SAKDS of years ago on the sunny slopes of Mount Par-

nassus tending

within his

the western border of Phocis, a goat-herd

flocks di scovered among the mountain crags

natural amphitheatre.

H er e a deep cavern discharged

from a narroi,,v ori fi c e a vapor which so powerfully affected the b rain of thos e who came ,,·ithin its influence that it caused them to b e c ome inspired and utter prophecies. The fame of this place soon spread abroad, until finally above that rocky cavern there arose a beautiful t emple to Apollo

a dorned by

the greatest s c ulptors, painters and architects that Greece could produce.

B eau

tified and enriched by gifts from all parts of the Grecian world , this temple held within it s '' all s the treasures of state and individual. The Grecian colonist, far from his home-land neyer forgot the oracle, but contined

send

into

the Delphic

treasur'

his

'golden summer.'

v ithin the adyton of this fair t emple the seer Pythia, thrown into

gold-the an

ecstatic

fury by the influence of the vapor, utte red the words and cries interpreted by the priests as the answers of Apollo.

T he Rock of Delphi was held to b e the . centre of the earth's surface, and cert ainly in a social and religious sense this \\"a the ca£e for all the Grecian world . of civilized l ife \\ ere united.

Delphi \Yas the knot wherein every strand

H ither came all those who '"ere in anxiety, d oubt,

and d i stress� to go a\rny comforted an d enlightened by the utterances of the O racl e . I n t h e progress of Grecian history

a s religious a n d intellectual thought

developed, there was a progressive development in the character of the O racle . It sought to avert all d i sputes bet\\-ee n the tribes, and d i fference s .

to compose existing

H ence there \Yas an old H ellenic law that one state should not em

ploy the O racl e against another.

Gradually the Oracle became the guiding in

flu ence in Grecian progress, the centre of the Amphictionic l eague and perhaps the most powerful influence in promoting that ideal unity of the whole whi ch floated always before the Grecian mind. Inscribed within the court of the Delphic temple were the two profound I l

our

Ima M ater will beam with pride because she reckons '98 men among

h er children.

The years have been filled with work, hard and easy.

of our ties of friendship have knit closer than those of brothers are wont to do, and others have-"nit. "

dust and perplexing p roblems, have been congenial to Cupid, and we know that those who are now bachelors must ever remain so.

horse and weary marches for the plodding i nfa ntfi, sharp conflict s with German and French irregulars, and patient l i ste n i ng to ancient orat ions and sickening Ion songs.

a hero has fallen, just to make the sham batt l e more like l i fe, but the fatal cuts h ave been few.

M E:N • • .

