Indulgent Reader : — This book is not a volume of sermons, nor a col- lege text-book, although, if rightly interpreted and applied, it might effect the purpose of either and do 3 ' ou more good than both. Neither is it an enlarged edition of the Grumblers ' Gazette, however much it may, per- chance, reveal your weakness. Suppose its thorns slioidd prick you ? That will only help you to appreciate more fully the beauty and fragrance of the rose. L ' Agenda is, or at least it is intended to be, a chronicle of Bucknell for the past year, in her every mood, and in every department of her life. The distracted editors painfully realize how far it comes short of this ideal. Still it is our best attempt, and as such we commend it to your merciful consider- ation. One of the many things which have caused us sleepless nights of late is the fact that we cannot give publicity and prominence to all who are clamor- ing for it. Man}- amateur poetic effusions we have been compelled to con- sign to oblivion because we do not carry a sufficientl} ' heavy life insurance to publish them. But, because, gentle reader, we refu.se to print your poetry or accept 3 ' our sketches, do not suppose we do not love you. Believ e us, we do, and our very silence concerning you and yours may be the loudest dec- laration of our affections. Since we have presumed thus confidentially to address you, we might add, as indeed we have already intimated, that we are by no means responsi- ble for everything in this book. That very article which causes your heart to leap for joy and makes the smiles chase each other round your shapely mouth like faries playing in the sun ; or, contrariwise, that point which causes your spirit to melt with rage and makes passions hunt each other through your fiery soul like furies writhing in the pit, that very thing, we say, may have been, and doubtless icas written by some kind and pitiful friend who has no official connection with this publication. Certainly you will not blame us if we thus publicly express our sincere thanks to all who have in any way contributed to the success of this book and the relief of our agonies. One request of you, fond reader, and we are through. Should we, as an unavoidable result of these our arduous labors, ' ' shuffle off this mortal coil, or, in a moment of editorial mental aberration, be driven to attempt uncompromised self-annihilation, will you kindly see that a wooden slab is erected to our memory bearing these words ? — Here lies L ' Agknda ' s youthful Board ; May rest from writiug e ' er attend them. Their troubles came in such a horde. That they were driven here to end them. Very gratefully. The Editors. THE COLLEGE DEPARTMENT. COURSES OF STUDY. I. CLASSICAL COURSE. n. PHILOSOPHICAL COURSE.

And welcome leisure woos me To shun life ' s crowded homes? It is not a propos, but the lines came strumming up from an old Dublin University magazine of more than forty years ago. They came up, I say, as I sat here thinking of the First Commencement, and wondering why the dates of Commencements have been variously changed. We who stay here while you are gone, and stroll through the grounds, of summer evenings, have often wondered why you go and leave Xh precincts when they are at their loveliest — the air the balmiest — the rich, green shade the freshest. Ut palata sic Judicia. ' ' It suits the world, I can see — and the words quoted come to help settle the point —but it would seem that a vacation of August and febrile September, until the crisp frost of October stirs vigor in the blood, would be better. Our Commencement was the 20th of August, 1S51. Somewhere about 1856 they were changed to the third week of July. The twentieth Com- mencement, in 1870, was changed to the last week of June. We had a chance to celebrate the Fourth of July at college, which they haven ' t now. We celebrated the Fourth of July, 1850. I am thumbing my old program now, with its memoranda of the heads of discourse — sly remarks to some companion, I don ' i remember whom, with his reply — No ! — It looks as if the replies are in feminine characters — 71 ' importe. Professor S. W. Taylor read the Scripture. We all joined in the national song, Let every heart rejoice and sing, etc. Carroll — wait a moment. I am reminded we were not all there. One ' s eye was too much shaded, although he was to take a prominent part in the singing, and another had a crick in his back. That x8 was a glorious Fourth ! We took several days in preparation and, decorated. There was a long board-walk swung across the chasm of Limestone run, along the edge of the wood of the Seminary, along by Bucknell Hall, and up the hill to the Academy building — the only one then built. We had arches of spruce, especially elaborate across the causeway. Ah ! that was a happy evening — the twilight of the evening of the 3d, as we strolled with the girls, who had helped all day in the decorations. What a delightful mem- ory—that third floor of the Academy — the making of the wreaths — the handsome men and the beautiful women— a jolly party, whose fun, and wit and brilliancy sparkle away down here at the end of the long vista of forty years. It is no dim picture, that afternoon, as the decorations were completed, and the westering sun shot his slanting rays in the windows upon that gay group of workers— the heightened tinge upon the cheek, the deepened color of the eye, the soft, shy glance which told that many of those young hearts came very close together that afternoon. We strolled in the twilight to see how our arches looked, and perhaps some waited for the moonlight— and we went to the ice cream saloon — when it was noised around that the town boys were going out to tear down the arches, and an ominous gathering about a certain alley and shop gave the assurance. The girls were hurried home. It was like the Duchess ' ball at Waterloo. The students all boarded in town, and the runners summoned the clans to the Misses Black, on Water street ; and when Miss Polly exclaimed, Dear me, what ' s the matter? and handsome Andy Gregg explained that we were gathering in defense of our rights, she approved. We got out in time, and were duly posted. Toward the noon of night a dark cloud covered the moon, and we heard the tramp of what seemed quite a body of men. As they approached the end of the causeway they saw us ; and there was a consultation and considerable delay. Then there was a whoop, and they flung themselves on the first arch. There was a heated battle, and they were beaten off, and we thought we were victors, when a howl came out of the woods. We were attacked in the rear, and the attack in front was renewed. It lasted some time, but we staid by our arches all night, and went home early in the morning to dress and get patched up for the day. (Note : — I would like to describe that fight. There was 19 fun, broken noses and broken bottles, black eyes and dilapidated raiment.) That is the reason why two of us did not join in that song. Well, Carroll Bilting read the Declaration of Independence. One orator was uncertain, owing to the tumults of the night, whether he could remem- ber his oration, and wrote the heads on his program. Poor, faded, old paper! How many memories you bring up ! How you have blotted out the first Connnencement day ! Ten years later I met many of the companions of our early fray in a more serious war. Some laid down their lives. There are a few left, with ivy and laurel about their brows. Jim Lane ' s exuberant eloquence had for its theme The Declaration of Independence, and graceful Johnny Taggart, whose thrilling tone and pol- ished sentence I well recall, dilated on A Country ' s Memorials and Their Influences. Lane became a celebrated lawyer and judge. Johnny Taggart died in the army. Charles Hayes was a brilliant staff officer, his later study of civil engineering making him very efficient. But if you wish a detail of the first Commencement you must wait while one of that date lingers a while among his old companions. A YEAR ' S PROGRESS. True to the prediction of last year ' s!, ' Agenda, we are now called upon to record a degree of improvement unparalleled in the history of the University. The strong, steady hand of the new administration has been felt in every department. Advancement in every direction. I. FINANCIALLY. The sudden growth of the College department from 128 to 145 students necessitates an increase in the teaching force. The stupendous task of raising $100,000 to meet this requirement was completed July ist, 1892. This was the greatest triumph in the University ' s histor3 inasmuch as it had been, for a decade before, dependent on the gifts of a single individual, while this vast sum represents the interest of many. The funds of the University have been further increased by the acquisition of the M. B. Livingstone fund, amounting to over $11,000, which is to be used in liquidating the tuition of a definite number of students received by the Pennsylvania Baptist Educa- tion Society. In addition to all this, $500 have been received from the William H. Bachus estate, to be dovoted to purchasing books for the College library. A part of the bequest of the late Silas Evans has also been added to the permanent funds of the University. II. IN THE CURRICULA. It was, however, in the College curricula that the greatest changes were made manifest. The elective system was greatly expanded. This flexibility in choice in the studies of the last years in college marks a great stride for- ward, and gives the student an opportunity, if he so desires, to do part of the work of a professional school while yet in college. The nev electives include Hebrew, Constitutional Law, Roman Law, Latin, Greek, French, German, Animal Histology, Animal Embr3 ' Ology, Plant Histology, and English Bible. The last named of these deserves special notice, since it involves the endow- ment of a new chair at an expense of $40,000, which is now rapidly being :aised. By this step Bucknell has placed herself on a level with many lead- ing American colleges, which very recently have given the Bible its well deserved place in the curricula. III. IN THE FACULTY. The teaching force of the College has been somewhat changed during the year. The resignation of Professor Clarence Fassett Castle, Ph. D., was received and reluctantly accepted. The chair of Greek, thus made vacant, is now very efficiently filled by Prof. Thomas Franklin Hamblin, A. M. Mr. Lincoln Hulley, A. M., resigned last commencement to accept a fellowship and prosecute his studies in the University of Chicago. His place is now filled by Mr. Llewellyn Phillips, A. B., of the class of 1892. IV. NEW PRIZES. Two new prizes became available this year. (i). A prize in chemistry, given by W. C. Hollopeter, M. D., of the class of 1874, to be awarded to the student at graduation who shall have done the best work in chemistry, regard being had both to the amount and quality of the work. (2). The Sophomore declamation prize, to be awarded to that student who delivers the best declamation at the annual contest. V. IN THE GYMNASIUM. F ' or the first time since the erection of the Tustin Gymnasium, gymnas- tics became compulsory this year. The.success of this new venture is mani- fested in the large classes and regular attendance on drill days. Two suc- cessful athletic exhibitions were given during the year — one on Washing- ton ' s birthday, and one at the close of the middle term. Upon entering the gymnasium each student is carefully measured and the proper work pre- scribed by the Physical Directors, assisted by W. L. Gerhart, M. D., of Uewisburg, formerly of the class of 1886. %:t jfeniop C b . Motto : Fairc Sans Dircy Colors : Orange and Black. Yell: N-I-N-E-T-Y T-H-R-K-E. Rah ! Rah ! Rah !

