'Lest We Forget" PHIGRAMS BY MEMBERS OF INDIANA BETA OF PHI DELTA THETA f^m>] WABASH COLLEGE CRAWFORDSVILLE, IND. 1846-1917 COMPILED BY HUGH M. SMALTZ MARION, INDIANA PHI TO PHI T is \^ith pleasure that I present to the liv- ing members of Indiana Beta this coUec- ions of letters. I feel myself a privileged person in connection \^ith the editing of this book for I have had the opportun- ity of reading each brother's story as it arrived. The work has been interesting from the start and my only regret is that I could not publish a letter from each and every brother. Some of you ^ill remember that I sent a letter and two follow-up postals and each one brought some returns. I think if I could have devoted a year's time and called personally on all the brothers, I could have presented to you a complete history of all. How- ever, my most sanguine hopes have been exceeded in regard to replies and a larger proposition than was anti- cipated has been the result. The work may present many flaws to the expert eye, but in anticipation of this criticism let it be known that revisions of the style and method of expression in each letter have been avoided, the object being to preserve each brother's individ- uality. My only hope is that these pages will prove as en- joyable to the good men of Indiana Beta as has been the task of arranging and editing the material. Yours in the bond, i V < I f CAMPUS ACTIVE CHAPTER Of thee, beloved Phi Delta Theta. in glad- some chorus now we sing, And all -throughout this broad dominion, in every land thy praises ring. In thee our hearts are bound together by bonds of friendship and of love, A union which we would not sever, 'tis born in hallowed realms above. Oft have we met in sweet communion, each one on mind improvement bent, And counseling, and seeking counsel, we've many a pleasant evening spent. Where'er we go in this broad nation — where'er a brother's face we see, We always find a warm reception, where'er the place we meet may be. A PHI'S PRAYER TEACH me that sixty minutes make one hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one hund- red cents one dollar. Help me to live so that I can lie down at night with a clear conscience, without a gun under my pillow, and unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. /^^RANT that I may earn my meal ticket on ^-^ the square, and that, in earning it, I may not stick the gaff in where it does not belong. PnEAFEN me to the jingle of tainted money and ■-^ the rustle of unholy skirts. Blind me to the faults of the other fellows, but reveal to me mine own. /^^UIDE me so that each night when I look ^^ across the dinner table at my wife, who has been a blessing to me, I shall have nothing to conceal. Keep me young enough to laugh with my children. A ND when come the smell of flowers, and the " tread of soft steps, and the crunching of wheels out in front, make the ceremony short and the epitaph simple — Here Lies a Man. 1P4A LiTTiiS 1Q17 ICJ IVJ BUI TA DUI 1 /I / PHI TO PHI 1846 ""ELZROTH, CHRISTIAN WEAVER, Retired Merchant.

William Taylor Hart, son of Gideon Blackburn Hart, born at Maryville, Tenn., and of Hetty Taylor Hart, born in Shelby county, Ky., was born at Sand Hill, four miles from Columbus, Indiana, December 20th, 1833. He attended school in a log school house until he was 16. Then he attended an PAGE TEN 1861 Academy at Columbus two winters. September, 1855, he went to Wabasli Lolie^e Crawfordsville, Ind, and entered the preparatory department. He entered college Sept. 1857 and graduated June 26, 1861. He taught school at Sanelmia,^ Ind., the \^anters of 61 and 62 and three months at Columbus the fall of '62. He graduated from Lerne Theological Seminary Tilay 11, 1865. He received a call to preach for the Lynn Pres. church in Huron county, Ohio, and began his work there May 28th. September 7th he was married to Miss Chloe Barbar, at Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, Ohio. From Cincinnati he and his bride went to Columbus, Indiana, to visit his mother, and then Sept. 13th he was ordained to the gospel ministry by Madison Pres- bytery. At the same place and by the same Presbytery ,April 1864, he had been licensed to preach, and for four months, in the^ summer of 1864,' he sup- plied the Presbyterian churches of Wabash and Lagro and on the most of the sabbaths during his seminary course had preached in churches near Cincin- nati. For sixteen and one-half years till Dec. 1st, he remained a Lynn. Then for four years and a half he was pastor at Bloomville and Melmore, Ohio. From May 1st, 1886, to April 1st, 1903, about seventeen years, he was pastor at Huron, 0. Then from April 1st, 1903, until June 1st, 1904, he was engaged in the anti-saloon work in West Virginia, but was still a mem- ber of Huron Presbytery. June 1st, 1904, he was called back to Huron Presbytery, to the care of some of the smaller churches. Sept. 1st he moved to Monroeville where he preached till Oct. 1st, 1916, when he was honorably retired from the active work of the ministry, aft-er fifty-one and one-half years since his ordination and of his connection with the Huron Presbytery, at the age of 83. Rev. Hart has been four times Moderator of Huron Presbytery and four times commissioner to the General Assembly. In 1907, all unexpectedly to him- self, he was chosen Moderator of the Synod of Ohio. And without any solicitation on his part or of any previous knowledge by him, in 1909, the University of Wooster conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. *HIGGINS, WILLIAM REYBURN, A.

My dear Mr. Smaltz: As you will see by the enclosed clipping your letter came just too late to be answered by my father. He would undoubtedly have written an inter- esting letter to the boys as he had the gift. The last Wabash Record has a notice of his death and an old comrade sounded taps over his grave in Lin- coln when we laid his ashes away. Yours sincerely, (MISS) JAY L. WEBSTER. JOSEPH R. WEBSTER DIES; FUNERAL HELD TODAY Assistant Attorney in Department of Interior Served in Civil War. From the Evening Star, Wednesday, January 10, 1917. Joseph R. Webster, assistant attor- ney in the solicitor's office of the De- partment of the Interior, civil war veteran and former attorney general of Nebraska, died at his residence, 1366 Harvard street northwest, yes- terday shortly after noon. He was seventy-seven years old. Funeral services are being held at his late res- idence this afternoon. The body will be sent to Lincoln, Nebraska, for burial. "Gen," Webster, as he was known to his hundreds of friends and associ- ates in Washington, was in the gov- ernment service about seventeen years. He was bom in Bombay, India, in 1839, his parents being missionaries there. Upon their return to this country his father took up a home- stead in La Grange county, Indiana, where he farmed, surveyed land and taught school. Served in Civil War. At the outbreak of the civil war Joseph Webster was a student in Wa- bash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana, and with most of his class enlisted in a company formed by Capt. Lew Wal- lace, who later became Gen. Wallace, the author of "Ben Hur." At the end of the ninety days for which he first enlisted Mr. Webster returned to col- lege to receive his diploma, and re- enlisting, served throughout the war. His regiment wag in five of the great battles of the west, and was greatly thinned out in the course of its service. Mr. Webster rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and for a time was in command of his regiment. At the close of the war Mr. Web- ster went into cotton planting, but hi& crop was ruined when the Mississippi river inundated his land. He then took a course in law at Iowa State University. He later was admitted to the Nebraska bar and opened offices in Lincoln. He was made attorney general of Nebraska in 1871, and af- ter the close of his term was judge of Lancaster county for a number of years. During his term as county judge he was professor of equity jur- isprudence in the law department of the Nebraska State University. Entered U. S. Service in 1899. Mr. Webster was appointed an at- torney in the Department of the In- terior here in 1899. His knowledge of land law and skillful handling of cases won him rapid promotion. One of his most intimate office associates was the late Judge Emory F. Best of Macon, Ga., an ex-Confederate officer. He was a member of the Loyal Leg- ion and Burnside Post, G. A. R. He was a member of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and took an active interest in the affairs of the local alumni club of the fraternity. He also was a mem- ber of the Phi Delta Phi Legal Fra- ternity. PAGE TWELVE 1863 *BARLOW, GEORGE WILSON, A. B., A. M., D. D. Died January 1907, De- troit, Mich. *BLINN, JOHN JAMES PERRY.

