Hm'e'S one fo om' woyal selves. 5 prologue as Dear reader, we your strict attention ask To this our chosen, true, primeval task. These pagesjhere indited do contain What none of our posterity can feign. For bright as day which now in gayest robe Ascends her zenith o'er the peaceful globe, So Genius fair has waked, awhile to grace T Our work, our book that she has crown'd with praise Led by her guiding hand may then you gain To airy realms access, and not in vain. Like some magician, fraught with potent skill, Who transforms, molds each varied mass at will, Or calls the sprightly forms from lowly birth, And stories bubbling o'er with teeming mirth, The raptured Muse pours forth her noblest strains, Untiring, sweetly sung, varied refrains. From histories of lowly Freshmen sung, To that of Seniors grave, just begun, And Prophecy of Nought-two, strange and weird, Vile jokes on staid old Profs we've so endear'd, Insanities, so mystic yet so true, And Tales, original to all of you, CBy artist, Drawings versatile, well done gj Till to the Grinds, in your search you come, There to enjoy the rhymes the bards have raised, In sweet simplicity of song, so prais'd. Then here, you'll find a fairyland enchanted Where all desires, both fond and true, are granted. P READ LEASE EACH F AND ACETIOUS CLEVER EFFUSION ,., ., 1. WJ' 'Cl ' My 'Q 1' 3 1 I QN-5 WL, , 1 W.

X.-ACTLY what is meant by college spirit is difficult to state in a four or five- word definition, and yet to every college man the term has definite and significant meaning. 'Many a student, who would hesitate to put into words his understanding of the term, would have little difficulty in applying the test contained in them to any given action or utterance. His conception of their content has developed with his college life, and he is conscious of the existence of a code, not titled, articled and numbered, but none the less definite and accurate. The fact is, this thing called college spirit is practically a kind of public spirit in miniature. The college is the student's community, and within its confines his communifty sense is first awakened and developed, and his consideration of what is for the best interest of this community is first claimed. Regarding many ques- tions, tests are to be applied and decisions -demanded, for which previou-s experi- ence has been by no means a preparationg there is novelty, there may be con- fusion in the situation, but there are also interest and mental stimulus. The point of view is radically changed and materially elevated, self becomes less insistent, steps are taken and courses decided upon because they are believed to be for what We may call public welfare, and the training of the future citizen as a member of a community has begun. Very few, we think, will deny the ben-ent of this enlarged outlook or the advantage attendant upon this extended activity. All will concede, rather, that the training in this college or public sense is one of the most valuable features of a college education. Imagine, if you can, the case of a student absolutely lacking in college spirit. Let him be an absorbed, a devoted student, but still a kind of literary recluse without interest or activity in college affairs. Whatever pride every man of the college may feel in such a student's ability and attainments, there will be linked with it a sense of disappointment, a regret that the power of this man has not been made pervasive and communi- cable--a feeling that his absorption and concentration in self have wilfully abridged great opportunities for usefulness. We can hardly expect such a stu- dent to become, by any normal development, a public-spirited citizen. We believe, however, that to every man his college means more than merely an educational facility, and we know that there is abundant authority for the opinion that the attachment of a student for his college is sincere and lasting. To confirm this opinion we have but to take the testimony of eminent alumni when they steal away from engrossing occupations to become boys again, to talk II over their youthful experiences, and to renew their youthful enthusiasms. The formation of such an attachment may well be deemed a fortunate incident in the life of any man. Not only will it furnish a bright link to join him to a delightful past, but it will provide l1im the golden opportunity for devotion to an ideal. The college to him will come to stand for many things which purify, ennoble and elevate. No abstract moral doctrine could have the effect, none could be so readily absorbed into his being and become so powerful an influence upon his life as his veneration for college traditions, his love for college ideals. In fact, the step from the ideals of a college to the ideals of the intellectual and spiritual world is not so long or so difficult, and the mind which admits the one is preparing for the other. The conceptions have an inherent connection, a sub- stantial identity, and though it be a paradox, we may safely predict that the less will soon include the greater. Such, we believe to be the result of the growth of a liberal and enlightened college spirit, and we think its iniiuence makes decidedly for social and moral advantage. For the true conception of this spirit combines unselfishness, loyalty, enthusiasm, devotion to honorable tradi-. tions and noble ideals. Anything less is dispiriting and humiliating. We cer- tainly onght not to regard such extravagances as sometimes occur, whether from the novelty of a newly acquired independence, or from -the recklessness and prodi- gality of fun-loving youth, as a true expression of the meaning of these words. Rather are they a pardonable misinterpretation, to be modified and corrected as experience widens and character matures. Again, it is undoubtedly possible to mistake a popular caprice or prejudice for public sentiment, and likewise, a sentiment may arise within a college com- munity and be mistaken for college sentiment or spirit. The question may well be asked, then, whether a whimsical devotion to such a manifestation may not become a sacrifice of personal independence. For such mistakes in conception with their attendant blunders in action there is but one remedy-raise the tone. Apply the test contained in the inquiry: Does this question or agitation affect the general good, the college community, or is it the result of personal ambition and self-seeking? When the judgment has calmly and dispassionatelv decided, we will find college'spirit on the side of the right. Its main concern is not to uphold the embryo agitator and demagogue, nor to further the immature ambi- tions of any man or set of men, but to furnish to fairness and justice the strong and generous support of youthful sentiment and enthusiasm. There is then every ground for a firm and abiding faith in college spirit, every reason for deeming college life without it blank and void. Its power welds into a symmetrical and harmonious whole the many diversified elements consti- tuting the college community, and makes the college itself a power for progress and culture. .

