The Class of '93, with its i' 'java 'A characteristic energy, has decided to relegate the reticence of past years to the realms of oblivion, and is thus responsible for this innovation. Yet, to prepare the present book, with no precedent in the history of our college, has proved no slight undertaking, and 'tis 'with a consciousness of many imperfections that we submit our work to the public. We claim for it no superior excellence in literary merit, as its contributions were necessarily from sources both many and varied. In subject matter we have aimed to give only those items of prime importance and interest, omitting all minor details. In succeeding years the contents of the Annual may be much changed, but in this, its first appearance, certain departments, relevant only to an initial number have bee11 admitted. We wish, also, to acknowledge the kind assistance of all those who have aided us in the preparation of this work. To Dr. Reese, we are deeply indebted for his sketch of our College, to many of our fellow students, for class articles and sym- pathyfg and to our Poetics Professor, for having so instilled into our youthful minds a spirit of poetical genius and fervor, that verse has become our easiest and almost our natural mode of expression. To all others who have assisted us, either directly or indirectly, the staff wishes to express its hearty appreciation of their kindness. And, finally, we would say that false dignity has no place within the lids of this book. And probably some of the more sensitive of those who have furnished the humorist with subjects for sketches, may feel that they have been too mercilessly satirized. To all such we wish to say, that no spirit of malice has prompted us in the preparation of sketches, either in word or caricature, and hope that all will be received in the same spirit as given-satire without sting, humor without ridicule. And to each one We may soothingly say, Think not that thou standest alone, there is to every one of thee a companion in misery,,well fitted to offer sympathy and con- solation. ready to grasp thy hand in the corners and dark places, and swear eternal alliance for mutual revenge. In conclusion, the Editor-in-Chief has just come from the Gymnasium, where he has been toying with So-lb. dumb-bells during the long Winter months, and to him, in the Sancta Sanctorum, thou mayest conhdently apply for all redress for fancied injury.

NVESTERN MARYLAND COLLEGE esrenn nnvisnnn Qouaeee. A SKETCH. Ex arvis sae e ina naruin inoinenta rernin Jendcntf'-L1'zf f. l J the afternoon of Thursday, September 6th, 1866, the Master of Door-to-Virtue Lodge of Freemasons, assisted by his wardens, and surrounded by seventy live 5' V, of his brethren, laid the corner-stone of a building which, when Hnished, was X554 to be known as XVestern Maryland College. The crowd of citizens who were present had come together not merely to witness a novel ceremony and to listen to speeches, but to testify, by their presence, the interest felt in the inauguration of a great and beneticent enterprise. The hopes of the participants and spectators already high were lifted higher still by the breath of oratory. Prophecies of great things to come, of great works to be achieved, found ready credence, and Vfestminster already saw itself, as in a kind of beatific vision, the home of learning and the nursery of scholars. The very scene by its beauty, perhaps still more by its associations, lent encouragement to the most optimistic views Certainly the site chosen for the new college was one of unsurpassed loveliness. Itself one of the everlasting hills, lifted high above a surrounding country of rare beauty and fertility, with little Westminster nestling at its feet, while the majestic Blue Ridge loomed on the western horizon and freely gave its invigorating breezes, a spot retired yet accessible. it seemed the ideal location for a school. Then, too, the ground on which the corner-stone was laid possessed associations which seemed almost prophetic of the uses to which it was henceforth destined The old common at the west-end, the play-ground of the village children, the favorite resort of young men and maidens in search of the pictur- esque,-what more appropriate place could be selected as a scholastic home for youth? But the old common had been more than a play-ground. Here political meetings were 'wont to be held and the great questions ofifree-trade, protective tariff, internal improvements to be discussed for the enlightenment or confusion of citizens eager to learn their duties and their rights, here, annually, on Independence Day, the grove was vocal with patriotic oratory and music, while the struggles of the Republic were recounted and its future painted in glowing colors'-surely an educational work all this, even if intermittent and largely futile. Did not the ceremony of this sunny September day, twenty-seven years ago, seem to dedicate the hill, most fittingly, to the continuance, in a settled, solid way, of the work of training young people of botl1 sexes, in college walls, for the duties of citizenship which lay before them? ' . 2 5 The walls did rise, and in one year from the laying of the corner-stone, the college was opened and its first session began. But early in the following year, 1868, it became evident that, inancially, the walls had no corner-stone, or other foundation, and that the whole enterprise was a ghastly failure. And in fact a failure it was fore-doomed to be, because it was the visionary undertaking of a misguided man on his sole responsibility, a man without collegiate training, and so ignorant of that with which he ambitiously grappled as not even to know that the building and the main- tenance of a college as a merely individual enterprise had never been accomplished, that it was, in fact, an impossibility. And yet, strange to say, the blunder of Fayette R. Buell was the origin of Western Maryland College. A teacher from the state of New York, he was conducting, with fair success, an academy or high-school in VVest- ininster, when the wild idea of founding a college took possession of him. He had no money, he knew nothing about colleges, but he was full of energy, Bred with zeal, and he had made influential friends. Through the good ofhces of these, he secured from the Maryland Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, in March, 1866, a recommendation of Mr. Buell and his projected college to the patronage of their people, Meanwhile, neither Mr. Buell nor anybody else knew where money enough to buy a perch of stone or a cart-load of sand was to come from, and YVestern Maryland College seemed fated to be only a paper college and never an architectural or other reality. There was a Board of Directors, it is true, of Mr. Buell's selection, but there was nothing to direct, and most likely there never would have been any- thing to direct, if no such person as james Thomas NVard had existed. But because he was, Western Maryland College is. Two friends of Dr. Wardis, bound to him by ties of love and admiration, john Smith, of XVakelield, and Isaac C. Baile, both citi- Zens of Westiiiiiister, offered to lend Mr. Buell ten thousand dollars to start his college with, on the condition that Dr. Ward should be at its head. This proposition was accepted, the work was begun, and, as we have seen, the corner-stone was duly laid. But, as we have also seen, it became evident, early in 1868, to Mr. Buell and all concerned, that the individual-enterpriseH plan of starting and conducting a college was a failure, and that unless some other plan could be devised and successfully substituted the work would have to be abandoned. The hnancial status of the college at the close of its first session, February 27th, 1868, when Mr. Buell called his Board of Directors together for consultation is described by President Lewis in his hfzkfoifzkzzl Sketch as indeed a pitiable one. H The building, he says, Wwas still unfinished, all the money had been spent, all the interest on the loan was unpaid, and the prop- erty was covered by mechanics' liens for nearly as much as had been borrowed in the hrst place. This was the situation Eeported to the Maryland Conference at its session in March, 1868. Although in no sense responsible for the disaster, the Conference had been nominally connected with it and determined to prevent utter failure if possible. The Conference, therefore, appointed thirty-three men to become incorporated by the Legislature of Maryland as a Board of Trustees. They were authorized to purchase the property of Mr. Buell for an amount equal to what had been spent and was still due on it. and Mr. Ward was directed to proceed at once to raise among the friends of the church sufficient money to meet the most pressing claims. The charter was obtained March goth, 1868, the agreement with Mr. Buell closed August 12th, 1868, 26 and on September 141111 1868, the college was enabled to open its second session and begin its long struggle with debt and financial distress. The real history of Western Maryland College begins with its second session, for it had, by that time, ceased to be the undertaking of Mr. Buell, it had taken on a corporate existence and had come under the special patronage of a strong and intelli- gent religious organization. Its charter, however, while providing, as was only just and proper, that one-third of the trustees should always be chosen from among the members of the Maryland Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church is entirely free from sectarianisin. The first section provides that 'fyouth of every religious denomination are to be freely adinitted to equal privileges and advantages of education and to all the literary honors ofthe college, without requiring or enforc- ing any religious or civil test. or urging their attendance upon any particular place of religious worship or service other than that in which they have been educated, or which they have the approhation and consent of their parents or guardians to attend, nor shall any preference be given to the choice of a Principal, Master, Tutor or Teacher. on account of his or her particular religious profession. Under this charter and with Dr. Ward as Principal, the second session opened and the first catalogue was issued, the catalogue for 1868-'69, Including the Princi- pal, the faculty then consisted of six instructors: the number of students enrolled was seventy, one-half from Westminster and most of the remainder from Carroll county. By the time, however, the first class was graduated, the class of '71, the teaching force had been enlarged, and the school was attracting patronage from all parts of Maryland and even from adjoining states. Mr. Buell's original building was no longer able to accommodate the steadily increasing number of pupils, and in 1871 additional space was provided by the erection of another edifice at a cost of about seven thousaiid dollars. But in less than ten years it was felt that the college was again becoming cramped for room, and to meet the emergency Dr. Ward, by circular, appealed to his friends for small contributions towards a building fund. The response was prompt and gratifying, and, in sums ranging from fifty cents to ten dollars, the money came pouring steadily in until two thousand dollars had been raised. With this amount, largely increased from his own pocket, a building for male boarding students was erected in 1882, and most appropriately named by the trustees Ward Hall. One striking indication of the hold the young institution had already taken on the public confidence, under Dr. Ward's administration, was an Act of the Mary- land Legislature, passed in 1878, directing that twenty-six of the state-scholars, students. that is to say, whom the state was educating for public school teachers by free scholarships, should receive their training in Westerii Maryland College. To Dr. Ward belongs the honor of being, in a very real sense, the founder of the college. His name, his character, his inliuence, his abilities, carried it safely through the iirst years of doubt and, at times, almost of despair, and secured for it the repu- tation which it bears to-day among the schools of Maryland, and if it everrises to a great and glorious height, it will be because the foundation laid by Dr. Ward was so solid and so strong. During the nineteen years of the Ward administration the school received, as to its general features, the impress which it still retains. Prom the beginning, pupils of 27 both sexes have been admitted' and have received the same degree at graduation. For both the course of study is nearly tl1e same, the principal difference being that the ladies take French. instead of Greek. The plan of separate recitations, of sepa- rate residence, of monthly receptions to the male students, or parlor nights, in the presence of teachers, in short all the regulations which provide for and safeguard the presence of both sexes in the school come down from the early days of Dr. Ward's control. The arrangement has been amply vindicated by its success. In the twenty- six years during which young men and young women have been educated at Western Maryland College, with a town at hand 11ot free from the usual propensity to gossip, no whisper of scandal has been heard. Silence, surely, was never more eloquent. From the beginning, too, hazing was firmly discouraged and rowdyism of all kinds sternly discountenanced, so that now it has become traditional in the school to meet tl1e new .students with courteous welcome instead of the jocose brutality so often practiced elsewhere. Difficulties between town and gown, so common where n1ost colleges exist, have never occurred here, and no case has ever been known in which complaint was lodged against a 'Western Maryland student for disorderly conduct within the corporate limits of NVestminster. Under the fostering care of the faculty, early in the history of the college, the four literary societies now existing were organized, two, the Irving and the VVebster for the young men, and two, the Browning and the Philomathean for the young women, and have always been regarded as valuable adjuncts to the regular academic course. The Irving was formed on the opening of the college, in September, 1867, the Browning followed, in 18683 in 1871 the Webster Callle into existence, while the Philos date their anniversary from 1882. 'Ihe presidency of Dr. XVard lasted from the organization of the college until June, 1856, when, at his own request, he was relieved of the duties he had so long, so faithfully and so ably perforn1ed, and transferred to the important, but less burden- some charge of the Westminster Theological Seminary. ' Few men living are so widely known and so well beloved as the first president of Western Maryland College. Born ill Georgetown, D. C., August zrst, 1820, of sterling English and Scotch stock, carefully educated, and always studious, he devoted him- self to the preaching of the Gospel, and from 1841 to 1866, he led the life of a busy and useful pastor, at Philadelphia, Washington and other important points. Admon- ished by failing health to abandon the arduous work of the itinerancy, Dr. Ward, in 1866, sought retirement and rest in a beautiful home which he had purchased in the western suburbs of Westminster, and thus, providentially, he was on the spot, the right man. in the right place, when the college was first projected, became its first president, carried it safely through the times of early trial and handed it over to his successor an institution of learning solidly founded, widely and favorably known. The successor to Dr. Ward chosen by the trustees was Thomas Hamilton Lewis, who, as the organizer and first president of the Westminster Theological Seminary, had already exhibited executive talents of a rare order. I-Ie was born near Dover, Delaware, December 11th, 1852, graduated, with the highest honors, from Western Maryland College in 1875, entered the ministry of the M. P. Church, was stationed at Cumberland, Md., for two years, and for the five years fron1 1877 to 1882, filled 28 boarders. the pulpit of St Johns Independent Church, Baltimore. In December, 1877, Mr, Lewis married President 'NVard's daughter, Mary, who was, also, a graduate of the college, and is, at this writing, the father of five children, three girls and two boys. In 1882 he organized and became, as stated above, the Hrst president of the West- minster Theological Seminary-the position now held by Dr. W'ard, andhin 1885 received the honorary degree of D. D., from Adrian College, Michigan. Cn his accession to the presidency of the college in July, 1886, he directed his first efforts to the payment of debts which had long been a source of embarrasment and by skillful management was enabled to wipe these out, to the last cent, before the close of the year 1889. The energies of the executive were exercised, also, in building. In 1886 'Ward Hall was enlarged to double its former size and the rooms occupied by the female students were completely refurnished. In I887,N to quote from the Bureau of I:Education's Sketch, a wing IO4 feet long was added to the main building, providing a new dining-hall, a large auditorium and new rooms for female This wing was named Smith Hall in honor of the President of the Board of Trustees. Steam heating apparatus was first introduced into the college buildings this year and 'the deadly stove' was banished. The improvements this year cost over SI2,000. In 1888 the main front was greatly improved by a portico running the entire length. 'Various changes were made within and new furniture and apparatus added. In 1889 XVard Hall was completely remodeled in the interior to the great im- provement of the plan of the rooms. Four acres of ground were added to the premi- ses to furnish a field for sports, and a steam laundry was put in. . The same year was signalized by two very timely and generous gifts. The firm of Bal-:er Brothers, of Buckeystown, Md., erected on the campus a President's House, and Miss Anna R. Yingling, A. M., of Westminster, Md., a member of the first clasS graduated from the college, presented to her Alma Mater a handsome and well- equipped Gymnasium. On the 23d of April, 1890, the Masonic Lodge which, twenty-three years before, had officiated at the laying of the first corner-stone on College Hill, again appeared, at the presidentls invitation, and applied square, level and plumb to the corner-stone of a final addition to the main building, the wing called, in honor of Dr. J. W. Hering, Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, Hering Hall. This annex contains, on the first floor, a spacious chemical and physical laboratory and two large rooms for the use of the preparatory department, on the second floor, iive recitation rooms and the president's oliiceg on the third Hoor, a few sleeping rooms and a handsome library, eighty-one feet long. . The completion of this wing. together with alterations made, at the same time, in the original building, gives the college a beautiful and stately structure, uniform in style and with a frontage of 273 feet. ' While the energies of the executive were thus employed in providing accommo- dations ample enough to meet the increase in the number of preparatory and collegiate students, a new department of work had assumed such proportions as to require a separate building. This was the primary school, Which, at the urgent request of the Citizens of Westminster, the president had consented to open in connection with the college. The emergency was met by Dr. Charles Billingslea and his wife, the former 29 a trustee and the latter a graduate of the college, who furnished the means for the erection of a building for the primarians. The work was begun in the spring of 1891, and at the beginning of the academic year in September Levine Hall, a memorial of the donors' little son, was opened and placed in charge of Miss Lottie A. Owings, an efficient and experienced teacher, who had for years been preceptress in the college. The ive years of ceaseless activity and wearing responsibility which had now elapsed since his inauguration had begun to impair the strength of President Lewis and to threaten his future usefulness. Under the circumstances, a long rest and an entire change seemed advisable, and these could best be secured by travel. Accordingly leave of absence was granted by the trustees, and on the 26th of September, 1891, he started on a tour around the world, followed by the prayers and kind wishes of faculty and students. His return in February of the next year was signalized by illuminations, banquets and other demonstrations of affection and esteem, and it was, above all, an occasion of rejoicing to his personal friends and to all friends of the college to notice the recuperative effects of his voyage. By appointment of the executive committee of the Board of trustees, Professor Reese was acting president of the college during Dr Lewis, absence-from the 25th of September, 1891, to the I2lvll of February, 1892-and was greatly strengthened in the performance of his duties by the cordial support of the faculty and the hearty loyalty of the students. One of the most pleasant of the duties which fell to the lot of the acting president was the dedication, on the zoth of November, 1891, of the modest obser- vatory erected for the reception of a telescope, the gift of Trustees E. O. Grimes and W. H. Starr. This instrument, made by Sxgmuller, of WVashington, D. C., is a five-inch reflector, equatorially mounted and supplied with a driving clock, and is worthy of the beautiful ceremony by which it was consecrated to the study of the heavens. . The return of President Lewis was followed by further improvements. Ample bathing facilities were provided in the hitherto unoccupied basement of the Yingling Gymnasium, and ground was broken for another building. This was completed early in 1893, and serves the double purpose of a boiler-housefthus removing all smoke and dust from the other buildings and furnishing space for the electric plant which is sure to come-and of commodious quarters for the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion of the college. The dedication of the latter, with appropriate ceremony and an encouraging address, took place on the evening of Sunday, the 12th of March, 1893. Meanwhile the fund for Alumni Hall is slowly but steadily increasing, and to the eye of faith the handsome edifice which the graduates are to erect is already visible. To some of our readers it may seem that too much of this sketch has been devoted to brick and mortar. Wlren, however, the astonishing fact is once grasped that all the money spent in building-a part of VVard Hall excepted-has come from the current receipts of the school, it will be seen that in no way could the internal development of the .college be so well represented as by the successive architectural enlargements which it rendered necessary. Then, too, the inner life and daily routine of a college, however absorbing to the undergraduate mind, have very little in them- 30 selves to challenge the interest of the outside World. Wliat the World mainly sees and judges by is buildings and other results, causes and processes lie hidden from its view. From sickness and death the college has always been exceptionally free, the perfect system of steam-heating and the abundant supply of water furnish ample security against tire: its lofty situation, far away from streams, renders damage from Hood an impossibility, but against the powers of the air the best of human precau- tions are feeble. On Sunday evening, the 19th of February last, at half-past nine, a wind storm of unprecedented violence swept over X4VCSt111il1SfS1' and tore the roof from Smith Hall. The young ladies, happily, received no injury, and were promptly quartered for the night in the society rooms and library. The damages wrought by the cyclone were soon repaired, but it tool: a thousand dollars, which the treasury could ill spare, to do it. The history of a college, it has been truly said, is best read in the lives of her sons. To tal-:e in the grand sweep of l1er influence, we must follow them as they go forth into the world to mould and direct the elements that surround them. VVestern Maryland College is willing to have her history thus read. Nearly two thousand boys and girls have been under her fostering care, and, including the class of '93, two hundred and ninety-two students have graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. To these, her sons and her daughters, she can proudly point and, like the Roman matron, exclaim: finer oaffzammzm mm sunt, March 14, 1893. . - l 1 i . , 41 - ,gf -' 1 ' :ad L.-X. .

