the University Club at which were

gathered about thirty Kenyon

men, residing in and about Cin-cinnati. The following Monday

and Tuesday he spent at Minne-apolis, the guest of II. S. Gregg

of the class of '81. While in Minneapolis he addressed the East and West High Schools of the city and attended luncheons

given in his honor at the various

clubs. The next day the

presi-dent visited and addressed the

High School at Racine, Wisconsin, andalso the St. John Academy at

Delafield.

Thursday the 28th Dr. Peirce

spent in Chicago where hp _visited the Chicago Latin School and the

Chicago University School, while

on Friday headressed the students

of Howe School atHowe, Indiana. Returning to Chicago on Satur-day the president attended the

meeting of the Chicago Alumni Association at the Chicago

Kenyon-Wesleya-n

Kenyon lost the first away-from-hom-e

game to Wesleyan at Delaware on April 23d. 8 to 3.

Daniel the first man up for Wesleyan hit to deep right center for four sacks and this rather put

a_cronip inthe ginger of the battle. Before tho inning was over three

more runs had been chalked up which proved enough to win.

Hayes, after the first inning, steadied down and pitched very creditable base ball. The weather

was cold and disagreeable and

first-clas-s base ball was out of the

question.

Hardy allowed the Methodists

too much freedom on the bases

and their pilfering of 13 bags had much to do with the result.

We have a _return game with

this same team and it is to be hoped that here in Gambier we may administer a good drubbing

to St. John 's team. The score : Kenyon AB R II PO A E Kinder, 2 2 0 0 2 1 0 Williams, 1

Wooster 7 _Kenyon 3 On April 2flth the team journey-ed to Wooster and the best they

could pull out of the fray was a 7 to 3 defeat. Hayes pitched steady

ball and should have deserved

more than came his way. The

in-field erred at critical times, how-ever, and this fact coupled with

the ability of the Woosterites to

slip their bingles in at the oppor tune time proved enough to put the game on the wrongside.

It must be said thatthe team hit

in hard luck. Time after time

healthy swats fell directly into the hands of some waiting fielder. Young, especially was

unfortu-nate in this respect.

This was Wooster's opening

game and for a green team they played good ball.

Some

of

the Changes

Pro-posed in the

Foot Ball

Rules

A

Discussion.

The committee on

intercollegi-ate football seem to be having a

pretty hard time in revising the rules. On the one side stands popular opinion, the possibility of

state legislation and yellow

journalism, while true lovers and students of the game all over the country on the other hand protest against radical changes which tend to make the game too

com-plex and spoil its good points.

The next meeting ofthe committee

occurs May 13-1-₄ when the present

suggested changes will be revised

and adopted.

Already criticism is coming from every quarter against the present suggested revision. The

prohibition of the flying tackle

has caused a great deal of

com-ment as itseems thatthis will tend

to put a premium on weight and cut out the good light man. The

runner and tackle, will also be

liable to more serious injury .from

hard compact than in former

cases and it will be much harder

to stop open field running.

The most visible change

sug-gested is the division of the game

into four periods. AVhether this

will do the good intended is

ex-tremely doubtful. It is a recog-nized fact that when a person walks four or five miles he is less

tired at the end if he has stuck

to a fixed stride. It is rare indeed that a player in good healthy

con-dition can not stand the strain of thirty minute halves. Coach

Fogg of Case says in regard to this,

"I

donot believeitis serious-ly contended that the thirty minute halves were too long or strenuous. I believe that the

re-peated warmings up and cooling off of the players will be very detrimental to the play and the

men will be more liable to injury from exposure than if only two periods were played."

It is understood that if there are four divisions the ball will be

put inplay at the beginning of the

second and fourth divisions

exact-ly in the position in which it lay when the preceeding half ended.

