Here a deep cavern discharged X-i y from a narrow oriflce a vapor which so powerfully affected ,K the brain of those who came within its influence that it ' I S caused them to become inspired and utter prophecies. 'J ' F' The fame of this place soon spread abroad, until finally above that rocky cavern there arose a beautiful temple to Apollo, adorned by the greatest sculptors, painters and architects that Greece could produce. Beau- tifled and enriched by gifts from all parts of the Grecian world, this temple held within its walls the treasures of state and individual. The Grecian colonist, far from his home-land, never forgot the oracle, but contined to send into the Delphic treasury his harvest tithe in gold-the golden summer. ' VVithin the adyton of this fair temple the seer Pythia, thrown into an ecstatic fury by -the influence of the vapor, uttered the words and cries interpreted by the priests as the answers of Apollo. The Rock of Delphi was held to be the centre of the earth's surface, and certainly in a social and religious sense this was the case for all the Grecian world. Delphi was the knot wherein every strand of civilized life were united. Hither came all those who were in anxiety, doubt, and distress, to go away comforted and enlightened by the utterances of the Oracle. In the progress of Grecian history, as religious and intellectual thought developed, there was a progressive development in the character of the Oracle. It sought to avert all disputes between the tribes, and to compose existing differences. Hence there was an old Hellenic law that one state should not em- ploy the Oracle against another. Gradually the Oracle became the guiding in- fluence in Grecian progress, the centre of the' Amphictionic league, and perhaps the most powerful influence in promoting that ideal unity of the whole which floated always before the Grecian mind. Inscribed within the court of the Delphic temple were the two profound II aphorisms which included the Whole mystery of the Apolline Ethics: Know Thyselff' and Measure in All Things. - As priests of Apollo, interpreters of the Oracle within old Colby's walls, our work is done, and yet we-fain would linger in these fair-wrought halls. It cannot be, for other priests will soon put on the sacred vestments we have laid aside. From the temple to the people we must go. W'e fear them not, for we have done our best to keep the ancient laws. Those laws just and commend- able in the days of Solon, Thales or Epimenides, are no less just and com- mendable to-day. And we have sought to follow them. Ever bearing in mind the Apolline command Know Thyselif' we have endeavored by a few well-meant suggestions to cause you all to see yourselves as others see you, but in so doing we have carefully observed the second maxim, Measure in All Thingsf' And so we believe that if we have interpreted the utterances in all sincerity .and truth, if we have not used the Oracle tribe against tribe, if We have sought to com- pose all differences and avert disputes, if we have ev.er aimed at an ideal unity and brotherhood among our fellows, then, and only then, have we done well the work assigned us. ,q But how is it with you, sons and daughters of Colby? You, too, have your duties to perform. Have you in piety and love adorned old Colby's templed walls as did those men of old? Have you, Oh Alumnus, when Fortune smiled, brought to Colby in return for her good counsels, the golden summer and laid it lovingly, willingly, upon 'her shrine? Have you all sought by every means in your power to raise here a grand temple of learning, and make Colby the centre of the Maine college world? If so, you may scan our work and cri-ticise our shortcomings. But, if per- chance your duty is -not yet done, see to it that your debts are all discharged be- fore you lay your finger on this work, and say, Herein have they failed. ear I2 PHI ...... THETA ....

Executive Com mittee: Committee on Odes: 52 s Hlsromv, '95, MEN. sie , HE four years we have spent at Colby have been most pleasant ones to us. Q, We know we are better for having been here, and we hope that some day I 'gags our Alma Mater will beam with pride because she reckons '98 men among r : 'Q her children. The years have been filled with work, hard and easy. Some E of our ties of friendship have knit closer than those of brothers are wont .. . to do, and others have-Unit. Even the dingy class rooms, with their dust and perplexingaproblems, have been congenial to Cupid, and we know that those who are now bachelors must ever remain so. There have been brilliant charges of horse and weary marches for the plodding' infantryf, sharp conflicts with German, and French irregulars, and patient listening to ancient orations and sickening love songs. Now and then a hero has fallen, just to make the sham battle more like life, but the fatal cuts have been few. 'We have had our games and frolics, our outings and exits, and-our defeats. 'Now we must leave it all and cast ourselves on a hard, selfish world, to make or be broke. The quiet alcoves of the library, now so familiar, where we have dreamed away many an afternoon amid the vast thoughts of great men, while the river glided softly by at the foot of the willows and the blue haze lay upon the distant hills, shutting us into our own little world, shall know us no more. Into this solitude the sounds of busy life come but faintly, while from out the lengthening shadows many a time and oft the cold, pure features of a marble Milton have gleamed, inspiring us to renewed and stronger efforts. Then the old familiar class rooms. How they teem with recollections! The old settees, battered and cut with the knives during tedious recitations, how they make us think! I-Iere's the very seat we first occupied. 'What an hour that was! There by the window is our last sedate Senior armchair. Here is one where we flunked in especially stupid style, and there is one where we starred Can we ever forget the experiences of those old chairs! To the many legends carved upon them we have added ours, and now we must leave them to other hands. Now the old room. Ah! the old room. VVhat a rare place it is! What trophies hang upon its walls! Dear old den, what a treasure box you are! There upon that bunk, ere slumber's chains have bound, the Freshman has conquered homesickness, disappointment and grief, while his Senior mate snorecl out the sleep of the just beneath him. There upon the carpet by the door are the identical stains of Sophomoric water. There upon the mantel cluster the mementos of many a former pleasure-bits of Colby gray, a withered flower, small links that bind us to the past. By and by, when time shall have cast its halo of rev- erence about them and made them priceless-but it is enough. Let them go. The mee mentoes, the clubs and foils, gloves and horns, make the college room the college boy's delight. But it is the associations that reach his heart and make him loath to leave. From off the river the wind is blowing wild and free. In the old room, by the light of the old lamp, we dream dreams of what's to be. VVe fancy the scenes of the old places when we are gone. When we are gone. Ah! l1Vhat a thought! Turn up the lamp, flood the old den with light, that we may see each familiar sight. Bring out the banjo, that we may sing the old songs in the old way once moreg let the old yell ring lustily through the halls once againg let the old horn's hoarse voice wake the echoes, for to-morrow we say good- bye. Fair Colby, mother dear, we turn to you for your parting blessing. We must now depart, but you shall remain steadfast, pure, eternal. May you ever prosper and strengtheng may we be ever loyal in the future as in the past. Fair Colby, mother dear, farewell. l 53 QIQJSS of '98, R33 WOMEN. CLASS YELL:-'AAaAd! dmiuil dmmil , vfmy Sour!

And behold I stood in a certa111 place 111 which were many .--ff, E dens. And the name of the one was called North College, and of 'lit 5, Q another South College, of another Ladies' I-Iall, and there were ,' by yet others. In these dens were divers young men and maidens, and ,K trouble was depicted O11 the faces of all of them. 1 ,fm fig 54' Now, I saw in my dream that each one held in his hand a book. and ever and anon would burst into tears and cry, VVhat shall I do? And I asked them, saying, 'KWl1at do ye here and why are ye so exceeding sorrowlul?'l And they said, We go on a journey. For the lord of all the earth, whose name is Prex, hath said unto us, 'Ye must all go on a journey, a11d at tl1e end of it ye shall come to the mount wl1icl1 is called Graduation, and there will I give unto every one of you a roll, which is called Diploma, and with this roll in your hand shall ye do wonders. But First must ye go on this journey which I tell you of. There are many lions a11d evil beasts in the way, whereat ye shall be greatly af- frighted, and many giants which are called Profs. And these shall do you grievous in- jury. For they will Hunk you and try to cut you out. But be strong and of good cour- age, and ye shall all surely come to the l1oly mount whicl1 is called Graduation' There- fore are we here. And I saw on my dream that they did travel O11 this journey, and did have many adventuresy both pleasing and 'protitable, and did l1ave many combats with tl1e sons of Belial and with tl1e giants, tl1e Profs, and they came out victorious in all. And they did receive many cheering words from the lord Prex. But I saw in my dream that they came to a certain place in the way, which was nar- row. And they looked before them, and lo, there was a roaring lion in the way, and his name was Chemistry, and with tl1e lion was fierce giant and his son. And the giant's name was Bhil, and his son's name was Pah. And I saw in my dream that the pilgrims were sore afraid. And they did burn much midnight oil in tl1e vain hope of appeasing Bhil. and on a day tl1ey went up to do battle against the lion and the giant, and they slew the lion, and Bhil did flee. Then did the pilgrims rejoice greatly at the destruction of the lion called Chernistry. But not many days after they came to another narrow place, and, behold, there was Bhil again with another lion, a smaller one, called Physiology. But the pilgrims no longer feared Bhil and his lions, and they went up and slew the lion, a11d again Bhil did Hee. And I saw in my dream that they came to an 'exceedingly pleasant place, which was called I-Iallow E'en. Here the maidens did summon the youths to a merry-making. And they did all come together and spend the time in propounding of riddles, in telling of tales, in singing and dancing. Then tl1ey did separate, with many good wishes for the outcome of their journey. Now they came by a land which is called Beulah. This is considered by many a very beautiful country. But I have seen that those who visit this country go in by pairs, a youth and a maiden together, and those who go in seldom come back to the straight road. They forget the holy hill of Graduation, and wander off to the city of College Engage- ments, a city which tl1e inhabitants greatly love while they dwell there, but afterwards they learn to curse it and wish they had never bee11 there. For while the men and women who go there expect some time to get to tl1e city of Matrimony. tl1ey ind tl1e road thither from the city of College Engagements very hard to follow, and few find it. Now, I have seen with great sorrow many pilgrims wander off into the land of Beulah and the city of College Engagements, especially of those bands of pilgrims called the '98 Band and the '96 Band, but I saw with pleasure that but one of tl1is band, ,QQ Band, of which I have been speaking, had reached the ,city of College Engagements, and he was one who l1ad once been a member of the '98 Band. I was sorry to see, however, that a few others were in- clined to walk much in the land of Beulah. And I saw a11d behold they came to a high hill, tl1e which is called Junior Spring I-Iill, and from here they could see the beautiful Mount of Graduation. And some were glad Wl'1E':1l they thought that there troubles would. soon end, and they would be given the roll. and some were sorrowful for that the many joys which they had experienced on the jour- ney should soon end. And so I awoke, and, behold, it was all a dream. 57 QlGI55 of WOMEN. CLASS YELL:-yRal1!

