EDITORIAL STAFF RECENSIO PARRETT EASTMAN BE ARD RANKIN LAYMAN HOUGHTO SALUTATORY ITH THIS YEAR, eighteen hundred and ninety-three, the students of Miami U niversity resume the publication of THE RECENSIO, formerlyknown as 7726 Miami Recensz'o. Though no college annual has been issued at Miami since eighteen hundred and seventy-two, yet we feel assured that the present volume will be doubly welcomed by such of the Alumni and friends of the institution as were interested in the annual of the seventies. In reviving THE RECENSIO the board of editors has felt that a heavy responsibility is resting upon them. . When they commenced they were all in- experienced in the work, and there were no former editors to whom they could go for advice. Italso seemed likely that it would be very diHicult to meet the hnancial problem. However, they resolved for the glory of Old Miami to put forth their utmost efforts in order to achieve success. As a result of their efforts and the efforts of many willing helpers, the present volume goes forth on its mission of love for their alma mater, for the students within Miamiis walls and for the Alumni and friends to whom Miami is a name that ever con- tinues dear in memory. May those Who follow the present editors, and for whom it shall be the lot to issue THE RECENSIO in after years, ever earnestly and faithfully strive to do better than their predecessors, and to make each succeeding volume more worthy of uOld Miamifi Yet even though the editors hope and expect that future volumes will be better than the present, they do not believe that any 9 b board of editors will ever have the glory of the institution more at heart than theyhave had. ' I V We beg to acknowledge our indebtedness to those who have so kindly aided us hnancially and otherwise in this work, which we, with some hesitancy took up, but which we are now glad to present to you, and hope that it will be kindly considered and that our efforts may only be an incentive for future ' boards of editors to enlarge the present work until it will in the future become a necessary part of ttOld Miami? Owing to the kindly feeling existing between Miami and her two sister. institutions--The Westefn Female Seminary and Oxford Coll'ege-we are pleased to present an engraving and a short historical account of each and trust that the reader may not confound them with our own seat of learningF Miamie-but they are distinct unities in themselves yet combine in the one great cause of education and form no small factor in lending to the rehning and elevating inhuence of our elassic Village. . t . Our mission is fulfilled, and how well, 'We refer you to the following pages to judge for yourselves. Trusting that they may be most interesting and entertaining, and assuring you thatthey portray college life as it really is at Miami, we most humbly submit ourselves , THE BOARD OF EDITORS. l0 CALENDAR 1893.

BEAUTIFUL VALLEY 0f the Ohio was but beginning to 1111 with the influx of sturdy settlers from across the Alle- ghenies in 1787, when a tract of 1and,ca11ed the 8 Miami Purchase, Waspbought by John Cleves Symmes. It was proVided' that a township of land be granted to the support of a college. In 1809 the charter was granted, and the ambitions name of Miam University was given to the new institution. The men who projected the en- terprise may not haVe caught the distinction between College and univer- sity, so emphasized iri our time, or perhaps they were naming with their . hopes, seeing what might come With the growth of the new country Be that as it may, they undoubtedly knew a good place to put a school. The Univer- sity, in its beautiful campus of f1fty odd acres,1ies on the tongue of a ridge Which, from the rolling country to the north and west, runs into the valley of the F our Mile. N0 doubtmany a student in the long yearspast, When hasten- ing his steps to makechapel in the early light of mOrning has a11i111adverted upon the fact that it is huphill t0 the University from nearly every side. The first class, twelve men, was gradnated in 1826, of Whom none are 110w living. Of the. elass 'of i27 was the Honorable John W. Caldwell, Who enjoys the distinction bf being the oldest living alumnus of Miami. He was minister to Bolivia under Grant. General Robert C. Schenck was a member of the same class. ' The first president was Rev. Robert H. Bishop, D. D., who, born in Lin- lithgowshire, Scotland, came to America in 1802. Much Of the success of Miami in the years after, must be ascribed to Doctor Bishop. A graduate of Edinburg, he brought to Oxford his strong Scotch manhood, his learning, and 15 his power. The name of our first president holds an honored place in the hearts of all who know our colleges history. Prof. R. H. Bishopfjunior, LL. D., of the class of 31, passed the greater portion of his long and useful life in the Latin chair of Miami. The Alumni of the school can testify to the affection that was Dr. Bishopis from every student who recited to him. He died in 1890. Among the long list of professors the name of Doctor McGuffey is per- haps the best known. Every smali person in this broad land, who has learned to read within the last hfty years, may be presumed to know who Doctor Mc- Guffey was. To the students of the growth of Education in the Middle West, ' however, Doctor McGuEey holds a place in the hrst rank of the able men without whose enthusiastic toil we could have had none of the development of which we are so proud. He was a professor at Miami between i26 and ,36, and the house in which he composed the famous series of readers which bear his name still stands to the south Of the campus. ' The new college grew and prospered. The rugged boys of the country side, fit descendants of the men of the Revolution, thronged to the college; eager for instruction. Poor as the facilities of education then were as compared with our own, they supplied the want with their enthusiasm. Among the men whohave gone from the class rooms of Miami to make their power felt in the stirring period of the mid-century and the great development since, can be named Robezt C. Schenck, Charles Anderson, William S. Groesbeck, Chauncey M. Olds, Samuel Shellabarger, Benjamin W. Chidlaw, David Swing, Benjamin Har- rison, Whitelaw Reid, Calvin S. Brice and many another who is worthy to rank with them. We are proud of them; proud of the fact that they have gone from our alma mater, and proud with a just pride. May the men of our . ' day approve themselves as well in their turn. Miami is the mother of fraternities. Three of the four now existing here were founded in this college : Beta Theta Pi, 1839; Phi Delta Theta, I848 ; and Sigma Chi, I8 5 5. These fraternities now are national, and to those of uswho belong to the Alphas of our respective brotherhoods, there is a quick sense of our positions and a pride in our relationship to the tifrat. The remaining chapter, Kappa of Delta Kappa Epsilon, established here 1852, is a worthy rep- resentative of the great fraternity to which it holds allegiance. We feel no hesitation in saying that not the least valuable portion of his college life to a fraternity man is his fraternity relationship. The ties then formed; the inti- mate knowledge of the hearts of men, not to be obtained in the world; the eX- change of close conhdence; the generous spirit of fraternity which is- fostered; all these are much. To the men Who hrst conceived the idea, as well as to those who planted our chapters, we look with fond gratitude and loyal tt broth- erly-feeling? . To the university the war was a blow, for it had long drawn much of its. I6 u $$xe Rx RTE I I x l W ; l k ?JQI 6 Jul ,, W1 , A7? 12 mm 32? 1, ' WM K Eiimumml v BRICE HALL. support from the South. . So much was it felt that in 73 the Trustees decided to close its halls till a iit time to continue the work. The opportunity came in 1885, and now the old college is taking her former place in the ranks of the western schools. To the students of to-day the past of our alma mater is a constant inspiration, and the place that she holds we intend never to be lost. Her proud record will be increased as the classes go out, for Ohio has not lost the race from which. the men Who have made her name illustrious sprang, and we believe that many a future Sherman and Grant and Garfield and Har- rison is now learning his letters or wishing that the dead languages did not re- quire dissection at his hands, having his Whole soul centered on the base ball championship. Among the ttsmall colleges, for Which there is so important and honor- able a place in the development of our land, Miami, right in the midst of the best timber for men the world ever saw, will go on in the grand work that has been hers for so many years, having the best affection of Alumni and under-- graduates. - ' I7 SENIOR CLASS Exz'ms acta probed.

