or ever wielded i t with more pride, than do I in publish ing to the world the grand and glorious career of the class of

'94

so full of achievement anci

uccess, and the promise

of truly marvelous thing . Four year that ever entered Colby.

ago we were fre hmen - the largest class

' e were not, however, the freshest clas by any means,

as our p redeces ors could well testify. We have had our share of trial , but we have born e them nobly, and as befi tted uch a cla .

Co-ordination had its inception with u s ; and if anyone

think i t a succe , i t i because " Cu pid " i among us. \ e have always done ju t about a we pleased ; and it is needless to add that

we have n e'er stained our fair escutcheon with the slightest blot.

In Athletics we

won the i n ter-class base-ball cup as Fre hmen, and never since has it left ou r possession .

I n rushes we never failed to hold our own, even when all the other

classes were combi ned agai nst us.

Th:i.t we excel i n the cla

room , " anta " can

testify ; for we " pulled " the best rank ever take n by a class i n 1echanics. n d so i t has been all through our cour e . that could be said.

Yolume would not contain all

As we prepare to leave these loved �ce nes, never to return

as students, we bear with u s remembrances of the happie t days of our lives, and as we pass out over the thre hol d of our Alma 1ater, amid the plaudits of professors and u nderclassmen, may the::;e four college years r:ove golden links to chain together the memories of our l ives.

H i s torg THE members of the Colby fami ly hailed with deljght the advent of a lu ty pair of twin , and amused the newcomers with

horns and other playthings for a t i m e ; then they had to look out for them elves. The e l ittle twins were chri tened " '9 7, " and i t is about

the little girl '97 that 1 wish to tell you.

fother Colby had already brought up a large family and k new what their training should be ; so, almo t as soon as they made their appearance, the twins were sent to school .

ow ' hen the f am ily

a embled for prayer , the twins were not allowed to mingle with the re t, but were placed by the mselves on the fart he t side of rhe room. The little girl ' 9 7 , though, nearly a large as her brother, ornetimes almo t pu hed rum out of his eat ; o he had to go and s i t on an old ettee. The maiden got along very well, for he was obedient aad tudious ; but when he heard that he mu t be m a triculated -he wa greatly frightened . he wondered what it meant, and if it was anything like what her sister,

did to her

Halloween. ' 9 6 rea u red her, and aid that be had beea through the experience, and it did not hurt. 1 hus encouraged, he went to the chapel, where a kj d gentleman patted her on the head, and told her to write her name, or print i t i f she c ould not write, i n a big book, and prom i e that he \\"ould be gocd a long as she went to his school. Then he wi hed i t wa like Halloween, for then

'96

gave her some

nice t h i ng t o eat and this ge ntleman did n't ; but he gave her a big piece of paper, with wri t i ng and printing on it, certifying that he wa a good girl and might attend school there. ci e

By and by '.Iother Colby thought ' 9 7 wa tudying too hard and needed exerÂ Âˇ so she eat her to the gyrnna ium. There a teacher bowed her how to do 36

all sorts of wonderful things.

At last she got so she could t h row h e r clubs n e arly

the length of the room, swing way across the rings, if some one pushed h e r, and even vault ove r the bar when it was up real high, i f there were plenty of matÂ t resses u nderneath .

So little ' 9 7 grew to be the envy of her brothers and sisters, and the pride of

h e r mothe r ' s h eart. When her fi rst term a t school was through, and she brought home h e r first " Reward of M e rit," M o t h ďż˝ r Colby patted her on the head and told h e r friends that undoubtedly her youngest was going to be t h e smartest i n the family. Whether this will prove true or not we cannot tell ; but certainly her fut u re is p ro m ising, for one o f h e r teach ers has said, " She i s a very homely little girl, b u t she d o e s study h e r b o o k well " !

Ah . Could I have struck a more responsive chord ?

For instantly t here comes up to the memory of alumnus and u pper- classman alike, d istinct visions of revels and episodes of the pa t. Perhaps he remembers He ee i n

H e perceives, in

recollect ion, an atmosphere d i m and hazy with nicotine vapors, and a floor deftly trewn with bit

of paper, worn out peanut shell , and th� like.

Such was the

reading room of the past, hallowed by the i m pressive rite of the A h . Skyward 'ociety and the m y tic trains of Phi Chi, whose wee t pirit i s now at re t. But let us turn the page and behold the read i n g room of to-day. hi tory.

In the early part of the present college year, it becam e the general

opinion o f students and faculty that the reading room of the future must be a read ing room i n fact, a well a in name. heartily supported by all.

A reform movement was agitated , and

O ffi cers were chosen ; fond were subscribed ; work

was begu n in earnest ; and the result is the improved reading room of the present, one o f the most i m portant i nnovations of the year.

As you step into the room,

plea antly tinted wall meet the eye. Tf'lt0le papers adorn the rack . You notice ,

too, that the Ii t on file has been i mproved and enlarged. Long tables loaded with the best illu trated weeklies and monthlies invite you ; while the m ost notable feature of all is the many comfortable chai rs scattered here and there . The whole room is well lighted by electricity, and the oil tank i

no longer a disturbing

element i n the oil market. uch i the read ing room of the present.

The Athletic E xhibition. )

OR the last two or three years the conviction has been gradually forcing itself upon the minds of undergraduates and alu mni, that athletic work at Colby is

on the decline.

It is not the purpose of this article to engage in a discussion of

the causes leading up to this condition, but simply to describe the effort which has been made, the past winter, to revive interest i n this branch of college work. ince

Colby has given no public Athletic E xh ibition, although it has been

the fond hope and pet scheme of the Gymnasium I nstructor each year.

As to

the causes, there i s a diversity of opinion ; but the chief reason seems to have been a grad ual death of athletic spirit among the boys .

This year, as usual, Prof.

Currie began, at the opening of the winter term, to talk and work for an exhibiÂ tion ; and, as usual, little heed was paid to his exhortations.

At length, however,

his earnestne s and enthu iasm enlisted the interest of the upper-classmen .

After

considering the matter, i t seemed that i f an athletic exhibit ion could be worked up, i t might carry with i t enthusiasm enough to revive athletic spirit along other lines.

Accordingly the matter was laid before the Athletic Association, and it

was voted to assume the responsibility for a n exhibition to be given toward the close of the term.

Pepper,

tu mblers, with good results.

9 , was secured as trainer for the bar- men and

Considerable enthusiasm was arouďż˝ed among the

boys a t large ; and during the time that Mr. Pepper was with u , a number of new athletes were developed, while the old ones showed rapid improvement.

Some

nr.w tricks were learned, the old ones were perfected, and the whole systematized. At the e nd of two weeks and a half, the opening of the Bru nswick M edical . chool deprived us of the services of 1'Ir. Pepper, although h e continued to come u p twice a week, to criticise and suggest, until the time of the exhibition . The exhibition itself, which was given in the City H all, March whole successful, though a failure from a financial standpoint.

was on the

Although well

advertised, the attend ance was much smaller than might have been expected, and

in conseque nce the

ssoc iation fai led to cover expenses.

The performance went

off with scarcely a hitch from start to fi n ish, remarkably well in view of the fac t that most of the m e n were passing th rough a n e w experience.

The competitive

class drills were deci ded in favor of the class of ' 9 7 , which pre ented a dumb-bell drill.

One of the features of the exhibition wa s the club swinging, by "\\ hitman ,

'94, and Padelford, ' 9 6 .

Their exhibi tion of torch- club swinging was the fi rst of

the kind in this part of the country, and was very fi nely executed .

