PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY

GEORGE BAILLIO, Edilor-in-Chief M. R. UPTON, Business Manager G reetings

Greetings to you, all whose eyes Rest hereon; all you whose ties, Enwrapt in scenes you know so well, Endeared ’til only death can quell, To you, our daily comrades true, Inscribe we greetings. May they be Never-ending sesame. Greetings to you, each of you, Sons of dear old L. S. U.l Greetings to you, all whose eyes Rest hereon; who memories prize, Endeared in time, of those glad years Ever gone. Now by your ears, Tuned to sounds from L. S. U., In this life recorded, hear Naught but what you hold most dear. Greetings to you, men so true, Sons of noble L. S. U.l Greetings to you, all whose eyes Rest hereon; 'tis you we prize, Ever-tried friends, each and all, Ever ready at our call, To you, friends of L. S. U., In glad acknowledgment this day, Naught but cheer we send your way, Greetings to you, tried and true, Sincere friends of L. S. U.l N the editing of the fifteenth volume of the GUMBO we have endeavored to picture University life and activity at L. S. U. as our forefathers found it, and as we leave it to-day. W e have attempted to chronicle the history and development of the various departments and activ­ ities of our Alma Mater. The success of our efforts will depend on the liber­ ality of our readers. It is our earnest desire that in reviewing the pages that follow, you will grasp the spirit of our labors. W e have worked faithfully and diligently but our path has not been altogether too smooth. W e have faced the obstacles which presented themselves with firmness and determination. The resignation of an able leader at a critical time in the compilation of the 1914 Gumbo necessitated the forming of new plans and almost complete reor­ ganization. Our new editor, coming to the helm practically inexperienced and with little time to adjust himself to his surroundings, has had to solve the same problems over again, and in less time. Now that our work is completed, we ask credit for its merits and chanty for its shortcomings. Gov. L u t h e r E. H a l l W e respectfully dedicate the fifteenth volume of the GUMBO to His Excellency, Luther E. Hall, Gov­ ernor of the State of Louisiana, in recognition of his loyal services to our State and his sterling qualities as a man. L o u isia n a S ta te C a pitol

The University’s corps of professors, instructors, scientific experts, and administrative officers now numbers 116. O f these, seventy-eight devote themselves primarily to work in the class rooms and laboratories, twenty-two are employed in the work of the experiment stations, and the remainder are officers of administration. Class room and laboratory instruction is given to students in twenty-four different departments and the work includes nearly every subject in the field of literature, phi­ losophy, and science. At present 368 different courses of college study are offered. If a student were to enroll in five courses each year, it would require more than seventy years for him to master every subject now taught in the University. The University’s chief function is to aid the people of the State to solve their various problems,— educational, industrial, social, legal, and ethical. Its aim is to help every citizen to stand in his place and to do his best work for the upbuilding of his com­ munity and his Commonwealth. It is therefore not waiting for the people to come to it, but it is going out to the people by means of a rapidly developing system of extension work. In this way it is reaching thousands of citizens who can not come to the campus for instruction. But its greatest work consists in sending out each year scores of well- trained men and women with increased capacities for promoting the industrial, intellectual, and moral betterment of their communities. College of Arts and Sciences

HE College of Arts and Sciences is the nucleus from which all the other schools and colleges of the University have developed. Its pur­ pose is to afford the student a liberal education in both the humanities and the sciences. Ancient and modern languages and literature, philosophy, and all the sciences and arts that are not strictly tech­ nical or professional are included within its sphere. The work in the College of Arts and Sciences is planned so as to give a broader training than that of the classical courses of earlier days, and at the same time to avoid the narrowness that has some times resulted from the excessive specialization of late years. W ith this end in view, certain courses in the fundamental branches of knowledge, which are regarded as essential to a liberal and efficient education, are required of all candidates for the B.A. degree. This required work is generally completed in the first two years of the college course. All subjects beyond this prescribed work are elective, and the student has a broad field from which to choose, as is indicated by the list of courses enumerated in the Bulletin of the College of Arts and Sciences. The elective work may be arranged with a view either of securing a general cul­ tural training without regard to any particular vocation, or of pursuing intensive study in some special field such as one or more languages, the social sciences (history, political science, economics and sociology), higher commerce and business administration, phi­ losophy and psychology, or the natural sciences. A proper selection of studies will enable the student to pursue a course that will afford excellent training for the teaching pro­ fession, commercial pursuits, journalism, or for the study of law or medicine. The student is not limited, however, to the courses offered in the College of Arts and Sciences. Those who intend eventually to pursue professional or technical studies, but who desire first to secure a broad educational foundation, may enter the College of Arts and Sciences and later elect work in the College of Agriculture, the College of Engi­ neering, the Teachers’ College, or the Law School. By pursuing this plan they may obtain both a literary and a professional degree within six years. Many who do not intend to secure a professional degree may find it advantageous to specialize in the fore­ going manner after the completion of the required work. Such an arrangement will enable the student to obtain a liberal academic training while also preparing for the practical duties of life. That the work of the College of Arts and Sciences meets the needs of its students is attested by the fact that the enrollment has constantly increased during the past few years from 159 in 1908 to 249 in 1913, not counting the students of Teachers’ College who receive their training in the College of Arts and Sciences. The number of grad- uates has likewise increased from 17 in 1908, to 44 in 1913, and in addition there are several graduate students each year. Coincident with this increase is the gradual de­ crease in the number of Louisiana students who go out of the State in order to secure a liberal education. The graduates of this college are among the leaders of the State in many lines of activity— they are teachers, business men, lawyers, railroad men, farmers, bankers, legislators, state and Federal officials, newspaper men, school superintendents, physicians and judges. To give this training for leadership is the prime purpose of the College of Arts and Sciences.

i College of Engineering

H I L E this article is going to be more or less reminiscent, the writer wishes it to be distinctly understood that in his case it is not a sign of old age. His youth and long connection with the Engineering de­ partment of the University is reconcilable on the grounds that he was quite young when he entered here as a student in 1888. A t this time the engineering equipment contained the following articles: one professor, one transit, one level, a few old and worn out wood-working tools, one poorly equipped class room, and one eight horse-power portable W atertown engine and boiler. This equip­ ment remained in statu quo until 1891. O n July 3rd of the same year, the University graduated three young men whom it labelled engineers (?). The writer was one of the aforesaid. The other two became discouraged— one entering the ministry, and the other, politics. A t a meeting of the Board of Supervisors of the University in June, 1891, W illiam Dana Taylor was elected Professor of Civil Engineering and Physics. It is doubtful if a better man could have been found for the position. H e had received excellent technical training at the A labam a Polytechnic Institute and the Johns Hopkins University. H e came to the University from the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, where he had been employed for several years in practical engineering work. H e resigned his position here in 1898 to become Chief Engineer of a projected road from Chicago to St. Louis. He later became Professor ot Railway Engineering in the University of Wisconsin, and Expert Advisor to the Railroad Commission of the same state. A t the time of his death a few years ago, he was Chief Engineer of the Chicago and A lton Railroad. The writer had the good fortune to work with Professor Taylor as his assistant for a number of years, and considers him the ablest and most distinguished engineer that has been connected with any Southern college at any time during the past twenty-five years. It was under his direction and influence that the Civil Engineering department of the Louisiana State University took its first real step forward. U pon the solid foun­ dation laid by him, this department has continued to grow and develop both in equip­ ment and efficient service. It is doubtful if there is now a single Southern college doing better work along this line. Prior to the year 1897, little effort and less money was spent upon the development of the Mechanical Engineering department. Since this date it has made rapid progress, and is now one of the best equipped and most efficient departments of the University. W ith this department well equipped and organized, it was a comparatively easy under­ taking to organize and equip both the Electrical Engineering and the Chemical Engineer­ ing departments. The Electrical Engineering department was organized in 1905. The Chemical Engineering a few years later. Both of these departments are doing good work. The catalogue of the University states that “the College of Engineering has for its object the training of young men for positions of trust and responsibility in the engineer­ ing world— men who know how to design and operate machinery, to erect and maintain structures, to direct chemical operations on a large scale, and to perform all other func­ tions ordinarily expected of a well-trained engineer.” Is it doing this? I know of no better way to determine the quality of work a mill is doing than to examine samples of the grist it turns out. I believe the following samples, which were selected at random, answers the query in the affirmative: S. M. Purdy, Philadelphia Waterworks Dept.; C. H. Kretz, Manager of Tex­ arkana Electric Light Co.; W. E. Atkinson, State Highway Engineer of La.; F. F. Pillet, City Engineer of Mobile; H. J. Rhodes, Resident Engineer of V. S. & P. R. R .; S. L. McGlathery, U. S. Engineer Corps, Manila, P. I.; A. D. Duncan, Wireless Station, Honolulu, H. I.; Garland Lutto, General Electric Co.; J. K. Fahey, Supt. S. P. Terminal, New Orleans, La.; Leo J. Lassolle and T. S. Sligh, Physics Dept., Pa. State College; W. D. Stayton, Supt. Houston Central; E. E. Weil, Weil Electric Works, New Orleans; R. O. Gill, Engineer Chalmers Motor Car Co.; &c., &c., &c. T h o s . W . ATKINSON, Dean, College of Engineering.

