Glance at any Senior History of the past and you will see that each Senior Class claimed to be the bright- est, best and strongest, intellectually and physically, that ever left the classic halls of learn- ingf, But We do not claim this distinction. Facts are indisputable, and as We leave these associations of the past four years, we have some things to regret. 'Twere better had many things been left undone, at least let us leave them unsaid. As the time draws near for departure, we feel sorry to leave, but, on the whole, we are glad that our preparatory work 'MP 9 K.

In athletic sports we have always been hampered by lack of numbers, but rarely, if ever, would you find a class whose sand', has displayed itself to such a degree. On the track, diamond, gridiron, in scraps and rushes, our sand has told, and although we have succumbed to numbers, yet we have always fought a good light. In matrimonial ventures our class is apparently a unit, although we have lost one man, to whose enraptured eyes charms of the gentler sex were irresistible. One has had the courage to declare openly his intentions, some are has beens and others are seeking 'fto be. As a class we have always commanded the respect of our contemporaries. Under our leadership athletic sports have received a new impetus, and the Echo has again secured a recognized place among college publications. As we have said, we have much to regret, we have more to be pleased at. We feel that our temporary failures have in many respects proven a blessing, that our successes will spur us on to renewed effort in the future.

For what girl, what college girl, hath' attained perfection ? But even as we ask the question, forth from the echoing caverns of the Past, whither the college years have gone with hurrying feet, comes the answer, ' borne to us by the breezes of praise, ,Q7 girls. Perhaps in some cases there is less need of modesty than in others. In our four years here at Colby, we girls of ,Q7 have done much as all other Colby girls have done. We have worked and we have played, and all our days, our work-days and our play-days, have been very, very happy ones. We were meek and docile Freshmen, obeyed the Sophomores and did the bidding of upper-class girls as all well-conducted Freshmen should. To be sure, we did have our Peanut Drunk during that Freshman year, and that was in a Sophomore's room, The wrath of the powers that were came down on our defenseless heads for some of the deeds that were done that night, but those are things of which no loyal JQ7 girl will tell you. We also ducked a lawn-party of Sophomore boys and girls from the windows of Ladies, Hall once in our Freshman spring, but it was a clandestine lawn party, and they deserved it. VVe continued as we had begun. As Sophomores we did our best to train up in the way they should go, the amiable Freshmen committed to our care. Ask them if we didnlt ! Our junior year was very gay and full of all manner of good times, with now and then a touch of some- thing deeper and more lasting. This was, perhaps, our happiest year, and it passed the most swiftly of them all. Almost before we knew it, we were back in the old places as Seniors. Here we have found the truth of that old saying, Be good and you will be happy, but you won't have half as much fun. We have been good, better than any year before. Our Senior year shows a record of hard, faithful work, such as we may well be proud to look back upon. We have been happy, too, but truly we have not had half as much fun as we used to have. No, we have been sedate and quiet and have set a most excellent example, one that the lower classes, alas, do not seem much inclined to follow. VVe have gone to few sociables, to fewer receptions, to very few lectures and exhibitions, and as for the Messalonskee, it is forgotten land to most of us. We have stayed at home and studied. Can it be that we girls are really what a heartless Junior recently called us, grass widows ? Be that as it may, we are fifteen happy, joyous girls, and we are ready, now to go out from our Alma Mater, to fill whatever places may be waiting in the world for us. The mistakes that we have made-and they have been all too many-let those who come after us avoid, and what little of good there has been in our acts, let them strive to copy. However others may regard it, '97 will always be to us fifteen girls the symbol of four hard but happy years, and the bond which shall bind us closer than aught else. . . 29 Mass nf ,98. 3' 3' ' - TBQBII.

We feel, with Artemus Ward's bhakeresses, that this is indeed too, too much, and on account of this much- ness we, too, are inclined to abandon the task as hopeless. But posterity imploringly calls to us, and we cannot bear to disappoint such a cry. As Freshmen, the largest class that ever entered these classic halls, we were undoubtedly a huge success. Not even the doughty Sophomores with their bold-faced braggadocio could intimidate us, although it was only after re- peated lessons that they finally learned that we really did possess what we claimed to possess-viz: the campus, the whole campus, and all things with the campus. This claim we have never yet relinquished and is now an un- disputed possession of ours. Our career as Sophomores opened auspiciously on Bloody Monday night, several of the Freshmen being so elated at the event as to join in the celebration. QWe are reminded, by the way, that the skirt-dancing of the evening was particularly meritoriousj We endeavored, throughout the year, to do our duty as the Lord High Stewards of His Majesty fb X. That our immediate successors appreciated our efforts in this line, was evident from the marked improvement shown by all, certain members of this heterogeneous conglomeration adapting themselves especially to our careful and thorough treatment-the treatment being: first, one dose Veffbzem Sap Qwhich means a word to the were is suflicientj, followed by liberal ablutions of cold water, applied externally, and in extreme cases applications of shoe-blacking salve, with midnight walks. THE WAR CRY was, of course, editorially assumed by us, and, from the illuminated frontispiece, to the half-tone photograph on the last page, it was a noteworthy edition. In every detail our journalism was conducted on the principle, Tell the truth, let the chips fall where they may g also Sie Semper Tym1em's. This line of procedure, of course, assured the success of the edition, although many thought we were mean, you know! Almost imperceptibly we passed the half-way mark of our college course, and in our most graceful manner soon acquired those dignities and qualities which have, from time immemorial, characterized the Junior. We have relished the task that was marked out for us, and, with assidious care, we have succeeded in laying out Chemistry and its elder brother mummy Physiology, cold and stiff, in their respective sarcophagi. The Deutsche Sprache has been handled without gloves, and in all departments we have made ourselves an indispensable quantity to Colby. We must lay down our pen, but we wish those who hereafter peruse this memorial to remember that ,QS zlv, has been, and will ever be a true hustler for Colby and her interests. . 31 Elms nf 398. ii' QIDDIIIBII.

Nearly three-fourths of the way up the hill sixteen girls were toiling, now laughing merrily, now silent, as if in despair. In the distance below, another band of girls was seen, and at the foot, still another, but they were so far away that they looked like mere specks. At the gate of the castle a fourth company of maidens was about to enter. The sixteen maidens looked up at them with admiration, but did not quicken their pace, a few even cast envious glances behind at the travellers below. The maidens were walking with a lighter step than formerly, for they had, just before, left part of the load which they carried. It made a huge pile beside the path-thirty-two large chemistry-books, scissors and innumerable bottles of mucilage. Take one, a placard read, seductively. But not for long were they to walk burdenless. Suddenly a skeleton appeared in their path, waved its long, bony arms, and from a large black box drew out sixteen small, green volumes labelled Huxley, presented them, and walked away, followed by thirty-two misty eyes. The path now became very steep, and the maidens were all the time stumbling over skulls which lay in their way, but, presently, the road became beautiful again, and they gayly marched on, singing German songs. Some few of the maidens were every now and then turning their heads to look eagerly across to another hill running parallel to their own. Up this hill their brothers were travelling, and not unfrequently black figures could he seen stealing across the valley to walk awhile with the maidens, some foundthe path so easy that, like theaLotus-eaters, they forgot the way back. They now passed a sign which read, ff junior Ease. The maidens looked back along the way which they had lately come, then their gaze travelled forward so far as the eye could see, they looked at one another doubtfuliy, shook their heads and said, Whe1'e is it ? The wind sighed through the branches, there was no answer, so they plodded on. .J 33 igisturg. i Qllaws nf 599. ' Y 5' iilibzu. CLASS YELL z-'Rah! 'Rahl 'Rah! 'Rah!

Vile have done something for the College, and it has done much for us. We have been progressive, not digressive. On the campus, in the athletic field, and in the class-room, we have shown ourselves gentlemen, athletes, and scholars. Indeed, by many we are considered a model class. The Fresh- man reception, at which several members of the present Junior class were found without the wedding ' garments on, and were consequently beaten and thrust out on the piazza, where there was weeping and wailing and snatching out teeth 3 the banquet at Hager's, and the dispersion of the mob at South Collegeg the exit to Skowhegan, and the review of her police force, are the three marked events of our Freshman year. The Sophomore year brought with it new joys. Mindful of our past experi- ence, we laid aside the old dogma, 'f an eye for an eye, and received the Freshman class with a fatherly spirit, which we shall continue to exercise toward it so long as necessity demands. It was especially fitting that the last class of the century should come at a time when great reforms' were needed. Bloody Monday night has been abolished, and for the present the cane-rush has been placed under the ban. In the college curriculum we have mown large swaths. The love songs of Horace, the ghost stories of Pliny, the philosophy of Socrates, the sophistry of Lysias, the good English of Genung, have all been consigned to literary graves. Rest, rest, perturbed spirits! But that which will forever distinguish ,QQ from her brother classes is, that with her came our honored President, Dr. Butler. Thus we close the record of two years, and trust that the past shall be to us an incentive to greater activity and larger usefulness. la-My x 35 Qllamff nf '99 9 in QIQLTIIIBII.

On our first appearance at chapel we found that Prex had given us the seats farthest from the door, for he knew that we were younger and stronger than our older sisters and more able to walk. He greeted us very cordially on that first morning, but it frightened us a little to see so many of his brethren about him. However, our terror soon fled when we were told that it was merely an accident, and something that was not likely to happen again. I Our older sisters were anxious to meet us, and gave us many a reception. We noticed that some of them preferred meeting our older brothers to meeting us, but we did not care, for there were many more sisters- and brothers too. Our nearest sister, the girls of '99, gave us a party Halloween, and played all manner of tricks to show us her superior knowledge and power, but she did not frighten us. We liked it. She tried to beat us in a game of basket-ball, too, but she did not. So she was angry until Prex calmed her by saying that it should be most pleasing to the older members of the family to see the baby winning laurels. . When we saw the rest of the girls out walking and riding with their brothers and receiving calls from them, we felt jealous and wanted to know some too, especially our twin. So we gave them parties and met all but a few of the bashful ones. Some of the girls liked one boy better than the rest, but we can't see why. We sincerely hope that nothing-not even a boy-will enter to break the strong bond that fastens us together. Our older brothers we do not feel much acquainted with as yet. They ought to know us, however, for several times they have asked Prex to send us out of chapel Erst, and they sit there and look at us. But we hope some day to know them too.