Another

feature was the performance of Mr. E d Brown, of Bath, i n his trapeze act. Mr. · B rown i s an expert in mid-air acrobat ic , and his work on tbe t rapeze called forth considerable applau e fro m the audience.

The pyramids, with which the exh ibi

tion closed , went off very smoothly, and much credit i s due to the leader, Clark, '94,

for the success with which this part of the programme was carried out.

dance at the c lo e of the exhibi tion fini hed t � e evening very enjoyably. O n the whole, the ou tlook for another year is very e ncouraging.

Much good

material exists in the college, wh ich will, at the beginning of another year, be i n better shape to work u p an exhibition.

1uch valuable experience has been

gained, and an e nthusiasm remain

hould en u re, for another year, an

which

exhibi tion which will be as much better than that of t h i s year, as that was better tha n none.

I n closing, we would expre s our hearti est than k

to M r . Charles

Wheeler for so kind ly a s isting u s in the tumbling, and also t o Prof. Currie, whose untiring enthusiasm and devotion contributed in no small mea ure to the success of the exhibition.

A little Freshman climbed a enior' knee , Be�ged for a storr - " Do tell me, please, Why are you lame o - can ' t walk at all ? \ hy are n't you out with u , playing foot-ball " ? I u ed to play it, long year ago ; \\Thy I can' t now, dear, you soon " ill know. I had a leg once - broke it, that ' all ; I did it pla)"ing after the ball." .-\ fter the game is o,·er, after the crowd has fled, A fter the dead are buried, after the wounded, dead ; :\!any the bones are broken, if you could count them all, ::\!any the heads that are aching after the ball.

" Bright star were fta bing through my battered brain, K icks and blo.,,.-s upon m e fell like da hing rain ; Then came a blank, dear, I t ook a fall, And ighed for water, after the brawl. When I came to again, t here stood a man awing my leg off, as doctor can. o now I ' m crippled - no leg at all Which comes from playing after the ball." H. 96

made.

Once o rganized , the progress of the Quartette was swift a n d sure, being materially hastened by our leader's long m usical experience with a country band . O u r fi rst rehearsals were held in t h e college dormitories ; and d u ring these performances the Quartette would be rou ndly anath ematized by those studiously bent. But with minds wilfully oblivious of all invective, doubtless well m erited, and with h earts equally i m pervious t o piteous pleadings for cessation, the s in ge rs would continue to let their sweet v o ices be hea r<l upon the a i r. O nly good results could be the outcome of uch assiduous p ractice, and, in the minds of the Quartette at least, a h igh degree of m usical ex cellence was quickly attained. At last, when t hat d egree of p roficiency was arrived at that a selection could be complete d only two tones flat, and the Firs t Tenor could remember a few o f t h e words, we began t o frame t h e b o l d p roject of giving public concert . A church sociable was t h e scene of o u r maiden attempt, on which occasion we performed . our part with c redit t o ou rselves, gai ning the gracious applause o f our indulgent audience, whic h , i n the belief of the writer, was the only thing we gained . The future success of the Quartette was now folly assured. It had actually secu red an opportu nity to sing before t h e public, had made its debut withou t breaking down, and its incipient fame began to be h erald ed t h roughou t the college town. Lauda tion greeted u s on all sides, a n d o u r leader's pomposity began t o develop. A fter we had thus amply demonstrated the fact that we could sing, ou r senices were i n great d e m a n d , and i n m a n y a l o c a l e n tertainment did t h e Quartette participate. Nor was our fame confined to our college town. As, when a stone is thrown i n to the water, the wavelets recede in u n d ulating c i rcles from the centre, so the c ircle o f our renown set in m otion by a Baptist sociable, pread far and wide. -eigh boring towns heard o f ou r vocal ability, engagement. resul ted, and ere long we were g iv.ing entertainments in remote ections of the tate. We were everywhere ki ndly recei, e d ( before the concert) . In the mid t of such uccess we could not forget that, while we were a quartette, we were a class quartette. H e nce every call made u po n us by our class met with loyal response, and a t reception or banquet our strains of rippling m elody oft were heard, and '94 gloried i n her quartette. So passed our Fresh man year. The summer vacation necessitated a temporary d isbandment, but the opening term of our ophomore year b rought u s together once more with the determination to outd o, in t h e year t hat lay before u , all our former efforts in the m usical line. \\ e were n o longer a Freshman quart e tte. A s ophomores, larger fi e lds and n ew conquests awaited u s . ·

We applied ourselves to practice with renewed zest, and soon had a full and varied repertoire. Thus equipped, we sallied forth prepared to furnish music of all klnds, " funer ( e ) al music a specialty." The fiat had gone forth, and the Glee Club which, during the past year, had existed in an embryonic state, and of which the '94 Quartette was the nucleus, was to take an extended tour through足 out the State . A programme was drawn up, and the Quartette, its merit duly recognized, was assigned a selection. Right well did we sustain the confidence placed in us, and night after night the soothing strains of " A Father's Lul足 laby " calmed many a troubled heart. The trip was a grand success every way but fi nancially, and the Quartette won fre h laurels. Thus the months glided by and t he Commencement season was at hand, d u ring which we reaped a rich harvest. The plea i ng recollections of our experience at H oulton and Foxcroft are still fresh within our minds. The close of another college year brought a suspension of our labors. During the J unior year the " Colby Quintette '. ' was formed, and flaming pos足 ters dotted the landscape announcing " Grand Concerts " ! and cautioning the public not to fail hearing " Prof. Kleinhans, the Wh istler, and J . Colby Bassett, Banjo soloist." All our concerts given during the season of '93 were of a high order, thus ably assisted by the above- mentioned celebrities. In the winter Jake left us to assume the rluties of a pedagogue and " Parme " substituted, pe rforming his part in a highly efficient manner. The year was marked by many strange exploits, the Glee Club' tour " down Ea t " being very prolific of adventure. Our J unior year passed all too soon, and the curtain rose on the final act in the college d rama. The Glee Club has not been reorganized since its disbandment, and the Quartette is now left sole m usical factor, of true note, of the college. Thus far the year has been fraught with more than ordinary success and pleasure. The faithful practice of four years is beginning to bear fruit, and the Quartette is shedding its mantle of amateurism for one o f professionalism. Our work shows more finish, and our voices, they tell us, blend finely. Without doubt, could we remain together, the Quartette i n a few short years would establish for i t elf a world-wide reputation ; but all earthly things have an end, and in a few short weeks the Colby '94 Quartette will have ceased to exist as an active musical organ ization, and its deeds will have passed i nto history, fur足 ni b ing traditions for future college generations. With genuine adne s do we contemplate the separation which soon must take place. For four years we have 11l

been almo t i nseparable partners in prosperity and adversity. \Ve have been acÂ tive in the interests of church and school ; we have raised ou r voices in the house of festivity and the house of mourning, i n the concert hall and about the banquet . table. Kindne and con ideration have everywhere been hown us, which we truly appreciate Âˇ and we have greatly widened the circle of our a cquaintances. Our earnest hope i , that people have enjoyed hearing u s sing a much as we have enjoyed inging together for their benefit. In n o case have we acted with malicious intent. And now the Quartette makes it bow, and bid its patrons a n affectionate farewell.