Ffoiog0?. time for which all creation has looked has at last arrived. It might have been here sooner, but we not being ready, caught old dad time by the fore- FQEEE locks and the bosom of the pants and pulled out the whole forelocks-, keys 6? and all. Of course, this caused some delay for him to procure four new locks that he might make a good appearance in- this of all the greatest events of the post-diluvian age. The time to which I have referred is that of writing the history of that class which has conquered every object and resisting power yet besieged, from the hearts of our own girls to the double-boarded, double-nailed and double-barred door of the pantry. 43 As we shall attempt this work, We will ever keep in mind the requisites ofa true historian, and while we can easily comply with some of them, we feel that there is one from which we would prefer to be excused. We are told a historian should have strict regard for the truth. If it had been for part of the truth, it would have suited us betterg but we infer that the whole truth is meant. So, gentle reader, if you see anything in the following which is strange or of a questionable character, remember that the Writer holds truth in the highest regard, using it only when nothing else will dog and the writer here declares that lie will be responsible for all herein contained and is ready to answer any inquiry or defend all of said volume. Keeping these things in mind, enter thou and behold the great achievements of the class of '93.

These young men and women did as they were commanded, and after much time came to the ancient town of Westminster and entered the walls of that famous college, over which the star now hung. There was a great commotion when we put in our appearance, the college students marched out to greet us headed by the president, while the rear was closed in by the cats and dogs, having since disappeared on account of their curiosity which led them to inspect too closely the sausage-grinder while it was in action. On learning that there was a class of '90, ,QI and ,Q2 already existing, we declined to cast our lots in with them, but agreed to enter as '93's, providing we were justly compensated by the college, and the Columbian Exposition be postponed one year. The first was readily agreed top the other we felt confident of winning, so we entered as freshmen-and freshwomen, of course. VVe had not been long enrolled before some sophs offered to show us the ropes and to make it pleasant for us if we would go them peanuts. This kindness was de- clined as we had no use of ropes and had brought along a full supply of pleasantness. This made us and the then sophs life long enemies, not because we would not see the ropes, but because they could not see the peanuts, and ever afterward they sought re- venge. Yes, they sought revenge from that time onward, and the '93's, by returning good Cto the worldj for their evil, heaped coals of tire and other coal, from which they did not stop to remove the stones, upon their heads to such an extent that in one year they were reduced from thirty-five to twenty-four. Of those who did not return, some are crazy, some dead and some would like to beg of those who returned as juniors We will speak later. But We were freshies, and as freshies had our amount of verdure. Yes, we were freshies, and we had our hayseeds, and perhaps there was yet some river shore mud or KAI Si 02+ H2O.Y'l hanging on our plow-shoes and waterproof boots. We admit 3For information apply to Chemical Professor, whose formula is S3. 45 that we had our knee pants in with our blue jeans. W'e don't deny that our dear girls came to college with many of their childish and by some termed simple traits. We know they still liked their peanuts and still insisted on getting the pencil which had taffy attached. We do not care to deny that the dear little lassies would some- times lick their fingers atter eating their Vzzsscs. Vtfe were freshies, and like all freshies we were verdant. Yet never was a truer thing said than that by our presi- dent after having summoned us before him and looked into our blushing faces and eyes of many colors, even green. We well remember his words, and as we write we know of a surety they were true. This is what he said: Ladies and gentlemen: You have a future before you and can be what you wish, whereupon one dear, sweet little lassie of fifteen summers sang soft and low, Ulwant to be an angel. And then we all thought we would not object to being one of the same kind. After a brief consultation we decided to have the usual class officers, and would begin at once to study the members and the offices in order that when we returned the next year we would get the right person for the right place. Of these we will speak in the next chapter. And now our work had begun. VVe had one plank in our platform over which we intended to cross to the shore of fame where we in honor would stand ,with a crown or cap upon our forehead, and a roll -not a biscuit-in our hand. This plank was, whereas ponies have ever proved a detriment to the cause of education, making the student less a student and more oft a rider, and oftimes making him sore: Be it resolved that we do hereby denounce the system of pony riding, and while we may flunk honestly, we will never ride through dishonestlyft The reader will readily observe that we had hardly the right conception of the pony question and had made for ourselves a law which, if kept, would make our duties almost beyond our efforts. Yet the law was made and we entered upon our work honestly and ardently, and thus continued throughout the year. We soon realized the needs of our college and began to make an effort to supply them. It was after considerable drilling we developed two base-ball teams and a fine class of athletes. Feeling that the first honor was to the most worthy, and he was most worthy who honestly excelled all others, we entered the various contests determined to excel all others or make all others excel themselves. The result was that at the end of the year, ,QS held first honors of both the field and indoor sports. While thus we strove and won, Tempus had not ceased to fugit and we were ap- prised of the fact that the day was at hand when the freshmen class should step from the lofty position which it had occupied for the few months of its sojourn at the great institution of learning, should put aside what little dignity it had found lying around where it had fallen from the over-burdened Srls, should forget it was composed of boys and girls from 'Christian homes of a civilized country, and of all fools, whether ancient or modern, living or dead, should make themselves the greatestg, or, in other words, the time had come for burning the effigy and with it its accompanying out- landish, heathenish yells, shrieks and groans, which made all others but the freshies and the effigy wish that they were the freshies and the freshies were the effigy, and which made the effigy wish it was anything or anybody but the effigy. The freshies were not wishing-they were satisfied. The rest of the people were just what they would have . 46 the1n, the effigy was just what they would have it, and they were just what they would have themselves, and thus they were .Ks joyful with their savage glee, As his satanic niajestyg And all his imps who stand around, Or leap about with hellish bound, 'While burning i11 a living flanie, A fallen one with Christian name. They burned it though, and no one dared to stop them. Oh, yes, the sophs in- tended to, but when the time came-the sophs-Oh, where were they? Time passed on-something it has ever done-with one exception, and We found ourselves freshies no longer-and it was a good thing, for some of us were too long already-those days were passed, so after giving up other hearts and receiving our own, which had been mutually exchanged for safe keeping, we traveled to our re- spective homes to show our friends a thing or two. ,Je ,-,. , , ,wie XF L- W! i 0 d wr f t fl: ' l X iz 'id ' .-+r.v,bff,fm as l 'J I. . f ,imf l gl 'I gl li-r edgy . 7 5.-iw'-m!nm,,, L4 W wx in f ul' 5 11 1! ,,.,f,,l,l 7-,aff tlfr lisll ' . l yi , f' ll li -lil 1912-K th if i' ' ll , fm if-im , I 1 I 3 hx 7 lul l f WuurllplsLli!lr,la, 1 ll 1' lm ll ,,r., Ll lr .Nl in -' rl.

Some few had fallen out of our ranks, but the vacancies were filled by others, who, having heard of our class, its achievements and its promising future, came begging admittance into our fold After carefully examining their recommendations and after much debate, it was finally decided to take them ing and now our class numbered fifty-three. There was much demanding our attention, many important things to be doneg of them we can mention a few only. One of the irst, and, in fact, the very iirst, was the organization of our class. The time had come when we should elect officers, so soon after our return the class was called together and the officers were elected to the various positions as they were thought most suitable. We knew our members pretty well, having studied them for a year. We first elected our president. The qualifica- tions for this olhce were: He should have a proper amount of dignity, and be so good as to never use a pony, hook recitations, break in the pantry, smile at the oppo- site sex, or go on an YS. T. parade. The man was found, the vote was castg but time has wrought many changes and there is nothing he will not do now, from riding the pony to the parade arrangement. Oliice No. 2: YVe knew pretty well what we had done, but who could tell what we would do? The qualifications required were: The ability to look minutely into the past and thus be able to analyze the members by their past actions, as what one has done in a great measure shapes his future destiny-the ability to read the mind of man. This person was also required to commune at times with the oracles. We found the philosophical reasoner who could read one's mind very well, and it only remained to see if she were ever absent from herself and sur- roundings. So we studied her during our ' freshie years and soon learned she was the one we so much neededg for often after having called our powers of eloquence to our service and having delivered some elaborate harangue of five minutes, prepared for the occasion, she would quietly and serenely say beg pardon, so we had to conclude that either she suited us, or we were the most consummate bores alive. She was chosen. For No. 3 we needed one who would correctly note all our proceedings, and one who liked much writing. From the great city of Wallcersville one walked up hereg he has been riding ever since-not always in a carriage. He soon proved himself worthy of means that which is closer to ii fellow than his brother, and T, is the other end ofit. . 48 the honor, as he excelled all others in writing, at times lirewing-tonfsj of danger. Next! Who could fill the bill? Who was the man to handle the cash? And other such questions were asked by our members. There was but one thing required. Should hc attempt to escape with the boodle, he could be overtaken thirty days after starting. Honesty did not enter into the question at all, so I did not get it. Smith did, though. All our officers were elected but one. To this office was attached much importance. It was much desired that the deeds of this illustrious class should be recorded and handed down to posterity. But who should do it? Tacitus was dead-yes sir, dead! So were Gibbon and Macaulay, and, in fact, all whom we would like to have had. After much advertising, one from our metropolis, formerly from the broad acres, sub- mitted himself for examination. The qualifications for this oliice were just opposite to those of the president: it was desired that he should have not a spark of dignity, and should be ever ready to ride the ponies, hook recitations, break in the pantry and din- ing-hall-provided detective W. was not around-smile at the girls and go on the par- ades. It was also required that he should have the highest regard for truth. The fellow from the city got the position, and as all know, both faculty and students, until quite recently he has filled the bill: minus of dignity he has ever been ready to ride or hook, break pantry or smile at the opposite sex, not drawing the line at the faculty even. But here again time has wrought its changes, and now, on account of Dig. he smiles no more, it is, no doubt, because no one will smile at him, neither does he go on any more parades. Again, because of goodness, or afraid of being caught, he re- fuses to break the pantry. But tl1e officers were elected and our class was ready for biz. By this time some folks had become juniors, and the time had come to hand down the cane, and also an opportunity, as they thought, to set down on the '93's, an opportunity for which they had waited ever since ,93 had declined to be shown the ropes. 'We assembled to wither beneath the blighting speech of the junior president, in which he, for some reason, failed to explain the absence of the members of his class from the burning of our effigy, as they had intended to be present to prohibit the performances. After our president had accepted the cane and assured them that O!z'71z 71Zf77ZZ-712.556j'Z!'Z!lZ6Z'f,H which was the inscription on the cane, and which, after about a year's labor, they, the Jrfs, had succeeded in translating, we retired, and they, we suppose, congratu- lated themselves on the way they did us up. It would have ended here, but they did not know when they had done well, so in the next issue of our monthly they came out in an article entitled The Folly of Blindly Following, but now they are sorry that they spoke, because tl1e following issue of the monthly brought an answer from '93 which made Oliva 7lZ671Zl.7ZZ1S'5Bjillifllbl-fi, quite untrue, so far as the class of ,92 and the handing down of the cane is concerned, for it has not been and will never be pleasant for them to remember it hereafter. Our platform of the previous year meant Work for us. We found our duties many, but we were determined and were possessed with hearts for any fate, if it were Hunk, and quite often it happened to were. Of all the games of this year we lost but one, and as in the preceding year, so in this, we were first in work, irst in play and first in the hearts of our darling girls. If you don't believe the writer ask the girls, as he to his sorrow has done., 49 Another year is goneg the time has again come to make an exchange of hearts. Owing to the way some had betrayed their trust the year before, many changes had been made in the early part of this year, and this caused some little trouble in the exchangeg hearts were badly mixed, so several of the poor fellows had to go home without any heart at all-ask the president of our classy but in the place of one they carried a cane and swore to all that clubs were trumps. i ,.

