V, to make her bow to the friends, officers, and students of Bucknell. In presenting this edition the Board of Editors are con- scious that it is not perfect. We have, however, sought to reflect credit upon our college, and the class which has honored us with this charge. The liter ary work has received constant and careful attention; the de- tails of arrangement and proportion have been selected with the utmost care; our pleasantries, we intend, shall leave no sting behind. Our primary object has not been to produce a literary work in the fullest sense of the word, or a book of satire, but rather to faithfully descrilje our many-sided college life from the student ' s point of view. One caution to our reader: When you take up L ' Age. ' d. , lay aside your microscopes, field-glasses, and other critical paraphernalia; then you are prepared to enjoy it, and find the good there is in it — for we are sure there is some good here. And when you find a good thing, tlo not fear to remind us of it. We need all the praise you can honestly give, for this is oar compensation for the onerous labor we have performed. And, finally, Bucknell, dear Bucknell, when Ninety-eight has gone from your sheltering walls, when the seed you have sown during these short years shall be bearing worth - fruit, may this work, which we now present to ou, be a lasting memorial of our affection and our gratitude. The Board of Editors. Sonnet to 98 s Flower H, dainty little flakes of Heaven ' s blue. With modest faces peeping from the sod, Have ang-els airy lingers fashioned you To turn our stra ing fancies back to God? Methinks, that as they gentl)- dropped you here, They did a work upon you all bestow. From Him you bring a message; that is clear; And glad I ' ll listen, while you breathe it low.

The history of education has received worthy recognition in our curriculum. An interesting example may be studied in the rise and progress of our own University. The student of to-day desires to comprehend his AIdhi Mater; to know her genealogical tree; to learn the traditions of the elders ' — even as he hopes to win her Well done for his endeavors, and to leave some impress of his personality upon her future. This volume of L ' Aijenda is dedicated to the memory of a teacher under whose instruction no present student ever sat. But we recognize our inheritance in the toil and sacrifice of those who planned large things for us, because they expected large things from God. The individuality of a college is given to it by the men who give them- selves to its shaping. In no fanciful sense it is an organism. It has a unique life of its own, yet derived frona life. After its kind is the law of its growth, as of all growth. This individuality of life and growth it de- sires to impart to all its students. Professor Francis Wayland Tustin. Professor Francis Wayland Tustin was born in Philadelphia in 1834. He was descended from good Revolutionary ancestors, some of whom served with distinction in the war for American independence. His early educa- tion was received in the schools of his native city. In the winter of 1850 he was baptized by Dr. Ide, and united with the First Baptist Church of Philadelphia, and in the fall of the same year he entered the Academy at Lewisburg, and was graduated from Bucknell University in 1856, with the 1 1 highest honors of liis class. In 1S57 lie was maile tutor in the College; elected Professor in the Department of Natural Sciences, i860; ordained to the work of the Gospel Ministry, 1866; elected to the Chair of Greek Lan- guage and Litera ture, 1874; served as President in the absence of Presi- dent Loomis, in 1878-79, and again in the absence of Dr. Hill in 1886, and gently fell asleep in Jesus on the 15th of April, 1887. Professor Tustin was connected with our University for thirty-seven years, and, in the language of one of his colleagues, ' literally gave his life for the success of the insti- tution. For fourteen years he was instructor in the Natural Sciences, though during this time he taught almost as many classes in Latin and Greek as in the sciences. Linguistic studies were his special delight, and it was said of him, dur- ing his student life, that ' he was a born linguist. ' In 1874, Professor Tustin ' s eyes Ijecoming seriously affected by the chemical fumes of the laboratory, he resigned the Chair of Natural Sciences, and was elected to the Chair of Greek Language and Literature, made vacant by the removal of Dr. Bliss to Crozer Theological Seminary. Dur- ing the years of Dr. Tustin ' s connection with the College, it was called to pass through varied and trying experiences, but amidst the most dis- couraging surroundings he never wavered in the discharge of the most arduous duties. It was enough for him to know a course of action was right, whether man approved or condemned. In the memorial published soon after Dr. Tustin ' s death, we find this tribute given by the Presi- dent of the L ' uiversity: ' . 11 our best energies go into the channel of the making of men. That was the object of our brother ' s life — to make men, to sacrifice himself, to gi ' e his time, his toil, his energies for the building up of other men. I suppose that not less than five or si.x hundred students have been under his instruction; and if they could speak they would say that his life had been a life well s]:)ent, full of fruit, full of the noblest and most lasting riches that the human mind can produce. ' Professor Tustin was the first graduate of the youthful College called to its Faculty. He brought to its service the training he had received in its halls. Up to this time the Faculty was the concentration of influences from varied sources. Men cjf various States, graduates of various colleges combined their best life-work to build an institution having unity in di- versity. They now ally to themselves an exponent of their own successful effort. 12 We see in tlie new Professor tlic resultant of the forces at work in tlie first decade of tiie University. To judge tlieir work by his education, tliey must liave aimed at developing- an exalted type of consecrated manhood. Their cidture was no varnish or -enecr, but the evoking of all native powers, antl the (|uickening- of the whole man with lofty ideals. If the curriculum was not so full and elastic as that enjoyed by the student of the ' 90s, it was manifest that, as Aristotle says, Man ' s intellect is not formed so much b)- knowledge as l)v exercise. The voung Pro- fessor of the 60s had been trained in the classic languages and literatures by a teacher of profound linguistic attainments, and of peculiarly sensitive genius for interpretation and expression. But additional to the informa- tion and the discipline imparted in the class-room was the beautiful ]ier- sonality of the teacher, intluencing every student of open heart and mind, the daily life of the scholar and the gentleman, who reminded them of the divine man of Nazareth more than of Menelaus. No less marked was tlie training in Natural Sciences received from his illustrious predecessor in that Chair. The sciences have greatly developed in specialization, and in concrete methods of presentation in the last forty years; yet, for purposes of collegiate instruction, it may be honestly ques- tioned whether their use in the early Lewisburg class-room could be ex- celled. An acknowledged authority in Geology, a trained expert in Chem- istry, a devoted student of I hysiology, who had written text-books of wide use and celebrity, made his Chair distinguished by his masterful analysis, his .sublime generalization, and his powerful personality. Our young Professor ' s mathematical training was received from an instructor of remarkable talent and rare aptness to teach. There must be task-work in problems, and grind in formulae in any mathematical class- room; but there was much more in this one. Such claritv of demonstra- tion, such cogency of reasoning, such eloquence of exposition made many an impressible youth glow with the joy of discovery and the sense of achievement. .And these subjects. Languages, Sciences and Mathematics, were the field of his future instruction in his Alma Mater. Thus equipped, and thus ushered into the faculty of instruction. Pro- fessor Tustin, from the first, formed a link between the students and the Faculty, and between the Faculty and the Alumni. This intimate asso- •tion with the students, maintained throughout his thirtv years of instruc- tion, grew to be a veritable i)astoral office in its earnest moral and spiritual aim and result. Temporal interests were sure to claim consideration, where 13 higher help was so affectionately bestowed; and practical advice was sought and heeded by many. The peculiar temptation of college students, then as now, is to dis- couragement. The universe partakes of the coloring of the despondent spirit. The student loses confidence in himself, in his prospects and possi- bilities. Doors, which seemed about to open to his touch, now seem locked and double-bolted. Fortunate the student who remembered, in such a crisis, that Professor Tustin would be glad to see him! The kindly reception, the cheerv optimism, the hopeful reassurance of those interviews sent forth many a discouraged youth to battle more heroically, with fresh conviction of the worth of the fight, and the certainty of victory. It was a high and holv service to have been the encourager of so many needing help, soon to become, in turn, the helpers of their fellows. Professor Tustin was a conservator of the early traditions of the Uni- versity in the period of change, when the old order yielded place to the new. He prized the men and the methods of the early epoch. He was in close fel- lowship with the spirit of the founders, the aims and hopes of the good men who did so much hard work for God and humanity in these material founda- tions. No wonder that the spirit of conservatism possesses so strong a grasp on men who were acquainted with the greatness of beginnings. Hero-worship is spontaneous and genuine where the heroic abounds. But one element of this greatness is the hope that sees, afar, the ideal al- ready realized. Dr. Tustin had large visions of the importance of college work, and of the place this College was destined to hold in the Common- wealth, the denomination, and the national life. He cherished liberal plans for its development. In times of doubt he was thankful if he could aid in keeping the vantage gained: but he always looked beyond the difficulty to the future. He believed profoundly in the desirability of denominational administration of the higher education, because that meant Christian nurture for the educated youth of the land. Professor Tustin ' s valuable services in building the church-home for the great majority of the students likely to attend the University deserve the gratitude of all. He was the financial agent of the undertaking, and for years gave his leisure to caring for the accounts, the interest, and the indebtedness. He was an expert bookkeeper, and his services to the church were invaluable. To President Loomis is due the chief praise for the erection of an edifice, to which he gave, in royal fashion, time, thought, toil, and money. But Professor Tustin was his Secretary of the Treasury. - - n As a Councilman and Scliuol Director, Professor Tustiii accomplislied miicli to link together the interests of the town and tlie University. In the matter of streets and paxements, culverts and grades, rendering the Institution accessible from the townward side, we owe him much. He also brought the good-will of the townsfolk to the University. He was much loved by them for his neighl)orliness, and for his active interest in the peo- ple, their children, their churches, their schools. He frequently supplied neighboring pulpits of all denominations, and always ministered to the reali- zation of practical religion. In the house of mourning lie was a welcome visitor, whose comfort came from experience of its worth. Professor Tustin was a clear and forcil)le writer. His lectures were prepared with great care, and represented his mastery of the subject in hand. It was not the day of uni ersity presses, or his reserve might have been overborne, and ' olumes of lectures, bearing his name, might have seen tlie light. How ' aluable a A ' olume might now be gathered from his papers! When L ' Acexda boards tire of biography, let them seek these treasures, and give the older alumni a grateful surprise as they read a lecture by their old Professor. The newer men and undergraduates mav be pleased to see a specimen menu of Aliiia Mater ' s earlier table. Dr. Tustin was a man of faith and prayer. He believed, therefore he taught. His words were singularly free from cant. Pie was a man of tender emotions, easily stirred; yet he was reticent when their expression could produce no good effect. He regarded the Church of Christ as the highest institution on earth. The Christian college was dear to him, as a child of the Church. His work for both was work for his risen Lord. The Tustin Gymna.sium fittingly memorializes the first Alumnus Pro- fessor, because he helped to give final shape to the project as the contribu- tion of the Alumni to Ahiia Mater. He was the newly appointed Chair- man of the Committee, entering enthusiastically into his work, when he was stricken down in his harness. Almost spontaneously the plan of the gym- nasium took on the memorial character. His interest in the physical well- being of students was second only to his interest in what he considered higher values. Thiis, the Tustin Gymnasium speaks to the youth of after times about the mens sana in sano corpore, and recalls the good and true guide of former students to ways of high self-development, and of conse- crated Christian learning. 15 The Board of Trustees.

