We real ize that t h e i m pression which this volume is to make will not react upon ourselves alone, bu t that we are furn i hing an index from which many wi ll read, with different degrees of accuracy, t h e p r e ent general condition as well as the i n ide life of olby. But, while having no d e i re to critici e without d i crimi1rntion, we have till attempted no u ndue exaltation of our own em pire, cele lial though 1t 1s. H a ing given our best effort t o re pre ent th ings as they are, we su b m i t the result t o you r scrutiny with the hope that you may assign it a n honorable place in i ts p roper sphere . •

We wi h to acknowledge your recognition of thi a· a publication b 1 the tudent and the confidence in u hm n by a n entire a b ence of interfe renc r surveillance. \\'e tru t we have not betrayed thi onfiden , and belie that wit hit, and t ruth, will not for a moment d i turb the lofty piri t which has called forth re peel from e ery tudent. Alumni:

But, while the pre ent i a tive and prophetic of a brilliant future, we have not wearied of l ooki na back to pa t times - when olby' · pre ident enjoyed the low progre of a flat-boat up the Kennebec when aaain, the afterward famou Butler wa pa ing excu e to the Fa ult 1 which were not always accepted - when later, the infant ba e-ball wa nurtured by alumni now l iving. ome famil iar Yiew and relic which, a heir of !by trea ure we ha\'e recei,·ed a our own dear heritaae you will find depicted a they are to-day. For ·ou then may the e page turn back the flight of time and call up the l ight of other day . Friends:
\\ e wou!J like to pre ent to •ou a reflection of our college l i fe with all it5 harm and difficultie but amateurs at the art of holding the m i rror to ature are a u nable to paint all the e a tho e unac quainted with the olby world are i ncapable of under tand ing them. They m u t remain unappreciated where they ha,·e not been felt . B u t if •ou look for ,-aluable information, attractiYe engraYing unique de ign , with a aenerou ea onincr of wit and wi dom, you will find all uch i n addition to much good reading.
Finally allow u to testify that although our work ha been labo riou , i t ha •et been full of plea u re. ur h ighe t aim ha been to offer ome things of more than pa ing intere t and value. THE EDIT R .

'E c,f the mo t u eful of our college in ti tution and yet at the sa me time one at pre ent largely misunder load ar.d abu ed , i t he Board of Conference. \Ye would like to clear up an) hazi ne s or u ncertain ty that eems to hoYer around thi body, it compo -ition a nd purpo e . The Board of Conference is compo ed of t hi rteen members and i d ivided i n to two I.Jodie , a student body of ten members , cho en from the college classe , a. fol low : four Seniors, t hree J uo ior two Sophomore . o ne Freshman ; and a Facuity body of t hree me mbers. Each body h as it offi cers, as well a the entire board, and hold meeti ngs at t h e summons of it Pre ident for purpo e of d iscussion, matter of busines bei ng acted on by the whole board . The studen t body ha al o some power of itself to act, as is outli ned below. The who'e boar d meets regularly once in two weeks. The establ i hment of such a body as the Board o f Conference w a due to t h e fact that in Colby, a i n other col leoes, there ha been a growinn Oll\·iction that the student body hould be represe nted in it own go\•ernment The Board of Conference has another reason for existence, i n the urgen t ne<!d o f some d irect means o f com mu nication between faculty and tudent. Jn such a body as the Conference Commi ttee, there is afforded a m ean of arbi tration and conference by wh ich the mat ters of common i n tere t to faculty and students may be acted upon . The mai n tenance of college law, on the part of the student . and the adju tment of relations between indi\ iduals and cla ses is en t r u ted to the student body o f the Board o f Conference, w h ich has power to act i n all ca�e� except tho e o f flagrant abuse o f col lege d i cipline . In other word , E x t r eme ca� e of t h e student body aovern it. elf to a large degree. misdemeanor are referred to the en tire Board , so that even i n these the s t u d e n t body i larrrely repre. e n te d . I n relation lo the faculty, it may be said t h .J. t even that body can tak e no action i n \'olvinn- d i cipline a serious as u pen ion, w i thout fir t cal l i ng and consu lting the Board of Conference. 4- 1
l t would be a mistake to suppose the fu nction of the Board of Conference j udiciary o n ly .
M any matters of i nterest to all are discussed before t h i s

We are
Let us here, o nce and for all, confe s our peculiarities, some of them, at least. \. e claim the handsomest man in college ; the homeliest man in col lege ; a long-haired philosopher ; a short-haired h istorian ; a l ight-haired pol itical econom ist ; a bushy-headed scie ntist ; a Ward McAll ister of fash ion ; a Napoleon of finance ; a six- foot candidate for M. D . ; a five-foot reporter of odds and ends ; about a dozen who are engaged or are willing to be ; and nine co-eds who are " just too sweet for anything.'' These are all eminent, the rest of us are mere ordinary mortal . Certain happenings have im pressed us that we might excel i n athletics . Among our archive are several reminder of victorious Field Days for '93 ; notably, two class cup . How Nollie used to roll up the point for us !
In eparably associated with our physical training is the tragic part we have played on the college stage . • This, however, is a disputed point. Our first i nstructor in elocution confessed that our dramatic ability was marked, but alas ! the little man who tried to teach reading in h i place, marked our ability lardy or absent, and never above 4 . We feel sad about thi , not o m uch because it spoiled our Xs, but because he told us one day, oh, so ternly ! that we " could n't read nicely at all . " I n a l l matters pertaining to t h e welfare of Colby a n d '93, w e have ever been distinctively united and progressi ve. Ours is the ini tiative i n contributing t o the H istorical Library, t h e revival o f Presentation Day , and donation to the Art Collection , the abol ition of " Pean ut Drunk, ' and the vigorous support of the new Gymna ium e n terprise. I ndeed, l i nes of d ivision came upon u only when we reached t h e Senior year, and even these must b e referred to t h e bewi ldering maze o f electives. It was then that the co-ed ' un atiated taste for Deutch became appare nt, while the ma cu line mind revell�d in · • sources " of every Our required work under Prt'.sident \V h i tman h as been a description . positive delight. But why continue ? This i neither funny nor in teresting. We are already losing our classic burnish and begin to feel worldly Even now our hands are reaching for the sceptres of which we h ave dreamed. Our fate is upon us ! Farewell ! If you have tears, Prepare to shed them now ; Ye sen ior seers, Retire, you'\'e made your bow . H I STO RIAN. * Chapel p13tform,

Never ambitious fo r notoriety and fame, the class o f '94 refuses to unfold its private failures and successes to a curious public, through the medium of history.
The writer happening to be present at the " Penobscot " house at
Bangor, where the Freshman Exit Banquet was held, unavoidably heard the following bits o f conversation and song . which furnish the only source of information concern i ng th e fr eshman career o f th is class . " ' Tis proper first, meth i nks," said the toast-master, " to d ri nk to old Colby's ldrgest brood ; each man with h is neighbor, and cou nt h imself " Did we blow h orns d uring the - Soph-Fresh ball game " ?

Some came near sticking us.
Yes, J ake, you
must admit there was one problem needing S am's master mind to clear away the catchy thought before even you dared cal mly sit and meditate upon it. 'Tis s :i.id, the joke contained therein was badly daubed with personalities of '93. But now 'tis past, we gladly drink to '93 . H ark ! ' H ere's to our quartette, drink it down, drink it down, Here's to our quartette, the very best one yet, Drink i t down, drink it down, drink i t down, down, down.''
This s natch o f song was pealed out with all the vigor of wild West cowboys or Oxford County mountaineers . " What s the matter with our class n ine " ? was next asked. all righ t.'