Of Q 4 no one of them can she be more PNAQSI-5E proud than of Dr. Mathews. Born 9 1 in warervi1ie,Maine, July 28, isis, ' 'he entered the College in 1831 at pf the age of thirteen, graduating when a lad of only seventeen years. graduation he studied law, alter- nately with Timothy Boutelle of Waterville and at the Harvard Law School, and was admitted to the Kennebec bar in 1838. Giving two years to travel began the practice of he was predestinated to make sure this his a literary and family which was enlarged Immediately on and to teaching in Virginia, he law in Waterville in 1840. But for a literary career, and began calling by establishing, in 1841, newspaper, T he Wrzz'e1'w'!!o1zz'fz1z, the next year and the name changed to The Yankee Blade. This soon engrossed all his time, and was removed in 1843 to Gardiner, Me., and in 1847 to Boston, Mass. The paper grew rapidly in popularity under the management of editor Mathews, who asso- ciated with himself many brilliant contributors, but 9 9 103 in 1855 it was sold to Col. Sleeper, of the 13051011 flf6'7'CfZlZZ'Z,!Ef0IL7'lZHL who united it with his own paper, The Poffzyfolio. In 1856 he removed to Chicago, Ill., where he remained until 1880, nearly twenty-five years. The iirst three of these years he was con- nected .with the Daily and Weekly Press, of that city, as editor and writer, the next three C1859-'62j was librarian of the Young Men's Association, the next thirteen C1862-'75j nlled with distinction the chair of Rhetoric and English Literature in the Uni- versity of Chicago, and for the remaining years gave himself to the congenial work of authorship. VVhile in the Professor's chair he published two books, the first, Getting on in the World, in 1872. Its sale, moderate at First, soon increased rapidly, and has now reached about 70,000 copies. One Canadian and three London houses have issued editions of it, while there have been made three translations into Swed- ish and one into the Magyar language. l-Iis second book was The Great Conversers of the World 08745, revised and greatly enlarged in 1884, of which 24,000 copies have been sold. There followed in 1877 Hours with Men and Books, in the same year Monday Chats, a translation from Sainte- Beuvc, with an elaborate introductory essay on his life and writings, and in 1879, .Orators and Ora- tory, of which two reprints were issued in London. In 1880 Dr. Mathews returned to Boston, Mass., and, as he says of himself, quoting a phrase of the Auto- crat, 'flet his anchor fall where the pennons flew. His publications since then have been Literary Style and Other Essays CI88IDj Men, Places and Things 08885, and Nugae Litterariaen CISQGD. He has now ready for the press a volume of ff Essays, Biographical and Critical, and has begun a work which he has long had in contemplation on a favorite theme- The Choice and Use of Books. During the last winter he has been writing a series of critical and bibliographical introductions to the novels and romances of Bulwer, for an elegant new edition in forty volumes which Messrs, Little 8: Brown are now publishing. He has also delivered many lectures on historical and literary subjects before literary socie- ties, colleges, and other institutions. In this valuable service Colby University has richly shared. He has also been an abundant contributor to theforemost magazines and newspapers and to 'fAppleton's Cyclo- pedia of Biography. Since 1871 Dr. Mathews has visited Europe five times, the longest visit being two years, I88I-783. Colby recognized the honor which he had be- 104 stowed on her by conferring upon him the degree of LL.D. in 1868. She loves to welcome him home to her iireside, whether at her anniversaries with the other children, or in term-time or vacation. He always has the freedom of all her domain. He loves to come home. He is full of enthusiasm for his mother. No student in college is in feeling younger than he. We all love to hear him, with eloquent voice and more eloquent eye and face, tell of the good old times and eulogize the better new times. Keen and clear of intellect, universal in his sympathies, omniverous yet discriminating in his reading, of prodigious memory Qapparently unable to forget any- thingj, energetic, tirelessly industrious, wisely eco- nomical of time, always pressing to achieve an end, easily identifying himself with other men of all ages and races, appropriating whatever is purest and best in all literature and lives, never failing to credit every man with that which he adopts from him, affable, social, graciously helpful, he is still pouring out in authorship, as for three score years he has been pour- ing out, those treasures of wit and wisdom that have enriched hundreds of thousands of lives and will con- tinue to enrich the generations to come. Colby,.the mother, with all her living children, assures him of her admiration and of her prayer that, as heretofore, so for many coming years, he may grow, not old, but young, with unfailing powers of achievement and en- joyment. wnlhgg in Hp: Qffgiriiw. N 1831, when I entered Waterville College, there were but two college buildings on the campus-North College, now Chaplin Hall, and South College. Of the former the north division was unfinished, but was completed soon afterward. The President's house was some rods south of the South College. The college prayers and the declamations were held in rooms I and 3 in the South College, now the reading-room. The com- mons was in the basement of the North College, after a new building for it had been erected, the basement was used as a chapel and for exercises in elocution. College education was then cheap. Tuition and room-rent were low, and board could be had in com- mons for 51.00 a week, and in private houses for ,E 1.50. The number of undergraduates was small, probably averaging about 60 during the four years of my col- lege life. In the General Catalogue only 120 gradu- ates are recorded in the decade 1830-1840. There 5' 9 1o5 was also a small number of Partial Course students. Cwing mainly to poverty, classes dwindled sadly dur- ing the fours years' course. Of the 24 Freshmen in my class only I4 became U grave and reverend Seniors and received diplomas. Of the class of 1837, at one time numbering 39 members, all but 3 left the college before graduation-day. Many went to Union, Dartmouth, and other colleges. The reason of this stampede was an intense hostility to college honors- the distinction in rank for scholarship noted on the Commencement programme. Strenuous petitions for the abolition of the practice, bristling with argu- ments against it prepared by committees of the ablest men in the classes, and signed by the latter unanimously, had been sent year after year to the Faculty of the College, who refused to- make a change. Probably at no time in the thirties was there a deeper indignation felt by the students against what they deemed a grievance. The requirements for admission to the college were exceedingly moderate. When, at the age of thirteen, I was examined for that purpose with four others by Tutor Chaplin, we were required simply to translate eight or ten lines in each of the following works, viz., Virgil, Cicero's Orations, Sallust and the Greek Reader, after upsetting which, as the Ger- mans say, into bad English, we were told, to the astonishment of two of us, at least, who had floun- dered desperately all the way through, that our exam- ination was satisfactory, Young as I was, I had been prepared for examination for a year, and jere- miah Chaplin, the President's son 08285 was actually graduated at the age of fifteen. The Faculty from 1830 to 1840 comprised at no time more than seven members g in my day but five. The consequence was that, like the chest in Goldsmithls village inn, Contrived a double debt to pay, A bed by night, a chest of drawers by dayf' each professor had to do other work besides that of his own chair. Wheii I think of the amount and quality of the work these seven men achieved, with the meagre equipment of books, cabinets, and appa- ratus, I am filled with surprise, and feel like exclaim- ing, in the spirit of the Roman's epigram concerning the three hundred Spartans at Thermopylw, Ahm- gzzrzm wkiz' plzzrem sepfem! The three Presidents during the thirties were Jeremiah Chaplin, D.D., Rufus Babcock, D.D., and Robert Everett Pattison, D.D. Shall I ever forget the first and most venera- ble of these, the fine classical scholar, the stout Cal- vinistic theologian and self-sacriiicing man, who for 106 over twelve years put his whole life into the college? In person he was tall, lean, and angular, inclined to stooping, and, except that he had a dark eye of more than usual brilliancy, not striking in his physiognomy. College government was then more rigid than now. Manners were stiffer, there was more of' petty regu- lation and surveillance, and a joke from the lips of the Doctor or one of his associates would have startled us like one on a gravestone or in a ledger. Dr. Chaplin, kindly though he was at heart, was, even for those days, a severe disciplinarian and a stout stickler for etiquette, who wielded the sceptre of au- thority with a firm, unwavering hand., He believed in the strictest enforcement of the rules and regula- tions of the college, of which every student was fur- nished with a printed copy, and which the boys, in illusion to their character and the blue cover in which they were enclosed, called 'fthe Blue Laws. Shall I ever cease to venerate the good Doctor's virtues, albeit when I, a shy, short-jacketed Fresh- man, followed him out of the chapel one Saturday evening to the South College doorsteps, and trem- blingly told him that my parents wished me to be excused from attending prayers on Sundays, he main- tained an icy silence, till, half-frightened out of my wits, and wondering what fzzzzxjms I had committed, I stammered out the request a second and even a third time, when he abruptly pulled off his hat? Too dull or verdant to interpret this act, I stood shivering with misgivings, when at ,last he said to me in a magisterial tone: Take offyour hat, sir, if you please ! In the summer of 1833, in consequence of a dis- agreement in the Faculty about a matter of disci- pline, the President, his son, Professor Chaplin, and his son-in-law, Professor Conant, indignantly resigned their chairs. On the Fourth of July the students had celebrated the declaration of American independence by a dinner and speeches in the college boarding- house. The toasts were drunk in cold water, but there was no lack of fire in the responses, which were greeted with such shouts as only college boys' throats can raise. After the speeches we all marched with our Ten Lots band to the President's man- sion, and serenaded him for some ten minutes or more. This patriotic and altogether creditable out- burst of Americanism greatly displeased the head of the college, and the next morning, after the chapel exercises, the grave Doctor gave us all a sharp repri- mand. Of all his caustic criticisms of our celebra- tion, I can remember only one classic sentence, viz., that a stranger, hearing our shouts, would have fan- cied that they were not the cries of civilized beings, but the howls of Indians, or the bffayifzgs Mjkzck- fzssesf' As one half of the Faculty disapproved of this censure, and opposed any punishment of the boys, the President, his son, and his son-in-law, sent their resignations to the Trustees of the college, which were accepted. ' ' The resignation of Thomas J, Conant, Professor of 107 Greek, and who also taught us German, was a dam- 7ZZl77Z pffope medzzllis to our Alma Mater. Shall I ever forget that pale, nervous, scholarly Vermonter- Runkenf' we called him, in reference to his favorite classical authority-afterward professor at lVIadison and Rochester Universities for over twenty years, and who, confessedly one of the first I-Iebraists of his day, devoted the remainder of his life of some ninety years to improved versions, with critical introductions and notes, of the books of the Old Testament? Of the kindly Professor Calvin Newton, can I ever cease to have a lively remembrance-he who, com- paratively al giant in his own proper department, lVIathemat-ics, was in Rhetoric and Elocution, which he had also to teach, a dwarf, who asked me one day at declamation, after I had rung the changes on the same piece for two years, whetherI had not pretty nearly exhausted its elocutionary possibilities, and had not better try another? It was he who, in ex- pounding Blair or Campbell, gravely told us one day that, in translating Homer, Pope would have greatly improved one of the lines on the labors of Sisyphus, in which he makes use of apt alliteration's artful aid, if, instead of Up the high hill he heaves a huge mmm' stonef' the poet had written- Up the high hill he heaves a huge hard stone ! Above all my other college teachers looms up most vividly in my memory the face and figure of the be- loved George Washington Keely, Professor of Math- ematics and Natural Philosophy, with his encyclo- pxdic culture and high thoughts seated in a heart of courtesy, whose subtle, discursive mind was at home alike in science, metaphysical speculation, his- tory and literature. Many and amusing were the anecdotes told in the days of lang syne illustrating the professor's breadth and accuracy of culture, such as his correction of the careful Professor Loomis's classihcation of a shell which had greatly puzzled him, and, again, the suddenness with which Professor Keely once took the conceit out a young man pos- sessed of a musical devil, who unchained his demon in the former's parlor. After haranguing on Mozart, Beethoven, Martini, Rossini, Cherubini and others that end in im, and again, upon Albrechtsberger and others whose names to pronounce were to dislocate one's jaws, but to hear whose music were to be rapt in Elysium, the amateur was quite confounded by find- ing the Professor, who had been a line flutist in his youth, perfectly at home on the subject, going in reply far beyond his own depth in musical lore, abounding in anecdotes of the great composers, and showing an actually critical knowledge of their works. An excellent scholar, but the shyest man I ever knew, was john O'Brien Chaplin, for two years Tutor in Latin, two years Professor of Latin and 108 Greek. Puer Ascanius the boys called him, but he was a very different Ascanius from the one of whom Virgil says, that in hunting 'he tires of small game, and Optat aprum aut fulvum descendere monte leonemf' In the ,class-room he rarely raised his eyes from the text-book, or looked a pupil in the face, and out-of- doors he had the air and manner of a certain acquain- tance of Robert I-Iall's, whom the great preacher characterized as going about with an air of perpetual apology for the presumption of being in the World. My limits in space forbid my speaking at length, as I would like, of Phinehas Barnes, Bowdoin's son, Pro- fessor of Greek and Latin in the years 1834-1839. He was a schoolmate of the Autocrat', at Phillips Academy, Andover, and in the latest biography of the latter there are many letters addressed by the wit and poet to his early friend. It was my privilege, while reading law with Hon. Timothy Boutelle, to be instructed in Quintilian by Professor Barnes at his house. There was but one college lecturer in my day, Ezekiel Holmes, M.D., and he with a scanty equip- ment, and as dry as the bones in the ancient Ezekiel's vision, or the remainder biscuit aftera voyage. His subjects were Chemistry, Mineralogy, Geology, and Botany. I-low I hated the first of these sciences, so fascinating in itself, expounded as it was in the most crabbed of text-books, and by a prosaic lecturer with hardly a spark of humor or even a reiofff ! Dr. Chaplin was succeeded in 1833 as President by Rufus Babcock, DD., a pleasant, fine looking gentle- man, and eloquent public speaker, but not a close thinker nor an accomplished scholar. During his ad- ministration Champlin Hall was built. He was suc- ceeded by Robert Everett Pattison, D.D., who had been Professor of Mathematics in 1828-9,-a man of acute and positive, if not very broad, mind, who was an adept in the subtle speculations of metaphysics, in the hair- splittings of casuistry, and in the facts and reasonings by which the divine authority of the Scriptures is maintained. As a preacher he was earnest, search- ing, and impressive. When in 1838 he was instruct- ing the Seniors in the Evidences of Christianity, he was often surprised and occasionally staggered by acute, subtle questions and objections propounded by Ben. Butler, a member of the class. Suspecting that these skeptical doubts and queries did not originate in his pupil's brain, but were cribbed from some iniidel work, the President sent for Ben's Christian chum, and asked him confidentially if such was not ther fact. Yes, sir, it is, was the reply. 'fThe book is Tay- lor's Dz'ege.vz's qf Ike 1Vew'Tesz'4zme1zl. Thereupon Dr. Pattison, as he himself told me years afterward, incontinently took the stage for Boston, bought the work at Burnham's Antique Bokestore in Cornhill, studied it in the crazy coach all the way back during his three days' journey to Waterville, and thenceforth IO9 anticipated and had ready his answers to Ben's tough questions before they were put. I knew Ben well. He was fond of debate, and in the discussions of the Literary Fraternity always espoused the unpopular side of a question. Gross in body as he afterward became, he was then a mere dagger-of-lath, and at graduation weighed but ninety-eight pounds. 4 I regret that my limits prevent me from doing justice to-other able teachers in the thirties, my esteemed classmate, William Lamson, afterward the fervent preacher and polished writer, Danford Thomas, Samuel F. Smith, the author of America, jonathan E. Farnum, and Justin R. Loomis, the mod- est, solid, and clear-headed Professor of Chemistry and Natural History, whose damning testimony at a capital trial in 1848 as an expert in the former science George Evans, lVlaine's great lawyer, vainly tried to shake. In my day the College Library had few books, and few of those were attractive in looks or contents. In 1831 it comprised probably not more than 1,3oo or 1,400 volumes. P A year or two later, the Rev. john O. Choules, of New Bedford, Mass., an Englishman by birth, visited his native land, and obtained for the library by solicitation a thousand or more volumes, but the books, given chiefly by clergymen and pub- lishers of religious works, were largely dry, crabbed theological publications at cei., and added little to the meagre stock of historical, literary and scientific works on the shelves. Who, in that day of small things, could have dreamed that sixty years later, mainly through the indefatigable efforts of that born librarian, Professor Edward W. Hall, the shelves would groan under the weight of more than 32,000 volumes, including costly encyclopzedias and illus- trated works, besides 10,000 pamphlets? I remember that when, in the unsophisticated innocence of my Freshman year, I plunged into Plutarch's Lives, and the Wars of the French Revolution, the boys all laughed at me, and I incontinently exchanged these instructive works for Irving's Tales of a Trav- eler and Scott's Talisman There were no secret societies in those days, but there were two flourishing literary societies, the Lit- erary Fraternity and the Erosophian Adelphi. Both had small libraries, which many years ago were con- solidated with that of the college. One of the most delightful parts of my college life was the Wednesday evening passed at the session of the Fraternity. At these meetings original essays and dissertations were read in turn by the members, and discussions of grave questions were held-exercises which were of signal service to the participants in training them for writing and public speaking. Not only was the thinking faculty taxed and stimulated in these intel- lectual duels and battles, but a command of language was obtained, a skill in thrust and parry, a quickness in detecting fallacies, a fertility of mental resource, and an ease of manner, a self-possession and freedom from stage-fright, which all together could hardly IIO have been acquired so well and so early in any other way. As our society libraries were built up by a tax on our own purses-purses nearly all imponderable, flaccid, and which would not fling against the wind, - the books were fresher and more attractive, and more eagerly sought for, than the musty tomes of the col- lege. There was no gymnasium, no base or football, no rowing in those days. Walking, chopping or sawing one's own wood, and swimming in the Kennebec, were our only modes of exercise. Possibly a dumb- bell or two might have been used, but we preferred the belles which could respond. We were not scared at the proposal of a twenty-mile walk, we were, as James T. Fields's colored neighbor termed him one day when he was taking his ff constitutional, ff mighty predestinariansf' To avoid losing the first recitation of the year, after my admission to the college, I walked in August, 1831, from Augusta to Waterville, 11irzVassalb0r0ugh, on the afternoon of the day before the term opened, without very much weariness. Bliss- fully ignorant of parallel bars, pulleys, and a' that, we enjoyed nevertheless an average health as good, I suspect, as that of to-day's pitchers, kickers, and even champion 'fsluggersf' Perhaps a reason of this was, that we lived plainly, rarely overworked, and were not distracted by a multiplicity of studies. Did my limits and the reader's patience allow, I might give an accont of the big workshop built on the campus in 1832 or 1833, and furnished with car- penters' tools, in pursuance of a Quixotic scheme to enable students, by working a few hours a day under the direction of the superintendent, Mr. Erastus Cof- fin-ominous name!-to earn money enough to pay their college hills and board. I might also compare the aims, application and moral tone of college boys of auld lang sync with those of their favored succes- sors to day 5 and, again, contrast the august and impos- ing Commencement of the Thirties with the bald anni- versary of these degenerate times. But I have taxed the reader's attention too long, and with a Perce pre- cor! I will close. 'fiw' 'J! v'v - -:w1' -!h'-'- 'W-I ,lib U f- x it Yt,LJr um fb Jragsg r A 1,3 - h -.4 .-f im-1 -1 -i ' .