To tell the truth, we have as yet no histor} ' which can with certainty be called such. History may be made yesterday and to-day, but it cannot be known yesterday or to- day, nor written. It is always written to-morrow ; hence, for our true his- tory you must wait for that to-morrow. We cannot tell what others think of us, for such material as we have we must reject as not good historical evidence. Modesty forbids us to say what we think of ourselves. We might speak of what we think of each other, but unfortunately, we couldn ' t think of publishing those sentiments in a book not copyrighted. What a few of us think of each other would fill a volume ; for it is something surprising how much a person can think of another in three years, if he doesn ' t let other things distract his attention too much. We came here, of course, as freshmen. For a description of these we refer you to other pages of this book. We were just like them, though you may not think it. We grew up just as they did. And yet we did some things differently. We, too, came in contact with preceding and following classes. But we overcame them with kindness and heaped such coals of fire upon their heads as to singe their hair. The preceding class groaned in spirit because we did not put up a flag, and the following class became frantic because we did not take theirs down. They were almost consumed by a desire to steal the whole class from our Sophomore banquet. But we left desire consume. We were philosophers even then, and did not let a trifling banquet disturb our calm life. Now, what are some of the things of which we are proud? First, in that we take things philosophically. In the second place, we, severally and collectively, are proud of our class sisters, collectively and severallJ We believe in co-education. Finally, we have a peculiar pride in L ' Agenda. Through our efforts it was again revived after a four years ' slumber. 26 How have we compared in other respects? Do we quarrel? No. Flunk ? With so much grace that it is a pleasure to behold. Athletes ? Some of the best. We never were afraid to play a class football match when- ever we had enough members to make up a team. Rank in scholarship ? We don ' t pay much attention to this ; but since we entered we took in suc- cession all the Freshman, Sophomore and Junior prizes, and will propably receive all the honors to be awarded to the Senior class this year. Bangs ? Thank heavens, we can at last boast of having one who, though late in the course, has developed these. In love ? Some are, and the rest of us would like to be. However, in comparison with such cases as we have, ordinary love affairs are but hollow mockery. Indeed, we know what we are, but not yet what we shall be. Until then, our history is incomplete. Until then, we do not even know how to deter- mine the importance of the different factors of our college life. We, too, as we bid farewell, have hopes, far exceeding our fears or misgivings. Their realization shall determine what meaning the class of ' 93 will have for its alvta inatc} ' . Historian. 27 jLiniop i . Motto : O pcrd tout le temps qn ' oii prut iiiieiiA- employer.

Rome Wiis not built in a day. neither did the tribe of ' 94 spring full- fledged into existence on the day when they were first recognized by other tribes. Their real history, to be sure, began in the fall of the year 1890. Prior to that date, lay a shadowy period, in which it is scarcely possible to distinguish between myths, legends and facts. It is not within the scope of the present work, however, to more than touch upon this period. But in passing, a word of warning to the reader seems expedient : Since much that is really mythical and legendary is commonly regarded as well founded fact, the fair-minded reader should be extremely cautious about accepting the truth of any statements concerning events, which happened earlier than the date before mentioned, (September, 1890.) Of this much only are we well assured. That on September 11, 1890, the tribe of ' 94 was permanently settled in the land of their adoption. That their population was forty-six souls. That, of this population, five were autochthones, seventeen had been domiciled in the land for a long period, five came out of the country of the Keystonites, three from the southern coast of Jersey, three from the distant Sharon and thirteen from the uttermost parts of the earth, allured by the richness and fatness of the land they were to subdue and possess. Never before had the land been more fruitful, and in each succeeding epoch new resources were discovered and new powers applied for their development. The history of the tribe, as it grew and flourished in this favored land, divides itself naturally into three great epochs. I. The Age of Assimila- tion. II. The Age of Growth and Conquest. III. The Golden Age. First Period — Age of Assimilation — Sept. 11, 1890, to June 24, 1891 The ' g s become acclimated — They contend with each other for the victory in declama- tion — Mac Innis astounds the ivhole tribe — They contend ivith each other for the vic- tory in intellectual attainments — Patris Genio sollemnia dona fej ' ebant — They plant their standard — The ' 93 ' s confounded — A series of single combats planned — 9 .? victo- rious — The tribe of ' g joins a league against the ' gi Semites — Tlie ' gi Semites totally destroyed. Once fairly settled, laws were enacted and enforced and the tribe gradu- They celebrate funeral games to the shade of their father. 30 ally began to adapt themselves to each other and to their surroundings. The first event which attracted their universal interest was the contest in declamation. It was then that all the tribe learned, with astonishment, of the treason of one of their number who confessed that on the preceding night he had held moonlight conference with one of the enemy. When the tribe had recovered somewhat from the shock and had rebuked the offender, who seemed penitent, the contest proceeded. Heysham and Miss Guthrie were declared the victors. Then a chosen few, who had been able to stand the fire of daily recita- tions unflinchingly, were subjected to another ordeal, called the Finn prize examinations. Only two came out unscathed— Mr. Strayer and Miss Bartol. When the 22d of February drew near, the tribe determined to celebrate funeral games in honor of the illustrious father of their country. They usher in the day of festivity by erecting a flag. This arouses the anger of the neighboring tribe of ' 93, who declare that their rights have been infringed. The dispute is settled by a series of single combats between the champions of the two tribes. In two of the three contests the ' 94 ' s are victorious. After these exciting and unlooked-for events, solemn rites in honor of the dead are observed and the noble deeds of the father of their country are firmly fixed in the memory of the ' 94 ' s. The last important event in this period was the attack upon the tribe of ' gi. which culminated in their complete dispersion. In this attack, the ' 94 ' s stood on neutral ground. But their attitude towards that venturesome tribe, the ' 91 Semites, was not that of neutrality. Against them the ' 94 ' s joined a league, which attacked and utterly destroyed them. Second Period-Age of Growth and Conquest-Sept. 10, 1891, to June 22, ,892. Mac Innis deserts and sends a parting volley A second sham-battle fou rttt bv the reserves-Numerous plots for tire destruction of the tribe foiled-Important discover- ies- They celebrate the lectisterniiim-Petty jealousy of the gfs-A galaxy of orators and poets appears in the heavens-Dawn of a nezv literarv era-First anniversary of J ' e ' sollemnia dona--Impressment of Davis-Terrifc battle-Terms of the treaty ilarf are ceases. A shadow fell upon the tribe at the beginning of the second period. It was caused by the desertion of Mac Innis, who, just as he left, fired into their 31 midst a volley of watermelons, which, however, did not result fatally in any instance. Emerging shorth from the shadow of this calamity, the ' 94 ' s commissioned the reserve forces to engage in a second contest in declamation. The elocutionary ability of the tribe was thus fully demonstrated. Several attempts were made during the fall of ' 91 to annihilate the tribe, which was then engaged in making researches in the domain of chemistry. All these plots, however, were foiled by our staunch friend and ally, Prof. Owens. Many important discoveries were made, chief among v ' hich was the possibility of disastrous effects being produced by the presence of solid matter in waste-pipes. In order to show forth their power and greatness, the tribe resolved to hold a grand and solemn feast. The ' 95 ' s, like Eris of old, tried to throw into their midst an element of discord. But, beyond and above the range of the enemy, the ' 94 ' s were feasting in harmony and happiness, when a galaxy of orators and poets of brightest radiance appeared, dazzling the sight, but adding new charms to the feast. The ' 94 ' s had planned to celebrate the first anniversar} ' of the sollemnia dona with imposing ceremonies, but their enemies, the ' 95 ' s, ever on the alert to do them mischief, setting at naught the law of nations, impressed into their service that member of ' 94 who had been appointed to conduct the funeral games. Other causes for dispute also arose, which resulted in a terrific battle, which was waged long and fiercely, neither side gaining nor yielding ground. Though, by the terms of the treaty, the ' 94 ' s did not receive justice, so great was the fear of their enemies thereafter that they- suffered no more from invasions and assaults. Third Period— Golden Age — Sept. 8, 1892, to June 2, 1893. Euiigration — Arts ami sciences flotirish — Mechanics siiiiplijied — A utan found capable of solving the problem of heights — The ' 94 ' s acquire great linguistic facility — The second anniversary of the ' ' sollemnia dona ' ' — Logic develops their mental acumen, so that they can not only derive direct conclusions, but also detennine probabilities. With their population reduced to 30, the ' 94 ' s entered upon the third epoch of their national existence, which proved to be so glorious that it has not inappropriately been styled the Golden Age. Warfare having ceased, the arts and sciences flourished. Mechanics under the skillful management of the •94 ' s, became an easy and interesting subject, the simplicity of which may be seen in the following original definition of one of the most abstract mechanical conceptions: Force is that which produces motion, but all forces do not produce motion. For the first time in the history of the world, a man was found capable of solving the problem of heights. In this epoch, the whole tribe acquired great linguistic facility, being able to execute -Les trois paites poulesr with all possible variations. The second recurrence of the anniversary of the sollemnia dona the tribe, appreciating their hardly-won immunity from strife, observed with religious zeal. One more triumph remains to be recorded. Logic having wonderfully developed their mental acumen, every one of the tribe was able to clothe a fallacy in sheep ' s clothing so -that even his brother wolves could not recog- nize him. But one of ' 94 surpassed this extraordinary accomplishment for Lalvin developed such remarkable insight that he could argue from mere coincidences to probabilities in an unbroken CoTTiN-uity of sylloc ism 33 Motto : ' irtutc non verbis.

