HE OR.A.CLE is published annually. Whether it is abso lutely necessary that it should be published is quite another question, and one which we do not propose to discuss. We simply repeat, the OR.A.CLE is pub

lished annually. The Editors do not feel under any obligation to state " the aim of the OR.A.CLE . " It is generally understood that the pub licatLon represents student life from the student's standpoint ; but we are not responsible for what people understand. It is thought by some that the OR.A.CLE is published for the sole purpose of informing our friends who " pu t us through col lege," that their money has been - expended ; but this hardly seems the proper thing for the students to do. By others, it is thought that the ORACLE'S only aim is to joke the Faculty ; but this is a matter of grief to the Editors, and is simply an illustration of the old saying, " No idea is too strange to find a place in men's thoughts." We are under obligation, however, to notice the prayer of the last Board of Editors. ( See last OR.A.CLE. ) We shi;ill not state positively whether the prayer bas been answered or not. We are in doubt.

ome think that it bas not-especially when

the object of the petition is remembered, " that the OR.A.CLE may be filled." Others think that the prayer bas been gra ciously answered, and that on the 29th day of June, 1881, " th e -

spirit of deviltry was Jet loose," and, with sheepskin i n hand, left the campus and has not been seen since. The majority incline to the affirmative of the question, but we will not commit ourselves. In publishing the ORACLE it is not the intention of the Editors to aim a cowardly blow toward the government of the college, nor to attack the character of any student.

We claim

the right of making personal remarks-to crack a joke at another's expense · but we do not claim the right to abuse either college officer, student, or citizen.

We believe that the

ORACLE should not be simply a sewer through which may flow all the abuse and scurrility which attaches itself to college life. If a pure moral tone cannot be regarded in the publication, then the sooner i t is suppressed the better. I f w e must publish either riba,Jdry or run the risk of having tbe publication called a " flat thing any how," we cho

e t he latter.

The grateful acknowledgments of the Editors are tendered to Messrs. Farr, True, and Wills for valuable contributions both b y pen and pencil.

Their sincere thanks are also tendered to

Messrs. Dennison and FuTber for design and execution of the cuts.

college year has been beset with difficulties and ac-

cidents. / We could c Professor fessor of Natural

We commenced the year under difficulties. not exactly decide what to do with the new of History; while at tbe same time our ProPhilosophy and Astronomy was tossing on

the bosom of the boundless deep. Think of our situation ! An untried professor on our hands and a tried professor returning from a tour on the continent. We shall always look back upon those days as the most critical of our college life; for, we submit the question-was there ever before in the history of the college a time when a new professor took bis seat while a colleague of his was from Europe " a skipping"' In all other cases either the new pro fessor was installed while there was no professor abroad, or there was no professor abroad when the new professor was installed. Under these circumstances j ust what to do we knew not.

There was no sectiou i;ior article in the " Laws of the

University " that covered the case. We can see now no reason why anarchy might not have reigned ; but time passed on and the new professor commenced his work, the absent professor reached his native land, and again all was ready. · At the begiuning of the year we congratulated the college and ourselves on the return of Pre ident Robins to his post of duty and re ponsibility, and the hearty applause with which he was greeted by the students at the first chapel exercise, bore evidence that his absence had been regretted and that his pres ence was appreciated. Our hope in this re pect soon ended in disappointment; at the beginning of the second term the presi dent was obliged, on account of failing health, to give u p the administrative work of the college, and not content to remain i n his position without rendering the service which the position demands, he promptly and finally resigned. 'fhis brought again the responsibility and burdens of administration upon Professor Smith, who, by his experience and warm interest in

affairs of the ollege is well qualified to perform the duties. During the year Professor Lyford took bis long-contemplated European tour. He returned to his work with renewed vigor. His ripe scholarship and long experience render his department a pleasure to the students.

The other departments of instruction have been conducted, as usual, with ability ; and i t is but j u st to say that, in our j u dgment i t would be difficult to find a more able or harder worked Faculty of Instruction than our own. The department of C hemi try and Natural History demands more than passing notice. Without doubt, when Coburn Hall was erected, it was thought that its accommodations were suf ficient to meet the demands of the college for a long time yet to come. But since then the classes have greatly increased i n n umber, a n d more room and greater facilities are needed-de manded i f the University is to afford the instruction in this de partment w�ich it promi es in the Catalogue.

The laboratory

and mineralogical department have been made and added by Professor Elder, and tbi renders more room and appliances for work imperative. In this case other electives, which certainly are demanded of the college, could be added, such as Chemi cal Analysis and Botany. We may be pardoned i f w e quote from the last Catalogue, u n der the bead of Natural ciences: " The age in which w e live is conspicuous for the marvelous advances which have been made in the Natural ciences. It i no longer a question that the disciplinary value of training in this department, insuring quickness and accuracy of observation and habits of careful re search, i n addition to store of knowledge e sential as an equip ment for the exigencies of the current life of the time, is not the least important of the results gained by the student." We have n o desire to criticise this language; indeed, it is j ust what we would say (beg pardon), and any student has a right to con clude that be may avail him elf of the instruction offered in this department, under the catalogued electives. But how is it in fact? Professor E l der is obliged to limit the number of students who shall elect his department. He is honest enough to the college, to the student, and to himself not t o al low a greater number to elect his department than be can furnish with room, materials, and appliances for work . This department bas received liberal acknowledgment. from the Trustees in the past, and i t is due to this very fact that they have made this provision and that the department is alive to the B

-9 -

t demands of the time, that so many students are anxious to avail themselves of the instruction given.