To the old graduates of Waterville n- College it was a severe shock- yes, a positive wrench-to lose the If old name, for Waterville occupied a warm place in the hearts of the old graduates. However, we preferred a second marriage for our dear old mother rather than her death, and it seemed to be a choice of these evils. So, in the main, we accepted the lesser of the two evils with as much complacency as we could summon. C The Faculty in those days were few in number. I find myself unable to count up more than half a dozen teachers, all told, connected with the college, and what few professors there were, were not up in i 5' II2 modern methods of teaching. There was a definite plan of procedure, however, running through the entire institution. This plan was to assign definite lessons to the students, day by day, and then see that they either had or had not performed the task as- signed, and, in the main, woe betide the fellow who had not learned his lesson. The professors, as I recall them, were an able set of men. They were painstaking in their way and very exacting of their students. When I entered college in 1851, Dr. Sheldon was president. I remember distinctly the impression made upon me the first time I saw him. His clear complexion, intellectual features, and keen eye, indi- cated to me rare sharpness of intellect 3 and, while I knew him better and better for a great many years up to the time of his death, this impression was never removed, but constantly deepened. He was a man of remarkable logical power. His ability to analyze a subject into its elements and to perceive the signifi- cance of those elements singly and combined, has been exceeded by few, if any, men ever connected with the institution. Then, he impressed me as a thoroughly honest man,-honest morally and honest intellectually. When he had established a set of premises in his own mind, which he knew to be true, and had reasoned from these to any conclusion, he accepted the result, no matter where it landed him. The severing of his connection with the institution, partly on account of views at variance With his de- nomination, was a painful operation to him 3 and yet he was so firm in his moral convictions that he pre- ferred to leave the institution and the denomination with which he had worked for so long a time, rather than to temporize or trim in the slightest degree. I have always regarded Dr. Sheldon as a clear, strong, beautiful character. The next man who presents himself to my mind is 8 II3 Dr. Champlin. He was a financial giant. Probably he did more than any other man to save the college from financial ruin. He stood firmly by the institu- tion in its poverty and was able to interest men of means, so that the college was saved. But to me he stands out still stronger as a man of intellectual power. He was an indefatigable worker and de- manded untiring work from the students. Perhaps I can set forth this trait of his character no better than by mentioning my own personal experience with him. I recited Greek to Dr. Champlin for three years, and, whatever else happened or did not happen in the recitation, I never once failed to hear the word f'Dunton before the end of the hour, and when I came to my feet I knew that I should either stand or fall, according to my own strength or weakness. Dr. Champlin never carried students. They either went themselves or went down. He was a man of stern exterior, and yet a man of real warm and tender feelings inside. He sent for me one morning to come to his office. When I arrived he went straight at his errand by saying, Dunton, your bills remain unpaid now for the third year. The laws of the college require -here he hesitated and gained time by his peculiar method, and then added- contemplate the suspension of a student if his bills are not paid the second term. This hesitation let me out of a severe difficulty, for I read for the first time the Doctor's good heart beneath his hard head. So I said to myself, if the rules merely contemplate the suspension of a student under these circumstances, I will allow them to re- Hect for a while longer. I told him that at the com- pletion of my course I hoped to' be able to borrow the money and pay up, but I could not do it at that time, and thus, through the Doctor's good heart, I was allowed to go on without being suspended. I feel deeply indebted to Dr. Champlin for my concep- tion of the value and dignity of hard work. He set the example and led the way and demanded a close following. The next character that appears to my view is that of Dr. Smith. I think he was elected professor the day I entered college. I soon came to have a profound 114 respect for him as a thinker. Indeed, he did more to establish in my mind the habit of systematic thought and systematic arrangement of matter, and to develop power of memory, in the broadest sense of the term, than any other man with whom I ever came in con- tact. The first lesson in logical arrangement lingers distinctly in my memory. It was given in something like the following way. I-Ie had assigned to my class the preparation of some synopses for future composi- tions upon certain Shakesperian characters. We wrote out our synopses on slips of paper, laid them on the professor's desk, when we went to the recitation, and sat down to hear them criticised one after another, without the writer's name. I listened attentively until my turn came, and my interest did not cease even then. His criticism ran in about the following way: The first point is excellent, but being included in number four, should not be placed in this general synopsis. Number two is also a good point, but as it depends on number three, while it is properly num- bered two, should be placed after number three, and as number three introduces the subject, it should be numbered one. So number one should be omitted, number three should be number one, number two should be placed after number three, and number four should be number three. When his criticism was ended, it dawned on me for the first time that there was a logical arrangement of parts belonging to every subject to be considered. The lessons of that nature which I received from Dr. Smith have done more than the work of any other man in devel- oping in me what of logical and systematic power I possess to-day. I feel 'personally profoundly indebted to Dr. Smithfor the effect of his instruction. Professor Charles E. Hamlin came to the college while I was a student. His intellect was remarkably clear, and he was one of the most indefatigable work- ers that I have ever known. In fact, I recall, among all my acquaintances, but a single superior, and that was his cousin, Delwin A. Hamlin, with whom it was my privilege to work for many years, later in life. Professor Hamlin was an enthusiast in whatever he undertook to do, even in making students think and work and be enthusiastic themselves. I remember 115 distinctly to have heard him say one day, with a vehemence and fervor very unusual, HI do like to see a man enthusiastic over something! Professor Ham- lin's spirit was little less than contagious. Almost every student that came under his infiuence was made to feel that earnest, enthusiastic work was the only key to future success, and more than this, that enthusiastic work was a delightful occupation. From the three men whom I have just named,I learned the dignity of hard work, the power of sys- tematic thought and the value of zealous effort. If a man has developed in him the ability to perform earnest, systematic work continuously and with pleas- ure to himself, it seems to me that he has acquired a power that is akin to genius. There were other professors connected with the college who were men of ability, enthusiasm and character. Among these I recall Prof. Loomis, Prof. Keeley, and Dr. Patterson. Professor Loomis was a teacher of power, Prof. Keeley was a man of rare in- tellectual and social endowment to those who were brought into immediate contact with him, and Dr. Patterson was a man of positive eloquence. For some reason or other,I did not feel the power of these three men as I did the power of the three Ilirst men- tioned. As I recall the work of the old college from 1851 to 1855, while I was connected with it, my respect for the work done for me and the other students grows stronger. Those were the days for earnest, persistent, hard work. VVe were not carried over or through the subjects. The teachers told us what to earn, gave us the books that discussed the matter, and held us responsible for the results. If we chose to commit the texts to memory without comprehend- ing what they meant, and to do this work with suf- ficient thoroughness so that we could be fluent on our feet, we could get on, but the students who did that- without a thorough comprehension of the subject in hand were very few. The result of this was the de- velopment of power of independent thinking. Of course modern methods of teaching are superior to those in existence at that time, and yet, as Irecall the persistent effort that was reduired of the students in those days, I see clearly the means for the develop- ment of exact scholarship, and that strength of char- acter which is so essential to success in the world. While I am delighted with all the improvements that the college has made since it became a university, I must say that as the years go on my respect and rev- erence for the old college continually broadens and deepens. II Qnlhg in tips Elihlilililii. N article with the same title as this ri, af if-Q was to have been written by an alum- ifa 2 nus, but for some reason or other the Sift the present editor has culled a few things from the editor has failed to get it. To avoid a break in this succession of articles 1 upon the Colby of different periods ORACLES of '72, '74 and '75, and presents them to the readers of the '97 ORACLE with the hope that they may be of interest, though not from the pen of a Colby man of that time. It was in the latter part of the sixties and the first part of the seventies that the working plant and resources of the College were maerially increased by the munificence of Gardner Colby, Abner Coburn, and others. The-College thus received a new lease of life, and the interest shown by all of Colby's friends in her welfare augured well for her future. To the graduate returning to the grounds in 1872 several marked changes from the 3' 51 II7 old regime presented themselves. What was once the old chapel became at that time as it is at the present, Recitation Hall. The old recitation rooms, so long the breeding places of colds and diseases, were among the things of the past. The entire building under- went a complete renovation. It was divided into three floors. The first and second floors were divided into four rooms respectively. The third floor fur- nished apartments for the professor in mathematics and for class exercises in elocution. ff They won- dered then how they had ever endured those under- ground cells, which had been formerly called recita- tion rooms. The old bell, which had so often toiled forth its well-understood summons from the chapel, for the first time greeted the ear from South College. The building now known as Coburn Hall was at that time in process of erection. Concerning coeducation the editors of the '72 ORACLE said : 'fThe grand problem which is now agitating many colleges, has been solved, as far as Colby is concerned, without a struggle. Shall young ladies be admitted to our colleges on the same terms as young men or shall they not? has been the question. The voice of Colby at the last meeting of the Trustees was, 'They shall.' This was an unexpected movement. Long agitation must generally precede any step of that kind, and such we naturally looked for in this case. Yet, speaking for the students, we think that the majority looked upon the move with favor. Some, however, were opposed to it. . Should the writer speak for himself he would look upon it as a real advance in the right direction. The opponents of it really present no good reason why the young ladies should not compete with the young men in conjugating Greek verbs and investigating the laws of motion and the properties of the Cycloid, if they wish to. It may be, however, that bashful undergraduates are looking forward to future Commencement dinners when they strenuously oppose this movement. However we may ffegmfd the admission of young ladies to the privileges of the institution, it still remains a fact that they are admitted, and all can do nothing better than accept the 'situation' To the coming young lady students of Colby we would say with a literary man of note, fwe greet youf If in 118 the competition between the students, the young ladies obtain more than their fair share of honors, all the comfort we can offer to the young gentlemen is the old and somewhat hackneyed phrase, 'So much the worse for you.' One young woman has entered in the class of '75 and we hope to see more soon. The prospects have grown better and better and should conditions continue as they are, the time is not far off when it will be more nearly accurate to speak of alumnae rather than alumni of Colby. The hand of change was also placed upon North College. The old dormitories were entirely remodeled and steam took the place of stove and fireplace. The marble statue of the Lion of Lucerne was placed in Memorial Hall at this time, as a tribute to Colby's sons who fell in battle. In an editorial of the '75 ORACLE appeared these words, There has been a change not only in the course of study but also in the method of teaching in some departments. The importance of committing ideas and not words is rapidly gaining ground. The mere 'Parrot' will soon cease to stand at the head of the class, although he may obtain the highest rank. The editor has often heard old graduates tell of the pages of Rhetoric or of dry Philosophy that students were expected literally to commit to memory, and hewonders if these studies under the more mod- ern ways of instruction would be called grinds, if Colby boys of to-day had to learn them in the old way. With the change in the course of study came also a change in the method of examinations. Up to that time most of the examinations had been oral, But written ones were substituted and this change has continued to the present time. This change was evidently not very acceptable, 'fforuit seems to the students as though one day ought to be of sufficient length in which to examine a class in one term's work. In 1873 Dr. Champlin, who had so successfully managed the affairs of the institution, and so accept- ably acted as President for sixteen years, retired from office. Dr. Robins, of Rochester, N. Y., became his successor, Prof. Elder succeeded Prof. Hamlin, who went to Cambridge, Prof. Hall assumed the duties of librarian in addition to those of modern languages, and Julian D. Taylor, formerly known as Tutor Taylor, became Prof. Taylor. In 1877 the faculty numbered 8, the students 102. In a recent number of the Ecko appeared an article by J. I-I. Files, '77, entitled Reminiscences of '77. Mr. Files has given us such an excellent account of certain phases of college life in the seventies that I yield to the temptation of borrowing from his article : II Elective studies had not been introduced. Phys- ical training was not required, and consequently prac- tice in the gymnasium was irregular. The students had organized a military company called the Colby Rifles, which drilled regularly and with benefit. This company was Hourishing in 1877, but from some cause interest died out afterward and the guns were re- turned to the State. The nrst captain was A. W. Small of '76, afterward President Small and now a professor in Chicago University, and the second was W. H. Looney of '77, now a Well-known Portland lawyer. There was much interest in baseball, but football, as it is now played, was practically unknown. An attempt had been made to arouse interest in boat- ing. Clubs were formed, a boat house was built on the Messalonskee near the railroad bridge, and boats were procured 5 but the fever soon subsided, and what became of the property I never knew. The college yell had not been invented, or at least the fashion had not got around to us. I ff When the class of '77 entered, there were two de- bating societies, the Literary Fraternity and the Erosophian Adelphi, each with a good hall in South College and a considerable library. These, however, gradually declined, the secret societies probably being a factor of the decline. The Erosophian finally dis- banded and turned its books over to the college library, and the Fraternity has since followed suit, I think. There were but two secret societies, the Dekes and Zeta Psis, while now there are more than twice as many. The student of '77 lacked many of the physical comforts and conveniences possessed by the student of '97, For water he depended upon a well in the rear of the dormitory, whence he would labori- ously pump liquid not of the highest quality. The electric light, as well as the trolley car and the tele- phone, had not come into use. Not even kerosene street lamps were provided by the town, and after dark one had to find his way about the town and campus by moonlight or starlight or intuition. The only bicycle in the place, I believe, was an old-fash- ioned bone-shaker owned by an eccentric member of '77, who was wont to ride his velocipede at midnight down to the town hall and back. Commencements came thelast of july, and the long vacation in winter, when many students ekcd out their means by teach- ing district schools. There were pranks in those days, of course, but very little hazing was practised. The class of '77 per- sisted in wearing tall hats in the Freshman year, de- spite Sophomoric objection. The result was the loss of a number of hats and a warof retaliation, in which I2O the Freshmen triumphed from force of numbers. But eternal vigilance was the price of hats, and they were carried into the class-room and guarded day and night. In the Sophomore year '77 introduced the cremation of mathematics with elaborate ceremonies. It so happened that the class of '78 had planned some sort of a celebration for the same date. Incensed at the interference, '78, which was numerically superior, plotted revenge. They lay in wait with horns and drowned the music of the band, and when the funeral procession returned from a march through the town it found its pyre, which had been erected with much labor, prematurely burned. This was the only time that a certain member of '77, since a foreign mis- sionary, was heard to use a big, big D. But such was the provocation that I believe the recording angel blotted out the word. Two of the class of '76, one of whom afterward became the president of the univer- sity, had been commissioned to guard the pyre, while the procession was down town that night, but it ap- peared that they must have been negligent. ff At one time the rope of the college bell 5 at another hymn books and chapel desk-same which recently took a swim down the river-were found by Sam in the cellar and returned before the morning exercises. Prankish students had then, as now, to get up very early indeed to get ahead of Sam. Once a sick bear that had been left behind by a travelling menagerie to recruit in the country several miles out, was found on the campus on a morning with its cage covered with appropriate signs. In closing, let me say that in the ORACLE, as along most other lines, twenty-five years have seen great improvements. The ORACLE of 1872 was a paper pamphlet of 32 pages, I2 of which were devoted to literary matter, and the remaining pages to the differ- ent college organizations. The ORACLE of 1897 is a cloth-bound book of nearly 200 pages. Certainly, an ominous fact as to the progress of the College. xxmxxlhillu:mul1,,,m .N my fart---.. it vi te cllllIE'illlllIllillll'Ul'n 'l'lli'iJb' is o' .'W'u ?ir-mllgill' ml ' .....rmn?lllililll Ivlllllillllh'll illlgl.-flgfmfmm. ,rnIIIlurnrl:iiilllllE 'll!!!!!iff2::l!:5Q'J2 - fi l: 't E 3' ilF '1f5 'air1f2ll1'HllllliuurrmHHInn. -runInI1Iuu1111.rrm...rg55gggggEgfwiggmqs. :, g xursfgggrn t 'v4H'15115H:5lIII-gzaigmpf'f5I4'?'W'--W z.