HE ideal college student is he who most fully attains the j urpose of college education. That purpose is character. The end of university education is knowledge; of professional and tech- nical education, skill; but that of the college is manhood. Now character is will. Knowledge and mental efficiency are instrumental to will. Will is the centre and substance of personality. The ideal college student develops will. This development invoKes energy and direction. Energy of will, like every other human quality, is largely a matter of in- heritance; but, like every other quality, may be developed or weakened by education. Energy of will is developed by right doing. Idleness debili- tates the will; vice rots it out. The activity must be persistent. Spasmodic activity has little educational -alue. The student needs to do his work with energy. It is not light reading, but reading lightly that weakens. The student must attack the ditificult subjects. Rosenkranz says that, if at the beginning of a day ' s mental work, a student will read a few pages of Kant, it will so tone up his mind that any other work will seem easy. On the other hand, if a man begins his day ' s work with the daily paper, his mind will proljably act flabbily all dav. Leave the easy till the work of the day is done. But, whether the subject be easy or ditificult, the chief thing is to do it with energy. Rest during waking hours should be change of activity. Recreation to be real must be a crea- tion of new will power. Repair belongs to the hours of sleep, and requires entire cessation. Rest, however, is not merely a change of work. For the mature this is tr ue; but for the young, the change must be from work to play. Play requires as much activity, and develops a certain kind of energy, as well as work. One set of extremists would make life all work, 21 a struggle against the unfavorable or the distasteful; another would make it all play, doing nothing but what is agreeable. The truth seems to He between. The youth nmst do the task, must earn his character by the sweat of his face; and, on the other hand, he must play, must give scope to imagination and freedom. But in work or play, he must do. There is no telling where the boys will come out; but one thing is pretty w-ell settled, that unless a student develops energy, and force of will, he will achieve lit- tle in the world. Of course, the student will not confound energy of will with immobility or passive resistance to external incitements, nor with the seeming activity which is forever preparing to do, but achieves nothing. The direction of will includes the end, the means, and the motive. There is need, consequently, of enlightenment, and one function of the col- lege is to enlighten the student in regard to himself, the world, and God. This enlightenment itself develops character; for knowing is always active. Knowledge of the world in which his activity is carried on, and his growth takes place, involves not merely physical, chemical, and organic science, but especially knowledge of man, both as an individual and as organized into society. The student will consequently acquaint himself chiefly with man. This does not mean that he shall study only literature, history, pyschology, sociology, but that he shall mingle with men, and become one with them. A large proportion of the failures of students arises from their ignorance of men. This knowledge of self, the world, and God, a knowledge which should be growing constantly clearer and deeper, furnishes the materials for judgment as to means and ends. The more energetic and forceful is the man ' s will, the more need there is of sound judgment: else his very energy will lead to ruin. While the choice of a profession may well be deferred till the end of the course, the choice of the great goal of life should be made early. The only end worthy of a man is the realizing in himself of the image of God, and the working together with others of like mind in realizing that same image in the souls of others, and in society at large. In the attainment of this end, and in the choice of subordinate ends and means, there will be ample scope for the exercise of judgment. The chief rules for judgment must always be the moral law. Ethics, practical and theoretical, must therefore be the subject of profound and life-long study. The student will devote himself to the study of morality as revealed in history and biography, and in the great moral poets, Aeschylus, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, and Browning; as set forth in Kant ' s Metaphysics of Ethic, and, for prac- 22 tical morality, in Wayland ' s Moral Scinuc: abi) e all, as given in that great repository of ethical truth, the New Testament. The student will bear in mind. ho ve er, that to know without doing is to build upon the sand. For complete moral action, right ends must be sought by right means, and with righteotis motives. Man has in common with the lower animals the will to live, as an impulse to action. This impulse is non-moral. He may also act from an idea of what is for his advantage. This is prudential conduct. A man may act from an idea of right, and this raises his conduct into the plane of the ethical. But doing right merely because it is right, and not with delight in right doing, is not the highest type of conduct. The highest motive is love. This is the supreme commandment on which depends all the law. Not that lo ' e supersedes law. Moral law is an ex- pression of the divine nature, and owes its validity to that fact; but God is love, as well as holiness; and the two are not opposites. The student, therefore, aiming at the highest manhood, must act from the highest motive, and pursue right ends by right means. This highest motive does not exclude the lower impulses, the will to live, nor the pursuit of happiness; but it subordinates them to itself, and, at the same time, purifies and ele- vates them. What was said of old concerning knowledge may be said of education. There are those who seek to know that they may sell their knowledge for riches, honors, or the like; and this is low venality. There are those who seek to know that they may be known, and this is mere vanity. There are those who seek to know that they may be upbuilt, and this is wisdom. There are those who seek to know that they may upbuild others, and this is love. Only those who seek to know that they ma}- upbuild and be upbuilt attain the true end of education, and so are ideal students. 23 %n Memoriam Mrs. Margaret T.

IGHTEEN liundred aiul ninety-seven! Can we fully comprehend the fact that our college course is so nearly run? We have listened in sympathetic silence as the last echo of the old year murmured its farewell upon the still night air. Our hearts have throbbed with expectancy as the bells of ' 97 pealed forth with joyful resonance: and now the hopes which formerly seemed so far away are about to be fulfilled. Our worthy predecessors of ' 96 enjoyed the honor of completing the first half century of our Varsitv history in a manner well worthy of such an important event, yet no fleeting regret that the pleasure of celebrating the Jubilee of Bucknell was granted to other sons and daughters than our- selves has cast a shadow upon our prosperity, for we account it an equal, if not a greater privilege to usher in the second era of the existence of our cherished Ahim Mater, destined, doubtless, to be much brighter and more progressive than the very successful one so recently closed. Another cause for self-congratulation is our numerical strength. In this respect we sitrpass any preceding class at the same stage of advance- ment, three new members having cast their lot with us since the last chapter of our history. This distinction, together with the accession to our Senior estate, may surely account for the increased dignity assumed by ' 97, even though this quality was manifest in no small degree in the deportment of our earlier years. As ever during its history, ' 97 has been active in establishing prece- dents. Prominent among these may be mentioned the Senior Lecture Course, comprising a number of especially instructive and attractive enter- tainments. The advantage of such a series is at once evident, not only in the benefit reaped by its patrons, but also in the prestige thus afforded the class under whose name it is given, and so, in accordance with the most correct scholastic style, 97 has ventured to introduce to Bucknell circles this hitherto unknown fashion. (See poem, p. 32. — Ed.) Then, too, our enterprise and musical ability uniting their forces have gathered treasures from many sources, the result of which effort is the ' 97 Song Book. 28 Owintj to the untiring energy of our Board, and the kind contrilnitions of friends, a very desirable collection of college songs has been compiled, and we trust it may be warmly received by every member of our student body as a loving tribute of ' 97 to its Alnui Mater. Washington ' s Birthday will ever be memorable in our history, for upon the 22d of February, 1894, the Freshman Banquet was inaugurated by ' 97. In conunemoration of this occasion a large number of our class brothers and sisters, upon the recent holiday, spent an informal evening together, proving by our ardent participation in the exercises that four years of con- stant association had but served to increase our appreciation of class-fel- lowship, and our mutual esteem. Nor would the history of ' 97 be complete should we omit to mention the intricate mazes and labyrinthine windings of Psychology and Ethics, through which we have safely made our way. Uncertain though the path may have been at times, having implicitly followed the guiding thread of explanation provided by the vigorous brain of our leader, we have tri- umphantly emerged from seemingly inextricable perplexities of soul, wiser, and, we trust, better j-oung men and women. Thus closes the record of 97 in the pages of L ' Acenda. Much that it has accomplished may be set forth in tangil)le form, but an untold remainder must depend for its perpetuation upon the influence it has exerted upon those with whom we have associated during these four never-to-be-forgotten years. Imperfect as the chapters of our history may be, it is with something of regret that for almost the last time it becomes both our duty and privilege to narrate the trials and vicissitudes, the joys and triumphs of our much loved 97. With the friend of its early classical efforts, may it not, however, afifirm with modesty, and yet in all truth: I ' ciii, lldi, P ici ? And are we not pardonable if proud that in so great a measure our motto, Esse iwii c ' idcri has been fulfilled? Trusting now that, even though no annual cft ' usion may longer serve as a reminder of our achievements, the record of our deeds has been so firmly engraved upon the hearts of those about us that we shall e er be remembered by what we ha ' e done, we bid farewell to our indulgent readers. Historian. 29 Class Poem. UR four years race is almost run, And almost over all our fun; Upon our course the golden sun Soon now will set. Our days in honest toil we ' ve spent: On long and dreary quests we went, For hunting truth was our intent Straight to its lair. Yet goodv grubs we ' ve never been, As testify our kith and kin. Full many contests did we win For Ninety-Seven. Although our heads now well are packed, And ancient lore has all been sacked, And nothing, nothing can we lack; We hate to leave. We soon, all clad in sagely gowns, With weeping loud and dreary sounds, Away must tramp to other towns, Against our will. So. under-classmen, ye, we greet, With kindly wishes, the elite Will gently lay lov,- at your feet Their mantle down. O raise it gently then, we pray! O wear it nobly, day by day! And now our parting word we say, Forget us not! Poet. 30 Class Roll. Georgk Fenner Bakkr, Dauphin, Pa. AiiRAM Sterlino Earner, Towanda, Pa. WiixiARi) Maine Bunnell, it r A, Montrose, Pa.

NE autumn day in ninety-three, ' hen tlie skies were balmy and fair, .V curious tribe at Old Bucknell Makes all the people stare. What tribe is this? All are much in doubt. Are they INIoors, or Pequods, or Gauls? Thev walk around with a haughty mien. And they seem to own the halls. The days go by full of feats, indeed. Which our tribe has brought to pass; A few of these feats we will mention now, Of this only original class: One beautiful ev ' ning, bright and clear. In the winter of ninety-four, Thev rush to the train, but miss the Sophs, Whose bantiuet has made them sore. So the Sophomores rooms are looted and swept. And their goods, some, indeed, can ' t be found; A pony and wagoii the Freshmen ha e used To haul them to Milton town. This tribe now calls up a new event ; ' Tis a bantiuet — a brilli;uit affair; Their punch, and their wines are right on tap. Here ' s a solace for all their care! The round they go of the Freshman year, ' Tis a record of glory (?) and gas. The secret lies in their title profound, ' e ' re the only original class. 32 ' M II. As Sopliomcn-es now observe their mien, They arc not as students at school; They strut aliout as Bncknell ' s trustees, But their title of Wise fool. In all of their zeal the}- strive most hard To prevent the Fresiiman, like owls, Stealing off at night to feast at the board, Leaving them to take care of the fowls. So a Freshman ' s roost they next attack, Then Sophomore laddie and lass. Have their hats adorned with chicken plumes To display the original class. :! III. The Junior year sees them all astir, In the well-known Armory Hall ; They startle the natives all around By announcing a Junior ball. We very much fear in after years That this class will be famous as those Who first at Bucknell, in the days gone by. Taught the babies to use their toes. The next that comes is a blue-i)acked book; It is full of artistic design. Just hold it out to the waiting crowd, They will buy it without a w-hine. With these two things so worthy of note, They go to Fame ' s temple cii iiiassc; The secret, indeed, is that title so grand, We ' re the onlv orisjinal class. IV. One year remains — the Senior; yes. In events ' tis not far behind; How many and long class meetings thev have! It must be a critical time. 33 Soon hand-bills appear, and all inquire, From what region now is their source; A Senior original, hence no surprise; It announces a lecture course. The first of these is a fitting start, Two Sides of the Dollar is on. Our President grand, so nobly stands To help, for their credit is gone. A song book they ' ve made us; tlicir spluvc tlicy Jiavc found! For it ' s worth all they ask us to pay. So reluctant we wait till they bid us farewell, And we part on Commencement Day. We wish them well, wherever they go, Wherever their lot may be cast; We ' ll credit them tho ' with wondrous conceit. As the only original class.

