We’ve loved our task—with eyes bent on the issue; We’ve loved it for the lessons it has taught, We’ve loved it for itself, but more than all else, We’ve loved it for the comradeship it brought. And, now, ’twixt fear and hope, we bring it to you, This token of our labor and our love,— Enough if aught it holds within its covers, To smiles or sighs content its readers move. “Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these—It might have been. Editor’s Preface Once more we send forth this book among our discriminating friends for their criticism, favorable or otherwise, and though we have the customery Greeting and L’Envoi, we deem it wise to insert here a few remarks by way of comment. It has been our purpose to enlarge the scope of.this year’s “Oracle” and make it more truly a book representative of the entire College, while at the same time not to destroy its identity as a distinctly Junior Class Book. Whether we have succeeded or not, it is for our readers to decide. With a comfortable theory that the Editors’ valuation of such a book as this speedily becomes that of its readers, we will refrain from making this preface a series of apologetic and deprecatory remarks for its obvious imperfections, lest we be taken seriously. We therefore give it to you with a confidence gained from having done our best, and if aught there be, between these covers, deserving of your censure or dis- pleasure, we plead in extenuation our inexperience. Work demands part payment in pleasure, and we have worked— only those who have gone before, and blazed the trail, may know how we have worked—and we have endeavored to crystallize the pleasures and joys of the past year, with the true spirit of Adelphi, into our Class- Book. We have had in our minds fine thoughts and bright thoughts which clamored to get into the ‘‘Oracle,” and which we fondly imagined ourselves pouring forth on paper for the edification of our friends: but, alas! when it came to the point, how intangible they were, and how impossible to fuse them into written form. If in future years, Nought-Seven, a glance through these pages will revive old memories, or cause you to dwell awhile upon old friends, or call forth a smile for the past, we can put down our pens with a feeling of well-earned reward.

Said this little maid: ‘‘I know it is all nonsense, and I shan’t believe a word of it; but it would be such a relief just to hear some one say it's not true. Maybe if I wear my pretty green and white dress and tell her my troubles, she will be nice to me.” So in the dead of night, while all her family slept, little Miss Naughty-Six slipped out with a long, black gown and a square, black cap covering her finery, and took her way to a fortune-teller’s. The sorceress was beginning her usual recital, when the derisive smile of her subject put her upon her mettle. You think I cannot reveal to you your future. Wait. This bowl which you see before you is three thousand years old, and in its heart it holds the secrets of all those ages. Now, if I tell you truly the history of your past and present life, will you not then believe what I shall prophesy ?” You have been afflicted with different nick-names throughout your career. Upon your first appearance an unfeeling world, and especially a next-older sister, christened you ‘Freshman.’ This name clung to you for so long that you were loath to part with it. for, as Fresh, did you not cover yourself with glory and with gore in many battles, and down your boisterous sister in the game of basket-ball? And what social honors were yours! It was your very youthfulness that added charm. Your worth was soon recognized, and Sophomore paid homage to you at Hallowe’en, while Junior introduced you to 'Co-eds' at a masquerade given in your honor. Even the Faculty was appreciative, and for the only time in history provided two instructors in English to read your precious dramas and poems. Yes, those were happy days of careless youth, when spreads were a common occurrence, and olives and cocoanut macaroons figured daily in the Latin Quarter. Soon a new nick-name was given to you, and with it came many responsibilities. Chief of these was the care and training of a new baby sister, who asserted her presence too noisily. She wished to eat cake and other indigestible foods which you knew were not good for one of her tender years, so you felt obliged to take them away from her by force, no matter how painful the process. Your own artistic develop- ment was amazing; but even by dressing her in green bows for chapel you could awaken no sense of the aesthetic in her. Your methods of correction were sometimes severe, as when you beat her so soundly in the gym., but her nature was such that to this day she is somewhat rude and untractable. Even as Sophomore you found time for play, and your innate ability and growing attractiveness were well shown at your Christmas reception and in the exchange of entertainments with Nought-four. But it was as ‘Jolly Junior that your hidden powers burst forth in splendor. Then did you first become acquainted with real work. Then did you publish a beautiful book, and show your talents in a play. Then did you plan and execute the greatest Prom, ever, prove your business training in a wonderful ad. party, and exercise your voice in an original melody called ‘Tight-wad Seniors Then did the purchase of rings and the daily perusal of Herald ‘personals' reduce you to the necessity of absolute communistic life and the eating of meals in the Mills Hotel. But most glorious of all, it was in that year that the youths of Adelphi offered you a beautiful silver cup for the privilege of watching you win a series of contests in the gymnasium; and you were gracious enough to comply. And now, little girl, you are Senior. That name will seem shortest of all. In a few months you will drop all nick-names and be known even to your intimates as Miss Naughty-Six; and in a few months after that I foresee that you will make one final change and become Mrs. Naughty-Six. Yes, you need not deny it—you know it yourself. Else why these strange courses in plumbing and ideal homes? Why these chafing-dish parties? Why this glitter of diamonds and this ‘chesty’ appearance? But you have not time just now to bother about that. You must work and wrork. You are very poor at present, though you hold so many offices of trust, and you must toil from dawn till mid- night. You are not allowed even the pleasures of labor unions and strikes. Your lessons are the least consideration. Besides all your executive duties, you must somehow find time for dramatics and basket- ball and Valentine spreads and Mr. Wynn and practice teaching and theatre parties and Senior week and Lituus poems. And through it all you must remember to behave as a shining example for a tribe of younger sisters. It is not an easy life you are leading, dear Senior, but I can encourage you with a glimpse into the future.” Here let us leave them. This revelation is their own particular secret, and let us only hope that it is as bright and happy as Miss Naughty-Six deserves. Junior Class Nineteen Hundred and Seven Motto—Be just and fear not.