Whatldo the readers expect .of him? that is the Question i, Which confronts: N inety-threeis historian. T NO TIME is the class historianis task an easy one, and it is made doubly difficult on the present occasion since your humble servant is about to attempt 'tO portray the life history of that noble creation of nature-the Senior i Class. Perhaps there is no better. way in which to set - forth the varied experiences and ultimate attainments of Ninety-three than by, beginning in ipre-historic times- the days of Prepdom. Ninety-threeis history began in the Senior Prep. year, I and one half of those yet itfaithfuli? enjoyed the hard work expected of the senior Pfep.- e . a Additionsto the class in the F reshman year increased theiroll of. mem- '9 bers from five to fifteen. Though to the Class of N inety-two must be granted the honor of having instituted the custom of painting the Class colors and year upon the llbullseyell of the mVarsityll tower, yet all who appreciate artistic . art will concede that Ninety-three in her Freshman year surpassed all other classes in the 'art of painting. The class entered upon the duties and responsibilities of the Sophomore year with many forebodings of evil, and we soon found that they were not un- founded. Many were the lamentations heard over the intricacies of Physics and the excmtrz'cz'ty of Analytic Geometry. Many a class meeting was held to discuss the feasibility of burning the latter at the stake. Perhaps the only rea- son why Analytics escaped that awful fate lay in the fact that the treasury could not meet the strain necessary upon so solemn and important an occasion. Always to be remembered in the uannals of history, will be the memor- able night when the' ll F reshies ,, thought to. paint the tower. Suhice it to say that they had a traitor in camp; At an early hour every ll Soph l, was within the Uniyersity walls, guards were stationed, fortifications raised and instruc- tions issued. Soon a guard announced that a scout of the ll Freshies,, had been seen at the glass door, then they were heard in the cellar and then-alas for our well laid plansethe east door was burst open and before we could march to its defenSe they were upon us. Long and fearful was the conilict, but when at length a t1uce was called, 10, the uFreshies ll did discover that in some mysterious manner some ltSophll had spirited away their paint and brushes. Long will Ninety-three preserve them as trophies of war. It was the dearest dream of log in the Sophomore year to revive T HE RECENSIO, but difhcnlties beset her on all sides and prevented the accomplish- ment of her cherished hopes. Her numbers were small and the pocketbooks of her members were, alas,sti11 smaller, and little Iinancial support could be secured from her friends GO and. the A1umniof the University. The official chronicle does not show how many members of i93 attended the banquet given in honor of the class of l91 on the banks, of the beautiful and classic Talawanda, but rumor has it that a goodly representatiOn was pres- ent and partook I of the refreshments. The F irst Annual Banquet was also given during this year, subject, llThe Eleventh Member of the F aculty? Considered from all sides Ninety-threels Sophomore year seems to have been the most momentous of her college course. Ninety-threels Junior year was extremely uneventful and her historian finds no chronicles worth publishing to the world. We certainly feel highly honored by the banquet given us by the under classmen. The Decline and F all of the Roman Empire was a brilliant success and even though we found it necessary to help meet the expenses of a banquet 20 1WD. SENIOR GLASi g a ' a :3 r. u dualism given in our honor, which I understand. has not yet been paid for, we thorough- 1y appreciated the elegant t ?l menu of one-oyster-to-the-dish soup. I As, we neared the final term of our college course we determined to ask one favor of the F aculty. Feeling assured that our regular attendance up- on all Chapel exercises and other college duties entitled us to, some reward, we petitioned the F aculty to grant us optional attendance at Chapel exercises for the few weeks we would still spend at Miami. But what was our astonishment to learn that our petition had been disregarded and our request refused. Twenty members have from time to time been enrolled upon the Class roll of ,93, eight of whom yet remain. Of the other twelve-three are dead, one'is attending medical college, one is attending anarchiteetutal school, one is winning distinction as an organist, one is a stenographer, one has dropped back a class and the history of the'iother four is unrecorded. To prophesy of Ninety-three,s future is beyond the realm of her histo- rian, yet he has no hesitancy in saying that it will be brilliant. Three of her members are candidates for the professors chair, one for the ministry, one for law, one for medicine, one for. electrical engineering and one for the presidency. Taken all in all our years spent at Miami have been very pleasant, and it is with a feeling of regret that we reflect that we are soon to say good-bye to llOld Miami. It shall ever be our ambition to so conduct ourselves in the bat- tle of life as to reflect honor and glory upon our beloved alma mater. 2l SENIOR BIOGRAPHIES. BEIRT SURENE BARTLOW: A.

