�ur readers in general, and the students of Colby in particular, J the twentieth volume of the ORACLE wi bes long life, health, and pro perity.
In our American colleges the students' annual has obtained a well
deserved prominence as an exponent of college sentiment and a mirror of student life.
Its issue i

inquisitive, apprehen ion by the eusitive, and interest by all.
We may

We may say, how
ever, in the beautiful language of our last 'atalogue, that these opening pages are the introduction to a realm iu wbicll are found some of the highest achievement
of human CJ'enius.
If any one deem

admit that it is the plain, unvarni bed truth. We do not feel called upon to follow the example of some of our pre decessors in trying to at

ome of the many per onal references to be found in the following
pages, for it bas come to be well understood that the ORAULE love

shining mark, and that tho e to whom it especiaUy pays its respects are favored abov
their fellow .
ccordingly we expect that feelings of tile
deepest gratitude will well up in the brea ts of tho'e who are brought thus prominently before th
public.
We may al o say that the well
known reputation for kindness and philanthropy, enjoyed by the mem bers of the present Board of Editors, forever precludes the possibility of - 7-
a supposition that they have acted in any case with other than the most benevolent intentions. We wi h to a sure those whom we may seem to have neglected, that it is not through any ill-will on our part, but

This intention is the re alt

failing is excessive modesty. Finally, hoping that onr efforts to plea e will be appreciated by a grateful public, we bid our r aders an affectionate adieu. THE EDITOR .

Now while we and have the
greate t confidence in the correctne, of their judcrment, we feel that in ju tice to the students, to tbe librarian, and to the institution it elf, tbis neglect of tbe library should be remedied.
Enough money, certainly,
should be given to the library to keep it even with the progres
of the
other departments. The most important event of tbe year has been the establi hment of the chair of Geology and Mineralogy (formerly under the charge of -14-
M. E. Wads
Prof. Elder), and the installation in that chair of Prof. worth of Harvard.
To make room for this department the whole of the

As a teacher, Prof. Hru"\ILIN exhibited the same traits that distin guished him throughout life.
Be was indefatigable in bis industry,
scrupuloLtsly regular and sy ternatic, patient, persistent, exhaustive, self sacrificing.
ro student could come under 8is instruction, without feel-22-
ing the force of these characteristics perpetually stimulating him to higher and higher exertions of bis powers.
The methods of instruction
generally employed in the college while he was connected with it, were uch as had grown up under the prevailing idea that the teacher was properly the guide, whose business it was to conduct the student to the ources of knowledge, to put him upon the best methods of investigation, and to train him to orderly, continuous, determinate activity, but not to do his work for him, or to devise ways and means by which his ta k might be changed from one of clo e, bard work to one of comparativ leisure and pastime.
ucb methods accorded entirely with the views of
Prof. HAMLIN, and be never sought essentially to alter them but b gave new life and tone to tbe e old methods, infu ed into them bi own indomitable enthu iasm and genius for work, until in his hands tlley
l ecame a means of in piration to the student and an aid in concentrating bis energies upon fruitful Jines of thought and iuvestiga.tion.
Prof.
HAMLIN believed not in merely furni bing occupation to the student' mind, but in ta king it, in putting it upon rug

and that not in fruitle s pursuits, but in sucl.l as shonld result in the thorough discipline of its power , and the qnent reflection and study.

the well-spread board, with mirth and song, we celebrated the close of our infantile college days, and looked forward into the future with still brighter hopes for '86. The summer vacation soon passed, and wheu the campus saw us again we were

But while entering upon new privileges and
taking upon ourselves new duties, we never counted it neces ary to act the rowdy in order to be the ideal

contests of onr course were finished, and, what was n ver before the good fortune of a class, w e were victor in all of them. During the fall and winter term
we plunged boldly and fearlessly
into Rhetoric, and spent our spare time di secting
hakesr eare.
In
the
long spring days we drowsed over Anglo- axon , and near the close of the term were introduced to the realms of science by the lectures on Chemi c a l Physics.
In t h i s w e found a new field o f i nterest a n d pleasure. We soon found that it required full " three honest hours per day 1 on a lect

True we were but
spectators now, yet soon were to be participants, and now were collect ing points for fnture use.
Almo t unnoticed by ours Ives the half of our
college days bad passed, and we were now leaving the petty affairs of early life, soon to a sum the dignity and responsi uility of uppercla smen. - 53 -

In t h e electives a large majority chose Elec

E vidently
had the professor been able to use his per onal i nfluence in that direc tion, som e of the class wou l d have been sent eveo l ower down than the -F ren ch recitation room. I n the spring term we went eagerly to work on Geology, Political Economy, and German. all .

ALASKA VILLAGE, ME., December
2.
lCE RE I am ! At least I think I am. There were several reason ...) l, why I might not have been here, and that s why I m not sure.
Had to take one of my exami nations over ( owing to a little mis understanding) . This detained me two days, and having misplaced my library book, or rather my chum having done so, I had to stay another day to hunt that up. Well , the next morning my old alarm -clock didn t go off ; consequently I missed the train . Finally when I did get started, spent five days on the way-two blockades and fail u re of stage to make connections. As a resul t of all this hurry, cold, and delay I came very near losing my valise, one ear, and reputation for promptness. Had to whistle " Michael Roy,' and other hymns al l the way from Waterville to keep up my drooping spirits.

D ECEM .ll E R 3. Was there ever a more romantic l i t tl e hamlet tb a.n this . A n d the little tumbled-down old school-house " j ust too sweet for anything,' as my si ter would say. Ob, that I b ad the pen of a poet or th e brush of a painter ! Then I could picture the scene of my future labors in the cause of education, the qL1iet l i ttle school-house as it stands i n bold rel ief on the bill-side. It seems like a veritl'Lble haven of rest after tbe fl unks of last term i n college. Tbe sight was truly picturesque as I approached i t this morning-the snow on the roof, tbe fringe of icicles, no suggestion of a patb to mar the i dea of solitude, the worn step , the shattered door, the chimney which reminds one of the leaning tower of Pisa, the broken windows, and at a little distance the wood-pile with its sticks not piled up in any old-maidish way but thrown about in artistic confusion . What a picture this would make ! I exclaimed. Then within, everything finished in ltard wood, with the motto i n ever green on the wal l , " Look up, not down . So I turned my eyes to the smoky ceiling instead of to tbe floor strewn with pea-nut shel ls. Evi dently I made a deep impression on the scholars during my openiug peecb. They stared m uch and giggled more, especially a young maiden of perhaps sixteen u mmers with :111 innumerable throng of red curls, and light blue eyes which she rolled i o a most alarming manner. When I asked for her name she replied with a high ·pitched and squeaking i;-oice, frs Melinda (be ! b e ! ) hlelissa (be-he-he ! ) Mell (be-he be ! ) .

Moreover, the
successes which have been achieved during this period have not been due to the weakness of our opponents, in deed, they clai med a superior force, they now claim it, and we have no doubt will conti n u e so to d o i n the ages t o come.
Bowdoin bas assuredly been unfortunate ; she bas
(according to her own statement) been the target of a thousand littl e misfortunes.
E ven from her victories, we should have said victory, she
bas been unable to glean any comfort except what she could work u p by artificial means.
Actuated by i ncomparable egotism and un precedented
gall, she sent her messengers to light the bonfire and discharge the can non of victory.
They only kindled a blaze to ill umine the path of her
victorious opponents, and sounded her own folly far and wide. We have said that for four consecutive years out of the five, we were victorious.
The fifth we failed to gain the championship.
The last and
deciding game was hotly contested and nicely played by both parties. It was finally decided against us by a score of thirteen innings.