Now we are not growling,

but we know that the Catalogue offers spleudid inducements. We know that the instruction given in this department i s such as awakens enthusiasm in the students. We know that only a comparatively small number can elect the department on account of the limited resources.

We also know that more is demanded

of Professor Elder on the part of the students than one man can possibly perform . Therefore will not the Trustees make a larger and permanent appropriation for this department T Will they not consider the advisability of providing an assistant, who is so much needed? Will not some friend of the college before next Commencement place $ 1 000 in the band of Professor Elder to expend in bis department as he thinks best T There is another department which deserves special notice. During the year a new feature in the course of instruction bas been provided. Lectures on Art h ave been given by Professor Warren.

The period covered is tba.t of the High Renais ance.

These lectures have been illustrated by heliotypes and other representations of the more important paintiDgs of the old masÂ ters. .Although the lectures were intended for the ophomores, such bas been the popularity of the course that the SeDiors and JuDiors have very generally attended them . It is a matter for which the college is to be congratulated that at last lectures on .Art have found a place iD the course of instruction. Professor Warren's description of famous paintings, and a.ncient statues, of objects of interest in Rome,. is in the highe t degree i nterestÂ ing, and any student who will avail himself of this instruction

will have a good preparation for a more critical and exhaustive study of .Art. Professor Warren has already raised his own deÂ partment of instruction, that of Mathematics, to a popular place. Let us hope that he will be willing to fou nd and raise another.

The interest manifested on the part of the students authorize us to respectfully ask the Trustees and friends of the college to come to our aid. A little zeal mfLnifested j ust now will lay the foundatioD of an Art Gallery at Colby. Will not some alumDus give us a cast of the .Apollo Belvedere T

We are told that a cast

can be purchased for $75.00. Will not some, every, class wllich has been graduated for tile past twenty years, send some fitting

present for . tllis purpose T There are needs in some of the other departmeuts, and that not of apparatus alone, but-" discretion is the better part of valor."

b�

Tho regret of tho Soofor Class at tho loss of Presldeo t Ro instruction in Ethics was, in a great measure, mitigated by the appearance of Prof. .Andrews. Prof. .Andrews is a born teacher,

scllolarly, im partial, lucid, enthusiastic, genial, thoroughly pre pared, aud a thorough believer in llis special department. He comes to us from Newtou Theological Seminary by the generous permission of the Trnstees of that institution . A graduate of Brown in the class of '70 and of Newton Theological Institution in '74, be was called to the Presidency of Dennisou University and tllcnce to the position at Newton, wbicb be now occupies. We are very grateful to all whose authority or influence brought him to us i n our exigency, and grateful to him that he consented to come. At the beginn ing of the year Professor S mall entered upon bis labors in tbe department of History. Professor Small, as suming the respousibility of one of the most profound depart ments of instruction, bas succeeded in rendering it both profita ble and popular ; not sim ply historical facts have been learned, but the different theories and hypotheses of historical develop ment have been presented and discussed. Topics bearing npon different phases of history h ave been assigned to different mem bers of the class and thus a n e w in terest has been awakened in

the student.

Professor

mall has been untiring in bis efforts to

please and instruct the students. H e succeeded very early i n t h e course in t h e a r t o f giving his class enough to d o . The i m perative n e e d i n t h i s department is a suitable room for t h e dis play of historical charts and maps. S u c h a room m ust be se cured at once if the instruction is to continue first - class. The library which i s not surpassed by any in the State, is still in n eed of a permanent fund and a continuance of generous Let any one attempt to donations from private individuals. prepare himself on any special topic and be will soon find out the weak part. Dr. Magoon has already given two hundred vol umes, and is still sending m ore. The late ex-President Champ lin remembered the library i n his will,-which, by the way, is the first bequest e>er made directly to the library. At last, thank H eaven ! or the Trustees, or somebody else, We are n o longer we have a generous share of electives! bound down to the treadmill gri n d of Mathematics, Latin, and Greek, but are allowed, in the Junior and Senior Years, the pri,ilege of electing from several studies .

e. We have a Gyrnoasiorn, bot,-go to,-where is the in structor' The students have engaged temporarily the services of Mr. John C. Doldt of the Portland Turoverein. This is a hint to the ----- , those intimate friends of the college whose names, arranged under three classes, appear elsewhere in our book.

Base-ball has received its share of attention and, during the year, we have wou three out of five matched games. The stu dents very generally help support the .Association ; an interest is also manifested by the officers of the college i n this direction. The Echo, our college paper, bas maintained its high posi tion among like periodicals. It is well worthy of the hearty support of every al umnus. Field Day is as yet an experiment with us. Last year good records were made and the entertainment was worth the money and time spent, but we want a more varied programme, and bet ter accommodations at the park. I vy Day was successful. The presentation addresses and his tory were free from the usual objectionable language. It was remarked by visitors that these addresses were the first of an unobjectionable character which had been given for years. The Greek-letter societies, from Alpha to Omega, are i n a flourishing condition. Society lines in Colby are growing beau tifully less. Whoever joins a secret or non-secret society (they are practically the same ) finds that· there are as good men in another as in his own society.

We pity the man who thinks

that his own society contains all the best men i n college. pity the man whose associates are all i n his own society.