Not long, how- ever, until the ragged edges straightened, hayseed crops gave place to weeds of a smokier nature, and the transformation was begun. Such grace, such strength and wisdom, such embodiments of egoistic, pessimistic, would-be scholariastic ideas! Alas, all in incipiency! Surely Alma Mater tenderly leafs the pages of ' 98 ' s chrysalis state, kin- dergarten and prep schools to Junior glory. The Freshman and Soph- moric stages give evidence of increased mental capacity, and show marked development of mind and muscle. Feats of physical prowess run up records to ' 98 s credit. Brains, meanwhile, expanded. Brilliancy developed; also a capacity for hard work (see Leiser). Constant doses of geometry, chemistry, mechanics, administered by solicitous professors, were eagerly taken. By such rigorous treatment ' 98 was evolved. As the Junior year draws to a close we rapidly glance over the part we played. Athletics, class pictures, L ' Agenda, etc., have prospered under our care. We agreed with Shakespeare in the old adage, All work and no play, and had a Junior ball. Our financial standing is good. We have a surplus of Gold, and mourn over several deluded silver men. L ' Agenda ' s out, and everybody is happy. Harmony prevails in our ranks. Our business manager made ends meet. So we close our history with happy hearts. Virtus in actioiic coiisistit has been our motto. We stand as monuments of its efficacy. This hon- ored ma.xim we commend to all who follow in our footsteps. Here ' s to ' 98! Drink it down; drink it down! Here ' s to ' 98! Drink it down! Here ' s to ' 98! May she still keep up to date! May she win the highest honor and renown. Historian. 38 ' 98. E have climljed a little higher, On the third step now we stand; Climbed with eager, earnest effort. And the strength at our command. When we entered here as Freshmen — Only these four steps in sight — Life seemed then to be just opening, And its work — to climb this Bight. But when on an elevation, Broader far one ' s vision grows. And what then we thought perfection, Now ' s a bud, and not a rose. For the years we spend in college, Though they ' re joyous, happy, free. Are the promise, the begimiing, Of the life that is to be. As this life spreads out before us. Showing paths and duties new, May we for these duties ever Noble be, and pure, and true. And the step that still is left us. May we all with ease attain; May we, stepping firmly, surely, For life ' s battle full strength gain.

As this is to be a history of the deeds of the Sophomore Class, what happened between the time of the writing of our former chapter and the end of our Fresh- man career has no place on these pages. Probaljly the object of greatest interest to the ex-Freshman on return- ing to school is the Freshman. School had opened but a short time when his jealous-looking yellow made its first appearance in the Chapel. Such a flaunting of colors was never seen Ijefore, and the row of seats occupied by the wearers looked like a mass of dilapidated sunflowers. The yellow hung in huge tassels from the girls ' hats, it floated in lengthy streamers over the shoulders of the male portion, casting its sickly glare upon their faces, reminding us of that very much abused youngster, The Yellow Kid. The next occurrence worthy of mention is that time-honored event, the Sophomore Banquet. The Freshies thought we would endeavor to continue this old custom, but it never occurred to them that it would be attempted right under the shadow of the college walls. However, such was the case. It was decided that we should hold a banquet on the even- ing of the 4th of February, at the Cameron House. It was with a little fear and apprehension that many members of the Class agreed to this, as it was evident that it would necessitate great alacrity on the part of our Committee. But the secret was jealously guarded, and at ii P. M. the entire Class was safely inside the hotel doors. The festi ities were under wav about an hour when the Freshmen appeared in a liody, and set up such a hideous howl that one w ' ould have thought they were trying to storm our stronghold in somewhat the same manner as the walls of Jericho were besieged. They then attacked the windows and doors at all points, con- centrating tiie assault chiefly upon the kitchen, but their efforts proved unavailing. The attendants saluted them with a storm of dishwater, so offensive that they finally a1)andoned their plans. When the}- departed they left a very suggestive substitute. In some wa}- a bottle of Sul- phuretted Hydrogen was slipped through one of the windows, and was be- ginning to spread its disgusting odor throughout the room when its pres- ence was recognized, a search instituted, the offending article found and 50 removed. A few minutes ' airinij made the room as fresli as ever. From tliat time on tlie hamiuet proceeded witliout interru])tion, and tlie Fresh- men, finthng- that tiiey could wreak their vengeance in no other way, stole tlie girls ' wraps, a trick for which they had good reason to be heartily ashamed. In accord with the ])urpose and scope of this history, we can only men- tion the Freshman Ban(|uet, at which none of the class officers were present, having been taken into custody by the Sophs, and held until after the rest of the class had departed. Washington ' s Birthday passed peacefully, and as the Freshmen made not even an attemjit to wave their flag, or display their colors, we concluded that the - preferred peace to continued hostilities. The Sophomores made the next advance by tendering the Freshmen a reception, and thus es- tablished good feeling l etween the two classes. It was subsequent to this that we received a challenge to a series of three inter-class basket-ljall games. The scores of the two games played, 14 to 8, and 12 to 10, in our favor, tell their own story more forcibly than any account we could give. After thus showing our superiority over the Freshmen, it was natural that we should seek glor} ' in another direction, and it was with considerable anxiety as to the result of the contest that we arranged a game with the Juniors. But we had underrated our own ability. Our team had rolled up a total of seventeen points before the Juniors made a single one, and the seven points marked up to their credit were due to our own carelessness. Our Freshmen have changed for the better since the occurrence of the above incidents, the outcome of silly wdiims and fancies frantic of early davs. In closing we sincerely say that, if we have dealt harshly with them, we hope that our readers will not interpret this as the expression of unkind feeling; and, as we near the ranks of upper classmen, we believe that oiu ' place will be filled by a class whose members are able to sustain the honor of their position. Historian. 51 The Class Flower. F all tlie flowers of wayside, field, or wood; Of all those earth ' s bright graces that have stood Since ken of man, to mark the loving hand Of Him, through nature. Lord of sea and land; Of all whose fragrance, liVce inspiring song. Can make weak men to bear life ' s burdens strong; That gleam and dot the landscape, bright and free, Like stars, those emblems of eternity; Of all these gems in summer ' s soothing green, Come, tell us which is fairest, which is queen. Is it the ' iolet, that dainty flower, That sweet, shy darling of the April shower. Whose fragrance, rising lightly from its bed, Recalls the mem ' ry of a loved one, dead? Or the forget-me-not, who se rays enfold ' hen yet unoped, that heart of trusty gold. Emblem of faithfulness, that better part. That deepest yearning of the faithful heart? Or yet that gaunt, rough plant of a hundred years, Li whose gay scape a jealous glint appears. Emblem, perhaps, of patience on this earth, Yet still a century Iiehind its birth? Or rather now, the best of all the throng. To whom chief grace and beauty all belong. That love and loyalty for aye inspired. What is it but the rose with crimson fired? The rose, the fondest child of dimpled spring. The daintiest in perfume and design. Sly Cupid ' s crown, the fairest blooming thing. The royal crimson rose of Xinety-Nine. Poet, 52 Vi Class Roll.

They arrived here one Septemher, As, of course, you all remember, And we hope they ' ll get away from here on time. Now, there ' s Hazen, their first President ; Of Ohio he ' s a resident; Who in the first election struck bad luck, For I only need to mention That the Class in that contention. Elected Joseph Hazen, the Canuck. Please don ' t think Pm a-lying-, When I say Pm simply trying To get his name in here before I pass; But I know that A. R. Garner, If a pumijkin-husking farmer. Might take the clownish honors of his class. There is a girl that seems to be Somewhat entranced by botany. But, Frank, beware — that dream we know is silly; For seeming love can never mar That girl ' s strong inclination for Another kid, whose name is G. S. Tilley. The medico-legal Decker Is of jurymen a wrecker. For this he tells the twelve men, good and true: That his client has the ptosis. And has likewise ecchymosis; And the Judge gets fits, and the case falls through. 55 Griffith will practice for a year By simply holding down his chair, And a patent crown of rest he will wear; For in his vest his heart will beat With thuds and thumps so incomplete, That he will be a blue-babe, I declare. And when Hall, the great musician. Leaves Bucknell with his commission. Every one for deliverance will cry ; They ' ll be struck with musicitis, Or else with appendicitis. And it all will end with mansions in the sky. Meeker is going to Japan, And will go onward, if he can, To convert the heathen Chinese — and then He would like to have me mention. That he ' ll get, perhaps, a pension, Or the pigtail from the head of Li Hung Chang. Harvey is also going East To have a missionary feast. I don ' t advise him not to go. Who could? The cannibals are civilized; That is, if they are hypnotized: And they may feast and take him for their food. Keen, the veterinarian, ' ill give tom-cats delirium; The worst effects I will not mention now. We will see him at Gray Gables, Later on, in Grover ' s stables, Giving Cleveland ' s patent lotions to a cow. There ' s nobody from Mahoning, But there ' s Catter from W yoming, Who says he will be busy day and night S6 Uiidoniealli tlic black man ' s skin, He ' ll inject some whitening in, And the niggers in the South will al turn white. Le Van thinks nothing passed by him, So he ' ll put politics in trim, And advocate high tariff on the stump; But when you get the breath of gin, ' ou may find to your chagrin That he ' s just been to the tavern on a drunk. Mulford will fake the world with soap, And. maybe, end where ends a rope. He thinks all things will move as smooth as ice, But of green-goods he ' ll fill his sock, And all his clothes will go in hock, . nd then, girls, will vou think he is so nice? Catell ' s got a great invention, And he says it ' s his intention To give his patients phosphorus with nitrites; And then if they are convalescent They ill all be ])hosphorescent. And the town will ne er need electric liarhts. Engle all his wits will rally To practice down in Hogan ' s Alley; To deny it will its truthfulness increase. His sign upon the big front door, Engraved in clots of crimson gore. Will read, Dogs re-tailed at fifteen cents apiece. Now, then, comes your humble ser ant; Perhaps he is not deservant; I ' ve got to put his name in here, I guess.

This is the class which nature reserved to be associated with the last and crowning glories of the nineteenth century. In Septeml)er, 1896, there appeared at the classic doors of Bucknell, as if in answer to a signal call, a band of new-comers, the like of which had never before graced her halls. Their appearance reminded one of the gods and goddesses of pre-historic times. The men were in countenance like unto mighty Jove, the women fair as the wood nymphs who dwell in grassy dells at the sources of rivers, amid lofty, wooded mountains. Among other things, we o1)serve that this illustrious class chose as their emldematic color, gold. It seems but fitting and natural that they should adopt this color, thereby typifying their worth. It is interesting to note that almost all the world ' s great decisions of that time were given in favor of gold. These new-comers had some slight premonition of their great future. For their symbolic flower they selected the blossom of the century plant, which, like the century class, makes its appearance once in a hundred years; but, when it does come, one brief hour of radiant glory atones for all the long years of obscurity. This class also seems to have had enemies, imagined or real, for many anxious ones were known to be watching and dogging the strangers ' foot- steps with the tireless activity and cunning stealthiness of panthers. Two pictures of hapj y feasters ha ' e come to us — one of men and women, secure behind bolts and bars, partaking of a joyous banquet, amid music, jest, and jollity, while the anxious ones roam without, aimless and discontented, like unhappy souls wandering on Stygian shores. Those within are the members of this Class of 1900: the occasion is the Freshman Ban- cjuet, and they are happy. The sad ones without are the members of the Class of ' 99. How weary their fruitless chase has made them! Another picture completes the story, and reveals the most enjoyable of all the scenes. It represents a company, twice as large as the other, in which all is joy without, as well as within; standing forth prominently is the inscription, E diiobus iinuiii. 59 i These experiences must surely Ijelong to heroic nuen and women. Many years have passed since these things began to be, and we may only conjecture the significance of the pictures; we cannot tell their full mean- ing. The ancient canvas, conscious of its power, holds its secret still. We shall, perhaps, never know its concealed history until the earth shall break her silence, and all the past become known. Historian. 1 Class Poem. ACH age is known in history By wars and civil strife; Each class surrounds in mystery Its deeds and secret life. And now the ancient, skimbering seers Start up from land and sea, And drive away their doleful fears For the ninteenth century. A fitting acme comes in view To mark this lapse of time; An acme to its standard true, Pre-eminence in mind. E ' en prophets gaze with wondering eyes To see the race we ' ll run, Eor no one Ywes who now defies The halo of the sun. At morn our golden color studs The East, where beauty rests; And coursing on its way, it floods At eve the balmy West. The fates have plotted oft, and planned Just how they should unite. From all this free and happy land, A class of will and might. 60 But W ' lieii Septemher ' s golden morn Drox ' c darkness in retreat, A class for college life was horn For happy fates to meet. Kind fortune smiles a faithful smile, She smooths our rugged road ; She helps us onward all the while: She lifts our heavy load. At her kind hand the viands lay. On hanquet table spread; While ( oTt '  bcloxc. in great array, There raged the heathen red. Our laurels are the gifts of fates. Not wrought by human gore. But guarded safe within the gates. Foretold in tales of yore. Onr race is only just begun, ' Tis our part to surjiass. To win the prize by having won Renown for the Century Class. ;;= A century has passed and gone; A hundred years will come and go, Before again the mystic dawn Upon a Century Class will glow.