T h e M is s is s ip p i B e sid e t h e C a m p u s The Audubon Sugar School

HE Audubon Sugar School is the only school of college standing for the study of the technology ot cane sugar, and its reputation to-day has spread to all four quarters of the world. The University has spared no effort to maintain this reputation, adding each year to its equipment, and holding rigorously to its very high standards for graduation. It has recendy pul into excellent condition a model sugar house at Audubon Park, and is adding constantly to the laboratories for experimental engineering and for chemistry. These improvements have been made possible by a special appropriation from the state legislature. In many ways the sugar school is unique among American colleges. It was established in the beginning by Louisiana planters for the benefit of the sugar industry in Louisiana, and has from the first insisted upon an intimate relationship between theory and practice. The course is five years in length, and during the sugar season in the fourth and fifth year, the students go into actual sugar house work, at first in the model sugar house at Audubon Park, and later in various central factories throughout the state. It has attracted as students men from all parts of the world, and its graduates now hold responsible positions in every sugar-producing country.

T h e P arade G round The first three years of the course are practically equivalent to the first three years of courses in chemical engineering, in American colleges of the first rank. These are given at the University at Baton Rouge. For the last two years the course is highly special in its nature. The students report at the University in Septem­ ber and do intensive work in the chemical and mechanical control of a sugar house for one month. They then go to Audubon Park where they work in the model sugar house for the entire season, grinding the cane, running the machinery, and keeping it in order, clarifying and graining the sugar, and keeping a strict scientific control over the entire process. At the close of the season they return to the University and continue the study of the purely theoretical side of the question. At the beginning of the fifth year, the students put in a month's work largely in making out reports and interpreting sugar house calculations. They are then sent into various factories for the sugar season where they are on the same basis as any other workman and stand solely on their own merit. At the close of this season they return to the University and complete their scientific studies. As at present formulated, the course emphasizes mainly the chemical and mechanical side of sugar technology, though students desiring to specialize in the agricul­ tural side are given an opportunity to do so. Increased attention is being paid to the agri­ cultural side. The importance of this field is attracting more and more the attention of sugar planters and a complete instrument equipment for research in the soil and ag­ ronomical problems incident to sugar cane is now being arranged for. Teachers’ College N 1905, the department of education was established in the State University of Louisiana; and young ladies were admitted as special students in education. In 1908, with the expansion of the University into colleges and schools, the department of education developed into a Teachers’ College; and all doors of the University were thrown wide open to ladies. At the same time, the College of Arts and Sciences remained as the college of general culture for those who might not care to specialize in any one of the other colleges; in fact the Col­ lege of Arts and Sciences is the college within which the student must get all of his academic knowledge other than he finds in the subjects which are peculiar to the college of his specialization—the College of Arts and Sciences is the cen­ tral college of the University around which all other colleges are organized. The history of the Teachers’ College of the Louisiana State University is the his­ tory of every teachers’ college in the land. Such colleges have invariably been opposed by some, tolerated by others, and regarded with more or less skepticism by still others, faintly supported by some and boldly espoused by some. The several attitudes of edu­ cational folk serve a good purpose, for that institution which can not establish its right to be ought not to be. Sub rosa sneers affect little and are ofttimes as temporary as are their sources; skepticism is hardly to be taken into account; but an honest opponent must

Hill Memorial Library W a it in g to S e e " T u l a n e ’s G c a t " ever be counted as among a man’s or an institution’s best friends— he challenges faults and weaknesses, compels their correction, and ultimately strengthens by his own allegiance. Teachers’ College has become firmly intrenched in the hearts of the educational people of the University and the State. Of the graduates, 73 per cent, are engaged in actual educational work; and of these, practically 50 per cent, are men (an encour­ aging feature), who are engaged in the work of principals and superintendents. One has recently had to abandon his work because of ill health. O f those in the work, there is not one who is not making a success; and there is not one who, if he is not already a leader in his own especial and general educational work, doesn’t bid fair to become such very shortly. With the erection of Peabody Hall (the name is simply taken for granted), which the Peabody Board have made possible by the magnificent donation of $40,000.00, and a corresponding expanding organization and multiplied professional advantages, Teachers’ College will take on new life, new vim, new and permanent stability. She will come into her very own, the place which she was established and ordained to fill— the place where they who are to direct and do the work of educational administration and in the high schools shall properly equip themselves. Such an institution, as a place and a means for the investigation of educational problems, with all that such investigation ought to mean, must ultimately have a tremendous influence in determining proper standards of educa­ tion, proper standards for the measurement of the men who are to work out such educa­ tion, and proper laws for the control of such men and such a system. The Law School

HE Law School approaches the end of its eighth session with an en­ rollment of 49 students, of whom 3 have withdrawn during the session, leaving 46 as the net enrollment. It is so much the fashion to rejoice over a large enrollment, and (ament a reduction in numbers, that it may seem, upon considering the enrollment of a former session, when the high-water mark of sixty- three was reached, that we have fallen upon evil days. But an examination of the admission requirements of former sessions will snow such phases as “the equivalent of a high-school education” and the “admission of mature men, upon an examination satisfactory to the faculty of the law school.” These elastic phrases no longer appear in the catalog, and their absence marks an advance in the progress of the Law school along the line upon which it is the ambition of the present writer that it should advance— that of improvement in the qual­ ity, rather than of increase in the number of its students. Of course it is better for the State, for the legal profession, and for the students themselves, that as many as possible of those who go to the bar, should have the systematic training of the law schools; but surely the attainment of that result is to be sought by applying more rigid standards out­ side the law schools, rather than by relaxing the requirements of admission to them.

A n A ngle in th e P entagon F oster H all It may well astonish readers of GUMBO to know that there is no requirement in the rules of the Supreme Court for admission to the bar, that the applicant shall be able to read and write the English language correctly, that is with correct spelling, punctuation, sentence construction, etc. The examinations are oral, and there seems to be no safe­ guard against the admission of applicants who would be adjudged incompetent to stand a test in the elements of English composition. At a meeting of the Louisiana Bar Association, held in Baton Rouge in 1910, a resolution was adopted, expressing the sense of the Association, that a high-school education or its equivalent should be required; but this has not been embodied in the Su­ preme Court rules. What, then, is the result of the present condition of affairs? That every student in the Law school, of whom a high school education is required, and against whom the standing faculty rule against deficiencies in English may be enforced, must compete, after three years’ expenditure of time and money, with those to whom the more liberal standard of admission is applied. While it may be argued, and with force, superiority of the better educated, and better trained man must tell in the long run, still he and the public suffer while the inefficient man is, by virtue of his license to practise, demonstrating his inefficiency. To the Supreme Court and the members of the Bar Association this plea for the broadening and strengthening of the foundations of legal education has already been made. To the students past, present, and prospective, of the Louisiana State University, the Law school makes no plea. It issues a summons to each and every man to appear for duty, and give it aid and comfort in the public service that it strives to render. Herein fail not, under penalty of the law! Nameless (Lovingly inscribed to the Faculty by the Seniors) Oh, Faculty-aculty-ac, You thought to fill the sack With Seniors forlorn, And the records adorn With “flunk" and “subject back”. Yes, Faculty-aculty-ac, You’ve tried our ranks to hack; But the number who passed Must your thoughts have harassed, For we’ve made our “High-Low-Jack”. Now, Faculty-aculty-ac, You’re quite a few numbers back; So there’s no use to try With US to get fly, Oh, Faculty-aculty-ac!

S the circle-saw of time gnaws its way toward the end of our stay here, it devolves upon us as a matter of custom to record in this annual a brief resume of our history. But we do not purpose to paint that history in glowing and unknown colors, nor do we deem it necessary to use beautiful vehicles of expression in order to draw the reader away from the facts and the truth. Any attempt on our part to arouse your appreciation of what we have done and are doing would be too much like "tooting our own horn". To appeal to your imagination, to stir your emotions, to thrill you with impassioned sentences, to soar with you to heights of dazzling splendor on the wings of rhetorical phrases, in dealing with such a subject, would be to degrade ourselves, as well as the good name of our “Alma Mater”. It is our intention to state in simple language the facts, and leave the reader in the solitude of his own conscience to form an opinion for himself, whether it be eloquent or not. We realize that the summit of the mountain has not been reached, but that the journey has just begun, and we are at a resting place, an oasis in the desert. We acknowledge that as a class no pick-axe of hard study or shovel of constancy has been diligently used. We know that our trailing path of glory is far surpassed by that of the milky way. But there are some few things worthy of mention, and “ these are they” : The present class began its existence in the Autumn of 1910, when some 150 seekers after knowledge registered as Freshmen. Since that time some have fallen out, some lagged behind, but the greater portion have, with that innate tenacity common to the bull dog, clamped their teeth upon enough credits to carry themselves forward one class each year. W e wandered into the tiger’s den like a lamb, meek of nature, slow in progress, long and curly-wooled; going we knew not whither. But before many days our meekness was stolen, our progress quickened, our long and curly wool clipped; and a definite purpose was instilled into every heart. We received the benefit of that famous form of college education and training known as hazing. And to prove that it is beneficial, we might state at this point that we won the class championship in football that first year. C . H . Lyons, as president, led us safely through that session of strife. After three months of hibernation, the lamb changed its form, even as the cater­ pillar changes into a butterfly. Daring took the place of meekness, progress of stagna­ tion, and from the wool-clipped heads came a luxuriant growth of hair. The lamb was now a “ baby tiger” . For nine months he fed on the flesh of books and of environment, gaining steadily in strength and size, and at last under the guidance of president A. M. Blanche, he grew to be a full-fledged Junior. Politics caused some slight dissensions in the class at this time, but they were finally settled with the election of J. H. Brown, as president, and J. L. Dale to deliver the farewell address to the class of '13. The class forgot all these dissensions when the “Junior Prom” was successfully initiated and carried out. Ties of friendship were rewoven and a bandage of stick-together-ness wrapped about them. But with the beginning of the last year the sleeping germ of politics was aroused again and the senior class found itself in somewhat the same predicament as a mended piece of china on the tray of a drunken waiter. Now the bitter herbs of dissension have blown over, and J. L. Dale holds the valedictorianship, while F. W. Spencer is leading the class— we are not so bold as to say to glory and renown, but— to a goal toward which we have been striving for four years, and one that we are very anxious to reach; and when this goal is attained, the Senior class can say that it organized the Cadet Hop Club; erected a row of lights along University Avenue; and introduced a new and elastic form of commencement exercises for its Alma Mater. While we make no statement of great and glorious achievements, we believe that we are able to battle with the world and successfully cope with our fellowman in the struggles of life, but as to the extent of our success, the future alone can determine. The world may laugh at our innocence and scorn our knowledge, but that laughter and scorn are the elements that will develop our determination, our self-reliance, and our ability to overcome the trials of life. W e know that our record at college is not the true test of our future. Instead of the beautiful panorama which we see before us at present, we realize that we must contend against stern realities. We now hear the applause of our friends for the success of our efforts. Our instructors have been kind enough to predict a glorious future for this class. It may be that our heads are slightly turned; our self­ estimation may be increased to an unusual degree; yet if these praises are taken in the same spirit in which they are given, it need not prove a stumbling-block for the future. The black clouds of temptation may have darkened some of our lives. W e our­ selves know whether we have been strong enough to dispel these clouds. If we have not been able to overcome these temptations while we were surrounded by the influence of faith­ ful professors, and loving parents, what may we expect in the future? Esteemed and honored professors, it is due in a great measure to your labors that we have at last reached our present goal. We realize now more fully than ever before that from the beginning of our course here your aim has been to fit us for the trials of fu­ ture years, and you have worked unceasingly to attain that end. To mention the high standard of scholarship attained by the class of ’ I 4 is to pay the highest compliment to your ability; for we feel that through your efforts our minds have been guided in the right direction, and that we are fairly started on the road to successful achievements. For all this we thank you, as we bid you farewell. Classmates, we part with mingled feelings; happy to have completed our course of study, and regretful at leaving the friends and scenes of so many pleasantries. The relations which have existed between us for so long will now be severed, but though we be classmates never again, friends we may always be. Who can tell what awaits us in the future? Let us cherish the memory of these most pleasant days spent as class­ mates, and in times of defeat the recollection will be an inspiration; and in times of triumph, an additional pleasure. May the pleasures we have enjoyed never be clouded by the sorrows of a misspent life. That we shall be visited with temptations as we journey through life is certain, but may we ever have the courage to withstand them, so that when we reach the dark Valley of the Shadow of Death, our fidelity to principle will be a light that will pierce the vale of obscurity and mark the way to the great Unknown.

