CABELL,' BUSINESS MANAGER xX X a RECENSIO EDITORIAL STAFF, SALUrFATORY BOARD OF EDITORS place this volume of THE RECENSIO in the hands of the students, Alumni, and all those interested in Miami Uni- versity, feeling that they done all that lay in their power to make this issue a satisfactory one. It has been our aim to portray Miami as she is-her distin- guishing features, her characteristics as an institution of learning, her customs, her attractions, her student life. Every college man must love his alma mater, every student the college of his choice, for there is a certain indescribably pleasurable something about college life that makes one fully cognizant of the fact that al- though it has its trials and tribulations, its cares and worries; nevertheless in after years we shall look back upon it as the most enjoyable period of life. It is thus with every college man, and we point with pride to the fact that this spirit exists among M'amz'is Alumni in a more pronounced manner than can be said of nine-tenths ofthe college graduates'of our land. We have' labored, thought, planned and schemed and have tried to obey the injunction left by last years board: t HMay those who follow the present editors; and for whom it shall be the lot to publish 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 Miamifi We have each worked in our separate departments, yet each man- has been a part of the whole and worked for the success of the whole. To our many friends who have aided us financially we take this opportunity of expressing our heartfelt thanks. We especially request Miami students to patronize those who have advertised with us. They have aided you, for this volume is yours, not the Board of Editors, and when possible, you should return the favor. Special thanks are due to A. H. Upham, i97, the RECENSIO artist. And now sincerely hoping that our labors have not been in vain, and that we have not proven unworthy of the trust reposed upon us, we wish for those who follow us a successful issue and to ttOld Miami a successful future and respectfully submit to your consideration THE RECENSIO for 1893-94.

SKETCH'OF MIAMI UNIVERSITY HE HISTORIC document known as nThe ordinance of 1787,, under which the North- westl Territory was organized, names as its purpose the tlextending the fundamental principles of civil: and religious liberty, A c 1 and Hto hx and establish those principles as the basis of all laws, constitutions and governments, which forever hereafter shall be formed 1n the said territory. l, In article III we read that ureligion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools, and the means of education shall forever be , encouraged? These principles firmly believed and practiced by intelligent men were far reaching in their injiuence upon both government and educa- tion in the territory. The ordinance invited to settle within its boundaries named those who believed in a free government and an educated people. By originial charter the territory has been organized in aid of religion, morality and education, as the con- ditions of human happiness. Under the control of said sentiment we can easily understand the purpose of the conditions providing for the Stipport of education. Out of this ordinance came the authority for the condition in the John Cleves Symmes grant by which a portion of the land was to be used for the support; of an institution of learning: That purchase was the beginning of Miami University. In another direction the beginning wasnnot less important. The great religious awakening sometimes called ltthe revival of 1800 that swept over the country f0r a number of years was fruitful in the renewed interest taken in the-schools and colleges. Miami University along with a number of other colleges owes its existence in large part to the spirit inithatlmove- ment. What more fitting territory could be foundv in , which Christian sentiment could found a college than in the Northwest Territory under the stimulating and progressive doctrine of the ordinance of 1787. The University through all these years has endeavored to be true to the spirit in which. she was originated. Her F aculty has always been marked by men who in their day have been the representatives of the best thought in Christian scholarship. Among her presidents the names of Bishop, Junkin, McMaster, Anderson and Hall are familiar to all who know any- thing . of early Presbyterianism in the West. Among the profesSors we mention W. H. McGulTey, J. W. Scott, Chauncey N. Olds, R. H. Bishop, J. C. Moffatt, O. N. Stoddard, Charles 'Elliott, S. H. McMullin and Henry S. Osborn, as men whose scholarship and influence are still recognized by those who came under their instruction, and by thousands of living scholars. The men still living who have served the University have proven themselves worthy of the illustrious company in which they? 1abored.. During thev-e'a'rly years ,ofythe University there was graduated an unusual number of men who attained great prominence in public life. This was due in large measure to the character of the young menwho entered, the political character of that period, and the opportunities offered in a new country for educated men. The University was organized in- 1824 and ' graduated her first class in 1826. The first fifty years of her history cover the mOSt eventful period of our country,s history. The country needed well equipped men. To such she oHered tempting opportunities. It will ever remain the glory of Miami that in those years she brought to her country a larger proportion of scholarly, Christian patriotic men able to serve either church or state than did any other similar institution. Christianity, patriotism, manhood and sound scholarship have always determined the spirit of the Uni- versity, There has never been an ambition for greatness other than the greatness of her men as expressed in service. This for nearly hfty years was 11Old Miami? In 1873 through misfortune support has continued frorn year to year. and indebtedness brought on by lack of support in financial matters the University was closed until 188 5. At this time all indebtedness had been paid and a consider able sum of money collected from the land rents. It was deter-W mined to open the University again. The State of Ohio made a liberal appropriation for the refitting of the buildings. That: The Brice Scientific Hall was open for 1186-1111891. Since the reopening the F aculty has been increased to eleven members. The l1brary has been well arranged and 1s increased each year by about Seven h1111dred volumes. The 1 11New Mian1i11 appreciates the splendid h1Story made prior to 1873 and proposes to preserve the best of that. heritage while earnestly seizing the best methods in modern education. ' Accurate scholarship is the ideal of the class room. The University, as always, will put due emphasis upon sohblarsh1p, patriotism and Christianity as essential to that complete rrianhood which 15 the best product any college can oifer to civilizatiOn Int 7 this spirit the University has been working and growing since the reopening in 1885. The younger Alumni are as loyal to their alma mater as the older are proud of the past history. Every prospect indicates a prosperous future. The management con- fidently relies upon the Alumni and friends for assistance in carrying forward the work. SENIOR CLASS ggge agagg P. F. HOFFMAN, - - - Prgsz'dcnl CLASS COLORS, H. H.

This is the question which confronts the writer, notthe same as that which confronted the historian of the class of 93 when he asked nwhat do the people expect of mePll The amount of material on hand which would be of interest to the reading public is wounderful, for has not the class of l94 . always been the leading spirit of the Uni- versity, not only in studies, athletics and society, but in everything else? In fact we became such leaders in the university that Once or twice we forgot our position and thought we would lead the Faculty, but since a few of our Views on the manner of running things around the University differed slightly from theirs we . decided that we had better surrender our position and so save the peaceful citizens of Ohio from witnessing one of the bloodiest and most terrible revolutions which have or ever will happen. Of course though when we surrendered our position it was distinctly understood by each member of the class that the time had not come for this revolution, but that when llTempus F ugiveratll enough we would then decide which should be supreme-the F aculty or the class of l94. In explanation of the above diversion, so that we may not be misunderstood and so that the poor. deluded public may not use their iniiuence against us in this struggle which is about to come, in which one or the other will either be ejected bodily from h16.n thet- uUnaiversity, or decapitated, in which case they will of course go in pickle in the ttlabf we willoname-a 'few- ofthe facts concern- ing the oppression which we have now endured, 10! these three years and a half. In all revolutions there are several causes, but prominent among these We have two, namely: oppressive taxation and religious oppression. Indeed the tax which the tyrants impose- on us is oppressive, to the pocketbook depressive, and the manner in which it is paid impressive. At the beginning of our third. year under their rule a heavy pole-taX was imposed upon us ' which was oppressive, depressive, impressive and almost sup- pressive. In fact it almost took the food from our mouths to pay this tax, tif it did not do this it took the money out of our pockets for nine months any how if not longery The next cause is one of vast importance and one which many times has been brought before the rulers, but alas with the same result each time. During our first-two years compulsory attendance at morning services on Sunday was required, ,each person signing a slip that he had obeyed the laws of these rulers. At the end of the second year, however, this was abolished, but a worse law was enforced namelywconipulsory attendance at the- Sunday afternoon Services of the tlEstablished Churchll of the University, a inedi$val custom which should not be endured. We appeal to the wisdom and good sense of the public.- Should we endure this any longer tthan June 21 18949? No,. we will rise up on that day, and verily, we will from that time henceforth and forever let the world know that we are free from oppression and are again free agentstN i If the writer will be pardoned for the previous digression, he will immediately proceed to extract without pain a few of the momentous facts from the conglomerate mass of history of the illustrious and noble class of ,94 and expatiate thereon. I11 the working out of the embryonic form and 1n tracing the developrnent of this 1w113t 15 191 we encounter great difficulties owing to the extraordlnary 111et311101phosis which toOk place. iWith 0111 poo11y constructed optical instruments we are not able . to see the class befo1e the year 1888 A. D., but at this stage of the embryonic form we find it pretty well developed with NRory Moore as its chief characteristic appendage. In the next stage though, in 1889 we find quite an advancement not only in ltRoryfi but also in the appearance of two new appendages to which we have given the appellations of ttIrish Gr - - 11, or ttTin Wolly1, and HTin-soldier R- -h-yf, Before proceeding further in the description of this unknown form, we wish to state that it was specially created and not evolutionized. Its embryonic life lasted two years at the end of which it .was thrown out into the college world 1n which it was destined to live four years undergoing many changes, losing all the appendages Which appeared during the first embryonic year, but developing nine more after birth which did not degenerate. In our Freshman year verily we won the first of our many -17- d and great Victories. The battle took place in the hall way of the main building between the hours of 12 n1. and 1 p. m. Our - opponents were the members of the now defunct class of ,93, who sought to prevent us from accomplishing our end. At the sight of our enemies we advanced with a thrilling and soul stirring hurrah, and in a few minutes the bodies of the enemy might have been heard falling with dull and sickening thuds as they were thrown from their lofty pinnacle of conceit by our conq11ering Freshmen. ' . In our Sophomore year nothing happened with the exception that all of our members became iistuck8 011 QMiss-J'Ana Lyticsfi but about examination time they all decided to ltsit onii her and so put an end to the fiirtation. Our Junior year was entirely uneventful. Of course, though, we attended the ttDecline and F all of the Roman Empire, in a body tnot having carriagesg but as to what we came home in we have forgotten not knowing whether we all got home or not. Our Senior year though is a year Nfor your life8 for this is the year we humbly petitioned the Faculty for a redress of grievances which they despotically refused, an action which made our hearts grieve for months. Nothing exciting has hap-A ' pened this year so far, but they say that there is going to be an- other event in the near future similar to the 8Decline and Fall, but going under the title of, iiThe Stormin g of the Bastilei, or tlThe March of Coxey,s Army on to the Black Hole of Calcutta? The full account of this will begin in our next. C. E. G.

