Almon Gunnison, D.D. 4- LMON GUNNISON, now President of St. Lawrence Uni- . gl versity. was born in Hallowell, Me., March 2, 1844-. ll T 3 His father, Nathaniel Gunnison, a native of New Hamp- lllm il shire, was a prominent minister of the Universalist Gifllllh b Church, his mother was the daughter of a sea captain of Cape Cod, engaged in the East India trade. Mr. Gunnison's early education was obtained at Dalhousie College, Halifax, N. S., and at Green Mountain Institute, South Woodstock, Vt. He then entered Tufts College, but left it at the end of two years to enter the Theological School of St. Lawrence University, where he graduated in 1868. While in college he had become a member of the Zeta Psi Fraternity, being a charter member of Kappa chapter. He was always prominent in fraternity matters, and at the meeting of the Grand Chapter in Boston, in 1888, he delivered the address. Immediately upon his graduation from the Theological School he was married to Miss Ella Everest, of Canton, N. Y. Two children have been born to them, a son and a daughter, the former now a successful lawyer in New York. Mr. Gunnison's first pastoral settlement was at Bath, Me., where he remained three years, at the end of which time he was called to the pastorate of All Souls' Church in Brooklyn, N. Y., where he remained nineteen years. During this period the society was greatly built up, a church and chapel were erected, and, what was quite as important, paid for, the cost being fB80,000. In 1883 he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from his Alma Mater. He next went to Worcester, Mass., as pastor of the First Universalist Church of that city, where he remained ten years. He then resigned, much against the wishes of his congregation, to accept an urgent call to the presidency of St. Lawrence University. Such is a brief sketch of our esteemed friend and President, who has long been bound to us by many ties. His brothers, Dr. Walter B. Gunnison, '75, and Herbert F. Gunnison, '80, both graduates of St. Lawrence, are well known to all Laurentians. President Gunnison has always been a stanch supporter of the University, serving for several years as a member of the Board of Trustees. He has often ST. LAIVRENCIS UNIVERSITY. 7 been instrumental both in sending students, and in adding to the endowment. Twice before he had been urged to accept the presidency, but declined, not through lack of interest in the welfare of the college, but because of duties connected with his pastorate, which he felt to be imperative. The third call, however, prevailed, happily for St. Lawrence. All friends of the University feel that he is the right man in the right place. He entered upon his duties early in November, 1899. President Gunnison has come to us fitted in every way to advance the interests of the rapidly growing institution which he now repre- sents. Under his able leadership The New St. Lawrence is only a question of' time. V --V H - - ,. s. 114- 5-Zu THE COLLEGE CAMPUS BY NIGHT. A .Muff .niiiivfw Editor in Chief EARL XV. SCRIPTER, BGJH.

We have wel- QGQUJ QD comed a new President, whose term of office has been V multi most auspiciously inaugurated, and two of our former i N 6? professors have returned to us. A new era of pros- Urn? cd perity and good-will has dawned upon St. Lawrence, l 1 . 1 and the patriotic zeal of her undergraduates was never greater. We trust that something of this feeling is reflected in the pages of the GRIDIRON, which we take pleasure in presenting for your inspection. It is to be regretted that such a work cannot be issued yearly, but we have done our best to keep the quality at least up to the standard set by our predecessors. 1 In issuing the GRIDIRON we have aimed to make it a true representa- tion of our University-to picture every phase of college life as it really exists. So pardon our mistakes and look for the merits. Laugh at our jokes, even if they happen to be at your expense, and do not think yourself humiliated or belittled before our readers. We have tried to be fair as well as candid, yet we must be allowed, in a publication of this kind, to make things interesting if we can. Be assured that there is nothing but good intent in our humor. The success of the GRIDIRON has been due largely to the hearty sup- port of friends, especially the alumni, who have taken such an active interest in it, and we wish to thank, most heartily, all those who have assisted us by contributions or otherwise. We now commit our pages to your hands, hoping that you will be as kind in your criticisms as you have been generous in your aid. , ,M .3 Qtr 'uf , it 1 a . A, ,. I 1 - im g, ggi, 11' - is ,, 15.

Organization. -LSQHE St. Lawrence University was chartered by the , 0 'W nm Legislature, April 3, 1856, for the purpose, as stated in ' the act of incorporation, of establishing, maintain- ,P ing, and conducting a college in the town of Canton, li nav St. Lawrence County, for the promotion of general education, and to cultivate and advance literature, science, and the arts, and to maintain a theological school at Canton, aforesaid As at present organized, the University embraces the fol- lowing departments: THE COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE. THE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL. The by-laws of the corporation provide that the College of Letters H and Science is and shall remain an unsectarian foundation 'G JK' W W and that the Theological School is and shall remain an institution especially intended and organized for the preparation and training of persons for the ministry of the Universalist Church. The Theological School was opened by Ebenezer Fisher, D.D., of revered memory, in April, 1858. The first class was graduated in 1861. In April, 1859, a.n academic department, which developed into the College of Letters and Science, was opened by John Stebbins Lee, D.D. In 1864 the preparatory school was discontinued. The first class was graduated from the College in 1865. From 1869 to 1872 a Law School wa.s conducted under the charge of Leslie Wead Russell, LL.D., now Justice of the Supreme Court. 'In 1857 the Legislature granted to the University SS25,000, of which 310,000 were to be expended' for books and apparatus, and 315,000 were to be kept as a permanent fund. The remaining property of the University, now amounting to upwards of 334-80,000, of which S360,000 are endowment funds, has been the result of private benefactions. ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY.

