MOODY ' S papers, which all the readers of Scribner ' s Magazine will remember, gained a remarkable success as a thoughtful and brilliant contribution to the woman question. Revised and enlarged in book form they make a volume notable for their union of sympathy with the intellectual side of woman ' s work and the strong, sane common-sense which clears the ground of crotchets and cant ; while their wit has been, and will continue to be, a source of wide enjoyment.

These tubes have a pinhole orifice at the upper end, and are closed with a Spring-clip. The great convenience of having the various fluid and semi-fluid substances, used in Oil Painting, put up in Collapsible Tubes has long been apparent to Artists, but hith- erto on account of the leakage incidental to the usual method of closing, it has been impossible to issue any but the stiffer prep- arations — such as Medium and Megilp — in this form. Even in the case of the latter the method has been attended, as is well known, with but a partial measure of sue. cess. Messrs. Winsor Newton have there- fore, for some time, endeavored to devise a method of overcoming the difficulty, and they believe that by the invention of their New Spring-clip the adoption of Collapsible Tubes for fluid substances has been now made thoroughly practicable. For Sketch- ing purposes, especially, the use of the New Tubes should rapidly become general. Their compactness, and their unbreakable nature, together with the convenience and the accu- racy with which their contents, from a single drop to a continuous stream, can be delivered by the mere pressure of the finger, combine to give them great advantages over the bot- tles commonly employed.

SANFORD, NEW YORK. FOR the second time in its history the Barnard annual contains the portrait of one who died while devoting to the college all the efficient energy of high intellectual attain- ments and loving enthusiasm. To the excellence of its botanical department more than to any other feature Barnard owes its rapid growth in popularity and prominence, and that excellence was due primarily to Prof. Emily L,. Gregory. Those of us who came into close contact with Dr. Gregory, in her home or in her laboratory, must still feel the influence of that sweet, sunny nature which made her such a delightful acquaintance and friend. In spite of the many serious duties which she performed so admirably, no one ever more thoroughly enjoyed genuine fun, and Barnard fun was, in her eyes, a little better than any other, just because it was Barnard. We cannot but feel, therefore, that there is a peculiar fitness in presenting her portrait as the frontispiece of a volume confessedly devoted to the lighter and brighter side of our college life, and that The Mortarboard must win friends for itself, if for no other reason, because it bears her face upon its opening page.

Sing for us now a farewell, unto students and teachers and classmates, Recounting our deeds of the past, moriturae te salutamus. Many adventures romantic have fallen to ' 98 ' s portion Since last in the Mortarboard ' s pages we blazoned our deeds to the public. First to the land of fair Hell as the war god summoned our Stella, To bind up the wounds of the heroes and kill the victors with kindness, To finish up all the poor Turks whom the Greeks had spared in the battle, A mighty career of heroics, unluckily cut short by measles. Then to the Highlands Atlantic our lunch and ourselves we transported, Learning to pilot the steamer, and braving the thunderstorm ' s fury; And at last in the halls of old Barnard for memory ' s sake we assembled, Robbing the ruins dismantled and bearing off placards for trophies Till three- forty-three was deserted and silence reigned o ' er its roof-tree, Never again to be broken by laughter of girlish collegians. Now in October again for the last time we gathered together, Older and possibly wiser and still undiminished in number, For Rosalie, Frances, and Grace had left us to mourn them departed But other three damsels scholastic appeared in the room of the missing. Watterson, Farwell, and Perkins — these names do we add to our record. Tragic, O Muse, is our strain when we tell of our torments financial, Tell of the treacherous Thorpe, and the publisher, deaf to entreaty — Thorpe, of our enemies chief, may the Furies bring him to judgment, As the wind breaks the trees of the forest may Mortarboards crush him to atoms. Gladly we sing of our hero, who saved us from wrath and destruction ; Snatched us from bankruptcy ' s jaws and our Mortarboard notes from dishonor. As Orpheus charmed with his lute, so he, with a Steinway piano, 48 Prevailed o ' er our enemies fierce, with the force of sweet music o ' ercame them. Gratefully daughters of Barnard shall honor his name with rejoicings, And ' 98 echo his praise till Morningside ' s hill is deserted. Gayly we sing of our buildings, the spacious halls and the stairways, Sing of our rooms multitudinous, classrooms and rooms for receptions, For faculty, wheels and trustees, for sandwiches, seminars, Seniors ; Sing of the plaster and paint, the showers of shining free silver. Scarce do we know our own selves in this region of newness and grandeur, We who, in old Forty-fourth Street, claimed only the Refrigerator, And, homeless, encamped on the stairs when trustees met in the study ; Chant of the infants in buttons who frolicked through hallways scholastic, Who filled us with longing and grief as we gazed at their frivolous childhood And sadly recalled the omniscient, the Sphinx-like, immovable Jimmy. Many the conflicts courageous we waged with the winds on the campus, Climbing o ' er brick heaps and planks or gracefully plowing through mud holes, Clutching our hats in despair and clinging to dripping umbrellas, ' ' Tearing up ' ' Library steps, proclaiming ourselves as strong-minded. Many the courses we crammed and varied the subjects elected, For ' 98 ' s tastes are diverse, though her heart is united and loyal. Surely ' twas co-education where Barnard wrote all the essays To be calmly dissected and jumped on by lords of creation judicial ; Surely ' twas just like old times when we broke forth in ardent discussion, Seeking the Summum Bonum and silencing Spencer forever. Conning our big Sociologies (sometimes page three-hundred-sixty?). Sometimes we thronged to philosophy, studying Plato ' s aesthetics, Learned who could best make a bed, the carpenter, sculptor, or housemaid ; Sometimes we scattered in couples to classics and Sanscrit and Hebrew, Testing the Home for Incurables, reading the rules of Poetics, Learning just how many mouthfuls ascetics may eat in a twelvemonth. Sometimes we muddled our faculties, tracing a slippery Demand Curve, And wandered through mazes financial of crises and banking and panics. Sing of the Great Unwashed and the poor little terrified Specials, Sing of the money we squandered on Cody-stamps, not legal tender. Chant the august Teachers ' College, that sacred and awful inclosure, Where we learn how untutored we are and how badly the Profs, have ? «taught 49 How, any way, teaching ' s no use, for the children will always hear crooked, And fail to see double and what not, through not having studied psychology. Now, since our space is all filled, we pass over our good times together, The play where we peeked from the gallery, teas where we chatted and jollied, The Christmas festivities merry when classmates with fun entertained us, For further details of these meetings refer to our memories ' tablets, Where all will be found firmly stamped in colors ne ' er to be faded. Your task is accomplished, O Muse, fly back to the vales of Parnassus, Fly o ' er the fishy deep and the craggy, deep-shadowing mountains, For, ere many moons have gone by, we too shall have ceased from our labors, And as shadowy shapes of the past alone be remembered at Barnard. (Of course we may all of us flunk, but that surely will not be recorded, And I vow that this hist ' ry ' s my last, so be patient, it soon will be ended.) But if ever a student of Barnard shall chance to look over these pages, Or come upon some little relic of ' 98 ' s sojourn in college, A brief, or a stray daily theme, or a name in some dusty old volume, Let her pause for a moment and say, as she turns to her task interrupted, Ah, ' 98 ; yes, I remember them.

