H 10 publication of T- ' A(;f,ni a marks the be- ginning of a new era in the college life oC Bucknell University. As in all colleges, the students of Bucknell have two curricula; one laid down by the college authorities, and the other by that essential, inevitable spirit of activity and youth, which marks e ery strong and wide-awake college student. In the latter curriculum there may not be so much that speaks of classic lore and scientific won- ders ; but there is that which speaks of the mind relaxed, the muscles in action, and health-bringing mirth and laughter. The authoritative curriculum is explained and commented ui)on in the catalogues, and also the success and victories of students in an intellectual line. It is the jjrovince of the Annual to take up the secondarv curriculum, and treat it in a characteristic stu- dent way. Many of our best students ha e. tor several )-ears, telt the need of an Annual to represent this lighter side of college life, which, if held within reasonable bounds, is enjoyed by the student, and lingers as a pleasant reminiscence in the mind of the alumnus. No class, however, was sufficiently aggressive and uniform in s])irit to pul)lish an Annual, until ' 89 stepped upon the field of junior activit -. ' e recognize the difficulties under which we labor in taking the first step in a new direction, having no local Y)recedent to follow, and no experience by which to i)rofit. While we hope to meet with some approval, we expect to be criticised. To those inclined to criticism we would say : By the time this pulilication reaches )ou our office will be closed, and the editorial l)oard disbanded; if you have any criticisms to offer b ' which the class succeeding us may profit, make them known to that class. It is useless to hand criticisms to ' 89, since this is the only An- nual we shall ever publish, and criticisms made after the volume is issued cannot alter its contents. In making this innovation in our college life, ' 89 has had in mind not only the present year, but future years. We believe it possible to publish an Annual void of all obscenity and boast- fulness, which shall be offensive to neither organization, professor, student, alumnus nor friend, and yet be attractive to all acquainted with college ways, and to those desiring to become acquainted. Such an annual we have endeavored to i)ublish, and we trust that ' 90, and succeeding classes will follow our labor with their best efforts. As we rise from the editorial chair to leave our office, we linger a moment to express our hearty thanks to all who have aided us. P specially would we thank our faithful artist, to whose skilful- ness is due our best engravings, and to whose willingness to fol- low our purpose, at the sacrifice of art, the effectiveness of our burlesques. . nd now, sanctum sanctorum, farewell ! May you, in each succeeding year, be the scene of midnight vigils and noonday activity. May your walls again echo the scratching of the pen and the tearing of condemned manuscript. And may other Juniors pace your floors, searching all the realms of thought for something: new. goaRD OF Trustees -ov THE UNIVERSITY. Chairniau, WILLIAM HLCKNKLL, Philadelphia. Secretary, Rka. A.

The University at Lewisburg was incorijorated, witli full Uni- versity privileges, by an act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, approved by the Executive authority on the fifth day of February, A. D. 1846. By a change in the Charter made in 1882, the management of the University is committed to a PJoard of Trustees, consisting of twenty-five members, or fewer at the option of the Board. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees on the twenty-second day of June, A. D. 1886, the name of the University was changed to Bucknell Universit}-, in honor of Mr. William Bucknell, its most munificent benefactor. The Trustees are prohibited, for any cause, or under any pretext whatever, from encuml)ering by mortgage or otherwise the real estate or any other property of the Institution. It is provided that no misnomer of the Corporation shall defeat or annul any gift, grant, devise, or bequest to the Institution, if the intent of the parties sufficiently appear. It is required by the Charter, that no religious sentiments are to be accounted a disability to hinder the election of an individual to any office among the teachers of the Institution, or to debar j ersons from attendance as pupils, or in any manner to abridge their privileges or immunities as stu- dents in any department of the University. FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION. The buildings of the University contain recitation-rooms ap- propiately fitted up with maps, charts, mounted photographs, a d oti i r a- ' ds in t ' e commimication of knowledge, and have been rendered exceptionally comfortable and inviting. ' Vhe Ijljraries contain more than 10,000 bonnd volumes, and the Reading Room is amply supplied with the best periodicals, in- cluding French and German reviews. The Museum contains nearly 11,000 s]jecimens, illustrative of botany, mineralogy, ge- ology, zoology and archaeology. The Laboratory is ecjuipped for a thorough course of instruction in general chemistry, and facilities are afforded for the study in the Laboratory of analyti- cal, applied and cpiantitative c ' hemistry. ' I ' here are also Ana- tomical and Physiological Laboratories, well supplied with com- pound microscopes and other apparatus necessary for successful work. The Observatory was founded in 1887 by Mr. William Buck- nell, of Philadelphia, for the instruction of the students in practical astronomy. The entire ecjuipment is new, and represents the latest im- provements in this class of instruments. It consists of a Clark equatorial telescope of 10 inches aperture and 12 ' j feet focal length, furnished with a fine position micrometer and all the usual accessories; a spectroscoi)e with prism and grating by Brashear, the grating having 14,500 lines to the inch ; a 3-inch prismatic transit with a 13-wire movable micrometer, by T. Krtel cS: Sons; a Fauth chronograph with Bond spring governor ; a Waldo pre- cision clock for sidereal time, with mercurial compensation, break circuiting apparatus, Daniell ' s battery, and telegraph sounders ; a Seth Thomas clock for solar time ; a sextant ; a 3-inch Alt. Azimuth Refractor ; a set of meteorological instruments ; celes- tial globes and maps, and standard works on theoretic and practical astronomy. COURSES OF STUDY. The following courses of study may be pursued in the college: I. The Classical Course extends through four ears, and aims to furnish a liberal education in the classics, the sciences, the arts, anci literature. It comprises, substantially, the studies of the established college curriculum, with the addition of such branches as modern life seems to demand. Students who have satisfactorily jjursued this course are admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. U 2. The Scientific Course also extends through four years, and aims to furnish a tliorough training in advanced studies to those wlio desire to pursue but one of the ancient languages. ' J ' his course contains eight terms of (jither Latin or (rreek, and the other studies of the Classical Course. Students pursuing this course recite, so far as possible, with classical students. Those who have satisfactorily completed the studies of the course are admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Science. In the selection of o])tional studies in either of the above courses, the choice must be made with the a])])robation of the Faculty. 3. The Eclectic Course is not limited to any definite time, and does not lead to any degree. It is designed to furnish advanced instruction in literature, science, and the arts to such students as do not intend to pursue a regular course of study, but desire to select certain special branches. A certificate will be given by the President at any time, stating what studies have been com- pleted and the grade attained in them. This certificate will be accepted as equivalent to an examination, provided the holder, at anv time, ])refers to be transferred to either of the regular courses. DEPARTMENTS OF INSTRUCTION. The method of instruction in the College is partly by text- books, and partly by lectures, according to the nature of the sub- ject discussed. Each professor has his individual mode of im- parting knowledge, and this, in the result, is advantageous to the learner. In general, the aim is to di.scuss each subject, as far as )_)Ossi!)le, as the subject-matter recpiires, yet all branches are ])re- sented jjractically, comparatively, and historically, with the view of leading the student to the apprehension of the subject as a whole, and in its organic relations, rather than to burden the memor - with the ])hraseology of a text-book. The studies at ])resent pursued tall under tlie following ten de])artments : I. The lOiiglish I.aiiguago and Literature. TI. Tlie Latin Language and Literature. IT) III. The Greek Language and Literature. IV. The Modern Languages. V. Mediaeval and Modern History. VI. Mathematics and Astronomy. VII. I ' hysics and Chemistry. VIII. Organic Science. IX. The Mental and Moral Sciences. X. Political and Economic Science. While the University does not at present profess to offer a range of studies beyond that of improved and expanded colle- giate courses, it aims to provide competent instruction within the limits of the published curricula. ic. ?

