At tl1is he generally yawns and manages to say Ili! He's a right good sort of a chap: always on hand at class meetings and athletic games. Does not say niuch, but can yell like -- Oh! we mean like a. senior. Loves Dutchg in fact, in order to get the most essential detail, he uses a crib. So quietin the lab that jinnny thought he was working, and the result was an E for the term. Ile told us later thathe was not at work, only trying to see into how few words he could translate Die XVacht aiu Rhcin. Member Carrollton Wight Literary Societyg Chess Club. lisniann is a cute little dear, When he Hrst came to tl1e college his n1a1nn1a brought him. Towards the end of the second year his nurse brought l1in1. Ile has been coni- ing two years by himself now. Occasionally he loses his way and strolls in school about an hour late, but no one seems to take any notice of him. His chief fault lies in the fact that l1e thinks he is handsome. Hill, in a very learned discussion, tried to persuade hinl that he was not, but he teuaciously held to his opinion. Poor, poor boy! I, .,. 33

THE GREEN BAG JOHN HENRY ELLIOTT. Member Athletic Association. I Wonderful lad, he! O11e of those select few w11o rode through Caesar and then could bluff so well that Dick thought he was walking. Whenever he translated there was such a ring of hoofs that every one expected to be trampled upon, and yet--l1is innocent looks saved him from destruc- tion. If innocent looks were money he would be a million- aire. Although he has considerable of the latter named, only it is in a molten state. Yes, he took up bookkeeping and was a veritable Wall street, bulls and bears combined. Ile made 525,000 in one month in the wholesale fish business, and tl1e11 even tried to argue that his dealings had been perfectly straight. - RALPH L LPHRAIM. Member Carrollton Wight Literary Societyg Chess Clubg' Glee Clubg Librarian and Pianist of Glee Club '04+'05. Our thoughts run o11ly in epitaphs when they chance to rest on the glaring object. Learn to hold thy tongueg five words cost Zacharius forty weeks' silence. V Every fox praises his own tail CtaleD.', The devil straightway went into ecstacies when this man was born. ' I-Iell is empty and the devils are here. It is a pity he could not be hatched over again and hatched differently. The very hairs of your l1ead are all numbers, and we would add, for the benefit of our readers, ' numbered with red ink. 32

XVhat more does this world want now it has obtained Evans? Yes, Evans, the debater, the athlete, the society man, the scholar, and, above all, the lazy Zacharius Bon ' Evans! It is a pity, though, that Evans is so bonny. He might be on the lacrosse team. Why, we cannot tell what he might not be in the athletic world if he was not so-well, so, so bonny. By the way, it nearly slipped our overburdened mind-but how could it ?-Evans is the ladies' 11121.11 of the college! Ilow nice he really looks when he is dressed up in a black suit, black gloves, pat- ent leather shoes, and a large white tie! Honestly, he does--pray d0n'tdoubt us-and nobody knows it so well, we are sorry to say, as Evans. CHARLES C. FIELD, JR. Member Bancroft '03g Chess Club '03, Treasurer Bancroft, '03. Descendant of Ichabod Crane. Ich., as far as the editors could discern, was Field's grandmother's aunt's half- brother. It certainly is a wonder how the similarity could have been handed down with such accurate minuteness, but handed down it was, and so long as Field lives we shall have an Ichabod Crane in our community. He lost thirteen cents to Krauk onthe last Presidential election, which the former was mag'nanimous enough to overlook, and ever since Field has considered Krauk his bosom friend-why, he has even deigned to request the latter to accompany l1i111 up in the pit, at the Academy!