Gaze then into the crystal, gaze deep—there revealed is the past, soon the future shall be unfolded before thine eyes. See Naught-Seven, young and unworldly, welcomed to Adelphi by boisterous Miss Soph. In token of her love, Naught-Six binds the younger lassies’ luxuriant tresses with bows of gorgeous green. But though seeming innocent, she is canny and ere long she gayly flaunts a banner, telling to the world that while the Sophomores peacefully slumbered, Naught-Scten's class offiers have been elected. She has won her first victory. Soon the child graces a ghostly gathering. In vain does her elder sister try to daunt her; bravely and unflinchingly she walks through the darkness amid harrowing shrieks and yells. To forgive is divine. Naught-Seven forgives, and not long after is hostess to her sister, Naught-Six, at a brilliantly conducted dance. And now Naught-Seven is become a Sophomore. Cheerfully she takes up the task of teaching the child Naught-Eight. Mow pretty and proud the little one is as she marches into Chapel, wearing her bow of beautiful red, “just tied by big sister.” Hallowe'en Naught-Seven guides her through the labyrinth of Adelphi halls and stairs. The little sister is a docile pupil and follows meekly wherever led. A more formal bow to society is made. The Sophomore Tea is given. Ever graceful and tactful Naught-Seven is an ideal hostess. That Tea shall go down on the annals of history as unequalled. Two teams are drawn up in line for battle. Rash child, Naught- Eight. wouldst win a game of basket-ball? Ah, no! Fate has long since decided the outcome of the contest. Naught-Seven's team is in- conquerable. It is a bright, clear day, with smiling face and shining eyes. Naught- Seven greets Naught-Five and ushers her into the waiting car. Merrily singing they ride along up hill and down dale, through city street and country road. Again your class is a complete success as hostess. Commencement comes, Naught-Seven bids a fond farewell to her sister, Naught-Five, and becomes an upper-classman. Hard, earnest work is before her. She successfully wrestles with biological and botan- ical terms, learns Scotch and Anglo-Saxon, writes learned dissertations, and reads volume upon volume of reference work. She is engaged in publishing a great book called the “Oracle,” and looks forward with keen anticipation to the Junior Prom. All her energy is bent toward making these two successful. Fear not, and doubt, Naught-Seven can- not fail. Maid of N a ugh ty-Se ve n, the past you know; for you the future holds achievement, success, victory. If thou wouldst see more, gaze on—but the crystal grows blurred, too long have we lingered, the light is gone, the crystal is dark. Nineteen Hundred and Eight Motto—Ever onward. Floiver—Ragged Sailor. Colors—Blue and Gold. Class Yell. Sis-boom-bu! Sis-boom-bay! What do we care what the people say? We’re all right! we’re out of sight! For the class of 1908 we fight!

Her mother had not allowed her to bring her skipping rope and hoop, so for the first few days she was rather at a loss for playthings. One day, however, she discovered an enchanted treasure house in the basement, filled with strange toys, of which she soon learned the uses. There were other children to play with, three of them. Miss 1906 was a sweet-tempered child, who gladly lent her best toys to the little stranger. Miss 1907, on the other hand, showed a spiteful and quarrelsome disposition. There was another little girl, 1905. who, although disposed to side with 1907. as a rule held herself rather aloof from the squabbles of the younger children. Little 1908 held her in great reverence, being, if the truth were told, a little bit in awe of her. In course of time 1908 learned that the lunch room and the gym. were in the basement, the Professors were only men after all. and that one took the elevator to reach the tower room. She also learned to take the Latin dictionary from its shelf, when she knew all the time that a Soph, was coming for it in two minutes. When Miss 1908‘s first year was half over, some other little girls came to join her play. She received them very kindly, but could not help enjoying the fun poked at them when they, too. appeared for the first time in long flowing robes of black. At about this time Miss 1907 became very threatening, her insults daily becoming more and more unbearable. At last a day was set for the children to fight out their differences. The walls of the gymnasium flamed with gaudy colors, and the room rang with the songs and cheers of the rivals. Miss 1906 loyally backed little 1908, while 1905 descended from her pedestal and yelled lustily for her sister class. 1908 had another important ally, a great white rooster, wrapped in the blue and gold battle-flag of 1908. Little 1908 fought long and bravely, but in the end her jealous rival overcame her. She managed to roll up a remarkable score against her older sister, who only defeated her by two points. This battle was followed by a jubilant feast, at which all hatchets were buried deep. After this event, there was a swift falling action until June. Then Miss 1908 gathered up her household gods, carried them carefully over to the Sophomore corner, and set them up with great elation. She made one disappointing discovery, however. The Sophomore tassel effect, which she had expected to find so becoming, was really not half so nice as the old Freshman way of wearing it. Still, she realized the necessity of making some sacrifice to advancing dignity. Miss 1908 came back to college in the fall, no longer a small child, but a girl who had tired of games and was beginning to grow dignified. She condescended to amuse herself at the expense of another little girl who had come to Adelphi. This child was very rebellious, needing discipline in many ways, which was given in a kindly spirit by the Sophomores. But 1908 was now of age and was planning a coming out party. This she gave on the day after Christmas. Miss 1906 immediately recognized that she had attained an age worthy of social notice, and invited her to a wedding soon to take place in the 1906 family. She had one of the times of her life, and will always remember Mrs. Taller’s delicious wedding cake. About this time the choice of actors for the yearly play was made, and 1908 had a goodly representation on the caste. Another athletic combat was arranged, this time between 1908 and 1909. This time she had for a mascot a dusky little maiden, beautifully dressed in the blue and gold. Miss 1908 was victorious. She realizes now that it is the fitting thing for the Sophomores to win. Next year, when she is entirely grown up and has little sisters of her own, she may think differently. Miss 1908 hates to bid farewell to her older sisters, but is hoping that her own little sisters will in some sort compensate for that loss. r Nineteen Hundred and Nine Motto— Veritas ct Honoria.

Since we made our own acquaintance last September; Let us tell you of our few defeats, our many victories won, Attention now. we’ll tell as we remember. It is not an idle jest to say, “We came, we saw, we conquered,'” For we did all three with wonderful precision. We came in larger numbers than the other classes here, When we saw the “Sophs”—to fight was our decision. We held our first class meeting 'ere they thought of such a thing; To say they were surprised is very mild. Next morning when we gave our yell, to hear the old halls ring, One would certainly imagine we'd gone wild. A month rolled on. with spreads and hazing filling in the hours, And then on Hallowe'en with thoughtful care. The tender Sophs, to ease their minds or show their vaunted powers, A party gave us. of a kind most rare. Thanksgiving came, and Christmas, too—both likewise passed away; But just before a new year came once more, The College Hall did sec one night a vision bright and gay— Our annual dance, the Freshman-Sophomore. We have made some parts in As You Like It —parts important, too. We’ve lived through “Frady's” jokes and “Daily Themes : We have learned that all things happen through the Irony of Life, We've been taught to do our reference notes in reams. At basket-ball our team has been an honor to the class; Afar off we see visions of the cup. Jf only we could bluff in this, but oh! alack! alas! When on the field we must give bluffing up. They say we are not beautiful, but then what matters this? We have of other qualities the best. And Dr. Felter says that we will ne’er be aught but “Miss.” This awful fate obliterates the rest. You've heard most all about us now. we’ve told you what we know. Now close your eyes and ponder for a time. In mental vision range all other classes in a row. Can any one quite equal Naughty-X’ine?

