There have been a number of additions to the Faculty of the University in the year 1897-98. P ROF. MARK HARVEY LIDDELL was elected in June, 1897, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Dr. Waggener. Prof. Lid­dell is an A. B., A. M. of Princeton, and held a fellowship in English during his last year at that institution. After leaving Princeton, he taught two years at Lawrenceville, N . J., and two years in Philadelphia. He then went to Europe, and studied English two years in Oxford and one year in Berlin. Since returning to Americ-a he has lived in Boston, and has been engaged in editing old English texts for the McMillan Company. Asso­ciated with other distinguished scholars in England and Ameriea, he has just published an edition of the Globe Chaucer. Prof. Liddell is an enthusi­astic follower of the Oxford plan of studying the English 1anguage. PROF. W. S. SUTTON, A. M. (University of Arkansas), has been placed at the head of the re-established School of Pedagogy. Prof. Sutton has been superintendent of the Houston schools for the past ten years. So successful has been his administration that, according to a report issued by Dr. W. T. Harris, United States Commissioner of Education, the Houston school system is ranked as the seventh most efficient in the United Statts. Prof. Sutton's success as a practical schoolman is largely due to the fact that he has always been a close student of the best theories of education. It is this combination of much practical sense with a modicum of theory that makes his work in the schoolroom particularly effective and successful. Prof. Sutton's election and retention as a member of the Faculty of the University of Texas will prove an important factor in enlisting the sympathy and co-operation of the public schools of the State with the University. 18 As an associate of Prof. Sutton, the Regents have elected DR. A. CAS­WELL ELLIS, PH. D., (Clark University, Boston). Dr. Ellis is a specialist in psychology and child study. He is a young man, well posted in his subject, and a captivating lecturer. ROBERT A. THOMPSON, M. A. (University of Texas), has been added to the Department of Engineering. Prof. Thompson has already had one year of service in the University of Texas as a teacher of engineering dur­ing the absence of Prof. Taylor in the year 1893-94. Since that time he has been engaged in the active field of railroad building, and resigned his work there only because he loved teaching and the 'Varsity more. WILLIAM L. BRAY, M.A. (Indiana University), is now professor in charge ot the work in botany in the University of Texas. Prof. Bray has done work at Cornell University, the University of Indiana, Chicago Uni­versity and the University of Berlin. He will enter the examination for his doctorate in June next at the University of Chicago. The unworked field -0f Texas in botany offers Prof. Bray an excellent opportunity for achievement in his line. JAMES ROBINSON BAILHY, A. B. (University of Texas), PH. D ., '97 (University of Munich), comes back to his Alma Mater as instructor in Chemistry. He is a specialist in organic chemistry, and secured his doctor's degree upon brilliant original work done under Dr. Adolf von Beyer, reputed to be the master of organic research. MILTON BROCK:gT PORTER, A. B. (University of Texas), PH. D. (Har­vard University) , received his appointment as instructor in mathematics in the University of Texas and donned his gown for his doctor's degree at about the same time. Dr. Porter's work at Harvard was of such high order as to win from his professors letters of recommendation and endorsement so :flattering that we refrain from publishing them, wishing to spare his modesty. Dr. Porter's papers in mathematics are sought for publication by the leading mathematical journals of the country. WILLIAM TYLER MATHER, PH. D ., '97 (Johns Hopkins University), succeeded Prof. Northrup (who resigned in November, 1897) in the chair of physics. Dr. Mather was for one year a university scholar at Johns Hop­kins. During the last year of his connection with that institution, he held a fellowship in physics. He was then elected instructor in physics in the same institution, but resigned this place to assume his duties as professor of physics in the University of Texas, which place was tendered him by the Regents in December, 1897. Prof. Mather is enthusiastic in his praises of Texas and the opportunity for research work in his department of this University. He finds his school much better equipped than he expected, and promises soon to have the best appointed workshop in the South. BENJAMIN WYCHE, B. L. (University of North Carolina), is the new librarian. He is quiet, modest and unassuming; thoroughly acquainted with the science of keeping in order an up-to-date library. At the same time he holds firm convictions that the greatest need of the University of Texas is for more books, and in this conviction there are many friends of the University who heartily concur. 