I1 1- Y,-jj qv E-I LL mankind is divided into three parts, 0116 of which has never been to college, another is at college, and a third has left college. Caesar in fication a division based upon geographical lines. In fact, he ignored h .74-gf 5, it altogether the question of college training. He published no statistics 1-Qi. flfxh , ' f'4 -fi-P-.ZW . 'r ll f ,.',f-,- ' . ' , .,' ..N describing the inhabitants of Gaul seems to have preferred to this classi- 'lzyvfiffilsgi - L 1 lr- I in regard to it, nor cited any instances of self-taught or college-bred men from among the doughty warriors of Gaul. Possibly Dumnorix and Divitiacus were materially aided on the road to fame by the training they had received in their Alma Mater. Possibly Ariovistus and Vercingetorix, leaving early in life classic shades, had been educated in the school of practical affairs only. The author of the Commentaries is silent on these points. Can it be that he wanted to avoid the neces- sity of discussing the question of the respective advantages and disadvantages of spending four or more years in getting a college education, or of deciding when and at what age a boy should leave school and go into business? Was he afraid to venture an opinion as to value of the changes made upon tl1e old method of devoting the college courses entirely to languages and the study of abstract subjects? What success had the Gauls met by introducing into their curriculums bookkeeping, manual training, cooking, sewing and such subjects? Caesar drew no conclusions. These questions are very interesting ones, but, however, so perplexing that for the most of us it is better to be not among those who rush in where Caesar, from fear or other reasons, has not seen fit to tread. Those who have not had a college training can hardly be said to differ from those who have had in language, manners and customs, as did the inhabitants of one part of Gaul from those of another part. We do not care to draw conclusions as to the advantages of a college educated man over one who is not, or vice versa. The fact remains, however, that there are things growing out of, and connected with, a college training which are unique. I have refer- ence especially to what is known generally as college spirit-an indefinite quantity, almost impossible of description, but easily recognizable when seen or felt. That a college spirit is a good thing no one disputes. The college is benefitted by it along every line of activity. We are constantly told that this spirit, carrying along as it does the 15 THE GREEN BAG enthusiastic devotion of the students to the college, makes constantly for advancement in the mental and physical conditions of tl1e students, and in a steadily widening scope of usefulness for the college. Not only is the college bettered, but people at large know that it is making progress. Is it not strange how much we are influenced in forming opinions as to the value of what someone else has by what that person thinks of it? Our opinions as to the standing of a college are very much the result of what we believe the students think of it. Hearty enthusiasm and strong devotion on their part are sure to create a favorable impression of the college in the outside world. The students of a college are by all odds its best advertisers. A college spirit presupposes a college man, and it should be that being a college man presupposes the possession of a college spirit. The fallacy of this conclusion is unfortunately only too true. Many a man goes through college winning honor and distinction not only along academic lines, but also in other phases of 'college activity, even in athletics, without ever having felt tl1e impulses which a college spirit would have prompted. Not only has the college failed to get from l1i1n the best of what he was capable, but he also has missed from his life a force which he really neededg though it is possible, of course, that the void was filled in other ways, College'spirit shows itself in a high sense of honor. For instance, the ostracism and practical expulsion by the student body of any one of its members who has been detected cheating in examinations, illustrates oneof its highest phases. A proper col- lege spirit requires in many things that a man shall not be selfish. He must sink l1is self- interest in the common interest of all, and especially must he subserve his own wishes and desires to the good of the college. A form of patriotism results, all the more effective because constant play for its activities is given. His tenacity of purpose is strengthened, especially if he is an athlete. His enthusiasm to his college makes him stick wl1en frequently he would give up. His desire to win is something more than the enthusiasm of the moment, the eager- ness for success wl1iel1 rivalry naturally prompts, or the seeking of self-glory calls for. It is the practical forgetfulness of self in the intensity of his desire for the good of the college which draws from him the last effort of which he is capable. Since the child is father to the man it follows that the college student is father to the college alumnus. It ought to follow also that the college spirit of a student should be a sort of progenitor to a healthy and lusty college spirit in the college alunmus. This is another conclusion which does not hold true in the majority of eases. The average alunmus gradually but surely loses much of his interest in his college. He looks back, it is true, with pleasure upon his college days, continues to feel attached to his Alma Mater, but it ceases to receive from him the whole-souled disinterested devotion of his college days. . Aside from the good which an alumnus, imbued with the spirit of l1is college days may do for his Alma Mater, the benefit which results to tl1e alumnus himself is after all the most important. I refer to tl1e development and the following out in his life of those ideals which college spirit l1ad done so much to foster in his student days. Of course, as the years go by, a man finds that his tastes and inclinations change very materially. His plans when he was 16 THE GREEN BAG a college student seem later to him to be crude and hopelessly fanciful and impossible. It may be that witl1 maturity of judgment, seriousness of purpose has taken the place of vague and indefinite dreams. It may be that upon tl1e passing of his dreams nothing took their place, and that he has lost confidence in himself and in his own success. Whatever the situa- tion may be, the spirit of his college days contains n1uch of what is really essential to him. His crudity of thought and indefiniteness of purpose and plan are soon found to be impractical and insufficient. These are natural to youth and are among those elements of a college man's make-up which should be left behind. He needs, however, to hold tenaciously to what col' lege spirit has stood for-optimism, enthusiasm, freshness and wholesomeness of spirit, self- confidence and his college ideals. - It is surprising how much of the past may be brought back to us by little things which we may chance upon ! A toy may recall to us vividly not only certain events of our childhood, but also the general trend of our thoughts and ideas at that time. By the exciting of a tiny nerve spot our entire mental machinery is put in motion. So may the toy carry us back to and permit us to live again in fancy the days of our childhood. The ancient Grecians found in the images of their household gods the glories of the past ever suggested and typified. XVe also should guard zealously the Lares and Penates of our college days. In concrete shape we would have them in the baseball bats, the footballs, the lacrosse sticks which we had used, the books we had studied, the medals and trophies we had won. The ancient Grecian sought, from time to time, his Lares and Penates, and found inspiration from the past in them. So would we do well to keep and to cherish the relics of our college days. A medal might often often remind us of a half-mile run won by sheer grit after all strength and endurance seem to have been exhausted. A football recalls a bleak November day when our tegun had been slowly pushed down the field and defeat was staring us in the face. We had put forward every effort of which we seemed capable, just as in our business we may now find ourselves apparently hedged in completely by adverse circumstances. When in our fancy the events of that day are brought before our eyes we hear again the voices on the side lines urging us on. We remember how renewed strength, witl1 a feeling of confidence, came to us, of a plunge through the line, and the game won. And that same spirit of confidence returns to us, and we break through another line, different in nature from the one on the football field, but just as formidable in appearances. The self-confidence which will return to us will not be that exactly of the past. The crudity, extravagance and impracticability of the latter we will have by experience learned to realize. The spirit, however, is the same, and it is one of the most valuable, yet least prized, of the possessions of our student days. Doubtless every member of your class, tl1is class of 1905 of the Baltimore City College, fully intends-to keep alive in him the spirit of the days which from you are just passing- However, you will find, as others who have gone before you have found, that this is not easily done. 'Fares will grow up more quickly than you realize, and they will try to choke out the earlier and more delicate plants. Of course, you do not want this to beg you desire to keep 17 THE GREEN BAG your college spirit ever green and flourishing, and that it shall bring forth fruit in abund- ance. Among the best of its.fruits will be the constant pleasure arising from the thoughts of your college days, the services which you will render your Alma Mater, optimism, self- coniidence, enthusiasm, freshness and wholesomeness of spirit, and the development to a full maturity of your college ideals. Perhaps you may fail to see l1ow these are dependent in any way upon the possession of a battered football or a college medal. You should consider not alone what these things are, but rather what they represent. We no longer believe, it is true, in magic, but we must not lose faith in the eliicacy of certain charms, and chief among these are the relics of our college days. By their presence they will ever keep fresh in our thoughts tl1e best of what our college life stood forg they will prove themselves to be in all things the Lares and Penates of our college days. - GEORGE L.

He seems to think the Carrollton his only chance, and were it not for tl1e opportunities of this worthy association it is doubtful whether Mike would retain speech.

And such ties! But as all sports, however, he is lazy, and when he rises to give a recitation he does so with rapidity, in order that he may not tire himself by standing too long. This usually brings him to woe, as he is often called to give the recitation again-Qslower. His hair is, as you see, always parted in the middle, and-on the quiet--we think this is done to prevent his mind from becoming unbalanced. You see, otherwise it would takc too much energy to keep his facul- ties in their proper positions. Pity him, kind people!!! 93 yes! I forgot to ask you, Did you ever notice l1is walk?

He chews up his words and spits them out in chunks, so that no one knows what he is talking about unless they use a Peerless Separator. He is a great indoor baseball fiend and slugs the bunch of rags about the campus every after- noon that he has not a previous engagement for. Loves physics, and wouldn't crib anyone's notes for the world Cif jimmy is nearj.