The Objector Si ninety-nine AFTER a careful consideration and trial of the varied metres in her repertoire, the Historian has found not one really suited to this exalted use. Hexameter is certainly old, and decidedly hackneyed — witness its voluminous use by Homer, Virgil, and the Historian of ' 98 ; iambic dimeter catalectic is far too flippant, while anapaestic tetrameter would give undue emphasis to the solemn dignity of the Class. Plain, honest prose, therefore, seems best fitted to voice our solemnities and our frivolities, to celebrate this History of the Class of Ninety-nine. Hear first, then, of that day in the fall of 1895, when History began ; when we twenty-one bewildered Freshmen were disentangled from the crowd in the old front hall, and sent on our first breathless trip up the ladder of learning. From those three steep flights we staggered into that staring- white- walled room beneath the roof; and there, for some three days were we left, neglected and alone, to see what sort of a class we could crystallize into. Some faint hearts quailed at the prospect of meeting all the impressive and unknown classmates about them, and they made for the door of escape. Then bravely uprose the Critic and addressed us, Stay, let us get acquainted! Victory! We stayed. Our tongues were loosed, we learned one another ' s names. Out of the conglomerate mass of the unknown, individuals emerged, charac- teristics appeared ; the bonds of acquaintance, of fellowship, began to unite us, the Class of Ninety-nine was born ! A treasure indeed proved the Critic ; wide was her knowledge of college custom and class necessities. The grateful class, helplessly adrift in a sea of duties of which they knew naught, straightway chose her President, to steer them into the channel of the Freshman year. There was another, whose personality shone forth from the first. Superfluous were the laurels of the Entrance Scholarship for her prominence ; for never was there hour from our first day together, when the cheery voice of L,alage, dulce ridens, dulce loquens, Ealage, was not heard among us. As a reward for this scholarly sociability, Ninety-nine conferred upon her the hon- orable but leisurely office of Vice-President. For recording the eloquence of our meetings, and for extracting dues from empty pocket-books our Ever Ready Member stepped most naturally and bravely into the laborious position of Secretary and Treasurer. 52 In our choice of motto, colors, flower, and cry, we showed an almost prophetic insight into the character our class was to display. Profiting by our Greek scholar ' s research, rpetv h ' ovk ea 7a Uas AOrjvri, we boldly proclaimed, and justifiably, for the goddess of wisdom has ever been generous to Ninety-nine, and has given us no cause to tremble, before even the most formidable examination. Hitherto, in the college world, the color green had invariably connoted an attribute most undesirable, but unfortunately common, in Freshmen. So confident were we, however, in the dignity and sanity of our bearing, that, choosing for our flower the white carnation, we bravely threw to the breeze the colors green and white, and defied the world to associate fresh- ness with the Class of Ninety-nine. We well knew that the calm dignity which was ever ours would obviate any necessity of so frivolous a thing as a class cry ; so cryless we remain to this day. It was not until later in the year that we acquired two other institutions necessary to a well- regulated class — an Honorary Member to attend our festivities and ceremonies, and an Historian to record our glories. Launched on the round of entertainments by our friends the Juniors, we were meanwhile making rapid acquaintance with social life at Barnard. (There is some, ye Freshmen theme- writers !) Gratefully returning the hospitality extended to us, we showed what our versatility could accomplish in the way of entertaining. The genius of our Poet first shone forth to her admiring class in the words of that welcoming ode with which we greeted our guests. After a friendly strife for peanuts was over, oratory and music, personified by Blossom and the Conscientious Member, closed our first festivities. Soon we parted for the holidays ; to meet in sociable contest beneath our President ' s hospitable roof ; to return to the first trial of our strength — the Mid-year Examinations. What need to speak of those? Scanty indeed was the red ink in the record of our marks. Ninety-nine ' s fame in scholarship was straightway firmly established. Our college course has fallen, most fortunately for us, in an era of many ceremonies. The first in our experience came toward the close of our Freshman year — the dedication of Colum- bia ' s new site. Then first we assumed the dignity of mortarboard and gown ; then began our acquaintance with the dust of Morningside Heights — which we, in our innocent inexperience, thought to keep from our black, scholarly garb by energetic brushing and flapping of flowing sleeves. Then, too, the curious gaze, the kodaks and the comments of spectators showed us the public interest in us — thi6 odd race apart — girls who go to college. Our youth condemned us to the tail of the line, and to obscure seats up against the platform, but for an hour at least the gorgeous hoods and tassels of the faculty, the scarlet and ermine of the dignitaries above us, the trained cheers of our brethren of Columbia — in which dignity, alas, forbade us to join — all held our inexperienced attention. We zealously joined in singing the Latin Ode, in spite of the 53 scornful criticisms of the Sophomores behind us on the quantity of our vowels. We could not saunter about with the faculty and guests on the terrace above, so we sat heroically attentive to the end. When we filed out from the great blue and white draped tent, amid the courteous cheers and songs of our brother students, our gaze wandered toward our future home, but rocks and squatters ' cabins, fences and Harlem billy-goats hid from us even the site of the now lofty halls of Barnard. After college festivities comes always sober, grinding work. It was not until the grim Finals were conquered, and fresh laurels won, that Ninety-nine assembled again for festive ceremony — assembled at a sumptuous banquet, whose menu rivaled in mystery those solemn rites of our predecessors, which we had met to celebrate. The pleasurable excitement of associating with Ninety-nine never flags, for the Class is continually blossoming forth with some hitherto undis- covered talent. At this memorable luncheon we first became acquainted with the genius for speech-making that lay within us. The Poet, with her usual keen wit and kindly humor, presided as Mistress of the Toasts. She whose wondrous thirst for science and for countless