Gentle reader, trace with me, if you please, the history of ' 95 through the brief space of two years and mark her deeds of valor and her steps of ad- vancement. Compare her achievements in intellect, skill and design with that of those around her, and draw your own conclusion. Mark well her environments ; take into consideration her numbers, and then judge. If per- chance you know not to whom our success is due, ascribe it to those old Greek and Roman divinities, whose favor we courted, if not in heart, in class room at least. ' Twas early in the month of September, 1891, that we, as a class, came together to enjoy the intellectual and physical advantages offered at Bucknell. As is natural for strangers in strange places, our first desire was to take our bear- ings. Here we were, away off in Lewisburg, a new people in a new country and with new surroundings. On our eastern border was the broad, shallow and deceitful Susquehanna ; to the west lay the beautiful vallej ' of the same name ; above us were the Softs ; beneath, the Preps. But, notwith- standing our peculiar surroundings, we gradually became accustomed to them, and soon fell to business, our main object in going to college. Our course was a smooth one for several months ; unbroken by any ex- traordinary excitement, except a small game of give and take with the Sophomores, in which we gave and they took, having no alternative. Time passed on ; we were already far advanced in our middle term and had begun to think college life was not so bad as it was made out to be. But then as February 2 2d drew near, that day on which it was customary to un- furl the Union Jack in honor of Old King Cole, our spirits began to ascend and our hearts to palpitate. And then began a series of deep-laid schemes, the execution of which made us the rightful rulers of the lower half of the college. It was — How could we put up our flag, and how guard it ? and how this, that and the other ? But why lacerate the public mind with a rehearsal of our plans and their execution ! Why recount a second time our wonderful exploits? You ' all know them — how that little flag did wonders and how that contest on the campus, despite the unequal numbers and the six inches 36 of mud and water, was not so one sided after all. You can not forget how pleasantly a Sophomore debater and some Freshmen spent the after ' Jioon of the22d at Sunbury; neither does the score of those base ball games nor that record on field day entirely escape your notice. But enough ; suffice it to say that, on looking back over our Freshman year, we could not help but feel satisfied with its results, intellectually, morally and physically. Summer vacation is over. We leave our various employments handling the plow, leaning over the pulpit, or flirting with the summer girl, and return to take up our work again as Sophomores. As we assemble for prayers, we look around us and see— great swarms of Freshmen, of all sizes and shapes big, little and indiff-erent ; Juniors, not so many in number, but making up in experience ; Seniors, least in number, but greatest in intellect. When we began to consider our position, and compare our numbers with that of our opponents, we were at first dismayed. But recalling to mind how Xenophon, with his ha ndful of Greeks, completely vanquished Persia ' s milhons, we took courage, and resolved to die or do something else, if need be, in upholding the honor of the class. Now, it chanced to be rumored, during the early part of the year that we would likely be challenged to a test of strength on the football field At a glance, our chances seemed few. as we noticed the avoirdupois capacity of some ' 96ers. But, after careful consideration, we came to the conclusion that 96 wouldn ' t be in it. In the meantime, ' 96 had also looked the matter over, and after playing a few practice games with the Preps, came to about the same conclusion. Early in 1893, ' 96 changed her plan of operation. Strategy should now be her stronghold. So they put their heads together, acting on the theorv that two heads are better than one, if both are cabbage-heads, and laid plans concerning the coming Soph banquet. Had ' 95 been asleep and uncon- scious of her imminent peril (?), facts might be somewhat different But you know the old story of the dog and the rabbit ; ' 95 was awake and alive to her situation. So she concluded to go fishing, in spite of the winter weather, using for bait a few banquet crumbs. Well, stranger, vou ought to have seen the string of suckers she caught. They were of all sizes rano- ing anywhere from 9 to 6 inches in length. Elated at her success, she trie ' d It again, and, mirabile dictu, she got a better haul than before. But that ' s 37 neither here, there nor yonder. The Sophs, had their banquet, but when, where and how ? that ' s the question. For the remainder of our history, we are indebted to Farmer Plowshoe, an eye-witness of the proceedings of February 22d. It was after his return home, that evening, that the following conversation ensued : Wal, Sam, said the farmer, as he drove up, you ' ve been wantin ' to go to college for some time back, but me an ' your mother hev been kinder op- posin ' your notion. But it ' s settled now, Samule ; I ' ve had me eyes opened to-day, and your agoin ' , if one of them cows has to go to git you there. You see, while I was at town to-day, some feller, with ' 95 on hisself, asked me to come up to the Gymnasium, as there was goin ' to be some interestin ' exer- cises there. Wal, hevin nothin ' much to do, I excepted his invite. When we got there, they were purty near ready to start, so I hadn ' t much time to observe. Howsomever, I found that this Gymnasium looked lots like our barn, only it hed rugs on the floor. I saw, too, a lot of wim- men there ; so I asked my friend who they was, and what they was adoin ' there. He said they was Sems and had come over to see the fun at the be- quest of the ' 96ers. Just at this point, the exercises begun. First was vaulting, as my friend said. Two fellers jumped around one side of them- selves and then jumped through themselves, and then a lot of fellers and my friend yelled, as he said, because ' 95 had one. Next two fellers high jumped, and purty soon the ' 95ers yelled again. And then they had runnin ' an ' kickin ' and boxin ' ; and I don ' t know what all ; and every time but once them ' 95ers yelled like awful. By this time it was noon ; and as me and my friend parted for dinner, he asked me to come to the debate in the afternoon, and I said I would. And as I was agoin ' down street, I hered some feller say, We purty near got in a mess about that flag affair, and if that Register gets a hold of us, he ' ll make it purty lively. ' I looked around and saw they were ' 96ers, but, as I didn ' t know anything about a flag, I went on, hearin ' only something about ' checkers ' and ' old maids. ' Wal, in the afternoon, I went to the hall and heard four fellers debate on closin ' the World ' s Fair on Sunday and thought it was purty good, con- siderin ' . I saw my friend there, and he said they had the poor side and would hev to work to git it. Anyway, at the close of the meetin ' . Professor Perrine announced that the judges hed decided in favor of the negative with honorable mention of the affirmative and then you ort to a hered them ' 95ers. Now, Sammy, I ' ve made up my mind to send you to college, but be sure an ' join them ' 95ers, if you go, or you won ' t make anything out of your- self. Historian. 38 Motto : Spcctemur Agendo.

The one is the opening of the great University at Chicago ; the other is the en- trance in Bucknell University of the class of ' 96. All the world is familiar with the history of the one event and soon will be with the history of the other. As history is a record of facts, the historian sub- mits the following to the indulgent reader, which ' ' not to know argues him- self unknown. Fact No. I. — The class of ' 96 has fifty-nine members. All these are divided into three parts f and differ among themselves in language, costumes and obedience to the laws of the Proffs.t Not only do the members of ' 96 gather from the North and the South, from the East and the West, and from both sides of the Atlantic, but even from the far-famed country beyond the Rising Sun.§ Fact No. 2. — Even before ' 96 had bidden adieu to her preparatory instructors, the Board of Trustees and Faculty began to make preparations for her entrance into college. The endowment fund was increased in order to enlarge the capacit}- of the University. A gymnasium was built for us to exercise in ; also a fine laboratory was erected for our use. Fact No. 3. — Before the advent of ' 96 the literary societies of the college were dead and would have been buried long since had there been mone}- enough in their treasuries to have paid the funeral expenses. But now, behold the transformation ! The youthful blood of ' 96 has been infused thro the dr}- bones of the societies, and once more the halls resound with the old-time ring. Vide catalog ' 92- ' 93. fClassica, Philosophica, Scieiitifica. I From the popular novel entitled Seize-Her. fi vide catalog address of R-y ds. 42 Fact No. 4.— Soon after our entrance into college, the vSophs (being by interpretation a class of beings who ought to know more than they do), as it appears from what they tried to do, rather than from what they really accom- plished, thought we ought to be bumped. They knew very well that they couldn ' t handle us as a class, so they determined to take us one by one until they had accomplished their nefarious design. As they couldn ' t use to advantage their whole class to bump one man, a certain few were deputized with self-imposed authority to carry out the work. The Catalinian conspira- tors, not knowing just how their scheme would turn out, decoyed one or two Freshmen to join them, so that, if they were detected, their secret band would not be regarded as a Sophomore affair. Wonderful display of wisdom ! For a short time their diabolical scheme worked to perfection. But after two or three midnight entertainments in the cellar and elsew here, the Fresh- men, who had been duped into joining the Sophs, tumbled to the fact that things were not what they seemed. Consequently, before the next date for displaying their skill in bumpology had arrived, plans were formed to treat the Sophs to some of their own sauce. About 10 o ' clock that night the members of ' 96 quietly left their rooms, having donned costumes suitable for the occasion, and secreted themselves near the gymnasium. The Sophs, owing to their lack of wisdom, failed to catch on and pro- ceeded to carry out the program for the night. Having gained possession of their victim, they led the way to the East Wing hatchway. Confident in the suc- cess of their deeply-laid plot, they at once entered the cellar. Bang ! bang ! ! slammed the cellar doors, and the Sophs, to their own discomfort, discovered that they were alone. The decoyed Freshmen and the victim had escaped. In- stantly the alarm cry of ' 96 was sounded. The members of ' 96, who had been lying in wait, forthwith surrounded the college building. They ' ' sprang up from every blade of concealing grass. f The Sophs were caught in their own trap. After keeping them cellared for a couple of hours, we permitted them to come out. A more chagrined lot of Sophs you never saw. And Vide Standard Dictionary, (not yet out of pres.sl. page 549, for full explanation to this term t Vide October issue of the r,uve,s,ly Mi, ror for an account of this affair, written bv a person uho has more imagination than veracity. 43 mad? Why, some of them were mad enough to have bitten a ten-penny nail in two. Fact No. 5. — No more bumping since then. Fact No. 6. — To even the casual observer the class of ' 96 presents man} ' points of superiority over the Sophs. Lack of space, modesty and con- sideration for the feelings of the Sophs deter us from making further state- ments on this topic. Historian. {Continued in next issue.) SPECIAL STUDENTS.

Penns3 ' lvania Gamma Chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity was established in the year 1855. It may be numbered among the first chapters established by the fraternity, as it received the fifth charter that was granted. Those most interested in its establishment were lyCwis K. Evans, Esq., of Three Rivers, Mich., and Joseph G. Burchinal, Esq., of Smithfield, Pa. The chapter prospered until the year 187 1, when it requested of the general fraternity that its charter be placed in the hands of its alumni members. This was owing to difficulties which existed between the college authorities and the two fraternities represented here. Accordingly, the chapter was controlled by its alumni members until 1880, when the charter was again entrusted to an active chapter. From that date until the present time Pennnsylvania Gamma Chapter has flourished, and holds a foremost position among the fraternities represented at Bucknell. The general character of Pennsylvania Gamma ma} ' best be judged by the character of her alumni. In the educational world, we boast of such men as Profes.sors F. Loomis, Ph. D.; W. C. Bartol, and W. G. Owens, of the faculty of Bucknell University, as well as six members of our board of trustees ; the late J. G. Owens, of Harvard University ; Profes.sor G. M. Philips, Ph. D., of West Chester State Normal School ; and Professor M. G. Evans, of Crozer Theological Seminary. In the political world, we are rep- resented by ex-Senator John I. Mitchell, Congressman S. P. Wolverton and numerous members of the State Legislature. In the law courts, we are rep- resented by the Hon. Alfred Hayes and J. Merrill Einn, Esq., of Lewisburg ; Martin Bell, Esq., of Huntingdon; Ernest Tustin, Esq., of Philadelphia, and Howard E- Calder, Esq., of Harrisburg. In the pulpit, we are repre- sented by Rev. J. S. Kennard, D. D., of Chicago; Rev. John Humpstone, D. D., of Brooklyn; Rev. A. J. Rowland, D. D., of Baltimore, and by that peerless warbler of .sacred .song — Rev. Robert Eowry, D. D., of Plain- field, N. J. We have an alumni of about 250 members, many of whom death has relea.sed. In the Civil War twenty-five of our alumni enlLsted in the Union cause and held honorable positions in the army. Six of these sacrified their lives, among whom were R. M. Bell, lieutenant of the Seventy-sixth Penn- sylvania Volunteers, of Bellwood, Pa., and J. Gilbert Beaver, captain Fifty-first Pennsylvania Volunteers, of Lewi.sburg, a brother to the honorable ex-governor of Penn.sylvania — James A. Beaver. Thus the result of the fostering care of Pennsylvania Gamma Chapter of Phi Kappa P.si is seen in her alumni. 46 uwiuwu.i PHI KAPPA PSI. PENNSYLVANIA GAMMA CHAPTER. Fratres in Facultate.