The committee has endeavored to prevent the tackle being pound-ed as hard as before by requiring

(3)

seven men on the line and

elimi-nating mass plays. This means

the full-bac- k must buck the line

alone and as another revision puts an end to pushing or pulling a man carrying the ball through the

line, the half backs will have to go

ahead or not al all. An increased premium will be put on the quarterback, by the elimination of

the rule which required him to go five yards on either side of the center before cutting into the line.

This also means that there will be more attempts at end running. It is probable that the defense will be arranged, to a great extent, as in former years.

Everywhere there is a keen

interest in the outcome of the

t.t.pfi meeting _and! when the new rules have once been

adopted every coach will have an

equal problem in solving and interpreting them before next fall.

The six changes that have been practically agreed upon by the rules committee are:

1. Removal of five-yar- d

re-striction on quarterback runs.

2. Seven men will be required on the line of scrimmage.

3. Diving tackles is to be pro

hibited.

4. Game is to be divided into four periods.

5. No pushing or pulling of

runner with the ball.

6. Limit onsicle kick to twenty yards beyond line of scrimmage.

Under the change proposed for the forward pass the ball must be thrown and received behind the line of scrimmage instead of

heav-ing the ball down the field as it

sometimes was worked.

The visitors scored a run in the

base on balls. Keister hit a pop fly to short left which WTilliams

bingled and then threw high over

second trying to get a force on

Funk. The latter took third.

Then followed in quick succession a hit, two errors, a base on oaus,

an infield out, (this was only the

second one), and Cardillo hit a man. When the smoke cleared away the visitors had 5 more runs and the game.

Kenyon made several valiant

attempts to tie up the game and in one instance came within one of

the Westerville total, but that was

as far as it went.

Cardillo pitched a steady game

A Victory

.That boresome losing streak

was finally given a set back one

(4)

name of May 7th when the

Uni-versity of Cincinnati was handed

a 7 to 2 beating in six innings.

The victory was especially well-receiv-ed

since the visitors had just handed awfid drubbings to

Wit-tenberg and Denison on Thursday

and Friday and had fully deter-mined to make a clean sweep of

their three day trip.

Kennedy's wildness lost him the

game which was settled in _the first inning.

Downe and Bently were hit with

the ball. Capt. Hall erred on

Young's bounder and the first two

hitters scored, Young going to the

middle station. Axtell beat out an infield hit and Lord walked.

The three did nothing while Kin-der fanned and Oardillo popped to the third baseman. Kennedy

here took a handy, however, and

forced in a run by walking Crip-pe-n.

He then came right back

and struck Hayes out, ending the

inning. These three runs were enough to win and the visitors

never after that looked especially

dangerous.

The game was played in a steady downpour which finally stopped things in the sixth inning

with no one out and three Kenyon men on the b;igs. Despite the

wetness Hayes had perfect control

and pitched by far his best game of the year. The team played a

steady game behind him and he deserved his win. The playing of Downe, the new second sacker,

both in the field and at the bat

was a joy to the small crowd which braved the weather to see the game.

ITEMS

Of Interest from Harcourt Place Seminary

Dr. Gillette of Columbus who

lectured recently for the girls of

Harcourt, on the "Care of the Teeth," is a recognized specialist

on prevention of dental diseases. The subject is one which deals with unpleasant truths for the

most part and so is not, as a rule acceptable to the general public. However Miss Gillette succeeded

in interesting her audience and imparted many valuable sugges tions.

On Saturday, April 30th, a

matinee musical was given in Miss

Beckwith's studio. A number of

invited guests were present and enjoyed a beautiful and generous program.

Tuesday afternoon, the third of

April, the Gymnasium class, under the direction of Miss White, held

the annual gymnasium exhibition.

Miss Stone, assistant principal

of a prominent girls' school in Rome, Italy, lectured before the

school on Friday morning. May 5th on the general subject of art, taking forespecial delineation, the many treasures oiid monuments of

ancient and modern Roman art

which are to be found in and

about Rome. Combined with a

sincere appreciation of her

sub-ject, Miss Stone possessed the ability to speak on it in a way

that was very entertaining.

a

Theme.

