FT E R four l ong and happy years spent at Colby the class of nine teen hundred and four s t ands upon a t h reshold, as it were, opening into a new and broader l ife . Soon we shall step across t he t h reshold and pull shut the door of undergrad uate l ife. B ut let u s push open the almost closed door to take one m ore farewell l ook before we close it up n ourselves for all time. Loo k i n g backward t h rough the ope n door of college l i fe we see ourselves as a bunch of green Freshmen, ignorant of Col l ege activities and requirements N everth e less we were w il ling an d eager to learn and a year taught u s many things . We look again and the group of Freshmen has changed to a lot of noisy, care-free Sophomores. What fun we had with the F resh m en in general and with their reading in part icular. We won the class t rack gam es and entered every side of coll ege life. O nce again we l ook back ward and see our selves grown into ] u n iors, e nj oying their so-called ''] u nior Ease" B u t we d id not find this year easy . Far from it . We settled d own to work in real earnest . O n ly the "Strike" occ urred to break the m onotony of our steady plugging. A bo u t to c lose the d oor we take a last look over t h e last year. Time has worked wo nd ers with us; b u t m ost of a l l it has thinned our ran ks from n early fi fty to an even sixtee n . But this h as only served to bri ng us closer together as c lassmates . We h ave taken an active i nt erest in, and furnished men for all kinds of col l ege activi t ies . Our record is one to be proud of. I n a short t im e we sh a l l h ave to close the door on our col lege l ife and associat ions, to go out into t h e b roader school of the worl d . W e shall do t h i s bravel y and shall seek our fut ure with the kindest feel i n gs toward the coll ege that has sheltered us for so long.

WOME N

Mot h er Colby fl u ng wide her doors t o receive the class of r905, she litt le realized what a remarkable class was now en tering within her statel y wall s . When Freshmen w e al ways had o u r eyes opened to the child ish pranks of the Sophomores. When they told us that Prexy's office was in Coburn H al l we nly pitied them that t h ey had been at Colby one whole year and did not know better. O ur peanu t d ru n k we carried out with great succes , for our c l a. s spirit alone was sufficient to m ake the Soph timid. At the end of the year came the Freshman Exit, which was the crowni n g glory of a year wel l spent. The next Septem ber we returned , in numbers weakened, in abi l i ty strengthened, but ready to bear our Sophomore duties ' hich we soon found to be many ancl d iffic ul t . Our fir t great task was that o f reÂ forming the Freshmen , and as far as t h i t ask could be accom plished we certai n l y d id our d uty . \ e have heard t h at one d ri n k always create the desire for another and th is proved true i n our case . The craving came upon u and we held another peanut d ru n k altho ugh it wa whol ly unplanned for by u . Everything went on smoot h ly in our Sophomore year u n t i l , alas and alack-the F resh man R eading. O ur brothers, feeling that they shou l d pay due respect to old-t i m e c u stom s, and th ink i n g that P rex_ ' s bark was worse tlnn h i s bite, formed in a body on that fatal night and marched to their doom . T h is brough t great woe upon us, for how could we get along without our brothers, upon whom we depended in all t h ings ? Sorrow overcam e us and we too, of our own accord, tu rned our bac ks upon Colby . Th u s ended our Sophom ore year. But before th e opening of the next ) ear we b ad l ived down our great sorro'' , and on our return felt that the sun shone brighter after a cloud . The Faculty h ad e idently repented of their rash act and made the e xam s . wh ich h ad been so d readed, a decided snap. H aving passed through this ordeal we t u rned our attention to other thi ngs, and the J u n ior year h as proved no less enj oyabl e than the previous years . So far we have been loyal to Colby and we do not intend that our loyalty shall ever be l acking. 35

of the clas f ni nete n- ix are very modest . It h a never been our habit t o boast of our doings . Yet we can no t avoid a feeli n o- of h n st prid i n o u r recurd d u ring t h e past t w year . J t is but j ust to ay t hat seldom, i f ever, i n the h istory of the college ha a clas of uch except ional a bil itie entered the door of old Colby. And i t is a matter o f common k nowledge that no class has ever done so m uch in o short a time to prove itself worthy of all honor from the t udent body a t large. But our m odesty wil l not allow u s t o d w e l l upon t h ese f a c t . n example or t wo will suffice. W h a t would our foot ball and basebal l team have done but for the ski l l and prowess of the m em ber from nineteen - i x ? They h ave brough t to the college what ver of u cess ha bee n won up to t h e presen t h o t 1 r i n athletic contests. nd in the l i n e of scholarsh i p , how we have laid low t h e profs i n spi te of t heir utmo t effort s to t r i p u s . But again I say, our m odesty forbids us t o dwell f urther upon t hese facts. In one d irect ion alone ha the cla s failed t o perform wi t h credit the d u t ie wh ich h ave fallen to i t . In grappling with the problem of correctly t rai ning n i neteen-seven we m us t admi t that even our u n Â e ' celled wisdom has been baffl ed-the task has been t oo great for m ortal man to accom pl ish . I t wou l d i ndeed be d i ffi c u lt to estimate the benefit wh ich h as co m e N ew l i fe a n d spirit h ave t o the col lege because of our presence here . bee n aroused in every departm e n t of col lege act ivity by the com in g of t h e c lass of r n neteen-six. A nd now as we stand fac ing the stil l greater F roblems which await u s d u ring our remain i ng two years of college life, our h earts beat fi rm w i t h the h igh resol ve that the purpose t hat h as so far anim ated al l our acts shall con t i n u e to k eep us t rue to the best i nÂ terests of the college. Yet even here we are rest rained by our modest y which forbids us t o a n t icipate our t riumphs, and which is, i n deed, the most characterist ic and w i n ning t ra i t of the c lass.