It was the outgrowth of a secret society called Iota, which was founded in 1861 by seven students, among whom was T. A. K. Gessler, D. D. Dr. Gessler, while serving in Camp Curtin, near Harrisburg, in the emergency of 1863, observed on the breast of a soldier the white cross of Sigma Chi. Having conversed with the soldier, Dr. Gessler decided that it would be advantageous for the Iotas to unite with this society. A conference was held, and it was decided that on returning to college in the Fall the Iota society should apply for a charter. This was granted and sixteen men were initiated, followed shortly by the fourteen remaining members of Iota. Of this number some have distinguished themselve s notably, such as Chauncey B. Ripley, hh. D., and Alfred Taylor, LL. B. In 1865 there were a number of theological students in the chapter who believed that the continual state of opposition to the college authorities, in which the chapter existed, was out of keeping with their profession. They argued that the only way to settle the trouble was to abolish the chapter. A resolution to that effect was presented b} them, but was lost by a vote of fourteen to nine. Then there followed fourteen long years of faculty perse- cution. Every effort was made to root out Kappa. Every student, on pre- senting himself at college, was required to sign a pledge that he had not, nor would not, join a fraternity. During the first few years of facult} ' opposition the existence of Kappa was precarious, but after 1869 there was always a brave and faithful band about her altar. The Philadelphia convention, in 1870, was attended by Kappa in a body. The chapter returned to Lewis- burg with enthusiasm sufficient for every obstacle. With the advent of a new president, in 1879, a more liberal policy prevailed. Since that year the chapter has been prosperous and peaceful. Its social .standing in the town has always been the chapter ' s pride. Such has been the life of Kappa Chapter of Sigma Chi — a striking illustration of success which is attained even through per.secution. SIGMA CHI. KAPPA CHAPTER. Resident Hembers. Hon. H. M. McCi.urk.

In the year 1881 the question of establishing a chapter of the fraternity here was agitated, and on January 28th, 1882, the charter was obtained, with George S. Lenhart, J. C. Nissley, H. S. Foringer, C. B. Furman, H. K. Nissley and J. P Currin as charter members. The first meetings were held in a room in the building on the corner of Fifth and Market streets. As in all new enterprises, there were many difficulties to be overcome at first and much patience and courage was needed, but very .soon the chapter began to grow, to absorb the best men from the students and to mount upward on the ladder of college standing. Soon the meeting room became too small, and the chapter moved to a room in the Wolfe building on the corner of Third and Market streets. Here the chapter remained until the Spring of 1890, when it moved into the adjoining room, on the corner, for the .sake of having more pleasant quarters. This room also became too small for the . ever- increasing membenship, and in the winter of 1892-3 the old room was con- nected by an arch, doubling the .size of the hall, giving a view on three sides and making Delta the posse.s.sor of the commodious and home-like quarters which .she now occupies. The youth of the chapter necessarily makes the number of her alumni small. Tho.se who will lea ' e with the cla.ss of 93 bring the number up to 62. Among them are Rev J. S. Braker, of the Temple Bapti.st Church, of Philadelphia ; Rev. Lincoln Hulley, a fellow in the University of Chicago ; Rev. Frank H Cooper, of Lambertville, N. J.; Rev. F. M. Goodchild, of Philadelphia ; R. C H. Catterall, a fellow in the Univer.sity of Chicago ; Rev. S. Z. Batten, of Manayunk ; Profe.s.sor F. H. Starkey, of South Jer.sey Institute, and Rev. Charles Soars, of Bridgeport, Pa. The present membership of the chapter is twenty-two, the largest for several years. The pa.st has been full of honor. Delta ' s men have taken more than one-half of all the college prizes and honors, and have been men who com- manded the respect and confidence of their fellow-.students. The outlook for the future prosperity and advancement of the chapter is very bright. 50 DELTA CHAPTER. Established January 28, 1882. Active Members. John H. Forksmax. Arthur F. Gardnp:r.

Motto : The evangelization of the ccorld in this ireneration. The Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions had its origin at the first Student Conference called by D. L. Moody at Northfield, Mass., in July, 1886. At that convention a small band of twenty-one young men was swelled to a company of one hundred, who declared their purpose to become foreign missionaries. Since that time mainly through the efforts of Travelling Secretaries, the company of volunteers has increased to an army of more than seventy-five hundred (7,500) young men and women, about six hundred and fifty of whom are already on the field. The Bucknell Band is a part of this great movement. President, Sec ' y and Treas, Officers. Raymond D.wis. Thom. s S. Fkktz. Members. EzR. Ar.i EN, ' 95. h. t. cole.stock, 96.

Beta Delta Pi, Founded September, 1887. Pi Phi, Founded September, BETA DELTA PI. SONG OF BETA DELTA. Should 3 ' ou ask me, whence these noises, Whence these shrieks so loud and frantic. With the odors of the sulphur. With the dew and damp of water, With the alcoholic blueness. With the bunting of the white goat, With the rushing of young ladies. With their boisterous intonations, As to a fire, gymnasium-ward ? I would straight make haste, and tell you, ' From the West Wing and the Annex, From the ancient walls of learning, From the College and the Sem-ites, From the lights so bright and shining. From the short ones and the ta ll ones. With their instruments of torture. With their eyes of look so vicious. I reveal them as I saw them From the stairs and over transom. With its dust}- glass half-broken. Ye, who sometimes, in your reading O ' er and o ' er L ' Agenda ' s pages. Where frats and the sororities Place their noble names and doings Facing cuts of Wright ' s creation. Pause to gaze on skull and cross-bones. Pause a while to read and wonder At the soul-inspiring histories. Penned by youthful, unskilled fingers. Deathless words by mortals written. Every measure sought and searched for, So as best to represent them. In the Present, Past and Future — Stop and read this noble history, Read the song of Beta Delta. I. In January, eighty-sev ' n, Misses Hanna, Jones and Loudon, Lovell, Stoner, Peck and Custer, They the mighty of Bucknell vSem, Formed then a select society, D. D. D. ' s the name they honored, Well they flourished, bound together, Till the fall of eighty-seven. Then changed into Beta Delta. In the parlor met they Fridays, ' Twixt the hours of six and seven. Talked they over many a new girl, Some received they, some black-balled they, Till the parlor was denied them. These, the mighty of Bucknell Sem. II. In their rooms they met and prospered, Pondering serious business over. From the second and the third floor, Came May Putnam and the Graffs, Misses Roth, Lovell and Myers, Misses Hassenplug and Miller, With Misses Derr and Clearwater, Whose titles now are M-r-s. In pleasantness the years rolled by. With the members e ' er increasing, Till came in the present members — Misses Spettigue, Thomas, Jauss, Guthrie, Morgan, Moon, Clearwater. From childhood into womanhood Thus had grown the Beta Delta. III. Onward through the ages misty, Through long years as yet unfolded, Will the name of Beta Delta Be respected, loved and cherished. Long will Pink and Nile Green flutter. Flutter ' mid the summer breezes, ' Mid the chilly blasts of winter, Bringing glory to all followers, E ' en the shady oaks will whisper, ' Beta Delta ! Beta Delta ! E ' en the noisv brook will babble, ' Beta Delta ! Beta Delta ! While the birds among the tree tops, Sing gently, In honor, we ' ll live ! Sing bravely, In honor, we ' ll die ! Hurrah— for Beta Delta Pi ! 103 PI PHI CHRONICLE. 1. Ill the beginning six girls created Pi Phi 2. And the sorority was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the earth. And the spirit of mischief was upon the minds of the maidens. 3. And the leader said, Let there be a Greek Chapter! and there was a Greek Chapter. 4. And the damsels saw the Chapter that it was good ; and the damsels divided the elect from the rejected 5. And the maidens called the elect Pi Phi, and the rejected were not in it ; and from the evening till the morning was the first day. 6. And the elect were set in the cave of the grove, and the leader said : Let the cave bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and a goat that may exist upon the earth by the consumption of tin cans. 7. And the leader said unto them: Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the sorority, and have dominion over every living thing that moveth about Bucknell. 8. And the leader saw everything that she had done, and behold it was very good. 9. This is the book of the generation of Pi Phi. In the day the leader created Pi Phi, in the likeness of the fraternity made she it. 10. And the six girls remained at the Sem. ten months, and initiated three sisters of their own likeness after their own image. 11. And Pi Phi lived a second year, and its members were four and ten. 12. And behold we, even we do make rushes upon the Sem, to choose all flesh wherein is our likeness, and we set our seal upon them, and with them do establish our covenant. 13. And it came to pass in the one thousand, eight hundred and ninetieth year, in the third year of Pi Phi, on the first day of the school year, five sisters returned, and they looked and beheld the faces of the new girls, and the rushes were loosed from their shackles. 14. And it came to pass after twenty days, that the number was increased to eleven. 15. And Pi Phi prevailed yet another year, and put forth her hand, and took seven new sisters unto her in the ark. 16. And in the fifth year, on the seven and twentieth day of the eighth month, did the nine again bring forth the goat out of the arU. 17. And it came to pass that Pi Phi began to multiply in the Sem., and two sisters were born unto her. 18. And it came to pass that up to this time the sorority numbered thirty-one. 19. And these are the doings of Pi Phi unto the fifth generation, when L ' Agenda went to print. 104 E A WRIGHT PHILA. PI PHI. IN MEMORIAM LAURA H. CUSTER. Died February 17th, 1892.