of this world I lay �O\rn and S I walked through the wiJdernes slept. And behold I stood i n a certain place i n which were many dens. And the name of the one \\·as called N orth College, and of outh College, o f another Ladie ' H a l l , and there were another In these dens were diver young men and maidens and yet others. t rouble was depicted o n the face of all of them. 7ow, I aw i n my dream that each one held i n his hand a book. and ever and anon would burst into tears and cry, " ' \Vhat hall I d o ? " And I a ked them, saying. ' · \\ hat do ye here and why are ye so exceeding sorrowful ?" And they aid, "\\ e go on ·a j ourney. For the lord of all the earth, whose name is Prex, hath said u nto u s 'Ye must all go on a j ourney. and at the end of it ye shall come to the mount which is called Graduation. and there will I gin unto every one of you a roll, which i s called Diploma, and with thi roll i n your hand shall ye do wonders. But first mu t ye go o n this j ourney which I tell you of. There are many lion and evil beast s i n the way, whereat ye shall be greatly af frighted. and many giants which are called Profs. And these shall do you grievous in j ury. For they will flunk you and try to cut you out. But be strong and of gocd cour age, and y e shall all urely come to the holy mount which is called Graduation.' There fore are we here." And I aw on my dream that they did travel o n this j ourney, and did have many ad\' nture . both pleasing and p rofitable, and did have many combats with the sons of B elia! and with t11e giants, the Prof , and they came out victorious i n all. And they did receiYe many cheering words from the lord Prex. B ut I saw i n my dream that they came to a certain place in the way. which wa nar row. And they l ooked before them and l o there was a roaring l i o n i n the way, and hi name was Chem istry, and with the lion was fierce giant and his son. And the giant' name wa B h i l , and his son's name was Pah. And I saw i n my dream that the p i l grim wer ore afraid. nd they did burn much midnight oil i n the vain hope o f appeasing Bhil. and on a day they went up to do battle again t the l ion and the giant and they slew the l io n . and B h i l did flee. Then did the p i l grim rej oice greatly at the destruction of the l ion called Chemistry. B ut not many days after they came to another narrow place, and. behold, there was B hil again with another lion. a smal l e r one, called Physiology. B ut the p i l grims no l o n rrer feared Bhil and hi l ions, and they went up and s l ew the lion. and again Bhil did flee. And I aw i n my dream that they came to an exceedingly pleasant place which wa called H all ow E'en. H ere the maidens did summon the youth to a merry-makin6. And they did all come together and spend the time i n propounding o f riddles. i n telling of tales. i n inging and dancing. Then they did separate, with many good \Yishes for the outcome o f their j o urney. row they came by a land which i called B eulah. Thi i s con idered by many a nry beautiful country. B ut I han seen that tho e 'vho visit this country go i n by pairs. a youth and a maiden together, and those who go in eldom come back to the traight road. They forget the holy hill of Graduation, and wander off to the city of Coll ege Engage ment , a city which the inhabitant greatly love 'vh ile they d'vell there. but afterward they l earn to curse it and wish they had ne,·er been there. For while the men and ''"omen who go there expect some time to get to the city of M atrimony. they find the road thither from the city o f College Engagements ,·ery hard to follow. and fe,...- find it. ow, I have seen with great sorrow many p i l grim wander off into the land of B eulah and the city of College E ngagements. especially o f those band of pilgrims call ed the '98 B and and the '96 B a n d : but I saw \vit h p leasure that but one o f this band. '99 Band. o f which I ha Y e been speaking. had reached the city of College E n gagements, and he wa one who had once been a member o f the '98 B and. I \rn sorry to see. hmvever. that a few others were in c l i ned t o wal k much i n the land o f B eulah. And I saw and behold they came to a high hill, the "·hich i called Junior prinrr H il l . a n d from h e r e t h e y could s e e t h e beautiful :Mount o f Graduation. nd s o m e \vere glad when they thought that there troubles \vould soon end, and they n·ould be rriven the rol l . and s o m e n·ere orro,yful f o r that t h e m a n y j o y n-hich they h a d experienced on t h e j our ney should soon end. And o I awoke. and. b ehold. it was all a dream.

Soon they waxed exceeding bol d so bold that all did gaze upon them in h orror and shook their beads, and murm ured sur�ly these are fooli h virgins, but the kindly ones whi spered remember they are but Fresh m en . ncl now they found that Colby Univer ity was indeed the seat of much learnino-, and long they struggled \Yith a plague, by name Math em atics ; and as often a the fourth day of the \Yeek came around they passed t h rough a strano-e and terrible t rial , called Elocution, and there they did hake and tremble and become a dead men from very fright . .-\nd a it \Yaxed towards the end of the fir t term, they all arrayed them elve in their best robes and labored long and p repared a great fe t ival for their brother , and there \ as music and sound of revelry, and even those gue ts who iell amono- thieves by 11lhe way ide and \Yere forced t o come late \Yithout uitable garment were welcomed ,,-ith great reJ 01c111 0-. An l i t came '1:0 pass that a little later the e maiden buckled on t heir armor in the H ebrew tongue, B loomer and went forth to battle with their elder si ters, and in a mighty conflict, called Basket Ball, they trugo-led long and bravely, but it was in vain, for their elder i ter overcame them ; and thait: nio-h t in the land of the Freshmen there \Ya weeping and \Yailino- and gna bing of teeth and they ' O\\·ed an exceeding great VO\\" that once more they ·would go forth against their i ters and conquer or die and wh en again i t \Ya tl1e time of battle, b ehold, they " ere victorious. And n ow, indeed, i t came about that .t h e day grew warm and many of the m aidens were prone to wander over the field with their brothers \\·hen the fou rt h and s eventh day of tl1e week came . So the days passed S\Yiftly by t i ll a ll \Ya a t a l e t h a t i told, and t h o e maiden stood on the brink of another year. Ko\\· their ins of freshne s h ave been forgiven them, and h ereafter they shall be k nown as Sophomores. •

