Until Ioseph Emerson was nine years old his father, Rev. Ralph Emerson, was pastor of the church in picturesque and intellectual Norfolk, Conn. Declining a call to the presidency of Western Reserve College, he removed to Andover, where, for a quarter of a century, he filled the chair of Ecclesiastical History. Beloit visitors at Andover are glad to see, honored on the classic walls of the Seminary, the portrait of a father who was always an inspiration and a companion to his son. joseph Emerson's early school and college honors were always most prized as loyal offerings to the father's gratihcation. The later years of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Emerson, several of which were spent in Rockford, were characterized by a most hearty and constant interest in Beloit College, an interest only partially expressed by the considerable additions to the resources of the College which came through their influence. Their honored remains rest in the Beloit Cemetery, and their memorial is the Emerson Library Fund, given principally by their son, Mr. Ralph Emerson, of Rockford. Prof. Emerson's course of preparatory study was completed at Phillips Academy, Andover, after a year's interruption for the recuperation of health. This year, spent in Colebrook, Conn., on the farm of his Grandfather Rockwell, one of the nobility of Litch- field County, brought a serviceable education in practical arts and deepened the native poetic love for landscape, animals, fruits and flowers, to which the pastoral garden on College Street still always testifies. Mr. Emerson graduated from Yale College in 1841. Among his many distinguished classmates were Judge Learned, Rev. Dr. W. T. Eustis, judge Birdseye, and Donald G. Mitchell. After teaching for one year as Principal of Union Academy, New London, Conn. fa year which students of that Academy still rememberj, he entered Andover Seminary 7 where he pursued his theological studies for two years. Then he accepted a call to a tutorship at Yale Colle l ' l ge, wiere ie taught Latin, mathematics, and natural philosophy, continuing meantime his theological studies. For four years he held this tutorship under the administrations of Presidents Day and Woolsey. In 1848 came the call to Beloit. After two days of wet journeying from Milwaukee, President A. L. Chapin, then a pastor in Milwaukee and a Trustee of the scarcely born College, with the drenched but undamped new Professor, drove up to our Campus, where they found mounds and the walls and frame of a brick building three stories and a half 19 high. Prof. Emerson is surprised, by good omen, to hnd that his single colleague, already arrived, is none other than his loved classmate, Prof. jackson I. Bushnell. Do you think we can have a College here? asked the newly-appointed Professor of Languages, and the newly-appointed Professor of Mathematics replied, Yes-if we make it. l' Coming out from his lirst meeting with the hardy, tender Trustees, after their frontier praying together, Prof. Emerson at once wrote to his father, in this characteristic expression of reverent responsibility: If I have any doubt whether I ani right in accepting lhe trust thus laid upon me, it is because I feel afraid to stand among so many prayers. A Dr. Emerson was married to Miss Mary C. North, Sept. 7, 1852. After her death he married, a's his second wife, Miss Helen F. Brace, Iuly 9, 1884. In 1869, Prof. Emerson went abroad, spending more than a year in travel and study in Europe, Egypt, and Palestine. The Beloit boys who catch his Hellenic enthu- siasm, and so visit Delphi, find there no oracle more suggestive than Prof. Emerson's entry on the Visitors' Book, made in those days when entries were rare and Delphi only visited by most devoted Hellenists. With the exception of this absence, Prof. Emerson has been constantly a part of the life of Beloit, of the Church, of the College, for more than forty years, until his present absence in Europe since the autumn of 1888. He is expected to be again in America in time to attend the jubilee of his class in New Haven in the early summer. From these travels, in which Mr, and Mrs. Emerson have been seeking needed rest, their return is eagerly expected at Beloit, even among students who have not known personally our Professor, for he can be no stranger while his former pupils quote warmly to the newer comers the Homeric: Zeus will one day come back again from Oceanus to his own Olympusf while he sends object-lessons among us, such as the cast of Hermes, that teaches Greek in the Greek room, while his Emersonian words are unforgetable, sounding in Beloit ears: Keep the ball rolling, or sounding his special message to 'gzz Tell them to keep the College full of soul. Even while he is present in the College halls, it is by such deep-sinking laconic utterances and godly object-lessons that Prof. Emerson exercises much of his unique influence, so that a Freshman half forgets the wonderfully exact Greek scholarship and wide Greek culture of the master while under the direct power of the man. 17 Joseph Emerson 'T was when our hrst two young professors came to start this College in the prairie li grass that Beloit's Prof. Emerson was born into a simple, rich career, interesting and appreciated enough, even if one turns no farther back than that era-making record. But this career had been already prophesied by the preceding student-life, the boyhood, and the ancestry of Beloit's Prof. Emerson. He was born in Norfolk, Conn., May 28, 1821. His parents, Rev. Ralph Emerson-and Eliza Rockwell, could each trace descent from the most stalwart of New England's eujm!rifz'1e. Indeed, Ralph Emerson's ancestry may be traced back through the Bulkley family to the times of William the Conqueror, yet the more inspiringly democratic part of the long genealogy lies, doubtless, at the Heroic Age of the Puritan immigrations, when Rev. Peter Bulkley left wealth and position to escape the persecutions of Charles I. and Archbishop Laud. In 1636 his family, separated in different ships and in disguise, started on that conscience-led style of pilgrimage westward which was, two hundred years later, to bring their descendant to Southern Wisconsin. It was a Rev. joseph Emerson of 1674 that, fleeing from destruction wrought by King Philip's Indians at Mendon, Mass., found at Concord, Mass., a home and a bride-Elizabeth Bulkley. Concord remained unharmed during King Philip's war, For, said the chief, Bulkley is there, the man of the big pray. From this time on men of the Emerson family appear in each generation with influence, as it were, of clerical or literary bishops over this heart- region of New England. At the time of the French and Indian war and of the Revolution we hnd representative Emersons filling patriotic pulpits at Concord-a town destined to be always proud in just this name, others we find as enthusiastic, 'intimate supporters of such makers of America as George Whitefield and Mary Lyon in their aggressive religious and educational work. Among the rare literary possessions of Prof. Emerson is Chaplain Daniel Emerson's journal of 1775, a valuable historical document, headed, 'K My Procedure with the Army to Crown Point. ' See frontispieee. . 20 When came the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of Dr. Emerson's professorship, it was an opportunity seized by many of his distinguished friends and by members of all the classes that have graduated from the College to express their gratitude to an honored teacher in warm written greetings from the world over. It may be doubted whether any other teacher ever received such a mass of letters telling just such a Beloit style of revering friendship, and, engraved in gold, from the Beloit Alumni came the words of Xenophon in Greek letters that they remembered: ' He made many to set their hearts upon true manlinessf' To the rare scholarly personality of the teacher is added always a quiet, business-like interest in the College's administration and nnance, so that it is heard, though it is never proclaimed, that 575,000 in various sums has been added to the resources through his influence. The College Library has had all its growth under Prof. Emerson as Librarian, and its present value proves his constant care in putting right books upon the shelves while funds were very limited. Such activities still mark the teacher's plannings for the good of the College, and hll his hopes of soon returning to loved tasks, where his Grecian vigor shall illustrate that The ripe old man ought to be as young as old-as old as young. U Prof. Emerson would only wish placed on record here his deep thankfulness for the privilege of being allowed to help on such a work, with such men and such material as the students of Beloit College have afforded, from which to make the men of the present and the future. V 23 James J. Blaisdell 'T HERE a human life is full of spiritual efficiency, the external facts of that life are i at once of very small and of very large account. No one, unacquainted with the life, can tell much about it by that which the annalist records, and yet those who are acquainted with the life desire to know the details as helps to their recollection and imagination of the man, so they more easily and more fully recall the past, and they more successfully extend what they know over what they do not know, till they seem to possess the whole. It is like a view of a person's face or of his picture: it means very little to a stranger, it means a great deal to a friend. It is the spiritual history through which the external history becomes of any moment. To be a worthy pastor, or teacher, or man, one does not need a visible history that is striking, it is not necessary that men should say, Lo, here l or Lo, therel , for the achievements of the spirit are within men. The external life of james I. Blaisdell has been chiefly as follows: He was born in Canaan, New Hampshire, February 8th, 18273 moved to Lebanon in 18343 spent a term at the famous Kimball'Union Academy, was at Dartmouth College from I842 to 18463ataught in Montreal for a year, studied law with his father about three years, changed, or, rather, elevated, his plans and studied for the ministry at Andover Theological Seminary from 1849 to I8525 was pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church in Cincinnati from 1852 to 18593 entered the service of Beloit College as Professor of Rhetoric and English Literature in 1859, was transferred in 1865, by his own preference, to the department of Mental and Moral Philosophy, and has occupied that chair since. Such have been the lines of the development and fulfilment of his vocation. By way of avocation, Prof Blaisdell was Superintendent of Schools in Lebanon for about two years of his early manhood, and in Beloit from 1860 to 1864, he has been a frequent preacher here and there, as occasion arose, including especially the charge of the Presbyterian pulpit in Beloit for about a year in the beginning of his work as a teacher, he was Chaplain of the Fortieth Wisconsin Infantry through their hundred days' service in the region of Memphis, he traveled in Europe about 18695 he has thrown himself with great energy into the discussion of such public questions as seemed to him to bear most upon the progress of the kingdom of Christ. He was made a Doctor of Divinity by both Dartmouth and Knox Colleges in 1873, he has been sought for the Presidency of at least two of our best western colleges, but has preferred to make one cumulative work at Beloit. 24 Amongst these more visible facts as a framework are woven the profounder spiritual facts of the life of the man. Prof. Blaisdell once put upon record his own convictions as to the forces which had been most powerful in making him what he has been and is. One is an honorable ances- try, his father having been a leader of the New Hampshire bar, and his grandfather a Revolu- tionary soldier and an early member of Congress. Another is the freedom with which he was able and was moved to commune with nature in that region of the upper Connecticut where the giant White Mountains are softened to a less tumultuous upheaval, but, if possible, to a yet more wonderful beauty. Third and chief was the fact that he had the blessing of being trained amid the plain and simple ways of a strenuous and genuine people and in a thoroughly Christian home. Prof. Blaisdell doubtless owes much of the breadth and strength of his work to his early study of the law. He would himself be as quick as any one to aflirm that a thorough and well-balanced course of theological study, a course that begins and ends with the Bible, is the best possible foundation for a life-work of quickening the minds and expanding the hearts of young men. Through all he has had those great essentials to success, a hearty love for his work, and the power to rejoice in it, a genuine love for his pupils, and the heart to spend upon each of them a constant personal care. His home has always been a place of abounding hospitality to the students, and has gone beyond them to take in their friends, the friends of the College, the friends of Christ's kingdom, and many a weary stranger who needed refreshing before going farther upon his way. Not the least interesting feature of Prof. Blaisdell's work has been his union of catholicity with specialization of interest and study. Every one who is interested in anything good, and especially in anything helpful to life and character, Ends in Prof. Blaisdell a sym- pathizing and intelligent friend, many a person devoting his entire time and zeal to a par- ticular branch of study or reform has learned from Prof. Blaisdell a great deal that he did not know. Prof. Blaisdell has added several languages to the number that are ordinarily known to the college-bred man 5 among humanitarian activities he has given time and strength to the struggle with intemperance, to the improvement of prisons, and to the reformation of convicts. Among public questions he has been of the foremost in the protest against the exclusion of the Bible from the public schools. But it is by his work for his pupils that he would himself prefer to bejudged. He has now taught more than thirty classes. This sketch may well close with the testimony of one of his scholars: As a man, Prof. Blaisdell seems to strangers somewhat reserved, yet genial and scholarly. To old acquaintances, and especially to his former pupils, he is a life-long, manly, Christian friend, for whom they all cherish feelings both of reverence and of strong affection. His unselhsh and untiring devotion to the best welfare of those under his charge has impressed on each the nobility of self-sacrificing service for the good of others. if 27 Daniel Kimball Pearsons O ONE who was present will ever forget that culminating moment of the memorable M Commencement of 1889, when it was disclosed that the friend who had pledged to Beloit College the munincent gift of 5IO0,000 was Dr. D. K. Pearsons, of Chicago, who was seated upon the platform beside the President. As he rose to his feet amid a tempest of applause, in which the oldest and most sedate seemed vying with the youngest and most enthusiastic, all were impressed with the strong personality of their newly-dis- covered friend. The erect form, the keen and flashing dark eye, the nervous directness of speech, the emotion quivering along the edges of his wit, all spoke the man of strong, deep nature. To know him personally is but to have these impressions confirmed and enriched. The CODEX is glad to be able to present his portrait herewith, with abrief outline of his career. Daniel Kimball Pearsons was born in Bradford, Vt., April 14, 1820, of staunch Green Mountain stock. His father was a farmer. His mother was of the Israel Putnam family, famed in Revolutionary annals. She was the mother of nine children, and, in old age, took a quiet pride in referring to the time when she used to spin and weave the clothing for her entire family. Their son Daniel commenced teaching at sixteen years of age, and for ive winters was monarch of the country school. He then studied for two years at Dartmouth College, and graduated in medicine at Woodstock. He practiced medicine suc- cessfully in the East for several' years, but in 1857 the growing West so ired his enthusiasm that he removed to Illinois, where he soon settled in Chicago, and built up a very large loaning business. When hard times came, later, and values shrunk, his business sagacity was attested in the invariable soundness of the loans he had made. In 1877 he retired from business Qfor othersj, his own large and growing property now demanding his whole attention. He was now the owner of extensive timber lands and numerous farms, and was investing largely in Chicago property. He was a Director of the Chicago Chamber of Commerce, of the Chicago City Railway Company, and other leading institutions, He had twice been elected Alderman from the First Ward by a union of the best citizens without regard to party. As Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Coun- 28 cil, he performed a memorable service for the city, at a time when its credit was imperiled and disaster was imminent. He visited the bankers of the East and pledged his personal honor and fortune and the honor of the, city that its debts would be paid, His word was believed, confidence was restored, and the city's indebtedness was paid, principal and interest, although the courts decided the old certificates of indebtedness void, so that the whole could have been repudiated. Of late years, Dr. Pearsons has traveled extensively in the Old World and the New, and has given much thought to planning and carrying out extensive works of beneficence, the natural outcome of the quiet good deeds of many years. The magnificent Presbyterian Hospital of Chicago is a monument to his wisdom and energy, it being almost wholly due to his influence with others, supplemented by his own exertions and gifts. In 1889, on leaving for a tour abroad, the Doctor suddenly discharged a quiverful of Parthian Arrows, which woke up the whole country. One shot was aimed at Knox Col- lege, a gift of SB5o,ooo, resulting in quickened activity among all its friends. Another struck at Lake Forest, whose Trustees were struggling to meet large pledges to their President, and its Sroo,ooo point turned their threatened failure into complete success. lrVe all remember' what enthusiasm and eager effort were aroused among us by the Sroo,ooo he let fly at Beloit, and we are only beginning to see the wide-reaching blessings from that splendid act of' strategic beneficence to our College. In early manhood, Dr. Pearsons married Miss Marietta Chapin, a member of that large and distinguished family of Western Massachusetts to which our own honored ex-Pres- ident belongs. She has been the beloved companion of all these stirring years of her hus- band's life, beautifully sharing in all his benefactions, into which her heart has been poured as freely as his. Dr. Pearsons is a noble specimen of New England character of the strongest type, the- granite foundation of our American civilization. Of large and sinewy frame, with keen, ever- searching mind, deeply reverent, but intolerant of shams, fearless in expressing his convic- tions, frugal, indomitable in purpose, glorying in hard work, quick to foresee what work will bring largest returns, a tirm believer in Christian institutions, especially in Christian educa- tion of the most thorough sort, a friend of struggling merit always, but never helping any- thing that is not doing the utmost to help itself-his life is a tonic and blessing to young lives- everywhere. May it be many long years before he ceases to be a young man himself! , 2 Ugfzfrflfff 31 James W. Scoville filg5HE most honored guest of the College at the Commencement of 1890 was Mr. Ei El James W. Scoville, whose life-like portrait, on steel, is herewith presented for the hrst i time to his many friends. - Forty-two years before, he had walked into Beloit, having trudged all the ninety miles from Chicago to get here. He came a youth just from the East, poor, modest, willing to be clerk in a country store, that he might have the satisfaction of living in a college town. He returned last summer to present to the College a noble building, part of the fruitage of his noble and successful life-our SCOVILLE HALL-tO be an educational center for thousands of young men in generations to come. As he delivered over to the Trustees of the College, in his own quiet, self-contained, graceful way, this massive edince, what memories must have filled his mind and heart, what enthusiasm overflowed from ours! James XV. Scoville was born on the 14th of October, 1825, in the town of Pompey, Onondaga County, N. Y., near the spot where his grandfather settled in 1795, when there was but one log house where the city of Syracuse now stands. His mother died when he was but five years old, leaving his father, with five helpless children dependent upon him, alone in the struggle with poverty. Mr. Scoville's boyhood days were spent on a farm. His early life was one of unusual privation andhardship, and he had but little opportunity of attending school. It was not until he was twenty years of age that he entered the Oneida Conference Seminary at Casenovia, after a few months of hard work and study there, he succeeded in getting a situation to teach a district school at 312.50 a month, boarding himself! Yet the pittance he received for his winter's work seemed larger in his eyes than many times that amount at any later period in his life. V ln the following year, 1846, he entered Manlius Academy, where for two years, im- pelled by his intense desire to obtain an education, he put forth such efforts in labor, teach- ing, and study as seriously impaired his health and finally compelled him to relinquish his cherished desire of entering college. He united with the Presbyterian Church at Manlius in 1847. While struggling to maintain himself in the Academy, he was at one time treated so 32 rudely by sons of wealthy parents that he told the principal he thought he must give up the effort. Never mind, was the reply, the time may come when you shall change places with these young men, and in after years one of them did seek and obtain employment under him. In the fall of 1848 he decided to try his fortunes in the W'est. He reached Beloit on the 14th of October, and was clerk in a store here for four months, tutoring some prepara- tory students in Latin in his spare moments, and joining the Sunday School of the First Congregational Church, of which Mr. S. T. Merrill was then superintendent. He taught school a little while in Freeport, and then returned to New York. He spent one year in a small mercantile business, having Geo. M. Pullman for his neighbor in the little store adjoin- ing his. In 1850 he accepted a position as clerk for a large firm of contractors on public works, in order the better to serve their interests, he spent his evenings in studying engi- neering and surveying, with the result that, remaining with them six years, he was promoted fromlstep to step, until, when he resigned, he occupied the position of general manager and nnancial agent of the firm. To these studies and responsibilities are traceable in part, no doubt, the interest in public improvements and the skill in planning them, which have been so marked in his later life. l Mr. Scoville was married in 1853, and in 18,56 he returned, with his wife, to Chicago, where he was engaged for a time in various kinds of business, in 1861 opening a real estate agency, in which he remained until 1871, when he was elected President of the Prairie State Loan and Trust Company, to which has more recently been added the Prairie State National Bank, of which he is now President, his only son, Charles B. Scoville, the intimate sharer of his father's commercial and benevolent activities, having taken the presidency of the Loan and Trust Company. In 1857 Mr. Scoville purchased a beautiful piece of ground in Oak Park, west of the city, where he built his home. He subsequently made large investments in real estate in the vicinity, some of it regarded by many as of questionable value, on account of its marshy character, but his great energy and splendid public spirit have been rewarded by the devel- opment of Oak Park and Ridgeland into a beautiful suburb, with a most desirable class of residents, and the best religious and educational advantages. Mr. Scoville has drained large tracts of land, laid miles of stone sidewalk, built and operated water-works, erected many houses, fairly creating a delightful town. He has been in large measure the founder of the 33 Oak Park Congregational Church, carrying through the building of its noble stone edihce, Mrs. Scoville presenting it later with a hne pipe organ. Although the condition of health of his beloved wife has of late years caused Mr. Scoville to live much of the time in California, his heart is still in Oak Park and its church, and he still gives much thought and money for their well-being. ' For years he had cherished the plan of giving a library-building to Oak Park. The financial strains of the years 1873 to 1877 delayed the carrying out of the project. At that time Mr. Scoville had a savings-bank department in his business. Almost every savings-bank in Chicago failed., To avoid any possible catastrophe in his case, Mr. Scoville sacrificed a considerable part of his property, and resolutely compelled every depositor in his savings- bank to draw out the whole of his deposit, principal and interest! Finally he was able to begin work upon his library, and the magnihcent building, which, with its endowment, cost SBI 15,ooo, was dedicated on the fortieth anniversary of the , when, having started to walk from Chicago to Beloit, he stopped to rest at noon and eat a bowl of bread and milk under an old oak tree where now the Scoville Institute stands, an enduring memorial of God's blessing on the integrity, faith and courage of the boy, and a monument of the wisdom and generosity of the boy grown to a place among the leading citizens of the metropolis. Could there have been found in all our land a man better fitted to be the founder of the Academy Hall of Beloit College, and an example and inspiration to all its students, than James W. Scoville ?

