With deep i f ii if K regret we leave our Alma Mater, carrying J with us stores of wisdom, and leaving behind, we hope, a good example for suc- Q QQ ceeding generations, etc., etc. It is perhaps ,El f :,li,i ' ' an easy matter to make worn-out remarks 1.1, fl 'N and excite no sympathy when one is but 'ard ,fill y half-hearted in a cause, but when the heart is full of intenselst feeling, to. realize that no statement of one's case, however vivid 4 .' Fr and graphic, will make it more than the same old story, this is Q iis , il bitter indeed. Yet not even the fear of striking no sympathetic If Al llx xsi chord in the hearts of our hearers can force back the testimony Oi .fgfliw l f i i we would bear to the unspeakable satisfaction of the past and the cold uncertainty of the future. We have been in college four years, and Q. are nearing at length the goal of our desires: we have struggled from the N puny Freshman ideals to the larger and nobler standards of seniority, we 'W xx i, have breathed in exhilarating draughts of the Old World's knowledge, we Q , . have measured ourselves with others, we have in our small way made repu- X ' lit' tationsg we interpret the college to the outside world g we are its terminus i l4 fm' Qllflll and in the eyes of the underclass-men approaching honors cast their glorifying light about us. What have we to look forward to P A sinking into insignificance, a feeling that there is no longer room for us anywhere since our old college haunts and offices are ably filled by othersg a gradual realization of the fact that our quondam successes count now for nothing, but that we have a new and much larger world to conquer with no one's help but our own--this is the flat sequel to the brilliance and hopefulness of the Senior Year and Commencement. And because such anti-climax is always disheartening, we ask your sympathy and charity. Be kind to us when we are cast adrift from our old moorings, at least until we have taken our bearings and are at home in the new and deeper waters that surround us. A. C.

On the whole the class seems to be making its annual revolution like a dignified planet, with the peculiar little wobbles and eccentricitics, it is true, which all heavenly bodies make in their course, but these only to avoid the dull flatness of uniformity. We do not compare its progress to the strange and wonderful path of a comet fiying triumphantly onward and leaving a trail of glorious light behind it. The class does not believe in unutilized capital and so carries all its light with it, finding plenty of profitable investments. The junior year is the first in which free-will gains a decided advantage over necessity, and the result follows that the hitherto undivided class is shattered into fragments by the force of indi- vidual preferences. In the required courses, however, where the class still presents an unbroken front, '97 still enjoys her oldtime unity and fights her battles ru zmrrsr. Thus it was she layed the ghost of History B-more or less tenderly-only to find it come up like the dragon's teeth of the legend, an armed host in the form of Political Economy. Thus, too, she placed a dog-eared slab, bear- ing the magic inscription, Syllabus, upon another grave, only to gain the opportunity of learning to what ill uses the alphabet may be turned. And, we confess, that in spite of the knowledge thus gained, she does not believe there is any fallacy in the course of reasoning that has led her to the conclusion that brief things are exceedingly lasting. Statistics are invaluable when authentic, as Poor Richard says, and so we have taken it upon our- selves to draw some interesting though scattering items from the class record by way of rounding out this little word concerning ,97. Midnight oil has risen in price over that of last year, owing, of course, to an increase in demand. Shares in the Library are quoted above par this term, due to a corner in the loan market. There was a decided plethora in History the first term. Daily redemption of themes stopped in january. Owing to a rise of Sophomores the ice-box is in the control of juniors. An increase in the demand for the alphabet is to be expected at the close of the term. B. 18 Hall, Anne Richardson... .. .

'V HOULD some one ask, What happened in '95 ? -one might mention various events,-such b as the Armenian massacres, the Venezuelan affair, the panic in Wall Street, and other things which made the year notable. But the class of '98 would cry with one voice : Que voulez- vous ? We became Sophomores ! 'l'hat 's enough to make '95 memorable, is it not ? There is no doubt that from the very beginning '98 fully appreciated the heavy responsibilities of her new position. In fact, before three months had passed, it was observed that '98 was growing old -some said, old-maidish. A strange report came to us that we were serious ! It was said that we never smiled in class, positively refused to laugh at jokes, however amusing QQ, insisted upon high tragedy at all times, whether it was in order or not, and, moreover, that we would not be fed with fairy tales, or any other kind of literature unless there was a moral at the end to leave a good taste in our mouths. 4' Puritanical sermons were produced fortnightly, much to the edification of the Eng- lish Department. At hrst we were inclined to deny these accusations flatly, but as this process became wearisonie, we decided to change our course 3 to assume more jovial manners and address, to appear gay and festive on all occasion, and to become playful as kittens, We went to work heartily, and 5l'l'l'0ll50' ! Result : within six weeks our fiippancy was past endurance g we made more noise and accomplished less than any class in the memory of man for woman, as it happened to bel, we lacked Unity, Coherence, Elegance -in short, all the qualities which we were supposed to have acquired in our Freshman Year,-we were horribly sentimental, we H were quarrelsome and loquacious, etc., etc., etc. Alas ! for the hckleness of opinions I However, o1if521' 7P,ll7V f3ltYc11-5061, and so having shown our amiability by our attempts to please everybody, we are now going to please ourselves, looking forward to the Azzrca Illea'z'afrz'!as of the Junior Year.

Though rather few in numbers, we are lacking neither in zeal nor in , i C' ASL a remarkable diversity of ideas on all conceivable subjects. The spacious apartment on the fl fourth floor devoted to our use has witnessed many an exciting discussion to decide for the glory of our Alma Mater all weighty questions which arise. This delightful variety of ' opinions merely adds piquancy to our intercourse, not in the least detracting from the loyal X spirit which unites us. We have as yet no class cry, for we feel that the selection is one fitted to display our ability is a matter for deep meditation. But in our choice of colors, white and green, we show not only our msthetic taste, but the courage characteristic of our every action. E M. 24 BARNARD ALUMNA5. ASSOCIATION. OFFICERS.

HE close of the last college year brought into our Alumnae Association the last of the three small classes that had characterized the first period of Barnard. The pleasure which ever seems to be about early days, we have felt as undergraduates, we feel now as alumnre, and we look upon it as a compensation for the advantages which the larger classes may enjoy. Moreover, the store of common reminiscences clustering about the facts of the early instruction, have made for us a tie which, in the nature of things, is not likely to exist among any other classes. But a unifying influ- ence greater than our identity of associations, is the fact that we alone have been sent out into the world inspired by him who ever urged upon us large sympathy and high motives. Three other classes can share with us the heritage of Dr. Brooks's wise teachings, but we alone can say, He addressed us as alumnaef' Realizing that unity is more to be desired than numbers, we have undertaken this year to do a substantial service to our college, It is futile to speak of the time and energy already given to the project we have in mind. It is too early a day to assure ourselves of success, but if the Morningside Barnard finds itself in possession of a well-equipped gymnasium, it is safe to say that credit is due to the efforts, concord, and enthusiasm of the classes of '93, '94, and '95, G.

