Returned to the University in 1873 as Adjunct Professor of Mathematics, and served in various capacities during the troublesome reconstruc tion period, when there were no State appropriations and professors and cadets were few in number. Was Commandant of Cadets for several years nntil the first United States Army Officer, Lieut. M. F. Jamar, was detailed to that office in 1S7D. Was elected Professor of English at the reorganization of the University in 1880, and Pro fessor of History and English Literature in 18_§3, when Col. Wm. Preston John ston resigned that chair and the presidency in order to take charge of the Tulane University. Resigned the Chair of History and English Literature in 1888 to accept the presidency of the Louisiana State Normal School at Natchitoches, where he remained until elected President of the Louisiana State University in 189G. Was one of the original members and afterwards president of the Louisiana Educational Association ; one of the founders and afterwards president of the Louisiana Chautau qua at Ruston, and President of the Board of Directors that founded the Louisiana School Review. Received the honorary degree of LL.D. from the Tulane University in 1897.
13 Col. J. W . Nicholson J. W. NICHOLSON, A. M., LL.D.
Senior Professor.
“ Long experience has made him a sage.” Dk. J. W. N ic h o l so n was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, though his maternal ancestors had resided in Louisiana since 1818. His father, W. B. Nicholson, a cotton planter and merchant, moved with his family to Claiborne parish, Louisiana, when the son was only three months old, where he resided until his death, which occurred in 1900. Dr. Nicholson’s paternal great-grandfather, Capt. Harry Nichol son, a Marylander, and also his maternal, great-grandfather, Maj. Thomas Wafer, a South Carolinian, were soldiers in the Revolutionary War. Dr. J. W. Nicholson received his preparatory education in the common schools of his parish, and entered Homer College in his fourteenth year. In the spring of 1861, while in his seventeenth year, he entered the Confederate Army, and served throughout the Civil War in the 12th Regiment, Louisiana Infantry, and surrendered under Gen. J. E. Johnston, at Greensboro, N. C., May 3, 1865. At the close of the war he went directly from the trenches into the school room, where he has been ever since. Ilis first class consisted of a large number of young men who had served with him in the war, whom he instructed only in practical arithmetic. After that he accepted the chair of mathematics in Homer College, but in 1868 established a seminary of his own in Claiborne parish, which continued in successful operation until 1877, at which time he accepted the chair of mathematics in the Louisiana State University, located at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, which position he has held ever since. In 1883 he was elected President of the University, but resigned the position in 1884. In 1888 he was again elected Presi dent, and again resigned it in 1896. He received the degree of A.M. from Homer College in 1870, and the degree of LL.D. has been twice conferred upon him, first by the Polytechnic Institute of Alabama, 1893, and second by Tulane University, 1904. He was President of the Louisiana Educational Association in 1892, and President of the Southern Educa tional Association in 1903. He was one of the leaders in the establishment of the Louisiana Educational Association in 1883, and was for many years Chairman of its Executive Committee, making out all of its programs and conducting all its correspondence. He was twice ele.cted State Lecturer of the Patrons of Husbandry, and while in that position sug gested, and led in the movement which resulted in the establishment of the State Department of Agriculture and Immigration in 1879. He is the author of a series of arithmetics, an elementary algebra, a trigonome try, and a differential and integral calculus. He is now preparing a geometry and a higher algebra. He has written many original monographs on various mathematical subjects, some of which have been published in the leading mathematical magazines of the country, and have received the highest commendation from American and European scholars. A born philosopher, a learned teacher from whose lips issue a fountain of sub lime words. ^One to whom the heavenly muses have been kind; one whose every faculty has been employed in doing glorious deeds; one who refused wealth and high renown in order that lie might give his life and labors towards the upbuilding of his State; first in wisdom, first in teaching, first in the hearts of his students.

Now that we have reached the zenith of our influence among the classes and in the corps, we can calmly and pleasurably look back over the path we have trod to this eminence, and feel our chests expand in the cool, delicious atmosphere of a superior knowledge. Out of the one hundred and sixty-two Sub-Freshmen who entered the University in the fall of 1901, only six now survive. These pioneers of our Class are: L. L. Perrault, W. S. White, E. L. Madere, W. C. Currie, W. B. Knox, and N. H. Feitel. The remainder of the Class has been made up from the choicest products of the high schools of the State. It has been a process of the “survival of the fittest,” and it can readily be seen that our Class is composed of the best material of the State, and is one of the choicest blossoms that has bloomed in the intellectual gardens of the University. While our Class had no large and husky foot-ball men, we have not kept out of athletics altogether, as the Class of ’05 can readily testify. We had the honor of carrying off the First ’Varsity Field Day pennant, awarded in 1905, and for the past two years have maintained the supremacy of the basket-ball field against all comers. The baseball pennant was awarded to our Class in 1904. We have been Reformers, but never Radicals or Anarchists, and have done many things on the quiet for the good of the student body as well as ourselves. One thing that should always redound to the credit and high-minded spirit of the Class of ’06, was their brave and wise stand on the “ pledge business,” and their refusal to go into such an act as would have brought condemnation on the honored name of L. S. U. throughout the State. It is with a feeling of half pleasure and half regret that we leave you, beloved University. We go out into the cold and unfeeling world, but there will ever be a warm spot in our hardened hearts that will respond to the touch of our Alma Mater.

“ Speaking in deeds, and deedless in words.”