J 35 Beloit's Prosperity CC ELOIT'S PROSPISRITYV' exclaims an alumnus of twenty years' standing, Oh, yes, I see. This is a 'funny' article, these chaps are going to try to be witty at the expense of the discrepancy between the College's aspirations and her means. A sorry subject you've chosen, young man, for the exercise of your irony. Not at all, my friend and elder brother. Such a purpose is farthest from our thought, as you will shortly perceive. But your words may serve to show how firmly the name of Beloit College has been associated in the minds of her older friends with anything but financial prosperity. People have not yet gotten out of the rut of thinking of the College as poverty-stricken, partially, perhaps, because we have taken no account of stock for some little time, during which a considerable number of changes have occurred. It may be that the title chosen exhibits too much of the wish that is father to the thought, but please suspend your judgment at least till the evidence is submitted. It is a difficult task to establish a standard of prosperity which shall take account of all the conditions of an educational institution. A business prospers when making money. The prosperous physician, lawyer, and dentist all receive that appellation under similar conditions, sometimes, but oftener, let us hope, for success in their professions. But a up i College-when shall we say it prospers . Certainly no College worthy of the name measures prosperity absolutely by the relation existing between income and expenditure. Harvard University is a good example of the relatively small importance of strict business standards as applied to Colleges, from the fact that she spends every year from ifty to one hundred thousand dollars above her regular income. Nor are numbers a 'true criterion. There are many Huniversities, especially in the West, which are large compared with Beloit, both in means and attendance, to which the title prosperous would be a misnomer. A certain amount of endowment is at necessity, not Me necessity, to progress and prosperity. The conndence of undergraduates and alumni, the trust of the public and a certain influence over it, a corps of faithful and efficient instructors, between whom and the student body 12. ,, f-4, ii ,L - 36 5' fa, -4, . .