THE GREEN BAG THE INSIDE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1905 E are not the greatest class that ever happened, nor are we the very best thing that ever came out of the City College. NVe have achieved some successes, and with all pride we point to them, but, further, with all honesty we acknowledge our faults. Our record we consider is the equal of that of any class that ever crossed these domains, but, frankly, we do not consider ourselves the one great masterpiece of a much-to-bear Provi4 dence, nor have we much wish to be. We are sufficient in ourselves, and in our- selves will be content. Neither 'does the Historian consider it his proud duty, in the office in which he has been placed, to hysterically laud any and every thing that has been done by his class and declare, in the manner of a baby just finding its foot, its doings the most wonderful in the universe and a perpetual source of delight to his bedazzled vision. The plain facts and truths of our history are sufficiently interesting in themselves and need no embroidering or frilling to cap- ture the attention. Neither shall the Historian forget his mission and make of his story a pure piece of embroidery and no history, a something to be admired for itself, but bearing no resemblance to the busy life of a City College Class. T-he Flight of a stone is governed by the' same laws that control the movements of a Universe, so, in the development and political organizing of a college class may be observed the Same forces and energies that are present in the actions of nations, and, to one of an analytical mind, is just as much pleasure derived from 77 THE GREEN BAG the contemplation of one as of the other. The following story purports tovbe nothing but what it is-the inside facts and history of the class of 1905, told by one who has been in the center of activities: nor is any apology forthcoming from the Historian for his indiscriminate use of names. This is in every sense a History and not a breakfast food advertisement. r Our achievements in the first year were not many, and this is, to be looked for. We had no class organization, we were strangers to the school and to its customs, and, above all, were young and for the first time in our lives, at an age when a single year or two makes the greatest difference, in actual contact with those older than ourselves. Yet, unformcd as we were, to a careful observer the first shoots of various activities had been put forth, already certain ones were taking the lead in different subjects, already certain records had been made and certain standards had been set that were not to be departed from in later years. In athletics, perhaps the greatest achievement of the whole freshman year was the winning of the interclass relay at the annual Field Day. This event, as it is known, is one of greatest rivalry between the various classes, and for the Fresh- man class to win is an almost unheard-of thing. All the greater honor for us! Our men went out earlier than others, trained more consistently, and were of better stuff than those of the other years. That isthe whole secret. The men comprising the winning relay were: llflaurice Chaney, john Fanning, Stephen A. yValsh and lyluscoe Porter, running in the order named. Our victories, however, were not confined to the relay. Porter'wo-n second in the hundred. Maurice Chaney cap- tured the mile, with llobart second, while Walsh took first place in thc'running high jump. Surely an enviable record for a first year, and how enthused we were over the successes of our classmates! I-low we yelled and screamed as Maurice Chaney made his wonderful run for the relay! VVe rode him, an unwilling victim, around the field on our shoulders when he won the mile. How wechanted and called on Porter in the hundred and relay, or how, with others, we alternately laughediand swore as we saw our classmates' victories or defeats. All this went to make up class spirit and paved the way for the class organization made by our politicians in the second year. ln scholarship, Leslie Mo-ses, Wallace A. Thomas, Frank G. Holmes and others had already made the reputation for hard work 78 THE . GREEN BAG and ability that was afterward associated with their names, and, in various ways. others had singled themselves out for notice from their fellow classmen for the faeultyj. ln the literary societies different ones--Frank I-Iolmes, Walter Hollander, joseph Iiless, Guy Kelly, Paul WVegefarth, Philip VVenchel, Purdon YVright or Eldridge Young-had given evidence of their sincere interest in the work carried on in these bodies, and in the Carrollton already had the lirst beginnings of that formidable ring of 1905 men been made that was to have so strong a say in the elections of following years. ln the Chess Club, one of our men, Walter I-Iollander, had singled himself out for notice as winner of the Chess champion- ship of that year. XVith this brief survey the first year must close. Some indications of future class prowess had been given and some individual victories gained, but it was still too early to form a just estimate of the class as a whole. and, of course, too early to foretell the development of any individual. lt remains for the story of the next three years to throw this in relief, and it will be surprising to note from what unexpected sources various abilities became shown and in what divers channels class energy was expended. YVith the second year the true history of the class begins, and from this, the date of the real birth of the class fconsidered as an organized body of individualsj, must commence the true work of the lElistorian-that of denoting the various movements and agitations over which it held sway. l-lere. with the second year, be- gin class politics and that most interesting phase of schoolboy life-political wire- pulling. Ry this is meant no harm. ln a class, as in all well conducted communi- ties, it naturally falls to the share of some to control the affairs of others. .A man is no longer a politician after he has gained a certain power. He is then a states- man, and none the worse is thought of him for his political doings. Likewise in any schoolboy class some few, usually gifted with ambition and a good confidence, little worried by lessons. take it their share to run the political end of affairs, and lind in this dabbling in power and deeper waters a perpetual delight, and for this are thought no worse of by their associates. It is also often found that those. most prominent in classlpolitics have by their own popularity been thrown to the front, 79 THE GREEN BAG and, once there, have naturallyto shoulder the duties devolving upon them. Accordingly, no disparagement is meant to those, who shall be mentioned later, by the free use of their names in connection with political matters, and, by one familiar with conditions of college life, no impression of belittlement will be entertained. At the beginning of our second year an election of class delegates was held to decide class colors, form a constitution, elect class officers. and so on. At this point politics began, and here three men bring themselves into prominence by stepping on the stage of class notice. These, the most prominent men of the class and political leaders of the first year of organization, were Ralph llarker, Louis l. Wilcox and Marion Dinsmore, who formed a sort of triumvirate peculiarly effective. lt may be said, right here, that they were all good fellow-s. They never descended to anything low or unmanly and were most popular among their class- mates: but, having little else to do, they wrought industriously in checkerboard politics, and found innnense amusement in the fascinating business of ofiice-holding. tllarker, VVilcox and Dinsmore were much the same sort of men. Each was easily popular, and each had a laudable self-confidence. Each was thrown into prominence by popular feeling, and, when there, each helped the other to maintain his position. T-hat was all there was to it. illarker was not an out-of-the-ordinary person. He identified himself in no way with athletics, cared little for debating societies, and eschewed study and great exertion of any sort. He had, however, a good presence, was a fair speaker, and, enough to distinguish him in any class, was wry mildly loved by the faculty, and, in turn, very mildly loved his teachers. Louis Wilcox was much the same. He was a bosom friend of Harker, had an imposing presence, and carried all with an air of sufficient, I sanction the enter- prise, that was simply irresistible. Marion Dinsmore, as has been said, was like the other two. He was popular, had a good presence, was an easy talker, had dabbled in athletics, and was with all this an ideal politician, having an excellent appreciation of the different wires and how to reach them. Horne tothe front, these three saw their opportunity and grasped it. They found an unsettled province and frankly took possession. No blame to them, but, unfortunately, a precedent was formed and a habit settled that was to have, in the end. a rather evil influence on the motralr' of the class. There were no obstacles to them, in their hands was all power. Accordingly, in the first election we find the followiiig retu1'ns: Ralph So THE GREEN BAG Barker, President, lXflarion Dinsmore, Vice-'Presidentg Louis I. Wilcox, Secretary, Henri' S. Frank, Treasurer, and Rudolph Dielfenbaeh, Iflistorian. To leave politics and to take up the field of athletics, developments may at once be seen. The chief of these was the formation of the Lacrosse team. This organ- ization proved itself one of the best teams ever put out by the College and, until the graduation of the class of 1905, one of the best managed and successful outlets of athletic energy in the school curriculum of sports. Credit for the organization of such an important body is due to one man alone-Mr. Frederick Tough. Tough was a queer sort of character. He had unbounded self-confidence, good managerial qualities, an imposing presence, engaging manners, and a certain sort of bulldog persistence that generally brought him out. He had, with this,ia most unconscionable love for hearing his own voice, and many were the times that, in later days, in the Athletic Association, his easy tones charmed his hearcrs into a sort of quiet stupefaction that left them with a half irritated feeling that something must be done, though they knew not what. He needed no great inspiration to talk. He could successfully start out on athletic jerseys and bring up on shoestrings in a way that would do older speakers credit. Here he was, however, and had it 11015 been for his energy and perseverance, Lacrosse would never have held a place in College esteem. The Lacrosse team was thus, in its first year, and has always been, a peculiarly and distinctively '05 undertaking: and if the class has nothing else to boast of in the school, it can, at least, point with pride to,the fact that it has firmly established a new sport in the City College and has put it on the basis needed necessary for its sure success. The agitation for Lacrosse was started by Mr. Tough early in September, and soon, under his direction, a large squad of men were out working enthusiastically. The enthusiasm proved no passing emotion, so in the spring the Lacrosse team made a splendid showing and gave itself an impetus as a body that sent it spinning some years into the future. Lacrosse at its outset had an innnense popularity, and this for some time gave it an undue political inliuence that showed itself in various ways. - A great loss to the athletic division of our class at this time was the departure of Muscoe Porter. Porter was perhaps at this time our foremost athlete. He had especially distinguished himself at the last Field Day, and much was expected of him in different ways. lylaurice Chaney, the winner of the Field Day mile, also 81 THE GREEN BAG one of our relay men, left us this year, as did Fanningg and by the unhappy death of Stephen A. VValsh another good man was deprived us. Thus, at one breath, the backbone of our athletic system was almost entirely taken away, and the rest of the body so crippled that it did not, up to its graduation, entirely recover. Q At Field Day we once more won the class relay and got places in the loo yards and one-mile run. The relay of this occasion was composed of PL Bobart, L. F. Tough, Frank Bradenbaugh and Eugene Chaney, running in the order named. ln the hundred, Bobart again upheld the honor of the class, and in the mile, Breyer, in the first event of his career, won third. This last event is to be noted as peculiarly interesting, for, before that time unknown, Breyer has since then, in his last two years of schooling, become perhaps the best interscholastic distance man in the state, and, with the exception of Riley, the foremost track man of the class. The story of the second year cannot be left without a sincere expression of regret for the unhappy death, in the early part of the year, of our classmate, Stephen A. Walsh. A true friend himself, he was a most lovable person and had the deep regard and admiration of his classmates. Nothing came with such a shock to them as the lamentable news of his departure. Maybe the most enjoyable year of a college man's course is the junior year. Certainly, in our class, it was the most packed with incidents and, from a historianls point of view, the most interesting of the course. In politics especially is much activity to be observed, and the thread of our political narrative is to be taken up exactly where it was broken off in the story of the second year-at the election of officers. T-he political history of the end of the second year is marked by just one fact-the decline in popularity of the ascendant faction. There seems to be no very accountable reason for this. A very general feeling of dissatisfaction and a sort of an idea that those in power were running things for their own advantage are all that can be notedg but, without comprehension, we find generally a Q01-min revulsion of feeling to an extreme anti-clique stand, and in the Diogenes search for an honest man, the election of Eugene Chaney to the class presidency in the second annual election resulted. For Vice-President, Summerfield Norwood, a crack Lacrosse and Tennis player and Captain and Manager of the Lacrosse team, was chosen. The other officers were: J. P. VVenchel, Secretaryg Z. Bond Evans, jr., Treasurer, Carl E. Wagner, Assistant Treasurerg C. Morris Harrison, Historian, 82 I THE GREEN BAG Eldridge W. Young. Oratorg W. Clement Caldwell, Artist: Rudolph Dieffenbach, Prophetg Paul Wegefartli, Poet, G. W. Hill, jesterg NV. S. Thompson, Mascot, Joseph W. Hooper, Sergeant-at-Arms. The politics of the election was complex but most interesting, and, in particular, marked by the inception and rise of one party that was through the year to con- trol the affairs of the class. This, for convenience, may be called the Carrollton- Wight faction. It had for its leaders certain prominent literary society men, an army of lieutenants and minor leaders that made a most formidable array. The origin of this force is interesting. In the latter part of our first year in the school there were several classmen in the Carrollton-VVight Literary Society. Ambitious for power, energetic and truly interested in the work of their society, they were ambitious to hold some of the more important offices of that society, wishing to gain the prestige that power of this sort might give. Accordingly, their various strengths were united and the ring was formed that then so amply filled its pur- pose and eventually played such an important part in the larger politics of the class. The most prominent men of this movement were Paul VVegefarth, Philip NVenchel and Rudolph Dieffenbach, and this, another big three of power, proved a ruling force in political matters. Of the three, Dieffenbach seemed to be the strategian. lly Diff wras most of the scheming done, while to VVegefarth and XVenchel fell thc limelight, the glare of publicity, for which they were both by nature well fitted. Both were of dramatic temperaments. Each loved a time of intense emotional excitement and each shone brilliantly as an actor, both, indeed, being much sought for for serial entertainments and College plays. To VVegefarth, perhaps, more than Wenchel does this apply. The latter had a hard, keen business sense that often restrained him, while 'Wegefarth, more impractical, was less held back in his love for effect. Here they were however, and here the Carrollton party worked in the second election. The factional feeling of this election may be roughly divided off into three parties-the retiring .Barker force, the strong Carrollton newcomers, and a sort of uncontrolled semi-Bancroft semi-popular vote that decided most of the ballot- ing. On one point all were united-the desirability of having Mr. Chaney for President and Mr. Norwood for Vice-President.. Accordingly. these were unani- mously elected, and after them the real tug-of-war began. Popular and class 83 THE GREEN BAG feeling was overwhelming against the Barker clique, so every candidate, with one exception-Mr. VVilcox-put up by them was completely snowed under. Between the other candidates, the nominees of Carrollton feeling and Bancroft independent vote, many close races were run, resulting, in almost every instance, in victory of Carrollton feeling. . This election was unfortunate in its birth to strong partisan feeling, because this later divided the class into various factions that presented to each other unyielding antagonism and made almost every class issue a deadlock or a trial of strength. The Barker adherence, completely broken, melted itself into the Carrollton forces, and thus gave that part of the class power that made it almost supreme. This party being so completely a Carrollton matter and rivalry between the two literary societies so strong, it is only natural to find no Bancroft man aftiliating himself with the former forces. Accordingly, the other great party now in theifield was the body made up of Bancroft men and the few non-society men that cared to throw,in their votes with a weaker party. Society spirit seems always to vents its force in some way in City College politics and is always a serious disturbing infiuence. In our class the Carrollton partisans had stronger organization than the Bancroft and seemed to have gotten a strangle hold on the class before the Bancroft could gain an ascendancy. T-he latter faction never had any real cohesiveness. Its men were not bound together by any of the spirit of the Carrollton, and often scattered themselves in most weakening ways. It possessed no nominal leaders, but those who seemed to be chief opponents of the powerful Carrollton organization were Holmes, Hess, Eliason, Evans, occasion- ally Hollander. and maybe one or two others. Borne on by their prestige gained in the last election and supported by Car- rollton vote, in the middle of the year we find its leaders-VVegefarth, Weiielicl and Dieffenbach-to have become the most powerful men in the class, Wcfgefartli and Wenchel prominent in public view and Dicffenbach a sort of power behind the throne. On the Bancroft side may be noted Holmes, Evans and Hess. The small independent vote had no prominent men and usually cast its lot with the Carrollton current. It really consisted of those of the business course, and had for its spokesman Charles Leader, a wily and keen politician. At this point with this political situation came the Christmas play election and that wonderful squabble 84 THE GREEN BAG over the choice of GREEN BAG editors. For the position of the editor-in-chief of the GREEN BAG. the highest honor of the class bestowal, one would naturally expect to find many candidates. On the contrary, there were only two, and this shows how wide embracing were the two factions-that but a single nominee from each of these two forces should be all to contest for such a prize. As might have been deduced, two men prominent in politics and public view were chosen- Mr. VVenchel and one other from the Bancroft side of the' fence. After a few weeks of frenzied electioneering, incriminations, recriminations and disputes that threatened to split the class, the day of the election drew near. In all pre-election stumping the effort of either faction had been to obtain the independent vote, for, small as it was, it would decide the coming ballot, so closely had lines been drawn. This at first, by Charles Leader, was promised to thc Bancroft side, but on further inducement was swung into Carrollton ranks. Here it stayed until the day of the election and then cast its vote manfully for llflr. VVenchel. Accordingly, he was elected, and has since nobly performed his duty. The other editors chosen were as may be seen in the front of the book, ln the rush and hurry of the GREEN .BAG election little attention was given to the Christmas play, but this, after the GREEN BAG voting, received its duo attention. Another frenzied time was gone through with, but one week after the election of the GREEN BAG officials, Mr. Ralph Barker was chosen, in preference to M r. Joseph Hess, for the chairmanship of the Christmas play committee. Later in the year, however, after the departure of M r. Barker, Mr. Hess w.as placed in the position he had desired, and worthily filled the office thrust upon him. Little else of interest in politics marks the close of the third year, but nquch of worth and interest in the field of athletics. The Lacrosse team, under the able leadership of Mr. Summerfield Norwood, more than upheld the name won by itself the year before, and gained great glory in particular by defeating the much-vaunted players of the Mt. .wasliington Athletic Club. Those of the class who distinguished themselves thus were: Sum- merfield Norwood, Rudolph Dieffenbach, Henry Frank, john Thompson, Alan Chesney and Edward Silkman. - lt may thus be seen that our athletic standard was fully upheld in one direc- Ss THE GREEN BAG tion, but this year is especially notable to us from another cause-the develop- ment of two men from our ranks to the highest prominence in trac-k iathletics. These, the brightest athletic stars of our whole class existence, were H. Meyer Riley and Frank GJ llreyer. One a high jumper, the other a miler. Before the season of 1904 they had been practically unheard ofg but by their successive victories in the meets of the Spring they had at the end of the few weeks of the athletic season gained a reputation that placed them in the very first rank of inter- scholastic sport. Two other men may perhaps be mentioned as of sterling ability in track matters, and these were Eugene Chaney and 15. F. Parlett Brenton. While neither was a bright, particular star, both were men of good, consistent ability, and certainly deserve a high place in the annals of our track men. With this four the list must stop. No others achieved any success in running,Iand, if it must be said, few others made the necessary effort to try their powers. The Field Day of this year proved a sad occasion to us. The men who had made it such a brilliant occasion in other years had, with few exceptions, gone, and but one or two were left to uphold the class standard that in happier times had flaunted so bravely. Besides this, our sure dependence for the high jump- Meyer Riley-had, by an unfortunate injury to his hip. been obliged to stop jumping for the season. Thus, disappointed in one quarter, we turned to our only other man of reliance-Breyer--for the mile. He fulfilled our expectations by handily winning this event, and his was our only victory, though our relay strove nobly but unsuccessfully. Enough has been said. The Field Day of '04 was a gray day to us, with but one rift in the clouds, and through this the sun, overcast by sorry fortune, shone wanly, in a way that did not warm us, but served only to illumine our sorrows. Turning from athletics to a literary field a more agreeable prospect greets the eyes. Almost all debating society affairs were in this year controlled by our men, and the culmination of the whole term was reached when Walter Hollander, our accomplished declaimer, won the Morgan Essay Medal, in an open field, from a whole host of competitors. In scholarship the third year closed with Holmes. Moses and Thomas easily in 86 THE GREEN BAG the lead, with Gorton, Fisher and other persevering workers wandering sedately in their wake. Our fourth year op holidays, a taking up o '1 and a respinning and adding to that queer design that finally evolves itself from l stands the record of four years' work. To describg the ened, as most years do, with a sorrowful return from the f tl e old threads where we had left them the year before, our various labors, anc last weaving in that multicolored design is the present work of the Historian. At once it may be noted that at the beginning of the fourth year there is no great agitation over the class election. Every party line seems to have been erased, and instead of the snarling antagonism of' a few months before, all feeling has been blown away by genial summer breezes, leaving only peace and quiet. But not for long. Behold, on the horizon the cloud of fraternityism, no bigger than a man's hand, that is to make such divisio-ns in our little community and Cause such divers disagreements! To return to the election: At the opening of School man' of our im ortant men had gone. Chane , the third- 'e r - ' 5 y a piesu ent, was now at West Point, and Norwood-big, open-handed Norwood, the man of the Jrosaicallf studying law under a new Alma Mater Lacrosse field-was now 1 5 , g Thus the whole list might be run down with like distressing results. One n-lost popular man and general good fellow was certainly'left with us. Him, Paul VVegefarth, we elected President and escorted to his seat with wild applause, T110 other officers of this election were: J. P. NVenchel, Vice-President, Louis I, Wilcox, Secretary: Z. Bond Evans, Treasurer, D. C. Street, Assistant Treasurer, Ernest W. Copeland, Sergeant-at-Arms, J. S. Martin Hammond, Historian, john S. Thompson, Prophet, Joseph Hooper, Musician, J. Purden Wright, Oratorg William Hill, Jester, Willis Thompson, Mascot. Then, our little excitement done, placidly we took up the new routine of work and prepared to assume the duties and responsibilities of the Senior year. Were l t' and were we as all classes according to their we rcstive under our new cu ies, , . ,, account, seem to have been, glad, yet regretful, of the years gone by and eager, yet fearful, for the years to come ? Well, I guess not. A nicely balanced sentence but it don't fit us. W over Freshman, bumptious Sophomore and airy Junior with conscious superiority 3 but we were, I think, unfeignedly glad that this was our last year of college life, e assumed our duties with pardonable pride. We 101-ded it 87 THE GREEN BAG wildly anxious to get out, and uneasily restless under the increasingly onerous schedule of minor duties and petty disciplines that had so well restrained us in our younger years. The months sailed along fkindly take notice that the Historian does not say sped byuj, bringing with them, with no conscious effort of ours, the Xmas holidays and the much heralded Xmay Play. Our Xmas Play! Of all images of class doings this surely must awaken the fondest recollections. Who of the class will ever forget Wenchel, Wilcox, or Copeland, or Street, or Jones, or any of the others, as they took their parts on the stage, or who will ever forget the house itself, with its brilliant boxes of alumni, university and business men, or the sombre hold of the Mystic Seven, xor the sparkling seat of the Westerii High School? Perhaps some, but few of our class will, and certainly none that took part in the production itself. Seriously, our Xmas Play was a grand suc- cess, and all this we owe to the energetic efforts of the committee and the well- seeing guidance of its Chairman, to whom, one and a1l,lhonor and 5-Tlory without end, Amen. There is little use in going further into detail concerning our graduation year. Athletically, Riley, Breyer and lji1'Cl1tOl1 further distinguished themselves in their respective fields, Riley, in the high jump at the Hopkins lndoor Games, breaking the College record for that event, and Breyer, in the mile, making for himself the foremost name in Maryland interscholastic circles. 'ln Lacrosse, Henry Frank, Rudolph Dieffenbach, John Thompson, Alan Chesney, Corbin Streett, Frank Bradenbaugh. Frank llreyer and Edward Silkman distinguished themselves, making the backbone of the body to which they belonged. ln scholarship the same old trio-T-homas, Moses and Holmes-easily held the lead, Thomas, the steady workerg Moses, the hair trigger, nervously energetic one, and Holmes, the quiet student. It has been said that there is little use in going into detail concerning the political doings of the fourth year, and this is exactly true, for in his graduating year the interest of the student is not turned in that direction. Thatlis for the third year. There the scho0lboy's ambition and desire for school honors finds its fullest outlet. lfn the fourth year, contently going with the tide, the student turns his mind to a more social Held, and here the graduating year Ends its greatest charm. With a view fixed on the things outside of school,,and interested in, because ss ' THE GREEN BAG about to engage in, the struggles of the larger world, he naturally has a bigger standard of measurement and a more comprehensive view of affairs than the under-class man. Hence the strife and petty ambitions that had so delighted him a year or more ago seem now conteniptibly small. inevitably he loses interest in school politics and finds his greatest enjoyment in the companionship of those with him. This natural movement shows itself in various ways, among thenq the formation of fraternities. XVhile our class never had any very mal claw gpirit .. . , as have had some of fewer numbers, it yet had a sort of good fellowship that was greatly marred by the advent of fraternity feeling. Thus, this was far from a blessing to us. its history is simple. Early in the year certain individuals find- 'J ing themselves congenial and wishing to- set themselves off from the others fthere lies the evil of fraternitiesj. formed the first fraternity. It proved the first drop that made the whole mass crystallize. The class, as has been shown, was ready for the action, and here, presto! the first fraternity dropped, like a crystal into the oversaturated solution, caused the whole body to resolve itself into partieleq 'tl lI'1'lIl 'ClTlClll., still contained in that fiuiql from rf lut having no coherence and keeping each austerely to like the iirst. having the same axis 1, '. b which all were sprung, J ' . itself. A lt was impossible to have any true class spirit here: however much the separate fraternities might enjoy themselves. there could be no class unity and hence he true class spirit. In politics the situation was but a refiection of the year before Instead of two opposed parties we find many opposing fraternities. That is the onlv difference. lt is not worth while to give particulars. One particularlv strong federation tried to controll all class matters. Others opposed it, and the bewii- dered non-fraternity men looked on, in a helpless, dazed confusion, at the uproar of what had formerly been a fairly well ordered body. It is a peculiarly painful page of our existence and no benefit is derived from its contemplation. We may Say that it was the natural outbreak of a certain natural force that in some form had to have its expression, but considered practically the fraternity was perhaps the greatest evil of our whole four years' course, a breeder of snobbishness and 21 fomenter of discord. Here the Historian must stop. He has faithfully tried to present the true pic- ture of a high school class. and sees no reason why such an exposition of school S9 THE GREEN BAG life might not prove just as interesting as the history of any body of individuals. If these pages are read by any college student he will at once recognize that the same feelings that agitated his own college work still move a later generation, and, should they find their way to the hands of a philosopher, they may inspire him to a real study of that most interesting phase of existence-schoolboy life. The His- torian's one object has been to show that to be interesting the story of a City Col- lege class need not be a verbose extolling of all real or imagined virtues that his class may or may not have had, but that the plain portrayal of the forces and agitations that have animated a body of young men is in itself sufficiently inter- esting. There are difficulties in giving an exact record of our class existence. No writing has been kept of real class actions, so the lrlistorian has been obliged to depend mainly on his memory for the data supplied. However, it is all suffi- ciently characteristic to give you the spirit of the occasion they tell of, and this is really the great aim of history, to transport you in imagination to the spot where distinctive events have taken place, to malce you breathe the atmosphere of the time, and in spirit to see the actors of the drama replaying their various bpm-ts. If this history interests you, or if it has given you some insight into the complex workings of the class of 1905, the I-Iistorian's aim has been accomplished. -l-l I STORI AN. 90 K' x 4?

As we were passing a group of workmen tearing up Balti- more street. observing them closely I recognized to my surprise several of my old classmates. 'lfhere were Silkman, Keiningham and Bubert plying their picks and shovels with their old time energy. X1Ve spoke to them and passed on. As we strolled along, for we seemed not to be in any hu1'ry that day, .I noticed a large signboard bearing an advertisement which read Gorton, Green 81 Fischer, Undertakers. XVe give 'Pink Trading Stamps' U A No doubt, said Paul, they are our old classmates. I, meanwhile, had been 94 1 THE GREEN BAG observing one of lXflellin's Food advertisements. On it was the picture of a sweet baby boy. Do you recognize the face P said Wegy. It's Chesney. He made lots of money posing for that advertisement, and since then has been living in ease and quietness, a bashful bachelor. And indeed it was A1an's chubby features. What has become of Watkins?

'His melancholic aspect had changed in no way, save that he looked even l t noic in 1 hurry He 1-'reeted us profusely more melancholy and was somew ia' 1 . . . . , g and asked us to give him some news. We had none, but as he said a reporter must have news. to accommodate an old associate, we made some up. He told us that Sykes was now a full-fledged editress of the Womans, Inquiry Column of his paper, and that Klaesius was also on the staff. I then took leave of Paul after arranging to meet him later at the lVlarylancl Club, of which we were members, and jumping on a car I started uptown. As I ' 95 THE GREEN BAG gave the conductor my fare I recognized him-Willie Elliason. We shook hands, while I noticed that he failed to ring up my fare, and that he still wore the same white tie. lt is queer how much one can notice in only a moment. He informed me that Llosly and Thomas were motormen on the same line, and that Hines was a track-greaser. After quite a pleasant chat with Conductor Elliason I got off. Standing on the corner swinging his baton in an idle manner, like 411 such per- sonages, was a policeman, whose unmistakable Irish face I recognized as Riley's. I shook hands with him and asked him how long he had been on the force. Oh. for some time, said he. Selby and Caldwell are also coppers, and Nelson is a police captain. On asking him about several of my classmates he told me that 'lrlreyer had made a little money at one time, but had since lost it all, and was now a genteel bum about the streets. I-Iow did he make his money F .ll asked. XVell, said Cald- well, who had just come up, he sold two footballs of which he had charge at one time and invested the money in some stock of the Dieffenbach ik Brenton Gold Brick Co., and made quite a little pile of dough, but he had run through it. I was just on the point of inquiring about the Diettenbaeh Sz 'Brenton Gold lrlrick Co., when who should come along the street but Diff and Polly themselves. We embraced and gave each other the Delta grip, and then started off to- gether, leaving Riley to care fo-r himself, or more likely for someone else. Diff, said I, I thought yoii were going to Honduras to be an insurgent.'i Well, said he, in an embarrassed tone, so did I, but, er-well, that is to sayg oh, the climate did not agree with me.

I have remained out of the campaign this year because I don't 'like to work against 'Pap' Wenchelf' Oh, indeed l said I. Brenton here spoke up, saying that he had seen I-Iollander the day before, and 96 THE GREEN BAG that he was a salesman for a Quack lvledicine Company. l'-le secured the job because he brought the recommendation from the Class of 'o5: that he could talk more and say less in thirty seconds than any other man in theiclass. By the way. remarked Diff, in a reminiscent way. some time ago I ran across a queer looking object with long hair, a high hat and a preoccupied air, striding along Howard street. He was muttering something like- . i 'Alasl she wailed in black despair, She waved her hands and tore her hair. lt was Spamer! l stopped him and he told me that he was a poet, also a vegetarian, as well as a 'Dowieitef and that he sometimes set words to liphraimls songs.