19 WALTER FREDERICK KELLY, B. L. (Dartmouth), the new physical director, has met a much needed want at the University, and his presence has given an impetus to athletic interests which foretells a great improvement in the excellence of college sports. JOHN AVERY LOMAX is the latest occupant of the peripatetic office of registrar. JOHN C. SANER is the librarian of the law department. PAGE T. LOMAX is registrar of the law department. rz.lS\eoieal @epartment. W ILLIAM SPENCER CARTER, was born in Pennsylvania. Previous to his medical study he was a close student of biology. He gradu­ated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1890, and was awarded the Medical N ews prize for his thesis on" A Study of Heat Production and Heat Dissipation in the Normal and Febrile States.'' Served as resident physician in the Philadelphia Hospital, and later in the Presbyterian Hospital. The latter position he resigned to accept a position as assistant in physiology in the University of Pennsylvania. His promotions in this University were quite rapid. He served successively as assistant demonstrator in pathology, assistant professor in comparative physiology, and assistant demonstrator of physiology. His Summer vaca­tions were spent in Europe, where he pursued original researches at the University of Berne. He has contributed many valuable articles based upon original research to the science of physiology, therapeutics and pathology. Both in public and private relations Professor Carter was popular because of the kindly in­ fluence he exerted, because of his high sense of the duties of life, and because of the purity and earnestness of his convictions. Surely, the medical department of the University of Texas is to be congratulated upon securing Dr. Carter as professor of physiology. CONN L. MILBURN was born in Missouri, but received his education in Texas. He graduated from the San Antonio High School in 1895. He entered the Pharmacy School of U. T. in the fall of 1895 and received the degree of Ph. G. in May, 1897. He practiced his profession in San Antonio but a short while when he was elected to the chair of botany and demon­ strator of chemistry in the medical department of U. T. His earnest and untiring application to his life·work has won for him the highest praise. 20 JAMES WHARTON McLAUGHLIN was born in 1840, at Springfield, Ohio. He was educated in the public schools of.Ohio, and began to read medicine in 1858. He attended a course in medicine at the Cincinnati College of Medicine. In 1861 he joined the First Kentucky Regiment of Confederate Infantry and served as Lieutanent in Company D. Later he joined Gilmore's Company of Scouts and afterwards served with Generals Morgan and Forrest. In 1865, he came to Texas and began a review of his medical studies. He attended a second course of lectures at the University of Louisiana, receiving the degree .of M. D. in 1867. In the same year was married to Miss Tabitha Bird. He practiced medicine in Fayettville until 1870, and since that time has practiced his profession in Austin. Dr. McLaughlin is a member and ex­president of The Texas State Medical Association, and also of The American Medical Association, and The Pan American Medical Congress, etc. In 1885 he made original reseaches in the bacteriology of Dengue Fever and read a re­port of same at The St. Louis Meeting of The American Medical Association. He is the author of a volume entitled '' Fermentation, Infection and Im­munity." The book takes on special interest from the fact that his theory is entirely original and based upon modern teachings of allied sciences. Dr. McLaughlin was editor of Texas Sanitarium and Texas flf.edical News. He severed his editorial connections when elected to the chair of Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Medical Department of U. T. 21 R. D. PARKER, MISS DAISY BRYAN, Mrss ROBBIE DAVIS, D.R.

P\istora~ of '' HISTORY is a record of the deeds of men." This adage is only partly true, so like an ambitious but illiterate merchant friend, I must lengthen it to fit my stock in store. This merchant, on p:tssing a scholarly friend's establishment, beheld over his door in glittering letters of gold (quite fitting, because most of our class are "gold-bugs") these words: Mens sana in corpore sano. He puzzled his brain for a solution of this sign-board's saucy enigma. At last, after a long process of conjectures along the philanthropic and economic principle of ''the greatest good to the greatest number," he formed a resolution and before many days tl1is golden sign greeted his passers-by: Men's and women's sa11a in corpore sano . Likewise, I, according to Art. xxxiii, Sec. 13, of our constitution, beg leave to amend the basic principles of general history to fit the con­ditions of a history greater by far-that of the Senior Class of the Univer­sity of Texas. Therefore, on the following adage shall I proceed : '' His­tory is a record of the deeds of men and women.' ' How can I tell of such mighty deeds in two short pages? Like all true histories, ours is based on fact-at least the men 's part is; the ladies', on fiction since their modesty withholds from your prying (?) historian his longed-for data. In his effort to compress, the historian hopes to be pardoned if these facts are squeezed to the extent of becoming dry. Having canvassed the men after the fashion of a census· taker (a most joyful aud jolly job), behold what remarkable facts have come to light. (1). Our class is artistic, literary, scientific, and sure of the right way, be­cause it has ten applicants for A. B., nine for B. Lit., seven for B. S., and three for C. E . (one of whom is our President), who are ready to survey that "~traight and narrow way" that leads to the heights beyond. (2). We are not only scholarly now, but were before we came here, because ex­actly one half of us were graduates of High Schools or Colleges. That we ever were green Freshmen, we follow in the foot-prints of the Class of '97 and most emphatically deny "from the begining even unto the en)embel"s. Z' Theodosia Lane. 2.' Lee Massey. l..