REAT COMPLACENCY unmixed with conceit animates us as we announce to. the reading public at large and t0 . Miamfs progeny in particular that we, the celebrated Class of i94, have attained the honored position of Juniors which we 'still continue to hold with und'iauntedi front, despite the many dangers that have beset our rough and toiISOine journey to our high pinnacle of . fame; whence we may gaze down over our pristine and erstwhile long expected mustachios 0n the' vulgar mob beneath'us.' Oh no! conceit is not an ingredient of- our individuality, for if there is one fault we do not possess it is egotism, although no class ever had a better right to boast of itself. ' ' ' i Now there isRankin, our illustrious president; No star that shines in thespacious firmament gleamsvwith SO, much brilliancy and eclat as the re- 23 nowned editorials of his illustrious sheet. As to his person, short rather than tall, stout rather than thin, we sometimes iind him Wearing a beard, more frequenty appearing in a mustache the envy of all beholders, among whom may be casually mentioned the fair sex. W'e shall next take as our theme the illustrious llSammyil-the long-haired one-our honored Cl Vice president whose achievements are too numerous and notorious to mention. What labors he has not consummated would fill up the greater part, if not all of our available space. We understand that he now has a budding beard under cultivation. Long may it continue to be an honor to the class. The Honorable Mr. Herman next appears on the tapis. He very ably fills the oiiice of scribbler to the Class of ' 94. Our honorable secretary is truly a wonderful piece of mechanism. It has been said he has been taken for a rofessional advertising agent, so successful has he been in persuading Ham- ilton merchants of the necessity of giving their ads. to T HE RECENSIO. His vocalistic powers are excellent and his earnestness is terrific. It came to pass in the ninth month that Asher, brother to Gad-Benjamin- Issachar, et icelera, aa' z'njim'tumjand so on, conceived a plan in his mind whereby he might become mighty among the sons of Miami and as he thought, he was g'ad in his heart and waxed joyful. And he went forth and said to Charles of the tribe of Greer: ll Hearken now unto my voice. We will form a ring; we will iponey our brothers in the Class of ,94; we Will stuff the ballot box; we will obtain high offices and verily, our name shall be great in the land? But 10! On that day when the class assembled together the ring broke so that it did not work, whereat he waxed exceeding w'roth and said: ll Suffering old man ! Verily, this class is not worth a hill of beans? And he mourned and wore saCk-cloth and ashes seven days and seven nights, and as Charles of the tribe of Greer loved him much, he went out and mourned with him. And now ladies and gentlemen, with your kind attention we will present for your contemplation the blissful smile which emanates from the classic features of llRory, the illustrious historian of the Class of i94. His face twhen that expansive smile is absent so one can see it fairlyl beams with intelli- gence and good will for mankind in general and womankind in particular. His attainments in all the modern branches of doing nothing are too well known to be more than casually mentioned. To see him on one of his peram- bulations, with his get-there expression and a Junior cane, one is almost tempted to thinkihim a Retreat crank. on a vacation. But when we stop to think of the noble thoughts and massive wheels that are cavorting around in his magnificent head our souls are filled with amazement, not to say awe. i Boger has been left to the last among the oflicers of this truly wonderful class, as it is always conceded that the best is left for the end. Boger istruly 24 a wonderful chemical combination of those'elements that go to make up a base ball fiend and spring poet of the hrst water. He'hails from a small village generally considered a suburb of the classic city of Oxford. His literary ability has been acknowledged by all the great literary men of the age. The highest hopes Of this class centre in our poet in the expectation that he Will bring it world Wide fame, for it can not be denied that if nothing happens he may be- come illustrious and world renowned. Do not let the reader be deceived by the supposition that only the truly great men of this class have been chosen as its ofhcers, and that therefore their characters only have been delineated. For it is an assured fact that all the men of the class have as great minds as the oiiicers, and these oflicers have only served as models to show the reading public the standing and futurepros- pects of the most wonderful class that has ever reached the dignity of Juniors. . 0090 0009000 ' 25 SOPHOMORE CLASS E V z'su Sumus. -CLASSCOLORS, - - - - - BLACKANDORANGE.

AEFORE WE enter upon a detailed account of our glittering ' deeds,possib1y 'it would be of advantage to the savage reader tdear reader is out of datei to know our present . position in the University in order that the delicate, intri- I cate interWeaVing Of the circumstances Which have led up to the present intellectual and physical SOV ereignty Which the brilliant Class of 95 now enjoys, may be critically examined and the 1m- mensity 0f the task under Which the class has been strugghng may be realized and that due appreciation may be accorded the ideal condition Which has been 27 produced from chaos by the titanic efforts of Miamiis most powerful intellects. The height to which we have risen by our pure mentality is indeed re- markable, only having been equalled by the Class of ,74, and at present the only class that bids fair to come in sight of our excellence is the infant Class of 1900.. The pure worth of a ttSophllnow in comparison to other men in college is about as one to ten. So far is this conceded, and in such high es- teem is the class held by the professors that, during past ttexams, some of our most skilled equestrians have been honored by the reception of courteous invitations for a second meeting. No hattery, either. The society of the ttSophl, is a pearl of great price. tThe proximity of the swine is appallingJ Pardon me, I had forgotten that a sarcasm on the ,96 -4-3ls is impossible. They are collectively only an expression of Natures rare irony. What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole college and lose the patronage of a ll Soph ?,i Defeat follows like a Nemesis, sure and deadly. We admit that we have mounted high, driven on by ambitionis goad; but we are. also conscious af the consoling fact that if we fall we can only depress the other classes and in the end, rise Victorious and grandly, amid the terrific con- fusion of our insignilicant antagonists. We entered college in 391, attracted by Dr. Thompsonis magnetic in- liuence and exposition of the avenues which lead up to the rvcwa aeaordw of Socrates. We seemed to possess a basilisk inhuence from the very lirst; all eyes were turned upon us with marked admiration and respect; something great was expected and they were in no wise disappointed. During the two . years of our existence everything has been coming our way. Professors, stu- dents and college girls have lent their ears, time and assistance, which we kindly condescend to accept on the score of good intentions. In addition to our numerous social and political Victories we have not been neglectful of the polemic art and have rendered our names immortal by the cunning with which we have defeated every attempt to undermine our supremacy. For illustration, 'the severe lesson we taught the aspiring babes of - ,96 this year concerning the right of possession of the airy top of the ,Varsity tower. We maintained our colors on the bullls eye for more than a year, meeting and defeating all who were sufliciently foolhardy to attempt to blot them out. We boldly haunted our hag from the highest point of the main building for over two hours, and When they hauled it down, it was as the treacherous stab of the assassin, and not boldly and by right of acknowledged power. While the frightened and trembling cowards were striking our colors we, were caged like lions in the chamber of torture presided over by the Professor of English -Literature, with Bain as his bed of gleaming coals. But when at last, the bell tolled forth its glad tidings and the old lVarsity shook to its very foundation under our mighty tread, we discovered to our sorrow that we were as Blucher at 28 Waterloo, or the many hands that might have intervened to save the life of the martyred president. Too late. The obscure wielders of the paint brush had gone after getting in their deadly work, though the tall grass, through which their trembling limbs had passed, still waved. The tower presented two blear eyes to view, upon which nothing could be distinctly seen. Nevertheless, this horrible daub was a masterpiece for the F reshies. They claimed they had only been making hay while it could be safely done. We are forced to ac- knowledge that they are admirably suited to such work, and on the whole, consider the statement quite a compliment to our prowess as strategic warriors. No colors adorn the tower at present, but it looks with blood-shot eyes upon all classes alike. In 91 the class adopted as its peculiarity handsome red ties. So stealth- ily do We work, and so well do we veil our plans in mystery and secrecy, that no inkling of our intentions leaked out until one morning at chapel the Sophs filed in, each wearing a band of flaming red around his neck. All day the other classes cowered before the electric flash of the scarlet band, backed, as it was, by a sly, samson-like Sophomore. In the afternoon of that famous day a band of thirteen from the other classes. gathered suliicient courage to attack little Archie, but so sturdily did he defend his hashing scarf, that, although in the battle it was torn to shreds, the thirteen tyrants could claim no Victory. So much for our valor. Now for our intellectual attainments, which have soared far above the crippled efforts of our discomfited rivals. In the numerous departments in which other classes of some mental strength have nearly been conditioned 2'72 toto, we have successfully glided past all rocks, shoals and obstacles of whatever form. We have passed the goal with flying colors. All the professors are dead in love with us. In fact, so far above. others are we that it is thought our names will be printed in the next catalogue in red ink, and niay-be a wood-cut will be required. We have taken all the prizes, medals and rewards of merit which the royal Faculty has offered. We give the best men to every organization in college, from boarding clubs down. Our orators have thundered forth their silvery notes from the chapel rostrum to highly intelligent audiences, whose just criticism was that our representatives were approximate Ciceros or Patrick Heinrys. Our Sinewy athletes have won many a laurel crown from Miamils Olympius and their brilliant performances have ever been sources of the greatest wonderment to the gaping, admiring on-lookers. But we are only coming to maturity in renown, though our course has thus far been that of a meteor, brilliant and naming. Indeed so exact is our perfection that surrounding objects thould be ilattery to recognize the other so-called colleges as anything but objectsy are forced to partake, slightly, it is true, of our intense illumination. This last suggestion of proximity and induc- 29 tion explains how, accidentally, it might be possible for the other classes to do something commendable. ' Such has been the eventful history of the most remarkable classever inclosed within the classic walls of Old Miami. We have Climbed high, en- countered many an adverse gale, risked many falls, but as a resultxwe are first with ,the professors, hrst among the students and first in the hearts of' the college girls.