After giving our orders we continued to chat. Henry Frank, said Diff, is, doing very well in the wholesale junk business, and Fritz Steinitz is holding down the German chair at the Hopkinsf' I was overjoyed at the good fortune of my old friends. On inquiring of Francis Scott Key Gilbert, Brenton spoke up. He is instructor of penmanship at one of Raltimoreis leading business colleges? Oh! the irony of fate! The waiter now appeared with our feed and we addressed ourselves to it with great gusto, especially the firm of Dieffenbach and llrenton. During the course of the meal we discussed the political situation, for the subject seemed to be general through- out the room. Wliat chance has Phil Wenchel of being elected?,' I asked. Oh! quite a good one, replied Diff. I expressed my gratification at hearing this. The waiter had now brought us the check and Rudolph dived valiantly into his pocket, while Po-lly fumbled with his purse, but it ended with my paying. VVe left the Rennert feeling much refreshed, and, after promising to meet again in the near future, parted, Diff and Parlett to rope in some unsuspecting guy, and I to wend my way back to the Belvedere, where l was staying. As the afternoon was a very pleasant one I decided to go out for a walk. As l '97 THE GREEN BAG strolled up Charles street I could not help noticing the continuous stream of beautiful femininity which Howed up and down this handsome thoroughfare of the Monumental City. On nearing Washington's Monument I was struck with a particularly handsome damsel, accompanied by a not ill-favored gallant, coming in my direction. Upon close observation I recognized in the latter our old lacrosse man Phil I-Ioffman. Phil was so engrossed with the lady that he did not see me until he almost ran into me. Then he spoke and introduced me to his charmer. I won't give her' name here because it's not necessary, and more- over Phil might not like it. Well, said If to myself after I left them, it's obvious that Hoffmanls walk in life is the same as ever-North Charles street with a pretty girl. Passing a drug store, I happened to notice the names on the show window, Esslinger 81 Essman, Pharmacistsf' so I thought I would stop in and see if they were my old classmates. I went and asked one of the clerks if any of the firm was in. He went back in the store and returned, say- ing that Dr. Esslinger would be there in a moment. When the Doctor appeared he expressed surprise at seeing me and we fell into conversation. He told me that business was very good, and that most of his goods were bought from the Disney, Matthews and Schmidt Wholesale Drug Company, and that his best customer was Tom Woodall, who almost bought him out of 'Bromo Seltzer and Red Raven Splits every morning. That looks bad for Tommy, said I. Yes,U said Esslinger, he has come in here some mornings when his breath was so strong that if a lighted match had been held to it there would have been an explosion. just at this moment we heard a commotion on the street, and hur- rying to the door we were just in time to see four men pick a motionless form from the ground ,and start for the drug store. Nearby stood a large puffing auto, in which sat Knots Copeland and Louis Ives Wilcox. Knots,' was issuing Biblical words with his usual Huency and originality, but Louis was very quiet, as usual, and very pale. He had no right to be in the way! roared 'Knotsf What's the use of having one of these machines if you can't go like HELL P Louis said he was going to get out and see if the man was hurt, but Knots said he was not going to break an engagement for a small thing like that. So after Louis had got out he started OH again at full speed. By this time the injured man had been brought into the store, and the instant 98 THE GREEN BAG l saw him il knew it was old Field. Wilcox now entered the store and inquired about the injured one. Upon seeing me he came up and shook hands. Esslinger said that Field had better be taken around to Dr. Streets but at this Field spoke up and said he would just as lief die as go to Dr. Street's. l thought this was rather rough on Dr. Street. so I asked Louis if he knew who Street was, Why: David Corbin, commonly known as 'Doc' of old '05. said Louis. Indeed,', said I. Then we spoke to Field and persuaded him to accompany us around to Doc's to have his arm set, as it was apparently broken. On the way Louis told me about the accident. He and Copeland were coming down Charles street in Copeland's machine at a very fast clip and had run down Charlie Field. K Field declared it was a scheme to bring' trade to Doc Street. lVe arrived at .Doc's house and Doc said he was awfully glad to see us, and I really believe he was fespecially to see Fieldj. VVell, he set Field's arm and Field departed. We chatted for a while and then I asked them to come up to the llelvedere and dine with me. Doc said he would as soon as he dressed. QDoc always did have to dress. you know.J So Louis and .I chewed tl1e rag while wait- ing for him. Louis told me he was a cotton broker. Have you heard about Steinmetz P asked Louis. No, T replied.

Louis said he had started out with Knots Copeland to dine with a young' lady, but, since he did not see a frater from far away every night, he would dine with us instead. We arrived O. K. at the hostelry and I hustled into my evening clothes, and then we entered the dininggroom. We had an excellent dinner and enjoyed Ourselves very much as we talked about old times at the City College Cand else- wherej. Doe asked us to accompany him to the theater and we accepted. VVe ar- rived at the playhouse some time after the curtain had risen. I was surprised to find our old friend Eddie White in the box office. He gave us very good seats ,oo THE GREEN BAG and we settled down to enjoy the olio. The play was a musical comedy, a production of the Moses, Gundersheimer Sz Robinson Theatrical Trust. The music was by Hooper, of 'o5. Although his back was toward me I soon recog- nized the leader of the orchestra as Freaner, of the l-1. C. C. Instrumental Club. As I turned the leaves of my program over in an idle manner an advertisement caught my eye-Rosenberg 81 Rosenburg, Bankers and Brokers. They were probably Arthur L. and Lewis S. On another page was Drink Casey's Irish Rye VVhiskey, Made by Jas. T. Casey 81 Co. Farther down I saw Let us place your insurance-Cromwell 81 Mertie, Solicitors. After the play we set out for the Maryland Club. T-he first thing we saw when we arrived was our old friend john S. Martin Hammond with his feet upon a table doing absolutely nothing Cas of yorej. He smiled, yawned slightly and extended his hand in greeting without stirring from his comfortable place. Martin, said I, what are you doing for a living? Martin stretched luxuriantly and Street volunteered for him that he did less, took more time to do it, and required more help in doing it than any other man in the club. Hammond smiled indnlgently on Doc and sang for a waiter. He asked us to have one on him, and we did. Wliile we were organizing'l I heard an auto horn toot outside, and a few minutes later someone gave me an awful slap on the back, and I turned around to see the form of good old Knots Copeland. He shook hands all around and pinched Martin Hammond so that he actually moved. He inquired about Field and said he was glad he didn't kill him when he ran him downf' Pretty soon the firm of Diffenbach, Brenton Sz Co. came in and there was more greeting. Then old Gus Requardt joined the bunch. He was taller than ever, and it was the current rumor at the club that he was still a killer with the ladies. Knots told me that he and Req. had hung out their shingle together as attorneys-at-law, and that he did the lawn part of the busi- ness, while Req. attracted lady clients. Req., however, blushed and denied it. Then we kidded Louis about his ladies, and Louis also blushed as charmingly as ever. , . , Paul Wegefarth came bursting into the mob. Have you heard the news PM said he. City College beat Polytechnic 18 to o at football this afternoon. That IOO THE GREEN BAG gives them the undisputed championship of the prep. schools of the East? Hur- ral1! cried the gang. just there I. Purdon Wright, Esq., and Alan M. Chesney. M. D., came in arm in arm and joined in celebrating the victory. After the excitement had subsided a bit we began to talk of our old classmates. In the course of the conversation I learned much, viz., that Cohen was a bool: publisher. Beyer, Kaufman and Glantz were in the canned goods business. Krauk was a chiropodist. That Steinacker was one of the faculty of the Bal- timore City College. That Underwood was running a dance hall downtown and lardella was his instructor. Schwartz was a masseur and Elliot and Free- man were photographers. It appeared that Jaeger and Wilkinson were printers and engravers, while Hutchins and Greasly were agents for the lieyer Sewing Machine Company. Someone said that Hendrix and Gwinn were running a sporting goods store. During the conversation Doc and Hammond left-the former pleaded business. Hammond said he needed sleep, and no one vouchsafed a doubt. Wegy then suggested that since only the members of the Delta were there we have a good time. Everyone was agreeable, and the room was soon turned into a character- istic 'tfrati' meeting. The meeting, however, was suddenly disturbed by a com- motion. fl no-ticed that everyone was looking toward the door and applauding, and there, coming up the middle of the room, was J. P. Wenchel, candidate for Mayor of the City of lialtimore. He bo-wed right and left to the club members and threw out his chest just as he used to do up at the Carrollton when he was applauded, you could almost see his head swell. We gave him a royal welcome and proceeded to get him tanked. We gave a sis! boom! bah! for Dodo. l'ap was quite confident of being elected. As the evening wore on we talked of the good old days of '05, ' Alan Chesney told us he had seen Willis Thompson that morning, and Pete was doing very well as an architect. I no-ticed a very clever color design on a Krieger's Magazine and saw the artist's name was Lucius White. Someone in the crowd said that Lucius was the best artist in the country. Pap Wenchel said that he had received a letter from Karl Wagner, who was now in Germany, saying that he was supporting quite a IOI THE GREEN BAG family of little VVagners. He also said that Langleutig and Roddy were in part- nership in the hotel business. 1 learned from Louis Wilcox that Purdon Wright was one of lilaltimore's rising lawyers. Someone said that Bradenbaugh had gone out West and started a gambling joint, and that Wrightson had taken to the sea and was now captain of a big tramp steamer. Chauncey, Schneidereith, so Llrenton said, had gone as a missionary to the South Sea islands, and while there some natives who were not strictly vegetarian had eaten him and then brought suit against his estate because hehad given them indigestion. We all wept when we heard this and tool: an- other drink to his memory. So we talked and sang' just as we used to dog told pleasant stories of how we had outwitted the professors in our City College days, and how the B. C. C. used to win its athletic contests, Sze., Sze. i Then our conversation turned to the election again and we all wished Pap success, and Pap wished himself success, and just at this moment a messenger entered with news of the election results, and we all roared, Who's elected? and just as he was about to answer 1 heard that same railroad train coming nearer, and nearer, and nearer, and the noise grew louder, and louder, and louder, and theu--I woke up. -P ROPHETW.

YM' fzn1z'or's Idea Qf liafnpifz CS S THE l GREEN BAG ', HISTORY CLASS i906 OW that we have become more advanced in the higher depart- 'f'go,, . ment of learning we look back on our past school life and ont lj ' W-f1 l-r . . . , , shudder to think that this most happy period of our lives is Wlii 'wall , . l nearly over. We must make the best of circumstances, how- tifigl 'I ' t:2t'2f.t ever, and no doubt when the one more year of our school life has passed into the great yesterday, most of us will go- out, some to meet the world and some to greater'knowledge, with a certain sense of joy, and unless present indications are entirely misleading, the glorious class of naughty-six will not be the least renowned which has passed through theportals of our mighty institution. Thus far our men have distinguished themselves in every way. Not only have they made a name for themselves in their studies, but they have taken a leading part in athletics and in the various literary and scientific societies of the college. In the very first year of our sojourn at the college our class was rep- resented in every club and society of the school, and also on most of the athletic teams. lt was one of our men who won the broad jump in the municipal games of this year. Although repeated efforts were made at class organization during our first vear these were, in the main, unsuccessful. For some reason our men failed to get together, and the result was that very little was accomplished in this line. The next year, lio-wever, we early elected officers and were then bound together in one united body. That indomitable spirit which has ever since distinguished us soon showed itself and we came to be considered one of the finest classes which have ever had the privilege to enter our school. In this year we were represented in even more of the teams and societies of 105 THE GREEN BAG O our school than in the previous one. Three of the members of our victorious football team were members of our class, and although beaten in the indoor baseball league by the seniors, we did remarkably well and finished in second place. Thus, when the fall athletics came to a close our class was well to the front. In the spring of this year our boys entered vigorously into the athletic cam- paign. Our class had three representatives on the lacrosse team and even more on the track. On field day we came off with Hying colors, even though we had fewer entrants than some of the other classes. Those we had, however, were of the Hrst magnitude, and this accounts for our success. This year closed, as did the previous one. with great credit to our class. W XVe returned last year somewhat thinned in numbers, yet still animated with that same fearless spirit which has always distinguished us. We feared no in- dividual, no class. As our school life draws nearer and nearer to its close we look with a feeling possibly of joy. not unmingled with sorrow, toward the end. We appreciate ho-w hard it will be for our class to break up after its members have had so long and so happy a life together. Wfe also realize, however, the joy there will be in throwing our school books aside and in going out to meet the world, to make a name for ourselves individually, for our class and for our school. We intend, however, to make the best of the year which is still before us, and to prepare ourselves for our future life.

THE GREEN BAG CLASS or l907 . T Micky N a bright September day in the year of 1993, a large number of ill time ti'tCf:.:Ytffais'tl lift' 1- - + -6 lads who had completed their grammar school studies assembled from all parts of the city in the campus of the Baltimore City College to become students of that great institution of learning. With their hands in their pockets and gazing wildly at the build- ing they awaited their turn to report within. lt seemed as though the time would never come, but about noon they were lcd to the Assembly Hall, where their professors-to-be were all gathered. After the presi- dent had addressed them and the roll had been made out they were told to return on the next day to be divided into classes. These new students at the College were to become the Class of 1907. Not long after our advent, the novelty of the situation having worn off, we began to think of organizing. Class meetings were held and officers elected, but for some unknown reason the meetings were not patronized and there seemed to be a general lack of interest. Therefore, all hopes of accomplishing anything as a class were abandoned for this year. - At last the lirst year of life at the College came to an end and all went forthg some in one direction, some in another, to enjoy a vacation of several months. The majority of us had worked hard during the iirst term, andthis was a treat which none were sorry to receive. After our three months of rest we returned for another year-this time as Sophomores.' A great change has come over the uninterested Freshies of last year. Everyone is inspired with the one thought of making the Class of 1907 a great one. The meetings are well attended and we early elected officers. NVe .109 I THE GREEN BAG began to play an important part in all the events of the school. At the football, baseball and municipal games there was always a large number of our boys. In a series of indoor baseball games between the various classes, naughty-seven came out second. At the Senior Class Christmas Entertainment we were well represented and did our share of yelling. t Although a few of our boys joined the different societies of the school last year they did not gain much credit for the class. This year, however, we have a large number of members in nearly every society, and we are gradually working our way to the front. In the Chess Club several lO7 boys have held important offices. In the Bancroft and Carrollton-Wight -Literary Societies a large percent- age of the members are from the Class of 1907, and they are laying a foundation for future renown. In athletics, also, our boys have gained popularity.. The cap- tains of the football and baseball teams were both from our class, and by good playing another lO7', boy has won distinction on the football team. And so the Class of Naughty-seven is progressing in evc1'y branch, and may it even surpass its past record and become 1'llO1'C illustrious in thc future. I-IISTORIAN. 5335 . IIO N W ' P . . . ,,,,, .

THE GREEN BAG BANCROFT LITERARY Soe1ETY '15 46 GN Eqiii HE year' 1876 was memorable in the annals of the college. The K' an infant college of years ago had long since outgrown its swad- Mr: 4 dling clothes, and, fresh and vigorous, was restive under the l n 441651, A A ,N Y L i restraint of the regular courses, and eager to test its strength in ,M Qfga new and original fields. The first to observe this spirit was Prof. Henry E. Shepherd, who immediately recognized that . something must be done to satisfy this healthy longing. Ac- -cordingly he conceived the idea of organizing a literary society, and with rare perspicuity, realizing that self-activity is the greatest cause of intellectual growth, and that of all things freedom is the most essential to self-activity, placed the management in the hands of the students, entirely independent of faculty control. The wisdom of this course became at once evident, for the students responded almost unanimously to his call, and with burning enthusiasm launched the Ban- croft upon its long and honorable career. The avowed purpose of the society was to train its members in literature, ora- tory, debate and parliamentary usage, and in this it has been reinarkably success- ful. From the awkward, uncouth freshman who, on taking the floor for his Hrst speech, trembles, mumbles a few incoherent words and resumes his scat covered with confusion, a few years of this training never fails to make a speaker, who, if he be, not silver tongued, can yet hold his own before an audience. The chief activities of the society are comprised under three heads: Public speaking, declamation and debate. Under the first of these heads any member who is designated by the president is required totake the floor and speak, with- out previous preparation, upon any one of several subjects which have been provided by the board of curators. This feature of the program seems to pos- sess speeial terrors for the new members, for not only does it necessitate a certain familiarity with the topics of the day, but it requires that which is far more diffi- cult to obtain, the power to think accurately and rapidly before an assemblage. 115 l THE GREEN BAG After a few hair-raising ordeals the victim gradually becomes accustomed to the procedure and, in a short time, begins to regain his self-control and composure, until he finally realizes that he has obtained the faculty of clear, concise thoughtg a lucidity and directness of expression, and a power of analytic reasoning which cannot fail to be beneficial to him, whichever walk of life he may choose to tread. Wliile probably not the most beneficial, the declamation forms the most eu- joyable feature of the program. Four regular declaimers are appointed by the curators for every meeting, and the selections are treats indeed. T-hese are selected with the greatest care and much pains given to their interpretation, which requires a vast diversity of talent, since they comprise the masterpieces of ora- tory, poetry, narrative and humor. Indeed, anyone who attends the meetings for at least one year will have become fairly familiar with the gems of English literature, to say nothing of the polish and intellectual refinement of feeling which their public rendition must invariably produce. The concluding feature of the program is the debate. The subject selected for discussion is usually one of governmental, legislative, or economical significance and gives a vast scope for clear logic and pointed controversy. The debaters enter upon their task with as much earnestness as if the fate of a nation de- pended on the outcome, and at times feeling runs high on both sides. The ad- vantage occurring from such training is so well understood that we need devote no further space to this head. Besides this interesting program, the Bancroft offers to its members two gold medals for excellence in declamation and cxtemporaneous speaking. These medals were originally given by Willialii VVallace Sheridan and Jesse V. Hobbes. but after the death of these two gentlemen the Bancroft, realizing the benefits of such contests, continued to offer the medals as a stimulus to individual achieve- ment, and as a reward for merit. Such is the work 'of the Bancroft, and that it has performed this work well is clearly attested by the number of its alumni who have distinguished themselves in the pulpit or on the platform and the stage. From the first it has carried on its work with an ardor, a singleness of purpose, and an enthusiasm scarcely to be looked for in an organization of its character. Nor has this enthusiasm been ephemeral, but has rather increased as the years ro-fled by, until 'today it is at a higher point than at any other time in the history of the society, and if there is any truth in analogy, if the future may be judged by the past, that the Bancroft has had a great past and will have a greater future: that its achievements, great as they are, will be far surpassed by those of the future, is the only conclusion to which a study of the past history can lead us. - II6 3?

