning a change of present conditions, that to add our opinion would merely make matters more complicated than they are. One thing, however, is certain. The squad is laboring under difficulties which makes it impossible for them to play much better basketball than they are. They have no difinite system of offense or defense by which they can be gauged. Each player uses his own judgment as to good basketball, and plays his game accordingly. Northwestern played on practically even terms against Milton, but the visitors’ accuracy on free shots was remarkable, which finally kept the Goslings in the race during _ the first half by scoring 5 points. The score at half time was 13—9 in favor of the visitors.

attlt Score at half: Milton 13; Northwestern 9. Free throws missed : Milton 2; Northwestern 4. Referee, Kumrow (Minne­ sota). Lake Forest 24; Northwestern 26. January 23. Watertown. — Northwestern wins by two points. Set that line and make it permanent. Northwestern college entered its last game before mid-year examinations and nosed out Lake Forest just when it seemed they would succumb to a spectacular second half rally. Trailing 13—12 at the conclusion of the first half, the Black and Redmen used every bit of speed and wizardry they possessed to whip their rivals 26—24. All of Northwestern’s regulars must be given credit for their thrilling, outstanding play. Harke, however, deserves an extra slap on the back for intercepting a pass and scoring the winning points before the final gun. Then there was “Abie” Zimpelmann. His eagle eye was at its best in this game, as he dropped in two long side shots in succession to put his teammates in the lead after the second half began. Capt. Martin and Kiefer were more efficient defensively, although their guarding at times was rather close. Lake Forest undoubtedly lost its game on free throws. _ Given 20 opportunities on charity tosses, they made but 4, while Northwestern missed only one throw out of 7 attempts. The Cherry Blossoms defeated the Northwestern preps in a close preliminary duel by a 21—20 score. Hallemeyer, Tertia, starred for the preps by scoring 12 points.

Milwaukee Normal 37; Northwestern 28. February 2. Watertown. - Coach Kleinke’s men had hopes of starting out their final basketball stand of the season with a victory over Milwaukee Normal. However, their rally in the second half fell short of its mark and Milwaukee State’s greenclad cagers triumphed over the Goslings of Watertown 37 to 28. Northwestern started out with a rush, held an 11 to 8 ad­ vantage in the middle of the initial period, and then fell back terribly to find themselves behind, 18—13, at halftime. Hohler and Ernst slipped away from their guards many times for easy pot shots. After the intermission, a vieve’’ defense enabled the Teachers to go on another scoring spurt. Harke, however, kept the Goslings within striking distance with 5 baskets. In the last, few minutes of play Northwestern was guilty of much ragged and wild passing, literally handing the Milwaukee basketeers the ball for field goals under the hoop. In the preliminary game, the B team, trailing 15—9 at the half, made a wonderful comeback in the last period to defeat St. Peter’s Lutheran church of Fond du Lac 26—23. The team was under the direction of “Hank” Meyer.

Referee, Levis (Wisconsin). MiKon 12; Norlliwestcrn 30. February 6. Milton.—Northwestern college^ redmen did some heavy gunning in their return game with Milton college, but were defeated in one of the most thrilling; shooting orgies by a 42 to 30 score. Displaying a brave willingness to take long chances and a novel ability to convert them into scores, both teams swept madly down the floor in quest of a much-desired victory. Delayed offenses and tight defenses were forgotten by both 288

teams in a scramble for baskets, and only Milton’s ability to score heavily in a late first half rally gave the blueclad proteges the impressive victory. . Milton certainly had an “on” night. They performed tricks with the ball; appeared like sleight-of-hand men as they spun the ball among themselves with lightning speed. Stevens, Milton guard, and Art Harke, Northwestern for­ ward, vied for scoring honors. The former tallied 17 points, while Art accounted for 12. Northwestern’s substitutes showed up well during the time they saw action.

Score at half: Milton 23 ; Northwestern 10. Free throws missed : Milton 6 ; Northwestern 3. Referee, Agnew ; Umpire, Shadel. Lake Forest 46; Norlhwcslern 15. February 10. Lake Forest. — Yes, after losing to Northwestern 26 to 24 at Watertown, the Gold Coasters took sweet revenge and completely smothered our boys at Lake Forest by the one-sided 46 to 15 score. It sounds impossible for our boys to stoop to this decisive count, after they took a brilliant victory from the Foresters two weeks before, but Northwestern was out of the picture from start to finish, and Lake Forest eased through two periods of play without opposition.

The Northwestern College hockey team downed the Watertown Falcons here February 7th in their first game of the season 4 to 3. Our boys took an early lead when Biesman counted in the first few minutes of play. Capt. A1 Bussewitz and Grosnick scored in the second period, and little Oscar Siegler drove home a tally in the final session. The Falcons scored a goal in the second and two in the last period, but attempts to tie the score were fruitless, when Northwestern’s defense covered over. 290

The semester examinations were attended this year by a veritable epidemic of colds. The sick-room was soon filled to capacity and subsequent patients had to find quarters in evacu­ ated bedrooms in the dormitory. Many students were unable to write their examinations during examination week and were forced to make up later those examinations which they had missed. The examinations resulted in a few casualties this year, including, among others the Geiger brothers, who returned several days late, as did also Gieschen: Broeckei% who “took off” several days after the finals, ostensibly to recover from the “after-effects”： and Frederick Thierfelder, who went home on February 10, after having spent about a week in the sick-room. In a 50-game pinochle series just recently completed, the Kaspar-Batzlaff system proved its superiority by withstanding successfully the onslaughts of the Freitag-Kaschinske system and coming off as victor of the series. So the Lenz-Culbertson sensation hius possibly started a new fad at Northwestern, that of establishing endurance records in a field hitherto rarely attempted. . Luther Schliesser's birthday was duly observed by his classmates and friends on February 5. A host of presents lay spread out for him on his table in the dining-hall, instead of being presented to him in the usual way in the classroom. Ever since “Hefty” Haefner has had the football letters on his desk, there have been no end of visitors coming: to find ?ut when the letters are to be awarded. Many of the inquisitive ones are prospective letter men, no doubt! Changes were made in several of the rooms after the first half of the school year. Sturm and Zilisch moved up to third 291

floor and Hagedorn and Beckmann took their places in Dobratz’s room. Peter Rasmussen is filling the vacancy left by Beckmann in Buch’s room. The “Vogue” is no longer giving a special rate to students, so now it remains for someone of the student body to start a pressing and tailoring establishment agaiin, as we had several years ago when the ‘‘Royal Tailors” were still iin business. Not long ago supper was served at 5:30 instead at 6:00, the usual time. Of course three-fourths of the students came late. The Sextaners and tutors, having been among the first to get there, were also first to finish and took great pleasure in “shag­ ging out early. ’ ’ Several students, including R. Weyland, M. Lemke, Wicke, and others, attended an interesting lecture on India, given by Dr. Brux under the auspices of St. John’s Walther League of this city. The rest of this column has been prepared by Messrs. Buch and Gensmer, and is devoted to the class of ’33, since this is the Junior number. . . . Hoepner drove home, after the final examinations, with Sch\venzen and his (?) girl friend. If Hoepner had not insisted on sitting in the front seat too, we could probably remove the question mark. But Hoepner may be excused for this, since the car was a sport roadster and everyone knows how impossible a rumble seat is when the temperature is hovering within ten degrees of the zero point. Buenger was unexpectedly called home by the sudden death of his mother on the 21st of January. He returned again on the Monday following examinations. . • Ed. Knoll has been limping around for two weeks nursing an.injured heel which he contracted during basketball practice. His only regret is that he was not playing football at the time ; then he could have said that there were seventeen players on top of him when it happened. .. Since our Latin professor insists that any person desiring to speak to his neighbor during the period must drop a nickel into the professor’s pocket, the room has become comparatively quiet. The second volume of the Elementary Language Grammar of the Knoll-Radloff New International Language will appear approximately on June 16. For particulars see the editors! Judging from the article in this issue and from the one in the previous number, there seems to be a “bridge war” raging between the Sophomores and the Juniors. To be assured of an impartial decision, we appoint the Seniors as judges and eagerly await their verdict. 292

卜㈣融㈣j Al. Mass and John Raabe are planning to attend the tennis match at the Milwaukee Auditorium on February 28 where Bill Tilden is to defend his professional tennis title. Knoll, Ha^edorn, and Martin Toepel went tobogganing Fri­ day evening, February 5. Ed. says there wasn’t much snow, but that they had a fine time nevertheless. Without doubt many students have been wondering why Resting was so downcast for a week or more after the finals. Well, this is the first time he ever received only a “Good” ！n Greek. According to one of our professors, we should not ridicule or despise those students who wear small-rimmed hats. Yes, not long ago he even praised Al. Mass for setting and support­ ing such a sensible and economical style during the present depression. The Juniors are not far behind when it comes to setting en­ durance records. There is “Wally” Dobratz who has not spent a single week-end here this school year, and who has not skipped one day of cornet practice for almost a year now. The Junior class mourns the death of one of Hans Martin’s goldfish, which departed this life on February 12, after a very brief illness. That same day we had fish for dinner and for supper, perhaps to celebrate the memory of the departed goldfish.