the history of college activities there has been no move ment more significant t h an that, " hiah, during the last decade, has led to the e tablishment of annual d ebates be t\Yeen neighboring or even distant educational institution . H eretofore the rivalry existing between colleges has shown itself only in an appeal to muscle, and the relative power of the colleges have been measured by the ach ievements of the athlete only. In such contests, mental training, t h e special \\·ork of the alleges, counted for noth ing, w h i l e physical training, t h e peculiar \York of t h e L ymnasium, \Yas everything. H ence it is that educators h ave so \Yarmly weloomed intercollegiate debating and h ave offered every in ducement to it rapid development. Such conte3ts require, besides some prac tical knO\Yledge of oratory, prolonged mental training, such as can promote accurate and careful analysi , clear perception, exact discrimination and force ful and persuasive statement. H ere, as nowhere else, will the methods and effi cienc) of the respeotive institutions be shown. Colby has only recently begun to realize the i mportance of this kind of a ctivity and to place h erself in line with her sister colleges. When the present graduating class entered coll ege, debating was practically dead. To be sure t h ere "·as hel d an annual Junior debate, so- called but this had become little more than a farce, and was productive of no good results. The first sign of awakening ' igor was seen in the establishment, by the class of 1 898, of a Sophomore debate, a contest which \Yas very creditable to all the contestants. Soon after arrange ments \Yere made for an annual college debate, and this was followed by the organization of a debating society, which held meetings at regular inte rvals . The annual debate wi•th Baites became a fixed thing and men were chosen for it, a for all other oontests, on the basis of work done. For two years the de ci ion of the j udges \\"aS a dverse to Colby, but on March 4, 1 898, her team won a decisive \ ictory, and gave to Colby·s debating interests their proper place among college a ti ities. To the three men \\·ho have so ably represented u s for rt.he past two years, too much credit cannot be given . To them as to no other three men, is due the present flourishing condiition of our debating interests. Throu g h their splendid work Colby has attained an enviable po i tion on the college rostrum, which it remains for succeeding classes to guard and maintain. T ha t their places will be well filled there can ibe no d oubt, for the contagion has spread to the fi tting schools, C oburn H ebron, Ricker and H oulton, and a serie of debates has been held among t hese schools during t h e present year. Thus there are hopes that each year w il l bring to the college more t rained men, who will be welcomed no less \Yarmly than the art:h l etes, and whose work i s de tined rto be far more ' aluable and appreciated in t h e coming decade than in the past. ;\

PARISH LOVEJOY.

the eight h day of last i\J ovember was dedicated, in Alton, Ill., a monument in honor of a 1Iaine man, a graduate of V\ aterville College. Other men renowned i n war, i n states manship i n literature have been similarly honored b) t h e generations w h i c h h ave followed them but this m a n was neither a warrior, a statesman, nor a man of letters. I doubt if t here can be foun d another monument ' hich m eans to t h e people who erecte d it w h a t the A l t o n m onument m e a n s to the people of our country . If the nation h olds i n t ender remembrance the m emory of Lovejoy, his Alma Mater should be proud to lay h er humble wreath on hi tomb. Elijah Parish Lovej oy was born in lbion, Me., i n 1 803 . His father, Rev. Daniel LovejO) , was a man of very l imited m eans and it was \Yith difficulty that h e gave his sons a liberal education . But th e sons \nre made of the right material, and they became prominent as men . One of them, Joseph , became eminent as a clergyman, and Owen w:as for several years a Representative in Congress from Illinois. The olde t son Elijah was graduated from v aterville Coll eg� in 1 826. O f his six classmates, three became physicians t\\ o lawyers, and one a business man. After graduating, Lovejoy \Yent to Missouri and became an editor. That was i n the darkest period of American h istory. The South was ruling the land. She clai med the negro by Divine right and the X orth yielded to h er claims. The Northern press had had been muzzled the ;.\ orthern voic e 1 47

