' 9 . Editorial ]preface. Joking decides great things, Stronglier and better oft, than earnest can. Milto7i Trans, of Horace Satire I. E BELIEVE that it was the author of The Poet at the Breakfast Table who said, that The foolishest book is a kind of leaky boat on a sea of wisdom ; some of the wis- dom will get in anyhow. We trust that the little boat which the Class of ' 92 launches to-day will not be pronounced entirely wisdom proof. The members of the editorial staff who have been instru- mental in setting it afloat bespeak for it a kindly reception, and trust that the winds of heaven may not visit its course too roughly, but that the gentlest of zephyrs may swell the bosom of its sails. We have not thought of attempting to emulate the work of the bril- liant corps of editors who have immortalized themselves in previous numbers of The Halcyon. We have aimed only to perform, to the best of our ability, the duty which a generous class devolved upon us. If we have fairly well succeeded, the glory in a great measure attaches to our electors. If we have failed, they, too, must bear a part of the igno- miny of failure. How pleasant to have the responsibility so largely diffused ? A very reasonable excuse for the many imperfections in the little book we are about to cast upon the waters, is that it has been the work of 18 spare moments hastily snatched from busy college life, and lias not had the advantages that arise from continuity f)f thought and oi)]jortiiiiity for uninterrupted effort. It may be said that one mission of The Halcyon is to jest, but not to jest in a way that leaves a sharp sting behind it. To do so, is both cruel and unmanly. Fate never wounds more deep the generous heart, Than when a blockhead ' s insult points the dart. We trust that the victims of our harmless jests may bear in mind one of the wise sayings of old Plautus: Si quid dictum est per jocum Non £equum est id serio provortier. As we place our little work — the result of some spare moments of col- lege life — before our Class and in the archives of our Alma Mater, we feel both a sense of pleasure and of pain ; pleasure, that the work devolved upon us is performed ; pain, that we are brought to a severance of our relations with an agreeable companion. 19 If t.l]i§ book lacks aught in wit or serjse, ©r jokes appear a trifle den§e ; ' Twas r)ot for lack of dood intents, ©f searchjigg earrjestly to firjd Sorrjewhat to suit each rea der ' s rrjind.

N their selection to perform the somewhat arduous duties with which the publication of the Halcyon is necessarily attended, your chroniclers feel especially favored in hav- ing for their theme, a period of such remarkable brightness and prosperity. But little more than a year has elapsed since that memorable meeting of our Board of Managers, in which it was decided to relegate the pre- paratory school to the past, and vouchsafe a new era to our Alma Mater. Other concessions consistent with this broad and far-sighted policy accom- panied it, and drew from the mouths of Swarthmore ' s friends, alumni, ex-members and under-graduates, expressions of the most sincere appro- bation. The present year has witnessed the happy fulfilment of the highest hopes and beliefs of our sagacious directors. A spirit of renewed interest seems to preside over us, whether in the class-room or on the campus. With all confidence we ascribe this improvement to the increased liber- ality which has characterized the actions of our managers and faculty. Of the latter body, our thanks are especially due to President William Hyde Appleton, who, at the sacrifice of all personal interests, has governed the college with dignity and firmness and yet with a moderation which has endeared him to the heart of every student. Of the election of William Dudley Foulke to the presidency, the great affliction which overtook him on the eve of his inauguration, and his subsequent decision to withdraw his acceptance, for a time, at least, our readers are already familiar. We trust and only echo the sentiments of the whole student body that at no very distant date, he will feel justified in assuming the duties of the office which was so unanimously tendered to him.

