Yet it needs but a glance to perceive that we have been controlled by no anarchistic ten- dencies. In some things indeed, which we deemed had been carried too far, have we attempted reform and only reform. We have conceived few if any new and original ideas and have sought only to improve the old. We do not feel that we need to call your attention to any additions or de- tractions ; to any improvements or alterations. On the other hand we do not wish our book to be judged by comparison but leave it to stand on its own merits, trusting that in it 1900 mly have a souvenir of one more achievement worthy of her reputation. You perhaps feel cheated by the delay in publication. We assure you that you have gained. The time has not been wasted. This book would not have been had we relied entirely upon our own abilities. Whatever success may attend it we assume only part of the credit. To our friends and especially to those of our alumni who have assisted us with their contributions is it due that it is what it is. We submit to you now the result of our eHorts knowing that it will soon be in dusty oblivion. As an editorial body we are dissolved. Our much labor is ended. Judge us not too harshly. We will never trouble you again. T It: Hamiltmzian Board -1 HCI'OStiC Have compassion, gemle reader. It All that glisters is not gold 3 Much we tell you in this volume Is the old bu! newly mid.

E. TRUSTEE OF HAMILTON COLLEGE SINCE 1865, IN GRATEFUL RECOGNITION OF THE ENDOWED SILLIMAN SCHOLARSHIP, THEENDOWED HALL FOR Y. M. C. A. AND THE NEW IN? ERIOR OF THE ENLARGED CHAPEL. THIS VOLUME OF THE HAMILTONIAN IS MOST RESPECTFULLY Eebicateb. Horace Brinsmade Silliman, ELD. HE name of Horace B. Silliman is sure to live Iustrously in the annals of Hamilton College. What he has done for the College in is architecture is something which cannot be concealed. Yet it illustrates by contrast his fixed habit of doing good by stratagem, carefully shunning any public recog- nition of most timely and thoughtful generosities. It was due to his large- heartedness that Hamilton College has the distinction of being the tirst College in America, if not the first in the world to own an attractive hall purposely built and thoroughly furnished for the exclusive use of its Y. M. C. A. Mr. Silliman makes no concealment of his belief that wealth is put to one of its highest uses when architectural beauty is wrought with glad simplicity and made to minister to the comfort and beauly of Christian worship. This was one of his motives in building the costly Memorial Church in Cohoes, where his father, sixty years ago, prayertully and patiently nurtured the beginnings of what is now one of the strongest churches in theState. This was his motive for giving asumptuous reality to President Stryker's plan of enlarging the auditory of the College Chapel and making it an attractive place for students in their daily worship. Mr. Silliman is also wise in counsel and eloquent in public discourse, as is well remembered by those who heard his Sunday evening address at the Commencement of 1890. We copy below his address in the College chapel at the Presentation Holiday, November I6, 1897 : h Dr. Stryker said to me that I could speak as an adopted son of Hamilton. I have begun to feel as though I was an adopted father. The relation is a peculiar and most pleasant one. I can go back of where Mr. Benedict started. No doubt the eye of Dr. Stryker has much to do with it. But the spirit of Hamilton had more to do with it thirty years ago implanting in the heart and mind of Mr. Benedict that which is better than what is so much sought after by those who seek the approving murmur of the shallows. In his heart was planted a love of true classical education. Because he was true to the human- ities he built yonder Hall of Languages. He did well to build it. It not 12 only gives needed class room, but it will serve as a monument to the classical spirit of Hamilton. Long may she endure and ever broaden in the depart- ments of scholarship. May the proud fame of Hamilton as a classxcal college be perpetuated as long as Doric simplicity shall be honored. or the acanthus leaf crown with beauty the Corinthian column, or the memory of the beloved and honored t Old Greek' shall endure immortal as the everlasting hills which his long and faithful services have consecrated to pure classical education. The Hall of Science was built in commemoration of a name which always has been, is now, and for many years to come will be, honored in its history and experience. It is built to show that Hamilton is not merely a classical school. While she is not aping those of more pretensions. she still pretends and intends to give to every student here a fundamental and thorough education in every- thing which may fit a man for that all around life for which he is made. May this feature of Hamilton College remain. I believe in every sphere of science, which is classified knowledge; everything which teaches history and raises it to a higher level will find a place in Hamilton. There has not been room here before, but there has been room at the top, and Hamilton has filled it, too. Hamilton has never been cowardly in her recognition of the Christian religion. She has always been true and undefiled before God the Father. She has always been faithful in studying the truth. Her young men have been taught that which enables them to say not creed, but credo The Hamilton man always says tI believe it,' and he is not afraid or ashamed to say so. The fathers built well and wisely when they built this Chapel, so that here this element might hnd lodgement and a home. Today I can congratulate the President, who has had his eye on this building also. He has seen to it that everything that shall make attractive this place shall be added to it. May it long have this characteristic. May it give to every young man fixed princi- ples that shall find lodgment in his heart. May the student always retain the memory of the Chapel andthe exercises that lifted him above all other sciences and all other language, and which led him to say, t I believe in truth. and Iam not ashamed to advocate and live the truthf' ,' l3 Sept. 22.

Digitized by 600816 Digitized by 600816 W9 mass Bistorv E have nearly run the course, finished the light and are now prepared to enter into the joys of five hundred dollar positions Gf we can get themy, and a seven by ten room in a back attic. Cheerless as may look the future and however coldly an unappreciative world may receive the members of l99, our past, at least, is secure. In every department of college life our class has stood supreme. Whenever athletics called for champions, whenever rows called for lighters, whenever the college called for support-there in the fore- ground of activity has waved the colors of 199. ' Our Class gave Dan Wells to the country and B. G. to the devil. It has also voted to give the College a Hall of Philosophy. Considering the fact, however, that at this writing no member of the Class has secured a position for next year worth more than live hundred dollars, while the majority have not secured any, it has been decided not to erect this building until about the time that the faculty shall evolve a sensible and equitable cutting system, which will give us all ample time to accumulate a fortune. Of the individual members of the Class little need be said. They speak for themselves. It may be mentioned, however, that during the course Hawley has steadily grown in laziness and Willis in numbers, while Beaver has directed the movements of all our class rows from the vantage ground of the Chapel entrance. Happy and care free have been the days which we have spent on our beautiful College Hill, and to them we will ever look back asthose which made up the best time of our life. Let us part with the determination to return at each Commencement and join in a re-union which shall strengthen the bond which has ever united the members of l99. N ever defeated in a Class athletic contest. never excelled in scholarship by any other class, exceeded by but two classes in numbers. with tanks never broken by discord, l99 shall forever stand preeminent among old Hamilton's classes.

INETEEN hundred has reached that period of her college course when she can look back upon the work and play of her underclassman years and derive much pleasure from these reveries. Many faces pass before us, faces which recall classmates who left us; who for many reasons did not persist onwards to that goal we call a degree. There was Gus Warheld, our prestdent, Wilkinson and Thayer, Stowitts and Geer, and the two who left us as we became upper classmen, G055 and Darrin. Although the places of our absent can not be filled, new places have been taken in the class by those who entered at different times along the way. Ninety-nine was very good to us, for if some members of that class had not joined us, our rolls would be very scantily filled, indeed. Yet, small numbers have not prevented us from taking part, to the best of our ability, in all the departments of college life. But, this is not the place for recounting our own great deeds. No! it is the place where we may tell some of the impressions made upon us and the benefits received by us from our alma mater. The first impression we received was the great length and height of the hill. We thought that ushin fever would surely lay us low before we had completed four years on top of it; but, now, we find that the hill is to us one of the dearest parts of the college. No one of us would consent, were it pos sible, to see the old landmarks removed, although it would put an end to what we sometimes think is a weary climb. So, most of us have persisted and will continue, until inJune, nineteen hun- dred, we sever forever, the ties which bind us as undergraduates to the dear old college. Yet there will hover around us the memories of people and scenes in the college. which shall never be forgotten. For, who of us will ever forget the pat sayings of uSquare or the little mannerisms of ttOld Hops. Yes! who of us will forget the first morning of college in the fall of ninety-six when we, with fear and trembling, rushed out of the chapel to meet the ttSophs. Recollections like these do not fade ; they last with life, a never ceasing fund of pleasure. Our college course is the training school of life. What we sow here, we reap in the harvests of the world and the memories of this dear place will follow us with its teachings to our grave. The Class of Nineteen Hundred will stand on the threshold of the world with pleasant memories back of her, for no real unpleasantness has come upon us. We have had no serious troubles. We have gone through this part of our course with good will to one another. This is the true test ofa class. What matter marks and athletics if good feeling prevails? Temporary troubles have arisen between us and that group of professors called the faculty, but these disagreements have not been preserved to our prejudice. Our evident good intentions have balanced the scale in our favor and we expect the ill will of none of our instructors. We feel that we may take pride in looking over the record of the years already gone from our course, and, now, it is left us to hope that the e yet to come may be Enished wilh as much success. After we leave these walls and enter the world as freshmen again, we hope that Hamilton will have nothing to send with us except blessings and good wishes.