-This year's Junior Class is different from most other Junior Classes in that it has three Coeds in it. They are Betty Faber, Lillian Trapp, and Gertrude Wendland. Betty is the President of the Girls’ Rooms; Lillian is the Editor of the Notes; and Gertrude is “engaged” in more ways than one. On January 19, Ruby Holzhueter underwent an operation for appendicitis at St. Mary’s Hospital. We do not have to wish her a speedy recovery since she has already resumed her work at school. Helen Nauman and Florence Kuckkahn accompanied our basketball team to the game at Whitewater. To the question “What are you doing this afternoon?” the answer most frequently given is, “Skating”. Most of our Coeds enjoy this fayorite outdoor sport. Since most of our Coeds have been “indulging” in skating, several of the Freshman girls thought they would start a new fad, that is they have sleighride parties to which each guest brings his or her own sled. The girls decided that they have put an end to that old argument of who is to pull the sled up­ hill again after having slid downhill. Probably you would like to know who the girls are. Hoping I will have to suffer no serious injury, I impart to you (without their permission) the originators of this idea as being, Eleanor Coogan, Dorothy Groth, and Clare Scheblack. Paap, Several former Coeds have paid us visits. Myrtle . Comm., and Gladys “Snit” Hallett, ex. ’33，were seen in the Girls’ rooms during exam week. For the sake of those who have not as yet asked her, Glenna Rasmussen wishes to announce that the new college student bearing her family name is in nowise related to her. The attendance at the weekly gym class hasn’t been very large the last few weeks. It seems as though the girls take turns at being sick. Although the crowd has been small, we always manage to have enough to have a good game of basket­ ball, the result of the game being several baskets and several “floor burns”.

CHANGE OF STAFF The Black and Red has completed another stage of its history with this, the last number of Volume XXXV. Already we are considered as the 4 ‘old staff” and as we, with a sigh of relief, and still somewhat reluctantly lay down our tools, new hands are ready to take them up. We wish them success and joy in their work. As we look back we see many things which we might have done, as compared with the few things that we have accomplished. Nevertheless, we have tried hard, and we wish to thank all those who helped us in our work. The staff of Volume XXXV takes this opportunity especially to thank Miss Trapp, who wrote the Co-ed Notes, Mr. Oswald, who sent us the Seminary Notes, and the typists, who spent very much time on the preparation of each number. With the April num­ ber the new staff takes over the work. The new staff : Editor-in-Chief___ __ Associate Editor........... Business Manager … Advertising Managers.

GLIMPSES FROM THE HISTORY OF NORTHWESTERN I have before me a History of Northwestern College written on occasion of its fiftieth anniversary in 1915. Prof. Hoermann’s history covers almost one hundred pages. From these pages I have picked a few facts that might be of interest to some of our later alumni and present students. To older graduates they may bring： pleasant memories. . The Wisconsin Synod was founded in 1850. The necessity of having a school, especially a seminary, was soon realized. The Methodists and the Evangelical Association did extensive missionary work among1 the large number of German Lutherans that came to Wisconsin. They were very successful, because Lutheran pastors were far too few to serve such large numbers. All our pastors had to be acquired from Germany. One student from Wisconsin was sent to Gettysburg Seminaiy in Pennsylva­ nia to prepare for the ministry. But this school was found to be too far away to be of any practical value to our synod. The Missouri seminary was not used, because the relation between the two synods was not very cordial at that time. . An institution to train our own pastors was discussed in 1859 and decided upon unanimously in 1862. The theological 299

seminary was the real beginning of Northwestern College. To raise funds for this seminary project the synod sent the Rev. Bading to Germany. Dr. Moldehnke was appointed pro­ fessor of theology and began instruction in September 1863 with three students in what is known as the Gardner house, located on Fourth Street. If a seminary was desirable, a college was certainly also necessary; for students had to be trained for the work in the seminary, and an academy for the training of paro­ chial school teachers was also necessary. Consequently a college was included in the very first plan. The questi6n of where the new institution was to be located caused quite a spirited rivalry between the adherents of Mil­ waukee and Watertown. In 1863, however, the final count showed 19 votes for Milwaukee and 45 for Watertown. As mentioned above Dr. Moldehnke opened the school in 1863. By the close of that year he had fourteen students. The zeal of this faculty of one and his students can best be appreci­ ated when one looks at a bit of their schedule. College and seminai'y courses were given side by side. The five days of scho­ lastic labor began at 7:30 A. M. and continued with an hour’s intermission at noon until 5:30 or 6:00. The following Monday schedule is interesting: — A. M. : dogmatics, church history, exegesis, German, geometry, Latin; P. M.: New Testament Greek, Libri Symbolici, English, Hebrew, Old Testament Inter­ pretation, general history, geography and Symbolical books in German. Besides this daily schedule there were weekly Greek and Latin exercises, German and Latin compositions, and on every Friday evening even a disputation on some historical or ethical question; the students also took turns in providing an oration for every week. And there was no vacation ! On Sa­ turdays the students found recreation in doing the housework and preparing the adjoining field and garden to furnish them sustenance. Most of them were not blessed with much worldly goods, and the more daring ones were sometimes sent to the neighboring farmers to gather supplies that helped keep the wolf from the door. Dr. Modehnke was at the head of all these JJ^vities and besides he attended to his duties as pastor of St, during the absence of Rev. Bading. The synod had difficulties in obtaining funds for the school irom the very beginning. It must be remembered that the Civil W^r was raging during the years of the founding of the insti­ tution. The drain on Wisconsin both in money and men was by fmall. But our school progressed nevertheless. On uiy zz, 1864, a site containing five acres for the proposed builaThe building was to be erected at a cost 910,000. Besides a professor's salary of $1,000 a year and support for thethat, majority of the students also had to 300

