O. E. W. Introduction Convinced that the ideas which developed the peculiar and distinctive type of the REVEILTAE for the past two years have become exhausted, we have made bold to return to the former characteristic year-book with enameled paper and cloth covers. ln addition, we have introduced individual pictures of the mem- bers of the Faculty and the junior class. Beyond such we have attempted no innovations. ln our preparation we have been greatly aided by the hearty co-operation of Mr. I. VV. I-Ieadington of Bexley Hall, whose drawings appear as one of the features of the book. Kind and helpful suggestions have also been made by members of the faculty and several graduates. Wle have planned to give the Kenyon world a book representative of existing conditions and if our REvi51LL1z will but give some conception of the events and progress of the Year, we shall be content. The year has been of so much consequence to the college that we deem it wise to review at this time some of its chief events. The sad accident whereby Stuart Lathrop Pierson of the Freshman class met his death presented a most adaptable subject for those newspapers which care neither for truth nor for justice nor for decency. Immediately the most innocent circumstances were warped into hideous tales of dark deeds and brutal action. Reputations were overlooked. Calm and deliberate judgment was thrown aside and a dish was served up to the public of such a nature that no power of pen can designate it. Stories of a sensational character were sent the length and breadth of the country. In localities where the name of Kenyon was unknown, the people were told that it was a college where faculty and students combined to make the life of a large number of their companions a burden and a misery. Conditions only possible where depravity and brutality reigned supreme were represented as existing within the walls of our Alma Mater. To the friends of the college and to those who were cognizant of conditions, all these stories were the veriest cavil. To all those who stood so nobly for what was but right and just, the heartfelt appre- ciation of the undergraduates goes out in fullest measure. Vtfe refrain from remarking upon the conduct of those responsible from a legal standpoint. Nate hold high the majesty of the law and as we can not reconcile either ordinary reason or good sense with their pitiful miscarriage of justice we forbear further comment. 10 The year has been very progressive along literary lines. This spring is to mark the entrance of Kenyon into the circle of inter-collegiate debating. At the present writing, it is too early to forecast the outcomeg but it is to be depended upon that the representatives of the college will carry into this field of collegiate activity the same spirit that is carried into any undertaking in the name of Kenyon. The work of the literary societies, Philomathesian and Nu Pi Kappa, has been conducted with a zeal that has made them still more important factors in our college life. Keen interest in all matters pertaining to them has been con- stantly displayed and during no period in recent years have they been in a more fiourishing condition. The C0llc'gian has had another year of marked success. All in all, the literary life of the college has seen immense progress during the year. The musical activities have been many and varied. A successful trip was made by the glee club and the home concert was one of the best for years. At different times throughout the year the various dramatic clubs presented excellent performances. The athletic progress of the year has been given special place in another portion of the REVIMLL15 and all that may be said in passing is that Kenyon has this year, as she has in the past, conducted her athletics on an honest, clean and gentlemanly basis. The storm of protest which is now sweeping over the country in regard to intercollegiate athletics, finds but little here at Kenyon upon which to fix its attention. The year has seen the further development of the Honor Systems. The honor system of examinations has been amplihed to meet conditions and is now in a state of entire efficiency. Not one breath of valid criticism has been heard in regard to the honor system controlling the use of intoxicants on college premises. T The present year has, indeed, been a stirring one and has brought much good. Responsibility has tempered the student body. The year will be forever marked as one of progress. Notwithstanding the calumnies of the malicious and the base fabrications of the ignorant, Kenyon College stands today upon the same fair height she has always occupied and her sons go onward and upward to higher and better things carrying her inliuence abroad and quitting themselves like men. 11 Sept.

L25 Senior Memories Every man upon graduating from college has some token or other that ever inspires thoughts of the days that used to be. Some depend upon diaries and scrap-books to serve as remindersg but to my mind there is nothing like a pipe, the best in college according to your own ideas, to stir up old memories. Such a pipe I take in my hand, borrow the necessaries from a Freshman, light up and - VVhy, no, it is not so long since our class entered college. Four years when one looks forward to them seem like a mighty long timeg but now that they are past appear no more than a mere Hitting dream. Very well do I recollect when we first struck the I-Iill. The foundations of Hanna I-Iall were just being laid. It was in connection with the dedication of this building that we as Freshmen first felt the real thrill of being Kenyon men. In the mock services of the evening before we took our usual prominent part, and as I remember one of our men acted the Prowler better then than I have ever seen it attempted since. Cin that memorable morning, however, the entire student-body, each man with a little mauve ribbon on the lapel of his coat, lined up along the east side of the chapel and when the carriage containing our old friend Mark Hanna ap- peared, how the Hhikaf' VVhat's the matter with Mark and the especial song One summer's day as Uncle Mark reverberated from one end of the quiet old village to the other! It is no wonder that we look back with pride on that occa- sion, which by the way, was our matriculation day. In reviewing our past history one cannot help with being impressed with the fact that 1906 in more than one sense was the transition class between the old and new order of things at Kenyon. For besides seeing a new dormitory rise up along the side of the staid old Kenyon, it has been our privilege to observe several other innovations on the campus and in college custom. First of all in regard to the library, To-day we sometimes hear faint mur- murs against the short library hours. 'W hy at the beginning of our Freshman year there was no such thing as library work after sun-down, as there were no means of illuminating the reading room. Imagine what a novel spectacle was presented to our view when for the nrst time the almost impenetrable gloom between the college gates and old Kenyon was dispelled by light radiating from I-Iubbard I-Iall. Yes, the books were kept in the reading room then and ' 27 the danger from ire was very great. But this, too, was remedied in a very short time when the Stephens Stack Room was built. The dedication of that building meant another off-day for us. The Freshmen of to-day can consider themselves as very fortunate in that they are no longer required to keep the Sophomores and Upperclassmen sup- plied in water. Every evening it was the usual stunt for the Freshmen water brigade to carry water from the chapel pump to the dormitory. Nor was it uncommon, but rather unpleasant you will agree, to get up out of bed at some unearthly hour and rush the can for one whom we did not then care to disobey. Wlith the installation of the Water System this custom, too, soon became a memory. But perhaps the greatest change of all is the one which stands unique in all college story. In our early days the students were a little careless of their behavior. College ethics, as we knew them, gave a hearty sanction to the nu- merous Upartiesn which were then held. To be a good fellow one had to be in on all such affairs. That our class seemed to be pretty well supplied in the jovial, good-natured sort of fellows would appear quite evident were it possible to look over the faculty minutes. A few of them were unfortunate enough to be numbered with the worthy band upon whose misdeeds the Honor System in the matter of drinking on college property was inaugurated. VVhat is the matter with this pipe! A little more tobacco Freshman! As I remember we have had the opportunity to meet a number of very prominent men since we have been in college. Besides the immortal Mark, there is a long list of men, leaders in the church, state and business world, the majority of whom are Kenyon Alumni. Last commencement the Governor of Ghio was on the Hill. And in our last days we have been permitted to shake hands with the most talked of man in the world, the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Another match Freshman! Let me see 5 how many men did we have upon entering college? Fifty! That was considered a big class then. iXVe still have twenty-twog and this is noteworthy in that it makes possible the proud boast: That Kenyon has in this year reached the high-water mark in the matter of attendance. Was that one o'clock that just struck? Sorry l must break off here. But we have a rehearsal this afternoon of the 'iTaming of the Shrew which we will give as our Senior play. To learn more about the class, it is only necessary to look over the individual record of its various members. And it's a 'lpipeu if the members of 1906 do as well out in the world as we have done at college we certainly will receive the well-done which has been the reward of every good, loyal Kenyon man.

Do I remember back that far? VVhy, what under the sun are you talking about? It was only yesterday, boy. There's Chick, ask him. Ch, yes, we all remember Turkey in the straw very well indeed. I'll never forget laughing at lean, lanky Sargent standing up there puffing away at three cigars in his mouth. That 1907 Minstrel show couldn't be beat. I-Iow did you live through the next two days of that week? Draw up your chairs a bit closer, fellows, -- There are the implements on the table. Let's see, where was I? Oh yes, those were the halcyon days when we were Hgreen in judgment, but I rather think our ryhming boast, we have the wit, we have the grit has proven a very true sign', of all the good things we've had since then. just think of that cane rush! If you want to rouse the angry passions of one of our venerable Seniors, take that for a starter. Add fuel to the flame? By love, that's right. There was a certain Freshman smoker that was managed with neatness and dispatch. HNot to put too fine a point upon it as Mr. Snagsby would say, we were masters of the art of strategy in those days and knew how to enjoy ourselves. I.,et's see, we haven't forgotten any of those lessons yet, have we? I-Iave one? Do you know, I always like to look back with pleasure to that Sunday when we so proudly escorted the Seniors to chapel-there was quiet dignity and soldierly order for you! I merely touch upon it in passing. Then the added sense of dignity and responsibility for the innocent young lambkins entrusted to our care as Sophomores! The wise discretion and paternal fondness which we exercised over our charges-You'd better open the window, Dan'l. Think we ought to have an inquiry column in the Collegian?- Ask the lady from Philadelphia or Ask the man of 19O7.U Say, I quite agree with you there. There's no use in keeping all these, good things to ourselves. VVe may as well assume our proper place as arbiters of custom. See Vol. II of H1907 Commen- taries for this or that! i'The play's the thing, you say. And we said it, too! I don't think Kenyon's had anything quite so good as our Turned Up perform- ance. No! No! No! I-Iush, Goldy, don't bring up Danville. Lets forget it! No, indeed, I don't forget our Sophomore I-Iop. Ah me! Gr that banquet, either. Verily, there was a How of soul. Even Sammy stirred us from the depths by his eloquence. And now, where are we? I know it's hard to realize 37 it, fellows, but they call us Upper Classmen, now. You remember that was the academic significance of the occasion Fat referred to in his chapel address at the opening of this year. VVhat's Carby talking about? Ch, yes, we shall all have mustachios some sweet day. VVolftrap? Say, it was a sad day for Kenyon athletics when he left the Hill. And, by the way, vvelve had our share of athletic honors, too. 1907 athletes could not be left out of question for a moment. Tell Shorty to keep up the good work. Gf coursethe Choir, and the Glee and the Mandolin Clubs owe their many excellencies to a great extent to the outbursts of our musical fellows. Students, did you say? Ah ha, my friend, wait and see! 'We may yet set the world on tire with our wisdom. There, jack hasn't said a word. Thinking about our Prom? Well, say, Wasn't it a dream? How did you like the dim, religious lightn? Of course, every- body said, as everybody does and always will, that it was the best Prom of all. It was for us anyway. Oh, no, I haven't forgotten the work, but I didn't want to weary you- Say, there's our exciting melodrama- The Heart of a Hero. 'We added a few more laurels to our histrionic fame in that performance. Here's to the 1907 Dramatic Club! Vffhat shall we do next? Progress is necessary to success, they tell us. VVhat does our friend, Mrs. Malaprop, say: Well, we will not anticipate the past!-so mind, young people-our retro- spection will be all to the futuref, Ah! there it is! The Future! Do you know that-who dares to knock at that door? Come in, if you're good looking! VVe'll have to judge of that for ourselves, will we? Wfelll Well! Come on in, Doctor! Sit right down there. VVe've just been talking over our good old class days and to tell you the honest truth we were so absorbed that we quite forgot that Hue song you wrote for us. Let's sing it, fellows. L. L. R. 3 '15 Class Song QAir- 'fln College Days. j Where Kenyon lifts her ancient towers, VVhile summer counts the golden' hon We meet beneath the laurel crown Qui' college wears of old renown And weave a garland bright with Ho Invoke the high celestial powers To bless this dear old class of ours, Vtfith torch and mask, in cap and gow Dear Nineteen Seven! We love the mornings fresh with de These skies of every changeful hue, The lustre of the evening star, The moon's soft radiance afar, Remembrance of our friendship true More fond than lovers ever knew Shall thrill us as we say adieu, Ere life the solemn gates unbar To Nineteen Seven. Fair Class, we chant thy fadeless fam Our mystic sign thy magic nameg VVe seat thee on this classic throne Respenflent goddess, all our own! Then raise the shout of loud acclaim To fan each fervent heart to flame, Through swiftly fleeting years the s Thine ardent worshipers alone,- Fair Nineteen Seven.