The Boardman Missionary Society has enjoyed a year of prosperity. Since the resignation of Dr. Robins, Dr. Smith and other college officers have conducted the services of the society. The E xamining Committee ! Ab, the Examining Com mittee ! All the churches scattered throughout Pontus, Gala tia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia sent up their pastors to ex amine (') the boys. How wise they "looked! But i f we are good students we shall soon become pastors and have a place on the Examining Board.

The beautiful Philistine, light of foot Responsive to the well-known summons, ran To greet the visitor with joy, and led Hirn i n to her abode. On the cushions Where the harp strings quivered still beneath her Light elastic touch, be stretched his weary Limbs, recumbent for repose.

The mighty

JAMES TIFT CHAMPLIN, D.D., LLD.

On March 15, at his home in Portland, after a prolonged illÂ

ness, occurred the death of Rev. Dr. Champlin, so long and honÂ orably connected with the college as Professor, President, and Trustee. As students we can not, of course, speak of bim from personal acquaintance, his relations to the college as its bead having ceased in 1873.

But we cau bear witness to tlrn value of

bis service to our Alma Mater fr m evidence daily before our eyes, in the two noble buildings, Coburn Hall and Memorial Hall.

These may fitly be called bis monument, because, as we are informed, when he entered upon his high office there were but the three buildings and these in dilapidated condition, now known as Chaplin Hall, Champlin Hal l, and South College. By bis skill, energy, and unwearied perseverance he brought wealthy men to bis aid, repaired Chaplin Hall and Champlin Hall, and erected the two structures of which we have spoken and which are tbe chief ornaments of the campus. In addition to this servÂ ice he secured for the treasury a cash encfowment of somewhat over $200,000, thus rendering possible the success of recent years. What be did for the students who were under him they m ust testify. I t is fo r us to render in this manner our tribute of honor to one whose name will Jive as long as the institution, which he served so nobly, shall endure. It is not fitting that we should enter here into details of his wo, r k, these will doubtless appear in a memorial volume, for which we, in common with other friends of the college, wait.

Ex-President H. E. Robins, D.D.

E PRESENT with this number of the ORACLE au ex cellent portrait of ex-President H . E. Robins, D.D . , whose recent resignation bas, a s the Trustees of the University in a public letter well say, " deprived the institution of one whose achievements h ave placed him among our most successful educators." The portrait is an artotype by Bierstadt, from a negative by Sarony. A brief sketch of bis life and work, both antecedent to and during bis administra tion as President of the College, will be of interest. Dr. Robins was born September 30, 1827, i n the city of Hart ford, Conn. He fitted for college in the school s of bis na tive city and at the Connecticut Literary Institute, where he was graduated in 1846. At great cost of personal feeling be sacrificed bis college course to enter in the book business with bis father. H e continued successfully engaged i n business in various relations until 1 858. During this period be bad much leisure time and employed i t i n the earnest pursui t of private studies, especially philosophy and theology. .At this time be passed tbtougb a severe struggle with skepticism. While en gaged in business he enjoyed the advantages of a residence abroad. Dr. Robins yielded at length to a long resisted conviction of duty, and i n 1858 entered upon a course of special preparation for the Christian ministry at the Newton Theological Institution. By his success in previous business life be was enabled to pur sue his studies in this direction at his own cost. He '"l"as gradu ated with the class of '6l. After bis graduation, from consid erations of health, lrn declined to assume a full pastorate, but accepted a call to act as colleague with Rev.Henry Jackson , D.D., pastor of the Central Baptist Church, Newport, R. I. He was ordained Dec. 26, 1861, and at the death of Dr. Jackson became pastor of the church. In May, 1867, be received and accepted a call to the pasto rate of the First Baptist Cburcb in Rochester, N. Y. In 1868 the University of Rochester conferred upon him the degree of

-18-

Doctor of Divinity. He was also elected a trustee of Rochester ( Theological 'eminary and a member of the executive committee. In 1872-3 he was President of the New York Baptist Conven tion.

In the summer of 1 72 he made a second extended tour In July, 1873, he was inaugurated President of Colby

abroad.

University and contin ued i n office until February 14, 1882, at which time impaired health obliged him to resign. In 1875 Gov. Dingley appointed President Robins a member of the commission to recommend amendments to the constitu tion of the State of Maine.

I n 1880 he was elected an honorary

member of the Rhode Island Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. We have briefly sketched a fragmentary outline of the life and work of ex-President Robins · this of itself speaks of his work and ability which have placed him i n these positions of responsibility and trust which be has so ably filled. the public recognition of the services

After

of Dr. Robins by the

Trustees of the University and others, a word from the students will not be out of place. Emerson says, ' I cannot ever hear of personal vigor of any kind, great power of performance, w ith out fresh resolution." If we have been taught correctly, the demand of the time is for men who are educated all along the line. Dr. Robins, by bis successful business career, before entering public life be came an experienced financier. The able manner i n which he has managed the fina ncial affairs of the University is a proof of this. His public m inistry was commenced· at one of the most eventful periods of our national history ; economic and political as well as religious questions were being pressed for solution, and the call was for ministers as well as for other men who took broad views of all affairs pertaining to life.