1 be raised. The greatest expectations for monies centered about the results of Rev. Bading’s European journey. Rev. Bading had been received by the king of Hanover, had preached in the Berlin cathedral and had traversed Russia - always pleading the cause of the little Lutheran seminary that was to be called into being in distant Wisconsin. The mission was a success, but where and how to get money continued to be the great question for many years. The first president of our institution, Prof. Adam Martin, was not at all pleased with the location of the school. He sug­ gested that the college proper be moved to Milwaukee and that Watertown be allowed to retain the preparatory department and the theological seminary. The board authorized him to try to raise the necessary funds in Milwaukee for the change, but the mission was a total failure. In 1868 the synod condemned every form of union service with other denominations. President Martin’s vigorous object­ ion to this decision finally caused his resignation from member­ ship in the synod and also from the presidency of the college in the spring of 1869. Martin’s successor and the second presi­ dent of the college was Lewis 0. Thompson. In the year 1869 the synod also acquired the services of Rev. Augustus F. Ernst for Northwestern. Speakers at the synodical session of 1870 compared the col­ lege to a sinking1 ship which was only kept afloat by the utmost exertion, and the big leak through which destruction canie pouring in was the lack of financial support. For this condition there were several reasons. A frame building to supply dor­ mitory room had to be erected in 1868. At the same time the campus was enlarged by the purchase of an adjacent tract of 39 acres. When the synod met the following year there was an instant and spirited response to the needs of the college. This spirit also helped the academy, which was to be sacrificed for economy. • In June, 1870, President Thompson resigned his office as president. Prof. Ernst was elected as his successor. Soon after Prof. Ernst became presicident of the institution expresses a college seal was purchased. The seal beautifully . . the aim and purpose of our school. The original drawing was made by the Rev. Mayerhoff. Every diploma issued by the faculty has born its impress : it survived the fire of 1894 and is still in use. The Greek temple in the seal is to represent the study of the ancient classical languages. Over and above the Greek temple, however, stand the dove and the Hebrew word, Jehovah, which represent the governing spirit of the school — the Gospel. The lyre, too, is significant. Luther placed music 301

second only to theology. Music is to have this high esteemlalso at our college. It also was the Rev. Mayerhoff who donated the first bell the college ever possessed. It perished in the disastrous fire of 1894. The bell in use at present was a gift of the ladies’ society of St. Mark’s. , The beginning of the college library was made by president Martin during his first year in Watertown. He prepared a course of lectures and delivered them here in to\vn and the pro­ ceeds were used in establishing the library. This example was later followed by president Thompson. Most of the early library was made up of donations from various sources. Let us now take a peep into the dormitory during Dr. Notz’s inspectorship (1873). We find that the students’ rooms of those days needed cordwood and were in many respects quite differ­ ent from the rooms of to-day. The students themselves provid­ ed the study-table and the book-shelf; in one of the corners was a stand or bench with the waterpail and a tin washbasin; in another corner stood the little cast iron stove. The wood it consumed had to be sawed and split by the students themselves in regular turn. These somewhat primitive surroundings in no way hamp­ ered the development of academic excellence. Visitors to the institution in those days were amazed at what they found: teachers that wrote and conversed in Latin of Ciceronion purity and students that used that language in reviewing1 the lesson before the class. Latin was freely used, not only in the study of classics but also in the religious instruction of the seniors. In the Greek recitations of the upper classes grammatical, histori­ cal and archeological discourses were given in Latin. Besides the weekly tests seniors wrote six original Latin essays on historical and other subjects. All classes had eight Latin peri­ ods a week. To-day the seniors have three. In a “gymnasium” in Germany a teacher is expected to hear 20 classes a week at the most. Some of our first teachers had as many as 37 a week. Commencement exercises were held for the first class on July 2, 1872. On that day orations were delivered in German, English and Latin, which has been accepted as a tradition that shall not lightly be broken. In 1874 there was only one candi­ date for a degree. He gave a Latin oration. In June, 1872，it was resolved to grant all students that finished the regular classical course the degree of Bachelor of Arts. And in. 1873 the board resolved that “oui，graduates now pursuing their theological studies in the seminary at St. Louis may be given the Master’s degree if upon finishing their work m St. Louis they submit a thesis and dissertation in German, 302

I缈】n English, or Latin.” Dr. Notz had one hundred copies of this diploma made, but only two students took advantage of the op­ portunity. The frame dormitory which was erected in 1868 was de­ stroyed by fire during the Christmas recess of 1874. By Sep­ tember 1, 1875, the building known to-day as the “old dormM and the wing known as “the prep chapel’’ was ready fur use. The well on our campus was drilled in 1890. It is 103 feet deep. No visitor familiar with its merits passes it by to-day without stopping- and quaffing the sparkling liquid that has re­ freshed generations of students. The “old pump” is still highly esteemed in spite of the more convenient city water now in use. The stoves disappeared from the students' rooms in 1892. Heat is now supplied by a central heating plant. During a thunder storm in the summer of 1894 a bolt of lightning struck the flagpole on the cupola of the old college building. The fire left nothing but the naked walls, rent and blackened. Within the next year the synod erected the recita­ tion hall we now have. On May 30, 1905, Prof. A. Hoenecke, D. D., was the prin­ cipal speaker at the occasion of the laying of the cornerstone for the new dormitory. The degree, Doctor of Divinity, was confered upon Prof. Hoenecke on occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of our theological seminary (1903). Prof. Francis Pieper of Missouri Seminary received the same degree at that time. The old frame gymnasium was complete on Nov. 15, 1877. This building served various purposes until it was finally dis­ mantled in 1910. Students had their living quarters in this “shack” after the fire of 1894. On October 20,1912, our present gymnasium was dedicated. This building is largely a donation from the Northwestern Club which is made up of alumni living in Milwaukee. . . In closing let us take a historical glimpse at our college colors. Black and red were chosen as the college colors in 1897 for the simple reason that no other college had this combination up to that time. When the choice became known the following interpretation of the meaning of this color combination was of­ fered :—Black is the first color of the German flag, and red is the first color of the stars and stripes — that can only mean a German-English college for Americans. The school was found­ ed by Germans and its teachers were almost exclusively Geraian. The German element is steadily losing ground. But that will never hinder us from clinging to and revering our old college standard. — O. Heier 303

VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS AT NORTHWESTERN PAST AND PRESENT The Military Company The Military Company at Northwestern was organized for various reasons. Through the Military Company the students learned discipline; they corrected bad habits in walking; they built up their bodies by means of the exercises, and they had many good times on marches and at sham battles. The Company was organized by August Schauer in 1892. Mr. Schauer was chosen as the first captain. Julius Dammann was chosen first lieutenant and John Anderson second lieu足 tenant. The rifles for the Company were obtained through Senator Solliday. Two swords were presented the Company by George Brumder, and the ladies then attending Northwestern gave the Company a large silk flag. The Military Company flourished for many years. They appeared often on marches. They marched to all the neigh足 boring towns and were always welcomed heartily. # The interest in the Military Company seemed to die out about 1923, and it was finally dropped in 1929. Many of the students were sorry to see the Military Comp足 any die out. Parades and sham battles more than made up for the tedious hours of drill in my estimation. The Northwestern College Band The Band was organized in 1877 by Professor Preller, who was chosen as the first director as soon as the band was organ足 ized. The first instruments were bought by means of money collected in town and among the students. The Band has worn various uniforms during its career. For several years they gave up uniforms altogether, but soon adopted them again, since the Band almost always accompanied the military company and, without uniforms they appeared rather shabby beside the smart Military Company. The Band, as also several other organizations, is often under a handicap, since many of its stellar players graduate each year. By much practice, however, this difficulty is usually overcome. The present band numbers 35 pieces aud is under the directorship of Prof. Westerhaus. Literary Societies Very many literary societies have existed at Northwestern, but only a few have existed for any length of time. 304

The Beta Rho Literary and Debating Society, which was founded in 1897, was the fifth society of this kind founded at Northwestern. The lives of the other four societies were of very short duration. The Beta Rho Society finally deteriorated on account of lack of interest and was also dropped. In 1904 two societies existed, the Sigma Phi and the Phi Lambda Sigma. Both of these societies died out by 1906; for in 1906 the Philomathean Society was founded. Later in that year the Lyceum Society was also founded chiefly to establish rivalry, which would spur members of both societies on to greater efforts. In 1916 the Lyceum changed its name to the Phi Gamma Rho. The Phi stands for friendship, the Gamma for art, and the Rho for oratory. Both the Phi Gamma Rho and the Philomathean exist to­ day. Each society has about 40 members, The societies have programs alternatingly on Wednesday of every week. In recent years both societies have united in presenting a final play at the end of each school year. The rivalry between the societies has died down considerably, but very much interest is taken in the work which they do. The Male Chorus The Male Chorus was founded by Professor Bolle in 1908. Professor Kuhn directed the Chorus for a short time, reliev­ ing Prof. Bolle when he was suffering from ill health. At present Prof. Bolle directs the chorus. ， At first all the music was copied by hand, but this has been remedied since that time, and the Chorus now has quite a com­ plete library. When the Chorus was founded, it had about thirty voices. The Chorus has increased until now it numbers about sixty voices. The Orchestra When the Orchestra was founded in 1898 it consisted only of six members, but through the years it has grown larger. Between the years 1905 and 1915 the orchestra was in a very flourishing condition. After this, interest seems to have lagged. Since 1926 the Orchestra has been growing again until at the present time the Orchestra is in very good condition. At present the Orchestra is being directed by Prof. Herrmann. The Mixed Chorus The latest musical organization at Northwestern is the Mixed Chorus. It was organized in 1927 by Prof. Sitz. The num­ ber of members has not varied much since it was founded. This year it has 30 members. Prof. A. Sitz is the Director. 305

