Hiitorical Sketch Philomathean H. C. S. Socials Chronicle

Some three years ago or more our

society was founded by a few Academy

students. As President Benbow from

the Chapel platform was constantly

urging the new students to join some

literary society, many of them began

to wonder whether or not they were

losing the best part of school in not

joining some society. But if they had

any expectations of being taken in by

the existing societies, they were soon

deceived, and consequently a few de-

cided to organize a new one.

When the fact was announced in

Chapel that a new society was to be

organized, it made older students

laugh in ridicule, we thought. But

tliese new students though lacking the

experience of college training, were

not to be laughed down, and easily .did

affect an orgimization about two weeks

before the Christmas of 1907.

No sooner had they organized with

Mr. Stwally as president, than loftier

ambitions began to crystallize and

with the advent of the constitution

the goal was advancement in social culture, knowledge of parliamentary

law, and the development of the mind

and the power of speech by the "in-

vestigation and free discussion of

many fold topics." The charter mem-

bers knew that they -muse co-operate

and loyally support each other if these

aims were to be attained, even as did

the Greek Amphictyons of old and,

therefore, did they also call them-

selves the Amphictyon Literary So-

ciety. Mr. Luke, a _charter member, very nicely turned these elements of

our origin into a song which has since remained the battle cry—a song of

The Philomathean Literary Society

was established in the spring of '905.

After serious consideration the Owls

their two societies and the Phiioma-

thean Society was launched. 1!i the

fall this new society began its career

with twenty-five charter members

This number was soon increased to fifty.

Each year has proved the excellence

and the ability which our members

possess. The first year two contest-programs were given; one by the

boys and the other by the girls. The

girls were awarded the decislo• in

this. The final banquet and program

closed an eventful year.

The second year of Philo's exist-

ence was even more illustrious than

the first, and is notable as the year

of the H. C. S.-Philomathean debate.

The three who won the laurels for the

Philos were: Messrs. Arthur Marsh,

Willard Anderson, and Mark Freemae.

After this year the banquet and finEl

program, in honor of the 'Philo Seniors, became an annual event.

In the year 1907-8 a contest pro-

gram was again given, this time the

boys won the decision by their orig-

inal portrayal of a "Methodist Cln-

ference."

School opened in 1908-9 with a bright outlook for Philo. The summer

months had been busy ones, especially

for our Philo quartet, who toured the

western part of the state. Under the

able leadership of John Dupertius a

chorus was formed and an entertain-

ment was given.

The year 1909-10 opened no less

ATHLETIC BENEFIT 25 Gents

In the first year of the reign of Ed-win Randall, ruler over the children of the University of Fuget Sound, it came to pass that twelve sisters and brethern formed a new tribe, yea, verily, a new tribe thus came forth.

And the sisters and brethren hum-bled themselves before the king and said, "Oh king, hearest thou the hum-ble petition of thy servants and render unto us a charter, that we may be called the tribe of Boyer."

And the king answered and said, "Be thou blessed in my sight, Oh tribe of Boyer." And they went forth, re-joicing, and new ones were added unto them.

And it came to pass that the king was carried away into a far country, and Joseph Williams reigned in his stead and the love of his people was with him.

Now it came to pass at the begin-ning of the reign of King Williams ,o tt the children of Boyer were scattered over the face of the land, and one of the name of Clulow, Georgina, a Senior, alone remained. And she was sore afraid lest the tribe of Boyer should no longer be a power in the land. But she took courage and gath-ered unto her four new sisters, and verily I say unto you she wrought that which was good and right.

Ai% they labored together as one, and it came to pass that three more were added unto them, and these three were brethren. And they labored to-gether faithfully, but their hearts were troubled for their number was ex. ceeding small.

Now it came to pass after these (Continued on page Five)

College life is fraught with pleasant

experiences and delightful associations.

There are the inspiration obtained by

contact with professors and normally

developed upper class men; the cheer-

ful commingling with classmates and

students of like purposes with one's

own; the mental and spiritual refresh-

ment obtained from the ,Chapel exer-

cises; the pleasure experinced from

listening to the variety of Chapel talks—some of which are delectable,

a few are boring; the interest awak-

ened by the restful perusing of copious

pages of ponderous Latin or melli-

ferous Greek; the pious emotions

aroused while prespiringly devoting a

few hours to some knotty mathemati-

cal problem; and many others too nu-

merous to mention. All these are very precious, but there is one association

which is dearer to the average stu-

dent than perhaps any other, and that

is the Literary Society.