It stands for ge n u i ne base-ball talen t.''

eptember'.s ripening sheaf time,
I n the second year of co-ord , ear the banks of the Ken-ne-bec, ear i ts winding, sighing waters, â&#x20AC;˘
eath the elm-tree and the maple, eath the shade of clas ic Colby,
Gathered more than thirty warriorsIore than thirty pale-faced warriors.
Forth from far-off places came they ; Forth from
1aine and from Massachusetts ;
From the land where roams the wild dee r ; From t h e land o f gold a n d silver; With them brought they each his ownings ; Each his pony and his
heepskin.
Brought their pipes and stores of wisdom, Brought much wampum and much learning.
I n the balls they made their tepees, :\fade their homes, their habitations, Bartered with their new-made neighbors, Bartered gold for t h i ngs essential. Strove they not, these mighty warriors, Strove they not w i th spear or arrow, ought they naught but right and justice ; ought respect and increased knowledge.
73
Th us was
passed the tribe's probation,
Passed in bunting, bat/zing, riding, Till at last they called a council, alled it in the Great Chief's wigwam. 'Sembled there the nation's great men, 'Sembled 'round lhe sacred altar, Chose themselves a mighty sachem, Chose their leaders and departed. carce molested were these heroes, carce molested, scarce were troubled; Even walked the land at midnight ; E'en defied the
ophomore,
Till the time some pale-faced maidens, Maidens dwelting at a distance, alled them to their habitation, To a feast they were preparing. Then these stalwart warriors trembled, Trembled for their homes, their dwellings ; For tbe pipe, for the dimro(;"
For their bric-a-brac, their owning . Prayed they then to the " Great
pirit,"
To the mighty Aulchapoola; Prayed that he would watch their wigwams, Guard and watch them through the darkness. Then, as coursed the lightening pale moon, As drew near the promised feast time, Rose these men of many conquests, Rose and donned their finest broadcloth ; Strode they forth from out their dwellings, Forth unto those fair-faced maidens, Entered, stayed, and then departed Blessed, and praised them, and departed. Hastened then to plundered wigwams, Back to desolated tepees, Plundered by the bated Boomerang, Rendered desolate in the darkness. 74
Yet they wept not, " Hardy Heroes '1 ;
\\ ept not, but went forth in swift search, Overtook the pillaged booty : Bore it back, nor mon were troubled. â&#x20AC;˘
â&#x20AC;˘
But now passed the dreary winter, Balmy springtime glided onward ; Glided, and the pale-face watched it, Watchecl it, and his heart grew restless. Longed he now for scenes once haunted, Longed to fish beside the swift brook, Longed to hunt the wary partridge, Hunt the deer ( ? ) and tread the wild wood . Then the tribe of chieftains coun elled, Counselled - gathered 'round in silence, And the sachem urged his warrior , Urged that they should leave their wigwams, Leave them through the burning heat-time; A nd he urged them, ere they parted, Urged them to a mighty pow-wow, To depart to some far city, There to stuff themselves with chow-chow. ow ere waxed the waning full moon, Soon as slain were dread professors, Quick they gathered up their ownings, Locked their tepees, left their dwellings, Sped to a far distant city : To that pow-wow, long debated, vVbere congenial spirits hovered, Where they feasted from the roast ox. Long they sat there, loud they chanted ; E'en from eve till morn they sat there, And the dawning saw no roast ox, aw the " fire water " vanished, Saw the heroes in their places, aw their heads bowed down in silence, aw them wrapt in deepest slumber aw the end of that great pow-wow.
75
*
1 Tis again September's sheaf time, 'Tis once more the ripen ing autumn, And the tribes again assemble, Gather i n the balls of learning. athered too, are many
strangtrs,
Strangers from all tribes and nations, And they fear those dreaded warriors, Fear them, dread them, and obey them.
Now, henceforth, the mighty pale-face, itting in his plea ant tepee, almly bide
the timid Freshman,
almly disciplines the
st1¡a11gtr.
J\nd be lives beloved and dreaded, Live
enshrined in power and honor ;
And his fame o'erspreads all nations, And he stalks, a conquering legion.

Sent emen's J{ist0r13. No tale vf might or majesty Can we 'ďż˝ itb truth unfold ; For each as Freshman is the heir, Though he may claim i t is unfair, Of those not pas i n g bold. From nature's darkne s we emerged, And to old Colby came ; Since we bad ever beard it said That she'd a<lj u t the dullest bead, n d supplement the name. \\ e sought the chapel, sacred spot, Where saints and sinners come ; For surely here there would be found On such b i toric hallowed ground, ,\ place resembling home.
Alas, bow vain is human hope ! \Ve saw an awful sigh t ; On platform high there d i d appear The faculty, who once a year Come forth in all their might. A nd then those boys across the aisle They call them SophomoresThey smiled and jeered, and jeered and smiled, As tho' they thought some creatures wild H ad passed w i thin the doors. And then we found, when forth we went, W e bad not een the worst : Our spirits further dampened were ďż˝ A nother deluge did occur, Which far eclipsed the first, 79
Then came sad days and sadder nights, And ever flowed our tears. I t seemed that we, at first so proud, Were doomed no more to speak aloud, Nor e'en express our fears. In vain we tried to beat the
ophs
pon the diamond ; In vain we opposition made, \Ve found our wrong in no wise staye d : ophs are of wiles so fond !
Then re olut ion bold we formed, That we would be so meek No fault could e'en a
ophomore find,
Tho' h e should search with all bis mind, A nd with all hatred eek. So closely have we followed it That we 've become obscure ;
'11
A n d now, tho' filled with classic lore, \Ve fear we
" ne'er be beard of more,"
Indeed, o f this we 're sure. Thus slowly has the year passed on, ¡without a deed, save one That's worthy of recordance here : But this, we hope, will not appear, So very poorly done. A nd now we close our history, That boasts so little wit ; And hope that you who nothing find, Will think of us with this in m i nd : * " Nihilo nihil .fit."
* The " ex " is omitted from this quotation, because it is now declared obsolete by the faculty of Colby University.

Not a branch stirred.
Everything was still, save a
dry leaf here and there, clinging to i ts twig and shivering as if touched by the breath of
a
ghost.
The old Hall, gray and silent, was dreaming a

What power pos5e��ed the place, making the very air
seem conscious ? The clock struck twelve.
A sudden gust of wind shook the rickety
Hall till its door swung wide, snatched the dead leavt s from their hold, then seemed to laugh and whi per softly : " Come, airy sisters, spirits of the years.
The time h is come.
Again, ' tis time to visit the old Hall, dear
place wherein ye found bei ng.
Come, and be merry at this midnight hour,
and talk of deeds of other days. " Quickly with the breeze, there entered a band o f sisters. they spoke, and the door was shut.
Greetings
In the fireplace a flame sprang up,
which burned brighter and brighter to ligh t the merry scene.
The sisters
clasped hands and talked together for a time, then separated i n to groups, some to look again on dear old walls, some to note the changes. One group moved apart from all the rest, three little maidens youngest of the band and most like common mortals, although their sisters sometimes called : hem " odd."
Side by side they sat on the old black
lounge in the study corner. They looked alike, and yet there was a differen ce than the others.
She was not pretty.
One s�emed o�der
Her face was marked with l ines that
told of care and responsibility, greater than is wont to come to maidens ; 82
but that it had been well borne was evident from her easy grace and quietness of manner.
One would not need to see the colors she was
wearing to know that she was Ninety-four.
Her earnest expression changed
to a merry smile as she looked at Ninety-five. who, perched on the head of the lounge, was trying to apply a wet sponge to the face of
inety-six .
Poor Ninety-six seemed very much at loss to know bow she ought to behave under such circumstances, but finally began to scream. Ninety-four said :

She smiled at me just as Mother Colby did, and I
wasn't afraid of her.
She played with me and amused me until I got
sleepy agai n .
Thea Mother Colby said :
" Little Ninety-six must be put