They, forgetful of duty, without the adequate preparation will, I fear, find life a Herculean task. Our entertainment in class rooms has been nothing of which we can justly complain, but possibly a slight suggestion would be of some use: for instance, we all think it would be nice to have refreshments of some kind served from time to time just to reViVify our flagging energies, cool our heated brows and allow our strained muscles a brief relaxation, after say three-quarters of an hours hard wrestling with the forms of Aeschylus, or ex- cavating two hundred lines of the concise Tacitus, or after carefully, critically and analytically looking over the phenomena of mind, and especially, since during these llprocessesil or tlpsychosesll our minds or egos are Hundifferentiated continua? Indeed we Junors who are desirous of knowing more or less of the modern languages, do hereby petition the Board of Trustees to issue an order whereby full-fledged dinners will be served to those of us who are so unfortunate as to do battle with French at the eleventh hour, for the professor in charge is so highly pleased with our winning ways that he seems loath to part from us, and lengthens the entertainment far into the afternoon under such conditions. I fear our receptive faculties shrink away with remarkable rapidity, owing possibly to the fact that we are all ' good Visualizers and the most delightful visions of a rich appetiz- ing lunch appear to fill the whole room with their tempting ' presence. The professor as a material substance evaporates and his soft, dulcet, soporiferous tones seem iloating to us from far away. Either pity, realizing itself in a savory lunch, should come to the aid of this example of starving humanity or else we should be allowed to assemble at an earlier hour so that we might be able to dine with our various clubs. Hoping the Faculty will act upon this suggestion immediately in a session extraordinary, we ought next to acknowledge With heartfelt thanks the extreme kindness of the F aculty as a body. We really and truly appreciate the great amount of time they have devoted to us in striving to arouse some degree of interest in the cold, gray, somber, diihcult and often dry iields of knowledge which they represent. We feel so grateful to them that whenever we feel our interest lagging, and find our bodies,, thol seated in chairs, widely diverging from the' erect and ap- proximating the horizontal as nearly as the zig-zag frames of the Chairs will permit, we always feel so ashamed of ourselves after such evidences of our subjection to the carnal, that we invariably remain after the dismissal of the class and apologize, for we never like them to know how dry they sometimes become. Neither do we wish them to know how ' intensely enthusiastic they, at times, make us. Indeed, few outside our own number know with what flagging interest, wandering eyes and bodies curiously twisted we spur them on toegreater explanatory efforts. We sometimes fear that because we look out the windows, yawn, Stretch, pretend to be sleepy and recite with far away, tired expressions, the pro- fessors may think we are not giving them our attention, but I hardly think they are so unkind. Sometimes, during examina- tions especially, they wander around near the walls, with bright eyes, fiushed faces and furtiye glances as thol in quest of some- thingm Possibly they suipeqt'the;proximity of a latent equine. They 2do this hbecauseythey' have notiCed a strong, Walmost' un- ' controllable propensity a in V the other classes to make effOrt-s to distinguish themselves as cavalry men, but they do us' cruel wrong for thol our memory scrolls will not contain thirty-six thousand words without a break in the continuity of their order or. disorder, they will contain suilicient data to prevent our falling into the abyss 0f the conditioned. We have all studied hard during the past year, literally we are grinds, plodders, we work because we are tired, and then hard study gives to one an interestingly intellectual look and adds also to some a scholastic bend which we care not for, but are forced to receive. In respect to a comparative gradation with the other classes we may assert that thoi we are not thought to be as super- .iicial and dogmatic as the Senior classand tho, we are not as verdant, conceited, lacking in a knowledge of the ropes and as tremendously unimportant as the F reshman land Sophomores who inflating their balloon-like lungs blow such a whirlwind of nonsense out of their bellows-like heads about their petty quarrels and strifes, in which. the one infinitesimally important tramples upon the bodies of the other infinitely unimportant, gobbling and braying all the while, ttvam'tas vanitalum. From our position we are privileged to look calmly and coldly down upon the Lilliputian struggle going on below us. Poor devils! Little do they realize what the future has in store for them. Mentally equipped as they are, forced, in the somber darkness, to shoulder the fatal rock of Sisyphns, or in other words the heavy responsibilities of life, and push on up the obscure ascent, and thoi unlike the experience-of Sisyphus our iigurative rock never falls rpff, nevertheless the task is equally tremendous for the. ascentistendlessly prolonged throughout all the spaces of eternity, and only' will Surcease of unrelenting toil come when they sink under their heavy burdens upon the cutting, uneven; slope, rendered unconscious of their sufferings by the cold, silent, ghastly presence of somber darkness enwrapped death. Terrible, but it is i a relief to the melancholy sufferers. We only look with pity upon this sad scene and feel not at all boastful, ,tis only natural that it should be such as it is. It is very just that we should attain some degree of success, for we have our representa- tives in all the departments of training, both mental and physical. But as a unit we have done very little work this year, in fact. only once have we gathered up sufficient energy to have a class; meeting. Still united action has only been necessary that once; for we have grown accustomed to hearing the other classes bark- ing and howling around our heels and we rest secure and cool in the knowledge that it isnt possible fOr them to injure us.

