Turn rolls around and once more a Senior H i story m u st be written. Glance at any Senior H i story of the past and you will see that each Senior Class claimed t o be the bright est, best and strongest, i ntellectually and physically, that ever " left the classic halls of learn i ng. But we do n ot cl aim t his dist inction. Facts are i ndisputable, and as we leave these associations of the past four years, we have some t h ings to regret. 'Twere better had many things been left u ndone, at least let us leave them u n said. As the t i me draws near for departure, we feel sorry to leave ; but, o n the whole, we are glad that our preparatory work i s completed, as far as college goes, and that we are t o t ry new fi elds. W e h ave seen some of our original n u m bers d rop out and new recuits j o i n our ranks. We cannot claim distinguished scholarship, but still we have our proportionate part of scholars. Many of our n umbers have been temporarily harassed by Chemist ry, Physics, Languages, etc., but they h ave managed to survive the ordeal, and if their flags are not proudly flaunti n g i n t h e breeze, yet they are n ot at h alf-mast. I n athlet i c sports w e have always been hampered b y lack o f n umbers, but rarely, i f ever, would you fi nd a class whose " sand " has d isplayed itself t o such a degree. On the t rack, diamond, gridiron, in " scraps " a n d " rushes," our " sand " h as tol d , and although we have succumbed t o n umbers, y e t we h ave always " fought a good fi ght. " In matri m onial ven t u res our class is apparently a u nit, although we have lost one man, to whose en raptured eyes charms of the gentler sex were i rresistible. O n e has had the courage t o declare openly his i ntentions, some are " has beens " and others are seeking " to be." A s a class we have always commanded the respect of our contemporaries. U nder our leadership athletic sports have received a new i m petus, and the Ee/to has again secured a recognized place among college publications. As we have said, we have m uch to regret, we have more to b e pleased at. We feel t hat our temporary failures have in many respects proven a blessin g, t hat our successes will spur us on to renewed effort i n t h e futu re. N in ety-Seven will always u n i t e t h e O range and Biack with th e B l u e and the Gray. 27

T H I has always been the motto of '97. If i n any way she has failed to live up to the spirit of her motto, let n o man, -or girl, either,-presume t o criticise her for it. For what girl, what college girl, hath attain ed perfection ? But even as we ask the question, forth from the echoing caverns of t h e Past, whither the college years have gon e with hurrying feet, comes the answer, borne to us by the breezes of praise, " '97 girls." Perhaps in some cases there is less need of modesty than in oth ers. In our four years here at Colby, we girls of '97 have done much as all other Colby girls have done. \Ve have worked and we ha e played , and all our days, our work-days and our play-days, have been very, very happy ones. W.e were meek and docile Freshmen, obeyed the Sophomores and d i d the bidd i n g of upper-class girls as all well-conducted Freshmen should. To be sure, we did have our Peanut D ru n k during t hat Freshman year, and that was in a Sophomore's room. The wrath of the powers that were came down on our defen seless heads for ome of the d eeds that were done that night, but those are things of which no loyal '97 girl will tell you. We also ducked a lawn-party of Sophomore boys and girls from the windows of Lad ies' H al l once in our Freshman sprin g, but i t was a clandest ine lawn party, and they deserved it. We continued as we had begu n . As Sophomores we did our best to train up in t h e way they should go, the amiable Freshmen committed to our care. Ask them if we didn't ! Our J u n ior year was very gay and full of all manner of good t i mes, with now and then a touch of some thing d eeper and more lasti ng. This was, perhaps, our happiest year, and i t passed the most swiftly of them all. Almost before we k n ew it, we were back in the old places as Seniors. H ere we have fou n d the t ruth of that old sayi ng, " Be good and you will be happy, but you won ' t have half as much fun . " We have been good, better than any year before. Our Senior year shows a record of hard, faithful work, such as we may well be prou d to look back upon. \Ve have been happy, too, but t ruly we have n ot had half as much fun as we used to have. No, we have been sedate and quiet and have set a most excellent example, one that t h e lower classes, alas, do not seem much i nclined to follow. \ e have gon e to few sociables, to fewer recept ions, to very few lectures and exhibitions, and as for the M essalonskee, i t i s forgotten land t o most of us. Ve ha,¡e stayed at home and st udied. Can it be that we girls are really what a heartless ] u n ior recently called u , " grass widows " ? Be t hat as it may, we are fi fteen happy, j oyous girls, and we are ready now t o go out from our Al ma M at er, to fill whatever places may be wai ti n g in the world for us. The m istakes that we h ave made-and they have been all too many-let those who come after u s avoid, and what little of good there has been in our acts, let them strive t o copy. H owever others may regard i t , '97 will always be t o us fi fteen girl s the symbol of four b ard but happy years, and t h e bond which shall bind u s closer than aught else.

To CONDENSE t h e history of '98 i n to even a large book would be a task o f n o small proportions, but we are asked to place o n a s ingle page that which shall, to generations yet unborn, stand as a signal memorial of what '98 has , and what she can still, acco mpl ish. We feel, with Artemus Ward's Shakeresses, that this i s i n deed " too, too m uch," and o n account of this " much n ess " we, too, are i nclined to abandon the task as hopeless. But posterity i mploringly calls to us, and we cannot bear to disappoint such a cry. As F reshmen, the largest class that ever entered these classi c halls, we were undoubtedly a huge success. Not even the doughty Sophomores with their bold-faced braggadocio could i n t im i date us, although it was only after re peated lessons that t hey fi nally l earned that we really did possess what we claimed to possess-viz: the campus, the whole campus, and all t h i ngs with the campus. This claim w e have n ever yet relinquished and i s now a n u n disputed possession of ours. Our career as Sophomores opened auspiciously o n Bloody Monday night, several of the Freshm e n being so elated at the event as to j oi n in the celebrat ion. (We are rem i n ded, by the way, that t he skirt-dancing of t h e evening was particularly m eritorious.) We endeavored, throughout t h e year, t o do our duty as the Lord H igh Stewards of H is Maj esty ct> X. That our immediate successors appreciated our efforts in this l in e, was evident from the marked i mprovement shown by all, certain members of this h eterogeneous conglomerat ion adapti n g them selves especially to our careful and t horough t reatment-the t reatment being : first, one dose Verbum Sap (which m eans a word to the w£se i s suffic ient), followed by l iberal ablutions of cold water, appl ied externally, and i n extreme cases applications of shoe-blacking salve, with m i d night walks. T H E WAR C RY was, of course, editorially assumed by us, and, from the illuminated frontisp iece, to t h e half-tone photograph o n the last page, i t was a noteworthy edition. In every detail our j ournalism was conducted on t h e principle, " Tell t h e t ruth, let t h e chips fall where they m ay ; " also " S£c Semper Tyrann£s." This l i n e of procedure, of course, assured the success of the edition, alth ough many t hought w e were m ean , you know ! Almost i mperceptibly we passed t he half-way m ark of our college course, and i n our most graceful manner soon acquired those digmties and quali ties which have, from t i me immemorial, character ized the J unior. We have relished the task that was m arked out for us, and, with assidious care, w e have succeeded in " layi n g out " Chemi st ry and its elder brother m u m m y Physiology, cold a n d stiff, i n t h e i r respective sarcophagi. T h e " Deutsche Sprache " h a s b e e n handled without gloves, a n d i n a l l departments we have m a d e ourselves a n ind ispensable quantity to Colby. We m u s t lay down o u r p e n , b u t w e wish those who h ereafter peruse t h i s memorial to remember that ' 9 8 £s, has been, and w£ll ever b e a t rue hustler f o r Colby and her i n terests. 31