Tzum-ta-7-a-ta-i(tn-ta-ta! IKE the traveler who at the close of the day stands on the mountain top and looks back over the path by which he has come, so to write the his- tory of ' 88 is like standing very near the summit and taking a last, lingering look ere the turn of the road hides the view from sight, and it remains only in memory. Among the many honors that have clustered so thickly about ' %2 , not the least is that in this famous year, when Bucknell for the first time issues an Annual, we should be the first class to inscribe our history on its illustri- ous pages. To-day as we look back over the years, it seems but a little while since we entered as green Freshmen ; while now, ah yes, we are Freshmen no longer, but have climbed the rugged slope, and have attained to all the dignity of full fledged Seniors. The thirty-three meek youths who composed the Freshman Class, conducted themselves as all well regulated Freshmen should. Sophomores said we should not carry canes, and some of the more timid ones immediately offered their sticks for sale, while the others hid theirs under their coats, until safely away from the Hill. In the spring term. Dr. Groff, as a reward for our good behavior and faithful study, took us on a botanizing trip to the wilds of Centre County, For two days we tramped dusty roads, climbed rocky hills, killed rattlesnakes, waded through swamps, slept in the open air, and found a few flowers. Thus the happy days passed. In our innocence we thought that college life was a veritable bower of roses and a feast of ambrosial sweetness. Alas I a change came over our dreams. We awoke to 19 dream no more. The stern realities of Trigonometry, An- alytical Geometry, Calculus, and a host of kindred evils confronted us in our Sophomore year. Our number had de- creased, but stern and steady the remnant marched to the con- flict, and after a hard struggle we pulled through, bearing the wounded off the field. But there is always a balm for aching hearts and we celebrated our deliverence from bondage by a symposium at Sunbury. What feeble words can describe that event, that glorious day, or to speak more correctly, that glorious night. Relentless time hurries us on and we are Juniors. We study Logic and can argue anything in the book or out of it. We talk about syllogisms and petitio prin- cipii with remarkable fluency. We also deliver public orations to an audience of 3 Sems, 19 Preps, the unlucky section of the class assigned to speak, the professor of Rhetoric and the instruc- tor in Elocution. Never had there been anything to equal it on the platform of Commencement Hall, and the vast audience forgot their disappointment over the absence of burlesques in the smoothly flowing stream of oratory that poured into their open mouths. The bell rings for the last act. Nineteen staid and solemn Seniors stand before the world. Never has there been a Senior class upon whom dignity and high hats rest so easily and well- In Geology, every man is an authority. He is as fa- miliar with rocks and minerals as he is with the photograph of his best girl. Who in ' 88 could not be a geologist when there was the constant inspiration derived from geological trips in the surrounding country, and down into the dark and dismal coal mines of Shamokin ? Who could not appreciate and understand fossils when our fourteen fair Seminary class sisters helped us find them ? But the days are passing. Soon we shall stand where many have stood before us, and we shall go the way of all college men. Out into the wide world, into theology, into law, into medicine,, into business, into teaching, into matrimony (?). May the gods guide our footsteps if any of us ever get near the latter ! Kind reader, drop a tear of sympathy for our misfortunes, a tear of charity for our failings, and sing some little song of hope as we linger a moment ere the bell rings and the curtain drops.

Class Q -.— We yell ! We yell! ! Bucknell! Bucknell! ! Eighty-Nine I Every Time ! I tell what we are is infinitely easier than to pic- ture what we have been. One easily sees the ob- jects which are lighted up around him, but is unable to penetrate the darkness beyond. Indeed were it not for the brilliancy of our past we would not undertake to reveal its secrets. It is with much pleasure that we look back over our course. Those first days of our existence as a Class were impressive. As with all Freshman Classes, we were for the most part strangers to one another. We had been picked up as by a whirlwind from every point of the compass, and after the whirl had ceased we found ourselves all dropped in a heap. Like so many freshly hatched chickens we commenced first to scrutinize ourselves and then one another. There is no telling how long this speechless gawking would have continued, had we not instinctively answered to the parental ■ .kox, xkux. Under which care we at once began to feel at home — or at least began to scratch among the roots. But it was not long before a gruff old rooster had enticed us away and amused himself feeding us green leaves and stuffing us with what- ever he could of the vegetable kingdom. However an angular 23 old chicken came to the rescue of our digestive organs. We were drawn by his squareness and forthwith made a straight line for him, and circled around the corner where he set the others an example by being careful not to proffer us anything but what was plain and solid. Thus in time we came to know the difference between Greek roots and stems, and the other kind of roots and stems, that animals move and vegetables stand still, and that a straight line is made up of points. It was at this stage of our de- velopment that one of our number extinguished himseif by mistaking a large mock-orange for a cherry. He came from Wales; they cannot have cherries there. We at length became very proficient at scratching, fighting, and crowing, and have kept our game qualities ever since. And what Freshman class would not crow, if it could boast with us of wearing plugs both white and black, sporting canes, flourishing white neckties, and running things in general to suit ourselves, despite the larger Soph, class. ( )ur Freshman year saw many glorious victories over the Soph ' s, but they are Seniors now, soon to depart from us, hence it would be beneath the magnanimity of Juniors to reopen those old wounds, so sore in by-gone days. The Fall of ' 86 found us all eager to return to The broad Susquehanna with its channel so gracefully bent; to the beau- ties of Bucknell ' s scenery, to picturesque Lewisburg, and its asso- ciations. ■lo, once touched by these charms, does not feel a thrill of pleasure on returning to Old Lewisburg? And who that has loitered here could they not reach ? ' ith the close of our first year the institution laid aside its old name of The University at Lewisburg, and donned that of Bucknell LIniversity. Since our advent we have seen Bucknell Chapel, a magnificent structure, and an Observatory most completely etjuipped, added to our cluster of buildings. Improvement and Advancement have been the watch- words since we co nnected ourselves with the University. Our Sophomore Banquet was a grand success, not-with- standing the scheming of ' 88 to make it prove otherwise. The memories of that brilliant eve will cling closely and tenaciously. Eighty-nine can boast of more true class spirit than any of her contemporaries. It is conceded, nay, voluntarily given the title of The best natured class in College. And if ever a 24 college class got more genuine enjoyment out of its recitations, it got more than its share. ' e are noted for our muscle, sand and brilliancy. The Prof, in Mechanics once said he could not understand how we could make such good recita- tions and yet have such a stack of books in the hall from one recitation to the next. That is a good example of how we do things. If aught of a mischievous character occurs, turn your glass in the direction of ' 89, and you will be sure to have the perpetra- tor in view, but don ' t be too confident of spotting your man. All new projects originate in ' 89. The University Mirror and the Commencevient Daily must credit ' 89 with all the push and foresight expended upon them. The life and enthusiasm displayed in athletics must look for its source in ' 89. If there is anything which needs managing, ' 89 has the dutch to see it through. And Bucknell ' s Annual must look back to Old Eighty-Nine for its founding. The cry is — Eighty-Nine, Every Time ! Our predecessors have all along groaned and sweated under their tasks. Our greatest task has been in trying to find what caused the trouble. The laws of a science are not made, but exist in nature ; so our motto — ' ' Forti etfideli nil difficile, ' ' was not concocted for us, but developed from our natural characteristics. We hope, under the dignifying cognomen of Senior, to have the pleasure and honor of presenting to you our completed his- tory, as a class, in the second volume of L ' Agenda; so will close for the present. 25 IN JVLENIORIAIVI.