WWIIfrlmluiiuumulll I2I Gly: Quilnnl-1. - - HE author of The A77Z67'Z.Cd7Z C0772- mozzwmlth recorded it as his impression that of all the insti- fr eff ' . . Q Y. tUt10HS of America the col- leges are those which seem to be at this moment making the swiftest progress, and to have the brightest promise for the future. They are, he adds, ff supplying ex- actly those things which European critics have hith- erto found lacking in America, and they are con- tributing to her political, as vvell as to her contempla- tive life, elements of inestimable worth. What Mr. james Bryce thus Wrote in his first edition is more strikingly evident to-day. One has only to consider the millions, amounting to more than half a hundred, that have been bestowed upon these ii' I22 institutions within ten years, to realize the immense development that they have undergone, and one need only regard public events, and the affairs of great cities and organized activities of every sort, to per- ceive that American life, to look no further, is at this moment dominated by college-trained men. No longer does the busy, working world sneer at the college. Every department of activity demands its best products. This is due not only to the existence of a clearer general understanding of the value of what is termed the higher education, but even more, perhaps, to the fact that in recent years the curricula of the colleges have been greatly enriched, and otherwise, more perfectly than ever before, ad- justed to meet the actual needs of men and Women in preparing for life. The term a college man is now regarded as synonymous with a trained man, and no one who understands the demands of life and the world doubts that the very best training of all a man's faculties is needed for conspicuous success, and what is more important, for conspicuous usefulness in the world. New importance is further added to the colleges by the development of universities. On every hand the demand increases for men with the specialized pro- fessional training that the university alone can give. The universities in turn demand as a prerequisite for such professional training the broad and deep founda- tion which the college lays. The university seeks, for its raw material, the finished product of the college. The university, however, will never supersede the local college. Rather, as already said, it gives it new emphasis. For the semi-paternal character of the college makes it the natural and suitable home of the undergraduate. The university is the least paternal of schools. It does practically none of the student's planning for him. It says: Here are our lectures, I23 our libraries, our laboratories 3 choose what you want, use them as you will, or let them alone. It is all your affair. The college deals, indeed, with men and women, but with men and women who are immature, who need and welcome counsel and direction. They are to be formed and confirmed according to what is sound physically, socially, intellectually, spiritually, and so to form and confirm them is the business of the col- lege. Moreover, the universities must stand in the great cities. The cities are, in fact, great laboratories for the special student, with their courts, pulpits, hospitals, architecture, machinery, music. But these are not yet needed by the undergraduate. And, for economic reasons, the undergraduate must find his college near home. If local colleges did not exist, it would be the first duty of the universities to establish them. Indeed, in England this has been one great aim and result of university extension. The college must be at the door of the people. The local college, the country college, then, can no longer be regarded as an independent and unrelated unit. Each is rather a member of a vast system, each must be equipped as completely as possible for its work, and each will have its halls nlled with stu- dents in proportion to the completeness with which it can care for them. These conditions may well be considered by those who are responsible for the work that Colby is set to do. If to them we add the significance of conditions peculiar to her, we must conclude that the time has fully come when her material facilities should be greatly enlarged. The campaign before us is distinctly one of material development. This is all the College lacks in order that she may mean to her own region as much as any of the few first American colleges mean to theirs. With such additions to her working ffplant as it is easily within the power of her friends to provide, Colby will absolutely and always command her own field in her attractions for undergraduates as against the attractions of any other college. In many respects she now holds that position. judged by her output, Colby has no apologies to make. She may place her graduates, man for man, in comparison with those of any other college, without fear. In Maine, in Boston, New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minne- apolis, and throughout the land, Colby men and women are found in the first places in every walk of life. So far as past and present are concerned, the College has nothing to regret. But we must look to the future, and we must see to it that Colby shall be so completely equipped that in the mind of intending students there shall be no question of seeking their course elsewhere, save the geographical question, or that of family tradition. The prospect for accomplishing this is most en- couraging. All the conditions, not only favoring, but demanding it, are present. The location of the College is not surpassed in New England for beauty, health- fulness, and accessibility. The community surround- ing it combines the settled, cultured life of an old college town with the stir of a growing, manufactur- ing city. Behind the College are three-quarters of a century of honorable history. Her field is Maine, the Provinces, ,New Hampshire, a bit of Vermont and of Massachusetts. From this field she has always drawn, and from this field there flows to her doors a steadily- 124 . increasing current of students. To say that her equipment should be enriched is, therefore, not to raise the question of gratifying an ambitious imagina- tion, not to propose creating an artificial boom for the College, it is simply a question of meeting actual responsibility and opportunity. It is not a question of reviving a decayed and enfeebled institution, but one of providing for the increasing demands of life and expansion and growth. Twenty-five years ago, President Champlin, Gard- ner Colby, Abner Coburn, J. Warren Merrill, and some others, found themselves face to face with this question. We know how they met it. They gave the College a lea-se of life for a quarter of a century. The Zime has come to renew that lease. For twenty-five years Colby's working facilities have not been materi- ally enlarged, save by the timely and generous gift of Colonel R. C. Shannon-the Physical Laboratory. That gift leaves nothing to be desired in that depart- ment. The Laboratory is unique, and it has been and will continue to be of immense value to the College. But it illustrates what is to be done in other depart- 125 ments. Our facilities for teaching chemistry are in- adequate. The same is true of biology. There is need of more attention to oratory than we can now give. A good course in mechanical drawing ought to be pro- vided. A new lecture hall should be built, and soon the library will crowd us out' of the chapel. The in- creasing numbers of students already call for more in- structors. Other colleges are feeling the same needs, and other colleges are meeting them. Colby has only to realize her opportunity, and she will take a leading place in this advance. What, then, is to be done? A large, but entirely practicable thing-practicable, because the whole embraces several definite measures, each easily within the ability of different groups of benefactors. First, the endowment of the College must be increased until the annual income amounts to 550,000 Second, a chemical laboratory should be erected at a maximum cost of 550,000 An equal amount is required to equip the department of biology. The building for the Women's college will require 550,000 Five or six thousand dollars should be expended upon the build- ings now standing. All this demands between f400,000 and 55oo,o00, but that amount will no more than meet the demands of the hour. In a word, the present campaign has for its end to double the wealth, to double the meaning of the Col- lege. Of course, a great many people will have to think and plan and do, in order to bring it to pass. Equally, of course, not all may be done at once. It is a good work for four or five years. Yet it is by no means incredible that it may be done in less time. These several measures are so related, and are being thought of with interest by so many people, that the accomplishment of any one of them is sure to hasten all the rest. Influential and wealthy friends have given assurances, of which no more can be said herd The Baptist Education Society has already offered co-operation, Citizens of Waterville are taking part in the work. The Alumni have set their hands to it. So, also, have Trustees and Faculty and undergradu- 126 ates. With such a distribution of responsibility the whole can be accomplished and no one feel his part as a burden. That it will be done, none can entertain any manner of doubt. Whether it will at once begin to be done, and move on steadily to full accomplishment within a few years, depends, not upon the ability, but upon the prompt decision of all concerned. There is but one obstacle, and that only a possible one-z'1ze1'!z'a. Move- ment will mean success. For it will mean a college at Waterville meeting the larger demands of to-morrow as completely as it met the simpler demands of yester- day, an institution whose actual work shall be de- scribed in the terms in which the president of a neighboring college stated his ambition: To provide the best instruction, by the best qualified professors, for the best prepared undergraduates, to turn out boys from a four-years' course to be liberally educated American gentlemenf' 65131: Slab: nf H32 when with ISTEN, my children, and you shall hear 719 ' Of the Colby Glee Club, how far and near - They travelled thro' Maine in the early morn, ' Charming both man and beast with song: C Singing their way in the noontide sun, ' And giving a concert when day was done. First to Hebron they went their way, Leaving the train for a covered sleigh They followed the road up hill and down, 'Till they came to the hamlet-t'wan't a town- Where the Academy reared its head, And the law was-at ten o'clock-abed ! Two sleighs there were, which took the boys With their dress-suit cases, and college noise. On one of the seats there climbed that day, judge Bonney, who weighs, I dare not say, But anyway it was quite enough To prove that the cross-bar was not tough The sleigh broke down in fright and awe At the college boys, and the judge of the Law Sadder and wiser with footsteps slow They picked their way over ice and snow, And cracked their jokes, both old and new, 'Till Hebron came to their weary view. The student-girls are fair and bright g They are truly pleasing to greet one's sight. Thus quoth Whitman, a Senior grave, And never a thought to poor Rachel he gave, But fascinated by big brown eyes And cheeks the color of sunset skies, His head not only got strangely turned, But advice and entreaties alike he spurned, He left the orchestra in the lurch, And then for a girl Zhey had to search. Miss Lamb took pity upon them then, And played 'till Whitman came back again! Norway nestles among the hills And Oxford County rocks and rills, And there again they took their way In buffalo robes and a two-horse sleigh. Huge gray boulders lay scattered around On the hillsides steep, and the farming-ground, As if the giants in ages past Had been playing marbles, and then at last They had gone away in the midst of the game And left their toys 'till they came again. Far in the distance, in lofty pride, Vtfith shining head and glistening side, The range of White Mountains lifted themselves In their garments woven by Jack Frost's elves. They were driving in Norway along the street When a voice was heard from the sleigh's back seat, On the hotel piazza, I see, methinks, Warren and Herrick, Sawyer and Squinks, And true enough, in their chosen places They saw the grinning, familiar faces. The rooms were found and the grips unpacked, And the difzifzg-ffovm sought forthe things they Zzzakml And then it happened a little later, That Robbins tipped the pretty waiter. She took the tip, but that was all, And Robbins' pride had a hard, hard fall. Night had come and the concert o'er, The boys were all in their rooms once more, When a hurried step was heard in the hall, An angry knock, and angrier call, And Whit burst into the quiet room Effervescing, with fret and fume :- Whose seen my night-shirt I'd like to know? 'Twas in my grip an hour ago ! He paused a moment with fiashing eye : But they answered him with a deep-drawn sigh, We assure you no knowledge, in truth, have we Of where that .night-shirt indeed can be. Exeunt Whitman, with slamming door, And another room he tries once more. Thus the search goes on and on, And bids fair to continue till break of dawn. Now Hudson, rooming with Whit that night, Was much amused at his room-mate's plight. A sudden thought took possession of Whit, Do you think I'm slow? Well, I guess nit ! He rushed for the bedclothes and turned them down The long lost night-shirt at last is found. For Hudson had swiped it from out Whit's pack, Slipped it onto his own broad back And quickly tumbled into the bed. As to what was done, and what was said, While punishment swift was being meted, 'T would not be lawful to be repeated. Much of the time when not on the go Was consumed by Herrick and his banjo. But the chord was lost and not to be found, Though Herrick pursued it round and round, He twisted his mouth and he twisted the pegs : He twanged the strings and he crossed his legs: Till in time he got crazy as any loon, 128 ' Yet the banjo refused to get in tune. But Herrick said, 'Tis good enough, But on the listeners 'twas rather rough, For Herrick played with might and main lfVithout minding the discord in the strain, The phantom chord is the phantom still, Though Herrick pursues it o'er dale and hill. The banjo is twisted and twanged in vain, But the long lost chord ne'er comes again. From Norway to Mechanic Falls they go, VVhere they ind it slush instead of snow. Slush around them on every side, Six inches deep and eternally wide. But slush or no slush, the concert o'er, They make their way to Miss Walkers door, Where her friends, the Mechanic Falls, girls, VVatch the dimples and smiles and curls Of john Towne, tenor, at nearer view, And are secretly thankful that john's not two ' 'Twas indeed an occasion for angels and men, The ladies were angels, the Glee Club men. They tore themselves from the pleasing sight, And bade the ladies a hearty 'f good-night. They voted Miss Walker was just A I, And deserving of thanks for the hour's fun. It was also here that a thing befell Lamb, their leader, in the hotel. A girl in the corridor he found, 9 I29 With eyes so blue, and cheeks so round, That his piece of mind became quite shaken From the crown of his head to his soul's foundation. Although he received a most sweet smile, His happiness lasted but little while, For when he enquired about the peach, He found marriage had placed her beyond his reach From morning to morning at Livermore Falls, The Glee Club graced the Grand View's halls, Except a few, who to private homes Were sent that night to rest their bones. They did H the Pulp Mill, and what was more, Six of them did a candy store. Did it brown, as we say in our talk, For it took three hours, by the hotelclock. They rolled into Farmington just at noon, And welcomed with joy the dinner-bellfs tune : But after the jaws had all ceased their action, The Normal School proved the greatest attraction. And no wonder indeed, for faces fair Greeted them, smiling, from hall and stair. The most of the afternoon was spent In the Normal building, on pleasure bent. At last the session was really done, And night came on with the setting sun. Wirt grabbed his grip and went up stairs To attend to some of his own affairs, Which were found in an envelope, strange the tale, That he got from home on the P.M. mail. VVhether that was the cause of what befell, In truth, l am not able to tell: But before the morning light shone in Alas and alack, the Hgrippe grabbed him. Poor Wirt came home on a bed of pain, But I'm glad to state that he's out again. In that hotel they had a way That differed from most, as I should say, Your separate order not being taken, Beaf-steak, Lamb-chops, Eggs and Bacon, But the food brought in, in a generous pile, By a buxom waitress, with beaming smile. A dish of oat-meal some eight inches across't And three inches deep, was carelessly tossed In front of Shannon, as he sat at the table, Who believes in eating all he is able. He thought to himself it was all for him, So he sat him at work with might and vim. He seized 'the pitcher and sugar-bowl, And he scattered the contents with liberal dole, Smiling away to himself the while, As he viewed with delight the luscious pile, And it never once seemed to occur to him, That the ample depth and the spacious brim For an oat-meal saucer were rather large, And was loaded indeed with a heavy charge. But the boys soon found where the dish had gone, And peace and quiet reigned not long. Loud were the cries, and deep the groans, Fierce the looks and fiercer the tones, But poor Shannon was saved from the sad, sad end Whither the ways of gluttons end. To Dover and Foxcroft next they came, But the weather truly was mighty lame. Slush beneath that soaked their feet, Rain and snow and a blinding sleet. As you might suppose the house was small, So they sang there Friday, by earnest call. This trip gave rise to considerable jest, When the ff Robbins tried to build a nest. When the boys go into the Dover car, He saw down the aisle, not very far, A bright-faced girl, quite trim and neat, And facing her was an empty seat. So he sailed down the car with a jaunty air, And took his place in the seat with care. Thus they sat for live minutes or so, When he thought of something he wanted to know To get a paper from one of the men, Intending indeed to go back again. But no sooner had Robbins left the seat Than this fair young damsel rose to her feet And calmly and quietly turned the back! Where were the nesting plans? Alack! They all had vanished and flown away, Though chaff was plenty aboard that day. From Dover, up the B. 81 A. they go, Into the regions of ice and snow : Wending their way 'mid scenery grand, Mountains rising on every hand, Lofty trestles, huge drifts of snow, Houses like toys in the valleys below. At Greenville the boys sang unusually well, But otherwise there is naught to tell, Except that Herrick grinned a grin, And was therefore accused with a heinous sin. For he was charged with intoxication, But they cleared him from the accusation. And he came home having within his pate Many a thing to contemplate. But the light is fading, the pen runs hard : Be kind, I pray, toward the luckless bard. The Muse's presence I seem to miss, But the trip is ended, and so is this. H. W.

