Keep the Home-Fires Burning

They were summoned from the hill-side,

They were called in from the glen,. And the country found them ready

At the stirring call for men. Let no tears add to their hardship,

As the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is breaking,

Make it sing this cheery song.

Refrain :

Keep the home-fires burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away

They dream of home ; There's a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining; Turn the dark cloud inside out,

Till the boys come home.

Over seas there came a pleading,

"Help a nation in distress;" And we gave our glorious laddies —

Honor made us do no less. For no gallant Son of Freedom

To a tyrant's yoke should bend, And a noble heart must answer

To the sacred call of "Friend." Refrain :

Dedication

Just a token of loving remembrance

To those students of I. S. N. U., Who now are our soldiers and sailors,

And are fighting for me and for you.

Once they labored and struggled for knowledge,

For Democracy now they must fight ; They'll give up their lives there if need be,

For the great cause of Freedom and Right.

To these men whom we love so, and honor,

We dedicate this book just to show The "home fires" are really kept burning,

And each heart is reflecting the glow.

Sherman Hunt : Our Veteran Janitor

Mr. Hunt came to the I. S. N. U. in the year 1892 and from that time to the present he has served the in- stitution in a noteworthy manner. Among the qualities which have made him a favorite among faculty members and students alike, perhaps the greatest are his agreeable and obliging disposition, and his happy, cheerful temperament. He always has been ready to help in any way possible to bring success to the un- dertakings and enterprises of the school. "With ever busy mop, broom and pan, he has accomplished much along the lines of sanitation and the mechanical adjustment of school af- fairs. It is with great regret that faculty and students mark this the last year of Mr. Hunt's service in our school.

IN MEMORIAM

Arthur W. Niedermeyer of Decatur, Illinois, died January 22, 1918, at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, where he was stationed in the avia- tion corps. His death was caused by pneumonia. Mr. Niedermeyer attended I. S. N. U. several summer terms. At the time he enlisted he was superin- tendent of schools at Gibson City, Illinois, having successfully served in the same capacity at Atwood, and at Greenville.

Earl Hart died of pneumonia in February, 1918, at Camp Hancock, Georgia. He had been a student at I. S. N. U. during the year 1912-1913. Mr. Hart had taught school one year, but at the time of his enlistment he was staying at home.

Lieutenant Louis Eddy Davis of Bloomington, Illinois, died May 10, 1918, from injuries sustained in an aeroplane accident near Ellington Field, Texas. He had volunteered within a few weeks after the declaration of war by this country, and entered the first officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan. At his own request he was transferred to the aviation corps; he graduated from the ground school at the University of Texas, December 22, 1917. Lieu- tenant Davis received part of his education at I. S. N. U. of which his great- grandfather, Jesse Fell, was the founder.

OUR BOYS

To you who from our midst have gone,

To you, great hearts, brave men, and strong,

Who heard the call that Freedom gave,

To hasten forth her sons to save

From crushing power of tyrant king ;

To you, Our Boys, we tribute bring.

To you whose vision sees afar A world uncursed by Demon, War, Who gladly plunge into the strife Staking your all, your love, your life, That universal peace may ring; To you, brave boys, we tribute bring.

To you who stand for common right, Against the awful power of might; Who hold aloft, where all may see, The naming torch, World Liberty, And to the breeze her streamers fling; To you, Our Boys, we tribute bring.

PRESIDENT FELMLEY'S ADDRESS AT DEDICATION OF I. S. N. U.

SERVICE FLAG

Through all the ages the stars have looked down from the serene depths of the heavens to strengthen the faith of the sons of men. In all literature and among all peoples they have been the symbols of purity and singleness of purpose, of hope and aspiration, of excellence and high endeavor, of liberty and freedom. The stars of the American flag fitly represent the free and in- dependent states bound together in the indissoluble union of a common purpose.

As we pass along the street and see the service flag in the window, we feel at once its significance— a man from this house is at the front in the service of his country- It is a token that he heard the nation's call. It is a token that some mother is fervently praying for his return, praying, at all events, that he shall discharge his duties like a man. And if it comes to him to give the last full measure of devotion, her heart may be wrung with anguish, but her bosom will swell with pride at the thought of the costly sacrifice that she has laid upon the altar of her country.

So this school, this alma mater, this cherishing mother today unfurls this flag on which stands as stars the roll of her honored sons and daughters who have heard the call to duty. They have gone forth to fight our battles ; they have placed at their country's service youth with its hopes and pros- pects, health with its promise of future years, ambition with its lure, love with its charm, its tenderness, and devotion. All the wine of life seemed theirs, yet they have pushed aside the brimming cup at the summons of pa- triotic duty. They have risked all; they may lose all. It is this thought that sobers us. Yet what better epitaph can be placed upon any one 's resting place than — "Having served well his generation he has gone to his reward." In this great crisis what other service so complete, so splendid?

And for those who return, as most of them will, life will have a fuller and richer meaning. To most of us, freedom is a matter of course. We read in our histories of the struggles it cost our forefathers to secure it and main- tain it against tyrant king or foreign oppressor, but these stories rarely fire our imagination. That we fail to value rightly these priceless principles of liberty is shown by the careless way in which we ourselves have violated them in dealing with what we consider inferior peoples. But to our boys who have stood in the trenches with shells bursting all about them, who have faced the machine-gun volley as they charged over the top, who have seen the ground strewn with their wounded and dying comrades in this mighty struggle for freedom, liberty acquires a new meaning. We value the things that cost us dear. We may confidently expect after this war is over upon this continent a new birth of freedom, purged of its dross, its selfishness, its injustice, in these sacrificial fires.

These men have gone to fight for our country. What is this United States in which we so proudly claim citizenship? Is it 3,000,000 square miles of territory and 100,000,000 prosperous people? Yes, and more. The republic is a conception of manhood, it is a system of society, a scheme of life, a plan of freedom, a state of mind, an ideal that every human being shall have the largest opportunity for developing the best that is in him and that noth- ing shall be put in the way of that development. It was for this doctrine, the doctrine that all men are by nature free and equal, that the right of life, to liberty, and to achieve happiness are inalienable that our fathers established this nation. This we have not forgotten and must never forget, It is to make sure that this ideal shall not perish that we have entered the war. High as the toll may be in life and treasure, we shall be better for standing where we have always stood, whatever the cost.

Observers on the battle line testify to the deep religious conviction that pervades the allied armies. It may not be religion in its conventional forms. It may be found in rough and profane men with words of cursing upon their lips. But the sobering' conviction is there, the conviction that armies are but instruments to work the will of God; that our cause is His cause; that to fight for human liberty, for lasting peace, for the rights of oppressed peo- ples, for the opportunity for all men to have life more abundantly, is to fight with the stars in their courses.

For this a Holy "War. Never since the old crusaders set out to rescue the Holy sepulchre from the polluting presence of the Moslem has any nation en- tered into war with higher or holier purpose.

We are a peace-loving people. We know the horrors of war. We know its cost in the lives of men, the tears of women, the stunted lives of half- starved children. We know that war corrupts our morals, lowers our ideals, destroys all the gains that the patient years of peace build up. We know that it takes its toll of our best blood and weakens the national stock. We are not blinded by the glitter of war, by the glory of victory. We are not moved by lust of conquest nor by prospect of commercial gain. We are not fired by the hatred of any other people merely because they are alien. But we have seen a nation for many years building war ships, casting cannon, piling up munitions of war, drilling its armies, creating a mighty military organiza- tion whose only rational and adequate purpose could be to despoil other nations, to destroy their commerce, and murder their citizens. We have seen this nation refuse to sign peace treaties or enter into international agreements at The Hague. We have seen the scholars of this nation develop a doctrine that fighting power is the goal of national progress, that national health re- quires national expansion at the expense of weaker nations, that the survival of weaker peoples retards the development of the human race, in short, that might makes right. We have seen this nation set her armies in motion to accomplish this infamous program. It is as if Satan himself plotting the ruin of this fair world, had found in this nation the apt instrument of his

64

INDEX <* 1918

hellish purpose. We have seen it overrun a little nation whose neutrality it had by solemn treaty pledged itself to protect. We have seen this power destroying the cities of its victim, laying waste her fair fields, slaughtering her peaceful inhabitants, outraging her women, deporting her working popu- lation. We have seen this power put aside all restraints of war and human- ity and use its submarines to sink every ship approaching the shores of the belligerent nations. Vessels of every kind whatever their flag, their char- acter, their cargo, their destination, their errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents. Even hospital ships, and ships carrying relief to the sorely-stricken people of Belgium have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or principle.

