Our aim has been still more to make the book represent college talent, to reflect college sentiment and interests, and to promote the growth of a strong college spirit. Such has been our intent, and though we have fallen far short of our ideal yet We have given our best effort to make the ORACLE of '99 one of which no Colby man need be ashamed.

And the spirit of Sam moved upon the,face of the Campus. And Sam said, Let there be light, and there Was light. And Sam saw that the light was good 3 and Sam divided the light from the darkness. And Sam called the light Freshmen and the darkness he called Sophomores. And the evening and the morning were the first day. I And Sam said, Let there be a Class in the midst of the waters and let it divide the waters which were under the Class from those which fell from above the Class. And it was so. And the Class was entertained at a reception, but Darkness followed after and made much havoc in the midst of the Light. But the Light was divided from the Darkness, and the reception was a joyous one. And Sam called the Class Ninety-nine. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And Sam said, Let there be lights above the Class of Ninety-nine to divide the day from the night. And let them be for discipline and instruction, to give light upon the Collegef' And it was so. And Sam made two great lights 5 the greater light to rule by day and the lesser light to rule by night. And the greater he called the new Prex, and the lesser he called the Conference Board. And the Class escaped from the waters which fell from above them and held an exit in the land of Skowhegan, wherein great delight was taken. And the even- ing and the morning were the third day. SANA SENI. Q And Sam said, Let the Campus bring forth grass and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind. And it was so. And the Campus brought forth grass, the Verdancy whereof surpassed all other Fresh- men, and the Sophomore fruit tree, whereof the fruits of learning and pleasure were numerous. The verdant grass was watered and cared for, so that it was not trampled under foot in the Cane Rush, nor burned in the fires of Bloody Monday Night, but it flourished and grew and waxed mighty in its own conceit. And the fruit of the tree was 50 Class of '99, Q Women. Clfms Ye77 : -'Rah I 'Rah E ,Rah l 'Rah I 'Rah 'Rah Y Up to date, Sure as fate, That is what We are.

Do you want to hear the story of a garden ?-not the story of the Garden of Eden, but in some respects perhaps like itg for you remember that after God had created all the earth and the seas and skies, the trees and birds and butterflies, something was lacking for the great garden's divine completeness, and Eve, flower-like, sprang up in one night. Once very long ago there was another great garden by a river, almost as fair as that Garden of the Lord. Beautiful gray clouds hovered over it, the birds sang i11 the trees and murmuring streams ran near it, but it, too, was desolate for there grew in it only Jack-in-the-pulpits, J ohnquils, Johnny-jump-ups, Bachelor's Buttons and Sweet lVilliams. One day there sprang up Mayflowers, Daisies, Tulips, Marguerites and Blackeyed Susans, and the garden suddenly became brighter and was flooded with sunshine, and each year it grew and grew, until one autumn day there was transplanted into it twenty- three roses, all in the tender grace of life's sweet spring-time. They were sent from the North, the South, the East, and the lVest, fresh, sweet flowers hardly distinguishable through their tangled mass of green. And the gardener, a Very nice man, came with them from the far west. Never before had he tended these eastern flowers, and yet such wisdom was his that all the arts of fioriculture were known to him, and little difference did he find between these eastern and western plants. Very carefully he watched them as they from buds to blos- soms grew. And there were many other sub-gardeners, but none kinder to the flowers than a little dark man who cared for them in summer, and in winter regulated the temperature of the conservatory g for the greater part of the year they were confined behind brick walls. Sometimes they drooped and blighted under intense heat, sometimes they shivered and swayed in cold draughts, for the conservatory was old and full of chinks where the wind swept through. The first year was the severestg never was the sky above them so blue and there was much pruning to be done. At the beginning of this year there was a conclave of all the fresh flowers in the garden and thereafter the twenty-three roses in a friendly manner smiled and nodded over the 53 good to look upon, and it grew in the soil of Horace, of Socrates, and of Genung. And the apples which grew from the soil of Genung were on exhibition at the Sophomore Declamation. And it was evening and it was morning of the fourth day. SANA sELIs1. And Sam said, Let the Faculty bring forth abundantly the mov- ing thing that hath life and fowl that may fly above the college. And Sam created great whales, and one he called Chemistry and another he called Astronomy. And the whale called Chemistry did foam and gnash his teeth, but all escaped. But the whale called Astronomy did seize upon some, but they were delivered from his jaws. And Sam created every living creature which the Campus brought forth abun- dantly after their kind and every winged fowl after his kind. And the Class of Ninety-nine did now enjoy a draught from the river of Junior Ease. And Sam saw that it was good and he blessed the Class. . SANA REBHII. And Sam said, Let us make the Seniors in the image of Prex, after his likeness, and let them be an improvement over the last Seniors, and let them have dominion over the fish of the laboratory, and over the fowl of history, and over the cattle of the under classes, and over all the College, and over every creeping thing that creepeth after them to cut them out. And Sam created the Seniors in the image of Prexg male and female created he them. And Sam blessed them. And Sam said unto them, i'Be fruitful and happy, for ye have overcome the Lion Psychology, and the Bear Ethics, and have played with the Kitten Sociology. Now shun the fruit of the tree called engagements until ye have learned the ways of the world. But three did not heed the words of Sam. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. ' ' AHAR. And the Class and the College were finished and all the host of them. And the seventh day Sam rested from his work which he had made. And the Class went forth and it was morning of the seventh day. But what will the evening be? 'Will the same success attend the members of Ninety-nine that has thus far attended them under the care of Sam and others of the Faculty? Some will lead successful lives,-all, we hope. But wherever they may be, and whenever they may meet, the old ties will be found as strong as ever, and though separated far, and engaged in the activities of life, the love of class- mates will help them through the difficulties of the future as through those of the past. 51 way to the more sturdy Jack roses. Strange as it may seem these Jack roses were more carefully watered than any of the others. There were many good and bad fairies in the garden that helped train the flowers in the way they should grow. Often they troubled the flowers so that they bowed their heads and wept crystal tears of dew. Some were the queerest little things, all angles and lines with faces all chalk, and they carried little round hoops and balls and insisted upon the flowers finding the dimensions. And there were other fairies with withered little faces, who leered and smiled with their little yellow teeth, yellow from the old manuscripts that they had devoured, and they kept saying the funniest jumble of words which the flowers tried to understand. There were also two quite modern little hobgoblins, who spoke with the strangest guttural and nasal sounds. And there were others who gave the Howers little electric shocks and made them play with soap-suds and spiral wires, and still others that had them make scrap-books out of printed slips of paper. These little people kept the flowers at work night and day. They were not like the iiowers of old, for they toiled not neither did they spin. In the end these wicked little fairies turned out to be the best friends that the iiowers had. ' But it was not all work and no play, for often the flowers floated down the stream. Each year they turned over new leaves and opened fuller in the sunshine. Some grew better in Grecian soil, some in French, some in Roman, and some in German, but as a whole with even growth their lives burst into iiower. Tender skies bent above them, and the seasons came and went. One by one the roses left the garden until there were only thirteen left. Each year these roses took iirmer root in the great garden until they seemed to grow into its very heart. Rare, perfect flowers they grew into, without blight or tare, without thorn or verdure. But one day they had to break those love-moorings and go forth from the garden to be scattered once more to the North, the South, the East and VVest. And the gardeners did not go with them, only one, they went alone. And the little fairies no longer tormented them. And the garden seemed barren and flowerless. Brave, steadfast roses, never again will they grow together in this enchanted garden, but some day, some time, they all may be transplanted. But this is only the story of a garden and thirteen roses, how they from buds to blossoms grewf' 54 Biographies of Senior Class. sz ., A aug. - i , Lynne Fletcher Adams, vlT1lJEO11. Z NP.