The Turning Society The exact date of the founding of the Turning Society is not k nown, since the earliest records were destroyed by fire, It wass founded before 1885, however, and at first exercised out of doors. Cold weather, however, soon showed the need of a building, so a Turn Building was built. The students took considerable interest in turning for about 30 years. Interest however gradually died, and nothing now remains of the Society but memories among the graduates. E. W. Kasper LOOKING BACK IN ATHLETICS N-o-r-t-h-w-e-s-t-e-r-n Rah ! ••• Rah !... Rah! For over fifty years Northwestern teams have been greeted with this accompaniment of loud cheers. Former students of our institution will very vividly remember the athletic activities during their stay in Watertown. Today we too can look back with satisfaction on the record our men have made in football, basketball, and baseball. Football was sanctioned by the factulty late in the year 1897. Since time did not permit many games, only three teams were opposed by our eleven in that year. The first contest was played against a local squad, the game resulting in a victory for Northwestern by a 20 to 0 score. Oconomowoc Alumni was trounced to the tune of 14 to 0, and the Hartland Athletic Association came to Watertown to be the first to down our crew, 16 to 10. Thus the start had been made. The first season was one which might correctly be termed a successful one. Many.interesting games were recorded in the annals of Northwestern^ football history since that memorable year. Of . the five games played against Marquette, Milwaukee, we were defeated twice, victorious once, and held to scoreless ties on two other occasions. In 1901 the final result was 0 to 0. ' ‘Fullback Reynolds of Marquette was weak when he entered the game. As a result, time was taken out, with few exceptions, after every down. This did not give our boys an opportunity to warm up.” Marquette came out victor in 1902 by a 29 to 6 count. Three years passed before another contest was scheduled with the Hilltop. This year, 1905, found Northwestern tramp­ ling over their rivals, singing the blues of 18 to 0. The Milwau­ kee Sentinel commented the following on this decisive victory: “For a time at the beginning of the game things looked dark for Northwestern.…The form displayed by Northwestern came 306

3=ten j as a great surprise, even to its own followers.... It is to Zeisler, the shifty quarterback, however,, that most of the credit for winning the game is due. He is without a doubt the best quarterback who has played against Marquette in the last two years.... Judging from the form he displayed against the local team, he might prove a valuable addition to the University of Wisconsin squad.” In 1906 “the exceedingly high wind pre­ vented Northwestern from scoring, in the first half on a for­ ward pass, and in the second half a place kick by Kowalke was turned aside by the strong- wind.” The set-to resulted in a scoreless tie. In the last game with Marquette the following year, our opponents rollicked home with a 23 to 0 victory. After the remarkable exhibitions of the period from 1902— 06, the decision our warriors gained over Lawrence university in 1908 was of vital importance. It marked the first and only time in the history of our institution that we were able to defeat the strong eleven of Appleton, Wisconsin. The wearers of the Black and Red inflicted the crushing 6 to 5 defeat before a crowd of 1500 spectators. It was Ernie Hoffmann, ’10, who “picked up a fumbled ball, and with A. Berg close behind preventing a fatal tackle, spurted down the field for thirty yards, stopping only when the ball was placed directly behind the goal posts. Prof. E. Berg; Saginaw, might be more than pleased to remem­ ber that it was he who kicked the goal which spelled defeat for the White and Blue. _ However, not all our efforts were crowned with glory. It must be mentioned that the Black and Redmen were more suc­ cessful in football prior to the year 1915. One of the.most bitter lickings Northwestern ever received was the one Ripon college inflicted in 1915, when the home team scored eleven touchdowns and ten goals after touchdown. Our same team, however, held Beloit and Milwaukee Normal to scoreless ties, and took a game from the strong Whitewater squad by a 12 to 7 score, Whitewater's star was tackle Agnew, who today guides the athletes of the same institution, and Northwestern^ shining lights were Binhammer, Zank, and Kuske. . . Milton college’s goal was crossed ten times in 1917 to fall before our boys 64 to 0. In the same year Milwaukee Normal suffered defeat 28 to 0, Whitewater was again trounced 18 to 0, and before the soldiers of Camp Grant, Rockford, who came up to Beloit especially to see the football game, Beloit turned back our men 10 to 9. The next years rolled on without much ado. From 1920 on, Northwestern was able to win but periodically, and to the present day it has not been able to record a truly notable season from the standpoint of victories. The best game in recent years was the one played with the University of Wisconsin’s ‘B’’ 307

squad. It resulted in 18 points for the Madison boys over North­ western^ cypher. “Coach Uteritz’s statement that the North­ western eleven gave his squad the stiffest and most obstinate resistance it had met this year can be taken as a brief sum­ mary.” Erv Uteritz has recently been appointed director of athletics at Wisconsin university. ‘ ‘This assertion from a foot­ ball mentor whose team hitherto had defeated the North Dakota. “Angies”，Oshkosh Normal, and the Michigan “B” squad will explain why the university team did not pile up a big score.’’ But whatever its faults according to individual oppinions, foot­ ball still stands alone as a classic sport. For a brief period of two years, from 1902—04, basketball played an important role in the history of Northwestern ath­ letics. Engaging in contests among themselves, the boys soon saw great possibilities in this game, and finally received permis­ sion to play against outside teams. Our boys lost the first game in 1904 to St. John’s 30 to 15, won the second from the same team 46 to 10, and were victorious in the third contest over Company “G” of Madison by the score of 40 to 16. Sacred Heart college then fell before the onslaughts of Northwestern 80 to 6. What a team! What a team ! “We simply ran away from our opponents; the score tells the story.” However, “Tlie athletic event of the season took place on Washington’s birthday when we met the University of Wisconsin basketball team in our hall.” It was a victory for Wisconsin 41 to 31. ‘‘They have one of the strongest teams in the west and the showing that we made against our husky opponents does us credit.” Steinmetz, known as the father of Wisconsin basketball, was the star for the visiting team, collecting a total of 25 points, while forward North did the best for Northwestern with 3 field goals and 18 free throws. _ . The play of this indoor game was not resumed again until December 1926. With Zilz and Rosenhauer, stellar, forwards, Northwestern was able to make a reputable showing in the little Five basketball conference. The best season was enjoyed in 1929—30. In this year Pless, Kettenacker, and Harke were largely responsible for winning eleven out of sixteen games, “and losing to teams which were either first in their conference or very chose contenders for the championship title.” Many contributing factors give baseball a charm unique in sports. It was undoubtedly the first recreational, play our students took an active part in. From the very beginning our spacious campus, with its flying baseballs and fleet-footed ballhawks, presented a picture of spirited activity. Since records before 1897 are not at our disposal, we will merely state the most successful seasons Northwestern had after that year. In 1902 our team had a clean record, not having lost a game. 308