From these barbarities we could derive but one conclusion : That this nation proposed to carry out the frightful doctrines of its philosophers and at any cost to subjugate the world. The challenge is to all mankind. For us there was but one choice, and we have made it. We have highly resolved that this ruthless barbarity shall be stopped and stopped forever, that the principle of self-government for which our republic stands shall be vindicated and made secure for the salvation of the nations. With our lives and our for- tunes we shall prove to the world the great faith to which we were born. Our flag shall wear a new luster ; a new glory shall shine in the face of our people.

In this holy cause, our allies have fought most gallantly. We see France bleeding at every pore, Russia paralyzed by internal dissensions, Britain and her colonies resisting doggedly, their sons by the hundreds of thousands sleep- ing under the sod of the fields upon which they fought.

A Canadian soldier, now dead, Colonel John MacRae, calls to us from his resting place in the fields of Flanders in the finest bit of verse the War has produced :

"In Flanders fields the poppies grow Between the crosses row on row That mark our place, and in the sky , The larks still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amidst the guns below — ■ We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you from failing hands we throw The Torch — be yours to hold it high ! If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields."

65

INDEX J* 1918

,So America must now take her part of the burden. Hating war as she does, she must fight as she never fought before — every nerve strained, all her resources called out, every man, every woman, and every child doing his very best. Even so the road will be long and hard, and the heart sick with hope deferred.

In these exercises we dedicate this service flag to our boys and girls in the army and navy and in the hospital service to express our appreciation of their devotion, our pride in what they have done, our satisfaction in the fact that they are ours, and that some measure of the credit that is theirs may reflect upon us. But this flag as it hangs before us will fall far short of its highest value, if it does not daily remind us that this is not merely a war of the army and navy of the United States. It is a war of the Ameri- can people. It is a war, too, against a resourceful, vigilant, and powerful foe, a war that can be won only by a hard fight, by a united people, and by dint of great sacrifices.

Our soldier boys have taken an oath of allegiance and given solemn pledge of service. Shall not we who remain at home give the same pledge of loyalty, the same measure of unstinted service? We are not to serve in the trenches or behind the guns; it is for us to Work, to save, and to give, that the men at the front shall lack no means that can protect their lives, that can relieve their sufferings, that can strengthen their arms, that can fortify their courage and their resolution.

In dedicating this flag let us dedicate ourselves, our energies, our re- sources, our every endeavor to this mighty conflict for our country, our lib- erties, and the rights of Man.

STUDENTS' FRIENDSHIP WAR FUND CAMPAIGN

During the month of November, 1917, the I. S. N. U. demonstrated its patriotism by taking a very active part in the Students' Friendship War Fund Campaign. This was a movement to raise one million dollars from the students and faculty members of the colleges of the United States to be dedicated to war service work: seventy percent to the war work of the Y. M. C. A. in the cantonments and prison camps, twenty percent to the Y. W. C. A. War Council Fund, and ten percent to the emergency war needs of the World Student Chris- tian Federation.

The cause was presented in general exercises by Dr. R, E. Hieronymus of the Extension Department of the University of Illinois, Miss Atkin, Mr. Schroeder, and others. Miss Patterson made an appeal through a beautiful original poem; the poster committee, under the direction of Miss Fuqua and Miss Sheldon, did very clever work ; Mr. Linkins aroused great interest through his ingenious device of "George" and the ladder, which announced the progress of the campaign; Mr. Lathrop served most faithfully as treasurer; and the soliciting committee, by its thorough work, brought final success.

The amounts collected and sent to the national treasurer, Francis S. Phraner, were as follows:

Faculty $ 672.25

Students 746.85

High School 166.50

School Organizations 11.50

Total $1584.10

The school manifested a wonderful spirit of co-operation from first to last. It felt the challenge of a great need and responded heroically.

In the country at large the original goal of one million dollars was largely oversubscribed. Thus the Students' Friendship War Fund stands as the largest contribution ever made for any cause by students and faculty members of the United States.

DEAN MANCHESTER WRITES THE BOYS

Normal, Illinois, Monday, March 18, 1918.

To the I. S. N. U. Boys in Service :

Dear Boys — Boys in the camps, boys on the deep, boys in once Merrie England, boys in the trenches of France, wherever you are, two or three hundred of you, Dear Boys, this greeting from the Old School to you, to each and every

one of you.

Come back to us for an hour. Ah, here you are, in khaki and blue, back again in your old seats at general exercise time.

The bells have rung. Hustling like chickens before an approaching thunder shower, are the belated stragglers. The whispering is subsiding, even back of me where Miss Barton and Miss Colby sit. Perilously seated on the edge of his chair, over his glasses Mr. Holmes expectantly watches Mr. Westhoff's stick. All of this indicates that the singing is about to begin.

Do you see the big flag hanging in front? and, with a little imagination, the service flag with over 200 stars soon to be placed in the balcony to the front and your right? They keep us reminded of you. Do you miss some familiar faces on the platform ? McGill is farming a considerable portion of Missouri ; Madden is farm advisor for Sangamon County; Miss Lummis is studying in Columbia; Miss Swainson teaching in the Los Angeles normal, and Miss Stark at DeKalb ; Eunice Blackburn is at the University of Chicago ; Miss Wright at Columbia ; Winfielcl Scott at the University of Illinois ; Miss Nind is in Michi- gan ; Miss Coith has a good position teaching in North Carolina. You see that Miss Robb occupies Miss Stark's chair. Don't you think McDougle looks fine in his new uniform? He's aero instructor now, and, in your honor, is over from Champaign for the day. That is Denman of the class of '13 in his place. Miss Dole is in high school in Evanston. No, no, that isn't Hattie Lewis, it is Mrs. (Hattie Lewis) Chester Lay, teaching for Miss Davis, who has been loaned to the State Superintendent for the year.

Well, what shall we sing ? What indeed but ' ' America, ' ' the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," the "Star Spangled Banner"? And we'll not forget the "Marseillaise," but no "Wacht am Rhein" this year. Since you are here we shall take time for the school song, which you will find on the inset opposite page 198. This song, you remember, was written by Henry B. Norton, who gradu- ated in the class of '61. Norton was one of the most brilliant students ever m this institution. The class of '61 was the second class to graduate, for the school opened on the morning of October 5, 1857, in Major's Hall, Bloomington, upon which occasion there were present nineteen students, President Hovey, and his assistant, Ira Moore.

Where are the rest of the boys, you ask? Where, to be sure. Seventy- seven enrolled last term and eleven of them left. If this thing keeps on there will be so many girls to each boy that it will either spoil a boy or scare him to death to come here — which depends upon his temperament.

69

INDEX <$ 1918

Now for the notices. Miss Colby announces that there will be a Red Cross benefit at a certain time and place; Miss Atkin that the I. S. N. U. students' friendship fund has climbed Mr. Linkin's ladder and finally reached a total of $1564.85 ; Miss Thomasma, that the pledge to eat no candy may be signed in the north hall ; Mr. Howe, that the Rev. Dwight Hillis will speak upon German atrocities at Bloomington, etc. ; Miss Owen wishes to know if any student knows of any other soldier who would like one of those kits furnished by the Faculty Woman's Club. Mr. Ridgley announces the dedication of the service flag and the address by President Felmley; Mr. Peterson, that he is supplied with smile- age books for sale ; Miss Penstone, that Videttes for the soldier boys may be left in the main office. Miss Milner 's written communication, with only a few relapses from the indicative to her old imperative mood, concerns missing addresses, letters from the boys, magazines for them. Miss Cooper, Mr. Adams, and Mr. Schroeder— the last no longer a German defender— make pertinent announce- ments.

I see you boys gazing over toward section two and rubbing your eyes. No, you are not dreaming, and it is no optical illusion. The girls are knitting, the ladies of the faculty are knitting, knitting right through general exercises- knitting, knitting, knitting to the tune of the ' ' Star Spangled Banner. ' ' What but a world war could have brought them back to the practice of their great-grand- mothers ?

The speech for the day chances to be a happy medley by the President. I catch myself wondering how much of his good nature is due to his outing last week, when I saw him in slouch hat, blouse, and overalls, on the engine of a log train down in southeastern Missouri. If he could only smoke a pipe he would pass for a typical Missourian. The barest outline of the speech must suffice :

1. Certain letters here call for teachers; others for women to fill govern- ment positions. If you must leave school see me about them. But you should not leave school unless you have to. Our school must not deteriorate. When our boys return they must have a country worth returning to.

2. The blanks to be filled out by the seniors and others who wish to teach next year may be found in the office. Do not be afraid to ask what you are worth. Nobody who has had two years in a normal school on top of a high- school education ought to teach next year for less than $ 66.66666 a month.