This institution is above all others

able to meet the multitudinous needs

of student life. It furnishes ir splen-

did opportunity for literary exellence;

it offers through its programs a wide

field of research. Every legitimate

phase of industry, every branch of

learning, every fact of science, every

hypothethis of philosophy, every page

of history, every social and economic

problem, every moral and spiritual

truth may be a subject of study, dis-

cussion or presentation.

Training is afforded not only in

study, but in platform delivery, in

declamation, oration, play, and in

music and singing. The excellence in

self-control and graceful manners

thus obtained is invaluable. Then

there is the drill one gets in parlia-

mentary procedure and this is by no

means the least benefit. These re-

sults are obtained if earnest work is

done, and to not do earnest work is

unworthy of a student or a society.

The standards of excellence should

be the highest, the research the most

thorough, the criticisms the most

genuine—no child's play, but the most

honorable effort.

Literary societies are of great value

in the social development -which they

afford. Especially is this true of co-

educational societies. There graceful

manners, courtesy, dignity and the

politeness due to society are there

developed. The non-co-educational

societies meet this need by having

frequent social functions between

brother and sister societies, by that

means achieving the same results.

School life would often be dull if it

were not for the literary societies.

Every student should, if possible, be-

long to 'one, and there ought to be

enough societies in the school to fur-

nish membership to every worthy stu-

dent. It is safe to say that when we

have finished school one of the most

pleasant memories connected with

our Alma Mater will be our association

in a Literary Society.

This is to remind the student body

of a standing offer by President Zeller,

namely: Ten dollars for the best col-

lege song, five dollars for an accepta-

ble new name for The Maroon, and

one dollar each for the best five yells.

Now students, put on your thinking

caps and enter into a keen competition

for these prizes. The song and the

yells we especially need.

The coming city championship track

meet to be held under the auspices

of the Pierce County A. A. League on

March 17, promises to be a big success.

Track men from U. P. S., Whitworth,

Parkland, Academy and the Y. M. C.

A. will compete for honors in run-

ning, jumping and shot putting. Each

organization will enter one relay

team. This relay race will be the

feature event, each man running two

laps. A good deal of interest is being

manifested by our boys. Over thirty

reported to Coach Riley for practice

last week. We have some promising

material and look forward with a

good deal of interest to the final out-

come.

We love to gather here

Coming with joy sincere,

Long may her blessings flow,

From bounteous spring.

Long may her name be bright,

With loyal holy light;

Protect her by thy might,

MISSION STUDY.

R. E. R.

The Y. W. mission study class have

edopted a new plan. Instead of meet-ing every week, they meet only once

a month and one girl gives a review

cf the book she has read. The first

meeting was held Friday afternoon at Miss Druse's home.

Miss Rees gave a report of "Aliens

or Americans," which is a study of

the immigration problem. Miss Miller

gave "The Upward Path," which tells

of the negro. Miss Ford gave a most interesting talk on the Y. W. confer-ence in Japan. But the treat of the

afternoon was Miss Sane's talk. Tea

and wafers were served. It proved

b be a meet profitable hour.

dents, and also Mr. Metcalf, and Miss

Whipple, the only candidate for the

M. A. degree that year. All this ma-

terial, under the able leadership of

Mr. Metcalf, our next president, soon

made our society grow by leaps and

bounds. At the end of the year we

were the strongest in school in mem-

bership, and in music, and a fair rival

to the best societies, in literary pur-

suits. At least well did we maintain

cur own in the prohibition contest and

in the special program, March 21,

1910, the first one given by our society.

At the beginning of this school year,

v.e were in hopes of having another

successful year. But our president

had to resign for The Maroon editor-

ship, and our forces were exerted

more or less in other fields by numer-

ous functions of a growing Univer-

sity. However, our society was rep-

resented in the newly inaugurated col-

lege carnival by a play, "A Proposal

Under Difficulties," and also our deco-

rators won the first prize, a picture

donated by Prof. Simpson.

We have just closed the peaceful

reign of Mr. Grill's administration, the

chief event being a brilliant victory

by Mr. Klebe in the prohibition con-

test. Under the presidency of Mr.

Klebe, we now look forward to an-

other special program April 4, and

steady solid work to the end of the

school year.

Surely, when we can look back over

such a history we members ought to

feel both thankful to Providence for

His kindness, and also inspired to per-

form greater achievements in the fu-

ture.

H. C. S. SOCIALS.

The next society affair was given

in the H. C. S. room on January 19,

when the boys entertained the Thetas

with an evening of mystery. The

noted spiritualist Professor was there

and called forth the departed souls of

Shakespeare, Grant, and Tennyson.

