Whose eyes may chance to fall upo� th1 page, We' ll speak you fi rst our prologue, 1f we may, Before you hasten on to see the pl ay. ' ,C---,, The piece we now present to publ ic view Combines i n one, attract ions not a few. Dramat ic scene rel ieveJ by comi c ong, v i t h spectacles and tableaux all alon g ; High t ragedy stal ks with stately stride, And m instrel quip and cranks dance by its ide. And if to anyone the thought occurs That half the piece is cast of characters, V hy then we a k you frankly, " I s there, pray, A more i mportant part of any play ? " ithout its characters beh ind i t back, E'en Hamlet or Macbeth would feel a lack. Let no one feel aggrieved at aught we say Although hi fault and fail i n gs we d isplay ; But let our h umble effort for his good, Be taken as a gen tle cha tening should. To make our entertainment rich and rare, And so to please, bas been our constant care ; And if we please you not, 'ti all the same, We' re sorry for your taste ; you're not to blam e. V ith these few word s, we've aid our little say, Up with the curtain and begin the play.

ďż˝isfut11. The class of '96 bases its claim to renown o n the genuine services it ha rendered to the college. While naturally modest, like all class h i storians, the present writer feels i t a duty not o nly to the class, but to posterity, to record a few achievements as an example to c0mi n g classes. I n the fi rst place, we brought to t h e college among our n u mber an article of con iderable value, which Colby happened to be out of just then,-a President. Under our guidance, the gentleman i n question advanced the intere ts of the college in a marked degree. His own progress was so remarkable that he was allowed to take his senior work to u s i n his third year, a t t h e e n d of which he grad uated wit h high honor a n d went to t h e University. W e had o m e feel i ng that t he rest o f us m ight j ustly have been allowed to do t h e same, b u t the t rustees pointed out that we were not all as good scholars as Dr. Whitman, and thought it best for us to l i nger around another year. 'vVe realized ourselves that the Faculty would need our help. Assisted by Dr. Pepper, who entered with us, but had dropped back into the Faculty, we managed the affai rs of th<;! college very smoothly, until the arrival of Dr. Butler, who has ince relieved us a good deal by attending to all the m inor matters himself. The college had been troubled for some time previous to our arrival, by a ferocious and u nmannerly dragon called Phi Chi. \Vith rare courage we attacked this creature. v e did not kill it, but , rej ecting the barbarous and inh u man policy of capital pun ishment, we reformed it and reduced it to a very harmless and commendable beast, wh ich is now a cred it to the college. or have we neglected our social duties. In the word s of the famous Sawtel!e, we ha\:e " cared for the beaut i ful " wi th sedulous attent ion. V-./e have been guid d in this work by the classic motto, " vVhole h og or none," in accordance with which we have allowed no flirtat ion to continue over three months unles the parties would ign a matrimonial a reement. By this policy we have husbanded (and wifed) our resources to a remarkÂ able extent, and still there is more to follow. \ e have alt ered the curriculum at the expense of great labor and personal discomfort, of which succeedi n g cla s e s reap the benefit . We have also made sweeping and needed changes i n the managemen t of athletics. Having thus establ ished all depart ments of the college on a new and sound basis, and broken i n four or five new profes ors and two presidents, we feel t hat we can safely leave the college in t he hands of the Faculty, as uring them that whenever they are in t rouble i n the future, we sha!l be glad to gi\ e them the benefit of our advice. Meanwhile we feel that we are needed elsewhere. Sawtelle has already refused two i nvitat ions to the Cabinet, and Congress is anxiously awai ting the publ ication of the " Settlement of the Silver Quest ion " by Cole, Colli ns and Dunn. With a clear conscience, then, we leave for " fresh fields and pastures new. " 27

Then i nYe tigate our biographie , ju t far enough to learn that ' e have wi e, witty and win ome girls, pretty, practical and m u ical girls ; girls who l ike to study, and girls who don't ; girls who can write poetry, and girl who can't ; girl ' ho wear diamond ring on certain fi ngers, and girls who don 't.

Io, '96 girls have nothing extraordinary to record.

�isfnry. To '97 the J unior year will soon be only a memory, but, before we step to the highest rung i n the college ladder, and as enior , complacently or sadly, look back on the almost completed course, let us cast a preliminary glance downward from the height we have already attained. \Ve have not on the whole been a brilliant aggregation. From the fi rst we were few i n n umbers and our ranks have constantly grown th inner. Yet, in the face of t hese concessions, we, the mem bers, have never been ashamed of the class of '97. Never through our Fresh man year did we n eed the pity of others. We celebrated the Peanut Drunk and carried canes as fear lessly as though the Sophomores did not outnumber us 3 to 2 . In the class-room we took our X's and defi c iencies with equal imperturbabil ity. A Sophomores we undertook the thankless task of disciplining a fresh and furious mob, three t imes our number. Moreover, throughout the year, we respected every t radition and legend that ever haunted the Campus. v\ e � ave long ago aid good-bye to class-scraps. We now give our attention to the Professors rather than to their rooms. We as J u niors, have intended to bear ourselves as J u niors should, let the result eem as i t may. There is l ittle more to say. As a band of savages t read a forest and lea, e but a single _ path behind, so successive classes follow each other through the maze of a college course. '97 is no exception to the rule thus far, and so, content i n the knowledge that her story has been told many a time better than she has told i t with a sigh of relief, she lays down the pen.

A S H F U L maids with new-erlged books, Modest glances, downward looks, Take the seats unkindly set J ust before the male quartette ; Take from prof's with t imid awe Copies of the coll ege law, Virtuously resolved to t ry With each section to comply. ' eath the gods in lighted hall, Told by Seniors grave and tall : H ere's the place where, when term's done, Prof's will send them j ust for fun, O n probation several weeks. H ow suspense pales their fresh cheeks ! Fear-when after bell belated ! Ob, the joy !-matriculated ! On they go, recit ing, plugging, Thoughts of rank and duty hugging ; Close the year with banquet swell, At an Exit say farewell. J olly maids return t o bear Dut ies of the Sophomore year. With an !nit they begin, Lily-like, nor toil, nor spin. Fresh plants given to their charge, Water oft with pitchers large ;

A rt icles reel off, i n piles, Face Genung with mocking smiles ; Botany's mazes lightly tread ; Physics take without a dread ; German poefs by t housands learn, Later cast on fi re to burn . Thus our maids, with m irth and fun, Laugh at trials every one. Second year is gone at last, Exit leaves i t to the past.

Fifteen maids in fall come back, Naught in dignity they lack ; Calmly smile on Sophomore glee, Gravely tal k in l ibrary Of the serious t hi ngs of l ife, Rome's downfall or Carlyle's wife, Dalton's theory and such ; Converse hold at tea in Dutch ; Give the Freshmen good advice , Even study once or twice ; . Look back on their youthful days With m uch p ity, little praise, \Vith allowance, j ust a grain,Â Sophomore days were not i n vain. Out of these, they h umbly t row, There have come what t hey are now !

That old tall hat with its red X Was worn on our exit n ight, When ] erry stopped a brickbat And stumped the town to fig-ht ; \ hen Tolman worked the shell game, And the cops all lingered near, inety-eight with song and j est \ hen Ended their Freshman year. I sit i n this room of m ine Where I have been two years, And view upon the walls around M y cherished souvenirs. That yellow horn with its battered s ides vVa scarred in our Freshman Fall, When we tauo-ht the haughty Sophomores The science of baseball.

This rope I used last Fall to bind A too i m patient guest, Upon his way to Freshman j oys,Â Ask Hall and ] ohn the rest. H ere's a ribbon and glove, and a faded flower That speak to me, soft and low, Of the loyal maidens of Ninety-eight, Their receptions and-well, you know.

That disk of wood on the mantel there Is a piece of the famous cane That Ninety-eight stood the college off And fought their best to gain. To think how Alden got it though, And ran a quarter m ile With all the Sophomores at his heels, Will always make me smile,

H orns, ribbons, hats and signs Those by-gone scenes recall Of rush and scrap and ban quet, Flirtations and football. So here's to glorious I i nety-eight, Who've never known defeat, And with Captain ash to lead us on, \ e never can retreat.

Upon T i m e ' s busy whirring loom

Breathes on us ere we turn,

Fate wove a thread of gold,

The untried field of life to greet,

At times, unseen through dust and gloom,

'Where each may honors earn.

And yet, of strength untold.

All that we hitherto have won

Through years of sunshine, years of shade,

No longer ours we call :

The golden thread bas run ;

The work before us to be done,

Its gl int of brightness shall not fade ;

I s grander than them all.

It binds our class in one.

Yet, " standing with reluctant feet , " Our thoughts turn once again, To college fellowship so sweet, With blending joy and pain. Now answering Duty's whisper low, With hope and courage high, vVe gladly face the future's glow Slow reddening all the sky.

strong to uplift and inspire,

the Sea.

The pai nter has stri�en to show The heavenly glory to man,

mother of wisdom and might,

And has captured a h int of t he glow

Who teachest us still to aspi re And armest our souls for the fight :

That shone ere the ages began. The light of that face we would throw

I n return for the heaven-born fire

On the walls of thy hall, if we can,

With which thou hast l ighted our night

That men may behold it and know

To-day we would show our desire

H ow the tide of our gratitude ran .