C I MAGINATION, called upon to personalize our Seniors, retires dismayed at the enormity of the undertaking. To tell what they are, and to express in a few words what they have been and may be, is beyond the power of even that usuallv most potent resistant of Halcyon chroniclers. The}- have done everv- thing from giving receptions on short rations to exhibiting to the College an ideal (as far as they were able) of childlike simplicity in behavior and in manner. But we must be charitable toward them as we would to all the old and infirm who live to the period of a second childhood. ' 9 Hard and unfeeling, indeed, must be the man who could find it in him to criticize the infirmities of the aged. As their boat is pushed from the light of our shore into the world of waters dark and deep, the cry of The King is dead ; long live the king, welcomes their successors. And the frequent blunders and sad mistakes with which they have bestrewn their trail shall serve to teach added perfectness to those who wave them from the shore. ' 91 can only weakly bewail the impotence of age, as his blear and hardly open eyes descry his sturdy successor complacently stepping unto the throne, his fingers clasping the sceptre caught from the weakening grasp and thrust into hands which were constantly becoming hardened in preparation for wielding the power therein involved. ' 91, the horn whose blowing you so derided last year, was but the heraldic announcement that your victor was entering the lists against you. Yet a few days and we step into your place ; Ave, the once despised, shall sit in your seats, sway the rod of empire, and do what you left undone. 30 r iors. EMILY ATKINSON, SAMUELS.

In 1492 Christopher Cohimbus discovered the New World, but little did he dream that this momentous event would be celebrated in so fitting a manner as by the graduation, of our class from Swarthmore after a very eventful and prosperous course. Yes, ' 91, we, too, feel that it is not worth while nor exactly proper to be sounding one ' s own trumpet, without having a reason for so doing; yet from our successes and our qualifications we feel justified in more than a mere mention of our date of graduation. When, as Freshies, ' 91 presented us with canes, we were first convinced that they considered us their peers. But was it not because we took from them, at a hazardous risk, their support ? What we have done in Athletics was simply what we could. We have fulfilled our duty in supplying from our ranks worthy foot-ball and base- ball players, who have h elped gain many a College victory. In oratory, elocution, music and art, we have endeavored to hold our place. Of our Dickens Evening, the winning of the Magill Prizes, and the organization of the first and only class Glee Club, we will say nothing. Our successes will speak for themselves. These, and not the athletic track, we have realized, are the fields in which we are destined to labor; and with the dauntless courage of the discoverer, have striven to do our duty, and have met difficulties as numerous and great as ever obstructed the path of Columbus. Our love of art is shown by the masterly way in which our boys removed that unsightly blot, ' 93 ' s backstop, from the West Campus. We pride ourselves on the originality of our girls. If they have been undignified or irregular. it was in an original way. If they have had undertakings, they were original ones : the entertainments which they gave were the first and only ones given at Swarthmore by the girls of our class. In all the College there has been no class that has worked in such unison as that of ' 92. To be sure, the natural independence of our mem- bers has caused some disagreement, but we always became reconciled, and work together for our class. We have been destined for defeats as well as for victories. But with the persistance of Columbus, we have striven to do our best, and have learned to submit to reverses with patience, and, though always elated by our successes, have endeavored to bear them with modesty and discretion.

Motto : — Tii ' iv(p Ttavra. Colors: — Old Gold and Garnet. Yell : — Ray ! Ray ! Ray ! Hullabaloo, bala, bailee ! . C, ' gj r UR dearly beloved ' 93 ! How can we sound your praises suffi- ciently ? Though you ha e been under the nurture and care of your Ali ia Mater for little more than a year, you have diligently put forth your efforts and blossomed into one har- monious whole. Such brilliancy you display in all directions ! Who can fail to recall the great mark you made in oratory ? How all your members were so eager to write for the Magill Prizes, that the judges were over- whelmed when your six were to be selected. Not only in oratorical ability, but in all lines of study, have you displayed your zeal and genius. There was a time when we feared lest a certain action of yours would convey to passers-by somewhat the impression that this was a harbor for 37 car-conductors. Your handsome caps are still occasionally to be seen, but you have now, we are happy to say, become wiser, and have ceased to make them disagreeably conspicuous. And then in athletics. What wonderful feats you have accomplished ! There is yet ringing in the ears of the students the echo of the howls and expressions of self-applause, given vent to by you, after your greatest vic- tory — in the tug-of-war. Where was your giant strength this year? In foot-ball was there ever a class who won so many victories ? Had a class of Swarthmore ever before distinguished itself by visiting all the children ' s schools in the neighborhood, in order to train them in the ins and outs of the foot-ball field ? There is yet one fact which ought not to be overlooked. That is the improvements you have introduced into your constitution, surpassing all known parliamentary laws. By your method, as is well known, if one of your fifty members should receive but five votes, and no other member was more fortunate, you would declare him justly elected to the office, and straightway proceed to have him sworn. Aside from the great amount of time thus saved, you have won a world-wide reputation from this grand innovation. Now we understand how a class of such unwonted wisdom and originality can with difficulty realize its need for any advice, yet we have the greatest fear and anxiety for such precocious infants, and will caution you with this ancient proverb : Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. 38 MARTHA C.