THE
GYMNASIUM. � - - - - - -------- ---¡-----
The only Gymna ¡ium possessed by the early students of the college, is reported by tradition to have consisted of a rope stretched between two trees.
It was not until along in the late sixties that a small wooden
building was erected, that stood a l ittle south of the present Gymnasium. In 1 876,-and tradition does not hesitate to name the culprit, this wooden Gymnasium was burned to the ground.
Io
1 877 tJ1e present building was
erected, and furnished with what was at that time considered the best of apparatus.
Two bowling alleys occupied that portion which is now given
over to chest-weights, and two long ladder ran from the floor to the cupola. There were three row ing and three chest-weights, each consisting of a huge iron ball that ran bumping i n a woode n box.
There were ropes and poles
for climbing, two horizontal bars, a pair of parallels, and several other pieces of apparatus.
For awhile, al o, there was a rnpply of rifles, used in the
drill of the short-lived Colby Cadets. By 1 882, both ap;>aratus and bowling alleys were much i n need of repair, for, although no regular instruction was given i n physical training, the " Gym . " was the playhouse of I n stitute.
l ower classmen and members of the
In that year, attempts were made at renovation , b ut the
inexperience of the person having the matter
in
charge, and the lack of
funds, prevented any great impr ovement, and with short i n tervals of athletic revivals, the
building continued to be used indiscriminately for polo,
base-bal l , and undirected exercise. In 1 887, the Trustees appointed Mr. Charles E . Adams, Bowdoin, 84, as I nstructor in Gymnastics.
Under his efficient management the building
was thoroughly renovated, tbe bowl ing alleys made into a ball cage, the old apparatus torn out and replaced by modern .
The graduate even of '87
would not have recognized the Gym nasit?m of '88. The chief lack remaining, was that of baths, and means for properly heating the building. These, however, the college at that time fe lt unable to add. Probably because of the manifest i nconvenience attending exercises in 105

foot-Ball at <eotby. It
i s not our purpose to give a history o f foot-ball a t Colby .
O n that
point, i t need o nly be said that for four years the game has literally struggled for existence, and, thanks to a few enthusiastic and fearle s spirits of the past, i t has been kept alive .
ORACLE t h i s
But the game bas now reached a point v. here i ts existence is no longe r doubt fu l .
The
year presents to its readers the picture of a fully
equipped team of m e n whose hearts are i n the game , and who, i t is n o vain prophecy to say, w i l l b e h eard from i n the coming season. The last
eason, o n account o f the weather, was a n unfortunate o n e ,
several of the
che duled ga 'll e s being cancelled o n account of the rai n , and
all games that came off being played i n e i ther the rai n or s now.
A
correct
estim ate of the team s playing ability can not, therefore, be made from a pri1J ted score of the ga me, for at least two of the cance l l ed games wou'd surely have been won by Colby. Games were played, however, wi th Maine State and Bowdo i n , and the team made a showing which certainly
urprised not only the boys themsel 1 es,
but al o a l l their supporters, for Maine S tate was easily defeated by a score of 1 2 to o, w h i l e Bowdo i n , though
h e was overwhelmi ngly victorious in the
first gam e , was forced to see n i ne points scored against her in the second game, to her twenty-two.
This game, in view of the fact that the odds were
large against Colby's scoring, i nspired great confidence in both the players and the college at large, for the team played with a snap and vigor which means, with larger experience, w i n n i ng foot-ball . For t h e future, t h e prospects of foot-ball are brigh t .
With a captain
who has had eight years' experience in the game, and who is an expert drop kicker ; w i th all the men drawn from the two lower classes ; and with all the association o n a sound financial basis, i t needs only the loyal support of the students, and the team cannot fail in the coming two years, a t least, to make
a record of which every Colby man will be proud.

It were fi tting that the manifold adventures of the Colby G le e Club, e m bodied in a majestic lyric, be sung to the v i brant chords o f golden harps, but as the leader would want to beat time, the scheme would hardly be feasibl e ; so the worl d m u t be content with humble pros e .

By i m i tating the " rolli ng

everything good, and did not spare the applause, so we were satisfied. Early the next morning we were obliged to tear ourseh·es away for Eastport, where we arrived in good seas o n .

At la t we reached S t. Steph e n , and took a train for

A good supper somewhat re\'ived us, but we
were so tired that we felt that we could sing a fu neral dirge with more effect than a college song.

I n the afternoon we took our customary dri\'e, greatly exciting the
wonder of one old hard-handed son of the soil, who i n astonished tone 117

That the Colby college

is glad to be able to say, al o,
that the Colby college world is not forgetting its still more vital interest religious interes t .
During t h e l a s t
yea r_ the Christian Associations, the Young M e n s
Christian Association and the Young 'Women's Christian Association, have been under the leader hip o f
ome of our most able and promising students,
and as migh t be expected, the work done has bee n , we believe, from the best m otive, and with good result . The aim of these associations like a l l similar ones, is to supplement the religious work done by the college faculty a nd the various pastors o f the city. The work accomplished during the l ast year is not easy to com pute. We can easily give the results of work done by the other student associations. The games of ball, lost or wo o , can be reckoned by simple count, the success or failure o f a glee club trip is readily known, but when we try to formulate the results of the year's work of these Christian Associations, we find it a difficult task. H ow much of the true Christian character that exi ts among us at Colby, is due to the influence of these organ izations ?
How much o f the lack o f
t r u e Christian character is due t o the failure o f t h e s e organizations to do their duty ?
These are questions which we would not attempt to answer.
We can say, however, that i t is under the auspices of thes e associations that most o f the distinctly religious part of the student's l i fe is secured. The
two associations u n i te i n a union prayer service o n alternate
Tuesday eve n i ngs .
These union meetings have been an especial feature of
the religious life at Colby, during the last year. That they have been helpful, not only to the i ndividual attendants, but to the college at large, there can be no doub t. meetings.
O n the other Tuesday evenings, the associations hold separate On Thursday evenings they u n i te i n a conference, conducted by
124
President \Vhitman. prayer meetings.
Besides these meetings, ome of the classes have class pecial service were held during the Week of Prayer for
Young l\fen s Christian A�sociations, also o n the Day of Prayer for colleges. That Colby may recei\'e the benefit, o far as possible, of the great religious gatJ1ering of students at the
orthfield Summer School , the Y. M . C. A. is
a nnually represented by at least one delegate.
At the State Convention
held in Augu ta, last Fall , the Young i\Ien' Association was represented by twelve delegates. It i under the auspices of these two associations, that some prominent preacher is secured to del iver a sermon before the student body, o n the Sunday eve ning of Commencement week . A committee from each as ociatio n , acting together, issue a hand-book, a nnually. This book is filled w ith useful information concerning college life, and is placed in the hands of the entering clas es, at t11e earliest po sible date . ne of the pleasant occasions of each year is the reception given the e ntering cla es by these organizations. Again, practically all the work done by the
tudents for the cause of
M is ions i done in connection with the Chri tian Associations.
From time
to time, visits are received from p ro minent m i sionary workers.
The travelÂ
i ng secretary of the Students Volunteer l\1ovement visited Colby last Fal l . Further, Bible study i carried o n u nder t h e able leadership of Professor Mathews . The special work done by the Young \\'omen's As ociation, is of such a nature
dS
to show their enthusiasm and in terest in the work .
During the
last year they have conducted. once a month , a Sunday afternoon meeting, at the Woman's Reading Room i n the city.
But what is still more of a
departure, they have held weekly sewi ng classes among the children of the French M issionary Church in the city.
They have also held a considerable
number of separate m i sionary meetings . Such are some o f the means used b y these associations fo r the promotion of the Truth .