The class of '93 has both suffered a loss and made a gain. We left numbering nfty-threeg we returned FQ? numbering thirty-eight. We lost seventeen old membersg we gained two new ones. fOur hearts were inclined to be sad. Some had gone from us who were bound to us with ties which eternity itself could not sever. They were 7Q3,S, and as such were a part of us. But we rejoiced in the fact that it was well with them all, and even better with him who had been called to join the innumerable host of heaven. XVe knew with Bryant that he had approached his grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams, and more, we knew he was awakened from those dreams by God's white-winged messengers of peace to a realization of heaven's highest blessings, and, although absent, yet with us, interested in us, rejoicing in our victories, and ever beckoning us on from over the jasper walls. Knowing this, we rejoiced and welcomed our new members with outstretched armsg that is, the girls did, as the new members were girls, we didn't, nor would we, had they' been boys. And now great changes were to be made. We had been convinced that things were not just as they should be in this great world or in this great institution of ours. So in the early part of our junior life we assembled ourselves together to discuss matters and make plans for some reformation. After two years of wear and tear and a little swear we were persuaded that there was one plank in our bridge over which we could hardly cross, it was the pony plank, as you know, it read: Be it resolved that we do hereby denounce the system of pony riding, and while we may flunk hon- estly, we will never ride through dishonestlyf' There were some things in here that needed changingg for instance, the clause, while we may Hunk honestly, we learned by sad experience should read, while we shall flunk honestly, no may about itg it was a dead certainty. Again, we will never ride through dishonestlyn we thought sounded as if we were boasting. It did not accord with our modesty: These needed changing, but we could not well agree on the changes, so one fa lady memberj moved that the plank be removed and in its place this: 'fResolved. We commend pony riding as a healthful exercise, thereby aiding the memory, and that we will use as many as possible, whenever possible, wherever possible. This plank was slightly different from the other and was very much opposed. Those opposing most strenu- ously were Messrs. Watsoii, Lewis, Galt, Routson, Gilbert and Strayer, all making lengthy speeches. It is well to say that all the ladies opposed it, even the maker of SI the motion, also that the author alone advocated its passage. The roll was called., each one voting in answer to his name. It was carried unanimously, many, especi- ally the ladies, voting twice, and the fellows who so strongly opposed it, four times each. Even our president claimed a vote and cast his ballot for it, which we took as a sign of his degeneracy. Another change we thought needed was in the rules of order. After two years of contemplation and violation of the ixed rules We were persuaded that no rules were better than broken rules and some rules were better than no rules. Therefore rules we could keep were better than rules we broke. We came to this conclusion with the aid of logic and our professor. A committee was appointed to draw up a set of rules for the class of ,Q3, with the penalty of ostracism attached for their violation. The rules will explain themselves. They are:- PLEDGE- I hereby solemnly swear, f'w.'au5pfs6zKawaz,H by Jupiter, to faithfully endeavor to obey the following class regulations and such others as the class may hereafter pro- mulgate for the regulation and good conduct of the faculty: I.

During school hours thou shalt loaf beneath the trees on the campus, if it be ein gzzfezf Tczgg, but should it not happen to were, thou shalt gather thyselves together in the room of some diligent student and unite in singing choruses or other hilarious oracular demonstrations. IV. When thou wishest to be gonested away, then shialt thou consult the weather prophet and thy own sweet will, and when thou hast coveted thy neighboris umbrella and thy room-mate's purse thou shalt sally forth and so forth. Shouldst thou be a female girl student, then shalt thou indite rfincn sfissm Brief to thy congenial smiler- in-law, Whom thou shalt gently lead to the ice cream parlor or oyster saloon, Where thou shalt exercise thy hash destroyers to the mournful melody of Tennyson's break, , 5 2 break, broke. Oh, see! as murmured by thy victim, dejectedly gazing at the non- rotunditv of his lucre depository. Visiting hotels, restaurants or other places where refreshments are served is especially encouraged, and shouldst thou contemplate same, thou shalt notify the faculty one week previous, that a reduction adapting the college grub supply to thy absence may be made. V. Divine service shalt thou attend each succeeding Sabbath, thou and thy clerical attire, thy white cravat and thy saintly countenance. XVhither thou shalt go will be dependent upon the religious persuasion of thy sweet-heart. VI. Thou shalt not eject anything from thy semi-translucent light admitters, except it be a troublesome Soph or the contents of the slop receptacle on the head of a verdant Prof. During that portion of the sidereal year when the beautiful snow clothes mother earth in a mantle of white thou shalt consider it incumbent upon thee to seriously and irremediably bend every assailable rectangular body composed of silicates of calcium, potassium and sodium. VII. When the solar rays illumine this terrestial ball, thou, damsel, shalt confine thy meandering to thy portion of the campus and thou, lad, shalt not depart from thineg but when the dusky shades of night have spread their kindly mantle, then the earth is thine to roam where thou wilt. VIH. Thou shalt not use firearms. Thou didst not enter the classic halls to develop thy Buffalo William propensities. Only ideas are taught how to shoot. Neither shalt thou indulge in exhaling noxious efliuvia produced by the rapid ignition and oxidization of the carbonaceous substance known, in the language of the vulgar populus and verdant freshmen as Htobaclclcerf' IX. At the morning inspection the mathematical professor, with the aid of his improved transit, will take the .fine of the accumulated dust strata on the floor of the domestic domicile. When said sim, indicates that the lower strata was deposited duri11g the Paleozoic era, the happy inmates will be notified of the discovery and furnished with a lightning excavator. X. If thy family physician dost prescribe for thee change and rest, hie thee not away to the shore of the gently heaving sea, but betake thyself to W. M. C., where the confectioner gets the change and the president gets the rest. NVhen the president receiveth not the rest there will be none for thee, so submit thyself to the inevitable. XI. Communications between the departments is especially encouraged. When in immediate proximity to the grum and demure prof., thou shalt keep mum, not ad- dressing the miss lest thou speakest amiss, and the mister mistaking the sad misde- meanor takes the miss from thy presence, and, having dismissed her, returns the as- sister of mysterious misanthrophy, misconstruing thy mishap for mischief. Smiling is conducive to the beautifying of thy facial expression, and as a miss is as good as a mile, try a smile to beguile from thy miss all the while to better the style of thy handsome profile. XH. If thou art a male student thou shalt not be allowed to receive a visit from thy female admirer, unless by written permission, signed by thy parent or guardian, and endorsed by the president and three members of the faculty. If thou dost wish to 53 entertain a visiting friend or relative, tl1ou shalt obtain a careful estimate of his hash- consuming propensities and consult the caterer one week prior to expected arrival. NOTE.-If thou dost contemplate violating any of the above rules, thou shalt make such intention known to the faculty one week prior to offense, as otherwise the Prof. may fail to discover the fact. N. B.-Above rules subject to change without previous notice. And now another sophomore class is in existence, another president has been elected, another class is to receive the cane-not the same cane-for as with all other things which has passed through the hands of ,Q3, so with the cane. The old has be- come new, the silver, gold, free from alloy, a true emblem of the class that gave it. Another change was noted. No advantage was taken of our successor's position, no attempt to jest at another's expense, but in tones of love and words of good cheer was it given, and it was received by ,94 with a speech from its president, character- istic of all that is noble and true. Old Tempus now ceased in its fugiting long enough to remind us of the junior banquet. VVe heeded the warning, once more gathered ourselves around the consulta- tion board to decide when it should be and the nature of it. It was worthy of our best efforts, it was the recipient of the same, there was spared neither time, labor nor money, we felt that our fame was at stake, and with sleeves rolled up our little girls beat biscuits and made dainties unsurpassable, and with breeches rolled up our boys trudged for turkeys and other fowl, over hills and through bogs almost impassable, not only so, but all dress-makers were employed for miles around, and, as was proven later, their work and taste on that occasion was unsurpassable. The result was, that on the rzth of February, 1892, there was a banquet held at NV. M. C. never before equaled, and of which some of our dignities partook until their Esophagus was impassable. For want of space we cannot give any further description of it here, but let us say there was spent for the occasion nearly SI,OOO. One who was present and partook most largely of the repast, wrote about it thus: And can certainly be said to equal any similar event in the history of the college. 'We think it did! With the many events of school life we found our junior year drawing to a close, every day testifying to the superiority of the now famous class of our Alma Mater, and the time had indeed come when their flag should wave from its towers. It was a dar- ing feat, fjust such feet as some of our boys have.j How well do we remember it. All things had been made ready, and at the appointed hour six of the daring, the brave, glided noiselessly down from fourth hall, then separating, two ascended the steps of Hering Hall to the top of the tower and were soon running along the roof over the not dead but sleeping, unsuspecting ,92,S. And now the deed is done, the banner is unfurled, and ,QS proudly floats on the air. Nor are the four behind, although a larger task, although a deed more daring, yet not too much so for them, with fearless hearts they pass the Proffs door, ascend the creaking stairs to the literary hall of YVebster, then dropping themselves by ropes to the adjoining roof below, along which they run to the extreme end from the Hag which was already unfurled. Reaching this point 54 they soon make fast the staff and the echo resounds all is well. Turning their faces to the windows of their loved ones they sing She sleeps, my lady sleeps, and the moon looks down with placid smiles and answers back, She sleepsf' and each star traveling its journey o'er peeps in upon her couch and whispers, She sleepsf' She did not sleep long in the morning though, for she was one of the first whom we saw admiring it as 'the morn' waked by the circling hours was with rosy fingers unbarring the gates of light. What did they do about it? Oh, nothing but fume and kick, they took the one down from over their hall and intended to take down the other also-but let us here drop the curtain and all join the chorus: O, say, can you sec by the dawnls early light VVhat so proudly we hailed at the mornings Hrst beaming, The '93 flag with its colors so bright, From each of the towers they were gallantly streamingg O, how they did yell! it would be hard to tell, As they saw the flags waving, fluttering out their death knellg But the banner waved on 'mid their yelling and all, O'er W. M. C. and the 'ninety -two hall. After several games the honors for first place was again bestowed on ,QS as leaders in the field. And now our hearts were sad. Father Time commanded us to divest our- selves of our junior garments and to prepare to don the Sr. robe. Who can or will live up to the privilege of the jolly jr. when we shall have goneg to care for nothing but taking advantage of every opportunity to have fun, even at the expense of the higher dignitaries of our college? Could we be otherwise than sad? Yet, it must beg Hit .was in accord with the eternal fitness of all things -fDoc Nelsonj-that we pull up and away, in other words, get our hens away. Having had so much trouble in times past by exchanging hearts we decided to leave them as they were, but iirst we made one another Hdeed and double deedygi' we would not lose them or swap them offg but we soon wished we hadn't. VVhen we had gone to our respective places and had seen a new face-and, Oh, some sweet faces-and when an exchange of hearts was proposed we had to confess in doleful tones that it cannot was, my heart is not my own, and how often we had wished we had exclaimed with the poet, Maid of college, ere we separate us, Give me back my cardiac apparatus. 55 '93 was SENIORS. O, ye muse of Heaven sing, All your heavenly powers bring, And tell the deeds in lofty strain, Let them ring over hill and plain, From the golden State to pine-tree Maine, ,Q3,S deeds when seniors. historian feels more than ever his lack of ability as he attempts to give the record of the closing year of '93. To give the truths-for truths we want-and yet to conceal the appearance of braggadocio requires superior abilities, but F613 we can do one thing at least-record the truths-and if we appear to boast, remember it is more desirable to bear the name of braggart than to stand accused as a falsifier. We returned to college in the beginning of this year with the same number as that with which we left. As our revised platform suited us so well we decided to leave it unchanged. XVhile we were cheerful because we could once more look into the blushing faces of our better halves, and because we were the recipients of many smiles from acrosS the dining-hall, yet we were sad because we must desist from those things permissible in others, yet very improper for a Sr. with his dignity. Did we have any? VVell, a little. How could we help it? All the school looked up to us. XVe now headed the pro- cession in chapel and down to dinner, many of the boys took off their hats to us and many other things tending to remind us of our position and at the same time reminding us that we could no more hang on the back fence or peep through the knot-holes to smile at her, as she, hanging herself half out of the window returned smile for smile, and often, two for one. No more could we play Romeo and Juliet, which in the Fresh- and Soph. years means the fellow 70677115 all around the building because he own her a letter for which she lets down her little basket, he in the meantime telling her what, he said in the letter. Now, old Dig. said we could not do such naughty but nice things. He also said we must not go into the pantry any more, it made no difference how hungry we became Could we be any other but sad? Yes, we could have been hungry had we wished, but we did not wish it. VVe submitted to the nulliiication of the Romeo and Juliet act and promised to consider the pantry question, we did it. It was on the 28th of October, one of that kind of nights which makes one think of ghosts. It seemed as if nature had determined to aid the boys in their plans. The night was dark. The winds shrieked through the lealless trees and moaned around the corners of the buildings, the windows rattled, the shutters shook, the doors creaked. 56 Such was the night of the 28th of October, '92, and on that night some of the Sr. boys met to consider the pantry question. After much discussion and deep meditation, taking not less than thirty seconds, it was unanimously agreed upon that it was better to be than not to be, and if they could not be out of the pantry, they would be in it. They were convinced that they could not be out of it, as to be meant to exist, and they were so hungry they could not exist. So they determined to be in it before midnight. Having acquipped themselves with all sorts of keys. long keys and short keys, round keys and flat keys, mon-keys, skeleton keys and keys that were not skeletons, they wended their way to the object of much concern. They soon entered the kitchen, but here they stopped, for the pantry door rose up before them and mockingly exclaimed, Thou shalt not steal!! They were astonished! XVho had thought of stealing? The keys were tried, but alas! Some were too long, some were too short, some too large and some too small. None could prevail upon the lock to yield, but they got in. How? Oh, by a little trick of theirs, it matters not how they were in, and then such funny things happened. One fellow fished out a heart from a pau of chicken and swallowed it, Rfhjine-hfejart and all. Upon being asked why he took it whole, he answered that he was Mills enough to grind it up. Ever since that night he has been par- ticularly fond of the htejart with the rfhjine attached. QThis, no doubt, will cause the Mills to grind-this teethjj One fellow declared he could balance a pitcher on his lip by placing the lip of the pitcher to his own, he attempted it but the thing was full of rich milk, so he had to drink or get strangled, therefore, he drank in self-defence, at the same time drinking in the milk. After having performed these and many such tricks they thought on their departure, but now the trouble was great which they encountered. They were com- passed about by many things, such as pies, peaches, jellies, pickles, etc., crying: Take us out of this place, many long days have we been in here, Oh, take us out! And thus they took compassion upon them and took them upon themselves, as many as they could carry, promising the others a speedy relief, but they never came back. They never came back, because some said it was a case of misappropriation of goods, and dignity raised its hands in holy horror and broke faith with us, so the boys would not go any more, as their intentions were misjudged. But dignity was gone, old Dig. had left them and they had to dig for themselves. They did it. Why, they dug fully one-half hour trying to remove the putty from around one pane of glass. It was on Hallow 'een night and the fellows were to have fixed up the dining-hall, hence the digging of the putty Before they had removed the pane the sash came out and now the boys, time had come, with a bound they sprang through the window, leaped on the floor, but - that is just what they did, buf, they butted right against de? tective Stone and tWjright by his side another detective. This one yelled run!' They ran. Remember, I said they ran. If you want proof of it ask the boys. Being important that an account of the exploit should be given, the writer, after much per- suasion, was induced to go, for the same reason he was induced to run when the com- mand was given. There was this difference, however, not so much persuasion W9-S needed. 57 While these and many other events were transpiring, time Cin some respects our kind friend and in others some other kindj brought us an invitation, to a banquet, from our sister class of 194. At the appointed time we assembled, the prettiest lot of girls and happiest lot of fellows in the country, The members of ,94 had spared nothing that we might enjoy the evening, they seemed to have considered our happi- ness primarily, and after enjoying the repast much and the company of ,94 more, we bade them goodby, knowing them better and loving them more. But we must cease to multiply words, which are inadequate, modesty bids us refrain. What we have done is inscribed upon the many walls that have been reared since our entrance, sung from the stage by the Glee Club,', founded by us, and shouted over the hills by members of the athletic association. Read the inscriptions, hear the strains of music and shouts of praise. What do they tell? One and the same story- progress. If you would know of us look at the advanced steps of our college. We found no gymnasium, no Hering hall, no Levine hall, no President's home or Association building. W'e found no glee club, no foot-ball team or athletic association. Our apartments were crowded, our preparatory students mingled with the Srs., and our songs and praises would seem to be in form of a triangle, cube or some other mathe- matical figure as we would swear over the math. at day and pray over our sins at night in the same room, but all is changed, and to day we boast of our new halls, recitation rooms, gymnasium, President's house and Christian association building. Our athletic association is a strong body, our foot-ball team a terror, and our glee club is no doubt the best in the state. Think of all this which has been accomplished in four years, and connect with it the postponing of the Worldls Fair for one year, that these two great events of America might occur in the same year, and then add to all this '93's greatest achievement, namely, the editing of annals for the year. While others may have thought of it, it remained for them to execute, and thus they have clothed themselves with honor, and have placed their Alma Mater on an equal plain with any college in the state, and, is it too much to say she is ahead of all, excelling them in all points, by so far as the first edition of our annals excells that of any other college. Give to all who have gone before due praise, and to all Who may follow just reward for what they shall do, but let it be known that We ask for ours, and ours alone. so render unto :93 that which is '93's. 58 S VH I 18 I IGS 93.