HISTORIAN. SOPHOMORE CLASS W. M. CLEAVELAND, President W. M. FOWLER, V z'ce-Presz'dent H zstorz'azz - LASSES COME AND CLASSES GO, but 3 ninety-siX will go down in history as the most illustrious ,of the many hands of college students that have ever known the mysteries of college life at UOld Miami? From the time we matriculated as iiprepsf it was evident that we were destined to exert a great innuence over the world we had just entered. Indeed we were so precocious that one professor could ...V..h-.M., W CLASS COLORS, PINK AND CREAM YELL-Ha, he, hi, ho, 4 Hola, ga, zou, . Hola, ga, ziX, Miami 96. not keep us supplied with foodfor reiiection and so another had to be appointed to help that one out. This is the nrst reform we were the means of working. Of course, when we entered the college proper and became Freshmen, new duties and responsibilities confronted us. On looking over the field of action, we found a bad state of affairs. The ways of our predecessors had become perverted and the name Freshman was an odious one to the professor. We were looked upon with great distrust. It was a crisis in the history of Miami University. But ninety-six was not found wanting. We set to work to restore confidence among the profs. and had even better success than we had hoped for. Soon the prejudice existing towards F reshmen vanished and the hearts of the upper classmen were so moved that the Sophs turned from the error of their ways and, as a mark of repentance, wore sack cloth and ashes, the usual emblems of mourning, for a period of thirty days ' and nights. Out of courtesy, we postponed painting the tower until the ninety-fives had completed their acts of repentance. Then we arose as one man, and at last Our insignia was graven upon the tablets of the lofty turret as in letters of ilame. There those figures l96, so full of meaning, remained for a year. At the end of that time we were one step nearer the goal. Another change was now brought about for which we con- tend the class of ninety-six was responsible. The F aculty, think- ing that after us no class would be worthy the name Freshman, broke up the system dividing the college into, F reshman, Sopho- more, Junior and Senior classes. At present, the term F reshman is merely nominal, and of course we are now nominal Sophs. When a new class next emerged from tlprepdomf, by reason of infantile desire for sport and jealousy at our prestige, it decided to mar our emblems on the tower, gleaming from beneath a coat of red paint, applied by order of the Faculty. The ninety- sevens spent one night dabbling in blue paint with the sad result of causing their clothes and guaranty funds to suffer. Ninety- six, out of sympathy for the over enthusiastic ninety-sevens, allowed their work to remain until President T hompson eradicated the hideous scrawls on our beloved tower. The class of ninety-six has an excellent. it stand in l, with all the University authorities, eSpecially Dr. Thompson and Fardy. Ask the professors how we stand in scholarship, but donit tell us their answer as We are naturally very modest and it might embarrass us. Reader, you have seen us on the foot-ball iield and the diamond. Can you now question our athletic ability? Socially we have met you often, and such occasions are some of the most pleasant of our college life. When the RECENSIO is issued, almost half of our career as students will have been finished. W ith mingled feelings of pleasure and sadness we look back upon the days already spent at Miami, and, looking forward to the two coming years, when so much will depend on us, we have determined that even a brighter halo shall surrOund those characters i96. It is but right that we should here make mention of a former member of our class-Houghton. We need not speak of his many good qualities as he was well known as a model student and an elegant fellow. This is but the beginning of what we could write concerning the class of ninety-six, but lack of space confronts the historian and so we must gracefully submit, allowing the reader to turn his mind in another'direction.

Swiftly, silently and unostentatiously we came, and the col- lege world was hardly aware of our presence before we. were . firmly established in their midst. The news of our coming spread like wildfire through that band of trembling wretches commonly known as Sophomores. - We soon proved our superiority over them in that memorable rush in the tower, one morning soon after chapel. The struggle was short and sharp, and we had no sooner landed them at the bottom of the stairs than they slunk away. . 1 Oh, Rubes! Oh, Jays! Oh, Worse? than useless things, crawl in your holes and no more let this noble. college and her loyal sons gaze on your ily-specked faces. Sophies, where were you at? Now that they have been fairly beaten, they have the audacity to boast that they have in their possession a few shreds of our glorious old flag. We would call to their mind that memorable occasion when we came out and consented to waltz over their putrid bodies, when we marched the length and breadth of the campus, searching, seeking, scouring in vain for the insignificent class of W96? Disgraced, disfigured and distorted; the nrst class to crawl from a rush! But why dwell on the details of that memorable night, the world at large knows of the glorious way in which we achieved the Victory. It is also awakening to the marvelous manifestations of our undoubted literary ability. In studies we are pre-eminent, we are undoubtedly the most brilliant class that ever entered the University. We have heard the upperclass-men speak of ltflunksll and ttconditionsf but we listen with blank faces, as such things are entirely unknown to us. The professors, recognizing our ability, are in sympathy with us and have led us into flowery helds of knowledge, where tthorsesll never feed, which we have readily devoured, and even now are anxiously awaiting to be led into newer and fresher pastures. The genius of one of our number becomes evident in the brilliantly illuminated pages of this annual. Socially we also take the lead, nothing shows our pre-eminent popularity in that line better than the factthat while the other three classes are entertained at the ttCollegell and ttSeminaryll in a r herd, we are the class which stands alone, and is invited alone, in order that they may devote more time to-entertaining us. In this we feel greatly honored, although it is but justice to us. Such has been our record, such our Victories, such our at-r tainments. As Freshmen we have been a success, and yet for all these we desire no credit; had we had abler opponents we might never have made the grand success we have, and as new trials, new tribulations, other battles devolve upon us, we hope to cope with them so successfully that the next historian will be able to paint the history of our class in still more glowing colors. And now we would bid farewell to our readers, the all-com- pelling hand of time hurries us on to new scenes and new experiences. ' ' F rom the present time, fraught with all the pleasures of the spring term of the F reshman year, we look back With satisfaction on our first college year just closing. Between us and the time when we shall be thrust out on lifels realities, stern and unmixed with levity, lie three years more- of work, sociability and pleasure. Without cliques or factions, united by the bands of fellow sympathy, the class of l97 invite scrutiny and are open to emulation. FREDRIC RIDGLEY TORRENCE. POSrP C3RA.D U ATE 1 HISTORY of the Post Graduate department for the year 93-4 is only a continuation of the history of the class of ,93 of glorious memory. The resolutions passed by the F aculty and the Board of Trustees, in which the old method of conferring the Masters degree was changed to a new one by which any graduate of Miami might receive that degree, who had completed done yearis Post Graduate work and presented a thesis, attracted two of its members to return. , But these men, moved by their love for their alma mater, had still stronger reasons for returning. It was thought that the withdrawal of so many of the best, most regular and most ex- emplary students would leave the under-graduate department in a very demoralized condition, and it was plainly seen that the class of ,94 was hopelessly incompetent to undertake the duties and responsibilities of leadership, that generally fall upon Seniors. Taking all this into consideration, the class decided that it would be best for at least two of its members to return, that they might by their unswerving loyalty to college work in general, set a glorious example to the aspiring under-graduates. That these men have sustained the reputation of their class need not be stated here. The Faculty of Miami are certainly greatly in- debted to them for the continuation of that highly commendable good conduct which so conspicuously marked the years which - the whole class spent in college. When at the end of this semester they leave their itdear . college Izomef we hope that the iniiuence for good which they leave behind them will be wide-spread, and take deep root in the minds of their fellow-students. Then they may retire with the pleasant consciousness of duty well done to await the plaudits of coming generations. 32:3 1' ' ' 3 ' -' V E?'772-:I:.3.11E!3$I3 'V 3:3: V 43:63; Eta..53.;333'33133533322,j .. ., .3. 3331322g3r31 fifty 1 . , .

Her aim was a good one, her success sure, her r011 has been honored again and again, but her ambition is not yet crowned. We note that the body called themselves a society. It was, however, at iirst a secret organization. According to Art. 19, Sec. 1. of the first constitution adopted we have the following: uI d0 solemnly promise in the presence of this society and on the faith and honor of a gentleman that I shall rigidly keep all its secrets, promote its interests by all honorable means and endeavor at all times and in all places to preserve its character inviolatef, For a short time only the meetings were held with closed doors. On August II, 1826, the above article was amended in such a way that made it no longer a secret affair, for sixty years Erodelphian 5 doors have been open to many aspiring young men, to men who have won their glory and fame as a reward to them for their efforts in oratory and debate.