Dr. John F. Coar, Mrs. John F. Coar. The Bodenriincle of Adelphi College was organized in September. 1904, for the purpose of improving conversational abilities in the Ger- man language. The name Bodenrundc ’ was instigated at the sug- gestion of Dr. J. F. Coar. who deemed this appellation appropriate because at social meetings the members, forming a circle, sit on the floor. In the spring of 1905 the club instituted a custom of presenting a German play. The first attempt, “Lconorens Zopf,” was most successful from both literary and financial standpoints. Although young, this organization has most favorable prospects, and is becoming one of Adelphi’s most successful undertakings. Mathematical Club Officers. President.................................

After the game, the company adjourned to the Study Hall, which had donned its most festive array for the occasion. Everybody enjoyed the spread, and the chafing-dishes did noble service. The songs and yells were even better than usual, and not the least enjoyable part of the programme was the toasts.

On Friday evening, February 23. 1906, the Adelphi College Dramatic Association presented Shakspere’s As You Like It.” After much deliberation, the club had decided to aim at this ambitious mark, and the outcome justified its fondest hopes. From the beautiful natural scenery of the Forest of Arden and the elaborate costumes, true in every detail of time and setting, to the faithful interpretation of char- acter by the actors, everything was effective and consistent and produced the desired impression of an artistic whole. The Association feels much encouraged by this, its first journey into the realm of higher histrionic art, and hopes that the favorable result is but a presage of like success in the future.

Genevieve is what one might call a hustler—when she wants to be—while her favorite occupation is making others work, and she is a wonder at it! Her ability to run things is only surpassed by her fondness for doing so.

We are counting upon Florentina to make the class of ’07 famous, for she is a literary genius with a hectic imagination and an overfondness for love stories of the Laura Jean Libby variety. This is but natural, however, for she is a daughter of Sunny Spain, and though she doesn't say much, she does a heap of thinking, as is shown by her new book, and she can analyze the most complicated expression down to its very origin.

To the utmost can we depend upon her. for if she promises to do a thing, it’s done; and she is probably the one who produced order out of chaos.

When we arc all trying to dodge the profs’ impending questions, and nonchalantly gazing out of the window, to avoid the quizz, Rachel comes to our rescue, and what she doesn’t know, isn’t worth mentioning. Rachel has the true modesty of greatness, for she is bashful even unto silence, though we hear that she salams to her Barlow Medal every night in token of adoration.

I Felt, and in a great measure, composed, one afternoon, between the hour of three (I think me sun was under a cloud), while I was dissecting a chick-embryo in the laboratory, and my mystic power revealed to me what this chick's future might have been. I mean it to serve as a sort of key to my work. I composed the third line last, but being struck by its peculiar beauty.- J placed it where it now stands,” a la W. V.)

Oh. readers! are at rest. Where no year-books are published, by request. When you Adelphi’s Annuals may read. We hope that you will cry, “Nought Sev'n was best!” An Unexpected Heeting 11 was observation night in Adelphi, and I. a belated star-gazer, hurried down the dark stairs to the main hall, where I was attracted to the study room by a dim, red light. At the entrance to the room I was handed a card by a man in knickerbockers, whom I recognized as Shakespeare. In bewilderment I looked to see if he were not in his accustomed cramped position; but no, his chair was empty. I looked for the stag, so like Talida in the fairy-tale; for the sleeping maiden opposite and for the female monopoly of the stag's attention on either side of him, but in vain; all were gone, even the trustees from the office. Hoping to gain some information as to the whole strange affair. 1 read the card in my hand: The Association for Mutual Protection invites you to a reunion and general discussion in the study hall at twelve P. M. William Shakespeare, President. Apollo, Vice-President.'' T entered and attended one of the most interesting indignation meetings imaginable. The opening address was made by the President, who confessed that from long sitting he had grown indifferent, both as to how his plays were interpreted and the Bacon controversy; but he had been more or less attracted by the rubbering—he said it—of Apollo, out into the hall, until at last he had sent the hall “boy to ask what he wanted. He had expressed dissatisfaction, so they had decided on a public discussion of Adelphi. I listened attentively and wrote down the pith of the requests and grievances: Shakespeare wanted a pneumatic cushion, fewer draughts and room to stretch. The stag desired a drink, as he hadn’t had one since he “had drunk his fill. He said that that naturally hadn't lasted long, and the drips from umbrellas on rainy days drove him crazy. Apollo wanted more attention; his beauty was being wasted. Oliver Wendell Holmes objected to living in a garret at the top of a book-case all his life. The Bible wanted to be noticed more. The desks were so cut up over their treatment that they were nailed to the floor, and so couldn’t attend the reunion personally, but they sent their complaints. The sociology books thought they should be the wee-president of the Association; but this was ruled out, as they were only quarreling with other people that night. In room eight, a lady wanted her collar changed, as it had been compared by the girls to a layer cake or a pie minus a slice. Henry Clay wanted the blots removed from his character in room 65, while a banner in that place resented the fact that Dr. Fradenburg constantly called attention to her dilapidated appearance, especially as he advocated social equality so strenuously in the Junior year. An- other complaint in that room was from the clock. She had grown nervous over Frady’s bewitching glances and had covered her face with her hands. The hands were discharged, and now all the clocks in the College were on strike. The elevator felt decidedly run down, and needed a vacation. The couches all complained of being sat on, while it gave the windows such a pane to listen to the gossip in the Sophomore corner. A dish in the Senior corner had chafed for a long time under the heavy and varied loads it had to carry. A screen over there objected to the multitude of sins it had to cover. The general bulletin was considered too stuck up. The bugle boy said he had nothing to do since the electric bells had been introduced. He accused them of wire pulling. The climax of the meeting was reached when Mary Lyon rose, her frame shaking with indignation as she told of the sheep’s eyes that Countess Potocka continually cast at the wrestler who in turn stolidly avoided her eyes and gazed at his kneeling affinity in the Senior corner. Quiet could not be restored, so Shakespeare adjourned the meeting by a tap of the bell, and soon the study hall contained only its usual lodgers. Tlie College girl is strictly scientific, In making bread she ought to take a prize; She can tell you all about the yeast, and how it helps the bread, And just what temperature will make it rise. But in spite of all her scientific methods, In keeping house, the cook is vay ahead, For a man may want the College girl to ornament his home, But he’ll get the cook each time to make his bread.