The following was handed the editor as the first authentic

ac-count of Ilalley's comet since its appearance in this neighborhood:

The evening, or perhaps better the morning was rather raw and

cold for the month of May. One could see with remarkable clear-ness the magnificent constellations

as they twinkled and glimmered

in the black heaven.

Three Freshmen turned in at the

college gate en route for their

rooms in Old Kenyon and bed. Far

off to the east beeyond the great

valley ofthe Kokosing a low range

of hills was barely visible.

Sud-denly one of the members stopped short, pointed through an opening

in _{the trees toward the east with} an exclamation of surprise. The

other two stopped also and

to-gether they looked in silence for

a moment.

There, just above the horizon appeared a magnificent white streak of light, trailing from an unusually bright star. To the

Page Three right the morning star was just clearing the black hills, still

fur-ther, the moon, in a wonderful crescent shape glowed blood red.

"Ilalley's comet."

"Well boys we might as well

en-list, another war is due."

"What!"

"Past history shows that." "Well, lets take a good look at

her. None of us will ever see her again."

The chimes re-echo-ed across the

silent campus and aroused the Freshmen from their reverie in

space back to the possibilities of

earthly sleep and the three walked

on down the path.

AN OPPORTUNITY During the next few days there

will be held in Gambier a national convention of one of the

fraterni-ties with a chapter here. The Collegian is not certain whether this is the first time that a

na-tional convention of a fraternity

has been held in Gambier, but we

are sure that it is the first for many years; and it is certainly the

first since the fraternity national convention has grown to its present magnitude.

The Collegian most earnestly

hopes that all Kenyon men will unite in making the stay of the visitors in Gambier, which must

be necessarily short, as pleasant

as possible. Representative col-lege men from all over the country, to manyof whom Kenyon

is but a name, will carry away

some definite impressions of our

college and its life. Let us all

unite to make these impressions as

pleasant as possible.

Aside from this more or less selfish reason, however, there is

the fact that we Kenyon men have always taken a pride in doing our best to entertain visiting college men. Let us not now fail in this, the greatest opportunity we have ever had.

COACH SEAMAN'S DEATH It is with a great deal of regret that the Kenyon student body heard of the death of "Budget"

THE KENYON COLLEGIAN

Seaman, coach at Western

Re-serve University. During the past few years the Kenyon-Re-serv- e

games have proven some of

the best events of the football schedules, a fact due perhaps to the good natured rivalry between the schools. Into this spirit of

rivalry Mr. Seaman always enter-ed with all his heart. In all these contests Mr. Seaman proved

him-self a good loser and winner and Kenyon men have always had a

warm place in their hearts for the Reserve coach whom they have learned to admire and respect.

It

is with deep regret therefore that

weheard the newsof Mr. Seaman's death and desire to convey to

Re-serve our sympathy over the loss of an excellent coach and a

thorough gentleman from their athletic circles.

o

THE GRADUATE MANAGER At the last meeting of the

as-sembly a vote was taken on two

questions. Each very vital to Ken-yon interests. The graduate

man-ager system was adopted without

a dissenting vote and it only

re-mains to find the man to fill the

office. We are assured that this

is provided for, so the student-bod-y

may look forward next year

to the placing of our athletic

af-fairs on a substantial basis. It

seems almost assured that the system will be a success and if the contentions ofthe adherents of the plan are realized the plan will

prove a money saver. Next year

will see the experiment tried and the hearty cooperation of the

stu-dent body should be accorded it. o

THE COMMONS

Another question upon which

the assembly acted at the last meeting was the commons idea. The committee appointed for the consideration of this question

re-ported it back to the assembly with the recommendation that the question "shall we have a college

commons?" be submitted to a

bal-lot vote. This was done and the result was in round numbers fifty

to twenty.

