The Editor-in-Chief realizes fully that the preface of a book is the only effusion that is never read; yet custom decrees that a few words be said. We present this 1908 Oracle to you with the earnest hope that it will fulfill the purpose for which we have striven—to in- crease our affection and loyalty for Adelphi. Realizing that our College is increasing and growing stronger year by year, we have sought to have our book keep pace with the College advance- ment. Toward this goal, we have taken the liberty of changing the exterior aspect of the book, in cover, design and size. We have to some extent modified the former policy of “ knocks ” and grinds —especially concerning the faculty, as a mark of re- spect and in view of the fact that they publish no Oracle in which they may retaliate. We trust that these changes may be met with approval. For the bock’s deficiencies,—and we realize too well that it has its share,—we offer our apologies; for its worth, we crave your appreciation. May this volume be esteemed a product worthy of the Class of Nineteen Eight and our Alma Mater. ADELPHI COLLEGE. Robert D. Benedict Charles H. Levermore, Ph. D. Annie G. Truslow (Mrs. F. C.

RECESSIONAL 22 Senior 1bt8tor Being a letter from an Adelphi Alumna to her chum written in the year 2007. My Dkar: RAINY day—a girl with nothing' in the world to do, and a garret full of fascinating old furniture—what could you expect? Of course I started in to rummage, girls are the same nowadays as the old books say they were in the days of my great -grandmother, way back in the earl} nineteen hundreds. And do you know, I found several curious old manuscripts in that same great-grandmother's rickety old desk. One of them was apparently a history of her college class. You know, she went to Adelphi University in the early days when it was only a little college on Clifton Place. She was a member of the class of 1907. But I’ll send you the paper for I know you'll be interested. December, 1906.” One month more and 1907—our year, will be starting on its record! Of course it will be a glorious one, for is it not our year? A great class is this of 1907. It has done many fine things. Long ago when wc were Freshmen we proved our courage and originality by outwitting the Sophs and electing our officers right under their very noses. And we made a plucky fight for the game that year, and even if we did lose, that was only because. 1906 had such a fine team. Sophomore year was one long blaze of glory ; the Sophomore Tea and dance, the game (which wc won this time), and the trolley party were all feathers in the cap of 1907. In Junior year wc fully lived up to her previous great record. The Oracle was a marvel of wit and cleverness. The 'Junior Prom.’ seemed to us the very finest dance ever given, and everybody who went enjoyed every minute. And now in Senior year we bid fair to outdo all previous triumphs. Our girls are showing their ability in practical cooking every Thursday noon at our chafing dish lunches—(and wc have several suspicions that other people have appreciated them also, but wc will mention no names). Of course we've figured largely in everything the College has given. A goodly percentage of the ‘As you lake It’ caste was drawn from the ranks of 1907. And when wc arc no longer undergraduates we intend to be one of the strongest pillars of the Alumnae Association.” T am going to hunt through the old chests some day and see if I can unearth any more treasures. When you come down to visit me, we'll look for some more of these early records of Adelphi, our Alma Mater, too—though many years later, isn’t it? But I must not spend any more time with the past. The present in the shape of Mother is calling—So good-bye, dear. 25 Nineteen nn re unit enen. ©ftirrrs Preside Jit Mabel K.

J 1 s o. —Basketball, dramatics, corner drug store and members OF MEN'S STUDENT ASSOCIATION, ALL OF WHICH PLAY AN IMPOR- TANT PART IN MISS 1908'S LIFE. SYNOPSIS OF ACT I. Miss 190S makes her debut into Adelphi College world in Sept., 1904. Miss 1907 immediately endeavors to teach Miss 1908 how to behave. Through the kindness of her chaperone and her own common sense, Miss 1908 manages to elude Miss 1907 and even to hold her first reception, called in that society, a class meeting, before Miss 1907 holds hers. Miss 1907, however, returns good for evil, and invites Miss 1908 to a Hallow-e’en party where she finds Miss 1908 fully capable of caring for herself. Then Basket Ball comes upon the scene and causes much rivalry between Misses 1907 and 8. He almost causes Miss 1908 to come out victor, but it ill befitted one so young to triumph over one with so much experience as Miss 1907 had, so Miss 1907 comes out victor. Dramatics also secured a lively interest from Miss 1908, and alto- gether she carried off the honors of her first year in society very well. SYNOPSIS OF ACT II. Miss 1908 again enters society eager to renew her last year’s triumphs. Miss 1907‘s younger sister makes her debut, and Miss 1908, remembering the kindness of Miss 1907. endeavors to treat Miss 1909 accordingly. This year Basket Ball acclairns her triumphant and Dramatics holds an important position in her world. She, however, eclipses every thing she has yet done by her reception and dance, which is truly a wonderful success. And Miss 1908 closes her second year in society conscious that she is making a name for herelf. SYNOPSIS OF ACT III. Miss 1908 reappears this time with renewed interest. Her younger sister is now to “come out” and Miss 1908 feels important. She feels important too. because she is going to publish a book of happenings in Adelphi since she has appeared there. She is also going to give a re- ception. far more imposing than any she has yet given. She begins to feel sober now too. she is no longer a debutante and her importance in Adelphi social world impresses her. She intends, however, to end her third year as brilliantly as she did her others. 3� Ninrtmt Hfmihtrii cltth Sight.

N the mighty town of Brooklyn, Tn the college of Adelphi, There once dwelt a class of Freshmen, Class of Nineteen Ten they called them. Five brave youths, the rest were maidens, Thirty-seven when together They were seated in the council. But the war-like class of Sophomores Sought to rule them and suppress them, So the Freshmen called a council, Held a meeting all in secret, Chose a leader from among them, Chose a maiden who should rule them, Who should he their guide and lead them In the college of Adelphi. Then to celebrate, the Freshmen Had a feast up in the tower. And they ate in fear and trembling Lest the Sophomores should surprise them Such a great success they thought it That they often did the same thing Far away up in the tower. Soon the Juniors, they the friendly. Sent a message to the Freshmen. Bade them come to a cotillion, And with eagerness they waited. Finally the night long looked for Came, and with it the fulfillment Of their wildest hopes and wishes, All their great anticipations. And they swore eternal friendship For the Juniors, they the friendly. And ’ere long, the Sophomores summoned All the Freshmen to the college, There, according to tradition. 47 To observe the Feast of Witches. With great fear and much foreboding Came the Freshmen in a body, And upon the very threshold Black-robed figures seiged upon them, Carried them to unknown regions Where they suffered awful torture, But without a single murmur: And the Sophomores then relenting. Took them up to feast and dancing. Where the'’ had such fun and pleasure That their hearts were greatly softened Toward the Sophomores—they the war-like. So to show their friendly feeling. All the Sophomores they invited To a dance in late December. Gaily danced the youths and maidens To the strains of sweetest music, And the Freshmen and the Sophomores Grew to know each other better; Grew to truly love each other. And they dwelt in peace henceforward Tti the mighty town of Brooklyn In the college of Adelphi. 8 Sftnrtmt TijituiUTit anil afctt (©ffirrrs President Anna Bullwinkle Vice-President Elsie Jenkins Secretary Hazel Pittkiei.d Treasurer Eleanor Weir Smith Historian Caroline Sutphin Flower— White Carnation Colors—Green and White Yell Rah! rah ! rah!