These are the conditions which a College must meet before it shall deserve the title prosperous. Of these none save the last needs discussion beyond an affirmation of the self-evident fact of its presence. i The good-will of the students is constantly cropping out in all their relations with the Faculty. Alumni can give no better proof of their loyalty than they have given in sending their sons back to follow their fathers' footsteps. These sons of former students began coming about 1876 and have steadily grown in numbers, so that they furnished about 6 per cent. of the names in the catalogue of '88-'89, The citizens of Beloit have demonstrated their sense of the benefit of the College by various means. The latest was the raising of a sum of money in the spring of '89. As to its influence upon the community, that is an intangible thing, hard to estimate and harder to characterize. The intellectual as well as the social life of the town is largely affected by the atmosphere of the College, while respect and regard are steadily increasing in the country at large. The institution is becoming better and better known, and is receiving more atten- tion constantly. It were far from desirable that absolutely no clashing should occur between Faculty and students. There have been, and I hope there always will be, times when the two bodies have differed with regard to College matters. These affairs, however, have usually been adjusted to the satisfaction of all, from the seating of the Senior Preps. in the middle aisles in Chapel in '86 and the stealing of their three-cornered hats down to the football training table last fall. As to the depth and seriousness of student life beneath its outer form, the impression left upon a casual visitor is deepened by further investigation., In discussing the last, and perhaps most important, of these conditions, it will be wise, in order that we may appreciate what is, to inform ourselves about what has been. An extract from the Free Press in the year 1876 will give concisely a view of the general con- dition of affairs at that time: For the past seven years in buildings she fBeloitj has gained only an incomplete gymnasium, at a cost of S4,000.00. In funds, only a few thousand dollars. In equipment, hardly anything save a thousand or so of books. if X It is well known that she over-spends her income every year. if ef fi She is believed to give young men a better education than any other institution within five hundred miles, and by being a private institution she has liberty to ground her teachings in the positive truths of religion. But of these facts the first is not sufficiently known and .the second is not sufficiently valued by the T li E A 4 12 fT '1 .f ' Q, E ' EIL E.

So the College starves along, with fewer students than it could profitably teach, and cut off from the peculiar pleasure of making rapid progress in what she can do for young men. It is almost depressing to read of the efforts put forth in those days and the apparently meagre returns they yielded. But, turning from this darker face into the twilight of dawn, let us read an extract from the same writer's account of the Commencement of '86. Some gifts from friends are mentioned, and then: These seem the beginning of better things. The sky is bright with hope. Those friends with both the ability and willing- ness to do great things for Beloit had begun to appear, and the beginning of the beginning was at hand. In the spring of '89, on top of the encouragement offered by the increased size of the College classes, came the announcement of Dr. Pearsons' gift, which, with the equal sum upon whose contribution the original gift depended, amounted to S200,000, includ- ing the Scoville Hall gift. Who that attended those Commencement exercises will ever forget the whole-souled enthusiasm which colored the whole proceedings, the pleased faces of Trustees and Faculty, in spite of their effort to look unconscious. If ever a college was loyal and solid, it was just at the time of this great crisis in our history. The next year witnessed an almost equally enthusiastic and literally cheery Commencement, at which gifts were announced aggregating SI20,000. The last three years have been more productive in certain lines to the College than any other period of ten times its length. For in this period the endowment has been more than doubled, the Academy has been quartered in a building admittedly the finest of itskind in the lVest, and a Chapel is awaiting only the approach of warmer weather for its comple- tion. As to the latter, the plans show it to be admirably adapted to the purposes not only ofthe College as a body, but, by an ingenious arrangement of partitions, quarters have been arranged for the College Y. M, C. A., etc. The exterior shows a graceful Early English structure of gray limestone, with a tower in which is to be placed the clock now in the First Congregational steeple. It will be a 'structure of which any college' might be proud, and such as no Vlfestern institution now possesses. just on the heels of this comes the announce- ment that a friend has given us a dormitory building, which will be begun early in spring and be ready for occupancy in the fall. It will be of red pressed brick and will occupy the site of the old janitor's place, facing east. The structure will be 126 feet by 40 feet, four stories, with accommodations for about seventy men. The lower floor will contain dining-room, parlors, etc. Through the centre, in north and south and east and west directions, run fire- 40 walls. Every room is so placed as to receive its half-day of sunshine. A furnace will do most of the heating. The interior is to be finished in red oak. As a means of heightening the attractiveness of student life, as well as increasing the attendance, the gift was a most timely one. The donor is known only to President Eaton, upon whom an injunction of secrecy is placed. The Science Hall is by no means abandoned, even temporarily, The Trustees are working upon the scheme and may have something to report at any time. The idea is a large one, larger probably than any college of Beloit's size has ever undertaken, but it will certainly be carried out before a great while. The plans, by the way, were in the hands of Chief Architect Root, of the World's Exposition in Chicago, at the time of his death. I . The Athletic Park, of sixteen acres, purchased last fall by College and students, will greatly aid development in that important line. As regards numbers, in 1854 the whole institution contained 115 students. In 1879 there were 142. In 1891 the College alone contains as many as the former number, while College and Academy enroll more than twice as many as they did twelve years ago, or about 35o. In 1881 but three were catalogued from Chicago, and none from Milwaukee. By the last edition we have thirty from the former and seven from the latter. The roll of alumni, numbering about 4oo, shows about 17 per cent. of Chicago men, a fact which augurs well for representation from that city in the future. The new catalogue partakes of the general advance in many ways, but chieiiy in the matter of the curricula. The courses of study are entirely re-arranged, with opportunities for pursuing certain lines much farther than before, and with a much wider system of electives. I-Iow many of us know that the present chemical laboratory was built in 1868 for a dormitory, and was used as such for years? Do you suppose that Middle College was always as you see it to-day? Fancy it, if you can, minus the fourth, or mansard, story, cupola, etc., as well as the portico in front, for all this iinery is an 1880 supplement to the 1847 original. Did any one ever tell you that the pigs were kept out of the Campus clover by a homely, brown fence till about a dozen years ago ? Or that till one year later the boys had to go to prayers at 7 :go in the morning as well,as at 5:10 in the evening? Ye Club- men, do you know of the fierce battles waged by your ancestors over the question, Resolved, That we have coffee for breakfast ? And that the minority report took the form of secession and formation of a second club? These are all things of the past, yet they may serve to emphasize our present condition. X 41 The Board of Trustees is coming to be more and more composed of practical busi- ness men of experience in large interests. At the last meeting, Mr. A. C. Bartlett, of the great Chicago Erin of Hibbard, Spencer, and Bartlett, was elected to till a vacancy. Eight of the Board are Chicago men, who, with Mr. Story, of Milwaukee, hold a monthly supper at the Union League Club, at which the interests and condition of the College are fully discussed. The Faculty are known and honored in their several branches by their fellows all over the country, and, personally, by all. Methods of instruction have changed gradually with the introduction of the laboratory system of the sciences into other branches, the freer use of books of reference and of the library as a whole being recognized as very important. As to the students themselves, a constantly broader, more enterprising tone has been developing. Much that is novel has been attempted and older traditions revived of late. Athletics are beginning to take their proper share in college life, the nine being on a nrm basis and the eleven being quite successful, though rather a youthful venture. Under good management the latter will give Beloit a good rank in the athletic world. Another feature, of about the same age, is the development of musical interests. At various times there have been glee clubs, octettes, quartettes, etc., but never in good condition nor with definite aims till the Hrst annual tour in '89, at which time the Banjo Club made its first appearance. In these, and divers other ways, have we progressed during the last few years. Few educational institutions of the country can show as great relative development in the same period. The respect and regard of the country at large for the College are constantly growing. As Beloit's graduates come to be known and appreciated, so is Alma Maier' constantly rising in the esteem of the people. Are the conditions of true prosperity here present? If not here, where? V The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Prof. Wliitiiey for a large share of the data upon which this article is based, also to President Eaton and others. A list of references upon these matters will be found at the .end of the history of the College in '9o's CODEX.

Learn from this simple occurrence the moral, that very great things frequently have small beginnings. So shall the wise father often be heard instructing his children from incidents in the history of the Class of Ninety-one. We did not, upon entering college, tinge everything green, many of us had mingled more or less in the fray while still Preps. Already each man had clearly felt the tremendous- responsibility for the right bringing up of the Sophomores. Thus were our early days sobered by these great and solemn thoughts, and it is only in our later years that our natural gaiety has asserted itself Qthrowing rubbers, etc.j. Instead of waiting till Junior year, our literary qualities appeared at once, and in our first term Freshman We and Homer gave to the world a modest volume which all the great libraries hastened to place upon their shelves Qback rowj, and which we confidently believe at this moment adorns the Executive Mansion of this country fbook-case? waste-basket?l. The reviewer, as a preliminary, sent the book down to the Zoological laboratory, where a most interesting scientific discovery was made. A number of seven-footed hexaineters were found. Although these animals do occasionally limp a little, they will be found, on the whole, to be very serviceable saddle-horses. The class still have a number for sale at their stables. In our Sophomore year we still pursued our classic studies, at the same time faith- fully throwing water and eating pies in the laboratory. The popular drama of Alcestis was placed upon the boards, and we filled a delightful engagement of one june afternoon at the First Stone Quarry. The nymphs kindly consented to leave the High School and act as audience. The week before junior Ex. was spent in examining into the internal structure of the church and in other acts of vigilance, consequently guns and flour-barrels played no part in the programme. But there was one thing which was not square. The juniors plagiarized some of the exquisite sentiments in the mocks and published them in the Free Press on the day before the exhibition. However, that grieved the Sophs., so that those juniors were obliged to confess and publish the names of the Sophomores to whom the-. true credit belonged. ' Feeling some relaxation necessary from our deep and tireless study, we ended our Junior year with a picnic at Big Hill. The features of the day were the dinner, and the ball- game in the afternoon between the two divisions of the class. Tommy umpired the latter. 46 formula the path of every ball that left the It is generally suppose pitcher's hand, at any rate it was mightily well umpired. About the class ball-games-well, it is too much work to look them up, but my ' 1 s victorious, and I am sure that our football and eneral impression is that we were a way in every contest they entered. f lighting upon the world Ericket teams and our crew won This year we are bending all our energies to the problem o D next June in a graceful and dignified manner. There are now twenty-one in the class, two of our original number have joined '92, two are in law, one in business, one at Johns Hopkins, and one is married, three have joined us from '9o. After all, much the pleasantest part of a college course is that which is unwritable. Anything which may be dignified by the name of an event is but a mere point about which are crystallized the memories of innumerable good times, many of them perhaps floating in the air of a college song, and many crowded about the old recitation-rooms. One by one the bands which have held us for four years are dropping off. We have figured for the last time in the front of the catalogue funtil we get on the Facultyj. Now we must, with sadness, make our last bow in the CODEX. May the CODEX become so firmly established that it shall be believed to be a function of the annual revolution of the and may it have many such classes as Ninety-one to adorn its pages. f- iq N 65355 fX d that he calculated by earth, mWWWmm f . 1 -u7nula.WM'mf'wum 'WM X S - , . .E '11 ' 'ir , ii z 161.1 1 i, fx: l O 'mi 'A 1 - ... x I l jgffyfi 1 I U ! - ' ,2?:f 4 ff 1 ' , X l il 'Z LW .l'tW frllffl,frt vi , , Mill lf, ' will H.

