UNIVERSITY ui AT LOS ANGELES LIBRARY Semi -Centennial History OF THE Illinois State Normal University 1857-1907 Prepared Under the Direction of a Committee of the Faculty As an Expression of Their Appreciation of the Service the Institution has Rendered to the Cause of Education in the Past and of Their Faith in its Future. ~ 9 O ''* Q O * / *-<. . * *\. ^ COPYRIGHT NINETEEN HUNDRED SEVEN BY DAVID FELMLEY Education PREFACE THIS book has been published because it was felt that the school itself should undertake to give an account ox the first fifty years of its existence. After discus- sion and a favorable vote of the faculty, President Felmley appointed a committee to take charge of the publication of a history of the school. This committee elected an editor and an assistant editor, approved submitted plans for the book, selected persons to write the successive chapters, selected the illustrations, etc. The making- of plans and outlines, the gathering- together of the materials, and the editing of the \ book has fallen almost wholly to the lot of the editor. The ^ assistant editor has been in charge of the painstaking work involved in the Registers of Part Three. In this work he has been ably assisted by Miss Martha Hunt of the faculty. An effort has been made to provide adequate accounts of I the various phases of the growth of the institution. To ac- | complish this and at the same time avoid all repetitions has been impossible, for some events have had more than one 3 result connected with them. j The committee desires to thank Dr. John W. Cook, who owns the copyright, for the untrammeled permission to use articles from A History of the Normal University, published twenty-five years ago. The thanks of the committee are also tendered all those who have, by writing chapter or reminiscence, cooperated to make the book what it is. Committee'. O. L.

H. Lee, of Chicago, J. A. Hawley, of Dixon, and Daniel Wilkins, of Blooming- ton. The condition of the schools coming up as a subject of conversation, they decided to call a convention of the friends of education for the purpose of devising some plan by which the condition of popular education might be improved thruout the State. As a result of this conference, a call was issued for a meet- ing of all friends of free schools, to be held at Bloomington, December 26-28. To make the call more impressive it was headed by the Secretary of State, who then had charge of the public schools. It was signed also by the president and fac- ulty of the Illinois Wesleyan University, by the president and faculty of Shurtleff College, by the five ministers of Bloom- ington, and by prominent friends of education in other parts of the State. The meeting took place at the time advertised, and was held in the Methodist church, at the corner of East and Wash- ington streets. The meeting was organized by the election of the following officers : President, E. W. Brewster, of Elgin ; vice presidents, Professor W. Goodfellow, of the Illinois Wes- leyan University, A. J. Sawyer and C. B. Loop, of Joliet; secretaries, W. H. Powell and H. L. Lewis. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, and was largely attended, especially on the second day. "A deep earnestness pervaded the convention and it was plainly to be seen its mem- bership was made up of thinkers of the active sort, men who were not only deep thinkers, but who were ready to take such immediate action as in their judgment was adapted to the 6 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY needs of the times and to the best interests of the cause of education !"* Several resolutions were submitted to the convention, four of which were considered of great importance, and conse- quently were discussed freely and vigorously. The first resolution declared for a State Teachers' Insti- tute, which was organized, amid great enthusiasm, immedi- ately upon the adjournment of the convention. Professor Goodfellow was elected president, and Daniel Wilkins, secre- tary. The first meeting of the Institute was to be held at Peoria, between Christmas and New Year, 1854. The second resolution demanded the appointment of a State School Superintendent who should give his entire time to the public schools. This was considered of vital importance. Heretofore the general management of the schools was in the hands of the Secretary of State. It formed simply a depart- ment in his office, and received but little intelligent attention. So earnest was the discussion on this point, that the legisla- ture, at a special session, February 9, 1854, passed a law au- thorizing the governor to appoint a State Superintendent of Schools. He appointed Ninian W. Edwards, son of the only territorial governor of Illinois. The third resolution was in favor of a State Teachers' Journal, to be the especial organ of the Teachers' Institute and the champion of educational progress. The paper was started at the Peoria meeting of 1854, and valiantly served the cause for which it was established. At first it had a precarious ex- istence, but when Mr. Charles E. Hovey, superintendent of the Peoria schools, became its editor, he infused life and vigor into it, and it lived a long and useful life, worthy of its hon- orable title, "The Illinois Teacher." The fourth resolution called forth a vigorous discussion. It asked the State to establish and maintain a normal school for the preparation of teachers for the public schools. But while the need of a better preparation for teachers was recog- nized by all, the best way of obtaining it was not so appar- ent. This was shown by the discussion in the Bloomington convention, and still more fully by the opinions expressed at the Teachers' Institute, in Peoria, in 1854. Some of the friends of education wanted a normal school whose entire end and aim should be the preparation of teach- ers for the public schools. Others, led by Jonathan B. Turner, of Jacksonville, wanted a normal school with an agricultural *Bnrnham ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 7 department attached, or else an Industrial University in which a normal department should be established. While a third party claimed that the wisest course was to establish normal departments in the denominational colleges already in opera- tion, as they feared that disastrous results would follow the separation of education from religion. Each of these views had earnest supporters at the Peoria meeting, and its advantages over the others were set forth in glowing terms. No definite conclusion was reached, but the discussion was of great value in creating a public sentiment favorable to the better preparation of teachers by the State. The institute adjourned to meet in Springfield, at the most convenient date, during the Christmas holidays of 1855. At the Springfield meeting the name of the Institute was changed to that of the State Teachers' Association, a name which it still bears. One of the principal topics discussed by the association was the better preparation of teachers, and again the friends of education were divided as at the Peoria meeting. It was evident, however, that the advocates of a normal school, free from all "entangling alliances," were gain- ing in numbers and in confidence. This confidence was mani- fested very clearly at the Chicago meeting, in 1856, when the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the Association does not wish to discuss any univer- sity question, but occupy themselves with the interests of common schools and Normal schools. The champions of the normal school idea were gladdened by the withdrawal of all opposition to their plan by Mr. Tur- ner and his party, the withdrawal being announced in a grace- ful letter to the association. Before adjourning, the following resolution was passed, after a long and spirited debate: Resolved, That the educational interests of Illinois demand the imme- diate establishment of a State Normal School for the education of teach- ers ; and in the language of. the Board of Education, "We therefore rec- ommend an appropriation by the next Legislature of a sufficient sum an- nually to support such a seminary of learning." At the next session of the legislature an act was passed for the establishment and maintenance of a Normal University, and it was approved by the governor, February 18, 1857. The act provided that no part of the college and seminary funds should be used for the erection of buildings ; these were to be built by the place at which the school should be located. The act which established the normal school created C. B. Denio, of JoDaviess county; Simeon Wright, of Lee county; Daniel Wilkins, of McLean county; C. E. Hovey, of Peoria 8 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY county ; George B. Rex, of Pike county ; Samuel W. Moulton, of Shelby county; John Gillespie, of Jasper county; George Bunsen, of St. Clair county; Wesley Sloan, of Pope county; Ninian W. Edwards, of Sangamon county; John Eden, of Moultrie county ; Flavel Mosley, of Cook county ; William H. Wells, of Cook county ; Albert R. Shannon, of White county, and the superintendent of public instruction, ex officio, with their associates and successors, a body corporate and politic, to be styled the Board of Education of the State of Illinois, whose duty it was to make all laws necessary for the govern- ment of the normal university. These gentlemen met in May at the office of the State superintendent, who was, ex oflicio, secretary of the board, and organized by electing Samuel W. Moulton, permanent president. It was made the duty of the board to fix the location of the school at the place which offered the most favorable in- ducement for that purpose: "Provided that such location shall not be difficult of access, or detrimental to the welfare and prosperity of said normal university." That the school was to be located at the point making the highest and best bid was widely advertised in the newspapers of the state, and as a consequence several cities became com- petitors for the prize. When the Board met at Peoria, May 7, 1857, to open the bids and decide upon the location, it found that Batavia, Washington, in Tazewell county, Peoria, and Bloomington were the principal bidders. But as the bids of Bloomington and Peoria were much higher than those of the others, it was evident one or the other of them would get the school. Peoria offered in money : Individual subscription $25,032 City corporation 10,000 County Board of Supervisors 15,000 Total in money 50,032 The highest priced site which it offered was valued at. 30,000 So that the total bid of Peoria was 80,032 Several prominent residents of McLean county, chief among whom was Hon. Jesse W. Fell, were determined to have the school located near Bloomington. Some of them had bought land near the crossing of the Illinois Central and Chi- cago and Alton railroads. This land they had platted into town lots as an addition to the little village of North Bloom- ington, as the place was then named. They desired to sell at a profit, and they believed they could do so, if the normal school should be located in the vicinity. Besides the pecuniary ad- ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. vantage that would result from the location, Mr. Fell believed that it would be the means of building up an intelligent com- munity, which he desired very much, as his family residence was but a short distance from the "Junction." Even previous to the act of the legislature establishing the normal school he was laboring, with some prospects of success, to found a col- lege or seminary at North Bloomington. But when the state decided to establish a school for the preparation of teachers he bent all his energies towards obtaining its location at that point, believing that such a school was sure to bring in an ex- ceptionally fine class of people. Being a very enthusiastic and influential man, he succeeded in getting others to see the pe- cuniary, intellectual, and moral advantages that would result from the location. Satisfied that the school would be of great benefit to the community, Mr. Fell and his co-workers earnestly endeavored to bring it to North Bloomington. They did not confine them- selves to appeals through the press, but labored incessantly with private individuals, and set a good example by subscrib- ing liberally themselves. As a result they obtained pledges for $50,000, in money and lands. And the court of county commissioners subscribed an equal amount for the county, from the proceeds of the 27,000 acres of swamp land which had been donated to the county by the Federal government, thus bringing the entire subscription up to $100,000. In order to be sure that Peoria county did not outbid them, the McLean county "workers" sent a confidential agent to Pe- oria to ascertain, if possible, what that county was going to bid. He reported there was danger that it would get the school unless McLean county was ready to bid more than it had then pledged. On receiving this report, Mr. Fell and his associates increased their own subscription and succeeded in getting others to increase theirs until the individual subscrip- tions in money and land reached about $71,000. The county commissioners added $20,000 to the subscription of the county, so that the representatives of McLean county were prepared, on that fateful May 7, to offer : Individual subscription in money and land $71,000 Subscription by the county court 70,000 Total $141,000 This amount was so far in excess of that offered by Peoria that the Illinois State Normal University was declared located in McLean county : Provided that the full amount of the 10 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY county subscription of $70,000, should be legally guaranteed within sixty days, in default of which the location was to be changed to Peoria. The Board of Education employed Abra- ham Lincoln to draw up a form of bond or guaranty to be signed by responsible citizens of Bloomington. This guaranty was thought to be necessary, as a future county court might re- consider the appropriation. The guaranty was duly signed and certified, and the signers suffered no loss as the county stood by the action of its commissioners and eventually paid its subscription in full. Among the donations of land were the sixty acres consti- tuting the campus, given by Joseph Payne and Meshack Pike, with the proviso that if the land should cease to be used for normal school purposes, it should revert to the donors, their heirs, or assigns. These gentlemen also gave twenty acres west of the campus, and Judge David Davis and E. W. Bake- well each gave forty acres. This eighty lies at the intersec- tion of Main Street and Sudduth Road, and will some day be the experiment farm of the school. North Bloomington, at the time of the location of the nor- mal school, was a town site without a town and with no spe- cial reason for its existence. It was situated on the open prairie, but thru the foresight and labor of Mr. Fell in planting shrubbery and trees, Normal is today a beautiful and well- shaded town. The name Normal was given to the little village and to the six miles square of which it is the principal point, after the location of the school, the date being April 6, 1858. "Mr. Fell also took a remarkable step towards bringing to the town a desirable class of residents, by providing in all deeds to purchasers of lots in North Bloomington, that intoxi- cating liquors should never be sold on the premises ; and this stringent prohibition was afterward re-enforced by a town charter, which was intended to be entirely prohibitory. This charter needed amendments, however, in 1867, to make it as fully operative as the inhabitants desired, and a petition was circulated asking the legislature to make such changes as should perpetually restrain the town or city authorities from ever licensing the sale of intoxicating liquors. It is a remark- able fact that this petition was signed by every man and woman, and every child over seven years old, in a town which then contained 1,800 inhabitants."* The location of the school being settled, the next step was to elect a principal, or president. Two men were mentioned "History of McLean County, 1879. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 11 for the position, Mr. Phelps, of the New Jersey normal school, and Mr. Charles E. Hovey, superintendent of the Pe- oria schools. Fortunately for the school, Mr. Hovey was elected. As Mr. Fell was the main force in bringing it to North Bloomington, so Mr. Hovey was the main force in bringing it into existence. Without him it is doubtful if there would have been a normal school in Illinois in the fifties, and possibly not in the sixties. As a result of the discussion at the Peoria meeting, in 1854, Mr. Hovey decided that there was no good reason why the col- lege and seminary funds could not be used 'to endow a normal school. Having reached this conclusion, and seeing the great need of such an institution, he fought steadily with the pen, on the stump, and in the lobby, for the establishment of the school, until by the aid of a few other friends of the scheme he succeeded. With his election to the principalship Mr. Hovey's real troubles began. Some friends of education wanted the school to be a university in fact, as well as in name, and were disap- pointed when the curriculum did not include all branches of knowledge. Others looked for immediate results, and were displeased with what they considered the slowness of those in authority. There was a difference of opinion in the Board it- self as to what should be attempted, and how it should be ac- complished. One party favored borrowing a curriculum from one of the eastern schools; another preferred making a new curriculum better suited to the longitude and conditions. Be- sides these two parties, individual members held different views, and each party seemed to hold the principal responsible for carrying out its particular ideas. In order to gain time to arrange his course of study, and to keep the Board from hasty action, Mr. Hovey persuaded that body to appoint a committee to inspect the principal school buildings of this and other States ; he and Dr. Rex constituted the committee. They made a careful examination of the school architecture in Philadelphia, Trenton, New York City, Albany, and in many cities in Connecticut and Massachusetts. On their return, Dr. Rex, the chairman of the committee, sub- mitted a report to the board recommending for adoption the plans of the New Jersey normal school building. Mr. Hovey did not join in this recommendation, as he believed a better plan for his purpose could be devised. So he went over the several plans carefully with Mr. Randall, of Chicago, the architect engaged by the board. The plan agreed upon was 12 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY not a copy of any examined ; neither was it the architect's nor Mr. Hovey's, but the product of their joint labor. As soon as the plans and specifications could be prepared a contract was entered into for the construction of the build- ing, which was to be completed September i, 1858. The cor- ner stone was laid September 29, 1857, with impressive cere- monies. Rev. H. J. Eddy, of the Baptist church of Bloom- ington, offered prayer. Professor Daniel Wilkins read a letter from Governor Matteson, appropriate to the occasion. W. H. Powell, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, de- posited in the corner stone a copy of the school laws and of the different educational journals of the day. Mr. Jesse W. Fell deposited a list of all the contributors to the location of the normal school, and hoped to see the institution develop into a complete State University with an agricultural college and a model farm. Dr. E. R. Roe, editor of the Illinois Bap- tist, deposited all the Bloomington papers of the time and made a very appropriate speech. Judge A. J. Merriman, of the county court, completed the ceremonies by placing the up- per stone in position. Principal Hovey, assisted by Ira Moore, opened the school in Major's Hall, in Bloomington, October 5, 1857. There were twenty-nine pupils present the first day, and the number increased to 127 during the academic year. The prospects of the school were very favorable and all looked forward with pleasant anticipations to the time, presumably near at hand, when the school should be housed in the palatial building be- ing erected on the prairie near the "Junction." There were reasonable grounds for these expectations, for a time, as work on the building was pushed vigorously in the fall of 1857. But work was suspended in December because of the inability to pay the contractors the first payment on their contract as it fell due. This was discouraging in the ex- treme and caused much anxiety to the friends of the institu- tion. We cannot do better at this point than let Mr. Hovey tell of the troubles which beset the normal school building and its friends. He is entitled to this privilege as without his indomitable will and his tenacity of purpose that would not permit him to let go of the enterprise until success was achieved, it is difficult to say, for a certainty, what the result might have been, or if the normal school would be where it is. "But there came a time (he says) when we were not per- mitted to go on (with the work of teaching) in peace. Ques- tionings, which would not be quieted by plain answerings, ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 13 came again and again. I tried hard to bar them from the schoolroom, but could not. The great fact that not a blow had been struck on the university building for eighteen months, was known to everybody. It acted and reacted upon us de- pressingly. Were we to remain cooped up in Major's Hall for- ever? Must we, after flattering the public and ourselves with the grand idea of a model school in a model edifice, confess failure? The thought was wormwood, and the fact, if fact it should prove to be, was full of peril. We had carried the nor- mal school bill 'by the skin of our teeth,' and \vho knew but that the opposition might rally and repeal the law, armed with such a failure to carp at ?" "But what could be done? We had neither money nor credit. What we did have, applicable to building purposes, was a subscription which could not then be collected, and per- haps never. The suspension of work on the building, in De- cember, 1857, was brought about by our inability to collect from this subscription six or seven thousand dollars to pay the contractors the first installment due them on their contract for work done. They reasoned, and sensibly, that if the subscrib- ers to the building fund, in the first flush of victory, while yet the ink was hardly dry with which they had recorded their 'promise to pay' would not or could not pay seven or eight thousand, out of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars (I use round numbers,) it would not do to rely upon them, or their subscriptions; and the sooner they (the contractors) stopped work the better it would be for them. So they stopped, and the suspension continued until the summer of 1859 more than a year and a half. Meanwhile matters grew worse. A great financial revulsion had swept over the country, carry- ing ruin to some subscribers, and greatly crippling others. Moreover, from this cause, or the lapse of time, or some other reason, the great body of donors seemed to carry their obli- gation more loosely, if possible, than at first. Some who had subscribed lands refused to deed them until the building should be fully completed, which was a repudiation of their subscrip- tion so far as any aid in erecting the building was concerned." "That part of the subscription made by the county of Mc- Lean was undoubtedly good, but remote. It was payable out of the proceeds of the sales of her swamp lands. These lands could not, by law, be sold for less than their appraised value, and would not then sell for that. Of course there were no pro- ceeds, and nothing due on her subscription. This subscription 14 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY was seventy thousand dollars nearly one-half of the entire amount." In the spring of 1859, WOI "k wa s resumed on the building. How this was made possible can best be told in Mr. Hovey's own words. "The board had decreed," he tells us, "that work on the building must go on somehow and now, and that the building committee must find the means. I was the local member of the committee, and for about twenty-nine days in each month, the only member 'comeatable,' and of necessity was compelled to act for the committee. "Never did man have worse means, or better backing. I remember especially Messrs. Moulton, Powell, Wright, Denio, and Rex, as taking a decided interest, and a full share of re- sponsibility. They would leave their own business at any time, on call, and repair to Normal. Powell spent months there. Moulton joined me on notes to borrow money for the work, on our individual responsibility, and so did Rex, later on. "The first step was to get clear of existing contracts, based upon cash payments, because we had no cash. "The second, to substitute other contracts, based upon bar- ter so much subscription for so much work or material. "The third, to accept labor or material of subscribers who could not pay money, but could pay these. "The fourth, to compromise with those not able to pay all, for a part. "It was purely a matter of barter, we traded, 'made turns,' compromised and got all out of the subscription there was in it, then laid it aside. * * * * "The board authorized the sending of an agent east to ef- fect, if possible, a sale of the county lands, and thereby hasten the payment of the county subscription. * * * * "At that time, C.M. Cady, Esq., was instructor in vocal cul- ture in the university, a man of tact and pluck, and not afflicted with any serious tenderness about investing his skill in an at- tempt to negotiate the sale of the county lands. So to Gotham he went, with a list and description of the lands in his pocket. He made something of a stir there, I judge, from the letters of inquiry which, soon after his arrival, began to come by every mail. But he needed something more than a list of the lands. He could do nothing without the bonds for deeds which ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 15 could be passed by simple endorsement. With these he could effect a sale, in fact, had virtually done so already. "I tried to get the bonds from the county authorities, but could not. They would enter into no transaction, save only to sell the lands. There was one way in which I could comply with Cady's suggestion. I could buy the lands myself, paying for them by a small cash advance, and the balance by time notes, and could take the bonds and do what I pleased with them. As this was the only path, I walked into it, and bought seven or eight thousand acres of land, at a cost of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars. The purchase was made in the in- terest of, and intended for the board, but without any author- ity, and it was never recognized. My notes, to the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars, or thereabout, were turned over to the treasurer of the board by the county, in part payment of her subscription; and the building committee paid them to A, B and C for labor or material. So they became widely scattered and gave me a 'heap' of trouble to take them up as they fell due. "But I got the bonds, and notified Cady. Meanwhile, the parties with whom he had been negotiating failed, and the bar- gain fell through ; nor did he succeed in finding another pur- chaser. I was now in a fix. As Deacon Homespun, or some other wise man said, or might have said, I had brought my pigs to a fine market. I could boast of numerous broad acres of swamp land, which nobody would buy, and for which I was in debt, and had nothing to pay. Besides, the transaction, in the turn it had taken, pretty clearly impeached my discre- tion, and might involve my honor. At any rate, it was a deli- cate matter, for my notes were held by the board, and should they fail to be paid promptly, or not to be paid at all, the board would have cause to complain of my unauthorized and rash purchase. "But, however it may have affected and embarrassed me, it proved a Godsend to the university. The sale got noised about as a big speculation. Over twenty-five thousand dollars worth of the county lands had been bought up by one party. (Mum about the party.) The transaction grew on every tongue, and soon reached colossal proportions. There must be something in these lands, after all. (And they will soon be gone, I took care to have suggested.) The wave was rising. Through Powell, we got the State officers at Springfield to invest (Hatch, Dubois, and Miller,) and took good care to have this fact related to Madam Rumor, who forthwith spread it thru 16 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY all the country round. Others took heart and bought lands; nor was it long before the funds in the treasury enabled us to begin operations. "We paid off Mortimer and Loberg, the contractors for the mason work, and they surrendered their contract. Mr. Soper, the contractor for the carpenter work, elected to retain his con- tract, go on with the job, and take his chances about getting his pay. "It was now necessary to find some mason who would un- dertake the construction of the walls of the building, and take his pay in the subscriptions. A man who could and would do this was hard to find. But by dint of much talk, of appeals to local pride and interest, and aided by the eclat of the recent sales of the county lands, we found him in the person of S. D. Rounds, Esq. He exacted the 'pick' of our assets, and took the cream of the subscription, leaving the skimmilk, and not much of it, to pay the carpenter, painter, plumber, and plas- terer. But it was the best we could do, and we did it. Even with this choice, the mason found great difficulty in complet- ing his job ; and although he succeeded, the walls crept up at a snail's pace, sometimes forgetting to creep at all for many weeks together, so that the heart grew sick at hope deferred. "It was absolutely necessary to provide some money. Work could not go on without it. It could not be obtained on the credit of the board. That matter was fully tested. Nor could it be obtained on private notes, based on the assets of the board. There was but one way. The friends of the institution must loan it money or credit. At first Moulton and I borrowed a few thousand dollars, which was soon gone. Then Messrs. Fell and Holder came forward and put their names to paper on which we got more money, and in this way, from time to time, when hard pushed, money was raised. I remember es- pecially in this connection, Jesse and Kersey Fell, and Charles and Richard Holder. Without them I see not how we could have succeeded. "I next went among the merchants of Bloomington, and told them I would be personally responsible that they should be paid out of the first money the board should receive for building purposes, if they would supply our carpenter, Mr. Soper, with what he needed, on credit. The legislature was to meet the ensuing January, and I told them it would appropri- ate for any deficiency there might be in the means to build the university building, and that they should have their pay out of said appropriation. So much I pledged. They consented, ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 17 and by this arrangement Mr. Soper was enabled to supply him- self with hardware, paints, oils, glass, some lumber, groceries, and all kinds of provisions and clothing for his family and his workmen; and when the appropriation was made, as I said it would be, I redeemed my promise, and caused them all to be paid. I considered this a lucky piece of financiering, and it was lucky for the institution; but it bequeathed to me one first-class lawsuit, and sundry smaller ones, and has cost me a good deal of money and trouble." This is the story of the financial embarrassment which be- set the pathway of the building committee, and well nigh ren- dered its efforts futile, as told by the principal member of the committee. His anxiety and fear of ultimate failure during those weary months when the work on the building was at a standstill, can more readily be imagined than described. Many men in his place would acknowledge defeat, give up the strug- gle, and let the building go by default. But he was not that kind of man. He had entered upon a great enterprise, one which was dear to his heart, and he was determined to suc- ceed, even if it promised to wreck his private fortune, and weigh him down, for many years, with debts which he had personally incurred in behalf of the building. And all friends of the Illinois State Normal University owe Charles E. Hovey a profound debt of gratitude. May his name be ever held in loving remembrance by them. Thru the means recited by Principal Hovey, the building was far enuf advanced in June, 1860, so that the graduating class (the first) held its exercises in the assembly room, and in the fall of that year, the school moved into its permanent quar- ters, altho the building was not completed until early in 1861. It is proper to state that the legislature of 1861, appro- priated $65,000 to complete the building and pay outstand- ing debts. A portion of this money was lost by the failure of many banks in 1861, and for this and other reasons, it was found necessary for the next legislature to appropriate $35,000 more before the debts were fully paid. CHAPTER II THE SCHOOL AND THE WAR BY JOHN H. BURNHAM, CLASS OF 1861 The school year of 1860 closed with the new Normal build- ing under roof and partially completed. The graduating exer- cises of the class of 1860 were held in the new structure, the upper hall having been cleared of lumber and carpenter's tools for the occasion. The attendance was very large. The Bloom- ington and Normal people furnished a collation, which was free to all and was served in the unfinished class rooms. The donations of land and money from the county and from the people of Bloomington and Normal had secured the location of the institution, and after the trials and tribulations which history records, the building was well under way to- wards final completion. A class of ten had graduated and the Normal was at the threshold of its great future career. The educational people who had anxiously watched the growth of the Normal idea from the days of the great Educational State Convention held in Bloomington, December 26, 1853, were delighted at seeing tangible evidences of the correctness of their theories, while those who had almost too liberally made donations for the sake of the future material benefits to Nor- mal, Bloomington, and McLean county, now saw the beginning of better times. It may be added from 1860 to the present the Bloomington people have appeared to take less and less interest in the Nor- mal commencements. The interest in 1860 was both an educa- tional and a bread and butter interest. The present interest is merely an academic or educational one, quiet, unemotional, and undemonstrative. During the summer vacation of 1860 there was great ac- tivity among the Normal workmen, and although the opening of the fall term was delayed later than usual, the new building ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 19 was not wholly finished when the term opened. The Normal assembly room and a few class rooms were ready for use, but it was a common thing for the carpenter's tools to interrupt class exercises, and quite as common for the classes to migrate from one unfinished room to another of the same character until nearly midwinter. During this transition period the two literary societies were also homeless, and as the rooms were unlighted, meetings were held under very great difficulties. The year 1860 was one of great political excitement. Lin- coln and Douglas were both Illinoisians, and each candidate had a wonderfully large personal acquaintance. There were per- haps from thirty to forty voters among the Normal students. The most of these could vote in Bloomington where they had resided for one or two years of their student life, but if they boarded at Normal they would lose their votes. Many of the students of this class therefore remained in Bloomington until after the day of the November election. Looking back at those days I wonder our political interest was so small. We discussed the slavery question with an al- most purely academic interest. We little realized how deeply the country was soon to be convulsed with the great question of war or peace. We supposed ourselves greatly interested in the result of the coming election and each one voted con- scientiously, but with little actual realization of the import- ance of the national election of 1860. There were four student voters where I boarded. One voted for Bell and Everett. I voted for Douglas and Stephens and the others for Lincoln and Hamlin. We frequently dis- cussed the question of the day but none of us realized that in less than one year we should all agree harmoniously that our duty to our country would overshadow all of our cherished personal plans, and that we should all be equally ready to de- fend the old flag. Before the end of the winter we all realized that a crisis in the affairs of Normal had arisen, and that unless the legis- lature should appropriate a large sum of money to pay the debt of the still uncompleted building the institution would be suspended. As state after state seceded from the union, as the finances of the nation and state became more and more confused, it was considered very doubtful whether the Illinois legislature under all of the threatening conditions, would be able to rise to the occasion and appropriate the money needed. 