The very first thing that I notice-a battered and bent scrap of tin, Takes me back to the day well remembered, I struggled that relic to win. The day we accepted their challenge-in truth a most arrogant one, And taught the proud Sophomores base-ball, by beating them fourteen to one. I open a crisp invitation, and then in my fancy I see A vision of radiant damsels, all anxiously waiting for me, WVhile I in the meantime do battle, got up in my festive array, XfVith foes who lay hands on my person, and fain would conduct me away. I read the account in the journal how the town of Shovvhegan we did, Wfhen we went on our glorious exit, to visit the home of the Kid, Re-telling adventures as Freshmen, with feasting and toasting and song, Cementing the bonds of our union,and making them steadfast and strong A flow'r from the sweet Messalonskee-how pleasant to drift on its tide, To gaze on the beauteous landscape, and-beauty in Nature besides, To waive, in the still of the wood stream, the toil and the tumult of life, To waive, as on banks of the Lethe, corroding contention and strife.

K IIS I Y ,X N the history of college activities there has been no move- fav'-U W A ment more signiicant than that, which, during the last decade, has led to the establishment of annual debates be- ! fcvggla tween neighboring or even distant educational institutions. KG jjbf' Heretotore the rivalry existing between colleges has shown fl X71 K T .il M ,ek Tl itself only in an appeal to muscle, and the relative powers . K of the colleges have been measured by the achievements of Q ' the 'athletes only. In such contests, mental training, the special work of the colleges, counted for nothing, while physical training, the peculiar work of the gymnasium, was everything. Hence it is that educators have so warmly weloorned intercollegiate debating and have offered every in- ducement to its rapid development. Such contests require, besides some prac- tical knowledge of oratory, prolonged mental training, such as can promote accurate and careful analysis, clear perception, exaot discrimination and force- ful and persuasive statement. Here, as nowhere else, will the methods and efh- ciency of the respeotive instiitutiions be shown. ' ' f- y T -Colby has only recently begun to realize the importanceuot this kind of activity and to place herself in line with her sister colleges. When the present graduating class entered college, debating was practically dead. To be, sure there was held an annual Junior debate, so-called, but this had become little more than a farce, and was productive of no good results, The first sign of awakening vigor was seen in the establishment, 'by the class of 1898, ofa Sophomore debate, a contest which was very creditable to all the contestants. Soon after arrange- ments were made for an annual college debate, and this was foll-owed by the organization of a debating society, which held meetings at regular intervals. The annuval debate with Bates beoame a ixed thing, and men were chosen for it, as for all other oontests, on the basis of work done. For two years the de- cision of the judges was adverse to Colby, but on March 4, 1898, her team won a decisive victory, and gave to Colby's debating interests their proper place among college iaotivities. To the three men who have so ably represented us for fthe past two years, too much credit cannot be given. To them, as to no other three men, is due the present Hourishing condiltion of our debating interests. Through their splendid work IColby'has attained an enviable position on the college rostrum, which it remains for succeeding classes to guard and maintain. That their places will be wvell filled there can be no doubt, for the contagion has spread to the fitting schools, Coburn, Hebron, Ricker and Houlton, and a series of debates has been held among these schools during the present year. Thus, there are hopes that each year will bring to the college more trained men, who will be welcomed no less warmly than the iaithletes, and Whose work is destined 'to be far more valuable and appreciated in the coming decade than in the past. -2:45 Xilfffff, I 51, , fri V' - Va- ' ' .-T. 5' , - ' '- IIQ MUSICAL + W, 1 X ff' wfwj f f W? 1- ww f ' V 7 f' 'ia'-.i2::::: '. mm W I i J fig?

ELIJAI-I PARISH LOVEIOY. N the eighth day of last November was dedicated, in Alton, mt . T341 Ill., a monument in honor of a Maine man, a graduate of 6. 'Waterville College. Other men renowned in war, in states- 9 'NX manship, in literature have been similarly honored by the X generations which have followed them, but this man was 'nab neither a warrior, a statesman, nor a man of letters. I doubt ki'4'x57 l if there can be found another monument which means to the people who erected it what the Alton monument means to the people of our country. If the nation holds in tender remembrance the memory of Lovejoy, his Alma Mater should be proud to lay her humble wreath on his tomb. Elijah Parish Lovejoy was born in Albion, Me., in 1803. His father, Rev. Daniel Lovejoy, was a man of very limited means, and it was with difficulty that he gave his sons a liberal education. But the sons were made of the right material, and they became prominent as men. One of them, joseph, became eminent as a clergyman, and Gwen was for several years a Representative in Congress from Illinois. The oldest son, Elijah, was graduated from VVaterville College in 1826. Of his six class-mates, three became physicians, two lawyers, and one a business man. After graduating, Lovejoy went to Missouri and became an editor. That was in the darkest period of American history. The South was ruling the land. She claimed the negro by Divine right, and the North yielded to her claims. The Northern press had had been muzzled, the Northern voice E' QI t, -UM 147 well-nigh silenced. john -Quincy Adams had been hissed in the halls of Con- gress, XVilliam Lloyd Garrison had been dragged with a rope about his neck through the streets of Boston. Such were the times that few dared oppose slavery. There were, however, a heroic fewg one of the bravest was Lovejoy. I-Iis was the warfare not of a fanatic but of a Christian, a philanthropist, a man. The hatred of the South, the ridicule of the North, he feared not. Duty to his country and to his God was his only guide. Qbloquy and insult were heaped upon him, persecution and suffering fol- lowed him, but he remained true to his convictions. At length he was com- manded to be silent. To-day We can hardly believe that liberty of speech, our most sacred birthright, was ever denied an American citizen. Lovejoy's reply to that infamous demand is worthy of immortality, As long as I am an Amer- ican citizen, as long as American blood flows in my veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write and publish whatever I please, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same. From that moment his steps were dogged by day and by night, his family was threatened with violence, and was finally driven from the city. I-Iis print- ing office was broken into and his property destroyed. But his voice had not been silenced. I-Ie went across the river to Alton, Ill., and there continued his warfare, but persecution and malignity followed him. Three times was his office broken into, three presses were thrown into the Mississippi. I-Ie was a citizen of the free State of Illinois, that State refused to protect him. New England, whose soil was dedicated to freedom by the Puritan fathers, only laughed at his entreaties. ' - I To show his bravery we need picture but one scene from his troubled life. One night, on his way home with medicine for his sick wife, he was met by a crowd of ruffians. When the leaders were sure it was he, the cry was sent out, It is the damned Abolitionistg rail himg tar and feather him. The mob, en- raged and infuriated, surrounded Lovejoyg he had no doubt that their threats were to be carried out. Gentlemen, said he, I have one request to make, my wife is at home dangerously sick. If you will send one of your men to take the medicine to her, and not alarm her, I will go with you. A man was sent, and the mob started with Lovejoy. They had gone but a few rods when the leader stopped. I can never do violence to such a brave and noble man, he said, and the mob dispersed. In such trials other men would have given up in despair, but not Lovejoy. Though friendless and alone, the fury of the mob, the threats of tar and feathers and of assassination could not' silence him. I-Ie had seen every human instinct trampled upon in the name of slavery. I-Ie had seen ne-groes burned at the stake in the streets of his adopted city, and he could not be silenced. At a public meeting we see him. in the midst of his persecutors, with the tears streaming down his cheeks. I-Ie pleads with them for justice, he pleads that they have mercy on his afflicted wife. I 148 I-Ie asked them to point to a single man whom he has harmed or wronged, to a single law which he has violated or abused. VVhy, then, is he not allowed to go to his home at night without being assailed, threatened with tar and feath- ers and assassination? VVhy is his afflicted wife driven night, after night, from a sick bed to the garret to save herself from the brickbats and violence of the mob? And at the mention of his tender wife, hunted like a partridge on the mountains, strong man though he is, he again bursts into tears. After a mo- ment he continues, I know that you can tar and feather me, hang me up, or throw me into the Mississippi, but what then? I have sworn eternal opposition to slavery and by the blessing of God Iwill never go back. If the civil author- ities refuse to protect me, I must look to God, and if I die I am determined to make my-grave in Alton. 'We can almost believe that, as he uttered such words, the death agonies of McIntosh, burning at the stake in the streets of St. Louis, were ringing in his ears. Nlfhere can be found in all history a nobler example of heroism and brav- ery? Some have likened him to Martin Luther before the Diet of VVormsg but part of the nobility of Germany supported Luther. Others have likened him to Paul before Pestusg but Paul was a Roman citizen and Imperial Rorne pro- tected her subjects. This man stosod alone, his country refused to protect him. That speech was his last speech, his dying appeal. I-Ie went from that meet- ing a doomed man. A few nights later death, threatened for so long, came. W'ith a few sympathizers he was guarding a new press stored in a warehouse. A mob surrounded the building and set it on fire. As the flames rose, Lovejoy opened the door and stepped out in full view. In an instant his body was rid- dled with bullets, and he fell at the feet of his comrades dead. Elijah P. Lovejoy was dead. I-Iis last editorial against slavery had been written, his last appeal had been made. The battle was ended and slavery was triumphant. A resolution was offered to the Illinois Legislature assuring the South that the people of Illinois had no sympathy with the fanatic who had per- ished at Alton. Only one man in that body, an ungainly youth from the country, dared oppose that resolution. Thirty years later that man was Presi dent of the United States, and signed the Emancipation Proclamation. But the triumph of slavery was short. In life Lovejoy wrote with but one pen, spoke with but one tongue. In death he wrote with a thousand pens, spoke with a thousand tongues. I-Iis words reached the remotest corner of the landg they aroused the entire nation. Lovejoy died as a fool dies, said the Attorney-General of Massachusetts at a crowded meeting in Faneuil I-Iall. A slender youth gained the platform, and, amid hisses, replied to that statement. 'When, said he, I heard the gen- tleman lay down principles which place the murders of Alton side by side with Otis and Hancock, with Quincy and Adams, I thought those pictured lips Cpointing to the portraits on the wallj would have broken into voice to rebuke the recreant American, the slanderer of' the dead. ' That was the first speech of Vlfendell Phillips. I-Ie had scoffed at Abolitionists, he now became their i . 149 champion. He was only one of many to whom the murder of Lovejoy had been a revelation and an inspiration. One man had diedg thousands had been born. The bullet that pierced the heart of Lovejoy struck death to the institution of slavery. VVhat he had longed to do in life he had accomplished a thousand fold in death. For half a century he has slept in his lonely grave. The slave whom he loved and pitied has been freedg the liberty for which he died has been gainedg the resting place to which his lifeless form was borne through the jeers and hisses of the triumphant mob has become historic. Witli patriotic pride We point to the marble slab in our Memorial Hall and to the names of our country's de- fenders written there. Let us turn to the VVest, and point with pride and rever- ence to the towering shaft on the banks of the Mississippi and to the name writ- ten there-Lovejoy, the first great apostle of American freedom. iw W ! rf .629 Ave!

