The experience of the '98 Board has doubtless been similar to that of its predecessors. We have made like searches for things original, have made like resolves and have met like disappointments. Yet We feel that in one particular We may justly bc proud. Starting in our work late and being prevented by unforeseen circumstances from organizing at once, We nevertheless made the resolve that the HAMILTONIAN should appear early. This resolve has been carried out. We hope that the HAMILTONIANS of the future will appear still earlier in the year. This change in the date of issuing has necessarily excluded some college organizations and some material. We have doubtless fallen into errors and We cannot expect to have pleased all, but We have worked faithfully, and we are but human. The 798 Board sends greeting to all. To our Alumni we would say that We hope that in these pages there may be found something to remind of the college days of old, something that will help to keep aflame the fires of love for our common mother and loyalty to her cause. Hamilton is alive, and we have many reasons to look for a future more bright even than our glorious past. 6 To our fellow-students we trust we have in no way given offence, but only added to the spirit of unity and good-fellowship which should exist in a college of the size of Hamilton. But to the men of '98 we particularly address ourselves. This book is yours. Our chief desire is that our production may be one which represents the class g one which in future years will call up pleasant memories of those happy days when we were all on the hill togetherg one Which Will bring to mind not the petty jealousies and quarrels, but incidents in which we were united-united as a band of Workers, having at heart the advancement and prosperity of good old Hamilton. S 2,45 f xx 7 Viet. iiliiiiam Pierce Slieeard, Pt. D. Nvnvnvfvv ILLIAM Pierce Shepard was born in the city of Utica, N. Y., onus the 9th of June, 1870. His primary education was received ine the public schools of that place. Being studiously inclined he made- good use of his opportunities, and graduated at the Utica Academy a 'dne student of the classics, but with so strong a bias toward the sciences that prophetic voices told of a coming scientist. In '87 he entered Hamilton College with the Glass of '91, and cast his lot with his best- friend from the Acad emy in the Delta Upsilon Fraternity. It was a. severe siege of typhoid fever in the winter of 'SS-9 that compelled him. to lose a year of work and to drop back with '92. If 391 had given Shepard a strong sentiment of loyalty to Class, '92s prompted him to greater exertion in the class-room. He graduated, recognized both by Faculty and by his thirty-eight classmates as superior in ability, in a group of ten high-honor men, with the department honor in French. He had taken fdrst prizes in French and in German, and second in Chemistry, all in exceptionally hard contests. Application, combined with brilliancy and a splendid memory, favored him. Not. given much to athletics, and little known among the social circles in Clinton, he was nevertheless popular with his college mates. He never- failed to take a hand where whist was the order 5 and to this day is sought for in the best whist circles. He took great delight in hunting and fishing, and his long tramps aiforded him sought for opportunities for enjoying nature. As a student he was always considerate of the rights of his fellows, and the fagging system, at the time so strong in Hamilton, found no supporter in him. 8 Through the efforts of Mr. E. P. Powell, of College Hill, Mr- Shepard was retained in the College after graduation as Curator of the Cabinet of Natural History, 792-3. During the year he also pursued studies in Philology and Biology for the degree of A. M., presenting' theses, which have been preserved in the College Library, on The Structure of End-buds in Fishes, and HA Study of the Vowels in the Ohazzsonr de Roland. ln commenting upon the latter Work, Professor Brandt said that it was fully equal to many theses presented in this or any foreign country for the degree of doctor of philosophy. During the spring term Mr. Shepard was given additional work by the College as Instructor in Botany, and became a member of the Faculty. On the 22d of February, 18510, Mr. Shepard received the degree of Ph. D., magna cum laude, at Heidelberg, Where, under Professors Osthoff and Neumann, he had pursued his favorite study of Philology since the fall of '93. The subject of the thesis presented by him at this time Was, A Contribution to the History of the Unaccented Vowels in Old French. He also heard several lectures at the Sorbonne, Paris, and spent some time in Florence, Italy, studying Italian. At Heidelberg he was a member of' the student association, .LV-8Zl-.PlLZAtUlOff'Z'SC7LC'7' Ve?-ein. In the spring of 796 Dr. Shepard returned to Hamilton College to- assist in the department of modern languages as Associate Professor of French, Italian and Romance Philology. This position he is abundantly able to ill, and it is an open secret that the students admire his work and respect and love the man. The HABIILTONIAN desires to pay him the highest compliment in its power, and is glad also to present to its readers his photograph, which. appears as the frontispiece of this volume. 9 1897. Jan. 6.

M f Chapel Seats N editor of the H:X3Il.Il'IONI.XN has been glaring vinclictively at me across the Chapel seats every morning of late, and has been making oifensive gestures to remind me that I promised him this article two Weeks ago. I go out of Chapel before he does, and by hurrying away in abusiness-like manner I have contrived to escape him. Bnthe comes around a corner unexpectedly to-day, so here I am in the Chapel trying to write something about the class of ninety-seven. It won't be a history, for the class of ninety-seven has not been making history. We have done our work and had our fun just as many another class has done before us. We do not boast because we have made a good record in scholarship, nor because we have always backed the College loyally in all her undertakings, for surely every class ought to do as much. We would be remembered as a good all-around classg a crowd of fellows who stood together for Old Hamilton . But though to outsiders our class may seem a good deal like its predecessors, for us the small incidents that make up our life here, give it an unmistakable individuality. As I sit here on the cushion that has been hollowed out by many generations of Seniors, and lean up against the bear-box, the scenes of past years come back to me very vividly. Over there beside the pink pillar is where I sat Freshman year. For alphabetical reasons I was the first Freshman to leave the Chapel on the morning of that day when '96 and '97 first met in deadly grapple. And I Well remember that Saturday noon a little later when I was on with 19 an essay. How long that aisle seemed. It has taken me four yearslto move the length of it, from the pillar to the bear-box, and though I Wouldn't go back again to that seat under the gallery which I came near buying of a Sophomore for two dollars, still I expect to experience a hollow feeling at the pit of the stomach when for the last time I walk out of Chapel between the waiting rows of those who are eager to take our places. I overheard a Junior the other day plotting to get my seat next year. I wish him luck. It is a good seat, for it is far enough from the window to be out of the draft, and at the same time is not so near the pulpit as to make it impracticable for him to solace himself either with Morpheus or Archibald Clavering Gunter. May he enjoy the seat as much as I have, and as he sits there may he in his waking moments think of me, for at that time I shall be sitting in a freshman seat of that bigger chapel, whose aisle is long, and veiled at both ends. ll , f 20 Selviorf Glass Class Motto Xziopcg Xcipw 'l'z'lcreL.

We agree with Square in this, we but intend 11ot to leave anything unsaid of all the exciting historical events of three years. , , , ,, OUIC b'0ClI!0lllE'l' an Thus closed our history last year and we are still able to say it, though only ourselves and the faculty have known how often we might 'well have changed it to moraturi salutamus. But three years have passed .and we are not dead yet-quid istic? We began well, forty-four strong, counting Hill and Magilton. We met the Sophomores that Thursday morning in September of ,9-L, nor did -experience win the day. Who of us can ever forget the row by Pills, under the maples, or the mad rush through the arbor, where Darling hugged the gutter and Gideon charged with patriarchal zeal. Hallow- eenv and its attendant circumstances still lingers in the memory. The number of the crowd was the Jonah. Thirteen worked hard that night -and the Chapel seats came out and were carried away. But when Babcock appeared on the scene in ghostly night-robe and carrying a -smoking lamp, we knew the game was up. Yet Prex. gave us a long 'fspeelv the next day and pardoned the offenders. But he was only dreaming then, for two days later We were marched by threes into the faculty 1'oom and our doom Was pronounced-discipline warnings. We have cost the faculty more expense for warnings than any othereclass 25 since PreXy's accession lo the mitre. Our canes were stolen, that is true, though we won the cane rush and were satislied. No Hag ever hung on the flag pole to our discredit. Only one was ever raised, but Jack brought that down and divided the spoils with. Slip. But there is another side of college life in which ninety-eight has not been remiss. That is bohning. Old Hops has been heard to remark that ninety-eighL's learning cannot be measured by a mental comparison but by horse power. Fen Couper used to think the same -and once told us not to bring the animal into the class room. But thus the Greeks conquered Troy, and we have beaten the best of the Greeks at their own game. We knew the classics so well that Old Greek cut us for two solid weeks and Hops used to take the recitation hour in delivering lectures on borrowing money from a man and then knocking him down-HB. GY, was our favorfte. He thought to intimidate us by threats. It didn't work, but he kept his word and we had no prize speakers freshmen year. Our star has shone brighest in the social side of college sport. The Freshmen Frolicw at the Opera House, our first appearance as hosts, was a typical class success. Our Sophomore Hop stands unsurpassed as a college dance. We had more charming girls, more good cheer and more lively fellowship than the Gym has known in years. Then our Prom. was without a parallel for its select crowd and unlimited jollity. The crowd was more select than the committee had anticipated. We have passed through Prexyis Purge and Old Hop's Thorough, we have impressed B. G. and Bib in ways not to be forgotten. We have made a mark too deep to be washed out. We are proud of ourselves and of dear Old Hamilton . Our only hope is that a few be saved for still another year. 26 flair-pier Gloss NVNVNVNV Class Motto TD vdfuoya rjzipravov do Class Colors CH ERRY-R ED AND LEMON. Class Yell HIP-Hoo-RAH!

