ille uiew nf tqe �eannu d the ea on with rather poor pro pect of repeating the record tate Champion . Thi being the fir t year o f the new Fre hman rn l in 1 t wa nee ary to pick nearly the ent i re team from left-over material. How· er, the new co::i h , Edward Roundy, made the be t of it and howed h i abil ity to ri e to the occa ion by wh i pping the team into hape for the fir t garn with ew Hamp h i re tate. In thi game the eleven made rather. a poor h wincr, ret i ring on the hort end of a 27-0 score, and due to minor ca ualtie u·tai ned at Durham, 1 t a one- ided affair with Brown at Pro i­ dence R. I . T h next cram wa played on Colby oil again t Trinity College. The team how the re-ul t o f mu h hard training and Roundy' effort were becran t reward d '"'ith a win, the core being I -3. The feature o f th day \ya- a fake drop kick and run for touchd wn by Capt . oule, it being the greatest gain made on uch a play in Colle e football for the year. The n x t " eek we entered the tate erie race by de feating Bo <loin in \ -aterville much to the di appointment and urpri e o f the dope ter . In thi game Colby hov;ed much aggre . ivene in br aking up the forward pa , and al o in rec verincr fumbles. !though the vi itor tarted off with a ru h and gained much ground the fir t of the game, they were unable to folio"' up thei r advantage. The Blue and Gray played head up football and emerged with a i ctory t11e core being 9-0. By thi time all the loyal fan had recovered their pmt and everybody wa. looking ahead to a repetition of la t year. There wa not the lightest diffi­ culty experienced in elling t i cket for the pecial t rain to Orono. Thing were urely l ok ing much brighter and the belief that Colby woulCl come th rough with tate honor wa mani fe. ted in the large attendance at th Maine game. However, the . aying that pride goeth be fore a fall ,,.a never more t ruly xempl i fied than in thi. gam again t our old ri al . The be t we could b w wa none too g od and althoucrb every man played him el f out it v;a plain to he een that we v\·ere no match for the heavy Maine out fit. A a re ult, we lo t 1 2-0. The la t game of the ea on wa pla) ed again t Bate on Armi tice Day. Colby had not be n de feated by thi in t itut ion for eighteen year and thi record eemed to be fa t becoming a t radition. However, everybody, including Bate , wa i n for a big urprise. Many indeed were the conj ecture as to the cau e o f our poor showing in Levvi ton. ome aid over-confidence while other aid over-training, but the tru th seemed to be that the team lacked the punch and figh t which had characteri zed it throughout the ea on . By much hard fighting and kill in u e of the forward pass Bate won the game i 3-o. E en though the ea. on wa far from being a brilliant ucces , much prai e and cred it was due Coach Roundy for the manner in wh i ch he conducted the B lue and Gray p ration . Much material wa unveiled in the Fre hman dele­ cration, wh i ch wa under the upervi ion of Trainer Edwards, and through u e o f thi Colby hould be able to put a winning team on the map in the near future. _