The society rooms were proftisely decorated with H. C. S. colors and

many pillows and pennants enlivened

the surroundings. The nooks were so

inviting that they were immediately

occupied by couples, as soon as the

program was over.

The program carried out by the

spirits was indeed very "spooky" when

beheld in the light of three flickering

candles. Occasionally a litle scream

or half-smothered cry would burst

forth from the girls; but as one girl

expressed it: "What's there to be

afraid of with so many H. C. S.'s

here." The manifestations consisted

of Pt.lui Reading, Spiritualism, Table

Moving, Black Art, Sleight-of-hand, and

Hypnotism. Shakespeare's hat trick

created a great deal of laughter and

all the tricks were interesting. Palm

Reading seemed hardest for the audi-

ence to fathom and the Hypnotism

trick was also "very difficult," to use

the words of the Professor.

When the program was ended the

Thetas (in view of the recent woman's

suffrage law) were allowed to choose

partners and then pick out their supper

from the follow bill-o'-fare:

Flies Wings Knockouts

Beauty Spots Quietus

Lumber Snowdrops

Slush

These were very palatable, however,

and not as bad- as the names would

indicate. After a few yells and songs

we dispersed, with the firm conviction

that such socials ought to come more

eften and last longer. Professor and

Mrs. Scott, Miss Druse, and Professor

Eichholtz ably chaporened the affair.

With the firm resolve to out-do the

H. C. S. boys, the Theta girls planned

a Valentine party, February 14, at the

University House, and well—they

made good. The invitations were in

the form of hearts and when the crowd

arrived they were amazed by the dis-

play of hearts. Even Decker was sat-

isfied, and that's saying a great deal.

The dining table was adorned with red

candelbra under a bower of tiny hearts.

All sorts of "heart games" were played,

but, perhaps, that which was most

heart-rendering was an auction of the

boy's hearts. Each member of the

H. C. S. wrote a description of himself

and of the partner he would like. Un-bidders. Prices varied from five hearts

up to one hundred and five; Professor

Eicholzer brought the highest price,

being bought by Miss Thompson. The

girls later on shot with bow and ar

row at tiny hearts, thus getting their

partners for lunch.

The refreshments were delicious.

chocolate, lady fingers and candy being

served. The writer counted ten kinds of candy and ten kinds of home-made

candy affects the candy-lover's heart.

The evening closed all too soon, so,

after giving several yells for the

Thetas and Miss Druse, who were the

chaporeones, separated.

The next affair of the H. C. S. and

Thetas will probably be a picnic. Of

course we'll have a good time.

A SELF-FED MAN.

A real joke was sprung by a student

at the Western Reserve university

last week. This student suyers from

the stigma of obesity; it appears that

even professors do not love a fat man.

After a particularly unsuccessful reci-

tation in English the professor said:

"Alas, Mr. Blank! You are better

fed than taught."

"That's right, professor," sighed the

youth, subsiding heavily, "you teach

me—I feed myself."

But our destined lot was not to be

one of tranquillity.

The days of distress came. The re-

mainder of that school year will be

remembered as the critical period of

cur existence. Yet our president, Mr.

Klebe, with the aid of loyal members,

with the hearty support of professors,

Benbow, Davis and Pritchard, pulled

the society through. During this pe-

riod were started the small beginnings

of later programs, the fund for a bulle

tin board, and above all the movement

to shape the laws according to the

needs of our growth, which latter

work has not ended yet.

The next fall the notable event was

a challenge to debate by the Altrurians

which finally, after some delay, came

off the next term. ,But In the mean-

time, meetings were adjourned often

'for lack of a quorum, because of the

heavy snowstorms. Then came the

memorable date of March 18, 1909,

when we won our first great contest,

the debate. It seemed to give the so-

ciety a new standing, as possessing

latent strength which only needed de-

velopment, to give results.

In the meantime, however, another

man, Mr. Waggoner, had come to the limelight; and by the help of his par-

liamentary and hustling ability, the

society commenced to grow rapidly.

Chiefly due to Mr. Eichholtz and the

help of some friends we secured a

bulletin board, even yet the most ar-

tistic in the University hall. However,

with the advent of spring, work again

seemed to languish somewhat, thougu Lewis Benbow, the president; Wag-

goner, the secretary, and Mrs. Simp-

son, critic, worked faithfully; and It

was not with the most favorable aus-

pices that we adjourned for the sum-

mer vacation.

