T H IS BOOK I dedicated w;th tender regard TO T H E M E M O RY O F

" He. To whom a thouďż˝and memor;e call, Not beďż˝ng less but more than all The gentleness he seem'd to be. Best seem'd the t11ing he was. and jo;n'd Each office of the ocial hour To noble manner , as the :flower And nabve growth of noble mind; Nor ever narrownes or spite, Or vJla-in fancy :fleeting by, Drew in the expre ;on of an eye Where God and Nature met in Eght: And thus he bore without abu e The grand old name of gentleman."

FOREWORD

m H E EDITORS have essayed this volume o f T H E ORACLE not only to do ju t;ce to the duty tl1at has w- devolved upon them as editors. but also as students of m

Colby to vindicate the purpose and reputat;on of the college. Our attempt IB here materiahzed. To our accomphsl1menhf accompli hment it be-we do not needlessly rn�te your criticism; that w;ll too unwittingly be g;ven. We do not especially d;rect your attenbon to add;tions or renova tions; they must necessarily be di covered. Certain new ideas have been conceived. and various suggestions made by the editors as to the structure of the book. Some of the e have been incorporated. but that we might not be con idered too radical. others have been omitted. B ut we feel that some of the e suggesbons which have been held ;n re erve may be conveyed to future editors with a degree of value to succeeding volumes. These suggestions will be found elsewhere. and we trust may meet with approval and commendation. Possibly editors of T H E ORACLE heretofore, perhaps from force of tradition rather than anyth;ng else. have anticipated undue criticIBm ill behalf of their book. But words silently invit ing approval tend to provoke the opposite. Therefore. in presenting our volume, we ask you to take it on its own merits. The burden of fault rests upon us. Kindly cr;t ici m will be apprec;ably received. OHense w;ll not be created by helpful suggestions. The culminabon of our eHorts ; here presented. The book is yours.

Under a ro e- ilk Chine e lamp i n a mall but exqui itely appointed library a woman sat readi1io-. The dull ctober day had already yielded to the pall of even ing and i n the murky treet , trewn v ith wet autumn leaves, the ligh t hone with blurred a n d feeble radiance. T h e forlorn drip, drip, of an uncertain drizzlina rain ur on the roof of the adjoining buildings ro e with mournful cadence to the window but coul d not penetrate the warmth and comfort within. The soft alow of the electric l iaht a it filtered th rough the ro e-tinted silk of the lamp touched with a warm, tender l igh t the mahogany furniture of the room and rested care singly on the fi aure of the woman i n the chair. he eemed to be reading re ties ly with frequent I na pau e , during which he gazed for many moment at the ame paae. Then her moo l changed and she began turning the pages sw i ftly one after the other until the word ''Quae tu " cientiae, "A Para ble,'' caught her eye and she began to read curiou ly at fir t and then with deep ening i ntere t : ' With j oyful hearts and dauntle pirits the maidens began their j ou rney i n t l1e beaut i fu l glow of an In di a n summer clay. Despite the signs of death and age ail around a new l i fe was ju t begi nning for them. They could till see the white towers and turrets of the home ca tie ( only a l ittle way back ) glearn ing i n the morning un, subtly, almo t imperceptibly beckon ing them : Resolutely the maidens turned their face to the new la11d beyond, murmuring their motto, "ad a tra per aspera, cientia we eek." Before them lay broad field cro sed an I recros ed by winding paths , some broad and smooth , others narrow and rouo-h, with many a twist and turn which hid the traveller from sight for a time. long these roads the company travelled day after day, sometimes swiftly, more often slowly and carefully. Some fell by the wayside overcome by the roughness of the way and the bli tering heat of the un. The rest with thei r eyes fixed on the brigh t gilded acrosti c 'ad a tra per a pera · ever gleaming before them pre - e 1 on, sometimes turning aside at Pleasure's call to pluck a bouquet of some gaily colored flowers nodding i n a nearby meadow or to rest and bathe thei r dust-cov ered faces in a stream. J ust ahead of them now were the dim outlines of a forest with i ts tree tops waving a welcome to the travelers. With refreshed spirits they entered the wood glad of a change at least. The paths were narrower now and overhead the t rees were very thick, almo t hiding the sun at times. Often progre was impeded by a fallen tree or ru hing brook ; many t ripped and fell over root hidden in the soft green moss which carpeted the forest floor. At la t the dim aisles of the woodland ceased and the maidens emerged on a bright, sh ining beach, stretching away to the right for m iles, many terminating i n a high moun tain on whose summit a palace was seen faintly outl ined against the horizon . The band, diminished in numbers, with but a remnant of it former sel f, began this third stage of its j ourney with eager heart. The steps of each were freer and more confident, the look of determination and biah re olve on their faces softened by the hope of attainment near.