's Q 5 U , 0 K K U I 5 N-47 H q - Sophomore Gloss I-lislzorfel HE history of the Sophomore Class is the recital of deeds Well done. '99 has made a name for itself in every branch of college life. One of the largest classes that ever entered Hamilton, we are of the strongest. Our strength is in every way proportionate to our size. Since we came to college there have been three college field days. Three times '99 has triumphed on track and field. ' Last spring We gave ive men to the college nine and Won the class -championship of the college. Last fall We had six men on the eleven. The track and base ball captains are both of the Sophomore Classy a fact which shows that our merit in these branches is acknowledged. Mathematics is an exact scienceg some of us found it out by original research. By means of mathematics and marks, the faculty has discovered that '99 is the most scholarly class in college. When standing was posted last fall and it was seen that '99 had twenty-four men at honor grade or better, the college acknowledged our abilities in the line of -college work. The social side of the Sophomore Class is prominent. Other classes have not interfered with our banquets and they have been very enjoyable eaifairs. Our Sophomore Hop was a great success. Many have pronounced it the best Sophomore in the history of the college. By it we demonstrated -our readiness and ability to give and to support a college dance. During our course we, as a class, have had no serious troubles with 31 the faculty. We have laughed cheerfully at Square's old jokes. We came in time to catch a last fragment from Hops and we have lately obtained a few from Bib, all of which were received with due ceremony. A few of us have endured Higbeeg some have had Little Greek? Even Owen and Bonner have learned a little something and have not yet been dropped. Strange things have happened in some of our dealings with the faculty, many great changes have been effected. A1't'7 is working for the 'fmathi' prize, while Rich is going in for Dutch.', Considering its size, '99's strong point is in its unity. The class stands now, and has stood since the day it entered college, as one man. The members of the Sophomore Class are good fellows and among them good-fellowship prevails. Above scholarship and athletic merit, a class is known in college by its spirit and '99 has been and will be known, by its spirit of good-fellowship. We are not yet half through our course. Other histories of the class will be written, and to the later historians, we leave the task of chronicling the future successes of '99, satisfied that they will be many, and that the task will be well done. 32 SOI?I?0l'7'20I'7E3 Class Class Motto r7rrovc5aT0L TQ a2xfr0eiq.

H X MI' Lodge i Hislzoleg ol? the Freshman Gloss V V v V Ol' long ago the Class of 1900, of which I am a member, held a. meeting in the Stone Church. fThis is the only place where the Sophomores will not disturb us.l It is the only meeting we have ever held, and at that meeting every one present voted to have me as historian for the Freshman Class. Of course the election made me very happy, and although only a Freshman I shall try to tell truly the things that have happened to the Glass. It will not be possible to detail every event of our memorable existence, and so only the most noteworthy will be mentioned. One of the most impressive incidents in our short life occurred on the day following the entrance examination to this large school. It happened upon that eventful day when we made our appearance on this ancient hillside? CWe take these words from our President.l In fact. we refer to the first walk to morning Chapel and what came after it. How vivid in the memory of every Slimer is that Hrst morning! It. recalls the strange feeling that came upon us as we neared the Chapel, and all around saw large groups of strange, stalwart men. It may have been caused by the fact that a few days before coming on to school we had laid aside our kilt skirts and had proudly donned our trousers for the first time. Anyway everyone was looking at us, and whatever the reason, it made us feel faint, it made us cling closer to our papa's side and grasp their hands the tighter. The men standing about made remarks to us, tat least so our papas 39 told us,j but We were so frightened and felt so strange that we did not hear them . When the Chapel bell ceased ringing the room was full of men, and as We were ignorant the men in front told us when to get up and when to sit down again. Just as we reached the outside of the building these same men rushed upon us and threw us down, and some of us had our panties badly stained by the grass. Ever since then those men have troubled us and We do not think they are very nice. One day we played a game of base ball with the Sophomores. During the game some of our boys were carried off and we did not see them until the next morning. QWe did not go out much nightsj They said they had a nice time and also had some real nice milk to drink, out of a bottle just like the one they used at home. In the winter we played snow ball with each other, and had a good deal of fun. One day we became uneasy in Chapel, for it was past the time for our nap, and made some noise with our feet when the men were speaking. The teacher told us it was not nice for such little boys to make so much noise, so now We try to be very quiet. We thought that we might carry some canes this term, but the Sophomores told us they would take them away from us, so we decided it would be nice not to have any. As we hinted at the beginning of this historyfthere have been a good many events during our short life, but most of them have happened to us. We have not done much of ourselves. Sometime we hope to do something. We shall all be very happy when school closes and we will not have a chance to be homesick any more. Then, too, We may wear green neckties and drink all the milk we Wish. If ever our class does anything itself it will be gladly recorded by the historian.

Clinton Binghamton Clinton Truck Zllzlfpleties IT has been claimed that for the past few years interest in track athletics at Hamilton has been deadg perhaps not dead but at least dormant. Able attempts have been made to arouse the old athletic enthusiasm. These attempts have been doomed to failure because they were not seconded by the enthusiasm and interest of the whole College. Foot ball and base ball, where the honor of Hamilton is at stake, never fail to arouse enthusiasm. These games have absorbed all the interest of the College and it is right that they should do so 3 they mean something,- victory or defeat to the College. Our experience in recent years has given most conclusive proof that competition between the classes, cannot, of itself, maintain a sturdy athletic spirit. Previous to Hamilton's withdrawal from the Inter-col- legiate League, track athletics received an abundant share of the atten- tion of the College. The inter-collegiate competition furnished incentive to train. Faithful work was done by every available athlete and the efforts made at that time were rewarded by winning several pennants and breaking six inter-collegiate records. Our history in the past is a glorious one. Our history of the future remains to be made, but history repeats itself. We believe that under the same conditions and under the influence of college enthusiasm, that victories as glorious as those of the past await us. They can be won only by the unanimous and united effort of the College. The withdrawal of Hamilton from the lnter-collegiate League was the 85 only honorable course that she could take. The circumstances and reasons of the withdrawal are familiar to all. The treatment which Hamilton received at the hands of some of her friends had reached that point beyond which even toleration could not go. Impure athletics were connived at, and the end justiied the means, questionable or other- wise. The control of the management by students alone proved insuffi- cient and irresponsible. Four of the six colleges in the League recognized the weaknesses existing and inherent in it, and severed their connections with that association. The 1'esult of their action has been the formation of the New York State Inter-collegiate Athletic Union between Hamilton, Colgate, Union and Hobart. This Union comprises the whole body of each college, undergraduates, faculties and alumni. It is hoped that this organization will make the Union more stable and responsible than merely a league of undergraduates. A glance at the constitution will convince any one that impure athletics will be impossible under the elaborate provisions against them. Each college is represented on the Central Advisory Board by three members, an undergraduate, a member of the faculty and an alumnus. Foot ball, base ball and track athletics are each under the control of the Union. It is expected that the Union will satisfy a long-felt want of Hamilton. and that the inter-collegiate competition will provide incentives for honest work and hard training. This spring opens with the brightest prospects for Hamilton. We have the opportunity of establishing our prominence on the athletic Held, we have the example of the past and the hope of a more brilliant future, we have the incentive for which we have been ask- ing and the enthusiasm of the college and it is our honest conviction that We have material for athletes who can set the Blue and Buffi' flying in triumph on the athletic field. 86 , ' s , ,'l xl 1 xv' S - x el F 1-gm ff, I ' 5 f -- M --'F 'Ti Dx - .- -T -',-' 1-Zi, --'rf Q N ,+'..: I oo Au L. Foot-Bull Nur-'Mv bv NAr HE foot-ball season of 1896 was one upon which Hamilton may congratulate herself. With a team ranking in weight far below any that opposed us, we closed the season with but one defeat upon our record. Our team was light, but none ever went from this hillside to fight the battles of Hamilton with such thorough and scientific training. Never was there a clearer illustration of the proverb that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. It is natural and right that we should rejoice in our success, and look with pride upon the team that won for us the victory. But in the flush of triumph let us not forget the lessons of the pastg let us remem- ber the defeats so recent incur mindsg and, while giving all honor to the spirit that, two years ago, struggled on undaunted and undismayed in the face of defeat, let us bear in mind that enthusiasm, no less than muscle, is a condition of success, and' that the solid support of every man in college goes farther than mere weight toward making a winning team. The improvement in athletics at Hamilton during the past two years is encouraging. It is a token that Hamilton is slowly, but none the less certainly, regaining the high place which she formerly held among the colleges of the State. p But there is yet room for improvement. The team last fall was successful. Some of the teams which we defeated were strong teams. But the coming contest is to be a 'riercer one. With the formation of the new Inter-Collegiate Union we are to enter into compe- 87 tition with colleges much larger than Hamilton, colleges that have sent forth, and undoubtedly will continue to send forth, teams stronger than any we have met for many years. The struggle will be not merely for victory in each game, but for the championship of the Union. We shall enter the contest under circumstances that promise Well. There is a momentum in success. The team will lose but few of its members. Let us go in to win with the assurance that conscientious and Well directed training, the sympathy and support of the College, and Hamilton pluck will not fail of their reward.