Realizing the truth of such statements and the needof such an organization the students of Miami University in 1825, one year before the first class Was graduated, organized themselves into a society which has ever since 'been known as Miami Union Literary Society, and as long as the University has been in pro- TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF GOOD. gress the society had a brilliant and enviable history on whose pages are written some of the eminent rulers of the nation. The evening of the 23rd of March was a memorable one in The University as well as the members 1s proud of her noble the history of Miami Union Literary Society and one that will go record. ' While we would not detract anything from the fame of down in its annals as the date of an event which preserved the the University in producing her honored list of Alumni we think dignity of that august and exemplary body, when right triumphed no little honor is due to the Literaries, and many of Miamiis illustrious sons attribute thei1. success in life to the training received within her literary halls. Among some of the prominent names on the roll 'of membership may be mentioned Benjamin Harrison, Robert C. Schenck and David Swing. During the spring of 93 the interest in literary work began to wan and there was fear least it would not survive, but during the present year the spirit of enthusiasm has again revived and she bids fair to become the Miami Union of old. Every F riday evening interesting and prohtable meetings are held and a good attendance is generally secured which is in itself encouraging to literary work. The aim of the soCiety is to advance the importance of debat- ing and extemporaneous speaking and the programs have been limited to speeches, impromptus and debates. The meetings are conducted in strict accordance with parlia- .1nentary law and thus the members have a splendid opportunity of developing themselves along this line of work. The society has an elegant library of six hundred volumes of the best reading mate11a1 suitable for literary w ork to which the members have fiee access over wrong, and the stern hand of the law was laid upon one of Since its organization the society has had a total member- its members who maliciously. felonously and intentionally went ship of eleven hundred and sixty- seven and the present memberw to sleep during the previous meeting and disturbed the proceedings ship 15 twenty- one. of the meeting by snoring audibly and having his mouth open six inches. Such malignant conduct so incensed the members that on the aforesaid evening the accused was arrested and duly brought to trial for his misdemeanor. Judge Eastman presided over the court while Hon. Thomas D. T emple led the prosecution assisted by John S. Hankins, Esq., and the Hon. C. B. McLinn acted as attorney for the defense. Witnesses were subpoenaed and after some delay a jury was selected as one was ruled out on the grounds of being ill disposed to the defendant. . The scene was an imposing one. The prosecutor addressed the Honor of the court and read the accusation. The prisoner advanced to the bar and pleaded not guilty, whereupon the examination of the witnesses began. y The first man to receive the oath and take the witness stand was A. H. Upham. Mr. Temple questioned the witness closely, who testified that the defendant was subject to somnolency and some startling testimony was drawn from the witness before he left the chair. Messrs. Clark, Hitch, Roland and Shaw then followed in succession. T hese gentlemen testified that the accused. was possessed of a treacherous disposition and produced an abundance of testimony which tilted the scales of justice strongly in the disfavor of the accused, the substance of which we refrain from printing for the good of the society and all concerned. Four more witnesses were heard, who turned the tide of evidence in favor of the defendant. After the witnesses were dismissed the prosecutors forcibly and eloquently presented the facts of the case which had been drawn from the testimony, to the jury. Then followed the attorney for the defense, who made a noble effort to preserve the honor and good name of the prisoner at the bar, but he realized as well as the court that he had a weary way before him. After he had enumerated the whole proceedings of the trial, advancing upon his knees before the jury he concluded by warning them that upon their judgment and decision rested the prisoners future happiness or everlasting disgrace and perhaps his last earthly punishment. The speeches pro and con having been finished, the sheriff conducted the jury to the council chamber where the great trial was to be decided. During their absence the court room was as silent as the tomb, disturbed only now and then by a deep moan from the trembling prisoner. The judge sat with bowed head and the attorney held his breath. The jury were not long in consulting and soon returned and handed the .Verdict to the clerk, who slowly arose and read the awful sentence which condemned the prisoner to be beheaded. The attorney for the defense was thunderstruck. The prisoner pale as death fell to the floor in a swoon. The court adjourned. ,v '1'. . ' 'VV i-AJ ' j, IV V ' 5 V :. . V : ; .'.:w .2. 2 '3; '.

Richmond College 1 HISTORY OF 'FHE ALtlDI-IA CHAPTGER OF BETA THETA PI 0 MIAMI UNIVERSITYbelbngs the dis- . tinetion of having introduced into western colleges the American college fraternity system. And in View of the fact that our beloved college has been the birth place of r - three great Greek letter societies; Miami has received the title of the ttMother of Fraternities? In addition to these three Alpha chapters, branches of the three other distinguished fraternities have been located here, all of which have done great credit to all parties concerned. One of the first chapters of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity was established at Miami. It soon acquired an excellent reputa- tion and flourished without a rival for several years. But in 1839 a new brotherhood came into existence known as Beta Theta Pi. The two prime movers in the foundation of our fraternity were John Reily Knox and Samuel Taylor Marshall both of whom are now living. The bother members of the original chapter were 'ljavid Linton, James G. Smith, Charles H. Hardin, John leDuncan, Michael C. Rya'dfif and Thomas B. Gordon. And so, at nine-Olelock on theevehing of the 8th of August, 1839, in a room in the north: dbrmitory, the first Beta meeting was held. Little did these brothers, tSilver Greys we call them now,l realize that the outgrowth of that meeting was to be an order that should exert a powerful influence all over our country in uniting men in bonds of sacred friendship. Fifty-iive years have past and still Beta Theta Pi advances. Her chapters are now located in sixty of our best institutions of learning and Betas are found ' throughout the United States. We cannot go into a detailed account of the past history of our chapter. Betas then had their joys and sorrows'as they have to-day. We now have some advantages which they had not. Then, fraternities were looked upon with suspicion; now, their merits are understood by all. In those earlier days chapter meet- ings were held in the rooms of members, in corn fields, in churches, in deserted buildings, in every conceivable place where apart from the rest of the world they could hold communion with Wooglin. Today we enjoy comfortable chapter houses and halls. Alphials members have become eminent in all the walks of life; in statesmanship, in theology, in journalism, in professional life, in business. Every year many of them return to their alma mater at commencement time and their fraternity enthusiasm is at its highest point. . When Miami closed in 1873, Alpha chapter ceased to exist for a time. With the re-opening, however, was felt the need of fraternities. On June 22, 1886, the chapter was revived'through the efforts of Bro. J. Newton Brown, a former member of the Wooster chapter. Since then Alpha has been in a prosperous condition. The fraternityls semi-centennial was celebrated in 1889. 'A long-to-be-remembered ceremony connected with the occasion was the raising of the first Greek fraternity flag, over Miami University, and this same flag now hangs in our hall, an object of admiration to all Betas. We are proud of Miami and proud of our fraternity, and as time goes on each seems to be more worthy of our devotion and pride. G. M.

Leland Stanford Jr. University PI-II DELTA 'TI-IETA A SKETCI-I HE PHI DELTA THETA FRATERNITY was organized at Miami University Decem- - North Dormitory, but at that time called the North-east Building. The founders were: Robert Morrison, 49; John McMillan Wil- . son, 49; Robert Thompson Drake, lso; John Wolfe Lindley, ,5o; Ardivan Walker Rogers, l51; Watts Rogers, ,51. Of these six founders, three, Lindley and Rogers, are still living. The order was founded for the purpose of filling a position in the University which needed such an order, and the founders did not anticipate that it would extend beyond the institution which gave it birth. But while they did not know for what they were building, they nevertheless built well and laid the founda- tions broad and deep-the foundations upon which the national order 110w rests. The second chapter of the order was placed at Center Col- lege, Danville, Ky., and the third in Indiana State University. Morrison, ber 26, 1848, in what is now known as the and Andrew best colleges and universities in the country. After this the fraternity extended rapidly through the West and South, until now it is nrmly established in sixty-nine of the It has always been the poliCy of the fraternity to enter only colleges of high stand- ing, but at the same time to extend the order in all directions, binding the North and the South, the East and the West into a national brotherhood. ' Ohio Alpha Chapter, at the time the university closed her doors in 73, necessarily declined, and was not re-organized again until the fall of I88 5, when the university was again opened. At this time steps were taken towards re- -organizing the . chapter, and on the 2nd of October, 1885, the white and the blue were flung to the breeze. To mention the names of all the men who have gone forth from Ohio Alpha, and who are now holding positions of trust and honor would require too much space. But in all the states throughout the country there are to be found men whose hearts are warm for Miami and for the Ohio Alpha Chapter from which they have gone out A. G.