As Senior Preps. we manifested that FQ Ei A spirit of enterprise which has appeared at sundry times since then, by threatening to carry off a big granite bowlder Cwt. 3 tonsj which the valiant men of '88, with the aid of a team of horses, had worked two days and one night, more or less, to drag to the Campus as their monument. In the fall of '88 two score of students plus one, ranging in height from 4 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 3 inches, knocked at the door of Alma Maier' for admittance. Some were taken and others were left, but in all there were thirty-eight fortunates. We were the largest class that had ever entered college. Our numbers have since diminished. Strange to say, the longest men in the class did not stay long, but, if you read '92 backwards, you will still see that'we are the largest Junior class in the history of the College and Me only dass of ,Q2 that ever entered college. One of the first events, and one of the pleasantest, in our Freshman year was the reception at President Eaton's, where we all made the acquaintance of '92, which has since ripened into friendship and love. VVe first distinguished ourselves in the arena of athletics by Winning the championship in the inter-class ball games in our Freshman year. We have since maintained this record, as shown by the number of ,92 men on the last football eleven Crnore than halfj, and in the ball nine. After Christmas had passed and New Years had chronicled the addition of a year to our experience, we concluded that we were old enough and good enough to have a banquet. The arrangements were made, including necessary precautions against Sophomoric depreda- tions. A happy crowd met around the festive board and jollity reigned supreme. Several 100 doses 51.00 X54 literary gems were the product of the occasion. The ties of friendship were closely knit. In fact, '92, whose handsome face fsee class crestj, has beamed with pride on all the pro- grammes in which the class has appeared before the public, made a conquest of the heart of every one of us, and, although some of our members have dropped out and goneinto business, or have become students at other colleges and there add to the lustre of '92's fame, not one has married, all remain single and true to their first love, '92-the world's fair. The days and weeks came and went quietly, the men of ,92 were steadily growing mentally and physically, iield-day added to our laurels5 the class relay was won by our four selected men, and a larger percentage of other contests were won by us than by any other class. ' The summer came and the partings were said, some were not to return in the fall, but additions came, so that thirty-one donned the Sophomore red. This was to be the most event- ful term in our history. One event followed close on another. We were early burdened with our responsibility in the training of the incoming Fresh- man Class5 we were proud of the success we had attained in the Freshman Class of the year before, and commenced a mild course with '93. Posters, with 'gzis great red seal affixed, proclaimed the law and created awe in the hearts of those who had the proper idea of Sopho- more greatness5 in others, vengeful ire was aroused andinsubordination appeared, which was quickly squelclied. W'hile thus engaged in fulnlling our duty to our under-classnien, plans were being made to celebrate the successful tinishing of analytics. The Professor must have been puzzled at our recitations. Flunks ceased, Class pride was an added incentive. The appointed night came, and, clad in robes de 7zzzz'z', Hitting iigureswere to be seen gathering on the west side. As the town clock in stentorian tones slowly counted the hour of T2 a procession of silent, white-clad ngures, led by a band and six bearers,swith a coffin, contain- ing the corpse, borne on their shoulders, solemnly and majestically filed through Bridge Street. Not a sound was heard except the slow, sad music of a dirge, to which the spooky crowd kept step. The sight struck consternation into the hearts of many. Some thought Gabriel had come, others, with guilty consciences, thought the White Caps were going to call on them to answer for their guilt. All were puzzled until the papers next day came out with glowing accounts. After visiting the homes of those interested in the deceased, the proces- sion resorted to the Campus, where a funeral pyre had been made, and then, as above the 55 oaks the moon was slowly drifting, and the river sang below, the class gave vent to their long pent-up grief in heart-rending sobs, and the choir sang in tender notes: Go tell our Tommy Anna Lytic 's dead. As the parabolic and hyperbolic expressions gradually faded from her face and her flesh returned to the mathematical dust of which she was made, the funeral oration was spoken, and her spirit was wafted to the great beyond by the rhythmic flow of Ball's poem. We then repaired to Vale's for a spread and to speculate on our prospects for getting through the examination. The next class event, and one which will be cherished in our memory, was the presentation of the Greek play Antigone at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Pearson. Thanks to Prof. Wright's assistance, the thirty young ladies who witnessed it were charmed with the rendi- tion of the play, and-shall I say,it-were near the fate that befell the class atits nrst banquet. By the time '91's Junior Ex. came our reputation was such that they didn't know what not to expect. They commenced early to write their lorations, and one practiced while the others were stationed in different parts of the church beating tin pans, ringing dinner bells, reciting their own orations, and making affzer umnelodious noises, so that they would not get rattled if something should happen. It is rumored that one of them slept in the church for two weeks, and the night before the exhibition hourly rounds were made with a lantern fwhich they had borrowed, and were so rattled that they forgot to return,j from cellar to tower. While sympathizing with the class and sz'7'z'zfz'fzg Z0 allay fbeirfearr '92 could not but be amused at their terror. Thanks to our iniiuence, their jr. Ex. was a success. Ninety-two's last and crowning act of glory is represented in the Comix, Vol. II. The committee to consider the matter was appointed January 13, 1890, and now, after many trying difficulties, this is the result. Since january 13, 1890, our attention has been on the CODEX, and the remainder of our history is principally its history. However, a few things have happened. ,Field-day again recorded our victories, and the literary prizes awarded at Commencement assured us that we didn't have the big head for nothing. During the summer two of our number went abroad to plant the great, red seal, which had adorned the stage at our Zhreeii Archaean debates, on some Alpine peak, where it should proclaim our greatness unmolested. 2: This breaks the record. Usually only two a year. 56 Our Iunior Ex. was a success, and we maintained our reputation for thoroughness at the spread at Prof. Whitney's after it. We have had a history, as a class, which has been characterized by thoroughness and enthusiasm in class matters. We have been true to our motto, but, if not ready to dance, HISTORIAN.

OULD that custom complied with this universally-recognized principle, or, if the XZQSZ risk of underrating a body of men must be taken, that usage would allow some disinterested person to proclaim to the World the glorious achievements of this still more glorious class. It must, then, be borne in mind that modesty forbids justice being done by one of our number to the many illustrious events of our career and traits of our composite character. On the evening of September roth, 1889, we took our places in Chapel as college men for the lirst time, 33 strong, though not as strangers, having received but three recruits from outside sources. As we sat there, 4,636 pounds of incarnate manhood, measuring 182 feet in height, and representing 655 years, 2 months and 16 days of life, we were indeed an addition to the College. We busied ourselves in acquiring the habits of men, until one afternoon, about the middle of November, after carefully explaining the meaning of the word 'fFreshman, President Eaton informed us that we were at last full-fledged mera. , That fall there were inter-class ball-games. Following the example furnished by our superiors, we made a grand rush for the fourth place, which, at last, We indisputably held. On November zd, the natives were astonished to see, pasted in every conspicuous place, red posters, containing, it is reported, a warning to the Freshmen in regard to the use of canes. We never once stooped, in our Freshman dignity, even to read these products of Sophomoric degradation. Shortly afterward, three Sophs., in attempting to carry out their threats, received, according to a junior, who acted as referee, a sound thrashing at the hands of a single Freshman? From that time we were the acknowledged masters of the situation. r During the winter term, Dame Rumor began whispering that the Freshmen were to 40933 dream. See referee for particulars. 64 have a banquet. The Sophs., smarting under their recent failure to run the class, said that this ought not, must not, should not, be. Here, again, we vanquished them, holding our banquet one week previous to theirs-ahead of them, as usual.i' They, realizing that revenge is sweet, leftius to our happy selves. Space will not permit even the enumeration of the many varied exploits of the class during the tirst summer vacation. Suffice it to say that we returned, eight less than the previous year, covered with glory, to fill our positions under the red banner. As in the past, there were inter-class ball-games. Here, too, we showed our indomitable power, by winning every game in which we participatedjg This term we lost 0. dear friend, who had, by degrees, entwined -herself into the lives of us all. On the night of November 5th, the remains of Anna Lytics were consigned to the bed of the beautiful Rock. While we were yet mourning, some nocturnal prowlers- report says they were wily juniors and green Freshies-thought to get the better of us, by posting fraudulent notices. It took but our emphatic denunciation so to inspire the mis- creants with awe that they slunk off in silence. ' Although history never repeats itself, yet the past is the indication of the future. In consequence of this, Victor Hugo, looking for some grand, ennobling theme upon which to write, could End none grander, none broader, more pleasing or ennobling than '93. Congress, after due deliberation, decided to hold the World's Fair, not in the vicinity of Yale or Harvard, but in the large city near Beloit. Notwithstanding that 1892 islthe anniversary of the discovery 'of our continent, yet, knowing that a greater event would occur in 1893, they decided to celebrate our graduation by holding, during the summer months, the World's Columbian Exhibition. In years to come, the Class of ,93 of Beloit College will show to Congress, and to the world at large, that no mistake was made.

For what bushel can hide so bright alight? But lest some green-eyed Sophomore or infantile Prep. may try to besmear the white sheet on which our name and fame will be carried to all future genera- tions, we will try to relate a few of the deeds of '94. Only three of our present class entered the Academy as Junior Preps. What the rest have missed! That year the class did little else but learn the ways of the school. We lay low, studied hard and established our reputation for excellent classawork. Yet, even then, we won the base-ball pennant from all the rest of Preps. and College? But in the Middle Prep. year our indomitable spirit showed itself, and our name was heard throughout the land. Gur yell echoed from shore to shore, from Dan to Beersheba, from next week to Fourth of july. And then those flag-contests, how the Senior Preps. did exert them- selves and how cheap they did feel when they saw all their efforts come to naught. Their colors, so nicely sewed andlplanted on the First Congregational Church, and that shirt that was raised over Chapel, were not destined to be seen by the eyes of the public, but were quickly captured and placed among our class trophies. But with sorrow we relate the naughty thing we did at the end of that year. That banquet deal-oh, how could we have been so bad! All calm and serene the procession filed down the street. The toast-master, gay and festive, led the host' just as one of them was telling the joke of Moses when the light went out, a band of marauders fell on them with much slaughter and carried off the orchestra to practice his little piece in the inspiring presence of a woody grove, and laugh at his own bright jokes, which the mountains and little hills echoed and re-echoed in solemn loneliness. As Senior Preps., we had everything our own way. Iunta didn't suit us, so we estab- lished a literary society to our own liking. We published a class paper-the only one in Beloit's career. Few classes can show such Prep. credentials as ours. We were never beaten in any class garnet We graduated the youngest student in the history of the Academy. tTemporary aberration of the memory. T,-knotliei' temporary aberration. '74 We were the first class to graduate from Scoville Hall. We were the first class to enter enough men into college to raise its number to one hundred. What class ever thought of a banquet such as we had? What class, having paraded the streets, so that even the sidewalks testified the fact, ended the festivities, just as Apollo drove his chariot over the eastern hori- zon, by a social game, munching cookies from a neighboring larder? What secrets that night hid no one but those initiated will ever know. We entered college all ready to win fresh laurels. The Iirst thing we did to achieve fame was to wear those green sashes to the reception at President Eaton's Then, when we came to raise S for the Athletic Park, our committee reported more than any other two classes.ji Then we beat the great '9z's in base ball. The night of our matriculation we gave vent to our cramped spirits. What if certain small Preps. did steal our tar-barrels? Didn't we steal N. C. kindling-wood and have a rousing old fire? There is no telling what we would have done that night, if some people hadn't shut down on us in that class meeting. Some one was too old, and some one else didn't like tin horns, and so we promised not to do any- thing rash. But the green Hag went up on Middle College just the same. One fine Wednesday evening, at rhetoricals, a Senior was going to roast the Fresh- men and sweep them out of existence and out of memory by a scathing, keen philippic, but -he didn't. Sir rezzzper all those who try to abuse '94. The morals of the Sophs. haven't changed from last year, but, when those coal-boxes appeared in Middle College, one of that valiant and mighty class was going to put our whole class into one of them and keep us there over night. It was too had for him that the instructor didn't come on time that day. We made it a realm' day for him. ' Hallowe'en was a comedy of errors all around. It was the biggest joke on '93, though- to go up and take down the Juniors' flag, thinking it was ours and leave our skeleton up there to proclaim their shame. We think that the blackboards in the mathematical room will rest in peace now. It turned out to be a z'rczgm'y of errors for some. And so, with only one or two loose screws, we roll along very nicely. We don't shine very brightly in Beloit Society, the Sophomores do. One of them took a young lady out riding and the horse lay down and went to sleep and broke the shafts while he was doing something else. Ab zum ziisce owner. Well, good-bye. Will meet you later.