Not for several years has there been in college better material for a team, more enthusiasm among the candidates and evidence of more hearty support on the part of the College. This year a coach has been secured for our team and every effort is being made to train a nine that will do us honor. We are to meet some strong teams this seasong will have met some before this .article is read, and Whether defeat or victory is in store for us, We believe we may place the fullest confidence in the team to do its best. Our loss has been small and our gain comparatively great since last year, so that with the added material and good training there is every reason to look for a strong team. Even should we look farther into the future at the team of '98 We may congratulate ourselves that even then our ranks promise to be Well filled, since the team is with: one exception composed of men from the three under classes. . Hamilton has records in the past which we may Well look back upon with pride, and with the new impulse given us by the formation of the new league We are going to carry the Blue and Buff to the front. To do this we must give the team our most loyal support. Let us attend every game, encouraging the players in defeat and cheering them in victory. 91 Q Q, QQ? SSW? QQ?

Priomerpdcle HEN the historian of our College shall Write the story of that eventful Week when ninety-eight gave her Junior Prom. he will tell of weeping, of curses loud and deep, of the despair of creditors, of the happiness of guests and the thousand and one things that went to make our dance pre-eminently the iinest and most complete ever given in Hamilton and one also that was the most expensive for the committee. There was a time in the history of the Prom. Committee when they wished, individually and collectively, that they were dead. One member even went so far as to Withdraw his face from our midst for a time. To the kind friends and relatives of this ill-fated committee some explanation -of this statement is due. Imagine the throes of anguish that we felt when only thirty-nine tickets were sold, when a Freshman ran away with the patronesses' carriage, when the iiowers for those kind ladies were delivered thoughtfully the morning cqfteo- the dance, when we gazed upon the broad expance of unpaid bills and uneaten supper. In truth that was a time to try men's souls. Still it was a good dance. The appointments were perfect, the music such as only Gioscia can play and the supper eatablc. What more could be asked for when to these attractions are added the kind patronesses and the pretty girls who always grace the dances of '98? And this is all that there is to be said about the Prom.-our Prom. ? Oh no, pages could be filled with glowing accounts of what our justly famed Junior Was. But let the reader whose imagination fails, come to our Senior and see for himself all of the unequalled attrations of a '98 dance. To those interested in the fate of the committee we would say that our bills are paid although Mrs. Kelly and our other creditors are still out in the cold of the world. Neither have we died, our member, removed from us by illness after that eventful night, is with us again, and the rest of us though poor in pocket are still proud in the knowledge that our Prom ., like the class that gave it, will long be remembered in the history of Hamilton as terms synonomous with the best that can be had in any and all directions . 105 X 5 L fizfwl 1 I 14, X52 X 'Vive Solvlvemelfle I-lop 'V- 'V- 'V V- CLASS OF '98 At the Sopcr Gymnasium, February 12, 1896 MRS.

HOWARD HOLMES 109 Gas Firveslvmczm Frfolic INCE we, the class of ninety-eight, were enrolled in the fall of ninety-four, we have been famed for our originalty and for our quickness to follow good precedents. So when we learned soon after our ent1'ance into college life, that the class of ninety-seven had made a new departure by giving a formal reception in Scollard Opera House during the previous year, we determined to prove to those disrespectful and disdainful sophomores, that although freshmen, we could show them a thing or two, in the social line. We accordingly appointed a committee composed of representative men of the class, of which our Bob was the life and moving spirit, with instructions to show ninety-seven how it ought to be done. How well the committee succeeded in its eiorts was proved by the charming scene which greeted the eye upon entering the hall, and by the many complimentary remarks showered upon its members upon their success as social directors. The upper classmen supported the aifair nobly-in fact the gentlemen .outnumbered the ladies to such an extent, that the novel sight of the upper classmen dancing together was not an uncommon one. Altogether the dance was a great success, socially and financially, and when the hour for breaking up arrived, all agreed that ninety-eight's ability in entertaining as in every thing else, was unquestioned. 110 Tlfpe Sophomore I-lop wf-'www CLASS or '99 Super Gymnasium, February 18th, 1897.

The moonlight did not silhouette against the snow-clad hill the sleighs that traveled to and frog nor did the stars shine brightly in the clear, cold air. Venus and the rest had hidden, as if in jealous anger, behind a low, black cloud from which the snow-flakes fluttered noiselessly. But no one lamented the unpoetic state of the elements. The Soper -Gymnasium with its brilliantly lighted hall seemed all the more cheerful by comparison with the outer gloom. The trailing draperies of blue and buff, the national and College Hags, hanging side by side and inter- mingling their folds in fond fellowship, the sofas and window-seats piled high with many colored pillows 5-all served to give the scene a radient beauty which was only rivaled by the more kaleidoscopic effect of the brilliantly attired dancers. From the moment that the inspiring strains of Espanita fioated out from the bank of evergreens which concealed the orchestra, until the closing notes of the last two-step had died away, the old walls smiled upon a -spectacle of unequalled gaiety and joy. The dance had been a complete success g the adieus were said to the patronessesg and tired but happy We sought the carriages waiting at the doors. Nature seemed to have repented of her harshness, for the clouds had cleared away and the snow rested white and fleecy on every side. Restlessly the sleigh-bells tinkled, Morning tinged the Blast: with light, Ealing stars looked down and twinkled As we paused to say Good night. 113 '98 Gloss Boryslclelz The Butterfield, Utica, October 14, 1895.

The Sophomore Borvsldelz 'V 'V- 'V Xr ,T the end of a College year one naturally looks back with varying H emotions on his College experiences during the three terms just passed. The honors gained, the failures made and the pleasures enjoyed are all reviewed. Memory, however, lingers most pleasantly on the many good timesi' which are so characteristic of College life and which serve to make it the most joyous life in the world. Chief among such good times in the estimation of the Class of '99 will be their Class Banquet, held at Baggis Hotel, Utica, November 18, 1896. The committee was appointed, arrangements made, and a night set, to which the Class eagerly looked forward. Analytics, which we were just beginning, loomed up before us, dreaded and terrible. Reviews would soon begin. The Sophomore year was the hardest in College. Let there be one night, then, of unalloyed pleasure. We were a noble Class, so let us have a banquet worthy of such a Class. These were our thoughts, as, dress suit cases in hand, we marched down from the hill to the livery, singing Hamilton and '99 songs. Rumor said that the fresh- men were to be on hand to Wish us Bon voyage, as we boarded the tally-ho. As light exercise is recommended before eating we were in hopes that the rumor might be true, i also thinking that we might enjoy the banquet with better zest after having added another row to our list of Qclass victories. However, the Freshmen were as scarce as the hairs on the top of Bill Nye's head, so with nothing to molest us we mounted the tally-ho and with a rousing '99 yell were oi. 4 116 The ride to Utica, under the brightest of moon-lit skies, was a never-to-be forgotten one. The singers in the c1'oWd tuned up and melody Howed, as did likewise the contents of Art's bottle. Filled with pleasant anticipation of good things in store for us We arrived at the hotel, donned our dress suits and then came the realization. The Utica papers of the next morning mentioned the banquet, but their fragmentary accounts came far short of doing justice to the occasion. Jimmie Merwin's satirical references to the Unsalted,' and Sam and I-Ianklsv models of post prandial eloquence were not noted, neither fortunately were HG. T'sP' stories nor Abi-am's cuss Words when he saw on the menu card, his euphonious front title changed to the good old Biblical name of Abraham. Moved at length by House's and Keck's pleadings and the twelve o'clock closing clause of the Raines' bill, the tally-ho was summoned, the Dirty Four placed on top of it and the liomeward ride begun. Even before it ended Seshis head assumed 'such proportions that his hat was crowded off, and its presence in the road the next morning must have borne mute witness to our loyalty to class spirits. In due time Clinton was reached and the banqueters dispersed to their rooms, prepared, after a rest, to tackle Analytics and the approaching reviews with renewed vigor. 117 Oct. Sept. Nov Nov Feb.