The sun-dial, marred by the rav- ages of ruthless Time, marks the lapse of five fast fading years since that memorable September morn, when, amid the bustle and din of the renewal of college life, the time-worn portals of the sacred shrine of learning again, on creaking hinges, slowly unfolded, and a vast concourse of wee, small, precocious youths, pervaded with at vague uneasiness and momentary excitement, superin- ducecl by the approaching ordeal and the wonderful tales narrated of the imposing structure before them, was, by the far-famed manipulator of the pen, cere- moniously differentiated into six groups, which, under the watchful eye of high official dignitaries, were escorted into the spacious halls, made famous by glorious deeds of bygone knights, polluted by the monstrous crimes of departed rot, and hallowed by the incorporeal presence of the defunct great and the shades of learned immortals which there do nightly congregatef' and were solemnly initiated into the manifold mysteries of the vast interior. And, anon. the mandate was issued that we should depart, and we went forth deeply impressed with the goodness of the place, rejoicing as we went, for lo! the direful day, the day of days, had passed and gone, and we were college boys. In this solemn and portentous wise did we, the Naughty-twos, hoist sail and set out upon our adventurous five years, voyage. , Far back in the dim vista of the past, yet faintly discernible amid the swift- rushing tide of recollection which Hoods our mind, rises that dark and almost uneventful period of our life, our initial year, when, fettered by the shackles of immemorial custom, borne down by the unrelaxing weight of time-honored precedent, we were constrained to bow in wonted humbleness to Seniors, proud and dignified, who, drest in a little brief authority, strutted about, and to con- ceal our innate greatness from the condemnation of reigning lords. Yet, verily, undisputed possession of the field was not always theirs, for ever and anon some wondrous deed, symbolic now of our intellectual capacity, now of our physical prbwess, as ofttimes exhibited in victorious combats around the ne'er-to-be-for- 34 gotten bunstand, not only attested to our inherent abilities, but also indicated a future of exceptional brilliancy and greatness. Deeply impressed with the significance and prognostieations of our initial experiences, fast realizing the true import of the approaching strife, strong in the confidence of newly formed friendships, diminished in number by the sad departure of those so early cast upon the stormy sea of life, we lie encamped just within the outskirts of the battlefield, fraught with a thousand hidden dangers. The second year of our service, bringing its joys and pleasures, its trials and tribulations, its unsolved problems, dawns for us, prepared for the renewal of hostilities. Reimbued with hope and courage, with glorious Blue and Wfhite streaming in propitious winds, no longer recruits, but regulars in the world of strife, onward we battle our way, nearer and nearer we approach the vortex of the confiict, swell- ing the record of our victories as we go, and with hoary hand Father Time chalks up the departure of another year, and we are Sophs. Our forces divide, some enrolling themselves beneath the Homeric standard, others to contend under the leadership of Euclid, and again we resume our march. Now do the sacred walls of the temple resound with the din of the battle's roar, fast and furious is our onslaught. Round about the cherished forms of many of our comrades lie strewn upon the thorny field of learning, yet onward we press, decked with the spoils of victory, the discordant cries of Greeks intermingling with the boisterous shouts of politicians and naviators in joyful triumphant outburst. Although our ranks are now no longer graced with the presence of many former warriors, yet well-disciplined and dignified is the valiant band of Juniors, which, seeking the coveted fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, and emboldened by the prospect of greater glory than has yet been theirs, returns again to the scene of its former achievements and vicissitudes, and with ever-increasing earnestness strives toward the goal fast brightening in the distance. And now, 7llI'I'tlIJI.lC diem! we are Seniors, and the cream of college life for us is at hand. Long since in the societies, in the various fields of athletics, music and debate, has our influence been felt, our untiring zeal and devotion, our wisdom, ability and prowess been exemplified by astonishing and incomparable results. Yet, determined to crown OIII' already illustrious career by some final unsurpassable deeds, to elevate in triumph the Blue and White upon the lofty pinnacle of renown, and to cause its cliadern of fame to shine with inextinguishable brilliancy, onward we go, ever adding new laurels. Veterans now in experience, we surmount with comparative ease the remaining obstacles which beset our path. Rapidly the days Hit byg rapidly we near the close of our final year and the parting of the waysj' when last adieus must be spoken and last handshakes exchanged. Although our life has not been like unto the proverbial bed of roses, still many have been its enlivening incidents. As we stand upon the threshold of life, bidding farewell to old familiar scenes, the fond remembrance of innumerable foirtuitous and casual occurrences again steals over us, and if the words of the chronicler be true, one at least has left its ineffaceable impress upon the minds of some of my worthy coad- jutors. . 35 'Twas a wintry day. The creeping hands of our slow-ticking chronometers indicated the appointed hour, a11d once again had we come unto the sacred abode of the illustrious wielder of the telescope. VVe were just about to depart the cares and responsibilities of this terrestrial oblate spheroid to soar through the enchanting realms of the infinite interstellar space, when on the vibratory air-currents Cdraughtsj which, rushing from rattling Windows and non-heating ventilators, sent their chilly blasts in eddying gusts along our shivering vertebral columns, was wafted to our acute olfactories an indescribable odor painfully sug- gestive of that well-known product of chemical decomposition, sulphureted hydrogen. Forthwith a prolonged spell of coughing and sneezing ensued, while fantastic manipulations of handkerchiefs went merrily on. Our embryo chemists, long accustomed to the soul-stirring vapors and wholesome breezes of our labo- ratory, succeeded partially in maintaining their usual composure. One unfor- tunate, however, with a somewhat noticeable enlargement of the nasal appendage, seeking some way by which to escape the nauseating perfume, unthinkingly thrust his nose into an unused inkwell aperture. His offended member of smell having swelled with indignation he was with diiiiculty released later from his uncom- fortable position. Meanwhile our preceptor had been sniffing the air in repeated attempts to locate the scat of the disturbance, all the while threatening us with the most horrible punishments if the culprit did not disclose his identity. Finally he even went so far as to go the rounds, examining each individual desk for the pur- pose of testing the truth of his 'theory that some fellcr had cz bottle of 'volatile gas. This critical investigation failed to reveal the supposed bottle, while the tranquil look of innocence depicted upon the upturned countenances of the most refractory delinquents was so convincing as to leave him no alternative but to resume his chair on the rostrum. The breath of the harpy continued unabated. Several very sensitive youths, overcome by the increasing intensity of the odoriferous breezes, sank with a convulsive grasping of the air into a profound state of apathy. One of the fifty-seven varieties was slumbcring peacefully in the corner. Georgie was trying to force his olfactory promontory through the many folds of his handkerchief. Cooney and Bi1l,' clasped each other in a deathlike embrace, to keep from disintegrating. Jimmy, from the lofty eleva- tion of a much-scarred desk, was inhaling with a grin of relish the less noxious airiness of the ventilator, while our preceptor, with a countenance like unto one who hath partaken of those tempting morsels-college buns-lay helpless in his chair. What boots it to tell of the ensuing afternoon of awful terror, during which we wearily kept the painful vigils of the sixth period. Suffice it to say that the odor still lingered, and that no end of ingenious devices on our part succeeded in ridding us of its dread attacks. To this day the cause is as deep a mystery as ever, although report has it that one dust-begrimed Vestal virgin, in her daily rounds, having come to the astronomical observatory, had been thrown into a violent fit by the odor issuing therefrom, and on regaining consciousness had discovered a most vile smelling compound in the innermost depths of the waste- basket. 36 One dreamy summer day we were tranquilly seated in that most sublime of all chambers-the chemical lecture room-hearkening with wide-open ears to the comprehensive and animated account, descriptive of recent discoveries and enor- mous investments in chemical appliances, delivered by the renowned decoctor of obnoxious fluids and sweet nectar, who, dimly visible through the voluminous clouds of dense vapors reclined on his tilted chair amid the countless, priceless fruits of his endeavors. We were treated to a brilliant effusion upon the marvels and beauties of geology, and, incidentally, to a most interesting anecdote, illustrative of the curious freaks of sands and waters and gigantic disturbances of Nature. lntuitively fore- seeing that something exceedingly extraordinary was about to occur, we post- poned all conversation and current business and listened attentively. The Doctor again tilted his chair, and fondling his Horiginal, infallible and incomparably superior system of marking with tender QFD palm, began: Young gentlemen, many years ago, when the Mississippi was called the Yago lwe were 'all ears'l, and the extensive basin thereafter named was inhabited by Danish tribes, there was situate-d a flourishing city upon an irregularly 'circularl tract of sandy land. One night a terrible storm arose: the waters of the Mississippi became a roaring flood, and the city was rapidly being submerged. The buildings were half flooded. I had been out in my boat on a pleasure trip, and the waters were so high that I easily steered into the corridor of the hotel where I was staying. I entered my room, calmly ate my supper, steered out again and succeeded in land- ing safely. I also saw a house come lloating down that river with a billy-goat upon the roof, unconeernedly nibbling the grassy thatch. XV hen morning dawned the city had disappeared. He paused. The recollection of a recent, sudden, gigantic cave-in, the result of some subterranean disturbance, in the rear of the Doctor's sanctuary, returned to our minds with tenfold vividness, arousing such dire thoughts of what might be, that instinctively, with a sense of self-preservation instilling our bones, we prepared to decamp forever from the threatened regions. But the Doctor, with winning smile, assured us that there was no danger, and resumed his narrative: Many years had passed since that terrible night, when another storm, more violent than the Hrst, raged for two days in the same region, literally swamping the entire basin. At length the storm abated and the waters subsided. lmagine, then, the consternation of those fortunate to witness the marvel, when they beheld the submerged city, resurrected from the dead, not only its buildings, but its inhabitants, intact, and seemingly none the worse for their sudden and prolonged bath. Had he done? We sat and gasped for breath, several were in the last throes of agony, and were with difficulty revived. fa ia Q Q fa fa - Once it happened, in the days gone by, that several of our eminent scientists, desiring to obtain a conclusive and practical demonstration of the nature of the path pursued by moving CPD bodies. procured for this purpose a goodly number of large-sized marbles, commonly known as hoodies Now, most remarkable coincidence. it chaneed upon this same fateful day that some luckless disciple of 37 I Agassiz, eager to further his studies in mineralogical analysis, brought within our quiet midst-as yet unsanctified by the odious presence of such dire prodigies -a specimen, remarkable in regard to size, of those much-despised and ill-used of earthly minerals-cobbestones. Tenderly, carefully, he bore the object of his solicitude in our hourly perambulations from room to room, and although sig- nificantly portentous of impending calamity were the many strenuous attempts of Cobble,' to escape from the convulsive grasp of its stu-dious possessor, the slug- gish hours passed uneventfully by. The afternoon was waning. We were just about to begin our descent from the ethereal regions of the third floor to the gloomy depths far, far below, when the wonted silence and dignity of our august body were suddenly disturbed and our thoughts of home rudely interrupted by a most startling occurrence. There stood the embryo analyst performing the most marvelous and dexterous acrobatics in a wild endeavor to recover the priceless mineral which had slipped from his weary, nerveless grasp, and was rapidly falling toward the stairs. lt struck with an ominous and reverberating thump, paused an instant to emit the most heartrending vibrations, and then, accompanied by the gentle QFD pit-a-pat of the dancing, rolling marbles, began its a-dventurous flight down the staircase. Down, down, from tread to tread it bumped, receiving now and then an impetus from the stout shoe of some innocent CPD individual, which sent it flying onward, while louder and louder, and with increasing regu- larity, came the resounding thump to our listening ears. We had now reached the second Hoof. So keen were the auditory sensibilities of that worthy upon whom it is incumbent to maintain strict discipline and give the signal in this proximity, that he mistook the gruesome thump for the blows of a sledge-hammer in a boiler-shop nearby, and must needs straightway communicate this startling discovery to his neighbor, the ex-judge, who likewise, mistaking the clattering sound consequent upon the violent contact of an escaped hoodie with a nearby radiator for some sudden defect in its mechanism, was critically examining, on hands and knees, that much-abused article of ornamentation in a fruitless endeavor to ascertain the cause of the aforementioned clatter. Suppressing our merriment at these proceedings, the bowlder was safely guided past these vigilant CPD guards, and carried down the second flight of stairs with steadily increasing velocity. XVe had just hove within visionary range of that stern sentinel, before wlrose ghastly smile and frowning mien the good and bad alike were wont to quake, when Cobble,,' accelerated by the somewhat emphatic kick from an excited football enthusiast, bounded forward with sudden spurt, and eluding our frantic eiiorts to check its hurried flight, cleared the few remaining steps, struck the landing with a sickening thud, and while our hearts sank beneath the overwhelm- ing fear of impending doom, rolled appealingly to the very feet of the terrible personage aforementioned. Dumfounded by the totally unexpected arrival of this prodigy, stunned by the magnitude and atrocity of this unprecedented breach of all rules and regulations, his senses reeled et stctertmt comcie. One hand, from force of habit, was feebly raised as if to stay our progress, his lips moved as if to speak, Univ fcmcilms hacsit. In this brief interval we fled, overturning 38 in our precipitous flight that portly personage, Mr. Henpeck, alias Hemmick, who, alas, happened just then to be ascending the stairs, and at length we reached the outer air. Now may the most exalted Beelzebub forbid that I should recount the horrors and tortures of the succeeding days. Too awful are they even to think of. g W W U Q W W Many and many a time, after enduring the tortures of this conglo1neration- an hour's German talk by mein lieber Herr upon every topic imaginable, from toothpicks and shoestrings to the codfish industry and automobiles, interspersed with bits of Minna, Fritz, Der Neffef' following this an aerial flight through the boundless realms of clouds, nebulae and comets in an endeavor to cram statistics for some coming testg a rapid descent to earth again to hopelessly attempt to gratify the cravings of our voracious preceptor with an endless amount of that indefinable something, State 3 a lunch of unsugared bu-ns on top of this to recruit UD us for the afternoonsessiong then an hour of fear and anxiety amid the domains of infinitesimal increments, rates of change, variables, etc., and, lastly, stuffing our bewildered brains with an inconceivable quantity of literature and rhetoric-we were about to perambulate with rapid-transit-like celerity toward the much-longed-for threshold, when our fleeting steps were suddenly arrested by those oft-spoken words of terrifying admonition: Not so fast, my boy 5 wait for the signal. As the mind wanders back through the misty haze of departing years, and dwells again on bygone scenes, a thousand incidents of like import rise like mischievous elves to dispel our sombre thoughts and provoke our unre- strainable mirth. The Class of 1902 has had an unique career. The first two years of our course were spent in the old building, quarters totally unfit for the purposes of a college and unworthy of the name. Many and heartfelt were the sighs for what we thought would never be-the new building. The future looked anything but favorable 5 yet, sustained by Hope, we plodded on. No wonder then that, when the third year of our incarceration dawned, we were well-nigh overcome by -the unexpected intelligence that the new haven was in readiness. Here our exuberant spirits were somewhat dampened by the institution of those much-dreaded, nerve- racking contrivanees, exams, beneath whose blasting scourge a wholesale diminution of averages went rapidly on. Towards the close of the fourth year we were thrown into an exceedingly disagreeable state of uncertainty as to whether this year was 'to mark the close of our college life. The fears of some, the hopes of others, were finally dispelled by the announcement that we would return. And so when sweet vacation days again had flown, once more our steps we bent to our Alma Mater,'there to wrestle with an entirely new system in all the freshness and vigor of its youth. Ah, me! What scene of carnage and slaughter of averages were there consequent upon every sudden arrival of those horrible creations- tests -whereby the wrath of some outraged professor was, with much ease and intense satisfaction to himself appeased. Popular sentiment was voiced again and again in the some- 39 - what Africanized but apt expression: I detest de test. Our objections often strenu- ously exhibited by divers bold manifestations of in-dignation at the magnitude and prolixity of some of these compilations were ruled out of order, and we were forced to submit to the inevitable. Note-books were required as indis- pensable articles in our pursuit of English, while it was everywhere impressed upon us as being absolutely necessary that we retain in our craniums all hitherto studied or ponied matter, so as to be able to write the prescribed number of test- sheets whenever called upon to do so. Pencils and erasers must needs be pro- cured in alarming quantities, in consequence of which continual investments of filthy lucre our daily allowance for buns and other delectable pastries suffered exceedingly, and the bunstand officials Qbless 'emlj wept as the wonted rapid inflow of Shekels gradually diminished. Most certainly did this year furnish undeniable evidence of the unseen possibilities of college life. Certainly our career as a whole has been singular in the extreme. VVe leave behind a brilliant record. Largely through our innerving endeavors have all the organizations of the College been elevated to their present high state of excellence and prosperity. Under our able administration the number of enrolled members of the literary societies is greater than ever beforeg the societies themselves are in a very flourishing condition, and all indications are prophetic of additional laurels to be won. Several renowned athletes, alas, now departed from our ranks, have won great distinction upon the athletic held, but our chief merit in this line rests in this--the marked degree of prominence to which we have brought the Athletic Association, and the success with which we have infused a true spirit of athleticism and a warm regard for the welfare of the society itself in. the youthful breasts of those under our guidance. The most noted member of the Agassiz dwells among us. Since our advent, and through live successive years, the championship of the Chess Club has been held by one of our members. We have always been well represented in the Glee Club, where our inlluence has been productive of great good and our musical ability ofttimes demonstrated in the sensational performances of that gleeful body. Our Christmas Entertainment was both socially and financially a most gratifying success, surpassing all pre- vious productions of its kind, and will ever form the occasion of pleasant recollec- tion to those present on that enjoyable evening. Has not ours been a life of which any class might well be proud? i As in the walks of college life have your efforts been crowned with such resplendent success, may the future hold for you all, my classmates, wreaths of glory and immortelles, and may you ever have a pleasant remembrance of your Alma Mater.

There was a hotel near the railroad station, and as I expected to take an early train, I concluded to put up there without look- ing further. As I entered the office, almost the first person I saw was a portly, well-fed-looking individual whom I instantly recognized as Gus, my old friend and rival in City College chess. t'l?Iello, Gus! I cried. Wl1at are you doing here? I wish you-'d tell me where I can find the proprietor of this ranch P I'm the proprietor, he said with dignity, and this is the best hotel in the countryfi I apologized for my stupidity. He took it good-naturedly, however, and saw that I was comfortably established. After supper I invited myself into his private office to have a chat over old times. How long have you been in this business Pl' I asked, for a starter. About three years, he replied. Siegel had it before me, but he had to go lVest, so I bought him out. I'm making money, he continued, with pardonable pride. I should say so, I replied. Four dollars a day, European. Well,,' he rejoined, this is the only hotel in the place, so what are you going to do about it P Do you ever see any of the fellows P I asked, after a pause. Once in a while someone drops in,'i he replied. VVimmer comes here every now and then. I-Ieis traveling for a 'tobacco house, and the waistcoats he wears are a caution. Dunbar, who calls himself a capitalist, was here about a year ago. I-Ie says the Rev. Charles I-Iines is doing a good work in the slums of Chicago? I knew he'd succeed, said I. f'Are there any more reverends P No, he replied, unless you call Russell one. IIe's a missionary in the Fiji Islands. The old sinner cribbed his way through the divinity school and 41 managed to get his degree. He couldn't get a charge in this country, but they are not particular where he is now. I had a visit from Seally the other day. I-le and jess are getting along finely with their matrimonial bureau. They look after both sides, for they have a divorce agency in charge of Morse. Lewis was the Prohibition candidate for governor of New York at the last election. Unfor- tunately he was defeated, but he says he intends to run again next time. There are some queer people come here sometimes. A fellow who called himself Pro- fessor Sinclair sent in his card one day last week. He wanted to give me instruc- tion in hypnotism. Wlio do you think it was? Our old friend Turkey, with a long beard and side-whiskers. I-Ie looked quite fierce, I tell youf' For some time we said nothing, but watched the smoke from our cigars as it ascended in fragrant spirals. Presently Gus began again. You came by the new railroad, didn't you F he asked. I really don't know, I replied, but I do know that it felt like Baltimore cobblestonesf' He smiled at the comparison. 'Foard built that road, he continued. He is at the top in his profession. It was really not his fault about the roadbed. You see, the money gave out, and they had to use vitrified mud for ballast, instead of stone-Professor Karlinsky's invention, you know. Obi yes. Poor old Ike, he still seems to have bad luck with his experi- ments. You are not the only one who has found fault with the road,', my host resumed. 'fThere have been a number of complaints, and the company was only save-d from a long series of lawsuits by the noble efforts of Kane and Hill. Cremen also is a lawyer. I often see his speeches on the tariff in the papersf' Our conversation was interrupted at this juncture by the entrance of a cadaverous-looking individual, who introduced himself as our old classmate, George P. But what a change from the hearty, rosy-cheeked class president! VVhat on earth have you been doing to yourself, George P we exclaimed simul- taneously. Oh, I'm all right, he replied. This is only my make-up. Ilm a tragedian, you know. Our company was rehearsing a new play in our private car when the roof and walls took their departure, in other words, we were wrecked, and I have lost all my baggage. Can you lend me a piece of soap and a towel, Gus ? With these he soon transformed himself into his old self. Pretty soon the rest of the company arrived in a more or less damaged condition. I rec- ognized several old friends among them, but none of the Class of 1902. George told us that he had had his supper on the train, so we invited him to stay awhile and tell us what he knew about the fellows. We recounted our conversation to him, and Gus said: I've about finished what I have to say, suppose you take the floor, George. I-Iow's biz ?,' ' Pretty fair, said he, although I have just gotten myself out of a nasty hole. Bunny Ennis, who is now secretary of a Personal Purity Association, has seen fit to object to my using stage liquors in my plays. I-Ie and Koerner con- ducted quite a campaign against me for awhile, but I made them presents of 42 season tickets to 1ny New York theatre and they have had no further fault to Find. Pausch is also one of the profession. I sometimes meet him at the actors' conventions. Straughn is Mayor of Ellicott City. Ile adds to his income by writing verses for the Safrwday Ezfwiing Post, which, as you probably know, is now published by llrown, Smith and Clark. Pitcher is resident physician at the Detroit Insane Asylum. He says he finds his five years' experience at the City College of incalculable value in his work. Baum shines in vaudeville. Fritz runs the government fish-hatchery at Newport News. Hawkins is a crematorial artist of Podunk, N. Y. Now tell us about yourself, Charles Pl' I have not very much to say, I responded. I am at present on shore leave -I am commander of the cruiser 'lQlaltimore,' you know-so you see I have very little opportunity to pay visits. I occasionally hear from Eddie Goldman, how- ever, who is in the Ordnance Department at VVashington, and through him manage to keep track of a number of the fellows. Bernstein is head astronomer at the observatory on Pike's Peak. He has discovered about 1500 asteroids and made other valuable additions to scientific knowledge. Almy is chief of police in Boston. Callahan holds the world's record on the parallel bars, and is physical instructor in the Baltimore City College. llosley is a manipulator of the wires. VVithout him the Democratic party in Maryland would cease to exist-at least in the opinion of John K. That is about all, I thinkf' Wliat about the old professors Fl' asked Gus. Very few of our old friends are living, replied George. Professor Morgan is head of the English Department at Hopkins. The others, those who are living, have all migrated to other cities, and I have lost track of themf' VVhen did the Doctor die P I asked. - He never did die,', said George. That is, nobody ever saw him do it. You see, the old gentleman kept getting thinner and thinner every year. At last one day he left the school to return to his home, but never arrived there, and nobody knows what became of him. It is believed, however, that the centrifugal force hurled him out into space. If so, he will have a good opportunity to investigate the ether theory. Speaking of theories, interrupted Gus, do you remember that beautiful theory of Doc's, that all City College students are infants and too young to be allowed to think for themselves ? We all remembered this and many other pleasant jests of the kindly old man, whowas always so ready to encourage a student, and who, nevertheless, was so misunderstood and imposed upon by our class.