' V f xsf 2-' 85 Alethean Society Q OR thirty-two years eloquence has been nurtured and forensic ability cultivated under Q- the shadow of the Alethean roof-tree. An account of the origin of the Society will be found in the last volume of the CODEX, together with its history to the time of issue. It only remains for the historian of the present to record the subsequent events, and to set down the result of further delving in the records of the past as preserved in the bright, hopeful, flourished, Freshman handwriting of a generation of secretaries. These old, historical volumes are full ofjnterest. Let us here emphasize that fact, that future historians may not shrink from the task of searching there to complete the con- nected record already begun. . Going back to the very beginning of the Society, we find that Mr. H. R. Hobart was chairman of the Division No. 2 which met after the adjournment of the Archzean meet- ing in which division was effected. Eight weeks were consumed in finding a ntting name for the Society, but when the. choice was Hnally made, it justified the delay. No one need be ashamed to sail under the name Alethean. It was characteristic of the spirit and aim of the Society that the first question discussed after the adoption of the new name was, That eloquence has a better Held in the pulpit than at the bar. It is especially interesting to note the action of the Society during the war. All the questions which then agitated the public mind are to be found upon its records. In April, 1861, we find the Hrst discussion of a question which has grown exceedingly stale since then, and adorns more than one page of the dusty, old books, concerning the tariff then recently imposedj and again in 1865, they resolved, That now the war is over, high tariffs should be reduced, opening the way as soon as may be to free trade. In 1860, the Society adjourned one evening to hear an anti-slavery lecture by the veteran joshua R. Giddings. Questions bearing directly upon the great conflict then waging may be found in great abundance. In September, of 1860, for example, the Aletheans discussed the question, That the people of the State of Wisconsin ought to sustain the decision of the State Supreme Court, regarding the unconstitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Law, by not 86 observingit or permitting it to be observed in the state, aquestion which, adds the Secretary fjudge S. D. Hastings, of Green Bay, who thus even then showed the judicial bent of his mindj, was rightly decided in favor of the negative. At this same meeting a resolution was adopted, which is still in force, directing that the meetings of the Society should be opened with prayer. It has ever been the case that the great questions of the day have been settled by the Aletheans with an alacrity that must have been the envy of the statesmen charged with the destinies of the nation. As early as September, 1861, they decided, That the speediest way to terminate the present coniiict would be to set the slaves free. At the next meeting the question was, whether or not the Constitution recognized property in slaves. Nearly all the questions at this time were in close connection with the momentous issues of the war, showing how deeply interested were the students in the outcome. And their faith never wavered. Even in the darkest days of '63, we ind them, with true prophetic foresight, con- sidering the proposition, That the seceded states should be admitted back to the Union as conquered territory. Prominent in these discussions were Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, and Missionaries Arthur Smith and H. D. Porter. As we advance in time, we End the state of public opinion, on questions now long settled, mirrored by these debates. As an instance, in IS7I appears the question: l?es0Zwfz', That interference by law with Mormon polygamy is inexpedientf' About the same time was discussed a question which has troubled the mind of the literary societies ever since: That college secret societies should be encouraged. In I872 we first find the Fine Italian hand of Rev. QI. N. Davidson, as Recording Secretary. Among his fellow-workers were Dewey, of Turkey, Works, of Rockford, and Dr. Buckeridge, of this city. On November 15th, 1871, occurred an incident that will be recognized by all members of the Society, past and present: Mr. Swezey rose for information concerning excuses for absence, and gave notice that he would introduce an amendment to the constitution con- cerning absences and H1'lCS.u ,At the Archaean debate of 1878, the first one of which a printed programme is pre- served in the records, Prof. T. L. Wright read the Alethean poem, while Chapin and White- law, in winning the unanimous decision of the judges, set an example which later generations of Aletheans have not been unsuccessful in following. . Since the writing of the account in the last volume of the CODEX much has been done 87 that is worthy the pen of the historian, but our modesty forbids any but the briefest mention. Great improvement has been made in the appearance of the hall, new paper, a general renovation of the whole room, with a decided change for the better in the arrangement of seats, and the addition of new chairs to meet the growing demand of increased membership, all testify to the continued prosperity and vigor of the Society. Several special programmes have been carried out very successfully. In April, '89, appropriate exercises were held to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the Constitution. An interesting session in the early part of last year was the Webster-Hayne meeting, where were presented incidents of that memorable debate, with the causes that led up to it, and the lives and characters of the two great participants. Two other special meetings deserve mention. On the evening of February Ist, 1889, a horrible crime was discovered, and after some judicial delay the Alethean Society was organized into a court of justice to bring the perpetrator to trial. There was a clear case against the culprit, witnesses were not wanting. Shumakerls graphic description of the tragic saloon scene in Denver, at the corner of First and Second Streets, where he first met the prisoner, still lives in the memory ofjudge and jury, as well as in a tintype from the little car on School Street. It was after I2 o'clock when the jury came in with a verdict of guilty, the prisoner had, meanwhile, profiting by the advice of his counsel, gone home to bed. The other occasion was when, in the fall of l89, the Pan-American Congress met for three successive weeks in Alethean Hall. Mr. Blaine, the distinguished president of the Congress, was much more youthful in appearance than one would have expected, and bore a striking resemblance to Sam. Smith, of the class of '90, and Col. Benson, of Brazil, the accomplished secretary, spoke the Spanish language withamarked McHenry County accent, but in respect to the intimate knowledge displayed of the conditions of commerce, and the resources and prospects of the various countries represented, as well as in the frequent demands made upon the interpreter, the meeting could not have been distinguished from the one at the same time assembled in Washington. Certainly the Alethean Congress finished its work much sooner and at less expense, and perhaps with nearly as important results. The government ofthe Society remains the same as heretofore, with the exception that with increased membership it is no longer found necessary to exact attendance by a penalty, so that lines are now imposed only for non-performance of duty on the programme. Other matters worthy of record we leave for the future historian. LINCOLN B. SMITH, '91, GEORGE E. DICK, '91, SETH W. GREGORY, '93, JAMES BENSON, '93, LOUIS M. REOKHOW, '91 F. S.

It was in December, 1850, Q F that the members of the Archzean Society wisely concluded that literary work would be best promoted by the creation, out of the old, of.the two societies that now exist. Hence to them was transferred allliterary functions, the parent society reserving the manage- ment of all such associated interests as the library and reading-rooms, oratorical contests, Rozzmi Table, etc. The division was effected through the somewhat novel plan of the choosing of sides by two Seniors who represented the respective societies. Until the following year, when it received its permanent classical name of Delian, it was dubbed Society No. I-a title it still deserves. - The Delian oratorical arena, up to the fall of 1880, was limited to a modestly-small rhetorical room. At that time this was deserted for the spacious Assembly Hall, equipped for its especial use, on fourth floor of Middle College, and which it now occupies. Dedica- tion .exercises were held that fall appropriating it to its future worthy service, a service to which it has been consecrated afresh of Friday evenings by the thunder of embryonic ora- tors and Hashing wit of future Zitewzfi. J The men who have come and gone have left substantial memorials of their loyalty and devotion in the shape of handsome engravings or other decorations. Zeus, dressed in the toga of our absent Professor of Greek, still smiles approval from his elevated Olympus above the President's chair. A cherry wall-paper and window-shades add to the attractive- ness, and a hard oil finish gives to the floor an air of fashionable elegance. Several new pieces of furniture have been put in use from time to time as occasion demanded, chairs of late being especially required to accommodate the overliowing membership. Our oracle, Webster's Unabridged, still sits in solemn state under the Secretary's desk, now and then being forced to stalk forth and assert its authority as court of last resort. Literary work goes on with unabated activity. The full quota of debatable questions are weekly disposed of and members kept posted on current news. For variety, novel and entertainingprogrammes areinterspersed. Most notable among such we would mention the 90 proceedings of L l'he House of Lords, of November 8 and 15, 1889. It was a full-dress occasion and in this respect members carried out instructions to the letter. The Tories and Opposition were all arrayed in costumes conformed to their rank, the Irish members in original, incongruous attire of crushed plugs, moss whiskers,'clay pipes, even supplemented by a bishop's surplice. The vigorous rappings of Prime Minister Matheson and the very sublime presence of Queen Victoria, 7Z66rI3.CkSOl1, hardly sufliced to restrain the excitement of the honorable lords or the hilarious applause of lady and gentleman visitors in the lobby. Notwithstanding the supreme eiforts of the Opposition, that Hckle Irish contingent bolted and the vote of censure was not sustained. A flash-light photograph hangs in many a student's room and brings up the memories of a very successful and delightful entertainment. Considering the abundant musical talent, it is not remarkable that vocal and instru- mental music is made a prominent feature. The enterprise of a committee and the willing assistance of all the members have gained for the Society a most unexpected boon-a beau- tiful new upright Kimball piano. And now the nocturnes and symphonies that, under the skillful touch of such musicians as Mr. Albert Meinhardt, Hoat through Beloit's classic halls seem to convert them into a veritable conservatory of music. The Delian now possesses a large membership and every equipment for carrying on vigorous work. It aims to develop ready, cogent thinkers, and to acquaint them with par- liamentary forms, a knowledge so essential to men destined to preside over interests of Church and State. It is a faithful exponent of the best intellectual life of the College, and ever continues true to its mission of supplying some of those finishing touches that aid Beloit to produce, as she has continuously done, the highest types of cultivated manhood.