T was the great pleasure of the Normal Class of ‘07 to put on record last year some of its remarkable achievements. Lest, perchance, they be forgotten, a brief resume will bring to these things of the past, and then we can turn to things of the When we entered as Juniors, we little thought that in an incredibly short time we would be able to change from serious-minded young women into birds, ponies, caterpillars, flowers or butterflies, and all at the com- mand oit a tuneless piano. Not only did we learn to transform ourselves, but also to turn mere pieces of paper or cardboard and thread into bird, beast or beauty form. And, too, we learned to distinguish the Coelenter- ata, the Echinodermata and the Platyhelminthes; to realize that “Habit was an acceptable answer for many Psychology questions; to write “Mother Plays, fifteen and twenty pages long, without a murmur. This year four months practice-teaching has proven our ability, and classes at Adelphi until quarter past five have showed our strength. But “all work and no play make Jack a dull boy,” so we have had time to play. As Juniors, we were given a Hallowe en party by the Seniors and we were made to “ride the goat ' and act like geese gen- erally. But a wonderful feast and many good wishes from our, elder sisters made up for all the stunts. Then we had a class party, a “really truly” dance, which was a success with the exception of the lemonade, which was minus the lemon, and still showed evidences of a “lemon.” Next came the cotillion which we gave for the Seniors and unless ap- pearances are deceiving, they had a good time. On Hallowe’en this year we made the Juniors run the gauntlet. They were not so meek as we had been, and coaxing and even threats were necessary. In the end they capitulated; and. as usual, when the rations were passed round, all was good cheer and merriment. The Juniors had a party for us the day after Xmas, but so many had engage- ments with Santa Claus to say “Thank you,” that ’07 was not well rep- resented. The girls who did go told all the others about it, and they were sorry—we may even say very sorry to have missed it all. We are one less in number than last year. Alma went to Albany and came back engaged. Surprise is mildly expressive of our feelings. We miss her, but are glad she is so happy. The future, we know not—our prophet has not yet opened her lips. However, we feel well assured that the days to come will prove our career as remarkable as have the days past. 55 President ..... Vice-President Secretary...... Treasurer . ..

J. 7 History of tbe 3unior IWoimal Class: ISTEN, dear children, and you shall hear Of the Kindergarten Class, first year, Who entered Adelphi September last, With hopes tremendous, ambitions vast, The wonderful Class of 1908, Precocious—marvelous—strenuous—late. They studied psychology, nerve and brain, They learned the infant mind to train I11 ways that are right, and paths that are true; Learned sensations, and percepts, and judgments, too. They studied biology, science profound, With many a long name, sonorous in sound; Lumbricus dissected, and Pteris (the brake) Through microscope viewed, for sweet science's sake. They studied the history (hark while I tell), Of all education, and Europe as well; They read what the heathen Chinese learned at school, How Socrates taught, and St. Benedict’s rule. Froebel's gifts to the child they studied at length, And from each lesson they gathered new strength On colors and forms their attention they’d bend, And so learned to love “the Children's Friend.” Occupations proved a source of delight. They were glad to work with them all day and all night. With a needle they sewed, and without one, too; Papers they folded, they wrestled with glue; They pricked and made many a Kinderbeast, For children’s eyes, as good as a feast. In music and art they excelled beyond measure, For pure tones and strong outline each proved quite a treasure. In gymnasium they learned to walk straight and tall, Dance and play skipping games and to toss “little ball. S9 While speaking of dancing, 1 almost omitted To tell you how nobly the Juniors acquitted Themselves, when they danced in the big College Hall A Swedish dance, farmer’s dance, peasant dance, all. On All Hallow’s Eve, the Class of Naught Seven Raised the Juniors quite to the seventh heaven, By giving a sumptuous spread, which they heeded Far more than the practical jokes that preceded. At last Yule Tide came, when the tree they helped trim, And their cup of contentment was filled to the brim, All made Christmas tree gifts, and then went to see How you children enjoyed them with laughter and glee. For their own Christmas party, the Juniors planned A Cotillion, with favors—hats made all by hand! They invited the Seniors to come, too, and play— We hope that they all spent a happy day. The New Year arrived, bringing with it exams, And much work for innocent lambs! So on through the course goes Nineteen Eight, With intentions good, though sometimes late, With onward step, and purpose steadfast To reach the Maxwell goal at last. And far in the future we all hope that we May prove to some little people to be The inspiration, spreading around That in Miss Flarvey we have found. 60 Junior IRormal ©fficcvs President......

Lopez Ethel Bishop Ada Stephens § ltb Marion Cutter Marguerite Stephens Delegate to Recreation Committee Genevieve W. Beavers The Adelphi Delegation to the Students’ Conference at Silver Bay was the largest and most effective ever sent by our College. The Conference meant much to us. We found the meetings both helpful and interesting, and entered very deeply and earnestly into all the exercises. But as the religious aspect of the Conference is the most obvious one. some account of the social side of life at Silver Bay may be interesting. Never was our College spirit so stimulated. Each girl was on her mettle. We never sang our songs with so much nerve and swing, nor entered so keenly into athletics. On College Day we brought down the house by the singing of our immortal. “Where O Where” song, which we were requested to repeat on all occa- sions. We thoroughly enjoyed life in our cozy little cottage, where the birthday of one of our numbei was celebrated with fitting ceremonies. When the time for leaving came, each of us registered a mental vow to come back next year. $2 Hic HJobeiirunfce President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer - Officers.

The “gym,” as usual, was gaily decorated for the event, and the violet and gold of “’09 ” was in strong contrast to the pale green and white, which pro- tested for “ ’10.” At the end of the second half the score was a tie, and even after the extra “five-minute” half had been played, the score was still 4-4. The Sophomore team must be complimented on its strong pass work; the Freshmen for the guarding and cover- ing ground. After the game the Annual Banquet was held in the Study Room, for all Adelphians, old and new, under the toastmistres- ship of Lillian Whitlock, the President of the Athletic Association. Prof. Peckham toasted Dr. Greenlaw “ Florence Boole “ Florence Murphy “ Mollie Flagler “ “ The Teams. “ The College. “ The Sophomores “ The Freshmen. “ Fossils. The Athletic Association Dance followed the Banquet, crown- ing the success of the day. XIO ©ramattc Hssoriatton, ©fficers.

