In many respects the editors have followed established precedent, yet a few innovations have been attempted. The Alumni Department has been added with the hope of arousing greater interest among old graduates in the affairs of the University. The Literary Department has been enlarged and, we think, improved. Special attention has been paid to the Art Department and to the general artistic appearance of the book. Boarding clubs and fictitious societies have been omitted to make space for more purely literarj ' matter. We have endeavored to make the book a true reflection of the life of the college during the past year. This has been the constant aim in every depart- ment. With this in view we have inserted athletic records, social events, and the military record of the alumni. W e have likewise tried to roast everyone without partiality. If we have overlooked you, forgive us ; it was entireh unintentional. Every effort has been made to publish an annual equal to any published in previous years. As to our success, the book must speak for itself. The Editors. Ode to the Century Plant. « « GOLDEN flower, sweetlj ' sleeping As the years roll fast along, Now ' tis time for thy awak ' ning : Ope thy petals ; sing thy song. Other flowers bud and blossom. Hardly lasting for a day ; Waste their fragrance and their beauty, Fading, wither soon away. But for thee fate has decided, Through thy long and quiet sleep, While wars rise and nations vanish, Waves of progress onward sweep, That at last to mark an epoch Thou shalt bloom. And may it be Since thou art a fitting emblem Of the Nineteenth Century. Thou shalt usher in another Hundred years in which to mould Many thoughts and deeds and virtues Left by former seers untold. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF Hon. Simon P. Wolverton. fS ts SIMON P. VOL ' ERTON, of Suiibury, Pennsylvania, was born January 28, 1837, in Rush Township, Northumberland Count} ' , Pennsylvania. He was the son of Joseph and Charity Wolverton, people well known in that section. ITntil he was seventeen years of age he worked upon his father ' s farm, availing himself of such advantages as the common schools of his district then afforded during the winter months. At seventeen he became a teacher in public schools, and commenced preparation for college at Danville Academy, about five miles from his father ' s farm. He continued there through many difficulties and, in the Spring of 1857, entered the Freshman Class at Lewisburg, now Bucknell University. At the end of his Sophomore year he left college to commence the study of law, for he felt that he was unable to supply the means for two more years in college. Dr. George N. Bliss was at that time Acting President of the University, and he insisted that Mr. Wolverton should complete his college course. At the commencement of the Senior year of his class, Mr. Wolverton determined to return to college, and Dr. Loomis, President of the Univers ity, who had returned from Europe, granted him the privilege of taking the Junior and Senior years in one ; and in the fall of 1859 he undertook the difficult task. During the Senior year he went through with the regular studies of both the Junior and Senior terms, reciting almost continuously during the day and studying during the night. He graduated in July, 1S60, taking second honors over others who had continuoush ' attended college during the whole course. After graduating, he went to Sunbury, Pennsylvania, and took charge of the Sunbury Academy, where he commenced the study of law under Alexander Jordan, then the Presiding Judge of the di,strict composed of Northumberland and adjoining counties. In April, 1862, he was admitted to the Bar at Sunbiu ' y, and has practiced there ever since. Since his admis.sion Mr. Wolverton has been engaged in some of the most important trials of his district and surrounding counties, and he has been counsel for the Philadelphia Reading Railway Company, and the Philadelphia Reading Coal Iron Company, since 1868. He has for many years been counsel for the L,ehigh Valley Railroad Company, the lychigh Valley Coal Company, and the large interests of Coxe Brothers. In vSeptcmber, 1862, when the War of the Rebellion had assumed proportions demanding most active measures on the part of the Government, Mr. ' olverton raised a Company of Eniergenc) ' , under the call of the Governor. Of this body he was captain, and served in the Eighteenth Pennsylvania Regiment, under Colonel Ralph McClay In June, 1863, he was elected captain of Company F of the Thirty-sixth Pennsylvania Regiment, called for by the Governor, and served until mustered out in August. Mr. Wolverton, in November, 1S78, was nominated by the Democratic party and elected to the State Senate, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of A. H. Dill. He was reelected for four years in November, 1880, and so admirably had he represented the interests of his constituents that, in 1884, he was sent to the State Senate for another term. Although his district was strongly Republican, he was elected by large majorities at three successive elections, two of them in Presidential years. After ten years ' service he declined to again be a candidate. During his terms in the Senate he was a member of the Judiciary Committee, and ranked as a leading lawyer of that body, and was the author of many important measures now on the statute books of the State. During the .session of 1887 Mr. Wolverton was nominated by the Democrats of both Hou.ses as their choice for United States Senator, and he was also a candidate of his party for the Presidency of the Senate. He was again chosen, in 1890, as the Democratic standard bearer, being nominated in the Seventeenth Di-strict for the Fifty-second Congress, and elected by a large majority. In 1892 he was elected for another term, serving through the Fifty- third Congress. Although each time his majorit} ' was over 5,000, he declined to again be a candidate. While in Congress Mr. Wolverton was a member of the Judiciary Committee, and he was considered one of the most eminent lawj ' ers of the House. He was one of the principal movers in the construction of the Danville, Hazleton Wilke.sbarre Railroad, from Sunbury to Hazleton. He organized the Shamokin, Sunbury ; Lewi.sburg Railroad Company, for the construction of a railroad from vShamokin to West Milton, and acted in a managerial capacity. He was President of the company from its organization until after the road was leased to the Philadelphia Reading Railway Company, forming part of its main line between Philadelphia and Williamsport. Mr. Wolverton also organized an electric railway, and constructed its road, connecting vSunbury and Northumberland. Mr. Wolverton has been a member of the Board of Trustees of Bucknell University since i8yi. He has shown an active interest in the affairs of the University, and has attended all the regular meetings of the Board both at Lewi.sburg and Philadelphia. The Board of Trustees. « ts Hakrv S.

BUCKMINSTER. 17 I k I f History. « fS THE concluding chapter of the history of our college career has been demanded, so we must write. As for the narrative itself, we realize that it can contain but very little outside of the daily events of the class-room, and these would convey but little meaning to those unconcerned. Uneventful as our past year has been, — in fact, as later years generally are, — we have the unalloyed pleasure of looking back over three successful years, unmarred by defeat from any quarter, significant of ability apart from excellence in the class-room, that feature which especially characterizes our Senior life. While our actions as Seniors have been free from that boisterous — underclass expression — class spirit which cannot fail to attract the attention of the public eye, we have not become fossilized nor by any means insusceptible to the pleasurable part of college life. Caps and gowns have been, indeed, a conspicuous feature of the many social events of the past few months. And in this connection we need only to mention the reception given us by our Senior girls to bring back to our minds one of the most enjoyable occasions in our whole college life. In point of numbers our class is rather unevenly divided, but skill and tact in the management of the entertainment rendered the event the success that it was. A detailed account of the reception would require a larger page than this ; suffice it to say that it has claimed for itself a permanent place among the most cherished memories of our course. But we must not confine ourselves merely to the mention of the pleasurable events of our later college days. We do not wish to give the impression that pleasure has been our chief concern, when it has really occupied so little of our attention. During these last few months we have begun to look upon the serious, the practical, side of life, trying to find means by which we can make application of the training which we have received. Indeed, some of our brighter stars have begun to shme already, and we as a class are flattered to hear and read that certain of our numbers are enlightening the public mind with eloquent discourses on the most popular topic of the day. That war was a good thing in more ways than one. It would probably add interest to our brief narration if, looking forward, we could speak of the good time that is coming : our class banquet, our class day, our graduation day and all that that means ; and that sad time of parting that is to follow. But we dare not intrude upon the province of the prophet, .so we will take this opportunity, at the close of our written history, to say a reluctant good-bye. Historian. iS Farewell. FAREWELL, ye classic halls. Once more a company of sturdy sons And daughters fair will leave thy loving doors, Just as the flood of yonder river runs, While other, following waves fill out its shores. Farewell, ye sombre walls. Beneath whose stern yet kind protecting shade The lamp of knowledge glows with rising fl;ime, Gains in brilliance from onward grade to grade. And glory gives to many a famous name. Farewell, } ' e ancient groves, Where, seeking ea,se from learning ' s ardent blaze. The student finds the damsel of his heart, While through the leaves the wanton moonlight plays And Cupid slyly flies his poisoned dart. Farewell, ye pleasant fields, Where many a contest ' s lost and gained. Where many a lasting record ' s made, Where many have praised and many complained. And man - a last hard game has been played. Farewell, ye earnest men. Whose life ' s fond purpose is to guide aright ; Nor do they spare themselves, nor miss their goal, — To keep the light of learning trimmed and bright And .send its keen refulgance to the soul. Farewell, ) ' e worthy fellows, Who with us oft have striven, — even won. And with us, too, have braved the day of wrath. Too soon our pleasant comradeship is done ; Each now must tread his own peculiar path. Poet. ' 9 The Senior Class. « « Floyd George Ballentine, ■! ' r A, .

As Juniors we are too modest to fill up our 23 own book with our own deeds of valor. Nevertheless, with L ' Agenda off our hands, and plenty of time to devote to dignity, sobriety, and thought, we shall hope next year to present a more detailed account of the four years of the class of Nineteen Hundred ( 1900) spent together under the motto, ' itamur ad siimmum. Historian. Poem. « ANOTHER year has passed— In deep oblivion gone. Naught seemingly remains But records drear and long. The Present is at hand, No-iv is the time to live ; The time to seek reward Which destiny will give. The Future — ' tis a dream. How little do we know Which way our course will turn ; Which wav the wind will blow. Live not the bitter past, Nor in the future trust. ' Tis strife the Present needs To keep her sword from rust.