He is strictly guaranteed ilike cold storage eggsl to laugh a long, loud, vocifer- ous laugh on any and every occasion, humorous or otherwise. Yea, liis laugh is like unto that of a. jolly monk, such as we see pictures of, who rests content with his ttround belly full of good caponf'l and other delicacies of the season, liquid and otherwise. When you hrst see him you will think him quite unap- proachable, but he is really qmte soft, especially toward the dear girls. Bacon is a favorite dish of the Germans ; this accounts for Schnitziels especial liking for him. BAKERsHow art the mighty fallen! Thou who, but a short time ago, didst inspire menls hearts to deeds of valor ; thou Pat. H, who arousest mcnls latent passions by thy stern visaged eloquence, alas, like Antony, thou hast met thy Cleopatra. l BiRD,tt SETH's-His profundity is so great tso say the girls, tool that a short sketch like this can scarcely depict all the latent qualities of his massive nature- Impressive as the stroke of the trip hammer, comes forth the striking eloquence from his impassive presence. From his fertile brain flows ready wit, even as the it Math demonstrations come from tt N ck. Houghton is always among his electives. Ask him about Aurora. BUSHNELHFrom St. Louis, Mo. ltBushil has temporarily departed from our midst. It is unfair to malign the departed. Therefore, least said soon- est mended. CARMICHAEL-Like other great men, in a little red schoolhouse, he showed the first evidences of mathematical genius, which, under the influence of College training, has fully developed itself. The history of such a great man should be expressed mathematically: The limit of the difference between a variable and its limit is not greater than he. Q. E. D. D 41 CLARK-Thou cherub of the College Choir, whose sirenic voice taketh up the Prexaic strain, let but one benignant smile beguile our Sunday chapels. Take off thy deaconic mien and assume a more appropriate air. Spring term was too much for thy goodly ways. and thy hitherto closed worldly peepers are now too widely opened. COOKINHAM-DonW annoy him. He canlt help being lazy. Its an inher- ent quality of his make-up. He acknowledges that he hates over-exerlion, and is studiously following the shining examples of Brick and Billy, in his endeavor to avoid straining his tender physique. If he was any other way he wouldnlt be Cocky. In other words, With all his faults we love him still. That is quiet. DECKEReAuthor of the t' correct thing in etiquette. The prominence of this bump he attempts to conceal by the peculiar slope of his hat. It has also been intimated that a suggestive ear is the cause of this position. DEREGT--An all round man. Has an idea every New Years. Sees a joke like an Englishman. Has the gait of a traction engine. EGGLESTON-With his supernasal window-lights. Thou worn, wan, worthless wreck, wasted in many weary efforts to win a ten spot, oft shouldist thou have bohned twice twenty-four hours on thy lessons tespecially Deutschi, Thy simpering, silly, sickly smile will never ingratiate thee in the eye 5 of thy Profs. tThey are not all Boesches D Eweu Much can be made of an Irishman, if he be caught youngfa The Ward McAllister of Clinton society. Some men were born for great things. Some men were born for small: Some-it is not recorded Why they were born at all. FlSHER-Ji Ratsey l' should have gone to war. His bomb-shell record in North College is h The magnetism of his eye, too, would have scared the Spaniards out of Santiago Harbor, and Sampson would have lost his fun. His stage struck appearance has been quite modified of late, and Prexy even put him among the orators 0f the season. Would that Hamilton had a course for incubating infants. GRAHAM--C0mm0nly known as tt Andes. The new reproduction of Wil- liam Jennings Bryan and free-silverdom. Chieliy noted for having doubtful opinions on all subjects. Would be a t' dude ' if nature would let him. 42 fwyxr A7,j,,wnmv 8K ' g, tMwym',Zanvardfwmwm tiWARD Hiccms-Commonly known as uHairless, alias ttHing an odd, angular specimen of humanity containing 4 cu. ft. of skin and bone; tips the scales at 1,600 oz, of which 1,400 appertain to head and feet. Higl, belongs to the trio of Eggleston, Higgins 8: Lee, as competitors for the bohn- ing record in 1900. It has been ascertained that he bohns 12 hrs per day and 12 per night and then lies awake regretting that there is no more available time for getting in a little extra. tt Hig had the honor of being unanimously elected track manager of his class, and his services in that line have been Uiterallyl invaluable. The only joke he ever cracked was on the enduring quality of the ten commandments. Favorite study is Woman, and for ascer- taining facts by practical experience has headquarters established at New Hartford. ttHig has also declared intentions, in cunjunction with Lee, of establishing a post at Summit Park. It is said that he is after a key; and will probably get it, unless he backslides. HOLBRoox-Famously known among his compeers as tiBones, alias ttShorty. Came to college to study, but afterwards changed his ideas as to what constituted a high ideal. His one all possessing ambition became-to make a. scholarship record inversely proportional to the square of his mental exertion. Under the present kindly persuasive power of the discipline com- mittee, it Shorty has reformed and -tbut wait until the honors are announcedl. He is a line public speaker, and is a. rival of ti Freak on the oratorical stage. Intended to make chemistry his favorite study, but d which means didnltl. For further particulars regarding his interesting, exten- sive record, ask the faculty or consult the memorial of his life which is now compiling. HULL-Commonly known as it Freak.u The less familiarly known in conversation the better appreciated. Blank, blickety, blank, d , d-, his common words of greeting. ti Freak elected Bugs, learned the origin of the giraffe's elongated neck, and employed different means towards the same end. He is an alarming character as ttBibb can testify. When first seen on College Hill he wore a. W. C. T. U. ribbon on his coat lapel. Had I Holmes subtle humor, Cowper's tender mode of writing. All of Milton's solemn grandeur. All of Shakespeare's towering greatness. All the good points past and present. Would I, could 1, justice render To this foolish Freak of folly. 45 HENRv-No relation whatever to Pat. Have no fear when he puts on that lock-jaw expression. He wotft hurt you. HENDERSONaOtherwise known as tt Hendy, hT. Willy Rockinghorse and by other appellations euphonious and otherwise. ttHendy is a crank, a cold water fiend, a wouldabe sprinter and many other useless things that might be useful if any one else did them. ttHendy once won renown by wearing a pair of loud tto speak lightlyl golhes. They have since lapsed into innocuous desuetude like Beaver Smith. We advise nl-Iendy to make a change, and to brace up and take a new start. We wish we could say something nice of him but we canlt. LEE--The man with the face. Orator. statesman and scholar. In ac- cord with this description you might think that Lee was of a retiring dispo- sition. But, alas! He it was who lured tt Hig into the vicious paths of New Hartford society. He it was who taught that hairless youth to walk the streets that are not ways of pleasantness and whose paths are not those of peace. But then, these stories are not supposed to be public, and for definite facts consult the police records of New Hartford. Lee has the theologue's profession in sight, and it is in view of this that he is studying the social conditions in the slum. But, as we have said, Lee is orator, statesman and scholar, and is all right. MILLER - ti Hank is an apostle of the faith that books are spectacles to read nature, espectally female nature. His theory is that the proper study of womankind is woman. and longs for the day when the curriculum will offer this subject as an elective. Flom his deep and all absorbing interest in chemistry. we are led to believe that he has discovered an introductory ciew to t the solution of his problem. MooxsaA pyrotechnic master of oratory. In him is summed up the eloquence of a buzz saw and the grace of an elephant. This powerful combina- tion is productive oi spouting equaled only by Vesuvius. His attitude and ges. tures are most conspicuous and necessary auxiliaries to his speaking. Such free- dom of movement does he possess in his arms, that it could have been acquired only from the practised imitation of a scare crow in a gale of wind. MASON-ttCurly headed Chic who can gain five yards on the gridiron far easier than afive spot in recitation. His smile is influenced neither by weather or season. Being as meek as Melvin, his future success is assured. 46 MACNAUGHTONaA disciple of the laisser fame school. to whom the drudgery of college work clings as effectually as water to a duck's back. MCHARG, Jr., C. EaAccox-ding to the catalogue is named Junior Christ- ian Endeavor. As to his appearance, well, his regular classic scholarly features have become so tangled up with his capillary appendages, that it is somewhat difficult to trace his Grecian ancestry. He has, however, a Greek professorship in mind. He also has the ambition to become a great public speaker, for which he is especially fitted by the sublime quality of his voice. There is a. story around that ttMc has shown himself capable of transforming himself into a soothing breeze kissing the silvery streams as he passes in his course. SHEPPARD, J. B.-tt Jup is by no means in his setting, though many yeaJ-s have rolled by since he escaped from his swaddling clothes. This worthy student leads a double life, and yet deceives no one. He is, in fact, the most married man in the class. SHEPPARD, R. H.-U. e. Royal HighnessJ Commonly known as ttIce. Elector of Snaps, Super 0! Profs. Thus does he hope to attain high honor. Tin-horn sport. During his Sophomore and Junior years he has been spend- ing in wanton diversions the money which he accumulated for use on the base ball trips of Freshman year. His bumps are as numerous as the bunions on a toad. SPENCERahDoctor. The fancy Hibernian two-stepper. Histl-keep it quiet, it's A Dark Secret. Ninety nine was too much ofa. farmer class for tt Spence, so he joined the class-we donit care to blow our own home of 1900. Say, tt Spencef leave a few prizes for hard worked tt Hig', and that poor, unfortunate bohner, ttEggyfE STEINI'sR-Jt Walt, for short. Our maximus tt Prex it has found a rival in the realm of omniscience. tt Professor, I think the book is at fault here. The veritability of the essence of this conjunction of vehicles of thcmght is. questionable? A walking library of information upon every conceivable subject. Had he lived in olden times he might have made his fortune as an oracle. TAYLOR-Versatile tt Deke, Rustic Reub, Lecturer, Acrobatic Debator. What a tangled web! His tongue outruns his mind. .. Deke makes an in- teresting study for tt Bugs in verifying the theory of evolution and the rever- sion of species. 47 THOMPSON-A somnambulist. One might think by the animation he displays that he was about 60. On the other hand to hear his boyish bragga- docio would lead one to believe him 15. Between these two limits are ranged his other virtues Unlike Demosthenes, nature endowed him with fine ora- toncal gifts. The only drawback is that she put the pebble in his throat instead of his mouth. He means well. VANAMMEE-Vanously called tt Whaammee, tt Vanamineef ttVanammE, or tnghtlyl ttVanimimee. The man from the wilds of St. Stephens College who thought to awe the poor Hamiltonites by his lordly manner and patroniz- ing air, but who found that they didnit scare after they had caught onto his curves. He means well, kind reader. He has a kindly face and a good heart. But Lord! the vests. WADDELLeii Waddy ll took the Brockway, but you wouldnlt know it now. Once his ambition was to take all the prizes and to have the Valedic. tacked on the end. Now tt Hig, h Spence ll and Lee say that he is harmless and out of the race. May the good God help him or he wont get a key. WESTON.-The board of editors apologize that they canlt amuse the readers with a grind on tt Shorty, but how can one scurt' the example of uni- versal goodness which the Y. M. C. A. unsolicited has put up as a tt cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide our erring footsteps through the wicked mazes of College Hill. But still, were he not President of the Y. M. C. A. we should be inclined to doubt his word and to accuse him of trying to work a clever trick on unsuspecting N Old GreekJ' WHITE-Familiarly known as h G. T? An inveterate cracker of antique jokes. Best known as the holder of the American record for longevity of col- lege life. We can't state just what it is for we long since lost track. He is Dudls favorite logician. We donlt know whether we agree with ti Dud or not. George has a key cinched. That is, a brass one. G. Tfs greatest joke is his own self. i L-HE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY LIT , LING! n- YILDEN mum! Bistorv of the Sophomore mass HE Class of 1901 is undoubtedly the happiest upon our hillside, and fur- nishes a good example of that familiar saying, tt Happy is the people whose annals are uninteresting? Facts also occupy an important part of any historical sketch. so this will undoubtedly be a stubborn article. When we came creeping up College Hill, we thought we were the people. Great was our surprise when 1900 didn't seem to enjoy our company and tried to drive us away. Among the many methods employed in our cleansing were first, scrubbing upon the sands of Mother Earth, and then, applying water from the well. But. a Frenchman said: uHe who washes a donkey's head wastes his soap, so they soon gave up this plan. The method of bohning and re- views has succeeded in removing all traces of our verdant freshness. Legally we have no existence. The legislature has never granted us a charter. When first we assembled and chose our amiable Mintz as our leader, he appointed Messrs. Smith, Havens, Bicknell, Browning and Robertson, as a committee to see Gov. Black and report at their leisure. Something must have happened for they have not as yet returned. The record of the events of our Freshman year occupy about the space of a point. While home for the summer, rusticating about the hay fields, the sun tanned us so, that we returned this year the rustiest looking crowd on the hill. The happiest, as well as the most foolish, day of our lives was when we moved into the Sophomore seats. Lo, behold! there came another pest and occupied our old places. Immediately after chapel we tried to demonstrate to them that they had no right there. But they would not go. We rowed them and raced them. All was in vain. 'tHave a tug of war, someone cried; they were easily persuaded to join us in this and we were easily drawn off of our feet. Again during the fall term, when trying to prove a corollary of the above proposition, we lost two of our members, who have recently been restored to us. One day we got a notion into our heads, that it was time for 1901 to take some part in college life. The first step was to have a new faculty ap- pointed. When this decision was announced, the result was not at all pleas- 51 ing. As we sat before the Almighty on that eventful day, we were assured that our class was not an organized body and cursed our committee, who had not as yet reported. Meanwhile for the peace, good will and prosperity of Hamilton College we promised to be good boys, and nevermore advance sug- gestions concerning the college management. Our calendars would also have been a success if financial poverty had not limited the issue to our own private use. Now standing at the half-way house of our college course, we see behind us the rough and rugged rocks of Math. and the oceans of German sentences, while before us we distinguish in the dim future the plains of snaps and lectures. Encouraged at this vision, we hope that 1901, by striving as we have promised Prexl, will yet be able to do something worthy of Hamilton College. 52 Sophomore mass Class Colors BOTTLE GREEN AND WHITE Class Motto vw0eig, o'ngom', mi gfsput.