DELITA PCAPPA E PSILON A SKETCI-I t T YALE, in June, 1814, 8the home of student traditionsi and tithe mother of student associations, a band of fifteen young men desiring in the highest degree the pleasur- Iers and advantages of an honorable friend- ship, founded the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. Her two great rivals,A1pha Delta Phi and Psi Upsilon founded but little more than a decade before, had established a flourishing Chapter at Yale and were disputing for supremacy in the North and East. Both had at- tained strong positions in ten or a dozen of the leading institu- tions found in the contested held. One only, the Alpha Delta Phi, had gone without the pale and placed chapters in the west- at Miami in 183 5 and at Western Reserve in 1847. At the coming of Delta Kappa Epsilon, she met her rivals face to face 011 their vantage ground. She carried the conquest into the open ,iield. She planted 'her arms, not only in the North and East, but in the South and West, as well. She became the great National Fraternity. Before the first ten years of her history had closed she had instituted Chapters in nearly all of the lead- ing institutions of the east, had thriving chapters in the six great colleges of the South and-ihad directed her march to the West. Chapters were placed in three superior institutions of that section. Ohio claimed two of them, Kappa at Miami, established in 1852 and Lambda at Kenyon, established the same year. Miami University had been founded a third of a century before, by the sturdy settlers of the Miami Purchase, that their sons niight'have the advantages of a liberal education. She was. now in her earlyiprosperity. Her halls teemed with students from the adjacent states. Her past had been glorious, her present was prosperous and her future could not be other than promising. By such institutions Delta Kappa Epsilon was sought and won.. In March, 18 52, llThe Immortal Six? as they were christened, having severed by 8a spirit of independence and self 'assertionlr the bond that joined them to the parent Chapter of one of the western fraternities, became, with one exception, the founders. of Kappa Chapter. The spirit of llIndiVidualityQi which marked its establishment and which was the peculiar characteristic of Kappa Chapter ever afterward, asserted itself in a notable degree, when, in 18 5 5, six of the twelve members composing the Kappa Chapter, formally withdrew and founded the Alpha Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. The llLoyal Sixll under the wise and discreet direction of Whitelaw Reid, bore the standard of Kappa Chapter llinto the highway of a prosperous career that was honorable to the fraternity? Kappais roll continued to be illuminated with the names of youthsebrave and trueewho now-in the lapse of years-are distinguished by the positions of worth and trust they hold. Her proud record remained unbroken until theclose of the University in June, 1873, when insuiiicient financial support precluded a continuance of .the institution. llThe massive gates of Kappa, with their great hinges, closed only with the Closed doors of Miami University? - In 188 5, after a suspension of more than half a score of years, Miami University again opened her doors for collegiate work. Aicomplete re-organization was eifected. Once more the 801d CollegeH assumed its place among the institutions of the West. Success and prosperity assured, the alumni of Kappa Chapter set about to re-establish Delta Kappa Epsilon at Miami. To this end, acting on the advise of Hon. Calvin S. Brice, ,63, and Samuel F. Hunt, ,64, the fraternity in the F o'rty-Third Conven- tion, assembled at Boston, Mass, October 16 and I7, 1889, unanimously granted the petition for a renewal of the charter of Kappa Chapter. On the evening of December 20th, .llThe Original Seven? who composed the petitioners, were formally initiated by a delegation of alumni members of the fraternity. Then, the lambent ilame of Kappals glory burst forth, the old songs were sung with great jubilee and a new era was begun. The future of the chapter is yet to be recorded. Its members include the best men of the University. Four years of active work proves their strength. That they have conducted the chapter along right lines, is shown by its present prosperity. The old Kappa is praised for its history and the spirit of true manliness with which its members were endowed. May the new Kappa be worthy of the old-an honor to the Fraternity. $ $ X $ $ $ $ $ $ is is The above is a record of the founding of the general fraternity, and also of the chapter located at Miami. The historian expressed a wish for the welfare. of the present chapter. It has been granted and its interests are being watched by a membership of loyal enthusiastic men. Kappa has repre- sentatives in all of the college classes, and her future has been carefully provided for. SIC3 M .A CI-i I 1855 SOPHOMORES. FRATER IN URBE. H. A. FENTON. W. M. FOWLER. C. O.

Leland Stanford, J-r., University HISTORY OF 'FHE ALPHA CHAP'ITER OF SIGMA CHI which immediately followed 1850, Miami was in her prime Three hundred students iilled her halls with busy college life. Her fame extended throughout the west and she was attracting to herself a brilliant company of , youth whose names have since made hers illustrious. As elsewhere, Greek letter fraternities formed the centers of under-graduate life. tF our fraternities had been established in the institution and Kappa Chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon was especially noted for its Collection of brilliant fellows. On her role were the names of Whitelaw Reid, since famous as the editor of the N. Y. Tribune; Isaac M. Jordan, famous as a jurist and congressman, and General B. P. Runkle, well-known to fame as a soldier and journalist. However, in this brilliant coterie there' was a wide diiTer- ence of opinion. This culminated at an election of the Erodelphian Literary society in a split in the chapter. Six of 1the younger members, Viz: Jordan, Runkle, Bell, Cooper, Cald- well and Seobey, who had been initiated since the founding of the chapter, withdrew and founded a new fraternity naming it the Sigma Phi. Just previous to this their number had been in- creased to seven by the admission of Will L. Lockwood. Runkle and Lockwood drew the design of the badge and the hrst one was made by a Cincinnati jeweler, Bradley. Not long after this, the chapter hall was broken into and the seal and constitution stOlen. Nothing daunted, the chapter at once proceeded to draw up a new constitution and adopt a new seal. The name was changed to Sigma Chi. It was on the 28th of June, 1855, that these seven threw out to the gaze of the college world the White Cross, with a con- lidence that bordered on a belief in destiny. Their ideal of fraternity was founded on the belief that close personal friendship could only exist among a few. They believed in a proper mutual support in the contests for college honors, but. they believed also that helpfulness could exist in a thousand quieter ways of greater value. They believed in individuality and manly independence, but they required iirst as the only natural basis of the organization, congenial tastes, good fellow- ship and genuine personal friendship. - These principles have become the fundamental rules of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. . All was well until the summer of , 58, when by the decrease in the attendance of men of the right sort and the large number of Sigs in the classes of l57 and 38, the chapter was left very weak. ' There were very few among the incoming classes that answered to the high ideals of the founders. To prevent the lowering of the standard of the fraternity, Alpha died in the summer of i 58 at the hands of its own members. The condition of the college was not thought to warrant the revival of the Chapter until the fall of 92. On the evening of September 13, 1892, Alpha was re-established by the initiation by Zeta Psi Chapter of seven charter members, by an odd coincidence the same number as that of the founders. The seven were: W. L. Stubbs, E. P. Robinson, W. H. Nutt, J. E. MacSurely, C Izz', S. S. McClintock, W. C. Stevenson and C. C. Adams, Since then the chapter has initiated six men Y. M. OFFICERS 1894 W. M. CLEAVELAND, J. CHAS. EVANS, President Vice President .HERE' IS no other department in the college which should receive the hearty co-opera- tion of every student more than the Y. M. C. A. lTis here, that the student receives the careful religious training, which is impos- sible for him to get in any other depart- ment. He becomes more acquainted with his bible, not only becomes better versed in the different parts of that Holy Book, but when he enters the great battles of life in earnest, he will be better equipped to stand up for Christ, and show to the world what he has truly learned from Him. iTis here, again, that the student should cultivate his social as well as his religious life, for we think the Lord intended no one to be a half Christian, and all will agree that our lives would come far short of what is intended if we should live regardless of sociability. Indeed, to live successful Christian lives, sociability should go' along very close to the bible, as one of the chief factors of Christian living. I C. A. PAUL YOCKEY, JOHN S. HANKINS, - D. M. HUSTON, Recording and Financial Secretary Treasurer - Sergeant-at-Arms But far the most important results received by being assoa ciated with Y. M. C. A.-the student comes in very close come munion with his God, and how vastly important this is to a pro- fessing Christian. How every meeting should arouse him to his Christian duty. How he should enjoy mingling his voice with others in praise to Him, testify for Him, pray to Him, asking, knowing that he shall receive. For many years the young men of the Miami University held religious services every week under what was then known as llThe Society of Inquiry? Their meetings were always very well attended and have resulted in very much good. In 187o it was decided to change the name of the Society of Inquiry to the Y. M. C. A. The Change made, the constitution was adopted, committees were appointed who went to work with greater zeal than ever before. In a few months this religious awakening was not only felt in the University, but also. out in the town. At that time the citizens were admitted into the membership of the Y. M. C. A., and quite a number gladly availed them- selves of the opportunity by becoming active members. They went to work at once and in this way were especially helpful to the older members. Ever since that time the Y. M. C. A. has been reaching out, striving to bring young men to the realization of their Chris- tian duties and enable them to walk and live righteous, upright lives. V As this school year draws to a close, we look back over the past year as one spent pleasantly and profitably. Our meetings have been well attended, the leaders-have always selected very practical topics, and treated them in a very masterly and inter- esting way. At present we are greatly in need of a building of our own, and we are looking into the near future with great anticipation of the time when we shall see a splendid building erected on our campus dedicated to the Y. M. C. A. It seems to us that the Lord has been very good to us during the past year, he has given us good Christian young men to help and encourage us by their cooperation. We predict and pray for great blessings for the association at Miami for the com- ing year. HPoor indeed thou must be, if around thee Thou no ray of light and joy canst throw'; If no silken cord of love hath bound thee, To some little world through weal and woe ; If no dear eyes thy fond love can brighten, No fond voices answer to thine own ; If no brotheris sorrow thou canst brighten By daily sympathy and gentle tone. ; 'smm 11M .