"It is certainly a thing of joy.... that we had a team which has earned the undisputed title of “Smaller College Champions.” ..Credit must be given our battery. . To see Pieper and Koch retire batters, oftentimes three an inning, was a feat for the lover of baseball.” By defeating Milton 14 to 3 in 1903 North­ western again became the smaller college champions of the state. With victories over Sacred Heart, St. John’s, U. of Notre Dame, Wayland A., Milton, 4 C. Business College, “Jumbos” (Watertown), and Whitewater Normal, our team of 1905 claimed the championship of the Midwest. Members of this wonder team were Wendland, Kumm, Woyahn, Nieghorn, Heilman, Kowalke, Luetke, Diehl, and Whyte. We salute their success! Notre Dame, Ind.. was defeated here in a fast game 8 to 6 on home runs by pitcher Kumm and catcher Wendland. With eight victories in 1907 our baseball team again received the banner of championship. • ‘And we believe that the majority of our op­ ponents approve of the statement made by Lawrence: ‘If any team was destined to defeat us and take the championship, we are glad it is Northwestern’.’’ Northwestern successfully carted home another college championship in 1916 when they walloped the strong Ripon college nine by a score of 7 to 1. Westendorf pitched through­ out the season in fine form, while Eickmann strengthened the team admirably with errorless ball at first base. The most successful season in recent years was the one our Northwestern boys enjoyed in 1926. Six contests were won, while only one was taken by our opponents, and that by the Watertown City Team. For the past few years, now, our base­ ball teams have been playing in the local industrial league. This in brief is a retrospect of times immemorial in the history of Northwestern athletics. If we do not always win the games we play, let it be said that we have set to work with un­ failing diligence, and that we have plied our task to uphold the standards of clean, wholesome recreation. Armin Schultz ’32. THE BLACK AND RED 1897-1932 For 35 years the Black and Red has been recording the history of our school and the world in general. It saw and recorded many facts which now are history. Such events are the death of Ruskin, Queen Victoria’s death, the assassination of President McKinley, the Spanish-American War, the first aerop lane in Watertown, which landed on the campus, the World War,.and many things of the kind. At Northwestern it saw a school with board sidewalks and unpretentious buildings de­ velop to our modest college of to-day. Through those years it 309

has portrayed the Northwestern student as he was, in his seri­ ous and mischievous moments, his problems and his pranks, so that we may catch many a glimpse into the life of former children of our school. The Black and Red, however, was not the first paper at Northwestern. The first volume of the Black and Red mentions a paper called “College Review.” This paper was written out in manuscript form by the Senior class, and was circulated among the students. This paper’s claim of being the predecessor of the Black and Red is wrecked by an old alumnus who in Volume IX of the Black and Red claims that distinction for a paper written by the Junior class during the Junior-Senior class war of 1895. This paper was also written in manuscript. The claims of this paper are also shattered by a correction sent in by an alumnus, who had in his possession twelve numbers of <4Der Studenten Schnick-Schnack” which was started in Sep­ tember, 1875, and was published monthly. And now the claims begin to become almost ludicrous, for the first number of this paper mentions six other papers published at Northwestern before it. Some of the names of these are “Die Concordia’’， “Die Fliegenden Blatter”, ^Der Student1 *, “Ho Angelos”, “Der JBote”. These papers were written on foolscap with pen and ink sketches in different colors. And now the Black and Red. The first move toward pub­ lishing the Black and Red came not from the students, but from the Alumni Society, which in its meeting of 1896 made arrange­ ments for the starting of a College paper. The first number was released June 15, 1897. It was to be published four times a year at the subscription rate of 25 cents per year. The staff included six men. The first number contained a literary section, articles about local organizations, and a Local and Personal column. The aim of the Black and Red is expressed in a short paragraph in the first number: "The chief object of our paper, therefore, will be to estab­ lish some means of communication between the institution and its former pupils, to furnish information of what is going on in the college to those living at a distance, and at the same time to keep its readers informed, as far as possible, of what has become of former students.” This then was the beginning from which our present Black and Red has come. In the intervening years many changes were made. I will mention a few of these changes. r . In the staff itself. As said the staff began with six men. This number was gradually increased from time to time. In Volume V two more were added. Volume VI records nine nien with.—positions as follows: Editor-in-chief, Associate Editor, Business Manager, Assistant Business Manager, Local Editor, 310

Exchange Editor, Society Editor, Athletic Editor, Personal Editor. In the course of Volume VII, a correspondent was ap­ pointed for each college class and one for the entire preparato­ ry department. The next year the staff again dropped to eight men and remained so until Volumes XIII and XIV when the staff included ten men. After this the number vacilated be­ tween eight and nine up to Volume XXXV when ten men again compose the staff. In the body of the paper the changes were more signi­ ficant. With Volume III the paper became a monthly. In number four of Volume I the beginning of our present Exchange column was added. This was at first made ' up only of extracts from other papers. In Volume II the Personal and Local col­ umns were separated and we have the beginning of our present “Locals” column. The same volume also introduced an “Alum­ ni” column, although this at first was a section containing articles sent in by alumni, and it was not until Volume IX that personal notes concerning alumni were added. In Volume VII we find the first Seminary Notes under the heading ^Cor­ respondence From the Seminary”. The Co-ed Notes made their appearance in Volume XXI as a sort of subdivision of the Lo­ cals. The present Volume sees the beginning of a new column “The Forum”. This does not mean that there were not other columns. Some of those which appeared for a time and were dropped are *'Speculum Nostrum,,J “Editor’s Drawer’’ and “De Rebus Omnibus’’• 一 R. Kaschinske

SARGASSO SEAS In recent years there has been a steady retrogression in all outside activities at Northwestern. This undesireable condition ought soon to be changed. A reawakening- must be brought about in some way or other. Retrogression should be converted into progression. Perhaps the quickest way to produce this result is a change in the educational system. The readers of our Exchange Column in the Black and Red will undoubtedly have observed that many of the leading col­ leges and universities have already been working for some time along these lines. They have found the old system inefficient. Who will deny that we can say the same about our system ? Permit me then to present a pl^n adaptable to this school. In the foreign language courses the inductive method slightly modified would be used. Two months at the most would be devoted to.grammar. The professor could point out the things that the student ought to know and merely acquaint him with the less important facts. These preliminary exercises being completed, work could be started on translation. Most of the work would be done in the class room. This would do away 312

with much of that brutal memory work which the professors so often warn against and the students so little abstain from, A quicker transition from the study of grammar to translation itself would surely aid very much to create an interest in the scholar. Every student would have to take the language for two years. He could then decide whether or not he wished to continue. The other subjects would be treated in a more or less general way. The student would not be annoyed with unneces­ sary detail. After the professor had sufficiently treated a cer­ tain phase of a subject, the student would be permitted to com­ ment on that phase and if he had any interesting information to add he could do so. This method of procedure, I believe, would not only benefit the student but also the professor, whose crowd­ ed schedule hardly permits him to do the work he would like to. By this method he could “pick up” much information through the student. Such a change in the educational system would bring a new life and new spirit into everything at Northwestern. Our musical organizations would forge ahead, the Black and Red would teem with interesting material and we would have win­ ning teams in sports. This is no exaggeration. For, if the stu­ dent were not burdened with daily class preparation he could devote more time and effort to those things in which he took an especial interest. The system has been employed by a few of the professors for some time. Undeniable benefits have been the result. The cooperation of the other professors is all that is lacking to make it a success. 0. Kreie，32

ALUMNI —Rev. M. Hillemann，’90，Marshall, Wis.，is confined to the hospital at present. Rev. Henry Geiger, 707, Leeds, Wis.， preached for Rev. Hillemann at Marshall on Febinary 28. Fred Bullwinkel, who attended our college in the eighties, recently resigned from his position as treasurer of Jefferson County which he held for many years. Among1 our visitors were Norbert Berndt, ex ’34; George Rowe, ex '32; Elmer Gentz，ex ’34; Robert Fuge, ex ’37; and H. Buchert, ex ’32. The following theological students from Thiensville honored Northwestern with a visit since our last publication:— Elmer Koehlei•，’30, and Erwin Froehlich, John Dahlke, Oscar Naumann. Otto Engel, Alfred Schewe and Cornelius Trapp of the ’31 class. Martin Franzmann, ’28, now at the University of Chicago, has been appointed to the Shorey Fellowship in Greek. This appointment gives Mr. Franzmann the opportunity of two quarters of work at Chicago and two quarters in Europe, espec­ ially in Greece. Mr. Franzmann is the second Northwestern graduate to hold the Shorey Fellowship in recent years, Prof. Walter Wente, now at St. John’s College, Winfield, Kansas, also having had the appointment for a year, in 1927.

