Hayden W. Wheeler AYDEN W. WHEELER, to whose memory this book is dedi- cated, was born in Pompey, Onondaga County, N. Y., on No- vember 25, 1827, and was educated at Manlius Academy. He came to Brooklyn in 1854, and identified himself with the educa- tional and social activities -of this city. From 1881 to 1884 he was a member of the Board of Education, and was treasurer and trustee of Adelphi College from its establishment until his death. It was, indeed, in large measure, owing to his efforts that Adelphi College was incorpo- rated. and his devotion to its welfare can never be too highly appreciated. We feel, that in Ins death, on October 28, 1904. the college has lost one of its truest and most faithful friends. College Calendar F:IRST SEMESTER, 1904-05 Fall terms begins.....

It is the life history of a typical college class, that of 1905, in the splendid institution of Adelphi College; which we have chosen to represent in the world-renowned waxworks of Mrs. Jarley, kindly lent us for that purpose. Please step this way, to the first gallery. Observe the word upon the threshold: ‘Freshmen!’ a truly magic Open Sesame!” The manager, a dignified young woman in cap and gown, with the tassel over the left eyebrow, withdrew the purple velvet curtain disclosing the immortal collection of “divers sprightly effigies, singly and in groups, with their eyes very wide open and their nostrils very much inflated, and all their countenances expressing great surprise.” This first magnificent group to the right,” she continued, pointing to one where half the figures were ornamented with enormous bows which the rest were struggling vainly to secure, portrays the first event of col- lege life for 1905—the 'War of the Ribbons’ resulting from the unwar- ranted prohibition of such decorations imposed by the Sophomores. Ob- serve the disconsolate young lady in the background weeping over a broken bag. That is R. N., and she has early discovered what it means to come in conflict with ’05. This bag contained trophies of her con- quests, triumphantly retaken by the Freshmen. “The chubby, bewitching figure next in line, in baby dress, bib, and bonnet, with all the charms of infant grace, is C. M., who captivated all hearts at the celebrated Baby Party given ’05 bv her considerate sister, ’04. Coy little B. B., by her side, distinguished herself by making ’way with the greatest amount of bread and milk on that occasion, and the orator on the chair is A. W., whose success as a deelaimer of ‘Mother Goose’ prophe- sied her dramatic future. “The scene of stirring action here represented is called the ‘Snowball Battle.’ The heroic defenders in the sleigh are Freshmen, their cruel foes the Sophomores; the lady in the distance is the deserted Miss F., and the smiling gentleman is Dr. L., whose friendliness is deceptive, as he per- fidiously betrayed them the next day. ‘The Victory of 1905’ is the name of this beautiful athletic figure, poised on a basketball, and pointing to an imaginary score of 12 to 3. “We will now pass into the second gallery. Observe the superb car- riage of the head, the increase in majesty and stateliness. This, my friends, is the Sophomore gailery. The intense excitement of this first group at once reveals its subject. This is the class election. You will observe several groups conferring together. The most serene-looking girl in the crowd becomes the new President, £. C, who has done much to make the history of 1905 so creditable. This second is not a Brooklyn Bridge crush, but the great reception. Note the happy faces, and the miraculous manner in which the frappe is being distributed without serious accident. Ladies and Gentlemen, here is one of the most touching pieces of waxwork in our collection. This beautiful maiden is absorbed in weigh- ing a diploma and a wedding ring, while the young man in the background is slyly endeavoring to tip the scale in favor of the latter. Alas! I. E. succeeded only too well! and did the limits of our time permit we might reveal the interesting tale, but we must leave it to your imagination. “Lay aside frivolities, my friends, as we enter the third gallery. This is the Junior collection; and the great book swung from the ceiling is placed there to show that it entirely dominates the situation. This is the illustrious Oracle! Here you will find a series of statuettes which may remind you vaguely of the Twelve Labors of Hercules. This ink-stained scribbler, with the wild eye and gloomy brow, is the joke manufacturer. Here we see a luckless individual called upon suddenly for class recita- tion while dreaming a Pindaric ode for the Oracle, and the blank dismay of her face prefigures the terrible catastrophe about to overtake her. These people grouped around a table piled with manuscript, tearing their hair while the editor-in-chief, K. T., pounds for order, are sculptured from life,—an Oracle Board meeting, where all arc anything but bored. The commanding figure in the corner is S. T. demanding ‘ads.’ These twelve girls swinging on a rope arc a chef-doeuvre; as also the one doing the Statue of Liberty on a post by the mad sea waves; both serving to revive other memories of the Board. You will all admire the Gibson effect of this Belle of the Prom. “This last figure might be a reproduction of its forerunner in the second gallery; but the artist has shown his versatility by another repre- sentation. This cluster of college girls, with their hows falling off in sur- prise, is a study of expression well worth noting. They are friends listen- ing to G. Q.'s overwhelming piece of news. Another deserter to the ranks of matrimony! Why must '05 girls be so attractive? Gentlemen, remove your hats. No loud conversation, please. This high and solemn portal opens into the Senior gallery. Here is the stately procession on the way to chapel, K. T. leading. But this is the gem of the collection. What hints of melodrama are here! This wary couple are escaping down a ladder from their loving friends waiting with the rice in front. G. is a wise old owl! On your right is an interesting work of art. These two lines of girls, somewhat frightened,, but nevertheless in high glee, are enjoying an old-fashioned spelling match. We learn from this, my friends, that even the most eminent can condescend to simple pleasures that would delight Wagner’s soul. Observe the surprised person sitting down in defeat. She is just discovering that she has spelled 'jocose’ with a ‘g and it shocks her painfully. This gallery is somewhat incomplete as yet, for all the niches are not filled. We think we can safely reveal this, however, as a prophecy of the near future. “Behold a noble statue of a wobbly young woman squeezing between two portentous dignitaries who are scooping her into a peculiar brown and gold net. This represents the triumphant graduate receiving her hood. Observe the diploma in her hand, and the satisfied smile of achieve- ment lighting up her worn features. “As we pass out, let me call your attention to this line of busts. These are a few of the ’05 girls who have won college distinction. C. W., E. C., and J. D. appear with Barlow medals. J. D. and M. L. are winners of essay prizes. Underneath are the likenesses of several Presidents drawn from this same celebrated class; the Y. W. C. A. for two years, the Round Table for two years, the Glee Club, Athletic Association, Students’ Asso- ciation. One word more in regard to J. D. We have heard of every-day courage, and we believe in it since watching this strong-minded youth face classes of girls every day for years in solitary championship of his sex. We rejoice that Mr. R. has appeared to lighten his labors. That is all. We thank you for your kind attention, ladies and gen- tlemen, and trust we have proved to you the many-sided character of Adel- phi training, and the splendid record of 1905.” Nineteen Hundred and Six Motto—Know Tiiyscif. Flower■—Carnation. Colors—Green and White. Class Yell. Rickerty! Rackerty ! Hullabaloo! Zing! Bang! Whoop-de-doo! Can they beat us? Nixy-nix! We are the class of 1906!

