APPY is the college with whose beginnings are associated things of a picturesque, impressive, emblematic, or elevating sort. At Yale there was the little group of clergymen laying down a few precious books and saying, I give these books for the founding of a college in this colony , in Massachusetts, the frail but scholarly young clergyman, john Harvard, dying too soon for much usefulness, and yet having a wonderful usefulness in beginning the endowment of the college that bears his name, at Dartmouth, Wheelock's Indian school, and, later, the scene where Daniel Webster defended the college-charter before the Supreme Court of the United States, at lVilliams, the heroic soldier of the Revolution, whose name the college bears, and, not long after, the group of students at the haystack, consecrating themselves as the beginners of the foreign missionary work of the American churches, at Oberlin, the wild beast, a symbol of barbarism, descending from a tree upon the selected site, and fieeing westward when the founders ap- peared. By such beginnings the work of the college is prophesied and shaped. At Beloit the student of the beginnings hnds much upon which he loves to dwell, and in which he sees the promise and the dehnition of the things to come. The Ordinance of 1787. There was, far back and first of all, the Ordinance of I787,i' dedicating the great Interior to freedom. In that law and compact, which has come to be awarded a foremost place among the great state- papers of the world, the most famous sentence, after the prohibition of slavery, was this: Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged. Of the tract covered by the original ordinance, Wisconsin was the farthest away and the last to be occupied by civilized men. Manasseh Cutler and the Ohio Company, in demanding the passage of the Ordinance of 1787 as the condition of their purchase of so many million acres in the 16 C ODEX. Northwest, performed the first great act in deciding what the future Beloit should be. The statesmanship and greatness of Dr. Cutler are coming into recognition at last. His statue should some day adorn the college-grounds. The Black-Hawk War. Turn the glass, and you bring up another scene. It is the summer of 1832. The Sacs and the Foxes, under Black Hawk, are at war with the United States. They are in full retreat from central Illinois up the valley of the Rock. Abraham Lincoln, a young Springfield lawyer, is captain of a militia company that shares in the pursuit. They pass through what is now Beloit, going to Fort Atkinson and beyond, and finally westward, till Black Hawk is taken and the war is closed. So the valley is cleared of Indians, and the white settler comes in. He has hardly arrived before he begins to think and talk of a college. u The Chesapeake. Turn the glass again, It is the summer of 1844. The steamer Chesapeake is plowing westward through Lake Erie. There has been at Cleveland a great gathering of Christian people from the region covered by the Ordinance of 1787 and its extensions, they came together to consider the general interests of the kingdom of Christ in the Mississippi valley, their session is over and many of them are journeying homeward together on this boat. Dr. Chapin's own account of it is this: You may see seven of us crowded together in that narrow room, STEPHEN PEET, to whom belongs the honor of being foremost and chief of the founders of Beloit College, is lying on the berth, ill in body, but his fertile mind as active as ever in planning for the spiritual interests of this region. By his side sits Theron Baldwin, then just entering on his life-work. Miter, Gaston, Hicks, Bulkley, and myself are standing by, listening to their talk. The VVestern College Society was fairly organized, and Baldwin, its secretary and soul, unfolds its purpose and plans. There is light and hope in what he says. A hand from the East will be stretched out to help on the establishment of genuine Christian colleges, judiciously located here and there in the West. Peet seizes on the gleam of encouragement, his uttered thoughts kindle enthusiasm and hope in the rest. There is an earnest consulta- tion--there is a fervent prayer--there is a settled purpose, and Beloit College is a living conception .... The steamer Chesapeake has long since gone to pieces, but of that conference mi her deck came TIJE H1S7'0A'V OF BELOIT COLLEGE. 17 the framing of this good ship, whose ribs and hull are wrought of eternal truths that know no decay. The Chesapeake might well have been cut on the college-seal. The Four Conventions. As we have said, there had been already much thinking and talking of a college. It was discussed in 1843, in Beloit, in the old stone church on Broad Street, in the General Convention of the Congre- gational and Presbyterian churches. But from that crowded conference on the steamer sprang a dennite purpose, and definite plans. A con- ference was called, to meet on the 6th of August, 1844. Enthusiasm had been sufficient so far, now they were face-to-face with work. Small as Beloit then was, with less than a thousand inhabitants, it was a large part of VVisconsin, for the Territory had in 1840 little more than thirty thousand people. Money was scarce, transportation was by horse, or ox, or on foot, over roads that were often desperately bad. It took devo- tion to come even a little distance to talk of a college. In that first conference there were four from Iowa, twenty-seven from Illinois, twenty-ive from Wisconsin, fifty-six in all. Aratus Kent, afterward known as the father of Rockford Seminary, was called to preside. They spent two days in earnest talk. They planned for a college for Iowa-afterward established, as Iowa College, at Davenport and later moved to Grinnell-and a college and a female seminary for this border-region connecting the state of the prairies and the state of the lakes. Only so much did they dare to do. They therefore published their results, and called another convention for October, to review their action and advance upon it if that should seem best. So cautious did they think it necessary to be. The October convention was composed of fifty members, all from Wisconsin and Illinois. Still another convention, of sixty-eight mem- bers, was held before they dared to take any irrevocable steps, that came in May, 1845, and decided on Beloit as the site, In October, 1845, a fourth convention adopted a form of charter and elected a board of Trustees. So BELOIT COLLEGE became a name and a splendid hope. The ora stone church. These four conventions and the first meeting of the trustees were held in the basement of the old stone church. That church is too closely connected with the beginnings of Beloit College to be left with 18 CODEX. only casual mention. It had the curious fortune of being mentioned in two editions of the American Cyclopedia. It stood on the northwest corner of Broad and Prospect Streets, where the house of C. C. Keeler now stands, it faced south, and had four tall brick pillars in front, the historic basement, of whose connection with the early history of Beloit College we have yet one IHOIC thing to tell, was entered by a door on the east. Had that church not existed and had it not been the best in theiregion outside of Milwaukee, the college might have gone elsewhere for a home. The first settlers had very little money, and it took a bushel of wheat to get a letter out of the post-office or a yard of calico from the store. t 5 gg' it Bi s ft s W lr.r fl ' t tt 1 wliilatt' iran FQ -LQLE in it ' L Q i M ., gg ., l gilt .E 243.4 1.-. 211,-xfwS?::::2L::E'2:i,T . gripe-ff - - - e X. ,ps .

