Editorial S often as the completed cycle of the year brings around the time when the college annual appears, its every page mirroring the college life, so there is found introducing its contents the customary editorial, metaphorically referring to the tiny ivy plant, the stray branch, or the tender pluckling. In several ways the present Junior Class has made radical changes. In past years necticut

ts

the entire work of preparing the annual has devolved upon the chief editors; this year each of the associate editors has contributed his share to the present volume. Then, too, this year's Ivv has a broader purpose to fulfill, as the prosperous condition of every branch of college athletics and the prospect of a technical school in Hartford marks a new era in the history of the college. Therefore, the present volume has been made of special interest to our alumni, who have the true loyal spirit to their alma mater, and the literary department bas been largely contributed to by them. So we wi.ll now leave the Iv Y of the Class of '97, a volume dedicated to our grand old Bishop, beloved far beyond where our annual will ever reach, and containing within its pages the faithful representation of every member of a faculty of whom we may be justly proud, to the impartial criticism of the college world.

The editors wish to thank most heartily all who have assisted them in the production of this book by literary or artistic contributions.

Trinity College ID HE charter of Washington College was granted in 1823 by the General Assembly col1!!> of the State of Connecticut : and by vote of the Trustees, in consequence of the liberal gifts of the citizens of Hartford, the College was located in that city. In 1845, on the petition of the Alumni and the Corporation, the name of the College was changed to Trinity College. This college has no preparatory department or professional schools for graduates, but its purpose is to afford the opportunity for obtaining a liberal education- that is, an education conducted without reference to any future particular profession, calling, or special pursuit on the part of the student. The requirements for admission and the course of instruction for degrees in the Arts have always been practically the same as in the other New England Colleges.

Expenses The amount of the Treasurer's bill each year is as follows : Tuition, Room-rent for each person, from 100.00 to Incidentals, Heat,

100.00 35.00 30.00

12.50

Total from 242.00 to $177.50 There are besides, fees for the use of the Chemical and Physical Laboratories. Board is furnished in the College at $4.50 per week. Students may obtain board at private houses in the neighborhood, at rates greater or less, as they may desire. To this must be added laundry charges, together with the expense of books, furniture, clothing, travel, and society fees, which vary according to the tastes and habits of the student, and of which no estimate can be given.

Scholarships The amount of the Treasurer's bills can be considerably reduced to holders of scholarships. The income of these scholarships, which are of different values, is placed to the credit of students with limited means, and serves to meet the charges for tuition and room-rent in whole or in part. For holders of scholarships remitting the entire charges for tuition and room-rent, the Treasurer's bill is reduced to 42 . 50; and the necessary expenses of such students, including board and other personal items, will not exceed 250 or 300 a year. 8


Rooms and Buildings

roo.oo

The new buildings were commenced in 1875· They are thoroughly drained, well ventilated, and unsurpassed for convenience and comfort. In rSSr the Northam gateway was begun, and the western side of the great quadrangle is now completed. Easy access from the city is secured by means of street-cars running to the College grounds. An excellent athletic ground is provided for balJ playing aud other out-door sports; there are also several tennis courts, and an excellent gymnasium. Most of the rooms are arranged so as to provide for t\m students rooming together, a common study, and separate bedrooms. All the rooms and hall-ways are heated by steam, and yentilation is secured by open fire-places. Water is carried to every floor. The site of the building is remarkable for its healthfulness.

The Gymnasium and Alumni Hall The new Gymnasium and Alumni Hall (or Theatre) stands to the east of the proposed north quadrangle near the driveway from Vernon Street, and faces the west. It is substantially bnilt of brick and laid in red mortar, with a finish of Portland sandstone. The frontage is fifty-six feet, and the length one hundred and six feet. The entrance is at the level of the running track of the gymnasium ; from the vestibule ample stairways lead down to the latter and up to the theatre, which bas a seating capacity of 500. The equipment of the gymnasium embraces modern apparatus, and the latest patent appliances in this department. An instructor in athletics is in charge of the building.

This building is built of brick in early French Romanesque style, and is two stories high with a basement, having a frontage of seventy-nine feet, and a depth of sixty-five feet. The angles of the building are emphasized by large ventilating turrets, which not only serve a practical purpose, but add greatly to the breadth of the wall-mass. T he main object in constructing this building has been to make ample provisions for laboratory work in chemistry and physics. The physical laboratory is equipped with a dynamo and engine, and the rooms have been arranged with special reference to making facilities for practical work as complete as possible. The equipment in the chemical laboratory is such as is required for good work in qualitative and quantitative analysis and assaying.

Catalogues Catalogues and Examination Papers may be had on application to the Secretary of the Faculty. For Scholarships and general information, application should be made to the President.

History c !STORY is

l

philosophy teaching by example. The history ;of the class of '96 is well-nigh complete. How can that record instruct, stimulate, or warn.

The acts of any body of men, in fact, the whole progress of the human race, are the result of compromise. There are two extreme parties, and another hovering between them. None is strong enough to dictate a policy, but the most numerous party has the greatest influence on resulting action. A body in motion may have been acted upon by any number of forces, yet, while we cannot determine the weaker factors from the resultant, we can be sure of the general direction of the stronger. Again the character of a chord in music may be totally changed by altering one note. So the policy of a class may be swayed by a single personality, though the particular deeds of an individual are merged and disappear in those of his fellows. In the class of '96 , there are doubtless many who would, if their opinions had prevailed, have made the class record worse. There are, perhaps, a few who would fain have improved it ; yet the prevailing trend of thought and character may be gathered from the memories of four years. What, then, must the impartial historian set down as the prominent trait in that detachment of recruits so soon to be mustered into the service of life? 路with dim and tearful eyes he writes - " Remorseless Iconoclasm." N路o cherished tradition has been safe; there is no time-honored custom they have not assailed. If anything old, sentimental, that distinguishes the college from the world, or Trinity from other institutions, survive J une, r8g6 , it will be because it is founded on rock and built of iron. The historian may not linger over the path strewn with shattered idols, for it is with slow and painful steps that he treads among the fragments, nor can be recognize what those fragments once composed, so utter has been the demolition. Here and there he descries an image, all but fallen, which may be overthrown even yet, unless the profane baud of the destroyer be stayed. But the thread will soon be severed and unravel into its component strands, which may become snarled or broken. It is not for the chronicler to peer into the future, but he may be pardoned a word of caution. Pause, I entreat you, 0 Senior, before you ruth lessly storm into the world, there to break down and trample upon cherished idols. Do not tell us that poetry is dead, that music is but the feverthrob of a diseased brain; that love and marriage are relics of barbarism ;.that the Monroe Doctrine- but the vision is too heart -rending to contemplate. -Take the ink away. 35

History 7l NOTHER

scroll of the Fates has been unrolled ; another year of hopes and aspirations has crystallized into history. But the restless procession of weeks and days never pauses ; the future jostles the present; the present fades too soon into the dim perspective of the past. In a ceaseless torrent we are borne along, relentlessly, however we may grasp at passing joys to stay our course. A few months more anrl the year is ended ; upon our shoulders falls the burden of Senioral responsibility and the mantle of Senioral dignity. Then may our Penates prosper us, and our good genius provide us in the future, as in the past, with the goodly limbs and fair proportions meet for this ''giant's robe" handed down to us from remote p redecessors! On our shoulders may it shine a becoming ornament of inward worth, not hanging in loose folds on puny dwarfs, nor- 0 tempora! 0 mores! - shamefully shrivelled to a cap and gown, to be exhibited only in chapel of a Sunday- a travesty of bygone days, sau relic of departed worth! But the procession moves on. Already the discord and strife of the work-a-day world is rising shrill upon us, drowning with its harsh clangor the mystical music of the spheres. One brave course more, and the athlete must leave the circus, to mingle with the jostling crowd. Onward, is the watchword in every mouth. A J;>rief time, and metaphysical phenomena must yield to the facts of science ; discussion of the constitution of man be lost in the problems of his nutrition ; our dreams and hopes be brought in harn1ony with the harsh realities of life. Then we ourselves must pass and give place to others. Yet the prospect is not gloomy: it is right and proper for the old to give place to the new; for us to succeed for a moment to the position which we in turn must yield to others. It becomes not one who braces himself for a final contest, to boast of past achievements. Yet in the confidence of these we may enter upon our last course, trusting that the qualities which have been approved on the campus and in the classroom, in college councils and in athletics, will not cease to shed a lustre around dear old '97¡ And so, sustained by the record of the past, we may "go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart."

History are we, what have we been, and whither are we tending? This is a question that every man or body of men should ask, and I think that it will be universally agreed that the three divisions of the question can, in any particular case, be answered but in one way. The present is the child of the past, the future is the offspring of the present. "As the twig is bent, the tree inclines," is an old saying, but a true one. It is our present purpose to answer this question with reference to the class of '98. A number of young men, born in widely separated towns and even hemispheres, under varying circumstances and at different times, were on a certain clay of September, 189-l, brought by the kindness of Fate beneath the fostering care of Trinity College. They were of such various degrees of age, condition, color, stature, and intelligence, that no distinctive appellation could be found for them save the numerals that appear at the beginning of this article. If they had only reached these classic halls a year sooner, the scribe would not be compelled to waste any extra stationery on them, but because they had procrastinated their birth, studies, or resolution to come to College, it has become necessary to write a summary, at least, of their sayings and doings. I know that you will expect to see a glowing account of '98's superiority mentally and morally, and of her physical prowess, as displayed in athletic sports and in scraps, but for this you will look in vain. The philosophical historian does not stain his pages blood-red with deeds of war. He records only motives and tendencies. Ninety-eight is, then, a class that waits. It would, however, be ungenerous to say that seeming inactivity is always due to irresolution. General Jackson's advice, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead," is well worth following, but delay in ascertaining the correctness of a decision is always dangerous and sometimes fatal. The world is generous to mistakes made through impetuosity, but dilly-dallying is universally condemned. A class in its Snphomore year has more of its history to make than has already been recorded, but by playing a waiting game, it is likely to fail to take advantage of critical junctures. There are two ways of waiting. One may wait like Pompey, until procrastination has pilfered all the glorious opportunities that were once his; or he may wait like Napoleon, who at length, with one move of his pawns, checkmates all the long and deeply-plotted schemes of the enemy. Members of '98, what sort of waiting is yours? L:U"HAT

History uAnd the green grass growing all around, all around."

f i nE opportunity bas come for a few words to the present freshman class.