J\rt---�ore or 1.Ge1rn " ' 26 " ·ts The word A rt ha become a common word and the phra e, '·in the tntere thor­ a B enient. con ay might I or common, more y till o f Art," ha become ough inve t igati on of the late � w ? rk _ o f . oah \\ eb ter I find ,that ,�t 1 . defined 1 he uu �­ as the second per on, pre ent md1cat1ve mgular of the verb to De. come of further digging i , that rti t i defined a a learned man . I f I w eren t a glutton for pun i hrnent I would . top right here : . but while eeking the true rt and rt1 t my mo t cu nou eye ob erve the word meaning o f the word ow, rtiste · and an rti te i one vvho e work i con i dered a " fine art. " o far � s the u age o f the word goe there i c mparati vely no difference ; and if you have an rti t whom you wi h to change to an _rti te you impl:y add an -e- t o him and place a l ittle j igger over it. It i intere tmg to can the h1 tory o f words, which l ike humanity ha e had to t ruggle for their exr tence, and I can th ink of no two word which have had a more bitter t ru ggle for upremacy than the two mentioned abo e. I won't trace them from beginning rn end ; for if you are interested ( you probably are not ) you can do your own tracing. In the beginning, however, rtiste wa ugge tive o f someth ing plendid, gorgeou , profound, unique-a t rue ari tocrat . . rti t. on the other hand, a plebian, trove o the e two battled to gain the eat of glory upon which ye noble Art i te sate. rti te defending, rti t attacking unti l and struggled on down through hi tory finally, i n o u r modern day, t h e commoner de feated t h e a r i tocrat ; and rti s t i s th e more frequently mentioned in ou r newspaper , magazine a n d advertisements. Neither are to be found in the Farmer's A l manac. But, I fear I h ave d r i fted from my ubj ect of rt , w h i c h really i the r e ult o f work a pertaining to a n Artist. The number o f arti t at the pre ent time being greater than at any p reviou period most certainly shows that A rt has progressed and is still advancing ; i f the truth b e known , Art i s yet i n i t s i n fancy-but uch a prodigiou infant ! The most recent developments in the behal f of Art have been con tributed by the stage and creen ; and I say whatever ha. been contributed ha proved a development because the stage and screen have inj ected into their audiences, placed before them, advertised to them and thrust upon them continual flurries o f A rt , until women dream o f it, men thir t for it, babie cry for i t and children ask dad about i t because he knows. Thu the movie and the tage have paved the way for a general upheaval of Art. There wa a time when the mayor and selectmen o f a town would prohibit the hov. i ng o f a movie or the performance o f a play by pl acing upon it the brand o f immoral ity. M ayors, selectmen and censors went hand in hand committing thei r duty and wrecking havoc on costly theatrical productions by cutting from them the very core o f success, namely : reality and vividness. But producers who at this time were goino- from hand to mouth noted that the dear publi c had a taste for this so-called i mmorality. They put their head together and then came out and told the world that im­ morali ty only became such th rough the intentions o f the producer and that i f the producer's intent was to lend an evil effect o r create an u n avory taste, then

1 94


the sooner the producer and his how were abolished the better. But, they claimed, i t was not the intention of the producers to put a dark brov,,· n taste in the mouth o f their audience. If they could depict l i fe as i t i , be real , be vivid, perhaps be sugge t ive and accomplish all this i n a manner so represented that they did not tear down the "'·all of convention-that was A RT . n intelligent audience, they said, cou l d vie"· a situation of l i fe as i t i , could look upon the body beauti ful and refrain f rom scaling the wall. In short, they ,, ent on to say that a n intelligent audience is an artistic audience. The re ult was that the super-intelligent and the intell igent j oined forces \ ; ith the producers i n the promotion o f rt. They acclaimed rt so loudly and so force full) that the le s intelligent , the till l ess intell igent and the not intelli­ gent at all rein forced the movement ; w i t h the result that the growing propensit y for rt ha become so great that E skimoe are t rying to kill ' hales "' ith safety p in . I read recent! where a Penn ylvania coal miner remon trated w i t h his young son for hi method o f eating. " B y God, you scum o f the earth," h e yelled at h i m , " You'll eat that frank fort w·ith a more dexterous and artistic execution if I have to chuck it down yuh ! " Does not this show that Art i s m o r e and m o r e coming to be a ccepted . Z iegfeld is one of the greatest boo ter and fore� o t exponents of Art. H e is a master o f technique and o f arti tic pre entatlon. H e i� the guiding ligh t o f in tell ectual beauty. H e is the creator of the poetry o f motion . H i s a ccompl ishment o f the glorification o f t h e merican gi rl i n a l l h e r radiant a n d ublime beauty, and her divine nudity, w ithout encroaching on the dignity o f convention, ha been an achievement unprecedented i n the annals o f A r t . Ziegfeld production always plays to a capacity h o u e a n d to a n audience that ba k i n the ecstasy o f its perception of the flicking mu cles abo e the footl ights, and i t realization that it i appreciation o f Art that prompts it to be present. This mo ement to' ard the staging and screening o f that which is artistic h a been a great thing for humanity if i t ha done nothing el e than offer a retreat for tired busine s men, thu k eeping their minds clear and free and e nabling them to make more money. It has caused the ·wive of the tired busi­ n e s men to seek youth and beauty and has given them the enj oyment o f spend­ ing the money their husban d make.