3. The time we, missed for lack of coal is now made up. Next Monday will be both calendar and school Monday. The days are back as the Lord arranged them.

4. We must congratulate our basketball boys and their coaches, Mr. Russell and Mr. James. To have won second place both in the minor college and in the high school tournament is creditable.

5. It is our duty to conserve food and coal. The substitutes are palatable and wholesome. If you open your windows at nights— as you should— close the registers.

Do you notice, boys, that it is all about war! I sometimes wonder if we do not hear more about the war than some of you may. Even simplified spelling has been laid on the shelf, and etymology and taxation have no chance at all.

The exercises are over, excepting that Mr. Westhoff's classes are to sing "Keep the Home Fires Burning." You say it looks good to see a bunch of girls again? Perhaps you look good to them, too. Do I think the skirts are shorter? Well, no, but possibly narrower. You know raw cotton is 25-30 cents a pound. But still BD=TS (the bottom of the dress reaches the top of the shoes). The senior girls have voted to graduate in skirts and shirt waists— all

on account of the war.

No, the girls do not usually sing as they pass out. This is extraordinary, that they have struck up "Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,',' "We Are Going to Pay Our Debt to You." That is in your honor. Well, if there isn't another, ' ' Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile, Smile ! "

Yesterday, boys, in a St. Louis paper I saw a picture— the first received it was said in America— of a line of our men who had been wounded or crippled. It was enough to make an old man's blood boil to think that any American boy may be crippled or killed just because that infernal Kaiser wants more power. But we are going to trust that you will all come back to us, and the general exercises we will have then shall make any exercises we have ever had at the Old School seem like nothing at all.

But the Vidette didn't ask me to fill an entire issue. So, good-bye. That means, you know, God be with you. Each of you owes me a letter now.

Good-bye,

0. L. Manchester.

THE CALL OF FRANCE

The singing rivers of La Belle France,

That ran to the rolling sea, Are the weeping rivers of martyred France,

For never a wave is free From the tears of the millions that bear a cross

Of sorrow and death and pain; Hushed is the laughter that rang so loud,

And saddened the gay refrain.

0 Sister Spirit of suffering France,

America hears your call; We have rallied the strength of a mighty land

To lift the war cloud's pall; And when the singing rivers of France,

Shall victory's boast proclaim, The Sister Spirit of France set free,

Will bless America's name.

WAR SERVICE AT I. S. N. U.

While 316 of the sons and daughters of I. S. N. U. have gone forth into active service for their country, those remaining behind have tried to do their bit and ' ' keep the home fires burning. ' '

Last November a War Service Committee, consisting of Prof. D. C. Ridgley, Dean Manchester, and Misses Milner, Owen, and Penstone, was appointed by Pres. Felmley to prepare a roster of the men and women in service. By means of many inquiries, much writing, and diligent investigation, the com- mittee had, within a month, compiled a roster containing 165 names and ad- dresses. After Christmas the committee began the work of sending a Vidette each week to every man and woman in the country's service. This work was put in Miss Penstone 's charge. She has been assisted by a faithful, efficient stu- dent committee, consisting in the winter term of Misses Bertha Collins and Esther Jackson, and Messrs. McConnell and Canopy, and in the spring term of Misses Scheffler and Martins, and Mr. McConnell. Each week over 200 Videttes have been wrapped and addressed. No extra Videttes have been printed, for the students have willingly handed in their papers for the sake of the boys in the far away camps. That the papers are appreciated and eagerly read by others as well as by our own lads is the testimony from camps at home and abroad.

The War Service Committee also arranged for the purchase and dedi- cation of the large service flag which at present bears 298 stars.

At Christmas time the Faculty Woman's Club, through a committee of which Miss Owen was chairman, prepared a very attractive booklet, contain- ing a list of I. S. N. U.'s Honor Roll. A copy was mailed to each person named on the Roll. The Club has also made and given over a dozen comfort kits to I. S. N. U. men who have left for service.

Besides these special activities, I. S. N. U. carried on the following lines of war service :

1. In a Red Cross drive made in October, 1917, 80% of the student body joined the Red Cross.

2. In the Registration Week in November, 97% of the student women and 100% of the faculty women registered for service.

3. A Red Cross sewing room was open three days a week. Large quantities of work have been turned out.

4. A Surgical Dressings Shop was opened in February.

5. A large collection of books and magazines was made under Miss Mil- ner's efficient direction.

6. The sum of $1550 was given to the Y. M. C. A. fund.

7. Liberty bonds were purchased by Philadelphia, by the Lecture Board, and by the students and faculty as a whole for the Students' Loan Fund.

8. A Smileage Book campaign was successfully carried on, largely through Mr. Peterson's efforts.

9. Each grade in training school, and the kindergarten reached 100% membership in Junior Red Cross.

10. A large amount of Red Cross work was done by the grades.

11. The Kindergarten Department, under Miss Lee's efficient manage- ment, arranged for a recital from which they cleared $170, all of which they donated to the Red Cross.

12. A conservation class was taught by Miss Crum.

13. Liberty Loan speeches and patriotic addresses of various kinds were made by Faculty members.

I. S. N. U. AUXILIARY OF NORMAL BRANCH RED CROSS

During the past year every branch of the Illinois State Normal University has helped in the Red Cross work — the children of the training school, the students, and the faculty.

Work Done by the Children

The children in the Training School have substituted war relief sewing for a number of their regular sewing problems. They have made approxi- mately 238 articles including slings, abdominal bandages, shoulder wraps, hot water bag covers, bed socks, bootees, hoods and mittens.

In addition to their class-room work the training school children have clone a large amount of volunteer work under the supervision of the training teachers, who have met with the pupils at a regular hour at the close of the school day. By this means they made comfort pillows, small quilts, gun wipes, ration heaters, bootees, housewives and one knitted comfort.

The total number of articles made by the children was approximately 4,945.

THE HISTORY OF THE I. S. N. U.

V" ft^BHL0.

I. S. N. U. in 1860

In 1839 by establishing three state normal schools Massachusetts began a new era in popular education. By 1855 New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan and New Jersey had founded similar institutions. Thruont the North progressive public men were urging free public schools and the adequate training of teachers.

The Illinois State Teachers' Association, organized in 1853 set up as its two chief objects a free school law, and a state normal school. The free school law came in 1855, but the normal school was delayed. There lay in the state treasury the sum of $200,000 the proceeds of grants of the Federal government, known as the college or seminary fund. Some members of the legislature sought to distribute this among existing denominational colleges. Others would establish a state university laying special emphasis upon agriculture and the mechanic arts, but the largest group urged that the most pressing educa- tional need in the state was better trained teachers. Finally the last two groups united in creating the State Normal University. Governor Bissell signed the bill February 18, 1857.

Peoria, Bloomington, Batavia, Washington, became candidates for the location of the school. Bloomington 's bid of $141,000 in lands and money was highest, hence the school was located at the center of Section 28, "within one half mile of the junction" of the two newly-built railroads, the Chicago and Alton, and the Illinois Central. Hon. Jesse W. Fell had been most influ- ential in securing the subscriptions that won the location.

On October 5, 1857, the school was opened in Majors Hall in Bloomington with three teachers and nineteen students. The principal was Charles E.

Hovey, a Vermonter, a graduate of Dartmouth, for three years the leading teacher m Peoria and editor of the Illinois Teacher. With him were Ira Moore a graduate of the Bridgewater state normal school in Massachusetts, and Charl- ton Lewis of Yale, who became one of the foremost scholars and penologists of America. Later Mary Brooks, an accomplished primary teacher of Peoria was employed to run the experimental school of seven pupils.

Meanwhile the Board of Education had employed George P Eandall of Chicago, the leading architect in the West, to draw the plans for the Main Building. Contracts were let, the corner stone laid on September 29 In that month came the financial panic of 1857. Subscribers were unable to pay Building operations- stopped for two years. President Hovey deserves great credit for finally collecting the greater part of the subscription and completing the work undertaken.

In June, 1860, the first commencement was held in the new tho unfinished building. The following September saw the school in its new quarters with

161 students in attendance besides 123 children in the model school. The building standing solitary in the midst of a bare field could be seen for many miles across the prairie. A plan for planting the grounds was laid out in 1860 by William Saunders of Philadelphia. The plan waited until after the War m 1867 before Jesse Fell secured an appropriation of $3,500 for the work.