com哝饬依 $ The Literary program of the Philomathean Society present­ ed on the evening of February 17, was arranged by Mr. Adolf Buenger. It was different from other presentations, for Mr. Buenger broke away from what seems to have become a con­ ventional arrangement: to conclude the program with a short play. The program was somewhat spoiled by the defective memory work on the part of the speakers. But, no doubt, the fact that they were seated on the stage throughout the program added to their nervousness. The speakers for other programs had a chance to quiet their nerves to some extent by pacing to and fro behind the stage prior to their appearance. The band opened the program with a novelty number; Harold Bennet’s march * Military Escort In Five Ways” by Henry Fillmore. As encore the march 4,Chicago World’s Fair Centennial Celebration 1933” by Carl Mader was played. In his original speech, “The Economic Situation”，Walter Hoepner portrayed some of his humor while he presented a few facts concerning our present depression. Meinhardt Witt’s original speech on “Washington’s Army Life Behind The Scenes’’ showed Washington from an angle from which he is not commonly known. ::The Old Home Down On The Farm” by Fred P. Harlow and “American Patrol” by Meacham were the pieces played by Norbert Ehlert on the clarinet. Now followed another original speech, Herbert Nommensen, in his “Our Transitional World/J showed that our present era is probably a great turning point in history. But only future generations will be able to know whether this is a crisis or not. 316

I The last original speech on this program was ^Our Un­ known Gift From Minerva”，by Edward J. Knoll. He pointed out that a better training of the use of the imagination would allow the student to see his own future and would thus greatly help him to prepare properly for his life’s work. The Quartette consisting of Messrs. Schewe, Biesmann, Wicke, and Bolle concluded the program by singing two num­ bers: “Sailing’’ by Godfrey Marks and “Hear Dem Bells” by D. L. Me Cosh. Prof. E. Kiessliri^ was critic for the evening. Another literary program was presented by the Phi Gamma Rho Society on Wednesday, February 24. Mr. Orval Kreie arranged the program and Prof. Schumann acted as critic. Rudolf Weyland showed his ability at the piano by playing the rather difficult composition “Rigoletto” by Verdi-Liszt. As response to the applause he played ‘‘La Chasse’’ by PaganiniLiszt. Next Paul Rahn gave a very interesting talk on “Aviation During The World War.>, The speech was somewhat marred by the fact that he swallowed many syllables. “Anchored” by Watson and '*1 Love You Truly” by Carrie Jacobs-Bond were the two selections sung by Harold Wicke. Rudolf Weyland accompanied him at the piano. “Did Washington Know And Appreciate Music?” This question Erwin Schroeder answered when he appeared as the second speaker on this program. In this connection let us say a word about the prompter. He is an all important man when one’s memory fails as it is bound to do; especially to beginners. But of what use is one who mumbles so indistinctly that the speaker can’t understand him, yet the audience hears the dis­ tinct rumbling? Painful gaps result. The “art of prompting’’ must be learned like everything else; but the least that may be expected from a prompter is that he be understood. The last number was the three-act play **A Physician In Spite Of Himself.” Moliere, who first works out his chief character and then builds a suitable plot around him, in this play hits at sham of doctors and at married life. The play was a pleasing piece of work and was carried out quite well by the following cast: Sganarelle, husband of Martine Martine, wife of Sganarelle---Robert, Sganarelle’s neighbor . Valere (Servant of Geronte)Lucas (Servant of Geronte}— — Geronte, Father of Lucinde — — Lucinde, daughter of Geronte Leandre, in love with Lucinde .

The play was originally written in" French. This abridged edition of the original five-act play was’: translated by John Radloff, one of our own students._____ ____ ____ _ Z7~ ^Zll\ r^T-Since the Seniors have dedicated this number~of the Black and Red to our Northwestern College, we thought it appro­ priate to reproduce a part of the first College Note Column, (VoL XI No. 1), which appeared just twenty-five years ago. IN MEMORIAM “The 19th of March, 1907, marks an important event in the affairs of our institution, so important that we deemed it appro­ priate to be commemorated in our college paper. It is the re­ moval of our dear old windmill. Early in the morning of the day named a party of men appeared on the college grounds with hammers, saws, and axes. The physiognomy of their faces portrayed less mental activity than the faces of those who ordinarily frequented the pump. When recitations began some of them could be seen near the top of the tower, pounding off the uppermost boards,—while others were engaged in transmitting them to the bottom and in carry­ ing them away. On account of the noise caused thereby some of the pupils and at times even the most attentive ones, could not help casting an occasional glance through the window. But the teacher did not seem annoyed at this—no doubt because of the importance of the event. At 2 o’clock these men had completed their destructive work. The windmill tower of North­ western University, after serving us for fourteen years, was no more. The different parts had been carefully piled up along the sidewalk. Only the pump remains and the four posts to which the tower had been fastened.”

‘‘Do you believe that the curriculum of Northwestern should allow some choice of subjects in the late college years? R. K.—Yes, in as far as it limited the number of subjects each student carried. It would, I think, induce the student to work more deeply into every subject. The present system, with its large number of subjects, makes for a superficial treat­ ment of all of them 0. H.—Yes. I think Greek should be made optional in the Junior and Senior years. More time could be spent on New Testament Greek, which is much more interesting and conforms more to the purpose of our training. 0. K. -Yes, because then the student could devote more 318

time and effort to those subjects in which he was interested, and in which he intended to do more work in later life. H. M.—The aim of this school is to give its pupils a general education. And I think that all the subjects, with the excep­ tion of the ancient languages, carried in the last two years, are necessary for such a general education. Concerning the classi­ cal languages—if a person were absolutely sure that he would not need them for continuation of his studies at another school, or for his life’s calling, then it would be better for him to have his choice.

We are indebted to The Slentor of Feb. 25 for the announce­ ment of a new institution at Lawrence College: “Formal adop­ tion of the constitution of the Campus Forum recently estab­ lished the first organization on the Lawrence College campus for the study of international, social, and economic affairs.’’一 “Following are parts of the adopted constitution: Article Two —The object of the Campus Forum shall be to create a sense of responsibility for formulating definite opinions on important matters of the day.—Art. Four, Paragr. 3:-—Each discussion committee is to follow constantly the development in its par­ ticular field— —.” Envy cuts us again with news about a foreign lecturer at Lake Forest. (Front page of said paper.) <4Prof. E. F. Nickoley of the American Univ. at Beirut, Syria, will give a talk on ‘Ameri­ ca’s Opportunities in the Near East.’一The event is beingsponsored by the International Relations club of Lake Forest.” The lecturer is evidently of higher rank then most speakers in his class, for we hear that ‘ ‘He has lived for over a quarter of a century in that part of the world and has held some of the most important positions in the educational field, including the acting presidency of that university of which he is now dean.” And ‘‘Prof. Hitti of Princeton writes, 1 doubt if there is any­ body in the Near East who can interpret the many problems of the Near East better to the American people than Prof. Nickoley.’ ” And also the Galvin College Chimes of Feb. 4 contains a column about the aforementioned. He spoke at Calvin on Feb. 8. 320