The degree of proficiency to which we have attained (and we would not be egotistical), is due (i) to our good fortune in having fine material: (2) to personal recognition of individual responsibility, and (3) to favorable environment. Each member is an excejitional jihilomath, and in his researches has plunged deeper and deeper, until the very foundations of knowledge lay bare. As a class we believe we have made a fa orable impression upon the instructors. From the lower classes we are recipients of great respect, but to the Class of ' 96 we are an awe-inspiring band. This latter fact was shown on several occasions, notably in athletics. More than once a challenge to some contest or other confronted these ' 96ers, and just as often was re- turned to us with thanks, or rejected in fright. Toward the close of their last year an amusing incident occurred in connection with the arrangements for our contest in elocution. This class, according to the time-honored custom, was invited to furnish us -with ushers, but they, wishing to be requested, began a [jhilological contest among themselves, which resulted in the return of our conununication. We were dumfounded, but not found dumb, for they perceived that we were able to jiaddle our own canoe. In athletics we are stil ildine: our own. We can claim three mem- bers of the team that won the inter-scholastic championship: we also are the first academic class to have two members on the ' Varsity foot-ball team. One thing further, in the intellectual line, that we cannot overlook is the great advance in oratory made by the Class. It is marked, indeed, and as we shall soon close our career with a brilliant exhibition of our powers upon the stage, we mention it that advantage may be taken of the opportunity to hear us. We bid fair to rival the masters of the art of elo- quence. In the above outline we trust we have given all the information neces- sary at present, and enough to prepare, for the race, those with whom we expect to come in contact next year.

Their lieads liave attracted so much attention that there must be a halo about them; surely they are the chosen few. The Facult) ' have materially assisted their ]nipils in reach- ing the exalted position from which the young men — and boys — survey the scene. The efforts wiiich were put forth by the instructors were well- meant, and accomplished some good results: but, alas! the heads of the in- structed ha e acquired imdue proportions — whether from imitation or exhortation, or both, we cannot say. But the glory which attaches to the success of this difficult enterprise must be properly distributed — tiie literary societies contributed to the result. The meetings of these societies are well attended. Some members do not contribute much to these mutual develop- ment organizations, for, while a few have beautiful words to make up for a lack of ideas, others have most charming ideas, but no words with which to set them forth. Athletics is their forte. The pennant for field sports they won. Long will memory and tongue keep alive the glorious and decisive victory which was won over the schools of Central Pennsylvania. Their athletes were born, not made, and need no training. The gym was built for an ornament; a cinder track would be a nuisance — it would be a useless wear and tear on the shoes, and would he liable to give one that tired feeling. Their part in foot-l)all and base-ball is beyond the power of tongue or pen to describe. The Cad is a hot-bed for such heroes. Why, even the athletes from the college dine with these nmch-talked-about young men. The weaker sex always smiles upon them. (Because the sex is weak? — Ed.) For some reason they all desire the acquaintance of the Cads, and not one of them is allowed to monopolize a Prep., for the girls have taken an oath that no one of their number shall go with a Prep. more than twice, in order to give the others a fair opportunity. The ' Sems. ' always 70 liave been ours; tlie ' College Ciirls ' alone are a new and initried field, an l here we will yet be victorious. Thus their i)rophet speaks. The ' . M. C. A. is in a prosperous condition. The ministerials stand back and let others form the backbone of the organization. Lessons and talks in the Association are too trifling, so they spend their lime in writing- sermons. Many a book from the Theological alcove has been dusted by the aspiring preachers. Practice, not money, is their object. There is no room for such work right at home, so some distant mission among the farms or mines is their goal. Modesty, not space or time, forbids mention of other virtues. Space could be bought; time hangs heavy on our hands. There is no unfultilled hope languishing in their breasts; no desire which is unsatisfied; but there is one regret, ' AMiy must n ' c become Freshmen? And Now He s Done For. Two bright blue eyes, Some little curls. A maiden, dainty, fair, A college cap. A tassel red. Coquetting with her hair.

E ' ER will we forget our introduction to the Institute. We came with our mammas, who, after noting the substantial green fence around the campus, and satisfying themselves that tiiere was no more dangerous reading in the library than the Elsie books, left us, with confident hearts, in Mrs. Larison ' s care. Then was heard great lamentation in Bucknell, ' 97 weeping for her dolls, ;uid would not be comforted, because they were not. But soon we found that there were some nice little boys to amuse us sometimes; so, stifling our sobs, we set bra ely to work. Soon we learned to play with hearts. As we poor little pilgrims first gazed at the dizzy heights before us, fear blanched every cheek. Rut did any of us think of turning back? No, not one! With a prayer to Minerva, we grasped our catalogues in our hands, and commenced the arduous ascent on foot; for we scorned the use of ponies. 73 The first ol)stacle to be surmounted was Latin. It was at this time that we learned to say aino tc Ancient and Modern Histories taught us that we could make our lives sublime, and we pushed on over Mathe- matics and Sciences, upheld by the noble desire to show to coming classes that wliat woman has done can be done. When we came to Literature, the shades of Milton, Shakespeare, Bacon, Johnson, and Carlyle drew near as we discoursed and murmured Braz ' a! At length we stood, flushed and trembling, before Dr. Harris to recite Pschyology. He inquired our ages, assigned a page for study, shut his eyes — and we ha ' e not yet received our grades. And now that we have nearly reached the summit, we pause a while to rest, and recount the episodes of the way. Many were the springs of pleas- ure from which we drank: and. though temptation and discouragements assailed us, we bore the charm which ' anquished these. So, grown greater mentall}- and physically, we prepare for higher things; for there is another hill beyond, more difficult of ascent, to which the resolute aspire. Historian.

I had lieard so many things alxnit tiie de- vouring hunger whicli tiie inmates of tiiis institution pos- sessed for all masculinity, and it was these rumors which caused the tinglmg sensation on approaching. As 1 haughtily strode up the path leading to the main entrance nu- merous smiling faces protruded from the third-story windows, anil had it not been their custom to thus favor any old pantalooned thing, the Hat- ter - would have l)een into.xicating. I was ushered into the reception room, which was marked hy its simplicity — furniture, decorations, accommoda- tions, all very plain. She wore a smile of suppressed ecstasy on entering, and immediately proceeded to deliver the usual flow of formal flattery. We had met during the summer on occasion of a few weeks ' camping. She had not then de- cided to attend Bucknell, and I was delighted to learn on my return of her presence at the Seminary. We sat enjoying the rehearsal of camp remi- niscences, and miscellaneous other topics. 1 must ha ' e been there fully thirty minutes (subsequently I learned one might sta} ' thirty-three minutes if he called at 6.30 P. L. promptly), and was in the midst of a pleasant recollection when an ominous noise rasped on our ears, a tremendous clanging at the er_ - door, it seemed. Oh, )ou must go — that horrid gong always sounds too soon! I promised to call often. And now she is only one of Mrs. Larison ' s pets, who no longer wears a glaring poster with the inscription thereon, Boy Wanted! 75 Other Classes, MiNETTA May Anderson, Catherine Ruth Bower, Maria Maud Godhard, Nelle Eva Hower, FOURTH YEAR.

Brush Work— A Broad Wash, 78 .:iiiiniH ufOfUauTixiiTi Debut of the Institute Girls, FTl ' R very lonj:;- delilieratioii, and after due consideration, we ield to our solicitation, and come l)efore the fierce eye of the criticizing;- public, we, the Institute girls. Girls, girls, girls, girls! All are separate little whirls. Yet a group of satellites are we. Dwelling with our chaperones contentetlly. It is a prixilege to he a Seniinar ' inmate. The resjiect and lionor that is paid to us in the forms of serenades, yells, and musical Frat. whistles show to us that we are beyond a doubt the subject of much thought and consideration. We are a large family, l:)asking in the approving (?) smiles of our teachers, who e -er ha e a z ' atclifiil eye upon us, and also upcMi the transoms of our doors about the time of evening when the Baptist bells strike dccciii. The family gathers thrice daily in the room of mysteries. The eager- ness witli wliich we flock is manifested by the way one of our basket-ball heroines makes a grand rush, throws herself at a chair as she would throw a ball into the goal. Her room-mate, a tall Grace-ful girl, not being such an athlete, generally has the privilege of promenading up to a certain table with the other unfortunates. And the decorations! Ma(y)l.)el(l)s adorn the tables at every meal, except, perchance, at breakfast, when our largest flower and our Freshman Mabel may still 1)e drooping their heads with the sleep they sought too late the night before. Then we ha e to depend upon the Senior tal)le, which has a double share of these fair flowers. Cards are shocking, we ail agree, Ijut a simple game of progressive hearts is permissible, and is jilayed quite extensively at the institution. The mo t experienced pla_ ' er is the Marguerite, of the Scm. She is at the first table and has charge of the little Bell. The game is made cpiite exciting by the way an aggressive Senior Raikes the hearts in. W ' e all Grant that the game played between a Special and a curly-headed Freshman is becoming alarmingly serious. Boys are fond of sweets, as is evident by the way they gaze up at a certain suite as they make their daily journeys past it. One of the occu- pants of this suite is De Witt-iest girl of the Sem., who wasted all her 79 affections on a rag (inadruped, which nngratefiilly disappeared, and was the cause of Pearse-ing regret. It might be a subject of interest to those studying zoology to know that Campljells are fond of Noyes. Besides the divisions of the sisterly (sorority) girls there are the im- portant Seniors, who try to gain the respect and reverence due them b ' telling of the great responsibilities resting upon their shoulders, and are rewarded by ha -ing the lesser Seminary girls gaze in awe and wonder and admiration. Third and Fourth Formers are waiting impatiently for the lime to come when thev ma ' make their debut in Bucknell society. Their minds are rapidly expanding, and when they mount the rostrum and re- ceive the diploma of knowledge the star of brilliancy will have reached its zenith. The Specials are the girls reser -ed to show to visitors and strangers as representatives of the Sem-i knowledge of the University. The dreamy art students see beauty in all things, and even discern the light and shade in the fried potatoes and coffee, and it will lie no surprise if. in after years, the work of our aesthetic artists is exhibited as the work of the old mas- ters. The Music Seniors talk in a calm and composed way about the works of Handel, Haydn, or Bach as you or I would speak of ] IcKinley, Bryan, and Dr. Harris. Thev are noted for the harmony in their department, and it will not he long before Bucknell or Sousa ' s band will be executing some of their difficult productions. This is an age of wonders, and so Ijehold us, the l)eacons of light and knowledge — we, the strong-minded girls of the nineteenth centurv, who in future da_ ' S will mount to tlie jniljiit or the White House chair, or have little law offices of our own; who will sway the politics of the country with our massive brains and brilliant intellects and good judgment. We send our greetings. The Way it Turned Out. The Semite spurned my offer. She meant to write a book or two. And left me in despair; And bear a noted name.