Raymond Avenue, Pasadena, Cal. Dear Smaltz: T take advantage of a rare, rainy day, rare in Southern California, to ans- wer your long neglected letter. There is not much I can contribute to your book- let which will be of any interest to any outside of the few surviving members of the fraternity who throve in ante-Civil War times — in one of the four colleges to which I was attached at various periods of my college career, Franklin, Wabash, Indiana State University and Michigan University. I attended at Franklin in about 1857-8— Wabash, 1858-9. Michigan 1859- 60-61. Suffered a hiatus during the Civil war 1862 to 1865. Then I entered Law School at Indiana State University 1865-6, and graduated in law at Ann Arbor in 1865-7. I am reputed to have been born on this planet in 1842, but have questioned the accuracy of that rumor till lately, as it would miake me more antiquated than I have felt myself to be till compelled to acknowledge the convincing arguments of certain rheumatic twinges I have associated in other people with real maturity. Now because I happened to be born in Old Terre Haute I am accredited with being a full fledged Hoosier, a fact of which I have ever been proud. You will probably have observed that there are others. It was my good fortune and enthusiasm to he attached to a chapter of Phi Delta Theta at each institution which I attended either by joining or chartering and to us it was great sport to circumvent the vigilance of the faculty where we were under ban. At Franklin, my best loved chums were W. R. Hardy, George Grubbs and Thomas J. Morgan. They all made their mark in after life. Eli Hamilton was my room mate at Bloomington. At Old Wabash there was a fine coterie of typical young Americans — amlongst them the Blacks, General Charles and Captain William, Harley Ristine, Jas Gookins, Lycurgus Railsback, John Blinn, James Carnahan, John Clelland, etc. At the University of Michigan the list grew too large to scan, but they were a lot of jolly good fel- lows. I have little to say of myself except that I have been fortunate in having known a great many great and good people and received from every source kind- PAGE THIRTEEN 1864 nesses and recognition beyond my desserts and have kept tired trying to be sufficiently thankful for the many blessings I have received and trying to pay back to others some of the benefactions I could not reciprocate to those who have been so good to me. At Wabash College I incidentally received from Captain Blinn and General Lew Wallace a superficial military training that enabled me to help myself and serve the country as I could not have done without it and yet I do not favor com- pulsory training in the schools. I entered the 85th Indiana Volunteers, John Baird Colonel, and was pro- moted to captaincy by brevet ' ' for distinguished and meritorious services. ' ' We first served in Kentucky and Tennessee under Thomas and Rosencrans and later under Generals Joe Hooker and Butterfield. I was on General Ben Harrison 's staff while he commanded the 2nd Brigade of the 3rd Division of the 20th Army Corps. For awhile I was on General W. T. Ward's staff. Most of our brigade was captured at Thompson's Station, near Franklin, Tennessee, and had the distinguished honor of suffering for our country in ' ' Lib- by Prison," about which cluster memories of events better forgotten than nar- rated. But enough of war. How devotedly do we wish the present one was over. After graduating at Michigan University, I opened a law office at Des INToines, Iowa, and soon formed a partnership with Stephen Sibley, a jurist of conspicuous ability under the firm name and style of Sihley & Harbert. A year or so later, Mr. Sibley moved to Chicago and left me with a large and lucrative business. I then took in as a partner Mr. J. S. Clark and the firms of Harbert & Cark and Harbert, Clark and Kingsbury were continued till I moved to Evanston, Illinois, in 1873, and began practice in Chicago, where I continued with varying success, sometimes alone and part of the time in the firm of Har- bert & Daly a practitioner of great ability till I retired from practice about 1907 and moved to Pasadena, California, my present home, which I thoroughly enjoy. I am and have been lately, confining my activities to home life, civic service and the amenities of life, as Mark Twain says, "in an unaustentatious manner as be- fits a quiet American citizen. In fact Southern California seems to me to be an ideal place for persons who would grow old moderately and keep up their activities in things worth while. Everybody has heard of the delightful climate here, but not everybody knows so fully of the superior class of citizenship which is wrought out in this final crucible of all the states the melting pot of all nations. There is a willingness here apparent to try all things and hold fast to all that proves good. Temperance, woman suffrage, initiative, referendum, recall, direct primary, municipal ownership and such like good things^ — ^untrammelled by conventionalities or precedent. "Hoosiers" constitute a large percentage of the population. In fact Pasadena was originally known as ''The Indiana Col- ony. ' ' In 1870 I married my boyhood friend, Elizabeth Boynton, with whom I became acquainted while I was attending at ''Wabash." She is still my fireside friend and faithful companion, still as ever engaged in and assisting me in the work of civil service and social betterment, a faithful home-maker and an advo- cate of universal peace at home as well as abroad. We have been blessed with three children^ — one our son Arthur of blessed memory who was called beyond at the very threshold of his splendid young man- hood, two daughters — Corinne and Boynton the mother of Harbert, William and Elizabeth, three tots for whose present and hopeful promise we are duly thank- ful. To the frat boys old and young I send cordial greetings and trust that the PAGE FOURTEEN 1864 "actuaries" of our fraternity may in the future as in the past ever keep before them the unofficial motto, ''esse qiiam videri," along with that more stately of- ficial motto which 1 cannot at this time repeat.

Dear Sir: Your letter in respect to the proposed book or booklet was received and the following cards. I intended to respond but have been unable to on ac- count of a disability which befell my hand three months ago or more. The improvement under treatment has been so slight that I have dropped the use of the pen when it is not necessary. I cannot write the letter I would like to and as it is I write only a few words at a time without stopping and I can- not compel my hand to do what I want to do with the pen. After being in the pastoral congregational for twenty-five years, I was Dean of Tougaloo College, Tougaloo, Mississippi, for the colored people, for twenty years. I had to give up this work last year through failing strength. I am now here repairing my strength and hoping for such work as I may be able to do at seventy-three years of age. I do not know who is living of my old comrades at Wabash. I send my greeting. I have not been so placed since I left college as to be associated with any chapter of the fraternity or group of its members. I cannot write more. Sincerelv yours, CYRUS HAMLIN.

It was a noble set of fellows with whom it was a rare privilege to be associated. Family reasons led to my leaving Wabash for Marietta in 1866 and I graduated at Marietta in '68. But I have always cherished affection for old Wabash and for Phi Delta Theta. I studied Theology and became a college professor. Am now professor of the Bible in the Y. M;. C. A. college in this city. In 1875 I married Emma Frances Atwood. We have four children. The three boys are all Harvard men. The daughter is a Wellesly graduate. My hob- bies are tramping the woods and hills for nature study and the study of mod- ern languages. My chief interest is the imjprovement of religious education. Yours in the bond, W. G.

Dear Sir and Brother; — This should have received earlier response. Though some fifty years have passed since I was actively associated with the Phi Delta Theta organization, I remember distinctly, yea keenly re- member, the splendid times we used to have at Crawfordsville; I lived with my uncle just in the edge of town; there were in the family a number of "Phis": sometimes when it came our turn to furnish the ''eats," the hencoop would furnish a good fat turkey, which we among us would induce an old trusted servant to prepare for the feast; other things which were also raised on the farm would likewise be furnished, etc. Have lived here for the past forty odd years working hard in the prose- cution of the practice of medicine, having followed in the footsteps of mjy Sainted father; have always had enough to eat and have been fairly well PAGE SIXTEEN 1868 dressed; never, knowingly, and wittingly, killed anybody who had entrusted themselves to my care; but no doubt have made some egregious blunders. Have a little something left over; am nearing the age of three score years and ten; and hoping to be able to see the 'Svheels go round" until I get to the one hundred mark, after which time I believe 1 would gracefully let go.