'wp n Wy UCIUS BRUTUS NEEDI-IAM was darning hose. This was 7 l - l nothing new for him. In his capacity oi a supply he had darned f , hose off and on ever since he had been in college, at ten cents , x ' off and five on for the p-air. Indeed, he preferred the natural ball I -':4 70 of the foot to the boughten stocking egg for clistending the orifice, on account of the pleasure afforded him in watching his victim kick against the p-ricks.. I-Ie chewed gum, as he worked, with the same precision and accuracy as he plied his needle, and his posture was one of utter abandon- ment. I-Iis own stockings on his shoeless feet, high in the air, were a ghastly advertisement, not -of what he had done, but of what he could do. Some one knocked. Needham pulled the string 'which hung just over his head and uniastened the door for a Fresh-man, who insinuated himself into the room, too lazy to open the door any farther than was absolutely necessary. - I-Iulloo, Lucy. Do put down your everlastin' knittin' work and help a teller, can't you? There's a good girl. I-Ie picked up Needhanrs truant ball and wound it up as he talked. ' I'Say, isiit true, he said, that you write articles on demand for the s-mall sum of twenty-five cents? 'KUnfortunately, it is, groaned Lucy. I never told a yarn in my life, though I have been considerably mixed up in it in my dayf, and he reached for an old account book. 4'Shall I take your measure now? Subject? Num- ber of words? For which department? Oh, it isn't for me, It's for Rawson. I-Ie's had to go off on the IO olclock with the team, you know, and he wants it done so he can go into the Lit. class as soon as he gets back to-morrow. Five hundred words on the Poetry of Nature. O, yes, I know just what will pull Rawso-n. There was a wicked smile playing about I..ucy's lips as he bent to his task, but it was nothing to the roars of laughter that went up the next day when R-aewison read his article. Every other word had been carefully commenced with -the one letter in the alphabet which Rawson could not pronounce. Rank and file it appeared down the lines. Of-hr-antastic, hr-abulous, hr-eakish, Rawson managed to convey some idea, but when he came to the phrase- for the forfeiture of a fractional fourth -Rawson's mouth opened, to be sure, but no sound issued-nothing but a groping, gasping silence, in which f's could be seen shooting out into space. V T54 And in the midst of his unholy minth, the Supply realized that he had lost a good customer. ' II. LOW. The Supply was Hmaking upu for the recitation in Greek Testament. It had come about like this. Bartlett had used up all his absence blanks and all his relatives. He had been 'fcalled home by deaths even to the third and fourth generations, and his cousins once, twice and thrice removed, had drifted into circulating decimals, and so on out into infinity. So that there was noth- ing for it but vthart he would have to die himself or ge.t a substitute -if he were to fail again to be in his place at recitations with no reasonable excuse. But he did want to go to that convention. So Lucy Needham must take his place. Now Bartlett had a very jungle of a moustache, and the Supply had matched it well. - n But, said he, HT had to buy out the hair store, and then they had to boil down an old hair-cloth sofa to get enough. Needham had 'prepared the advance and the review of the lessong old Dr. Ball-antrae was near-sighted, and the class was large. T.he Supply felt secure. He had begun to twirl his moustache and was following with heartrending eyes the girl whom Bartlett adored, when Dr. Ballantrae said in cheerful tones, Mr. Bartlett you may begin the review lesson, commencing with- l1Ve labor that whether present or absent-H . Absent, piped Lu-cy. And he refunded the money. 111. JACK. It was a beautiful Sunday, the first one in a month, lamented jackson, as he thought of the empty oontributionlboxes of the last three Sabbaths. jack- son had the toothache. It ached in that exasperaiting way teeth sometimes have. First it ached in front, then behind and then from all points of view. Now it danced and now it got down and crawled on all fours away round his mouth. It ached its way along the ridge pole. Then it sat down on the roof of his mouth and hun-g its feet off, kicking against the sides and hitting every tooth in his head. Under its inspiration jackson had been carrying on what might seem to an outsider devotional exercises for some time. It was surprising to see how much of the Scriptures jackson had at his tongue's end. His room-mate, Lucy Needham, danced around him with delight. Go it, Jack, you old missionary, he yelled. What's that, a bicuspid is it? It takes the toothache to bring 'em out, don't it? How you can swear, though! he burst out in admiration. Tt's a whole book of Revelvationf' The devout jackson rose up with his anger upon him. Here7s Acts, then, said he, as he began to discharge the various bottles of camphor, cocaine and other simple remedies on the approving Lucy's head. T55 O come, Jack,.do put up the vials of your wrath and listen to me, as you would to a father. Let me be the hireling shepherd to VV- to-day. I'll do it for one-half the profits-a mere song, the doxology not considered. So it came about that the congegation of VV- sat under the preaching of Lucy Needham, who read j'ackson's sermon and offered up a prayer taken al- most bodily from the Ten Cofmmandments and the twenty-third Psalm, which he had learned in his youth. . He returned to Deacon Parson's hous-e highly elated to prepare for the evening meeting. As he sat by the si-tting-room window looking out a car- riage drove u-p. Lucy watched the occufpanrts from where he sat. The young lady was very sweet. She was gowned in a beautiful shade o-f gray and blushed conventionally as she jumped from -the wagon, falling with wonderful accuracy into the upraised and cu-rling feel-ers of ia tall, gawky youth, planted firmly by the wheel. Lucy giggled behind the blinds. They looked like a bridal pair Awful thought! The Deacon had -a license, hu-t he was away from home 3 an approaching step and Mrs. Pars-ons ushered in the expectant pair, saying, Deacon Parsons ainft to hum, ubult here's our little minister who preached this morning. I 'spose i.t don't make no difference to you who performs the opera- tion, if he only couples ye togetherf' The little minister felt himself growing smaller and smaller as he quietly looked at the doublet for a moment -over his glasses. Then he said, Till get my Bible from my room, and ascended the stairs. A moment later the Supply was mak-ing his way homeward 'across the back lot of the Parsons to the station. 'fYou see, I had no license to preach, and it galled me to draw a check on a bank where I had no credit, said Lucy, in telling about it later. That girl was a peach, though! UI t-houghst they were a 'pear,' H punned Longley. 'iVV'ell, the Deacon has doubtless coupled 'em before this time, said Lucy, as he departed with what he called his w.idow's mite. IV. GAME. The sign which had hung so long on the dfoor of the Supply -was down. He who had been such a favorite and who was the funny bone among the members of the college was in disgrace both in his social and in his business relations.

' Astronomy in Colby Umveisity fi om 1886 until his death March 3 1 1898, neaily twelve ye'us Born at Waterford Conn Novem QL .Q ber 13, 1832, he came to Colby in the fulness of his powers, with ' . -, 4 an international reputation for scientific attainments, and from the first to the last hour of his connection with the university gave himself to its ser- vice with tireless and characteristic energy. His preparation for college began at De Ruyter Academy, in De Ruyter, N. Y., was completed in Alfred Seminary, of the same State, in 1854, at which time he entered the Sophomore Class in Brown University, where he graduated with the degree A.M. in 1857. For the thirteen years following he taught astronomy and mathematics in Alfred University, New York, where he built an observatory and thoroughly equipped it for practical work. Appointed assistant in the observatory of Har- vard College, in 1870, he was, in 1877, elected assistant professor of astron- omy for five years, and, at the expiration of this period, in 1882, was re-elected. After four years he resigned this position to take up his work in Colby Uni- versity. i VVhile at Harvard his special work was to observe the position of all stars down to the ninth magnitude, located in a belt of five degrees a little north of our zenith, and to map out these stars. This work was done under the auspices of the German Astronomical Society, which assigned thirteen like belts to dif- ferent observatories throughout the world,of which only two were in this country, the one at Harvard, the other in Albany, N. Y. Eleven years were required for the observations and fifteen for their reduction. The latter work was prose- cuted undcr Dr Rogerys fsupervision during his connection with Colby. In his early investigations with the transit instrument at Harvard, he found the micrometer spider webs too delicate for his observations. Failing to iind a spider whose web was sufficiently large, he began a series of experiments ex- tending through sixteen years, which resulted in earning for him an enviable reputation and making him a universally acknowledged authority in all that per- tains to micrometrical work. He found a substitute for the desired spider's web in the etched line which he cut with a steel point through a film made on the glass exposing the plate thus prepared to the fumes of hydrofluoric acid confined in a closed vessel. In connection with those experiments. he became specially interested in metrology, and turned his 'attention to the construction of comparators by which to determine readily and accurately differences in length and to establish 1 ILLIAM AUGUSTUS RGGERS was professor of Physics and 159. trustworthy standards of measurement for mechanical uses. The Rogers-Bond Universal Comparator was designed and constructed by him in connection with George M. Bond, of Hartford, Conn. Under the direction of and at the expense of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Professor Rogers visited London and Par-is, in 1880, for the purpose of obtaining authorized copies of the English and French standards of length, the Imperial yard and the Me-tre des Archives. These were the first copies brought to the United States, and have since been used by him as the basis of comparison for the bars which he has made and which have served as standards of length for Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton and other col- leges, as also for United States Signal Service, Lick Observatory, etc. An improvement even upon the Rogers-Bond was afterwards made by Dr. .Rogers and used in a series of experiments in his laboratory at Colby, undertaken in order to determine the laws governing the expansion and contraction of dif- ferent metals under variations of temperature where the mass is consideredf' The fact that, in order to obtain the absolute corrections of one of his mer- cantile thermometers, used in taking the temperature of a metal bar, he made 22,ooo comparisons of its scale with a known standard shows the infinite pa- tience and care which it was his wont to use in securing accuracy of results. He had a just pride in his refractometer, the only instrument of its kind and itself a monument to his inventive genius, by which he established with incom- parable accuracy the expansion of different metals, both in air and in vacuum. There are a great many who will recall the hearty courtesy and patience with which he exhibited and explained to them the structure and operation of this wonderful machine. Marvelously open to all new ideas, Dr. Rogers took the keenest interest in the X-rays as soon as their discovery was announced. He began at once a series of original experiments, prosecuted his investigations with all his fertility of invention, spared neither labor nor expense in this pursuit, and, although by sickness prevented from carrying through the work begun, attained results of which he was proud, and which he regarded as having the promise of greater future fruitf Dr. Rogers rarely took the pen save to record the results of his investiga- tions. He was a man of deeds rather than of words, and yet the total amount of his published writings is not inconsiderable. They cosnsist of about fifty papers, appearing in scientific journals as articles or as reports of the societies before which they were read. As examples of the recognition given to his merit, it is worthy of note that he received the degree of A.M. from Yale, of Ph.D. from Alfred University, of LL.D. from Brown, was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, a mem- ber of each of the following societies: The German Astronomical Society, The American Association for the Advancement of Science Cof which he was at one time Vice-Presidentj, and the American Society of Microscopists, of which he was once elected as President. A loyal member of the denomination of Sev- I6O enth-Day Baptists, that people appreciated his worth and were glad to do him honor. I VVhile to Colby University Dr. Rogers, as a scientist, rendered a service and gave a reputation which have been a matter of just pride and gratitude, he is held in not less esteem for his personal worth and for his influence in college, church and society as a man-a sincere, humble Christian, an open-hearted, large-hearted, true friend, broadly and intelligently sympathetic with all good causes, tolerant of the convictions of others, yet positive in holding, affirming and obeying his own, deeply interested in his students and self-sacrificing in their behalf, awake to all that affected the welfare of the Universityg as a com- panion, affable, sunny, social, genial, yet outspoken and true, loving God su- premely, his fellow men impartially, his country with a patriotism moved by service in the War of the Rebellion, his circle of intimate associates heartily, and his family as soul of his soul and life of his life, the world is far richer for his life, and his gracious influence will long abide as a heavenly benediction. .1-xgcfph , N fl xx QCP xg 'ly ..gl4X ggfggxlq 1-'V ,lk JN Q ,115 W Yi, X' i W sw YQ 54? ,M x dx f Xyf ,f LHS ,,fsX.m -2 xX.r+..