H E members of the Law Class of ’ 14 first entered upon their duties as disciples of Justinian, in September, 1911. This being the first class to complete the work under the three-year course, its assertion that it is the greatest the institution has ever graduated is perhaps based upon more truth than are similar assertions made by every class in every department of every college in the land. Nor is this assertion based upon this fact alone. It is strongly supported by the way in which the members of the class have demon­ strated their ability as politicians, showing that they are not only dis­ ciples of Justinian, but are also followers of that astute politician, Thurlow Weed. Politics played an important part in the history of the class from the very be­ ginning. In the first election, the senior academic (first-year law), lined up against the regular Freshman law men. This terminated in a victory for the regular law men with the election of Hansford T. Hair as president. In the second year the two factions were as clearly defined as in the preceding year. After considerable excitement over the election, the class terminated a successful year under the leadership of R. H. Lee. But it was in the beginning of the senior year that politics became rife. When the noted Sabinian arose to nominate "Judge Hansford T. Hair, one of Caldwell’s noblest sons and the champion of the rights of the common people”, it was as if an electric spark had come in contact with the political horizon and set it ablaze. It soon developed that the two factions were almost evenly divided; the one being composed of five members, and the other of four. The minority, led by a Dear man, opposed the methods of the majority, contending that some of its members, although seniors, should not be allowed to participate in the election as they would not complete the work before summer. After much discussion the meeting was dissolved, and shortly afterwards the ma­ jority reconvened and succeeded in electing officers for the year. This action was not contested until preparations were being made for commencement, when a meeting was called for the purpose of reconciling the two factions. This was not accomplished, and as a result the Law Class of ’ 14 takes no part in the commencement exercises. Through all this political strife the members of the class have retained their friend­ ship for each other, and it is tfe unanimous opinion of the nine judges that the course in politics will prove as valuable to them in the future as the law course.

DR hundreds of years women have been endeavoring, with theO chivalric assistance of the Order of Knighthood, to ameliorate their condition in this sordid world. Even yet among savages they are regarded as beasts of burden, and among barbarians and Moham­ medans they are mere toys or slaves. But, let us hasten to say, in our glorious country of freedom, thanks to American manhood, women have the love and respect of men (especially the former), they have all the rights of men,— and, in these days of advanced ideas in ladies’ tailoring, they have nearly all the ciothes of men. One may at such a thought smile and say, “What next?” But fear not. These observations create in the mind one profound conviction: Woman is being emancipated. A living, walking, breathing testimonial of this fact can be seen in the advent of a co-ed law student at this University, the first in the State. W ith her appearance in the legal arena the conclusion is thrust upon us that the day of man-made, man- judged, and man-enforced law has passed. W hat gives the law its majesty, and what effect will the emancipation of woman have on the professed purpose of the law, which is to protect persons in their lives and property? A n entirely optimistic answer, we believe, can be safely given to this inquiry. No thoughtful man will say that order is upheld solely through the laws, the courts and the sheriffs. It is only when law is actually violated that this machinery is set in motion to punish the offenders and to deter others. But the sanctity of laws does not arise out of their enactment by the legislatures or their enforcement now and then; it is the sentiments and principles residing in the people, their faith and loyalty, that give to the laws of the commonwealth their real majesty. And we do not hesitate to add that the refining and wholesome influence of woman, emancipated and thereby enabled to be of real service,— acting in public life so as to inspire confidence in and reverence for law,— can be only beneficial to these principles and sentiments of the people— our chief guaranty for order and protection. The Moot Court

H E students of the Law School feel that it will not be amiss in this permanent record of the University to say to the Director of the Criminal Session of the Moot Court, “Well done, good and faithful servant.’’ Through the untiring efforts and contagious enthusiasm of Professor David A. Blackshear, the Moot Court has developed into an institution of vital importance and universal interest. The Docket of 1913 contains some notable cases— cases that will loom big in the history of the Law School. The first case of general interest was the case of State versus Holmes. This case was particularly notable because of the prominence of the Judge and members of the Jury. Honorable H. F. Brunot, Judge of the Thirteenth Judicial District, sat as Judge on this occasion. The members of the Jury were: Col. Prescott, Dr. Bonham, Dr. Coffey, Major Lee, Supt. T. H. Harris, Mr. Payne Brazeale, Mr. Yandell Boatner, Col. Parkerson, Judge Kilgore, Mr. Miller, Mr. Francis Whitehead, and Mr. Brown— without doubt the most distinguished twelve who ever filled a jury box. Hon. T. E. McHugh, Clerk of Court, served as Clerk on this occasion. R. H. Lee and M. F. Johnson represented the State. R. B. Howell and Fisher Middleton were coun­ sel for defense. The Jury returned a verdict of “Guilty.” “State versus Green” will endure as a landmark because of the prominence of the presiding Judge and the splendid gathering of spectators present. Newton Craig Blanchard, ex-Justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana, former member of the Na­ tional House of Representatives, ex-United States Senator, President of the Constitutional Convention of 1913, eminent jurist and peerless lawyer, sat as Judge in this case. Mr. T. E. McHugh again acted as Clerk. Counsel for State were Cleveland Dear and Hilton Sandoz. Counsel for defense were Wayne G. Borah and Hansford Hair. Verdict of “Not Guilty”. His Excellency, Luther Egbert Hall, Governor of Louisiana, served as Judge in the case of State versus Lewis. The facts of the celebrated case of Commonwealth versus Knapp, in which Daniel Webster appeared, were used in this case with slight changes. Robert W. Green, Don Womack, and L. T. Hooe represented the State, and Benjamin Augustine Campbell, Sigur Martin, and R. H. McGehee, appeared for the defendant. The Jury was absolutely unable to agree, being sent back for further de­ liberation again and again by Judge Hall. Judge D. D. Cline, of the City Court of Baton Rouge, sat as Judge in the case of State versus Alex Smith. Cecil Whitehead and G. A. Voltz were counsel for the State, and Joe A. Loret and L. M. Reynaud, appeared for defense. Verdict of “ G uilty” . H. T. Hair, President of Senior Class, had the distinction of being the first student to sit as Judge in a Moot Court Case. Robert W. Green, familiarly known as “Sailor Bob”, broke all records for appearing as defendant. He served as defendant in over half of the cases tried. Mr. T. H. McEachern served as Sheriff of the Court through­ out the entire session. The students of the Law School believe that the Moot Court has become the premier asset of the Department and feel deeply grateful to Professor Blackshear for his splendid service. The Flight of the Dove of Peace