I once was a normal, industrious girl, Till the habit of writing caught me in its whirl. I wrote essays in English and German and Lat., And philosophy, thesis “Sapientibus sat.” I explained for biology. “Why we’re alive,” And did three themes a week for course 75. My misguided friends thought because I was “easy,” I'd grind out my lines for them, till I grew wheezy; So those who were absent demanded long letters, And those in the College kept piling on fetters. They would make me report to the Lituus weekly, And Round Table papers I promised most meekly. The historian’s pen was intrusted to me: “You think up something novel, we’ve only had three.” For poems the Oracle editors sighed. Arid betwixt and between them, I just up and died. And now as I enter the Heavenly border. I've decided to leave, if appointed Recorder. The Oracli-: poet, with wild eye, and frenzied mien, would fain oft cry with Hamlet, Words, words, words!’’ Not, however, with a sense of their wearisome satiety as he; no, with a painful insistent realization of their scarcity when most needed. THE VISITOR’S SOLILOQUY. The hour of Chapel I worried through The figures that I met, The bluffs in class I listened to Were pretty poor : but yet The walks and styles that passed me by, The Freshmen raw and green, Were absolutely nothing to The pompadours I’ve seen. I. P. Br—N: I simply could not say a word—I just sat and listened! The Retort Courteous. “Where are you leading me, pretty Maid?” “To a cosy-corner, Sir,” she said, “Will you promise no flirting, my pretty Maid?” “Your face is your safe-guard, Sir!” she said. The Bells (Some that Poe omitted to mention.) Hear the clangor of the bells— Electric bells! What a world of mental toil their noise foretells! How they rasp and rankle through you With their summons from delight, To the elevator weary, To the regions dread and dreary, To the Prof who rules with might, Keeping time, time, time, In a dreadful Latin rhyme To the tintinnabulation that so mercilessly swells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— From the banging and the whanging of the bells. Hear the clatter of the bells— Electric bells! What a world of happiness that sound foretells! How they beckon, beckon, beckon, To the realms of joy below! With what eloquence persistent Interrupt they lines resistant That defy all anxious trial to make them sense. With a dull metallic beat All out of tune. What a welcome they repeat To a tempting spread that beckons, to be over All too soon. O, from out the vacant halls What cacophony most mercifully calls! How it swells! How it dwells On the hour of “trades and meetings. Dance-cards, crams, and chatter fleeting, In its accents quick repeating, All the pleasure that impels, To the tapping and the rapping Of the bells, bells, bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells bells, bells— To the tinning and the dinning of the bells. I had a little pony, His name was Horace Odes’’; I lent him to a classmate, To cram her Latin modes. She thumbed him, she slashed him, She worked him very late; But the pony broke the record, And changed my classmate’s fate. High diddle diddle, the girl and her fiddle, The bow flew over the strings; We all sat entranced as the music advanced: To Carrie more honor it brings.

Dear Dr. Tucker: For three years I have been especially subject to cuts. I took some of your famous “51” and temporarily I seemed to be cured, but I was subject to frequent relapses. I presume that mine must have been an especially bad case; but now I begin to feel that the cure is working slowly, but surely. Yours truly, MARGlTERITE WlLI.IAMSOX. Dear Dr. Tucker: For some reason or other, unknown to myself, I have always been more or less subject to slams. This is very irritating; but I find your “51 very soothing, unless I take too large a dose, which is apt to irritate me again. Yours, etc., Elaine Stevens.

Herr Professor: Hurry up there, get your places quickly, there is no time to waste! Here we have twenty-five minutes in which to do a month’s work. What is the matter with that last row, can't you fill up there? Remember that you will be seen as well as those in front. Now, let’s begin. Where are the rest of the girls? (Ominous silence.) Well, they can’t come to the concert, that’s all. First, I must teach you how to stand and sit correctly. Watch me. You must watch me if you wish to do anything just right. Now, stand please—not like horses. Sit down. Watch me. Up! Down ! Good ! Mr. Lowe, will you kindly play those first three bars on page three. No, not there, just above—Oh, I guess I'll have to play the accompani- ment myself, as usual. (Frequent bing, bang, chords, and Mr. Lowe is allowed to resume his seat.) Now, ladies, there are touches that we must get, and you can only do so by watching the leader—by watching me. When my hand goes up—stop talking please, this isn't an afternoon tea! Listen to me, sing this, I never sing the same way twice—I can’t. I want tempo— your temper—I frequently lose mine. Let us try again. Now, up, as I raise this baton. (Ominously) Down, please. I would say, ladies, that I have known whole choruses to go to pieces at one rap from this baton. (Perceptible shivers and shakes—probably fear.) Try again. Don’t sing out like that, Seconds! Control yourselves. You are like trombones, you know, a little of you goes a long way (ha! ha!). Now, watch my hand. If one finger goes up, that means slow; two fingers, louder, crescendo, and whole hand means,--------! (Club tries again and sings lustily.) Herr Professor (excitedly), “Drop the piano, there, Mr. Lowe. Don't hurt yourself (ha! ha!). What is the matter with that last row of sopranos? You remind me of a lot of farmers I once heard about, who, when asked what they did all day, replied that they jest set and thought, and sometimes they jest set.” That is what you’re doing. What, is that the bell ? Well, we will have to have more rehearsals, that is all.” Exit. Chapel An Appreciation Chapel is a fine place in which to practice self-control. You are rather late, some one has taken your gown, you need an hour's study to avoid a flunk, and it is raining, so you feel pretty grouchy as you go up. But you must not show this, you must look solemn and exalted. This forced expression makes you laugh at yourself and you feel better. The introduction is unmercifully long, but you wait patiently for the inevitable rainy-dav hymn. By the time it comes, you have dis- covered several cheering spots in the world; girl next to you is drawing pictures; girl in front is frantically dividing her attention between “Bug Notes' and the eve of the Dean; girl in back is loudly singing the wrong stanza. Now, you are in a mood to see the ridiculous in anything. You watch the Faculty sing and derive a mild enjoyment. A sad-looking minister is introduced, and you try to hope that he may prove a delusion and be primed with jokes. But no, he recognizes his “unusual oppor- tunity,” and comes prepared to read a long manuscript sermon. As he announces the time-worn text the girl on the right snickers, and then sits for five minutes with her hands over her face in a prayerful attitude, but shaking suspiciously. You have settled back for a dull lecture, when suddenly you become interested. Surely you have heard a voice like that before! You fall into a half-dream, and the current of your thoughts rises and falls with the beautifully intoned words. Where was it? When? Yes, now you remember. It was Jacques in “As You Like It” last year—rather overdone, though, this fellow. Again you recall your position. Why are you always so irreverent? You are sure the other girls are listening and profiting. You resolve to pay attention. Immediately you hear a most dramatic appeal, accompanied by striking gestures. He grows more impassioned, and you wonder what's the matter with the man—he looks so apoplectic. You glance around to see if any one else is noticing and looking worried. The girl on the left gives way. You would not have expected it of her, but she laughs until she is almost weeping, and you feel somewhat relieved. You return to the reverend gentleman and really listen. Soon you begin to grow choky yourself, but you don’t want to be disgraced before the school. Will he never stop? You cannot stand it much longer. He does stop finally, in a last, glorious burst of eloquence, and you inarch down from Chapel without visibly losing your dignity. The hour has been of lasting benefit to you—you have gained marvelous control over your features and a cheerier outlook on life. Suppose your Latin prose isn’t finished? You wouldn’t have missed the treat for worlds. PERVERTED PROVERBS OF 1909. “Too much learning is a dangerous thing.” “Freshmen rush in where Juniors fear to tread.” “Worth makes the Freshmen; want of it, the Soph.” “Of two evils choose—neither.” “Better late than absent.” “A rolling stone gathers remorse.” “Those who dance must pay—Muller.” “Don’t count class dues before they’re paid.” “To flunk is human, but an A is fine.” “The right answer turneth away exams. “Think not, fear not.” “One joke of Frady's makes the whole class grin.” OUR SALAD DAYS.