20 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY When the legislature came in a body to visit the school in January, 1861, we all felt it to be a special duty to put our best feet forward, in case any footsteps were to be taken, and every student and teacher loyally performed whatever duty fell to his or her lot in showing ourselves off to the best advantage. Great was our rejoicing when within a few days after the legislature visited us we learned that the needed $65,000 had been appropriated, and we believed that our Normal had earned a new lease of life, but whether it could live through the convulsions of the dreaded Civil War was a most momen- tous question. When Fort Sumpter was fired on in April, 1861, and after the president's call for 75,000 men was issued, we could scarcely keep our minds on our studies, and when Joseph G. Howell, Principal of the Model School, of the class of 1860, resigned his position and volunteered with five Normal and Model School pupils, we were almost panic struck. But for President Hovey's cool preparations most of our young men would have enlisted wherever a vacancy could be found. President Hovey soon employed a drill master, Captain John W. White, to teach us military tactics after school hours and on Saturdays, and the threatening hegira was arrested. Acceding to Howell's wish the faculty placed me in charge of the Model School, and the bereaved pupils reluctantly but loyally transferred as much good will to me as they could un- der the circumstances. The Normal and Model School received, in February, 1862, a terrible shock, when the tidings came of the death of Lieutenant Howell at the battle of Pittsburg Landing, and a very few days later his remains were lying in state in Bloom- ington. Normal's heart was almost broken with grief, shared by the whole community, a grief which remains fresh to this very day, as is made evident to observers who see the marble tablet to his memory placed twenty-five years ago by Normal and Model School friends of the lamented Howell, in the room once occupied by this hero. In 1 86 1 and for several years later the Normal and Model Schools were under the same roof. Three of the rear rooms of the first floor were used by the Model School, but there was no training school, and not even a day's observation of teach- ing methods was granted to the graduating class of 1861. I was a member of this class, but my studies of the last term, ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 21 while teaching in the Model School, were conveniently skipped, probably as a war measure, and I fear that in some other re- spects the graduating class of 1861 was made to share the gen- eral deficiencies of those warlike times. As the first call for troops was for 75,000 men for three months' service, which was immediately rilled, some of us soon began to be beguiled by Secretary Seward's smooth explana- tion that the war would be over in ninety days. Normal students tried hard to go on with the studies of the course, although careful thinkers were predicting what soon came to pass, that the next call for troops would be called for three years unless sooner discharged. The probability of a long war kept up our drilling and we came to the conclusion that before the end of the coming summer we might be pre- pared for the worst, and that, if needed, our Normal Rifles, the original company of Normal and Model students, about fifty- five in number, would go to the war in a body. During this summer term of 1861 throughout the country at large, all was confusion and uncertainty, with daily and hourly telegraphic messages of war and war's alarms, but the school kept on in the uneven tenor of its ways. The regular studies partially engrossed our attention, while the excitement of the outside world distracted our thoughts to a greater or less extent. Hope is ever buoyant in the hearts of the young, and when our elders were so generally of the opinion that the Southern- ers were merely attempting to gain by threats and bravado what had been denied them at the polls, what wonder that we were early converts to Seward's ninety day prediction ? It may therefore be confidently asserted that most of our Normal students were thoughtful enough and brave enough to pursue their studies with fair proficiency under all of these exciting circumstances. The Normal Rifles held their last parade on the first of July, 1 86 1, and when the term closed on the second of the month, the little company separated with the understanding that if necessary and possible, the company would enlist as a body for the war. Events traveled rapidly in those fateful days, and soon after the dreadful battle of Bull Run, July 21, President Hovey was Colonel Hovey, with authority to raise a regiment of troops for the rebellion. The Normal Rifles became Com- pany A, 33rd regiment, Illinois Infantry Volunteers. Prof. L. H. Potter was captain of this company, and I had the honor 22 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY of being its first lieutenant. G. H. Norton, brother of the gifted Henry B. Norton, one of my classmates, became second lieutenant. He belonged to the class of 1862, but was never able to return to his Normal studies. His term of office ended August 5, 1863, his having been wounded at Vicksburg being the cause of his resignation. Harvey J. Button, one of the graduating class of 1861 entered Company A as sergeant, and became captain August 5, 1863. My own term as captain commenced September 6, 1862, and ended April i, 1863. Prof. Ira Moore, of the Nor- mal faculty, who commenced with Hovey and the school in 1857, entered service as a commissioned officer, and was cap- tain of Company G. Moses I. Morgan, of the graduating class of 1 86 1, was captain of Company B. Aaron Gove, now living in Denver, Colo., one of the graduating class of 1 86 1, entered the regiment as 2nd Lieutenant of B Com- pany, 33d 111. Inf., and afterwards became Regimental Ad- jutant. He served later as Brigade assistant adjutant gen- eral with the rank of Captain. H. H. Pope, one of the early students of 1857, was captain of Company D. The regimental surgeon was Dr. George P. Rex, of Perry, Pike county, who was a member of the State Board of Education, and Simeon Wright of Kinmundy, another member of the Board, was our Quartermaster. In all, forty-six members of the regiment were Normalites and these formed the nucleus of the 33rd, or Normal Regiment, as it was called for some time, after the original home of the regiment, a name it will carry in some circles at least, if not officially, as long as its fame will endure. Its reputation was made at the start from the fact that stu- dents, teachers, and educational men were invited to join its ranks and they did join in respectable numbers. The place of origin, the State Normal University, gave it great prominence and caused it to be noticed and watched by thoughtful men, not only in Illinois but all over the west. There was one other western regiment, the 42nd Ohio r whose colonel was the president of a college. I recollect that while we were taking some preliminary steps towards our own organization, Colonel Hovey mentioned that Colonel Gar- field's 42nd Ohio regiment was the only other student regiment that he had heard of and he concluded his remarks by saying, "Watch that man Garfield." I did watch him, and when he became candidate for president in 1880 I was more enthusiastic ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 23 in his behalf than I have been for any other presidential can- didate. The Normal regiment found itself at Pilot Knob, Mo., September 20, 1861. Here and near here its officers and sol- diers were taught many of the important first lessons in sol- diery and military tactics. Although the Normal contingent formed the nucleus of the 33rd regiment, yet it contained more than nine hundred other members who sometimes felt the Normalites were a little too much inclined to over-rate themselves, and considerable jealousy was early aroused, disappearing, however, as soon as it was seen that we were always ready to prove by acts and not by words that we were in the war for the good of the cause, and not to promote our own selfish interests. It was not long before we were proud of our comrades, and our com- rades were proud to be associated with those who had orig- inated the idea of the schoolmaster's regiment. Its first baptism of fire was at Fredericktown, Mo., Octo- ber 21, 1 86 1, just enough like war to give us a slight zest for more, not a man killed, not a drop of the Regiment's blood spilled, and the victory was important. In camp at Ironton, Mo., during the winter of 1861 and 1862, our regiment suffered from sickness but gradually im- proved itself in military drill, and perfected itself in hard marching during the following spring and summer. Colonel Hovey won his promotion on this march, which is the main reason for the insertion of a brief account of the bat- tle of Bayou Cache, July 7, 1862. Our regiment formed a part of the advance guard of Gen- eral Curtis' army of 15,000 men, marching thru Missouri and Arkansas on the way to Little Rock. The Rebels, for several days, obstructed our march by felling trees in the roads and in other ways, without giving us fight. On the morning of July 7, four companies of the 33rd regiment, with as many more from the nth Wisconsin regiment, were reconnoitering in advance, removing the blockades, when we fell into an am- bush of Texan rangers. We were driven back at first with severe loss, although not until Company A in charge of a small cannon belonging to an Indiana battery had resisted a savage attempt to capture the gun. First Sergeant Edward M. Pike, a Normal student now living at Chenoa, 111., aided by one other man, coupled the cannon by main strength to its fore- most wheels, barely saving it from capture, just as the rebels 24 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY were on the point of reaching for the artillery horses' bridles. He received a bullet through his cap and for his muscular ac- tivity, daring and bravery, was a few years ago given, by the Secretary of War, a medal of honor, which is the only medal granted to a member of the 33rd regiment, to my knowledge. Captain Potter, in command of our company, was severely wounded, with several others. Just as we started to the rear he gave me the command of the company and told me to take it back to the rear. As a matter of fact the company or some- thing else was taking me rapidly back to the rear without or- ders, and I shall never forget my satisfaction at being under orders to do what was so remarkably agreeable as was that retreat, and feeling that of all that rushing throng pushing our way to the rear amidst the crashing bullets and falling branches, I was perhaps the only one fortunate enough to be acting under orders. Colonel Hovey was in the rear with the main army, but fortunately was mounted and on his way to join us when he heard the sound of battle and rode like the wind to our assist- ance. He met our retreating forces, about five hundred in all, and instantly attempted with great success to halt the troops at a good point for resistance. I shall never forget his courage- ous and desperate attempts to rally the troops. I was very near to his person when some rebel buckshot passed through his clothing and cut the skin of the upper part of his breast. The pain was intense as the first sensation was like being shot thru the lungs. He turned pale and staggered, and just as I was almost near enuf for assistance, I saw him tear open the cloth- ing and feel of his wound. In an instant his countenance brightened as he drew forth his hand containing two or three buckshot which had merely penetrated the skin. He said im- mediately, "It is nothing but a flesh wound and some buckshot. I am not hurt," and immediately proceeded more vigorously than before to arrange the disorganized soldiers for desperate defense. The rally was successful, other troops arrived, the force of Texans was soon driven back and we were grandly victorious. Colonel Hovey was deservedly made brigadier-general for this exploit. His promotion carried the promotion of Captain Potter to be major of the regiment, and as I was next in line, this promoted me to be captain. I had done nothing to deserve this and was simply carried along by the rush of other promo- tions, much as I had been carried to the rear under orders in CHARLES EDWARD HOVEY First President, 1857-1861. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 25 the action itself. General Hovey soon left us to take com- mand of a brigade of other troops. He participated in the bat- tle of Chickasaw Bayou, and also in the capture of Arkansas Post, where he was wounded by a bullet which was declared by good authority to have passed through both arms. Con- gress on March 13, 1865, made him brevet major general, enumerating among other merits, "Especially for meritorious conduct at Arkansas Post." This act of Congress closed Gen- eral Hovey's military record with all of the honor that his best friends could possibly desire. A fruitless winter's march in southern Missouri in 1862 and 1863 was followed in March by an order to proceed to Vicksburg, where the regiment became attached to the famous 1 3th Army Corps under Gen. John A. MacClernand and its real military fighting history now commenced. It took an active part in the battles of Port Gibson, Cham- pion Hills, Magnolia Hills and in the terrific charge on Vicks- burg, earning the official thanks of General Grant, and special mention in his published "Memoirs," written after the war. The regiment's loss in the Vicksburg battles amounted to no less than thirty officers and men killed, and nearly one hun- dred wounded, and its services have been commemorated by the State of Illinois with a beautiful regimental monument placed in 1906 on the site of its most terrible conflict. The name of every Illinois soldier engaged in the Vicksburg battles is engraven in lasting bronze tablets in the interior of this grand monument, erected in 1906. I left the regiment at Millikin's Bend on the first day of April, 1863, having resigned in February on account of ill health. These tablets contain the names of all members of the army who were in the army on March 29, and I under- stand my own name is on the tablet, the same as if I had been under fire during these battles. Just another case of my good luck which followed me during my entire army service, simply because of being in good company. The history of the 33rd Illinois Regiment was published by the survivors in 1902, and it is a remarkable historical rec- ord, said to be one of the very best regimental histories ever published in any state, east or west. Mr. V. G. Way, of Gib- son City, Illinois, was the compiler and author, assisted by other members. Col. I. H. Elliott, the regiment's last and best loved commander, wrote its military records in first-class military style. 26 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY I wrote the introduction and the sketch of the organization of the Normal Company, and Capt. H. J. Dutton brought the company's history down to the end of the war. This publica- tion, with the government's official history of the rebellion, and with the Judge Marshall's Army Life, written and pub- lished in 1883 at Joliet by O. A. Marshall, now Judge Mar- shall, a member of Company A, but not a Normal student, taken altogether, constitutes a full and permanent written his- tory of the Normal heroes of 1861. We may state briefly that immediately after the fall of Vicksburg the regiment was at the siege of Jackson, and that it took part later in 1863 in the capture of Fort Esperanza in Texas. Just at the close of the war in 1865, it was at the capture of Ft. Blakeley at Mobile, and at Spanish Fort, Mobile, Ala. Its banners are officially entitled to be emblazoned with the following battles : Fredericktown, Mo., Bayou Cache, Ark., Port Gibson, Miss., Grand Gulf, Miss., Champion Hills, Miss.> Magnolia Hills, Miss., Vicksburg, Miss., Black River, Miss., Siege of Jackson, Miss., Fort Esperanza, Texas, Blakeley, Ala., and Spanish Fort, Ala. Soon after the Normal Rifles were organized at Normal the ladies of Normal prepared and presented a beautiful flag to the company, on which occasion Miss Sophie J. Crist of the graduating class of 1861, delivered a very appropriate address to the assembled company in the upper hall of the Normal building. This same flag was carried by the regiment for a short time after its organization and then given into my pos- session. It is now preserved in the museum of the Normal University. The fact that the regiment was partially composed of teachers and educational men, was the means of a set of regimental colors being presented to the regiment by the school teachers of Chicago and Cook county. These colors reached the regiment in October or November, 1861, at Ironton, Mo., ac- companied by a delegation of Chicago teachers. When they were worn out, and torn and tattered in the battles of Vicksburg, the color bearer having lost his life in battle, the staff and colors riddled, bleached out, and with blood stains, which can be detected to the present day, they were replaced by a new and beautiful set from the same source as the first. These flags, preserved to the present time, are now in the care of the McLean County Historical Society at Bloomington, be- ing kept in a beautiful case with several other McLean flags,, labeled and carefully rolled up, so tattered and torn that ii* all probability they will never be unrolled. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 27 The crowning act of patriotism which should ever stand out to the everlasting credit of this regiment, was its re-en- listing on the desolate Texas coast in 1864 for another three years' service as a Veteran Volunteer Regiment. Nothing in the history of American volunteering exceeds in patriotism and devotion to country the re-enlisting of a regiment in the face of the enemy, and the public have never given and never will give, the great credit deserved by these heroes of 1864, of whom at least 100,000 were enlisted in the Grand Army of the Republic in the last years of the war. The following lines written by a member of the regiment will express the sentiments of the re-enlisting volunteers of this regiment : "Farewell to home, farewell to kindred; We have pledged ourselves for three years more; We will each be in at the death of treason, Or perish in the I3th Army Corps." Space will not permit further allusions to the acts of the Normal regiment, and we can only refer to the final muster out of this veteran regiment on December 7, 1865. The space given in this chapter to the 33rd Illinois Regi- ment, is believed to be deserved on account of the prominence given to the Normal regiment by the fact that this regiment originated at Normal, but we do not forget that a very much larger number of students enlisted in other Illinois regiments. The records show that one hundred and twenty-eight Normal and Model School students volunteered in different regiments from the beginning to the end of the war. The military his- tory of all of these is to be found in the State Adj. General's Reports and other places, and it is very much to be regretted that these military records, equally heroic, equally patriotic, equally important, cannot be given here. The fact that the most important volunteering of Normal students during the war, occurred after the departure of the 33rd Regiment, as given in the several lists, shows the value to the institution of having the military records of all of its members available in compact form. The record of P. R. Walker, one of the grad- uates of 1 86 1, may be taken as a sample of these isolated, in- dividual enlistments, amounting to nearly eighty in all. He taught school one year, and when the great call came for vol- unteers in 1862, he went into the Q2nd 111. Infantry and rose to be second Lieutenant before the end of the war. When the fall term of 1861 commenced it was found that the Normal University had almost been broken up by the war. SEMI-CENTENNIAL, HISTORY Even the new students who entered in the fall of 1861 were tempted to desert the Normal School and enlist in different companies and regiments, though the heaviest enlistment took place after the close of that school year, during the late sum- mer and early autumn of 1862. It is a fact not generally known that of the young men who were members of the three classes of 1860, 1861, and 1862, every one not physically disabled volunteered in the army, and it is believed that a very similar condition existed among the young men who were not graduates. This will show at once that the war changed the membership of the institution from a fairly equal division between the sexes, into an unequal dis- tribution, throwing the teaching profession almost entirely into the hands of the women, a condition which has continued to exist to the present. But for the war, the early graduates would probably have given the institution something of the popular reputation which came later, and no one will ever be able to estimate the changes in Normal's personnel and meth- ods caused by the war. One thing is positively known, and this is, that the patriotic reputation which the institution gained and which will never be taken away, is safe, a reputation of which the whole state has been proud. The Normal University was placed temporarily, as it was believed, and as it actually proved, under charge of Mr. Per- kins Bass, of Chicago, one of the members of the State Board of Education. He was a graduate of Dartmouth College, a great friend of Colonel Hovey and of the Normal cause, and he successfully carried the school through the disorganized school year which ended with the summer term of 1862. The third graduating class proved to be about as large as its predecessors. Some of its members had remained only to complete the course, with the intention of immediately enlist- ing at the expiration of the school year. Among this number was Logan Holt Roots, who at once joined the immense army of new soldiers called out by the call for 600,000 volunteers in the summer of 1862, the great patriotic year of the war. In the fall of 1862, Pres. Richard Edwards took charge of the institution, and brought with him a knowledge of Normal methods of training, which has changed the whole character of the institution from 1862 to the present time. Great attention has been given to imparting a knowledge of correct methods of teaching. Previous to that date almost the whole strength of the teaching force had been given to the acquirement of a ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 29 most complete and thorough knowledge of the subjects to be taught, leaving the pupils to adapt their future methods of teaching mainly as exigencies and contingencies might con- front them in actual experience. Higher mathematics and Latin, which were formerly a part of the course, were made optional, and enough work has been added to keep the classes busy, possibly more than enough in the opinion of the pupils themselves. Looking backward, the older graduates see how many gaps were left open in their early education, and looking forward they are led to hope and believe that the newly adopted branches in the Normal course will be well adapted to continue to future Normal graduates that meed of public approval which has always been so generously granted in the past.

The former has perhaps not usually been so counted. OTHER LITERARY SOCIETIES. THE EDWARDS DEBATING CLUB. Back in the seventies there existed a literary society known as the Edwards Debating Club. All records seem to be lost. It is safe to say that the organization was not in existence much before 1870. As its name suggests the prime feature of its program was the debate. Its membership included men only. The meetings \vere held, part of the time at least, in the White room, in the basement. Probably with little more change than one of name, in 1879, this organization was trans- formed into THE CICERONIAN SOCIETY. The Ciceronian Society continued, as its forerunner, the Edwards Debating Club, had been, a society for men only, the debate continued the back-bone of the program, the meetings were still held in the White room. Later the membership out- grew the capacity of the White room, and meetings were held in the northwest room in the basement. Still later the Cicer- onians arranged for the use of the Wrightonian hall on Friday evenings. This has been the usual place of meeting in later years tho some meetings have been held in various reci- tation rooms. The membership of Cicero has fluctuated greatly, at times including nearly all the men of the school, and at times dwindling to a mere handful. The interest, too, in the work of the society has varied greatly. The Ciceronian Society, with no ladies present, with its smaller membership, in its atmosphere of freedom, has af- forded an opportunity especially valuable to beginners in de- bate and not by any means without its value for those of much experience. Once in three or four weeks the meeting has been held, for many years, in the form of a model senate. Here have been introduced, advanced to a second or last reading, 154 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY and passed or defeated, with an expedition quite unknown to its federal namesake, some of the most important measures of recent generations. Republicans, and democrats, and populists have had, upon such occasions, ample opportunity to chew each other up in approved fashion. Within Cicero, too, have existed peculiar political parties. Conservatives, Liberals, the Ciceronian party, as well as Democrats and Republicans, have striven for mastery. Florid nominating speeches, exciting campaigns, hotly contested elections have been the order of the day. Next to debate and politics, Cicero has been famed for her devotion to business and her attention to rules of order. If there wasn't sufficient business on hand it was manufac- tured. While such practice may be valuable it must be guarded carefully or it will degenerate into mere horse-play. A pleasant feature in connection with the social side of the Ciceronian's life has been the friendly relation that has com- monly existed between Cicero and the Sapphonian Society. Open meetings of Cicero to which the Sapphonians might come, social functions, given by the one or the other organiza- tion to the other, occurred for years. Of late Sappho seems to have found a rival in the shape of the younger ladies' so- ciety the Girls' Debating Club. THE SAPPHONIAN SOCIETY. The following is taken from the first issue of the Vidette February, 1888: "The ladies of the school have organized a literary society, called the Sapphonian, which promises to be a great benefit to them." "One Friday evening in October (1887) a number of the ladies made up their minds to surprise and embarrass the mem- bers of the Ciceronian society by making them a visit. They carried with them fancy work, for they had an idea that Cic- ero was a very tedious place and that they would need some- thing to amuse them, but 'great oaks from little acorns grow,' and they became so much interested in the work that they then and there determined to found a society of their own. The society tho small at first has constantly grown and now feels strong enuf to risk a contest with the members of Cicero, which is to be held Friday evening, March 23. The officers are elected once in four weeks, so that all receive drill in pre- siding, and the parliamentary rules are so well understood that the ladies are now able to second a motion in the Philadelphian or the Wrightonian Society without any fear of being called IIJJNOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 155 to order The society holds its meetings in the Phila- delphian hall and, much to the surprise of the gentlemen, who are not allowed to attend, and who prophesied it a short life, it grows every day." The account of the Sapphonian Society in the first Index (1892) quotes the above, characterizing it however as a "legend." It recounts that in the fall of 1887 half a dozen young women called a meeting of all the girls of the school, that the meeting discussed the matter of forming a girl's so- ciety, was addressed by students and by Miss Flora Pennell, now Mrs. Parr, then preceptress, appointed a committee to draft a constitution, which committee reported a week later. At that time the organization was completed, Miss Louise be- ing elected president. The Sapphonian Society and the Cicer- onian Society early exchanged the courtesies of invitations to open meetings. A contest with Cicero, Shakespearean plays, parliamentary drills, etc., were features of the early work. The rest of this sketch has been contributed by Mrs. Elizabeth Mavity Cunning-ham- Former members of the two "old" literary societies are wont to say that among their most valued possessions are qualities arising from their experiences within the society walls. A certain ease of address, a quickness of thought and appropriateness of speech, and a courteous and conscientious willingness to co-operate with others must of course result at least in a measure from active work in a literary society ; and persons familiar with customs at the old Normal will recall the habit of Normal presidents of laying stress upon these val- ues of society membership, when reading, each term, the list of students drawn into the Philadelphian and the Wrightonian Societies. I mention these things because from twelve years' acquaintance with the work of the Sapphonian Society I be- lieve it to be second to none of the societies of the school in the opportunities it offers for growth in the qualities named above. From the Vidette account of its origin, however, it would appear that at first the Sapphonian Society was modeled after the existing institutions, serving chiefly to give another op- portunity to do the same kind of literary work. The increased amount of practice must have been helpful. But after some years, there grew up among the women students a feeling that the society did not satisfy their needs for study and expression. They felt it too much a duplication of the others. They asked the advice and help of Miss Colby, then newly come to the school as preceptress and professor of literature, and re- 156 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY organized then, fifteen years ago, on the plan which has given the society its greater possibilities for usefulness. The present plan makes the society very unlike the other organizations of the school in its working details, and avoids one of the difficulties besetting them the non-active member. The society is composed of groups called committees, whose number and whose lines of work depend upon the needs and wishes of the women students of the school. Regular fort- nightly meetings of each committee and the uniting of all the committees in open meetings on the intervening weeks, make up the life of the society. The committee meetings are regu- larly devoted to the chosen lines of study; in the open meet- ings each committee in turn gives a program. It is rarely the case that a member does not take part both in committee and on program. Paper, talk, recitation, dramatic representation, music, on the program, are drawn from the work done in the committee; so that in general the programs are themselves each a growth, and each member's part is a growth. The ill- prepared or hastily-got-up exercise is the exception. New committees may be formed whenever a need arises. No one need hunger for an opportunity to exercise in any field of thought or endeavor, if only she can find other girls in the school who will join her. Some woman member of the fac- ulty is asked to serve as adviser, and the committee meetings are usually held at her home. The plan of reading or other study is laid out in the case of most of the committees for the entire school year. There is always a literature committee; usually a music committee; of recent years, a travel commit- tee. For some years, there was a current history committee; for a time, an English history committee, and an athletic com- mittee. Recently there has arisen a college committee. There may be whatever the girls of the school wish to have; and while the work is chiefly done in committee, the programs at the open meetings make the interest and advantage of the study of each group evident to the others and to visiting non- members. All girls of the school are invited to attend. The relative informality of the programs and the friendly, gracious atmosphere that invests all the meetings are helpful to timid girls as well as pleasant to all. Many a girl who has first learned to face an audience in the Sapphonian meetings, would not have learned this at all had there not been just such an opportunity. And besides, the Sapphonian Society has al- ways had many of the strongest and most active students of the school among its members, because they wished to have ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 157 the pleasure and the enlargement of living which are its pe- culiar gift to the school. The women of the faculty who are associated with the committees as advisers enjoy the pleasant associations thus made possible. They join with old students in a tribute to the efficiency and the beauty of this society as a student institution. And this article must not close without recognition of the part taken by Miss Colby in securing both the efficiency of the so- ciety's work and the beauty of its spirit. Her judgment, her wide knowledge, her whole-souled sympathy, and her time have for fifteen years been part of the capital of the society, freely given the girls to use in their pursuit of larger life, more liberty, and greater happiness. THE GIRLS' DEBATING CLUB. The following 1 was written by Miss Irene Blanchard. The Girls' Debating Club was organized in 1903 by a few young women who wanted better opportunities in debate. At first, they had a Model House every two weeks and engaged in many and lively discussions. As this was the only literary society which met in the afternoon and many young women find it more convenient to do their literary work at this time, membership soon increased. With the increase in the number of members, the programs became more general and the work more varied. Like all societies, the Girls' Debating Club has had its ups and downs, but the attendance is now regular and the spirit good. THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONS. THE Y. M. C. A. During the fall term of 1871 a few men of the school be- gan to agitate the matter of religious meetings for men stu- dents. The first meeting was held in a little Presbyterian chapel located south of the Alton track on Linden street. The building was later moved into another part of town and seems now to have disappeared. The heating apparatus of the chapel was defective, the room was often cold, smoky, and very un- inviting, and soon the meeting was taken to a small room in the basement of the Methodist church, and later, as the attend- ance increased, to the regular lecture room in the basement. Early in January, 1872, after getting the advice of the gen- eral secretary of the Chicago association, the Normal organi- 158 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY zation was more formally organized, the association thus formed being the first student association in the State and the fifth in the United States. The officers then elected were: I. E. Brown, president; George Blount, vice president; Hi- ram Stewart, secretary. The last-named died shortly after, before he had transferred minutes of the first meetings from loose slips of paper to a permanent record-book, so that the earliest records are lost. During the winter of 1873 a notable revival was held under the auspices of the new association. In consequence about sixty students began the Christian life. The next winter an equally successful revival was held. At the time of the organization of the Normal Y.M.C.A. there was no State organization. The first State convention was held, however, in Bloomington in 1873. The Normal associa- tion as early as 1873 adopted the plan of meeting trains, help- ing students to find quarters, and inviting them to the Y.M.C.A. rooms. Two or three years after its organization the Y.M.C.A. became involved in society politics. There had been organized the so-called Liberal Club. Altho opposition to the orthodox religion had not been the purpose of the organization, yet the club studied, among others, books that in those times were commonly considered anti-orthodox, its members gave free expression to their views upon the society platforms, and ar- ranged programs upon which Liberals alone appeared. The crisis came when a president was to be selected for the Phila- delphian Society. The Liberals supported Charles McMurry, who, however, was not of their own number. He was zealously opposed by the Christian Association, but was elected. To the earliest history of the Normal Y.M.C.A., be- cause the association was the first of its kind in Illinois and the fifth in the country, attaches a peculiar interest that warrants the giving of the details above. It is not possible, however, to trace its later life in detail. The manner of work changed with time. Thus, during the greater part of the eighties there were no week day meetings of the associa- tion in the main building, nor were there meetings for men alone at any time, if the occasional meetings of men in evening Bible study classes be excepted. The regular association meeting was held with the Y.W.C.A. on Sunday afternoons in one of the churches. The issue of the Vidette for February, 1888, speaks of the discontinuance of these joint meetings and the new life, increased enthusiasm, and increased attendance at the Y.M.C.A. meetings in conse- J.