We don’t know it all, and we know we don’t. Nor do we pretend to know it all, for this we have learned that no one can know. And if we should pretend to know everything, we would be in this respect like our comrades in the lower classes, around whom the cloud of self-confidence has not yet raised itself high enough to admit the inspiring light of true wisdom. We, being kindly disposed, and retro spective in our views, do not censure them severely, for we, ourselves, do not have to go back far in our memory to arrive at a point where we, like the Freshmen and Sophomores, believed that utterly insignificant was that part of the universe which lay beyond the scope of our visual angle. Like them, we conscientiously believed that “ All that beauty, all that wealth e’er gave” was in our grasp. To us, as it is to them, it seemed “ An easy leap, To pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon, Or dive into the bottom of the deep, . Where fathomed-line could never touch the ground, And pluck up drowned honor by the locks.” But how changed our view's are! We have realized that no divinity will con tract to shape our ends successfully without much long and hard study on our part. And also, we have realized t-hat the professors really know more than we do, and that the Commandant’s authority is somewhat in advance of that of a squad leader. We feel that we are most fortunate in being able to arrive at these conclusions. It is the result of a full appreciation on our part of the need of intellectual training, Of the number of men who three years ago enlisted in the ’07 brigade, about one-third now answer to their names at reveille (if you can wake them u p ). This is a good showing when compared with the classes of the past. The other two- thirds have dropped out through various ways during the three years of desperate warfare. As we now look back through those trying periods, and behold the many obstacles which beset our wyay, all of which wejiave overcome, we feel that the six which we have squeezed out is a creditable one. We have now reached a point from which we can get an occasional glimpse of the ethereal habitation of the Seniors, a place around which a halo of sublime wisdom is supposed to encircle itself. But these airy inrages, dressed in gold lace and a little brief authority, do not for a
41 moment imagine that they are breathing forth their warm breath to no advantage, but rather, the}' behold themselves as statues of learning, the intellectual center of the universe. We, the conservative Class of ’07, will take charge in that supernal realm next year, but under a different rule from that which now holds sway. We have already resolved upon a series of reforms that will carry us to heights of glory unattained by any preceding class, and will make all future classes look down upon our record with envy and despair. Our invocation in all matters, through school and through future life, will be: Lead on, lead on, 0 kindly light; Guide us into the paths of truth and right.

Sophomore Class. Sophomore Class. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY.
What overwhelming thoughts rush to one’s brain when one picks up pen and paper to perform the herculean task of writing an adequate history of that immor tal aggregation of young hopefuls, otherwise known as Sophomores. Ah, ’twould take the eloquence of a Demosthenes to herald faithfully the achievements of the noble Class of 1908! We have at last reached that stage of our journey when we can begin to sit up and take notice. The Sophomore year is by far the most important of the four, for it is the year in which we begin to see into and take hold of what is to be our life’s work. We are, at last, gradually passing out of the shadowy recesses of the Yale of Ignorance, and preparing ourselves for the ascent of the steep and rugged hills from whose summit our eager eyes will catch the first glimpse of the gorgeous tints of the roseate dawn of Knowledge, a dawn which shall bathe our thirsting souls with that thirst-assuaging stream that we have so long sought. In looking back over the achievements of our first two years (for many of us entered the Sub-Freshman Class), we find many things of which w'e may well feel proud. We are the only class that has organized and successfully maintained during the past three years, a wide-awake and reputable literary society, namely, the Garig, which has for two commencements given exercises that would have reflected credit upon a society composed of older and more experienced men. The Class has achieved much in athletics. The naughty-eights entered the field of athletics with that dash and determination of spirit which overcomes all obstacles and knows no defeat. When the clouds of battle had cleared away, our noble eleven came forth bear ing the laurel wreaths of victory. Thus we established ourselves as champions of all classes in that most important of all college sports— foot-ball. Though not so successful in basket-ball, we made it interesting for all comers, and held our own to the end, finishing the season with a percentage of something like 500, which is not half bad. On the track we expect to do great stunts, and unless the other classes look to their laurels, the pennant of crimson and white will be once more flying from the mast of the good ship, Victory.
48 At last our dreams have become realities. We are Sophomores. It has been for two years the goal of our ambition, and now. as that goal has been reached, we feel proud indeed of the distinguished title of “ Wise Pools.” Anyone can be a fool, but to be a wise fool is something else. One must have intellectual ability, unswerving devotion to duty, vivid imaginative pow'ers, an inexhaustible vocabulary, and last but not least, a good supply of common ’orse sense. These qualities blended properly will give that most important factor of every department of college life— a S o p h o m o r e .

A record of the doings of the Class of ’09 must necessarily be short, owing to our short existence at this Institution, for it has been but a few months since the most of us crossed the campus and took up our abode for a four years’ sojourn at Louisiana State University. We are going to be modest and unassuming and not like the Sophomores, the sworn enemies of all Freshmen, boast of the valiant things we have accomplished. We can remember everything that has occurred since our arrival. Perhaps the most impressive event of this, our first year— omitting those of us who enjoyed the thrilling experiences while Sub-Freshmen— was the rousing reception accorded us by the upper classmen, especially the Sophomores. “ This was the most unkindest cut of all.” We wanted to treat them as an honorable foe, expecting the same kindness in return. But their nature remained the same as of yore. We have been bullied, as Freshmen always have been, bv Sophomores, frowned on by the Juniors, and contemptuously ignored by the lords, the Seniors, and are, we daresay, not even respectfully looked up to bv the Sub-Freshmen. But now, as the term is drawing to a close, we can admit that these things do not concern us any more than the boll-weevil concerns the Eskimo. When we look hack on our first year we see that we have learned much. We have learned how the University belongs to us in a “ peculiar way,” the meaning of the honor system, and how to love the old gold and purple. We have found, to our sorrow, the meaning of that mysterious term, “ N. A. D.” We have immensely enjoyed the lectures by the faculty (?), Col. Nicholson’s “ little stories,” and Dr. Bead’s tales of Heidelburg, and, taken altogether, we have “ put off childish ways” and become a much wiser set than we were when we registered last November. Now, if we were to foretell our history of the next three years, we doubt if it could all be contained in a volume so small as this. But that is not the purpose of this little sketch, although there’s no getting around the fact that we have the best of chances to make a good record and excellent names for ourselves. There is plenty of good material in the Class. We have among us some fine orators, and are well represented on the diamond, the gridiron, and the track. We have already carried off honors and hope to capture others in store for us just to show the upper classes that there are others, as well as to win a good reputation for ourselves and keep up that of old L. S. U.