With President Lincoln's first call for volunteers in April, 1861, Joseph Gideon Howell, principal of the grammar school, and five students enlisted. Others were anxious to go. To hold the school together Principal Hovey pro- posed to raise a regiment of teachers, the normal students to serve as Company A. Drill was begun at once. In September the 33d Illinois was mustered in. Only one other northern regiment was led by a college president, the 42d Ohio under Col. James A. Garfield, president of Hiram College, who later became president of the United States. Normal bore an honorable part in the Civil war. Her service flag, had such flags been known in the sixties, would have carried 128 stars for students, seven for members of the faculty.

The departure of President Hovey and a majority of the faculty and male students weakened the school. In April, 1862, came Richard Edwards, the new principal, a native of Wales, who after graduating from Bridgewater had served as principal of the normal schools at Salem, Mass., and at St. Louis. He was a forceful, energetic teacher and a public speaker of extraordinary power. There came also from Bridgewater Edwin C. Hewitt, later president, and Thomas Metcalf. Each of these men served the school for thirty-two years. From Harvard came Albert Stetson for twenty-five years teacher of literature and English, and W. L. Pillsbury, principal of the high school. In the department of natural science were Joseph Addison Sewell, later president of the University of Colorado, John W. Powell, the explorer of the Colorado Canyon, and Stephen A. Forbes, for more than a generation our state entomolo- gist. John W. Cook and Henry McCormick, recent graduates of extraordinary promise, were put in charge of mathematics and geography.

No other State Normal School equaled this in attendance, income, or the ability and influence of its faculty. No other state normal school, with the possible exception of the Oswego school, was so generally copied by the young schools springing up thruout the West. By 1876 the students had in- creased from 152 to 467, the model school from 123 to 312, the faculty from ten teachers to fifteen, the annual income from $12,000 to $29,550.

On January 1, 1876, President Edwards resigned to accept the pastorate of the Congregational Church at Princeton, 111. It is difficult adequately to characterize his moral worth, his eloquence and learning, his remarkable vigor, his laborious industry in the cause of education.

Edwin C. Hewitt was immediately chosen to fill the vacancy. His admin- istration of fourteen and one-half years was marked by steady growth along established lines.

The course of study during all these years had undergone little change. It was a three-year-course devoting the first year chiefly to the common branches, the remaining years to what we know as high-school branches, peda- gogy and practice teaching. Students who desired instruction in Latin, Greek, or German obtained them in the High School (1862-1895). The students were usually ill-prepared, but earnest, plucky, and ambitious. They learned to read with the fervor of Dr. Edwards, to pronounce with the precision of Thomas Met- calf, and to spell the sesquipedalian terms of the dictionary under the guidance of Dr. Hewitt. These men with Ira Moore and Albert Stetson had all been students of Nicholas Tillinghast at Bridgewater and brought to the prairies of Illinois the inflexible honesty, the hatred of sham and superficiality, the uncompromising thoroughness that characterized the old West Pointer. It was reported that every student acquired lateral curvature from carrying back and forth his copy of Lippincott's Universal Gazateer that was the chief text book in geography. Natural Science received large attention from the first, largely because the Illinois Society of Natural History housed its large collections in the space now occupied by the Philadelphian Hall. Our large museum is due to the work of that society. During the administration of Dr. Hewitt the faculty increased to 18, the enrollment to 677 besides 503 in the model school, the income to $36,200.

With the election of president John W. Cook came a vigorous progressive policy that brought to pass things that had been talked about for a generation. He first secured for the training school a new building costing $22,000 and organized the training upon a more secure basis. In the early days, the so- called model school was largely a school for observation; students taught classes but with little supervision. In 1874 Thomas Metcalf had been ap-

pointed head of the training school, and had been provided with three assist- ants known as critic teachers. Under President Cook there came Charles and Frank McMnrry and C. C. Van Liew, men who had studied Herbartian peda- gogy in Germany and were eager to organize the model school in accordance with it. Other young teachers were called to the faculty ; Miss J. Rose Colby, a grad- uate of the University of Michigan and of Radcliffe, put new life and meaning into the study of literature; David Felmley succeeded President Cook as teacher of mathematics; Lida Brown McMnrry began her unmatched career as primary critic ; 0. L. Manchester, a Dartmouth man, became principal of the high school. These younger men under the leadership of President Cook at- tacked the problems of education with great ardor. The Faculty Club was

ill

established and accomplished much constructive work of high value. The club still continues with something of its old spirit, altho its best work now is in enabling each member of the faculty in turn to acquaint other members with the aim and method of the work in his department.

In 1895 an appropriation was secured for a library and gymnasium, and the beautiful stone building with architecture so characteristic of the Altgeld regime was erected. In the earlier days there had been a text-book library with free text books, a reference library and two society libraries, all with student librarians. Pres. Cook consolidated these in rooms nine and ten and put the present librarian in charge 27 years ago. He introduced systematic gym- nastic training when in 1891 Miss Lucia Raines began to give two lessons per Aveek to the young ladies. Later Miss Amelia Lucas from the Emerson school of Expression and B. C. Edwards divided their time between reading and gym- nastics.

INDEX <# 1918

In 1894, to attract high school graduates, a two-year course of study was introduced, and, with the abolition of the high school in 1895, a four-year course including Latin and German was installed,but it was still true that the majority of students were admitted by examination and were without high- school preparation.

By the close of President Cook's administration the faculty had increased from eighteen to twenty-one members, the annual income to $41,740. The enrollment had risen to 840, but the training school had dwindled to 211.

In 1899 President Cook accepted the presidency of the state normal school at DeKalb and Arnold Tompkins was elected president in his stead. This date definitely marks the end of the Bridgewater regime. The new president had taught at Depauw and Terre Haute and was then professor of education at the University of Illinois. He had won distinction as a brilliant writer and speaker on educational themes. He brought into the school an element of consecration to duty, a singleness of purpose, a faith in human nature, a breadth of philosophy, and a f and of breezy humor whose tonic effects were felt in every classroom.

Dr. Tompkins at once moved to modify the course of study. No other year in the history of the institution had witnessed so many radical changes. Recitation periods were lengthened and their number reduced to twenty per week. Attendance was required only at general exercises and at recitations. Required practise teaching was reduced to three terms and the required psy- chology and pedagogy from 40 term-hours to 25.

At the end of the year Dr. Tompkins was called to the principalship of the Chicago normal school, a position made famous by the genius of Col. F. W. Parker, and one that Dr. Tompkins had long coveted. David Felmley who for ten years had served as professor of mathematics was elected president. He has continued the lines of development begun by Dr. Tompkins and has contributed in this institution to the great expansion of function that during the past twenty years has characterized the normal schools of the middle west and far west. The new developments may be summarized as follows : —

The Summer School: Six weeks in 1900, twelve weeks after 1902, eighteen weeks (including the mid-spring term) after 1913. Attendance in 1900, 444; in 1916 total summer enrolments, 3,022.

Science in tlie Curriculum: The old course of study had recognized no place for science in the elementary grades. Charles W. Whitten was made the first teacher of nature study in 1901. Soon the school garden was laid out, a greenhouse built, and the campus replanted with new trees and shrubbery to repair the frightful ravages of the storm of June 10, 1902. New courses in physics, chemistry, biology, and nature study have been established requir- ing in all seven teachers instead of the two deemed sufficient in 1899.

Enlarged Training School Facilities: The meager attendance in the train- ing school (160 in 1899) made it clear that a radical reorganization must be had. In 1901 a contract was made with the public school board of Normal by which the training school was merged into the public school system. This union of the schools lasted five years. It was opposed by many citizens of Normal who were defeated in all school elections with one exception. The contract was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in May, 1906. After the dissolution of the Union the training school was more than twice as large as before, for it retained sixty per cent of all the children in the town of Normal. Steps were taken in 1906 to establish a high-school as part of the training school. In 1916 a contract was made with the State Board of Admin- istration by which the instruction of the children at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home was to be taken over by the Normal University.

INDEX J« 1918

The Teachers College: Beginning in 1900 various departments began to offer advanced elective courses. In 1907 the state legislature granted to the Normal University the power to confer degrees in education. Gradually the advanced work was developed and organized and a four-year teachers college curriculum established. This action was taken because of the increasing de- mand in high schools for teachers combining the thoro professional training of the normal school with a broader scholarship than the two-year program affords. The University High School (230 students) has developed along with the Teachers College.

Special Curricuhims: From the beginning the normal school has offered instruction in the rudiments of music, art, penmanship, and bookkeeping ; the courses offered were brief and required of all. Since 1900, the demand for special teachers of adequate preparation has led to new curricula and addi- tional teachers.

The Kindergarten with two teachers.

Public school music with two full-time teachers, none before 1899.

Art and Design, with three teachers instead of one.