H E retirement of Prof. John Barton Foster from the chair which he has so long held in Waterville College and Colby University is an event of deep significance, since i t calls to mind an im pressive life work. In this world of many changes it i s quite u n usual for a person to remain i n one official posi tion for a period of thirty- five years, and especially so, when the position i s a trying and responsible one. There is no severer test of what is i n a person than time. A superficial nature m ay e ndure for a season, but many years d raw u pon the dept/is of a man. Prof. Foster has triumphantly stood the test of long service. The recent successes of Colby n iversity are popularly traced to the large financial endowments which the College has been fortunate enough to receive from noble benefactors. And such endowments have indeed bee n the i mmed iate occasion of tbe great progress real ized i n these latter decades ; but not all, even of the friends of the College, d uly remember that Colby's chief endowm ents have been m en and not rnoney. It i s through her earl ier professors, their devoted piety, robust e nd urance and conspicuous ability, that the i nstitution survived at all, and at length, after the long, patient, heroic struggle, was end owed with genÂ erous means. It is really these men who had stuff e nough i n them to weather the long gale of adversity that brought the money i n later years. They proved to sagacious men oi wealth that there was something here to e ndow. From the standpoint of future years it will be see n, i f it i not already perceived, that on the whole the survival and the fame of ou r beloved Alma Mater are pivoted, not so m uch upon m oney endowmen ts, as u pon such men as Jam es Tift Champlin, Samuel King Sm ith, Charles Edward H amlin, John Barton Foster, Moses Lyford, and othe rs of their mould. And as the older graduates, re iding in all parts of t his country, have learned of the retirement, one after another, of these veterans of t he Faculty, until now the last one has gone, we find a m ingling of grati tude and regret i n our hearts. \Ve rejoice in the brilliant successors that have been fo u n d f o r them, but t h i s d o e s n o t hinder the sad n ess we feel t h a t tlzey a r e gone. With each such change the Coll ege i other than it u sed to be to us. We feel someÂ thing as the country has done - in deed, as the sold iers of the G rand Army have, 1 15

a the heroe of our Civil \\'ar - Grant and Logan and Garfield and Sherman, have been removed, one after another, from the " land they ba\Âˇe helped to save." They were no longer really necessary to our exi te nce, a they have been, but we hate to spare them from the large place they have occupied in the n ion and in our hearts. o, it is with reluctance that we see our veteran professors y ielding the chairs they have o long occupied and o long honored. Prof. Fo ter's resignation o f the chELir of Greek at last Commencement occasion a renewal of the regret felt in previous years a other of the old Faculty have in turn retired from their re pective chairs. But our natural regret at these changes is not our theme. \Ye, the older graduates, i ncrea ingly feel the debt of gratitude which we owe to the e men who have so ably served us and the niversity o f which we have occasion to be proud. This brief notice of the llfe and work of our reverend teacher of the ancient languages is expre ive of our desire to recognize his great service and to do him honor for the ame. We are not attempting to estimate what has been accomplishe d by this useful life, which happily for us is not yet ended, but only to put forth such reflection as his pupils and friends naturally cheri h on the event of his ceasing hi active connection with the College as Profes or of Greek. John Barton Fo ter was appropriately born i n the " Athen of America," early iu 1 22. A t the age of ix or even years he came from Bo ton to \\ aterville, where he has :;pent nearly the whole of h is life. H e received hi early education i n the public schools of the town and in Waterville ca<lemy. He was one of the first pupils in this latter i n titution, which was opened i n 1 29 with the late Hon . Henry \V . Paine, o f B o ton, a s Principal. Between the years o f I 3 6 a n d 1 3 he had a ta te of the practical by working at a mechanical trade. In l , 38 h e began to prepare f o r College i n the local Academy, then u n d e r the tuition of Principal 1 . G . Roger . In Augu t, 1 39, he was admitted to Waterville College, and was graduated io 1 4 3 in the same cla s as the late Prof. Mo es Lyford . For the two years ucceed i ng his grad uation he was engaaed in teaching in the academie of China, l\Iaine, aud Lexington, l\Iass. A sense of duty pre ed h i m , i n 1 4 6, to resign his position at Lexington and e n t e r at o n c e u p o n the w o r k of the Ch ristian m inistry, to which he had devoted his life. The Baptist Church, of Gardiner, claimed h i first services as m ini ter of the \ ord . "Unhappily for all concerned the young pastor's health failed, and h e was c ompelled to resign his work i n April, 1 4 7 . H e sufficiently regained h i s health, however, after a few m onth ' re-pite, to enter N ewton Theological I nstitution in the autumn of 1 8 4 7 . Before h i s graduation, i n August o f 1 5 0 , he was called t o take the editorial 1 16

charge of the Zion's Advocate. H e con t i nued at this i m portant post of service with much credit to himself for eight years, when in September, 1 5 , h e was called to Wate rville College to assume the duties of the chair of Greek and Latin, vacated by the accession of Dr. J. T. Champ l i n to the Presiden cy of the College. This po ition h e held until 1 873, when the departm ent was d ivided , and from that year he occupied the chair of the G reek language to the t i me of his resignation, m 1 93. As incidental to his college duties, the main work of his life, Prof. Foster has done valuable serv ice for the educational and rel igious i n terests of the com mun ity i n which he has l ived, and of the State at large. As teache r of an adult Bibl e class for more than thi rty years - as member of a standing com mittee of the church for about the same length of time - as treasurer of the church for several years - as supervisor of the public schools in Waterville - as occasional pre ache r in the various pulpits of the State - and especially as t reasurer of the Baptist tate Convention for thi rty years, h e has accomplished au amou n t of good that is not easily measured and hould not be forgotten because i t has bee n subo rdinate t o b i great life work. The service done the State Conven tion is noteworthy for unfal tering fi delity and efficie ncy, and the Convention o n accept ing h i s resignation as treasurer, last year, very appropriately puts on record that he " has ever been an able and faithful custodian of his great t rust. H is self sacrificing labors have ea ily made him one of the conspicuous benefactors of this m issio nary body, and have placed the deno m i nation under great and abiding obligations to him for bis untiring zeal and ceaseless vigilance in the d i charge of h i arduous d uties. His accou nts have been models of neat ness and accuracy, and he has enjoyed the u nshaken confidence of all those who have been i ntimately associated with him in the work of this organization . " The last sentence of this m i nute recalls to the m ind of the writer the emhu iastic a ppre ciation, often privately exprl:!ssed, of the reve rend former Secretary of the Con vention, the Rev. Dr. R icker, of Prof. Foster as an officer who firmly guarded the resources of the Treasury and wi ely cherished its efficiency. In looking back to college days, we, his pupil , remember Professor Foster as a man of large mental i n tegri ty, of broad and balanced conception , and of thorough culture . Before coming to hi Professorsh i p he had had the advantage o f a varied experience - as a student, a teacher, a p reacher and a j ournali t, and all th rough his life h e remained in contact with the p ractical matters of busi n ess and of life generally. Th ese varied elements of culture and experience formed the basis for his well-rounded character. There were n o gaps i n his 117