N which Miss Nineteen Hundred and Six comes to college. She meets a friendly maiden by the name of Nineteen-Four who introduces her to Shakspere, the Stag, and Mr. Ewing. She learns that these are to be moved neither by force nor by moral suasion and settles down to lead a peaceful life. She is interrupted by a meddlesome maiden, Nineteen Hundred and Five. Battle ensues in which her boyish qualities come to the rescue. Miss Nineteen-Five entertains Miss Nineteen-Six on Halloween as a peace offering. Miss Nineteen-Six plays basket-ball with Miss Nineteen-Five and es- tablishes a reputation worth having. Alas! Miss Nineteen-Six discovers that there are professors who flunk tests merely for the purpose of exercising their consciences. Miss Nineteen-Six gives a dance and attends a masquerade. Also discovers that when one is a Freshman one writes daily themes for pleasure, and that as Spring approaches Freshmen are forced to learn the Quality of Mercy” in preparation for the life of Sophomore. She goes to Commencement and rejoices that, her own is still three years distant. CHAPTER II. in which Miss Nineteen Hundred and Six becomes just Naughty- Six” and persuades the little Freshmen that the elevator is for the use of the Faculty and Sophomores. She attends a spread given by Miss Nineteen-Seven, who is not in the least hospitable. On this account she meets Miss Seven on the battlefield of basket-ball and scores a number of points, living up to her previous reputation. She is well supported in her struggle by the encouragement of clear old Nineteen-Four, who has now grown up, but still takes a kindly interest in the doings and sayings of the children. “Naughty-Six” discovers that it is pleasing to spend one’s study hours upon the Sophomore couch in polite conversation. Also that the amount of Greek translated in class is inversely pro- portional to the amount of discussion evoked. “Naughty-Six” holds her own in the social world and wins the hearts and the promises of advertisements of two gentlemen by the names of Maresi and Muller. She goes to a tropical ball and takes Nineteen-Four for a trolley ride. She goes to Commencement, but it is not much fun. After it is over dear old Nineteen-Four has gone and ”Naughty-Six” has no longer a big sister to stand by her. “Naughty-Six” must take care of herself. CHAPTER III. In which “Naughty-Six” becomes an upper classman and finds that life is real and there is work for Juniors. Somehow one forgets that she was ever anything but just good, steady, hard-working Nineteen-Six. She is very busy but she is a jolly Junior. She no longer has time to plan little surprises for the benefit of Nine- teen-Seven, but she establishes a good firm friendship with her Freshmen sisters. Nineteen-Six begins to write a book which is called “The Oracle.” She also gives a play for which she induces each and every one of her friends to buy tickets—for she can argue—she has not studied Logic in vain. She knows the value of money, too. Has she not read volumes upon the subject? If she hasn't she had better not mention it or “there will be an F., young ladies.” At odd moments she still plays basket-ball. She works and meanwhile plans for the greatest of events, her Junior Prom. It is to be the greatest prom. Adelphi ever knew. Her seat in chapel is frequently unoccupied. One docs not have to attend chapel when one is a Junior. He who does not “Carpe diem” may have the “diem” taken away. Nineteen-Six means more to the Adelphi and the Adelphi means every- thing to Nineteen-Six. {To be Concluded in the 1907 Oracle.) Nineteen Hundred and Seven Motto—Be just and fear not.