So sweet and voluble is his discourse.” Lyons: “And still arose that oft-repeated cry, ‘Professor, I really don't see why.’ ” Waldo : Two massy keys she bears.” Weeks : “The daintiest last, to make the end more sweet.” “Wolf’ Once there was a man put to guard some lambs and not let . Stupidity get them. For this purpose he kept them in constant dread of a monster called Test. A long time went by. and no Test had come— the man was disappointed. Things arc too slow,” said he. ‘T will make them hum.” So one day he called out as loud as he could : Test! Test!” The lambs heard him and grew pale. Their fright was a great joke to him. So when they had prepared for the attack, he said. “There will be none; I was only fooling.” Many times after that the man called, “Test! Test!” but only a few turned pale, the rest had seen the twinkle in his blue eyes. “Oh!” he said, “I called for fun,” laughing at the few. At last he called, “Test! Test!” with no twinkle, no smile, but in vain; neither all, nor two, nor three heeded his call. No one grew pale. He is only in fun,” they said. They had the attack—some died outright, some failed visibly. Who can believe a truthful prof? Babbles! Slang—What It Is You may cram all your Greek with a tutor, Read alone all that poets have sang; You may study your math, by your lonesome. But to College, you must come for slang. Only there can you learn real live English As she’s spoke: You arc glad you have came; You bone-up for exams., and you flunk them, You jump right on into the game. Pill, got a mad, and the limit, Embellish your speech very oft; You’re butting instead of intruding; The frappe is sloppy, not soft. But it’s all to the good, fellow-students, To spend your four years or more, Killing time in these dear halls of learning, And increasing your powers to jaw. BENEVOLENT ASSIMILATION. (A tragedy in six lines.) A pretty cat, A gilded cage, A little bird within. Soon waxeth fat, This pretty cat, A little bird within. THE VOICE OF MR. LAWTON. Here I come prowling, prowling everywhere. Into every class I go; Ask me something I don't know! In and out the rooms I stalk, Longing for a chance to talk! Silently prowling, prowling everywhere.

And likewise all our time, If you love us as we love you. We'll play the game, and win it, too! By quiz and test and conference, By rushes, pledges, frats, By party, spread and chafing-dish, By Freshman-Sophomore spats, By flunk and frappe, wasted hours, Hoc® and basket-ball, By all the life that centers in This well-belov’d old hall. If you love us as we love you, What classes happy as we two? A Fulfilled Prophecy A Medieval University Now, as 1 bethink myself, it would be a splendid plan to establish a university in this dull town in the glorious year ioy6 Anno Domini, said the gentle and learned Osbornius Carus, as he ceased meditating upon the ccsmical arrangement of the universe and the conception of all human actions'as teleological, and if I could draw together those learned men whom I saw last year at the University of Bologna, I would have no doubt as to its success. Meditations— I will try at any rate, and to that end will endite them epistles this day.” Accordingly in due time, these several learned men aforementioned presented themselves, armed with a list of their qualifications. First to present himself was a young man in soldier’s uniform, of hearty, genial countenance. I. said he, have just fought for my country, and can give testimonials of my valor. 1 have also toured around the whole world, seeing many strange sights. 1 have gazed night after night upon the heavens, contemplating the wonders and beauties thereof and am expert in those tricks called scientific experi- ments in these days, which amuse the young by their wonderful results and smells. In my day, I have also dabbled in theology, but finding my fund of jokes and humor too great for that profession, decided to come to you. I think you will see that I am fit even to father the young and tender youths who leave the parental fireside to come to this feast of learning. Carus Osbornius smiled in his fatherly way, and said, My son. I find it in my heart to love thee exceedingly, come and be one of us. Next came one. who said. “1 need no introduction to you. for 1 am already known as the writer of the ’Letters of an Obscure Man,’ I am a true Hellenist, interested in all the humanities. 1 should like to sit in the classical chair. With me. I have brought a fellow student—he will come presently—whom 1 desire to share this honor with me. Be- sides being most learned in the language of the Romans, he possesses a most marvelous conscience—questions of right and wrong he can decide with mathematical accuracy.” The jolliest monk came next. 1 have the keenest interest in the human race, especially the female portion of it. I have a store of jokes which I collected in my youth and which I now use to regale the young ladies. When I was young.” solemnly, “I did teach Latin, but, most worthy father, I did get over it, and now I wish to occupy the whole settee of the historical faculty.” “Truly, our University must prosper with these brethren only, but, lo! I see one approaching who bears the marks of the great West about him. Welcome, my son! What hast thou to say for thyself?” spoke Osbornius. “I represent the learned faculty of law—that is, the law of the mind, and I possess great diligence and enthusiasm for my work. The calls of the lunch room, I calmly pass over, for 1 always have one more point to make before we close.” “We will surely accept thee, for in this degenerate age, our youth need such examples of industry.” Just then, another came up. “Present thyself.” saith the father. “I,” he answered humbly, “am a voice and a commanding presence.” “Enough !” saith Osbornius Carus, and. turning to his four faculties, continued: “What think ye of this worthy for our Rector; he would do us great honor, I think.” “We ever think as thou, dear father.” And so our great University, which has achieved such fame in later days, was founded. A PEARL FROM OMAR—DROPPED P� Y THE WAY. Myself, when young, did eagerly frequent Meetings of the Round Table, and heard great argument About it, and about—but evermore Came out with less of wit than in I went. With them the seed of wisdom did I sow. And with mine own voice wrought to make it grow. And this was all the knowledge that I reaped. Keep something to yourself, and don’t tell all you know!