-1

Perhaps it bad been better if they could have been spoken earlier, for '99 bas now almost

reached the goal when her first year at Trinity will be in the dim past. In previous years according to former custom each class historian bas extolled the virtues and prestige of his class, and under the fostering care of a Junior board of the Annual, the latest addition to the college world, like a young rooster, has always crowed the loudest. A one-sided self-glorification of this kind is of little profit, unless defects stand side by side with virtues. Ninety-nine entered Trinity under peculiar circumstances. An old custom which in a stern but wholesome way turned out many ideal college men had been relegated to the past. The individuals of the freshman class have made many mistakes, to speak lightly, and acted sometimes like th.e traditional freshman of the milk can and the blue china dog. But as a class they have done all that could be expected of them. It is not wisdom to refrain from giving credit to whom credit is due, aud on the whole they may be spoken of as a promising class. But recollect, class of '99, you are still freshmen, and the working out of your college course is all before you. Freshman year, with its bright anticipations, its ideals, is not an unpleasant recollection for you to look back upon when you are upper classmen. Indeed, if the thoughts of many a senior could be analyzed as he stepped from the graduation platform, diploma in hand, they might well be, the thought coming to him of a happy college iife well spent, "I wish I ,,ere a freshman." Recollecting your position and privileges, therefore, until sophomore year dawns upon you, make a reconl which will be full of credit to yourselves and your alma mater.

Reminiscences of the Old College '5l to '55 from 'sr to 'ss. I love to think of those good old college days, and what a host of pleasant recollections they bring to my memory, not perhaps so much in the classics and mathematics, but more particularly as to the innocent pastimes resorted to by the boys of those days to break up the monotony of college life. Who of the members that are now left cannot picture in his mind the colleges as they then looked and the dear old campus on Trinity Street upon which they fronted? And this recalls, as it will no doubt, to others, those two heavy weights who entered the institution about that time without being obliged to pass the tedious examinations ordinarily imposed upon applicants. These sturdy fellows 'yere meditating as to their future on the campus some hours after the sun bad set, when some of the boys spied them, and began their eloquence and muscular persuasion to induce them to enter that educational institution. They were given quarters on the fourth floor, one in front and the other in the rear. These lusty chaps said not a word, but with dignified countenances and jaws working like a foot-ball player's of the present day on a wad of gum, took in all the preparations which were being made for their comfort and education. As I recall them now, I doubt if a more muscular pair ever entered any college. And <vhen they were left in their quarters for the night, the windows being open, they soon thrust their heads out, one from the east and the other from the west end of Jarvis Hall. Some hours later the inmates of the college were awakened from their blissful slumbers by the sonorous tones of the new comers. What, I wonder, were the first impressions of the r n RINITY

faculty. Perhaps that they were still rusticating at some farm-house. But no, that could not be, they were at Trinity ; surely it must be some new member of the class of '54; but why that echo, if echo it be, from the east, and certainly the sound comes from above, not below. A hasty investigation soon enlightens them. Those new comers were a pair of oxen some drunken farmer bad left to feed on our campus. Then, too, I recall that insignificant looking bundle of rope yarn, which, when placed on the stairs in Jarvis Hall and touched off shook old Trinity from end to end. Nobody knew who did it (?) but many shook in their shoes long after the report died away for fear of being in another explosion which would have bad more disastrous effects on their career at Trinity. Then, too, there were those delightful germans (for we enjoyed germans in those early days as well as the boys do now). Who of my old college chums do not remember the germans at Christian Straum's on Mulberry Street? Foot-ball was in its infancy, but, if I remember correctly, the first class games were played about that time between the freshman ('55) and sophomores ('54). It was football, the sphere being urged back and forth by the foot only. There was no such thing as a touch-down, and a point was earned only when the ball landed over an opponent's fence. The " Eta Pi Society" was organized in those days, and I think we were all members of that (eat a pie). The burning of the conic sections was a feature of college entertainments. Many other incidents occur to me, but time and space will not permit o.at

me to lengthen this article. GEo. CvPRIAN JARVIs,

rn HIS sketch of the college in 1830 (before the name was changed from Washington to Trinity), was drawn by John Bernard Gilpin, then an undergraduate of the class of 1831, long an honored physician and student of science in Nova Scotia, where now "senio confectus quiescit." Only Seabury and Jarvis Halls had been then built, and the site was thought of aud described as in the outskirts of the city. It was long before the park was laid out, and the ground to the east and north was partly swamp and partly occupied by very humble dwellings. The railroad track, when it was built, crossed behind the spot where the artist is supposed to stand, the station being near the foot of the present Mulberry Street. SA~IUEL HART, '66.

The Old Janitor

us he was "Jim." The name implied, however, no disrespect, or undue familiarity. His sk.in was coal black, indeed, and his features not altogether Caucasian, but he had a fine head, a bright eye, an intelligent glance, and a resolute, dignified way about him which repelled any disposition to take liberties beyond a certain well-defined point. In fact, on state occasions, we were accustomed to call him " Professor" Jim, and the situation, as he enjoyed stating it, referring to the chancellorship of the Bishop of Connecticut, was, '• John Williams is at the head of this institution .and Jim Williams at its tail." I see him now, after the lapse of over thirty years, at the bell, his back bending with rhythmic beat, the rope in one band, his watch in the other, his eye glancing quickly from the minute band towards the laggards. "Hold on, Jim! " they; "Hurry up, or you 'll get caught!" he. But he always gave good measure to the boys, though, so far as I know, he never stretched the five minutes in a manner displeasing to the rest of the Faculty. I see him again on the College walk, with his big bunch of big keys-such as were the fashion of that remote day. He was rather short, with deep chest and broad, powerful shoulders, and he had a sailor's roll. It was, in fact, rumored that he had served before the mast and was not unacquainted with buccaneering- though I could never bring myself to believe that, and in my talks with him could get no trace of it. He had a pleasant smile for everybody he met on the College walk, and for every joking salutation a ready and taking return. I see him again at Commencement. And that was a sight for sore eyes. He had been a servant in one of the old families on the Hudson River and had that indefinable, inimitable air about him, half dignity, half deference, which seems to have died out with the passing of that old relationship. How handsome ¡he was in his suit of black ! And who like him could fetch the water pitcher and handle the diploma case! Franklin, his successor, had bad a similar training, and with the advantages of white hair and years of service back of him he might have appeared as well.- The things themselves are all done just as validly now as when Jim was with us. But as grandly? Ah no! ¡ Speaking of the Hudson River life, Jim has told me that he well remembered Aaron Burr-" That little debbie," as be called him; and he described with great particularity Burr's diligence in practicing with a pistol before his duel with Hamilton and, if I remember rightly, his silent, serious behavior on his return. For Jim's master and Burr were friends and the latter was a frequent guest in the house of the former. But most of aJI I remember Jim on Class day. The "presentation to Professor Jim" was the feature of that occasion. Not, however, on account of what the presenter said. That was always of minor importance. Jim's reply was the thing that everybody

95


looked for. As that supreme moment drew near there was a hush and a craning of heads and a light rustle of gowns, which sufficiently betokened the state of public opinion. Ours was Jim's last great effort: "Young gentlemen," he said, "here you've been for four years under the instruction of this great and learned and fine Faculty. And we've always been good friends. What you've knowed I've knowed : and what I've knowed, nobody else has knowed. And here you are assembled for the last time on the shores of this canvas and under the canopy of time, and I expect you're the last class that Professor Jim 'll ever be permitted to address on this 'casion." And here his outstretched hand began to tremble an<.l. a quaver came into his voice, and there was a suspicion of a tear on his cheek. Still he proceeded to give us his customary charge concerning goodness, and closed pathetically with the customary benediction. Alas that the rumor should have been abroad that his class-day pathos was not altogether unconnected with class-day punch! But Jim is not the first orator of whom the like has been related. Possibly he may not be the last either. How old was Jim? Nobody knew. Evidently he did not know himself. He had been "over seventy" as far back as anyone could remember. He must have been well beyond eighty when he died. The college very rightly pensioned him when his "rheumatiz" became too mighty for him. But I think he looked upon it to the end as little short of sacrilege that any hand but his should touch the bell rope- and many others whose faces were not black were of much the same mind. And so, when he came to die, they set up a substantial stone at hi s grave. And from the inscription on it one may see how Jim kept on living in the hearts of Trinity Alumni of that now, alas! far away time. /

Early Sixties .;J.

days in the beginning of the sixties were passed under quite different conditions from what they were either before or since. There was an enthusiasm strong, commendable, and worthy of imitation, in the spirit that moved us all. We were loyal to the College and to the professors, and (as I now see it) to each other. College contests, societies, and other interests were dear to each of us; but there was always, in class and other elections, a friendly spirit not always shown among college men. We were fewer in number than before or since in the history of the College; we all knew each other, and, comparatively speaking, were hail fellows well met. \Ve had very little to show in the way of athletics. There would be an occasional kick of a foot-ball over the campus, but no such foot-ball games as are witnessed now; no such rules, nor any personal injury. There were occasionally attempts at base·ball in one of the fields back of the College ; it was not always possible to get up the requisite number to play a game, even among those who were induced to try; they had to be taught the rules of the ball and the bat and the field, so that there was, strictly speaking, no creditable game. There was a crew of men, not large, who used to go to the Connecticut River for an occasional pull, whether in a six-oared or eight-oared boat I do not recollect, but it was heavy and nothing like the modern shell; probably more like a cutter which one sees hanging by the side of some war vessel. It was not my good fortune to be in the sports of those days, so that I cannot give more than a general impression, without any attempt to be absolutely accurate. The question of study was uppermost, and there was a conscientiousness which showed itself, because a large proportion of ils had entered the College with the intention of a good preparation for study afterwards in some theological seminary. A manner of life prevailed suitable to one preparing for Holy Orders. and yet we had pleasant experiences which were a relief to the exertion of hard study. For example, the sense of humor, which every professor has, on several occasions was developed in all of us. I remember one Saturday morning on a beautiful bright day, when we went back of Seabury Hall about ten o'clock, we were all gathered together to investigate the mysteries of laughing gas. A reverend professor whom we all love now as we did then, brought out from the laboratory a large rubber bag filled with laughing gas and offered it to the students. There was hesitancy for a while, as there is when a patent medicine man offers his wares to a gaping crowd. No one comes forward to buy, for fear of the jibes of the multitude; when the vender has disposed of one bottle to the victim, he calls out, "Now, there's one sold. \Vho's the next?" The Professor must have said the same thing silently to himself, when one student and then another became interested enough to put the bag to his mouth. Some dozen of us went through the experience, however, and developed a show of human nature which would have been a telling feature in a traveling circus. One man stood still and made the most profound salaams to the sober-minded professors, and, amid the cheers of the students, was statuesque until he had laughed himself out. Another, a good fellow from the South, gazed at the colored boy who was Professor Jim's helper, and when we whispered in his ear , "Chase that nig," chased him up a tree ; in the endeavor to catch him, he lost spectacles on one side, hat on another, and flew around like an extended flying squirrel. He tried to get up that tree Q

very much as a man would try to swim up a wall. The nig looked down and laughed at him. But greater fun than all came when they gave the" nig" the bag, and then the Southerner fled for his life. There was as hearty a College " Hurrah" as ever came from the throats of Old Trinity men. The fun, however, was brought to au end when the meekest student that we had at that time was induced to make for one of the class-rooms. He put his fists through the glass. There had been. a few days previous to this, a discreditable cleaning out of that class-room as a prank upon one of the professors. Everything had been replaced, windows re-glazed, etc., but the bleerling wrists and fists of the poor innocent called for remedial treatm ent, and we were glad enough to find that the professors did not take the wounded lamb for a chief conspirator. In spite of our honest friendship for one another generally, there were evidences of political feeling between some of the students from the North and the South. Those were the days of recruiting regiments for the civil war. The Northern students in their proportion disappeared from the College, some few as privates, many others as officers, lieutenants, and captains. Students from the South vanished; some because they could command no more money for their education; others avowedly to enter the ranks either as privates or officers. This left us with diminished numbers, and my recollection is that there were some forty-two or forty-three only on the list of students. In such disintegrating days it is no wonder that athletics and sports of different kinds did not flourish. when the best fellows had gone away for battle. The old buildings are gone now- Jarvis. Seabury, and Brownell Halls. To our old-fashioned graduates it was a grief; some declared that they never could get over the change. I do not know how many possess photos of the old Halls. They would always be valuable t o those who recall the old scenes, and as historical illustrations. For they had their proportion of glory and association, which Trinity men should cherish. The early days of an institution or the experiences of days of feebleness are not to be despised. T. Mc K. BROWN, '6-J..