hours of work has won for her the misleading title of the Freak, eulogized most fittingly our Dean. In eloquent response to the toast of Barnard, I,alage showed her tongue as clever in lofty oratory as in class-room chat. The Philosopher mingled wit and philosophic wisdom in reply to Coeducation, while, for once, on the lips of the Critic there was naught but praise — praise for the Juniors. Unappalled by the majesty of her subject, the Pedestrian flashed forth her fiery oratory to the toast of Ninety-nine. Quailing at the thought of the mysterious rites to come, the Honorary Member refused to respond to the toast which was drunk — none the less enthusiastically — to her. To ' ' The Future of Columbia University ' ' the Historian replied with cheerful prophecy. The blind falsehood of her idea of the future it pains her to recall ; for among the glories of Barnard that were to be, she prophesied a perfect lunch-room. After the solemnization of those mysterious rites which it is forbidden to relate, the Conscientious Member brought before us for solution a most delicate problem in diplomacy. Dexterously Ninety-nine solved it, and procured for the archives of the Class one of our most tangible evidences of the fame and worth of our intellects. Once more we met as Freshmen, at the kindly invitation of Meh I ady, in far away Jersey City. Then we scattered to the four winds for the summer months. With an assured confidence in our honored place in the Barnard world, we returned to grapple with the Sophomore year. Two members we sadly missed from our roll ; one new-comer we greeted, who paused with us merely long enough to get our point of view, and then strode ahead of us on her meteoric rush toward a doctorate. With characteristic foresight, Ninety-nine saw the necessity of choosing a President who knew naught of slow and cumbrous Parliamentary I,aw, 54 so that they could rush in business-like manner through their class-meetings and catch those ever-threatening trains and ferry boats. Hence they elevated the Historian to the Presidency. They wisely added conscience and a kindly heart to their government by installing as Vice- P resident the Conscientious Member. Well knowing that no amount of work could mar L,alage ' s cheerfulness, they saddled upon her the labors of Secretary and Treasurer. In somber darkness, gowned in rayless black, we led the trembling Freshmen into the awful realm of the Mysteries. What though the altar flamed with sacrifice of Greek dictionaries, and libations of blazing alcohol were poured forth before Athena ? Still the Critic measured forth her solemn words ; still the steady voice of the Poet led the awful chant. Realizing that our dignity was not complete without the academic garb, we now officially assumed gown and mortarboard — just in time for the ceremony of the corner-stone laying. While the gayly robed faculty balanced on planks and piles of brick, and our Dean aloft, with impressive ceremony — all invisible to us — laid the corner-stone of Brinckerhoff Hall, Ninety-nine stood gazing into the cellar windows and wondering if this chaos could ever be transformed into college buildings. Finally, bracing our backs against the typical Morningside gale of wind, we watched the laying of the second corner-stone, in that court where the clipped elm tree then towered alone, where the proud pillars of Milbank Hall now rise in state. At college, meanwhile, it was judged that our Alpine climbing abilities were sufficiently developed, so our wraps reposed far below, in the dark region of the famous ice-box, the poll- parrot, and the melancholy cat, while our class-room was conveniently lowered to the second floor. There our faith in human nature received its severest shock, when we realized that the History Department actually expected us to work some twenty hours out of the twenty-four. Fiery were the poems in which the Poet voiced our woe ; eloquent the embassies of objection on which the President was sent. We pride ourselves that never class did more to free the college from such exacting tyranny, and never class came through the final ordeal of History Examination more unscathed than Ninety -nine. The Rhetoric Department now postponed further training in mind-reading until our Junior year, and treated us to an absorbing course in the deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics. We shuddered at the woes of Medea, while to. ircuSapta rp(a in the back row vividly set forth, in mimic representation, the death of the unhappy princess. In the toil of these and the many other courses of that Sophomore curriculum — which most certainly needed to be diminished — the holidays came as a welcome pause. We honored with our presence a performance of ' ' Much Ado About Nothing, ' ' where the fair Beatrix showed her appreciation of the compliment by fluttering in her hand our colors — blue and white. Then back we went to cram for the dread Mid-years, and, those gloriously passed, to work doggedly on at our seventeen hours a week. Then we quailed before the smiling irony of our 55 instructress in Plato, and later amazed the whole Greek Department by failing to appreciate the delicate humor of Aristophanes. We served our weary apprenticeship at burrowing among musty volumes for History reports, and got the first taste of the argumentation that was later to overwhelm us. Our Sophomore entertainment, so long postponed through courtesy to our elders, finally passed off most uniquely, under the guidance of ra 7ratSapta rpia. In the resplendence of our costumes we outdid the plays we represented ; while our refreshments, if rather difficult to acquire, made up in their worth for their inaccessibility. The examinations of the dreaded Sophomore year were finally over ; under the stately trees of the new Columbia campus we had aided our friends of Ninety-seven to bid their last farewell to Barnard ; the time had come for us to meet at the mile-stone that marked the middle of our college career, to celebrate that occasion second only to our graduation itself — the Sophomore Triumph. We assembled at the house of our L,archmont member, who had left us a year before, but without whose kindly aid our ceremony could never have been complete. Impressive was the procession which marched to that shaded, rocky summit in the lonely forest. Baskets galore we bore, boxes and rugs and clanking tin pails, promise of the feast to come. We sat long at that memorable banquet ; never shall we forget the salad which one devoted member had risen in the early dawn to make, nor the representative of that noble race of nut-cakes that flourishes in Larchmont. When at last feasting was over, we gathered about the sacrificial blaze upon that rocky pyre. Some were missing from our ranks, two from the row