To your right, ladies and gentlemen, is the first bud in the class field, Milton Montague Adler. Possesses Fifty-seven Varieties” of moods, a couple of which are variable approaching the limit. Beg pardon? Yes—there was quite a well-known poet named after him, I believe—yes, and a noted statesman, too. Unusual? Oh, no! for is he not an M. A. (in alphabetical terms), and does he not stand at the head of his class (in the same way) ? Still, although Milton is not poetic and we would hardly say diplomatic, he is an AI business man, and we gladly refer future Oracle business managers to Milton Montague. MAUD EDNA AKERLY. In my early days burned the midnight oil —but non the curfeiv’s ring I heed. This product habitates on one of the hills of Brooklyn, High- land Boulevard, and a fit place for her to dwell. Nearer the clouds I be, quotes Maudie. A dreamer, you see, and when that far-away look comes in her eyes, we know not whether the brain behind those eyes is thinking of the Lit notes to be written, or mere man, or if she'll ask us to go Dutch.” In fact, we can only wildly guess. Is sincerity personified and at times given to kittenish frivolity. Has an abnormal liking for Math., also for the Man who knows. When Maud is nice, she is very, very nice, and when she is not, she is----. i?o MILDRED BRANTINGHAM BUNTING. “ When a woman won’t, she Won’t and there is an end on’t. Mildred is a promising candidate for the degree of B. S., but don't be deceived by that! We were. Freshman year, but the B(ig) S(ecrct) is out now! All through her High School career Mildred held the championship in Blushing, but, meeting Edith, she gracefully retired from the field. Although treasurer of sev- eral organizations, she still retains a good bit of popularity. Belongs to the Glee Club and goes through the lip contortions very well. MARION AGNES BUTSCH. Linked sweetness, long drawn out. “I’m so glad I'm young, and so we hold youth excused, for as to Parliamentary pros and cons, Marion cares not a whit. She daily settles and unsettles the vital questions of life with an elo- quence not visible to the naked ear; in her earlier youth, she had some affection of the heart, but her duties at College entirely (?) cured the aforesaid, and now, like Ida, we have the welcome variety. Some have called her Stronghcart, —which can be ap- plied cither to her forceful personality, or her determination for As. But—enough about our President! ANNA BENEDICTA CAROLAN. Not because 'tis so, but because I sap so. Characterized by her love of good art, upon which she ex- pends much spiritual insight. Nevertheless she has a sufficient supply left to read the characters of her FELLOW beings. Likes to draw fancy headpieces enclosing the initial “J. Se- riously inclined at times, when she concentrates and expounds Browning. However, recovery is quick and sure, and she soon reaches the beginning of the circle, art or—men. Made a good resolution at the beginning of the year, and we’re afraid we will have to issue a supplement, as it has not yet been broken. In- herits quantities of critical ability, which she uses indiscriminately, but backs up with a very positive “ego. FLORENCE BEATRICE CHINNOCK. “Bland innocence doth marfy my n ay, It n axclh stronger da)) by day. This is Florence Beatrice, fond of all things, adores dancing, life, pretty collars, and short trips to one of the New England States. Show Florence your note-book or a sample of your Prom, gown, and she raves regularly and on time. Has a special aversion to Woman’s Rights and the Suffrage Question. Truly feminine is our Editor-in-Chicf. Still, Florence’s sense of time is hopelessly vague; has an idea that the first period begins at 9:45, and Physics Lab. work to her means being marked for attendance and casting a retreating glance at some photographs in their course of development. FRANCES DENIO COMPTON. “A little thing, but large enough to love. Frances is a product of Nebraska, but she can’t help that— neither can Nebraska. Is a firm believer in prohibition, but keeps the balance by an intemperate consumption of fraps, having been known to break Anna C.’s record of sixteen in four minutes. Frances originally hitched her wagon to a Mathematical star, but. finding she was on a star, transferred upon arriving at the Junior Corner to the Teachers’ French Class, where we hear she spe- cializes in Louis XV, XVI and Louis C. Frances is most at home (?) when canvassing for Oracle ads. GERTRUDE DAHLMAN. 7 I(nov a maiden fair to see; Tal(c care! She is fooling thee! The Sleeping Beauty! Not that we mind, for we have even envied her at times, and she's pretty enough to do it well; still, when Cert is awake, she is thoroughly so, attacking everything with enthusiasm. Recites, and one can recognize the pieces per- fectly—if one has a good ear for rhythm. At some future day. we expect she will star, at One Thousand per—(haps!). SIDONIE ADELE DENHAM. Motionless torrents, silent cataracts. Sidonie: Marion:: Edna: Lucille. Sid is seemingly quiet and docile, but underneath it she, like the Prudential, has the strength of Gibraltar. In spite of her serious nature, we notice in her a strong tendency toward Banter. Sidonie specializes in Sociology, and has a strong desire to find out by personal expe- rience How the Other Half Lives. Poor other half!! How they must suffer! SUSIE FRANCES DUNNE. What, have I 'scaped love-letters in the holiday time of my beauty, and am noiv a subject lor them?” Susie’s chief occupations arc running to college, running up bills, running down debts and running off dances, all of which she does with velocity and ease. She loves music; has a special fondness for Hearts and Flowers, “ Dearie, Love’s Dream After the Ball,” When Love Is Young in Springtime, and many other sparkling gems. Is in constant and fearful dread of a postal-less existence. Susie would do anything in the world for you—but nobody. SIGRID CHARLOTTE FREEBERG. In al hir tverbes verlu is hir gydc. You’d never think that Sigrid could swear, actually swear, would you? Well, you're right—she can’t. Her strongest ex- pression is, Oh, dear! Sigrid’s right arm has become so used to a pile of books that, they being absent, she has resting cramp. Her motto is, Measures, not men, have always been my mark.” However, with her measures she certainly has made her mark (please pardon us for that!). Caressing and sympathetic in eyes and voice, and a Barlow Medal besides! ANNA MARIE CLARE etc., etc., GEISS. - 1 cannot tell thee rvhal the dickens her name isn't.” Hides many a talent under a modest exterior. Is responsible for some of the artistic productions in th s book—and can thrill you with weird and uncanny stories. Anna has a passion for roller skating, burnt wood, and photography, in spite of which she always gets her reference work done weeks in advance. Ex- pects to teach young America die Deutsche Sprache als sic im Deutschland gesprochen ist, but luckily is making strenuous efforts to master it first. Is a regular information bureau on the sub- ject of Cornell, but objects to being confused with Matilda. IDA ANNA GLASS. Variety is the spice ol life.” Known and loved for the remarkable variety of the species homo she invites to the college dances. Most amiable in her dis- tribution of them and absolutely callous to their charms. Ida has more serious work to do. And she does it well, but with a rapidity that is startling. Always has an unfailing fund of short stories on tap and is unrivaled in her knowledge of Biblical his- tory—which makes her an ideal member of the B. R. S. IRENE EDYTHE GROUSE. The strength of arm and hran n do I adore. Yes, there is peace” in the class, although in a small quantity. The subject of this treatise only sees life from the ‘gym” win- dows, or when hurrying to and fro from college to home at luncheon time. Dotes on basket ball and last year made the only field goal in the Soph.-Fresh, game. Tell 'Rene a joke and her face will be broken with smiles for the rest of the day. Pale of complexion, but this c yi be attributed to her assiduousness in the study of Art in her Sophomore year. In fact, she has never quite recovered from the close application to study during her first two years in college. «34 SUSIE MAE IRELAND. “That of hir smy linge n as full symplc and coy. Not from County Killarncy, as one might suppose from the name, for she comes from Amity ville; nor even green, as might be thought, for she has travelled to and fro on the Long Island Railroad for three years, and is well acquainted with Brooklyn, Hoboken and other well known cities. Sue, on the contrary, is true blue, wears well, and we’ve changed our ideas of Amity- ville exports since we’ve tested her. OLGA LAFRENTZ. ‘7 am sure care's an enemy to life. Olga is a maiden of many alma maters, of which Adelphi is the latest, and, we hope, the last. We suspect her of leaning toward Christian Science, for does she not give the Junior Corner large daily doses of absent treatment? Mexico is her Mecca and her hobby, and a serene manner her chief characteristic. A reward has been offered by the Oracle Board to anyone who may have seen Olga in a flurry, but as yet no one has applied for it. ALICE HARRIETTE LAPIDGE. Her gladness n hcn she's glad. And her sadness when she’s sad. Are not in it with her madness n hcn she's mad.' Here is a girl who hides her light under a bushel. A maiden mild is she—one of the few of us who love knowledge for knowledge's sake. Say anything wicked and Alice will blush for you. Like Shaw, she is one of the best listeners in the world, and sometimes, 1 fear, we tire her with our prattle. Still she plays the martyr willingly, and so we know not whether we are praised or censured. How few there are in manner like you, Alice! 135 JENNIE MARIE MATZDORF. “Hir haire ivas a yerde longe I gesse And Frenssh she spalf, ful faire and fetisly. From Flatbush—'nuff said! This specimen serves several pur- poses—one of them being the tape measure by which we measure our work, one inch to her yard. However, Jennie actually failed in Latin one day last year or the year before (I can’t remember which), and has since been paying even more attention to Domi- tian, Trajan and Dr. Sanford. Is fond of French plays, and dates (of the Punic War variety). But Jennie belongs to the Country Club of the class, so we pardon her for any little idiosyncrasies. LORETTO McGUIRE. I ought to have my orvn nin everything, and rvhat’s more, I t ill, too. Loretto! Spelled with an “o, please. “I could not choose my gender, but, thank goodness, I can choose my ideas! And she does—all of which are noble and manly. Was heard to express a clinging vine sentiment -in her Sophomore year, and has not yet fully recovered from the shock. Loretto hails from Jamaica, and has her goodly share of that well-famed Ginger. Possesses a decided democratic tendency; would gladly be a platonic friend to any rag-man, ash-man or peddler—provided he possessed a university degree, some Greek letter attachments to his name, and some basketball honors. Still, Loretto is con- sistent, having herself already the last two, and is strenuously striving for the first at Lehigh, New York and Oxford Uni- versities. Good luck in all three, Loretto!—but one after the other. FLORENCE SHILLARD MURPHY. IValfe and call me early, Mother. Call me early. Mother dear. A languid lass, with a Virginia bearing and a still more Vir- ginia drawl. Pronounces softly at the rate of three minutes per syllable. To highly appreciate Florence, one should find her ex- plaining a Physics problem to Florence C. Unkind friends have called the scene “The Blind Leading the Blind, but we would never repeat such language. Perhaps Florence received her share of mathematical and logical gray matter in infancy;—we do not know. However, the greater part has since vanished into thin air. Florence has instead a strong leaning toward the dream- world, and a delightful amount of inconsistency. A little care- free—bul we all love her. 136 LILLIAN INEZ O’DONOGHUE.