IT was a long, long, st eep h ill, stretching up, up, and i n the d istance, on the s u m m it, could be seen a castle. Nearly t h ree-fourths of the way up t h e h ill sixteen girls were t o i l i n g , now laughing merrily, n o w s i l e n t , as if i n d espair. In the di stance below, another band of girls was seen, and at the foot, st ill another , but they were so far away t h at they looked like mere specks. At the gate of the castle a fourth company of maidens was about to enter. The s ixteen maidens looked u p at them w ith ad mirat ion, but did not qui cken their pace, a few even cast envious glances beh ind at t h e t ravellers below. The maidens were walking with a l ighter step than formerly, for they had, j u st before, left part of the load which t hey carried. I t made a h uge pile beside t he path- thirty-t wo large chemistry-books, sci ssors and i n n u me rable bottles of m uc ilage. " Take one," a placard read, sedu ct i \ ely. But not for long were they t o walk burclenless. Suddenly a skeleton appeared in their path, waved its long, bony arms, and from a large black box d rew out sixt ee n small, green vol u m es labelled H u xley, presented them, and walked away, followed by thirty- t wo m i sty eyes. The path now became very st eep, and the maidens were all the t i m e st u mbling over skulls which lay i n their way ; but, presently, the road became beaut iful again, and t hey gayly m arched on, s inging German songs. Some few of the maidens were every now and then t u rn ing their heads t o l oo k eagerly across to another h il l run n i n g parallel to their own. Up this h ill their " brothers " were t ravelling, and not u n freguently black figures could he seen steal i n g across th e valley to walk awh ile with the maidens ; some fou n d t h e path so easy that, l ike the Lot u s eaters, t hey forgot the way back. They now passed a sign which read , " J u nior Ease. " The maidens looked back along th e way which they had lately come, then their gaze travelled forward so far as the eye could see ; they looked at one another do ubtfull) , shook thei r heads and said, " Where is i t ? " The wind sighed through the branches ; there was no an swer, so they plodded on. 3

TttE history of our class is in m any r spects similar to t hat of all other c lass s. We have done something for the College, and it has done m uch for us. V e have been progressive, not digressive. On the campus, in the athlet i c field, and i n the class-room, we have shown our elves gentlemen, athletes, and scholars. I ndeed, by many we are considered a model c lass. The Fresh man reception, at wh ich several membe rs of the present J u n ior class were found wit hout the wedd ing garments on, and were consequently beaten and thrust out o n t he piazza, where th ere was weeping and wailing and snatching out teeth ; the banquet at H ager's, and the d ispersion of the mob at South College : the exit to S kowhegan, and the, review of h er police force, are the three marked events of our Freshman year. The Sophomore year brought with it new j oys. M indfu l of our past experi ence, we laid aside the old dogma, " an eye for an eye," and received the Freshman class with a fatherly p irit, which we shall cont inue to exercise toward it so long as necessity demands. I t was especially fitting t hat t h e last class of the century should c o m e at a ti m e when great reforms were needed. Bloody Monday n ight has been abolished, a nd for the present the cane-rush has been placed under the ban. In the coll ege curriculum we have m own large swaths. The love songs of H orace, the ghost stories of Pliny, the philosophy of Socrates, the sophistry of Lysias, t he good English of Gen ung, have all been consigned to literary graves. Re t, rest, perturbed spirits ! But that which will forever dist inguish '99 from her brother classes is, t hat with her came our honored President, Dr. Butler. Thus we close the record of t wo years, and trust t hat the past shall be to us an i n cent ive t o greater act ivity and larger usefulness.

a fi ne, bright day in last September, Mother Colby fl u ng wide open h e r
a r m s t o receive her you n gest, the g i rl s of 1 900, a n d prepare them for th e i r places i n l ife. On our fi rst appearance at chapel we found that Prex had gi en u s t h e seat s fart hest from t h e doo r, for h e knew t h a t we were younger a n d s t ronge r than o u r older s i sters and more able to wal k.
He greeted us very cordially on
that fi rst morni ng, but it frightened us a l i tt l e to see so m a n y of h i s b rethren about him.
H o wever, o u r t error soon fled when we were told
that i t was
m �rely an acc ident, and somet h i ng that was not l i kely to happen agai n . O u r older s i sters were anx i o u s t o meet us, and gave u s many a reception.
W e not iced t hat some o f them
preferred meet i ng our older brot hers t o meet ing us, but we d i d not care, for t here were many more sist ers and brot h ers too.
' Our n earest s i ster, the girls of 99, ga e u s a party H allowe'en, and played al l manner of trick

We l i ked it.

So she was angry u n t i l Prex calmed her by saying that it should be
most pleasing t o t he older mem bers of t h e family to see the baby w i n n i n g laurels. When we saw t h e rest of t h e girls out wal k i ng and riding w i t h their b rothers and rece i v i n g cal ls from t hem, we felt j ealous and wanted to know some too, especially o u r t w i n . but a few of the bashful ones.
So we gave t h e m part ies a n d met all
Some of the girls l i ked one b oy bett e r than the rest, b u t we can't see why.
We s i n cerely hope t hat not h i ng-no t even a boy-will enter t o break the s t rong bond t hat fast e n s u s together. Our older brothers we do not feel m u c h acquainted with as yet.
They ought t o k n o w us, however, for
several t i mes they h ave asked Prex t o send us o u t of ch apel fi rst, and they s i t there and look at us. hope some day t o know them too.

Let us sing a song of greeting To each other ere w e part, That shall come with earnest feeling, From the depths of every heart, For to N i nety-Six and Colby W e have evermore been true, And we proudly sing the praises Of the dear old Brown and Blue.
And the s u n of Colby's greatness, As the sh ifting years shall pass, Cannot shi n e in golden splendor On a more u n ited class. For to N inety-Six and Colby \Ve have evermore been true, And we proudly sing the praises Of the dear old Brown and Blue. 43
Far away our l ives may lead us From the campus and the " Bricks," But our h e arts will beat responsive To the name of inety-Six. For to 1 inety - Six and Colby We will evermore be true, And we'll proudly sing the praises f the dear old Brown and Blue.

O L B Y' children are her j ewel s. Of no one of them can she be more proud than of D r. Mathews. Born in 'vVater ille, Mai ne, J uly 28, 1 8 1 8, he entered the Col lege in 1 83 l at t h e age of thirteen, graduat i ng when a lad of only seven teen years. I m mediately on graduat ion he studied law, alter nately with T i mothy Boutelle of ·waterville and at t h e Harvard Law School, and was admi tted to t h e Kenn ebec b a r i n 1 838. G i v i n g t wo years to t ravel and to teaching in Vi rgin ia, he began the practice of law in Waterville in 1 840. But h e was predest inated for a literary career, and began to make sure thi h i s cal l i n g by establishing, i n 1 84 1 , a l i terary a n d family new paper, Tile Watervillonian, wh ich was enlarged t h e next year and the name changed to Tlte Yankee Blade. This soon engrossed all h is t i m e, and was r moved i n 1 843 to Gard in er, Me., and in 1 847 to Bo ton, . I ass. The paper grew rapidly in popularity u nder the management of editor Mathews, who a so ciated with h i mself many brilliant contributors, but