The Soph if es arrive at the Temple of Wisdom. 2. They are fearful by reason of the smallness of their number. 5. The prophet loarn- eth them. 8. The he-goat eometh and appeaseth his wrath : 9. And peace came upon that h nd. Now it came to pass in the areign of king Prex, (this is the Prex that reign- eth from the back college campus, even unto the front gate posts of the Sem): 2. ' Ihat in bthose days, when the king Prex sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was over the college, the cCad and the Sem. 3. In the eighth year of his reign, there dcame a band of pilgrims to the shrine of St. Wisdom. 4. IAnd when the epilgrims were come they were few in number ; and they said one to another: Woe is come upon us, for the Sophites are fmighty and we are weak. 5. Then up rose the gprophet of ' 90 and he saith unto them. To your dor- mies, O ye of ' 90 ! 6. Know ye not that the Texas hRanger is abroad, and that he goeth about like a bellowing ihe-goat seek- ing whom he may bump : 7. And they gat them to their kdor- mies. 8. And when the he-goat was come, then came they ' ( ; ; in scanty raiment, having neither Isandals nor hosen ; and the he-goat came nigh unto them, yea, very nigh unto them. 9. But when the he-goat ' s wrath was mappeased, (■; there was a last- ing peace in that land ; for the .So- phites and the class of ' 90 dwelt in harmony together. Chapter II. I. A second band eometh. 2. The number of the band. 3. ' They are named. 5. They gather money. 7. Atid go to a woman tailor. 8. And supplicate her to make a flag. lO. The manner of the flag. ii. They ascend the temple by night and fasten the flag. 12. The tribes of Prex see it and are astonished. 1 6. And rend the flag into many pieces. 18. The Sophites go to a painter. 22. He painteth an emblein. 26. And the Sophites set it up. 28. The Freshites abased. 1. Now it came to pass in the 9th year of King Prex, in the 9th month, (that is the amonth September), on the ninth day of the same there came a new band of pilgrims to the shrine of St. Wisdom, on the 9th day of the month September came they there. 2. Now the number of this l)and was two and thirty, and it 7oas fresh. 3. So by reason of its exceeding cverdancy, it came to be called the tribe of the Freshites, (which being literally interpreted, meaneth green), and the whole tribe was of one accord fresh. 4. Now in the fullness of time these Freshites became much dpuffed uj), and they said one to another, Go to, let us gather together pieces of cop- per and pieces of silver, yea even many shekels of silver. 5. And they said. Go to no7v; let us take these pieces of money whatso- ever we have gotten, and let us be- take ourselves to an ewoman-tailor. 6. And let us give unto the woman- tailor of the pieces of money, and say unto her. 7. ( ) woman, make unto us a flaunt- 29 ing flag of tine linen that shall show forth our greatness to all the tribes of the fkingdom of Prex. 8. And after this manner shalt thou make it. Thou shalt weave ten pieces of fine-twined linen scai-let and black; with cunning work shalt thou weave them. 9. And thou shalt bind them to- gether with threads of purple ; and the length of the flag shall be eight cubits, and width of it four cubits. 10. And with twisted threads thou shalt make in gbroidered work the figures ' 91; on the field of the flag shalt thou embroider it. And it was so. 11. And the Freshites said one to another, Go to now ; when the night Cometh let us ascend the Temple of Wisdom; and let us take twenty taches of brass wherewith we shall fasten the flag to the pillar that top- peth out the Temple of Wisdom. And it was so. 12. And when the imorrow was come, then the tribes of the kingdom of Prex did see the naughtiness of the Freshites. 13. For lo, they kwere all there, the Protfites, the Seniorites, the Juniorites, and the Sophites. 14. And behold they were exceed- ing wroth ; for a great rage come upon them, and they smote their breasts say- ing: 15. The Freshites be upon us. And the ISeniorites and the Sophites did rise as one man, and did gird their loins, and did take staves in their hands. 16. And lo, they tore into rags the fla- of the Freshites ; into Diicroscopi- cal portions tore they it. 17. Now when the Sophites be- held their enemies scattered they laughed a scornful laugh ; and they got them a great roll of pai-chment ; behold it was exceeding great. 18. Then they went forth to a man skilled in all mann er of ograving and painting, aud they said unto him, 19. () painter, live forever. The fame of thy skilled handicraft goeth abroad throughout the land. 20. I ehold the emblem of our enemy, the Freshites, is destroyed, and the fowls of the air do build their nests with the shreds thereof. 21. Come now therefore and make unto us an emblem of Pthe Freshites that their pride and an ogance lie abased. 22. Then the painter took qthe parchment and did make an emblem of the Freshites. After a solid-hoofed beast he fashioned it. 23. The eai-s of it were two cubits long, the tail half a cubit long and the jawbone of it was very great; for saith the painter, the PVeshites have much cheek. 24. And the hind leg of it he did suspend in mid air, for thus he com- muned with himself saying. The Fresh- ites do kick exceedingly; yea, verily they do kick. 25. And the nostrils of it and the mouth of it made he very great ; for, saith the painter the Freshites are wide-mouthed and swont to brav. 26. And on the fourth day it was finished and the Sophites beheld ; and lo, it was very good. Then the So- phites took the emblem and set ?Vover against the sacred grove of the Sem- ites. 27. Then there cometh the tribes of Prex, the Proftites, and the Senior- ites, and the Juniorites, and the So- phites, and the Semites, and the Prep- ites, and they did gaze on the emblem. 28. And the Freshites lifted up their eyes, and a great humiliation came upon them, and they went away sorrowing. 29. After these things the Sophites and the Freshites lived in peace for the Freshites were meek as lambs. 30. Now these things I have written unto you behold they are true, for are not these things told among you even unto this day? 31. After this manner came to pass the things I have written. In the 9th day of the I Itli month of Prex the king. 32. Now the rest of the acts of the Sophites, and all that they did, lo, they are written in the book of the Chronicles of the Sophites that lived in the dominions of Prex the king.

E diligently set to work to collect all the fragments of our infant history. We shall endeavor to maintain the strictest adherence to truth, and to infuse into the whole, the dignity, grandeur, and magnificence worthy our illustrious class of ' 91. However, be- fore proceeding further, kind reader, it be- comes my unpleasant duty to make you ac- quainted with the truth concerning the Sophs, whose historian has grossly misrep- resented that class to you, and who has been guilty of the basest fabrications. It is a well authenticated fact and well known to the entire College community, that not one member of this self-styled model class has made an honest recitation since entering College. Several members of this model class, unblushingly proposed to some of our men that they would dispose of their pony at a reasonable figure. It is needless to say the proposition was scornfully rejected. Their class motto is ' ■ ' ■ex equis mwiquatn descendirnus. ' ' The Sophs since our entering College, realizing that ' 91 was superior to them numerically, intellectually, and physically, have treated us with marked, even studied courtesy. Several of their number having volunteered to fag for our men — unheard of kindness, but their overtures were wisely rejected, as it was considered un- safe to trust them in our rooms, for fear our valuables might dis- appear. In two years this class will be graduated. They will then astonish the world with their ignorance, and be prepared for anything except work. Now I will proceed, for doubtless you are eagerly awaiting to learn our short, eventful, and glorious record. The 15th of last September, brought us together for the first time. Soon were we initiated into the mysteries of college life, surprising our preceptors by our precocity and amazing the Sophs 33 by an entire absence of the proverbial greenness, which so char- acterized them upon their advent in college. In a remarkably short time we gained the confidence and esteem of the faculty by our gentlemanly deportment, faithful work, andprofound scholar- ship. The most remarkable episode in our infant history, which stands without a precedent, occured on Thanksgiving morning. Long before dawn appeared on that ever memorable day, our class had swung to the chilly breeze from the dome of the Col- lege the flag of ' 91. The Sophs gazing upon our colors floating proudly to the breeze, were filled with consternation, but they were powerless. With tears in their eyes and agony depected on their countenance, they besought their friends to advise and if possible to aid them. The Seniors moved to compassion by their entreaties, finally condescended to assist them in pulling down our banner. This, however, was not an easy task. The attacking party having gained the roof, the boys of ' 91 fastened the trap door, thus preventing their return. In the meantime their friends endeavored to free them from their exalted position. The fight waxed fierce and hot ; again and again the rescuing party was hurled down the stairway. Finally three upon the roof succeeded in prying open the door, and thus escaped. The future of ' 91 is full of promise. Hoping, indulgent reader, this fragmentary account of our class has been of interest to you, and thanking the magnanimous Juniors, through whose courtesy you have heard from us, we say, farewell.