To praise thee and thank t hee aright.

ATHA IEL BUTLER, A.M., CLASS '73 .

By REv. S. F. SMITH , D.D., Author of the National Hymn, "America."

Blest be the men, the ancient men, Who once th ese sacred pathways trod, Nobly fulfilled their course, and then Reti red to rest with fame and God. H igh priests of knowledge, brave and true, They l ived, the distant years to bless ; Born for the t imes, a faithful few, Their zeal achieved sublime success.

The plans they formed, the ends they sought, Have all the wrecks of t ime defied ; The works their bands with wisdom wrought, A holy influence, still abide. Fair seat of learn ing ! onward still Grandly pursue thy high career, While thousands shall their course fulfil, Proud that their youth was nurtured here.

�f!£ llarhr O&nglanb' JJnfrrruUrgtatr �rbafing lragur. The format ion of the New England Int ercollegiate Debating League is but a part of the movement that has been spreading through the colleges of the country for some years past,-a movement looking to the estab l ishment of some other means of test ing the relative powers of rival colleges beside an appeal to muscle. Col lege spirit and college rivalry are good things, and especially so, when t hey are developed along the l ines of work for which pre-eminently the college i s i nten ded. For some time the colleges of the West have been giving a good deal of attention to i n t ercollegiate debating contests, and t hough the movement has progressed more slowly in the East, it has nevertheless been felt. The New England League owes its existence largely to the enthusiasm and energy of Clifford Thorn, of Boston Universi ty, now t he president of t he League. It i ncludes at present only four colleges : Boston Univer sity, vVesleyan, Bates and Colby. It is hoped , however, that another year w ill see a large number of t h e smaller New England colleges added to its membershi p . Meanwhile the beneficial effects upon o u r o w n college c a n already b e seen. T h e i nterest in debating has been greatly increased, and has shown i tself in the establ ishment of a Sophomore Prize Debate in addition to the customary J unior Debate. There has also been more or less talk about the formation of a public debating society, to afford a better opport unity for developi ng the talent of the college along this line. The plan i s a good one and i t is to be hoped that its realization is not far off.

We cannot afford to forget the strong men of an elder generation, for

the mem ory of the fathers will help to develop in future sons of Maine the physical and mental and moral strength which i s their birthright. I t i s l ike serving under a flag i nscribed with victories to feel that one sprang from the same oil which produced men of the fibre of Rev. ] ohn Butler. A surviving son of this sturdy sire, M r. Charle Butler, of Frank lin, Ohio, writes i n c idents of his father's l i fe which tho e only can rightly interpret who know how to appreciate the stuff that m akes the mo t of p inched conditions. ] ohn Butler did not have a li beral educa t ion, and I am unable to di scover how m uch " school ing " he enjoyed. He acquired the shoemaker's t rade, and, according to his son's testimony, i t was his habit to have an Engl i s h Grammar and other books by h i s side on the bench, and to study them while at work. After fr. Butler became a preacher b e opened a chool for young women in \\, inthrop, fai ne. In the interest of this school, and of female education in general, h e lectured much throughout the State. The science of astronomy furn ished some of his subj ects. Students who have been taught

Butler illustrated his ast ronomical lectures with an orrery of his own invention, and that he made and sold many duplicates of this device. Iarve and pathetic all this may be, but it means more to be proud of than the true story of many a fam ily in the peerage would reveal. If there are degenerates in our day. it is partly because so m uch is done to help us amount to something that we m iss the di cipline of creating out of not h i ng the means of developing ourselves. Professor Samuel K. Smith has written the fol lowing of this typical man : " M y acquaintance w i t h

Rev. John Butler was made an honorary gradu ate of Waterville College, with the degree of Master of Arts, in 1 83 2, and he served the College a a mem ber of the Board of Trustees from 1 826 to 1 85 5 . The father o f President Butler was graduated a t Water-ville in t h e class o f 1 842. H e was also a mem ber of the Board of Trustees of the College from 1 856 to 1 887. To Dr. Nathaniel Butler, Senior, many of the sam e traits are to be credited which evidently belonged to his father. Yet those who remember both would doubtless say that, as the boyhood of the son was passed in l ess rugged conditions, and a he was formed by more artifi cial culture, the finer rather than the stronger traits of the father were prom inent

were ready to acknowledge that the 1 14

in the son . Nathan iel Butler, Senior, was of a sensi tive, artistic temperament. H e was respon ive to every a pect of beauty, whet her i n form color, har mony, sentiment or action. If the term had been i n vogue, h i s contemporaries would have called h i m an impressionist. He had gen uiue talent for m usic, for painting and for lyric poetry. There was a remark ably per uasive and convict ing quality i n his preach ing. I disti nctly remember how the tears would sneak out of my eyes while listening to him, when I would have preferred a thrashing to the betrayal of any emotion about religion. At the same time fr Butler was one of the few m i nisters whose visits to my father's house during my boyhood did not seem to me an affliction. I always feared that h e would ap proach me on the dreaded subj ect of religion, but my feel ing wa that at the worst he would do i t like a gentleman. In a private letter President Butler wrote recently : ' During the last ten days I have been all the way from H ebron to Calais, and nearly everywhere I find those who remember with affection and grati tude both my gra ndfather and my father." Nathaniel Butler, J r., impre sed himself upon my i magi nat ion at our fi rst meeting. It was soon after the beginning of the Civil War. With his father, who had been act ing as Secretary of the Vice-President,

I l5

and his mother, a sister of 1rs. H amlin, he was pas ing t h rough Bangor from \\ a hington. He could hardly ha e been more than ten y ars old , but a hi age was at least one year greater than mi ne, a he possessed a more belligerent looking toy m u ket than I had ever seen, as his conversation eemed to m e as replete with adventure as Othello' did to De demona, and as h i deportment was all that my fancy demand d of a soldier, the effect was a t hough I had been a raw recruit in the re erve , and he a cout from the front. This reference will be pardonded even in the punctilious pages of the ORACLE, because I want to add that although i n my more soph isticated view some of the bolder lines of this fi rst im pre sion have been softened, I have never seen the present head of Colby Univer ity in a light which e ent ially changed my opinion that h e was right manfully filling hi place. Let me not be understood as meaning that my friend was one of the edifying boys of the old-fa h ioned Sunday-school book , nor one of the j uvenile paragon of Oliver Optic's creation. He wa , as I analyze him from recollect ion, a boy who e appetite was ample and digest ion good, who e conscience gave him no particular trouble, whose instincts were h ealthy, and who wa free from the self-consciou ne s which pre vents the majority of younO' male of the human spe-

cies f rom being thoroughly wholesome boys. H e was t h e drum mer o f t h e Camden Cornet Band, and his father delighted to tell how in 1 867 the boy, beat ing a f ull-sized tenor drum, with the solemn visage of a drum m ajor, kept step and time with his seniors at the head of the Fourth of J uly procession. If the editors do not allow him to read my con fidences out of the proof, I shall also confide to the ORACLE that I have seen this same young man execute an artistic clog dance i n a way that would win an encore on any variety stage. Where he acqui red that accompl ish ment and how frequently he used it, I do not know. I refer to it as an evidence that as a boy he took l i fe as any honest boy would who was neither unnatural ly earthly nor preternaturally spiritual. When I entered Colby i n the Autumn of '72, aml renewed my acquai ntance with Mr. Butler, who was already a enior, my earl ier opinion of him was confirmed. Although I am writing for students, I will venture the assertion that he was singular among college studen ts whom I have known, in his ability to make his d ign ity felt without seeming ridiculous, and at the same time to make himself ridiculous on occa sions without losing his dignity. H i s rank in study wa$ hirrh, but n t remark able. H e boasts that he succ <led in bei ng one of the fi rst nine of his class,

which, if there had been one more m ember, would have numbered ten ! The col lege of those days con tained more to disgust than to inspire a student of hi tastes, and i t has never ceased to be a wonder to me that classes could have been held at all to the then prevailing style of work. I f President Butler has had time to consult the archives of Colby back to the records kept by Professor H amlin, he may have revived recollections of episodes during which he \Vas persona not alrngether grata to the Faculty. Certain details not written would show, however, that the facts rather foreshadowed than prej udicecl the fit ness of the person in question for his present position. I haYe known college faculties to be in a condition appar ently beyond improvement by any m eans of grace ex cept those operated by graceless student Readers may supply the connections for themselves. I merely observe that any progress which President Butler's official labors may produce at Colby will not be abso lutely his first contribution of the kind to the college. President Butler's career as a student may well ' be used to ill ustrate the practically constant law that the rating which a college st udent gets in the average estimate of his associates pretty accurately represents the standing which he will have in mature life in the estimate of j udicious men . The student who is tolJ J6

erated but despi sed ; he who is understood by his acquaintances to be overrated ; he who i s held higher by tho e who know him best t han by t h mass ; he who i conspicuous by force of merit that all concede ; each will in all probabili ty go through the world i n t he same relat i ve pos ition. Character rarely encoun ters a more i nerrant test than the scru t i ny of college l ife. Alumni ten y ears or more from grad u at ion w i l l al most unan imously test i fy t h a t the world h a s been regularly rat ifying the tacit j udgments of student days upon all their college mates. More t han this, the career of gray-hai red men i s daily made or marred by evidence from their college record. I am not referri ng to what is technically known as " rank " i n scholar h i p, b u t to the ent i re personal equation, for which t here is no technical expre ion, an estimate of which, however, is stamped in the m i nd of every col lege man in connect ion w i t h each of his fel lows. What a man shows himself t o be in the various rela t ions of college days, i a safe ind x as a rul e of what he w i l l remain in the end. The men who were stu1 nts at Waterville from '69 to ' 73 view the honorable and i n fl uential career of President Butler up t o t h e present t im e a s a con istent matter of course. As t hi sketch fai l cl to start in the l ines of a hronicle, i t would violate the dramatic unit ies to

