placing this volume of T H E O RACLE in fhe hands of fhe student body T H E E D ITO RS dare t o hope that i t will on the whole meet with approval.

Certain &anges have been made in fhe nrange· ment of the book in the hope that they would make for un�formity. Still further &anges were cons;dered, but on account of increased expense could not be adopted. We reali'Z.e fully our mistakes and failures. You will probably reabze them too as you read the book. We do not, however, make any excuses or apologies. On the other hand we &eerfully await all cntictlims, reaE'Z.mg that they are merited, and only asking that they be made in a kindly spirit.

Our highest hope � that it may be deemed worthy to occupy a place alongside former O RACLES both in the home and in the college. With this word of greeting we turn the book over to you. For one year it ha!! been O U R book: now it is YOU RS.

We bel ieve that the t ime ha come when it woul d be for the be t interest o f t h e college as a w hole t o take t h e RJ\CLE ut of t h e hand o f t h e fraternities and make it a more repre entative college publ ication. Time wa when nearly every student at Colby wa a member of a fraternit) but this i changinrr, and we all welcome the advent of a trong non- frat element. Even if the ORACLE should be managed a now, backed by the fraternitie , we believe t hat ome arrangement should be made whereby non-fraternity students would be repreÂ sented on the Editorial Board. But, better even than that would be the plan to make the ORACLE a J unior Cla publication. Thi wou ld give the whole Senior year for the ettlement of all bu ines matters.

If i t is true that we are to have a new dormitory at Colby, there coul d be no better time to enact a new rul e concerning the taking of men into the fraterÂ rnties. T here is no denying that many t imes men are initiated who prove ere lon: g t hat they are not capable of doing college work. \i ould it not be w ise to h ave a certain definite scholarship requirement insisted u pon by the College ? The plan that is meet ing with success in so many of the colleges and universities makes one semester's work, o f at lea t a passing grade, necessary before a student can be initiated into a fraternity. This protects the fraternity, and at the ame time gets the students into the habit of t udying. under present conditions it would be practically impossible to put such a rule into effect, but with a new dormitory i t coul d be very easily made practicable.

T H E COLBY O RACLE

In l a t year e litorial w e find this sentence : 'There ought to be on our taff an a rt editor who e ole duty wou l d be to uggest, procure, and arrange l rawings and have ful l charge of the art department.' In accordance w i t h thi recomm endati on an art editor w a - elected at the annual meeting. The Editor and the Bu ine Manacrer d n t con ider the experiment to have been a suc ce . In the fal l the art edit r \Ya tol d the plan for the book , given a l ist of dra w i ng needed, and given ful l charcre of the department. For ome rea on, p robably the tre of col l e cr and clas \\·ork , nothing \Ya done , and at the la t moment the work fel l u pon t he Editor-in- h i ef. Thank to the hearty support of the a rti t of both division \\·e w ere able to procure ome creditable work, but \Ve feel that i t coul d have been much better w it h more time. You v i l l notic that the Editor ha taken the l iberty of makincr ome marked change in the arrangement of the cla e . \ e claim to be a coll ege of co-or d inate d i vi ion , and if that i o then the eparation into ":\I en · an ·I V\ omen· Divisions i a logical in the ORA LE a it is in the coll ege catalogue. e have tried to be fai r in the matter of giving pace to the intere t of the \Vomen Divi ion, and we feel that they are more ful l y repre ented than e er before and yet i n a way that cannot give offence to any fair-minded per on. \\ e are glad to w elcom to our m i dst the nev; member of the facult) . There are everal t h i year to \•;horn we mu t give the hand of fellow h ip, fiye in uffice i t to all. You will find more about them i n another ection of the boo k . ay that Colby i the happy crainer by their pre ence.

B a , a Dean of the \Vomen· Divi F rom all report the recri me of ":\I i ion, ha been a h appy and pro perou one. \i\ e congratul ate her u pon her splen did admini trat ion. \ e concrratulate the women of the college upon their privi lege. \i e beli eve that the Dean repre ent the t pe of womanhood that Colby bel ieve in and de i re to end out i n to the w orld . vVe are fortunate in having u c h an excellent picture of her in thi OR CLE.