HILE Carranza and Huerta have been carrying on their belligerent operations for supremacy in Mexico, and the warring political fac­ tions in Mississippi have been attracting wide-spread attention, not insignificant as history-making events have been the occurrences incident to the struggle for dominion in the Senior Law Class. The dove of peace has been conspicuous by its absence from among the Mexicans, the Mississippians and the Lawyers, ’14, and discord and strife have left devastation and distress where that noble specimen of the genus avis should have exerted its benign and blessing influence. As to the Senior Law Class, below the perch erstwhile taken by the proverbial pigeon of peace now can be found tombstones marking the final resting place of dis­ appointed hopes and blasted ambitions. On the headstones of one of these tombs, as a portentous warning for the future, the ominous raven now roosts, and through the cypress, the myrtle and the willow surrounding the spot, mourning winds render an unending disconsolate dirge. The smoke of battle, the roar of oratory, the fierce cannonade of useless words and technical rules, proved too much for the placid bird. Finally and forever, on October 2. 1913, it deserted the Senior Law Class when a class meeting, featured by clashes of wits and near-clashes of physical force between the opposing factions and a bolt by the minority, was held, and the election of Hansford T. Hair, alias “Judge”, was affected by the majority faction. This election was contested as invalid. All subsequent attempts at conciliation be­ tween the belligerents failed,— and to this day doubt exists in some Seniors’ minds as to the de jure authority of "Caldwell’s favorite son”. But it can safely be asserted that the election of Hair from a legal standpoint is valid, and the “exponent of the common people” is entitled to the honor. He has, since this flattering good fortune, maintained his wonted fellow-feeling for the horny- handed son of toil, and, to his great credit let it be said, has not been the victim of the most loathsome of diseases, the fatty enlargement of the ego. Military Department

H E N a student walks out on the campus with his coat unbuttoned and gets "stuck” by some officious cadet commissioned officer, he usually blames this officer. Here is where he makes a tremendous and un­ just mistake. I he fellow really at fault is Col. W illiam Tecumseh Sherman. He is the man who originated the Military Department at the Louisiana State University, and, if the statements of the present cadets are to be valued, forever inflicted a punishment on Louisiana youth. When the University was first established by Col. Sherman, its official name was Louisiana State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy, and its organization was shaped as closely as possible after that at West Point— in fact, it was so closely patterned that there was not too much affection for it on the part of the cadets who attended the institution at that time. In spite of their growls, however, it flourished until comparatively recent years, when as a result of the co-ed invasion and the necessary widen­ ing of scope, some of the features of the old order were abolished. From all reports, many of the military features of the present department are the same as under the old regime. The same tours are walked and the same guns are cleaned; also, the same bunks are slept in, and names are carved on the same walls and galleries. O n the other hand, the cadets of the present day are allowed numerous liberties which were unheard and un­ thought of during the days of the Seminary. Whereas the military training was the big factor at the institution at that time, and it was carried on as if war were imminent each day, it has become more of a supplementary condition now. It in no way inter­ feres with the study necessary to become a lawyer, doctor, preach­ er or farmer, and at this time, has really reached its point of most usefulness in the work of the Louisiana State University. In the Military Department of the University, a young fellow is taken, although absolutely ig­ norant of conditions of obedience and order, much less military knowledge. He is given a thor­ ough theoretical and practical course in the science of war, and all through that course he is taught the real fundamental prin­ ciples of becoming a man. He is thrown on his own resources in the barracks with other men of his own age and older. H e is subject largely to the orders of fellow cadets who have been at the University longer than he. In turn he also becomes an officer and leader. In this way he learns the science of obedience and command, and is given a finishing touch which could be administered by no academic course in any institution. It would hardly be possible to execute any public ceremony or celebration in Louisiana were it not for the existence of the Military Department at the Louisiana State University. In the first place, the whole battalion, composed of four companies and a band, is essential whenever a governor is inaugurated, whenever Washington and the Baton Rouge Fire Department ha\e birthdays, and especially whenever a United States battleship comes up the Mississippi River. In fact, any public celebration in Baton Rouge is always assisted by the corps of cadets. The Cadet Band is particularly in demand. It always leads the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans, is a big feature of the State hair, if over two visitors are at the University it gives a concert; and it plays for fifteen minutes on some nights for the cadets to practice the one- step when anticipating the next cadet hop. The cadet hop is an innovation of last year. It is the big democratic social function of the institution. The cadet uni­ form and twenty-five cents are the requirements for admission, and there is no scarcity in attendance. In spite of the lurid pictures of the horrors of the military training here, which are painted by homesick Freshies, the impression that it is a place for disturbers of the peace, outlaws, brigands and pirates is erroneous. The battalion is composed of the most representative men in all departments of the University, and is the center of all student activity and college spirit. It gives the student some ideas of the real duties of a soldier, a conception of the military needs of his country, patriotism, devotion to duty, a high sense of truth and honor and a respect for lawful authority.

N. B. Numbers in parenthesis indicate relative rank of officers. “B” in this case does not stand for “B” Company or any other organization, com­ bination or monopoly that begins with a "B”. It stands for the Louisiana State University Cadet Band, an organization considered one of the best of its kind, and which brings well-deserved fame and renown to the University. It is the principal musical organization at the State Fair in Shreveport, and at the Mardi Gras Carnival in New Orleans it acts as Rex’s personal escort. Like other up-to-date organizations it had a strong desire to meet modern condi­ tions of progress, at the same time not laying itself open to criticism for “unreasonable monopoly” or “restraint of trade,” by continuously one thumb-worn selection of patriotic airs. About this time other organizations on the campus were losing their “status quo” because their performances and ideas were considered behind the times and not in accord­ ance with modern practice. So things were ripe for the Band to begin to have a wish to modernize. Sure enough; on the evening of January 10th, 1914, at exactly 4:16 p. m., when regular afternoon practice was just about to commence, who should appear on the scene but “Judge Rover” with his hypnotizing strains. What occurred in the next few minutes caused the old Band building, which has peacefully slept for ages to awaken with a start. The very ground upon which it stood felt the awful sensation of the coming crisis, and the trees ’round about sighed and moaned sorrowfully. Before the startled house and surroundings had accustomed themselves to new condition of things, the news had spread over the campus, and by the next day, through the press and the “Reveille”, the news had become State-wide. Just exactly what happened upon this epoch-making occasion is best told by the following extract from the diary of one of the members of the Band: “The horn-tooters (quoted verbatim. Excuse his English) had gathered for prac­ tice. Dutch called the roll, on time as usual, when in the middle of it, we heard a pe­ culiar noise, or Note, proceeding from one of the dark corners of the room. Every one was at a loss to understand it till ‘Friday’ stepped forth and announced that ‘Monk’ Perez had cut loose, not being able to control himself any longer. ‘Monk’ was silenced and the calling of the roll went on. “Then from the front row arose a figure, of the appearance of Sousa and pose of a Greek warrior. It was only Captain El Toro Ferro, however, who announced that we would play a very thrilling march (number 6). Number Six had disappeared. Not a single member could find his Number Six. It was very unfortunate, and as next best sixteen popular and penetrating selections from the opera Jean Missud’ were announced. Then surprise and excitement reached its highest pitch, for they, too, were found to have dissappeared. Hawkshaw, the world-famous detective, was immediately notified, and the matter left in his hands. It was left there because nobody wanted to hear of it again. 'At this point in the proceedings ‘Fatty’ Martin, yelled that Professor Clarke was approaching. As an appropriate greeting, the Band burst forth with the popular strains of ‘W h a t D ’ye M ean Y o u H ave L ost Y e r S ix t e e n M a r c h e s ?’ Losing control of his limbs at the sound of this ‘irresistible rag,’ we saw him embrace Huckaby and glide away tripping the ‘Castle Height,’ Horse Trot, and finally end exhausted with Caruso’s hesitation, ‘THE STRIKE.’ ” • It might seem to some that the above is a trifle lengthy for an extract from a diary, and as if it might have been written for publication. The writer says not, however, I guess he does nothing but write in his diary. C o m p a n y " A " Company “A ”

R- E. Cox G . H . G e h r in g W . M c C u l l c m R . F . W a l k e r “A ” Company always has been and always will be noted for its Authenticated Aristocracy, its Antagonistic Attitude, its Animalistic Analysis, its Auxiliary Auto­ suggestions, its Annual Applicability, its Applied Antithetical Aggrievances, its Attenuated Autobiographical Aptitude , and various other Appro­ priate Appraisements of which time and space will not permit mention. Great achievements, however, lie within the unsophisticated ranks of that remarkable corps of loyal cadets; and prominent characters are abundant. First among these is our noteworthy Captain— Thos. J. Jones. As a military man, suffice it to say that he stands head and should­ ers above all others. Captain Jones has some other traits worthy of note, however. For example, his record-breaking sleeping ability, averaging 18 hours out of every 24, and then some. Call up at his room just any old time and you’ll find him engaged in “Sweet dreams of that loved one” back at home. Another good quality which our noted Captain possesses is conscientiousness. Never will he report the lowest “Agri.” at 6:50 inspection (which is usually made, however, between 9:00 and 10:00 A. M., when Capt.’s dreams have faded away), when his sleeping chamber itself is not properly arranged. Then too, Captain Jones always sets good examples to those under his supervision. For instance, he is the leading marksman of his company. Painful efforts have been made attempting to equal his excellence, but in vain. These are only a few of his most typical characteris­ tics. Existing limitations prevent mention of the others. Next in order comes Lieutenant W . W . Murphy, alias “Pat” , possessing all those awe-inspiring appearances characteristic of a typical Irishman. Pat is a good old soul, but is extremely lazy. He would much prefer giving commands from the “File Closers" to walking around in front of the Company where he belongs; but anyway, he manages to get his company safely to the Mess Hall for meals. Lieutenant J. A. Hart is now in turn. Speaking of mechan­ ical power,— he’s got it. He proved that when he seized one of his beloved privates about a month ago and gave him such vigorous arm exercise that he has not yet fully recovered. Lieut. Hart is a very faithful old servant, never known to shirk his duties. His motto is: “Be ye ever Loyal, that your attainments may be Royal.” We are now ready to consider the only “Dead Game Sport” in the company. Everybody knows him— Lieutenant J. B. Vidrine