well-nigh silenced. John Quincy Adams had been hissed in the halls of Con gress, "William Lloyd Garrison had been dragged with a rope about his neck through the streets of Boston. Such were the times that few dared oppose slavery. There were, however, a heroic few ; one of the bravest was Lovej oy . His was the warfare not of a fanatic but of a Christian, a philanthropist, a man. The hatred of the South, the ridicule of the North, he feared not. Duty to his country and to his God wa hi only guide. Obloquy and insult were heaped upon him, persecution and suffering fol lowed him, but l i e remained true to his convictions. At l ength he was co m111a11dcd to be silent. To-day He can hardly believe that l iberty of speech, our most sacred birthright, was ever denied an American citizen. Lovejoy's reply to that infamous demand is worthy of immortality, ' As long as I am an Amer ican citizen, as long as American blood flows in my veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write and publish whatever I please, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same." From that moment his steps were dogged by day and by night, his family was tqreatened with violence, and was finally driven from the city. His print ing office was broken into and his property destroyed. But his voice had not been silenced. H e went across the river to Alton , Ill., and there continued his warfare, but persecution and malignity followed him. Three times was his office broken into, three presses were thrown into the Mississippi. He was a citizen of the free S tate of Illinois ; that State refused to protect him. New England, whose soil was dedicated to freedom by the Puritan fathers, only laughed at his entreaties. To show his bravery we need picture but one scene from his troubled life. One night, on his way home with medicine fo.r his sick wife, h e was met by a crowd of ruffians. When the leaders were sure it was he, the cry was sent out, "It i s the damned Abolitionist ; rail him ; tar and feather him." The mob, en raged and infuriated, surrounded Lovej oy ; he had no doubt that their threats were to be carried out. "Gentlemen," aid he, "I have one reque t to make ; my wife is at home dangerously sick. If you will send one of your men to take the medicine to her, and not alarm her, I \ 1 ill go with you." A man was sent, and the mob started with Lovejoy. They had gone but a few ro d when the leader stopped. ' I can never do violence to such a brave and noble man," he said, and the mob dispersed. I n such trials other men would have given up in despair, but not Lovej oy. Though friendless and alone, the fury of the mob, the threats of tar and feather and of a sas ination could not silence him. He had seen every human instinct trampled upon in the name of slavery. H e had seen negroe burned at the stake i n the streets of his adopted city, and he could not be silenced. t a public meeting we see him. i n the mid t of hi per ecutors, with the tear treamino- dO\ n his cheeks . H e plead ' ith th em for justice ; he pleads that they have mercy on hi afflicted w ife.

H e asked them to point to a single man whom he has harmed or wronged, to a single law which he has violated or abused. V\ hy, then is he not allowed to go to his home at night without being assailed, threatened �;th tar and feath ers and assassination ? \ hy is his afflicted wife driven night, after night, from a sick bed to the garret to save h erself from the brickbats and violence of the mob ? And at the mention of his tend er wife, hunted like a partridge on the mountains, strong man though he is, he again bursts into tears. After a mo ment he continues, " I kno\\ that you can tar and feather me, hang me up, or throw me into the l\Iississippi but " hat then ? I have sworn eternal opposition to lavery an d b) the blessing of God I \\·ill never go back. If the civil author ities refuse to protect me I must look to God, and if I die I am determined to make my grave in Alton ." \\ e can almo t belie\ e that, a h e uttered such words, the d eath agonies of Mcintosh, burning at the stake in the treet of t . Loui , " ere ringing in his ears. \i\'here can b e found in all hi tory a nobler example of heroism and brav ery ? Some have likened him to Martin Luther before the Diet of \ orms ; but part of the nobility of Germany supported Luther. Others have likened him to Paul before Festus ; but Paul was a Roman citizen and I mperial Rome p ro t ected h er subj ects. This man stood alone ; his country refu ed to protect h im. That speech was his last speech, his dying appeal. H e went from that meet ing a doomed man. A few nights later death threatened for o long, came . vVith a fe\Y sympathizers he w a s guarding a n e w press stored in a warehouse. A mob surrounded the building and set it on fire. As the flames rose, Lovej oy opened the door and stepped out in full view. In an instant his body was rid dled with bull ets, and he fell at the feet of hi comrades dead. Elijah P. LO\·ejoy \\ as dead. H i la t editorial again t slavery had been written ; his last appeal had been made. The battle \Yas ended and slavery ' as resolution was offered t o the Illinois Legislature a uring the triumphant. South that the people of I llinois had no sympathy with the fanatic who had per ished at Alton. Only one man in that body an u n gainly youth from the country, dared oppose that resolution. Thirty years later that man wa Presi dent of the united States and signed the Emancipation Proclamation. B ut the triumph of slayery \Va short. In life Lovej oy wrote \\·ith but one pen, spoke with but one tongue. I n death h e wrote with a thou and pen poke with a thousand tongue . His \\·ords reached the remote t corner of the land ; they aroused the entire nation . ' Lovej oy died as a fool dies, said the Attorney-General of Ia sachusetts at a crowded m eeting i n Faneuil Hall. A slender youth gained the platform, and, amid hisses, replied to that statement. ' \\ hen " said he, 'I heard the gen tleman lay dO\rn principles which place the m urders of �lton ide by side \\ ith Otis and H ancock, with Quincy and Adam , I thought tho e pictured lips (pointing to the p ortraits on the wall) \YOuld have broken into voice to rebuke the recreant American, the slanderer of the dead." That was the first speech He had scoffed at Abolitioni ts, he no\\· became their of \Vend ell Phillip