Sometime i t eems t h at the be t feeling of humanity, the noblest and m ost u nselfi h, come at the time of ome mi fortune or di a ter. We deeply deplore April 15

Sophomore History Thirteen i not an unlucky number a the uper titiou \Yould have us believe. The page of h i tory a re ful l of example of l ucky thi rteen , not the l east note \\'Orthy of w hich are the thirteen orio-inal colonie of America. Nor has Colby been here lighted, for the College charter wa granted in 1 8 1 3 and he now hel ter beneath her fostering roof the brilliant, omn ipotent Cla s of 1 9 1 3. In the Autumn of 1 909 seventy-two of u '� ere enrolled a members of olby. G reen we were, a the very grass of the Campus if you " ill but deter mined by all on earth and beneath it to make our eh es di t inctly een , heard, and felt . " B loody � londay " came bringing a gloriou v ictory for 1 9 1 3 . The tair · at i\orth College w ere bravely defended ao-ain t all comer until daybreak when the be ieging partie withdre\\' in di order and confu ion. In the track and baseictor and the Junior duly received their grape . ball conte t we ' ere ea Our Fre hman reception wa a great ucce . A small party of Sopho more attempted to interrupt the fe t ivitie , but I forbear to tell their fate. Hov: ever if anyone i cu riou about i t, let him tep to t he telephone and call 32-2.

Early one October evening a hu h fel l over the town and upperclassmen earched for its cau e, discovering that not a Fre h man stood in the street or on the street-corner . Where wa 1 9 1 4 ? l ittle detective work on the part of a few vigilant Sophomore reveal the place of retreat and the fact that the Frshman banquet was · there to be served. Sad story ! The Soph got there through darkne and water, and thundered for admi sion at the door. Doors were fl u ng wide and the conquerors made welcome. We have but one more defeat to tell,-the interclass meet which they lost by a close margin ,-and we turn to the v ictory that has given them a vision of a new day-the winning of the ophomore and Fre hman relay race. With this victory they hail the promi ing day. Fre hmen w i l l not al ways be Freshmen, and experience teache sl wly, but u rely.

T h e character of D ctor Hall cannot b e put into word . T h o e -v ho knew him be t did not know benev Jenee, acumen loyalty, el f- acrifice, sympathy, charity and friend h i p ; they knew a reat oul wherein were all the e elements but which \Âˇ a greater than all f them. The catalogue of hi virtue cannot show

forth the l iving man, nor can the tory of hi deeds make him known to those who n ever knew him. To h i s college h e was loyal and devoted, giv i ng her gladly the best of his l i fe. For many year he served her a profe or of modern language and helped out occasionally by teaching Horace, trigonometry and calcu l u as well as giving l ecÂ tu res on German history. s l ibrarian he revoluticnzed the l ibrary and made it the

efficient branch of the college equipment that it is to-day. Through the good offices of h i s friendship he procu red the hannon bui lding on the campus.

The t rees began to cast their darkening shadows along the shore-line leaving the sky and water alone i n the soft and sub dued ligh t o f eventide. Soon the boat reached a cove, crescent i n hape, w hose banks w e re decked to the water' edge with birche himmering w h ite even i n the rrloom that was gradually enveloping both land and water.