In he fall term of 1909-10 only a

handful returned, but it was a bard

determined to conquer. With Wag-

goner again in the chair, they soon

made that term an inauguration to

great things. With that same hustling

activity in evidence, the administra-

tion succeeded in getting most of the

muscial talent among the new stu-

The Maroon PHILOMATHEAN.

favorable for the creditable work of

the literary society and good programs

were the rule, not the exception. In

November "Ye Old Favoritess" was

presented and in March the Philos ar-

ranged an evening for "The House of

Representatives."

Hard work and loyalty to the so-

ciety established an excellency that

is enjoyable. It is an unwritten but

well-known law, that Philos are to

give their best efforts, especially so

in a literary line. This paramount

spirit has been the means of a great

unfolding to each member of what

he is capable of doing. The law is

lost sight of eventually by a con sum-

ing desire to reach a higher standard

of work. Philos have carried this

spirit into student affairs in general.

The percentage of leaders in Christian

Associations, Board of Control, class

organizations, athletics and so on,

have been Philos. Their efficient ef-

forts speak well for their society

training.

Philos are expected to make great

sacrifices in order to attend the pro-

grams. The fines and penalties com-

mittee have very severe laws con-

cerning excuses and reasons for non-

attendance. The word excuse is even

tabooed and the absent one must give

a reason, other than study if he would

escape punishment.

Our social life has always been

unique, originality being displayed in

all the good times that the Philos have ever had. Three annual social

affairs stand out prominently in the minds of all the Philos; they are: the

second degree initiation, which comes on Hallowe'en even; the Christmas af-

fair on the last Tuesday before the

holidays, and the annual banquet in

honor of the graduating members, held

the last week in May. These dates

are cherished by all the members of

our society, and the privilege of meet-

ing together and forgetting the toils

and troubles of school life in the

pleasure of each other's society, is

something dear to the heart of every

Philomathean.

While the aim of a college career

is not a diploma, yet this part of the

course is not unpleasant and these

*written declarations mean much to

the receivers. As this is true in the

college curriculum, so is it also true

in the Philos literary work. The di-

CHRONICLE.

things that one of the tribe of the

IT. C. S. came unto the tribe of Boyer

and said: "Let there no longer be any

enmity between us. Deliver unto us

you• brethren for there be three of

them. Let them come into the fold of

the H. C. S. and take unto yourselves

Lew peoples and let us be called thy

brethren. Go thy way in thine own

tribe but the tribe of the H. C. S.

shall be with thee. The battles of thl ■

tribe shall be our battles and our bat-

tles shall be thine. Our joys shall

he thy' joys and thy joys shall Inc

ours."

And the children of Boyer a.isern-

b'ed themselves and took council and

it came to pass that they went unto

t'- e H. C. S. and said. "Take those

which we do give to thee and • ejoice

and be exceeding glad, for we shall

take unto ourselves new peoples."

And they did this thing which was

right and good. And their tribe waxed

strong in the land and their 1-mder

s: its unto them: "Let us take a new

1 an.e and let us henceforth be called

the tribe of Kappa Sigma Theta and

let us have a new emblem. Let us make for ourselves pins of pure gold,

of beaten work shall they be mada.

And the pins were made, yea, verily

were they made of beaten work with

letters of gold upon them.

And the next year it came to pass

that King Williams went into a far

country and King Benbow ruled in his

stead and King Benbow called the

Children of the University together,

yea, assembled he them and said:

"Take for yourselves rooms," and to

the tribes of the Thetas sand H. C. S.,

"'Fake the uppermost room and furnish

it and with pennants and posters adorn

it "

And the tribes of the H. C. S. and

Theas took council and said: "Let us

^i•l together our players and let them

play before the congregation and be-

hold with the profits thereof our room

shall be furnished. And they did this

and verily I say unto you the room

was furnished.

And when this great work was ac-

complished the leader of the tribe of

Theta said: "Let us rest from this

great work and let us journey to a

pleasant shore, to the house of one

Bessie Brown, and let us remain there

seven days." So in the month Sivan.'

which by interpretation is June, jour-

neyed they hither and great was the

rejoicing among all that people.

And now King Zeller came to rule

over the children of the University.

And it came to pass in the next

year that one of the tribe of the H.

C. S. came unto the tribe of Theta

and said: "Now if it be pleasing in

your sight, oh sisters, let us try our

wits together, yea let us debate to-

gether, and they debated together and

the judges listened to the words of

the debaters and then took council

among themselves and this is the thing

that they reported to the congrega-

tion. "The debaters of the tribe of

Theta, having found favor in the sight

of the judges, are awarded the victory

in the contest."