NCB again the Class of 1903 requests your patience while it recounts its glorious exploits in the years that are passed and gone. When Father Time shall have drawn from his wallet another year and given it to Mother Earth, the Class of 1903 shall have presented itself to the world, an object of envy to its prede- cessors and a noble criterion for future generations which shall take their solitary way through the hallowed corridors of our glorious Alma Mater. In previous records, we have told you of our entrance into college, of our organization as ,a class, and how, mounted on the Pegasus of learning, we over- came the chimera exams, and sailed through skies of blissful success. W'ith- out allusion to these things, we will pass to what has occurred since last we met. Witli our entrance into college as juniors, there has come about a change. Instead of the old system, by which each student was compelled to study every- thing in the curriculum, the school is now run on the go-as-you-please plan. At present each student studies what he likes, and what he likes is generally that which requires the least effort. But in spite of the difficulties under which we labor, the Class of 1903 is as glorious a class as any that has ever gone through the College. We can translate Xenophon into English at sight Quia- the cribj 3 we can speak French as fluently as a native Qsicj g in German we are tip-top. We have taken a journey through the Harz Mountains, have seen several ghosts at Venice, and are now singing several Deutsch Lieder. We are also practicing for some German plays-our more effeminate members taking the female parts. We have so thoroughly ha11zmc1'ed out the elements of analytics that we can clinch any question even before our preceptor has finished reading it. In athletics our class standsespecially prominent, having gained many bril- liant victories. Our cultivated voices constitute another accomplishment, and our sweet singers of Israel, as Professor G. F.. M. is pleased to call them, are no small factor in the Glee Club. Anyone passing through out hat-room can hear the tones of Bingo, which, wafted on the midday air, jar the ears of our dear Faculty. In oratory we lead the school. In the recent Mock Trial, both lawyers of the defense were 1903 men, who, by their brilliant eloquence, freed the pseudo- demoiselle, the prisoner, and completely captivated the fair young ladies that were present. I Our class has also had the honor of introducing into the College an entirely new feature-a class feed. This was held during our Christmas vacation, and was a howling success. Speeches and singing were other features of the occasion which will long be remembered by the Flottc B1H'C1Lf?1ll of 1903. Such is the history of our glorious class. It has been said that the past is remorse, the present anxiety, and the future despair. The victories and failures i 45 of our past are but an example whereby we overcome the responsibilities of the present and strive after the high ideals of the future. Thus the Class of 1903, bearing aloft its banner of royal purple and gold, sails on victoriously, leaving in its wake a record unsurpassed in great achievements. X Lo, when a great man dies, For years beyond his ken, The light he leaves behind him Shines upon the paths of men. I-IISTORIAN. ' l l . sett - - ..l' ' , itil fla t Q V 1 '-t tl,-.

Wisusrlciz, - Sergeant-at-,firms There is not much history connected with our first year, as we were too timid and too much overpowered by the looks of our tutors to be venturesome. How- ever, before the end of the year, we gained enough courage to call a class meeting and elect a committee to see about class-pins. After the design had been decided upon, the committee began to get the names of those who wished pins, but, they secured only about iifty or sixty names, Great anxiety reigned among those who had subscribed. All kept asking, Have the pins come yet P And when they did arrive, they were so conspicuous, that the members of the higher classes called them tombstones. Nothing more remains to be said except that the societies and clubs received a large portion of our members during the year. The second year of our class began in 1900 with a much smaller membership, a great many having dropped out since the close of the first year in june. VVe started this year the same as we did in the first year. The boys had come to dislike 4 7 ' the pins gotten in ,QQ and they wanted new ones. A new design was ordered and received, and as some retained the old pins, the Class of ,O4 is now represented by two different emblems. Several events occurred during this year, which might be mentioned here. One of the members d1'ew with a member of the graduating class for the cliampionship in the Annual Chess Tourney. Another event shows the literary talent of this class. A medal had been offered to the one who should write the best essay on Edgar Allan Poe. This medal was won by the ,O4 class. On our return in September, IQOI, we had an entirely new system of study. The course had been changed from live to four years, and our class escaped the advantage of this change by one year. The second year was made to graduate at the same time as the third year, and, as it was necessary to distinguish the second from the third class, we accordingly attached Senior to IQO4, making our appellation 1904 Sr. We did not like the change, but under the circumstances we could not do anything, and so we were obliged to keep silent. The hat craze, started by the '02 class, now took our attention, and a class meeting was called. Art this convention new officers were elected and the design for the hat adopted. After our hats arrived, the lower classes began to follow suit, but the hat of 1904 Sr. is the loudest of them all. Not being the Class Prophet, I cannot go farther than I can reach, and as I have reached as far as I can, I will here close the History of the Class of IQO4 Sr. I-IISTORIAN. uv P sf in ,J T1 48 1 lla' 7 'NX lik, I f Mfg? f Wa. l if Ai' 'fd 'ii ,. ri' 'C - - s vu !p:,:-,, 5 lj Nfl: , fy ,I we V,'. , , .. t V A j page 2, ,, ' ' .71 . - ,ff, f,, vm, ' 'het M , ' ,,ff::g21'z.

W1cr.l.s, fllzzsml On the Monday morning' of September 17, 1900, three hundred somhre-faced youths, fresh from their summer vacation, assembled in the recreation hall of the llaltimore City College, and g'athered in groups to dieuss their new surroundings. But soon they were divided into six equal classes, and ceremoniously packed od? to their respective class-rooms, where they enjoyed several instructive lectures on How a Gentleman Should Act, 'l'he Seven Deadly Sins, as Set Forth in the Laws of the ll. C. C.,H and other suhjects of more or less import. They were then sent home: the iirst-and to them the most important-day of our College life was ended. For a week or so, we lingered on the shore of indecision, unwilling to trust our frail bark in the uncertain sea of learning' which lay hefore ns: hut in time 49 our courage returned, and we launched boldly forth upon the unknown waters. For about two months we all made excellent progress, and felt very much encour- aged, but with the first signs of adverse winds, the faint-hearted gave up in despair. Those of us who remained were indeed sorely troubled, and were caught in the treacherous currents of Algebra, Geometry, Physics, and Latin, and borne swiftly along only to be washed high upon examination reeff, Working night and day, many of us succeeded in getting o-ur boats afloat, but several less for- tunate perished in the attempt. Vacation Island loomed up in the distance, which we soon reached. Here we spent a blissful three months, far from the cities and the ways of men, but Too soon the summer sun is on the waneg The harvest moon hangs nightly in the sky: September, bringing school, is here again, To ope the languid student's sleeping eye. Returning to our labors, fewer, sadder, and wiser for our experience, we again struggled through the waters of learningg again we wrestle with the adverse wintdsg but now we are more able to resist the forces that would destroy us- we are Freshmen. Since entering the College, the Class of 1904 Jr. has played a very important part in the work of this institution. In the class-room, on the athletic field, and as members of the several College societies, its worthy repre- sentatives have inspired all by their excellence, and stamped the class as being the most aggressive and enthusiastic that has graced the annals of the Baltimore City College for many years. It was with sincere regret that we heard late in October of the death of our friend, Clarence A. Emichg and to his relatives and friends we offer, as class- mates of the deceased. our heartfelt sympathy in their sudden bereavement. And now, dear reader, before we take our leave, allow us to present, Infantes Scholae.

TINSLEY, All progress is directed by ideals. Nothing can attain its highest possible development unless the highest is ever held in view toward which it may grow. To neglect this truth, is not only to retard progress, but to start a retrograde movement, which will end in total failure and disruption. The Bancroft Literary Association is a progressive society. From small beginnings, it has gradually expanded and improved, until now it has reached that stage of development where it is unexcelled by any similar organization south of the Mason and Dixon line. Today its membership exceeds that of any other society in the Baltimore City College, with the exception of the Athletic Asso- ciation. -The weekly debates have become the subject of remark. Interest has reached Hoodtide. Never before in the history of the sooiety has such deeornm been observed, or so much earnest, energetic effort been put forth. . 52 How, then, do we account for this remarkable prosperity? The answer is that throughout the many vicissitudes of the Bancroft Association, it has ever had one ideal and has worked toward it. Its primary object has been, and ever will be, to make citizens-thinking, conservative citizens-citizens, in the highest and best sense of the word. For results, we have only to point to the great number of distinguished men which are recorded in the roll of the Alumni of the society published last year. To the citizen of this nation, there is nothing so useful as the power to express his thoughts and feelings clearly, forcefully and fluently. Ralph Wal-clo Emerson has said, If there ever was a country where eloquence is a power, it is the United States. Is it not worth the ambition of every generous youth to train and arm his mind to serve such a constituency ? The duty of a good citizen does not consist in thinking and acting for himself alone, he must help others to do likewise. To do this, he must be able both to persuade and 'to convince. This power can be gained only by constant and thoughtful practice. To assist its members in doing this is the great object of the Bancroft Literary Association. Elocutionists and ranters have been relegated to the background, and the efforts of the members from the day of their admission until the time of graduation, are constantly directed toward plain, simple, but effective public speaking. The Bancroft has learned many lessons from the past. Several years ago extempore speaking was made one of the principal divisions of the regular pro- gram. It is undeniable that exercise in impromptu addresses was a fairly good training: but it was soon discovered that the slow, halting delivery, thus acquired, became so much a habit that often members could not drop it on set speeches. Those who did acquire some facility in this form of discourse, went to the other extreme, and had they been allowed to continue, would soon have become the rivals of the Consolidated Gas Company. Declamation is still encouraged, but not so much as formerly. Our object now is to present prepared dissertations in such form as to appear spontaneous, and yet be free from many of the unpleasant features of off-hand talking. In this way we cultivate the greatest attribute of man-oratory. Last January, the Bancroft celebrated its twenty-sixth anniversary. It has made great progress, yet it has been of the steady, conservative kind. To move onward is useless, unless some object is in view. Its constitution has been fre- quently revised, but the changes have been few and well considered, so -that in spirit it is nearly the' same as the first that was framed. Every year we meet our sister society-the Carrollton-Wight, in a literary contest for two medals offered by Prof. John F. Arthur, to the winners in debate and declamation, respectively. We are now preparing for another struggle in June and the next time we write we expect to report one more addition to our long list of victories. 53 E N gp 1 . - xxx y xg!! . N ' or as ' .... .