FLORENCE ELIzix1312'r1-1 DUNN, '96, 164 KING OLAP. 752.9293 The hills grew purple in the east, and the first rays of dawn fell upon the spars of the royal ships. King Olaf lay his heavy hand upon his sword's hilt and drew the sacred cross upon the sand. Triple reverence done, he bade the shipmaster climb the northern main, and watched the white sails stand out to sea beneath the glistening eye of morning. Thus he imposed upon all his peo- ple the cross of the Saviour King. The sunlight laughed over the waves and gleamed on his burnished armor. The breath of summer blew over sea and land, and earth was breaking into beauty. King Olaf turned to the temple to say his morning orison. There rich incense burned, as an early sacrifice, upon the altar, and sweet chimes were tinkling. Crossing himself, he knelt to the crucifix in the faint, rosy light of the tapers, and prayed once again for a curse upon his fathers' gods. X A maiden sat in a grotto near the temple, binding chaplets. She twined in the garland only the fairest of the Howers, for they must all be as fresh as the first breath of morning and as pure as the frosty rime. Did she wreathe them for Him who is fairer than the rose of Sharon, more beautiful than the lily of the valley? Ah, but listen, for she is singing, and it is a Runic lay. Her voice is soft and tender, for she loves her fathers' gods. The song that she sings is of Balder, the Beautiful, toward whom in summer-time the flowers turn their sweet chalices and for love of whom in winter even the rocks and stones weep. She chants the story of his death, the song of the mistletoe. Ah! this lament is the whole tenor of the maiden's heart. The tradition will be fulfilled at last. All her peo-pleis gods must pass away. Vtfoden and the temple of the hare must yield to other powers. Thor will vanish like the dew on the moun- tain. Balder, her own fair god, must die like the leaf that withers in autumn. 23 if if 51 ii bk X 254 The 'Kin.g, bent on pious thoughts, trod the rustic path from out the. 'tem- ple, but checked his step as a sweet song fell upon his ear, a song as light as the swallow that skims the river's brim, as sweet as the music that tunes the soul in happy dreams. But the marrow was chilled within him at the name of a Pagan god. That the fair maid should draw thence her inspiration seemed to him a cup of poison at the lips of beauty. His brow was drawn in an angry frown and he raised his hand in stern rebuke, for the voice that nature's gods had loved to hear had roused an angry heart. But -the curse was never spoken, a bright flash shot through the depths of the heavens and seared his blazing eyes. The sky frowned with heavy pillars of cloud and seemed a battle-ground of gods, that resounded with the roar of war. Dim and indistinct, but growing 165 clearer, a mighty hammer hung in the snowy thunder-caps, flashing eyes shot fire, terrible a-nger was imminent. Ah, it was Thor, the war-god, the protector, and this was the message: Yes, King Qlaf, it is all fine with the sun shining on it there, and the flowers springing in the grasses, but many a sorry d-ay had Thor before he could make it so, many a fight with the mountain giants, and now you put Thor away. Have you forgotten Balder, the Good, and Thor, the Mighty? King Qlaf, have a care! This was a moment when the still, small voice within is attuned to nature's teachings, when memory runs back in the path of time and plucks once more the blossoms of childhood, the violets and the lilies, free from care and full of hope. Then were sung again the Sagas of the Northern gods, -then were seen again in memory's eye their handiwork in thevalley and on the mountains. Then the heart that had forgotten its sweetest days swelled like the tide at flood and dr-owned the change of later years. Then, indeed, the strong man bowed himself and the keeper of the faith did tremble. But lo! above the rocking waters that lapped the sky were seen King Olaf's ships upon the shadow of a cloud. Like painted ships they kept their quiet way. Still waters were about them, and the Saint saw that their pilot was the Prince of Peace. And before the mirage had vanished a dove flew toward the en- chanted view, and careering on high, her breast was 'Alike silver and her feath- ers like yellow goldf, Man and maiden knew the lesson well. This, the trial of King Qliaf, , This, the last farewell of Thor, As the ships went sailing, sailing Northward on a summer sea. ' -HELENE HORTENSE BOWMAN, '99. QQ .

GEORGE BRIGGS, slim and slender, a classmate and devoted shadow of Bertha. JACK NICBIOLLS, large and athletic, a brother of Bertha, recently graduated from the Medical School. The scene is laid in the parlor of a home on College Avenue. The time is an evening in June. The curtain rises and shoiwls Bertha and George seated in close approximation on a small divan at the right of a large door hung with piortieres. . Bertha-Oh, George, I don't believe we can keep our engagement a secret any longer, -the girls plague me awfully! George-Do they, dear? Well, perhaps you donit think T've been urged to treat for the last month by everybody in the Bricks, but if you say so, vve'll have that little siol-itaire any time, and the Echo will have some news ito print between the ads. Bertha--No, sir! We've only been engaged two weeks anyway, and besides I aim determined that jack shan't know anything about i-t 'till every-body else does, anfd that musn't be till after we're graduated. He thinks he kno-was it all, and says I can't keep anything from him -that he can't find out.

I never heard the last of that. George-Neither did I. It was the only topic of conversation when I was around for six weeks after. Bentha-And I remember, too, the next year, when you took me up stream on one occasion. - George-Please drown that memory! Bertha-And you lost your oar overboard and your balance with it! I-Ia- ha, you looked awfully cute with your wet hair plastered down over your face. George-Cute! I had cutaneous shivers, and next morning acute bronchitis, I remember. But I can recall another pleasant occasion when you were learning to skate and threw us both with unnecessary emphasis on so-me very har-d ice, while the crowd cheered for an encore. I celebrated that event with a con- vivial bottle of-liniment. Bertha-There, aren't you horrid! You couldnlt skate yo-urself anyway.