Sunday afternoon joint meetings occurred tho much later. The association early adopted the practice of sending delegates to the State association meeting. In 1891 began the custom of sending delegates to Geneva. A little hand-book is issued each year, giving useful information, etc., this in con- junction with the Y.W.C.A. For many years the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. supported at the expense of several hun- dred dollars annually, five or six native preachers in China, India, Armenia. At times there has been strong talk of a joint association building or of commodious hired quarters, but the association still "boards around." Bible classes, taught usually by the professors, evening prayer meetings in the churches or in the students' rooms, energetic fall canvassing for members, social functions, union meetings with the women's association, revival meetings under the lead of some evangelist, and unpretentious, never-ending struggles to be good and to help others to be good such are the topics that would receive attention were the history of the association to be written in more detail. The regular meeting is now held in the main building on each Friday evening. Once a month the meeting is a joint one with the Y.W.C.A. THE Y.W.C.A. This sketch was written by Miss Olive L. Barton, Training Teacher. To a student of college movements, more than ordinary in- terest centers about an organization that has proved itself a pioneer in a given line. The Young Women's Christian As- sociation of the Illinois State Normal University is proud to be recognized as the forerunner of what has since become a world-wide movement among college women. On a dismal Sunday afternoon in November, 1872, a group of six young women met for prayer in the room of Miss Lida A. Brown, now Mrs. McMurry, of the Northern Illinois Normal School. They found the hour a profitable one, and believed that others should share in the blessings that they had received. Accordingly they invited others to join them and the following Sunday held their meeting in the parlor of the old Congregational church. The interest increased and their numbers grew until they were soon obliged to use the body of the church for their meetings. In 1873 the church burned and the basement of the old Methodist church became their meet- ing place. With the growth in interest, the workers felt the need of closer organization. They saw in organized effort a 160 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY great opportunity to help the non-Christian women of the school. Early in the year 1873 a committee was appointed to draft a constitution. This committee consisted of Miss Myra Osband (Mrs. J. H. Sutton), preceptress of the Normal school, Miss Ida Witbeck (Mrs. Charles DeGarmo,) Miss Fannie B. Pace (Mrs. DeWitt Roberts,) and Miss Lida Brown. Finding the plan of work followed by the Young Men's Christian Association to be apparently suited to their needs, they based the draft of their constitution upon it. This was adopted January 19, 1873, an d the organization was styled, The Young Ladies' Christian Association. It was known by this name until September n, 1881, when it re- ceived its present name. The first officers under the old constitution were Miss Ida E. Brown (Mrs. James Cary,) deceased, president; Miss Ida Witbeck, vice president; Miss Emma V. Stewart (Mrs. I. E. Brown,) deceased, secretary; Miss Lida A. Brown, treasurer. These early officers gratefully remember the loyal help given them by Miss Harriet Case (Mrs Morrow), preceptress. The organization of the Normal Y.W.C.A. was soon fol- lowed by similar organizations in other educational institu- tions of Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. Were this a history of the Y.W.C.A. movement at large, much could be told of its growth, of its presence and activities in almost every Normal school, college, and university in the land; of its splendid achievements in home and foreign work ; of the noble young women of superior training and intellect who have given the best of their lives to its work. It is an occasion of gratitude and pride on the part of the young women of the I.S.N.U. that their organization is responsible for a movement of such wide- spread power for good. It would be impossible to trace in detail the development of the local association, and the careers of its officers and mem- bers. Young women of worth and pronounced ability have directed its forces. The entire school has received moral up- lift thru its presence. Young women have been given higher ideals and broader conceptions of their chosen life-work. It has been a vital force for good, and has contributed in no small part to the excellent equipment of the young people graduated by our noble institution. The organization in its present mem- bership and officers as also in the work accomplished, is equally worthy with its predecessors of the highest commenda- tion. Adapting itself to the increasing compexity of our pres- ent-day life, it has undertaken numerous lines of work, each ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 161 fruitful and practical in its place. Its members now number above seventy. The association anticipates a future of in- creased usefulness when in quarters adapted to its needs, and affording wider range of activities, it will be able to prove of greater help to the entire university. THE ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. The Oratorical Association was organized during the school year of 1887-88. The plan originated with Mr. Charles Beach, who served two years as president. The first contest in oratory was on the Friday evening before commence- ment, 1888. The prizes were: First, Johnson's Encyclopedia; second, Webster's Unabridged Dictionary; third, Shakes- peare's works. A board of management, consisting of fifteen members, arranged all details, and became perpetuated as the Oratorical Board. The winners in the first contest were Emile Simmons, W. J. Morrison, and Edward Bailey. In 1889 the winners were Harry Metcalf and C. C. Wilson; in 1890, James Wilson, John Cox; in 1891, Reuben Tiffany, Gary Col- burn; 1892, Mrs. R. O. Butterfield, Mack M. Lane; 1893, George H. Gaston, Harriet Hetfield; 1894, John Keith, J. W. Rausch. By this time the Philadelphian, Wrightonian, and the Sapphonian Societies had begun offering prizes to their members who ranked highest but who did not win either of the main prizes, a practice which was kept up for a time by these societies and by Cicero. In '95 Mary Robert won first place, while Charles Ryburn and Walter Pike tied for second. In 1896 two events of great importance for the association hap- pened. Our school joined the Interstate Oratorical League and Mr. Charles Beach, who while a student had had so much to do with organizing and conducting the association, offered to give annually one hundred dollars in cash and a gold medal to the winner in the contest. Robert J. Wells won and repre- sented the school in the interstate contest. The winners for the next three years were: Chester Echols, Hyatt Covey, J. Carl Stine. In 1900 a declamatory contest was added, Mr. Beach giving to the winner a gold medal and seventy-five dol- lars. Charles Whitten won the oratorical, and Maude Myers the declamatory contest. In 1901 the winners were Roy Bar- ton, in oratory, and Mamie Haines, in declamation. In 1902 so many contestants entered that the contests were held upon separate evenings ; Dorothy Dixon won in declamation, and Minnie Gay in oratory, the latter representing our school in 162 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY the newly formed State league. In 1903 Bertha Denning rep- resented us in the oratorical contest with DeKalb. The year 1904 marks the beginning of the present epoch in the history of the association. Mr. Beach had become unable to continue his liberal gifts, and another gentleman, who has never permitted his name to be mentioned publically in connec- tion with the matter, established the present Edwards prizes, consisting of costly gold medals, for the winners of first place in oratory and in declamation ; the arrangement being to com- memorate, aside from the good it may accomplish othenvise, the well-known devotion of Dr. Edwards to oral expression. Happily Dr. Edwards himself has been able to be present each year and bestow the prizes upon the winners, who have been as follows: 1904, Burley Johnson, Emelia Hertlein; 1905, Herbert Coons, Herbert Dixon; 1906, Emma Kleinau, Nina Hendickson; 1907, Miguel Nicdao, Esther Mansfield. The oratorical and declamatory contest is now held in March, near the close of the winter term. Many changes have been made from time to time in the constitution, but the board remains for the greater part one composed of student members selected by the school or appointed by the teacher of reading, who with one or two other members of the faculty is a mem- ber of the board. THE LECTURE BOARD. The Vidette of November, 1889, records that an effort is being made by a number of students to inaugurate a lecture course ; that those who are working up the matter believe five good lectures can be obtained at a cost to the individual of one dollar; that the lectures may be held upon Friday evenings so as to interfere little with school work ; that the originators of the scheme expect no compensation for their labors, and only request that the students respond generously when asked to purchase tickets. The Vidette of the following month an- nounced that the course was assured, that four first-class lec- tures had been secured, and that it was hoped one or two others might be added. The first lecture of this first course was delivered during the first week of the winter term of 1890. Charles Beach was the first president of the "Board of Con- trol of the Normal Students' Lecture Course," as the board was called in the original constitution. No musical numbers formed a part of the first course. The next year the so-called "People's Course" in Bloomington which had flourished for years and had been liberally patronized by Normal students, ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 163 was discontinued, and the Normal course became an assured success. The constitution, remodeled in 1892, established a board of twenty-five members, consisting each year of such members of the board of the preceding year as remained in school and such other members as these might select. Each member of the board was entitled to one double set of tickets free, but the board took the entire financial responsibility of the course. After two years the number of members of the lecture board was reduced to fifteen. Under the management described above, annually, for sev- eral years excellent lecture courses were given. The course of '93-4 consisted of six numbers, costing from $50 to $155 each. The next year seven numbers were given, costing from $100 to $200 each. The cost of the courses given continued to in- crease. In '96-7 an $1100 course was given; and for the fol- lowing two years the entire expenses of the courses aggre- gated $1200-$ 1 300. The limited capacity of the hall began to present a problem. The next year, '99-00, in spite of the de- creased attendance at Normal consequent upon the opening of the new normals, and in spite of the restoration of the lecture course in Bloomington, a ten-number course was successfully given. The next year the Inter-State Lecture Bureau instead of the Redpath Bureau, formerly patronized, furnished the numbers, with the exception of the oratorical and declamatory contest, which was one number in the eight-number course. In 1901-2 seven entertainments were purchased from the Red- path Bureau, the contest again being a number in the course. Competition with the Wesleyan course and decreased attend- ance threatened the financial success of the enterprise. The next year the course was only moderately successful financi- ally; and in 1903-4 was not a financial success. In the spring of 1904 a complete reorganization was effected. Under the present plan the lecture board consists of thir- teen members, four of whom are students, three members of the faculty; of the remaining six, five are pastors of Normal churches, and one the superintendent of schools. The price of season tickets has been cut from the old figure of $1.75 or $2.00 to $1.00, and for this sum it has been found possible to give annually during each of the last three years seven num- bers. The oratorical-declamatory contest is no longer a num- ber, and lecture bureaus are not ordinarily patronized. 164 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY ATHLETIC ORGANIZATIONS. As in most Normal schools, athletic interests at Normal have had a checkered career. Football found some devotees back in the eighties, and baseball long before that time, games occasionally occurring between organizations within the school or between a school team and one from the Wesleyan or some other institution. About 1890 the practice, said to have been in vogue years before, of holding a field day in the spring was revived and with some omissions, kept up for several years. Tennis was introduced in the spring of 1890 and within a year Normal had some excellent players. Early in the nineties Normal was playing good baseball and by the middle of the decade had one of the best football teams we have ever had. The discontinuance of the high school department gave ath- letics a set-back, and in later years baseball and football have had to contend with a decreasing proportion of men students. In September, 1896, basketball was introduced, and quickly attained popularity with both sexes. Systematic instruction in the game by a teacher is given, and Normal basketball teams from the first to the present have been good ones. Occasion- ally games have been had with other schools, but some of the most interesting contests have been between home teams. An Athletic Association, consisting of students and members of the faculty interested, has been in existence now for about ten years. The association selects a Board of Control and exer- cises a general control over all the athletic interests of the in- stitution. Under its management, with some off-years, both baseball and football have thrived, and basketball has retained continual popularity. Tennis has languished somewhat lately but the completion of additional clay courts may do something to revive interest in it. For the last three years track meets have been held with the Wesleyan, Bloomington Y.M.C.A., Bloomington High School, and Normal High School. Normal narrowly escaped winning the first two meets and did win the third. In short, athletic sports, considering the small number of men in school, are fairly prosperous. CHAPTER XI STUDENT LIFE IN THE TOWN BY ELMER WARREN GAVINS, CLASS OF 1892 The first class graduating from the Illinois State Normal University had its entire course in Bloomington while the school was in Major's Hall, on East Front street. The first graduating exercises, however, were held in the new building, not yet completed, at Normal, in the spring of 1860. When the school was opened in the new building in the fall, boarding accommodations were inadequate and many, in fact most of the students, boarded in Bloomington. The at- tendance at this time was 284, 161 in the normal department. For over a year the students living and boarding in Blooming- ton waded thru a great deal of mud in the low ground between Bloomington and Normal. One morning, early in the spring of 1862, some young wo- men due in their classrooms were found by the ever vigilant President Edwards in the act of drying their clothes and feet, made wet by wading thru the slush. Miss Sue Pike, impulsive like Peter of old, answered Dr. Edwards with, "Give us a day off and we will raise money enough to build a sidewalk be- tween Bloomington and Normal." "I'll do it," replied he. Whereupon Miss Pike (now Mrs. Sue Sanders, of Bloom- ington) and Miss Hattie Dunn, who graduated in 1864, en- tered upon a canvass, and raised in one day ninety-five dollars in money, besides contributions of lumber. The following Saturday the young men of the school, by a united effort, com- pleted the walk. The young women, too, were on hand fur- nishing the dinner and assisting, as Little Ernest helped his mother in the story of The Great Stone Face, much with their little hands but more with their loving hearts. A young man 166 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY asked Miss Pike why she got lumber that was green. "Be- cause," replied she, "in contracting it will shorten the distance between Bloomington and Normal." This sidewalk, altho only two boards in width, was a great public improvement. It extended from Walnut street in Bloomington to a point just north of the bridge on Main street, where it connected with a walk from Normal which had been built by the state. The street car line was not chartered un- til 1867. In the earliest years of the school in Normal there were no clubs; students boarded in private families. Most of the houses first built in Normal were large, and most of the fam- ilies took boarders, President Hovey himself having in his house a half dozen or more. At the beginning of Dr. Edwards' administration in 1862, there were perhaps not more than fifteen or twenty houses in Normal. Some of the largest, as nearly as can be ascertained, were owned by the following persons : Pres. Charles E. Hovey lived on Mulberry street in the house now occupied by Captain Augustine. Dr. E. C. Hewett lived on Ash street where Mrs. Hewett now lives. Prof. Ira Moore lived the first door west of Dr. Hewett's in a house which burned about 1880. Hanley Stewart, a retired farmer, lived two doors east of Dr. Hew- ett's in the house now owned by T. A. Brown. Wm. A. Pennell lived in a large house on Mulberry street, one-half block east of the I.C.R.R. The house burned in 1897, the property of Mrs. C. R. Park. Hon. Jesse Fell lived in a large house on the hill in Fell Park, now opposite the home of Mrs. Colton, but then one block east, where Levi Dillon lives. Dr. Richard Edwards built on Broadway the house now owned and occupied by A. L. Broyhill. Mr. Pierce lived on the corner of Ash street and Fell avenue, where C. W. Cooper now lives. William Partridge lived in the large brick house on Hovey avenue, in the southwest part of Normal, now .occupied by the Harriet Beecher Stowe Institute. To provide more adequate accommodations for students, the faculty early in Dr. Edwards' administration, approved a project for erecting a University boarding house. Dr. Ed- wards was to go before the legislature and ask for the money. But the people of Normal protested so strongly that the plan was given up. Many of those objecting made their living by boarding students, and they had taken a great deal of pains to make the students comfortable. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 167 From that time on, the town grew rapidly. So many new houses had been built near the railway station that General Hovey, returning from the war in 1864, did not recognize the place. He got off when the train stopped but boarded it again and the conductor had difficulty in convincing him that he had arrived at Normal. Up to 1867 there were no churches in Normal and no re- ligious services except in the Normal Hall on Sunday after- noons. Ministers from Bloomington took turns at preaching in the University, and the students furnished most of the mu- sic. Within the next six years four churches were built. Many students put in their church letters and participated in the singing, the Sunday school, and the young peoples' meetings. They have been a very considerable help in the Sunday school of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home, erected in 1869. As stated above, boarding was in private families at first. Only one club existed in the sixties and not many in the seven- ties but in the eighties they became quite popular, as they have been since. It is probably true that during the last thirty years the majority of students have boarded in clubs. Notwithstand- ing the insinuations often heard against club board, a majority, and among them some of the best students, have preferred it, not alone because cheaper, but on account of the larger social opportunities. Prices for board and rooms in Normal have al- ways been reasonable and much of the time remarkably low. The Wells Club in the early nineties got the rate as low as $1.87 per week. A good class of students constituted this club. Other clubs at the time were running at about $2.10. The board was considered fairly good; at least, there were very few withdrawals on account of scanty victuals. The price of club board since then has gradually appreciated with the in- crease of prices generally, until now it is from $2.50 to $2.75 per week. The number of students in each club has varied from ten to fifty, the average being perhaps twenty. A notable exception was the Allen Club during the summers of 1905 and 1906, when it numbered almost or quite one hundred. Aside from the interest of Normal students in getting rooms and board at moderate prices, and the share that some of them have taken in church work, they have shown but little concern about the affairs of the town. Indeed, they have sel- dom so much as overturned a sidewalk on Hallowe'en, or par- ticipated in a town election. One exception should be noted. 168 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY On the morning of the school election in March, 1906, the issue being on the union of the public schools with the training school of the University, the "Normal Notes" in The Panta- graph contained the following menace : "Students attempting to vote will be prosecuted." Signed, "A. Lind- blad." At the close of general exercises a mass meeting was called and students old enough to vote, men and women, eighty in all, decided to assert their rights as citizens. Their votes were challenged and sworn in. It is needless to add that A. Lind- blad, whose candidate was beaten, did not waste any of his money prosecuting students for doing what they had a per- fectly legal right to do. The day was an exciting one, not likely to be forgotten by voters from the student body. [Additional facts regarding student life will be found in Chapter XIV, and in Part Two. Editor. ] DAVID FELMLEY President, 1900 . CHAPTER XII BY PROFESSOR J. ROSE COLBY The connection of this school with journalism may be said to have begun before the school itself came into actual exist- ence. The conference of the friends of free schools, held in Bloomington in December, 1853, and resulting in the organi- zation of the State Teachers' Institute, afterwards known as State Teachers' Association, declared itself in favor of the es- tablishment of a state normal school, and, if possible, of an organ thru which the friends of free schools could find expres- sion. As it happened, the organ desired was secured first and became strongly influential in the establishment of the school. The first number of this organ was issued in February, 1855, from the press of Merriam & Norris, at Bloomington, under the name of The Illinois Teacher. For eighteen years thereafter it maintained its identity under this name in spite of changes of publishers and extraordinary vicissitudes in the editorship. Twelve editors marked its checkered career in the first year of its existence, most of them prominent in the movement for free common schools. Then in succession came Charles E. Hovey, 1856-57; Dr. Bateman, 1858; Charles A Dupee and Edwin C. Hewett, 1859; Dr. Willard, 1 860-6 T ; Alexander M. Gow, 1862-63; S. A. Briggs, 1864; Dr. Rich- ard Edwards, 1865-66; Wm. M. Baker, 1867-69; S. H. White, 1870-71 ; E. W. Coy, i872-Jan. 1873. From the first The Illinois Teacher fought strenuously for a normal school. Its paid agent, traveling over the state, made it a main part of his business to beget an interest in the movement among the teachers he met. He even called to- gether meetings of teachers in various parts of the state and 170 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY secured from them resolutions favoring the establishment of a normal school. Articles in the columns of the journal urged the same end. It cannot be doubted that to the sentiment thus created among teachers is largely due the passage of the act establishing this school. The names of the editors cited above indicate a connection of another kind between the school and the paper. Presidents and professors of the school are among them, while a list of assistant editors would add to these last the names of Stetson and Pillsbury. It is interesting to note also a kinship in ideas between the views expressed in its pages and some that are current with us today. In February, 1856, for instance, appeared an article that might almost have been written today, since it makes vigorous appeal not only for graded schools, long since attained, but for something very like what we now call consolidated schools, with free tuition, free text-books, and a library. Other articles advocate the introduction of music into the common schools and uniform text-books thruout the state. For this last idea, uniformity, we should perhaps hardly be ready to stand. The last number of The Illinois Teacher appeared in Janu- ary, 1873, with E. W. Coy as editor. In February the paper was sold to Aaron Gove and E. C. Hewett and merged in The Illinois Schoolmaster under their editorship. The Illinois Schoolmaster was the direct descendant of a little paper "with an educational bias," The Normal Index, established in 1866 by E. D. Harris, of Normal. The Index was later sold to Mr. John Hull, alumnus of this school, then superintendent of schools in McLean County, re-named The Schoolmaster, and issued under the joint editorship of Mr. Hull and Professor Albert Stetson of this school. In May, 1870, it passed into the editorial hands of Professor Stetson and Mr. I. S. Baker, principal of the Skinner School, Chicago, was in July removed from Bloomington to Chicago and issued as The Chicago Schoolmaster. In May, 1871, this paper was bought by Mr. Gove and Mr. Hewett, Mr. Gove becoming the editor. And finally, as noted above, in February, 1873, these two gentle- men who bought The Illinois Teacher united it with The Chi- cago Schoolmaster, and published the united journals at Nor- mal as The Illinois Schoolmaster. In 1874, when Mr. Gove went to Denver as superintend- ent of schools there, Mr. John W. Cook succeeded to his place as joint editor and proprietor with Mr. E. C. Hewett. In 1876 ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 171 Mr. Cook became sole proprietor and editor, and in December of that year issued the last number. The Illinois Schoolmaster was then together with a number of other educational month- lies in several of the northwest states, sold to S. R. Winchell & Co., who undertook, at Chicago, the somewhat hazardous enterprise, for that day, of publishing The Educational Weekly. This paper had an unusually strong list of editorial contribu- tors, including Mr. Cook himself and Prof. Edward Ol- ney, of the University of Michigan, but it failed to maintain itself, and the family of papers beginning with The Illinois Teacher in 1854 became extinct. The school at Normal had long found expression for its favorite ideas thru the papers whose career has thus been out- lined, and evidently missed this familiar means of making its influence felt. In 1881 two of the faculty provided a new or- gan for the propagation of the ideals of the school. In May of that year, in Normal, "E. J. James, Ph.D., and Charles De- Garmo, editors and proprietors," issued number one, volume one of The Illinois School Journal, a monthly magazine for teachers and schools. This journal was itself a continuation of The Educational News-Gleaner, a paper worth noting as an illustration of the way history repeats itself. Away back in the seventies, it seems, an educational speculator undertook an enterprize which very recently we have seen repeated in a different field but with like fate the issuing of the same paper simultaneously in many states. The News-Gleaner was the Illinois edition of this paper. Its fate was not, indeed, total extinction but con- tinuance under changed name and character as before noted. It is worth noting that the salutatory of the new School Journal indicated that Mr. James and Mr. DeGarmo were anxious to free their minds as to certain "definite and firm con- victions on the various subjects which [they] meant to dis- cuss," and were more anxious to find free expression than to secure assent to their views a state of affairs most promising for an independent vigorous paper. The later careers of Dr. James and Prof. DeGarmo are in no small measure the out- come of the spirit expressed in this salutatory. Alumni of the school who recall their experience with grad- uating themes may be interested in the number for June, 1881. The present compiler had been running thru an article, headed "Gems of Thought," with a dazed feeling of previous acquaint- ance with the "gems" before observing the sub-title, "Taken 172 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY from the Graduating Themes at the I.S.N.U., May 26, 1881." Yet said compiler's first experince with I.S.N.U. graduating themes began in 1892. Here is one "gem" that may cause some perplexity in the reader at this late day : "Woman needs to be educated if for nothing more than to elevate the standard of manhood, and when people at large realize this fact we shall have no more girls with lofty aspirations and pure motives" ! It is only fair to say that most of the citations were clearer- headed than this one, and that a close acquaintance with themes leads to the suspicion that this quotation itself has accidentally lost a phrase running something like this, "but without the trained minds and practical judgment to make these effective." When Professor DeGarmo went to Germany, in 1883, Mr. John W. Cook, then professor of mathematics here, bought the paper and succeeded to the editorship. Possibly the most original feature of the Illinois School Journal under his man- agement was Mr. William Hawley Smith's "The Evolution of Dodd." In May, 1884, Mr. R. R. Reeder joined Mr. Cook in the ownership and management of the paper. This arrange- ment continued till November, 1886, when the journal was bought by Mr. George P. Brown, who published it for three years under the old name, then as The Public School Journal, and more recently as School and Home Education. The Illinois School Journal was the last editorial venture, as far as discovered, undertaken by members of the faculty of this school. Possibly the explanation of this is to be found in Mr. Cook's own words with reference to the Journal itself : "After a year of oppressive labor I was joined by Mr. R. R. Reeder in the management of the Journal. Little is to be said of our success. Financially it was unequivocal. Educationally I regard it as a failure. It was the work of hours that should have been devoted to rest." Probably others would dissent from Mr. Cook's unfavorable self-judgment, but all must rec- ognize the force of the last statement. This abandonment of active editorial labors does not, how- ever, indicate that the faculty of the school have ceased to be connected with journalism. Members of the faculty have been active and untiring contributors to other journals as well as to those named. Notably within the last ten years they have conducted various departments in The School News, published by Mr. Parker, in Taylorville, and have contributed lavishly to its pages. The names of Pres. John W. Cook, Pres. David Felmley, Mrs. Lida B. McMurry, Prof. Elizabeth Mavity (now RUDOLPH R. REEDER 1883-1893. BUEL PRESTON COLTON 1888-1906. HERBERT J.