One class fraternity, Tlieta Delta Tau, is also main- tained, and in the Institute the two sororities, Beta Delta Phi, and Pi Phi. Phi Kappa Psi, the first to enter the school, founded its fifth chapter, Penna. Gamma, here in 1855. The existence of the chapter was for some years kept secret for fear of opposition from the Faculty. A local organiza- tion. Iota, was established 1861. Dr. Gessler, a member of this societ)-, was instrumental in securing for it, in 1864, a charter from Sigma Chi. Their existence becoming known the Faculty endeavored to exterminate the two chapters. A chapter of Theta Delta Chi, which had been established in 1866, died in 1871, and in the same year the members of Phi Kappa Psi gave up their charter to their Alumni on account of Faculty persecution; Init Sigma Chi endured through it all, till in 1S79 a more liberal policy pre- ' ailed, and all opposition ceased. Phi Kappa Psi was revived in 1880, and two years later Phi Ganmia Delta founded their Delta chapter, which, though encountering some difficulties early in its career, soon pushed its way to a high position in the opinion of the student body, and is now con- sidered one of the best chapters of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The Penna. Zeta chapter of Sigma .Alpha Epsilon was organized by J. M. ' astine, of State College, with si.x charter members, June 19th, 1893. In its early existence some internal difficulties were experienced, which neces- sitated the expulsion of four men, who originated Phi Epsilon, a local soci- ety. Since this the chapter has prospered, and for the past two }-ears has been enjoying the advantages of a chapter-house. Pi Beta Phi established their Penna. Beta Chapter February, 1895. For one so young the chapter has won a warm place in the hearts of all at Buckneli. For a time they occuijied a chapter-house, but were compelled by the Faculty to give it up. In March, 1895, Delta Cha])ter of Theta Delta Tau was formed with five members. This is a Freshman organiza- tion, admitting onlv Fraternitv men. Phi Epsilon, the local society, obtained a charter from Kappa Sigma December nth, 1896. The chapter was installed by George Powell, of Cornell, with twelve charter members. 82 History of Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity i riii I a])]ia Psi Frateniit}- was ort; anize l at Jeli ' erson CoUes fe, Pennsyh ' aiiia, in 1S5J, 1)y C.

The Grand . rch Council meets e ery two years, and is composed of delegates chosen by the respective chapters. The Executive Council is the executive power of the fraternity; it has con- current original jurisdiction with the Grand . rch Council, and appellate jurisdiction as pro ided in the laws of the fraternity. The fraternity is divided into four districts, and each district has a Dis- trict Council, which meets every two years, alternating with the Grand Arch Council. The District Council is composed of delegates elected by the chapters of the district. The presiding officer of the District and Dis- trict Council is called the Archon. Chapters are created by ' irtue of char- ters issued by the (irand . rch Council, or Executive Council. The Shield is the official organ of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and is published under the authority and direction of the h lxecutive Council. The editorship of The Shield is at present in the hands of one of Pennsyl- vania Gamma ' s loyal sons.

History of Sigma Chi Fraternity. HE Signui Clii fraternity was founded at Miami University, Ox- ford, Ohio, June 20tii, 1855, by Isaac M. Jordon, Ben P. Run- kle, James P. Cadwell, Frank H. Schol)y, Daniel W. Cooper, Thomas C. Bell, and William S. Lockwood. Miami was at this time a unique institution in history and spirit — one of those universities which have sprung into infiuence and power through aid from the Gc_) -ernment, and has in many ways exerted a marked inlluence upon the educational tlevelopiuent of the nation. It was a bold stand taken by the seven founders of a new fraternit) ' at Oxford. Eighteen rivals were in the College. In the face of such odds it was an act of courage to organize a new and independent fraternity. But the confidence of the founders of Sigma Chi was based upon the belief that the principles which they professed and the ideal of fraternity which they sought was but imperfectly realized ])y the organizations bv which they were surromided. The establishment of Sigma Chi was a protest against artificiality and pretense, a plea for personal independence and for congeniality and genuine friendship as the only I)asis of association in a college brotherhood. It was a repudiation of the theory that would subordinate fraternit - to strength of organization. When the war broke out ten chapters were on the fraternity roll. Four of the ten chapt ers were south of Mason and Dixon ' s line, Ijut sec- tionalism was the last criticism that could have been made upon the frater- nity. Active work was carried on through the war, and the roll kept in- creasing until at the present date the active chapters number fortv-eight. 87 Kappa Chapter Founded, 1864. FRATRES IN URBE. Hon. H.

The founders were John T. McCarty, James Elliott, D. Webster Crofts, Samuel B. Wilson, Ellis B. Gregg, and Naanian Fletcher. Alpha enjoyed a prosperous existence until the union of Washington and Jefferson Colleges. It began then to gradually decline, and became extinct in 1879, but in the following year was revived bv the absorption of the fraternity of Phi Delta Kai)pa. The Beta, established the same year as Alpha at Washington College, became consolidated with that chapter when the colleges were united. The first Gamma Chapter lived but a year; the first Delta was killed by the war, was revived in 1870, and continued to flourish until 1873, when the University was abandoned and the Faculty removed to Jackson, Tenn. Epsilon, Eta, and Theta were killed by the war. The first Iota fraternity lived but a year; the second, at Williams College, deserted to another fra- ternity (Zeta Psi). Lambda, the next chapter, was established at Green- castle, Ind., and marked a new era in the existence of the fraternity, it being no longer confined to the South. The first Eastern chapters were Upsilon, at the College of the City of New York, and Omega, at Columbia College. The Nu Deuteron Chapter at Yale, established in 1875, was withdrawn in 1880 because its members wished to become a junior society; it has since been revived on a satisfactory basis. The second Beta at the University of Pennsylvania, established in 1881, died in 1887, but was soon revived. The second Delta was established at Bucknell in 1882. From the foundation of the fraternity until 1868 the Alplia was the Grand Chapter, and was the centre of government. The Grand Chapter is now composed of members of the three chapters in New York Citv, together with some resident members from other chapters. For con- venience in administration the fraternity was divided into districts in 1880. The journal of the fraternity was first issued as a monthly in 1879, under the auspices of the Ohio Wesleyan Chapter, and was called the Phi Gamma Delta. It was cjuarto in form. In 1884 it was changed to a quar- terly, removed to Greencastle, and reduced in size to an 8vo. In 1886 it was removed to New ork, and the name was changed to the Plii Gamma Delta Quarterly. It suspended in 1888. In the spring of 1889 its pubH- cation was resumed under the direction of the chapter at Meadville, Pa. 91 Delta Chapter, Established 1SS2. Colors : — Royal Purpk.

Fourteen chai)ters had been established at the outbreak of the Rebel- lion, when most of the members left educational fields for the more arduous duties of war. About two hundred and fifty were killed in the conflict, while many of those who survived won great renown. The chapter- at Georgia Military Institute entered the Confederate service at Resaca, and continued as an organization through(nit the war. General G. P. Harrison, Congressman from Alabama, was a meml)er of this chapter. The founder of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Noble Leslie De Votie, was the first man to lose his life in the Confederate service. About fourteen years ago the fraternity, casting aside sectional preju- dices, began to extend into the North and West. That wisdom and care were used in this extension is proved by the fact that of the thirty chapters established in the North all Init two are in a flourishing condition. Many of the Southern chapters, like those of some other fraternities, have suft ' ered from the Civil War and from college Faculties, who, in their misguided attempts to kill fraternities, have been guilty of depriving many students of the benign and humanizing influences of these organizations. In 1880 Sigma Alpha Epsilon began the publication of its official organ. The Record, which has since appeared regularly, being now a cjuarterly of one hundred and eight pages per issue. A secret quarterly magazine, Plii Alpha, has l)een maintained since 1892, the last issue containing one hundred and six pages. The fifth History and Cataloi ue was published in 1893; the next will be produced in 1899. Annual conventions were held until 1894, when it was decided io hold National and Province Conventions biennially in alternate years. At the 95 last National Convention, at St. Louis. December 28th. 29th, 30th, 1896, over one hundred delegates were present. Between conventions the g ' o ' - ernment of Sigma Alpha Epsilon is vested in a Supreme Cotmcil of fi ' e mem- bers. The fifty-six acti e chapters are divided into se en Provinces, each ha ' ing its own subordinate council. Of late years Sigma Alpha Epsilon has become conservati c in regard to extension, and has laid considerable stress u[)on internal impro -ement. On account of the Southern origin of the fraternity, and the youth of its Northern chapters, most of the prominent Alumni are Southerners, among them being President ' illiam McKinley. ex-Postmaster lienerai ' m.

C. Sorosis of Pi Beta Phi. The English letters, however, were ery soon dropped, and it retained only the Greek Pi Beta Phi. It was incorporated under the laws of Illinois in 1889. For many years charters were granted only in the Western States, and Pi Beta Phi was known as a ' estern fraternity. Within the last few years, howe -er, chapters have heen organized in many prominent Eastern colleges, and the fraternity now has the largest chapter roll of any woman ' s Greek-letter organization. Pi Beta Phi meets in l)iennial convention. Diu ' ing the interim of con- vention the government is vested in a Grand Council, consisting of five members. In the alternate •ear of ccjuvention a national reunion is held in one of the large cities. The different Proxnnces. of which there are four, also meet in biennial convention. The join nal of the fraternity is The Arrow, which is pul)lished (juarterly. A fraternity song-l ook has also been published, and another entirelv new song-book will be issued during this year. Among prominent Alumnae ma ' be mentioned Miss Gertrude Broghton Blackwelder, the well-known authority on Norse mythology; Florence Finch Kelly, a most successful factor}- ins])ector; Carrie Lane Chapman, the suffrage lecturer; . nnie Fuller, the well-known oratorio singer; Mrs. Jessie L. Gaynor, the delightful composer of songs for chil- dren, and many others prominent in literattu ' e, art, and music. 100 Pi Beta Phi, Founded, 1867. Colors : — Silver Blue anil Wine.

From thence chapters were established at the University of Florence, Italy, and at the Universities of IMontpelier, Orleans, and Paris, in France. It included among its members some of the greatest men of modern Europe, the most celebrated, ]ierhaps, being Michael An- gelo and Napoleon Bonaparte. Two Virginians, Drs. Hollingsworth and Arnold, while studving in Paris in 1866, were initiated into the secrets of the order by the famous De Bardi family, antl were gi en permission to establish it in America. Upon their return to the United States the following year they founded a chapter at the Uni ' ersity of Virginia. It was apparently their intention to maintain Kappa Sigma at that in- stitution as a purely local society. This idea prevailed until six years later, «hen, in 1875, the order began to Ijranch out into other fields, a more liberal and broad-minded polic}- having been adopted. Since that time the ex- tension of the fraternit}- has been rapid, though conser ative as to the class of institutions entered and the class of men invited, until to-day Kappa Sigma is known, feared, and respected in fort_ -four of the best institutions of the country. Twelve of these chapters occupy commodious chapter- houses, a few owning their own ]iroperty, others renting, while there is hardly a chapter that has not a building fund accumulating with a view of Ijecoming a propert}- holder at some future period. The policy of the fra- ternity since the date of its first efforts at extension has been broad and liberal, and singularly free from those prejudices engendered by sectional lines. To Kappa Sigma belongs the distinction of being the first fraternity of Southern origin to plant a chapter in the North, that chapter to-day being a vigorous and creditable branch. The go ernment of the fraternity is vested in a Committee of Five, 106 FT XniTIg g known as llu- Suprenic lv ccnti c t ' oniniittcc. who lia c the power to ranl cliarUTs. and arc llic conservators of the interests of the fraternity Ijclwcfii conclaves, as the national conventions of the fraternity are called. In 1SS3 the fraternity hei;an the publication of an official origan, non- secrcl in nalin-c, known as the Oiuirlcrly. which was in icSijo changed to The Coi iiccus, and from a quarterly to a bi-monthly, six numbers consti- tuting a ' olume. The magazine has always been successfully conducted, and is to-day recognized as one of the leaders among the Greek-letter pub- lications. The fraternity in 1SS3, and again in 1885, issued a catalogue, and another is now in press, a more pretentious x ' olume, which will be is- sued before the close of the present college year. A song-book is also in ]irocess of compilation. With a history of five centuries of honor and achievement, a constitu- tion conser ati ' c, and a policy national. Kappa Sigma ' s future is assured. 107 Alpha-Phi Chapter, Establislied lf 96. FRATRES IN URBE. A. W. JoHNSuN, FRATRES IN UNIVERSITATE. St-fiicrs : M. R. OiLUNS, Junior : S. W. Glll ' IN.