F RESHMEN of this. particular class are undoubtedly the brainiest, most studious crowd that ever delighted the hearts of a faculty. Still, it must be admittedthat 1-most Of their brilliant deeds remain in the dim future, tho? the Faculty is hopeful. This is the condition of - - affairs With every Freshman Class that ever. existed. There is a remarkableunanimity about them in this respect. This historian would like to suggest that in the future the class prophet, instead of the class . historian, be appealed to. ' He could do niuch better work, in the nature of things. i t I ,It seems to be the chief function of the Freshman historian in the various annuals to run down the Sophs. We will not do it. It is our aim to 31 be original and unusual; and anyhow the Sophs are numerous and among them are some mighty men, renowned for their part in many a well-fought game on the gridiron held, Still, we can not omit to mention the tower epi- sode. For an extensive and elaborate account, please see the Soph history. Two of that class, its strongest literary talent, sat up nights and omitted pre- paring their Latin for quite a time getting that affair into such shape that it would reflect glory on their prowess. All that we need say is that when the President took a hand in the game, the Sophomore iiag, in the form of small strips, was being distributed among the Freshmen as souvenirs, and t1 ,96 ,, adorned the tower windows, while the Freshies were holding the fort in the stairs, prepared to meet any number of brilliant Sophomores. Affidavits 'will be produced for the above account upon application. The Faculty are much interested in us. Individually, they devote a good many hours a week telling us things and particularly, listening to our accounts of various matters that we have read about before meeting them. We are a Class that have a desire to be polite, and so we devote considerable. time, when we might be doing something else, to getting information about the subjects the professors are interested in, so thatwe may manifest an intelli- gent interest during our meeting with the teachers. It is strange in what peculiar things the professors are interested. We devoted, for example, what time could be spared from discussing the foot ball situation along last fall, to investigating, with the Professor of Mathematics, various subjects in higher algebra that didnit appear to have any earthly connection with anything else whatever. It was an unfortunate time of the year to introduce such a subject. Determinates and the theory of equations ought to be saved for the winter, when wehave more time. We desire to express our appreciation of the pains which the Latin Professor has taken with our style. After nearly a year of faithful toil, we can write Latin that it would take a Ph. D. to distinguish from Cicero. The way has not been easy for us, nor particularly pleasant for the Professor, but the end crowns the work. We are thinking of oifering our services to persOns who have to write Latin orations for commencements and that sort of thing. In athletics, considering our numbers, we are well to the front. The captain of the Varsity N ine responds to the first name on the F reshman roll at chapel, and three men down the line is a iVarsity half back, if he happens to get there. Besides these celebrities, there are several men on the ball nine, and others of mark in the tennis world. . We desire to call attention to a scheme that bears testimony to our genius. It was observed that sometimes invitations were issued from the Sem- inary which included only the officers of the various classes and societies. At one of our meetings, therefore, some embryo statesman suggested that we pro- 32 Vide ourselves With ofhces, thus getting our lightning rods up for any invita- tions that might strike When the responsibilities of power have also brought some compensation. The suggestion was adopted, and if any Freshman lacks official place, it is because he did not attend that meeting. This scheme Will be copyrighted and infringements prosecuted. And now, trusting in the ttcalm power of conscious strength? we submit to the world this modest account of our condition. In .the list of illustrious Classes that have gone from Miami, ,96 is destined to an honored place, and we Who belong to it know What good fortune is ours in our place in its ranks. 33 PREPDOM BERTRAM LEE HITCH, - - - - - - - - President.

Voices were heard as if afar off, and a great multi- tI F tude assembled. This was during the vernal equinox and at about the third hour of the day. The people stood aghast and were much amazed at the history of the past and the laws of the ' present and the forebodings of the future as uttered by these voices. And as the people went out from among them, there was much confusion, for 35 h Ix, t they wondered whom they were who spake these things. Then came a mes- senger in great haste and exclaimed with a loud voice: it They at whom you ' marvel are Senior Preps who will enter the F reshman Class at about the time of the next equinox. Moreover, they shall the following year enter the Sopho- more Classfi . . And during the reign of Prof. Greer, a decree went out from the Board Managers of THE RECENSIO that the happenings of the Senior Preps be chron- icled. As they gathered together the spirit rested upon them. The first that appeared was, Eicher the Tall; Whose weight was one hundred and 'hfty pounds last fall, He aspires not to Latinls'puzzles, But deeply into German guzzles. T hen there appeared Garrett, the heaviest of the number, Who is live and one-third feet, deducting all iforvfeet turned under. He strove at hrst the highest position in class to find, But finally utterly failed, then Changed his mind. Then appeared one named Good, The jolliest of his Class, Though storms may rage and tempests roar, In real contentment helll surpass. Then came Hitch an inhabitant of the famed HSouth Dorm, Though his hands be icy, in his breast beats a heart thatls warm, About him you will lind many a comical way, By Which we will remember him many a day. Then came Huston likened unto Socrates of old, At least he was by one of the Profs. so told; He aspires not to Algebrals Xls, Or Geometryls puzzles unknown, . But Latin will constantly read, Till the laws ofetheRomans he knows asihis own. Then came one from the far west named Mead, His hobbywyouill find, is riding a broneho steed, He. has been inthe. eastyand has been in the west, But heisaysvtlFor my part I like Iowa the best?