I shall try to comply with your request and give you a short history of Mr. DeFrees' life. He was born on a farm near Goshen, Ind., August 7, 1838. His father died when he was eight years old and he found it necessary to work out his own education. He was educated at Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Ind. While first a student at College, he united with the Presbyterian church, and, at the time of his death was a member of the 1st Presbyterian church of Indianapolis, Indiana. During the civil war, Mr. DeFrees was in Washington, D. C, associated with his older brother, John DeFrees, who was appointed the first Public Printer by President Lincoln. While there Mr. DeFrees enjoyed the friend- ship of many of the prominent men of the time. While living in Indianapolis, he was employed at the Atlas Engine Works PAGE SEVENTEEN 1870 as Mechanical Draftsman and Expert Engineer, being with this company for 34 years. Six years ago he had a fall from the effect of which he was unable to continue his work. He resigned his position and moved to Reliance, Va. From this fall resulted a tumor that caused his- death. He was a member of the Indiana Engineering Society, was a public spirited citizen, interested in Charity, Church, Educational and Civic im- provement. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Ella M. McGuffin, a teacher m the public schools of Goshen, Ind., and three children, Mrs. Brondell L. Larrick, of G-ore, Va. ; M^rs. Ira K. Gruver, of Reliance, Va. ; and Sergt. James S. D. Frees, of Battery A, First Va. Field Artillery, now at the front. He also leaves seven grand children and two sisters, Mrs. James Frazer, widow of Judge James Frazer, of Warsaw, Ind, and Mrs. Johnathan Mather, of Mid- dlebury, Ind. Mr. Rollin E. DeFrees died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ira K. Gruver, at Reliance, Va., on August 11th, aged 78 years, 4 days. He was a man of exceptional character and ability, was often referred to in his home town as the "walking encyclopedia." A short funeral service, conducted by Rev. J. R. Collis, of the U. B. church, Reliance, was held at his home on Sunday afternoon and on Monday the remains were taken to his early home, Goshen, Ind., for interment beside those of his father and mother. Hoping you may glean something from this, Respectfully, MRS. R. E. DeFREES. SEWARD, FREDERICK DWIGHT, A. B.; Clergyman. 3871 Arlington Ave., Los Angeles, Cal.

M., B. D., D. D.; Congregational Clergy- man. Jacksonville, III. Dear Smaltz; I am a member of the most famous class that ever graduated at old Wa- bash — that of 1871. I am happy that this claim cannot be questioned as it gives me my only assurance that I have not lived in vain. From Wabash I went to Yale and studied theology, that is I studied there as I did at Wabash, with the result that in seminary as in collepce I led the class — if you start at the right end. With a B. D. sheepskin in my carpet bag, I went to Willsboro, N. Y., and tried my prentice hand on the unfortunate villagers. Like early christian martyrs they endured the trial for nearly two years, when patience ceasing to be a virtue, I was impelled westward as far as Logansport, Indiana. Here I did the "droppings from the sanctuary" for a period of five years. Then an impulsion like the former lifted me over into Springfield, Illinois, where I sunk in the mud so deep that it took them ten years to pry me out. When freed I slid back east as far as Conneaut, Ohio, where the flukes of my anchor held on to the shores of old Lake Erie for a twelve years more. Again the winds blow, the anchor drags and before the blasts I am driven back into Illi- nois once more where for fifteen years I have slept and ate in the ecclesiastical shack at Jacksonville. From here, whether I go up in a chariot or down in the belly of a whale, it is somewhat premature to state. At any rate it is time. The lights went out and the curtain drawn on "The Melancholy Tale of Me." ROSWELL 0. POST. RISTINE, WARREN HENRY, A. M., M. D.; Physician. 418 W. Wabash Ave,, Crawfordsville, Ind. Dear Brother : The stamped envelope makes it obligatory on me to comply with your re- quest ; and then, the opportunity may never come to me again. Believing as I do that there is a current in the tide of men's affairs, which taken, etc., will say, mine has been the tame and uneventful life of the village doctor, and of not much interest to any unless it be to some of my old time brothers in the Phi Delta Theta, and probably most of these are too senile to be roused to interest. I was born, and make no claims to anything extraordinary on that account, on February 3rd, 1850, and so am entitled to recite ancient history. I belonged to the class of 1871, probably the most distinguished that ever entered or exited from Wabash College, and worse, I had the high honor, after a spirited contest, of being the class orator ; and truly in those days I was some orator, and all along this has been a great help to me, especially in my obstetric practice. I might add, parenthetically, that I did not reach the goal on graduation day, tho the col- lege kindly gave me an M. A. degree ten years later for superior attainments, or for some other reason, which up to date I have been unable to fathom. In my pene year I was inducted into the Phi Fraternity with great eclat PAGI] NINETEEN 1871 and solemnity. Those were dark days for the Phis, not exactly on account of their new associate, but we were all poor; it was epidemic (you see it comes natural to use miedical terms) in the fraternity. We held our meetings in attics and caves of the earth, like the Knights of the Golden Circle, but on some unusual or state occasions we met in my father's law office, surrep- tiously, and there we would regale ourselves, and wallow in a welter of mince pies, peanuts, and lastly but greatest, cider of an ancient brew; this did in- deed cheer but not inebriate, to speak of. Even at this late day, it warms the cockles of my heart to revert to those days when we escaped from the catacombs to that feast of comradship and excitement about the smoking coal oil lamp in that musty law office. Those who met there were the pioneers who blazed the way for the hosts of Phi Delts to come after. After getting thru college, one way or another, like most all men who make a real quarter sawed success in life, I taught school for three months, ample time, as it seems to me, for one not over ambitious. Then I entered on the studies of my profession, graduating at Bellevue in 1877, since which time, in the words of the late M. Twain, I have taken life easy, in this vici- nity. In serious vein, it has fallen to my lot to attend to the very rivers brink, almost everyone of that illustrious comtpany of men who composed the faculty of Wabash College, from 1860 to 1890; Mills, Hovey, S. S. Thomson, McLain, Tuttle, Campbell, and Henry Thomson, masters all in their day and generation. Their like we ne'er shall see again. On May 28, 1878, I was married to Martha Summerville Frazer, of War- saw, Ind. We are the fond parents of five children, two boys and three girls, all married except the young^est, a boy of 23. My old comrades will be interested in knowing I am the proud grandfather of six, but draw the line on the great grandchildren. Both boys graduated from Wabash, one in 1899 and the other in 1915. To my sorrow neither of them were Phis. Both are in the army, one a West Point graduate and a Capt., and the other a second Lieut., with a commission of recent date; both in that watchful and waiting phalanx, which is to keep P. Villa out of Washington. You ask as to my hobbies; they are a numerous brood, but I will mention only two, bear hunting and polo. I have sometimes thot this hunting, fight- ing strain accounted for the martial spirit of my sons, but we are a family of fighters especially your and my brother Theodore. Now you say "put punch into your pen," a poor place for punch indeed, but whether in this short and simple annals of the poor village doctor, you find the punch you plead for, is another matter. I trust the punch you administered me will act as well on others, and that the bundle of letters you hope for will be forthcoming, and will bring echos out of the long past like the gentle murmlir of lost music. You probably made a mistake when you said, "Remember, brevity is not a requisite." Yours in the bond, W. H. RISTINE. ^WHITEHEAD, WICKLIFFE CONDIT, A. B.

Dear Phis : When I became a member of Indiana Beta of Phi Delta Theta in 1868, there were but a small group of boys, but their cordiality and brotherhood wfere big enough to make up what was lacking in numbers and in equipment. That same strong spirit of brotherhood and helpfulness has been its corner- stone and its chief joy throughout these years. As T stop from time to time, when attending meetings of the College P>oard of Trustees, I always find a warm welcome from the active members at the Frat House, notwithstanding I am personally almost a stranger. These cordial receptions are among my chief pleasures when back at ''dear Old Wabash." In the early days, we had no club house. Our individual rooms in the old dormitory, now South Hall, served the purpose. Our meet- ings were lively — even hilarious, and we relished our peanuts, pop corn and apples quite as much as you now do your more pretentious banquets. We were jealous in those days, as you now are, of the moral and scholarly standing in the college and in the community. Sic semper sit.