Manual Training with two teachers.

Home Economics with four teachers.

Commerce with two teachers.

Agriculture with two teachers. In 1914 the Normal university farm, for fifty years rented to local nursery companies, was provided with buildings and stock, and is now conducted at a profit to the institution. No other normal school in the country is so well equipped for teaching intensive agriculture including dairying, poultry-raising, and swine-breeding.

In 1900 the curricuhims offered were a two-year curriculum for high-school graduates, a three-year curriculum for other students, and a four-year curri- culum for such as wished to add Latin or German. Because of the fact that nearly all students are now high-school graduates, the two-year general curri- culum has been differentiated to prepare teachers of upper grades, lower grades, and primary grades. The three-year program is restricted to students having three-years of high-school preparation or their equivalent. Students of lower preparation are given the choice between taking preparatory studies to remove their high school deficiencies, or entering the new country-school department, to fit themselves for third grade teachers' certificates.

In 1914 an extension department was created carrying normal instruction every two weeks to study-centers organized at various points in the state. The enrolment of teachers in 1917 reached 658.

The past nineteen years have thus been years of great expansion. The faculty and the income have grown much faster than the student body, the per capita cost of normal school instruction has more than doubled. The number of teachers has grown from 21 to 72 ; the annual income for operation from $41,740 to $213,000; the number of normal students in regular terms from 600 to 937 ; the number of different summer-school students from 0 to 2577 ; the high-school enrolment from 0 to 250; the children in the elementary school from 211 to 558; the children instructed in the Soldiers' Orphans' Home from 0 to 452; the non-resident students in extension courses from 0 to 677.

Altho most of these items will show some shrinkage for the present year, yet the present complete organization will be maintained and improved so as to afford the best possible facilities for educating teachers of Illinois.

THE SENIORS' ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS.

In promulgating your esoteric coagitations ;

Or articulating superficial sentimentalities,

And philosophical psychological observations,

Beware of platitudinous ponderosity.

Let your conversation possess a clarified conciseness,

Comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and concatenated cogency,

Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity,

Jejune babblements, and assinine affectations ;

Let your extemporaneous decantings,

And your unpremeditated expatiations,

Have intelligibility and veracious vivacity

Without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast ;

Sedulously avoid all pompous prolixity,

Ventriloquial verbosity, and veniloquent vapidity.

Or— in other words — do as we, the Seniors, do: don't use big words.

Country Life Club

Though the Country Life Club has suffered from the war and economic pressure, yet it has retained its organization and has conducted its meetings as usual. The greatest change has been the loss of many of the boys who have entered some branch of war service.

In the fall term the president was Ethel Harrison, who had been an active member during the previous year, and had given much of her time and energy to the work ; in the winter term, the president was Perna M. Stein, who had had a great deal of experience in Illinois and Minnesota ; and the spring term, Paul E. Mapes, as president, showed his superior ability in arranging programs.

During the year the club had the pleasure of listening to lectures given by William B. Brigham of McLean County, Professor Eyman, and others. The girls who had taken three weeks of practice work in superior rural schools of the state gave interesting reports of their experiences.

FELL HALL

'They also serve who only stand and wait," seems to express the function of Fell Hall, our new residence hall for women, during the school year of 1917 and 1918. One disappointment after another has delayed the opening of the building so that many who had selected their rooms and made up their minds to a year of real dormitory life are now graduating without having had so much as one single spread or house meeting.

Not all the girls of Illinois State Normal University can, nor will all of them desire to, live in Fell Hall. Yet all the girls of the school will have some part and parcel of the benefit of having such a building upon the campus. Even the boys, if the war does not reduce that portion of our student body to the disappearing point, will feel that the hall affords them some other pleasure than the doubtful one of hurrying out the front door at closing time. For the building is to be devoted to the social life of the entire school.

The spacious living room and dining room, opening as they do each upon the other by means of great swinging doors, can be made practically one apartment adapted to use for large school functions. Cloakrooms for both men and women open from the entrance hall. The kitchen is equipped so that a large number can be served conveniently. With such accommodations, one can readily see that alumni banquets, faculty teas and receptions, dancing club parties, and so on, will be more conveniently and pleasantly housed than in years gone by.

What customs or traditions may grow up about the life of the girls in the building only the years will be able to tell. Some things are certain how- ever. The beams of the dinning room will re-echo to songs and laughter; and pleasant hours will be passed about the great fireplace in the living room.

PHILADELPHIA

In spite of handicaps, the Philadelphian Society is closing a successful year. The fall term, under the leadership -of Miss Cash, was a busy and profitable one. In the winter term the society had the misfortune to lose its president, Mr. Quick, just two weeks before the contest. But with the help of the faculty advisor, Miss Stark, the new president — Miss Irwin — was able to steer the Philadelphia bark successfully thru the treacherous shoals of inter-society basketball games and literary contest and bring it safely to shore with a few points to spare. The work of the spring term, with Mr. Policy at the helm, has gone very well indeed.

In losing Miss Stark, the society lost a faithful friend, but Miss Jane Black- burn has proved to be a helpful and efficient advisor.

Letters from the many who have gone from the service of Philadelphia into the service of their country have been an inspiration to present Phila- delphians.

Old Philadelphia has kept ' ' Going On ' ' thru her sixtieth year, and is ready to face another sixty years.

MEMBER OF SENIOR CLASS PASSES AWAY

Miss Sylvia Watts of this year 's Senior Class, died at the Brokaw Hospital April 27, 1918. She had been ill since the beginning of the spring term. Friends of Sylvia will remember her patience and cheerfulness during her illness, which was interfering so much with her plans and ambitions. A short but impressive funeral service was conducted in Bloomington, on the following Sunday, by Rev. Mr. Bloomer. Students and teachers of the I. S. N. U. extend their sincerest sympathy to the bereaved family;

THE VIDE.TTE

The Vidette has just completed what has probably been its most successful year, despite the fact that many difficulties were encountered because of war conditions. These difficulties included the enlistment of two editors-in-chief, one assistant editor, and three members of the editorial staff, and the resignation of one member of the staff who entered the teaching profession.

Under the direction of Miss Penstone, Videttes have been mailed to every one of the War Service Roster. The Vidette has gone to practically every can- tonment and training camp in the United States, from Bremerton on Puget Sound to Fortress Monroe on the Atlantic, and also to members of the A. E. F. in France. Miss Penstone had charge of the "With Our Warriors" department which was an exchange of letters and news of our men in service.

Mr. Harry J. Owens and Mr. Harry Stewart had been elected as editor-in- chief and assistant editor; Mr. Stewart enlisted during the summer of 1917 and Mr. Owens followed in October. Mr. Bradford Stewart was then elected editor-in-chief and continued in office until April, 1918. Miss Helen Kasbeer was assistant editor in the fall, but left school at Thanksgiving and was succeeded by Miss Alice A. Doner, who was chosen editor-in-chief after the enlistment of Mr. Stewart. Mr. W. C. Cooper, society editor, and Herschel Scott, joke editor, also enlisted in the fall. Mr. Warren Covins handled the joke column for some time but resigned to enter the navy. Mr. Theron White filled his place for of the remainder of the year in a satisfactory manner. Miss Miriam Manchester, exchange editor, Miss Esther Reichel, art editor, Miss Lorena Beckwith, assistant editor in the spring, Miss Mildred Bond, reporter, and the high school members of the staff, Mr. Paul Packard, athletics, and Mr. Don Coen, reporter, all helped in making the year a successful one for the Vidette.

WKIGHTONIA

Wrightonia began her work in the fall of 1917 in excellent trim. With Mr. W. C. Cooper as our leader we felt that victory in the coming contests was assured. We had a fine body of people from which to select the fighters for the purple and gold. As the call for fighters for the "Stars and Stripes" be- came more urgent, however, almost every week saw one or two of our men leaving us to take up that greater work. We were too proud of them to wish them back, but we missed them greatly.

Under the leadership of our winter term president, Winifred Priest, Wrightonia worked harder than ever to fill in her scattered ranks. For the first time in many years our literary contestants were all girls. These girls worked hard and fought well, and we are proud of every one of them. The contest was a close one.

Miss Van Hook deserves special praise for her work. Only a little more than two weeks before the contest she consented to take Mr. Cooper 's place as extempore speaker. This is, next to the debate, one of the hardest and most trying numbers of the contest. Miss Van Hook won this point for Wrightonia. Last year she won the declamation for us. We appreciate her loyal support.

Wrightonia is grateful to her teams and all who helped in any way to keep old Wrightonia up to the standard during this trying year. Though we were defeated, the contests were close, and a good contest is always worth while.