President B. L. Wh itman. fr\ \:::::)
E year ago, the Trustees of Colby gave expression to their confidence in Rev . B. L. \Vhitman . Their decision was unanimous tlu.t be was best fitted for the presidency of Colby. Mr. Whi tman accepted the call with the con y iction that it was from God. An eloquent speaker, a natural teacher, a skilful administrator, and, in all , consecrated to God's service, the friends of the college believe i that i n the new president were united qualities of head and heart which promised success i n bis work. Beniah Longley \Vhitman was born in \Vilmot, ova Scotia, ovember 2 1 , 1 862, of sturdy ew England ancestry. As a youth, he was strong and healthy, but his boyhood was bort. A sociating with his elders rather than with those of his own aue, he matured early. \\'hen about fifteen years of age, he uegan to teach . \Vbile he was thus engaged, bis parents removed to Marlboro, Ma ., where he joined them i n 1 879 He united by letter with the Baptist Church here, the pastor of which was Rev. J . H Barrows, Colby, '7 2 . M r . Whitman was fitted for college a t \Vorcesier Academy, where he displayed such abil ity as to lead Principal Abercrombie to remark to him that his life work ought to be that of a teacher. He entered Brown ni versity in the class of '87 . Here he gave evidence of great power of mind and of remarkable capacity for work. He was awarded the entrance prize i n Latin, the Howell premium for first rank i n mathematical studies, the Dunn premium for rhetorical studies, and the Foster premium for the best examination o n De Corona. In h is Senior year, he was also awarded by the president one of the two Carpenter premiums for best standing i n " ability, character, a n d attainment." At graduation he received special honors in Greek, in Philosophy, and in Rhetoric and English Literature. J n the beginning of his Sophomore year, i\1r. Whitman began to supply the pulpit of one of the Providence churches, and preached every Sunday during the rest of h is course. He also held h imsel f in readiness to perform all pastoral duties, by keeping himself prepared ahead in his college work After graduation from Brown, he entered Newton Theological Ins itute, and, during his course here, preached at ewton Upper Falls, where be was ordained in 1 887, and at North Grafton and Hyde Park. At Newton. he maintained his reputation as a scholar. Dr. Stearns once said of him, "l 've had a great many bright young men during the past twenty-five years, but I do not recall one that comes anywhere near Mr. \Vhitman . " I n December, 1 889, M r . Whitman, accompanied b y M rs. Whitman, i;ailed for Europ e. ;\ft�r tl)eir return, in June, 1890, Mr. Whitman became
pastor of the Free Street Baptist Church, in Portland . H is m inistry here was highly successful. His sermons were eloquent and scholarly, and large congregations fel t the power of h is clear thinking and spiritual insigh t . H i abilities were recognized n o t o n l y in h i s churc h , b u t throughout t h e city a n d t h e State . H is acquaintance with t h e Baptist denomination is remarkably full, and has proved a helpful qualification for b is new work . The first year of President Wbitman· s administration at Colby ha fully confirmed the wi <lorn of b is electio n . H is inaugUral address was a master piece and made b is introduction to Colby m ost auspicious. Throughout the year, tlle m a ny addre�ses of the President have strengthened thi first i mpression and added to Colby s reputation in the State . I n the classroom h is accurate thought an d clear statement ha\•e pro\•ed his possession of the teaching gift, and h i sound scholarship has been a source of inspiration to al l . H · s i nterest in the college life, and sympathy with aU that is best in it, h ave won for him the hearty respect of every tudent. Throughout the per form a nce of the duties of the president, the personal influence of the m a n b a s been exerted . This rare combin ation of t xecutive abi lity a n d p e r ona l Christian mfluence has effected the best re ults . One who is thoroughly acquainted, both ith h i m a nd with hi work, has s1id that President Whit man takes up the work i n al l its departments as 1 hough for a hundred years of some previou existence he b ad been acting as president of a first-class college .

out with all the worry and flurry of a college day i n the height of the season, I slept ; and as I slept, I dreamed . But was i t a
dream, or did my soul leave my body, to wander at its own sweet will ? I was but a moving spirit, and even !es , for I seemed to Jack the material which surJ ounds even spirit, when considered by our prosaic minds. I was a flying thought, free from the limitations of time and space, borne among the stars, l istening to the " music of the spheres," sweeping by me in surges of pure sound. But this state did not last long. I found myself again l i mited to a body, though still moving rapidly in space. At last I stopped in a strange new country. The sun swung low in the horizon. Everywhere were the beautiful colors of sunset, yet they did not change . The freshness and verdure of a new created world was al l about me. At my feet grew a strange plant, gray and moss-covered. I examined it. With difficulty I pulled it up by the roots. They were Greek, and, saddened by the e ncounter, l turned away. Again I looked about me. I felt that this was the cradle of the race. I was back in prehistoric times. Was I at last to discover the mystery of evolution ? A strange being moved toward me, neither man nor beast. I trembled with fear and excitement. Would it, - could it speak, and what strange story would it tell of life in that long-past time ? It opened its mouth . ·with straining attention I listened. I magine the faintness which stole over me when I heard t he old, old chestnu t : " Is it ever right to tel l a lie " ? Foolishly I answered : " I don t know . " The creature looked at me with contempt. " Your head must be a vacuum , ' quoth he. H e said no more, so I lost the chance of learning the state of morals in that age . Gradually the creature changed. He became more l ike a human being, with the exception of h is long hair waving i n wild confusion. He beckoned, I followed ; strange music filled the air, the crash of cymbals, the hum of voices. In the distance I saw three witches bent over a steaming caldron. 132

A great addition to the usefulness of the college bas been made the past year, i n the establishment of a chair of Biblical Literature, occupied by our loved and honored ex-President, Dr. Pepper. Colby is thus one of the first colleges to open a department deYoted exclusively to what has been called ' the untaught cla sic, ' in so doing following closely upon two or three other ew England c lleges. The plan to support the chair by annual con tributions from the Baptists of �[aine was found impracticable · friends of the college have, however provided by subscription for its maintenance for five years. It is hoped that before the end of that time a permanent endow ment may be secured. Elective courses in this department ha e been offered to the seniors in the Winter and Spring terms. In the former term, the Old Testament was stud ied ch iefly · i n the latter, the course was in the Greek �ew Testament, this being studied, however, not for linguistic purposes, but for its contents, as Literature and History. A course in the elements of Hebrew was also open in the Spring term . The general aim in this department is to study the Bible with the same thoroughness, in the same scientific spirit as characterize the study of Chem istry or Hi tory in college. The study i conducted from the points of view, e! pecially, of H istory and Literature. The same accurate scholar hip as other college courses call for, is to be applied to the writings collected in the Bible . The object is, in short, to obtain a strong intellectual grasp of the Scriptures. At the same time, the end of building up moral and spiritual character is ever kept in view . That the average college graduate i sadly deficient in knowledge of the Bible of any such sort as is contemplated in this course, no one will deny. I ndeed, such knowledge can be obtained only when the Bible is given a place in the curriculum. The student feels, not without reason, that when he has done faithfully all the work demanded by three regular departments in col lege, he has l ittle mental energy left for any real, bard study of the Bible. Xow Bible study is allowed the same amount of time as other electives. The study is no more for those who are looking forward to the ministry than for others, but rather less . The former can postpone such study to the seminary, the latter must, generally, take i t in college i f at all. There is little need of speaking at length of the value of such a course in a libera education · yet no one can appreciate what a mine of wealth the Bible is until he has given it long, thorough study. The college is most fortunate in being able to secure Dr. Pepper to fill this important chair. Xo one could bring to it riper scholarship, cleare� thought, or a more inspiring, helpful personality. We rejoice that the influ ence of this warm-hearted friend and and wise counsellor of so many who have gone forth from Colby's hall , is thus again to be given to the college, we trust for many years to come .

stormy life came at a time
when his countryme were dispo ed to render him full justice.
He had

I n reviewing the life of the distinguished Alum nus,
Colby students and graduates will prefer, without doubt, to dwell upon tho e p h ases of his career which h istory will pre erve, rather than upon those failings and mistakes of which thi o-eneration h a made so much and of which the next generation will make so l ittle. G eneral Butler was born in D eerfield

H is forefathers were neither rich nor famous, yet no descendent of a line of earls was ever prouder of his ancestry than was General Butler.

library at Lowell he h ad prominently di played four swords which four generation of his family had borne in the service of his country.
Those
sword h ad not, u nless his own be excepted, fl ashed at the head of large commands, but they had been borne loyally by brave men who had left 141
civil life at the call of their country.
In later years, after he h ad suffered
many humiliations at the hands of the weal thy and cultured classes of M assachusetts, General Butler said, with ch aracter istic tartness and n:ck lessness, that h is social position would have been more favorable had his ancestors been dealers i n rum and codfish on the wharves of Boston. father, Captai n Joh n Butler, o n e o f J ackson's

when Benjamin was quite young, leaving a widow to struggle with poverty for the future of her children.
But that mother was one of the New Eng
land Cornelias, although there are some people yet living in M assachusetts who will refuse to believe that Benjamin could have ever been summoned when M rs. Butler displayed her jewels. W ith such training as his mother, assisted by her relatives, had been able to obtain f9r him, Benjamin, a youth of sixteen, came to Waterville in r 8 34.
He was a mere boy in a class composed principally of older
students, but even at that time a certain readiness and audacity a�tracted the attention of his classmates ; although his little blue coat, of antiquated cut as compared with the styles of that day, and probably fashioned with loving care by his mother, secured for him in the college rather more atten tion than did the budding geni us of the future Governor of New O r leans and
J\ 1 assachusetts.
Young Benjami n's mother decided to send her son to W aterville upon the advice of her pastor, the Rev. Enoch W. Freeman, a graduate of the Class of 1 8 2 7 .
A cadetsh ip at West Point had been offered the lad ; but
the excellent pastor had heard that there was m uch free thinking at the military school, and this, with the mother's earnest desire that her son should become a Baptist clergyman, turned the scale in favor of Waterville. The young man does not seem to have been averse, at first, to the idea cherished by his mother, but 1Jefore the end of his course he had fully decided to become a lawyer. At that time there was at Waterville college a workshop, where students m ight defray a portion of their expenses by manual labor. With the aid of this it would be possible, M rs. B utler thought, to meet the mod erate charges of the college course. The catalogue of r 834-5 estimates the yearly expenses of the student at week, and tuition, room rent, etc.,
$32
76, board being only one dollar a yearly.
Young Butler entered in a class of twenty-seven freshmen. The catalogue 142
informs u that he was a resident of Lowell, M as ., a nd that his room was , o. 1 8, north college.
At that time north and south colleges and recitation
hall were the principal building of the i nstitution, and the only o ne that h ave remained to this day. The student came from all parts of , ew Ena land, the proportion of l\l aine boys being very m uch smaller than at the p resent time. ;\[