A Q Men. Again the hand has moved around the dial, and HIQOOU is synonymous with junior. The years have flown swiftly, but they have nevertheless thinned our ranks amazingly. Fourteen of our original number are no longer with us. Among the missing we count the irrepressible Dugan, whose presence on the diamond or gridiron was always an inspiration, the warlike I-Iooke, who faced the Freshman mob without a quiver, the mouthy Clark, to whose aesthetic taste Colby was a little slow, and our amorously-inclined Hardy, whose Aimeeable disposition seems better satis- fied with close proximity to a woman's college than with membership in a co-ordinate institution. He of the golden fleece saw tit to fall back into a class sadly in need of good men, but ,QQ kindly spared us one of their number, who may be somewhat inferior in size to the mighty hero, but takes up as much space in the catalogue. Though few in numbers, we can point with all the more pride on that account to our record thus far. As Freshmen we were green-show us the class that is not-we sassed the Sophs, and some few of us paid the penalty as prescribed by law, though we think that ,99 was a little lax in their duty toward some of our number. As Sophomores we did our best to discharge our responsibility toward the strangely-assorted pack of humanity placed under our supervision. The Ah Skyward degree was administered without discrimination to those who merited such discipline. We confess we were once guilty of breaking the college laws by entering a room without permission, but we did so in obedience to a sense of justice higher than any written regulations, and the Supreme Court of Iudicature-the Conference Board- recognized the justice of our position. But whatever our misdemeanors or shortcomings during our first two years, We never failed to recognize that the upper-classmen deserved a certain amount of con- sideration and respect, -a fact of which the present Freshman class seems wholly oblivious. When we attained to the dignity of upper-classmen we fulfilled our duty as the Freshman's friend to the best of our ability, and looked for some apprecia- tion of our efforts, but in vain. In expectation We awaited the treat which, according to all custom, should have been ours on the day of the horn rush, but we were destined to disappointment. Forgetting this slight, we gave them our assistance in securing fair play in the scrap, but their sensibilities still remained blunted. The fall passed away, but no foaming beverage appeared on the campus to bathe our thirsty throats. Even this flagrant breach of good manners was overlooked, and in our zeal for their cause we removed the doors of the dormitories, on the night of their reception, to ensure their safe entrance. But they remained ungrateful. The winter months passed away, but the supper due us failed to materialize and we were finally forced to the conclusion that 1902 does not deserve to be one of the even-year classes. A Of our third year we have but one thing to say. The term Junior easel' was never intended to be applied to Colby. Plugging out reactions, untangling the intricacies of the eye and ear, reading a book a day for Rob, knowing what to read for Black, following Dutchy's harangues and Hu-ll's lectures can never be termed Usnapsf' But we murmur not. VVe have shown ourselves fully capable of sur- mounting these difficulties. 67 Class of 1900. I Q Women. Class Yell:-dxove, dxove, who are We?

Q Women. Mother Colby gave a weary sigh and sat down to rest and talk it all over by the side of the College Spirit. Isn't it good to have the winter's work all done? she asked, and now it won't be many days before the children will be all off for the summer. I shall be thankful for a rest. I'm worn out, aren't you? But there, of course your cares do not weigh on you as mine do on me. You cannot understand a mother's worry for her children, and are not so vitally interested, and she glanced half scornfully at the oor S irit. p PFm I not? he thought, a little bitterly, as he remembered sundry tight squeezes of the past when he had tried to force a way for himself into some narrow soul and become a mere shadow in the doing of it, but 'he said nothing. Mother Colby sighed again and then smiled as she glanced out across the campus and caught a glimpse of black caps and gowns, pretty girlish figures and stalwart manly ones. See, there's '99, she exclaimed. f'Dear me, how I shall miss her next year. I wonder how she will get on out in the world. But Iive been thinking about the other children, and she turned back once more to the College Spirit. I am so troubled about 1901, she is simply pining away, she grows thinner and thinner every term, and a troubled frown wrinkled Mother Colby's fair brow. However it lifted a little as she went on. Igoo is my only comfort now. Baby '02 is too small to be any help, but I am really proud of I9oo. Here the College Spirit nodded approvingly. Do you remember what a remarkable baby she was? continued the fond mother, and so good. Why she would let ,QQ play with her all day, and 299 was rough sometimes, and never whimper. She took all her childish diseases so well, too, just turned a little pale when she had the Elocution, and wept once or twice over Trigonometry. She was the most active child all the time, but how she did enjoy playing with that big round ball they let her take sometimes. It used to frighten me so to see her throw it around and fall down on it, but she never got hurt. I only remember three or four times when she has given me any trouble, or I have had to scold her. Once she was exceedingly naughty to little Igor, but she was having a bad attack of the Hazing fever then, and sick children are always cross. Another time, when she was just outgrowing her babyhood, she ran away. It was time for her to take her last dose of medicine for Elocution, and she was nowhere to be found, but she didn't like to take medicine any better than children usually do, and I forgave her, for I suspected her older sisters led her on. The worst time I ever had with her was when she was quite a big girl, she was so determined to help her twin brother through all his scrapes that I really had to punish her, and then she grew angry and threatened to run away. On the whole she was remarkably good, and such a brave little thing. I remember her older sister tried to frighten her by telling her about an old ogre called Chemistry, whom she would soon meet. She clidn't say anything, but when they pointed him out to her she just walked up to him and took a good look, and behold he was the kindest and most interesting of fairies. She was most socially inclined from babyhood upward, always asking her twin brother to come and play with her. And how I do worry for fear they will all get drowned going 'up stream, together sometime. Yes, Igoo is the best of my daughters. Always ready -and so dear, old Mother Colby would have rambled on and on with her reminiscences, but a faint sound came Hoating to them and interrupted her. It grew louder, and suddenly she arose with a smile on her lips, while the College Spirit doffed his cap, for full and clear it was ringing in their ears :- V riixove, ziixove, who are we?

When hrst we came to college But we're no longer lonesome We looked for naught but fun, - And we're no longer blue, But soon, alas I they told our class, Another class has come en masse You're naught but Naughty One. And they are Naughty TWO M M R G Here at the goal, toward which we long have striven, We have arrived, although a wee bit late. Like Wordsworth's little maid we once were seven, But now We're eight. On this fair page you see us now presented, Each in her place, as sits she in the class, Showing to all our features represented B B C F D. H. L. P. M. R. E. As in a looking-glass. -Boastful she is by name but not by nature. Not often will you see her equal, the swate crature. -A tower of strength, she'd still serenely stand Tho' tempests herce should sweep across the land. -Though profs may frown or profs may smile, They ne'er can stop her, never, But like the brook of Tennyson, She still goes on forever. -A maiden you might bring from many a clime, Of many a charm the bearer, But she could never equal this, our pride, For she is Farrar. -Though stern and awful dignity she has in high degree, A youth was seen to pop', to her, upon his bended knee -One of our number you will find to be true blue, No one can be more sweetly kind than this same Lou.- -Rely not on her in a time of need, You'll find you're leaning on a broken reed. W.-Than she, no other better, loves goodjokes, At friend and enemy her fun she pokes. 73 History of 1901. Q Men. To many people last year it may have been a matter of surprise that our history, as it appeared in the ORACLE, had not the stamp of genuineness. WVe would explain, however, that we were very busy last year in our efforts toward humanity and civilization and had to leave the job to hirelings. A state of oppression existed in our beloved institution at that time and the principle of Irritation without relaxation '7 seemed to be in force. All that is now changed and we are proud of our war record, which see in the college archives. Our motto has been, Live and let livefl and we have attended strictly to our own business. True, we got on to 19007s Hooke a few times, but with no serious results except to the Bangor 1Ve'zv.s. Peace and tranquillity are the two conditions for which we have striven, and we are determined they shall exist in this college if we have to iight all through our course to bring it about. The gods, we feel, have been with us so far. Eros and Hymen have already given personal attention to na few of our class, and Zeus only knows what these warm spring days are bringing about. Even without the spontaneous testimonial of 198, we deem it a pleasure to state that the 1901 Co-ord is all rightf' Our relations have been pleasant and they have entertained us royally on more than one occasion. Here's to their health l ' The Freshman class has required somex of our attention, with results which will be appreciated in the future, we hope. Parents and guardians may rest assured that we shall do our duty by 1902. In conclusion, we will say that loyalty to each other, a resolve to succeed and not be pushed around are the characteristic qualities of 1901. Blest be the tie that binds I 71 Class of 1902. G Men.