LAWRENCE UNJVERSUY. 17 The College of Letters and Science. -AIDLEYQHE New York Educational .ZlfIO11f1?bf says that it is TYQWD QD probable that no college of' its size in the country 1 has produced so many successful men as St. Lawrence ,P University. The stock from it is of the finer New Q I 'mi England antecedents, and the young men and young women who come to its doors come with fine charac- ters and noble purpose. They have learned the art of industry in their homes, and desire an education as an instrument of success. They find i11 the College a Faculty composed of able and conscien- tious men, who study their students and lead them along practi- cal lines of' work. In the classroom they have the gentle rivalry of small numbers, and the sympathy and comradeship of students who -1 COLLEGE HALL. 1 are friends. There are few distractions in the town, and the expenses are smaller than in any college of equal rank. The standard of the College is high, and its graduates go to immediate success. The Alumni stand ready to give the helping hand to the students as they go out to find their work in the world, feeling that a diploma of St. Lawrence is it guarantee of personal worth and high attainments. The College is elastic in its courses, with a generous line of electives, and the morals 3 18 THE GRIDIRON. of the students are exceptionally good. The closest friendship exists between students and teachers, and the people of the town are gener- ous in their hospitalities. A new era seems opening at St. Lawrence. New friends are being created, and in many ways there are signs of new life and vigor. If the greater St. Lawrence can be made without destroying the old comradeship, which has been the charm and inspi- ration of the day of small things, happy indeed will be the St. Law- rence of the future. All the indications give assurance that the greater University will preserve the old spirit and the old friendships. HERRING LI BRARY. t , iff I- ', i ,Tv r ,G . P 61 f '-:1T:s:,?

FACULTY OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE, - Ll-. The Classical Library. ...AIIIIEIIHE Classical Library, which had for a nucleus a number 941119 nm of books presented to the Latin Department from the 1 collection of Professor C. M. Baker and a few addi- 6, tional volumes the gifts of other donors, was established 5:1119 in a room in College Hall, fitted up for the purpose by Professor Hardie in 1892. At the following commence- ment the Alumni Association appropriated one hundred dollars for the purchase of reference books in various departments, and with a portion of this sum additions were made to the classical collection. In 1896 up- wards of one hundred volumes, chiefly editions of Greek and Latin authors, were received through Mr. N. L. Robinson, '77, from that eminent scholar and friend of classical learning, Professor Henry VVarren Torrey, of Harvard College. The next gift of importance was one thousand dollars from the late ex-Governor Flower. With this generous benefaction extensive additions were made to the library, including a considerable number of rare and useful books from the rich collection of the late Professor Henry Drisler, of Columbia College. To make room for these additions the library was removed to the pleasant rooms which it now occupies, and which are shown in the accompanying illustration. During the past year Mr. Anson R. Flower presented the library with an addi- tional three hundred dollars to complete the improvements to which the gift of his brother had been applied. The library now provides a splendid equipment for the work of the department. It contains a full assortment of editions of the classical Greek and Latin authors, bound sets of the leading periodicals dealing with the classics, and works of reference treat- ing of ancient history, literature, art, epigraphy and palaeography, and similar subjects. In short, the library affords opportunity for investi- gation in any line of study in which a student is likely to be employed in connection with the Greek and Latin studies of his college course. Q I INTERIOR OF CLASSICAL LIBRARY 1.2 R2 24- THE GRIDIRON. Senior History. -Alllhl5f1HE history of the.Class of 1900 offers a tempting ivqll 1 Dv' Q-ani? article, which cal unit from time. It will WD opportunity to the historical biographer, inasmuch as so many illustrious persons are included in its ranks, and so many remarkable deeds have been accom- plished by them. Such an extended treatment, how- ever, would far exceed the scope of the present only aims to trace the history of the class as a politi- the date of its advent on the campus to the present be seen that its course has been marked by a certain originality, and also by great vigor and determination in carrying out its plans. Our Freshman year was signalized by the usual exploits in green paint, by the successful carrying out of the class sleigh-ride, and above all by the holding of a class banquet uninterrupted and unsuspected wx i N? 9 ? for the first time in the history of the College, with the exception of the comparatively trifling performance of the Class of '97, which had a brief repast just before going to their Freshman reception. This glorious achievement 5 -LN of the Class of 1900 was made possible by the wisdom 3' of the committee, who withheld the knowledge of the X time and place of the banquet, even from the members y ll of the class itself, until the latest possible moment. The My T , banquet was called between the hours of one and two l , o'clock on Monday morning. Like the Boers, we com- bined, energy and shrewdness with our religion, but we T had too much respect for. the Sabbath to begin opera- I , tions earlier. This success was in itself enough to render ourclass famous, but it does not constitute our only claim to dis- , tinction. Tt was the Class of 1900 which invented the new and original plan of draping the roof of Herring I Library with green cheese-cloth for Tree Holiday, a daring feat accomplished with much dilhculty and danger on the , preceding night. As an instance of unconquerable resolu- ,..,, . ' - f qi' ' ' S, T In X . ? .52-Alina... ST. .LA WRENCE UNIVERSITY. 25 tion it may be mentioned that, as the ladder by which the roof was to be reached was not long enough, it was supported on the shoulders of devoted members of the class, and ascended by others yet more devoted. Great was the surprise of every one, and deep was the chagrin of our opponents the next morning. . A In Athletics this class has always taken high rank. The class foot- ball with '99 was a fierce and sanguinary contest which ended in a vic- tory for 1900. Thus 1900 proved her superiority over '99 in athletics as well as in general shrewdness and enterprise. The following year this victory was repeated with variations, when the Class of ,Ol was defeated. - ' KAPPA LODGE. In the same year the Class of '01 held a banquet in the neighboring city of Potsdam. This presumptuous project was discovered in time, and a large delegation of 1900 and '98 men made a descent upon the City and surrounded the hotel. To describe all the untoward happenings of that night would require the vivid powers of description of Sienkie- wicz. The present historian feels himself unequal to the' task. The hotel was protected by civil authorities, but upon the departure of the ban- queters a large and indignant body of citizens joined the besiegers. The carriages of the '01 men were stopped, but were finally allowed to pro- ceed. After their return to Canton a slight demonstration was made on 4 26 THE GRIDIRON. the part of the Freshmen toward the holding up of some of the Sopho- more carriages. On the following night this victory was driven home and clinched by the holding of a dance in the gymnasium, which was done entirely without molestation, although it took place under the very noses, so to speak, of some Freshmen who were sleeping the sleep of physical and mental exhaustion in the college dormitory. 1900 also won the class debate against 'O1. Our Junior year was marked by greater sedateness and maturity. No events of great political importance happened during this epoch, unless we except the winning of the class prize for athletics on Field Day. This trophy was won by a score of 66 points, the Class of '99 having 65. It was passed on to us as a sort of inheritance by our friends and allies, the Class of '98, over the heads, so to speak, of the Class of '99, who coveted it, but never possessed it for a single moment. Now that we have attained the eminence of Seniors we look back upon our record with pride. In both scholarship and athletics we have taken high standing, and for sagacity in carrying out our plans we have never been surpassed. We are a large and successful class. In our time we have done our- part to stir up and render lively the life of the University, and to that University we shall always remain faithful.