By an interchange in the adverbs of this Biblical verse, it is made to fit exactly the experience of the Sophomore class. Who says that it was not dark indeed that first night, and who now says that everything has not been made clear? Yet the time has veritably Hown byg hard it is to realize that we are half-way through college. We are only brought face to face with this fact through the knowledge that this very paper is a history of the Sophomore class. VVell does the writer remember that first toil up the hill 5 how he trembled every time any one passed and what the relief was to sink into an improvised bed after his first, and truth to say, rather disappointing introduction into Kenyon .society. But we learned quickly, so quickly in fact that on Friday of the same week, we met and defeated our most worthy opponents in the Cane Rush. The struggle was brief and decisive, yet wholly sufficient for showing what might be expected of the despicable Freshmen. Then came the much-talked-of S. C. Ifs. These often severe lessons were borne with fortitude by 1908-we were sensible enough to see the value in ,these mock trials. By Lent the Sophomores had dropped the reviews, why, no one seemed to know, but it was generally rumored that the Freshmen had so well acquired the Kenyon spirit that nothing else remained for 1907 to do. VVe are proud to say that we did assimilate thoroughly that enduring quality called the Kenyon spirit , we soon felt an uplifting love for our Alma Mater that must stay with us always. The determination to do Kenyon some tangible service manifested itself in all departments of college activities, though ath- letics claimed our special attention. On the gridiron and on the diamond, 1908 'exhibited her prowess. ' The year of apprenticeship passed quickly. I make no doubt that we learned much, truly there is quite a bit to be learned here at Kenyon. But oh, the joy of our home coming in the Fall. Yes, it was a real home-comingg no more to have that most wretched of all diseases-home sickness-and never .again to submit to the humiliating, Bend over, Freshman. Yet what a duty lay before us! to train well some fifty husky freshmen is no small task, to impress upon them Kenyon tradition as to.their place in college is more than a task, it is a duty also. V Y Now that I look back over the year I am both amazed and gratified to see 'how thoroughly the Work has been done. TNe have reared fifty loyal sons for Old Kenyon, sons who will be as zealous for her honor and glory in the future as we have been in the past. just a word in conclusion. In the two years that are yet allotted us shall we not prove beyond all doubt that we are the most ,glorious class of 1908? L. P. L'H. 53 1903 Class Song QTune: Drink to me only with thine eyes. l, Kenyon, the time will soon he here, Vlfhen we must say adieu, And enter on 1ife's stern career As thine own sons so true. Then time Hy not so swiftly by, Vlfe fain would linger late. Mother, how can we break away ln Nineteen Hundred Eight? ll Though we travel distant climes, Yet through the lowering haze. We'll hear. thy Canterbury chimes, Peal as in former days. VVe'll often meet in memory Vlfithin thy campus gate, And greet our old time friends, Of the Class of Nineteen Eight. III Regret our loyal hearts shall fill, 'When that time comes to pass, That we must leave this sacred Hill, Our happy, jovial class. So here is to our safe return At some appointed date, And here's to the orange and the lnlacl Of Kenyons Nineteen Eight. 9 -1LQ1Tf'fC'S 3' , X5 Nlnefeen Hundred and Eight Class OhpiC6fS Elliott Hudson Reynolds President Charles Edward Berghaus Vice-President Malcolm Cyrus Platt Secretary Henry Greer Beam Treasurer Edwin VVl1'll:1ClCl Hughes Historian Kenneth Frederick Luthy 'Toastmaster Class Colors Orange and Black.

Nineteen hundred and nine were beginning to arrive. As we came up the hill, one by one, the campus grew brighter and brighter and when we gathered together at the summit, a light supernal burst over all, a light so transcendent as to make the greenness of the grass fade into insignificance. The first few days of the year were exceedingly eventful for the class of nineteen hundred and nine. Ah! how quickly they passed by. We soon became noted for our quickness to learn, for our aptness to imbibe the Kenyon idea. Looking back over the eventful duration of the beginning our career, li see again, in vivid picture, the terrific battle at Southworths where we routed the Sophs. Again, I see the martial camp on the Academy hill and experience anew the thrilling sensation of the rush. The rush, why it is almost a shame to men- tion it, we were so overwhelmingly victorious. ln athletics we have more than held our own. Every team is strengthened by the brawn of nineteen nine. Many are the Freshman breasts adorned with the treasured K. We are told by the faculty that we are an exceptionally bril- liant classg and, of course, we believe it. Some of us have mastered Halsted's System and that surely is an accomplishment of which few can boast. Ah! the class of Nineteen Nine is a great class. ln the few short months that Kenyon has been blessed with our presence, we have made ourselves felt and the impress that we are going to leave on Gambier will be very great. Ken- yon is indeed, fortunate in having the class of nineteen nine within her walls for it is a great class, a glorious class, a-ah! the conflicting emotions which arise within my tumultous breast cannot be expressed. The professor of English says that poetry is man's natural mode of expression, so to the tune of Put my rockin' chair away, I have composed these verses, may they ever stand as a monument to Nineteen Nine. I O we are full-fledged Freshmen From the skin clean to the bone. And that we are real naughty Ts to Fatty P. well known. O yes we are real hoolers, Here is where we shine, VVhat Class can beat the antics Of Nineteen Nine. I1 We met the Sophomores boldly The night before the rush. VV e even made them Waver, It ought to make them blush. Our ally runners pantedg Boys get up in line The Sophomores are a-coming For Nineteen Ninef' IH That night we fought for gloryg That night we fought for fame. VV hat matters how we did it, lfVe foiled them just the same. Next day we held a banquet, Played that pop was wine, And toasted to the victory Of Nineteen Nine. IV One night we stacked Ascension VVe thought 'twas nobly done. But Doctor need money, And taxed us, every one. NfVe pawned our knives and playthings Paid without a whine, In keeping with the spirit ' xii Nineteen Nine. V The climax of disasters Came when the Sophomore bunch Got wise to our doings And swiped our dainty lunch. Then rousing all the College All Came out to dine, fThough wholly uninvited,j With Nineteen Nine. VI The time is fast approaching Wfhen we can dotf the yoke, And in its place we gladly Wfill don the self-rule cloak. Since we are now thy children, Kenyon, sacred shrine Accept for aye the homage Ot Nineteen Nine. N- E' HM -'- L 5 L!!! I ill IIE SIEI Ml!

VV. .1 Stuart Laihrop Pierson During the evening of Qctober the 28th, 1905, Stuart Lathrop Pierson, a member of the class of 1909, was accidently killed by a railroad train at the foot of the college hill. His father, a Kenyon alumnus of the class of '80, had planned that the son should follow in his own footsteps. He taught him the true distinction of Kenyon and of Kenyon men. Father and son were to have the same Alma Mater. K'Stew,,' as we affectionately called him, had been looking forward to the time when he would enter college. He graduated from the Cincinnati Technical School in june of IQO5 and came to college in September. - Though with us but a few short weeks his quiet manliness and strength of character left an impression upon us that will be lasting. The sweetness of his disposition was an inspiration. The purity of his ideals was Worthy of emulation. Though quiet and unassuming in the class room he was a zealous and conscientious student. He had the respect of professor and fellow stu- dent. -'Although we miss Stew and are conscious of our loss, his spirit of gentle- ness and kindness is with us. His strength of soul that portrayed his Masters love will remain an inspiration.

Certain reforms were made in the style of play and public opinion was satisfied. This year has brought forth another storm of protest, not only against football, although that branch seems to be the chief offender, but against inter-collegiate athletics in general. Pro- fessionalism, graft and undue attention to the detriment of other student activ- ity are given as the most serious charges against athletics in the college world. Certain alleged exposures, chiefly among the larger universities are said to prove that many of the so-called 'fstars are hired for their athletic ability. The professional coach has been made the center of a determined, and in some in- stances, of an effective attack. Brutality in football is designated as the chief objection to that game. The renowned president of the university across the Charles has made the statement that it is as cruel as bull-fighting. So wide- spread and vigorous has been the agitation that several institutions have decided not to play football until a better game is developed. It is interesting to note that none of the charges made against athletics can be applied to Kenyon's record in that phase of college life. Early in the second semester, the Assembly invited the Board of Trustees to co-operate with the student-body to secure an athletic instructor. The Trustees met the move- ment with hearty approval making the proposed change an assured fact. This instructor will be in attendance for the entire year and will be a member of the faculty. lVhile football may suffer somewhat, the loss in that direction will be more than made up by the gain in basket-ball, in track athletics and in base- ball. By this action Kenyon again leads the colleges of Ohio in athletic reform. Historically such is but natural as her record has ever been one of clean ath- letics. An investigation of the records of the year will demonstrate the fact that while our teams have not been altogether triumphant they have been entirely successfulg for they played out their schedules with the characteristic spirit of do or die. The football team played ten games and in five of them the heavier side of the score was in Kenyons favor. The basket-ball season was, as far as the winning of games is concerned, unique as Kenyon did not win a college game. However, a good team was developed for next year. The outlook in baseball is better than for some years past and we anticipate a season marked with enthusiasm and victory. Track athletics appear to be in a fair condition. Vlfhatever happens in any branch of athletics, Kenyon's name will not be sullied by any lack of spirit or by any ungentlemanly conduct. 94 Football The opening of the college year found the usual football atmosphere pre- vailing. Most of the members of last year's team were on hand, ready and anxious to get into harness. The green material among the members of the incoming class looked promising. Our new coach appeared and immediately Hurry up became the motto. The old men learned that laziness, loafing and a position on the team did not co-ordinate. The Freshmen were taught to forget their high-school ideas. VV e practiced in earnest. You ought to make a thousand yards on that playu in Dad's sonorous voice came rolling up the hill every afternoon. Mt. Union came first and an easy victory was the result. One point, failure to kick goal, defeated us at Oberlin after we had gained two yards to Oberlin's one. Case's heavy and tried warriors were too much for us, but we scored twice on them, a feat which no other Ohio college duplicated. Wesleyaii learned again, to her sorrow, what a little college endowed with pluck, can do. Her team had defeated Reserve the Saturday before and an easy victory over Kenyon was freely predicted. That night there was sorrow in the camp of the VVesleyanites. Otterbein, Marietta and VVittenberg felt the sting of defeat at our hands. On Thanksgiving Day, Cincinnati with her im- ported Eastern players was more than a match for us. That evening, however. The Cincinnati Alumni gave us a banquet that made us forget that the U. of C. existed. The season was a good one. VVe played ten games, winning live and losing tive. It is the best record that we have made in four years. Every team that we played represented a college with at least twice as many men as we have. from which to pick a team. Then also we played clean ball. Not a taint of professionalism or a single charge. of undue roughness marred our record. 95 32350 Football I. H G. N J. P G C. J. S. R. K P. K R. G. A. G. L. .I- L.