COLE, '98 I7I GORDON FERRIE HULL,pPH.D. 2, '1'f' : 'if'-'fi'-2 ':2 ' f ' 'V' 'iff HE Oracle takes pleasure in welcoming to Colby the new pro- fessor in the Department of Phys-ics, Dr. Gordon Ferrie Hull. 1Q.':4 Mr. Hull is a young man just entering upon his career, '-,-, -', Q and he comes to us full of inspiration and energy, in love with his Work, and ready to impart that love to the students under his instruction. I 'ii' 'Q W' A'-'r' ': I The professor who last filled the chair of this depart- ment was a man of international reputation, so zealous a lover of science that he spared neither time nor strength in the pursuit, and it is eminently fitting that the work which Professor Rogers laid down should be carried on by one who brings to the task the same love and the same zeal, united to the strength and the ambition of youth. We believe that in securing the services of Dr. Hull, Colby has added a strong man to her corps of. instructors, and one who will do her honor both in the college and in his chosen line of study. The following is a brief summary of his work up to the time of his accept- ance of the chair of Physics at Colby: ' Q Mr. Hull's educational Work may be said to have commenced When. at the age of thirteen, after a year's study in the High School, he passed an examina- 172 tion qualifying him to teach in the public schools of Ontario. Not being per- mitted to teach at that age, he continued at High School, and, after tvvo years, he matriculated with first-class honors in mathematics. Throughout his course in Toronto University he ranked in first-class honor in mathematics and Phys- ics, both in class work and examinations. His university course was inter- rupted at the end of the sophomore year to permit him to take a course in the Ontario School of Pedagogy, from which institution he obtained a professional certificate allowing him to teach in the high schools and collegiate institutes of Ontario as a specialist in mathematics. After one year's teaching in the Collegiate Institute of Hamilton, Ontario, the institution in which he was pre- pared for college, he resumed his university course, and graduated, in '92, with the degree of BA. The next three years were spent in his Alma Mater in giving instruction in Physics. During this time he also acted as associate examiner in Physics in the Ontario departmental examination, and later served as examiner in Physics for the University of Toronto. ln the spring of ,QS he went to Chicago University to pursue graduate work. There he was Fellow, and later gave instruction in physics. His doc- tor's degree was taken in the spring quarter of '97, and about the same time he accepted the appointment to the chair of Physics in Colby. He continued giv- ing instruction in the University of Chicago until the end of March of this year. Even before graduation Mr. Hull became interested in the modern theory of light and electricity, and his reading and investigations have largely been in this field. He hope's that his life's Work may assist in the development of this the most interesting department of Physics. QE? 173 ' 'Il he House of Martha. .Q-K, T was in one of those New England towns, where from a diet of homely brown bread and doughnuts, are evolved souls dreamy, fanciful, supersti-tions, as the wlaxen Indian pipes steal forth like white shadows from out the dark compost of the soil- a place where the shake of a head contains more than a whole 464 QM ' seance and where a cross-eyed person is no less than a seer. 'U' There was, in fact, a boy here once whose wit in truith burned if 5 , 1 low, but since his eyes toed in he was held in awe by many. For who can tell what one sees whose regard rests never on the things of this earth? But Martha had two good eyes not at all peculiar, and yet they were so tender and brown, soft as the down on the thrush before the mating season. Nor was there anything peculiar about the House of Martha. They say that a home takes on the individuality of its ownerathat your house, like your life, is what you make it. But Martha did not make her's. It had come down to her from generations before, literally, for formerly it had stood on a hill, but Martha had some money of her own, and one morning the people looked over toward the lonely hill to find t-hat during the night the House had been moved to its foot and beyond out into the meadow. There was but one House among the scattered homes of the little neigh- borhood, and that was spelled with a capital. On dark nights this uncurtained dwelling, standing alone in the meadow, was a silent blaze of light, for Martha had lights in every room. The windows, devoid of blinds, glittered like im- mense glow-worms hovering over the da.mp, level plain on which the old House stood. Back of the House and farther on up the hill -there was laid out a large square garden, hemmed in by a picket fence. In this garden there bloomed such flowers as grew nowhere else the country round. And there was one pecu- liarity about the little garden 3 the flowers were white--all white. The virgin purity of Martlma's garden put to shame the flaring hollyhocks, tulips and saucy daffodils in the other gardens of the town. One spiteful .matron was said to have dropped the seed of a carnal red Hower into the spotless white of Martha's garden, butt it was rumored tohave come up white, as the rest, or else never came up at all, wh-ich is more likely. To one standing a considerable distance away, the garden on the hillside looked in the sunlight like one of those little square white settlements which- the New Englanders are fond of rnaking for their dead. fu, i ! 'fi' M I ir'i :wi n ew s. ,, 4 5 wfqbbg Qggwl W 174 Martha used to wander out on the meadow at night, and between the ap- pealing cries of the whip-poor-will one could hear her voice wander-ing up and down like that of a bird in search of its mate. For before her disappointment, Martha had been in great demand both in the choir and in the singing school, o-n account of her voice, which was of at rare quality in this region. Indeed, it had been one of the thrusts given to Milbury by other towns, that it had no singers, ' The voice was fainter now. It was fifteen years since lV.l3.rI'llilll3.,'S'l?C'1'1'Cl'S1' as a lily, herself, clothed in white, with a wreath of lilies on her dark head and white flowers in her hands had gone alone from the church to the old deserted house of her dead family. Once almost a bride, she was still the Old Maid at the I-Iouse. There she had lived and there she would probably die. And though no one dared enter, yet passers-by could see within white flowers massed about the old dark musty I-Iouse. Nor was Martha herself ever seen in her lonely wanderings without her bridal nosegay. Poor Martha had left off a bride and there she had always remained. I In Milbury, as in many towns, a palpable mist of superstition drifts down into the valleys. In Milbury now maidens prefer a color for their wedding gowns, nor do they carry white flowers to the altar. I said that no one dared enter the I-Iouse. But if we are to believe the stories which are blown about the town hither and thither like ba.ts by the wind, there have been persons who have gone up the three stone steps and entered the I-Iouse of Martha. An own cousin of Martha's, who was soon to be mar- ried, had gone to expostulate with her over this strange absenting of herself from life, 'shortly after Martha's removal to her I-Iouse. Wlien th-is cousin came back to her friends, she wore an exalted expression for days, and though prepara- tions had been gioing on for some time, the wedding never came off. A young girl, a canvasser for flower-seeds, seeinig the beau-tiful garden when passing, called in at the I-Iouse of Marthwa. Sihe h-ad sent to PO1I lIl3.1'1Cl for her wedding gown and had enigaged her father's cousin Anna to come and help make it. But now Anna was sent home and the dress was dyed to make into black blouses for her little brothers and sisters. She said that she had con- cluded to wait a while, anyway. Thus people talked. The most sensible, of course, did not attach any significance to such coincidences. Yet they enjoyed the I-Iouse of Martha as giving a delightful flavor of mystery .to their com- monplace little town. s s 1 X X I remember very well how sweet Ruth Ware looked at the great I-Ialloween party given by the Wares. She wore a white dress and there were white flowers in iher hair. - ' Wliy, Ruth, you are another 'Old Maid of the I-Ioufse,' cried out a little sprite to tease her, for Ruth was already promised to a tall, serious lad near her, 175 who could not keep his eyes from the white flowers, as they nestled in her brown hair. As the evening wore on the fun grew more and more hilarious. VVagers were made and wonderful deeds of daring were performed. At last that little teasing maid dared Ruth to go alo-ne to the House of Martha and ask her for one of the flowers plucked from the garden on the hill- side. Ruth set off laughing. She had gone half the way, when she was startled by a quick step behind her, as the tall lad came planting up to her. They donft li1'1iOfW' it, he said, but do you reially wan-t to go? T 'WVhy, yes, Ruth replied. 'Tm not afraid I shall lose my heart to her, now, you can wait on the other side of the meadow if you like, though! So he waited while Ruth went boldly up the steps, knocked and was ad- mitted-waited until the moon rose and showed the army of the dewdrops, their white tents pitched between the grasses-until the crickets took up their harps and wandered on and t-he frogs in the meadow brook had laid down their bag-pipes and gone 'to rest. Then he, too, went home, calling at Ruthfs house. She was there, having come home two hours before. She came home another way to frighten me, thought the lad. Yet, -that was a dozen years ago, and Ruth VVare is still unmarried. The Old Maid at the House is dead, but she had had a re-venge three-fold for the wrecking of her happiness. . There have been minds which seemingly lost en-tirely, yet are only the stronger, their lift' being concentrated in the fragments which remain, minds which to many remain closed like a Bower, but when once opened, give forth a dangerous perfume to whomsoever bends above them. There are wills which are never lost, beside which those weaker must snap with their -sweetest strains but scarce begun. ll W 5 vs ' . .f 176 DEAD BEE is SECOND PRIZE ' , gfjf -N , ,Da cg .D sl!! , M0 x 3 Dead amidst the dewy clover Lies a bonny little rover Who co-uld shape his course afar Witliotiit comp-ass, chart, or star.

As usual, there was philosophy in his Ea wit, and he had the wisdom to tell the truth. Colby Uni- Q' versit has been the Greatest thing on earth to us the 1 ast T ,gh Y zs s P year, and why should we not say so? To the Seniors it has been the one thing from the very fact that they are Seniors, and a similar state- ment could be made in regard to the Freshmen. In fact, all classes and the President andfaculty as well have shared their feeling and have aoted accord- ingly. The college is our world, and we are all bound to do the best we can for it and get the most we can out of it. This sentiment -has given the to-ne and color to all our college life for the past year. The President has gone about with the air of the man who says, This one thing I do, and he has done it. The sixty thousand dollars has been secured, and as a sort of exclamation point or mark of emphasis after it, twenty-five thousand more have been added. T-his secures the long-felt need as to material equipment, or aft least is the beginning of -a new equipment, which means chemical laboratory, biological laboratory, new ladies' hall and more. But the greatest elements of success in wa college -are not thou- sands of dollars or cubic feet of bricks and mortar. Better than these material results are the renewed love and loyalty to the college on the part of gradu- ates and old friends and the interest tfhiait has been awakened even among strangers and the valuable accession of new friends and partnons. Known only to ourselves are t-he real gains thus secured, an-d they will be mea-sured only by the future successes -of th-ose who are now undergraduates. 178 It is a trite enumeration to speak of sip-iiritual power, intellectual strength, social success and physical soundness, but these are the four great corner-stones of a symmetrical manhood, the cardinal p'oin.ts to which everything else is referred. In chapel -talks and class room conversations they are o-ften em- phasized, many of the college func-tions, most,we may say,tend to develope them, and the majority of our students realize their imipontance and avail themselves of every chance to secure them. It is impossible -to enumerate all the details of these four great lines of development. An instance or two will serve to illus- trate each. No greater ga-in has been made in the spiritual rea-lm than in the matter o-f chap-el worship. W' e stay greater, because it influences every student in col- lege. The reverent bearing and hearty particitpartion in the service on the part of all is constantly noticed. The inspiring hymn, the psalm read responsively or in concent, the gloria, the petition and the Lordis Prayer, the brief comments and suggest-ions of the President all tend to cultivate the spiritual nature, and none can go from the chapel to the work of the day without a spiritual uplift, a more earnest purpose, a juster value upon life and its opportunities, a greater safeguard against temptation and strength to persevere and overcome. Certain features of an intellectual value have been prominenrtly before us of late. Every professor is striving to make the most of his deparbmient both in the thoroughness of the required studies and in extensive and excellent elec- tive courses. There cannot be said to be a rivalry a-mong the various -depart- ments, but never in the history of the college has more enthusiasm been mani- fested among the instructors, and of such a sort as to enkindle one an-other and to inspire the students. Every professor, surely, could report extra work done by himself in the way of lectures and supplementary teaching with large an-d gratifying returns on the part of the students. Very little time is wasted at Colby, and in saying so we are not speak-ing of the one lazy man among us, but of the ninety and nine just opposite. In -the line of intellectual activity, men- tion should be made of the new Echo, published on-ce a week with an coca- sional literary number. VVhile reflecting great credit upon the editors who have the immediate supervision of the paper, it truly echoes the literary ton-e of the college and gives a hint of the culture a-ttained in various departments of Work. Another good indication is the increased interest in oratory occasioned in part by the intercollegiate deb-ates. Mention also might be -made of the introduction of a course in biolo-gy conducted by Mr. Hitc-hings, and -of the recent arrival of Dr. Hull to fill the chair of Physics and Astronomy. No better exponent of the social culture at Colby could be afforded than the recent elegant reception at the home of President and Mrs. Butler. It was the last of a series given during the year. An unusual number both of students and of town's people were present and t-he musical societies of the college fur- nished an entertaini-ng programme. Every one Was at his best, bo-th host and guest, and t-he true spirit of sociability reigned throughout the evening, that spirit which does not seek its ofvvnei-ther in personal display or selfish enjoy- ment, but in another's pleasure finds its highest gratification. 179 ' The musical organizations of the college in no small degree foster its social life, not to speak of their cultivating and even moral influence. An funusufal number of the students are musicians, and the past year many private and public recitals have been given to the great enjoyment of their friends. The concerts abroald have been highly lpnailsed, and the performance of the combined clubs at our own city hall has never been surpassed. . .To those iwiho have read a recent treatise ernanating from Clark University upo-n the Psychology and Pedagogy of Adolescence, it ca-nn-ot seem that too much attention is given to athletic culture. Wliile to the outside wool-d the vic- tories uipon the college field are the indications of greatest success, to the in- structor of college classes, the sound manhood, the quick eye and the ready mfinld that come from judicious physical training are the greatest triumphs. The grandson of General Grant recently offered himself to General Lee als a subordi- nate 'in his comm-and, saying, I am twenty-one and I a-m sound. Manly a young Sartorris in our ranks could say the same, and it is the greatest glo-ry of a college to have many such. Our successes upon the diamond and gridiron the past year have not been meagre, but we are not puffed up, neither are we fully satisfied, for we expect to do better work in the future. The make-up of our present team is clean and straight. Every man has been a regular-member of the college for the entire year, and would be gladly retained in membership on grounds of scholarsh-i-p and manlinessg The review of the year is satisfactory and encouraging. The ouftlook was never more hopeful. An ex-President of Colby in a recent private letter speaks of the college as an institution increasingly dear to him, and as one that is more true to the purpose of its founders than most of our colleges established by the sacrifices and labors of Christian men. These are sentiments which we do well to ponder and make our own. Q-c HER SHT., Pippa passes, I read, Why, Belle, how you're frowning! I.et's see how she's sped.