champion. He wa only one of many to whom the murder of Lovejoy had been a revelation and an inspiration . One m an had died · thou ands had been born. The bullet that pierced the heart of Lovej oy truck death to the institution of slavery . What he had longed to do in life he had accomplished a thou and fold in death. For half a century he ha slept in his lonely grave. The slave whom he loved and pitied has been freed · the liberty for which he died has been gained ; the resting place to which his lifeless form was borne through the j eers and hi e of the triumphant mob ha become hi tori c . With patriotic pride we point to the m arbl e lab in our 1\!Iemorial Hall and to the names of our country's de fender written there. Let us turn to the \\ e t, and point ·with pride and rever ence to the tO\ ering shaft on the banks of the M ississippi and to the name writ ten there-Lovej oy, the first great apostle of American freedom.

Ave ! ve ! Dead is the Da ! In the sepulchre of r ight She's laid awayThe stars give out their candle ligh t Above t h e bier. Ave ! Ave ! The moonlight clear Falls on the chi selled stone.

CIUS BRUTUS E E D H AM wa darning hose. This was nothing new for him.

H e ch ewed gum, a he \'VOrked, with the same precision and accuracy as he plied his needl e, and h i s po ture was one of utter abandon ment. Hi own stockings on his shoeless feet, high in the air, were a ghastly advertisement, not of what he had don e, but of what he could do. Som e one knocked.

" Hulloo, Lucy. Do p u t down you r everla t i n ' knittin' work a n d h elp a . feller, can't ) ou ? There' a good girl ." He picked up Needham's truant ball and wound it up as h e talked. 'Say, i it true," he said, that you write article on demand fo.r the small sum of twenty-five cent ?" "Unfortunately it is," groaned Lu cy. "I never told a yarn in my life, though I have been considerably mixed up in it in my day," and he reach ed for an ol d account book. ' hall I tak e your measure now? Subj ect ? Num ber of word ?

(Q1�� H E

Mark Twain wa asked to give a Ii t of the books which had most i nterested and profited h i m , he at once mentioned " I nnocents Abroad " " Huckleberry Finn" and other titles of his own publications. As usual, there wa philosophy in hi wit, and h e had the wisdom to tell the truth. Colby Uni versity has been the g,reatest thing on earth to us the past year and why shoul d we not say so ? To the Seniors it has been th e one thing from the very fact that they are Seniors, and a similar state ment could be made in regard to the Fresh men. In fact, all classe and the President and facult) a well have bared th eir feeling and have aoted accord ingly. The college is our world, and we are all bound to do the best we can for it and get the most we can out of it. This sentiment has given the tone and color to all our college life for the pa t year. The President has gone about with the air of the man who says, "This on e thing I do," and he ha done it. The sixty thou and dollar ha been secured, and a a sort of exclamation point or mark of empha is after i t, twenty-five thousand more have been added. This secu res the long-felt need as to material equipmen t, or at least is the beginning of a new equipment, which mean chemical laboratory, biological labmatory, new ladies' hall and m ore. But the greatest elemen t of ucce s in ra college are not thou sand of dollars or cubic feet of bricks an d mortar. B etter than these material re ult are the rene\ ed love and loyalty to the college on the part of gradu ate and old friend and the intere t thait ha been aiwakened even among strancrer and the valuable acce ion of n ew friend and po;tron .