My Dear Brother and Friend of the Phis: The Mc Councils, several generations back, came from Ireland and settled in Pennsylvania, while the Beemers were Germans and settled in Virginia. My father Robert, and my mother Eliza Beemer, were natives of Ohio. T was born Oct. 29th, 1842, in Cedarville, Ohio, on "The Bloody Grounds." In 1849 went into then — the forests and swamps of Jay county, Ind. I was not content and soon returned to Ohio and began life's battles for myself. Everybody was kind to me then. It was no trouble to find a welcome and home anywhere. When the girls and young ladies called me little Ira. It was my own home anywhere. I went from place to place from the time I was some seven years old until on April 14th. I was in Lebanon and on the first call I enlisted in the army and until the beginning of the Atlanta campaign, I was mostly engaged as a drill master. I served in that "Sherman's hundred days battle" from Chattanooga to in sight of Atlanta, when I was sent back to the field hospital, thence to Marietta, Georgia, and after about ten daj^s on back to Knoxville, Tennessee, and in about three months I was sent home. But recovered sufficiently to join my command at Pulaski, Tennessee, just as it started to fall back to Nashville and was in the battle of Franklin and Nash- ville. In the North Carolina campaign I was disabled on the 10th of March, 1865, in the battle of Wisesfork, near Kingston, N. C, and in two or three months was sent home. I worked to earn my way and attended school in Muncie, Indiana. In the fall of 1866, I came here and entered Wabash col- lege, spending three years in the preparation department and four in the col- lege. I graduated B. A. with what has sometimes been called "The Famous class of 78." Then I went back to Muncie and read law in the office of Major Waller Louse for one year, then returned to Crawfordsville and went into the office to read law with Kennedy & Brush. To earn my board I worked PAGE TWENTY- ONE 1873 on the Crawfordsville Journal, served as court house bailiff and did the city and other civil engineering, together with the county surveying, for a number of years. I did engineering and superintending of the constructing of ditches, bridges, roads and streets, sewers and buildings. I was manager receiver of the Crawfordsville water works. My old army hurts getting the better of me, I gave up the engineering and did for several years, devote my time to general contracting. I have been retired for several years. I was married to Ilettie D. Powers, the descendant of one of the old pioneer families of this place. There were born to us three sons and one daughter, but they are all dead and I am left alone. My boy, Fred, was electrocuted in San Diego, Cal., Jan. 2nd, 1914. I received my M. A. about 1875. My home is Crawfordsville, Ind., 111% North Washington street. I appreciate the task that you have undertaken in loyalty to the Phis, J hope all the other Phis have responded promptly. Memory brings back many pleasant hours and dear, familiar brotherly faces of those seven old college years. I have lost track of most of them and would be glad to know where they are now. Most respectfully in bond, IRA McCONNELL. *McDONALD, JOHN WILLIAM. Died May 27, 1912, New York, N. Y. RIPLEY, WARWICK HAWLEY, A. B., A.

" I graduated in 1873, at age of 22, a classmate of Thomas R. Marshall, and though an active party Republican, voted for Marshall in his race for Governor and Vice-President, believing and feeling that the elbow touch with classmates and friends was greater than the ties of parties. I married in 1878 at the age of 27, Miss Emily Meigs, of Lafayette, Ind., the daughter of Charles D. Meigs, who moved his family to Indianapolis at time of my marriage. I had one child, a son, Charles D. M. Ripley, who is now an electrician in New York. At time of marriage, prosperity was promised me as a practising lawyer in Indianapolis to which place I had removed from Terre Haute. My wife was an invalid for ten years and died. I have succeeded and prospered in everything, save saving money, which I found it impossible to accumulate. My fad is chess. This I ergoy and never play during business hours. My games have been pub- lished at home and abroad and players from the East and West frequently visit m.e to play. I love my family, m7/ party, my fraternity and my country and fellow men and make sacrifices for all. I frequent the Y. M. C.

Dear Brother Phi Smaltz:— Your letter of Jan. 7 found me so busy. I have not had a moment to even be courteous and acknowledge same. Pardon the delay. PAGE TWENTY-TWO 1873 How can I, as Feby. and March to be more full than January — (too bad for Phi to be ''full"— but let us trust of good things!) How can I in few minutes at my command, write history of "wandering alumnus of Old Wabash — these 44 years since he received, from beloved Dr. Tuttle, his diploma in 1873! (?) Cannot. Go here in — a circular (lecturelist) to glean what you can from it — and card or two. Been back and spoke four times to my dear Alma Mater — one occasion the Center Presbyterian church packed — dear Prof Campbell (of blessed memo^ry) presiding as I one of "his boys" (1868 to 1873.) After first 10 years — 1876, I left New York Union Theol. Semy. (when it was orthodox) as graduate. I spent in Home Missionary work in Minn, and Colorado. Pastor at end of 5th year of First Presby. church, Leadville, Colo., 2d in size of state — salary $2,700. East a year or two after 1886, then in 1889 called to be professor in Waseda, Univ. in Tokyo, Japan, (see circular here in) and Mrs. Stanley to preach in Presbyterian Guild School. Indepen- dent of our board as to salary — yet on Saturday and Sabbath worked with our Presbyterian brethren. While in Japan we built a chapel in our yard. After several years there, we came home via India, Egypt, Holy Land and Europe, girdling the globe. Mrs. S.'s health failed and so came home before the seven years ended. Besides pastorate of seven years of 1st church, Atlantic City, since I have traveled 151,000 miles in 42 states and Canada, lecturing to Chautauquas, Y. M. C. A.'s, churches, etc. Now 68 was 24 when I left Wabash, 27 when I graduated at N. Y. Seminary as preacher. Not only "long faced preacher," but "round faced lecturer" and "square faced teacher" — have I been in 44 years! Here on 26 acre fruit farm we bought after coming from Japan we enjoy as our home in our old age — soon fully here. I still occupied, as you note on card in many ways — happy always in labor of the Lord. School work dear to my heart. Had two children-— boys. One taken home when he was about 10. Other married and in busi- ness in North Dakota. We here overlook the Hudson and enjoy it. On one occasion our good Phis a few years ago at Wabash had a fine reception for me in their Chapter house. Remember it well. Ten years ago, possibly. With all best wishes and thanking you for taking so much interest in gather- ing our Phis on paper, I am cordially your, FREDERICK J. STANLEY. STEVENS, JOHN SHAW, Commercial Agent, C. & 0. Ry. Co. 723 Grasse Bldg., Union League Club, Los Angeles, Cal. Dear Brother: Replying to your circular letter received some days ago, in w^hich you ask for the story of my life, beg to say that while my life has been very pleas- ant and happy, it has been free from anything eventful and nothing has oc- curred which would be especially interesting to others. Soon after leaving college, I entered the railway service and have been in that line of work since with the exception of two years which I spent in California doing nothing but trying to regain my health. Was with the Wabash Railway from 1874 to 1897 and have been with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company since 1899. Have been telegraph operator, train dispatcher, chief train dispatcher, PAGE TWENTT-THREE 1873 train master, master of transportation, assistant general storekeeper, superin- tendent of telegraph and commercial agent during these years. Came to California the second time on account of ill-health in 1910 and as this splendid climate agrees with me perfectly, expect to make no more changes of residence. Have not come in contact with any of the ''Old Wabash" boys for years, but often wonder what has become of them. Am looking forward to the receipt of your contemplated book with a great deal of pleasure and hope that you will get many responses from the old timers. Have never married and do not know that I have any hobbies. Have forgotten everything I ever knew about the Phi Delta Theta includ- ing the grip, and am quite sure I could not gain access to the lodge room with- out the aid of a jimtmy. Understand that the boys now have fine buildings in which to hold their meetings while in the old days we used to gather in some brother's room in the old dormitory. What memories cluster about that dirty old building with (to quote old Doc Tuttle) its parabolical curves on each side of the entrances. Faithfully yours, J. S. STEVENS. *STUART, THOMAS ARTHUR, A. B.