AFTER reading the above ads, the following conversation was overheard between two members of 1901, in which they were reviewing their college life. What year of your college course did you enjoy best? Why, the Sophomore, to be sure. Well, I think you are right ; what did we do that year? Oh, yes ; that was the time we determined to abolish barbarous customs and consequently, at the beginning of the term, tendered the Freshmen a reception in Tustin Gym. Then, too, our boys who were loyal to Uncle Sam were mustered out that fall. Oh, now I remember that year well. Yes, replied the other, now you no doubt recall, also, how the Freshmen ascertained the date and place of our symposium and arranged to hold- their banquet (?) the night before. The Sophomores, however, were not asleep and 1 90 1 treated the Fre.shies ' President and Toastmaster that night to a fine ■sleigh-ride. As their return was late and the ride and company so agreeable, 1902 ' s representative decided to forego his class banquet. Oh, if I live to be as aged as Methusalah, those days will never fade from my memory. I recall how the Nurslings departed on their sleigh-ride ; how the dignified (?) Juniors followed them and urged on the Innocents to a scrap the next morning. The Naughty Naughts never seemed to forget the way their fishing-rods disappeared when we were Freshmen. My, interrupted the first, it all comes back quite vividly; how the Freshmen desecrated Chapel Exercises and washed our faces in the snow, as THREE of their brawny men dashed for ONE of ours. Really, they behaved like overgrown children deprived of reason. What more could you expect from these Freshmen? the other said. Their entire course of action was marked by lack of ability and forethought, as was clearly demonstrated when their giants and ministerials, equipped with 41 ropes, sought to detain us from onr symposium ; but wisdom and shrewdness — qualities that alvvaj ' s characterized the First Class of the New Century — were not to be thus thwarted. The disappointed Kreshies realized, as we drove away and were greeted at Milton by our President, that it is ' qualis non quantus ' that counts. That ' s so, his companions rejoined. Then again, it was due to ingenuity that we established the precedent of the Freshman hat, and the following year appeared with dress canes. Those were certainly remarkable times. Here a third party appeared and conversation drifted to other channels. With this pleasant review of so many happy events, we, as Bucknell ' s royal representatives, bid adieu to our Sophomore year. Historian. Poem. OLD Father Time in liis book of life. Another page has turned. But he looks on us with a kindh ' smile, And whispers softly, Work yet awhile. And then shall come rest well earned. We are told that the Future is never ours. That the Present is all we possess ; When once this lesson we thoroughly learn, From the F ' uture our gaze we will gladly turn. And our troubles will surely grow less. And he thoughtfully turns the glass in his hands, Dame Fortune seems to smile on us now And counts the hours as they pass ; And her promises all are fair. He watches the progress of 1901, But alas ! she ' s very fickle we ' re taught. And softly whispers again, Well done ; And her promises often amount to naught, I am satisfied this is the class. So of her we will have to beware. The Future seems to beckon us on. And promise us glory and fame. But it rests with us, dear friends, you know. Whether we bask in the sun ' s bright glow. And the glory and fame attain. The years roll on and we soon must part, But where ' er our steps may rove, I know we will all remember well. The happy years spent at dear Bucknell, And the friends we learned to love.

Of course, my reports have not been quite what Pa expected, but how could he help it? He hasn ' t been here to fix up things with the Profs, and I don ' t see why he should kick now. Somehow it takes about two years to get well onto the ropes. Now I know how to work things the next two years. I think I shall get a frock coat, silk hat, and cane and do the thing up proper.

ON a sunny September morn, in 1898, tlie massive portals of old Bucknell were swung inward by an energetic Freshman Class. It was the Class of 1902, numerically the strongest that has ever entered the college. The hurrying upper-classmen adjusted their eye-glasses for a critical look at the throng of newcomers, and then went to their study-rooms, .satisfied that for the next four years the honor of the college would be fitly upheld. Most of the members of the new class were total strangers to one another. They had come to college with dissimilar ambitions, but they soon became imbued with a common purpose — the advancement of the glory of their class. Before a fortnight of the school year had pa,s.sed they had elected their class officers. Such a display of class spirit promised well for their future. Shortly after their organization the Freshmen appeared at chapel one morning with tasteful class caps. Opposition was expected from the Sophomores, but for political reasons those valiants refrained from action. After this it was expected that the Sophomores would attempt to appear at chapel with canes, but nothing of the kind ever occurred ; and the .serenity of school-life was unbroken till after the holidays. Upon their return from the Christmas vacation, the Freshmen began to make preparations for the usual class banquet. On the evening of January 12, they cosily seated themselves in sleighs and drove through the very heart of LewLsburg, giving tlieir class yell in open defiance of the chagrined Sophs. Safely out of town, they leisurely drove to Milton, where a bounteous feast awaited them. Far into the night the banqueters danced, feasted, and listened to the toasters, and when they began their homeward journey they each avowed that they had passed the mo.st delightful evening in their experience. When the Sophomores found that they could not stop the Freshman Banquet, they vented their rage upon the Freshman President. For this the ' 02s determined to give them a needed lesson. Accordingly, on the morning after the banquet, they overtook the Sophs, who were hastening from chapel, and proceeded to roll them about in the snow. It was a shame to so misuse the pure, clean snow, but it left the defeated Sophs with cleaner faces and a clearer perception of right and wrong. 47 Although such interclass strifes reflect honor upon the victors, 3-et the Freshman Class is not obliged to point to its victory over the Sophomores as an example of its might. On the athletic teams and in the class-rooms are to be found students who are upholding the honor of the school, and those students are Freshmen ! For greater honor no man could ask. Poem. BANNER, which floating gaily o ' er our heads, With snowy clouds of fleecy softness fl ' ing ; Colors which borrowed from the sun their sheen. Which emblems are of all that ' s true on earth : Tribute to thee we bring. May nothing e ' er be founrl To disunite the band That walks ' neath thee. Blue showing forth the true heart-beats beneath, And red that speaks of love ' s sweet spell undying ; Together wave in triumph through the years That we must walk this pathway side by .side. To thee we now would sing, Waving through morn and noon ; Float ever o ' er this band Till day is done. Emljlenis of purity and love, may ' st thou E ' er o ' er our stony path th}- shadow flinging ; Shed also purity and truth and love, That we may walk in wisdom ' s truest ways. All hail ! to thee we sing, May ' st thou wave ever free ; And e ' er the hearts beat true. That beat ' neath thee. Poet. 48 The Freshman Class. ti « Edwin Cook Amkrman, Lee a. Amsler, Mark L.

We were brought together in the fall of ' 96 ; some have joined our ranks since then, and we regret it very much that others have fallen by the wayside. These last were few. Our class does not boast of great numbers, nor of great achievements in any one line ; still, we are composed of that sturdy material which makes the heroes of the future. We have impressed the faculty with our genius and mental powers; while the lower classes consider us as demigods, whom it is their privilege and duty to adore. In the Contest in Elocution last year, members of the present Fourth Form gave e.x.celleut evidence of their talent in oratory ; it was judged by some, who have spent years in Bucknell, to have been the best exhibition of its kind. Our class was also represented in the Interscholastic Debate at Bloomsburg State Normal School the winter term of ' 98. It is not for us to blow our own horn , but we may safely say that the excellence of the past and future Cadite orators will never attain the same degree of superiority as the Class of ' 99. We have not yet brought reproach upon our career by taking any undue privileges, by acting resentfully to the honored class which preceded us, or to our willful but good-natured successors, although in a prudent and judicious manner we have sustained the honor of our class in all its crises. Gentle reader, with your permission we will now bring this little narration to a close, hoping that you will not criticise it too severely, inasmuch as it is our first attempt, and that you will also take an active interest in our welfare. We bid you au revoir but not good-by, for you will hear from us again in our Freshman year. Historian. 52 The Four Forms. tS ti THE FOURTH PORM. CLASSICAL.

How imposing that title sounded to us before we aspired to call it ours — when we were third and fourth years, toiling on for future glories, working hard, and being patronized by our higher class-sisters, whom we regarded with due respect and reverence. And now it seems but natural that after all this work we should continue in much the same old way with the added dignity. Our class was organized last year, and lived a very peaceful fourth-year life, ruffled only by occasional energetic class meeting.s — and soiree, the latter launching us triumphantly into class recognition. In our debut we departed from the precedent established by former classes — a conventional public exhibition — to one more exclusive, entertaining only friends and those who were personally interested in the class, at our Seminary home. There we gave them a peep into Hades at a carnival of Shakespeare ' s women, almost convincing them that it were a pleasant place of sojourn if in company with such characters. After our temporary residence in the land of departed spirits, we returned to earth again, to study, recite (or not) with monotonous regularity. Time sped on, and by it and the teachers we were at last crowned seniors. Seniors with something more to do than smile and look dignified. 56 We trembled when first we assembled before Dr. Harris, and we wondered who would be called on to give a definition of Psychologj ' . But we conquered our fears, and were able to have extricated from us in varying degrees of certainty that we existed, which knowledge was very gratifying. To take its place in the Spring term we had History of Art, and were instructed by Miss Wood, who told us interesting stories of the cities that are or that used to be. Not long ago the Alumnie, being made aware of our importance, invited us to tiieir annual parlor picnic. We all took much interest in this meeting of the society of which we hope soon to be members, — and we all stayed to the after meeting. Our reception with its mixture of work and pleasure passed off in its appointed time and was a success. We half regret that it is a thing of the past. But we have had our Commencement to think of and prepare for, and now that has l)een surmounted. We descend from the rostrum to go our ways into far countries, having always a fond recollection of Buckuell and of the Class of ' 99. Historian. The Classes. ts s THE SENIOR CLASS. Ejiily Edn.

Sophomores, .... i6 20 18 Total, ..... 54 A faculty rule, which went into effect April i, iSgS, prevents a student from joining a fraternity until he has secured a certificate from the President attesting to the fact that he has completed one year ' s work in the College Department. The same rule abolished the pledge system and forbids class societies or fraternities. 87 o H ! golden chain that binds us fast. Oh ! tower Of strength, whereto for refuge we may flte Oil ! mystic union making weakness power : Fraternitv. Symbolical of what the earth will be, When discontent no longer is ihe dower Of humankind, but hope and harmony. And we, despite grim obstacles thai lower Though hope ' s fruition full we mav not see Cherish the promise of that day in our Fraternitv. In monkish hood and ghosth- gown, A single lamp turned dimly down. All breathless, the elect await The coming of the candidate. Small doubt but he ' ll be done up brown From tip to toe, from head to crown. Despite entreaty, fear, or frown, They prod the poor initiate Upon that night ! But wlien ' tis o er, and to drown Fatigue they hie away to town And speed the hours in wassail great. Until they fill the barkeep ' s slate. He calls a silent blessing down Upon that night ! 88 89 ' . ' . vv Athletic Association. « « Presidp;nt, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, OFFICERS. I. A. DewiTT, ' oo. W. E. Thompson, ' oi. J.