No speeding moment seems a loss The While she strives to Win Some solace from the strings that cross Her Spanish mandolin. Touched by her hands the cords renew The olden plaint of love, As though the bright Sevillian blue Unclouded beamed above. And list! Her Winsome lips that part, Like petals rosy-fair, Breathe tenderly, beyond all art, An Andalusian air. There runs a thread along the theme, A glowing strand of gold, That stirs her heart to heavenly dream, And kindles all its cold. The song hath brought the rest she sought Though leagues between are long, Two lovers souls embrace in thought Begotten by the song. -CLINTON SLOLLARD 120 QCII? New Buildings -fXAr XAr-'Nnr bv MALLEST but not least let the Well-House be named,-the Memorial of '97, and by far the handsomest memento yet left by any graduating class. lt shelters the old College well, just north of Knox Hall and long dear With its old Wooden structure to those Who will never find any waters quite so cold and sweet as those which it has yielded to all our genera- tions. The structure is of stone with Wood framings in the upper part. interset with stone, the Whole capped with a shingling of cedar bark. The class is indebted to Mr. Grouge of Utica Cfllass of '70j for the artistic design and to Mr. Dellegt for its complete execution . It is to be hoped that other classes will emulate '97 in the good taste and good Will of this fine souvenir. All of us will drink their health in the best of all brewings. Last autumn the old Wooden gymnasium was removed and the hole dug for the site of the Science Hall, now erecting by the generosity of Elihu Root, Esq., '64. It is doubly alilial token,-to his College Mother, so long by him ardently served and deeply loved, and to his honored father, Oren Root, LL. D., '33, to Whose memory it will be a tribute and whose devotion not only to Mathematical but also to the Natural Sciences is thus fitly commemorated. The building is to be of stone from local quarries, preserving the native accent of all our better build- ings, and its area is ninety-five by forty-seven feet. It will be impressive 121 in its relation to the whole campus scheme, emphasizing the quadrangle idea now appearing in the treatment of the middle campus. Its three stories will provide, on the Hrst floor for the laboratories and demon- strating rooms so long needed for the department of Physics, on the second floor for three fine recitation rooms, and on the third Hoor for ample workin Biology. The architect is Thomas Hastings, son of Dr. Thomas S. Hastings, '48, and of the well-famed New York tirm of Carrere dz Hastings. A porch with four stately Huted columns, twenty-five feet high, will give dignity and beauty to the eastern facade, and the symmetry of the plans and elevation will make the building an object lesson in appropriate beauty. The building will cost 330,000. . If misfortunes come paired, so sometimes do blessings. While all of us on the hill were full of interest and satisfaction over such a token of progress, there came the announcement of the new Hall ot Languages, the gift, in the handsome sum of 325,000, of Mr. Henry H. Benedict, of the Class of '69. This will be a solid and shapely edifice of stone, in two stories, with tiled roof, affording six modern and well-appointed recitation rooms for the Ancient and Modern Languages. lt is to stand West of Silliman Hall, measuring eighty by forty feet, and its heavy arched doorway will look north. Frederick H.. Gouge, '70, is the architect. Both of these buildings are to be finished within of hard wood. Work is pushing upon them. By commencement they will be far along in elevation, and it is expected that both can be ready for occupancy by November. 'l'hese two structures are a grand beginning of what we feel sure will before long be a campus, not only of exceptional beauty of situation, but of noble and entirely adequate appointments for all our enlarging numbers and Widening work. 122 The freeing of the dormitories from recitation rooms is thus effect- ually begun. The Way is now open for the good donor Who shall add a Hall of Philosophy to stand at the north end of the quadrangle, and also for those who shall provide a Hall of Chemistry and Metallurgy, and a modern DO1'H1ltO1'y. We Wish the large-hearted men who have just made these noble and timely gifts could half know the enthusiasm and college spirit With which their liberality is appreciated, not only by the Alumni and the Faculty, but by every man of the undergraduates. These splendid advances are at once a fulfillment and a prophecy. be 1 X., K, . s f f 123 Revised Version? oli cu? ANDAL. fell that tree!

Time makes little difference with the vividness of memories of college life. They seem as near after twenty-Eve years as during the first year following graduation. When I entered Hamilton Dr. Fisher was its President. but he resigned during my senior year and Professor Brown of Dartmouth was 'chosen as his successor. The latter was a genial gentleman and a finished scholar. Mr. IAI. O. Houghton, the eminent publisher, once told me that he considered him the Iinest master of English style of any man in the United States. President Fisher I remember chiefly for the vigor of his sermons. He was a strong preacher of the old school. He -delighted in the use of his imagination, which was vivid if not always cultivated. More than any one whom I have ever known he used to try to make the students appreciate the lsngth of eternity. As I recall the birds which he sent out to carry from our earth all its grains of sand and all its drops ofi water, whose task would be ended while eternity was only begun, the Hgures seem grotesque enough, but such forms of speech were more common then than now. I-Ie made vigorous use of his handker- -chief, and the blasts of his nose still echo in my earsg but with all his eccentricities he was a man of real eloquence and great power and his .services as a preacher were always enjoyed. I cannot speak of him as a 128 Qld South teacher for l was never in his classes. I imagine, however, that he was more an orator than an instructor. Of all the men of those years I have the most vivid recollections of three professors, namely, Professors Upson, North and Root. Professor Root was one of the kindest-hearted men who ever lived, but he knew how to be severe to those who did not repay his kindness with courtesy. He had much regard for the poor mathematician, sof-lhnig as they behaved themselves, but if once they attempted the slightest disturbance they felt the steel beneath his velvet glove. There is no need that I should say anything of Professor North. He Was the same in those days that I am sure he is now. It seemed then as if he could never grow old. More than any other professor whom I have known he seemed to bein love with the studies which he taught. He was a Greek born out of due time, for which we were all grateful. His lectures were an inspiration, and to sit in his class was a liberal education. He is a true poet, a superb teacher, and a man whom every one loves. Of Professor Upson it is difficult to speak Without seeming extravagant. I doubt if any man ever connected with Hamilton College has left a more positive impression, and I have often wondered Whether it would not have been better if he had always remained in the chair of which he was so distinguished an ornament. I-Ie had the rare faculty of making men work without seeming to do so. Other strong and able men have been connected with the College, but he, I presume, more than any other has impressed his personality upon his department. When he occupied the pulpit the seats in the old chapel were full, and .there was no jumping out of the Windows-as sometimes occurred when others preached. Among the men of my own time who have distinguished themselves are the Rev. Dr. Breed, now of Pittsburg and formerly of Chicago, Professor Burdick, now of Columbia College Law School 5 Professor 129 Best, who I suppose is still living in Clinton, Professor Hopkins, who has long 'been a professor in the College in which I remember him as the best base ball player, Drs. W. M. Butler and S. H. Talcott, both of whom have been connected with the Insane Asylum at Middletown and both of whom are eminent specialists in nervous diseases. I mention last the man who was the genius of the College during all the time I knew it, and who has in him the elements of one of the greatest men our country has ever produced. I refer to Dr. James H. Ecob, who succeeded Professor Upson in Albany and who is now a pastor in Denver. Cf him Professor Park of Andover once said: H He is the nearest to my ideal of a genius of any man whom I have ever known. If his physique had been equal to his brains and heart there would have been no place in art or literature or the pulpit too large for him. He took all the prizes in literary work which any man could take, and sighed for more worlds to conquer. These are but a few of the names which occur to me as I write. At that time there were no society houses. We lodged on the hill and boarded in the town-and the memory of some of those black-strap pies lingers with me yet. Those were the days of hazing, but I am bound to say that I remember but one man being hazed who did not need it, and who was not benelited by it, although the custom was barbarous and I presume with other relics of barbarism has long since been dropped. The rushes between the Sophomores and Freshmen were also an institution, and little less brutal than a prize fight. If they have not ceased to be it is a shame to some one. The character of the College in those days was Pete. No one will ever be longer remembered than that irrepressible Irishman who used to carry the water and care for the rooms. His tongue was as sharp as a razor, and woe to that man who incurred his displeasure. I well remem- ber hearing him in the halls one day, in a peculiar tone that no one could imitate, saying as he walked backward and forward: O, B., poor 130 4 . and proud, poor and proud in Some fellows one day poured a lot of water over President Fisher and he sent Pete to find them. Peter started out, singing as he went: Boys, gc to your 1'0oms 3 I am looking for youf' If there is any heaven for witty lrishmen ff Pete must have a high place 111 it. The buildings then numbered only three dormitories, the chapel, the small museum at the rear of the chapel, and tl1e observatory. But the campus was the delight and pride of tl1e College. The general equip- ment seems primitive as compared with what it is now and what other institutions of learning possessg but if any one doubts whether good Work was then done he need only attend one of tl1e annual reunions of the Alumni in New York, where he will 'rind as many distinguished men in proportion to the number living in the city as are gathered on any -similar occasions by other institutions of learning. Those who remember Hamilton as it was rejoice in the Hamilton that is. They are proud of the success of the new President, and will never cease to love the dear ,Mother on the hill who was ever kindly and gracious and whose ministries will not be forgotten even though at the time they may have seemed iunappreciated . 131 Y r l 1 r 1 1 r I E Advance Sheets of a New Dictionary of Hamilton College Slang for the Benefit of Sub.

I-lumiltolfviolfp No, 1 HIRTY-NINE years ago, in the summer of '58, the Senior class of Hamilton College published, for the first time, a four-page annual, and sold it for five cents a copy. At the heading of the first page stood the words THE HAMILTONIAN. This was No. 1-the beginning of all those bothersome board-meetings, and the origin of that infernal question When will the Ham--? ? The illustration upon the opposite page is an exact reproduction of the Hrst page of number one, from an original copy. Few of these o1'iginals are now extant, and We Wish to express our gratitude to Professor Root, who so kindly lent us his copy for reproduction. The development of the Annual has been Wonderful. The number of pages has increased from four to two hundred. The steel engraving has supplanted the old-fashioned Wood-cut. Board covers and advertise- ments have been addedg and the Juniors instead of the Seniors now publish the book. But the fact that impresses us most is that each class during these thirty-nine years, has striven to surpass its predecessor in the excellence of its book, and that they have, in most cases, succeeded. This is per- fectly natural, but necessarily a limit must soon be reached. Whether we have surpassed our illustrious predecessor or not, is for others to decide. As to the limit, if that has been reached in the Class of '97, all we can say is that we hope we have kept up to their standard.