As one born out of his due time Oh friend. you came to this dull age, Missing your lawful heritage Of music, beauty, color, rhyme. To bleak New England's barren shore You came, an artist out of place, Where niggard nature grants but space, Too poor and cold to grant us more. You needed background for your thought, And warmth, and depth, and joy in life, But in our sordid social strife You missed the vital breath you sought. Your richly dowered human heart Starved on our juiceless mental food, And wandered in blank ~olitude, And lived its inner life apart. Homesick of soul, your nature pined For sunny Florence, or for Rome, And sought, but found no native home Among your kin but not your kind. The brilliant cousin of your blood, The Puritan, whose steel-blue eyes Looked into yours with vague surmise, Loved you, but never understood. And so her love was but a pain, And only added to your need ; Or, was it love which could not read A nature on a different plane? For love could look behind the screen And penetrate with subtle sense, The fine-wove veil of reticence Which screened you from your fellow-men. I cannot grieve that you are gone, Oh precious soul and kindly heart, Believing you are less apart Than when on earth, and less alone. CHARLES FREDERICK ] OHNSON.

Evening

Peace on the hills dimly fading Into the land of dreams, Not a sound on the dusty road-way, Lying still in the moon's first beams, The cricket has ceased its chirrup, And the wind is at rest in the pines, From its passionate day-long sobbing And grief for the sea's confines.

And a single star, half-blended With the haze of the summer night, Restlessly flares and glimmers Through the mist that dims its light, And my heart in my breast is throbbing With pain, as of being alone, And my doubting soul is troubled 路with unrest that is all mine own.

GEoKGE \VILLIAM ELLIS,

lllustrated by rfoward Trescott Greenley, 'q4

It was early morning of a late summer's day and the gray dawn was struggling through the mist which lay heavy on the face of the sea. The tolling of the Dumpling Bell, heard as if at some long distance, rose and died mournfully at intervals as if choked in the fog, and the fishing boats clustered around the western docks loomed phantomlike, raining moisture from their sails and decks. The brick yard, too, across the bay was swallQwed up, though one heard the whistle calling the clay men to work, while the sound boats groping their way along the shore were calling to each other with the melancholy bellowings of lost children . The bay drives far into the island from the north, like a great wedge, it closes to a narrow passage near its head , just large enough for the boats to glille through ; broadens into a wide reach of calm waters, closes and opens again into another basin, where the boats lie safe in stormy weather and hardly tug at their moorings, so well protected are they from wind and storm by hills and shallows. Here nestles the Cuddle and this also the fog had blotted out. Six houses s tand on the water's edge, all sober as if with spiri ts long resigned to storms and buffetings ; all ramshackle in brown and mustard tints, some rising straight up, others wilh overhanging platforms supported by tiles which the water laps at high tides, where the men smoke their pipes at night and dry their lines and small nets by day. Behind these, three others nestling close to the fall of the bare brown hill. Such is the Cuddle. Small, insignificant, as it is, it has its history of odds and ends. In the faces of Haff Stetson and his wife, glimmers a trace of its joy. Something of its patient 102

hope looks out from the Captain's eyes. and a sunken grave behind the church could whisper something of its sorrows. For the last few hours the Cuqdle had fallen in sleep. Lost in the fog, it had given no signs of life, but now it awoke, aroused by the crowing of the cocks Smoke began to mingle with the fog from half a dozen chimneys. Monk Handy's girl opened the door of her father's house and went down to the spring with her pail, and Tom Clifford's wife disappeared around the corner of her husband's dwelling to investigate 'the rumor of another addition to Ben Lawton's ever路growing family. For the last few minutes there had arisen from the platform of the Jenkins' house the sound of splashing waters where Jere Jenkins was making his morning toilet. barefooted with blue shirt tucked into his faded trousers. Just now, Jere was encompassing his bulky figure into its smallest compass, having caught a glimpse of Bess Handy and her water pail just in time to escape observation, for in these days Jere was marching through life with light heart and knew not fate . Something of it he knew later, in its own good time. Jere had gone back to his toilet and \vas drying his face on the sleeve of his coat, \Then a bolt clicked and amid the creaking of the door a voice called out, "Morning, Jere." It was the Captain, just arisen and his heau crowned with a red night cap, stuck out of the door as if taking inventory of the signs of the weather. It was an odd weather-beaten face, so insignificant and elfin-like at first sight that you were tempted to smile, but when you met the gaze of the eyes, the smile died. Jere stopped short and looked around him with a grin. ":Mornin'," said he. and after a pause, "Goin' ter d'ar, Cap?" The Captain squinted meditatively toward the sound with the air of balancing probabilities and drawled out slowly," Wall, neow, guess so, nigh an hour or so ." Jere, who had began to pour the contents of his basin slowly out on the low reach of sand below, suddenly straightened up, " Hearn the news, Cap?" he said. The Captain grinned. "Another baby!" he ventured, nodding toward the next house but one, inquiringly, but Jere, who meant to say no, overwhelmed by this new idea did not answer, aud the Captain with a low chuckle drew in his head and shut the door and was then lost to view. The Captain's room looks out upon the world with three eyes. Two on the sides see the rise and fall of the land to the west. slopes clotted with small cottages, and winding paths, and now stealing over the hills, now lost in the hollows, the heavy yellow of the dusty road as it turns hither and thither seeking its way. And these eyes in the twilight. as they catch the sun, blaze with a touch of red flame as if in anger over the day's happenings. The other eye looks out down the harbor. In clear days it sees the Janel swinging far out to the harbor's mouths in hills and rises; it counts the boats as they come in and muses on the red roof of the brick yard, the shallows of placid waters and the low stretch of the meadows. Houses loom here and there, and far out beyond the waters of the sound it sees the outline of the opposite shore penciled like the edge of a dark cloud against the horizon. At night it catches the glimmer of the Dumpling Light, and the Captain, who loves to sit in his chair before it, sees the glimmer of that light, I think, many times. The Captain has grown somewhat old of late, his shoulders are beginning to stoop under the burden of years. and there is a suspicious creak in his voice when he raises it. He is something of a dreamer still, l'm afraid, and takes delight in calling up all the past he can, in order to muse up:m it, and he likes tJ ask what conclusion can be 103



drawn from this and what from that, and he has a way of saying oftentimes, •·Ain't l ivin' a queer thing anyhow?'' This living he loves to puzzle over like a boy over a tale of adventures, for he says there is always something new unfolding itself when you "ain't calculatin' on nothin'." ·when you get philosophizing on your account and h ave left him hull down in the distance, he thumps the ashes out of his pipe emphatically and begins to look very \\·ise and says, "Wall, neow, if that 'bacca ain't burned out! Got some 'bacca to lend about you?" Such is his way. He is very fond of women and children. Such a sweep of his battered hat, such a smile when they speak to him, that the image of it is with you like a pleasant thought throughout the day, and you catch yourself smiling unawares now and then. A nd this man, so gentle in his ways. so born for the lavishing of love and tenderness, has never married. He has told me that the thought of home and of children has been ever with him throL<gh life like the shining of a great hope, that it has been almost the breath of life itself, his yearning and desire, and yet somehow it has never come, and he is old and beginning to lose hope. If you stand upon the high ground back of the Cuddle and look out to the west, you see the Dumpling Isles. Gray and bleak in winter, green with verdure in the summer, they form a natural breakwater to the curve of the land where the steamboat pier steals out. Seen in the calm summer days they smile calmly, but when the wind rises anu drives the sea high, and the spray freezes as it falls, they threaten. On the out island stands the Dumpling Light, and Silas Dagot, own brother of Dagot of the farm, is keeper of the light and the Captain's friend. He is old and grizzled, queer, and very deaf, but he has his good points. He is a Seventh-Day Baptist. He was once a Methodist, but his wife brought him around, and he is very strong in that faith nowadays. He is also an artist; what pictures of ships on storm-tossed waters, what hills and cliffs without perspective, grace the lighthouse walls! Inaccurate and crude, they yet bespeak a l<lve of nature, an artlessness and simplicity of character which feels but cannot rightly express itself. Here comes the Captain many times, at all hours, at all seasons, when the spirit moves and the weather does not forbid, but more particularly in the hush of the long summer evenings when nature is so still that one can hear from far off the dip of the oars and the splash of the water against the bow. When forced to stay within the shelter of his home by storm or cold, the Captain smokes his pipe before the harbor window and watches the glimmer of the light where Dagot keeps his watch and Dagot's wife sleeps peacefully. Sometimes when he pulls out and out beyond the harbor's mouth, he sees Dagot kicking his heels against the island wall and waves his oar, and Dagot, who has a way of losing himself far out beyond the clouds, like an old cynic to whom the world is naught, generally takes no notice. Then he calls. Dagot has no thought of him and continues to kick his heels unmindfully. The Captain takes his oars and pulls to land and stands beside him; and the conversation is generally the same. "1\.h, Cap'n," says Dagot. "Ah, Sile," says the Captain, as he grips hands, "How be ye?" "\Vall," says Silas with a very thoughtful air, "Wall, jist about the same as us'al, I guess. ' Vill ye step in, the mother'll be glad ter see ye," and they go in. If the Captain comes about five, he stays to tea; if he has not appeared, Dagot's wife looks out of the door and, shading her eyes with her hand, peers down to tbe harbor point. When the Captain comes in \Yith his hat in hand, he courtesies and asks, " Been