56 We are loath to give up “F” building to the new recruits next term. Dear old “F,” our protector in time of trouble. Are we not the first bunch of Freshmen to have been honored thus? Here’s to the Class of ’ 0!'. May she always take a front seat, have all manner of success and finally graduate the largest and best Senior Class ever launched upon the seas of life from old L. S. IT. “Build me straight, 0 worthy master! Staunch and strong, a goodly vessel, That shall laugh at all disaster, And with wave and whirlwind wrestle.”

60 Sub-freshman Class. CLASS HISTORY OF ’10.
Papa Frock Uncle Crosoe Himes Brother Mack Step-Ma Stummy Sister Barclay
M o t t o : May peace he thine, it is not mine.
Q u e r y : When an irresistible force ( u s ) meets a n immovable object ( 8 . S. & Co.), what’ll happen?
A n s w e r : Will be seen.
T i i e i k C r e e d : I believe not in Frock, the papa confessor, the creator of flunks; nor in Stummy, his only surpasser, who is the masterpiece of the Devil’s handiwork, born to torment us; he should suffer for his impositions, should be lynched, drawn and quartered. He will descend into Hades, and may he never ascend to earth from whence to plague the Fresh and Sub-Fresh. I believe in knock ing the Faculty, the ungodly military system; in the communion with a pipe and a bottle, the forgiveness of our sins, the promotion of the Class, and an easy life everlasting. Amen.
S e l f Eu l o g iu m : I’m a Sub-Fresh and a man. I can cuss louder, fiercer, stouter, and more of it than the average cadet. I can smoke more cigarettes, chew more tobacco, drink more booze, shoot more craps, play more poker, cause more dis turbance and trouble, sing more songs, fight more battles, and cut more capers than most of the Faculty. It does me some good to see a stiff-necked Senior turn white under the gills and fall out, or make him call Capt. Bead “ old pall” to his face, in trying to go the gaits with me. Oh, I tell you, I’m It, a foot deep, good and truly— the real thing. They’ve lodged the idea that I’m cucumber green, warranted fast color, as harmless as a nigger and a watermelon; giving me gall to drink, calling it chocolate. Aw! they’re off. They couldn’t steal a kiss from a grand-ma. Why, Stug is soap-smooth alongside of them. And you know he ain’t. They ought to say “ Twinkle out Little Star,” go somewhere to give the buzzards a good rest. It makes me want to reverse the old law, “ All that goes up, must come down,” and unload when they try to throw their aged gags at me. T h e i r T r o u b l e s : Once they loaded me up with a can and a key, and made me do the soliciting stunt to every damphool stripe-toter in L. S. IT., for electric-
62 light oil. When I was so blamed tired that a bench and a blanket would feel like a scented couch in Elysium, a bunch of yelling cadet fiends shot me with a canister of jack-ass grins and I felt like a goggleless goose. That gag’s mossy, hut it lags right from taw when a Sub-Fresh’s got a marble in the line. Say, I’m buncoed on this life here all right, all right! Now, on the straight, it ain’t what its spilt out to be. The little soldier ceremonies give me a pain! The little dinky officers make me weary! Give me a section-hand’s job with a tea-cup of joy once and again, and I’ll swap, easy money. It ain’t what a fellow wants to do that counts, but what the Cappen says that goes. A hundred at hard labor over at the other State Pen is swinging with your Daisy in a silk hammock under the shade of the old appletree, compared to a five-year course at this hole. Why, bow’d you like to draw up anchor from your pleasant dreams about 5:00 a. m., when some son-of-a-gun puts the breath through the brass for reveille. Then in less time than Cleopatra could osculate, you’ve got to hike down to let the sport with the long knife know you’re still up to now, prepared to do the correct thing in the contortion line. It’s no betsy-bug cinch to frolic out in the weather before the fog rises, clad in little but climate, when it’s sixteen below, to try to beat Pitz at gymnastics. Then that bugle’s no sweet-baby-bye lullaby that knocks us through the collar for nine months, without even the hope for somebody to die to give us a rest. But Gephronehosephat! that pair of deuces the Sub-Presh is turned over to would make a rhinoceros play to an ant and give a grindstone the stomach-ache. AH the machinery in Prock’s idea factory is clogged up except the algebraic equation one, and he keeps that working at double speed. Stummy’s cupola is hollower than a balloon, but he’s dead onto mathematics with the formula S. P.equals 6 (N. A. D.) 81. Well, he’s up to his job for being the outlandishest, unreasonablest, incorrigi- blest cuss above the scaffold. But the Sub-Fresh ’11 get there just the same. They may have cross godlin ways, may be uglv, onerv, devilish, knockers and law breakers, but they’ll be to the good as sure as Saul favored Solomon. If they don’t pass out of the Sub-Fresh, Frock and Waterfowl will dance on the breeze with grass ropes for partners iji the shuffle. So, w'atch ou t!

SOME EXCITING DAYS.
D e c e m b e r 18.
Dr. Dvob, the famous lecturer and mind changer, appeared in Garig Temple this morning and preached a beautiful sermon from the text in the 25th book of “Epistles”, where “Peter ‘pinted’ a pistol at Paul” which begins, “When I was a child I spake as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.” The Juniors listened with suppressed breathing and drank in every word of the learned divine. They were brought back to Christianity and forgot their anar chistic tendencies of the day previous. Only one heathen held the tenor of his unduly way and seemed not to walk in the path of the righteous.
D e c e m b e r 1 9.