Wlrnwiltg ifpq Ear? Sunset and evening star And one clear call for me, And may there be no moaning of the bar, I-IESE words, sung in the deep, mel- out into the hush of the well-filled 4 z' '-4-,- f.--1 church, mingling with the soft When I put out to sea. V'ii' A , low voice of a young man, floated 1! music of the organ, and falling like a benediction on pastor and people. The day had been long and hot, but here, inside the old Baptist Church, it was cool as cool could be. Every one of the tall, narrow win- dows in the dimly-lighted room was open, pushed far down from the top, and the ghostly semblance of a breeze stole through the room, softly, as if ashamed of its own weakness. Cn, on sang the tall, young college student, and 93' I there was a note of tender sadness in his voice, that seemed well suited to the beautiful words he sang: Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark, And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. And the people, sitting in the cool dusk of the quiet room, forgot the heat and weariness of the day, forgot their own vexations and troubles as they listened. And still he sang: For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The Hood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. The voice, and the music, and the words were all one, and the spell of it all rested upon the people and held them fast. lVhen the last notes had died away into the still- ness, and the tall young singer had taken his seat, a young man in the audience leaned down to the fair- haired girl by his side and said, Phil Stearns sings better than ever, doesn't he ? Seems to me his voice has improved immensely since I4 heard it last, but then, it ought to in that time. The last time I heard him sing was Baccalaureate Sunday last year, do you remember? She looked up into his face with a happy smile as she answered, Yes, just the one word, but it satisfied him. And john Winter's strong, dark face lighted up, and the stern lines about his mouth softened and smoothed away, as they always did when Mary Dexter spoke to him. When the quartette finished singing the hymn before the sermon and took their seats, the girl who sang alto said to Philip Stearns, Did you see -Iohn Winter down there with Mary Dexter? I didn't know he was here. When did he come, do you know ? Winter, oh, he came yesterday forenoon. I-Ie's here on a business trip, I believe, was the care- less reply. But he did not hear the girl's next ques- tion, Won't he stay for Commencement? as he turned abruptly away. The smile left his face at once as he turned in his seat to face the preacher, and his handsome mouth settled into a hard, deter- I mined line. I-Ie was conscious of only one thing as he sat there so quietly, and that was the effort to keep from thinking. It seemed to him as if the ser- vice would never end, but it did at last. The choir sang once more, and then the people bowed their heads while the white-haired old minister pronounced the benediction, and at length he was free to go. He hurried out of the church by the vestry door and walked rapidly up the street toward the college campus. just where the broad walk from the door- way of the Ladies' Dormitory joined the wooden side- walk he passed a young couple walking slowly along and talking earnestly together. They were Winter and Mary Dexter. When he reached the 'fBricks'i and entered his room he found his room-mate on the lounge, with a book and a cigar. The room was hot and close and the air stiiiing. Phil picked up a magazine and tried to read, but soon he reached for his old tennis cap and went out. He roamed about for a while on the campus and hnally wandered aimlessly down to the brink of the river and stood there watching the rushing water. As his eyes grew accustomed to the darkness of the place of shadows where he stood he saw an old bateau chained to the bank beside him. Pulling it out from the bank, he leaped lightly into it and sitting on one of the rough board seats gave himself up to the thoughts that thronged upon him. Mary Dexter and he had known each other from their earliest childhood, had been playmates in the little village that was their home. In those old days they had been always together, but after they came to college they had drifted gradually apart. They had always been friends, to be sure, but no longer in the old way. There had been some slight, indefinable barrier between them through the first three years of their course, a barrier as to whose cause neither felt quite certain, but which Stearns had sometimes thought was due to lVfary's friendship with john VVinter. That friendship, begun early in her Fresh- man year, had grown and increased steadily during all the years until Winter had graduated and gone away. That summer when they went home Phil dropped naturally enough into his old position as lVfary's chosen friend, and that place he had held ever since. And now it was only three short weeks since the day when he looked down into Mary's calm gray eyes and read there her answer, the answer that made her his forever. Forever, he repeated defiantly, and for a moment his face brightened. They had planned to announce their engagement the last week of their I college life, and meanwhile they had shared their secret with no one. But now all the old doubts came back to him, as he sat in the old, leaky boat, looking down into the dark, swift water and watching the moon's reflection as it broke and dissolved and came again amid the shadows cast by the tree-boughs overhead. He knew, had known all along, that Wiiiter loved Mary with all the strength of his strong nature. He knew that VVinter could give her wealth and ease at once, while he would have to wait and toil for years. He knew, too, that in many ways VVinter was just the man to make her happy, that his stern self-repression would be to her atower of strength, and that in his quiet power she would find a peace that would be more to her than anything beside. But all these things would have counted as nothing to Philip Stearns if he had only been sure that she loved him as she had said. He knew that she thought she loved him, but he had felt all the time that perhaps after all she had made a mistake and some day she would find it out. He knew her too well to think that she could ever be in- duced to take back her promise to him, but as he thought what it might mean to her to keep that promise, he set his teeth hard together and picking up the paddle that lay in the boat pushed rapidly out into the middle of the river. If it hadn't been for me, it would have been all right by this time, if only I'd kept out of it,'l he said half aloud. And then it came to him like a flash of light that there was a way to make it right even now. Vilinter would be happy, and so would Mary in the end. Two lives that made fair to be spoiled now, that he felt almost sure he himself had spoiled, would reach perfection after all, and his life would simply end. Mary would sorrow for him awhile, but she would soon be comforted, and there was no one else to care. His mother had died the year before, and his father so long ago that he could scarcely remem- ber him. He was all alone in the world. He could think of no other way to set things right, no other way in which he could repair the wrong he had un- wittingly done, and this was so simple. The deep, cool river-the boat would overturn so easily,-he leaned far over to one side, but with a sudden start he drew himself up again. It's too easy, that's the rub, he muttered. His perplexity had made him morbid, and he saw it now. There must be some other remedy, some other way to straighten all this terrible tangle, some way that the consequences of his mistake might fall upon I 'P himself alone. He bowed his head in his hands and thought for a long, long time. - But all his thinking did not make it clear. He must just take up his life again and go on as if nothing had happened, and these two others must pay the penalty of his mistake. If only all the suffer- ing came on him he would accept it willingly, gladly, but that .vhe must suffer, that Wintei' must suffer- He could do nothing to help them. He sat there motionless a long time. At last he said aloud, God's will be done. I can only do my duty so far as I can see it. Then, after a moment's pause, Perhaps there'll be some way out for her yet. Then the doubt and the struggle and the morbid- ness left him, and there came to him instead a feeling of strength and almost peace as he sat alone in the hushed stillness of the night. He thought of the quiet, dimly-lighted church he had left such a little while before, and for some mysterious reason the song he had sung that ,evening came back to him. He hummed it over quietly a moment, but soon he broke out into song. Softly he sang, and low: Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark, And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark. For though from out our bourne of Time and Place And may there be no moaning of the bar, ' The flood may bear me far, When I put out to Sea. I hope to see my Pilot face to face NVhen I have crossed the bar. U But Such a tide as m0ViUg Seems 351969 VVhen he had ended, all wasistill for a moment. Then suddenly he noticed that the rushing of the water was growing louder and louder in his ears. He looked up. Not twenty feet ahead the level floor of the river was broken off and disappeared.

I Wfpzaw. THE second animal inter-collegiate chess tourna- ment was held at Brunswick, April 15, 16 and 17, 1897. Chess, although not destined to becomea very popu- lar game, surprised its most enthusiastic admirers by the interest which it aroused among the students of both colleges. - The flrst inter-collegiate tournament held at Water- ville, a year ago, resulted in a victory for Bowdoin by a score of eleven to four. This year the tables were turned, and after a closely fought contest, Colby won by a score of ten and a half games to seven and a half. The success of these tournaments has made the annual meet an assured feature of inter-collegiate relations. The special interest in chess at Colby is of recent ii' origin and we feel proud of our achievements thus far. The Chess Club was organized in YQ4, and has always received the hearty support of both students and faculty, particularly of Dr. Marquardt, of the Department of Modern Languages, who, with a knowledge of the game acquired only by years of study and practice, has freely given his services as instructor, thus affording exceptional opportunities to any one wishing to learn the game. An attempt will be made to induce the other col- leges of Maine to unite with Colby and Bowdoin in forming an inter-collegiate chess association, under whose auspices the annual tournaments shall be held.

From out the groves the shadows creep: They steal across the field and stream, While daisies bend their heads and dream: They lull the Day's smile into sleep. The robin in the apple-tree, Full-throated sings his evening prayer, The black-birds in the maple there, Respond in Nature's litany.