So listen, now. to the story of the doings and undoings (if there be any such) of our little state. Having conscientiously committed to memory the “Nunc est biben- dum of Lauriger Horatius and conned repeatedly the pages of a certain Adams on the one hand and, on the other, having proved to our task-mas- ters, the Sophomores, that we were weil able to hold our own (couch, etc.) we were passed on with honor to the dignity and the duties of Sophomores —with due emphasis upon the fore part of the word. During this year, while in the hands of our respected instructor in the history of art, we arc learning to distinguish infallibly between an Egyp- tian sphinx and a Babylonian winged bull, to realize that one must first perform the duties of a Ka before he can become a “Khoo,” and inci- dentally to tread with the step of a Juliet and speak in the tones of a Cor- delia. I11 mathematics, history, and science our versatile class is making equally rapid progress, and daily does each one of us exemplify the recup- erative powers of the human species as she rises from the heaps of refer- ence books showered in great profusion from the generous hand of the Professor of English. But the most important branch has been the study of the Freshman class, and thereby hangs a tale. Never did any body or individual have a more vivid conception of duty than our class has in this direction. They really seem to “fear nothing so much in the universe as that they shall not know all their duty or shall fail to do it.” With relentless vigor they have put the class of '08 through a system of training calculated to make them fit subjects for the Czar of Russia. The victims were con- stantly made to feel that the slightest deviation from the straight and narrow path of submission would be instantly detected and chastised. As a sign of their subjection they one day gaily flaunted the red livery of their masters in chapel. But we have not been unkind to them, for, realizing their lender years, we Sophs lent them our couch for a sufficient period. At the Hallowe’en party they were required to signify their obedience, which they did very creditably. Finally '08 decided to give a party, but their friends, the Sophs, were not yet quite sure of their ability to conduct such an affair, so they deemed it necessary to be present, at least during the first part of the evening, to see that the business was properly arranged and the lemonade not too strong. And, in justice, they will say that the children looked very cunning and behaved very well. On the whole, the Sophomores may congratulate themselves on the results of their good work and may rest (after the basket-ball game) with a complacent feeling of duty well done. We will just mention in passing that we once enjoyed a brief respite and gave a Limerick party to the Seniors. In the hope and confidence that the events of the future—the dance, the tea, and the games—will be as successful as those of the past, 07 retires, for another year, with a sigh of content, from the limelight of history.

The kindness of people in general was surprising, but we were positively amazed at those queer beings whom we heard called the ‘‘wise fools.’’ These self-appointed mothers “bade us bind our hair’’ and when we demurred were good enough to do it for us and escort us to chapel decked in ribbons gay. When they found that we, with pardonable ignorance of etiquette, failed tc return the compliment by decorating them in turn they made the best of it and with their own hands beautified their habitation. But, oh, how bare that habitation looked after we had followed their example! Yet imitation is the sincerest flattery, Nought-Seven. The kindest attention we received from the Sophomores was the Iial- lowe’en party. We cannot express our thanks for the good time we en- joyed and the many gifts, whose beauty surpassed their usefulness. We have already won some honor in college, for some of our mem- bers have been chosen for the play. We are pleased with this recognition of our early developed histrionic talent. It is too bad that we cannot tell about the great conflict in basket-ball, but since we are so young and light of foot we trust we may prophesy vic- tory for our side. So long live the Freshmen! Mav they always be as happy and suc- cessful as hitherto! Senior Normal Class President...... Vice-President Secretary...... Treasurer. . . . H istorian....

Well, no doubt you can hear us, for we do talk quite vociferously. But, then, talking has been introduced into the kindergarten gifts as the thirteenth. Unlucky? Yes, but only for the teachers. Anyhow, for a class of forty we are really very good and study diligently, as well as play. Playing is part of our work—which is not so paradoxical as it sounds. When the Normal Class of '05 was formed last year the prospect of a successful amalgamation was dubious, for we criticised one another se- cretly and severely. Yes, indeed we did. But suddenly, like a ray of sunshine, the light bird ’ beamed into our midst and a laugh echoed. It was our breezy Marv from the West, who taught us candor. From that time we shouted our criticisms, and now we are the most loving class in A-d-e-l-p-h-i. Didn’t you hear about our exercises and play last Spring? If not, we refer you to Charles Frohman. The only mistake in the affair was that the rehearsals were made so attractive that Miss Delapierre and others— ahem!—er—what was I saying? Oh, yes, that we gave a masquerade dance, too, about which we shall tell you—nothing. Our catered luncheon to the Seniors was a great success, regardless of Miss Miller’s announce- ment. Aren’t we popular? Three of us engaged! We hope you will all do as well as we, especially our baby sister class, for they could afford to lose one or two. We are teaching already and enjoying it, too, only we do wish Mary would tell us how she does it. We are all going to work and surprise Mr. Maxwell by passing his rather EASY examinations; and then farewell, Adelphi! Farewell, playmates! Happy day now to you!’’ Junior Normal Class OFFICERS President...... Vice-President Vice-President Secretary...... Treasurer...... Minnie Behrends Florence Demott .Alice E. Archer ....

V 1907=1908 On the eighteenth of February occurred the event of events connected with the Girls’ Athletic Association, “The Annual Freshman-Sophomore Basket-Ball Game.” The usual program of the day had been somewhat changed by vote of the Association and the game began at four in the afternoon. ’Twas indeed a Red Letter day for the Sophomores, notwithstanding the fact that the Freshmen played with a will and a score that was much to their credit. The game was followed by a supper, at which most of the Faculty and members of the Athletic Association were present. In the evening the College Hall was the scene of a very jolly dance.

X. “Rectius vives, Licini ” Licinius, O press not on the deep, Or, cautious of the storm, too closely keep Your bark in clanger near the shore so steep,— Live wisely. I f golden mediocrity you choose, The squalor of a hovel mean you lose, And, too, the halls where biting envy woos— Choose soberly. The highest pine the mighty winds upturn, High towers crash with greater loss, we learn, The highest peak with thunderbolts gods burn— The highest. In prosperous times, the heart great losses fears, In poverty there is a hope that cheers, A hope that looks, in spite of passing years, For better things. If hard your lot, ’twill not be always so, At times the Muse awakes to zither low. Apollo does not always stretch his bow— Not always.

A Noric sword, a raging fire, Nor Jupiter with thunder dread, No more deter a mortal’s ire, Than hungry seas with shipwrecks fed. Prometheus, making men from clay, From brute creation took the parts, And gave to men, the poets say, A lion’s anger, for their hearts.