Good old Colby's doors had opened for a multitude of years, And she'd watched each blessed Freshman shed his many quarts of tears. Had received her yearly offering from the country round about, And had kept her little chapel full of students, learned, devout. She had raised a mighty family straight and sturdy as she could, And her boys were all considered as unnaturally good. And her meagre number kept her till forth went the proclamation, We will nll the Halls this season with a gen'rous, large donation. II So they scraped the country over and took whatever did appear, And brought it all together at the opening of the year. And they strewed it round profusely with inconsequential care, Till each corner and the crevices became the Freshman's lair. There was Workman, more like Shirkman, in an inventory strict, And some co-ords, plump and rosy, that the other schools had skipped. And apologies of nature which escaped the last cremation Came to swell the doleful census of old Colby's last donation. . 111 Also Haggerty and Farwell pressed the cosords' cheerful GJ cheek, Likewise Beantsj enough to furnish half of Boston for a week g And some beings whose existence was due to Satan's love, Who didn't half appreciate their dwelling here above. So these Freshmen, green and awkward, on thejanitor were heaped, Fit to furnish Satan's furnaces with a most substantial heat. I All things unappreciated found this year their true vocation ln the Zero-two collection, known as Colby's last donation. ' IV There was Barber, Whose translations drove the moisture from .Iude's eye, There was Crawshaw, whose achievements made one hope that he would die There were Atchley, Thyng and Tuttle, and some other innocents, There was Wood, who long! had waited for his share of common sense, There was Johnston, longing dearly for the liquid of a lake, There were athletes that in practice of the beverage might partake, There were Bunie, Church and Bennett, who had long been on probation, Now received in full connection at old Colby's last donation. V Chapel opened all in splendor, but our Prexy, wrapped in gloom, Knelt before his congregation and his close impending doom 3 And his piety had never till that morning been so bright, For he prayed for those who brought him to that unexpected plight. But some worldly thoughts intruded, for he wondered o'er and o'er If he'd live to see them graduate and 'mongst immortals soar. And his fervent prayer concluded with the natural exclamation, Take me to Thyself in mercy, Lord, before our next donation. 75 Class of 1902. Q fe Women.

Q . f is' s lm 1 ,. 213 f :Z . .1 ROM time to time in the past, Colby has been obliged to sac- rifice those Who have become dear to her, and Who have contributed to her prosperity. This year the resignation of Miss Sawtelle comes home to the Women of Colby as a direct and personal loss. As the first Dean of the WOD1611,S College, Miss Sawtelle has Worked, for the most part, along untried lines. In this position her skill in organization, and the splendid success that has attended her work make her term of administration an epoch in the history of the college, and make her life and Work a subject of interest to all. Miss SaWtelle's father Was an honored alumnus of Colby, in the class of '54, and his distinction as Writer and preacher is Well known.. The first fifteen years of her life were spent in San Francisco, Cal. Wlieii her father moved to Chelsea, Mass., to become pastor of the Carey Avenue Baptist Church, Miss Sawtelle entered the Chelsea High School from which she graduated in 1880. Soon afterward she be- came a student in Kalamazoo College, Mich. In her sophomore year T39 - she taught French and English in the College, and although in 1885- 1886 she left to pursue her studies at the University of Michigan, at the end of a yearhshe was called back to Kalamazoo College as in- structor. After five years' Work there, she returned to the University of Michigan, from which she received her degree of Ph. B., in 1892. It was then that she came to Maine and became preceptress in Coburn Classical Institute. There she taught three years, and then resigned for the purpose of further study. The next year she spent abroad, chiefly in France, studying in the Sorbonne, Paris. Upon her return in the Fall of 1896, she accepted her present position of Dean of the 1fVomen's College, at Colby, and Professor of French. As three years ago, Miss Sawtelle resigned to better pursue her own studies and research, so now she leaves Colby to devote herself more exclusively to a period of study and literary pursuits that shall be free from the details of administration, for While Miss Sawtelle has given her best efforts to all the duties of her office, she has a Wide range of interest and a varied and liberal culture gathered from her knowledge of people and travel in foreign lands. She has been a fre- quent contributor to literary periodicals, and, with her sister, has published an 4' Clio of Verse. During her stay at Colby she has been known not merely through her connection with the College, but more broadly throughly her active interest in all educational matters, and she is now chairman of the Educational Committee of the State Federation of VVomen's Clubs. The discharge of duties so extensive and varied as those of the Dean of the iWomen's College, has called for the greatest versatility of talent, and abilities of the highest order. In this administrative work Miss Sawtelle has displayed the quick perception, the accurate judgment, and the firmness which characterize the model college gov- ernment. A quickness of decision and ready tact have been so blended with a rigid adherence to justice as to inspire a wholesome respect for authority, and willing acquiescence in all college regulations. ln the class-room work, Miss Sawtelleis instruction has been of a distinct and unique type. No Work was satisfactory but the best, and honest and searching scholarship has been the high aim and ideal. Her Own accurate and extensive learning has been an example of what was most genuine a.nd Worthy. There has been the constant aim to make college life Well rounded and a season of liberal culture. To this end, Miss Sawtelle has 140 p Dial Angus Matthew Frew. Q , 5:5 fjg, ':Q-ji , ' si T is with no slight satisfaction at the success of the college ,q , '-,':. in securing so able an instructor in physical training that 555, the ORACLE takes this opportunity of extending to Dr. Frew a hearty Welcome to Colby. lVe need not assure him of the place he already holds in the hearts of the boys. Coming to- us at a time when our athletics were at a low ebb, he gave himself up to the work with an enthusiasm which made him popular at once, showing by his hard Work with the eleven that he was not only eminently qualilied for such a position, but was Willing and eager to do all in his power to make Colby athletics what they should be. A r Dr. Frew seems to be perfectly at home in every department of gymnastic work, having a thorough understanding of this branch of college activity, and the excellent opportunity now offered the students for athletic instruction and training should induce them to devote more time and enthusiasm to this sadly neglected line of Work. l42 Dr. Frewv is a native of Glasgow, Scotland. He was born June 21, 1873, and came to this country at eleven years of age. He attended the Graniniar School, at Cambridge, Mass., and was grad- uated from Cambridge High. He also tool: a course of instruction in the Cambridge Manual Training School. After a short course at Tufts College, Where he was nieniber of the varsity eleven, he entered the College of Physicians connected with the Central University of Kentucky, and from this institution received his degree in 1898. During his course he showed surprising ability in athletic Work. In 1895 he was instructor in athletics at Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky, and in 1896 held a like position in the Central University of Kentucky. At both these institutions he served as coach forthe football teani. In 1893 the second prize for all-around Work in the Caledonian Athletic Club, of Boston, was awarded Dr. Frew, and in 1894 and 1898 he took iirst prizes. Early in the fall term he was secured by the faculty as Gymnasium Instructor at Colby, and during his stay among us, thus far, has become so generally liked that it is hoped he is a permanent iixture in that capacity. 143 brought to Colby women intellectual and niusical treats by providing various entertainments of the highest character. Nor has ethical and religious culture been neglected for the more strictly intellectual train- ings. By these means the undergraduates have made excursions into broader fields and have been made to feel that the college World was a part of the larger life outside. Especially have the students of to-day been brought into close association with the graduates of the past, and by the efforts of Miss Sawtelle, the Alumni association has been greatly strengthened and the Aluninm have been brought into vital connection with the college. In all Ways the WXTODJGHDS College has found in Miss Sawtelle, a champion to guard its rights zealously and extend its influence at honie and abroad. But to the young nionien Within the College Miss Saw- telle best revealed herself in the genuineness of her character and in her lofty purposes. In her they have found a personal friend, always approachable and sympathetic and a wise and safe counselor, and for this reason alone Words would be inadequate to express the respect, regard and love with which she has inspired the undergraduates. The association has been of priceless value, because it has re- vealed the personality of the genuine Woman, a personality Which shines out in devotion to bright ideals, both by precept and by ekani- ple. This may be regarded as the characteristic feature of Miss Saw- telle's life and Work at Colby.