A Sunset ll day long the rain had descended-slowly, steadily, drearily. The face of nature had been hidden in a thick, oppressive, inpenetrable veil o f mist. Towards night-fall a l ively shower with frequent sharp l ightning flashes and loud peals o f t h under reverberating through the hills, arose suddenly beyond the d istant mountain peaks ; shut out the glow of the westward sinking sun, and driven by the winds, on its broad able pinions, sped swiftly over head and a way to the east. Back i n the w est the sun broke th rough a rift q uickly, scattered the loitering clouds, and sent them fleeing in the wake of the receding storm. The strip of gold w i dened changed to purple as it neared the zenith, and finally covered the whole sky except for the curtain o f blackness spread in the ea t , riven at i ntervals by j agged flashes of ight. A I gazed, the hand of the Master Painter with swift, invisible strokes, spread u pon the canvas o f nature such a vision o f sky and l andscape, such brilliancy o f setting, coloring and hannonie as man has never dreamed o f ; the atmo phere itself o ftened and deepened to an a lmost unearthly grayish purple l ine. The surrounding hills, the circle of mountain distant, yet seeming near, glowed w it h a warm deep violet tint, transfigu red in that magic l ight-the like of which never was on land o r sea. The sunset l ines from palest yellow to deepe t crimson mingled and blended w ith a l ight and life wonderful to behold . In t h e broad circular slope f rom the mountains t o the valley below, waved h e r e and there banks of fog l ike great t ufts of eider down clinging clo e to the earth, following some i nvisible stream or floating above a w ooded lake. The fields nearby descencfing toward the valley were of an intense emerald, vivid and t range in contrast to the color of sky and hills. bsorbed i n contemplation o f these plendors someth ing drew the gaze to the east, and there in all its brilliancy, its beauty o f color and symmetry of form, h ung the great a rch of a rainbow against the inky c louds behind, its colors now deepening and burning with increasing l uster. In the we t the amber streaks changed to crim on then to gold. The sky glowed like l iving flame. Long the .gaze was held spellbound by the never-to-beÂ forgotten scene. Then the scarlet and violet hues melted l ittle by l ittle to a shade as delicate a a l ilac blos om. The emerald of the fields lowly dimmed, the rainbow faded till only the ends could be seen above the horizon, as the great wheel of the sun sank 'beh ind a mountain peak. When only a narrow rim of gold stil l showed, it seemed to pause an i nstant to bid the darkening world a last good night, before i t ank to re t ; then w it h a few parting shafts o f l ight i t dropped from sight, its li ngering reflection on the s k y above s l o w l y , slowly, fading away into night.

Then in the wee small hour ' ith silence and my tery all about, a ne' ociety \Vas formed vv ithin the ,, alls of the Deke Hou e.

To be ure all prepared to retire for paj ama and night shirts were more conducive to coolne s on a June night anyway. A dozen boy at down about the table and tried thei r hand at "bid' whi t.

The maple around i t are fi e ry carlet and you get the p rettiest view of the campu , down the enior · t roll acros ou r dormi tory lawns, way over to ilver Lake. I never saw the t rees look lovelier than they do, this fall . And in ide the old room looked ever o pretty with all the differ ent college banner . There were crowd o f p retty girls a round and I don · t deny that some of the men were quite ornamental. O f cou rse, the Freshmen v ere out in full force. The re are lots of prett girl in the cla 'b11t not one sweeter-look ing than Margaret. he wa all in white and her dark curly hair fell a round her face. It never eemed prettier to me. S h e has such a shy gentle way, too. Everybody looked a t h er and, oh, v. asn t I proud t hat I knew her ! Lots of the Fre hmen boy seemed eager to make her acquaintance and some o f them seeme d ever o nice but one,-well, she v;as ju t ::iiargarefs ort. Tall and dark and good-looking older t han some o f the others, with something i n hi manner, well, I can ·t j u st tell you ho> it i s, but he eemed a complement to Mar ga ref looks and ways. v\ ell, a fter he wa introduced he fairly took possesion o f f argaret, and I carcely saw her again.