The effect of the lecture is digested and lost. The same tall heretic leader, aided by a few other fanatics, again stir up the wrath of the gods—Dodo and Redo— by their evil machinations; the children of heaven become incensed at tho threats of their gods and begin to drive everything before them in their fury, even unto the lower house called Sub-Fresh. But much dampness is thrown on their spirits at nightfall when the peers of Dodo’s realm refuse to rebel and join the strike. Imprecations and execrations are hurled on the heads of the non-union men, but they hold firm.
D e c e m b e r 2 0 .
This morning, the most learned jurist of the age, appeared before the assem bled strikers and propounded the doctrine of the law and showed them the errors of their ways. That they were getting their full pay, and as they had arrived late in the day, their wage of right should have been cut down. The strikers listened to this worthy man, and wavered slightly in their intention. But the fires were soon replenished by their leaders and the fury burned brighter.
1 2 M.
King Dodo and Prime Minister Redo confer and formulate a strong proclama tion to their subjects: “Ye, by the graciousness of his Royal Highness King Dodo, are granted leave of absence from w'ork with full pay for one wdiole day. I f on the succeeding day ye do not return to your labour, ye shall be fined one pound and one day in my towTer for every hour that ye return not. And further, if ye do not return and see the error of ye ways before the expiration of the 48th hour, ye shall 1C6 be banished from the kingdom and forever barred from the privileges of the realm. Witness my hand and seal this 20th day of December, 1905. D odo, King of all the Realm.”
8 p. M.
The House of Lords after a stormy session again decide to keep out of the strike and to save the kingdom, if possible. Committees are appointed to address the meetings of the other sections. The debates wax fierce and warm in these meet ings. One section of the lower house grows so frantic as to ask the committee from the House of Lords to retire. But much good is done in some of the other sections by showing them the errors of their wav and the harm the strike would entail to themselves and to the realm of Dodo.
D e c e m b e r 2 1 , 12 m .
An air of inquietude and restlessness pervades, the whole kingdom, from King Dodo down to his lowest subject, as they enter the chapel for the announcement of the final decision of the rebellious subjects. When King Dodo, in his smiling way, calls upon the leader of the rebels to rise and give the decision, a great silence per vades the multitude and all listen with bated breath. The answer of the rebel chieftain comes loud and clear: “ We made it a condition of our pledge that unless two-thirds of the strivers in Dodo’s realm agreed to leave this abode of hard labor and low pay, we would not take a longer rest than was prescribed for us by the ‘doctors’ of the realm. The required number have not given their assent and we have decided to take the allotted time, hoping to appease the wrath of the gods by our dutiful submission and fear of the law.” And then a smile lighted the countenance of Dodo that made him look sub lime,— for he thought he had won a victory,— but he was mistaken. The good sense of the corps had triumphed.
167 A FAREWELL TOAST.
We are standing here, old fellows, This time is our last. God grant that in the future, The time won’t go too fast.
We’ve “ boned” and “jacked” together, We are on to all the tricks, But the mere fact that we are here Signifies we’ve made a six.
A six is mighty sacred, And mightj' hard to get, For “ Stummy” ’ 11 make you cuss, And Himes ’11 make you fret.
“ Piggy” isn’t so easy; Atkinson’s on the bum; While A. C. makes us hustle To the beating of the drum.
But, fellows, we’ll forgive ’em, They did it for the best; That’s just what father used to say, As he removed his coat and vest.
Boys, we have been the gaits; We know them from the start; We stand here full of vanity, And think that we are smart.
We have been out late at night, And gotten on a spree, And come home yelling, “ Hoop-la! Have a’snother, s’this on me.”
168 And cussed our State and Faculty, And Commandant and all, And wondered why all things were Walking upside down upon the wall.
Some of us have sworn by moonlight, That we’d be true unto the death; Now, girls, don’t von believe ’em, They were wasting of their breath.
We have rolled the spotted bones When T. D. wasn’t nigher; And if T. D. says we didn’t He’s a most unmitigated— (he’s mistaken).
Some of us played foot-ball, Some helped to swing the bat, While others took great care to see The “ suds” were never flat.
Some were fond of tennis, While others took to running; But most of us were wise enough To know when Mac was coming.
So here’s a health, old friends, To love, friendship, and fight. And may you always have the luck To kiss your love good-night. S. Ct. B., ’ 0 6 .
169 TWO MEN, A GIRL, AND A GAME.
B a t o n R o u g e , L a ., November 3, 1906.
D e a r J o h n : Have returned for my last round at the old place. Not that I know much more, but anyway I feel a dignity rise from my feet and surge up wards over my being. Maybe it is because of my gold laces and bright eagle; or is it, perhaps, a strong remembrance of the beautiful vision that chanced across my path the other night at Mrs. H—’s swell affair ? Say, John, she was the loveliest thing possible— enough to make a man willing to give up his whole education and live in the woods. Medium height, with the prettiest dark hair and brown eyes, soft and commanding, a beautiful complexion and a cheerful and bright expression of what we would call a “jolly good fellow”— all joined in one mass of loveliness made her—well— No doubt you think I am too old a chap, after all my past experiences, to run on after such a w'ill-o’-the-wisp. Well, maybe so. But I am going to write a note to her tonight and ask her if she will go to the game with me, when I hope to feel a pride in our team when they lower Tulane’s colors. Well I could run on all night about that lovely creature, but that bugle is calling me to bed and dreamland. Good-night. Write soon to Your sincere friend, J a m e s B a r k y.
N e w O r l e a n s , L a ., November 4 , 1 9 0 6 .