AFTER a career of a fifth of a century, The Echo may be considered a firmly established institu- tion of Colby. May it continue to prosper, and may it with undiminished shadow celebrate its fortieth anniversary in IQI7, although some of us perchance will not be there to see. So writes J. H. Files, of the class of '77, the first editor-in-chief of The Echo, in the recent anniversary number which celebrated the twentieth year of a college paper at Colby. It is now the custom for nearly every college to be represented by a periodical, the worth of which depends on the size of the institution, on the ability of the students, and on many other things which at once suggest themselves to the mind. In this present day of improvement and advance- ment at Colby, The Echo, our college paper, has not ii' I remained behind, and by its improvement has shown that the literary work of the College has reached a higher standard as well as the other lines of college activity, and we are very glad to he able to commend in the highest degree the work of the retiring board of editors, and more especially, Charles Huntington Whitman, the editor-in-chief, by whose efforts The Echo takes a position among the leading college publications. Great improvement has been made along literary lines by introducing new and pleasing features, and by preserving throughout all the issues a healthful and up-to-date tone. The past year, The Echo has more truly attained to the real function of a college paper than ever before. It has very faithfully presented all phases of college life, and by its strong editorials has done much to create a healthy attitude on the part of the students toward questions dealing with college life. If a college paper succeeds in arousing a proper college spirit, the editorial board may feel that their efforts have been to a very considerable degree suc- cessful, and in this line The Echo has i been very strong during the past year. We are also glad to mention the recent move of The Echo Association in revising the constitution, by which the paper is put on a more stable basis both in its literary value and in its value to the College. The fact that hereafter in the selectioniof the editorial board, society lines will be thrown aside and that the editors will be elected purely on their merits, augurs well for the future success of The Echo. The paper cannot fail to improve when its 'guiding force is composed of students chosen from those who pos- sess real literary ability rather' than from those who represent college cliques. In closing, THE ORACLE wishes to extend hearti- est congratulations, both for itself and the whole student body, to those who have so earnestly striven to make The Echo a publication worthy of Colby. We also wish all success to the new board of editors, and trust that they will not allow themselves to fall below the standard set by the retiring board, in the twentieth volume of The Echo. ffl 1-'aa we r '-Hmm Sew H' l ' lilfbfnksblgg iif.'f?r ' rruiuigiimaiii 9 i V -U.U-,.-- -e. va-,Fujii if 'ii' TM- J T his '1'w'73f'T,lr'3jpm3awf'1 'thi ' v-..f 'H 4' M1 X' , I- 4 '. ,r ' :' :. . - 12.1555-il:llxlA ' . -ii .e .

The wood seemed to cut off every breath of the breeze that was stirring the tree-tops, and the motionless silence, broken only by the buzzing flies, now and then the sweet bird-note, or the eau, cau, eau of the crows was only the more intense. They stopped beside a mossy stone near the opening, she to take off her hat and push back the wandering hair that Was falling over her face, he to pull off his cap and wipe the sweat from his forehead. The rough path whose course followed in part the bed of a spring-time brook was beautifully carpeted with rich green mosses and with ferns, large and small. Near the stone beside which these two halted was growing a bunch of the maiden-hair. She admired these slender plants, their delicate leaves and shining brown stems, and chided him for having broken that waxen Indian pipe that was growing by his feet. He just now was indifferent to the beauties of nature so lavishly scattered about him. He was hoping that the blackberries he had helped to pick, had earned , A.: fl l f l .

They had started out with no idea whatever of picking berries, they did not even know where any grew. They had set out in the boat for a row up the lake, but finding that the sun was warm in spite of the gentle breeze that was rippling the water they had landed at the opening of the old wood road whose entrance was arched by branches already tinted with the reds and yellows of autumn. They wandered up from the shore until the sunny picture of clearing framed by the trees at the head of the path attracted them. In the opening they had found so many berries, almost every branch of the tall young bushes was bending low under its weight of shining black fruit. He made some baskets of bark s. ji then, which the had ver ge? Y Y p g AJ soon filled, and now they 1' Q 9 X were returning to the boat.

In the background were the hills rising in three tiers from the opposite shore, a mile away. The breeze had died away, and the waters were perfectly calm and blue except where they reflected the rleecy whiteness of a passing cloud, and just in the centre, ploughing her way steadily along was the steamer loaded with her freight of a hundred or more excursionists. Flags were flying, and a dark line of smoke went curling upward. While the two were watching her move so proudly and confidently along, a small launch came into sight, following so swiftly upon the larger boat that she was about upon her rival before they passed beyond the framing branches, and were lost to sight, leaving in the picture only the strokes of Nature's -brush. Sha had exclaimed over the beauty of sky and cloud, light and shadow, and the grace of the passing boats, but his calm replies had made her feel almost ashamed of her own en- thusiastic delight. It was not that he was incapable of admiring the beauty in such a scene, but he was admiring something else very much more as he buried the shining tip of his shoe in the heavy moss. VVhy would he mar the soft, rich tufts ! she thought. They sat down on a log by the shore and waited to hear the swish-swash of the steamer's waves when they should beat upon the rocks. He began to cut off the bright heads of the golden-rod with the quick blows of 'a little stick. She did not like to see the yellow blossoms fall from their tall, straight stems. XfVhy would he do so! Never before had he shown himself so careless of the Howers. She ate a few ber- ries from the heaped basket, but she did not realize that she was doing it. The waves came, but they were quite unheeded. A squirrel, after watching them for some minutes from the shadowing limb of the maple tree, began to chatter and scold at the in- truders, but they noted him not. They sat there a long time, these two. He talked earnestly and gazed on her face while her eyes, downturned, were fixed on the basket of berries. And during all the time they sat there on the old beech-log, she spoke only the word yes The birds in the trees overhead heard and under- stood what it all meant, and tried to express its meaning in burst of ecstatic song, the sunset became more glorious, and the little red squirrel was almost friendly. The sun was hidden behind the hills when the boat was pushed off at last from the shore. How happy they were! They had been friends since child- hood, and had always loved each other as brother and I sister, and on this September afternoon, just before he was to start off for his last year in college, he had told her all his plans and had made his great confes- sion. She had expected it all summer, yet however much such things may be expected, their coming is always a surprise. And then, she had made her con- fession too, nor was hers unexpected to him. He was going to have that pretty girl in the city, the judge's daughter, for a bride, as soon as he finished his courses of study. Didn't she think he was mighty fortunate, and ought to be one of the happiest fellows alive ? T Yes, had been her answer, and how full of meaning that one word had been. And, continued he, now I want you to own up. lsn't that young minister coming for you soon Pi' 4' Yes, again was her sole reply, but he was satisfied, for he understood his shy little friend. The birds had rejoiced to hear of four people so happy. Silently, save for the regular dip of the oars, they rowed home at the close of that beautiful September day Which was the happier will never be known. I-Ie received and accepted her invitation to tea, and ate of the blackberries ripened under the warm sun in the clearing. t GRACE GATCHELL, YQ7.

Bnhnrt Brninning. Some poets spurn the earth as commonplace, Or touch it as a thing unclean, unfit. They soar to vatic heights above the clouds On wings of dreamy visions, dimly lit. 'f Not man, they cry, but angels be our theme! Not life, we'd know, but ecstasy divine ! Their heav'n is not the soul's.last victory, But for surcease of strife they wait and pine. Of sterner soul was he, our master bard, Who lived his days out in the here and now, Yet held aloft a faith in the unseen That earth's opposing problems could not cow. Defeat ! it was a word he never knew, Mistakes to him were but a ground for hope 3 And, shining down, he saw a better clay For those who in their darkness fall and grope. Not heroes crowned with praise for vantage won, Nor they who slip not in the way of life, But souls submerged and those who beat the air Were subjects for his penetrating knife. 5'3! 151 The motive hidden from the sight of men He sought, and trusted not the purblind eye, The breath of aspiration, smothered deep, Would kindle hope and fan his courage high. A devotee of art, he first knew life- Its lights and shades of mingling pain and joy, But never did its glory pass away : He hailed it with the freshness of a boy. No prison-house he deemed this Hesh of ours To bar the spirit in its lively growth : He pressed them into service mutual, And thanked the Deity who gave them both. Like Hebrew prophet in the days of old, Who raised his head above th' obscuring cloud, From radiant heights, a message for his age He thundered forth, in weighty accents loud. What purity of heart his vision cleared ! For everywhere-in sky, and sea and sod, In seeming chaos, even in despair- That beatific vision saw but God ! ALICE SAWTELLE RANDALL, '8 Maria aanar, ani away A fair flower bloomed beside the dusty way, Spotless, some messenger from Heaven it seemed, Borne down to earth on snowy angel-wings, - Yet meekly stood and drooped its beauteous head As if in mute appeal for human love. Breathing the while an incense rare and sweet As heavenly odors, which are prayers of saints. A lonely traveler saw,-and loved the flower, He knelt beside it and was comforted. Then one sad voice was heard : Vain-all, all vain! ' The flower must fade and die. Thy love is vain. A tiny snowflake fell from out the sky. Ah, softly did it flutter, flutter down, Most like a fairy Creature clothed in white! It fell upon the grass. A little child Stopped, clapped his hands in glee. A star! A . star ! - He cried. I've found a star ! Alas, als, For childish hopes ! Before his little hands Could reach the star, 'twas gone. And then once more That doleful voice did say : f'Vain-all, all vain ! Snow stars must melt away. Thy joy is vain. i'i' 152 A sunset reddened all the west. The clouds, Which through that summer's day had been a veil Before the sun's bright face, were lifted now To let the glory of his good-night smile Shine full upon the world. Then many a one, Tired with the labor of the day, looked up And caught the glory shining in the sky And blessed God for the sunset. Darkness fell. That mournful voice sobbed : f'Vain-all, all in vai So shall it ever be. Earth's light is vain. Stay, mournful voice. A sound of thunder rolls From hill to hill. A greater voice than thou Speaks mightily, while livid lightnings flash In fiery attestation of the word Heaven's thunders utter, ff Thou, thou art a Lie, Most blind perversion of most glorious Truth! n l Thou sayest Howers shall fade and snow-stars melt, And sunsets pass away. But know thou this : The flower, the snowflake, and the sunset, these Are but the glimpses weary mortals catch Of God's own smile, are but the writing dim Of God's own thought. What if the writing fade ! The thought remains. Vain it is not. ' For lo! That thought is Beauty. Beauty never dies ! HELEN R. BEEDE, '93, ' Br Qrsanr. ES, she saw that light mysteriously slip- ping back and forth over the chamber door, not an ordinary light, you know, A A but a sort of a dull luminous glow that you can always recognize, for it will shine right through everything. The way to tell it is to put your hand in front of your eyes and if it appears on your palm it's something supernatural. She tried itg it was the death-light. Now, of course, my aunt didn't believe in ghosts or anything of the kind, but she was all worn out taking care of little Elsie and she felt from that moment that she must give her up. Well, the next night at that very same time, as she was sitting by the baby's crib-the poor little thing was awfully sick-she heard a hollow rap on the door and went tip-toeing to open it. No one was there, but when she came back to the crib the baby was deadfl The 'embers in the fireplace, dropping down be- 5'? I tween the andirons, burst out with a light that cast a pale glow upon the faces of the college girls seated 'round upon the floor, all of them stiff and erect, try- ing to regulate the short, quick breaths that told of palpitating hearts. Isn't that funny P at length quoth she who always felt it her duty to break a pause. Funny! It's A'07'7'Z.b!6, but it's elegant. Come again, girls, to-morrow night at eleven, after you get your studying done, and we'll have another seance of this kind. Howl wish we had a real skull to set right down among us! WoLildn't it be ideal?', and the girls all bade Lena good-night, accepting her ghastly invitation. Left alone, she shuddered as she set the room to rights after her friends had gone, but she would not for a moment have had any of the girls know how her blood was creeping through her veins in slow, chill gushes, or how her flesh was all a-quiver. Skulls grinned around her when she tried to sleep. l'm getting my wish, she said grirnly to herself. She seemed to be looking into an old tomb with bursting Caskets where skeletons were peering through the cracks. Suddenly one of the skulls gave forth a gusty laugh that rattled its teeth in their sockets. Hor- rors ! It was certainly straining toward her! It bent, twisted and turned, and at last with a horrible wrench the persevering Cranium wrested itself from the spi- nal column and came slowly rolling toward her, bumping along over the uneven ground of the tomb. It had reached her feet when there issued from its empty case such a shriek that she sprang from her bed to hnd that the rising bell had rung. The girls gathered again in the evening with an eerie fascination for the horrible things that were narrated by the flickering fire-light. No one entered into the ghoulish festivities with ,more zest than Lena., though she felt that her nerves were drawing tighter and tighter, and sickening thoughts of her dream made her shiver. SLT I It came again, the next night and the next, always the shriek of the struggling skull that' called her to another day of work. What's the matter with Lena? every asked. She isn't jolly at all as she used to be, and O1'1C she is growing thin and pale. Overwork, the doctor said, she must rest and sleep. You're beginning to look like the ghosts you think so much off' remarked a tactful friend, but waited in vain for Lena's usual kind laugh at a flat but expectant joke. Oh ! she screamed, can't you see it? Can't you hear it? Listen! Hear it crunch, hear it grind, creak, wrench ! Oh! it has snapped! and it's rolling, rolling, rolling!'i She pressed both her hands to her head as if to hold it. They soothed her and kept her in a still and darkened room till she was able to be carried home, and one more was added to the list of girls broken down by the nervous strain of college work.