I-IEISE, Assz's!anz'Sccrela1y LEo liARr.INsKv, '02, Sergeau!-ai-Arms Ever since the founding of the City College there has been a literary society of one kind or another. After various evolutions there appeared the Bancroft Society as the chief exponent of culture in the College. This society was the 77ZUg7VLHlL l1lLf707'7-ill!! for four years and stood alone in its strength. Then there was a change. Mr. VVight, the incumbent of the English department, thought that, as competition is the soul of trade, the organization of a rival society would stimulate the boys to their best efforts. He further promoted the interests of the societies by offering two medals-one for excellence in declamation, the other for skill in debate. These medals were to be given to the winners in a public contest between representatives of each society. Thus the Carrollton had its inception. It received its name from that noble son of Maryland, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and Linder the good direction and kindly advice which Professor Wight gave to the boys its growth was rapid and brilliant. It soon became the power of the school and its influence for good has been felt for many years. 54 In 1897 the school suffered an ineffable loss in the death of Professor Wight. This blow was especially felt by the Carrollton which had long known his guid- ing hand and manly counsels. I-Ie left honored and respected by all with whom he ever came in contact. In grateful appreciation of the many benefits derived from the efforts of Professor Wiglit, the society changed its name to the Carrollton-WightLiterary Society and any member of the society may, with a glance at the name, recognize another monument left by that friend Hgone but not forgottenf, Mr. Arthur, the present incumbent, generously continued the offering of the two medals. and every year when the societies come together there is enjoyment indeed. As a further stimulus Professor Morgan has offered a medal to the liter- ary societies for the best essay on an assigned topic. The Carrollton-VVight record has been a fine one. It has won a number of medals offered by Professors Wight and Arthur. The work of the winners has been of the highest order, as was necessary in order to defeat our sister society. Professor Morganis medals have all been won by Carrollton-W'ight men, which shows that the essay training of these successful men in the society room has been of inestimable advantage and profit. In past years GREEN BAG editors have been largely taken from Carrollton-Wight men onaccount of their training and literary acumen. Most of the histrionic aspirants have been recruited from Carrollton ranks. In everything the society has been a factor for the betterment of social and literary activity in the school. A testimonial of the fact that the memory of the society livesafter former members have severed connections with the school is evinced by the Reunion Association. Old society men are met everywhere, everyone holding a position of honor and trust and always ready to clasp the hand of a Carrollton man. For the benefit of those unacquainted with the societies, let us examine the various points of interest about the Carrollton and incidentally to show the inherent advantages of membership in a literary society. The society has for its purpose the realization on the part of its members of those benefits to be derived from exercises in debate and elocution, the promotion of said members in general literary culture, an-d their familiarization with par- liamentary usagesf' ' The members meet every Friday afternoon and the meetings form a useful relaxation from the toils of school. The members meet for social as well as for literary purposes and the greatest intimacy and confidence exist. Aftera short selection from the scriptures the critic takes the floor and renders an honest and impartial criticism of the work done at the previous meetingg he encourages some and sharply scores others so that they will come up to the standard of excellence which the tra-ditions of the Carrollton demand. The declaimers next have a chance and those who are girding their loins for the final struggle and those, less ambitious as yet, render declamations always of a high order. The declamation is always a feature of the meeting. 55 The extemporaneous speaking is the hardest demand upon the membersg subjects taken from various important current events Cincluding sometimes sub- jects on the Facultyj are laid before the speakers and they must speak upon them. The excellent training to be derived from this is unquestioned. The debate is the head which att1'acts most attention. The men are prepared to say what they think about the subject and to say it manfully, too. While others are speaking, men are taking notes and calling up their stores of knowledge in defense of or opposition to this or that pointg everything is excitementg every point is brought outg the subject turned inside out until everyone is exhausted with the mental warfare. VVhen at last adjournment comes the members go home to medi- tate on what they have learned in a few brief hours-far more than they could have gleaned from a dozen books. The society extends a cordial invitation to all students to join and proiit thereby. A ' 41 f- ffai-, E Wk., V- I . xx, Q I ' 1 Xi f x M , f 1 J J '1,, T . I 56 Che N Contest. 'suing 1 HE evening of the contest the foyer of the Opera House was crowded with fair maidens and delighted escorts. College and class colors fluttered galore. Within sat a patient and expectant audience, gazing blanlcly at the band chairs and wondering what could be detaining that dignified and care- dispelling body. Perhaps it was just as well, for we all know its total incapa- bility to compete with that hilarious multitude which occupies the gallery. When the curtain rose the buzz of conversation and Flutter of programs ceased and all became silent to hear the sonorous tones of the master of cere- monies. A deep-voiced disciple of Cicero came forward and extolled the glori- ous aims of the literary societies and apologized beforehand for any possible Hhitchesi' that might occur in the proceedings. It was apparent that his atten- tion was not wholly on his audience. While speaking he seemed deeply interested in some one in the right wing, and as he paused in his discourse, possibly for oratorical effect, he 'istage-walked', in that direction and there received the needed inspiration to allow him to proceed. When he had bowed himself ofif the declaimers came on. A round of applause from enthusiastic friends greeted each as he appeared. Their polished work attested the enormous amount of labor spent in preparation. Michel Strogoff was introduced to us in a masterly way, and the deliberate and sympathetic manner in which his char- acter was portrayed will ever linger with us. The most difficult of poetical selections, The Bells, was rendered with all the variations of intonation which characterize the several chimes so' ingeniously described by Poe. That famous depiction entitled The Natural Bridgeu is always a favorite with us. This part of the program was closed with a pathetic selection called 'iThe Second Trial. The Class of 1902 was well represented by two of the four aspirants for elocu- 57 tionary decorations. The pros and cons of woman suffrage were next discussed: a subject of major interest to the ladies. An especially amusing feature was the fateful chicken story that the gentleman on the affirmative would have used to illustrate his argument, but, unfortunately, the presiding officer rapped time, and to this day we have cudgeled our brains to find some suitable climax for that didactic The play-Foote's celebrated comedy, The Liar - was superb. The Contest Committee had been reluctant ,PVQWXV-. M' v, ' tale. ses fy? to adopt the drama, owing to the possibility that they Tfihei---'-JVNTI - ,.- s r might not discover a Thespian with the necessary experi- f . . , if l ence in prevarication to play the leading part. When L W1 ff' one was secured with the desirable qualification, the way l X E he upheld his reputation would make Ananias turn in his cA' - grave. His imagination was consummate. He blatantly deceived his father, his friends, and even his crafty French valet, who was per- fectly familiar with his master's poetic talents. But Nemesis came at last. He was exposed, scorned and abandoned in the very hour when he believed himself triumphant. Old Wilding, the indulgent and proud father of this scapegoat, was a typi- cal English gentleman, boastful of his illustrious stock, easily angered and more easily appeased, 12 la Raddaiz, ever dignified, magnanimous and deferential toward women, and a strict upholder of his own high code of honor. The first victim of young Wilding, Sir James Elliott, was in love with Miss Grantham, the fair heroine of the story. Papillon was the true comedy role, and provoked much mirth by the dexterity with which he rescued his mendacious master from his many embarrassing situations. Miss Grantham at first appears as a gay T and giddy woman of fashion. . She falls quite in V.. v '91 2 love with the bold assurance of young Wilcliiig, M and seems to have quite capitulated to him, but when she discovers the inanity of her admi- Q' iff, rer's fabrications, proves more than a match for l ,fd his audacity and reveals her true character.

Staid and acetic, she was horrified at the ' ' innocent coquetry of her merry friend and com- ,-J,,,, 432' . .. panion. The scenes presented made beautiful pictures. The date of the action was about 1760, and the graceful airs, embroidered costumes and powdered wigs transported us, so that we breathed again the atmosphere that surrounded fash- ionable society of that day. . 53 1.

CoR1ual.L M iss Evlx Nlxum, J. FRAN Cl s Clusm EN Mock Crial. 34 HE annual joint Mock Trial of the two literary societies took place Friday, November 29, 1901. The large Assembly Hall of the College was filled to overflowing with members of the school and their friends. The stage was tastefully draped with the intertwined colors of the societies-red and white for the Bancroft, pink and green for the Carrollton-VVight-while the numerous gas burners placed at wide intervals along the walls gave that soft, mellow light usual in the dramatic portions of the modern play, but which, under the circum- stances, was ghastly, to say the least. A more attractive feature was the array of High School girls, who occupied the front rows on either side. Their lively interest in the proceedings and their considerate applause whenever a hit was made, aided the speakers not a little. The case was one brimful of interest. An old gentleman is found dead under suspicious circumstances. His granddaughter is indicted and placed on trial for her life. Additional weight is given to the charges in the testimony of the ser- vant, who relates the particulars of a family quarrel in which the accused was overheard to threaten the deceased. Numerous other details tend to confirm the suspicion of the young woman's guilt. J. Frank Cremen opened the case for the State. He outlined the charges and in other particulars modeled his speech after the ordinary State's Attorney's. The witnesses for the State were then called and directly examined by Mr. Cremen's colleague, Charles M. Falconer. They were cross-examined by David S. Blond- heim of IQO3. Mr. Blondheimls colleague and classmate, Henry W. Snyder, then presented the defense, after which the witnesses for that side were put on the stand. . Humorous incidents were not wanting. The colored servant with his gro- tesque attire and strictly original dialect, the detective who graduated at the Johns Hopkins University before it was founded, and the physician who got a little mixed on professional points, all furnished amusement and made the monotony more endurable. As the hour was growing late, the closing speeches were made as brief as possible. All the lawyers spoke, each side summing up its case and presenting its arguments just as in a real trial. The court then instructed the jury and dis- missed them for deliberation. Before they could leave the room, however, several court officers filed upon the stage, half dragging, half supporting the limp form 60 of Dr, Sinclair, the most important witness for the State, and upon whose 'testi- mony, if upon any, the prisoner would have been convicted. This gentleman, who was no other than our old friend Albert, though outwardly of the greatest virtue, was in reality the dastardly perpetrator of the crime. To settle an old grudge he had caused the prisoner to unknowingly poison her grandfather, trust- ing to his reputation and to circumstantial evidence to shield him from suspicion. But at the last moment his .nerve failed him, so that he took his own life. Even in the hour of death, however, his characteristic unsellishness displayed itself. Aware that the young lawyers were deeply interested in the result of their first case, he delayed his departure until the speeches were concluded. Then at a given signal, he made his dramatic entry described above. Under the circum- stances, the jury was, of course, bound to render a verdict of acquittal, which they did in record-breaking time. Those who took part in the trial were :-Albert D. Rittenhouse, '02, George P. Shamer, '02, Archibald Scally, '02, Nathan P. Pitcher, '02, Leo Karlinsky, '02, Gustav H. Woltereclc, '02, Emanuel Daniel, '03, Emanuel Zies, '03, Joseph Hoffman, '03, Joseph Singewald, '03, Lee Newhoff, '04, Harold H. Straus, '04 Karl Singewald, '04, Chas. F. Lustenauer, '04, VVilbur C.

SCITMIDT, '03 ln 1875 a little school under the direction of Mr. Harlan H. .Ballard founded the first Agassiz Association in Lenox, Massachusetts. For two or three years it modestly continued in its pleasant and profitable work. But after a time it became more venturesome and determined to inaugurate a great national body after the model of a Switzerland natural history society. With the help of the St. Nicholas, a general invitation was published in 1880. The response was most gratifying and hopeful. Chapters were formed in colleges, schools and towns. Since that time more than twenty thousand students have become members, and today many of the most prominent scientists ofthe world are on its roll. The Baltimore City College Chapter, known as Chapter 233 fab, was organ- ized in T889 by a few enthusiastic students, and through the help of Professor Philip I-I. Friese soon became a flourishing body. All the charter members and nearly all its past members have become noteworthy in the scientific world. The society prospered until the abandonment of the old City College Building, when, through all the long years of wandering, the association barely held together. In the autumn of 1899 a room was given the society in the new City College Build- ing, and with it came a decided boom. This year the constitution was revised and provision made for a course of study. For a whole year the association possessed only a bare room containing a few chairs. During the summer of 1900, through the labors of Messrs. john A. Addison, Hugh A. Hackett and Arthur V. Foarcl, the room was furnished with cabinets and tables arranged according to plans submitted by the above committee. Now the society has a line set of cabi- nets, with places to store all kinds of natural curiosities, as well as conveniences for dissection and microscopic studies. A rigid course is prescribed for members during their first year in the asso- ciation. At the expiration of this time they are free to choose whatever subject they wish for investigation. Each year the members can compete for a micro- scope which is offered annually by Professor lfriese to the person who writes the best essay on some scientific subject, provided the CliSCOll1'SC is founded upon the competitor's personal observations. Also, a co1lector's outfit has been promised by a graduate for the best note-book on a member's work during the year. it LS 1 4?

GRIESSI'1'1',,O3 Prominent among the many directions in which the social life of the College is active is that of the Glee Club. Begun some years ago through the efforts of Prof. Charles F. Raddatz, it still remains one of our principal societies, in spite of the vicissitudes through which it has recently passed, and bids fair so to remain in the future. In years past the greatest difficulty of the Glee Club has been to secure a per- manent and efficient leader. During its first few years Professor Raddatz essayed to direct our singers until he was able to obtain the services of Mr. Deemsp Under the able instruction of the latter the society flourished for some years, singing with great credit at the College Commencements that occurred during the time he was connected with it. It seemed then as if the greatest obstacle to our growth had been overcome. ' i But we were destined to he disappointed. Mr. Deems resigned in February, 19oI, and as there was no one to take his place at the time, we were temporarily 65 disbanded. Towards the close of the year, however, President Soper exerted himself in our behalf, and as a consequence Mrs. Dohme undertook to prepare us for the Commencement at the end of the school year. She, however, did not have time enough at her disposal, and as a result our singing was a failure. Recently the School Board assigned Miss Place, the present superintendent of musical instruction in public schools, to take up the task laid down by Mr. Deems. VVould it be too much for us to look forward to a future as pro-sperous as has been our past? Many enjoyable hours have been spent in the meetings of the Glee Club, nor were they without their humorous side. It was amusing to hear forty voices mur- mur a moonlit love-song with all the expression they were capable of putting into it, and next vociferate foaftissiwzo, Saw my leg off-short! while Mr. Deems innocently puts in, make that last word short. Gften we would hear of such mistakes of the High School Pupils as misapprehending tl1e sign p to mean pitch in, the music being sung accordingly. We have endeavored to lighten the somewhat monotonous program of the commencement exercises by our songs with some success. So, with our best wishes for its future, let us close by giving our heartiest support and encouragement to the Glee Club. 54 , EX .-I 'fs 1 t A .lf Vi 35 ,. ,p w Wil, 'S lg , ii I i f -ZX iii 4' in i' 'V ilftlfifzzlyl ..,- M- , .