D e a r e s t M a y : No doubt you think me a fine one for not answering ere this, but I have been so rushed by parties, dances, receptions, etc., that I could not get enough sleep to live. You will pardon me, w'on’t you? You know how it is the first year out. In your last letter you wanted to know if I had met anvone I could love. Well as yet, I can not say. I have met so many fine fellow7s that it would be hard to choose a single one— though I might narrow it down to two. And strange to say, they are both college boys; one from Tulane and the other from L. S. U. Which I like best I don’t know— Harry Beard, of Tulane, is a tall and manly fellow, a veritable Saxon of old, with light hair and the deepest blue eyes. James Barry, of L. S. 17., is of medium height, but fine figure,, with the dark est hair and the most expressive and softest brown eyes imaginable, that seem to melt and cast their mesmeric spell over one. Wait a minute; the postman has just left; maybe there is a letter for me. Well, what do j'ou think, a note from Mr. Beard, asking me to go to the theatre to-night, and one from Mr. Barry who has, by the way, gone back to school, asking to take me to the Tulane-L. S. U. game on the 25th. What a fine, manly handwriting Mr. Barry has. Shall I accept? Mr. Beard will not like it very much. He said something to me about going to the game, but T don’t know what. Anyway T’ll ask him to-night. Well, bye-bye dear. Let me hear from you soon and don’t expose my situation. Your lovingly, M y r ia .
170 L. S. U., November 8, 1906. D e a r J o h n : Just returned from New Orleans. Had to go down on business connected with my iate father’s estate. Everything is settled and I am now master of my own fortune. Of course, 1 dropped in to see Miss Myria. She received me graciously but a little coldly, I thought— but we grew more intimate as we met more. 1 went to see her three times and took her to the theatre thrice in the four days I was down. She must think me a looney, but I couldn’t keep away. And by the way, I got her to go to the game with me, but she would not wear my colors—she did not want to offend Mr. Beard, a Tulane senior who, by the way, is my warmest rival. I met him there one night and he seems to be a fine fellow. Again 1 return to my old barracks quarters with a picture in my mind that will not fade. ] am impatient to see the game come off, that she will give me a gracious smile for victory. You know all the world loves a victor. Maybe I shall then be able to tell her some of the things that rush to my mouth, but are choked back; perhaps tell her that she is the loveliest girl in the world and ask her to share my lot. Hut 1 don’t know. It all depends on the way she receives me. Give my regards to all and remember that I am now Your troubled J i m B .
N e w O r l e a n s , La., November 16, 1906. D e a r e s t M a y : Since our last interchange of letters, the queerest things have happened. Of course everything has been as gay as ever, and the whole time has been filled with nice things doing, but I’ve been just a little troubled with it all. 1 felt as if I would like to come to you and put my head on your shoulder as I used to and tell 3^ou what bothers me. But I couldn’t, so just had to fight it out alone. You are just dying to know what it is all about, so I will tell you. First of all, I accepted Mr. Barry’s invitation to go to the foot-ball game here on the twenty-fifth, and when Mr. Beard came to see me that evening he asked me to go with him again and found out that Mr. Barry would be my escort; he was just perfectly furious; said that I had led him to believe that L cared for him, but here 1 was going to the most important event in the season with a man of whom I knew nothing, while he had asked for the date a long time before. I was amused, but I drew myself up in that dignified way that you have, and asked him when it had become his affair to dictate as to whom I should go with, and all that kind of thing. Well, he cooled down a bit, but he became angry again and left the house in a rage. I thought that he would never speak to me again, but the next day he sent me the most beautiful box of roses; ever since he has been as nice as you please, so perhaps I shall forgive him. May, how can I help it if these foolish boys love me? It’s not my fault, I’m sure. But, child, that’s not all. Mr. Barry came down from L. S. U. to attend to some business connected with his father’s estate (so he said), and took me to the theatre three times in four days and driving every evening. I declare it seems that the more I go with that young man the more I like him. I was a little cold at first, for really I felt a little ashamed of the way I had done Mr. Beard, but that soon passed off. He seems so big and strong, and makes one have so much confidence
171 in him. They say that he is rich, too. If he were to ask me to marry him, I don’t know what I’d say. Perhaps— Anyhow I’m going to the game with him; maybe something will happen. Well, Maysie, 1 must dress for Aunt Annie’s party to-night, so au revoir. I am as ever, Your undecided, M y r ia . L o u is ia n a S t a t e U n iv e r s it y , November 30, 1906. D e a r Jo h n n i e : Well, well, well! The twenty-fifth has come and gone and I am a new man. The corps left Baton Rouge on the morning of the game, to arrive promptly in New Orleans on time, ready to fight, root, parade and raise cain generally for the old gold and purple. You remember that in my last I men tioned to you the fact that I was a little struck with that little girl I met at Mrs. H—’s; how I’d rushed her on my New Orleans trip, and that she promised to go to the game with me. So, about twelve o’clock I rang her up, reminding her of the date, then got a trap, drove out to get her and took her to the game. And, old man, she was just a perfect walking dream, clad in one of those indescribable, daz- zlingly beautiful costumes so incomprehensible to man and so charming to woman. A dress that suited the matchless gloss of her hair and fitted her figure elegantly. It was all so splendid that my breath was taken away. Well, we found our seats and the game began. Of course you know my heart was in my mouth, and I was so busy cheering the boys that I could only steal a glance at her every once in a while, but they quite repaid me for my abstinence. She wouldn’t wear my colors, but when she saw how our boys played—their nerve, grit, prowess and loveliness—she changed and applauded L. S. U for all she was worth. When I’d look at her my heart felt like a big cake of butter, threatening to melt at any moment. There she sat, excited, transported, carried away with the surging scene before her; the breeze playing with the sun-kissed ringlets about her# shell-like ears, the color of blooming peach on her cheek changed to the luscious red of the apple; the eyes, in whose dreamy depths I could have lost myself, turned to shining stars of emotion; the carmine lips, whose only fitting destiny was to kiss, opening and closing in excitement to let through the sweetest breath to bless me with its fragrance; the silvery notes of her voice beat on my soul like the melodies of a harpsichord inspired by the touch of an angel’s hand. And when the pig-skin was carried across the line and the victory was ours, the little woman took my L. S. U. pennant and waved it for pure jov, ecstacy and rapture. Then I felt that perhaps my rival was vanquished as his team had been, and that possibly I could be victorious in the field of love, as the team was on the gridiron. Well, after the game, instead of coming back immediately to her home, we went for a long drive in the .country. Coming back in the soft, late twilight I took her hand and whispered to her the sweet, sweet story, as old as humanity, yet ne,w as the flitting hours. Just as the last, lingering rays of light followed the departed day I lifted her in my arms and pressed on her lips, as fresh and as pure as a rose-bud, the bethrothal kiss. Say, old fellow, I’m as happy as a bird; have the promise of the best, nicest, and prettiest little girl in the world to be my wife, and am well fixed and young. So you see I’m decidedly open for congratulations. Tell all the follows at home of my good luck, as I’m too full of joy to write to everyone. Your lucky J in B a r r y . 172 IF.