As a student, young Butler was far from being the first i n this class. If we may believe h is o•.•:n account, he was too fond of teasing his instruct ors, of absenting hi msel f from prayers, and of neglecting the regul ar studies of the course for literary or scientific reading that pleased him at the time.
He graduated 7.5, the standard being
1 0.
In his " Memoirs,''
G eneral Butler expl ain that this low rank was partially clue to his neglect of prayers and Sunday services.
R ev. Samuel F. Sm ith, the famous author
of "America,'' was at that time the college preacher, and to the doctrines of Calvin, as clearly and ably elucidated by M r. S mith, young Butler made many objections.
F ailure to attend prayers or services was punished at that
time by a fine of tea cents, and a deduction in rank.
With characteristic
boldness, B utler petitioned the faculty for relief from the prayers and the services, accompanyiao- tbe petition with an ingenious argument against Calvinism.
The faculty, if we may believe the " M emoirs," were as much
shocked as were the eminent managers of the great i mpeachment case, many years later, when the same audacious spirit proposed to try the Presi dent of the U nited States by the same forms of law that he would use in a horse case. D uring his college course Dutler spent tlie long winter vacations teach ing, an occupation from which he derived great benefits, and which he recommends to the college boys of this day. After graduation, General B utler s relations with h is Alma
l ater were
not so i11timate as they m ight h ave been ; but as he grew older the mem ories of that youth when he bathed in the icy spring floods of the Kennebec, and debated theological tenets with his fellows, seemed to grow stronger. He was much pleased at being i nvited to deliver the commencement oration in
I
889, and on that occasion presented an argument for the annexation of
Canada, which was widely read and commented upon at the ti me. In 1 862 the college conferred upon him the degree of LL. D., an honor which was later repeated by Amherst college. Some time before graduating Butler heard the famous N ew Hampshire lawyer, J eremiah M ason, make a plea.
The student was captivated, and
thenceforth he was determined to become a lawyer. 144
H e bad that end in
Yiew when be was graduated, and he m ay have felt the i mpul e of his genius when, as h e relates i n h is ' l\l emoirs," h e informed President Patterson on graduation day, that be propo ed thenceforth to take a position among his classmates quite different from that aiven him by the college rank book. From the day of graduation at \ aterville to that other day when, as the first citizen oldier of Massachusetts, General Butler headed the memo rable u prisina of the 'ortb, twenty-three years elapsed . Durina those years Benjamin F. Butler, awyer, m ilitiaman and politician, was receiving ju�t the tr;.ining to fi t him to take a distinguished and u eful part i n the hour of bi country's areat need.
Yet such were the condition of this wonderful
character that h i career from r 838 to 1 86 r seemed to promise anything but the position which he took.
I t is true that from the time of his admis
sion to the bar in Lowell, i n 1 40, he had steadily ri en in h i profe sion u ntil he was recognized a one of the fir t lawyer in M as achusetts.

To this knowledge of

M assachu etts were wre ting the election of Charles S um ner to the

successful administration, wh ich was of incalculable service to the loyal cause at that time. Three days after the capture of B altimore, Genera l Eutler was pro moted to be i\ I ajor-General and assigned to the command of the Eastern district of Virginia, with headquarters at Fortress Monroe.
I n August,
1 86 1 , he captured Forts H atteras and Clark, on the coast of North Carolina. It was while i n this department that he rendered the famous decision which fixed the status of the negro as contraband of war. In M ay, 1 862, with an expedition which be had recruited himself in ew England, largely from the ranks of his old Democratic associates, he took possession of
ew Orleans.
He commanded that city eight months.
By many peo'.)le who never saw a city full of rebels, his administration was condemned for harshness · but he made the city cleaner, more healthful and more orderly than it ever was before, and made the flag and the soldiers of the U n i ted States respected by every one. Up to this time General Butler's military career h ad been a success, not because he had military genius, but because he was an energetic man of affairs, courageous, dashing, and yet prudent.
By no one except h imself
does General Butler seem to have been credited with military genius.
In
positions half military, half administrative, where courage and dash, tem pered by judgmen t were the essentials, General J:sutler was glorious ; but when the country h ad settled down to the war and i t was a question of military movements on a large scale, the men who h ad studied war as he had studied law came to the front.
D uring 1 86-t, he commanded the army of the
J am es on the East Coast of the Confederacy, but his success was so moderate that General Grant removed him.
Before that, however, General
Butler had shown his resources by the dispositions wh ich he took for the preservation of order in 1
6-t.

e ither the roughs of Five Points, nor the more polished traitors of
the Exchanges were able to take any advantage of him. After the close of the war, General Butler's active spirit found con genial occupation in the field of politics. We have seen how active he was
before the war as a politician of the D emocratic school.
He came out of
the conflict an equally radical Republican. The same activity wh ich he had u ed in behalf of the laboring people of Lowell i n the days of the ten-hour fight, he now exercised i n behalf of the down-trodden colored man. Although General B utler was a resident
of Lowell
the Republicans
of the Esse� district chose him to represent them i n Congress and he erved that district from 1 66 to 1 8 7 5 . Duri ng this time be w as very prom i nent in the

O n the currency question he took a

entiment of the district ; this fi nally lead to his defeat.

H e then
An element in the Repub
lican party, led by H on. E. Rockwood H oar, refused to support G eneral Butler, but he was elected.
From thi time, however, hi long con flict with
the controlling elements of his party began to h ave its effect in a gradual gravitation towards the Democracy. A s a Republican member of Congre s, General B utler had been a free l ance, but an eminent one.
It was he who in the presence of one of the
mo t brilliant assemblages of the age presented at the bar of the U nited States Senat;� the i mpeachment charges against A ndrew Joh nson, and did it in a m an ner worthy the audience.
In the settlement of the great ques

Pockets.
The catalogue says that young womrn are admitted to Colby on equal terms with young men.
\Vhatever " equal terms " may mean, it evidently
does not mean equal pockets.
The college girl, like other American
girl , is a victim to the dres mak er. Tbe latest atrocity committed i n the name of the fa hion fiend, is the abol ition of pockets.
Xo type of womanhood feels this i njustice more
keeoly than does the college girl.
In our own m idst, we m ight almost
trace her course from the l ibrary to the laboratory, aod from the laboratory to Ladies' H all by the handkerchiefs and pencils that follow in her train. Sooner or later the question arises : " What shall I do with my fountain pen " ?
Her more fortunate brother has answered the question even before
it is asked.
With a superiority of wh ich he is for once unconscious, he
quietly slips the troublesome article into hi pocket, and there it stay , right side up with care.
But the girl's fouc; tain pen eems to be pos essed by the
very imp of mischief.
I f it manages to stick by her, too often the conseÂ
quences are such that she wishes she had lost it like the last one, and the one before that.
I t frequently insi ts on standing on its head, while its
owner discovers that i nk, too, obeys the Jaw of gravitation. vVithout meaning to l)e personal or wandering from the truth, we can say that we once saw a college girl with a cloud of ink as " big as a man's h and " on her dress, caused by a fountai n pen. Again, the note-book quest.ion cau es serious perplexity. point comes up in class.
An interesting
The young man opposite slips his note-book
out of his pocket, jots it down and the thing is done ; while the college girl, who has just discovered that she has lost her pencil, is borrowing another, and looking around for an odd sheet of paper. Walter Be5ant, Howells, and other distinguished writers attribute their success to the fact that they always carry a note- book, and jot down the i ncidents w hich the world reads i n their next novel. 156
But if fame mu t be den ied a woman for the lack of a pocket what mu t be her feelinus on the
ubject ' hen she remembers that for her imple contrivance. I n the