Q HE college year now closing, presents in some respects, imi K. AT . - 31,6 rather distinctly marked contrasts to that recorded in the 'VK' . - . last issue of the ORACLE. This year has been unusually devoid of incidental features W of special interest. The former year witnessed the securing, for Colby, of the Maine Intercol- legiate Football honors, the victory in the intercollegiate debate, the baseball pennant, and the first places in the tennis tournament, singles and doubles. The musical organizations of the college were fat and iiourishingf, The treasury of the college received large ac- cessions. The year closed with anniversary celebrations of unusual interest, including the erection of the Lovejoy Tablet, the laying of the corner-stone of the new Chemical Laboratory, and the presence and oration of President Harper, of the University of Chicago. At the opening of the fall term of 1898-9, it was evident that we were, at least temporarily, to retire from the first place in football- and we did. It is not so evident what is to be the course of events in other intercollegiate relations, for the debate, the tournament, the track meet and the baseball season are yet to come. l1Ve are full of good cheer as to the prospect. Our musical organizations have, during the year, been neither dead nor sleeping. Vifhenever they have been heard they have won applause and given their friends satisfaction. But they appear to have possessed, this year, more artistic merit than business enterprise. The Echo has taken a new and vigorous lease of life during the past year. The present management rescued it from the financial muddle in which it was left and set it fairly on its feet again, so that the college has enjoyed a regular weekly news sheet with a literary number at regular intervals. College finances seem to be taking a rest. There appears to be good reason to expect an unusually interesting commencement Week, marked by class reunions, the opening of the new Laboratory, and the presence and oration of Professor Ira Remsen, of the Johns Hopkins University. Notwithstanding a part of what has been recited, the year has been one of the best in the history of the college. Like a tree, it has added its yearly ring of growth almost silently, but none the less T45 surely, perhaps the more substantially. Day has followed day ma1'ked by steady, uninterrupted attention to work, varied by social functions and public lectures and entertainments. But the college life has not been a mere repetition of the best features of former years, nor do we stand where we stood twelve months ago. Some things have been accomplished, long contemplated and of permanent significance. First to be recorded is our change of name. For thirty-two years we have eXplained,',. apologized for, or justified our designation, Q' Colby Universityf' That we have asked for and received the exchange of college for university, in our corporate name, does not imply censorious criticism of the fathers who named us otherwise. Thirty years ago it signified little whether an institution higher than the sec- ondary schools was called a college or a university. It was chiefly a matter of euphony. But with the sharp differentiation that has now taken place and the resulting consciousness of distinction, there can be no excuse for giving the name university to any institution confining itself wholly to under-graduate work and possessing no group of specialized, professional, graduate schools. The distinction between college and university is not between greater or less, but between things that differ. To feel this one has only to think of Dartmouth, Amherst, lfVilliams, and then of Columbia, Harvard, Hopkins, and Chicago. Those in one class are in every way as admirable as those in the other class, but they are different in construction and in func- tion. The opinion of the authorities that this change was expedient has been confirmed by the approval of under-graduates, alumni, the press, and the general public. Another advance step has been taken in the thorough revision of the two courses offered by the college. Not only is the new arrange- ment much better than the former, but enlarged opportunities are offered in Mathematics, Science, and Modern Languages. Vllhile Greek and Latin will, henceforth, be elective after the Freshman year, there will be no lack of opportunity for those who wish to continue in these subjects. The courses in the classics must, it would seem, be much improvedby the presence in advanced classes of those only who pursue these studies con cmwre, unhindered by those' who are there, unwillingly, by requirement. The series of college sermons has been,for us, a most welcome innovation. The preachers have, without exception, given us addresses of remarkable directness, interest, and power. Incidentally, they have 146 furnished varied, but excellent, examples of pulpit oratoryg and not the least resulting advantage has been the assembling under one roof of great audiences consisting of students of the college and representa- tives of the city congregations. This mingling of college and town in social and religious gatherings has wrought marked and much-to-be- desired changes in their mutual relations. The greatest visible change in the college within the year, and one of the first importance, is the erection of the Chemical Laboratory. Plans for this building were formed after careful examination of the best and most recently constructed laboratories in the country, includ- ing those at the Cambridge High School, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bowdoin, Hopkins, and the University of Chicago. The best features of these, so far as they were adapted to our use, have been embodied, and it is safe to say that We have one of the best buildings of its class. Utility has been chiefly sought, yet the build- ing is entirely pleasing td the eye. Its handsome stone walls, faced with red brick, make an effective contrast to the neighboring Memorial Hall, to the advantage of each building. The recessed entrance of heavy antique oak and ondoyant glass, with its mosaic pavement, is rich and dignified, and the vestibule, lecture hall, and laboratory, with their handsome steel ceilings, give an altogether delightful impression to the eye and mind. Cn account of the slope upon the crest of which the building stands, it presents three clear stories in the rear elevation, though only two in front. Laboratories, a coat room, a study parlor, a departmental reading room, offices, a janitor's room, and four large classrooms complete the conveniences of the building. Altogether it is a thing of beauty and will remain a joy forever if the thickness of its magnificent walls is any guarantee. On the whole, the year has witnessed a good deal of substantial progress for the college. If the contemplated reform in the method of assigning rooms, the promised renovation of the South College, the long-expected building for the WVomen's Division, and the much-needed Lecture Hall are all realized within the next twelve' months, the Oracular chronicler of 1899-1900 will have a cheerful task to perform. Here's hoping for it l 147 The Conversion of the Buddhist. Q ILLY EDVVARDS was a Buddhist. That does not mean that he offered prayers, flags, and dishes of rice to a bloomin' idol made of mudf but as far as the idea of gaining merit was concerned there is no reasonable doubt that Edwards was a devout Buddhist. His friend, Davison, had called him that, and he had studied comparative religions in the history of philosophy course and ought to have known what a Buddhist was. The merit that Edwards laid up was a social merit. He seemed to take great pleasure in calling on girls who he was sure would be out, and in invit- ing girls to dances or lectures who he had previously learned were going with somebody else. The chagrin and disappointment which he put on when they told him they were already invited was a touching sight to see. But as soon as he turned the corner he hugged himself to think how much merit he had gained in the eyes of the person in question, and particularly without spending' a cent, for in addition to his passion for merit he had the reputation of being near in the matter of spending funds upon the girls. The immense amount of merit which he added up to his account in the minds of theygirls, after ringing half a dozen doorbells and leav- ing his cards, existed almost entirely in his own imagination, but it gave Edwards himself great satisfaction. His room-mate, Robinson, had a steady Whom he regularly worshiped Saturday evenings from half-past seven till the imperative clang of the ten-o'clock gong, and Edwards bribed him to keep on the watch for chances of a merit hunt. It so happened that one day Robinson's goddess informed him that she and certain others of a musical club would be out the following Saturday evening to attend a rehearsal. Robinson faithfully reported the fact and early Saturday evening Edwards arrayed himself, not too heavily, as he said, but just well enough not to queer himself in case he happened to find some one of those girls at home. Davison and his 148 room-mate, Dexter, came up the stairs for a game of whist, and when they found the Buddhistps intent they cursed him as an idiotic jackass. The idiotic jackass responded with perfect serenity that he would be back in three-quarters of an hour and would then be glad to accommo- date the gentlemen in anything they chose to do. The door slammed behind him, and his enormous yellow tans clumped down the stairs on their errand of merit. Dexter expressed his candid opinion that Billy was a fool and he hoped he'd get into trouble one of these days, he thought the girls were beginning to get on to his tactics. Robinson said he thought they were too,-at least,-and here he looked consciously out of the window. Davison said that if he were converted from his Buddhism he would be all right and suggested that he be recommended to the missionary class, and they all agreed that the sooner he get rid of his crazy idea of getting social merit for nothing, the better it would be forall concerned. The subject of their discussion arrived on time, having pulled the bell at four different doors where he had owed calls, and left his cards with expressions of sincerest regret. He was feeling brash, there was no doubt about it. He smiled blandly as he related his successful expedition and told the boys that they had better learn of him