Gavins, Mr. Charles Whitten, Prof. D. C. Ridgley and Librarian Ange V. Milner are among those most familiar to its readers. Among the alumni of the school there has naturally been active interest in educational journalism and other educational literature. The Western Teacher, published by S. Y. Gillan, an alumnus of the year 1879 is well known. When it is re- membered that among the alumni of the school are Pres. John W. Cook, Pres. Edmund J. James, Prof. Henry McCormick, Dr. Charles McMurry, Dr. Frank McMurry, Prof. John A. H. Keith, Prof. John Hall, Commissioner of Education Elmer E. Brown, Mrs. Agnes Cook Gale, Augusta Eleanor Root, Mrs. Mary Hall Husted, Mr. J. J. Shepard, Prof. Edward L. Man- ley, Prof. Frank Thorp, Prof. T. J. Burrill, Prof. A. B. Wolfe, Prof. John H. Gray, Mr. C. C. Wilson, Mr. F. D. Barber, George P. Burns, Prof. John Adams Scott, Prof. Walter Dill Scott, Prof. Wm. J. Sutherland, and Prof. Andrew O. Nor- ton, and that its faculty has included besides those already named Pres. C. C. VanLiew, Prof. Charlton T. Lewis, Prof. Thomas Metcalf, Chauncey M. Cady, Mrs. Haney, Prof. Stephen A. Forbes, Professor Manchester, E. W. Coy, Prof. M. J. Holmes, and Prof. B. P. Colton, it will be seen how wide has been the range of its literary activity either through journalism or through books, and how far reaching its influ- ence.* The undergraduates of the school have started and main- tained two noteworthy publications. Of these probably the more important is The Vidette, the regular school paper. This enterprise started when Mr. C. C. Wilson and Mr. J. J. Shep- pard were leading men in the school, and was largely due to them. The paper was originally a monthly. The first number, issued in February, 1888, bore the name of M. Kate Bigham as editor-in-chief with Hanan McCarrel as business manager. Miss Bigham served but the one month and was succeeded by Mr. Washington Wilson. The earlier months and even years saw frequent changes in the editorial staff, due partly, it seems, to the gradual recognition of the need of various distinct de- partments if the life of the school were to be properly repre- sented, and partly to the fact that originally new volumes be- gan with the February number and the editorial elections were therefore held in the mid-year. As the editors were usually *Miss Colby's name belongs in this list also. Editor. 174 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY seniors, or, if not, frequently did not return in the fall, Sep- tember not infrequently saw every editorial chair vacant and special elections necessary. This difficulty was finally ob- viated by beginning the new volume with the September num- ber and making the editorial year coincident with the school year. This change was made in 1895. Among the editorial departments added from time to time have been Societies, Associations, Alumni, Undergraduates, Model School, Academic, Exchange, Locals, Woman's World, Assistant Editor, Official News, and Athletics, while the num- ber on the editorial staff, aside from the board of control, has mounted sometimes to twenty. Among the prominent names connected with The Vidette in one editorial capacity or another have been C. C. Wilson, J. J. Sheppard, R. R. Reeder, Agnes Cook, Grace A. Sealey, F. D. Barber, W. S. Wallace, Frederick G. Mutterer, J. A. Strong, Jessie J. Bullock, Jesse Black, C. M. Echols, Helen Taylor, Bertha Denning, A. B. Wolfe, Oliver Dickerson, Wil- liam A. Otto, Geo. W. Wright, Jessie J. Simmons, Jas. A. Fair- child, A. H. Melville, Ruth David, Perry Hiles, Abe Newton, Carl Waldron, Geo. B. Kendall, Ira Wetzel, Bertha Olsen, Ida Church, Edna Coith, L. O. Gulp, Fred Telford, Otto E. Rein- hart. Next year is to see Miss Essie Chamberlain editor-in- chief, with Mr. Ira W. Dingledine business manager. The volume for 1906-07 saw The Vidette changed to a weekly. The Vidette has thruout reflected more or less closely the life of the school. Naturally, therefore, with changes in that life The Vidette has changed. The literary and pedagogical significance of the paper loomed larger in the minds of the earlier editors than of the later. Evidently also the two great literary societies were more vital features of the school life than at present. Their proceedings were at all events reported with more fullness and seem to have been uniformly of a more serious character. On the other hand, various interests now extremely important in the school seem scarcely to have ex- isted in the earlier years. Chief of these are music and athlet- ics. It is pleasing to see how firm a foothold music has achieved, how it has added at every point to the pleasure and profit of the life here. Contests have increased in number or rather, except for the Inter-Society contest, changed in char- acter. The earlier volumes of The Vidette reported Inter- Class contests and Ciceronian-Sapphonian contests where now we have the Oratorical and Declamatory contests, the Inter- ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 175 Normal and Inter-State Oratorical contests, and the Oshkosh Debate. Social life has gained more recognition of late in The Vidette and in this probably The Vidette merely reflects a change in the school. The so-called "Grind" is almost the only form of social entertainment named in the earlier years. Gradually we find class banquets, Ciceronian receptions, Sap- phonian receptions, Debating Club receptions, Faculty recep- tions to various sections, receptions and various forms of social entertainments by individual members of the faculty and school, and President's receptions, social and otherwise, re- ported. The gymnasium, too, has multiplied forms of social amusement, partly of a purely social sort, partly at once social and instructive. Of late athletic matters have gained more importance in the school. Special numbers of The Vidette have had a marked inter- est. The Inter-Society contests have usually had a number to themselves. For a previously uninformed reader it would oc- casionally be a little hard, however, to tell from The Vidette which side was victor. In several instances it has taken a close search to find the winners in the several members of the con- test. This curious lapse in clearness is apparently due to the editor's and contributor's taking it for granted that their read- ers know the fact beforehand. Other sorts of special numbers have been taken up with accounts of the Christian Associa- tions, Commencements, and Summer Schools. A number of peculiar but mournful interest contained an account of the havoc wrought in campus and streets by the storm of June 10, 1902. The class of 1892 in their senior year, seeking a fit memo- rial, established The Index, which has since been issued as a senior annual. This has had the usual character of class an- nuals. It has given statistics of various sorts concerning the various student enterprises, serio-comic, mostly comic, accounts of classes and class affairs, jokes on the faculty and on indi- vidual students, revelations of secrets hitherto know only to the favored few, or originating, for purposes of publication, in the brains of the writers. It has been the outlet for repressed spirits, the opportunity for sheer fun, and very seldom the voice of resentment. It has contained articles of serious worth also, in which the progress of the school has been noted, and the lives of its various presidents have been recorded. And sometimes it has had to record sorrows, which, occurring in the life of the school, are at once public and private. 176 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY The volumes have been variously dedicated, the first one "To the World's Fair Seniors;" later numbers "To the President, ex-Presidents, and Faculty of the Illinois State Normal Uni- versity ; to the alumni and former students To all who shall find in these pages cause for pleasure, exultation, gratifi- cation or " Evidently the editors of that number, 1893, meant not to be partial ;"To all ever connected with the school as teachers or students; "To the Memory of Our Beloved Professor Emeritus Thomas A. Metcalf ;" "To the Hon. John P. Altgeld, Governor of Illinois, A Friend of Education ;" "To the Fortieth Anniversary of the I.S.N.U. ;" "To Our Boys Who Have Gone to War in Behalf of the Cuban Republic;" "To President John W. Cook ;" "To President Arnold Tomp- kins ;" "To David Felmley, A.B., Scholar, Teacher, Friend ;" "To Our Vice-President, Henry McCormick, A.M., Ph.D., Our Friend and Teacher ;" "To nymphs and fairies that haunt the halls and cherubs, too, of the practice school ;" "To Henry McCormick, Our Honored Vice-President," and "To Geo. H. Howe." The current number of The Index, not out at this writing, it is understood will be of a somewhat different character, with more serious artistic and literary features. CHAPTER XIII THE CELEBRATIONS OF THE SCHOOL BY PROFESSOR MANFRED J. HOLMES THE QUARTER-CENTENNIAL, CELEBRATION, AUGUST 24 AND 25, 1882 The first twenty-five years in the history of the Illinois State Normal University were the years of struggle for ex- istence and the struggle for recognition. At the close of this period the Normal School had proved the validity of its own existence as a necessary supplement and auxiliary to the public school system; and by its single-minded fidelity to its dis- tinctive function, it had also won highly-deserved public rec- ognition. Convincing evidence that these statements are historically correct is found in the fact that the people of Illi- nois had decided to invest in another school of the same kind ; in the fact that hundreds of the most devoted, capable, and enthusiastic teachers of the State of Illinois had got their training and inspiration at the Normal University ; and in the further fact that the demand for such teachers was steadily increasing. Such results had been possible only thru the faith, the sa- gacity, the heroic and able efforts of the founders and early teachers of the school. This quarter century almost exactly coincides with the first twenty-five years of a bona fide system of elementary education in Illinois, and it is easy to see that the Normal University addrest itself to the problem of mak- ing elementary education, as it was then conceived in Illinois yield a maxium of value to the state. This was not a period of educational "fads" or new movements in elementary edu- cation, but the "methods" of the Normal University set the standards in advance of the general practice and thus led while it served. 178 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY These results could not have been accomplished without much self-sacrifice. This was the heroic period of the school's history, and therefore the quarter-centennial anniversary was a fitting time to celebrate ; not by any means simply because it marked the end of the first quarter century, but because it closed a more or less distinctive epoch in the history of the school. The character and several features of this celebration are well shown in Mr. Cook's account on pages 227-229 of Cook and McHugh's History of the Illinois State Normal University. That account has a flavor that can hardly be created by one who was not a part of the event ; so it is here largely reproduced. THE CELEBRATION Arrangements having been perfected, the exercises began on the even- ing of August 24. After a cornet solo, by Charles Lufkin, General Hovey, now residing in Washington, D. C, delivered an address. The weather was very unfavorable, but the speaker was greeted by a large and enthusi- astic audience, many of whom had been identified with the early history of the school. On Friday morning the assembly room was crowded to its utmost capacity by a happy throng of old students, pioneer workers in educa- tional enterprises in the state, and prominent citizens of Normal and Bloomington. Nearly an hour was spent in having a good, old-fashioned sociable. The early classes were well represented. Harvey Button and Lizzie Carleton had journeyed up from Missouri. Logan Holt Roots had forgotten his banks and railroad schemes, and Mexican telephones, and was there, the happiest of the happy. Anna Grennell Hatfield paid the school her first visit since her graduation eighteen years ago. These and scores of others had returned to the familiar halls rendered sacred by hal- lowed associations, to greet old mates and renew their allegiance to their "cherishing mother." Charles E. Hovey was there, quiet and grave as of old, but with a twinkle of joy in his eyes that spoke more than volumes. Richard Edwards was the center of a boisterous group of his boys and girls, and he the youngest of them all, while E. C. Hewett, the shortest in stature but the longest in service, put to shame all of his previous at- tempts at wit and hilarity. Thomas Metcalf broke his vacation off at the short end to be on hand, and Albert Stetson, his co-worker for twenty years, was nowise behindhand in promoting the general fun. Hon. Newton Bateman, grown gray in the service, laid aside his cares for a day to greet old friends and join in the general rejoicing. Father Roots, Hon. Charles T. Strattan, Hon. Thomas F. Mitchell, Dr. E. R. Roe, Hon. Robert Brand, and many others whose names are familiar to Normal students, were in the audience. At ten o'clock, President Walker called the assembly to order and announced the following order of exercises : Piano solo, Mrs. Flora M. Hunter ; address, Dr. Edwards ; reading of Henry Norton's paper, by John W. Cook; piano duet, Mrs. Flora M. Hunter, Miss Minnie Potter; address, W. L. Pillsbury; address, E. C. Hewett. At three o'clock, the alumni business meeting was held in the Philadelphian Hall. The chief item of interest was a subscription to pro- vide a memorial for the lamented Howell, as suggested by Mr. Pillsbury in his address. In a few minutes a sufficient sum was collected to insure the success of the movement. A committee consisting of Silas Hays and ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 179 Captain Burnham from the alumni, and Dr. Hewett from the faculty, will have the whole matter in charge. The event of events was, of course, the banquet. Miss Flora Pennell, of the executive committee, had that part of the work under her supervision. The executive committee asked Miss Carrie Pennell, an under-graduate living in the village, to prepare the supper. She undertook the task and the successful manner in which it was accomplished was a matter of uni- versal comment. At six o'clock the procession filed into the room, the alumni taking their places at the tables by classes. The guests were seated along the south side, facing north, and on the outside of the side tables. John W. Cook, of the class of 1865, acted as master of ceremonies. When all were seated, Dr. Edwards asked the blessing, and the assembled com- pany, two hundred and twenty in number, entered upon the serious busi- ness of the evening the discussion of the numerous delicacies spread be- fore them. After this part of the business had been disposed of, the toasts were in order. Governor Cullom had indicated his intention to be present, but was taken sick in the train and was obliged to return to Springfield. Lieu- tenant-Governor Hamilton was on hand, however, and responded to the toast, "A true and tried friend of popular education." Dr. Bateman was "toasted" as "the man who first gave the schools of Illinois a national rep- utation," but the doctor had been obliged to return to Galesburg on the afternoon train. The sentiment, however, was greeted with loud cheers. "Our venerable friend, the president of the State Board of Education, for a full half century the light of Egypt," brought Father Roots to his feet for a characteristic speech of ten minutes. Judge Reeves responded to the toast, "The Bar the last resort of the school-master." The class toasts and speakers were as follows : "Our First Born the Class of '60," E. A. Gastman; "The Class of '61," J. H. Burnham; "The Class of '62," Logan H. Roots; "The Class of '65," O. F. McKim; "The Class of '66," Sarah E. Raymond ; "The Class of '68," Henry McCormick ; "The Class of '70," Joseph Carter. Hon. Jesse W. Fell and Hon. A. J. Merriman were expected to tell "How McLean County got the Normal School." Mr. Fell, however, was unexpectedly called to Iowa three days before the meeting. It was a serious disappointment to him and to the company, for his activ- ity in securing the location is generally understood. Judge Merriman was a member of the Board of County Commissioners in 1857, and with his associates, Hiram Buck and Milton Smith, made the county appropriation of $70,000. The judge also had the distinguished honor of laying the corner stone of the building. Speech-making, however, is not in his line, and so Dr. E. R. Roe told the story in his stead, and, at its conclusion responded to the toast: "Our Early Teachers." General Hovey was called upon to let us know "how the building was erected," but instead, spoke as follows : An intimation, more or less plainly stated, has several times been made, tending to show that the first presiding officer of this institution was substantially its founder, and that, at least, the buildng could not, or would not, have been built at the time it was without him. I am glad of an opportunity to speak of these matters, and I may claim, I suppose, without challenge, that I was part of them. Right or wrong, the chief place in the beginning fell to me, and, with it, came an opportunity of influencing the trend of affairs in the institution, and, to some extent, out of it. I had done what I could to bring about the legisla- tion which set the school in motion. Here, again, the accident of position* at the critical time enabled me to know and do what would otherwise have been impracticable. My advice as to plans for the proposed building was generally followed, and my services in and about its erection came to be *Hovey was president of the State Teachers' Association, and editor of its "organ" at the time. 180 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY in considerable demand before it was completed. But it would be a mis- take to say that the Normal University owes its establishment, or conduct afterwards, to any one man or set of men. It was the outgrowth of the ideas and wishes of a majority of the people of Illinois, formulated and uttered by a large number of persons, and by at least two influential state associations. Professor Turner and the Industrial League blazed the way, but they did not found the Normal University. The State Teachers' As- sociation followed and secured for it a hearing, but the association did not found it. Father Roots tells you that Simeon Wright was the man who did the business, and I think myself his services were indispensable, but it would hardly be correct to say that he was the Atlas of the enterprise. The first superintendent of public instruction elected by the people, assisted in drafting the bill, but he did not enact it into law. His successor, the honored president of Knox College, stood guard over its interests at the gateway of danger for many years, and took care ne quid detrimenti Nor- malis Universitas capiat, but even he was not the sole Fidus Achates. Hon. S. W. Moulton, Hon. C. B. Denio, Dr. Calvin Goudy, and a majority of both Houses of the Legislature, voted for the Normal University Act, and Governor Bissell signed it, but they were not the founders of the in- stitution; and yet, without each and all of these, I do not see how it could have been established at the time it was, and as it was. Each was a link in the golden chain, but only a link. Nor do I see how it could have been located in McLean county without Jesse W. Fell; and yet Jesse Fell did not bring it here. A very modest and worthy citizen (Judge Merriman), who appears to be listening to me from a corner of the table to my right, and two other McLean county men (Messrs. Buck and Smith), were the heroes of that act. They took the responsibility and risk to themselves, politically, of involving the county in a debt of seventy thousand dollars to secure the location of the institution here. That act of theirs required a high degree of moral courage, and entitles them to a seat on the upper bench at the head of the table, along with Jesse Fell. But even these men must consent to a division of the honors. Back of them stood the people of Bloomington with their sub- scription paper. Without this paper, Jesse Fell and the County Court would have had "to throw up the sponge" and yield gracefully, no doubt, to Peoria. Nor did Asahel Gridley risk any money in loans for erecting the build- ing, though my friend, Colonel Roe, gives him credit for making advances. True, Colonel Gridley furnished some money for that purpose, but not a dollar came over the counter of his bank until he had been amply secured by the promissory notes of citizens. Such men as S. W. Moulton, Jesse and Kersey Fell, Charles and Richard Holder, Edwin C. Hewett, Joseph A. Sewell, Charles E. Hovey, and others whom I do not at this moment recall, signed the notes. The banker risked nothing, and lost nothing, but gained interest. The men who signed the notes took the risk. But the merchants of Bloomington stand on a different footing. They did take risk. They gave the contractor for erecting the building, Mr. Soper, credit, to a large amount in the aggregate, with no other security than my promise to see them paid whenever there was anything to pay with. They trusted the enterprise, and, to that extent, risked their advances, and I take liberty to invite them to a seat on a bench a little higher up than the banker's pew. I must not leave this subject without naming the committee of the Board under whose supervision this edifice was erected. They were Hon. S. W. Moulton, chairman; Hon. C. B. Denio, Dr. George P. Rex, Hon. N. W. Edwards, Hon. William H. Powell, Prof. Daniel Wilkins, and Charles E Hovey. Mr. Chairman, if you have been listening to me, I think you are be- ginning to see that a goodly number of people have been engaged, at one time or another, in one way or another, in founding this great school, and ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 181 in building its house. Nor did one man make its course of study, nor plan and limit its scope, nor give to the work so mapped out that impulse which has thus far swept over, or brushed aside, all adverse obstacles. True, there was at first, as there has been since and must continue to be, a head. Somebody must decide and direct, and the questions at the outset of any enterprise, which clamor for settlement, are often numerous, and generally important. But the first principal was not left to solve these problems unaided. In addition to C. M. Cady, Dr. E. R. Roe, and Rev. L. P. Clover, special instructors, and Charlton T. Lewis, Samuel Willard, Chauncey Nye, and Miss B. M. Cowles, employed from time to time, any or all of whom he could call upon for information and counsel, I say, in addition to these, the first principal had the good fortune to have asso- ciated with him, as co-laborers, Ira Moore, Leander H. Potter, Edwin C. Hewett, and Joseph A. Sewell. A principal surrounded by such men need not set up for himself, or put on airs, or assume that he is the only considerable person on the premises. They were the peers of anybody in the profession. The principal had the benefit of their knowledge and ex- perience in determining the course to be pursued and in formulating work to be done. These men made their mark on the school. I should not wonder if it could be pointed out even now. But they did not make the school what it is now. Presidents Bass and Edwards, and their associates, came later, it is true, but they served longer, and with no doubtful success. The proofs are all around me tonight. Their good deeds have been re- corded, and were read to you this morning. I do not see how anybody can wipe out that record, and it is one on which they can afford to stand. But even these men and women must be content with having done a part. They did not do everything. After them came President Hewett and his associates, who are moving forward, bearing aloft the old banner, inscribed with mottoes indicating reliance upon plain, unpretentious, common-school work. I believe they are conducting this great school with judgment and efficiency. I know Edwin Hewett ranks high among the normal school teachers of America. But neither Hoyey, nor Bass, nor Edwards, nor Hewett, nor all of them and their associates combined, have made this in- stitution what it has grown to be. I will throw in the Board of Education, Father Roots, and all, and still I say there is an omission. The students must be added. They have carried the Normal University to a thousand school rooms all over the State, and have taught its classes there. I look upon them as non-resident professors. They have played no inconsiderable part in the work of the institution. I have not attempted to keep track of them, and what I happen to know has come to me incidentally. But right before me is a well-known man who has been in charge of Decatur's public schools for twenty years ; this morning a paper was read from a professor in California's Normal School; a moment ago a soldier, as well as teacher, addressed you; "shake," comes over the wires from the head school man in Denver; in front of me sits a citizen who, in addition to teaching, has twice represented his district in Congress ; to my left sits a lady who for some years has been superintendent of public schools in Bloomington. A few years ago, at the reunion of the society of the Army of the Tennessee, in Chicago, a note was handed in to me, signed by a familiar name. I went out, and there met a remarkable woman in looks and attainments, a physician and professor of physiology in the Woman's College. I must not detain you by further recitals. All these, and a thousand more, are your boys and girls. They are the links in the silver chain that binds this school to the common schools of the State. But I must stop. I beg pardon for detaining you so long. Dr. Edwards told "How the building was filled," and Dr. Hewett "How it is kept full." Hon. Thomas F. Mitchell, the staunch friend of the school in the Legislature, told "Where we get our munitions of war." He was followed by Hon. Charles T. Strattan, the member of the house 182 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY from Mt. Vernon. "The Normal University abroad," was responded to by E. J. James, Ph.D. At the close of the exercises, General Hovey arose and stated that it had been his pleasure to attend a good many banquets at one time and an- other, but that he had never seen one in which the arrangements were more complete nor in better taste. This opinion was evidently the sentiment of all present, as it was received with loud applause. At eleven o'clock, after five hours of solid enjoyment, the formal part of the exercises closed, and the quarter-centennial celebration passed into history. Many lingered an hour longer saying good-byes. All agreed that the celebration was an unqualified success. The early .trains on Saturday bore away most of the visitors, and the institution settled down again to the routine duties that have made it what it is. There was a general desire expressed that a similar meeting should be held at least as often as once in three or four years, and there is no doubt that at least as early as the thirtieth anniversary there will be a gathering that will surpass the meeting of 1882. THE FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION, JUNE 22 AND 23, 1897 Under date of May 20, 1897, the first general notice was issued regarding the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Illinois State Normal University. It does not appear that any special occasion called forth this celebra- tion. As one looks back upon the event, however, a special value does appear. It proved to be the last time that all the presidents of the school could be together to behold the rich results of their labors, and justly participate in the joy and gratitude of so marked a triumph of a great popular cause. Later celebrations will surely not fail to reveal these noble per- sonalities enshrined in the grateful memory of the people of Illinois, nor to give them places of honor. The best history is that in which the actors themselves speak. As far as possible, therefore, this account of the forti- eth anniversary celebration will be given in the words of its promoters and the speakers chosen to represent the various ideas and interests made prominent on that occasion. The first exercises of the celebration were held in Normal Hall, Tuesday evening, June 22. It was a reminiscent pro- gram and produced two distinct effects : It was highly valued and enjoyed by those present who represented by-gone days in the life of the Normal University, and it proved instructive to the present generation of students and transmitted to them the traditional spirit and ideas that have marked the character of this school. Enoch A. Gastman, of the class of 1860, spoke on "The Early Teachers of the Normal School." His talk was wholly ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 183 from personal experience and consisted largely of interesting anecdotes characteristic of the different early teachers. Those receiving most prominent mention were the first president, General Hovey, Ira Moore, John Hull, Joseph Howell, and Charlton Lewis. The reports of this talk are meager and un- satisfactory. Lewis was the young Yale graduate who was a superb scholar and already a learned man. He stayed but one term, much to the regret of the girls of the school. General Hovey was "the hero that laid the foundations and built so well." He had sound business principles and a courage to venture. Mr. Gastman told how Hovey "squelched" the "writ- ing rebellion," and how he once delivered a vigorous "philip- pic" against a member of the Board of Education for criticising the institution. In speaking of Ira Moore, who was one of the most impressive teachers of the first years of the school, Mr. Gastman said : "Among the early teachers of the school no man ranks higher than Ira Moore. I desire to say that if I have had any success in life, more of it is due to the influ- ence of this teacher than to any other man in the world except my father. He possessed in a remarkable degree the power to select the essential points in a subject and put his pupils in possession of them. His judgment was clear and accurate and it was impossible for careless work or thinking to escape him." Capt. J. H. Burnham of the class of 1861, spoke on "The Early Students of the Normal School." He quoted from "Norton's letter" see (Chapter xiv) to show what a normal student looked like and was like in the early day. He gave con- siderable attention to the students that went to war. "The old war flag of the Normal boys who went to the front was placed upon the speaker's stand, and three stands of old colors stood against the back wall of the stage. These were tenderly handled They were such touching reminders of the past that all felt the silent swell of heart and closing throat as the sight of the flags brought back to memory or framed in the imagination some of those terrible days and what they brought years ago." (Vidette, vol. 9, No. 10.) "We who entered the Normal in early times had to have considerable faith in the future. We did not realize as you can what brilliant educational careers are possible for persons of ability and proper qualification. There were but few posi- tions in prospect that paid over eight hundred dollars a year." In concluding Mr. Burnham said: "Nearly twelve hun- dred graduates, improved by discipline and strong moral ideals, have gone out from this school into the service of the state of 184 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY Illinois. Large numbers have proved themselves teachers of a high grade of culture, and leaders of educational thought of a superior order. They have become centers from which have been poured streams of educational influence forcing their way against the mass of ignorance that still surrounds us. They have continued their professional development and their final results will be in harmony with the highest ideals of the greatest educators of the world." "The Administration of Dr. Edwards" was the topic of Dr. Charles DeGarmo of the class of 1873. The speaker's historical survey of this period of the school's history, espe- cially his eulogy of Ex-President Edwards, was worthy of preservation. He revealed the conditions under which the school labored in those days and the kind of work and men and women which were needed to prove the necessity and value of a school for the training of teachers. Speaking of Prof. Thomas Metcalf, Dr. DeGarmo said: "His life and service lasting thru many administrations was a golden thread bind- ing them all together. His face hangs in the hallway; and every man or woman that looks into that pure countenance cannot but be inspired to do better things." In closing Dr. DeGarmo paid a personal tribute to his old teacher, Dr. Edwards : "But the principal picture of all I have hardly mentioned yet. It is Dr. Edwards. He taught me many things, but after all what he taught me was not what did me the most good. To look into his face and receive inspira- tion therefrom, the longing to do right, to pursue one's duty, was a lesson even more profitable. I owe to him more than to any other living man the inspiration to higher effort." "The Administration of Dr. Hewett," by Miss Olive Satt- ley, was mainly a eulogy of a master by a devoted and appreci- ative disciple. "Were I asked to characterize Dr. Hewett in one word that word would be 'genuineness.' His love of truth, his hatred of sham and deception were the leading and lasting impressions received by those who knew him best His oft-repeated, 'Speak nothing but the truth of the dead or the living' is known to all. "As a teacher he was without a superior. Indeed, I never had more than one other who was his equal in clearness of thought and conciseness of expression. As president he per- petuated and emphasized the best traditions he had received from his predecessors, while his thoroness and careful work in every direction increased the hold of the institution upon the community at large In his relations with the other mem- ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 185 bers of the faculty Dr. Hewett had the admirable quality of allowing them the freest and fullest scope in their work." In addressing the members of the faculty under whose teaching she graduated, Miss Sattley said: "Well as we re- member the facts you taught us in the classroom, yet much more vivid is our recollection of those things you taught us when you were not teaching. Not teaching? Yes. There was no professor of fatherly counsel, motherly solicitude, of kindness, of gentleness, of high ideals and noble purposes; yet you taught them more than anything else." Mr. Arthur Bassett and the old Wrightonian quartet fur- nished some highly acceptable musical numbers for the evening program. The members of this quartet were S. F. Parsons, Joseph G. Brown, Arthur O. Norton, and James A. Hodge. The anniversary session was opened at 9:35 a. m. Wednesday, June 23, Prof. Henry McCormick presiding. In order to keep the school work going on while the celebration exercises were in progress, a huge tent had been pitched on the lawn just south of the main building. Here the morning ses- sion was held. Owing to the ominous appearance of the sky, and the muttering of thunder during the early morning the attendance was not as large as was expected, but a good audi- ence gathered and the meeting proved to be both valuable and enthusiastic. Musical numbers were given between the ad- dresses. The speakers were Richard Edwards, Edwin C. Hewett, S. W. Moulton, Charles E. Hovey, Mrs. Sarah Ray- mond Fitzwilliams, and Thomas J. Burrill. Dr. Edwards spoke first on the subject of "Horace Mann and the Normal School Idea." He said that Horace Mann belonged to the true aristocracy of the race. The great work of his life he accomplished in the Massachusetts State Board of Education. The public schools were of low grade. Mr. Mann resolved something should be done for those who could not attend private schools, that the free schools should be raised, by raising the qualifications of the teachers. The work must be done by the state- He seemed to win few battles but finally at the completion of the first normal school his address was a song of triumph. In our day, the normal school craft is an ocean steamer, constructed and managed scientifically, and it sails with triumphant success. But in Mann's day it was a crude boat and her course was against the current. I think it may be said that Horace Mann possessed all three of the forms of power enthusiasm, sagacity, and organization. He was a belated Puritan. 