Fktsnmm freshman BISIOW WAS always intended to be a. great man. When I was very young, even younger than I am now, my mamma used to point out to admiring relatives the likeness in shape of my head to that of George Washington's, and say that she was sure her boy would be a great man some day. And I still hope that I may yet be a man like the great big Sophomores. When I grew bigger and went to school the teacher said I would never be doomed to oblivion on account of being valedictorian of my class, which I think was very complimentary. So my mamma said she was glad that Willie Green was valedictorian instead of me, because valedictorians never amounted to anything. It was decided that I must go to Hamilton College because nearly all great men come from Hamilton. After bidding good-bye to mamma, I left for Clinton and arrived there on Wednesday morning, Sept. 21. In the after- noon I and my schoolmates went to church in the stone building with the tower on it, and Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Root, our new teachers, told us lots of nice things and said we must not be afraid of the Sophomores, but must run away whenever we could. After church we held a meeting and were deciding to lick the Sophomores when two of them came along and broke up our meet- ing and sent us home. That night we went out to paint the town and when we had bought our paint the wicked Sophs. stopped us on the bridge and took our paint away and threw it into the river. We then went back to buy more but the .tNaughty Onesll watched us so we could not get any. The horrid things bought green paint and painted ttslimel7 and Wreshll all over the town and campus and also painted the face and hands of one of our little boys. The next morning after church the ungentlemanly roughs waited outside, shouting like Indians. and when we walked out dignified like the seniors, they threw us down on the ground and made me cry and carried three of our boys over to the well and threw water on them. They also beat us in the wrestling matches. and running races and everything else until we refused to play any r. 57 more. During the protection season we stayed right under the wings of the upper classmen and on the Saturday afternoon of the foot ball game we all stayed in the house except one of our little boys and he came home before the game was over. When held day came we knew we would be revenged and would beat the horrid Sophs.. but the manager would not let us fix the program to suit our- selves, and some of our men were tired and couldnlt run fast enough and some were scared and couldnlt jump high enough, and the It Naughty Ones beat us terribly bad. It has been thus during my whole course and I have been here most two terms now. The Sophs. think it is fun to torment us boys but I donlt see any fun in it. I am tired of being a Freshman and I wish I was a nice, big Sopho- more and could wear long pants and smoke a pipe and have the girls speak to me on the street; and I am going to be a good boy and drink lots of milk and eat Mellinls Food, and perhaps I will grow to be a man like the Sophomores.

The game with Cornell was scheduled for September twenty-eighth, and the prospects for a winning team were decidedly gloomy. All the more ' praise, then, to the doughty team of '98 ! Under the leadership of a good cap- tain. they surpassed expectation and came forth from the gridiron With only two defeats to their discredit. These were sufTered at the hands of Cornell and Trinity. All honor to the team which not only won victories for Hamil- ton, hut won them under difficulties and with cheerfulness! Colgate, Union and Hobart were fairly beaten-Hamilton became the winner of the pennant. Altogether the season was a success, and it taught its lessons. Hence- torth our eleven should meet those of larger colleges-true, some defeats will necessarily follow. Nevertheless, Hamiltonis athletes are deserving of more worthy opponents than some of those with whom they have often competed in the past. The outlook for the season of 99 is bright, and it is hoped that the rec- ord of old Hamilton on the foot ball held may be still more illustrious as each fall comes and goes.

TILDI N FOUNDATION. Base Ball HE base ball season of 798 started off with high hopes for a winning team. We were after the League Pennant. As it turned out, quite a good way after it. The team had hard luck. Rainy weather prevented early practice and the playing of the team plainly showed that it lacked coaching. To be sure tt Prexy came out occasionally with kid gloves on and batted up a few mes, but even this didnt make the team win. No matter how good he may be, there is no ball player who doesn't have off days. The college teain was, of course, made up of good ball players. Early in the season anywhere from one to nine of them had an off day every time the team played. Bunching hits will win games, but bunching off days was never known to. The story of defeat is not pleasant, but from it there are lessons to be learned. The last end of the season showed that the nine had learned those lessons and could play ball. We remember how the team went to Colgate in a special train-all except ti StevieT The game was lost, as usual, but everyone knew that it was ti Stevieis v measles, and not Colgate, that beat us. Dunn had been discovered before, but he had never played the game as he did that day, and so we hoped again. When Colgate came to Clinton, the tables were turned. The score was 7-7, in the last half of the twelfth. There was ease in Reddy's manner :5 he stepped into his place, There was pride in Reddy's bearing and a smile on Reddv's face ; Two hundred eyes were on him as he wiped his hands with dirt. A hundred tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt. It was a two-bagger and a dandy. Heyl hit safe and Cunningham scored. The game was won. The last game of the season was an exhibition of fast, clean, errorless base ball that augurs well for success this year. We can wish the team of '99 no better, than that it may start where the team of i98 left off. 110 nu ma.