F.x1.cvoN1c1e, 1902 The Baltimore City College Chess Club was founded in T897. Since that time, it has successfully, conducted five tournaments, has played a number of match games in the city, and has carried on several correspondence games with out-of- town clubs. lin both match and correspondence games, it has shown up well and the last one resulted in a victory for the College. The club always enjoyed a large membership and prominence among the chess clubs of Baltimore. its present high standing is due to the energetic work of the College players. During the first four years of its existence, they received practically no outside encourage- ment, an-d had it not been for the earnest efforts of the members, the club would perhaps have been snowed under. ' Some encouragement, in the way of two prizes, has been given the men this year. Mr. Hugh A. Hackett has generously offered to give a gold medal to this 67 year's champion, and also to the leader of each subsequent tournament. The second prize in the fifth tournament, a pocket chess set, has been donated by our honorary president, Mr. John A. Addison. The thanks of the club are extended to both these gentlemen for their generosity. A Now, that electric lights are being installed in the building, we hope soon to be able to play games and to hold matches with other clubs in our own room. As nearly all chess players are unable to play in the afternoon and as hitherto light was wanting, a challenge could never be issued for a match to take place in the room of the Baltimore City College Chess Club. This will, however, soon be possible. Now, a word or two about the Alumni. As graduation makes it impossible for the club to retain its strong players, an alumni association was formed in 1900. We can now select a team from the City College Chess Club and its Alumni, that is able to hold its own against any club in the city. 1 No class, since the founding of the Chess Club, has had such chess masters as the Class of 1902 numbers among its members. The three leaders are all of 'the Senior Class, the two leaders both last and the year before were 1902 men. Ben- jamin A. Bernstein, 1902, has been champion of every tournament Clive in num- berj that the club has conducted. In all five tourneys, Bernstein has lost only three games and drawn two, a great record. The standing of the first ten men in this season's tourney is as follows: Won. Lost. g Pct. Benjamin A. Bernstein, IQO2, 142 M .967 Charles M. Falconer, IQO2, I3M 116 .900 Gustav H.

FRANK CRIQMEN Many important events have happened during this year and not the least of them was the formation of the B. C. C. Photographic Club. For quite a while there has been an effort to start a society of this kind and its successful culmination is a source of pleasure. As yet the members have not done much, but when the club gets stronger much good work is expected. The purpose of the club is 'tto foster the best inter- est of photography among the students of the school. The members meet every VVednesday in Mr. Friese's room. Mr. Friese has kindly allowed the use of his very fine dark room. Q It is proposed to take pictures of beautiful places around Baltimore. Once a month a literary meeting is held at which literature pertaining to photography is read and discussions of photographic topics are held. The society extends a cordial welcome to all students of the school not only those who have cameras but also those who are interested in photography. 70 press Club. Officers.

EDWIN I'IEA'1'll The Press Club is the centre about which City College life revolves. Every- thing that takes place originates with this dictatorial bodyg it revives dead insti- tutions and creates new onesg boosts this affair and censures thatg it can tickle the vanity of the most staicl or prove the most diabolical of establishments as the exigencies of time or space demand. When there is any danger of college affairs becoming inert, an impulse from the Press Club is always forthcoming. Many movements have received such an impetus that they soon acquired sufficient' momentum to carry them along ever afterward. The editors, in placing this after all the society articles, unconsciously admit that it is the power behind the throne. Although some of these organizations were inaugurated without the conjunction of the representatives of the press, they, nevertheless, owe much of their prosperity to the able advertising and steady sup- port they have received in the columns of the daily newspapers. Most often the Press Club is actuated by other than disinterested motives yet their efforts redound to the glory of the College. The City College owes much of its Varsity dignity to the quick perception and resourcefulness of this energetic body. Johns Hopkins plays lacrosse, ergo, the City College revives lacrosse. Our Art Club followed close upon the institu- tion of the Yale an-d Harvard clubs. The universities of the country publish a year book and we have the GREEN BAG. The Press Club is the smallest and most exclusive of all the College organi- zations. lts members are selected by the editors of the daily papers. They must be enterprising to obtain their places, energetic to retain them, and imaginative to make them pay. The full membership is 4 1-46,-the fraction is allowed for the representative of the Mash Market world. The members of the club wear no badgeg their password, which is far from secret, is: Anything doing? They 7I have no secret grip, but a rapid shake by the nape of the neck has been found effec- tive. Their meetings are held at all times and' in all places. Their motto is, Stand together and clon't scoop ! The ubiquitous members of the Press Club are known and revered by every one at the College. They are foremost in supporting' all incipient enterprises. Nothing can be organized oflicially at the College without their consent and appro- val. They hold unlimited sway over all clubs. Their word is law. Ambitious youths, when seeking offices, see the Press Club first. The l-'ress men control class politics-their own and those of all other classes. Aspirants for athletic honors are always condescending when they wish to be immortalized in the news- papers as the most promising candidate for some team, or a valuable acquisi- tion to some club, or even as an also competed. Captains and managers of teams are unusually responsive when they have expectations that an item will begin, HTlll'Ollg'll the energetic eHorts of Mr.- etc. liven the Faculty cringes before these heartless journalists. The Press Club is always laconic when there are no space considerations, so the fllllllflff' writer will stop. No panegyric is necessary to impress the wise with the importance of the club. Perhaps this article is not sufficient to persuade the foolish. But tl1e astute know the Press Club is the dominant force in the Balti- more City College. I BY ONE or T1-LEM. I.

ROPER, Serqgvarzl-al-Arms Athletics should undoubtedly be the centre of interest in all college lifeg its welfare should be the concern of each and every loyal student 3 its success should be his greatest desire. He should identify himself with it, gaining strength as it gains in vigor. Not that he should neglect liis scholastic duties, or permit athletics to consu-me all his energiesg but, whether he be interested in an active Way, or passively looks on, he should give athletics his earnest support. Wliat student of any of those famous universities which are the boast of our great repub- lic, does not feel his- heart beat with pride at a victory for his colors or think defeat a bitter dose? Almost the entire student body attends the contests that take place' on their own campus, and a large part often go to expense in order to wave their flag on foreign ground. As the graduates pass out of the school, many leave behind a token to the Athletic Association to foster that spirit of athleticism which they yvish to encourage. If in these great universities, where places are so vigorously contested, this spirit is so firmly imbedded, why cannot we, who should be just as proud of our little Alma Mater, strive to make our teams as strong comparatively, and each and every student endeavor to aid athletics in our school by giving it every assist- ance in his power? Let the stu-dents awake to the fact that their support is needed and required, let the professors give some attention to instilling this vital force in the minds of the junior students, and the College will become stronger and stronger,-the natural outcome of a true patriotic feeling. The body, as well as the mind, should be trained for the struggles of this world. Every student should devote part of each day to the development of his physical as well as mental powers. It is true that all are required to spend two hours ' 74 each week in the College gymnasium, but the result from this kind of exercise differs markedly from the benefits derived from a contest. The former does little more than mechanically enlarge the muscles and strengthen the body, while the latter develops the student mentally as well as physically. The ability to think quickly, to rely on oneself, to make proper moves or foresee failure, these and many other benefits are the ripe fruit of competitive athletics. Uutside clubs, with far better facilities for training have been a great drain upon the small aggregation of good athletes at our school. But to a certain degree, they lack that strong bond of patriotism, which, when it is fully aroused, will cause tl1e students to value more highly the honor of representing the College in its games. VVhen requested to play, a good athlete would often reply that he was already connected with some other club. This forced public school teams to be composed of players who were not students of the schoolg but the City College has become infused with the law of strictly bona-fide men. and this principle must and will hold sway. Interest has been slowly but surely gaining in vigor, each year showing a remarkable increase in the membership of the Athletic Asso- ciation. This organization has become the strongest in the College. May it continue to thrive, may it become so identified with the school, that every student will enroll himself among its members. To foster athletics is to foster a spirit of patriotism. and this has been the earnest wish and object of the Class of 1902. May success attend every effort of the Baltimore City College Athletic Association. , i t 9 . 41'i'q'fi -fl f M S s l. l' . li ' i i X X f 'cr' 'f'fLf' ll- --.1'.g.:'..'s . .

However, the scribe to whom has fallen the honor of recounting' the deeds of the advocates of this branch of athletics will not follow this procedure. VVe are not at all inclined to give reasons why'the banner of the City College was not borne to victory on this or that field.. Rather, a story is to be recounted which should cause the throat of the worthy collegian to swell with that tense emotion which only finds relief in the welkin-shaking Rickety-rex. The gallant eleven that bore the name of our school had one distinction the best team ever yet put forth has lacked,-it was made up of bona-fide City College students. VVhat honor was it to the school that it should win a paltry game or so, when some of its champions were innocent of any connection with the institu- tion whatever? This year, under some inspiration,-possibly derived from the truer spirit of athleticism that the gymnasium has fostered,--it was decided to allow none but students attending' the College to play. The result was we were beaten nearly every time. Ay, we were, but it was City College football we turned out, not an article savoring of the P. and S. or the College of Dental Surgery. VVe were up against it good and hard in the shape of two of the teams we met,--Mt. St, joseph and Tome Institute. Both were out of our class, while the game with Dunham we lost on a fluke kick. Yet our record is something to be proud of. Hampcred as we were, we scored against the Marston team,' when anyone aware of our circumstances would have expected us to be sl1ut out most ingloriously. Our boys secured a coach about the middle of the season, after it , 76 seemed that the City College was fated never again to see the eagle perch upon its football standard. Witli the strenuous efforts of Mr. VVhitehurst, our men downed the Polytechnic in a superbly fought game by 5 to o. Franklin Univer- sity also went to destruction, and the hearts of the faithful few who shivered through the games of the season were cheered. All the players worked with snap and vim. Witli scientific coaching and a good start, the boys should next fall turn out the best team that has ever graced the initials of the QU. C. C. The recital of what happened has been brought to a close, but the pleasant duty of according merited honor to the rooters, and those who came to our aid in the critical moments remains. The thin red line which graced the City Col- lege side of most fields on which we went down to defeat or grasped the palms of victory gave the men that patriotic hope which enabled them to stick to it, and eventually to come out on top.

' Q t ,W 3 Say HE call for candidates for a team in the City College is always responded to enthusiastically by the students. But what a disappointment is in store for the manager! Scarcely a week elapses before the interest begins to lag. At first the boys do their work faithfully, but soon they begin to come to practice late. and later they do not come at all, offering any of the innumerable excuses of which a boy's ingenuity is capable. Finally, when the players are chosen, the team is forgotten and baseball interest is a thing of the past. The unfortunate candi- dates think they have done their duty in answering the call and as to the rest of the school-well occasionally they remember that a team exists but most of the time they live in blissful ignorance. There are a few rooters, it is true, who en- courage the boys to put forth their best efforts, but the number is small. And yet, the entire blame should not rest on the shoulders of the College. For if the other and graver fault were corrected the one,-a lack of loyaltyaand college spirit,-would cease to be. The members of the team certainly do not light with that vigor and determination that characterizes the work of victorious teams. Such half-hearted spirit would not be tolerated in other colleges, and why should the City College do so? Each boy should be made to feel proud of the position he holds and should show his appreciation by energetic and spirited activity, and should play every game as though he expected to win, and the laurel was within his reach. ' The most promising array of candidates that have appeared in years were on hand at the first practice game this season. After considerable trouble and deliberation, a team was chosen of which there is every indication to believe that it is a strong one. Now, why should it not be a success? It -will be if those who attend the City College because they wish to, would realize that they would have all the more love for the College if the athletes were encouraged, and if those 78 who attend tlirough compulsion would only realize that by adding a little sugar to their medicine, the dose would be more pleasant to take. These two classes of students-the voluntary and involuntary-compose the College, so to every student the GIQICISN BAG says, It is up to you. L. Edwin Goldman, Captain and Manager, r. f. John D.

As a number of the ball players were members of the football eleven, which prevented their giving attention to indoor games, the interclass league was postponed. However, games were played in the yard every day until the cold weather interfered, and the Senior Class easily proved its superiority. . The reverses met with by the College team were due not to lack of mate- rial in the school, but to the fact that the teams opposed were the best in the city. As soon as lights are placed in the gymnasium and the team can practice there, base-running, the only weak point, will undoubtedly be improved, It is due to our having no place to play home games, that the College team was debarred from the city league. But next season the boys can hope for better conditions. Our first game, played with Central Y. M. C. A., drew a crowd five hundred strong to root for the teams, the larger portion of which wore City College colors. The rooters gained a victory, even if the.ir team was unsuccessful. Edward M.

WVhen a notice was posted on our bulletin board calling on all members of the Athletic Associa- tion who wished to try for the regular Basketball team to meet in the gym, such a number of enthusiastic students put in an appearance, that the difficulty became, not to pick the good men, but to choose the best. This rather delicate matter settled, practice began at once. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, the aspiring members could be seen jumping about after the ball, following it as a dog chases a cat, and linding themselves very much in each other's way. One member had a clever trick of suddenly humping himself when he had the ball, to the great detriment of the other players, who even yet have not gotten on to it. After this state of affairs had been going on about a month, there came a challenge from the lfriends School. The game came oh? at the Friends gymnasium, and the College boys showed their training and practice by defeating them with the score of 24 to 4. This success ca1nc to the ears of the Marston team, which immediately desired a game. This contest was played before a highly appreciative audience, made up mostly of college boys lined up around the rail of Marston's gym, It was a well-fought struggle, and it was only by the quicker play and faster movements of the City College team that victory settled finally upon us. Score 21 to 17. The Basketball team of this season has, indeed, done well, as was attested by the How of challenges setting in toward the College, and should be remembered as one of the most successful teams for some years back.

The court laid off in the campus was abandoned and a racket came to be a curiosity about the school. The revival of this branch of sport at the Baltimore City College must be credited to the loyalty which induced Mr. Robb to offer a prize for the champions in a general tennis tourney. The entries this year have been more numerous than ever before, and every day the courts at Druid Hill Park are crowded with enthusiasts practic- ing for the coming struggle. The outlook for the Class of I902 is most promis- ing, and if this anticle did not go to press so soon, we are sure we could record upon this page a glorious victory for the Seniors. It is mos-t gratifying to notice the sudden boom which this interesting game has taken, and the way in which it is now preferred above other less valuable sponts. It is to be hoped the new material which has just entered the school, will take up the campaign soon to be laid down by the graduates, and make the tennis tourna- ment an annual event. 82 I.-W.