Comparisons. ts « IT may be that sometimes comparisons are odious, or, as Shakespeare puts it, odorous ; nevertheless they have their uses, both for the strengthening of argument and the illumination of history. The value of a social condition at a given time is demonstrated by comparing it with a social condition at some other time, and a conclusion is reached by observing whether the human output has advanced or retrograded along the line of its own evolution. It is quite within reason to apply this rule to our University. Those who were present when the little bantling sent forth its first cry will not be likely to forget the unpretentious equipment and unpromising environ- ment that attended its advent into the educational world. In 184S the entire teaching force consisted of Professor Stephen W. Taylor, and tutors Isaac N. Loomis and Alfred Taylor, supplemented by the services of J. Harvard Castle, then a student in one of the advanced classes. It was a day of small things, but it was also a day of strong men and sound instructors. In 1849 Professor George R. Bliss came to the chair of Greek, and Professor George W. Anderson 142 t(3 the chair of Latin. In 1851 Professor Taylor retired, and Doctor Howard Malcom was appointed ]iresident. In the same year the cliair of Mathematics was filled by the election of Professor Charles S. James. Professor Justin R. Loomis was elected to the chair of Natural vScience in 1S54. For several years changes occurred, professors dropping out and others taking their places, but the number of those at work varied but little. In the early seventies the members of the Faculty could almost he counted on the fingers of one ' s hand. In 1899 it requires four full pages of the catalogue to display all the names connected with the enlarged work of the University. In 1848 the accommodations were confined to the basement of the old Baptist Church. Some students did their studying in the largest room, others were per- force permitted to study elsewhere. When the Academy building was completed, it was like moving into a palace, while the erection of the West Wing was hailed as a glory and a joy. The completion of the main building, with Commencement Hall, surmounting it as a crown, left nothing to be desired. Now add to the main building and the Academy the various structures which have come with the passing years, the Gymnasium, the Observatory the Laboratory, the Chapel, the Boys ' Annex, — to say nothing of the Institute and the Girls ' Annex, which are supposed to be beyond the common ken, — with the proposed new dormitory ren- dered indispensable by the increased number of students, and it becomes worth while to have lived fifty years to be able to look on this picture and on that. In the beginning co-education was a necessity, as it is now in a country schoolhouse. But the constant effort was to work away from it, and give the girls a chance with their own teachers. When the Buffalo House came into the market, the authorities were quick to a ' ail themselves of the opportunity and organize a separate department to meet what was supposed to be the peculiar edu- cational need of the girls. The success of the enterprise only intensified the desire to enlarge the facilities for the education of the female sex. The work was slow, but went on with persistent purpose. When at length the Female Seminary was erected on University grounds, far enough away from the college to make a home-life free from disturbing forces, but near enough to keep the chords of sympathy continually vibrating, all parties deemed the problem of edu- cation, so far as Lewisburg was concerned, to be happily and permanently soK-ed, Those old views have been modified in later ears, doubtless with good reason ; but, after all, if there were no dear and distinct Sem to-day, it would be necessary to create one for the sake of its usefulness and its charm. In the early days athletics were practiced under difficulties. Pedestrianisni was always in order, and it cost nothing. Foot-ball and sliinney were followed in primitive fashion. Swings and parallel bars were constructed in the rear of the West Wing. The game of all games which produced the best results was known as alley-ball. The towering east wall of the West Wing, unbroken except 143 by a small door, was daily bombarded with the lively sphere. There were great contests, and no debts. Swimming was indulged in at one of the piers of the old bridge. Boating was introduced, but it fell into desuetude. The creation of the campus broadened the field of sports. Now the prowess of the boys in inter- collegiate matches is known far and wide. There were cliques and rivalries in those days, as there always will be. There was nothing to fight about, but there was fighting all the same. In the sheer working off of surplus energy, lines were drawn and battles fought, in a Pickwickian sense, to the satisfaction of all parties. When the fraternities came in, it became possible to regulate and utilize this plethora of restless life. If the authorities of the time failed to grasp the situation in adopting the policy of sup- pression, to the di.sgruntling of the boys and the detriment of the University, their successors acted with a broader experience, and learned to employ even the rivalries of college life in the promotion of loyalty and enthusiasm. In 1848 Lewisburg was an obscure inland village, difficult to reach from a distance, and as difficult to depart from. For instance, the student left Philadel- phia b)- rail in the early Inorning, reached Harrisburg in the afternoon, transferred himself and his traps to the cumbersome but convenient canal-packet, enjoyed its cheap board and lodging while moving four miles an hour, was tipped out next morning at the Crosscut, whence he made his way over a dusty road and the dirtiest bridge in Christendom to the foot of Market street, up which he tramped with the firm tread of one who has other worlds to conquer. It was awfully slow, but it was great fun. The modern railroad which carries you to any point in the State in a few hours is prosaic and stale compared with the delicious primitiveness of that now obsolete mode of travel. But, on the whole, we are not sorry that the soporific canal, like the odorous mill-race that used to run though Lewi.sburg, is gone. Let it not be inferred that the paucity of resources and the narrowness of curriculum in that olden time meant poor work and deficient training. On the contrary, the very limitation of the time increased the intensity of application on the part of both teachers and students. Greek, Latin, and Mathematics were the steady diet, with a few side-dishes thrown in to make the necessary expansion. The quantity of work done was almost exhaustive ; the variety was no more than was required to relieve the pressure. The average excellence of the graduates in the first decade will compare not unfavorably with that in any equal period since. Professor Taylor was an accomplished executive and a great personal power. Professor Bliss won the affections of the students with a loftiness of character possessed by but few men. Professor Anderson was a class-room disciplinarian who stimulated his students to the farthest verge of achievement. Professor James plied his classes with a closeness of questioning that went to the roots of the subject. Doctor Malcom ' s lectures on Metaphysics will never be forgotten by ' 44 those who were so fortunate as to be under his teaching. There were giants in those days, as there are giants now, and the old boys never get weary in talking of the stature and power of their old teachers. But to-day is better than yesterday, though minus the glamour. We are enjoying not only what we have gained by our own effort, but also what has been bequeathed to us by those who have gone before. The graduate of ' 54 may recall his hard work accomplished with meagre tools, and the graduate of ' 99 may rejoice in his equally hard work with the aid of abundant facilities ; but together they will give common praise to the men of the past and the present, and wreathe the brow of every instructor who has contributed to the prosperity and glory of Alma Mater. ROBERT Lowkv. 14s W. I . NESBIT, ' ho. The Example of Washington. « t5 1AM not inclined to regard the present age of the world as being in any true sense of the term a degenerate age ; but rather do I think that world-wide conditions affecting human happiness are better to-daj ' than they have ever been in any preceding age. I think this is especially true of the conditions now prevailing in our own country, and I say this notwithstanding all appearances and circumstances that may be cited to the contrary. I am not oblivious to the fact that the daily newspapers, which, taken as a whole, fairly mirror the moral, political, intellectual, and industrial conditions of the day and times, furnish incontestable testimony to the fact that evil influences are everywhere present and actively at work, but thej ' also evidence the encouraging fact that never have these influences and the evil wrought by them been so fully exposed to the public gaze and reprobation as at the present time. Never have they been so vigorously and earnestly combatted as now ; yes, and I will say successfully combatted, too. All great reforms that have shed their lustrous light on the dark pages of human history, h ve come, figuratively speaking at least, by the edge of the sword and 146 at the point of the bayonet. Most of them have been won as the result of long- continued and often doubtful struggles, attended with many reverses, and result- ing at last in only partial successes. Young men, in the schools and colleges of the country there is plenty of work ahead for you to do in the fields of politics and statesmanship ! If you have set before yourselves high and honorable ideals of public duty and of public ser- vice, and are determined to model your lives and careers according to those ideals, never in the whole history of our country has the time been more propitious than now. Some good men must fall in every battle, no matter how righteous the cause in which they are engaged. This is the fate of war. The church has its long list of martyrs, and so has every battlefield of earth where men have con- tended for a principle because it was right. This must still be the fate of indi- viduals. But the great cause of a con.science in politics, of high and open and honoratjle political methods, based on the principle that righteousness alone exalteth a nation, and that a public office is always and ever a public trust, is steadily and surely moving on to victory. Forty years ago I was a student in college, and I well know the formative influence of the impi-essions then received, under the tuition of Dr. Loomis, in the fixing and subsequent development of my own views of public duty and of the moral responsibilit} ' of the American citizen for the just and rightful administra- tion of our republican form of government. I could now no more change my views, in these respects, than could the leopard change his spots or the Ethio- pian his skin, nor have I any wish to do so. Let me counsel the young men to study carefully the character of Wash- ington. Neither this country nor any other has ever produced a nobler example of dauntless physical and moral courage, of spotless integrity, and of unselfish patriotism. His is, from every point of view, the grandest figure that ever stood in the forefront of a nation ' s life, and the most worthy model which the world ' s history presents for the contemplation and study of our American youth. William L- Nesbit. 147 A. A. LPUSER, KSQ., ' 99. Preparing for the Bar. « « To be admitted to the Bar in Pennsylvania, one must comply with the rules of Court in the particular locality in which he may be. Each judicial district has its own rules, and each Court asserts its authority to determine who shall practice at its Bar without any dictation or interference from any outside source. The subject of legal education, however, has been receiving a good deal of attention recently at the hands of National, .State, and Local Bar Associations, with a .special reference to securing uniformity of standard as to the requirements for admission to the Bar, and substantial advancement has been made in this direction. The would-be .student of a few years ago chose his preceptor, hung around his office ( reading law, it was called) for two years or three, according to his age, not his acquirements, and then came up for examination before a committee specially appointed at the time. His reading covered perhaps all of Black- .stone, Kent, a little of Greetileaf on Evidence, Stephen on Pleading, Parsons on 148 Contracts, and perliaps a work on Torts, and one on Equity. The examination was mainly confined to Blackstone, or such parts of it as the several members of the examining committee thought they remembered. The contest was an unequal one, as the candidate was fresh from the books and the committee were not. He passed of course. But change is in the air, and the later tendency has been to appoint a Standing Committee or Board of Examiners ; to require all intending students- at-law to register with the prothonotary, and, as prerequisite to registration, to pa.ss a preliminary examination on certain specified branches ; and after regis- tration provision is made for a regular course of study covering .several years, as well as a year ' s clerkship in the office of a practicing lawyer. The preliminary examination recommended by the Pennsylvania Bar Asso- ciation is that required for admission to the Freshman class of a college in good standing ; and the system of uniform requirements for admission to the Freshman class, adopted by the conference committee representing Harvard, Yale, Pennsyl- vania, Columbia, Princeton, and Cornell, is mentioned as the standard.