A feeling of pride and a knowledge of our own greatness, comes to us as we recall the fact that ours is; the first class in'tlLower Prepdomll which has ever been invited to write a history for the llRECENSIOP Heretofore, we, with the rest of the much abused individuals commonly dubbed threps,, were regarded as iitszillzz'ZW But truth is mighty and will prevail, and so at last the tttruthll has dawned upon the ttBig Boys? that we at least do really claim a little notice. e Being from the country our manners may have been a little awkward, and ungentlemanly tin the eyes of the F reshiesy, and our hair may have had a few hay seeds, etc., but why should we speak of those days of yore, those days of sadness.

NON-FRATERNITY O A CERTAIN degree the scale of valuation of college i. superiority is not inf;'equent1y that of the athletic score, the success of the musical club, or the brilliant effort of the orator. Among students themselves there may be also the claim of the several fraternities. Without the discussion of the relative merits of these different interests, in com- prising the sum of college life, it suliiees to say that one is often. overlooked. N ot eeause of the limit in numbers, nor of its success iii all departments of college work, but it is through the failure to recognize the aggregation of power as it pursues all directions of effort. . The claims of the nonfraternity men for the right of recognition as a collective body are shown in the Class room, as the man taking the second honors of the Class of log, is one of our worthy representatives. The results of diligent and honest work are also seen in the members of each of the other classes. Athletics receives liberal support from the non-fraternity men, from the piowess of foot ball to its financial aid. They are among its best and most enthusiastic players. The manager of the base ball interest is a non-frat. The ability of this factor of college life is seen in the college publications, from the character of the WOlk done. Also in its resource of men to occupy such a position, for amid the severe test the removal of two men, others have been found to take upon themselves such responsibilities. A quick response has also been found in all questions relating to college interests in general, as signiiied by the number of meetings during the past year. Among those prominent and active in Y. M. C. A. work are found those who are not familiar With the mysteries of the Greek letter societies. The most important oliiees of the organization have been held in the past'by those not wearers of the colors and pin. Also mention need only be made that the delegate to the International Convention, held at Northfield, Mass, is one of our number. . While the daily routine of work engages our strength and attention among those enjoying the privileges of a literary society training are again found the non-fraternity men. And well has been proven their ability and their work in the earnest support of the Erodelphian Society, that they eon:- posed the ofheers, With one exception, during the second term of the year, also in that there were two of our number participated in the Washingtonls Birth- day celebration. While our record may not be one of peculiar splendor, we thus give expression to honest pride. S3 OUR. gO-EDS - , ' 0ST beautiful Bowers bloom in small beds; Miami caneboast'a quartette 0f co-eds.

It is withf'ta sense of shame that the historian brushes the eobwebs off his thinking apparatus and sails in. Thatls our name:- . . . ti Walkerl-s Favorites? The W'alker' alluded to is, 'of ,f 1; 'MW'. . course, the famous sewing machine man. Who was that I heard utter the classic words, tt Come off? Who did you think I meant, anyway? Did you imagine for an instant that 1 should confine myself to local confines? Perish the thought! It' is useless to tell who we are, as we are all well known, some of us too well known for our own good. Who we are and who we were are different n1atters.When we look up past rec01ds we hnd that two things in 1egard to us are noticeably tiue: We are not what we were, and we were not what We are. The latter fact could have been better appreciated by past generations could they have looked 1 into ages to come and seen us now. How thankful they would be that they I were not to be They Would not have left it to Joseph Cook to settle the ques- tion as to whether the it World is Getting Better or Worse. At presentithere areseven of us. The brightest and most intelligent one among us, and the, one most likely to be heard of in the future, which opens so beautifully before us, is Mead. So with a Jack as- the central figure, we. will describe ourselves. , . i . On the left of the aforesaid we have Ducker, he of the golden locks. Ducker is bright, but Duckeris smile is brighter. Like many others he has a hobby. It is Snyderls Catsup. One day he surprised all of us by suddenly 61 ceasing to smile. We knew something was going to drop, and in fact, all pres- ent dropped when Ducker arose, and in heavenly accents, with characteristic determination, animated by a Cliftonian inspiration, said: tt As for me, give me an abundant supply of catsup or let me close mine eyes in a death far sweeter than a sacrihce of that spicy compounle At the right hand of the central figure we have an Athenian type in the person of Markle. While himself a Missourian; his tastes are decidedly those of a Kentuckian. In fact, he has gone down deeper into Kentucky this year than last. We also have a representative of the Spartan type in it BillianN Mce Donald, he of the dark eyes and raven locks. Those eyes give fair warning in their fathomless depths ll not to monkey with the band wagon, and woe to the pilgrim who disobeys that injunction. The fair Mead can testify to the truth of my statement. William is distinguished frOm the common herd by the fact that he is a living contradiction of the old proverb, it The course of true love never runs smooth? Directly opposite the central figure Asher Work holds forth in the full glory of manhood. Workls position is an unfortunate one in one respect. The central figure possesser a pair of pedal extremities which will attract the attention of historians for ages to come, and the fair Asher often comes in con- tact with them in the unknown depths ,neath the table. The words which made the name of Work an illustrious one are spoken daily in low, sweet, plaintive accents : ttMay I have some more desert, please ? l, Next we come to Pfau, the man of the cracker eating propensities, for which reason he bears the name of. ll Polly. He is a man of calm tempera- ment, but if one looks him square in the eye and says, ttPolly, tell us-wlzz'clz Nell? his angry passions do verily soar to somewhat dizzy heights. iWell, these are all there are of us except the historian, who does not wish to say mnch of himself, because a comparison would, of course, be a great disadvan- tage 'to the other gentlemen mentioned We do not wish to close, however, without saying a good word for Miss Sally Mollyneaux, who presides over our destinies, at least as far as the inner man is concerned. How often, oh how often has she only smiled when Mead upset the gravy, or when Ducker jammed the cork far down into the depths of the catsup bottle in a frantic endeaVOr to get at his loved compound. How often, indeed, has she refrained from scolding us when she should have scolded us, or failed to scold us half as much as we deserved to be scolded. Is it any wonder that we have a warm spot in our hearts for Miss Sally? Well, finally brethren, we are all right. With all our virtues, all our good qualities, all our sweet, cute ways; we cant blame people for loving us, nor can they blame it Walkerls Favorites l, for having many pleasant remem- brances of' their college life in after years.