It depends upon the student alone, however, whether he make this oasis a Pierian spring or simply a pool at which he slakes his thirst in his upward climb of Parnassus. One student enters the society, attends its meetings, discharges his pecuniary obligations with the society, takes part when assigned, goes out from school and the society into the world, complains of the emptiness of school life and the lack of fraternal spirit among the students. Another student joins the literary society. 1-Ie not only attends the meetings, pays his dues and responds to assignment, but endeavors -to bring chaos upon a perfected mechanism. He is present at all society affairs. he speaks at every opportunity-and ofttimes makes his opportunity-he is threatened with expulsion, yet he continues on in his wild meteoric course, and, graduating from school, he leaves the society. Embarking upon life's vast unknown he preaches the necessity of Ia college course and pleads for college societies and associations. II9 THE GREEN BAG Such is college life. One student comes to school, deceives himself, and thinks he is taking part in college life. Another student comes to the same school, puts all his force in his doings, helps make the true college atmosphere. One has caught the college bacillus and has also been attacked with the disease. For one, college life was a vacuum 5 for the other, an ecstasy. I The literary society is the core of the entire college. It is the place where the student is developed. In the literary society the student gets that encouragement and sympathy for which he lumgers, and in place of which an over-fastidious faculty gives him ridicule and criticism. The difference is simply a recognition of conditions. We laughed when, in reply to congratulations upon a signal duty nobly performed in a crisis, an American Governor replied: I seen my duty, and I done it, but we never thought amid our smiles that there was real ignorance in the man who performed the public service. The same thing viewed from a different point takes on a different color. Once a German family emigrated to America and went out West. The oldest son--in his teens--decided that he would start out for himself. Finally he reached New York penniless, so he wrote home: Dear Mother--l am sick and lonely and without a single cent. Send me some money quick. Your son, John. The old man could not read, so he took the letter to a friend-a great, strapping butcher with a loud, gruff voice and an arrogant man- ner of reading. When the letter was read to him the father was furious and declared that he would not send him a cent, not even to keep 'him from starving. On his way home, however, he kept thinking of the letter and wishing that he could hear it again. so he took it to another friend-a consumptive undertaker, who had a gentle voice with an appealing inflection in it. When this man read the letter the father burst into tears and said: My poor boy 5 I shall send him all the money he wantsf, The literary society aids and abets the student all through the college term. It is a student organization, managed by the students for the good of the school. The literary. of all college factors, is the one element that makes the man. In 120 x THE GREEN BAG the literary society the student forms the habits that mark his character afterward. A college graduate wins in life not so much by virtue of the special knowledge he has acquired as by the habits he has formed. Habits of the mind involve a leaning towa1'd the truth: habits of thinking involve a control of the mindg think- ing makes the man. ,No reading can rnake one wise without thinking. Thinking will do much for an active mind even in the absence of books and instructors. The reasoning powers grow strong, expand, realize their own abilities, and act with greater facility and precision under all privations. liut where there a1'e no priva- tions what may we not expect of them? He who thinks little, however much he may read, can hardly call what he has read his own. The student who goes through college without taking an interest in the literary society is preparing for failure. The literary society is a necessity in the curriculum. The student must take his place in the literary society and make its doings a part of his very existence or his college life is one thirsting voyage across a parched desert. The college must have a literary society or it is a failure as an educational institution. The graduate must have taken an interest in the literary society or his training will avail him naught after he leaves his Alma Mater. The literary society goes hand in hand with all college aimsg without it there is no learning. The uninitiated and others who have never been connected with a literary society look upon the society as an exhibition ground for the super-refinement of argument' by mental gymnastics and a parade field for the review of literary effusiveness. -They imagine that all exercises are carried on upon the same dic- tional plane as the late Tom Reed's dialogue with the barber. Years ago Tom Reed, then Speakeriof the House of Representatives. went into a barber shop in Washington to be shaved. After the darky barber had scraped his chin he began to cast about for further work or for a chance to sell hair tonics. Hair purty thin, suh, he said, fingering the two or three stray locks that fringed Tom Reed's bald pate. lleen that way long, suh iw l was born that way, replied Reed. After- ward l enjoyed a brief period of hirsute elllorescence, but it did not enduref, Yes. we have some that speak in such language, but for the most part plain United States is the language. Directness of expression, clearness of thought and sim- plicity of diction are-as much sought after in the Carrollton-XfVight as in the ling- lish department. All forms of literary exercise are given due prominence. A char- 121 THE GREEN BAG acteristic Carrollton program includes criticism, debating, declamation and extem- poraneous speaking. The critic, generally one of the able members of the society, is to the society what a coach is to the athletic team. I-lc holds an important position in all Carroll- ton meetings. I-le renders a criticism of the previous meeting, commending the good parts, encouraging the members to greater achievements and urging them to higher idealsg yet, withal, the critic is an exacting criterion. He is ever ready to censure where censure need be applied. He corrects the mistakes and censures the nonsensical and absurd. It is to the critic, with his delicate tact, that the Car- rollton-VViglit owes many of her former successes. The critic has created such a spirit of conquest in the society that today the Carrollton-NVight enters a contest animated by much the same feeling that roused the old Southern planter Whei. Andrew jackson was belittled. A traveler once passing through the South before the war came upon a planter sitting on his veranda drinking julep. The old planter, with characteristic Southern hospitality, invited the traveler to drink. The traveler, after stopping some time. moved as to leave, urging business as his haste. Business ? replied the planter, why, sir, I thought T was glad to have met you. l thought you were a gentleman-and l believe you are. Hang it, man, this is Andrew jackson's birthday. The traveler replied, Yes, that may be, but I am. an Englishman. Don't see why I should honor him. VVhat? Donlti see Why? You ought to feel honored that you were thrashed by the greatest man that ever lived. He was paying you a marked distinction. He was giving you a reputation. I The methods of debate, declamation and extemporaneous speaking are so familiar to the reader that the writer hesitates to dwell upon these topics. Yet, since it is the Carrollton-VVight-a society ever noted for its excellence and superi- ority-that we consider the writer cannot, without allowing the greatest deception to exist, pass over such details. The debate, the declamation and the exteinpora- neous speaking in the Carrollton-Wight are so far above the debate. the declama- tion and the exteinporaneous speaking as generally found in a literary society that anyone who has ever attended a Carrollton-Wight session always afterward looks back on that time of such edification with a feeling of reverence for the lord para- mount, so great is the nobleness of all Carrollton-Wight exercises. ln conjunction with the other literary society and the Musical Clubs of the I22 N THE GREEN BAG College the Carrollton-Wight holds serial entertainments in the College Assembly Hall. The public is both invited and welcomed at these serials. The public, how- ever, at these periodic receptions has little chance to note the higher culture of the Carrollton-bred man. Here each participant performs his part without mark of society affiliation: the good and the bad appear the same to the' audience. There is always, though, a certain superlative distinction clustering about some individual performers. One needs but inquire the identity of these individuals to appreciate true Carrollton pre-eminence. The Carrollton-VVight man sitting in these audi- ences is often guilty of llenjamin Franklin's indiscretion. lilenjamin Franklin, when Minister to France, once heard the then new-born American republic being extolled in the French Chamber of Deputies. Franklin, carried away by his patriotism. applauded, much to the surprise of the polite Freuchmen. So it .is with the Carrollton-Wight man at- these serial entertainments. His sense of propriety is overcome by his appreciation of the predominant. At the close of the scholastic year the literary societies of the College hold a joint contest. Here it is the public can recognize and may appreciate the supremacy of the Carrollton-VVight. Facts pronounce this supremacy. Seventeen times out of a total number of twenty-four contests has the Carrollton-Wight won the victor's laurel. T-wenty-four times has the Carrollton-VVight given an otherwise unheard-of society a reputation. Truly. with such a record as this, may the Car- rollton-NrVight not claim, in all moderation, the guardianship of all true college life and spirit at the City College? A student who ever was a member of the Carrollton-VVight leaves the society experiencing much the same feeling llob Ingersoll did in hell. Bob Ingersoll. when visiting hell, bought a round-trip ticket. VVhen the train stopped at a place full of beautiful trees, warbling birds and bright sunshine Ingersoll did not get off. The conductor said: UI thought you wanted hell?'f Is this hell? lngersoll asked: I didn't think it looked like this. Then he got off. After walking about for some time he met a man to whom he said: l am surprised to find hell such a beautiful placef' VVell. the man replied, you must remember that there have been a great many 123 THE GREEN BAG clever people here for many years, so the place has greatly improved.

Get someone to buy my return ticket, please. The Carrollton-VVight takes this opportunity to express its thanks to the faculty for its many kindnesses, and to its friends at the High Schools for their assistance in the serial entertainments. Acknowledgment is also due llflessrs. I. F. Arthur and G. E. Morgan, of the College faculty, for the contest medals, as well as Mr. Frederick Miller, the kind donor of the extemporaneous medal, which they so gent erously give each year. An expression of appreciation is also due M r. J. F. Arthur for his kindness in offering the use of his room for the meetings of the Carrollton- XVight. 124 HGEXSSKZ, f, Y , Q NX? . 9 ' , ' '52 N fu n' l ,M A in WN 'l'M If 'X f X off 4 W X ,, ' ' X K ..

OW beautiful Dame Nature is. and yet how mysterious! ln spite of all her mysteries, how few take the pains to investigate her. There are many things that a person can learn from Nature. - Many of these things can be learned and understood only by hard study and work. There is, though, no task that is put before one that does not require close study and observation. Some go through this world with their eyes open, yet there are many things that they do not see intelligently. Of course, a person cannot see every- thing around him, but he can comprehend more by observing closely, than he who does not observe at all. Many are the men whose names have become famous in the scientific world who delighted in Nature. Of these one was Louis Agassiz. He was born in Switzerland, and from boy- hood showed a love for natural objects. .He was educated to be a physician, but thought that if he took up this profession he must stop his nature work. Conse- quently, he dropped his profession and devoted himself entirely to nature. After some years he came to America and made his home here until his death, in 1873. After the death of Agassiz a scientific association was founded in the United States, which, upon the permission of his widow, was named after the distinguished scientist. Its organizers aimed to make a large association, composed of many smaller bodies called chapters. These chapters were to be scattered throughout 127 THE GREEN BAG most of the larger cities of the United States and each chapter was to collect the most important natural objects in its vicinity. Upon gathering all the information of these chapters into one volume a fair knowledge of the most important natural objects of the United States could thus be obtained. The chapter of the Agassiz Association in the Baltimore City College was organized in 1889. It is known as Chapter 233 CAD. Immediately after its organ- ization considerable interest was aroused among the students of this institution. Many specimens were gathered and the roll gavepromise of a prosperous future. Hut, alas! Many of our specimens were suddenly lost-some by moving and some by fire: many very valuable ones that could not be replaced. Through the lib- erality of the School Board, however, and the efforts of President Soper and Messrs. Addison and Hackett a room was arranged that is now more fully equipped than any other society room in the College. During the past year the chapter has been reorganized and the constitution revised. The meetings have been made more interesting and entertaining. Lec- turers outside of our student body have addressed the meetings on various topics of scientitie worth. Various members of the College faculty have also spoken. There are many advantages to be derived from the Agassiz. A member may gain literary experience by writing essays, and, again, by the lectures he acquires practice in speaking, not only learning to state facts but how to state them in such a manner as to be understood. llut last and most important, there is the knowl- edge that is gotten from practical work, such as blowpipe analysis and microscopy. Outdoor work is had in the field meetings which are held now and then, and, altogether, to one truly interested in nature the Agassiz is the most enjoyable of College societies. Y 128 Imaam! vm v.

THE GREEN BAG BALTIMORE CITY COLLEGE CHESS CLUB Oue,xN1zEn Sr5P'1'1cmurcR 3o'rn, 1897. 1-an , ML me there is nothing quite so pleasant as the recollection of my mf s -Jw College days, with their varied interests and activities. School V3 T life has been called a miniature world: surely, after it has yn M4.7g5ggg,g reached the stage represented by the City College, it lacks, in its ,:r-+:-EIHWA4--A-t associated interests. none of that intensity of purpose which 95,1 gi i'5,.ff' characterizes the present economic and political world. Among the many examples of the ability of the City College men to form strong and permanent -organizations for the purpose of developing certain phases of their social life, the Chess Club may be mentioned: and it is to this asso- ciation, at the request of the Editors Qperhaps because of my early connection with the movementj l am turning my attention. lt certainly does not seem t-o have been over seven years since the promoters of the Chess interest in the College completed their work of organization. Ancl, if it interests the possible reader, 1 shall attempt to sketch some of the interesting features of this chess movement. On one rather cold and windy September morning a group of students were collected about the old iron hydrant in the yard of the temporary College building at' the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Dolphin street-a building of pleasant memories to not a few of us. lilut to the group around the hydrant twhere we used to soak cakes purchased from the stand nearby. and then break them over the iron top as a necessary preparation to their mastieatiouj there were more weighty 131 THE GREEN BAG problems to be considered than that of the conveniences, or otherwise, of a make- shift location. , Many of the classes, especially those of the second year fIQOOD had had chess clubs for some time, but these were now becoming so large and aggressive that the building seemed to be inadequate to contain them all. At this point' a few pro- gressive spirits were taking a hand, and the group at the hydrant represented this number. Between intermittent remarks upon the lessons of the day, an ever pres- ent menace to student comfort, and sundry uncomplimentary allusions to the seeming reluctance of the janitor to open the building and let them in out of the chill of the early fall, the question of a City College Chess Club was being dis- cussed. All present admitted that it was a good idea, but then there were the class clubs to reckon with, and some of the promoters of the new idea did not belong to any of these. The opening bell broke up this conference, but the mem- bers parted with the understanding that the various chess clubs should be called together and a merger proposed. ft Accordingly, a meeting was called a few days later, at which many of the best players of the school attended, but so strong was the feeling of class spirit that even with the prospect of doing something better for their school the class clubs refused to disband, and demanded an interclass league. Here bers of the present club came to the front. Off in a corner decided that the College was to have but one club, and that credit to the institution. Witliotit more ado the scheme was the charter mem- of the room they club was to be a proposed and the meeting broke up with a constitution committee appointed to organize a new club, but with several of the members of the class clubs declaring that they meant to continue their organizations. Of course, theirs was a losing game, but it is in- teresting to note that many of the best players who thus held out never did be- come members of the larger club. T-he success of the new arrangement was assured from the start, the member- ship rose rapidly to the limit set, and as this limit was extended the membership continued to enlarge and reach it. Several members of the faculty joined the club, and now and then one would drop in for a game. It is not difficult to see why the club enjoyed such prosperity. It caught the first ripple of the rising tide of Chess interest which swept the country in the . 132 'run GREEN BAG years 1897-1900, and rose with the rising popularity of the game. There was still another reason why the club should be prosperous, and this was the fact that it offered an opporunity for the various alien interests of the College to come together in one society. This congregation of the energy of the student body 'found its outlet in the activities of the Club. . Perhaps a few words upon what the Club accomplished will be more or less an example to those who expect to continue the work. I think that there can be no question but that the organization of the City College Chess Club revived the Chess interests of the city. The Club sought out Mr. Schofield, the state cham- pion, in the palmy days of Chess, and got him to give several exhibitions of simul- taneous play. This aroused his interest, with the result that the Baltimore Chess Association was reorganized, followed soon after by that of the West Branch Y. M. C. A. These were stirring times in chess circles. The interest was spreading in other parts of the country, and magazines upon the game began to appear. The City College Club was not backward to enter the field thus opened. Correspondence games were begun with the Fairfax Club, of lylartinsburg, W. Va., and with Stevens institute. Every now and then a contest was held against one or the other of the city clubs. Great chess masters, as Pillsbury and Marshall, were brought to this city-the College Club bearing its third of the expense with the others. In these many contests our men received more than the usual honors. The only game lost by M r. Pillsbury during his two-day stay in this city was won by Mr. Bernstein, of the City College Chess Club, although it is only fair to Mr. Pillsbury to say that it was one of .eight simultaneous blindfold games. Gf the thirteen men who represented Baltimore in its disastrous contest with the Wash- ington team two were City College men. And of the two games drawn and three won, the City College players drew one and won one. Nor was the activity of the Club entirely external. The co-mbination of the best of the many other societies of the school afforded plenty of material from which to secure rather interesting meetings. These energetic spirits came to- gether at the Chess Club eager for a brush with one another-and frequently they came together with almost explosive violence. 1 have seen debates at the Chess Club meetings more intensely and more earnestly pursued than any which 133 i THE GREEN BAG have been held before the literary associations for a long time. Parties were rapidly formed, and in their constant struggle to overcome one another there was developed a knowledge of parliamentary law and a shrewdness in its use which only personal interest of a most intense nature will foster. These encounters were nearly always accompanied by a spirit of good will, and I retain many strong recollections of the flush of party victory as well as the chagrin of party defeat. This situation of affairs was to my mind not a small part of the benefit to be derived from membership in the Club. ' Since the decline of the general Chess enthusiasm, the College Club has with- drawn its interests entirely within its own circle. It is true that several of the alumni members tried to organize an alumni Chess club, but personal ill feeling among them prevented the accomplishment of this object-a fact to be regretted. There seems to be a returning wave of Chess enthusiasm, and it is the hope of those who did so much to put. the College Chess Club among the prominent clubs of the city that those who are to continue the work will take advantage of the re- turning interest. It goes without saying that all of us stand ready to assist whenever our assistance is needed. Thus, in viewing the past, we have hopes for the future. I believe that the foundations were well laid.

Raddatz, under whose supervision it made a fair start in its li' musical life. A few years later Professor Raddatz obtained the l services of Prof. QI. H. Deems, through whose efficient instruc- tion the society rose to brilliancy and sang at many of the com- mencements, reflecting much credit on their instructor, the school and themselves. In IQOI l'rofessor Deems resigned, which caused the disbanding of the club. At the end of that year Professor Soper ob- tained the services of Mrs. Doane, and, through strenuous practice, the club was again able to sing at the commencement. True, not so good as it had done in former yearsg but, then, if the serious lack of practice be taken into consideration, that can be readily overlooked. Miss Helen Place, Superintendent of Music in the public schools, came to us in TQO2. Through her energy the club was reorganized and placed on a sounder foo-ting than ever before. No work was done in public that year, but she gave the club a thorough training, which it sadly needed. Last year Miss Place started the society with an earnestness and vim that aroused its twenty-odd members to a serious realization of what might be accomplished in the line of vocal improvement. New music was bought and they were drilled and practiced with great regularity. As a result, the club sang at several of the entertainments at the college given by the Bancroft and Carrollton-VVright Literary Societies during the year, and early in the spring attacked with vigor the beautiful music furnished by the School Board for the commencement exercises. Again the Glee Club's fond hopes were rudely crushed. There being two classes to graduate, owing to a previous change in the curriculum from live to four years' course, there was a serious clash of rivalry between the members of the respective classes as to which should have the services of the Glec Club at the commencement T37 THE GREEN BAG, exercises. The membcrhip of the club was nearly equally divided between the two classes, and this added to the difficulty. The result: They sang at neither. As the society thus sadly broke up for the year it was learned that its capable leader and instructor, Miss Place, had resigned. and so the club was again left to its fate. There being but two members of the original society remaining, it was hardly thought possible, in this chaotic state of affairs, to reorganize. just as oblivion seemed certain Prof. A. Z. lflartman came to the rescue. Calling on one of the remaining members late in November he gave notice that the Teachers' Mutual .llenefit Association was to give its annual bazaar and supper on February IO and ll of the coming year, and that the committee in charge was asking the Glee Clubs of the Eastern and Western High Schools, together with those of the Polytechnic Institute and City College, to participate in a singing contest to be given, partly as a drawing card and partly, perhaps, to show what musical advance- ment was being made in the public schools. . . You see, Mr. Hartman, said the somewhat startled member when he heard the news, there is no Glee Club at the College, and, besides, all the boys spoken to about its reorganization take it as a great joke, this idea of a crowd of obstrep- erous songsters singing in real earnest. VVell, replied the professor, get the young men together and see what you can do. lf you need any more particulars, let me know. And that is how it became again, drawn in, as it were, by a net, and forced to hold up the honor of the City College against the Female High Schools. It was no idle job. First, we had to get together those that could and would sing. Then our l'resident, M r. Soper, had to be interviewed as to the use of the Assembly Hall, Sze., Sze.. Sze., and lastly was the obtaining of our instructor. This was Miss lilaker, who took our raw recruits in hand and drilled them with such vigor that they soon forgot that they had joined for fun and began earnest and conscientious work. As the date for the contest approached it was learned that the committee in charge of the singing had agreed to eliminate any judging or giving of prizes. Nevertheless, Miss l-laker kept us up to a high tension, and the result was we sang our best and won the cup. lflut so did all the rest who took part, for each club was presented with a dainty little loving cup, suitably engraved, as a souvenir of the evening and in recognition of their services. This was a sur- prise to all concerned and did much in the way of making the event memorable. The Glee Club is now looking forward to the bright prospect of singing at the commencement in june, and if matters keep up as cheerful an aspect as they have of late there is no likelihood of any more Sloughs of Despair. 138 u-wg -IZl 'l?.C7U-IQIJZ I-IP gl ..

