close of another colleae year is fas t approaching

when

after

the cn tomary exercises of Commencemeot week are over and a

blissful quiet has settled upon the campus and the town, another class will find itself c a t upon the mercies of the world; the remaining clas e wtll take a new and different vi ew of college life and a vacancy will be formed to be til led the followi ng autumn by another influx of verdancy.

GorrEHT}Dr .R bn s r G o"bu r ri . m B ER COBURN was bol'O in what is DOW the town of kowbegan, ]fa March 22, 1803. B i s residence, during the eighty-two years of his hle, was within three m iles of the place where be died. and where

be is buried.

His ancestors were of Puritan stock.

native of Dracut, Mass.

His father was a

ton family, a name honored from the earliest settlement of the upper Kennebec unti1 the present time by men of character and pnrpo e. Squire Coburn, the father of the Governor, early be.:: a me a m an of infiuence, but not of wealth.

Eighty years ago the people of Maine had

a battle for existence with the resisting force of nature.

What are now

the fertile fields of the u pper Kennebec were then n e w settlements. Farms had to be hewn out of the >irgin forests · roads had to be m ade ; the log cabin stood in the place of the in viting farm-house; the table of the best-to-do was frequently without bread, a n d his sons and daughters h ad no occasion for the ervices of the tailor or the dres -maker.

Then

i t cost more to move a ton of merchandise from .Augusta to Skowhegan than it now does from Chicago to hlaine.

To these hard conditions was

Abner Coburn born, the eldest of a large family. before he was ten years of age.

Toil was a reality

Into that life of toil and struggle he

entered with that quiet purpose which ha characterized his whole l i fe. The realism of b is early days gave to h is after life i t practical tur n . never occurred to him to sow wild oats.

It

Consequently the years some­

times devoted to that culture were. spent in building u p that sober and thoughtful manhood which in after years caused him to be trusted and honored.

I n Abner Coburn's life there was no period of idleness or

fr ivolous pursuit. His opportunities for education were few ; the district schools were brief and poorly instructed. effort.

What the pupil obtained was by his own

Only the vigorous became scholars.

A few terms of district

only willing to bold that amount, but was eager for m o re with the names of A. & P. Coburn as en dorsers.

The faith i n the man was greater than

the faith in Maine's great rai l road system . Governor Coburn took a deep i nterest i n political matters whi l e y e t a young man .

He gave his first vote for President for John Q uincy Adams

in 1824, when be was twen ty-one years of age.

All his li fe be was in

that line of political following which, under the names of Whig a n d Re­ publican, held to a liberal construction of the constitution, opposed the heresy of State supremacy, maintained the policy of protection, a n d opposed t h e pretensions of t h e slave p o w e r .

Governor Coburn's first

appearance iu public life was in the Maiue House in 183 , when be was in bis thirty-fifth year.

It was the first House i n which the Whig party

bad a majority, and for the first time a Whig Governor sat in the e xecu­ tive chair,-Edward Kent.

H e was agai n a member i n 1840 and in 1844.

That he was thus early in l i fe rega rded as an able man appears in the fact that in these Legislatures he served on the most important commit­ tees,-Finance, Valuation, Banks, a nd the Northeastern Boundary,-then by far the most important questions before not only Maine but the Fed­ eral Congress.

A Whig, i n a Democratic State and not a seeker after

office, Governor Coburn did not appear in public again during the exist­ ence of that party except as a n elector on the Scott Presidential ticket in 1852. When the Whig party fell to pieces fo r want of principles, Governor Coburo was one of the first to aid in the formation of the Republican party.

J n Maine it was the party of freedom and temperance.

He was one of t h e few men who cannot be su rprised

and who never lose their poise. H e was one of those rare men who are , able to face and, by superior force of character, repel disaster. ome­ times slow to promise, he always kept bis faith and often exceeded bis pledge.

o m uch a part of his intellect was his integrity that even his

long experience did not convince him tbat among men there could be knaves.

A ll classes of men as they were brought in contact with Gov­

ernor Coburn trnsted and respected him. Is i t a wonder that such a man, after half a century of usefulness, in which he became t h e benefactor of b is

tate, should be followed to his

grave, as sincere mourners, by m e n and women i n every walk of life ' Well did Governor Robie, as t h e representati ve of t h e people, pause i n bis address t o the Legislature t o acknowledge the debt o f the State to him and to pay a tribute to bis character.

Of mere fame, he has none ;

but of noble and enduring works be bas raised

a monument.

Genera­

tions hence the sons and daughters of Maine will be receiving the bene­ fits of his wise liberality.

But greater than all is the value of his noble

life, showing as it does that great success can alone be achieved by i n ­ domitable perseverance and high integrity. 30

account of the part we have played in the drama of life during the past year, simply mentioning the fact that '86 is the fir t and only class yet recorded i n the history of the college that ha nev r suffered a defeat in any of her class conte ts. It is but a single step from a Sophomore to a J u n ior, but that step is a broad one.