The history of '01 consists mainly of those events which are carefully excluded from the histories of 1900 and 1902. The history of the ordinary class can be written in four words: Freshman, do. Sophomore, doing. Junior, did. Senior, done. Such is not the case with S. L. U. 1901. They are still doing, and in- tend to do a great deal more. To enable one to understand better the narration of events about to follow, a few general facts will be of value. In talking '01 is expert, it can talk any other class in college way out of sightg it has talked more in its career than all the other classes of the University put together. In politics '01, cannot be rivaled. If it does not produce a goodly num- ber of statesmen, it will not be because its members lack practice in that line, but rather because they have had enough of political intrigue already. 1901 knows Roberts' Rules of Order a good deal better than how many class taxes it has paid. As for precedents, those are '01's specialties. The one imperfection in this class is that all were born leaders of men, and it is difficult to find any who were born to be led. Concerning enterprise, on matriculation day, almost before '01 was a class at all, one of the particularly brilliant naughty-ones presented to his class a formally drawn up document, setting forth an elaborate scheme for holding, on that very night, the Freshman banquet in the not very far dis- tant metropolis of Morley. The banquet was to consist chiefly of oyster stew. The aforementioned enterprising youth, author of the ambitious document, was promptly squelched, his menu not being sufficiently swell to satisfy the epicurean tastes of the naughty-ones. When the banquet did come off it was carried out in characteristic style. The plans were elaborate, and the whole college was there. 1901 drove to De Kalb, came back through Canton ina baggage car, and at length reached Potsdam, had a banquet and drove home. On the way 32 THE GRIDIRON. home the teams were held up by some of the inferior rank of Potsdam's citizens, but '01 had succeeded in having a banquet and keeping two towns up all night and was happy. All congratulated themselves that the affair had been managed with a great deal of finesse. 1901's artistic ability showed itself early in the painting line. Orig- inality of outline and bold color effects characterized their work on the bar- ber poles, while on the sidewalks the bold strokes of genius were in evi- dence. There ensued some trouble with the barbers-there are some people who hate to depart from the old customs, and green barber poles were a rather startling innovation-so '01, consulted a lawyer and paid the bills. ' THE GYMNASIUM. Once during that Freshman winter '01 felt that the college was in need of a little excitement, so they gave a dance. As usual the whole college was there, but also, as usual, all were on the outside, except '01 and their guests. For an account of the football game between 1900 and 1901 and of the Freshman-Sophomore debate, see History of 1900. The account will possibly be somewhat distorted and exaggerated, but will suffice, if accepted with a great deal of caution. The occasion for the Grand Scrap was .Tree Holiday, April 29, 1898. Most of the naughty-ones spent the night on the roof of the college or about the campus. By daylight the traces of their sojourn were visible. Green bunting Hoated from the roof 3 '01.'s tree stood unmolested, its trunk 4 ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY. 33 wrapped in green. Dr. Atwood's bright Sophomore-red barn was dec- orated with 1901's usual artistic taste in green-and this marks prece- dent number one. The barn has never been without ornamentation since. On the gymnasium door was a beautiful green 1901. The chimneys of the college had each a similar decoration, while the whole roof was sur- mounted by the famous big green ball, which was resurrected from seem- ingly nowhere, in which place it had been since its mysterious disappear- ance caused by '99. In regard to all this there was some little talk-much of it done by '01, both among themselves and to authorities, and although, as has been said, the '01.'s are all good talkers, some quite outdid themselves, and their at- tainments on that occasion are marked by artistic emphasis and terseness. To be sure, Paddy ironed out his hair and came up to class meeting a day or two later and moved to eradicate the paint from the chimneys and obliterate it from the gymnasium door, which motion was dulv seconded and carried and '01 paid for the paint. As for the green ball, thi-s marks mysterious disappearance number two, but does not account for subsequent rumors. 1901 celebrated its return to college by attending the Freshman ban- quet. Somehow the cane seems a proper adjunct of the Sophomoreg '01 is nothing if not proper, therefore they won the cane rush. They followed this up by tying '02 at football. Then later they gave a dance in the gym- nasium and of course the whole college attended on the outside, according to precedent of '01. One daring 1900 succeeded in getting into the gymna- sium, but after the '01 boys had attended to their unwelcome but persist- ent guests below stairs, they seized that valiant Junior by the hair and gave him a more intimate acquaintance with the single-sticks than the ordinary youth possesses who gets 60 in gym. work. The visitors on the outside were forcibly convinced that their presence was not desired and departed, that is, what was left of them did, for the most part hatless, having left their headgear as souvenirs for the '01's. In basketball '01 won the championship of the University. The Fresh- man-Sophomore debate was a great and illustrious victory for 1901. The baseball record for that year can be found in the History of 1902. When Tree Holiday came-behold. precedent number three-1901 at the Haven House where every- deserted the campus and held a banquet 5 . 34 THE GRIDIRON. thing was toasted from the Faculty to the Freshmen, including '01's latest established precedent of getting something to eat on Tree Holiday, which had of late been a fast day. Of course the whole college arrived later. 1901 serenaded them triumphantly with their class yell and paid for the banquet. Please observe that '01 always paid for everything. There are classes that do not settle for their own fun. . As Juniors, 1901 has been right royally entertained by the Freshmen, who are another very enterprising class and worthy of their allies. Class spirit has not failed '01, although the projects, in which they share, are not their own. They still take an active interest in class affairs and yell them- selves hoarse as they were wont to do in the two preceding years. They were there, and not as audience either, when the Sophomore dance was broken up, together with some doors and things-and they are all on probation now, '01 and '03 together. - 1901 has embarked upon some more substantial enterprises this year. There was the junior hop, when all the college was there, but this time by invitation, and for a change they paid the bills. The annual is '01's latest undertaking, and it foreshadows what is to come. From the past and present the future is judged, so- Here's to '01, drink it down, drink it down, Here's to '01 and success in days to come. Drink it down, drink it down!