Lil is free from all cares and worries; is a butterfly by nature and a student by necessity, has nothing on her mind except her hair—which, we might add. is very pretty. EDITH OGDEN. “Full many a rose is born to blush unseen.” Edith has her complexionations varying from the standard deli- cate pink to crimson or purplish red, according to subject under discussion—deepest shades in Greek class. Is fond of hunting—• dear hunting preferred. (Spelled wrongly? Oh. of course! I beg your pardon.) She neither criticises nor checks criticism. We know' that Edith's interests outside of college are MANifold and so don’t hold her to strict account for shortcomings, which, if accounted for—would be a brief statement. LUCILLE MARIE OWEN. Her rapt soul silling in her eyes. The other half of Edna! When Edna runs, Lucille is tired; when Lucille studies, Edna absorbs knowledge. Of Lucille her- self, be it said that she combines Southern languor with French vivacity. In Freshman year came to college with one sneaking habit—which resulted in a Senior finding boxes of creamy fudge in her desk from time to time. But Lucille bravely conquered that habit, and now boldly confesses one huge liking! Lucille can do lots of things. Excels in nothing—except excellence. � 37 ROSALIE MURIEL PELL. What the lips cannot tell, the pen can. R. Muriel parts her name in the middle and is a brilliant but cynical wit. The only fault that we have to find with her is that so many interesting comments arc wasted on the desert air, because of that soft, gentle and low voice. Her knowledge of Latin almost equals Dr. Sanford's, and faithful application to duty is her credo. The most interesting experience of her life was managing the business affairs of the Oracle in connection with the Chief. Bom a man-hater, but environment is effecting a slow and sure change. JOHN HENRY SCHAUMLOEFFEL. An honest man, close buttoned to the chin. Broadcloth without, and a warm heart within. John holds a fine athletic record, and a Barlow medal from his Alma Mater. His course in higher education may be summed up as follows: Upon Meeting a Girl, Freshman Year—Blushed furiously. Sophomore Year—Blushed and talked. Junior Year—Talks furiously. His favorite resort is the work room and his favorite com- panions are test tubes, scales and pungent gases. We print below an itemized list of his obvious faults: DELIA ADAMS STEBBINS. ‘‘And musing on the little lives of men. And how they mar these little with their feuds.

However, they have been slight so far1, and when the final one does take her off in its clutches, the Class of Nineteen Eight will be ready with flowers—and congratulations. 39 EDNA MARY WERRY.

She should have had for her bosom friends Patient Grisclde and Meek Custance;” hut fate has ordained that she chum with Lucille. Edna’s charm lies in being charmed, and she is a living illustration of that true and famous proverb: Speech is silver, but silence is golden. SIGRID VICTORIA WYNBLADH. l'Hcr voice was ever soft, gentle and low—an excellent thing in woman. Is thoroughly imbued with an altruistic desire to reform so- ciety and prefers the slums to the class-room. So retiring that with the exception of Baby and Muriel, we are just beginning to get acquainted with her, and find—that she is just like other girls. Has a wealth of affection, which increases with use, and will probably form a good stock in trade when she begins her work of elevation.

B. C—General Idolizer, F. S. M.—Cheerful Assenter, L. M.—Determined Judge, L. O.—Enthuser, G. N. U.—General Dissenter. J. H. S.—Silent Partner. To facilitate the accomplishment of the worthy object above men- tioned, the discussion at a typical meeting will be appended. It is hoped that it will influence those students, incapable at present of appreciating the high lights because of the shadows, and inspire them to join the ranks of those who have been convinced of the folly of their judgment and the error of their ways. General Idolizer (reads a roast of one of the profs., submitted by a freshman, too young to fully comprehend the genius in whose light she is permitted to bask, day by day) : I think this is awful, don't you? Cheerful Assenter: Indeed it is!—I don't like it anyway. Enthuser: Gracious, girls, wouldn't he be mad if we printed it. General Dissenter: But it’s so witty, you know. Moreover the profs, like to see themselves in print, and those who aren't mentioned feel hurt. General Idolizer (to General Dissenter): Surely you wouldn t have such a thing go into the oracle? Determined Judge: Of course not—especially after all the fuss we had getting his subscription. Why, it's not to be considered! What do you think, Silent Partner? Silent Partner (a faint smile, a curl of the lip) : Well- General Idolizer (to General Dissenter) : You don't really approve of it, do you? 43 General Dissenter: I think the sentiment is entirely true, but some- times it's politic to keep the truth to yourself. Oh, well, I suppose it's, best to give it up. Silent Partner, you're a man. How would you feel if it were said of you? Silent Partner (breaks his record) : Sure, I think it's pretty hard. Enthuser: And besides, it doesn’t apply one bit. I think lie’s ever so nice. Who wrote it? She evidently doesn’t know him well. Detennincd Judge: True or not makes no difference—we won’t print it! General Idolizcr (to’General Dissenter) : Are you satisfied? General Dissenter: Yes—if the rest of you feel so strongly about it, but I think my own knock is much harder. Determined Judge: Yours hard? It can’t begin to compare with mine. General Idolizer: Nor mine! I think mine is perfectly dreadful. Chorus of remaining members: I think mine is the worst of all. Pause. General Idolizcr: This just shows how we ourselves feel about being knocked. How do you suppose that poor prof, will feel?' I think we’re all agreed that we won’t have it. It is clever—it’s too bad to lose it—but we must live up to our motto: Sparc the knock, and spoil the ' faculty r Finis. «44 Mith Apologia to 3fazzy-$Iuz|g.’’ E'VE met with many profs in this 'ere Hall, An some of ’em was hard an’ some was not— The Henderson and Sanford an’ them all— But Mr. Lawton was the finest o’ the lot.

HE silence in the French Class was becoming intense. The pro- fessor, except for certain wonderful facial expressions, sat motionless—waiting for an answer. Even the emaciated skull on the desk seemed strained and expectant. Suddenly from the corner where the minister’s daughter sat, an irreverent giggle broke out over the stillness. The professor raised his head (the skull looked relieved) and a light tap, tap of his pencil immediately smothered the giggle. “O, Dr. K--------,” came the despairing voice of the pupil, Eve forgotten the meaning.” The lips of the professor puckered, “Perhaps Mile. Mu-----phy can supply the desired words.” Mile. Mu-----phy languidly raised her hand to replace a stray lock, and supplied a word which caused the lips of the professor to pucker even more. “Perhaps,” he said, after a pause, “Mile. Ma------dorf can throw some light upon this subject.” Mile. Ma-----dorf could, and did with alacrity, at which the skull actually seemed to breathe. “Now, Mile. Dali-----n, will you please continue?” Mademoiselle sailed gallantly on for some time until she came upon a difficult word. Then she paused. The room had almost assumed its intense atmosphere again when Mademoiselle made a bold coup d’etat. “That’s a very queer word, Dr. K-------; I looked it up in the dictionary and couldn't find it.” “Indeed?” with a slight elevation of the eyebrows. “Yes,” continued the now emboldened Mademoiselle, “I even went to a larger one and was unable to find it.” “It is a queer word,” answered the professor, and then began a history of the word from its Latin derivation to its present meaning, frequently addressing himself to Mile. Ma----dorf for approval. ‘Thank you, Dr. K--------T said Mile. Dah-----man, when he had ceased, “but may I ask you a question? “Certainly,” this with a smile which the skull seems to reciprocate. “Do you think this play has as much force and depth as a German play? The characters seem like sticks and merely stalk about auto- matically; they don’t live and breathe as German characters do, you know what I mean”—this with her sweetest smile. 150 “Ah, but you must get the point of view of the French writer, you are very harsh, don’t you think so?” “But there is nothing truly dramatic in this. When I read Goethe’s Iphegenia, I feel and see the whole thing! There is no imagination here, it is all cold—bare! “Yes ' from a decisive voice behind Mademoiselle, the dramatic is entirely lacking. These characters are not real. I can't help myself, when I read a play, I must criticise ’ Certainly, certainly,” from the chair, “but don’t you think tlrat it is at least fair to put yourself in the time of these men. Their century was not the twentieth.” “No,” the decisive voice again; “we must look at it with our own eyes, that's the way to criticise.” The professor’s mouth curled into a smile. “O, Dr. Kerr,” from Mademoiselle again, “there is so much more to the German, he seems to feel!—but these Frenchmen—it’s all form.” That’s just the trouble with the French,” this from the Sophomore “gentleman.” “they always place form before matter.” The professor shrugged his shoulders a la Canadien, “Ah, but you must realize what place the Frenchman gives to form. He gives it first place, the Englishman gives matter first place, who’s to decide? Another shrug. Why, of course, matter is first, the Sophomore ejaculated. “But the German, Dr. K-------------,” broke in the sweet voice of Mademoiselle once more, the German has matter to a great degree, and form is not cast aside; and Goethe’s Iphegenia, it is beautiful! beautiful!!” this last with a characteristic gesture. At this point the bell rings, the students gather up their books and file out with one last look at the skull on the desk. Its eyes seem to watch them on their way toward the door, and each one feels sure as she passes out, that if only the lower part of its face were complete, it would call after them, “Au revoir. Spiritualism.—Discussion in Psychology. F. C.—Yes, Dr. H.—there certainly is something in it. My brother was shocked the other night at a meeting, when his name was called.