Let us note an incontestable fact ; the science of the art of oratory has not yet been taught. Horace, QuintiUian, and Cicero, with many modern writersf have failed in such under- taking. We seek in vain the fundamental laws, whence their teachings proceed, save in the case of Del Sarte, where to learn •his science of oratory it is only necessary: 1. To know the general law of the organism. || 2. To apply the law to particular cases. 3. To understand such application. 3x3=9; 3x9=27; 3x27=81.

Del Sarte ' s Baby. Men are poets at birth . . . The child as yet devoid of intel- lect and sentiment, conveys his emotions through cries and moa is. When a child recognizes its mother it begins to smile. — Preface. Sound is the first language of man in the cradle. — Chap. If. With the infant in the cradle the signs of its sensibility are broken cries. When the child recognizes the tender care of its mother, its voice becomes less shrill and broken. The infant, delighted at being mounted upon a table, and calling his mother to admire him, rises to the fourth note of the scale. If his de- light becomes more lively, to the sixth. If the mother does not manifest her approval, he ascends to the third minor. His (luietude is expressed by the fourth note. — Chap. JV. The child begins with feeling, then he loves and later he reasons .... Chap. F. Look at the infant. For some time he manifests his joy or sorrow through cries. He smiles upon his mother, and his first gesture is a smile. — Chap. VI. The infant in the cradle has neither speech nor gesture — he cries. The young infant manifests neither intelligence nor affec- tion. He is an artist without knowing it. — Cliap. VII. III. Del Sarte ' s System a Science. There is no science with principles to give a reason for its facts. But in Del Sarte it is not always necessary to fall back upon logic. Reason- may be in contradiction to nature. Loo ' ic is often at fault when applied to artistic facts. For in- stance : — The ear is the most delicate, the most exacting of all our senses. The eye is far more tolerant. The eye resigns itself to behold a bad gesture, but the ear does not forgive a false note or false inflection. But Speech is inferior to gesture. If the gestures are good, the most wretched speaking will be tolerated. f Red, yellow, and blue are the primitive colors. Red is the color of the blood, hence red is eccentric, the symbol of strength and power in God, in man, and in demon. Why is blue concentric, representing the mind? Because blue is most soothing to the eyes. Why is yellow the emblem of the soul, normal? Because yellow is the color of the flame ; the symbol of a soul set on fire with love. Why do we not place white in the chart? Because white is incandescence in its highest degree, and earthly thermometers do not mark this degree of heat. | Remember that logic is at fault when applied to artistic facts. ' ' Fiunt oratores !

In addition to the above named gentlemen there is a full and able corps of instructors who are prepared to give thorough instruction in Rhetoric, Literature and Elocution ; Ancient and Modern Languages, Natural Sciences and Drawing. GENERAL INFORMATION. A commodious building, located on College hill, and fur- nished with modern conveniences, is occupied by the Academy. Three courses of study are here offered to students; the Classical Preparatory, the Scientific Preparatory and the Acade- mic. The student who has satisfactorily completed either of the first two, will be admitted upon the Principal ' s certificate to Freshman standing in the corresponding College course. It is the purpose of the Academic course to provide more extended instruction in Modern Languages, Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Belles Lettres. This course is especially recommended to such as do not contemplate a full College course. Rhetorical exercises are held weekly, and instruction in Elocution is afforded all students. Each student receives per- sonal assistance in the preparation of orations and declamations. A course in Book-Keeping and Commercial Law, as well as instruction in Free-hand Drawing is open to such as desire it. A select reference library, excellent atlases and wall-maps, and also the College library and reading room are continually accessible to students. Several prizes are subjects of annual competition. The principles of the New Testament are accepted as the foundation of school management. Students are encouraged to regard self-government as the only true government. The rela- tion between teacher and pupil is one of confidence. 69 THE SENIOR CLASS. Name. Residence. Room. CHARLES ALEXANDER GUNDY, Lewisburg, Mr. J. A. Gundy.

The Institute, though under the control of the Board of Trustees of the University, is entirely separate from the other Departments. The Buildings are situated in a handsome grove of native trees, at a short distance from the College Buildings, and are commodious, well ventilated, heated by steam, and furnished with all the appliances necessary to promote the health and comfort of the pupils. The instruction in all departments is thorough, complete and practical, the design of the various courses being to meet the wants of the students. Effort is constantly made to combine mental culture and physical exercise, and thus harmoniously develop all the powers of mind and body. With this end in view a commodious Gym- nasium has been provided, and furnished with requisite apparatus for light gymnastics. There is a Literary Society connected with the Institute, comprising such young ladies as may choose to join. The mem- bers have access to a well selected library. The young ladies attend lectures delivered by the President and Professors of the University, and have access to the Univer- sity Library, Cabinet, and Philosophical Apparatus on the same terms as collegiate students. The Principal and Assistant Teachers will ever exercise a watchful care over the morals and health of the students, gover- ing the school by appealing to their better feelings and higher principles — a mode of discipline which has thus far been found entirelv successful. r3 THE SENIOR CLASS.