Mr. LeMarr was elected president for the spring term. Many interesting programs were arranged for. A war garden, under the supervision of Professor Linkins, was planned for and carried on by members of the society.

Mention must here be made of Wrightonia 's service flag which was made and presented during the fall term. Wrightonia was the first organization in the school to have a service flag. At that time the flag contained thirty-four stars. That number is now more than doubled.

THE WRIGHTONIAN-PHILADELPHIAN CONTEST

The 57th annual inter-society contest was held Friday evening, Dec. 21, in the school auditorium, Philadelphia duplicating her victory of last year with a score of four to three. It was interesting to note that the Wrightonian con- testants were all women.

The program opened with a debate, Resolved, "That We should Pay the Cost of the Present War Much More Largely Through Contemporaneous Taxa- tion than has Hitherto Been Provided For. ' ' The speakers for the affirma- tive were Mr. A. J. Kissinger and Mr. Ezra Reed of Philadelphia, for the nega- tive ; Miss Estelle Yewell and Miss Perna Stine of Wrightonia. The debate was hotly contested, the decision of the judges being 2 to 1 in favor of Philadel- phia.

Next came the vocal solos. Miss Mary Seright, the Wrightonian contestant sang "My Lover, He Comes on the Skee" (Clough-Leighter), and "An Irish Love Song" (Lang). Philadelphia was represented by Miss Ruth Huffington who sang "A Banjo Song" (Sidney Homer), and "He Was a Prince" (Frank Lynes). Miss Seright was victorious.

The orations given were exceptionally good. "The Call to Arms" was given by Miss Miriam Manchester- Mr. Willard Canopy won for Philadelphia with the oration, "Why We Are at War."

The instrumental solos were next on the program. Miss Annetta Dennis, representing Wrightonia, played the ' ' Spring Song" (Henselp) , and ' ' Chromatic Waltz" (Godard). Miss Anna Larkin, the Philadelphian contestant, played ''Kamennoi Ostrow" (Rubinstein). Both contestants displayed unusual abil- ity. The decision of the judges was in favor of Miss Dennis.

The Wrightonians won also in extempore speaking. Miss Nellie Van Hook was the contestant and spoke on ' ' Food Conservation. ' ' Mr. Elias Rolley, con- testant for Philadelphia, spoke on "War Classifies People."

The last number on the program was the reading contest. Miss Hazel Shaner read "The Swan Song" by Katherine R. Brooks. Miss Lora Dare, winner of last year's Edward's Medal Contest, read "The Flag Factory" by Margarite S. Gerry. Miss Shaner won the point for Philadelphia.

EDWARDS' MEDAL CONTEST

The annual Edwards' Medal Contest was held February 23, in the audi- torium. The performance of all the contestants was high class and deserved the large audience that assembled for the affair. Miss Miriam Manchester won the medal offered for the best oration, and Miss Hazel Bachenheimer won the contest in declamation.

The program follows :

Music— Girls' Glee Club.

Oration— "The Call to Arms"— Miriam Manchester. Oration — "Lloyd George" — Lorena Beckwith. Oration— "Why We Are at War"— Willard Canopy. Reading — "When the Fleet Goes By" — Hazel Bachenheimer. Reading — "The Great Guest Comes"— Clarice AVhittenberg. Reading from ' ' Michael ' ' — Irene Quinn. Music— Girls' Glee Club.

MACOMB-NORMAL ORATORICAL CONTEST

The winners of the Edwards' Medal Contest, Miss Manchester and Miss Baehenheimier, together with Mr. Elias Rolley, represented I. S. N. U. in the oratorical contest at Macomb. Miss Manchester won unanimously with her oration, "Our Call to Arms"; Mr. Rolley drew as his subject for extempore speaking-, "Third Liberty Loan. " He was given a 2 to 1 decision by the judges. Macomb was successful in the declamatory contest, with a 2 to 1 decision. Although Miss Baehenheimer did not win first place, she read extremely well and we are proud of her work.

Since Miss Manchester won in the oratorical contest, the Inter-State Ora- torical Contest, which is held in Illinois once in five years, was held here Friday, May 3. Mr. Rolley, the winner of the extempore speaking contest, left school to join the colors and his place was filled by Miss Lorena Beck- with. Only two states, Wisconsin and Illinois, were represented in extempore speaking. Miss Beckwith won the contest. This was the second annual extem- pore contest and it was held in the afternoon. In the evening the twenty-third annual oratorical contest was held. There were four contestants, Miss Man- chester from I. S. N. IT., and representatives from the three Normal schools at Cedar Falls, Iowa, Whitewater, Wisconsin, and Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The Wisconsin representative won first place and the Cedar Falls contestant won second place.

LECTUEE BOABD

THE LECTURE COURSE

In spite of the competition with war benefit entertainments the Lecture Course had a very prosperous year. Prof. Paul J. Goode's lecture on the Geo- graphic Conditions of the European War brought out in vivid fashion the supe- riority of the Allies over Germany and her allies in the natural resources essential to success in the war. To Miss Owen much credit is due for bringing to Normal the distinguished English poet and lecturer, John Masefield, who gave some wonderful word paintings of war scenes. All three of the musical numbers pleased well. Probably the University of Illinois Band aroused the greatest enthusiasm, especially the xylophone and marimbaphone playing. The pop- ularity of the Trio de Lutece and of Christine Miller showed that the more serious music, when so splendidly given, is wanted by our school.

SENIOR COLLEGE CLUB

Perhaps no organization in school has suffered more from the war than the Senior College Club, which is composed of the students in the two upper classes of the Teachers' College Department. Last year more than twenty students received the degree of Bachelor of Education. This year's class consists of nine — six women and thre.e men. The Senior College Club has not been active this year, but it still exists as an organization. If a few more people who have finished K2 will realize, next year, the value of keeping on in school, the club will once more take its place among student activities. The officers during the past year have been President, Doris Irwin ; Vice-President, Eulalia Tortat ; Sec- retary-Treas., Ed. Braun.

CICERO

Cicero greets you. And to you, brothers in war service, Cicero extends a most cordial greeting.

At the first regular meeting of the year, October 5, 1917, the following officers were elected: president, Elias Rolley; vice-president, Ezra Reed; sec- retary, Edward M. Wones; treasurer, Alan D. Drynan; sergeant-at-arms, Lewis Millman.

Cicero held its open meeting November 5 in Philadelphian Hall. At this meeting the Honorable John A. Sterling addressed the organization and its friends on the subject of America and the Great War.

Due to the large percent of men drawn from the society into various forms of war service, Cicero has, from the beginning of the school year, lacked the enthusiasm which comes from large numbers. Throuout the year the men called to the colors were those most active in Cicero ; they left vacancies which were difficult to fill. With the redoubled efforts on the part of the remaining men to complete their course of study before they, too, leave to serve their country, the Ciceronians have felt it to be their duty to forego, for a time, active par- ticipation in the society in order that their efforts might be concentrated upon the problem of the hour. Do not confuse this period of quiescence in the organ- ization with senility, for, during this period new phases of activity and useful- ness were constantly discussed and gradually formulated. When the time is ripe this quiescent period like similar periods in other activities, will burst forth into a thing of power.

At such a time as this Ciceronians are proud that their number on the active roll is small, for it shows that Cicero is formed of men who respond promptly to a call to higher duty.

Again Brothers in Cicero, both here and "over there," greetings.

WILLIAM QUICK—" Cleanliness is next to godliness."

EABBY BAYL— "Flirty, and most pleasant."

ELIAS BOLLLY— Describe him who can;

An abridgment of all,

That was pleasant in man.

THE SCIENCE CLUB

The Science Club, first organized in 1912, consists of faculty and student members interested in various lines of scientific study. Student members are elected by the executive committee from lists submitted by the science teachers of the University. Students thus made eligible to join the club appreciate the privilege offered and do not need urging to become members.

The club meets once each month in the lecture room of the library. The programs are always varied and interesting. The discussions which follow the reading of the papers are by no means dull parts of the program. They are spirited and amusing as well as instructive.

This year for the second time, a delegate was sent by this club to the

Academy of Science which met in Joliet, February 22-23. Mr. Braun was selected this year.

GIRLS' DEBATING CLUB

The Girls' Debating Club experienced an unusual degree of progress, dur- ing the year 1917-18, notwithstanding some serious handicaps.

Miss Minnie Mess most capably piloted the members of the club during the fall term. A study of the principles of parliamentary law was taken up, which lead to a close observation of these laws in the practical work of the club. A chart showing a diagram of parliamentary motions was purchased which will aid future presidents of the organization. Along with this valuable work, the club enjoyed many interesting literary and musical programs.