Annual Proceedings at (A)del(p)hi The Rajah of Delhi, accompanied by a retinue of richly attired ser- vants, enters the public square, where many score townsmen await him, kneeling. The Rajah begins: “Accursed slaves, according to our exceeding clemency, we have decreed a day in every year whereupon ye are fred to speak your mind anent your heaven-born rulers, and if it be your pleasure, appoint unto yourselves others in their stead. ' Wherefore now confess openly the truth. Whom will ye have to rule you in our stead?” A moment’s silence. Then an old man arises from the midst of the kneeling throng and, with a profound salaam, proceeds: “O heaven-born, may it please thee to continue to rule us in mercy!” He kneels as before, and a second venerable man adds: “That, also, is my plea, O heaven-born!” The Rajah gravely continues: “Ye have heard the prayer of twain, as is the law. Have ye aught else to say ?” The first old man arises: “O heaven-bom, let my prayer be as the prayer of all. Rule thou in mercy over us.” The second old man adds: “Yea, that is the prayer of all.” For a moment there’s silence. Then the kneeling multitude, with a loud cry, exclaims, “Rule thou over us, O heaven-born!” Then says the Rajah: “Well have ye chosen, accursed slaves, and in my mercy I accept your plea. But lo! what of our well-beloved vizier? Whom will ye in his place? Answer, accursed!” For a while there is silence; then the same old man arises and, with a reverent salaam, cries out: “May it please the just vizier to continue to defend the poor.” He sinks to his knees again, while the second old man repeats: “That also is my plea, O heaven-born.” The Rajah then calls out, as before : “Ye have heard the plea of twain, as is the law. What have ye to say?” Again the first old man: “Hear mine as the prayer of all, O heaven- born!” The second old man confirms his words, and the multitude, with one voice, exclaim: ‘‘Let the just vizier protect us! The Rajah, well pleased, announces: “It is justly spoken. My vizier sliall protect you, as hitherto. But come, what of the tax-collector? and the honored keeper of the rolls? Whom will ye in their stead? As before, the first old man declares: May it please the honorable tax-collector to take our gold yet another year, and still let the keeper of the rolls record thy deathless deeds, () heaven-born! The second old man confirms his words, and the kneeling multitude expresses the same desire. Thereupon the Rajah repeats his approval, and withdraws, followed by his attendants. The silent multitude arise and retire to their abodes, where, in answer to anxious queries, they re- mark : Oh, we just re-elected the same officers for another year. The Desideratum of a Sophomore I'd like to own a Freshman And keep it on a shelf. And teach it what it ought to know To properly dress itself. I’d teach it pretty manners And force it to say 'Please,' And just for fun. I'd make it run And serve me on its knees.” A Semester Exam The flunks were writing busily. Writing with all their might; They did their very best to make Themselves appear quite bright— And this was odd, because they knew That scarce a word was right. John Sanford and Doc b'radcnburgh Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand : If this were only finished up,” They said, it would be grand. “If seven F’s and seven P’s We give the whole crowd there. Do you suppose,” John Sanford said, That it would be quite fair? I think so,” said Doc Fradenburgh, “I’m sure that I don’t care.” Oh. students, come and talk with us,” John Sanford did beseech, A little talk, a pleasant taik About the things we teach. We cannot do with more than four To have a word with each.” Four undergraduates came up, Reluctant to repeat What they had written out just now And eager to retreat— And this was odd, because, you know, They’d written very neat. “The time has come, John Sanford said, To talk of many things— Of dates and deaths and dauntless deeds, Of parasites and kings, And why the Carthaginians won And how the Siren sings. “We did not know,” the students cried, Turning a little blue, “That this was just the sort of thing That we should have to do. “So much the worse.’ John Sanford said; “So much the worse for you.” Four other failures followed these And yet another four : And thick and fast they came at last And more and more and more. While those despairing students left And hastened out the door. “It's very sad, John Sanford said, “That they arc all so thick— And don't you think that we, perhaps, Are getting through too quick?” Doc Fradenburgh said nothing But, “The whole bunch makes me sick.” “I weep for you, John Sanford said, I deeply sympathize. With sobs and tears he portioned out F’s of the largest size, Holding his pocket handkerchief Before his streaming eyes. Oh, students ’ said Doc Fradenburgh, We’ve had our little fun; Shall we be trotting home again?” But answer came there none— And this was scarcely odd, because They’d gone out—every one. A Telephone Call in the Year 1908 ELLO, Central, give me 1908 Adelphi College—Yes—She is the Senior class now. Hello—this 1908? Yes, this is 1906— do you remember me? You were an unsophisticated Soph when I left. I can’t imagine you now with the dignity that be- longs to a Senior. But tell me, how is college getting on ? And the Fac- ulty—is it still the same? Dr. Frady says he’s going to give everyone “F” for the semester? Don’t feel nervous about that. He’s not half as savage as he pretends to be. Did he ever tell you how brilliant I was in Pol. Econ.? Speaks of it every day? Well—he always was proud of me. What did you say ? Dr. Sanford and Prof. Lawton are conducting their lectures entirely in Latin and Greek respectively! I was afraid it would come to that. And how is Dr. Kerr? Pardonnez—moi—Dr. Car— you’ve at last adopted his pronunciation, have you? Dr. Coar? Yes, I know he’s the same—I’m still a member of Die Bodenrunde,” you see. His following” is as large as ever, I suppose. What’s that? You want to tell me one of Mr. Brewer’s latest jokes? Oh, no—don't—for I’m sure I heard it in my Freshman year. Is that true? That Dr. Burke never gives you any reference reading? Flow did that ever happen? I hope you realize how lucky you are. Yes; I heard the other day that Miss Tucker has taken another degree. And I also heard that Dr. Prexy has taken the study-room for his office. Oh, it is true. You poor things! II must be so uncomfortable sitting out on the steps. I didn’t hear what you said—oh—that Miss Flodges has taken Mr. Tanner’s place? I was always afraid that would happen. But I must stop talking—I know I’m keeping you from your work. Latin is your next recitation? Be sure and be on time—for no excuses for tardiness are ever accepted there— so glad to hear about the professors—will call you up again—good-bye.