I GAMES 1894. Miami vs. Hamilton Buckeyes, Miami vs. Wittenberg, 12 innings, 22e16 10-9 TENNIS ENNIS is a popular sport at Miami and the courts are constantly occupied in fair weather. There are many players among whom are really experts and we fully believe that Miami can hold her own with any western college at this game. During last yearis tournament there were many iine matches played, especially notable were those between Greer and Richey and Richey and Cabell. The result of the tournament ' was that Sears W.Cabe11 i95 established his right as champion for the year 1892-3. The championship in doubles is still held by C. E. Greer, 94, and G. H.

We are very much as we used to be when volume I of our history was given last year to the breathlessly expectant public. T here are two missing links: Hack, Mead, who has gone home to papa and if reports are true, is now engaged in shoveling coal; and Asher Work, Who has so 'far fallen from. grace that he has left us and taken up his abiding place with Paul ttSquirtii Hoffman. Our completed list follows: Ducker, Markle, McDonald, Laudenbeck, Ganson, Hall, Pfau, Courtright, VanBuren, Molyneaux, Lamb and Weatherbye a noble category of shining examples for future ages. John Percy Ducker still possesses his world renowned heart- smashing chuckle, but at times it presents a rather forced aspect. There is something of the Ngenus far away, in Johnnie,s luminous opticse-something suggestive of what once was and now isn,t. Be comforted Johnnie. Danie F ortune is ihckle, for she is Dame Fortune, and it may be that Hsome sweet day she will cause a powerful sowi-wester to blow her up this way and then we can depend upon you to make up for lost time.

Lamb is a success in any role from a hyena to a Comanche, from the devoted lover to the wrathful avenger. Sometime Within the last decade he called at a sister' institution. After having finished the necessary preparations, he decided that the only thing necessary to make him quite complete was Courtrightls scarf pin. Courtright, with characteristic generosity granted his request, and Lamb departed on his happy mission, with his heart thumping contentedly at the thought of having another heart to beat in unison with it. This was probably realized ithere is nothing but circumstantial evidencei, for Lamb returned minus the scarf pin and sought to pacify its 'owner by saying that it now -was a more highly honored pin than ever a Dud is an expert swimmer and , pin was before. Courtright was temporarily pacified, but the novelty soon wore off, and he began to feel an uncontrollable desire to possess that pin again. Courtright now wears the pin, but nothing more is in order here about those two hearts beating in unison. Ah, Lambkin, this is a world of woe! Goldsmith says of friendship; ll ,tis but a name, a sound that lulls to sleepli and then he goes on and speaks of love thusly: liAnd love is still an emptier sound, The modern fair one,s jest: On earth unknown, or only found To warm the turtles nest? But youth and a strong constitution prevailed and Lamb is with us still. .May he live and prosper, may he .not develop into a black sheep, but may his wool ever preserve the immaculate purity of its youthful glory. Miss Sallie Molyneaux still presides over us with that same characteristic good nature, looking over many transgressions, indulging our faults, and in various ways manifesting the fact that she understands llboysii and thinks they are passably good creatures even if they are ttnaughtyll at times. l And now look out for us again next year, for we are as certain to bob up serenely at the proper time as Old S01 is to throw forth his rays of light and warmth on a cloudless summer morn.

' THE GOSHORN CLLJB AYS LONGFELLOW tllife without health is a burden, with health a. joy and happiness? One thing Which has contributed greatly to the joy and happiness of the members of the Goshorn Boarding Club has been good health, which. we must attribute to the splendid fare received at the hands of our efficient mistress, Mrs. Goshorn. This aesthetic pleasure ofeating at the Goshorn house, three times a day, surely deserves more than a passing notice There is no doubt but that the readers of the RECENSIO will be greatly interested 1n the Goshorn Boa1d1ng Club. The excellent . menus served every day would alone fill a volume much larger than the RECENSIO, and would be far more fascinating than llSpringerls Dr. Chase? but the want of space will not permit us to give a detailed account of our Sunday dinners, nor Monday morning breakfasts, but we 11 proceed to publish to the worlcl some of the history of this very famous club. It 25 a very famous club every member being noted as hav- ing an enormous appetite and wishing, like Apicus of old, for the neck of a stork so that he might enjoy his dinner longer. The greater number of those who daily iind their way to the Goshorn house about meal time, hail from a Village which has had names from Bagdad to Paddyls Run, from Glendower to Shandon. Another of the company, a very good young man, Johnnie Good for short, comes from a smallvillage called Trenton, and is well worthy of the acquaintance of the readers of the RECENSIO. The nieiits and demerits 'of beefsteak and potatoes, and Vice versa, are discussed at every meal, and owing to the very degenerate times, which will not permit of having new bills of fare p1intcd, we will still continue to have our favorite dish, beefsteak and potatoes, untilithe end of the term. John Good is the most fastidious of the club. He is a noted epicurean, and one whose tastes could not be satisfied except at the Goshorn house. -Marston is the wit of the club, and is full. to- overiiowing with witty and pithy sayings. ' The good humor which pervades the company when John is at his best, aids greatly in the digestion of Ambrose Wespiserls Chicago roasts. All in all it is a very congenial cOmpany. There is S. R. Rolands, who says little, but recommends Grineris groceries. Stanley accepts in good grace what is set before him and feels very grateful for a good digestive apparatus. J. Sutphin Manuel is more particular, hav- ing boarded at a very fashionable boarding house tat Dennison V last yeari where he contracted an abnormal appetite for hominy and oatmeal. Owing to the expensive nature of these dishes, they are only served on holidays. John contents himself on get- ting a goodly share on these rare occasions. Burket Clark, the foot ball player of the club, insists on repeating Latin quotations, and is urging a reform that the menu cards be printed in Latin rather than in French. Burket will prove a God-send to his gen- eration if he suceeds in transforming the printing of menu cards into the Latin and then into common English. Burket realizes that he has a great task to perform. Jas. A. Goshorn, removed one generation from the mistress of the Cuisine, is a base ball enthusiaSt of the club. His favorite theme is his trip to Danville. He entertains the club oftentimes with a glowing account of the great time in Danville. Joe is about to inaugurate a reform, in having the. breakfast hour later than 7:30 a. m. A Evans has some idea of being a preacher, and at this early stage in the game is not satisfied with less than three fowls per week.

The club in its entirety is the result of a unified attempt to better satisfy the cravings of the llinner man? Growing weary of going through gymnastic and calisthenic exercises in the NSt. Nicholasll on Main street, we arose as one man and sought surcease of sorrow by changing locations. To our present place we came, saw and are still staying. Ever since that transitional period we have met almost regularly at 7-12-5 of each day. We always have a quorum and any motion made to the waitress is promptly carried out. Different from most organizations the management is lined twenty-iive cents for each absentee. A feast of reason and a flow of soul is furnished with each full- grown meal without extra charge. Bros. Ittner and Torrence +74- will always be pleased to furnish all inquirers with a large assortment of grim, ghastly, funeral jokes, after which sepulchral smiles will be furnished to all within ear-shot, which can be easily adjusted to fit any Visage, and thus the profound solemnity of the occasion may be preserved. For the beneht of those who. are not Gentiles, Bro. Haldeman always kindly translates these brilliant flashes of wit into the Hebrew tongue. Myers always. sWamps his intellect in the labyrinthine pleasures of brown bread. Herman has a peculiarly well developed muscular appetite for corn and Huston is a terriiic toper of H 2 O frappes. We are conveniently located, too, in regard to the variety; we dont have A to get up at midnight in order to get our breakfast and also be present at chapel in time to give Dr. Hepburn accurate informa- tion as to our exact location in the universe. I We have nice fresh air every few minutes in the dining room and we are allowed to breathfreely. Great, isn,t it? i Pure cistern water always on file, and lately we have had ham and eggs on draught. Altogether we are well pleased with our entertainment gastronomically, and are all of us making rapid accumulations of adipose tissue. The year i93e4 is delightful in retro-spect, but we are sometimes shocked when in a sober consideration, We think of how many thousand eggs, how many thousand loaves of bread, puddings, etc., have passed away be- fore our voracious appetites. Still tlallis well that ends wellli and as a result of our past years savory delights we are all fat, sleek and optimistically inclined. Our Matron says illet there be good dinners? and the dinners are, since it is true that liz'gnotz' mallet cupz'dof, Now that I have put you on to the good thing I imagine you are eager and now is a good time for me to leave you.