117

d igress i nto formal details of President Butler's life · nor is this nece sary, since the enterprisii;:ig newspaper press has made that service s uperfluous. It cannot be too forcibly said, however, that in drawi ng Nathaniel Butler from the v est, Colby created a o more conclusive evidence vacancy which is felt. of a man's accrued val ue could be alleged t han that h e i s m issed from the maelstrom o f men whose vortex i Chicago. If there is a man of his age who is better known and more widely loved in the M i i sippi Vall ey, I have not heard of him. \ herever I go, with i n a radius of five hundred m iles of C h i cago, I meet men of promin nee who speak with re pect and esteem of Professor Butler. One of h i former asso ciates at the I l l inois State U niver i ty, at Champaign, tells m e t hat the name of Professor Butler i held in al most fi l ial re erence by large portions of the people in that city. Both as a preacher and a a University Extension lecturer, h i s reputat ion i n the pri ncipal towns of this central region ha� steadi ly enlarged . _ The present standi ng of the U ni\·ersity Exten sion en terprise at the Un iversity of Chicago is i n great measure d u e t o Profe sor Butler's tact and effi ciency.

was necessarily delegated. Conservative members of the Faculty, fi.S well as i ndifferent people among whom i t was necessary to create a demand for instruct ion, eyed the plan askance. During the fi rst year of the experiment its most sanguine friends found little to sustain their hope of success. At the end of the ini t ial year Professor Butler was placed in charge. I t would b e too much t o say that t h e formative and ex perimental period in the history of this educat ional departure is already passed. Professor Butler's ad m inistration of the enterprise has at all events secured for it consideration and respect, both within and with out the niversity, which it did not enj oy when he became Director. The fact that so much of this change is j ustly credited to Professor Butler explains Presi dent Harper's strong desire that he should complete the work so auspiciou ly begun. We often tell college students that they should aim to be men first and professional men afterward. Pre ident Butler is a genial embodiment of that pol icy. His fitness to be a college President rests upon his . ymmetrical manhood. He is a fi rst-rate speci men of a good citizen. hatever is worthy in fam ily and church and state has his spontaneous sympathy and support. Mrs . Butler, who was M iss Florence Reeve Sheppard, of Chicago, shares and

I I8

seconds his sympathies and his ambitions. President Butler's home, as well as his classroom, the pulpit and the lecture platform, will be a part of his equip ment for educational and civic influences. The official duties which Professor Butler re signed at Chicago were so largely administrat ive that I used to tell him his moral qualities were of no visible use. I have no fea rs that any college Presi dent will lack opportunity to exercise all the moral excellencies which he may possess. If there is a flaw in President Butler's armor it may be traced to one of h is virtues. He may lack the dash of egot ism which makes some men succeed by adhering to conviction even to the extreme of offending their best friends. H i s refinement and courtesy may relax his tenacity of purpose before he has carried his point in defiance of accusation by opponents that he is headstrong and stubborn and dictatorial. My pred iction is, however, that without approach to this alternat ive, his discre t ion and diplomacy will make him a leader whom all the friends of Colby will del ight to follow. Be has large but just concept ions of what education should do and of what a college should be. May the stage of Colby's work to be hereafter associated with President Butler's name prove more pro perou and beneficent than any previous section of her hi tory. ALBlO W. SMALL.

WY ER was late to chapel that morning. It was all the fault of Professor Atticate, who had de tained him after the eight o'clock recitat ion to tell him that he was cut out in Greek. He th ought that Professor Atticate m ight have done this much more neatly i n fewer words, for he had begun by speaking of the h igh quality of Mr. \Myer's work at fi rst and went on to say that i t had gradually deteriorated till now it was not up to the standard. Wyer listened politely till the professor was through, t hen h e ran down stairs t wo steps at a t i me whistl ing " She never saw the streets of Cai ro," just to let the professor know that he didn't ca re. The chapel bell was ringing more and more faintly, and by the door stood Sam, his black face as bright and cheerful as the buttons on his new suit, beckoning to him to h urry. As he entered and went to h is place in the sophomore seats, he was glad that he was not a freshman to be " wooded up." The president rose to give out the hym n and said : " The service will be cond ucted by the Rever-

end Mr. Wyer, of Johnston, Class of ' 5 8 . " David gave a start of surprise for there on the platform at the last person in the world whom he would have expected to see that morning-h is father. Of course he was glad to see his father-who wouldn't be ? But-and the though t almost vexed h i m this morning-what d id h is fat h r mean by sur prising h i m l i ke this ? By appearing before h i m i n such a n unceremon ious fashion without a: word o r sign ? It couldn't be that he suspected anything. But they were begi nning the hymn, so he sang the word's mechanically and read the response with the others. Then his father, Rev. M r. Wyer, of Johns ton, rose to offer prayer. David Wyer did not hear a word of that prayer-h is thought were too busy. The fam i l iar voice carried h i m far away, home to J ohnston. He saw the slender spi re of hi father's church rising from among green maple t rees, the cozy white parsonage with green blinds and the rose bushes by the doorstep, the modest looking brown h igh school building. Then came a confused recollect ion of commencement day, with its music and flowers, and of his old teacher's saying something to his father

one after another the cla ses filed out. David Wyer walked t raight up to his father and cla p a hi hand. " Father, thi i a surpri e." " Ye , DaYid. I did not decide to go to the conven t ion at Gardin r till yesterday afternoon and then th re was no time to write. I ha\'e onlj a few m in utes i n town thi morni ng, but on my way home I shall stay here e\·eral hour . " " nd mother- · h e is wc11 ? " ' Ye , she ent her lo,·e and wi heel m e to tell you not to work too hard. \ e both fc I that your health is of the first i m portance and that there i more clan ger of your neo-lect ing that than your work." " Oh, I'm all right, father." They pa ed down the tep in ilence. The father' eye were i ntent on the fam iliar cene b fore him. Men and ' omen were pouring i nto Champlin H all, while a few others were \ ending their way to Coburn. l ittle group of men stood talking at the bill board, many more were ru nninO" a race aero the campu to the tation where the train tood nort ing and puffing impati nt to be off. " Good-bye. I hall see you again to-morrow,' -and his father wa gone. David's head was in a whirl as he went up to h i room. I t had all pas e d o quickly that he had hardly real ized the train upon hi nerve . He at down t o t h i n k it all oYer. He felt ob tinate, stubborn at war with hi mself, he hardly knew how. The oppo ing force of hi nature were truggling for the mastery.

and mother about " splend id record ," " make his mark "-he could ee their proud faces. He remem bered his fi r t gli mpse of Col by the campu with its green elms, the willows lead ing down to the ri er, the halls who e names he had not yet learned-how pleased he was with hi own room in South College, j ust over the reading room, looking out on Iemorial Hall and the river. He had done remarkably well that fi rst term, but since th en-well, he had always managed to look out for hi own term bills. How could he h lp it if his rank wasn't o good as it u ed t o be ? He had grown broader, b e told hi mself, more willing to sacri fice elf to the intere ts of his alma mater. The his fraternity wasn't very well repre sented in certain l ines. It made a good showing in general cbolar hip, but it needed to do a little better in athletic ; and furthermore b e had found a chance to do ome out ide ' ark, which brought him i n a little · money for extras. H is father knew of all these things and took pride i n them, but he had n't a ked to see the term bills, and now his son was cut out i n Greek. However, the worst, i ndeed, the only embarras ing feat ure of the case was the fact that his people, and all the neighbor , too, ' ere determi ned to regard him as the bright part icular star of the college. But how could h e hel p i t ? \, ell, it would all come out now, and as l ikely as not they would call him a hypocrite ; at any rate his father would look very gra ·e-he had such rigid notions of honor and all t hat sort of t hing. The prayer wa ended, the announcements read and 1 21

" I will not be a book-worm, a chalky-faced, stupid digger ! I'd be anything else fi rst. Tottering on the brink of the grave at commencement clay, or else doomed to a thin-chested, wretched existence for the rest of my l ife, a laughing-stock to all the fellows and the girls, too, for that matter. " This was an eminently sensible t hought, so he fol Â lowed up his advantage. " That isn't the kind of a fellow father admires ; he would be disappointed, I know, to have me turn out like that. He'd rather I wouldn't take an honor in college." This, too, was re-assuring. " It isn't my fault if the folks at home have their heads full of the notion that I ' m a great scholar." This was bad , bad, for when the mental m ill gets to grinding out excuses i t i safe to concl ude that someÂ thing needs to be excused. " But why have you deceived them ? " Thi was dangerous gro;.ind. It was al l nonsense, of course. So he turned in a new direction. " Professor Atticate had no business to cut me out. It's all because he has a grudge against me. He never liked me from the fi rst. He let Wilkins and Beverly pass and I 've done better than they. I hate h im. I 'll slight his work from this t ime on." This wa a brave resolution, but somehow it did not settle the thing. " What are you going to say to your father ? " " 0, hang it all , " he said aloud , " it's a pretty mess.