The editorial, ‘‘Co-operation—the Price of Peace,” of the same periodical, says: ‘‘The unusual interest displayed in the annual state Peace Conference is most gratifying. Never be­ fore have there been so many colleges entered in this event; from ten schools located in all parts of Michigan youth came to give expression to youth’s ideal of Peace.”一“Peace is no longer a desirable and ethical ideal; it has become a necessity. If civilization is to survive at all it will demand the most sin­ cere efforts of thinking people everywhere.” The Lullier Echo of Feb. 26 reports a defeat of St. PaulLuther by D. M. L. C., 19-17. The only player especially men­ tioned is Roekle of New Ulm, who scored five of his band’s six field goals. Opportunely does the editorial “System Questioned,’’ (Old Gold and Black, Feb. 27) enter the battlefield over the question of supervision at Northwestern. — "Student government has been on trial here for ten years, and this trial has not yet proved the system to be satisfactory. We cannot say the ex­ periment has been a complete failure, but, to say the most, we must admit that it has proven only slightly effective in handling any of the problems it has faced, It has failed because it has not been given proper student support. Sheer indifference and a tendency to shift responsibility are the chief reasons.” A sword-thrust is made at college papers by K. Porter in the same issue of the Old Gold and Black: “The fundamental weakness of virtually every college literary magazine arises from the fact that it is a periodical. That is, according to the established ritual it is published at stated intervals, regardless of whether the material on hand is first-rate or fourth-rate.—I should like to see, sometime, somewhere, a college literary magazine which would break away from the traditional routine, and also from the traditional format. The editorial board of this magazine would secure—when, as, and if possible—enough material of merit to fill two pages or four pages of the same size as that of the college newspaper page; and the magazine would then be published—but only as often as the quality of the material justified the publication—as a supplement to the col­ lege newspaper. ’ ’

:麵 S Concordia 31; Norlliwcslern 21. February 13. Watertown. — Taking advantage of a wide open defense, Concordia college (Milwaukee) outscored our boys on the basketball court for the second time this season 34 to 21. A great crowd that was present on this evening, the largest we played before this year, departed in very low spirits, utterly peeved at the shabby appearance our Black and Redmen made against a team that should have been defeated. If there was any squad our boys were aiming to overthrow, it was Concordia’s. They were primed for both of these games this year, and fell victim on each occasion. The fact is that # some were tuned up to such a high pitch that, by trying' to win the game at all costs, they actually assisted more in bringing defeat. Northwestern took an early lead, as they have done in practically all their games so far, and then, a few minutes be­ fore halftime, Capt. Krause and Grams ran the count to 16 to 10 when they easily eluded their guards for set-up shots. In the first half of the second period Concordia put some extra pep into the game and soon established a comfortable ad­ vantage of 29 to 18, due mainly to the continued excellent sharp­ shooting of forward Krause. McGowan scored a bucket in the last minute of play to make the final difference of the game 34—21. With this exhibition out of their system, the Goslings im­ mediately began work for the Seminary boys, who have dis­ played a remarkable spunk in their recent games. 322

Referee, Landsverk; umpire, Henke. Liillieraii Seiuinary 30; Northwestern 27. February 20. Thiensville. — Our redclad basketball bombers did a right about face since their burlesque with Concordia last Saturday night, and, with excellent shooting- and ball handling in which all of them shared, chalked up their best game of the current season. The team looked like a veteran outfit against the former students, who earlier in the season held Valparaiso U. to a 15 to 8 score. The tireless play, dribbling, shooting, floor work and defensive play of each individual caused the crowded spec­ tators to rub their eyes and wonder if it was Northwestern they were actually observing out on the floor. However, there was no mistake it was Northwestern at its fastest pace. But oh yes, the score! The Seminary won the game, 30 to 27, but Coach Kleinke*s valiant crew shared the glories of the night. Capt. Pless, Center, and forward Krueger were the chief bombers for the victors. Five times Pless looped, rolled, and pushed the ball through the hoop for field goals, while three points were scored by him from the charity line. The curlyhaired forward put together three field goals, two of them of the sensational variety, and four free throws. The rest of the points were distributed among their teammates. While Northwestern lost, it wasn’t without an outstanding player on its side. The boy in question was dark, stout Barney Kiefer, Watertown lad, whose contribution consisted of four baskets and a tight defense, which raised so much trouble with the Sem’s game. Zimpelmann, Harke, and Martin did 323

Score at half: Whitewater21; Northwestern 7. Free throws missed: Whitewater 14; Northwestern 11. Referee, L. Larson (Wisconsin). Seminary 25; Northwestern 21. March 5. Watertown. — It is generally conceded that the home team has an eight point advantage before it enters a basketball game. In our particular case the home team was unable to grab these points until after the second half began. Trailing 14 to 6 at midway, our basketball cagers unleashed a desperate attack in quest of victory, only to be frustrated by the Lutheran Seminary of Thiensville, 25 to 21. Ragged passing： and wild shooting again marred the play of our Black and Redmen in the first half, who counted but once from the field in the first 20 minutes of play. Pless, ace shooter for the Sem, was outstanding offensively with ten points, while Capt. Martin’s three goals were high for Northwestern. Incidentally, the game closed a rather disastrous year for Coach Kleinke’s proteges. Harke and Schultz wore the Black and Red for the last time in their career as players for North­ western college. 325

Referee, Zilz (Wisconsin). The joys and griefs of another basketball season have quietly passed into history. With the playing of the Seminary game on March 5th, our Northwestern basketeers completed the 1931—32 schedule, which by no means will stand high in the memory of our ardent sport fans. Only two of the fifteen scheduled games were turned into victories, the lowest account to be recorded in many years at Northwestern. In most of the games our boys were outplayed, although not always outclassed. Milwaukee Normal and our own Seminary were perhaps the only teams which could have been defeated, while the play of all the other teams was far superior to that of our boys in every department of the game. Although two men of this year’s squad, Harke and Schultz, will be lost through graduation, there will be a great number of capable players available to make next year’s season a suc­ cessful one. Such men as Martin, Zimpelmann, McGowan. Nommensen, Schewe, Raabe, and Kiefer will again appear on Northwestern’s basketball roster in 1933. Harke’s ability as a point-getter will be the greatest loss to the basketball situation for next fall. At center and forward, he has been the leading scorer for the past three years, and has done his bit for the cause with little dissatisfaction. High point man with 125 points as a sophomore and with 89 in his junior year, he again leads his teammates in scoring this season with a total of 97 points.

Glass Basketball. The inter-class basketball tournament this year provides an extraordinary interest to the individual classes of both de­ partments. In the collegiate department, the Senior class still leads the pack with 8 victories and two defeats. They have been “put on the spot” in every game, but so far have weathered the attacks of all classes except the Sophs. Both the Juniors and the Sophomores have played some fine basketball this season, but the Sophs have shown a greater improvement since the start, and can surely be counted on to give plenty of competi­ tion. Although strengthened by the addition of Fredricks^ the Freshmen have failed to hit a winning stride, a：nd seem destined to occupy one of the lower berths at the conclusion of the tournament. Scores from Feb. 8th to 29 th: Seniors 18; Juniors 15. Seniors 10; Sophomores 21. Seniors 26; Freshmen 13. Seniors 20; Freshmen 16. 327

Standings to Feb. 29th: W L Seniors 8 2 7 Juniors 3 Sophomores ..4 6 Freshmen …-1 9 With men like Schumann, Kirst, and Dobberstein in the line­ up, it seems evident that the Quintaners are far out in front in the preparatory department. This trio of basketeers has figured strongly in Quinta’s offensive ability, which to date has won for them 10 consecutive victories. The Tertia, Quarta, and Sexta classes are having a fine time trying to prevent Quinta from going through the year without a defeat, but they are all merely cutting their own throats, and finding themselves within reaching distance of last place. Even the Sextaners remain in the fight for second honors by virtue of victories over Tertia and Quarta. Scores from Feb. 8th to 29th: Quinta 21; Tertia 20. Quinta 29; Quarta 4. Quinta 17; Sexta 8. Tertia 13; Sexta 15. Tertia 10; Quarta 7. Standings to Feb. 29th: W L Quinta 10 0 Quarta 4 6 Sexta 3 7 Tertia 3 7 College Piickstcrs Score Second Victory. The Northwestern college hockey sextette scored their second straight victory of the season when they defeated the local Mamre team 3 to 2 on February 14th. Reg Siegler ac­ counted for two of the college goals, while Ed Krupsack scored the third tally in the final period. D. Hahm, playing goalie in the absence of Pagels, repeatedly frustrated Mamre attempts to score. Superior teamwork was largely responsible for bringing victory to our red-jerseyed pucksters. 328