I am one of those agents what makes dates wid their lady friends, and I think this building should not go up without somesuggestions from the 'members of the menls college who expect to spend a large part of their time there. I utilized the greater part of Fast Day in care- fully examining the plan in Redington's window, and on the whole I call it pretty good, but I think a few suggestions might be valuable to you, and as I have been three years in college and have passed much of the time during those three years at the Palmer House, and have had ample opportunity to learn what are the advantages and disadvantages of a woman's dormitory, I feel that I am as well fitted to advise you as anybody could be. First, there is the reception room. I think this room should be arranged hrst in planning a woman's dormitory. I understand that it has been suggested to have it arranged like a series of confessionais or restaurant eating stalls, where each co-ord can receive her guest in comparative seclusion. I Hatter myself that a great mind like my own can devise a much bet- ter scheme than that. The Profs. say my judgment is pretty good, and when I was in Mechanic Falls last vacation, we talked it all over and I will give you our plan free of charge. My idea would be to have the room octagonal in shape, with an alcove on each side, thus making sixteen corners and alcoves for reception purposes. Every alcove should have a fefe-a-Zeff Qthey are mighty comfortable, you knowj and be hung with portieres. These portieres can be drawn open ii I when the alcoves are not occupied. Every corner should be furnished with a large easy chair. Some of the chairs in the Palmer House are as stiff and uncomfortable as my new collar. Now, Prexy, don't have the room too lzlghi. Many of us college fellows have trouble with our eyes, and we ought to rest them one evening in the week. My lady friend said she thought a number of large Japanese screens would look pretty in the room-say, perhaps, about eight. Now, I don't like the looks of that fence as shown in the plan. Of course, as Shakespeare-or Ben jon- son, I forget which-said, Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage. But in spite of Shakespeare, I don't approve of that wall. Personally, I am capable of stepping over such an obstruction, and so is Fred, but my little minis- terial friend has not been so blessed by nature as we have g he never gained any Laura-ls in vaulting con- tests. And it is hard enough to get away on recep- tion nights, anyway, without being walled in and made to feel that you can't get out even if you should want to. I should also like to suggest that the warning bell be sounded at ten o'clock, so as to allow ten min- utes extm for saying good-night, instead of taking that time out of our calling hours. Hustle as best I can, I can't seem to get around until gzzfz1'fe1' pas! szb: and from that time until ten is alogether too short for a social call. Hoping these hints will be acted upon,I am, Respectfully yours, I-R-Y VV-LLM-N. 5 ri Elianulig Qrhafs. i'5' Eperial in Hpa Sllbrarlv. WATERVILLE, ME., MAY Io, 1897. AN interesting innovation was introduced here last night, the occasion being the debate between the members of the Colby faculty on the much-mooted question of the classic languages and the sciences. It has transpired that when the new scientific course of Ph.B. was proposed much discussion was provoked at the regular meetings of the faculty, and it was finally agreed that the question should be settled by a public debate. The chapel was filled to overflowing, as both sides had created considerable interest by their spirited campaign. The devotees of the old classic languages excelled in eloquence. Well might old Cicero have been proud to have uttered such encomiums on his be- loved Latin. The scientists had rather the better of the argu- ment from a standpoint of logic. The articles were on the whole well presented and were well received. ' 158 President Butler presided, and after a somewhat lengthy discourse stated the question as follows: Resolved, that the sciences afford a better training to the mind than the languages. President Butler then introduced Prof. Rogers as the first speaker. Prof. Rogers spoke as follows: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen.+In the dis- cussion of a question so important and so intricate- a question on which scientific minds have long busied themselves since the day Galileo saw the apple drop --thereby discovering the law of gravitation,-until the present day, experience has shown that the honest mind freed from all prejudice can alone grasp the truth. I have always been enthusiastic for the sciences. The sciences are the ministers of truth. I think it was Prof. Bowdoin, of Hutchins, who said that 'Who- soever worships at the shrine of science thereby takes on the garments of accuracy and perspicuityf K! The supporters of thelanguages must feel embar- rassed to read the names of the eminent men who have achieved success and fame without any knowl- edge of the classic languages, I will read you a few such names Cconsiderable time was consumed here by'Santa's futile attempts to find his notesb, sis- sis-sis-can't find my notes. Had 'em though. Laid them on the table. Sis-sis-sis-someone must have taken them. Can't get along. Let me see. What I I say. Forget where I left off. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I said john Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer didn't known anything about Latin and Greek. Lot of others, too, only they've slipped my mind at present. Therefore-hence we'll assume I've proved that point, namely that a great many famous men didn't know Greek. QTeddy makes vociferous signals to Stet. Rob sniffs contemptuouslyj Where am I? O yes! Therefore we know, there- fore we deduce the following fact, namely that the sciences train a man to accuracy and perspicuity. Forinstance. If we take the Metronome pendulum and the Attwood machine, namely a machine for deter- mining the velocity of a falling mass, we can find the duration of time required for a given mass to pass over a given space. That is, we can find the time with- in three or four seconds, perhaps more, perhaps less. QLaughter.j ' Wonderful device that Attwood machine. Now ask you to consider next the X-ray. Q Can't go on here unless we have it more quiet, said Santa, as he dodged a hymn book dexterously hurled at him by Colonel Pagej I Namely, the fact is self-confident, I mean self-evi- dent, sis-sis-sis-let me see. O yes. Isaid the opposition would say science made a man guess. But it don't. Never made me guess. I've made science guess, though, oftenf' QAp- plausej f'Statical electricity shows us every day. QFive- minute bell rings.j There is the bell. O dear, O dear, what shall I do? What shall I do? Haven't proved anything yet. Haven't had time. O dear, O clear, sislsis-sis. Got to stop, though. Hear the bell. O dear. Have to take it for granted. Prof. Hall was introduced as the next speaker. Prof. Hall said: Ladies and Gentlemen: In all my experience with men and books, in all my experience with things living and things dead, with things visible and invisible, things that creep and things that fly, I have always observed that the classic languages stand unrivaled in stateliness and splendor, absolutely alone in grand- eur and glory. QHac applaudsj Dr. Rogers has presented an argument based on the Attwood. Now, what is 'this Attwood machine ? It is composed of a few brass wheels, two tin cans and alot of strings. Yes strings, gentlemen, strings. CSanta attempts to rise. Stet scowls and Santa subsidesj Now, gentlemen, I ask you how can that machine, a mere combination of tin, brass and strings, discipline a man's mind l QApplause and groansj Take chemistry, continued the Professor, warming up. A man goes into the laboratory and mixes up a few acids, or liquids, or gases. Does it all under the guidance of an instructor. That kind of work makes man a mere machine. QStet and Rob look cheerfulj Same of geology. Breaking up stones, gentlemen. Breaking up stones. I-Iow can a man break stones and get an education? Asif every stone was a mine of information. Absurd, gentlemen, absurd. CI-lac applauds violentlyj Now let us consider the other side of this question. The association, the familiarity with the language of Cicero and Caesar, of Homer and .Eschylus make a man to think. Thinking is what the classics train a man to do. But I shall not weary you with details. CApplause.j I shall trust my colleagues to present you the remain- ing arguments in support of our side. QI-Iaughtily.j I have met the opposition. I have captured the cit- adel. CApplause. Dutchy groansj President Butler, in a very appropriate speech about thirty minutes long, introduced I. William Black, Auger Professor of Political Economy. ,Dr. Black advanced to the front part of the plat- form with a small library under his arm. He depos- ited the library upon the table and spoke as follows : Ladies and Gentlemen : I, myself, never had much experience with the exact sciences, as Political Economy cannot in the strictest sense be called exact. John Stuart Mill and other famous men have fre- 160 quently stated this and from the fact that it is subject to-well, to changes both in form, facts and various other things, this question may be regarded as settled. 'f Now, I remember, down in Baltimore, various ques- tions which have arisen concerning municipal revenue and grants which have changed in the course of a few years. Now, down in Baltimore Qlaughsj some years ago Qsmilesy there was no natural gas and we had to wait until I grew old enough Qlaughter and applause, Professor smiles, grins and laughsj to remember that two -gas, that is artificial gas, companies started, and so on. Now, in this age we try, at least I make it a point to try in my classes, to kill or anni- hilate time , we do it, toof' QGeneral laughterj Now I remember down in Baltimore that there was some trouble about the water-works. ,What did they do? Did they buy their works? Exactly. That is they did not exactly buy them, but they rented them, which is quite the same thing. But to return to our subject from which we have slightly digressed. Science means knowledge, sys- tematized thought. Therefore, if a man thinks he must be trained for the duties of life, Qand of course he is, in a sensej. In one sense he is, in another sense he is not. Why! Yes, exactly, quite right, yes. QTime limit bell rings and Black grinsj. Exactly, exactly, and again I say exactly. Yes, exactly. QTakes his seat amid cheers and hisses, blushing like a girl, and feeling foolish, funny and flunkedj There is no man more qualified to discuss, fun- damentally and thoroughly, the subject under con- sideration -than Professor Robertsfl said President Butler in presenting the next speaker. PROFESSOR Roberts, a medium-sized man of about thirty years of age, advanced with a swagger that seemed to suggest contempt for the rest of the race. PROFESSOR Roberts speaks with a confident air. Following is the full text of PROFESSOR Roberts's speech : Mr, President, Ladies and Gentlemen :-Now I'll tell you right here what I know about this science business. I think that a man might study science for one hundred years and then not know anything about it. What is the use of knowing when you can bluff just as well? Shakespeare says, somewhere, that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and you can't learn muck science in a few years, so if you study it at all, you must be content to learn a Zilfla. But I'll tell you, I don't think it's really necessary. I never knew any science. I don't know a great deal now, but then I know enough to 'phase' most people. Say, I'll give you a good rule. Mal2gp0sz'fz've smz'eme1zfs.f !l!fz!aep0.vz'Zz'w sm!e11ze1zZs.f 'Nine times out of ten nobody'll question them. If they do-O, well, I suppose you'll have to back water. But they won't more than once a year. Now, Professor Rogers was mistaken when he said that john Stuart Mill and Herbert Spencer did II 16r not know anything about Greek and Latin. Listen, and I'll read you something from the ' Encyclopaedia Britannica' QReads, and proves Santa was wrong,j fAt this juncture Santa arises and asks permission to correct an error. Is there objection? sternly asks Prex. No objection being made, Santa stoutly denies ever having said that john Stuart Mill or Herbert Spencer knew nothing about Greek or Latin. Dutchy backs up Santa. Suppressed merrimentj It is immaterial, anyway, continued PROFESSOR Roberts. I am convinced that this kaudience don't want any more arguments. What you need is my opinion, my authority. Will you vote 'No'? You see I know all about this subject, and you, O rabble, only deceive yourselves into lhZ'7ZkZ'7Zg' you know. This modest observation called forth thunderous applause. A period of silence followed, and then Stet attempted to renew the applause and inadvert- ently brought his foot down on Dutchy's toe. Dutchy loses his wonted self-control, and becomes excited. Santa, Dutchy and Prex all try to talk at once. The Colonel throws a hymn book at the light. Excite- ment intense.

The rural rawness of the farm is still observable in Mr. Robbins' pleas- ing manners. Entering Colby in the Fall of ,95, Mr. Robbins began his career.

The author's versatile power of expression is admirable, but often leads him to indulge in unpardonable inconsistencies. One traces the narrative with intense curiosity, unable to form any definite conception of what will come next. The story concludes in a vague manner that leaves the reader to interpret the author's meaning for himself A great many solutions have been offered by inventive minds, but the plot of the originator still remains an enigma.

He dotes upon that maiden, who Did his affections gain, For he's a lad who's got it bad- That's Co-ord on the brain.

A whip for a horse, a halter for an ass, and water for the back of the Freshman.

OVER the balmy air, last night as Isat at my win- dow, Floated, I first thought, my name, my angular name from the text-book, Cheerfully hymned in loud notes, but I must have been off in a tangent. 'YVay down below,' were the words that followed with startling distinctness. Syllables then most confused, till I caught the faint words, 'swell with yearning' Lingering accents of 'Hades' fell soft on my tym- panic membrane Rousing vain thoughts in my heart of the mighty in that gloomy kingdom, lntercourse with whose souls would be pleasant to us and of profit To Z'k6Z.7' minds, modestly quoth the good man in whose Cranium dwell mathematics. ' Well, said the doughty young Chieftain who holds - up the big desk in chapel, VV1shes are surely of no use save transferred by the will into action. Here is occasion, I think, for the heartiest co4 operation 3 93' I Who can inform this assembly of means for this great undertaking ? Easy enough if we simply choose the right way to come at it. . Slowly the heads of the wise men turned on their vertebral pivots. None had provided for-this, though Santa made the confession: This is a subject, he said, I discussed in a jour- nal of science 5 I-Iow, I've forgotten just now, but wait and Ithink we can do it. . Virgil's account of fineas in his search for his father, Anchises, ' Gives us suggestion, said one. We must Hnd the gold leaf by Avernusf' That is the way, I remember. Yes, yes, precisely the method, Easy as fc with the X-rays, turn them full force on the forest h The metal stands out so plain from the rest you have only to pluck itf' Doves would be better, said Judy, 'ffineas had them to guide him. Not scientific at all ! Will have nothing to do with the matter ! Doves! I should say ! but the President here inter- rupted the quarrel, Seeking adjustment of matters, amicable and con- sistent. Science in our day, said he, confronts us with startling discoveries 5 Things that the ancients had welcomed had they but been able to know them. Matches are cheaper than stealing if Prometheus only had tried them.- Brimstone and sticks in this world had saved brim- stone and Styx in the other. 'Rough upon Rats' or 'Dead-stuck' in destroying Stymphalian monsters Hercules had best used or a hydrant for Augean stables. Therefore I think since X-rays will find us the gold leaf most quickly This is the method to use. Bring on your machinery, Doctor. Bright through the leaves of the forest shone the strange light from the Crookes' tube, Pierced through the vegetable growth like sun through the clear air of morning. - Quivering stood the gold leaf 'neath fluoroscope's sharp revelation. Gods havedecreed we shall go, quoth the Prof, with locks like the sunlight, ff Making our own providences, that's the way to get on, I assure you. Solid, I think, from my testing, not found in this shape very often. Sold, would bring several dollars to go toward a half- back next season. I Aid for the College, hurrah ! Books ! Funds for the new dormitory l Cries were of various import at thought of the dollars 'twould bring them. Thought we had started for Hades, growled Rob 5 . . then what's the use talking? Though, to be sure, much the sense to pay when you might go for nothing. Toward the cave of the Sibyl they wended, giving ear to one who convinced them Chlorophyl was attacked by the gas from ill-smelling Avernus, K Then, too, the gold from the sunshine sifted down and dropped on the green leaf. Chloride of gold was produced, then the heat from its torrid surroundings Freed all the chlorine, and gold leaf was left to be twirled by the breezes. Sounds greeted their ears most distressing of Clank- ing and moaning and groaning. Don't be alarmed, friends, said Rob, f'we're safe when we get to old Pluto. Intimate friend of mine. I've done him many a favor. Offered to take me once as a partner in ruling his kingdom. What is the nature of this infernal organiza- tion ? Queried our friend from the South of Johns Hopkins and Oberlin College. judged from the fact of the leaf, I should say a Pluto-cracy, surely. Darkness grew thicker around them, dread forms loomed up in the dim light, Vengeance and Fear and Disease and Want and the snaky-locked F uries. Oh, they will take me! they'll take me! Vifhy did I ever leave Deutschland ? VVhat will become of the kinder? and Mamma, I know she will miss me. Bravely he kicked at the nearest, but thrust through the vapory figure, - Startled to see his foot on the other side of the shadow.