Hardy, Colby Uzzi-versity, Wate1'viZZe, Me.: DEAR SIR:-I have no doubt that you are acquainted, through t-he daily press, with m-y name and the purposes of the society wihicli I represent. It has been my aiim -to make the name of Charlotte Simith synonylmous with the en- couragement of miaitrimony in every State of our glorious union. W:haat I have endeavored to accomplish in the held of national politics in m-y -crusade against the election to office of unmarried oandidateis, T need hardly rehearse to one who, like yourself, is de-voted heart anid s-oul to the society of and admiraiti-on for the gentler sex. Long study of the conditions :mos-t favorable to early marriage has convinced me that it is impossible to begin -too young in instilling senitiiiments of tenderniesls into the hearts of young men, and miy object in writing to yo-u at this time is to draw your attention to our pl-an of work for colleges. VVhat We propose is to strike at the very -root of the matter, and make college stu-dents in- eligible for any college office who have not previous to nomination lor the same, either made pub-lic announcement of their marriage engiagernent, or at least given token by devoted attendance on some Worthy young lady that their 182 hear-ts are in the work. Wliile t-he names of Col. Page and others have been considered w1i't'h reference to onganiizing 'this reform at Colby, the accounts received by our society of your deep, yet silent devotion, to the cause of woman, of the wistful longing with which your dark eyes foll-ow the movements of the co--ords, and t-he wlay .in wh-ich concealment has preyed upon your damrask cheek, have led us with one accord to exclaim, UI-Iardy is the ma-n for our work! Wfill you undertake it? Answer at once. Intensely yours, C1-1ARLorrE SMITH. COLBY UN1v12Rs1rY, WVATERVILLE, ME., April 16, 1898. Miss Charlotte Svmtlz, P7'ESl.CfClZf Society: DEAR NIADAM 1-I shall never be able to portray to you what my feelings were on reading your letter of the 14th instant, just received. It was as if the barrier which restrained the claim-med-up fountain of my affections had been suddenly removed, and I was no longer able to con.trol the tide of emotion. Believe me, dearest Miss Smith, nothing would give me greater rapture than to accept the mission you so generously offer nie, did I not sadly realize my utter unfiztness for the task. It is not, I assure yfogu it is not, from a-ny lack of tender affection for your sex that I answer thus-it is, alas! because I love them too much. I dote upon everything of female kind. Wfhenever I look upon a rosy cheek, my ow-n cheek thrills at the sight. To-d-ay I love one, to- morrow another. VVthichever co-ord I gaze upon, her name seems to be written upon my heart, so that when I try to relieve my feelings in verse it comes out like this: Sweet Aimee, when I dream' of thee, Stella, thy sylph-like form I see. My love I fa-in would tell three, Dora, In burning words to move thee, Cora, Jeannette, Elevia, Leonora, Josephine, Rachael, Alice, Flora, VVhiche!er it is, I bow before her. And dreaming, Fannie, of thy tresses, And Edn-a's wit and Edi1th's dresses. And all that Ethel's eye expresses, I get into such awful messes That I can never make it known I-Iow I love you, and you alone! But which it is that I love thus I canno-t tell and that's the fuss. You see ho-w I am situated, dear Miss Smith, and un-til I can teach myself to forget that tthere are others, I have not the hardy-h-ood to accept the mission you offer me. I will, however, confidently re-commend to you Mr. W. VV. Brown, ofthe junior Class, as one whose affections are so concentrated upon a single object, that it may be said of hitm that his wwhole soul would be given to the pro- motion of the cause of early marriages. Believe me, with deepest regret, Yours affectionately, VVARREN F. HARDY. 183 H Ballad of Two Men and a Plaid.

Drummond looked up from the easy chair where he was lounging, and carrying on his usual occupation of taking in information at the pores. No doubt youlll mean sornelt'hri:n.g, Colonel, he said, but perhaps the girl wont. See? Or, perhaps, Johnnie Stevenson suggested, 'fyou may get stuck on a shadow, the way Newcome hasf, Q Oh, come off there! Drummond said. I didnlt know hlixstsi well. I wont call any names, but she isn't my idea of a shadow. Perhaps you haven't heard about Newc's Vlfellesley girl, Stevenson an- swered, with the air of one who could impart important information if he would. Hldfellesley girl! Corson exclaimed, bursting into the noom in his usual breezy manner- VVho's got a Wellesley girl? VV here did he get her? Say, fellows, -there's something go-ing on in this college that would make you open your eyes if you knew about it. It's no use asking me whaft it is. I can't tellf' f'Good reason why you can't, Drummond put in. There ain't anything to tell. Come, Johnnie, give it to us straight, about Newcofme and his spook sweetheart. VVell, began Stevenson, Hyou see Newc. has been corresponding with a Vlfellesley girl for some time-I say, boys, what an infernal racket Mac. is mak- in-gl If the Government could only put him under the Spanish fleet, heis got explosive power enough to blow up the whole outfit. Torpedoes are nothing to him! - Never min-d, M-ac., Colonel Page suggested mildly- tell the rest of your story. lNell, as I was saying, Newco-me has been corresponding with a Wfellesley maiden-somebody he knew before he came here. A while ago she sent him a picture of the most stunning girl you ever saw-I tell y-ou, s-he's a ri.pper if there ever was one-and said it was her chum. Newc. was a little afraid there was la hitch somewhere, so he wrote to the photographer who took the pic- ture and asked him if she was a reality or whether he did but dream. It hap- pened that the day the photographer got the letter the 'Wellesley girl - Call her 'W. G, Corson suggested. Rip-de-did! Call her what you darn pleasef, Stevenson assented cheer- fully- VV'hatever you call h-er, sh-e and her ohum happened into the studio just as the artist was pon.dering over Newcfs letter, and they advised the photograph man that silence was golden, and he said he thought so hi1nself -Stevenson paused. ISS Oh, go on, Johnnie! groaned Drummond. Put us out of our misery- univeil the shadow! Well, Newcome hesi-tat-ed a while, for fear it wfas a fake, but every time he looked at the girl's picture he saiw that she was fair, so pretty soon he wrote to the Wellesley girl - T-he fi-r-sit Wfelleslrefy girl, Drummond explained. HW. G., murmured Corson, And asked her if her c-hufm would not correspond with him. The chum consented, and he has been breathing out his soul in letters ever since. Well? Colonel Page asked sadly. What of ll-fXVl'li2.t,S the 'dem'd total?' queried Drummond. Has this story any meaning, or has it not P The Wellesley girlls churnf' Stevenson explained gently, is a very nice girl, bu-t no beaut., and the W'ellesley girl herself -here Corson was heard once more to whisper WW. G. - has been very kindly writing two sets of letters to N ewcome, one for herself, and one for the beautiful unknown. The best part of it all is that Newc. doesn't dream he's being sold. HTIhlHil1,'S a good sitoryf' Conson said, beaming art the other listeners-iit's immense. It miakes me think of a man in Canaan. He was one of these regular wiomain-masihens, and he was corresponding with two girls at Simnith College- didn't either of 'em know the other one was writing to him. 'Well, sir, each one of those girls sent him a picture. I tell you, they were dandies-and said it was her chu-m's picture. And that Canaan man got to corresponding with all four of 'e-m, and he didn't know whether they were fooling him o-r not, and now he's going to be married - Not to all four of them, Cors., Drummond interposed- that'-s too much even fo-r Canaan, I hate such stories as these, Colonel Page said solemnlyg Hthey cast a blight upon the sanfcti-ty of love. The affection I bestow may not always be recipro- cated, but it is a pure and earnest e-motion. The fount of love in the Colonel's heart, Stevenson explained, His like Tennyson's brook, and Carl Herrick's sm.ile: 'Men may come, and men may go, but it goes on forever. I don't know about that, Corson put in, the brook goes on, you know, but Carl Herr,icfk's smile stays, and that's the deuce of it. Never mind, Colonel, Drummond said soothingly. True love h-as not wholly perished o-ut of the earth. Y Remember Arad Eraistuis Linscott. The first time he saw the lady of his love, he knew that no other could compare with her, and the hrst time she saw him her he-art owned hiim for its master. And when Arad took her to 'Fairfield to the Opera House, and they s-at in the gallery all by themselves and listened to hear each other's pulses beat, Arad frowned at every intruder as if he were a Spanish mine just ready to go off. Don't cry, Colonel-maybe the lightning will strike you some day! 1 I JJ 77 I 189 There was silence for .a few seoonds, br-oken by an outburst fnom Go-nson: There's something great going on in this college, and clonit you forget iutl Iit'll make so-me of you fellows open your eyes when it comes ou:t. I'd tell you what I kno-w if I could-but I oan't-it wouldn'-t do. You just wait! All right, Co-rs., Stevenson said cheerfully. If you don't wiant to tell what you know to-night, some other time 'll do. It won't tak-e you long if you con- fine yourself to what you really know. VVhvat yo-u -think you 'know would take a lifetime. Look ant Pip.-heys gone to sleep. No, I h'aven't, Drummond answered lazily. I was wondering how the Romance of the Red Ribbon would suit the Colonelifs ideas of the sacred pas- sion of love. The romance of the red ribbon! Wliait's that Pl' .asked Stevenson. Sounds like Conan Doyle, o-r Stanley VVeyman, -or some of those fellowsf' - 'fIt sounds like Henry Lamb in this instance, Drummond said. It was on the Glee Clu1b's trip. The boys were entertained at private hous-es, you know, and Hen-ry found that the house where he put up had a telephone connection with the one where Hudson and Shannon were staying, so he called them up. I Is it Mis-s Brown? Hudson asked. No, Henry said. Is it Miss Blank? -never miinfd what her name was. It was a star that Hudson had picked up somewhere. Henry gave Hudson to understand that he had guessed pretty near right, so Hudson carried on a long conversation with the young lady. Pretty soon Henry brought Shannon into the talk. Charlie had never seen the girl, y-ou kn-ow, and they agreed between them that he was to know her the next night by the red ribbon she wore, so the next evening Henry saw th-em looking round everywhere for the star with the red ribbon. He went up to Hudson and said: Have you seen her? Hud-son just looked at him-you know how he does-and then went over and consulted with Charlie. Pretty soon Henry asked Shannon the s-ame ques- tion, and Charlie said: H-ow did you know anything about it? Well, what was the end of it? Corson asked, as Dru-mlm-ond pau-sed, ap- parently worn out by such unwo-nted exertions. There wasn't any end.. The girl with the red ribbon was a phantom, like NeWfoome's shiadow girl. - Co-lonel Page sighed. If young men thought of young women earnestly and seriously as they oug1h't, he said, such frivolities would be impofss-ible. Corson hiardly waited for the Colonel to Cnish. There wa-s a man in our town, he began, that got to telephoning that way with somebo-dy - Look here, Corrs, Drummond interposed- I don!-t believe thereis a tele- phone in Canaan. I don't bel-ieve they ever saw one there. There is, Corson insisted. I tell you, sir, t-hey did-wi-t-h somebody in Skowhegan, it was. He though-t all the time, it was a girl, and she was go-ing to mee-t him at a dance and have a sunflower in her hair- I 190 'A sunflower its small, Stevenson interrupted, arte you sure it wiasn't a cab- bage, Cors.? Say, boys, you heard about Gurney's asking one ot the co-ords to goto a show with hi-m-asked her, you know, just at the last mi-nute, as he usually does- T thought he usually asked her the next morning, after the show was over, Drummond said. Well, anyway, she had already brought ia ticket, so s-he adve11t'ised it on the billabolard at Ladies' Hall. KFor sale, one ticket to the Cecilia Concert. The owner has no further use for it.' D It was her sister advertised it, Corson said. It makes me think of a man up to Canaan- Oh! Canaan! bright Canaan, sang Pip. Dru-mimond. See here, Corrs., if there were as 'many men in Canaan ass you say there are, it would be at least the third largest city in the world. just then a tremendous racket was heard in the halls. The rest of the talkers dashed wildly from the room to join in the scrap, and only Colonel Page was left repeating sadly in the gathering darkness: She smiles and s-miles, and will not sigh, Wilrile we for hopeless passion die, Yet she could love, those eyes declare, Were men but nobler than they are, Sauce for' the Goose, Etc. Prof. Rob said to a trembling girl, His manner like December- No need of your forgetting if You're careful to remember.