I shan 't try to straigh ten it out. Let affair take their own course. " As if that were not the seed of the whole matt er, his over-read iness to let affairs take their own course. He rose and went to the wrndow. There was a little scrap of paper on the sill. H alf unconsciously he unfolded it and read : D i agnosis of George S hepherd"s case :

H e smi led to himself as he read it. He knew th.at the girls at Ladies' Hall called his room-mate's sister " The Doctor. " It had seemed to him a good joke. Why, once he saw her almost faint away when a felÂ low got hurt in the cane-rush. That slip of a thing the doctor ! He went to the mantel and took clown her picture. " Who knows but what she could prescribe for my case ! " he said. He turned the photograph over and read on the back : ' A perfect wom an nobly planned , To warn, to comfort, to command."

One of the juniors had pencilled it there one day when he had happened in. Wyer was not a little surprised to think that Shepherd hould have let th junior do it. He had not seemed at all offend d. But i t had irritated Wyer that the junior should have thought of those lines, for they were line which he 1 22

had bel ieved it hi own part i cular privilege to asso ciate with Edith Shepherd. He had felt l ike sayi ng : " You j uniors tlu"nk you k now everything," but he had decided that it would do no good, so he had kept still. " I wonder whether I want to be warned, or com forted, or commanded ?-a l i ttle of all t h ree perhaps, " he said to him el f. The bell was ringing. It was t i me for her to be com ing out from reci tation. He would walk down \\iitb her. H e happened out the door j ust as she passed. " M iss Shepherd," he sai d , " may I walk down with you ? " " Certainly," she repl ied. H e seemed ill at ease, and began the conversation by remarking what a pleasant clay it was. " Ye-es," she said. Then he noticed that it was rather cold and gray and wished that he had not vol u nteered the remark. He talked on rapidly about everything else but what was uppermost in his mind. He told himself that he couldn't jump right into it at fi rst. I t would be an awkward thing to do. But the farther they went the more awkward a thing i t seemed. v hy hadn't he thought out beforehand how he should express himelf ? A long freight trai n wa passing and they had to wait for it. He was glad of the delay. The little doctor noticed h is confusion and pitied him from the depths of her h eart. They had almost reached the hall. There was only

a moment left. H e m ust im prove his opp rtunity. But what was he to say ? Feel ing that under uch circumstances he who hesi tates is lo t, he plunged boldly into h is subject. " Dr. Shepherd," he said " I want to con ult you in your professional capacity. " " I hall be very glad to do what I can for you," she said, and waited for him to go on. " My case i s a peculiar one," he contin ued in embar rassment, then stopped again. " In deed ! " she said, and there was more ympathy in her voice than h e could have hoped for. " What is it ? " H e hesitated, but she was looking at him, and as a rational being he was bound to make some reply. " It i s-it is-the headache ! " H e was as much surpri eel, when he had said it, as she was. H e had not dreamed that he wa going to make that reply. " My remedy," she said, and there was the least sus picion of a twinkle i n her eye, " is smell ing alt and hot-water bandages." J ust as they came up the walk, one of the fre hmen girls opened the door and said : ' Excuse me, but we want you, Edith," s there wa nothing for him to do but to say " Good-morning " and turn away. " Donkey ! " he said to h imself. " I couldn't have made it worse if I had t ried. Smelling al ts and hot wat er bandages ! She m ight have de pised me, though, if I had told her." 1 23

Rev. M r. 'vVyer was i n excellent spmts when he walked across t h e campus with h is so n the next morni ng. A visit t o his abna mater was a rare t reat to him, for a poor country pastor like himself, with a son i n college, could not afford many l uxur i es. First they went to the room in South Coll ege look ing out upon the river and Memorial H all. H ere t hey sat talking for some t ime. The father naturally was i n a retrospective mood and the son was only too glad that it was so. Then t hey went to the l ibrary, that M cca to which the feet of the r t urning alumni are irresist ibly drawn. To them it is a spot full of sweet and haunting memories. As potent as ever is the charm f the rows on rows of volumes. More beau t iful than of old seems the scene beyond, when between them and their lo t youth flow the year .as wiftly as the Ken nebec. It was qui t there that morni ng. A few of the j u n iors were making bibl iographies, two or three fre hm n w re studying in the u1 per alcoves, and a senior stood by the rnagazine table glancing at the Centur_y. The librarian was busy at his de k, but not too busy to give t h e visitor a cor lial welcome. David \Vyer and his father passed from one al cove to anot her, talking of the changes which time bad made at Colby. Fi nally they t urned to go. " I s Prof. Att icate bu y at this hour ? " said Mr. \ yer to the librarian. " I want to see him. H e is an olcl frien<l of mi ne. " o, you will fi nd him in his room."

David Wyer's hear t stood still for an instant. I t had come at last. Thi s was the course that affairs had taken. He had been wondering all along what h e should say to his father, h o w he should acquaint h i m w i t h t h e i nj ustice a n d favoritism o f Prof. Atticate, and with his own hard luck, and now t here was no chance to say a word. But his father was saying, " I shall not be more than fi fteen mi nutes. I will meet you in your room," and was gone. David Wyer went slowly to his room. hepherd, his room-mate, sat at his desk writing an art icle and did not look up. In less than five minutes \ yer had . worked himself up to a high pitch of indignat ion agai nst the world in general and Prof. Atticate in part icu lar. " H e'll tell father all sorts of stuff ! " he thought. " What right has he to- " The door opened and Rev. Mr. \Vyer entered . David could hardly bear to look up. H e remembered ud denly how white his fathe1·'s hair had grown and how feeble he looked. He hated to face those keen gray eyes. " David," said his father, " there's j ust time to catch the t rain. Hand me the val ise and I 'll take your Ec!to to read. Shepherd, I hope that w shall se you at J ohn ston somet ime. " Father and son went down the stairs together. " David," said Mr. Wyer, as they crossed the cam pu , " I am sorry to go so oon, but I have enj oyed it all. I t did me good to see Prof. tt icate. I spoke to him 1 24

about you and he said,"-Davicl drew a lonir breath and clenched h i hand-" t hat you ha e great ability. David, I'm proud of you. We shall look for you home ne t week. Good-bye." The t rain wa gone. I t was dark and dismal, and a few flakes of snow were fall ing. " Come on , \ ) er. Going over to the Brick ? " called out one of his class-mate . But h turned away and tr cl off alone. " vVhat' the matter with v yer ? " some one a k cl . " They say t h a t h e ' s been c u t o u t in Greek," m e o n e else olunteered ; " probably h is father has been giving him a lecture not down in tl: e cour e. " *

Chapel was over and the classe were fi l i ng out. For the second ti me in h i son coll ege course the en·ice had been conducted by Re,·. M r. \\ yer, of

" He stand among the fir t in hi cla " aid the pre ident fran kly, ' and while h i work i n Gr ek ha been e pecially 11oteworthy, his work a a whole ha been remarkably symmetrical and w 11 balanc cl.

In a ery brief autobiograph ical ketch, prefixed to h i s vol ume of Poc11ts of Hc11te and Co111ll1:r, Dr. Smith has spoken of h i m as his congen ial and beloved class-mate, affirming that " i n the progress of seventy years, lack ing one," their m utual friend hip was never " abated " nor their tender fellowsh ip " lessened." This friendsh ip has on each side found exquisite expression in song. Among Dr. Smith s published poems nothing i s better than that i n memory of Dr. H olmes. From college he went at once to Andover Theo logical Seminary, graduat ing in 1 83 2. There, he says, he " wrote the hymn 11/j1 CozmbJ1, ' t is of t!tce, The llforning L igld is breaking, and many others," learned four languages and read through M r. Mar h man's Chinese Grammar,-a v a t quarto, nearly a large as a fam ily Bible. After a year of editorial work in Boston he cam e to vVaterville.

S M I T H is perhaps most widely known as simply S. F. Smith, the titles falling away that the man may be seen. H i widest and most last ing fame is clue to his spiritual and pat riot ic songs. But Colby U n iversity and the city of Waterville have an added and special reason to cherish his m emory. For exactly eight years, from J anuary 1 , 1 834 to December 3 1 , 1 84 1 , he was Act i ng Professor of Modern Languages in the College and pastor of the F irst Bapt ist Church in the town, and j ust before his death he made the College, by his will, the residuary legatee of his property. He was born in Boston, Mass. , October 2 1 , 1 808, " under the sound of the Old orth Church chi mes," he ha fondly added . After t h ree years i n the Eliot chool, Boston, he prepared for college in the Boston Lat in School , graduating in 1 82 5 . I t was to h i m a " grateful experience " t h a t he w o n i n t h e latter both t h e " Franklin Medal " and, for a n Engl i h poem , a " gold medal." H e at once entered Harvard College and was graduated in 1 8 29 . In th i s c l a were evera.. l m e n w h o afterwa.. rd atta,i ned great 1 27

of the Baptist Church twelve years and a half, and for seven of these years was ed itor of the C/1ristian Review. After resigning his pastorate he served fi fteen years as editorial secretary of the American Bapt ist M issionai·y U n io n , preaching almost con stantly as stated .s upply. To the end of his life he was abundant in fruitfu l literary labors. Of books h e wrote L ife of R ev.