HAND COMING EVICNTS cAs'r THEIR SHADGVVS B1iFORl':. EIGQROPHECY may be correctly defined as ante-dated history. As an attribute of being, it has had no existencegsave in the inspired characters of Biblical litera- itig ture. By a wise provision of Providence, it is without the range of human possi- TJ bility to predict contingent eventsg the very essence of life is hope, expectancy, and the hnite constitution without the food afforded by the unceasing revolutions of Future into Present, would become debilitated as by slow starvation. From times so remote as to be almost mythical to the present era of advanced civilization however, anything savoring ofthe supernatural has borne the insignia of power-the creduilty of the ancients vested the prognostications of the astrologers, the decrees of the augurs and the verdicts of the oracles with pivotal importance in governmental affairs, and the treatment of the so-called sixteenth century witches is a fearful testimony to the continued influence of the mysterious, even in the present Uday, the arts practiced by gypsy fortune-tellers and magicians hold the less cultivated in their captive thralls. But the writer being skeptical on this subject in whatever guise it may assume, has invaded the realms of dreamland in search of succor. The day with its labors and vexatious was past, and I sat resting upon a lofty veranda while my thoughts mingled with the stars of the celestial galaxy. Awed by the weird brilliance of the constellations, my mind unconsciously appropriated the transports of the English poet: Oh majestic Night! Nature's great ancestor! Day's elder born! And fated to survive the transient Sun! By mortals and iminortals, seen with awe! A starry crown thy raven brow adorns, As azure zone, thy waistg clouds in heaven's loom Wi-ought through varieties of shape and shade, In ample folds of drapery divine, Thy flowing mantle formg thy gloomy grandeur Like a sable curtain starr-'d with gold, Is drawn oler my labor past. But as archaic opinions respecting these constellations and the legends connected with their names were recurring to me in rapid succession, the scene receded slowly 62 from my sight. I was again in 1ny sanctum struggling with the duties of life in the shape of thirty-seve11 tiny creatures-regular Lilliputians on the point of maliciousness. In the space of three seconds, my condition physically rivalled Baron Munchausen's, and the grey property of my brain dwindled painfully as the soprano fsuperlative in degreej of the thirty-seven filled my ears all engaged with the same theme: You have not prophesied for Bessie Anderson! You haven't prophesied for Mike Watson! You haven't prophesied for Emma Shipley ! You haven't prophesied for jack Galt! etc., until the activities of nature were suspended. Upon regaining consciousness, I observed a tiny lady whom I recognized as the fairy royalty of my childish literature, and encouraged by her benevolent countenance, I complained bitterly to her. My child,'J she smilingly remonstrated, a posteriorig trace the effect to its cause. No punislnnent is too severe for neglected duty, but considering the difficulty of your task, I will furnish you an instrument to lighten it. It is a magic telescope. upon whose object-glass is reflected inventions in the work- shop of Fate, and an apparatus by which time may be computed. Apply it to your eye, and a future scene in the lives of each of your class-mates will be presented 5 and placing in my hand this curious donation, my tutelary vanished as a harmonious selection of fairy music soothes one with recuperative power. Bewildered by so extra- ordinary an experience, I proceeded to test my beautiful gift almost suspiciously. 1897. There stands in the city of -1 a newly erected building whose archi- tectural beauty attests both the munificence of the founder and the skill of the designer. Located in the solitude of the suburbs and surrounded by cultivated groves, it repudi- ates the idea of a state edifice, nor can it be a private residence. Ah! through an open window the spectacle of sufferers and nurses moving quietly among their cots reveals the melancholy drama of the hospital. Upon 0116 of these cots a cripple lies, to whom a visitor is talking. In the waning light, the picture of the lady, whose face is radiant with sympathy, and the rapt attention of her listener, is a touching one, and disproves the Parisian psychology of l'eternel feminin. Thus continuing her generous philanthropy, Bessie, the founder of Anderson Hospital, has fulfilled the promise of her girlhood. rgoo. The vernal sun rarely smiles upon a scene lovelier than the old colonial mansion of the VVhealton's, ensconced among the spacious grounds. But the restless grandeur of the ocean, the fragrance of Flora's favored courtiers, and the general festivity of nature are unheeded by the group upon a piaza joyously welcoming the elder son and his bride. It is mother's turn now 1 As they stand clasped in each other's arms, tears glistening on their lashes, the sun falls upon the silvered head of mother and the golden head of daughter with a transitory splendor as if in benedic- tion. Truly the love of Naomi and Ruth repeats itself-and the bird on yonder bough pipes K' long life and happiness to Edna Bouldenf' A 1910. A great teacher has said 'the Humanities must outweigh the Sciences at all times,' and he is unquestionably true, if only for the reason that in their sweet wisdom every human heart, sorrowful or perplexed, may find refuge. There is no necessity, Ellis, to await your signature. This simple sentiment betrays you, surroun- ded as you are by all the appurtenances of wealth and fame, and developed by the partial hand of Time into extraordinary lovelinessg therein lies the secret of your 63 strangely assorted library, upon whose lowest shelves worn volumes of Hawthorne, Shakespeare, De Stael, Tennyson, Longfellow and De Quincy are placed, while Baconls and Locke's dry philosophies are consigned to obscure corners. Having the knowledge of a specialist upon so many subjects, you have endowed romance with the priceless gifts of a master-mind, and your compositions to the learned and illiterate alike are as the beams of the returning sun in arctic regions. I-Iumbly unconscious, Ellis Crouse sits upon the throne of fame and universal love. 1895. A desolated tower rises from the ruins of a once venerable mansion, where formerly the laughter and songs of noble ladies, and the debates of great statesmen, now only the screeching of owls and the whirring of bats can be heard as they Hy through the musty chambers. But a band of gypsies have trespassed upon their soli- tudeg some are examining their plundersg some are regaling themselves with long stemmed pipes 5 others are grouped about the legendary pot devouring even the smoke as it curls heavenward, while in the distance an old woman sits surrounded by a bevy of visitors. Lizzie Dorsey is among them, and as this swarthy prophetess takes her hand to trace her destiny in the language of palmistry, almost I imagine I hear her words. What is that about the light haired gentleman and life-long happiness? How- ever, Lizzie's complacent face supplies the missing words, as the satisfied party wend their way towards home. Let us wish her 'f BoN-heurf, 1898. Class-mate Mamie Elliott evinced an ambition so literary that we supposed her Wholly consecrated to Minerva's cause, but our telescope discovers her a votary of Venus as well. Imagination summons up the apparitions of the past, but among them Mrs. Iordan's Kindergarten has no place. Through an open window may be seen small urchins and maidens as they call Mamie hither and thither to sharpen a crayon, to pronounce a word, or to administer reproof, but in addressing her their lips frame not Miss Elliott, but with childish carelessness, Miss Jordan. The order that is preserved is remarkable, nor is it enforced by ferule or birch, by iirrnness and patience, those requisites for successful iustruction, our friend has won from her students respect and love, and from their parents conhdence. ' 1925. The susceptibility of Edna Erb and Janie Thomas, resident students, to Cupid's sieges, was propitious to early nuptials, but contrary to omens, my telescope espies two grey-haired ladies talking upon Mr. Thomas' piazza, which we passed so often on our way to church. The spiders spinning their webs from pillar to pillar, the mosquito on a concertizing tour, the terrier lapping up the milk for breakfast, and the lads next door playing target with the dining-room window, are unnoticed by these dear old maids, While they exchange the reminiscences of their student days. Truly the pathos of Roger's stanza is exquisite : Memoi-y's pleasures most we feel when most alone, The only pleasure we can call our own, Lighter than air, Hope's summer visions die If but a fleeting cloud obscure the sky, If but a beam of solar Reason play- Lo, Fancy's fairy frost work melts away, But can the wiles of Art, the grasp of Power Snatch the rich relics of a happy hour? 64 1925. As the vision of this distinguished college evinces its departure by increas- ing haziness, just beyond several buildings apparently devoted to agricultural purposes become clearly defined. The most noticeable of these is a capacious, slanting-roofed barn, whose open doors reveal the hay piled high upon the loft, and great mountains of straw, which afford cozy nests for you haughty biddies. In the door-way a gen- tleman, browned by coniiict with King Sol and dressed to withstand the moods of capricious nature, surveys with a calm sense of ownership the broad, undulating helds that surround an almost palatial residence. His attention is diverted by the tramp of many hoofs, as the horses return from the brook to their stalls. As he turns a very poor phisiognomist could not mistake our farmer, though in maturer years than when we last saw him, for any other than class-mate jack Galt. 1908. The next scene is one of peculiar interest, partaking somewhat of the nature of a pantomime. This mystic medium between future and present reveals the Legislative Hall of our nation. Its galleries are thronged with visitors gazing with rapt attention at Senator Gilbert, who has just risen to speak. Nor is interest mani- fested by the visitors aloneg his colleagues, and even the dignified chairman, have abandoned their nonchalant attitudes for that of profound, almost fascinated attention. And the orator, his face expressing eloquence, pathos, scorn, patriotism invthe uncon- sciousness of emotiong his commanding presence enhanced by the grace and earnest- ness of his gestures, and the faces of the audience reflecting his thoughts as a mirror are all evidences of the true oratorical power of one of Western Mdfs graduates. 1909. Mr. Grow's unconquerable antagonism to connubial relations prompts an imaginative indulgence ere I again adjust my glass Perhaps, after the lapse of years, some fair damsel has vanquished his passion for palate and brush and Sblitudeg or perhaps there lies in the depths of his trunk a packet of letters which contain a new version of Love's Labor Lost, but instinctively my mind builds among its air castles a bachelor's hall, whose owner is wedded to his art. Let us seel Prominently there hangs upon the walls of the C- Gallery a painting--a gem even among those treasures of art. The subject is indeed so full of pathos in its simple courage as to be deeply touching-an old man, his white head bowed reverently over the Sacred Scripture, is at his daily devotions. On his bosom a golden-haired child reclines, glancing ever and anon through the window, apprehensive of the approach of Catholic foes, who are engaged in their horrible methods of persecution. As an exquisite production of genius we admire itg as a production by Mr. Grow it' must ever be an object of our proud appreciation. 1898. In college days Mr. Hymiller was dubbed 'tthe Muse, because of his pro- pensity to muse, possibly upon various plans by which he might obtain interviews hardly chaperoned by the eleventh commandment? However, as tutor of Latin in the same institution, he is no longer harrassed by the stern exactions of scheduled rules-- now, probably, he assents to the theory of stolen sweets. Our instrument espies a Freshie pinning a placard upon the coat tail of a tall Senior, another youngster slyly eats an apple while he cons the pages of Cicero's philosophy, others are riding the proverbial ponies while Professor complacently grades each of them ro. Gccasional 2tThere shall be no communication between the departments. 65 outbursts of buoyancy are greeted with exhaustless patience, which leniency, strange to say, seems to be more potent in preserving order than the usual methods of reproof -and Prof. plunges again into the beauties of Virgil with the class of 1900. I902. Lydia Hullis susceptibility to 'sweet sounds when produced by a certain singer, and that singer's attempt to excel in the key of B mine ah, were propitious of an entirely different conclusion than that declared by our telescope. In a small room, nicely furnished and arranged, there are sitting two ladiesg one, Mrs. I-Iull, is knitting a soft, gray mantle, with her feet perched upon the fender, altogether uncon- scious of our magic spy, the other, Lydia, is industriously writing to Dem' Wz'!Zz'e Gffeenx-Tliee pains one more than I can tell thee by thy missive of the third day. Cease thy importunities, I beg thee, for I have determined to remain as I am. The felicity that mother and I enjoy has too many charms for me to resign it for any other. The friends who are assisting mother and me in our work, met here last fourth day, and our plans were arranged with entire satisfaction. Motherjoins me in kind regards to thee. Thy well-wishing friend, LYDIA GOVER HULL. 1896. The ball is over. The guests half-regretfully have donned their wraps and taken their departure, and our debutante, Miss Ethel Lewis, occupies alone the ex- quisite Eastlake parlors. The delicate flush upon her face and the' brightness of her eyes attest a successful debut, as well as a remarkable vitality. Seating herself upon a divan, she falls into a reverie. Vkihat l1er thoughts are it is beyond the power of magic to divine, but the haughty, exultant expression, succumbs to the iniiuence of some tender emotion as with gentle hands she draws a letter from her bosom: i JW Deaf Szlmff.---Tliis is the first opportunity to write that I have had since my arrival in Switzerland. During my travels I have seen many splendid creations of architectural and artistic genius, but these mountainous productions of the Divine Genius are incomparable. This evening I beheld the sun set from a lofty peak, while awe and humility filled my whole being. Never before have I realized the immeasurability of the universe. I am anxious to begin my medical work in japan, and if my zeal may be the measure of my success, I shall be abundantly so. I anticipate some ludicrous situations when 1ny practice among the serious japanese begins, all of which I will describe to you in my letters. Imagine me seated on a rug, chop-sticking rice and drinking that obnoxious, oriental beverage--tea--but sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. In affectionate haste, D. W. LEWIS. - 1899. The conduct of the telescope in this next instance is extremely remarkable. The white cottage among its foliage and flowers, like a bird in its nest, remains steady enough to be quite distinctly observed, but life about this sylvan spot seems uncertain, indeed. At one moment a lady whose features can be none other than Lucy Redmond's, stands expectautly in the door. The next moment this lady disappears and class-mate Hammond Lease is rapidly driving up the lane. The telescope struggle continues for a while, but the system of fairy-land prevails, and the opportunity for an examination of Dr. Lease is presented. The neat pony and phaeton, the iron weight at the gentle- man's feet and a medicine-case together suggest the disciple of Esculapius and a genial face indicates the success of his career. IQOS. The presidentis vocation was so well established before graduation that a guess may be ventured. His dexterity with the camera was truly remarkable, and the 66 results of his exertions were, to say the least of them, our of szlghff Witli the assist- ance of a Sophomore friend, it is said that he constructed a camera of broom sticks, bones and a counterpane, which photographed, with wonderful precision, a number of girls at a distance of three hundred feet. Can there be a doubt that his inventive talent has electrified fwzzf lc mozzzie? The fairies do. W'hen the last rosy beams of the sun have disappeared, and twilight-nature's period of communion with the Divine-has mantled the earth, the human heart is ever prone to retrospection and reverence, at his home a vesper service is being conducted in one of God's first temples, and I enter the sacred grove impressed by the fervency of the worshipers assembled. The evanescence of temporal joys is the theme of the rninister's discourse. As the light of the ascending moon falls upon Mr. Litsinger's earnest countenance, these words seemed to herald that future scene: The spider's most attenuated thread Is cord, is cable to n1an's tender thread On earthly bliss: it breaks at every breeze. 1901. A clergyman's pantry after a Hsurprisei' is one of the most interesting visits in the world, therefore, as my glass affords me one, though in the unsubstantial archi- tecture of the future, I shall not decline. On the lowest shelf a turkey of Atlantian proportions, is reclining beneath a celery bower, surrounded by the bird and rabbit nobility, while a pig elaborately dressed, though hardly IZ Zn mafia, completes the court. Mounds of delicious butter, dozens of eggs, jars of preserves, sweet meats and pickles, Qwhich latter may have a mission to fuli'ill,j pecks of rosy apples, and nuts and pota- toes, and parsnips and oranges, and i. Such an array of goodies were never seen,-but an antidote for further curiosity appears in the shape of my unconscious host, Mr. McKeever and Ella, the recipients of these testimonials of great popularity. 1896. Will Mills, the collegian, possessed the embryo characteristics of a great gymnast-a modern Hercules-who was to resist the world, the iiesh-and the King of Darkness, don't you know. But our telescopic presentation is symtomatic of synecdochical tendencies. Will has substituted the exercise of the hear! for the exercise of the body, which agile member has doubtless perfected the petty-pat system. Those scientific birds, the owls, are chorusing She is fooling thee, the frogs on yonder bank are croaking the query, Did you ever get left? but Queen Luna, by whose name so many vows have been pledged, plays a successful role for her masculine protege. Ah, Cynthia, thou dost affect man's heart as the ocean generating therein restless waves! Do not be alarmed, dear readers, I shall not portray this scene to tire the experienced or to satisfy the curious. Fancy a graceful American girl and a stalwart American lad in the phraseology of the wit, makin, fules o' themselves, and your imagination will render you the service of my telescopef Inspired by some sudden notion, they prepare for walking, and taking the direc- tion of the college, slowly pass the stores wherein, as school girls, we purchased trinkets and confections, until they reach the college hill. Proudly they look upon the Gothic chapel, with its tower outlined against the evening sky 5 upon the main build- ing, remodeled and enlarged, and upon the cupola, whose apex seems to mingle with the cirrus clouds overhead, as they wander in the grove, deserted, but for the foun- Y 1 67 tain splashing in its marble basin, and the subdued notes of drowsy birds. I-Iavi-ng seen Jane and Edna contented in each other's friendship, we leave them strolling near Alma Mater While night draws its gloomy curtain upon the scene. 1899. Intemperance in all forms is deplorable, but when through intoxicating agencies the characteristics of humanity are lost, and man becomes beast, the trans- formation is at once pitiful and repulsive, and the object regarded too frequently with incessant scorn. Such a one is a feature of this scene, a human ship wrecked on the sea of temptation, and being towed from the rocks of crime by a kindly cruiser. As Mr. Nelson leads the debauchee to the tumble-down shanty that he misnames home, followed by the taunts of his companions and the half-contemptuous glances of the passers-by, we see the continued predominance of charity in our class-mate, his voca- tion is not betrayed by any customary accompaniment, nor its success by fashionable paraphernalia, but there is that appearance of habitual benevolence which originated the sentiment, Peace on earth and good will toward men. xgoo. Inconstancy to her convictions was never found in the category of Clara Pollitt's faults-it has always been impossible to tmfn KILDU7' from her opinion at any price you can 7Z!l7!Zf6J on the face of the globe. Accordingly we find her situated in Salisbury. The hydrant'is situated in Miss Katie Smith's school-room, that theme for modern bards engaged in the aesthetic pursuits of bread-making, dish-washing and those domestic duties which appalled us school girls as phantoms of a dreadful Then. But on the principle of feminine evolution, our class-mate is as rational and contented in her performance of household requirements as when a school girl, she dreamed the dreams of inexperience, and hoped the hopes of youth as she pored over the pages of philosophy and science. Thus diverge the paths of theory and practice. rgoo. Mr. Queen was somewhat precocious in the study of matrimony, which course he began before graduation, and the proverb reconstructed by his two years' experi- ence is- Cotton and needles with which tears are mended, When a man marries his troubles are ended. Y As I turn my glass in his direction I discover, torn and crumpled, a scrap of news- paper. Its conspicuous heading greets my interested gaze. EMINENT DIVINE. Splendid Success of REV. C. L- QUEEN in His Missionary Efforts Among the Fiji Islanders. THoUsANDs FLOCK TO HEAR HIM. Formerly a Student at 'Western Maryland College. BALTIMORE,,J9.11., 1900.-The Rev. C. L. Queen preached in this city today with much success. His excellent efforts to convert the Fiji Islands are most laudable. He has now returned to rgor. The white cottage among its foliage and Bowers, like a bird in its nest, is again presented. Rather curiously, I direct my instrument to a back porch, upon which a lady is singing to the accompaniment of the guitar, at her feet a gentleman is seated, evidently enjoying the music, while Dinah, at the kitchen window, is staring, open- mouthed, at her mistress. Dinah is probably not a musical camzozlvseuff, unless a red turban and an immense cook apron are emblematic of one, but she is capable of appre- I 6 8 ciating Lucy's voice as it rises in sweet and happy melody. True, the scene is a simple and common one, but it heralds future happiness for our class-mate-what more desir- able than happiness can I prophesy for her? 1898. What's in a name? So conirmed is Helen XVimbrough in the English dramatist's theory that I do not suspect any latent hesitancy upon a proposal to change, then, again, she is a moralist of that class who advocate the origin of the ibm in the now. From these statements a syllogism naturally develops itself in the thinking mind the conclusion of which my telescope verifies. At the home of a prominent citizen of l, a banquet is in progress. The saloon is illuminated with a thousand candles and adorned with exquisite flowers, the elegance of which combination is seldom seen, save in the realms of fancy, the elaborate arrangement of the tables and the animated conversation of a fashionable clique suggest wealth and high social position on the part of the host. The hostess, half concealed by an artistic centre-piece of orchids, presides with the exquisite grace and complacency so suggestive of Helen- the class Optimist. 1896. The valedictorian was proficient alike, in mathematics, science and philosophy, but she was a scholarly miner, happiest when searching for gems in the literary strata of by-gone ages. The Bgurative meditations of Cicero, the trials of Aeneas and the sorrows of Dido, the dramas of Racine, Cornville and Schiller, and the exquisite legends of Andersen delighted her mind with their congeniality. Today we find Bettie still indulging this taste. The two sisters are sitting beneath the tall maple in front of their own home. Jennie, strong and rosy of old, is steadily sewing while she listens to her sister's translation of Ovid, or glances at the young farmer busily engaged in binding sheaves in an adjacent field. Not that I attach jhfzzftimlmf importance to Iennie's glances, but I have a lurking notion that her vitality would not endure such restraint were it not relieved by them. Bettie, on the contrary, seems to have forgotten the existence of her companion, and is building what are called air-castles, and so we leave them-one with her literary ambition, the other with her happy betrothed. 1902. The exertion with which the ladies of ,Q3 responded to Mr. Revelle's plea for assistance in the edition of a class annals threatened, pro tempore, to derange his mental faculties. However, he postponed this dire calamity upon determining, in justice to all mankind. to originate a society for the suppression of clever women. Whether this illogical idea made use of its pinions or whether its career was checked by the darts of feminine adventurers I cannot ascertain. In either case our friend has discovered the cunning practiced by the fair sex, and has taken refuge apparently in the Methodist Protestant Conference. Our telescope is directed to a plate upon the portico of a church bearing the inscription: is P an l Lafayette Avenue i M. P. Church. l Q Pastor, Rev. T. P. REVELLE, D. D. LQ Sl 69 1909. On a certain occasion Mr. Routson was heard to observe. as he discerned the sword of Orion, Twinkle, twinkle little star, to which very proper desire Miss Barnes inquisitively added, What in de debil you doin, up thar? The first verse of this edifying stanza was articulated with much tenderness, due, we supposed then, rather to circzzfzzstafzces than to any affection for the celestial bodies. However, finite suppositions are far from infallible, and the scene now presented seems to make those words prophetic. In the Princeton Observatory a gentleman is pointing his telescope to a hrst magnitude star far above the horizon. Beautiful Venus, whose course we observed so eagerly in college days, is again at Western elongation, and Professor Routson instructs the class 1911 concerning the astronomical inferiority of our com- panion planet. Before announcing the next presentation, dear readers, I will tell you a joke on Emma Shipley confidentially. She was visiting relatives, and being of a solitary turn of mind, she wandered into the woods one day to solace her pensiveness with Tenny- son's poems. On her way she encountered a cousin, who asked her to purchase some articles at the village store. I will relate what transpired at the store verbatim. Emma.-Will you please give me ten cents, worth of- Merchant.-Ah? Emma--fthoughtfullyj-I can't remember the nrst part of the word, the latter was holes. Cousin-said he particularly needed them. Merchant.-Perhaps I can help youg was it carriage bolts, - -, etc? Emma.-No! no! Merchant.-Not post holes. Emma- Qin ecstaciesj -That's it! that's it! Oh, thank you! fUproarious laughtenj Emma.-Well, have you got them? I will leave you to draw your own inferences about so unsubstantial a commis- sion. Emma says that after that occurrence Qfor it leaked out as all jokes willj the simple country folk regarded her as a being of another order. The scene has gone, my gossiping revelations have lost me any knowledge of Emma's future, save a glimpse of an imposing school-house. 1896. This scene, though of an extremely laughable character, serves only to suggest Mr. Smith's vocation. A marriage has just taken place, Mr. Smith, the clergyman of - officiating. The contracting parties have entered the seventh heaven, which state belongs essentially to the newly wedded, and the groom, actuated by generosity almost ponderous Qto him at least,j offered the clergyman a dollar for his services. His thrifty spouse, however, deeming such extravagant expenditure unwise, and probably picturing in mind a New Year's bonnet, nudged him and whis- pered. As a result, the groom thrust the dollar into his pocket, reproduced a coin somewhat less in value and bade the minister good-day Financially, Mr. Smith is very little farther on the road to wealth, but the hearty laugh which attended the countryman's exit signified a mental diversion at least. 1911, My Dem' Cazz5z'1z.'-Were I to comply with your incessant demands for 'something about myselfj I should soon fall prey to the petty sins of egotism. The excitement attending the election was great and my three weeks, judicial career, full 70 of labor and care, the drama of the court-room, is diversified into insolated acts and scenes either amusing or tragic, and connected only by the legal characters. A number of controversies as to M. jfs right to term, Mr. B. a dishonest man, or Mrs, Bfs nearer relationship than Mrs. R.'s to the deceased millionaire, etc., have been hastily settled, as all such squabbles should be. I was certainly impressed a few hours ago by the answer of a diminutive Ethiopian to an older boy who had been abusing him in very round language, after the mzzjozfmzfzz had finished an edifyiug tirade, the little darlzey responded All dem t'ings yer sey I yer's dem. I was touched with the epigramatic force of the remark, and the moral is that older and wiser people would do well to imitate it. . Affectionately, C. B. STRAVERJ' VVoman's chief charm is revealed on the cheeks of Gertrude Veasey, as she traces out the almost illegible page while she wends her way toward the huts over yonder. Let us discover the destination of the basket filled with viands and flowers with which our class-mate is laden this summer evening. A devotee to charity, she is going to minister personally to the wants of a decrepit old woman, an injured father or a sickly child, whose blessings crown a life peacefully spent in errands of mercy. 1902. It is related that the night watchman, familiar with the string-basket letter system of moonless nights, and bent upon annihilating said system, gently accosted Mr. Watson, who was the hero of some such occasion, with, I've got you. The latter gentleman rather objected to such close companionship, and informed the Watch- man that he was a member of the faculty. The watchman was so impressed by this proposition fit being a very usual situation for a professor in the wee smal hoursnj, and by the scholarly presence of our class-mate, that he released him. My telescope suggests a development of the scholarly presence in the dignified school-master of Centreville. The little lad reciting is visibly trembling as he stumbles over the Wahsatch Mountains, but the maiden at the head of the class pleasantly locates them as the professor passes the question, the visitors approve smilingly the silence which Mr. Mouse, who sees a piece of cheese in an empty desk, convulsively deplores, but the general tone of the school indicates an able though exact leadership. 1897. The excitement of a Harvard commencement reaches the culminating point, as the valedictorian advances to declaim. The young man has chosen a theme which in itself is an abstract character sketch of its author, seemingly cynical and restless before what most men reverence, there is yet a perceptible current of genuine serious- ness in the pasquinade being delivered on 'f The Existing System of Journalism. As he proceeds the audience accord him attention, given only to originality and excel- lence, and when with graceful power he pronounces the valediction, the fragrance of moving flowers mingles with applause prolonged and loud. In the mean time, the lavv of resemblance has been raising Caesar's ghost in my mind, which vanishes only when I observe W. A. Whealton printed on the program. 1930. It is believed that Blanche Wilson, in the orbit of life, reached the perihelion point fthe point nearest the soul at college, which belief magic justifies. The scene is a boudoir, hung in delicate colors, which produce a masterpiece in light and shade, and the general arrangement of the apartments brings at once to mind the exquisite taste and artistic talent of the class-mate just mentioned. A studio and gallery adjoin, through which a number of visitors are walking, a lady, somewhat in 7-1 advance of them, points out the chief beauties of a rare collection of paintings, Blanche's school-girl dreams are realized, and we stand in the presence of a famous woman. The snows of fifty winters are upon her head, and the face has lost the brilliant coloring of youth, but the lustre of the eye and the dignity of carriage declare that Time and Fame have conspired to deal kindly with her. 1902. The moon rising on the Dakota hills, reveals a curious scene, a regiment of soldiers is assembled upon one of them, stretched in true western fashion on the ground, asleep, save the sentinel, steadily marching near by. My mind reverts to Blancl1e's speech, when asked about her brother's profession, rather more forcible than grammatical-':Laws, chile, he's going out West to tight the Injinsj'-and we presume that these words were prophetic. The music of a guitar, laden with the sweetness which distance alone can give, is borne to us by breezes from future years, and with telescopic aid we spy a figure by the brooklet yonder, the proud pose of which belongs essentially to a commander. NVho can say whether Captain Wilson's thoughts are of the future, with rosy colored ambitions, or of the past, shaded with the delicious melancholy of memory. But music is the balm of such melancholyg let us think then that memories of the college life, expressed in music, are floating around those western hills. ...- if was-.