Now i t came to pass i n the begi nning of the reign of Rex Whitman that he summoned before him t�e ruler and chief of the various depart ments of his kingdom, that they migh t consult to<T_e ther concerning the welian: of his ubjects. And lo, at the appo i n ted time they a sembled in the c ..mncil together, and passed decrees which should be for the well bein<T of the people. Now it seemed that in o ne of the provinces of the kingdom, where dwelt many of the m aidens of the realm, a mighty contention h ad ari en between the subjects and the ruler thereof. And it came to p a that the ruler of that province, bein unable to control ru mseli or h i ubjects, laid the m a tter before the K ing and the ch iefs of the kingdom. Thereupon it see med good to the King and h i councilor to i ue the following decree :-' Hereafter, i n the province_s of Ladie ' H all, the Palmer Hou e, and the Dunn H ouse, of the U nited K i ngdom of Colby, no a mbas ador hall be ad mi tted throu<Th the gates after ten · an dwhen the clock upon the Castle shall toll the econd hour before the coming of the new d ay, any foreigner who shall be sojnurnin within the wall hall depart for his own country." And it was also decreed that the ruler of those provinces should, at the appoi nted time, extinguish the lights · a nd ii any strancrer were found there, that they should expel him at once. And it was so. ow this decree was not agreeable to some of the young nobles of the kingdom, as they were wont to stop within the gates of these provinces until a m uch later hour. But it h appened that the ruler of the aforesaid p rovince was exceedin<T zealous in carrying out the decree of the King : so m uch so, that even the forty-eighth part of a day before the appointed time for the closing of the gates, he would shake the foundations of the province as he rattled away at the furnace below. In regard to the latter part of the decree, not much is written in the chronicles of the ki ngdom, save that the ruler of the province twice or thrice expelled from his gates certain of the nobles in a manner m ost un becoming a dignitary of such h igh e tatc. ow, as to the re t of t he decrees of the King and the enforcement thereof, behold ! is it not written in the records of the ecretary of the council, which are kept i n the archive.; of the kingdo m ? 167

W A TE R \'ILLE M E. , Oct. T , 1 892. OLD C H l'.M : As it is real quiet here to-night, and I am alone, I th ink I can spare a few min utes of my bu y life and tell you about some of the wonderful things we colleo-e men enjoy. I say I am alone ; but this is the fi rst night I can remember when the Sophomores have n t been in to see how I am gettino- alono-, - they do eem to enjoy me so m uch. Yes, J\1 --, colleo-e life does i mprove a man. can see a chanae in r.1yself already. You would hardly recognize me. And then we have such smart men to a sociate with. The first n ight I was here a S en ior came i n to call, and seemed really interested in me. He even told me that I could send my shirt and collar way down to the Portland laundry on the cars w ithout paying any expres . The S ophomores seem to like me real well, too. They don't seem to be at all bashful in a stranger's room. I k now I always feel bashful the fir t time I meet anybody. B ut I suppose college life has put a poli h on them. They are goi ng to teach me how to smoke, too, so I can get a scholarship. A scholarship is money that the college gives to needy pupils , and they told me I could n ' t get one u nless I smoked. I don't see how smoking shows that a fellow is needy · but of course a fellow that smokes does need more m oney than a fellow that does n't moke. I h ave n't joined any secret society yet. I am holding off. The Sopho mores all belong to 4> X , and they pay me so m uch attention I guess I shall join them next Monday n igh t, when they have their annual initiation. I have heard some awful stories about these secret societies, but I ain't afraid. All the non-secret societies seem to take to me real kindly. They have all given me a chance, and I have joined the ilase-ball S ociety, the Foot ball Society, the Re11ding Room Society, the Y. M. C. A., and lots of others that I don't remember the names of. 1 t costs money to be in all these thi ngs, but, I tel l you, it m akes a fellow feel good to pay his own bills like a man. Two or three days after we got here, the S ophs found out that we F resh men could play ball, so they tried us a game. The Juniors were real kind and came out to tell us how to play. All we had to give them was two barrels of cider and a load of fruit, and some other things. We were 'way ahead of the S ophs until the last i nning ; then they had a streak of luck and beat us by one run. I was awfully excited. I have to wear my old clothes now all the time. The Sophs throw water at some of my class, and yesterday they m ade a mistake and wet me three times. They felt real sorry about it. It is n i ne o'clock now, and I must go to bed. Write soon. LEvr.

With these words : " You are in a good college, and you are in a good college at a good time," spoken at the First Chapel in the fall of '891 by Dr. SmalJ, then just elected President, began a period which left a lasting record of increased strength and nobility i n the character of more than one of the students at Colby.
E arnest confident words l ike these were wel l
fitted t o ki ndle i n the student body a new loyalty a n u enthusiasm for their college, a loyalty and enthusiasm which have i ncreased with every year, until, to-day, Colby students are undoubtedly prouder of the college and more thoroughly devoted to its interests than at any previous time in i ts history. They have reason for i ncreased loyalty and pride.
U nder wisely proÂ
gressive leadership the college, " good ' as it has i ndeed long been, has been constantly growing better, as the plain facts of the present sketch will indicate. The greatest addition to the equi pment of the college in the last four years is the S han non Observatory and Physkal Laboratory, the corner stone of which was laid Sept. 26,
r
889.
A much larger number are now
able to take the elective courses i n Physics, and an advanced elective course for i ndependent investigation throughout the senior year h as been added. The Board of Conference was i nstituted at the beginning of this first year, '89-'90, and more especially during the past two years, has been a factor in college life of no l ittle influence. At the opening of 190-'9 r, the present system of co- ordi nate colleges for men and women took the place of co-educatio:i.
At the same ti n.e, the
teaching force was i ncreased by the election of A. J . Roberts, '90, as i nstructor i n Rhetoric.
Further additions were made the following year,
'91 -'92, when Anton M arquardt, Ph. D., became i nstructor in M odern Lan guages, and N . L. Bassett, '9 1 , instructor i n Greek.
By Dr. M arquardt's
election, Prof. H al l was enabled to devote his entire time to the library, so 172
that for the pa t two year it ha been open all day.
About 6,ooo volumes
have been added to the library in the four year . Turning to tudent activity. - inte re t in tenni has increased, new courts have been bui lt, a11d last year an intercolleo-iate tennis a sociation was formed and a tournament held.

commodious Ladies' Dormitory has been subscribed by the young ladies of the college. With the significant tatement that the number of students h as increased from 1 29 in ' 88-' 91 to 206 the present year, we close this rapid sketch of what all must agree has been a period of decided, though quiet advance at Colby U niversity.

Listen, and I will tell you their story.
I once spent a summer vacation at a short distance from an I ndian settlement, and as �very day different representatives of tbe tribe passed the house, I became interested to know more about them.
An opportunity was
not long lacking, and I had a chat with Sebenoa, their chief.
I any
i nteresting things did he tell about his people, but none interested me more than the traditions that had been handed down in his tribe from those who had lived along the Kennebec before the white man came. Suddenly he stopped in his story, and taking from his pocket a much worn roll of birch bark, he showed me the strar:ige characters cut in i t.
H is
face brightened as I asked h i m to tell me about it, for he was fond of repeating the story written on the sacred roll. Years and years ago, so ran the legend, when the red man wandered over the forests unrestrained, there dwelt at Teconnet, beside the Quini bequi, a happy and pt¡ace-loving people, the Abenaquiois. M ost beautiful was V iolatah, the chieftain's daughter, beautiful in face and character, a blessing to all her people.
She it was to whom the sick
turned for help, to her they looked for cheer and comfort. the tribe, none loved her more than \tV ahowa, the H opeful.
But among all Sunset each
night found him smoking at the door of Violatah's wigwam, listening to her love songs. As they sat thus happily together one spring evening, the cry arose,
" the Wawenocks, the Wawenocks " !
176
Well they knew, then, that their
neighbor had came in war upon them.
\Vahowa started for his arrows,
while Violatah weeping, murmured, " Be thou brave, my own Wahowa Thouah I love thee, I cannot keep thee.
!
Go and fight the fierce Waw