Sophomore History MEN

The hi tory of 1 9 1 2 is not a mere succession of dates and incidents. I t is a record of progress and advance not of decline and retrogression. The fall o f 1 908 marked a wonderful change i n the l i fe hi tory of Colby Col lecre ; it was then that she awakened from the dormant chrysalis stage and entered into activities as a true imago. The stimulus for this awakening may be attrib uted to two reasons, first, the advent of P resident Roberts, and second , the entrance of the Clas of 1 9 1 2 . It may be said that the first was responsible for the second, but it i equally t rue that the second has been to a large extent responsible for the final re u lts, since i n every branch of college activities 1 9 1 2 has ever taken a gen e rous part. Our Freshmen history has already been related. How, after the F reshman Sophomore ba eball game, we marched unmolested around the cinder track sing ing Phi Chi how we held our successful receptions at the Haines' homestead and at Elks Hall ; how we appropriated the Sophomores' refreshments to avenge our tolen class banner and held v ictorious spread at ' Foss College," all the e have been tru thfully recorded and it i s only in a rem iniscent spirit of introduction that we refer to them. fter such a series of triumphs it was only natural that 'vVe bade our seats in Freshman row a tender ' Lebewohl," and assumed those acros the aisle as well-merited rewards. Thus the fall of 1909 foun d us. Our numbers had been reduced by one third, but to the fact that the remaining two-thirds have been sufficient for all ophomore duties the present Freshman Class is a memorial . Bloody Monday I ight passed with all success and many a Freshman's l usty cheer testified to the superiority of 1 9 1 2. There were indeed a few who not hav ing the courage of their mates "ran away and hid," but these were taugh t the les ons of equali ty and retribut ion on the next clay. ,, A little later the F reshmen attempted a grand debut at Oakland, but here again 1 9 1 2 was omnipotent , omniscient and omnipresent. It was not deemed neces· sary for the whole class to pay attention to this affair, so a committee of twelve wa appointed and these soon a fter their arrival on the scene, had the whole class under con trol and on their way homev1 ard. But here hostilit ies cease ; the old dogma o f "an eye for an eye" i s laid aside ; modern brotherly love replaces ancient fatherly love, and amid it a l l gleams the foresight and w isdom of the "Little Father." I t has been said that the second year i n college is t he severe test on one's manners and morals. Whether the behavior of 1 9 1 2 has been exemplary can oon be determined for the time i s now approaching when we will have a shorter Nevertheless, v ay across the Chapel to the seats on t he other side of the posts. it is not well to look ahead to such d ignity for the Sophomore year, everything considered, i s a very p leasant one. ·

Sophomore History WOMEN

On February 1 4 1 9 1 0, certain inmates of Fos Hall received a f e w extracts from the diary of Father T ime. They were accompanied by a short note from the old gentleman him elf, stating that he wa sending some material to the women s divi ion of the Sophomore Clas at Colby College, thinking that i t m ight be of aid to them i n compiling their class hi tory. The extracts were perused ' ith great care, and the class decided to publish them j ust as they were received. September 23, 1 908. ' This year the entering class at Colby College is u n usual in both quantity and quality. The women' divi ion, which number 6 1 , especially interests me, for they appear to hav great talent. I ndeed the three Fate sist e rs have told me that those children are o outdo every clas that has graduated from Colby. I w i l l adm i t that they are verdant and childi h, but those faults al ways vanish. The ble ed infants ! l\Iay they have success in every undertaking ! ' J u n e 30, 1 909. . ' Ju t topped at Colby thi mornina, and learned some very interesting ne\ s concerni ng that remarkable class which entered last fall. They might well say, as Cce ar ha so often remarked in our a fter-dinner smokes, when he has been relating some conquest, ' Vc11i, Vidi, Vici.' Last fall they w ere victorious in the Peanut Drunk ' a curiou custom observed by the women's division at Colby. Th y gave the men of their class a reception in spite of the watchful eyes of the girls of 1 9 1 i . " Those Fre hman girls have certainly fulfilled all t h ait was prophe ied con cerning them. I did not tay long a t the college ; but du ring my brief soj ourn there, I heard the praises of the Clas of 1 9 1 2 sung by everyone f rom old Phi Chi him elf dov. n to the hou ekeeper of Foss Hall. I overheard one rosy cheeked la sie say, 'Just wait till we're ophomores !' I ndeed, I myse l f can hardly , ait. I n pite of many duties, some of them trivial and i rksome, I must keep an eye out for that Clas o f 1 9 1 2. " February 1 2, 1 9 1 0. ' Those p recious children dovvn there at Colby ! I met M ercury this morning and knowing my interest, he stopped to tell me about the 1 9 1 2 girls at Colby. Tis rumored, so h e said, that they have abolished all haz ing, even ' Peanut D ru n k. 1oreover, they are guiding the Freshmen along the paths of knowl edge :in a t ru l y marvelous manner. In every basketball gam e played t h is year, those girls have been victorious. '

They wou l d dive from their pring boards, swim for a hart di tance, and then come up under an overturned canoe. They woul i ften remain un !er the canoe for ome time. Hen' tudied the ituation, he plainly aw that the overturned canoe acted a a ·torage of fre h air, and thu the t i me that one could remain under one of the e canoe wa limited only 'by the amount o f fre h air '' hich the apartment contained. everal time the boy gave the appearance of one drow n i ng so long were they able to remain out o f ight in this manner. The su pense which this kept one i n a 1 pealed to Hen' playfu l nature. The old man wa o i ntere ted i n watching the boy that he l ittle noticed, and eemed to care le s, that a thunder torm wa rapidly gathering i n the north we t, until the w ind, which preceded it, began latting the ail o f the l ittle craft w ith great viol ence. The ky became overca t, and Hen's attention wa fir t called to the fact that darkne wa ettling dov n upon the lake and the woods ·by the mournful hooting o f an owl i n a thicket near the shore. Big drops of rain began to fall thick and fast, driving the boy to places of helter, while Hen' lowly pulled in the sail and tu rned the bow of his l ittle craft toward home.

The rain ceased and oon the fierce wind had driven every cloud from the ky, and a great calm settled over all while U1e sun shone w i th full warm ray upon a clean, beaut i fu l world. During the storm many anxiou eyes from the veranda of the hotel had tried to fo11ow the course of the only boat on the lake. However, during the thick of ow in plain v iew near the middle of the torm they lost ight of i t altogether. the lake, could be seen an overturned boat.