They got stone and lime from their quarries 5 they sawed the native trees into lumber 3 brick was made in' the neighborhood. Only the shingles must be got from abroad, and for those one of them went without money to Kenosha, driving an ox-wagon, sleeping under it, and asking in Kenosha for a Christian lumberman who would let them have the shingles on credit and wait till spring for his pay. The' trip took a week, but the shingles were got, the .church was used through the winter, and the promise to pay was kept. In that basement the Beloit Seminary found a homeg as we seek to estimate the iniluences that brought the College to Beloit, we must give THE HISTOA' Y OF BEL 017' COLLE GE. 19 a leading place to the impression made by an edihce then thought so hne, by the seminary then iiourishing under the shelter of those im- mortal shingles, and, back of both, by the temper of a community that, while still poorly housed, gave such proof of devotion to the church and the school. A picture of that church has been successfully drawn from memory, it should be hung in Memorial Hall. The Start. The first meeting of the Trustees was held October zgd, 1845, eight of the fifteen being present. That they felt their responsibility is shown by the silence with which they looked at each other, until one said: Well, brethren, what are we to do? and Father Kent answered: Let us pray. Of those eight and fifteen 'A. L. Chapin and Wait Talcott have served continuously ever since, the rest are gone on to service in another world. H The year 1846 passed in consultation and preparation, including the effort to find outside friends. It had been felt all along that Beloit was the place, Beloit had offered ten acres, being the central half of the present site, and a building to cost not less than three thousand dollars. As Father Kent said, Beloit was eighty miles from everywhere, that is, from the lake-shore, with the chain of cities expected to grow up there, from the lead-region, then supposed to be of inexhaustible wealth and likely to build up another group of cities, and from the Mississippi, then a great avenue of commerce, the development and superiority of the railroad not being then foreseen. A charter was granted by the territorial legislature, it was approved by the Governor February zd, 1846. The College Society took up the new institution and gave it a powerful moral support as well as sums of money amounting to eight thousand dollars in the first ten years. Some little formality attended the laying of the nrst stone by the citizens at the northwest corner of Middle College in the autumn of 1846. Something Visible. T . The corner-stone of Middle College was laid june 24th, 1847, Let us try to imagine the scene. There was a village, then of about seventeen hundred people, very few of them living on the West Side or on the college bluff' No rail- road had yet arrived. The campus of ten acres stretched from College 20 C ODE X. Street to the river. Prospect Street stretched across the campus and through to Clary, then Fourth, Street. Chapin, then Second, Street stretched to where Middle College now stands, there crossing Prospect Street, and turning to wind down the ravine and connect with what was then the head of Pleasant Street. All these streets were hardly more than map-names, for people drove almost at will wherever the undergrowth had been broken down. L. G. Fisher, A. L. Field, and james Lusk, having owned the bluff- line for some distance north and south of where the Gymnasium now stands, and having expected to build homes in that choice location, had given up their claims. Horace Hobart had owned the site of the present chapel, Hazen Cheney had owned four lots opposite Prof. Blaisdell's present home. There had been some eight owners in all. All the streets had been vacated, so far as they lay upon the proposed site, all the land had been given or sold to the Trustees to secure the location of the college in Beloit. The principal deed to this land is dated September rzth, 1846, two lots were conveyed November zrst, 1849. The north and south ends of the present campus, and the Keep place, are much later additions, having been bought in large or small pieces from time to timefi There was then no newspaper in the village, nor even a press. The Rock River House, now a combination of tenement, store-house, and shop, was then a pleasant hotel, where the Goodwin House now stands. The present generation of voters were then young men or boys, many of them and of the girls were pupils in the Beloit Seminary, meeting, as we have said, in the basement of the old stone church. Seven thousand dollars had been subscribed for the erection of the promised building, and the foundations had been laid. The day for laying the corner-stone was auspicious in every respect. The whole neighborhood flocked in to see, as afterward it made a practice of doing as long as Commencement was held outdoors. A pro- cession was formecl and marched to the southeast corner of the foundations, where now, on the corner-stone, the date may be read. Two thousand people are said to have been present, indeedg it is a common experience for the friends of the college to hear in distant places the boast: I saw the corner-stone laid. john M. Keep, presided. There was prayer and song. Rev. A. L. th See an article, entitledw 'L How the Campus was Got, in the Ifamrrl 7216151 for November 5th, 1880. Q In this the name Farrar should now be changed to Vale, and Second Street to Chapin Street. 'llie Keep place has since been bought: the date ofthe deed is March 22d, 1883. THE IJISTOA' lf OF BEL OIT COLLEGE. 21 Chapin, then only a trustee, read a sketch of the slender history thus far made out, Rev. Stephen Peet gave an account of the still more slender resources. Prof Stowe was to have made an elaborate address, but was prevented by illness, his place was taken by several others, who spoke, with a fire that is still remembered, as to the need of a college and the good that it could do. A lead box, nlled with articles of current interest and sealed, was put in place, and then, upon it, Father Kent, the President of the Board, set the corner-stone. The honest old building stands there yet, somewhat modernized and beautified, but substantially the same, having never yet shown so much as a crack in its walls. May the omen prove abundantly true. The First Teachers and Learners. October 15th of that year, tive young gentlemen , as an old history politely calls them, became the first Freshman class, S. T. Merrill, the principal of the Beloit Seminary, had charge of them through most of that year. They were taught at first in the same old basement, after- ward in the house on Pleasant Street, now owned by Miss King, and nnally, with the boys and girls of the Seminary, in Middle College. The names of four of that first class may be found at the head of the roll of the Alumni, the fifth was Strong lVadsworth: it was counted a sign of the future that Mr. Wadsworth, after taking half of his course at Beloit, was admitted at Yale to the class corresponding to the one that he had left. - April 27, 1848, J. J. Bushnell arrived, descending from Frink and Walker's stage at the door of the Rock River House, and hastening to find Rev. Dexter Clary, the Secretary of the Trustees. joseph Emer- son arrived on the 24th of May. These two young men, college-class- mates and somewhat experienced as college-tutors elsewhere, had been called and were now elected to divide the work of instruction, Mr. Bush- nell taking mathematics and Mr. Emerson the ancient languages. As a matter of fact, they divided the work on another line, Mr. Bushnell taking the business, and Mr. Emerson the teaching. Struggle. Nor was Mr. Bushnell's the less important task. The walls of Middle College had gone up as high as four thousand dollars would pay for and then had stopped, lloorless, rooiiess, windowless, bleak. The subscrip- tion had been reduced, as subscriptions generally are, and things looked dark. It was the low tide that always tends to follow the flood of Q2 C ODZLY. enthusiasm with which a great work of devotion is begun. Only the teaching went on. ' The student of our beginnings must read for himself the history of the Hnancial campaign that ensued: Prof. Bushnell wrote it out for the twenty-hfth anniversary 5 it was printed in the quarter-century pamphlet, and it cannot well be abridged. No more help could be got from abroad till Middle College was finished by the people of Beloit. That promise must be redeemed. An active canvas to talk college was begun. The prejudice against an abolition-college began to soften, faith, at that time drooping or almost dead, began to revive. At length it was deemed best to call a public meeting, though few thought that it could succeed. The meeting rose to the best hopes of its promoters, and the needed amount was raised. Says Prof. Bushnell: It has always seemed to me that, if there has ever been a crisis in the history of this College, it was at the time when Beloit raised her second subscription of four thousand dollars, and the success with which that effort was carried through, inspired courage and hope through all the time thereafter. Thus the citizens of Beloit gave at the start a site valued at three thousand dol- lars and twelve thousand dollars in money or labor. From time to time since, they have aided nobly in efforts to erect other buildings or to broaden the work. Middle College was occupied in the autumn of 1848, and for six years was the only college-building, all public exercises, except Commencement, being held in what is now the geological room. Growth. In the fall of 1848, a preparatory school was opened, but in the expectation that high-schools and academies would soon be multiplied and built up throughout the region, it was then little thought that the preparatory school would last till now, be enlarged into an academy, and be to-day the principal feeder of the college-course. Yet, so the people of this region have willed. The time from 1848 to 1850 was the great harvest of funds, most notipeable being the gift, by Mrs. Hale, of land that was sold for thirty- nve thousand dollars. Rev. A. L. Chapin, then the pastor of a Presbyterian church in Mil- waukee, was elected President November zo, 1849, began work February 1, 1850, and was inaugurated in the grove july 24th of that year. He is the one living man who has seen and helped the whole life of the College from its inception on the Chesapeake to the present day. THE IJISTOA' Y OF BEL OIT COLLEGE. 23 For'the first three years there were, of course, no graduates, in 1851 the juniors made a substitute for Commencement by holding rhetorical exercises in the grove. Those out-door gatherings must have had a peculiar charm. The place was the natural amphitheater just opposite Prof. Porter's. Near the boundary-line and facing west, two stages were erected, one like that now used in the church, the other for the band. A canopy, tied from tree to tree, kept off the sun, but, unhappily, not the dust. The whole country came in and picnicked under the trees. It was really but not wholly a gain when the exercises were moved, in 1862, to the newly completed First Congregational church. The country lost interest and came in no more. The exercises in the grove were never rained upon, the first Commencement in the church was wet, and there have been many wet ones since. The history of the College buildings is concisely this: Middle College, - - 184.7-8, ' 810,000 00 .

Oflicers. . 1 Of the older professors we may make this record: J. I. Bushnell, 1848-733 S. P. Lathrop, I849-543 M. P. Squier, 1850-66, F. W. Fisk, 1854-593 I. P. Fisk, 1856-71, H. B. Nason, 1858-665 H. L. Kelsey, 1860-635 E. P. Harris, 1866-685 I. H. Eaton, I868-773 I. W. Petti- bone, I87I-8I3PCf6I Hendrickson, 1870-843 T. C. Chamberlin, 1872-86. It would require a volume to trace the work of these men and estimate its worth.