THE GREEN BA-G INSTRUMENTAL CLUB niavifi-T5 mag N education, in order to be complete, must not only embrace a knowledge of the humanities, of the various arts and sciences w and mathematics, but it must also entail that which will tend to up bring out esthetic characteristics in relief. An education which results in only a cranium filled with what is popularly known as learning is about as much good to its possessor as the potato which had grown up in a bottle: A A young potato once decided to do- something which would distinguish him from his wart-covered brethren, and decided to crawl into a narrow-necked bot- tle which the plowboy had turned under. His friends advised him against it, but he was inexorableg he worked himself into the narrow neck and found it quite comfortable and snug inside. There he would lie and look with a deprecating and pitying air at his fellow beings. At last, however, he began to get so large that his quarters became uncomfortable and he desired to crawl out-this he found impossible. Finally the time came for hoeing. VVhen the farmer came to this potato he was so struck with the phenomenon that he laid it aside and took it home to his wife. The latter put it into the parlor as a curio, and here it lay for many years, dried up and useless, while his poor, wart-covered and gnarled brethren served their purpose to mankind. I repeat that noi education is com- plete unless it develops our esthetic faculties, and what is better suited for this purpose than music? As necessary as a literary, a scientific or an athletic asso- ciation is to a college, so necessary is a musical society, and that is the end which the lnstrumental Club of the City College serves. The Club, at once the youngest and most enterprising of the munerous socie-- 141 -Xxx' THE GREEN BAG ties at the College, was founded during the scholastic years 'Ol-'O2. From the start it has shown a remarkable advance and has risen from an unassuming or- ganization of some eight or ten violins to the pretentious orchestr'a of numerous and varied instruments: indeed, it is exceedingly doubtful if any other college in the country contains a larger one. There have been a number of excellent per- formers on the different instruments--both string and wind-students of the best masters-enrolled as members. In company with the literary societies of the college the Instrumental Club has given for the past four years a series of entertainments. These entertain- ments atford an opportunity for the parents of the respective students to see what their sons are accomplishing. That the Instrumental Club's efforts are ap- preciated is evinced by the applause they receive, and consequently the encores they are forced to give. Besides their performances at the College, the Club is always willing to lend a helping hand for Sweet Charity's Sake aswell as to churcltes. .During the year they are often called upon to officiate at different entertainments given by cliurches as well as charitable organizations, and they have never been known to refuse their aid when it has been desired. From the foregoing it will have been determined that the Club has, during its short career, been a signal success. llesides affording an esthetical educa- tion to the student, it also serves as a medium for social intercourse. From the arguments supra it will be readily admitted that, instead of a foolish and unnecessary waste of time, a musical organization after the nature of the ln- strumental Club is an essential factor in the education of the American youth, and hence its presence is most necessary in any institution of learning.

THE GREEN BAG THE CONTEST OR the past twenty-four years it has been the custom of the two literary societies of the College to engage in an annual contest in debate, declamation and essay writing. The Contest, was first suggested by Professor Wight, late head of the English de- partment at the College. He animadvertcd that if competition gave life to trade, why should it not give longevity to literature? There was, however, a serious impediment to such a course- there existed but one literary society in the College. M r. VV,ight overcame this difficulty by organizing the Carrollton Society, the present Carrollton-VVight. This he did in 1878, and two years later we see the first contest. The first contest, like the first Continental Congress, was an unassuming afi'air- the attendance, including the members of the respective societies, did not exceed more than fifty persons-but, like that august body. it has grown, and now it is considered nothing short of a failure if an attendance of eight hundred persons is not had. The twenty-fourth annual contest excelled all others, both Financially and lit- erarily, every seat on the first fitoor being sold, as well as those on the second The contest is necessarily a purely college affair, and we can seldom find any per- son among the audience who is not either in some way connected with the College, or the students of the College. An audience of this nature will sympathize more with the spirit of the con- testants than one composed purely of outsiders and strangers. There were a num- ber of gray-haired old men-former students of the College and members of the societies-who entered into the spirit of the contest with the same feeling as the students, and, for the time being, all other matters were laid aside except the thought, VVho will be victorious, and who vanquished FH The opening address is noted for having been the only one in which the simile of the fighting -knights was omitted. T-he Opening Address and thc Vale- 145 THE GREEN BAG dictory Address hold the first place for boredom, no matter when and where they are delivered. Last year's add1'ess caused no drop in the stock. The debate was probably the most interesting part of the program. lt had been a disputed point the entire year as to who would capture the medal. The Bancroft was represented by Mr. Charles Smith, an old war-horsef' and they were probably a little more positive than the Carrollton, the latter being represented by Mr. William Curran. a novice in debate but senex in b1'ain matter. Neither society, however, was willinglto grant the other the benefit of the doubt, and thus matters stood until the third of june. i Mr. Smith delivered an excellent lecture on the Negro Question, but veered entirely from his subject, and his opening address was entirely lacking in points. M r. Curran in his opening speech was worse. if possible, than Mr. Smith, but this may be attributed to nervousness, this being his first appearance on the stage. ln his rebuttal M r. Smith seemed to take a very peculiar view of the question and tried to prove his conclusion by basing his minor premise on a false major premise. Every person in the audience who had any knowledge of the rules of debate saw that lil r. Smith had lost his points and. consequently, his debate. Mr. Curran, on the contrary, improved wonderfully in his rebuttal, becoming clearer. more concise and fluent in his arguments. He took for his major premise facts from the United States Department of the lnteriorf' and for his minor premise existing circumstances, and his conclusions were easily proven. The result was a great surprise to the members of the Bancroft as well as a sore defeat. X The next head was the contest in declamation. The 'Bancroft was represented by Messrs. Maas and lvlanning and the Carrollton-VVight by lXf'lessrs. VVegefarth and Singewald. The selections declaimed were, beyond a doubt, the best ever heard in any one contest, and the manner of declamation was such that the judges were unable to come to a definite agreement for some time. After the third bal- loting the medal was awarded to Mr. VVegefarth, of the Carrollton-VVight, thus giving the latter society the victory of the contest. . - The essay medal was awarded to Mr. Hollander, of the Iiancroft, the subject of his essay being a criticism of Milton's l'aradise Lost. The honor is all the more augmented when it is remembered that lVlr. Hollander is but the second member of the Bancroft to whom the essay medal has been awarded, all the rest having been won by members of the Carrollton-VVight. The medals, which are awarded 'for debate and declamation, were originally 146 THE GREEN BAG offered by the late Professor Wiglit. Upon the demise of the latter, Profeiasor Arthur, the present incumbent of the English department, continued to offer the medals, which have since been known as the Arthur Medals. The Essay or Morgan lvledall' is offered by Professor lvlorgan, formerly professor of English but now of the Latin department of the College. The above medals are open to joint competition between the members of the two societies only. Besides these three medals there are distributed at the contest four other medals. which are open to the several members of the respective societies only. They are, in the lflancroft, the Sheridan and .I'lobbs ltledals. which are given, respec- tively, for declamation and extemporaneous speaking. and in the Carrollton-Nvigln the Carrollton and lNfIiller Medals, also for excellence in declamation and ex- temporancous speaking. The play. which is always a striking feature of the contest, was more so than ever this year. The cast, chosen from members of the two societies. very aptly portrayed their parts: indeed, it is doubtful if professional actors could have done better under similar circumstances. The play, Pro Tern. a three-act comedy by I-3. C. L. Griffith, was staged by M r. Gardiner, a very able stage manager, who has been in the employ of the contest com1nittee for many years. The plot was very simple and the audience appreciated every different turn the climax assumed. A spinster aunt of Bessie Shepherd, the heroine of the play, decides to write ia treatise on something-anything. just so she can have some- thing to do in order to vary the monotony-and advertises for an anianucnsis. A young man answers the advertisement and is accepted. He afterward turns out to be the son of a millionaire who had fallen in love w'itl1 Bessie the summer before at a watering place, but had been rejected by the latter because he had no definite aim in life. lt appears that he answered the advertisement merely for the purpose of telling the idol of his heart that he had a position. Now, Mr. Shepherd has decided that Bessie shall marry Oscar VValcott, his nephew and her cousin. She does not love Oscar because he is a chappie. and Oscar does not love her because he is in love with Lena llailey, her friend. lX'l.r. Shepherd, how- ever, is inexorable and tells Oscar he has to propose to his cousin. Oscar is afraid of his uncle and reluctantly consents. llessie naturally refuses him. to his joy and her amusement. Oscar then straightway proposes to Lena and is accepted. 147 THE GREEN BAG Meanwhile, .llessie meets the private secretary, and is somewhat taken aback at first on seeing a man of his position and wealth holding such a lowly position, but he explains it by telling her that he has lost his fortune, and hence is com- pelled to work for a livelihood. She is overjoyed at finding him with some definite aim in life now, and, upon his proposing to her, accepts. He then asks her father for the daughteris hand, but Shepherd refuses him on the ground that he cannot support a wife on such a meagre salary. The private secretary then explains his true position in life and is accepted at once. Thus the scene closes with Bessie and Lena each plus aliusbancl and Ratchel minus a secretary. The play abounds in ludicrous positions occasioned by the love troubles of Oscar and Mr. Leslie, the private secretary. Mr. Shepherd. as portrayed by Mr. Louis I. Wilcox, gave a very good idea of a calculating merchant on the lookout for a wealthy husband for his only daughter. Mr. Diffenbach, as Oscar Walcott. would have been a close second to the late Mr. Stuart Robson's Bertie in The Henriettaf' while George P. Raleigh made an excellent study as the hero and lover, as did Mr. Roycroft in the villain doctor, who tries to poison the wife of Mr. Shepherd in order that he might receive the hand of Bessie. It is needless to say that he is thwarted in his designs by the hero. Miss Mabel Fallon, from the graduating class of the Eastern Female High School. did a very creditable por- trayal of the invalid, and, consequently crabid, wife of Raymond Shepherd, and Miss Dorothea Heitmueller, o-f the Latin School, as the heroine, was paramount. Miss Julia Rowe would have done credit as the old maid in any company of pro- fessional actorsg indeed. it is questionable i-f any other amateur could have taken the part at allg and last. but not least, Miss Nannie Norris, as the coy young sem- inary girl in love with a blunclering and clumsy chappie, excellently translated her part. As will be divined, the entire east was very aptly chosen and that they. in turn, did their parts exceedingly well. During the entire year the students look forward to 'the contest, and the few weeks preceding it are ones of intense excitement and interest to the members of the two societies. ln conclusion, it should be stated that a most impartial decision has been ren- dered by the judges. so that our college motto, Palmam qui meruit feratf' has never been in danger of contamination. 148 f 1 W f F. 95 5552 , m E' 12 k jk U lf' y 5' .ulh M.

'W THE GREEN BAG THE SERIAL ENTERTAINMENTS 7141 ,..,,. vii HE serial entertainments have been so remarkably successful this year that it has been deemed proper to' perpetuate their memory by a short article in the GREEN IQAG. Knowing as we do that 3 this wonderful book of achievements will be forever in the hands T , of our friends and their descendants, we could think ot no place --t-' ' ' i more proper to put on record our endeavors in the art of enter- taining. The purpose of this article is not to eulogize the series of entertainments, for that is unn.ecessary, nor to criticise, for that cannot be properly done, but merely to keep fresh and green in our memories those times of youthful enjoyment. ' For the past four years the two literary societies, in conjunction with the lnstru- mental Club of the College, have been giving a series of entertainments. As can readily be seen, these entertainments, besides affording an excellent medium for social intercourse, tend to give the members an excellent training in the histrionic arts. lt furthermore enhances their aesthetic education, and, finally, it gives the' parents of the respective students an opportunity to see what their sons are accom- plishing. Now, any one of these results could well be taken for an argument for the furtherance and continuance of the entertainments, but when the entire and full result is considered there can be no reason or doubt but that each student should devote his attention and aid to their welfare. And, generally speaking, this is the case. , The first entertainment was scheduled for Friday evening, November 18, 1904. The committee was beset on all sides for tickets. 'Ilhey gave until they could give no more, and then they were insulted by inquiries after the graft they were supposed to receive. In vain they tried to explain that graft was an unknown thing to members of this committee and existed only in the imagination. Finally, after trying every other expedient, they found comfort in that much abused quo- tation of .Iohnny's, Let the heathen rage and the people imagine' a vain thing. At last the night arrived. The crowds thronged to the City College, and by the time of starting the hall was filled to overflowing. The ushers became excited and t ' l ua but with the help of lvlein I-lerr everythine' was righted in time. go mixer 1, ' M 1 g As on all great occasions at this institution, .President Soper made the opening address. .lie stepped forward to the center of the platform amid great rounds of applause. tHe is always greeted tilllS.J He entertained his audience with pleas- 151 THE GREEN BAG ing little anecdotes and reminiscences and sustained his reputation as a wit. One joke, however, is remembered above all others, and, although it is not of the kind that usually find their way in these pages, as the joke is on- the boys and not on the teacher, we can not forbear repeating it: A professor fwhom for convenience we will call jonesj once posted the following notice on his lecture room door: 'Prof. jones will meet his classes at 2 P. MY Some 'jocose youths' came along and erased the 'c' in 'classes,' so that it read, 'Prof jones will meet his lasses at 2 P. MY The next person to happen along was Prof. jones himself, who, catching the humor of the situation, proceeded to obliterate the 'l.' Here President Soper 'kindly changed the subject. The remainder of the program was executed successfully, the few blunders only adding zest to the merriment. The second entertainment was notable for one thing in particular: It was the initiation of our new curtain. The curtain we had longed for and begged for had at last become a reality, mainly through the help of President Soper. it is truly a beautiful curtain and was admired by everyone attending the entertainment, and it was a source of envy to a number of the young ladies, whose schools are not so fortunate as ours. This entertainment was as successful as the first and was possibly an improvement. At any rate, everyone enjoyed it, if we can judge from the applause. Let us here take the opportunity of thanking those obliging young ladies who helped us so efficiently in our entertainments. Young ladies are essential to the success of almost every project, and in our feeble language it is impossible to express our appreciation for their assistance. We are sure that we are indebted exceedingly to them. for whatever claim we may have to success. Of course, all of our entertainments were successes, each o-ne having a pm-ticu. lar feature of enjoyment. The College has cultivated a rare taste for good enter- taimnents, and also a wonderful talent has shown itself among many of the mem- bers, which has not only made, all these evenings very pleasant and much enjoyed, but also very profitable to those who have taken the different parts so well. Outside of the committee very few know of the trials and tribulations that beset the path of amateur theatricals. lf we were to endeavor to enumerate half of them here it would spoil whatever good effect this poor article might otherwise have, and probably discourage these serials in the future, which it is far from our purpose to dog for although there are a great many things which do not go exactly right and there is a great deal of work attached, nevertheless the unwritten law of these societies has always been to stick to a thing and colnquer in the end. Great credit is undoubtedly due to the way in which the serials have been con- ducted and carried on during the past year. May their success always be as great and their benefits as numerous. We feel assured they will, and, in passing, have our best wishes with those who are to carry on the work. 152 'wif Sxfffggifww uu mx jigjyf 23? y Q5 761 Q if l MWLW QV A Mt QP N ,fb L on XVEQE Y wifi, if THLETUQ VW .

THE GREEN BAG ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ROM time immemohrial the gymnastics of tlIe body have ever been attended to with the same assiduousness as those of the llllllfl. The Spartans particularly paid special attention to the body, and while the Athenians paid possibly a little ll'lOl'C attention to mind culture, nevertheless they did not totally neglect it. During the : 'A ' Q ' period which followed the 'Fall of the VVestern limpire until the Renaissance little or no attention was paid to the mind, while all was given to physical development. This was probably the' worse extreme. In these days of Pan--Hellenic revival a golden INCZUI is adopted, and a college or university is judged by its physical as well as by its psychological curriculum. lt is reasonable to suppose that a college that does not encourage athletics is not on so good a standing as one which does. The foremost seats of learning all over the world have recognized this and, as a result, have striven not only to encourage physical development but also demand it. According to their reasoning, and that rightly, a person who is but mentally developed is no better off than another who is but physically developed. ln other words, the old adage All work Zlllfl no play makes jack tlIe dull boy is beginning to be recognized as a theorem in educational circles-no less llllPOl'lQ3.lll than rules showing teachers how to teach Latin grammar. For the last four years athletics have beeII given great attention at the College- if not by the faculty as a unit, at least by some few of the morebroad-niinded and less erratic gentlemen. The students, however, are the OITCS deserving of all praise? lt is due to them that the teams are supported, that coaches are obtained, that suits are bought-l say it is due to them alone that there exists anything resem- bling athletics at the College. Up to some years ago, before the organization of the Athletic Association, teams llOllllllE1llllQ' themselves as legitimate College teams. went into the field, half the time with less t.lIan 0110-lQl1ll'll of their number bona fide lll6llllJf?l'S of the College, suitered terrible defeats and drew dishonor on their Alma 155 THE GREEN BAG Mater generally. Not one member of the faculty offered a helping hand, and the boys stumbled on. Uut they were not to stumble on forever: the smallest chil- dren learn to walk without aid and this they did. T-hey have been Walking some eight years alone now and expect to, continue to do so for many more to come. At the present time the Athletic Association has an enrollntetttg of about two hundred and fifty members. The individual members have not the right of voting on all questions. Delegates to the lloard of Governors are elected from the several years, the number in proportion to the rank of the class at the College, and this lfloard attends to all the business of the Association. The individual members, however, elect the officers, managers, Sze., by direct vote. As can be seen, a much better result may be attained by the united action of the liloard of Governors than by a canvass of two hundred-and-odd individual members. As a matter of fact, actual experience has proven that this is the best method. At the present time the exchequer is in a better condition than it has ever been, the teams are doing better work, and there seems to be a greater interest displayed generally by the' entire College than was ever noted before. VVe can be nothing short of proud of our several teams. Indeed, it is hard for us to refrain from becoming bombastic when telling of their exploits, for, with one or two exceptions, there is not a team which is not the champion in its own class. To encourage victory the Association gives to the teams and to the best athletes in the College the much prized lil, This, as perhaps the reader may be acquainted with, is not given for mere popularity. The aspirant must not only have done praiseworthy work, but he must also have done it fairly. The lil committee then recommends the name of the aspirant to the lioard of Governors, and that ,body gives extraordinary attention to the matter, and if in their eyes the person is worthy of the honor he is awarded it. Next as an honor is the small ll, This is, of course, but a secondary honor: nevertheless, even at that, it is much prized and sought after. Finally, athletics have, in spite of opposition and discouragement, at last become firmly rooted in the College and through the students' own perseverance obtained a reputation to be proud of: and now, backed as it is by its members both in spirit and finance, who mean to uphold the standard so hard to gain, it is safe to vouchsafe that the ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION of the future will be even greater than that of the past and present.

