LTHOUGH in college class-room work 1 the odious system of re足 views and re-reviews is more and more becoming a thing of the past1 yet it still seems
to
be considered necessary that the col足
lege annual should open with one of these same melancholy reviews, probably to offset the effect of the half-concealed vein of light and trifling humor which is supposed to run throughout the remainder of the publication.
Not but that, according to popular estimation, the review
should be as irresistibly funny as aught else between the covers of the ORACLE.
Some hapless editor is expected to dig over, like a rag-picker1
the heap of refuse details which have accumulated in a year's time, and from this dry and dusty mass of forgotten and outcast material to extract a store of facts and incidents that shall be rich and juicy as well as en足 tertaining and instructive.
Yet not for a moment must fact be sacrificed

There is
We confess that we can see nothing
particularly amusing (for all it may be ludicrous enough) in the fact that the Senior electives are a repetition of tbe studies of the Fresh足 man year, nor even is there anything essentially mirth-provoking in the fact that there has been chosen a new Professor of Natural Philosophy and Astronomy.
And yet it is just such side-splitting witticisms as these
which must make up the body of the review.
Confessing our inability
to reconcile such an incongruity as has been pointed out above, we content ourselves with submitt.ing to our readers a plain, unvarnished statement of the leading events which have made up our college history for the past year. Only one well acquainted with all the circumstances regarding Prof. 13

That a man should graduate from
college at this day with as little knowledge of French or German as i
possessed by the present classes, is a severe reflection upon either
the curriculum of tho college, or its standard of requirements for ad mis ·ion. The library has been in the cheery state o( almost complete stagna tion.
Not but that there bas been use enough made of the facilities
which it offer , but that the provision for maintaining these facilities at their present relative grade of excellence is so absurdly inadequate to the demand.

Long ago the painted brave Crouched before thy palisade, Poured bis balls of seething lead On thy timbers firmly laid.
Now the savage warrior sleeps, Peace has spread her pinions white And upon the western shore Golden spires catch the light.
Silver moss upon thy walls Marks the end so sure to come, Just as snowy locks of age Mark the conrse so nearly run.

For the :first three years, At the end of that time
there was made an indentation in the forest sufficiently large to receive South College, which, with the prestige of the :first-born, has since that time remained the chief seat of the classic and scholarly culture of the institution ."

incipieut university, and by an act of the Maine Legislature i t was allowed to assume the name of
Waterville College.
A president
being now necessary, Prof. Chaplin was elected to that office, in time to officiate at the first Commencement, i n August, 1822.
Two gradÂ
uates received the degree of A.B. at: this time-George Dana Boardďż˝
man, whose name and life are a legacy to the college of to- d ay, and
Rev. Ephraim Tripp, whose
death
occurred a few years ago
in
Mississippi.
The professorship of theology, left vacant by Pres. Chaplin, was
filled by Rev. Stephen Chapin;
and it is a fact calculated to inspire
gratitude and contentment in the hearts of the present Faculty that a perceptible advance bas been made in the amounts of salaries since that time.
Pres. Chaplin's salary was fixed at eight hundred dollar
and bis house rent, w hile the more modest professor of theology was fain to con tent himself with the magnificent stipend of five b undr d dollars annually .
We learn that during this same year

students w ho were not fortunate enough to obtain rooms in the build i ng first erected. The college was now fairly under way, but it was only to fiud itself launched into a sea of difficulties i n which i t bade fair to found r at the very outset.
Its debts had been greatly increased by the b uilding
of Jorth College, and not only was it unable to free itself of the e, but even its current expenses were more than i t wa
able to defray.
Many of the friends of the college were in favor of its abandonment, and abandoned it undoubtedly would have been had not a subscripti n igne l by one of tile board of Jfterary editor , ha been pro. to the in crtion of lhls statement. The objection was ovetTuled by

''with a qualification which would be

More
to the professional man
than this, many of the student
were able, by the proceeds of their labor, to defray their full college expenses.
This last statement, however, becomes less surprising when
one considers that the price of board at this time was but one dollar a week, and that the total expeni:es of the college year were under seventy-five dollar .
The second report, publi bed six or eight years
later, contents itself with remarking that as the shops bad not proved self-supporting, but on the tion

FAIR STREAJ11 : How geutly at the break of day The coming light i l l umes thy way, Thy waters lie so l'Ool ancl deep A
if thy heart were fast asleep.
Antl cold and white the mists arise Like morning incea e to the
kies.
Beneath thy banks the waters flow -or yet return the morning glow. The flowers that bloom upon thy breast Are opened now and lie at re t .
So pure t h y look, s o white and fair, As if an angel had been there. The rosy flush of Li fe's fair clay Ha
thrown it
And Hope ha
light aero
s
our way
openetl many a flower
To make life sweeter for an hour.
110
At noon, beneath the summer sun, How calm and st.ill thy waters run. The plashing oar with dripping blade Glides back and forth beneath the bade. The wood-bird iugs be ide her nest That m irrored floats upon thy breast. And in the water flowing by, The fleecy cloud reflected lie. In after year when manhood' noon Ha brought it burden far too soon The plash of oar will oft recall Tho e halcyon day of early fall, And bi.rel that ing along the shore Bring back the day that are no more. Within the heart the fragrant flower. Shall oft recall tbe youthful hoiir . W hen eYening hadows l ow l y fall. Aud from thy bank the robins cal l , T h e idler in t h e drifting boat Incline hi head to catch the note ; That dear olu ong so sweet and clear, It fi l ls the woodland far aucl near. The crim on glow that fill the we t Ha thrown a flu h upon thy breast, The farewell smile of parting day To cheer the boatman on hi way. And when l ife's cour e is nearly run . And in the we t d cline the nn, That dear old ong above ome tream Shall bring agaiu the youthful dream, And in the heart thy crimson flow hall light again the long ago.

or more than a q uarter of n century W cbster's D i c t i onary has been large ly the ack nowled ged Stanclard throughout t h e country.
lmost all t h e School Books o f th is country are ba:ed on Webster, and to a very large extent t h is i s true of all other p ubl ications.
ontains over 11. 8,000 Words a n d l\'I eanings, over three thousand more than are found in any other English Dictionary.
h e Courts look to it as t h e h i ghest a u t hority i n all questions of defini tion .- Morrison R. Waite, Chief Justice U. S. Supreme Co urt.
o frequently is Webster c i ted as authority i n Conrts o f Jw,tice that one Reponer sent us a I ist o f twen ty-seven such cases from o n e State, and h e wrote : " I presume I could collect five times as many from the Reports o f other States."

o tr n d i m i n i. bed is the demand for Webster's Spellers that over a million copie , were sol d i n 1 8 0, and this is about an average year's sale.
lluslrations, 3000 , abo u t three t i mes as many as are found in any other Diction ary, anti t h e e are repeated and classified at the end o f the book . efini tions by illustrations are nowhere better or more carefully and accurately shown than i n Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. mbodies about J 0 0 years o f l iterary labor.