I. Blaisdell began work in 18595 ex-President Chapin is at his home in Beloit, able, though an invalid, to aid with his counsel the College to which he has devoted his life, he resigned the presidency in 1886, but taught and labored, all too abundantly, for two years more. Rev. E. D. Eaton, having served live years as trustee, became President in 1886: it was a peculiar gratification to the Alumni that one of their own number should 24 CODEX. be. thought worthy to succeed the founder. The younger professors, not here mentioned, can bide their time for the commemoration of their work. - Rev. Dexter Clary served as Secretary of the Trustees till his death in 1874, and was then succeeded by Rev. H. P. Higley. In humbler but not less truly important spheres and in not less faith- fulness and friendship to a great multitude of students have been the labors of Miss Ana T. Dewey, the matron of the college-club for all but about two of the twenty-five years between 1857 and 1882, and of john B. Pfeffer, the man-of-all-work for the last twenty-three years and over: their names open the springs of gratitude in many an old student's heart. The War. The part taken by the college in the war of the rebellion has been often stated, but must not be omitted here. More than 4oo, out of perhaps 750 who could bear arms, were in the Union army, and forty-six died in the service, the names of the latter are on a marble tablet in Memorial Hall. One Commencement was omitted because both the professor of rhetoric and the Senior class were in camp at Memphis, the daily prayer-meeting began with their return. The Catalogues. The hrst catalogue is dated H1849-5o, and is of great interest to those who care for the way in which good things have co'me to be. The names of the trustees are largely strange tolthose not familiar with the past. The Faculty of the College consists of five, the instructors in the Seminary are given, they are three of the live, and Miss Adaline Merrill and Miss Cornelia Bradley, A' Instructors in Ladies' Department. There are no Seniors, four Juniors, no Sophomores, four Freshmen, nine sub-Freshmen. The future prominence of Beloit in editorship is suggested by the fact that this roll of seventeen contains the names of S. D. Peet, J. M. Bundy, Horace White, and Harlan Page. The rest of the preparatory school number forty-one. The. Beloit Seminary is credited with eighty-hve gentlemen and hfty-nine ladies The requirements for admission and the course of study, though not so high as now, are high and worthy of great respect. The library is said to contain over a thousand volumes. The pages in this catalogue are sixteen. ' In the catalogue of 1850-51 the girls have disappeared, to return no more. There is a normal and English department of sixty-four YYJE HIS T016 Y OF BEL OIT COLLEGII. 25 students. The total is one hundred and twenty-live. The pages are fifteen, in the catalogue of 1888-89 the pages are hfty-two. In the catalogue of 1853-54 the students are one hundred and seven, the smallest number recorded. The three highest records are two hundred and fifty-three in 1867-68, two hundred and sixty-five in 1887-88, and three hundred and six in 1888-89. The Alumni are now three hundred and eighty-two. The students taught in the forty-two years are over three thousand. General Retrospect. As the history of any human institution works down from its beginnings and draws nearer to the time of the observer, it seems to have less of both the heroic and the picturesque. Yet both those elements may be there, and the one be often the other. This generation can hardly appreciate the sacrifices that the measure of success thus far attained by Beloit College has cost. But sacrifices are still being made for Beloit, and there is need for a plenty yet. Scattered all along the history are things, little and great, on which the eye delights to rest. Who remembers that Young Ladies' Literary Society, organized in 1838, and helping to found the college-library with a few historical works, and again to buy the college-bell and provide cases for the first collections for the cabinet? Who knows of that benevolent sewing- society that, in September, 1849, decoyed Prof. Bushnell away from his bachelor-den in Middle College, that they might lay a carpet, hang curtains, and upholster a lounge, and that afterward put an occasional study-gown, coat, or shirt upon each of the two professors who were too busy to marry? It was in preparation for a second raid of this kind upon Prof. Bushnell that two of the good ladies drove to Milwaukee in an open conveyance in cold weather. Who does not see something picturesque in the story of the Coronation of Alma Mater by the class of 1862? Who started the ingenious device by which JUNIOR X blazes through the windows of the church in December of each year? Tradition gives the credit of it to the class of 1870. Whose faith and foresight gave the name College Street to the eastern boundary of the campus before ever the Chesapeake made that historic trip? There is uplift in the very thought of that act, as though it were a part of a great revelation that the College must come to this place. It was no common sight, that torch-bearing escort, when President Eaton was inducted into office. 26 cormx. Such things are impressive and elevating, they rouse us to realize the mission and the Worth of the college. And again we say, happy is that college which has associations of an ennobling sort connected with its very site. About us is an unusual wealth of the handiwork of God in the kingdom of the Howers. Here are three great geological formations, full of extinct creatures of the primal world, to incite us to reverent study. Far north and south extends our beautiful valley, teeming with fertility, the certain future abode of millions that will need and use and support the College. Far northward stretches that noble view which has thrilled many a heart with delight. About us are the three great types of prairie, spreading or rolling till they break into the billowy hills. Here is an antiquity dating far back of history, far back of the colonial times in which were the beginnings of the colleges of the Atlantic coast, for here, dotted, upon our very campus, are the memorials of a mighty but mysterious race: as among the trees and the mounds is poured, as seemingly nowhere else, the liquid gold of the sunset or the silver sheen of the moonlight, the spirits of their chiefs seem to come forth from these, their places of interment, and to bid us use well the inheritance that is ours.

His ancestors, on the side of both father and mother, were citizens of Connecticut, and were- persons of robust intelligence and character. He received his academic education in the Hartford Grammar School and at Yale College, graduating at the latter institution in 1837. Among the members of his class were several gentlemen of national reputation, Rev. A. L. Stone, D. D., Hon. Jeremiah Evarts, Chief justice Morrison R. Waite and Prof. Benjamin Silliman are of the number. During the year subsequent to his leaving college he was engaged in teaching in a family school in Baltimore, Md., and from 1838 to 1843 was a professor in the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. He studied Theology while there engaged, and received his diploma at Union Theological Seminary of New York, in 1842. . The Western States were at this time opening new fields for enter- prise, not only in the pursuits of ordinary industry, but to the Christian Ministry and academical instruction. Mr. Chapin, under the appointment of the American Home Missionary Society, removed in 1844 to Mil- waukee, Wis., where he became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Here he remained six years. His pastorate in Milwaukee is spoken of as one of great thoroughness and efficiency, and his friendship in 'that city is affectionately cherished by not a few who were cognizant of his early ministry. In February of 1850, Dr. Chapin was called from Milwaukee to Beloit College, as its first President, and was inaugurated into the duties of that ofhce july 24th, of the same year. Rev. Iackson I. Bushnell and Rev. joseph Emerson, D. D., had just become professors of the new institution and to Dr. Chapin, in conjunction ,with these two nrst Professors, are, in large measure, due the wise principles and methods by which its administration has been rendered so eminently successful in the training of men. ' Dr. Chapin was married to Miss Martha Colton of Lenox, Mass., August 23, 1843. After her death, he married as his second wife Miss Fanny L. Coit, of New London, Conn., August 26, 1861. He is father 28 CODEJI. of six children, one of them, Elizabeth C. Chapin, now wife of Rev. Henry D. Porter, M. D., is at present a missionary of the American Board in Pang-Chuang, China. The other remaining children are con- tributing to their father's later years the graces of a happy and honorable home. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on Mr. Chapin by Williams College, in 1853, and that of Doctor of Laws by the Univer- sity of New York, in 1882. In 1865, during a brief period of physical exhaustion, he passed several months in Europe. Again, in 1883, he visited the old world as member of a committee sent by the American Board to the Turkish mission for the purpose of adjusting certain differ- ences between the Armenian churches and the missionaries of the Board. He has served the Board of Missions as one of its corporate members for many years. In 1884 he was appointed to preach the annual sermon. For many years also he has been a director of the American Home Missionary Society, one of the vice-Presidents of the American Mis- sionary Association, President of the Board of Trustees of the State Institution for Deaf Mutes, and one of the directors of the Chicago Theological Seminary. I-Ie was one of the Board of Examiners at the U. S. Naval School at Annapolis in I872, and occupied the same position at VVest Point in 1873. ' In the midst of a busy life Dr. Chapin has found little leisure for the protracted labor of literary authorship. He has given to tlie press a few occasional sermons, addresses and reviews. In 1878 an edition of Way land's Political Economy was issued under his supervision, in which the original work was recast and partly rewritten by him. This revision has been adopted as a text-book in several schools and colleges, and is spoken of with honor. Dr. Chapin resigned the presidency of the college at the Annual Commencement in 1886, his long labors causing him to feel the pressure of advancing years. He retains, however, for instruction, the depart- ment of Civil Polity, which, with that of history, from the beginning has been attached to the office of the President. For the past few months our venerable teacher has been obliged to intermit the duties of the recita- tion room, by reason of physical infirmity. VVe trust that rest in the quiet of his home will bring back for not a few remaining years some- thing of earlier vigor. We may confidently expect it, if the unswerving love in which he is cherished can avail. A mind of remarkable poise and a heart growing through all these years in consecration to the R515 A. L.

It is our hope that the results of his life in the life of the college and of its sons, and in the direct contribu- tions he has made to the life of the commonwealth and the American church, may be to him a crown of joy, as it is manifestly a crown of honor, in allithe days that remain to him. i s l YES Fifi' in Af 21115 -4' Q Q Q -fn QV : f Rx Qi Wx mix, H56 rx .N-',', .Ii f- ......, ,, ,., , ff F15 0 .U EAA?