' JE are glad to announce to the public that the Class of ' 94, after a long and perilous journey, has at last arrived, and has been for the past year a College class. We saw them as they marched slowly up the asphaltum, on the twelfth of September, and knew they were Freshmen, because all alike were robed in new clothing, which still held the creases of newness. Each, as he gazed about him, wondered if he looked as green as his class-mate. 41 For a whole month these youths and maidens brushed their hair before every recitation, and appeared as neat as a pin ; but these peculiarities soon wore off, and it was but a short time before the Freshies were scarcely distinguishable among the other College classes. Now we congratulate you, ' 94, upon having entered the College, where you will undoubtedly be an honorable class, worthy of the position you hold. It remains for you to show your appreciation of this honor. We have but a few words to say to you, and we would have you weigh them well. They are : Do something. Let people know you ca7i do something when the time comes. You made a good beginning last year by winning the base-ball cup ; now keep it. Work hard, both boys and girls, to give yourselves as a class a good reputation. You showed us that there is a class of ' 94 ; now show us what it is made of, by doing something. We recognize ability in you, and would have it put to some advantage. Your plan for swearing in Class Day officers is certainly an excellent one, since it secures conscientious and thorough work on the part of the prophetess and historian. Perhaps it may act as a suggestion to the other College classes, and may soon be generally adopted. We have not forgot- ten, too, that you did try hard to do something on a certain First-day morning, when, with canes in hand, you met the Sophs, down the asphal- tum, and we realize that there might have been something done, had you not suddenly changed your minds and marched quietly back to the College. The next morning, when a small, insignificant black banner waved from the top of our college buildings, we knew ' 94 was trying bravely to make itself seen. But, my friends, this is the extent of your exertions and your attainments ; this is where your work ceased. What a noble work to leave the world as your monument ! 42 shipai MABEL ALEXANDER, FRANK C. ANDREWS, EMILY Q. ATKINSON. CHARLES A. BALLINGER, K. 2., CAROLINE C. BIDDLE, EDWIN P. BOND, .

EDITOR:— We felt greatly honored when we received your kind note, saying that we might be represented in your pretty book. And we will now send you a short account of our experiences here. We had been here but a short time, when we learned that a class could never get along at college without having some particular color to wear, and also a motto, which we might always have to guide our actions. There was at first much quarrelling about these matters, and each one wanted his own way, but as we are all naturally very friendly we presently quieted down. We had the most trouble with our motto, for there were 45 two given us — one in Greek and one in Latin — from which to select ; but we decided that, since we could not pronounce the Greek, we would take this one : Corisilio et Animo. A Senior has since translated this for us, and we now feel that we made quite a wise choice. Early in the year, when we were included on the College Reception Committee, we did feel so proud, but wouldn ' t you if you had been the first class below the College which had ever been allowed even to attend a reception ? Later on we had great trouble with our elections ; we could not make them go as we wanted at all. But we hope that before we have been here long we may learn how to manage all such things. This is all we can remember. We have, of course, not yet been able to do very much which deserves notice. But we think that by observing the manners and habits of our elders, and by following the many good exam- ples which are set before us, we may by another year be able to begin college life in earnest. Good-bye now, and thanking you very much, we remain, Affectionately your friends, The Subs. 46 Ub-( ()IIc )iates. MARY W. BACON, ELIZABETH M. BAILY, CLARA BEARDSLEY, LLOYD R. BLYNN, CORA A.

With your great wealth of knowledge You would fain run our College ; Still we ' re sorry your parting ' s so near. Our Junior Class makes a pretense To merely good work and good sense. But just casually, you know, While through College they go. They have fun in proportions immense. Many-sided, gay, wild Ninety-three, There ' s a deal good and ill, both in thee ; Thee ' s not quite left thy toys And is given to noise While thy factions sometimes disagree. There ' s another young class at Swarthmore That walks not yet through the front door. It has not been here long But is noted in song, And much over books seems to pore. In the speech of the world — do not cry — Ninety-five, you are rather small fry. You ' re Swarthmore ' s youngest child And are still rather wild. But will grow sedate by-and-by. 50 . c MUSICAL.