Especially is this appa- rent when it comes to writing a description of that most -l.....,, important event of the winter, the Christmas Enter- tainment. But this duty becomes, in the course of its performance a pleasure, and it shall be our privilege to voice the sentiments of all connected with it when we say that from beginning to end in every way, our play was a great and glorious success. Rehearsals began rather late, but when the parts had been assigned and some idea gained of the trend of the play, preparations began in earnest for the time when our efforts were to reach their consumination. Most of the rehearsals took place in the Assembly I-lall of the College, and although each player conscien- tiously did his best when his turn came, there was no lack of fun between cues. Criticisms were invited, nay imploredg and such requests were usually granted with amazing frankness and the results accepted with charming grace. Indeed, one of the boys thought it shameful he was not criticised more by his fellow-men -and girls,-he seemed to think he had missed part of what was due him. One of the most pleasant features was the triumph of good feeling among the players. Indeed it seems a pity that such good friends as some of us have become should separate when summer comes again. Maybe we shall not. Besides, there is one more play to follow, and the best we can wish it is that it equal its pre- decessor. I ' Can we soon forget those last rehearsals at the Lyceum, when, while Net- tletop,-iu long overcoat with collar turned high around his ears, was' making desperate love to his fair, false one, a crowd of kindred spirits gathered in a neighboring box and held high carnival till silenced temporarily by quiet in that box !', in Mr. Gardner's stentorian tones? Sometimes a diversion was created by an unexpected but unmistakable tangle in the lines, and while the unusually good- natured manager raved, the players recovered their equanimity and the lost chord, and harmony was once more restored. The fun reached the climax, when lglobby appeared in her dainty CPD costume. Poor Bobby! Exit! yelled Mr. Gard- 83 ner. Bobby made for the window. 'KNO ! roared the manager, the door. This time it was the fireplace that suffered from Bobby's rattled onslaught. Finally, with considerable help from convulsed fellow-players, he reached a place of safety, while someone fanned Mr. Gardner. The boys in overcoats and our Hpretty maidensl' -I in walking costumes went carefully over their WW IX parts at last, and when every line had been correctly expressed and the imaginary cur- izf M tain had descended, the players adjourned till next day, when the real curtain was to be ,. rung up on a far different scene. A Rgif' fi! f On the afternoon of the twenty-seventh, if when the lively audience assembled in the gal- 4' X . . lerles had yelled themselves hoarse and their f friends and admirers in the auditorium deaf, by the highly artistic and ingenious combi- nation of words and sounds belonging to each class, the curtain ascended upon tl1e first scene of our play, and the opening lines, This must be my destination, were spoken by Dick Heartley. Raymond looked dashingg the touch of color in his cheeks was very becoming. Poor Nettletop had evidently been dipped in Hour, and made a melancholy invalid- in direct contrast to merry, fun-loving Frank Cremen. The story of his unal- tered love for his divorced wife, Mrs. Nettletop, otherwise MisstM. Jessie Mclienney, formed an interesting plot within the more important one ' furnished by the adventures of Atalanta and Dick I-leartley, for whom the course of true love cer- tainly did not run smooth. Indeed there was an astonishing amount of love in the play after all. While it must be admitted that the boys were rather cool lovers, we must remember their limited CPD experience in such matters, and what has more weight in this instance, that tl1e eyes of the irrev- erent and irrepressible gallery gods were upon them. The doctors were the most astonishing collection of the medical genius it has ever been our good fortune to see. Apparently all nations and several races were in some way represented. Foard was evidently a native of the Fiji Islands, and must have lost his voice upon that memorable occasion when he also ran. They say that wig was his own propertyg in fact, that it grew there. Woiicler who curled it? VVl1ere were the police, that he arrived unmolested at the theatre? Perhaps his friends persuaded him to come in a closed carriage.

DCITU' X 'T gave us a fair idea of what his appearance will be twenty years hence. judging from the length of the words which he rolled out in ponderous style, his name should have been Maximum. And that frightful noise in the wings! Wliat was it? Only a conversation between Sir E Abel Hotspur and his faithful old servant Doody. There was a craning of necks Cwe will not use the popular expressionj, pf and a gray-haired young man appeared, trundled in invalid chair by a red-haired son of Erin. Yes, that young, old man was Edwin Goldman, but the disguise was effectual. And that polite and considerate retainer with the broad, green accent was indeed George P. Shamer. Well, no won- der his own mother did not know him. Ugly? VVell,I should say so in that make- Z Q Q Q Q 49 up, but from the first sound of altercation in the wings that heralded the approach of the inseparable pair till the curtain fell, there was fun enough for all. Mr. Shamer's part had great possibilities, which were so well fulfilled that George P will probably be known hereafter by the well-earned and highly appropriate name of Doody.,' Edward VVimmer made a handsome, dashing Mr. Sprawly. It was largely due to that mustache. lt is a shame he cannot wear it all the time. His attitude, as he proposed to Lady Nettletop, was striking, and showed careful study. Miss Edna Correll, who interpreted the title role, Atalanta, played with her usual charm and success, winning well-merited 'f fi X A rounds of applause. She and Dick Heartley g Q showed the possibilities for happiness that lie in the old, old story of love in a cottage. 7X7 Poor Raymond! Those envious gallery gods were insuppressible. Never mind, , NX you acted admirably, and no one sus- gi Dected from your breathless entrance in the last act that the race had not been if over a greater distance than from wings I .-i ,,f2flQ1f'E. to stage. Miss Edith Hughes made a de- lightful Lady Selina Raflleticket. In fact, 31,3 the boys agree that the ladies were a most interesting part of the play, and they ought to fe' cg inn know. Indeed, the intercourse among mem- bers of the cast has been one of the most pleasant features of the winter, and it is the unanimous wish of all concerned that the friendships thus formed shall last. At any rate, we shall not forget 'fAtalan'ta. 85 After the play the class assembled on the stage and the curtain rose' for the last time. Some moments were spent in those outlets for 'mf suppressed energy--class yells-and in receiv- ff I ing congratulations. Those weeks of prepara- M tion had not been in vain, for the success of the ' ' ' tx play surpassed our highest expectations. ' ' .1 lx The Class of IQO2 made a worthy innova- ,X tion in the form of a souvenir program. The X 1 l' ,p N cover was of rough paper and was embossed .4 'flip with the class emblem. The inside pages con- , tained the cast, the changes of scenes and the ffff' f m' l C , Q' 8 names of the committees. The whole, thanks to the kind assistance of the ladies, was tastefully bound together by blue rib- bon, this combination making up the class colors, blue and white. The animal entertainments reflect great credit upon the institution that fos- ters them, and deserve the hearty support and encouragement of every patriotic citizen of Baltimore. The Christmas Entertainment Committee feel a great obligation to the mem- bers of the Junior Class who so kindly assisted Mr. Edwards in his duty as usher.

I made haste en put the kittels away in the spring-house, en made fer the house ter brush up a bit. While I wuz shinin' my gaters, my ole woman come in, en looked mighty quar at me through them specs a' hern, en sez she, Wl1a1' in th, land yer g'oin', Brewster? I ain't see'd yer shine yer boots since th' fair. V I'm goin' ter tek a hollerday en pain-t th' town red. You go slow thar in th, city. You know yer failin's. Yer chuck full o' Ole Harry, en when yer 'het up' yer like ez not ter raise Cain. I guess this yer chicken ken tek keer o' hisse'f about ez well ez th, next one. I ain t no greeny! VVuzn't many minutes afore them engine-cars was whizzin' me away ter town. My, they did Hy! They went mighty nigh ez fast ez my Nell-thet thar's my mare-could a' tuk me. 89 Wlieii I got off thet car, 1ny head wuz buzzin like -thet ole saw-mill up th' creek, but I wuz ez spry ez a young banty, en I went up ter a cop, en axt him ef thar wuz a lively show in town. He to-le me ter follow thet street up en cu-t thet car-tracks across, en mighty nigh th' next corner, that wuz the theayter. I linely found th' place and went up ter a feller peepin' through a hole, like hit the nigger at the fair, en axt him ter gimme a chair jam up agin th' band. How much does one of 'em fetch ? sez I. Seventy-live cents, he yelled out. Gol darn! 'I'het's more'n 'em hens of m,ine'll fetch in a week, but I spec I'll hev ter cough up. T'har's nothin' else doin' in town, I rattled out, en then I tuk out my bag eni fired th' dough' in through th' hole, en, a. blue ticket came shootin' out. I wuzn't gonna tek th' thing, fer I don't like 'em things nohowg but thet feller what gev it ter me, told me ter gev it ter thet feller over thar. I didn't know what thet thar feller with a high collar wanted it fer, but he peered mighty innercent en I gev it ter him en shoved in. Th' fust thing I het up agin wuz a kid with some sort o' pamflets. I didn't want none of 'em, fer I hain't got no use fer them things nohowg but he peered so innercent, jest like 'Tad-thet tha.r's my chap--thet I tuk one to cheer him up. My, thet thing wuz purty! It hed blue ribbins on it, en th' hansomest gold pin I ever seed. 'Deed 'twar jest like Melissy's-thet's my ole woman-only a heap hansomer. I-Ieeh! heeh! heeh! them kids, what were runnin' up en down th' theayter must o' thought thet I wuz a greeny sure, fer one of 'em yelped somethin' in my year en grabbed my ticket en went shootin' down th' aisle. But yer ought ter seen me pikin' after himg en I mighty nigh caught him, too, but he switched around, en sez, thar's yer seat, mister, en gev me back my ticket. Wall yer ought ter seen me lookin' at 'im. I sot down right off en begun ter peerin' at what wuz round me. My, but thet wuz a bang-up gang! Makes no diff' whar I peered, them ole eyes o' mine struck a purty gal. Thar sartinly wuz a mess of 'em. Over yonder wuz a hull bunch of 'em the purtiest I've seed sen-ce I got ter liken 'em kind o' things, sence Melissy en I wuz eourtin'. Shiver my skins if they wuzn't beauts! Wall, While I wuz peerin' at them gals, th' band struck a tune, en it fer sartin did start them clods 0' mine goin', en they never stopped neither till I clomped down on the feller next ter me's toe, en he looked like he wuz goin' ter biff me one, when all of a sudden th' curtain rose up. Thar wuzn't no time for scrappin' then, fer a feller come rushin' in on the stage, with a yaller satchel en started ter talk ter a chap with white face en black hair what wuz leanin' up agin th' fence en what looked like he hed a good home en he left. I-Ie wuz tryin' ter play off sick, but he fergot ter grunt once or twice. I axt my partner-you know thet feller, what got sore at me-who he wuz, en he tole me ter luk on thet thing en I'd see fer meself-he meant thet suvynear Q0 what I got from thet kid at th' door. I-Iis name wuz Nettletopg en no wonder he got thet name, fer he spun about like as if he wuz on nettles. Then you know thet other chap? Why, in a few minutes a gal came spurtin' on th' stage, en no sooner en they had spied each other, they began to court. But you ought ter seed 'em at it. Ef Malissy en me never loved better'n 'em two did, we'd never o' tied up. But I guess they did it so much, thet both of 'em were tired,-thet's th' way with kids. She wuz a dicky gal all right, I wish I'd a been him. Then thar wuz another purty gal in th' show, en her feller wuz a dead sport. But he went ter kiss her once, heah! heah! heah! en his mistache came near falling off in her lap. She sartin'y did give thet other feller o' hern Jessie- thet feller what made out he wuz sick, Nettletop yer know. While these wuz fussin' 'bout th' sta.ge, an Irishman come in, shovin' an ole man in one of 'em tricycle vans what paralicks go round in. I don't know what wuz th' matter with him-I mean the ole man, but he had a wig ez white ez my ole leg-horn, en I'll dash my skins ef his face ever seed ez much a beard ez th' top o' parson's head. Gee-whdz! thet Irislnnan what wheeled him wuz funny, blast my punkins, ef he wuzn't. The fus-t thing he sed, set th' people cacklin' en they kep it up till he went out. I thought I would bust fer shore, when he fished out a hold, jest like thet one 0' mine, yer know, en begun ter puff away, en it made him sick ez yer ever seed. I-Ie wuz so pale thet he looked like he wuz afraid his dad would see him-heah! heah! heah! You ought ter seed his wig. I bet his head never freeze. By gad! I come mighty nigh ferge'ttin'. Thar wuz another gal in th' show, what wuz in love with thet feller Sprawley,-you know thet sport. I tuk her ter have better sense, but I spec I ain't no good jedge along them lines. jest about this time th' curtain fell down, en they got it up agin, en thar wuz four doctors, sittin' round a table drinkin'. Gol darn, ef I'd o' ever know'd they wuz doctors ef I hadn't a seed it on the pamliet. They didn't do nothin' much,-I didn't seed what they wuz thai' fer anyhow. Thar wuz several more names ont the pamflet but I ain't seed 'cm on. th' stage yet. I spec they wuz lookers-on. just before th' show shut up thet feller Sprawley-thet sport what mighty nigh lost his mistash, yer know-come pikin' on th' stage en jumped in ter bed, heah! heah! h.eah !-en he must o' upsot th' candel, or somethin' else, fer it tuk fire behind th' bedstid en blazed way up. Snakes-alive! but I wuz skeered, en I wuz a great mind a-makin' fer th' door, but a feller peered 1'OL1l'lCl th' corner wid a hose. I ain't see'd no water yitg but he'd no sooner teched it en th' fire wuz out-jest like put a nickel-in-th'-slot, at the fair. Them people, what wuz actin' must o' tuk a grudge agin me fer shore, fer jest follerin' this yer fire a sarvant o' one of 'em gals come ,out on th' stage en began ter sweep it off. It needed it fer sartin', fer I've carried mighty nigh a peck o' it in my eye-Hap, fer safe-keepin', ever sence. Right after 'at, thet consarn curtain fell down agin, en all at once th' band struck up an I never heared sech yellin' en hollerin' sence I wuz made. I peered QI about ter see what wuz takin' place, en thar wuz ev'rybody making fer th' door en up in the gall'ry wuz a gang o' kids, in short britches, jumpin' like thet young colt o' mine. I'd never seed sech things before, en I tuk en axt a feller what ailed 'em kids up 'air, en he tole me thet they wuz ye1lin'. I knowed thet before, sez I, but -I aint seed thet kid since, I thought mebbe they'd got th' curtin up by this time, but it wuzn't, en I gessed th' show wuz over, en so I shoved through th' gang en made fer th' depot, fer thar waren't much time left. I-Iowsomever tliet wuz a gud show en I wuz corkin sorry thar wuzn't any more ter go to. When I got home, I tuk en tole Melissy all about it, 'cept I didn't tell 'er what 'I gev ter get in.