A. fBy express desire of Prof. Fisk, this biographic sketch is conhned to a bare state- ment of the facts of l1is'live.-Ea'iz'of'-1'1z-CW1'cf.j Prof. John Proctor Fisk, was born at Wilmot, N. H., May 31st, 1818. In 1820 he moved to Hopkinton, N. H. There and at Lowell, Mass., he lived until 1835, when he entered the Teachers' Department of Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. He taught at Centre Abington, and East Bridgewater, Mass., and at Cedarville, N. J. In 1843 he entered the Classical Department of Phillips Academy. From I845-I847 he was a teacher in St. johnsbury Academy, Vermont. From 1847-1856 he was principal of the Handcock School in Lowell, Mass., and from 1856-1871 he was principal ofthe Preparatory Department of Beloit College, Beloit, Wis. In 1857, Mr. Fisk received the degree of Master ofAr1s, from Beloit College. p He now lives in Beloit, Wis., where he has given the best part of his ,life to the College and its interests. He has l1ad the satisfaction of seeing his four sons graduate from this school. In 1850 he married Abbie Richardson Clark, of Tewksbury, Mass. She died at Beloit in 1875. Mr. Fisk was an excellent teacher, as the many students at the College during these years will testify. Stern as to methods of discipline, kind even in severity, he won the hearts of his pupils. He considered the pupils as his sacred trust, and zealously and kindly watched over their daily welfare in and out of the school room. He was a strong temperance man in precept and practice, and many a wayward boy has he saved from a drunkard's grave. He was pre- eminently a Christian man, for many years Was a Deacon in the First Congregational Church of Beloit. Since he severed his connection as teacher in the College, in many ways, by word and deed, he has aided the College. He rejoiced to help men on the road to intellectual, moral and spiritual integrity and eficiency. Intelligent, Christian Charactern was the principle he strove to inculcate. How far he stamped the 32 C ODEX. N impress of thisprinoiple upon the hearts of pupils will never be known in this world. Each year does bring testimony of many he has thus influenced. He loved the College and still loves it. No greater tribute can be given to this faithful, self-sacrificing Christian teacher than that his many pupils in this and other countries should forever remain true to the principles of culture, loyalty and righteousness which he taught. Inauguration of President Eaton, The night of Nov. 5th, 1886, was marked by the awakening of a new interest in Beloit College. The first president of the College, after a. service of thirty-six years as the head of this institution of learning, feeling the weight of years and the effects of constant activity, shifted the responsibilities which he had so long borne, from old shoulders upon a man who might be able to carry on the work so well begun, with the vigor of younger years and the enthusiasm sure to come from a son of the College. President Chapin was inaugurated as the first president of Beloit College in july, 1850. Since that time he has been actively con- nected With western educational institutions, and Nov. 5th, over thirty- six years later, formally retired from a service in which he had spent the best portion of his life. His charge to the new president detailed the past history of the College, its perplexities, and the circumstances under which it was started, described its present condition and the difficulties to be surmountedg and gave encouragements for the future, showing the possibilities-before it, the number of friends among trustees, alumni, and those interested in the progress of education, and the blessings which must rest upon an institution that had always fostered those things tend- ing to make the world better and promote the progress of mankind. President Eaton's inaugural address outlined his policy and expressed his desire to press zealously forward in the work to which he had been called. The First Congregational Church, the largest auditorium in the city, was filled to its utmost capacity, and the large audience listened attent- ively to the somewhat prolonged exercises. We need not say that this audience included many from outside the city who had come to reap en- joyment, receive instruction, and identify themselves with Beloit College as promoters of good. During the evening there were addresses of welcome and congratulation. In behalf of the trustees, by Dr. Savage of Chicago, the faculty, by Prof joseph Emerson of Beloit, the Alumni, by R. F. Pettibone, Class of ,77, of Chicago, the students, by F. F. Norcross, Class of '86, of Janesville, Wis. President J. L. Packard of Iowa, brought words of cheer from sister institutions, Rev. C. H. 34 , CODEX. Richards of Madison, from the churches of Wisconsin, Prof. F. P. Fiske, Class of '78, from the Chicago Theological Seminary, Dr. Noble of Chicago, from the churches of Illinois. The editors of the Rozuzzi Table, the college magazine, realizing the importance of the occasion, determined not to be outdone, and with their accustomed activity issued an attractive inaugural number. The members of the class of '90, the present junior class, feel that the installation of the new President of the college was of more than ordinary importance to them. lVith him our college course began, and, although President Eaton has already signed the diplomas of two classes, ours will be the first class to complete a course of study under him. Is it, then, not fitting that we should especially hope for him the greatest success in his new position, and that we should close our account of his inauguration with our heartiest wishes for the future welfare of Beloit College? Pfof- EmQrSO17'S FOrfiQ'1b Plvlviwrsafy- On the night of Saturday, May 12th, 1888, members of the Facult undergraduates and friends assembled, informally, at the pleasant home of our grand, old man, Professor joseph Emerson, to celebrate the Fortieth Anniversary of his coming to ind that small College out on the prairiesf' ' Y: After greetings, our venerable Ex-President was called upon to speak. Without attempting to make a regular speech, he rehearsed the facts of the foundation of the College and the coming of Professor Emer- son. In closing his remarks, Dr. Chapin testified, in touching manner, to his cordial association through all those years with Prof. Emerson, and voiced the fervent desire of all that he might be spared for many years of efficient labor and blessed influence. I President Eaton then presented Prof. Emerson, in behalf of the Alumni and friends, with a beautiful gold watch and chain, the latter of just forty links. 7The Professor replied in his own inimitable manner. His speech, he said, was prepared forty years ago. It was a letter written at that time to his father. It gave a graphic description of his impressions of the infant institution. A feature of the happy occasion was the number of interesting letters from Yale classmates, Beloit Alumni, and family friends. It was an evening which will never be forgotten by those present. fp, Lisa 6i?1g f NFS? NSA , in fx D 3,'.,f! 37' A Q ao, L..

It was the second of September, anno Domini MDCCCLXXXV Caccording to the memory of the oldest inhabitantsj that seventeen gentlemen, all bachelors, rang the electric bell at the residence of Widow Mater and desired introduction to the lady of the house. The Porter, on examination, having satisfied himself that we had considerable talent Qin the roughj and that we were regular wheel-horsesl for work, kindly sent up our cards? to Alma, who deigned to smile on us a rather autum- nal3 welcome. Of our number one hailed from Norway, twelve were Badgers, while the remaining four were-we hesitate to tell the bald fact-Suckers.4 Generally speaking, our political complexion was- sallow, the rascals having just been turned out. Two Democrats and a sprinkling of Prohibitionists, however, enjoyed the intoxication of triumph. During the first year of residence with our hostess we conducted ourselves with that modest manliness which would be a wreath to the x. e. g. Robinson's Halloween 'bus. 2.

We carried canes at our pleasure, as we always have, significant of our independence. The crisis of choosing class colors and a class motto was passed in safety. Ad altiora 5 has always graced our class seal, while for colors we adopted Nile green and rose pink, a combination then of recent development!! Often has the green and pink waved over us in success, never in defeat. Fourteen of us returned after the next summer vacation, and at once we made our class-spirit a matter of comment in the whole region. Over a basket of peaches we resolved to purchase plug hats, and, with pledges oflidelity to each other, we warned any who might trespass on our rights.. But the warning was insufficient, in the gloom of the evening sixhats were stealthily purloined. Then followed a night which beggars description. The ghost-pale moon cast, as it were, abloody red over itself, the wind sobbed through broken panes of glass, and even the tall sycamore bent his head to the howlings of the blast, yea, the sweat seemed to stand like beads upon the brow of the ages. Tersely expressed, we were after the hats all night, a professor was after us next morning. As neither was successful we could sympathize with each other. However, with the true spirit of '89, never giving up the search, we were rewarded a few evenings later by finding our hats among the rafters of the Baptist church. That night our class-yell shook the windows of the juniors. The other event of the Sophomore year was our Greek play. Our appearance at this time drew crowds from the surrounding region to a distance of sixteen miles. Nothing more is needed to testify to its popularity. After the exercises, together with the Rockford Sophomores we shared the hospitality of Professor and Mrs. Emerson. junior Ex. was the event of our next year, Nine men graced the program, seven the platform. No mocks were issued, an abor- tive attempt to arrange the blinds so as to read Rats was nipped in the bud of its innocent youth. All in mall, we feel comparatively safe in asserting that the exhibition was the poorest known for years. At the close of the exercises we enjoyed one of the jolliest and pleasantest reunions of our college course at the home of Professor and Whitney. .

Of the seven membersof the base-ball board three have been from '89. If the other classes had included any base-ball players we could easily have won the inter-collegiate championship. With the lower classes we have in all matters maintained a fitting dignity and authority. lVe have always exacted from them immediate but loving obedience, and we think that we have reason to be proud of the results. With the preceding class we were also on the best terms. That class left a rock7 on the campus as a memento of themselves. We have already selected a mammoth boulder, which, when scooped out on the under side, fitted over the rock of '88, and adorned with our class-motto, will be typical of our relation to that class. But we are going. The crystal snow will melt from off the cinder walks. The ball-nine will come home from Madison. Once more and for the last time we shall see the dusky mower stride forth on the campus. The capering sheep will yield to us his skins.