If I were the wind, dear, and j'ou were a rose Abloom in some old-fashioned garden, at night I would steal to your lattice and gather you close, And swing you and sing you to softest repose— Oh, wonderful flower o f wondrous delight! I f I were the wind and you were a rose.
If you were a star, dear, and 1 were the sea, The song of 1113' love would go ringing apace, When the silver-soft twilight had brought you to me, (No matter how far or how faint you might be), Through infinite silence and infinite space. If you were a star and I were the sea.
If you were the moon, dear, and I were the sun, And the day’s weary lengtli lay between us, at least 1 would write my heart’s message when evening was done, Tn flame and in fire and splendor of tone, To thrill you with rapture alone in your east. If you were the moon an 1 I were the sun.
But I am just I, dear, and you are just you, And humble and silent I yield to Love’s sway; Like the wind and the sea and the sun I would woo In the language of passion, so vibrant, so true; But Sweetheart, “ I love you!” is all 1 can say, Since 1 am just I, and you are just vou! E. B.
173 A P A R T IN G , As we sit and watch the last evenings fade into the night, and the shadows fall upon the tall white columns of the old barracks, our hearts and souls rush to our mouths and try to express their reg;ret. At last we must leave. Leave these dear old barracks, entwined with lasting memories of four long years; leave the beloved campus, o’er which we have now shouted ourselves hoarse, and now returned from with drooping heads but unconquercd spirit; the class-rooms and the professors (so dearly loved now that we are finished with them); leave these scenes of many a heart-ache and puzzled brain and sometimes of pleasure. Where we tried to enter into our beings Sub-Fresh. Algebra, Latin phrases, Greek blocks, and bits of Psychology. But as we cast a look at the Commandant’s office, memories of other times and places step in to mar the beautiful scene, and we slowly but surely throw off a little regret, and an electric current of freedom surges over our beings, and our faces are lighted with celestial smiles. For us no more the early bugle shall blow, Nor Commandant report and McCrory score. No O. D. duty to keep us up all night, Or Mess Hall fare, much too light. Our only regret will ever be, To miss the logic of our beloved T. I). And yet another thought steals o’er me; as if fro mafar I hear the echoes of that last “Retreat,” and then a sadness as if of something lost from my life creeps over me and my eyes fill with tears. Yes, the parting is not so sweet as I expected and much more of regret than 1 imagined. No more shall 1 be a live member of that moving, united family of four hundred spirited boys. Nowhere in life shall I find such a number of men moved by the same impulses and following the same high ideals of honorable men. No more box parties after taps—the sweetest and most palatable eatables in the world (perhaps because of difficulties). No more ex citement of the chase after dark—the chase up the dark streets of Baton Rouge; no more Freshies to make feel the true touch of high-life; and last but not least, no more to meet such a set of high-minded and noble men, and to drink from their fountains of knowledge the electric waters of our present being. Yes, we leave 3'ou, old beloved University, but as the poet of old, we “cast a long and lingering look behind,” and shall ever feel for you a filial love that we hope will redound to your glory and advancement. THE RUBAIYAT OF A SUB-FRESHMAN.
Wake! For a sound of revelry by night Strikes terror to your soul, and on your sight There looms Tobaseo. Ah, the burning shame To make your antics subject for delight!
Each Morn the Mess Hall Biscuits bring, they say: Where are the Biscuits, then, of Yesterday? And pointing to your weary breast, they cry: “Behold their refuge—there they mean to stay!”
Some here are plunged in Frenzied Finance; some Sigh for the distant cheek which is to come; Ah, take the Cash and let the Credit go, Nor heed the grumbling of a busted bum.
So, dear old Roommate, fill the Cup that clears To-day of past Regrets and future Fears: To-morrow! Why to-morrow I maj' be Confined for lapping up too many beers.
For he to-day who works and fumes and crams, To-morrow numbers with the sorry clams, To whom a Dodo from the Darkness cries: “Fools! you have failed again in your Exams.!”
Into this University, not knowing The ways of Seniors, many come an l going Along the way all Freshies go, soon learn To keep their mouths shut and to cut out blowing.
What, without asking, hither hurried Whence,? And, without asking. Whither hurried hence! Ah, would that T could find the lobster who Long, long ago this hazing did commence!
For “Is” and “Is-not” Ride and Line beget, And “Up-and-down” bv Logic’s governed, \yet Of all that one should care to fathom, I Was never deep in anything but— Debt.
And when T, too, shall pass along the line Beyond the college pale, old friends of mine Some night when gathered ’round a festive board Where I made One—turn down an empty stein! E. B. 175 EASY READINGS FROM THE “UNIVERSITY PRIMER.”

178 iA FIRST NIGHT.