Bun was a Freshman and his youthful heart throbibed with honest 'pri-de. It was no slight favor to introduce this charming girl to his chu-m. The moon smiled down upon him as he ascended the steps, and rang the bell, smoothed back his way- ward ha.ir and arranged his face into that well-known ''wfhy-'aim-I-so-fascinat- ing simile. Steps were heard approaching in :the 'ha-ll. Suddenly Bun turned, sprang down the steps and dashed wildly off up Union Hill. A cloud chlased itself across the moon.

At least, it was so conrcedied fbfy the rest of the bo-ys and, as every o-ne knows, the opinion of one's college mates is a thing not to be despised. Even when he became a Bien-edict, and, false to all declarations of eternal baohelorhood, had fallen a ready victim to the charms of a fair mraiden of his -own class, he still retained much of his former prestige and position. just to what extent Van Pyck was in love it was difficult to say. - It was no ordinary affaire de Coeur, that was certain. But he carefully guarded his conversation anfd no amount of pumping by hi-s c'l1-Lum, who openly lamented Van Pyck's fall could extont any reference to or any explanation of the state of his affections. It was, accordingly, ia matter of no small interest when a sudden defzouemezzt revealed all. It happened after 'hh-its fashion: Th-e fair maid in question had, so it seems, a small cousin possessed of those -propensilties for observation and inference that are natural Ito ch1ildhood's happy days. Taking with her, one bright spring mo-rning, this ezzfant tewible, Van Pyck's fiancee made an informal call upon the dean of the women'is college. All unconscious of the shock ishe was soon to receive, the dean serenely chatted with her caller. But the kid, the evzfrmt terrible, was uneasy, rsomething was lacki-ng. Cousin Elsa was not without someone else usually, Wliere was that nice man that bro-ugiht he-r oanldy and then-'told her to run away .to maimlma? -Slime was hungry, sh-e wanted some candy verly muc'h, and looking up anxiously -into the dea'n's unfsusipecatinfg eye-s, she fal-tered: Wlzere is M 12 Pyck?

Those wth-o were to take paart, nervously excited by the thought of the ordeal awaiting them, seemed raither flu-rried. Cries of Mary, clon't you knofw w1he-re my fan is? and, Adele, Wo-n'It you please see if my hair is all ri'gih1t? were in-cessainlt.

Adams' lafmp had a perverse habit of doing just that thing, due, perhaps, to the fact that he very seldom bothered to trim it. His fire was also out, as he just then discovered, and must be rebuilt if that History article was to be made ready for to-tmorro1w's exercise. It was always discouraging to Adams, when he really did get to work, to find so many obstacles to be overco-me. To tell the trulth-but we digres-s. It was evident to Adams that he must have some oil for general lighting purposes. He rather hated to steal some more from the poor Freshma-n who had thu-s far sup-plied the whole division with it, and from who-m Adams him- self, only the week before, had confiscated a' large can full. But oil he must htave, and putting his scruples aside, he makes his raid. In upfon his kindling hepo-urs a generous supply ofthe colorles-s fluid, and dropping in a lighted match he retires with due caution to the hall to await the explosion. He wwaits 'a mioment, but the matchhas gone out. He lights another and plours in sftill more of the oil until the wood is thoroughly saturated with it. This time he drops in .the match with stil' more,,cau.tion, and the way he precipitates himr self in-to the hall is extremely startling to his chum who unfortunately presents 'himself aut the door at just the right mo-ment to receive the whole broadside. But even this .time there is no flame, no explosion, and the match quietly burns it-self out amidst the wet and dripping wood. Adams could not understand it, 'but his chum, grasping the situation, seized the almost empty can, poured out what remained upon a lighted match. just as I expected, Adams, you old fool, said hte, that Freshman has squared a part of his account with you. Don't you see? this can was filled with water from the hydrant. And Adams admitted that it was one on him. ' Toe Pit He Duo for T'ottjer. As a Freshvman R, wras rather unsop-hfisticated, but a year at collegeldid wionidiers for him, and when, in the fall, he went up to Kineo as bell-boy, he 'was nlot so easy als he appeared. R.w'a.s a willing worker, but the manager of the great hotel was one of those fussy old fellows whvo are always finding fault. Scarcely a day passed but that he went to the clerk, who had direct charge of the bell- boys, with some .tale of woe concerning them. I Onle day the Old Man got it into his head that the co-rridors were not being swept so carefully as they should be, and so he set an artful trap to catch the boys at fault. 'That evening, as soon as they were off duty, he stole up into the corridors and scattered a quantity of green grass around in the corners and out-of-the-way places. It was Rfs turn to sweep that morning, and luckily for him he hap- pened to discover a few spears of grass that had been accidentally dropped in plain sight. His curiosity was excited and his suspicions aroused. His wits 2oo ' sharpened b-y a year's experience of Sophomoric pranks soon revealed to him the trick that was to have been his undoing. Then R. showed himself a genius. Carefully he picked up the grass, and, having swept the Hoo-r, 'as carefully re- placed it. - - The 'manager came around earlier than usual thalt morning and promptly visited the corridors. His wrath was somethin-g awful to contemplate as he descended the stairs and explained the situaltion to the cle-rk. R. was called up by the indignant manager and the three ascenfded to the corridors. There the manager pointed to the grass and explained how craftily he had deteoted R's negligence. . But, see, said the clerk, the floor seems to be swept perfectly clean. VViell, said the unabashed R. with a smile, 'flt ought to be clean. I picked up all that grass, swept the Hoor and then put it back again, Tihe manager never complained again. Slittle Qarolus' Safety, Little Carolus was a Freshinan. He hadibeen a good boy all winter and had 'suffered the ups and Downes of a Freshrmian's life all through the dreary weeks without a murmur. Wlieii the Sophs had come around to pu.t him up, he 'had shown good sand, and by his brave 'spirit had won the respeot of everyone. This night, little Caro-lus was in gay spirits. Papa had been out W-efst all wiinfter and Carolus' had just received a letter from him saying that he had ar- rived home, bringing with 'him a new safety for Caroluis, '98 model, cha-inless. From the glowing description given, it was a pea-ch, and little Carolus' heart was light as he thought ho-w he would -be the envy of all the boys with the first ohainless safety -in Colby. How lightly 'he tri-piped about, thinking of tihe fine rides he would have this summer. And when Carolus dreamed of wheeling about down on the island with the Bess-t girl in the world, the only one for him, he was so happy that he could hardly wait. Papa said, Come out to--morrow and see me and see what I have brought for you? So next morning the scoot bore him out. He ran up the familiar path he had traversed so many times in his child-hood, but never l-ad it seemed so inviting to him. He ran into the house and greeted papa and went out into ftihe shed. He looked about and then searched the premises, but the something wrhioh he was looking for did not seem in sig1h:t. At last papa said, What are you looking for, my boy? HMy new safety, the '98 model, the chainless one, vwheire is it?,' Here it is, my boy, cheerfully answered his father. Let us draw the curtain over the rest of the picture. Papa drew forth from his pocket a jumbo Safety Pin and handed it to his loving boy. A VVh'a't little Carolus said is not recorded,'bu.t the look which comes over his countenance when anyone dares to mention the word. safety far better expresses his feelings than any words of tongue or pen.

A POSTER TRAGEDY. Mahi! A purple moment of brig-ht blue bliss Was mine, oh, green-haired maid, VVhen from your lips a yellow kiss I sipped in the dark-red shade. The ecru moon hung on a tree, We sat by a vertical brook, You were a-laughing in olive-pink glee, And reading the edge of a book. By the red hills topped with golden snow, By the trees tearing holes in the sky, I swore the red world I would overthrow For your love, or lie down and die. But away from my vowring I was rudely snatched And thrust far, far from you, The color I wvore with the landscape matched, And that would, alas! never do. - And now amonlg 'the blue lilies afloat On a sea of brown and red, I sit on -the edge of an olive-green boat And hold my pea-green head. 7 203 XX X K, , 1 QT W ' .