D., was formed by seven girls, the Misses Hanna, Jones. Loudon, Lovell, Stoner, and Custer. The society pros- pered, and in the following- September was changed into Beta Delta Pi. The meetings were at first held in the ])arlor of the Institute. Ere long this was denied them, so the members met in their rooms, but with in- creased devotion to Beta Delta Pi. Throughout its career the sorority has been e.xtremely successful, having an Alumnae of which it is justly ])roud. The sororities are now allowed to hold their meetings in town. . t present the sorority is especially strong, and has bright prospects for the future.

History of Pi Phi Sorority X September, 1888, six girls of Bucknell Seminary met in one of the girls ' rooms, with the intention of establishing a sorority. Alpha Chapter of Pi Phi was the result. During the re- mainder of 88 three members were added, and Pi Phi closed the first year of her existence with a membership of nine. Each succeeiling year the returning Pi Phis selected from the new girls of the Seminary those whom they considered would l e most congenial and loyal to the Crescent. Thus, in ' 97, Pi Phi boasts of a chaj ter of ten active members, four honorary meml)ers, and forty-two Alumni, having been called upon to mourn tlie loss of but one sister, and to rejoice in the marriage of se ' eral. Her honorary members are men, who, ])y their interest in Pi Phi, have proved themselves worthy to wear the Crescent. Her Alumni have always shown a deep interest in all the affairs of Pi Phi, and are always willing to do anything to forward her advancement. Many of them return to Buck- nell each year for symposium. Our past has been glorious. Our girls mve carried off man} ' prizes, and have gained the respect of their fellow-students. Pi Phi was never more flourishing, nor more successful, than to-day The future is hidden by a thick mist, but the prospect is bright. Long live Pi Phi! Alpha Chapter. Established October gtb, i88S.

Now after the gathering to- gether of the Biicknelhtes, Emmanuel of the Coherites asked the Fathers of Advice, saying, W ' lio sliall go u].i for us against our enemies first, to fight against tliem? 2. And tlie Fathers of Advice said unto him. Go. proclaim in the ears of the Bucknellites, saying, Vhosoe ' er is not fearful or afraid, let him come and tr ' in his strength for a i osition. And there came forth twenty and six. 3. Now it came to pass that the Bucknellites were sore ojjpressed hy the I ' ennsyites, and Enu uauucl did take his host against them. 4. But the Bucknellites had sinnetl. and the strength was not with them, insomuch that they were smitten as one man. 5. Xtnv the children of Bucknell did cry unto Johnathan. the W ' ilson- ite. on account of their defeat, and in their trouhle did the x ngels Smith and Megargee appear to Emmanuel, and said. The strength is with thee, thou mighty man of valor. 6. Then saith Ennnanuel, ()h. Angels, h - then is all this hefallen us? And where is all this glory which our brothers did tell us of? 7. And the Angels looked upon him, and said. Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Bucknell from the hands of the enemies; for have not we told it mito thee? 8. So it came to pass that the Bucknellites turned from their evil ways, and did wax mighty an d strong in battle, so that their enemies did fall before them as the chaff before the wind. ClIAI ' TKi;, Xlil. 1. Xow the Statites whom strength had pros])ered through manv years, did again become troublesome to the Bucknellites, and did w-ish to bear away the trophies of the sons of Buck- nell. ' 2. So the day grew nigh when the Statites and Bucknellites should con- tend in great battle. 119 3- And the Fathers of Advice said unto Emmanuel. The warriors are in- deed many; go to, and l)ring them thither that we may try tliem and choose of all the strongest. 4. Therefore he Ijrought them the warriors unto the field, and every one that held well, him set they by him- self; likewise exxry one that fell down upon the groimd more easily. 5. . nd tlie heathers of Advice said unto Emmanuel, By the eleven men that held well will we be saved, and shall the Statites be delivered into our hands: and let all the others go every man unto the bleachers. 6. Then did the children of Buck- nell grow in faith, and they became blessed in the siuht of the Fathers. ClIArTEK. XI . 1. Now on the day appointed the Statites encamped on the one side of the city, and the I ' ucknellites did en- camp on the other side. 2. And the Angels did appear again unto Emmanuel and said. Speak thou unto the chosen ones of Bucknell, as the Fathers of Adx ' ice hath com- manded thee. 3. So did Fnnnannel call together into one place his warriors, and said unto them, 4. T Ien. this day shalt thou honour thy Alma Mater, or bring disgrace upon her. 5. By all means I exhort you to be strong in the tactics and in the power of thy might; put on the whole ar- mour of strength, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the Statites. 6. P ' or we wrestle not against fiesh and blood alone, but against State, against favor, against the workers of tricks in close places. 7. ' herefore take unto you e -ery man great courage and determination that ye may be able to withstand in the e il da} ' , and, ha ' ing done all, to win. 8. Now, after this the Bucknellites went out to battle against the Statites; and the men of Bucknell put themselves in array to fight against them at Athletic Park. 9. And now the battle waged mighty, so that the Statites were taken with fear and treniljling, not knowing whither to turn. 10. So the liucknellites did smite the Statites to the ground, insomuch that they were dri ven back nine and one times; and the mighty men of Bucknell fell not once. 11. And it came to pass that Em- manuel and all the people did assem- ble themselves together; and thev re- joiced, eating, drinking, and making- merry. 12. Moreover, the Citites who were with the Statites before that time, e -en they also turned to be with the Bucknellites, and did make merry with them. 13. Now after this great day when strength did deliver the Statites into 120 iTi«iiiiiiiiiiiigM iiiii iiiiiiiiii I IriTtmTirnTin i-. ui:; ii]ia ffinMTMi r '  ' i ' i;;in nim.iimi:mi gTin!T ' T T?

J _J 134 Department of Christian Work RGANIZED Cliristian work in college, while still in its infancy, yet has become a most powerful factor in student life. No other power is so direct and vital in its bearing upon the moral and spiritual life of the college. The most important things of life are not always the most evident, and yet each _ ear the Chris- tian Association is being recogmized more and more by Faculty and students alike as of pre-eminent importance. In fact, it is now the greatest student movement of the world — greatest in numbers, ami greatest in purpose, whicli is three-fold: h ' irst, to help unite the Christian men of the college world; secontl, to establish and promote the religion of Christ in the lives of college men: third, to equip and send forth leaders to extend the king- dom of God throughout the earth. It is the one distinctly religious organi- zation of the college, and as such has strong claims upon every man de- sirous of advancing the kingdom of Christ among college men. Christian work at Bucknell has always held a prominent place, and lieen recognized as a part of all true eilucation. This work is carried on bv fi e distinct organizations, three Christian Associations, one in each de- ])artiuent of the school, and two Student Volunteer Bands, which are a part of the Association. The Associations hold weekly devotional meetings, carrv on six Bible classes for devotional stud_ ' , all conducted by student leaders, and in every wa} ' seek to awaken and maintain an interest in re- ligious matters throughout the college life of the student. The Volunteer Bands hold bi-weekh- meetings, and make a systematic study of missions so that every student may have an intelligent idea of the world-field. That these eft ' orts are not in ain is attested by the acb-ance in the moral tone of the student bod_ , and by the individuals whose lives have been perma- nentU ' Ijenefited. Much of the present efficacy of the Association work is due to the self-denying efforts and careful j lanning of those who have passed 1)eyond our college walls, and to the sympathetic attitude of the Faculty and officers of the school. There is still room for improvement, and it remains with the students to say what its future sliall be. 13.6 iiMauttaiBaiiBDSMl iiiiru ST: i ' f ' i !)( ' J= J ' ii iTTmnwtT .

' Uf ' t-iiijin;;;;iis:iTi:::-m:::T ' ::: ' TT ' .ri:r:r[n ' !ii ' i:i -iniiixitTfuw College Literary Societies HE aim of a college is to develop in man the power expressed b} ' the root of the word man — . c. to think. That the thinking may be straig ' ht, it seeks by Christian inflnences to ground the life in righteousness. Because fog around the brain fre- quently rises from a stagnant body, it encourages athletics. That the thinking in relation to the world may be clear; in relation to man, broad and accurate: within self, adequate — the curricula are leased on Science, Literature, and Mathematics. In debating, the chief work of our Literary Societies, the mind is ex- ercised in the three ways mentioned. The debater must penetrate to and consider the principles at the bottom. Paul, a matchless debater, built his arguments on the eternal degrees of God. Burke, in his Coiiciliafion of the American Colonics, based his propositions upon the maxims of gov- ernment. What interest, asked Hayne, has South Carolina in a canal in Ohio? ' ebster perceived beneath this question, unimportant in itself, the pernicious doctrine of State sovereignty. Like Homer ' s soothsayer, Calchas, the del)ater nnist know the present, the future, and the past, if he would guide aright to and through the Ijattle. He must learn tlie teachings, not of mere history, but of that embodiment known as the literature of himianity. He must see where and how the question touches the life of to-da}-. Lincoln, an adept debater, compelled in earlv life to attend to present needs, accjuired the ability by his unique stories to connect his propositions with the daily life of man. He must foresee the effects of his plans and of those he combats. The probable out- come of the innate and luxurious condition of the Athenians and of the invasion of Philip created the projjhetic appeals of Demosthenes. The debater must observe the material surroundings in which his measures are to be ap]:)lied. Though England might ha -e removed every cause of discontent in the Colonies, yet Burke saw that she could not get 142 iiSiiSifflnnnffiiiiiiH ' j ' i ' jii ' i !. ' J:Tr ;tnn:tii::! trt ' : ■ over tlie cause laid deep in the natural constitution of things, the re- moteness of the Colonies. So to-day the work of Science must not be overlooked. Rome, fallen because of extent of territory, is no warning for America. All the work of the Literary Societies fastens what is learned from text-hooks and in the class-rooms. It affords practice in the use of knowl- edge. Mere accpiisiton of knowledge is in ])rincii)!e no higher than mere mone)-making. There is too much idle siher in the banks of this country, and too much useless gray matter in the brains of the country. There is a benevolence of knowledge as well as of wealth, and this should be culti- vated while the acquisition is small and is growing. Many testimonies as to the value of college literary societies and kindred work have been given by men (|ualified to judge. Here are a few. Lord Brougham advised Macaulay on entering college to practice de- bating in speaking societies, with little attention to rule, with more love of saying something than of saying anything well. Lincoln said in a lecture to lawyers: Extemporaneous speaking should be practiced and cultivated. It is the lawyer ' s avenue to the public. Cardinal Gibbons proposes to overcome some of the disadvantages of the clerical student by the more general establishment and cultivation of debating societies for the Senior Classes in our colleges and seminaries. Dr. E. G. Robin- son, a prince of college presidents and educators, said: In direct educa- tion for the real work of life no influences of ni)- college were equal to those of the debating society; it stimulated to the exercise of all nn- intellectual faculties.