This morning, before we take up the physiological-psychical study of the formation of the ear, I will ask—ah— Miss—er—er—(pause of five minutes while he vainly searches for some- one who might have a lucid interval”)—er—Miss B-------- to give a rapid review of the hypothetical-disjunctive dilemma of a destructive syllogism. Miss I. P. B.—Well, doctor, before answering, may I ask one ques- tion which I never quite understood: What is the intension of the exten- sion of an arm? Dr. H------- i (thoughtfully knitting his eyebrows, and incidentally his nose and mouth)—Ahem—ah—er—ha—I can readily sec why that puzzles you. And first let 11s determine to what figure the arm belongs, and the mood of the extension. Perhaps—er—(apologetic glance at the class)—someone will volunteer some light on this subject. (Silence for ten minutes.) Bold, brave Sophomore (with very innocent tone, and scornful look at admiring (?) Juniors)—Well, it seems to me, Dr. H-----n, that if a thing is true, it’s true, isn’t it ? (Silence as Dr. H----n slowly brings his finger-tips together.) B. B. Soph.—Well, if it’s true, it isn’t false. I don’t see how it can be anything else. Dr. H-------n—Yes—er—ah—ahem! Well, that’s right, as far as you’ve gone, but it isn't quite the point I wished to bring out. Perhaps (with a little hesitating laugh) I had better explain it myself. Now, the idea is this: The distributed middle of a universal major premise used in a sorites of the Goclenian order, as compared in syllogistic reasoning with the hypothetical-disjunctive conclusion of Figure III., violates the rule ol illicit major of the minor term, and (sigh from the Juniors) that’s the thought, isn’t it? (Nodding his head yes,” and looking at them with an anything-but-dummies-could-undcrstand-this expression.) It’s very simple. I don’t think you need be too particular and reduce it to the rcsi- dues of an Aristotelian question-begging epithet, and so on, by means of contraposition, but-- (Bell rings at five minutes of twelve. All anxious to get to lunch- room.) Dr. H-------n (very excitedly)—Er—ah—huh—hi—ahem—er—just one word about the physical-psychical formation of the ear, if you will, which, unfortunately, we haven't had time to take up. I spent more time on the other subject than I intended to. But all you have to remem- ber is the structure of the labyrinth, and the tympanum, the cochlea, audi- tory ossicles, Eustachian tube, scala vestibuli, and, if you will, the en- dolvmph, and rods of Corti. Then, if you will take in advance- Juniors, unable to control their hunger, and forgetting their manners, rush precipitately through the door.

Senior Finance by no Means Frenzied Loud laughs the Senior now with pride, Her other triumphs put aside, For the treasurer reads the last report. She's labored well, done what she ought, And if her ways have grasping grown She does not care,—site’s not alone. Much have I saved and little spent, Gathered great sums and nothing lent; And when you hear the deals I’ve made You'll think the year has more than paid. Give ear. O sisters, to my tale, You’ll hear of many a thrifty sale. Our chafing-dish, though worn and old, Stray rubbers, lost and swiped, we've sold ; Commencement seats will bring in dough. Now here’s a game which isn’t slow,— We charged the little Junior girls Ten cents apiece to adorn their curls With tassels moved around to front— This is a jolly get-rich stunt! The couches, pillows, pictures, all, The right to give a Senior Hall, Have brought their price. Now, hearken ye, ■ We’ve tried to sell the Faculty, Graven on a copper plate, And worn by time as smooth as slate. We tried it on the Junior Class, They said ‘Thanks, we think we’ll pass’; The Freshmen, guileless, took us up— They’ve even bought the cloak-room cup!