The victories 0f l89, lgo and l92 seemed destined never to be equaled. The l98 HAMIL- TONIAN told of the formation of the new Union and of the hopes for a Hamilton victory. The l99 HAMILTONIAN was compelled to recount a lour-sided contest in which Hamilton had to be content with second place. honorably beaten. It is the privilege of the HAMILTONIAN of the Class of r900 to tell of a victory which has rejoiced the heart of every EtOld Grad. and ll Under Grad. It was a fitting close for a season of hard, conscientious work. Early in the spring of 1898, spurred on by the defeat of the previous year, the men began work. The new track on Steuben Field gave an excellent op- portunity for out door training. Here every afternoon, could be seen a goodly lot of men preparing to beat Union and bring home the Pennant. Under the training of Ralston. '93, and Captain Ostrander, the men rapidly rounded into shape until the College Field, when they showed their power to win. A little more work and the men were at their best. On May 29th, 1898, the whole college set out for Utica ready to help with their cheers and enthusiasm. Union was confident of Winning because she had one victory to her credit. Hamilton was confident of winning because a lesson had been learned from defeat and all the men were trained to the hour. The day was perfect for field sports. The track had dried after the rains and everything pointed to a suchesslul meet. But there was one thing lacking, and that was a good sized paying crowd. Enough energy had not been invested in advertising to bring out a large crowd. Except from a financial standpoint the meet was a success. In every event the men were evenly matched and all had equally good treatment from the judges. It is just such an occasion as this which brings to view Hamilton spirit and pluck. In every event the team scored points until the fmal score was Hamilton 61115, Union, Colgate and Hobart together, 50K. It was a clean, well earned victory with which the vanquished, like good sportsmen, found no fault, for the victory was fairly and honestly won. 114 Too much praise cannot be given to the trainer, the team and the men who supported it. The success was due to hard work in the right direction. The past two years have shown what is necessary to make a winning team. We have a fine track and gymnasium. The rest lies in the interest and enthusiasm of the student body. If they encourage the team with money and enthusiasm the men will work and win. In the past we have had our share of intercollegiate victories: .89, S90, '92 and $98, and in that time there were two years when Hamilton was not a member of any League. It is a good record and one which must be kept up. At Schenectady this spring Union will try her best to win from us. but the record must and will show another Hamilton victory.

Bam-storming tTHE WEsTMOkELANn TRIM ON 21 cold February day the campus lay shrouded in huge drifts. Down the paths cut through the snow, hurried men clad in ulsters and carrying dress suit cases. There was an air of suppressed excitement as these noble youths gathered in front of the J. II'. E. house where a large sleigh stood waiting No wonder the college world looked on with awe, for the nrst time in its history the famous Glee, Mandolin and Dramatic Clubs had combined and were on that evening to make their debut before the admiring public. Twenty noble sons of Hamilton scrambled for seats, and then a most event- ful ride began. The road was almost impassable, one side of the sleigh mount- ing the drifts while the other cut through, gave a. worried look to those on the down side, as they saw men ready to drop on them from above. All went well under the quieting influence of the driver who assured us that there would be no danger until he jumped, so we hung on and watched his feet. At last he jumped. For a while there was a confused mass of mandolins, cases, and men. Then most of them vanished, After an extended search by some of the lengthy ones h Jess was found with his face peering from a drift and a man- dolin case in each hand with which he was endeavoring to attract attention. From one of the largest driits a. white silk parasol protruded, and following up this clue Miss Daze was found tightly holding the other end and endeavoring to keep the snow out of her hair, which she kept in a small box. After a. half hour of pushing and shoving we started again and reached the hotel in West- moreland In time for supper-a supper no one there Will ever forget, especially the ham. - On arriving at the place of exhibition we were astonished to find a. church with a curtain stretched across the pulpit. A transparent fabric enclosed a corner which we were told was to be our dressing room. This lack of apart- ments shocked the ladies of the troop, but nothing better could be found. There were no stage fittings, and entrances, exit doors to Iighthouse,etc., were 129 all in one. The crowd, or better, the congregation, arrived promptly, and their lack of impatience gave the ladies time to become accustomed to their new surroundings. At promptly 8:15 the Mandolin and Glee Clubs gave selections. Then after a short wait the curtain was raised, disclosing to the view 0! the enchanted farmers, Hawley and Dxummond, with their wonderful brogue. Then came h Deke. Words cannot describe his classic xepresen- tation of the African. ttHzmkf as the villian, caused the hair of the West- morelanders to rise. The ladies were too sweet for anything. Mr. Drum- mond made a. charming Irish maid, and the audience was convulsed when his trousers became unrolled and showed below his skirt. After the second act, while the Mandolin Club played before the curtain, Minnie and Bess gave a skirt dance for the edification ot' the troop. When the excitement was at its height, a chair was overturned, and passing through the curtain fell among the astonished musicians, much to their discomfort and the amusement of the spectators. The whole show went without break and was very creditable especially as it was the first time several of the men had done anything of the kind. The drive home in the moonlight was uneventful, the time being passed in singing. May the clubs of future years enjoy like success,f1na.ncially and otherwise. 130 Kappa Beta Phi lislablislzvd in 1898 1898 JOHN ROBERT BABCOCK, ROBERT GOODENOW KELSEY. JOHN MILTON HOLLEV.

Such is an extract from the critic of the ,98 Junior Prom, and in that Prom. was concealed m the embryo of her Senior Ball. For is not tt The Senior ll the most important social function in the history of every class F And what committee more capable than that of her Prom. could fulfill this last social obligation of the class? Was not their dance tt pre-eminently the finest and most complete ever given in Hamilton P With such a dauntless record ninety-eight was confident that her last farewell to her friends. in the care of ti the old Prom. committeef would be her crowning glory-despite the fact that there existed a protesting minority. Nor was the class deceived. The charming scene which greeted the eye on that traditional Tuesday evening of commencement week still borders the circle of memory. Never did the t- Gym ll appear to a better advantage. It was a blaze of light and color. Mingled with the colors of the class and the Buff and Blue of the college countless emblems of the Star Spangled Banner could be seen. The very building seemed to breathe defiance at our enemies in war when during an in- terval could be heard from the hand some patriotic air. CTis rumored that some 01 Hamiltonls alumni caught this defiant spirit. for not many weeks after they had enlisted in the defense of our countryJ Amid this scene of glory would resound the different class cheers. As we glided over the tloor in a dreamy fashion to the strains of Gioscials orchestra, and at the next number resumed the gay attitude ofthe two step played by Gartland and his irresistible band, well may all exclaim, ttit was a perfect dance. With all our complete ap- pointnzents we had failed to bribe the Sun to conceal his walming rays. At the appearance of dawn the jubilant throng slowly left the floor, some happy with the thought of a love returned during that last waltz. but over all hovered a sweet sorrow -the sorrow of parting classmates. To those alone who have spoken a college farewell can the fancy of such sadness be realized. So the Senior Ball, the farewell dance of the class of ninety-eight, is now become a history. 140 junior Promenade GIVEN BY THE CLASS OF 1900 Soper Gymnasium, Nov. 16, 1898. Patronesses MRS. M. W.

Its Hop clings tenaciously to the memory as marking a dis- tinctive epoch in college dances. Such a goal was incentive enough to call forth on the part of the Prom. committee a stupendous effort. Judgment has been passed and critics have given their opinions. Not a negative vote was cast. What the committee so longingly strived for. has been fulfilled. Nothing was wanting to make the dance a grand and brilliant suc- cess. The poet. with his clever pen, would have difficulty to snatch from fairy- land a more richly blended scene. Such dazzling splendor could have its like- ness only in a perfect kaleidoscdpic eH'ect. The soft, magic strains of music accompanying the rythmical glide was sufficient evidence that tt light-footed 'l'erpsichore presided. ' i The ardent realist cannot but turn idealist on such a night. He becomes a tllotusveater, forgetful of all beyond 'the border of imagination. The light fancies which have buoyed us up far above the common-place and made our existence seem an enthralling dream, are, alas, forlornly shattered as the last echo of music dies away and the stubborn fact relentlessly forces itself upon us that we have not a single cut. There are some events one cannot forget; events which leave a lasting trace. As such a one will our Junior Promenade live. 1-115 Sophomore Bop Patronessea MRS. M. W. STRVKER, Mk5. H. C. G.

But the happiest moments pass the most quickly. The Sophomore Hop! Will anyone who was there forget it ? Is there anyone who was not there who does not regret his absence? The wind and snow, at work all day, tried hard to pile the drifts around the old h Gym 'i to deny us entrance. but they failed. Inside the building all day raged the con- Hict between Jack Frost and h Brick, but towards evening Jack weakened, and finally gave up the contest. The girls ! Lovelier than ever before ! tCribbed from every HAMILTON- IAN since, and including Vol. 13 And of course since the girls were lovelier the dance was better than ever before. The Girls make the Hop. Did Gioscio ever play better P Surely Orpheus inspired the orchestra and Terpsichore the dancers. The poor Stags who ttdidn't have that dance looked on with woe-begone countenance and vowed they would h have a girl on ,, at the next dance. Cozy corners neatly filled with couches, chairs and pillows made pleasant resting places for the fair ones between dances, aml the walls as usual hung with national and college colors. The last strain of the last waltz had faded away, and as the last carriage departed the Sophomore of 1901 became a happy memory. 146 Junior Banquet CLASS OF '99 727030110151 , 99, Utica. 11111;!