The puljli- cation of the first edition of the University Song-Book is one evidence of this fact. The need of distinctly Bucknell songs has been felt for some years past. The first active step to meet this long-felt want was taken in June of 1896. The announcement that an organization had been effected for the issuing of a song-book was greeted with general satisfaction, the student liody and Alumni ahke giving assurance of aid. The enterprise of publishing the Song-Book was under- taken by the Class of ' 97, when a board was elected, which immediately began to enlist contributors to the proposed production. It will reciuire many years before a sufficient number of songs are se- cured which will become popular. P.ut in due time, if the work of adding new songs is continued. Bucknell can boast of as many college songs as some of the largest Universities possess. 153 %-- The Orange and Blue Ebtablished March 9th, 1897. Published Weekly. Directors. J. V. Leshf.r, ' 97, O.

Everybody except Miss Slifer seconded the motion was interrupted by Flint ' s sudden entrance — curling his pockets fat with suspicious-looking documents. Only corresi)ondence of the Bachelors ' Club, was his satisfactory (?) reply to the inquiring looks. Chairman took advantage of the momentary silence the reading c: f minutes. Miss Chambers hail forgotten them, so the Board proceeded to business. Any reports? was the usual query. Ritter had prepared an article on Religious Enthusiasm, but this was rejected as too sectarian for our publication. Flint, looking out of the window, now sees Davis strutting up the path, and remarks that Davy has a treatise on ' How to Raise Dogs. ' Action postponed. Miss Slifer ' s poem on The Year of Love was unanimously accepted. At this point Davis appeared at the door, and remarks, late dinner, as his excuse. Dinner kept you four hours? was the Chairman ' s puzzled comment. That ' s nothing for Davy, explained Flint; he didn ' t get through dinner on last Thanksgiving until after midnight. The members all looked horrified excej)t Fetzer, who remarked that twelve was an earlv hour according to custom at Montandon. i i The laugh tliat now went round was cut short by ElHot tumljHns:: in witli, .Mr. Chairman, I liave a date at tlie Sem., and have to l)e at supper at 5 o ' clock sharp. The Editor-in-chief tried to smile, hut swore (?) inwardly as he looked at his watch. 4.55, he remarked, sadly, and we wanted to take up Miss Chambers motion to roast the Faculty. But it ' s too late now, and the Board ad- journed without further ceremony. Pkok. (in Economics) — Mr. Collins, why do bank cashiers commit suicide when their defalcations are discovered ? Mr. Collins — ' From force of habit, I suppose. And then Prof, (in Mechanics) — Mr. Leiser, what is work ? Mr. Leiser (struggling to his feet) — Work is-is-er — . And then T H E C L A Prof, (in English Bible) — Like Isaiah, you preachers may not publish your ser- mons in their chronological order. Very likely you will put that ' pet ' sermon first. Andersun— Yes, Doctor, I have a c sermon, and a good many tame ones And Hright, ' gSer (translating French) — I cannot tell you how much I love vou. Instructor R- That is a veiv good sentence. And THE CLASS LAUGHS Mr. Gk, ry (in Mechanics) — There is also a force of repulsion. Heretofore, we have studied simply the attraction of bodies. Then Miss B. blushes and Leiser (in French — suddenly sneezed and sighed audibly. Hill translated) — ' My son, what is this strange sound ? Is it thy lyre, or rather an angel which I ju t heard groan ? And L A U G H S Pkof. of English— (Lectures Mr, D. for about forty minutes on perfection, then says to the class as he takes out his watch) — W-e-l-l, turn to page eleven.

With their hands as white as lilies, while with smiles their faces beam. In Mechanics one such met us. and in sound, and heat. and light, Field of vision was defective, so we bluffed him out of sight. And whenever we our lesson did not have quite clear in mind. Why, with questions long and learned (?) him completely did we blind. It was also our misfortune, when by sorrows we were tossed. One whole hour to spend in Logic, whatsoe ' er might be the cost. Never once at that dry subject did we ever take a look But we won the Prof ' s affection, for we took to class the book. Then again in Paragraphing we have also had our turn. Argument and exposition never did we care to learn. And when came e.xaminations and the judgment day drew nigh. On our fiery steeds we mounted and we quickly passed them by. Then to class in History Modern, with the War of Thirty Years, How religious Revolution Ijrought the country all to tears: Papal bull, priest, pope, and clergy, and the famous Diet of Worms Could not cause the noble Luther to recant or heed their terms. For relief then vainly seeking from the hours of painful work We had Roman law elected — ' twas an easy branch to shirk; But the roasts of the Professor made it painful just the same And we liope that in the future full reform will be his aim. Of Orion. Mars, and Venus, also we a study make. Though the Prof, performs his duty, yet the subject is opa iue: But when comes the final reckoning, and we ' re quivering with fear. On our cuffs we ' ll make a pony — write the solstice of the year. Underclassmen, should you chance your lots to cast within the urn. Keep your eye on that instructor who knows not a righteous turn. Who is biased by his grudges, and your merits ca.sts aside. Your reports he will disfigure and your diligence deride. 183 What They Think of UAgenda. ()L ' are licrewitli ordered by L ' Agenda Board of 1898 to sub- mit a copy of their first edition to every great person and dig- nitary of the world. Expenses and salary will be paid. The jjurpose of this appointment is to secure opinions as to the merits of the book, from persons who are competent to judge. You will b egin the journey at once. E. H. DuTTON, President of the Board. On the receipt of this order I immediately took passage for England. The crew on board swore terrilily over m_ - great boxes of books. This indicated an unfavorable opinion to begin with, and my spirits sank. How- ever, thev soon ' rose light as ocean ' s foam. 1 took a L ' .Kgexd. ' i. and. going on deck, watched the water churned into froth by the great ship. I don ' t know how long I stood there: an hour, perhaps. Suddenly the form of a huge monster dashed past me. I sprang back just in time to escape being thrown to the deck. A great cry went up: A whale! A whale! The sailors rushed for guns, pistols, swords, harpoons. The cook came with his butcher knife: the passengers with steamer chairs: one old man pulled out a visiting card, and threw it wildly at the monster. The ladies shrieked. Quiet was finally restored after our visitor had succiunbed to the attack which was made upon him. Now, I had noticed that his leap was made straight at me, and wondered why. I reasoned that it could not have been mv personal appearance or dress — there was nothing unusual about either. What could have influenced the unheard-of action of the whale? Ha! what had I in my hand at the time? A L ' Agenda! Oh, book of wonderful magnetic power, that thou shouldst attract even the denizens of the deep! Arrived in England, I went straight to ' indsor Castle, and asked for and obtained an audience with the Queen. Your iNIajestv, said I, the L ' Agenda Board of ' 98 sends you a copy of their book. Call the Prince, she said to an attendant. The Prince of Wales came swaggering in. Seeing him, I was reminded of my recen t experi- ence, and I told him of that other prince of w(h)ales, following English style. He and the Queen were greatly interested in the account, and eagerly perused the copy which I had presented to Her Majesty. The only 184 ■.Tl iidtcs T took were: 1 ,itcrar ' , from tlic (Juccn. and (Jnitc sport v, ah, (lawn ' t tm l now, frcini the I ' riiice.

When 1 asked my guide o -er tiie Arabian desert what he thought of L ' Agenda, lie made a few steps in the saiuk and sadly said: Footprints on the sands of time. 1 bowed my head and wept, but cheered up when I reached China. The Chinese Government ordered a copy of L ' Agenda to be placed with their sacred books. I wanted to go to Japan, but on hearing that a great earthquake was in progress over there, I boarded a steamer for San Francisco. On my way East I isited the Bryans. Mrs. Bryan was ery amiable, and ordered a L Agi£ND. , because, she said, there are so many gems of thought in it which my husband can use in his campaign speeches. When I arrived home I found a large number of letters and telegrams awaiting me. Most of them contained acknowledgments of the receipt of copies of L ' Agenda. Here are a few of their messages: Berlin, April, 1S97. L ' Ageniia Board: I received a copy of your pul)licalion, and though I am troubled with anarchists and students in my domain, yet I have found time to enjoy the contents of the book. It might have been improved by devot- ing more space to what I may term the tactics of class scraps. However, I will say it is an excellent book. WlI.HELM, Emperor of Gi ' nfiany. Chicago, April, 1897. L ' Agenda Board: I. ' Ar.F.NDA at band. Am pleased with its contents, especially the article of Dr. Harris. Its make- up is admirable. W. R. Hari ' ER. Havana, April, 1897.

Nearly all of our class were there, six of us seated at the centre table. Conversation ran lively. How like the old times it does seem, one said. Yes, and how different, too, observed Flint. Why I can scarcely be- lie ' e it ' s the same place. One can ' t follow the changes off in China. That ' s right, Flint, said Wilti ank. How I wished 1 was a col- lege boy again, as this morning I stood upon the College Hill and looked around upon handsome buildings, winding paths, and shaded drives, all strange to me. I was accustomed to seeing c orn-fields, cinder-paths, and country roads instead. Oh, vou should have been at our College Girls ' Reunion yesterday! We had the most glorious time, didn ' t we, Anna, e ' en if we did feel like patriarchs, telling our stories of ' 98. And wasn ' t the Oratorio fine last night? Only too short. So we chatted on till conversation was broken ofY by the toast-master, Andrew Leiser, Esq., who arose and gave us a short, but witty address of welcome. Just like him, thought F ' etzer. You remember how comical ' Drusy ' always was. I used to almost split my sides laughing at him in Mechanics. I was looking through the progranmie, and the toasts I still recall: The Bright Lights of ' gS, Dk. A. W. Geary. Absent, yet Present, Hon. Hiram L. Purdy. The Present of Alma Ma er, Gov. Geo. Tn.DEN Ritter, Esq. Our Class Sisters, Rev. G. iVI. Da ' is. Our Class Brothers, Mrs. Maky .

In our collet ' c days she showed marked sit ' us of hril- liancv. Her fame — ( Another of his puns on my hair, and Miss B looked daggers, . . . P.ut foremost among them all, the one most truly deserving the honor he has won, is our brotiier. Dr. Burge. For is it not his invention that illuminates not only the great cities, but as well every little nook and corner of this old world of ours? For to him belongs the disco -ery of production of light without heat, a ])roblem which has puzzled the scientist for centuries — a secret known to the glow-worm alone in the days of ' 98. [Cheers.] . . . Vou make a fellow feel sort of comflusticated, chirped Burge, in his oUl style. Watch out for Purdv ' s toast, said Elliott: there ' s a surprise in store. He wouldn ' t tell me what it was. I ' urdy. after reading letters from absent members of ' 98, concluded: ' S ' ou will all be interested in this cablegram, which I received last e -ening: ' Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Class of ' 98: We have crossed the Xorth Pole, and are safe on our way home. Sorry to miss the reunion. More later. — Katherman and Gundy. ' [Veil follows yell.] Well, that cablegram just jjuts me in the humor for my toast, said Ritter, arising, although I couldn ' t do it justice were I to speak upon it the rest of the evening. T might tell you of the position our Alma Hater holds among the uni ' ersities of the land. I might s]ie ak to ) ' ou of the strong, though silent power which she sways from East to West, from Xorth to South — where ' er her sons and daughters dwell, or I might mention her contributions to the world of science, through researching e.xpeditions, along the Nile, inCentral America, yes, now e -en at the t)rth Pole. But that would onl ' gi e a meagre jjicture of her glorw I might s])eak to you of her wealth of buildings, of her manv dej artnients: her course in Law, School of Medicine, Music, Art, etc., and in it all, tell me, class sister, class brother, are not our fondest dreams, our highest aims, realized in our Alma Mater. ' Is she not worthy our deepest loyalty, our highest praise? . . . Cheer upon cheer resounded until the room was filled with its deafen- niii ' sound 1 aw oke with a start.