Professor Alphonse Leon Milles was born in the southern part of France, at or near Hyeres, about the year 1829. l-le received a thorough education, and, after graduating from the University of Paris, he took up the study of law, in which he was graduated. About 1856 he came to America. For considerable time he was engaged in mercantile work and was an accountant in a large copper smelt- ing company. In 1871 he began his career as a teacher in the Bal- timore City College, when he was elected to the chair of lirench and Latin i11 that institution. ln this position he continued until his death on December 29, IQOI, fron1 an attack of heart failure. Of him, 'President Soper remarks: Prof, Millcs was of a modest and retiring disposition, but to those who knew him well he was a cultured gentleman and a delightful companion. He had a wide acquaintance with literature, both of his own country and that of others. His tastes also inclined to music and art. He was a man of high character and sterling integrity, and added to that a man of charity. For many years he was connected with the French Benevolent Society, acting as its president. ln the most careful and painstaking way, he discharged every duty devolviug upon him. He left the impress of his dignity, character and teaching upon hundreds of his pupils. i 93 TII1 '1LOViI'lQ 'lR6I1l6mbl'ElI1CC of wut Gllassmate Itlflllllam Ilbcdiurbg Evomg Eieb 33l'll1HIZQ 25 1901 :lfarewell bear trienb a sub farewell IDBI ill OUP b68l7t5 f0l'6V6l' shall U02 IIICIUOYQ cberisbeb D6 I I I Q 1 v y Ubougb we must part from tbee, 94 'I '--Q, ... w Q ,tj .9 me 529 M? a 'Nfl RE CITY COLL GE ON THE ROAD TO KNOWLEDGE, su-r ,f , k X' .Vg EY , ,Q X . 1 , R 1 ' .0 . ,r ,X 1. 5 ff I f -:gn Ein?-mil . gH -A fir'-' , die,-:fff 11 ,Af-f' ,- , 7,11 4 If I 34 f' f '!f ' X 1 H ,Lk 4469? f ' W .

Yet, though the battle be not tame, With lessons she has taught We'1l climb the slippery pole to fame, With thousand dangers fraugh .

This is a tale of beginnings, O Best Beloved. In the new days, when the New City College was equipped with New Furniture and New Proper Sur- roundings ancl New Everything, except a New Faculty, then, O Best Beloved, New Things began to happen. Now in this Epoch of our History, the Great and Mighty High Potential of the Second Degree was a Big Man. He had Very Pronounced Opinions upon All Subjects, and he was not at all averse to stating them. He also had a Propensity. Now, in the First Place, O, Best Beloved, you must understand what a Propensity is. According to the'Law of Indeterminate Prefixes, a Propensity is a Thing Analogous to a Punching-Bag, which hangs before the Mental Organ of Vision of the Proud and Happy Possessor, and must frequently be exercised, Well, the Great and Mighty High Potential of the Second Degree's Propensity was a Keen Delight in shouting at Bad Little Boys, in order to Strike Terror into their Pericardiums. So far, so good. You will, no doubt, be wondering by this time, what, the- High Iinks-the G. M. H. P. S. Dfs Propensity had to do with the fire in the Laboratory. We are coming to that. In the Meantime let us visit the Department of Chemistry itself. There is a Long Table in the room, also Some Benches. There are, besides, Some Boys on the benches, and a Professor behind the table. There is a heap of Glassware on the table. 'There is Something in the Glassware, toog but I do not know What it is. Per- haps I Ought to Know, but I Have Never Been Taught. The'Professor has a Match in his Hand. The Match is Lighted. The Professor is going to Make an Experi- ment. The Door is Open. The G. M. H. P. S. D. is 98 in the Room Across the Way. He is talking about Peter the Great. He also Exercises his Propensity from time to time. ALL AT ONCE, he Exercises his Propensity with Unaccustomed Vociferousness. It is while the Professor is holding the Lighted Match in his hand. Lighted Matches are Dangerous, O Best Beloved. This Lighted Match falls from the hand of the Professor at the Sound of the G. M. H. P. S. D.'s Unaccustomedly Vociferous Exercise of his Propensity. Let us Observe Accurately and Express Cogently the Result. It falls into the Something in the Glassware. Then there is Something in the Room which Was Not There Before. It is FIRE. It soon goes out. The Pro- fessor is Glad. It Illustrates the Necessity for Proper Precautions in a Large Laboratory. It also gives him an Opportunity to Illustrate what would be done if the Building were to Take Eire. We would Look in the Catalogue for Hose, Rubber. We would go to the Attic Store Room and get the Hose, Rubber. We would Bring it Downstairs. We would then Find a Water Spigot, with thc Aid of the Catalogue, and attach the Hose, Rubber. We would then, and Not Till Then, Point the Nozzle towards the Laboratory, and Turn the Wfater on. Thus the Beautiful Furniture would be Saved from Destruction. All this we do now, so as to see if the Hose, Rubber is in Working Order. The water Hows and the Beautiful Furniture is Saved from Destruction.

Chronicles of Repos the King. F Cwelftb Book. CHAPTER XIV. k-'Q I. Verily had it been a day of great re- joicing among the tribe of Senites. Many were the praises offered up by Rayco, the high-priest. 2. For truly hadwe beaten the Sophites, heathen men from the East country. And lo, it came to pass on the morrow, that we were in the presence of one Ezekiel, son of Zollikoffer. 3. Now this Ezekiel is an hairy man, who telleth strange things called jokes. In sooth, while we were rejoicing in spirit, there stood before us, as in a vision, the high and mighty Repos, son of Jozabad, the chief Doeg of all the tribes. 4. Now there sat upon his face a frown, the like of which we had seen before and knew for an abomination, And he opened up his mouth and there came forth a great sound, and he spake unto us, saying: 5. Wherefore now, are ye corrupt in the flesh? Why did ye this thing of yesterday? For it has come to mine ears that ye did set upon the Sophites and did unto them griev- ous things. Then did 'he swear a great oath that he would put our names in the Book of Offenses. , 6. But then, there came from aniong us a loud noise, even as the noise when one putteth the bug on the test-giversg and one among us, a fearless man. arose and, spake, saying unto him: IOI 7. O thou high and mighty Repos! Know ye that the Sophites did stand afar off and cry: Come forth into battle, ye mighty men of Sen! Zela! Zela! 8 And then, when we did not come forth, they did laugh a great laugh and smote themselves on the thigh. Thrice did they do this, and then they sat upon us with a great shout. -9. And lo, it came to pass, in the twinkling of an eye, we sent them back whence they came, Yea, many were the marks we left upon them, and few were they without them. Then did he that had spoken sit down. Io. Now did the great Repos chide us sharply, and left us in great doubt and fear to go among the Sophites to ask certain questions of them. CHAPTER XV. 1. Now it came to pass, that on the morrow, we were before the face of the chief Doeg, the high and mighty Repos, who looked even as one who hath eaten of a sour grape. 2. And lo, his lips moved, and a voice came from within him, and he spake unto us and said: 3. During the tenth hour I did sojourn among the Sophitesg and at that time I did inquire privily of them and am sufhced that ye were set upon violently. 4. But why walk ye not in the way of the righteous man, who giveth way before the man of force, for verily, I say unto you, ye are my chosen tribe. Yea, ye have been the pride of my heart in days past. Now have ye departed from my teachings. 5. But if ye so desired, many are the ways in that ye might help me in my work among the heathen children of the Freshites, and the lesser ones, the Sub-Freshites. 6. Now, choose ye from among you certain men, twelve in number, strong in body, then will ye send them unto the heathen, yea, even to the uttermost parts of the open space where they do congre- gate. 7. Then, verily, would ye scatter among them seeds of kindness, which, finding good soil, would take root and bring forth fruit. Do ye this and ye will make my heart glad and my face to shine upon you. 8. Go ye among them that dash them- selves against one another, among them that gather up that which was wrapped about that which they do eat, and make fire of it and burn incense unto Baal and follow gods that they know not. 9. Preach unto them what they should do and what they should eschew. Give unto them the fruits of your experience, so that the land may flow with milk and honey and be blessed. IO. Be not like the foolish men, who hearken not to my voice and incline not their ears, but stiffen their necks. 11. For verily, I say unto you, if ye do not this which I ask, then will I cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out your brethren before you. 12. Then the voice stopped and we stood as one amazed and knew not which way to turn from the fear which was in our hearts. 123 ,oil ,fi- ., . im I l 3 f W9 A, I f , y '9 Q I 'E fi ,1 X'AJ7 'xxw ER H Page from the Book of fate.