It is 4 triite enumeration to peak o f piritual poivver intellectual strength, oieial success and physical soundness, b ut 1these are the four greait corner-s1tones of a symmetrical manhood, the cardin al points to which everytlhing else i s referred. I n chapel taJks a n d class ro om conversations they a r e often em phasized, many of the c ollege fun ctions, mo t , we may say, tend to develope them and the majority of our students realize their importance and avail themsel ves of every chance t o secure t h em. It is impossible to enumerate all the details of these four great lines of development. n instance or two will serve to illus trate each . No greater gain has been made in t>h e spiritual realm than in bhe matter of chap el worsh�p. \\ e say greater, becau e it influence e ery student i n col lege. The reverent bearing and hearty p artici·part:ion in the seirvice on the part of all is oonstanitly noticed. The inspiring hym n , the psalm read responsively or in concent the gloria, the petition and th e Lord's Prayer the brief comments and suggest·ions of the President all tend to cultivate the spiri tual nature, and none can go from .t he chapel to the work of the day witih out a spiritnal uplift, a more earnest p u rpose, a jm1ter value u p on life and i ts opportunities a greater safeguard against temptation a n d strength to persevere and o' eir come. Certain features of an intelleotual value h ave been p110 minently before us of late. Every pro.fessor is striving t o ma ke the most of his d epartmernt both in the thoroughness of the required studi es and in extensive and excellent elec tive courses. Th ere cann ot be said to b e a rivalry among the various depart ments, buit never in ithe history of the college has more enthusiasm been mani fested among the instructors and of such a sort a s to en kindle one another and t o inspire the students. Every professor, surely, could report exitra work done by himself i n the w1ay of lectures and s upplementary teaching with l arge and gratifying returns on the part of the students. -ery lititle time i s "·as.t ed at C olby, and i n saying so we are not speaking af the one lazy man among us, but of the ninety and nine just opposite. I n the line of i ntellectual activity, men tion should be made of the n ev\ " Echo , ' published once a week with an ooca sional literary number. \Vhile refl ectin g great credit u pon th e editors who have the imm ediate sup ervision of the p aper, �t truly echoes the litera.ry tone of the college and gives a hint of the cult u re attained in variou s departments of work. Another good indication is the i ncreased interiest in oratory occasioned in part by the interooll egiate d ebates. M e111t•i o n also might be made of the introduction of a course in biology con ducted by M r . Hitchings, and of the recent arrival of D r. Hull to fill the c h air of Physics and Astronomy. No better exponent of the social culture at CoJby could be afforded than the recent elegant reception at the h ome of President and Mrs. B u tler. It was the la.st of a series given during th e yeair. An u n usual n umber both of students and of town's people were present and t he musical societies of the college fur nished an entertaining programme. Every one was at his b est, hoth host and guest, and the true spirit of sociability reigned throughout the evening. that spirit which doe not seek its own eith er in p ersonal display or selfish enj oy ment, but in another's pleasme fi nds its h ighest gratification. 1 79

Th e musical organizations of the college in no small degree foster its social life, not to peak of their cultivating a n d even moral influence. An u nusual number of the students are musicians, and the past year many private and public r ecitals have been given to the great enjoyment of their friends. The concerts abroad h ave been h ighly ip rai'sed: and t h e p erfonnance of the combined clubs at our own oity hall has n ever been surpassed. To those ·who h ave read a recent treatise emanating from Clark University upon the Psychology and Pedagogy of Adolescence, it cannot seem that t oo much ait tention is given to atihletic cultu re. While to the ou.!Aside world the vic tories upon the college field are the indications af greart:est success, to the in stru ctor of college classes, the sound m anhood, the quick eye and the ready mind thait oom e from judicious physical trnining are the greatest triumph s . The grandson of General Grant recently offered himself to General Lee as a subordi na,te 1in his command, saying, " I am twenty-one and I am sound." Many a young Sartor.i s in our ranks could say t h e same, and it is th e greatest glory of a co11ege to have many such . Our successes upon the diamond and gridiron the past year have not been m eagre, b u t we are not puffed up, neither are we fully satisfied, for we expect to do bett e r work i n the future. The make-up of our present team is clean and straight. Every man has been a regular m ember of the college for the entire year, and would be gladly retain ed i n m embership on grounds of s cholarship and manliness. The review of the year i s satisfactory and en couraging. The outlook was n ever more h opeful. An ex-President o f Colby i n a recent private letter speaks of the c o11ege a an institution increasi ngly d ear to him, and as on e that is more true to the purpose of its founder s than most of our co11 eges established by the sacrifi ces and labors of Christian men. These are sentiments which we do well to pon der and make our own .