H. Coates L. K. Williams MOTTO: "Boutez en avant" B’s, like all modest beings, on their own merits are dumb. However, the King of the B’s (Baillio) has passed his royal order demanding an article praising our rich and prosperous hive. But praise is no praise for a thing so excellent. It would be folly to try to force the seas into a circuit of a pool; and equally foolish and vain would be an attempt to find words with which to praise Company “B ”, which is the pride of her mem­ bers and the envy of others. No doubt the hardened lip of the howling critic will curl with contempt at an analogy between ourselves and the “busy bees” of the forest. But we insist that in most respects we are very much like them. However, there is an occasional difference as noted below: They are seekers of flowers and makers of honey; we are seekers of dowries and spenders of money. I hey roam, Aeolian lyres imitating: we “romeo”, leonine liars emulating. They have but one queen; we have many. They follow their queen; our queens follow us. They have many drones; we have none. i hey are mostly workers; we are all workers. We always face our enemies; they reverse the process. When Col. Time reviews the army of the Great, he is im­ pressed by the appearance of Company “B” at the head of the great procession. She appears like a train of locomotives in Cadet uniform, the impersonation of power and force. Upon ob­ serving her maneuvers, he feels again the spirit of Seventy-Six. He sees in her men the true spirit of the soldier, faithful, loyal and brave. Bravery, yes, that is what B stands for. Bravery in its truest sense, which is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world. This noble, unpre­ tentious spirit, linked with its twin virtue, independence, is what enables Company “B” to command the high esteem and respect of most of the cadets, and the admiration and love of all the co-eds. Her worthy braves are both respected and respecting. About the only thing on the campus that they do not respect is the Cherub of Authority with his flaming sword of discipline, which Custom has placed as guard over the sacred treasures of inde­ pendence and individuality. We believe that human improvement is from within outwards, and that disobedience is one of the conditions of progress. It is our sacred duty to improve, and a proud distinction to be a “Pro­ gressive”. Why then should we sacrifice our liberty upon the altar of discipline? We are not content to FOLLOW , even the "Bluebook”. It is our ambition to lead; and in most things we DO.

Worsham Company “C” is known by all the cadets and town students ot the “L. S. U. W ar School” as the “Crappo” company. This is on account of the predominance of the “Crappoes” in the company in former years. This name should have been dropped, as there are no more “crappoes” in “C” now than in some of the other compa­ nies. Still “C” has the distinction of being the only company in the battalion that has a real name. It is said that a soldier is rarely a fluent speaker or a great literary genius. Of course, a great general must be a rapid and deep thinker, as well as a man of action; but still, as a rule, our great statesmen are not our best soldiers. As a result of this nat­ ural condition of affairs one would not look in “C” for men to make the laws of the country. If he were to do so, however, he would be surprised. Many of the “Soldier Boys” in “C” company prom­ ise some day to be great men. It might require some speculation on our part, but still we could furnish a list of quite a number of names of those who maj be great some day. As we are all more or less modest in a way, it may be best to mention few names and thus spare many blushes. We will quickly run over the first few names until we come to one who is well known in all University circles, and (we hope) is destined to be far better known throughout the State ar.d, perhaps, the United States. We do not mean to say that this man is in any way better than any one else in the company, or that he will ever be any more than any one else, but his present fame, and the modesty of the others, entitles him to first place. The person here referred to is none other than the renowned Lieut. Fen Appleton Swann, of St. Louis, Mo. (but his summer home is near Cheneyville). Swann is also known as “Wick,” “Fen,” “Alfonso,” “Punkins,” but chiefly as “Devil”. As well as being prominent in the military, Devil is a great social star, his starring being done at the Cadet Hops. Devil never misses one of the hops. The entreaties of his best friends are of no avail. On the night of one of them a certain friend of our Devil asked him not to go to the Hop and beseeched him on bended knees, as the story goes, but Devil replied, “Oh! go to the Devil, I’m going to the Hop.” Some of the Sargents of “C” complain that First Sergeant Allison is too fond of breakfast. They evidently think that break­ fast will in som way do him harm. There are also rumors that they have attempted to bribe his early-rising room mate, Freshie Mills, but without success. It does not seem that this, habit of our friend B. M. has taken much hold of those of rank above him. J. F. C. P.S.— Captain Collins is a very modest man. I can prove it. For one thing, see above. You will see that he never even insinuates any thing about himself. If that is not sufficient, look at his pic­ ture. Did you ever see any one altogether more modest, and, in fact, more utterly insignificant? I’m sure you never did. This Collins chap hails from Slaughter. You notice he hails from Slaughter. He didn’t just come. People come from New York, Chicago, Port Allen and New Orleans. They always hail from Slaughter, St. Gabriel, and such places. You see when they say that, people think of how deliciously startling and "homme deterre that word hail sounds, and they alto­ gether lose sight of the place. So Collins hails from Slaughter. When he goes home, he just “drops” down for a day or so. That word drops , too, has a special meaning. To his college friends it sounds delightfully careless, but to the inhabitants of Slaughter it means something real and definite. Now I can’t prove this. I ve never been there, but they say Slaughter has a pile of Shavings,— and, well,— John “drops” in on them. But Slaughter is to be congratulated on using shavings instead of saw-dust. So many places use saw-dust. But to get back on the track. When John is neither hail­ ing or dropping, he ornaments the campus and disgraces the pro­ fession of the agriculturist. However, that is not of any im­ portance to a military description. They were a long time finding John. He managed to hide himself quite successfully for a while behind demerits and the flag-pole. But he just couldn’t be missed altogether, and so one day they nabbed him and sold him a pair of Corporal stripes. Since that time his rise has been rapid and brilliantly illuminated with deserving deeds. In other words, John has made good, as a cadet and as an officer, which are two entirely different things; and he will leave his Crappo” Company in June with the good-will and friendship of the entire corps.

T. W. B aird P. H. J o n e s A. E. L e e A. J . R o l l e r E. A. S o w ar S . H. V ig n e s Dear Reader, at last you come to “D ” Company, last in line; but do not think for a moment that it is by any means least. It is last because of the unfortunate position of the letter “D” in the alphabet. The men of “D” recruited from every course at L. S. U., are at the opening of school merely a bunch of good fellows, but when the session draws to a close they have been welded into a company, faithful to L. S. U., and loyal to

M iss G l a d y s G ia n e l l o n i, Spon sor their company. It could not be said that “D” stands first in drill, but it can be said without fear of contradiction that “D” for the past several years has set a pace not yet reached by the other companies, and this year is no exception. “D” excels not only in drill, but also in every phase of college activity. The varsity teams have each year their sprinklings of “D” men. In football “D” is repre- sented by the Green brothers; in baseball, by Zimmerman; in basket-ball, by Ross and Pearce; in track, by Little and Galloway. “D’s” standing socially obliged it to revive a custom that has for some time Iain dormant. This custom was selecting a Sponsor from among the fair sex. Miss Gladys Gianelloni hav­ ing been asked by “D ” company, kindly consented to act in that capacity, and “D” hopes to show its appreciation by being ex­ celled by none and equalled by few in all military activities. Every individual in this company has a personality all his own. To enumerate the peculiarities and eccentricities of each man would require volumes which would make the Encyclopedia of the W orld blush with shame. “D ” has the distinguished honor, as you all know, of having as its Captain, W. H. Louviere, whom every member in "D” has learned to love. Captain Louviere being away the first part of the year, gave the other companies the advantage— every one knows a company will do for its Captain what it will do for no other. However, “D’s” supremacy is not all due to its Captain, but a good deal to the men that make up the company. They have a company spirit that neither of the other companies can boast of. Their mottoes are: “Boys, let’s put it over them , and “Boys, let’s get together.” To stop this biography of “D” Company without men­ tioning the peculiarities of some of its members would be a crime to the University, especially when it has in its folds such as: Frank Womack, whose imitation of a cock’s crow doth charm the ears of Sergeant Hogan. John Burden, gamest man of the battalion, who keeps a standing bet with the Commandant. Dwight Morgan, grand howler, whose interest in Co­ eds is only equaled by his interest in books. Fitz Pharr, whose intellect varies inversely to his age. Slogan Moore, who hopes to graduate before Fitz Pharr. Galloway, First Serg. of “D”, whose only fear is of the Co-eds. Freshie East, undisputed champion of laziness. Ross, whose sole ambition is to cap the charms of the High School girls. Rand Dyer, member of nobility, and favorite with the fair sex. Jap Wright, who has the distinction of changing his looks by changing his hat. Freshies Wright, Newsom, and Pugh, the baby trio. Tot Drew, breaker of hearts and bottles, also company poet. Chandler, who takes Greek.— “ 'nough said.” Thus endeth the chronicles of “D ”. E. G. and J. W. D.

H e is a member of the Junior Class. T. R. Mobley, Coushatta, La., 21 years of age holding up 176 pounds, and every pound a man. He reaches 5 feet 11 inches and accomplishes whatever he de­ termines to do; played sub one year; played guard on varsity this year, and is a member of Junior Class.

He smiles and says I am ARTHUR E . K lOCK from Cheneyville, La. 22 years of age; 175 pounds in weight, 6 feet I inch, nearer to Heaven, and a member of the Junior Class. Played guard on the varsity two years. He is an aggressive player and waits not for the enemy but strikes first.

H . V. FLUKER, Monroe, La.; 21 years old, 5 feet 10J/2 inches tall and weighs 100 pounds. He is in the Freshman Class, played end and is “just the fastest thing.”

The Louisiana State University has been indeed fortunate in securing for the 1914 football boys the services of McDonald, of Colgate. He is known throughout the North for his excellence as an all-American football player. He is known throughout the South for his excellence as a coach, having made a team at Jefferson College out of mostly green country boys, which has been the undisputed champion in Louisiana Prep, school circles throughout his entire service there. H e is a man among men, and we feel sure that he and our boys will co-operate in making a team that will not only defeat Auburn, but will win the coveted title of South­ ern championship.