Biography, Poetry, Prose, 79 SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF Davm 3 YN[E Vjiuh, LL.D, President David Jayne Hill, LL. D., was born in Plainlield, N. J., June loth, 1850. He received his early education in the public schools of Glenn ' s Falls, N. Y., aiid Plainfield, N. J., and at the academy at Deckertown, N. J. He was prepared for col- lege at Sufifield, Conn., and at Cooperstown, N. Y. At the latter place he began writing for the press, the first fruits of a pen, since so largely devoted to the aid of American students. In April, 1870, he was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church at Pawling, N. Y., by his father, the Rev. Daniel T. Hill. In August of the same year he entered the University at Lewis- burg, as a freshman. As a student, he was thorough, enthusiastic, ambitious. In the languages his translations were marked by a felicity of expression and a poetic insight, rarely found in the class room. He appreciated every department of study, making it contribute its share to his development. But in Belles-Letters and Philo- sophy, he manifested the wide grasp of mind, and the wonderful powers of analysis and generalization, which presaged his subse- quent eminence. His reading extended far beyond the range of text-books. The members of the Johnsonian Club, which in those days supplemented, but did not hinder the work of the literary societies, will never forget the entertaining evenings, when, in the familiar intercourse of congenial spirits, the youth- ful disputant or essayist astonished his associates by the wealth of his resources and the flashes of his genius. The files of the Co - lege Hei-ald ' ' ' ' and its worthy successor, show many a poem of those youthful days, over the signature Jean, that would do credit to the ripened fancy of maturer years. His friends have reason to complain that this vein of his many-sided ability is too little worked. In the Junior exhibition of 1S73, e took the Lung Prize for Oratory, and at his graduation in 1874, he delivered the Valedictory address. He was called soon after to the pastorate of the Baptist church in Madison, Wis., but declined the call in order to serve his alma mater as tutor in the Ancient Languages. At the close of the collegiate year iS 74-75, upon the resignation of Professor Robert Lowry, Mr. Hill was appointed Instructor in Rhetoric, and in 1877, he was elected Crozer Professor of Rhetoric. At the same time he published an advanced text- book for colleges, The Science of Rhetoric, which at once received the recognition of the first institutions of the land. In this masterly work the author applies the scientific method to a subject hitherto regarded mainly as an art, unsystematic and 80 crude ; dependent for its effects upon the native or acquired skill of the speaker or the writer. He discovered its general princi- ples and referred them to the nature and constitution of the human mind, and thus wrought a truly scientific statement out of the chaos of discussion and guess-work around him. This text-book was so skilfully adapted to class use, both by its arrangement and by its printed form, that the author was re- quested to prepare an elementary text-book on the same subject, marked by the same desirable treatment. Accordingly, the Elements of Rhetoric and Composition was published l:)y Sheldon Co., New York, in 1878. Few school books have met a more wide-spread recognition than this; nearly 75,000 copies have been sold, and it seems likely to hold its place for a long time to come. The germ of the Science of Rhetoric was a sentence in De Quincy ' s essays, expressing the hope that some one would apply the scientific method to so much of Rhetoric as could be compassed by general laws. This suggestion of the great essayist, falling into the fertile mind of the school-boy, determined the purpose and the early studies of the young instructor. The literature and the literary biography of America next engaged the active and fruitful mind of Professor Hill. The series of Morley ' s English Men of Letters stirred his ambition to do, for our own authors, what the great Englishman and his coadjutors were beginning so auspiciously for the galaxy of British intellect. Our author designed especially to interest American students in the lives and writings of American authors. To the production of his brief biographies of Irving and Bryant, — Sheldon Co., 1879, — h brought a trained and facile pen, a finely balanced judgment, and a sympathetic critical faculty, sharpened by the severer studies for his text-book work. The Irving and the Bryant may well stand side by side with the more pretentious American Men of Letters Series, as appreciative and yet critical estimates, as well as spirited and engaging narratives, of two of our greatest literary men. The publication of the partially prepared Poe was interrupted by the election of the youthful professor to the presidency of the University in March, 1879, -s successor to the honored Justin R. Loomis, LL. D. This position was fraught with grave responsibilities. Further expansion of the University seemed possible only upon the basis of enlarged endowment. The Centennial Endowment effort had ended in total failure. Never was greater load of administrative burdens laid upon so young a college President. Few know the pressure upon brain and heart occasioned by the indifference of those who ought to have rallied to the aid of a great benevolent enterprise. The President could not transmute lead into gold. Driven to seek aid from men of large means, he found their gifts 81 hedged about by conditions intended to transform the organized government of the institution. Through this sea of dangerous experience he safely guided the good ship, inspiring confidence and harmony among all the sharers in the voyage. The much needed addition to the endowment was secured, to the extent of $100,000. Of this sum Mr. William Bucknell of Philadelphia, contributed one-half. The re-organization of the boards of con- trol was effected; improvements to the buildings and grounds followed. More recently, Mr. Bucknell has erected the beautiful chapel which bears his name, and the astronomical observatory, each at a cost of $10,000. He has also refitted the dormitory hall of the academy; established twenty collegiate scholarships of $1,000 each; founded five prizes for the institute; and in April, 1SS7, added $50,000 to the general endowment. In all his plans for the growth of the University, Mr. Bucknell has en- joyed the counsel and approval of President Hill. In the new (Apartment of instruction administered by the President, he found most congenial ground. Psychology had been the favorite study of his college days. Its influence in his class-room treatment of Rhetoric and Logic had been prominent. The gradual introduction of the lecture system into his class- room, together with the guidance of the student into fields of original research, marked his instruction. Soon, an unusual topic appeared in the college curriculum; — Anthropology — in- struction being afforded by the President ' s lectures and by assigned readings. The substitution of this branch fqr the time honored Butler ' s Analogy, gave to the instructor occasion for grappling with the problems growing out of the relations of Modern Science to man ' s origin and destiny. In succession. Political Economy, Psychology and Ethics have ceased to be text-book memoriter subjects, and have yielded to treatment by lectures and research. President Hill ' s power of organizing knowledge into syst- ematic form is brought into requisition, in a very happy manner, in all these courses for his classes. He has wisely avoided the temptation to popular adaptation and address, and has resolutely adhered to the severe studies and researches of his department. However, in the interest of popular enlightenment on the issues of the day, he prepared a series of editorials for a great daily news- paper, on the Principles and Fallacies of Socialism. These have since been gathered into Lovell ' s Library, No. 533. In this form the work has had a circulation of over 10,000 copies. Many large firms distributed them to all their employees. On the same great subject he als o prepared and read a paper before the Baptist Congress, held in New York, in 1S85, entitled Socialism, — False and True. In the spring of 1887, he pre- pared and delivered a course of eight lectures before the Newton Theological Institution, Mass., entitled The Relation of •Christianity to Social Problems. For the fuller preparation of these, he spent six months in Europe, carefully observing the conditions of social and industrial progress around him. President Hill ' s publications since his accession to the presi- dency have been (i), an analytic recasting for better adaptation to American schools, of Jevons ' Elements of Logic, Sheldon Co., 1883. In this notable text-book the work of the editor vies with that of the gifted and lamented author. (2), Ele- ments of Psychology, Sheldon Co., 1888. This last is doubt- less the most important, as it is the most mature, production of its author to the present time. It is characterized by great analytic power, by lucidity of statement, by a just perspective and proportion in the relative prominence of its matter, and by appreciative recognition of the great progress recently made in psychological studies. Its