A late spring compelled us to limit our early season prac- tice to gymn.'f work. But now the crack of the bat is heard again on Benson Field. The cry I'll take it, as the high Hy falls into the outhelder's mit awakens the fever and quickens the pulse of the base ball enthusiasts. Last seasonis record was not an enviable one. At times the team played excellent ball. There was good material on hand butithe best that was in it was not developed. Lack of team work and inability to hit were the causes of our defeats. As a fielding team there were none better among the Ohio colleges. The Oberlin game was as pretty a game as ever delighted the eyes of a fan. One run, one error and four hits sum up the combined efforts of the two teams. This season's prospects are exceptionally bright. The larger part of last year's team is on hand, and a large number of promising candidates from the Freshman class are out every day. Three pitchers with good prep school repu- tataions are trying for the team. C. Rigler, head umpire of the Central Base Ball League is coaching the candidates. His experience and knowledge of the game will undoubtedly eradi- cate the weaknesses of last year's team. An excellent schedule has been arranged and Kenyon looks forward to a good base ball season. 99 A x- Au Base Ball G. C. LI-:E jx., Captain A. L. BRONVN, Manager . C. Lee, Ir. . L. Brown . Rigler A.

If we call to mind the fact that Kenyon College really had a basket-ball team, and in spite of almost hopeless discouragements stoutly played out the schedule, then the season may be. called a success. lf, on the other hand, we think only of the games won and of the inter-collegiate standing of our basket-ball team, then the season was an absolute failure, for we did not win a single collegiate game. As for the financial end the team came out about even. Although several years ago Kenyon basket-ball teams held high rank among basket-ball teams of the state, in late years there has been a great lack of interest. It was with considerable hesitation, therefore, that the Executive Com- mittee last fall voted to have a basket-ball team at Kenyon this year. Un account of the long mid-winter holidays, it was impossible to do much towards organizing the team until the fellows got back to the Hill on Tuesday, january ninth. On the following Saturday the team had its first try-out, and in a practice game showed fairly good form against the basket- ball team from the Academy. During the season six games were played and Kenyon met defeat in every instance. A lack of interest in the game was the most potent cause of the failure to win games. In the Denison game played at Gambier on February third, the Kenyon team played its best during the year. Perhaps next year with a faculty coach there will be a revival of interest in basket-ball at Kenyon. In that event the fact that we had a basket-ball team this season will not come amiss, for the team was largely made up of men from the two lower classes, who would form the neucleus for next year's team. In a college no large than Kenyon, the athletic teams are certain at times to be weak until a new set of men develop to make them strong. Let us hope that Kenyon has at last crossed the Rubicon in this regard, and that next year our basket-ball team with renewed interest will take its former high standing among the college basket-ball teams of Ohio. 108 Basket-Ball G.

The old records of this department of athletics have been broken and new ones have been established. In each instant the result was obtained only after hard and consistent training. Then again, Kenyon in the Big Six meet at Columbus surprised many by her showing. The track team work was supervised by Dr. Hall and his kind attention made possible the success of the season. In the meet between Hanna Hall and Qld Kenyon the records for the discus throw and shot put were broken by J. G. Boggs. The mile record was lowered by W. H. Brown and the pole vault record broken by A. L. Brown. Ohio VVes- leyan was defeated at Delaware on May I3 with a team of but twelve men. In the meet held at Gambier on May 20, with O. S. U., the record in the hundred yards dashiwas lowered to ten seconds flat by K. S. Rising. At this same meet Captain W. H. Brown ran a magnificent half mile lowering the Kenyon record to one minute and fifty-seven and two-fifths seconds. At Columbus on May 26th, was held the Big Six track meet. At this meet Kenyon took fourth place. Con- sidering the small number of entries, this was a very creditable showing. The outlook for the season of 1906 is very bright and promising. Dr. Hall continues to coach the men and the candidates are hard at work. Much discom- fort is experienced by the track team and their persistent efforts in the face of this discomfort is most commendable. The advent of an athletic instructor will be welcomed with heartiness by the knights of the spiked shoes. Excellent material is prevalent among the under classes and with a continuance of faith- ful work far greater success than ever before is sure to rest upon Kenyoifs standard. 107 Track W. H.

Assisfanf Business Manager Frank Hadley Burdick. The Collegian lfounded in 1855. The drift of college journalism within the past few years has been toward the newspaper style. The reason for this becomes evident from the fact that there are so many magazines and periodicals of high merit edited by experts in this line of work. lfor the Collegian, therefore, it was deemed the wiser policy to cut loose from the old methods and follow the general current of college litera- ture by incorporating the newspaper idea. The first issue of the new form of the Collegian appeared as the 1904 Commencement number, In this and in all subsequent issues the idea has been adhered to as well as with the additional purpose to preserve a dignified appearance and a peculiar Kenyon touch in the make-up of the publication. That the try-out has been a decided success is evidenced by the interest which the Collegian has aroused among the alumni of the college. Beginning with a very few subscribers it has gradually increased its circulation until it now reaches almost every living alumnus as well as many friends of the institution. It is gratifying, too, to hear the kindly criticism which reaches us from time to time which overbalances by far the few knocks in which the critic seems to forget that the work is done largely by students in their spare moments and hence must necessarily lack the professional touch of the experienced news- paper man. Since the very beginning of the new Collegian, however, there has been a feeling that some attention should be given to true literary effort. The Re- veille, of course, aims at literary excellence. Other colleges besides publishing such an Annual and a newspaper, issue a literary publication at stated periods. The question arose, Could not Kenyon do the same? The opportunity came sooner than was expected. The President and the Secretary of the General Alumni Association and several other prominent alumni members have of their own accord taken up the matter and as a result we have the present college paper with the increased number of columns, combining both the literary and the news- paper styles. The literary material, consisting of articles of general college interest, is written by the older Kenyon alumni, many of whom are journalists of recognized ability. These have promised to act as regular contributors to the paper. In addition to this the financial policy of the Collegian has been strength- ened by the creation of a board of directors consisting of the Editor-in-chief, a member of the Alumni Association and a member of the Faculty. The duty of this body is to assist and advise the Business Manager and thus insure a safe and a continuous activity in this department of the paper. Hence it can be concluded that the Kenyon Collegian is now on a fair way to win back its old prestige of the days when it was one of the very few of college publications and so become in a larger sense an honor to the institution which it represents. F, H. 120 Philomafhesian Founded in 1827, the Philomathesian Literary Society has ever played a prominent part in the history of Kenyon. In the earlier days when inter-col- legiate athletics were unknown, the literary work occupied practically the whole of the spare time of the student. The early members of Philo were intensely interested in their work for the Society. The Reveille for last year contained a promise of an awakening in the society of this earlier earnestness and high standards of work. In a very large measure this has been accomplished. , Never in recent years has the membership been so large and enthusiastic. The literary programmes have been elaborate and in each case have been faithfully prepared and carefully presented. In the first annual debate on the Stires foundation, Philo was represented by three men, two of whom won the prizes. The rivalry between our society and Nu Pi Kappa has been strong this year, but has not resulted in a joint debate owing to the fact that the college has entered the field of inter--collegiate debating. ln this work Philo is taking an active part. These debates will be a great influence in the societies' work, necessitating as they do, much careful preparation and drill. The Alumni will watch the progress with interestg for debating and oratory in Kenyon are activities which have had too little prominence in late years. There is still one feature lacking in the Held of literary work which formerly meant much to Kenyon men. This is the Twenty-Second Day debate. The present semester system is not convenient to the holding of this debate between the two societies since the date set follows so closely upon the semester exam- inations. This year, however, a movement has been started to revive the custom. This is largely due to the glorious offer of the class of Eighty to provide prizes for the contest. Next year will, no doubt, see the debate firmly re-established in the program of the literary activities of the college. The large number of Sophomores and Freshmen in the enrollment of Philo, and the increased zeal and interest in the work are a guarantee for the continued activity and prosperity of the society. Not in late years have we been able with so much confidence to assure graduate members of her success and to encourage so much the hope of her future strength and usefulness. F. H. H.

Youmans Na Pi Kappa Literary Society During the years 1831 and 1832, bitter political and sectional feeling arose among the members of the Philomathesian Literary Society, which resulted in the withdrawal of thirteen southern members for the purpose of organizing a new society. The organization was perfected on June 23, 1832, and the name, Nu Pi Kappa, chosen. Resolutions were drawn up setting forth the reasons for the separation, the preamble reading as follows: In consequence of the mis- judgecl and censurable conduct of certain members of the Philomathesian Society, a party spirit was excited, dividing the Society into a Northern and a Southern, and making it advisable and almost necessary, for the individual improvement and well-being of the whole, that a separation should take place. Feeling between the two societies ran high, and but little inducement was needed to start a light. This antagonism continued until the oubreak of the Civil War, when the majority of the Southern members left for their homes either to enlist or to serve their cause in some other way. Prom this time until the early '9o's the society existed only at rare intervals. For months and years at a time no meetings were held. In the college year of iQ3 and ,Q4, however, new stimulus was given and the society came into prominence once more. The rec- ords show an average attendance of over thirty for that year. This prosperity continued until the year of loo and 'o1. lt happened unfortunately that in this year the officers all graduated and a new election had been neglected. No one seemed to assume the responsibility of reorganization and the society drifted along in an unsettled condition until the fall of 1903. At this time a meeting of the old members was called, officers chosen, and new men taken into the society. The year was a very successful one from a standpoint of accomplish- ment, but at the end, graduation took away many of the best speakers and skillful debaters. The past year has been marked by a long stride in literary progress. Nu Pi Kappa members are all in sympathy with the inauguration of inter-collegiate debating, and the experience gained in trying for a college debating team will improve the style and conndence of every man. The society has taken in several new members from the Preshman'class, and from the showing they have made thus far, they bid fair to be successful candidates for the college debating team in the next two or three years. Nu Pi Kappa has nearly completed a year's work, which though not exceedingly brilliant, is still characterized by the zeal for better things, which is bound, to bring success in the end. G. A.