of the condemned. The lack of these two our clever artist easily remedied — with the aid of a sufficiently long stick for one, and a plentiful supply of black charred wood from the fire for the other. When all the faithful had assembled about the flames, the President arose, and reminded them of the peculiar importance and solemnity of the occasion. For Ninety -nine was the last class to undergo the rigors of the old iron-clad curriculum ; to fight its way in a body through the two years of required mathematics. No future class, therefore, can ever rightly celebrate this time-honored ceremony of victory ; no past class had ever cause to rejoice at so complete and glorious a conquest of Mathematics and his attendant demons. It was doubly fitting, then, that our Triumph should be a memorable and impressive one. As Legendre curled in the flames, as the sad effigies writhed and shriveled, and the black smoke poured aloft, the Philosopher bade them farewell with words of wisdom ; Blossom stepped forth from our Jersey Trio and cheered us with lively oratory ; the Critic tempered her comments with kindly eulogy. At last but one figure remained to place upon that laden pyre. As he, the greatest, the most dreaded of all, was cast into the blaze, a vast black cloud rolled out of the west. The elements would grant no less appropriate honor to his departure hence than to that of Crom- 56 well or Napoleon ; for as his mighty spirit passed upward in the flaming smoke, the glare of lightning flashed through the forest, the crash of thunder rolled across the heavens, while the fierce tempest that swept the tree-tops heralded the approach of the accompanying storm. (See Myers, pp. 527 and 650.) Amid this fitting scene that dread genius passed from his power over us. The Poet summoned her Muse to sing of her Class ' s glories ; and then, over the ashes of our Sophomore year, we drank to the health of the Juniors — Ninety-nine. To a new college, a new life, we returned for our Junior year. The clear, breezy air of the Heights, the glorious broad sweep of river and sky, spacious halls and stately cloisters — all have combined to compensate us for rising in the gray dawn, for journeying many weary miles in trains and strolling horse-cars, up multitudinous steps, and through sloughs of mud or dust. Nineteen of Ninety-nine ' s original members braved the scaling of the Heights to return to us. We welcomed gladly to our roll the Wellesley Girl, who has shown so nobly loyalty to class and Mortarboard ; the Classicist, learned in countless Greek courses; the Aristocrat, who turned from the calm and lonely ways of Mathematics to become our comrade in our struggle toward a degree ; and Marjorie — just Marjorie — for whose many-sided character no nickname can suffice, who has brought among us the welcome light of humor. The Philosopher, as President, guides us wisely through the social and literary complications of the Junior year. The Pedestrian has appeared as that paragon of wonders — a Vice-President who energetically works and worries. Our meetings have grown too fluently eloquent, our treasury too overflowingly full, to permit one person to fill the double office of Secretary and Treasurer. So the Objector now condenses our records and Blossom keeps our fat bank account. When we had thus arranged our government we settled down to enjoy the leisure which college opinion attributes to the Junior year. You Juniors, says college opinion, have the idlest and most easy-going of years. Therefore you must elect at least two or three difficult courses, and manage to keep occupied from nine-thirty to three-thirty, anyway ; you must com- pose and edit a marvel of original and polished wit called the ' Mortarboard, ' and strive to make it a paying investment ; you must turn your studious minds to gayety and transform the college into a bower of gorgeous festivities for the Junior Ball ; and oh, by the way, since you really haven ' t anything at all to do, of course you will give the first Undergraduate Tea. We have endeavored to rise to the occasion. We engineered the first Tea to the pleasure of all save the committee, and with the unprecedented result of a balance left over and above expenses. We welcomed, and quickly learned to know and like our numerous younger sisters — the Freshmen. The mental arithmetic of the Junior Ball Committee is at present grappling with the problem of entertaining seven hundred and fifty people for the sum of — but treasury secrets must not be revealed. As for the Mortarboard, O ye readers, 57 look upon it, and tell us how well we have succeeded ! For that leisure, typical of the Junior year, we are still waiting. And thus, for a time, the Historian leaves her class, busy with study and festivity in the lofty halls on those airy, far-seeing Heights we have grown to love. Some faint remembrance of the pleasures and good-fellowship of our by-gone ceremonies she has tried to give. If she has said less of class work and study, of scholarly attainments and honorable ranking, than our glorious past seems to demand, it is because no new praises can be found to crown, no proud boasts are needed to strengthen our noble record. Ask our fellow-students, our instructors, our college, for the reputation of the Class of Ninety-nine ! 5S nineteen finndred NINETEEN HUNDRED found out, upon returning to Barnard last October, just how children feel when, technically speaking, their noses are broken. The new Freshmen were described in the conventional, moth-eaten fashion as the largest, the prettiest, the sweetest, and the most etcetera class that had ever entered Barnard ; and ' oo felt entirely out in the cold. We won ' t pursue the painful analogy further. It serves merely as an explanation for subsequent events, as we endeavor to lead up gracefully to the Mysteries. On Friday, October fifteenth, 1900 put 1901 through a course of sprouts which the latter long will remember with silence and tears. The result of these Mysteries, as publicly known, was that the members of the Freshman Class did not wear their mortarboards or gowns until after the Mid-years. But the unpublished effect of the performance was that the Sophomores concluded that the Freshmen were a pretty jolly set, after all, and that they ' d give them a party. So they did give ' 01 a merry dance and a play that added greatly to 1900 ' s previous renown as a class par excellence dramatic. But to turn from matter to mind, the mental gymnastics of the Sophomores during the year ' 97 were, (to crib from Dominie Sampson) really pro-di-gi-ous. It took them but a short time, for example, to learn that in Rhetoric B, the B stood for anything but Beatus. As for Sophomore Eatin, those who took the courses crowed mightily over those who didn ' t, and told them how very interesting and instructive the recitations were. But they looked at each other when they said it. The members of the Sophomore Greek class entered with great enthusiasm into the ' ' song and dance method of that delightful but eccentric body, the chorus, discussed Medea and were disgusted with Jason in proper but very lengthy fashion. So that when toward the end of the term they found that they had but a very short time in which to read the Ajax, they realized at last from a bird ' s-eye view of their instructor, what Homer meant by a well-grieved Greek. 