One by one they dropped off, until to-day we are seven -plus one. Ninety is a remarkable class in many respects. For one thing, she is divided up into eight distinct factions, but, as no one of these factions can be very strong, we all pull together very pleasantly. When the matter of choosing class colors came up, this factional spirit manifested itself, as each of the eight cliques wanted something a little different from the other seven, so we all compromised on Orange and Black, which none of ns wanted. Yet, in the face of these occa- sional strainings, we live like brethren. Ninety is the only class now in College which appeared in distinctive Freshman hats. They were imported Scotch Tams andlastonished the natives. We also bought Fresh. can es--but why tear open again that wound? During our Freshman year we hid a number of the Senior Preps' Cgrj class hats. After we had kept them as long as we wanted to, they were placed in a box, buried on the campus, and an appropriate tomb- stone placed above. It was also during our Freshman year that a number of us began to shoot like meteors across the Hrmament of Beloit society. Some of us have done very little shooting since. 42 CODEX. During our Sophomore year we impressed our fellow students with the fact that we were possessed of histrionic ability to a remarkable degree. Our Greek Tragedy-but' for the presence of the Rockford Fem. Sem. girls it would have been changed into a Fresh. tragedy-was the most interesting production of its kind that ever was witnessed in Beloit. The scenic effects and stage accessories were of an entirely new and startling nature. During the spring term, while we were burning holes in our clothes and breaking test-tubes in the'Laboratory, we began to yearn after an Annual Those yearnings were placed on paper and sent to the Facultyg but they couldn't hear us. We were in despair. One of our number declared that we would have an f'annual if he had to get it out himself. Two of us sat up nights and framed another petition. It availed. An unsuccessful attempt was made to break up our junior Exhibi- tion last term. The interested parties were considerably out of pocket, owing to the cost of preparations, and had to undergo a good deal of chagrin besides, for it was acknowledged by all that ,QOIS Junior HEX. was exceptional for the .5'7lL00fA7Z6J.S' wifh whirh the efziirc ?7'0g7'lZ77Z77Z6 was carrier! ozzf. The class is not particularly brzllirzzzi, the attainment of high marks by means fair or foul not being our aim, nor can it be said that We are an athletic class, though we always manage to win fdurth place, all right, in the inter-class games-with a nine composed of eight men, but we do lay claim to an extra share of push, common sense, and practical ability. A glance at the present editorial board of the ROUND TABLE will convince any one of that. Out of six positions of importance the class holds five! No one, outside the class, can or will ever know the immense amount of labor spent in planning, starting, and publishing this book. There are a few narrow-minded students in College who probably cannot yet see just why we should have gone to all the trouble. They wouldn't do it, they say. No, we guess not. They can't grasp the idea that this is not a money-making scheme, but an honest, manly endeavor to help the College and, to be frank, in a very small degree to make her less one- horsed in the eyes of other institutions. It is only human in us to boast a little over what we have achieved in the face of all sorts of difficulties. We cannot be censured, then, in exulting in the fact that we have published the first bomzfidf Beloit YUNIOIC CLA.S'.S'. 43 College annual. On the strength of that, more than anything else, we base our claims to immortality, and for which we expect the figures 'gO to go whirling down the corridors of time. Junior Qlagg.

Kind friends, as We attempt to relate to you something of the history of ,9I, we are well aware that we must subject ourselves to the charge of egotism-not because there is any such quality in our general make- up, but our various exploits and achievements have, in their way, been so unique and marvelous that a plain, unvarnished statement of them must of necessity seem to tend in that direction. We have often noticed how much, as a class, we resemble Demos- thenes, and now it is more than ever apparent. We have much of his blushing modesty, and dislike to speak of ourselves, because men by nature prefer to hear charges rather than praises. We, too, lament that the pleasant privilege is given to another,1 while the hard duty is left for us . But, with our characteristic spirit, we accept it heroically, for we feel that succeeding classes and generations should not be deprived of the valuable precepts which the events of our course have inculcated. Having then sacrificed our personal feelings to the good of humanity, I. See ,QOYS history and editorials. 46 C ODE X. we will proceed to recount an hundred Qonlyj of the most notable events in our short but glorious career. We are told that the thin ranks of veteran armies eloquently speak of their intrepid bravery. Judge? ye, when we relate that our Junior Academy brigade numbered twenty-six, and now only two stalwart veterans remain! But do not misunderstand us. The victorious army has no trouble in gaining reinforcements, and so our class has ever kept full ranks. Yet, boon as this is, here again for us and for you is there misfortune. Small and insignificant classes can enter into personalities, but our numbers forbid. But be resigned, we will write our biographies on the hearts of men! Here we are only to tell you of some class deeds, and, though the subject beggars all description, we will begin. First, we did-but even to tell you of this our allotted space is too small. We reflect, our most famed exploits have already published themselves to a waiting world-we will forbear to mention the ninety-one most important ones, and will concentrate the power of language on the remaining nine of our prescribed task. Ninety-secondly, then, you will please take note that from our ifyfafrcy we have been a remarkable class. Look at our unparalleled Prep record, ,QI was the Hrst class ever deemed worthy of a public Academy-graduation. Here it is, you see, ,QI setsjthe model for succeeding cycles! Ninety-thirdly, even in that age of comparative youthfulness we began our great work of civilizing the world. That all sections of the country might be growing together, we divided our forces and sent one to Amherst, one to Yale, one to Madison and one to Ann Arbor, while sundry portions of the globe have taken a new leap in business energy in consequence of the appearance of some of our men in the marts of trade. Ninety-fourthly, The light of the millennium begins to dawn in the Western sky,', ,QI entered College. Again the record of the glorious past was broken, and the size of the Freshman Class was prominently discussed in surrounding towns.3 Ninety-Hfthly, we never forget a friendship, or- well, we are told we have a reputation which forbids any over-boldness on the part of contemporary classes.

' Ninety-sixthly, We will speak of the inadequacy of words to express the abilities of '91, NVe will merely mention that last year, While we were Freshmen, there were four prizes open to the whole College. Is it a small thing that the youngest of the four classes won two of those prizes? We will not stop to magnify the almost unprecedented fact that ,QI furnished a Freshman Round Table Editor. As we filed into our new seats in chapel in the fall, we realized for the first time the magnitude of the work that lay before us. Never before had there been such a horde of Freshmen. Did mortals ever have a harder duty? And yet there was much good material, and we were equal to the occasion. Already we have made very marked im- pressions. They are certainly doing better in the class-room, on the ball-field, and on the chapel platform. VVe are sure the Faculty will agree with us in saying that We can make an excellent class out of '92. Ninety-seventhly, ninety-eightly and ninety-ninthly we must devote to the brawny side of our many-sidedness. We are forbidden space to speak of our many victories and-games on the campus, but, to show you that here, as elsewhere, fate has placed us at the head, we will mention: The rest of the College world hereby challenges ,QI to a game of base- ball, etc. Some one said we wouldn't accept. Somebody laughed. 'gI against the world. And the score? Why, ,QI was victorious! Don't ask us to play any little class-games !

There's not one wise man in twenty that will praise himself. Although we are fully aware that in all the history of Beloit College, never has a class entered her halls of learning composed of men of such rare genius, brilliant intellect, sound judgment, studious applica- tion, strength of character, and eminent ability, as the present Fresh- man class, yet for us to 'make such claims for ourselves would not be wise, so we will forego this bit of self-gratification, hoping that our fellow students and the Faculty will not be long in discovering our peculiar merits, and will p-ay us the honors due to those of superior worth. And yet how shall I speak in ordinary terms of a class of men of such extraordinary parts? Were I to speak of our record in class-room or at rhetoricais, how could I use anything but superlatives? Turn to the sports, and what single foe or allied force of College and Prepdom has been able to defeat our nine? What class can show another Nelson at foot-ball, or a Brett at tennis? Shall we look at individual character? There is not one bad man in the lot! It is true that a report has been started about our Mr. Hinckley, affirming that he carries a bottle. Now, at iirst we were inclined to believe it, for we had noticed at times a cer- tain peculiar overliow of spirits hardly creditable to a man of sober habitsg but a committee appointed to investigate are ready to declare 50 CODEX. to the World that the said report was a slanderous libel concocted by some unprincipled Prep or tiendish Soph to soil our fair name, and that the bottle referred to contains nothing worse than a lacteous fluid, and has a rubber tube and mouth-piece attached-a perfectly legitimate com- modity for any infant to carry. Having once for all nailed this lie, which alone has dimmed the luster of our brightness, we feel free to proceed to a detailed history of all that has taken place since we entered Beloit last September. We have three events to record: ' First, our joint meeting with the Sophs to consider a Presidential class-bet. QLet me state right here that we are not accustomed to move except in first-class society, but when we agreed to this joint meeting we had only been here a few weeks and had not yet learned what a bad lot the Sophs are.j The proposed Wager was that if Harrison should be elected the Sophs were not to cut their beards with razor, shears, or any other mutilating instrument until Christmasg and if Cleveland should win we were to wear full beards for the same length of time f Honor to whom honor is due, Ball and Noyes were the projectors of this schemej. There is no doubt but that this agreement would have been effected had it not been for the objections raised by Messrs. Helm, Brace and Mein- hardt of the Sophomore class. Helm said that he could not take up the Wager, for he had no beard to stake. Brace said that as for himself per- sonally, he would not object to wearing a beard, but he feared that his lady friends might not approve, and Erwin said: A.men! Brother Brace. 'l Meinhardt declared that he would sooner quit College than be seen wearing a beard, and We believed him and adjourned. Secondly, when we met to choose class-colors, Chairman McCabe informed us that it was customary to choose colors that would point out some characteristic of the class. Thus ,QI had selected some nice mf! tintsg the Seniors had adopted middle Prep colors, while the juniors wore orange and black-colors of strength and character. The gene-ral sense of the meeting seemed to be that we wanted no such tame, fiabby tinits as ,QI wear, but something of character and meaning. The color committee recommended two shades of green, which were unanimously adopted. The third and last event was our meeting for making ,a dickeriwith the publishers of the Codex. Now, we had learned that it was customary for college annuals to say some pretty mean things about the Freshmen 5 so we called in the editor of the Caziex, and thus addressed him: Is it true that you have compiled sundry hard sayings about Freshmen which FI6ESHMA1lf CLASS. 51 you propose to print upon the pages of the Codex? The editor replied: Yea, verily, we have One hundred and ninety-seven gags which we expect to spring. Then we said: Look you, we would have your love, We would pull your leg, and so have voted to furnish a steel- engraved class-crest for the Codex. Very well, said the editor, we will speak nothing but praises of the Freshmen and will hit the Sophs so much the harder. It is probable that there will be other events later in the year, in fact we have in mind some things that may happen. CLAss I-IISTORIAN.