The effections of the " Sophs." have been few and unimportant-such as sundry courses in "Math.," Latin and Greek, etc. But they have effected the crowning consummation of their lives in passing that heterogeneous concatenation of incongruities styled '' Fresh.'' English. The enormity ofsuch an act exhausted the mental pabulum of most of our members, consequently the defections this year have been numerous. For instance, some of us have failed to grasp the true meaning of "A Study of Dolls. " Kant is easy; integral calculus ridicu­lously so, and translating Sophocles a soft snap, but the profound erudition, the esoteric learning contained in the aforesaid disquisition upon the com­panion of our maiden days was too much for us. But our watchword has been : ' ' In the illuminated dictionary of Sophdom there is no such word as 'bust.' ' ' Consequently we have not done so badly on the whole, even though we could not recognize the '' whatness '' and '' whereforeness '' of the pedagogical-psychologic dissertation upon artificial infants. A History of the " Soph." Class, without an extended inquiry into the Illustrious Lives of Our Two Immortals, L. Ma:iry Kemp (I with­ hold the name for the initial '' L ' ' because it stands for Lemp) and H . Gail Borden, would be no history at all. Mr. Kemp is a lineal descendant of the great Maury of geography fame and Thomas A 'Kempis; but that is not Mr. Kemp's fault, and we hope that no one will blame him for it, for although he was present at his birth and a well-meaning infant, yet he suffered the disadvantage of being helpless. Nor do we wish it to be thought for an instant that Mr. Kemp is even attempting to follow the precepts laid down in his immortal ancestor's celebrated work. Mr. Kemp, unlike most boy~, grew up unaided. This was a first ex­hibition of that originality that has characterized Mr. Kemp throughout his life. At the early age of ten he entered politics, and has been there ever since. His first office was "chief canner " to the El Paso Dog Canner's Association, and he still regards that office as the highest and most delecta­ble which he has yet filled, and he is prouder of it than he is of that proud patronymic-'' the Richard Croker of ' Sophammany.' '' 34 It is said that politics make strange bed-fellows, but the truth of the adage cannot be appreciated until you know Kemp and Borden. Now Gail is not a breezy youth, as is implied by his name; but, on the other hand, his every action is characterized by a child-like blandness-and this is even true of his foot ball playing. Mr. Borden traces his descent (or, as he would term it, his ascent) from Gail Borden-he of the condensed milk, the greatest infant food on the mar­ket, not excepting Mellin 's. Mr. Borden possesses a condensed physique, probably due to heredity. He, like Lemp Kemp, is a politician inately. I have neglected to state that each wire on the "Soph." class has two handles. One manipulates the fair co-ed, the other the sterner-ed without the co. Gail pulls the female wire and Maury the male wire, and the respec­tive attachments at the other end immediately begin to play-not hands 0, Madame K., but Punch and Judy. Gail is an athlete-in his own estima­tion. He can vault-when the line is on the 21-inch mark. He can put the shot-size, 11 ounces. He can jump-2 feet 9 inches. In fact, he is re­markable in his way, and it is with regret that we cease recounting his accomplishments owing to a lack of space. As a history of Washington is a history of the United States, so we re­gard a history of Kemp and Borden a history of the "Soph. " class. And thus considering our duty done-not well, but to the extent of our ability­! cry "peccavi " and quit. :-15 @lass of ' Of. CLASS COLORS :-Old gold and royal purple. ®ffleel"s. First Term. SCOTT w.

As early flowers in the century to come, Famed poets, statesmen, they will be. They study until the bright sun's rays beam No longer from their gold home in the west ; They study until their weary heads dream Of themselves, with Greek and Math. so blest. Should life in gloom hide their rosy bowers, And many a dreary storm blow loud, Yet they will bravely search for flowers And merrily laugh beneath the cloud. And to them will still be deeper thought, As ever onward the years will go ; And to them will be greater virtue brought By time's great wave on its study flow. L. M. L. 41 T HE history of an organization is usually written-if written at all­after some one or more of its members have become famous. Not so with the Freshman Class of '98. We are, as yet, unrenowned; but on the strength of the fact that each of us possesses an almost unlimited amount of versatile talent we have been requested, by kind and appreciative friends, to give the world at large some information concerning ourselves. Even before we had organized as the "Class of 1901 " and had made all of the arrangements necessary for the success of such an organization, we had been recognized as the most promising class of students in the Univer­sity. Since then, our history has been not so much that of class meetings­though they were presided over by competent and impartial officers, and were so interesting as to draw large audiences-as it has been that of con­stant effort on our part to suppress the too frequent exhibition, in our university work, of the talent of which we have spoken. Talent, did we say? No! Genius, great and unmistakable. Genius, most difficult to repress. Genius, which we strove to divert by brilliant receptions in its honor ; by wheeling in Hyde Park on moonlight evenings ; by rowing on Lake McDonald; and by driving to Mount Bonnell. Genius which we attempted to vent in dancing; in gymnasium work; in tennis and base ball; in '' rooting '' vociferously for '' Our Foot Ball Team ; '' and in vigorously "raising our voices to Heaven's dome, in sweet melodious song" when e'er we chose-regardless of the hour. Genius which we sought to propi­tiate by such ethereal offerings as cake and cream ; olives, salted almonds, and dainty sandwiches; and-most ethereal of all-stale bread, and hash. But our greatness was incorrigible. It would persist, to the alarm of cer­tain 'Varsity professors, in making unexpected assertions of its existence by expressing an English idiom in another language ; by accurately -defining space, distance, a straight line, etc.; by pronouncing historical names with correctness of an antiquarian ; or by deliberately observing every item of "form," in some English production. 42 In our efforts to prevent the too frequent recurrence of such assertions we may have played a few(?) pranks, but we have been, withal, such sweet, unconceited children that we have won for ourselves the love-the pure and lasting love-of all who have been associated with us. Where, in the great U. of T., is a professor who has not told us repeatedly of his earnest desire that at least a few of us would remain with him for another year. Certainly some of those in authority will be sorry to hear that we have become Sophomores-so greatly will they miss the quietness of our class meetings. Even the Junior Laws and our associates of the Academic department will regretfully remember the afternoons-now gone forever-spent so pleasantly listening to our calm and dignified debates on informal questions, as, ''Shall a Freshman allow himself to be called 'so green that he'd be mistaken for grass?' ' ' Yet one wicked Soph., despite the the pleasure and profitable instruc­tion that we must have afforded him, is reported to have said that we are not lovable-though the truth of the contrary has been proven-and that it would take an unconscionable time to hammer us into shape. Perhaps rn ; but bronze-the " better kind," the "genius-tempered "-is one of the most valuable of materials, in the artist's eye. We acknowledge that we are the largest and freshest mass of metal ever bequeathed to the University of Texas at one time; but we hope, in all earnestness, to be the greatest and most perfect group ever touched by an artist's hand when we are shown to the world in the first year of the new twentieth century. 43 INTERIOR OF UNIVERSITY.