We should hate to say—but don't be too familiar with Death, or you’ll lose him, too. I feel that my vocation in life is the writing of love-stories. I have written up all my experiences so far—how can I acquire new ones ?” Joseph Dunn. We much regret this heartless question, but will furnish full instruc- tions if you will kindly send a stamped and addressed envelope. “I am anxious to compile a dictionary of slang. Where can I find the latest expressions?” Charles H. Levermore, Ph.D. Full information can be obtained from the Freshmen. “How can I make the scholarship of my fellow-students equal to my own ?” Ruth Benson. Lend them the reference-books at least once a month. Can you recommend a sure and speedy cure for cuts?” MARGUERITE WELLES. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Round-Table Meeting Preliminaries. Miss S-h----z reads a paper outlining an essay of Emerson’s, inter- rupting herself at intervals of two seconds each with such forceful and profound criticisms on the text, as : I don’t think that's so!” (Tone of final- ity.) What’s the matter with the man?” (Tone of impatience.) “Im- possible!” (Tone of vexation.) Absurd! (Tone of mild contempt.) That's what I call fool too! (Tone of profound disdain.) Ceases as she catches sight of shocked expression of Timid-Mcmbcr- Who-Adores-Emerson. Presses lips together with smile of one superior to tiie weakness of subservient literary idolatry. Madame President only smiles the Brenner smile at the iconoclasm Looks at offender, who is nudging neighbor. Do you wish to add any- thing to your exhaustive study?” Miss S-h------z—“No, but I think Miss Da—p—t wants to talk.” Miss Da—p—t (hesitates)— No, not this trip. (Sotto voce) I think Emerson’s a big. blooming—” (humbly ( ?) ) Well, I guess I'm too practical to appreciate such-up-in-thc-air-” Miss S------h— It’s superlatively transcendental ” Madame President (sublimely ignoring interruption, addresses other corner of room)— What do you think of the idea we dug out of Emerson last week, concerning the sensuous character of verbal ideas? Speaking of blue, for instance—how many of you got a mental picture of ‘blue’ when ! said ‘blue’?” Nineteen-twentieths of the members delightedly bob assent. The other one, however, merely looks blue. Miss X. (eagerly)— 1 saw a dark blue strip pinned on a white sheet.” Miss T------n— I saw a blue-pencilled 'P with a halo’ on my test paper.” Miss W------g (softly)— Oh, what a lovely dream !” Madame President (again smiles the Brenner smile)— Girls, we have only two minutes left in which to discuss Emerson’s ‘Friendship Is his ideal yours, Miss E---r?” Miss E-----r (dryly)— Not exactly. Seems to me it would be mighty uncomfy living with Emerson. I'm glad I need only read him at a safe distance of time and---” Miss Da—p—t (savagely)— I think Emerson’s as selfish-------” Miss L—v—m—c— Not selfish, but self-centred, my dear.” Miss D-----o— A distinction without a diff---. Bell rings. Madame President— ‘Oh, girls, do read for next time the ‘Over-sour essay—(who said ‘over-shoes?’ Take care, that’s a symptom of aphasia) —and write a criticism of it in blank verse or quotations—as you like-” (A voice said to the editorial-— Which the Lituus will gratefully accept.”) Another voice— If the waste-baskets are overtaxed.” Exeunt members with a universal wise expression, awed gaze of Freshmen and profs. “What’s in a Name?” Three maidens went sailing down into the town, Down into the town where the big stores are; Each thought on the method would serve her the best In extracting “page ads.” from the business men there.

Now, Beatrice told them how well it would pay To give “ads.” to our “Annual, that’s published each year”; And Frances was coaxing and sweet to them all; But Mira just walked in and mentioned her name. The committee must work, though others may sleep; “Our household, my friend, in oil-stoves you keep. I’m Miss Kelly, of South Portland Avenue.” The knife of the butcher his nerveless hand dropped At sight of a damsel so haughty of mien; The gas-man grew pale as if he’d inhaled.

The “850” HE elevated train draws into the station, the gate opens, a girl rushes out on the platform, descends the stairs regardless of the scene of death at the foot presented by a play bill. The side- walk is reached. She pauses, but only an instant, takes breath. In sight there is neither “co-ed” nor faculty. The race is continued. Re- newed is her speed. The corner is passed, the goal looms up in the dis- tance. On, on, faster and faster. The steps are gained, the door is flung open. A faculty member picks himself up and brushes his coat. The study room, the arms of a Junior who thrusts on a cap and a gown and pushes her out in the hall. Chapel is reached. The very last Freshman has en- tered. The lire files into place. No sound but the solemn processional. All is peace and repose. The president smiles his approval. The last Fresh man wears white worsted gloves. But there is no accounting for taste. Victory is hers. She ha[| won the “850.” The winning of an “880” is not to be com iared with it. Oft in the stilly night When slumber should have bound me, I weep my doleful plight, And the troubles that confound me. The ads not got, The jokes forgot, Pictures that turn out badly, Girls who can write But won’t indite, Are cares that try me sadly! Thus in the stilly night When slumber should have bound me, I weep my doleful plight And the troubles that confound me. Song When skies are sunny, dearest, ’Tis then I long for you! I long to share the glory Of heaven’s brightest blue; I’d scatter showers of roses To crown my lady fair, And watch the sunbeams dancing In ripples of her hair. When skies are cloudy, dearest, ’Tis then I long for you ! This cozy fireside ingle Was surely meant for two. With you beside me sitting. Come rain or hail or snow, They could not reach our refuge Within the firelight’s glow. So in all weather, dearest, ’Tis then I long for you ! Without your presence, Nature Has lost her power to woo. Spring’s violets bring no pleasure, And summer’s bloom is flown, Since you, my love, my treasure, Have left me all alone. The Juniors—as Seen Through a Glass, Darkly When, O Juniors, do you mean to cease abusing our patience? How long is that conceit of yours still to mock us? When is there to be an end of that unbridled audacity of yours, swaggering about as it does now ? Do not the smiles of the Seniors, do not the hints of the Sophs, do not the whisperings of the pea-green Freshies, do not the looks and counte- nances of the venerable Faculty have any effect upon you? Do you not feel that your deceptions are known? Do you not see that the college is laughing at you, and your bluffs are rendered powerless by the fact that everyone knows what you are? Did you sit up last night studying Economics, or the night before last—where were you, what were you doing? But the Faculty knows all these things. Frady secs them, and Macfarlane is watching and marking down and chalking off everyone who makes mistakes in his lines. And We, gallant fellow-students that we arc, think we are doing our duty to the Public in thus exposing you. After a Flunk My brain is weary and very tired, My soul oppressed; And how fervently I've desired Rest—just rest! The courses grow more hard each year; They arc no jest. Vacation, come, and bring my prayer For rest—just rest! The Art of Conversation at a Dance ‘Isn’t the music fine to-night ?” “Yes, Muller is always great.” “And isn’t the number here just right?” A crush I simply hate.” “And don’t you think we have a good floor?” “What is that piece they are playing?” “I do so hope we get an encore.” What is that you were saying?” And then it was dance and dance and dance, But they silently waltzed around, For he did not make a single advance, And she did not utter a sound. When the music was over they had frappe, In a cozy corner they sat; But as for mirth or laughter gay, There was not a bit of that. He looked intent at the shoes he wore. She studied her dainty fan, And each was a simply splendid bore, This up-to-date girl and man. When back to the ball-room they gladly fled, With a smile that was divine, “I’ve had an awfully good dance,” she said; He replied, “The pleasure was mine.” Extracts from Adelphi College Catalog All Courses Open to IVomen!