Since there was good skating for only a comparatively short time this year, someone hit upon a new idea when the ice of the river began to break up. This new sport is to ride downstream on floating ice cakes, and it presents hazards and thrills enough to satisfy even the most daring, especially if the cake on which you are riding happens to strike a rock or some other obstruct­ ion and is broken. Thus far Bussewitz claims the distance record, having on one occasion floated clown the river for nearly a mile. Some time ag，o Schoeneck relieved one of his room-mates of sweeping their bedroom. When the tutor made his rounds, he was dissatisfied with the condition of the bedroom and repri­ manded the monitor of room 33 for not keeping the bedroom clean. But then, Schoeneck is a Senior and has probably for­ gotten the fine points of sweeping by this time. Football letters for the past season were awarded on Febru­ ary 13th; fifteen players received letters this year. Several students saw the Freiburg Passion Play when it was presented at Turner Hall on February 17. According to their report the Passion Play seems to have been interesting enough, and well worth seeing. The Passion Play has endured for over 600 years since its first presentation, and this mere fact is in itself in no small measure responsible, no doubt, for the attention which the play attracts wherever and whenever it is presented, discounting, of course, the subject with which it deals and which is naturally the chief reason for its popularity. A movement has been started to organize a kind of German Club among the students. The club is to have a very limited number of members to insure the best results. A movement of this kind is commendable indeed in our day, when the German language is being pushed into the background more and more 329

：.；„ here at college. A practical speaking knowledge of even German is becoming more rare year after year, and it’s about time that something were done to counteract this tendency. A number of students took part in the pageant ‘‘Episodes From the Life of George Washington”，presented at Turner Hall on February 22 and 23. A group of students depicted the episode of “Washington in the Wilderness,” which had been arranged by Prof. Kiessling. George Barthels represented Washington at the age of 21，and Carl Broecker took the part of Washington’s friend and guide, Gist. This episode presented them as dealing with the Indians and their chief Half King, re•presented by Ferdinand Weyland. The stage setting and light­ ing were brilliant and pleasing throughout; such scenes as 4 * Spirit of ’76，，，and “Washington Crossing the Delaware” were especially effective. . Harke and Nommensen, our greatest basket-ball enthusiasts, hiked to Milwaukee on February 25 to see the game between Marquette University and Michigan State College. Nommensen had the satisfaction, and Harke the humiliation, of seeing Mar­ quette whip Michigan State. Dean Hotlen was seriously injured while playing basket-ball some time ago. An x-ray, taken at Madison, revealed that a piece of bone one-half inch square had been broken from his knee cap. The accident will force him to miss at least six weeks of school. Buenger attended the funeral of his grandfather at Wauwa­ tosa on February 29. Liesener was absent from classes for several days to attend the funeral of his aunt. For over two months Achilles, the feline inhabitant of room 24, has enjoyed a life of peace and quietude. Not even the tutors have dared to molest Achilles, and lesser visitors to room 24 eye him with awe and disgust. He parks himself wherever he pleases, anywhere from the corner near the radiator to the pile of papers, magazines, books, and what not, on Ed. Knoll’s desk. And for the sake of cleanliness Achilles is subjected to a bath by some Sextaner every now and then, to their mutual dis­ comfort and horror. The Liggett-Meyer Tobacco Company has, through the Miller Cigar Company, presented the members of the Vesuvius Club with a supply of free tobacco and cigarettes. That ought to put an end to “sponging” for a while! Kugler and W. Lehmann were the first to go swimming this year; they took a dip on the 29th of February. That prob­ ably accounts for the blizzard we enjoyed on the first of March. This was really Kugler’s second attempt at swimming in 1932, but the first time he happened to have skates on his feet. Ever since one of the professors’ wives was kind enough 330

to favor some snow-shovellers with delicious coffee-cake, the preps are all eagerly waiting for the next snowfall. The south hall of the second floor of our dormitory has been unusually quiet since the Senior-Junior championship bas­ ket-ball game, for Ed. Knoll has forgotten all about his singing and whistling since that disastrous event. Some of our piano students are planning to hear Paderews­ ki, the eminent Polish pianist, when he comes to Madison on March 14. Who’s Who in the Senior Class. By L. Schliesser and B. Hahm.

The Prep girls have formed a club and have gone on several hikes. Last week the girls hiked out to the lime kiln well pro­ visioned. They were going to stay there until the moon came up, but several of the girls were still hungry, so they came home for their supper. On Saturday, February 20, Glenna Rasmussen, Lillian Trapp, and Betty Jaeger, Comm. ’30, went to the Northwestern basket ball game at the Seminary. Gertrude Koehn, ex ’34, came all the way from East Troy to root for her old Alma Mater. On February 29, Marie Michaelis and Glenna Rasmussen “shpgged” to Hartland. They reached their destination after having accepted three rides. Some may be worried about how the girls got back to Watertown. Well, Glenna brought her car back with her. Yes, and several of the students had a ride in it. Last Sunday a proup of Collegiate girls accompanied by a number of prep boys hiked to Pipersville and back. The boys did their duty in protecting the girls from all the ferocious look­ ing dogs along the way. The Mixed Chorus is working hard on songs for the annual concerts and also for Commencement. Marie Taras and Esther Bartelt, former Coeds, recently visited classes. Miss Bartlet remained here to witness the Seminary game. The Coed attendance at the class basketball games is proof enough that they greatly enjoy them. During the half, the girls can be seen jumping rope or manipulating the punching bag under the guidance of their faithful instructor, “Nibbs” Sauer. The “every man his own sled” system started by some of the girls recently has been officially called the C. G. S. System in honor of the three girls. To refresh your memory as to who they are refer to last month’s Black and Red. Happened at a Class Game: Mabel Zimmermann: Who’s that kid over there? Glenna Rasmussen: Werr! Mabel Z. : Over there.

Rope: Don’t be silly! Hank: Hush! I’m thinking. Rope: No wonder you look silly. An ancient car chugged up to the gate of a race-course. The gatekeeper, demanding the usual fee for automobiles, shouted: ‘‘A dollar for your car.” The owner answered with a pathetic smile: ‘‘Sold.’’ Kasper: Say, how old is our Latin professor anyway: Hahm : He must be very old, they say he used to teach Livy. Lawyer: Tell the court what you were doing at 5:30 on March 8. Witness: I was in Holbrook. Lawyer: And what were you doing in Holbrook? Witness: Asking a man a question. Lawyer: Aha! How do you know it was 5:30? Witness: Aha! Yourself—I was asking him the time. Matinee Performance: — Women Without Men — an alltalking performance. Cop: (after chase) Why didn’t you stop when I shouted? Victim: (with $5 and a nimble brain) I thought you said Good morning, Senator”. •Cop: Well—you see, Senator, I just wanted to warn you against speeding in the next township. 334

Amy (Athletic Editor) : I’d die for the Black and Red. Rope : That’d help a lot. Visitor : Do you get much variety in your meals? Student: Well—they have three different names for the meals. ‘•What is your occupation when you do work?” ‘‘I’m an organist.” “A man of such talent should get a job easily.’ “Yes, but my monkey died.” I want a ticket for Florence•’ Station Agent (after looking through his time card): “Where is Florence ?M “Over there on the bench.” i •

‘•Is there any difference between vision and sight?’’ “You bet! My girl is a vision, yours is a sight.” Batz: When is the next train north? Station Agent: In an hour. Batz: And the next south? Station Agent: In 50 minutes. Batz: It’s all right, Otto, we can cross. Sandy: So Ed called you a blockhead? Fatz: No he didn’t make it that strong. Sandy: Well, what did he say? Fatz: He just said, “Put on your hat, here comes a wood­ pecker.” * * * A woman in an old model T was stalled alongside the road. A man stopped out of courtesy. She asked him. ‘‘Doyou know anything about this car?” “Nothing but a lot of bum jokes,” he answered and drove on. Prof. ; (reading to the class) “A horse, a horse, my king­ dom for a horse!’’ Voice from rear: “Won’t a jackass do?’’ Prof. : ‘ ‘Surely, come right up." Coach: (just before Whitewater game) Why the rope? Kreie: I’m going to tie up the game so they don’t run away with us. 335