In their proper places we will describe the work of the literary societies, but names of the minor societies are indicative of their work. The societies of the college present a varied field of operations. Various are their objects and wondrou s are their works. They are organ- ized that the individual mind may expand by contact with fellow beings. These are beneficial whether the object be the improvement of the mind, the body, musical talent or gastronomic powers. Each has its prominence and worth, which is left to the discretion of the reader. 54 oir erVille Jitcrary ociety Motto : — Suaviter in Modo, Fortiter in A ' e. Color : — PVhite. I HE SOMERVILLE was organized in 1S71, the same year with the Eunomian Literary Society ; and from its first rather feeble attempts, has grown to be a large and flourishing Society, and one much beloved by its members. The reunions held once a year, are occasions of great interest and merrymaking, and tend to draw many of the life-members of the Society back to the College. The last gathering was held on April nth. The object of the Society, to train our young women in debate, ora- tory, and the rules and workings of parliamentary bodies, and to give them a general culture and broader knowledge of the questions of the day, is being well fulfilled. 55 OFFICERS.

ACH succeeding Halcyon chronicles some new departure in athletics at Swarthmore, and rec(jrds the history of one year ' s attainments. Thus the facts presented in this vohnne extend over a space of time in which each branch of athletics has had full sway. The base ball nine and the track athletes and the tennis men all had their season; then came the time for foot ball. Its season ended, so a cycle is completed. There is no need of lauding our athletes; their work commends itself. Swarthmore enthusiasm, restrained by the careful oversight of a director, gave to us the Pennsylvania I. C. A. A. Cup and the championship of the State. Too much cannot be said in praise of those who won points toward that cup, but especial credit is due to Walter Roberts, ' 90, whose picture we are pleased to present to our readers. A glance at the page containing the record of the field meeting of the Penna. I. C. A. A., and also the one containing the record of our meeting on Whittierfield, shows that our athletes were in the class of ' 90. They are gone, but the enthusiasm and the director which won the cup last year, still remain. It lies within the power of our students to say what shall be the disposition of the cup at the next and at each succeeding meeting. Shall it remain at Swarthmore ? In tug-of-war, Swarthmore ' s stronghold, she has been particularly efficient during the past year. The College team won the state champion- ship at the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania I. C. A. A., and third place at the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, at New York, thus engraving Swarthmore ' s name on the Cup of the Association for the first time. The light-weight team won the championship of Philadelphia, and has the enviable record of never having lost a contest. 95 The present Halcyon year has seen the development of base ball to such an extent that Swarthmore has been able to put a creditable team in the field. Under the present management we look for still greater success during the coming year. A cup has been presented to the college by Mr. George W. Childs, and is known as the Childs Cup. This trophy has been valuable as a means of developing new men for the college team, and is to be competed for annually by teams from the various classes. Last year the championship and the cup were won by the Sub-Collegiate Class, ' 94. • • In football the lack of material has been more than counterbalanced by the thorough training and conscientious work of the men. This season has been the most successful in the history of the college. This success is largely due to the work of the college team, but we should also remember that much credit is due to those men who, day after day, without any hope of playing on the college team, came out and played on the reserves, that the first team might have practice. Without further remark on the teams, we refer the reader to the scores, with the reminder that Swarthmor.e is not a university and has no aspiration in that line. Probably the most important change has been in the instituting of an Alumni Advisory Committee. It is needless to say that this is a move in the right direction. Real success can only be reached by the co-operation of the alumni and students. If it be only the approval of the alumni, it has its good effects. Each year loses to us some who are distinguished for athletic ability. Their loss is always apparent, and this year it is especially noticeable. Each one should do his best, and thus by combined effort strengthen the breach made by those who have gone. The Halcyon has presented things as they are at present ; the future depends on the students. 96 ssociatioi . OFFICERS. President : EDWARD B. TEMPLE, ' 91. Vice-President : JOHN F. MURRAY, ' 92.