This can be attributed to the early start and to the hard practice of the first few weeks. Expecting an easy victory over the lloys' Latin School. which had not as yet made a good showing, little attention was given to practice, and as a result the College lost Q6-55. Although we came within three yards of winning the game, and on the whole gained more ground than the Latin School, we lost. Why? The Latin School had an expert coach 'who was with them every practice and trained them to perfect condition. The City College, on the other hand. was only coached when llflessrs. Eichelberger or King could spare the time. Dieting was not thought of. Thus. only by brilliant individual play did the College give the Latin School so close a rub. Wliat has been said of the Latin School game applies to the game with the second team of Tome Insti- tute. The brilliant individual play of the backs in the second half almost won the game, in spite of the superior team work and play of the institute team. The great game of the season was now on with the Polytechnics--the rival public high school of the city. Here was a team that had had no greater oppor- tunity 'than the College, and the result would undoubtedly show which had the better material. The College won, 6-o. The last game of the season was with the Marstons. No school had practiced harder or had had better coaching than this. The victory of the College was a conclusive proof that, despite the lack of team work and coaching, the City College boys were an aggregation of FOOT- BALL PLAYERS and that they needed something more than the ordinary diffi- culties to daunt them. Tly winning the last two games the College gained the lnterscholastic cham- pionship of the city, and with it, of course, a handsome banner to grace the walls ofthe trophy room. ln the name of the team and of the school the GREEN l-BAG takes this opportunity to thank the coaches for their ready and timely assistance, and hopes that with a regular coach the team of 1905 may achieve as great success as has been by that of 1904. i Season of 1904.

For the last three years this game has l T Grf gfgr, steadily grown in popularity in the school until now it has reached that stage at which nothing mo1'e can be hoped for. This remarkable growth can only be attributed to one cause. it and that is the fitness of the game. - ia ' 4 Last season, unider the able leadership of Captain S. F. Nor- wood, the team made an enviable record for itself by defeating all of the teams played. T-he First of these was the Thistles, an aggregation from the preparatory schools of the city. who went down to defeat by the score of I3 to 1 at llruid l-lill l'ark. Although the College boys were sure of winning the game, the large score rolled up proved a surprise even to the most sanguine. , The next game was with the Mount VVashington Club, of Mount XNashington. The team and rooters of the College were not so sure of the results of this game. but all went out with high hopes and the determination to do their best. The game was close and the result was in the balance almost to the last, when the faster work and the superior training of the collegians began to tell on their heavier opponents, so that when the whistle blew the score stood 5 to 3 in favor of the College. lt was a happy lot of fellows that went home, rejoicing to such an extent as to refuse to pay toll for the four-horse 'bus in which they rode. Then came the game of the season-the game with the llopkins Scrubs. The previous year two games had been played and each team had won one. and now the time had come to prove the championship. The day was clear and a tremen- dous erowd was on' hand to witness the game. VVhen the first half ended the score stood 2 to 1 in favor of the College. All 163 THE GREEN BAG the men felt satisfied that the game was theirs, but only with the most strenuous efforts and the determination to win, did they go into the second half, which was so hotly contested that each side scored a point, giving the College a victory of 3 to 2. The record made by the City College is an enviable one and one .of which all should be proud. Every one of the teams played was composed of men who were our equals, andin some eases our superiors, as far as stick work is concerned, but the conscientious, persistent and dogged practice of the team, coupled with the valuable coaching and kindly interest extended to the squad by the J. H. U., brought the desired results. Too much cannot be said for the game. It is not only beautiful to look upon. but it also keeps the nerves wrought up to the highest pitch of excitement through- out its entire duration. T-his is what the American loves best, and for that reason in particular, among many others, it bids fair to climb to tlie top of all our American games. :s: a: ra: as :t: -1: ra: :i: :sz ri: The Lacrosse team of this season CIQOSJ has surpassed all expectations. Up to date it has held the Hopkins Varsity down to a tie score and defeated the Uni- versity of Virginia with a score of 6-O, and the Mount Wasliiiigtoti team, which is composed of veterans of former crack teams. such as Hopkins, Swarthmore and the Famous Crescent Club of New York. What will yet be done by the wonderful aggregation of ours is a question: but if the boys keep together as they have up to this time a most successful career can be predicted. Season of 1904.

DAVIS, Pap filv-52.3 Uv!-,il RUIIAULY never before in the history of the athletics at the City College has a Track Team been so successful as the one which now represents the school. Last Fall, owing t.o the graduation of the entire relay team. as well as several good individual men, everyone thought that 1.-54 ,Massa the team which would represent the school this year would be ' a poor one. And well might they think so, for, without a single old relay man and no good material in sight, prospects looked very blue indeed for a good one. Notwithstanding all this, the few fellows that remained worked with a vim thatwas surprising and bore themselves nobly in the lllunicipal Games on September 12. Duker captured the 220 yard dash with a very small handicap. beating some of the city's cracks The broad jump was easily won also from r , ... . -Q - I ' M . .. I' ' JL AQ!

Riley won second place in the high jump, clearing the bar at 5 feet 6j4 inches and breaking the College record. T-he other City Col- le 'e entrants also bore themselves well, but, owing to small handica ms, they were N . unable to secure places. Soon after school had commenced the liflanager and Captain were elected and the team began training in earnest. Prospects were still further brightened by the 'entrance of several good runners from outside schools into the College. About the middle of December an invitation was received from Washington, to participate in the Washin'gton .interscholastic Games. After Christmas systematic training was begun, the relay team was picked, and all looked forward with excitement and expectation to these games. Will the relay team make good? NVhat will our individual men do? These and many other questions were asked by the collegians. Uur team was pitted against the Drexel Institute, .l'olys and the Georgetown Preps. With intense excitement we awaited the call for our race Already our individual men, in the face of great odds, had swept things before 167 1 THE GREEN BAG them. Breyer had won the 1nile in the fast time of 5.15, just beating Brenton, who set the pace for ten laps, by about ten yards. Riley had cleared the bar with the win- ning jump of 5 feet gk inches. How our hearts thumped as the call was made for our race! 'NVQ must win, said the members of the relay team to one another. Davis, the first runner for our school, gave Duker a lead of two yards. Duker increased the lead to eight. Gutman added five more, and as Zeigler breasted the tape with a wonderful burst of speed, winning by twenty yards, a mighty shout went up. Rickety-Rex was given with a will, and everywhere could be heard the comment that the City College race was the best of the meet. Our next opponent was the Boys' Latin School. Under the careful training of Dr. Born they had developed some good men and were out for our scalpsf' as they expressed it. Our first. man-Duker-was out of condition, and at the finish was three yards in the rear of the Latin School runner. Porter, our next man, ran a beautiful race and passed his man, who stumbled and fell just as Porter was passing him, marring an otherwise fine race. The race was now easy for us. Gutman kept his lead, and as Ziegler crossed the line a winner our cohorts could hardly be restrained. At last we had won from our old rivals! More surprise was in store for us. Davis knocked records right and left as he gave a leap of 22 feet 524 inches, defeating Hill, Hopkins' crack, by nearly a foot. Had' Captain Davis jumped one inch farther he would have established a new worlcl's inter- scholastic record. Breyer ran a splendid race, finishing third in the mile, which was run in very fast time. Riley also secured third place in the high jump, breaking the College record with a jump of 5 feet 6M inches. After an interval of two weeks the boys again went into harness for the Georgetown Games. Here we were pitted against the interscholastic champions of the South-the Central High School of Washington. The race was one of the most brilliant that was ever witnessed in CONVENTION HALL. Davis ran first and was two feet behind Kent when they finished. Gutman neither lost nor gained on his man. Now was the time for the City College to win, if ever! Away Hew Duker, gaining inch by inch, and crossed the line neck and neck with the Central man. Our last man was Ziegler, and he was up against it, so to speak. No other than Cook was his opponent. Neck and neck they raced for a lap and a half, but the terrible strain showed on Ziegler,-who gamely stuck to the race, being beaten by about two feet. lt was a grand race, and it will be with pleasure only that the fellows will look back on their race with the Champions of the South. In the individual events Breyer ran a good race, securing third place in the mile. The fellows are now resting preparatory to the Spring games, in which, according to all indications, they should bring credit to themselves and the old school. However they may conduct themselves, let me add, the work of the T-rack Team has so far been most glorious, and that the track teams of the future may be as successful as the Track Team of 1905 is the sincere wish of the MANAGER. 168 69 ff' ix 5.5 f -A I La! fe A. f' 1 .

ISAYAIHJ 'I'AYl.UlL Cnptnln Jr,-uf' avant ASEBALL, like Lacrosse in Canada, is the national game of the bn H- QI United States. At once the most exciting and scientific of all athletic games, it is sure to draw a large crowd whenever played. lt lglllmi fl Nor are the students of the College prone to this inherited .love fy ,fx xl, of baseball. lf a crowd be wanting at any other game, it is l-l fi-l always sure to be in extra attendance whenever a game of ball is known to be scheduled. lf a crowd be quiet at any other game. it is sure to awaken and demonstrate with the utmost voeiferous acclamation their approval or disapproval of the plays which their favorites may make. Although the majority of the other athletic games, e. g., Lacrosse, llasketball, Football, Sze., have been instituted at the College of late years, there has always existed one or more baseball nines. Some of the professional players of today at one time wore the oriole colors of the City College nine : nor have these old players forgotten their first nine, judging from the encouragement received from them from time to time. Now, although these former nines ever brought credit to their Alma Mater. it must he admitted that men were accounted as members of the team who were not bona Bde students of the Co-liege. ln those good old days such commonplace matters were overlooked, and hence what would probably incur expulsion of the College from the lnterscholastic Association, was than looked upon as a matter of little moment. At the present time, under the stringent management of the Board of Governors, no man is allowed to enter the field unless he is a member of both the Association and the school. U The record of the season '04 has proven that as much may be 'accomplished by clean playing as by crooked, and so may all athletics be ever conducted at the College. When one casts an eye over the excellent work do-ne by our 'Baseball team this season, he cannot but have the most sanguine hopes for our future suc- cess in that direction. It is true that we did not even win a majority of the games playedg but when we consider that among our opponents we numbered such strong at .agglv -L ---zniutx? ' 171 '. K. . s THE GREEN BAG teams as Rock Hill College, Alexandria High School, Mount St. lXflary's and Fortress Monroe, then it begins to dawn on one that it was really remarkable for us to win as many games as we did. The total number of games played was thir- teen, and out of these we captured six. In the city itself there was no question as to our superiority over the various college and prep school teams that opposed us. We went straight through the line without a single defeat. The College of Physicians and Surgeons were the nrst to be beaten fscore I7 to 135 : then the Polytechnics followed suit fI7 to 61, and finally hlarstons ended the slaughter by the close and exciting score of 21 to 6. Truly a record of which one might be proud! As might be expected, our schedule away from home did not prove so successful. Unluckily, our first game of the season-that with Rock Hill-turned out to be a bad defeat. and it was feared that this early setback might put a damper on the team's work. Undauntecl, however, the boys pulled together, and, though soon defeated again by the Alexandria High School, nevertheless they gave the South- erners a tough struggle and were only vanquished by the close score of 4 to 2. By this time, however, our team had struck its gait, and from then till the end of the season we won a majority of the games played. A glance at the schedule will show a most creditable record on the part of- the College. ' The present team is doing excellent work. Up to date they have won five con- secutive games-Senior Class, Revenue Cadets. Milton Academy, Polytechnic and lllarstons. Besides this excellent work they have captured the Interseholastic llanner and bid fair to win the City Championship. The line-up up to date is: C. Weyforth, c. C. White and L. Brittinghani, p. '1'.

Krieger. elected captain last season, is a veteran at the sport and an excellent man for the position he plays-centre. Keiningham, the left forward, is also an old hand at the game, and the remarkable work he has done in his position has elicited much applause. The position of right forward isrilled by Dew, a freshman, who, by his proficiency in this line. came quickly to the front and won a place on the team. The positions of right and left guards are ably taken care of by ls'or1'er and Grauer, respectively. and more than once their quickness saved a goal from being' scored upon our team. An able substitute indeed is Urittingham, the captain of the junior team, and-when called into play quickly shows how proficient he is. The team picked and several weeks devoted to hard practice in shooting, passing 175 THE GREEN BAG and trick plays, Manager Keiningham announced the first game for October I4, to he played with the Arions. a team of former City College students. That our team was far beyond the novice stage was forcibly demonstrated by their playing on that day and the score they rolled up on their opponents-48 to 7. Quite a good beginning, eh? The large attendance and the enthusiastic way in which each good play was applauded showed the interest taken in the game and that the team would not lack rooters during the season. The next game played was with the Johns Hopkins University Freshmen, who went to defeat to the tune of 58 to 4. As soon as our team was decidedly in the lead, affairs took a peculiar turn. Wishing. to save themselves for their future struggles, our men relaxed a bit, trying their new tricks and passing their best. The Freshmen representatives of the il. l-l. Lf. deemed this a disgrace and played their hardest and fiercest to break this proceeding up. lt was of no avail, how- ever, and the wilder they played the more selfspossessed our men became, passing their best and shooting goal almost at will. Hence the score. This game tricd the mettle of our boys and proved it worthy indeed of the trial. On December I7 the first game played away from college-that with the Rock Hill College team-took place. On that eventful Saturday morning our boys set out in a blinding snowstorm for the wilds of Ellicott City, headed by the valiant Captain Krieger. After several hours' terrific battle with the elements the noble, devoted band reached their goal, and then by no means did they stop reaching their goal. They reached it some fifteen times that day. They still firmly believe that it was only the left hind rabbit. foot that llrittingham carried attached to his Satchel that prevented them from becoming lost in that wild, savage region. Dur- ing the game the left hind rabbit foct was again called into requisition, and again did it prove worthy of its proverbial fame. ln vain did the Rock Hill team play their hardest to try to break up our team's splendid passing and goal shooting. Not eve11 could the ins airing rooting of their adherents avail them an thin here 5 5 y gl J 176 I x THE GREEN BAG . i and, consequently. they suffered defeat. The score: 31 to lo. Long live the left hind rabbit foot! Then came the most important game of the season. An interscholastic basket- ball banner had been offered. with Friends School, lVl.arston's University School and the llaltimore City College contesting for it. Friends had defeated lylarstons, and on January 13th our boys arrayed themselves before the victors in their gym. lt is very probable that that hall has never witnessed a more hotly con- tested struggle than it did that afternoon. T-he teams were very evenly matcheC and the winning of the banner was practically decided in the issue of the game. Struggling. sweating, each man at his best, the score was held in doubt until near the sounding of the whistle ending the second half. The Quaker boys were four points ahead before 'the first ll! C. C. goal was made. At the end of the first half the score was tie. Then, in the second half, the orange and black goal was the recipient of quite a number of visits in rapid succession from the ball, which placed these colors well in the lead. Even the fair Quaker rooters in the balcony were forced to applaudxouruboys for the excellent work they did-and who could not play excellently with such a stimulus? With the result of that game-23 to IO--ll1C interscholastic banner seemed well in our grasp, for tas l. have said beforej the Friends had defeated lXflarstons. VVhen, on January 20th, just one week later, the lylarston team was arrayed against our team, their case seemed hopeless, and the first few minutes of play proved that assertion very forcibly. They were allowed only live points, and could hold our boys down to only twenty-nine. Indeed, their chances were so poor that one of their players, after a cast from the foul line, actually put the ball into the basket for us. This game finally decided the interscholastic series, and another banner has gone to decorate our college walls, telling of the prowess of our boys. ' But now I have a sad little tale to tell to close this article, telling of the iglorious successes of our basketball heroes. There is an exception to almost every rule, 177 THE GREEN BAG and, of course, the rule that we should win every basketball game this season was not exempt from its exception. lt happened in Steelton, lla.. where, on january 28th, our team had gone to play that of the Steelton High School. Our boys worked like Trojans to uphold the spotless record of the orange and black- but, alas! the whistle ended the game with the score at 23 to I2 against them. The rules there, were slightly ditterent from those our team had been accustomed to playing under, and then we must take into consideration the great number of fair rooters who rooted, as only the fair sex can, for the Steelton boys, spurring them on to greater and greater efforts. lvlighty is the hand-or rather the tongue-of woman ! VVith this one exception a basketball season has passed unsurpassed by any other in its record, its excellence of work and proficiency of players. As a result of their hardy efforts and good work all the members of the team except Krieger and Porter were awarded the honorary college ll, The two men ex- cepted had already won their B, the former by his excellent Work at the same game during the previous season, and the latter by his work on the track team during his freshman year.

THE GREEN BAG yTE.NNIS TOURNEY do not count the Tennis Tourney of nineteen-four a great success. For this blame is attached to no one. The simple reason is that the project was undertaken too late in the year. The committee was appointediin the latter part of May, about one month before the close of school, and immediately went to work. Their en- ergies were well directed and within a week, entries having been g'otten in, the first game of the Tournament was played. ' it was the intention of those having the affair in charge to have, as usual, two contests, one in singles and one in doubles-a first and second prize to be given in each event. As Hr-st prize in the singles a tennis racket was chosen as most suita- ble. Six lVrigl1t and Ditson Tournament balls were to be given for second honors. In the doubles a jersey to each of the winners and three tennis balls to the two second were the rewards. . - The drawing for the singles went as shown on the opposite page, Clary, Dief- fenbach. Wroe and Fleischmann being lucky enough to get the much wished byes. After the first few matches the winds came and the Hoods descended, delaying: the play for some time, so that it was not until the first part of june that playing was again commenced. The result of the singles tourney was really a foregone conclusion. No dark horse appeared, so Knipp: the holder of the school cham- pionship, was again victor after a hard fought match with Fleischmann. Albert ' 181 f 'I THE GREEN BAG Fleischmann, however, being the last to fall under the champion's racket, was awarded the second prize. lly this time the First days of vacation had almost come: nevertheless, a drawing was made and an effort made to rush the doubles contest through. but without success. Two players, however, Fleischmann and Kreh, had, being' byes, already won a sure second place, so after consideration the second prize was awarded to them. To the other contestants their entrance fees were returned. It was con- sidered rather unfortunate that the tournament had to be broken otif in this abrupt fashion. and it is to be hoped that in coming years, due time will be given for play. llad weather may always be counted on for our tennis tournament, so at least one nionth's earlier start should be made. The Tennis Tournament has been an annual event at the City College, and last ,vear's was but one of many. Following the Colleges example other local prep. schools have held such contests, and it may be hoped that some day an interscho- lastic contest will be a yearly happening. Ile that as it may, in the College, tennis has ardent devotees, and by them the yearly tourney is looked upon as one of the ehief features of the scholastic year.