In our opinion this does not warrant any further action along these lines. The success of the

idea or of any idea depends upon

the unanimity of opinion

prevail-ing among the persons affected by

the carrying out of the idea. To

foist a commons on twenty men in college who are against it

would not only be impolitic, it would result in the failure of the

system.

Therefore it appears from the

vote that the commons idea is lost.

In time perhaps when some of the disadvantages of the present

sys-tem of boarding become more

ap-parent to the student body atlarge

the commons plan will come to its

own and Kenyon men will possess

better and cheaper boarding con-veniences.

o

EVIL OF ATHLETICS

The following editorial is taken from the New York Times and is a pointed reminder of some of the abuses of the present athletic idea:

Harvard's new President

un-doubtedly pointed out the

funda-mental evil of athletics as they exist in many universities when he said that the intercollegiate

con-test of any sort should be the culmination of a general sport, pursued by a large body of

under-graduates, and that the

repre-sentative

"team"

should not be.

like the gladiators of old, groups

of men trained to a special ef-ficiency in activities in Which few of the other students take any part except as spectators and

con-tributors of money.

There are certain excellencies and superiorities which, for those with important duties and great opportunities, cost more than they are worth and are actually

dis-graceful if attained, though in

themselves these excellencies and superiorities are innocent or even

admirable. According to classic

legend or fable a Greek King

was reproved for lamenting his

in-ability to play the lyre as well as a _{professional musician, and} was

told that it would be shameful if

he could, since for him the

attain-ment of such skill would mean the neglect of state affairs and royal obligations. He took the reproof

in good part, and so should some college boys if they were told that their proficiency in this or that sport or game, instead of being a cause for legitimate pride,

re-vealed a gross ignorance of

rela-tive values.

Most colleges, nowadays,

con-dition membership on the terms on

the maintenance for something

more than average scholarship, but the idea of ten and twenty years ago, _that athletics are only

for those who can rise to far more

than average rank in them, is still far too prevalent among the undergraduates, with the result that the great majority of them are content to exercise only their lungs. The boys who play at all

play well too well, that is,

con-sidering that they go to college

for mental rather than physical training, and that the latter, when carried too far, is injurious, not

beneficial, to the body.

The trainedathlete isin a miser-able condition for taking up the ordinary work of life, now that, for educated men, the ordinary work of life is largely sedentary.

The muscles and heart that make great athletic victories possible

are most dangerous possessions for the business or professional

man who lack the leisure or

the inclination to continue his

undergraduate activities, and,

in-stead of bringing from college an

accumulation of strength for

fu-ture use, he is apt to find his

hypertrophies soon changing into fatty degeneration, with all its weaknesses and perils.

Competi-tive victories should be incidental to college athletics, not their end or aim. New York Times.

o

Ascension j

Attention has been called to

several much needed reforms about the campus and around the

buildings. !

First, there has been a tendency

on the part of some men to mark

up the walls of Ascension. Most

unsightly scribbling and sketches I

have appeared this past year, and i

the interior of the hall is beeom-- !

ing positively ugly in certain

sec-tions. Now, the men know or

ought to know that there is no

way to get rid of the ugliness which marking on the walls pro-duces. Undoubtedly, thoughtless-ness accounts for all of this, but

now is the time to begin to think. There are two things which the board would like to call the

at-tention of the proper authorities

to. First, we would like to

sug-gest that the windows in the

dormitories be washed once at

least during term time. There

are many windows in both halls, so greasy that it is painful to try

to look through them. As one

student has put it, he has to

break a window in order to get a clean new pane to see through. Granted, that we do not believein

breaking windows, yet we certain-ly feel _that the urgent duty of

those who have charge of the

buildings is to see that the win-dows are washed once more this

spring, and before the hop visitors

arrive.

For a long time it has been the

custom of students rooming inOld

Kenyon to tie rigs to the vines in

front. This custom has well nigh

ruined some of the vines. In this case the student bodydoes notbear

all the blame. We are sure that were hitching posts installed, as in _j

front of Hanna, every student

who brings arig to the hall would

tie it to the proper place, and so save the ivy. Several large vines

have been torn down, and it takes

years to replace them. We hope

that the proper authorities will j

not overlook this matter indefi-- I

nitely. '

L. L. HEALD

Dies in Dunkirk, New York Was

a Memberof the Class of 1909

Word was received here several days ago of the death of Lloyd Lionel Ileald. Mr. Ileald was a member of the class of 1909 and there are many men now on the

Hill who remember him. Mr.

Ileald had been in bad health for several years past and up to a

short time before his death had

been living in the Adirondacks.

The following brief item is a

clipping from one of the Buffalo

papers :

Dunkirk, May 4. (Special) Lloyd Lionel Ileald died this fore-noon at the family home on W.

Fourth street after a long illness. He was born at Woodstock, Vt., on August 17, 1887, and had lived

in Dunkirk for four years. He is

survived by his parents, Mr. and

Mrs. A. A. Ileald, and two sisters, the Misses Elizabeth and Helen

Ileald.

S. B. Axtell, '06, has been

se-lected for the crew of the New

York Boat Club. This is quite a

distinction as the New York Boat

Club is one of the most prominent in the East. Mr. Axtell is at present practicing law at No. 1

Broadway.

degree in '80, and graduated from Bexley four years later. He then was rector of churches at Fern-ban-k,

ANNUAL

Election of AssemblyOfficers Held

On May 2d

The regular May meeting of the Assembly was held on May 2nd.

President Bland presided at the opening and dispensed with the "old business" on the calendar. It was moved and seconded that the amendment to the

constitu-tion regarding the adopconstitu-tion of the graduate manager system at Ken

yon, be taken from the table and voted upon. The vote was taken and the amendment passed.

Mr. Wood reported for the Col

THE KENYON COLLEGIAN

lege Commons committee and recommended that a secret ballot

be employed in obtaining the will of the student body regarding this matter. It was understood that only a very large majority in favor could carry the point. The

report was accepted. The vote

was taken and showed fifty-eig-ht

'Ayes' and twenty-thre- e 'Nays'.

This was not considered a

satis-factory majority.

President Bland next called

Assembly.

Messrs. Wood, Millspaugh and Sanderson were proposed. They

were voted upon and Mr. Wood was elected. President Bland then, in a few well chosen words expressed to the Assembly his sincere appreciation of the way the college men had helped him to make his term of office agreeable and effective.

Amid great applause President

Wood finished a short and earnest address, thanking the men for the honor they had bestowed upon him and expressed his determina

tion to "make good," and pro-ceeded to call for nominations to

the office of Vice President. The

work proceeded without delay and resulted in the following elections:

SAD DEATH

Of _Arthur Devol a Great Shock to the Community

The entire college was shocked

when on Friday, May 6th the news came _that the only son of Pro-fessor and Mrs. Devol had passed

to the great beyond.

Arthur Lorin Devol was born

November 30, 1879. He received

his _{early training} _at Kenyon

Mili-tary Academy and was graduated

from _{there with the} class of '97. The same fall he entered Kenyon

with _the1901 class. In his Sopho-more _year _typhoid _fever de-veloped, _and _it _{was this disease}

that led to the malady which

caused his death. Out of college a year, he returned to be gradu-ated in 1902 with the highest

THE KENYON COLLEGIAN standing of any in his class.

His aim in life had been to be a

physician, but ill health prevented

his beginning the practice of medicine. After graduation he

went to the Southwest, with a

sur-veying party, and remained near the Mexican border and along the

Pacific coast for some time,

hop-ing for recovery of health. How-ever, change for the worse set in

and he returned to Gambier. The

past five years he has been an

in-valid and for two years has been confined to his home.