Ye muses look down from your mountain-top cold On your far-off Grecian shore, And, as you did for the poets of old. Give mortals your aid once more ! Erato, Thalia, Calliope, come ! For yours are the Arts we need. But to our dull ears your fine voices are dumb, Our prayers you nevermore heed. Once again the Halcyon days are here, And is heard the busy sound Of Juniors writing far and near. When they ' ve an idea found. Some spend the long day writing rhymes That have no obvious ends ; And others have the gayest times Finding sentiments for their friends. — Now, through merry labor our book is done, And Junior ninety-three, The next year ' s Halcyon work and fun In turn descends to thee. io8 WT Mt T ey S iy of ( fs . • -LL-N -TK-NS-N : If grief thy steps attend, If want or sickness be thy lot, And thou require a soothing friend ' Forget-me-not — forget-me-not. — Mrs. Opie.

Oor WAirERS- Novv one year has quickly passed Since was wriiteii by the poets, Of that class, called Ninety-one, That perhaps things might be altered, So that in the far-off future, The poor boys would be excused From that long and irksome task, Waiting on the dining table. We remember them, at -dinner. Running quickly, after bread. Going to the pump for water. But this now has all been altered, And the old familiar scenes That were then so entertaining, Have been changed by introducing In the feasting hall at S ' more, Some new features known as waiters. When at six we quickly gather. And the silent grace is ended Then the door is quickly opened And from out its open portals All these useful persons pour. They are all of different sizes. Some are short and some are tall, Some are thin and others stouter. Some move C|uickly, others more .so. More resembling iu their movement, That old creature called the t.nail. We can find among their numbers Some such famous ones as these : Jack and Charley, noted athletes. Famous on the foot-ball field, Mary, often called Sylph ; Old Aunt Rachel but none swifter And the relict of that hero. Famed McGinty do we find. They ' ve the virtue of variety, Yet in spite of all their faults We appreciate most fully Their strong worth and usefulness. And we thank our college rulers For the benefit bestowed, And we say gratefully, truly, Thanks for these, our useful waiters. 5 casters. A FARCE : FOUNDED ON FACT.

The room- mates discovered with their friends, in neglige costumes and attitudes on the two beds. Lights are out but some light shines in from the hall. Con- versation is becoming animated as to some disputed points in a foot ball game.] Young Professor ( facetiously, as he comes up the hall. ' ) Young men, skedaddle !

Continued scuffling.] Young Prof, ( entering, still facetious. ' ) Say boys, knock off for to- night, will you? [Fred shuts the door behind him, and leaves all in darkness. Young Prof, is afraid of pillows, and quickly retires to get matches.] George {to Ike) : Pull in your feet, he can see you. ' ' {to Savi) : Take in your tails,.

Accipe hoc, as der Latins say, an ' hoc (prods more vigorously.) Megarge {angrily, as he is bearing the brunt of the attack, and is thinkirtg of capitulating.) Hey, let up on that, a minute, will you? [Smothered laughter from the other bed. Some one seizes the cane and releases it suddenly, O. Prof, staggers against Y. Prof, and puts out the match.] O. Prof. Donner — r — r ! Ve moost haf zome light vich goes not out. Y. Prof, {still afraid.) Yes of course, lets go and get it. [Both go out. While they are gone, all but the Sub (who hasn ' t time to get out) come from under the beds and enter the closet.] Ike. {in the closet.) Oh, my ribs ! Sam. {J7i the closet.)