'V if 'SIB T seems but yesterday since we entered college, but it is . -it must be-almost two years. Freshmen once, but Sophomores now. What have we done to make a gh. history since we became a factor in the affairs of S. L . U.? :W mg Our initial step was matriculation, by which we Ai' signed the pledge and swore to keep the peace. We have kept it, and found it consistent witl1 keeping a full measure of that hilarity which is an essential feature of class spirit and of college tradition, while we have grown in wisdom, in knowledge and in favor with the faculty and men. Our Historyg our Deeds: How 'fondly does memory retrace Each circumstance of time and place, Season and scene come back again, And outward things unchanged remaing The rest we cannot reinstate. Nor do we want to. We do not wish to make our record over again. It is good, we are proud of it, and content to let it stand. At our banquet some would-be Moses, from some Pisgah's height across the Jordan of our college course, surveyed the promised land of Naughty-two. And it was no Utopian vision that played across his fancy, for, in our victories and defeats, we have in part fulfilled the pro- phecy, while two years yet remain. Could we sketch the details of our history with a poet's pen, what a pzean might be writtenq but we must perforce write in prose and, con- scious that this damper upon our enthusiasm may not be suflicient, we further ask the reader's indulgence Lfor he, too, may have been a class- manl if we effcrvesce too freely. For several weeks the result of the class football game was in favor of the Sophomores. However, when the game was played '01 found her equal, for it resulted in a tie. At the Sophomore dance an extra was furnished which lasted about fifteen minutes. It consisted of a pretty hot breakdown on the part of the Sophs to keep '02 from getting upstairs into the Gym. We had a sugar party and , a delightful dance, quite undisturbed, among the pleasant memories of our first year. We have met stormy 40 THE GRIDIRON. weather, and recall one chilling gust after a hard-fought debate when the violent expansionist Mac Philippine felt himself contracted by a decision in favor of '01, But he redeemed '02 this year with a unanimous decision from five judges, ably seconded by the arguments which Bobbie bored fBoer-edl into the committee. A volume, it seems, would hardly sufiice to tell the story of Tree Holiday as we retrace each circumstance of time and place, from tl1e first meeting of the committee at The Corner House till the eventful day, including the more eventful night before. This day, the culmination of class rivalry, found the Sophomores van- quished at every point, our colors floated proudlyfrom Herring Library, our tree was safely planted, the Sophomore programmes were posted on fences, walks and cows. Old Sol was supreme above and Naughty-two below. One pleasant afternoon a few weeks later, '02 and '01 crossed bats for baseball supremacy. It did not take very long to decide the question for, after the first inning, '02 had no fears. Following this victory came Field Day, where, with half a try, we nearly equalled the score of our rivals. Vacation was interrupted by the arrival of one item of college news- it was our grades. That august assembly, the Faculty, sat on our record, and when they rose there was enough left to entitle us to become Sopho- mores. As such, with new hopes and ambitions, we came back to S. L. U. last September. The Freshmen failed to play the football game, they were defeated in the cane rush and basketball game, also in the debate. In S. L. U. generally, Naughty-two has stood in favored places. Posi- tions were held on the 'Varsity football, baseball, basketball and track teams, also on the musical clubs. As students, the' good, conscientious work of '02 has become proverbial, in spite of the fact that we mix iron and sulphur together and get iron filings. Before closing we feel like moralizing a little for the benefit of the Freshmen, but with a mighty effort we refrain except to say, Don't try to bluff the Dean. Sophomores, our underclassmen days will soon be over. The year so well sustained' must not end with an anti-climax. Let the good work go on, keeping the standard of '02 always at the front. Classmates, remain true to Naughty-two, cherish St. Law-renceg let us continue as we have so well begun, that we may go forth an honor to our Alma Mater, ever loyal to the Scarlet and the Brown. .