ros


feelin' purty smart lately?" Then she smiles: "Purty well, Captain, purty well, will ye be seated in the us'al place?" And draws back the chair at the head of the table. Then, as they fall to, the conversation rises. "Ah, Captain, just a little more tea to soften the toast crust." " What does Mrs. Dagot hear from her sister down Cape Cod way?" " Is it true that Sam Gillette is gone to live with his father-in-law over to Noank," and all the odds and ends of a thousand commonplaces. Then when the supper is done, the dishes washed, and the old cloth laid, she takes her sewing, the Captain and Dagot cram tobacco into their pipes and the smoke rises. There they sit, sometimes in silence, that blissful silence of comfort and ease found in the presence of those we Jove. Sometimes they talk of the day 's doings, of this person and of that , of all the odds and enus without number, citing examples, drawing limitations, until the evening falls with silent shallows, and Dagot rises to tend his lamps. In the winter the Captain often lends Dagot a hand and stays over night in the spare room. So year after year has their friendship lasted, never failing, never broken, as if they realized in themselves that dream of human progress and desire, the eternal brotherhood of man. The sun was well up in the heavens and the land lay clear and sharp in the warm sunlight as the Captain trudged down the meadow road that morning. The trees were traced in sharp lines against the sky, and one saw distant things near at hand as through a telescope. Even the white houses of the Connecticut shore seven miles away glittered in the flood of light and seemed within hailing distance. The air, cool and crisp, came to the nostrils filled with the odor of hay growing mellow as the sun grew warm, and all this "·as in keeping with the Captain's spirits .:::1~ as he took his way. Far off across the meado\YS two children •' called out to him, and he waved his stick at them in great good humor. A team passed him on the road and a man leaned out. "Hello, Cap." The Captain smiled. "Hello! Fine this, ain't it ?· · he said. The man shouted back " Great," and the Captain cut acro~s the meaclo\\·s toward the clock, stepped into his boat and pulled slowly out down the harbor, humming to himself the while. He went up the path to the door still humming and knocked softly, then, warm and tired with the long pull, leaned back against the wall to rest. The fresh air growing mellow with the sun laved his face caressingly as he drew in long breaths and he gazed lazily at the land as it lay stretched out to bask in the warm sunlight, and once or twice he yawned as if in sympathy. Then the door opened and Dagot's wife looked out and her voice roused him. '' Come in Captain." He turned smiling. '' How de do? Been feelin' ··-he began, then stopped short seeing that she had been weeping, and not being accustomed to women's tears he looked down uneasily and stirred the pebbles in the path

with his boot heel, but at last he faltered out "Aint been feelin' purty well ter-day, be ye?" She looked at him abstractedly as if she had not heard ; " Better come in. Sile be waitin' for ye all mornin'." He shut the door behind him and followed her to the sitting room with the fear of impending evil heavy on his heart, and be regarded her from under his eyelids like a child fearful of punishment and asked himself, ··What can it be?" As for Dagot, be looked at neither of them as they entered, be probably did not even see them, for he continued to gaze out of the window as if be saw neither sea nor land nor sky, and his bands folded listlessly in his lap bespoke utter hopelessness. His wife went over to him softly imd laid her band on his shoulder. " It's the Captain, Sile; don't ye want ter see him?" H e looked up, with a woe-begone smile. "Ah Cap'n, the Lord cbastenetb us," his voice quivered and he turned his face from them toward the window again. "·what is it?" asked the Captain, as he went over aml laid his hand on the arm of the chair. "What is it, Sile, that makes ye argify agin the Creator sucbaway? •· "Troublin'," said Dagot, "me that's been a good and fa'th'ul sarvint for nigh thirty years, ter be turned out neow, me that never had no complaints agio me and allers been so careful, and neow- and neow,"- He put his band into his pocket with a sob and drew out a long official envelope with a red seal. He turned it over in his band dolefully once or twice, then thrust it out. · · That's it- take it,- me that's been so fa'th'ul. to be turned out neow, its bitter bard, dang it." As for the Captain, he stood with the paper in his hand, looking now at Dagot, now at the envelope undecidedly, then be went close to the window and holding the document close to his eyes, read it carefully word for word, looked at the seal in a stunned sort of way, then read it over again. It was brief. Silas Dagot having reached the age of seventy was no longer eligible for position of lighthouse-keeper and was retired, retirement to take place October first. When he had finished the reading he drew a long breath ending in a sigh, " Oh dear.'' His hand shook, be felt a terrible sinking at the stomach and his eyes grew blurred with unshed tears, but his voice came out passionately, "Damn them Gov'ment fellers." If be bad been young be might have hardened his face and met it calmly, however deep it struck home, but be was old and the blow struck upon his heart with full force. He looked at Dagot, bowed bdore him, he looked at Dagot's wife, and tried to speak but could not, and be turned, pressing his face close against the window-pane . Over at the wharf th e island steainer was casting loose her ropes for the mid-day run. A group of children were romping along the lawn before the hotel and just then the stage went lumbering up the incline with a solitary passenger and disappeared behind the out-buildings at the turn of the road. He did not see the;n. It was come at last, the end of things. All the thirty years of friendship vanishing into the past, like sand slipping through the fingers, all the old anticipations and hopes crumbling into the dust like ideals in the lives of men. Could it be, as he had heard the parson say, that wh<'n hopes were shattered it was God overlooking the materials and choosing them? His heart rebelled against the thought. He began to sob softly to himself, and the sobs caught bet\\'een his breath. like the throbbing of the pulse It meant the end of the dai ly pilgrimages. There would be nothing to look forward to. He turned with a stamp of his foot and denched his hand "Damn them Gov'ment fellers." "Who be argifyin' agin the Creator and cussin' folks now?" wailed Dagot, lifting his head and wagging it slowly from side to side. His misery had evidently found company and was somewhat consoled. "You boys, now," said Dagot's wife looking at them in surprise and leaning forward with her hands upon the table, 10 7


"will ye be cross? I be ashamed of ye, Sile, for treatin' the Captain so. and be weepin' for ye." "Weepin'," said the Captain, drawing himself up a little, "me a-cryin' ? What makes ye say that, Mrs. Dagot? It's my eyes that be bad this mornin'." "Are ye ashamed of honest tears that do ye credit, Captain?" she asked. He looked away from her and with his fingers fumbled with the table-cloth in evident embarrassment, but did not answer and she went on "路will ye two smoke?" the Captain sat down opposite Dagot and regarded him sadly, chin on band . "It's bard, Silas man, hard for ye and her and me too." Dagot nodded, " Yes it are." He leaned forward. "Do ye know that I pray every night," be said earnestly." every night, and I say ter ye as a God-fearin' man it are hard to think be aint a hearing me." "Don't ye talk like that, Sile," said his wife, laying the pipes on the table and regarding him reproachfully. "Ob, its bard 'nough not ter speak on nor think on like that." Her voice broke into passionate sobs. "Would ye put yer little self agin the maker of ye, Silas Dagot, ye that's been a deakin for fifteen year? It hurts me, it hurts me," she wailed. The Captain who was cramming tobacco into his pipe turned to Dagot rebukingly. "Ye should take shame ter yerself for bnrtin' yer wife," he said. Sile did not heed him. He bad risen and stood with his arm around her, speaking to her. "Don't yer cry, it was foolish, not meanin' ter hurt ye." The Captain went back to his pipe-filling, and lit up quickly to bide his face behind much smoke, and be turned his face toward the window as if interested in something outside, but for all that be was almost sobbing. Dagot and his wife sat down, and the Captain smoked his pipe in silence and watched them sitting hand in haml for a long time, and they looked at him, filled with gloom too deep for words, all the memories of thirty years surging up in the hearts like a great flood. Once the Captain said," Be ye goin' ter get a pension? " and they answered together, "No, no pension; it's bard. " And be said, as if speaking to himself, " It's very bard, I shall have no one ter go ter, no one ter care for, I'm old." They went down to the landing to see him off, and he held their hands for a long time and went off without a word. I saw him on the wharf, in the early morning of an October clay, come down for the leave-taking. He was very sad and carried a red handkerchief in his hand. He was sitting on the bench by the side of the baggage-room when my eyes first lit upon him and was trying to bear up and console Dagot. They spoke little, but just sat and gazed at each other wistfully. The stage came lumbering up and I looked away to see who was in it and began conversing with the man next me. The porters were hauling the trunks around with a great din, there was the sound of many voices rising monotonously together and the hiss of escaping steam. Then the whistle shrieked and I saw them again, Dagot and his wife and the Captain, and they were gripping hands by the gang-plank. "Good-by," saiJ the Captain. He paused a moment, looked around at the sky," It's goin' to be a beautiful day." "0h, Captain," said Dagot's wife. Silas himself said nothing. He put his band on the Captain's shoulder and looked at him and choked. Then they went down the gang-plank and left the Captain standing on the wharf, and there I too left him ten minutes later leaning against the post, still gazing thoughtfully across the waters where the boat was being swallowed up in the distance.

A Tale for the First of April LT E

was standing in the shadow of one of the huge warehouses that line the river bank, deep in thought. It was late at night, and he was as much alone as though U1e busy town had been a desert. On the street far behind him he could hear now and then the hurrying steps of a belated pedestrian, or the deliberate whistle of a policeman on his distant beat. Right in front the water plashed softly against the wooden wharves, deep black save where it eddied and s\\·irled in the narrow beams of light shot out from a boat at her moorings. Now there was a chance. to think- and act. But be could not think; every attempt convinced him that his mind was gone. He knew that complete quiet reigned everywhere, but his head was full of vague whirling sound. ·with a great effort he controlled himself, steadying his fe\·erish head with his hands. It bad been a terrible mistake- this life of his. He bad begun pretty well- or rather be had tried in a shiftless way. That was long ago. Ever since he bad taken that new start, there had been no comfort after the first excitement of resoh·e had worn away- notlring but new friendships broken, and old ones unrenewed. How tiresome it all was! Slowly he straightened himself and felt the outlines of the thing in his pocket, long and heavy and smooth. There it Jay now, quiet and harmless enough; the next instant, if he wishedWhat would the policemen think when they came? What would people say in the morning? With a feeling half of pity, half of scorn, be realized that be was still a gentleman, in looks and dress. Yet what were the odds? He was a worthless brute anyhow. \Vith a muttered curse. he took the tbmg from its resting-place and slowly. deliberately, raised it. Stop! was not this rather hard on his friends? Ought he not to consider the disgrace, the pain of it? His people were always good to him . He lowered his hand. The· veins were beating in his forehead once more, and the trip hammers were in his ears. But that did not account for the foot-falls coming rapidly nearer. He must decide, and now. \Vitb a convulsive movement he raised it again- and drained it to the last drop. He bad sworn off, but this was the very last drink! P. ]. McCooK, '95

My Grandsire said (and this is true), Lest bitter envy dwell w1th you, Behold the wheel bow swift it turns ; Behold how fast the fagot burns ; Behold how soon the hearth is cold, The vintage past, the garment old, The swallow speed his windy way, T he mounting wave dissolves to spray, T he sea-foam melts against the reefBehold the falling of the leaf.