1 877 " Hours with M en and Books ; " i n the same year " Monday Chats," a translat ion from Sainte Beuve with an elaborate introductory essay on his l ife and writings ; and in 1 879, " Orators and Ora t ory," of which two reprints were issued in London. In 1 880 Dr. Mathews returned to Boston, Mass., and, as he says of him self, quoting a phrase of the A uto crat, " let his anchor fall where the pennons flew." H is publications since then have been " Literary Style and Other Essays " ( 1 88 1 ) ; " Men, Places and Things " ( 1 888) ; and " N ugce Litterarice " ( 1 896). H e has now ready for t h e press a volu me o f " Essays, B iographical and Crit ical," and has begun a work which he has long had in contem plat ion on a favorite theme-" The Choice and Use of Books. " During the last wi nter h e has been writing a series of critical and bibliographical introductions to the novels and romances of Bul wer, for an elegant new edition i n forty volumes which M es rs. Little & Brown are now publishing. H e has also del ivered many lectures on h i storical and l iterary ubj ects before literary socie tie , colleges, and other inst itutions. In this valuable service Colby Un iversity has richly shared . He has also been an abundant contributor to the foremost magazines and newspapers and to " Appl eton's Cyclo pedia of Biography. " Since 1 87 1 D r. Mathews has visited Europe five times, the longest visit being two year , 1 88 1-'83. Colby recogn ized the honor which he had be-
stowed on her by conferring upon him the degree of LL.D. in 1 868. She loves to welcome him home to her fi reside, whether at her anniversaries with the other children, or in term-t ime or vacation. He always has the freedom o f all her domain. H e loves to come home. He is full of enthusiasm for b is mother. No student in college is in feeling younger than he. We all love to hear him, with eloquent voice and more eloquent eye and face, tell of the good old t imes and eulogize the bet ter new t imes. Keen and clear of intellect, un iversal i n his sympathies, omniverous yet discriminating in his reading, of prodigious m emory (apparently unable to forget any thi ng), energetic, t irelessly industrious, wisely eco nomical of time, always pressing to achieve an end, easily identifying h imself with other men of all ages and races, appropriati ng whatever is purest and best in all literat ure and l ives, never fail ing to credit every man with that which he aLlopt s from him, affable, social, graciously helpful, he is still pouring out in authorship, as for three score years he has been pour ing out, those t reasures of wit and wisdom that have enriched hundreds of thousands of l ives and will con t inue to enrich the generations to come. Colby, the mother, with all her living children, assures him of her admiration and of her prayer that, as h eretofore, so for many coming years, he may grow, not old, but you ng, with unfailing powers of ach ievement and en joyment. 104
was also a small n umber of Partial Course students. Owing mainly to poverty, classes dwindled sadly dur ing the fours years' course. Of the 24 Freshmen i n my class only 1 4 became " grave and reverend Sen iors " and recei ed diplomas. Of the class of 1 83 7, at one time n u mbering 39 members, all but 3 left t h e coll ege before grad uat ion-day. M any w e n t t o Union , Dartmouth, and other coll eges. The reason of t h i s stampede was an i n tense h ost il ity to coll ege honors the distinction in rank for scholarship noted o n t h e Commencement programme. Strenuous petitions for the abol ition of t h e pract ice, bri�tling with argu · ments against it prepared by comm ittees of t h e ablest men i n t h e classes, and s igned by t h e latter unanimously, h ad been sent year afte r year to t h e Faculty of the College, w h o refused to make a change. Probably at no time i n the t h i rt ies was t here a deeper i nd ignat ion felt by the students against what t h ey deemed a grievance. The requi rements for ad mission t o t h e coll ege were exceedi n gly moderate. When, at the age of t hirteen, I was exami n ed for t h at purpose with four
N 1 83 1 , when I entered Waterville College, there were but two college buildings o n the cam pus - North College, now Chaplin Hall, and South College. Of the former t h e north d ivision w as unfi n ished, b u t w as completed s o o n afterward . The President' s house was some rods south of the South College. The college prayers and the declamat ions were held in rooms 1 and 3 i n t h e South College, n o w th e readi ng-room. T h e com mons was in the basement of the North College ; after a new building for i t h ad been e rected, t h e basement w a s u s e d as a chapel and f or exercises i n elocution. College educat io n was then cheap. Tuition and room-rent were low, and board could be had in com mons for $ 1 .00 a week, and i n private houses for $ 1 . 50. The n umber of u ndergraduates was small, probably averaging about 60 duri n g the four years of my col lege l ife. In t h e General Catalogue only 1 20 gradu ates are recorded in the decade 1 830- 1 840. T here 105
others by Tutor Chapl in, we were required simply t o t ranslate e ight or t en l i nes i n each of t h e following works, viz., Vi rgil, C icero' s O rat ions, Sal lust and the Greek Reader ; after " upsett ing " which, as t h e Ger mans say, i nto bad English, we were told, to t h e aston ishment of two of u s , at l east, w h o had floun dered desperately all the way through, that our exam i n at ion was " sati sfactory. " Young as I was, I had been prepared for exam i nat ion for a year ; and J ere mia h Chapl in, the President's son ( 1 828) was actually grad uated at the age of fi fteen. The Faculty from 1 830 t o 1 840 comprised at no time more than seven members ; in my day but five. The consequence was t hat, l ike the chest in Goldsmith's village i nn,
over twelve years put his whole l ife into the college ? I n person he was tall, l ean, and angular, incli ned to stooping, and, except that he had a dark eye of more than usual brilliancy, not striking i n his physiognomy. College government was then more rigid than now. M anners were st iffer ; there was more of petty regu lat ion and surveillance ; and a j oke from the l i ps of the Doctor or one of his associates would have startled us l ike one on a gravestone or in a ledger. Dr. Chapl in, ki ndly t hough he was at heart, was, even for t hose days, a severe discipl inarian and a stout st ickler for etiquette, who wielded the sceptre of au thority with a fi rm, unwavering hand . _H e bel ieved i n the strictest enforcement of the rul es and regula t ions of the college, of which every student was fur n i shed with a printed copy, and which the boys, i n illusion t o t heir character and the blue cover in which t hey were enclosed, called " the Blue Laws." Shall I ever cease to venerate t he good Doctor's virtues, albeit when I , a shy, short-jacketed Fresh man, followed h i m out of the chapel one Saturday eve n i ng to the South College doorsteps, and trem blingly told him t hat my parents wished me to be excused from attending prayers on Sun days, he main tained an icy silence, till, half-frightened out of my wits, and wondering what faux-pas I had com m itted, I stammered out the request a second and even a th ird t ime, when he abruptly pulled off his hat ? Too dull or verdan t to interpret t h i act, I stood shivering with m i sgivings, when at last he said to me in a
" Contrived a double debt to pay,
A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day, "
each professor had to do other work besides that of h i s own chair. When I t h i n k of the amount and qual ity of the work these seven men achieved , with t h e meagre equipment of books, cab inets, and appa ratu , I am fi l l ed with surprise, and feel like exclaim i n g, i n t h e spirit of the Roman' s epigram concern ing t h t h ree hundred Spartans at Thermopylce, zm q uam 7- idi plurem septem / The three Presidents during the t h i rt ies were J eremiah Chapl in, D . D. , I ufu Babcock, D . D., and Robert Everet t Pattison, hall I ever forget the fi rst and most venera D. . the e, the fi ne classi cal scholar, the stout Cal elf-sacrificing man, who for 106
magi sterial tone : " Take off your h at, sir, if you pl ease ! " I n the summer of 1 833, in consequence of a dis agreement in the Faculty about a matter of d isci pl ine, the President, his son, Professor Chapl in, and his son-i n-law, Professor Conant, i ndignantly resigned their chairs. On the Fourth of J uly the students had celebrated the decl aration of A merican independence by a d in n er and speeches in the college board ing hou e. T h e toast s were d ru n k in cold water, but th ere was n o lack of fi re in th e responses, which were greeted with such shouts as only college boys' t h roats can raise. After th e speeches we all marched with our " Ten Lots band " to the Presiden t's man sion, and serenaded h i m for some ten m in utes or m ore. Th is pat riotic and altogether cred itable out burst of Americani s m greatly displeased th e h ead of t h e coll ege, and t h e n ext morning, after th e chapel exercises, the grave Doctor gave us all a sharp repri mand. Of all his caust i c criticisms of our celebra t i o n , I can rem ember only one classic sentence, viz . , t hat " a stranger, hearin g o u r shouts, would h ave fan cied that they were not the cries of civilized beings, but the howls of I ndians, or the bra;n.Jtgs of jack asses. As one half of the Faculty disapproved of this censure, and opposed any p u n ishmen t of the boys, the President, h i s son, and his son-in-law, sent their resignations to t he Trustees of th e college, which were accepted. The resignat ion of Thomas J. Conant, Professor of
Greek, and who also taught us German, was a da11l num prope medull£s to our Alma Mater. Shall I ever forget that pale, n ervous, scholarly ermonter " Runken, " we called h i m , in reference to h i s favorite classical authori ty-afterward professor at Madison and Rochester Universities for over t wenty year , and who, confessedly one of the first H ebraists of h i s day, devoted t h e remainder of h i s l i fe of some n i n ety years to i mproved versions, with crit ical i nt rod uctions and notes, of t h e books of the Old Testament ? Of the kindly Professor Calvin Newton, can I ever cease to have a l ively remembrance-he who, com parat ively a giant in his own proper department, Mathematics, was i n R hetoric and Elocut ion, which h e h ad also to t each, a d warf ; who asked m e one day at declamation, after I had rung t h e changes o n the same piece for t wo years, whether I had not pretty nearly exhausted its elocutionary possibil ities, and had not better try another ? It was he who, in ex pounding Blair or Campbell , gravely told us one d ay t hat, i n t ranslating Horner, Pope would h ave greatly i mproved one of the l i n es o n t h e labors of Sisyph us i n which h e makes use of " apt alliteration's artful aid," if, i n stead of " Up the high h i l l h e heaves a huge
rouud stone,''
the poet had written' Up the h igh h ill he heaves a h u g e
hard stone
! "
Above all my other college t eachers looms up most vividly in m y memory the face and figure of the be l oved George Washington Keely, Professor of Math ematics and Natural Philosophy, with his encyclo pcedic culture and " h igh thoughts seated in a heart of courtesy," whose subtle, discursive mind was at home alike in science, metaphys ical speculation, h is tory and literature. Many and amusing were the anecdotes told i n the days of " lang syn e " illustrat i ng t h e professor's breadth and accuracy of culture, such as h i s correction of the careful Professor Loomis's classi fication of a shell which had greatly puzzled h i m , and, again , the suddenness with which Professor Keely once took the conceit out a young man pos sessed of a m usical devil, who unchained his demon i n the farmer' s parlor. After haranguing on M ozart, Beethoven, Mart i ni, Rossini, Cherubi n i and others that end in ini, and again , upon A lbrechtsberger and others whose names to pronounce were to disl ocate one's j aws, but to h ear whose music were to be rapt in Elysium, the amateur was quite confounded by fi nd ing the Professor, who had been a fi ne flutist i n his youth, perfectly at home o n the subj ect, going ! n reply far beyond his o w n d e p t h in m usical lore, abounding in anecdotes of the great composers, and showing an actually critical knowledge of their works. A n excellent scholar, but the shyest man I ever k new, was J oh n O ' Brien Chaplin, for two years Tutor in Lat i n, two years Professor of Lat i n and