In answer to certain questions as to the object of pursuing the courses, some of the various answers received may be of interest. Sixteen students are pursuing the courses, whether they lead to degrees or not, for purposes of general culture. Two have undertaken them as a theoretical basis for more or less definite philanthropic work. Seven have had immediate practical purposes in view, peda- gogical orjournalistic. One student-and we are glad to say one student alone-informed us that her object in pursuing the courses was to obtain a college degree 3 but we hope that she has by this time learned that no degree, however valuable, should be an end in itself. No article, even so sketchy and statistical a one as this, would be complete without some expressed recognition of the kindly spirit shown to graduate students at Barnard, by the Dean, by the Registrar, by the Professors, and especially by the undergraduate students. 29 THE BARNARD GRADUATE CLUB. HE peculiar need that exists in a non-residential college, for what one of our professors would call voluntary associations assuming social functions, has been met by the formation of The Undergraduate Association, and, more lately, by the organization of the Barnard Graduate Club. As stated in its Constitution, the aim of the Club is the intellectual and social advantage of its members, such membership being limited to the graduate students of Columbia registered through Barnard, and the women graduate students of the University registered at Columbia before the fall of the year 1889. Almost the first business before the Club was the election of delegates to the Federation of Graduate Clubs, and Mrs. Bryson and Miss Putnam represented our interests before that august body. Perhaps as we are, in this book, wholly fzzfer azlzfazs rQg'1nzfa,v, daughters feven we elder sisters who are so only by adoptionj of the same alma mater-perhaps we may be permitted to whisper without suspicion of self-gloriiication that Columbia and Barnard captured two of the prized offices- the President and the Secretary respectively, Miss Putnam's election to the latter being by acclama- tion. Did n't we Udo you proud, dear Barnard, and have n't we earned the right to be called your 6iO'7TOI,7jTIf 2 Since these great happenings, we have been satisfied with more frivolous triumphs-the President and Vice-President of the Club have entertained us at their houses, we have had a joint meeting with the Graduate Club of Columbia, and we have even been fashionable enough to indulge in a Poster Exhibit. At the next meeting we are to hear short addresses on the chief lines of undergraduate work of the colleges represented in the Club, and so familiarize ourselves with the early environment of the organisms surrounding us. 30 THE BARNARD GRADUATE CLUB.

Anticipation certainly enters into a student's life, for otherwise the work could scarcely be sincere and earnest 3 still the immediate moment is so fully occupied, that one finds indeed that sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. On the other hand, upon graduation, thought is busy, for a short time, at least, with retrospection and anticipation. What has the past done and what will the future do? If the four years' training has only tacked together a little bit of each subject undertaken we have not much to show for our time. There are, undoubtedly, many great lessons that college should instill, but let us here speak of one especially-the sense of proportion, the ability to look straight and see the relative position of things, to see the great as great and the small as small. The study of new subjects and the close intercourse with many minds force us to think, and gradually thought makes known to us in what relation the various questions of life stand, and we find, frequently, that the great and small have changed places-that the first is last and the last, tirst. Spencer says that true knowledge lies in the ability to regulate one's life. If our sense of proportion is just, we are in a position to endeavor, at least, to force the great and the trivial issues to stand in their true relation. By these, of course, are meant not the external and objective, but rather the internal and subjective, the real issues of life. lloes not the mistake of life often occur in seeing things in the same plane-devoting as much if not more attention and energy to the small rather than the great? College, then, should have helped us in the past by arousing, through the association with knowl- edge and people, a sense of proportion which, if properly cultivated, will aid us to regulate ourlife and leave the future unhampered to work out its own salvation-surely no mean achievement.

L N the seventh of April, 1896, the Undergraduate Association of Barnard College completed the A fourth year of its existence. On that date in 1892, the three classes then composing the student body, met and took the first steps towards forming an organization which might authoritatively represent them as undergraduates. In the fall of the same year, when, on the entrance of '96, the Vollege had completed its quota of classes, a constitution was framed and the Undergraduate Association took its place among the societies of Barnard. The Association is provided with the usual officers, of whom President and Vice-President are elected from the Senior Class, and Secretary and Treasurer from the junior and Sophomore Classes respectively. Most of its important work is performed by various committees, whose duties are more or less peculiar. It is the province of the Executive Committee, composed of one member from each class and presided over by the Senior member, to bring before the Association all new business. The Self-Government Committee, which is responsible for the enforcement of order and quiet in the building, is likewise made up of members from each class, but has as its chairman the President. ln the Conference Committee, formed last year to serve as a means of communication with the Alumnae Association, are represented the three upper classes. This committee has as yet seen little active service. During the past year a fourth special committee has been appointed, which is responsible for the appearance in the city papers of items of news concerning the College. At the meetings of the Association, now that the Articles of the Constitution have been Hnally composed and amended, the management of the monthly teas and the consideration of the reports of the Self-Government Committee are the most momentous topics for discussion. However, in this our day of small things we are preparing for the time when the Undergraduate Association of Barnard College shall hold important sessions on the heights of Morningside. A. C. M. 34 THE BARNARD COLLEGE CHAPTER OF THE COLLEGE SETTLEMENTS ASSOCIATION. CCORDING to the regulation of the College Settlements Association the following report of the Barnard College Chapter was sent to the Secretary of the Association in September of last year. The Barnard College Chapter of the College Settlements Association is so young an organiza- tion that it as yet barely realizes its own existence, and does not well appreciate of what value it may be to the association of which it forms a part. But to the New York Settlement in particular it hopes to be of some service. Last spring flowers and books were sent by members of the Chapter to Rivington Street, and in june some of the children of that neighborhood were taken on a picnic to Bronx Park. Of course little direct personal work can be undertaken by the members of the Chapter -the undergraduate members, at any rate-in Rivington Street g but we purpose this coming year to provide once a week for a day or an afternoon in one of the parks with some of the Rivington Street children. Another plan, and one more important to the interests of the Association, we should like to call to the attention of the Board. It has occurred to us that it would be extremely advisable for the schools of New York city to be more than generally interested in our Settlement work. Of course, according to our Constitution, they can have no direct connection with our Association, but an in- direct connection through the Barnard College Chapter seems practical. The school whose teachers and students we might sufficiently interest in the matter could form some kind of an organization related as a sub-chapter to ours, similarly as we are related as a Chapter to the Association. The representatives of these sub-chapters could attend our meetings, submitting their reports, but of course without the power of vote. In this way there would be no infraction of the Constitution of the Association. We think that a considerable amount of money and a very considerable amount of new interest in its work would be acquired for the Association by this plan, and we hope much that it will meet with the approval of the Board. 35 The plan concerning sub-chapters was endorsed by the Executive Committee, and at the follow- ing autumn meeting of the Barnard College Chapter an amendment was made in its Constitution providing for sub-chapters. Delegates from the sub-chapters which had already been formed in the schools of Miss Brown, and Mlle. Ruel, attended the meeting informally. It is hoped that many more sub-chapters will be formed in the New York schools, and it is urged upon the members of the Barnard College Chapter to promote this undertaking as much as possible. During the early winter several parties of Rivington Street children were taken to Central Park on Saturday afternoons by members of the Chapter. We hope that these little expeditions may be renewed this spring, for they give much pleasure and benefit to the children, and do not involve the responsibility of any regular class work upon the Chapter members.