think i ng - no soft s pots i n hi make u p . H i s learn ing seemed faultless. Solidity a n d rrrace we re the great factors of the man. I n h i m were m ingle d the prose of the sou ndest common sense and the poetry of t ranscendent thou gh t . He h a d t h e m o d e t sobriety of his adopted t a t e and t h e elegance o f h i s native Boston . Without doubt the long study of the G reek lan guage developed the innate polish of his mind. H e d rank continually a t the Pierian spri ng. H is lips were ever wet with C astalian dews. H e wore t h e robes of c\as ic learning with a n ative ease and dignity . He carried a delightfully cool brain over a warm heart. An air of scholarly lei ure characterized his hardest work . r o confu i o n ever e ntered h i s brain nor commun icated i tseli to other minds. N i neteenth Centu ry hurry neve r lost h i m h i s splend id mental poise, nor t angled the precise th inking of his orderly brain. The extent of h is mental furni hing a n d acquirements was remarkable. H e was not m erely a Greek scholar, but wa s acquainted with a "·ide range of learning and literature that wa a t all t i m es at hand for use. He could quote ad libitum et literatim from Latin, G reek a n d E ngl ish a uthors, and to fi t any thought or o c c a ion . H is memory n e v e r s e e m e d to yield what was o n c e i n h i s pos ession . Prof. Foster ought t o h ave been famous - h e would ha e been, but for the limitation of physical infirmity - h e is famous, so to speak , to all who k now h i m . I n the c l a s room D r. F o ter was u niformly polite i n his address to stud ents. o snarling word ever c a m e from the chai r of G reek. The polish of our Profes or's mind and the kindly grace of his heart controlled his mann ers. While communicat ive a nd mea u rably familiar, he never lowered h i mself to en gage i n any u nd ign i fied d iscu ion . He pos essed a rare ability to regulate the decorum of his clas.:;e . Only a very few were obtu e e nough ever to presu m e u p o n h i s genial b� a r i ng a n d the general freedom of h is class room. I t w a s f a r m ore e a s y i n his p resence t o be gentle manly t h a n ungentlemanly. B o t i f o n e w a s perverse e nough to b e boori h or d i sre pectful, he w a s sure to m e e t w i t h a n u n pleasant fate . N o torm cloud o f wrath e\·er a rose i n that room, but a cert a i n uoisele s lightning glimmered - certa i n fl.a he of w i t and a rcasm played about the offender which effectually d i couraged any further experi m ents i n that line. Prof. Foster's method of defending h i m elf and main taining b i s d ignity before h i s classes, in the rare c ases when it was nece�sary, was u nique. \Ve have never seen the like. He had learned the rare art of wielding satire - that dangerou s weapon - with safety and e ffectiveness. H e could adm inister t h e aforesaid i n doses j u s t suited to i n d i vidual cases, a n d a t t h e i n t a n t needed. Few cared to r u n against t h e oil) edge of h i s w i t more than once or twice. H is power in t h i 118

respect, as well as in others, put him at ease in matters of class-room discipline. H e never feared being imposed upon. H e was never solicitous about his stand ing with h is classes. They were compelled to respect him. And this is saying a great deal. College boys are proverbially sharp in detecting and making a target of the faults and i n fi r m ities of their teachers. They recognize n o obligation to be charitable in this regard. He is a rare man who can command the respect of one college class, to say nothing of th irty-five classes. In conducting examinations upon the text of the various works studied by the department, Prof. Foster was kind, stimulating and thorough. He keenly appre ciated faithful, energetic studen ts, and put manifest sy m pathy into his correc t ions and com ments on their reci tations: H e was never nervous or i rritable, but genial and cheery. If the apprehension of the pupil was too soporific, he carried a spur wh�se application generally produced the desired awakening To a stranger he effec t . But with native slowness he was k indly patient. m ight not seem enthusiasti c. But he was. H is own broad understanding of the works studied, his keen relish of the thoughts expressed, and o f the minutiae of l i nguistic excellence therein were never in doubt. He rolled the gem s of the Greek and Lati n languages as a sweet morsel over his tongue . H is en thusiasm for the beauties of ancient thought was contagious. Through him, be tte r than in the books before us, could we seem to feel the meaning of their authors. Some times, as we would struggle with those long classic sentences, with subject, pred i cate, modi�ers a n d connectives scattered l i k e disjecta membra through several square inches of printed space, without any very defin ite re ult, he would qu ietly come to our rescue and con.1fort us with the much- needed as u rance that the writer did really mean so m et/zing by what he wrote - that there was sense in the passage if we only knew how to find it, a n d so the Professor ' s fa ith was to us the " evidence o f Ehi ngs not seen." Beyond dealing with the text as snch, he had fi ne aptitude i n leading his pupi ls into the deeper waters of t hought that lay around the immediate poi nt in han d, and great would have been their benefit i f they could have gotten leisu re from the technicalities of the language to follow h i m . Principles, c i v i l , moral, a n d p h ilosoph ical, were often traced from t h e i r ancient sources to t h e i r place i n our p resen t civilizat ion . N iceties of speec h were pointed out and emphasized - laws of language, running through all tongues, were attended to - u ntil this class room became n o mean annex to the department of Rheto ric. An exqu isite irnagination in the teacher adorned the dry-looking pages of Latin and Gre ek that came be fore the pupils, ancl made them glow with poetic beauty. A d eliciou humor 1 19

often brought out to ight the quaint and ludicrous cast of the pas age studied . The Profe or, moreover, had an unu ual ense of rnelody. He was really a born mu ician, and though not c laim ing a technical k nowledge of the art, was a clo e and intelligent critic of the same. The music in h is nature came out in his trans lations and accompanying comment thereon . ince graduation the writer has not i n frequently vi ited hi recitation room simply to li ten to the music of h i s talk. T h i point i not insi.,.nificant. N o writer or speaker c a n afford to neglect melody of style, and le and le a time pa se . Excellence of thought demands musical expression . The fi nal peech of mankind in heaven will be song. As the world approaches perfection it utterance hould be more ongful. The pace allotted will allow us to peak but thi once m ore of Prof. Fo ter as a Chri tian teacher and friend. He wa no mean theologian. H e ha<l a theo logical as well as a logical mind. Hi early training in a thorough chool of . acred Learning, gave him a reli h and preparation for the study of theological que tion . :Many of us have happy recollections of hi in truction to an adult Bible cla i n the unday chool of the Bapti t church of \\ aterville. Being thorouahly at borne in the original ot the 'ew Te tament, he wa wont to grasp and hand le its great truth with ea e and add re His natural poise and temper a tene of m ind m ade him a choice religiou guide. To fanatical interpretation of Scripture could pa mu ter with him, however popular i t might be at the time. H e gave h is pupil grand seed thought , which have stood the iftings of sub e quent years. Before the re ults of the Higher Critici m were much known h e anticipated s o m e of it best utterance . H i s m i n d naturally went towards t h e p i t h of truth. E rrancy and digre ion and \'acillation were foreign to hi mental con titution. A a personal friend to his pupil , Prof. Fo ter was one of the wise t and best. He wa not a man to pat on the houlder, but h e wa a man to trust implicitly. His sagacity was unerring, his faithfulness uncea ing. H e ,!! Xcelled as a religious adviser, for he had carefully traversed the various experiences of the human h eart, and readily divined the cautions and incitements that each one needed. In the practical matters of life he was equally at home, and gave with fine di crimiJ?ation the appropriate word of counsel. In general, our teacher was a man of broad, intelligent sympathies, patriotic, philanthropic, de\'out, the friend of all, the enemy of none. No one had a h igher sense of honor than he.

The

G a nnon ' s froli c . Dark aud m isty was the night, Faded all the stars from sight, nd the earth's p roud satellite, When the cauuon took its flight. I t had shared i n campaigns three ; That which made our country free, Buena Vista's victory, Sherman' s ravage to the sea. Now, before i ts owner's gate , Gravely solemn a n d sedate, Re ts it in majestic state, Some new conflict to await. Down upon it with a swoop, With a d readful warlike whoop, Through the tangled hedge's loop, Bursts a ophomoric troop . Past the cedar'd colonnade, ' eath the elm-tree's sullen shade, 'er the open, grassy glade_, -

Then, the avenue invade. To the campus' u pper side With their prize the spoilers glide ; nderneath the grandstand h ide And explosives there abide. Sudden, through the midnight drear, Rings a shout, i ntense and clear, tartling every soul with fear ; Â 1 22

" Boys, light out, the cops are here " !