'53, Q9 AUGHTY-THREE entered St. Lawrence thirty-one strong Aa Syl ff determined to win favor on all sides. Not a word was lil heard from the Sophomores, for they had seen at a cf' agp j iq glance that Naughty-three would carry off the laurels mx which they as yet had not seen. The first class meeting dlp' W was held the second day after college opened. Officers were elected, committees appointed, and the Freshmen were ready for the year-'s campaign. Naughty-two knew that a banquet must be held, and decided to attend-or at least to keep the Freshmen away. They watched every night till two o'clock, and that did no good. On the night of the 2d of October the Sophomores again watched every Freshman until he went home, for they couldn't miss that banquet, no secret banquet having been held since '97. -At four o'clock the Freshmen, with ten juniors, gathered, feasted and toasted, and at halflpast six started out to wake up the Sophomores, who were still dreaming of the banquet they would break up. Something was the matter with poor Naughty-two, but not a word has been said since about the banquet they broke up. Possibly it was a dream, after all. The cane rush was the next struggle, and Naughty-two was victorious by two hands-the Sophs say because they were bravery possibly, if udged by the man who fled dismayed before three Freshman girls. The Freshman- Sophomore debate was also won by the Sophomores-won by precedence. One night the Freshmen went out to paint, and they painted and they painted, and the next morning everything was scarlet and brown and green. Professor Priest had a little tea party after chapel one morning, and there was still a little more painting for the Freshmen to do. The Sophomores and Seniors decided to have a dance, but owing to some mistake the invitations to the other two classes were not delivered. To show there was no ill-feeling, the juniors and Freshmen went to inquire about it. The door of the hall happened to be locked, but a little thing like that did not hinder them. They were warmly received inside, and the Sophomores felt so badly over the unintentional slight they had given their friends that they postponed the dance. - Q14 THE GRIDIRON. Now, since the Sophomores have found out that they must stand back, they do so humbly and submissively. Some of them, however, have shown such a friendly feeling that they have joined us-in the catalogue. Notwithstanding the poorly kept note-books, and in spite of the terrible prediction of one of our esteemed professors, Naughty-three feels that she is up to the standard. INTERIOR OF LIBRARY. ST.

The Institution at the start was fortunate in having at its head the Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Fisher, one of the profoundest theologians and wisest men the church has produced, and he left the impress of his strong personality upon the men he sent forth. Later, under Rev. Dr. Atwood, the good work was continued with un- abated interest and success.

The present President comes to the school, of which he is a graduate, from long and successful pastorates of two of the largest churches of the denomination, while probably the most noted scholar in our church comes to a professorship in the school at the same time. The school is well housed in its own building, and the new class is larger than the Freshman class in any of the other seminaries of the church. There is no charge for tuition, and the school has as line a class of students as it has ever had. We-v If ,F , ,,,-...,,kXx .

H St. Lawrence University Literary Club. dl SOCIETY for the purpose of uniting the non-frater- . nity men of St. Lawrence University was first talked 7 xi I of in 1895. To Amin Beder and john A. Wells WE 3 belongs the credit of originating this movement. Unlip' Ab The actual organization, however, was not effected until November 21, 1896, when a small body of students were invited to meet for this purpose. A society was formed with eight charter members, and Clarence H. Gaines was chosen first President. After some consideration it was decided that the nature of the society should be literary, with the object of promoting a greater interest in literature, and, as much as possible, to train its members in writing and debating. This it is aimed to accomplish by the delivery of prescribed programs each week during the college year. The constitution adopted provides that the Club be non-secret. In other respects its rules and by-laws do not differ materially from those of other literary societies. The Club, regard being had for its recent establishment and small numbers, has taken its fair share of college honors. At the Commence- ment of '99 Amin Beder, one of the charter members, was among the speakers designated by the Faculty. Mr. Wellington is an active mem- ber of the Banjo, Mandolin and Glee Clubs, and participated in the annual trip of these organizations. Mr. Brown has been for two years catcher on the 'Varsity baseball team. The Club has had a healthy growth without being phenomenal. It is still small in numbers, because young. There is a membership of twenty- four, including nine alumni, six of whom are honorary. It has always been known simply as the St. Lawrence University Literary Club, there being only one such in the University. Q5 7 , X 1 C33 M 0 LEL w Mmhgfw -,J 5 j I ,,.,.9 M 12?-EQ xg?

It was probably organized in 1859, and 4 must have had on its first enrollment such names as Pardon Clarence Williams, now Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Leffert Lefferts Buck, since become one of the world's famous civil engineersg Alpheus B. Hervey, afterwards president of the College of Letters and Science, E. E. Riexford, also a college president, and many other names of scarcely less note. In the beginning the membership included students from every school of the University, but early in the seventies a contest arose over the question of having a dance on Tree Holiday, which resulted in the theo- logical students resigning in a body, leaving the society strictly in the hands of the college students. It is on record that Walter B. Gunnison, the leader of all amusements, sided with the theologs, and F. N. Cleave- land, who cared little for frivolities, strenuously supported the carnal side, which indicated some deep political plot behind. For the Theloma- thesian had by this time assumed the entire control of all the politics, amusements, contests and literary attempts of the college, and had become a great force in shaping the character of the institution. Tree Holiday, lectures, dances, debates, concerts-all were managed by the Theloma- thesian. It became -the greatest honor a Senior could obtain to be elected president, especially in the Spring term, when that officer would have charge of Tree Holiday andthe privilege of introducing the Commence- ment speaker, for in those days Thelomathesian saw to it that we always had a Commencement speaker. Being an honor, it naturally created con- tests. The class of '73 was known as the fighting class C F. L. Backus was a memberj, but they managed to lay aside their jealousies and nominate F. W. Spicer, who was elected. C. F. Ainsworth was elected in 074. Meanwhile the P. D. secret society had been organized, and a new ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY. 81 element-antagonism between Greek and Barbarian-entered. W. B. Gun- nison was the regular P. D. candidate for the class of '75. The Barbarian host was wily, and nominated A. B. Smith, also a staunch P. D., in the hope of capturing some of Gunnison's votes. He accepted the nomination, but with the secret understanding that if he happened to be elected he would resign. This was the occasion of F. N. Cleaveland's wild ride through snowdrifts and over fences after J. N. Bassett. He nearly broke his neck, but he brought in his man on time, and Gunnison was elected by one vote, which was reward enough to pay even the Phagarch who had been forced to go without his supper to accomplish it. IN THE GYMNASIUM. From this time on, elections were the most exciting and interesting features of Saint Lawrence life. The old constitution contains more clauses relating to what consti- tutes membership than the sum of all the other regulations. The most famous fight over an election was that of '78, when the battle was actually moved to the courts and the question decided by three judges. Thelomathesian is now practically dead. They say that the secret societies supply its place. Do they?