J OHN NAVERY MOLAX relates that a deaf mute on one occasion said to a blind man, "Get off the earth, my boy, Austin aint big enough for you." The Senior Engineers of '98 in assuming direction and management of The Trans-continental Airway running ''double daily " ships between Dime Box and St. Elmo, made a twentieth century applica­tion of the advice of the talkative gentleman. President Nowlin sat back in the red velvet seat of the smoker devour­ing the stump of a" U. S. Five" as his mind wandered back to his college days and especially to the year he finished school. General Manager Pfeiffer hav:ing stopped at the " First and Last Chance" in Fairview Park, was in a talkative mood. Chief Engineer Parker was reading "Otto." Said Prexy, with the rising inflection, "have you heard of Prof. Taylor, lately ? TNhat ever beC'ame of him ? '' '' Why,'' said Otto, '' I heard last year that he was drowned trying to " measure the flow" of Campbell's and Brown's jaw works, already. You remember when they were Freshmen, yet, they suffered with chronic ' squabbling.' " " And where are they? " said Nowlin. '' From the abnormal development of their disposition to 'fuss ' I would say they made prize fighters,'' said the Chief, looking up from an old and much read copy of Qou Vadis which be held sacred to the memory of Nowlin, the •' butcher,'' who fell out of one of the Trans-continental 's ships on her "trial trip," and who having been injured thereby , sued the com­pany and obtained a judgment. As a result he is now President Nowlin and the chief delights to remind him of the days of his butcherhood and the way he became an Airway President. '' Have you fellows heard of Prof. Thomprnn-Prof. Rat, I might say,'' said the President, not noticing the book the chief was reading. "I hear he got a fine job in some engineering school on a boss work on the 'Elastica,' " he continued. The manager and the chief fainted simul­taneously. Prexy nearly choked on the word, but recovered and brought the chief around with a bottle of '' Old Bourbon,' ' extracted from the pistol pocket of the Executive. The stuff was the gift of Col. J. P. Daly, sometime professional ballplayer, now City Engineer of Paris (Texas). The manager "came to " when the porter stuck his head in the door and shouted "Lover's Lane ! " 47 The president resumed his paper ; the chief lit a cigar and took up the thread of the story he was reading ; the manager lay back in his seat in a semi-conscious state mumbling snatches from Einer Jlfusz Heiraten. Pres­ently the manager and the chief were startled to their feet by an explosion on the part of the president, now a base ball fiend, who was reading the Sporting News. "By Johnson, The Theory of Arches, Ut tensio sickness! Say fel­ lows," said he, "Si Pinson's playin' left field in the Atlantic League!" " You don't say," flatly spoke the chief without looking up. "Dasz ist mir einerlei," said the manager, dryly. '' Who's a lie,'' said the president, making for the management. The chief separated them. '' Ah, sit down, Prexy,'' said the manager; '' if you had half as much in your head as Howard thinks he's got you'd understand me, yet. " By the way," said the Airway magnate, letting his curiosity get the better of his anger, "where's Howard now? And there's Dobbins, Rowe, Miller, Dibrell, Wirtz--" "One at a time," broke in the manager, sarcastically; "we are not dragons with half a dozen heads to talk at once. Besides, we are not walk­ing directories of the universe." " Well, I'll be darned," said the executive, flatly. "I thought you were.'' '' Howard is staff correspondent of the Engineering News for Jack County," said the chief, trying to interest the combatants. "He spoke as if he thought he ought to be editor-in-chief <..f that paper." "Well, well," said Prexy, quickly. "I have some letters in my pocket for you to read, chief.'' Just then the "butch" passed through with an armful of books, one of which he placed on the seat beside the management. The title read : "Lectures on the Evils of the Tobacco Habit," by Rev. Samuel C. Dob­bins, C. E. (Christian Endeavorer). "These letters," continued the president, "are from the fellows I was just asking about. They are applying for jobs as assistant engineers on the Maintainence of 'Vay, as if an airway had any such--" The sentence was never finished. The ship lurched and a crash fol­lowed. She had run into the dome of the Capitol. When the debris was removed from the officials the chief was still reading Quo Vadis, the manager held in his hand the letters which had been filed on a piece of heavy steel wire that came near ventilating the management. The president, who thought he h~ard Gabe's trump, was found crawling on the outside of the present from the Paris Engineer. "For," said he, when speaking of it afterward, " I was afraid that I might be searched at the entrance and a bottle would be evidence against me. I hated to leave as good an article as that behind. I would have given half my interest in the Airway for a clove about that time, and that aint no lie." INTERIOR OF' AUDITORIUM. INTERIOR OF' AUDITORIUM . ' 98.