Three Pictures I

Q

wicked Paris ! The interior of a small but sumptuously furnished salon, having an outlook on the Rue de Montmartre. Rich draperies hang in heavy folds before the three tall windows. The ceiling, paneled in polished wood, is as much a shimmering mirror as the heavy beveled-glass ones upon the tapestried walls. Persian rugs lie in cleverly counterfeited confusion upon an oaken floor. From pendent chandeliers are diffused dazzling rays of brightness. The rich coloring of precious paintings on the walls, the dark-red glow of mahogany furniture, the elegance of bric-abrac and damask-covered divans make a miniature fairy boudoir of color and warmth and grace out of the little salon. In sad contrast to all the beauty and harmony here evinced, are the two occupants. Lyin g in wild abandon in one corner of a divan, amidst cushions of brilliant hues, now silently sobbing, anon pouring forth inarticulate fierceness, is a woman. The face, of which only a glimpse may be caught between the white hands held so tightly before it, must be very beautiful. Her hair is auburn, luxuriant, disheveled. The form is perfect. The dress in the height of fashion is gorgeous, yet beautiful. But the tear-drops have worn little furrows over rouged cheeks. The other is a tall, light-haired, high-born English youth. There he stands, his back to the divan, his form drawn up to its full height, his fists clenched, his proud handsome face convulsed with anger and disgust. Like the child who casts aside in a fit of weariness some once dearly-prized toy, L ord Roland Herbert had discarded his beautiful mistress and bidden her go hence. His careless life of ceaseless dissipation in the Parisian maelstrom is over. REAT

~

II It is early evening in the Champs Elysees. The weather has changed suddenly. It is raining slightly, and a fog, damp, listless, shadowy, is settling. On all sides lights flash from passing carriages or gleam in well-ordered rows lining the sides of the boulevard. Among the many, one open carriage is being driven furiously by, to escape as soon as possible from the bad weather. As it passes full under the flare of a powerful light two figures upon the rear seat are clearly seen. One is the noble lord. The sowing of his wild oats is over. Their harvest he must soon reap. His handsome face has lost its dissipated look. It glows with all the confidence and strength of young manhood. Beside him is his fair-faced pure young English wife, the bride of scarce a month. Lord Roland has taken her on their wedding tour to Paris. The mist is very thick now, and makes the gloom deep in spite of many lights. One should not drive so recklessly in such a shroud of gray mist. 114


Suddenly two lights gleam right ahead. "Prenez garde" comes a shrill French cry from the gloom in front. The driver of Lord Roland's carriage for the moment loses his wits. A splintering crash, frenzied horses plunging furiously, a debris of shattered carriages mingled hopelessly together - in amongst all this, struggling human forms. There, beneath two trampling horses, is a woman. One glance at her white face, and Lord Roland, thrown out unhurt, grasps from its perilous position the silent form. III

Upon some torn carriage cushions she has just been laid by the strong arms of the Englishman. With nervous fingers he feels over the heart, and pushes back the long hair, wet and muddy, from the forehead. The light from a lantern held near, flares full upon pallid features. She has fainted . A terrible truth flashes through the loving husband's heart. There before him lies one whose sin-marked features he knew only too well. " My wife," be hoarsely sbriekes and starts to rise. A gendarme beside him lays his hand upon his shoulder, and pointing to a cluster of dark forms, slowly says, "There yonder, monsieur, but 0 mon Dieu! she is dead!" An unaccountable happening of existence had thrown again in Lord Roland's path his former mistress, and, cruelly deceiving him, caused him to save her life, and leave untried a single effort to preserve his own pure bride.

A Mountain Spring

Here, on the sultry mountain's face, Although the heat broods bright around The streamlet, in a mossy place, Drips, drop by drop, without a sound, Into a basin, cool and bright, Crag-shaded from the golden light. No living thing that flies or creeps Comes near the well this noon-tide hour. The sunlight scorches crags and steeps; The laurel shuts its dainty flower; The ll'ild brook, faded to a thread, Lies silent in its mossy bed. How sweet the spring! how dark and cool ! Safe sheltered by the crag on high This tiny place, this shallow pool. Yet, with its own dark depth of sky, Lies like a priceless jewel there,A jewel that no king may wear. HOWARD DANIEL PLHIPTON,

The Trinity Tablet ''X-, will you go down to-day and read proof on the ' Tablet' ?" How often that request has been made, how familiar the echo ; what reminiscences of the past it recalls ! It would seem that one number of the "Tablet" was hardly circulated, before the poor editors had to grind away for the next issue. What it may be to-day I do not know, but in the early " Eighties," the lot of an editor of the "Tablet" was no sinecure. It seemed awfully like work and drudgery at times. The method of selection is different to-day, but in times past it was an even chance whether a man selected as an editor might not display far greater skill in deciding on the merits of the speed of a horse than those of a sonnet or rondeau. In our days au editor was appointed by the respective societies, and they were selected at times not so much for their fitness as for being the only men available. By what immutable law of "College running" each society possessed every year, in each class, a man of literary tastes, is one of the paradoxes that only a college man is competent to solve. In the literary division of the work alt' the editors wrote ad libitztm for the editorial columns. The rest of the paper was divided up into departments and apportioned to the editors, each of whom was responsible for his department. There was one burden, though, which seemed one-sided, the responsibility for which we should have all been willing to bear-perhaps it is the same now. While the literary editors worked for Kuiios the business editor smiled to think of the great balance of "filthy lucre" which would fall into his lap. In any reminiscences of the" Old Tablet," it would not do to omit mention of the ethics of the paper. I think its purpose bas always been to hold a high ideal before the undergraduate. To be sure, at times we thought that the utterances to which " we" the editors, gave voice, or rather type, were weighty and of utmost importance ; doubtless we often supposed that our arguments were unanswerable and the faculty purblind in not seeing the reasonableness of our argument and yielding instant acquiescence to our undergraduate. demands, and that the welfare of the college depended on their adopting our suggestions- e. /{- the annual struggle by petition for thanksgiving holidays, the time of the Easter recess, the matter of compulsory chapel attendance, etc. ; but notwithstanding these subjects of perennial interest and perennial difference the ''Tablet" always endeavored to hold up a high and true view of college life, to expose shams, to even rebuke undergraduates when they were clearly in the wrong; tried always to be a fair exponent of college sentiment, and always gave every one a chance to air his grievances. As to the matter of the" Tablet," there was as in all papers some padding, but one has only to take up an old volume of the " Tablet" to see that the original matter was quite up to the average standard. and it was not unusual to find frequent extracts from our paper in the College exchanges. If the matter was good, so was the variety, each number being well filled with editorials, stories, communications, and verses in forms and rhymes, old and new. " The Trinity Tablet"- Floreat. H .

Track Athletics

I

was in May, 1878, that Trinity held her first field meet. On that occasion her athletes won distinction by breaking two American inter-collegiate records-the pole-vault and the running broad-jump. The first was broken by F. L. Wilcox with a vault of 8 feet IO! inches; the second, by R. l\f. Campbell with a jump of 20 feet I I inches. At the second meeting J. R. Parsons raised the pole-vault record to 9 feet 2 inches. T

It may be of interest to note that at different times in the history of our meets the following events have been tried and dropped;- the three-legged race, wheelbarrow race, sack race, throwing base-ball, potato race, standing broad jump, bop, skip, and jump, kicking foot-ball, standing high jump, throwing cricket-ball, tug-of-war, and the two-mile walk.

In May, 1 887, seven colleges met for the first field day of the " 'ew England InterCollegiate Athletic Association," and Trinity, although the smallest college in the association, came out fourth in the number of first places won, capturing both the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Since 1887 the number of colleges in the association has been increasing, and Trinity can boast only of doing well "for her size." During the last two years, however, renewed interest has been manifested in this, the oldest branch of athletics, and we now look forward to a period of greater success than we have had for some time. The prospect for a good track team during the next few years is especially promising from the fact that the best and the largest number of athletes is in the two lower classes. Even last year, in a dual meet with a neighboring college of twice our size, the outcome was undecided until the last event; so that we have good reason to feel encouragement as to our success in the near future.

Foot-Ball

mHE 路1

A History

author of this sketch entered Trinity College in the Autumn of r867; and about the first official announcement from the faculty that disturbed his peace was a notice that the annual game of foot-ball between the freshmen and the sophomores would not be permitted to take place. The reason for this prohibition was the fo.ct that a player had broken his leg the year before. This circumstance shows that Trinity football has always been played vigorously. And it shows, also, that in the old days players were more valuable than they are now ; for no college faculty would at this time think of forbidding a game simply because a player or two broke bones in the discharge of athletic duties. The honor of having introduced the rudimentary form of modern American football in Trinity College is contended for by several middle-aged gentlemen of great weight and stature. Like the invention of gunpowder and the authorship of Hamlet, this question is a perennial source of debate. But it is fairly certain that, whoever was the first to say "Let's try this new game," play was called in 1878 or 1879. One great distinction belongs to the early Trinity foot-ball men. It was one of them who invented the canvas jacket. At .the same time he devised the plan of greasing it; and tradition has it that the Yale team would have been defeated by this combination of cloth, butter, and student, had not some ingenious son of Eli put his comrades up to the trick of playing with their hands full of sand. "Sand" has helped foot-ball men out of many difficulties, first and last, but perhaps never more directly than on this historic occasion. The game rather lagged until the fall of 1883, when the writer had the privilege of seeing the Trinity team defeated overwhelmingly by the Hartford High School. This game was played on the western part of Bushnell Park, and the result was the birth of a new spirit in Trinity athletics. There were men in College who would not put up with defeats like that ; and they set themselves at work to reform the community and to create public sentiment. Perhaps no injustice is done to other good players and good fellows in saying that the leader of the new movement was William W. Barber, of the class of 1888. The College may have had equally good half-backs, though not many such, but the old players will agree that be did more for the game than any other one man. Success did not come at first. We used to lose all our games and lose them by tremendous scores. But slowly the tide turned, and by r887 the Trinity team was a match for the teams of the other small colleges. The game in those days was not the game of 1895. Not to go into minutiae, it may be said that the quarter-back was expected to pass the ball from thirty

to sixty feet and that the ability to do this swiftly and accurately was the principal qualification sought for. The man who received the ball ran with it pretty much without assistance, and often passed it to another player when in danger of being tackled. The full-back usually remained near his own goal for the purpose of intercepting any foe who should succeed in passing the forwards. Tackling was so unskillful that a strong man often ran twenty or more yards with half a dozen adversaries clinging about his neck and shoulders. Team work developed slowly ; and indeed was not easy to attain under the old rules against interference. Barber was one of the first captains to bring up his full-back where he was of use in offensive play and one of the first to surround his runners with a cloud of friends, thus introducing modern methods for protecting the man with the ball. The game was rough and sometimes brutal to a degree far beyond anything known now. Probably there has been little improvement in this direction during the last three or four years. But the game prior to about 1890 was much worse than it has been since that date. Signals were given either by a pre-arranged system by which the ordinary exhortations to "Hold hard," "Look out," "Line up quick," etc., bad a meaning for the players supposed not to be understood by the enemy, or else were given by slight gestures. It was a great pity, and it is a thing paralleled by many historic instances of men dying before the realization of their ambitions, that Barber graduated before we beat Wesleyan. This momentous occurrence first took place in the season of 1889, under the generalship of E. McP. McCook, a captain who worthily succeeded Barber and developed the game still further. Probably the best team that Trinity has ever put in the field was that captained by Harmon Graves in 1891. 路 That was our greatest year. Grave路s found good material in College and made the most of it. It is fair to say, also, that no foot-ball captain in any college ever surpassed Graves in the actual tactics of play on the field. A striking illustration of this fact was afforded in the Wesleyan game of that year, which was played and won practically by ten men, as Graves himself was disabled by a sprain and took the ball only once. With the season of 1892 we reach modern times, and it would perhaps be unwise to comment on individuals. Trinity bas kept up her later traditions and bas always played the game for all there is in it, accepting defeat patiently and winning chivalrously. One gallant player who made many a touch-down for Trinity should be mentioned in any record of Trinity's athletic worthie"'"s- William Chapin Hill ; a youth whose high courage and generous spirit endeared him to a host of friends. He was elected captain in 1890 and died during the following summer. His memorial is the brass lectern in our Chapel, and his memory is in the hearts of all who knew him. A study of the scores, of course, shows that we have lost far more games than we have won. That will continue while Trinity remains the smallest of the colleges. But whatever our future in numbers and in Yictories, we can at least preserve the reputation which has been gained of playing our best and of playing honestly. We can continue to subordinate our athletics to higher aims, and we can see to it that no man shall represent the College who is not a genuine member of the undergraduate body. We can preserve the names and the memory of the old heroes and try just a little harder in every game when we think of the men who made touch-downs in the years that are gone.