No, my innocent reader, kicking at air was not novel, Rather his usual pastime, his favorite sport and diversion 3 Even to strike through a shade was more satisfaction than often. Santa they lost in the darkness. Last seen he was busily trying , 180 Shadows to catch with the X-rays, but nevera shadow- graph got he 5 Found a material lack, I fear, in the subjects be- fore him. . Charon was mild and polite when they boarded his Stygian ferry, Showed him the gold they had plucked from the leafy grove by Avernus. . Gold is the basis down here, remarked one who was versed in the subject. Wonder what Bryan will do, guess he sficks when he gets to this riverf' Now, when they stepped from the boat, the leaky and grimy old rowboat, H That isn't worth any fare, they conferred 'mongst themselves and decided, Slipped the gold leaf out of sight to be used in the future when needed. Cerberus next must be passed, H 'Tis a cake that we needf' quoted Judy, ff ' Melle soporatam et medicatis frugibus offamf Let me address the good beast, said Prexy, with courage undaunted, He is a reasoning creature and needs but a word to explain things. Q Then I am sure he will gladly assist and agree with us fully. There he was left by his comrades to talk to the three-headed monster, Fill his six ears with such strong words, such argu- ments, so overwhelming, Danger from him would be routed while they went on with their journey. Hercules was as naught beside this one, or Orpheus, or all of the others, Pondered the dog in his mind, triply revolving the matter. Meanwhile the others had met adventures to suit e'en the boldest. Wraiths from a corner of Hades had wrathfully risen together, Ghosts pf puns of past years resolved to punish their s ayer, Chased Dr. Pepper with speed far out toward the sluggish Cocytus. Who is afraid shouted he, of your puny strength ? ' but he sprinted Straight toward a small rocky point, obligation's ulti- mate ground, termed, Where he felt sure none would care to infest his refuge and safety. Bayley tapped round at the rocks, rejoicing to find with his hammer Sulphurous compounds unknown in Maine or on Michigan borders. Stetson had met Aristides, who claimed to be just from Athens 5 Falsely, of course, for he knew naught of Crete or the Concert of Powers, Asked what the Persians were doing. Did walls still reach to Piraeus? Plainly from him there was nothing of profit to learn, and so Gorgias Turned his attention above, to a root that seemed interesting. Yes, 'twas a verb he had sought for in vain in regions less buried, Rooted, he found, down in Hades. Ah I would they were all in the same place ! Teddy sat down with old Pliny to ask where his lost books had gone to 5 ISI Euclid soon cornered Cosine, in an angle they chatted together. Seated on top of a fog bank that rose from Phlege- thon's waters, Fearing no cold on his lungs, his shadowy lungs, was Lucretius, List'ning to Billy, who told him of molecules, bonds, and of atoms, While from the shades and their torments Judy was gaining suggestions, Hints for the conference board, admired Rhadaman- V thus' proceedings, Thought suspension popular here from the dangling forms all around him. Rob was the happiest, though, right in his element surely, . Nursing his Plutonic friendship at the feet of the king of the region, -fi? I,. Talking of what they'd accomplished, discussing new means and methods. Suddenly, all through the kingdom rose shouts and cries of vexation, Bored are we with these callers, they'll waste us to shades of our shadows Talking so much and so drylygu but loudest of all was Ixion, I Claiming his torture enough without this new impo- sition. All interested in wheeling, they'd told him, but May all rode safeties. Angrily rose the grim monarch to calm his irascible subjects. Out of this place, all ye strangers, I've mercy enough on my people, Pity enough for their woes not to burden their souls with new torments. Go, and ne'er darken our portals, gold leaf or not, till you're sent for. Sadly they brought to an end their talks full of pleas- ure and profit. Black was the most loath to leave, to break off the thread of his discourse. ' I-Ie'd gone to work with a system, to start with the Hrst man created, Follow them down in their course and notice in all lines their progress, Now he had reached only Adam, had learned who his mother-in law Was. How should he now ascertain Aclam's subsequent life and the othersl? Out through the ivory gate found they their way as directed. f' This is,I think, what I heard in the words of the song that I mentioned, Sighed Dr. Warren, as slowly they climbed to regions terrestrial, Something I thought then they sang about leaving those realms by compulsion.

MERRILL, Manager 731 and 732 Tremont Temple Colby, 783 WHAT COLBY GRADUATES SAY BOSTON J. E. Burke, Super inten dent of Schools, Lawrence, Mass.:--'tln all my dealings with P. I. Merrill, of the Beacon Teachers' Agency. I have found him courteous. gentlemanly, straightforward and altogether reli- able. It is safe to follow his advice and put confidence in hisjudgment. He recommends candidates with caution and serves his clients faithfully. I would have no hesitancy in engaging a teacher upon Mr. Merrill's endorsement. NV. K. Wfhittlo, Superintendent of Schools, Westerly, R. I.:- I can heartily recommend the Beacon Teachers' Agency to school ofiicials and teachers. Having had dealings with Mr. Merrill, the manager, I can say that he is very considerate in the number of candidates recommended and judicious in their selection. Superintendents applying to him for teach- ers can be sure that they will not be flooded with applications. Chas. B. Wilson, Profe-sor of Biolfrgy, State Normal School, West- field, Mass.-' ' I consider that the Beacon 'l'eachers'Agency is, without excep- tion, the best managed agency with which I am acquainted. The reasons for this opinion are as follows: I have been connected with several agen- cies and know from actual experience that the manager of the Beacon Agency takes more pains to become thoroughly acquainted with those who have registered in his agency than any of the other managers with whom I have had dealings. He endeavors to ascertain, if possible, just what a teacher desires for a position, and whether they are capable of filling such a place or not I consider this to be the true work of an agency manager, but most of them tall far short of it, and, with the exception of Mr. Merrill, none that I have inet have shown any real effort or desire to attain unto it. Mr Merrill then endeavors to find the right place for his teacher, and in this he has been eminently successful. I consider his method of notify- ing but two or three teachers, these always being the ones whom he con- siders best qualiiied, of any given position, to he far superior to the methods employed in other agencies, and I am confident that school boards and superintendents appreciate such a rational method far better than we who are teachers. Albert Robinson, Superintendent of Schools, Warren, Mass.-'R In my dealings with the Beacon Teachers' Agency I have found that the man- agement recommends to positions only such candidates as are qualified for the same and are likely of election This is a source of confidence and satisfaction, both to teachers and employers of teachers. I heartily com'-uend the business integrity of Mr. Merrill and his de- sire to serve faithfully his patrons. C. F. Leadhetter, Principal Berlin High School, Perlin, N. H.:- I have had relations with Mr. P. I. Merrill, of the Beacon Teachers' Agency, extending over some years and have uniformly found him courte- ous and helpful, a man of sound judgment and common sense. on whose advice it is always safe to relv. I believe he labors conscientiously for the best interests of teachers and schools. Chas. P. Barnes, A.M.. Principal of High School, Attleboro, Mass.:- After much unsatisfactory experience with teachers' agencies, n VII it was my good fortune to register with P. I. Merrill, of The Beacon Teach- ers' Agency, in November, 1896. On january 4th following, I began work in my present position as a direct result of his efforts in my behalf. Why is his agency the best? Because he looks a man up thoroughly, has practical knowledge of the requirements of the field, recommends only one or two candidates for any vacancy, and inspires a feeling of con- fidence in teachers and school authorities alike. C. L. Juddkins, Principal of High School, Oxford, Mass.:-- It gives me pleasure to be able to recommend the Beacon Teachers' Agency as one which is square and straightforward in all its dealings, and one'which candidates can depend upon to do its best for them. Not being run on the plan of the survival of the fittest, its notices are reliable and limited to a few good candidates, those who best fill the requirements of the place, and in the long run this plan of procedure must necessarily succeed. E. L. Getclxell, Principal of High School, Lubec, Me :--'lln my estimation, the Beacon leads all other New England agencies. I have found Mr. Merrill, its manager, courteous and gentlemanly in all his dealings, prompt and energetic in his management, and devoted to the interests of all who enter the Beacon Agency. The value of his work is shown by the fact that, to my own knowledge. he secured more and better positions for the Class of '96 at Colby than did all the other agencies coni- bined. I can honestly and heartily endorse the Beacon Teachers' Agency and its genial manager. Harry W. Dunn, Principal of Academy, Monson, Me.:- I tal-ze genuine pleasure in expressing my, appreciation of the character of the Beacon Teachers' Agency. My experience has satisded me that your agency can be relied upon for prompt and valuable information, timely suggestions, and active personal interest in each individual case. In all these qualities I have found it superior to any other that I have tried, and I can recommend it especially to all graduates of Colby who are desirous of securing teaching positions. Wellington Hodgkins, Principal High School, South Dennis, Mass :- Teachers wishing the services of a Bureau will rind it to their advantage to employ Mr. Merrill, of the Beacon Teachers' Agency. Mr. Merrill deals mainly with school officials direct, and his notifications are reliable. I cordially recommend him. W. L. Jones, Principal of the High School, Milbridge, Me.:- I have always found Mr. P. I. Merrill, of the Beacon Teachers' Agency, cour- teous, stratghtforward and active in advancing the interests of his patrons. The position I now hold was secured through his recommendation. W. C. Burnham, Commercial Department, High School, Brain- tree, Mass.:- I cannot speak too highly of the Beacon Teachers' Agency, so ably conducted by Mr. Merrill. For prompt and etiicient service, cour- teous treatment, ability and tact to find the right man for the right place. this agency is unexcelled and offers superior advantages to teachers seek- ing positions.

Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. For bruises, strains or muscular lameness it most certainly is all you claim for it. Wishing' you con- tinued success H. S. CORNISH, Athletic Manager Boston Athletic Assn. In practice, as in professional rowing, strains and overworked muscles are not uncommon, which your Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is well calculated to relieve promptly. I gladly add my indorsement of it to the many you could no doubt obtain if you wish from professional oarsmen. J. J. CASEY Ihave used y0ur Johnson's Anodyne Liniment with much satisfaction. Baseball players should all use it. Infact, among professional athletes a good rub down with the old Anodyne after a lively spurt of any kind will prevent many a sore muscle and stiff joint I sincerely believe. WM. EWING Manager and Captain New York Ball Club Ihave used your Anodyne Liniment during' the past few years for removing stiffness of the muscles after long rides and have never found anything to do the work so quickly and effectively. I have also used it very successfully for muscular rheumatism. J. J. FECITT, President of the Roxbury Bicycle Club. Well-known Bicycle Rider Unlike any Other For Still Joints, Lameness and Sureness of any kind I have known of your Johnson's Anodyne Lini- ment being used with much satisfaction for so-ne time. Probably among athletes no severer' test could be applied than in the numerous departments of the gymnasium. J. H. CLAUSEN, Champion Jumper Boston Athletic Association Having used Johnson's Anodyne Liniment on a friend who was suffering with Lumbago with good re- sults, I recommend it to any one in need of a good Iiniment. WM. CORCORAN, Cycle Trainer, Boston Working certain muscles more than others causes muscular soreness which should be attended to at once. I cheerfully endorse Johnson's Anodyne Lini- ment, and have found it invaluable for removing sore- ness caused by being in various athletic games, and our members use it extensively for the same purpose. WM. J. CASEY, Vice Pres. Trimount Athletic Club Your Johnson's Anodyne Liniment I nnd to be the most valuable of any I ever used. I had a strained cord that bothered me for four years. I did not rind any relief until I used your valuable Liniment. WM. MILLS Champion Sprinter of New England. Superior to any Other Honest Competition we will meet half way.

'ff A D '2 N .g V : s K y , l . ,A e r. fe ia l ll re aa The undergraduate or the new-ftealgect alumnus who reads this was in the primary school when we first conceived the idea, years ago, that the schoolbook: lying discarded and dusty on everybody's shelves, or unfor- gotten in closets and garrets, ought to be rescued from premature oblivion, and made to continue their usefulness in this already too expensive world - -prolonging their own lite, and at the same time saving dimes and dollars to many a needy student. To-day every student and every teacher knows, and we want every parent to learn, that no schoolbook should be thrown away until we have been given a chance to appraise it. Everyone knows, too, that we can supply promptly, and at New York prices, any schoolbook of any publisher -probably second-nunu' it desiredg surely new it we happen to be out of second-hand. More than that, we stand the postage or else we prepay the expressage. Swittness, courtesy, and fair prices make up our golden rule, and we bestow the same careful considera- tion upon the boy or girl in the remote hamlet who wants one book in a hurry, that we give to the bookseller who has his whole town to supply. .Any school board, any school official, any teacher will find it not only to his convenience, but to his profit, to treat with us because we are not only at the schoolbook center QNew Yorkj, but are omfselves the schoolbook neun'- gnuffters, thus ensuring the two great desiderata, discounts and despatch, not to mention the credit-allowance on old books consigned to us for exchange. Then, again, we ourselves publish one hundred and twenty-tive Translations fthe Latin, the Greek, German, and French classic writers jr, and a dozen-and-a-half Dictionaries of the ancient and modern languages, so that we have come to be considered the one sure clearing-house for any translation or dictionary. We also publish question-and-answer books, civil-service guides, speakers, class records, and other specialties for teachers, besides the three-hundredgodd volumes of the University Tutorial Series which comprises text-books -fwith the unique Teachers' Editions, separatej covering thoroughly Greek, Latin, French, English, the sciences, mathematics, mechanics, history, ethics, logic, etc., etc. These Tutorial text-books are designed for sincere and thorough work, and are the production of .sincere men whose exclzzsztfe bzzsz'1zer.v has been and is to lit students for the severe tests of the London University. The intention of the ,publishers is,t0jiZZ the bill, not to rival other series. Yet many competent instructors tell us that the Tutorial books do surpass all other-s, both editorially and typographically. Conplete Zzlvtfree on njJp!z'cutz'a2z.