Junior English The Blake Club Dr. G.: We will reserve the reference reports until to-morrow, as I wish to spend some time on consideration of William Blake. The selections given by your editor are inadequate to give you an apprecia- tion such as his genius deserves. The poem which 1 am about to read is one of his most characteristic. SUBMISSION. Why is it thus, whence should it be so, If all the world so different is from that Which makes us. and does form our power Of thought and mind? Is it the right, the truth, the great That forward moves and never looks behind ? Does love ? it cannot be; For is it not quite otherwise decreed? Alas! we cannot hope, but we must fear. We must live on in this perpetual change. When all things seem as others ought to be; Still we must live, endure and love. Forevermore! “What is your interpretation. Miss Ulrich? Miss U.: 1 think the poem shows the power of love, don’t you? Of course, he really doesn’t say so. but that first line— Why is it thus, and whence should it be so?” Why, the answer is love— think so. anyway. Dr. G.: Why. Miss Sayler? Miss S.: There isn’t anything else, as far as I can see. It’s the only reasonable theory, at least, if you’ve thought about it at all. Noth- ing could be as it is. if it wasn't for that, and as far as am concerned, it is anyway. So it’s all right, whichever way you look at it. Dr. G.: I don't quite see your point, but perhaps Miss N—t—s—n can suggest something. Miss N.: I don’t agree with the others, but think that the poem exemplifies the transcendental joy of work. The last exultant cry— Forevermore!”—typifies its power to last through eternity. Miss D—l—o: I agree with Miss N—t—s—n, and I think this lyric is very like one of Browning’s— Another Way of Love,” Amor et Labor Omnia Crucit.” The last three lines of this exemplify the mystical reality of the philosophical supernatural. “Or if, with experience of man and of spider, June, use my June, lighting, the strong insect ridder, And stop the fresh-film work, why June will consider.’’ Miss W—t—k : I don’t agree with the work business at all. Miss U—r—h was right. Work hasn’t anything to do with love—at least, in college. Miss S—y—r : Why it must be love, because, you know, you don’t talk about it when you are young, but when you are older, it’s all right, don’t you know? Dr. G.: Well, we’ll postpone this interesting discussion until some future date. Meanwhile I want to refer you to some books on the subject. You may see Bacon, Addison, Carlyle, Macaulay, each in fifteen volumes, on the subject, and----. Bell rings, and exit class, much to disgust of Professor, who, strange to say, thinks them sentimental. A Potpourri Wedding Owen to the recent illness of our beloved Bishop, a long-lookcd-for wedding for the Christmas holidays had to be postponed until a few Weeks ago. The Keyes placed in the Locke threw open the huge doors of Adelphi and the bridal party entered to the Lau.v strains of Wagner. The Bried, dressed in her best bib and Tucker, Fuller of happiness than Haight, stood under a tall Rose- Butsch overhanging a miniature Stone Wall in the Chappie hall, which was daintily decorated with Bunting and Hawthorne. The Bried was given away by a Hand-rich in such gifts, and the party tripped out to the glad tune of Ireland's Band. Meta Schutz the doors behind them. The wedding breakfast was partaken of at tiny tables prettily trimmed in Brown and Rose. It consisted in Fish, Grouse, Geiss, Graham wafers, Cinnatnond and Schaumlocffcl served on exquisite cut glass. A Messenger entered during the feast with the news that an Usher, Roth at the good fortune of the Bried, and calling upon all the Pow'ers that be, had decided to marry a Sayler on a double-D c w in early spring. By special request our CofUn was asked not to officiate, as its presence might cast a gloom over the festivities. CONCERNING DESMIDS. If you like to look at desmids on the water.