SESSIONS. ninetvaninc in the Banquet Ball H Here beggar pride defrauds her daily cheer To boast a splendid banquet once a year. HOPE of transcribing accurately and completely the events of the ban- A quet tables of a body of men of such unreserved congeniality and good cheer as that prototypical class of eighteen hundred and ninety-nine would be presumptive on the part of a casual historian and impossible on the part of a. faithful banqueter. Being of the latter sort it must be my pain to omit the detail of minute description and confine myself to the tt glittering generalities alone. A banquet, Webster tells us, is a ceremonious feast followed by speeches. Here is its object,-a ceremony or a celebration; its characteristic,- a feast followed by speeches; of its results,-not a. word. Ninety-nine has closely followed the ideal of the lexicographer. She has always celebrated ayearls growth by a suitable dinner and her glories have been recited in golden words on these occasions. Their minutiae may soon be buried in murky Lethean waters, but the frank, open-hearted, whole-souled good cheer and fraternal feeling they aroused in all our hearts can never be obliterated. The unity of the class in all matters of organization and administration is the fairest fruit this convivial tree has ever borne. Boldly and successfully outwitting those who were our seniors by a year, we, as Freshmen, first sipped the cup of united brotherhood at the tt Butt May Ist, 1896. Billy MCNell was our eHicient toastmaster. His stories are still to be heard in college circles. His spirit as exhibited that night still lives among us. We have lost some of those who were with us then. The Master of the Toast is gone. Johnny OlBrien is now a legal practitioner in his native city. Dave McNaughtan has joined the great minority and is a promising member of Nineteen Hundred. The banquet of Sophomore year is already a landmark in our history. There we find the same cordiality and good feeling of the preceding year, but 148 we also detect a thread of sophomoric seriousness and sapiency. With Charlie Millard at the seat of honor and a toast list of unusual excellence, that event ing at the tt Bagg's 'l has good reason to be long cherished in our memories of college days. It was there that the mysterious conspiracy of which so little is heard and known was organized,-the tt Dirty-Fourfi It still retains its name unchanged and the ttQuartering Act li will never be repealed. When we took up the role of upper-classmen, we thought that we had laid down the frivolities of youth. But the old fever still clung to us, and late in the spring term we dined with Mine Host Thompson de la Wirtlz. Caius Lee was king and the night was merry. The halls resounded with speech and song. Our entertainer was at his best, but yet we could not but think of the old adage, tt It is the company and not the charge that makes the feast. At a recent meeting of the class it was decided to hold a banquet in Utica the night of the Clark Prize and after the exercises. The occasion will tend to sweeten the memory of the event, since the poet teaches us that : The latter end of a fray and the beginning of a feast. Fits a dull fighter and a keen guest. It seems a. fitting close to an important chapter of Ninetyhinels history. In her four years as undergraduate she will have assembled four times in feasting, and as many times will have pledged the heart of that good fellowship and fraternal feeling, without which all is anarchy. 149 the foot Ball Dinner TRENGTHENED by Prex ih his most affable mood at one end tof the tablet, and the genial editor of the Ulim Pru: at the other, the foot ball team of h98 felt itself equal to any emergency that might present itself. tt To the victor belong the spoils :-and twelve good men and true, with appetites, stiffened by two months of hard training, bent resolutely to the work of demolishing the store of viands set before them. Successful hitherto in keeping ttout of the soup,H they proceeded to get outside of the very good specimen of that article now provided. Assured by frequent exultant shouts from the side-lines that they were indeed ebirdsf' they turned cannibal and devoured the tender squabs without a qualm. Practiced in wrestling with the ttpigskin, they did not hesitate to try another fall, and the skin of the little roasted tt monthling pigling Wat one dollar apiece W was soon as empty as its relative of the foot ball fteld. They had carried off the plum of the pennant. Now they went farther and took the pudding and sauce, 150 and fruit and nuts and coiTee. They stopped at nothing until the touch-line of repletion had been reached. Then we settled back in our chairs and felt happy. This was indeed the climax of the season,ethis dinner Prex gave in fulfillment of his oath. For between the halves of the Thanksgiving game. while victory trembled in the balance, he had come before us, as we rested for the final struggle, and held before us the prize of a glowing feed, if we but held hard and won the day. How we won is another story. But we did it. And so the dinner. And as I dream of the rush and tussle of those exciting struggles on the gridiron, and my eyes turn lovingly to that unbecoming article of face armor hanging on the wall there, involuntarily my gaze is attracted to another piece of mural adornment. It is the picture of a victorious Hamilton foot ball hero leading his vanquished enemy a prisoner,ethe souvenir I found at my plate at Prex's dinner. And my stern dreams of tackle 'i and ttformation soften into a pleasing recollection of the good things we ate and the good stories we heard at that closing scene of the foot ball season of i98. 151 Prize ENS W fraternities 0m ISSS VALEDICTORIANS From the Revival of the Custom. 1855 CLASS OF 255. 256, 257, 258, '59, '60, 16 l, 262, 263. 27!, '73. 74- 7s- '76.

The history of the society reaches even further back into the past. In 1878 chiefiy by the efforts of Granville R. Pike h8o, the Hamilton College Debating Circle was organized among the students, who in college parlance were termed e1 neutrals. In March, 1882, the Debating Circle numbered thirty or more active members. It seemed to these members that the time had come for a permanent organiza- tion. Accordingly as many as were of legal age incorporated themselves into the Emerson Literary Society whose aim is .. to afford mutual help and stimu- lus in debating, speaking, writing, scholarly research, and all forms of literary work ; to give incentive to study, social culture and the development of high, moral character.w All non-secret society men in Hamilton College are en- titled to membership. Aside from this negative provision, no special condi- 162 tion is attached to membership, save to tt sign the Constitution and By-Laws of the Organization, and thereby agree to support the same and the articles of incorporation? Under such a constitution and with such antecedents the Emerson Lit- erary Society has lived and prospered for nearly a score of years. The best proof of its vitality and of its hold upon the confidence of its Alumni is the ex- istence of Emerson Hall, a cut of which is given above. The men, who be- yond all others, planned and built Emerson Hall, are E. S. Babcock, i96, and Henry M. Love, '83. The former gathered the nucleus of a building fund, the latter by his untiring energy converted a plan and a hope into a fact. The society is also visibly represented in the college world by the Hamilton Review. Ttvelve years ago the Review was but a venture in college journalism. It is not too much to say that the venture has been successful. The Review has aimed to be a magazine worthy of a College Literary Society and to give at the same time a faithful representation of student life at Hamiltonf' Of the Alumni of the Hamilton College Debating Circle and the Emerson Literary Society only two have celebrated the 20th anniversary of their gradu- ation. There are many, however, who have already won honorable and re- sponsible positions in various walks of life Among the lawyers one might name Charles F. Amidnn, '82,of Fargo, N. D., JudgeofU. S. District Court, and D. W. Van Hoesen. '86, who represented Cortland County in the State Legis- lature of 1898. F. W. Palmer, ,8I, and S. E. Persons, ,81, are pastors of prominent churches in Auburn and Cazenovia, N. Y. Not a few are members of College Faculties. E. S. Burgess, 79, is Professor in the New York Normal College, and T. C. Burgess, T83. is head of the classical department of Peoria In- stitute, III. A. C. White, 81, is instructor in Cornell University. George A. Knapp, '84, is Professor in Olivet College, Mich., Irving F. Wood, i85,in Smith College. Mass, Edward Fitch, T86, and C. H. Dudley, '92. are members of our College Faculty, and a still longer list might be made. G. R. Pike, 180, in ad- dition to his work as a pastor has devoted himself to philosophical and socio- logical studies, and has just deposited the fruits or his thinking in tt The Divine Drama.H a vigorous and suggestive book that has already received considerable recognition.