We

a re now upperclassmen ; the half way poi n t in our

course has been turned, and every day brings us nearer to the final goal.

Last year we wrote com po itions, this year we write articles ; la t year w e asked advice, this year we give it.

Thus we a re able to recognize

in a degree the superiority of a J un ior's l ot, to that of a Sophomore. The fall term opened rather inauspiciously for u

modesty which ha chara c --

nineteenth century is pre-eminently au age of change.

Men are

no longer content to follow i n the beaten track of their predece sors but are eagerly casting about for new paths in which to venture.

Especially is this t rue of t h e people of the Uni ted States.

Here, as

nowhere else, old t h eories old beliefs old customs are thrust aside t o

m a k e room fo r successors bearing the i nd ispensable stamp of novelty. I t i s not surpri i ng, then, that educational methods w hich h ave been long i n vogue ar

are lingering i n the rear i n the u n i v rsal march of progress. course of study wa

their

Our colleges, i t is claimed, Their

framed to meet t h e wants of an age w h e n the essen­

tials of a liberal education were vastly different from w b at they are i n the closing year of t h e ni neteenth century.

T h e advocates o f a radical

change in our present methods of ed ucation are not so clear as could be w ished i n their atte mpts to define the changes they propose to bring about.

In fact i t is doubtful if many of tho e who are so outspoken i n

their denunciations o f th e " cast-iro n curricul um 1 1 and the " absurd

devotion to the classics 11 wh ich they are pleased to regard as the bane of our colleges, have a n y well-defined i dea of a system of e d ucation to be i ntroduced i n the place of the oue n o w prerniling .

.A few pro m i n e n t educators, howe ver, have laid down a defi n i t e

tate­

ment of the principles on which the so-called new education sho uld rest. Briefly

tated, the two leadi ng features of the scheme are the study of

the modern languages instead of t h e classics, at the option of t h e stu­ dent, and a m u l t i tude of elective

tudies i n stead of a fi xed curriculum.

This is es e ntially the plan which h a

rece n t l y been adopted by one of

the leading colleges of the coµutry, the result

o f which will b e watched

with the keenest i nterest.

I o defense of these i n novations w e are told further that the time has gone b y when a k nowledge of the cla sics was a n indispensable feature of a li beral education · that t h e amount of time usually spe n t b y stu­ dents upon Greek a n d Latin is o u t of all proportion to the valu e of these and that their place in the curriculum should be largely filled by

studie

the modern languages.

It i

clai med al o, tbat tbe field of knowledae

bas become so vast, that there is now no reason why students should be l i m i ted to a few brancbe

instead of cb oo ing from a great many those

best suited t o their ta te. Before w e are prepared to j u dge intel ligently of th

m e rits of the

above claim , i t is nee ssary to under tand the n ature of the education which o u r college are d signed to aITord. the obj ect of

It is generally admitte d that

ducation is twofold : first, so to strengthen a nd disci pline

the i n tellect ual facultie , that the studen t may be abl e to u e t h e m to th e best po sible ad van tage wh n b e com s to enter u pon tho active duties of l i fe ; and second, the gai ning of knowledge.

The studies best

adapted to these two en ds, the refore, are the on s to be gi ven the lead­ ing places i n the college course . In tb e scheme of a l i beral education the clas ics have long held the place of honor.

Tiley form the bulk of the students' work in the fitting

school and no incou iderable portion of t h at of the college cours . this fact which the friend

of the new education prot

t again t.

It is They

would have the study of Latin , greatly abridged, and Greek reduced to

the position o f an elective or even dropped altogeth r .

Before their

v iews are adopted to any great extent, the educated people of the country will h:w e to be con vi nced that the method

advocated

are

superior to tho e now prevailing. The claim that modem languages should, i n a great mea ure sup­ plant Greek a nd Latin as college studies, i great weight with the clas

a pl ausible one a nd has

of people m o t thoroughly imbuecl with that

pirit of ba te wb icll so domi nate

merican l i fe.

Thi

aranmeat loses

a great deal of fo11ce, so far as Latin is concerned, when we remember that Latin is tlle foundation of many of the modern language , and that a k n owledge of it is not unly ab olutely e

e n tial to a thorough u nder­

standing of tho e languages, but al o gives one great ad\aotages i n point o f time i n their acquisition.

Indeed, men well qualified t o judge

have giv n it as th eir opi nion that a stndeut wishing to gain a kno wledge of tlle Romance languages would save t i m e by first learning Lati a . 1 n regard to Greek tb

a m e cannot, of cour e be

aid.

I t s retention

i n the college curricul u m m ust be defended on otber ground , and those grounds are not wanting.

The

student who devotes his attention to a few branches gains more i n mental power and concentration than the one wbo ui vides bis attention among many different studies. There is another reason why tbe introduction of a multitude of electives would be a measure of doubtful expediency for many of our colleges.

Ei ther of these results will prove detrimental to the

Doubtless there are many respects in Anything tending to this end should be

R o :p s - P u I L NOT according to cu torn, un the

econd TI"ednesday of the Fall

Term, did the Sophomores meet the Fre hrnen in the ti me-honored cus­ tom of Rope-Pull.