186 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY In closing Dr. Edwards paid a glowing tribute to Hon. S. W. Moulton, who was present. Dr. E. C. Hewett spoke next on "Nicholas Tillinghast and the Bridgewater Normal School." He said that Tillinghast was a New Englander, educated at West Point. He served on the frontier. In 1840 he was in a high school in Boston, and from there was called to Bridgewater as the first head of the normal school. In person slight, he had a soldier's dignity. He was stern, reserved, not fluent in speech. In character every inch a man, honest, truthful, firm as a rock in the right. The experiment of founding a normal school was first tried in Massachusetts. The first was in 1839; tne Bridgewater was the third. For several years in inconvenient quarters, the course was meager and scholars more so. In 1846 the school was housed in a $6000 wooden structure the first normal school building on the continent. Five years later I became a pupil. The founder of Bridgewater Normal was called "Father" Tillinghast. What was his power? To my mind it was due more to the man that what he said or did. He was always friendly no effusion, gush or honey; but we felt his friendship. He was truthful, open, honest in all his actions. One would as soon suspect Gabriel of a trick as Father Tilling- hast. He was conscientious in everything, self-sacrificing, exact in his works and words. Several stories were told to il- lustrate his power of cutting speech. He was exacting as he was exact. He had the good sense to help by self-help. The body of Nicholas Tillinghast has rested for forty years on the slope where we laid him. Many of you never heard his name. Why should I speak his name? Because Ira Moore, Richard Edwards, Thomas Metcalf, Albert Stetson, and your speaker, were his pupils. Because more than one hundred years of in- struction have been put into this institution by the pupils of Nicholas Tillinghast. His name will live forever in the Illi- nois State Normal University. There was a great ovation of applause when President Cook introduced Charles E. Hovey, the first president of the Normal University. General Hovey was in very feeble health and spoke with trembling voice, but was listened to with in- tense interest. He said one of the early questions was why he had adopted the name of "university," instead of the simple name of normal school. He recalled the astonishment the an- nouncement had created as made by him in a New Jersey con- vention. The first institution in the history of man that bore the name of university was at Salerno, Italy, a thousand years ago. It was a medical school. The next was a professional ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 187 school at Bologna, for lawyers. In the early days, therefore, the term university was applied to professional schools. Now we were getting up another school for another profession, so we called it a university. Why not? In fact it was a neces- sity. The legislature would not appropriate funds to a "school." Therefore it remained only to call it a college or a university. Of these two terms all reason pointed to "uni- versity" as the better term and it was chosen. There was also a practical reason there was a great faction in the state de- termined to have an industrial university; they wanted the Seminary Fund, and of course we wanted it too. So we com- promised with them and got the name. General Hovey then pictured the future of the institution, saying that when its age had grown to that of other notable institutions we shall see wonders here. He spoke of the work of the first board, their discretion and foresight in keeping out of the lines of sectarian division. At the close General Hovey received another ovation. Extracts from Judge Moulton's address "An old soldier often repeats his battles, his achievements, and victories. I feel the greatest love and respect for those who helped me and you forty years ago. This day recalls precious memories. Of the original fourteen members of the board but three remain today General Hovey, John R. Eden, and the speaker. Prior to 1854 the common schools were unsatisfactory in every way. The school funds did the schools no good subscriptions sup- ported the teachers. The constitution of 1848 provided a 2-mill school tax. We were poor in those days and there was little to tax. In 1854 I had the honor of being the chairman of education in the Illinois House, and I had the pleasure to introduce a free school bill, which was the foundation for all the system of free schools in Illinois. This bill recognized the right of every community to afford means of education to all children. The bill became a law February 15 ,1855. There was great prejudice against this law The great lack of the schools in that day was trained teachers. The machinery was all in shape except the teachers. That part could be made possible only by the establishment of a normal school. An act for the founding such a school was past February 18, 1857. I knew these men (the members of the first board of educa- tion) and they were the choice men of Illinois. C. B. Denio was a brick-layer, but he stood up for the right always. So with the others all great men. [Judge Moulton then read a section of the act laying down the purposes of the university.] The opposition to such a university was great. The great 188 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY struggle was as to whether the colored people should receive any benefits of the school law and the university act. In the school act of 1854, the word 'white' was before 'children.' It remained in the normal act, and was only removed after the civil war. As to the location of the proposed normal university, Judge Moulton said: 'The bill provided for competition in the whole State. When the board met in Peoria to open the bids, there were four propositions, one each from Batavia, Washington, Peoria, and Bloomington. The pledge of Bloomington was the best, being $141,000. The site was then an open, naked prairie. Now it is the most beautiful spot in Illinois. The board held its first meeting March 26, 1857, and almost constantly afterwards. The legislature made an ap- propriation to build the university. It was completed by sub- scription, the total gifts being $200,000 " [The speaker then related the grievous difficulties of the work of construc- tion.] "At one time when the board was $10,000 in debt, the members went as individuals and borrowed the money to pay the bills." [Hovey, Denio, and Moulton signed the notes, and next day on summing up the property of the three, there was not over $1000 to pay the debt if sold under the hammer]. Moreover the State disowned the board at its darkest days; but when the institution had acquired $200,000 and wide- spread fame, then the state took us in. "The Board was fortunate in the selection of the faculty thruout its history The university has been exceptionally free from political and religious disturbances " Mr. Moulton paid glowing tributes to General Hovey and other 'fathers of the school.' In closing he said he would be pres- ent at the fiftieth anniversary and make a speech. Mrs. Sarah Raymond Fitzwilliam spoke on "The Women of the Normal School." She recited an original parody on Holmes' "Last Leaf," which was a neat bit of verse. She then continued in a charming style to discuss the Normal women. Women have a genius for teaching. The modern woman her active business, her education, her clubs is a different being from the mild-eyed creature of a century ago. We rejoice that emancipation is at hand. More and more the advance of society is adjusting the mind to the new order of things. Particularly as to woman's position, the change is wonderful. The women of the Normal, 16,000 have received instruction here, 1200 of whom graduated. What must be the influence of such a body? The women of this in- IWJNOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 189 stitution have much to be proud of. The state will gladly give its financial support to such an institution. The tone and character of the community is elevated by the women of the Normal, their influence is broader than the schoolroom. To individualize would be unjust, but proud are we of the names and fame of our women. Great changes have taken place in pedagogics since 1865, and the Normal is a leader in all these. Proud and grateful to thee, your daughters drink to the health of their alma mater. We'll drink to her past and future, too, With thanks for woman's place with you. Tho scattered ere the setting sun, Our home is here, our hearts are one. Dr. Burrill of the University of Illinois, was the last speaker. He told an interesting story of how he first came to Normal, which then contained no postoffice, no business houses. Letters were carried from Bloomington by Dennis Hall. He told of the early corps of instructors, and was full of interesting reminiscences. He recalled Professor Metcalf's first appearance. Hewett, Sewell, Edwards, Metcalf what a quartet ! No monuments are erected to them, but in their in- fluence upon the state, no names are more honored. Dr. Bur- rill recalled the characteristics of the student body of that time. The students of that time took only two meals a day. Text- books were provided by the school. There was no library un- til 1863, when $500 was appropriated for books. Dr. Burrill was first librarian. After his reminiscences Dr. Burrill paid a glowing tribute to the influence of the Normal University. The literary societies joined in the general celebration of the fortieth anniversary. The Philadelphia!! exercises were held June 22, at 3 130 o'clock in Normal Hall. The Wrightonians held their meeting in the big tent on Wednesday afternoon. The many reminiscences of contest, strategy, war, and love, and the revival of the "hard times" of primitive beginnings furnished one of the most entertaining features of the celebra- tion. Careful and thoro preparation had been made well ahead of time, and all plans were carried out with great success. No report was made of the Wrightonian meeting, but we can judge something of its character from that of the Phila- delphian. The Vidette of June, 1897, says of the Philadelphian reunion, "The most remarkable event of the term was the re- union held in the large hall, June 22. The hall was crowded and much enthusiasm was there awakened by thrilling bits of early history told by loyal" members. The five minutes al- lotted them was invariably too brief." 190 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY "After the meeting was called to order Mr. J. Dickey Templeton was introduced as master of ceremonies. He walked upon the stage holding a tallow candle which he al- lowed to shed light upon the scene in commemoration of the fact that at the first meeting of the society, held in the Major Block, Bloomington, October 9, 1857, a tallow candle was the only means of illumination." "At least twenty-five speakers were called on during the evening and the audience was kept in an uproar by Mr. Tem- pleton's inimitable humor. After a brief search three persons were found who belonged to the society in 1857 : E. A. Cast- man, Mrs. Christian, and Mrs. A. D. Guild "Twelve ex-presidents were discovered and marched to the platform " "A song written by Miss Esther Sprague and sung at the dedication exercises of the present hall, July 2, 1861, was sung to the tune of America." The celebration exercises culminated in the banquet on Wednesday evening. Plans had been brewing for the greatest social event known in the school's history. No limit was placed as to who or how many should be present except that the privilege of attending was for friends of the school. About 375 persons were seated. The program called for about twenty responses to toasts. Mr. L. A. Chase, "Our Mutual Friend," was toastmaster. The subjects and persons respond- ing were : "The University of Illinos" Pres. A. S.

The banquet had been announced for five o'clock, but the company was not seated until six. It was a feast of joy and good will, lasting over five hours, and a happy ending of the celebration of the fortieth anniversary. This celebration attracted much attention, and was no- ticed in the editorials of some of the leading newspapers. The Chicago Inter-Ocean, commenting on the annual meeting of the Chicago Club of I.S.N.U., said : "The former students and friends of the Illinois State Normal University propose to cele- brate on May 29 the fortieth anniversary of the founding of that institution. The celebration will consist of an afternoon and an evening session, with addresses, etc., appropriate to the occasion. "The Illinois State Normal University is the oldest public educational institution in Illinois. It has educated a very large proportion of the leading teachers of the public school system of the State, and has had a very wide educational influence up- on education thruout the Mississippi valley. It ranks among the best institutions of its class in any country, and is an in- stitution in which every citizen of Illinois should take pride and interest." The Daily Pantagraph under date of June 23, 1897, has the following: "The fortieth anniversary of the Illinois State Normal University now being celebrated is an event of the deepest importance to the thousands, far and near, who have come within its influence. The occasion has called together many of those who took part in the founding of the institution, among them Gen. Charles E. Hovey, its first president. To these honored pioneers in the work of normal training in the west the cause of popular education owes a debt of lasting gratitude. They broke the ground, and planted and tilled, as did the farmers of that early day, tho in a different field. Human destiny was the field they worked, and sacrifice, and zeal and love for humanity were the forces employed. What a harvest has come forth from the labors of these devoted, far-seeing men ! There is no numbering nor calculating the blessings their work has wrought out for the race. Into every county of our great State, and into every com- munity of every county, has the influence of the Normal School extended. No one can put a limitation upon the forces exerted by the teachers who for four decades have gone out year after year from the normal halls to do service in the cause of rational education. Their work has permeated the whole social structure The people acknowledge it. They have cheerfully endowed and will generously maintain a school that trains teachers in the work of instructing their children in all that tends to a more intelligent and useful manhood and womanhood. All pleasure and joy to the honored educators who have gathered to celebrate this fortieth anniversary of the Normal." CHAPTER XIV REMINISCENCES A Letter Twenty-five Years Old. DEAR OLD FRIENDS: To my home on the summits of these Santa Cruz hills, by the Pacific, has come an invitation to write a few words upon the days when we dwelt and worked together. I was not ex- actly a beginner with the Normal University. I entered in the autumn of 1858, and found myself decidedly a junior, com- pared with a group, grave and reverend, of the real pioneers. John Hull, Joseph Howell, Enoch Gastman, Hayes, Ridlon, Augusta Peterson, Sally Dunn, Fannie Washburn, Edward Philbrook, whose hair parted in the middle, these were in the front rank of years and honors. We who entered in those September days of 1858, felt small and insignificant beside them. We were daily convened in the upper story of Major's Hall. I suppose that these younger generations of Normalites are not aware that such a building ever existed. The walls of the old house were rickety, and iron girders, with huge S's at the ends, held in place the brick masonry. Our assembling room was the third story. In the second story were recitation rooms, rather dark, and ill-adapted to our needs. Grocery and hardware stores occupied the first floor. The building was heated by a coal stove in each room, and as Illinois coal is gaseous and explosive, the stove doors were frequently blown open, with loud sounds and clouds of yellow smoke. C. E. Hovey was principal in those days, but Ira Moore was the one most directly in charge. Dr. Willard, looking very pale and frail, soon began to open his wonderful budget of philological knowledge. Hewett came within a month after my arrival, I think. He was a small man with a big head, in those days. He had very demonstrative boot heels, and especially hated cats, and went to sleep in Baptist meetings. He used to give us prodigious lessons in history and geography. He couldn't ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 193 draw maps, but made us draw very nice ones. I remember his geography lessons, even unto this day. The names of the branches of the Amazon, the forms and heights of the Andean and Himalayan plateaus these are mine yet, and will be to all eternity. My history work has not staid with me so well. There was once a slight unpleasantness between my class and their teacher as to how General Greene got away from Corn- wallis. It was quite a double-and-twisted business anyhow, and we inwardly vowed that we wouldn't learn it. The teacher gave us hard words and low marks, but our obstinate stupidity won the day. I am still densely ignorant as to whether it was the Chickahominy or the Nile that rose and fell in such a miraculous fashion, for the discomfiture of the Brit- ish. Come to think of it, may be it wasn't Greene and Corn- wallis after all. It tires me to recall the matter. At any rate, somebody got away from some other fellow, and we wouldn't and didn't learn the particulars, and Professor Hewett con- sidered us, very justly, a pack of ninnies. We were called section "C" for awhile. There was a sec- tion B, including Burnham, Edward Waite, Fanny Grennel, Peleg R. Walker, and others ; a class which had entered some months before us, but they were soon incorporated with us. Gove, from Boston, John T. Curtis, Sophie Crist, C. J. Gill, Harvey Button, Moses Morgan these stand out very con- spicuously upon the tablet of memory as entering when I did. I had a peculiar psychological experience with Gove. It was a case of hate at first sight. He was very slim in those days, had a big nose, and used to laugh at people who made mis- takes. I regarded him for some time with a silent, unspeak- able hatred. Well, time mended all that. After these twenty- four years, I send love to Gove, whom I hated; to Button, whom I quarreled with; to Joseph Howell and Augusta Pet- erson, whom I respected and yet felt it my duty to regard with a certain dislike, because they were Philadelphians. From their heights of spirit-life may a benediction be wafted down, even to us, who struggled hard to make the name of Simeon Wright immortal ! There were two literary societies in those days. It is strange, but true, that the members used to quarrel. We had contest meetings, joint debates, and various occasions of con- flict. After our removal into the, "new building," we impov- erished ourselves and incurred heavy debts, in order to buy better furniture and more books than the people of the other society. On the door of the Wrightonian Hall was a motto, 194 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY painted in blue and gold, "Sapere Aude." It was the occasion, to the Philadelphians, of many irreverent and disrepectful puns. As a loyal Wrightonian, I trust that this motto has disappeared, and that the Brussels carpet, gay with yellow roses, which reduced us all to bankruptcy who were concerned in purchasing it, has been replaced by the bounty of a younger and wealthier generation. In 1858, Bloomington had a population of some 7000 peo- ple. In winter, its streets were a sea of mud. "Come over here," once shouted Professor Wilbur, the geologist, to Uncle Sim Wright, across the street. "I can't," was the answer; "between thee and me there is a great gulf fixt." Teams were daily mired down in the principal streets. There was a place called Pone Hollow, allusions to which were particularly in order, if anyone would be called facetious. The crossings there were particularly dreadful when the long rains drenched the prairies. "The gunpowder plot" was enacted in Major's Hall. Gove had organized a band of nocturnal serenaders, called the "Squallers." They used to go about with an awfully dis- cordant orchestra of willow whistles. To blow these beneath the lattice of a slumbering maiden, was to induce in her spasms of palpitating fear and agony. The Squallers were wont to meet in Mr. Hovey's office, not to rehearse, but to form their plans. One of the boys had observed this, and longed to know what it all meant. He took into his confidence one Burnham, who wickedly betrayed him to the Squallers. Their plans were duly laid. Hidden in a box in the room, the inquiring youth heard the particulars of a plot which caused his "knotty and combined locks to part, and each particular hair to stand on end" no less a scheme than the blowing up of the old building with gunpowder, in order to expedite the construction of the new one! The very box in which the spy was secreted was selected as the receptacle for this terrible explosive, and was turned over, rolling out upon the floor this inquiring youth. The tableau was unutterable; the muttered threats were dreadful. At last, after binding himself with more hor- rible oaths than Morgan, the anti-Mason, ever dreamed of, and making a liberal contribution for the purchase of gun- powder, he was allowed to go home, where he doubtless past the night in dreadful expectancy, and came to school next morning, only to find an audible smile on every face. Well, he treated the crowd to apples, and we unanimously agreed not to tell his father of his misadventure; in pursuance of which pledge, his name appeareth not in these pages. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 195 We were shabbily drest in those days. I think my pan- taloons were generally too short, and my coats seemed to have been made for some other person. We were very poor, but very plucky. We boarded ourselves, mainly on corn mush, washt the floors and built the fires at the Normal Hall, worked hard, lived hard, and were poorly provided with all things; our parents were sad-faced, struggling pioneers of the prairies; but we were cheery, resolute, and happy in our life and our work. To the toiling youth of frontier homes, thirsting for knowledge, the Illinois Normal University opened the gateways of a new life. We loved it, rejoiced in it, and were thoroly loyal to its name and fame. The school saw but little of its principal in those years. Two miles to the northward, across the sodden prairies, in the rainy autumn of 1858, were clay pits, heaps of brickbats, half- complete foundations for a stately structure, yet in embryo. The construction fund was exhausted, the state heavily in debt, business everywhere distrest and languishing; truly a somber prospect for the completion of a building, demanding, on the basis existing before the war, a hundred thousand dol- lars. It would be as easy today to raise a million. To secure these needed funds was the task which Charles E. Hovey set before himself. It was a labor for Hercules. His own fortune was pledged over and over. Had his plans failed, he would have been weighted for life with hopeless bankruptcy. This enormous task he undertook and carried thru. He had a place on the program of the school's daily work, but his classes gen- erally wrought out their own salvation. But in the winter of 1 860- 1 the building was completed; the legislature assembled; Governor Dick Yates delivered the dedicatory address; the State assumed the liabilities of the Board of Regents, and the enormous burden of debt rolled off the shoulders which had borne it so bravely. A new generation has arisen since those days, mainly ignorant of these events, and yet enjoying the fruits of those labors. It is for them that I make the record. We of the pioneering days, need no reminder of the grand work which could hardly have been performed by another than General Charles E. Hovey. We were free in our conduct, to a singular extent. No school rules rested upon us. Our hours and methods were wholly our own. We lived as we pleased, formed our friend- ships and associations, made our calls, and managed our af- fairs, entirely at our own choice and pleasure. Very few schools were ever so slightly governed. I do not believe that 196 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY our successors of today can be journeying under any similar slackness of rein. Nevertheless, the record of those years was a thoroly Spartan one. We were from Puritan households, disciplined in self-restraint. Industry and poverty were our safeguards. A magnificent park, stately buildings, a beautiful and pros- perous city, methods well-ordered, and polities established, splendid museums and laboratories, a wealthier and more cul- tured generation of students these are the pleasant things that greet the view as you gather to the silver wedding of our alma mater. It is not true that the former days were better than these, but we who saw the working out of the beginnings, had also our joys, struggles, and coronations; and we received a training which, if less orderly and exhaustive than that ren- dered now, nevertheless gave us some measure of fitness for our life-work. From my home and class room by the Pacific, I send hearty greeting to the teachers and pupils who worked in Major's Hall together. God bless and speed you all, dear old friends and comrades, and grant you such length of days that, in the seventh year of the twentieth Christian century, a few of us, if old, yet vigorous, if with snow on the head, yet with fire at the heart, may gather to our alma mater's golden wedding. H. B. NORTON. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, San Jose, California, July 23, 1882. BY LYMAN B. KELLOGG, CLASS OF 1864. My first term at the Normal was while the school was in Major's Block. It was the spring term at which the first class graduated. Enoch Gastman, large of size, red-haired and red- whiskered, was the most formidable looking member of the class. Having never before attended any school other than the country district and the public school of a small village, Major's Hall and the then Normal School seemed to me very majestic and impressive. Mr. Hovey was the president; but we did not see very much of him that term, because, as we understood, his time was almost wholly taken up with the building operations going on for the school out on the prairie two miles from town. He STATU NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 197 occasionally was present and led the devotional exercises at the opening of the school, and was supposed to be teaching the graduating class in one study. As I remember him, he was somewhat dark of visage, silent, and distant, with a grave and solemn face. It was vaguely understood that the Normal building was being erected under many difficulties, financial and otherwise, and that there was great danger of the work being suspended ; all of which was supposed to account for the pre-occupation, repeated absences, and anxiety, on the part of President Hovey. It was also understood by the new class, consisting of a dozen or fourteen, of which I was a member, that Mr. Hovey was a man of great executive ability and a good teacher. Later, 'as everyone knows, he went into the army as colonel of the Normal regiment, and came out a brigadier general, and afterwards practiced law in the city of Washington. There were about seventy-five students in attendance at that term. Major's Hall was on the top floor of a three-story business building. Our recitation rooms were on the second floor ; the first floor was occupied by two groceries and a second hand store, as I recollect. I have since learned that Major's Hall and the recitation rooms were considered dark, dingy, and somewhat dilapidated; but they did not so impress me. I considered them grand beyond compare. I remember that Henry B. Norton was a student at that time, tall, angular, awkward, careless in dress. His shoes were tied sometimes with white wrapping twine in the absence of a shoe string, but he had the countenance of a sage. Later he was editor of the Daily Pantagraph in Bloomington, and then came out to Kansas, serving as Associate Principal of the State Normal School at Emporia. Still later he taught natu- ral science, and made a great name for himself as teacher and lecturer, at the State Normal School of California at San Jose. I acquired no personal acquaintance with Enoch Gastman and the other members of the graduating class until near the end of that term, because they were so high and mighty, in the estimation of the beginners of my class, that we did not venture to ask for an introduction. They seemed to us to have been made of a better clay than the rest of us mortals. I remember that the graduating class recited in the large assembly room in English and American literature, and that in some mysterious way Henry B. Norton recited with them, altho not a member of the class. To our great surprise he 198 SUMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY seemed to know as much about books and authors as the real members of the graduating class. The entering class having no recitation at that time were supposed to be studying at their desks during the recitation of the graduating class in litera- ture. My recollection is of neglecting my studies at this hour and of feasting daily upon the enlarged wisdom of the gradu- ating class. My last term was in the spring of 1864. Richard Ed- wards, the president, was in the height and plenitude of his remarkable gifts as a teacher, public speaker, and executive officer. My recollection of the attendance is that it was something like three hundred. Mr. Pillsbury was the principal of the high school division of the model department. I was in charge of the grammar school division and also assisted in teaching some of the classes upstairs in the Normal school proper. In addition to this teaching I endeavored to carry on my regular studies as a member of the graduating class. I think there were seven of us who graduated that year. I was a member of the Wrightonian society. In those days the rivalry between the Wrightonians and the Philadelphians was great. The members of the Wrightonian society were well satisfied in their minds that their society was much su- perior to that of the Philadelphians. In some manner it was learned by us that the Philadelphians considered the members of the Wrightonian society much inferior to them in every possible way. As I look back thru the vista of years upon the two societies, I find that they were substantially equal in mem- bership, in enthusiasm, good fellowship, and general ability of their members. I have been told that there is now in the Wrightonian li- brary a full set of the bound volumes of the Atlantic Monthly magazine. It is my recollection that the first three or four volumes were contributed to the library by my procurement, with the hope of the then members of the society that the At- lantic Monthly should become a permanent acquisition to the library in the years to come. This was one of the dreams of a few of the Wrightonians in that very early day. In January following my graduation I came to Kansas up- on the invitation of the Board of Regents to serve as principal of the State Normal School of that State at Emporia. The Normal School of Kansas is an offshoot of the Illinois State ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 199 Normal University, and it has always been proud of that re- lation, just as the Illinois Normal is an offshoot from the Bridgewater Normal School of Massachusetts. BY JOHN WILLISTON COOK, CLASS OF 1865. There was great strife between the Wrightonians and Philadelphian societies in those old days. The rooms with un- carpeted floors and undecorated walls were furnished us and it was left to us to do whatever was to be done in the way of improvement. The recitation rooms were supplied with com- mon wooden chairs and these were borrowed on Friday even- ings, when there were energetic young fellows available to carry them upstairs. Sometimes they were forgotten on Sat- urday night after the close of the society meetings and, in consequence, there were chairless recitation rooms on Monday morning. The interviews that such a condition occasioned were not in all respects agreeable, hence there were strenuous efforts to secure a more ample equipment. The students were far from anything like wealth, yet there were notable instances of self-denial in their devotion to their societies. Anything in the way of improvement was carried on by stealth. The first wall decorations were in the way of small statuary. It didn't amount to much as measured by modern standards but it was little short of superb to us of the Wright- onian Society as it was unpacked behind locked doors all on a wonderful Saturday and ready to be displayed to the envious Philadelphians when the doors were opened for the evening meeting. There was a general stampede from the south room, the old home of "our friends, the enemy," when the "scoop" was revealed. It would have taken a long pole to reach the elevated pride of "Uncle Sim's" crowd that night. A piano was a prime necessity for the musical numbers on the Saturday evenings. Occasionally one was borrowed from a school room and laboriously elevated to the top story, but it was a killing business and it took a great occasion to develop enthusiasm enuf for the young fellows to undertake it. In consequence it was decreed at a secret meeting of the "steering committee" that in some way or other a piano must be forth- coming. The war was on and our patron saint, Uncle Sim, was at the front. But he came home on a furlough and three or four of us met him at the old Ashley House. Uncle Sim 200 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY gave us a number of pointers as to possible ways and means, but, most inspiring of all, he gave us fifty dollars as a start. We organized a secret society, for the whole thing was planned as "scoop number two," and within its inner circles the scheme was elaborated. One feature of the enterprise was a play, "Box and Cox," at Phenix Hall. The star performers were not students, altho one of them had been. There was Clare Messer, six feet three in his stockings and with the circumfer- ence of a telegraph pole. And there was Hyde Norton, a for- mer student and then engaged in the study of law, after being sent home from the army with the compliments of a confeder- ate sharpshooter. He was only a shade under Messer's length and another shade above his breadth. It was a great occasion and made big money. The piano was bought and secretly installed to the wonder of everybody and to the envy of the "other folks." Norton died in Cuba a couple of years ago and Messer is one of the leading artists in Washington city. Eugene F. Baldwin, he of the wonderful Peoria Star, turned up as an old student in '63. He had been in the army and had lost most of his health and nearly all of his hair. He got both of them back later. He was a genius then but not everybody knew it as they do now. He used to write plays and some of us did star parts in them. But the way in which he anticipated the modern talking machine is the thing I started to tell. He contrived a box with a noisy ratchet in it made from the crank of a chain pump. In those days there were book cases in the south end of the Wrightonian Hall and below them were ample closets. The box was mounted on legs and furnished with a curtain and placed before the partially opened door of one of the closets. A stage curtain surrounded the whole apparatus. The performance was billed for the period immediately after recess. It was an easy matter to slip behind the curtain and into the closet at recess time. Baldwin gave a learned dissertation upon the possibility of talking machines and declared that he had invented one. In proof thereof he drew the stage curtain, wound up his machine and, mirabile dictu! the thing began to talk. This was incon- testably the first phonograph. The affair was the sensation of the season for the talking attachment escaped from the closet in the distraction of the universal excitement. In war times an old student furloughed and just from the front, would occasionally be the center of attraction on a Sat- ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 201 urday night at the societies. How we all thrilled with respon- sive patriotism as he told us of the Normal boys in the south- ern camps and how they told and re-told, about the evening fires, the experiences of school and society life. The society quartets would sing the war songs and the young orators would flame with eloquence and the walls would re-echo the cheers of the ardent students. The new generation can never know the rate at which we lived in those days of storm and stress. And when there came the cheering news of a federal victory life was strenuous entif to suit the most responsive. BY E. F. BALDWIN. He Drew Maps. In the year 1863, in the fall term, there drifted into Nor- mal from the city of LaSalle, a tall, slim individual who regis- tered as R. A. Bower. He fell under the tutelage of Professor Hewett and the latter set him to drawing the map of South America. Bob protested against it. He couldn't draw a map, he couldn't even draw a straight line. But Hewett put his foot down, and so, Bower manfully shouldered his burden. He finally became interested in it and the result was he was the best map drawer in his class. After he left Normal, he drifted about for several years and finally went to Chicago and pro- posed to the firm of Rand, McNally & Co. that they add a de- partment of map publishing to their establishment and give him control of it. They are now the greatest map publishers in the world. They publish maps for Australia, Canada, and in fact, for almost every country under the sun. Bower is the largest stockholder in the institution. He owns 325 shares of the original 1000 shares in the company, and is rated at con- siderably over half a million dollars. Still, anyone dropping into the retail store of Rand, McNally & Co. in Chicago, will find Bob Bower, now grown to be a venerable, gray-headed gentleman, with an army of clerks under him, revising the map department and giving his orders for the coming campaigns. When we saw him last week, he had just shipped two car-loads of maps to Australia. All this great industry giving employ- ment to over looo people came because President Hewett in- sisted that Bob Bower should draw a map of South America. Of course, the moral of this is, whatever you do, do it well. 202 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY BY S. Y. GILLAN, CLASS OF 1879. How the School Appealed to Me As a Student. 1. It appealed to me as an institution in which hard work was recognized as the key to success and where "sissy boys" were estimated at their true worth and speedily eliminated. At that time the Normal University had something of a repu- tation as a student killer, and in that there was for me a cer- tain fascination. 2. The academic features of the course, the subjects to be mastered, attracted me more than did the "professional" work. The latter never seemed to me to be strong, and the more it developed the more I did not like it. Subsequent experience and observation have led me to think that the defect referred to was not a weakness peculiar to the school nor to that time. 3. The faculty as a whole imprest me as especially strong and well chosen for the work they were doing; and this im- pression has not changed with the years. Altho there were a few weak spots in the faculty, visible to discerning students, yet the strongest appeal of the school to me was thru the strength and skill that most of the teaching force displayed in the schoolroom. If I learned anything of method that was of abiding worth it came to me thru the example of good teaching rather than thru precept or doctrine pedagogic or psychologic. 4. The democratic spirit of the student body, the absence of sham, the freedom from inquisitorial control on the part of the teachers, the evidence on all hands that it was a school of the people existing for and representing the masses and not the classes, the earnestness of the students, most of whom were going to school, not sent, these were facts that appealed to me and deepened the conviction that "life is neither pain nor pleasure but serious business." BY CHARLES EORDYCE, CLASS OF 1 882. About a quarter of a century ago I entered the Illinois State Normal University for the purpose of putting a few fin- ishing touches on my public school attainments, preparatory to entering upon the duties of a teacher. Having passed the examination admitting to the High School, I was advised by Principal Burrington to visit classes in English grammar, ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 203 arithmetic, and geography to see whether they might offer any additional help. I was first ushered into the class of Martha D. L. Haynie, where the first half hour's experience paralyzed me. It became evident on my recovery that I could gain a few points in method, at least, by attending the class in Eng- lish grammar. I next visited the class in arithmetic under Mr. John W. Cook, whose flashes of mathematical wit convinced me not only that I knew nothing about arithmetic, but that my knowledge of other branches was too faulty to count for much in the Normal. I did not inspect other classes, but entered at once, and at the very bottom of the curriculum. Thru the friendly counsel of Dr. Hewett I was persuaded to join even the spelling class, which I found so full of culture, and whose subject matter grew so increasingly interesting that I was in- duced to "elect" this subject from year to year. Mr. Hewett went so far as to suggest that I might with some degree of profit pursue the branch in graduate work, saying that there were here hidden fields for the student in research. All through the course I shared the feeling with most of the students that the requirements were unreasonably severe; since graduation, however, I share with the alumni an equally common feeling that the rigidity of the work done is the one feature for which we are today most thankful. The doctrine that the candidate for teacher must knozu the subject to be taught, as well as the underlying principles by which it may be skillfully presented, was strictly adhered to by all the fac- ulty. In the exemplification of this tenet most of the faculty were models. I acknowledge my personal indebtedness to Mr. Cook for his keen, searching, Socratic method; to Mr. Met- calf for his wonderful tact in class management and his cheery, generous, sympathetic nature, which has ever been my ideal ; and, finally, to all the faculty for their impartial efforts to draw forth from the students the best in them. BY NATHAN A. HARVEY, CLASS OE 1884. My Early Impressions of Normal My impressions of Normal began on the morning of the twenty-first of March, 1880, about three o'clock. It was a most inauspicious beginning, for the weather was cold, every person was a stranger, and when the sun rose, it rose in the north and it continued to do so for the next four years. I re- 204 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY member Normal now as a place in which the sun rises in the north. I had the impression that it must be on the northeast side of the earth. It is a rather distressing circumstance when a man's consciousness and his compass do not agree. The first week in school, Mr. Cook sent me to the blackboard, in an arithmetic class, and said, "Go to the north board." I started in a direction that I afterward learned to be east. Mr. Cook said "North board." I went faster toward the east. "North board! NORTH BOARD! NORTH BOARD!" I reached the east side of the room on the run, when Mr. Cook pointed to the other side of the room, and said, with tremendous sarcasm, "This is the north board." I was really grateful for the information. The Normal School was at first to me one big, blooming confusion. A two-room school was the limit of my previous experience in educational matters, and, when as I was seated the first day in the Assembly room, wondering what would happen next, a tremendous multitude of people, without any particular reason for doing so, came trooping into the room like a mob or an army with banners, I did not know what to make of it. Then when the tumult had partially subsided, a lit- tle man would stand up in front and with a pencil, as a sword or scepter, would apparently threaten them, and scold them, and sentence them to decapitation or banishment, everybody would get up and troop out to begin sentence. I did not know what was likely to happen at any moment. My earliest experiences are the most vivid. I was scared to death most of the time. It seemed to me that the whole institution was organized for the purpose of threatening me. with total annihilation. Afterward I found that such was not the case, but that the whole institution was completely innocent of any knowledge of my existence. A man named Nolan entered school about that time. Nolan was somewhat older than many other students, and a good looking man. He was accorded the privilege of taking grammar as an extra subject. All went well the first week. The second week spelling began. Nolan, in the first class, fell below seven in his standing. He was sent to the second class. The next week he fell below seven in the second class. He was required to drop grammar. The next week he fell below seven again. He was required to drop arithmetic. The next week, still below seven, he was required to drop geography. In the cloak room one of the boys remarked to him, "Well, Nolan, ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 205 did the doctor make you drop another subject?" "Yes," said Nolan, "blessed if I won't have to drop everything pretty soon, but devotional exercises." From his language there was some apprehension of his ability to carry that. The societies were a source of continual delight. It was believed by many of the new members that the standard of excellence in the programs was so high that we could never hope to attain it, and we sometimes considered plans for di- minishing the standard. It was really this feeling that led to the organization of the Ciceronian society. I have known stu- dents who entered the school after I did who assisted at the organization of the Ciceronian society, but I attended several meetings of the society in the old "White Room" in the spring of 1880. Whenever a person wanted a fight or a frolic he could get it by means of the societies. The "Sociable Squab- ble" recorded in the History of the I.S.N.U. by Cook and McHugh, was only one of the incidents occurring in society circles in the period covered by my impressions. I happened to be treasurer of the Wrightonians at that time and was one of those who believed that it was very unwise to abandon a regular program for such a trifling affair as a sociable. There was little of the milk of human kindness wasted up- on us by the faculty in those days. Mr. Metcalf was recog- nized as the one man who had a soul in him. Miss Wakefield and Miss Pennell were kind to everybody. The other mem- bers of the faculty were considered to belong to a different and a superior order of beings. Bob Underwood expressed it one time, just after the board of education had made a regulation concerning the annual election of teachers, by saying, "The Normal School teachers have to be elected now just like humans." I am under the impression now that the Normal School of 1880 was a great school. I know that the class of 1881 was excelled in wisdom only by the class of 1880, which was the class that graduated the first term that I attended school. I feel sure that a rapid deterioration of classes in wisdom and goodness occurred after that, and my impression is that the en- tire school began to deteriorate shortly after I entered the in- stitution. Perhaps my presence contributed to that deteriora- tion. This is merely my impression. I have not undertaken to verify the truth or falsity of it. I am still under the impres- sion that the Normal School of the early eighties was a great school, and I have been told on reliable authority that the present school is even greater. Let us hope that it may con- tinue on its progressive career. 206 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY BY FRANK S. BOGARDUS, CLASS OF 1896. What the Normal Did For Me. Any person who has been a student at the Illinois State Normal University must have a rich fund of memories that come trooping up at the mere mention of the word "Normal." But one who has had the privilege of being a pupil and after- wards a teacher in the old school has double reason for thank- fulness. Such has been my privilege. In addition to this I have still another abiding bond of interest in the Normal; it is found in the fact that both my father and mother were graduated from it. Thus while I have received largely from it, I claim no common share in it; in a peculiar sense it be- longs to me and I to it. From the fact that my father and mother had been students at the Normal, it naturally followed, when it was decided that I was to be a teacher, that the Normal was the only school considered in connection with my further education. I have always been thankful that it was so. Candidly, I do not believe I had seen enuf good teaching before I went to the Normal to know what it was. My teach- ers, for the most part, up to that time, had settled down into the soul-deadening lethargy of mechanica] school-keeping. As I look at it now, it seems that they had little knowledge of child nature and no appreciation of pedagogical aims and methods. The purpose seemed to be to get a certain average result from the class, the individual child being practically lost sight of. The whole system was simply a piece of machinery and like machine made products we came from the schools bearing the stamp of uniformity and mediocrity. The whole process was stupefying, leveling, deadening. It was the com- plete triumph of the machine. May the Lord forgive those who were responsible! At Normal I came in contact with people who could teach, people who really had professional attainments. What a won- derful change from the other system ! At once these teachers in the Normal School became my ideal teachers and such they still remain to me. To say that whatever I learned as to prin- ciples and methods in teaching I got by being in contact with them is only expressing a truism. All people learn in that way. The daily recitation, whether in zoology or psychology, was to me an exposition and application of method ; I learned to teach by being in the classes of such men as President Cook IIvUNOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 207 and Professor Colton and watching them at their daily work and participating in it. Thus the Normal School did this much for me if no more it convinced me that there is such a thing as live teaching and it gave me the professional ideal. When I ask myself the question : "What did I learn at the Normal ?" I confess that I pause. Certainly, many things. And yet I am perfectly clear that its greatest contribution to my life was neither information, nor discipline. Indeed it seems to me that the course might have been planned so as to meet the peculiar needs of high school graduates better than it did on the informational side. Then there was a certain dis- ciplinary effect, a desire for thoroness, that was secured. It has proved of very great value to me since that time. But not the greatest. The peculiar, distinctive thing that the Normal did for me, the thing of greatest value was bringing me in contact with the great, rich personalities of my teachers and some of my fellow students. The intense stimulus to scholarly effort furnished by them was of immense value to me. The inspiration of their example and precept seized hold of me as it has hundreds of others and made the old life no longer pos- sible. I learned to believe in the possibility of achievement, in the value of the struggle, and in the inestimable treasures of scholarship. In a very real sense these teachers gave them- selves that we, their pupils, might live. The riches of their inner lives were freely bestowed upon us and we are living in the light they shed. Today we former students of the old school look back to her with pride and pain, and say to the noble men and women who labored there: "Out of your life you gave us life, out of your riches you made us rich." CHAPTER XV THE INFLUENCE OF THE SCHOOL UPON EDUCATION BY CHARLES DE GARMO, CLASS OF 1873 Qualitative rather than quantitive standards must be re- lied upon to give an adequate idea of the influence of the school upon education, for though one might deal with num- bers and per cents they would give but a poor notion of what the institution has accomplished for educational advancement. We need to know the quality of the men and women who have taught and been taught in the school, what their stand- ards of work and character have been, what prominence they have attained, what books they have published, what changes they have initiated, and how their influence has been dis- tributed over the various aspects of education. My own intimate knowledge of the faculty ranges from 1870 to 1890, so that I may perhaps be pardoned if I dwell more particularly upon the members then upon the staff. What especially impressed the students of the 7o's and the 8o's was the vigor, the moral earnestness, the efficiency, and withal the geniality with which the instruction was given. There was no ostentatious display of erudition, but there was always an evidence of firm intellectual grasp of whatever was taught such as awakened the admiration of the student, as when, for ex- ample, Edwards expounded Hamlet or Hewett assigned a long tracing lesson in geography to the whole school without once consulting map or text. The atmosphere of the school was elec- tric. When Cook taught reading or Metcalf algebra nothing else seemed of the slightest importance. When the student, "speaking rapidly," recited the prime factors of numbers to 50 for McCormick, the rest of the world was forgotten. When Sewall made the grimaces he called "phonics" he was awe- ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 209 inspiring, but when he gave himself to speculation, he was di- vine. Stetson awakened our aesthetic sense, not only thru literature, but also thru the beauty and exquisite neatness of his writing. Everywhere we met strongly marked personality, but underlying, permeating and suffusing everything done was that strong, electric, and cumulative enthusiasm, vigor, and earnestness, which once implanted in us was there for life. It was this spirit that enabled the school to impress itself first upon its own students, and then thru them upon the chil- dren of the State. Higher institutions depend in large meas- ure upon the subjects taught, upon the liberalizing character of advanced learning, for their ultimate influence upon the world, but the curriculum at the Normal embraced little more than elementary, and the beginnings of secondary studies. What the ultimate results should be depended, therefore, not upon the thing taught, but rather upon the intensity and thoroness of the teaching. It must ever stand to the honor of the faculty of those days that what it did, it did with its might, and that force of character applied to simple tasks was the means of its most enduring influence. Looking back over those days, one finds no startling in- novation originating from the Normal school. During the early 70*8 a wave of conviction went over the country that natural sciences should be an important part of even ele- mentary education. Six weeks' courses in them were estab- lished in the Normal, but this brief time effected no important results. It was only with the coming of Forbes, Seymour, and Colton that the new subjects began to be a force in ele- mentary education, tho mechanics and elementary astronomy had been effectively taught by Hewett at an earlier period. The greatest contribution that these men made to the cause of teaching was to impress the fact that intelligent comprehen- sion, not memoriter drill, lies at the bottom of every school exercise, whether in mathematics, language, history, geogra- phy, or natural science. This truth tho not new was and al- ways is important. In those days there was in the State little effective instruction in secondary schools, so that there was consequently small basis in the Normal for effective training in college subjects. Not until this sound foundation in the common branches was laid could the Normal school undertake the higher work, or devote itself primarily to professional study. But by the time the preliminaries were completed, the course was well nigh at an end. It is clear, therefore, that the excellence of the earlv efforts of the school consisted neither 210 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY in professional training nor in advanced study, but rather, as has been said, in effective teaching- of the common branches and the earlier studies of high school grade. This was what the situation of the time demanded, and this was what the early faculty contributed. Later years, bringing new stand- ards for admission, have of course made it possible greatly to strengthen strictly professional training. Turning now to the influence exerted by the school thru its students, it is obvious that this influence would be most wide-spread and effective thru the daily extension to a thou- sand schoolrooms of the earnestness, thoroness, and efficiency found in the instruction given by the faculty. It was here that the forceful enthusiasm of Edwards, the keen incisiveness of Hewett, the cultured accuracy of Metcalf, the genial thoroness of Cook, and the deliberate but irresistible driving power of McCormick found innumerable reduplication. These early contributions of the school to the cause of education naturally extended as the number of students increased, and as new members with more recent ideals and often with greater schol- astic acquirements were added to the faculty. One can never forget the new impetus that came with such teachers as Forbes, Seymour, James, Pennell, Haynie, Barton, Jones, Colton, Morris, Felmley, C. A., F. M. and Lida B. McMurry, Van Liew, and many others well known to Normalites of the pres- ent day. The early educational situation in Illinois gave to the Nor- mal school a broader influence than could otherwise have been expected. It was the only institution of the kind in this State, the high schools were in their infancy and the State Univer- sity was just beginning as a School of Agriculture and Me- chanic Arts. The result was that thousands of students who now go thru the high school and into college or university, then came to the Normal school, the only institution to which they could gain admission and which would give them educa- tion under the auspices of the State. One is, therefore, some- what prepared for Mr. C. H. Thurber's humorous remark when he found so many old Normal men occupying prominent positions in and about Chicago. "After inquiring into the an- tecedents of this and that educational leader," he said, "I be- gan to look around to find distinguished men who were not from the old Normal." To mention all the men and women who have helped to carry the spirit of the old school to the children of the State would be to call the roll of attendance for fifty years. All that ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 211 can be attempted in this place is to mention a few of the more prominent contributions to educational advance that have been made by individuals. First we have such veteran superintendents of great public school systems as Gastman, Gove, Walker, Raymond, Carter, Butler. Generations of teachers and pupils have felt their ef- fective and inspiring leadership. Many have proved their quality and passed on to younger institutions for the training of teachers the influence of the older school. Prominent among those who have distinguished themselves as professors or as principals of other Normal schools we find the names of Cook, Kellogg, Norton, Wilkin- son, Van Liew, Harvey, Blair, Hursh, Glotfelter, Morrison, W. Wilson, Blome, Ament, the McMurrys, and many others. The following graduates from the decade of 1891-1900 are now, or have been, engaged, regularly in Normal school work : Grant Karr, Mellie "Bishop, James Ament, Frank Blair, Elmer Gavins, Luther A. Hatch, S. F. Parson, W. J. Sutherland, Lura Eyestone, George W. Bishop, Jessie Cunningham, Edith Patten, Alice Patten, Eleanor Hampton, May Slocum, Fred D. Barber, J. G. Brown, Thomas H. Gentle, J. A. Keith, F. G. Mutterer, Frank P. Bachman, Nellie M. Phillips, Edward R. Hendricks, Thomas A. Hillyer, S. B. Hursh, George E. Marker, Clyde R. Travis, Rose Bland, Jessie G. Bullock, Mary M. Steagall, Frank S. Bogardus, Mabel A. Cooper (Mitchell,) Jessie M. Dillon, Marian T. Lyons, Clara M. Snell, Emilie B. Wright, William Crocker, William W. Martin, Olive L. Bar- ton, Anastacia Donohue (Hennegan,) Mary L. Trimble, Oliver M. Dickerson, W. H. Johnson, John P. Stewart, Ora S. Morgan, Genevieve L. Clarke, Anna G. King, I. N. War- ner, Charles W. Whitten a total of forty-nine. Not a few are recognized as leaders in their respective subjects in institutions of higher learning. Of such we may enumerate James, Brown, Gray, the Scotts (John and Walter,) Hodgin, Effinger, Erode, McCormick (Ed.), J. W. Hall, H. C. Metcalf, F. McMurry, Hieronymus. Higher and secondary commercial education in the United States owes more to three Normal school men than to all other agencies combined. The first of these is President E. J. James of the University of Illinois, who as director of the Wharton school of the University of Pennsylvania first showed the American University how to educate business leaders, and who in his report of 1893 on "The Education of Business Men in Europe" revealed the possibilities and need of such training 212 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY here. The next is Cheesman A. Herrick, director of the Com- mercial High School of Philadelphia, who first created a com- mercial high school in this country patterned after the Euro- pean model, and who has by his writings and addresses on this subject done most to spread and popularize its ideals. The third is J. J. Sheppard, director of the Commercial High School of New York, an institution magnificently housed and already training some twenty-five hundred boys for modern business. This course contains not only business technique, but also modern languages, applied sciences, history, econo- mics, commercial law and commercial geography, mathemat- ics, and such other branches of knowledge as conduce not only to business success but to business integrity of the highest or- der. These names and, with them, that of the old Normal must ever be associated with the genesis and early develop- ment of this new and important type of education in America. In hundreds of high schools in Illinois and the middle west, graduates of the old Normal are found. Whenever a Nor- malite has gone into a village as principal of the school, an effort toward establishing some work of high school grade has followed. And scores of young men, with high ideals of ser- vice, have gone to college, returned, and served as principals of high schools. The Boyers (E. R. and E. L.,) Goble, Parker, Briggs, the Hannas, and many others have added lus- ter to the fame of the old Normal. Educational literature has been greatly enriched by the writings of such men as C. A. McMurry, Brown, James, Keith, while the publications of the N.E.A. and the various journals of education show that Normal men have done their full share in shaping the educational ideals that have prevailed.