A freshman’s definition of sulphuric acid: Sulphuric acid is an acid which dissolves clothing very rapidly. (This definition was undoubtedly learned from experience.) «54 A SUnmuttir Ernttanre In Bleak House, not far from The Mill on the Floss, there dwelt Jane Eyre, The Lady of the Lake, who was known all over the country for her Pride and Prejudice. She was beloved of one Ben Hur, who kept an Old Curiosity Shop and was also a Music Master. One day he sent her a Scarlet Letter, in which he wrote Reveries of a Bachelor, which so displeased the young lady's father that he declared the man should go to The Walls of Jericho before he should again darken the door of his Palace Beautif ul. The young maid was in great despair and wept bitterly with her sister, Lucile, who also had an unfortunate love affair with The Little Minister, a man of desperate fortune and quite impossible. Romeo and Juliet, The Heavenly Twins of the family, seeing the grief of their elder sisters, set up such a howl as would have pierced The Heart of Midlothian, and were only pacified, finally, by the sisters singing to them, The Lay of the Last Minstrel. But Jane could not overcome her grief, and wept incessantly in the secret of her chamber. However, one night she heard without, the strains of 7'he First Violin, which was playing the pensive notes of Cupid's Bozver. Hastily opening her casement, she peered out and saw below The Last of the Mohegans, who had come with a message from her lover. ‘“Madame, he whispered, “my lord and master, Ben Hur, begs of you to elope and fly with him to The Eternal City.” “Yes, yes,” murmured the lady breathlessly. “He will meet you,” continued the messenger, “at The Crossings, when The Bells proclaim the midnight hour on the morrow.” The lady threw a Bozo of the Orange Ribbon to signify her pledge, and the Indian disappeared. The maid retired, not, however, to sleep, but to think of her lover. But the morning after a message came to Jane from The Fair Maid of Perth, saying that Ben Hur had lost his Great Expectations and was now penniless. The proud maid then decided to give up such a lover, and consequently failed to meet him. The poor fellow felt so miserable that he crossed The Bridge of Sighs and was seen no more. Then a young man, Daniel Derouda, sued for the hand of the maid, and he pleased the father; but the proud lady said she would have noth- ing to do with The Wandering Jew, A Man Without a Country. Again the father presented to her a youth, this time one called Tom Jones, The Mutual Friend of John Halifax, but the maid would have none of him, nor of David Copperdcld, a Merchant of Venice, be- cause she considered them beneath her, and called them The Hypocrites. But one evening when she went to The MasJied Ball, she met a youth of charming disposition, whose manners resembled those of the days When Knighthood zeas in Flozver. He called himself The Honor- able Peter Sterling, and he was master of The Castle of 0 Iron to, The House of Tame. And upon his breast there hung The Talisman of his family, on which were engraved the figures of 'The Lion and the Mouse, the coat of arms of his family. When he broached the important ques- tion she smiled sweetly, and answered, “As You Like It,” and Twelfth Night was set as the wedding day. Her trousseau was prepared on an extensive scale, and she received many beautiful presents, among which was one from an uncle, who spent His Last Dollar in buying her the statue of The Marble Faun. When at last the happy day dawned, The A bbot from The Monastery near by was sent for, and the wedding was solemnized in The Cathedral with great pomp.

VOYAGE TO THE OPSOODLES. SCRAMUEL SCHOLA RVER, feeling- the desire to see strange countries come upon me once more, decided to explore the land - of the Opsoodles, situated in the vast continent of Studadelphia. I had heard many reports concerning this country, all of which described the strange and benighted condition of the race by which it is peopled, and declared them to be far behind the surrounding nations of Studa- delphia in beauty, culture, and graciousness. Animated by a desire to verify this report, I set sail, and after a tedious voyage reached that part of the continent of Studadelphia in- habited by the Opsoodles. I was most hospitably received by a native family or tribe, and immediately began my study of the inhabitants. One of my first observations was upon a certain strange phenomenon which partook of the nature of an optical illusion, something on the order of color-blindness, but with this difference, that it applied to the size of objects seen. Thus an Opsoodle, gazing on a creature belonging to a different race, invariably sees the creature much smaller than he really is. This optical defect, however, does not affect an Opsoodle when he is estimating the size of one of his own species. In fact. I noticed that ex- actly the reverse is true. To an Opsoodle one of his own race seems gigantic in size. The bodies of the Opsoodles are normal in size, except their heads, which are very large in proportion to the size of the rest of their bodies. Scientific investigations are being carried on to determine whether or not the gray matter of these people is proportional to the size of their heads, but neither satisfactory nor encouraging results have as yet been attained. It is expected that in the course of two years some definite conclusion will be reached. The commercial bent of these people greatly impressed me. It man- ifests itself mostly in buying and selling. At regular intervals the Op- soodles hold sales, and they show perspicacity in this, that the commo- dities sold are invariably edibles. The proceeds they use to reduce their national debt, which is very great, owing to the inadequate system of taxation which they have mistakenly adopted. Indeed, governmental reform is greatly needed by these people, for they dwell amidst constant commotions and tumults. This deplorable 157 dissension also exists between the clans, of which there are two. I soon discovered that the tribe which entertained me is considered a social inferior and an upstart by the older clan, which prides itself on its great age and renowned ancestry. Indeed, like the Greek heroes of old, they allege their descent from the early gods of their country. However, al- though they arc unwilling to acknowledge the similar claims of the younger clan, the aristrocrats condescend to entertain them, wishing to allow them the privilege of association with the best society. I could not refrain from reflecting that absolute democracy would be better among a people who differ so little in actuality. But what shocked me most among the Opsoodles was their lack of deference and respect for age. And I consider this quality absolutely necessary. I decided to dwell no longer among these people. I did not tarry, but soon completed my arrangements, and departed from the shores of the Opsoodles by the first ship which set sail. A 3fnit Prnfrssnrsljipa Nut f Smitjuinrii fan Ahelplji—At Hartjr.

HEN to Delphi's Hall come the Freshmen small They are all good, better, bestest; How they struggle and cram, pass each dread exam, And with “A”s, every record blest is. Next semester’s here; turmoil reigns I fear, Till displaced is each beam and rafter, While the prof, so grim calleth each a ‘‘limb’'; That’s before—but this, this is after. When by dance or play, thoughts are led astray, Tho’ a quiz you face to-morrow, Yet each heart beats light while you waltz all night, And no reckoning make of sorrow. Then, alas! and alack! to your work you’re back And an F’s not conducive to laughter, And you think with pain of what might have been, That's before—but this, this is after. When your heads are awhirl with the joyous swirl Of lessons learned completely, And your teacher sings to the friend he brings Of your knowledge and wit most sweetly. There’rc my banner class, and you fail en masse With replies that grow daft and dafter, Prof, will greet next day in a different way; That's before—but this, this is after. When your gown’s bran new, and your cap is, too, And your tassel right front's adorning, Then you’d scorn to cut Monday Chapel, but Only wish it were held every morning. To watch the boys sing is most interesting, And you nearly expire with laughter. Some man talks a bunch and you get no lunch; That's before—but this, this is after. When these editors bright 'gan their hard task to write, Then with wisdom each brain was teeming, Essay, poem, and pun were for them simply fun, And their wits scintillating and gleaming. But it’s different now, lined and wrinkled each brow, For to write—well, they simply have “ter. And they groan and sigh and worry, oh my! That’s before—but this, this is after! (Slipping 3Fmm tljr “ iCttmis ” April 53� 1907 The Adelphi Infirmary has many patients just now, owing to the increased strain and pressure of work. Alice Fuller, ’07, and Grace Delano, ’07, have bad cases of The Smarts; but, this not being contagious, they are al- lowed t,o associate with their fellow- students. In fact, this is thought the best cure for the disease. Lottie Ulrich, '07, is down again with Crushitis, and the doctors fear Enlarge- ment of the Heart. Lillian Whitlock’s nerve trouble has been constantly growing worse and worse. Swelling of the Nerve has set in and it is feared that Gertrude Sayler, ’07, will contract the disease. The Children’s Ward reports that Eugenie O’Brien, ’10, and Alicia Kennedy, ’09, are suffering with The Teasles and the doctors recommend isolation as a final resort. It has been impossible to decide whether Edna Werry has Bashfuleria or Shyitis. A consultation was held yesterday, and a complication of dis- eases is feared. The Health Committee report that a germ of Flipsomania has been spreading among the students. Lillian O'Dono- ghue, ’oS, and Isabelle Kelly, ’09, show symptoms of the disease. Grace Broadhurst, '07, has been re- moved from the Contagious Ward to a private sanitarium. She is suffering with Large Eye (l). Visiting day at the Infirmary has been changed to the Sth day of each week. SAIN, rain, go away, Come again another day; I need my Marcel-waves to-night, For without them, I look a fright!

