Dr. Cyrus Nutt, who was Indiana Asbury’s first professor, served as acting president for two years, after which he became president of the State University at Bloomington. On the eve of the Civil War. the contrast between students’ curricular activities then was far greater classroom activities of that time and the present. Sports and amusements were frowned on if not actuaily banned by the Methodist preachers and laymen. Strict religious observance was demanded. Many students boarded themselves and lived on from 50 to 75 cents a week. The principal extracurricular activities then were debates, essays and orations, and two literary socities, the Platonian Society and the Philological Society. In 1340s, however, the secret fraternity agitation began. A Beta Theta Pi was established in 1845. Greek letter fraternities grew rapidly thereafter. First campus publication was put out by the literary societies, and in 1852 Asbury Notes appeared, published by the faculty. un ” n

What Happens

Modern life often pushes us to the limit. Nerves tighten — digestion is handicapped. At such times especially, smoking Camels aids digestion. Camels help to ease tension and speed up the flow of digestive fluids — alkaline digestive fluids— that play so vital a part in the way you enjoy food and in the way food agrees with you. Camels are milder—an important point with steady smokers. Camels are gentle to your throat.