Th ere was sil ence for a few eoonds, broken by an outbur t fr.om Corson : "There's something great going on in th�s college, aind dion'1: you forget i.Jt ! I1t 11 make ome of you fellow open your eye when it comes out. I 'd tell you what I know if I could-but I can't-it wouldn't do. You j ui st wai t ! " "All right, Cors.," tevenson said ch eerfully. " I f you don t want t o tell what you know to-night, ome other time 'll do. I t won't take you long if you con fine yourself to \\·hat you really know . \ hat you think you know would take a l ifet ime. Look ait Pip.-1he's gone to sleep." ' No, I haven't," D rummond answered 1azily. " I was wondering h ow the Romance of the Red Ribbon would su it the Colonel' ideas of the sacred pas sion of love . 'The romance of the red ribbon ! \i\ hat's that ?" asked Steven on. "Sounds like Conan Doyl e, or tanley Vv eyiman, or some of those fellows." " I t sounds like H enry Lamb i n thi in tance," D ruim·m ond said. " It was on the Glee Club s trip. The boys were entertained at private hou ses , you knaw, and H enry found thait the house \\·her e he put up had a telephone conneotion with the on e wlhere Hud on and Shannon were staying, so he called them up. " I s it Mis•s Brown ?' H u dson asked. " o," H enry said. " I s iit Miss B l ank ?"-never mind w hat h er name was . It was a star that Hudson had picked up omewhere. H enry �ave Hudson to understan d that he had guessed pretty n ear right, so H udson carried on a long conversait i on with the young lady. Pretty soon H enry brought hannon into the talk. Charlie had never seen the girl, you know, and they agreed between them t hat he was to know h er the next night by the red r-ibbon she wore, so the next evening H enry saw them looking round everywh ere for the star with th e red ribbon . He went up to H ud on and said : " Have you seen h er ?" Hudson j ust looked at him-you k n ow hoiw he doe -and then went over and cons ulted ' ith Charlie. Pretty soon H enry a ked hannon the same ques tion, and Charlie said : " How did you know anything about i t ?" ell, what was the end of it?" Co r on a1 ked, as Drummond paused, ap parently ·worn out by such unwonted ex erti·ons. "There wa n't any end. The girl w ith the red ribbon was a phantom, like N ewcome's shadow girl . ' Colonel Page sigh ed. " I f young m en thou ght of young women earnestly and seriously ais 1Jhey ought," he said, " uch frivolities would be impo ible." Corson hardly vva�ted for the Colonel to [ni h. "1'here was a mia.n in our town ," he began, "that got to telephonin o- that way with omebody -' " Look here, Cor . " Drummond in terpo ed-"I don 't b elieve th ere' a tele phone in C ana.an . I don't believe they ever aw one there ." "There is," Corson in i ted.

'A sunflower � small," S tevenson interrupted ; ' a11e you sure it wasn t a cab b age, Cor . ? ay boy , you h ear·d abo u t Gurney s asking one of the co-ords to go to a show w•ith h im-asked h er, you know, ju t at the last minute. as he usually doe -' ' I thought he u ually a ked h er the next morning, after the show wa o er," Dru m mond aid.

O ver the \!\ in low ridge rose th e autumn moon as Bun and his friend de scended Union H ill to favor the fair young maid who dwe1t beneait h . Bun was a Fresh man and his youthful heart throb-bed wi1t h honest pride. It was no Light favor to introduce this charming girl t o hi chum. Th e moon miled d()lwn upon him as he ascended the steps, an d rang the bell, smoothed back h i, way ward h air and arranged hi face into that well-known "why-dlffi-I-so-fascinat ing" smile. Steps were h eard approach ing in ith e hall. Suddenly Bun turned, sprang down the steps and dashed wil d ly off up nion Hill. A cloud chas·ed it elf across the moon. As the darkn e s•s closed in around Bun'1s flying coat tails, his voice floated back to his friend dear and di!Srt:ii not-"Run Ek.e tihe devil, man . I 've forgotten h er name and do n't kn<Y\v who to call for !" The moon smiled down once more and the boys were gone. B ult d<Y\vn the hill came the echo of fl eeting footstep and the words, "Run like the Dicken -son."

faQd a � ttl� 't}i l d 5rya l lan Pyck was a good fellow. A t l east, it was so concedied ihy the re t of th e boys and, as every one kni01ws, th e opinion af one's college mates is a thing n ot to be de pised.