Once more Philip Israelson found himself on the deck of the same ocean steamer in which lie had come to America but a short twelve- month before. With eyes bright with the light of enthusiasm, he was devouring a well-worn newspaper clipping containing the Czar's liberty proclamation. It had come at last, the glorious new epoch, in despair of which he had left his beloved native land only' a year ago: the ideal which had possessed his dream-life at the university, was become a reality. He rejoiced that Russia was free, but he rejoiced as a Russian student-Nihilist. not as a Jew. Enjoying privileges denied to the vast majority of his race in Russia and forgetting in his own comparative well-being the peculiar woes of his kinsmen, the patriotic student,had never identified himself with the Judenschmerz. Ardent though his devot.ion to the liberty ideal was. no part of it came from a sense of the significance which the lifting of the general yoke might have for his oppressed fellow-Jews in particular. He felt himself pre-eminently a Russian;. Russian in birth, language, society, music, literature, he gave his entire allegiance to everything Russian—except Russian autocracy. So great had been his blind loyal optimism in matters Russian, that even the burning sense of governmental tyranny had come to him with the shock of sudden revelation. The change from the introspective habits of a lifetime to active Nihilist discontent was. however, so violent that Israelson felt impelled to leave the newly-felt shadow of Russian tyranny for the sunshine of American liberty. Unlike most of his fellow-Jews in his indifference toward the Jewish question, Israelson was unlike them also in his failure to adapt himself to America. When the news of glorious promise came from Russia, therefore. Israelson’s friends in the little East Side tea-room which he frequented, were not surprised to hear him enthusiastically declare his determination to return at once to the blessed land, and in spite of both reasoning and ridicule, he took passage the very next day. As impatient as a bridegroom going to meet his bride, Philip at length alighted exultantly at the railroad station in his home city. As he caught sight of familiar faces on the short walk home, he dashed a smiling greeting to right and left; but he was too absorbed in his ow n joy to note the lack of response, nay. even the menace in their looks. Not till he reached his own home, moreover, did the chill of his welcome home begin to penetrate his comprehension. The first one lie met when he had crossed the threshold was one of the servants, an old trusty who had been wont to carry the child Philip “pig-a-back long ago. The young man extended his hand in warm greeting. “Home again, friend Michael! he cried. Rut old Michael kept his hands in his pockets, and growling, hobbled out into the night. Phillip stared after him in wonder and dismay. What could it mean ? A vague suspicion came into his mind, which haunted him even through the affectionate greetings of the family. Were it possible—he scarcely dared frame the thought—that the anti- Semitic agitation which had provoked massacres the year before in Kisheneff and Gomel, and here and there more recently, were to become a personal matter to him. and not merely as hitherto, a calm intellectual interest in unfortunate folks in far-away towns? Could the smiling faces of this great liberal city possibly conceal the plans of assassins? What had poor old Michael to do with this? Foolish thought! Yet he found that to the family the thought of imminent danger was keen. He could not help casually speaking of old Michael's be- havior. “Oh. lie is safe enough. His affection for us is too deep-rooted,” said Philip's sister. “He spends nearly all his time in the church listening to that fiery little priest inflaming the common people of the city to avenge Russia's wrongs upon the accursed Jews. F ut Michael is too old for mischief, the mother said. Just then a horrible murmur smothered by the distance drove the blood from all their faces. No use for self-deception now. They saw the truth in each other's eyes, and immediately they began to seize closets, tables, all the available heavy furniture to barricade the door and windows. The chilling howl grew nearer. Single sounds began to be heard in the confusion, the shrieks of agonized children being torn limb from limb, the wails of the mothers, the groans of the fathers, the harrowing screams of the daughters, mingled with the wild shouts, the curses, and the coarse laughter of the “pogromchiks. Philip’s blood began to boil, and he would have rushed recklessly to the rescue, but his folks dragged him back, bidding him be prudent and protect them, for doubtless the ruffians would not neglect them. Even as they were talking thus, the pogromchiks attacked their dwelling, bombarding the doors and windows with their previous booty. Flames from the opposite dwelling were seen. Crash! A stone went through a window facing the street. The ruffians began to fire into the room. Philip, too, fortunately, had a pistol and kept covering the ruffians as one by one they climbed up by a ladder to the window, and one by one they fell. The family was beginning to breathe a little more freely, as a lull came into the blood-curdling noise without, when with a horrible yell of triumph the ringleaders rushed into the room, followed tardily by shaking old Michael, whose features were transformed with unwonted passion. The old man, incited by the ignorant priest’s bloody appeal, had betrayed them: the pogromchiks had entered by a secret passage revealed to them by the faithful servant. Philip recognized in one of the leaders one to whom he had been kind, the son of the old traitor servant. “Thou, Michaelevitch!” he exclaimed. For answer. Michaelevitch stabbed him to the heart. Perhaps he meant it in kindness: it was indeed a merciful death, for Philip was happily spared the sight of his father being tortured and the hideous fates of his mother and sister. The irony of fate! For Philip Israelson had died for a cause which had been consciously his but a few short hours. Massacrers. A sky of blue just fleeced with white. With south-bound wild birds passing o’er it, A wave-washed beach of gray: A coolness with the approach of night, A gold sun sinks in rainbow light— An Indian summer day. The Song of the Adelphi Girl. I. I’d rather be a girl, I think, Than anything else I know. To be sure, I never was a boy, So I cannot know its peculiar joy; For I didn't have any choice, (But if I’d been asked to give my voice), I'd have been just a girl as I am, Wouldn’t you? II. I’d rather be an American girl, Than anything else I know. To be sure, I wasn’t asked if I’d be An Esquimoor a heathen Chinee; But I really don’t hold anyone to blame, For if I had been, I’d have asked just the same To be an American girl, Wouldn’t you? III. I’d rather be a college girl. Than anything else I know. To be sure, there is plenty of grinding to do; But we’ve spreads and parties and dances, too. And though joys are of varying nature and kind, In a college girl’s life you’ll all of them find. So I’m glad I’m a college girl, Aren’t you? IV. And I'd rather be an Adelphi girl, Than anything else I know. Though other colleges may be fine, Adelphi’s the one I chose for mine; And her I took of my own free will. And in years to come. I’ll love her still. So I'm glad I belong to Adelphi, Aren’t you? THE AUTUMN LEAVES. We dance and play in the Autumn wind And we play in the Autumn air; We are happy and free And full of glee As we play in the sunlight fair. We are warm and red as the Yule-log’s flame, And gold as the sun’s bright gleam; And we dart and dance And our bright robes glance, Or we drift as we idly dream. We dream of the Spring with its tender green, And the Summer in beauty dressed; And we’ll soon float down In our garb of brown To sleep on the warm earth’s breast. So we sway and swing in the Autumn wind, And we frolic in frantic glee; And we eddy and swirl In a dizzy whirl In our last mad ecstacy. HOLIDAY TIME. Oh! the sky is as blue as my spirits are gay. And I’ve nothing to do through the long summer day: With a laugh in my heart, I may hie me away Through the meadows and into the woodland. And what shall I find, singing low as I go? Bright insects and flowers o'er the brook's saucy flow, Tangled sunshine and shadow where moss and ferns grow, And Jacks-in-wee-pulpits a-nodding. I'll steal me a ride in the farmer's old cart. Chase bees in the buckwheat, wild echoes I'll start. Homeward lag—past the weed-grown school—peace in my heart, Weaving dreams in the gleams o' the sunset. I. Mountain road and twenty mules, danger either side— Lazy hammock, semi-tropic sun and ocean breeze— Gold of fruit and mineral, charm of mission lore; Ships for strange or savage land riding on the tide— People of the western slopes, ye have cause for pride. II. Wide and wealthy fields of grain, mighty rivers flow, Space to breathe, with horizon far and far away; Land of red man's wars and hunts, white man's war and trade— People of the prairies, lesser lands would cramp you so! III. Pulse of throbbing human life, all the world around, Just an atom am I in thy mighty madd'ning stream, Knowing toil and bitterness, tasting mirth and love. Seeing thousands giving life that one life may be crowned. Tell me what thy secret is. what thy hidden spell. That, upon thy wheel, with heart and brain cords we are bound.

Doubtless more than one person has remarked that no record of the glorious deeds of the Normal Class of '06 has as vet graced the pages of history. This is due, not to any lack of noteworthy actions, but to the fact that our attention and time have been taken up with more weighty matters. Having now solved most of these vexing problems, we wish to let others hear of our great achievements and learn some- thing of the lives of celebrities. Two years ago, when we entered, we began to understand how hard it is to be child-like without being childish. When, with out- stretched arms and daintily tripping feet, we went careering around the gymnasium to the tune of “I’m a Robin,” it can hardly be said that we sang it with a profound feeling of conviction. Most of us must confess to having felt more like geese. However, those days arc passed, and now a few notes on the piano serve to change us instantly into fish, pigeons, ponies, or even mice. But there have been many more difficult tasks than this. The fine distinctions existing between the Schizomycetes, Schizophycea� , Phseo- phyceae, etc., ad infinitum, caused us some slight annoyance, but we have now completely mastered them. We realize that without a score or two of these words at the end of our tongues, we should never be able to convey “the right idea’’ to the little minds with which we are to deal. Our time has not been entirely taken up with these arduous duties. On the Friday preceding Hallowe’en, when we were mere Juniors, our “big sisters’’ invited us to a party. They had planned a most brilliant programme, which was to afford them unbounded amusement. We, however, saw their little game and turned the tables so completely that the poor Seniors were obliged to bring on the refreshments in great haste. This was followed in the winter by a dance, and a Salmagundi party, and in the spring by a farewell luncheon and dance to the Seniors. We rejoice to say that we brought the present Junior class more successfully through the ordeals of the Hallowe'en party. All their energies were directed to the performance of many extraordinary and grotesque actions, which they at first deemed impossible. In this way we gave them “a concrete example” of the value of the right stimulus being applied with sufficient force at the right time. They survived these Herculean feats long enough to invite us to a cotillion at which they showed tip in their true colors. We really feel quite proud of the dear little ones. Well, what do you think of Martha's engagement ?” That's all we talk about now-a-days. We arc delighted to think that she is to be so happy; but we bemoan the ill-fortune of the schools of this country in losing so promising a Kindergartner. You wish to hear more about us? Aye, that you surely will, for though we have practiced in Brooklyn kindergartens for only a few' months, our fame is almost w'orld-wide. Though our revered prophet has not yet foretold the future of this remarkably talented class, we know' that our careers will be noted for their surpassing brilliancy. After commencement, we intend to completely reorganize the kindergarten system and establish it firmly on a more scientific basis. We are con- vinced that, through our influence, the coming generation will attain that all-sided, harmonious development of body and spirit which Froebel so warmlv advocates.