No longer is that history sufficient which contains ii and consists in a bare record of men and events. The historian must chronicle the development and progress of political, literary, scientific and religious thought-must reveal the spirit of the nation and the age. What then constitutes the history of a class? Shall the historian turn statistician and record the names of the men, their place of birth, their residence, age, and the location they have chosen for the practice of their profession? We have good names on our roll, but, "what's in a name?" Who can judge of a man's character and capacity for work from knowing his place of birth and residence? Age, calculated in years, months and days, can tell us nothing of one's real age, measured by the standard of conduct of body and mind. Few men in the Law Class of 1898 are so old in ways and demeanor as the member of that class who is, so far as years go, the youngest. Shall the history be a mere laudation of the class-as is too frequently the case? The reader, forming his estimate of the spirit of the class from the work of the historian, forms in such case an opinion far from favorable. How lovingly does the historian linger in thought over the class battles and the class triumphs. (We promptly forget the class defeats.) How proudly, how enthusiastically do we discourse to all about what "a fine Junior Class was that of last year." And how proudly and enthusias­tically we shall next year discourse of our record as Seniors. Yet what have we done? A class aged two years to be '' immortalized'' in history ! Who would think of becoming biographer of an infant two years old. Truly, the historian had better been a prophet. How seriously we take our wotk here, and yet, how like a frolic it has all been. Just a series of foot ball games, let us say, with the attendant practice and training. The game with·' Partnership,'' with ''Corporations,'' with " Equity," " Bills and Notes," " Constitutional Law," " Real Estate," "Insurance" and "International Law." Anxious times there were as the 55 dates of these games rolled around. but at every match the team won a safe if not a brilliant victory, with few injuries tu players. Perhaps the closest contest wa5 with Equity. Day after day during the Fall and Winter the class asc;embled on the athletic field and with our reserved and loved Judge Gould as coach, captain and centre, spent an hour and a half in assiduous practice. Many were the fumbles on the snap back and the passes. Many the holes in the line; often did the runner by injudicious work cover much territory and exhaust himself, but make no gain. The historian vividly recalls the last practice before the match; the dass seemed to have '' gone to pieces,'' for never bad it made so many fumbles or done such poor running. Serious apprehensions were entertained as to the out­come of the great game. But when the dust of conflict cleared, it was learned that we had done as well as any previous class, while Waggener had scored the best run ever made in a game with Equity. Fifty men going out from the State University, and entering upon a profession affording one of the widest fields now open for influencing for better or worse the progress oftbe world! W~at account will the Law Class of 1898 give of itself? What shall its history be? Who can tell? 56 @lass of '99. RUDOLPH KLEBERG, WILLIAM PIERSON, J. J. CYPERT, J. A. BRACKENRIDGE, A. L. FISER, J.

Some of the missing ones are rolling pills in different parts of the state; others were not equal to the battles with the work placed upon them and have sought other fields of labor; others still have fallen a victim to that demon that haunts our dreams, and walks with us in our daily work-even now he sleeps not, but when we who are left are dreaming that our labors are nearly ended, we hear a whispered word that sounds like diaethylsulphondimethylmethane and arouses us to re­newed energy. Our class is honored this year by the addition of a New York pharmacy youth. who finishes his course with us. The "Brownies" still remain and are striving patiently to climb the ladder-not of success, but the one that reaches the shelf bottles. The tall German, who loves his pretzel, limburger and beer, talks and fights while others play. The gesticulating little Frenchman, the dudish ranchman, who tells us the newest cut in clothes; the curly haired A. and M. boy, who needs no description; pretty Sam, and brave Will, the spunky man with the moustache, the gentleman from ''Hico,'' and a few others, still are here, so the class still has a fair representation of all nations, kinds and <:lasses of men. We have learned a f ew things this year that it would be well for our followers to avoid, so that when they reach the pinnacle of success as Seniors they can pursue their way with untroubled feelings. We present to you a band of loving brothers, who have dwelt in harmony(?) for two years. No word of scorn or hatred has passed our lips, and we beseech you to follow this example of the " Noble Twelve." Let no bottles or beakers fly at each other's heads ; let nothing tempt you to have sticky fingers when handling your classmates' apparatus; swear not, and be sure that your conduct in the laboratory is exactly as you would have it in your drug store. And Juniors be careful not to be led astray by your Seniors. We begun our year under difficulties. Perhaps some remember of a sudden journey toward Fort Worth, and others a camping trip on a lone island with little to eat and less to drink. You remember the recreant lecturer wh0 never came back, and the many other disadvantages. Never­theless, the end of our labors is in sight, and we will soon be out upon life's sea, preparing concoctions for the yellow fever fiend and perhaps for wounded soldiers. May each one of us reap a rich reward according as he has labored, and may a feeling of true friendship for our fellow students exist forever. No more histories of this famous class will be written; so, we will bid adieu to all, and may the blessings of mankind, especially of pharmacists, rest upon your head.

J To bring the several classes of pharmacy and medicine into closer communion and ·fellowship, to facilitate the discussion and transaction Qf whatever business may concern the general student body, and to afford a necessary channel of communication with the Faculty and the Board of Regents, whenever occasion for such intercourse may arise, was the purpose Qf its establishment and is the purpose of its continuance. Its history dates from the 26th. day of April, 1894, and the current being the fourth year of its existence, the record of its past must be brief. Summed up in a few words, it may be stated that the Students' Council, from its incipiency up to the present time, has supported every measure favorable to the welfare of the student body; that it has sought to promote student enterprise, and that it has on several occasions actively participated in carrying out the plans aud projects of the Faculty and Regents. It was provided by the founders of the Council that one of its purposes should be the editing and publishing of a monthly medical journal, to be entitled The University Medical. During the past three years such a journal has been successfttlly published. It enjoys a wide circulation and may with credit be compared with any other medical publication of this country. There are three regular meetings of the Council during each year, special meetings being called by the president whenever occasion arises. The officers are elected semi-annually, and are chosen indiscriminately from the several classes of medicine and pharmacy. The entire student body constitutes its membership, every student of good standing being ipso facto a member of the Students' Council. Having, as above indicated, satisfactorily accomplished the purpose and function for which it was originally instituted, the Students' Council soon won and has since held recognition and approval from the Faculty ~nd University authorities, and to it, as their only official organization, all matters and communications pertaining to the students of this department are properly referred. !IO ~harmaeeutieal ~ssoeiation, ~ni~ersit~ of @fe:i\as.