59 The Rhetorical fiat has gone forth that ' ' oases of rest in sandy deserts of toil is a simile with a flavor of the pyramids and even of the flowers of Eden about it, but it ' s the only metaphor which will fitly describe the heavenly, dolce far niente hours of English XIII. The several sciences were very popular, and the biology students enthusiastically advocated the fascinations of worm-anatomy and bug-dissect ion as compared with the chemical delights of unexpected explosions, unspeakably bad odors, and unending dish-washing. Few of the Sophomores took mathematics. But, of course, those that did, did well in the course. Do you know how to describe a brain as yet uninitiated in a Barnard History course ? Hac tenus inculta is a good way. And a mind which has passed through the historical mill is fully qualified to edit an exhaustive encyclopedia of universal information. When in an American History recitation you are asked, for example, what was the Christian name of Wellington ' s great aunt ' s amanuensis, your chattering teeth and trembling lips refuse to articulate your wild and hurling guess; and you are compassionately informed, Hm, yes. Would be well to learn. Merely a matter of general information ; then ' s when you feel that knot-holes are spacious dwellings compared with certain recitation rooms at certain moments. Take our word for it. If you have heard any ill reports about the class of 1900 during the past year, they have been History reports only. 60 nineteen fiundred and One THER classes come to Barnard to achieve fame, but 1901 had a ready-made reputation long before she even thought of existing. Unfortunately it was a reputation founded solely on the class name, Naughty-one, a shoddy reputation, which 1901 had had no hand in making, and which she absolutely refused to live up to. She was going to be the architect of her own fortune. So she diligently hid her light under a bushel, a very loosely woven bushel, so the light could shine through the cracks. She was ostentatiously humble, aggressively good. She obeyed all the self-government rules, and showed a becoming respect to her elders by submitting to the Sophomore commands not to wear cap and gown until the mid-years. Nay, more, she dieted on parallelopipedons, Greek roots, Roman agriculture, water clocks, and quantities of Barnard ' s Best Brain Yeast. Her elders were charmed. They showed their good-will toward 1901 by asking her now and then to come and play with them and eat ice cream and cake afterward. 1901 always went to these parties and behaved so well that pretty soon everyone left off calling her Naughty-one. So inappropriate, people said, like calling darkey twins ' Pearl and Lilly. ' ' ' After having played this game for four months, 1901 began to stop bluffing. No one need think she ' s as good as she ' s painted. She has nobly finished a noble task ; that is, destroying a 61 bad reputation and building up a good one. Now that she has a good one, 1901 means to take advantage of it. This was shown in the class meeting when she selected a motto, color, flower, and yell. She chose an awfully naughty and equally nice yell for ordinary functions, and a highfalutin musical call for superfine occasions. In choosing a motto she was equally astute. Instead of Sunt Meliores Nobis, as modest members suggested, she adopted Ad Sum mum, which she gives outsiders to believe means Ad Summum Bonum, whereas she herself takes it for Ad Summum Voluptatis. A class which proceeds on such Machiavelian principles is bound to succeed. But above all 1901 prides herself on her appreciation of her own genius. Instructors may come and go, kingdoms may wax and wane, America may fall into oblivion, Barnard may even get her dormitories before 2000 A.D., but the Class of 1901 will never lack an admirer while she herself exists. 62 63 Class Poem READ AT THE SOPHOMORE TRIUMPH, JUNE, 1897 Everybody knows, for it has been stated on good authority, that the class of ' 99 has no originality, nor intellectual independence. Nobody will be surprised, then, to find the class poem appearing in the manner of Kipling ' s Native Born. We ' ve drunk to the Dean, God bless her We ' ve drunk to the blue and white We ' ve drunk to our wise instructors And the praise was theirs of right ; We ' re through the examination, (What marks shall be yours and mine ?) Last toast, and of obligation, Here ' s a health to Ninety-nine. We may change the walls around us But never our hearts that roam ; What matter if stately columns Or a brownstone front be home ? In a cramped ' ' collection of bedrooms ' ' Or in halls of fair design, In frolic and toil and triumph Here ' s a health to Ninety-nine. Then I charge you, charge your glasses, I charge you, drink with me To the days that are past and over, To the days that are yet to be ; 64 To that far, forgotten summer When we tackled our first exam And increased our vocabulary By that grim little verb, ' ' to cram ' ' ; To the dim and distant future, That shall bid us say farewell To our home in the halls of Barnard And all that there befell ; When each shall stand, expectant, In the stately, black-robed line, To the day of its graduation — Here ' s a health to Ninety-nine. A health to Ninety-nine [stand up) And the life we live and know, For a girl may sing of the li ttle things she cares about If a girl will work for the little things she cares about When her college has taught her so. To those that join our number, To those that were ours at first, To those of the brilliant record, And to those whose marks are the worst; To every mother ' s daughter, (And to one of the mothers, too,) To the fun we have had together, And the work there is yet to do. To those that may love and leave us To wait for another year, For, no matter what alien figures On their parchment rolls appear, Be sure, if you search their hearts ' core, You shall find the familiar sign In letters enduring, golden, The mark of our Ninety-nine. 65 To the well-tried, earnest friendship That speaks by the grasp of hand, That needs neither words nor kisses, For we know, and we understand ; To the years that shall see it strengthen And ever more closely twine In the strand of our knitted