'4The Heart of a Hero. Kenyon Christian Union The Kenyon Christian Union is an organization of Kenyon students united by Christian sympathies. The aims of this organization are modest. It was not started in an outburst of enthusiasm: neither is it kept alive by rallies. It is conducted on the silent conviction that it is doing good. The good is almost imperceptible at times, but it is in a direction that makes it invaluable. Two purposes are lcept in mind. The one pertains to- the individual, the other to the student body. The individual is benefited in several ways. The meetings are in part devotional, opening and closing with prayer. During the meeting some topic, morality, will, character or some subject of a similar nature, is discussed. Or perhaps, the meeting may take a practical turn. On such occa- sions such questions as How to spend our leisure time in college ? or Manh- ness in athletics, will be treated. A leader is appointed for each meeting and he conducts the devotional exercises and opens the discussion. The truth of the saying ln unity there is strength, is brought home very vividly to the members of the Kenyon Christian Union. It one of them takes a stand on a moral principle, he is sure of the support of the other members. Hence one is encouraged to take an upright stand in college life. The organization is of particular value to the man just entering college. It aids him to maintain the principles he has already formed and to formulate better ones. E He is not a stranger in a strange landf' He has unknown friends about him. The influence on the student body is not so far reaching. It is barely per- ceptible. But it does this. It furnishes men who are alive to the moral welfare of the co-llege. These surely exert some influence on public opinion. In most cases, to point out the right is sufficient to guide our student activities. The weekly meeting sometimes shows the members the right course to pursue by a discussion of the matter in question. Such is our organization. Its efforts however feeble are in the right direc- tion. VVe hope First, to improve ourselves and then to try to help' others. VVe are seldom noticed but we continue our work, quietly and unostentatiously. 'We hope that our field of action will spread, that our membership will be increased and that our organization may contribute more and more to the good of the college. We hope that in ourselves may be developed character and manhood, that we may help our college to attain those great aims for which Philander Chase founded it. I. A, S. 130 Kenyon Christian Union M.

The Senior play has grown to be one of the foremost pleasures of the gala week. And well it mightg for if tradition speaks aright the performances of the past, first a play of good Queen Bess' day and then a classic by Sheridan, excelled along all lines. The production of nineteen hundred and five was marked by a liveliness and a technical perfection that would have done credit to an experienced company. The senior class presented Arthur TN. Pinero's bright and spirited farce The Magistratef' From the time that the curtain arose and disclosed Cis in the midst of a rather interesting situation with his beloved Beatle, the attention of the audience never uiavered until the whole horrid secret was out and Mrs. Posket was forced to acknowledge her age. As Mr. Posket, Clingman played well the English magistrate in all his varied aspects. Smith, Upson, Xkfeiant and Long assumed feminine attire and acted the ladies with a delightful technique. Oliver made a superb Cis. As the doughty warrior, Wfilliams appeared in all the naturalness of an accomplished performer. The vivid representations of Ded- erick and Tschan carried one beyond the peaceful valley of the Kokosing to the boulevards of the gay Paris. Quinn and Ferenbauglx divided their time between several parts with a variation that was surprising. The class of nineteen hundred and live is to be congratulated upon the excellence of its production. From a histrionic standpoint we are inclined to believe that the senior play ranks in the very vanguard of dramatic activity at Kenyon. It is to be hoped that each commencement will bring its senior play. The uniform excellence which has marked the past productions certainly tends to make the senior plays a most happy custom. 7 Mr. Posket, Magistrate of Mulberry Street Court, Agatha Posket, The Magistrate A farce in three acts By Arthur XV.

ADDRESSES Andrew Carnegie, Hon. Albert Douglass, Hon. Talfourd P. Linn, Richard W'atson Gilder. MUSIC Glee Club. Stanton Kenyon, hear again the story Of a hero son of thineg W'hose great name amid the glory Of a Hag once rent and gory, Shall forever brightly shine. His fair fame thy fame endowers, And his memory in thy bowers, Like the ivy on thy towers, Shall forever cling and twine. Kenyon heard he hugles calling In the chiming of thx' hellsg XV hen the evening shade was falling, Wfith no war-sign more appalling Than thy Long VValk's sentinels? ln the mornings crimson sally 'Gainst the night-clouds' raid and rally, Did he catch far down the valley, lNar's apocalyptic Hells? Kenyon, by thy running river, W7here the bending willows are, Wfhere the willows quake and quiver Did he ever start and shiver At a vision seen afar? Wfhen, that men no more like cattle, Should endure the fetter's rattle, He would sit directing battle, Hurling thunder-bolts of war? Kenyon, in thy mimic fighting Something strove 'gainst prison-barsg From the lamp of thine igniting There was something of thy lighting In the blood-red star of Mars. ln thy hero statesman's story There is something of thy glory, Wfhich shall last till earth is hoary, Flaming in the stripes and stars. O. E. VV' Xx xy V N X Xxx---Arr! NE' 4 N .X frm Stanton Day Upon April 26, Andrew Carnegie, the donor of the endowment for the Edwin M. Stanton Professorship of Economics and Sociology, visited Kenyon for the purpose of formally dedicating his gift. The occasion was one of great celebra- tion. Witli Mr. Carnegie came Richard XfVatson Gilder, Editor of the Century Magazine, and Colonel McCook, '66 Special trains were run from Cleveland and Columbus. Gambier was crowded with visitors and a gala-day aspect uni- versally prevailed. Shortly after II o'clocli, Mr. Carnegie inspected the college buildings. At the various entrances to the dormitories, he was greeted by groups of students. Altogether informal, these meetings form one of the happiest recollections of the day. At this time, Mr. Carnegie impressed the students by his jolly good nature and his interest in them. After a tour of the buildings, the Academic Procession was formed at Hubbard Hall and moved to Rosse Hall. Headed by Dr. A. C. Hall, Marshal of the day, the procession entered that building, the interior of which was most gracefully decorated. After the Marshal, came the Seniors. The faculty, holders of honorary degrees and the church dignitaries formed the remainder of the line. The President of the College and Mr. Carnegie brought up the rear. The exercises of the morning were opened by an invocation, pronounced by the Rt. Rev. Wfilliam A. Leonard, D. D. Dr. A. C. Hall, the Edwin M. Stanton Professor of Economics and Sociology, then presented Andrew Carnegie for the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Dr. Hall's presentation speech was a clever appreciation of the life and works of Mr. Carnegie. After the degree had been conferred, Mr. Carnegie delivered an address on Edwin McMasters Stanton. This address, particularly interesting as coming from a man who not only knew Stanton but who has a world-wide reputation for sagacity and knowledge of men, was closely followed. Witliotit becoming a mere hero-worshiper, Mr. Carnegie presented the character and the works of Stanton in such a light as to increase the respect and admiration of even Kenyon men for the great war secretary. VVhen the address was finished every Kenyon man felt more deeply the significance of his Alma Mater possessing such a son as Edwin McMasters Stanton. Col. McCook in a speech full of promise for the future, presented to the college a portrait of Stanton. This painting is the work of C. F. Filson, of Steu- benville, and is counted as one of the best portraits of Edwin M. Stanton. The Glee Club rendered a song, especially written for the occasion by Prof. O. E. 'Watson The exercises closed by the reading of an Ode by Dr. George C. S. Southworth. The literary excellence of this Ode attracted general comment. 161 Immediately after the exercises of the morning, a reception was given by Bishop and Mrs. Leonard at Kokosing. At this time the visitors were given the opportunity of meeting Mr, Carnegie. The luncheon in Rosse Hall began about 3 o'clock, and consisted of several courses. During the luncheon the glee club sang several songs and Mr. A. I. Dow rendered several solos. Col. McCook called the meeting to order and after a short preliminary speech, introduced Mr. Carnegie as the first speaker of the afternoon. Mr. Car- negie spoke in a witty manner. Witli intense earnestness he spoke of his impres- sions of Gambier and Kenyon. He told of his interest in Kenyon in such a man- ner as to leave no doubt that he was, indeed, a true friend of the institution. Nlfhen Mr. Carnegie had finished, the glee club sang the 'lBallad of Andrew, written for the occasion. The Hon. Albert Douglass, 772, was the next speaker. Mr. Douglass recently gained much renown by defeating for nomination for Con- gress, a man who had held the office for a long term and who was considered invincible. The tone of Mr. Douglass's devotion for his Alma Mater was evi- denced by the way in which he declared that the greatest pleasure his success gave him was the opportunity it offered to bring some credit to Kenyon College. The Hon. Talfourd P. Linn, '72, spoke on behalf of the Board of Trustees, and thanked Mr. Carnegie for his kind interest in the affairs of Kenyon. The last address was made by Richard lfVatson Cwilder. This eminent man of letters, in a speech noticeable for its smoothness, concluded the exercises of the day in a manner both interesting and instructive. His address was rich in high ideals and lofty sentiments. Mr, Carnegie left Gambier immediately after the close of the afternoon exer- cises, his private car being attached to the Kenyon special bound for Cleveland. The day, most auspiciously celebrated in honor of Kenyon's honored son, Edwin McMasters Stanton, will long be remembered as one of pleasure and of profit. The undergraduates cannot help being uplifted and broadened by their knowledge of Andrew Carnegie. His forceful presentation of the real worth of Edwin M. Stanton cannot fail to bring the most happy results. It is, indeed, a privilege and an honor to belong to an Alma Mater that can glory as Kenyon did on this mem- orable occasion. ' 162 Ode For Stanton 'Day I. Statesman and jurist, entered into rest What time our grand Republic loosed her helm After the toils of war! Among the blest None shines more radiant in the heavenly realm Than he, whose name our laureate honors overwhelm, STANTON the patient, fiery, masterful and bold, Persistent, wielding freedom's sword of iiame, Man cast in the Arthurian, knightly mold VVhose blazon vibrates from the trump of fame Down the resounding avenues of time the same. As some fair star ascends the arch of night, VVhile round the pole the constellations wheel, His good report mounts brighter and more bright, Resplendent in the galaxy of commonweal: Beside his tomb a reverent people kneel. II. His perfect courage in that hour awoke Wlien craven counsels paralyzed the arm Of the Supreme Executive. He spoke In stern dissent broke the deceitful calm, Unmasked disunion, startled our millions with a shrill alarm. VVhen nerveless leaders flung our surging lines Upon the southern rock, to break in crimson foam, His eye discerned Ulysses of the wise designs, Qur later much-enduring hero, whom no dome Cf Ithaca awaited, but a fane among a grateful nation's shrines. Impetuous of speech when vivid truth unchained the living lightning of his tongue To smite the mouths of counsellors of double things, To speed a righteous cause on morningis glittering wings, 'Io bar interminable parleyg when the sirens sung Of peace with shame, a union bound with chains And soft surrender after sore and desperate campaigns. III. Servant of God. as one whose saintly blood fiowed from a lineage o-f blameless Friends, He urged Emancipation ere the godlilce Lincoln breathed the fateful word, VVhich disenthralled a race and cloudless splendor lends To Liberty,-by the Spirit of the Lord conferred, Till listening angels the sweet edict heard. At last the ermine, white and unsullied as his spotless name, In that august tribunal where the general voice Concordant hailed him with reverberant acclaim: X'Vl'lCl'lCC envious gods caught him on high, the darling of their choice.