The students! of Miami University, in conformity with a custom prevailing id many 0! the leading colleges of the coun- try, have decided to pgblish an annual for 1893, to be known as the Recemz'o. A board of managers, consisting of one n'aepresentative from each frgtetgity and two from the non-fratemity elemept, has lJeeu elected t9 prosecute the work. It is the purpose of this boatch to make the 5e- Eezzsz'o f0; 1893 the most complete apnual eyer issued from; Miiaiyi, agd t.he oge thing now needed to enable the board to carry out their plans, is loyal support from the alumni. -The Recmz'o wilt be published about June xst, and will contain, among other features, articles on the following topics: Class Historyl Fraternities, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Athletic Association, the Footbail Team, the Base. Ball Team, the Tennis Club, the Literary Societies, together with many other arti-- cles setting forth college life at M iami. ' Every alumnus, student and friend of the University will'wanl one or more. copies. GEO. R. EASTMAN, Secretary Board of Managers. UR attention was directed by the ne- marks of Col. McClung-which were made a few mornings ago at chapel-to the importance of careiully forming our habits while in college. The habits which are formed here are the forces which mould and shape our future existence: and all habits which are detrimental to the ac- quisition of knowledge should be discard- ed, and only those habits of systematic study, the desire of knowledge foriits own sake, and the love of trgth, should be ac- cepted. The conscientious student will vigorously exclude everything whigh integ- feres with the execution of those duties igcumhent upog him as a studegt; and, looking to his future well-beiug, will exert mat care in the formation of his habits. 67 ROBERT H. BISHOP, JR. ROBERT H. BISHOP, JR. OBERT HAMILTON BISHOP, JR., was barn August 15, 1815,11ear Lexington,Ky., and died July 5, 1890, at his late residence in Oxford, Ohio. Memorial services were held in the University chapel on Tuesday evening of Com- mencement week, 1891. His parentage was Scotch; his father, who was the iirst President of Miami University, was a graduate of Edinburgh University. , Young Robert graduated from Miami in 1831 and afterward spent one year in Hanover Theological netninary. In 1833 he was engaged in Kentucky as a Village school teacher, and during the three following years he was. college printer at Miami. He was connected with the grammar school from 1838-52. In 1853 he was chosen to iill the chair of Latin in Miami Univer- sity, which position he held until the closing of the University in 1873. He was Secretary of both the University and the Society of the Alumni for a period of almost iifty years. He was united in marriage with Miss E. A. Lyons, March 21, 1839. Of this union were born twelve children. 011 March 21, 1889, Dr. and Mrs. Bishop celebrated their golden wedding. Perhaps no better testimonial of the life and services of Dr. Bishop could be given than the following letter of Rev. George H. F uilerton, D. D. : 8 I was deeply impressed by him both as a teacher and a man. He at first seemed to me to be severe, and if he had worn a toga would have per- sonified my boyis'ideal of the old Roman. That towering form bent over by reason of weight of brain rather than of years: that keen eye, looking through you instead of at you, and magnified in its power of impression, as well as of vision, by the aid of glasses; that stride across the campus, becoming colossal if the recitation bell had rung a moment before the time. Who can forget such characteristics of the man? Our text books weIe full of pictures of him, and if I could iind some of mine tAlas! in what garret or cellar or dust pile do they repose b I think I could reproduce every feature of the professor down to his long and not exactly classical foot. One scene comes up before me as I write, as if it had occurred but yesterday. I was in the old recitation room and was struggling with some Latin about which I knew nothing, and con- cerning which I doubted if the author himself knew anything more-was catching at straws as drowning students will. always do, and hoping that the next lunge might enable me to touch bottom, 'when lifting my eyes 'I saw that the professor had turned his book over on his knee and was contemplating me 69 with onelof those anato:11ical looks which nobody who has been tlissected in like way can ever forget. I can feel that look to-day, after more than thirty years of experience in lifels dissecting room; and I can feel the relief which came to me also when the professor firmly but kindly said, tt Sit down sir? and I dropped out of my 111isery,an1idst the titters of my class mates. But I assure you that pleasant 111e11101ies p1cdominate as I write. As I learned the man, as well as his lessons, I became warmly attached to him; and it was rarely the case that a student who was not lazy or tricky left college without almost a iilial feeling for It Old. Bobby as we called him. After graduation I saw but little of Prof. Bishop, until a few years ago, when I had the , privilege of spending a day with him in his hospitable home. He was then in Beulah land to borrow Bunyans imagery. He knew that the river of death was not far away and was contemplating through the mists that lay over it, the towers and mansions of the celestial city. There was no i rapture in his experience. The convictions of a lifetime and sturdy adherence. to duty in the closet and home and college and church, had provided for him a holy calm which was like a benediction upon all who approached him. The hnest thing that Thackery ever wrote, is his discription Of the death of Col. Newcome. As death called him, the old soldier is a schoolboy'again, and his schoolmaster is calling the roll; but let tme quote Thackeryls own words; tAt the usual evening hour the chapel bell began to toll and Thomas New- comels hands outside the bed feebly beat a time. And just as the last bell struck a peculiar sweet smile shone over his face and he lifted up his head a little and quickly said tAdsuml and fell back. It was the word we used at school when names were called, and so he whose heart was as that of a little child, had answered to his name and stood in the presenCe of the Master? I have thought of Prof. Bishop as responding in like way in the lan- guage he loved so well' tAdsunl, Dominef when that final roll call of earth,s schoolhOuse reached his name; and that he stepped humbly but triumphantly into the presence of the G1 eat Teacher, no one can doubt who remembeis how - diligently while teaching others he himself learned Christ. ll Such was the man and the teacher. Within the class-room he was something of an autocrat and in his home circle where he gathered a large family about him he was not merely the affectionate husband and father but distinctly the head of the family, ruling with gentleness yet firmness. In all things he had the courage of his convictions. T hose who differed from him found him inliexible. T hose who agreed with him were likely to hnd him an indefatigable leader. Those who loved him found in him always a tireless friend and rejoiced 111 the singular purity and devotedness which went down to the grave under the ever darkening pall or physical infirmity but in the un- fading brightness of complete Christian dedication. 