Five years ago L. S. U . did not know what intercollegiate track athletics looked like. To-day the track team boys hold the only undisputed title of Southern champions that Louisiana has ever gained. As a proof of this they brought back from the S. I. A . A . meet in New Orleans, in May, 1913, a cup. This cup is now to be seen in first one building and another— where all may look and marvel. And what leader accomplished all this? Fred C. Beckler, of New Orleans, a champion boxer, fighter, and walker, who knows the physical body like an engineer knows his engine. A nd it is to Fred that the entire university is looking for another cham­ pionship team; and it is on Fred’s team that all fans are staking their bottom dollar. A nd they will win.

The Advent of Politics in Co-Ed-dom

OLITICS made its first terrific invasion into the hitherto unsullied ranks of the co-ed body during the session of 1913-1914, and as the result was so overwhelming and left such a lasting mark on the annals of the University that the whole story of the disastrous campaign, with its decisive and undecisive battles, its skirmishes, individual con­ flicts, scouting parties, hordes of victims, the dread days of recon­ struction and the results on the co-eds, the university, the state and nation, will doubtless be related to future generations, in histories of the state. 1 herefore, for the benefit of the historians, an authentic and detailed account of the whole occurrence will be recorded in this book. Until the time mentioned, few political thoughts had occurred to L. S. U.’s fem­ inine mind. 1 he few class offices accorded to the girls were usually presented to them, and in the Co-ed Club, the official organization of the co-eds, no one desired the offices enough to dispute them. The name “Co-ed” became synonymous with “Inactivity”. J his was the state of affairs when a group of enthusiasts, incited by an able leader, con­ ceived the idea of publishing a humorous magazine. With the altruism which marks all feminine movements—in their beginning—the idea was broached that the co-ed body be given the privilege of mothering the magazine, by this means removing the stigma of ‘having accomplished nothing”. Accordingly a meeting was called, at which the plan was discussed and accepted by the club. The election of a board of managers, etc., was postponed to a later meeting, and the club adjourned, the members leaving the place in a peaceful and smiling mood. Little did they dream of the storm about to break. Suddenly out of a cloudless sky, the Monster—the Curse of modern life—dread POLITICS—came hurtling down into the midst of the bewildered co-eds. Candi­ dates galore for editorships equally galore, sprang up at a moment’s notice. Campaign managers became proficient in the art of making stump speeches, and several enthusiastic supporters of the different candidates spent two months' allowance on chocolate-malted- milks with which to bribe the neutral ones. Every corner of the Teachers’ College Building became infested with political plotters, and those taking an active part in the race never went out alone. At last the decisive day of the campaign arrived. Co-eds whom no one knew existed were discovered and coaxed to the meeting to add to the votes of either side. The air was tense, and usually smiling faces were set and determined. The meeting was called to order and the long-simmering political bomb exploded. The previous meeting was declared illegal, a re-vote taken, and the magazine proposition voted down. Three minutes after the meeting came to order it was adjourred. The result of this political cataclysm was that the most enthusiastic supporters of the magazine rose dazedly from the ruins of their plan, organized themselves into an ex­ clusive club and published the magazine, made a tremendous success of it, and added greatly to the already glorious fame of the Louisiana State University. The atmosphere has cleared now and bids fair to remain in that condition, for at the mention of politics the fair co-eds turn pale, shudder, and run for the nearest shelter. This, then, is the true tale of the brief sojourn of politics in Co-ed-dom.

A Friend One golden link in life's uncertain chain. O’er all the rest you bore the greatest strain. How many times just such a link I've found To be mere useless tinsel, gilded round With passing joys, a single year at most, And broken quite, I find the empty boast, And there revealed such selfish pleasure lies Our friendship proves mere mockery in disguise. And searching so, each link I fully test To find its strength; Among the rest I found one. battered, worn, and old; Yet looking close, it shone like tarnished gold; Unthinking still, I judged it common brass And looked no further, then prepared to pass On to the next. Each link I tested until all was done. Returning then unto the battered one, I looked again, and yet—my heart was sore, For though I’d searched the entire chain quite o'er, I found no link as strong as this I held. I gazed in wonder. Where each sunbeam fell The tortured metal sent an answering ray Which showed each scar; and then as clear as day I saw the wounds endured for me alone. O friend of mine! How can I e’er alone For half the needless anguish, pain and woe That I have caused you? Ah! I did not know. Who am I that deserves such love as yours? Such friendship scoins the very earth and soars To heights undreamed. Friendship itself enthroned, O’er all the rest you stood the test alone. The strongest, dearest link of all to me, The bond which joins Life, God and Destiny. r m s M s m x 0 / & The Dramatic Club

Barrington has a tilt with his father and Miriam gets “a call” from her mother, Just because she looked at Mr. Ossian.” But Suzanne encourages Miriam and hearing the young men enter, the two girls rush to the stair-case and onto the landing. “There’s only one girl in the whole world,” from Fred, to which Strong assents, and the young ladies pelt them with roses. And then, by a happy arrangement, the coquettish Miriam is left—alone—with her dejected lover. The scene ends with Fred still dense to Miriam’s love for him and still pursued by debts and debtors.

ACT III. "Barry my boy,” is being sent to sea as a means of reformation. It is announced that Fred has reformed and has become a man of affairs. Suzanne has "fixed it all up” with Mrs. Ossian, to make it easy for her daddy, and she and Miriam exchange confidences: “No, I am not engaged, but I am going to be, to-day.” Sure enough when Fred and Miriam have reached the most critical moment, “Hooray! I’ve got her,” from the highly elated, but backward Green. Whereupon Suzanne enters: “Daddy, Andrew and I have taken that walk.” The debts are paid; the objecting mother is rec­ onciled. At last love reigns. “Hooray.” The Pentagonal Debating League

N the year 1910 the Pentagonal Debating League was organized. It is composed of L. S. U., University of Texas, University of Ten- ne:see, University of Arkansas, and the University of Mississippi. All the debates are held on the same day, on the second Friday of April. Each university submits two possible questions for debate, and that question which receives a majority vote is the one selected for t1 e annual debates of the league. The several universities pre­ pare an affirmative team, which remains at home, and a negative team, which goes abroad to debate against the affirmative home team. Louisiana had Arkansas and Mississippi as opponents in the first debate under this new league. L. S. U. was represented on the affirmative side by Mr. D. J. Ewing and Mr. D. A. Meeks, who debated the University of Mississippi here at Baton Rouge. The negative team consisted of Messrs. J. Y. Sanders, Jr., and G. J. Gulotta. Although Dr. A. G. Reed, then chairman of the committee on debating, very ably instructed these men in argumentation so that both teams presented scientific arguments in a most force­ ful manner, the result was that both teams were defeated. Our defeat, though, at the hands of Arkansas is chiefly accounted for by the fact, not that we had an inferior team, but that the judges were plainly put over us. In those days the negative team went alone, but at the persistent demand of both Dr. A. G. Reed and Dr. J. Q. Adams, now chairman of the committee on debating, authority was obtained from the faculty to have the visiting team accompanied by a university professor. We shall now see how, under the able coaching of Dr. Adams, who is acknowledged to be the best public speaking teacher in the South, Louisiana achieved a series of brilliant victories which made her the undisputed champion of the league. The subject of debate for the next contest in the spring of 1912 was the desirability of the income tax as a means of tax­ ation. The affirmative side was upheld for L. S. U. by Messrs. Y. Boatner and A. B. Whitlow against the University of Tennessee, which resulted in a decisive victory for Louisiana. Our negative team, Messrs. C. J. Bolin, G. J. Gulotta and Cleveland Dear, alternate, contested against the “Long Horns” (Univ. of Texas), at Austin, with the result that the "Tigers’* triumphed by a vote of 2 to I. Notwithstanding the fact that a member of the league claimed that the income tax proposition had no negative, L. S. U. proved that it had by upholding this side against the very university making this claim, and defeating it on its own territory. After the smoke of the forensic battle had risen, L. S. U. proudly found herself the champion of the league, being the only member that had won both sides. The debate last year, 1913, was over the Aldrich plan of a reserve association to cure the defects of our National Banking system. Louisiana's affirmative team, con- sisting of Messrs. S. G. Lucky and W . M. Phillips. E. R. Stoker, alternate, defended the proposition against Arkansas, with the result of a victory of 2 to I for L. S. U. The negative side of the question was vigorously and forcefully upheld by the stalwarts, A . B. Whitlow and Cleveland Dear, with “ Bob” Greene as alternate. The result was an overwhelming victory of 3 to 0 in favor of the Louisianians. Coming now to the teams which have been selected by a careful process of elimina­ tion, and which will represent this university in the annual inter-collegiate debates of April 1914, we have Messrs. A . B. Whitlow and Fisher Middleton, with Mr. James Barnett alternate, who will most emphatically affirm ""That the President of the United States should be elected for a term of six years, and be ineligible for re-election. The University of Texas’ team comes to Baton Rouge to contest with this team. Louisiana s. negative team, composed of Messrs. T. J. Magee and A . S. H. Trappey, with Mr. R. H . Lee as alternate, will travel to Tennessee to attack with all their might the pro­ posed plan, and to vindicate our present system. The attack will be met by the U ni­ versity of Tennessee at Knoxville. It is believed by the coach. Dr. J. Q. Adams, and the members of both teams that Louisiana will maintain its brilliant record of the past two years. The importance of debating as one of the university activities can not be over­ emphasized. Debating trains the individual to speak from the platform, express his thoughts clearly and forcibly, argue in a shrewd and logical manner, develop self-con­ trol and ease in speaking, and compose English in a pure yet simple style. By intelli­ gent and persistent attempts, a person can not but fail to achieve these results. W e will all be ultimately brought into the whirl of business activities where character and brains count, where mind clashes with mind, and where the thing said occupies an equal import­ ance with the manner in which it is said. This latter phase, especially, debating strives to develop and perfect in individuals. The students of L. S. U. should feel proud that their university holds the cham­ pionship of a league composed of five of the greatest universities of the South, and they should strive to maintain their institution in such an enviable position— the champion of the Pentagonal Debating League. I his they can do by all entering the preliminaries, working actively and sincerely on the subject of debate, and encouraging others along, so that when the final selections are made, we may feel confident that we have teams whose defeat is only possible by arguments embodying shrewdness, logic and oratory of the very highest order. Realizing that the men who are chosen to represent this university in inter-collegiate debates sacrifice as much, work as hard, devole as much time, and reflect as much honor on the institution, as athletic heroes, L. S. U. now awards to the varsity debating squad the “ L ” as an appreciation of their work. Besides, a debating medal is given. Varsity Debaters, 1914