and bloody was the confl ict and when at last it was ended,

\Ve are now about half-a- mile from

\Ve have ju t entered the Kennebec river ; h ave left

In a few minutes we could reach the hore on either side, which is settled all the way, and which is beautifully shaded by trees.
I any of the houses
are good, some of them hand ome, and chief of them bespeak the neatness and industry of the owners.
I would, however remark that the mouth of
the river is barren and unpleasant, but the farther we advance the more pleasant it is. About four o'clock we arrived i n Gardiner, where we staid all nigh t.
It
i s a pretty place where considerable business i s tran acted. I n the morning we sailed for Augusta.
We passed by H allowell, which as we passed,
formed a very handsome appearance.
About eleven o'clock the vessel struck
aground, which prevented our goina so near A ugu t a as was inte nded Augusta is a very pretty town, situated on ri ing uround. \Vednesday, we h:ft the place and took one of those long boat which are m uch used i n the Kennebec, a nd wh ich, being made with a booth i n o n e end, are very convenient for the transportation of families a s well a s goods.
P art of the t i m e we could easily h a v e tept from the boat to t h e
shore, the distance w a s so s mall, w h i c h the brethren did several times, and 179
walked some way ;
ometim�s when the wind was unfavorable, it was
found neces ary to procure oxen, who, tanding on the water's edge with a rope fastened to them, which i fastened to tbe boat, m uch assists its motion.
We went along witb their assi tance, but as the wind was several

beginning to draw the curtain of darkness around us when we were three or four miles from Waterville, it was thought best not to proceed until the E arly Thursday morning we again
light of another day dawned upon us. set out.
A boat with two men and two women i n it was near us for a
considerable time.
They told us that they lived at Wi ndsor, on the
opposite side of the river from \Vaterville.
At \ indsor is a m eeting-house,
very pleasantly situated, but not supplied with a m i nister. I requested them to visit us on the S abbath and invite their nei""hbors, as there would be preach ing at Waterville, for we intended to have a meeting if M r. Chapl in should be obliged to follow the exam ple of the
po tie who preached in
h is own hired house.
At ten o'clock we arrived at \Vaterville i just before we reached the
shore we observed
a
nu mber of gentlemen comin<T towards us ; we soon
found their object was to welcome us to \ aterville.
Teams were immedi·
ately provided to carry our goods from the boat to the house wb ich is convenient and pleasantly situated.
It is rather retired from the thickest
of the village, altho' neighbors are handy. and seem quite friendly.
A
number have called upon us,
M any of tbose whom I have seen, appear to be
people of education and polished manners · nor are they destitute of places of public worship.
We were so happy as to find that \Vaterville contained
two, though neither of them elegant, or completely fin ished. Before the S abbath,
a
number of gentlemen waited upon M r. Chaplin,
and requested him to preach i n the meeting-house.
H e accordingly did,
and on the second S abbath, more people attended, it is said, than h ave been i n the house for three years past.
Christian friends from the distance of
two, four and six miles attended.
Already the l\Iacedonian cry from a
number of places is sounded in our ears. Since we came here, a weekly meeting has been established on Thurs day evenings, which is held part of the time at our house, and the other part at the schoolhouse, which
is more in the centre of the village.
There is also a monthly prayer meeting established. Both are well attended. 1 0

Those who are not i n direct touch with the students, notice a stranger among the familiar associations. gamated Association " ?
They naturally ask, ' What is the Amal
Courtesy demands an answer.
What is the origin of this association, i ts nature, its aim its attain ments, its future ?
I t came i n answer to the question, " How can the busi
ness management of our college organizations be improved ? "
The
m anagement of such interests was probably li ttle better and little worse than that of other colleges.
It is enough to note that eigh t men handled
the funds ; that each man h ad little connection with the other
·
that ac
counts were carelessly kept and seldom corresponded ; that every few years the liabilities of ome association was far in excess of its assets ; that the actual receipts and disbursements could rarely be accurately traced. These facts pointed to centralization of responsibility and of disbursing power in one person ; to some supervising and regulating factor ; to strict and accurate methods of collecting a nd expending money. The Amalgamated Association h as incorporated these elements.
It is
really a union of all the associations ; an organization of the whole student body. 1 90
The members of the association annually elect a president, a vice-presi dent, a secretary, a treasurer, and a board of trustees. The treasurer is a resident alumnus.
He receives and disburses all the
funds · h e alone pays bills against any of the associations ; h e is respon sible for every dollar, and, like treasurers of all well-ordered corporations, furn ishes bonds and vouchers for every cent.
The money is collected by a
ystem of checks, which prevents losses in that quarter. ex officio
The Board of Association Trustees is composed of four representative of the students, - the pre idents of the four organizations being members of the board, - and two members of the Faculty.
I t is the duty
of this board to direct the policy and methods of the associations and to audit all accounts.
I n fact, the A malgamated Association seems to strike
at the heart of the matter, ince it en ures permanency and conti nuity of policy. centralizes responsibility, and enforces absolute accuracy. Though the association has been i n force but a few months, it h as already accomplished beneficent results.
It b as forced the conviction upon the
students that care m ust be taken i n the conduction of college business mat ters.
M embers of organizations know how, when, and where every dollar
has gone.
Lar�ely for this reason they I ave been this year especially loyal
to college i nterests.
ever. in the bi tory of the college h ave the students

Time will bring changes, but this association in some form will

CO LU M BU S DAY. Columbus D ay, 1 892, was a day long to b e remembered at Colby ; for did we not on that day forget our ordmary cares, and spare neither time nor expense in paying honor to h i m who discovered our noble land ?
We cer
tainly did ; and Colby's part on Columbus day was surely not one to be ashamed of. The exercises were held i n the chapel i mmediately after prayer . Dennis in an iconoclastic oration, completely shattered our ideal Colum bus · but l\ I iss Beede's poem came next, and the audience was again soothed to quiet.

N ever before the fall of 1 892 did political enthusiasm in Colby run so high
as
to suggest the formation of campaign clubs ; probably because the 197
Democrats h ad always been too few in numbers to offer any opposition to their more numerous Republican fellows.
H owever, as the Campaign of
'92 advanced, the Democratic students, desirous of showing their loyalty to their party, decided to form a club. Accordingly, on the evening of October 3 1 st, a nurn ber of zealous young D emocrats met in Room 3 2 ,
. C . , with J . S . Lynch in t h e chair.
A constitution was adopted, officers were elected, and the first Colby Democratic Club was formed.
Three ringing cheers were gi ven for CleveÂ
land and S teven:,on ; and the Republicans were aroused from their lethargy by the cry : ' Colby D emocratic Club,
Rab ! ' Rah !
Rah
!
Kings of the college, yes we are " ! ! On the evening of ' ov. 5 th, an enthusiastic rally was held i n the college chaptl.
The spe akers, H on. Charles F. Joh nson, Democratic
candidate for governor. and I-Ton. S imon S. Brown, were escorted to the hall by the club and the Waterville M ilitary Band.
The room was gaily
decorated with bunting, and back of the rostrum was draped an immeP.se Democratic banner.
To add dignity to the occasion, several of the college
professors were seated on the platform.
M r. Bowman made a short
speech on the origin and purposes of the club.
He was followed by
M r. Johnson and M r. Brown, who addressed an i n terested and enthusiastic audience.
The rally was closed with three ti mes three rousing cheers for
the candidates. When the dawn of the 9th came round, news was fl ashed over the wires that gave the Colby Democrats right good reason to rejoice ; and rejoice they did often to the discomfiture of their down-hearted opponents. On the evening of November 23rd, the Waterville Democrats paraded to celebrate their victory. pated.

The boys rode in a gaily-decorated barge, from which issued a
continuous stream of fireworks. Over their heads were borne t ransparencies expressive of the occasion. The enthusiasm of the club on this triumphant ride was exceeded only by the noise i t made.
And when the parade was
over, the boys returned to the campus, well satisfied with themsel ves and their work : they had organized Colby's fir!.t Democratic Club, and helped win a great victory. 19

In years past, Colby has been so purely Republican that the whole college could easily be voted a Republican club, without formal organiza tion.
i.. ast fall the Democrats were so numerous that a club was formed
and a rally held. O n the 2 5 th of October, the Republicans held a mas
meeting i n the
ch apel, adopted a constitution and elected officers. Preparations for a rally were h indered by some difficulty in securing speakers.
F i nally, Hon. Leslie C. Cornish, of

and Prof. S h ailer Mathews, of Waterville, were secured. The night appointed, rov. 7 th, was rainy and dism al, but could not dampen the enthusiam of H arrison's supporters.