Base Ball at Trinity

m

HE brief space allotted to this article will not permit more than a mere allusion to the many notable victories won by Trinity in this branch of athletics. The game which has since become national was in its infancy played here with great zeal and success. Unquestionably, its future was, in large measure, moulded and assured by the skill of Trinity men. Any one who is familiar with the spirit, aim, and result of our Alma Mater's teachings, would naturally expect her sons to be among the foremost in cultivating and improving the physical as well as the moral, social, and intellectual man, and would look for such result. More than thirty years ago, before colleges had their nines, in the old days when the Charter Oak Club of Hartford was famous wherever the game was h:nown, much of its reputation and success was due to its pitcher, Blackwell, of the class of '66. At the same time Allen W. Thurman of '67, afterwards, for many years, president of the National League, was a great lover and close student of the game. Larger scores were made in those days, not because the batter was more skillful or the fielder poorer than now, but because the ball was pitched, not thrown, and the batter had comparatively little trouble in " finding it.'' The battle was not so much between the occupants of the box. A pitcher who could strike out half a dozen men in a game was looked upon almost as a marvel. Gloves, masks, and pads were unknown. Our first college nine was formed with the advent of the class of '70 in the fall of 1866, though no inter-collegiate games were played until the summer of 1870, when we had games with hoth Yale, '71, and Wesleyan, losing to the former 19 to 26 and winning from the latter 42 to 31. No separate record of errors was kept, probably because so few were made it was not worth while, but other points in the play were considered of interest and were recorded. Thus the published account of these games after giving the individual outs and runs goes on: YALE vs. TRINITY WESLEYAN VS. TRINITY Flies caught 10 IS 14 7 Flies missed 0 2 6 5 Fouls struck 23 27 23 17 Out on fouls 6 7 7 4 Left on bases 8 8 7 Passed balls 12 12 II 9 Home runs I 0 2 Time of game 2 h. 2 h. 30m. so m.

'


The graduation of '70 took seven men from the college nine, and it was not till 1874 that we fully regained this Joss. This long interval is partially accounted for by the fact that in the meantime Trinity devoted considerable attention to boating and took part in the regattas at Saratoga and Springfield. Her friends were gratified at her position in the great race at Spi;ngfield, in 1873, when the eleven crews crossed the finish line in the following order: Yale, Wesleyan, Harvard, Amherst, Dartmouth, Columbia, Trinity, Aggies, Cornell, Bowdoin, Williams. In 1874 the playing rules had been so amended that the large scores of former days were no longer probable, and when in this year we won from Brown 14 to 9 and from Amherst 15 toll, the games were considered good. Playing steadily improved after boating was abandoned, and in 1876 we find Trinity playing one game with Yale and two with Harvard, losing one of the games with the latter by a score of 4 to 7. In the early eighties more attention was given to tennis than to base-ball at Trinity, but in '87 we had a strong nine, and during that season and the next interesting games were played with Yale, Harvard, Brown, Williams, Amherst, and other colleges. From that time to the present our nine has done very creditable work, notably in '91, when we defeated Yale by a score of 14 to 7. If we were to enumerate those who at some time have done especially good work we should be compelled to give a list of all our players. P. S. BRYANT.

The Musical Organizations writing this sketch of the musical clubs, it will be impossible to give more than a rough account of the origins and growth of the various organizations, for lack of space will not permit a full history. The Glee Club, as the oldest and most important, should be mentioned first. It grew out of the numerous quartettes and singing societies which flourished in goodly numbers in the days of the old college, and the first organized Glee Club concert was apparently given in '77 or '78, for in the '79 " I vY," under "The Department of Music," is found the earliest mention of the Trinity College Glee Club. And the early Glee Clubs must have been especially rich in men of musical talent, if any reliance can be placed on the word of those who remember and are competent to judge, and if names like A. P . Burgwiu, '82, and Safford Waters, '87, count for anything. In this connection we must not fail to mention Dudley Buck, '59; for, although in college before the time of organized musical clubs, by his fame in the musical world in later life, he has shed reflected lustre on his Alma Mattr. The Instrumental Clubs are of later origin than the Glee Club. A Banjo Quintette in '84 or '85 seems to have been the first of these (except for the " Royal Egyptian String Octette" and various orchestras and bands of doubtful merit). The Trinity Banjo Club followed in a year or two, but the Mandolin Club did not come into existence until 1893. Until the spring of 1893 the clubs confined themselves to giving concerts in Hartford and nearby towns. In 1893, under the management of L. V. Lockwood, '93, a short spring trip was undertaken successfully, followed the next year by a more extended tour, the clubs visiting Pittsb urgh, Philadelphia, and New York. In 1895 they went South and were everywhere received with the most delightful hospitality. Shortly before the Christmas holidays last year, a series of concerts was given in Albany, N. Y., Hoosic Falls, N. Y., and Pittsfield,

I

N

Mass.

It is not necessary to make any comparison of the three cluhs. Suffice it to say that the work of the musical organizations has always hrought credit to themselves, and called forth favorable comments from musical critics, and the secret of this has

been- hard work.

History of the Missionary Society

milE Missionary Society was founded in I8J2. owiug its life in great part, it is

1

believed, to the enthusiasm of Augustus Foster Lydc, '30, who had offered himself to the Church as our first missionary to China. The first president was George Benton, '33, who became a missionary to Crete; and among the members are not a few who have devoted themselves to missionary work of various kinds. Specially worthy of honor are Henry Winter Syle, '67, probably the first deaf mute ordained in the Christian Church, and Charles Smith Corh. a Sioux Indian, who did a noble work among his own people. Two of our domestic ?\Iissionary Bishops have also been on the list of the Society. During the past year the members have continued the Sunday services in four wards of the city Hospital, while some have worked in the Good 路will Club, and in Sunday-schools and Missions. A considerable addition has been made to the uncompleted endowment of a scholarship in St. John's College, Shanghai;. and the Lenten offerings were devoted to mission work among colored people at the South .. At the meetings addresses have been made by Bishop \Yells of Spokane, the Rev. l\Ir. Forrester of Mexico, the Rev. Mr. Jones of North Carolina, the Rev. Dr. Gammach of West Hartford, the Rev. l\Ir. Miel of Hartford, Miss M. C. Huntington, Professors Hart, Ferguson, and l\Iartin, and Mr. Mosher of the Berkley Divinity

week, 1895, will always be a red-letter week in '92's calendar. 路with willing response to the call sent out by the class secretary, fourteen men gathered around a well-filled table at the "Hartford" on the evening of June 24th. A more enthusiastic set of fellows for college and class, it would be impossible to find. " Out of sight, out of mind" is no part of the life and practice of '<12. Greetings, interchange of experiences were the order of the day for a long tim .::fore '92 proceeded to show its old-time capacity for refreshments of both kinds. hat a record of change three years can present. The look of happy indifference which distinguishes a college man is supplanted, even in this short time, by one of weightier responsibility. You may not be able to trace in it any particular view of the "goal," but it tells you this much, that "life is real, life is earnest." This look was Reen only during the mutual confidences between bites; the rest of the time, the four years of college life were lived over again. There were no unpleasant memories to obtrude themselves, '92 never had any; life at Trinity had been a harmony of '' grave and gay" without a discordant note. A bumper to Trinity, then one to the class were drunk with cheers, followed by the old songs which none had forgotton. Then came a flow of spontaneous ready oratory which wo uld have put the United States Senate to shame, and promises well for the pulpit and the bar of QOMMENCEMENT

U

Trinity, '92 . The squeezer naturally claimed its share of attention. Ninety-two felt that the glory of that time-honored institution was at stake, so to conserve the squeezer as an emblem of class merit in college life and to rescue it from threatened deterioration into a money prize for the highest bidder, she denounced the tendency to lavish expenditure upon the squeezer banquet. The simple wooden emblem ought to have been an effectual though silent protest against the rivalry in extravagance between squeezer classes. Verbum sapentzis. "路what can we do for Trinity?" asked '92. A hasty stock-taking discovered nothing bL t enthusiasm, and in lieu of anything better it was decided to continue " whooping it up" for Trinity until we could send sons or checks, or both.

The spirit of union which gave '92 an unbroken record in college for 210


united work was still alive and made the triennial reunion an event never to be forgotten. Only one was taken from us since graduation, Ernest Randall, whose unexpected decease caused sorrow to all '92. Distance, which refuses to be bridged by mere desire, kept several from this class greeting. Recently assumed domestic responsibility kept others. The fourteen who responded to roll-call were John Paine, Albert Crabtree, E. Kent Hubbard , Jr., Roland Mallory, Romilly F. Humphries, John R . Bacon, Chas. E . Taylor, Harmon S. Graves, Clarence L . Hall , Gordon Hall, Chas. Amos Johnson, A. H. Sibley, C. C. Trowbridge, and T. W. Goodridge. One more shout for '92 and all adjourned to a 'bus waiting to start for sen ior dramatics. Hartford knew that '92 was in town that night, and at Alumni Hall a thunder-clap of cheers anounced to Alma Mater that '92 was home again. Like Peterkin and Wilhelmine, all looked up to see" what 'twas all about."