HERE has been so much suspicion in regard to the disappearance of a turkey, or perhaps more than one turkey, at Hamilton College over forty years ago. that for the relief of many reputations it is proper that the matter should be thoroughly investigated. . , Ever since the deacon's turkey, or turkeys, living on 7 f the hill, went away from the control of their owner many people have been suspected of knowledge of the tiight, simply because they happened to live in that neighbor- hood. It is due to most of them therefore that an explicit statement, even at this late day. should be made. No one, so far as we know, ever accused the President of the college. who had also the chair of moral philosophy. Suspicion also could not rest upon the professor of chemistry or the professor of history, for thev lived in the village. The professor of mathematics could demonstrate by some kind of mathematical ratio that the increase of his own turkeys raised hlm above suspicion. As to the professor of Greek, it was perfectly well known that he had not the remotest interest in Turkey. By a similar line of reasoning the other professors were excluded. and no 167 0 one could suspect the tutors, for it was their business to see that nothing of that kind took place on the premises. The accusation was therefore narrowed down to the undergraduates, or would have been but for an event which needs to be explained, and should be, in order to relieve certain worthy people of unjust charges. We refer of course to the cooking of the turkey and to Mr. Teddy OlBrien, the professor of Dust and Ashes, and to his under study, Peter, the Hermit. The charge was that the professor of It. and A. cooked the turkey, and that there- fore he must have had knowledge of the turkey's former residence. It was not denied that Mr. OiBrien and some of his family were good cooks, and it seems doubly unjust that a reputation for this efficiency should have involved them in this charge. Mr. O'Brien had no connec- tion with the biological department of the college. and there was no reason to suppose that he was interested either in vivi or post mortem dissection, and as it was never proved that he or his family took the turkey, or turkeys, we look in vain for any reason to connect him y closely with the transaction. His willingness to oblige was well known, KIth and his sense of duty was so keen that there is no doubt that if he hatl found a turkey in his kitchen, that needed cooking. he would have cooked it like a man, or like a woman, without going into any elab- fa orate study of the origin of species. And as for Peter the Hermit. 4' k his innocence was in all things so proverbial. that if he had met a turkey on the darkest night. anywhere. he would have turned out and f: $ looked the other way with the blush of a school-boy. If therefore we exclude these under professors, as we are obliged to exclude the over professors. the responsxbility rests upon the under- graduates and it becomes an easy matter to adjust that. It could scarcely be laid upon any of the freshman class; it was not simply that they were newly come from virtuous homes, but that they had not been in college long enough to get very hungry; the average boarding house still seemed to them a table of luxury. Suspicion might rest upon the sophomores, but for the well-known fact that the sophomore has not any specially developed character. being in the transition state his chief anxiety is to convince the world that he is not a freshman. so that any positive action is not to be predicated of him. When we come to the seniors we rise into a region where all suspicion at once falls away. by reason of the dignity of the senior character, and by reason of the fact that his nearlyrwon diploma depends upon his walking in a straight 168 line. A senior might by way of diversion eat a turkey, without inquiring into its life and death, but he would do it with a kind of lofty superiority to his en- tertainers which would impress upon them his high moral attitude There remain therefore only the juniors. The juniors have not yet come into the dignity of the seniors. but they have passed beyond the freshman simplicity, and the sophomore uncertainty, into a world of considerable free- dom and more leisure to try experiments. They have in short. entire self- confidence and are not yet hampered by the restrictions 01' those in the highest rank. At any rate in this transaction the junior class of the time mentioned have never been able to prove their innocence, and as by the process of logical deduction everybody else is excluded, the world gives them the credit of caus- ing the deaconis perplexity in regard to the loss of his birds, which did not survive to be to him a cause of Thanksgiving. The ditheulty of hxmg the exact responsibility 15 not evaded however by placing it upon a class. The transaction was necessanly a secret one and by reasoning would fall upon one of the secret societies. As it was well known that the 11136514 adyiw had nothing whatever secret about them, and as the only college way to keep a secret is to involve as many people in the responsi- bility of it as possible, it could be demonstrated that the turkey abduction was participated in by at least one delegate from each secret society-at least that as many representatives as there were societies partook of the banq uet The time was of course about midnight, a moonless night and so dark that no one of the natural history investigators could see who his neighbor was distinctly enough to confess the recognition to the president of the col- lege. In the farmerTs outhouse where the birds reposed the darkness was still more profound, and it was impossible for the junior, if it were ajunior, who put h1s hand through the window and felt along the roosting bars, to tell whether the legs be grasped belonged to a gobbler or to the goblerTs mate, so that here a new dithculy in the investigation arose; it was impossible, either in the house or in the blackness of night outside, to identify tlze turkey, and as everybody knows that the first requisite in law in a case of this kind is to iden- tity the corpus delicti, the whole case so far as the juniors were concerned would fall to the ground. Of course there was no doubt that the turkey was missed by his owner, and that it was cooked, and that it was eaten by persons unknown to the law, but as motives have to be fairly considered in any case of this sort, it should be said that the motive of 1his performance was classic, and entirely in accord with the principles of the higher education. The banquet was suggested by l. 169 the reading of Homer, and it was probably owing to the knowledge of this fact, that the Greek professor was never heard to allude to the subject in the class room. He understood if he did not sympathize. The heroes of Troy banqueted upon hecatombs of beef more or less raw, washed down by Usquebaugh; the heroes of Hamilton, adopting the higher civiliza- tion of their age, feasted upon the well-cooked and luscious bird of America, fianked on the plate by the native potato, new. roasted under the embers, and sparkling when opened like newly fallen snow. The origin of the potatoes was as much a mystery as the origin of the bird, and it could only be said that they had not the withered aspect of those stored in a cellar. If these viands were washed down by any liquid stronger than that habitually furnished by Peter, the Hermit, it may safely be said that no one of the participants had any recollec- ll- tion of it the next morning. This is a plain statement ofa. very ancient transaction, made at this late day for the relief of the reputations of many. CD.W'.

RUDD, senior in college and confirmed materialist, had decided that it was too warm for study and had removed most of his clothes pre- paratory to going to bed. But then he decided that it was too warm for going to bed, so he put out his student lamp and climbed into his cushioned window- seat to gaze on the moon and to cogitate. He had been sitting there for some time and was beginning to feel sleepy when he heard an unfamiliar voice on the landing just outside his door: t' Does Mr. Rudd live here P it asked. tt Yes, come in, answered Mr. Rudd gruny. It was likely to be a dun he thought. He was nearly at the end of his senior year, and some of the tradesmen had showed signs of alarm. He waited an instant to hear the door open, and then turned with an impatient grunt to open it himself, but the grunt died away in the back part of his nose when he saw that the visitor was already in the room. In fact he had come in without opening the door! Mr. Rudd attempted to feel in his pockets for a match, but then, realizing suddenly that he had no pockets on he sank back in the window seat in helpless terror. tt I am glad you didnlt strike a light, said the visitor, interpreting his ac- tion with remarkablequickness, tt for then I should be obliged to vanish, and I am here on an important errandfl Then seeing that his host was in a pitlable state of fear. he went on, tt Im sorry that the way 1 came through that door alarmed you, but you see we cant open doors. Really I am quite harmless. This reassured Mr. Rudd somewhat and he managed to stammer inanely: e H-h-how do you do? ttWhy, not very well. answered the ghost, overlooking the tactless blunt- ness of the young manls remark. tt The warm weather never did agree with me? There was a moment of silence. The ghost seemed to be following a train of rather painful reflections. Mr. Rudd took the opportunity to scrutin- ize him more closely than he had done before. He was of a gray translucent appearance like all ghosts, but of other spiritualistic conventionalities such as sheets or clanking chains, there were none. In fact his mien was rather 178 sprightly than otherwise. He wore a checked suit that looked as though it might have been loud in its mundane career. His collar was high and his shoes were sharply pointed. Finally to break a silence that was becoming painful, Mr. Rudd spoke: It Won't you sit down? I' Thank you, said the ghost, rousing himself with an effort. He seated himself in a chair. but to Mr. Rudd's surprise he did not stop at the seat, but kept on going right through. tt I beg your pardon, he exclaimed, rising hastily. uI am growing forgetful. Allow me With these words he took from his pocket at gauze fan, spread it out hon- zontally and sat down upon it. It looked to Mr. Rudd strikingly like one that he had sat on accidentally at the last Senior Ball. tt My name, said the ghost, drawing up his knee and hugging it medita- tively, tt is Robinson. Nof he went on, noting Mr. Rudd's puzzled expression, I wasnIt anything famous. I was merely an ordinarily welI-mannered young man. And that brings me to my errand. Have you ever been visited by one of us before P Mr. Rudd shook his head. tt Well, at least you have read about ghosts, y continued Mr. Robinson, It and you knowthat they generally act in a shockingly rude manner-groan and screech and turn inside oub-that sort of thing you know. u CanIt you do that Pv asked Mr. Rudd. tt Oh, I can, replied the shade quickly. ttI'll give you a little exhibition if you like. tt No, please donit,H said Mr. Rudd earnestly. tt The fellows in the other rooms-you know. tt Ofcoursef1 sighed the shade of Mr. Robinson, tt I am very thoughtless. Well, to continue. On account of cigarettes I joined early, with all my youth- ful enthusiasm unspent, and I tried to start a reform. We organized several classes in etiquette and good form, and a great many have entered them. In- deed they have become quite a fad, and have rather outgrown me, so that I feel the need of assistance. I thought that it would help greatly if you would consent to act as a special correspondent, to keep me posted about little mat- ters, like whether onets cards should be stiff or limber, and how many buttons they are wearing on frock coats this season. He paused, but as Mr. Rudd said nothing. he continued: tt Your grandfather was quite an authority on such matters in his day, and he suggested that you might be a good one to come tof7 174 h IIm afraid I'm not? said Mr. Rudd, uI'm sorry I canIt help you.', uI am, too, said Mr. Robinson, rising and folding up his fan. H I sup- pose then II have to look for someone else. But thank you just the same. Goodbye. It Donht hurry, said Mr. Rudd hospitably, It stay and have a. smoke. nThank you, no,H sighed the other. I donIt smoke any more-at least not tobacco. And I havexft much time left anyway. No, donIt open the door. I shall go back directf7 With these words he began sinking slowly through the Hoon tt Pd be glad to help you if I could -began Mr. Rudd. II Oh that's all right. DonIt mention it, said the ghost pleasantly. I'Good night, and at that the last of him vanished. Mr. Rudd got up stimy from the window seat and stretched himself. uIIm sorry that I diant ask him to come again, he said with a. yawn. tt IId like to have some of the fellows meet him. Then, after looking a moment refiect- ively at the spot where the shade of the courteous Mr. Robinson had sunk through, he yawned again and went to bed.

He was asleep. e I say, old man, piped upa voice boisterously, Id like to put in my ap- plication. h Your namef demanded the sage wearily. H. A.

Now history repeats itself--4t e Truef' answered Diogenes icily, as he fixed the Deacon with his eye, tt tor of old Balaamls ass spake also. e It seems to me, said Andrews, 't that your mission is foolhardy.

The Athenian cast a. searching glance over the assembled throng; tt And who are ye P he asked resting his piercing glance upon a pompous group. tt We are the faculty, sirf' replied Prex patronizingly. e And did ye master all learning ? ' inquired the philosopher searchingly. tt We had masters degrees, replied the reverend gentleman. e Then, by Pluto? exclaimed the sage, e Socrates will rejoice; he will sit at your feet and drink knowledge from the fount of wisdom, for he knew that he knew nothing. and Diogenes moved toward the door. tt Hold on theref yelled Stuart, tt yould ought to have brought your tub with you? e Alasf' murmured the sage, tt I didnlt know you were present? tt But I say,', piped up Danford, tt why didnit you bring your wife along. h For the same reason that you didnlt bring your wit? answered the sage, e I have none. 179 uCupid and his bow never made an impression on him, laughed Art Wells. u True, replied the Philosopher, surveying Artemus' nether extremities, ll but I perceive you didn't escape so easily.