light , draw y breeze ru tied the tree-top along It v a a night in Jun . the river bank. From behind a il ry cloud the moon peeped, beckoning, urging, entrancing. it crept clo er and cl er, hi hand trembled i n anticipation o f the com ing th rill. he did not move, nor peak, he did not i nvite nor repul e, she eemed wait ing, alma t in a glori u dream . He moved cl er to her and hi hand wa creepi ng about !ler waist. S tl11 she remained ilent motion le s. Hi lip qui ·ered with expectation ; h i heart pounded violently. On econd moreuddenly h dr w back, leaped to hi feet and fled from the spot. 'Ah done promi ed Pah on J one 'at h wouldn' teal no MO' chi cken , an' so far h ain't gone ver mah th'ee a week," he aid, a he tucked the prize pullet into h i coat. B . '25 ·

March 2nd. Dere Paw : i bin to M r. Colby' coll ege nere onter a munth now an' i ain't seen Mr. Colby yet. i think he' d d, Paw, an' t hey ain't tellin' no one, l ike w e done wen we buried that r venuer und r the wood p i le la ' winter becau e evry time i ast anyone ' Have you een Mr. Colby ?" they either ay '"go bury it" or they j est laf , not like they een anything funny in it, but j e t to be perlite ; j est like we done wen the officer · come that t ime. I rememb red how they cetched u by ayin' ' ' There' a nigger in the wood-pile, ure,'' and Dave Slocum couldn't keep h i mouth het an' ays "He ain't a 111gger, he' as white as I be," o i tries that on 'em , Paw, but yer don't cetch em l ike that, down here. It's what a eddi­ cation does fur yer. They j est say , 'you tell 'em," an i donnu who to tell an' anyway i been too busy. Fust thing i done wa to meet Mr. Prexy. H e's the man what hollers loudest wen no one can't hear h i m . He l ives in a real nice office an' a lady frien' keep watch o' the door an' only lets in them a ha got a right o f way. \tVell, i j est . ay , " I 'm Gwinny from up the ridge ' and hows her my twenty­ two an' she tarts playin' a l i ttle perano she's gut an' says, " ever min' me," so i goes in. M r. Prexy ain't o bad, Paw, e f h e does "vear h i hat wrong way to on his head. I think he'd be a help to us in foolin' revenuer . He stamp aroun' an' whistles an' ing an' then he turns on you quick an' yell a t yer. It's real fun ter watch him but a fter he done i t four or five times i asts him "is that all the trick you know ?" an' you otter een h im. I t wasn't ! Anyhow, he sez, "go ahead to any cla es you want, they won't hurt you none," an' so i started in at college.

I li e at M is' Fas es hall for vvemin but it's gut fi re escapes and a real bath room, Paw, an' i have fun. I ez rite a\�·ay i ain't gain' ter be imperl ite about th' hot water, so the fi r t v.·eek i keeps watch so' vvhen i take my bath i ain't stoppin' no one else. I dunno, Paw, I gues it's a blind or omepun, anyway i ain t gain' ter git fooled, there. i ain't gain' ter be th' first one to use 'em an' i'm still keepin ' watch . It' a big college, Paw, an' i ain't been all over it yet but i ain't missin' much . Th' fust cla s i goe to is �e one where they learn to rite n u v. spapers, Pa'."' · A man they calls 'Bert" wen he ain't l ookin ' , an' ' ' Doctor' wen he is runs it. B u t i know how that is we u -ter call the re enuers " Officer" wen they cou l d here us a n ' almost anythin e l s e w e n they couldn't. \i\ieI, h e calls on a guy, Pav. , an' sez " read your art icle ' an' as -oon a the fella reads a few words Bert alway sez " \t\ h at yer rite that fer, yer don't m ean that, do you ?" an' this Larinsky-, he' good natured an' h e grin an' sez Yessir" an' then h e reads another fevv w ords an' Bert j umps up j e t like our ban tum rooster an' sez, hat yer rite that fer, you don' t mean that do you ?" an' h e sez ter one o' the girls " whata) a think o' that ?" an' he e z " it ain't sub tantiated by no authent i c periodical , " a n ' then he ez t e r everyone a l l at once, " D j a h e r e that, v hattaya spose she meant ?" H e don't eem to no nothing, Paw, an' h e wan t believe nobody. N o matter \\·hat ) er say t o that man he get na ty about it. '·