T is not often that a local college paper is cited by name in the big city dailies. We were pleased, therefore, to see in the New York Tribune of March 12th a very appreciative notice of the sketch of Dr. Cone published in our February number, with due credit given to THE LAU- RENTIAN. 1 HE observance of Tree Holiday is characteristic of St. Lawrence. Within the past two years there seems to have been a falling off of the interest in this custom. We are being asked-Where is our stu- dent originality? Why isn't Tree Holiday observed somewhat as it used to be? Sophomores and'F1-eshmen, wake up! Get up a little class rivalry in the matter, and give us something on April 27th to keep '02 and '03 alive in our memory. We had no Sophomore-Freshmen football game last fall, you know, and we were very much disappointed. It is the hope of THE LAURENTIAN to publish in the May issue an account of a really creditable celebration of the day peculiar to St. Lawrence. uf ' , 4,9 'Q .- W W-- N-,. ,,X CHLOE E.

LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY. 95 - Athletics. 4' THLETICS at St. Lawrence have been characterized by . gil a mingling of decisive victories and defeats. In so far ZU T 3 as the Association has met with success, the same has mHDx in been achieved by earnest and spirited work. The dis- my appointments in football and baseball during the past year can be accounted for partly by absence of good material, and partly by attempts of many good men to succeed in several athletic organizations at the same time. The latter cir- cumstance is not easy to avoid at a small institution, but should every incoming student who has athletic abilities or aspirations confine himself, from the very beginning, to some one branch of college sports, the failures consequent upon the present tendencies would, in a marked degree, be lessened. Baseball, football, track athletics, and basketball are principally indulged in. Very successful trips have been made through the interior of the State by both ,the baseball and the football teams. The Hat- tering per cent. that each team won for itself is evidence that athletics can prosper at our University. What is essential for future success in this line is larger classes to select from, a deeper interest on the part of the F aculty, and a number one coach, especially for football. Of the first and last prerequisites we are already assured for the coming year. Now let the College authorities take into consideration the phys- ical as well as mental abilities of prospective students, let them grant small inducements, if necessary, to secure brawny, well-developed young men, of whom they will be proud long before the four-year course has been completed. This done, and St. Lawrence will be foremost of small colleges in every line.

DEAR JACK: I know it is March, and I know it is the Nineteenth Century, but don't ask me to be any more explicit. The Trinidad disappointed me and didn't sink, so we are here, at the Hamilton Hotel. The Lady from Philadelphia is getting the rooms settled. Papa is trying to master the intricacies and uncertainties of the English coinage, and I am wait- ing for the hotel to come to anchor. It's all right to bound o'er the billow, but when it comes to being rocked in the cradle of the deep, there isn't a thing to recommend it. I'd like to see the old duffer who wrote I lay me down in peace to sleep l I think I'll survive, but I've not been able to take soup yet, and finger-bowls are not even to be looked at. They make me giddy. I don't blame you for refusing to come-you'd never dare the Gulf Stream. The noble Class of '00 would have one less shining light. I don't know much of the place as yet, but it seems infested with donkeys and red-coats. Making fun of my stationery? I bought it at The Tower. I know it's limp and sleazy, that's why I use it, it seems to express my condi- tion. My constitution needs calendering. Write! DOROTHY. JACK floquiturj-A very delicate bluff, my dear little sister, but I'm too old to be stumped, ' HAMILTON, BERMUDA. Mv DEAR JACK! We arrived after a rather stormy passage, which was quite annoy- ing, to Dorothy in particular, but now that we are here we feel amply repaid. ,The island is beautiful, and so peaceful! The only drawback to our complete pleasure is your refusal to join us. Won't you be per- suaded? I know what my favorite author says, that there is no trust ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY. 119 to be put in a frail and mortal man, even though he be profitable and dear to usg but I can't resist a little confidence and hope in you yet. We are going to take a house, and you may leave your dress suit at home and wear a smoking jacket all day. One blessed thing will be an entire escape from Society. Doesn't that appeal to the natural savage in you? Your loving Aunt, ELIZA RETI-I. Does my innocent relative imagine I must take an ocean voyage to escape the function ? .As if I couldn't move to Brooklyn! Give up the 'Varsity games and Frat. feed for Bermuda? Guess again, Auntie. HAMILTON, BERMUDA. My DEAR Boy: This is a most extraordinary little hole. Nondescript scenery-looks like the barren pastures of northern New York more than anything tropic. Not a steam engine on the whole island! Have talked to several natives who seem intelligent and up to date, yet have never seen frost or a locomotive! The fort must be interesting, but they won't let a Yankee inside for fear he would steal the plan. Isn't that rich? Better join us by next steamer. I need you awfully to help steer these two women about. Yours affectionately, FATHER. The Pater needing me! That ought to move me to tears. Isn't he easy! HAMILTON, BERMUDA. MY DEAR JACK: This is just the very dear little isle I have been longing for all Iny life, only I didn't know it! But I shan't weary you with any guide-book remarks, because you wouldn't read them, and, anyway, I have not so much time to waste on you. You have no idea how gay it is here. The military life is so fascinating, and the officers are certainly very kind to show me as much of it as possible. I've been to some balls with the regi- mental band to furnish the music, and to the barrack theater to see some 120 THE GRIIJIRON. plays given by the oflicers and ladies, and to the Sunday parade, and the barrack church-doesn't it remind you of Kipling and Mrs. Ewing? It seemed to me that I must hear Mulvaney applauding for the honor of the rigiment, and hear The Tug of War hymn. Surely, here is the light that never was on sea or land. And then the drives in tl1e white splendor of the moon, when the town seems enchanted, and the air is drenched with the perfume of whole fields of lilies, that stand pallid in the moonlight, and the only sound is the ring of the hoof on the coral! And the boat-rides, when the water is like a great Hrc-opal! Captain Rivington has been so kind. We have played tennis, and seen some cricket games, and driven up to the barracks to hear the evening concerts, and he has even tried to teach me to ride a wheel. But l don't mind eonliding that I know now what Emerson meant when he wrote: Things are in the saddle and ride man- kind. I prefer a horse, and to-morrow Captain Rivington will get me one. This is a most generous amount of time to give you. ' Your sincere friend, MARY. Um-m-l CAnI.l2oIm1x1. To MR. josiavler DELANO, Hamilton, Bermuda. .Xrrive next steamer, JACK. ,N 1 ST.