Taps found the aspirant for a uniform and the title, “ Mama’s Little Soldier Boy/’ tucked away under piles of blankets and bedding. The weather was ideal. It was in September, and as yet no trace of winter had appeared to disperse the warm rays of the sun. The temperature registered 84 that night, and the poor fellow was so secure under those blankets.that he trembled with joy (or was it a peculiar kind of bone chill?) He lay awake for quite a time dreading to hear the footsteps of the night-patrol, but none came, and he gradually drifted off into the land of slumber and dreamed of home and mother. He was sitting at the table and was just about to devour a delicate piece of fowl, when his dream was rudely broken in upon by a wild glare of fire and a dash of water in his face as soon as the light opened his eyes; again a pulling at his toes, and then someone trying to make his nose join his face; a whirlwind in a bowl, and an ascent in a blanket until he thought he would touch heaven and bounce back; placed upon the table with fresh- meat seeking boys about him and told to make a bow and sing. Straightening up very quickly at the touch of the straps and brushes, and singing in a basso-contralto voice, “ Home, Home, Ain’t Nothing Like This,” until the crowd, entranced by his sweet singing, passed out to make the acquaintance of some more pleasing songster. And thus the visions came and went, until from sheer exhaustion the trembling Fresh lost sensibility and feeling and drifted off into a realm where everything was calm and quiet, and no fiends in human shapes danced about his pleasant couch or tried to make high dives into his stomach; where commandants looked pleasant and presidents “ smiled” ; where military formations were not known, and milk and chicken always stared him in the face. He had reached the zenith, and the time had likewise reached six, and the soft notes of Reveille brought him once more back to the life and pleasures of the beloved barracks, and he softly said his prayers (but they were strange ones), and so passed on to glory to join that long line of strenuous cadets and noble and honored men.
179 A BROKEN ARROW.
A man and a girl, and the god of love Went out one day in the spring, And the love god laughed A shameless laugh, as he fitted an arrow to string.
For he knew the ways of maids and men, So he smiled as he danced away, For he knew the mischief that he had done Would not be undone in a day.
She was merely a girl, a beautiful girl, But she had been taught as a child That man was only a new sort of toy, To be smiled at, enticed and beguiled.
Her red lips curled in a knowing smile, As she sized up the man with a look. She had fished for trout, and was wondering how He would act when he felt the hook.
The man gazed on the sunset of gold, Then noticed her downcast eye; And he thought a thought, which seemed to bring From the depths of his heart, a sigh.
But this man was wise in the ways of the wrorld, And he smiled as he began to smoke. “ My dear,” he said, “ ’twas the arrow, instead Of my tender heart, that broke.” S. G. B., ’06. 180 BOON COMPANIONS.

184 MEDITATIONS OF AN ALUMNUS.
I stood on the campus at midnight, As the clocks were striking the hour, And the moon rose in the heavens Above the high church-tower. I saw her brilliant reflection, As if of burnished silver, Like a brilliant diamond falling, And sinking into the river. And far in the hazy past, On that beautiful night in June, I wondered how many great men Had here gazed upon the moon. Along the avenue of oaks, The still, quiet shadows lay, And the gentle zephyr from the west Seemed to lift and bear them away. As I gazed upon those waters, Gliding smoothly by for years, A flood of thoughts came o’er me That filled my eyes with tears. How often, oh, how often, In the days that had gone by, I .had stood on this hallowed ground And gazed on the scene and sky. How often, oh, how often, I had wished the outgoing train Would bear me away in the baggage coach, Back to my home again. For my heart was sad and heavy, And my soul was full of care, But I know that the happy days are gone, And will ne’er again appear. But now my heart is happy; My soul from sadness is free, For the happy golden age I know Old L. S. TJ. soon will see. May future’s kindest smiles Wreathe laurels for her name; May love of God and honor Perpetuate her fame. 185 ROSTER OF SENIOR CLASS.
The Senior Class of 1906 Is renowned for its name, Gained in athletics, etc., And in the halls of fame.
To those who know them, And of their deeds so bold, Can remember the time and night They spun them in the bowl.
It is a class of jolly fellows; To the “keg” they are not unknown, For many’s the night they’ve been together, Absorbing the “juice of the corn.”
As Freshmen they began, At the L. S. U .; Some have made the class, And some have fallen through.
Eight at their head is Quereau, F. C., The President so ta ll; Then next in line is Perrault, L., The concern of us all.
And now 1 see Lee, J. G., The good looking man : And by his side is White, W. S., Also of that clan.
Who is this but little Brent, The boy of tall dimensions, For to graduate with the Class Seems to be his least intentions.
And now I see Feitel, N. H .; He’s so dumpy and chunky it’s alarming; . But there’s Nelson, E. E., Whose height is simply charming.
186 Next in line is Catlett, Willie, Striving hard to pass; On coffee he is a connoisseur, For he drinks it by the glass.
And now there’s T. Fay, Whose looks are fast improving; Then I see Doughert}', M., Who still needs some reproving.
Also they say of Hard}7, J., To study medicine is his goal; It may be true for he has begun With heart and mind and soul.
And here I see Scarborough, D. C., The “pink” headed man; Also Knox and Corley, Prominent members of that jolly band.
There’s Tanner, Currie, Yoorhies, and Hancock, All of “Hobo” fame, Who, one and all, will impress you As striving for a name.
And then T see Key, H. E., The man of “Hoyt’s Aroma,” Who to all is known will win a home Only when the girl is in a coma.
Last, but not least, is Tillery, K. G. The man who does not “flunk.” Then to my vision comes Reymond, R. P., The boy who doesn’t get drunk.
Next in line is Slabotski, H., A very bold athlete, The most impressive part about him Being his very small feet.
Then there is Rougeou, Ichy; He is as thin as he is tall,
187 Who has a voice that thunders, And is enough to scare us all.
And there is Green, II. L., A man who knows his "biz,” While next by his side is Hyde, Who drinks nothing but “phiz.”