DAVIS '06, THE GREEN BAG FIELD DAY HE nature of the City College Field Day, or of any field day for that matter, is too well known to need any explanation. lt is sufficient to say that the first field day at our school was held, back in the seventies, at the old school, and since then it has been made an annual feature .of the College year. .Of all athletic fri- - rr 't l. events in the school this is looked forward to with the hvehest interest, for in this meet the personal status of every school athlete is fixed, various class rivalries are decided, and too many other things clone to make mention of them. To the faculty, too, the Field Day is a matter of some importance. and their interest is shown in the substantial way of granting half holidays on the day of the great occasion. That this event is of interest to persons outside of the College needs no saying, for as truly as the year rolls by does a crowd, bright with buntings, waving tlags, and beautiful damselsf, gather to witness the doings of favorites, and individually to cheer on sons, brothers or even sweethearts to utmost exertion. Many also are the medals that become the possession of the fair sex that day. After the glowing picture just set forth the dolorous day of the meet of nine- teen hundred and four will be duly presented, For surely, according to all laws of rhetoric, of Professor Smith, and of lklr. Arthur, the gray hues of our last field day will show in sad contrast to the bright colors of those that have gone before, and the slim crowd of last year be in poor proportion to the merry as- semblies of former times. t ' To begin with, it rained. Not simply a summer shower, but whole buckctsful of good old earth-sogging rain that looked as if it never would stop, and when it did slacken did so with a sort of half-hearted air that gave good warning of more to come. This state of affairs was a sore disappointment to the committee having the matter in charge. To see the conscientious labor of some months transformed .185 I THE GREEN BAG by an overenergetic Dame Nature to little better than nothing, is a rather sorry thing, and this was the cup for the Field Day committee. All arrangements had been mac-le, tickets printed, advertisements posted, medals stamped, half holiday obtained. and everything for a most successful occasion made ready, when by a few ill-timed hours of rain all was made of no account. However, it was too late to postpone the day, so, the weather slightly mitigating in the afternoon, prepara- tions for the occasion were sadly carried on: but where were the bright faces, many flags and sweethearts, mothers or fathers? The question remains unan- swered: truthfully, we can only say that they were not in the grandstand. Some few devoted brethren and ''we'll-stay-by-the-ship'' sisters made their appearance. but it was a pretty damp crowd, nevertheless. Add tow this the fact that the track was so soggy as to be almost unusable and you will easily discover why there was so little enthusiasm and, inspiration being lacking, such poor time on the part of the athletes. .lt was the end of a most successful year for the College, and the runners were all men seasoned to any sort of weather, so the times made could not be worse than fair, but nevertheless it was a drizzly, rainy day and a drizzly. rainy crowd that, in their raincoats and umbrellas, assembled to watch them. The hundred yard was started promptly one hour after time, by the flapping of a handkerchief, instead of a pistol shot. tThe officials, like sugar in the rain, had all melted down to two o-r three determined men that had to combine in their several persons the duties of two d0zen.j After two or three heats, a pistol was obtained and the finals of the hundred run off in good order, making victorious in this event, Padgett, iO4 jr., first: Richardson, '04 jr., second, and Hunter, '04 jr., third. Time, 10.4 seconds. The Field Day includes no 220-yard dash, so after this the quarter-mile was rnn off in good style, the winners being Padgett, O4 Jr., first, .l'lunter, '04 jr.. second, and Richardson, also of the junior graduating class, third. Next, a great event of the day, the mile run, was started. The contestants plodded manfully around the track in the creditable time of 5 minutes 7.4 seconds, with llreyer, '05, first, Stock, '07, second, and Armstrong, '07, third. The next event, a distinctively college feature, the 120-yard lore hurdle, was run off, re- sulting in the victory of Padgett first, Wroe second and Forrester third, all three being members of the junior class. Time, 15.6 seconds. The last of the track events was now on-the two-mile novice race. This event was not a regular feature of the program, but was introduced by the generosity of Nr. Ford Richardson, Class iO4 jr., who, to encourage athletics among the lower classnien, offered a set of medals for the three boys of the freshman year proving themselves best in a two-mile event. Accordingly, this was now run and resulted in the victory of G. Tyler Smith, Z1 novice in running, but a lacrosse iso A x THE GREEN BAG player and a possessor of good, long legs. He made no great effort, indeed walked half a lap, but came in first. The second was ifVilliam lilyers, and the third Arthur Richardson. Time, I4 minutes 2.8 seconds. In the field events, Pumphrey, ,O4 won the shot-put, with Sinskey second and Adams third, both of '04 jr. Distance of put, 36 feet 6 inches. ' The high jump and running hroad were, as always, most interesting, especially to the spectator. ln the high jump, Riley, Class '05, was expected to he Hrst, but this person, the undouhted champion of the school, had injured his thigh and was thus unable to compete.

Davis, '06, with the creditahle jump of 18 feet IOM inches. Forrester, '04 was second, and XVroe. also of '04 third. lt is interesting to note that hoth Riley, in the high, and Davis, in the hroad, have since then proved marked ahilities in their respective events. Riley has hroken the City College record with a jump of 5 feet GM inches, and' is steadily forging on to the lifliddle States record. at present held hy .Xrtlmr Ilulaney at 5 feet llfj inches. Davis, in the broad, has hoth distanced the City College mark and created a new Middle States interscholastic record hy a jump of 22 feet 5M inches. The Loving Cup annually presented hy M r. li. A. Soper to the athlete making the highest individual record at liicld Day was last year awarded to A. R. Padgett. of the junior graduating class. The last event on the program and one of the most exciting is the interclass reiay. Class feeling at the College is always strong, and this is its only chance of outlet. Accordingly, the greatest rivalry is displayed and no effort is considered too great that goes to win such an event. Last year's race, however, was not so interesting as some of previous years have heen. The result was almost a foregone conclusion, and the event, as was expected was easily taken by the '04 junior team. 'llhough expected, this was an especial disappointment to the Class of '05. for ever since their entrance in the College, they had yearly won the nmch contested event. However, it could not he heiped, and this year it is hoped that hetter things may he done. U ' 187 PM w u k fi Q 97 Fl Q? f Y 615:54 M Vx x It . X M . J.

All local prep. schools were invited to join the organization and to send dele- gates to draw up a constitution, and map out the general course of the league. 'I'-he first meeting was held in the City College reception room, and out of the num- ber invited live schools responded by sending delegates. They were the follow- ing: The City College, Deichman's, Friends', Marston's and the Polyteclmic .ln- stitute. These five constituted the principal schools of the city, the only institution of any size not of this number being the lloys' Latin School. Here let it be distinctly said that the Latin School was cordially invited to make up one of the league number, and was only left out by its own wish and upon its own request. In the first year of its existence a football banner and a baseball banner were given, each being won by the City College, and an interscholastic meet was held. This, the first meet, was held in May of nineteen hundred and three, and was a great success. The City College won the greatest number of events, lX'larston's being second with one or two points behind. The next year, nineteen hundred and four, another meet was held, but this, in contrast to the former one, was made open to all comers, and was thus truly an . 191 THE GREEN BAG interscholastic happening. Again it was won by the City College, and this time with more ease than before, since this was a good year for the College and rather an off year for the other schools. The year before interscholastic athletics had had their heyday of glory. Hill, of the College, Dulany, of Marstonfsg the Bay- less boys, of Dunham's, and others of lesser note were making brilliant records for themselves, and in many cases breaking long standing state records. The year after, all these had graduated and gone to other cities, and those left were but a mere ebb of the tide and a lesser reflection of the ones gone before. Indeed, no record, without exception, made-in nineteen hundred and three was broken in the season of one year after, and seldom were the Figures of '03 approached by those of 'o4. However, the interscholastic meet of '04 was sufficiently brilliant and a most successful event, and was well attended. The day was fine, the track in good con- dition, and every circumstance conspired to make the day memorable. The hun- dred-yard dash was run off in good shape and resulted in the victory of F. L. Perce, B. L. S., with J. F. Hunter, H. C. C., second, and A.. R. Padgett, B. C. C.. third. Time, II 2-5 seconds. It was expected that these three would win, but the order in which they came out was a complete surprise. and was indeed exactly the reversal of that anticipated The time in which it was won is also somewhat inexplicable, as Padgett is a to 2-5 seconds man and should be expected to come out better than third in a ll 2-5 seconds race. Hunter was expected to come out as he did, but Perce was a much unexpected dark horse, and darker than he was painted at that. The loo-yard dash, jr.. was won by Roemer, ll. L. S.5 Gutman, lyl. U. S., and Tausky, B. l'. I. 1 The one-mile run proved, as usual, one of the most interesting features of the interscholastic program. It was well run and was won by Frank Breyer, B. C. C.. with VVinchester, F. S., and Brenton, B. C. C., coming in after. Time, 5 minutes 6.4 seconds. The time was rather slow, but since then Breyer has run an indoor mile in the highly creditable time of 5 minutes flat. Wiiicliester was at one time interscholastic state record holder for this distance until Cole, B. C. C., in the first race he ever ran, knocked the chip off his shoulder by three or four seconds or more. ' In the next event, the 220-yard dash, Perce, B. L. S., the winner of the hun- 192 THE GREEN BAG dred, again covered himself with glory and came out on top to the time of 25 2-5 seconds. Padgett, ill. C. C., was second, and .I orter, D. l'.

S., second, and llayless, of the same school. third. The senior interscholastic relay race resulted in the victory of the ll. C. C., hut was not of great interest, as the only opponent of the College, the l'folyteclinic institute, was not in especially good form. and thus made no great showing against it. The track events were now finished. ,ln the field events Riley, ll. C. C.. cap- tured thevhigh jump, with liaily, Country School second, and Wi1'oe, U. C. C.. third. Height of har, 5 feet 5M inches. The broad jump was won by Davis, ll. C. C., hy a jump of 20 feet 8 inches. Stewart, flil. C. C.. was second, and llaily, Country School, third. The shot-put was another College victory, being given to ll-'umphrey on a put of 36 feet. Nelson, ll. li.. S., made a close second, and Eichelberger, ll. C. C., a good third. On adding up the City College victories it was found that more points had been won by that College than any other, so once again the interscholastic champion- ship banner was awarded to them and now graces a place in the Trophy Room of the College.

Eliason, Jr. CThe latter thinks so, at any rateb. This play, as every one should know- for those who did not see it missed awonderful production-this play, I say, was given at Ford's Opera House, Tuesday, December 27th, 1904, andthe press said it was a success. However, since two of the gentlemen who were in the caste were representatives of the pressf a11d were on the committee, you will have to swallow their voluble praise in small doses, and take less than the prescribed quantity. But to go back to beginnings. Tl1e Christmas Play Connnittee was elected by the Class some time about the middle of our Junioryear. The Editors of the GREEN BAG having been elected the week before, a11d the pick'C?D having been taken for those oiiices, there were 110116 left -for the Christmas Play Connnittee but those disappointed in the GREEN BAG election and the riff-raff of the class. Accordingly, a nondescript crowd of individuals to the number of nine was got- te11 together, with Mr. Barker at its head. A few weeks later he resigned, bei11g fortunate enough to withdraw from our noble institution with all its attendant influences, both good and had Cniostly badJ. Mr. Joseph M. Hess, better known 197 THE GREEN BAG as Melancholy, then received the command of this small but strenuous body, and the ball was started. I may be pardoned for digressing here if I say that melancholy was quite appropriate for our chairman. It was an observed fact that the shorter the time for rehearsals grew the more 7llL'fll71ITh0l1' did Mr. Hess become. It was a case of what Prof. Norris and Prof. Miller call inverse ratio. To resume, the committee's meetings started off in great parliamentary shape, such as taking minutes, only allowing one gentleman to speak at a time, etc., etc. How quickly were these beautiful proceedings abolished ! How soon did the meetings become boisterous and pandemonium ! In time they became almost as riotous as the GREEN BAG meetings and Faculty meetings, although not quite. But what more could we expect with two reporters on the committee, especially when one of them writes Whatls doing at the City College? At last we chose our play, about a month later than it should have been chosen, and settled down for rea! work Ca la Docl. Two young ladies were selected, one from the Western and one from the Eastern Female High Schools. Then came rehearsals. Prof. Raddatz very kindly consented to be ichaperon, and attended the rehearsals faithfully, just to hear the same old thing over and over. And those rehearsals in the Assembly Hall! Aided by the kind CD and unso- !1'r1'Iczz' coaching of Mr. Eliason, who took an audible and extensive part in each and every rehearsal, at times even overshadowing Mr. Gardiner himself, the play steadily progressed. The dress rehearsal was like Hamlet with Hamlet left out. There wasn't any dress about it. Finally the eventful day arrived, all too soon for everybody concerned. F ordls was reasonably full, with a very slight sprinkling of the Faculty, almost as slight as hens' teeth. There was the usual bedlam of class yells, cheers, and expres- sions imitating the Faculty, mingled with the vocal sounds usually heard among the denizens of the back-yard fence. On the other side of the curtain it was almost as bad, for nobody knew where anything was. When tl1e curtain rose it discovered to the patiently-waiting audience the inte- rior of a country house and several of the characters. At once were introduced Mr. Bunce, leader of the party, and a crabbed old gentleman, Miss Laura Bunce, his maiden sister of advanced age, Miss Blanche Bunce, his daughter, Mr. Cor- 198 THE GREEN BAG ker, a farmerg Mr. Higgins, a village apothecary, and Felix, a young lawyer and the fiance of Blanche. These persons have been playing cards every night for a year, and owing to the agreement tl1at each should contribute a quarter every night they play, have accumulated quite a fund, which they call the Kitty'. Clfor a'1'ama!ir s1QQ'1zg'!i- vizmv' .wr Prof- -'1rMm'D. They decide to spend the money on a trip to New York, Miss Laura Bunce greatly favoring the project. It seems that she had received an answer to a matrimonial advertisement which she had inserted in a paper. She desires to visit the matrimonial agent and learn her destiny in that line. The second act is laid in a New York restaurant. Here we obtain a fleeting glimpse ofAAdolphus, Corker's son. He soon leaves, and the party from the country arrives, minus Felix, and in great excitement, for they have just wit- nessed a theft'by a pickpocket. They are swindled by the waiter, and upon refusing to pay outrageous prices are arrested and marched away to the police station. When the curtain rises for the third time we find the party before the bar of justice. The captain of police, after a few questions, suspects that they are a band of pickpockets, and prepares to send them to jail. While he leaves the room they try to escape, but in vain, and are caught. They are then taken away to jail, but manage to escape on the way, and proceed to the house of the matrimonial agent, Mr. Matchem. Here, in the fourth act, Mr. Matchem introduces Miss Laura Bunce, much to her disgust, to Mr. Higgins, who had left the party in the restaurant before the arrest had taken place. To placate the lady, Mr. Matchem then introduces her to the captain of police! He recognizes the party and is about to arrest them when Felix and Adolphus rush in and explain matters, and the curtain falls, together with Mr. Bunce's whiskers.

The play itself abounded in ludicrous situations, the third act, especially, being very funny. The chronicles of a countryman's visit to town always afford ample opportunity for developing humorous instances. Miss Lilly Reinheimer made a capital old maid, carrying off her part to perfection. Miss Edna Elmer was excellent in the roll of Blanche, a young girl, loving and loved. In the grouchy ' 199 THE GREEN BAG character of Bunce Mr. Wenchel was all and more than could be desired, hand- ling his part with much skill. No one would ever have believed that Louis Wil- cox, the Beau Brummel of the class, could ever have been such a seedy country- man as he was in tl1e part of Mr. Corker. With his pickaxe he made quite a hit. The role of Higgins was creditably executed by Mr. Hess, while Mr. Cope- land scored quite a success as the captain of police. Mr. Wegefarth did very well as Felix the lover, and Mr. J. S. Thompson made an excellent matrimonial agent. Mr. Dieffenbach, who filled the part of Adolphus, executed in the last act a flying leap not down on the program. He may one day appear in vaude- ville, or be seen in the circus. As a waiter, Mr. Streett was quite successful, intimating a good knowledge of the profession. He will always be able to find a job sl1ould he ever run out of cash. The policemen, too, seemed to be well acquainted with their roles, causing a suspicion that they had close a11d intimate connections with our executive constabulary. Whether these connections were voluntary upon the part of the gentlemen, or forced by the police, I am not pre- pared to say, V Everybody seemed satisfied with tl1e play, even Mr. Eliason and the coach, and no one wanted l1is money back. The play was very successful, too, from a finan- cial standpoint, although we paid all our bills and did 11ot jump our contract with Mr. Ford. CThe only reason we paid Mr. Ford was because we had tol. We trust the public does not think it has been swindled, even though it was. We also trust that the public is sorry that the 1905 Class has gone out of the show busi- ness. We have said farewell to itg 11ot as Patti said her farewells, but, indeed, as Judge Parker has said farewell to all hope for the Presidency. Joseph Jeffer- son once said tl1at'Nature made Shakespeare and then broke the mold. So, too, has she made '05 dramatics, and then destroyed the mold, but obviously for dif- ferent reasons. You can have too much of a bad thing just as well as too much of a good thing. X ZOO THE KITTY va fl fblllflil' in Fam' .-Iris, Q11 lioran' IV. l ullw'. DRAMATIS PERSONJI9.

OMETHINGS doing, said l. to myself one beautiful morning last April, as I was passing that far-famed institution of learn- ing-the llaltimore City College-for out of the dark yawning portal of that place of confinement and torture some thirty-odd lean, hollowed-eyed creatures were rushing pell-mell. Was it a break for liberty-or what? It certainly could not be that, for once out they quieted down and remained standing in a group on the pavement, looking with wistful eyes at the fourth story windows-the large ones-as if they wished the release of some poor fellow prisoners therein confined. As I drew near they assembled with a resigned air about a mysterious spot on the bricks of the pavement. just then small groups of twos and threes joined those on the outside, who were continually casting furtive glances over their shoulders, as if they feared pursuit. One or two answers I overheard to the inquiries as to how they did it. Oh, it was a cinch: just slipped out of line. T-hese inquiries and their answers were cut short by the approach of two grave diggers, who began to take up the bricks at the mysterious mark. Ah V' thought I l, l have it: they are going to bury some poor canine friend who was rescued too x 224 THE GREEN BAG late from the usual fate of stray dogs. cats, and the zoological department refuse before the lunch counter inquisitionf' Perhaps his body had been rescued or maybe only his bones, and they were going to give it a decent burial. A very appropriate spot, l must say. VVhen a hole of about two feet had been dug, the grave diggers ceased, and what was my astonislnnent when 1 saw them take from a hit-hcrto unnoticed wagon a beautiful young maple tree. Tenderly they placed it in the ground and very carefully adjusted it. Although it was not a funeral. as l had at first thought it was going to be, it was a very, very solemn occasion. nevertheless, and 1 could see the emotion welling up in every breast. VVith bated breath they watched a tall, raw-boned chap, presumably someone of importance, take up a spade and 'drop slowly, clod by clod, the tirst earth upon the bare roots. That seemed to- break the spell which had been upon the group of onlookers. Then there was a a clamoring for Speech! Speech ! Young, give us a speecli ! and there stepped forth from the crowd a distinguished looking fellow, tall, tinely built CPU, good looking QQ, and with his soft light hair wafting gently to and fro in the breeze-every inch the orator. After taking a long, lingering look at the tree. a fleeting glance at the sky, a still more Heeting glance at the assembled multi- tu:de,', and gulping down some emotion, he began in a deep, clear, sonorous voice. l4Im-m-in-ml Gentlemen !'i tApplanse and cries of llravo l.