Here's to “Fan,'’ our president dear, Blue-eyed and fair is she, And hungry, too, my word to you! With her roll (book) you will see. To Florence B., who is renowned For arriving just in time, And jumping into cap and gown At the last, faint stroke of nine. To Anna who laughts at everything. Everything, did I sav? For who has heard her laughter ring When questioned on history day. Here's to little bright-eyed Eva, The girl of sandwich fame. New kind each day, would you believ E’en prune we've heard her name. And last, not least, to little Fan. A blue-eyed beauty she, A devotee of “Cupid Dan,” And a “Doe is her specialty. But still another we must not forget! The Zu-Zu wafer, and our little pet, Is the best-natured of our set.

As It Will Be on the Styx It was a bright, sunny day on the banks of the Styx. The little bird-shades were singing blithely, and fish-shades jumped sportively in the clear stream. Along the shore wandered two shades of Adelphi girls of the famous Class of 1907, eagerly talking over old times. “Well. Jane,” giggled Grace, you certainly are the last person I expected to see down here. Tell me about yourself, and all the others you left on the terrestrial globe. A good many of us are down here, but Genevieve is giving a trolley party to-day. You know she went crazy on the subject—after she made such a hit as a diplomat. Speak- ing of diplomacy, you know Gertie was the Tammany boss in the last campaign. She was a good one. all right, and had a lot of practice in college. But, Jane, how was Ruth when you left?” Oh, Ruth! haven't you heard about her? It's perfectly splendid. She is managing an aslyum for ’Insane Treasurers and Professional Beggars.’ She always was an altruist. You know Ida and Helen have gone to South Africa as missionaries to the heathen. Ada is in China. I thought some of going myself, but I finally-decided to be a trained nurse.” “Oh, Jennie! you a trained nurse? You ought to be a mother superior. You know Edna is down here, taking care of all the lost souls. Most of us down here are married. Bessie and Lauretta, and little Ethel and Mabel and Grace Mills. Of course. I’m a confirmed old maid, tea-kettle, black-cat and all. Helen Roth is contributing-artist to Journal of the Weird Shades, of which Florentina is editor. Grace Delano contributes poems, a la Browning and the pre-Raphaelite school. Look over there, and see Rachel grinding away for dear life. That's her punishment for doing so much of it in college. Before she came here she ran a mill, but it failed, so she up and came down here to set up shop.” Jane interrupted—“Who is that up in that tree?” “Why, don’t you know? It is Laura Walsh, expounding on the subject of evolution. She gave a course of lectures before the Truth and Beauty Society on the 'Impoliteness of Trying to Ape Your Ancestors.’ ” Oh, Grace, here conics the trolley party back ! Isn't it fine to see all the girls. Hello! Lottie and Lillian together, as usual. How are you ?” Jiminv! girls, haven't you read our books—on ‘Opportunities in Co-operation ? said Lillian. “Oh, hello, Jane!” said Gertrude; here's a copy of my ‘Principles of Bossology.' Read it; it will do you good. Why, you know, when------ Oh. dry up, Gert, laughed Grace; give somebody else a chance. Here's Blanche Lopez, fairly aching to tell you how to be cunning and teach. Speaking of teaching, Matilda is Prof, of German in the Uni- versity of Hotelbcrg, right over around the corner. Adelaide Virginia McCann is giving dramatic lectures on ‘Pronunciation as it is Said.’ Go on, Jane, are any of us married upstairs on earth, or teaching anything? Yes, indeed, didn't you hear about Daisy Williamson and her romantic wedding? She was late, of course, and the bridegroom, think- ing she was going to cut, almost refused to give her another trial. I left Marian running a miniature Erasmus. Hall on the site of the old one. Elaine was teaching then—ves, it has always been co-educational. By the way, did you know that our boys were tied for the loving cup given to the champion fusser of America? They had a great discussion as to who was to keep it, but decided to live together in a bachelor's apartment and so keep peace in the family. Here comes our librarian, Blanche. Hello there! where's your better-half ? ’ Oh! I can't find Madolin anywhere, said Blanche in a most distressed tone. What can I do without her? Cheer up, Blanche: here’s Julie, wandering lonely as a cloud. How's our champion prize-fighter and gymnast? Killed anybody yet? No. but I'd like to. Well, of all things, two Sunday school teachers and the author of ‘First Principles of Baby Talk.’ Well, E. Madeline, L. Oliver and Ethel, how goes the world? Getting along pretty well when you left it? Is Theresa still looking after the financial world? And Carrie, the musical? I heard that Florence Powers had been appointed by the President, General Critic of the ‘World’s Work. Here she comes now. perhaps she can tell us of the rest.” To be or not to be, that is the question, said Florence, abruptly. “Oh! did somebody speak? Please excuse me. Yes, Selma and May have happy little homes of their own, and are quite famous as house- keepers of the old-fashioned type. Janet Alice Fish and Alice Fuller, the other day, wandering around asking people to listen to their new theories on the subject of ‘Protection.’ They needed it themselves, but had an idea that force was negative rather than positive. Did somebody ask about Mary Jane? She is teaching the young ideas how to shoot triangles and squares properly. Come on girls, let’s go back and sec the old Adelphi. There's a Junior Prom, to-night, and it might lorn I to the attractions to see a lot of fossil shades.” “All right!” cried all. Here’s the elevator, let’s go right up now.” And as the crowded car departed, the shades of Erebus were brightened by the radiant glory of Adelphi 1907. L’ Envoi. And now that our task is over, We could shout for sheer joy, we confess; Our pencils are worn to the veriest sttibbs; And our wit is decidedly less. If pleasure's the wage of such striving, We are amply and generously paid; For we’ve worked for the joy of the working; To please and amuse we’ve essayed. To us was entrusted the honor To pilot our book to success; We pray that we’ve proved ourselves worthy; We ask all of that—nothing less.