As the autumnal orb of day passed its fervent me­

ridian, the youths and maidens of this historic city did NOT throng the shady boulevard, k nown as College

treat, on their way to the campus.

There was NO display of white vests a n d glistening tiles among the eniors, and

h

OT a rrJ i m p e of fluttering gauze or dainty parasol belong­

ing to t e fair ones of t h i s deligh tful borough.

At lrnlf-past two, the college d id NOT as emble

en

mas

e

upon that

part of the campus where for coun tless generations the hempen strand has w i t hstood the tremendous tension brought to bear upon it by the lower clas es. The Sophomores were NOT confident of victory.

The Fresh m en were

NOT eager to match thei r strength with the wild and woolly, because NO challenge bad been gh•en . The time passed, and NO Rope-Pull occurred. Primarily :

The

opbornore clas is NOT one of remarkable gall and

virulence ; its members are NOT renowned for athletic pro we s ; they are

NOT bold and audacious ; the gritty particles known as sand enter NOT into their constit utional d velop meot. Secondarily :

The Freshm en are NOT abstainers from a lactt:: a l diet ;

they h ave NOT abandoned the customary i nfantile sugar-plum nor the rubber tube with i ts ovoidal termination. H e nceforth do NOT give occasion for uch a report as this by omitting

the ti me-honored cu tom .

LAWS

S U G G ESTED

BY THE

BOA R D .

Whenever a student is p r e ent at a n y exercise from w h i c h his a b ­ sence is required, be shall i m mediately present to the officer supposed to be in charge of such exercise an apolO"'Y for bis pre

nee, and until

such apolO"'Y be p re ented, such officer shall cousider him elf excused from attending chapel. Excuses for absence from base-ball, lawn-tenni , or any general ex­ ercise of the college, m ust be p re ented to the Superintendent of the Gymnasi u m . All e x c u es should b e suggesti v e rather t h a n explanatory of the cause of the absence. o definite statement, such as " accidentally drunk,'' will be ac­ cepted ; but when illness is alleged it will be deemed a satisfactory excuse, although the Faculty shall have reason to believe the i l lness not such as to rend r the absence neces ary. A standing excuse for absence from any recitation is granted to the members of the choir, whenever they consider a rehearsal necessary. The following excuses will be satisfactory, viz. : ting u p i n th

Difficulty in get­

morning ; working on the ORACLE ; writing False Orders ;

going to the train at the opening of the term ; or reading " Boston In­ side Out " during study hours. Want of preparation on the whole or a part of the lesson can be s at­ isfactorily explained to the Prof. at the close of the recitation.

Absence from a Baptist sociable, at which every student is required to be present, will be counted as an absence from two recitations. All excuses must be i n before the end of the term, otherwise the stu­ dent will be excused from examinations.

There's a pleasant little villa Down below the busy town, Where the students, wh o are favored Love to pull the candy brown.

On the evening now in question To the villa took their way Certain Seniors and a Junior Who they were, w e will not say. But the fact remains consistent That the Senior tall, sublime, Made a blunder most egregious, (Foot-pri.ii.t s on the sands of time). Or, to put i t more directly, When the candy bubbled black, I t was set upon the door-step, There to cool• till it should crack. When the time arrived for testing, Out they rushed, a merry crowd, In the front the haughty Senior, Tall and passive, calm and proud. On the door-step lay the candy; Frankie put his little feet Down upon the pan serenely, Down into the mixture sweet. Oh , the calm and placid Senior !

Oh , the pain that wrung his heart !

For the candy stuck, adhesive,

From his feet was loth to part. MORAL: If you'd make a great sensation, Make the mait.lens think you're sweet, Put the candy down your gullet, Do not spread it on your feet.

DISSERTATION.

Down on my boulders floated a veil, light as the vapors that fall over the swamps, in the quiet of night, when the boot-owl gives vent to his cal l . Invisible now unto mortals am I, but gifted with power of sight to behold the weird spirits of dreamland, who come and stand by the bedside at night. Through walls and partitions we noiselessly pass, and come to the side of a bed upon which is fitfully sleeping a youth. Two figures are there by his head ; and they are the visions be secs in bis dream, and, under the spell of my veil, I listen and bear what they whisper to h i m , these spirits s o mystic a n d pale. The o n e a t his left is n o w urging her case ; she is, i t appears from her looks, a spirit co-ed, showing up the rewards that come from a study of books. " Fair youth, you have entered this classic domain with a glorious prospect in view, but let me direct you by delicate hints to the prnper career to pursue. Be thou a student of diligence great ; devote every moment to toil ; rise ere the day-break thy work Lo begin, consume until midnight thine oil. Pay no attention to tennis or ball, enter net i nto the games, for when o'er a student athletics hold sway, the ioteilect flickers and wanes. This be thy watchword-to labor for rank-heedless that others revile, and then, when at last the awards are announced, thine be the pleasure to smile.