As early as 1849, two years after the corner-stone of Middle College was laid, a Missionary Society was formed among the students. The pioneer oliicers were Stephen D. Peet, President, and L. M. Darling, Secretary and Treasurer. The objects of this organization were much like those of a modern college Christian Association. The advance- ment of the general religious life of the student body was looked after, yet there was a marked distinction: Missions, especially foreign missions, were made the leading topics of thought and prayer. The glorious fruits of those meetings can be seen to-day in practical, helpful missions in Turkey, China, japan, Mexico, and the newer portions of our own land, where loyal sons of Beloit College are sowing seed and bringing in abundant harvests. Some years ago the Missionary Society was merged into a regular Young Men's Christian Association. The executive department of this organization is vested in a Board of six Directors-composed of a Chairman and one member from each College class and two members from the Academy-a Recording Secretary, a Corresponding Secretary and a Treasurer, all chosen by ballot of active members. The Membership, Devotional, and Mis- sionary are the standing committees. Special committees, as -Social and Sunday School, are appointed at the will of the Society. ' . A brief account of the events of an Association year will best set forth the work of the body. At the beginning of the school year a committee meets the new students at the trainsfassists them to find rooms and boarding places, and requests them to consider the matter of joining the Associationp A Hand Book, containing much valuable information to the new man, is also published and generally distributed by the Association. Soon after the opening of the term the Social Committee hold a reception, to which all students of both College and Academy are most cordially urged to come, President and Mrs. Eaton very kindly throwing open their beautiful home on that occasion. In that way the new and old students quickly become acquainted. H 103 Three weekly prayer-meetings are regularly held, Sunday morning, Tuesday evening and Friday evening, The Devotional Committee secures leaders for these. On the First Tuesday of each month a special missionary meeting is held, in charge of the Missionary Committee. ' - A number of Sunday Schools, in the school-houses in the country about the city, are conducted by the Sunday School Committee. The Employment Bureau has become an important feature Ot' association work in the past two years. Students desiring work for Saturdays and spare time obtain it easily through this practical means. District and State Conventions are regularly attended by delegations of active mem- bers. Beloit has also been represented at the gatherings at Northfield, Mass., and at Lake Geneva. The Beloit Association, next year, will have serviceable and beautiful quarters, includ- ing parlors and meeting-room, in the handsome new Chapel now in course of erection. The Association has great reason to rejoice in that knowledge, which should spur every member on to still more practical and earnest Christian living and working. Let each member recol- lect that the Beloit College Y. M. C. A. has a grand record to keep up! The membership is 138, of whom 121 are active members. The oflicers of the Asso- ciation for the year are: 1. BOARD RUSSELL J. C. STRONG, - Chairman and member from Senior Class. CHARLES E. PEET, - - - Member from Junior Class. EDGAR C. XVHEELER, Member from Sophomore Class. ARTHUR E. FRASER, - Member from Freshman Class. AUGUSTUS ADAMS, - W. S. FRASER, - Members from Acaclemy. ROBERT W, ROGERS, G. L.

K 105 Junta Literary Society i i HE junta Literary Society of the Academy was organized in the spring term of the , year 1871. Previous to that time there were two societies, the Philagorean and the S Adelphiang but as neither, owing to their limited membership, had the activity and spirit necessary for the maintenance of an interesting and prohtable society, they consoli- dated under the above name, suggested by Prof. Blaisclell. There have been but two ruptures in tl1e Society since its inception. In the spring term of 1886 the Adelphian was formed, and in the winter of 1889 the class of 790 withdrew and organized the Senate, each, however, died a premature death, leaving the star of Junta shining even more brightly than before. The Society holds its meetings in large and commodious quarters, planned specially for its use, in Scoville Hall. The important questions of ihe day are here debated by tl1e Academites every Friday evening, from seven o'clock until nine. . The roll records eighty members. With this handsome number, its pleasant apart- ments, and the individual interest manifested by each member, the Society is without doubt experiencing some of the brightest days of its history.

The blazing light of torches here is shed I But midnight, like a pall, hangs all around, And the black and vaulted heaven overhead Dark shadows all our souls with gloom profound Thus templed is our Woe. Ye who have known The dead, to this her j oyless shrine draw near. If scanty love you showed her, now bemoan 5 With sadness come, remorseful to her bier. Here to the dead we pay lastlmournful rites, While yet the lurid flame consumes the pyre,- While burns her corse, that she may ne'er return, But trembling go to face dark Pluto's ire. What now is her condition ? For we hope Conditions all are hers-that we have none 9 And may grim Charon pass her with them allg May she not roam the hither shore alone. In quiet rest her ashes. May she not With ghostly visitation scare the night, Her shade would make us start with anxious dread- We hope the Smith has nailed her coffin tight. O ghost of the departed, We are sure, For one long night at least, that thou art gone. Grief-stricken, We, with Wails triumphant, mourn That all our reckoning with thee is done. 189 No more will cursings fill our afternoons g And no more cranunings for exam. to-clay 5 No more thy Irowning Visage in our dreams- These all are past, to come no more, we pray. But why was thy demise ? We fain would know. Give us, we pray, some sign.-Was that the sign And what was that ? Was it infinity, Or Alpha, the professor's own design ? Thou eans't not tell, nor ever shall we know If thou, perchance hast found that point remote That place that must be veiled in ghostly gloom, Where the hyperbola meets the asyrnptote. And now farewell, a tearful last farewell. Thy spirit nears the edge of Aeheron's Hood. We wish thee safely over, in two points Goinciclent, stuck in Hades' clinging mud. 1 190 ,H-mwfiffmffw, 'gf 2 .I -F' - ?l q I I- A ' bln' .. 26 . - Nl 2.5512 f' F-Tqfr IM F71 A53 Rf ff!! 5, ij 3 1 ' '1 ll, M lx 2 S H fa ,, ' ,.- g,..

In the iitful la.mplight's glow, And searched hismind for the vision fair Of his old-time friend Amo. And he sat, and he sat, and he sat. He dozed as the mesh of a fairie's wand Seemed spreading his senses o'er, And loosed was sorrow's and trouble's bond, And he seemed to be free once more. He dreamed that the web of the fairies net, To raven tresses had turned g And open and true was the gaze he met From those eyes in which love burned. . And he dreamed, and he dreamed, and he dreamed He sighed when he woke from his dreams at last, For the vision of love had flown, The light burned dim as the night-wind passed With a chilling and solemn moan. And he sighed, and he sighed, and he sighed. He flunked, in the morn, for his mind was a-whirl, And shrank from the teacher's look, And he wished that he never had seen that girl, But much more the hateful book.

But our especial renown has been. won since we entered College and donned the Freshman green. The first honors were won, in the fall of '88, on the diamond, when, by successively defeating the nines of the three upper classes, we obtained the base-ball championship. Ah, those were halcyon days, when, after each victory our love feasts were held, when the air resounded with our cries of Wa-hoo, Nine-ty-two, or when each of our heroes went forth to renewed victory, basking in the ever-encouraging smiles of his classmates. The Christmas season came, with it came Santa Claus, and Santa Claus, in response to repeated requests, deigned to favor one of the members of our class with-an idea, viz., to hold a class banquet. Secretly and stealthily our preparations were made for a Freshman banquet. It was as bold a scheme as it was novel. The upper-classmen had been remark- ably conservative in the matter of class banquets. They had seldom, if ever, undertaken any such affair, and we rightly had some misgivings as to whether they would allow us to hold a banquet, if they could help it. Then, too, we had been annoyed several times during the fall by the Senior Preps, who were disposed to make mischief whenever an opportunity was given. But these feelings of danger only made us more ambitious to hold our banquet, and more cautious in our preparations. On the eventful evening we assigned eight of our stoutest athletes to police duty, a wise precaution, for, ere the evening was over, they had saved from the hands of the enemy our class-ofhcers, our speakers and, last but not least, our eatables. And such abanquet as it was! Afeast of mirth, reason, and substance. How firmly the ties of friendship were knit that night only he who is familiar with our history since can tell. After our banquet, which was one of the brightest of our Red-Letter Days, we enjoyed a season of quiet, busy, happy days until Iune, and with June the annual College Field-Day came. This was another Red-Letter Day, for our class won more than a third of all the prizes given on that day, and once more the class united in praises for our athletes 202 The year was done! The olive-tints which had been proudly borne by our class in all our contests, and which had inspired our daily doings of every sort as well, had led us not only as a banner of peace, but also as a glorious ensign of victory. Through our Soph- omore year red, as our class-color, lent its brightness to our every deed. Just as this color is bent least out of its course in the solar-spectrum QGanot's Physics, p. 535, by per.j, so the class pursued the even tenor of its way, unmoved by the flickering lights and shades in the College world around us. It was in November that cremation ceremonies were held by the class over our 'fAnna Lytics, and the scene was one long to be remembered. It was a calm and beauti- ful night, and when the good townspeople were awakened from their sweet slumbers to hear one of the most mournful of dirges, and to see our uniformed band of sad mourners slowly wending its way to the spot where the last sad rites were to be performed, they were vividly impressed, and must have realized more forcibly than ever that dust to dust returneth as surely as night time follows day. But the remembrance of that night will -be borne longest by us who gathered round the altar to participate in those solemn and awe- inspiring ceremonies 3 for, as We joined our voices in songs of tribute to the departed, and as we listened, with uncovered heads, to the soul-stirring eulogy, the scene was one that will linger long in our memory. Not many days after the cremation ceremonies were held over our mathematical friend, a Freshman, who lay in his bed dreaming of his greatness-past, present and future -was rather rudely aroused from his slumbers by a class-mate who said: John, John, get up! The Sophs. have challenged us to a cane-rush. No, it was not exactly that, dear Freshie, but it was something closely akin to it. We, as Sophomores, had, for some time, looked with displeasure on those giddy men in the class of ,Q3 who thought themselves old enough and, worse yet, wise enough to have the privilege, in a college town, of carrying canes whenever they wished. And thus it happened that we determined to lessen the assumed dignity of the Freshmen, by forbidding them to carry canes during the remainder of the college year. As we expected, they stormed and fumed and made all sorts of speeches referring to the Freedom of America and to their own individual right to demean themselves as fhey, and nobody else, saw it, but it all ended in their keeping their canes hidden away for the rest of the year, except, perhaps, on Sundays, when they knew hey would be unmolested. 203 During all these times, in which our class had turned aside from the every-day college-life, and had added several Red-Letter Days to our already crimsoned calendar, our studies received a much larger amount of care and attention f1'Ol'1'1,92 than is usual-with other classes. It surely could have beennothing else than satisfaction with our work that led Prof Wright to propose that we have a Greek play and show amz:-J, as we had shown kim, how much we knew about Greek in general, and the Antigone in particular. The kindness of Prof. Pearson, in placing his house at our disposal during the evening when the drama was performed, and of Prof. Wright, on whom fell the largest share of the work of preparation, deserve acknowledgment in this place. W'e were kindly given permission to invite in our young lady friends to the performance, which, it is needless to say, we were more than glad to do, and the scientific portion of the class kindly consented to entertain them socially while the classicals were busy with the play. I-Iow many of the class blossomed out as Hue society men on that occasion I dare not tell, but the number far exceeded our highest expectations. The young ladies, one and all, vowed they tt fzezzer had had so delightful an evening, and they surely spoke the truth. - Another banquet, the magnificence of which startled the College world, another field- day, on which we again obtained far more than our share of the prizes, another examination period, out of which we came with wings unsinged, and the year was over. Our Junior year has, thus far, bid fair even to outrival its predecessors in noteworthy events. The football team, which, for the first time in our College history, was com- pletely organized, equipped and trained for contest,:was more than half made up from '92 men-an honor which seldom happens to any class in any college. Again and again has our class been carried away in its enthusiasm 'over the fine runs or scientific tackles made by some of the representatives of the classfj Purple has shed its royal hues over the deeds of our class, and how wise was its selection! The red which had led us in all its glory through the preceding year has lost none of its brightness, but, taking on the deep, clear beauty of the sky, has merged our class- color into purple-and how titly! For what can better typify our class-life during these grand days of our junior year than the combination of the fbright, unyielding crimson with the deep, true blue ? And methinks that the publishing of this CODEX-a record of our deeds and the deeds of those 'around us-is a tit keystone to the arch of Red-Letter Days which have contributed so much to the profit and pleasure of the members of the Class of '92.

After much deep thought and profound study, we present the following: Fix both eyes firmly on the fellow whose brofher you wish to become. At first smile at him and never forget to greet him with a pleasant nod. Then speak to him in a jovial manner, a slap on the back or something of that sort would not be amiss. As your friend- ship becomes stronger linger so as to walkihome with him from school, carry his books, work his examples for him, start his tires, laugh at his jokes, take him to shows and treat him to pancakes. Recollect, that this must all come about gradually and with proper tact on your part. You must yield to his every whim and do his every wish until finally you will be so entwined about his Very heart cords that to live without you will be but to perish. B01-. VVhy should you marry ?