Looking over this course it will at once occur to the student that the best place to master these studies is at a law .school, and not by himself or in a law office. Apart from all que.stions as to ability and aptitude to teach, few lawyers in active practice have the time or the inclination to do so ; but, even if they had, this work in an office can not be prosecuted so thoroughly, systematically, and advantageously to the student as at a first-class law school. There is much in the union of effort in a common direction, in the college (colleague) spirit, that is lost to the uidividual student in the ofBce. While as yet the standard for the preliminary examination is low — reaching only to the college entrance examination and not to the college degree — the indi- cations are that the trend is upward. It was not so many years ago that, with no preliminary examination, attendance upon two annual courses of lectures, followed with a final examination, was all that was required for the degree of M.D. Now the better class of medical colleges have a four-years ' course, and it will not be long before they will require a college degree for admission to the first year. And after the degree of M.D. has been conferred, before the new-fledged doctor can begin to practice in Pennsyhania, he must pass a rigid examination before a State Board of Examiners. So with the law : while formerly entrance examinations were not always insisted upon, or, if so, the standard for admission was low, the better law schools to-day are looking to a requirement calling for college degrees as a condition prece- dent to entry, and in some States, New York for example, all candidates for admission to the bar must pass the ordeal of a searching examination before the State Board of Examiners. If, as has been said by a recent writer, superficial legal training is partner- ship in robbery, the importance of amendment in this direction becomes apparent. And the college course best fitted as a preparation for the study of law is the old-fashioned classical course leading to the degree of A.B. There maj ' be easier courses and substitutes heralded as just as good, but they lack the test of time and the proof that is accepted as authority. Senator George Hoar, in a late article — speaking of the training that fits men to convince and persuade their auditors by speech, a faculty indispensable to orators, statesmen, advocates, 150 and preachers — says that to study and translate what are called the classics, the great Latin and Greek authors, is not only an important but an esscji ia instrumentality. Stick to the solids and essentials and touch the electives lightly. Do not waste time in college on professional studies ; leave them for your professional course. Lay your foundation broad and deep and strong. You can not success- fully build the foundation and run up the superstructure at the same time. In preparing, therefore, let your college work be thoroughly done — master the matter in hand. Don ' t spread, but utilize everything. Remember, however, that while the popular idea is that a ready tongue is the making of a lawyer, it is not true in fact. It is not enough to talk — you must have something to say. Words will not fail the man who has a message to de- liver. If you have no message, better be tongue-tied. Readiness of speech will not make up for ppucity of ideas The lawyer who is not disconcerted by a question from the Court nor sur- prised by the tactics of his adversary is not the voluble advocate with his graces of speech and readiness of retort, but the man who knoit ' s his case from beginning to end, facts and law. Thorough preparation tells in the class-room and in the court-room as well. Preparation for the Bar means hard work and constant study — study and work all the time. And this does not end with admission. Then only begins a life-time spent in preparation, and the pity is the lessons never stay learned. If any of yoti have drawings that way, stop to think twice. It ' s a long journey and a weary one, and the road to success is up-hill all the way. He who has the most staying power, the best mental equipment, best preparation, in acquirements and health, for hard work, has the best chance of reaching tlie top. But the top is a long wa - off. Andrew Albright Leiser, ' 69, U. at L. 15! V. C. HI 11,1.1 )I ' UTKK M U., ' yt William C. Hollopeter, N.D. ts tj WILLIAM C. HOLLOPETER, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics in the Medico- Chirurgical College, Philadelphia, attending physician Mtthodist Episco- pal Hospital and the St. Joseph ' s Hospital, Philadelphia, was graduated from Bucknell I ' niversity twenty-five years ago in probably the smallest class ever turned out in that institution. He then came to Philadelphia, and choosing so early the profession of Medicine in which he has been eminently successful as a practitioner, specialist, author, and teacher, he entered the University of Pennsyl- vania, graduating from there in 1877 in a class numbering 121, standing second in his class with an average of 95, and carrying off the first honor of $100. He modestly said of this on one occasion : This is truly Bucknell ' s training. Shortly after the termination of his studies at the University, he, with thirty-seven picked members of the graduating class from that institution, pre- sented himself as a competing candidate for resident physician at the LTniversity Hospital, Pre.sbyterian Hospital, and Philadelphia Hospital. Out of the.se three hospitals he succeeded in winning his way in two, and naturally this tended 152 to mould his career as a practitioner in this city. After the expiration of his term of hospital service he engaged in private practice in Philadelphia, with a trend towards certain specialties, which usually come to medical men of pronounced scientific acumen. For the last ten years he has been instructing the large clas.ses in the new buildings of the Medico-Chirurgical College and Hospital, holding the chair of Diseases of Children. His clinics rank among the foremost in advanced p;ediatrical teaching of the present day. In his own inimitable way, he succinctly describes diseases, demonstrates the phenomena and sequela, points out the char- acteristics in the patient ' s particular affliction, gives the formulas, and covers the ground of diagnosis, prognosis, and pathology so clearly and forciblj ' that one feels as if he has had a real personal interview with the professor. The Doctor is also connected with several other important hospitals in this city. He has, so far as has been consistent with the exacting duties of a large practice, contributed to the medical press, from time to time, various articles of a scientific nature which subjects especially appealed to him to investigate. Pre- eminently in his line of research he has carefully studied the disease hay-fevei, its causation, treatment, and cure, and from these labors emanated a small bro- chure of 150 pages that has added considerably to his reputation In three months after the publication of this valuable compend of medical science, the first edition was exhausted. The success which has greeted this original treatise com- pelled the publishers to announce a .second edition in preparation, which will be revised and enlarged to include the latest therapeutical thought in this impor- tant disease. In speaking of his .4 ma A a er, the Professor reflectively says: As an alumnus of Bucknell of twenty-five years ' standing, a word, as it were, from the outer world may afford the students a slight hint as to how we view them. It is a pleasure to cast my horo.scope across the quarter of a century that I have trav- eled since my departure from my Alma Mater. While not as frequent a visitor to her shrine as I should have been, I have constantly held her in fond remem- brance, and throughout life have felt ever so keenly my indebtedness to her and to her influences. To a young graduate leaving college, he instinctively craves the good opinion of strangers for his school and is frequently indignant when he finds that they are not corroborated by every one he meets. It is with unfeigned pleasure that I have noticed the growing favor with which the institution is held. Work- ing as I do among the graduates of the various leading schools of our country, I recognize a strong tendency to more properly appreciate the colleges that might be said to be without a reputation. I note with pride Bucknell ' s wonderful progress upward and renewed strength among colleges and college-bred men. Bucknell is recognized by all educated men as a progressive and high- toned institution, and compares favorably with our so-called ' best institutions. ' ' 53 It is curious to note how the reputations are gained. We scarcely should despise the small things, and undoubtedly it is impossible for nie to deny the fact that most of the reputation gained among college men, and men who have sons or daughters to send to institutions of learning, depends upon Bucknell ' s devotion to athletics. The institution has rapidly increased in the number of its buildings. I have noticed that each and every year it has had a larger and more effective class. In niv day the chapel service was held in one of the small recitation-rooms in the main building, and at that unearthly hour of seven o ' clock in the morning ! We had a physical laboratory in name only, and were supposed to have a telescope, but it was so well covered with dust that none but the janitor ever saw it ! The wonderful equipments and advancements made in every department of the institution are probably beyond all knowledge at present. Viewing it from afar, it is with the greatest of pleasure that I recognize its rapid educational prog- ress and the gaining of the position it should command among the other institu- tions of our country. Personally I take pride in recognizing the influence of our alumni in matters medical in Philadelphia. The preparation received by the training in Bucknell renders its graduate a peer to any college or university student, and these men have rapidly taken rank and position in not only our institutions of learning, but have succeeded in responsible positions as internes and resident physicians in the various hospitals of the city. 154 S.

It will not be possible for me to write an article for L ' Agenda, much as I would like to help it along, but I thank you sincerely for the kind invitation to do so. Between La Grippe, a paper for the American Medical Association at Columbus, Ohio, in June, and another before the International Ophthalmological Congress at Utrecht, Holland, in August, I am tearing ray hair out in handfuls, as you will notice on the photo, which I send by the same mail.