R. 138 B The Hczlmiliotiolv oli Prfex NV Vf'Nr V RESIDENT WILLIAMS of B---College, was a man of many noble qualities and of a brilliant mind, but he had one fault which rendered him very unpopular,-curiosity. He was continually trying to to spy into imaginary secrets, and to ferret out crimes which had never been committed. His house was next to the chapel and aiorded him abundant opportunity to exercise his paternal surveillance of the students on the hill. But his curiosity once led him into a pitfall, and this is the manner in which it happened: A group of Sophomores were gathered in Jack Purvis' room. Jack was regarded about College as a jolly good fellow and a hearty companion, but he was a dare-devil, up to all kinds of mischief, so that this gathering in his room meant that some sort of deviltry was being hatched up. Jack had just been seized with a brilliant idea, and was explaining it to his fellow Sophs., who were Hlled with delight at the scheme, and promised to carry it out in all its details. A few nights later the President was awakened from ea sound sleep by the clanging of bells almost directly over his head. For-'a moment its seemed to him that Grabriel's trumpet was sounding, but as he regained control of his faculties he realized that some one was furiously ringing the chapel bell. Hastily slipping on his clothes he ran bareheaded over to the chapel, and laboriously crawled, scrambled and climbed to the belfry. It was pretty hard work, for he was no longer of the slight pro- 139 1 portions of his early years. When he reached 'the belfry, he stopped in amazement. Not a soul was there l Having listened for a time and not hearing a sound except the sighing of the wind, the' bafliedi doctor crept back to bed, and to sleep, troubled in mind and wearied in body. All this aiorded infinite amusement to Jack as he climbed slowly down from his lofty perch in a tree and began to wind up the rope on his arm. The next night the same scene was repeated, with the result of making the good doctor very mystiiied and angry, but more than ever intent on Ending out the perpetrators of the deed. The next day the rumor ran through the College and even spread to the village that there was to be a grand illumination of the College build- ings precisely at midnight. That night the wicked Sophomores chuckled to themselves as they saw the large crowd slowly gathering in the dark- ness in front of the chapel, eagerly awaiting the promised spectacle. At just ive minutes to twelve, the chapel bell began to ring out madly. Jack, seated in the tree, was on the lookout. It was hardly a minute before he could see a White Hgure leap from the President's house and tear madly towards the chapel. The bell continued to ring wildly. As the President tore along he thought to himself I'll catch those rascals this time, sure. When he reached the top of the chapel steps he stopped short for one moment. There was a hiss, a flash, and he found himself standing in the blinding glare of a dozen vari-colored lights, a iigure in white brought into relief by the dark background, surrounded by a crowd of eager faces, as it seemed to him, limitless in extent. To add to his misery the fire was so close that as he told a sympathizing friend it had scorched his night shirt and burned the capillary adornments oif his nether extremities. With a Wild yell of impotent rage and shame he to1'e back to hide himself as fast as his feet would carry him, and the humilia- tion of Prex was complete. H. K.

GN one bright day of Commencement week a group of old grads were gathered a1'ound a class tree, and the conversation had naturally drifted back to those happy days when they were only careless Freshman or reckless Sophomores, before care and trouble had furrowed their brows and turned their dark locks gray. lt hardly seems to me, said one of the group, 'fthat the boys nowadays have such good times as we used to have. The rest of the group nodded assent, and shook their heads sadly over the -degeneracy of the timrs. Now, for instance, said the speaker continuing, the Freshmen don't have the fun We used to have with ' Old Twink., It was a custom, long established by tradition, that the Freshmen should build bonfires all around the observatory on some especially clear night. It was a sight never to be forgotten to see the old professor come Hying out of the observatory door, with a ' Donnerwetter, 'vat you think you're doing,' that sent the boys in every direction. It used to spoil a Whole evening's Work, for he couldn't get rid of the smoke for hours,and many were the threats that he hurled against his perse- vcutors. I tell you those were rare old days. HI remember another good story about 'Old TWink, , said another -one of the group. You know Old Twink was a very gallant old gentle- man, and whenever any ladies came to visit the observatory, he was all attention, and explained with great care all the mysteries of the telescope 143 and machinery. Well one evening some young ladies from the Sem. came up to see the observatory and get a look through the telescope. The professor received them in his blandest manner, showed them the arrangements for moving the dome and the telescope, and then led the way to the big instrument. Having carefully adjusted the telescope he helped one of the young ladies to the seat and said, 'now if you will apply your eye to this eye-piece you will get a beautiful view of Saturn with all its rings,' and he began to give an elaborate description of them. 'Why I don't see anything at all,' said the young lady. 'You don't? Thatis very strange. Let me look.' He gave one look through the- telescope and then bounded up the stairs, exclaiming, 'I kills dose tam Freshmen dis time.' Some wicked Freshman had carefully dropped a. hat-box over the telescope at the proper time? Did you ever hear how some Freshmen got the better of the Presi- dent?,' said another old grad., and then without waiting for an answer he continued . It was in the old days when the President lived on top of the hill. Old President Fisher was a man who was always trying to spy into the boy's plans and to keep them out of mischief, but, sad to say his philanthropic efforts were not appreciated. One evening ' Square ' Root who was then a tutor, was visited by the old doctor who was in a towering sage. 'Mix Root' said he 'those boys are up to something again. I want you to go out and help me catch them? Square was rather reluctant to go, but there was no way out of it, so he put on his hat and the two emerged upon the campus in the vicinity of South. A sharp, shrill whistle of peculiar intonation as of one giving a prearranged signal sounded. 'There, don't you hear that' said the President, and hurried the tutor rapidly up the walk. But when they reached the place from which the sound had come, not a soul was to be seen. They were looking about, puzzled and nonplussed, when the same signal was repeated near South. 'There it is again,' said the doctor, and he forgot. 16:4 , his dignity and began to run. But no one was in sight when they reached South. After two or three equally fruitless attempts, the President became desperate. 'You take the front of the buildings and I'll take the back' and the two divided forces. Square had become rather tired and sat down on the Chapel steps to rest. It was only a moment or two before a young fellow ran around the corner and right into the waiting tutors arms. 'Gorne, sir, what does this mean' said the tutor sternly. The student got his breath and then confessed it all, and it was learned that they had a band of half a dozen men at each corner of the campus and for over two hours had kept the poor President running back and forth .7 I don't believe that anyone ever had such an easy time as We used to have under 'Chippie' Hamilton, said a younger grad. Now 'Chippie' Was as good hearted a man as ever lived and wanted to do his- bcst for everyone, but he could not govern. The men in College had little or no respect for what he said. Why, when he occasionally led morning chapel, he always used to pray with his eyes open. Our class in particular had made an enemy of him, the moment we came into contact with him, and he had repeatedly said that our class was certainly the worst class of men in college, and other things much less respectful. Now our class came to the time when we had 'Chippie' in chemistry. 'Chippie' had a very select series of experiments which required to be- performed in a dark room, and of which he was excessively proud. In the first lecture we sat as still as mice, and paid respectful heed. The old professor was surprised, but still suspected some trick. When the' second and third lecture passed in the same manner, he then threw all suspicion to the winds, praised us to the skies, took back all the harsh things he had ever said about our class, and felt at peace with himself and the whole world. 1,11 never forget that fourth lecture to my dying day- 145 The moment the shutters were closed the pandemonium began. Books, erasers, caps, chalk, fiew from all quarters of the room, being mostly aimed at the desk, behind which 'Uhippie' was crouching, yelling for someone to open the shutters. When the shutters were at last opened, there way down in front was Eli Perkins, whom the boys used to call 'Holy Eli 7 because he was so pious, grinding away like mad at some old machine of 'Ohippie's' which gave out the most infernal racket you ever heard X' Well, we didn't always get ahead of the professors, said a white- haired grad. I remember one day how the boys tried to play a joke on 'Old Greek? They caught a big gander on a neighboring farm, and tied it firmly in ' Old Greek's ' chair, and then awaited developments. ' Old Greek ' walked into the room with his head down and didn't see the goose until the old fellow stretched out his neck and uttered an angry hiss. ' Old Greek ' stopped and looked at it for a moment, and then turned to the class and said in his most unimpassioned and deliberate tones: ' Well, young gentlemen, you seem to have an instructor bette suited to you than l am, so I will leave him in charge,' and walked out of the room. I remember a good siory I once heard about old Marcus Catlin, said another grad., which is somewhat similar. The professor had an old white horse, which was as slow and staid in its manner and pace as though it felt all the dignity of years and responsibility. He always used to get at the head of the procession of carriages going down from chapel, and then walk as slowly as though time was an unknown factor, and many were the curses that were lavished on the beast, and he was popularly called ' Old Whitey? One day a faoetious Freshman was seized with an artlstic inspiration and drew a rude sketch of a horse on the blackboard of the Math. room, and labeled it 'Old Whiteyf The whole class awaited the instructo1 s 146 The Pgrljovr coming. He walked in with the utmost deliberation, gave one glance at the drawing, and then slowly turning with unmoved countenance, until his glance rested on the unlucky Freshman, who was now shaking in his shoes, he said: ' Well, Mr. Jones, I guess you might as well step up and rub ' Old Whitey ' down., But the afternoon was now well advanced, and the group broke up with an au 7'0'UO7f7', and with newly awakened memories of the good old days when all was youth and life and happiness.

The wind was whirling the hard, Hue snow around the corners of the dormitories, and whistling through the trees on the campus. It was very dark. The chapel clock had just Hnished striking eleven, when two iigures emerged stealthily from North College, and struggled through the snow toward the chapel. They said nothing, and seemed to be trying to shield from the -snow something which they were carrying. They reached the back of the chapel and tried the door, Thank the Lord, its open, and they disappeared up the stairs. What was their mission? Had they stolen the corpse of a pet cat, buried that day, in -order to dissect it in the laboratory to-morrow, and were they seeking a safe hiding place for it? Were they bent on greasing B. G's black- board, or sawing oi the legs of his chair? Suddenly there was a dull thud, followed by a terrible crash and a shower of debris-a shriek, a groan, an oath. Horrors! They must be dynamiters, seeking vengeance for fancied wrong, by blowing up the chapel! But nog it was only a couple of fellows swiping coal. In dearth of a match with which to light their way, one of them had fallen down the stairs, followed by his scuttle full of coal. E. N. R., '98, 149 A' A 'ff if! NY.