' It was real mean of those bad Freshies to put you in the coal-box, for two reasons: 1. It did not show a proper regard for your years and station, 2. It made you, a dignined Soph., appear ridiculous. How can you avenge yourself? Be cautious on two points: Do not use brute force, for that is a relic of barbarism, and do not destroy in any manner the high moral standing of your class. President of '93.

I am undone!

In the spring of 185 7, very few of the students, I think only two or three, failed to enter heartily and with profit into Christian work. The delightful fellowship, the sustained elevation of feeling and purpose, and the profound joy over the ever-developing results of the work of the Spirit of God have never been forgotten by those who participated in it. It is not an agreeable memory only, for I have been told that never, since those days, has the .spiritual condition ofthe College descended to the level it occupied before this remarkable awakening. For a year or more most of the essays and orations were upon religious subjects, and for two years College escapades of every sort entirely ceased. CHAS. COTTON KIMBALL, of '59. Qne very pleasant reminiscence of college life with me is that of the class birthday celebrations. I think that our class was the one to start the observance. We met at the room or home of the victim QQ. Sometimes two birthdays might be celebrated together, or even three fafter the long vacationj. We met with, or without, the class girls, according to circumstances. The supper, the poem, oration, delightful converse and new interest in each other made up together a very profitable occasion. I can recommend the moderate observance of such occasions to all the classes. Moderate, for I have a distinct recol- lection of nodding over Butler's Analogy at one, or half-past one, in the morning, after re- turning froni one of these gatherings. G. s. BASCOM, of '66. 232 I entered Beloit College in the spring of 186o, entering the class of 1863. In the spring of 186r, the fatal shot fired at Sumter roused Beloit College in common with 'thee whole North. A company of fifty or sixty students was extemporized and we were drilled every day by a man whose name I forget, who had had some military education. At the after-dinner drill one day, we were told by our drill-master that we could not be dismissed at two o'clock as usual, and were marched about town by a kind of military authority. In addition to my own recitation in the afternoon, I was teaching a class in Arith- metic in the Prep. Dep't., having among others Pres. Chamberlin, of Wis. University, as one of my pupils. On account of the war excitement, I was only privately reprimanded, and allowed to go on with my teaching, but was told that such a thing must not happen again. A few days after this our drill-master, who was anxious to march us away to the war and become our captain, made a speech to us, and ended by asking all of us who would pledge- ourselves to serve three years, if we were accepted, to take three paces forward., I believe I was the only one who did not move, and the would-be captain was quite angry with me, as were some of the students, saying I had broken the charm, etc. Three months more- passed away and then I was one of a very few of that company who enlisted for three years. After four years' absence in the army, I returned and graduated with the class of 1866, Pres. Chamberlin's class. ' I. D. DAVIS, Kyoto, Japan. Lives of Great Men all Remind Us 1 There was a baker's dozen i' in the Class of '69, and it was characterized at its gradu- ation by the Chicago Adwavzre and the New York f7Z!Z76p67Zll7E7Zf as a class of H noble young, rnen3 and it was. The writer of this is one of the survivors-he escaped on a plank. In the twenty-two years since it was chartered and authorized to do business by A. L. Chapin, President, and Dexter Clary, Clerk, but one has died. It might have been better, and pos- sibly have contributed more toward the uplifting of humanity, if that one had lived and the' twelve died, but the twelve took the chances on humanity. . Commencement Day of '69 was a memorable day in the history of the College. That which was sacred to the memory of the boys in blue whose lives went out in the war, and. which had found expression in the walls of Memorial Hall, was dedicated on that day. 233 The Hon. Matt. H. Carpenter delivered the address. He made a memorable speech, but for once he struck the wrong key. He tried to talk religion, and it was a misiit. Matt. has since died. E As the Class of '69 on that, to them, Red-Letter Day, iiled out of the big church, each possessed of a roll of tanned sheepskin, tied with its classic blue ribbon, a distinguished friend of Prof. Blaisdell turned to him and said: Well, Professor, you have practically demonstrated one thing: that you can make a whistle out of a pig's tail. The Professor never told of this until the boys were scattered, so that that honor U never was specifically awarded, and it was needed. There were but two others in the whole class. An Eaton fof course, took one, and Baird the other. But no one envied them, and they both soon fled to a foreign country. As a condition precedent to the building of the aforesaid Memorial Hall, one early morning, when the grass was sufficiently Hdewed to lick the blacking from the boots of the boys, the four College classes respectively were trotted out behind the Faculty to the sunny side of the Indian tomb-yard, and after Dr. Chapin had scoured the spade in breaking and turning the first sod, he passed it around, with proper expression of sentiment, to the other members of the Faculty, and then singled out the heroes from the College classes. Dr. Charles Washington Earle, now of Chicago, was drawn from the class of ,7O. Charlie promptly stepped forward, and after annointing his shapely hands cz Za Ireland, he planted his No. II on the upper crust of the spade, but before his 'tpile-driver fell, Dr. Chapin broke the silence by saying: Dig, Earle! you have dug before. A cheer went up. Earle was the hero of the hour. He was known to be one of that intrepid band who went out of Libby Prison through a Whole in the ground. In removing Libby Prison to Chicago, and reconstructing just as it stood at Starvation Point, in the South, much regret is expressed by the survivors of that escapade that that hole could not also have been brought along. There was but one pair of eye-glasses in the College in those days. Sid Shepard, of '66, could be seen through them at long range. Billy Fitch wore a plug hat. He was 4' very swell. His belts had to be imported. - The first Senior concert was born in '68, Hammond, the Hauburn-crowned,,' spoke it into being. It was a success from the 4' spoke. The class of'69 tried it. The sale of tickets was immense, the class kept out of sight the next day. They had been too Well educated to encourage a riot. 234 College poets were scarce in the '6o's. Dyke Hshimmered and shown in the odorous nighti' till '65. Hendrickson, another, relates an examination experience, with more of truth, perhaps, than poetry. Listen to a strain of his climax: ' u Up from his throne the Judge in anger sprang, His voice like trumpets through the palace rang, Then seized his sword and dealt a deadly blow, Which might full Well have laid a giant low And even tilled a hero with remorse- But lo l he missed the Knight and struck the horse. 4: Porter, of '66. Look upon the face ofthe now demure missionary, and read from his Alethean poem: u Sitting alone upon a rocky seat, A rest for weary, way-Worn souls placed there, A maiden fair I saw. Her glossy hair Tossed back, revealing, at a moment's glance, A face replete with loveliness. In trance I gazed upon that form-i' . u u rc cl Will Bailey, of '69, sung to a Beloit audience about his Prairie Home in Olden Time. Bailey wasn't brought up in the woods, but that poem sent him there. He fled to the West to grow up with the country-and he grew. But he still clings to his idols, and among the Solons in the Senate in the Golden State .he yet dilates upon that hackneyed theme, his H Prairie Home. , Dow followed suit-not to the woods, but consented to be sacrificed at a public Archaean. His theme was more poetic--f'Bones -and he probed the lowest strata for measurements. The poem was published in the College Monihh, by request, in the interests of science. The Bible account of the age of the world has since been called into question. Democracy was at a low ebb then. The smoke of battle and treason still lingered in the air-jim Bass and Tru Curtis about the only ones who openly affiliated, but Jim repented- toed the other way years ago. He is now an evangelist, in Republican sense. The religious element in the College, based upon clerical statistics, as officially cata- logued, was relatively greater then than now. To illustrate, let us chew the string: 235 In the Class of '66, 6 of the 18 were clergymen5 of'67, 6 of the 135 of '68, 2 of the 85 of'69, 5 of the 145 of'7o, II of the 195 of'7i, all of the II preached. Skip a decade, and chew again: In the Class of '81, 4 of the IO were clergymen5 of '82, none 'tclergyed5 of'83, none dittoed5 of '84, 2 of the 155' Of'87, 5 of the 165 of '89, 3 of the 93 of'9o, none yet in sight. As an offset to the above, however, and. an encouraging feature, it is claimed by the fraternity, that the moral tone of the bar, the press and the medical profession, has been sensibly elevated during these later years, and that the Christian culture received at Beloit College has demonstrated the fact through those who have been its partakers, that to be a Christian gentleman and an element of power in the moral world a man need not necessarily preach. The students were poor in those earlier days5 dad's money backed but few. Bicycles, secret societies and club dances were necessarily on the prohibited list. The conditions were not then ripe for dove-tailing either. There were few musicians and fewer musical instruments. Wright, of '69, played an organ Qtogether with his mouth organj, and Bill Wheeler, of '70, hddled. It was a necessity in Bill's case. The problem of power transmission-the unseen agency to be utilized, and how at the supreme moment to so control that it could be brought to a state of rest was even then clamoring for solution5 and William apparently sought to relieve the pressure through the friendly aid of his violin. The boys enjoyed it hugely, and when Bill began to tune, and then struck up one of those productions from the old Masters, Rabbit in the Pea- .patch'f or Chicken in the Bread Tray, he was unanimously voted to be a consoler and benefactor of his race. A Base-ball was born and christened in '66. Aaron Skinner, of '69, proposed the name of Olympians for the College Nine, and it was a go. Aaron was commended for his classic thought, and has long since gone to his reward5 i. e., he is Government Inspector of Stars at the Washington Observatory. John Pfeffer QProfessor of dust and ashesj was ring,-master then. Ten times a day and upwards the faithful john climbed upwards to the Middle College attic to ring the College bell5 but relief was at hand. Hill, of '66, was even then training for his emancipa- tion, and when his thought was ripe he plucked and utilized it. 236 A simple piece of gas-pipe was introduced into the College, uniting the attic with the cellar, and john was happy. He laid aside his ascension robes. That belfry in the sky had no more charms for him. An Alumnus defined, analyzed from first principles, is one who has been nourished -fed-a graduate of a College or other institution of learning. Webster, speaking through a dictionary that Daniel couldn't make, fails to note one element of feed that enters largely into the process. The social element, the culture, the polish, contributed by associa- tion with the 'families which are identified with the life of the College, and notably the younger element-the sweet sixteens and upwards-the daughters who grace those homes. As the eye of many an Alumnus of Beloit College falls upon the above suggestion, that eye or both will moisten and there will come at once to his mind a recollection of the holiest communions of his life, and coupled with it a frank admission of the fact that the wife Beloit furnished him has sensibly aided him in utilizing to the best advantage his liberal College training. And so the efforts of managing mammas, with one eye on the daughter and the other on the coming Alumnus, in the light of past events, should be openly commended. Recall a few. Hill and Chamberlin and Brown, of '66, respectively took unto them- selves Miss Lizzie Rau, ,Miss Alma Wilson and Miss Mandana Bennett. Of '67, the insepar- able Porter and Smith followed suit with the Misses Chapin and Dickenson. Dixon, of'68, married Miss Bertha Wright. Bailey, Dow, Dunning and Thompson, of '69, played a four- handed game, and chose as pardners Miss Frankie Bass, Miss Mary Sherwood, Miss Mary Alexander and Miss Ellen Douglas. And so, successively, there were married Earle, of '7o, to Fannie Bundy, Miller to Mary Hickox, Morgan, of'71, to Belle Merrill, Wilder to Jennie Watson, Bedford, of '73, to Mary Dutcher, Adams, of '73, to Miss Clark, Kidder to Miss Brainard, Swezey to Miss Hill, Hegg, of '74, to Miss Clark, Malone, of '77, to Allie Bennett, Buell, of '78, to Miss Matthews, Dr. Chas. W. Merriman, of'78-not yet, Martin, of'89, to Miss Heffron-later, a daughter, prospectively another element of culture for the coming Alumnus. A Reminiscence is a revival-the process of fanning to a flame embers that have long been smouldering. The above flames which have been revived are but few of those that could be nred from the embers of those College days.