Now I hear Tiebout, G. L., A boy who is full of fun, And is eternally striving to complete Some other man’s “pun.”
Ah! There is Lieutenant Madere, The man at whom the girls all stare; And then I see Osborn, M. G., Who is also good looking, they all declare.

190 THE BEST OF THE SEASON.
Among the jokes handed in in competition for the prizes offered by the G d m b o Board, was a copy of the Special Edition of the Olive and Blue just after the foot ball game in New Orleans on November 25, 1905. The Board unanimously awarded this joke the prize.
A Typical Sophomoric Version of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”
Mary possessed a diminutive specimen of the agnian genus, the immaculate ness of w'hose flocculence was as consummate as that of the flaccid congelations of aqueous fluidity. And how'ever extended might be the peregrinations of said speci men of feminine delectableness, the afore-mentioned inexorable sample of quad- rupedian contumacy w'ould inevitably accompany her.
191 Mary had a little kid, And he was full of fight, And everything that youngster did She thought was out of sight. She took him to the kindergarten, There to learn the rule—
ST. B.—There’s nothing more to write; He busted up the school.
“I don’t agree with you/’ said the Sophomore, who was arguing with a pretty girl. “I hardly expected it,” replied the fair one, sweetly, “Lobsters never do!”
Old Mother Hubbard She went out and rubbered, And what do you think she did spy? Enjoying a scrub In a porcelain tub, Was a skinny young Preshie. (Oh, my!)
Old Mother Hubbard, She came in and blubbered, And blushed to the roots of her hair; “I sought for a bone/’ She observed, “but I own The one I discovered was bare!”
192 “ Come on boys!” said one hair to another which was vainly trying to make room for itself to grow in Col. Prescott’s beard. “ There’s plenty of room at the top.” What is the neck? The neck is that part of the bottle which you break when you can’t get the cork out. In this wide world of w^oe and wit, A man must have a little grit; His motto must be push and go, Or else he’ll get there:—nit. Love: The only fire against which there is no insurance. Love: A little sighing, a little crying, a little dying, and a deal of lying. He who loves not wine, women or song, Remains a fool his whole life long. JUST IMAGINE— T. D. on a pledge. Scott with his hair clipped. Prescott at a street fair. A. C. walking tours. Stumberg a bachelor. Atkinson under a microscope. Sanders shooting craps. Bennett loafing. Westbrook married. Himes on Broadway. TTerget and Barclay in a foot-race.

193 AN EXACT COPY OF A SELF-EXPLANATORY EXPLANATION.
L o u is ia n a S t a t e U n iv e r s it y , April 26, 1906.
The Commandant of Cadets. S i r : With reference to the report, “Breaking in door of wash-house on the night of the 20th,” I have the honor to state that the report is correct. I had brought a pair of trousers there to be pressed by the “lady” in charge, and when I went for them on that night she wras not at home, and the house wTas closed up. So there was nothing left for me to do but to get in some way and get my trousers, as I had an engagement for the German, and that being my first German and first engagement wdth the lady, I should indeed have felt depressed in not having ap peared. I simply considered breaking in the wash-house a business proposition and was, and am, willing to pay any damage w'hich I did. Therefore it doesn’t seem to me that I should be reported in such a case. Very respectfully, S . J. H y d e , Cadet Captain Co. “C.”
F ir s t E n d o r s e m e n t , H eadquarters C o r p s o f C a d e t s , April 30, 1906. Respectfully referred to Cadet Hyde for remarks. A keen sympathy is felt for Cadet Captain Hyde under the circumstances. Therefore this report will be removed when his explanation is returned with the endorsement that he has settled with Mr. Holmes for the damage done. However, Cadet Hyde failed to state that the trousers were eventually foundoutside. A. C . R ea d , Captain 12th Infantry, U. S. A., Commandant.

198 A REVIEW OF THE MOST POPULAR BOOKS OF THE YEAR.
“The Art of Suppressing Student Insurrections,” by Thomas Duckett Boyd, N. A. D. A masterly effort by a great scholar. The practical value of this work was demonstrated in the recent troubles at the Louisiana State University, in which the students were pacified and resumed their duties. “Silence: An Art,” by the world-renowned essayist, Karl Stumberg, P. C. (Leipzig). “When Love Commands,” a romance bv Edward L. Scott. Probably in no other work does the author show such versatility of style and complete command of the subject. “Correct Styles for Men’s Dress,” by Julian E. Barclay. The man who fails to read this valuable work is neglecting his duty to society. “The Quarter.” A story of foot-ball told in a charming manner by that great athlete, Frock T. Sanders. “The Military Life.” A scientific treatise on the-subject by that great tactician, Julian Carr Hardy. This work discloses to the world many new methods in the art of warfare, and should be carefully perused by every military man. “The Track: Its Beneficial Effect on Youth.” Told in a charming manner by that famous sprinter, Tubby Stug Atkinson. It should be in the library of every athlete. “Scientific Methods in Business.” A treatise on private financiering by the Hon. Charles H. Stumberg, K. B. S. “A Commentary on the Lord’s Prayer,” by Eugene W. Kerr, D.T). This work has received praise from every quarter, of the Christian world. “How to Make Student Enterprises Profitable.” An exhaustive treatise on the sub ject by Scarborough and Bed Knox, members of American Association for the Promotion of Graft.

Slowly and mournfully, The shrill trumpet’s sound Begins to echo o’er The country ’round and ’round.
Cover over the lire, Turn off the light; Work for to-morrow, Rest for to-night.
Darkness at the windows, Smouldering is the fire, Sounds are lost in silence, All footsteps retire.
No voices in the rooms, All sounds are gone; Sleep, and sweet dreams Of the far-away home.