Its object is to promote the spiritual life of the University students and to help them live as they should while pursuing their college course. Several yea1s ago it undertook to furnish a building, equipped with all that a young man would need while away from home. The amount then raised for this object is now out at interest, waiting for the time when there will be enough to begin work on a good building. What the Association needs is a building with baths, library, reading-room, amusement-room, parlor, assembly hall, and reception rooms-in a word, an attractive place for the young men to spend their leisure time and to find some recreation when needed. Other College Associations are getting buildings; we feel that we must have one. We hope to see this accomplished by the help of our friends. This is certainly a good opportunity for anyone who has the desire and ability to bless the young men of Texas. For further information, address the President of the University Y. M. C. A., Austin, Texas. Our Association was represented at the Third International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions held at Cleveland, Ohio, February 23-27, 1898, and is at present helping in the support of the Y. M. C. A. work in Ceylon. II4 @f°he '@J•~.@. e~otional. A. H . WHATLEY, Chairman. w. P. BAKER. J. R. ELLIOTT. ~embel'ship. R. H. GouGH, Chairman. J. W. BOUNDS. F. P. MILLER. ~U.!ii~. J. K.

T HE want of such an institution as the Athenaeum was not '' long­felt" in University circles, for our constitution elates back to the realization of those hopes cherished by the pioneers of our state, when in their wisdom, by such appropriations through constitutional pro­vision, they secured to their posterity the inestimable heritage of a means for lofty culture. Born under the most auspicious circumstances, this most historic of the University's organization has been as phenomenal in its ad­vance as it has been prolific of beneficial results and lofty in its ideals. Rich in traditions, she is to-day at the summit of her glory, abler than ever before to defend those traditions and to maintain her incontestable right to a recognized supremacy. Noble in ancestry, she is worthier now than at any previous time of that brilliant galaxy of jurists and statesmen who have from time to time gone forth from her tutelage to take rank among the fore­most of the land-to fight over again those battles whose tactics have become so familiar from constant practice in the miniature fights of the society hall. These heights have not been attained, however, without effort. Institutions cannot more than individuals float serenely away to enduring fame on flowery beds of ease. Every success inevitably presupposes some discour­aging reverses, some disappointed hopes. During her brilliant career, ' ' The Athenaeum '' has not only met successfully in contest all rivals of a like character to her own, but she has also combatted all such opposing influ­ences as athletics, society fraternities, and the numerous other attrac­tions of university life. From these conflicts she has emerged with renewed strength and confidence ; ascending kite like against the winds of adversity to noble attainments to more enviable fame. nS ~us~. First 7 erm .

I T is with a feeling of pride that we who are interested in the literary soci­eties are permitted to see them at present in better working order than thev have been for years. The united enthm,iasm and interest of a few members have caused the rolls to assume larger proportions than they have had within the memory of our oldest members. \Ve feel that a very important part of the training necessary for a man of affairs is to be acquired in the literary societies. We here learn much about the nature of man which we could not learn elsewhere. We are thus enabled to manipulate men, or, at any rate, to adjust ourselves to our envir­onment in sud1 a way as to cause less friction in the moving of the social organism in which we are placed. It is in literary societies that some of our greatest men have received their first impulses to greatness. The members of The Rusk offer no apologies for being proud to know that, though The Rusk is only fifteen years of age, some of the leading men of the State are found among her ex-members. Is it not inspiring to us to know that Hon. L. T. Dashiell, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Twenty-Fifth Legislature, was once president of The Rusk? Or that Hon. J. A. Beall, State Senator from Waxahachie, learned his first lessons in parliamentary practice within the balls of The Rusk? But it is not characteristic of a progre~sive people to look too mnch to the past. We see what our predecessors have done, and we can best show our appreciation of their accomplishments by emulating their example. Were it not that so many avenues for useful and profitable service in The Rusk are open to us, we would po!-'sibly be justified in resting contented with the reputation which the society has made. \Ve would need only to recall that, in the last three annual contests for oratory in this university, a Rusk man has taken first place each time. The weekly exercises consist of a declamation, two oratio11s, and a debate in which six participate. The range of subjects for debate is quite wide. At times, problems which perplex the minds of great statesmen are solved without difficulty. More than once has the be1ligerency of Cuba heen declared. Occasionally, also, we conclude that the United States Government is not democratic. Our parliamentarians sometimes find " Roberts' Rules of Order" so completely inadequate that they look upon them with contempt. Others, more conservative, keep a copy of this little book with them for use on all occasions -both public and private. It is sincerely hoped that, before many years, we shall have a separate building for the societies more c:onvenient than the present society halls, and t!iat our societies will be visited more by ladies, whose presence never fails to inspire young orators. 120 FINAL RECEPTION COMMITTEE, {©inal ~e~eption.

And then accidentally, more instinctively than mentally, He grew sentimentally, saccharine sweet; He praised love's intensity, its ardent propensity, Its density, immesity, fervor and heat. All at once, o'er some hummocks, he sprawled out kerflummux, And she thought, what a lummux to tumble just then!