'While it is especially a feeder 'l-so to speak-to the College, yet there are normal and business courses which many who do not intend to take a full collegiate course pursue. The principal is Prof. A. W. Burr, an experienced teacher, and one who is possessed of rare executive ability. He has a capable force of assistants. There are at present 250 students in the Academy, and the class organi- zations are as follows : ' SENIOR PREPARATORY. COLORS:-Crimson and Black. - OFFICERS. F. B. NOYES, - - ' - - - PRESIDENT. T. H.

Prior to 1859, the Archaean Society was Mc literary society of Beloit College. When the class of '63 entered, tl1ey desired the organi- zation of two rival societies, thinking that by s11ch rivalry a decided stimulus would be given to literary work in the College, but, on account of the strong attachment of the members for the old Archaean Society, no change seemed possible-at that time. However. in December, 1859, the Archaean Society was divided, its constitution altered to meet the new arrangement, and itself 1'e-christened the Archaean Union. The division was effected as follows: Two seniors were chosen to represent the two societies respectively, these two then cast lots as to which should have first choice of the members, the one to whom the lot of nrst choice fell was to be known as Society Number One and the other as Society Number Two, until each should adopt a name of its own. Society No. 1-and it has always been Nd. I-met january 16, 1860, adopted a constitution, and elected Charles H. Mann, '60, President, Edgar V. H. Danner, '60, Vice-President, Theodore M. Slosson, 263, Secretary, and Elisha Morgan, then of '63, Treasurer. The nrst regular meeting was held the next Wednesday evening, January 18, the question, jE'e.v0!z.'m', That the planting of colonies tends to abolish monarchical forms of government, was discussed and decided in favor of the affirmative, Messrs. Geo. H. Cooper, M. O. Southworth, H. A. Humphrey and J. S. Kendall being the appointed disputants. February 29, 1860, the Society adopted the classical name Dalian. The questions which were then being agitated were taken up, discussed, and settled long before the nation was able to settle them. Though the Delian suffered much during the civil war, as did the College, she still maintained her regular meetings with life and vigor. The Society may well be proud of the part her members took in the nationis struggle. Besides having readings, debates, etc., the Delians have had lectures, mock trials and mock congresses. They have tried to it themselves for active citizenship when they should leave these college walls. Until the fall of 1879, the regular weekly meetings were always held Wednesday evenings, but, since the opening of that fall term, the meet- ings have been on Friday evenings. For some time, the Society had no regular place of meeting. Finally, the rhetorical room was secured, and there the Society met until the fall of 1880, when the new rooms in the new fourth story of Middle College were finished off for the two societies. 58 C ODEX. During the winter of '79-80, Prof Hendrickson, a Delian alumnus,'gave a course of three lectures, the proceeds of which were divided between the two societies and used in furnishing the new rooms. The south room was given by lot to the Delians, and there they met for the irst time September 17, 1880. In November, the rooms were dedicated, an alumnus of each society delivering an address and an oyster-supper being served at the North College Club. Most of the pictures which decorate the walls were given to the Society by friends. Since then, the Delians have papered their room and put curtains to the windows. They are now considering the matter of carpeting and of further improving their room, a small fund having been collected from the Delian alumni for that purpose. During the spring of 1880, there was considerable discussion about uniting the two societies, forf they were practically dead. As in all literary societies, there have been times of apparent inactivity, but here they have been few and brief. The Delian is now in a strong and Hourishing condition. The meetings are ably presided over, and the debates are full of life and interest. In public debates, the Delian has successfully coped with the Alethean, and, on the Round Table board, has always held a high place, Of our alumni, there are many we would like to mention, but only one will be named, Edward D. Eaton, who is now at the head of the institution of which he was once a student, our brother and President. OFFICERS. 1888-89. H. B. KUMMEL, '89, - - President. D. R. VVILLIAMS, 590, Vice-President.

This society comprised one of the two divisions of the Archaean Society, which existed from 1851 until the division took place. Formerly ques- tion committees were appointed at each meeting to report at the follow- ing meeting, and the disputants were appointed on the evening two weeks preceding their time of taking part in the debate. On the even- ing of November 4, 1868, a collection was taken for the purchase of candles to illuminate the College in honor of the election of Grant and Colfax, giving evidence that campaigns created as much enthusiasm among the older sons of Beloit as they do to-day. All the great ques- tions since 1859 have been solved by members of the Alethean Society at their meetings. On the evening of October zo, 1869, the society decided that theinterests ofthe country would be bettered if the Capitol was- removed to some place on the Mississippi, but in spite of the effect- ive arguments, We believe, if we are correctly informed, the Capitol remains at Washington to this day. At only one time in the history of the society has it resolved itself into a legislative body. It was attempted many times, but only in Feb- ruary, 1865, are we able to hnd any account of such a meeting. At this time the Aletheans formed themselves into the House of Represen- tatives. The friends of liberty were gratified to know that the House passed the constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery. They also passed another bill to impose an additional tax on whisky. Whether this., 60 CODEX. was done because they had a stock on hand, or because the majority were adherents to the temperance cause, witnesses fail to present them- selves to clear up the mystery for us. Twenty years ago Mr. Dana Sherrill held the president's chair, while beneath him sat Rev. T. D. Christie, faithfully performing the duties of the scribe. As we look back we can imagine the hall to be the scene of most. intense excitemen t. It is the eve of September 29, 1869. There is an election of officers. The tempting offer is that of the secretary- ship. lVe see the men hurrying about anxiously as the ballots are taken. Ballot after ballot is taken, eight, nine, ten, but still no election. At last the thirteenth ballot proclaims a choice, and Mr. Anderson Bruner appears as the champion, and bears away the laurel wreath, but, no! his modesty compels him to draw back from the proffered honor, and he resigns. The boys are tired then, and elect Mr. R. L. Cheney to fill the vacancy on the iirst ballot. We are surprised to see that the society once adjourned because of a wedding at the First Congregational Church, October 27, 1867. September 21, 1870, nine men, made up of Seniors and juniors, resigned from the Alethean on account of some misunderstanding. These men formed the members of the Utropaean, but became members of the Alethean again by signing the constitution during December, I87O. Meetings of the society were held on Wfednesday evenings up to April, 1880, when the change to Friday evenings was made. joint meet- ings were held from time to time with the Delian Society, in which very interesting debates arose. The Aletheans furnished their rooms with fine, comfortable chairs in October, 1880. Fines were always imposed for unexcused absences, and some of these resulted in expulsion. The meetings usually began at 7 : 30 P. M., but in April, 1881, the time was changed to 7:00. On the eve of February 3, 1882, Mr. Hanford read an essay on Maple Sugar Making, and then gave the members a chance to test sugar made by the latest improved processes. November 14, 1884, came near proving an unlucky day for Mr. Herbert Farr, as papers were made out against him by john H, Free- man before Justice R. C. Chapin, charging him with conhscating certain property of the said Freeman, situated in the Chemical Laboratory of Beloit College, said property disappearing as the result of the aforesaid confiscation. On the evening of Sept. 21, 1888, Prof. Salisbury, an Alethean, kept the activity of young Alethean blood at bay by giving them a lecture ALE YWEAN. 61 on student life in Germany. His talk was based on observations made during his recent visit there. To all Aletheans, both old and young, the sentiment contained in the following verses, written in '63 by Chas. H. Douglas, is a worthy tribute to the society and its members. ALETHEAN. This is the place for good debate, For conflicts, earnest, sharp and long 5 To canvass questions of the state, And Hx the bounds ol' right and wrong. This is the place for argument, For faithful students, earnest men 5 Wlrere many pleasant nights are spent ' Within thy halls, Alethean. - Aletheanl thy hall affords A htting place for eloquence, For fiery thoughts and burning words, For fierce attack and quick defense.