Laurentia built in the bright days of yore, Her throne on a far northern hill, She builded it far from the city's fierce roar, Her mission of peace to fulfill, Kind winter throws round it a white wall of snow, The summer a mantle of green, Each season its tribute is fain to bestow On her whom we own as our Queen. The House that Laurentia builded still stands, Her colors still wave from its wall, Her sons and her daughters, in far-away lands, Have never been deaf to her cally She reigns as a Queen, seated high on her throne, Her scepter she bears in her hand, . She rules as a mother, whose love for her own Is the scepter which gives her command. O Queenly Laurentia, long may you reign O'er subjects both loyal and true, O Mother, Laurentia, strong be the chain Which binds your dear children to you, And may the bright folds of the Scarlet and Brown Fore'er o'er your dwelling be seen, While loving hands still on your head set a crown, Saluting you, Mother and Queen!

What dire offense from pleasure's causes springs, What mighty scandals rise from trivial things, I sing. This verse to Gridir'n, Muse, is due. This, even Tracy may vouchsafe to view. Slight is the subject, but not so the praise, Should he, who did inspire, approve my lays. Say, what strange mortal could devise a plan So strange-to shoot, assault a fellow man! O say, what stranger cause-can some one tell- Could make a learned doctor load the shell! If tasks so base can learned men engage, Can we expect from those of younger age More noble deeds? 'Twere better so to mold The youthful mind that knowledge may unfold Lessons that gunshot wounds can scarcely teach, And thus the traitor's plans to overreach. There stands a structure of majestic frame Which from the neighboring highland takes its name. Thro' all the land, of late, its fame has spread Q'Twas here they found another use for leadj. DeGrasse near by this stately structure Hows, The village lies beneath in sweet repose. In sable mantle Night stalks slowly ong The workman hastens home, his labor done, The shadows deepen, darkness covers all, The air grows damp and chill, and vapors fall, The glistening lights on every side appearzp The hour when mortals seek repose is near. Oppressive stillness reigns on every side, Till soon a sound, increasing like the tide, Grows ever louder as it draws more near. 'fi A crowd of youths discuss, unmoved by fear, Some plan on which their minds are all intent, F l 1 24- THE GRIDIRON. 'Tis sure they sallied out on pleasure bent. They little dreamed that ere the light of day Returned, foul deeds, which well might bring dismay To braver heart than theirs, would be performed, And youthful strength and beauty be deformed. But on they went, and knew no thought of fear Or dread. All lights go out as they draw near, And, ghostlike, stalk across the campus green, Where lurks, in shadows deep, a foe unseen. No sound was heard nor token of attack, No word of warning came to them, till-crack! The stillness of the night with shrieks was rent, As from the shades the foe, with foul intent, Advanced with weapon of destruction dread, And sent his deadly missiles straight ahead At those who scarcely knew from whence they came They paused in terror. Wonder filled each frame, As suddenly the air was filled with lead. Loud shrieks arise, the grass is dyed with red, As victims fall. The night is rent with yells Of pain and rage, as one by one the shells, Their heavy, deadly cargo all unload. The fiend rejoiced and smiled, as down he mowed' the swaths of human Hesh. No sense of shame Stirred in his stony breast, nor ever came To smite his conscience, dulled by wicked deeds. Remorseless he his hungry weapon feeds With lead. The noise and tumult die away, No more the night is rent with noise of fray. A lull like that before a tempest's blast Oppresses all. The storm of wrath at last Breaks forth, and moving onward gathers strength, Inspiring fear and terror, till at length The foe- so bold begins to shrink with fear, His courage fails, and soon a salty tear Goes coursing down his cheek. His bristling hair Bespeaks a heart that knows not how to dare ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY. Or face the rage that he himself had wakedg His trembling tongue in shivering accents quaked In answer to the harsh reproaches castg And, shaking as a tree before the blast, He prayed: Oh, spare my life, for Heaven's sake, And I will any reparation make! To prison will I go, if there is needg In chains will I repair this vicious deed? The youths then said: The crime which you have done Is grave. Repent and prayg your race is run. With Heaven make your peaceg your doom is sealed. Prepareg with blood have you bedewed the fieldg Your goose is cooked. Repentg the die is castg Confess at onceg prepare to breathe your last. A wail arose-arose and died away- A wail of hopelessness and agony. The others' hearts were touched to hear, to see ' The Steward suffer in such misery. Their purpose changed. Our thirst is not for blood, They saidg We crave a more substantial floodg A human thirst consumes us. Quench it now, Or else to-morrow eveg and we'll allow To you your freedom, cheaply bought. He said- And hope returned that from his soul had fled- Upon the campus green a keg of beer Will I set up to-morrow night. Hear, hear! The others cried. In this we all concur. Divine are we, for we forgive. To err Is humang he has erred. The human race, Begot in Adam's sin, cannot efface The evil in it born, nor cast aside That weakness which, in vain, the saints defied. judge not too harshly all that he has done, And grudge him not his penance or his fun.