Helter-skelter, wide they flyďż˝ As the watchmen twain draw n igh ; One Soph, ling'ring boldly by, These policemen seize and tie. O'er the gun one copper stands, Fille<l with pistols both his hands ; Round him throng the Sophs in bands, As he " Order here ! comrnands. "

Down the street the other speeds, By the wrists the captive leads, Prayers, nor threats, nor curses heeds, But vows vengeance on such deeds. Hastily they wend their way, But the watchman, strange to say, Tripped, and as he supine lay, Slipped his comrade lithe away. On the east horizon low, Beams the dawn's first crimson glow, While back past the cedar r0w, With the gun the watchmen go. F. L. A.

T i s n ' t always an easy matter to collect ideas, even when you have them . Some men never have them. Curious fact, ever think of it ? Some don 't, and they ' re mostly the men without ideas. Then, too, there are men who have i deas, and never can get near enough to them to put sa lt on their tails, and n ever catch them. They are the men who l ike to tell you last week's news. There was a man once had an idea he could n' t catch - but I won' t expose him here. H e went t o college, and was always asking the p rofessors t o " pl ease repeat t h e last sentence." They hated him. --was trying to c ollect ideas for a recitation in Psychology. H e had th irty pages of abstract reasoning from which to collect the most ideas possible in thirty minu tes. Ever notice how much better work a man does i n the last thirty minutes ? H e ' 11 sit round and read one line in five minutes, talk girl a n d athletics, or the last dance, or the next reception, or the ďż˝ tate of the u niverse in general, and the country i n particular for the first hour-and-a- half, and then be surprised to find that he has yet to capture his ideas. Most men are built . j ust t hat way ; i t 's i n t h e m , and t h e y c a n ' t or don't g e t it ouL A m a n tried i t o n c e and h e became a d ig. H e took an X every term, and exiled himself from society. When he got through be went off and bung himself. -- had harvested an idea or two in as many pages, when there was a ra p on the door ; i t opened, and in came a man who wanted to know where the next day ' s lesson i n h istory began. Some men always depend on their fri end s for ears in class. They n ever know when a lesson is given out. I t ' s good training, though, for the men with ears. Pe rhaps that ' s why the other fellows don't listen. The history lesson disposed of, courtesy demands that the vis i t be not too abruptly broken off. Then, too, the un iverse woul d go to the d ogs if the weather d i d not come i n for disc u ssion on every available occasion. Exit history man with five minutes of the thirty. tore his hair, m uttere<.l something about " - deaf hitchÂ ing post," and settled down for another wild struggle with abstraction!'. Five minutes is the d u ration of this spasm, interrupted by the blasts o f a cornet try i ng, v ďż˝ inly, to rival the united howlings of a menagerie of wild beasts. I f you ever lived near a man with a cornet you know ' s feelings. A more or

less _lurid, sulphurous struggle, and the patient is quieted for the present . Sulphur and brimstone are the best opiates in such a case. Fifteen minutes gone, and returns to the task with peace of m i nd gone, hair on end, and an expression of long- suffering determination on his countenance. But there 's n o rest this side the grave. Five minutes m ore of undisturbed application i ended by the unannounced and somewhat violent entrance o f a couple of men who have a Greek Âˇlesson to recite the next hour. Communi m i a splendid ideal. Do you know, I believe college life i n domitories comes nearest the com rnuni tic state of any institution I know. Why, ever ything is common, your room, your wood, your coal, your oil, your neckties, sometimes even your shirt . I bought five gallons of oil one aturday - but that 's another story. I borrowed after that. Perhaps you 've noticed that a man can always do better in a language cla s, if he reads over the Jes on aloud with a friend some time during the la t ten m i n utes. The more hurriedly done the better. That 's what these fellows did. Th ree minutes to bell-time. Queer what a difference there is i n minds. Some men can take in Greek roots with their ears, and Âˇ P ychological ab tractions with the i r eyes, and never once get them m ixed. -- could n't. There ' Âˇ a limit to most men's patience. rose, and was just adly and in silence put on his coat removing his coat, when the bell rang. again and took hi way to recitation. Do you know, there are times when a man' vocabulary seems awfully limited ? G. H . D. L'A. --

HE tale of m y vi ion ?

An old story, but I will tell i t, for i t i not long. One sultry J une eveni ug, years ago, I had enca mped for the nigh t with my car avan t ra in some thirty leagues south of Bagdad : A I lay lulled i n to sweet re pose by the refresh ing b_r eezes gently wafted from the boundle s . outhern Ocean, J had a most beaut iful vision. � r r unchained imagination, enchanted by the brilliant stellar expanse o f a cloud less Ara bian sky, flew far, far away toward the Western World , passing the Pi llars of Hercule , over w h ich the tide o f ra bian culture bad rolled on to meet with cold rebu ff. Then, gl iding 0 1 1 and on over the watery waste, I came to a great and pro perous cou ntry in t h e eastern part of which, far toward the land of B oreas, a noble r i ve r flows gently to the sea. U p thi stream l wended m y way to a fair country where once peacefully dwelt the dusky tribes of the Ticonics. H ere I saw such a sigh t as oriental eyes scarcely ever beheld ; for I gazed u pon a great cours e o f four stage-, ever thronged with youth ; and maidens. Gates guarded i t entrance, where tho e who could not give a good ac count o f t h e i r journey thither w e r e not allowed to e nter. Those w h o en tered, h owever, were fi rst called " Freslzes," and, having t hreaded the by-ways and shunned the frequent quagmires called "Flunks," they came a t length, wearied and foot-sore, to a bluff l i ke wall, which those who had trained them elves easily scaled . But t hose who h a d b e e n indifferent, could get no foothold and fell rolling a n d tum bling to the f o o t o f t h e cl iff. Those, also, w h o m a d e little cribs and tried to cast u p ropes t o haul themselves over the wall, fell with a m ighty crash · wh ile those who tried to scale i t with t h e i r p rancing steeds were thrown fro m their horses and fearfully mangled . 1 3 4-

After the you t hs and maidens had passed three of these tangled paths, and scaled three of these walls, and gathered what they could of that peculiar fru it called "X's," they became Sopltomores. Then, after a time of sweet rest in a pleasant grove, they aga i n continued their j ourney along the wind ing paths of knowledge, shunning half hidden stumbling blocks and toiling u p the steep ascents of their path. The walls, also, they scaled as in their former path ; but on the whole fewer were tu rned back to travel t he way anew. Next they proc eeded on through the pleasant dales and over the sunlit hills of the land of the J1miores and Seniores, spurning that gorgeous but worthless phantom called "Rank," j u mping numerous half concealed dark lines that were stretched across their path, and scaling skil fully and gracefully the walls that barred their progress. Beyond the twelfth and last wall was the goal of their s t riving, and after they had scaled this wal l , I beheld them resting in a lovely grove called the " Gro1•e of Graduation," where they were eagerly gath eri ng Diplomas, Degrees, Ho11ors, and the like, for which they had worked so well through the fou r long stages of their toiling u p the ascents and t hreading the labyrinths of the i ntricate pathway called . The d ream-like mists of fancy vanish in t h i n air ; the golden chains of senti ment are rudely relaxed ; and my eyes open to discl ose the d eft fi ngers of Dawn pain ting t he eastern horizon, the hazy outl ines of my caravan train, the burning sand of our own A rabia of the east. \V.