He kept himelf i n close sympathet ic relation with I i ing men and was ready to respond to every call for a song on a public occasion. A large part of his poems are thus of local, tem porary, occasional in terest. H is social nature was rich and deep. He excelled i n conversat ion,-h umorous, racy, instructive, copious, drawing out and giving out, enlivening and enrichi ng. A visit in his cottage-home was a charm that ever after conti nued to charm. M rs. Smith was his fit compan ion from the t ime of their marriage in 1 834, and still survives him. They were lovers from the begin n i ng. In 1 875 they visited Europe together and again in 1 880, when they extended their j ourney to eastern Asia, visiting their son, Dr. D. A. W. Smith, President of the Karen Theological Sem inary, and various mi ssionary fi elds. Dr. Smith kept to the end a remarkable v ital ity. He was ruddy of countenance, young of heart, ready for work, and full of genial good ch er. H is whole past life seemed to live on i n him as an ever present. Only two years ago he sent a sketch of his ·waterville past o rate to be read at the 75th anniversary of the church, and it was a mi nute, exact, unblurred photo graph of men, women and eyer.ts.

"WELL,

True Tltles of Old Times.

I 'm a Colby man myself," aid the distinguished-looking gentleman who sat n ext to me. " It wa vVaterville College in my day, but I call myself a Colby man j ust the same. Great times we used to have too. " eeing that the J udge (for such he was) was in a r miniscent mood, I offered him a cigar and pro ceeded to d raw him out by alluding to the famous cannon escapade in which inety-six and Charlie Turner figured o prominently. " \ e had a cannon racket i n my day," said the J udge, as he slowly lighted hi cigar. There was j ust one cannon in town then, and we got it upon the campus one night , and gave it a hot t ime too. e planted it out back of South College, and fi red chains and rocks at a hou e acros the river. Of course we let the citizens come after their cannon when they wanted it ; but we had enj oyed the night's fun so much that only a few nights later we sacked the cannon up again. Next time the citizens hid it, but we found it. For lJl

two weeks they did their be t to put it where we could not find it, but we were too much for them. All this time the Faculty wa trying to top our port but they were unsucces ful. One morning after a celebration we looked for the cannon, but it was gone. \ e searched for it diligently, but i n vai n . For \ eek and months we were on the lookout for it, but it ne er was discovered. Some t wenty year after I graduated I happened to meet youn<Y --, who used to t utor in my clay. \i e got to talkin<Y o\·er the old ti mes, and I mentioned the cannon. ' Now, ' aid h e, I don't suppo e you know what became of that, o I will tell you. bout nine o'clock one e\·ening Prex. called at the hou e where I roomed, and wanted m e to g o w i t h h i m . W e went up toward t h e College, and then turned off i nto the pa t ur e which you re member, occupied a large territory back of the pre ent location of the station. The pa t ure wa pretty well grown up to alders and pruce, and we had hard ' ork to pick our way through . At length we came

to a s mall opening, and right before us I saw what appeared to be a grave. I was considerably surprised, but my surprise was i ntensified when Prex. handed me a spade, which he brought from a clu � p of bushes, and told me to dig the grave deeper. I obeyed, for I was only a t utor, and Prex. was not to be fooled with. I worked for nearly an hour, during which time Prex. was reconnoitering. I could see h i m steal ing from one clump of bushes to another, as if he were a fugitive escaping from j ustice. Once I thought I saw a man emerge from a thicket and ad vance toward Prex. You may rest assured that strange fancies were running t h rough my head. Soon I heard the crushing of bushes accompanied by faint grunting and puffing, and, secreting myself in a clump of alders, I awaited developments. I was satisfied that something dark and mysterious was being done ; for when the m idnight workers came within sight I could see that they were nervous, and frequently re t raced their steps and looked cautiously around. When they came very near, I recognized Prex. and the four professors, and you may j udge of my sur prise when I saw that they were dragging the cannon toward the grave. I now understood the situation, and advanced from my position to aid the professors,

for they were having a hard time. Old Dr. X. was fat, you remember, and he was puffing l ike a man-of war. The old cannon is still sleeping over back of the station, and I shall never forget the night it was planted.' " The J udge knocked the ashes off his cigar and re sumed. " Did you ever hear of the gift we presented to Bowdoin ? " he asked. I assured him that I was ignorant on that point. " Well," he said, " in the President's office there used to be a bust of President Champlin . One night some of us fellows got the bust, packed it, and directed it to Bowdoin College. We wrote a letter to the Bowdoin faculty stating that we, the Colby faculty, desired to present a gift to that inst itution . Three days later President Champlin received a letter from the President of Bowdoin thanking him for the valuable gift. The good President comprehended the situation at once, but he could never summon sufficient courage to ex plain matters to the sister college. So to-day the bust of President Champlin stands in the Walker Art Building among the busts of other emi nent men ." H ere I had to leave the J udge ; but I went away thinking of " the good old days.

�Q£ U1Ubdung £nlidr. Tl1e Great German EjJic.

[Knowing that many of our students will be glad to read this famous epic of which they have heard o e assure our readers that our translat ion, both in pirit and lanm uch, we have decided to publish it in full. guage, is a ast improvement over the original German version.] Had issued as from the depths of Hades, And parted them evermore.

The moon looks down from starry skies, The wind sn eaks through the boughs, Beneath t hem sit a youth and maid On the steps of the Palmer H ouse.

The moon makes haste to h ide its face And wrap its nose in a cloud, The wind sweeps by at a fearful pace And shrieks " Well, I ' ll be blowed ! "

The n ight is hushed, they do not speak, 'Tis bliss enough to sit and gaze ; H e notes the soft curve of her cheek, H er dainty looks and winn ing ways.

She tries to get her breath and run, She reaches the smoky hall ; The girls have gathered, every one, They have smelled i t each and all .

A s udden change comes o'er his m ien, He spri ngs back from her side, She looks around, but nought is seen, Though the door stands open wide.

They searched, o n e here, another there, In attic, chamber, hall and cellar. They swore it should go hard with h i m , I f they could fi n d the guilty feller.

It was no form of flesh and blood That came from out the door. He left as fast as ever he could ; He'll ne'er be seen t here more. She sees it all-a terrible smell From every window and door

At last upon t he cause they came, They knew not what to say ; Old rubbers were cast to the furnace flame. 1 33

T!te Dutclmzan was going away.

A rapping here, a tapping there Tells neighbors far and wide, That they are goi ng, Frau an d H err, To lea e their fi reside.

There is the university Of famed immortal Kiel, Fond tales of which we've often heard The Dutchman gladly reel.

At last the time comes, all too slow, Farewell of friends to takeIn half an hour the t rain will go, And they m ust not be late.

He'll smoke his pipe and drink his beer, Nor ever need to shave. Perchance for us he 11 drop a tear On some old poet 's grave.

Then Vater and Georgie go ahead, And M utter and H erman behind ; The students follow the Dutchman's lead, You'd have thought he was Father Gleim.

What sight is this that chills my blood ? H ave I my senses lost ? Strange fears roll o'er me in a flood , My soul is terror-tossed.

The station is reached, the t rain comes in. " vVell, Dutchy, good-bye," says one. " Come papa ! come mamma ! " i s heard through the d in, I t comes from each l ittle son.

Have I in sleep the summer spent And now has come the fall ? Or are the ghosts of men oft sent Our visions to appal ?

The t rain puff off, shouts rend the air Of " Col by ! Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! What's the matter with H erman their son and heir ? With Georgie, papa, and mamma ?"

'Tis surely Dr. Marquardt's form At du k I see go by, With flying coat and waving arm And frenzy in his eye.

H e' gone back now to his Vaterland, The land of meerschaum pipes and beer ; The be t of lands, of all mo t grand, The land wh ich he holds dear.

Ah, no ! my sen es fail me not, 'Tis he come back to find His steamer t ickets, quite forgot, As rubbish left behind.

Old Goethe, Schiller, H erder, Gleim, And \ alter von der ogelweid, 11 the e dwelt there in ancient ti me, These poets known so far and wide.

The m idnight bears him from the town, His pleasure's clouded now. With t ickets clutched and hat pulled down, He longs to reach h is frau.

f tsraftrrial. I ' m rather late to supper , You ask me what it means, That I com e i n so meekly To sup upon cold beans ?

At last Brown said to John on : " You going down my way ? " And they went off together, Morosely, I m ust say.

Since I came up to college, There've been two of the boys \ ho've asked me out so often Life's been a round of j oys.

They want me to consider The merit of their frat . They eye each other grimly, Quite l i ke a pair of cats.

They happened i n at tea-ti me, But they were so polite That neither would invite me, White t 'other was in sight.

Ju st now they l ive l ike prince , And fare like king and queen , But later in the sea on Perhaps-they eat cold beans.

ll o nlrulef. " A violet by a mossy tone H alf h idden from the eye," Is not so hidden as one thinks, And k nows who's going by.