The work of the club was hampered during the winter term by the "coal shortage," in that Room 12 was not comfortably heated; consequently, for six_ weeks the club meetings were discontinued. There had been planned a series of four debates on live questions of the day. Only one group of debaters was privileged to appear because of the cancelled programs. The effort of this one group evidenced the excellence of the work that might have been accom- plished under favorable circumstances. Miss Cora I. Botts was president during this term. Through the inspiring leadership of Miss Blanche Acree, the club enjoyed a most profitable period of work throughout the spring term'.

Miss Blake, by her visits and helpful suggestions, has encouraged the club in all undertakings. Her interest has been greatly appreciated by the girls of the Debating Club. Mr. Sanford and several members of his debating class also gave valuable help during the year.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

The fall of 1914 marks the beginning of the Commercial Department in I. S. N. U. with Mr. A. R. Williams in charge. There were eleven students enrolled — nine men and two women. Of these, five men were graduated. In the fall of 1915 Miss Sells came to take charge of the Shorthand and Type- writing Classes. There were sixteen new students enrolled — six men and ten women. Of these, two men and two women were graduated. In the fall of 1916 there were twenty students enrolled — thirteen men and seven women. Of these, four men and three women will be graduated this spring.

"We hope to be able to have next year a much larger enrollment than ever before, and a larger percentage of graduates. In order to accomplish this, letters and material have been sent to graduates of high schools all over the state. This has required a great deal of time and labor, but we think in the end it will prove to be time and labor well spent.

Owing to the efforts of Mr. Williams and Miss Sells and the cooperation of the students with them in these efforts, the Commercial Department of the I. S. N. U. has come to be one of the most important departments of the University.

We now have a permanently organized Commercial Club that next year will be willing to compete for prominence and importance with the other clubs of the University.

Following is a list of the officers of the Commercial Club for the spring term, 1918:

President: Frank Crosby. Vice-President : Catherine 0 'Connor. Secretary-Treasurer : Floyd Pfiffner.

NATURE STUDY CLUB

The Nature Study Club, as the name suggests, is an organization whose purpose it is to develop an interest in the world of nature and to advance the cause of the nature study movement.

The year 1917-18 was a very successful one for the club. All members were faithful in attendance, and all participated willingly in the programs. In every way the members showed a deep interest in the work, and manifested a true nature study spirit.

The officers for the year were: president, Minnie Niess; vice-presidents, Dorothy Douglas, and Jessie Frankenburger ; secretary-treasurer, Mary Dean.

Much valuable information and much pleasure were derived from the various meetings throughout the year from such topics as: "Nature Study Work in General," "Prominent Naturalists," "Bird and Animal Life," "Native Trees and Flowers," "Wild Life in National Parks."

During the year the club also enjoyed some social gatherings. One of these, held at the home of Miss Patterson, had as a special feature the initia- tion of ten new members. A picnic supper given during the spring term out among the beauties of nature will long be remembered with pleasure by the members of the club.

THE JESTERS— 1917-18

Because the other organizations of the school voted this year to omit the annual "Stunt Show," the Jesters supplied the missing number in the place of their usual play. It proved so successful under the guidance of Miss Owen that enough money was cleared to pay the Jester debts, give money to war relief, and leave a reserve fund in the treasury for a starting fund for next year. The red brick house that has proved so valuable in producing plays is now entirely owned by the Jesters.

The stunts composing the show were, for the most part, original with the exception of the last one, a French comedy of one act. Dances were given between the stunts by Miss Thompson, Miss Kitchens, and Miss Moulic, by six girls of Miss Baker's class, and by Miss Watkins and Miss Raycraft. The first act was a scene in a local millinery shop, owned by Floyd Pfiffner, assisted by Jessie Button and Francis Jones as salesladies. Local types of characters were represented as buying hats, by Helen Pringle, Lorraine Kraft, Lora Dare, Bertha Foster, Winifred Priest, Berniee Moulie, and Irene Quinn. Act two was a clever take-off on the yearly Index, written and presented by Dorothy Kitchens and Francis Rentchler. Members of the faculty and various school activities were represented by Dorothy Griggs, Francis Oberkoetter, Esther Johnson, Marjorie Rentchler, Dudley Courtright, Paul Le Marr, Margaret Manchester, Floyd Pfiffner, Bane Pierce, Elizabeth Haley, Dorothy Darrah and Miriam Manchester. The third stunt consisted of music and jokes, furnished by Arnold Beckman, Paul Packard, and Clarence Westhoff, assisted by Mr. Miller. The fourth act, the French comedy, was given by Winifred Ridgley, Florence Snyder and Lynn Watson. The scenes were introduced by Carolyn Miller and Hazel Bachenheimer. Music was furn- ished by the orchestra under the direction of Mrs. Keleher.

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

The readiness of the Young Women's Christian Association to meet con- ditions imposed on women by the war has forever proved that the Association has a right to exist and a task to perform. As we have watched the War Work Council, the special branch of the Association created to meet war needs, originate the hostess house idea and carry it out successfully in camp after camp until the government now recognizes hostess houses as a potent factor for good and for keeping up the morale of the men in training; as we have seen women, at the suggestion of Y. W. C. A., organizing to safeguard the young girlhood of the land, protect and aid foreign women and house girls in industry; and as we have seen some of our best secretaries cross the sea for work in Russia and France, we have thrilled with pride at being part of such a movement. The part that the I. S. N. IT. helped through the Student Friendship War Fund, one-fifth of which went toward Y. W. C. A. war work, makes it all the more our own.

The Association barely started the ball of the Friendship Fund rolling. The whole school united to make it an I. S. N. U. affair and faculty and students together learned the beauty and satisfaction of giving.

The Doll Show this year was new for our Association. Girls bought dolls, dressed them, and gave them to the Association. At the time of the Japanese sale, shortly before Christmas, the dolls were put on exhibition and prizes given for the best dressed and the most cleverly dressed dolls. Then the seventy dolls were sent to children in Normal and in the Orphans' Home. We hope to make the doll show an annual affair.

This year the Association has adopted the Girls' Industrial Home of Bloomington. It all started at Thanksgiving when the ten girls of the social service committee each invited a guest from the Home. The hostesses and guests were so mutually pleased that some of the girls continued their inter- est m the Home, and this spring the Association took over the Sunday after- noon meetings at the Home.

This spring we observed Holy Week by morning services at the Christian Church. Twenty-five to thirty girls came each morning. Easter morning saw girls, seventy-five of them, slipping quietly out to the sunrise service.

Plans for the summer include regular work plus a patriotic bit of war gardening, where the girls will demonstrate their ability to raise corn and tomatoes as well as they can conduct a sale or a Wednesday evening meeting.

CHORAL CLUB

For many years the Choral Club has held first place among the musical organizations of the school. Through the never-tiring efforts of Mr. Westhoff and. the inspiration which results from having an efficient and devoted leader, the club is finishing another very successful year. Again this year, Miss Eulalia Tortat, was the accompanist.

One of the chief aims of the Choral Club is to give an opportunity to its members to become acquainted with the music of the world's best composers. This aim is accomplished by the use of selections from Gounod, Schumann, Mozart and others. As in past years, this year also an appreciation of and interest in music of this type has been developed among our students.

In the fall term there was a membership of sixty-eight, sixty women and eight men. Although the men were few in number, they did commendable work, and in the fall term concert they made a splendid showing. It was de- cided, however, owing to the small number of men enrolled in school, to limit tiie membership during the winter and spring terms, entirely to girls.

One of Sullivan's operettas, "The Rivals, " was presented by the Choral Club at the close of the winter term, and the usual sacred concert was given on the afternoon of Baccalaureate Sunday.

THE I. S. N. U. BAND

The most noticeable feature of the I. S. N. U. band, at its initial appear- ance in general exercises, was the unusual number of girls filling the places left vacant by the men who had gone to serve ' ' with the colors. ' '

Classes in the Gymnasium building during the fall term will testify to the unusual number of strange noises issuing from the band room, indicative of the number aspiring to places in the band. Needless to say all did not sur- vive, but those who did were well rewarded for their efforts by the oppor- tunity of receiving instruction and inspiration under Mr. Westhoff's leader- shin. The work was enjoyed by all and the unceasing efforts of Mr. Westhoff made it possible for the band to present three programs at general exercises.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB

The Girls' Glee Club for the year 1917-18 has consisted of about twenty members, chosen from the members of the Choral Club. The personnel of the Glee Club changed from term to term, owing to changes in the student body.

