. HE ORACLE intends to represent the stu ) d nt's idea of Colby li e, to set forth bis �. _ · vr n ws upon tbe workmg of tbe college � ·, .,,. m echanism . It does not claim to be an · • e xp onent of his lite rary abilities, - this we ;::.Q think is amply ac com plish ed by tbe Echo. It aims, as far as it can consistent ly with tbe laws of the University, to gi•e our friends some slight con ception of our opinion of tbe doings up on tbe campus. If anytbing bas occurred during tbe year that to us seems in con istent with the right, we claim the same privilege of free speech concerning it that would be granted were w� ot her than students. Colby, as a University, is not perfect. either are. its students. Deeds are done that were better Yet it i far f rom our purpose to offer any in left uodone. sult to the Government of tbe Coll ege, to make unfavorable compari ons between the various departments, or in any way to injure tbe college. Our design is rather to improve it as much as we can, to draw the attention of the friends of the college to those defects, which, in our opinion, should

be remedied, as well as to notice the excellencies which we already find in its management. The course of the edito rs, at the best, is beset by many difficulties.

HE beginning of another decade finds Colby in advance of its position ten years ago. Then it was recovering from tbe effects of the war, and laying a strong foundation for subsequent ..._, r. enlargement. During this period it progress . . : bas been slow but steady. New bu1ldmgs have . been erected, new departments of study opened, ad: ditional professor added to the old corps1 and other indication given tbat the institution is in possession of tbe elements of growth and usefulness. And yet tbe even tenor of this prosperity is such that it does not furnish items of e pecial interest. The past year bas been even more mo notonously dull than some of its predecessors. Few events of note have occurred of which we, as uurlergraduates, keeping in mind tbe principles of college government, could becomingly treat. The last entering class was somewhat smaller than the two preceding. But tbe number of students connected with tbe college i as great as the present arrangement can well aecommoc'late. The same efficient officers give instruction now as when the class of '80 first became connected with tlle in titution. During the past year the c;urriculum bas not been altered . The Seniors have pursued with especial advantage the studies of Psychology and Ethics. In these recitation mere memorizing i not admitted. A clear con ception of the principles involveu is required, and these principles are freely and thoroughly discussed. The various

:r:

�

-7-

•• schemes of philosophy are compared with each other, their errors refuted, and a correct ystem evolved. . Rhetoric and Logic have been studied with diligence. Dry text-books are even rendered acceptable when upple mented b clear and succinct explanations. The litt;le time tbe college devotes to the ciences be comes more and more profitable. Much pains L taken in this department to render the course agreeable, and what is more, beneficial. A large majority of those who enter upon these studies would prefer an extension rather than a cur tailment of this course. The department of Mathematics becomes more intere t ing to mathematical minded underclassmen and an ever increasing terror to lazy students. During the past sea on Olney's text-books have been exchanged for Totlhunter's much to the chagrin of '83, it must be confessed. The Trustees, to meet the growing need of the tim , recently established a Professorship of Elocution. But nothing further was done save the bare mentioning of the department in tbe �atalogne. This is not as it hould be. Instruction in speaking must now be given by pr fe� ors, who, in addition to their regular services, are unju tly re quired to take upon themselves the extra and arduous labor of drilling the several classes in elocution. But thi mo t essential requi ite for young men fitting for puulic life can not thus be successfully tagged to the skirts of another and distinct department. The short-sighted policy that refu es properly to endow a Chair of Elocution cannot fail to injure the college. And we would urge the Trustee to make every effort to secure the services of a professional tea her in this department. The usual courses of study have been pursued in the various other departments with the usual succe s. Some changes, perhaps, might have rendered the work more ben eficial. Though in the main the reward bas been commen surate with the labor. The college library each year becomes more erviceable. The dry, musty, semi-theological tomes, that once in solitude collected the dust upon their expansive backs, bave been -

J !