Dr. Robins bad so

closely identified himself with the great denominational interests of the Baptists in the tate of New York that, when invited to become President of Colby, he was urged publicly and privately not to accept the invitation on the ground that the denomina tional interests would suffer if he should leave the State. Rea lizing that the college was a point of central influence upon the education of New England, he accepted the invitation. We may be allowed to quote from a letter addressed to President Robins soon after he came to Waterville: "Put the boys through on the bottom line of a thoroughly sound intellectual and religious culture. Of men of this stamp we have none too many ; we bav• quite

enough of professional invalids. - 19 -

hurch and State need men of substance and power ; men of

whole-souled devotion and of unflinching firmness in the advo

cacy of the rights of both God and man." That President Rob ins always acted on this advice is acknowledged on all sides. We recently received a letter from one of the Trustees, a man who is a warm friend of the college and bas bad a large and varied experience with men. He says : " President Robins brought to the University a lofty Christian ideal of what a col lege ought to be, and with remarkable energy and steadiness of purpose he has striven to realize that ideal. A terrible earnest ness, tempered with more than an average measure of wisdom, has characterized his administration. It is given to only here and there one to im press their own individuality upon an insti tution as be bas im pressed bis individuality upon Colby Univer sity."

But i t is of bis power in the class-room that we would

speak more particularly. Prof. .Andrews, i u bis admi rable ad dress on 11 The Moral Lack in the Higher Education of To-day," before the Delta Upsilon Fraternity, said : ''There is instruction that merely imparts information, and there is instruction that awakens, arouses, sets on fire, burns up, and recreates the pupil. The one conceives the pupil as a receptacle, and its motto is, ' Fill him up ' ; the other conceives him as a living, immortal, rational being, and its motto is, 'Build him up.'" While these words are descriptive of Prof. .Audr.ews's own instruction they are pre eminently true of that given by Dr. Robins. Impartial in giv ing the opinions of other men, at the same time be is very de cided in bis own ; in a word he believes and speaks. As to the results of his administration one of the Trustees says : 11 No sooner bad be taken the helm than it was felt that a vigorous band was at the wheel. Students began to come from other States and new energy was infused into all the movements." During the administration of Dr. Robins, outh College has been renovated ; a new gymnasium, one of the finest in the State, bas been built and furnished with apparatus ; the chair of mathe matics filled ; the chair of history established and filled ; and an instructor in elocution secured. The curriculum has been en larged and enriched with lectures on ethics, physiology, and hygiene, lectures on art, etc.

By a comparison of the cata

logues we find that the present Senior Class bas more than three times the number of the Senior Class which was in college when Dr. Robins was inaugurated. In speaking of Dr. Cbamplin's administration, Dr. Robins said, ''He rendered possible wba.t ever success I have been able to attain." I n spea.king of retir-

-20-

l�

om the work of his office, he said ' " I go all the more g knowing that I leave the college in able hands. Happy is that man who comes under the instruction of Dr. Pepper . "

�

The New President of Colby. U T as we are going to press we are informed that Dr. Pepper announces his acceptance of the Presidency of the University.

The Daily Advertiser of Boston speaks of Dr. Pepner's election in such terms as these: ' The friends of sound learn ing and Cbri tian morality will be gratified with the appoint ment of the Rev. Dr. G . D . B. Pepper as President of Colby Uni versity, in place of the retiring President, Rev. Dr. Robins. Dr. Pepper has earned an honorable distinction as a preacher and teacher since bis graduation a,t Amherst College in 1 857, and at Newton Theological I n titution i n 1 60. After a successful pastorate of several years at Waterville, Me., he was elected Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Newton in 1 65.

In l 68

he removed to Penn ylvani. a as Professor of Christian Theology in the Crozer Tileological SeminaTy at CI:iester. In all these po sitions Dr. Pepper has woo the reputa.t ion of a clear and vigor ous thinker, a profound scholar, a wise and able counselor, and a man of a n eminently genial and Christian spirit. Be is i n the prime of manhood, being now forty-nine, and bis election to the Presidency of the University is hailed with unanimous satisfac tion by the friends of the Institution."

HE story of the search for the Holy Grail we call a fable, a fable the pursuit of which made men stronger in pur pose, purer in life. Very like this medireval story is the study of art and the work of the artist.

Art, in a

more clear and strict sense than any other study, is the pursuit of the ideal. The artist moves with men, h e li•es in the world of fancy. Sometimes, though the moments are few and the times rare, is brought to men the idea that they are working for some thing higher, but every moment to the artist, every touch of pencil or blow of hammer and chi el brings up anew the vision. The unseen p1ize is what h e strives for, is what b e hopes to gain, first for its own sake, and second that he may surpass all who went before and leave a model to all who may come after. All men are artists. Intuitively is art felt when it may not be understood, for the rules of art are moral law implanted by God in the heart of Nature independent of man's whim or will. Originating in man's pirit, art finds its expression in search for the beautiful, and the results of this seeking leaves us no room to doubt but that the artist does as much to advance the pres ent condition and future pro pects of man as does the poet or preacher or statesman. For, see, this art was what preserved the old spirit in the men of Atben till they for ook its teach

ings, and the same art transmitted the traditions and doc trines of the church and converted the Pagan . Naturally we associate beauty with v i rtue and life, and falsehood with in and death.

The Great Architect decreed that his tabernacle among

men hould be a beautiful work, and has ever taught in Nature's life, by leaf and flower, earth and sky, what is good and true for His children to follow. -

22 -

To understand the connection and influence of art upon the greatest change in thought recorded in hi tory, we should know something of its origin and progr s .

Its beginnings are very

obscure · all our authentic knowledge of it dates from the time of Greece. How much the Greeks r cei>ed from early dyna ties and countries will ne>er b know n ; even if it were much, they added enough of originality to it to make it their own. Their life entered into it, th ir fancy

eized u pon it, and their

gay natural view of things entirely concealed their art inheri tance. Theirs was the art of natllre · so came its perfectness. The Greek repre ented his gods and himself ; his only mistake was in thinking himself equal to his gods. To this day, in nat ural beauty, the old Greek statues stand alone, for the rea on tbat since then spiritual beauty ha

entered the art domain.