author is well acquainted with the French and German literature upon his subject, and possesses one of the finest special libraries in the country. In addition to the works mentioned, he has written many re- view articles for the press, delivered a number of successful public lectures, made extended study of art and its criticism, of the History of Philosophy, and of the Philosophy of Education. In 1883, Madison University honored herself not less than him, by conferring upon him the Degree of Doctor of Laws. In personal dignity of bearing, and in power to attract and hold attention. President Hill possesses the rare endowments of .an orator. Hi s voice is strong, mellow and pleasing, and is under perfect control. His manner is earnest, without vehemence ; persua- sive, rather than dogmatic. As a preacher, he confines himself in his Baccalaureute discourses to the profound issues between revealed religion and modern science ; always leaving with his students a great, final, clinching argument for the nurture of the religious life in the world of action they are about to enter. In his Commencement Addresses he is versatile and happily appropriate. To the young lady graduates he has given advice which indicated his conviction that competition is not the normal relation of the sexes. The gentle raillery at some modern isms ' ' concerning their respective spheres, in the never-to-be-forgotten reference to the Brown-heeled Woman of the Susquehanna, proved him the chivalric admirer of woman as queen of the home. For her he would demand an education as truly liberal, if some- what diverse, as for her brothers. The administration of President Hill is characterized by the largest confidence in the student, and by great freedom within the limits of gentlemanly deportment and honest devotion to work. The personal responsibility of the student is appealed to, and his honor is the only bond required. In the intellectual radiance, no less than in the hospitable good-cheer that beams from the President ' s home upon the student world around him, he is worthily seconded by his lovely and accomplished wife. 83 7?iLE5 nut) Voices from the Qniversity. THE PROFESSOR ' S TALE. I. Without invoking muse, or other aid, Upon myself the mighty task I ' ve laid, Of warbhng forth a most melodious theme, And executing a tremendous scheme. I ' ll tell the story of my teacher life, K Its outward show, its often inward strife, Its pains, its hardships, wrongs, and victories. A person of less magnitude than I Might pale in presence of so great a task. But I would dare to raise the battle-cry. And in my hand the well-used pen to grasp. Should oracle and fate and angered muse Combine their power, and hand and brain alike of mine confuse. I guess I know enough to run a poetry-mill. Without the help of any green-eyed Goddess. II. In order to retain my due influence, I ' m well endowed with most becoming dignity. And in my life is found the true confluence Of suasion ' s placid stream and stern rigidity. I smile on good boys, that ' s true, And on bad ones I turn the thumbscrew, In beautiful speeches and easy renditions, I make known my laws and conditions. He who keeps them is blessed, He who breaks them, distressed, ' Twould be well if he ' d never been born. III. I am stern in appearance, have a voice that ' s forbidding. Yet I relish a joke as well as the boys. ' Tis true, at ti,mes, I ' m the cause of much flunking. And laugh at the flunker as a child at its toys. But he who yields, joy he feels. Though he who kicks will get pricks. I think to be neat is a part of my business, And he who ' d be stylish takes pattern of me; 8i To stretch pants at the knee I think very fooHsh, And with careful endeavor this error I flee. I ' m not very domestic but very artistic, At times quite morose and at others quite free ; But if you think there ' s no work to be done in my class-room, All I can say is, try it and see. IV. If you reach class unprepared. Just expect to be scared, I will ply you with questions Till your head is split up into spherical sections, I will smile at your flurry, Keep you in a great worry, I ' ll let you think out your scheme In a silence supreme, And wait like a stoic For an eftbrt heroic. Which shall clear up the subject Both for you and for me. If you skip me to-day, I ' ll skip you to-morrow. And so for yourselves you ' ll but lay up sorrow. Ere you try it again. Take advice from my pen. Solve no problem too quickly, Lest sorrows come thickly ; Take a day or e ' en two. As you see me oft do. Consider the matter in every relation, And I think you will end in a better condition. V. I ' m a man of much work, do you see ? I ' m as nervous as nervous can be. Overwork is the cause, If they ' d but keep my laws, I ' d be rid of all that, don ' t you see ? I worry myself ' bout the .students. They show such a small stock of prudence. Are so anxious to have holidays. See not where their best fortune lies, Close their ears to instruction, Seem bent on destruction. And all that, and all that, do you see ? To their sorrow they ' ll learn, by and bye. They have let their best moments fly, And as sure as you ' re born ' ' 85 They will be brought to scorn, Twixt this and the great judgment day. They worry me at times beyond measure, Vet at others they give me great pleasure. Come to me for advice. And do all that is nice In a student who respects the Professor. VI. From day to day I climb the hill, From time to time the boys I drill. And, in the most distracting time, A motto good I have in mind, Be calm. Though flunkers oft before me stand And questions come from every hand, I sit in silence quite profound, And, though the effort shake the ground, I ' m calm. In my calm way I give my aid. And answer all before me laid; But students while reciting are. By no side questions ought to jar. Their calmness. And when examinations come, If not before their books they ' ve thumbed. Instead ol testing deep the knowledge, WTiich years ago was tried in college, They should be calm. In strict observance of the line, I keep my classes the full time. And, though I hear the watches snap, Until the bell is heard to tap, I ' m calm. VII. In the midst of my department. Hedged about with things confused. Pouring over piles of parchment, With my sciences infused; So from morn till night you ' ll find me, If you chance to come that way, And of worthy things I ' ll tell thee. If you have the time to stay. In my earnest love of nature, I have saught in every way. Knowledge clear of every creature. Which to man is known to day. 86 With bee culture I ' m acquainted, And the ant, her ways I know, Beetles, bats and bugs unnumbered, I can name them in a row. I can tramp o ' er roads all stony, I can dare the serpent ' s sting, I can face an angered honey, And defiance at them fting. But to stand before the students, See their eyes look into mine, Though it ne ' er exhausts my patience, Yet it downs me every time. For of all things the most ti-ying, I am sure, is bashfulness. And, although for years I ' m working. That I ' m bashful, I confess. Scarcely can I courage summon, As the fall term draweth nigh. To give forth the order common, Draw the Earth, or at least try. And I dread to name dissection, For each boy will grasp his hat. And will ask in what direction He shall go to find a cat. But I cannot reprimand them. For at other times they ' re kind. When in company with Fem-Sem, Rocks and stones, we go to find. VIII. Rosy light is herald of morning. And scatters the darkness of night. She comes all creation adorning, And puts sombre shadows to flight. But light is not found of such brightness, That it o ' er my features may play. And melt into sunshine the darkness, Which on them doth sullenly stay. Out quickly from under my lashes, A look like an arrow I fling, And over the student fear flashes, As in dread of some deadly thing. Yet, ' tis but my look that ' s forbidding, There ne ' er lived a kindlier man, 87 Though I ' ll not endure any joking, And stop it, yuu know well I can. At only one time you need fear me, And that ' s on examination day ; A part of a week I will keep thee, And longer than that, if you ' ll stay. IX. You may think from what you ' ve heard, Hoaiy locks adorn my brow, I can tell you in a word, I am in my young days now. Knowledge is not always grey. And a victor may be young, And rU pass yet many a day, Ere my sweetest song is sung. If in me you ' ve found defect. And my youth is not discreet, Pray you, on my good reflect. Nor the minor ills repeat. If my bpeech is not as clear. As you justly might e.xpect. Do, I pray you, have no fear. Age and care will this correct. Doubtless, by this time you ' ve learned, That I ' m not bound by a book. And all authors feel concerned. When on theirs I bend my look. Fond of winter sports I know. Yet I ne ' er neglect my task. And in kindest way I throw, Light on questions put in class. X. But now I must stop, though there is much to be told, In order the whole of my life to unfold ; But in years to come I •ill see you again, Axid tell you more fully of other things then. But wait, I have just one confession to make, Before, kindest reader, my farewell I take. I fear, that with music my work to infuse, I have slaughtered all meters and angered the muse. But of the kind muse humbly permit I ' ll ask. Before I attempt another such task, And if, is forgiven, past contempt for her reign, I promise I ' ll never despise her again. 