heartstrings The class of Ninety-nine. The class of Ninety-nine (stand up) We be twenty girls arow, All bound to sing of the little things we care about, All bound to work for the little things we care about, And the best that we feel and know, For our college has taught us so (take hands) With every girl in line, All round the class (and a little strap to fasten it) All round the class (and a little loop to pull it by) — Here ' s a health to Ninety-nine. G. H. G. 66 Retrospect and Prospect IT was in the closing days of last September that for the first time I took my way, in an official capacity, to Morningside Heights. As I passed between the array of stately buildings that gives such promise of the Columbia that is to be, and our own more modest, but still impressive structure, my mind was busy with memories of the past and visions of the future. I thought first of the years during which it had been my high privilege to explain and illustrate to Barnard students, even if in feeble measure, the beauties and excellencies of the literature of ancient Rome. My memory dwelt upon the many delightful hours spent in ' ' the collection of bedrooms, as the old building was once aptly characterized, and I did not fail to note what a magnificent illustration those old days afforded of the truth that splendid structures are no essential element of a college. Conditions further removed from those of an ideal college could hardly be imagined, and yet all — officials, faculty, students — displayed, even amid untoward surroundings, the truest collegiate spirit. The last thought which came to me in my review of the past was this, that one of the most charming features of the old days was the closeness and informality of the contact between teachers and taught, which was in part the result of the very narrowness of our quarters. If, thought I, with our statelier home shall come more of formality, less of the feeling that after all teachers and pupils are but fellow-students, traveling the same road and separated by but a few paces at most, I for one shall feel that the removal to Morningside Heights, with all its immeasurable profit, has involved no slight loss. From the thought of the past my mind turned with high hopes to the future. With a suitable and permanent home of its own Barnard may be said to have for the first time an objective existence, and to be projected forcibly upon the perceptions of our community. Here, so far as we can foresee, we are to have an abiding city ; here we are to meet and fulfill, as best we can, the responsibilities of the future ; here we are to realize, in great measure, let us hope, the limitless possibilities of that future. That Barnard students, present and prospective, will bestir themselves to discharge the duties which will be theirs, I feel assured. Each class in a college plays a definite part in creating the history of that college, in determining its character, and in crystallizing its reputation. Upon the students more than upon anyone else depends the success or the failure of a college. In our own case this will be especially true in the first years at the new site, for these will be preeminently history-making years. The Philistines without will watch with eager eyes to see what use the students make of their privileges, ready to cry I told you so, whether the College succeeds or fails. 67 So much for the musings of a by-gone hour. The first year of our life at the new home is drawing to a close. As I compare the present with the past, I fail to see that the gain which came with our removal has any alloy of loss. The dullest imagination must be impressed and the slowest pulses quickened, as one looks on the pile of buildings we proudly call our own, or walks through its spacious corridors, or sits in its classrooms, so well adapted to their purposes. I am persuaded that to all those who knew the old site, whether as instructors or pupils, there came in October last a larger, fuller inspiration, a stronger resolve to play well their several parts, as the first and chiefest result of the transfer to the broader, freer conditions of the new site. Again, our nearness to Columbia, the mere fact that from our windows we can see Columbia ' s buildings, has its value, in that it impresses upon us by visible, tangible signs the thought that our College is in effect but part of a great University, with its wide resources, its well-rounded equipment, and the prestige that comes from a century and a half of honorable and useful existence. In conclusion, I cannot refrain from expressing my satisfaction that the most jealous observation has failed to reveal, in any essential particular, a difference between the relations which now subsist between instructors and students and those which obtained at the old site.

The question of abolishing Rhetoric C is of the utmost importance. It affects the welfare of the principal students in Barnard College — the Junior class — and since the fame of the College depends entirely upon the Junior Class, the question is of general interest to the world at large. B. A consideration of the question at the present time is specially important because of the numerous valuable articles that have been written upon the subject by members of the Junior Class. These articles may be consulted by special permission of the Department of Rhetoric. 1 II. NARRATION A. Having seen, then, the vital importance of the question at issue, let us consider a few of the facts necessary to a complete comprehension of the matter. The question of abolishing Rhetoric C is of three years ' standing. It originated in 1894, when the course was first introduced. 2 The excitement caused by it has increased yearly 3 until now it has reached a stage where even the instructors are beginning to take an interest in it. 4 We have shown now that the question is of vital importance, and have explained the course of events preceding the present crisis. Let us now proceed to define our terms. B. By Rhetoric C is meant that course in argumentation compulsory in the third year of the Barnard curriculum (unless taken in the Sophomore year by permission of the Dean), which the Freshmen hear of, the Sophomores dread, the Juniors collapse under, and the Seniors exult over. By abolished is meant removed, done away with, annihilated by the Dean, President, or whoever it was that invented arguments. III. ISSUES We have now seen the interest of this question and the origin of the present discussion. We have stated the precise meaning which we intend to attach to our terms in the ensuing argument. Let us next endeavor to discover exactly the questions which we must answer in order to arrive at a definite decision of the matter. Everyone will acknowledge that a course 1 Daily Themes.