They sit down on the mos y tone, Unmindful of the v iolet nigh, They think that they are all alone, With no one round to py.

A dark-eyed maid and a dark-eyed lad, A lad with curling hair, re often seen when the woods are green, A very handsome pair. 1 35

Let this remi nd that maiden fair, And also the lad with the curling hair, That when they think t hey're all alone, A violet grow by a mo sy stone.

A STORY about my college days ? let me see. Did I ever tell you how Dally went to the fi re ? Never did ? v ell, then I ' ll tell you that. Twas the night of the n ight-shirt parade, about the middle of ] une, I should say, and decidedly warm, even at m id night. After the parade we boys had been amusing ourselves changing the po ition of some of the landmarks , on the campus, when about one o'clock , I ·, • ,1 I we caught sight of a blaze over the tops of the houses toward the upper end of the town. The whole crowd started on the run for what looked l ike an unu ually fi ne fi re. But before we had gone far we found that the fi re was some distance out into the country. Mo t of the boys, one by one, t u rned back until four of us, H op and Arthur and Dally and I , found ourselves alone on the outskirts of the city. iVell,

Dally wanted to turn back too, but the rest of us said the fi re was only a l ittle way off across the fields and we were not going to have our run for nothing. The pecul iar th ing was that Dally was bashful about going back alone. You see he was all undressed when he heard there was to be a parade, and he didn't stop to put on any clothes under his n ightshirt. The rest of us had taken our togas off before the fun on the campus began. Dal ly didn't want to stop to dress and so he very d iscreetly kept his on. And there he was, a quarter of a mile from the bricks, in nightshirt, glasses, cap and shoes. And somehow he d idn't seem anxious to go back through the streets alone. I suppose he felt as if our company protected him from the " blows and buffets of the world " to which he had so much surface exposed. At any rate when we started off across the fields Dally discon solately followed. The fi rst field was all right, but when we climbed

m iles ahead. Dally would ha,Âˇe gone back long ago but for the thought of the th icket behind and the terrors of a sol itary passage through the city st re ts in a costume rather more suited to the time than the place. At la t, the hayfields came t o an end, and we comforted ourselves with the thought that our passage would now be easier at least. Dally began to grow cold, so H op lent h i m his coat, and the upper half of the nightshirt was eclip ed. The lower half still flapped disconsolately about Dal ly's leg .

the fence into the second we found ourselves in a regular j u ngle of bushes and thorns. Dally's nightÂ shirt caught on the brambles, his bare legs were scratched and bruised, his glasses tu mbled off. vVhen the rest of us had struggled through the tangle we missed him, but a plaintive voi ce told us that he was near and soon we caught sight of his white n ightshirt in the darkness of the th icket, shining like a good deed in a naughty world. We thought the worst was over now and pressed eagerly on. We found ourselves next in a hayfi eld where the grass was up to our waists and dripping with dew. I n t wo m inutes we were wet to the skin from the wai st down. We felt as if we were wading i n three feet of water. Dally d idn't like the feeling of the wet nightshirt flapping agai nst his legs, so he carried out the idea of wad ing by gathering i t up around his waist, girding up his loins like the prophets of old. The rear view thus presented was irresistibly suggestive of the maternal slipper, and no doubt if Dolly's mater had been there, she would have applied . th at instrument vigorously. We waded on, through fi eld after fi eld of the same k i nd, while from each h illtop the fire seemed farther off than ever. When we started, i t was not more than half a mile away ; now i t was at least two 1 37

The next th ing we came to was a pasture, whose surface was a succession of rocks, hollows, and mounds, all covered with a decept-ive growth of ferns and moss. In the dark; i t was impossible t o pick our way, and every now and then Dally's white n ightshirt would d isappear from sight, as he stubbed his toe on a rock, and pitched headlong i nto an unsuspected

h ol low. But . he always emerged again a little more soiled and bedraggled, but still good-natured toward everything except inanimate nature. And so we kept on until the twelve labors of H er cules were nothing to the difficulties we had con q uered. At last, after hours (seem ingly) of t ravel i n g, we came to a road ! A n d right across this road, twenty rods back, was the burning house, still blaz-

ing brightly. Triumphan tly we started up the drive way, but there, in the l ight of the fi re, seated on a pile of furniture, Dally caught sight of a girl. H i s delicate modesty spoke a t once. Probably, the girl's apparel was not much more abundant than Dally's own , but the outer layer at least was more conven t io nal, and Dally could not bear the thought of em-

barrassing her. So he sent the rest of us along up the drive-way, while he squatted down in the tall grass by the roadside and rested from the labors of his j ourney. As we sat on a log before the blazing house, and questioned the family, who sat around silently watching the destruction of their ho m e, we could see Dally's round cheeks and nicely parted hair peeping at us above the tall grass, while the fi relight shone and glistened on his glasses. Before long we were astonished to see three more boys coming up the drive-way. H op remarked t hat he would not have believed there were three more such fools in college. These last three had come by the road instead of the fields ; but if their path had been smoother than ours, they vowed they had come twenty miles. When they caught sight of Dally's head above the top of the grass, they stopped to i nves tigate, and, fi nding it was Dally, they took pity on his forlorn condition and persuaded him that, with the coat over his night-shirt, his costume was perfectly modest and conventional. Thus urged, Dally over came his scruples, and all four joined us on our log. Whether the inhabitants of that neighborhood were accustomed to wear similarly simple toilets on their evening rambles, or misfortune had benumbed the senses of the recent inmates of the burning dwelling,

I n the pocket of H op's coat, Dally had found a cigar. H e lighted it, and t here he at on the log, h i s bare legs stretched o u t to the fire, t h e steam rising from the wet flaps of hi nightshirt, the cigar in his mouth, his face the picture of peace after pain.

not a word or glance betrayed their curiosity at Dally's un ique get-up, or wounded his sensitive feel ing . One thing did cut him a l ittle ; contrary to all his past exÂ perience with the fairer sex, the girl paid absolutely no attention to his presence.

mt _Jtait �arbatian. I'm here upon a visit, To Brother Jac k you know, He's been away at college About a year or so. H e's taken me out boating, And escorted me last n ight To a bang-up swell reception, 'Twas j ust way out of sight. A very lovely fellowHis name was Mr. G v as awfully attentive And more than nice to me. -

I told Jack so this morning, He was n't really pleased, And when I asked the reason, He sniffed until . he sneezed, And when I quite i nsisted That he should answer me, H e talked about not liking That G's soc£ety. I really am astonished, What can the reason be ? He surely had the manners Of good society. I wish you could explain it, I'm sure it's Greek to me.

� fp� ®radc 4Elritor's "l ament .. ..

I 've of ten heard t hose stories Of Punch without his mask, nd tales more melancholic One surely need not ask.

A fate of sighs proli fic, Abj ect and pitiful, I t is to help to edit The COLBY ORACLE.

But worse t-han all unmasking Behind the circus scenes, And sadder than the sorrows Of tinsel kings and queens,

There is no calling sadder, More lashed by fortune's gales, Than chasing funny notions, To sal t their fleeting tails.

I d reamed I crossed dark Styx's bank With Charon to old Pluto's shore ; And all unseen I l ingered by And listened as I beard them t ry The spirits t he boatmen ferried o'er. A sulphury glow around us shone From the fiery lak e below, As Colonel Page came t rembling up, And thus began the show. Old Pluto gazed upon him, And he at Pluto gazed ; He saw the imps around him, The lake t hat 'neath h i m blazed ; H e smelt the burning sulphur, Saw Pluto's forked tail : H is legs gave way beneat h him, His l ips sent forth a wail. " I say, old boy," he thus did quake,

" I don't j ust like this fi ery lake ; I g-guess I wasn't made to bake,I ' m going back-there's some mistake. " " Oh, ho ! " said Pluto, " you're j ust the lad I 've wanted ever and ever so bad. You were alway a sporty man at col leo-e, Neglected your le sons, cared nothing for knowledge ; You drank too much cider, with co-ord did fl i rt ; But now I have got you, don't cry if I hurt . I ' m a little short o f brimstone I fear, " And the tone of his oice made Colonel feel queer. " But sit right down by my cozy fi re." As Colon el obeyed, the i m pish choir Struck up " I'm a Son of a Gu n for Beer. " Then Jerry and Gerry, a t i m id pair, Came t rembling up through the sultry air, While J erry m urmured a if in prayer,

Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land ! " And then he stopped as if his sand Was surely failing h im, but no, He sighed in faltering accents low, Despite old Pluto's warning frown : " She used to go and walk with me, And sweet communion there held we. I ' d gently take her by the hand, And dream 'twas heaven's border land." And choked with weeping he sat down. Old Pluto smiled a fearful smole, He winked a wunk to a demon droll, And down, far down in the fiery hole, Poor Jerry and Gerry went swiftly flying. Said Pluto, " I 'll give them some reason for crying. " As the lambent waters closed agai n, H is Maj esty gave a horrible whoop, And the demons joined in the rousing strain, " J erry and Gerry are both i n the soup." But j udge how much I was taken aback When I saw that the next to come was Mac. Yet here he was with his usual smile Seeking old Pluto to beguile. Said he, in his own ret iring way,

As on his heart his hand he laid, " Why, all I did, you blooming jay, Was to si ng that ' Poor Little Country Maid.' From morn t ill dewy eve I sang, From eve t ill morn again, Until the Profs. in spasms fell, O'erpowered by the mournful strain." Old Pluto's eyes flashed forth his ire, He made him dance on coals of fire ; And as full sprightly, high and low, H e shook the l ight fantastic toe, In punishment for all his faults, The demon choir drew 'round the fire And struck up " They're Teaching McFadden to Waltz.'' But soon the awful chorus seemed to t ire, And went to put more brimstone on the fire ; When Brooks appeared, all dressed in his football gear ; In either eye there shone a glistening tear. " In the noble game of football I was skilled ; But I was also very, very careless. Full four-score men I know that I have killed, And many's the poor chap that I 've left hairless."