Mr. Hugh Smaltz: You ask for a word from a brother Phi. What a troop of memories your request calls up. What a fine bunch of Phi's we had at Old Wabash away back in the seventies. If we of that older day could all be together again, what an interesting hour we would have. But many of them have gone to the silent land and all are scattered. Some Phi events of my college days stand out in memory with great vividness. On one occasion there was a trial in the court house at Crawfordsville and the two lawyers pitted against each other on the case were Benjamin Harrison and Dan Yoorhees. All the stu- dents cut the classes that day to see those great lawyers handle that case. Harrison was a Phi in his college days (Miami University) and our boys put a Phi pin on him which he wore during the whole trial and afterwards he visited with us at our Phi rooms. Of course the event was a marked one for the Phis and gave us pleasant memories for many a day. Another event of our day at Wabash was the Phi National Convention held in our town. A fine lot of fellows came from various colleges and the banquet in the evening at a dollar a plate — that was before the era of hisrh cost of living — ^was a social event of the first magnitude and gave increased prestige to our society. After graduating from Wabash in '76, I attended McCormick Seminary and graduated from that institution in '79. I was ordained as a Presbyte- rian minister in April of that year and for nearly 38 years have been doing pastoral work in my native state of Miehisran. I have had some of the privi- leges and honors that fall to the lot of ministers. I have been three times a commissioner to the General Assemblv. In 1883 at Saratosra, N. Y. ; in 1893 at Washington. D. C. ; in 1903 at Winona Lake, Indiana. My home life has been pleasant in the highest degree. In 1882 I married Miss Jennie Hill, of Mundv. ]\rich. We have four livinor children. One boy died at the age of 12. several years ago. Two of our children are collesre graduates. One son (reorge Henry is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineer's. He is in the government service, now in Montana, eneraged in reclamation work. Our daughter Grace graduated from college in the Domestic Science Course and is now teaching in Wisconsin. Our daughter Puth completed her soT)ho- more year in college but at that point a youner fellow of the town persuaded her that she had education enouerh and now she is engap-ed in caring for his hom.e and in looking after our only grandchild, a lustv lad of eleven months, who I hope will some day make a good Phi. We still have one daughter at home with us. The most outstanding pleasure event of m.y life was a trip abroad. In 1882 mv church srave m.e a six months' vacation and I crossed the big water and visited foreign lands. I spent ten days in Eg^^pt, thirty days in Pales- tine, thirtv davs in Italy the beautiful, a week in Geneva and vicinity, three weeks in Paris and several weeks in Brittain. The trip was pure nleasure from beginning to end and its memories have been a perpetual satisfaction since. * One day in June I was taking lunch on the bank of the river Jordan and another group of people near by were doing the same. After lunch a young man of that partv sizing me up as a minister asked me to baptize him in the river Jordan. I demAirred at first but noting his ursrency and on question- ing him was satisfied that he was a proner subipct for bantism I consented and we both went down into the Jordan and with my hand I dipped up the sacred waters and sprinkled them on his head in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We cam.e up out of the water and we parted, each ffoing his PAGE TWENTY-FIVE 1876 own way. A few months ago I received a most delightful letter from that man now a successful christian merchant in western Canada. That event by and in the Jordan stands out in both our minds as one of the red letter events of our lives. One often in newspapers and other reading matter sees references to events happening in other lands. As I see such references to the places I visited abroad, there is an added interest in its reading. I can remember that in Egypt I was on the top of and in the interior of the great pyramid. That T took a ride on the river Nile in a sail boat and that I traversed about Half the distance of the Suez Canal in a small steamer. When Palestine is thought of I can remember ''that I went in swimiming" in the Sea of Galilee, in the river Jordan and in the Dead Sea and spent a whole week in Jerusalem and its vicinity. The memory pictures of scenes in London, Edinburg, Glasglow, Bristol and other British cities are a perpetual pleasure. Well I will be very glad to receive your little booklet and know about the Phis of Old Wabash. Here is my heartiest good wishes to them. Hoping for all of them the greatest success and highest happiness of love. Cordially, CHARLES D. ELLIS.

Born in Beaver county, Pennsylvania, when eight years old removed to Noble county, Indiana; reared on a farm and spent a number of years fight- ing mosquitos, clearing the land, cutting cord wood and other like stunts. Attended the country school when the Hoosier Schoolmaster was still in evi- dence and sometimes it required three teachers to stay by their jobs long enough to finish a three months' wdnter term of school. The main requisite in those days for the teacher was to be able to keep the older boys from carry- ing him out, in the winter time, and dumping him into the snow. After some years I went to Albion High School, and afterwards to Ken- dallville, Indiana; then spent a year at Lagrange Collegiate Institute in northren Indiana. In the fall of 1869 my steps were directed to Wabash College where I remained a student until 1871, when on account of ill health I left the college, by the advice of physician and friends. I soon began the study of medicine PAGE TWENTY-SIX 1876 under the direction of a physician, as was the custom in those days; and at- tended the Indiana Medical College during the sessions of 1873 and 1874. Married the daughter of Rev. A. G. Martin, then pastor of the Presbyterian church at Pierceton, Indiana. Three children were born to us, two daugh- ters, and a soq who died in infancy, so there are no ''prospective Phis" in our family. Practiced medicine until 1881 during which time I delivered an occa- sional address on temperance, and Sunday school work, and aided in several local temperance campaigns during the Murphy Blue Ribbon movement. In tlie summer of 1881 we were living in Michigan City, Indiana, and was asked to supply on Sabbaths an Independent church at Ross, near Michi- gan City. This church gave me a call to the pastorate with a view of uniting with the Congregational Association of Indiana. I did not accept their call, but by the advice of Rev. Smith, then pastor of the Congregational church at Michigan City, I entered the Chicago Theological Seminary in the fall of that year. I remained there until the spring of 1883. While there I preached at Bowmanville, a suburb of Chicago, on Lincoln Avenue, organized a church there, and was ordained to the Gospel Ministry by the Congregational Associ- ation of Chicago June 8, 1882, at the earnest solicitation of the church. On account of the death of Mrs. Whetzel's father, then living at Thorps Spring, Texas, we resigned our work at Bowmanville and moved to the Lone Star state, and took up the work which he laid down. At the suggestion of Presbytery of Trinity, with which we had united, we were soon appointed by the Home Mission Board to take charge of the churches of Cisco and Brecken- ridge, and did a general Missionary work in that region, preaching to the cowboys on the plains and sometimes riding a distance of 150 miles with team to supply a church one Sunday, camping out nights, and having experiences that are interesting reminiscences. In 1886 I was Commissioner from Trinity Presbytery to the General As- sembly which met at Minneapolis, Minn. Later was sent as Commissioner from Presbytery of Council Bluffs. In the fall of '86 we moved from Texas to Neola, Iowa, and ministered to that congregation until called to the church at Avoca in May, 1888. Called from there to the church at Utica, Ohio, May 1, 1891. November 1, 1895, be- came pastor of the church at Guthrie Center, Iowa, ■ where we labored until the spring of 1902 we accepted a call to the church at Appleton City Missouri, beginning work there May 1, 1902. Called to Anamosa, Iowa, in the spring of 1906 and began preaching there June 1st. From there called to the church at Creston, Nebraska, and began our ministry there in June, 1912. Closed our work there the last Sunday in Septem.ber, havinsr been called to the pas- torate of the church in Plover, Iowa, and began preaching here the first of October, 1916. We have not sought anv honors, and not many have been thrust upon us. Honorary titles such as D. D. L.L.D., etc., have not been conferred upon us and we have been contented and happy without them. We have fought the battles that have confronted us in life with all the vigor at our command, and now as we are going down the western slope toward the shadows, we are not looking for the setting of the sun, but for the brightness of an eternal morn- ing, as the mariner looks for the golden dawn on the eastern horizon. We send joyous greetings to all Phis under whose notice these lines shall fall, and wish for them the best things this world can give and an eternal life with the redeemed in the beyond. PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN 1876 The good wife has been the joy and crown of my life as we have gone down life's pathway together, and she still lives to make the home here worth while to her husband and to the people where we have lived, and her children call her blessed. Fraternally yours, C. M. WHETZEL. WHITEHEAD, JOHN MEEK, A. B.; Lawyer. Jackman Block, Janesville, Wis. Dear Brother: Your circular letter, *'Phi to Phi," has this moment been read, and pur- suant to your earnest request, I proceed at once to treat the subject to which it refers. I will give the matter of my life as it comes to me at this minute, and you can use such portions of my narrative as you see fit. I was born on a farm near Hillsboro, Illinois, July 29, 1852. That was one of the years of the great heat, when the corn crop was practically a fail- ure, so I was not started out on corn bread. I removed to Hillsboro in my young childhood, where I lived for a few years and then we went to a farm. There I lived until I came to Wabash College in the fall of '71. I remained there one year. I was in the poene class and passed the examination for the freshman class before I came away. I was initiated into the fraternity near the close of my first term at Wabash. T left Crawfordsville for Easthampton, Massachusetts, in the latter part of July, '72. I entered Williston Seminary and took another year of prepara- tory work for college at Williston. I took the highest oratorical honors there, the Elwell Gold Medal. I matriculated at Yale in the fall of '73 and grad- uated with the class of '77. I did not miss a recitation during the entire col- lege course, thanks to my good health. I did not work for standing at Yale, nor make any special record for scholarship. I just struck my gait soon after entering and maintained it to the end. I never was conditioned while in college. I went from Yale to Chicago and taught school for one year in Ravenswood, Illinois, and then entered the law office of Leaminaf & Thompson in that city. I maintained my connection with that office for five years. I was married July 22, '81. The next year I came to Janesville, Wisconsin, to practice my profession on my own hook, and here I have staid ever since. I devoted my- self exclusively to mv professional work for about ten years. I have two children, a son born January 29, '84, and a daughter bom May 11, '87. The son's name is Philip Barrows, the daughter's Dorothy May. I had a brother seriously injured by a fall at Rockford, Illinois, and my eyesight became som.ewhat impairpd during the last davs of his life, with the long strain of waiting on him. The next year my wife's health broke down and she died, and for six months I did not know what a night's rest was, so that I suffered a severe nervous prostration of the eyes. I have never fully recovered from the results of that period, but for several years I was unable to read much and could not read at all by artificial light, so that I began to turn my attention to other activities and became less devoted to my profes- sional duties as a lawyer. In 1896 I ran for the state senate. After a sharp contest I was nomi- nated and, living in a strong Republican district, my election was assured. I was re-elected three successive terms, and served in all sixteen years. During my service in the legislature, I worked assiduously and had a good deal to do with all the important legislation of that period. The Republican party was unfortunately riven asunder by the advent of TjaFollette, and my convictions carried me into the camp opposed to him. I PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT 1876 ran against him for governor in 1902. It was a 'forlorn hope, and of course I was defeated, but I took the matter philosophically. I felt that my hold upon my wing of the party was such that if we ever recovered control of the party, I should be taken care of according to my desires. About a year ago I became a candidate for United States senator, thinking the time opportune to assert my claims, but the acute situation with reference to the liquor question ruled me out of the running very quickly. The only fight made on me as a candi- date was due to my well known temperance convictions. But I bowed to this gracefully and played the game to the end, supporting all the candidates on the ticket. Now 1 intend to devote my attention unrestrictedly to the sup- pression of this traffic. I do not know that I shall ever again be a candidate for office or be active in politics, but there are many avenues of activity open to me all the time, and I shall look for opportunities to use whatever ability I possess for what I believe to be the best interest of my day and generation. I was appointed a member of the Perry Victory Centennial Commission and took part in the erection of the Perry monument at Put-in-Bay. Of this service I am very proud. I am now president of the Wisconsin Branch of the League to Enforce Peace. I am very much interested in this activity. We have a good start toward organization here in Wisconsin, and I am pleased to note that public sentiment seems to be rapidly crystallizing in favor of this plan, both on this and on the other side of the Atlantic. I am a corporate member of the American Board and I have been identi- fied with the National Council of the Congregational church for a number of years, in many ways. I am at present a director of the State Congregational Association. I have never lacked for all kinds of eleemosynary positions and honors and labors. Both of my children took the degree of A, B. at Beloit college. My son tHen went to Yale and pursued a post-graduate course, taking the degrees of M.A., B.D. and Ph.D. He was chosen a fellow in the American School of Classical Studies at Rome, and spent three years and a half abroad. He has attained some distinction in his profession. For the past six or seven months he has been on the border as a member of the Wisconsin National Guard. He will be home tonight, resign from the Gruard and take a position on the faculty at Yale as soon as he can get there. I am very proud of his success and his attainments in scholarship, and very much pleased indeed with the opportuni- ties presented to him now by reason of his connection with Yale. My daughter is married and lives in this city. Her husband is A. C. Hough, who is at the head of the Hough Porch Shade Corporation, a very pros- perous manufacturing industry. My wife died March 15, 1888, and I have lived in widowerhood ever since. I have never written any books, although I have written many addresses and not a few newspaper articles; but I have never gathered things together nor edited anything for permanent preservation. I have traveled somewhat extensively in the United States, but not out- side. I am devoting myself to the practice of my profession. I enjoy fine health and am glad I am alive.