the secret of social success. His elation was disastrous to the success of the game which they began on his return. He calmly trumped his partner's tricks and led the suits that his opponents trumped with care- less serenity till his partner knocked him over, chair and all, with a well-aimed sofa pillow and left the room in wrath. ' Edwards had for some time bragged a good deal about a Bangor girl he had met at a theater party, and since that time it was noticed that important business called him to Bangor several times. He let fall some dark hints one day which prompted the fellows to investiga- tion, and after a great deal of guying they learned that her name was Miss Blakeslee and that she was coming to VVaterville to spend a day or two with an aunt. It further leaked out that Edwards was planning to take the Bangor Beaut,'7 as Dexter called her, up the Messalonskee the next Saturday evening. He spent an entire afternoon elaborately fixing up his new canoe, and wore an absent-minded look all the week that showed he was anticipating Saturday with no little pleasure. It will be necessary at this point to introduce a new character, a character, however, not at all new to our friend, the Buddhist. There - T49 was a certain Emma Wlhceler in the co-ord department of the college, who gave him much mortiiication. She was the daughter of the Bev. Isaiah W'heeler, who presided over the country church which his family attended. In early childhood they had played together,-a fact made much of by the gossips of the sewing circle in their prophetic hints about the future of the two,-but a fact wholly due to the proximity of the minister's house to the Edwards farm. Billy had gone to the academy and then entered Colby. About a year after, he learned from home that Parson Vlheeler was going to send Emma to Colby, and Billyis mother hoped that he would make things as pleasant for her as possible by all the attentions in his power. From that day Billy Edwards was rabid against co-ordination, but still he honestly tried to do his duty. It must be explained that Emma was buxom and plain, to put the case mildly, and talked with unending effusiveness and emptiness. Some of the girls in her class said she was real sweet, and Dexter and the 'rest of the gang often quoted the remark in Bi1ly's presence and he could only gnash his teeth. She stuck to him tena- ciously at every party or reception where both were present, and yet to please the parson, who had encouraged his going to college, and his own family he took Emma up stream once a season and called faith- fully once a term. That was all he could stand, and his Buddhistic tactics never worked, for no matter how well he planned she was always at home. At the time of Miss Blakeslee,s visit the campus was enjoying a season of beautiful, early June weather, not the vile, dripping June weather, too well known in these parts, but the balmy, green and gold days that make men forget the original purposes for which they were sent to college and spend their days on the tennis courts and their evenings on the stream. Billy Edwards devoutly hoped that the good weather would last till Sunday, then he didn't care what happened. Robinson came up to the room one afternoon with the announce- ment, obtained from his usual information bureau, that Miss Wlieeler' was going home Friday afternoon, and wouldn't Billy like to go over to the train and see her off? The irrelevant remark was ignored, but the news inspired the Buddhist with a great and brilliant idea. Friday afternoon,--well,-Friday afternoon and evening he had an engage- ment which Emma was sure to know about, and Saturday afternoon at five he was going up stream with Miss Blakeslee. It was risky, perhaps 5 no, it was safe enough, he would do it. Emma was going 150 ' Friday and he would ask her for Saturday to go up stream. There would be merit stored up whichwould save him the necessity of actually taking herg he had been putting off the duty and here was the golden opportunity I and the villain chuckled with wicked mirth. But,-Miss WVheeler was delighted when Edwards invited her in the library before chapel, and in her high, nasal voice she told him, in common with everybody else in the library, that she was going home Friday, but she could stay on just as well, and she Yovecl to go up stream and in his new canoe, too, why it would be too lovely for any- thing. It would not be wise to attempt to describe Billy's feelings. He begged her not to stay on his account, any other time would be just as convenient, but no, she was afraid the lovely weather might not last, it was no trouble at all to stay, and so on. She was still talking when the unfortunate Buddhist sneaked out of the door. He ground his teeth with rage. Oh, if it would only rain! Both girls had accepted his bid for the same time, he must get assistance some- how. Robinson couldn't help him, he had an engagement, and he laughed like an idiot in a lit, Edwards thought. Dexter and Davison laughed worse, and Dexter was doubled up with whooping spasms five minutes after the Buddhist had told his dolorous story. Both agreed when they recovered their breath that it served Billy right, and he wondered how he could ever have found anything congenial in such heartless wretches as his friends proved to be. Davison said he had to be busy and couldn't help, but Dexter finally agreed to help out the luckless Buddhist on certain conditions. First, he should have the Bangor Beautn in a separate canoe, which Billy should pay for, and for his part he pledged himself to eternal secrecy on the painful topic. The Buddhist's wrath boiled over, but Dexter was firm against all entreaties to be fair,', and so it was finally arranged, including a piece of fiction to explain the situation to Miss Blakeslee, which DeXter's genius evolved. 1 ' Edwards mournfully trooped down stairs to recitation, but as he got outside he heard a window open above and Dexteris voice plaint- ively singing :- ' The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la, Have nothing to do with the case, I've got to take under my wing, tra la, A most unattractive old thing, tra la, With a caricature of a face, with a caricature of - but the victim had fled. ISI Saturday was fair and beautiful as far as the weather was con- cerned, but the experience of the afternoon and evening was not at all fair and beautiful for the Buddhist, who would have yearned for the oblivion of Nirvana if he had known anything about it. At last, at about half-past five, the two canoes were on the way up stream. Dexter was an accomplished lady's man, and Edwards' soul was devoured with jealousy, in addition to the rest of his woes, as he saw that Miss Blakeslee and Dexter were already on the most cordial terms, to say the least. Moreover, the cargo or ballast represented by Miss Wlheeler was considerably heavierlthan that represented by Miss Blakeslee, and Billy's mournful face streamed with sweat as he struggled to keep up with the other canoe. He whispered fiercely to himself as his partner made one foolish remark after another at the top of her voice. That idiot of a butter-tub, what will she say next? W he muttered, as she told what she had heard from the ifolksf' then how she loved canoeing,- thought a canoe ever so much prettier than a row boat and so kinder romantic. He could see that Miss Blakeslee was very much amused and the cup of his sorrows and wrath was full to overflowing. Dexteris canoe was constantly gaining, and Edwards was rather relieved to have Miss Blakeslee get out of hearing of the monster, the walrus, the whale, the elephant, the hippopotamus, as he severally termed Miss Vlfheeler in his thoughts. Another difficulty was that she would not keep still, as the precarious balance of a canoe requires, but would bounce and flounder in a manner most trying to Edwards' nerves and seamanship. Dexter, who was by this time some distance ahead, wait- ing for the other canoe to catch up, called back some laughing encour- agement to Edwards and at that moment Miss Wlheeler bounced heavily around to make reply-and over went the canoe. There was a lusty shriek, ending in a gnrgle, and a simultaneous roar'of pent-up fury from Edwards. RZiot.' was all he had time to say, but the word could have been heard many parasangs. Luckily, it was near shore where the accident occurred and the two streaming figures emerged, the girl in convulsive hysterics and her companion choking with wrath and Messalonskee. As soon as it was evident that there was no danger the occupants of the other canoe went off into gales of laughter and nearly brought about another capsizing. There was nothing to be done but to put for home, and Dexter and Miss Blakeslee, after expressing their regrets, decided to keep on, while Edwards emptied the canoe and launched 1 152 again for a homeward voyage. It was not a wholly pleasurable home- coming. Emma, bedraggled and sobbing, berated him all the way for taking her out in a horrid, dangerous canoe and nearly drowning her, and he hadn't been nice to her either, and she wished she had gone home, at which point Billy added a fervent So do If WVorse yet, he soon learned the urgent business that kept Rob and Davison that day, for he met them accompanied with their girls in a large boat, evidently out for a picnic supper at the Turn. That settled the matter of keep- ing the thing quiet, and Edwards imagined with what glee the story would be told all over college. It was dusk when the forlorn couple reached the boathouse again, and Billy succeeded in getting Emma to her door without attracting much attention, then he sneaked up to the Bricks, ran up the stairs and entered his room. The door shut with a bang that nearly snapped the hinges, then for a certain space a sound of many words floated through the ventilator, as the poor victim delivered himself of a long- pent-up soliloquy. It is to be hoped that the recording angel merely grinned and looked the other way, for certainly there was enough provocation and Billy Edwards was, as a rule, mild of speech. He did not feel any better either when, some days later, he received a letter of admonition from the Rev. Isaiah lfVheeler, nor when he saw Miss Blakeslee's photograph on DeXter,s mantel, but the experience had been good for his benighted soul, Davison said, for since that day Billy Edwards was no longer a Buddhist. 153 X f f x 71 3 gl 'l.I9a1', r x v-I -sf V' 'I W Wvrupfs 7.11 MM tigtf ' 2' f Y1. ., ,JL I ,, 4?