B. G. was already there, safely ensconsed, in his chair on the platform with a Webster's dictionary in front of him, with the usual look of wisdom on his face, and his most 'critical air. When the class had taken their places and the roll had been called, UB. G. said: The subject for discussion this morning is ' Resolved, that noon chapels should be abolished! The first speaker on the aflirma- tive is Mr. Kelsey. Bob stalked forward to the platform and began to haranguehthe audience as follows: H The subject is, ' Resolved that noon chapels should be abolished! Now the affirmative hold that there are many reasons why noon chapels should be abolished. In the first place our instructor in the department of oratory there ' B. GF moved uneasilyj is not held in veneration as he should be by the student body. UB. G3 starts to rise and sits down again.5 In the second place the College itself is unable to appreciate true oratory, and in the third place the inliuence of our noon chapels is im- moral. Now as to my first point. It is well known that it has been handed down as an established precedent for our learned instructor to be -designated at one time and another as ' you skeleton,'-and that ' gibbet yonder? Then as to.,my.sec.ond point. lt is an established fact that the College does not appreciate true oratory. Many instances can be brought 153 . forward to prove this point. Why, when I, even I, delivered my famous 'dec.' on 'To Hell with Maximilian Robespierref the college laughed, yes, gentlemen, actually laughed. If there is any further need to cite examples the lack of appreciation of our learned instructoris address to the Class of '97 conclusively proves my point. Then as to my third point. The moral tendency is bad. l do not mean to discuss this as an ethical question Qwith double gesturel. lt is not a question of ethics, it is a question of right or wrong. fApplause.l This reminds me of a good story I heard-.W B.G3s', pencil comes down and Bohn subsides. First speaker on the negative? Wade steps up to the platform with a red tie and a nervous and con- ciliatory air and begins: Miz Chairman, ladies and gentlemen. The iirst speaker on the aiiimative seems to have miscomprehended the ques- tion. His arguments seems all right but they is not. We all know What- great good We have all got from our noon chapels. Why, when I came on here as a Freshmen I oouldn't speak at all, while now-. Now I have one point more which I forgot to advance. The first speaker on the- negative-I mean the affirmative-said that the College Wasn't com- petent to understand true oratory. Now I think it is. Didn't the College applaud Albertie with thunderous applause when he ap- peared in all his glory. I tell you, gentlemen, the afiirmative ia wrong. Their arguments is spacious. Then as to the fact mentioned by the affirmative that Oul' instructor is not regarded with respect. Did he not. awe into submission a turbulent mob of unruly Freshmen by the sheer- force of his mighty will? Did not the stamping stop when he said it should? Q' B. G3 beams approval. Cries of 'Supe,' ' supe ' from the audience.l Then as to the fact that the morals are corrupted by the noon chapels. I think the morals of noon ohapels is the best part of the Chapels. -1 There is no doubt that there are some things not right in noonr Chapels-. 154 Here B. G. brings his pencil down smartly, with the next speaker on the afi'lrmative,'7 and Finn takes the tloor. He begins in a deep voice- The negative are all wrong in their arguments. This question is the question of whether or not noon chapels should be abolished, and they have brought forth no arguments to show why they should not be abolished. No one ever listens to the decs. and essays, so that the argument brought forward by the negative that they exert an improving influence is wrong. Their influence is certainly soporilic. C' B. GH begins to paw Webster madlyj As my colleague has said, true oratory is not appreciated. The trouble with the negative in this debate is that they are arguing on a false basis and calling things by their wrong names. Whatis the use of calling a horse a cow ? It will be a cow just the same. Then my next point is there he glances furtively at his ,cuff that the noon chapels are a waste of time. To be sure some men do bohn in chapel but even ihat must now be stopped. It is an utter waste of time, andlv But HB. Gfs '7 pencil cut him short and Searle took the floor. He opened at once with a grand spiel. The atlirmative in this debate is laboring under a delusion and a snare. They think to deceive us with arguments drawn from goodness knows where, certainly not from the 1V01'tlL Amerzfcfm Review as mine are. They think to deceive the 'dnest and brainiest set of men ever assembled in a college recitation room, fsalvos of applausey but we are not to be deceived. Our noon chapels are the greatest influence toward the advancement of the human race, and the development of the psyeholical part of man. Who can sit under the oratory poured forth from the fountains of eloquence which flame upon our chapel stage and not feel his soul stirred with thoughts of things both noble and grand. fDouble gesture and handspring.l Who can gainsay the potency of our instructor's magic power, to point out the way to oratorical success and to lead our tottering footsteps until we have 155 1 attained the statue of the perfect orator. Under his far-famed instruc- tion We shall march on and on until We shine as stars in the tlrmament, and ou1' names shall be handed down to prosperity, graced with the laureates of undying fame. QDouble gesture grandissimo.j Now I wish to touch upon the arguments of the aiiirmative at short length. The first citation of the aflirmative was concerning the incompetence of the student body to judge of true oratory. Now from the thundering applause which has greeted me- Here the pencil of B, G. came down and the deacon ambled slowly to his seat. The next speaker on the affirmative, Mr. White. Albus dragged himself slowly to his place, and gradually stood erect until his head touched the ceiling. Then he began- The negative has brought forward some arguments, such as they are. Now we would like to show that the College has no appreciation of oratory in spite of the arguments advanced by our esteemed contemporaries. flflere he stopped and grinned.j When I made my maiden attempt Qhisses and cries of 'Pun,' 'pun'J my 'long white shaft' was the only thing which was greeted with any applause at all. I have ever since attempted to show the College what true oratory is, but they will not suffer it to be thusly. tHere he stroked a solitary Whisker on his chin and continued.J Our comedian, 'Montey,' was appreciated, but he was only a Montey-bank, not a true oratorial genius like me. fHere he groped about the ceiling for an imaginary iiy.y One of the finest orators in College, the son of our revered professor, is unappreciated. tSweet smile from 'B.

Alas, they have disap- pea1'ed, and in their place we have such men as 'Skcmpton' and the 'deaconf 'But we must have order, I repeat it, gentlemen, we must have order! By whom shall this order be established ? Certainly not by the instructor. for- B. GY, raps sharply, frowns and says: Last 156 speaker on the negative, Mr. LaMoute. But LaMonte was suffering from a severe attack of hypernostological odontalgia per se. This closes the debate, said B. Gf' The debate has been very good, on the Whole, but I would like to make some minor criticisms. Mr. Finn used the word ' soporitio.' According to the best authorities it should be 'sopoforicf Mr. Finn would do well in the future to come into the debate without cuifs. Mr. Wade misused some WO1'dS. I have forgotten them now, but that is of no importance. However a debate is, of course, a very hard thing to criticise. It requires years of experience. However, the debates of your class have been far superior to any of your predecessors. The class is dismissed, and they departed singing, HB.

E. 159 N S The Wong It Weis Done -'bv-'bv-'bv-'V-I G. was smoking peacefully before his study-fire with a neglected ' chapel-essay in his lap. His feet were entwined in their usuai graceful attitude and he was busily thinking of improvements for his tennis-court and incidentally how he might improve the department of Rhetoric and Oratory. Suddenly an idea seemed to strike him, the first original idea which had struck him in a year. It struck hard, too, so hard that he rose from his chair and began to pace the room wildly. It had just occurred to him that the prize-speakers must soon be appointed. And with this came that great thought which had almost paralyzed him by its originality--why not put on Bevier ? Yes, why not? His speaking is certainly exceptional, his graceful gestures and attitude alone will make him noticed anywhere, and then ihat oratorical instinct inherited from me-why he is sure to win. QAnd then B. G seized his cribs and became oratoricalj. Ought the scion of the illustrious house of B. G. Smith, in whose veins runs the blood of generations of orators, be suffered to lapse into innocuous desuetude? Never. Have I not the power to put him on if l wish? Who will say me nay? But yet-ah-ahem-it's a mere matter of judgment, and perhaps l'd better call Bevier in, and see what he thinks about it. So he called Bevier, who had for an hour been in- dustriously trying to fix B. G.'s wheel, and had succeeded in breaking two bolts, puncturing the front tire and bending the handle-bars. Bevier, my son, hie thee hither. And when little Willie had hither hied and stood in the awful paternal presence, B. G. began in his most 160 ff- oratorical tones, and with one of his far-famed double gestures- Bevier, my son, I have resolved that you shall grace the stage of the Stone Church with your presence. What think you of this, my son ? H It's just what I expected, papa, for one of the boys told me that I was sure to get on, and that all the College thought I would take first prize. But do you imagine, my son, that it would create any-a-er hard feeling, you know ? Ch l no, papa, for all the boys like me, and one of them told me the other day that he didn't think you had an enemy in the class. Thereupon B. Cr. beamed with pleasure, and resolved a great resolve, and swore a great swear on a volume of George William Curtis that Bevier should be the prize speaker of :99. The day for announcing the prize speakers came. B. G. sat in his corner of the bear-box with a smile of contentment and a clean shave on his face. Willie's name was to be read last. He thought to himself, when they hear that proud name, they will rise and make the welkin ring with shouts of applause. But alas for his hopes, when that name was heard there was an ominous silence broken only by a few hisses. B. G. was completely overcome by amazement. He had scarcely recovered from this blow when the Utica papers heralded all over the county that Willie,s only recommendation for the place was the fact that he was the son of Pro- fessor B. Cr. Smith. Recommendation enoughj? growled B. Cr. to himself, and forthwith became exceeding wroth. But his feeling of out- raged innocence gave place to a fiery resolve that he would show these carping critics that the son of Professor Brainard Gardner Smith could speak 5 aye mo1'e, could outspeak any of those imprudent young upstarts who dared to set themselves up in opposition to his royal will. So he painfully dragged his patent-folding music-rack frame across to the chapel, night after night, and burned the midnight oil at the expense of the College, to show the people that Willie could speak. His hopes rose from day to day. It was impossible, unthinkable that any one could vie - 161 with his boy, under such training as only B. G. could give. Willie's head swelled to twice its normal size and he stalked about the campus the admired of all who beheld him. The long-expected night of prize-speak- ing came. All the College was there, just to hear my boy speak, thought B. G. As one after another spoke, his hopes rose high and his heart swelled with pride, and the confidence in victory. But when the contest was over and little Willie had taken fourth place, hands down, B. G. crept slowly back up the hill disgusted with the whole human race, and cursing the stupidity and lack of appreciation of true oratory displayed by the judges.