T was evening, a nd the full m oon bathed the mountain tops of high Olym pus i n radiant splendor. From the dep ths of a gently-swaying hammock, hung on the south ern piazza of his palace, J ove arose, yawned, and throwing away his h alf-smoked cigarette, said to the slave who had been keeping the mosquitoes away from his master with a ten 111s racquet : " Call Mercury, ; nd tell him to bring his p neumatic sulky. " Mercury soon appeared - though not in a very amiable state of mind, for h e h a d been interrupted in the m i d s t of a flirtation w i t h the c h i e f d ish-wash er of t h e inner court. To him J ove said : " I want you, ki<l, to tell the gods that my wife is visiting her mother, and I am going to h ave a little blow out. Tell them to come up to the rea r entrance, and to be very quiet, as I don' t wan t Juno's maids to get o n t o the affair. Do you tumble " ? " Verily, I do," said Mercury. " Well, get a wiggle on ; ana tell Orpheus to bring along his lyre, for we shall want some music ." The faithful m essenger vanished to do the royal bid ding, and J ove settled back in his hammock to smoke another cigarette and await developments. The t i m e for the feast arrived, and the guests were all i n their place . Bacchus was chosen toast- master ; and when the m ore substan tial viands had been disposed of, a huge cask of Milwaukee nectar was rolled i n and placed on tap. J ove pressed an elect ric button with his foot, and once m ore lercury appeare<l in answer to his sum mons. " ri erc., my boy, " said J ove, " hie thee qu ickly to the region of the north star, arid bring m e the big dipper for a punch bowl Âˇ and you may as well bring along the little one for a ladle . " Again the messenger w a s gone ; and w h i l e t h e y wai ted, Orpheus t u n e d his harp, and the company joined in the refrain, " Here's a health to jovial J ove, drink i t d own. " This was foll owed b y several copious libations and a brace o f stories b y differÂ ent ones concerning their amours, J ove every now and then interrupting to warn Bacchus to keep the glasses fi lled. 137

The fun waxed fast and furious, and a song being called for, Orpheus was about to let hi mself loose in that old, fa miliar melody, " It won' t be a stylish marriage, for I can' t afford a carriage," when the door of the banquet hall opened with a crash, and Juno plunged into the room like an old war horse, with hair di bevelled, and a bed post in hand. J ove, who was opposite the entrance, im mediately caught the unmistakable glt>am of h i s spouse's eye, and at once c onclurle<l he was wanted elsewhere. Witl-i a hoarse cry of : " All-down-b' n i ne-se'em-up' gin," he made a wild plunge or the nectar cask, and d i appeared within its murky depths. Juno, seeing that the object of her wrath had escaped, vented her anger upon . the guests. Having driven them all out with the aid of her pet monster, the hundred-eyed Argus, she retired to wait for her delinquent pouse. When all was once more quiet, Jove emerged from his liquid retreat, dripping as to h is Rowing locks and silken beard . ot daring to brave the ] unonian wrath that n ight, h e stealthily turned down the gas and perched himself on a friendly fence, where he might ponder on the evil of his ways, and give the moisture a c hance to evaporate from his best Âˇ pant .

Tabl e -Talk ot the C o - ord C l u b .

I G the winter term a n overwhelm ing desire possessed certain of the DU Rdwellers o n the campus to know what the m em bers of the famous Co-ord Club talked about i n the tri-daily ses ions. To bl! sure these meetings were not sec ret. Visitors had been frequently admitted, and o n such occa ions, of cou rse, girls never talk of � nythiog bu t fashion and boys. But curio ity wa not quite satisfied until, by the aid of a phonograph, the table-talk of the Co- ord Cub was reproduced. ome of the inve tigators had fondly expected to hear the i r own name in a sweet, wel l-known voice, float from the magic instru ment. What they did h ear, is thi� : " These searc hings after truth agitate my soul to its very depth . tilitarian_ ism i s not necessarily con nected with the psychological theory · that the moral sen timents are de rived from experience of the now moral pleasures or pains.

displea ing, how disgusting i s ?. confession of weakne to a nature permeated with a ublime egoti m and a strong conception of its own vast erud i t io n m irrored in the clear- cut out lines of its own conceit ! " \Vby then," you ask, " do you snatch away those con of your c ealing eils m eant to hide from vulgar view the inherent weakne own nature " ? 1y imp le friend, it is that you may avoid the d ry and barren deserts of a bookworm ' s life, that you may hun th ose terrible l\laelstroms, those whirling eddies that mete out intellectual death on every hand . -ature, life, man, and I was about to ay the " bonnie lassi e," once But wait. had their charms for m e . I was n o t always a wrinkled, white-headed, withered up, old biped, a plant, wilted through a d isa trous attempt a t overculture. Why, even the sparring match and the race course, the m i n irel troupe and whist t able once had ome charm for me. Yet I had never viewed these maligned diver ions of l ife with the cynical eye of the philosoph ical fool, choked wi th the mummified dust of ethic and m etapby ics ; nor had I beheld their m i ty outlines with the d ouble vision of the too eager devotee of Bacchu . But at this critical point, however, when I bade fair to pilot my frail c raft safely between the hidden shoal of pedantic pedantry and the wave-beaten rocks of frivolous frivoli ty I took a " h eader," to use the cu t-and-dried phrase of the cycli t ; and from the shock i t ga,·e m e I have never recoyered. It wa thus : a young clerical friend of m ine asked me to glance through some of the volumi nou work of one of the fou nder o f Ratiocinationism , D r. l\lagnus Polem icus, F. R. ., Fellow of the Rat iocination ociety. I did so, and, strange as i t may see m, I also soon became fairly enamoured of this mystical t rash. Time went on and gradually I became m ore and more en nare d . H ere, I fanc ied, must be the original source, the fountain head of a sublime and refulgent science, a field as yet little tilled by that featherless biped, man. Perhaps, thought I to myself, I may become as famou in tbi field a Dr. Polemicus him elf. M atters went on 1or can I any from bad t o wor e ; I gnawed, gnawed, gnawed day and night. more explain the cause of this strange i nfatuation than I can accoun t for the enthralling power of the cup or the deadly grip of opium . When not under the spell of the dusty m ustine s of Polemicus and Ratiocinationi m I suffered the most excruciating tortures. I was a n agitated, throbbing, palpitating, 142