Every college must have various lines of development in order to oifer to its students a liberal education and enable them to grapple with the problems which the world presents, and go from college with at least moderately practical ideas of life. The literary portion must command considerable attention in such a course of training, and around this must centre many things that belong to the ripe scholar. Labor that is freely performed must prove most benencial. Hence, the literary society must serve not alone as a stimulus .to the required duties, but also for quiclcening the impulses to voluntary action in these directions. A history of our literary work as a phase of Beloit College life and a review of some of the most important of our College activities belong to our present sketch. . The archives of the Archaean Union reveal some facts which relate to the formation of a society in Beloit College, which was nrst called the Archaean Society. This society had its beginning in a room which has been described as being situated in the stone block of Fisher, Bundy 81 Co. This meeting was held Oct. 18, 1848, and at this time steps were taken for the formation of a constitution and the making of other pre- liminary arrangements. On the evening of Dec. 7 a constitution was adopted and officers chosen. The first ofricers of the society were as follows: President, joseph Collie, Vice-President, G. R. Clark, ,Secret- ary, S. D. Peet, Treasurer, VVm. C. Hooker, Librarian, Strong W'ads- worth. Their meetings were held on Vllednesday evenings. On Oct. 30, 1849, dark blue was chosen as the symbol of the society, and on the same evening a committee was appointed to wait on the Faculty, for the purpose of securing a permanent room for the meetings of the society. In April, 1854, the number of books and periodicals in the library was 4oo. Public meetings began to be held soon after the formation of this organization, and, at the meeting held on Dec. 12, 1849, the Arrhzzezm Magazifze was read. This manuscript periodical doubtless formed the beginning to what was later the Beloit College fllonfhbl, and to-day, the Eeloiz' College Jfozmzl Table. This monthly magazine was first issued as a regular publication in November, 1853, but, Sept. 18, 1875, was changed to a bi-weekly periodical, and has since continued as such. Some time after the institution of public meet- ings, public debates were introduced as an interesting feature of enjoy- ment to friends of the College. The nrst of these was held June 16, 64 C ODEX. 1858. The question for discussion on this occasion was: 'tkesolvfezzl that force is the best means of extending civilization. Thus the interest in literary work was increased by public contests and public exercises of various kinds. V But the results were not so beneficial where the competition was within a single society. Furthermore this one organiza- tion was doubtless fast increasing in numbers. Hence, a separation of the Archaean Society was effected' Dec. 15, 1859, No. 1 becoming the Delian, and No. 2 the Alethean Society. a The histories of these two societies are given in another place, and, having traced the growth of the first literary society of the College up to the time of its division, the remainder of our history will be devoted to the present condition of this same association, which is known as the Archaean Union, sug- gestive ofthe union of the Delian and Alethean societies for the purpose of carrying out exercises of interest to both under a common name. The Archaean Union has a separate constitution, and officers elected at stated times. The constitution has been lately revised and now pro- vides for the better carrying out of its functions. HOME CoNrEs'rs are held each year at some convenient place in our city. Eight speakers are chosen to contest for the privilege of representing the College in the Wisconsin State Oratorical Contest. lt is an unwritten law that the speakers shall be from the Senior Class, save when a sufficient number cannot be obtained from that class. These contests are exceedingly interesting and bring out the best talent ,in the College. So often did representatives from the Archaean Union depart with the palm of victory from the State contests that the other associations withdrew from the State organization, leaving Beloit as the only member of the State Oratorical Association for a period of two years. Racine College has lately joined the State Association, and interest in this line has been correspondingly increased. At the INTER-STATE CoN'r12sTs, at which seven states are repre- sented, Beloit has commanded recognition among the best. Twice she has carried away first prize, and more often she has been a close second. DEBATES are held once a term, excepting when lack of members or outside circumstances affect the frequency with which they occur. These debates are participated in by four speakers, invariably chosen from the Sophomore Class. judges are selected, and the question awarded on the merits of the arguments presented. These debates receive consid- erable attention. The contestants present their best thoughts and strongest arguments in the most concise and convincing language, and Y 7116 .416 C' 1134 EA Ar' UAUOAC G5 deliver such thoughts in the most attractive style. N.o single study or equal amount of time equals this exercise in the variety and fullness of training that it offers. The victories of the two societies have been so evenly divided that the interest has been heightened, and at present the Alethean has a majority of one over the Delian Society. It should be mentioned that the awarding of the question is, while important, a second- ary consideration, and that the contestants rarely fail to do justice and honor to themselves, their class and their College. A poem is presented at each debate, the poet being chosen alternately from the two societies. It is the purpose of the poem to introduce the exercises and prepare the audience for the profundity of arguments which are to follow. LEC'l'URES.-.lDll1'lDg the Commencement week of each year a promi- nent lecturer speaks to the visitors and residents at Beloit. These lec- tures are delivered under the auspices of the Archaean Union and have become a prominent feature in the closing exercises of the College year. LIBRARY AND READING Room.-Perhaps no influence is more potent in maintaining the cordiality between the two societies and serves better to preserve community of interests than the Archaean Library. This is the rendezvous for those who have a leisure hour to spend in reading. Here students meet to consider College topics. If the walls and shelves could but speak, they would give a very complete history of the student life of our College. The library is furnished with standard books and leading periodicals. It is the custom to furnish the Reading Room with those periodicals that are not to be found in the College Library, and the books are also of that kind that cannot often be found in the College Library. Thus, whatever the main library fails to supply, is furnished in some degree by this, the students' library. There are also here ex- changes from the principal colleges in the United States. Every student in both College and Academy may enjoy the privileges of thelibrary por! tion at the same rates that are required of a member of the Union, which fees are barely able to pay the services of a librarian. The libra, rian is chosen from the members of the Union, and holds ofhce for one year. The duties of said librarian are at present performed by our genial friend and classmate, S. M. Smith, of Galena, Ill. TQOUND 'l'AisI,E.--Tlie regular publication of the Union is the Round Table, which began its existence more than thirty-tive years ago. lt was hrst a monthly publication, but since 1875 has been a bi-weekly magazine. This paper tries to make itself worthy of its friends and of the College. Its literary merit is praised by all, and the desire of the 66 ' CODEX. students is that it may be the best college paper, not in the West alone, but in the whole country. We have often been much pleased to receive letters from our subscribers in which they declared our publication the best in the country. However, it is not for us to boast, but we hope to make the Rozmfi Table as good as any if it has not already attained that standard. Five editors distribute the literary work. At the head of these is the editor-in-chief. Articles of high literary standard are contributed by Alumni and friends. Editorials, locals, personals and exchanges give a vivid account of our own activities and inform our readers on the affairs of other colleges and our Alumni. The business management will, after the present year, rest with a manager and assist- ant. There are now two assistants. We are thankful to our friends for a moderate degree of business success, but we still hope that our read- ers may increase in numbers, feeling that our Table is worthy of a large increase. The price of the IC'0Zl7Z!l7 Table is two dollars per year to any part of the United States. Thus the immediate functions of literary societies belong to the Delian and Alethean organizations, but the larger functions, those which concern the College and which have to do with the outside world, belong to the two societies acting in the capacity of a single organization. The contests are entered into with the determination to win, but the rival societies are friendly, and by their united efforts can make more successful the enterprises which they undertake. J. H. C.

HISTORY. In 1849 a Missionary Society was formed in the College. S. D. Peet was the first President, and L. M. Darling, Secretary and Treas- urer. The object of the society was to promote and foster a missionary spirit in the College, and to strengthen the general religious life of the student body. . The seed sown in that society has borne and is bearing fruit in many portions of the globe, where sons of the institution are laboring as missionaries. A few years ago the Missionary Society was merged intoa Young Men's Christian Association. A special feature is made of regular missionary meetings, where letters from missionary alumni are often read. Regular meetings are held thrice each week, on Sunday morn- ings and Tuesday and Friday evenings. It isone of the leading Northwestern college associations. The executive head of the organ- ization is a board of six directors, of which the chairman, elected by ballot, serves one year. OFFICERS. D. R. WILLIAMS, '90, Chairman. J. A. BLAISDELL, '89. M. M.