But now he felt a fearful fear That rose to such a pitch It haunted him by day and night, - The fear of dying' rich. He did not want the charge to stand On the eternal docket, That A.

Says he, To keep from such a fate I'll alter my char-ac-ter: I'll leave off making steel, and be Henceforth a benefactor. 165 took, ln theologic zeal he gave An organ to a Church, And then endowed an Institute Of Biblical Research.

The Fire in itself was indeed a great misfortuneg but what was infinitely worse, was the death of the three cadets: james J. Fuller, of Warren, O., j'. Everett Henderson, of Ridge- farm, Ill., and Wfintield S. Kunkle, of Ashtabula, G. lt is supposed that these boys were not awakened by the alarm of Fire, and that they never knew what happened to them. This lamented calamity, coming as it did, the last of a series of misfortunes, cast a gloom over the entire college. Nothing certain is known concerning the origin of the fire. Mr. Wfilliams, one of the Regents, came into the buildings about 3:00 A. M., and made an inspection. Everything, however, appeared natural and accordingly Mr. XfVil- liams went to bed. The pastry cook in the kitchen got up a little after three, and set some bread. after which she went back to bed. At 4:30 o'clock, when the fire was first discovered by one of the cadets, the two upper halls of Delano Hall were one mass of flames. These floors were entirely given up to the sleeps ing apartments of the cadets. It is a peculiar circumstance that only the halls were on tire, while there was scarcely any smoke in most of the rooms. The First thing that many of the boys did upon awakening was to open their door into the hall. In every instance of this in Delano Hall, a sheet of flame broke into the room' and the occupant only escaped by slamming the door. In a few cases, when a cadet awoke, his door was plainly outlined in the darkness by the eating flames. Thus all means of escape through the halls were shut off. There were Fire escapes at the windows of the majority of the rooms. But from a few of the rooms the cadets were compelled to jump. Only two of those who jumped were badly hurt. These were Henry C. Barnes and Lennox W. Baker, both of Cleveland. Barnes was seriously injured and will probably never recover from the effects. Baker, on the other hand, although badly bruised will come through all right. All the other cadets who awoke escaped without any serious injury. Many of them climbed down by the aid of vines and water spouts. Nicholson was the only cadet who was dangerously burned. It is uncertain whether he will ever regain the use of his hands. The tire burnt with miraculous rapidity and it was impossible to save much from any of the buildings except the Annex, although there was a large number present who offered their services. In an hour and a half from the time when the fire was 'first discovered nothing was left standing except the bare walls. All efforts to check the progress of the tire were fruitless. Since there was no fire department in the village, the Hames raged with horrible fury. Those of the cadets who escaped in their nightclothes were supplied with clothing by the Bexley and College students. Temporary apartments for them were obtained in the various buildings of the other institutions. Mr. VVyant's house was converted into a hospital where the injured boys were taken and attended by Drs. Russell, Viforkman, and VVelker. After the Ere had burned itself out many of the rickety walls were thrown down. The heat of the ire had been so great that the mortar between the bricks in some places was entirely disintegrated. In one instance, when a rope was passed over the top of the wall, and made fast below, the rope, instead of pulling over the wall, cut a furrow to the bottom through the loose brick. During the afternoon a stream of water was arranged to play on the ruins of Delano Hall to cool the debris so that the work for the recovery of the bodies of the missing cadets might commence as soon as possible. On the following day many of the students from the college began the work of excavating in the ruins where the bodies of the three cadets were supposed to be. During the course of the day all of these were found. They were so badly burned that they could scarcely be distinguished. The funeral services were held in the college chapel, early on the morning of the 26th. All of the cadets that were able attended, and accompanied the remains to the station, whence they were sent to their several homes for burial. It is estimated that the loss of the buildings will approximately amount to 565000, of this 335,000 is covered by insurance. Most of the cadets and mas- ters lost all their personal property, since few had time to waste in trying to save their belongings. Une boy had a hundred dollars in his coat pocket, but on account of the Ere, did not even have time to reach for his coat. Directly after the fire it was announced by the Regents of the Academy that school would be continued in other buildings of the village. Later, however, at the meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Col- lege it was found to be impossible to rebuild the requisite buildings for the school by the following autumn. Accordingly, the Regents thought it best to close their business under the firm of Wyaiit St Vlfilliams, since it would be impossible for them to carry on the school under the present conditions except at a loss. The Board of Trustees of the College met in Columbus on March 12, to con- sider plans concerning the Academy. Resolutions of sympathy from the Board to the Regents of the Academy were drawn up, expressing the sincere regret of the Trustees for their loss. It was then decided to rebuild the Academy. The business of erecting the new buildings was put in the hands of a building com- mittee, consisting of Messrs. Peirce, Linn, Dempsy and Kirk. The new Acad- emy is not expected to be situated on the exact location of the former buildings, but probably on the hill where the athletic field is. The buildings are to be strictly modern and as fire proof as possible. The fire was a severe blow to the College, for it will be two years, at least, before the proper buildings can be rebuilt. It brought Kenyon again before the eyes of the world in the light of another disaster. lt is alone due to Kenvon's indomitable spirit that she has been able to stand as well as she has the successive misfortunes of the past year. G. S. S. The Songs of the Classes The following verses come from the pen of a well-known alumnus. The are best explained in his own words: One of the 'old fellowsf some eight or nine years after he was out of college, was, according to a custom, now abandoned, asked to he the Commencement poet. It was necessary for him to write some- thing that would take at least an hour to read, or nearly that, and he did so. This was something over twenty years ago. The same old boy, now being something over fifty years old, and being asked to write something for 'The Bookf has thought that it might be interesting, it it can be done anonymously, to print these four songs. They are given as a sort of literary curiosity, that the men of to-day may see what a graduate of ten years' standing, more than twenty years ago, had as a view of the character and standing of the four classes. In the poem, as a whole, these songs were led up to by some descriptive philosophizing and moral- izing, on the nature and character of the college student and his evolution. The Freshman Song Here as Freshmen we have come, And we think that we are some And we guess, That there never was a class Wliicli so cleverly did pass You'll confess. VVe are strong and we are wise, VVe've a taste for apple pies Very sweet, VV e intend to be good boys Though we sometimes make a noise Hard to beat. Wfe know Virgil well, and Homer, Fresh for us is a mis-nomer VVe repel., In Algebra WC'1'6 mighty Though our spelling is but flighty, Truth to tell. In Geometry Qby Tappanj Scarcely ever does it happen But we shine. For our speeches and our essays XWe'll be famed, Professor guesses Theylre so fine. Oh, 'tis pleasant to he learning Our old ignorance to he spurnmg More and more. And, perhaps, there's more to learn of VVhen the standing we shall earn of Sophomore. The Sophomore Song We are the Sophoinoric youth, And we have grown so sniart, so sinait That we can prove the circle square, The whole less than a part. Of pedagogues we have no fear You could not wring from us a tear. And we must scare the F1-eshnian VVith trick and prank and furious yells, Ancl we must tease the janitor, lily stealing elappers from the bells. Every tradition well fulfillg Perhaps invent pranks sillier still. And we must court expulsion By many, many wild assaults On every college rule and law And never own our faults. It is an ancient, honored rule, The Soph more oft must play the fool The junior Song The junior is a happy man and joyous is his lay. He takes good cheer whene'er he can, by night and eke by day Though Physics be a dreadful bore, and Aeschylus the same His jolly heart is never sore, his cheek ne'er tinged with shame. n For he has passed his Rubicon and stands upon those shores, XV hence he looks back and smiles upon the tricks of Sophomores. Qnce he was full of nonsense, too, but that's a day gone by, Sometimes he grins as he counts his sinsg sometimes he heaves a sigh. Freshman, bewareg you'd best take care nor dare to cross his path. For the bounds of caste must not be passed. Dire is the junior's wrath. Theres a tender tone in his serenades, there are ribbons and flowers in the drawer J VVhere he keeps his collars and cuffs, fair maids, 'tis you know what they're for. Oh, 'tis jolly to be a junior, then, a junior handsome and wiseg To know so much about French and Dutch and with telescopes sweep the skies To be honored and petted by Prex. and Prof. because we have wisdom acquired J i To be able to scoff at the ignorant Soph., and by all the sweet girls be admired. The Senior Song Uh, with mortar board and gown we parade about the town, And we wither under-classnien with a glance of our eyes, lfVe have almost reached A. B., we can very nearly see The color of the sheepskin that's before us as the prize. VVe have labored for four years, oft with hopes and oft with fears, Happy years of toil and pleasure, we have seen them glide away, And the outlook is but dim, and the chances are but slim That we'll e'er again be jolly as we are this day. Oh, it's well to be a Senior, to have Alma Mater wean you, And turn you out upon the world to bring her renown. Your comineneeinents very nice, but it is a heavy price You have to pay, to be a day's wonder to the town. For our Mother's touch was tender, and we pray that Heaven may send her Sons to honor and to bless her, more, and kinder far than we. May the skies be bright above her, prosper all who help and love her, Every good roll in upon her, as the rivers to the sea. On The Solent I guess that little fantasy is over too, Vernon Harcourt as he said this, sat in his dingy lodgings over a mews in Salisbury Square, London, looking over a late edition of the Pall Mall Gazette containing the latest returns of the Liberal victory and the mining quotations from the Stock Exchange. Erom which source his destroyed fantasy had arisen or exploded I knew not, but I knew Harcourt too well to ask any questions. If he had anything to add he would add it and if not-well he would not. Wfe had both of us been boys together, so long ago that Harcourt School was a boys' school then, and I think in an early newspaper essay, in an ecstasy of de- light over his first summer on the Hill , Harcourt had quoted something about sweet girl graduates as being the one thing needful to make Gambier, Heaven. Some of the seniors of his then callow days had laughed at him for his senti- mentalism, as though Hsweet girl graduates could ever be permitted to interfere with the grave and reverend seniors or freshmen either, who then stood their fearful 'fexamsu and were properly conditioned on Gambier Hill. I do not know how it may be in these days, but to be able to go to Gam- bier in those days seemed to some of us youngsters as though we were going to Harrow, or may be to Oxford afterwards. Perhaps our fancy ran wilder then. Somehow 'iGambier on the Hill sounded to some of us like Harrow on the Hill. There were some English b-red boys there then, that is boys who had a strong reverence for their English ancestors, though none ever proved more loyal citizens of America. Tom Brown at Oxford and Doctor Hughes himself were revered as Canon Farrar afterwards became. Several of these boys are bishops now but still the English tradition came down even to the Harcourt lads. And why should it not have been so? XV as not Gambier itself named for that brave English admiral who introduced Henry Clay to the members of the court that decided the treaty of Ghent? Vlfas not Kenyon named for Bishop Chase's friend of that title, and Lady Rosse for whom Rosse Hall is named and Bexley and all the rest of it come from the English friends of the great bishop who founded all the institutions at Gambier? Curiously enough all these fantasies or facts had burned themselves into young Harcourt's soul long before he had left the 'fHill,', to take his place at 176 his moth'er's side out at Tonopah, that wild western mining district now again known only to the mining expert through such speculative securities as Bull frog or Last Ditch,', and names that are only fit for mining journals and some books of the Old Testament. None of us knew much of Harcourt in those days at Gambier, not Doctor Blake himself, except that his father had been an officer with Custer in the Old Army and had lost his life at the affray on The Little Big Horn. 'We knew his mother was sending him to Harcourt with Treasury certificates which bore the engraved pictures of General Phil Sheridan, for he used to show them to us with some pride, and then the kind postmistress used to tell us about their beauty, too, when she had forwarded them to the pension office at Columbus to be cashed. ' NVe, that is one or two of us, learned afterwards that he had started a little paper at Tonopah and that he had invested it all in a hole in the ground and that there was nothing left him except a deed for the mine and a broken pang in his heart for the pretty girl whose father had made a million on the next claim. Adventure had taken me far abroad when who should T pick up in the London Strand one day but Harcourt, his hair now grey, his blue eyes still hope- ful, his spirit still buoyant, with a military frankness which caused Lord Roberts to tell him personally after Megafontain, that whether he had been on the Boer side or not he knew he was a soldier and the son of a soldier. VVinston Churchill had picked him up out of the hospital and sent him down to the Cape with Charley Hands of the Daily Mail and a few American press reporters to that goodly ship which Lady Randolph Churchill, the Duchess of Marlborough. Mrs. Ronalds, Lady Harcourt herself fan American girlj and others had provided. Harcourt had been painting pictures some good, some bad. Herkomer, him- self a native of Cleveland though his ancestors were foreigners, had loaned him the beautiful studio near Hyde Park corner which he was sharing with an illus- trious American sculptress, whose name I need not mention, but whose patronage from Cecil Rhodes and others had made her famous among the smartest of Lon- don's smart set during that period of the rapproachment of Anglo-American feeling which followed the Spanish-American Vlfar and was accentuated by the Boer troubles. And what fantasy is that ?,f l hnally asked Harcourt, for I had just come back from Blenheim Castle on a newspaper errand with an American story based on the facts that Joseph Chamberlain had taken the Kaiser there directly from VVindsor Castle and that the significance of the visit was the manifestation of the Kaiser's acceptance of Mr. Chamberlain's pet idea of an ari- patite arrangement between America, England and Germany, which was also to fulfill the Emperor's ambition for a reinstatement of the old German driebund. 177 The facts I had gained from Count Leckendorf, the German charge de affairs for his chief, the late Count . I had been instrumental in helping him from his rolling chair into his private railway carriage at Wiiiclsor the day be- fore, when he, dying from asthma, had fulhlled the Imperial will by making the journey from London to be discourteously dismissed just as Prince Bismark had been before him. I knew the three column cable I had dispatched to the Herald was good for a hundred pounds, and was anxious to share my joy with Harcourt. 'WVell he said, You know I have always been anxious to paint Lady Betty I-Iarcourt's portrait-the sister of 'Willie Harcourt' as we will call him here, Sir Vernon Harcourt's son. Here I have a cable message telling me it is im- portant for me to be at the Morgan Bank on Friday to meet an agent of the T onopah mines-a dun on my annual assessment which I have always kept you know and here the Pall Mall announces that the Harcourts are off for the Isle of Xfvlgllt for the Cowes races. So you see my chances are gone. No funds, no portraits, nothing. 'It is back to the Army, Sergeant, back to the Army with me.' Now look here Harcourt, I put in You know I am not a Sherlock Holmes, even if Conan Doyle, fat and rosy, does spend his week end in town with me down at the Golden Cross Hotel, Strand, where Dickens found Steerworth. That has nothing to do with it. But do you know that I know a tea merchant? VVell I do know one, a royal good fellow, though he happens to be a baronet. I-Ie is Sir Thomas Lipton. Let me rub the Talismanic ring. I will be Aladdin. Sir Thomas has asked me to go down and spend a few days on board the Sham- rock with him during Cowes week. He is a splendid fellow and very fond of American newspaper men. His Cingalese servants make the best cocktails in the world. Do you know how they ever learned to make them? I asked Sir Thomas that once and what do you suppose he answered?,' Give it upf' Naturally, 'VVell,' he said, 'how do you suppose I entertained thirty newspaper report- ers for forty days in the doldrums, waiting for a wind off Sandy Hook, on my first rate without sending these Cingalese up to the Vifalsdorf-Astoria to learn to make American drinks for American reporters' Therefore, I continued, I have only to send a wire to Sir Thomas, to say that I am bringing an American illustrator down with me, and we shall be as welcome as primroses on BeaconsHeld's birthday, and Lady Randolph thrown in. Thereupon that befell which quite changed the current of Harcourt's career and came near landino' both of us in the hands of the constables of the Isle of Wiglit. VV e had bundled a lot of little things together, blue serges and flannels, some b , 178 I rubber soled tennis shoes, that would hold on deck, a mackintosh or two, and the inevitable English supply of pipes and tobacco, and were off on the afternoon train for Portsmouth. There we arrived at nightfall and in half an hour were aboard the ferry that was to convey us across to the island. VVe arrived there amid a haven of yachting, expecting to Hnd a sort of Coney Island of illuminations. Alas, there were but a few dimly lit inns to be seen anywhere. I had descried one low roofed habitation with a more cheerful show of lights a half mile or so from the landing, and thinking this, indeed, was an inn where weary pilgrims seeking for lodgings might take their rest, we betook ourselves thence. - The low roofed building spread along a good distance. It faced upon the sea with a strong but narrow stone path on that side which seemed in the dark- ness uninviting. But there was oncour left a gateway with a rising embankment whose pathway led to the lantern overhanging an inviting doorway. I-Iarcourtf' said I, we will enter here. for here we shall ind rest and cheer at lastf' just at this moment, however, a sturdy man who under the faint glare of the doorway lamp I could only perceive to be a person clad in a blue uniform with brass buttons and whom I instantly conceived to be a Bobby, bounded down from the slope and grasped me in both his sturdy arms. My heart dropped to the depths of my shoes. I saw at once that we had intruded upon some private grounds, and had been taken for intruders if not as robbers by the lynx-eyed policeman. I Ough, gasped I, VVe are in for it now, I know. Oh I beg a thousand pardonsf' exclaimed the stranger, I just left my wife and sister on the terrace up there, Wfe were watching the lights on the Solent, and I had forgotten about the terrace. Come in and have a Scotch and soda with me. Ough, I gasped, the fault is all ours, we are Americans and took this place for an inn. Oh that is all rightf' returned the stranger, this is the Royal Yacht Club. Be my guest for the moment and I may direct you to some sort of a hotel after all. I am Willie Harcourt. I married an American girl, so you see we are not altogether strangers. And this, said I, is another I-Iarcourt, an American who bears your father's name of Vernon as well.'.' L 'Envoy. A There was a merry week for me on board the Shamrock in the Solent off the Isle of WVight. Only those who have known what it is to be a guest of Sir Thomas Lipton can know just what that sort of a thing means to a stranger in a strange land. He has been one himself I was going to say, yet he is a stranger no longer in any land. Thirteen years of his manhood were spent in 179 Texas and there, he told many years ago, he learned what it is to gain American pluck and perseverence. For eleven years of his life as a clerk in a Glasgow store, he told me, that he only twice missed the six oyclock train in the morning and the eight return at night. It was by these methods that he became a merchant prince of England and was enabled to bestow 5o,ooo pounds sterling to make the Princess of Vtfales' jubilee hospital fund a success, and to earn the reputation of being one of the truest sportsmen in England. VV e were sipping something -tea perhaps - on the deck of the yacht Sham- rock in Cowes Harbor one day that week, when a smart little sloop sailed past us towards the open sea. She dipped her colors, and Sir Thomas ordered his quartermaster to respond. A young man whom I recognized as Harcourt stood near a white clad feminine hgure at the tiller of the yacht. And whose yacht is that ? I queried. 'lOh don't you know ? responded Sir Thomas. That is Willie Harcourt and his sister, Lady Betty. I thought you told me you had met him. i'Yes I have, I replied, but it was in the night time, but now strange to say the sun is shining- on the Solent. W. S.