Philosophy Four An ancient old Greek, Heraclitus, Did all in his power to ritus. You may think it's strange, But everything’s “change” According to this Heraclitus. The fates were quite hard on old Bruno, Of his struggles with science but few know. He was burned at the stake For a sporty old fake, And the monads stopped working in Bruno. “Ccgito, ergo sum,” said Descartes, Twas the thought that was dear to his hartcs, “If some means I could find To get rid of my mind What a body I’d have,”—said Descartes. Have you read of the Kritik of Kant ? The meaning is painfully scant. Oh where’s the man can Get the hang of his plan? Perhaps he’ll explain it—we can’t! Judge Crane—“Marriage is a contract--” B. G.—“No marriage for me. I’ve had enough of contract Notice Twenty-two maidens about to leave their Alma Mater offer the fol- lowing attractions.

F. ---- (?) There once was a Greek named Achilles, Who made other Greeks all look like sillies; When he sulked in his tent. To pieces they went— Like policemen who haven’t their billies. A warrior once lived, Alexander, Who if he’d sense to meander Could have found heaps of land To subdue and command, So he needn't have wept like a gander. An Everyday Incident A maiden to the fourth floor bound Cries, “Luther, do but tarry, I dread to hear the loud bell's sound, One more your lift can carry.” Now who be ye would in this style Your rotund person flatten ?” Oh, I am one in fear that 1 '11 Be late again to Latin. “I’ve knocked down angry Freshmen’s chaii In great precipitation, And if I’m made to climb the stairs I'll lose my reputation. Out spoke the cruel-hearted wight, “I’m going, ma’am, I’m ready. You surely see we have not quite The room for any lady.” By this the crowd had grown apace, The angry girls were shrieking, With unbecoming scowl each face Grew dark as lie was speaking. “Oh, haste ye, haste,” the lady cries Who the breathless line was leading. Flight after flight that line descries As up the steps they’re speeding. And still they ran a race with Time— And Time was fast prevailing. “O Fate, let not our weary climb Be wholly unavailing.” ’Tis vain ! The loud bell peals too soon, The door they’re but approaching; Breathless and weak their class they seek And sad Doctor’s eyes reproaching. Who Are They ? Extremely Strenuous. A Hero.

