One of the immediate causes of the change was the with drawal of a certain faction of the students from the support of the ORA.CLE.
Although the disaffected party have formerly
contributed liberally to the maintenance of the college publica tion, they will this year, we understand, put out a work of their That the college has not grown to that extent whereby

a second publication is demanded need not be said; and, we believe, the enterprise i s discountenanced by the Alumni gen erally. Whether or not our esteemed contemporary shall survive (for we verily believe but one work of this kind in the
niversity
can live) must depen d upon party spirit and public patronage. But party spirit u nduly
timulated, is ever to be deprecated;
and we tru t that hereafter good sense may prevail and that harmony and cooperation in publi bing the ORA LE may result. For i t seems but fair to assert that the ORACLE, havi ng the prestige of a name and representing more than three-fourths of the college mu t contin u e to be

The attention of the students is respectfully ca1led to our list of

Bureau of Education. Th e Editors would acknowledge their obligations to Messrs. Dennison of'82, Richard on of' 3, and Frentz of
'86
for valuable
assistance in the way of designing and executing cuts.
For pen
contributions we are also indebted to Messrs. Koopman of '80, Hinds A. C.
of '83, Fuller and Barton of '85.
Finally if any one, after reading this volume considers him self persona.Uy assailed let him remember that we do not criti cise men, b ut measures.

Notwithstanding all these difficulties

the college, for the past year has not been barren or uupro gre sive.
At
its commencement we had fresh courage and
buoyant hopes.
O ur college was no longer -without a head ·
the period of uncertainty and longing was past.
Unto u s
deeply sensible of o u r loss, there w a s s e n t a m a n w h o turne d our attention from the past to the future
and led us to antici
pate a contin uation of the progress whicll had characterized the past few years.
The experience of the past year has uot dimin
ished our confidence in the w i dom of the Trustee in placing over us a man
whose reputation would bring us honor and
whose ripe scholar hip and executive capacity would lead us to success.
In Dr. Pepper w e find not only a strong and Yigorous
i ntellect aud au extensi�e fund of knowledge and practical wisdom w ith a breadth of mental grasp and analytical power which goes to the bottom of every subject rids it of all and presents it in c leare t light ympathy which make spare

no pains to relieve their perplexities and promote their
welfare i n the class-room and out.
Having been now thor
oughly i n itiated by tbe present ..., e nior class and having gai ned an accurate acquaintance with the needs and interests of the college, we feel confident that he will be found equal and more than equal to the respon ibilities of bis position. When the year opened we also found other new things on the c a rn pn

Fearing tllat the students had too many

that they had overdrawn upon the student's time, they endeav ored to remedy the fault by taking from him his "T. D ." and Lilliard cues, thinking that i f he devoted to study the time employed upon these he would come out square,-and perhaps B

reached that period in o u r existence as a class seems to demand that a brief resume of the
principal events of our course be made accessible to the p ub lic.
We are well aware that we lay ourselves open t o the
charge of egotism, not that there is any such ingredient in our general make-up, but because a plai n , straightforward narration of events and exploits, which are, to say the least, extraordinary in themselves, m ust necessarily appear to tend in that direction. We dislike to speak of ourselves, as any one who is acquainted with our beautifully modest and retiring disposition will testify ; but that posterity may not be deprived of the valuable precepts taught and inculcated by the events of our course, we cheerfully sacrifice our personal feelings to the good of future classes. We are Seniors.
The anticipated glories of four years of
college life have successively dawned upon our vision, and each in turn bas lost much of its poetic coloring and gained much
in
stern reality upon closer inspection. The year of 1879 witnessed our advent upon the campus, a band of Freshmen numbering forty-two.
We possessed in a
mild, subdued degree that undisputed prerogative of all Fresh men-greenness.
The color, however, was not fast and came
out in the wash.
We began Latin , Greek, and Geometry with
a zeal worthy of the great possibilities wrapped up in our re spective per ons, and if, according to the grammar, irnonia is rare in the Latin, it was not so in the recitations. one mind, a sort of intellectual

could not deny when he found the same m istakes upon each and every paper througho u t the class in Latin Prose Composition. We immediately instituted ourselves a standing commi ttee of the whole to look down upon Instituters and Yaggers, and when

we appeared upon the campus with canes they seemed appro priate to such a degree that even the Sophomores forgot to demur. There was a rope-pull during our first term i n college, but beyond the bare fact that i t took place, with ourselves at one end of the rope, w e have forgotten all about it. With our Sophomore year came more serious responsibilities. A motley horde of Freshmen was turned in upon us, over whom we were expected to exert a parental influence and train up in the way they should go.
Right nobly did we fulfill the task
imposed upon us, and we point with pride to those same men to-day and ask, Who could have done better with the material given '
That tlrn Faculty ,.nd friends of the college are pro
foundly grateful to us, goes wjthout saying. E ngaged in the honorable discharge of such duties, we gradu ally approached that dividing line which separates an upper from a lower classman.
We were about to become Juniors, and
upon this auspicious occasion it was unanimously voted by the class to have
an exit.
Bangor was fixed upon as the place
best suited to the proclivities of the class and the demands of the occasion, and tllitber we went. House the