(October 23, 1897.) 71 which is not beneficial should be abolished. A course, to be beneficial, must, in the words of the world-renowned educator, Mr. A. Cinch, be cheap, quick, and moral. To find out, then, whether Rhetoric C should be abolished or not, we must answer the following questions : A. Is Rhetoric C cheap? B. Is Rhetoric C quick ? C. Is Rhetoric C moral ? IV. ARGUMENT A. Rhetoric C is not cheap, because 1. The paper costs 14 cents for 50 sheets, 5 and 2. At least twenty sheets are used for every brief because a. Two extra sheets are wasted on each theme. The indorsement consisting of the writer ' s name, the number, and title of the essay, should be placed in the upper right-hand corner of the first and last pages. Nothing else should be written on these pages. ' ' a b. Four pages, at least, are wasted each time, because the instructor unreasonably objects to numerous mistakes in spelling on any one page. 1 c. The legitimate length of the brief itself requires at least fourteen pages. 3. Fasteners cost 1 cent apiece, 8 and 4. Two of these are expected on each theme, because a. The instructor likes to au gment his private stock by removing the lower one. 5. Red ink usually costs 10 cents a bottle, although Macy sells it for 9 cents. 9 6. A bottleful is used by the instructor on each theme. 1 B. Rhetoric C is not quick, because 1. The instructor expects each student to put 400 hours on each brief, 1 1 and 2. Four briefs have to be written during the college year. 1 2 3. The argument that, if the demands of Rhetoric C were less comprehensive, the Junior Class would have nothing to grumble about, is not valid, because a. Their previous career has demonstrated their ability to discover reasons for complaint under circumstances most unpropitious for such discovery. 1 3 5 Price-list Columbia College Book-store, p. 13. 6 Circular of Department 0 Rhetoric and English Composition, 1897-1898, p. 2. 7 Stenographer ' 1 s Report 0 Consultations in Room 20b— passim. 8 Price list Columbia College Book-store, p. 4.

I. 13 The Junior Class, by Any One as Knows ' Hm— passim. 72 C. Rhetoric C is immoral, because 1. It obstructs the students ' sense of honesty, because a. A reference is insisted upon for every statement of fact, and When there are no genuine ones to be found the students shamelessly evolve them from their inner consciousness. 2. It teaches students to waste valuable time, because a. The time spent in argumentation is wasted, because girls can never learn to argue, anyhow. This is obvious . b. The time is valuable because it should be devoted to the Junior Ball, Mortar- board, Teas, and other social functions. 3. It teaches girls new and sulphurous swear-words. Examples could be cited, but space forbids. V. CONCLUSION We have seen now that Rhetoric C has failed in three respects. It is not cheap ; it is not quick ; it is immoral. We must conclude, therefore, that it is not beneficial and should consequently be abolished promptly and effectually. E. M. K. 73 Room 206. THE Girl walks decorously in to consultation, followed by the mingled jeers and good wishes of her friends. She lays her brief gently upon the table, sits down — and waits. In fact, she waits some time. Then, as nothing happens, and she feels her reputation as a conversationalist imperiled, she hazards a remark — not about the weather, to be sure, but of about the same caliber. Silence — unbroken, profound. It ' s a hideous subject, remarks the Girl to the surrounding air, somewhat defiantly. Signs of animation begin to appear. It is hard, admits the Man reluctantly. ' ' How can you argue about it ? This eagerly from the Girl, who flatters herself she has espied an opening. You can ' t ; and a deep hush falls while the girl tries to remember which word was the accented one. I can ' t read this, is her next venture, as she points to the trail of a serpent neatly executed in red ink. Valuable, explains the Man, and looks distinctly bored. Sarcastic, thinks the Girl, and pitches in again, bound if possible to extract some useful information. Get at the theory of the thing, suggests the Man. I thought you didn ' t want theories ? objects the Girl. I don ' t, he assents. Complete collapse and hasty exit of the Girl. M. J. 74 In the library I saw her, Dusty quartos round her spread.

There I are steps one does not mind ascending ; steps that it is a positive pleasure to descend, and steps — well, steps like those in Morningside Park or in front of the Library, or, indeed, in Barnard. In fact all the steps that lead away from College seem especially designed to give one the impression of sailing with extended wings just above the ground. Now that may sound as if it were a pleasant sensation, but it is not. There is always the expectation of catching just the tips of one ' s wings and tumbling ignomiuiously down the incline. HE Barnard student whom duty calls to walk among the dusty roads and the piles of stone 1 in the new Columbia grounds is confronted with the same troublesome point of etiquette that perplexed her on the narrow old campus at Forty-ninth Street. As she hurries past those hundreds of strolling, lounging students, shall she assume the embarrassing task of scanning every face, so that she may bow to her acquaintances ; or shall she gaze steadily and meditatively into space, recognize no one, and cut her second cousin or her intimate friend as she passes within three feet of him ? Blessed be the kind authority who shall first declare that on the college campus etiquette demands no bows of recognition ! V. C. G. A. S. Campus Etiquette 77 r i.

Do not waste the time of the editors on such trivial questions. W. A. H. — You may allude to your pupils, in the seclusion of your home, by their Christian names. R. C.

Never, under any provocation, permit yourself to use such expressions as Perdition take thee, and the like. 81 G. C. D. O. — {a) You should not call the attention of your class to the similarity between your diction and that of Matthew Arnold. They would probably notice it, anyhow, (o) No, a thing isn ' t short because it ' s short. H. T. P. — There is no impropriety in allowing a young lady to escort you to your car under the umbrella you have just lent her. J. H. H. — If the bells ring before you are through talking, the best plan will be not to hear them, and then, when you have finished, to look suddenly at your watch and discover that the time is up. C. K. — (a) The simple statement that you are not sarcastic ought to convince the general public of the real state of affairs. ( ) We are informed that there are three places which a Latin adjective, modifying two nouns, may occupy. It may stand before the nouns, it may stand between the nouns, or it may stand after the nouns. J. L,. A. — No, sorrow and rough do not rhyme on account of the spelling. 82 THE New Slandard Dictionary COMPOSED AND EDITED BY MESSRS. FLUNK AND WAGJAWS Prof. G. Barley Zimmerman says : There are complete arguments and daily themes in it; it only wants the Junior ' s pen to pick them out and put them together. PRINTED AT THE SIGN OF THE CLIPPED ELM TREE 1898 PREFACE Owing to the encyclopaedic character of this work it has been found necessary t o publish it in sections.