Cuba. 182 Bachclorst tllub ECOGNIZING the need of such an organization certain of the under- graduates and of the members of the faculty have united to form what shall be known as the Bachelors' Club of Hamilton College. The main ob- ject of this organization shall be the disinterested study of woman. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: Most Proved Apostle, M. G. Dege ; Faithful Disciples, E. F-h, W. P. Sh ed; Delegate at Random, A. L-ped. Asacondition of member- ship it was specified that any undergraduate or member of the faculty who could prove that the equanimity of his mind had never been disturbed by feminine charms and whose views of the sex coincided wholly or in part with those of Schopenhauer is eligible. After some further discussion a committee was ap- pointed to draft resolutions embodying the sentiments and principles of the club and to arrange these in systematic or scientific form. At the next meet- ing the committee submitted the following report: tt Whereas, in the course of human eventsf tL -p-d cries tt crib i there has come a. time in the history of man when the needs of the human race and its progress in science demand that in that science a new and distinct division should be made, which division shall be termed Feminology, the object of which should be to ascertain and collect into compact form the laws tif there be anyi,which govern the actions, motives and thots tif there be anyi, of that capricious creature, so intimately concerned with mants welfare, be it knowne- That we, a duly authorized body. chosen by the B.

Motto-Jt Varium et mutabile semper feminaf' I. Woman. The es- sence of human caprice, the embodiment of all that is frail, fickle, changeable, 183 unstable, erratic, inconsistent, whimsical, eccentric, illogical, unreasonable, un- self-reliant, characterless, dependent, incapable, errant, sly, deceitful, serpen- tine, seductive, blandiloquent, hypocritical, artificial, shallow, fawning, ferret- like, parrotic, chattering, giggling, spiteful, vindictive, tt spoony, conceited, mirror-loving. heedless, susceptible, gullible. inane, curious, loving secrets. lov- ing adornment, loving admiration, prone to all sorts of unaccountable phen- omena and to all acts of insensate folly-such is woman. II. Division qf Me :ubjed. Tho woman is the exception to all known rules, in general we may class her actions under two heads-Sulbkttire and 01;- julim. a. Subjective-The idea of subjectivity presumes the existence of mental motivity. As no evidence has ever been produced to prove, nor have our most careful observations led us to believe that this force is ever coexistent with woman, we may therefore consider all feminine phenomena lrom an objec- tive standpoint. b. ObjectiveeSection I, Love of Adornment. Like the females of all species of the animal kingdom her lirst desire is for ornament. By showy, gaudy, lurid, dazzling, vociferous colors she seeks to draw the attention of her superiors. Similarly certain venomous serpents are known to lure victims within their reach by the peculiar attraction of a many-hued eye. This arti- ficial bedizenment reacts so upon the individual that a mirror is an indispensable adjunct for the gratification of the passions thus aroused. Ct Caius Lee, as he awakes from a sound sleep: tt Was be speaking about me P l Section II, Love of Admiration. tThe motive of Section IJ It is impossible for woman to live except in an atmosphere of admiration, even as the plant cannot thrive except in an atmosphere laden with carbonic acid gas. Not content with the implied admiration of actions and looks her inordinate vanity and her passion for praise can only be gratified by the in- sensate ravings of vocalized sentiment and she must needs have poured inIo her cars a constant stream of honeyed flattery. tR. Stone objects and moves that this section be stricken out. Motion is lost.j And so vain and gullible is she that the more extravagant and insincere this hattery is the more vain and gullible she becomes. Section III, Imitativeness. Being, ab initio, ab angina, dc fatla, Ct de Prexo ll says Hawleyl, Ihe thir- teenth rib of man tHull-tt Bugs says not t her whole aim and ambition since has been to become the other twelve too. To this end with her superior as her model-and a worthy model he is-she apes the mannish both in dress 184 and manner, and especially in neckties, waistcoats and hosiery. tG. T.- uShe cant beat my vest? Holbrook-JtAnd I am still ahead in hosiery?2 Pease-ttHave you seen my latest tiePU Section IV, Spooniness. tWith apologies to Stuarti. This is one of the most highly developed characteristics and is essen- tially feminine. It needs but a. short acquaintance to discover the presence of this trait. It is manifest in the manner. Its universality is evidenced by the inordinate passion of the whole species for that most proper m and decor- ous Oi mode of dancing-na-round dance. The partner makes little differ. ence, 'I a mans a man for a7 that -and so is an arm. Those who are un- familiar with the waltz step are seldom unfamiliar with the waltz position as an examination of darkened conservatories and hammocks in secluded places often reveals. Ct True ! 'i says Dunn, waving his crutchJ Section V, Wilfulness-belter characterized as Wontfulness. This is a trait exhibited on every occasion from the most trivial to the most serious; from the refusal of a dance to proceedings for a divorce. tAll in chorus, it Only too truefli Section VI. Dependence. it Only to think! In less than a. week I shall see a man ! 5' This exclama- tion is especially expressive of the feelings of the college woman. yet in her it is only an intensified characteristic common to womankind. The absolute want of selfvreliance would incapacitate woman from ever exercising the right of suffrage. In no thing, not even on a picnic ti exertionf7 essentially a womans province, is a man dispensable. If she rides a wheel it must be a tandem. Her whole aim is to inveigle man into servile submission to her whims. tI-Iateh--u That explains some things. McKeeeh Here, too? it Hank Miller-tt I dont believe it. Tho I obey, my servitude is voluntary. Now I know--well--but- Never mind, says it Dekefl e You neednlt blush so, we all know, but that doesnt disprove our pointfll Section VII, Loquacity. Attended by no cerebral exertion, this parrotic trait. this propensity to utter it no sense but nonsense,n this magpie twittering with its attendant gig- gle, has driven many a man in sheer desperation to seek the solace of a sooth- ing potion. W Art 'l Wells--u Thatls why I go out between the acts. t Section VIII, Lack of Reason. The utter inability of woman to see the relation between cause and effect. She even attempts to determine the points of the compass by a windmill. She would even take pictures of the moon by Hashlight. Her erratic attempts M 185 to conceal the ravages of time and deceive as to her age recall to us the his- torical Ponce de Leon. Of logic there is none. Section IX. Vindictiveness and Jealousy. She can tolerate beauty and cleverness in no one but herself and a de- feated rival. Even in this one the hrst discovery must be made by herself or by the object of rivalry. otherwise tsee Section Vt she wont see it. The sur- est way to win her is for a man to transfer his attentions to another in whom her inner nature recognizes a real rival. Not upon him will fall the blighting blast of her wrath, but lsee Section VIII; upon the head of that innocent one who has provoked her jealous spite. Section X. Moodishness. Her moods are as changeable as the waves of the ocean. as the surface of the desert, and her purpose is as uncertain as the course of the Mississippi. At one moment she will wound you; in the next flatter and caress you. At one moment she is as cold and impassive as the Sphinx; in the next she is fawning for favor at the sight of an ice cream sign two blocks up. OVaddell --t-' Thatis rightf'l Swearing one day that she will nwtr marry, presently she takes up with the first chance she gets. Saying no when she means yes; re- pelled by attention and piqued by indifference; sober when you are gay, and gay when you are sober; with absolute inability to appreciate a true joke but tittering childishly at her own pointless prattle ; with high ideals but no prac- ticality; sentimental, simpering. silly, nice, dainty. t-chahming, bewitching, entrancing, enchanting, facinating,coquettish, quizzical-tMacnaughtanat'Too awfully sweet for anything? Thus have we defined woman. These ten rules, like the ten laws of the Romans. we believe will become the foundation and bulwark of this vast new science-Feminology. To your honorable body, the B. C. of H, C., we submit them for approval, relying upon your good judgment. With very little discussion the above report was almost unanimously adopted, t Nick, alone. dissenting, for which and other reasons he was afterward suspendedt, and ordered to be drafted in the constitution as a working basis for future investigations. Elated by such a promising start the B. C. of H. C. adjourned for one year. 186 Che Intcr-Zlass Rebate STRONG and mighty in debating. In the art of vocal fencing. In the use of words as weapom. Prex did make his haughty minions Till they swelled with self'anerlion And with pride of their achievements Far beyond all human measure. Like the proverb of our fathers, That vain pride a fall precedeth, Is the story of theme vaunters. How they challenged us to battle, Us. the raw recruits of Dudley, To a battle on the rostrum.