Pulls him out and holds him by the ear.] Y. Prof. It ' s you, is it? Sub. (after reflection.) Yes. Y. Prof, (tersely.) Git ! [Exit Sub., holding his ear. Racket is heard down the hall, Y. Prof. is compelled to go out and see to it.] O. Prof, {hearing a noise in the closet.) Zo ! in die closet, hey? Vie moost carry die war into Africa. {to Fred and George.) Die room vill be helt responsible, mein herrn. [Places the candle on the table, and goes to the closet. Fred manages to over-turn the candle and to abstract the matches. O. Prof, opens the door into the hall, and it now remains open. He tries the door of the closet but the knob is held on the inside.] O. Prof. Ha ! Zo? Veil, I haf no hurry. Dis is a zoft bett. [Enters Fred ' s bed, which is near by, at right angles to the door of the closet.] O. Prof, {pleased at the fix the boys are in now.) I dere are six in der closet, den ve vill make die seven sleepers, hey ? ' ' [Silence for twenty minutes. The atmosphere in the closet becomes close. O. Prof, drowses a little. Suddenly the door is burst open, a heavy overcoat is thrown over O. Prof. ' s head and shoulders and all rush past and escape into the hall. O. Prof, sets up and disentangles himself from the overcoat.] O. Prof, (who, after all, admires successful strategy.) Ho,, ho. Dot vas pretty well done. [Goes out.] Fked and George.

How those maiden hearts did flutter, On that memorable day. When across the ground they wore them When to Physics on the way. What a smile went round the Class, though. When Professor just made mention That he ' d have to buy a basket That would hold the new invention. And one maiden, loyal creature, Wished to wear her cap in Class, But the Prof, for sake of order Had to disappoint the lass. Well, Classes have tried hard, no doubt, To coin a thing more neat, But with our Classmates, we will say, None can with ours compete. 125 This is the College of Swarthmore, Built in this strange architecture, Round on the campus at random, Stand the murmuring maples and scrub-oaks, Ranged round old Parrish Hall Are buildings, some ancient and modern. From the college to the eastward, And the West House to the northward. Where many youths went yearning For the benefits of learning, Stood a building in the vim of early years. And the students when returning From this edifice of learning, Left their foo ' .steps brimming o ' er with tears. All the geometric angles Were explained with ease and fangles, And hyperboloids of revolution. For instruction without mirth, And with very little trouble She could draw eUipses double, And could strike without a fumble, Dizzy tangents to the earth. Within the tower, was a telescope of power For the purposes of viewing by the heroine of this lay Sun-spots showy, at the middle of the day. And at night when ethereal skies are bright, Searching in the dark recesses Of the ever watchful moon. 126 MKETim; HOUSE. As the Ijell upon the laundry, Without haste and without heed, Peals out peal on peal of thunder. So the student easily started, Hurries on with winged speed. Carefully first, his hair he brushes, Then his coat and hat he dusts. Then he quickly dons his bonnet, P or to hurry, ' deed he must. As he dashes out the college, In falling vapor, he ' s enveiled, But ' tis too late to retrace upward, So the storm he must inhale. But when settled on the benches, When the heat pervaded o ' er. All his dampened, withered system, He will not his ihouslits ignore. He looks at our I ' rex, so hanrlsome, See ' s our Dean ' s contented look, Wishes he sat in the gall ' ry With a Bible or some book. Thinks of home folks as they worship. In a handsome velvet pew, Thinks of sister in tlie choir, Wishes he were there, don t ycu ? And if ever he feels homesick, ' Tis when on these benches he sits down, On these hardened oaken benches, Then indeed he sleeps so sound. Soon awakened how he watches, With what longing eyes he ' s striven For that nod unto a senior, For that favorite bignal given. SCIENCE HALL. Over the eaves where the sunbeams fall, Twitters the swallow ; Within the shop, the anvil ' s call. Follow ! Oh follow ! When I enter the portal I see a small mortal, With a large moustache And glasses to match. He ' s dressed quite resplendent. He looks dire dependent As he leans on that post. I inquire his name And from whence he came. They reply that it ' s Guyer, That he makes the students pay higher For test- tubes and