Q I think she's rather pretty, though Perhaps you wontt agree, At any rate, her looks I know Are good enough for me. She never gives me, what is more, A chilling glance or frown, She never hints that I'm a bore, Nor flatly turns me down. My hard-earned Shekel never goes To buy her heaps of candy, To pay for flowers, or for shows- I tell you, she's a dandy.

I 'S They are all of them conceited enough, goodness knowsf' said Katharine, as, with the assistance of her hat pin, she skilfully fished an olive out of the bottle. AThat,s true of every man in the college, replied Alice, but Jack Doane is by far the worst. Here, do some of you have some more fudge, girls, and she passed the dainty dish around. They were all collected in Katharineis room, six of the Junior girls, to have a spread and a good long chat, such as delights the girlish soul. Katharine and Alice were presiding over the tea table and chafing dish, while the other girls were piled up on the couch among the pillows. It is just dreadful, said Frances, coming out from a brief eclipse behind a huge, red pillow. Do you know what Jack Doane said? That heid bet he could go with any girl in the college. Isnit that dis- gusting ?,' A chorus of indignant Ohs lv and Ahs l answered her. And that isnit the worst of it, she continued. More than half the college men think just the same of themselves. Look at Ted Law- rence and Frank Campbell. Conceited things l Pd like to show them that they are very much mistaken. Her speech ended in a gasp, as she very nearly swallowed an olive stone in her indignation. Girls, I have an ideaf' cried Katharine, after Frances had been patted on the back and brought to rights once more. Let's form a club to suppress this awful conceit. Let's just show them that they are not as necessary to our happiness as they think. Oh, let's do it l VVou1dn't it be fun to take every one of them down a peg TW' ' But how in the world are you going to do it? i' asked Alice, who was of a practical turn of mind. We must, somehow, cried Frances, FH tell you what, Weill just freeze them, be awfully cool, out themxdead, never smile on them, never let them go home with us or take us anywhere, never - 155 lVhy, I think that would be horrid, said a pretty, brown-eyed girl, Who had not spoken before. I shouldn't like living in such a frigid atmosphere. It would be awfully tiresome never to accept an invitation or go anywheref' . Bess Jevvett, I believe you have a tender place in your heart for Ted Lawrence, cried Frances, but before Bess could indignantly reply, Katharine, who had been in a brown study, began to speak. Bess is rightf' she said, it would be Worse for us than for them. WVhy, if We made ourselves so disagreeable, We might as well settle down into blue-stockinged digs at once, but I have an idea, girls, if We can only carry it out. You see, as I said before, Fan's plan would never do, it would be too hard on us, so let's try this way. Let us be as charming as possible, positively beam on those poor creatures buried in' their own conceit, try to make them like us a little. In fact, it sounds a horrible thing for a girl to say, but We shall just have to lead them on, and then, when it will really be a blow to their pride, adopt Frances' method and drop them entirely. Of course We Wouldn't think of doing such a thing, she added, apologetically, but We do it as a charitable act for their good. It is our ,duty 5 they may not appreciate it at the time, but their pride must have a blow, or they will become positively unbearable? Katharine, you are a dear,'7 said Bess, coming over and sitting down on the floor at Katharineis feet 3 Nthat is a beautiful plan, We'll form a club at once. WVhat shall we call ourselves? Oh, I know, the Society for the Suppression of Conceit and the Overthrow of the Proud. 'iThat is rather a long name, isn't it?', asked Fan, doubtfully, but, no, I guess it is the best one We could get. It sort of expresses our principles, our motive, and our methods of Work all in one. Of course no one must know our real name, We shall have to call our- selves by the letters. Let's see, the S. F. T. S. O. My goodness, We never can remember all that l ' l Oh,,' said Bess, We'll call ourselves the S. O. C.s, that is, the Suppression of Conceit Society, and understand the rest. Now letis make our rules, and oh yes, we must have a president, Who shall it be? you, Katharine ? H Oh no, Alicef' said Katharine, she is more sedate, has a more presidential air Worthy of such a remarkable society. As for rules, We probably sha'n,t need many. Of course our principles must be under- 156 A l I 4 l l l I l A 'V V-4 Q.: --Hi stood, that is, we are to be very kind to certain individuals, floundering deep in their own conceit. 1 And that means Jack Doane more especially than any one else in college, murmured Alice. Yes, of course, Jack and Ted and the 1'est of them,', continued Katharine, and when we think they fully appreciate our kindness and ourselves, all such kindness is to cease at once. This is to be practiced, however, only upon the really conceited, and then for their own good. It is 'to be understood we are sacrificing ourselves and our ideas of the really ladylike to save them from themselves and-well we may as well confess it, for revenge, but really I think the end will justifythe means. ' Good, good, Katharine, cried Alice, clapping her hands, and we'll meet once a month and talk it all over, and report how things are going, each of us 5 and remember, when the society unanimously agrees it is time for anyone to stop being kind, why stop they must. My goodness, ,look at the clock l and I have a French lesson to get to-night. Come, skip, girls. Kate and I must study, and remember she added, as the girls laughingly filed out, we are now a society. Three cheers for the S. O. Cs. 1 It was barely two days later when Alice came flying into Bess's room. Just look out the window, quick l she cried to Bess and Frances, and in an instant three brown heads were framed in the square of glass. Wl1y, said Bess, in an awed tone, it is-yes, it is Jack Doane walking down from recitation with Katherine. See how prettily she is smiling at him I Do you know, she is the dearest girl? I don't see how he can help liking her, in fact, I believe he would have long ago if she would have let him. Isn't this a chance for for the S. O. Cs? Great,,' said Alice, If you'll only do as much for Ted Law- rence. lWhy, if we can reform two of them by commencement we shall be a success for this year, anyhow. I It was not many weeks before the S. O. C.s grew tired of run- ning to tell each other every time Jack Doane was seen with Kath- arine, it was such a common occurrence. Wlieii they heard the other girls who knew not the delight of being an S. O. C. speak of his manifest worship at the shrine of Katharine, they smiled delightedly at each other. ' 5 157 In March the S. O. Cfs held their first meeting, and one windy, rainy day found them all gathered in Katharine's room, along with the inevitable plate of fudge. It is my private opinionf' began Alice, that in one or two cases the real suppression of conceit had best begin at once. In these one or two cases the first half of the principle has been carried out wonder- fully well. You two, and she nodded at Bess and Katherine, have been kindness personified, and now you had better begin to freeze up. It's high time fora frost, don't you think so, girls ? Yes, I do, said Frances, now is the time. VVe expect you two girls to be our bright and shining illustrations of the S. O. C. princi- ple for this term. Perhaps by next year the rest of us may be able to illustrate, too. - VVell, I like this, said Bess indignantly, here we havn't had but a month to make them appreciative, and Iim sure I don't want to give up going to the rest of the lecture course, do you Kate? N o, said Kate, I don't, and I really think 'twould be better to wait another month, anyway, but of course we must do as the girls sayf Don't you think, girls Mr. Doane, had better appreciate me alittle more ? 