Their vain pride their fall preceded. '00. H Dream. I WAS the night we had a Welsh rarebit,I remember, and a few members of '00 were gathered around the rubber-like substance, whifhng the delicious odor and patting our tas yet unexpandedt ventral region in anticipa- tion of the coming treat. At last it was ready. I ate my share-isteen pieces of toast well covered with the stomachache prescription which is also excellent in case you wish to obtain a view of many of your ancestors during the small hours of darkness. Too full for utterance I lay down on the divan, and that delicious feeling of comfortable sleepiness tso peculiar to the college mam stole over me. The noise of jests. laughter, songs and scuffling and other usual side-dishes gradually dwindled to a confused murmur. My companions grew hazy and soon all was oblivion. Suddenly the chapel bell began to ring. I looked at the clock and started. It was the noon hour, the hour for Junior American History, I started for tt South i' and reached it after narrowly escap- ing being annihilated by a storm of snow balls thrown by fun-loving classmates who barred the entrance. Soon we were inside the class-room and there seated in his chair of state sat our learned bald-head professor. Oh, Solomon couldst thou even fathom the vast knowledge that shining billiard ball con- taineth, dates innumerable, every fact of American History contained in manu, script, archive or constitution. Suddenly the bell stopped. A sepulchral silence pervaded the room. ttSt-eer, called Bill in so forcible a voice as to make us squirm in our seats, ttstate the date and plan of the stamp act. Walt, having answered with characteristic promptness, tt right, remarked Bill, ttbut to be more explicit this act was passed at exactly thirty minutes. flfty-two and one-half seconds according to standard time, and the authority for such internal taxation may be found in the last ten words of the fourth sentence of the third paragraph, section three of the eighth article of the constitution? it You should remember, he added, tt that every little point in this lesson should be given with accuracy, promptness and detail. t- 'l'ay-or, what was the attitude of Parliament in this matter ? tt They decided to pass the act by two hundred and three to fifty votes. e Well, I believe the author saysf re- 185 turned our oracle, h the majority was two hundred and five to fony-nine votes? h L-e you may tell me the exact year, day, hour and second by astronomical time of the light between the Constitution and Guerriere, also how many shots were tired by each and to be explicit, the number of ounces and kind of powder used in the parting shot, together with the number of feet and inches from the bow where the shot struck. ii These were answered in a general way with naturally a slip or two in the details. HBill NyeH specified that one- half ounce more of powder was used and just five hundred and sixty-seven splinters of wood were found in the largest shothole, which was just thirty feet and 11.145 inches from the bow. Cook am was the next victim. htTell me the exact number of feathers in the arrow that missed George Washington tdunng Braddock's defeatt and the number of millimeters it missed hitting his head. tt Wm. Nye '1 having now corrected the answer to the fraction of a. millimeter, told us that part of the above mentioned feathers were taken from a crow of the species.--and the rest were obtained from ahawk whose nest had just one hundred and twenty twigs in its make-up and was found on the top of a crag half a. mile above sea level. After a few more general tPt questions we were dismissed with the injunction to remember to hand in eighteen theses of unlimited length, containing a comprehensive yet concise account of the various speeches, treaties and constitutions during the revolution. Alas! for those reports. the cause of many a sleepless night, worn-out trouser seat, whirl- ing brain and the use of half the library, and yet Bill remarked the other day that he was far from satisfied with the amount of work he had allotted this term but hoped in the future to add enough to the curriculum to make his classes really get at least a smattering of the subject. May the gods preserve the man who is insane enough to take American History for a three hour sub- ject. He may consider himself most lucky if he gets thro on less work than is put on any seven hour subject. But, ah, a change came o'er the spirit of my dream! We were again in the same room. This time to take notes. each of us equipped with sharpened pencils and a grim determination to get down half of the lecture anyway. The bell stopped ringing and the triple action, self oiling, flying tongue of HBill began ttto spiel, his intellectual cranium keeping time with the vast thot whirling in his cerebral hemispheres. Pencils new and our elbows worked as fast as the fiddle bows of an orchestra running variations on the fortissimo of a double quick piece ; our breath came short; eyes stuck out and ears were exe tended in our eHorts to get at least one word out of every sentence. At last the cramped fingers of one classmate refused to work at such a lightning pace 189 and he threw down his pencil in disgust. 0n went the storm of words, every nerve was strained, and finally, after sixty minutes of torture, the blessed bell rang. tt Pa Shep swooned outside the door and was brot too by judicious punching and a. tt bracerH from tt Freak H-ll's hip pocket. The rest of us lay down till we got enough strength to walk to lunch. Suddenly I felt a. ter- rific whack and awoke amazed and agreeably surprised to find that I was not half dead by Old South, but had fallen asleep on the divan. Our midnight feast had broken up and I had to depart with the blissful tn anticipation of having, on the morrow, a. siege with Bill Nye which my dream had not ex- cessively exaggerated The moral that I deduce from this pathetic tale is not to sleep directly after eating yellow India rubber, and above all not to take American History unless you want to indulge freely in profanity and do the work of a score of domesticated elephants. An Extorian twin; Ila: hen there; 190 Ptdagogics at Hamilton H HE Development of Education in New York State as expounded by Ki'ilpe in his nIntroduction to Philosophy.H tt Bill strides into the room wrapped in a dense cloud of synthetic a priori thought. With a great effort he descends to the vulgar realm of experi- ence, and begins the recitation. Bill-Mr. M-l--m, what problems fall within the sphere of a philosophical- psychology P M-l-maWell-er-a it must a discuss the a concepts used in-er psychology. A pained expression passes over Billis face. The idea of explaining any- thing in a. simple and direct way was appalling. In his distress he turns to W. St-n. St-n-Philosophical-psychology must discuss the epistemological and logical presuppositions together with the most general and fundamental con- cepts employed by empirical psychology. And St-n scores another tt blood. W-lis-Professor, I would-er like to-a. ask a. question, if 1-! may. Bill-Go on. W-lis-I-er would like to-er-a ask of what practical use is the-a. Categori- cal Imperative P Bill looks disgusted, and determines to dispose of Kant's little invention once for all. BillsNow Mr. W.lis everyone knows that the Categorical Imperative relies for its universal validity upon the aprioristic, transcendental incompre- hensible essence of its intrinsic non-aposterioristic being. tY-g-r gasps for breath, and W-k r falls off his seat in a dead faintJ Its use in Ethics is a deplorable and atrocious warping of its true signifi- cance. But we are not discussing Ethics here; we must not wander from our subject. This ternfs work is concerned only with education. Just then the Sophomore class, indignant at the suspension of two of its members, fills the outer hall ; and with youthful enthusiasm consigns Bill and the rest of the faculty to a clime which transcends all experience. And there- upon Bill, with an air of injured innocence, dismisses the class without an as signment. 191 CLASS OF '48 5.1. M. Camp, T. VLVan Alslyne. J. F. Converse. E. F. Fish. T. S.

E. D. 194 H fancy STEPPED in at Manila one day. and behold my surprise to see there old acquaintances. They were men I had known well at college, back in New York State, way down East. in GodIs own country, where the hop vine blooms ahd the Oriskany mutters on his way to the sea. I say I had known them,-well, so I had, but not as I know you, gentle reader, for they were my peers, my ideals, my pedagogues. There were Prex and Square and Hops and Brandt and all the rest of that lusty crew. It was not at the seeing Iem I was surprised, but at what they wexe doing way out here in the Orient, the land of the tt Chinks, and the home of Japs, where the white man is taking up the burden of the coon, where crime runs rife-tt where there aint no ten commandments.,, Will you believe me,-these learned friends of mine all wore the uniform of the U. S. A Brigadiers, colonels, captains, you ask. oh no, they were now in the army of Uncle Sam, where a man is judged by his works, not by the size of his pedants library nor the number of innocent freshmen he hunks. Yes, in the army they were and in the ranks. I went to their captain, a blusterirlg regular, and asked how he came by such a. collection of tt stars II He said It: didn't know : he diant see as they could handle a gun betterIn anyone else. Prex, of course, was drum major where he could swell and strut to his heartIs content. I heard him tell the slide trombone how I: wrote the tt Star Spangled Banner and that he diant consider it tt obiter dicens to say that lte'rt' show this band how to play before he got thro with them. Hops, our reverend sire. was on guard at the time pacing gallantly up and down and humming a tune to himself the while. Bib, that darlinI boy, with tt smile benign, was blubbering a poem to some captured Philippinos--u It having been ordered that they should be tor- tured. 195 Asking where Square was I was told he'd deserted. Wharf exclaimed I. hdeserted ! -e Yes.'1 said they, he came into camp one day all out o' breath and swearing like mad, saying some of those niggers out there in the brush laughed at him when he called on them to surrender and called him the funny t little Americano' and he wanted them shot ; since his request could not be granted he said he didn't care a baubie for those dummies anyway and he quit em and took to the woods. Lew, our smiling Adonis, and Mel with raven hair and cheek of red. had just got back from the village where they'd been tt doing the heavy in Philippino society. ' Buggs was in the guard house and wasn't allowed to appear. Here we must leave them for to record all the stories our wortllies lived would take nigh unto 40 days and an alcove in the college library. 196 mCZZ-mw OZ 4.3m 9,3ow xBUBLlC LIBRARY NI Arron.

I feel that the past is near dead. Yet the while I'm still musing there come; to my gaze What maketh my feelings revive. Tie the last lonely length of the old hammock rope. To my fancy it Ieemeth alive. As it twinge there alone in the arm: of the breeze. As I in its arms oft have swung. It tell: me a tale full of pain, Iull of woe Such a; ne'er yet by hard hath been wag. THE LAMENT. In the day: that are memory a hammock I held. And the hammock. it often held two. And tho' it was dark, yet in one of that twain I'm eure that I recogniied you. And you eat there together those warm summer nights. And of time you both seemed unaware. While I, poor protracted, must hold you two up. For me there wan never a care. And thus I was tortured the whole summer long, Yet to you did I faithful remain, For I tho't that you'd take him, 'twould comfort me then To feel I'd not suffered in vain But. alas, on a night to my hopes came a blast-- Another was there in his place- I felt that 'twas wrong. so I made you IaIl out t I never have since seen hi: face.