It is needless to mention the many disagreeable things that have taken place at various times. You are very much in the position of thegman who kicks another and then comes to him to borrow Eve dollars. These little incidents may seem insignificant to you but they are very annoying to an instructor.

Plrexg, Niolfpolcls orpcl NVNVNVNV E it known to ye who outside dwell, Of this College that some of you know so w That perhaps the principle feature here Is the twisting hill that inspires your fear As you downward slip With a tare and rip Around the Arbor and Psi U. turn, With a trick and a dash that all don't learn. This winter, along in the middle part, Prexy came forth with bounding heart From the dim front doors of old South Hall, And looking about whom he might call, His eye caught Nick And Ibbotson, Quick, Come on, he cried, there, take a seat, I've here a sled that oan't be beat. With trembling heart poor Bib ' advanced, And his angel look was much enhanced, By the thought of death and ruin nearg For he couldn't see how a sled could steer Down the winding hill With never a spill. Q But at Prexy's command he sat him down: Who'd disobey- that forehead's frown? Aha! thought Prex, here's fun to burn, I'l1 run her fast but make the turng I'l1 show them the gait of the fastest sled That 'ere of Hamilton's iieet was head. And he gathered the ropes With the downfalling hopes Of Nichols and Bib who sat behind, I Pretending of course that they didn't mind. I 169 7 8 A bit of a break and the Arbor's brow Frowns on the passengers, wondering how They ever arrived as far as that Without the loss of even a, hat. Then up she bounds As the curve she rounds, And launches down the steep incline In a way that the boys call simply fine. A moment more and she strikes the bend, That the greatest test of skill doth lend. The treacherous place is smooth as glassg Round they slew in a tangled mass, Then up in the air Prex and the pair To land in the gulf that yawns below To catch all sliders who that way go. Nick shoots up and makes an ellipseg Prexy ducks and by him skipsg Ibby lands with his head straight down And remains that way in a study brown, Till fallen Prexu Till then the rex Of all the sliders on the hill, Gains his feet and says with a will. It's all your fault you niunies there, 1'd like to have a pull at your hair. The thing, per se, is not so bad But then just think of my rep., By Gad ! 'i Then he tore, And almost swore No wonder it did his conscience prick, The doer to be of this Freshman trick. Nichols vous he never will take For his own or any one else's sake, Another ride from a gatling gun Even if other's think its fun. And he rubs his head As he goes lo bed, Thinking how nice it now would he If he hadn't been there for P1 ex to see. 170 Ibbotson starts for home on a, run, He yells as he goes, Undone, undone. Nor does he again for many a, moon Get sight of IL sled, and not have a. swoon As he thinks of the crack And the mighty whack That he got from his lightning' trip clown th And that awful curve and that terrible spill. The moral of this piece, l'm sure You all will see, is good and pure. If ever down steep hills you slide, Be su1'e you've got ai competent guide. 171 7 i A clipping Some years ago the rapidest reader in the Suu oiiice, Mr. Brainard G. Smith, attempted to read three hundred words a minute. He read at a rate that was utterly zmintelligible to all who heard him. That is to say nobody could catch the idea, in any one of his sentences, and he himself confessed that he had only a very confused idea of the matter as he rushed his eyes over it. He read exactly two hundred and seventy words.-New York Sun, March 29, 1897 . Freshman translates Ein paar Th ramen, a pair of tears. Junior in debate- If prohibition were enforced a man would buy his whisky by the half-barrel, and he would drink it up in less than a month.

Do not yawn, gentle reader. We are not going to oEer a panegyric on the air so ozoneeladen. We are merely expressing a futile longing over enjoymentsi that might have been, for We are going to a lecture in Chemistry. I The door of the lecture-room does not open easily, seeming averse to disclose the glorious assortment of odors it concealsg nor are the seats particularly conducive to sleep, although there are other influences during a lecture which largely counterbalance this little defect. D As soon as the class has entered and Lalvlonte, who is engaged in original research as to the most comfortable style of sofa-pillow, has appropriated all the matches in sight, the lecture begins. The man who enjoys the privilege of addressing this select gathering is half concealed by the apparatus that he has erected for his H experiments. Yet you can see his face and note the air of calm repose which dominates it, and forms a iitting attribute to a mortal Who, for two long months, has borne the distinguished title of Professor, and the more expressive appellation of 'f St-nk. ' ' I know-a, gentlemen, he remarks as he carefully arranges thirty- nine sheets of notes on the desk before him, I-a know that the-odor in 174 the room is-a not very-agreeable-a, but if you ever hope to become-a successful chemists Qcoughj you must get-used to this.. Now, the subject before us to-day, -herc the Professor carefully feels of his necktie, re-adjusts his coat collar, looks dreamily out of the window, coughs once or twice, and continues,- thc subject is of great importance in the realm of Chemistry. lt is a substance widely distributed in nature,-and is also-a-manufactured. All its characteristic properties will be readily seen, however, when I treat a little of the substance contained in this bottle with sulphuric acid. ' ' 'Now, in a moment-a, you will see fumes coming from the test-tube,- by the way I may as well say here that its atomic weight is easily determined to be 0.0l731l5,-well, ah- the result, unfortunately, is not very plainly marked, but fpause.J II'em, if you were as 'near as I am you could see dark fumes,-well, anyway that's what should come,- it's really quite immaterial, I may have used too much acid. - Now-a to get the element in the free gaseous form, We will take a few grains of this bluish-green substance, add enough acid to form a paste of about the density of chocolate fudges before they are cooked, and heal gently. Ah,-by the way-a, I must have forgotten to .bring in any matches. Have you one with you, Mr. H-Wl-y P I No, sir. I don't smoke. Minor quickly comes to the rescue with a F'lucifer, which he has used as a toothpick for the last month. L-Mont-'s consience picks him, and he moans uncomfortably in his sleep, and the lecture continues. The gas is best collected over water. Its valence is two or five. If you will look at the apparatus a moment you will see that there is an ebullition of something already, and soon the gas Will come. Here several of the class rouse themselves from their attitudes of sweet repose and exhibit the same degree of interest that is usually shown by people who are watching a dynamite explosion from a place of rather 175 7 uncertain safety. St-nk impartially casts his magnetic glances, now on the gas burner, now out the Window. A vast, ominous, expectant silence pervades the atmosphere, broken only by the Professor clearing his throat, and the sh uiiie of feet as F-nn and several others, who have con- cluded the apparatus is going to bust, undertake the duty of holding up the stove from the farther side. In the back of the room B-bc-ck is standing on the seat and offering two to one that the thing doesn't work, but nobody is so rash as to take him up, except B- -th. H H'em, -ah,- it's unfortunate, gentlemen, but-a this experiment has not proved entirely satisfactory. It is one of the chief delights of Chemistry, tha'r,- as it used to be in playing the Louisiana Lottery, you can't always tell what you're going to get for your trouble. I-Iowever, I will wrfte down what should have happened. ' Quiet reigns as the chalk mzirks out the magic equation . The lecture is about to continue when a math shark enquires if the members balance properly. V I think so, Mr. M-ll-r, replies St-nk, as he looks carelessly at his work. Ohl no! I beg your pardon! Of course notl Yes, I didn't a-work it all out carefully. It,s-merely a mathematical blunder. It should be-a, H'em-, ah-, well, you can readily see what it would beg we won't take time to go over it again. I want to mention some of the physical characteristics of the substance. It is, as you see-or as you would have seen if the experiment had worked-an interesting phenomenon that the gas is coloress. As a solid compound it acts as a bleacher, fby the way it is very bad for the complexionj, and has a pungent odor and quite marked taste, it is also a deadly poison. It may be easily identified by,-well a, by most any test, and by its marked taste. It is now perhaps time to name the element with which we have been dealing, and we find it points back to the Greek word-Hjem, Well-a, it is rather unfortunate but there is a page of my notes gone at 176 this point. I-a could-a- go on but in fcoughj such a science as Chemistry it is Well to be very exact, and hence, I prefer to have my lectures written Qcoughj so that the sequence of thought will be as perfect as possible. We will continue this next time taking besides, the next element, which is I think charcoal-I mean carbon-anyway your book will tell you. That's all for to day. A Ocliz T was the hour of twelve and as ihe college bell warned the laggard that he must run or f'cut, We stepped into the Chemical Lecture Room. The fellows came slowly stringing in. Down in front an exciting game of Hot Tomale was in progress. As the bell stopped St-nk -emerged from his den with a bundle of papers written in a feminine hand which he carefully deposited upon the desk. He appeared quite unnecessarily excited and after fiercely twirling his mustache, until the 'fellows had taken their seats and quieted down a little, he sat down to mark the absentees. Having completed this trivial but necessary task, he arose and faced the sea of downturned faces like a man. To-day, he -said, we were to have a quiz upon the subject of valencestructural- formulaeandgeneralchemistryaboutwhichiknownothing. Mr. W-b-r, What -can you tell us about valence? W-b-r.- Well I have an idea, but I don't know as I can express it in words. St-nk. CCoaxinglyj- O I guess you can. W-b-r- I thought that it was 1.529. St nk- Well I should hardly call it that, but perhaps Mr. L-m-te 'can tell us about that. L-m-te QBlushing like a Freshmanj- I don't think I understand the question professor, I wasn't listening. St-nk- Yes, I understand Mr. L-m-te that you are not particularly interested in Chemistry. ' 177 L-m-te- Well-but-I don't know anything about this subject anyway Professor. I St-nk QPhilosophicallyl- Very true, but some things Mr. L-m-te, go without saying. But Mr. Wh-t-, can you explain this. Wh-te- Professor I donlt believe the book mentions this, does it ? St-nk- Well perhapsit doesn't, but this subject of valenceis one ofthe most important in Chemistry, and I Want you to get hold of it. I will leave this for the class to look up forthe next recitation. Mr. P--re-y, can you give the formulafor Ending the volume of a gas at the standard conditions?