Just then the lamp p u tt ered and w en t out. I t was not t range thait i t did o. Adam ' laimp had a perven.5e h abi t of doing j ust that thing, due, perhaps, to the fact that h e very seldom both ere d to t rim it.

It was aJvyay discouraging to Adams when h e really did get to work to find so m any ob tacles to be overcome. To tell the truth-but we digress. It \Vas evident to Adams that he m u st have some oil for general lighting purposes. H e rather hated to steal ome more from the poor Fresihma·n who had thus far supplied the whol e divi ion \\-1th it, and from ''"horn Adam himelf, only the week b efore, had confi cated a large can full.

H e waits a moment but the maitch has gone out. He lights another and pours in still more of th e oil until the wood is thorou ghly saturated with it.

But even thi time th ere i no flame, no explo ion, and the match quietly burns itself out amidst the wet and dripping wood. dam s could not understand it, but his chum, gra ping the situation , seized the almo t empty can, poured out what remair:ecl u pon a lighted match . "Ju t a I expected, dam s, you ol d fool ,' aid he, that Fre hman h a sq uarecl a part of his account wi.th you. Don't you ee ? this can was filled \ ith \\-at er from the hydran t . " And Adams admitted that i t was one on him.

A POSTER TRAGEDY. A purple moment of bright blue bli s

Was mine, oh, green-haired maid, When from your lips a yellow kiss I sipped in the dark-red shade.

The ecru moon hung on a tree ; We sat by a vertical brook ; You w ere a-laughing in olive-pink glee, And reading the edge of a book. By the red hills topped with golden snow, By the trees tearing holes in the sky, I swore the red world I would over throw For your love, or lie down and die. But away from my . owing I was rudely natched And thrust far, far from you ; The color I wore with the landscape matched, And that would, alas ! n ever do. And now among the blue lilie afloat, On a ea of brown and red I sit on the edge of an olive-green boat And hold my pea-green h ead. 203

An enterprising Colby man, in the intere ts of the Oracle, penetrated the 10\Yer region ome\\-hat prematurely and found Dante a willing guide. The labter became so greatly delighted \Yith the tobacco which the Colby man carried, thait for a ver small piece, in deed he consented to give him a write-up of the entire trip. On the return Longfellow wa encountered.

PART I I .

I n t h e stern lawyer·s office �ext day they sat, all four, _-\ nd life ,,·as not so j oyous _-\s it had seemed before.

But all in vain h e fluttered, And \Vailed as one w ho drinks The cup of doom. Squinx grasped him, The rooster h e gasped, 'Squinx !"

Chico \Yith head uplifted Tried hard to seem a man ; quinx glowed with childi h blush es As only Squinxie can.

nd then h i s downy feathers Floated upon the air, .And then a smell of roasting tole down the college stair.

And do,.-n Doc s tender features The bitter tears did roam . He wept : ' " I didn t mean to I \Yi sh I could go home !"

And then bh e h eroes gathered Four mighty men \\·ere th ey They sniffed afar the banquet, They girded for the fray.

Then grimly spake th e l awyer : " ' \\"hen next you earch the field , And chase the gentle rooster, Pursuing till he yields ;

Thev crunched h i s sturdy drumsticks, · T h ey pierced his ten der breast, Th ey ate him lights and liver, Gizard, and all the rest.

'\\"hen you h i s neck are twi- ting, _-\nd he in angui1-h h oll ers, Thin k-'of this breed of chicken Each rooster costs five dollars I ' "

But Chico saved h i s wishbone To use some future day, \Vith tender smile he quoted : " I t is not ahYays �lay ! '

Then \Yh ile in glo omy ilence Each h ero dre\Y hi purse, And ante-d to the la,,·yer \Yith an unspoken-ble sino-,

And \\·hen the feast w a s over, They laughed with malice bold .At those who had not feasted Left, h ungry, in the col d .