So then h e t urns to me, Paw, an' h e says, "I pose you've run a newspaper," an' everyone roars but i tells him the truth, Paw, an' i ez, " Yes, i h ev, i run one outer town oncet," an' then they all l a fft l ouder, an' Bert let me alone a ft er that. fter class a feller named Edmunds ez ter m e , " You ain't the dumbest person in that room ' an' I that i 'd be nice to him an' i sez, " wel, mebbe you ain't either i wouldn't '"' o rry none, ' an' h e - v ell out h i che t an sez, " O , I ain't nobody's fool." an i ez, ' \t\ el, that ain't my fault an' i got all i ken do lookin' a fter mysel f but p raps omebody'll t ak e ) er e f yer put i t u p to 'em rite." i felt kinda sorry fer him, Paw, h e d been so honest w ith me. An' then i goes ter chapel . all the girls ets up back an' all the teachers ets down front l ike they w a mad on each oth er. they all sing an' then M r . Prexy h e h ol lers ter h eaven a n ' then they all ings again. i wuz j est gonna git out wen i found a whole lot o ' chewin' gum under ther settee. i tried 'em all , Paw, but i kep ther Spearmint. i t wan't a fresh as ome o' the others but it was bigger an' i 'm all outa T iger Fine Cut, Paw , an' Mr . P rexy don't let no girl smoke, here, as i t isn't bein' a lady, so i ge i gotta chev\ this till you send m e the fine c u t . An' i ' � i sh t y o u ' d e n d the k u n k oil , to P a w , i gotta a t o u c h o' rumatism . There' a pond right he re'n the front yard o ' the coll ege an' th' other mornin' i seen a teacher they call Dutchy wadin' through it. I didn't know h e spoke engl i ch o i didn't holler to him . i j est swim out to him an' makes motion l ik e h e better ·wait there fer the boat but he git u p on the shore an' keeps pretty d ry on the way over. \\ en we gut ter the build i ng h e sez, "Vel , i must telegraph my family, ' rri ed safely.' " The) ain't even gut a ferry, i found out a fterward, on that l ake, Paw. !

\i\ el, this i all the paper they give us in this cl ass, an' ever) one's gain' now o i ge s i'll fal l e r a long. They all gi e there letters ter Mi Dunn to mail but ain't takin' no chances. She looks honest but so does Dave Slocum an' i ain't

Wel, they all danced and ang song an' drank punch an' laft perlite ter each other till they seen me standin' by the door an' then all the girls ]aft and la ft, only not o perl ite, until it hurt em . One o' the boy ¡ whats a cook but he plays the banjo for 'em, to, he come up ter me an' he sez, '' Say, how'd you git here, ho"' 'd you git outta the comi c section ?" an' i sez, "What's that ?" an' he sez, "Ain't you never seen a funny paper ?

The \i\Thite Mule otta git you ," an' i sez, "no, fr don't git me but it got my Grampa, he sees pink snakes all the time now. ' An' he ez, " S ay you don 't know the white mule wen you see it," an' i sez, "don't i ?" an' puts my han in my coat pocket cause i new i was among friends a11' i showed him did i no the white mule wen i seen it an' they all knowed it, too, an' maybe i wasn 't popular at fi rst but i had every boy in the hall on my side after that, Paw, an' say ain't there no way you kin git a barel of i t down here be fore commencement t ime ? A fter the music started up again at the party \.Ve was al l happy an' gay.