shattered bit of humanity. On one occasion, indeed, when asked by a friend the cau se of the look of pensive i mbec ility and owl-like serenity on my marbled features, I told him i t was occa sioned by i ndigestion, brought on by too great attentio n to the pursuit of phantoms over the dusty wastes of Ratiocinationism. Yet I did nothing, could do nothing, would do n othing else. For years I I ransacked sough t far and wide for further traces of Polemicus' inspired works. E u rope and America, tried to rouse the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, burrowed with the Mud Flat I ndians of Venezue la, i nvestigated the royal archives of Terra Del Fu ego, and revelled in the priceless pr ivate collection of E x- Queen Liliuokalani, of H awaii, for she excels both as a diletta11te and a co1111oisseur. Vain ! Vain . Vain ! No trace ; no whisper ; no footprint. Could I but grasp, for one short mornent, one of his manuscripts ; could l but read the title, tven, of his last on slaught on the untenable position of Cuckooism ; nay, could I merely inhale the dust gently wafted from the sacred folds of his precious volu m e ; the elixir of life would be m i n e. What tormen t ! \Vhat torture I suffered ! The gorgeou s visions of Ratiocination ism no longer darted through my fevered brain. The deadly stupor was gone. The spell was past. I pined and languished until I could hardly drag my emaciated form through the narrow alleys of libraries a n d book stalls, but - s a d to tell , I survived . At last, however, despairing of gaining any more of the d usty relics of Ratio cinationism, despai ring of H err Polemicus, despairing of myself unless my slavish appetite could be sated by some ancient tome, I fled, as a last resort, to other fields, j ust as a toper deprived of one kind of drink seek s another. I spent hours over elementary kindergarten and its correlative, abstract and abstruse th eological theorizing. E xhausting these, I rummaged old garrets for works on progressive laughter and fa �ming o n the half-shell. I ext, perha ps, I woulcl delve into com parative hypocrisy and i ntensive peanut cultu re. Thus I roamed and wan dered h ither and thither, o'er that trackless intellectual desert whose accursed bou ndaries I shall never recross. And h ere I am now, as unsaved as ever, suffering acutely when not revelling i n literary dust, and in a deep mental stu por when u n dp the spell. Oh, terrible intellectual iate of the bookworm, to be as warily shunned as slavish devotion to the wine cup or the i n sinuating snare s of opium . It m ay smack of knowledge ; it m ay be arrayed in the gaudy vestments of a specious wisdom ; i t may gambol before you as the personification of the i ntellectual ideal ; but - beware. Take, then, this sage advice of a confirmed ineb riate, an unsaved bookworm still in the tangled mazes of his s nare, for he gives to you the product of years of sufferi ng, sublima ted by the flight of time.

The singing of the river

They hear the s f nging birds,

Cornes softly up the hill To where the drooping willows

T hey watch the rippling river ·

S tand motionless and stil l .

What need have they of words ?

Their massive trunks no longer

A n d so in golden silence

Are quick to bend and sway ; Their restless youth is over

They wear the crown of years · Their cal mness is unbroken

long past it seem s to-day .

By any hopes or fears .

Ii tens to the thunder Â

Rol l ing, rumbling, deep-voiced thunder, With ligh tning splitting oaks asunder, Crashing midst the mountain boulders. Half wakened by h is dream's confusio n , Rising i n his bed w i t h fear, Listen ing, looks 01:1t through the darkness, By i nsti nct feeling danger near. A sudden strange and weird sensatio n Chains h i s h a l f recovered senses A chilling, weakening, ghostly feeling. As again that sound commences. Then by some strange fascination, Drawn by agencies supernal, Forth he goes i n to the hall-way To witness ash-can tricks infernal . 147

What a sight ! strange shapes and antics, Mystic circles, jigs and reels, Fancy dances, swinging, changing.Â Each an i n spiration feels, As, perched upon an elevation, The fiddler grinds out music, sweating, Puffing, rocking, stamping, laboring, But ne'er a whi t his toil abating. But afar the " cock's shrill clario n ., Tow proclaims that day is nigh ,

V hen by laws forever changeless

They must human dwelli ngs fly. Yet the music, charmed , compels them S t i l l to dance, till in clination Ioves the fiddler to abstain ; But i nstantly wild con sternati o n Seizes every dancer there. A urora, light-winged, enters angry At her warning disobeyed ; S o, in mad confm i o n gathere d , A l l rush down t h e stairs d ismaye d .

H eadlong going faster, fa ter, The ash-cans struck with woeful clashing. O n the floor, disfigured, battere d , L a y t h e ash-cans, headless, armless.

through the vi ta of the last fou r fl eeting years, I see myself a Freshman, yea, a Colby Fresh man, on the lowest tep of the _college ladder. Ah ! can it be that I, a noble Senior, was ever a Fre hman simple ! But the month roll wiftly on and 011 ; and years to m ystic four glide on and on ; and memory in winged fl ight sweeps on and on. I behold, i n rapture, my Sophomore days and my J un ior days ; my clays of labor and my day of re t ; my days of profit and my days o f loss. But h u .5 h ! I feel e v e n n o w t h e soft and gentle zephyrs fr e hly wafted from hour of enior pleasure.

I see, I behold with well nigh inspired vision, the m ile-stone and emi nence of my halting place i n l i fe's march. 0, glorious sight ! 0, splendid panora ma !

[ Wri!lm after reading ÂŤ Tire Lost Chord." J Seated one morn in the Chapel, I was weary and ill at ease ; The organist's fingers wandered Over the noisy keys. l knew not what b e was playing, I thought I was dreaming then, For be struck one chord of music Like the sound of a great A - men.

It came o'er my soul like magic, Then as quickly it went away ; That such a thing seldom happened, It is needless for me to say. Now came the sound of discord, Such as always causes strife ; But somehow it seemed the echo Of our discorrlant life. I t brought all perplexed meanings

Not into perfect peace, And it trembled not into silence, I thought it would hever cease.

How I hoped ; but I hoped i n vain For the one lost chord divine, Which had come from the soul o f the Organ And entered into mine. It may be that the Chapel Organ Will some day be in lune ; I hope for those who listen, That it will be very soon. D . T. H .

S ophomor e ' s lt a me17t . ------- * � many generations ago, where you n o w s i t c ircled with all that exalts and N OTembell ishes college life, our university existed with men only as students, and hazing was at i ts height. Beneath the ame sun that rolls over your h ead, the college man celebrated the offices of Bacchus ; gazing on the same m oon that s m iles for you, the Sophomore revelled in his peanut drunks. Once the water gently descended o n the tender and hel pless Fresh man ; sus p 1c i n eyed him on every side. Here they warred ; the e choing whoop, the bloody grapple, the defying death song - al l were he re ; and when the Sophomoric exploits were over, here curled the moke of peace. All this i s passing away. There grew up a tender plant, bearing the seeds of l ife and death . The former were sown for woman ; the latter sprang u p i n the path o f man . A few years have changed the character o f Colby, and the braves of Phi Chi are fast disappearing. C o- ordination has u su rped the bowers of nature, and the anoin ted c h ildren of education have been too powerful for the tribes of the ignorant. Here and there a stricken few rem a i n, but how unlike their bold, u n tamable pro genitors. The Phi Chi brave of falcon glan ce and lion bearing, the them e of the touching war- ong, the hero of t he pathetic tale, i s gone ; and his degraded off spring crawl u pon the ground, where he walked i n maj esty, to re mind us how m iserable i s the ophomore, when the foot of the conqueror is on his neck. a body, they have withered from the land. Their tin horns are broken, their squi rt-guns are of no use, their tall hats are i n the dust. Their council fi re lowly and sadly has long since gone out, and their yell are fa t dying away. they climb the stairs of their abodes, and read their d oom in the setting sun. Years hence, the inquisi tive co-ords, as they stand by the dormitori es, will ponder on the deeds of their predeces ors, and will wonde r what manner of m e n these were w h o l ive n o w only i n the song and chronicles of t h e i r exterminators.

Tf(e Old Bill -Bo ard . JH If scars and seams give glory, And age ekes out a story, Its battled form reveals a grand career ; For 'gainst its side-boards olden, There long has been beholden The trace of bills, tacked up from year to year. Reports of ten to zero, With Colby as the hero,

And sometimes with the zero for her lot,

Have long been nailed there, And long been hailed there , With ringing bell , or looks with sadness fraught.

The marks of times historic, , The signs of feuds Soph'moric, Lend prestige to this ancient relic rare ; Bill-posters of orations, And other celebrations, There long have hung to catch the public stare .