Historical Sketch of the Y. Y. O. Club The Y. Y. O. Club was organized on December 10, 1910, and had an original membership of five. At first the membership was confined to cadets living in the bar­ racks, but was later extended to town students. Growth was at first slow, but with the expanding into town, the club took a fresh start and soon became strong enough to move into a home of its own. This took place at the beginning of the session of 1912-1913. Since that time the club has occupied its own home, and at the first of the session of 1913-1914 a change was made to a larger house to accommodate the growing membership. The club members have taken a prominent part in University life, as will be evi­ denced by the fact that some are Varsity men on track, and in debating, others have held high offices in the Military Department, others have held places of literary attainment, and several are at present in the faculty. Our alumni members are scattered over two states and are doing excellent work in their respective callings. The aim of the club has been perfection in mind, morals, and muscles, and great strides have been made in that direction.

About ten years ago the Young Men’s Christian Association at the Louisiana State University was a weak organization, struggling for a bare existence. To-day it is a strong, flourishing institution whose power for good is felt throughout the entire Uni­ versity. It now has about one hundred and fifty names on its membership roll, and among these may be found the names of most of the leading students in the University. And why has the Association met with such success at Louisiana State? Because it stands for the three great essentials in the making of a man—the development of SPIRIT, Mind and Body. No man can do his best in life unless he has all three sides of his being well developed; he must be morally straight, mentally awake, and physically strong. To this end the Y. M. C. A. promotes religion, study and athletics. It seeks to develop the religious side of each student by conducting devotional meetings, prayer meetings, Bible study groups, and mission study classes. These same agencies are conducive to mental development, for one can not fail to learn something if he hears a good lecture, or studies the Bible, or a missionary book. The Association promotes ath­ letic development by encouraging all phases of athletic sports, and conducting basket­ ball games, tennis and boxing tournaments. Some of the most notable things that the Y. M. C. A. has done this year are as follows: (1) It has conducted a good lyceum course consisting of six numbers. Each one of the entertainments was attended and enjoyed by a large number of town people and Faculty members as well as the students. (2) It brought to the University some of the best speakers and lecturers in the United States. On November 1 5, Dr. W. S. Hall, of Chicago, one of the best authorities on Sexual Hygiene and Reproduction, gave one of his great lectures to practically the entire student body. From February 18 to 22, Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of Nashville, Tenn., and Mr. E. C. Mercer, of New York City, conducted a series of lectures on religious and moral problems. These lectures were well attended and of great benefit to the entire student body. Every year sees some new thing added to make the Association more attractive. This year the Association home has been in the "Old Hospital. The building used last year had to be given up because it was needed for class rooms, but the present home is better suited to the needs of the Association than the other one. In this home may be found a good piano, a new victrola, and a pocket billiard table. These things add very materially to the social life of the students. Looking back over the year’s work we find that it has been generally successful. We have greater plars for next year, and we feel confident that the Young Men’s Chris­ tian Association will continue to grow in strength and in service to the students of L. S. U. Y. W. C. A.

Young Women’s Christian Association

The Young Women’s Christian Association of the Louisiana State University was first definitely organized during the session of 191 2-’ I 3. As it was organized rather late in the session, and as such work was very new to most of the young lady students, little of permanent value was accomplished except the organization of Bible study classes, the election of officers and the appointment of committees for the following year, and the appointment of two delegates to the Blue Ridge Conference in June. The two delegates appointed were Miss Mattie Quine and Miss Annie W alker. They came home from this conference full of plans, energy, and devotion. Even before the beginning of the present session all the plans were laid and campaigns mapped out. It must be confessed that the aims were very, very high, and that the Association has not even approached the ideals of the members. During the days of registration, committees were on hand to welcome the girls, help them register, initiate them into the mysteries o j schedules, and teach them where the Pentagon was. A week later a social was given to all the new girls, and the Y . W . C. A. had begun its campaign. The first of December the Association was very fortunate in having a two-days’ visit from one of the traveling secretaries of the South Central Field, Miss Frances Smith, who gave to all renewed inspiration. Meetings have been held each week, socials en­ joyed, and a mission study class organized. And feeling that athletics were too important to neglect, the Y. W. C. A. has started a movement which bids fair to establish a permanent, active interest in athletics among the co-eds. So much for what has already been done. But there is so very, very much that the Association has planned to accomplish. The leaders in the work realize the wonder­ ful opportunity that is theirs, of increasing spirituality among the girls; teaching them the joy that comes from helping others; showing all that being a Christian is the best thing in life, that long-faced Christianity is out of date, and that clean, wholesome fun is a part of the Christian life. The one thing which the Association feels that the girls of the L. S. U. need most of all, in a material way, is a dormitory and a Dean of Women. It seems that if this ideal could be accomplished, it would mean great things for the future womanhood of the State, for it would insure to them a kind, watchful care, mentally, morally and physically, and make parents feel much safer in letting “daughter” come to the “Uni­ versity.” Therefore, the Association feels that arousing a sentiment for such dorim- tory and its accompanying gymnasium is the greatest thing that can be done for the girls who are to follow us,— and for the University. The Y. W. C. A. stands for great things, splendid ideals, high purposes. It stands for loyalty to Christ, to his church, to one another, to the University. It stands for the uniting together of all the girls into an organized whole— a whole which is organized for care of each individual girl. Thus drawn together, it proposes to send young women out to make Christ real to the women of the world. It stands for personal recognition of the duty that each one owes to God. It stands for training for a life’s work. It creates an enthusiasm for high standards. It stands for right living in the class room and on the street. It stands for devotion to our personal duties and for cultivation of pure friend­ ship. It stands for a bigger and better University. Literary Societies

O longer do the walls of Irion and Heard Halls echo to the voices of embryo orators ar.d debaters as they did when the members of the Garig and Graham Literary Societies held their weeklv meetings within them. A n d where is the venerable H ill Debating So­ ciety that presumed to deliver a funeral oration upon the death of its departed associates after the removal of the exemption system? It, too, has long since departed this life, and leaves no one to mourn its death or to perform the last sad ceremonies— unless it be the two co-ed literary societies, the Nicholson and the Boyd. It is true that these are still in existence, but having been organized during the session of 191 I-’ 12, they do not feel able to perform this duty. Whether it was the abolition of the exemption system that killed the debating so­ cieties among the cadets is an unsettled question. They may have been superseded by contests in inter-collegiate debating and the oratorical league. But it is a significant fact that societies which had proved popular among the cadets for several years should have died shortly after the faculty decided to discontinue giving exemption from final examina­ tion in one or two subjects for work done in the literary society. The Garig society, which was the oldest of the three, was founded during the session of 1903-’04. The H ill came into existence during the following session, while the Graham was founded in 1 908-’09. It is the hope of the two co-ed societies that they may live and thrive until they can at least become old enough to deliver a funeral oration upon the death of the H ill.

Louisiana Germ an Club

EFUNCT! How much of pathos there is in that word—the passing of a time-honored institution around which hover many associations, over which many years of honorable history have cast a glamorous, tradition. 1 rue to those ideals which have made its name one above reproach, the Louisiana German Club chose extinction rather than compromise. Rats and mice no longer complain to one another at having to re­ main in their stuffy holes while after-midnight revelers make merry upon the waxed floors. Gloomy and deserted the University Pavilion speaks particularly to those who have seen it filled with bright lights and peopled with youtK and radiant beauty. This the first goal of the Baton Rouge debutante whose enduring young charms were here first displayed, this the arena where college widows from whose cheek the first bloom of youth had faded and in whose eyes the fresh sparks of wonderment had given place to the glint of calculation, fought desperately to retain the scepter placed in their hands X number of years before, this the scene of triumphs, many conquests, where once was soft pulsing music, gurgling laughter, and the faint lingering breath of crushed flowers, now stands deserted, and silence, musty and gloomy, hangs like a pall. The spider busily plies his trade, and from rafter and joist hang fantastic festoons of his delicate handwork; mouldering bits of moss, palmetto leaves, dry, hard, bleached, and hanging awry; a faded piece of bunting trailing dejectedly; a dance program, its once creamy white surface marred by heel marks, tell of other days than these. Priestly, and with characteristic dignity, the Louisiana German Club has slipped away to join the sewing circle, the husking bee, and the quilting party, in the strands of oblivion. Requiescat in Pace. Editor’s Note: The above is the most flagrant abuse of poetic license appear­ ing in this volume. The University pavilion was recently inspected by the health officer, and declared to be in good condition, and in every way a fit place for the poultry show which is to be held there soon.