JEFQNCE upon a time, when Dame Nature was looking her loveliest and the Sep- j tember sun was shining with his majestic splendor and glory, an event , occurred which marks, and ever shall mark, the red-lettersday for YV. M. C. We Ever vivid does this grand spectacle present itself in all its magnilicence and importance to the minds of the onlookers and inhabitants of Vxfestminster. Men, women and children were hurrying to and fro donned in their ''Sunday-go-to-meetins,'' the NV. police force had come out, strong and mighty in a new hat, long coat adorned and beautilied by the loveliest and cutest of brass buttons, with a club and brace of pistols to secure order and, if possible, to make some sort of passage, that the anxiously awaited train might make her advent without crushing the inhabitants, thereby making grease spots on the cleanly swept railroad platform. A faint sound is heard in the distance, and all divine at the same moment that it is the receptacle which bears the precious mortals of whom they are longing to get a sight. Then there goes up such a shout from the throats of that loyal, wise and intelligent populace as was never heard in the beautiful and quiet city of Vlfestmin- ster. Some of the residents of Baltimore say it thundered, while in all the neigh- boring towns and hamlets there was broken glass in abundance, caused by the vibrations of that mighty shout. And now the snorting and whizzing and clanging announces that the iron horse, with its costly and precious freight, has turned the bend and will soon be upon them. Make room, shouts the militia with his powerful voice, make room, unless you want to be angelsft We will remain where we are, for we indeed consider it a small thing to lay down our worthless bodies in View of obtaining such honor and renown as shall be handed down to posterity. The captain pleaded and pleaded, but in vain. Not a soul stirred, and in that awful moment, when nought could be heard save the fast-approaching wheels, the lives of those heroic souls were not worth half as much as Billie's plugged quarter, which he has been trying to pass on everybody for the last month. As a last means of argument, our worthy enforcer of the law, with a calm and resigned countenance, bared his pate, and then from his lips there did come forth this appeal: Oh, ye citizens of W., know ye not that those in whose honor ye are here assembled will be extremely sorrowful when they behold you mingled with the 83 dust? Therefore, come off the track and join the countless host who stand here ready to receive them. At the mention of giving sorrow to any of ,94-for you have long since divined the occupants of the coming train-they with one accord got a move onto themselves just in time to avoid being kicked od by an iron boot. VVith a jerk, a rattle, a sizz, a clank and a bang the whole train is brought to a standstill, and thenille gods, what a sight to behold! From that dirty and soot- begrimed coach there stepped forth fifty-six of the finest specimens of humanity mortal eye ever beheld, tongue ever expressed or pen ever described. The mob went into ecstasies! Pistols were Bred! Thompson let out his coaches free of charge for the memorable occasion, tcharging sz for the use of the whip.j The shops were opened and put at the disposal of theepeople to show their appreciation of the honor done them. Dr. Lewis, our worthy president, with a tear in his eye and a tremor in his voice, or, in otl1er words, a frog in his throat, exclaimed: Oh, W. M. C, happy indeed art thou to be the recipient of this immortal band. Then the band ascended the old hill, and soon were made happy and welcome by all in the large and capacious dining-hall with a delicious and plentiful supply of good and wholesome food. In the meantime the mob dispersed to their respective homes to further discuss the event and its most pleasing outcome. Let us hastily pass over the trials and calamities we endured for a while. The Sophs held supreme sway, and we settled down into apparently peaceful Freshmen. Apparently peaceful, I say, for beneath our benign and calm countenances there was Night. The lion was there dormant. VVe had discovered our courage when We spent the irst night in old YVard Hall, where we had slain in triumph the other occupants of our domicile. The Sophs hold the fort. The Freshies hold their loose change and inwardly smile, as they think of the funerals they will have the pleasure of attending bye-and-bye. As time goes on there are mysterious gatherings here and there, and it needs not the aid of one skilled in the art of thaumaturgy to inform one that something is in the wind. Trouble is brewing. Everywhere you hear Whispered Hefhgyli' eHigy! In vain do the Sophs endeavor to get at the date of the cremation of Sallust. That worthyls ashes would have been laid away in peace, his last mortal remains, donned in'Soph pantaloons, would have passed away in dignified and reverent silence had not one of our own gallant classmen acted in the following manner: Now, it carne about by chance that on a certain night in june, r89r, a Soph and a Freshman did occupy the same couch The Fresh stole silently into the room and retired before the Soph concluded to place his carcass under the influence of Morpheus. Our poor- Fresh had his cranium so loaded with plans and his poor frame was so weary from perambulating about trying to rob some Soph of his clothing that he succumbed immediately to gentle sleep, and he did therein give vent to mutterings, to which the traitorous Soph did listen. The traitor did rise in his eagerness to a sitting posture, and thereby he did bring the great toe of his pedal extremity within range of the understandings of his victim. Hal muttereth the traitor, thou goest to bed with thy sandals on, dost thou? Forthwith he lighteth a match and creepeth to the reclining form, slowly and cau- tiously doth he haul down the scanty covering, when, lo and behold! the Fresh- man is revealed, minus no clothing save his hat, and this, it was afterward discovered, S4 was in his trouser pocket. Then the traitor sayeth not a word, but goeth and gathereth together his army and stationeth them in convenient quarters to be had at a moment's notice. Then he goeth again to bed, and lying down he doth play possumf' After a little while our Freshman doth arise and stealeth from his re- treat, followed at a little distance by the enemy. Oh, poor deluded mortal, couldlst thou but discern those large and bulky figures which the trees and grass conceal, thy heart within thy bosom would be turned to stone. Silence reigns. Hark! what is this which doth appear? Two forms become visible, and between tl1em they bear something which doth resemble that of a man. Oh, ye gods! can it be that a murder has been committed? Hush, foolish heart, it is only Sallust, whose cremation takes place on this evening. And now forms of loyal Freshmen are seen standing near with blood in their eye and murder stamped every- where upon their countenance. First Hangman Stemm mounts the tree, and forthwith preparations are made round about. Each has his work to do, and all do it as if by magic. No orders are given, for all have been previously instructed, and each girds himself for the labor. All is now in readiness and Sheriff Baker has taken his stand. Orator Sagn now removes his head-gear, and the solemn awe that there reigns penetrates even the hardened and cruel hearts of the hidden foe. The Freshies look around them to make sure that no treachery is being used, and they discover in the darkness that there are more souls than their own. All would have been confusion and alarm, but for the deep voice of the lion-hearted Cale, who pronounces the magic word '92. Then we knew all was safe, for the gallant and magnanimous class of jolly juniors had joined the festival. Now all things are ready. The signal is given, the torch applied. Now the voice of our orator rises. high and clear, and far and wide do the iiames shoot out their light. Now comes our Sophomore experience. Oh, how we would like to domineer over those Freshmen. But, as our number has been diminished and as the number of Freshies is so great, it behooves us to hold our peace. There were twelve of us on the male side, known as the twelve disciples, but judas forsook us, and the11 there were only eleven. Oh, what is there that can not be said of this band? Dame Rumor states that although the intelligent folks are contained in '94, yet one of those intelligent ones did go down town and try to draw water from a pump-stock in,front of an agricultural store, and also that, although being skilled horsemen, one was violently thrown. Yes, these things are true, but the commit- tee which was appointed to investigate the matter made the report that on the one hand the pump did look wonderfully real, and so an excuse was acceptable, and on the other hand, that the horse which bucked was a foreign animal, which had been reared by a foreign master, and did not understand the manners of an Ameri- can. Let us say that with a few more scrimmages we passed our Soph year well pleased with ourselves. Mirabile Dictul Now we are juniors! May we have as pleasant a time in the future as we have had in the past. So far we have redeemed ourselves in the eyes of ,93- At our banquet, which we had the pleasure of holding in their honor, the right hand of fellowship was given, which bound us together forever.