88 7he TfiLE OF a Senior. A palace stands on Knowledge Hill, For him who does the climbing, The door is ope ' , truth is within And well is worth the finding. This rugged hill is steep at best, But I have overcome it, And I, a senior, now attest. How charming is the summit. I bore the task — an Atlas load — But ne ' er a word I grumble ; For oft ' the little hoss, I rode Without mishap or tumble. Like fancies of an idle dream. Or pictures half forgotten, Or like the waters distant gleam, Which haunts our thoughts so often. An image haunts me day by day. It glimmers on my pillow. Or, if I watch the waves at play, I see it in the billow. It is the image of a face — You ' ve but to see to love it. Such feature, form, and queenly grace ! Oh, for possession of it! Her lips are red; the rose may vie, But ne ' er can it surpass them; And on them smiles, half hidden, lie To tempt poor me to press them. Her eyes are bright beyond compare. With love-light ever glancing. And love and mischief beaming there. In merry twinkle dancing. This pretty maid has waited long In anxious expectation. That she should hear the farewell song Upon my graduation. A mansion stands near by a stream, A peaceful gliding river. Where sunbeams flit and glance and gleam, And gentle moonbeams quiver. 89 There, woodland forms its sombre shade, It arches cooling bowers. It scents the leafy glen and glade With fragrant wildwood flowers. In woodlands leafy mingling boughs. The wild birds carol ever; The mm-m ' ring brooklet frets and flows To join the mighty river. There, sweet with dew, the meadows lie, Bedecked with many a flower. Where nectar-seeking insects hie ' In morning ' s early hour. This broad domain, a king shall rule In splendid royal fashion — The king himself just out of school ; A queen shall rule the mansion. The time has come to say, Farewell, To all our friends and brothers. And sad at heart for thee, Biuknell, We leave these halls for others. Let stars and stripes denote renown And float o ' er greatness ever; But truth and knowledge gem the crown Of Eighty-eight forever. ' YnhE OF THE gOPHOMORE. I sat, one balmy summer day, Beside a babbling stream. And watched the finny tribes at play Beneath the water ' s gleam. The sun, now shim ' ring in the West, With mellow, golden light. Smiles kindly on Dame Natm-e ' s breast Ere kissing her good-night. And now the deep ' ning twilight tills The earth with peace and calm; I hear the brooklet ' s purling rills, And feel the zephyr ' s balm. Thus, sitting by the whisp ' ring stream. In meditation deep; Some gently murm ' ring voices seem My listening ears to greet. And peering from my hiding place, I see, within the glade, A youth with open kindly face, And by his side a maid. With slow and measured steps they walk Toward a rustic seat; Where, sitting side by side, they talk In accents low and sweet. Now, o ' er a distant mountain height. The moon is rising clear; 91 I see the lovers by her hght, Their loving words I hear. Said he, Dear Agnes, you must know That sadness fills my heart, Since you will from the ' Sem ' soon go And we must live apart. But ere your graduation day, Yes now, on this calm eve, I ' ve something which, I trust, I may Request you to receive. It is not gold, it is not fame, Yet these I could bestow ; And add to them a noble name. All man could wish below. But classic learning, sought and won On BucknelTs lofty hill. Gold, fame, all such beneath the sun, At these you might cavil. But, will play a lover ' s part — Your heart is quiv ' ring, dove; Ah ! on the altar of that heart I ' ve placed my truest love. And now you raise those deep blue eyes, Their meaning, who could miss ! While on those ruby lips there lies The seal of love — a kiss. I see his manly form incline To kiss the pretty maid ; I see his arm with hers entwine. And thus they leave the glade. You ask : Who are these lovers two For whom you ' ve kept the score. She was a Sem with eyes of blue. And he a Sophomore. How nice, you say, a pretty tale. Well ; we could write some more. In such things ' 90 cannot fail; We ' ve all been there before. The TsiiiE of a Freshmsn, He ' s a curly haired Freshman, with milk-bottle and rattle, On the campus in safety at last he arrived, Of nursery tales and such things he prattles, And on condensed milk he, so far, has thrived. His life has been checkered with interesting features, And pleasures for him, so far, have had stings. But, better to acquaint yourself with this creature, List to the fragments of songs which he sings. FRAGMENT I. When once you have seen me, you ' ll be quite attracted. And in lofty tones you will herald my praise, For wisdom ' s own self in me is reflected. And the sun in my presence should darken his rays. Oft in times past have I startled the people, As on stage or pulpit my power I displayed, And so, if against me a Senior should stumble, He ' ll find that on me wisdom ' s hands have been laid. FRAGMENT II. What can be the matter! I ' m almost distracted, Things are not at all as I thought they would be ; On nearly all sides my freedom ' s contracted, And I seem a small craft, lashed about by the sea. I am hazed by the Sophomore and teased by the Junior, Snubbed by the Seniors, ignored by the Profs ; ' Even the Sems refuse me, a suitor, Fm the wretched recipient of ill-natured cufis. I am misunderstood, my talents unheeded, Go by the board, with none to lament ; My knowledge by none of the boys is exceeded, Yet, it ' s unappreciated to a cruel e.xtent. Bad luck to the day when I started fur college, May the man who advised me be poor and forlorn, Curses on that which I deemed to be knowledge, Since on me it bringeth not honor, but scorn. FRAGMENT III. A new era dawns, I have seen myself darkly, But now by myself as by others Fm seen ; I did assume knowledge and airs rather rashly And I wonder no longer they all called me green. 93 The (?o-5t)S Voice. To him, who in a gallant spirit brings His votive offerings to my shrine, I Grant my gracious favor. In conversation Learned, I can engage him and give him food For thought in quiet hours. If Junior like. He takes delight in Logic, and scatters French and German in his talk, me, he will Find quite equal to the occasion, I ' ll Open his eyes by strokes of repartee. And if perchance a Senior quit his station Sufficient long to chat awhile with me, If, forgetful of all common questions. He fix his speech on mind and destiny; In those speculative realms of human Reason he will find me learned to a Slight extent. And if he now, in reason, Stand above me and lead in lines of thought I cannot meet, when I, like him, have made Complete my studies and to their aid my Intuition bring, then I will dare to Meet him in his greatness, and discuss the Most knotty point his majesty can brave. In addition to these trifling virtues, I have an art, as yet unknown to man. By which o ' er his claimed power and greatness I gain the victorj ' by a simple 94 Smile, which is possessed of power so great And wondrouSjthat it could win even stones from The Orphean charm. I, only I, can Rival man in the multiplicity of Inventions, and with changing season, time, And day, by some unlooked-for, staring, New departure in style of ribbons, hats, Gloves, lace or shawl, I start a thrill of (?) In all the centres, suburbs and rural Districts of the fashion-ruled, mundane sphere. Now, my hat in lofty aspiration Ascends to heights which peril modesty. But soon by reflex humiliation Upon my head, a mere speck ' twill be found ; To-day in passing by I seem a shadow But on the morrow you ' re compelled to Stand as down the street with train of silk and Wigging I slowly toil ni} weary way. In nature too I am a curious Creatui-e, with moods and tenses never found By Grimm. From smile to frown is a simple Transformation, and myrrh and nectar side By side appearing, make me a problem Most enchanting strange. I laugh, I scold, I Love, I hate, I pity; and with it all I Mix an angel ' s grace, — what if at times the Angel be Plutonic, it still remains An angel for all that. I am in fact A charming contradiction, where no and Yes contend in constant strife ; and if you Ask me for some special favor the answer May be yes, or no, or even may be so. Now do I hear some cynical object, Which people in error have named Lord, Say til at after all I am but woman ? Then quick, in reply, I return that a Woman may still be a woman, though learned In all things as the most erudite man. Must woman, because she loves learning and Seeks it with joy and delight, lay aside, In attire and in natme, the graces. And arts all her own, which may add to her Beauty some value, and to her granted Attractiveness charm ? Then allow me to Follow dame nature and assume all the Beauty I can. And if I remain coy And artful and frown when you want me to Smile, I am sure, in the end you will find Me more attractive than if I were — man. 95 f[ T LE OF THE gEM. The moonbeams fall on Sem brick-walls, And dudish masher full of daring ; His low notes float upon the breeze, As upward he begins his staring. Blow, breezes, blow, set the dead leaves flying, Blow breezes; cease, Fem-Sem, thy crying, crying, crying. The Fem-Sem to the window comes And gently draws aside the curtain, The long line shakes adown through space, To secure her lover ' s note for certain. Haste, Cupid, haste, set thy message flying, Haste, cupid; cease Fem-Sem thy sighing, sighing sighing. The janitor wakes from his sleep, And gets his club so old in story ; His long strides take him to the scene, He robs the Soph of all his glory. Haste janitor, haste, set the rascal flying, Haste, janitor ; hear the footsteps dying, dying, dying. 