Dear Sir: As I am informed and believe, my first experience with the affairs of this world began on Sunday, April 7, 1850. I would not undertake to state all the good and bad things that have hap- pened to me since. One of the good things that happened to me was going to Wabash College in the fall of 1872, and staying there until I graduated in the spring of 1877. Soon thereafter, one of the other good or bad things that happened to me (which I have never been able to determine), was engaging in the practice of law at Marion, Grant county, Indiana. The best thing, however, that ever happened to me, was my marriage to Emma Bobbs, daughter of Dr. A. J. Bobbs, of Marion, Ind., July 3, 1879. To us were born Esther Strange and John T. Strange, Jr., the latter dying in his infancy. Esther is now the wife of Dr. G. G. Eckhart, of Marion, and they have a little son, William V. Eckhart, of whom Mrs. Strange and myself are very proud. The college has conferred on me two degrees, one on graduation and the other since, neither of which can I now read or understand. The people of Grant county did either a good or bad thing to me which, as yet, I am not able to say. They sent me to the State Senate fromi 1906 to 1914, and I declined a third term to keep the other lawyers from getting what business I had left. I might speak of noble deeds and excellent virtues, but in looking around, I find these noble deeds fully performed and excellent virtues far superior to mine monopolized by others. Suffice it to say, in closing this bit of autobiography, as a fellow hunting a lawyer, asked mfe if I was an ''Eternity at Law?" I admitted it. I am an Attorney at Law, Marion, Ind., where I will be exceedingly glad to meet all Phis coming this way. With best wishes for yourself and the Fraternity, I am, Yours very truly, JOHN T. STRANGE.

Fargo, North Dakota. Dear Brother Smaltz: It was my original intention to make my start in life and my permanent home in Colorado. The Centennial State was attracting much ajttention about the time of my graduation. The incidence of my acquaintance with Alfred Dickey resulted in a change in my plans. He had made several busi- ness trips to Dakota Territory (as it then was), became interested in its re- sources and promises of rapid growth ; the things he said had much to do with influencing me to turn my face in this direction. Students of the '70s will remember Mr. Dickey as one of the proprietors of the popular book store of the town. He later removed to North Dakota and became prominent in its political and business life. I owe much to my close association with him and have never regretted casting in my lot with the pioneers of this state. I prac- tised law at Jamestown for eleven years and there found my first and chiefest treasure — my wife whose maiden name was Lizzie E. Wells. Removing to Fargo in 1892, I entered a law partnership as junior in an old and well estab- lished firm. While that was a quarter of a century ago, my interest in pro- fessional work has not abated. My firms practice is chiefly for corporations and includes direct and first charge of all legal matters affecting the opera- tion of more than fiifteen hundred miles of railroad lines. It is a kind of work which I have always enjoyed. On the side and to some extent as a, diversion, I have interested myself in business. Its problems are always en- gaging and their solution, as influenced, controlled or affected, among other things by legislation, presents to a lawyer, a study of fascinating interest. Associations thus arising have created for me many friendships and given me a place at the Directors table of a number of corporations. I have never participated actively in the conduct of any business enter- prise, my experience being limited to considering and studying problems of policy, management, etc., such as are presented to a Board of Directors. Yet I have always liked business and believe it offers openings unusually attractive to promising young men with plenty of ginger and pep. My wife and I have but one child — a daughter now married to a lawyer and living in Fargo. I have traveled at home and abroad, visited every state in the Union ex- cept one, never held a public office of any kind, save county attorney for two years, never sought any other public office and have been a life-long Republi- can, but never a strict partisan. I recall my college days and associations with a peculiar sentiment of affection. My thoughts often go out towards those I thus knew in the inti- mate relation of college and especially fraternity life. No possible achieve- ment of a business or professional career could efface or dim the recollection PAGE THIRTY- ONE 1878 of years spent in preparation under conditions such as those I enjoyed in the Wabash of 1872-1878. The Fraternity association, while it lacked in those days, the dose touch of life which the Chapter House assures, was yet a strong influence for good in shaping my College years. It is a mistake we do not have more frequent reunions. I have attended upon Commencement a number of times but never without disappointment in the matter of meeting those I most wished to see — the men who made up the College world in my own time. The most of my own classmates I have never seen since graduation. I hope through the medium of Brother Smaltz' enterprise, I may renew acquaintance with many of them and that I may learn things of interest regarding old-time Phis. Affectionately in the bond, J. S. WATSON, Class '78. p. s. — Grive my best to John T. Strange — a man I love. WILSON, WILLIAM PATTON. Colorado Spring s, Colo. 1879 *APPLEGATE, CHARLES CARROLL, A. B., A. M., LL. B.