WVho would have thought that these innocent, homesick little creatures would in time form the illustrious class of '95? With what wonder did they listen to the alarming tales as told by older and experienced students! What was the efiigy and why should two classes iight over it? Xvhich society must I join, and I wonder a dismal and forlorn-looking crowd of young people it was that arrived ll ffl Q, ll 'what the other one will say to losing so valuable a worker? These are a few ofthe many problems which harass the mind of the new student on entering college, and which, to many, are very difficult to solve. As the year rolled on we gradually lost some of our former timidity, and even became so brave as to smile at one another across the dining-hall, and after longing for Home, Sweet Home, until, finding that with all our longing it did not draw any nearer, we finally abandoned all such thoughts, and sought that peace and rest which we felt sure would come, even in Smith and Ward Halls, in the pursuance of our studies. So vacation rolled around, as it always does, at the same time lvringing to a close our Freshman year. But, before casting off the nom de plume of Freshmen and assuming the more dignified one of Sophomores, we wished to climax our first year by an event which would overshadow all previous ones, this was the burning of the Efligy. ,QS was always known to be original in her ideas, and forming some new, never-before.-thought-of plan, so not on Friday night, as had been the custom with the preceding classes, ,did we cremate Mr. Nepos, but we kept the poor Cthenj Sophs. in anxiety, and out of bed watching for the first glare of the effigy. But it did not come, another night was thus spent by the restless Sophs. On Sunday night they retired to rest. About 2 o'clock the next morning, when the '94's were snoring away on their easy couches, Cb sg s, a- formula not found in chemistry, meaning two bed-slats to one straw,j they were disturbed from their peaceful slumbers by a brilliant light, rivaling in splendor the magnificent Aurora, and the yell of '95 which was given a great many times for the purpose of letting the Sophs. know what was going on and giving them the privilege of preventing the same. But they did not come on forbidden ground, only peering 'round the corner of Hering Hall, far en.ough to see the display QI of fireworks. The curtain then fell on this the last act of the play Freshman, per- formed one College Hill by the class of ,QS in the presence of ,94. Everybody was now ready for the- vacation which they had so nobly earned. Yet, when the time came for the opening of the next year's work, ,QS was in line. Some were missing whom we would have been glad to have seen with us again, and on the other hand, several new arrivals whom we were pleased to welcome as class- mates. Affairs having been set to rights and everything once more in working order, the next thing on our program was a class meeting. Some wanted it at a certain time, others didn't. Accordingly, we had it at an uncertain time. It was announced by the president in afternoon chapel that there would be a joint meeting of the Sophomore class on that afternoon. And there was a joint meeting, for they became so tangled up and discmyflofazbobemmi that you could hardly tell which from t'other. This was before the business had begun, but when that was in order, every one, individually, immediately, completely disentangled himself, or herself, so that he or she might know who he or she was, and for whom he or she was to cast his or her vote. After several interruptions on the part of the lady teachers, we succeeded in getting matters in such a state that we could adjourn sine die, which we did. Hallow E'en comes but once a year, and ,QS being aware of that fact did not let the professors remain long in ignorance of the same. For on their return to their abode after supper, they found Ward Hall so completely barricaded that they could not effect an entrance. The students were allowed to enter by the fire escape, but not until long after ringing of the bell for study-hour could the unfortunate professors gain admission. This was the night for great rejoicing among the students, but it was far different on the following Friday after the faculty meeting. Ask some of the third hall boys about 6x50-lego, Qpay for one night's work.j Certainly, a great deal of attention is shown the class of '95-probably more than any other on the hill. In the first place, that august assembly, the faculty, doubtless spends more time on Friday afternoon for the sole purpose of giving what they think merited demerits to the Sophomore class than to all the other classes combined, but it must be remembered that our's is not the smallest class at W. M. C.-nor the worst one either. Should we not consider it an honor that we receive so much attention? And the dignified Senior as well as the humble Prep. feels the importance of'95. For who else except ,QS will the Seniors take.the time for a match game of ball, and who is it dares to race the ball which dignity has misthrown on forbidden ground, unless it is some one of '96? And the lower classes look up to us for everything, even a dress in which to burn their efiigy. Either on the field or in the gymnasium we can hold our own. It is true we did not win in the series of games for the championship last commencement weekg but We made 793 work for it, winning one of the three and having to play off a tie in the score for the decision in the second. However, the first part of this year we won in games which we played against the rest of the school. We could not have a game with the Seniors alone, they always having some excuse. In the athletic contest held in the gymnasium on the roth of December, ,92, several of our boys took part, one of them standing third place. D Q2 And now for some of the individual talent of our class. The first thing that comes to 1ny ear is the musical notes of some stray member of the Glee Club, wafted to me from the further e11d of Sophomore Hall. How it fills you with a desire to be some place else and a longing for home! How you would like to have his company just long enough to get rid of it, by gently tossing him from the hall window-not to hurt him, but to merely lower his tone. But truly, we have some very good musicians among us. Several of our boys are members of the College Glee Club, one of whom sings falsetto, and another second tenor. The Y. M. C. A. organist is also a ,QS man. YVe have so little chance of learning what our fairer members can do-but even now, sitting in the library, I hear the melodious strains of some fair damsel's voice, gently floating toward me from the hall of celestial beings, and from the richness and fullness of tone, I fancy it is none other than a ,Q5,S. Methinks I can all but see her with her music sheet before her, gently tapping time with a broom-stick, until a door suddenly opens and all has vanished, save the shadow on the Hoor. If you had but chanced to enter the sanctum of the Editor-in-Chief of the College monthly for the term '92-'93, you would have been in none other than the room of a member of ,95. Great success attended him in this as in everythiug else, so that now he is regarded as one of the ideals of the college in this line of work. And at the present time one of our Sophomore girls is a member of the staff. Now, while the twilight is approaching and the evening is fast drawing near, the writer would quietly and without flourish, lay aside his pen and close his imperfect history ofthe class of '95. Whether it is entirely accurate, we will not sayg but leaving the inference to be drawn by the reader that we are not wholly bad and possessed of many good traits-chief among which are the strong attachment which the, one bears to the other, and the indissoluhle bond which will remain intact as we shall grow older and enter the plain upon' the dizzy heights of the promised land of Seniordom ahead--we will kindly bid the reader adieu, reminding him that if he seeks perfection he will not End it in us, but that if he is looking for honest imper- fections and unrewarded zeal, let him give his days and nights to the study of beings not inhabitants of this globe, and natures not prone to the ills of the Hesh.