For that dreadful warning bell again Bids that you hasten with both might and main, For if once more to Latin you are late. To plead for mercy will be all in vain. Methought within the College ghosts did glide. And Dr. S. in lofty treble cried, “Behold! Take warning, Freshmen great and small, For these were absent once—and lo ! They died.” Each morn a thousand questions brings, you say; And each is far, far worse than yesterday. “ Oh, what—oh what can be the use,” you moan, “When naught but F’s my labors e’er repay?” A cozy corner piled with pillows bright,— Some one to feed you, some, your theme to write; A frap or two, a dance, an extra cut,— Such is the Freshie’s measure of delight. Some want to play the leading part, and some As Lituus stars would seek to make a hum; And others—but defend us, gods and men! The treasurer for class dues has come. And those who husbanded each little dime, The piper pay at his appointed time; But thou, unthrifty one, without your lunch Must daily go— be it or not a crime. I sometimes think while gazing from below At those long weary flights which well I know, If ever some kind Soph, will say, “ My child, You, too, may in the elevator go. ”— Ah! my beloved, think not Chapel slow, But when it’s time for ydu to therein go. Take to amuse your chum and you a book, Some candy and a Teddy bear or so. 162 But come now, in the Freshman mirror stare, Lo! what unearthly sight bcholdst thou there? Is that—that—I,” you shriek in terror wild, “Those weird, weird eyes, and that, is that my hair?” And maids there are of every shape and size, And some are dense withal and some are wise; And some arc silent, and some, too, there are Whose ever-ready laughter shakes the skies. On, on to battle—give them blow for blow! Strike for the green and white and down the foe! What greater joy than college basketball, When ’fore us 1909 is bending low. And now the first act of our little play Is nearly o'er—the actors fled away, To change their tassels to the Soph’more side, And add new dignity from day to day-. But of all joy that this our earthly flesh While yet it doth our dauntless souls enmesh Can give, what think you is as great as this Each of us finds when an Adelphi Fresh Sing a song of flunk notes, Little billet doux!

You surely must have missed; And for this reason we shall give, A few names from its list. First, there is Ella, our President, Could you find such another, wherever you went ? Then, there is Leila, our theatrical girl, Who in doublet and hose makes maidens’ hearts whirl; Next, think of Edna, our cheerful class “bluff,” Who ne’er fails to answer, quite well enough; Then comes Helen C., our famous mimic. Compared with her, no one else is in it; Marion’s the next; you couldn’t choose, A better for Treasurer, she gets the class dues; Waldo and Lyons are our original pair. Just see their important business-like air; Jessie is tactful, clever and witty. Always most capable on a committee; Madeleine makes a most mischievous Puck, May she always have the best of good luck; Don’t pass o’er Alicia, sprightly and gay. And at basket-ball hard to beat any day; Frances, performer on piano and ’cello. Loved by all who acknowledge, “the violet and yellow”; And Mollic, our favorite “Senior lass,” Whom we couldn’t allow to depart from our class.

Once upon a time there were two students, and the one was dili- gent and the other was not. And it chanced upon a certain occasion that a long, hard lesson was given to each to prepare. The diligent one went to his work diligently and burned the midnight oil, until his brain waxed dull, and he could not so much as finish the last paragraph. But the other spent his time in riotous gayety, so that he opened not the book, wherein- the lesson lay. And upon the next day the diligent one went to class, and it happened that he knew not the last paragraph for which he was called on. and he flunked grievously, so that his record received an 1 '.