I Professor Porter fWilliam Porter, D. D., Brinsrnade Professor of Latin,Q is again in the old Chapel at early morning prayers, and while we shiver with the cold which Janitor Iohn has left us, the solemn declaration of the good Professor falls upon our ears in the prayer he utters, that our hearts are like a cage of unclean birds, and we all plead guilty. And Prex QAaron L. Chapin, D. D., LL. D.j, still honored and doubly so as President Emeritus, how familiar the ring of one of those exhaustive official prayers when the day was done, and how gratefully fell upon our Zhefz wicked ears its concluding clause, world without end, Amen. I. B. DOW, '69, It was a warm Sunday afternoon in the spring of 775. The students were gathered in the Chapel to listen to a sermon by Prex. The tones of his voice together with the soft air of spring had a soporihc effect on some of his hearers. Particularly was this the case with a member of ,77, who, after various and futile efforts to maintain his dignity, yielded at length and rested his weary head on the seat before him. The sermon proceeded to its close. The closing hymn was announced and sung. Yet amid all the din arising from those vigorous young voices and from the soul of that old organ, scarce ten feet away, our hero 238 . slept peacefully on. The benediction passed over his sleeping head without affecting him in the least. The students passed quietly out and left the young sinner alone with Prex. Then that kind old man came near and spoke gently to the erring one, then louder, then vigorously shook this young Sophomore. I-Ie awoke, he arose, looked over the deserted Chapel, then quietly yielded to the hard logic of fact and followed his honored leader down the aisle wondering how in the Old Nick he fthe young onej could have been left to such afate. A MEMBER OF '77. Twice a Student- When one's college life is divided into two widely separated periods, it is interesting to compare the former of these with the latter. The writer was originally a member of the class of ,75 and graduated with that of '88. A Neither class is a proper subject of discussion, though the former is of rerniniscence. The list of alumni does not do justice to '75. That class had good material and consider- able of it. Bushnell, who afterwards graduated at Yale in the class of'76, and Blaisdell, who died in his senior year, while a member of the corresponding class at Beloit, were the scholars of 175. Truesdell, of Beloit '76, was also a member of ,75. So was Forrest, the well known Chicago attorney, who graduated at Dartmouth. Fuller, another of the boys of 775, died soon after graduating from Yale. I I had better quit writing on this subject or I shall get angry again,-I feel like say- ing mad,--at some in higher classes, whose sinister influence, with divisive and disloyal tendencies, worked down into our class. May a dead hand contribute to the CODEXP A letter now lies open before me. Among its words are these: Prex relented when he saw how bad my father felt, and gave me a letter. Oh, boys, I would not go through with that week again for any money. Please tell Bushnell that I received his kind letter. ' Pain inexpressible may be put into very few words. There was no harshness in the President's action. Who composed the old-time Faculty you can learn by referring to catalogues of former years. Five of its number are still with us. Two have passed away, Professors Bushnell and Eaton. Clear heads both of them had and warm hearts. I remember hearing the former at Sunday afternoon Chapel service, and noting the mathematical cast of his sermons, which used to contain corollaries after the manner of a demonstration in geometry. l l 239 u How some did groan over that afternoon Chapel service ! There were those base enough to insinuate that we who went to afternoon Sunday-schools in the country did so, not out of love for -the work, but merely to escape the f'lecture. The dis- course was always- called a lecture, though I never saw any difference, save perhaps unusually good average quality, between said lectures and sermons of the orthodox pattern. When I came back in January, 1887, the fflecture' was a thing of the past, as was also morning Chapel service., I could not see that the religious interests of the students had been injured. , i One thing that Hlled with its dismalness the years of my absence-and presence also unfortunately-was the abominable old dining-room under North College. Still the Hpie poetry of Thanksgiving, and the good dinners then and at other times, used to make us forget the mold andthe comparative darkness. I had the honor of being one of the wretches who first produced pie poetry. We all desire fame. The North College boarding-club suggests, ofcourse, that other institution, the society which the years have not changed much-the North-College-front-steps society. It has no written constitution, but it holds meetings with a regularity that puts the Alethean and Delian to blushj- Beloit's true parliament meets on the steps of North College, and no man has a full and thorough Beloit training whohas not taken part in a discussion there. Perhaps by contrast North College suggests South College. 'But some Preps and perhaps even some Freshmen won't know what the latter is. It is the laboratory now, it was a dormitory. I know that it was quiet enough once, for I roomed there. But it became so noisy that according to report the rats were seen leaving it one Sunday morning for the Burrall I-Iouse in search of a quiet place in which to spend the Sabbath. I am glad the rats would have to leave the Campus to Hnd the Burrall House now. We of '75 heard Swezey's famous speech, Gymnasium Aedilicandum est. Gymfzrz- simzz aeflyimfzzzzz wi, and we helped in the work. Forget the sorrows of ,75 but don't forget that our Tom Foster won second place in the Inter-state Oratorical Contest. Some pleasant Sunday afternoon when you are, wandering about Beloit's beautiful cemetery you may End a stone with the legend ABNER ALLEN BLAISDELI.. The manliest of us all lies-buried there. I J. N. navtnsoiv. , 240 Listen to Gut Tale of Woe It was midnight, when the cool air of the spring of '84 whistled through the whiskers of the class of '88 as they wended their weary steps to the Sanctum sanctorum of the Rip Van Winkle of their class, Boslough, from Shabonna. As usual, he was asleep. The moon's silvery light guided the button-hook key into the ancient lock, and in a moment the wily Freshmen were in possession of their classmate's room. The lamplighted, we proceeded to the holy of holies, and there lay the famous sleeper, wrapped in his best night-shirt, uncon- scious of all about him. A We bade him come forth into the auditorium of his abode, that he might address us from the bema, dressed in white. Did he hear? Nay, verily, the words were but opiates to him, and produced a sounder slumber. We blew the festive fish-horn, and kept time to its sonorous notes with the most ancient as well as the most famous of all musical instruments- the tin pan. Did this wake him? No, no! He was dreaming of Heaven, and thought he saw the class of '87 marching two by two down the golden streets celebrating, as usual, the return of their black sheep. He mistook the festive horn for Gabriel's, and as he had defied anything to wake him in life, he had determined to sleep it out at any cost. Our attempts failing, the two giants ofthe class lifted his sleeping form from its soft nest and stood it erect on the table at which he was so accustomed to sleep over that lesson of such thrilling inter- est, the famous march of the ten thousand. When he awoke he found himself, supported by the strong arms of his friends, dressed in but one garment, standing on the table before an audience of a dozen men. Only so much time as lightning needs to flash did he stop to think what he should do. One leap brought him to the wood-box, where that famous relic which he won at the Field Day games for his veracity, Washington's little hatchet, lay nestled among some hickory knots. With the former in one hand and the latter in the other hand, he ordered us out. If we cared to ever see our mothers again, we thought it time to retire. Here was a man more invincible than Napoleon! In the daytime he was harmless, and looked like a man who would deem it a sin to kill even a jersey mosquito, but at night his brow was charged with thunder, and the resemblance he bore to a Western cyclone was very striking. That night he weighed a ton! We adjourned to another room to study into the causes of his ruffled spirits. Our conclusion of the subject was, that he was a man of tremendous proportions, especially as regards backbone. The cause of the size of his backbone we attributed to his board, espe- 241 cially the mince-pie that he ate. On further examination, we found his boarding-house to be the College Club. It was then the mind of the assembly that it was hungry. With wonderful assumption as to the strength that still remained in the vitiated forms of the defeated assembly, it voted to attack the unprotected club, in its window of its right side, that it might revive its languishing spirits by some backbone mince-pie. The deed was done! But the pie? It was dried-apple! A REMINISCENCE or OUR '88 Bovs. One of the things that will always be memorable to me in my college life is an event which happened two or three days after I had reached Beloit, and, as a green and timid Fresh- man, found myself in North College Club at a table with numerous and sundry Preps. Soon, however, a dignified Senior from the great class of '87, being moved to pity, probably, by the homesick and woe-begone expression upon the countenance of the aforesaid Freshman, brought the matter before a solemn council of the Senior table, which at that time had one vacant place. As a result of this Senioric council the pitiful Senior approached the pitiable Freshman, and, having told him in the kindest manner how homesick and lonely he looked isolated from his fellow college men among those wily Preps., then made known to him that by a vote of the Senior Class he was duly requested and invited to have asitting at the head fas the Freshman considered it, but the foot most likely in the estimation of the Seniorsj of their table. How that Freshman's heart did leap with joy as he heard this generous request! His homesickness was gone in a moment and in its place came a feeling of elation and pride. He was to sit among Seniors! He was to eat with them, to talk with them! Thus was first instilled into that Freshman's breast the consciousness of what it meant to be a college man. After a sufficient time had elapsed and the Freshman had been duly impressed with Collegiate dignity and Senioric manners and another Senior had come to board at the club, no longer being able to subsist upon Pfefferite diet, after this, the Freshman was gently and politely asked to make way for his superior, and was assigned a place at a conglomerate table of Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors. With quiet grace did the Freshman leave his pleasant place of tutelage, not without regret, but feeling thankful to those Seniors for their kindness and instruction, which helped him ever after amid the vicissitudes of College life and made him look with more of condescension and considerateness, when himself a Senior, upon the under-classmen, especially the Freshmen. Seniors, mind well the influence you may exert upon the untrained and plastic Freshman.

BOOK TRUST KNOCKED OUT A CARD TO THE PUBLIC Some six months ago we began the publication of our reprint of the famous Encyclopaedia Britannica in 25 Volumes, which we issued at SI. 50 per volume. The price of the English edition always has been and still is 358.00 per volume, and the Scribner edition 55.00 per volume in the cheapest binding. ' That the public appreciate so great a bargain is shown by the fact that over half zz :1zil!z'ofz wl1mze.r of this reprint have been sold in less than six months. This elegant new edition we still offer at the same price, 51.50 pw' Zfolmzzc. This is the grcczlar! bmfgzzifz cwr known in books. Better still, we will deliver the set complete on .vfmzll may pzzymefzls, to suit the convenience of customers. Remember, this is not an abridgement, but the great Edinburgh ninth edition, reproduced page for page, with important articles on American subjects rewritten to date by eminent American authors, and new maps, later and better than in any other edition. VVe further announce that we have in preparation three volumes of American Additions and Revisionsf' thoroughly supplementing the original work, NVith these supplemental volumes you will have at small cost an Encyclopaedia fzmzpprozzrkzzblf in 607llf!:f'fL'7lE.l'J',' a thorough digest of the libraries of the world, and a complete record of current progress and events. SPECIAL OFFER.-We claim that our reprint compares favorably with the high-priced editions in every respect, and in respect to maps and strength and beauty of bindings is superior to them. In order that this claim may be tested by a personal inspection we make the following proposition : We will furnish Volume I. at 60 cts.-a fraction of actual cost- if sent by express. Add 40 cts. postage, if wanted by mail. Amount paid for Volume l. will be credited on price of set when ordered.