HOUGH on a miniature plan, Barnard has nearly every sort of an institution that is found at Columbia. On the analogy of the Philolexian, the Barnard College Literary Society was started so long ago as to accumulate traditions. Gradually it declined to a mere shadow of its pristine glory g softly, as it was dying of a broken heart, we whispered, as it was going to its rest. Then new blood was introduced, the corpse of forensic eloquence was vivified, rose upon its feet, and spake. Yea, verily, the thronging hosts of other days ne'er beheld a similar resuscitation. What a noble thing it is-eloquence and oratory-whereby we play upon the wills of men and rouse them to lofty purposes and deeds of greatness! Like Matthew Arnold, half a century hence, we can think upon the voices in the air which haunted our own undergraduate days. The voice of one crying on or near the housetops, will then have extended across the room, the city, throughout the world I Barnard College, the school of oratory, will have sat down upon its throne.

'I' the Barnard teas, and even at those informal gatherings held when one class entertains another, the students of the College, or of a single class, assume the character of hostess, and try to learn the interests of their guests, rather than to make their own tastes or themselves the subjects of conversation. Considering the youth of the College, this side of its social life is well developed. On the other hand, such clubs as the Greek Club, the Dramatic Club, and the College Settlement, to name a few examples, afford the students serious intercourse, outside of the lecture- rooms with their prescribed course of study. But the only organization which both frees its members from the duty of entertaining strangers and from the task of preparing work, is the Hap-Hazard. The Hap-Hazard has for some years been the only purely social club of the College, and in part it supplies the need which Barnard feels, of closer intimacy among undergraduates. At its meetings the girls make no effort to refrain from speaking of college matters, and the consequence of this freedom is that many and varied are the channels into which conversation drifts. It is almost a pity, one might say, that any effort is made to entertain the members-for such a thing as an entertainment committee does exist. Since this is the only club at which the girls gather to talk to one another, perhaps the precious moments ought not to be lost in anything but spontaneous intercourse and entertainment. With the exception of the Kappa Kappa Gamma, and of the Novel Club, which died upon the departure of the Class of Ninety-five, the Hap-Hazard is the oldest club at College. It certainly de- serves a long life, for every one enjoys its meetings, and as the conditions imposed for eligibility are not taxing, the membership is large, and reaches all sorts of students. A.

HE Greek Club has pursued this year the same plan of work with which it began its existence last year,-a weekly meeting for the discussion of an assigned passage in the Greek with the reading of a paper written by one of the members concerning some subject suggested by the text. The reading chosen for the year was on the Agamemnon story, including the fEschylean trilogy and the Electras of Sophocles and Euripides. Some of the papers read have been on the following subjects: Greek Games, The Metre of Aischylus, Funeral Rites, The Rites of Suppliants, The Idea of the lrreparability of Murder, Greek Cosmic Deities, The Significance of Dreams. The Club was much pleased by a gift of books from Dr. Perry, a valuable addition to its growing Greek library. This library is to be placed in the Study Room, and upon application to the Proedros of the iflub will be at the disposal of all the Barnard College students.

OPHOMORES need a great deal of stick-at-it-iveness to accomplish anything, anyway. Their interests are so many and so varied, and their days so crowded, that it is difhcult to find an hour, twice a month, when they may pause in the midst of the whirl of themes and history- reports, and lectures and consultations, to discuss, learnedly and eloquently, matters of literary moment, and to debate on exciting political situations with ease and fluency. Nevertheless, the Arthur Brooks Society, in this its second year, has held meetings every other week, which have been, by the verdict of its members, exceedingly interesting and helpful, in that they have demanded and inspired thought on other subjects than those of their daily work. In january, after a grand investigation and comparison of schedule-cards, the day of meeting was changed from Monday to Thursday, thus ensuring the presence of several members who were in the predicament of no! loving the Literary Society less, but loving theme-copying more. We hope that in another year we may accomplish more of real value in a literary way, and we go forward always mindful of that noble man whose name honors our society, and earnestly striving to be worthy of the confidence that he placed in us.

From its obscurity and modest retirement it has come forward this year to receive its hard- earned laurels. The Club has furnished music for college teas, for home teas, and has appeared once before the New York public, namely, at the Deaconesses' Home Birthday of the Methodist Churches, whereof a printed record has gone down to posterity. At present its member- ship is not large. But as the College enrolls more students the musicians will undoubtedly increase proportionately. On looking back at the work of the year, the Club may congratulate itself on having made a brave struggle in the face of existing difhculties, in the confidence that when the College is established at Morningside, its future members will carry on the work, begun by them, of giving Barnard College a good Banjo Club.

Q' OR once at least there is something in a name,-so much, indeed, that our name tells its story. 4 Aiaf denotes that our dramatics are Greek, hui that they are Lating Aizvf shows them to be tragic, hui proves them comic as well. Thus, then, we stand confessed : The Greek and Latin Tragedy and Comedy Club. I The Aim'-Hui sprang into being for two reasons 3 first, because it was felt that speaking and acting the words of the masters would bring us nearer their true spirit g secondly, because in this way we might improve at once our pronunciation, feeling for rythm, and vocabulary. In all these things the Aivff-Hui is seemingly succeeding. Its members have attempted earnestly to reproduce in action the subtle naivete of Euripides' thought, they have not been dis- mayed by the difficulties of Terence's verse g wherever he is dramatic they have impressed the kind Horace into service. No great talent has as yet arisen, but the classic words have become more easily retained, the lines more musically spoken, and the personages of the old play much more real. For the future there is this much to be hoped : that whenever, remembering 5 191,05 13p1Y,1'llS, li Tbfxlflj ,uaup1i, we look at the first part of our name and say, H Alas! alas ! we may, feeling that we have done our best and that it has not been small, look once more and banish the blues with a happy Great Scott !