Rarely could the thought of the ' ' unknown God ' flit throucrh the mind of the pleasure - loving Greek, yet sometimes it came. How conscious the Greek was of hims lf and his wondrou power his philosophy plainly show . 'Twas but the master minds who thought of a power beyond them elves who should teach them truth and wisdom. Greek art declined because it had reached its consummation, and the first endence of the downward move ment is the introduction of en uaJity. The Laocoon tells the story, a statue mane by rule when method bad succeeded inspiration. The Theseus of Phidias which recalls the men of Marathon and alamis and the coutests of the Olympiad, was no longer, in hi glory, courage and pride of race, in his pleasure and lo>e of ease ; he was gone, and the human body became more to the successors of the great master than the human soul. From which might be drawn a m o t significant le son. From the triangle of the Greek we come to the circle of the Roman who borrowed largely in art as in other thing from his Athenian subj ect.

There would be neither profit nor interest in

speaking of the many schools of art which followed in rapid succession through the centuries.

The Byzantine as affo rding

the best illustration of the. influence of ascetici m upon Chri tian ity, and the Lombard a introducing the pirit of freedom alone deserve m ention. We gi\e a moment's attention to Gothic art because of its great influence O\er the religious struggle of the six teenth century.

Here was introduced for the first time the idea

of spirituality which, from that time to the present, true art has never lost.

Gothic art cannot for a moment compare with the

Greek in the matter of beauty, still we would all choose it in preference, and why '

Because here the soul of man, inspired - 23 -

by Christianity, casts away its earth-binding fetters, and at tempts by tbe expression of the face to depict the spirit that dwells within. The attempt fails, of course, but its failure is more successful than the greatest success in former years. Men tried again and again to introduce the spirit into the picture, but never were satisfied. The introduction of paintings, typical of scenes and events in the Old and New Testament, dates from an early period. The beginning was i n the question of the divinity of the Mother of our Lord. After the decision by the full synod of the church of tbe Divine Maternity, the adherents of the faith sought in every way to prove their orthodoxy, and countless images of the Vir gin rose on every hand. The crucifix came into use in the seventh century and furnished a new obj ect for love and veneration. From these came representations of countless other scenes, characters, and incidents in Holy Writ, and as the ardor for the faith increase d the number of paintings and statues grew. These worked a still greater influence and purpose when infused with the northern energy of the Lombards. The fire and passion of the South was now blended with tbe genius and faucy of the North, and religious truths were im parted by church and figure and pencil more than ever. We name all three departm e nts of art, for as a writer of some fame has said : " The sleeping arts are like the sleeping Eumenides, and

call to each other, ' €rzip', €rz ipz za! llu T�YIJe €yw at ll< ' ; ' up, wake thou her as I wake thee. ' " The work of teacbiug by pict ures went on ; every k night bad his illumi nated psalter in w hich he found pictures to explain the events about which be could not read, and every device tbat color or design might furnish was given there to makt:J clear the events and fix them in the memory. The poor man bad the church frescoes and mosaics,

with now and then an acted play, which gave him i n turn an acquai n t ance with the main facts contained in the acred text. Well , here we have men's religious education ; first their in terest had been awakened by the disc us ion of questions relat ing to the

irgin and other matters of church doctrine, and then

with zeal they went to work to see what they could learn about

the doctrines and facts in question.

How tbe sculpture and

paintings of the times supplied this knowledge we h av seen. Little by l ittle and very slowly wa the knowledge thu gained ; jt lay germinating ready to bear fruit, and when a leader was found to call it into life, up from every quarter the blades of thought started and grew. The sea of thought was rising, and - 24 -

papal decree was more impotent before it than was the king's command before the incoming tide. Art was not alone in this work · very materially was it aided by events often spoken of in history.

A new breath from above

had touched the earth a new voice spoke to the souls of men. The Revival of Roman Law, followed by the rise of the

cholas

tic Philosophy and the New Learning, trained all heart

and

minds. Art came, and, a we have seen, aided by its impulse the impetus already given, and the opening of the sixteenth century saw men and thing ready.

The best had been kept until now,

the highest part of m an's naturn bad been the la t to respond to the pres ure, the love of right and good rose once more to the surface, and the Reformation came.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '82. " Here is the moral or all human tales.

the past: firat freedom, then glory."

'Tis but the same rehearsal ot

E ARE Seniors. The rows of seats which separate the Freshmen and Seniors in the chapel, and which, on the first morning of our entrance there, seemed to our bewildered gaze to occupy so wide a space, have been each in turn occupied by us. The learned profes sors, gravely seated at the northern end of the chapel, who seemed to our astonished vision to embody everything great, good, and mysterious, have lost for ns their greatness, good ness, b ut none of their mystery. They are, if anything, en veloped in an unfathomable cloud of mystery. But we digress. Our object in this article is to write a his tory of the Class of '82, but this is not an easy thing to do. ( N o poetry intended.) To trace o u r career i n full , a n d t o describe the work and circumstances of each term, would require a vol ume. We can only glance at some of the tilings which have bee� of the most interest to ourselves. Our entrance i n to college, like that of every otller class, of course mar k ed im " im portant era in the history of this institu tion ." But modesty compels us to refrain. As Freshmen we num bered sixty - two, and i t would, according to a ti me-honored cus tom of class historians, be becoming for us to add t ll at we were tbe best and the smartest class that eve r e u tered tllese college walls. But we will not make any sucb rnmark, but will take the te�ti mony on this subject of one of our profes·ors, who has several ti mes remarked to us, ' ' Your class entered a great deal of lum ber." We do not for a m oment suppose, however, Ile intended to call any of us blockheads. We soon began to get accustomed to college ways. Sopho more wrath lost its terror for us, Junior ease i ts charm, while . Senior dignity failed to inspire us with its former awe. We dipped eagerly into knO\Yledge ; that is, we submitted with good grace to the usual grind of Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, and spent our Saturdays in " plugging" over Greek and Latin prose

