Bowdoin College - Bugle Yearbook (Brunswick, ME)

itable, remembering these two facts-that theory of junior ease is now completely exploded, and every college man knows that junior year is one prolonged fight with that inexorable dragon surnamed Youill-be-pouched 5 secondly, that social duties must be at- tended to. We think you will overlook our faults and short-comings when you recollect that for us This is junior year And Bath is very near. We think the 5' slug 'l question has been sufficiently explained to you already. lt has been our steadfast purpose not to make the BUULI5 a vehicle for any of our own personal feelings, but simply to convey as far as we can interpret them the sentiment and opinion of the whole college. Hence if any one discovers one of his own bright remarks anywhere in this book let him not accuse us of wan- ton plagiarism, but attribute it to this purpose. And we have en- deavored, too, to leave all bitterness and disagreeableness out of these pages. If we have not succeeded, it is because we have failed to estimate rightly the degree of each man's sensitiveness. We wish in conclusion to express our most cordial thanks to Mr. NV. F. Allen and others who have so kindly furnished us with cuts, and to all who have so truly helped us out by taking an 't ad. in our BUGLE. - x in A g2Y K 8

Maine are as comfortable and cosy as any college rooms anywhere, and, though this statement may be a trille strong, we feel very com- placent over it. i In the last l3Uc:1.1f: year some changes have taken place in the membership of the Faculty. l'rof. W. C. Lawton, after spending a year with us to our pleasure and profit, accepted a position at Bryn Mawr, and the Winkley chair of Latin Language and Literature is now filled by Prof. W. A. Houghton, who isa thorough scholar and an instructor of great ability. Mr. Wheeler, who was so popular with his classes last year, has also left Bowdoin and Mr. F. 'll Farnsworth has taken his place. The German students are warmly attached to Mr. Farnsworth and regret exceedingly that he is to be here only a year. This, however, does not imply that Mr. Files will not be cordially welcomed on his return. Though the 193 BU1:1.if: did not make its appearance till the base- ball season was practically over, yet it is ours to say that Bowdoin made a creditable showing for a non-ball-playing college. As far as base-ball is concerned, we live in hopes for the future. Certainly prospects for this season are bright, and we hope for the best. ln tennis, too, Bowdoin might have done much worse, and the satisfac- tion of scoring on one who counted his chickens before they were hatched U made up for a defeat or two. But in foot-ball our record was more than creditable. We all take a great deal of pleasure in the fact that we-were not beaten once, and feel that a goodly allow- ance of commendation is due Capt. Carleton for his energy and faithfulness, and is due as well the individual men of the eleven who worked so hard under his able captaincy. As regards changes in the college itself, they are characteristic. Our smoothly running machine has turned out its annual product, and the classes have slid along to make room for that phenomenal aggregation, Ninety-six. Yes, it is a mechanism, but we are feeling material and we miss Ninety-two. It is, of course, our duty to make some remark upon our own production,-this BUGL12. We would merely ask you all to be char- 7