B.— Think not, though distant that thou art, Thou canst forgotten be ; While memory lives within our heart We will remember thee. 1 ' H. J. B. — ' ' Quod omnia sine remissione, sine varietate, vi summa vocis et totius corporis contentione dicebam. G. R. C. — A knowledge, both of books and humankind. J. B. C— Find you the virtue and I ' ll find the verse. F. N. C. — He was profoundly versed in mathematics, which was either the work of Satan or Roger Bacon. ' ' H. A. C. — And black despair followed ever in his footsteps. Iy. B. D. — The only woman in a host of men. J. C. E. — Think not that thy word and thine alone must be right. W.

Where do you live, my pretty maid? ' ' I live in Brooklyn, sir, she said. When will you get there, my pretty maid? Nobody knows, kind sir, she said. E. M. K. A certain young maiden in college Was possessed by a great thirst for knowledge. Her friends in despair Saw this maiden prepare To take forty hours in college. E. G. D. As I went up to Morningside A girl with several bags I spied ; L,unch and books and coat and hat, How did she manage to carry all that ? A. Iy. D. A dillar, a dollar, A ten o ' clock scholar, What makes you come so late ? I started from Jersey three hours ago, But the fog made the ferryboat wait. 92 E. R. S. A maiden of great Ninety-nine Once remarked to the world : I opine No instructor in college Possesses much knowledge ; I should think they would all just resign. G. M. D. A certain young personage, clever, Has a mind so peculiar, that never Can she wholly agree With what other folks see, Though they argue forever and ever. A. W. A maiden by no means ascetic, With devotion to gym quite pathetic, Would abandon her Greek Any day in the week To indulge in a pastime athletic. G. H. G Two things alone To mankind known This Barnard girl was pat in ; All Kipling ' s verse She could rehearse, Likewise a little Latin. Ill 03 The Classicist Upon our list Appeared one autumn morning. She loved her Greek, Could Latin speak, All other subj ects scorning. E. P- S. There ' s a girl up at Barnard, they say, Has a tongue and a temper so gay That she chatters and laughs And giggles and chaffs From June quite around until May. M. M. B. Mary, Mary, quite contrary, How does your knowledge grow ? ' ' ' ' With guess and bluff And work enough To make my answers flow. ' ' V. C G. There once was a girl with a brief ; Of prodigies she was the chief ; She wrote argumentation That won commendation And awakened our envious grief. 04 A. M. S. Hurry up, Baby, to the hill top, When the chain breaks, the wheel it will stop, When the wheel stops the baby will fall, And down comes bicycle, baby and all. M. B. S. There was a small person, unique, Who, although much devoted to Greek, Of the one proper way To train children, they say, Was always quite ready to speak. Of a fair college maiden I sing, Who, whether in autumn or spring, When asked, Will you walk? Replied, How you talk ! I wonder you ' d hint such a thing. C. E- A. C A dear girl at Barnard you ' ll see, Whose heart is as kind as can be ; She brings grave objections Against vivisections — Oh dear, it ' s so cruel, says she. 95 M. J. See-saw, Marjorie Daw, The Spectators waiting for news, Miss. Barnard Notes no one needs, Barnard Notes no one reads, So from fancy your facts you may choose, Miss. I. M. D. Ah there, Treasurer, have you any chink? Yes, kind mistress, what do you think? Some for the Mortarboard, some for the teas, Some for the Junior Ball, just as you please. A. C H. The Philosopher, sweetly serene, By her classmates was only once seen To get frantic and cram Just before an exam, And then ' twas for hist ' ry, I ween. A. D. When she first came to our college In her thirsty search for knowledge, She was dignified and stately as could be. But now history dissertations, Crisp rhetoric consultations, Tennysonian misquotations, And Barnard lunch-room rations Mar the calmness of her bearing, as you see. 96 H. M. O. There once came a girl to the Heights, Who resided in Jersey o ' nights. Two friends of her own Never leave her alone. This trio our college delights. C O. Scratchy, scratchy, pen and ink! How I wonder what they think ! Gibson, Abbey, Puck, and Truth Can ' t show pictures like our Ruth. M. R. Ding dong bell, The girl ' s at the tel— Ephone. Who was there ? That was her affair. What did they say ? Wires broke that day. Oh, for a private telephone For this girl ' s usage, all alone. 07 cexam When earth ' s last thesis is written and our brains are twisted and dried, When the toughest girls are demented and the weakest girls have all died, We shall cram, and faith ! we shall need it, after cutting an aeon or two, Till the last and the worst of the finals shall set us to work anew ; And they that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a stiff -backed chair And scratch off a dozen pink blank-books with proper and virtuous air. But the sinners who trusted to bluffing shall fall with a tragical fall As they stare for an age at the ceiling, and can ' t bluff on paper at all. And only commencement shall flunk us, and only commencement shall praise, And no one shall work for Honors, and no one shall work for A ' s, But just for the sake of the passing, and each in her separate shoes Shall shake till she hears of her record, and faint when she gets the news.

I chose the latter, and for years I have been out of the market; but now, through a revulsion of public sentiment against adulterated goods, I am enabled to offer a new powder, which I have been experimenting with and perfecting during the interim. I recommend this powder as absolutely pure — it contains neither alum, lime, nor other injurious substances, and is unexcelled by any in the market. « this Illustration is a reduced reproduction of a Beautiful Panel Picture « of which we have a series of over one hundred and fifty, 14x28 inches.