But whether the Cubans snatch time from the turmoil of war to read of it, or whether copies of the last issue of Coiuiiiciicciiicnt Nnvs are on sale in the Cretan camps, we know not. If all the world does not read of it, still all the world ; «_v. All the world of Bucknell read of it, and was glad. The Commencement exercises were worthy of the fiftieth anniversary of our Alma Mater. The fifty years gone are but blossoms she ' s shed, She never grows old, like the stars overhead. The years coming on later birthdays will bring, Enriching with flowers, where clusters now cling. But it is Class-day Exercises that demand our attention. Mio of those who heard and saw can ever forget the magnificence of the display on that occasion? The world of literature then saw the dawn of another golden age. History, poetry, oratory, and theology — each had its in- spired representative. Science also claimed a place on the programme, and Ninety-six dis- played a great deal of enterprise in inducing Mr. Xopher Ray, F. R. S., a former student of Roentgen, to open a studio at Bucknell during the Class Day Exercises. This thev did to enable the world to understand the capa- bilities of Bucknell ' s professors. The Faculty knew a good thing when they saw it, and made a mad rush for the studio. The scholastic Frank was the first to arri -e on the scene, and immediately looked for the bird. Imagine Mr. Ray ' s disappointment when he produced only a muddle out of all Rome. Willie G., the Physicist, a more interesting subject, readily succvmibed to the piercing electricity. Our artist ' s hopes rose still higher when the result of tlie next exposure proved to be the exact image of an o.x-eye daisy. The precise, though modest ' illiam, prox ' ed to have a tri- angular heatl, in the midst of which were scattered numerous bones in the shape of radicals, cotangents, and parabolas. Other infinitesimal dots appeared in the negative, and Mr. Ray took it for granted that they were derivatives. Enoch took the easiest and clearest picture of all; there was only one line of demarcation through the centre of the brain. Lincoln 190 wore a l)roa(l smile, wlieii he saw tlie camera: tlie pliototjraplier frowned when ]ie saw the negative. The lines and lis nres were too nuich for us. Rile ' and llurns were -er - clearh- marked: Init we couldn ' t understand the Psalms. Here the rush stop])ed. and the ])hiiti),i;rai)her was in a (|uandary. A11)ert, Lew. Freeman, Thomas. William 111. and Christian modestly de- clined to face the deaill) ' machine. Ir. Ray then called up the class for a composite. This ])rove(l too much for the camera, and there was a lremen(K)Us explosion. I ' .ut how could the class ex])ect Roentgen or any of liis sttidents or in ' entions to brin ' order out of chaos?

Oh, to him how great a dehtor Daily I ' m constrained to he! Growing dull instead of brighter After he has questioned me. il H.jS and nitric acid Filled my nose, but not my head; Then he asked me how to make it. And I wished that he were dead. Oh, to him how great a debtor Daily I ' m constrained to be! Trying hard to make a pony For exam. in Chemistry. When the term was fully over. And my work was quite complete, D. E. F. he said my mark was, I lay prostrate at his feet. Oh, to him how great a debtor Daily I ' m constrained to be! For that Princeton Pledge was awful, And we signed it, don ' t you see? Next in turn came Analytic, Tliis, lie said, was very plain; Fifty compounds in solution, I must take them out by name. Oh, to him how great a debtor Daily I ' m constrained to be! If his heart were in solution. There, no doubt it still would be. Last I was with him in Physics, Trying hard to do my best; When he called, with fear and trembling I stood up — he did the rest. Now to him I ' m truly debtor. For his blessings fall so free. Yes, I think his heart has softened Since I ' ve finished Chemistry. 194 Oil ' ■ ' ' ■ ' ' ' ' ' ' A Fond Hallucination 111 ' had often asked me to ehaperon her to the to]) of the college Iniildino ' . and o -er the roof.

Not a single fellow noticed us; not one chrollctc emharrassed me during our parade of the four flights of stairs. 1 hastily adjusted the ladder, and mounted nerxxnisly, turning to assist her. She alwax ' S did im])ress me as heing very hra -e, almost couragecjus enough for a man. hut now her daring spirit startled me. Nevertheless, I determined to take care of her. Oh. isn ' t it lovely! Isn ' t this perfectly divine. (She is one of nature ' s lovers.) What a lieautiful painting — the sky, the mountains, the river! She was constantl}- moving, and for a moment had passed hevond the reach of my guardian arm. Out to the very hrink she stepped, when, oh hea -ens, she was falling! Could I sa -e her! I made one desperate struggle, and caught her in my arms just as her slender form was ahout to pass over the cornice. When I awoke in the morning I found myself on my dormitory floor, my arms fondly encircling the mattress, which had fallen with me. My countenance wore a serene, satisfied smde. I was still saving her. ii til To the Susquehanna. oil, river, tlicy .say you arc cold and dull; That you do not know a thing. But, Jove!

N ' e judge that there are other names to be added to the list. One morning, after the chapel choir had sung a piece, entitled, Come Unto Me and Rest, a young lady, who is a member of the So])homore Class, who wears glasses, whose name appears near the end of the class-roll in the cata- logue, and who is small of stature, yet I)ears these burdens ; )(n;full_ -. this young lady asked several of the other lady students if they had ever heard Come Unto Me and Rest before. The tone in wliicli the (piestion was asked, and the answering smile told the story. The knowing smile of assent contirms our judgment.

VVn t, Miss Ziekhkn, Miss Whitk, Miss Anderson, Miss Siiiki-.s. The Ride of the Maids. A party of jolly, old bachelors, gay Thought of sonic ' thing decidedly new, For the ground was white that eventful night. The moon in her glory made all things bright. And they thought to themselves, ' twas no more than right That their youth they should renew. So they started forth to hire a sleigh, When they stopped and thought again. They tho ' t of the Prison, — just over the way. Of the many old maids who there must stay, Of their tireless patience from day to day, And they formed a noble plan: They would sacrifice themselves for once To give these Maids a ride. And the dear old things did enjoy it so! — The laugh and the song as they sped o ' er the snow; The yells always given wherever they ' d go. And the jokes on every side. At the home where they stopped all was cordial and free And of mirth they never had more. They sang and recited, and one — old and gray — Gave a serenade and I really must say He did it in quite a familiar way As though he had tried it before. The girls, inspired, organized on the spot A club of Bachelor Maids. For the Bachelors urged it and promised them true They should not go hungry if this they would do. The motto is, Freedom forever: think you That they longer fear Hoi Poloi raids? Long live the Bachelors — Long live the Maids. May they carry their banners high. For if the sad time should finally come. When the Maids ' and Bachelors ' Clubs should be one There would be an end to our glorious fun. Ere that time may years roll by!! 199 A Talk with a Waste-basket. Il|:i jl XLY a waste-liasket. did you say? Yes. yon are right. I am onl) an old, worn, and dirty waste-basket. And vet I am not altogether ignorant of the world, its history, and its litera- ture. M owner, a little, sharp-faced, bright-eyed student, who usually sits in that ricket - old chair yonder, keeps me well occupied looking over his thousand and one old .papers, letters, essays, etc. Some- times his laz ■ old chum contributes something, but iov the most part his waste-pa]ier goes on the rtoor. Some things o ' er which I am compelled to look would make you laugh, I ' m sure: while there are others which might add a little to your present store of wisdom: Speeches, with which he has become disgusted; a love letter, which a drop of ink, fallen from his nervous pen, has marred: a mother ' s love and counsel to her boy, bedewed with tears of joy, or even sorrow at times. Some are really heart-rending. The poet was not first or last to disco ' er that Life is real, life is earnest. ' just sit down, and we will see what has been thrown in here since vesterdav. It will be quite necessary to hasten, because as soon as that peevish little student returns, we must keep perfectly quiet, for he is some- what nervous, and the least noise disturbs him. You see, I have a good supplv of — trash, the maid who empties me each morning calls it — but to me it is treasure, the doings of men and nations the world over: the hopes, the jovs, the aspirations, the cares, and disappointments of life: odds and ends: scraps from what Mr. Shakespeare calls The Great Stage. Here on top is yesterday ' s paper. That we will pass for the present. This next is a bill from . rthur Hinds Co. for some books. My! how that lazy student swore when he saw that bill. His chum is real religious, too. I felt sorrv for both of them, luit thought it was not my say, and so just kept quiet till the storm passed ox ' er. Yes, as I remember, those books were translations of the classics, but not at all literal, as I recall the original. That is the reason he swore so at the bill. Here, }ou see, is the report of 200 UUh:tUH) Ul AU liis last term ' s wcirk. (jreek is marked Alod.. wliile Latin is still worse. No wonder lie declares that he will not pay for those translations. His chimi ne er used one, and he always gets E.x. in all his languages. Wait a moment till I get rid of these apple-cores and cigar-stumps. Say. hut some folks are dirty, tobacco-juice running out of their mouth tit to make one sick. How a fellow can expect to kiss his best girl after eating that stuff is more than 1 understand. I imagine her self-respect might be improved. Now look at this — a man from Te.xas, who seems to have more mone_ ' than brains, writes to know if he can bu}- a knowledge of Latin and Hebrew. He wants it immediately; says he has been elected Mayor of some little town, and is expected to deliver an address in ten days. He wants the knowledge of the ancient languages to give polish and finish to his speech. Old Lazy, who flunked so last term, sent Arthur Hind ' s address to the old fool, and we have heard nothing since. . . . This is one of those essays of which 1 told you. It has been corrected bv the Prof, and sent back. These blue marks point to places where it might be improved. Here on the margin, you see, is written, IVind. That means all words and figures of speech with no meaning. At the close is more blue pencil. Here it is: Introduction too long. Conclusion too abrupt. Thought not clear. Rewrite. Every now and then I get an essav on that plan. Old Lazy is not at all particular how he writes, so long as it will pass. Here is one of those love letters. You see that blot — yes, that sjjoiled it. and here it is. We will not waste time in reading its contents. There is very little m it, and even that we could not understand. Here is another bill, and here a letter from his dear old mother. She must be a good woman, for I get a letter from her several times a week. Some would bring tears to your eyes to read them, but they seem to have very little influence on Old Lazy. He stays out to all times of the night, and never knows when to get up in the morning. He eats tobacco and swears, and some times get as full as an owl. Neither the prayers of his mother, nor the sermons of his pious chum move him. I think he must be doomed for the pit, poor fellow. May Satan be as easy as possible with him. There he comes now. Good-bye, call around again, and I will show vou more. 20 1 Terms Used by Athletes.

XXUl Vv . 1 UCKNELL Students are quick to ( recognize merit. A patron of the J College recently rode a ZENITH - BICYCLE over hills, down dales, through meadows,over thank-you-mums for over 4,000 miles, without a scratch to the wheel, without oiling, repairing, or paying more than the ordinary atten- tion to the wheel. That is what you want in a bicycle — one that can stand the wear and tear of hard usage. Our riders believe The Zenith to be one of the most rigid, durable, and easy riding wheels made. So do we. So will you after a trial. Rigidity in frame means easy run- ning, while too much attention cannot be given to the hardening and truing of the bearings. In these features The Zenith excels. We invite investigation by ex- perts. Try The Zenith. Such a beauty, too. Send for Catalogue. enith Cycle Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