Four of the
class were made happy by the bestowal of the " Junior Parts,' while the rest of us consoled ourselves with the thought that we should have received one if there bad been but four members in the class.
The "Junior Ease' of report and the
Junior
Work" of our experience are things which we, thus far have failed to reconcile. As Seniors we bade farewell to physics and entered upon the study o f metaphysics.

lJ31o TRACE out the career of 84 in full , and to describe all -� · her glorious achievements would require more space than ,
we are allowed.
We can only speak briefly of some of the
things which h a ve been of most interest to us.
As Freshmen
we were characterized by an abundance of cheek-a charac teristic which
was decidedly obnoxious to the Sophomores.
They sought to suppre s it, but all their efforts were futile though they served to make the year a very l i vely and i nterestil1g one. From the first we have demonstrated our unity in every contest, a n d each has but served to unite u
closer together.
Our first year was full of work yet there was so much pleas ure and excitement i n termingled that now, as we look back, it seems to have been one uninterrupted round of pleasure.
We
entered into the regular college work with the greatest e n thusi asm, a n d the result in all departments was most gratifying.
We
also showed t h e same zeal i n a.Jl college sports, and were ever ready to support any laudable enterprise.
The fraternities
found good m en among us, and i t is quite a significant fact that all b u t five of the class became conuected with these in viting and much - sought-after organ i z ations. I n all our contests with the Sophomores w e conducted our selves i n a manne r worthy of admiration, and proved we were The acme of our Freshman year
their equals i n every respect. experiences wa
reached when; examin ations over, we met at the
Augusta House to enjoy a class supper and make our exit i n a becomi n g manner from this, the first year of our course.
We had
a glorious time, an excellent supper, and the e xercises incident to such an occasion passed off most pleasantly.
( 27 ) ------- --

From this exit
�
brigbt memories were carried a way by each of us whi ch wil
regarded in after years as the pleasantest of our college l i fe.
With our Sophomore year came n ew responsibilities and added dign i ty.
We taught the Freshies bow to a.ct, bestow ing
particular attention on a few u rgent cases w i th most satisfactory results.
This year we 11·ere victorious i n every contest with the
class below us.
Two pleasant occasions of this year noed to
be noted as especially worthy of mention : One, a turkey sup per j ust before Thanksgi vi ng, provided by a compete n t com m i t tee at an amazingly small expense, yet i t met t h e higllest e x pectations o f all ;
t h e other, t h e matched game of ball w i th
the Bowdoin '84 nine, at Augusta, a n d supper afterward at the Cony House.
The game of bal l wns hotly contested, the score
at the end of the tenth i n n i n g bei n g 7 to 4 in our favor . ing occurred to mar our enjoy ment.
Noth-
We found the Bowdoin boys
very pleasant and gentlemanly fellows, and w e hope to meet them agai n .on
a l ike occasion.
We are now almost at the close of our J u n i or year.
I t has
been foll of e njoyment and bas pas ed q uickly a.way.
The
studies have been m uch more i nteresting t b a n those of the two preceding yea.rs, and tbe work done shows the i n terest all take in them.
In athletics w e have al ways taken a credi tabl e part.
W e have al ways been represen t e d in the
college n i ne and llave
al ways borne away a good share of th .e prizes on Ficid Day. We are now look i n g forward tn
c n ior year, and we trust
and uelieve it 1v ill be as bright as the past has been.

Arn: Nettleton. Ivy vine !
'Tis thee we honor, O n this amrnal festive day, For thy tender leaves remind us, Three Joug years have passed away. 'Tis with tender baud lve plant thee, 'Neath o l d Colby 's stony walls, W h ere the stranger treacls her pavements, Learned sage frequents her hal ls. I n thy solitar.Y birthplace, Native birds become thy guests; And their summer voices mingling, Sing thy praises from their nests. When in future years we gather Round our Alma Mater's board, Then t.hy t.a kl Oh sweet reminder, Scenes of by-gone years record.