ith a zeal worthy of a better cause. The Freshman Year was with one or two slight exceptions, a. quiet one. We were pre paring ourselves for labors to come, getting accustomed to the

ways of the Faculty and other points which are of great benefit to the average Sophomore. With tbe begi n ning of tbe second year a feeling of general tiredness struck the class, to such an extent that satisfactory work in Latin could not be accomplished, e ven with all the " surrep titious aid " we availed ourselves of.

We were mildly reruinded

by the professor that it might be well to try the experiment of getting our lesson once. All this may have been due to the fact that field work in surveying and " pin-hole " plotting took up a large part of our time, but this is a conjecture merely.

We com

menced the study o f Whately, " of blessed memory.''

Our

studies as the year advanced increased in variety and interest.

We bad Anglo- axon and English Literature.

fifteen lines of Chaucer in the original. searches in the department of Physics.

We read

We began our re The work i n thi s de

partment is greatly simplified by means of experiments and lucid descriptions, and although an experiment is occasionally successful, owing to the apparatus being in order, still the principle remains the same. During the year one of our number, who was much beloved by all , was taken from n s by the hand of death, and it was with heartfelt sorrow that we followed bis body from the chapel. The year closed under auspicious circumstances. We had a glorious exit to Augusta, and recollections of the " good time," the inspiration, and ' ' four doors north " will remain dear to all. Our Junior Year, although "e found at the beginning that we had lost some of our " lumber, ' passed pleasantly away. Chemistry, Physiology, and Geology, though by no means easy, were made especially interesting by the untiring efforts of the professor, in whose department the only fault is that too little time is allowed to it, especially in laboratory work. French, which was com m enced in the Sophomore Year, was continued with the usual enthusiasm. In Light, some of the experiments seemed to be optical illusions.

Our final grind i n

Greek finished with the year ; Greek tragedy w a s t h e variety, and as CEdipus was to be acted at Cambridge during the term the professor wisely thought the CEdipus to be the proper trag edy for us to read, on account of the great interest likely to be excited by the above-mentioned fact of its being acted.

The

professor was correct i n his hypothesis, and the class evinced

- 85-

� �l

�--

such an interest that they not only read the tragedy in the original Greek but also careful ly perused the best English versions. And to raise the interest to the final pitch, the Professor of Latin sacrificed his class-room work for a few days 'and went .to Cambridge to see it played. An instructor in elocution having been provided at the open ing of the year, by the wisdom of the powers controlling this University, there was mingled with the regular work some very pleasant diversion, in the shape of standing on one foot and then on the other, and in pounding with the knuckles on the chapel seats. But marked improvement in the public exhibitions was noticed by the friends of the college, as the result of all this. Near the end of the term our labors i n Light culminated in an examination which was preeminently sui generis. The pro fessor was about to sail for foreign lands, and this may account for the character of the paper. On this somewhat ev·entful day occurred an episode in our history. A terrible com bi nation to cut Greek ( the same highly interesting tragedy aforesaid ) , a request for a cut having been refused, was entered into, the class no doubt feeling exhausted from the Light examination, and not being able to work their mind u p to such a pitch as was neces sary for a recitation in Greek. But owing to the fact that the professor appeared upon the campus and made the remark, " I have known a whole class to be suspended for a less offense," all but seven refractory members went in as usual. A s a pen alty for this terrible proceeding, ten demerits each were awarded to the seven, they being too tired to draw up and sign lengthy papers.

At the final examinations of the year we found our

selves arranged as a class, in regular order (i. e., side by side) , in t h e Greek examination. T h e re nlt w a good, th e paper were excellent, and were characterized by a marked similarity on some points. But in Geology, owin g to the fastidiou nes of the professor, the order of seats was changed slightly, and there was more variety in the answers. Our Ivy Day was a success even to the shower. During the vacation which followed we were pained to learn of the death of one of our number, who, by his fine scholarly ability and gentlemanly bearing, bad won a high place in our esteem . Another year has nearly passed, and, as we remarked at the

outset, we are Seniors.

We were gratified at the first term to

learn in commencing our stuuies in the new department of his tory, which was then established, that " the bloody civil wars -

36 -

{

were en ded." Our work in this department deserves notice. While the course is somewhat l imited, on account of the short time a11owed it1 still an excellent basis for future historical study can be laid. The department well supplies a long-felt want of the students. But a new pleasure was in store for us.

Our professor re

turned from across the water and w e commenced the study of As tronomy. On the first morning we received an illustrated lecture on ti.le stability of the soiar system. But in the apparatus used, the sun " having been misplaced,'' our imagination, which is greatly developed by this study, was tasked to its utmost to conceive of the solar system, rn inu the sun .

But after the sun

was discovered and placed i n its prope1· position everytb i ug went on with matchless smoothness.