It was my privilege, while reading law with Hon. Timothy Boutelle, to be instru cted in Quintil ian by Professor Barnes at his house. There was but one college lecturer in my day, Ezekiel Hol mes, M .

In my day the College Library h ad few books, and few of those were attractive i n l ooks or contents. In 1 83 1 it comprised probably not m ore than 1 , 300 or 1 ,400 volumes.

H e was suc ceeded by Robert Everett Pattison, D .

As a preacher he was earnest, search i ng, and i m pressi e. When i n 1 838 h e was i n stru ct i n g the Seniors in the Evidences of Christianity, he was often s urprised and occasionally staggered by acute, subtle questions and obj ections propounded by Ben.

Hall, the shelves would groan under the weight of more than 32,000 volumes, i ncluding costly encyclop�dias and i ll us trated works, besides r o,ooo pamphlets ? I remember t hat when, in the u nsophisticated i nnocence of my Freshman year, I plunged i nto " Pl utarch's Lives," and the " 'vVars of the French Revolut ion," the boys all laughed at me, and I i n continently exchanged the e i n structive works for I rving's " Tales of a Trav eler " and Scott's " Talisman . " There were no secret societies in those days, but there were two flourish ing l iterary societies, the Lit erary Fraternity and the Erosoph ian Adelphi. Both had small l ibraries, which many years ago were conol idated with that of the college. One of the m ost delightful parts of my coll ege l ife was the Wednesday even ing passed at the ses ion of the Fraternity. At these m eeti ngs original essays and dissertations were read in turn by the members, and discussions of grave que t ions were held-exercises which were of ignal service to the part icipants in training them for writing and publ ic speaking. Not only was the thinking faculty taxed and stimulated i n these intel l ect ual duel and bat tl , but a com mand of language was obtain d, a skill in thru t and parry, a quickness in detecting fallacie , a fertility of mental resource, and an ea e of mann r, a elf-posses ion and freedom from " stage-frio-ht," wh ich all together could hardly
have been acquired so well and so early in any other way. As our society l ibraries were built up by a tax on our own purses-purses nearly all " i mponderable, flaccid, and wh ich would not fling against the wind," the books were fresher and more at tractive, and more eagerly sought for, than the m usty tomes of the col l ege. There was no gymnasium, no base or football, no rowing in those days. Walking, chopping or sawing one's own wood, and swimming in the Kennebec, were our only modes of exercise. Possibly a dumb bell or two m ight have been used , but we preferred the belles which could respond. We were not scared at the proposal of a twenty-mile wal k ; we were, as James T. Fields's colored neighbor termed him one day when he was taking h is " constitut ional," " m ighty predest i narians. " To avoid losing the fi rst reci tation of the year, after my admission to the college, I walked in August, 1 83 1 , from Augusta to Waterville, v£a Vassalboro ugh, on the afternoon of the day before the term opened, without very much weari ness. Bl iss fully ignorant of parallel oars, pulleys, and a' that, we enj oyed n evertheless an average health as good , I suspect, as that of to-day's " pitchers," " kickers," and even champion " sluggers." Perhaps a reason of this was, that we l ived plainly, rarely overworked, and were not distracted by a multiplicity of studies.

Loud were the cries, and deep the groans, Fierce the looks and fi ercer the tones, But poor Shannon was saved from the sad, sad end, Whither the ways of gluttons end.
To Dover and Foxcroft next they came, But the weather truly was m ighty lame. Slush beneath that soaked their feet, Rain and snow and a blinding sleet. As you might suppose the house was small, So they sang there Friday, by earnest call. This trip gave rise to considerable j est , When the " Robbins " t ried to build a nest. When the boys go i nto the Dover car, He saw down the aisle, not very far, A bright-faced girl, quite trim and neat, ¡ And facing her was an empty s eat. So he sailed down the car with a j aunty air, And took his place in the seat with care. Thus they sat for fi ve m inutes or so, When he thought of something he wanted to know, To get a paper from one of the m en, I ntending i ndeed to go back agai n. But n o sooner had Robbins left the seat Than this fair young damsel rose to her feet And calmly and quietly t urned the back ! Where were the nest i ng plans ? Alack ! They all had vanished and flown away, Though chaff was plenty aboard that day.
I n that hotel t hey had a way That differed from most, as I should say, Your separate order not being taken , " Beaf-steak, Lamb-ch ops, Eggs and Bacon," But the food brought in, i n a generous pile, By a buxom waitress, with beaming smile. A dish of oat-meal some eight inches across't And three i nches deep, was carelessly tossed In fron t of Shannon, as he sat at the table, Who believes in eating all he is able. He thought to himself it was all for him, So he sat him at work with m ight and vim. H e seized the pitcher and sugar-bowl, And he scattered the contents with liberal dole, S m iling away to himself the while, As he vi ewed with deligh t the luscious pile, And it n ever once seemed to occur to him, That the ample depth and the spacious brim For an oat-meal saucer were rather large, And was loaded i ndeed with a heavy charge. But the boy soon found where the dish had gone, And peace and quiet reigned not long. 1 30

that he felt almost sure he h imself had spoiled, would reach perfecti o n after all, and his life would simply end. Mary would sorrow for him awhile, but she would soon be comforted, and there was no one else to care. His mother had died the year before, and his father so long ago that he could scarcely remem ber him. He was all alone in the world. He could think of n o other way to set things right, n o other way i n which he could repai r the wrong he had u n witti ngly done, and this was so simple. The deep, cool river-the boat would overturn so easi ly,-he l eaned far over to one side, but with a sudden start he d rew himself up again . " It's t o o easy, that's the nib," he muttered.