Toral. « « FOL,LOWING the destruction of Admiral Cervera ' s fleet at Santiago de Cuba, on July 3, 1898, General Toral, after a memorable siege and a series of fierce conflicts, was compelled, on July 14, to capitulate to General Sliafter. About 23,000 troops and 1 1,000 square miles of territory were surrendered. The Ameri- can casualties numbered about 1600; those of the Spanish command area con- jecture. The fall of Santiago closed hostilities in our victorious war with Spain, and, as this was the only land engagement of any magnitude, General Toral stands out con.spicuously as the only Spanish general of prominence in the war. General Toral was military governor at Santiago while I served there as United States Vice-Consul, and it was my privilege to become very well acquainted with him. I have quite a number of cards and personal notes from him, which in the light of subsequent events I value highly. But my first interview with him, which eventually brought us on very friendly terms, almost ended in a rupture because of the serious circumstances attending it. 156 My father had gone North for a much-needed rest on the American steam- ship Niagara, which sailed from Santiago on June 6, 1896, and thus I had full cliarge of the Consulate and of American interests in the district. Small-pox had already broken out in the city. The lower class of whites and the immense negro population superstitiously refused vaccination, and as no effort was made to quarantine cases, and the simplest mandates of cleanliness and sanitation never having obtained in tlie city, the population being enervated from starvation brought on largely by laziness and General Weyler ' s inhumane reconcentration order, the result was that the disease spread like wildfire. By the end of July there were nearly 5000 cases of small-pox in town. On the streets and at the marketplace miserable wretches covered with tlie .sores could be seen dragging themselves along. Almost daily some of the creatures came into the Consulate, and there were 300 cases within a radius of 100 yards of us. I saw three corpses taken from the house next door— victims of confluent smallpox. In addition to this, yellow fever broke out with unparalleled virulence and spread through the city, its most shining mark being my intimate friend. Monsieur Leon Glaudut, the French Consul, a man of remarkable talents and personality. All day long the dead- carts were passing with their grim loads to the cemetery, where the dead accumu- lated so rapidly that night often came upon the scene of the unceremonious burials, leaving some twenty or thirty to be interred on the morrow. I wanted my mother and wife to go north, but they refused to leave me. It was suicidal to continue our residence in the city, for foreigners in the tropics are more susceptible to the disease than the natives, and it was against orders for anyone to live outside of the city limits or beyond direct military protection or surveillance. So I went direct to General Toral, who had just come from Spain and whose word was law, intending to let nothing I could possibly subvert, stand in the way of obtaining permission to move to La Cruz, a point in the country about two miles down the bay, where the air at least was pure. It was a scorchnig tropical afternoon, about the last of July, when I drove up to the General ' s palace. I gave my card to the orderly who appeared at the door, was ushered into the reception-room, and in a very few moments the General came in with many smiles, and offered me the hospitality of his home, according to Spanish custom. He was a man of medium height, rather stockily built, and of proud mien. His features were regular and agreeable, but his face bore heavy lines of strength, and he had a square-set, heavy under jaw. His eyes were steel blue, and as he spoke he occasionally ran his fingers through his locks of gray hair. He wore a thin, light-weight campaign uniform of blue and white, with the insignia of rank. During the preliminary forms of politeness the General had profusely told me he was entirely at my service, and that he would do anything in his power to oblige me, but when I told him my errand he shook his head. 157 That is impossible, he said. You know that outside of the places gar- risoned by our troops the country is infested with revolutionists and irresponsible desperadoes, and ) ' ou and your family might easily be murdered there. Perhaps that is true, Your Excellency, I replied, but in the city there is scarcely a chance of our escaping death by disease. There is everything to hope for if we move to the country. Yes, he answered, but if I allowed you to move to La Cruz and you are murdered, it might easily be alleged that the crime was perpetrated through the connivance of Spanish officials. Look at the grave international complications that might arise as a result. Well, General, I .said, lam willing to stay in town myself and take wiiat comes. If we moved to La Cruz I would have to go forward and backward every day. Hut I want all the chances for my family possible. I am not willing to have m}- family stay in town with an almost certainty of dying. Tlieir only safety lies in the healthful and uncontaminated surroundings of the country. The old warrior shook his head. General, I continued, your authority in the matter is absolute, but I do not see how, under the circumstances, I can take ' no ' for an answer. You are aware that both my father and my.self in our official capacity here have labored long and incessantly for the interests of both our governments to avoid serious complications in the adjustment of the vexatious questions concerning the rights and important interests of American citizens, which have constantly arisen since the outbreak of the insurrection. This attitude on our part merits .some personal consideration, and I need this concession to facilitate me in the discharge of the duties devolved upon me. As Your Excellency is aware, this Consular district, with its four agencies, extends for 500 miles along the southern coast of Cuba ; it contains over 500 American citizens and $20,000,000 of American capital depen- dent for their protection by the American government through the medium of our consular office. The efficiency of the office, which is now under my charge, de- pends upon my health, and my own health demands the privilege solicited. I believe I can truthfully go farther. It is doubtful, with the present and prospec- tive avalanche of death, if continuous American representation could possibly be maintained here without such a conce.ssion. Only a week ago the French Consul succumbed, the English and German Consuls are on their backs. Whose turn is next? I am willing to assume responsibility for any dangers incurred by living at La Cruz, if your consent is obtained, and I will so advise the American author- ities. vSurely I do not want to be forced into a position where I will be compelled to notify my government that General Toral withholds a privilege necessary for the facilitation of its interests here and the per.sonal welfare of its representative. I am sure that neither your excellency nor myself want any unpleasant conse- quences to arise from a refusal. 158 The General looked at ine a moment and, half smiling, said : I see 3 ' on are determined, and if you are willing to assume the risks incurred I guess I ' ll have to give in. I never had felt more determined, and his concession lifted a heav ' load from m} ' breast. The chief of staff was summoned, and orders were given him to prepare permits necessary for our convenience under the strict military regula- tions enforced, viz : one authorizing our residence at La Cruz ; one for each of the family, allowing us to enter and leave the city at any time ; one authorizing me to use a saddle on my horse — otherwise horsemen were not allowed to go out of the city with saddles, which, it was feared, might be appropriated by the in- surgents ; and another entitling a servant to carry to our home provision and medicine as needed without the necessity of special authorizations for each occa- sion. Within an hour all the papers were delivered at the Consulate by a special carrier. And this in the land of manana (to-morrow). This was the beginning of very cordial and friendly relations with Gen- eral Toral, and whenever possible he afterwards made it a point to expedite any business of the Consulate coming within his province. A number ot American citi- zens — all of whom were then under more or less suspicion in Cuba — arrested and arbitrarily held without just cause were immediately released upon appeal to him without any resort to the dilatory tactics common to Spanish officialdom. He always used his best efforts in the protection of property belonging to American citizens. He showed an unusual personal interest in the welfare of both father and me. He ordered the discharge of policemen and the punishment of guards upon several occasions for interfering with the free transmission of personal effects from Santiago to our country home. For fear we might be molested by some of the ignorant Spanish sympathizers when feeling was running so high because of the threatened recognition of the insurgents by our Congress, he stationed a num- ber of guards in the neighborhood of the Consulate for our protection, and he subsequently maintained guards near the Consulate, but not close enough to be indelicate. He offered military escort for protection when going about, which was declined with thanks, although the consideration shown was deeply appreciated. Shortly before I returned North permanently, because of my health, father and I made a friendly call on General Toral. After a while the conversation drifted to the revolution, — the subject most generally discussed during those times on the island, — and the General said: The trouble with these wretched insurgents is that they fire one shot at long range, and take to the bush so we can ' t find them It would only take a few hours to finish them all if they would stand up and fight. . Well, General, said father, with a good-natured smile, if the Yankees ever come, down here to fight you will not have any complaint of that kind to make of them. General Toral ' s Spanish blood and education gave him an inordinate confidence in the success of Spanish arms, and a none too great ■59 estimation of the valor of American troops. He looked incredulous for a moment, and said : Doctor, if our soldiers would get along as well as you and I do, there would be no occasion for trouble. On April 6, nSgS, when father was ordered by the American government to quit Santiago for the English Island of Jamaica, just prior to the outbreak of our war with Spai ' u, the news spread rapidly through the city. General Total, accom- panied by the civil and naval governors, called and requested father to stay, say- ing that the excitement was at such a pitch that they feared if he left it would be impossible to restrain the populace, and giving him their personal pledge that if he remained and war broke out between the United States and Spain that he would be protected from all harm. Father thanked them for their kind offer, but said the orders of his government were Imperative, and that he had no alternative but to obey. Under General Toral ' s oiders twenty policemen were sent to escort father from the Consulate to the steamship Drookliiic in waiting. Ju.st prior to his departure, father sent his se despide card to General Toral, and inmicdiatcly received the following in reply : Sknor Doctor Pulaski F. Hyatt, Consul de lost Estados Unidos en Santiago de Cuba. MuY Senor Mio : Recibo su targeta dedespedido, y dese ' i a ' d. un feli.x viage; sintiendo por mi parte sinceramente la ausencia de un f uncionario official tan attento y honorable como Vd.

My Dear Sir ; I receive your card of departure, and I wish you a happy voyage ; feeling upon my part sincereh ' the absence of an official functionary so attentive and honorable as yourself. I remain your sure, attentive servant, who kisses your hands, JosK TORAL. Poor General Toral ! The corruption and neglect of ages under Spanish dominion, which blighted Culia and left vSautiago in a .state of unpreparedness, made the city ' s downfall all the more inevitable as soon asthe onslaught of our heroes came. But these are lost sight of in Spain to-day in the curses of its igno- rant ]iopnlace, who demand the trial by court-martial and execution of this mag- nificent soldier and gentleman. John F.