things that they break In the lab., than the retail rate. He fills the bottles, He dusts the lab., He oils the belting And uses his gab. I enter further and look to the left, Through the glass door, at the students bereft. I notice the Seniors, with their trusses and strains, I see the Juniors dra ' jving, with pains ; I look on the platform and. whom do I see But a professor, stately and belov ' d for his glee. I hear him speak, the students listen, Then loud they laugh, with laughter free At all his jokes, for many a joke had he. 127 Here in this building, in the eastern wing, Where you hear the beakers and bottles ring, And you see the Soph, stretch his long neck From the northeast window in search of a speck, Which as it draws nearer, seems to be None other than our sparse-haired Doctor D . Of the Juniors he asks of di-propargyl, Of many things whose odors will kill, Ofmethyl-di-ethyl-methane, Of normal butane and iso-hexane And on down the list till he comes to Secane, Where he stops with a smile. To the Sophs he tells of his own baby boy, Whose learning he ' s oft times been forced to declare Has exceeded any which he has seen there. PARRISH HALL. We have yet to tell the story Of our dear old Parrish Hall, Of our studies and dormitory Of our parlors and et. al. In the cellar called the basement, In the wings both east and west. Are the stages where our actors Do their acting all in jest. On the first floor are the parlors And the famous dining hall ; In the former ' s done the mating. In the latter ' s done the waiting. Here are also many class rooms. Where the Professors hold full sway, Here we learn of Greek and Latin and of mathematics tough, Here we struggle up and onward fight- ing on from day to day. Up the alcove stairs we loiter, And the study hall we view ; In this room we hear our lectures, Hear our Bible read all through, And we hear of rows and rackets Made in western halls, also. In our struggle up the stairway. We do reach the floor above ; Here are alcoves, large and roomy Where our couples talk of 1 — e. Higher still and higher Do our footsteps rise Until we reach the museum Where the noble feline dies. From off this seat exalted As we gaze around, We see the places where we ' ve sported. College, campus, and athletic grounds. And as we see each walk and tree and hill, We are with sweet remembrance filled. And may we ever look to these As the wardens of our destines. 128 WHERE WE HAVE BEEN. oUrt of Oy d X nr ii er ar d (jx eral TailxJeliVery OF THE WEST WING Convenes at Old Nick ' s Room, Third Floor, on the first First-Day after the second Second-Day in each month. Presiding Jtidge : Hon. EDDIE MACKLEOYSTER, Late Judge of Supreme Court of Colorado. Associate Jti-dges : Hon. Fourth Prismatic Color. Hon. Co-ed Jay, of W — ford. District Attorney : . Hon. Charles Bucephas. Court Crier, Old Nick. Tipstaff, . . . . . . Kanuck Wilson. Sheriff, B. Stump Haley. County Clerk, . . . . . . Wise Eddard. Report of Procekdings : At the last convening of said Court, the following cases were brought up and disposed of: The case of Jasen, alias Fog Horn. The prisoner was found to be in a state of inter- mittent, almost chronic, lunacy, and the Court found it necessary to issue a permit to admit the prisoner to Norristown. At times, during the proceedings, the prisoner became rather violent and would have made an assault upon District Attorney Bucephas, for whom he appears to have a special hatred. Our honored Attorney is an active member of the Farmers ' Alliance, which it appears was the prime cause, during the late presidential election, of defeating Mr. Jasen for that office. Second case ; that of John Son, alias Hutch. Prisoner was called to answer a charge of undue assumption of power. In the evidence it was brought out that the prisoner had aspired to the Presidency of a certain College. The prisoner was acquitted, but cautioned not to repeat offense. Third. Case of Walter, alias Lansdowne Bill. Charged with forcible entry into a Shoemaker ' s shop in the village of Lansdowne. Prisoner convicted and sentenced to a life term of service under m-tr-m-n-1 bonds. Case of Henry Huddy. Prisoner thought to be insane. In the evidence it was brought out that the prisoner had lately been seen studying calculus and working at other studies at various times. No absolute evidence of insanity being given, the case was dis- missed, but a guardian was appointed.