He sat th ere motionless a long t ime. At last he said aloud, " God's will be done. I can only do my d uty so far as I can see it." Then, after a moment's pause, " Perhaps there'll be some way out for her yet .

T H E second ann ual i n ter-col legiate chess tourna ment was held at Bru n w ick, pril I 5, 16 and 1 7, 1 897. C hess, although not dest i ned to become a very popu lar game, surprised its most enthusiasti c admirers by the interest wh ich it aroused among the students of both colleges. The fi rst i nter-col legiate tournament held at Water ille, a year ago, re ulted in a victory for Bowdoi n by a score of eleven to four. T h i s year the tables were turned, and after a closely fought contest, Colby won by a score of ten and a half games to seven and a half. The succes of these tournaments has made the ann ual m eet an as u red feature of in ter-collegiate rel at ions. The special interest in che s at Colby is of recent
origi n and we feel proud of our ach ievements thus far. The Chess Club was organized in '94, and has always received the hearty support of both students and facul ty, part icularly of Dr. Marquardt, of the Depart ment of Modern Languages, who, with a knowledge of the ga m e acqui red only by years of study and practice, bas freely given h i s services as instructor, th us affording except ional opportunities to any one wish i ng to learn the game. An attempt will be made to i nduce the other col leges of I aine to unite w it h Colby and Bowdoin i n form i ng a n in ter-collegiate chess association, under whose auspices the annual tournaments shall be held. The following is a detailed account of the '97 m eet at Brun swick :

W h e n violets bloom the thoughts turn back To golden days of long ago, When love and hope were still but young,
And in the distant, glowi ng West A smile throws to those watching there.
Song flowed unbidden from the tongue, And life, of zest , had yet no lack.
From out the groves the shadows creep :
So memories sweet, swift backward flow
They steal across the fi el d and stream,
And still the world seems all perfume,
While daisies bend their heads and dream :
When violets bloom .
They lull the Day's smile into sleep. When violets bloom the heart grows young, The rob i n in the apple-tree,
The cares of l ife have lesser hold ; Old Time t hrows by his load of years
Ful l-throated sings his evening prayer ;
And Sorrow e'en forgets her tears.
The black-birds in the m aple th ere, Respond in Nature's litany.
The flyi ng shut tle t h rows amon g Life's sombre threads, one strand of gold ;
The pagan night-hawk's whirring fl ight
How smoothly moves the magic loom,

H E two turned into t h e delightful shelter of the old wood-road from the clea ring upon which the sun was pouring its hot rays, where were the clinging blackberry bushes so loath to let go their hold-whose last hard fruit still green and red t h e sun was fast changing into large delicious blackberries, where swarms of flies were buzzing i ncessantly, dart i ng in and out among each other in their flight ; where was heard occasionally the glad note of some l ittle b i rd perched o n a bush n ear by, or the harsh cry of the crows as they took their way from the wood i n t h e north o f t h e clearing t o the tall bare fi rs opposite . The wood seemed to cut off every breath of the breeze that was st i rring t h e t ree-tops, and the motionless si lence, broken only by the ¡ buzzi ng flies, now and
then the sweet b ird-note, or the " cau, cau, cau " of the crows was only the m ore i n tense. They stopped beside a mossy stone n ear t h e opening, she to t a k e off her h a t and p u s h back the wandering hair that was falling over her face, he to pull off his cap and wipe the sweat from his forehead. The rough path whose course followed in part the bed of a spring-time brook was beautifully carpeted with rich green mosses and with ferns, large and smal l . Near the stone beside w h i c h these t w o halted was growing a bunch of the maiden-hair. She adm i red these sl ender plants, their delicate leaves and sh i ning brown stems, and ch ided h i m for having broken that waxen I ndian pipe that was growing by his feet. H e j ust n o w was i n d i fferent to the beauties of nature s o la\ isbly scattered about h i m . H e was hoping that the blackberries h e had h elped to pick, had earned
for h i m an inv itation to tea. Yet it was not the black berries t h at att racted h i m . T h e y had tarted ou t with n o i d e a whatever o f p i c k i n g berries, they did n o t even k n ow where any grew. They had set out i n the boat for a row up the l ake, but finding that the sun was warm in spite of the gentle breeze that was rippl ing the water t hey b ad landed at the opening of the old wood road whose entrance was arched by branches already tinted with the reds and yellows of autumn. They wandered up from the shore until the sunny pict ure of clearing framed by the trees at the head of the path att racted them. In the openi n g t hey had foun d so many berries, almost every branch of the tall young bushe wa bending low u nder i ts weight of h in i ng black fruit. He made som e baskets o f bark then, which they had very soon fi lled, and now they were returning to the boat.
A slight bend in the path, j ust where the slope to the water began, d isclosed to them another picture, and again the t rees formed the frame, this t i me at the lower end of the path. In the backgrou nd were the hills rising i n three ti ers from the opposite shore, a mile away. The breeze had died away, and the waters were perfectly calm and blue except where they reflected the fleecy wh iteness of a passing cloud, and j ust i n t h e centre, ploughing h e r way stead ily along was the steamer loaded with her freight of a h undred or more excursionists. Flags were flying, and a dark l i ne of smoke went curl i ng upward. Wh ile the two were watching her move so proudly and confidently along, a small launch came into sight, following so swiftly upon the larger boat that she was about upon her rival before t hey passed beyond the fram i ng bran ches, and were lost to sight, l eaving in the pictur e only the strokes of Nature's brush. Site had exclaimed over the beauty of sky and cloud, ligh t and shadow, and t he grace of the passing boats, but his calm repl ies had made her feel al most ashamed of her own en t husiast ic delight. It was not t hat he was i n capable of admiri ng the beauty i n such a scene, but he was admiring something else very much more as he buried the shining tip of his shoe in the heavy mo s. " Why would he mar the soft, rich tufts ! ' she thought. They sat down on a log by the shore and waited to h ear the swisb -swa h of the steamer's waves when they should beat upon the rocks. He began to cut
off t he bright h ead of the golden-rod with the quick blows of a l ittle stick. She did not like to see the yellow blossoms fall from their tall, straight stems. Why would h e do so ! Never before had h e shown h i m self so careless of the flowers. She ate a few ber ries from the heaped basket, but she d id not realize that she was doing it. The waves came, but they were quite unheeded . A squirrel, after watching them for some m inutes from the shadowing l i m b of the maple tree, began to chatter and scold at the i n t ruders, but they n oted him not. They sat t here a long t im e, th ese two. H e talked earnestly and gazed on her face wh ile her eyes, downt urned, were fi x ed on the basket of berries. A n d during all the time they sat th ere o n the old beech-log, she spoke only the word " yes. " The birds i n the trees overhead heard and under stood what it al l mean t , and t ried to express its meani ng in burst of ecstat ic song, the sunset becam e more glorious, and the little red squirrel was al most friendly. . The sun was h idden behi n d the hills when the boat was pushed off at last from the shore. H ow happy they were ! They had been friends since child hood, and h ad always loved each other as brother and
sister, and on this September afternoon, j ust before he was to start off for his last year in college, h e h ad told her all h is plans and had made h i s great confes sion. She had expected i t all summer, yet h owever much such things m ay be expected, their coming is always a surprise. And t hen, she b ad made her con fession too, n or was h ers unexpected to h i m . H e was going to h a v e t h a t pretty g i r l i n t h e city , the j udge's daughter, for a bride, as soon a he fi nished h i s courses of study. " Didn't she t h i n k h e was m ighty fortunate, and ought to be one of the h appiest fel lows alive ? " " Yes," h ad been her answer, and how full of m eaning that one word had been. " And, " con tin ued he, " now I want you to own up. I n't t hat young m inister coming for you soon ?" " Yes," again was her sole reply, but h e wa sat isfi ed, for he understood his shy little friend. T h e bi rds bad rej oiced to hear of f o u r people so happy. Silently, save for the regular dip of the oar , t h ey rowed home at the close of that beaut i fu l Sept e m ber day Whi ch was the happier will n ever be known. H e received and accepted her i nvitation to tea, and ate of the blackberries ripened under the warm sun i n the clearing. GRACE G ATC H EL L, '97.