Each '92 man was a Kasper who could say: " It was a famous victory." THE CLASS OFFICERS ARE AS FOLLOWS':

those who have not the good fortune to be intimately acquainted with student life

_[19 at Trinity a few words of explanation may be necessary concerning the group of figures on the opposite page. They are three very important personages connected with the college- Robert, Adams, and Michael- and they are as much a part of the institution as the "Bish" out on the campus, or the old gymnasium. Adams is in the center. He has just come out of one of the sections where he has been "fixing-up" one of the rooms. That is the reason he carries his trusty broom in one band and a duster in the other, for it is his duty to go through the various sections and see that all is set to rights and incidentally to entertain the men with stories of a miscellaneous nature. But chiefly does he enjoy relating incidents in his own career, and these he tells with such zest and that it .is often hard to tear yourself away. He claims for himself direct descent from an African chief of great prowess and fame in his own country, and so circumstan:ial is his story, and so complete in every particular, that there is no reason to doubt tht. accuracy of it. His name in the African tongue, he says, is Omz1zz', although this spelling is not vouched for as correct. The common pronunciation is "Hominy." A good many years of his life Adams has passed at Trinity. He remembers with unfailing accuracy the men who graduated here a generation back, and makes you a graceful compliment when he can, by telling you that" you look very much like your father, sir, when be was a young gentleman in college." On class day he appears in a dress suit to tend the punch bowl and see to the filling and lighting of the pipes, and it is on this occasion that he looks his best. Above the picture of Adams is Robert the head janitor. By right he is a member of the faculty, for he it is who carries all communications to and from 13 Seabury, and in time of trouble his presence is shunned equally with theirs. However, Robert is a pretty good friend of the boys, and often through him they are saved from a lateness at morning or evening chapel, although, to be honest, be is not always allowed his own free will in the matter. And this is partly the reason why he was taken from in front, for his coat-tails are so raveled from the clutches of many desperate hands that they are quite unpresentable for a photograph. As seen in the picture, he is on his morning round with the mail box (this is another of his duties- to distribute the mail morning and evening), and to make the picture complete there should be a crowd around jostling and yelling, all clamoring for mail at once aud each one expecting an immediate answer to his question, "Anything for me, Robert?" The last of the three is Michael. In his arms is a bundle of clothes which he is going to take down town to clean, or supply with buttons, or repair in any way necessary. You will readily see that without Michael we should all soon be in rags, so he was deemed worthy of a place in this illustrious group. But :\Iichael is blue now-a-days and does not take a rosy view of life as he used to. Times are bad. The rich men 224

have stopped coming to Trinity or else waste their substance on other luxuries than clothes. "Look at dose men," he exclaimed as two soberly dressed students came out of one of the sections. "Vat gan you do mit men vot don't have only von zuit a year? Vy, I gan't make dwo cents out of dose fellers. Now, you know egzactly how it is, don't you? Vy, venn S - - - and B - - - and I-I - - - vas in gollege, dey vouldn't vear zuits vot you'd gonsider nice. Den dere vas Mr. D---. Oh, he vas a nice young shentleman. He Jet me take anydings I vanted out of his drunk, bretty near, and I dell you dey vas fine, mighty fine ! " And here he sighed and was about turning away, when a voice from a top window hailed him. '' Ho, Mike, come up here, I have a job for you," and with a hasty "Sa-ay, let me see von of dem pictures venn dere done" he disappeared through the door and the clatter of his boots was heard as he fairly ran up the stairs. However, this sketch would not be complete without a picture of "Apples," who, alas, is no longer with us, but who will, nevertheless, linger in the memory of Trinity men. The picture that accompanies this is very faint and but dimly shows the ot1tlines of the old man's face and figure, with the little stick at a "salute" and the basket of "bunker hills" over his arm. Still, _perhaps it is sufficient to bring him back as he used to look in those palmy days before an unfeeling faculty exiled him, days when he would come up to college with his pockets empty and his basket full, and would go away with these conditions reversed. He was killed by falling out of a third story window and died with his basket and stick still by him, as any soldier would wish to die- with his arms in hi. hands.

The Proposed Technical School

rnHE

plans for establishing a Technical School for instruction in Mechanical Engineering at Trinity College are not yet sufficiently advanced to encourage prophecy. The fact that such a school is needed in Hartford and that Hartford offers many advantages to such an institution was mentioned by President Smith in his address to the Alumni last Commencement Day. During the months of the autumn and winter last past the matter was brought to the notice of the Hartford Board of Trade, mainly through the instrumentality of the Hartford Scientific Society. The Board of Trade appointed a committee to prepare plans for a Technical School. This committee investigated the whole subject very thoroughly and reported that such an institution as was proposed might be started in connection with Trinity College pro¡ vided a fund of three hundred thousand dollars could be raised for additional equipment and endowment. At a public meeting held in Unity Hall it was voted by those in

1.

attendance to appoint a committee of finance and to proceed to raise the money required. Time will show whether these plans are to be carried out. It is encouraging to note the very great interest in this project manifested by Hartford capitalists and manufacturers. Should the school be established it w111 probably appear under a new and specific name, and will largely take the place of the present three-years Course in Science.

+ is with a deep sense of the s_hortnes_ and unce~taintY: of human life that we attempt to ·express the gnef we have sustamed m the death of our fellow classmate and student, PA UL TYLER CusTER, who so recently was one of us. For nearly four years his life here exemplified the characteristics of a Christian gentleman, a diligent student, and a devoted friend. Poor health prevented him from taking an active part in the out-door life of the college, with the result that his presence was felt more strongly in the retired and quiet walks of our life here. But he possessed the peculiar power of impressing his personality on all with whom he came in contact, and his name will ever be remembered by all who knew him here, and especially by his fellow students in the Class of 'g6. It were unfitting for us to attempt any enumeration of his characteristics or to record the many sterling qualities which so identified him in our estimation. A man's best work is that which he leaves after him, and the hushed and solemn voices which communicated the sad fact of his death testified to the realization of ow· loss. The record of his college life shows that during his course, despite ill health, he was a close student, and his industry was rewarded by success in many branches of study. It is our wish to express to his family our sympathy, and to assure them that their sorrow is our sorrow, and that their loss is shared by us as well. Inadequate indeed must any expression of our sympathy be, but it is our wish that they may receive a better consolation than we are able to give. Although the year has robbed us of a fellow student, the example of his Christian integrity will be about our paths until we too shall join that innumerable throng •• \Vhere no shade can last In that deep dawn behind the tomb."

Died at the home of his sister in Danville, Ill., on the first day of May. He was in the twenty-fourth year of his age, having been born July 22, 1872. He entered here in the course in arts in 1892, having been at Griswold college -for a short time. By very diligent work he soon attained a high stand in his class. At the end of Sophomore year he took the Roman Literature prize and an English Composition prize, and at the end of Junior year he was awarded the first prize in Political Science, and also the Douglas prize on the first occasion of its being offered. It was his plan to study for Holy Orders, but he was making his preliminary studies as wide as possible ; and to his studies he added much reading and observation of men and things. His health, never robust, showed itself seriously impaired in the latter part of the winter. He was for a while under medical care at the Hartford Hospital. There he gained strength sufficient to enable him to take the journey to Illinois ; but at the last he failed rapidly.

Wesleyan-Trinity Field-Meet Q N Tuesday,

May 12th, occurred the second annual field-meet between Trinity and Wesleyan, and the outcome was victory for the old-gold and blue. On grounds (g of their own choosing- where it was an incalculable advantage to know the eccentricities of the track and the impediments in the way- and after tasting yictory in anticipation for three hours and a half, our old rivals were laid to rest on the field of Crystal Lake Park just after the sun had disappeared nver the western hills. Too much credit cannot be given Capt. Sparks and his sturdy followers for the way in which they rallied from what seemed certain and overwhelming defeat, and by a magnificent spurt carried our colors across the tape, winners by three points. It was an ideal clay for out-door games, and the men, thanks to the care ancl watchfulness of Capt. Sparks and Mr. Foster, went down to Middletown in the best of condition. But when they reached the grounds, they were not reassured by the appearance of the track. It had beeu newly built, and had not yet been smoothed out nor well hardened, so that it presented a surface coverecl with dust an inch deep and with stones of various sizes scattered in profusion over it. The men were quartered in a barn from which the natural occupants had not been removed. ancl which was situated some 150 or 200 yards from the judges' stand. Except for the exertion of going to and fro between the events, it proved a very comfortable dressing-room, as the sweet-smelling bay and the cnrnpany of the cattle and the coolness of the place made a pleasing and restful contrast to the heat and dust without. The games were delayed through the non-appearance of the referee and one of the judges, and it was not until nearly four o'clock that the contestants were summoned for the hundred yards clash. The six starters ,,路ere oil' in a pretty bunch, and held close together throughout the whole distance, crossing the tape with Robins of Wesleyan in the lead and Sparks, Trinity's captain, and Meeker of Wesleyan close behind in the order named . This was not encouraging, and when 'Veslcyan took both first and second in the half-mile run, and first and third in the pole vault, things looked black indeed. Still, the Trinity contingent kept up hope, for the bicycle race was coming, ancl they looked for a sure first and second in that. And indeed for three laps it looked as if they were safe in their prophecy, for 'White set a fast pace and Cole clung to his hind wheel like a leech. At the last lap White fell back and allowed Cole to spurt past him, but being used to a hard and even track, the latter was a little out of the way in his calculations and could only make second place. The iVesleyan riders claimed a foul on him, however, which was allowed. and the three points which he had earned by the most skillful riding under hard conditions were taken away. The 440 yards dash was the prettiest race of the day, and a fine exhibition of head work on the part of Capt. Sparks. At the start, Hicks took a good lead and drew ahead of the rest, but the iVesleyan men, fearing Sparks' past record in the quarter, stuck close

by bb side, intending to beat him out at the finish on a spurt. Sparks saw their little game at once, and held back until Hicks had a clear lead of ten or fifteen yards, then with a beautiful burst of speed he left the two Wesleyan men, and crossed the line close after Hicks. This added eight points to Trinity's total at one blow, and the Hartford contingent went wild. The 220 yards dash and the shot-putting were counterbalanced by Wesleyan 's thirteen points in the mile walk and mile run, but the red and black added a few more to their already large enough lead by taking first and third place in the hammer throw. Still, the men kept their spirits and their grit, antl with never a show of giving in, Baxter, 路woodle, and Littell went into the high jump as fresh as at the beginning of the day. It took scarcely five minutes to settle this event, for all the Wesleyan men dropped out at 5 ft. 3 in. The three Trinity men cleared the bar without trouble at 5 ft. 3t in., but wisely refrained from jumping it off, saving themselves for what was to come. This certainly bettered the condition of things very materially, and when White came in second in the two-mile run after an exceptionall y plucky race, when one point was all that was expected, we knew that we had a good fighting chance. Then Baxter came to the front with five points in the broad jump, another pleasant surprise, and the score stood 64 to 53 against us. Only two events were now left, the 120 and 220 yards hurdle races, and out of a possible eighteen points remaining, Wesleyan required but four to win. This meant that Trinity must take both first and second in both races, for as each side had entered only two contestants in each, Wesleyan was sure of at least a third in both races. so that a second place in addition would give them the day. Could our men do it? It was a good deal to ask of them, and although every one knew them to be men more likely to do well in an emergency than on ordinary occasions , their endurance might not h old out. The 120 yards hurdle came first, and sure enough at the head of the little knot of four runners was Baxter keeping an even stride ann taking the hurdles in easy form. He crossed the finish first without much trouble, and Littell followed close behind. Still we were safe, and eight more points to our credit. But there were eight yet to be won, and if at the very last we could not make them-- At the sound of the pistol for the start in the 220 hurdle, every one held his breath. At first it was impossible to distinguish one from another. But soon a white shirt with blue and gold sash could be seen bobbing up and dowu a little in the lead, and all knew that Sparks was sure of his part. But still the fate of the day hung on the two men who were coming up behind, Baxter of Trinity and North of Wesleyan. ntil the last few hurdles were reached, they were neck and neck; then Baxter slowly cra\vled ahead and with an effort that took every remaining ounce of strength cleared the last hurdle and sprinted across the tape ahead. With a wild howl the crowd rushed out on the track, and before Sparks and Baxter had a chance to stop running they were caught up and rushed away to their quarters amid a perfect storm of cheers. This ends the account. There were the usual scenes of excitement that accompany any victory, intensified in this case by the delight over finally winning when hope was almost gone, and pride in the pluck and endurance of the team. There were two Trinity records broken, which is remarkable considering the nature of the ground. Baxter made 9ft. 7t in. on the pole vault, which is tin. better than the old record. Baxter also broke the 120 yards hurdle. covering the distance in r 7} seconds. This is faster time by r} seconds than anything previously done at Trinity. Following is a complete record of the events with the winners and time in each. 233