As thus he told h i s exploits bold, As thus he made his plea, Old Pluto was struck ; said he " H ere's luck ; I must have yo u to help me. " So h e set h i m u p o n a cake o f ice, On the banks of that sulphurous pool, And there he played pitch with the sinner , In a manner refreshingly cool.

I know i t was awfully wicked A nd now I am sorry 'twas done, But still, you old 1 ister Pluto, I can j ust tell you 'twas fun." They all were shocked to see his gu ile, And told him he might wait awhile, Before the gloomy fate he learned That his misdeeds bad richly earned .

Then Dally came up l i ke a sweet l ittle girly, With his boots well blacked and bis hair cut curly. Said he : " All the ladies were stuck on me And I used to lead them on ; Then I 'd go off and get another And leave them all forlorn. Full sixteen hearts for me did break But still my conscience did not wake.

There came a pause. " Are t hey all in ? " Old Pluto asked with a horrid grin ; When looming up through the m isty pall, I recognized the form of H all. But H all was calm and cool enough As h e strolled along the way, Or stopped to scrap with a shad e or t wo , A n d watch t h e spirits play.

" At last I met the prettiest girl, Perhaps she wasn't a dandy ! She l ived 'way down at the end of the town, So i t wasn't exceedingly bandy. Still about every evening, As the shadows would softly fall, I walked and talked with that damsel That seemed to me best of all.

Then Pluto's brow frown ed darkly As he recognized the man. The air grew hotter, hotter yet, And I looked 'round for a fan . Said Pluto : " Long I " ye looked for you . Oh, yes, I know you well, And nothi ng now can change your fate, Your tale you need not tell. 1 43

You are the man that was made to go To the Freshman reception, whether or no. Beside my reception, you find that was slow.Â Take him, my imps," he added low.

We carried all before us In those regions dark and evil, And Pluto grim and all his imps Ran l ike the very devil.

But H all lit i nto Pluto In his good old-fashioned style, And Brooksy bucked the centre For a quarter of a m ile. The rest of us then gathered 'round, From pool and sulphury bay And got into the interference In a rattling kind of way.

Then ere we sought out Charon, In his boat to cross again, We joined our merry voices In t hat grand old sweet refrain : 'AAaAa ! &AaAa ! &AaAa !

taken amidst the wrangling of the honorary members and Fuller was rej ected by a single ballot. PROF. TAYLOR : " Gentlemen, I vividly recall how gratifying i t would have been to me to have become a member of this order when passing through the or deals j ust previous to a Benedictine life. And I can not now see the wisdom of refusing the blessings of this organization to men who desire them, because I ' could not enjoy them myself. H . W. Foss would l ike to become a Benedictine and I offer you his name for consideration. It is tru e he has not as yet found his Beatrice, but our order would no doubt be a great assistance to him." PROF. BAYLEY : " Chief Multiplier, I rise to second heartily both the sentiment and the name as proposed by Bro. Taylor. This Foss'ill undoubtedly reflect great credit on our order. To briefly trace out his genealogy, Foss claims descent from ancestors whose remains have recently been found deep buried beneath the Cambrian Rocks. Mr. Foss clearly re calls the t ime when he l ived at home with Pa and Ma upon the paternal estate near the North Pole of the earth, which at that t ime was where the South Pole is now. He tells us that in those times the earth was reversed in its movements, that people used to walk backward and talk backward, that the planets of the solar system used to bump and thump against each other before they had chosen their several courses. Foss saw that the arrangement was not good, and

undertook a readj ustment. One day, as he was carry ing the North Pole to its proper place, his feet slipped on the Arctic ice, and the pole was lost in the Northern Seas. For countless ages he l ived the l ife of a mer maid in his search for the lost prize, but it has never been found. And I tell you, gentlemen, we cannot afford to disregard t he application of this grand old Fossil." G. P. : " I can not approve of t h is gambling on futures and I shall vote in the negat ive." Strange a it may seem Foss also was rej ected. W. I. : " I wish to present to you to-night the names of two very desirable men, H . C. Hanscom and H. E. Hamilton, who seek admission to our order, and I now move you that they be accepted by acclamation. " But no one arose to second the mo t ion or to offer a word in discussion. The Chief Multiplier then declared the names of both men re jected. When the course of the Association was announced to Hanscom, it is said he did not sleep for the n ight,* wh ile Mr. Hamilton fainted dead away, calling loudly : " Bring -me my Fan-my Fan ! " At this point the deliberations of the assembly were interrupted by a loud knock on the outer door. The M ighty Mystifier, having received strict orders from Chief Multipl ier, very cautiously opened the door, when some one in a cracked voice was heard to say, " To become a member of your order of Bene* Slept i n t h e morning instead.

Will you throw open your doors and recei e with outstretched arms one who has at heart the interests of this society more t han any other ? " H ere the door was closed and securely barred, and the M. M., turning to the C. M ., said, " Ch ief Multiplier, H. S. H all, of '96, with pleading voice and weeping ey es, beseeches us to adm it him to member ship in our order ; what shall we do ? "

G. P. : " Chief Multiplier, I have been requested to present the name of a reverend gentleman of 'g6 for membership i n our order, Fred W. Peakes . " M. M . : " I object. Never in the h istory of our College has a cla s been so imposed upon as '96 has by this man. He has wilfully and with malicious in tent v iolated the sacred rites of feasting and hos pitali ty. It is evident that h e would never be a good provider, and I m ove that we banish him forever from our sacred circle." (Carried.)

PROF. TAYLOR : " Chief M ultiplier, i nasmuch as our order has as yet not sufficiently mat ured for the ad m ission of the gentler sex, I move you that we pass a resolution advising M r. H all to connect h i mself with the ' Woman's Auxiliary,' which, I u nderstand, i being formed in this college, as an aid to our Ben edict ine Order."

W. I . : " There is one man whom we can hardly fail to accept. I propose, without further preamble, the name of M r. F. M. Padelford."

" I wish you people would get down to business before long and see if you can't do someth ing. In order for our Association to grow, we have got to have some good men. Now, I ' m going to propose the name of R ichard Pat Collins, and I shall feel disappoin ted if this man is not unani mously elected without a word of discussion. But hark ! It is cock-crow already. Come, come, let ' s g e t to business quick ; it i s almost time to adj ourn."

P R O F . BAYLEY : " I do not t h i n k we can accept Padelford. I have three charges to bring against him. First : I u nderstand he had the effrontery to ask Prof. Black who was Em peror of Rome when Pike fi rst entered college. Second : H e told Prof. Marquardt t hat his j okes were more modern than the del uge of Noah. Third : H e asked Stetson whether h e took E vans on his knee when h e wanted to talk to him. He evidently has a fl ippant m ind, and I there fore move that we lay h i m on the table."

C. M . : " Oh no, no, Prof. Roberts, that' s Baby Tooker that you hear. Don't be alarmed ."

M. M. : " He has been as del inquent as Peakes, and I second that motion . " (Carried.)

While i n the library one sweet summer day I lingered idly for a little space,

I came by chance upon a pictured face

Within an album ; neither grave nor gay ,

Nor any other word that I can say ,

But something better, for a nameless grace Within the deep eyes had its dwelling place , And on the lips and brow like sunshine lay . Somewhere a king ' mong men he acts his part, For all would tru st and honor such as he , Free from deceit and from the love of pelf. For him , a woman, yielding up her heart, Cou.ld softly say like Portia,

Sheridan's ride was a reckless one, Urged on by the roar of cannon, But a wilder ride I have in mind : 'Tis that of R ichard Shannon.

One evening as Dick s trolled along, Like any ancient knight, A cl reaming of his lady love _ ncl his last bloody fight,

The one rode clown to win the fight, And they ay he was mighty glad to. The other rode out one deep dark n ight, Because, alas ! he had to.

A whoop resounded th rough the air, H is savage foes had come ; They didn't give him time to swear Nor e'en to draw his gun,

Now Richard was a Freshman stout, The bravest in the land, And always took when he went out A pistol in each hand.

But quickly rush ing on the youth, Begirt him all around, And there despite bis mighty strength, They bore h im to the ground.

And oft to his admiring friends His deeds he would relate, How he'd m urdered one and wounded five nd fi red at n inety-eight.

A carriage stood beside the curb, They hustled him inside, And said, " ow, sonny, come with u , \Ve"ll ha,Âˇe a pleasant ride." 15-z

While we commend the system which, l ike the sermons of Roger de Co erly' chaplain, gi �·es us an epitome of the best literary work of the day i n the coll ege world, we would suggest that it would save both time and expense if the Eclw simply ga e the references instead of the laborious method of copying i n full. 3 .