Then I did not go out in society much, but since I have become a Frat. man LI mean '21, fraternity memberl I go to all the large parties in Canton. I am a Beta. We took in several men last year, but one of the boys said that I would make the best Frat. man of the class. I am right in it in athletics. I played right-Held on Our Class Football Team last year, and something on Our Class Baseball Team. There are several nice girls here. I go with all of them when I want to. I send you my photograph. The girls think it very good looking. So I think so too. I have grown a great deal since you saw me. I wear a No. 'FM size hat now, and have to set it on the back of my head. ' The Alphas took in a Fresh from our town this year It was a hard fight, and both Frats. spent more money than he was really worth. His hat is IA size larger than mine. He is very popular in his class, and acts as the power behind the throne. I mean their class presi- dent does not know much, and he just helps him out when he can. He is a dandy football player, and after a year's experience I think he will compare well with myself. Our French record is about the same. Of course he is just as proud of his Frat. as I am of mine, but we are very good friends, and I think we can work to one another's good, for we both are very influential. So you see our town is well represented in quality if not in numbers. I may drop out of college for a while this spring. I can have a job of Senses work if I want it. It pays about 553,000 for three weeks' work, and Prof. Priest said it would not interfere with my GRADES. Well, Aunty, I am studying hard, but will try to write again, soo11, and tell you more about our Frat. ' Your loving nephew, P.

No other days are like the college days: Our days of freshest youth, of morning light, When--as the Arctic sun with lifting rays, Circles the glowing sky from morn till night, Nor sinks, but mounts yet higher and shines more bright- Whole years were sunrise, and the pressing hours Still showed the world more wide from Alma lVIater's towers. No other days are like the college days: I ever grieve that mine are fled so long, And in my soul the college cries still raise Tumultuous echoes, and a college song, In riotous nonsense ringing loud, is strong To lift, one instant, all the weight of years- Then, as the cadence falls, comes age, and with it. tears. No other days are like theeollege days: Their sorest troubles we recount with mirth, And all that we remember of the trays That once with tumult shook our little earth, Are but the friendships that in strife had birth, For oft the bitterest feuds of college strife Knit stoutest bonds of union in our after life. No other days are like the college days: Even our college scrapes have such a charm We glorify them ever, to amaze The callow generation, and alarm To rivalry, who never d1'eamed of harm In staid and veteran founders, such as wc- Yet the same tunes by them full soon will chanted be.

H H U H U E a There's a class in S. L. U. Called naughty-naught. 'Tis a class beloved by few, This naughty-naught. They are Seniors and are wise, They are lauded to the skies- If you like to smother lies- This naughty-naught. Yes, naughty-naught are Seniors, and are going to leave us. It is needless to say that we are sorry. Our hearts go out in true college sympathy toward them. For, doubtless, being thrown violently against the world's indifference to talent, and not appreciating, as they should, the cold shoulder after their successfulf?j tour in this quiet vale, they will become discouraged, forgetting 'all their good, practical logic that they kept so handy while in college. This class has indeed been a most interesting one. Their develop- ment certainly has been wonderful. The only parallel case coming to mind at this moment is that of Darwin's Theory of Evolution. -One of their number, who is a hypnotist, has made quite a dis- covery. He has succeeded in hypnotizing a representative member of his class. Below is the result of a careful analysis of his mind: Inquisitiveness .................................... +4-3 V Ability to acquire ...,.. -65 Originality ................ -21 Social ability ....... ., +14- Egotism ............,.. .. +63V2 , Progressiveness ...... .. --3416 ' -i'120M -120W The above analysis does not show a very high standard of intelli- gence. Yet hypnotism is not always infallible, and we admit that some f ST. Lf1lfVRl5NCl? UNIVERSITY. 137 remarkable human traits are concealed under their high silk hats. We know them well, and have endeavored to deal out justice to them in the most straightforward manner. We realize that too much of the truth can be told, and consider that it would be uncharitable and impolitic for us to publish accounts of improper deeorum on their part, or of lack of enterprise in undertaking the publication of an Annual, or of futile attempts to conceal grief for said inability. There- fore, we omit in foto all expressions of jealousy or feelings of humilia- tion toward our own achievements, and refrain entirely from alluding to any unfortunate episodes which may explain the present hypochon- driacal state of our retiring Seniors. We rejoice with you, and are exceedingly glad. Go forth and make such a record in the world as you have at your Alma Mater, and some day people will call you-call you4we don't know just what, but no doubt they will call you something.