Our work in Psychology,

under the excellent i nstruction of the President, was one of the most pleasant studies of the course, and we all felt a sense of great loss in being deprived of bis teaching in ti.le subsequent work of bis department.

In Ethics we are enjoyin g the pleas

ant instruction of Profe sor Andrews of Kewton, and every other week loafing Seniors are a rare sight. Pomeroy's Consti tutional History i

undergoing critical examination by the class. ' And the great question as to whether the United States was, are, were, is1 or ever will be au independent, sovereign, national government, or a conglomeration of independent sovereign indi vidual states or nations, and if so wby so, and bow much 'I' is

being w a rmly discussed, and no doubt will be settled in accord ance with the great principles of truth. · 1 Upon the whole the record of 2 bas been one to be proud of. In A thletics w e have ever taken a leading place. We have always been well represented on the college nine and have never failed to secure a good sbare of the prizes on Field Day. T wo medals1 attesting our prowess on a rope1 have been given to commemorate our victories in two rope pull .

O f the scholar

ship of the class I will not speak at length, but it is presumed that some will take first parts and some wil l not.

However 1 there is no doubt but what the Faculty hat will work with its

accustomed impartiality. Such, in brief, have been the salient points in our history. As a class we must soon separate, and the pleasant relations which have for four years existed between us, must be severed. Yet., though widely separated, we can never forget the good times of our college days. " And if we do meet again, why, we shall smile." - 87 -

When from Freshmen's gloomy days, We came to be right jolly Soph s ; When we, no longer pluggi n g slaves, Rad lost our reverence for Profs, Eight merry bo.vs. through kindredness of soul, By chance, one eve, were gathered ronnd a bowl : And, as they sipped, w i th tboui,rhts a flowing free, A union formerl and called it Del t a P h i . Their purpo e i n t h i s world o f care, Is just the same to ernry one : ecure m uch honor please the fair, Hoodwi n k the Profs and have some fun. And yet, so great, so good, from tarnishes so free, Approving smi les they h ave from the grave Faculty ; Wbere'er they go a fine i m pression make ; And all u n i te to say, " Tbe.v really tak e the cake." Dame Nature and the God of hance Combi ned to do what'er they could, The fame of each one to en hance And make b i ru great as well as good. Two, versed so well in Greek and Latin lore, Of Olney's rules bad such a wondrous store, In their big beads of w isdom such a mass, That they, in ra n k . outwi tted al l their class. Another-teacher of the you th , A man of practical ideas, A leader of bis class forsooth . H is counsei valued for b i s years. In future time bis purpose to control The m inds of men ;-an editor i n soul. The reading world will tremble at bi guns Well charged " with poi n ts, an titheses, and puns." T wo singers sweet this n u mber grace, Like whom but few will 'er be found. The tenor soft, the mighty base Produce a harmony profound. One, versed so well in laws of perfect song, A leader is, and wields the light baton. The other, too, sustain a noble part, His cunnin g work bespeaks an artist's heart. Behold ! Two men Qf fair renow n , Whose polished speech and jolly w i t -

56 -

Are known full well throughout this town (Which both of them are loth to quit) . This very book doth show the work of one, I n whom there dwells a fountain of pure fun. The other writes, in clear and fluent way, The doings of the college day by day. Another-schooled i n dire war, The doer of some several " Acts," Defender of the liquor law, Recorder of peculiar facts. Yet quenches oft his pugilistic fire To strike, with peaceful hand the tuneful lyre. When music and the " Dogs of War " are still, In several ways, be plies the inky quill. All Hail ! All Hail ! this band of eight, Whose merit, frankly all confess, For whom the future has a fate That's marked by nothing save success. The banner class bas "'iven them aright Its offices, well suited to their might. The Faculty regard them as their pets, Aud on each b ead, a victor's laurel sets. All Hail again the merry eight ! To whom no sorrow doth belong, Who happy are, and laugh at fate, WbDe sing they this their drinking song. We live for the honors and pleasures of life ; We live in the sunshine and not in the gloo m ; W e shun all contention, save chivalric strife ; Our hearts have for sorrow not one bit of room. In defense of the fair our arrn-or i s bright ; Our conquests are many, our hearts warm and true ; As Killgbts of the Border, for honor we'll fight ; For high honor's praise, we'd have nothing in lieu. Let's not be sad under moral persuasion, Let's live while we live, and laugh while we may ; " Go to,"-let's resist dark sorrow's invasion, â&#x20AC;˘Gainst hearts that repel it with deepest dismay. Then fill up the bumpers, who cares fo r the odds I From thought of the morrow let us be free. Fling care to the Devil ; give thanks to the Gods That we're happy : and may we ever so be.

A VACATION DITTY. 'Twas i n the first week of the year 'Eighty-two, A fel low from " Bates " came traveling through, With a bag in bis band and a book i n his bag ( What more never mind lest my story should lag) , Who straight to the

Doctor " betook h i m .

That gentleman,· finding all e l s e unavailing, And feeling his patience and strength were fast failing, At last writes a letter in which he commends 'em, The m an and bis book, to the public ; then sends him Away with a smile.

Thus

he shook him.

But the man with t h e book on a double - quick goes To each of the Profs, and unto each shows The said note.