I t falls t o t h i s ,·ol ume of the O R A C L E to chronicle t h e advent of a new Gret k-letter fraternity at Colby. The large i ncrease in the number of student has, for se,·eral year , made apparent the need of a new fraternity here. To meet this want the Gamma A lµha Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega was established at Colby on the 2 5 th of June, 1 8 9 2 . The fraternity of Alpha Tau Omega was founded at the V i rginia i\ f ili tary I nstitute, R ich mond. Va . . September 1 1 , 1 6 5 . I t b as h ad a remarka bly succes ful career, and now n umbers fifty Chapters, scattered from i\C aine to California, and from ;\l ichiuan to Florida. It also h as thirteen Alumni Chapters, and its total membership is o,·er 5 000. The badge of the fraternity is a maltese cross of gold and black enamel, and its colors are sky blue and old gold. The official organ of the fraternity is the A lplui Tait Omega Palm, p ublished at Chicago. The Gamma Alpha Chapter has been fortunate in h aving, from the start, the good will and encouragement of the other fraternities. 20G

D uring the spring of '92, the D ramatic Club played Goldsmithâ&#x20AC;˘s comedy, " S he Stoops to Conquer," with the largest ad\'ance sale of tickets ever reuistered i n \ aterville. rgent appeals came from all side to ha\'e the comedy repeated at \Vaterville. ¡ Offer to support the club in playing at other M aine cities were n umerou , but circumstances prevented the club from acceding to the wishes of their friends. But this season the people of \Vaterville and friends of Colby h ad another opportunity of enjoying fine comedy presented by am ateur talent of a high order. The critical c lture of \\"aterville pronounced the actinu of the club Ia t year the fi ne t performance ever seen i n the city, not exceptina the majority of profes ional work, and the club is stronger, in some respect this year than it was last.

B A S E - B A L L AT C O L B Y : The enth usiasm for
� ase-ball,
which the average Colby boy of to-day
has, is no new thing. EYer since there has been . uch a game, it has been the leading feature of Colby's athletics.
The Base-ball Association has always
received the hearty support and co-operation of the student body, and this fact accounts, i n a great measure, for the success which our nine h as achieved in past years. But base-ba!l at Colby has not always been as it is to-day, a game requiring a man's coolest self-possession, sound judgment, level-headedness, and practical common. sense. It has gone throu<Yh the various stages of growth, from the old-fa!>hioned round ball of fifty years ago, to the scien tific game of to-day. We hope our readers will find the following brief sketch of base-ball, as it has been played at Colby, interesting enough to repay the trouble of reading it. Base-b a ll was introduced into Colby in the fall of '6 5 .
'6 r ,
by the class of
The members of the class most prominent in the introduction of the
game were C. V. H a nson, Portland, W. H. Lambert, Auburn, A. D. Small, Carmel, and Austin Thomas, Waterville.
They were among the youngest
men of the class. In the spring of
'62,
D.
P.
Morgan of N ew London, N. H . , entered
this class and soon proved to be the best all-round player o n the campus. Very few of the other classes took any interest in the game. tion was then given to athletics.
Little atten
The war was in progress, and its excite
ments gave diversion to the students. Lambert was generally· catcher, and H anson, pitcher, though these positions were often filled by others. The name of the first club was " Lincoln," in honor of the great war President.
The game, though much more loosely played than at present,
was substantially the same.
B alls ancl strikes were seldom if ever called. 222
i\ l e n on third base generally waited for a pas ed ball to secure their man ; more men were put out between the bases than at present, though there were not as m any left on bases. The pitcher k new nothing of curve , and delivered the ball with straight arm, and, of course, slowly, as compared with his successor of to-day. F ielding was then no pastime
·
indeed, the men both on the in and out
fields were obfi<Yed to spend the most of the time in chasing the balls ; more balls were caught on the fly than now. Base-ball at t is time was pre-eminently a Freshman game, and the n ines were composed of the members of this class, with a few sy mpathetic Sophomores. O f discipline there was none.
There was no pennant to win or lose · no
m atched games between the classes or with outsiders were played the first year. The boys played for exerci e and fun, and got both.
I n those days
there was no ' Gym., ' only a few pieces of apparatus scattered around out of door .
Then the game was a recreation and not a task.
The intensity
o f present day bail playin<Y was unknown ; ma k , coats of m ail, and spiked shoes had not been thought of.
One of the ablest players of this
time even played on crutches ! The first regular game of base-ball was played on the Colby campus in 1 6.+.

I ntercollegiate games wer� not often played in Maine in the first years of the Colby nine, but they won many games from nines i n neighboring towns. During the years ' 7 2-'76, the Colby Base.ball Association was organ ized with the regular officers which it h as to-day.
A. W. Smal l was
the first manager of the team, and it was u nder his direction that the present grounds were laid out and the first un iforms that the college team ever wore were purchased. With these better equipments the team did better work, and as a con sequence more interest was taken in the team and its work.
Among the
players during this term were Woodsum, D rummond and Chase.
From
'76- 80 the association became a permanent college organization, and its officers were elected for each year. In

nine was composed of giants - a tremendous team at batting.
There was one game played on the campus, when Worcester lifted the ball over the bank by the Gymnasium for a home run.
H e was followed
by Andrews with a beautiful drive over centre that would have given him a home run if the fielders had not been playing nearly out to Coburn Hall. Probably the best all-round player during '80-'84 was Doe, '8-1-.
For
three years he played behind the bat, and then i n the box. In '8-1- he pitched some astonishingly fi ne games, and with good reason, for he was backed by men who, though not remarkable as batters, could play a nearly perfect fielding game, and i t might be edifying for to-day's enthusiasts to look over the scores in the '84 Echo.
Probably the most exciting game of the year on the campus was the game with Bowdoin that gave Colby the ch ampionship by a score of Both teams outdid themselves, for Bowdoin has never had a better 4- o. nine than that on which were Torrey, Cook, Wright, Waterman and Pushhor. The crisis came i n the ninth inning ; Bowdoin b ad three men on bases and only one out, but Doe's cap was oo the ground ; the boys played like clock-work, and a foul-tip and a pop-up did the business. 224
Probably in some few points the game is different to-day from that ten years ago, but i t will be h ard to persuade the 8-t boys that there ever was a better, cleaner, more desperate set of players, or cooler team work, or better captaining than i n the year they graduated. D uring the season of '8 -t, Bowdoin and Colby m ade up the college league, B ates h aving decided not to play, and M aine S tate College h ad not been admitted to the league.

him a man, in moral as well as physical strength. The fire of determi nation was i n h is eye as he stepped to the plate ; but one ball was pitched to him and that one he sent for a home run away over the centre fielde r's head probably the longest bit ever made in a college league.

This shows the length of the

That had the effect of ' rattling ¡ our boys quite perceptibly and with that sudden and unexpected turn of affairs so characteristic of base-ball, Bowdoi n walked away with the game, and with i t the championship for '8 5 . There were other interesting games that season, one o f which w a the opening game played with B ates on her grounds.

The Lewiston Journal characterized
one inning, four of which \Vere made largely through the head work of Webber, the Colby first baseman.
as " the most brilliant piece of base-ball strateay ever e nacted upon a diamond." 225
With the same person11d of players, Colby entered the field the next season to find in Bates a powerful rival.
H er battery was compo ed of two
old and experienced players, Underwood and Sanford.
By magnificent up ¡ hill work throuuh the season, we succeeded in tying her for the first place. The tie was played off at Portland, and Colby won the game 2-0, and re tored the championship to its accustomed place. I t was a most exci ting game several Bates men beinu cut off at home plate on the point of scoring. fair resume of tliat season's work :

The games were all well contested, yet from the beginning there was little doubt as to the result. The seasons of ' and 89, Colby dropped the pennant. This was not due to lack of work or men for ome of the best men that have ever played ball at Colby were on the nine during this time. Wagg, '90, began on second in the season of "87, and was a brilliant player. He was captain of '90, and by his efforts the pennant again floated He was backed by a strong team, among whom were Gilman, catcher, Roberts, centre field, and Parsons, third base. Though the nine lost several good men by the graduation of 190, yet the season of

'91 found a strong team in the field.
Parsons was catcher and captain, and
h e guided the team through another season, and brought the championship again to Colby. Thus we find that Colby has h ad the championship rather the lion' share of the time.
This has been due to the team work and the support
which the students and friends h ave always given.