The Valedictorian ((M

Bond has stepped out; he will return in a few minutes. Take a chair and wait for him," said the clerk. So the Valedictorian waited. He was rather short and slight, pale-faced, and with deep-set earnest eyes. Having obtained the highest honors that the little world of cdlege could accord, he was quite sure that his energy and talents would enable him to outstrip all competitors in the larger arena of life which he bad now entered. Conceited? Not at all. He was simply conscious of his own powers. He did not try to conceal his self-confidence, and it sometimes gained him the reputation of vanity ; but it 路was far different from idolatrous egotism. He must now learn to support himself, for his father bad died when Larned was in his senior year, and bad left a widow and four children in rather straitened circumstances. Tom Greathead bad been a classmate of Mr. Bond at college, and for that reason his sou bad come to seek a situation under the wealthy banker. Larned had drunk deeply of the fountain of knowledge, but collegiate training too often fails to teach the art of earning one's living, so Larned

bad not the slightest notion of how business was conducted. He could give the prepositions that govern the dative and accusative in German and in Latin, but he would have been unable to distinguish between a note and a check. The clerk who had just spoken to him was poring over a sheet of paper covered with figures. When the Valedictorian asked what he was doing, he was startled by the reply: " Making out averages.' ' Some days afterwards Larned learned that this task consisted in calculating the average balances of the various depositors. His present speculations as to what kind of a marking system prevailed in banks were interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Bond. The banker looked the youth over sharply. "So you're Larned Greatbead; and you want a job?" "Yes, sir,'' replied the Valedictorian," I am endeavoring to secure a situation." "\Vel!. we're pretty well provided with help just now, but I guess we can keep you busy," said Mr. Bonn. Larned was soon poring over a mass of figures, and his head began to ache. The columns never would add the same twice, and when he had "路orked for an hour to make his sheet come right, the other clerk, with a superior smile, straightened matters out in five minutes. When the Valedictorian was asked to write a business letter, the purport of which was outlined, be wrote it correctly, yet so involve<! by circumlocution, as to be utterly useless. One day , a German letter came to the office, and it was handed to the

new clerk, on the ground that be would be able to read it. " No ," be said, in that deliberate and painfully correct way of speaking he bad, " I can't translate those idiomatic expressions. I never studied German at college any more than was prescribed. I didn't have time to spare for another language, while taking Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and S anskrit. " The other clerk whistled softly, but made no comment. However, the Valedictorian had learned bow to learn, and after a few months, his painstaking thoroughness won him the respect of his fellow clerks and the esteem of his employer. It was not through brilliancy or marked talent in any particular line, that he had attained the first rank at college, but by systematic industry in all that he undertook, and this same methodical carefulness was brought into play in his business relations, though be was never a very rapid workman. One day, Miss Dora Bond called to see her father, and it fell to Larned to perform some trifling politeness for her. After that, when she called, he often conversed with her while she was waiting for Mr. Bond to conclude a private interview. In course of time, her visits came to be longed for, and the days which her smiling" Good morning, Mr. Greatbead," brightened, lived long in his memory. He was flattered by her condescension, while she was secretly amused by his slow, correct periods. But how did she regard his evident admiration? Ah, who shall fathom a woman's heart? It knows no law; the currents which govern it may not be detected by a masculine galvanoscope. At any rate, she so manipulated matters, that her father invited Larned to dinner, though Mr. Bond thonght he was only acting out of consideration for his classmate's son, but thns devions is feminine craft. If the banke r considered the possibility of an attachment, he dismissed it as absnrd, for his daughter wonld remember her position and not throw herself away on a clerk ; while the clerk would remember what he was, and check any aspirations he might have for such a matrimonial prize, as the only danghter of a millionaire. Larned came, saw the charmer in evening dress, and was conqnered. Soon he was calling regularly on Dora. His faultless diction, his prosy comment, began to pall on her, yet she endured, for she had brought this on herself. So she smiled sweetly , as Larned unfolded the intricacies of the Greek verb; and she agreed with him unquestioningly, when he expressed a wish that women wonld cease clamoring for their rights and quietly sink back into the domestic oblivion with which they were content in the age of Pericles. Nor did she ntter the thought that sometimes occurred to her, that th e sentiments of women in those days have never been recorded, so perhaps they were not contented. 243

She was beginning to ask herself how all this would end. She found the Valedictorian's grave, respectful admiration, which was evident, thou路gh unspoken, very pleasant. He would propose to her, for such was his worldly inexperience that be never dreamed such a union might not be advisable. If she refused him, be probably would not blow his brains out, but his calls would cease, and she would lose the pleasure of witnessing his devotion. She might accept him, and what would happen then? Her father would cast her off, and discharge his clerk, and they would be thrown on the world penniless. Then, some day, she aml Larned would come to her father's house, bathed in. tears, and clothed in rags. He would have pity on them, fall on their necks, say " God bless you, my children," and all would be well. But that was a false dream. She knew her father's unyielding nature. Well, she must let it go on, and use all her skill to prevent the young man voicing his sentiments. One day, a clerk at the bank remarked to Larned (it was not true, but Larned was 'c redulous), "I hear Miss Bond is to be married soon." Larned's fascination for Dora had not escaped the cynical eyes of the other clerks, and they were rather jealous of the privileges accorded the Valedictorian. Lm路ned called on Dora that night, and was first astonished, then delighted, and finally saddened, by her gracious demeanor. At first he thought it genuine encouragement, then be remembered what the clerk! had said!, and thought, "She doesn't mean anything at all or dream that I care for her." Finally his feelings were so wrought upon, that he determined to declare himself and learn. his fate. But she never gave him the chance; so he departed in an agonized frame of mind. The next day, Dora received the 拢ol1owing letter. written in the ponderous style of aJ college theme: Mv

DEAR

Mrss BoND :

Aristotle* tells us that woman was designed for the purpose of giving man a weaker being to protect, and thus developing an instinct of chivalry in him. In other words, it was not intended that woman should live alone, thougll she forms a beautiful ornament in a man's household. Now, a woman not eminently !1.aJDdsome or accomplished is, perhaps, justified in remaining single, for such a one cannot lend grace to a borne; but it would seem that a person of your attractions li.ad a> peculiar vocation for matrimony. So I have concluded to ask you to allow me to be your protector through the stormy ocean of life's pathway, for better or worse. Please answer at once. L. G .

This missive was not answered; but two days after, Larned received anJ adVantageous offer from a St. Paul firm, which he accepted. The last I heard of hillll, he was about to wed a school-teacher, a graduate of Vassar, five years his senior.

W. C. W.

* I have

been unable to find this sentiment in Aristotle. - Eo. 250

Friends said he was a genius in a histrionic way ; They said he'd make a howling hit if he would only play. Then they egged him on to act, and he heeded what they said; Thought he could bring the houses down, and he did-upon his head.

For his foes joined in the egging till he fainted in a fit, And all that saw that play agreed, he was a lw·wling !tit. H.

An Old Song Q NE winter's day I

sauntered into the second-hand shop where I was accustomed to go

~ on cold evenings and talk with my old friend ~fichael, the proprietor. At this particular moment he was busy with a customer, talking in a low and earnest manner, so, while waiting for him to conclude his business I went to the door and watched the hurrying crowds pass to aud fro; for it was nearly Christmas time and everyone . eemed to be busy. Near the door at the right was a table covered with odds and ends of old and faded sheet music and above them the sign "Five cents each." Carelessly glancing over the collection suddenly my heart ceased beating as I caught sight of the title, .fo vi7'o et t'amo. Again I stood in that old familiar room; the soft notes of the piano stole dreamily upon my ear. The slow, graceful figure of a girl moved gently before me, her blushing face upturned, a white rose nestling in her hair. And we sang once more together Campana's sweet duet. Softly the words fell from her lips, .fo vivo et t'amo , I live and love thee. Our voices faltered, her brimming eyes met mine. Bending low, our faces touched. Julie smiled. Then the happy vision was dispelled. I stood in a darkened room. Before me, in a bank of flowers, rested a figure draped in snowy white, - still as marble, the waxen fingers clasped upon her breast, the pale face calm and peaceful beneath its crown of chestnut hair, where gently rested a white rose. I bent over her and again our faces met and a soft voice echoed in my heart, "I live and love thee still." Again the store. My hand still held the music, Michael's customer was departing and the proprietor was engaged in lighting up his dingy lamps. The weird light caused me to shudder. I looked down and saw the table with the sign" Five cents each." Moved by sudden impulse, I said, " I will take this." As I turned away I examined the title leaf, now faded by exposure and by time. In the upper corner, scarcely legible, I found the name- Julie Randolph. H. D.P.

Indian Summer

The slant sun shines through golden air, From south ern skies his radiance sending, O 'er sober fields and tree-tops bare A glory with a shadow blending. 'Tis not the fierce and ardent blaze That poured from August skiei> its splendor, But, mellowed by an opal haze, A brightness softer and more tender.

Departing Autumn, lingering, throws A silken veil o'er hill and meadow, Antl each enchanted distance shows A fairy scene half-hid in shadow. H. D.P.

JOHNSON'S UNIVERSAL GYCLOP JEDIA NEW EDITION JUST COMPLETED.

Professor HART says: GLADLY recommend JoHNSON's UNIVERSAL CYCLOP/拢DIA for the purposes for which the ordinary reader needs a full and ready book of reference; and I recommend it to the student who wishes to pursue his investigations into further details, its bibliographical notes appearing to be of great 路service in this regard. It is not to be expected that, at least before the publication of the results of the next census, there cau be a more serviceable Cyclopredia for us in this country.

I

Ct.

Professor MARTIN says: is very important for every one to IT have at hand, where it may be consulted when the question arises, an encyclopredia representing the best and latest information. It is especially important for the student as training him to the habit of inquiry. I know of no work of the kind better adapted for the general and student's library than JoHN SO N's UNIVERSAL CvcLOPfEDIA in its admirable last e1iition. I use it myself every day and with ever increasing appreciation.

Every article signed by the writer. Full set delivered on very easy terms of payment. Specimen pages sent free.

HE CONNECTICUT MUTUAL renews its plea for pure life insurance; that men whose families need it buy the only thing a life insurance company can really give, the full, absolute, and simple protection needed; that they cease to gamble with it or to try to make a speculation out of it; and to all such the company offers its best and most sincere endeavor, illustrated by its unparalleled record of fifty years.