And great was the rejoicing among

the tribe of Theta, but among the tribe

of H. C. S. was there wailing and

gnashing of teeth.

Now the same year it came to pass

that one of the tribe of H. C. S. loked

upon the children of Theta, and when

he saw Ruth he loved her and it came

to pass that Ruth was given in mar-

riage and all the people said: "Her

name shall be changed and henceforth

she shall be called Donaldson."

And toward the end of this year the

leader of the children of Theta said

"Buy yourselves vessels, of china

stall ye buy them, and I will teach y( a

to adorn them with paint and with

geld, and they shall be for feasts and

rejoicings among your people."

And the children did as their leader

commanded and beautiful are the ves•

sets of china and gold which they

made, and many are the feasts and

celebrations of great joy, which the

children of Theta have enjoyed.

And greatly have the children of the

tribe of Theta prospered and they have

I- axed strong in the land and have

gone abroad and wrought well among

all people, and strong and mighty are

they in the University and the name

and fame of the tribe of Kappa Sigma

Theta shall be handed down from

generation to generation, and great

shall be their numbers, yea as the

sands of the sea shall they be nurn-

lered and great shall be their strength.

"Do you know, my daughter, that

every name means something? For in-

stance, Charles means brave, William

resolute, George—"

"Oh! I know what George means,

mother."

"Well, what is it?"

"George means business. He told

me so last night."—Ex.

ACADEMY CONTEST

LAST TUESDAY

On last Tuesday evening, in th

Chapel, the Academy Declamation

Contest was held before a good sized

audience, and proved to be both in-

teresting and instructive.

There were seven candidates en-

tered in the contest, and all had their

selections well in hand. There was

far more vim to the delivery of these

readings than is often found in such

events, and the audience was keyed

up to a high pitch of interest through-

out the evening. Especial mention

should be made of the musical num-

bers, which were exceptionally well

rendered. Miss Gertrude Holling-

worth and Miss Elsie Moe played a

piano duet, and Miss Grace Anderson sang a solo, both of which were much

enjoyed by those present.

Miss Lora Craig won the first prize

with the selection, "Patsy," by Kate

Douglas Wiggin. Miss Pauline Wiles

We congratulate the contestants on

their showing, and the winners on

their good fortune. The contest was a very even one, and the task of the

judges was by no means an easy one.

The result of the work devoted to this

contest is such as to encourage great-

er efforts in this direction, and it is

to be hoped that the future will see n

constant growth of interest and activ-

ity in the work of which last Tues-

day's program was so splendid an ex-

ample.

DEBATING LEAGUE

TO BE FORMED

/Errangements are nearly completed

forthe formation of a triangular de-.

bating league, to include the Univer-

sity of Puget Sound. Ellensburg Nor-

mal, and Bellingham Normal. A sug

gested form of constitution has prac-

tically been agreed upon, and the or-

ganization is almost perfected, only a

few minor details remaining for set

Bement.

The plans call for two debaters by

each institution, one team remaining

at home, and the other visiting the

rival school. These debates will all

take place upon the same evening,

and will all be upon the same sub-

ject. As each institution will thus have

two teams, these teams will uphold

opposite sides in the debates.

It is not certain as yet whiPer it

will be possible to hold a contest this

year, but if not, the league will be in

splendid shape for an exciting season

next year. The formation of this concerned, and make

league will undoubtedly do much to ward in the development of forensic

encourage debating in all the colleges oratory in this institution.

A COURSE IN LOGIC

This is an optional course for thinkers—people who want to know why? It only comes once a week, so you won't have occasion to "cut" it. This course is for pollege men and women of the University of Puget Sound.

Let us begiri with Clothes—men's and women's suits. A suit may be "flashy" and "flashy" and "classy," but does that mean that it is a good suit? Does that mean that it is stylish—that it fits well—that it is made of quality goods and put together right? No, it does not—at least not according to logic.

Logically speaking then, what is meant by a good suit? Good is merely a relative term and varies with the individuality of the person.' te7refore, to be really good a suit must appeal to your particular taste. The college men and women of to-flay (

N est anything conspicuous which means ridiculousness. They want clothes that

are distinctive spicuous. They want style, quality. goods and fit in anything they wear. We carry suits that will meet y taste in every particular—in short, we carry logical clothes.

Now before you go to "Math" or "Chem" remember this: "Our prices are right"—they are made to fit your pocketbooks. Class is dismissed.