The appeal met with an enthusiastic response, i ' and the following week the hitherto voiceless Glee Club took its place in Barnard life. With the formulaic Barnard devotion to high ideals, the club began by seeking a meeting-place at the top of the house, and with equally characteristic resolution in overcoming dilhculties, it was nothing daunted by the fact that its members were obliged to trust only to their own sense of harmony and to the pitch-piper of their leaders to guide them through the mazes of Schubert, Ile Koven, and scales. Earnest efforts, however, are always rewarded, so through the kindness and generosity of one of the friends of the College we are the proud users, one afternoon a week, of a piano and a room at the Berkeley Gymnasium. As yet we have no achievements of which to boastg no songs composed, no concerts given, no prima donnas discovered g but our existence has been brief, and for the future we are sure of glory which shall be second only to that of our Alma Mater herself.

NSPIRED by their sisters of classic mind, and unwilling to be outdone by them, the devotees of 4 Modern Languages, in solemn conclave, bound themselves to the furtherance of the interests of the French and German Dramatic Club which should be formed. After the third floor front had been duly consecrated as the stage for future action, and the time of meeting had been chosen, the question of a name arose. Here came the rub. Plain Dramatic Club possessed no characteristic to distinguish it from similar organizations g some names were too prosaic for the proposed standard of high attainment, others too serious for comedy, and others again too Hippant for the tragic muse. In desperation, therefore, the Society was christened the Sans Souci. This name we consider truly appropriate, for not alone does it indicate the indifference with which our present weakness is regarded by the college public, but it is also a suggestion of the indifference with which we, in turn, when we are great, shall look upon their eagerness to join our numbers. Moreover, it has been noted by critical members of the club, that this name paints with realistic touch, the attitude of the various casts toward the letter-perfection of their parts. At the meetings of the Club, which are held every other Friday, successive portions of a French and German play are enacted 3 those being presented at present are Le Legs by Marivaux, and Geheimniss by Paula. The Club hopes that it may some-day have a third division in its programme, in the addition of an Italian play. It can promise to any students of Italian, who may be contemplating membership, not only increased familiarity with the various languages, and developed histrionic ability, but also an imagination whose keenness has been well sharpened by the necessity of making a blackboard, a table, and three chairs fulfil the requirements necessary for the presentation of the modern drama. A. C. NV. 5I IN MEMORIAM. ARTHUR BROOKS, D.D. 'l' was said, long ago, of a famous teacher at Oxford, that while he had brought his college no increase 4 of endowments he had enriched it for all time by the tradition of his devotion to the things of the mind, and by the beauty of his life. It is upon these spiritual foundations that the greatness of a college really rests g it grows rich in those priceless possessions which should gather about the seat of learning in the degree in which it gains the service and conserves the influence of those who are both wise and noble. Such a bequest Barnard College has received from the first Chairman of its Board of Trustees. Dr. Arthur Brooks was a true college man 5 one who had not only large acquire- ments of knowledge, but ripeness of spirit, breadth of view, and largeness of nature. There was no taint of pedantry in him 3 none of that empty pride which rejoices in mere accumulation. He used knowledge as a means to a larger and richer life g he never rested in it as a mere accomplishment. He had the scholar's temper g he was untouched by worldliness g he held loyally to the finer pursuits and deeper joys of the intellectual life 5 he stood for thoroughness and truthfulnessg he illustrated that deep integrity which is the glory of scholarship. He came of an ancestry trained in the uses of knowledge 5 he was in full sympathy with all honest inquiry g there was in the depths of his nature, as well as in all the forms of expression through which he gave himself to the world, aninnate nobility. The touch of such a man in the dawning life of a college is both priceless and imperishable. He contributes to its life, in the formative period, an impulse which is transmitted to successive generations of students. He helps largely to make that impalpable but enveloping atmosphere which expresses the soul of a college g something apart from formal educational instrumentalities and yet, in the deepest sense, educational. This subtle influence always affects the most sensitive minds and often has more to do with the unfolding of the individual intellectual life than formal instruction. The greatest teachers continue to stimulate, to awaken, and to enrich long after they have ceased to instruct in the lecture room. The vitality which makes this teaching so inspiring and contagious lives on in the places from which they have departed, and becomes part of that endowment which 52 makes permanent provision for the higher work of a college. Ilr. lirooks was a teacher by the bent of his nature and by the compulsion of his conception of a man's work in the world. By word and by action he strove to express and transmit those lessons of experience in which lies the wisdom of life. He was content to accept nothing for its material uses alone g he saw all things in a great spiritual order, and he strove to leave the significance of all things in their relation to growth and character. Rich in inherited moral and intellectual endowments such as few receive, he constantly added to his own knowledge and as constantly endeavored to share his gains with others. His moral enthusiasm and his intellectual eagerness drew him constantly and strongly to those who were younger than him- self, and whose paths were not yet clearly traced. He was full of almost passionate desire to clear both the way and the vision g to make life seem so rich and full to others as it seemed to him, Such a nature makes itself felt more by the spiritual impulse which Hows from it than by direct instruction g and because he was the man he was Dr. Brooks will always remain, not only one of the founders, but one of the teachers of the College. Such a service as Dr. Brooks rendered to Barnard College cannot be secured by any kind of reward, it was the natural devotion of a lofty spirit. He gave time, thought, intellect, judgment, and affection without measure or stint. No one will ever know how much of actual life he gave the College g for no one kept account of his labors in its behalf. He brought to it a deep conviction that it was needed, that it had a great work to do, and that the higher its standards and the more thorough its methods, the more generous the support it would ultimately receive. His faith was one of its chief sources of strength in the early days of uncertainty and experiment g and his works matched his faith. Modest, silent, shunning all formal recognition, he gave himself to the College with a purity of devo- tion which his associates can never forget. He has gone, but his influence and his spirit remain. And in the days to come, when the College is nobly housed, richly endowed, and strong in the life and traditions of a great city, his name and his memory will still be counted among its best possessions. Those of us who knew and loved him can imagine no return of his service so sweet to him as the helpfulness, the integrity, and spiritual power which are surely coming to Barnard College in a future which he saw with clear vision, even while he knew that for him it must be but a dream of the days to COUWC- 53 HAMII,'1'ON W. MAi:iE. SONNET. HENCE came to me that sudden, quivering heat Of memory that presses down the heart To others, of the world a common part, 'l'o me, so passionately sad and sweet ? Some south wind softly kissing the ripe wheat, Or some dark pool wherein the minnows dart, Some held where scent of clover blossoms start, Some tune that may not of itself be sweet, Comes with the imperious hand as one of old, And parts the waters of the deep, still years That on the sleeping memory have rolled g This quivering anew with life appears, Then fadeth, leaving only of its gold, Eyelids that ache with pressing back the tears. 