* Our most noted journalist in the educational field is S. Y. Gillan, of Milwaukee, who well represents the accuracy of Metcalf, the incisiveness of Hewett, and his own unwavering courage in standing for what he conceives to be sanctified common sense and incorruptible democracy in education. R. R. Reeder is taking the spirit of the old Normal into the new field of charity education. The hearts of all old Normalites have recently beaten just a little quicker that one of their number, E. E. Brown, has been called to fill what is now the most distinguished post known to American schoolmen, namely, that of U. S. Com- missioner of Education, just vacated by our greatest leader, *DeGarmo's name should be added to this list. Editor. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 213 Dr. William T. Harris ; while another, Frank G. Blair, is now Superintendent of Public Education in the State of Illinois. The old order changes and with it the needs of yesterday. Now we have high schools everywhere and there are many in- stitutions of higher learning, at the head of which stands the great University of Illinois, now presided over by one of Nor- mal's most distinguished sons. Other Normal schools have been establishd and new agencies for the training of teachers have been founded in the universities. With these new con- ditions there will arise new duties, new opportunities for our alma mater. But the work of the first fifty years has the se- curity of history. The energy of the past, consecrated to the good of education by its conscience and moral strength, has done its work, and has exerted an influence upon education in State and nation that has been healthful, stimulating, and al- ways uplifting. When the history of the influence of the Normal for its next half century is written, there may be a record of greater usefulness to the cause of education than can now be written, but we may be assured that in singleness of aim, in steadfastness of purpose, in consecration to duty, as duty was revealed, and in genial efficiency in execution, the faculty and the boys and girls of old, tho they may be emu- lated, can hardly be surpassed. CHAPTER XVI THE I. s. N. u. CLUBS THE CHICAGO CLUB BY W. R. HEATH, CLASS OF 1884 I. THE BEGINNINGS In 1888 I was four years removed from my Normal stu- dent life and began to see the picture in a little clearer per- spective than formerly. The students of the old Normal carry something away with them they cannot lose. I am not acquainted with the present faculty and, therefore, cannot help but feel sorry for the students of this generation because they are denied the privilege of coming in contact with the sterling qualities of the faculty of the eighties. Dr. Hew- ett, the man with big heels, big head and big heart, large in every way except size; Professor Metcalf, whose criticisms always closed like a church service with a benediction ; whose influence upon us was like sunshine and spring showers; Dr. Cook, whom we perhaps remember best because he so many times gave us the worst of it; Dr. James, that clear-headed, vigorous scholar who taught as one having authority ; Mother Haynie, who scared me almost to death at first but who, when we became acquainted, liked me better and I feared her less. I could go on and name the whole list, every one of whom made an indelible impression upon the students coming within their influence. Everyone who went out from the old Normal took something of these noble men and women with him. This, I am sure, was the Genesis of The Chicago Club. It was the love for the old school which has followed us all, even until now. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 215 If I remember correctly, the particular occasion which callea for the meeting of May 5, 1888, was the National Teachers' Convention which was to be held in Chicago. I remember prior to this convention that we first passed the word around to as many Normalites as we could reach, that this meeting was to be held, and I believe the discussion was, how we could get the largest number of the Normal crowd together. We met at Lincoln Park. We purchased a large part of the supplies of a nearby restaurant, spread them out on the lawn and enjoyed a splendid afternoon. The Normal Club was then an established fact. I believe I was elected its first presi- dent and Cora A. Lurton (now Mrs. Warrick, of Nurnberg, Germany,) was the first secretary. Hon. and Mrs. R. A. Childs were always very loyal to the club, as were also Wm. Burry, Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Cook, Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Boyer, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Hall, Wm. Duff Haynie, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar L. McMurry, H. P. and M. P. Metcalf, O. J. Milliken, the Parrs all of them, Dr. Sarah Hackett Stevenson, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Tear, Mr. and Mrs. O. R. Trowbridge, Mr. and Mrs. John M. Wayman, and many others. Surely men and women like these could not fail to make a club. The main purpose of the club then, as I presume it is now, was to renew acquaintances and to keep green the mem- ory of the old school. BY MACK M. LANE, CLASS OF 1892 ii. THE CAREER The records show that following closely after this initial meeting there was a meeting held at the Grand Pacific Hotel for the purpose of definitely organizing the proposed club, and it required two more meetings during the summer and fall to perfect the organization, and these were followed in the suc- ceeding January by a luncheon and social meeting at the home of J. H. and E. F. Parr. At this meeting Prof. John W. Cook and Miss Flora Pennell of the Normal faculty were present, and "The club was favored by a few informal remarks by Professor Cook and Professor Cox" (quoted from the min- utes). I presume the Professor Cox mentioned was Henry C. Cox, still a principal in the Chicago schools and I think the oldest in point of service of a dozen or more Normalites oc- cupying the position of principal in the city. 216 SEMI-CENTENNIAL, HISTORY This meeting in a way established the form that annual meetings have since taken. Sometimes the spread has been more pretentious, in name at least, and the program more ex- tensive. There have been banquets at noted hotels and sup- pers at Hull House and teas in club rooms; there have been programs with set speeches and evenings of comic debate; there have been memorials for revered teachers, passed to their reward, and times of acclaim for the honored living; but in all these varying programs there has been the looking back to the old school with reminiscent mind and softened heart ; there has been the renewing of old friendships, and the making of lasting new ones on the basis of a common interest, the love of the old school. The club is not limited to graduates of the Normal Univer- sity, nor to residents of Chicago, tho it is called the Chicago Club. The constitution provides that anyone who has been connected with The School as student or teacher may be a member, but custom has invited to membership all who have been connected with the school in any way, and all territory convenient to Chicago is considered the fair field of the club. Mention is made in the report of the fourth meeting, that no business was transacted, while the report of the fifth meet- ing held about four months later makes no mention of eating, but deals chiefly with business, mention being made of one speech. The later custom has been to have a banquet with nu- merous toasts following, in which the old Normal has always been well represented ; the business being conducted as briefly as possible. Since the organization of our club there was one year in which there was no meeting. That was probably due to the excessive activity of the club during the previous year, 1897, when there were three general meetings. That was the fortieth anniversary of the founding of the Normal School, and we were so ambitious as to talk of celebrating the event in grand style in Chicago and it was to plan for that celebration that the first meeting was called. We then learned that a movement had been begun at Normal for a celebration there. The Chi- cago Club then united with the forces at Normal to push their celebration and to this end held two more meetings, the last being the annual banquet, which was the largest meeting the club has ever held. It was in the announcement of the first meeting of this year that Prof. Edmund J. James, then president of the club, gave ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 217 a definition of "Normalite" which broadened the scope of that term somewhat, as suggested in a previous paragraph. This is his definition : "I may say right here that the word Normalite is of un- common gender and includes not only all of the old boys and girls (so far as there are any of the latter category), but also their wives and husbands as well perhaps also their children." The club has grown gradually from about thirty charter members to several hundred. The last printed list contained four hundred twenty-six names, and the list now in press, to be issued soon will contain more than two hundred additional names. We believe the Chicago Club of the I.S.N.U. has done its work well and we predict for it a future career no less bright and helpful than its past. The club always extends a hearty welcome to newcomers in the city. THE NEW YORK CLUB DATA FURNISHED BY WILLIAM J. MORRISON CLASS OF 1888 At the Asbury Park, N. J., meeting of the National Edu- cational Association in July, 1905, three "old Normalites" en- gaged in a conversation. These men were R. R. Reeder, '83, W. J. Morrison, '88, and Grant Karr, 1891. To those who knew these men, or any of them, it will be no surprise to learn that the outcome of this conversation was a decision to estab- lish an I.S.N.U. Club in New York City. The plan, which these men agreed on and which was subsequently adopted, in- cluded in the membership not only the alumni and former students of the I.S.N.U., but also all enthusiastic and loyal former residents of Bloomington and Normal. At present the scope of the club includes only an annual reunion and banquet in May or June. At the meeting in 1905, twenty- four members were pres- ent. The present list is fifty-three. A meeting was held on May 4, 1907, at the New Grand Hotel. The officers for 1906- 07 are : President, Dr. George W. Riley, '92 ; Vice-President, Dr. Grant Karr, '91 ; Sec.-Treas., William J.

RAYMOND FlTZWILUAM, CLASS OF l866 The Old Plank Walk The story of the old Normal's glories is in other hands, while I am to tell of one of those prosaic accessories, the old plank walk. But upon this the very life and comfort of Nor- mal's representatives largely depended. Tho fully appreciat- ive of the difficulty of making such a subject readable, I never- theless, as in days of old, "mind the teacher," and venture the attempt for "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." "If memory favors me, I will a tale unfold, whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul." Bloomington in the early sixties was an unpretentious town of possibly ten thousand inhabitants. Normal was its nearest neighbor, and distant two miles. It consisted of the University building, a few boarding houses, and some half dozen private residences, the McCambridges, Fells, Diedrichs, Cases, Bake- wells, Fyffes, Edwards, Metcalfs, and Hewetts being among those best remembered. Between these two places lay prairie, creek, railroad, wagon road, trees, brambles, flowers and all their accompanying associates. Never in any spot did Illinois' reputation for rich, black soil, deep and greasy, reach a higher standard than along the main road from Bloomington to Normal. Those were days when no method of public trans- portation existed between these two points, not even "Dave Law's carriage, propelled by steam dummies" had appeared. Lads and lasses who would go to Normal U. All must with measured tread the dirt road pursue. When came chill November's blasts and deluge poured On the rich black earth, we cried, a board, a board. Three maidens, with benevolent spirit blest; Heeded the cry of those who had been distrest. Their names should be emblazoned in Normal Hall, For they gathered the sheckels and issued the call. 224 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY To Normal's boys who could use hammer and saw, To meet on Saturday and observe the law Laid down by the maidens, to build a plank walk With two boards to a span, so all must "walk chalk." Other stipulations involved in the case, Named by the boys, or they'd not enter the race, Were "the planks for the walk must be known as green So when sun-dried, the distance the two towns between Would be divided in half, to give of time more, To practice phonetics and hearse love lore" Cracks, between planks, were by agreement narrow, So lover's tales their neighbors would not harrow. Historic the day when the hammer and saw Completed the plank walk according to law. A feast fit for the gods was spread out of door, And workers bid to sample the dishes galore. The setting sun stretched his celestial rays of light Across the level landscape; 'twas sober-liveried night When the valiant workers homeward plodded their way Triumphant in the hearts of the maidens, in work of the day. The steep, where fame's proud temple shines, is hard to climb, Flowers are born to blush unseen for lack of time, But Pike, Dunn, and Raymond of plank-walk fame, Are blazoned in glory in history's name. But how can I now from Pegasus descend And bring this doggerel to respectable end? Only on bended knee, before the great Muse, Pray for foregiveness and past abuse. The girls and boys of the sixties were quite a little nearer the pioneer period than those who now frequent Normal Halls, and, like their parents, had helped hew the way to comfort and improvement. Nothing daunted them, they feared noth- ing, and each home was a manual training school. Night and day this old walk received innumerable repre- sentatives of common leisure. Side by side, walked; thigh to thigh sat scholar, athlete and Bohemian in a guild of fellow- ship, for better than the dusty ruts of learning, no fears to beat away, no strife to heal, the past unsighed for and the future sure, learning a mutual respect and an appreciation of life which could not be gathered from the contemplation of a cuneiform inscription, or a journey into the wastes of spher- ical trigonometry. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 225 Of all the beautiful pictures That hang on memory's wall, Are those of the lads and lasses Roguish Cupid did enthrall As they strolled on the walk immortal Made by story, a road of much fame, And by the arts and crafts practiced Played "catch hearts" to a winning game. "One tied her bonnet under her chin And tied a young man's heart within." Like Hebe in her ruddiest hour Another with divining eyes did win. Forty years is not a long term in the life of a nation ; nei- ther is it in the life of a city, but it well-nigh spans the useful activities of an individual. Life's school is nearly over for some of us. To some it has been easy ; to some it is still hard. Some of us are unfortunate enough to have to learn our les- sons over and over again. But to all of us there is a home- coming at night when the sun sets. And when as little simple children we join the ever swelling home-coming, shall we be greeted by our sweet smiling mother of old ? Burial of Section A. It had been the annual custom of allowing Section A a day in May to put the finishing touches on their themes. This was called "Theme Day." This gave an occasion for Section C to drape the seats of the seniors signifying their school death. In the spring of '83, Section C decided to depart from the usual custom and have a regular funeral. When "Theme Day" dawned, the people of Bloomington and Normal saw the towns placarded with the following notice : "SUCCUMBED TO THEMES SECTION A. Funeral services on the University Campus At 4 o'clock P. M. today." Promptly at four a procession of veiled men and women dressed in black, led by O. J. Milliken, the priest, six pall-bear- ers carrying a coffin, and a brass band with muffled drums, filed out of room eleven, thru the assembly hall, down to the campus. The coffin contained a dummy with a negro false face, and across the lid was printed in large white letters 226 SEMI-CENTENNIAIy HISTORY "Our Darling." During the previous hour a grave had been dug about four hundred feet north of the University. As the procession solemnly emerged from the University it was greeted with a throng of possibly five thousand spectators who had gathered to see the fun. Meanwhile Section A, under the leadership of John L. Hall, Fred Smedley, and Harry Hammers, armed with clubs, came marching from the west and arrived at the scene just as the coffin was being lowered and the priest was pronouncing the last benediction, "Dust to Dust, Ashes to Ashes, and Brains to Brains." W. R. Heath arose and said, "Let us all sing the 'Doxology.' ' Just then a club was thrown thru the drum. This was a signal for action and everybody acted. During the melee, the coffin was stolen and several of the participants had to be carried from the field on stretchers. Harmony was not restored until Section C gave a banquet to Section A, at which time everybody was forced to swallow his grievance. The Man in the Moon. About a quarter of a century ago, when the present I.S.N.U. was, so to speak, but half grown, there was published anonymously at the University a little booklet entitled The Man in the Moon which was evidently meant as a sort of gay and unrestrained tho harmless satire upon the customs and condi- tions then in vogue at our alma mater as viewed by some of the more daring and romantic among the students of that day. While nothing is revealed as to the number or identity of the writers participating in this unique venture, the booklet contains sufficient internal evidence to warrant the conclusion that it emanated from the student mind; furthermore, that "Noah kount Phd., etc." is a composite pseudonym for the au- thors of these frivolous and disconnected compositions as they could not have been the effusions of a single mind. Probably the etc. was meant to indicate diversity of authorship rather than the more obvious suggestion of diverse or additional scholastic decorations. Very great secrecy enveloped the enterprise from start to finish as it was considered an extremely hazardous undertak- ing. Of course, the secret was to a certain extent shared by one-third of the student body, it being estimated that some- IUJNOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 227 thing like one hundred copies were sold by advance subscrip- tion, merely upon an oral statement of the name and character of the publication. This fact would seem to indicate that the authors must have been well-known and of good standing among their fellows. Much anxiety was felt by the more careful and conscien- tious among the friends of the conspirators, it is said, upon the attitude which the faculty might assume. Grave fears were entertained that the offense might be considered sufficient cause for expulsion. Indeed, it has been intimated that among the gentler sex it was seriously questioned whether it was not treasonable to own a copy. The faculty was equally reticent in regard to the matter. For while it was currently reported, upon what authority is not clearly known, that certain meetings of the faculty were devoted to discussion of the episode, it is not thought that the perpetrators were ever even so much as suitably admonished upon the subject. Whether this was due to the impenetrable mystery surounding the identity of the persons implicated in the plot, or to a feeling on the part of some that the whole matter should be considered as a joke and treated with digni- fied silence, is a question which for a long time was much disputed. Owing to the limited circulation it is believed that the au- thors could not have received as proceeds of the sales more than enough to meet the expenses of printing and binding. The inventors of this little bit of entertaining frivolity need not be named. Those for whom this sketch is intended will are now enrolled in a higher school, and maybe one at least of the frolicsome young authors has gone to his long home. Working the Roads In the spring of 1877, about twenty-five of the boys were notified by the local authorities to work the usual two days on the roads. A meeting of the students interested in the matter was held in Dr. Sewell's room, and the subject was thoroly discussed. It was decided that they should turn out in a body, each one taking three others to work on his time, thus putting in the required two days in half a day. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Gillan, Berkstresser, Faulkner, Boyer, and Bainum, was appointed to make necessary arrangements 228 SEMI-CENTENNIAI, HISTORY for the particulars of the plan. The committee drew up a code of regulations which all agreed to observe, to the effect that: 1. All were to come to school at the usual time the next morning, and remain until after devotional exercises and spell- ing, and when the classes passed out, file down stairs, form in line in front of the building, and march to the scene of the day's labor. 2. White shirts, collars, coats, and jewelry of any kind, were strictly forbidden to be worn. 3. As far as practicable, pantaloons must be worn inside of boots. 4. Each should be provided with whatever implement for digging he might be able to improvise. The next morning a unique and motley crowd assembled, bearing a great variety of implements, from a grubbing hoe to a garden rake and a fire shovel. Edward Faulkner was chosen captain, and the company, consisting of eighty members, was divided into squads of eight, each commanded by a sub-boss. Forming in line, they marched to the place designated by the roadmaster, just south of the iron bridge over Sugar Creek, on Main street. After working (?) about an hour, three of the "busy B's," Berkstresser, Bainum, and Burger, were sent to Bloomington to get a supply of liquid consolation, as the day was warm and the "work" thirst-provoking. Owing to the fact that the committee required so much time to "sample" the different varieties, it was near noon when they returned in company with a drayman and a barrel of cider. Sitting in the shade of the maples by the road side, the crowd, by this time augmented to one hundred, or more, soon emptied the barrel. The remainder of the program consisted in building a memorial mound of earth some six or eight feet high, in the middle of the road, making speeches, listening to vocal music by a colored man, who, passing by, was captured and urged to sing, altho he protested that he had not time to wait, and the final homeward march. A large stone was selected from the creek near the Chicago and Alton railroad, and taken thru the streets of Normal to the front of the city council's office, where it was planted by the sidewalk with appropriate cere- monies. In dedicating the stone as a memorial to the city council, Hoffman, Gillan, and Stephenson were called on for speeches, and each one of the audience contributed a fitting sentiment as he put in his spadeful or hoeful of earth. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 229 Two days later was commencement. By preconcerted ar- rangement, at the close of the exercises, the boys repaired to the west steps of the building, where, in a neat and appropriate speech, Mr. Edward Faulkner, in behalf of those who had worked on the road, presented the roadmaster with a hat, as a token of good feeling and respect, he having acted in the matter only in obedience to the legal direction of the city coun- cil, but having treated the boys in a most gentlemanly and generous manner. The Liberal Fight. In the fall of 1874, the following young men, who were then students of the State Normal University, organized a so- ciety, termed the "Liberal Club," which originally consisted of John Shearer, Samuel Wadsworth, L. B. Wood, Stephen Spear, Charles Howard, Christopher Stephenson, George Snell- ing, Asbury Crawford, McPherson, Hume, Adam Hoffman, and Geo. L. Hoffman, which was subsequently joined by W. C. Gemmill, S. B. Hursh, J. N. Hursh, Cyrus W. Picking, George Beaty, Albert Snare, Dorus Hatch, Brown, a Hindoo, Charles Schwer, Merriett, Tren- chard, and others. The objects were mutual improvement, and an impartial investigation, as near as might be, of such subjects as might be deemed beneficial and of common interest to the members of the club. Free scope was given to a proper discus- sion of any subject under consideration, each member feeling that his honest opinions could be frankly stated and his doubts exprest without restraint. No matter how diversified the opin- ions of the different members, each member and his opinions were to be treated with respect, whether upon questions of education, politics,, science, morals, or religion. Hence the name, "Liberal Club." To many, the name suggested that the club was antagonistic to orthodox religion, but this was pri- marily foreign to its object, although, incidentally, its members invaded the domain of orthodoxy, for opinions were freely exprest upon various phases of religion, its creeds, doctrines, and sects, as well as upon other topics of interest. The club work consisted in reading and commenting upon Tynclall's Belfast Address, Draper's Intellectual Development of Europe, Huxley, Darwin, Winshel on Evolution, Herbert Spencer, Butler's Analogy, Theodore Parker's Discourse on Religion, 230 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY and other books of like character. Besides, essays were writ- ten by the members, and read and criticized by the club. All the members were liberally inclined in their religious views, and frequently gave expression to their religious senti- ments in the Wrightonian and Philadelphian Societies. Of this, the strict orthodox members of these Societies disap- proved, and especially those belonging to the Young Men's Christian Association; consequently, they arrayed themselves against the Liberal Club, and recognized its members as an- tagonistic to religion and its institutions, and endeavored to tolerate no exercises in the societies which tended to be at vari- ance with orthodox doctrine. The Liberals, acting on the de- fensive, claimed that the societies were secular institutions, and that there was no more impropriety in discussing theological subjects, in an honest and candid manner, than there was in treating other topics. This opposition to the Liberals brought about a zealous rivalry between the Liberals and their friends, and the Young Men's Christian Association and their sym- pathizers. The strong opposition to the Liberals became clearly mani- fested in the societies after the Liberals had arranged to pre- pare a program for each society, which was to consist of exercises given by members of the Liberal Club alone. The proposition had been accepted by Mr. Drayton, president of the Philadelphian Society, and Josiah Hodge, president of the Wrightonian Society. This was in the fall of 1874 or 1875. Adam Hoffman, who was a member of the Liberal Club, suc- ceeded Mr. Hodge as president of the Wrightonian Society. It was during Hoffman's administration that the program pre- pared by the Liberals for the Wrightonian Society was given. For admitting this program, the president was censured by a majority vote of the society. This motion was made and sup- ported by members of the Young Men's Christian Association and others opposed to the Liberal Club. This motion called forth heated discussion for several evenings, and finally a mo- tion to strike the vote of censure from the record prevailed, without a dissenting voice. Some of those who supported the motion of censure, after due deliberation, concluded that they were hasty. The trouble in the Wrightonian Society was thus ended. The program prepared by the Liberals for the Phila- delphian Society, was given after some little opposition. No reasonable objection could be urged against the character of these programs. They were in every respect commendable and worthy to be offered in the society halls. The opposition IUJNOIS STATE NORMAIv UNIVERSITY. 231 was to the privilege granted to the Liberals, rather than to the nature of their exercises. The leaders of the opposition to the Liberals were W. S. Mills, L. C. Dougherty, J. P. Hodge, James Ellis, B. F. Stocks, Kenyon, and others. The next contest took place in the Philadelphian Society at its spring election, when there were two candidates for presi- dent, viz. : Laybourn and Charles McMurry, the latter receiv- ing the support of the Liberals, altho he had no connection with them, and the former being the choice of the Young Men's Christian Association. There would have been no difficulty at this election had not Laybourn's supporters promulgated that the Liberals were supporting McMurry, and that McMurry must be defeated. This caused an issue to be made between the Liberals and the Young Men's Christian Association at this election. Both parties zealously engaged in securing voters and advocating their claims. On the day of election, when the result was announced, it was evident that Charles McMurry was elected, whereupon a few of Laybourn's ardent supporters charged fraud upon the judges, George Beaty, D. C. Tyler and Miss Mary Anderson, and, at the following meeting of the society, succeeded in carrying a motion for another elec- tion, without first duly investigating the election. This arbi- trary move was denounced as unjust and illegal by McMurry's friends. The excitement was intense for several days. Special meetings were called for the purpose of determining the proper mode of proceeding for an investigation of the election, but no terms could be reached other than that there should be another election without further ceremony. The McMurry constitu- ents refused to yield their position. The strife was growing fiercer, day by day, and no compromise could be effected, until finally some of the members of the faculty saw proper and necessary to advise. Upon their suggestion that it would be best to consent to another election without further difficulty, the Liberals and McMurry's friends yielded, and another elec- tion was called. The excitement had risen to such a pitch that it interfered with the regular school work of those who were most interested. As soon as it was conceded that there would be another election, both factions at once proceeded to solicit members to pay their dues, so that they could vote. Before the close of the election, the number of voting members in the Philadelphian Society was more than doubled, and the election again resulted in favor of Charles McMurry. Both candidates were highly esteemed by the students, and either would have been satisfactory so far as they were individually concerned. 