So each writes,' " Please refer

To above for opinion in which I concur," And attaches bis name to t he letter . .A n d now the chap hastens bis steps toward the

Bricks,"

To bring to a climax his dastardly tricks. So ni ce i n bis ways and so shrewd in his action That even bis impudence seems an attraction. For a book-agent what could be better � Not one of the boys was so wild that be wanted To b e· a book-agent, yet many were haunted With long-standing debts and fresh bills coming i n , A n d h e r e seemed a chance to rake in t h e tin,N ow tin was the thing they all needed. A canvassing district to each one be proffered, A liberal commission o n books sold be offered, And, as to the work,- why, •twas mere recreation

��

To pass away time in the coming vacation. What wonder his story was heeded !

The n am e and the aim of the work, as be thought, went Far to commend it, 'twas called " Our Deportment," With fullest instructions bow one should behave

From the hour of one's birth till one entered the grave. A work mu0b desired by both sexes. They started out singly, they started i n pairs, All hoping the shekels would shortly be theirs. What varied ad ventures they severally met with, What various laudlords they then ran i n debt with , Do not ask, lest my verse some one vexes. Perhaps on this subj ect you'll gain some instruction By drawing an ea y, quite easy, i n duction From the opposite page, whose eloquent pi�tures Should not be interpreted, really, as strictures Upon any man s reputation. An edge-tool manufacturer's son , whose ambition Was rather abased by his chosen profession, But who, after al l, wished to 1.Jring i n the tithes,

' Went down Thomaston way just to sell a few scythes," o he said to a friend at the station. One fellow, you see, " got enough " in a style Which is likely to last him for some little while.

He went i n an integer, came out a torso,

Rejoicing he was not en les petits ?1wrceaux1 And willing to change his vocation. ·

But enough of this sort !

l'v.e j ust room to put i n

A word fo r t h e m a n , whose original si n , I n writing a letter o f recommendation, Brought woe and disaster this winter vacation , To persons whose names I won't mention. O Doctor ! if ever in future should come

A man and a bag and a book to your home,

Buy a book if you want it yourself, but be prudent,

Don't give any letters to any poor student, Let him go to the-house of detention !

�OLUMB IA IICYCLES. T o RIDE, o r not to ride, that i s the question : Whether it is nobler in the man, to swrer

The pains and bothers of pedestrian travel, Or to take wheel against the scourge of horses,

H I S modern vehicle bas brought health and vigor to many a pale· recom mendation from physicians, lawyers, clergymen, artists, merchants, editors and literary men, and from men i n every avocation i n life. Rev. Marcus D . Buell, giving to the public press an account of a •a.cation trip of several hundred miles on bi Bicycle, refers to it as a " conveyance as romantic as the Boston mail coach of our grandfathers, and as novel as Sieman's electric car." Many find their only exercise i n a morning run or evening spin on the Bicycle ; or, perhaps, an occa ional holiday excur�ion. To them the country within a radius of fifty miles around them becomes an El Dora.do. But for the Summer Vacation, by the Seashore or at the Mountains, around the Lakes or down the Valleys-wherever one may choose to go tbe Bicycle bears the wbeelman, free as a bird and jolly as a boatman, through a.II the beauties and diversities of natural scenery. It is the L11nd Yacht, the Canoe of tbe Overland Highways. THE COLUM BIA BICYCLES have ea.rued the foremost popularity of any in the world. Thousands of them are already i n use in this coun try, and their perfect "Wheels 8pin over the roads of every country to which modern commerce extends.

PLANTI NG THE IVY. I vy Ode.

There's a meaning fondly dwelling In the Ivy's sombre green, Tenderly 1tis ever telling Of the glories that have been ; On heroic walls it twi neth ,

Haunts of fame, romance, or grief,

And a golden memory l i neth Every fluttering, storied leaf. So with loving hands we plant thee, Our memorial Ivy-vine ;

DUNHAM.

Long to live may heaven grant thee, And a hoary age be thine. Take, oh plant, our kindliest blessing, Cover all from plinth to eaves ; Every rough-hewn stone caressing With thy dark and lustrous leaves. Then the thought of faces vanished Shall w i t h i n us fondly burn , When , from college paths long banished, Homesick feet perchance return. Then, with something of affection, Other hearts for us may stir, When we're brought to recollection By our sweet remembrancer. History of Class .

at jokes be is really a " terse one." II.

We have a young mn,n from Castine, Wbo is the smartest that ever was seen ; He is big on the sing, And most anything, Aud at

We have a young ma.n in o ur college Who got sick of acquiring knowledge ; He started out

West

To feather bis nest,

Where he learned what a m u l e eats for forage. IV.

We have a young man from the Hub Who is heavy on learning and grub ; And it's bis wonted boast,

By the Great Cresar's Ghost,

I'm the smartest young man from the Hub." v.

We have a young fellow who rooms on the F l at, Tb is young man's initials very plainly spell

His locals are funny ( Y ) , And his words

so like honey,

They win every maiden with whom be i:n ay chat.

VI. We have a young man who's an artist, I n all matters of taste he's the sharpest.

He sings a deep bass, And dances w i t h grace, And's the most observed man at the parties.

VII. We hiwe a young Freshman who is quite labdydab, And be cuts a big swel l as b e puffs bis cigar. He owns a fine gun , And thi nks it is fun To smoke and to shoot and swing on the bar.

VIII. We have a white mau from the Old Bay State, 'Twould be bard to find for this fellow a mate. He don't like the town And he's going to Brown, Where he'l l get the G. B. sure as fate. IX.

We have a young man from the West, yYho thinks that his jokes are the best ; But the rest of us clon't.

Th e machine used for the allove clfusion is of the same kind as that used in t he local department of lhe Echo. I L is not, however, the ame machine. The local machine is still in good order, as we sh all um.loubLedly find.