�---� supplemented by more modern works upon all topics of interest to the college student. 'l'be number of olumes taken out each tel'm speaks well for tbe amount of readiug done, and evinces a constantly increasing interest in gen eral literature. Yet there is, beyond doubt, room in Colby foL· a higher literary culture, for a more liberal study of literature for its own sake. During the past year especial attention bas been given to athletic sports. With a base-ball ground, and a gymna sium among the best in the State, there is no reason why Colby should not make a better show in this direction than hitherto. During June last was held tbe first annual Field Day. Want of room upon tbe campus compelled the managers to bold the exercises, except the base-ball matches, in �e agricultural park. Under favoring con ditions of the weather the contests were all that could be desired. The class of 'Sl, through M:r. Worcester, carried off more prizes than any other. The trials of skill and strength showed that vigor bad not entirely deserted the e classic ball . Tbe occasion demand an annual repetition . Tbe base-ball team bas been in the main succe sful. A new uniform was purchased during the season, the grounds hanged and improved. In the winter the nine was quite unfortunate in losing three of it best men . But under tbe present efficient management it bids fair to snrpa s its pre viou effortn. In all its undertakings the nine ba.ve tbe yrnpathy of the entire college; for the time ha come when athletic are recognized as a regular pnrt even of Colby life. Foot-ball bas not received tbe attent.ion it de erve , and no sy tern bas yet been employed for its reg ulation. A to tbe martial spirit, it seews to have de erted these balls. 'rbe Colby Rifles appear to be among the thiugs that were. Tbe Reading Room bas been in the main well conducted. The offic r were hampered by tbe debt contracted by pre ceding manager , but have done tbe best in their power to supply the needed reading matter. The DoarJman Mi ionary ' ciety bas maint.ained its usual standing. Its influence upon its members is undoubt-

-�

edly strong and beneficial, but upon the non-professing ele ment it hold is not so firm as could be desired. The- Delta Kappa Epsilon Zeta P i, Sigma Kappa, Delta Up Hon Fraternities bave, throughout tbe year, cultivateu amicable relations with eacb otber, amid unimpeued pro perity. Invidious calumnie have fortunately cea ed to be in vogue. Friendly rivalry best keep alive college and society spirit, and drives away enniti. The Glee Club bas practiced quite regular! throughout tbe year, and bas given very acceptable oncerts. The Weber Quartette bas contributed till further to rai e th musical standard, and has the honor of being among tbe few col1ege associations tbat girn entertainments of value throughout the tate. The usual programme of Commencement wa rendered more iutcresting last July by the Ivy Day exercise of ' o, and the Ola s Day of '79. The increased facilities, for the accommodation of 'i i tors in town cannot fail to give a large attendance at the coming Com m encement. All who have read" GETTING ON LL' THE WORLD," will make every effort to bear tbe oration on Tuesday evening . The Ivy will be planted by the Juniors, 'SO will have no Ola s Day; but the week, a u ual, will be crowded with instructive and intere ting exerci 'fhe Fal e Orders at the la t Fre hrnan Priz Heauing, lacking the wit and literary merit of their immediate prede cessors, were rightly received with general disapprobation. College spirit and cla pride are legitimate and prai�e wortby, and might well be stronger. But wh n they descend to low ribaldry and rnlgar assault, it i time that they were abated as unpopular nuisances. The class of ' 2, desiring to re-introduce. a regular col lege custom, began preparation for a cremation. But out of respect to the wishes of the Faculty tbe de igu was abandoned. So '77 is still the la, t cla s that ha bad uch an exercise. It is with especial pleasure that we have not,lccu the in creasing care bestowed upon the campu,. Broken limb have been trimmed from tbe tree , and even the trees -10-

.... themselves, when interforiug with the comfort of the stu dents, have been removed. And there are even intimations tbat the turf will be kept trimmed during the coming sea son. The old Commons House has been moved from its too close proximity to Coburn Hall to the rear of the base ball ground . There in its new position it ha been so thoroughly renovated, that one can scarcely recognize in its altered proportions the un igbtly bulk that formerly dis graced the campus. And yet it may be questioned, even now, whether the thing would not better have been removed from the grounds. There is great need, as every prceed ing ORA LE bas urged, that these grounds should be care fully graded, and kept free from all unseemly encumbrances. Tbe pre ent arrangement of recitations requires all rehearsals direct1y aner a meal. At such a time a speaker cannot, of course, do him elf ju tice. Hurried by bis walk to town be is forced to go through the form of rehearsal while quite unfitted for the exercise. We do not ourselves quite see bow a change can be effected. The student will still very likely be set to solve the difficult problem of show ing bow the clige tive and oratorical processes can both be carried on ucc ssfuliy at the same time. During acb winter since we have been connected with this institution the insufficient beating of the chapel bas been among the noticeable realities of college life. Hardly i there a morning in cold weather, when it would be com fortable or even politic to remain there over a half-hour. The meagre beating contrivances for Memorial Hall fail entirely to produce an adequate degree of warmth; and often au examination is followed by a severe cold, and the health of the students is endangered. 'rbe curriculum of the college remains much the same a it was twenty years ago. There is the same generous allowance of Greek and Latin, the same pittance of modern languages. And what i quite as unsatisfactory to the tudent , the Greek and Latin are scattered here and there throughout the whole course. Just when one of these dead languages bas been omitted long enough for a thick rind of rust to accumulate on his mental apparatus, the -11-