7, Appreciate you a little more l groaned Alice. Goodness if he does, the rest of us will never have a chance to see you. Katharine, dear, youire su1'e you won't get to like him? Like'him 1' Why, Alice Bailey, you know I'll never like anyone while I'm in college, and him of all people, of course he's nice and all that, but-ff The but was so significent that the girls were convinced, and then forgot all about the matter while Bess explained a new receipt for for a rarebit. i The days went by, and the Spring came with all its glory of new born life. The buds began to open, and the grass to grow green. It was just the time for long walks out into the country and long afternoons spent in boating on the dear old stream, and the days flew by on swift wings, ,till it came commencement. It was a soft warm day, the very last day of commencement, and the S. O. C.'s were to have their last meeting in the afternoon. In fact it was nearly time for it now. In her room Bess stood before the glass pinning back a few refractory locks, and apparently talking the matter over with 158 herself, or was it with the picture of a stalwart young man which stood on the dressing table? ' I suppose, Ted, those girls will tell me to-day that I've got to begin to be cool to you, that I have got to give you up, and they will say it just as calmly as if I hadnit a feeling on the subject. I just shan't though, for that society was to suppress the conceited, and you're not a bit conceited after anyone knows you. You are just a dear. Of course they won't think so, though, and I'm not sure I should want them to. Well, here-goes for a bad time of it. I suppose they're all sitting there waiting for me, and with a resigned sigh she hastened down the hall to Katharine's room. i As she looked about on entering she thought they were all there, but no, Katharine herself was missing. Well, I'm glad I'm not the last one, she remarked, sitting down. Kate is even later than I, isn't she?'f I should think she wasf' said Frances, she never seems to get around to meetings lately. In April she didn't come, because,-oh yes, she had to write her Junior article, and in May she had gone up stream with Jack Doane. I believe we pardoned her that time, on the ground that she was to begin the second half of the treatment for conceit then, but dear me, when she got home, she said she had decided, she had best begin some other time. Now will you injorm me, Alice, where she is now? i' VVell, she's gone up stream again, said Alice. She said she would be back on time though, and that she certainly would report-why, here she is now, for the door opened and Katha- rine swept in, warm and breathless, with a pretty flush on her face. Oh, girls, I am so sorry I'n1 late, she said with a little conscious look at the clock, 'Q but I hurried awfullyf' and she took off her sailor, and began to fan herself vigorously with it, as she sank down' on the couch. Well, said Alice, now you have got here you may as well report at once. 'We were just speaking oflj' but she stopped sud- denly in surprise, for a burning flush covered Katharine's face, and suddenly she precipitately retired behind the sofa pillows. Oh, girls, came a smothered voice, what shall I do? How can I tell you? I don't care 5 if itihadn't been for that old society it would never have happened, for if it hadnit been for that, I should never have had one thing to do with Jack, and you, all called him conceited and I 159 K supposed he was, and he isn't one bit, he's just dear, and you know I vowed I wouldn't be engaged while I was in college, but I have gone to work and -- and accepted him, and I don't care if I have, and she suddenly came up from among the pillows and looked around defiantly at the girls. ' There was silence for a moment 5 then Bess rose, and coming slowly across the room, sat down by Katharine. I should like to say, girlsj' she began in her pretty, slow drawl, that for my part I shall stand by Katharine and - Ted Lawrence? I-Iorriiied astonishment was written on the faces of the other four girls. ' To think of having onets roommate engaged I began Frances, but Alice interrupted her as she rose slowly and began to speak. The Society for the Suppression of Conceit will disband at once without further Pl'6ll1l1l112lIl6S,n she said gravely, and, walking across the room she bent and kissed Katharine. MARY G.

Let them feel no breath of the fearful Thing That rides in the shade of the Wind's dark wing. -MARION STUART REED, 1901 162 The End of the Program. G AVISON said that he would be glad when the Class Day exercises were finally over. It was hotter than a certain torrid locality he could think of, up there on that open-air platform, and it was silly to have to sit up there where every one could gawk at you as if you were a dime museum. He reflected, too, that if he looked as cussed as he felt he must be a perfect gargoyle. His chum, Dexter, over there seemed to be enjoying him- self and was making divers pleasant gestures with his eyelids to a party of relatives who nearly filled anentire settee near the front and were fairly bursting with pride. Dexter had just done a noble song and dance in his address to under-graduates and Davison had also done a great stunt in the exer- cisesfof the morning, but there happened to be no relatives to swell with pride for him.. His family lived too far away to attend, being what Dexter called his distant relations. It was this, in fact, that had made Davison out of sorts, he felt hungry for the sight of some of the folks, though openly he avowed that he rejoiced that he wasn't going to be swamped with relatives and friends, graduation exercises were enough of a nuisance without having a huge family party in tow to beg tickets for. . The tiresome bore that had been reading something out there in front finished at last and the class shuffled off the platform to cheer the Halls. Davison acknowledged to himself that he needed cheering more than the Halls for his pessimism had reached a bad state. As the class broke up and mingled with the crowd some of the fellows ex- pressed pious gratitude that the exercises were over, and he responded that he was glad that college was over, too. He had spent four years here and he wondered if it had paid, he was glad to be through and he wanted to get to doing something. The others expressed the opinion that Davison7s girl had thrown him down on his commencement invita- tion and advised him to shut up and sleep off his grouch. 163 He decided, however, that he would take a last stroll around the scenes where he had wasted so much time, as he expected to take the early train the next morning, Dexter, of course, was engulfed in bil- lows of relatives, and would probably be lost to view for an indefinite period of time. . , . Colby men are always proud of their campus and it looks its very best at Commencement time. Over the velvety lawns, along the trim walks, under the maples and elms, moved the troops of gaily dressed visitors, under-graduates, townspeople, black-gowned Seniors, now for the most part tending toward the street. 'D Davison made his way to Memorial Hall and went into the chapel, skillfully dodging parties of inquisitive visitors who persist in asking silly questions. There were the scarred old pews, carved over with the devices of classes and fraternities and the initials of the sculptors. There were the Freshman seats-he could almost feel' again the sensa- tion of a hymn book on the back of his head, which a Sophomore had heaved, on the first morning of chapel4memories of the times he was wooded up, of the times he had cut, and many others crowded on him as he turned and crossed over to the library. There it was, looking as it had looked for years, the splendid head of Milton, the ghostly plaster casts of dead and gone professors, the crayon portraits of other professors, with straggling whiskers and cleslzabille neckties, suspended in a mournful row around the gallery, while opposite the magazine tablethe sleeping image of Buddha wore the same silly smile,-every- thing was familiar, and it seemed impossible that he was no longer to spend his time in there as he had during the past four years. Most of the visitors had gone as he stepped out again, the sun was low, casting broad, yellow streaks over the lawn beneath the trees and gilding the chimneys of the old bricks. Davison decided that he could make a satisfactory supper in his room, so instead of turning back to the club, kept on down the willow path toward the river. The willows were particular friends of his as they were of his father in the sixties, and he looked with real affection on their great, weather-beaten trunks and the graceful boughs that swayed lightly in the breeze, and found himself beginning to regret that he was going to leave them on the morrow. Beyond them lay the river and he found it difficult to decide which he liked better, the wil- lows or the river, but he felt sure that the combination was perfect. It was the river in which he had swum summers, on which he had E 164 skated and snowshoed by winter, for four years. The -river walk he had taken hundreds of times and he was in no hurry to leave it. He had rehearsed his speeches down there for the summer exhibitions, he had been there in the fall when the air seemed asleep in a blue haze and the sumachs lining the walk were a blood red, and the rustle and scent of ripening leaves came up on thelazy river breeze, and he had been there in the early spring when great, yellow freshets came plunging between the banks with their grinding, crashing cakes of ice and broken timber. , As he walked to the upper end he looked back to the railroad bridge that loomed up about a mile below. There, crossing the bridge, he had caught his first glimpse of Memorial Hall and the Shannon Observatory, and his young Freshman heart had leaped at the sight. It was about here under this tree, not long after, thought he, that a certain silvery-tongued Senior had talked very seriously with him and had pledged him to his fraternity. Memories grave and gay came thick and fast upon him and it was getting dusk when he shook himself together and climbed up the bank toward the Athletic Field. There was that gridiron where he had sweated and toiled every fall term since he