FISK AS BORN August 31, I843, at Fiskburg, .Kenton County, Ky., moved to Covington, Ky., in October, 1848. Son of Hon. F. Fisk and Elizabeth S. Fisk, His father was lieutenant gover- nor of Kentucky, and a strong union man during the war of the rebellion. '- Chas. H. attended the public schools and graduated from the high school in 1858, but pursued his studies thereafter in that school in special classes. Entered Miami University in February I860e'graduated in 1863. While in the University he was very popular with the great majority of the'students, Faculty and residents of Oxford. He became a member of Kappa Chapter of D. K. E. shortly after he entered college and was an ardent and devoted member of that Fraternity. He was for a time the presiding officer in that chapter. He entered Miami Union Literary Society during his Freshman year and became thoroughly identilied with all the interests of that body. He was ambitious and successful in all of his efforts, and received at the hands of his fellow-students and of the F aculty more honors than were ever allotted to any other one student at the University. He was chosen Junior Orator by his class-represented the college on celebration of Washingtonis birthday -was elected president of Miami Union Literary Society in the last half of the Junior year-chosen to deliver the address at the Vl'inter Exhibition of Miami Union Literary Society in the iir'st half of his Senior year-was given the iirst honor in his class and delivered the valedictory on July 2, 1863. He was noted as the best foot ball kicker ever in the University. He was much inclined' to mischief and in consequence was often in consultation with the F aculty at the F riday afternoon meet- ings. At one time a dilliculty occurred between him and his room- mate on the Campus, and one of the professors while addressing the room-mate became so offended at remarks and actions of the room-mate as to feel called upon to report the conduct to the Faculty. A special meeting of the F aculty was held and the student was expelled. Much dissatisfaction was expressed by the students and a meeting was called at which it was proposed to make their indignation known. Mr. F isk protested against such a proceeding as likely to be detrimental to his chum and declared that he would Visit the professor alone and rectify the matter. He accordingly did so, and so high was 'he held in esteem, that his single statement was suflicient to satisfy the professor of his mistake and to induce him to have the Faculty again called together and the student re-instated without con-1 ditions. I b After his graduation at Miami Mr. Fisk entered the law thce of his father and began seriously the study of the law. The fatherlspartner died about six weeks later and Mr. Fisk began at once to assist his father in all matters. He attended the Cincinnati Law Schooland graduated therefmm with credit in the spring of 1864. He received his law license a few months before reaching his majority, but could nbt enter upon active practice until the fall of 1864. He practiced with his father till July, 1865, when he formed a partnership with Hon. John M. Scott and went to Lexington, Ky., to practice before the Military Courts and Commissions. He was there during the remainder of 1865, in which brief period he defended thirty-three persons accused of murder with success and ability. In 1866 he returned to Covington and resumed the practice there with his father with whom he formed a partnership on January 1, 1868, and the firm of John F. 8: Chas. H. Fisk has since continued. The senior, however, retired from active business in the spring of 1890. Mr. F isk is an avowed Republican, but has not taken to political life as a business. He has devoted himself with untiring energy to the profession of his choice, and has been eminently successful. His clients have ever been among the best citizens and corpora- tions is his Vicinity. While in Lexington he became acquainted with the woman of his choice, and on October 23, 1866, he was. united in marriage to Miss Maggie Enimal, of that City. Three children have blessed this union, but the oldest child, a bright boy, was called hence in January, 1881, at the age of thirteen years and four months. The second son, Otis H., graduated with honor from Yale University in 1892, and has been in Germany pursuing his studies since that time. He will remain , there for a four years, course. The third child is Miss Elizabeth 8., her grandmothers namesake, now in her tenth year. The subject of , this sketch has been highly honored by the Masonic Fraternity with which he has been intimately identitied since 1877. He has been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, Grand T. I. Master of the Grand Council, Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter and Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Kentucky. He isa member of the Christian Church and prominent in all matters connected therewith. F orabout twenty years he has been superintendent of the Sunday School. In 1884. Mr. Fisk delivered a Masonic address on St. Johns Day in the College Campus, by invitation of the Masons of Oxford and Vicinity. In 1890 he delivered the address to the Alumni of Miami. He has filled two terms as President of the Miami University Association. , mm!

Subject, Fdrestryf 4 A EDREAM OF LOVE HEN youth is bright and joyous And sorrows are unknown ;- When pleasure is our goddess And we worship at the throne ; There often comes a feeling Which we can not explain, Which is not exactly happiness And not akin to pain. - A feeling and a longing For something to be near, Which we can fondly cherish And regard as something dear. We know not what to call it, But hark ! from up above We gently hear the answer, HThat feeling is sweet love? Oh, love. ! thou great enchanter, Thou conqueror of manis heart, Whose messenger was Cupid, Whose weapon is his dart, How often hast thou entered In the joyous heart of youth, And in that secret precinct, Revealed a sacred truth? Yes, we have felt thy presence, And know thy cunning art, And realize thy longing To win each yielding heart ; For when thou once hast conquered, The truth which thou reveals Is like a charming melody, Which youth with rapture feels. 48-.- When first I knew the meaning Of this feeling queer and strong, Which I had ofti experienced, But kept from every one, I was a college student, And as some students are, I felt I was the happiest Of any, near or far. Ah, well do I remember That lovely day in spring, When nature was instillin g New life in everything. iTwas on our beauteous campus, A11 clothed in verdure green, I sought a nook refreshing, By casual eyes unseen. There ineath a plenteous shade, With Ovid and my Greek, I thought to gain some classic lore, And with the Ancients speak ; But there were other mortals, Than these of 1011 g ago, And why I fell to musing, I scarcely care or know. But as I lay there musing In the silence all alone, I heard a gentle foot-step, A low and murmuring tone. And turning on my grassy couch, A vision met my eyes, Which I had not suspected, And gave me great surprise. A maiden fair, with golden hair, And face of brightest hue, A smile divine, and form sublime, And eyes of dreamy blue. Was she a nymph from yonder wood. A spirit from above, Or just a maiden come to me, i A symbol of pure love? But then, I know not why, Our eyes, at length; they met; What in those liquid orbs I read, No mortal could forget. It seemed to me my very soul To her was being drawn; And as she softly whispered tiComeQ My heart replied, itLead 0113i , I found myself close by her side, To her I thought to speak; And bending low I felt her breath, Grow warm upon my cheek. Ah, who is he, at such a time, Who madly wquld make haste? N ot I ! But as she drooped her dreaming eyes, My arm stole round her waist. ,. O, spirit great! 0, mighty power! 0, bliss and pleasure sweet! O,ijoys that neier before were mine 1 O, happiness complete I Her supple form I drew more close, Her throbbing heart could feel, And as she rested on my breast, A kiss I thought to steal. So bending oier her placid face, Where rarest beauty dwelt, . Her ruby lips I touched with mine, And sweetest rapture felt. But hark ! A sound disturbs this bliss, The Chapel bell it seemed, A Ah yes, I remember now, I simply had, a a just dreamed. RECER'T ADDITIONS TO LIBRARY . . ,7!