TRITON. :H Fasserfs Downfall Archie Sparke was certainly a fusser. VVhy, when he stepped off the train upon his first arrival in Gambier, the very pictures on the Harcourt walls shook in happy anticipation of his Seminary career. He took the young ladies by storm. Fair to look upon, not a hair out of place, cravat arranged in the lastest ultra- fashionable manner and possessive of a general air that bespoke the band-box, he was a typical breaker of hearts. During his first year at college more than one fair Harcourt lass wasted her young affections on him. Wasted because Archie was far from constant and was continually seeking new lands to conquer. Many were the boxes of fudge won and lost upon the wager of his whim. Many a fair damsel became a wall-flower at some dance or reception because of his actions. Now at the middle of his Sophomore year, Archie was himself in a dilemma. Two fair young Harcourt beauties called him dearest One he could take to the Prom. One he must forever be a stranger to. How could he solve the question. Little did this irresistible fusser dream, one fair day, as he sat in his easy chair, pipe in mouth, gazing out of the window across the campus toward the distant hills of blue, that fate was remorselessly plotting out his future. Little did he imagine as he sat there idly regarding the beautiful Kokosing as it lay like a thread of silver in the valley, that chance was to settle the question for him. He arose, at last, and crossed the room to his desk. He picked up too pictures and feasted his eyes upon the counterfeits of the two divinities that were the cause of his disquietude. ' Oh fair Estelle, he mused, will it be you with your 'quips and cranks and wanton wilesf How often have you lifted me from the slough of despond. But you are llighty. You are never the same and then there is that ether fellow. He writes too often to suit my fancy., Or majestic Catherine will it be you with your splendid mind forever dwelling upon high and noble ideals. Shall I feed my soul by remaining at your side? VVhich shall I take to the Prom.? Well, the matter neednit be settled at once. I'l1 let it go a day or so. And now I must write to both Estelle and Catherine. 182 I-Ie seated himself and began his letter. The first was to Estelle. Oh, my dearest, sweetest charmerf, he wrote, how little do you know with what ven- eration, with what adoration, with what affection, I think of you. VV' hy even the distraction of the class in Sophomore history cannot take my mind from you. Yes, Estelle, I agree with you. Wfhoever is burdened with the stupid Catherine at the Prom. will be in misery. I can't conceive how anyone could have a good time in her company. She is a regular bore, always talking about the divine inspirations and universalistic truths and all that rot. Tomorrow evening will find me at the reception and I hope to have a good long talk with youf Until then believe me to be Your ever constant lover, ARcHn3. Thus to Catherine: f'My divine Gambier Portia, my sweetest Catherine, the ideas that you suggested in your last conversation have borne fruit and I have but just now laid aside the essay of Emerson which you recommended. Isn't his treatment of the subject grand and noble. I am going to read that poem of Browning the very first thing tomorrow afternoon. VVhen I see you tomorrow evening I hope we can get away by ourselves and discuss that essay of Carlyle which we touched upon last week. You are certainly right in what you say about that girl Estelle. She is surely a frivolous, rattle-brained, nonsensical girl. I-Ier mind is never occupied for a moment except upon dress or boys or something like that. The fellow that takes her to the Prom. will certainly get tired of her chatter and her small talk. She is an awful bore. I wouldn't want to be unfortunate enough to be with her very long. By the way I have ordered a copy of Locke's Essay at the Co-op and will read it. From what you say it must be very enjoyable. 'iQh, all-complete Catherine I will ever be your most affectionate admirer, your faithful lover, ARcHIE. He folded the letters and addressed the envelopes. Ah! fate why so inex- orable! A knock came at the door. In his confusion Archie placed Estelle's letter in Catherine's envelope and vice versa. I-Iis inopportune visitor dismissed, the ardent lover brushed his coat, combed his hair and re-arranged his cravat. I-Ie picked up his hat, the latest style known to Gambier, put the letters in his pocket and left the room. Down the path he sauntered with that hoppy step so peculiar to youths of his type. Who was it that said that such a walk marked out the fop? As the gay Archie passed through the gates he saw his Estelle coming along in her usual buoyant manner. As he passed he handed her the letter addressed to her. Oh! Archie, it was only the beginning of the end. He crossed over to jack- sonls and left the letter for Catherine in a certain book upon the show-case. VVon- der what Jack could get for that book on some days? Archie, all unconscious of the terrible blow hanging over his head, entered Bill I-Iunter's Amusement Palace. Nick was hanging about as usual and was 183 ready for a game. A half-hour passed. Archie then remembered that he had an errand at Bexley. Tearing himself away he proceeded on toward the clerical end of the hill. Brooklyn Avenue was passed when Archie became aware of the approach of two familiar figures. Catherine and Estelle together! What por- tended that unusual circumstance. Retreat was impossible. On he stalked to his utter confusion. Fair Estelle reached him first, She was a sight. Anger uncontrolled made her an awesome figure. There, take your old pin, you horrid, impolite, deceitful thing. Never speak to me again. Frivolous am I, nonsensical, rattle-brained? Oh! How I hate you! Archie your dearest sweetest charmer has found you out at last. Astounded, the unhappy lover was rooted to the ground. Mi: Sparkef' sounded in the even tones of Catherines biting sarcasm, your conduct is beyond any excusable explanation. Hereafter you and I must forever be strangers. Your actions condemn you to the oblivion of forgetfulness. I shall never bother my head about you again. Perhaps you would like this letter, which has opened my eyes to your perfidy, as a souvenir of my contempt for you, and Catherine passed on, out of Archie's life forever. Archie did not go to the Prom. I-Ie no longer writes two letters at the same time. And he always encloses his epistle before directing the envelope. x . 184 Frolic or The Miseries of a Mis-spent Hour :X FA RCE Dramafis Personae The Professor of Frolic.