Once upon a time there was a castle in Spain. It was an old castle with crumbling walls, and hardly any roof. But the peculiar thing about it was its atmosphere. A strange charm was all about the place, that made one restless and rested at the same time. It seemed always as if some unexpected delight must be just round the nearest corner. On sunny days, the shadows were rich and dark, and sunbeams only here and there fell through the holes or casements and got lost in the dust; while a briny breeze blew over the tower above, and puffed into rooms on the sea side. On damp days, a thousand scents as of foreign woods, of dried flowers and ripe fruits, of Jeather book coverings and tobacco, of spices and outland silks. Quite by itself and alone this castle stood for many years. All the great folk who had lived in it had departed. Their descendants, who spoke with pride of the castle—its strength, its glory of doughty and fair deeds—all lived in elegant valley houses on the land side. Never one of them climbed to the castle, which seemed going to a forgotten decay. But a peasant child, son of many generations of sailors, once wandered far along the narrowing beach, till sea and cliff met. Then, out of pure idleness and love of climbing, he scrambled up the cliff to where the castle stood, and, going round the edge, came through a flagged court into the great hall. Peer- ing always ahead, he roamed and climbed about, till in the tower he came upon a window wide enough to sit in. And the window looked seaward. Far below, tall surges broke on the cliff, dashing spray a good way up, and the sun was low over a green, treacherous ocean. The boy looked at it all with sheer joy. All sorts of queer thoughts and feelings stirred his brain. A song came to his lips, and he sang it out, to the sea. Then surprise overtook him, for it was a new song. And he felt a bit shame-faced, so he slipped away from the win- dow, down the stairs and down the rocks, and home. Ever so many times again, the boy spent his day with the old castle. Each time he dreamed himself into the life of the castle, and nearly always he found a song. As he grew older he looked more and more out to sea. Now and again, where people were gathered together, in summer twilights or firelit winter evenings, he would venture one of the songs that had come to him up in the castle. And the people smiled or laughed or quivered, as he wished. At other times they only looked queerly at him, and whispered that he was as odd as his greatgrandfather. The boy heeded such whispers little. He did not understand people. He understood the sea and loved its moods. And so many years passed unnoticed. 187 PART II. Once upon a time there was a princess. She was a real princess, for she understood and controlled intuitively. But her eyes were as violet, her hair as dusky, and her lips as full and red as those of the veriest fisher-girl. Only her eyes had looked upon many gildings and through many “hollow bubbles,” and her lips held a scornful curl in one corner. But in spite of these things she was young, and because of them, when she did look gleeful the whole court could but laugh, too. The princess wearied of the court sometimes. So at one time, in the early summer, she ran away from it, and went to live by the seaside for a year and a day. And, oddly enough, she and the boy made friends. They watched the sea together, and at last the boy showed her his castle. As it seemed, he reasoned rightly in so doing, for the princess also found and loved the deep shadows, the slender sunbeams, and the ghosts of perfumes. All the castle was a little more pleasant with two, but especially was the seaward casement so. The princess sat there now, and- the boy leaned his elbows on the sill beside her, and both looked over the sea. On sunny days their merriment rose to high tide, and the boy’s songs were delicate and strung on perfect bits of melody, caught from the spray below, and the sway of the lady’s hair in the wind above. They amused the princess; that was enough. On dull or stormy days the mouths of both had a hard expression, and their eyes looked beyond the horizon. The boy’s strain was low, then, and no more cadenced than the surf. It made the princess nervous at times; she would go away to dream among more sheltered rooms; till the storm ended, the boy would not know it. Such songs haunted the lady’s dreams too much for her comfort, till sunny days dispelled them. And so many days passed unnoticed. PART III. One day (it was early summer) the princess was gone. The boy won- dered a little, why she had not told him, and when she would return. Only after days and days of racing over the sands and scaling the highest castle rocks, did he know that she never would come back. And then, almost as if the princess were vital to his boyhood, all energy left him. He sang in the tower window no longer, but occasionally, among people, where a quiet song would serve, it came to him. He seemed to grow smaller and queerer than ever. As the year came round to early summer, the villagers missed him. A fisherman had seen him climb the tower; an old driftwood gatherer had heard snatches of a singularly ringing sea-song; a child had watched a goldy cloud appear over the tower at sunset, or perhaps it was only a level ray touching the top. The princess sat on her throne, in an idle hour, making soort for her court. A whirl of dust sped down the hall, a shrivelled brown leaf fell at her feet. The princess looked, and some half memory stirred her just to shiver and sigh. Then the game went on. iS8 (Ut? 2Cttuffi ijall. upon a time there lived a great king who was called In- telligencc, because of his great wisdom. Xow, one day, bc- 2 3 cause this king was as good as he was wise, he decided to form a large Iiall of Learning in order that he might teach others to be wise as well. But lie knew full well that he could not do this single handed, so lie called his herald and bade him proclaim to all the world that he, the king, was desirous of forming a Hall of Learning, and invited all who cared, to come and help him in his work. The-herald, who was known all over the country as Jollity, because of his merry face and happy disposition, went forth and made the king's proclamation. And the people, when they heard, were rejoiced, and raised loud shouts of praise to their king. Of those in the king’s own city who came, he chose two; one called the Silent Golfer, for he took a silent interest in this sport, and the other was known as Inflection, for lie had a wonderful power in his voice which could change from Titania’s sweet, soft tones to the rich elo- quence of an Antony. But the blast of the trumpet was loud and clear, and its echo crossed the State where a little man heard and came to the king. “Athlete they call me,” and he turned a somersault to prove his efficiency. Then, once more the herald blew his trumpet. This time the echo pierced the heart of New England and many wise persons of divers talents heard, and answered its summons. The first one to present him- self was called Twinkle, for he had imbibed the influence of the stars In- constant gazing upon the heavenly spheres. The next one was called Eloquence, because he could talk upon any theme in a manner which was both scholarly and interesting. After him came' one called Conscience, for he had inherited this excellent quality of his Puritan ancestors. The last one from this region was a tall, slender youth, called Jack of all Trades, for he could do many things, from superintending children to fiddling, but, unlike Jack, he was master of all. Then the herald faced about and blew his trumpet in the direction of the sunny south. A lady answered the call, “Nature is my name,” she said, “for it is of Nature I teach, and it is Nature I love.” But still the herald was not weary, and once more blew a loud, clear blast, which sent the echoes into the wild, wild west. A little man came, known to all children as Papa, for he loved them much, but, best of all, he knew all about them. Another came, a good fruit from a bad tree, for he came from a wicked, windy city. “Humor is my name,” he said with a smile as he lowered his eyes to hide the laughter. Once again the herald raised the trumpet and set the echoes ring- ing. This time they rang over a distant country which boasts of a winter palace made of snow. Three wise persons heard and came to the city of the great king. The first was known as Graciousness, for she was kind to every one, and loved all mankind. After her a gentleman followed; Politeness was his name, because he knew the etiquette book from cover to cover, and followed its rules assiduously. Another lady came after him, whose heart was as kind as her brain was clever, therefore she was called Capability. By this time the herald was weary and his breath came in short, quick gasps. But rousing himself with an effort, he blew once more with all his strength. And the echo was louder than ever before, and crossed the ocean, where two wise men heard its summons, Idealism and Infinity, for the one had lofty ideals in an ideal world, while the other had but one hobby, the fourth dimension. And when all these good, wise people had come together, the king converted his great palace into a Hall and sent for his herald to proclaim that all was ready. And the herald did the king's command, and be- cause his face was kind, and his smile so merry, many Maidens, and even some Youths came to the Hall of this great, good king. And when they had completed their studies, they went forth into the world not merely wise, but good and true as well. Daunt. 0 fp)HE earth lies strange and dim, mm A wonder-world of unfamiliar line, With dark blurred shadows softened by the mist That spreads out silently, enveloping: On land and river all is dim and gray, The air is still, and awed, and spirit-like. But suddenly a strange new life is felt, A robin's note is heard, and slowly, Slowly vanishes the misty veil— The shadows come distinct, And far above, in sky of faintest blue, Pale streaks of rose proclaim the dawn. '•fcUfer'.- is umu't 3i|jj£pF all the day, the evening hour, f p|when God, in all his glorious power Of sunset splendors, shows his might In beauteous colors, rays of light— I love the best. Oh, silent space, When light and darkness run the race Of emulation, may light win— For Light and Youth are most akin. I would not speak to break the spell, Which breathes a calm o’er hill and dell. And in that calm, sweet, holy hour, No dark’ning thoughts do o'er me low’r. And goodness, oh! thou tiny seed! I worship thee. Thou rantank’rous weed Of Satan's garden, fly thee hence! With thy dark temptings can I well dispense. A (Eollatr dlitral —TO present an open mind and responsive heart, to accept instruction as a guide rather than a law, to attend Chapel for peace and in- spiration, to use the library as a key to the abode of keen intellects and warm hearts that are no more, to prepare faithfully for recitations as a training in thoroughness and duty, to belong to clubs as a means of broadening my mental view, and enjoying social communion among those with whom I daily work, to become an effective unit in the class organization, cherish and fulfill the ideals of Alma Mater, enrich my own ideals, broaden my interests, and gain so sympathetic an insight into the life of my fellow students that I can meet them heart to heart with loving understanding and generous help. i9i (imm Says itt Autumn LEAD-GRAY sky o’er a lead-grav sea, The unceasing grind of tide-washed stones; Spray fleeing from the stinging blast, Like a tortured spirit’s the ocean’s moans. White ripples breaking on yellow sands, A sea-gull swooping from blue to blue; The long, slow wash of the lazy sea, And barren dunes where the sea-grass grew. 1 2 A (Hrageftir uf “fk GDliuv (Elchin? Oltesr.’ j|j||}Nf ye days of ye prime of “Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese,” There lived a most goodly sized rat. if you please. He dwelt with his family as snug as could be, Where all that went on in this inne he could see. “Ye Cheese” was ye haunte of ye grete and ye weys, So ye learn’cl scholars ate there before Sir Rat’s eyes. While S. Johnson ye State of ye weatheer discuss’d, R. Steele and J. Addison, sate there and fuss’d; For they own’d a paper of no little note. For which, when in humour, their worthy friends wrote. And so it would happen, sometimes, to be sure, Their supply of gude essays would be rather pure. Now one day O. Goldsmith his gude friends had told One writing he own’d which had not yet been sold. Ye morrow he’d bring it. as sure as could be. For to get it that night were his spirits too free. Next evening ye gude rumpe steak pudding to eat, They went to “Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese” in Fleet Streete. Goldsmith brought his essay, quite true to his word, But during ye reading ye rat was much bor’d. But when appear'd steaming ye pudding so riche, Craz’d then was ye rat, as by magic of witch. He watch’d with both eyes with his nose in ye air As all ye grete gourmands ate ve lord pudding there. Now ye spirits ran free as was wont at this time, ’Til ye men in ye corner were feeling quite prime; They laid themselves down and were soon fast asleep, And then could Sir Rat a riche reward reap. 103 He ate up ye crumbes all so juicy and swete, Then sought for riche somethings that his wife he might treat; And all of a sudden he saw, if you please, A paper all stiey and luscious with grease. Ye sonne ye next morning on going his round, Look’d in at ye window so nere to ye ground. He saw our friends hunting as never before, They looked on ye mantle, they look’d on ye floor. They wanted ye paper, so sought high and low, But just where it was only you and I know. If we go to ye rat-hole at ye ende of ye bench, Ye sight of ye shredes there, our hertes it will wrench. Airy AntliimjH Whoof-la ! Whoof-la !” The air-ships were sailing swiftly, decked out with flags and other holiday trimmings1; for it was Edison’s Birthday, and the world was celebrating. A sudden wind caught one of the ships, causing it to crash into another, passing by. From the depths of the injured ship, a startled young woman arose, with a frantic expression and (lying hair. Gracious! What can he the matter!” That you. Lillian?” cried a voice from the other ship. Why! Frances!” came the answer. I heard you were living in the wild and wooly west.” So 1 am,” replied Frances. T only came east on a short trip for copy. You know my husband edits the Tombstone Times, and I conduct the department on ‘How to Manage Men. This department has in- creased the subscription to the paper by almost eleven copies. But what are you doing, Lillian ?” Still counting stars. was the dreamy answer. Frances cast a pitying glance at her friend and asked how Pussic was faring. Pussie has become more of a man-hater than ever, and has at last entered a convent. But tell me about Anna C. Anna has a studio in an out-of-the-way Italian village with Anna G.. where they arc painting banana stands and macaroni. I never hear from her any more, but I suppose she will be at Ellis Island when her funds give out. Where is Marion ?” “Oh! Haven’t you heard?” asked Lillian. “She is trying to de- cide whether to marry Algernon or Marmaduke. It’s unfortunate that there is no one with a longer name, to solve the difficulty.” Just then a hearty voice hailed them from another air-ship. Hello! Girls! Isn't it fine to meet old friends again?” “It’s Punic,” cried the two girls in chorus. “Anchor your ship and tell us all your news.” “I have just made a fortune on my work, The History and Deriva- tion of Slang.’ But, tell me about the other girls. Did you hear that Evelyn ran an American circus? Yes, she does. But, come, how’s Floddie?” Phe faces of the two girls fell. «95 “Alas! Poor Florence! As soon as the Oracle came out. she hired a padded cell, all upholstered in blue. Everybody advised'it. “And Susie, said Lillian, “left College immediately after the Junior Prom, to be simply,—a society belle. And did you hear about Edna? She overcame her Puritanic disapproval of dancing, and now actually conducts a dancing class for awkward youths who have trouble in learning.'’ “Strange! said Punic. “But what is Lucille doing to keep Satan at bay ?” “Lucille keeps a candy store, where she sells her delicious fudge. In addition she practices medicine. The two trades combine beautifully, many of her patrons being also her patients. “Yes, Punic said, and have you heard about Loretto? She lost her second husband six months ago, and is now planning for the third. And Maud is more inseparable from her than ever. She is even going with her on her wedding tour. But what has become of the ’o8 men Y “Milton, said Frances, “divides his time between managing a theatre and running a dry-goods store; and twice a week he fiddles in the new Academy of Music. As for John, lie is going from college to college, giving lectures on how to overcome shyness. But what is Jennie doing? “Jennie? Oh! yes, I read in the paper the other day that she had just compiled a ponderous volume, called, ‘A Review of French Literature from the Time of Charlemagne to the Present Day.’ That reminds me. I have several clippings here about some of the girls. Listen. ‘Feb. io: Serious revolt in China among the Boxers. Miss Sigrid Wynbladh, a young missionary, beautiful and artless, had a narrow escape.’ ” “Why did she ever go to such a place!” said Punic. “Hear this ‘Review of Books,’ ” said Frances. “Brilliant and scholarly production on ‘The Logical Aspects of Higher Mathematics,' by Miss Florence S. Murphy. Octavo calf, $5.00. “By Miss Olga Lafrentz, ‘Some Colleges J Have Known.' Ten volumes, Si 1.39.” Lillian drew a long breath and Frances went on reading. “The ocean liner Saxonia sunk! Three persons miraculously saved! Rescued from a raft in the middld’of the ocean. Miss Sigrid Freeberg, Miss Alice Lapidge and Miss Ida Glass, who were en route to England t:i study the English system of teaching Latin, were saved from a watery grave by the presence of mind of Miss Glass. When the ship was sinking, 196 the three young women, with Miss Freeberg's trunk of medals, managed to get into a row-boat. Had it not been for Miss (Hass's swift action in casting the trunk overboard, the row-boat also would have sunk.” “But, girls!” said Punic, “have you seen Gcrt Dahlman? She is starring in ‘Texas ” Oh. yes, answered Frances, “she made a splendid hit the night I was there, and was called before the curtain five times by the ap- plause of the gallery.” “And Muriel,” said Punic, has rivaled Diogenes in his tub by taking up her abode in a cold-water-pitcher. I'm fortunate not to be nearby, said Frances. “Mildred is teach- ing biology. I hear. Tell me,—is Sidonie still Denham ? Sidonie,” replied Lillian, “has start« 1 a new religion of her own. Indeed, it is so entirely her own, that she is both preacher and con- gregation. She always was original. But has any one heard about Irene?” She's the champion basket-ball player of Kalamazoo. You've heard of that place.” Yes, indeed. Dr. Fradenburgh often mentioned it. Susie Ireland is running a Land Improvement Company on Long Island. That was a favorite place with Dr. Fradenburgh, too. But, girls, whatever has become of Delia Stebbins? Oh, said Lillian, she is the pioneer Woman Theatre Manager of New York. She is running the Ibsen Theatre. And Edith Ogden has just taken out another patent on her rouge. ‘But it remained for Gertrude Unger to give international fame to the great Class of 1908. She is President of the International League for Governmental Reform. She is, at present, revising the Constitutions of Germany, France, England, Russia, and the United States.” They need it, rejoined Punic. “But look, Lillian. There’s a star. Have you started counting to-night?” “Oh, dear,” cried Lillian, I'll be late for the Celebration Dance. Good-bye, girls; so glad we met. And with that, she sailed off. I suppose pi'll have to part, too. It was fine to talk over the girls, wrasn't it?” Yes, indeed, answered Punic, with a hearty handshake; and with that, they were gone. And the tiny stars peeped out of the darkness, one by one, and smiled. � 97 ArknmuMgnmtt The Board take this o p p o r t u n i t y of expressing their gra- titude to all who have in any way aid- ed in the making of this book. littis 3ln|px PAGE William Clark Peckham (Portrait)... .2 Dedication........................3 Greeting..........................5 Oracle Board......................6 Preface...........................7 Board of Trustees.................9 Faculty .......................10-16 College Honors and Prizes......17-18 Class Day Exercises...............19 Commencement Exercices............20 College Calendar..................21 Mid-Year Convocation..............22 Senior Class (Drawing)............23 Class Picture.................24 History.......................25 Officers.......................26 Members.....................27-28 Junior Class (Drawing).............29 Class Picture..................30 History.....................31-32 Officers...................... 33 Members.....................34 38 Sophomore Class (Drawing) .........39 Class Picture..................40 History....................... 4 Officers.......................42 ' Members.....................43-44 PAGE Freshman Class (Drawing)...........45 Class Picture..................46 History......................47-48 Officers.......................49 Members......................50-51 Normal Department (Frontispiece)... 53 Senior Normals (Class Picture).....54 History........................55 Officers.......................56 Members........................57 Junior Normals (Class Picture).....58 History.....................59-60 Officers.......................61 Members.........................62 Art Departmemt..................63 65 Teachers' Courses...............66-68 Fraternities....................69-74 College Organizations...........75-96 Publications...................97-101 Athletics.....................103-no Dramatics.....................111-117 Senior Calendar...................1 iS College Entertainments........119-128 Bitter Sweets.................129-140 Former Members ’08............141-142 Poems Etc.....................143-1S3 Literary..........................184 Those who have made this book possible...................... 201 Sept. 2 _.

IF YOU HAVE NOT Blectric Slicjbtmcj he most sanitary, safe, clean, convenient and comfortable method of illumination in your home or place of business WHY not install it at once? You must certainly recognize its incomparable superiority. It really makes life better worth the living. Then what stands in the way of your adopting an electric service? ??? IS IT A QUESTION OF EXPENSE ??? If so, that question can now be dismissed from consideration. Since recent reduction in rate, Electric Light is now, all things considered, practically as cheap as gas. The matter of economy no longer enters into the calculation. f ??? IS IT A QUESTION OF WIRING ??? • If your premises arc not wired for an electric service, don’t let that longer prevent you from enjoying it. Wiring, under modern methods, can be accomplished at moderate cost and with little disturbance to the household. (f you do not feel like incurring the expense of wiring in a lump sum, communicate with us; we can arrange so hat you may have easy terms covering the wiring cost. Details, information, and if you wish it, help from our engineering staff in the matter of plans, can be had by you for the asking.