I am alone ; my buried hopes in hollow tones beseech The full, rich life that was for thee and me, Lost Love, had I but known. JOHN AVERY LOMAX. 172 @rhe f(l)\en @rhat {@ailed. (Villagers grouped bejore gateway-among them a Yoeman, a Maiden, a Friar and a Minstrel. A Knight rides up, and after, the King issues from the castle, fol­lowed by his train). YEOMAN: Look you, the magic copse grows thin apace, The dead men's moulding bones are dropping down­Freed from the twisted tendrils' long embrace, · They lie at last at rest upon the ground. Even so might one who sought his love afar And found some siren by the bitter sea, And lay within her fatal arms, while far Away love called him who no more was free, When all the untasted old delight had flown To happier lands beyond the sunset seas, Cast forth at last, fall down and make no moan For dead days or the lost Hesperides. MAIDEN: But now a belted Knight rode out From that strong hold of mystery­ His arm a Princess clasped about, She smiled with never fear nor douht The while he spurred across the lea. YEOMAN: Yea, and the castled turrets, tall and gray, Asleep amid the trees these many years, Now hid now half concealed by the sway Of leafy branches in the wind that veers, Show through, and on the moss-grown, ivied walls A warder's armour glimmers through the trees, And in the long-silent court a bugle calls, And high o'er all a banner flouts the breeze. MAIDEN : And as I ponder all these things- The flaunting banner, fair and free, The far-off steel that gleams and rings­ Strange childhood stories of the kings Of ancient days come back to me. Ah! but the memories will not bide; They range and change, and flit and flee. I dreamed of an enchanted bride Who sleeps, while knights and princes ride And seek for her from sea to sea. 173 FRIAR: God's curse is on this place of sin, God's curse on all who enter in And perish in their infamy. Yea, God's curse is on all of ye Who linger here a-whispering, And watching close for some strange thing To issue from the castle there. Full many knights, both great and fair, Have sought the witch within that place; Yet uever one has kissed her face-Yea, none has touched her garment's hem. But in the copse of death they lie, And know no more of laugh or sigh-The lust of life Lurnt out in them. MINSTREL : Nay, otherwise the talc was told In village song and minstrelsy, When first I heard, in days of old, Men tell of this that now we see. Somehow, the strangely-woven rhymes Such subtle glamour cast on me, That even now their music chimes As then it chimed beside the sea. The Princess sleeps through years and years Within the magic wall of trees­ Untouched of laughter and of tears, Unknown of idle hopes and fears, She sleeps, and as she sleeps she sees The knight that, riding far and fast, Shall seek her out, and at the last Shall break the charm and set her free. About the Princess silently The drowsy days and years go by, And very slowly draweth nigh The day of days one day to be. But when the day shall dawn at last­ When the long years are overpast­ The lovers fled where none may know, From out the magic slumber cast About the castle long ago The King and all his court shall wake And issue forth once more, and take Their places in the weary world . . . KNIGHT: At last the castle sought afar And through long years, lies plain in view ; I know not if its hedges are To slay me or to let me through. Come life or death, what care have I, Whose life's one longing were denied Though all things else before rue lie, If I won not the sleeping bride ! I74 MAIDE N: But now a noble Prince rode out From that strong hold of mystery ­His arm the Princess clasped about, She smiled with never fear nor doubt The while he spurred across the lea. KNIGHT: What thing, I ask you, shall be said By one whose greatest deeds are nought ! Who better far were lying dead, Slain in some battle long since fought. Why should I cry against my fate, Or dream of deeds that might have been ! Let it suffice-I came too late; It is not for all men to win. But those who came too soon, who came Before the hundred years were past ; Who sleep with shame for name ancl fame, Damned and dust in the dust at last; Was theirs' the fault whereby they died, Even as they strove to set her free ; And while the knight that won the bride Scarce knew that such a quest might be? Nay, after all, the best is theirs Who lie at rest the long years through, Beyond the reach of all the cares That in their living days they knew. The best is theirs who quiet lie, Untouched of any joy at all; The worst is theirs who may not die, But live their life whate'er befall. THE KING: Lo! you, the world is much as years ago It was, when on us all was cast this spell. The years unheeding, changeless, come and go, Whether men's little lives are ill or well. J. H. T.