when the alco". es are _not occupied. E\·ery corner should be � u rn_1shed w1th a large easy chai r. ome of the chairs m the Pal mer H ouse are as st i ff and uncomfortable as my new col lar. Now, Prexy, don't h ave t h e room too light . Many of us college fellows have t rouble with our eyes, and we ought to rest them one evenino- i n the week. " My lady friend " said she thought ; n umber of laro-e ] apanese screen � would look pretty in t h e room-sa , perhaps, about eight. Now, I don't l ike the looks of that fence as shown i n t h e plan. Of course, as Shakespeare-or Ben J on s o n I forget which-said,
To tlte President aud Faat!tJ' of ColbJ' Universz'ty :I wish to express my feel in gs in regard to the new dorm itory wh i c h is in prospect for the co-ords. I am one of t hose " gents what makes dates wid their lady fr � encls," and I t h ink . this building should not go up w1t hout some suggestions from t he members of the men's college who expect to spend a large part of their t i m e t here. I utilize? . the greater part of Fast Day in care fully exam mmg the plan in Redi ngton 's w indow, and on the whole I call it pretty good, but I t h i nk a few suggestions m ight be val uable to you, and as I have been t h ree years in college and h ave passed much of the t i me d ur i n g those three years at the Palmer House, and h ave had ample opportu nity to learn what are t � e advantages and d isadvantage of a woman's dormitory, I feel that I am a. well fit ted to advise you as anybody could be. First, there i s the reception room . I th i n k t h i s room should be arranged fi rst i n pla n n i ng a woman's _ y. I u nders and that it has been suggested dorm1to � � . to have it arranged like a senes of confessionals or restaurant eati n g stalls, where each co-ord can receive her guest in comparative secl usion. i flatter myself that a great m in d l ike my own can devise a m uch bet � er scheme than t hat. The Prof . say my j udgment is pretty good, and when I was in Mechani c Falls last vacat ion, we tal ked i t all over and I will give you our plan free of charge. M y idea would be to have the room octagonal in shape, with an alcove o n each side t h us mak ing si xteen corners and alcoves for recept io1� purposes.

WATERVI LLE, M E . , MAY I O, 1 897. i nt eresting i n n ova ti on was introduced here last n i gh t, the occas i o n being the debate between the members of the Col by faculty on the m uch-mooted quest ion of the classic lan guages and the sciences. It has t ranspired that w hen the new scientific course of Ph . B . was proposed m uch discussion was provoked at the regular meeti ngs of the faculty, and it was fi nally agreed that t he quest ion should be settled by a publi c debate. T h chapel was fi lled to overflowing, as both sides had created considerable i nterest by their spirited cam paign. The devotees of the old classic languages excelled Wel l m ight old Cicero have been in eloquence. proud to have uttered ·such encom i ums on his be loved Lat i n . The scientist s had rather the better o f t h e argu ment fro m a stand poi nt of logic. The art icles w re on the whole wel l presented and were well rece ived.
President Butler presided, and after a somewhat lengthy d iscourse stated the question as follows : Resolved, that t he sciences afford a better trai ning to the m i nd than the languages. President Butler t hen introduced Prof. Rogers as the fi rst speaker. Prof. Rogers spoke as follows : " M r. President, Ladies and Gentlemen .-In the dis. cussion of a quest ion so i m portant and so intricate a quest ion on wh ich scienti fi c m inds have long busied themselves since the day Gal ileo saw the apple drop ·-thereby discovering the law of gravitat ion,- until the present day, experience has shown that the honest m i nd freed from al l prej udice can alone grasp the truth. " I have always been enthusiast ic for the sciences. The sciences are the m ini sters of truth. I think it was Prof. Bowdoin, of H utchins, who said that ' Who soever worsh ips at the shrine of science thereby takes on the garments of accuracy and perspicuity.' " The supporters of the languages must feel embar rassed to read the names of the emi nent men who have achieved success and fame without any knowl-

edge of the classic languages. I will read you a few such names " (considerable time was consumed h ere by Santa's futile attempts t o find his notes), " sis sis-sis-can't fi nd m y notes. Had 'em though. Laid t hem on the table. Sis-sis-sis-someone m ust have taken them . Can't get along. Let me see. What I I say. Forget w here I left off. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I said John Stuart M ill and H erbert Spencer d i d n ' t k now n anyth ing about Lat i n and· Greek. L o t of others, t oo, only they've slipped my mind at present. Therefore-h ence we'll assume I 've proved that point, namely t hat a great many famous men d id n ' t know Greek." (Teddy makes vociferous signals to Stet. Rob s n i ffs contemptuously. ) "Where am I ? 0 yes ! Therefore we know, there fore we deduce the following fact, namely that the sciences t ra i n a man to accuracy and perspicuit) . " For i nstance. If we take t h e M etronome pendulum and the Att wood m ach i n e, nam ely a machine for deter m i ning t h e velocity of a falling mass, we can fi n d the duration of time required for a given mass to pass over a given space. T hat is, we can find the time with in t h ree or four seconds, perhaps more, perhaps less." ( Laughter.) " Wonderful device that Attwood machine. N" ow ask you t o consider n ext the X-ray. ' (" Can't go on h ere unless we have it more q u iet," said Santa, as h e d odged a hymn book dexterously h urled �t him by Colonel Page. )
" Namely, the fact is self-confident, I mean self-e, i dent, sis-sis-sis-let me see. " 0 yes. I said the opposition would say science made a man guess. But it don't. Never made m e guess. I ' e made science guess, though, often. " (Ap plause.) " Statical electricity shows us every day. ( Five minute bell rings.) There is the bell. 0 d ear, 0 dear, what shal l I do ? What shall I do ? H aven't proved anythi ng yet. H aven ' t had t ime. 0 dear, 0 dear, s is-sis-sis. Got to stop, t hough. H ear the bell. 0 dear. H ave to take i t for grant ed . " Prof. H al l was introduced a s t he n e x t speaker. Prof. H all said : " Ladies and Gentlemen : I n all my experience w i t h men and books, i n a l l my experience with thi ngs l iving and t h ings dead, with th ings visible and i nvi ible, t h ings that creep and t h i ngs that fly, I have al ways observed that the classic languages stand u nrivaled in stateliness and splendor, absolutely alone i � grand eur and glory." (Hae applauds. ) " Dr. Rogers h as presented an argument based on the Attwood. Now, what i s this Attwood mac h in e ? It is composed of a few brass wheels, t wo t i n cans and a lot of stri ngs. Yes stri n gs, gentlemen, strings. " ( Santa attempts to rise. Stet scowls and Santa subsides.) " Now, gentlemen , I ask ou how can that machine, a mere combination of tin, brass and strings, discipl i n e a m a n ' s m i nd !" (Applause and groans.)