A M poor among my neighbor-, And the rich look down on me, Even friend-, who long have known me, Pity me my poverty. But, although for me too quickly Winter follows after Fall, Though my food is coar·e and scanty, I am richer than they all. They, perchance, the ealthiest of them, Build them ships or buy them land, Rear them hou es; I have castles, Kingdoms, fleets at my command. They have households, I have nations; 'l'hey have gold in boarded piles, I ha1e diamond mountain range , Lakes of pearl that trctch for miles;

Ruby river·, skies of sapphire, Jasper meadows, emerald trees; And uncounted band of yeomen Placed in keeping over these.

Have they all been stranded, sunken, Lured to death by iren cbarui ? Have the gho tly, gliding icebergs Clutched and crashed them in their arms f Tempest-tost or fog-bewildered Whatsoever fate was theit\, Nothing know I, and, unknowing, Still have hope amid my fears; Often fancying at morning, As I gaze upon the sea, That the white ails seen afar off, .Are my hips come back to me; Often fancying at evening, When the- light 8trikes broad and low, That within the eastern hadows, I behold my banners blow . .A.nd, though often faint with watching, Sick with fears that will not rest, SLill I launch and send my vessels On their unreturning que t; Longing, hoping, praying, trusting, Through my bitterne8s of pain, That they all, a grand Armada, One day will come back from Spain; And, returning, bear m e with them, Whither all my trea ares are, In the Jand of youth eternal, Underneath the morning star.

O p e n i n g Ode.

In the fables we're told Of the stroog man of old, Who bad twelve labors seu t h i m to do ; .Aud l i ke h i m of elcl, We are also com pel led, T welve labors, twelve terms, to go th rough. But, labors l i ke these, The renowned. Herc u l es Never yet on b i s b o ulders bad laid ; U n der b u rdens l i k e ours, His redoubtable power Would a ratber poor figure have p l ayed . H e bad to go forth 'l'o the ends of tbe earth, To accompl i h bis dari ng em prise ; B n t we b ave done more, For we've bad to expl ore, Not merely the earth, but the skies . N i n e labors are done ; u d , before goi n g o n To t h e three m ore tllat wai t us here, We've met h ere to- day, To look back o n our way, And m i n gl e thanksgi vin g and cheer. -

There stood outside the chapel door

A l i ttle wai tinO' cro w d ,

F r o m which t h e r e rose u pon the air

Fierce growls a o cl tllreat'niDgs loud . And Sam stood back and chu ckled,

And " lowed dar'd be some fun,

Kase dose young men o utside de dor

Am de class ob eigllty-one."

But, h a rk

! for

n o w abroad is heard

The tra m p of mighty feet,

As of a troop of caval ry

A-charging down the street. A n d now the en try full is filled

With a h ustl ing, motley crew,

WI.Jose eyeballs start, and hearts loud beat,

As the Sopbies meet th eir view.

f B ut down the steps they trembl ing come, the ground t hey gain,

And a

A cbap i

seen among them

Wbo bears a big, big cane . *

Who fir t

l et slip the dogs of war " ¥

O r laid aside h i s gown � Who tore the fir t apparel � But a vei l of d ust draws dowu .

A tumult wild a n d terrible ;

Three Profs have fainted dead ,

And Sam bas disappeared complete, For camphor gone, 'tis said. Behold ! the curtain rises. The scene bas changed again, And a Soph waves from a window The fragments of a cane.

While from the gathered throng below Loud shoutings rise ane w , Three mighty cheers for '81 , Three groans for '82. And the Prex smiled on the Sophomores ( As Prexes often (Y) do) " B ut 'twas a very wicked thing," aid weeping eighty-two. " Nay, nay, my li ttle child," quoth he, " It was a famous victory."