A C ommencement Episode

Commencement week wa at hand. For day the weather had been unusuall) fi ne, and 2\ature ga e a renewed p rorni e of golden unsh ine and gorgeou- beauty in the week to come . . 11 tudent look fornÂˇard to their c mmencement v eek with eager eye ; and to all graduate their commencement v eek is a di tinct m ilestone in their lives. This is their la t week, their perfect week, pent under the shadow of their Alma Mat er. qon the doors are to be opened wide and they must go out, each fighting for his or her place in the world. Dick orton was feeling e pecially lonely a he ' atched hi room-mate, Harold Dent, getting ready to meet hi parent and ister vYho were coming on the a fternoon t rain. Dick's father and mother had b th died when he wa a small boy, and he had liv d rather a lonely and desolate childhood with his grand father and an elderly maid n aunt. The e two good but rather indifferent relatives had died, leaving Dick the po e or of a com fortable fortune. Howe er, he wa alone i n the vvorld, with no relative and very fe, clo e friend . N ever had he felt so lonely and in need of friends a nov\ . He dumb!) realized a never 'before that there wer th in gs money could not buy. Hi cla mate were all bu y w ith their gue t , but he had no one of hi own to take an intere t in him, no one v horn he c uld a k to hi- commencement, no one to be hi gue t for thi "perfect week. " .. ay, Dick, ol d man ! Wake up ! I want you t o come along wi th m e. You know the folk are coming and I want you to go to the stat ion too. ome on, Oh hang ! come on and stop your talking. \i e haven't time for any arguments now o ou might's well get a move on ! " ' The station plat form wa crowded a!1d t h e incoming train '' as almost j ammed. A fter several delay the Dents de cen ded to the platform . Dick had met both }.fr. and f.. l r . Dent before, and they greeted him v armly. After their greeting \Vere over Harvey gra ped hi friend' arm and said : " Dick, this is my i ter Nell," and Dick found h imself bowing to the prettie t girl he had ever seen. ' ' I feel as i f I knew you quite well indeed, Mr. Norton. Harvey i alway telling u of you," aid the vi ion . Dick fl u hed w ith pleasure and embarras ment. uddenly a thought passed through hi mind : ' ' Perhaps thi v ould be a happy week anyway . ' " That night Harvey t ld Dick his plans for entertaining hi gne t and to these plan Dick added ome of hi own. The next day Dick found him elf delegated to take Mi s Dent canoeing. cretly he wa much elated at the thot o f the trip. Nell proved herself a del ightfu l companion and a tru e sport woman. All that week they were con tant companion and Dick soon found him el f telling f\ ell ome of hi mo t ecret thot and deepe t longing and Nell ' a alvvay ympathetic. When the time for departure came the cloud began to lower again. D ick felt his old de pondency retu rning little by little. A the la t farewells were being said Dick took Nell"s hand aying a he did so : Miss Nell, I want to thank you for being o kind to me. and helping me to enjoy my last few day here at college in the "' ay I have. You can never k now

What Summer Means to Me To me ummer means a ea on of long, glad day , u hered in by u nn.y morning , gay with the t witter of bird darting from branch to branch l ightly poi ed for a moment, pourina forth their tribute of prai e to the great creation. It means the quiet hade of ome w i-le-branch ing tree ·when the sun encl dow n i ts fiercest rays, t h e cool of t h e fore t w i t h here a n d there a gli n t of brightne darting down through the thick, dark branche to the pine ca rpet beneath . gai n-it mean the Iona brio-ht afternoon , while the un ret reats fa1iher and father toward it evening goal, until at la t the day encl in a udden glory of un et color, bathing the w hole earth i n it radiance. There i s ornething i n the twilight that brings peace, a fit fu l peace, broken b) old longing and the remem brance of other summer day and other twil ight that vani shed j ust as silently and j ust a qu ickly, merged into the my tery o f the night. ho i s there who ha not felt something o f all thi , the glory of a ummer· day, the maj esty of a sum mer·s n ight , cal l i ng up the old, old wonderment as to what i t all mean . The ceaseless st ruggle to do and to be , the overwhelming reali zation of man ·s puny strength as compared w ith the mighty force of Natur e ? ho can combat this insistent questioning, a he w atche the la t beams of the etting sun dying i nto purple and gold l ined darkne s in the we t, and feels the silent forces of n ight twining her du ky fingers closely and still more closely about him ? It i s hard to believe that i n a few hours morning w ith all her beauty and fragrance, will return, bringing w ith her a t roop of fl itting bees and butterflies. I wonder i f we ever stop to think that the violet, the daisy, the willow, the pine, al l· these children of Nature are continually striving to get nearer Heaven . I t may be in but a tiny way ; the violet may nod its purple petals but a few inche above its grassy bank, while the pine may stretch up and up till its green branche wave hundreds of feet above in the clear unlight. Yet, after all , both are fulfill ing their parts in l i fe's strugale. If the violet were borne high up among the pine branches, earth would h ave lo t ju t that much of sweetness and beauty , and the pine, were it lying by the violet on the bank, would have become but a stum'bl ing block in the passer's way, t ri pped of all glory and dignity.