7 54 THE POSITION OF THE COLLEGE WOMAN IN THE WORLD. HERE have been several articles in the magazines this year, dealing with the relation of the college woman to the world. Their discussion or exposition has been broadly along two lines: the relation of the college woman to the professions and business, and her relation to matrimony. The point of view seems to be that of advanced advocates of women's rights. The writer of one of the articles practically takes as her subject the question: What becomes of the students after leaving college? for she has carefully accounted for the entire alumnae of Vassar, from those who are married or are teachers, to those who are readers, singers, or superintendents of cooking , as if the advantages to be derived from college training were only in proportion to tabulated occupation entered after graduation. The writer remarks that if a college girl does not marry, she is exceedingly likely to do something else. Many graduates do not engage in a gainful occupation, but there are few cases in which the impulse derived from the four years' training does not make itself felt in some form outside the round of old-fashioned duties. The writer of another article goes still farther, and practically declares that she looks down on man, and thinks any woman who wastes her time by marrying and having a home, absolutely foolish. This endless ranting about woman's having only a distinctly professional aim through her college course, and for her life ever after, must necessarily tend to injure the cause of higher educa- tion. The subject has been dwelt on so often and at such length that the majority of people have become thoroughly imbued with the idea that every girl who goes to college must have some such sinister purpose in mind g and they invariably take it upon themselves, through curiosity or some other motive, to ferret out this hidden reason. I have been asked so many times Why, and for what pur- pose I am going to college, and my reply, Because I want to learn something, has been met with such an incredulous smile, that, were it not for positive knowledge to the contrary, I should begin to fear lest I form a class unique among students, and hitherto unheard of. It is possible that in spite of three years at college, my ideas on the subject of women's higher education are not at all up-to-date, and it is probable that they can have no effect in counter- 55 acting the prevailing impressionsg nevertheless, I am going to give them, if only to show that the new doctrines concerning a college woman's place in the world after she has graduated, have not been universally accepted by college students. The position which a college woman shall occupy in after life is largely determined by the motive with which she enters and goes through her course g hence it is essentially necessary that this guiding purpose should be the loftiest one possible, if college training is to insure success. First, then, the one and sole reason for which a girl should go to college should be that the course may help her to become a perfect woman, as truly noble and broad-minded as possible, fitted to meet and cope with life in whatever way it shall present itself to her, and anxious to make reason and the will of God prevail. College will help her in this, not because it will enable her to read Hebrew and Greek, or to understand the most abstruse metaphysics and the highest mathematics, but because it will give her a truer insight into, and understanding of, all life, through the broad sympathy which necessarily must be awakened by her study of the present, not only in its own light, but in comparison with that of past ages as well. For the study of ancient literature, history, and thought is absolutely valueless unless it be used merely as a background for the history, literature, and thought of our own time. But if the student is working to become this 4' perfect woman, the study of books should be only one of the many means for her advancement during the four years g the other sides of her character should receive equal attention, so that she may be thoroughly developed in every direction,-spirit- ually, morally, physically, and socially, as well as mentally, This may possibly mean the prevention of women becoming zealous followers of professions and business to the neglect of the more 'f old- fashioned domestic activities, but such a contingency would not be lamentable, for it cannot be maintained that it is pre-eminently woman's vocation to become a walking encyclopaedia, or an authority on professional, business, or educational subjects of every sort and description. I do not mean by this to convey the impression that I disapprove of women supporting them- selves, for I believe that every girl and woman should be capable of caring for herself, if necessary, and I highly honor those women who become their own bread-winners rather than be a burden on someone else, or sit around as decidedly useless, though possibly ornamental, members of society. 56 And it is just along this line that a college education is perhaps of most practical value g nevertheless no college woman should feel that her training has been wasted if she does not put it to some such use immediately, for she assuredly can be of equally great value by standing for sweetness and light, the best that is in the world, in her own home, and among her own friends and acquaintances, as by going abroad to do battle for women's individual and collective rights. There has been a great deal of talk also about college women marrying. The general public seem to be under the impression that college graduates mmm! marry, simply because they are college graduatesg while the advocates of advanced college women claim that they remain unmarried, not only because they wish to be independent, but because they are so inhnitely superior to men that they wish to have nothing to do with them. If the purpose with which we have decided a girl should go to college, be carried out, it will effectually solve this question, as well as that of a professional career, and put it in its true light. In the first place, the college woman who has gained a certain amount of self-dependence by having a well-developed brain, and by the knowledge of her ability to care for herself, will not be willing to marry the first man, whoever he may be, who may happen to come along and offer to give her his name and a home. In this it may be said she is more particular than many of her sisters, and if it be maintained that all women should marry, simply for the sake of marrying, then a college education is certainly detrimental. But if the opinion be held that a woman should make of herself the best she possibly can, and that she should not make it the end and aim of her existence to marry, merely because she has nothing else to do, and no one to take care of her, then the position of the average college woman will be upheld, for she regards marriage in so exalted and sacred a light that she would be unwilling to sacrifice herself and it unworthily. She looks for something in a man higher than mere good-nature, pleasing manners, or financial success, and when she marries she does so because she can give admiration, respect, and honor, not from policy or mere blind affection. The college girl may be far more particular than another in her choice, but it might be a profitable search to discover, if possible, whether the marriages of college women are not happier and more satisfactory as a whole than those of their friends who marry simply because every one else is doing it, and they do not want to be left behind. A. C. W. 57 OUR NEW HOME AT MORNINGSIDE. Q' OICTRY is said, by those who know, to be an abler teacher than science g and there are some 4' who even deny to science all qualihcation for teaching, science they