7O WESTERN FEMALE SEMINARY i1; $45,! A HE W ESTERN seemed not an inappropriate name to bestow upon a gig; sch001i11 Southerh Ohi0,110r ttSeminaiyi, a misnomer, in the day L525 when the. Western Female Seminary was dedicated. Conservative g friends, t0-day, urge that these good old-fashioned names be retained as. J evidence of antiquity. Radical, progressive. practical people speak e10- quently upon the uhtruthfulness 0f the iirst name, and 0f the inadequacy of the last word to express the grade of work done now in the school; So far, hon - ever, it has held the even tenor of its way, unchanged in name,unn10ved by zeal of friends or Sheers 0f foes, progr ssing, expanding. Changing only in ac- cordance with the Zeitgeist. Two large buildings meet the various demands belonging to present re quirement. There, standing on the brow 0f a hill, in the midst of a fine cam- pus 0f sixty-ht'e acres. looks grandly out over the quaint, quiet town- OfIOXfOrd. a mile or more distant. The main building, erected in 1855, presents a front of 264 feet, and has among its 160 rooms, students, rooms, recitation rooms and Chapel-also a sunny, pleasant reading-room furnished with more than seventy monthly, weekly and daily periodicals, magazines and newspapers, to which the Students have constant access. Alumnae Hall, the grateful gift of the former pupils of the Seminary, and' dedicated in 1892, stands 300 feet north of the main building. It is Roman- esque in architecture, and built of red brick, with coping, tower and Iinely carved d00r-way 0f buff Amherst stone. An octagonal, hre-proof library with a capacity for 39,000 volumes, constitutes the entire north end of the building: and has in it the large beautiful window designed and painted by Miss Tilling- hast, a New York artist and architect, at the direction of the Class of ,66. This 71 window has been placed on exhibition in the Liberal Arts Building at Chicago. Laboratories for Physical and Biological Science occupy the ground hoor; Lecture and Reeit ation rooms the second Hoor, While the Whole upper fioor of the south end 1s given to studies, which give ample opportunity for every variety of art work-oil and water colors,charcoa1, crayon and china painting, an ex- cellent kiln being provided for this w.ork The Faculty includes at present, graduates from the University of Mich- igan, the Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke and Oberlin colleges, the BostOn Conservatory of Music and Cincinnati Art School. In thus briefly mentioning some of the attractions furnished by the sur- roundings and equipment of this school for young women, one is tempted to speak in detail of the work done in the various departments. In E11g1ish,-for instance, training begins With simple essay structure and analysis, and the mind of the student is carried along by means of lectures, and directed reading to dis criminating love for the great literatures of the world. In Philosphy-ethical and religious principles with their relations to conduct, are taught. In History, the distinguishing inBuence of a period is taught, rather than battles and bul- 1etins,arn1ies and alliances; the prevailing thought Which a century received -thr ough the great events, the rulers, the writers of a preceding century, and handed down in totally different shape to the centuries following. The aim in Languages taught, is to furnish a thorough philologicalground-work for critical consideration of the authors read. The fine large laboratories for scientific eX- periments, and their appliances, suggest possibilities of most exact and practical work. One,s faith in a Fairy-Land of Sciences is eontirmed as one listens to the astonished and enthusiastic exclamations of a student. Who sits With her eye at the microscope describing the wonders revealed. I In the art rooms there are a number of models of all sizes for copy. ' The Venus d6 1W'Zo-a gift from Mrs. H. H. Harris, of Champaign, Illinois, one of the Trustees of the Seminary-was the hrst life-size work of at placed here; wDiana and the Stag? given by the Oxford branch of Alumnae Association, the second--both exact models of the originals in the Louvre. Other smaller casts, busts of prominent statesmen, and an exquisite piece of Italian statuarye-all gifts of friends or alumnae, make the beginning of a creditable collection. In the Music Department the grade of instruction is exceptionally tine, both in instrumental and vocal. Students are graduated each year from this course, signifying thorough and advanced work. As in Art, so is Music the aesthetic perception, and sympathetic qualities are cultivated side by side With careful attention to technic. Elocution Will be entered next year, as an e1ective,as Art and Music now are, this being one of the attractive and popular departments. In thus taking cursory View of a few of the courses of study, one appre- 72 RN FEMALE SEMINARY-wMAlN BUILDING E : WEST ciates the suggestion that has been made, that tta new elective be added to the Seminary course, Which shall concern itself entirely with the scope, the purpose, the raz'son d. etre Of every department? The large body of Alumnae, Who have grouped themselves into Branch Associations-north, south, east and west-for the sake of combined and continued interest in their alma mater, have expressed a desire to avail themselves of the advantages such an elective would offer, and it micrht appropriately be called a Seminary extension. t '73 OXFORD COLLEGE WEV'S . g 5? lg ., OUNDED IN APRIL, 1849, Oxford College opened its doors 6 to the reception of students, in September of that same year. The hrst president was Rev. Dr. John W.- Scott, who had been for many years a professor in Miami University. He was assisted by a corps of able and faithful instructors. Dr. Scott continued in- office for a period of ten years. During that time the college had a Checkered, but generally prosperous career. Upon the resignation of Dr. Scott in 1859, Rev. Robert D. Morris, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Newtown, Pennsylvania, was unanimously elected president. He entered upon his work in N ovember, I8 59. When he came to Oxford he found the college mugh embarrassed by heavy debt. . Undaunted, he set to work with his great energy, and his long experience. in financiering, and at length succeeded iii reducing the indebted- ness by more; than thirty thousand dollars. Dr. Morris continued in office as president for twenty-three years, or . until his death, which occurred in November, 1882. By the aid of his estimable and lovely Wife, who survives him, and still resides in the college, and assisted .by a corps of excellent teachers, he kept. the institution in the front rank, and won for it an honorable place among the colleges of the land. 'Dr. Morris was aiman of sterling character, Strong indi- viduality, and indomitable will. While a strict disciplinarian, he had a kind heart and was deeply attached to his students. His influence over young women in moulding their characters was most salutary. Almost his last words were, thod will carry on this'work. ,The old college will live though I diefl His dying prophesy has been grandly fullilled. T ruly the old college lives, and will live to the end of time. After the death of Dr. MOrris, the Rev. Faye Walker, D. D., pastor of 75 the Presbyterian church at College Hill, near Cincinnati, was chosen president. Dr. Walker entered upon his work in September, 1883. He brought to his position an indefatigable industry, and thorough consecration 'to the highest interests of the college. Every year since he entered upon the duties of his thce, the college has been crowded with students. Several times the buildings have been enlarged, but still enough students have crowded in t0 iill every room. Large classes have been graduated every June, but at the opening of the new collegiate year in the following September, the places made vacant have been filled by new students. There are three courses of instruction: the Classical, Scientiiic and Literary. It is the purpose of the college to employ specialists in each depart- ment, and thus obtain the highest grade 'of scholarship. Recently at the request of President Walker, Presizlent Angell 0f the University of Michigan, sent a committee to inspect the work of Oxford College. This