How she sprung from the brow of her sire. In a glow of empyrean fire. And was worshiped and lauded of men But the beautiful, strange superstition Has been lost in the sweeping transition To Now — from the mystical Then. So we seek for a symbol of Life, But a symbol of travail and strife And of growth that is marked with the years. For that state of a Being possessitig Ev ' ry gift of Divinity ' s blessing. Is not for tile ' alley of Tears. As we turn to a lowlier sign Than the bust of our Pallas divine. Let us look to the aloe and learn — Of development — slow in attaining The perfection of growth, and in gaining That end which its efforts must learn. Xotwithst.Tuding the long, empty years That must lapse ere its beauty appears. To adorn what its labor has wrought. .And in spite of the days stern and dreary With the Plan of Kxistence, made weary With Battle of Life to be fought. Still serene in its being it stands And in strength and in vigor expands. As a proof of its power — survives ! Till it reaches the infinite sweetness Of a rounded, perfected completeness Of life and the spirit that strives. And Maturity ' s crown is refined Vith a birth-throne in sacrifice .shrined, As a blossom is born of the strife. For an hour, the elements cherish, For an hour, it thrives but to perish With that which has given it life. Do we count such endeavors as lost. When our efforts are valued at cost And we gather no visible gain ? When a life has been faithful to duty And the growth of the soul ' s earnest lieautv, Is that to have labored in vain ? Kx Centuree. The Aniericaii Aloe. 1 66 College Hill. « ts FOR an imaginativ ' e niiiul a retrosjiective view of College Hill is replete with wonders. Let us go back in iinagiiiatioii, say to 1700, long before the first white man entered this beautiful valley, when the wild beast and the Indian alone roamed these hills. The hill is covered with monarchs of the forest and overlooks with silent grandeur the placid waters o( the Susquehanna. The flats below are sparsely wooded and the verdant meadows, .so says tradition, are still the home of the bi.son. The hill is a rendezvous of the peaceful Delawares. How often ,._. been the site of an Indian camp or a silent witne.ss at the council-fire or even m   i Indian war-dance. The scout, watching a hostile party stealing along the trail at its ba.se or paddling silently along the river, has concealed himself in the thickets on its side. Or perhaps the signal-smoke curling from its summit ga e warning of an apjiroaching foe. Let us advance a hundred years. The hill is still forest-clad, but the meadows and the hi.son ;u ' e gone. The war-jiarty now holding council on the hill is of the fierce Huron-Iroquois, from the north, who iiave overcome the wea ' kt ' v Delawares and placed an Iroquois viceroy o -er them. The white man has m, ■■■■■ his way into the prime -al fcjrest and the sound of his a.x; startles the lon. i denizens who have taken refuge on the hill. That first sound of the a.K rings tlie death-knell of forest, wild beast, and Indian. Another century, and again all is changed. Indian and woodman are both gone. College Hill is the home of an institution of learning already ancient. The war-whoop has given place to the college yell, and cla.ss scraps and foot-ball games have taken the place of conflicts with arrows and tomahawks. Thus we have seen the hill ch.inge h - successi -c stages fn.im a irgin forest, the home of wild beast and sa age, to the seat of an institution devoted to knowledge, art, and culture, and a tvpe of the highest civilization. May the institution always remain sitting like a crown on the sununit of her beautiful hill, and niay her fame be spread abroad among all the nations, 167 My Monday Morning Visitation. M ONDAY iiioniinji I was dreaming That on earth no more I ' d be ; That nu ' soul was now departing I ' or tliat blest eternity. I could hear an angel knocking . t tiiv door .so soft and slill, .■ nd mv soul in meekness answered, I ' ll ol)ey my Master ' s will. Soon the knocking grew nmch louder. And my soul to earth returned, And niv lieavenly vision vanishid Willi I lie joy I just had learned. Then my angel was Iransfigured. And my iss fast passed awa . As I heard my old washwoman Saying, Any :i ' c!s i lo-duv . ' A Flower Garden. « « Ntir fnii er garden vft was never known. OX llic iiank of a dear old river, on the outskirts of a quiet little town note l fur its blue blood, its low houses hugging the streets, and its uneven iirick sidewalks, there is a far-famed flower garden; far-famed, indeed, for many a city has sent its choicest young plants here for cultivation. The plants received are restricted to four kinds, as it is the purpo.se of the florist to take onl a few kinds .so that perfection may be reached. We visited the garden one morning at about eight o ' clock, when the fog had scarcely risen from the river and the sun was just making its va ' throngh the surrounding oaks. Kntering the rear gate we were conducted to the front part of this paradi.se of plant-life, where we found the gardeners assembled to 1 68 be in the day ' s work. We had time onl - t i notice that they were competent- looking florists, vvliL-n our attention was attracted to a large bed of fullblown red roses. Oh, such b-auty, such sjilendor ! Stately, dignified, rich-luied the ' were. The poet understood them when he said : The rose is wont wilh pride to swell and ever seeks to rise. In their dewy freshnes.sthey were an inspiring ina.ss. But no ; we had not interjireted them aright. What we had thought were pearls of dew were tears in the flowers ' eyes. We were filled with sympathy and felt that we had been favored with an insight into their deeper feelings. The secret was this : the term of their cultivation was drawing to a close ; they were soon to leave the garden and the gardener standing over them, whom they had feared, respected, and loved. Besides, they were to be parted each from the other and transplanted in distant soil. Day after day they had grown .side b - side, twining around and supportnig one another. How could they refrain from tears when they recalled it all ? Soon all traces of sorrow were gone, and we could imagine them sa ing : If we must go, let it be cheerfully, hopefully, resolutely. Other breezes will waft our perfume, other hearts will be cheered, and other friends will appreciate and admire us. We passed on to the century plant which occupied the position next in importance. It was sturdy, indeed, neither affected Ijy the weather nor swayed b - the winds, but pointing ever upward its ma.ssive leaves. Great possibilities rested in this plant. Nature, surely, had appreciated its worth, ior she had stamped it with the badge of her greatest approval by giving it a dress of her favorite coh.r. Then, too, deep in its center, protected by the surrounding leaves, was a bud which was to blossom when, like the ro.se, it should be sent into the world an ideal plant. Next came pansies — a broad bed of flaming purple pansies — beautiful, it is true, yet small and insignificant looking in contrast to the monstrous century plant. Perhaps that was why they seemed to cling .so closely to Mother Earth ; yet, withal, they raised their royal faces to the sunlight with inspiring .self- confidence and a tinge of conceit, which was pardonable in fac s which betokened such deep thought. Their gravity was intense. That was because of those lovely carnations on the other side of them ; nor liad they l)een consoled !) ■ that verse : Tliv rivals thou nii ht ' st excel hadsl thou but scent. Yes, there were carnations galore in their fresh young blushes I It had not lieen long since they had entered the garden from their respective hothouses, and they still felt strange. However, they were making a great effort to ai)pear at their be.st by waving their opening buds proudly in the air. Tiieir spice and vivacity gave them an agreeable charm which appealed In every one and showed 169 that they would never be crushed ; while the pleasing odor that liiey breathed out was an emblem of the sweeter unseen wliich time would de ' elop and bring forth. The future will tell us more about the carnation. And thus, with thoughts awakened in us which we could .scarcely express, we reluctantly left the garden and wandered through the grove of tall oaks which seemed to stand as guards, stretching out their arms in protection and pride over their beloved flowers. We ascended the hill while the little squirrels hopped across the winding path and up the mighty oaks as if defying us to follow. The view spreading out before us was one not to be forgotten, while directly below, withdrawn a little distance as if to contemplate the beauty, the mystery, and the reality of the .scene, flowed the faithful river ever onward in its cour.se, while over all rested a calm, cloudless .sky. The Weather. BEN and Lite went up the hill To study Deutsch to.E;ether, Ben ' s heart was light ; Lile ' s face was hright, While whisp ' ring of the weather. Ben and Lite sat on the steps. Studying Deutsch together Ben read to Lile ; Lile read to Ben. It did not change the weather. Ben and I ile came down the hill, They came down all together. Ben smiled at Lile ; Lile smiled at Ben. ' Tis all the fault of the weather, 170 A Student ' s Flirtation. « « COLLEGE had closed for the Christmas recess, and the Pennsy train for Philadelphia was pnlling into the Moiitandon station to receive its load of departing students. As usual, the number was large and seats were scarce. Nearly all had been acconimodated, however, and there was still one half-seat left unoccupied. Here it was most natural for me to stop as I passed through the car. In the seat, next to the window, sat a young lady whose innocence and beauty could be appreciated at a glance, and the effect of which upon myself I could actually feel while standing in the aisle looking down upon her. To describe her and the first impression she made upon me faithfully would be beyond my ability ; and yet her beauty was of the type I most admire. Her complexion was clear and fair almost to perfection ; her hair was dark brown, rather short than long, and instead of being held back artificially, it ftll unrestrained in curls around her face, adding to the charm of her appearance. Her brown eyes were bright, clear, and innocent enough to thrill a poet, for there seemed to shine out through them a something capable of inspiring one to better and nobler things. As she turned her face up into mine, I am compelled to admit that I considered her the most enjoyable picture I had looked upon for many a day. Having obtained permission, I took the vacant seat beside her and began getting my bearings in the car, as every traveler naturally does. Very soon, how- ever, I was recalled from that occupation, and a little startled, too, by an ordinary question addressed to me by my pretty fellow-passenger. After answering her question, my attention again wandered to our companions in the car and to the scenery out of the window, though I must confess my thoughts were more concerned with her, and I glanced at her as often as I did out of the window, for already she had completely taken my fancy. A few moments later .she addressed another remark to me with a frankness perfectly consistent with what I might have anticipated from her innocent appearance, and my second an.swer was more prolonged ; for I thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of having her look into my face so earnestly. After the ice was broken, we gradually drifted into quite a conversation, most interesting to me, atid evidently so to her. We chatted about the people in the car, of the ever-changing scenery, and whatever we happened to think of, and her mind was so bright and flexible that thoughts came quick and fast. It required no effort to talk to her, and we soon began to feel very well acquainted. As we became more friendly, she told me about herself and wliat her pleasures were, and pointed out her mamma across the aisle a short distance ahead. 171 The longer we chatted the more friendly and the more interested we became, until finally, in her earnestness in tellina; me one of her experiences, much to my surprise, but entirely unconsciously on her part, she rested her hand gently on my arm. And then, as she became more engrossed in the story, she paid no attention, if, indeed, she noticed it, to the fact that her hand was resting on mine and almost within it. When the story was ended, her hand was withdrawn as carelessh- and unconsciously as it had been placed there, and she seemed to think it iKjlhing unusual. Where it might have ended, I do not know. I had to leave the car at Dauphin ; and as we drew near the depot .she seemed sorr ' to have me go, and I was sorry to leave. We made the best of the last few minutes, however, and as I left the car .she gave me as sweet and pleasant a farewell smile and extended her hand as frankly as though we had been intimate friends for years ; and yet I never learned her name, nor she mine. Had a wrong been committed ? Was either of us guilty of an impropriety ? Perhaps, if the circumstances had been different. I caught one parting glimpse of her face as the train left the station. She was standing on the seat waving a farewell to me through the window, and that last picture of the brightest and, prettiest little girl of i ' our years I ever met has lingered with me e er since. A Junior Pessimist. « « LIFE is all a fallacy anyhow. You think you see a thing and you don ' t .see it at all. Things are not what they seem. Red is green, blue is yellow, white is not really white, it is gray, and black is nothing at all. You see a red i)arn in the di.stance ; it is not red, it ' s gray; yes, gray ; red is green, but that barn is gray all the same. But the unkindest cut of all is your best girl ' s jiicture from a physicist ' s point of view. A Junior, you know, is a physicist by compulsion. Your Marie, yon think, has ruby lips, pink cheeks, blue eyes, a pure white brow and raven hair. Well, .she has not, by any means. Her lips are green, her cheeks a fainter .shade of the same bli.ssid tint, her eyes are yellow, her brow a grayish green, and her hair, why, .she has no hair at all. Beliold your sweet Marie ! Ah, me ! life is truly an utter fallacy, a vain delusion ! 172 Social Life of Colleges. « « As a novelty, an open discussion on any snhject, chosen by the appointed nieniljcr was prograninied for Theta Alpha, the first meeting of the winter term. vSomethiiig unnsual being expected, a large attendance was present. Alexander, addressing the society, gives as the subject, The Social Life of Colleges, speaking in substance as follows: Most worthy brethren, I limit the di.scussion of the evening to the social intercour.se of our co-educational system. I heartily endorse the more advanced philo.sophers in bringing woman to the exalted station of man in college-life. I expect the speakers of the evening to follow my course. Without giving an opportunity to others, the Right Honorable Jay vSnyder immediately gives vent to his overloaded feelings with : My dissatisfac- tion with the social life of Bucknell between .sexes is great. I have been unfor- tunate, but truly innocent. At Normal it was different, chats with friends of the other sex not only being permitted, but highly encouraged. A few days past I gained the disapproval of the boys by .sitting next a short, fair-haired damsel of the Junior Class ; next day, withdrawing to another seat, I was accn.sed of cowardice by the girls, every hair on the head of each being sacred to me. I know when I am bashful and when not. I believe it is a law laid down liy a higher authority than my.self. (Great applau.se). The question is continued by one of our numerous cla.ss benedicts, a man of many trades, one who has finally attained to the proud distinction of a book- seller. I think there is danger in too close connection, Shakespeare somewhere states, ' Love comes like a summer ' s sigh. ' One of my class brothers was in the habit of .saying, ' The co-educational system is all right, but there is not enough of it. ' Ah, me ! poor fellow, he left here with five to support him, while I could get but one. I advise the last speaker to try a widow The benedict is followed by ' ' Widower ' ' Caleb Barrett Ayars, Jr. : After some experience would not advise our auburn-beardei brother to try a widow. We can not stand at all times, but if we can reach ahead to the ideal we will lie all right. Orator Shipman states against his convictions, but practically to save time, hence money, that Correspondence will .sometimes bring it to a succes.sful is.sue ; vacations can be utilized to this end and the term profited l)y work. While Duffy DeWitt, the Xoble One, who resists all attempts of the fair sex, states truly, I really dread going to a Seminary reception, though I feel the ladies miss something. 173 A society man must be heard from, so Wassell, the Ladies ' Man, sa5 ' S that Associations with large bodies collectively is of inestimable benefit. I could not live without dail} ' being with our opposites, and I attain to a permanent scat next the dear girl in class. Ah ! last but not least, the funnj- man rises, the one who asks. Why does (a) miller wear a white cap. He pursues the previous speakers with an unquenchable desire to roast. When first I came here, in pas.sing a fair maid, T doffed my hat, believing, possibly, she was a cla.ssmate, but oh ! how .sorry was I it happened, for no sooner did she see the hayseed in my hair than with an insignificant smile she tossed her head into the air and has not noticed poor me since. With our bachelor, I .sympathize with such sympathy as did old Rip Van Winkle feel for his dog ' Schneider. ' I believe it is well to look for a home, but think as does the ' Widower, ' to fight .shy of widows. I think that often the point at is.suecan be gained by correspondence, and surely Professor Perrine would advise the means of composition ; but if we look to Professor Phillips (who blu.shes), he would warrant the power of oratory as the best. Men ' s hearts at times are to be touched by the power of persuasion ; assuredly the heart of a woman has a weak point to the smooth tongue of man. Gentlemen, I advi.se oratory. Between the Classes. « « A T last the weary hour has gone, The bell rings out, now, clear and strong. Its welcome message bringing. t)ut troop the lads and lassies all From classroom into spacious hall ' Mid noisy talk and laughter. Down College Hill a maiden trijis, A conscious smile plays round her lips Her cheeks are somewhat rosy. A gallant youth walks liy her side, His face aglow with manly pride, His manner slightly rattled. There ' s no lane but has its turning, As these two are sadly learning, While slowly on they saunter. Beneath the appletree they pause, It ' s just to finish up a clause. Or sentence of importance. In very shy, reluctant way, Which tells how mucli he ' d like to stay. The young man turns back slowly. We see him now his way retrace With ling ' ring steps and thoughtful face, . nd many backward glances. This is the story known to all ; But to the actors it must fall To give to us the sequel. 174 A Feast at the Sem. « ts TEN O ' CLOCK ! It is night ; faculty invasions are over and the power of Morpheus is supposedly presiding over the Pretty Senis ; the rats have started their nightly raid on the hall wastebaskets, and everyone, with the exception of that fellow in the moon, feels that Sem-life is now in the delightful mystery of dreamland. That lunar spectator has, however, shone too long over Semdom to be so deceived, —but distance prevents interference. Ten thirty ! Along the darkened corridors glide maidens with an.xions, expectant faces, as though looking for someone whom they did not wish to .see ; the air is filled with strange, unnatural sounds, and every board, when stepped upon, seemingly trys to excel its neighbor in squeaks and groans. When, after numerous attacks of heart failure at the fancied sound of a familiar step, the goal of this nightly escapade is reached, the door is noi.selessly opened from within, and that triumphant feeling of relief at safety is experienced as the door closes behind you. Where is that ancient deity with his overpowering influence of poppies? Evidently he has resigned in favor of a more jovial brother, who, in his turn, has cast a spell of fun, frolic, and feasting over his subjects, for you are now greeted by a bevy of jolly, laughing girls, who are all absorbed in the opening of a .small wooden box in the center of the room. I ' pon the box is printed in Journal war type the startling information that Peterson ' s vScourine is the only dirt Eradicator, but you feel sure that this receptacle is acting in an entirely new role than its maker intended. Tiie hostess, with a fierce- looking hatchet, is endeavorin.g to remove the firmly fastened cover and, with the suggestions of her solicitous friends, is at last successful. Oh, the treasures that are then brought to view ! The apropos angel food, followed by a crisp, browned, headless chicken, which is tenderly placed on the waiting comb and brush tray ! The school-girls ' delight of delights, olives, home-made candy and pickles, fruit, nuts and cookies. It seems to the delighted gaze as though it were a regular bottomless treasure-box ! No one, without experience, can appreciate the full significance of a mid- night school feast ; the quintessence of joy that is realized when sitting com- fortably on the floor with a chicken perambulator in one hand and in the other 175 n pickle large enough to have taken first prize at the Union County Fair, or to liave felt the trinnijih experienced at the successful harpooning of an obstinate olive with a N. G. hatpin. In after years when Latin At Homes and squelches have faded quite from the vSemites memory, still, fresh in the chambers of Imagery, the picture gallery of the mind, ever coming to view, when thoughts of Auld laiig syne arise, will be the mental kinetoscope representation of the Sem Feast. Saved W K were gathered in the chapel On a chill December morn, By the clock ' twas eight and after, And with care each face was worn. ' Tis a fearful thing in college To be harassed by the thought That the dreaded hour is coming Bringing fast a grade of n.iught So we reached the Lab in .silence, — Kor the smartest was afraid, — While the jolly Prof, was smiling At the flunks that would be made.