call the discovery of truth, its classihcs, and poetry they call the teacher of truth. However that may be, poetry is at any rate the scholarly teacher, for poetry is learned in the science of education, and she under- stands enough to know that a teacher must take into account his pupils. And that is why she teaches through the medium of the emotions, and is a successful and a popular teacher. For an emotional state, I truly believe, does a great deal toward sharpening the powers of assimilation and toward increasing the sensibility and receptiveness of the mind to impressions and ideas. What teaching shall we not have at our new home on Morningside with Science, our well established goddess, transplanted into an atmosphere of poetry? For we shall be living in a true atmosphere of poetry, the very best sort of poetry at that, beautiful nature. When shady green lanes and the white columned peristyle, and hanging vines, and black gowned girls and cool breezy halls, and an imaginary perfume of musty books wafted from across the way,- when a perfectly poetic atmosphere causes a heightened thrill of emotion, and helps toward the per- fect inner harmony, and helps toward the grasping of truth and its assimilation and application, then, I think, we will appreciate what our new home on Morningside Heights means to us. We deplore that we cannot publish the plans of our new Morningside home g but they are not yet entirely completed. We have, however, a general idea of the situation and the building. The building will occupy the entire block between Clermont Avenue and the Boulevard, and 119th and I2Oth Streets. Its shape will be oblong with the main entrance on 119th Street. For the present the centre building only will be erected and doubtless we shall be able to utilize the ground of the wings as tennis courts. The campus will occupy the space in front of the centre building and will be surrounded by shady paths. As for the building itself, internally it will be a triumph of architec- ture, and externally it will have a peristyle, and what more can we wish for. There will be class- rooms without number and a great study and library hall 3 laboratories to the extent of one third of the building, there will be the I3ean's offices on a fioor by themselves, and a Kappa Kappa Gamma room g and there will be a glorious restaurant on the top floor. In short there will be perfection. E. S, 58 A MATTER OF OPINION. Cf' 1 'ARTHA KIRKHAM reached college one morning about fifteen minutes late, this made her a trifle cross, for Martha prided herself on her punctuality. The study rooms had a N wofully deserted look, and the few stray girls that were wandering about seemed embar- rassed bythe quiet that they contended for so vigorously in the undergraduate meetings. Martha stood on the register a moment debating whether she should go up-stairs for the remainder of the period. As she turned to go, her sleeve brushed against the bulletin-board and two notices fell to the floor g stooping to pick up these, she set free three more, and the wicked little pins dropped glee- fully down the register. Oh hang, said Martha, and she viciously jabbed one pin through the five notices and secured them. just then Marian Tracy appeared. tt Why, Marian, you late too. Let 's cut Latin and do Greek- I was unprepared last time, and Dr. King looked daggers-the period 's half gone now, anyway. College girls are apt to forget such trifles as a U good morning. 'l'o be sure,-quite so,-will anyone qualify that statement? the one point which we want to get clearly in mind to-day is- t' Do stop, you goose, and go get your Pfam. I don't see, Martha, why you care so much for Dr. Kings opinion, said Marian, as they sat down together at one of the long tables. Oh, Marian, his hair is so pretty and he dresses so well g his necktie and shoes are poems of 0zl6z'1'rl'4lXha'lj'. 't Yes, but he has n't any manners,-Oh, dear, I forgot to bring a dictionary,-never mind, I guess we 'll know most of the words,-why he even asked Edith to shut the window the other day. just because a man is an instructor, I don't think- t' But I do, interrupted Martha, and that 's just why I like Dr. King g we are here simply as students, and have no right to demand the smaller courtesies of society g and a vigorous discussion followed, for both girls were mounted on their hobbies, 59 These two girls were among the best students of their class, and both were great favorites, for, in college life, there is little of that ill-feeling toward the successful which is too common in the outer world. lXlartha liirkham enjoyed college immensely and gained a vast deal more from it than most girls, but her pet theory was that college was no place for girls, and the more learned a girl was, the less use there was for her in this world. When confronted by the inconsistency of her own position she would always say : It 's my misfortune, not my fault, that I was born with a love for study g I can't help it, I am talking for those who can. The bell put an end to the time-worn discussion, and in a moment or two the studies were filled with buzz and chatter. All sorts of questions were considered, from the comparative merits of Sopho- cles and Euripides to the latest way of arranging the hair. A large number of girls congregated at the foot of the staircase, to plan for the next tea. An instructor coming slowly down the stairs won- dered how he could ever make his way through the crowd of chatterers. He looked about to find someone else to take the initiative, but the upper hall was empty. ffacftl rrfva mia, he murmured, and started down. 't Pardon me-May I pass, please ?-Excuse my passing before you-I beg your pardon-may I trouble you ? and he reached the front door. Girls, you ought to be ashamed to block up this passage, said a dignified Senior, Dr. Turner is awfully shy, and he turned all colors of the rainbow trying to work his way through. He ought to have said so, then, retorted a Sophomore. 'f lVIr. Lodge asked me to shut the door the other day, because, he said, he was so shy, he did n't like to have other people listening to him. That 's the reason I always do mathematics during his hour. I don't like to embarrass him by listening, said Marian Tracy pensively, as she and Martha joined the group. The two friends passed on up-stairs, resuming their interrupted discussion. I 'll tell you what I 'll do, Marian, said Martha, thoughtfully, 'f if you can prove to me that there is anyone-an unbiassed person, I mean of course-who would prefer to meet and talk with a college girl rather than one who is not versed in college lore-ruling out extremes in both cases, that is blue-stockings and simpletons, I 'll take you to lunch at Pursell's the first chance I get. Cro 't That 's a sentence worthy of Andocides himself, my dear 3 but I sha'n't be outdone either in sentences or generosity. If you can find anyone who knows the average college girl-the kind that can enjoy nonsense as much as anyone, and that cares as much for a new gown as a Greek root-and still likes a non-collegiate better, I 'll take you to lunch at the first opportunity, see? And, more- over, let 's take Friday's tea as a field of exploration. 