committee made a favorable report to the Regents of the University of Michigan, and by a unanimous vote of the Board of Regents, Oxford College has been placed upon the diploma list of that institution for all courses. This is the highest possible compliment that could be paid to the scholarship of Oxford College. President Walker is assisted by a F aculty of twenty-three professors and instructors. ' There are about two hundred and twenty students enrolled each year. The Bible is a daily text-book. Every student in the college recites a lesson in the Bible each day. , This college is a home-not a convent Or prison. Everything possible is done to make the students life contented, cheerful and happy. The young ladies are treated as the daughters of a common family. The government is gentle, but firm. A watchful and parental care is exercised over the students at all times. All are under the immediate direction of President Walker and his Wife, from Whom they receive constant care in all respects. It is sought to combine thorough intellectual culture, With the most careful social and religious training amid the refinements of a Christian home; The table is always supplied With an abundance of the best food prepared in the best manner. Oxford College is essentially cosmopolitan in its character. Her students come from almost all the states between the Alleghany Mountains and the Paciiic Ocean, and between Lake Superior and the Gulf of Mexico. While the institution has achieved much deserved distinction along the 76 lines of scholarship, it has not neglected the graces of aesthetic culture. It embraces also a College of Music, College of Art, and a School of Oratory. Seven teachers are employed in the College of Music, and about one hundred students are pursuing their musical studies here. The diploma from Oxford College of Oratory admits to the Senior Class of the famous Boston School of Oratory. . There 15 no more salubnous climate than that of Southern Ohio, in Which the town of Oxford is located. Students in delicate health can go to Oxford With the almost certain assurance of being greatly benefited by a residence in the famous old Oxford College. 77 SONS QEMIAMI WRITTEN BY 1.. E. GRENNAN. ET EVERY true friend of Miami arise L And buckle his armor on ; And everyone aid in the grand enterprise Full soon the good work will be done. The young and brave-hearted, the noble and fair, To the halls of Miami will gladly repair, For giants in mind have been formerly there Whose laurels have bravely been won. Hail, honored Miami, the Queen of the West, Thy banner is hoating still ; Thy name is the symbol of all that is best, Thy record whole volumes would fill. In the dread hour of battle thy sons bated the breast From north or from south. from the east or the west Of manhood or skill giving sublimest test, Where bugles pealed loudly and shrill. The pen of historian shall yet truly tell The deeds of Miami in wars ; Where Anderson fought or where Millikin fell, Or Robert C. Schenckewont his stars. Nor can we forget McClung, MOrey and Brown, Harris, Owens-and McFarland the pride of the town- 0, these were the men who would never lie down Till the South had surrendered her bars. Ben Harrison proudly we sent to the East, T0 seat him in Washingtonis chair The demand for true men is now slightly increased And Bennie still answers well there. Miamiis young boys sallied forth in a thrice For loyalty, honor and truth above price, And one of these it boys ,, is now Senator Brice Whose honors Miami can share. ' Kentucky has Berry and Root and McKee, And Senator Williams likewise; Shellabarger, Pugsley and Dennison, three Belongs to Ohiois bright skies. Her sons have been scattered all over the states, Will Cumback and Morton, and Uncle Dick Yates. And hundreds have passed throl Miamiis fair gates, Contending for lifeis richest prize. Then rally true-hearted sons, rally again, And work for Miami to-day. She sits the proud mother of earthis grandest men, From her let none turn away. Let all her true sons with affection combine And send her your help from along the whole line, And lifeis fadeless laurels for her thus entwine, She shall wear them forever and aye. 78 MEMORABILIA SEPTEMBER. .

Of the friends that he has known ' So I turn the leaves in fancy, Of the album in my hand, And discern the noble features Of the members of our clan ; Of the men who stood together In contests as'one man ; And we carried all before us, From the time that we began. - In those happy days of yore, We were always loyal fellows, And true blue to the core ; In our battles and successes, In our exploits on the field, We rallied round each other, With the watch word, HNever yield. But our college days are ended, And whatever time may bring, In the dim and distant future, Letls remember just one thing, That true friendship, above all others 15 the noblest gift of God. ' It remains with us forever, And about us warmly clings, Eien to the time to be laid under thesod. But now from the gloomy side, Let us turn to the bright, While Hope and joyous Pleasure Are yet within our sight ; For to dream the 01d dreams over 13 a luxury divine, When my thoughts wander back To those old school days of mine. How dear to my heart are the scenes of my school days, When memories as a Freshman recall them so clear ; Of pranks; of hazings and kindred good pleasures, And all that a college youth holds to most dear; The campus, the main building, with Brice Hall beside it ; The tower on the top of which set the bell ; The tennis courts, the ball grounds, with ii Old Egypt nigh it, And the juicy old bucket that hung in the well ; The heavy 01d bucket, the slime covered bucket, The oderiferous old bucket that hung in the well. h Those memories of school days are sweet to recall, 83 Including the dear girls at College and Sem. ; In fancy again in love do I fall, Espemally with one little girl, but ahem ! ' Twas the 01d sad story-to love, to forget ; Now I recall it with scarce a regret ; But the blue eyes, brown hair, and lips ljust to kiss? Were enough to drive a man to sweet realms of bliss. To the memory of this one a tear do I , cast- ITis a long since forgotten dream of the past, Yet Iid stake my all to have granted one wish, which in fine, Is lito greet the living presence now of that old sweetheart of mine? But the darned old bucket, Pd almost forgotten its existence, Until it forced itself upon me with very great persistence ; , But to be plain in language which you can readily see, Illl say the charms of that bucket are not what theyire cracked up to be. But yet that old bucket weill hail as a treasure, For oftl after iiexains, when returned with the iihoss; Weld iind it a solace and source of great pleasure, When taking a drink, from us our cares we would toss ; Wet was the water and thirsty the lips, Which were well satisfied with short little sips. If you would have me write more poetry and chaff, It is meet that the wine of the muses I quaif; From the foregoing poem-it certainly shows it- I do not pretend to be a great poet,- But if I had the pen of a Dickens or Swing, . I would then be able to say lljust thething. But as thatis not the case, and I know it is time, 1:11 stop right now as the clock sounds the chime. Perhaps, more anon, I can write for this book, If perchance this does not reach the dead letter hook. MAY 15, 1893. 84 SAMUEL F. HUNT HON. , PUBLIC DAYS 1892- 93.

' When Freshman meets a lovely lass, He uses all his art To entertain the pretty maid, And captivate her heart ; His Whispered words of trembling love The fair one will not tell ; An yet we know it like a song, For Fardy tolled the bell. O Fardy, you will break some heart, If thus so indiscreet ; N 0 secret surely can exist In campus, court or street ; And if a student takes a kiss, The town will know it well ; How could thefact an hour be hid.