All complaints should be made to john Parkerj 186 Overheard at the Prom That reminds me of an experience I had in London, said she, raising her eyebrows. It was nine or ten years ago, soon after we had come to- Gam- bier, that we were spending the summer in England. My husband was passing the afternoon at the Abbey, where I was to meet him after making a few pur- chases in the fashionable shops of Cheapside. My errands were soon over, and unaccompanied I set out for VVestminster. I had just entered Fleet Street when a tall dapper looking young man approached me and somewhat politely warned me to be more careful of the silver chatelaine purse which dangled from my arm. I-Ialf inclined to take his warning kindly, and half vexed at his imperti- nence, for he seemed to imply that I was somewhat rural, I thanked him coldly and proceeded. Five minutes later just in front of the entrance to Hotel Cecil the stranger again approached me and repeated his former remarks. By this time I was thoroughly indignant and, needless to say, informed him of my thor- ough competence to manage my own affairs. Surely I was rid of him now. Ilut fancy my surprise when as I was crossing Trafalgar Square he suddenly appeared before me, and for the third time delivered his boresome admonition. My first impulse was to reprimand him sharply but it occurred to me that perhaps he might he more experienced than I in the wiles of London crooks, nor was I mis- taken in this, but as you shall soon see he was no philanthropist. After I had brushed past him I was tempted to look down at the purse. To my dismay I found that the bottom of the purse had been cut away, my money was gone, and the stranger had disappeared into that almost impassable throng of pedestrians and vehicles at Charing Cross. The futility of any attempt to apprehend the culprit was at once manifest, so somewhat out of humor I made my way down Wliiteliall toward the Abbey. ' Well that's a delightful little story, chuckled the professor of English, inadvertently emphasizing the last word and ruflling his brow until it resembled a choppy sea. At first she was a litfle mortiiied since he seemed to doubt her episode, but a closer interpretation of his countenance showed her those unmis- takable signs which always accompany unpleasant recollections. The professor slid down the rest of the way into his commodious chair and then for a few moments vigorously pulled his scant mustache as if undecided whether to disclose a secret. Evidently the debate was given to the affirmative, for a pleasant flash transformed his Visage and he began: Last summer, owing to the inadequacy of our American libraries, I was compelled to go abroad in search of ancient manuscripts dealing with early Anglo- Saxon times. Such success attended my efforts that I had completed my task two weeks sooner than I had expected. Leaving Oxford I made my advent into the British Metropolis on a dismal Friday afternoon, and at once proceeded to Lincoln's Inn, for I desired a quiet, and at the same time a central rendezvous. Rather tired from the journey and not caring to venture forth in the depressing 187 atmosphere, I delved into a volume of Dickens now doubly interesting because of myoproximity to the setting of the novel. Before retiring I had resolved to arise early on the following morning and visit Smithfield. Saturday was a pleasant, if not a clear day. When Big Ben was striking eight I might have been seen hurrying up Aldersgate Street, through Little Brit- ain to Smithfield Market where I found a veritable ocean of heterogenous indi- viduals, each weaving his way here and there with apparent indifference to every- one else. My mind at once went back to my readings and I thought of the time of Dickens, when it was impossible to walk along the streets without running into thugs or highwaymen. I thought, while looking at the orderly crowd, how civilization had advanced in the last few decades. Though I congratulated Lon- don that its past was now a matter of fiction yet I must confess my curiosity was somewhat disappointed. I had hoped to see some of the light-fingered pick- pockets at work. Newgate Prison seemed to stand there as a monument to the crime of past generations and to all appearances was no longer necessary. As I sauntered back to Lincoln's Inn I felt much safer than when I had set out and my faith in the integrity of modern Londoners had greatly risen. eSunday was an ideal day. In the morning I attended the service at St. Paulls celebrated for its inspiring music. Shortly after two o'clock dressed in my frock coat I set out for Hyde Park, passing along Holborn, Oxford Street and entering the park through the magnificent Marble Arch. Indeed it seemed as if the aristocracy of the whole world was in Hyde Park that afternoon exer- cising and basking in the sunshine. Some lounged in splendid carriages drawn by white horses and followed by foot-men 5 others walked along with stately and dignified stride. As I crossed the Serpentine and strutted along Rotten Row, that queen of fashionable promenades, I felt sure everyone I saw was no less than a lord or a duke, or perhaps even a prince. So stylish were they all that I must confess I felt somewhat out of place. At length I became weary of the gorgeous scene .and hastened back by way of Piccadilly and Long Acre. The afternoon's walk had been a long one and the exercise had enlivened my spirits though somewhat fatigued my body. Going to my room I took o-ff my coat and my hat for they were uncomfortably close by this time. Then I picked my meerschaum from the table, and reaching into my pocket for a little tobacco. discovered that . . . well what do you think? Your tobacco pouch was gone said Ashe with the complacency of one who had given the right solution. Now interjected the professor. My purse with forty pounds was gone! Since then I've come to the conclusion that fine clothes and excellent gay man- ners do not necessarily bar the rogue, for it was just such a wolf in sheep's clothes that robbed me. After all the London of the present is not very far removed from the London of Dickens. Yes she added. It's a Dickens of a place anyway. Already the opening strains of the 'lDream of Heaven were resounding through the hall and recalled the professor from his reverie. Hastily excusing himself he darted to the far end of the hall and a moment later was gliding noiselessly over the floor. 188 A Canoe Club Song Popular some twenty years ago.