Plenty, was the reply, and the odd mixture of pipes, stogies and cigarette butts immediately betook itself to the smoke-house, so-called because it was liere the City College received its weekly curing. This collection constituted the order known as the Beelzebubs, -having for its object the promotion of the smoke nuisance, free lunches, bugology an-d divers diabolical doings. PUTTING THE BUG. Often mistaken for an athletic expression, but if you are unable to disasso- ciate this term from athletics, forget not that in this form of exercise Beelze holds the record. Smoke up! ejaculated the Pittsburg Stogief' and the Uncle Willie gave vent to several puffs and regularly put and put aain, that everybody put the Bug on everybody else that did not like Bugs. The other Stogies brightened up and puffed their assent 3 ah, they do love the Bug, the only puff of dissent coming from a New Recruit, who wished further information on the question of the Bug. The Bugologists nearly choked to think that any living Stogie had never heard of the 106 . Bug. The Pittsburg Stogie begged leave of Beelzebub to forever settle the ques- tion ofthe Bug. You may have seen lady bugs, land bugs, water bugs, and the like, he said, but you never have seen, and never shall see, the Bug of Beelzebub. He is a phantom Bug, to be heard and not seeng his essential quality is rough-house, he must contain a goodly number of peculiar noises, and know when to emit them. This Bug lies when he doesn't tell the truth, and he was never known to do either. Many times, broke in the Virginia Brightf, have I heard this Bug draw forth orations that would have knocked out Cicero in Five lines without the use of a crib. It was once reported that one preceptor had captured the legs of the Bug and another his whiskers, and that they tried to fit the whiskers on the legs and it wouldn't work. In the meantime the Bug serve-d his purpose, recuperated, and, as I am now ready to assert, is ready to be administered in the same old dose -d la Bug. WHO SAID EAT? Beelzebub loves chicken Emu' better than he docs grace, quoth a fat little Pipe-stem, and he begged Beelzebub to let him relate the free-lunch raid of a pre- vious noon that they might all be ready with suggestions for another. Thus he spoke: When the grub-counter was besieged by the motley crew, crying out for custards, turnovers and buns, and the bun-man smiled as the shekels rolled in, then did the forces of Beelzebub smile as the cakes rolled out without the neces- sary deposit of ducats. 'Let's eat,' was the password, an-d who can deny it was a'good one. They did eat, for one rather hungry day the amount donated to Beelze would have fed all the animals in the Zoo-two dozen cakes, a sandwich, four turnovers, a cup of coffee, six dozen pies, twelve silver spoons, two plates, a sugar shaker and a pie pan. The next day the bun-stand went into the hands of the receiver. Beelzebub smoked in silence at this recital, and licked his chops while waiting for the report of the Dirty Dozen. TI-IE DIRTY DOZEN. These reported favorably or unfavorably on the doings of the 'cWise Menjf and recommended that the Bu-g be administered accordingly. In this dozen there were a half dozen Greeks and six Barbarians. Greek Sfogicf' number one, reported that the laboratory was still in the same place and the only casualty was a burnt finger. The next reported that the supply of Astronomy Exams was exhausted, and Lord help Beelze! Number three said the best prayer he could offer for those who had not received deficiency cards was, Heaven bless St. Patrick and all shake hands, for the name of such a recipient was surely Dennis. Reports followed that one of the Wise Men became bald scratching his head for ideas, and that two of the Beelzes were now treasurers of different societies, and if one more could be enrolled, they could smoke free of cost the rest of their lives. H 107 SMOK Y-M OKES. Smoky-Mokes or cloudy talk usually Filled the smoke-house during the wind- up of the smoker. All -stray HSf1HIlf7S,H especially invited, were at this time fumigated wiith the choicest brands and allowed to sing l4loch der Kaiser, Bully for the Dutch, to the tune of Maryland Club and Navy Plug forever. As the Stogies began to diminish in size, thc Grand Mogul admonished the lesser lights on the ztclvisabiility of disseminating themselves so as not to be picked up by that worthy named Mr. Henpeckf' who is extremely fond of a free smoke or anything else that is free. Beelzehub's pipe went out and no one is any wiser. Here's looking at you, and seeing you and doing you. BEELZEBUH. O i,4v, v, f fffg ke h. 'H ft. b MM , 6, 1 A la! 'ill A-I-Y- 1:6 I08 'Cbe Siege of Croy. If Agamemnon felt very much discouraged at the way the siege of Troy was going. u Our lack of progress, he declared, is due to our peculiar formation of the genitive case. A No, said Nestor, it's because we use the aorist indicative so much in comparisons. Well,', exclaimed sulky Achilles, we've been here ten years, and if the College professors ha.ven't material enough for their grammars by this time, I won't make any more long-winded speeches in the optative mood. u The situation was certainly exasperating. The Greeks had consented to remain before Troy no longer than was necessary to establish the correct conju- gation of the verb in all its moods and tenses, and to revise, in some degree, the inflections of the other parts of speech. But the Trojans were too wily for them, and by a dexterous manipulation of the oblique cases of the third personal pro- noun fwhen ecliticj, and by putting a noun in apposition after every demon- strative article, and by other I-lomeric devices, had so protracted the siege that it threatened to be in full swing long after the boys had com-e up from the pre- paratory schools for the entrance examinations of the universities. There was also jealousy among the heroes, who accused one another of playing to the classical scholars in speeches designed for quotation in grammars and lexicons. The climax came when Chryseis, daughter of a priest of Apollo, had been captured on one of tl1e marauding expeditions of the Greeks, and given to Agamemnon. The captive's aged father came into camp, bearing the fillets of Apollo as his oflicial insignia, and begged to be allowed to make a speech. This request was granted, but the old priest left all his second aorist subjunctives uncontractcd in the passive, whereupon Achilles washed his hands of Greek. I-le was a man of imperative mood and active voice. Singular person, commented Nestor. hlhfhat have the troops had this morning P Participles, replied Agamemnon. They declined them Hrstf' 91 I hear some complaint about the verbf, said Nestor, and I don't wonder. lt opens out like a telescope, and then breaks up into little pieces. lVhen you ICQ l put it together, there is always a particle left that you don't know what to do with. Shy it at the Trojans, suggested Agarnemnon. Can't lay hold of it, replied Nestor. It has a liquid stem. I am afraid, said Agamemnon, that we'll never get through with this Trojan siege unless we use a pony. A pony ! f'Yes, a pony. Donlt you know what a pony is ? UNO!! A handy literal translation. VVe'll'trick the Trojans with it. The device proved tremendously successful. The pony was a wooden affair, and the Trojans took it for a horse. So did the City College professor, whose classes always finish the siege of Troy with the surreptitious use of a pony-a wooden one at that. ,A . .L ' kj igv l' 'jg ..,A il D in l no MEMORIAM H 'Cale of a Crib. F Should you ask me who the hero Of this little episode is, With all frankness I would tell you, fn the words of Rudyard Kipling, That is quite another story. It was in the bleak December, QWell my memory recalls itj When the snow was on the pavements And the mercury descending, So that people walked more briskly, As they trod the icy pavements. At the City College Building Lessons for the day were over, And the students were departing From the premises devoutly, As demands tl1e regulation 3 All save those unlucky members Of the graduating class who Had not yet completed drawing Beautiful designs of dwellings. From his room the old professor Of the classical department Had dismissed his class of Freshmen, And had carefully observed them As they hurriedly descended. When they reached the second story He relinquished his position, And with due deliberation Trod the hallway, slowly, calmlyg Half a hundred paces westward Brought him to the art department, Where tl1e would-be architects were. As he gazes in the doorway, Straight he sees a little volume, In its paper cover resting, On a table in the foreground. Something in his inmost being III H H H H Leaped within him when he saw it. Seizing it he bore it swiftly To a window in the hallway. Turning to the title page, he Saw the following inscription : Handy Literal Translation, Interlinear Aeneid. Ha l unto himself he mutters, I have caught another cribberf' While he still is meditating On the course to be adopted, Suddenly there comes the owner Of that precious little volume. Says he, If you're Finished with i I should like you to return it. This request is promptly granted, And the student turns to leave him But his course is interrupted By the old professor saying, You are doing wrong in using Handy Literal Translations 3' How am I to know you have not Cheatcd in the tests I give you ? You can find out by comparing My examination papers With the volume in your book-case. This the student says, excited By the force of circumstances. But the old professor kindly Takes no notice of the answer, Knowing that he has the whip-hand Of the student through the virtue Of the sombre colored volume, Where are entered the demerits That accrue to the unruly. Then he gives his verdict thusly : You may go now, but be careful Not to use such in the future, For I shall descend quite heavy On the next one I detect. wld II2 'Cbe City College Student. as I sha.ll endeavor to treat in brief the various changes in life and character which the average student of the Baltimore City College undergoes from the time of his entrance into -the institution to the time of his graduation. In the first stage of his career, at this institution, we have the infant-small, innocent, quiet, ignorant. You see him early in the morning Qabout one hour before school opensj running cheerfully to sch-ool, his books dangling at the end of a strap that is thrown across his sho-ulder. You will sec him pointing respect- fully at a second-year student and whispering to his class-mate: You see him? He is a Freshman! Wlieiievei' he meets any of the College Faculty on the street, he will bow and raise his hat in a most respectful manner Qeven if he must drop books, lunch or umbrella in order to free his hands for making this sign of humilityj. In the school yard you- can recognize him by his usual and favorite occupation-that of playing catchers, with his brothers in infancy. You can always distinguish him by his youthul knickerbockers and a considerable piece of green in his eye. After undergoing a whole year's training at this nursery, as it were, he passes into the second stage of his scholastic life. The green in his eye is beginning to disappear, and he catches a glimpse of man+hood'l in the far distance. I-Iis inno- cence also begins to fade away, and in its place the light of blissful and wicked knowledge sheds its brilliant rays upon the dark corners of his mind. He knows how to use the crib very skilfully, and he can recite a lesson without having previously prepared it by the aid of his growing imagination. He begins to enter into -the College organizations, and on the platform of the literary societies he begins to put into practice the excellent theories of which he became master in the English department. In a word, the infant begins to talk, and he can already say Papa and Mamma The third stage takes him into new researches of knowledge. He begins to comprehend the beauties of chemistry, the magnificence of the Egyptian Pharaohs, and the intricacies of mathematics. 'He now takes an active part in college affairs, instead of being simply a spectator. I-Ie now looks back with pleasure at the two years of preparation through which the first half of his college life has been passed, but his pleasure is moderated by the prospect of confinement for two more long years. . II3 Amidst such pleasant dreams of the past, and unpleasant contemplations of the immediate future, our hero passes into his fourth stage. His life is now closely connected with that of the Seniors, he assumes the dignity of a Junior, He forgets the time when he began to ascend the Five-rounded ladder, so high that he could hardly see the top. Now that once seemingly inaccessible summit is almost reached. Standing there at that comparatively great height, on the last step but one, his mind no longer dwells upon earthly things, but plunges into infinite space, watching the movements of the heavenly bodies as they whirl on with incredible regularity an-d swifftness. lrkesides astronomy, the beauties of co-ordinate geometry greatly excite his admiration. At last he emerges from the sea of trouble and hard labor, and enters into the last stage of his scholastic career. He is now a Senior! He now takes life very easy, and looks down the rounds of the ladder with great compassion for those poor creatures that are struggling upward. Our hero has become a philoso- pher. VVhat with the sound reasoning that the Calculus teaches, the imaginative spirit that Psychology imbues within him, the sad struggles of man in his battle for existence that Economy thrusts before his eyes, above all, what with the excellent training the weighty essays in the English department affords him, is it much to wonder that the title of philosopher can be applied to him? At last, at last, his work is done. He looks back upon those live long years of trials and triumphs, and a train of contending emotions arise in his mind. Five of his life's best years have been thus spent. Was it worth it? I-Ie thinks long, and at last answers- Yes, II4 Clltimatum. F Honored Professors, many a time and oft, In hall and class-room you have rated us About our singing and our gayety: You call us misbehavers, rowdies, hounds, And lie in wait and secretly take names: And all to gratify a private grudge. Thus far we have endured it patiently, For sufferance is our emblem of respect. Well then, it now appears you are afraid That in the GIQIEIEN BAG you will be cartooned. Go to theng you send for us and you say, In the GREEN BAG put nothing about us. What shall we say to you ? Shall we not say Have we not feelings ? do you think that we, Hearing you daily call us scurvy names, Can so employ a generous restraint And leave you out ? or shall we say, With bated breath and head discreetly bowed, Fair sirs, you stopped us in the hall last week Another time you kept us in: again, You marked us down upon the monthly testsg And for these marks of your affection, We'll yield to your desires.-Pluto forbid l IIS 1 'Cz ..- ,.-I .

We've stood by one another in pleasure and in pain, And now we're linked together with all our might and main. We love our Alma Mater, and loud her praise we'll sing, In any clime that we may find our fortune doth us bring. Now view our sturdy host, a goodly number true, For fondly do we boast the love of dear old Nineteen-two. At first, 'tis true, we could not see why we must work so hard. We thought that college life was fun and never looked we for'ard, But now we see without a veil that who would win must toil- The world is but a battlefield with its tumult and its broil. On the threshold of life we are standing and watching the crowd surge by Soon, too, we'll join that mighty throng and with caeh other vie To carve our names in the Hall of, Fame, as many men have done, And from our number may there be, oh, classmates, more than one. So once more let us gather round and give our college song, As we have done in days gone by, and may it not be long Before we clasp again our hands in Alma Mater's hallsg But for the present say farewell and go where duty calls.

If ' F1'c'.vh11zau-No, he is not the president of the school-hoard, nor is he presi- dent of the College: he is only guardian of the front door. Flatterers call him the custodian. Reader-In answer to your question as to what the large sign Library on the fourth Hoor refers to, the editors are at a loss for a reply. There is on that floor quite a large room fitted out with tables, chairs, stationery an-cl other con- veniences for committee meetingsg there is also a young man, employed by the city, in charge of this room, and it is his duty to see that the various committees meet regularly and conduct themselves with proper decorum while doing so. Beyond this our knowledge is limited. We are informed on rather questionable authority that there are a few books stored in this same room, but that they give the name of Library to the place is hardly possible. Sciilptov'-We regret to say that we cannot give you much information about the various statues that adorn the different stairway landings at stated periods of the school day. Very probably they are attempts of some of the ancients, done in the rough and have never been smoothed up. It is rumored that most of them were found by a group of scientists who were seeking for specimens of fthe rubber age. 1 Doctor-Yes, if you have really discovered a good lotion for bald heads. we think you might do a flourishing business at the B. C. C. PUf7'01ll-507'-Til-C editors do not know the name of either the doctor or the undertaker who are in partnership with the lunch man. 'T hey are both necessarily very prosperous, however. Curious. Chcniisf-You ask where the laboratory is located. Wfe wonder at this question. Surely no one can fail to recognize the laboratory by its characteristic odor. - I2l City College Don't9. s Don't stand in groups of more than one, Don't jump, don't move, don't dare to run. Don't loudly to your neighbor speak, Don't move your chair, you'll make it squeak. Don't use toback in any form, Don't stay at home just for a storm. Always enter by the gate, Don't come too soon, don't come too late. Don't laugh, don't talk, don't sing, don't hum Don't use that horrid chewing-gum. Don't drop your ruler on the floor, Don't on retiring, slam the door. Don't turn the locks, don't scrape your feet, Donft mind the draught, don't mind the heat. Don't questions ask, don't reasons seek, Don't argue points,-be ever meek. Don't test-tubes break, don't acids spill, Of glucose sweet, don't take your fill. Don't dare-on peril of your head- Ask why deep blue turns foxy red. Don't on the stairway stop to rest, Go up the east, go down the west. Don't throw a missile in the air, Don't keep your hat on anywhere. Don't with your your teachers argufy, You'll always get a big black eyeg But wait your time, till bye and bye, You can these galling laws defy. I22 Yelle. If Hear the Baby's shrilly yells,- Piercing yells! What a night and morn of horror their utterance foretells! How they echo, echo, echo, Through thc stillness oi the night! While papa from dreams awaketh And the sprawling infant taketh And it shaketh, shaketh, shaketh With a sort of fierce delightg While the brat its song outsendeth, Papa's hand with grace ascendeth, And descendeth. Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of ragtime rhyme, To the shrill expostulation that so turbulently swells From the widespread mouth of Baby as he yells, yells, yells! Hear the tom cat's screeching yells, Unearthly yells! What a night of wrath and sleeplessness their catly cadence tells In the hot and sultry night lrlow they yell with all their might! From the anger stirring notes Out of tune, What a hideous chorus floats To the weary wrctch who sigheth As he vainly, vainly tryeth, To seek sleep, great nature's boon. Oh, from out his trembling lips What a storm of curses slips, While he flings I-Ieaps of things, ' At the growling feline group, as he madly tries to quell The frightful incantation which they yell, yell, yell. Hear those noisy college yells, Oh, such yells! What a deep reverberation their utterance compels! Be it day or be it night, How they peel forth their delight! From the throbbing, bobbing heads, All in time. What thrice jumbled nonsense spreads To the audience that listens as they say Wir miichten heim. Oh, forth from those wicked elves, What a storm of interjections voluminously wells, - How it swells! How it dwells! On the Present! How it tells Of the class-love that iinpels, To the 'rahing and hussahing Of the yells, yells, yells, To the swelling and the yelling of the yells! 123 NW ll ' I 3 -, J 'K U l .,,., A' ,F-I -'X Would you believe itll f,..

Fond reader, perchance, in her blissful power You oft may pass away some vacant hourg To each sad grief that labors at the heart Mayhap wondrous cure she may impart. Ah! those long days when thought came but in Have now departed ne'er to come again. But whence that pang? does nature now rebel? Why falters on our tongue the word farewell? Has now the pen so much of toil thus wrought? Is mind so weary of prolonged thought, That we resign our task with heartfelt pain, And strange tremors thrill through every vein, Sighing our parting wishes to the wind, As lingering we leave our work behind? Alas! remembrance fond still sweet returns And at our heart regret abides and burns. Now to the critic's voice we lowly bend, Resign'd, move on to meet our fated end. Whate'er our faults or our defects, content, Our minds at rest, we leave this monument. Each worldly wish, each worldly care repress'd, In triumph sure o'er other years possess'd, We manfully step forth to give our place To those who after us come in the race. vain, TH E E N D it ll 12 3 , lx , 1 A as W - - wx!! 1 flag X l , 1 an - t .ii B O.