This Is the Poem Omitted from the Page Preceding the Literary Department. This rare gem was found in the excavations on the site of the old Adelphi College. There are several manuscripts which differed somewhat in text. The notes below give the contested points: 1. In the Greek room of this college 2. Reigns its deity 3. He is noted for a fairness 4. Which we ever see 5. Noted also is his temper 6. Calm as placid lake 7. For his presence we are thankful 8. To the gods so kind. Notes. 1. 4. ever; never, cf. J. M. VI. 14. 1.6. This line is doubtful. Schol. gives “Blustering as the wind.” This reading is probably the correct one, as it supplies the rhyme at the end of the line. 1. 7. Vat. ms. transposes the we and are, making the line a question. It is a frantic editor, And she stoppeth every maid. ''Don’t tear your hair! My, hew you glare, You make me feel afraid. “The class-room doors are open wide And I must hurry in ; The last hymn’s sung, the last bell’s rung, The lessons now begin.” She holds her with an iron grasp, I want a poem,” quoth she. Please don’t. You know I cannot write, You’ll only sorry be.” She holds her till her two arms ache, The frightened girl stands still. And swears to scribble all she wants, The editor has her will. A Senior’s Lament THE DAYS GONE BY. (From 1. W. Riley.) O the days gone by! O the days gone by! They were happy Freshman hours, and a happy Freshman, I. There were four long years before me that seemed ages, then, to me. But when you're young, the future never worries you, you sec; A book to learn, a team to cheer, a victory to cry, And my happy heart brimmed over in the days gone by. O the days gone by, when through Soph and Junior years, To mingle with the pleasure, a flunk or two brought tears, Another team to shout for, a class you’ve learned to love, Some dances you must go to, and a spread you’re not above; It’s queer what lots of happiness you find if you will try, But I didn’t have to look for it in days gone by. O the days gone by! O the days gone by! 'Tis the Senior year that makes you love Adelphi till you die; Then the friends you made as Freshmen you find are friends for life; And the thought of separation seems to cut you like a knife. College days are like a story, holding neither sob nor sigh, In the golden, olden glory of the days gone by. 1905. Advance Notes from the Weekly Hituus To express my admiration of the Oracle, I can do no better than say, in the words of Walt Whitman : “Hail, Oracle! Hail self-sacrificing Board of Editors! Hail advertisements—would you were more! You faculty pictures! You convocation program! You record of basket-ball games—I love you all! Hail! Snow ! Sleet!” Charles H. Levermore, Ph.D. The work of the women students of Adelphi College, as exemplified in the year book of 1906, is worthy of the highest commendation. The altruistic motives and the broad humanitarian spirit displayed throughout meet with my unqualified approval. Alice Blythe Tucker, Dean of the Women Students. I shall require 1906 to be added to my list of dates. John A. Sanford. Nothing in my scholastic and literary career has afforded me greater pleasure than the kind attention paid to me in the Oracle 1906. I can only hope that I deserve such considerate words. Wm. Cranston Lawton. This book has renewed my youth. I always did like those jokes! William C. Peck ham. The Oracle 1906 shows with wonderful clearness the workings of the child mind. Frances II. Flagler. Convocation, 1916 Here you arc at last! I’ve been looking all over for you. Couldn’t you be on time, even for Convocation, Mollie?” said Bertha, as she led her friend toward a deep alcove of the spacious reception-hall. All around them groups of alumnas and undergraduates chattered incessantly until the babel of voices made continued conversation almost impossible. My dear, you’ve no idea how I’ve hurried,” replied Mollie. You know Ruby forgot all about Convocation, and selected to-day for the dress rehearsal of her new opera, and as I have the leading soprano role, I simply couldn’t miss it. I couldn't persuade Ruby to come here with me, though. Florence Duffey called for her, in her new auto, to take her up to see her model farm in Hartford. But tell me—how did you get here so early ? I thought the Legislature was very busy this session.” So it is,” answered the Hon. Bertha Chapman, but Meta was up in Albany, trying a case, and as she has great influence with the Gov- ernor, on account of her vigorous work last election, he consented to an adjournment. See! there’s Meta, talking to Florence Parker and Mira. Let’s go over and join them.” “Glad to see you, girls,” said Meta, as they came up. “Mira has been arguing with me until I scarcely know where I am. Not even my long experience at the bar can avail against her. Ever since she assumed the editorship of the North American Revieiv she thinks she is an author- ity on each and every subject.” But there is one subject in which she must yield to Rose,” responded Mollie. “I think her daily articles on 'Advice to the Lovelorn’ are simply fine. She has such a mastery of her subject! Just see how eagerly poor, dear Clare is listening to her. She often says she reads her articles as carefully as she does the Herald personals, and between the two she is sure to meet her ideal some day. Even Grace thinks Rose an authority, and, as she has six engagements and four marriages to her credit, she surely ought to know.” For my part,” said Florence, “I prefer to read Kerry’s fashion page in the Ladies’ Home Journal. She is making a great success of it; her ‘Hints on Hairdressing' alone gained 82,657 new subscribers for the magazine.” “You always were good at figures, Florence, answered Meta. “I tell you, we were all proud when you were elected Comptroller. When it comes to public officials, our class certainly has a brilliant record. And look at our pedagogical successes! They say Meta’s and Martha’s ‘School for Twins’ has no equal in this country, while Neva’s kindergarten and Belle's ‘School for the Social Training of Street Sweepers' are also deserv- edly popular. Though, to tell the truth, I never believed Neva would be contented to remain a kindergartner so long. ’ Don’t forget that Maureen is now Professor of Mathematics, added Florence. “And just look at Professor Holzmann talking to all those girls. He never would have dared do that before his chemistry classes became such an attraction. Fully half the girls at Adelphi attend them. By the way, do you know they say Adelphi’s fine showing in athletics is due to the fact that Ethel makes out all the schedules for the games? “Don’t you think our class has shown wonderful histrionic talent? asked Mira. “Besides Mollic, there is Harrictte, who is certainly the finest tragic actress on the stage to-day, while Marianna’s skirtdances have been all the rage this winter. And though Mr. McDonald and Mr. Onken ap- pear only in vaudeville, you cannot deny that they are clever. Why, they have given performances at which every trustee of Adelphi College was present!” “Yes; our class has certainly turned out well,” continued Bertha, “and there have been not a few surprises. Of course, everybody expected Ida and Hattie to marry, but whoever would have imagined Beattie set- tling down to prosaic married life? It must have been Dora’s notable success as a housekeeper that influenced her, for she, too, has become thor- oughly domestic. I suppose she must be moving again, else she would certainly be here to-day. “I miss some of the other girls, too, said Meta. “Are any of them travelling?” “Why, you know Regina is always cruising with her husband,” answered Mollic, “and of course Frances couldn’t come all the way from Utah. I guess she has enough to do to keep the peace with her twelve co-wives. You need a iot of tact when you're the thirteenth wife of a Mormon elder! I guess she must have almost as wild a time as Mar- guerite and Winifred in their fraternity house at Yale. Wouldn’t I like to keep house for those Seniors! But, dear me, how long we’ve been talk- ing! If I’m not careful, I shan’t be able to sing to-morrow. Good-bye, girls; I think I had better go home now.” “And I, too,” said Meta. ‘‘I have to prepare a brief to-night, and I am sure you ought to be at work on your budget, Florence.” “And I ought to be correcting proofs this very minute,” added Mira. It’s such a treat to talk of old times, though! Convocation is certainly a great institution. However, we’ll all be together again at Commence- ment. Good-bye, Meta; good-bye, Mollie; good-bye.” L’Envoi ’Tis finished ; we may lay aside The work which filled so many a day. Our year book’s written, yet we stay, As if we fain would here abide. For gaily did the hours pass While we portrayed our college life,— Our friends the profs, our toil and strife, And all the foibles of our class. And now our book is all complete; Yet one thing still remains to do— As we now leave the reader’s view, One little favor we entreat. As we have written, read each page; Nothing in malice here was penned, But friendship guided to the end, And sought to proffer counsel sage. Dear class, ’twas you who set our task; We trust our efforts win your praise. Take this account of happy days And say, “Well done!’’ Tis all we ask. Acknowledgment We wish to thank Mr. Douglas McClees for his generous work and assistance in getting together the illustrations in this book. We are also pleased to acknowledge the kindness of Professor Peck- ham in taking a number of the photographs for us. The Board of Editors.