And his heart was free from fear As he answered well his topic In a voice assured and clear. ■ 76 Voices from the Couch. « « HE is a Bucknell student — a typical society student. The clock on the Baptist Church has just pealed forth the midnight hour when, tired from one of those endless social functions, he has thrown himself upon his couch. And a fine place has he chosen for rest — his well-loved couch, covered with pillows. Pillows of every description are here to be found : pillows evidently intended for use, pillows for ornament ; B. U. pillows, class pillows ; ruffled pillows, and corded pillows ; pillows painted and pillows embroidered. And in these downy depths the owner soon is lost in dreamy meditation. He thinks of his college life, of its seeming chase after pleisure rather than learning, of what his father will think when that last bill comes in, of the vanity (if life in general and all those other thoughts that come to a student who is learning from experience that his idea of life and of a good time possibly does not coincide with that of Webster ' s Unabridged, giving the latter the benefit of a doubt. But suddenly his reverie is interrupted. What is that strange sound I He had thought he was alone, but surely a human voice is disturbing the quiet of his room. He listens and hears distinctly : Yes, as I was telling you last night, I am tired of life within these dingy walls. When Nelly — ah, he hears his sister ' s name — gave me to Tom to bring to college, I expected to find tilings here .some- what like my former surroundings. I had learned to admire industry, order, and quiet. But all of industry that I ever see here is once every three months when Tom stays in his room perhaps two nights in succession and I hear him mutter : ' Stick to it, old fellow ! This pony must be finished and we ' ll pull through once more. ' About once a month I perceive an attempt at order when he sweeps out. And the morals of the place ! Good Gracious ! Aunt Jane ' s cap frill would stand upstraighter than my ruffle does if she was here in my place sometimes. Ah ! I am afraid even college life has its shady side. I often wish I was back home with Nell. Scarcely does our young disciple of learning (?) realize that one of his pillows is talking, when ;t stops and another begins : Oh, yes ! I agree with you there, but I have no time for such thougths. I came from the Sem — was swiped at a reception, you know. The girls down there think that the boys really like them when they call on them, skip with them and come to their windows for taffy. I used to think the same, but I tell you I have changed my mind. How I would like to go bqck nd tell the girls that the boys are simply ' in for fun, ' as they say. ' 77 Then, too, if I could only tell the boys what triflers those girls are, for they say sometimes a college boy really does lose his heart on a Semite. But here I stay and stay and the boys and girls go on fooling each other more than ever. And now another takes up the strain: Oh, I, too, have my story. Dorothy gave me to Tom. She, his first love, lives in the little town where he passed his Prep days. In the ardor of that first attack what vows he made ! Now he seldom even looks at her picture, and he ' s always murmuring something to himself aljout ' Edith. ' I don ' t know who Edith is, but Dorothy ' s name surely isn ' t Edith. I know who Edith is, piped an affected little voice. She is a town girl who has captivated his fancy and perhaps won his heart. At least she thinks so, and I have heard him tell her that she was his first and only love. He never even mentioned Dorothy, as you call her. I hope all may be well — at the most it will he only one more ' college widow ' added to the ranks. Ha ! Ha ! the town-girl may think she has his love, but how about the Sem girl? this time he hears. Oh, those notes of sweetness and soul-thrilling expressions that Rebecca receives from him ! Surely, there must be some truth in them. I think since I came here that men and women ever will be triflers. Broken hearts are nothing in the.se days, and, in fact, I am afraid it is a difficult matter to break one. And I came from the Girls ' Study-Room, basely ' appropriated ' and brought to this despicable abode. I have never given much time to the heart- breaking question, but I would like to get away from this room and exist in contentment once again in ihat respectable place. Here no one ever studies, and there the girls always study — unless they talk. And I am the outcome of that old strike of the Glee-Club trip. Merely a passing fancy, I imagine. Perhaps it will continue until the trip this year. Madge sent me to Tom on his birthday this year. She was his old childhood playmate. Many castles in the air they built as well as houses from stones. Of course, she ' s only ' Madge ; ' but he often talks to her sweet-pictured face. And he always knows his Greek after the confab. It seems a good omen for Madge — and for Tom, too. But our Collegiate arouses and rubs his eyes as if to clear away a mist. All is quiet. Half-past one and cold as Greenland. Dreaming and freezing for an hour and a half. What fools we mortals will be. We wonder if he will forget what the pillows told him. 178 Cranberries. WHEX the class of nineteen hundred, In its Freshman days was numbered, It was made the subject matter Of a scorn that fell much flatter Than the erring brains that thought it could have wished ; When the universal cry, Was to fool, outwit, and guy, Lest at banquet time much pleasure should be missed. Of the Freshies, never dreaming. Nor of strange, revengeful scheming. In a glow of conscious power, ' Xinty-nine had fixed an hour, And in Cameron they gathered for a feast. Till upon the midin ' ght air. Cries of Freshies — everywhere ! Made them tremble, and their terror never ceased. Then a Biddy, quickly dipping Into sauce — with fist all dripping. Hurled the cranberries into space With the vigor of her race. Madly whirling, they descended with a flop. , nd in truth it is averred, With the next course they were served, . nd the unsuspecting duffers ate the slop ! Ex- Centuree. 179 The College Widow. HA ' E you heard of the fair college wiilovv, With her wealth of endearments and grace, With her s )ft drooping eyes and a coyness that lies In her childishly innocent face? ( Ah, yes ! In her innocctit face. ) There ' s a power and charm in the waving Of the hair ' iieath her Pompadou r hat ; And a cool, slender hand stamped witli ' enus ' brand, Do you fancy a man resists that ? ( Poor devils, they can ' t resist that ! ) So she plays with a heart ' s first vibrations. And its owner is glad to be rash, — Till he finds he is sold, when he comes to behold That his pockets are empty of cash. ( Poor beggars, its hard on the cash ! ) Though her sisterhood frowns disapproval. She has lovers enough — and to spare ; And it ' s one of her rules, when she ' s proven them fools. To reject them with diffident air. ( Poor fools, if they happen to care ! ) Though they know of her strange mocking power, — That they ' ve only their folly to blame. With experience bought, they are wretchedly caught. As a moth, in a hot, stinging flame. (Poor moths, how consuming the flame !) But there ' s comfort, perhaps, in reflection, . When despoiled, by the years that advance. Of her coquetry ' s charm, she will wake in alarm. And would harbor most any old chance. (Poor widow, she won ' t . W the chance !) Ex- Centuree. iSo One Too Many. ts « RODGE3. EAMES was a good fellow endowed with a handsome face, splendid physique and brilliant mind. Yet with all these attractive qualities he had one great failing which might be expressed in the words of his own favorite quotation : How happy would I be with either, were ' tother dear charmer away. In short, he was an Adam who could not be content with one Eve nor at ease with two. This failing often involved its possessor in serious difficulties. As surely as he took ' maiden number one to a foot-ball game, maiden number two was there and cast reproachful glances at him. At such times Rodger was wont to relieve his feelings by muttering his favorite quotation. The year that the great event of his youthful life occurred, his second charmer dwelt within the sacred portals of the seminary, and this fact prevented many a mishap. On Saturday evening he could call at the seminary until eight ; then, pleading some important engagement, hie him to town and bask for the rest of the evening iu the smiles of his town girl. As for picnics, boating- parties, and balls, ' ' maiden number two ' ' could accept no such invitations, so he took maiden number one and all went well. Bnt one day an unforeseen difficulty arose. It was June, and as Rodger remarked, Summer always has its trials ; if it is not the heat or mosquitoes it ' s — girls. The difficulty was twofold. This year the college men were permitted to escort the seminary maidens to the twilight concerts on the college campus and to the later exercises in Commencement Hall, and Rodger knew that a certain pretty seminary senior expected him to take advantage of his privileges. That was half the trouble ; the other half was that a prett - town girl was anticipating all these attentions for her own sweet self. Poor Rodger ! he tore his hair, racked his brains, repeated his favorite quotation. What could he do? He might take one on Monday evening and the other the next evening ; he might invite some other girl ; but these plans seemed inadequate to the situation, and finally he decided to ask both ' ' dear charmers. ' ' The guileless maidens accepted Rodger ' s invitation for the two evenings, each thinking herself fortunate in having so handsome an admirer. Monday evening saw this Romeo of two Juliets clad in his swellest outfit, on his way to town. His courage almost forsook him at the sight of his town girl in her dainty white gown. But he soon recovered and, chatting gaily, the two went on their way until they came to the street on which the seminary was situated. i8i Then Rodger said, Let us turn down here, and she, though surprised, silently complied. If surprised then, what were her feelings when, drawing near the seminary, he said, I have a friend in here who is going with us ! But still she was silent and awaited an explanation. In response to his card, Rodgers friend came down, looking as fresh and sweet as the roses in her belt. vShe, too, seemed surprised at the situation, and both girls bowed and .smiled coldly when Rodgers introduced them. They had long known each other by sight, but neither ever dreamed she was not the only girl in the world for Rodger Eanies. In spite of the forbidding circumstances this beau chcvalio managed to charm his charmers, and all three seemed merry As far as appearances went, that evening passed serenely until Rodger was once more alone with maiden number one. What happened then only the inquisitive stars can tell, Init from that night there was a marvelous change in Rodger Eames. The next year his college friends called him Rodger, the woman-hater. The Farmer at the Game. ' Took a walk the other da - Out ter see them fellers pla)- At a game I ' d hurd folks tell. Had no place this side uv hell. In our church the sistren said : l ' olks that playe l it broke their head, . nd in ev ' ry game they played Nine or ten were cripples made ; . rms were busted, noses smashed, Kars pulled off, and faces gashed. So I sez, that won ' t be tame ; Guess I ' ll go an ' see the game, N ' see if I ken jest find out What them folks all talk erljoul Wal, I went, and what a crowd There I saw a-standing round. Giving yells and all that stuff. Seemed to me some like a l)lulT. Some wore ribbins, some had canes, An ' peered ter me some had no brains, Th ' way they jumped and danced erbout. Same as sem. girls when they ' re out, 1S2 Soon I looked around and sees Lots of fellers wearing B ' s ; And the durndest sort of clothes With a bizness on their nose ; And their hair, it seemed ter nie, Wuz longer than it need ter be. Kinder made my old face smile, Tho ' I haint no hand fer style. Pretty soon a whistle blew. I looked up, an ' golly, whew ! Down the field them fellers run, Then I knew the game ' d begun. Every feller seemed ter try. Some other feller ter git by. And the kid that got the ball Took a most all-fired fall. Then while several sat on top. The rest jest used him fur a mop. Mv ! but how the fur it flew Till agin the whistle blew. Jumpen up - y threes and pairs, They humped their backs all up like stairs, ' N ' with their heads down to the ground, I saw their fists go flyin ' ' round. Then some feller, pretty slick, Shot off a lot of ' rithmetic. ' N while they circled round about, A feller with the ball sneaked out, ' N went a tearin ' down the field With his face all skinned and pealed , ' N I saw he ' d left an ear Somewhere fur a souvenir. Another now quick blocked the way, ' N there they had a huggin ' fray. An ' same as when two trains collide, Each stopped and tumbled on his side So there they lay and couldn ' t rise, . -heaving l)ig spasmodic sighs. But soon they came ' round alright An ' jumped right in with main and might One feller seemed ter me quite cute. He ' d dance and prance an ' hug an ' root. And when the rest were in a ])ile. He to the crowd would cast a smile. An ' roll clean over all the heap. As if frum danger he would keep. He seemed ter do it purty slick An ' so I spose it was a trick. Well, that was jest the way they done, 183 They jumped and raced an ' run an ' run, And every once in a wliile or so They kick the ball ter let her know That it WHS oo ' ba beinj; played, And that foot-balls ter kick were made Whew ! but how the crowd would yell, When some foreign feller fell ! I kinder wanted ter j ' ell, too, But didn ' t know jest how ter do I allers have ter moralize, Cause morals are a bin surprise Ter people what spend all their wliile A-reading books and burnin ' ile. The game is rough, but seems ter me A little roughness needs ter be. Because, if every seat wuz smooth, No one would really need ter move. But seeing it haint, the better w ly Fur us ter do is not ter stay In one small corner all nur life, A-trying ter keep away frum strife At last, when all the game wu . thrnugh, I with the rest went humward, too. ' X now, I ' ll tell you what I ' d clo: If I wuz young agin, like you, ■I ' d jump right in ter win er bust, ' X let whatever come that must. ' N if a feller tread on me I ' d slcp all over him, ' d ' ye see? ' But since I ' m old an ' soon must die, I ' ll have ter pass the foot-ball by. But if 1 wasn ' t, i. ' (( i ' , lu ic ' W .