In the mid-year elections in the Sub-Collegiate Class, Lloyd Ross Blynn was elected to the presidency. This position is one of great responsibility, and coming as it did, so unlocked for, is a fitting tribute to Mr. BIynn ' s ability. — L. R. B., in Baltimore American. At the recent meeting of the Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association of America, Mr- John William Hutchinson, delegate from Swarthmore ran a close race for the position of Vice-President, and was only defeated by a few votes. Mr. H. is Track jSIanager at Swarthmore, and, notwithstanding his numerous duties in this department, is an industri- ous, hard-working student. — J. W. H., in New York Tribune. William C. Sproul, well known among Pennsylvania collegians, will be one of the honor speakers at the Commencement in June. This speaks very well for the gentleman, since his public duties and private business almost preclude the chance of any attention to the studies of the class-room. — W. C. S., in Philadelphia Press. 135 I. At old Swaithmore, some years ago, There was a custom, we all know, To go a-skating. Old Crum would freeze, By the cold breeze. Sent by old Boreas. ir. But in later years. The times one hears. So often mentioned. That ice so white, So smooth and bright. Was always lacking 136 IIF. Until the last, The one just passed, There ' s been no skating. But on came the ice That would suffice So much gyrating. IV. The ice is safe, ' Tis strong and true The men report, Then off they go. Singly, two by two, Down to old Crum. V. The skates so neat. Upon small feet, Are quickly placed. Then off they glide, Oft side by side. To their enjoyment. VI. In position sure. From on the shore. We ' ll see the fun. And view the scenes. The ways and means, While they are skating. 137 UMSTEIGEN. Now all are gliding back and fotth, In groups of three or four ; Much grace and beauty do we see Upon the grand ice floor. II. Here four are rolling up and down ; While there a maid is trying To rise alone and swiftly go, But only ends in sighing. Ill, Now backwards do the Seniors skate. And all the Subs are falling ; The ways those Sophs co- educate Is truly quite appalling. IV. Up hither comes a jolly line, All seeming mad with laughter, When suddenly one falls and slides. Then all come tumbling after. UMSTEIGEN. Far beyond the throng of skaters, ' Neath the pines o ' er-hanging branches, Are two figures swift advancing Now more slowly are they gliding. And as they are coming near me I can hear their gentle murmur, I ' ve been waiting all the evening. For a chance when I might see thee, Says the youth unto the maiden. Then her heart besiins to flutter As he says in faltering accents That she mustn ' t disappoint him For he can ' t live thro ' to-morrow If she doesn ' t treat him kindly. Shadows all around are falling. And the bell doth toll for parting. Then he summons all his courage After no slight hesitation. Comes this great and mighty question : Will you do my mathematics? ' 139 UMSTEIGEN. Now we see him, C. Bucephus, M. LeB. some others call him, Greatest skater from among them. Greatest, in the sense of size. See him coming, on he rushes. His small feet scarce touch the ice. Scarce touch the flinty, shining surface, As he panting, rushing, roaring. Passes quickly up the stream. Then a Bertie, one of many. One from out the happy throng. One that skated with all grace. She is smiling, always smiling, Always laughing, talking, joking. She is also swiftly skating, Sliding on the glassy surface. On comes rushing, whirling, working Down the stream she quickly comes. 140 ' I ' licn llicy meet and init;lity contact Of sucli lioflies striking there — Striking- there with all their fierceness, Striking there with all momentum. It doth seem to shake the nation, It cloth seem to jar the heavens. So that when the conflict ' s over, Stars are seen upon the ice. Then each strove with all their might, All the strength at their command. To retain the old position That all other skaters have, That of perpendicularity. But tlu; shock of that on-coming. But the force with which tliey met, Is too much for mortal steadiness And down tiiey fall upon the ice. Fall upon its glassy surface — Fall upon each other ' s self. And the battle, mighty battle, Battle of the grosser weights — Battle that will e ' er be remembered- Now is over and the ijuiet. Peace and quiet of old Crum, Never, will again be broken By the violence of such scenes. c- - ' !■■■ 141 m of ' 92. TUNE- SOLOMON LEVI. ' I.

THE almost universal adulteration of spices is well known to those who have given the subject any attention. Notwithstanding a package may be nicely put up, and labeled Pure, or even Warranted Pure, it is deplorably true, that an examination of the contents, in many cases, has revealed the presence of a cheapening ingredient, or, that the spice has been ground from an inferior crude material. We give to our FLAVORING EXTRACTS the same careful attention. Vanilla we prepare from the best quality of Mexican Bean, by a process of our own, which gives us the perfect aroma of the bean in all its delightful freshness, richness and purity. This statement will be verified by all who have used our Extract. We ask those who have not done so, to give our Extracts a trial. These Extracts are offered in bottles containing two and four ounces, half pints, pints and quarts. If your Druggist or Grocer cannot supply our Spices or Extracts send your orders direct to us, Robert Shoemaker 8z: Co., N. E. Cor.