' iLa - ! u rn ■J Biogrevpbie?. v i REV. ROBERT LOWRY, D. D. Dr. Lowr3% whose portrait appears on our front page, was born in Phila- delphia, March 12, 1826. In 1843 he was baptized by the Rev. George B. Ide, D. D., and received into the First Baptist church. He at once became active in Sunday school work, especially in connection with missions. He gradually developed a gift for conducting religious meetings, and became prominent in leading the service of sacred song. Eventually he attracted the attention of his pastor, who invited him to spend an evening in his study. The pastor solemnly expressed his conviction that the young man ought to study for the ministry. Young lyowry confessed that for years this had been his most cherished desire, but that he had never had the courage to express it nor allow himself to hope that it could be realized. The interview of the evening gave shape to his subsequent life. In 1848 he came to lyCwisburg. It was a day of small things, but great expectations in the history of the University. All the departments met and recited in the basement of the old Baptist church. Knowledge was pursued under difficulties. The completion of the Academy building was like the marking of an epoch. When the West Wing was ready for occupancy, there was nothing more to be desired. Robert I owry spent six years in Lewisburg. He interested himself in everything. The Society for Chri.stian Inquiry was a great institution in those days. The literary society was popular with the students. The musical association embraced all the vocal talent of both sexes. In all these he was active. He organized the church choir, and led the singing in the social meetings. He taught a private class of students in the rudiments of music, and had a Bible class in the Sunday school. He went off occasionally with others to hold a meeting in a school house, and sing or talk, as the occasion might require. He wrote and composed a farewell song for the first graduating class in 1 851, which was sung by the musical association at commencement. That was before the introduction of bra.ss bands. He held a meeting, in conjunction with C. M. Deitz, at McEwensville, which resulted in several baptisms and the organization of a church. During the last two years of his student life he preached every Sunda} ' , dividing his time between McEwensville and White Deer Valley. He was graduated in 1854. 118 Ill tjuick succession followed his ordination, his marriage and acceptance of a call to West Chester, Pa. Here he found the church with no meeting house, but making arrangement to build. In two years a beautiful edifice was completed, dedicated and filled with worshippers. The vSunday school was thoroughly organized by the pastor, who took charge of it personally and condvicted its musical service. It became a great power in the town. He identified himself also with the teachers ' institute of Chester county, and delivered several lectures. For a time he also edited one of the local journals. In 185S he was called to the Bloomingdale Baptist church, New York city. He entered on this broader field of work with great enthusiasm. L,ots were purchased for a large and commanding church edifice, and the foundation was laid with flattering prospects. The outbreak of the Rebellion brought the enterprise to a sudden stop. Business was paralyzed and the air was full of war. A large number of young men were preparing to go to the front. One evening, after several persons had been examined as candidates for bap- tism, about a dozen revolvers were distributed among those who had enlisted for the conflict. It was an exciting time, and no one seemed to think that baptism and revolvers were incongruous. In the spring- of 1861 some members of the Hanson Place Baptist church, Brooklyn, in search of a pastor, dropped in at the Bloomingdale church one Sunday, and concluded that that was the man for them if they could get him Negotiations were opened quietly, but, as the pastor was committed to the project of the new church edifice, he would not receive o ' ertures from an - source while there was any hope of carrying forward the business enterprise. When it became evident that the movement must be abandoned or indefinitely postponed, then the Hanson Place people extended a call, and it was accepted. Here he remained for over eight j ears. He has always regarded this as an ideal pastorate. The congregation was small when he went there, and the debt was heavy ; the former grew to fill the house and the latter to insignificant dimensions. Hundreds were received into membership, and a colony sent out for mission purposes developed into the Sixth Avenue church. Outside interests enlisted a large portion of his atten- tion. Sunday school iirstitutes, public meetings, the Sons of Temperance, and denominational boards claimed and received a large share of his time and sympathy. The Long Island Baptist Association, now so strong and 119 vigorous, was brought iuto being mainly through his instrumentality. The pastors ' conference, a body of uncertain constituenc} ' , was kept steadil}- to its routine life during the years of hissecretar3 ' ship. Half the funerals at wh ich he officiated were those of strangers. It was a life of ince.s.sant activity, but he delighted in the work and found it impossible to be wear}-. In 1869 President Loomis called to see him, bearing a proposition to enter the Univer.sit} ' as Professor of Rhetoric. If it had come from an}- other insti- tution, or through any other man, it would not have been entertained for a moment. But love for his church and love for his Alma Mater made the ques- tion a painful and perplexing one. There was no apparent reason why he should abandon a position of prominence and usefulness, and bury himself out of sight, as it seemed, in an inland town. It took several months to determine what was the right thing to do. Finally Alma Mater triumphed. He accepted the appointment of the trustees, and removed with his family to Lewisburg. At the same time he accepted a call as pastor of the Bapti.st church. Doing the services of these two offices he continued for six years. The record of these years need not be repeated here. It survives in the hearts of the boys whom he taught, and in the church to which he ministered. Long before the expiration of this time, he felt this double work was unduly taxing him. It did not seem practicable to divide it, and so he concluded he must withdraw from it all and rest. In 1875 he retired, bearing with him a token of the esteem and confidence of the faculty. He took up his abode in Plainfield, N. J., intending after a year ' s recuperation and private study, to resume the ministerial work. He had not been there long before a mo ' ement was made to organize a church in a new part of the city. This movement was made contingent on Dr. Lowry ' s accepting the leadership. This he was reluctant to do, but ultimate!} ' threw himself into the work with all his energy. It was successful from the .start, and resulted in building a new church edifice valued at $50,000. Here he preached for nine years, at the end of which time he gave up his pastorate, and took his place as a high private among his brethren. Dr. Dowry has always felt a sort of discomfort that he is better known as a hynni writer and musical composer than as a preacher. From earliest boy- hood he was a singer, with a natural gift for composing tunes. Man} ' } ' ears before he knew anvthing of the .science of music, he constructed musical scores which publishers were glad to put iuto priut. Discoveriug that music was an art as well as an instinct, he gave himself to a thorough study of harmony. By a mere accident his name became associated with sacred song, and he has never been able to break away from the association. But he regards the preaching of the gospel as his highest work, and everything else is sub- ordinated to that. He has edited books for churches, choirs and vSunda} ' schools, one of them selling more than a million of copies. A year or two after his graduation he was initiated into the Phi Kappi Psi Fraternity. At the Grand Arch Council, held in Washington, he was elected president of the fraternity. At several of the district councils and grand councils he has delivered speeches and poems. He is a patriarchal member of the Phi Kappa P.si Alumni Club of New York city. He delights to meet his brethren of Pennsylvania Gamma in their symposium at the annual commencement. He has warm friends in the other fraternities. Dr. Lowry has traveled through Canada, the New England vStates, the Western States and the Colorado canyon, the Southern States and Mexico. Twice he has made the tour of Europe. At the Robert Raikes centennial in i8So, he attended the meeting of the delegates in London, at which speeches were made by representative men from all parts of the world. At the close of the meeting the chairman, a member of Parliament, rose and said : ' ' I am told that Dr. Lowry, the author of ' Shall We Gather at the River? ' , is present; we should be glad to hear from him. The effect was startling. As Dr. Lowry came forward and stood on the platform, the whole audience broke forth in applause. People rose to their feet and waved their handker- chiefs. For some minutes itVas impos.sible to say a word. Not more than a dozen Americans in the room had ever seen the man, but they gave spon- taneous tribute to the song writer whose name had ]:)een a household word to them for many years. After relinguishing his professorship, Dr. Lowry was elected Chancellor of the University, which office he held until the Board of Curators was legis- lated out of exi.stence. JOHN GUNDY OWENS. John Gundy Owens was born at I ewisburg, Pa., September 22, 1S65. He entered Bucknell Academy in the fall of ' 81 and was graduated from Bucknell College in ' 87. Mr. Owens had a mind naturally very active. He was deeply interested in everything he studied. Beginning his College course two years after he entered the Academy, he was honored with several Freshman prizes. During his Freshman year he joined the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, in which he was highly esteemed. He was an active worker in the Theta Alpha Literary Society, also in the Mirror Association. He played on the Bucknell team when they met Lafayette in the first inter-collegiate football game ever played on Bucknell campus. In his Junior year he became so charmed by the .study of geology that after the required number of specimens had been gatliered, he continued searching until he had acquired the fullest and most complete cabinet that has ever been gathered by any student of the University. He was a leader in college, both in studies and in .sports. In September of ' 87, Mr. Owens went to South Jersey In.stitute, at Bridgeton, N. J., to teach natural and mental science. Here he introduced the .studies of astronomy and zoology, and interested his .students in botany, geology and archaeology. He remained at South Jersey Institute until June, 1890, having taught with marked success. In the .summer of ' 88 he went to Wood ' s Holl, oppo.site Nantucket Island, to .study the forms of marine life and to perfect him.self in zoology. In ' 89, deciding to make geology his life work, he went to the summer school at Harvard, and later in the season he took a trip along the New England coa.st, going as far north as Grand Manan, Nova Scotia, to study the sea forms in the Ba - of Fundy. During the summer he made the acquaintance of the director of the Bo.ston Museum of Natural Science, Dr. Walter Fewkes, with whom he afterward labored. i mk. JOHN GUNDY OWENS. During the next winter Dr. Fewkes asked Mr. Owens to join the Hemenway Southwestern Archteological Expedition. Accordingly, early in the summer of 1890, he was excused from school, having by extra work finished his teaching at South Jersey. The master ' s oration was assigned to him, but on Commencement Da}- he was among the Zuni Indians of Arizona. Here he spent the summer studying the habits of one of the tribes of Indians which had been least affected by the white man. When the expedition stopped work for the summer, he went south to visit the Canon de Chilly, and thence to the Grand Canon of the Colorado, going dowm to the brink of the river and again ascending in so short a time as to break all previous records. Thence he went to Los Angeles and back through California and Utah. In the fall of 1890 he went to Harvard and was the first student to register in the Department of American Archaeology, which was established soon after he entered the University. He used to say : Bucknell, through the teaching of President Hill in anthropology, caused Harvard to establish the first course in American archaeology in the United States, if not in the world. During the winter he worked for Professor Putnam. In the summer of ' 91 he went to study the Moki Indians, where he witnessed the famous Snake dance, which, in its original forms and cere- monies, is now a thing of the past. He entered the foot races, in which he won the victory, and w as initiated by the Mokis as one of their number. During the summer part of the tribe rebelled against the U S. government, and when the United States cavalry charged up the mesa on which the tribe w as located, Mr. Owens rode with a lieutenant at the head of the column. He also acted as interpreter for part of the troops and condvicted them back to camp. When he returned to Harvard, Mrs Hemenway established a fellowship in American archaeology, which was assigned to Mr Owens. The Peabody Museum having obtained the right to investigate the ruins of Copan, Hon- duras, Central America, an expedition was organized with Professor Putnam as director and Mr. Owens as execvitive officer. When he returned to his friends in June, he was hurried by a telegram to Boston, where Dr. Fewkes awaited him to go to Spain to assist in arranging the Hemenway exhibit in American archseologv at the universal exhibit in honor of Columbus. He 123 was called from Madrid to take charge as director of the second Honduras expedition. It was while on this expedition, when the company was explor- ing with promising results the ruins of the ancient cit} ' of Copan, that Mr. Owens died from fever for the science he loved. Those who knew him best loved him most. He was especially admired by those with whom he was associated at Harvard. Few loved and appreciated him more than Professor Putnam, who declares that in the death of Mr. Owens, science has lost one of her mo.st remarkable and promising students. 124 DR. GEORGE R. BLISS. Dr George R Bliss maj ' be said really to have begun his career when in 1849 he came to Lewisburg to assume the duties of Professor of the Greek I,anguage and Literature, in our then infant University. It was then he began to build on the previously laid foundation that structure of a profound and far-reaching scholarship and philosophical and religious intellectuality, for which he was so widely known. His was not that scholarship which some- times is grasped b}- men of wealth and mental ease, who are not compelled to devote every possible moment to the material things and thoughts of this life ; but he was compelled to build his edifice at such moments as could be stolen from the labor of life and the hours due to rest This building was often pressed forward under a condition of bodily fatigue and other morbid physical conditions. It was while living in L,ewisburg that he built up the reputation which placed him in the front rank, not onh ' as a Greek and Hebrew scholar and theologian, but also a linguist and philologist. His influence during what may be termed the formative period of our University, or that period covering the presidency of Dr. Loomis, it would be difficult to measure. The president, promptly recognizing not only his high scholarship, but also his safety in council, took him at once into his confidence and to his heart, and to the last moment of his connection with the institution he was the warm supporter and confident of its head. Twice during this period w as he called upon to perform for a 3 ear the functions of the president, and it w as found by the students that under his mild and apparently plastic exterior, there reigned a firm spirit when any principle was involved. At one time a class, recalcitrant and headstrong, tru.sting too far to this mildness of manner, suddenly awoke to the consciousness that through the firmness in the execution the}- were no longer members of the school, and that they could only be restored by a gentlemanl} ' submis- sion to the laws. Dr. Bliss was one of the factors in the moulding process by which Lew- isburg was brought out of its old-fashioned and primitive condition to the 125 more cosmopolitan aspect the town now presents. Ji is true that much of this transformation was due to the influence of the University planted here, but Dr. Bliss was a potent factor in shaping the character and development of this institution. The first form in which his influence was felt in the town was in the sermons he commenced to preach as the pastor of the Baptist church, whose functions he was immediateh- called on to perform in addition to those of a professor in the University. The influence of these sermons, not only on the residents of the town, but also on the students in the University schools, no human power can measure. Dr. Bliss made no pretense to oratory, but his ability to read in such a manner as to present to the hearer a photograph of the ideas and emotions of the author of a passage was such as to be rarel} ' equalled, and especially was this true of his reading of the Scriptures ; indeed he once said to the writer : ' ' The best exposition that can be made of a passage of the Scriptures is to read it correctly. This facult} ' has left its influence on man}- minds. In his sermons and his ordinary conference talks his thoughts were clothed in choicest Engli.sh, models of correct construction and elegant and explicit phraseology, giving to his hearers, were the}- citizens or students, an instructive example of graceful and easy diction, whose influence has never died out. In the presentation of religious truth to his congregation, the simplicity of his expositions, his kindly and sympathetic tones, the gentle- ness of his manner, and above all, the evidence of his own personal convic- tions — forced the truth on the least impressible of his hearers, and this force has not ceased to work. The influence of the pastor and preacher was intensely emphasized by the man ' s daily life among the people. The profound conviction that here was a man whose daily life, whose conversation and whose sympathies with all tho.se upon whom the hand of misfortune had laid its weight, of whatever station in life, was an exemplification of the faith he would convey to others. The simplest-minded could see that in this life an eminent and widely ramified .scholarship was made to take an uno.stentatious .second place to the human- ities of Judea ' s great teacher. These influences remain to many a ble.s.sed heritasre. 126 His life as a citizen exhibited that respect for law, which by reason of a false conception of liberty so many fail to value in a proper degree, and this example has not yet expended its force. Confidence in his rectitude, sound judgment and sense of right, impelled our citizens to elect him to our borough council, without his knowledge, and the fact was first made known to him when the proper officer delivered to him the certificate of election as he was at work in his garden. While a member of this bod}- he proposed some reforms which, however, were not effected until after he had left the town. Wherever duties have led him, whether as a western pioneer, a student, a pastor or professor, he has left behind him the fragrance of a loving .spirit more persistent than that which Marcus Aurelius thought every good man should diffuse from his person, and differing from it as the teaching of the Galilean differs from the philosophy of Antoninus. 127 REV. JOSEPH P. TU5T1N. Rev. Joseph P. Tustin was born at Philadelphia, Januar} 30th, 1830. His eai ' h ' life was spent in Philadelphia and in Vincent, Chester county, Pa. After his course in the Philadelphia high schools, at the age of fourteen, he accepted a position in Baltimore with a commission merchant, where he remained two years. At the age of sixteen he entered the large dr}- goods establishment of Mr. Sharpless, in Philadelphia. In 1848, at the age of eighteen, he entered Bucknell University. After two years he was compelled b} ' ill health to abandon his studies, when he entered into business in I ewis- burg. In 1856 he accepted a position in the bank at Northumberland, Pa., where he remained till 1864. While thus engaged, he, b} diligent study, completed his college course, and was graduated from the college in 1863. In 1 85 1 he was connected with the movement of raising the endowment fund for the University, and in 1852 he taught in the Academy at L,ewisburg. In 1864 he accepted the position of cashier in the First National Bank of Blooms- burg, Pa., which position he held with unsullied name till the time of his death, April 17, 1892. He was a member of the Bloomsburg Baptist Church, and was also pa.stor of the church for fourteen years, at the same timeserving various other churches in Columbia count} ' . At the time of his death be was a member of the Board of Trustees of Bucknell University, and was Secretary of the Board. Mr. Tustin was a man of deep religious character, and performed well his part in ever}- movement intended to improve the morals and elevate the religious sentiment of the comnumity in which he lived. 128 129 COLUMBUS CLUB. Under the inspiration of the Columbus celebration of TS92, some Bucknellites form- ed a Columbus Club, both to perpetuate Great Christopher ' s fame and to emulate his example by bringing forth things new. Officers. Chief Discoverer of Waiste Places R. E. Davidson. vSecond . W. M. V. stine. ( ' Specially those the Chief can ' t reach.) Disappointed Seeker f or New Worlds to Conquer . . . E. T. Haddock. Grandiloquent Proclaimer of Discoveries . . Chauncey Depew McMann, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella The Powers That Be. This organization, during the Columbus celebration, offered a magnanimous prize for the best poem commemorating Columbus, and the following is the production which bore off the palm : THE BALLAD OF CHRISTOPHER C. 1. Come round, all ye students of learning and truth, Who would weighty philosophers be. And list while I spin you the curious yarn That an owl of the wood told to me. Croaked he, ' Tis the truth about Christopher C. 2. King Ferd. gave to Chris, three second-hand tubs, And garlic in great quantity — With a Limburger smell to cheer his brave tars As they plowed through the wide, heaving sea. Mind thee, The crew shall be strong, Mr. C. 3. So Christopher C. sailed away to the West, And passed through new countries and climes. He took all their papers and read all their books. And delved in their ballads and rhymes. Please note — He was thoroughly up to the times. 4. He visited Jersey, and found that it was But a second edition of Spain, And he swore with a terrible oath he would add That land to Castile ' s wide domain. Great Smokes ! King Ferd. o ' er the Land of Mosquitoes shall reign ! (At this point the owl blinked his weather eye and changed his form of speech.) 5. He took a short trip to the school of Bucknell, But what he saw there he never could tell. 130 without first he had laughed and laughed to his fill. He told how the students quite covered a hill, Which looked down on the level extent of a plain, Where Bucknell was destined a vict ' ry to gain. 6. Now, football old Christopher never had seen, And first became somewhat frightened, I ween. But as soon as he saw the point in the game. And heard the best players oft mentioned by name, He shouted and hollowed until he was hoarse — Until he was speechless — for Bucknell, of course ! 7. ' Twas the Dickinson game they were playing that day. When Christopher came in such splendid array To see the disgrace of our Methodist foe. But oh ! how he laughed frotn his crown to his toe As point after point on the shouters was scored — No wonder, indeed, that Christopher roared ! ( It might be here stated, parenthetically, said the owl, that all this so cap- tivated Great Christopher that he would have entered Freshman next fall had he not been under positive engagement to take Queen Isabella out sleigh-riding. So, after making Capt. Riggin promise to send him this year ' s L ' Agenda, giv- ing a full record of all the football games, he returned to the Quaker City and cried : ) 8. Weigh the anchor, my lads They weighed it and found It lacked but a trifle of nine hundred pounds. But so joyful was Chris, o ' er his visit, you see, He whistled the rest of the way cross the sea. 9. Out o ' er the Atlantic sped Christopher C. x t the parting peal of the bell ; And he whistled with vim to a favoring breeze — Oh ! I ' ll sometime go back to Bucknell ! Full well I ' ll teach all the vSpaniards her yell. 10. What knowest thou now, O Christopher C ? Cried Ferdinand. Ruler of Spain. I know that football ' s the king of all games, Said the man who had roved o ' er the main. ' Twas plain, C. C. was far from insane. 11. Go to, cried the King — then make me a team, And show me the cause of your gush. C. C. trained the men, and when the first game Was played in a terrible slush — B ' Dad ! King Ferdinand played Centre-Rush ! 12. So this is the tale which the owl of the wood In confidence whispered to me. But oh ! my surprise at the horrible lies On the pages of histor}- ! I see I was born to make them agree ! 131 U. B. ' Tis the mystic hour of midnight ! I hear the faint patter of angelic feet hastening along the Institute hall. A Voice. — Sh-h-h-h, girls ; for the land ' s sake don ' t make the least bit of noise ! Those horrid teachers ' 11 hear iis ! SrveraIv Voices. — What in the world is it ? Do tell ns ! We ' re just dying of curiosity. First Voice. — Oh ! when you hear it you ' ll just be delighted ! It ' s just too awfully sweet and lovely for anything. We ' re going to form a new society. Secret, too! Just deadh ' secret ! S. V. — Oh, that ' s just grand ! It ' s too utterly sweet to be true ! A new society ! and .secret ! Yes, indeed ! We ' d rather die than tell it ! F. V. — Well, then, keep quiet and I ' ll tell you. H-u-s-h ! Kate, shut that door. Lil, turn down that gas further. Now listen ! First, you know we ' ve only invited those girls who have been over sixteen for some time — more or less over, you know — and those who have nothing whatever to do with those mean, horrid boys. Do you all answer to that description ? S. V. (vSuppressed and saddened) — Y-e-s, we do. F. V. — Well, then — our societ}- is to be called the U. B. Societ} ' . S. v. — U. B.! Why, the very idea ! That ' s a church— United Brethren ! F. v.— No, indeed ; it is not ! Didn ' t I just say we are to have nothing whatsoever, in any extent, to the least degree, in any measure, to do with those hateful, spiteful, jealous boj ' s, either as bycthreit or anything else ? S. v.— Well, what is it, then ? F. V. — Now listen, and I ' ll tell you. I must whisper it — it ' s too sacred to be spoken. We are to be the Unclaimed Blessings — and every girl who joins looks on her- self as one who might have blessed some man — but was not asked. Now mind, girls ! The name really must be kept in the awfullest, deadest, terriblest secrecy ever known. And none of us ever dare have anything to do with those mean, ugly, selfi.sh, heartless bo} ' s — unless she gets a good chance ! See? S V. (Trembling and mournful) — Even .so! And may the gods have pity on the I ' nclaimed Biessincjs ! DUDA SOCIETAS DRONORUH IN BUCKNELLITALE UNIVER5ITATE. Principes.