In fact, I always wondered What she could .see in me. All went serenely happy, I gave her flowers and l)0()ks ; The candy and my calling Increased her beaming looks. O Fate I but thou art cruel !

The treet band will attract acrowfl, Imt symphony concerts continue to be well patronized. Noisy claims for recognition have no permanent effect on bicycle buyers, as the evidence must be heard before the money is paid. We claim nothing that the record will not snbstantiate. The Cleveland Bicycle is to-day accepted a-; the world ' s Standard for Excellence. Do You ask Why ? Then listen— The Cleveland was the first bicycle of standard type to be built and marketed in America. That it has always been a good bicycle is best shown by the growth of our business. We to-day own and operate four factories male ing nothing but Cleveland Bicycles, with an output and acreage of floor space greater than any other exclusive bicycle factoiy in the world. The Cleveland is the onlv bicvcle embodying such exclusive feat- ures as Burwell Ball a nd Roller Beariiigs. Bunvell detachable tires and Cleveland hardened block and pin chain. ei LEVELAND Bicycles The Burwell Ball and Roller Bearing saves the rider; it runs easier and is thoroughly dust proof. Its life is ten times greater than the iK-st ordinary bearing as has been shown by severest tests. The Burwell detachable tire is easier to repair when punctured (von can do it yourself i. more resilient and dependable than any o ' ther. The Cleveland hardened block and pin chain will stand more usage aiid show less wear than any other chain or combi- nation of gears on the market. When used with our gear case it gives the maximum of safety and convenience with a niiniinnm loss of power. The Cleveland has led the reformation in bicycle construction. A 5 few years ago we astonished the world by producing a safe and durable mount at 40 lbs , when all others weighed 60 lbs and over We are to-day manufacturing bicycles at 21 lbs., weight for ladies and gentleinen— the lightest bicycles made for roail use 5 The Evidence summed up shows that ours is the only bicycle on the 5 99 market embiidyiug new and valuable improvements Cleve- 5 land bicvcles are ' handle I by the best trade the world over. 5 Prices from $35-00 ti) $75 00 Send for catalogue.