HAVE been called upon to give an account of the Class of '96 and the IS most important events that have occurred in its history. It gives us great Q pleasure to place on record the deeds of so famous a class as '96, but at the g Q!9Q? J same time we feel that such humble scribes have 11Ot the ability to give a sufficiently glowing description of all the great battles and other minor events, and most of all, we fear that we cannot enumerate all the merits and demerits, which justly belong to '96, Its career has been a most eventful oneg and to begin with, we may safely say that the Class of '96 is by far the most renowned and illustrious class that has ever existed at W. M. C.-excepting those who have gone before. To give a just account we must go back to the beginning of its organization. All ancient history is uncertain- mixed up with mythology and such stuff-but the history of things that are transpiring at the present time contains nothing but facts, and what we want is fzzcz's,,' says the worthy Mr. Gradgrind. This class began its remarkable career on the ides of September, in the year of Our Lord, 1892. Though few in yfearsj-two to a man-it is old in wisdom and glory. Its fame has penetrated to the farthest corners of the globe, from the Atlantic to the Pacihc, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, it has ever been noted for its bravery and its readiness at all times to enter any enterprise, however perilous, that would reflect renown and glory upon it. The Class of '96 is represented in every worthy enterprise that is undertaken at W. M. C. It furnishes excellent material for the athletic sports. And as to music- the musical talent displayed by some of the members of '96 is without limit. Should you by chance Wander out upon the second floor of Ward Hall, between 9.15 and 9.45 P. M., the sweet strains of the violin would greet your ear on the one side, and the melodious notes of the flute on the other. The dealings of the Class of ,96 are principally with a band of silly beings who style themselves the Class of JQSQ they think themselves highly cultured. These Sophs., as they are sometimes called, are mortal enemies of the class of '96, and are constantly striving to devise some plan by which they can harm it, but in this they are sadly mistaken, for '96 is ready at any time to defend itself. They also have an incorrect impression that they have the authority to dictate to us, and have even gone so far as to attempt to prevent us from enjoying certain privileges which we possess by right. 99 This class of Sophs., failing to End any other means of bringing harm upon '96, resolved to make War upon us. They held divers mysterious meetings. which we after- wards found out were counsels of war. These meetings were held for the purpose of Ending the best way to make an attack upon us. The members of '96 were perfectly aware that their intentions were hostile, though totally ignorant of any offensive move- ment on their part. T One day in the month of November, as we were proceeding on our way to a recita- tion, we saw the enemy take up a position and await our coming. It seems that they had just come from the same recitation-roo.n to which we were going, and seeing us, had resolved to take this time to make their attack upon us. We came to a halt to deliberate upon what they were going to do, and they supposing that fear had seized the hearts and minds of our forces, began to advance. They increased their speed to a rush, and fell upon both Hanksg but this measure of their's had no effect, for our boys at one end were zz!! good and those at the other stood like sfozze. Our forces, becoming aware by this time of what they were trying to do, turned upon them with such impetuosity that the cowardly enemy immediately retreated, leaving three of their number wounded and bleeding upon the scene of action. Not having any use for our Worthless captives, we set them free. Thus this great battle resulted victoriously for '96. Is not this enough to verify our strength in arms? If not, we invite them at any time to test their prowess. Since this inglorious defeat they have not essayed to trouble us. except one or two occasions, when they attempted to prevent us from giving the yell. It is the custom for the class of '96 to do this on state occasions, or whenever we have any extraordinary exuberance of spirits. The way in which they try to do this is quite amusing. Having assembled in some suitable place, we proceed to give the yell, when they crowd around and set up the most savage howling, thinking that our voices will be drowned in the great uproar. But high above the general tumult can be heard the yell for the Class of '96. ' It is said that they entertain great hopes of thwarting us in burning our eihgy. But on this point they are again mistaken. . We think the foregoing will suihciently show to the world at large how very much superior the class of '96 is to the classiof ,Q5. It has been said that battles are the delight of an historian, and without them this history will be rather dry. To have battles, our enemy must be brave enough to ight. But this is not the case as has been shown. Therefore, we have not had many battles, and it follows from this that the above brief history will be rather dry.

Ol ii' QL Theological Seminary of the Methodist Protestant Church '13 may be regarded as having existed at least for ten years, although not under this name, for it is, in fact, the same institution for the organization of which, under the title of Tha School of Theology, the hrst steps were taken by the Maryland Annual Conference, at its session in Cumberland, Md., March, IS8I. Up to that time, young men of the M. P. church, preparing for the ministry, had no opportunity of obtaining full theological training in ally school of said church east of the Alleghany mountains. The nearest ap- proach to such opportunity for them was by attending W'estern Maryland College, which was established under the auspices of the Conference, and had a depart- ment for such instruction in theological studies as could be pursued in connection with the usual college course. But it afforded insufficient training in this depart- ment. The Committee of the Conference of 1881, on XVestern Maryland College, reported thus: There seems to bei' a growing 11eed for an early provision to be made to teach systematic theology. The better class of students who are candi- dates for the Christian ministry, are now becoming ambitious for a scholastic theo- logical training 4' 'K NVe are confident that satisfactory arrangements can be made to meet this need if if if and therefore urge upon the Conference to take the initiatory steps towards that end. The report was adopted, and the following resolution, offered by Rev. Dr. L. VV. Bates, passed: Resolved, That Dr. I. T. Murray, Rev. P. L. Wilson and Dr. Charles Billingslea, be a Committee to report some plan by which systematic theology may be taught the graduates of XVestern Maryland College who are preparing for tl1e Christian ministry, and report the same to the next session of this Conference. At the session of the Conference, held in the Broadway church, Baltimore, in March, 1882, the Committee made a report, which was adopted, recommending the immediate commencement of arrangements for a School of Theology to meet the need of the church. Rev. T. H. Lewis was elected to be the Principal of said school, and directed to enter at once upon his duties in such preparatory work as shall enable him to organize and commence the course of instruction in the School of Theology at the beginning -of the collegiate year, in September, 1882. - In pursuance of these instructions, the Principal proceeded to organize a Faculty, and secured the co-operation of Rev. I. T. VVard, D. D., for the department of Systematic Theology, and Rev. I. T. Murray, D. D., for the department of Pastoral Theology. who, together with the Principal, should constitute the resident Faculty, 211151, for the present, the Board of Management. 133 Provision was also made for the Chair of New Testament Exegesis and Ecclesi- astical Greek. The next step in organizing was to secure a suitable building. By the liberal co-operation of the Board of Trustees of Western Maryland College, the Manage- ment was able to proceed at once with the erection of a building for the special uses of the School of Theology, located in the city of Westminster, Maryland, the seat of W'estern Maryland College, and adjoining the grounds of that institution. At the session of the Conference held in Westminster, March, 1883, the Princi- pal of the School of Theology having reported that it was found to be altogether impracticable that the school should be carried on as a department of the college, it was recommended by the Conference Committee that our Theological school be known as ' The Tf'Vesz'mz'7zsz'e1f Theologiml Semifzafjf of the Ilf P. Ck7l7'Ch,' and that the Conference appoint three ministers and two laymen, who shall act as a Board of Governors of said Theological Seminary, whose duty it shall be, in con- nection with the Principal of said seminary, and until further authorized by an Act of Incorporation, to superintend all matters relating to the interest of said institutionf, This recommendation was adopted by the Conference, and an Act of Incor- poration was obtained from the General Assembly of Maryland, approved April 8, 1884. E The iirst annual catalogue of VVestminster Theological Seminary announced as the Board of Governors: REV. L. W. BATES, D. D., President, REV- I- D- KINZER, Secretary, DR. J. W.

I34 The result of the first year's work proved very satisfactory, as has that of each succeeding year, with plans enlarged and improved as circumstances required from year to year. The whole number of students enrolled as seminarians has been 1o5. The number of graduates, 34. Rev. Dr. Lewis was continued in the Presidency of the Seminary until June, 1886, when he was elected by the Board of Trustees to succeed Rev. Dr. Ward, who had resigned as President of Western Maryland Collegeg and Dr. Ward was elected by the Board of Governors to the Presidency of the Seminary, which posi- tion he still fills. The Stvehfozz 5x0L'l'6'ZfjfH of the Seminary was formed November xoth, 1883, and so named in honor of the memory of Rev. Thomas H. Stockton of Philadelphia, a distinguished pulpit orator of the Methodist Protestant Church, who died in 1868, in the 6oth year of his age. The I-ih.S5Z.07l1Z7jf A!!Z'HllCE,' of the Seminary meets on the last Friday of each month, for exercises promotive of the cause of Missions, home and foreign. The Lzhrrzfjf of the Seminary contains about zooo volumes, mostly of a religious character, contributed by friends of the institution. Among the most prominent con- tributions are valuable works which once formed part of the libraries of Rev. Alexander McRaine, Rev. Thomas'McCormick, and Rev. Augustus Webster, D. D., who were eminent fathers of the Methodist Protestant Church. The .P7'0fL'7'Qf of the Seminary, building and grounds Clive acresl, is estimated at 36,5oo. The building is heated by steam, and supplied with water from the city Water works, By an arrangement with Westerii Maryland College, students of the Seminary have the privilege of pursuing such studies of the college as they need in their preparation for the ministry, in addition to those of the Seminary. Students of the Seminary have their rooms in the building, but take their meals at the college, and register their names there as boarders. They are also expected to co-operate in the religious meetings at the college, when Seminary duties do not inter- fere. The scholastic year embraces three terms, known as the fall, winter and spring terms, corresponding with the same at college, and the times of vacation are also the same at both institutions. 135 STOQRTOH.

SCHLINCKE 140 Young lVieig's Christian iissociatioig Young Men's Christian Association, judging from its membership and achieve- Qifgiheg ments, is the strongest organization in the college. And why not? Its aim is the highest, its benefits the most valuable, and its results the most lasting. In Fail? the Y. M. C A. halls men of different societies meet as brothers, because here their interest is a common one. And in consequence of this united effort the association has been able each year to reach out and enlarge its sphere of activity. Officers are elected twice a year-in january and in june, there are, consequently, two sets of committees in one year, which arrangement divides the work to a better advantage. Two prayer meetings are held each week under the direction of different committees one exclusively for young men on XVedneday evening, and the other on Sunday after- noon with the Y. W. C. A. in the college chapel. The jail and alms-house committees visit those places weekly and hold prayer meet- ings, which have been productive of much good. For the last two years the association has sent two men to New York to engage in city mission work during the summer vacation. This privilege costs two hundred dollars a year. For last summer two hundred and fifty dollars were raised, and in addition to the New York work two delegates were sent to the VVorld's Students, Con- ference at Northfield Mass. Messrs. Revelle and Litsinger were the men selected for city missions. They were assigned by the secretary of the general movement to St. Bartholomew's Mission-the largest rescue mission in the 'world-under the supervision of Col. H, H. Hadley. During the last month, while the superintendent was on his vacation, the boys had full charge of the mission and the experience was one of great value to them. Over two hundred and fifty drunkards professed conversion in the summer. Northfield is so widely known that it is useless to say that Gilbert and Nowlin spent a pleasant and profitable time up there. The Bible classes there are the very best, and the lectures fseveral a dayj by some of the most able Christian workers in the world. Mr. Moody has general supervision of the conference. Vkflien college opened last September the Y. M. C. A. found new quarters awaiting it, in a building erected during the summer. These rooms have been nicely furnished -Brussels carpet, opera chairs, etc., in the audience-room-at a cost of about four hundred dollars, which amount has been contributed by the association and some of its friends. 141 Young Woroeos Christioo Association OFFICERS.