Under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Keleher the Giee Club did very good work throughout the year. They furnished music at the Intersociety contest, the Edwards Medal contest, the Commencement Exercises, and they sang several numbers on the Choral Club program of the fall term.

THE ALUMNI QUARTERLY

The Alumni Quarterly is a thirty-two page publication- issued during the months of February, May, August, and November, by the Alumni Association of the University. It is financed wholly by the members of the Alumni Asso- ciation and is responsible only to them. It was founded for the purpose of keeping its members informed of their friends and of the life of the University. The executive committee of the Association, consisting of the Faculty Alumni and the members of the Senior College, appoints the managing editor and the business manager. Exercising that function, the committee last year ap- pointed Mr. T. J. Wilson editor, and Mr. Thomas Barger business manager. Since that time Mr. Wilson has served in the capacity for which he was chosen but as Mr. Barger refused to accept the position of business manager, Prof. F. D. Barber assumed the duties of business manager in addition to the duties of treasurer of the Association. He has managed affairs so well that the Quar- terly is better situated, financially, than it has been before.

During the past year the Quarterly has given considerable space to arti- cles dealing with the causes of the war and our duties in carrying it on. One of these articles appeared in the August number, being the commencement address of Dr. J. A. H. Keith at the I. S. N. U. commencement in June, 1917. Another article was on the subject, "Some Phases of the World War," by Prof. D. C. Ridgley. Aside from these articles the matter in the Quarterly has dealt almost entirely with news of the Alumni and of the University.

The present editorial policy of the Quarterly is to work for the good of the public school system, for the good of the teaching fraternity, for the good of the Alma Mater, and for the good of the Alumni Association. The Quar- terly lives to serve, and, to that end, it invites all members of the class of 1918 to become active members of the Alumni Association, and, consequently, mem bers of the Quarterly family.

FOOTBALL

The football team was composed practically of new men. Courtright, the veteran quarter-back, and "Porky" Packard, the infallible pivot man, were the only old men in the lineup. Rice, the full back from Moweaqua, was one of our steadiest men and he was also strong on the defense. More and Zim- merman were the ends, and they covered their territory well. Moore com- pleted many forward passes that resulted in touchdowns. Meyers and Crosby were our two tackles. They were always on the ball and supported the back field well. Carlson and Lawrence were the guards. They played well and were fast enough to keep up. Packard was the pivot man of both the defense and the offense. The entire defensive and offensive plan worked around him. Arnold, Stubblefield, Rice, Swigert, and Courtright were the back field. Ar- nold, a graduate of Normal High, was a good plunger and a strong man on defense.

All the games were well attended and considerable enthusiasm was dis- played by the students.

FIRST ANNUAL BASKETBALL BANQUET

The close of the basketball season was celebrated by a banquet for the team, held on March 6 at the Green room of the Woman's Exchange in Bloom- ington. Covers were laid for about fifty people, and with the exception of the fact that President Felmley was unable to be present the affair was entirely successful and was a pleasing commemoration of the season of 1917- 18, which ended in Normal's placing second in the Little Nineteen.

Dean Manchester acted as toastmaster and the following toasts were given :

THE CURE FOR ALL ILLS

If you fall and crack your coco

While you're playing basketball, And you think that you are dying,

That there is no hope at all, Pray you, do not get discouraged,

Even though the play was foul, See, here comes that blessed cure-all,

That beloved old wet towel.

If you feel that you are fainting,

And you 're almost out of breath, Do not feel the least bit worried,

For the towel will save from death. When the game is most exciting,

And your face is wet as sop, You will find the towel most useful

Just to use it as a mop.

Perhaps you sprained your ankle,

Or your knee is out of joint, Pray, do not let that disturb you,

All you have to do is point, The wet towel soon will reach you,

It will cure each ache and pain, And soon you will be fighting,

Boosting up that score again.

Some might think the towel repulsive,

Germs might in its folds exist, But for accidents and bruises

Not a boy can it resist. For no matter what the ailment,

That old towel will make it right, And you '11 soon be sound and happy,

In the thickest of the fight.

THE WRIGHTONIAN-PHILADELPHIAN GIRLS' BASKETBALL GAME

The Philadelphians regained the athletic supremacy of the gymnasium when they won the girls' basketball contest with a score of 26 to 12. Both teams played good team work and were well supported by their societies.

The Wrightonians had a seven point lead as a result of the girls' hockey game and the boys' basketball game. The fourteen point lead made by the girls' basketball game gave the championship to the Philadelphia!! society.

THE WRIGHTONIAN-PHILADELPHIAN HOCKEY GAME

The second annual hockey game played by the girls of the Wrightonian and Philadelphian societies was won by the Philadelphian girls with a score of 1 to 0. The game was a very close one, both teams doing fine work. The only score of the game was made during the last few seconds of playing when the ball was sent across the line by the Philadelphians, giving them the lead with one point.

THE TENNIS ASSOCIATION

Tennis has been one of the most popular and beneficial forms of amusement in the I. S. N. U. for a number of years. At first there were a few grass courts only. As these proved inadequate, a clay court was built, south of the main building. Gradually more and better courts with up-to-date equipment have been added so that now forty players can be accommodated.

_ Altho the present war conditions have affected every phase of our school activities, we have had this year an active and enthusiastic group of nearly one hundred players. The officers for the year 1917-18 were the following: presi- dent, M. J. Holmes; vice-president, R. H. Linkins; secretary and treasurer, Estelle Yewell; ground committee, Clarence Westhoff, Prank Dickinson and Paul E. Le Marr; custodian, Frank Dickinson. These officers arranged for six games to be played with other schools during the spring term.

There is no place where more friendship, harmony, and peace prevail than on the tennis grounds. Here, students and faculty meet and play as equals and friends.

PRESIDENT FELMLEY 'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

On Wednesday morning, April 25, 1918, the senior class celebrated Presi- dent Felmley 's sixty-first birthday anniversary by the presentation of sixty-one roses by sixty-one senior girls. Miss Luella Custer read a poem written by herself for the occasion. The stanzas of the poem were read to music and the other senior girls joined with Miss Custer in singing the chorus.

President Felmley expressed his thanks in a few characteristic and ap- preciative words. The ceremony ended with the singing of "Normal Loyalty" by the entire school.

To Our President

We have come to bring you greeting,

Upon this your natal day, Tender you congratulations,

And to show you in some way That our love for you continues,

That it deepens every year, As we come to know you better

Bringing birthday greetings,

Many birthday greetings,

Though the buds won't last alway

Their message will.

In the years remaining

You'll ne'er be complaining

Of the friends that you have made

In the days gone by.

Oh, we cannot but respect you

For your qualities of mind, For your ever helpful counsel,

And your many deeds so kind. You are teaching us a lesson

By your true and upright life, That will be to us a blessing

In our worlds of care and strife.

These sweet roses that we 're bringing

Are in number sixty-one ; May you pass yet many milestones

Ere you face life 's setting sun. 'Tis to you we bring these rose buds,

Not the institution here, 'Tis to you the class of eighteen

Sings once more this song of cheer.

FBANK ZIMMERMAN-" Oh these pictures! If I could only find where I belong!" RUTH WOOD SIDE—" It is good to live and learn." FLORENCE WYND—"In every rank, or great or small,

'Tis industry supports us all." WILLARI) CANOPY— Bard he labored, long and well,

On his work his eyesight fell.

One cold morning a sign was pushed up above the German trench facing ours, only about fifty yards away, which bore in large letters the words :

"Gott mit Uns!" One of our Cockney lads, more of a patriot than a linguist, looked at this for a moment and then made a lug sign of his own, which he raised on a stick. It read :

"We got mittens, too!"

An Irishman on a strike, passing a second-hand book store, saw a card in the window reading: "Dickens' Works— This Week For Six Dollars " ' ' The dirty Scab, ' ' said Mike.

Anything but a smileless dav.

"Oh Say, Can You?"

Oh, say, can you sing from the start to the end, What so proudly you stand for when orchestras play it ; When the whole congregation, in voices that blend, Strike up the grand hymn and then torture and slay it ? How they bellow and shout when they're first starting out, But "the dawn's early light finds them floundering about, 'Tis "The Star Spangled Banner" they're trying to sing, But they don't know the words of the precious old thing.

Hark! The "twilight's last gleaming" has some of them stopped,

But the valiant survivors press forward serenely

To "the ramparts we watched," where some others are dropped,

And the loss of the leaders is manifest keenly.

Then "the rocket's red glare" gives the bravest a scare,

And there's few left to face the "bombs bursting in air" !

'Tis a thin line of heroes that manage to save

The last of the verse and "the home of the brave."

(Rob. Morris Bulletin)