The Sophites hate the Fresh ites. g. And eon spire to overthrozo them. 20. Paul eatcheth a he-goat. 1. Now it came to pass in the reign of King Prex, cvhich reigneth even from the place of Vision of Stars to the Palace of tlie Beautiful, and in the third year of his reign, 2. That there dwelt in the land the tribe of the Profites, the Seniorites, the Juniorites, the Sophites, the Freshites, the Cadites and the Semites. 3. And there zvas peace in the land. i 4. Now the vSophites cherished deadly hatred against the Freshites and would have fallen upon them with staves and divers maledictions, 5. But lo ! they were sore afraid. 6. And the Freshites by reason of their many pranks and superfluities of naughti- ness did greath ' vex the angered Soph- ites. 7. Insomuch that tliey wailed a mighty wail and cried aloud saying: 8. O, 3 ' e gods ! How shall we humble the pride of the Freshites and bring them even to the dust of humiliation. ' 1 9. Now there was chosen by the Soph- ites one t o be their governor and viceroy, a man of great cunning and of skilful devices. 10. And his name zvas Smith. 11. And he called together the tribe of the Sophites and all the people thereof .o consider the matter. 12. And there arose one Paul, a man mighty in words and exceeding great in understanding, 13. And he said, O vSmith ! may thy name live forever, and th} ' tribe never diminish. Behold, I have an idea. 14. And the viceroy .said. Let the door be closed and the keyholes thereof be stopped lest it escape. 15. (For ideas zcere few throughout all the triiie. ) 16. And Paul lifting up his voice said : Choose unto me seven valiant men and strong which shall humble the pride of the P ' reshites and bring their arrogance to naught. 17. And vSmith said, Get ye to your dens, O Sophites, for this day Paul has come to deliver us. 1 8. And he chose seven of the strongest men, to wit : Ezra the prophet, Lamar and Gridely and David whose surname is Sal and others, 19. Who should be helpers to Paul. f 20. And Paul going forth caught a he- goat in the field hard by, and when he had laid hands on him he brought him to the temple of Athena, 21. And fastened him in a dark region, even in remote parts of the cellar fasten- ed he him. 22. And Paul called Ezra and Lamar and Gridely and David, saying : Go ye this night into the land of the Cadites, 23. And get of the tin cans that lie there a great number and of sardine boxes not a few, and fetch them hither that the he-goat may wax strong and mighty, 24. For thus shall the pride of the Freshites be abased. 25. And it zcas so. CHAP. IL 4-6. Pant taketh in the Son of Lesh. 14. The he-goat zvaxeth Jieree. 75. He bumpeth divers Freshites. 26. The eyes of the Son of Lesh opened. 1. It came to pass not many days after Paul putting a clean collar about his neck and nezc socks on his feet went forth into the court of the people, which is in the temple of Athena. 2. And he espied the Son of Lesh, the Agricolite, which was also a Freshite, standing before the board of Parchments, and reading as his custom was. 3. And Paul drew near and .said, O 135 Son of Lesh, I long have noticed thy prudence and wisdom in all matters that are ocult and secret. 4. Come now, that I may be advised of thee concerning a iiiatt r which of late causeth nie much thought. 5. Thou knowest that many among the tribes of the king ' s domain, because of tlieir great freshness need to be taken dozvn and shaken up. 6. Therefore, let us form a committee of vigilants which .shall do this work ; 7. For he said unto himself : with their own hands will I .slay them. 8. Then was the Son of Lesh the Agri- colite muchly taken in, and he answered: Yea verily, I de.sire to join your band. 9 And Paul said, Thou art a noble. Go to, now and entice Walk ? O, Shaw, who is exceeding verdant and ' cvithal very fresh, and others of the Freshites, and another time will we take of the Soph- ites, 10. But of the Juniorites and Seniorites and Profites and Cadites may we not touch, nor shall we bituip the Semites lest King Prex Vje wroth and we perish. If 1 1 . Now when even was come the Son of Lesh appeared in the Way of Halls l)ringing Walk ? O, Shaw and two others of the Freshites. 12. When suddenly there was a sound like a mighty cyclone, and the enticed Freshites were lifted up and borne unto the nether regions, 13. Pvven unto where the shaggy goat was tied. 14. Now behold ! he ' cvas very fierce. 15. And Freshites being fearful bowed down before the goat seven times, and when his anger had abated thev arose, 16. When lo, Paul and his band and tlie Son of Lesh fell upon them and made them perform many kinds of skilful de- vices and cunning tricks. 17. After which thev set them free. 18. The next day A alk ? O, Shaw be- holding the Son of Lesh .sayeth unto him. Son of Lesh, thou art mad ! Seest not how the So])hites have ta coi thee in, that thev may put all the Freshites l)e- fore the goat ? 19. Then the Son of Lesh answering said, Nay, nay, but all verdant youths, both of Freshites and Sophites mu.st be bumped. I, the Son of Lesh, hath spoken it. 20. Then said Walk ? O, Shaw, I prithee tell me, be they of the Freshites or the Sophites which were bumped last night ? 21. And the Son of Lesh said, Fresh- ites. 22. And who will be bumped to-night, Freshites or Sophites? 23. And the Son of Lesh answered F ' reshites, but at some other time the Sophites. 24. And Walk ? O, Shaw, answering, said : Yea, verih ' , always is it to-day when the Freshites suffer, but tlje pun- ishment of the Sophites is greatly de- layed. 25. And he wept bitterly. 26. Then were the eyes of the Son of Lesh opened, and he vowed an intense vow that he would be even with the wicked Sophites. CHAP. IIL J. T ie Son of Lesh surpriseth tlie Soph- ites. 4. And shutteth theui in the cel- lar. 10. The He - s oat bninpcth the Sophites. If. The residue , ' ii ' e battle. I J. Peace in the land. 1. Now when the eleventh hour in the night was come the Son of Lesh came l)ringing one whose name was BrowU which was to be bumped. 2. And when the Sophites had entered the door where the beast was kept, 3. And behold, the vSon of Lesh stretch- ed br his hand and caught back Browll and held him from the vSophites. 4. And the door was shut. 5. And a messenger was speedily .sent to warn the whole tribe of the Freshites, saying. Come, for now will we punish the wily Sophites. 6. For they had gathered at the com- mand of the .Son of Lesh and were in great number even behind the Gym. 7. And they came quickly and were armed with sticks and staves and stones of great size. 136 8. And lo, they kept watch that the Sophites might not escape at any secret place. 9 Then were the wicked Sophites left to the tender mercies of the enraged he- goat. 10. And he fell upon them after such a manner that a football game was as the sighing of the summer l)reeze compari- son nif i if. Yea, verily, he had an im- mense time. 11. Then was the residue of the Soph- ites aroused 7;w deep slumber, and they assembled and made fierce onslaught oil one of the doors and set free those that were imprisoned. 12. Then the Freshites gathered to- gether and rushed upon the Sophites, and amid the roar of battle, and the rent- ing of garments and blacking of eyes, the he-goat esca])ed. 13. Then went the tribes of the Soph- ites and the Freshites to i ieir dormies, even unto bed. 14. And there was gathered of frag- ments of garments five basketfuls, and of blood ten measures, and of bad words not a few. T[ 15. Now as King Prex sat in his coun- cil chamber, behold, a messenger came and told him all that had happened be- tween the tribes of the Sophites and the Freshites. 16. And the king and his counsellors smiled a broad smile. Yea, verily, they were muchly amused. 17. And there zcas peace in the land. 137 ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. All connnunications to lliis department must be addressed to Mrs. Thyxc Shkr Knowsai.i,, Box 94, Lewisburg, Pa. David S. — Use a dark crayon, the kind sold under the name of e3-ebrow pencils, to darken your moustache, and be careful in applying it not to make it too visible. E. K. T. — If your hair is turning gray prematurely, I would advise you to let it alone, as it will tend to make your face look younger. I cannot and will not recom- mend any hair dyes. Alonzo — Do not regret that you blush easily. Those of tender years are not sup- posed to have much acquaintance with the ways of the world, nor to be perfectly at ease among strangers. Anxiou.s Student. — The examination for admission to the Senior Latin Class will be based on the following passage from Juvenile, Sonnet III., LI.-10-16 : Parvus John Hornus Sedit in cornus Edens ein Christmas pae ; Im ponit pollex, Et prunum velio ex. Dixit : Quid portis puer sum I. [d). No ; the latin professor is not very cross, (r). Yes ; he usually asks syntax ques- tions. It would be a good thing for you to read up a biography of John Hornus, for you will probably be asked questions on his life ; also study his most noted contempora- ries. Ai,F. H s. — I have found molasses even better than hair oil to keep the hair in position. Royal Glue is said to be good, too, but I cannot recommend it from personal experience. J. R. Hu .s.— See answer to E. K. T. Sophomore Girl. — If the young man really wishes to tell you that he loves you, be sure that he will find the way. It is not necessar - for you to trouble yourself about encouraging him to do so. i S LEAVES FROM A PROFESSOR ' S NOTE BOOK. Tuesday. Played with my boy too late last night and hadn ' t time to look at the lesson. Almost got cornered in class, but slipped out of it by hurrying on to next point. Vastine got off a joke on me. Must get it back on him or flunk him out. Wed. Was almost lo min. late for 2nd recitation. Whole class had skipped except 2 girls. Let them recite the whole hour and gave the rest 70 pages in advance. Girls knew it all by heart. Thurs. Caught Waid today trying to draw my picture for L ' Agenda. Made him recite the rest of the hour. Cressinger tackled me and had to pay my subscription to football. Got it back on Vastine (as per Monday ' s niem.) in great shape today. Guess I ' ll give him Ex. this term. Friday. Just liappened to light on Marts in class today as he was winking and smiling at Miss Wheeler. Called him out and got him all tangled up in recitation, then called on Miss Wheeler to help him out. This little Jer- seyman ' s too fresh anyhow and must keep him down. Sat. Posted a notice today announcing my next term ' s elective in such a way that I don ' t think I ' ll be bothered with many taking it. Flunked the whole class neatly on a point not in the book. Gave them a lecture on laziness. Guess thev ' ll dig a little now. I Monday. Attended Faculty m ' t ' g and voted against giving Pauling and Gundy diplomas. Pauling preaches too much and Gundy couldn ' t recite the la.st line of small print in the foot-note of the 4th sub point on page 39 of the Grammar. Don ' t like either of ' em very well anyhow..