Hs Hgh Majesty In my short experience on the UI-Iill, I have learned that every man has at least a limited sphere over which he reigns SLIIJFCITIC. But I believe there is no one man who can more justly make the claim that he is monarch over all that he surveys than the being who holds the dignified time-honored position of College Monitor. In making this assertion, I feel like the man who knows whereof he speaks, since it is my high privilege to occupy an honored place near Ilis I-Iigh lVIajesty's throne. Now, his Royal Nobs, Athey the Long, is not a bad fellow but he does make an awful king. To make a portrait of him would be no easy task especi- ally if it were to be life size. Like the Nephilim of old he stands head and shoulders above the men of his time. The interpretation of his make-up reveals a man whose quick temper and marked individuality stamps him as a culfnfafed product of the moon-shine districts of the wilds of Kentucky. I-Iis very look demands respect, provided he be near enough. As a monarch he is a man who rules with an iron will. I-Ie insists on order and punctuality. No sooner does the last toll of the Canterbury Chimes cease, than in he strides to the throne room. It is no unusual sight to see him slam the massive doors in the face of some gesturing, out-of-wind subject who ar- rives just in time to be too late. lfVoe to that mortal who is not in his proper seat, when I-I. R. I-I. enters! It is well that the loud tones of the pipe organ greet his entrance lest the noise of the frightened, teeth-chattering subjects be audible. Upon mounting his throne, he casts one hurried, terrible glance over all his subjects, wraps his long robe of state about him, pulls out the royal scroll and immediately sets to work. I must confess that he does show considerable par- tiality in his dealings. I-le seems to ignore almost entirely the elders who are seated at a distance from the throne: and we. his subordinates. must endure his grinning graces. So zealous is he in dealing out justice according to his idea of that term, that he rarely take time to heed the voice of the chaplain. I-Iis motto is Fine heavily all, i. e., those who occupy seats near the throne, who show signs of sleep. look to the right or left or show any signs of unrest. In short, the least provocation brings down his wrath and the worst of it is that he turns a- deaf ear to all appeals for clemency. I can not refrain from citing 190 here a recent case, where, strange to say, he fined to the limit one who by reason of long and faithful services should stand high in his favorg for just one breach of duty, and I stand on my oath it was the first of its kind, he adopted the most drastic measures. I-Ie hauled the culprit as is his custom in such case before the fat goaler. As a result the disgraced subject suffered fierce and humiliating treatment from the hands of this strict disciplinarian. For fear of being tried for lese majeste, I will not go into details of this particular case, for perhaps after all the real blame for mean treatment must be laid on the shoulders of his petty officer. Do you ask whether Athey the Long is popular with his subjects? Well, I should say not. Yet you can judge for yourself. just recently a few of his most beloved subjects, driven to desperation sent him the following communi- cations: - ''You're-got-to-put-a-stop-to-your-two-faced-pencil-in-chapel3 you- give-the-fellows-a-good-square-deal-or-there-will-be-trouble. This-is-a-warning- and-its-up-to-you-to-take-it. Beware-of-the-Ides-of-March. I myself have been connected with several plots that have been aimed at lowering his over-bearing dignity. I-Ie has the vigilant guards to thank for escaping the bombs of snow that were hurled at him on a certain morningg and again. for detecting the scheme that was intended to cool his long, lanky body in the refreshing waters of the beautiful Kokosing. Yet this must be said in his favor, that he did not allow either the warning or the attempted plots to unnerve him. I-Ie stills reigns supreme. In my humble opinion, therefore, he of all men is worthy of the pot. Vive le Roi. Great is Athey the Long.

A Vision of The Reformation A VVe were seated late one night, a Bexley man, a graduate and two or three college men in a dimly lighted room in the sombre Bexley. VVe had been com- menting upon the actions of a certain gentleman of the black sash. The topic of conversation turned and we were now discussing the supernatural and argu- ing with some heat over illusions, hypnotism and other occult subjects. Several tales of weird imagination had already been told and the aged graduate was just reciting a story with ghostly attributes. I found myself on the path, alone. I-Iow I had become separated from my companions I did not know. As I walked briskly along toward college, every story of fantasy and witchery and hobgoblinry I had ever heard came unbidden into my already befuddled brain. I remembered a tale, a favorite one of my grandfatherls, of the ringing of bells and the banging of doors in the old homestead along toward the hour of midnight upon the anniversary of the ravaging of those parts during an Indian uprising. Grim old Gray VVolf with his scarred and horrible visage and his scalp laden belt seemed to tramp on my heels. The shrill war-whoop and all the terrible cries resounded in my ears. As I passed the Bakery, I glanced about. Immediately my eye caught the vari- colored door of Doc W'elker's house. Then came to me horrid recollections of the deeds of a renegade doctor whose methods of vivisection were averred facts. As I neared the college gate, I looked down over the valley. Here and there the gloom was pierced by a twinkling light that only accentuated the pall of midnight. Against the dark sky the tower of the Methodist church loomed in inky blackness. As I turned my gaze toward college, I was aware of a few lights in Old Kenyon, glimmering like torches in the distance. I was almost to the gates and walked on, head bowed in meditation, whistling like the farmer's lad as he passes the lonely grave yard. Up toward the gate I walked and in- stinctively turned to the left to avoid the post. I banged into some thing and glanced up. IrIorrors upon horrors, that post was a terrible, moving thing. I saw some resemblance to a human countenance, a body of irregular shape and limbs ending in nothingness. I gasped. I pinched myself. I attempted to move on. Une of the fantastic arms swung about and buffeted me against the stone pillar with force enough to send my pipe into the air. Iust then the chimes rang out. I never heard them sound so. My untutored ear detected something of a dirge in their peal. Again I started, quaking in every limb. Stop! Kenyonite! I-Ialt and listen! came in the sepulchral tones of the ghost-like. 'IMost trivial beingf, it continued, I have revelations to make. Most uncertain thing, I pleaded, UI beseech you, stop some one else and let me go on to needed sleep. 194 Nay, mortal, speech and action are but given me once each half century and I have but until the chimes ring the birth of another day to linger thus, the transformed post replied. I Thinking to gain time, I began to question, trying to ascertain how and why the post gained speech and action, but in upon my inquisitive research came the cold and frigid words, Be silent! I have a prophecy of future time to deliverf, Assuming a more terrible aspect the grewsome spectre spoke thus: UNO -doubt, you in common with all the men of Kenyon have been bothered by the actions of this Reformer of Gambier, by this Martin Luther of Kenyon, by this later Huss, who with a smile would plunge his hand into the liame, by this wonderful climber of two by fours. Know though, oh Kenyonite, that his 'efforts may bear fruit. If he achieve his ends, what will be the condition of affairs. Come with me into the future. Come to the year IQIO. Qh! shades of Mann, of Bagley and of Billingsley, what a change in the atmosphere of Ken- yon life. 'Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, introduce yourselves' the self-confident Freshman cries. Up the hill toils the upper-classmen burdened with the Fresh- man's luggage. The irst night of the collegiate year sees the upper-ciassmen lined up before Old Kenyon while the Freshmen compel them to tell their name. And that Bee in the evening. The antics of Seniors just delight the new-comers. The Assembly meetings are presided over by those fresh upon the ground-. They are college men, they are Kenyon men, they are Freshmen and supreme. 'VVoe be unto him who dares to cross their path. Whatf' T broke in, 'iFreshmen question Upper-classmen! Freshmen run Assembly meetings ! Yes, and more. Listenfi groaned the evil-omened thing, The S. C. I. is now but history. It is but a tale for the Freshmen to talk about and to deride the past. Ah! tradition is no longer supreme. The new world reigns. Gonks, those terrible implements of the degenerates of the dark and dreary past, are -curiosities. Now the Freshman is sacred. His rights are inviolate. He is -everything. Ah, if you be a true son of Kenyon you must protest against the innovations' of this fore-runner of that millennium which is created only in his distorted fancy. He must be forestalled. VVhat would Kenyon be without her hallowed traditions, without her sacred customs? Do you stand back? Are you going to allow the experiences of those who have gone before to become as nought ? Stupefied by this portrayal of future Kenyon life, I could not speak. The .spectre took my silence as consent to the theories of the new world. The chimes, with a fantastic swing, began to ring the midnight hour. The spectre became still 'more terrible and in a thundering voice, it cried, lNhat! you too stand for these altered traditions?

T awoke. The graduate sat nodding his head over remembrances of the past. My chum was belaboring me with a Hebrew dictionary and the clock on the shelf was striking the hour. 195 An Alumni Appreciation MY DEAR OLD SANDY: Tye just returned from a visit to dear old Kenyon, and refreshed my mind with the memories of bygone days. I've just been wondering how much change has come over the manners and customs of the Kenyon man since our day. Take for instance, in dress. The neat gentlemanliness so characteristic in our day is decidedly lacking. You remember how scrupulously 'partial we were to our dig- nified high hats and long coats and the established styles of the time. The student of to-day seems to consider himself liable to the worst kind of social ostracism should he dare to array himself in the conventional garb of the day. Now they seem to be fond of everything that smacks of carelessness. l do not know why the dignified derby should be despised, but it is. A fellow never thinks of wearing it except on Sunday or some festive occasion. Most of the time he wears a cap. The one most in favor is a little piece of cloth about the size of your hand that just fits the crown of your head. Or an old slouch hat, the worse for wear the better, T found very popular. A Hbiledu shirt and collar is clearly out of place, though some seem to wear a sort of neg- ligee that passes as a substitute. To be a real college manfl being interpreted a heller,'J nowadays, Sandy, you must wear a sweater or an old army shirt or something equally as becoming. They are decidedly partial to the once despised corduroy trousers, but the boys wear them turned up at the bottom now and ornamented with leather trimmings. They have enough material in them to provide two or three pair of trousers for the man of our day. Most of the fellows had high shoes, well protected with ponderous looking Haps, buckles and strings and greased and muddied to an indescribable hue. Into these cumber- some pedalians they thrust their trousers and strut along with hands in pockets, displaying to advantage the wealth of material used in the making. But of all things, Sandy, nothing struck me so droll as the current expres- sions among the fellows. In our day the Hlocutions consacrees' always seemed to keep the Addisonian flavor and we looked down upon anything tending towards the fonetic or erratic style, so popular with the present generation of students. Let me try to recall one of the conversations l overheard. Two of these bright young fellows met on the Middle Path and began : l'How're there, kaddo P' 7 196 Fair'd 'tis all 1 I-Iow'd you cut her in the big English exam.? 'Cot the awful four, kid. Wfhat 'd you do P 'Chl I went you one better. I thought I knocked the eye out of Pete, but he only handed me out a threef' I thought I had bushed him, too, but he sneaked one in on me, so I got the big four. i Too bad, kiddo. 'I'hat's only one't. Dont let him bush you twic't. XfVho's the new berry on the hill ? I'm strangered there. Looks like a fair'd one, though. XfVell. see you later! I'm off in a bunch on a lussin' bee. She's waiting for me, so I've got to hike. Ta! Ta! Be goodlu You sayder, kacldo. Ta Tal I shall not attempt a literal translation of this wearisome extravaganee of speech nor can I give you an idea of its inllection. It is expressed in such a fawning, tumbling sort of way that it makes me shudder to think of it. It's all right, though, Sandy. Theres much to be said in its favor. It is right in line with the modern tendency to drop out superhuities in words and make them snappy as the boys say, and then, too, it has a certain amount of flexibility. For, like Esperanto, there isn't much to learn about it and the same expression coversga multitude of eases. In all, one's vocabulary need not exceed a hundred words, and as to grammar, the more you digress and sprinkle in an abundance of kattos, kids and kid Cpronounce it in a slow, affectionate drawlj the better you can learn this kit-kat talk. I must confess that it is a contagious vocabulary and for the first few days atter my return to the office, I nearly clemorahzed the business routine by my kaddo expressions. It must be a powerful language. Sandy, but I'm glad we didnt have it while we were in college. Spiel off a few and make 'em snappy and that right soon to your 'old ehum.