96 ' InuE OF Strife. ' Tvvas on a bright and moonlight night, The Sophs in bed were sleeping fast, And little knew the coming fight, As up the stairs the Freshman passed. Upon the roof the Freshies climbed, Nor rested till the task was done, And well content they left behind A large flag labeled, Ninety (3ne. The Sophomores to breakfast went. All quiet till, on coming back. With eyes upon the College bent. They saw the banner, red and black. Then quickly to the roof they sprang. And seized the banner streaming out ; While out across the campus rang. The sound of their victorious shout. Then came the Freshmen, all at once, Their precious banner to defend. And on the Sophs they quickly pounce, As through the trap-door they descend. Defeated then, with many a whack. The Freshmen ran with broken heads; The handsome banner, red and black, Was by the Sophs torn into shreds. Soon after that in Bucknell Hall, The little handbills, red and green, Told all about the monkey show. Which after chapel might be seen. One valiant man destroyed the jack, Which stood beside the chapel path, Because the picture, done in black, Aroused in him his freshman wrath. 97 Now Freshmen all take this advice : Dont hang your banner in the skies, Or else the Sophs may in a trice, Destroy it right before your eyes. And when you have a monkey show. Don ' t let your angry passions rise. For they may back upon you flow, And quick destroy you, in surprise. 98 ' JniiE OF THE ( ao. Ye who with sympathy filled look on the Cad with compassion, Ye who around him would throw the fond, loving father ' s protection, List to the song I will sin of my sorrow, my woe and my valor. A little removed from the College, just down the hill to the westward. The Academy building stands, the pride and joy of all Prepdom. Around its home-like walls the sunbeams play in all freedom, When at the close of day the sun to its rest is descending. Inside, for comfort and ease, neat apartments await my disposal ; Fitted out, it would seem, by some ingenious fellow. So that the master, at last, might give to it all his approval. Here might I truly be happy, were it not for that towering mass Of bricks they call the College. Strange creatures inhabit that building. Though human in form and appearance. Here ' s the beginning of sorrow. When I arise in my strength and attempt great deeds and achievements, Quick I am overshadowed by a dignified, erudite Sophomore, Who swings high his cane and snaps out : Silence, ' Prep., ' speak not in my presence ! And when, by way of diversion, I start on some moonlight excursion, A threat ' ning blast from a fish-horn, in the hand of a watching Freshman, Sends me back to my room to brood o ' er my woes in retirement. But under my own vine and fig-tree, within the walls of the Cad, I tremble from fear of becoming the butt of jokes quite improper. When in the larder is stored food that would grace a king ' s table; When in the parlors are gathered fair ladies, whose tongues raise a babel ; Then this fiend of destruction, this green-eyed, gluttonous Collegiate, Under the cover of night and the riot which reigns in the parlors. Sneaks silently into the building, searches and finds the provisions, Quietly sits down at his ease, without any fear of collisions, And eats to his fill of the bounties prepared for far fairer mortals. And I, in blissful ignorance of all that below is transpiring. Sit by the side of a maid, who, with bearing mild and retiring, Holds me spell-bound to the spot, forgetful of all things except her. Oh, what chagrin and excitement! when, at the the time for refreshments, Nothing at all can be found, in all the many apartments, 99 Of the nicely-frozen ice cream, red apples and luscious bananas. Driven at last to desperation, my patience long tried now exhausted, I resolve to turn my quarters into an impregnable fortress. I fasten doors, at each window place a Prep with a pail of water, While at the head of the stairs, with a club in each hand, one is stationed. Then with derisive shouts I dare them to fight if they can, — Senior, or Sophomore, or Freshman; bully, or bragger, or coward. On to the fray they advance, and crowd close round the door-way; Then at a given signal a deluge of water descended On the heads of the men below, entirely unwarned, undefended. When the water at last subsided, and land appeared through its billows. Not a man could be seen, though we looked for them out of our windows. All had been washed away in that unlooked-for deluge of water. Soaked over night in this flood, the starch taken out of his nature. The Freshman is far more humble, and seems a quite different creature. Now, when we meet on the campus, he acts in a manner quite striking — Never alludes to the rumpus, but ignores my presence entirely. And now I pursue in peace my course through school ' s checkered pathway ; Freshmen no longer, at night, blow their tin horns round my doorway; Only at a distance we hear the noise and din of the battle, The terror of which would be dared by a child still holding its rattle. 100 f[MO(N[G THE IJEaVEN-DWELLERS. Having happened around at my boarding-house a little earlier than usual, I threw myself into an easy chair by the fire. Scarcely had I settled into a comfortable position when my whole surroundings became changed, as though by magic. Beautiful strains of music greeted my ears; golden ornaments, purple tapestry and dazzling brightness surrounded me on all sides. Ambrosial odors filled the air and sparkling nectar mockingly tempted my mortal taste. I fell upon my knees, feeling that I must be in the abode of the Immortals upon the summit of high Olympus. As I knelt thus, my mind filled with thoughts of the mighty Gods before whom Greece and Rome had worshipped, and wonder- ing much that I, a mortal, had been allowed to enter this sacred abode, a being entered of haughty bearing, yet in no way su- perior to our common mortals. I then concluded that Zeus must be giving a feast to the poor mortals, and that I had been unconciously summoned. At this point other beings entered, and in all respects treated the first comer as their Lord, one even ad- dressing him as Father of Gods and of Men. This then was that mighty God, ' ' Jupiter Tonans ' ' to the Romans and Death - dealing Zeus to the Greeks! What a pity that Homer and Vergil and Cicero should waste their homage on such as he. Here my astonishment was broken in upon by the hurried entrance of a messenger, who whispered something into the ear of Zeus. He immediately nodded to the curly headed little cup- bearer, who nodding and smiling in unison with Zeus handed the latter a cup of nectar. Then Zeus, followed by the whole com- pany, hastened away and I, anxious to learn, hurried after. Down, down we hastened the deep descent of high Olympus, across valley, hill and plane, and mighty flood, until at last we halted in what I soon recognized as a cornfield in the suburbs of Lewis- burg. 101 When all had formed themselves into a circle, the haughty Zeus said in words too flowery for the common ear, that a little God had been born, and they were assembled for the purpose of christening him. At once a great commotion arose as to whether he should be called Zeus II. or Apollo II., and in order that the infant God be not disturbed, they withdrew a short distance. The infant God, Avho evidently was a mortal about to be metamorphosed into an Immortal, having been disappointed by the ordinary appearance of the Heaven-dwellers, seized this opportunity to run. The God ' s followed in quick pursuit, call- ing mournfully. It seemed that mortal air did not agree with the Immortals for they ran laboriously. As I ran along, a little to the rear, I saw a convulsive tremor seize each God and imme- diately a wonderful change was wrought. In each of the Gods before me I recognized the familiar form of a school- fellow. Astonished at this revelation I gave a tremendous start and found myself standing in the middle of the floor surrounded by a ring of laughing schoolmates. Moore remarked, Why old felloiu you have been sleeping, have you not? I said I believed I had been dreaming, and re- tired to my seat. 102 ( RINtiS.

The Society ' s own publications number several hundred excellent volumes, adapted to all ages and tastes. In addition all the books of leading publishers are carefully examined by a competent committee, and those found to be suited to Baptist Schools are kept con.stantly in stock. From the combined list, numbering about 1 200 volumes, a guaranteed selection can be made to suit every requirement. No other publisher or dealer can give this guarantee to Baptist Sunday Schools. The Society ' s discount is as liberal as any offered on the same class of books ; and where any of our selected libraries can be included in an order, it will be found to be more liberal. At all our five houses competent persons have charge of the selection of libraries, and are at all times ready to advise with committees, either personally or by coiTespondennce, when the selection is not left entirely with us, as is often done.