"Take chemistry," contin ued the Professor, warm i n g u p. " A m a n goes into the laboratory an d m i xes up a few acids, or l iquids, or gases. Does it all under the guidance of an i n st ructor. That k i n d of work makes man a mere m achine." (Stet and Rob look cheerful . ) " Same of geology. Breaking up stones, gentlemen. Breaking up stones. H ow can a man break stones and get an ed ucat ion ? As i f every stone was a m i ne of i n format i on . Absurd, gentlemen, absurd. " ( H ar applauds violently.) " Now let us consider the other side of this question. T h e associat ion, the familiarity with the language of C icero and Cresar, of H om er and JEschylus make a man to think. Thi n k ing is what the classics trai n a man to do. " But I shall not weary you with details. (Applause. ) I shall t rust my colleagues to present you the remain i ng arguments i n support of our s ide. (Haugh t ily.) I have captured the cit I have met the opposition. adel ." (Applause. Dutchy groans.) President Butl er, i n a very appropriate speech about thirty minutes long, i n troduced ]. William Black, Auger Professor of Poli ti cal Economy. Dr. Black advanced to the front part of the plat form with a small l ibrary u nder his arm. H e depos i ted the l ibrary upon the table and spoke as follows : " Ladi e and Gentlemen : I, myself, never had much experience with the· exact scien ces, as Pol i t ical Economy can not in the strictest sense be called exact. ] ohn Stuart M i l l and other famous men have fre-
quently stated this and from the fact that it is subj ect to-well, to changes both in form, facts and various other things, this quest ion may be regarded as settled. " Now, I remember, down in Baltimore, various ques tions which have arisen concerning municipal revenue and grants which have changed i n the course of a few y ears. Now, down in Baltimore (laughs) some years ago (sm iles) t h ere was no natural gas and we had to wait until I grew old enough (laughter and applause ; Professor smiles, grins . and laughs) to rem ember that two gas, that is art ifi cial gas, companies started, and so on. Now, i n this age we try, at least I make it a point to try in my cl asses, to kill or anni h ilate time ; we do it, too. " (General laughter.) " Now I remember down i n Baltimore that there was som e trouble about the water-works. What did t hey do ? Did they buy their works ? Exactly. That i s they d i d n o t exactly b u y t h e m , b u t they rented them, which i s quite the same thing. " But to retu rn to our subj ect from which we have slightly digressed. Science means knowledge, sys tematized thought. Therefore, if a man thinks he must be trained for the dut i es of l ife, (and of course he is, in a sense). In one sense he i s, in another Yes, exactly, quite right, sense he is not . Why ! yes. (Time l imit bell rings and Black grins). Exactly, exactly, and again I say exactly. Yes, exactly. " (Takes his seat amid cheers and hisses, blushi ng l i ke a girl, and feeling foolish, funny and flunked .) 1 60
not know anyth ing abo ut Greek and Lat in. Listen, and I'll read you someth i ng from t he ' Encyclopcedi a Britan n i ca. ' " (Reads, and proves Santa was wrong. ) [At this j u ncture Santa arises and asks perm i ssion to correct an error. " I s there obj ection ? " sternly asks Prex. No obj ection bei ng made, Santa stoutly denies ever having said that ] ohn Stuart M ill or H erbert Spencer knew noth ing about Greek or Lat i n . Dutchy backs u p Santa. Suppressed m erriment .] " It i s i m m aterial, anyway, " continued PROFE SOR Roberts. " I am convinced that t h i s aud ience don't want any more arguments. What you need i s my opi nion, m y authority. Will you vote ' No ? You see I k now all about this subj ect, and you, 0 rabble, only deceive yourselves i n t o thinking you k now. " This modest observat i o n called forth thunderous applause. A period of silence fol lowed, and then Stet attempted to renew the applause and i nadvert ently brought his foot down on Dutchy's toe. Dutchy l oses h i s wonted self-control, and becomes excited. Santa, Dut chy and Prex all try to talk at once. The Colonel throws a hy m n boo k at the l ight. Excite m ent i ntense. M ingled cries of " Donnerwetter ! 0 dear, 0 dear ! Zru, Zru Tl<; ayopn)Eiv {3ov'A.£Ta Deu ex machina Deusmeansgod. ! ! ! ? ? ? x + ( ) [ J + + ! ! ! + ? () ? ? ? --[J O ! ! ! ! ! ! ! - ? ? Reubei:i, Confusion and Chaos !
" Th ere is no m an m ore qualified to discu ss, fun damentally and thor ughly, the subj ect under con_ sideration than Professor Roberts," said President Butler i n presen t i ng the next speaker. PRO F ESSOR Robert s , a m edium-sized man of about thirty years of age, advanced with a swagger that seemed to suggest contempt for the rest of the race. PROFESSOR Roberts speaks with a confident air. Follo w i ng is the full text of PRO FES. OR Roberts's speech : " M r. President, Lad ies and Gentlemen : -Now I'll tell you r ight h ere what I know about tl1 i s science busi ness. I think that a man m ight study science for one h undred years and then not know anyth i ng about it. What is the use of knowing when you can bluff j ust as well ? Shakespeare says, somewhere, that a l ittle k nowledge is a dangerous thing, and you can ' t learn muc!t science i n a few years, so i f you st udy it at all, you must be content to learn a !£ttle. But I ' ll tell you, I don 't t h i n k it's really necessary. I n ever knew any science. I don't know a great deal now, but then I know enough to ' phase ' m ost people. Say, I ' ll give you a good rule. Make positive statements ! Jlfake positi11e statements ! N i ne t imes out of ten nobody'll quest ion them. I f they do-0, well, I suppose you'll have t o back water. But t h ey won't m ore t han once a year.

The story concludes i n a vague manner that leaves the reader to interpret the author's meaning for himself.

The boys of Colby' s classic h alls A re i n a dreadful way ; They gather in the Palmer H ouse At all hours of the day. And there with l aughter, sport, and j est Is a merry contest waged, For nearly every Colby lad To a Co-ord is engaged.
nd there is J erry \Vellman, too, A loose and lathy l ad ; As a wal ker he is unsurpassed, But his gait, they say, is bad. Yet still to cap the climax, And to cap it gives me pain, But I must add, though i t be sad , H e s got " Co-ord on the brain."
There's Bertram Carver R ichardson , A man who's in the swi m , And s o , for h i m to get engaged \ ould seem n o foolish whim. H e dotes upon that maiden, who Did his affections gain ; For he's a lad who's got it �ad That's " Co-ord on the brain."
T he re' s Colonel Page, a fine young man, \Vho always seems so nice ; A n d si nce he chanced to fall in love H e ' s cut cart loads of ice. H e visits her twice i n the week In starlight or in rai n ; For you m ust k now that Colonel's woe Is " Co-ord on the brain . "
And there is Freddie Getchell, in \Vhom atu re went astray, A lllarve/ of ungainli ness In each and every way. His actions are so very queer, You'd think he was insane ; H e's got, you see, that malady O f · • Co-ord on the b rain."