Dancing at the University

A N C IN G in one form or another has always been allowed at the University, and there has always been some kind of club for the pur­ pose of fostering that graceful and artistic pastime. Even in the days when rabbits went about the duties incident to the rearing of a large family unmolested in the briar patches that covered the space now used as a parade ground, or frolicked in the moonlight on the board walk that formerly ran from the gate— there was a real -gate at the University entrance in those days— up to the barracks, youth and beauty met and on-ed with the dance. But in those days the unfortunate creatures had to content themselves with tramping around through the figures of that mythical folk dance that tradition tells us was called the “ square dance” . But we all know now that the past generation were simple folk, and we can well believe that they enjoyed themselves after a fashion. In those days the University welkin— there was a welkin then— rang and echoed the shouts of the prompter’s “ Swing the lady on your right! Balance all! ” and the younger set “milled” around till the candles burned down to the sockets, and every one said then just as they do now that they had a lovely time. Then the “ round dance” came. N o exclamation mark less in height than W ash­ ington’s monument would properly express the ejaculations of horror that greeted this innovation. From an old book of that day, “How To Learn To Waltz In Three Minutes” , we learn the proper method of assembling the dual parts of a dancing couple preparatory to a "set” . The relative positions of that day and this are about the same, except that there was less of proximity and contiguity. The right hand of the gentle­ man was supposed to be placed firmly but gently around the lady at the waist line— wherever it happened to be— and was not plastered up between the shoulders with that proprietary air now in vogue; the other hand, arm extended, clasped the lady’s hand with the fingers dovetailed. W altzing, as set forth in the dance annuals, was exact science; but in reality it consisted of a series of staccato oscillations reciprocally executed by a lady and gentle­ man to the accompaniment of music. T o use a mechanical term, there was quite a bit of “ lost motion” . W altzing of that period has been aptly described as consisting of two steps and a bounce, the bounce properly coming on the emphasizing beat of the music. The romping two-step had not then been invented. W hen it did appear, like its predecessor, it got its. Young ladies who dared to dance it did so with the consciousness that the epithet “ Tom boy” was being whisperingly applied to them by the chaperons and the girls who had not learned it. Think of it! It was once considered a bit “wild” to dance the two-step! And now—well, one can if one wishes—and can get a partner— but it reminds one of Arthur’s prayers with the exception no one would follow the heroic example. It might well be added that Arthur’s job would be a much harder one now that it was in his day. Time passed on. The once expressive and sophisticated formula “H.M.T.”, be­ came superfluous other than a descriptive term applied to buggies, and the twentieth century dawned. With it was ushered in the era of smooth dancing. Present day dances often hear reference made to the beauty and grace of that form of dancing, and really the popular dances can not be aptly spoken of as the poetry of motion as were their predecessors. But little reck they, not a reck. Poets can not dance anyway, so their dyspeptic observations relative to the degeneracy of the times and the lost art of dancing are paid scant ceremony. It is not necessary to more than mention the dancing wave that recently struck this country, nor the wave of parental, municipal, chaperonical, and ecclesiastical tabooing that followed. The smiles caused by the bitter, caustic Philippics hurled forth in an effort to shoo away the one-step bugaboo, have not yet left the lips of those young people who were so graphically pictured as marching at route step down the broad road that leads to destruction, if we are to place any reliance in finger-boards. There has always been a dancing club of some kind at the University. Many years ago the dances were called hops—very appropriately, perhaps in view of the aforemen­ tioned bounce—and the club was known as the Hop Club. Later there was organized the Cotillion Club which danced those tactical maneuvers called germans. There were at the beginning of the present session two dancing clubs at the Uni­ versity, the L. S. U. German Club* and the Hop Club*, both of which gave dances in the pavilion on the campus, under the auspices of the University. For a time these organizations refused to recognize the one-step as an official dance, but there grew up such a demand for dancing innovations, in which demands the "weaker vessels" did not observe that discreet silence imposed upon them by one of the inspired writers, that a gradual relaxation of the rules followed. It was at this stage that the faculty, bejuiled by the sophisms of the philippic hurlers, joined the ranks of the minority and began to taboo with some vigor. A strict quarantine was inaugurated, but in spite of the official seal of disapproval the one-step continued to flourish. Then the censors did their duty. The authorities were perplexed. There stood facing them a dilemma of the Texas steer variety. It is at such times that those inherent Napoleonic qualities which lie dormant in the bosom of one whom we least suspect are brought forth. Here was an opportunity for some one. Who would dehom this dilemma, administer an admonitory twist to his caudal appendage, and send him kiting away forever a muley? Was there a Washington to take command? Was there a Caesar who dared to cross the Rubicon? Was there a Hannibal to brave the chilling blasts—those having ironical smiles will prepare to use them—of chaperonic disapproval, and surmount the Alpine barriers of social conserva­ tism? Was there an Alexander to cut the Gordian knot into which the well meaning but bungling interference of the facutly had contrived to tie up the situation? Was there an Arnold Winkelried, unmindful of self, to rush headlong upon the solid phalanx of social orthodoxy? Yes, verily there was. Not one, but several (with characteristic American prodigality). A bloodless revolution followed. Fearless of reprisals that might follow, a few leading spirits assembled, organized forthwith an extra-University dancing club, with its domicile at Gottlieb Hall in the city of Baton Rouge, elected one another to office, and the faculty found itself in a situation analogous to that of Lord Uhlin—they were left tabooing. The selection of an appropriate name for the new club occasioned some perplexity. Realizing, however, that they were the exponents of a revolt against soul-stifling formalism, that the new movement was an attempt to cast off the galling shackles of despotic con­ servatism and free the spirit of buoyant youth from the trammels of social orthodoxy, and showing a surprising grasp of the deep significance of this Terpsichorean upheaval, the officers of the piratical organization with a happy appropriateness characteristic of re­ sourceful imagination called it La Renaissance. The dark deed was done! Up with the Jolly Roger! A call for volunteers was issued. Scores of malcontents, some with the down of youth upon their cheeks, and others with the snow of many winters or the signs of de­ forestation upon their heads, responded with a quickness that made the celerity of the minute men of ’76 dwindle to snail-like deliberation. But the ranks of the Daughters of the Revolution were not so crowded, as their recruits did not spring to arms so quickly; and it seemed at one time that the followers of the social Romuluses would have to resort to ungentle tactics and put one over on the Sabines. At the present writing, how­ ever, no one is conspicuous by absence, and no shanghai-ing has been done. Vive La Renaissance !! ^Deceased. La Renaissance Club

To the Readers of THE 1914 GUMBO

HESE advertisers have sig­ nified their loyalty to L. T S. U. by patronizing our advertising section. We en­ dorse their reliability by granting them space. They have proved their faith in us, let us return it with liberal patronage. — The Management. A FERVENT “FAN”.

“ Young man! W hat did you mean by hugging my daughter? ” “ O h— er- that’s all right. I was explaining baseball to her— and illustrating the ‘squeeze play’.” D r . Powers: "Now, Mr. Beyt, will you tell us briefly what is meant by brain localization? ” M r. B e y t : “Yes— er— The brain is localized in the skull which happens to be situated just above the shoulders.” Spring has come, and with it the inevitable spring poet. A certain cadet who holds quarters in “ F ” Building promises to equal the reputation of our esteemed friend “ Dummy’’ Garrett, but unlike him he pushes the pen in the line of parodies. Here is what he wrote: LOST— N e a r 5 3 6 Boyd Avenue, an umbrella belonging to a gentleman with a bent rib and a bone handle.

“ If Mother Eve were now on earth, I think, ’tween me and you. She’d send her fig-leaf in to town To be slit as the fashion new. this is what his rival said of his exhaustless line: “ M y memory can not do justice to his masterly tribute to that priceless, God-given treasure— Miss Blank’s voice. He raved over it in terms that, if they had been addressed to the morning stars when they sang together, would have made that stellar choir explode in a meteoric shower of flaming self-satisfaction.” This is what was written on a sign hung on the door of a church in Port Allen:

WANTED! A n organist and a boy to blow the same. A L IM E R IC K

A maiden there was very sweet, Her figure was curvey and neat, But when you looked down, You learned, with a frown, She’d inherited papa’s big feet. AIN’T IT AWFUL?

A cadet boasts of having overheard the conversation of two girls on Indian Mound. H e states that one asked the other: “ A n d did he have the nerve to kiss.” The other re­ plied: "Yes, and I had the cheek.” Isn’t this scandalous for such a sacred spot as Indian Mound? “Just one,” she said, "but don’t you tell,” And as their lips were meeting, “I swear I won’t” he sighed, “but Nell, It’s really worth repeating.” OH! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

O n hearing that there was a movement on foot to change the name of Arkansas, a very enthusiastic boy of that state itched for an opportunity to express his ideas. W hen put on the program for an oration in a literary society, he concluded his famous speech

with these words: “ Y ou may desecrate the monument of a George Washington, you may insult the grave of a Thomas Jefferson, you may corrupt the morals of a W illiam J. Bryan, but change the name of Arkansas! Y o u don’t know the difference between-, the splendor of a noon-day’s sun and the faint glow of a lightning-bug's body.” Besides being a good baseball player, Mr. Grismore is establishing for himself an enviable reputation as a philosopher. Here is his latest: “When I was just about to remark that the world was getting more truthful, here comes a story from a man in Port Allen who says that he caught a bull frog that could whistle like a clarionet. Such things are very discouraging indeed.” There was an old lady who lived under a hill. If she hasn’t moved she lives there still.

A member of the L. S. U. band has just recently composed a music piece entitled: “W hat’s the Use of Chewing, when The Mess Hall Beef Steak Is So Tough? ” Spencer was telling one of his remarkable stories. Says he: I saw a man hand­ cuffed behind his back, and a criminal-looking brute walked up to him and cut his head off. The handcuffed man very quietly picked up his head and put it back on. A t this point “ Shorty” Lacour noted a discrepancy and immediately interrupted with these words:
