FORMER AUBURN
MEN WIN LAURELS
AT BOSTON TECH
FRANK HOLMAN RECEIVES
FIRST PRIZE
'Emma" Golem an Also
Given Recognition
Two popular members of the
Architectural class of '24, Frank
Holman and "Emma" Goleman,
who are now attending Boston
Tech, won highest honors in a
competitive problem worked out
last week in conjunction with Harvard,
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, and Boston Architectural
Club. Holman was given the
highest award and Goleman was
given high mention.
The problem consisted of the
planning of a Municipal Market,
each contestant being given five
weeks in which to work out the
problem, and each was placed upon
his own initiative as to the best
method of planning and development.
At the end of the stated period
the works were placed in the
Architectural Hall of Boston Tech
and judged by members of the various
Architectural Clubs in Boston.
This pair will be long remembered
by Auburn men and in future
years we can boast of the unprecedented
May Day Celebration
of 1924 when "Emma" was our
gracious Queen of May. During
their four years in Auburn "Emma"
and Holman were room mates
and 'twas quite natural that no
other than Holman should share
the honor of the occasion so he was
chosen as the Queen's "spouse."
Both acquitted the exalted office
with the same success that they do
anything in which they take part.
The brilliant minds of Harvard,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and the Boston Architectural
Club were entered in the contest.
Our former schoolmates are to be
congratulated for their achievement
and we wish for them the
many successes which they are
capable of attaining.
Wilsonian Elects Officers
At the regular meeting of th3
Wilsonian Literary Society, Tuesday
night, Nov. 18, officers tor the second
term were elected. Before the
election the president had the constitution
and by-laws of the society
read so that there would be no mis
understanding as to the duties of the
variotis officers and the manner in
which they were to be elected.
The president made a short but
forceful talk on the work done by
the society for the past semester.
After cautioning the society as to
the type of men to elect he opened
the house for nominations.
The following were elected:
President, Mr. Henry T. Wingate.
Vice-President, Mr. R. G. Staton.
Secretary, Miss Fanny Igou.
Treasurer, Mr. L. L. Aldridge.
Critic, Mr. B. W. Creel.
Sergeant at Arms, Mr. Row-'
Johnson.
Reporter, Mr. C. D. Greentree.
A short talk was made by each of
the" new officers, telling the society
what they expected to do for the
society during the following semester.
The society adjourned to th^
tune of many congratulations an!
much handshaking.

Lions Club Celebrates
National Education Week
The A"uburn Lions Club, at their
regular meeting last Tuesday, cefa*
brated National Educational Week.
The main feature of the program
was a stirring talk by Dr. Spright
Dowell on the educational needs of
the state. He cited numerous statistics,
-whicfc Indicated that Alabama
was far behind many states in
appropriations for its schools and
colleges. A short, interesting talk
also was made by Rev. W. H. Carson,
of Niegero, West Africa, a representative
of the Southern Baptist
church. Among others present wer^
Miss Annie Heard, principal of Auburn
grammar school; Mrs. Jolly,
president Parent-Teachers Association,
and Mr. Herbert Martin, member
of the board, Dr. B. F. Thomas,
chairman of the education committee
of the Lions Club, presided at
the meeting.
The club discussed the proposition
of having a uniform lunch hour
for all schools in A\iburn.
Fire Apparatus
Bought
by Town
and College
The City of Auburn, in conjunction
with the college, has recently
purchased a fire wagon. It is a
Ford truck with American la France
equipment. Professor C. R. Hixon is
in charge of the outfit and states
that it will soon be in good shape
and ready for action. A fire wagon
is something that has long been
needed in Auburn and will aid greatly
in the protection of Auburn property.
Other equipment soon will be
added to the department, making it
adequate to meet the needs.
Plans All-College Hike
Plans are being made by the Y.
M. C. A. for the annual All-College
Hike, which is to take place on December
6. This hike has been an
annual event since 1921 and is one
looked forward to by the entire student
body. It has been declared a
huge success in the past but this
year's event promises to eclipse
them all. It is hoped that the whole
dope can be spilled by the next issue
of the Plainsman. In the meantime,
don't forget the date and talk it up.
Greater Auburn
Campaign
Moves
Forward
The Greater Auburn Campaign ''a
making very favorable progress at
present, according to Mr. Hugh G.
Grant, secretary of the campaign.
A total of $14,757.69 has been collected
since October first. This
makes an average of $2,400 a week
paid by subscribers. Among other
subscriptions was a check fir
$1,000 from Mr. J. A. Williams, ol
the K. W. Ignition Company, Cleveland,
Ohio.
Three field trips have been mads
with over $3,000 collected from individual
subscribers as a result.
First hand information as to the
developments in Auburn was given
to the subscribers. A great deal of
interest in these developments was
manifest. The greatest development
at present is the construction
of the Ramsay Engineering Building,
which will be turned over to the
college about Aug. -1, 1925, according
to Mr. C. A. Fulghum, contractor.
A drive for the collection o?
pledges due is being put on by the
office of the campaign secretary, as
the Ramsay building must be paid
for by the time of completion.
Auburn Players to
Present "David Garrick"
Meeting A. S. C. E.
The American Society of Civil Engineers
held its regular meeting last
Monday evening in the Engineering
Building, with good attendance.
After roll call and the adoption of
mirfutes of the previous meeting, a
very interesting program was rendered.
Mr. Carter gave a short history of
the development of the macadam
type of road construction, which was
very instructive.
A brief talk on the construction
of the huge suspension bridge across
the Hudson River near West Point.
New York, by Mr. Whitfield, proved
to be of interest to all.
Some of the difficulties encountered
by the early instrument-makers
in constructing accurate instruments
were cleverly told by Mr.
Kilkpatrick.
Mr .L. W. Moore talked briefly
upon the advantages in the use of
power machinery in making earthwork
constructions- in flooded areas.
The program was concluded by a
short talk by Mr. Draper, relative
to the U. S. Geodetic and Coast Surrey
Department in Alaska.
Membership cards are ready to be
distributed and all members who
have not paid their d"ues are requested
to do so, in order that the cards
may be obtained.
Yes, they will soon face the footlights
again. The Auburn Players
will make their first appearance
of the season in Langdon Hall on
December 11th. David Garrick will
be the play presented.
David Garrick, by T. W. Robertson,
is a delightful mixture of .rich
comedy and deep drama. It is given
in three acts and has a cast of
ten characters.
Work on the play is already
well underway. The costumes for
the play are being designed by
the costume design department of
the club. The Scene Design department
is also busy with the construction
of suitable scen'ery. The
Tau Beta Pi Banquet
On Wednesday evening, November
12, Alpha of Alabama Chapter
of Tau Beta Pi, National Engineering
Fraternity, held- its annual fall
banquet.
Preceding the banquet the eight
pledges—elected from the senior
class—were duly initiated into the
fraternity. The initiation was followed
by a banquet at the Auburn
Tea Room. The seventeen active
members of the chapter were present
as well as several faculty members.
Mr. A. Y. McConnell acted as
toast-master for the occasion, introducing
each of the F a c l t v members
and allowing them to say a few
words about the work of the chapter
or otherwise. Some of the older
members were allowed to say a
few words and Mr. Duran made a
talk for the initiates. The talks
were mingled with the several
courses of the dinner, the banquet
being noted as the best ever held
by this chapter.
BE AT THE LAST MASS MEETING
TUESDAY NIGHT, 7 P. M.
entire cast has been selected and
regular rehearsals are being carried
out. According to Prof. Jones,

Websterian Meeting
The Websterian Literary Society
held its regular meeting Tuesday
with an outpouring of about a dozen
members. The program consiste.l
of the trials for determining the society's
representatives in the Inter-
Society Declamation Contest to be
held in Langdon Hall December 11.
The declamations were well presented
by the contestants, and it was
only after a heated discussion among
the members of the society, who
were acting "en semble" as judges,
that Mr. Lynne was chosen as th:i
entree. The program for the next
meeting to be held at seven o'clock
Tuesday night promises to be espa-cially
interesting.
Sorority Pledges Entertain
The Kappa Delta pledges entertained
the pledges of the other three
sororities with a wiener roast last
Friday night. The hostesses and the
guests went to the Ag Bottom, wher»
a bright fire was burning.
Pledges from the Chi Omega, Si2-
ma Rho and Phi Delta Rho were
present, about fifteen in all. A good
time was spent in roasting wieners
and si -<ting songs around the fire.
LAST MASS MEETING
TUESDAY NIGHT
The Mass Meeting to be
held in Langdon Hall next
Tuesday night will be the
last one of the Football Season,
consequently the last
which the Seniors will be
able to attend as students of
Auburn. In view of this fact,
there will be a special section
in the front center, reserved
for the Seniors, in
which every one of them will
be expected present and doing
some wild stuff.
This is your last chance,
Seniors, so let's show them
that there is one class 100
percent behind the team and
Auburn, and that the longer
a man stays here, the more
of the old "fight 'em" and
Auburn Spirit he gets.
WRECK TECH1
BULLDOGS VICTORS
IN ANNUAL STRUGGLE
AT COLUMBUS
Tiger's Fight Gamely and
Hold Flying Georgians to
Lone Touchdown
Mr. Thomas of Western
Electric Delivers Lecture
Mr. G. B. Thomas, with the Western
Electric Company, of New York
and other points, gave an illustrated
lecture to the engineering students
Wednesday afternoon, November 12.
Mr. Thomas is connected with the
New York office of the company.
During the forenoon he talked
with several members of the engineering
faculty. At 2 p. m. Mr.
Thomas gave an illustrated lecture
on "The Fundamentals of Speech
and Hearing Carried on in the Bell
System Laboratory". The lecture
covered all details of the functioning
of the telephone, the pictures
showing the paths of currents, effect
of low and high pitch on the
transmitter and receiver, as well as
other important features as observed
in the laboratory. By means of
graphs and curves, the effects of
iii'ferent frequencies and pitches
were illustrated. The various tests
:n.de on the apparatus and the me-onanism
Vsed was represented
by line diagrams, the fundamental
purpose and working of
each being shown. These tests are
carried to a hig hperfection undor
the new system of the Bell System in
the Western Electric laboratories
Some of the foremost engineers of
the world are engaged in the task
of perfecting the telephone and other
apparatus pertaining to speech
and hearing. Another important
feature of the lecture was an explanation
of how the ear receives the
sounds and how the mouth is used
to transmit them.
Mr. Thomas stated that the manufacturing
companies were endeavoring
to establish a relation of better
understanding between them and
the educational institutions. Thus
the Western Electric has gone to the
expense of giving a series of lectures,
such as the one given hire,
throughout the colleges as a s'sp
toward this goal.
Wirt Society
The Wirt Literary Society held its
regular meeting Tuesday night for
the imrpose of electing new officers.
The following members were elected
to hold offices for the next half semester:
President, F. L. Brown;
Vice-President, M. E. Josey; Secretary,
Collier; Treasurer, Whitfield;
Reporter, Rat Kinser.
The program at the next meeting
will consist of tryouts for the declamation
contest.
With several thousand rabid fans
looking on, the Bulldog's of Georgia
downed the Tigers of Auburn by
the score of 6 to 0. For a wonder
there was no rain to grace the contest,
but the weather was threatening
and brisk, and made topcoats
an extremely desirable thing.
All Columbus and adjacent territory,
to say nothing of the combined
populations of Athens and Auburn
were on hand to view the twenty-ninth
annual meeting of the two
schools. The general attitude of
the crowd seemed to be that of a
group attending an execution, the
Tigers in this case being the execu-tees,
if there is any such word. The
only doubt in the minds of the
greater part of the audience seemed
to be as to the number of touchdowns
that would be scored by
Georgia.
Unhappily this confidence in the
Georgia team was entirely justified.
The Bulldogs played a slashing, ir-restible
sort of a game, and too
much, credit cannot be given the
Tigers for holding the score to a
lone touchdown.
For once the breaks were about
even. Penalties at inoportune
tinfes undoubtedly hurt the Georgians,
while the Tigers also suffered
several costly penalties, to say
nothing of the usual fumble, which
halted what appeared to be a nonstop
march toward the goal.
The Bulldogs took the offensive
at the very start, and held it for
practically all the first half. Thompson
took a short kick and bit the
dust on his thirty yard line. The
Bulldog steam roller got fired up,
and a rapid succession of passes
and off tackle plays brought the
ball to Auburn's fifteen yard line.
Thomason and Sherlock made five
yards in two downs, and then
Sherlock paralyzed the crowd by
loping around left end to Auburn's
one yard line. Here the referee intervened
and called the ball back
and fined the Bulldogs fifteen
yards, for the actions of the forwards
in embracing the Tigers.
Moore and Sherlock completed
a forward pass for eight yards, but
the ball went over to the Tigers on
downs. On the very first play
Allen tossed a forward pass to Red
Harkins, for fifteen yards and a
first down. Encouraged by this
success, more passes were tried,
but Scrappy Moore horned in and
snatched a pass not intended for
him, giving Georgia the ball on the
thirty-nine yard line.
The Georgians made five yards
in two plays, and then Moore, punted
fifty-one yards. Greene responded
by sticking his boot in
the ball, and Moore returned the
punt to Auburn's thirty-five line.
Again the Bulldog drive started.
A series of four line bucks brought —
the pigskin to Auburn's ninteen
yard line. After making nine yards
on three plays the Crackers became
overanxious and were penalized
five yards for offside. Enter the
Villain. Bre'r Nelson gathered the
ball in his manly arms and shook
off assorted Auburn tacklers and
rushed over the Tiger goal-line for
the first, last and only touchdown

MASS MEETING
Football season is fast drawing to a close. This is the time of
the year that enthusiasm reaches its heights. It is a time that is
t enjoyed by everyone and is one part of college life that tends to
bring the student body close together. The spirit of united action
is a great thing and everyone should take advantage of it at every
opportunity. .
Now the last football mass meeting of the year will be held next
Tuesday night. It is your last chance to attend such a meeting this
year and perhaps the very last for many Seniors. The team has
played great games this year and although they have lost a few
times, they have always given their opponents the hardest, cleanest
opposition that could be offered. They haVe truly fought for Auburn.
They need your support to help them do a little "Tech Wrecking"
Thanksgiving. It will do you good to back such a team so let's ALL
get into it and make the greatest display of college spirit that has
ever been seen at any college. Auburn men can do this thing. Are
vou an Auburn man?
Dr. Cary is by birth a northerner,
having been born in Millers-burg,
Iowa. He was educated in
the elementary schools of that town
and went from there to Iowa State
College at Ames. He received his
B. S. from that institution in 1885
and the degree of Doctor of Veter-eral
health. The accomplishment
of both of these over the state is
largely due to the efforts of Dr.
Cary.
Not only is the man's work
known and counted in Alabama
but also over other states. He was,
at one time, president of the American
Veterinary Medical Association
and is now a member of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. He
is also the author and joint author
of many bulletins and pamphlets on
subjects relating to his field.
One of the more local and best
known of Dr. Cary's work is the
development of Farmers' Week.
During one week each summer, the
farmers and their families gather
from far and wide over the state
of Alabama for a few days of. work,
study and play. This plan has been
in the process of being carried out
for quite a number of years. It was
started in. a series of meetings for
farmers.conducted by the various
members of the faculty at the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute for
inary Medicine in 1887. Nine the discussion of problems that
months of the year of 1892 were have to be faced on the average
spent in Germany in the pursuance
of the same study. His practice
of the profession was begun at
Keokuk, Iowa, in 1887. He was
made assistant state veterinarian
there during the year and continued
the work for about two years.
In 1889 he left Iowa to be professor
of Veterinary Science and Veterinarian
at the South Dakota Agricultural
and Mechanical College.
Since his return from Germany in
1893 he has been professor of Veterinary
Science and Veterinarian
at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
He is also the director of the
farmer's institutes and summer
schools.
Dr. Cary has been a leader and
at present is the leader of veterinary
medicine in the state of Alabama.
He is and has been, for^
some years past the president of
the Alabama Association of Veterinary
Medicine. His work and the
work of this body has done much
for public welfare. It is well known
that regulations and inspection of
milk and meat are essential to gen-
The conduct of students at the trains is again back to normality.
The students making the mistake, some time ago, have seen their error
and are now conducting themselves as Auburn men while at
the trains. It is a very gratifying fact to know that all that is necessary
to stop such conduct on our campus is a reminder.
farm in the state. Thus the ex
pert information of the specialists
was combined with the practical
point of view of the farmer.
This work was found so beneficial
that its scope was gradually
extended to the women in the form
of county clubs, the boys, as members
of the Corn and Pig Clubs,
and the girls, as Canning Club
Workers. For a number of years
each of these groups held individual
annual meetings at Auburn at
some time during the summer, but
now in the more efficient development
of the work, one week is set
aside during the year and is designated
as Farmers' Week. At that
time the farmers, their wives, their
sons and daughters visit the "Village
of the Plains" and are made
welcome by both the college and
townspeople. This development of
the work so important to state progress,
has been advanced largely
through the efforts of Dr. Charles
Allen Cary. "By their works, ye
shall know them." And Dr. Cary
is certainly well known.

Baptists of Alabama
to Erect New Church
Building in Auburn
The State Baptist Convention, recently
in session at Anniston, Ala.,
upon recommendation of the Baptist
Educational Commission, voted
to give $50,000 toward the erection
of a new $100,000 church plant in
Auburn. The balance to complete
the amount needed will, if possible,
be raised in Auburn.
This appropriation is the result
of the efforts of a number of loyal
Baptists, who are interested in the
welfaie of Auiburn students. TUt-following
clipping from the Alabama
Baptist expresses the opinion of Mr.
Wm E. Rigell:
In the brief survey made at Auburn
and in a lengthy and fran.t
conference with the pastor, Rev. E.
W. ;Holmes, Mr. Hugh Grant and
President Spright Dowell, it was
found that at least one-third of the
student body, about 1500 in number,
belong to the Baptist denomination.
Another third of the students
have Methodist affiliation. The remaining
one-third is made tip of
Episcopalians, Presbyterians and
others affiliated with other denominations',
some who are members o'
no church whatever. The Methodist
church there, besides a spacious
auditorium, has a modern and up-to-date
education building for their
Sunday school and other classes foi
religious instruction. This eh-ireh
has a paid assistant to the pa?'oi,
who is both a graduate of Birmingham-
Southern, and a post-graduate
of Emory University of Atlanta. He
conducts classes in religious education,
religions histQry and psychology
as elective work in the college and
for which the students taking these
courses get credit. The Episcopalians
are now erecting a handsome
$40,000 structure, 12% per cen'
of which cost is to be paid by the
local congregation, while their state
organization is to assist in the balance.
The Presbyterian church :s
new, adequate and well equipped
and is being supported generously
by the State Presbytery.
The Baptist situation in Aubarn
is vastly different from all other
denominational connections there.
The building is an old and inadequate
frame structure. Theaudito--
ium has a seating capacity of an-proximately
3 00. There is a wooden
annex on the lot to the rear of
the ch'urch, in size about 25x50 feat,
and will seat aout 180 or 175 people.
A strong Baraca class made >p
largely of students, meets in the
major portion of this buildi.ij,
while the growing Fidelis class
meets in the other section of the
annex. It was reported that the total
number of students in Sunday
school is about 200. A situation lik*
this would suggest that the Baptist'.,
of Auburn and of Alabama are seriously
handicapped and painfully
embarrassed because of the lack of
adequacy and accommodation for
Baptist students.
What the Baptists of Anburn r i i1-
ly need, according to consarvxti'e
estimate is a $75,000 plant, not including
equipment. The little congregation
of about 250 members,
including students and professors
is .able to raise about $25,000. This
suggests that at least $50,000 to
$75,000 should come from outside
sources. Attention was called to the
fact that the local people gave quite
generously to the college some years
ago to assist the college in its new
building and enlargement program
and to keep the institution at Auburn.
There are about six B. Y. P. U.'s
in the church, several of which have
been recently organized primarily
for the sfudents. Most of these
have to meet together, at least by
two's, for their opening and closing
exercises. Others are almost intolerably
crowded into small rooms and
curtained sections of the auditorium.
This condition neither invites
Baptist young men nor speaks well
for their religious training.
Further investigation revealed
the fact that about one-half of all
the students were studying some
phase of engineering and one-fourth
doing the agricultural course. The
remainder of the student body, with
the exception of about 160 in the
department of Arts and Science,
were studying medicine, veterinary
and pharmacy. Of course, not all
of these students are Baptists, b\it.
the facts indicate that at least a
few hundred Baptist students are at
Auburn because they cannot get
what they want at a denominational
school. In the meantime, the
Baptists of Alabama have invested
many thousands of dollars in their
own schools. They have scarcely
made any investment for the approximate
1600 Baptist students at.
Auburn, Alabama, Montevallo and
other state schools. There is no
possible way to force all of the Baptist
young men and women to go to
our denominational schools N and
most especially to take courses that
they do not want. The only alternative
left is adequate financial sup
port and efficient leadership in the
state schools.
The local congregation at Auburn
is doing about all in its power for
the students there. It has its limi
tations in finances and equipment.
The members are not asking the
Baptists of Alabama for money with
which to run their own affairs.
They are tremendously interested
in the students there and in our denominational
program. The churcn
is ably presided over and wisely led
by the aggressive young pastor, E.
W. Holmes, and is strongly supported
in leadership by Dr. Dowell and
other loyal men and women of the
community. The students at Auburn
and other state schools are not
likely to take up a four years' vacation
in church attendance, B. Y. P.

The Freshman Carry On
The Freshman Literary Society
exhibited quite a bit of excitement
last meeting over the beginnng of
the try-outs for the Declamation
Contest. Rat Greentree gave a considerable
part of President Wilson's
war message as his effort for the
place of freshman representative in
the coming contest.
Rat Francis declaimed, "The Minute
Men of '75, the Minute Men of
Today," by George William Curtis.
This speech was well delivered but
due to the lack of time he had not
been able to memorize all of it. Mis?
Gibbs presented, "The Battle Between
Might and Right", as originally
delivered by Frank O. Low-den.
This speech also was very impressive
and should give the other
contestants some serious thought.
Rat Cargyle selected as his speech,
"The Founding of Our Country, Its
Founder and Future", by Price and
Booth. He delivered this speech in
a true declamation tone but was also
considerably hampered by lack of
time in which thoroughly to lear.i
it.
When the speeches were over,
nine new contestants, spurred on,
no doubt, by the vigorous enlistment
campaign waged, signified their desire
to enter. The full meeting is
to be given over to these contestants
next time, each one of whom
will have five minutes before a judging
committee selected by Professor
Evans. At least one, strong contestant,
who will give the older societies
a hard battle of it, should be.
selected from the great number who
have entered. A good crowd is expected
next time to see what they
think about the various try ouU.

History of Auburn
Written for U. D. C. Chapter
by Mrs. J . A. Kernodle
(Continued from Last Issue)
EAST ALA. MALE COLLEGE
At the meeting of the Methodist
Church Conference at Talladega, in
December, 1854, a college for men
in the southern part of the state
was asked for. Quite an argument
between Greensboro and Auburn
supporters arose as to where the
College should be located. After
much debating, it was decided that
both places should have such an
institution. Conference approved
and named $100,000 as the minimum
endowment. In 1857 a contractor
was secured and the building
of the new college was begun.
In the summer the first floor was
put down and the corner stone laid.
Our Mrs. Fraser remembers the
laying of this corner stone as one
of the greatest days Auburn ever
experienced. BisTiop George F.
ce made the adress from a temporary
platform on the western
side of the building. Rude tables
were built upon which a delicious
barbecue dinner was served to
hundreds ojr peopTe. That night
the town wajs aglow with fireworks.
The East Alabama Male College as
it was called was opened in 1859
with a faculty composed of some of
the ablest and best known educators
of the South. Dr. Sasnett of
Georgia, was elected president,
Prof. Darby, originator of Darby's
Fluid and professor" of chemistry
in the Masonic Female College was
made professor of chemistry. The
young ladies of the Masonic College
used to go to Dr. Darby's classes
and recite with the boys. During
the first session there were 80
students in attendance. It was well
equipped for a classical college
and had a prosperous career until
its doors were closed in 1862 on
account of -the war between the
states,
V /
COLLEGE TURNED INTO
• \ HOSPITAL
When it was first thought that
there would be strife, there was organized
at Auburn a military company
of about one hundred men
known as the Auburn Guards. The
captain of this campany was Mr.
G. W. Dickson. It was soon ordered
to Pensacola to help protect the
port. There they stayed about a
month and on their return they all
joined different companies and entered
the war. Our own Dr. Drake
was a member of the Auburn
Guards. The college students volunteered
and most of them were
killed in battle. The college was
turned into a hospital where were
sent sick and wounded soldiers
from the fighting district, as this
was on the railroad. These sick
and wounded soldiers were fed
and nursed by the women of the
town.
Conditions here were the same
as all over the South, the men at
the front and the women bravely
carrying on, raising supplies on
the plantations, spinning, weaving
and knitting all day and into the
night. The children did not know
what play was, our Mrs. Fraser and
Mrs. Drake, children of 10 or 12
years knit a sock a day. The women
established a Wayside Inn
where the Grammer School now is,
and took turns furnishing and cooking
food for the soldiers who,
passing through on trains would
stop off for something to eat. Sometimes
it would be a ragged, tired
and hungry bunch that would
hold out their pieces of hard-tack
for the good women to put meats
or vegetables on it. They all lived
on corn bread at home and sent
the wheat to the soldiers at the
front. They tore table and bed linen
into bandages. They wove
jeans for the soldiers and homespun
for their own clothes, and became
experts in dyeing various colors.
They used substitutes for
things that had been necessities.
No monument could be built high
enough to the southern women who
drank the bitter cup at the bottom
of which lay the very dregs of life's
sorrow, want, suffering, and despair.
TWO RAIDS BY NORTHERNERS
There were two raids through Auburn
during the war, Wilson's and
Rousseau's. Dr. Drake was at
home on furlough and took 85 or
100 of the convalescent soldiers
from the college hospital, went out
to meet them and fired on them.
This made them mad, and they
gave the boys a hot chase with bullets
flying every way. The raiders
tore up the railroad, and destroyed
the medicine in the drug store.
They started to apply tre torch to
one home, but the woman gave the
Mason's sign of distress and the
captain, who was a Mason, desisted.
THE AFTERMATH OF WAR
After the war it was a discouraged
lot who took up where they
had left off. The negroes were free
and the most of the people in Auburn
had been well to do and owned
slaves, they had to go to work
to build up their shattered fortunes.

In 1886 the college was reopened
with Col. James Dowell, who
had settled on a little plantation
near Auburn, as president. He took
charge and taught, too, until the
college was turned over to the state.
He retained the presidency until
sometime later when his health
failed and he resigned.
STATE TAKES CHARGE
The Methodist Church was not
able to maintain and support two
colleges, so it was decided that the
church would turn the East Alabama
College over to the state,
Col. James Dowell went before the-
Legislature and offered it to the
state provided the state would support
the college. The legislature
accepted the offer and the Agricultural
and Mechanical College
arose, which having federal and
state support became more extensive
in its influence and broader in
its usefulness. It was in 1872
while Governor Linsay was in office
that the transfer of the college
from the Church to the State
was made. The management of
the college was committed to a
Board of Trustees one member
from each congressional district,
the governor of the state being,
president.
Dr. I. T. Tichenor was the first
president of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College and did a
great work towards the launching
of the institution in its new field
of endeavor, four courses were offered
under his adminstration,
Agriculture, Science, English and
Literature.
MAIN BUILDING BURNED
In June 1887 the main college
building was destroyed by fire.
After the fire there was a reorganization
of the college after the manner
of the usual classical college.
Later the trustees endeavored to
make it conform more strictly to
Land Grant Colleges.
CHANGED TO POLYTECHNIC
INSTITUTE
There were two active trustees
at this time who are responsible
for the college being changed from
a classical college into a school of
applied science, or Polytechnic Institute.
These two men were Hon.
Henry D. Clayton and Col. C. C.
Langdon after whom Langdon Hall
was named. From 1860-1874 the
college offered only the A. B. degree
and so it was changed from
a classical into a polytechnic or
scientific school more attention
was given the scientific branches.
So from 1874 to the present time
the Bachelor of Science and Master
of Science degrees only are of:
fered to the students. By an act of
the Legislature on January 27, 1899,
the name of Agricultural and Mechanical
College was changed to
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute.
It was under the presidency of Dr.
Wm. Leroy Broun when this
change was made.
RAPID GROWTH MADE
Changes and improvements have
been made very rapidly under Dr.
Broun, Dr. Thach, and our own
Dr. Dowell. Today Auburn ranks
among the best colleges of the
South. It is within our own recollection
that during the late war a
great many students volunteered,
some never returning. An R. O.
T. C. Station was placed here by
the U. S. Government in connection
withHhe college. During the terrible
"flu" epidemic of 1918 the
women of the town helped nurse
the stricken boys.
Great things have been accomplished
at Auburn and are still being
accomplished and if the future
measures up to the past there will
be no doubt as to the scope of her
influence and power.

last Saturday, the cultured toe
*of Hek Wakefield supplying the only
three points scored. This was the
second time that Tech has lost 01
Grant Field this season.
Tech made eight first downs to
two, but could not push the ball
over. Once they scored a first down
on Vandy's three yarfl line, but a
bad pass from cen'er spoiled everything.
On the other hand, Vandy
played wide-awake football and took
advantage of their oniy opportunity
to score.
Doug Wycoff, Tech's superstar
was probably stopped more completely
than he has been this season
the splendid work of Wakefield being
largely the cause of said stopping.
The Tech line, as a whole,
proved superior, and Tech clearly
showed that they have a dangerous
team, for, even with Wycoff boxed
in, they were able to outrush the
strong Commodores.
Although laboring under a terrific
schedule, the Yellow Jackets
have managed to keep on the bright
side of the .600 percent mark. Of
their five conference games, they
have accumulated two victories, s
like sumber of defeats and one tie.
The games played with teams not in
the conference have been a bit more
successful, the Jackets having two
victories against one defeat.

A gicat burden has been taken off

who indulge'in the great postseason
game of picking an All-

was published in one of the leadins
Southern dailies under a university
dateline, kindly offering the services
of four members of the Capstone
outfit for the proposed All-So\Uh<?rn
eleven. The generosity of the writer
in allowing seven vacant places
to be filled by the representatives of
the various other schools is greatly
to be commended.
Several reasons were set forth in
the article (as if reasons were necessary)
for the selection of Messrs.
Probst, Camp, Hubert and Browa
for the mythical team. Now these
men all are excellent performers.
and have made names for themselves
-Wt Just where they stand head and
shoulders above Taylors, Giisham^,
Lawrences, Newtons and others in
their respective positions is rath"r

The article, which was quite
well written and altogether u
excellent one, contained nevertheless
one striking statement. Wa
take the liberty of quoting: "Whili
Kubale and Lawrence are both fine
players they are not the all-around
performers, etc., etc." the fact finally
being brought out that Probst
Is without equal for defensive and
offensive work, to say nothing of
general all-around efficiency.
There is not the least doubt in
the world that the Alabama center
is~a high-class performer—he would
not have made All-Southern if he
had not been. B\it when the statement
is broadcast that he has no

Auburn Spirit Complimented
by Hullabaloo
Last Friday's issue of the "Tu-lane
Hullaballoo," which by the
way is one of the finest college
publications in the South, contained
several references to the conduct
of the Auburn students and
team, in the recent game in Montgomery.
The sportsmanship of the Au-burnites
was spoken of and the
general good feeling that existed
between the two student groups
was also commented upon. Flattering
tributes to Auburn and men
of Auburn were paid by both the
editorial and sports writers.
Needless to say, the citizens of
Tigertown are very grateful for
these little expressions of regard.
The fine spirit displayed by both
sides was a matter of comment all
over Montgomery, and certain it
is that Auburn never has come in
contact with a team that showed
more aggressiveness and fight, nor
with a student body that displayed
more loyalty, enthusiasm and all-around
sportmanship. Tulane can
truly be proud of her Montgomery
invasion, and it is with great anticipation
that we look forward to
another meeting with the New Orleans
school.

far this season the Freshies have
been somewhat of a disappointment
to the students, but a victory over
the Minor Yellow Jackets will set a'l
to rights again. Their career this
season has been a rather checkered
one, having lost to the Mercer Frosh,
and the Georgia Bullpups. A tie
game with the Howard Rats and
wins over the Southern Hilltoppers
and the Wetumpka High aggregation
complete the record of tha
Orange and Blue Rhodents. They
are out now to avenge their unlucky
season with a glorious win over the
first year pigskin toters from thd
lair of our time-honored rivals in
Atlanta. They must bear in mind
that an ^undefeated Tech eleven !s
"more than ordinarily" hard to beat
on Grant Field.
In meeting the Tech Freshmen
our Rats will encounter some brick-wall
opposition from a line that will
average around 200 pounds, whose
chief luminary is Hearns, the tall
lad from G. M. A., who had it all hi3
way in the High School Basket Ball
Meet here last February. Their back-field
"Will also furnish a sufficient
amount of amusemest to occupy iu'
Rats during the spare moments of
the game. They have had a perfect
season thus far, but a good beginning
makes a—well, Saturday's
game will tell.
Tiger and Bulldog
Trackmen Stage
Road Race Sat.
At three o'clock Saturday afternoon
will be staged the first local
road race of the season, betweeo
the Auburn and Georgia cross country
teams. The race will begin and
end in front of the library, the
course being up to Gay Street, once
around the block and then out Gay
Street toward Wright's Mill Road.
The course will be three miles iu
length, and the team making the
lowest score will be the winner, thus
aligning road racing on the side of
golf and other peaceful pursuits.
Georgia is bringing over a strong
team, with such men as Griffin.
Tate and others. They . have been
in several races this year and have
come out successfully, beating Clem-son
only last Saturday.
The Tiger team is one of much
promise and little experience.
Reeves and "Steel-Arm" Whigham
have both done cross country work
before, and Belcher has been on the
team for two years, but injuries have
kept him from performing regularly.
"Shorty" Morrow, "General" Station,
and Johnnie England will complete
the sextette. Morrow was a
sensation on the Rat team last year,
and promises _to be a great cinder
star before he leaves the village.
Bob Staton has also come out greatly
in practice, and bids fair to be a
consistent performer. The entire
team shows plenty of promise and,
with a little experience, should dd-velop
into quite a formidable aggregation.
The Tiger Rats have Captain Pat
terson, Burns, Primm and the Man-ley
brothers to keep the line intact,
while Ellis, receiver de luxe of the
aerial missives will always be a
thorn in the side of his yellow jacketed
opponents. Granger also will
keep the Tech linesmen from goin.r
to sleep at their posts.
Speaking Of Sports
The thing that Auburn needed
worst last Saturday was a dogcatch-er.
The Bulldogs just went mad,
or something, and the above mentioned
offical would be about the
only person eligible to stop them.
Caesar found the going pretty
rough on the Ides of March, but
how about the Ides of November?
Well, it just means that Georgia
Tech will have to take the responsibility
for three Auburn defeats.
It has to be taken out on somebody.
A Tiger whipped once may be
a rough customer; a Tiger whipped
twice is dangerous, and a Tiger
whipped three times is positively
unsafe.
The Centre College Lemon proved
to be a bit too sour for the University.
Our friends up at Tuscaloosa
(we mean the ones in the University)
also found the Ides of November
a bit unhealthy.
The problem of stopping "Red"
Grange seems to have been successfully
solved by the Minnesota Gophers.
Their theory was that if
you keep making touchdowns in
rapid succession, how can the
other fellow make any?
That, probably, being the reason
for the lack of Auburn Touchdowns
last Saturday.
Dear old Harvard absorbed her
weekly beating last Saturday, it being
Brown's turn to administer the
dose.
Another .Tiger- Bulldog setto
came off last Saturday, when
Princeton and Yale staged their
annual festival of love. Again the
results were disastrous for the Tiger.
Ye Campus Prophet of the Crimson-
White had a hunch that the
Auburn Georgia game would end
in favor of the Tigers. We sincerely
hope that this hunch didn't
cost him as much as ours.
Georgetown and the Third Army
Corps played in a snowstorm up in
Washington. However neither team
got snowed under, the final score
being 6 to 0, in favor of the Irishmen.
Those other Irishmen (Stuhldre-her,
Gluckert, Hanousek, and other
loyal sons of Erin) spotted Nebraska
six points in the first quarter,
and then ran wild scoring thirty-four
points before they could be
halted.
If Bo McMillan doesn't stop beating
Boston teams, either personally
or by proxy, there will be an injunction
put forth to bar the former
Colonel from the city of the
Sacred Bean.
Hek Wakefield and Gil Reese, or
in other words the Vanderbilt team,
will go to Minneapolis to take on
the Minnesota Gophers. Of course,
Minnesota must be good, or they
wouldn't have downed Illinois and
others, but we can't help but believe
that Vandy will give them a
run for their money.
The big game will be in New
Haven, when Yale and Harvard
come to blows. Yale is much
stronger than Harvard, and should
beat the Crimsons handily, but to
live up to 19fi4 football standards,
Bulldogs Are
Victors In
Annual Struggle

of the game. Moore attempted to
dropkick for the extra point, but
found the goalpost in the way.
Lawrence and Company elected
to receive, and were given the ball
on the twenty yard line by virtue
of Thomason's long kickoff. Salter
and Allen managed to gain six
yards in two downs, and then Pea
Green punted thirty yards to Scrappy
Moore, who was downed by
Hardboy Pruitt before he knew he
had the ball. Thus ended the first
quarter.
For the remainder of the first
half there was not "much to the
game except the constant rushing
of the Georgia men, the heroic
stand of the Tigers under their
own goalposts and the cool punting
of Green in times of stress.
In the second half, the game was
more closely contested, and for a
while the Tigers made a real threat
at the Georgians' goal. After a
double exchange of punts Georgia
tried to pierce the Tiger line, but
failed, the ball going over to Auburn
on the latter's thirty-one yard
line. Greane made one yard at
center, but Kilpatrick intercepted
a pass and the ball was Georgia's
on the thirty-three yard line. The
Bulldogs again failed to make ten
yards in four downs and the ball
changed hands.
Then up rose Turner in his wrath,
and ploughed through the line for
ten good yards and true. Paa
Green oozed through center for
eleven yards and another first down
Fenie Crane, who was directing the
team in masterly fashion, now tossed
a pass to Pea for eight yards. Geo*
gia took one rest too much and thy
ball was moved up three yards.
Crane sneaked off left tackle for five
yards, putting the ball on Georgia'.:

Wreck Tech
On Tuesday, the twenty-fifth day
of the mouth of November, will be
held the last mass-meeting of the
present season. It will be the last
chance to see the team before they
go forth to "Wreck Tech." There
will be speeches from members of
the team, and a grand total of no
vacant seats is expected.
Immediately after the mass-meeting,
a torchlight procession will be
in order. Everybody able to walk
and carry a torch is expected to
be in line, as this procession is expected
to surpass even the great
Vanderbilt parade.
All Auburn must be in line to
make this a success, and if all Auburn
comes out and brings a big
torch and a pair of double reinforced
leather lungs, the Wreck
Tech mass meeting will make an
old time election look like a prayer
meeting. Wreck Tech.
Harvard should hand the Bulldogs
a thorough trouncing.
Carnegie Tech is going through
a period of extra hard training for
the Quantico Marines. A little
fasting and prayer might help, too.
Fort Benning is going up to
Charleston to battle the Paris Island
Marines. Good Luck, neighbors.

Tiger's Working Hard
For Tech Tussle
PITTSMEN BEGIN STIFF
TRAINING FOR WYCOFF
AND COMPANY
With the Georgia game a thing
of the dim, distant, and sad past,
the Tigers are undergoing a fortnight
of hard work in preparation
for the clash with the Yellow Jackets
of Tech.
The -Tigers have been badly
clawed at times this season, and
the Yellow Jackets have been stung
rather briskly on some occasions,
and each team will no doubt endeavor
to take out on the other
the indignities suffered this season.
Which, coupled with the fact
that these two teams are always
bitter rivals, should make the game
a most interesting affair.
No one who saw last year's game
with the Jackets will ever forget
it. The Tigers went to Atlanta to
meet a team that was decidedly the
favorite, and the best offered the
Tigers was a chance to hold the
score down. This they did to perfection,
so perfectly, in fact
that there was no scoring at
all. All during the first half
they gave a demonstration of
how to hold another team right in
the shadow of the goal posts, while
in the second half, they kept the
Tech rooters in a state of paralysis
by their constant peckings away
at the Jacket goal.
Just who will be rated favorites
this year is a matter of uncertainty.
Both teams have had their
good and bad days. Tech undoubtedly
has had a hard schedule, but
it is certainly no harder than the
Tigers's. Each team has won four
games, lost three, and tied one.
Tech has several near stars,
and one super-star. Wycoff has
stood head and shoulders over all
Southern backs this year. Only by
the most complete "boxing" can he
be prevented from running amuck.
If he is not watched with hawklike
eyes on every play there is no telling
to what heights he will rise.
A splendid punter, a fine runner,
a mighty line-plunger, and a defensive
player without peer, Doug
the Great is indeed a man to be
feared.
There are several capable assistants
to Wycoff on the Jacket team.
Nabelle, Merkle, King and others
are all dangerous opponents. It is
easily to be seen that Tech is nobody's
easy meat.
On the other hand, the Tigers are
a group of good players, while the
honors pretty nearly equal. Of
course Captain Lawrence is the
leading center of the South, but
his work fits in with the others so
well that he hardly seems to stand
out. When the ball is snapped by
the other side, Fatty seems to disappear,
only to magically reappear
at some distant part of the
field holding on to the man with
the ball. There may have been
greater defensive players in the
South than the t i g e r captain, but
they have certainly been few and
far between.
The most pleasing thing from the
Tiger standpoint this year has been
the development of the new players.
Long, Market, English, and
Hagood, to mention only a few have
come out rapidly and bid to be

called back and the ball pushed fiva
yards back toward the Auburn goal
for offside play.
Dean Peterson came into the
game at this juncture, but two long
passes were batted down by the
Georgia backs. Green punted to
Moore, who punted back after threa
plays were run. Peterson and Williams
collided going after the ball
and, as a result, Georgia recovered
the ball on Auburn's seventeen yarj
line.
Kilpatrick and Randall made
things look dark by making a first
down in two plays. Randall slid
over guard for one yard, but the
Bulldogs were penalized five yards
for starting too soon. Randall and
Kilpatrick made eight yards in
three attempts, the ga<ns getting
shorter each time. Moore dropoad
back to kick, but the ball rolled under
the posts instead of sailing over,
and the crowd sat back and began
to breathe again.
Gaining possession of the ball on
the twenty yard line, the Tigers
staged an aerial attack. A pass from
Harrison to Greene netted fourteen
yards, but that "was the only on-j
that they were able to complete.
Greene punted to Moore, who was
tossed to the ground on his own lir-ty-
seven yard line. With the end ol
the game growing near, the Bulldogs
realized that there was no hurry
and therefore ran but six play3
until the final whistle blew, the ball
at that time being deep in Auburn's
territory.
•Fatty Lawrence was, as usual, rh-i
big star of the game, while the worl!
of Red Harkins and Joe Market wa3
the best put out in the line. Green'3
punting was splendid, when it is
considered that he was generally
kicking with his back to the wall
and was generally badly rushed by
the Georgia forwards. The whole
Tiger team put up a splendid fight ,
and have nothing to be ashamed of
in the afternoon's performance.

Those looking forward to careers in
business often associate the big accomplishments
with men in private offices, who sit
back of massive desks. As a matter of fact,
there are many important men in an organization
like Westinghouse who seldom use
a desk or office at all. They achieve by
going to other men's offices. They are termed
"sales engineers".
George Westinghouse, for example, rendered
his greatest service to industry and
mankind not merely by perfecting alternating
current but by selling it—in the face
of the stiffest kind of opposition.
Authorities declared it was impractical;
laws were urged against it; yet the
salesman, Westinghouse, threw back of
alternating current, the strength of his
selling personality—with results that can
be witnessed in every branch of industrial
life today.
Following the example of its Founder,
the Westinghouse organization includes a
body of engineers whose work is to carry
electrical advancement into every nook and
corner of the world. They have sold electrification
to the factories, the farms, the
homes, the railroads, the mines, the ships.
They are mechanical and electrical, engineers
whose imaginations are fired, not
merely by engineering achievement, but
by the benefits from such achievement to
"the market".
Engineering needs men of sales ability
and sales personality; and industry needs
to have them in engineering. Organizations
like Westinghouse, must sell before
they can serve.