Wandering over the j round.s I came to the ruins of a little observator} ' which was used here in former years. What a strange contrast its little ten inch glass would present to our present seventy-two inch telescope ! However, I found there a curious paper, which I shall copy for your benefit. The date is entirely erased, and I had great difficulty in deciphering many of the words. Hastily, S. NI)KRS. The Paper. TO ALL PEOPLK whom it may concern : KNOW YE BY THESE PRESENTS that I, Wilhelm Rartholomeo, being of sound mind and the only living astronomer within the precincts of Bucknell, do make this last Will and Testament and call on men everywhere to abide by my wishes in the lawful distribution of my own property, real and personal. First : I divide the earth into four quarters by pas.sing two planes through the ineridinns, longitude W. fm. Washington 47° 39 ' and 132° 21 ' . Said quarters to be given one each to the four Bucknell stuilents in Geometry who shall first be able to state, without consulting any map, atlas or other Geographical, Geological or Geometrical device, what cities, towns, hamlets, rivers, lakes, seas, oceans and mountains such planes pass through. Also state Geocentric and Geometric angles made with the bowels of the earth. State whether such planes would be burnt by infernal fires ; if so, to what extent ? If planes were withdrawn would they smell of sulphur? To w-hat extent and length of time ? To those named above I will and bequeath the quarters as described, except the Andes Mountains in S. A. and the Alps in Western Asia which are given to the Bucknell Preps for a toboggan slide forever. Secondly : The hoops, which, despite the decrees of fashion since the days of the Roman F;mpire, Saturn has persisted in wearing, I will and becjueath to the young ladies of Bucknell Institute in the ardent hope that they may iiei er become adclicted to the chronic use of crinoline. Thirdly: I reserve the little planet Mercury for my son Wilhelm and his assigns forever to be used as a bicycle course and perpetual play ground. Fourth : The moon being of little use except as a reflector of borrowed light, I hereby throw it open subject to squatters ' claims and desire that the Freshmen who per- sisted in squatting in class when work was assigned at the board and whose examination papers showed effects of borrowed light, that those Freshmen should permanently locate there. Fifth : All remaining property real and personal I will and bequeath to the trus- tees of Bucknell University to be held in trust, the income derived to be devoted to assisting those superannuated students and bald-headed preachers who are most success- ful in toadying the professors. Having bestowed my earthly goods without fear or malice I am ready to shovel off this mortal soil and desire that above conditions be faithfully carried out. Wii.hki.m B. kthoi.omK(). [vSicai..] 140 A CATASTROPHE. hh. His ears were large, His body lean, And long his bony legs. Enfeebled, he, By many a spree Stood shak}- on his pegs. His coat was old. His vest was full Of holes, as large as peas. His hat was crushed, His shoes were torn. His pants bagged at the knees. His gait was halt. His eyes oped wide Like saucers, in surprise, When one day cold As walking out He heard some female cries. vShe. Her eyes were squint. Her body round. And pigeon-toed her feet. Her hair was red, Her hands were big, And cheeks just like a beet. Her gloves were eight. Her bonnet square, And hid a freckeled face. Her sleeves were long. Her dress was .short, And trimmed with flimsy lace. Her voice was rough. Her words were harsh. And yet she used to sing Like cats, at whom. In midnight ' s gloom. You would a boot-jack fling. 141 Thi-m Two. Her singing thus Attracted him, And drew him to her side. He gazed and loved, He conld not move, But stood stock-still and sighed. She gazed, too. And loved him much, For him all rivals shook. He swore he would To her be true. She answered smile with look. And so these two Went arm in arm Adown life ' s flovv ' ry walk — Until one night, A sorry plight, Caused gossips grum to talk. Her brother bad. This evening sad, On chairs did place some pins, Without a thought How much this youth Would multiply his sins. The loving pair Came in the room, (The boy had hid away.) The lover bold. To blushing maid. Some tender words did say. Come, sit upon My knee, said he. And down they sat in bliss. When up he sprang To howl with pain, And uttered words like this : _!_!! o !—!(?)(?)—- ! tt—! !? And now, alas ! When passing nigh The church with steeple high, She looks away. He shuts his eyes. And pass each other by. 142 fHf Ju lOf ft Woe is iiie, unlettered man I ! For nor I, nor Profie can Get this lesson thro ' my head Unless tutored l)v Co-Kd ! ' SENIOR PHILOSOPHY. Recot,rnition of friends, explains Ciardner in his simple, strai.- ditforward way, is merely a decisive ratio cognoscendi of their independent, ultra-individual existence, but conversely, and in plainer terms, it is the super-transcendental essentiality of their inter-subjective reality that is the ratio-essendi of reco ,niition. Whereupon Maxey spits on the floor, Heim pulls his moustache, and Pauling shouts A — men ! 143 UNFAITHFUL. I. A learned Senior named Rphra ' ni Heini Gave unto his cluun a new dime, Bring me cigarettes still When you come to the hill, For smoking ' s a pleasure sublime. II. This chum was a Junior named  Snow, Who oft brought himself grief and woe By his sporting away All his wealth in a da} ' , And then, of course, sporting must go. Ill It chanced, as he sauntered along Full merrily humming a song, He met Smith, a tall Soph, Who inveigled him off To paths both forbidden and wrong. IV. Yes, sure, .shouted Ralph in high glee, I ' ve got a new dime — don ' t you .see? Let ' s to Showers and sport, There ' s no need to be short — Me chum Eph ' s as rich as need be ! V. They reveled, and had a great time. To the full extent of the dime. With far fewer regrets For poor F ph ' s cigarettes Than I have for starting this rhyme ! VI. And when, having drunk to their illl. These robbers at last reached the hill, Ephra ' m ' s anger was such That he cussed them in Dutch, And buvs his own cigarettes still ! 144 A CLOSE CALL.

