�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

looked forward to with impatience by the

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

We may

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

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

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

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.

T hus the class

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.

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

ure, and even then some at times " couldn t exactly remember the next point, ' and frequ � ntly " something wa omitted. 1 n exit was vetoed, and aft r examinations we settled down to enjoy Commencement week, with i ts bustle and confu ion.

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 -

At the opening of the J unior year, although we

till did som e hard

work i n Chemistry, a general lassitude seemed to fall u pon th t h e other department .

cla s i n

With al most unanimous consent we agreed that

w e were too old to " plug Greek,

hence an expedie n t -and consequent

compliments from the professor, o n the excellence of our translations of Electra.

Tenderly we linger over the recollection of our l as t term in

G reek and commiserate other classes that they can hn.ve au elective i n stead i n t h e J u n i o r year.

In t h e electives a large majority chose Elec

tricity, while the choice few elected French.

T he professor of the l atter

praised in high degree our work, and expressed a si ncere wish that more bad elected bis department ; a wish by the way , which the Professor of E lectrici ty heartily seconded before the close of the term.

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 .

Political Economy was a favorite study with us

The professor, with remarkable di cernrnent, spen t but l i ttle tim

on the doctrine of Malthus, probably considering i t something hopeless of disciples among us.

As i ncidents of the term's work in Geology, the

W inslow l an d-slide and tl.Je trip down river will always be remembered. Especial paios were taken to make the work in German a sncces .

Fol

lowing the example of preceding classes, carefully written marginal and i n terl inear notes were m a d e of the profes or's favorite translations and peculiar anecdote , thi nking that i n thi

way e verything might be the

better m ade sati factory to h i m at the examination .

But great was the

surprise when these same texts upon which we bad spent so m uch pre cious time and conscientious labor, were delib rately taken from us and new ones sub tituted.

ALASKA VILLAGE, ME., December

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 misÂ 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 ! ) .

The alarmiug development and aggressiveness of our great intellectual cor porations, unle s checked, will inevitably lead to the demoralization and hopele. s degradation of the toiliug students.

It i s imperative, i f we desire to enjoy the full blessings of college life, that a

The sharp p l ay i n g T h e changes which

have taken place i n the whole bas -ball system e ve n within a fe w years shows the rapid advanc e m e n t it h a

made.

In most colleges base-ball

stands pre-eminently a t the head o f athletic sports.

Especially is tllis

true of the colleges i n ow- own , tatc. D u ring al I thi rapid advanceÂ Âˇ ment Colby has not been left behi nd, but, on the contrary, has e v r taken tlle lead.

This is shown by the remarkable success wh ich bas

attended our nine during the past fe w years . .At Colby no appeal i

responded to w i th such pecul iar readiness a

one in behalf of ba a-ball , and noth i n g in more proudly spoken of, than d uring the past five years that

the l i n e of college sports is

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 canÂ 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.

B ut we will not set up a horrible h owl in consequence i

we will not forever brood over our " bard luck,' crying ' unfair, unfair, lest our friends think we come from Bowdoin, famous for wailing. We read, not long ago, of a little flag- taff standing out o n the delta of a neighboring college which " spoke good plain Engli b ," and someÂ thing else about another which would have been there b ad they only been able to get it.

They forgot to add that thi other flag-staff was a

big one, and stood out on the diamond at Colby, surrounded by several others still larger.

However,

we congratulate onr Bowdoin friend

that they h ave at l,1st got a l i ttle memento of thi

kind if it i