U R I N G his recent visit to Wa b i ngton, Prof. Rogers announced to the men of science who were there assembled, the startling re sults of his recent experiments with the X-rays. Prof. Rogers was keen enoui:;h to see that substances so dense as the brains of the class of '98 would afford excellent subjects for his experiments. The resulting discoveries have electrified the scien tific world. The followi ng is the most complete account of Prof. Rogers's address which we were able to obtain. His statements were ill ustrated by stereopticon views. " GENTLEMEN :-Thus far it has been thought that the brain is always found in the top of the head . But it is not so. C + D * and myself hav discovered a new law of nat ure. We have found that the brain may be anywhere in the i n fernal-no, no, I mean internal regions-organs, and in that way we * C =Cole.

D = D urgan.

have found brains in several men who were not thought before to have any. This explains a good many things never explai ned before. " Having noticed some very peculiar characteristics about my sophomore class, I turned the X-rays on them and I got ome remarkable pictures. The most pecL1liar case is that of M r. \Vilson. I took an X-ray picture of his head, and got no results at all absolute blank. Then I tried the other end and got his feet. There was a pecul iar gray matter on one side that at first was deceptive, but upon mi nuter examinat ion I found that it was his brain. That ex plained clearly why he rattled his feet so in class, when he was studyi ng. I up po e he couldn't help it. Didn't seem to be the proper ratio though between the rattl ing and the st udying. [ _uery : D o rattl ing feet alway indicate brain

action ?] Hope I haven 't m i under tood ill) students too m uch i n the pa t. " We will now proceed from the feet up. Next man was i n the junior cla . He had a pecul iar out l i ne to h i lower l i m b . Th us far i t had been thought that they had been warped by the un. He i a very conceited man, and I thought there m ust be som ething abomina ble-abdom inal-no, no, abnormal about h i brain. But I made a remarkable d i covery on thi man. The brain is sometime immaterial, and someti mes it may be found outside the body i n the vicin ity of it. Such brains always ha,-e an antipathy against hard work. They can be di covered only by the X-rays. I took a picture of the lower half of h i m and you ee what I got ; that ciark shadow be tween the knee i the brain. The bape of h i s leg is pro duced by the very bad wel ling of his brain. H ere we will make a digre sion to note the fact that the h igher up the brain i , the more i ntell igence is found, and i1ice versa with conceit. That ' Lat in ; I do know some Latin. " The next man had a centrally located brain, betrayed b a marked enlargement on the outside. �

[ ote :- Yery good bu ine man · managed track ath let ic t h is year.] Thi protru ion cau ed a g od deal of di ffict:lty in fi n d ing his brain, i nce there wa uch a th ickne s for the X-ray to go throu h. I fi nally o\·ercame t h i d ifficulty by t urning h i m back to though he was o stuck on hi � face that it wa · hard work to per suade h i m to do so. t la t I found hi brain i n the m icldle of h is stomach , and this i confirmed by the fact that he always ha so m uch to ay ri ·ht after d inner. It i the re ult of pre ure . I found another peculiar man i n my ophomore cla s-:\ I r. Wellman. I not iced one day that h e didn't . e e m to haYe a n y brain . [1 ote : a very tall man with big feet.] Couldn't answer a ingle que t ion. I took a hadO\Ygraph of h im-most appropriate kind t o take - and couldn't fi nd a thino-. \ hen t h sophomore o-irl came i n , one of them an wered her own qu s t ion and the one I had a ked \\Tellman too. I t urned on the X-rays ancl

found two brains, both near her heart . H e thought so m uch of her-no, no, he thought of her so m uch t hat actual transference of brains took place. There is reason to suppose that this frequently takes place with immaterial brains. Expect to find many similar cases among our students. One such remarkable case occurs i n the Senior Class. H i s· name is C ollins ; he lost his brain in his Freshman year. " There is one more remarkable case s i mi lar to those that have been spoken of, but enti rely different. The man's name is H olmes ; he is i n the ] u n ior Class. His brain is very small and insignificant, but what there was I found in his lower j aw. [] oke : rolls it as a sweet morsel under his tongue, that's why I s uppose it's al ways in motion.] Allow me to say that this man is an excep tion to the general rule that the higher up we go the more intell igence is found. This is the exception which proves the rule. If it wasn't for this except ion the rule wouldn't be proved. There fore, this rule is proved. I needn't say that this al o proves the previous! y stated ·u£ce versa rule.

" l next tried to get Woodman's brain but I couldn't get any results. I found it impossible to get any ideas through his head, but it was very easily penetrable by the X-rays. It is a well-known fact to this Scientific Board that X-rays go through wood very easily. Draw your own conclusions. " We'll pass from these simple cases to a more complicated one. I have often not iced that C and D are apt to get their data j ust alike. When they had examples to do they used to get strikingly similar results. Remarkable coin cidence. At last I discovered the reason. C and D used to be around a good deal when I was taking X-ray pict ures, and when they got i n l ine the X-rays would throw a shadow on C's brain of what was in D's brain. Very wonderful discovery. After a good deal of diffi culty I got a shadowgraph of such a case. Nobody else ever got anything like it. We'll now pass to Sir Isaac N ewton, who was the greatest man of his time. H e was-no, no, wait a mi nute ; made a mistake-he was first to grasp the law of gravitat ion-what's the

OF T H E

You G

LADI E .

Under t h is depart ment I shall be h ighly grati fi ed to respond to all inquiries submitted to me by my dear girls. DA S I E :-Cards need not be left i n case the pro fessor fails to m ake his appearance.

you take i nto considerat ion the concluding sentence of the sketch ?

X :-( r ) No, it is not considered necessary, save perhaps at one's own board, for the sake of economy, to restore the tooth-pick to the h older after it has served its p u rpose.

U O P H lSTl CATED :-It is exceedingly bad form to attempt to attract the attention of your table-com panions to any laughable occurrence by kick ing them under the table. There is always the attendant clanger of not reaching the individual intended.

M ARY : - I should not regard it as sufficient cause for offense, if the young man you allude to as paying you such marked attention, leaves you alone during meal t i mes.

DuFFY :-No, I scarcely think it devolves u pon you to bestow upon the young man who hares your brother's apartments, a sister's care and tender de\'O t ion. If he appears to desi re uch m i n i trations, i t would be i n better taste to recommend h i m to t h e person i n charge o f this department.

A . L. K. AND H. M . H . :-It is a very pernicious pract ice to ventu re out-of-doors without carefully pro tect ing one' head with sufficient covering. Thi is one of the mo t certain methods of encountering a cold.

Ro_E-BU D :-No, t h e term " Echo, " a s a n appellat ion for a magazine, has no referen ce to the tende11cies of the said publicat ion simply to repeat what has al ready been uttered . It is derived from the Greek word f.xw, I have, and refers to its accompl i hments in the past .

A. E. E. :-Doubtless " Di e Journal isten " is a ch arm ing piece of fiction, but would not it presenta tion to the young man in question as a birthday remem brance appear a t rifle too suggestive, especially when 1 73

M U FF :-Even although you had been separated for so long a t i me (three whole weeks), would it not be wisest to indulge only in such greetings as would not necessitate your withdrawal from the society of your friends ?

FAIR DEMOCRAT :-Thomas B. Reed is not, I am sorry to say, a graduate of this University, but of a certain pretentious boarding-school for boys situated in a smal l town a few m iles below here. In every other respect we consider him fully quali fi ed for the position to which he now aspires, and can hardly see any adequate reason why a person even of your pe cul iar political proclivities should hesitat e to lend him your influence and support. LAURA :-There would not be any impropriety in a young lady's taking a stroll with a gentleman friend, provided it is with the knowledge and appro al of some fnend of maturer years and riper judgment, whom she should have pre iously made acquainted with the name, age, social status, moral character and ult imate inten t ions of the young man in quest ion.

I A :-If you wish to effect an egress from your apart ment d uring the hours of darkness, it is far better to quietly turn the knob and emerge, than to arouse the slumbering in mates of the house by ill-directed efforts to destroy the material which intervenes be-

tween you and the hall. The above recom mended method is even easier than calling on the head of the household to turn the knob for you. A. L. N. :-If your girl -friends have reposed so great confid ence in you as to create you a member of their governing assembly, we can hardly see that it is j usti fiable for you to make use of the privileges thus accorded you to connive at your own transgressions . M idnight revels, although exceedingly innocent in themselves, are never becoming to the dignity of such a position. H ARRY :-Although this column is especially de signed to subserve the interests of the young ladies, . yet you seem so much like one of the girls, that I cannot possibly experience any sensation of hesitancy in replying to your query. Surely, however, you can not on these grounds feel entitled to all the privileges accorded the young ladies. This will, I apprehend, be sufficient answer to your. question as to how fre quent and how extended occupation of the doorsteps of the ladies' dorm itories you may be permitted t enj oy. I f this does not satisfactorily adj ust all cl i ffi cult i s in your m i nd, I should be del ighted to en ter into personal com munication with you .

P. .-In the fi rst sentence you will not, of cour e, commit the unpardonable error of in ert ing the infini t ive part icle to before the word Like.