't Agreed, said Martha, and Dr. King noticed that hour that his two star pupils did not seem as interested as usual. During the tea the two girls saw but little of each other. Both were in high spirits and were talking vigorously to those from whom they thought they could get the desired opinions. The rooms were crowded as usual, and not until six o'clock was the decrease in numbers perceptible. Then the students, who had discreetly waited until all the guests had been served, came in swarms toward the depleted tea-table. Marian and Martha were too excited to eat, so they sat down on the study sofa to give an account of their success. I 'm thinking I 'll have to take you to lunch on Monday, Patsy, so you can be considering what you want from now to then, laughed Marian. I am not so sure, dear, listen to my experience, I could only get two people to talk on the subject-Mr, Shaw and Dr. King. Mr. Shaw was no good, of course g the lirst thing he said was that within fifty years a woman who had not been to college would be at the same social disadvantage as a man who is in that position now, and that women would not have to wait fifty years either if it was n't for a few narrow-minded, old-fogy cranks. Then I lay in wait for Dr. King, for I thought I was sure of him. I guided him gently up to the subject, and thought I had fairly got him on the right track, when he said : ' Do you know, Miss Kirkham, I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing like college life to uproot conceit and selfishness, and the more I meet college girls the more jolly and companionable they seem to be.' After that I did n't have the heart to hunt up any more victims. Now tell me about your experience. Well, began Marian, you know Mrs. White, that charming English woman, a friend of the Dean's. She is over here visiting the colleges, and I thought of course she would be on my side. 61 lless introduced me to her. She was talking to Ilr. Turner about how pleased she was with the liarnard girls-- 't That sounds hopeful, interrupted Martha. Sol thought, but wait a minute. She went on to speak 0566, as our friend Andocides says. I 'll give you her speech nraiio rfmz. She said : 'I rather expected to find the girls mere blue-stock- ings, and was agreeably surprised to find them so jolly, but still I never feel quite at ease with them g even their fun has a classical flavor, you know, and as a class they certainly grow self-centred.' And Ilr. 'l'urner-the wretch-agreed with her, and said that no matter how nice a college girl was, he could feel her critical eye a block and a half away, and her characteristic earnestness and dignity were enough to freeze the tropics. What art' you laughing at, girls ? asked a tired committee girl, coming in a moment later. f' Oh, nothing, said Marian, possessing herself of the plate of crackers the other held and feeding them to Martha by bits. Only Patsy and I are going to lunch twice at Pursell's next week because we have discovered for ourselves the truth of that mighty proverb, written perhaps by some 'mute, inglorious lVIilton,' ' Different men have different opinions , some likes apples and some likes inionsf I. E. W. 62 HOW IT CAME ABOUT. HEY were rehearsing in the fourth story back. It was just after the opening of the fall term, and the Sophomores were to give a play the following Friday when they entertained the incoming Freshman class. It was late in the afternoon so that no one disturbed them, for the Banjo Club, which had been rehearsing in the next room, had long since ceased from its labors and had departed. It was the final dress rehearsal, and, as is customary on such occasions, everything stood on its head, if one may so speak. Indeed, there must have been a number of heads available, for all the actors lost theirs 3 even Marian Lee, the hero and star performer, was openly convicted of dragging in the grand finale at the end of the very first act. Marian Lee made a very charming hero. She had a brother up at the other college, and was just his height and near enough his build. Crowned with a long-haired wig, she was indeed quite his double. They were just beginning the last act when Marian discovered that she had left some of her necessary properties in her locker in the study on the tirst floor. Down stairs she ran, only stopping long enough to make sure that the Dean's office and the Registrars were empty. The building was deserted, for it was past recitation hours. However, as she rushed into the study, she barely escaped some Seniors who were coming in for their books after a late lecture at Columbia. Gathering her things together and waiting to hear the front door close after the departing Seniors she started to go back upstairs, and in so doing did a very imprudent thing. Instead of going through the back study, which opens at the foot of the stairs, she walked through the folding-doors into the front hall, not knowing that in letting out the Seniors james had let in Dr. Hyslop, who had come after a book which he had left on the shelf under the hall-mirrors. Marian started to Hee down the hall, but suddenly stood stock still as though she had been shot. Dr. Hyslop said : Good-day, Mr. Lee, and without waiting for a reply, which was fortunate, went on, that Wundt you asked me for I can let you have to-morrow if you will come in to see me. 03 Now, Dr. Hyslop had lNlarian's brother Fred under his instruction, for Fred happened to be a junior. In the momentary glance he had had of her face he could not have seen that the chin was less square or that the eyes were deeper set. Nor did he notice in the dimness of the hall the differ- ence in the hair. The wig was sufficiently shaggy for the illusion. Marian had not turned, but stood staring blankly at the bulletin-board by the register and vaguely wondering why she felt so hot when the heat was turned off. She wondered too what he was thinking of her-or rather Fred's rudeness in not turning. She did not realize that it was scarcely a second before james, who had been on the grin from ear to ear, showing two rows of flashing teeth, said, in that soft, insinuating voice of his, by way of coming to her rescue : Dr. Hyslop, and the professor, turning, forgot all about young Lee and his Wundt. He was in an abstracted mood, having been deep in thought. Thank you, James, he said, not because he saw anything to be thankful for in -Iames's mumbled remarks about the book in his hand, but because he was always a polite man. And he started briskly toward the other college wishing for seven-league boots, for he was going to meet a friend to talk over hypnotism and illusions. Dr. Hyslop reached lforty-ninth Street, and was entering the great gate-way of the campus when Fred l.ee came swinging down the walk with a small derby resting gently on his great shock of hair and a book under his arm. Dr. Hyslop looked carefully behind him-the way you do when you half expect to see something. He saw nothing unusual. Good-day, Mr. Lee. Good-day. Dr. Hyslop stopped. Here was a psychological problem g his soul expanded at the thought. You have been at a lecture? the instructor inquired, knowing that the boy could not have come up from Barnard before himself, and that what he had seen was therefore an illusion. Fred mentally con- gratulated himself that he had not been cutting. A long conversation ensued between doctor and student. At length they shook hands and parted, the doctor saying that the matter must be written up for the Society for Psychological Research. Fred proceeded up Madison Avenue. He was feeling rather queer. He had reached the middle of the block between Fiftieth and Fifty-first Streets when he came to a sudden halt. First he chuckled, then he laughed aloud, and finally he threw back his head and roared so loud that the O4 passers-by began to stop and look. This only tickled him more. But when a policeman came toward him in a business-like way he decided to go on. Have a fit ? inquired the man in blue. You bet, he answered. Of course it was a most unconscionable thing to do, but Marian would have it so. She said the matter had gone too far to be explained. If Fred had only thought in time when Dr. Hyslop had first spoken to him on the campus the very day of the occurrence it would have been different. But the evidence for the Society for Psychological Research was under way and it would be too embar- rassing for her now that the thing had gone so far. And so it rested. The next year, when Marian was a junior and studied Psychology, she sometimes imagined she saw Dr. Hyslop looking at her as though trying to place where he had seen that face before, and, knowing his powers of association, she trembled. But nothing ever happened. E. P. B. 65 ATHLETICS AT BARNARD. HEN we are asked what kinds of athletic exercises are popular at Barnard, we reply at once that the students discard basket-ball, golf, tennis, foot-ball, and all other forms of conventional, undignified amusement prevalent at our sister colleges. We prefer rather to blend the physical with the mental, moral, and spiritual into one harmonious and stupendous whole, and thus secure a mms sam: in cozforc mlm. Our daily, and even hourly, constitutionals in the main corridor furnish an excellent example of the new and improved