He was a member of Beta Theta

Pi fraternity and also Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Devol was recog-nized as one of the most brilliant

of Kenyon'syounger alumni. His

death is a great loss both to the alumni and the undergraduates of Kenyon and the deepest sympathy

goes out to Professor and Mrs. Devol in their affliction.

Bexley

The following men have been chosen for the rhetorical exercises at Commencement: Messrs. Rib-

-let and Soares from the Senior

class, and Messrs. Albus and Ilaight from the Middlers.

The Rt. Rev. C. D. Williams, '80 A. B.. '84 Bex., '07 L. IT. D., will

preach the baccalaureate sermon

for the class of nineteen ten.

The Rev. J. J. Dimon takes up his new duties at St. Andrews, Washington, May 22nd.

Mr. W. O. Leslie, Kenyon '11, will enter Bexley Hall in the fall.

The Rev. Townsend Russell has been spending the past two weeks on the Hill.

The Session of the Summer

School will begin on Monday even-ing, June 13, _with a conference at

which addresses will be made

set-ting forth its purposes and ideals.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings will be

de-voted to the presentation and dis-cussion of special subjects:

Tuesday Social Service, Very

Rev. W. T. Summer.

Wednesday Sunday School

Pedagogy, Rev. Herman Page, D. D.

Thursday The Ministry for the

Age, Very Rev. George Hodges, D. D.

The early afternoon of each day

will be left free for recreational purposes, and in the late after-noon there will be an out-of-do-or

service with an address.

In the evening of each day there will be an informal clinic for the frank and free discussion of

Parish Problems under the leader-ship of men of large parochial

ex-perience.

On Friday morning Dean Hodges will conduct the final ses-sion. The school will close on

Friday at noon.

MUSICAL NOTES

The

Mikado

to

be

Given

Commencement

Week

by

the

Glee Club.

The "Collegian" hears with a

great deal of satisfaction that a

presentation of the "Mikado" is

to be given during Commencement "Week in place of the usual Glee

and Mandolin club concert. Loy

al Kenyon men always enjoy

hear-ing their musical clubs; that is

not tobe disputed, but by the time June comes, the program that was sung at "Prom" time and on all the trips, has become pretty well

known and its popularity

cor-respondingly doubtful. More-over, the leaders can never count

on having a full complement of

men at this time since many leave the Hill as soon as examinations are over. Those who stay find it

difficult, if not impossible, to save

their voices for the concert be-cause of the lung-rackin- g affairs

which precede it. For these and other reasons, the last appearance

of the 1909 clubs was not a

suc-cess; the "Pirates of Penzance,"

on the other hand presented by

the Glee Club of 1908, was far

more entertaining than a

"cut

and dried" concert would have been. The question of expense and added labor naturally arises, but

as a comic opera always draws better audiences and gives more

pleasure and satisfaction to the participants; both these questions may be dismissed.

The "Mikado" needs no

intro-duction. It is known far and

wide and has, for many years, given delight to hundreds ofmusic

lovers the world over. There are few who have not already heard it sung, but there are few, on the other hand, who have seen the girls' parts taken by men and the entire cast made up of Glee Club

THE KENYON COLLEGIAN singers. Two of Gilbert and

Sul-livan's operas have already been given in Gambier with great suc-cess and have paved the way for

a triumph of this, their noblest work. "Trial by

Jury"

was given some four years ago and "Pirates of Penzance" by the

1908 Glee Club.

The "Mikado" was first

pro-duced at the Savoy theatre in

London on the evening of March

14, 1885, and has ever since taken preceedence over "Pinafore" and the

"Pirates"

which it succeeded

by a few years. The cast as it is

being rehearsed is:

Mikado Lord, '10

Nanki Poo Cable, '11

Ko-K- o Tunks, '10

Pooh Bah Clark, '13

Pish Tush Wiseman, '10