I42 Young Womeijs Christian Association. prepares human individuals for life, and by clothing them with ymiy the garments of humility and love, puts upon them the vesture which endures ill 'll l .wifi as long as the life blood flows through the veins. Its tendency is to elevate m'en and women by forcing upon them a profound truth leading them to inquire into the deeper knowledge pertaining to the infinite God. The mind and soul though not identical, are, however, very closely related, and to train the one and not the other is to develop an imperfect intellect, since religion itself is knowledge, and knowledge of the truest type. Undoubtedly this self evident truth first suggested the idea of organizing a Young Womer1's Christian Association at Western' Maryland College, an organization which has served as a means in drawing souls to God. At the beginning of the scholastic year a reception is held for the new students, they are invited to attend our meeting and to join our association. Prayer-meetings are held twice a week, Tuesday evening and Sunday afternoon. The Y. VV. C. A. of our school can do very little in the great work which branches in some places have undertaken, but it can prepare us for the life which we shall live after leaving school. The international committee of the association is collecting souvenirs for the World's Fair and requested something from us. We have sent them copies of our hymn books, topic cards, and two photographs of our association room with the mem- bers seated just as they would be when we hold prayer-meetings. Truly there is a work for every oneg a diversity of talents is required in order to make a complete organization, and on the same principle much work must promote a material interest in the general welfare of the association and its established interests. L0ve one another even as I have loved you was Christ's command, so loving and working one with another as sisters in the household of God, we shall make the Y. W. C. A. a blessing wherever it is found. When we shall say farewell to our dear,Alma Mater, when we break the bonds which have bound us here for four years, the severing of none will give us more pain than the one which united us a Christian band. 143 Y.

Womai1's Christian Temperance Union, of XVestern Maryland College, was organized in the college auditorium, October 17, 1891, by delegates from the fd convention then being held in XVestminster, Md. As it was a branch of the 2? NV. C. T. U., and composed mainly of younger members, we were advised to call it the Y, instead of Y. W. C. T. U. The membership is confined not to the young ladies ofthe college, for they are glad to welcome as associate members the young gentlemen who are willing to take the pledge and don the White ribbon. The Y was organized with a membership of forty-three active, and thirty-one associate members. The pledge, which all persons becoming members are requested to sign, reads as follows: ' I hereby solemnly promise, God helping me, to abstain from all distilled, fer- mented and malt liquors, including wine and cider, except in cases of absolute necessity in case of illness, and to employ all proper means to discourage the use of and traiiic in the same. ' Any person may become a member by signing the pledge and by paying hfty cents annually into the treasury. One-half the receipts are sent to the State Union, and the remainder is expended by the Y members as they deem best. Last year it was given to the young men vvho went to New York fcr the purpose of engaging in summer mission work. The business meetings of the organization are held on the second Saturday of each month. Besides these there are, during the scholastic year, three social meetings, two of which are given under the supervision of the active members and one under the direction ofthe associates. The literary exercises consist in the main of strictly tem- perance selections. i Oflicers are elected in May for the ensuing year. 145 X x , 0 'X -E+ f 5.55 I XL . mc , I 'N -1 9 ,ii-,Xxx S-.

HAT is a college without its necessary accompaniments and organizations? The old College Glee Club had disbanded on account of most of its mem- Ei f? bers graduating from college. A few men in the year 1891, feeling the necessity of a glee club organized one which worried every inmate of the college, and even put a blush upon the cheek of our feline serenaders, who, by the Way, soon disappeared after our formation, and our club were monarchs of College Hill. ' After much toil and many discouraging remarks regarding our future, we suc- ceeded in organizing the voices and prepared to make our rlcfbui Our charter mem- bers were as follows: W. B.

However, we gave concerts only at a few places, as we were, as are all beginners, doubtful of our undertaking, but we won the approval of all who.heard us and felt fully repaid for our exertion. Since which time we have been active in every way possible to a college glee clubg besides furnishing music at all meetings ofthe Y. M. C. A. and participating in other concerts in addition to our own. C Vie still retain five of our charter mernbersg and though the graduation of ,QS will deprive our club of quite a number, we predict a brilliant future for this youth- ful organization. XVhile we are not world-renowned, yet we feel sure that the club which has upheld her Alma Mater and also won many outside friends and is still prospering, will in the future add another crown to those laurels already won, illing the hearts of her exactives with admiration, and ever be an honor to dear, old Western Maryland.

Hitherto the spirit of youthful innocence had characterized our field sports, ti? 5 and the mad, tempestuous rush of Foot Ball Was to our untutored simplicity 39 but a creature of the imagination. But, with the opening of the fall term, a new era in athletics seemed to dawn upon Westerii Maryland. Arousing from her lethargic slumbers, she suddenly became fully awake to the fact that this most popu- lar game was as yet a stranger within her borders. Conviction was but the parent of action. and soon the inflated oblate spheroid was to be seen bounding over her ample grounds. And then began the metamorphosis. Tennis rackets were thrown aside in disgust at their quiet, gentle innocence. Even base ball grew strangely unpopular, and its once ardent euthusiasts thronged eagerly to the foot ball ground. Here a howling mob in frantic eagerness chased a luckless bit of leather from goal to goal. Ignorance of the game excused no one, and enthusiasm fully atoned for inexperience. Our athletes were clad in new costumes and spoke in a different tongue. Our ances- tral slang became obsolete, and the more pithy foot ball terms were at once substituted. Even long hair came suddenly into fashion, and the college barber took in his sign. True, indeed, many physiognomies suffered from violent collisions, and the grand march to chapel exercises revealed a variety of limps and hops well-nigh distracting our pianist and defying the most complicated time relations produced by the ablest composers. Still our zeal did not lag, and we eagerly scanned the physique of every entering freshman, as he innocently knocked at our doors for admission. Material in abundance was found, but in the crude state it was such that neither one season nor two could bind it firmly together into the one necessary unit of power. We claim no superior excellence for our foot ball team, but we are not ashamed of our beginning, and are confident that, once nrmly established, our college will win no meagre honors in this department. 159 MILLER MILLS STULL PENNINGTON FERGUSON LEWIS GALBREATH FORSYTHE STORY GREEN GILBERT SELLMAN LEAS WESTERN VVESTERN WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN A EHSEAEHLL A SEASON OF '92.

And just as we did glue our lips To take a kiss so sweet, Her Pa stepped in and broke the grip, For he brought his great big feetg They flew right out and fiercely fell, And made the biggest hit, And now my tale of woe I'll tell: I am saddest when I sit. I7I f Jaixnaa aanoaer. ACCORDANCE with a time honored custom, ,93, early in her junior year, gi decided to give a banquet in honor of the seniors. And having so decided, to keep up her reputation, she must make it to far surpass anything of the kind before given at the college. And well she succeeded. It was a grand affair. Even the picture of it that memory presents now so long after, we hesitate to attempt to describe. V ' At the appointed time, 792, accompanied by Miss Ross preceptress, Dr. Reese acting president, and Dr. Lewis president of the college, came up to the library from the parlor and were received by 593. All mingled together for a while in merry converseg and it was a pretty sight. One could but feel proud that he belonged to such a company. The girls were cMz1'1fzz'11g, and the boys, basking in the joyous sunlight of their smiles, revealed in their faces the feeling which comes from nothing less than a perfect delight. Soon after the escorts had been assigned, the company proceeded to the banquet hall. But here our pen fails usg for only the pen of an Irving or the delicate brush of a Xeuxis or a Parrhassius would be adequate for the occasion. Thanks to the exquisite taste of our girlsgu the usually dingy hall had been wondrously transformed. Rich folds of yellow and blue drapery c,92,S colorsj hung over the windows and decorated the ceiling. The monotonous white wall was relieved by beautiful pictures and other hangings. As to the table, prettily lit with blue and yellow candles, the neatly engraved menu cards with what they represented, suffice it to say everything was in perfect order and the latest style. The menu was indeed elaborate, the caterer at his best and the music of the orchestra sublime. Miss Clift, hostess, presided in a most graceful manner. ' 172 The favors were gold toothpicks for the gentlemen and glove-buttoners for the lady guests, each one engraved ,Q3 to ,Q2.H The first toast proposed was, of course, to the Class of '92 by Mr. Litsinger, yQ3,S president. Mr. johnson, president of '92, responded with a neat little speech which he closed by suggesting a toast to 793. Historian pro ffm. ,Q3 Mr. Wilson, offered a toast to the college which called forth a response from Dr. Lewis, who had just returned from a trip around the world. Dr. Reese was the next subject of our well wishes, proposed by Mr. Strayer, YQ3. The Doctor responded in one of his interesting speeches which was much enjoyed. But all such occasions, however much enjoyed must come to an end. Having adjourned to the library and bidden our guests good night, we retired to our own rooms, well satisfied for having far excelled all other similar affairs the custom has ever known. giigidtx ips, 11? s Reg HQ f Qll at ' N Wt i f 4 t W7 N r NA' 'f ,, f mis I yffkigrrfl , cf- ftffwiil ii LA ffiw , hug , 2' 6 ,fflg i , 1 'Q' , A tlllyHV asfmug ' i Fit! 7 U 7 viii it iii lj NJ!

I'll tell you of a lady fair, With hazel eyes and light brown hair, 'Who came to college here one day, About four years ago they say. Among the freshmen she was classed, With all her graces unsurpassed. Came back a sophomore next fall, And roomed with Bessie on Rear Hall. This fair sweet one was quite a belle, Of all her strikes ask Bess to tell, For this one too, was bright and gay, And much admired, .as well she may. There came to her a sad, sad day, For Bess, her roommate, left to stay, For near three years they'd been together From all I know they loved each other. Then came the crowning point of all, And now she rooms 011 Senior Hail, You see her sometimes on the walk, And with her scllool-mates hear her talk. Sometimes she wears the senior train, Whene'er she does, ,tis sure to rain, So say two boys in I-Iei-ing Hall, Who with this maid in love did fall. They too are seniors, all in all, The one is short, the other tall, Their names Iilll sure you know quite well Are Messrs. Strayer and Revelle. She has such cunning little ways, And with these boys she smiles and plays, And which of them she loves the better, I cannot tell, so I will let her, Her college days will soon be o'er, Then she will leave this western shore For home, which is to her so dear, In Pocomoke, I chance to hear. 180 The day of parting Comes in june, To all her seliool-mates far too soon, 'Twill leave the iueui'1-ies of past pleasures That to their hearts are as great treasures. 'l'hey'll be recalled in after days, When this maid's name is sung in praise, VVho, while within her cozy home, Pei-chance her thoughts to us will roam. Now to this maid I do wish well, Should her lot be to wed Revelle, She'd make a lovely preael1er's wife, And make him happy all through life. And yet that may 11Ot he her fate, She may wed Strayer, 'tis not too late. 1,111 sure a lawyer she could please, They'd be content and live at ease. To guess her name it is quite easy, It is the much-loved Gertrude Veasey. YK 0 0 ' jf, f Y K 'arg .Y A Story.

Every- body endeavors to laugh the loudest, whereupon several tens are awarded: VVhen I went up the Hudson- Mr. Lewis, please give me that paper you have in your hand, you may read it after class. As I was saying, when' I Went up the Hudson, I- Mr. Galt, have you found your book yet? Galt-UNO, sir. Well, I hardly see how you expect to pass in examination without it. jack looks at Leas and says softly: Neither do I, wiikozzz' z't. r When I Went up the Hudson, I had an excellent opportunity of examining the columnar structure of the Palisades. Only the eye of a GREAT MAN can detect the delicate and almost obliterated structure of these rocks. It is not probable that any in the class could do so immediatelyf' Class feel complimented. But just here do you all have a distinct and definite idea of how this old world of ours was formed. But now I have here in my hands some peculiar rock formationsg can any one in the class tell me how they differ from those We have just examined? All look Wise especially Queen, but no one offers an explanation. This, then, is gneissg it's a nice specimen of gneissf' This other is schist. Schist is' allied to gneiss in that it is metamorphic. Schzkt look at this gneiss rock. Class begin to smile. There BEGINNING the recitation today, I think it is quite important that you per- XF l 189 is nothing to laugh at, gentlemen, some of you already have a number of zeros against you this term. At this point in the lesson I have a beautiful piece of poetry I wish to read you inspired by the impress ot' that little tern on this rock. It is full of poetical sentiment and I thinl: it is quite gfrancl. One ol' the boys has reproduced it as follows: Molly tlzty, thou little fern. 'tilmu lmst never graced nn urn llut an impress thou tliclst burn In the solid rock. Of the ages that have rolled, Oler this earth so bleak and cold, Since to light thou didst unfold, Nature holds the lock. 'Q It is of more importance, however, that you clearly see how this great World of ours has been constructed, and think what a wonderful old book it is, with its pages, chapters and volumes revealing to us the mysteries of untold ages:-Gentlemen, what great disturbance occurred at the end of the Paleozoic era?'l Class- The upheaval of the Appalachian Mountain System. Yes-s-s-s-s -, there must have been abig time then. Now, as we have gotten over the moutains, here is also something to inspire the poetical imagination if there are any poets in the class An old, dried-up Brachiopod from Silurian rock is shown? All begin to invoke the muse with astonish- ing results. This is a specimen: Poor, petrified old bracliiopod, You've long been buried under sod, On thee the Rhain-phor-hyn chus trod, Old brachiopodus brachiopod. The Lord knows how you got to us, Brachiopodus incubusy In discussing those Saureans of the Mesozoic era, I remember one gentlemen after describing the Rhamphorhynchus on examination put at the end of his paper-'well, he is the Worst 'cuss' I ever came across? There is also a good story told of the Labyrinthodont, a frog like animal of the saine era. It is said that he was so extremely large that he would hop from one hill-top to another, and croak so loud that he could be heard all over the continent. A grave problem was once disturbing the Eohippus, or dawn horse, when he soliloquized to himself: Toe be, or not for be? The bell is heard, boys begin to recover consciousness and wake up. Gentle- nien, you may take the same lesson over again, and I shall occupy the period to- morrow in illustrating to you how this old world of our's has been formed. You are dismissed, gentlemen, but donit forget about this old world - --, but the class has gone. . tf'1'his is an improvement on the original. THe needs his l'Sagwa. 7'Q!This is Lyric. 190 N.