I N" a compilation of college statistics, previous boards have drawn fully upon their imagination, disregarding, to a great extent, the written replies of the student body. The present committee have taken scrupulous pains to faithfully reflect, in the following statements, the opinion of the average student, and they most cheerfully give their pledge as to its authenticity. The average age of the Texas University student is 20 years; he is 5 feet 10 inches tall; weighs, 150 pounds; wears No. 63/z shoe; size of hat, 778. He retires at 4 o'clock in the morning and gets up at 6, the rest of the 24 hours being spent in arduous toil. Sixty per cent. of the students part their hair in the middle, 35 per cent. on the side and the remaining 5 per cent. do not part it at all, with the exception of C. P. Caldwell, who, from his own statement, parts his with a brush-according to his friends, a shoe brush. The moustache is not the thing now since the appearance of the hirsute disfigurement on the Apollo-like features of C. Pope. The second query was answered with surprising candor, and a complete list of the confessors would strike the heart of Henry Howard with horror. They admitted that they played sometimes; but a great majority added, in parenthesis, '•just for fun and not for keeps." The bones also are quite popular, and about the only time that the little cubes are laid to rest is during examination week, when the mind is bent upon a different kind of ''pass.'' To the query," Have you a system that just can't be beat?" the answers were strongly in the negative. So emphatic, indeed, were some of them that it betrayed a previous over-confidence in a system which had prob­ably deprived his indulgent lar dlady of a month's board. Five young gentle­men, prominent in the Y. M. C. A. circles, answered that they alone had a c0mbination system which was a sure winner, and offered to put us on to it by return mail for a two-cent stamp. Pool is not popular, except with Freshmen-and not long with them, owing to the Dingley Bill price of billiard cloth. The query, •' Do you drink? '' seems to have been generally misunder­stood, for everyone answered in the affirmative. There was quite a spirited contest over the favorite drink. Gin phizz received a few scattering votes. One vote was cast for champagne, but having no signature, was cast out. "X. X . X." and soda p'lp were running neck and neck. "X. X . X ." was about to win, when the Freshmen, en masse, bowled up and polled a solid vote for buttermilk. After the polls were closed, the committee found a silver-mounted connection tube to a pocket milk-tank, bearing the inscrip­tion, '' Julian F. '' (We are authorized to say that the owner may find same by calling at the" Co-op." store.) r77 "In the event of the extension of the School of Geology, do you favor giving ' Pat ' a chair in ' Steinology ' ? '' brought forth some stupid confes­sions. At least forty per cent. did not know who "Pat." was, and even to a large number of the School of Geology the term '' Steinology '' conveyed no meaning; but since it was thought to be an additional course it was receiving a heavy adverse vote when " Pat. 's Brigade," led on by the un­quenchable Sir John Day, saved the cause, and "Pat." was given a" full" professorship. In the next query the student was called upon to express his attitude in regard to abolition of ''soak shops.'' Owing to the large amount of col­lateral now in the possession of Uncles J. A. Jackson and Joe Koen it would be a fortuitous circumstance for them if their business were suddenly to sink into inocuous desuetude by an Act of Legislature; but again, owing to the fact that a large proportion of the aforesaid collateral was tormerly possessed by the students, they are radical in their expressions of negation. There were only three votes for the abolition of this important factor in college liie. To the question,' ' What is your favorite pastime?'' the answers had the spice of variety and the average could not be calculated. Some expressed a desire to rest in the gentle arms of Morpheus; others exhibited fully as strong a desire to be infolded in the arms of Bacchus; but few, very few, evinced any yearning to play in Athena's back yard or even to holler down the rain banel of Minerva. Some with Venus would stroll down life's turnpike and still others, Diana-like, chase the festive jack-rabbit. Some with Terpsichore would cut the pigeon wing and do the fantastic can-can; and still others, among them 'I Willie Potter, would go through this tur­moil of strife and vale of tears pursuing the even tenor of their way. " Are you in love? " Perhaps this was too pertinent a· query to pro­pound to a youth, especially a student youth, for there is something consti­tutionally wrong with a man under thirty who is not in love. If not he should take some good liver regulator. The affirmative admissions were practically unanimous and some are in the anomalous condition of being in love three times at one and the same time. For further particulars call on H. Damascus Ardrey. Among so large a number of love lorn swains it would seem that some would be engaged. But in reply to the query they all denied any contractual relations of that nature; yet, be it recorded in their favor, it was a case of " Barkis is willin' ; but it aint no use." The average student's taste is for the brunette type. This does not refer to the taste in his mouth in the morning when there is such a difference, but to the complexion of the female contingent. Some are so gallant as to prefer hoth blondes and brunettes. As to politics, this composite type of students is overwhelmingly Dem­ocratic. A few deluded Freshmen and Junior Laws gave as their political affiliation 0. E. Roberts. Hon. Joe Sayers is his choice for Governor; but here again some unripe Freshman recorded himself as being unalterably in favor of A . T. Folsom. When we divulge the name of the most popular student, it must not be considared by the public that this highly favored individual is one whom they may strike for a '' V ' ' and the favor be granted with alacrity and be r78 considered a compliment. Be not so deluded, my friend, for if you wete to try to make that same borrow, it being Spring-time, he would tell you to hie thee hence and soak that useless overcoat. Yet still we have a hesitancy in divulging his name, but since he has urgently requested us to do so we have no other course and the calamity be upon his own head. Itis no other than the hero that stood like the Rock of Ages in the centre of our line and threw defiance (his fist) in the face of the whole Dallas aggregation-Jack Jenkins-of Rastrap-hurrah for Hogg-fame. Taylor, Batts and Fitz-Hugh received about an equal number of votes for the most popular professor. Their popularity bas been deserved and has been gained by actions, not words. Now we are called upon again to be very circumspect in divulging a na1J1e-the name of the handsomest student ; because in his maiden modesty he has kept himself obscured in the back ground of co-educational life, and we fear if the co-ed. discovers him it will be another case of Sampson and Delilah, his Hyperion curls be shorn and where would our foot bail team be without Kid Bethea. In the next question the committee discovered an act peculiarly overt and evidently perpetrated with malice aforethought. After a long canvass by the classes in Economics for Prof. Houston, the Freshmen spoiled every­thing by coming to the polls in a body and casting their votes respectively and collectively for Lyric Rhymster Hamberlin. But it will be of no gain to the Freshmen; for it is a tradition as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and Persians that only three per cent. of the lhings 35 Willie & Sons-Lawyers . . . . . . . . 40 Zahn-Photograpl!er . . . i!O =~------=~=~ =--------·---­ Correct Styles For Men ~desire to call your attention to our line for the year '98.