The junta is the only literary society now sustained by the students of the Academy. This society was organized in the spring of 18971. The name was suggested by Prof. Blaisdell, and will be easily recognized as Spanish. For a number of years the Preparatory Department had maintained two rival societies, the Adelphian and the Philagoreang but, at last, being unable to keep up interest in both, they disbanded,-and the Iunta was immediately started by' the best and most active' members ofthe old societies. In the spring of 1886, a part ofthe members being' displeased withdrew and organized a rival society, which they called the Adelphiang but it lived only a few months. - - . Though the junta has passed through trying times, she has always been the strongest society in the institution. The regular' meetings are held every Friday evening in the rhetoric room. They are usual-ly well attended, and are always lively and interesting. The society is at present in a highly iiourishing condition. ' OFFICERS. i FALL TERM. E. Gr. HOYLER, - - - - President. G. H.

The Beloit College Athletic Association, organized September 24, 1880, was the outcome of a feeling which for some time pervaded the body of students in general. The need of an organization of this sort had long been felt, for the boys must meet, on common vantage ground, and share their college sports as 'ihail-fellows well met, With this in view, therefore, a general meeting ofthe students was called in Septem- ber of 1880 to consider the propriety of organizing an athletic associa- tion. As every good cause meets with general commendation, so, likewise, the scheme for an athletic association met with hearty approval. To the students then assembled a constitution, previously prepared by a committee-I-I. P. Williams, '82, being chairman-was read and adopted. It is needless to say that this constitution had for its basis principles of government worthy that of any organization, and, with but few by-laws, has remained the code of government. The next step at this meeting was the enrollment of members to the number of thirty, all being active members. It is pleasing to know that the several branches of the Athletic Association as then organized have remained as such to the present, and now are in the prime and vigor of life, the present en- rollment being seventy, nearly all active. These several branches are, respectively: Base-ball Nine, Foot-ball Team, Boat Crew and Field Day Exercises. The officers who were elected by this organization at its first meeting, and who, according to the constitution, could only hold their ofihce one year, were as follows: H. P. VVILLIAMS, '82, - President. W. A. KNAPP, '84, - Vice-President. W. F. COOLING, '82, - Secretary. H. S. FLSKE, '82, ----- Treasurer. And the officers chosen for the various branches were: E. J.

The Secretary has a com- munication from Rockford which concerns the class and will accordingly be read. 'Mr.- Secretary, please read the tender missive which alone is evidence of the esteem in which we are held. Would-be-Boss Blaisdell-As the communication is somewhat persorzzzi I shall read that portion which directly concerns the class. fR.ezzzz'r.j You will understand the object of the Seminary class in addressing me. I have, as you doubtless know, gone through many stages preceding that of marriage. In fact, I am efzgczgeri, and my own patiently awaits the arrival of the happy day. They have relied on me, as a social favorite, to bring the matter before my class-mates in a proper light. I am a great schemer and wire-puller. Like Alexander, I sigh for more worlds to- E. B. Martin, Cczpmifz and Pifrhez' Base-ball Nine-Mr. President, I make the more that the invitation be accepted and that we resolve to be at Rockford next Thursday night. S.-S. B.-Does the motion receive a second? B. M.-I second the movement. S.-S. B.-No person can second his own motion. E. B. M.-I rise to a point of order. S.-S. B.-Please state your point. E. B. M.-I have a right to second my own movement, or even third it, if necessary. ' W. B. B.-In order to avoid any controversy, I second the motion and suggest that the Secretary, I myseli be instructed to send the joyful news to the Senior class of the Seminary. ' E. B. M.-I agree to the change in the movement. . Would-be Tuff Russell-Mebbe I donft know nothing about this thing, but, you bet, if it was for me to say what should be, we would not go as a class, but each would go or not, just as he please. It makes me SEAYOIC CL,-1.S'S ZVIEE ZYzVG. 107 weary to think that some of us who are brilliant lights must go with those who don't belong with the people. I say come off to such a proposition.- G. B. Ingersoll-It gives me Payne to think that we must go with a lot of hoodoos. If Russell and myself would go alone, we would do what was proper, but I hain't going with every one that wants to go along. Some of the class are too nice to play cards, and, as for me, I want congenial companions. Two o'clock is my bed time when I am away at a hotel. Some of the class are foolish enough to give away any little game that we may engage in. H. B. Kummel-I can hardly agree with the -gentleman that has just spoken. The dear girls will expect the whole class, and I don't think we should be ashamed of any member of the class. If the dear, good Faculty is kind enough to let us.go, I am of the opinion that we should not play poker, billiards, etc. If one goes, all should go. Now, when I wished to score for the nine last summer and clung to the score-book with a dogged tenacity? ' E. B. M.-Mr. President, I rise to a point of order. It seems to me that it doesn't matter whether the Faculty is willing that We should go or not. If this august Faculty is not in favor of our going, I say, go anyway. Of course, we cannot always agree. If all were of the same mind, I might have been elected captain of the nine after resigning as president of the Athletic Association. F Ex-Captain Armstrong-Mr. President, the gentleman has forgotten the subject under discussion. I have consulted a professor whom you all respect and love, and he says that we should go together and aid one another in any difficulties that may arise. I believe that we should do just as the professors say, and it will be for our interest to do it. When I was really forced to resign because Martin and some others wished to have their own way-1 Auburn-Haired Shipnes-It occurrs to me that this gentleman has likewise deviated from the path parallel to which we have been pro- gressing. I had intended to be as silent as the mute lips of the voice- less dust, but I am now moved to weigh the momentous discussions before us-yea, even to move into the realms of eternal and boundless space and to encircle the glittering shiners of the heavens, to reach the purple hills of memory, even, in order to discover that indefinably grand and majestic thing-truthq Love is a wonderful wonder.

Let us take a vote on this question. I ani Hrmly convinced that we should take a stand as a class against all intoxicating liquors. This curse must be-put down by just such men as are in this class.

IJEAREST HANk : You have always taken a great interest in our class and we feel that we should send a few words of greeting to you from time to time. In reply to your proposition, we would say that we are very happy to hear that your back door will always be open to us. You will find us faithful and among your best customers. Our action in putting 'gols colors in your windows is a blot upon our none too good record. But then it was so funny, ha, ha, ha! It was too bad that the Sem. girls never came near the windows and all our trouble was in vain. All our endeavors seem to die a' bornin'. We tried to ring a bell on the Juniors at the time of their exhibition, but the attempt ended in a miserable failure and is a source of great discouragement to us, especially as everybody says that the last junior HEX. was one of the very best in the history of this College. The amount expended was 51345, besides 55.70 for mocks Can you help us out a little? We got out some dandy mock programmes, thanks to Van Hovenberg, Morey, Merrill, and lesser lights. lfVe found a fellow down on the street by the name of Gibbons who did the dirty work. If at any time you want a person to aid in carrying out some low scheme, you will find him willing to undertake the job. The class is going on in the even tenor of its way. Brewer is treading the same paths he has always trod. His principal characteristic is that of Ending fault in all meetings of the students. He is not noticed, however, and does no harm. Barker continues to wax his mustache. Brace still yearns with all the intensity of his eight-by-ten soul for Beloit's gay social whirl. Erwin, over his guitar, tries to forget mathematics and conditions. E. J. Evans and Osborne look away to next Prize Deo, the latter saying to himself constantly, if at Iirst you clon't succeed, etc. johnson continues to smole his sheepish smile. Dick is with us still. He is a different type. An honest, good- hearted man. Would there were more like him in our class and fewer cranks and chumps. We sincerely hope that your love for us has not abated. Wishing you success, we remain, Truly yours, CLASS or '91. Tn fLz1zk Tl-, - Ciiy. 110 C ODEX. Proqliuitieg. B-rk-1'. I am a pitcher. Co11ceit may puff a 1113111 up, but never prop hi111 up. Bl'-CC.

I build houses only-as Paul made tents-to earn the money to carry on the work, and to support myself and the corps of mission workers, associated with myself and wife in the work.

Beebe, Real Estate Dealer, West Superior, Wisconsin.- Prediction 1 I11 the year 1900 there will be at the head of the lakes a popu- lation of 200,000, of which number West Superior will furnish 100,000. Her total valuation in 1885 was 3'5500,000. Her valuation in 1888 is 39,500,000 She has seven railroads, with three more coming, and 52,500,000 to be expended in manufactories during the year 1889. There is a tide in her real estate market, which, taken at its flood. will lead to fortunes. That tide is now, when property can be bought in West Superior at one-half the price asked in other towns that have not one-half the promise. Horace R. Hobart, M.

'We prefer those who have had experience in canvassing for books, or other kind of soliciting. We have over Ioo Teachers, School Superintendents and Principals of Schools now engaged in selling memberships, and they average to earn over S100 per month each, where they devote their whole time to this work. A few earn as high as 55300 and 4oo per month. The business is much pleasanter than canvas- sing for books. Many teachers say they will never again enter the school work so long as we will give them employment. Best of references required. WVe have many testi- monials like the following : I take pleasure in testifying to the merits of the National Library Association. I have had many dealings with the firm and have always found them just and honorable.
