The progressive spirit that has been SO
| much in evidence among the students OF
the state university, again manifested
itself in the last edition of the Gopher
the annual volume issued to-day by the
Junior class. The 1903 Gopher is greatly
the superior of any book yet. issued by
Minnesota university students and in
point of artistic and literary excellence
! is the equal of the annual OF any insti-
tuition in the land. Printed In excellent
style and compiled with taste and care,
1t is volume of which the editors may
we'll feel proud. s,f
The volume Is bound in vellum with a
green ooze leather back, while the
illuminated title is embossed upon the
cover In the class colors. The general
outward appearance Of the book is such as
| would cause one to expect good things
| within and upon closer examination one
will not be disappointed, for within the
beautiful covers are many things to ad-
mire and amuse. -
The frontispiece is an excellent pen pic
| ture of the late Governor ]. S. Pillsbury,
| founder of the institution. This Is FOL
lowed by well-wrltten, Illuminated arti-
Gle In memory of Mr.. Pillsbury, in which
| is given short review of his life and
many feeling tributes paid. s
Perhaps the most unique feature OF the
| entire volume is the class roster, which is
complete with the names and photographs
of the 400 members Of the class. Tnese
pictures take up 100 pages of the volume
| ocular biography of the original.
| Another Interesting and amusing TEA
! ture is the Alphabet of Celebrities" In
| these few pages members OF the faculty
are taken up under their, respective
initials and short grind perpetrated on
each Of them. Here are two OF them:
| T is for Jones' r.. -E a..
| Whose melodious tones -,........
Make the rooters feel happy clear into their
! e-s bones. .-...'.. ~ ~.
He looks very sad,
| And pretends to be bad, -4..-..
But take him all in, he's nice little lad
is for Pattee, rather Portly Of Person,
Prosperous, Placid, Polite.
He Poundeth and Preacheth and Proveth and
| Pumpeth, =" ,.-
Making lawyers by day and by night -.
Several amusing events that occurred
within the last school year are told,
| either in prose or verse and In such a
manner as to make them even more anus
! ing than they were in real life. Among
these. is the painting Of the fence by four
| freshmen who were later expelled IRON
| the institution. 49,.
The art work Of the volume is one Of the
| features that will attract great deal OF
attention. Most of the work was done by
~. MacMartin and is deserving Of a high
commendation. Pictures representing the
senior girl, the junior girl, the sophomore
cuted and show Mr.. Martin to be an artist
of ability both in originating and execut-
ing. His work adds a great deal to the
real merit of the volume and Is one of its
distinctive characteristics. Fred D. Cal
boun's signature on fifteen Of the society
and chapter headings augurs well for the
| Gopher Of '04. =. w. - =.
Considerable space is devoted to ath-
letics and in this connection some good
stories are told. Especially is this, true Of
| the football game between Iowa and Min
nesota last year, which is told as an old
Indian legend Of a battle between two
tribes known as the Ugh Ogh-Aghs and the
skigh- Ugh-Maghs i.
Many pages of the volume are devoted
to the fraternities, and a complete roster
| Of each one is given, along with picture
Of the members. This department alone
takes up 1923 pages of the box oand vii
prove an interesting feature to members
of the university. ~.
The volume contains 420 pages, nearly
100 more than. any previous edition Of thu
book. -- .-..-.:.- . .