Cl'rolonged applause, and some side remark about it being very warnij. Then warming up to his task he eloquently delivered his effusion, being interrupted from time to time by the enthusiastic applause of his audience. Then with a final hope to see flzfs tree llourish, and afford, by its widespreading boughs, a place of shelter, both literally and hguratively, for us in future years, he stepped back crowned with the laurel wreath. In the excitement which followed l noticed sev- eral longing looks being cast at a certain yellow building directly opposite, with 225 THE GREEN BAG an enormous sign staggering under the burden of its important HFRIT-Z'S CAFE. just then there was a whisper, Say, Smiddy is going to give us a 'spiell' Upon the conclusion of his tSmiddyj speech several yells were given: one about something Rickity tl don't think it pertained to the treej and another contain- ing Aeh! Now! Yah ! and also ''Donnerwetter--YetI which latter was es- pecially emphasized. just as the boys were dispersing, assisted by an important looking fat-very fat-man, several others rushed out from the building bubbling over with laughter and holding their sides. They were instantly seized upon by the rest and besieged with questions. I-lo-w'd it work? NVhat did he do? VVas it any good ? Oh-ll-h-li! It was great, simply GREAT-l was the 1'eply. Then, amid many interruptions and convulsive laughter, the newcomers told how, while everything was still Hup there and the lecturer was progressing finely assisted by the stereoptieon views, suddenly on the screen there appeared a startling picture. Two striking likenesses of certain well-known professors, pugilistically clothed and armed, who were resorting to the days of chivalry and-- l'uncl1ing his face, were shown. At this point of the narrative the aforesaid fat man became insistent and the crowd was dispersed. What could it all mean? Revolving this weighty question in my mind, I went my way, hoping to meet some day someone who could en- lighten me upon all those strange proceedings.

This only and original , 227 ee 047 THE OFFICIAL STAMP 'gpg 05 5 'nm GREEN BAG ' Ol.-'1f1c1.x1. S'1'.xM 1' was to be impressed upon each sheet of paper worked upon as a guarantee of its originality. Thus, by this most excellent Q Pj system there could be no copying of notes-so the professor thought. The great expense of the stamp was not defrayed by the School lloard: oh, no! but out of the professors own pocketbook. It was the pride of his heart, and was guarded as carefully as a sovereign by the professor's most able assistant. That worthy gentleman was so solicitous of its safety that it was never out of the reach of his arm. Evidently there was some fear of its being filched by some unprincipled villain who sought to break up the system then in use, which insured the originality of the notes. Everything, however, has its crisis. and this particular case had its this day. Something resembling order was at length gained: the professor was busily ex- plaining some physical phenomena to several apparently interested stifdentsg and the assistant was dutifully keeping watch over his precious charge-the OFFICIAL STAlX1.l'. An interruption came in the person of the plump ruler. of the lower re- gions with a message from F. A. S. The plump one, seeing the professor engaged, sought the assistant and communicated his message to him. A whispered council ensued, ending in the assistant's going to interview the professor, and leaving the plump one in charge of the stamp, with the terrible warning: Guard it well, and woe be to those scanty locks of yours if any harm comes upon it !', He, however, as is his wont, in his blissful ignorance began to admire the fetching decorations of the room very nonehalantly. The villain sees his chance, steals forward toward the coveted prize. Oh, cannot this deed be stopped! This dreadful deed. VVill the plump one have time to turn around before it is accomplished? It must be done quickly, very quickly, for the assistant is returning. All is still-the lull before the storm. Then-AH-H-H! 'Tis done! The stamp. the Ci,lili1ClAl, S'l'AM1', the priceless gem, is ruthlessly torn from its sheltering place and hurriedly shoved into the dark recesses of the villain's pocket. Even he is now aghast at the immensity of his undertaking. A The message delivered and the answer received, the plump one elfccts his exit. A moment later a lad approaches the assistant. Say, stamp this paper. The assistantis hand goes toward the accustomed spot of the stamp. It is not there.. But perhaps it is back of this jar. No, norithis box, either. Then the 228 THE GREEN BAG awful thing slowly dawns upon his unenlightencd mind-,lT IS GONE! .llut where? There are some titty sheets of paper on the table. He must look under each and every one of them. Not there! On the table, under the table, in back of the table, in front of the table, on both sides of the table, every place must be searched. A bright idea strikes him. 1-'le must tell the professor. Then the storm broke. Thunder, lightning, rain, snow, hail, sleet, Cyclones and earthquakes descended upon that devoted band. At the first blow they staggered, then slowly recovered and resolved to stand and die together. The fallen angels upon the burning lake of Hell were not more taken aback than they by that sudden onslaught. Lock the door ! cries the now thoroughly wild professor. Every man shall be searched before leaving this room. No, don't lock the door! Yes, lock it. No. don't--Here, john-go to the President and request him to step here immediately. Hurry! No-stay-don't go! Consternation took hold every breast. l'll have the villain. l.'ll wager l could point to him now. Some unfortunate devil snickered. Sir, l, do not accept your characterization of this villainous performance, and wish to express my most unmeasured condemnation of your conduct. Silence! ' The cliaracter of the villain who committed this deed is covered with a slime and lilth that soap and water cannot remove, and he will always be a source of anxiety and disquietude to those who are nearest and dearest to him. Oh-h-h-h ! came in horrified tones from the assembled class. Yes, and l make no assertions that l cannot substantiate. Q A faint suggestion of Hot Air was gently waited from somewhere in the rear. ' ' Young men, this is devilish: absolutely devilish! Why, l'd rather be crucilied than dogged to death by such performances.', 'The excitement had reached the boiling point. The professor was executing some sort of a clog dance, his hair in wild disarray, his face reddening and paling by turng the assistant was still hoping against hope of finding his missing treasure I 229 THE GREEN BAG under some speck of dust, or in a mouse hole: and the class stood in dismay, terrot' striking each noble breast. The former took in a mighty breath, there was a dreadful explosion imminent: the latter drew back aghast: and then suddenly, without a moment's warning-the bell rang for change of period. That bell has more than once relieved just such a critical position, and has come to be looked upon as a god of relief. The class Filed out with the awful menace of the professor ringing in their ears: I shall appeal to the President to take further action in my behalff' The mystery of the stamp was the leading topic of conversation about the col- lege. It was debated upon in the literary societies, argued about in the lunch hall and even spoken about over the soup plates at the lunch counter. Say, the professor's stamp's gone, was heard on every side. The next day there was no work in the laboratory. Instead the class was as- sembled in the adjoining classroom and dosed with a long lecture upon the exist- ing morals of the college student. The meanings of some of the words are yet to be found. Perhaps they will appear in VVebster's unabridged in lQlO, or there- abouts. Tt was a very noticeable fact that there was a very recent predominance of gray on the professor's devoted head, a dulness in his usually bright eyes, and n, peculiar break in his voice as he dolefully preached his sermon. The next day passed an'd still no signs of the stamp. VVork was again resumed in the labora- tory, but it all seemed like a hollow mockery of the past. Only now and then a word was spoken, and then in a whisper. Little work was doneg all sitting around. their heads between their hands, fully aware of the dreadful calamity which had descended upon them. More gray appeared on the professor's head, and the ex- pression on the luckless assistant's face was one of positive awe, as he tiptoed about, a veritable Jason searching for the golden Heeee. Even so a third day passed. surpassing its predecessors in the auspiciousness of the occasion. Then came the fourth day. The class entered- With downcast eyes and solemn mienf' expecting to be greeted with more sermons and more gray hair. llut. lo! a miracle had been performed. The haggard look on the professor's visage had 230 THE GREEN BAG been replaced by one of horrified relief. and as for the assistant--the Quaker Oats grin was stamped on eve1'y feature. No thought of work entered their minds and all clustered in the center of the laboratory. where the professor always delivered his daily addresses.

Well, l am gratified to see that so many of you are not complicated in this performance. The stampwill be again,put into commission. and now .I wish that work shall he resumed as heretofore. This is all l shall say in reference to the matter. For several days the mystery was as complete as before. Nothing could be gotten out of the professor or the still smiling' assistant. Then all gradually leaked out from some unknown source. ' The stamp. that f,l IflClAl. STA Ml-, had been found in the turtle aquarium. The villian had, perhaps. some chivalrous notion in his breast when he removed it, for he noticed that the turtles had been getting thinner and thinner every day, and out of pure pity for dumb brutes, had dropped it in among 'El1Cl'l1.,'tlllllliillQ' that it would be welcomed as a great delicacy to those starving' things. The latter evi- dently did not relish such a dish. and so the stamp remained intact. ready to be returned to the trusting students, and insure their handiwork against the ravages of the indolent.

Soever the Lord had a euslome that at ye feast of Pente- cost he would not go that day to meat afore he had heard or seen of an adventure. Right so entered there a damsel fayre beholden, and anon, as Sir Frank saw her, there was made peace Can he dotecl on suehlike danxselnj, and she came unto the high claias saying', Sir Francis, Gude you bless and 232 THE GREEN BAG all you fayre fellowships.

VVhat eall ye your eountrie, damsel, and why hath your knights not slewn him long since?

Then rose Sir M organ le Grand. a wight Knight and a big made. and bespake ye Czar thus: l wit him well, an he is one of ye hardiest adventurers of ye world-men say that he is seven times as large in gurth as Sir Hennyke and e'en ten times as long in measure as from ye pateto ye toe of Sir VVright de l',onge Corps, and from him l 'seaped once full hard with my life.

Even Sir Frank was right sore dismayed and said to ye damsel, Fayre Maid, in sooth l am feared thy VCl1lQl1l'C hath farther to seek, for my fellowships, even so as myself, loath mightily to labour save in knightly ventures or zipp recording, and I am full well assured that there are none who wit more than 'lXflary's Lamb' and 'lylother Goose' to his heart. Right 233 THE GREEN BAG so there arose high a puissant knight and passing wise-Sir Arthur le Paraquette. Little known, he had been dubbed le l'araquette by Sir Seque his neighbor, because when one bespoke him he would reply, Hence loathed Melancholy, or ls this a dagger l see before me P and Out, damned spot. V Then'with these words came before ye Lord, le Paraquette while ye damsel was there: and thus he said,, Sir Frank. God thank you, I have been these one hundred years in thy service sorely pressing the lnfidel Seniors and now l will ask my two gifts that be behind. Ask upon my peril, quoth ye Lord. Sir, an it please you, these shall' be my two gifts: First, that you will grant nie to have this venture of ye damsel. . Thou shalt have it, said ye Lord.

All this shall be done. said ye lXluch-l omp. 'l'hen will l be right joyous when you have done that, said le l araquette. Then he got him his armour and shield, which bare ye device of a parrot, and so departed. CI-lAPT,l2R ll. And summer. the bcautyse season. did come to fall and still le Paraquette was wandering in ye wilderness ere ever he had an adventure. Anon one day, as he rested him by a well and dreamed of when an elevator should lift him up and down from his donjon on the battlements of the keep, there was heard a mightie crashing and moaning of ye Forrest Right. So le Paraquette dressed his shield before him and went to wit the cause thereof. And then he espied him, ye monster. And then he wit that Sir hflorgau had righte well described him. For he saw that ye monster even now had gulped down an full-grown grey-squirrel and ye monster gaped wide and came upon him ramping to have slain him. Then 234 THE GREEN BAG they came together tracing' and transversing' and there was much courage and dole cut of measure. Thus Sir Arthur fought more than two hours, and oft ye monster smote him such strokes that made him to kneel. And Sir Arthur all to hewed ye monster in many places, but he was sore beset and wit not what to ot-. Then he bethought him of ye saying' of ye damsel and cried in mightie voice. Whence and what art thou, execrable shape, that darest, though grim and terris ble, advance thy miscreated front across my way ? Straight way ye monster weakened and Sir Arthur redoubled his voice in volume. Retire else with one word of this tongue straight horror seize thee and pangs unfelt before. - Then ye monster knew his time had come. T-he fatal knight that wit ye clas- sics to his heart had choakecl him with his cram. Then with a sustained and awful voice Sir Arthur bid him die. Out! damned spot! XfVhen Sir Arthur saw that he was died, he bravely strode up to ye monster and smote him in ye midst of the head such a buffet that it clave his head asunder. Then there was great rejoicing' overlhwart ye land, and Sir Arthur retired him peacefully to his donjon, there to pursue his Crib while great cheer was made and much wassail.

' p Right! Thats the' proper spirit! replied a swarthy looking fellow at the back of the room, glancing up from his Colomba crib to see what was going on. A The Doctor. familiarly known as Doc, glared intently around the room to see if he could locate the author of this impertinence, but, not being able, to find the object of his vengeance, he began to get mad at the class in general. I tell you I won't have it! We must have discipline in here! Witlioitit dis- cipline we can do nothing, for it is the great unit on which this school is built up- Robb !-Robb I-Oh, Mr. Robb !-haven't we a picture of discipline among our photographic plates ? Uponlthat latter worthy lamb's expressing his belief that the last bit of discipline had been lent to Mr. Frieze, the Doctor continued, but of course on different lines, for he can't remember for 'two minutes what he's talking about. CStrange to relate, this state of affairs is also in evidence among the stu- rlents.j Now, young gentlemen, continued the Doctor, 'tl think that this experiment will prove extremely interesting, for when I add a few drops of HCL to this mixture, we get a- ' ZlI'-ZAI'-WCJH-CRASHITY-IIANG-RIEANG-IBANGI ! ! !

At this last remark a roar of laughter broke forth from the class, for Doc always made Sclnnidt act as janitor, scrub-wo-man and bottle-washer combined from the time he entered the room till he went out. i Doc. however, forgetting entirely that Rule 223. Section 6, of the Scho-ol lloard Regulations positively prohibits all students from laughing at the antics of the faculty, actually thought we were laughing at him, and consequently worked him- self up into a terrible rage. T tell you l won't stand for it! You call yourselves young gentlemen, you do. but you're nothing but a set of low. insoleut hounds! You think you can intimi- date me, but you can't. If it wasn't for the advancement of science, and for the sake of a few real workers who want to go to the great university yonder, I'd quit teaching forever and- Haw, haw, haw I came in long guffaws from the back of the room, and the Doctor, not knowing whether it was the idea of Init advancing science or the prospect of his quitting which seemed so humorous to the class, but equally enraged at either, now broke loose for fair and visited his wrath upon the offender- GET OUT or MY RCJCDMY No, don'tl 'llake this down to lil'Otf6SSO1' Soper and tell him that l. said you are sent down for repeated disorder and unbear- able insolenee in my department. At this Doc sits down and starts to write out an elaborated, three-page charge of the conduct of this misguided youth, but while doing so he is interrupted by George, who comes in with a written bulletin from the Star Chamber. Doc is now so sore that he doesn't know whether or not to- swear at the intruder for his interruption, but he finally compromises by grabbing the paper out of his hand, hastily reading it over. and then surlily in- forming the class that in case of fire they're not to throw the teachers down the hatchway, nor jump off the roof. Having delivered himself of this important message and shipped George and the previous offender out of the room, Doc now returns to the lesson. Q Now, young gentlemen, is there any student in the room who does not thor-- oughly understand the reactions between- iodine and Caustic Potash? At the majority of the class signifying their lack of knowledge on the subject by such remarks as Me for the KOH, Never met the lady, Do you ? the doctor casts a look of pity, scorn and anger tprincipally angerj at the class, and then majestic- ally struts over to the board to explain the subject to us in The lleautiful Lan- guage of Chemistry. tPuzzle-find the beauty.j You see, it's like this, he starts offg you take one molecule of KOH and five 237 V THE GREEN BAG molecules of locline and-no, you take six of KOH and one of locline-no, that won't balance-you take three molecules of- VVhere clo you take 'em ?'l cries out an auburn-heaclefl icliot near the winclow who has 21 highly depraved sense of humor.

Those that came to talk remained till 3.30 P. lll. Naught is lost save paper. I Faint heart ne'er won fair Silence gives contempt. .Honor is without profit--at the City College. A bun in the belly is worth all the rest on the lunch counter. Eat your steak or you'll have hash. A lie in time saves nine. A fool and his crib are soon parted. A thing of duty is an-noy forever. Love your neighbor-if she's good-looking. .I ron bars do not a prison make-but they help an awful lot. He laughs best whose laugh lasts. Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. Never a lender, but ll' I101'1'muc'1' bc. Home is where the heart is-but hearts are apt to roam. Spare the rod-but maul the child. Recess is the mother of contention. Sweet are the uses of cribs. A word to the wise is resented. ' Pride goeth before-until the pipe goes out. Hung windows with gay- colored stockings. Wlieii Ignorance is bliss-'tis Folly to be otherwise. A lie for a lie, andthe devil take the truth. lt is better to make friends fast than to make fast friends. A little Zip,' is a dangerous thing. ' 'l'l1cre's many a slip 'twixt a D and an E. . Fools rush in tand get something to catj where angels fear to tread tand hence go hungryj. A crib in need is a friend indeed. More waist, less speed. You can lead an ass to knowledge, but you ean't make him think. Fain would l. write, yet fear to plagiarize! 242 THE GREEN BAG UMAN NATURE A crank is a man who has a different hobby than your own. Man is incorrigible. l-le swears he will give up a bad habit and then keeps on swearing. ' Some men have a gallon of words to every spoonful of thought. Clothes may not make the man: but it is useless to create a disturbance by going around without them. VVomcn had larger waists in ancient times--but men had larger arms. No wonder love grows cold, considering the amount of clothes the pictures of Cupid show he doesn't wear. liissing a fashionable young lady on the cheek is one way of removing paint. Cupid is always represented as a baby, because love never lives to grow up. The bird on a woman's bonnet can't sing-but it makes her husband whistle when he gets the bill for it. Never boast of your genealogy. liven if you succeed in tracing it back to Adam and live. you can't find any record of their marriage. lf some people could lose their reputations. they would be lucky. 'llrying to quell a woman's wrath is like sitting down on a hunch of lighted fire- crackers to prevent their going off. VVomen are like cats: both are graceful, both are domestic and-both scratch. 'Man proposes, woman imposes and the divorce court exposes. A girl never likes the idea of being squeezed in a crowd: she prefers having it done in private. No matter how loose the engagement ring may be, the diamond never slips around on the inside of a girl's finger. ,lt may not be proper to precede the father of your best' girl down the stairs- but sometimes you have to. The wise virgins of olden times kept their lamps trimmed and burning. but those of the present generation keep the gas turned low and manage to catch just as manv suckers. ' M atehes are made in l-leaven. The Ere never goes out in the other place. 'Some women kiss their pug dogs in preference to their husbands: some men are horn luckv. When a man begins to raise the devil. he always lowers himself. Common sense is a very good thing in its way, but it has broken very few records. Fools rush in where angels woulcln't care to be caught by the police. Never threaten to kiss a pretty girl-always beg her pardon afterward. Never wear tight corsets. If you must be squeezed, let some man do it. After man came woman-and she has been after him ever since. 243 X l AMUSEMENT5 M l W FRlESE'S ACADEMY, Matinee Toclzly Mr. Plitt presents Louis XfVilcox in I e-n A Midsummer Niglmtis Dreams' 0-0 Hy Willie Slinkcspcmc.

Your question is rather ambiguous, as there are so many stout gentlemen who are likely to be seen at tl1e City College door- way, but we infer that you have reference to one whose duty places him there. He is Mr. F. A. T. Hennick, alias Porter of Hell Gate, and several other names unfit for pub- lication. His position is that of janitor, and his duty-. But what's in a name! It con- sists of writing late passes and monkeying with the clocks. , His salary averages about 15500 per year. Four hundred for the duty and the rest from tips for letting the boys out at recess without a pass.

Let it boil until it shows signs of thickening, then let stand until lukewarm to bring out the flavors, and serve in antiquated China dishes. .