He looks up sheepishly, wipes his hands upon his coat-tail and resumes.j 'fNow I would like to have you look up the subject of percentage composition for next time. I will explain it first, however. QIIe turns to the board, at the same time drawing a small piece of paper from his vest pocket. QCries of crib, crib D, He turns around and blushes, sayingj .

Finally he gives it up and turned aroundl . Well gentlemen I must confess I don't remember just how it goes, you see it is a very simple mathematical calculation. It will be better for you if you evolve this for yourselves.

St-ne- O no matter, all I wanted to know for was because the Freshmen say that a fire started by lightning can't be put out by water, but that you have to use milk. St-nk- I think it will be well to have a written lesson next time, and please pay special attention to thc reactions. Wr-ght- Do you expect us to write them from memory -l -I -? M-ll-r-f' Professor I'd like to ask a question. Did the spots on the sun have anything to do with the hydrogen experiments I tried the other day? I've been doing a little personal investigation and I can't ind anything else to account for it. St-nk- Well I'm sure I don't know. I never thought of it in just that light before. But I think Mr. M-ll-r that that would be fa good thing for you to ponder upon at your leisure. I p1'obably could have told you if you hadn't picked me up so short. But I'll look it up and report at the next exercise. Just then the clock strikes one and the exodus begins.

Nvzvvwvnv ERE the Class of '99 to refrain from delving into the historic art and giving to the college world a record of the failures and defeats of the greatest Cy class of Hamilton, the dark chapter of our Sophomore history might indeed go unrecorded, and our disgraces never be put in print for the critical eye of the reader. And yet, lest our existence on the hillbe entirely forgotten, it is fitting that the historian of '99 give some account of our deeds and make an apology for our ap- parent inability to deal with the small, but valorous, Class of 1900. We acknowledge openly that our defeats, suffered from the World, the Fresh. and the Devil, have been disastrous and overwhelming. When We returned to College in late September, notwithstanding our worn and rusted appearance, many high hopes and anticipations of victory over 1900 were entertained. We were sixty, they were thirty-five. We thought we 'Were men of experience in college life: the Freshmen were but entering. But, Whether it was because nature has more bountifully endowed some of her sons with fortune, or whether because 1900 knew better how to use nature's gifts, the laurels of victory have never been carried off by our ranks. The row of the 'drst morning chapel was ordinary 3 no men taken to the Well 5 no original exploit achieved by '99. Nothing accomplished, or utter defeat has been our record for the year. 180 November 13th Congdon had to be placed under the protection of an upperclassman in order that he might be kept safe from 1000. The next day we met our Waterloo. That was the morning after our class supper in Ut, and to those who know us, it is needless to say that we were in no iit condition to iight on the battle lield. Around the llag-pole mud was deep. But Freshmen grit and love for class were deeper. Ninety-nineis opponents left the field gory alike with the disappointed hopes of Sopho- mores and the realized ambitions of 1000. For two hours the victors paraded the campus, and sang and shouted things about us that We think ought never to be attached to the dignihed Q?j name of '09. Then they procee-Qled to show the world how they regarded the row shirkers. Willie was Captured, and preferring to set up at Mrs. Kellyis instead of going to the well, he treated every man of '00 to cigarettes. We of course said 'fAmen to this method of dealing with the delinquents of the rowing course. But we could not but notice that it was the Freshmen who took the initiative 3 and under the same circumstances 799 would in all probability have gone to sleep, and perhaps have died in the eifort. lt was a futile attempt when at the arbor We tried to block the Freshmen . We had calculated upon neither the force of gravity nor the strength of 1900. Results were anything but Hattering for '99, To the faculty we have been really submissive. We pray that the class to take our places may follow our exampleg although, to tell the truth, appearances do not indicate it. They have learned too early that an uproar in chapel is very interesting,-especially since B. G. cannot ind out the men who make the racket. A late amusement that they have is setting off alarm clocks in the galleries to keep the Sophomores awake. It was not many years ago that the faculty GJ said, The chapel is a ' sanctum locum ' and disturbances there will be dealt with severely ' a prioref 7' But thanks to 1900 brilliant rhetoricals are still in vogue and 181 the Warning Will have to be repeated. B. G. has already occasionly said, 'fWe must have order 5 We really must have order. But behind are our failures. Before us are the independent days of upperclassrnanship 5 and, although these days of boyhood do leave bitter recollections, yet their memories are as unfading as the name of Old Greek or Square H of Schnitz or Bill Nye, of H Hops o1 ' Prexf' But still we gladly leave the trodden path and assume the duties awaiting our years. lt is with trembling hearts and doubtful hopes that we surrender the Sophomore's loving Q?l care of the naughty knots. Yes they were knotty, and have already shown that stuff in there if developed. Just tell the Freshmen that we have recognized much that is valorous and gallant in their make-up. Reader, this chapter would be incomplete Without a single further glance into the future. We hope, vve believe that 1900 will profit by our example of inactivity in College and class spirit. May they uphold, as We have fnlever upheld the customs and traditions of undeiclassmanship at Hamilton. May rowing, which has been half-hearted and weak on our part, still be maintained as a training in self-restraint and loyalty to class. With these reminiscences and glances into the future, the historian leaves the reader until another year shall have seen us experiencing the years of upperclassmanship. e 182 Home Rell?

N- Y- The undergraduate or the new-fledged alumnus who reads this was in the primary school when we first conceived the idea, years ago, that the schoolbooks lying discarded and dusty on everybodyls shelves, or unfor- gotten in closets and garrets, ought to be rescued from premature oblivion, and made to continue their usefulness in this already too expensive world -- - prolonging their own life, and at the same time saving dimes and dollars to many a needy student. To-day every student and every teacher knows, and we want every parent to learn, that no schoolbook should be thrown away until we have been given a chance to appraise it. Everyone knows, too, that we can supply promptly, and at New York prices, any schoolbook of my publisher - probably seeofed-ham! if desired, surely new if we happen to be out of second-hand. More than that, we stand the postage or else we prepay the expressage. Swiftness, courtesy, and fair prices make up our golden rule, and we bestow the same careful considera- tion upon the boy or girl in the remote hamlet who wants one book in a hurry, that we give to the bookseller who has his whole town to supply. Any school board, any school oflicial, any teacher will find it not only to his convenience, but to his profit, to treat with us because we are not only az' the schoolbook center QNew Yorkj, but are ourselves the schoolbook head- gumfieafs, thus ensuring the two great desiderata, discounts and despatch, not to mention the credit-allowance on old books consigned to us for exchange. . ' ,X - Then, again, we ourselves publish one hundred and twenty-five Translations Qthe Latin, the Greek, German, and French classic writersj, and a dozen-and-a-half Dictionaries of the ancient and modern languages, so that we have come to be considered the one sure clearing-house for any translation or dictionary. We also publish question-and-answer books, civil-service guides, speakers, class records, and other specialties for teachers, besides- the three-hundred-odd volumes of the University Tutorial Series which comprises text-books fwith the zmigzze Teachers' Editions, separatej covering thoroughly Greek, Latin, French, English, the sciences, mathematics, mechanics, history, ethics, logic, etc., etc. These Tutorial text-books are designed for sincere and thorough work, and are the production of sincere men whose exrlmive bze.vz'nes.v has been and is to fit students for the severe tests of the London University. The intention of the publishers is foil! fire bill, not to rival other series. Yet many competent instructorls -tell us that the Tutorial books do surpass all Others, both editorially and typographically. Congplefe Zirfffee on a,z5pZz'raz'z'ofz. To anyone mentioning this advertisement we will send free our new and complete azQahzzbetz'eaIljf arranged Catalogue of the schoolbooks ey' all me pzeblirkerr. This Catalogue quotes our mailing prices for both new and reromz'-hafza' books, and is frequently described by enthusiastic customers as a. treasure in itself because so compact while so complete. Correspondents who desire to re!! schoolbooks to us, should also ask for Books Wanted which is our bzgfiwzg Catalogue.