Dear Brothers: Several of the members of our class, that of 1915, left "Wabash at the end of our Freshman year, and went to other schools and universities. In my case, and I am sure it was the same with others, it was not because we did not like Wabash, but because we could not get the work there that we desired to take. Chas. Roberts and I entered the University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 1912, graduating from there in 1915 and receiving the degree of B. S. in Eco- nomics. Both of us were in the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. I spent most of the time during the summer vacations loafing or taking trips. I spent the summer of 1914 in Europe where we had the usual experi- ence of other Americans who were caught there at the opening of the war. The summer of 1915 I spent in the West. During both of these trips I met many Phis. After finishing college I went to work in the First National Bank of Rochester, Tnd., where I am at present assistant cashier. I spent about six months of last year traveling with the State bank exam- iner. During these trips over the state I met many of the Wabash Phi Delts. I am not married. I am always glad to see any Phi Delts from Wabash, so when you are in Rochester, drop around and see me. Yours in the bond, PERCY SMITH. STEINBAUGH, JAMES GORDON, Clothing Merchant.

Dear Brother : I like your plan for a booklet very much and will add what I can. After I left Wabash in the fall of 1914, I went to Illinois and graduated from the U. of I. college of Agriculture in '16. Was appointed County Agricultural Agent of Morgan county, which took effect Jan. 1, 1917. Single (some of the boys say not for long). Am enjoying my work; always glad to meet or hear from a Phi. And I run on to one nearly every day. Most good men — way up in business, are alwavs glad to say, I'm glad I'm a Phi. Yours in the bond, T. C. CRAVENS (Alias Peach Cravens.)

Dear Brother: Having been away from the chapter but seven months, you'll want only a few words from me. But I hasten to send these in together with congratu- latory thanks to you for starting this stunt, and hearty hopes that you'll be able to carry it through. At present I'm located at The Western Theological Seminary, at Pittsburgh, Pa., but this will probably be shifted to McCormick Seminary at Chicago next fall. I spent the summer down in Bloomfield, Indi- ana, with a bunch of fine Phis, enjoying the extreme privilege of staying in the Cravens home that gave to Indiana Beta, Frank, Carl and George Cravens, each one of whom honors as well as is honored by the sword and shield. If any good Phi is hungry, or thinks no one can set a meal on the table that he can*t do justice to, let him drop in at the Cravens Real Estate office at meal time. Have been to a number of the Alumni luncheons here in Pittsburgh and am glad to record an active and loyal crowd of Phi graduates. Though I'm getting stronger for my work every day, and though it brings new activity and joy with every experience in it, recollections of chapter days get always more vivid, and with them comes a deeper appreciation of my debt to the gang thru those four fine years. As I talk with non-fraternity mien, men that have been big in college life, men whose personality compels respect, men who got the limit from college because they gave their limit to college, I see the value of the chapter, and the truth in our open motto. Yes its great to be a Phi and greater still to be from Indiana Beta. We all owe her more than we can pay, but its a challenge to give what we 've got, and if it proves worth while, display the sword and shield. But I believe you asked for a letter instead of a sermon, so I'll quit. Anyhow, I've said what I'd say to my room-mate if I saw him, and that's what you asked for. Strong in the bond, E. W. LUCCOCK (LUCY). MAXWELL, FRANK OSTROM, A. B.; Government Educational Work. Linga- yen, Pangasinan, Philippine Islands. ])ear Brother Smaltz: I'm quite a little distance away from the true center of the universe and my letter will probably be a little late in reaching Indiana. Yet I hope that it arrives early enough for it to be put in your historilet. I am at present a school teacher in the high school of Pangasinan Prov- ince on the west coast of Luzon. I am not married and consequently refuse to divulge her name. There are no prospective Phis in this vicinity unless we decide that brown is white, which I do not recommend. This place has seen me since June of last year, and except for ten weeks, beginning the first of April, will no doubt be the cemetery of my educaitional efforts until April, 1918, when I intend to return to the United States. During those ten weeks vacation I expect to spend four weeks in the Mountain Provinces among the famous Igorots. A party of four young Amer- icans, all of whom came over here on the same ship last May, will make the trip. We are going afoot as this is the best method of travel over the moun- tain trails and we anticipate a journey of about two hundred miles, if we last that long. There are many Americans who have been in this country and made the hike, but the territory is practically as it was when the Spaniards came to these islands almost four hundred years ago. It is a trip well worth while, being said to be among the most interesting to be found anywhere, and I regret that there are not four or five brothers in the bond to go along. At the completion ol this trip, it will be my pleasure to spend about three weeks PAGE ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN 1916 in the temperate climate of Baguio, the former summer capital of the Islands. It is relatively cool there the year round and it is an excellent place to recu- perate one's pep after a few months in the tropical lowlands. It is then my hope to make a sea trip to the southern island and Mindanao before returning to Lingayen to start school the middle of June. There are several Phis in the Islands, but so far it has been my misfor- tune not to run across any of them. As a general proposition, I believe that the Philippines are not live enough for a member of Phi Delta Theta, and consequently they do not stay here long. For my part, I intend to leave as soon as my contract is up. The tropical climate is debilitating and if one stays very long, he is likely to get as lazy and indolent as the natives. The trip over here for two years is well worth while, I think, but if any brother Phi contemplates spending his life here or elsewhere in the Orient, it is my belief that any kind of a position with a private firm will be better than a government job. There are marvelous opportunities in the Orient in every line of endeavor and out here it is the general belief that the future struggles will be for the trade of the Orient, which so far has only been scratched. My principal hobby is reading and scratching, that is scratching while I read. We have everything that bites from bedbugs to mosquitoes, and what portion of the body one kind of insects overlooks, some other is sure to make a meal of. Work takes about five hours of five days a week, and the resit of the time is mine to eat and sleep, which I do in abundance. We have chick- en once each day (they cost 15c each), fish once a day, and eggs for break- fast. All of our milk comes from a can and probably never saw a cow. We eat butter forty days out from San Francisco and our bread is full of bugs, though made in the ''sanitary bakery" of Manila. To compensate these draw- backs we have plenty of papayas, mangoes, bananas, fresh coconuts, and other tropical fruits which are delicious. Each night a person sleeps about eight hours, and each afternoon an hour or so more during his siesta. There is a feeling of sleepiness practically all of the time. As for the future of the Filipinos, it is hard to predict. One's first im- pression of these people are extremely good, but the longer one stays, the more one realizes that our great experiment here is only begun. There is no doubt but that America has accomplished marvels in a short space of time, but the Filipinos still lack almost everything that an independent nation must have. It seems to be the consensus of opinion among the older Americans that early independence simply means the loss of the work that has been accomplished, but it is not for me to express my own sentiments. So far I have escaped cholera, bubonic plague, leprosy, smallpox and those diseases common in the Orient, and except for getting fat am in a good state of health. I hope you are the same. Yours in the bond, FRANK OSTROM MAXWELL. NICHOLS, FRED CLIFFORD, A. B. Oxford, Ind. Science HaH, Madison, Wis. Dear Brothers: I am one of the latest that can claim the honor of graduating from Old Wabash and of being classed among those who are listed as "old men" at the Phi Delt house. Having been graduated from the old school with the class of 1936 there has as yet been scarcely time enough to have spent a checkered career, like getting in jail or getting a corner on eggs, but I will submit my little mite in order to hear from those who have something real worth while to offer. Perhaps thru them I may get an echo of what Phi Delta Theta meant to me while in college. PAGE ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN 1916 Early in the spring of my senior year Prof Chapman aided me in secur- ing an assistantship in Physics at the University of "Wisconsin. It looked good to me and yet there had been whispers of plans in which I was not the only one concerned, and you can realize what a battle I had to pull away if you know "The Girl." However, with much kind fatherly advice to guide me on to higher and yet higher planes of study, I at last decided that it was the Northland for me, and with this decision made, I became a graduate from Wabash. The world was before me offering — ^who can tell? What did I do in the summer? You know Ed Brown and Cliff Peterson, both Wabash men. Well they easily convinced me that Central States Life Insurance would make me more money for the effort expended than — ^plowing corn, at least. I took them up and made plans to tear up things in my jfield. Taking a rate book and all too many application blanks I went into my home territory with the expectation of writing all my brothers, friends and neigh- bors. The problem of getting to CraWfordsville as often as I desired was to confront me, and Frank Maxwell '16 was to solve the problem for me. "Jitney," he said in the close confidential way that one Phi speaks to another, "I have just the thing for you. As you know, I am going to the Philippines and will sell you my motorcycle cheap. She is better than new and will take the hills like a bird. Come, take a ride with me and look her over." Frank is a pretty good salesman and it took him only a short time to sell me the bike, for you see, I wanted it almost as badly as Frank wanted to sell it and that was going some. I would like to shake you by the hand, Frank old boy, even though the motorcycle would not track until I bought a new frame for it. I suppose that you are having a time with the pretty Philippino girls and wishing that you were back here where the Fishers are not all men. She is being true to you, Frank, and would cross the water with a little coaxing. The summer went all too fast and the time came for me to pack for the trip North. After one has been with the fellows for four years, and they have taken a grip on his heart thru their associations and good fellowships, there is something really akin to home sickness that comes up inside when the ' ' Good Byes" and "Good Lucks" are being said. Our class of seven had been very close together during that last year and I will remember them above the oth- ers, of course, altho they were accustomed to ride my neck when we had fish balls too many times in a week. Do you remember the time that we had oleo- mar in place of butter and the fellows thought it was fine country butter until some one saw the cook mixing some with coloring, and then oh how sick it made them. T miss the old place and yet the Wisconsin chapter has welcomed me and offered me all the privileges that they enjoy without the customary bulletin board dues. I have attended several dances given at the house here and find them a great bunch. They are very democratic and full of life and pep. We have a bowling team that can take a drop out of the Sigma Chis and Betas once in a great while but the basket ball team is holding down the cellar posi- tion. Our one chance seems to lie in a winning base ball team. I was present and saw the Badgers defeat Chicago and tie Illinois in foot ball, and by the way I also witnessed the boys crawl back home after Minne- sota had run themselves ragged piling up a 54-0 score. Would that Wabash could see fit to play Wisconsin next year in foot ball. There were rumors that we were to be taken on instead of the Haskell Indians, but it seemed to fizzle out. One thing is admitted here now, they are all glad that Wabash will not bring that wonder team of basket shooters to this section of the country. At the present time we are kept pretty busy conducting exams for the PAKE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTEEN 1916 Engineers and Agrics and giving out ''Long meter sticks" as well as reading "Verniers" and explaining to the Home Ec girls how the little molecules of a gas can exert a pressure. The favorite expression of farewell that the Agrics use is, ''Well, old boy, so long. Don't work the horses to hard." This is a good old world to live in if we come up smiling when we are down and bring some one else up with us. I am strong for this plan of Brother Smaltz's and intend to give it my heartiest support. We will all re- ceive vastly more than we can hope to give and I am anxious to get that little booklet and read of the ones who have made good, for of course, one is not ex- pected to publish his failures. Here's to a closer union of Phi Delta Theta and her sons, may they exemplify the spirit of the bond and be true to its pledges. Yours in the bond, F. C. NICHOLS. NOBLE, THOMAS BENJAMIN, Jr., B.