232 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY But the fight was between the factions, rather than for their candidates. When McMurry's election was announced, a scene of wild excitement took place. After this election, all differ- ences were adjusted, and the waging factions ceased their hos- tilities toward each other, and it was generously conceded by the leaders in the fight that both parties were too rash, and acted imprudently. It is an event that will always be remem- bered by those who attended school during the period of the Liberal contest. Whatever the Liberal or the Orthodox may have said in the societies which was of sufficient force to call forth comment must at last have been of mutual benefit, either in tempering or strengthening both in their respective con- victions. Illustrations of Early Times. One of our early peculiarities was the possession of ninety acres of land for a model farm, and the existence of the idea that agricultural chemistry, if no more, was to be taught in the institution. With the laudable desire to spread a little agri- cultural knowledge over as large a surface as possible, the board managed to secure a course of lecture_s on chemistry, with the intention of making, eventually, some kind of uni- versal application of the principles to the agricultural improve- ment of the State, thru the knowledge infused or injected into the Normal School. A lecturer was therefore employed, who gave us highly interesting discourses upon the principles of chemistry. He laid down the law at a galloping pace, took us below the crust of the earth and beyond the planetary bodies in a remarkably short time, pouring out knowledge at the rate of no one knows how many volumes per month. Had we all been short-hand reporters, and had we been given time to write out and study his information, it is quite probable we might have acquired some knowledge of the great science of chemistry, and might at some future day, when teaching in the rural districts, have given the world some bene- fit from the lightning calculations. But as we knew nothing of the tricks of short-hand writing, and were not even allowed to take notes, and had no breathing spells allowed for that pur- pose, it naturally happened that the old adage pertaining to things that go in at one ear and out at another had pertinent application. After a number of weeks of this treatment, some ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. one, possibly one of our hardworking drill masters, with a weary experience of our general dullness, suggested that in all probability, the pupils were not fully appreciating the magnifi- cent ideas cast before their feeble understandings. But our re- markable lecturer, who fully understood his own teachings, believed he had been so careful in his statements, and had made his way so remarkably straight and plain that the school had certainly mastered the subject as far as he had progressed, and refused to believe there was any doubt upon the subject. It was then suggested that in order to test our knowledge, a written examination be sprung upon us without warning, and that the result would show our ignorance, tho it might not prove his failure to give us an opportunity to learn. The lecturer at once fell into the trap, if trap there was. We were provided with blank paper in the ordinary way, and a list of questions was propounded in the ordinary way. In his anxiety to prove our thoroness, he gave but a few simple questions. The latter were in many instances answered correctly, but as the pupils might have learned these points thru general sources of information, the real test was considered to be the answers to questions of a technical nature. These were generally so far above the pupil's comprehension that very little stationery was spoiled by any attempt at answering, and the paper, like our minds, came out of the ordeal as blank as before. One question I shall never forget, tho the proper answer has not been found in twenty years of extensive reading, "What is Al- lotropism?" Only three or four attempted to grapple with this terrible fiend. One believed it a system of medicine in op- position to homeopathy; one believed it a species of extinct mammalia ; and one did actually show, by his answer, that the word had been railroaded into some previous lecture. I shall never forget the expression of our lecturer's face as he read these answers which were to be taken as evidence of his ad- mirable system, and which gave proof so conclusive that the lecturer's platform was after that generally vacant during the early days of the Normal. Another theory was tested to the satisfaction of the school, but it never came to a full and final end in my time, and this was the idea that each and every person can be made a musi- cian, or a teacher of music. Some of the members of the State Board went so far as to refuse to believe a pupil should be al- lowed to graduate unless he was able to teach music and lead 234 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY in singing. Prof. C. M. Cady, of Chicago, was employed, with strict instructions to spare no pains to prove the correctness of the theory of the existence of universal musical ability. He divided the school into four sections. "A" was made up of good singers, those who had good voices, and also could read music readily by sight. "B" included moderately well-in- formed singers, and those who were capable of being rapidly advanced. "C" comprised all with a natural ear for music; those whose voices needed training to fit them for a place in the upper classes. According to popular report, section "D" was made up of "birds that couldn't sing, and that could never be made to sing." This class was small, but desperate. It la- bored zealously to grasp the rudiments of the grand art, but its best efforts were failures, and it became, in the course of a year or so, the laughing stock of the entire school. Being an early and constant member of this class, I have a right to men- tion its woes and tribulations, and to observe that it finally graduated from the pursuit of knowledge under these difficul- ties, by rising in a body and leaving the hall when the music hour arrived, no permission being asked or given, it being tacitly conceded that the pet theory of universal musical train- ing had broken under the strain. Music and penmanship were to be supplemented by the elegant accomplishment of drawing, and we were engaged three hours each week in this delightful pastime. Our instruc- tor was a sedate Episcopal clergyman, whose home was at Springfield. He believed in training all the faculties, and was anxious we should acquire proper ideas of perspective, and lines, and shades, and shadows, and become experts in some one branch of this delightful art. He conceived the idea of teaching the construction of capital letters on a large scale, giving blackboard exercises to the whole school by sections, in hopes, I suppose, that we might some day compete with sign painters. I remember that when his class was examined at the close of the winter term in 1860, our beloved professor re- quested section "C" to give an illustration of the method of constructing the letter "E." History compels me to remark that several of his pupils had attained such proficiency that they certainly were fully worthy of taking rank with second- class sign painters, and their capital letters were really almost capital specimens of art. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 235 Our Mr. Hewett was much given to bright sayings and happy retorts and on this occasion he perpetrated one of his very best. Passing in review in front of the long blackboard in company with our professor, he quietly remarked: "Sec- tion C has performed today with great ease." (E's.) Our quiet teacher, not given to w r it and humor, agreed with a gentle laugh, and thru his mind there galloped no idea of the pe- culiar humor of the remark. During the evening of that day, at a social gathering of teachers and pupils, someone explained to our drawing master, with not a little difficulty, the real point of Mr. Hewett's little joke. When he thoroly took in the situ- ation, his joy and gratification knew no bounds. "Section 'C' performed with great E's" he repeated over and over again, and seemed at last to fully realize that something truly good had actually been said. If any have never heard of the great and good Professor Washington Irving Vescellius, or the great American card writer, they would thank me for the information that he was the first "professor" employed in the Normal University. Be- fore his time, down to a somewhat later date, all our instruc- tors were teachers, and they were unsparing in ridiculing the ordinary professors of the State. How the title ever took root here, after our experience with the great Vescellius, passes my humble comprehension. This remarkable professor gave gen- eral writing lessons to the whole school, much after the fashion of the agricultural chemistry class. Under his tuition, all the students were to be brought to the highest style of penman- ship, and after graduation, were to be prepared to compete with other American card writers, and might be supposed capable of conducting an evening writing school. This ac- complishment, when added like a mansard roof to the ability to teach music, would effectually dispense with the traveling professor, whose cards displaying impossible doves and eagles are hung up in the postoffices and other public resorts, and with the above-mentioned musical accomplishment, render writing and singing teachers extinct races, only to be met with in the lightest of light literature of the day. Professor Wash- ington Irving Vescellius was considerably inflated by the pro- motion thus accorded to his merit, gave his whole soul to the work, and delighted himself and the school by the most bril- liant blackboard exercises. Upon one unfortunate occasion he told the school the lesson of the day was to be the "shyro- 236 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY graphic curve," and the general subject of "shyrography." I believe the gentleman wondered why this particular lesson proved so amusing to the school, and that he believed himself a much injured person, when the faculty soon after dispensed with his further services. The Eclipse of the Moon. In the fall of 1874, on a certain Saturday evening, a total eclipse of the moon was advertised. The performance was to begin at one o'clock Sunday morning. After society meeting, those who were members of the "seventh hour class" strolled off in groups, two in a group, or whiled away the blissful mo- ments discussing the critic's report, or the general topic of spelling ; feeling all the while that eclipses were a grand, good blessing to those who found it difficult to frame excuses for occupying the parlor late at night and burning so much of the landlady's kerosene. The strictly steady ones went to bed; for, truth to tell, many of them had not heard that there was going to be an eclipse. A few boys, however, determined to "raise a racket" worthy of the occasion. Gathering about forty on the east side, they crossed the University campus to the west side, where were a large number of boys, "batching" and in clubs. Most of them were asleep. Collecting about the houses, the crowd would make night hideous until those within were prevailed upon to join the party. Re-crossing the ground, with numbers doubled, they reached the club house, popularly known as "Saint's Rest," next door to Dr. Hewett's residence, and quieter measures at first were resorted to in order to raise the boys, who were chiefly of the strictly cir- cumspect sort. A committee of two or three went to each room, but some of those within, probably filled with visions of cruel hazing, resolutely refused to admit the callers. In vain the explanation was made that the intention was only to raise as large a crowd as possible, call out one of the professors and get him to "talk eclipse." One burly, broad-shouldered fel- low displayed violent symptoms of becoming unpleasantly pugilistic. All but two or three, however, yielded at last, and by this time the eclipse was coming on. As to which one of the faculty should be called out, was the next question. Edwards wouldn't do. He would prob- ably take it amiss. So thought several of the leaders of the ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 237 party who did not happen to be on the most amicable terms with the president. "Doc" (Sewall) was just the man, but he was not at home. Professor Hewett was selected as the vic- tim. The company of about one hundred ranged along the street in front of the professor's house. A committee of three "waited on him" by vigorously ringing the door-bell until he was wakened. It would seriously impair the writer's reputa- tion as a truthful historian to say that Dr. Hewett was in full dress when he appeared at the door to inquire, "What's the matt erf" With a word of explanation from the boys, he took in the situation in a moment. Said he had returned late in the evening from a trip by rail, and too weary and sleepy to sit up till the time of the eclipse, had gone to bed, but thanked the boys kindly for waking him. Then, putting on wraps, he came out, and for more than an hour entertained and in- structed us with explanations and facts regarding the heavenly bodies. Altogether it was probably the best remembered lec- ture on astronomy that any of those who heard it listened to during their course in school. The "Stolen" Record. Perhaps there never was a time in the history of the Phila- delphian and Wrightonian Societies when rivalry took on a more intense feeling than it did in 1889-1890. After the lapse of years the episode that started the trouble seems far less im- portant than it once did, but it would be difficult to exaggerate the bitterness of the feeling that existed at the time. Friend- ships close and intimate were strained to the breaking point, charges and counter-charges filled the air for weeks, numerous meetings were held, resolutions were passed, lawyers were consulted, and it seemed for a time as if the courts would have to pass upon the weighty questions involved. In the end temperate counsel suggested a compromise, which tho not al- together satisfactory to either side, seemed to relieve the ten- sion, and make it possible for each of the contending parties to withdraw more or less gracefully from the stern struggle "for a principle." Just what it was all about perhaps few of those most actively involved in the controversy could state at this time, but the writer of this has special reason to be familiar with the facts. An examination of the record of the contest would 238 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY show that the essay was the occasion of all the trouble. On the night of the contest it was announced that the judges had decided in favor of the Wrightonian essayist, and as every- body agreed that there was little to choose between the two essays, the decision would never have been questioned had not one of the two judges from Bloomington the editor of the Pantagraph disclosed to a Philadelphian on the day follow- ing the contest his wonderment over the announcement. On the way home from the contest these two judges had discussed the numbers, and it developed that both of them had selected the Philadelphian essayist as the winner. As this meant two votes out of three, neither judge could understand why the an- nouncement had indicated a victory for the Wrightonian rep- resentative. It finally dawned upon the puzzled editor that he had made a curious blunder. The name of the Philadelphian essayist was Wright, a name which of course served also as the commonly used brief designation of the Wrightonian So- ciety. The judge explained his error by stating that in pre- sumably voting for Miss Wright, he had unwittingly recorded the higher grade against the abbreviation "Wright,"' which gave the decision to Miss W.'s opponent. As soon as these statements became public the Philadelphia leaders bestirred themselves. It was decided that with the signed statement of the editor-judge formally presented to the two societies, de- mand should be made upon the joint secretary to correct the records. The Wrightonians on the other hand declared that a decision once made could not be changed by any subsequent statement of a judge. "Stare decisis" was their slogan. Not a few of them were inclined to look upon the editor's statement as an afterthought. The Philadelphian leaders decided that if the joint secretary would incorporate the corrected decision in the book that would settle the matter as no one else had any authority to enter the records. Just about this time a new joint secretary a Wrightonian was elected, and this complicated matters. The Philadelphians claiming that the record of the contest should be made only by the joint secretary in office at the time of the contest insisted that the book should remain in the custody of the former joint secretary who was a Phila- delphian until all the records of her "term of service were duly entered. To both sides the possession of the joint records was the all important thing. By a clever ruse the Phila- delphian secretary was induced to give the books into the hands of "the enemy." The Wrightonians had thus won a strong tactical point. Then it was that the Philadelphians be- IIvUNOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 239 gan to consult lawyers as to possible means of getting posses- sion again of the "stolen records." Matters were getting exciting, rumors of the appearance of constables, and the strong probability of lawsuits began to fill the air. Mutual agreement, however, avoided these possibilities, and argument and counsel between the opposing leaders took up much time for many weeks. The school was divided into two hostile camps. The winter term went by with no cessation of the frenzied discussion. Peaceful souls there were in both socie- ties who sought to have the matter dropped, but the leaders were in deadly earnest and would listen to no gentle counsel. If they were to meet together now a hearty laugh all round would greet any mention of the "great fight." Not so then! Grim determination was in the heart of each stern disputant and the fight "for a principle" must go on until it was settled right. But even the most unyielding combatant in time grows weary of the fray. As the months past by the suggestion of a compromise met more friendly reception, and before the close of the spring term it was formally and finally agreed that the point given for the essay should count for the Wrightoni- ans, but that there should be entered on the records a state- ment which should make it clear that one of the two judges whose votes had been given to the Wrightonian essayist had really intended to vote for the Philadelphian representative but had blundered in recording his marks. Fortunately the outcome of the contest was unaffected by the compromise as the Philadelphians tho losing the contest were still the winners by 4 to 3. BY ONE WHO KNOWS The Spaulding Glue Incident Back in 1859 in the Normal School were two young men about twenty-one, both members of Section G. They were fairly good students and as fairly full of mischief, particu- larly the prime factors in this episode. One of them, Ed Pike, now E. M. Pike of Chenoa, 111., was a young athlete possessed of a bunch or tuft of coarse bristly hair protruding from his chin, which he was vainly nursing into whiskers, to the envy of his classmate, J. D. Straight. One day Straight, noticing Pike's prospective whiskers with envious favor, asked him what he did to make them grow so 240 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY luxuriantly, and wished he could have some like them. Pike, thinking him in jest, replied that he used Spaulding's glue and that it would draw out the whiskers of anyone who applied it faithfully. Straight, however, was not inclined to take this as a joke ; if there was any virtue in it he might as well have the benefit of it as Pike. He inquired of Pike the cost, where obtained, mode of application, length of treatment, possible results, etc., regarding all of which Pike gave his professional advice. Matters were now assuming serious shape. Pike could scent fun ahead but had to have help to carry it out, so he went to Frank Philbrook, also of Section G, with whom Straight was rooming in Bloomington, and to him unfolded the situation and asked cooperation. Philbrook had an hon- 'est, open, clean countenance, that carried innocent conviction along sober lines, but mirthfulness lurked behind it all- While plans were being formulated at Straight's room, Straight came in and the question of treatment incidentally came up. Philbrook said he believed it would draw his whiskers out too and talked of trying it. Straight said, "I will commence any time I can get the glue, but I haven't the price" (which was 2$c a bottle). Pike offered to loan the quarter so that Straight might start at once and get ahead of Philbrook. The ?lue was obtained. Philbrook was appointed physician-in-chief as well as trained nurse. Bedtime came. Pike stayed with Philbrook and Straight to give instructions and to see that no mistake was made in application. The glue was poured on a cloth and bound tightly around Straight's chin, up the sides of his face, and tied on top of his head, in which condition he retired to his downy couch, "perchance to dream." Pike and Philbrook also retired, but down the back stairs, out into an alley where they leaned against a pile of cord wood and laughed themselves to exhaustion. Then Pike went home and Philbrook went back as a bed fellow of Straight. Pike suggested to Philbrook that he could not control himself from laughter and would better go home with him, but a second thought showed this would not do, for Straight migh become suspicious. Next morning Pike and Philbrook came together but Straight was absent from the meeting. A report from the medical chief was that his patient had passed a restless night, by reason of the glue drying on his face, which caused a severe itching (which the physician-in-chief declared was a good ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL, UNIVERSITY. 241 omen), that the glue was really doing the business, and that at this point the treatment was perfectly satisfactory to the pa- tient. The treatment continued for six consecutive nights, but on the last night Straight demurred as he said he had heard and seen things which appeared to him to prove that the whole thing was a humbug. Pike told him if he didn't want his whiskers drawn out to quit, just when the remedy was doing the most good. Straight replied, "That is just what it is do- ing, drawing out the few I have." This was a fact. He was asked what he had seen or heard that made him doubtful- He had seen the girls pass their hands over their faces with a downward stroke over their chins, a la Washington Irving Ves- celius' "Shyrographic curves," when they passed Pike in the schoolroom and elsewhere. He had also received anonymous letters thru the Normal postoffice saying that Pike's remedy was no good. Also from the same source had come a package of dough made from bread crumbs which was said to be much better than Pike's remedy at half the cost and annoyance. In short, he just believed that Philbrook and Pike were playing him for a sucker. Pike resorted to what little biblical lore he had obtained at Sunday school and among the most persuasive arguments presented was one to the effect that "he that en- dureth to the end" shall have beautiful, glossy, luxuriant whiskers. With such forceful argument as this, Straight re- luctantly consented to another application of the remedy, altho at this particular period his faith in Pike and Philbrook was mixed with doubt. Next day being Saturday, the whole scheme was exposed and was the earnest talk of the town. All wore broad smiles even Straight himself who was in a brown study how to get even with his tormentors. It had been caught up by the fac- ulty. Professor Potter, under whom Pike, Philbrook, and Straight were being led thru the mazes of Mulligan's gram- mar was seen to wear a sardonic smile, Professor Hewett neg- lected to locate the mouth of the Amazon river correctly, Pro- fessor Moore forgot to give the full quota of zeroes in the algebra class, Professor Sewell with more than special em- phasis said "I declare," and even sedate President Hovey standing in a reflective attitude with his arms folded on the platform overlooking the school, was contemplating the Spaulding glue case in place of attending to legitimate busi- ness as he should have done. 242 SEMI-CENTENNIAL, HISTORY At this time the whole school was on Straight's side for he had told them the whole thing truthfully and in detail. He took the whole thing philosophically, but was not above seek- ing revenge on his tormentors. A meeting of the students was called in which the seniors took the initiative, and the consensus of opinion was that Pike and Philbrook should be arrested and tried for malpractice under the statute of fraud. The judge was Ed Waite; the prosecuting attorney was Jehu Little, the Philadelphian orator; Pike's attorney was Aaron Gove, the Wrightonian orator. A jury of twelve young ladies was empaneled and sworn in by His Honor, Judge Waite. Court was opened in due form by the sheriff who, I think, was Gunn. Pike and Philbrook were brought in and placed on trial. The first witness was Straight, who gave the whole pro- ceeding minutely and truthfully and in doing so he had re- markable control of himself, so much that he did not crack a smile during all his testimony but the audience, which was large, took an hilarious view of the situation and, notwithstand- ing the warnings from the judge and the stentorian tones of the sheriff, it was anything but silence in that court. Straight's testimony was reenforced by expert witnesses tending to show that Spaulding's glue was not for the purpose of growing whiskers, but for the mending of old chairs, etc- Pike went on the stand in his own defense admitting all that Straight had said, also exonerating Philbrook from any criminal intent, as he was acting under and by advice of Pike. This move made a witness for the defense, a thing which helped Pike as Philbrook was the only one cognizant of the facts in the case. Philbrook, with his open, honest counte- nance, sober as a deacon, but mischief oozing thru every pore, was duly sworn by His Honor, Judge Waite, to tell as much truth as he knew, and took the stand. Pike's defense was that his remedy was all he claimed for it, and showed by Philbrook the results of each treatment. He began with a little fuzz of hair of downy nature which was the status of the whiskers of his patient at the start. First night's application, a little growth, and so on thru all the week's treatment, hairs of greater length after each application, and culminating in the result of the last treatment as shown by a hair some four feet long from a horse's tail, which evi- dence uncontradicted should have set Pike free. But not so. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty as alleged. ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. 243 Judge Waite ordered the prisoner to stand up and the sen- tence, that he should be fined a bushel of Baldwin apples and stand committed till the fine was fully paid, was duly past up- on Pike. Pike had anticipated conviction, as public sentiment was against him, and had the apples previously provided in an ad- joining room. He, in custody of the officers of the court, pro- duced the apples and passed them thru the audience, and he was discharged, thus ending, except in memory, one of the most humorous incidents of the good old Normal days. I might add that Pike and Straight were bosom friends ever after, made so, perhaps, by reason of this episode. They were classmates in school, went into the army in the same com- pany and mess, Co. A, 33d Infy., were in the same fight close together when Straight had his arm shot off and received other wounds. When they were discharged Straight was elected justice of the peace, and later county clerk and then re-elected and Pike was elected sheriff of McLean county and they had their offices together for several years. This same loyal com- radeship continued between them all their lives. One of our faculty, Ira Moore, was at times sarcastic and given to a testiness of temper that was not pleasant. One day as we returned from class-room, just after the professor had very plainly manifested some of his displeasure toward us, Miss Sallie M. Dunn said: "Dies irae; we know what we knew before; If you look for more irae, You'll get it from Ira Moore." The Illinois Horticultural Association visited the Normal early in the winter of 1858 and at a reception given the board of directors, one of their number replying to a toast, closed a brilliant piece of word painting extolling the school by saying : "I will propose a counter toast: 'Here is to the students of the Normal University, the Evergreens of our educational system.' ' President Hovey, with that readiness which was character- istic of him, rose and said: "With this amendment, I join 244 SEMI-CENTENNIAL HISTORY you : 'The Normal Students ! Ever blooming, bright and fair, tho not evergreen!' '' Late in the winter term of 1858 at the Assembly or Chapel room of the old Major's Hall, one evening there was a fare- well meeting of the faculty, students, and friends. We had a little program of songs, speeches, ice cream, etc. L. H. Hite was sitting in a little group of which Miss Lizzie Mitchell was one. Volunteer toasts were in order. One of our teachers of that time was Chauncy Nye. He and Hite were admirers of Miss Mitchell. There was a gentle, friendly rivalry. Miss Mitchell's ability and ambition as a student were well known. Nye arose and proposed a toast : "Miss Mitchell, a young lady talented and deserving; may she some day gain the height (Hite) of her ambition." The sentiment was cheered, with much laughter, and Hite was loudly called to reply, which he did, saying, "Miss Mitchell's friends will all join the senti- ment, and believe that height will ever be nigh (Nye)." With this came more applause, and quick as a flash, Dr. Edward R. Roe jumped to his feet and pointing toward the last speaker, said with that energetic emphasis of his : "That is what / call the height (Hite) of repartee!" This shot of the good old doctor closed, with much merriment, what was considered a magnificent, triple-double entendre. PART THREE PREFACE This part contains separate lists of the alumni of the Normal and High School Departments of the Illinois State Normal University, of the regular Faculty, of the extra members of the Faculty for the Summer School, and of the Board of Education of the State of Illinois, each list separately indexed. After the name of each alumnus we have endeavored to state occupa- tion and present address, teaching record, and such other facts as may be of special interest. If the occupation is housekeeping it is usually not stated. The members of the faculty are listed in the order of their appoint- ment. An effort was made to secure a brief sketch of the subsequent career of each together with present occupation and address. The names in these lists are indexed by number. Members of the State Board of Education are listed in the order of appointment with the address and occupation at that time. The present address has been added when known. This work is far from complete and doubtless contains many errors as it has been done, not by the regular office force, but by the coopera- tion of a dozen or more persons. Sufficient time was not allowed for the final editing and arranging of the material A great many names in the following pages are designated as not hav- ing been heard from within a year. After having made every possible effort and exhausted all our resources we are unable to trace many of the alumni. As many as ten letters have been written in the effort to locate one person. It should be stated that in a number of cases we have reason to believe that we have correct addresses but we are unable to give com- plete biographical sketches because of failure to receive replies to our in- quiries. Every person who looks thru these pages and who can furnish any of the addresses now unknown to us is urged to send in the informa- tion. We wish also to have our attention called to any corrections and to any additional facts relating to any person named herein that should appear in future editions. We wish especially to state the particular branches or grade of school taught. We now have facilities for recording and preserving such information.