The latter became so greatly delighted with the tob-ac-oo which the Colby man carried, that for a very small piece, in- deed, he consented to give him a Write-up of the entire trip. On the return Loinlgfellow was encountered. Tfhis illustrious poet was a ,graduate of Bowdoin, and, after some bickering, was induced to do the translating for nothing, provided only he were given lull recognition in the Oracle. The unfortunate fact that many, if not all, of tho-se herein mentioned are yet al-ive, need not trouble the reader in the least, for as Friar Alberigo told Dante during a former trip: 'fOftenitimes the soul descendeth here Sooner th-an Atropos in mo-tion sets it.

A circle lies before us nairnowly .hemmed in In such strong wise as is the place We tread, And devils mfaledict the sinners guard. And because language is abused, mis- used and wasted, Three rounds there are in which great dole asfsails Tlhose who in these three Ways do nmiost offend.

Since thou art so great That over sea and land thy faimfe is spread, And e'en in I-Iell thy name is not unknown.

For even while I spake his tongue forth lept V And licked an ear, wh-e'rea.t a stench arose Of burning flesh and quick assailed our senses.

Fed by sutoh fuel, activity now became general. The following day four men, yvhiolsfe tplhyzsioal prowess and personal bravery fair surpassed that of their iellovvs, headed a movement for the organization of the college into companies. Tlhese Hour men should have their names written high upon the tablet of fame. Tllmey were E. C. Gurney, E. H. Maling, E. C. Herrick alnud H. L. Corslon. Under their lolity and inspiring oratory four oo-mpvanies were oroianized under lable lead-ersihtip. 6 b Irt ics vvlorthfy of note, however, that these brave men enoountered a vas-t amount 'of opipiosiition.

Hence there was not much surprise, -but a great deal of consternation two days later, when two outlying pickets, VVellman and Getcihell, reported at head- quarters :that the Spaniards were clos-e at hand. These two pickets, on pe-rceiv- ing the Spanish vanguard, turned edgewise, and thus becoming inv1is:i'b-le, es- caped wi-thoult bringing on a premature engagement. All was now excitement. A quick rush to arms took place, especially on the part of those whose regular roun-ds took them to Fort Palmer and kindred establishments. Mr. T. Raymond Pierce, in a letter tio his father, has given us an affecting picture of what the saw there. I-Iis letter reads: DEAR PA:-I have already written you of my extenszive pneparationfs for the defense ofthe cam-pus. Now that the greazt oonfliot hes become a matter of history, I wanlt to tell you all about it, so that you can puft ift in the Rockland Daily Star. Wiell, when the first warning of hostile approach was given, I left a number of orders for the faculty and stu-dents and hastened down to say good- bye to my girl, who lives opposite Port Palmer. I always have her picture handy to showv people. It was immensely affecting to see the heartrending adieus going on arou-nd Fort Palmer. One slender, dark-eyed maiden was clasp- ing a curly-headed youth 'several inches shorter than hers-elf and declaring in impassioned tones 'that she was afraid the big guns would make her B-erti-e's head aohe. Another you.th, very short an-d very fait, was sea.ted dejeotedly upon the steps, while a.n affectionate maiden stroked his forehead wfi-th h-er fingers. This one I was told later stayed s-o long that he was captured by -the Spaniards in 'trying to get away. Putt I had no time .to give more than the eye of a re-ponter to those things and hastened back to see 'that things were not going wrong on the campusf, I-Iere several -pfag-es follow in which the writer 'tells of the valuable services which he rendened his college and country in the aetion which follow-ed. As we have been unfable to find very extensive con.1irmati.on of it elsewhere, we will refrain from prin-ting it, believing it to arise from some pecu-liarityf in the writer's style. 'Ilhe letter ends with the following sentences. I will be so busy getting the college back into running order that I will not write again soon. Your b-rillianrt son, CH1co. The sltory of the battle has already bleen recorded in' a thousand permanent f-orrnfs, so wwe will co-ntent ourselves with 'a reproduction o-f the telegrlaphic de- spatches to the War' Cry, as they were transmitted at -the -time. W'atervi-lle, June 7th QSpecialj.-At 9.27 A.M., o-ne of t-he Colby scouts reported at the headquarters of the acting Colonel, Page, that a large force of 216 Spaniards was at hand. A fierce condict is hourly awaited, as Colby is ar-med to th-e teeth. X 9.30 A.M. QS-pecialb.-As the S-panish fieet moved up the river a large man stepped out upon thebatnk and in a deep base voice hailed the Castil-ianis thus: Tis dyopeliew ,8o15Ae-ret, Several shots were fired by the enemy NVll-Ul'llO'L1'lI effect. 9.40 A.M. CSpecialD.-The Spaniards have penetrated as far as Ladies' Hall. A hat left in one of the windows has caused considerable constemation in their ranks, but they are pressing bo-ldly on. 9.47 A.M. QSpecialj.-A g-enenal engagement is beg-inning upon the cainipus. Flo-rresit Eugene Glidden has already challenged the Spaniards to send out t-heir flour. stnongelsvt mien. 9.55 11.11. QS.pec-ialj.-Tlie Rev. O. 'W. Foye is urging upon the troop-s the necessirty of a prayer by himself before the battle begins in good earn-est. There seems to be but sligh.t inclination to listen to him. 10.12 A.M. CSpecialj.-The colors at the Hrfst entrance have been shot away, and tlhe color bearer, Samuel Osborne, captured. The Spaniards thought him a Cuban ally of the college and mallutreated hi-m. 10.17 A.M. CSpecialj.-Two valiant soldie-rs are making an attempt to rest-ore the colons at the first entrance. They have climbed the breastworks and at present are in a very perilous position. Regarding this latter exploit the Colby Echo, in its next issue, said: It was certainly 3.'1T1'O'SlI inspiring spectacle to see those valiant soldiers QHer- rilck and Piercej standing high above the ramparts in an atititude of -pnofound in-difference while the bullets in showers glanced hrarmlessly fnom their faces. 10.35 A.M. QS'pecialj.-Adfmiral Dot has just concluded a brilliant manoeuvre upon th-e Ken-nebec. The chief scout from the womtan's oolllege was induced tio promenade along tthe river bank bel ow where the fleet was stationed. By this meanus the river has become congealed, and further approach of the Span- ish Hotilla checked. 10.50 A.M. CSpecialD.-Private McFadden, of the heavy artillery, has just been stabbed in the belly wi.th a bayonet. A loud bursting sound followed im- mediately upon the stabbing, and McFadden is mlisising. 11.15 A.M. CSpecialj.-Some of the big guns are getting unmanageable. One has been thrown from its cassions in front of South College and both wheels are bnok-en. ' Another, wlhich had been admirably mounted upon the excellent fountain foundation prepared by the Class of '98, can no longer ble held down. Regarding tihese guns the VV'ar Cry, in a subsequent lSSfl1lC, says: It was certainly a very fortunate occurrence that just at the momenut when the big South Co-llege gun became crippled, Stulartls head sfho-uld have been blown o-pen by a shell. VV heels of every description were scattered around, and the gun was soon in order again., The unmanageable gun on the fountain foundation was straddled by private Martin and held down with good success. The restoration of these guns proved to be the turning of the tide, and the Spaniards were soon in full Hight. 2I7 In t-hte preparation of this bit of history We have striven earnestly to give honor to whom honor has been due, and we trust that we have fairly succeeded in our un-denhalcing, We would feel, hfolwtever, that we rhvad ingloriously failed did we not pray some slight tribute, While briddinlg our Sttbject farewell, to the zeal which :the ladies of :the college displayed for the noble cause. The inspira- tion derived from their earn-estness cointlrib-uftzed in nio sligiht degree to the suc- cess fof Collby's alll-conquering anmts. In oonfcl-ustion, We beg leave to qu-otte again from that estimable little slheet, -the 'fW1ar Cry. 'Regamdfing th-e share vvthifch tvhe fwwomien of fthe college 'nook rin the cel-eblrattrilon accompanying the de- pfarture ot Phovfessfor Roblents and his men for Font Halifax, the VV-ar Cry says: They certainly did themselves piaoufd. As the pnocession moved slowly dowwin College Avenue, followed tvvfo hours later by Alden s brass band, it found them drawn up two deep i-n front of Ladies' Hall. Fifty liftwtle flags waved in fifty di-mpled handls. Fiity cherubic faces glanced a fonld good-b-ye toward the departing heroes, And ith-en they yelled. And such a yell, too! If only they could have heand themselves, as penhaps they did if :they stood near, they would never neglect an opiportusnity 'tio repeat that Wvon-d-enful performance. Their voices seemed isplendidly adapted to suoh vocalization and created a profound impmession. Even now the Writer is so vividly reminded of 'a ball-game at Bates that h-e is moved almost tio tears.

The book may possess some faults, but it is of our own creation, and enmboidies, though necessarily to a limited extent, the best efforts, both literary and amtistic, of which our students are capable. To all those who have in any Way assisted or advised us in this work we re- turn grateful thanks. Especially are we indebted to Professor 'Warren, for his excellent review of the past year, also to Dr. and Mrs. Black, for our beautiful photographic reviews of points of local interest, and to H. XV. Foss, '96, for the article on Lovejoy. E. P. Wade, of Alton, Ill., Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Lovejoy Monument Association, furnished us with the picture of the monu- ment, and through his kindness We obtained the likeness of Mr. Lovejoy from Mr. Chas. Holden. We are also much indebted to E. VV. Alden, for his splendid designs for the fraternity and athletic cuts, and for his other illustrations, and to Miss Laura Smith and Messrs. Wellman and Dyer, for their faithful, efficient and pungent statistical work. All of our illustrating was done by college talent, the greater part of it by VV. O. Stevens, our Staff Artist.

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 I have used y0ur Johnson's Anodyne Liniment with much satisfaction. Baseball players should all use it. In fact, ,among professional athletes a good rub down with the old Anodyneiafter 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 useu it very successfully for muscular rheumatism. J. J. FECITT, President of the Roxbury Bicycle Club.

CLAUSEN, Champion Jumper' Boston Athletic Association Having used Johnson's Anodyne Liniment on a friend who was suffering with Lumbago with good re: suits, I recommend it to any one in need of a good liniment. 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 Anodynes Liniment I find 'totbe the most valuable of any I ever used.