Wal i went down and got in a room ware the chars was in kind a rings and on steps and in front of em war a long yeller table with little yeller things stickin up all along it and som of em had holler ropes fastened to em. Wal thar war wun of em gals that thinks em self so durn smart with some big glass bottles with the tops cut off purty nigh full of molases or suthin and som other glass things and the}- war all jined together with stif strings and she said suthin about hidra gin and oxi gin, she didn ' t leave us taste it tho. Then thar were two fellers shutin a tin box off, they called it a gun, liut I reken i no a gun wen I see it. An then thar a little feller wat had a pipe fasened to wun of them holler ropes I told you about. This feller stuck the pipe in sop suds and bubles growed on it then he stuck a skiney kandle at it and i ' ll be dull garned if it didnt go off like a gun. Wal i went in anuther room that had tables in with tin chicken kups with stove pipes to em setin on en thar war a feller thar that had som tumbelers with suthin in wat he sed wus mineral trees, and anuther thing he called meet-her-rite if he hadnt looked so like a parson i wud ha thot he wuz talkin about the gals. Then there was a feller porin some yeller water on piesses of white stones tliat he had in a bottle, then he stuck wun of them holler ropes in a l)ig glass thing and sed it was ful, but } ' ou cudent se nothin in it nen he up sot it on som kantUes he had there and i ' 11-be-go-to-mill if every durn wun of them didn ' t go out — it was wery peculer.

Once when night had settled o ' er me, And the landscape stretched before me, Brightly glistening with the mantle of the newly fallen snow. Leaving tasks and books neglected For the time, I then directed Quickening footsteps through the allejs of the town that lay below. II. And I pondered on the fictions. On the truths and contradictions, That so curiously mingle in the woof and warp of life. Can real truth be comprehended ? Will those trousers ne ' er be mended, Or must I with the tailor grim soon engage in sanguine strife? III. Why lurks vice in virtue ' s raiments. Can I meet the quarter ' s payments, Or must I draw on Pater, as I oft have done before ? Why are life ' s events contrary ? Shall I pass the Seminary ? Ah ! a voice within me whispers, I am wanted there no more. IV. Breaking in on such reflections, Came a voice whose sad reflections Touched my sympathetic nature till it cjuivered to the core. Mister, I am cold and chilly, An ' me mother. Pap an ' Billy, In this bitter winter weather, have no quilt to cover o ' er. V. Boy, said I, I am not wealthy, Though you see I ' m strong and healthy. But I ' ll spare your folks some cover though it leave me in the damp. Then I took him, cold and .shivering. To my room that ver}- evening.

Habitat : Warm climates amid soft snaps. A large jay-bird of dull plumage ; closely allied to parrot tribe. Gives unintelli- gible answers when questions are repeated. Does not object to being walked over, but kicks when used for riding purposes. A species nearly extinct. Very rare. Room X ; Alcove C ; row 3 ; value, I500. No. I. Name: Alburtus Popicacitum. Habitat: Dry and cool climate. The oldest and rarest specimen of the Pop tribe known to authorities. For many years naturalists thought this tribe the long sought link in the evolution of species. Later investigations proved this supposition incorrect. Cannot yet be definitely located. Eyes, mild ; forehead, high, reaching nearly to back of neck ; harmless, if not annoyed. Room F ; Alcove M ; row 5 ; value, fo.oj. No. 687. Name: Harrius Bornimus. Habitat: Not known ; shows inclination for hot regions. The first being to complain of that tired feeling. Has not recovered yet. Thonsands are daily amused by watching the antics of this strange freak. Keep at safe distance from cage. Room M ; Alcove Z ; row i ; value $230. No. 10,539. Namp: : Extrix Frenchicus. HabiT. T : Temperance zone ; latest acquisition. Procured exclusively by the museum only by the most clever negotiations of our popular Registrar. Talks, laughs, sings almost like a human being. Many per- sons, especiall} ' gullible young ladies, on this account have been deceived. Wears a number of useful gold ornaments. Warning : Throw no peanut shells into the cage. You may not think it, but it knows when kernels have been extracted. Room B ; Alcove E ; row 2 ; value not given to public ; approximates fSys.oo. No. 6,243. Namk: Gabrielus Martzimus. Habitat: Sandy Gravel, New Jersey. This strange, wildly-beautiful animal was reared exclusively on corn juice and Jersey lightning higly seasoned with Pepper amid the pine swamps and cranberry bogs of its native clime.

THEY SAY THAT: Scliub contemplates suicide because his genius is not appreciated. Josephs was heard to thank the Lord that he had plenty of conceit. Adam VVyant proposes to knock the tar out of the Chicago University curricula and show the Wild West how to play feet-ball. Wilson sold his spring crop of variegated whiskers to a celebrated brush manufac- turing firm of S. E. New Jersey. Strayer has applied for a professorship in the kindergarten department recently esta])lished at the Institute. 156 Ware ' s growth is stunted horizontally and Waid ' s perpendicularly by the ceaseless punning on their names. Maxey will study law next year and edit the Wit and Humor column of a relig- ious newspaper for pastime. Solly puts his curls up in papers, paints his cheeks occasionally, and is thinking of ordering a whalebone waist improver to reduce corpulency. Since the canvass for endowment is no more, the Prof ' s will not have their friendly morning quarrel about leadii. chapel. Riggin told his chum the other day that an old Jersey girl of his has ceased to correspond with that definite combination of heterogeneous changes, both simultaneous and successive, touching external co-existences, by which she had formerly manifested her individuality through that materialistic personality of which mankind alone is capable. Does it hurt her ? anxiously inquired Davis. No ! said Jolly impatiently, I mean she ' s dead ! 157 1 ----- L AGENDA BOAf. pAeC CONTENTS. . ACADEMY. 1. Althletic Association 2. Base Ball 3.