I PLUTO WINS THE UNKNOWN PROVES NO MATCH FOR THE OLD GLADIATOR IFOUR DESPERATE ROIJNDS GENERALSHIP ANID SCIENCE TOO MUCH FOR ME-RE PHYS: ICAL COURAGE REPORT BY ROUNDS LL OF OXFORUS felines who were in the least sportively inclined, met by pre- arrangement on the second floor of the North Dormitory of Miami University to witness a finish clawing match between Bonnie Bros. Best Pluto, an old gladiator who bears the scars of many battles, and an- unknown supposed to be the joint property of Good and Teeter, the world-famed torpedo slingers. ,-9I- The affair was kept a secret and the police never got the tip until the battle was nearly over. Pluto was seconded by that well-known old rounder, Whiskers, while the unknowns interests were well cared for by Fowler, who has gained some celebrity as a songster. Sunday was referee and Harmony and Overtone ofheiated as bottle- holders, while Mezzotint was time-keeper. The purse was four choice flSh heads, and a collection taken up among the spectators netted four bunches of large spring catnip, only one sprig of which had gone to seed. The spectators who were present were a tfchosen few? There were twenty-seyen of them, but they expresSed their approbation often, and in such a manner that one really would have believed there were more present. . It was an appreciative audience and no good point failed of audible ap- preciation. The tact andring generalship of the supple Pluto, however, were too much for his less active, though equally plucky, opponent, and the unknowns seconds threw up the sponge in the fourth round. We submit a description by rounds: ROUND I. Pluto came up smiling and coniident, while the unknown showed some signs of nervousness. A companion of the com- batants showed that all appearances favored the former. This wily tactician acted purely on the defensive, and the first part of the round was consumed in light sparring for an opening . The unknown seemed to be unable to get near enough to his politic opponent to claw him in the least, and the spectators began to indulge in hisses and cat-calls, 'tthe latter predominatingl fearing that a tlfakei, battle was being perpetrated upon them. Pluto, however, soon caught the unknown off his guard and feigning with his right-fore at his opponents heart, he landed his left hind with terrible force on the unknowns jugular. A clinch followed in which honors were about evenly divided, and the round ended with both sparring warily. ' ROUND II. Pluto responded to the call of time with a purr of satisfaction, and the unknOwn snarled in a menacing manner. The unknown now forced the lighting. Pluto always retreating. The latter was forced into his corner, and being so unfortunate as to get his left hind caught in the ropes, the unknown took advantage of ' the situation and very cleverly made a large indentation in his right ear with his upper left secondary grinder. Pluto clinched, and when the round Closed looked badly demoralized; in fact to theinexperienced eye, thoroughly incapacitated for further strife, His left hind was badly wrenched, and intrepid as he is known tr be, he could not restrain occasional audible moans. ROUND III. Pluto was now the aggressor. As soon as time Was called he launched himself upon the unknown in one of those terrific rushes which have won him so many battles. The latter, being unable to withstancl the terrible onslaughts of Plutois right front and under primary grinders, was forced to fall to avoid punish- ment. He arose at eight seconds, and Pluto immediately caught his right ear between his upper right primary and lower left secondary grinders, and clawed steadily with his right hind and left fore 0n the breast-works and paunch of the unknown. The latter strove to counter with his left fore, but the irresistible strength of Pluto rendered his efforts unavailing. Just as the round Closed some excitement was eaused by a spectator attempt- ing to slide down the banisters with one of , the iish-heads, but he was detected and slain. Some noise accompanied this latter proceeding and fears of police interference were entertained. ROUND IV. This round was short and decisive. The unknown was seized with palpitation 0f the heart at the appearance of his mate, who appeared among the spectators, bearing a look of haughty disdain upon her countenance. This probably hastened, but did not change the result. Pluto caught the 'unknOWIi heavily on the left optic, and before he could recover, greatly lacerated his left ear. The unknown staggered, and his seconds at this point threw up the sponge. N. BePluto is open to all comers, but it is understood that the inhabitants of the North Dorm have expressed a desire that the battles which may be arranged from now on take place elsewhere. G. H. V. B.

The buildings and the Campus Where many feet have pressed, Of lawyers, teachers, statesmen, And clergymen the best. And on that dear old Campus Will be remembered long, The Windlass and the bucket ; tBut they alas ! are gonei. The ivy covered Lab ; That old and rustic seems, The Dorm wherein were fostered Bold pranks and daring schemes. The spreading trees and shady nooks, And peaceful quiet walks, i Where idle hours were often spent In long and friendly talks, Which sometimes were concerning Elections near at hand, And every man was planning Success for his own clan. The class-room and societies Each had their separate charms, Except examinations We met llzem with alarm. And then the Greek fraternities We never can forget ; Their bright associations Are lingerin g with us yet. And then another object Within our minds will dwell, And joyfully weill listen To the dear old chapel bell. It called us to the class-room, It freed us from our cares, It rang the-hour of worship, The time for chapel prayers. And then I can,t forget The College and the Sem., For what would 01d Miami be If it were not for them? We met their charming students In parlor and in hall, Or, perchance, with chaperon, We saw them at foot ball, Sometimes they spent vacation Not very far away, And then we called upon them, Or saw them every day. And many were the ties Of affection and, What not ? And many were the But I guess I better not. Ah, many are the fancies Which to my mind appear As I recall the fates That once to me were dear. But long-ago we parted And left Miamiis hall; With brightest hopes and vigor We go where duty calls. Our college days are oier, They could not always last, And life is very' different From that forever past. And when Iim 01d and feeble, My hair is turned to gray, The memories of Miami Will never fade away, 222 22; 22 22222 222222ll 222222222222 2- 2 m 222 ' .22 22 ';2' 2222 . . 2 2 2 2 22222222222124.222'2 2 . . 2! :' 221,12'1122222232212 4,22,22lt22y22u222 222 M 22.. gt 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 WA 2 2 22222 '2'22222122221222'22I'JU22 2 ' '2 .22222222222222222 ' 2 2 2 2 2 22 2 . 2212.2 . 22221221222222.2222 2'222222122wmww2u2 2212 22212222.... 2 2 . .

A STUDENTS DREAMT Idwelt near the College iiHall With all ilDuBois,i by my side. In this iiTempleii of knowledge we dwelt, Where iiPoor boys all did abide. Our iiTemple was strong as any fort ; The iiKeysii were found in the door. From every storm we were all quite safe If ilHale in Torrenceii did pour. To amuse us we kept a tiParrot, Who was always blithe and gay, He always asked for a cracker, We had nit the heart to say nay. Our good iiButlersii were always ready To do their share of the tiWork, For past time theyid go and itTeetor And all of their duties shirk. Our crowd was as quiet as a iiLambX, . iiGood,, students all were we, Studying iiWebsterisii dictionary, And iiHustonis geography. . We often get out our new buggy, And to it iiHitchii a line horse, But liShaw,i we get tired of this pleasure, For riding is only a farce. . We derived a great deal more pleasure With our renowned iiPharesi, wheel ; tiGood tiScottii we rode and rode so much Till our heads began to reel. -Ioo-- DREAM ! I saw Coxey,s Commonweal start out For their annual thalker round. . What do tiEicher if the tiMarshall comes, were able to stand our ground. . Our course was directed to the Sem By our leader iiMartindell, Whose orders were, tigo liEastmanl, go East. For thereis where pretty girls dwell. But vainly the iiFowler,s,i eyes so bright Were gazing steadily iiWest. For the iiFloweri, that grows in. the liGordon, iiMooreii lovely than the rest. If this young man will only JCourtright He,ll lead a happy life, If the iiWeatherbyii line he will take A tour with his loving wife. But at last these Mystic iiShrinersii With light and uEariyl hearts Thought theyid better turn their course homeward, And the commonweal departs. iiSed damnatio quid confert. iiTranslate,i the professor said, And in a very reluctant way, The bright m student raised his head. He rubbed his eyes, and then looked around For his liTemple near College liHall, And iiDuBois,i was seated by his side, ,Twas only a dream after all. ' STORMING OF THE BASTILE THE MARCH OF COXEYTS ARMY- TO rFI-IE BrLACKf HE ARMY was mustered in at the Chapel at IO dclock p. m., and Martindell Coxey addressed it in a feeling manner. After he had linished, the army sat down to an abundant meal of Cigars and lemonade. Miss Nell Earhart, who is an ardent devotee of photography, and who has done so much to place it in its present elevated position as a modernized science, then proceeded to unfurl her vest pocket camera and take a picture of the army. The army was offtcered as follows: C0772ma7zder-i7z- C lzz'ef Peace Maker GENERAL MARTINDELL COXEY, - - MRs. VAN BUREN COXEY, - - . - - MAJOR RORY MOORE UNKNOWN,' - - - - Steward CAPT. CARL MCLINN BROWNE, - - - - Marshal! MARC PFAU GALVIN, D. D., - - CVZz'cf 0f Hb50 Division h The line of march was formed and the army proceeded immediately to the Bastile which it stormed in an appropriate manner. Some delay was necessary to give the requisite stimulus to Mrs. Coxey,s mule, but through the aid of several gross of cannon-crackers this blooded beast was flnally made to realize t the responsibility of his position. After leaving the Bastile the army made a bee line for the Black Hole, whose inhabitants were apprised of its coming by its shouts of joy and gladness. Here much red fire was consumed, being necessitated by theh extreme darkness. General Martindell Coxey was asked to address the prisoners, but either superhuous modesty or general debility overcame his customary loquacity. The army remained here for many moons and gave vent to its pent-up feelings in various ways, and after it was judged by the leaders that its purpose had been sufficiently, plainly demonstrated, it resumed its march to Washington. ,VARSIrFY CH U RCHYARD TUART HUSTON lies ineathfthisfiipale slab, . . . . .