The tailor's yearly coming, And oft the drummer's drummi ng, The " shows " and every " ad . " that one may ken , A r e common things t o see, sir, Yes, common as can b e , sir, But commonest is - " LOST, A FOUNTAIN P E N . " 163

SmzdaJ1, Jan. 7t!t . I dragged my weary limbs to churc h to-day, and heard a sermon about that time when " The wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. " I have 157

been unfortunate, c ertainly, in the results of my endeavors to keep the rules ; but I capped the climax to- n ight. Harry walked home from c hurc h with me, and s tepped in for a moment. It was the most natural thing in the world for u s to d iscuss the sermon, and time flew. Suddenly a tall form appeared in tht doorÂ way, and said, " I am afraid, my dear, you do not apprehend that thi i s not a reception night." It is so d iscouraging ! I have tried to remember to report every time I have t u rned around, but there i s a point beyond which, etc. I can't decide whether i t i s all a farce or not. Well, time will tell.

Close by the river that rushes along, Close to the railroad with engines so strong, College walls rise ia the morning air clear, Campus and ball field and curved walks appearCommonly k nown as " old Colby." O ften the traveller on the through train Out of the car looks again and again ; Objects of interest sees o'er the street, Or from the station loud cheers his ears greet Of " rah ! rah ! rah . rah ! " for old Colby. Long bas the bell called to class with its chime, Long have those walls been exposed to the clime ; Long do the w inters cling aroun d them each year, Lowering clou ds send their snow storms so d rear, Laying thei r drifts on old Colby. Boatmen may sing of the ocean's bright gleam, But Messalonskee's meandering stream Bears for the student far greater delight, By m oon-gleam or star-gleam or holiday bright, Beckoning forth from old Colby.

0£ t �e Board 0£ Trustee s . Dear Sir : - Doubtless you have long fe l t the need i n your curriculum o f a course i n the profane languages.

I t is a lamentable fact that but few scholars o f the present day

have attained to suffi cient proficiency to give instruction in this sadly neglected branch of learning.

Colby would do well to secure the services o f a connoisseur who can teach the

clear, forcible, and elegant use o f the profane languages.

The importunities o f the

undergraduates of Colby have induced m e to propose the establishment o f this chair, and make application for it.

For referen c e s , see below. Very respectfully yours, 1CLELLAN, P . P.

We, the undersigned, heartily endorse the proposal to establish a professorship of profanity at Colby, and gladly recommend the above applicant as peculiarly fitted by natural talent, careful training, and constant practice for giving instruction i n this branch . E.

My experience i n the Calais high school , together with the instruction which

I have for the past year gratuitously given in the college, renders me eminently fitted for the task.

I give no references : my past work recommends me. Yours,

Extract horn the M inutes 0£ the Board 0£ Con£ere9ce -----October 5, 1894. of the Board of Conference called to order by President Whitman, who spoke as follows :Probably such a fine body of young men was never before assembled for the regulation of college affairs. Probably no college was ever before i n such a pros perous condition. However, a little judicious legislation cannot be amiss, and will undoubtedly effect more desirable results. Well- calculated legislation is at all times perfectly legitimate. Even if a law covers no existing abuse, yet it can work no harm to any one, and, indeed, may be of service in some future contingency. On the other hand, if a law makes pro vision against a present evil, it serves a most commendable purpose. Young men, you are sent here to legislate ; and the student body, which you represent, expects you to fulfil your obligation. PROF. l\>1ATHEWS. Permit me to add that it is in the nature of the Saxon race to assemble and make laws. I quote for my authorities on this point, Lodge, Fiske, Bryce, Freeman, Taylor, and others too numerous to mention. PRES. W H ITlll AN . Quite right, Professor Mathews, quite right. M R . PURINTON. I n behalf of the Student Committee, I will say that we want to do something to make the " bums " of the college come to time ; and we h ave framed the following laws, worded as carefully as possible i n order to avoid any mi u nderstanding :First. Each and every student shall, each and every day, before the hour of (ten ) 10 A. M., carry out and deposit in a certai n receptacle or repository ( made of zinc, slightly larger than a barrel and somewhat smaller than a hogshead, known by the appellation of " ash-can " ) all ashes, cinders, clinkers, and any other refuse from his stove, if there be any. Said student shall, before the process of deposition of said refuse, carefully remove the lid, cover, or top of said ash -can ; and, after said refuse is emptied, he shall as carefully replace the separable, movable, or detachable u pper portion of said ash-can. I t shall likewise be incumbent upon said tudent to wipe up with handkerchief, towel, or other dry-goods, any sed iment, molecule, or atom of powder, dust, or other pulverized substance, however m inute, insignificant, or i nvisible, which may MEETING

,_ 1 73

become settled upon the ceiling, walls, or floor of the hall in which said ash- can is located. I I of which obligations, requirements and requisitions shall be fulfilled on pain of i nstant exile from this institution. Second. Every student shall, after sweeping, dusting, or otherwise cleaning his room, remove the refuse consequent upon such operations, to the ash-can, in the manner hereinafter carefully designated, specified, and particularized : Said individual shall gather, collect, and place the hereinbefore mentioned refuse upon a dust-pan, shovel, or other suitable uten il, and carefully, cautiously, and circu m pectly carr) , convey, and transport said refu e to said a h-can and deposit it t herein, taking due care that no sediment, m olecule, or atom of powder, d ust, o r other pulverized substance may become attached to the ceiling, wall , or floor of the hall in which said ash-can is located . All of which obligations, requi rements and requisitions shall be ful filled on pain of i nstant and forcible ejection from this in titution. Tlzird. o student shall touch, handle, or. i n any way disturb the peace of the ash-cans in the several hall , o n penalty of one dollar ( 1 .00) fine fo r the first offence, fi ve dollars ( 5.00) fine for the second offence, and expulsion for the third offence. Fourth. o student shall at any time, for any cause, or under any consideration, speak above a whi per while on the campus, above an ordinary tone of voice within one hundred yards of said campu , or u e boi terous language within one mile of said campu . Any student feeling a desire, impul e, or constraint to sneeze, cough, or make unseemly noises of any sort what oever, ball hurriedly, hastily, and percipitately depart beyond the one hundred-yard lim it. I f any student shall, at any t i me, find i t neces ary, needful or essential to pass, walk, or otherwise transporďż˝ himself through the h all , ,Âˇe tibules or corridor of any of the dorm itories of this institu tion, it i herein ordered that he shall take off, remove, or withdraw his boots, hoes, slippers, m occasins, or any other exterior apparel of his pedal extremities, and proceed, advance, or perambulate solely and alone in h is hose, stockings, socks, leggings, or other interior apparel of his pedal extremities. All of which obligations, requirements and requisitions shall be fulfilled on pain of in taut bani hment from this institution. These laws are respectfully subm itted by the Student Committee for the apÂ proval of the Board . -

174

MR. WATERS. If any argument is needed to justify our pos1t10n in the pro posal of these laws, I would advance the following points, which will effectually sq uelch all opposition. These laws ought to be adopted, first, because they are necessary (a) to the faculty, ( b) to the Conference Board. Second, because they are needful (a) to the Faculty, (b) to the Conference Board. Tlzird, because they are essential (a) to the Faculty, (b) to the Conference Board. Foztrt!t, because they are requisite ( a ) to the Faculty, ( b ) to the Conference Board. Fiftlz, because they are indispensable ( a ) to the Faculty, ( b) to the Confer ence Board. I present my argument only in outline ; for it is so clear, cogent, and con vincing that i t needs no expl ication. :YIR . F. M . PADELFORD.