So then to old Colby he came, And pompously gave i n his name ; The Faculty grim Were not awe-struck by him ; He was sorry for them j ust the same. Behold, at the end o f a year, This Freshman, who once was so queer, Is now mild and meek, A n d hardly dares speak, If a Sophomore chance to be near.
The moral I ' m trying to teach I s certainly now within reach. The Sophomores bright Can bring Freshmen u p right, \Vhatever all others may p reach. 1 73
A wise son rnaketh a glad father ; but a man with three deficiencies bringeth woe to a household.
A holiday [ i s w m e to the spirit of man, but an " exam " is bitter to the belly.
He who carrieth the most water, usetb not always t h e most towels.
Who hath woe ? who hath sorrow ? who hath red ness of eyes ? They that cut six times, yea seven, wi thout cause, and receive a notice from Teddy.
Crib while i t is called to-day, for the time cometh
A wh i p for a horse, a halter for an ass, and water for the back of the Freshman.
when the honor " exam " will be a th ing of the past. Answer not Sam according to his fol ly, lest thou also be like unto h im .
There be two things which are too wonderful for me, yea, three that I know not : The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, and the way of " Santa " i n the midst of the street.
There is a way which eemeth right unto the Sopho more · but the Fre hman faileth to see the fun thereof.

mln �pie. O v ER t h e balmy a i r , last night as I sat a t my win dow, Floated, I fi rst though t, my name, my angular name from the text-book, Cheerfully hymned in loud notes ; but I must have been off i n a tangent. ' \Vay down below, ' were th e words that followed with startling d i sti nctness. Syllables then most confused, till I caught th e faint words, ' swell with yearning.' Li ngering accents of ' H ades ' fell soft on my tym pan ic membran e Rousing ain thoughts in my heart of the m ighty in t hat gloomy ki ngdom, I ntercourse with whose souls would be pleasant to us and of profit To tlteir m inds," modestly quoth the good man in whose cran ium dwell math ematics. ' Well," said the doughty young ch ieftain who hold up the big de k i n chapel, " Wi hes are surely of no u e save transferred by the will into act ion. H ere is occasion, I think, for the heartiest co operation ;
Who can inform this assembly of mean s for th is great undertaking ? Easy enough if we simply choose the right way to come at it." Slowly the heads of the wise men turned on their vertebral pivots. None had provided for th is, though Santa made the confession : " Th i s is a subj ect," he said, " I discussed in a j our nal of science ; H ow. I ' ve forgotten j u t now ; but wait and I think we can do it." " Virgil's account of JEneas in hjs search for h is father, A nchises, Gives us suggest ion," said one. " We must fi nd the gold leaf by Avernus." " That is the way, I remem ber. Yes , yes ; precisely the method, Easy as " with the X-rays, turn them full force on the forest The metal stands out so plai n from the rest you have only to pluck i t . " " Doves would b e better, " said J udy ; " JEneas had them to guide h im . "
" Not scient i fi c at all ! Will have noth i ng to do with the matter ! Doves ! I s hould say ! " but the President here inter rupted the quarrel, Seeking adj ustment of matters, amicable and con sistent. " Science i n our clay," said he, " confron ts us with startling d iscoveries ; Things that the ancients had welcomed had t hey but been able to know t hem. M atches are cheaper t han steali ng if Prometheus only h ad tried them. Brimstone and sticks i n this world had saved bri m stone and Styx in the other. ' Rough upon Rats ' or ' Dead-stuck ' i n destroying Stymphalian mon sters H ercules h ad best used or a hydrant for Augean stables. Therefore I t hink since X-rays will fi nd us the gold leaf most quickly This is the method to use. Bring on your machinery, Doctor. " Bright through the leaves of the forest shone the strange light from the Crookes' .tube, Pierced through the vegetable growth l ike sun through the clear air of morning. Quivering stood t h e gold leaf ' neath fl uoroscope's s harp revelation . " Gods have decreed we shall go," quoth the Prof, with locks l ike the sunlight, " Makin g our own providences, that's the way to get on, I assure you. Solid, I t hi nk, from my testing ; not found in this shape very often. Sold, would bring several dollars t o go toward a h alf back n ext season."
" Aid for the Coll ege, hurrah ! " · ' Books ! " " Fund for the new dormitory ! " Cries were of vari ous import at thought of the dollars ' t would bring them. " Thought we had started t or Hades," growled Rob ; " then what's the use talking ? T hough , to be s ure, much the sense to pay when you might go for nothing. " Toward the ca\ e of the Sibyl they wended, giving ear to one who convi n ced them Chlorophyl was attacked by the gas from ill-smell ing Avernus · Then, too, the old from the sunshine sifted down and dropped on the green leaf. Chloride of gold was produced, then the heat from i t s torrid surround i ngs F reed all the chlorine, and gold leaf was left to be twirled by the breezes. Sounds greeted t heir ears most d istressing of clank ing and moan i ng and groaning. " Don't .be alarmed, friends," said Rob, " we're safe when we get to old Pluto. I nt imate friend of mine. I' e done h i m many a favor. Offered to take me once as a partner in ruling h i s kingdom. " " What is the nature of t h is infernal organiza t ion ? " Queried our friend from the South of Johns H opki n s and Oberli n College. " Judged from the fact of the leaf, I should say a Pluto-cracy, surely. " Darkness grew t hicker around them, dread forms loomed up in the dim l ight, Vengeance and Fear and Disease and Want and t h e snaky-locked Furies.

Superintendents applyinir to him for teach ers can be sure that they will not be flooded with applications." Cha'!. B . Wilson, Profe-sor of Biology, Stale 'ormal School, West field, lass.-" I consider that the Beacon Teachers' Agency is, without excep tion, the best managed agency with which I am acquainted. The reasons for this opinion are as follows : I have been connected with several agen cies and know from actual experience that the manager o f the Beacon Agency takes more p ains to become thoroughly acquainted with those who have registered in his agency than any of the other managers with whom I have had dealings. H e endeavors to ascertain, i f possible. just what a teacher desires for a position, and whether they are capable of fi l ling such a place or not " I considl'r this to be the true work of an agency manager, but most of them fall far short of it, and, with the excepti01 .. of Mr. Merrill, none that I have met have shown any real effort or desire to attain unto it. ' ' Mr Merrill then endeavors to find the right place for bis teacher, and in this he has been eminently successful . I consider his method of notify0 b n t ac r e q e , a )� � o r u t t em ployed in other agencies, and I am confident that school boards and superintendents appreciate such a rational method far better than we who are teachers." Albert Robinson, SuperintendPnt o f School�, Warren, Mass.-" In my dealings with the Beacon Teachers' Agency I have found that the man agem<'nt recommends to positions only such candidates as are qualified for the sam e .and are likely of election This is a source of confidence and satisfaction, both to teachers and em ployers of teachers.

To-day every student and every teacher k no ws, and we want every parent to learn, that no school book should be t h rown a'rny u n til we have been given a chance to appraise it.

'§ -H
t h e primary school when w e fi rst conceived the idea, years ago, that the sclzoolbooks l y i ng discarded and d usty o n everybod y's shelves, or unfor gotten in closets and garrets, ough t to be rescued from premature obl ivion, .a n d made to continue their usefulness i n this already too expensive world - prolonging their own l ife, and at the same time saving dimes and dollars t o many a needy student. To-day every student and every teacher knows, and we want every parent to learn, tha� no schoolbook should be t h rown away u ntil we h ave been given a chance to appraise it. E veryone knows, too, that we can suppl y promptly, and at N e w York prices, any school book of any" publ isher - probabl y second-hand if desired ; surely new if we happen to be out of second-hand. M ore than that, we stand the postage or el se we prepay the expressage. S w iftness, courtesy, and fair prices make up our golden rul�, and we bestow the same careful considera tion upon the boy or girl in the remote hamlet who wants one book i n a h ur ry, that we give to the bookseller who has his whole town to supply. Any school board, any school official, any teacher w i l l fi nd it not only to h is con venience, but to his profit, to t reat with us because we are not o n l y a t the schoolbook center ( Ne w York ), but are ou rselves the schoolbook head qua rters, thus ensuring the t wo great desiderata, discoun ts and despatch, not to mention the credit-allowance o n old books consigned to us for exchange.