During the rushing season eleven men were pledged and since that time five of them have been initiated. Not only were we well fixed in regard to numbers, but the house had been improved during the summer by the placing of hard-wood floors throughout the entire upstairs, making the house look more like a palace than the old fraternity house to which the old men were accustomed. We now have the best house by far of any of the fraternities at the college and realize that we owe a great deal to our alumiii. During the year we have had good luck in all things which we have under- taken. Brother Sims and Phikeia Walter won letters in football. Brothers Wilson and Harding were elected to class offices, Brothers Pirtle, Wilson, Wright and Sims were elected to offices on the board which edits ''The Wa- bash, *' Brother Pirtle is editor-in-chief, and a relay team composed of Broth- ers Sims, Burns and Cravens and Mr. Nicholson won the Western College Re- lay Championship at the Illinois Relay Carnival which was held at the Uni- versity of Illinois on March 3. Brother Sharp passed the examination for the Rhodes Scholarship but did not get the appointment. He is still eligible for the appointment and we hope will get it next year. Work has been started on the new gymnasium and it promises to be ready for use by next fall. The completion of this building will be a big boost for the college and will also help the chapter in rushing quite materially. Several changes have been made in the curriculum of the college for next year. The courses have been changed from four to three hour courses and classes will be held upon six days of the week instead of the five as heretofore. Many new courses have also been added to the curriculum. The requirements for graduation have been changed from one hundred and twenty-eight hours to one hundred and twenty hours. A system of quality credits has also been decided upon. Military training, compulsory for the two lower classes will also go in effect at the beginning of the next college year. The new gym will be used for an armory. Athletics have been very successful this year. The football team lost but two games to Notre Dame and to Purdue, and the basketball team lost but two games, to the Illinois Athletic Club of Chicago and Michigan Aggies. Pros- pects look very good for similar success in these two branches next year. Track prospects are very good for this spring with Brother Sims as captain of the team and the baseball team promises fair. In the concerts given so far the Glee Club, on which there are nine Phis, has received very favorable mention. The Club will take a ten day trip dur- ing the spring vacation. The chapter is looking forward to an exceptionally good year next year. Only two men will be lost by graduation but there will no doubt be others who will drop out for various reasons. Indiana Beta next year will have three managerships of athletic teams, editor-in-chief of ''The Wabash," several let- ter men in different branches of athletics, and of course the best bunch of freshmen in the college.

Crawf ordsville , Ind . , May 4, 1917 Mr. Hugh Smalt z, Marlon, Indiana. Dear Mr. Smaltz: Replying to your Inquiry in regard to the progress of Wabash College in late years, allow me to say that I am intimately acquainted with the college only in the last ten years. During this period the endowment has increased from 1500,000 to practically |1, 000, 000. Four new departments have been added, and the salary of professors has been increased 30/^. It is worthy of note also that 30^ of all the men who have graduated from the college have been graduated from 1907 to 1917. Many internal changes have happened in the meantime, including the reduction of special students to a minimum of four or five, and a decided raise in the requirements for graduation. With kind regards, I am Very sincerely yours, President Wabash College. PAGE ONE HUNDRED TWENTT-THREE PRESIDENTS OF THE COLLEGE Blihu Whittlesey Baldwin, D. D 1834-1840 Charles White, D.

L. Mackintosh, in a talk to the students of Wabash college. He said he did not believe Wabash students would be backward in taking their places with the fight- ing men. He asked all students to hand in their names, if they were will- ing to enlist, should a call to arms come. He also asked that no more dances be given by the students, but that the money be turned over to the Belgian relief fund. Continuing his talk on the wiar, he said it was inevi- table, but that it would not be a great one unless Japan became involved as a German ally. PAQB ONE RUNDRim TWBNTT-FOUR HUGH M. 9MALTZ JOHN R.