0 it cam e t o pass in t he rule of t h e good { ? ) Prexy hite that a ne\ tri be did enter hi kingdom which was called 1 906. I t " as a goodly t ribe and the women thereof were six and twenty . And i n the beginning they did long exceedingly for the land of their fathers, and m uch oppression was thei r lot Âˇ for there was one t ribe wh ich did vex them sorely and d id seek to put their cou ncil to naugh t . But the t ribe did confound their wisdom and did ha e a peanut drunk with m uch eating and drinking ; and to the m en of the tribe they d id make a feast and did pass the n igh t in singi ng and d an c i n g a n d in making m e r ry . Once the t ribe of the wicked did fal l upon them by night and did make them do strange things Âˇ an d they d id bring confusion into their habitations. But many were the feasts of the new t ribe and their bones did wax fat a nd they flourished as the cedars of Lebanon for there was not o errn uch study, which is a weariness of the flesh . And at the end of the fi rst year they did go to Fairfield and d id m ake a great feast where they did break the bonds of oppression and from h enceforth they were t rou bled no more. I n their secon d year in the k ingdom it fell u pon them to watch o er and i nstruct the n ew tribe i n the way i t should go . After the fashion of other t ribes this new t ribe did have a pean u t drunk and boast with many words, whereat they did rise u p and did take a measure of peanuts and did gi e of them to all the t ribes . nd now the number of their feasts groweth less and they l abor with exceeding great toil and t heir ft e h waxeth weary, for the word of the king and his coun Â cil l ors saith t h a t Physics is n o t elective . Wherefore they possess their souls in patience and await the time when they shall be the fi rst tribe in the kingdom and shaJl leave the weary grind.

I t take many kinds of people to make a college, but t hey are all m ore or 1 h uman . The average man come to college to do as much work a the fa ulty can make him do, t o leep as l ong a t hey will allow him to, and to enj oy l i fe the re t of his t im e whether the faculty will or n . The creed of the college man concerns itself chiefly with his ' phy ical exi tence, and h i Golden R ul e is "do 'em up, or get done . ' Who are you M r . Pre icl e n t to say nay, if he wish to sit on a h igh board fence for once in the year, "making n ight hideous" by giving small vent t o h i feeling after daily having his fur rubbed the wrong way about his eth ic. of l iving, and weekly having ome ill-smell ing Doctrine can t ied t o h i otherwise oft t wisted tail ? Better take care, and don ' t be ra h M r. Pre. ident, when t he rats l eave the ship, you k now, there is not m uch hope, and it' the same way with k i t tens. Of course, if you have n o tact , it is pr tty hard to handle men, and you ought not to be blamed for what you don ' t have. Oh no, the t rustees are responsible for that, never fear old boy, we all know i t . Speaking o f tact, I knew a m i nister once he was a m ighty good fellow, too, but he had no tact and he didn't understand human nature any better than some other people. H e was always wondering why he could never create m uch enthusiasm and get new members into his church . He quite overlooked the fact that t here were a lot of people outside his church who d id fully as much good in the world as those inside. Being conceited (or narrow) he could not see things from another stan dpoint t han his own , but t hose outside could, t hey u nderÂ stood and many times fel t sorry for h i m . So i t is today, he can' t see 1 56

over his back fence, but he is grand viceroy in his own barn-yard and he rules with an iron hand. So never mind, God will show him where he missed the point, not 1 .-Moral : G ive the other fellow credit for knowing a little at least, for God 'aint said yet whether you was a fool or I . There is a man in East A u rora who says that you don ' t know any more than any one else, and I think he is right when he says i t . I have wandered a bit I see, but here's at it again. I know you' re sorry about that last F reshman R eading and so am I . I am always sorry after my good times, sort of a mornin'-after sorrow don ' t you know. I have been told t hat some of t hose compounds advertised in the street cars would m ake one "feel all right t he next morning, " but I don ' t know, I would advise you to t ry boarding at the Commons, for that is guaranteed and endorsed by ninety students to ha\'e the ame effect , and is m uch more pleasant ( ? ) to take. So you would ·uppress the "War C ry ? " What ! I n this land of the greatest freedom, alm ost the very symbol of Liberty itself, would you teach those young and t ractile ( ? ) minds under your care that worst of tyrannies, the suppression of the press ? Go to, go to, I must refer you to one of the stanchest forefathers of that Puritanism of your ; J ohn M ilton says t hat a wise man can gather gold out of the d rossiest vol ume, and a fool will be a fool with the best book, or indeed without a book. J oh n h it us all t hen, both you and me, didn't he ? vVhat of it, if you d£d suspend the Sophomores, the college went with them and then you made such a farce of the examination , when we returned in the fal l , that every one passed without even looking at his term 's work in review. I say, but that m usic m ust have cost you a pretty penny, and t he newspaper space, too, which you bought to con t radict false ( ? ) reports and rumors in. Well, "those who dance m ust pay the fi ddler. " E h ?