system. What chance visitor has not noted with delight the groups of intellectual maidens, walking arm in arm, discussing in the same breath predestination, the merits of Sophocles, and the excusability of lies l In addition to the peripatetic system of exercise, the corridor is also the scene of the famous one- hundred-yards dash. This celebrated exhibition comes off semi-annually at the first of February and some time in June. For weeks beforehand the contestants may be seen practising on the track, which extends from the door of the back-study to the bulletin-board. Upon the final day, the scene is truly exciting because of the large number of students engaged. It is noticed, however, that at the goal some of the most successful sprinters turn wearily aside, and with languid step retire to weep in secret. To those who go in for heavy gymnastics, the four flights of stairs afford a large scope for per- sonal exploit. Certain underclassmen have even been known to ascend, without stopping, from Mrs. Kelly's refrigerator to the top floor cloak-room and still have breath enough for a ten-minute argu- ment on Matthew Arnold. There are certain things, however, qua' ad tfv111z'fzm1da rorpora pertineni. The chief of these is the elevator in the laboratory building. This we deem especially pernicious, for we have often been sadly compelled to notice that the block-and-a-half walk from said laboratory to Barnard has required half an hour for its execution. We are in doubt, however, whether this sad circumstance is due entirely to Kffllllllltlfd forpora or whether one must allow for the proximity of the laboratory to the 51111115 hzzzzzfzzzzhsgue 9 characteristic of Huyler's. 'lf The reader will note that we have not forgotten our Caesar. 66 Certain minor exercises, such as climbing tables and chair-arms, racing to get to recitations on time, and opening the front door for Seniors and other heroes, are beneath the notice of the skilled athlete, but frequently indulged in by the Freshman. But we must not close without mentioning their marvellous lung development, acquired no doubt by long years of untiring practice. An athlete of extraordinary powers in this line has been known to entice the Registrar from her onerous and important duties two stories below for a nearer and more satisfactory hearing. We marvel at the selfishness of the said Registrar, for always, after having her- self enjoyed the above-mentioned dulcet harmonies, she shuts the door, thereby debarring others from sharing her enjoyment. After having said so much about our extraordinary development there is no need for us to cite further instances of it to prove our prowess or to demonstrate how beneficial our training has been. Everyone will readily admit, we are sure, that by our novel and unique system we have gained a posi- tion in the world of athletics which even the victors at the Olympic games could not attain. H. St. C. and I. H. 67 ONE ROOM. G' UST now everyone connected with Barnard College is looking forward to the new buildings. 4 Agreeable as is the contemplation, it is not improbable that the old building may thereupon pass into an oblivion that is undeserved. Though the present quarters of the College are evidently no more than a transition makeshift, enough of importance has happened there that cannot but be remembered, that should serve to connect the rooms themselves with these memories. I propose to take one single room, and enumerate its various successive uses, after which let him who dare assert that the present absurd little building has no interest because no local tradition. At hrst it was the study and luncheon room both. Being far more popularly employed as the latter, as the former it was honored more in the breach than in the observance, a compound more like a salon resulted, a system with compensations and disadvantages in the present instance. Glow of soul is all very well, but as a method of imbibing a definite amount of knowledge at a definite time, it often goes back on its admirable theoretical utility. It was convenient, however, when we had entertainments, for then the guests could await with some show of decorum the bidding to ascend, instead of being without place for the sole of one's foot, except the stairs and the refrigerator, as at present. Last year, however, this room was elevated or degraded, I am uncertain which, to the rank of ordinary lecture room. Chapel was held there, Many, probably, will not associate chapel with this or any room 3 many, I venture to say, have no idea where it is. I do not know why Amzua! should be all puff, with a gross blindness for our deficiencies. We should adopt some crusade or other, and the question of chapel comes to hand very readily for this purpose. It will not hurt anyone to come. On the contrary it creates repose of mind, and does away with demoralizing haste at the beginning of the day. If you begin to plan your arrival at college in time for chapel, gradually you will make 9.30, 9.25, 9.20, 9.18, 9.17, 9.16, and, in the course of a month, 9.15. Undoubtedly many wish now when it is too late, as the shilling shockers say, that they had been more frequently in Dr. Brooks's time. It used to be pleasanter, of course, with few there than with a crowd, but of all notions, this is the 63 most selfish. At Smith, no one is obliged to attend, but the students go in such crowds that they have to stand. Do let us leave off our inferior showing in this item. After chapel the fray began. One needs only to say lecture, to call up scattering images of straining to hear above the noise, writing on the blackboard, covered with chalk dust, the endeavor to keep awake, or to look wise, or to choke a laugh. But pleasanter as well as more creditable recollec- tions are those of hours when new ideas came definitely into one's possession. Every prejudice overcome, every truth more clearly perceived, every difficulty subdued, is a step ahead. So wrote Dean Stanley for his own students. The other professional use of the room is that of the function termed consultation, when two people converse earnestly, at times, with heat, over three or four sheets of paper, eight by ten, and two others sit in the opposite corner with books before their faces, and pretend they are not listening. Later on, some undergraduates enter, peer around with a hunted expression of countenance, lock the door, try it, bring out a mirror, talk in whispers, pull out one another's sleeves, etc. They escape by one door as people enter by the other to leave their coats. Obviously I mean to suggest a tea. The theme has been dwelt upon too voluminously and exhaustively heretofore to need treatment here, even if any original ideas on the subject were forthcoming. Rehearsals have taken place here for the regular performances of the clubs, and for grand special presentations by special actors at special times. At class meetings the room assumes a rigorous aspect. Everyonelooks solemn as bents the occa- sion. With hardened tones of voice and haughty demeanor, they debate as to the advisability of reconsidering the motion carried at last meeting, of holding the meetings on Friday instead of Monday, or as to refreshments on some prospective occasion. Last of all, this room has witnessed seasons of private social intercourse, when gossip was retailed, or secrets of state transmitted dangerous to lisp in the study. Seldom, indeed, are these occasions g seldom, of course, are such proceedings to be encountered, in view of the great import of college life and duty and earnestness which, we trust, we do not suffer long to be absent from our minds. Never- 619 theless, we certainly derive satisfaction from time wasted thus in idle talk, for which we are not credited on the bulletin-board. We cannot dispute the plainness of our present structure, but we pause to review the architecture of Carlyle's house, or Lamb's, or Poe's cottage, and numerous others. And confidently do we anticipate, some forty years hence, pointing out this inconspicuous landmark with conspicuous pride. No, we shall say, of course we had no dormitories, nor gymnasium, nor athletics, but if you insist that we had no college life, we say we were too happy to miss it. E. R. S. 70 GRINDS. E. H.