entered. He could not remember with exultation a long, brilliant run down the field, with crazy sidelines hoarsely shouting his name 5 he had been in the line and knew only the romance of being buried, wrenched, and stamped on, with an occasional furious dive with the ball through the opposite line.. But he had helped win some magnificent victories, he thought, proudly, and he began to wish he could get into it again next fall, four years was too short for a liberal education, anyway. There, too, was the old cinder track, he wouldn't be humping around that any more either, but he felt sure that if he had another chance he could crack the record, another spring he would probably spend on an oflice stool in the city, and he felt that he was too young to begin steady work like that. Old Coburn Hall loomed up before him against the western glow 5 there were memories of chemistry, laughable now but not so funny then, and Davison smiled to himself as he strolled through the campus back to'South College. It was quite dark by the time he found himself in his corridor and fumbling for his key. The room was dark and the feeling of loneliness came over him again. He was glad the room was dark as he and Dexter had dismantled everything for departure. The old banners and trophies, the photographs of athletic teams, and Dexter's enormous gallery of girls were all taken down and packed away. x Davison went to the cupboard and made a quick lunch, of cake, crackers and jelly, and then sat down on the window seat and looked out on the willows and the moon which was just rising behind them. It was very comfortable and pleasant just there and he reasoned to him- self that he didn't intend to get out his dress suit for the reception at Memorial Hall, which would be stiff anyway, and the promenade concert he could hear from the window as well as downlbelow. He wished Dexter were with him-he was going to miss his old chum terribly next year, how glad he always was to get back from vacation and see him again. U The concert had just begun, when the door opened and Dexter came in. 'Q Hello, old man, I've been looking for youg I cou1dn't find you at the Club, and I've shook the folks at the reception-where have you been? Well H, said the other slowly, I've been to find out that I was a liar, when I said I was glad to get out of this. Dexter joined his friend on the window seat and the two' were silent for a moment. You're right, said Dexter, Weave reached the end of the program, and I'm sorry, God bless the old College anywayf' Amen, replied his companion earnestly, and when the band had reached the end ofizfs program, and the lights had gone out in the windows of Memorial Hall, the moon, high in the branches of the giant trees, shone on two thoughtful faces that still looked out in silence and regret, down on the willows and back through the four college years which that night came to an end. 166 1 ' IND O . , 5' k ' - 4 I .

The good Knight, Who while on earth Was a great traveler and liar, visits the' upper world on condition that he report the strict truth. The following is a letter addressed to his friend and kindred spirit, Baron Munchausen : MY DEAR BARON z- p In the course of my wanderings, of which I have told thee, I came upon a place where were many trees and great buildings. I beheld there a youth and asked, him what these buildings be and he saith it was a seat of learning, yclept Colby, and he saith moreover that he Would shew me the sights of the place right willingly, for, saith he, if thou Wentest with Samm it would cost thee a quarter. But his meaning I wot not for he was a springald of strange speech and I knew not who this Sainm could be. I told' the youth who I was and he 1nar- velled greatly thereat, and saith yea I have read thy book and verily thou wast as stout a liar as ever drew breath excepting,-forsooth, Baron Munchausen. Alack, good Baron, thou seest that our sins do live after us. ' ' . Then the lad shewed me the buildings whose names I wot not, and two great brick ones. Quoth I, be these prisons, good sir, and he said nay, these be where we sleep and con our parchments, Whereat I mar- velled again for they were exceeding grim. Then he shewed me a great field with gallows-posts at each end and lo I beheld many wights, clad in strange skins and in divers colors, and these did crouch opposite each other and all at once leap at each other like beasts and they maltreated each other sorely and my heart was wroth at the sight. Who be these churls, quoth I, scufliling thus? And he saith they are practising a sport, football, and lo as he spoke a stout fellow did seize the ball and run full mightily, then a scurrile knave did also run and seize him by the legs and trip him so that he fell heavily to the earth. Then was my soul Wroth and I cried, Abaddon seize thee, thou murrain cur, that 168 was soothly a cait-iff act. But the youth that was with me caused me to be silent, and I marveled again for he and many others cried good tackel and shouted for joy. Moreover he saith these who did so wallow in the dirt were the men who came to con their parchments and were paid nothing for thus lighting and toiling, but forsooth they pay much monies to be able to maul each other thus and do it of their own free will. Yet I saw some lying as if dead and others with grievous bruises. Marry, by the Roodl I see nothing to spend monies for where there be no knightli- ness or chivalry, but only dirt and wounds. Verily these folk have strange customs and verily I tell thee the truth, or thou knowest I would return to thee sooner than I would. Moreover as we turned back, we met a small Etliiop, who smiled, and the youth saith that he was a great potentate that ruled this land like unto the Great Khan or Prester John. I stood in great awe but the youth made no great obeisance and I marvelled again. As we passed a certain building there came forth a great concourse of youths exceeding gladiand noisy. WVhat meaneth this? quoth I, and he saith they have a cut. Alack, good sir, quoth I, I wot not what you say. I-Ie saith then that these youths had not the instruction on that hour that they expected and therefore they rejoiced. Then, said I, doth it not rob them of their due if the learned man teacheth them not that for which they pay monies? The foul fiend fly away with thee and thy jesting l By the Virgin, thou liest in thy teeth l' Thereon he told me to go-whence I have come, and saith that he spake truly. Moreover we saw some damsels and some were fair to see and some were not, and the youth called them, Co-ords. Verily their raiment and their head-dresses were strange and diverse even for these folk, and I did recognize certain fashions which I saw when I was liv- ing in the flesh, four centuries ago. As even fell we did buy meat and drink and as we returned we passed a building whence came strange sounds like the wailing of the lost. I was smitten with fear and prayed to St. Swithen, but the youth bade me be of good cheer, and from what he said I learned that there be an order of monks named by letters Y. M. C. A. These chant the noises to frighten away the Devil. In sooth it was grievous. Then said the youth, I will show you the beauties and customs of the city. Its name he saith was Whislceyville, from the name of a stout liquor that is sold there in great measure. Moreover in this city 169 the side of the street is sacred ground and it is a great crime if any that go upon Wheels ride upon any part of it. He that doeth this is haled to prison and hath to pay a ransom. This be a law that is worshipped. But there be another law that no strong waters be sold and this law is held in great derision by the magistrates and reeves who, quoth the youth, be men of sterling character and nobly uphold the dignity of the law before men. I wot not what he meant. He shewed me also a great pit in the centre of the town where a building was begun, but lo a wizard laid a magic spell called Injunction upon it and the work stopped forthwith and the stones lie useless. This was a great marvel. A greater wonder he showed me, a man who had committed no sin forthe past ten years and I would have done reverence to the holy man, but the youth did close one eye for a brief space and he saith that it was likely true for he had soothly done nothing else for the past ten years, and I understood him not. Then he bade me good den and sent his devoirs to thee and hoped that thou didst not suffer overmuch from the heat, which I wot well was a jest. 3 Farewell, . JOHN MAUNDEVILLE, KT.

It was half-past seven by the nickel alarm clock on Mart's mantel-piece when the Grand Scribe entered the room. This does not signify at all that it was half-past seven, on the contrary it was just eight o'clock, but the clock was bought in Guilford and was Methodist in its convictions at that, so it lost ten minutes a day and was set only on Sundays. However, it is true enough to remark that it was half-past seven by Mart's alarm clock when the Grand Scribe entered and exchanged the sacred grip with the Patriarchus Sanctissimus, who was waiting to receive his guests. - A loud noise was heard in the corridor and the scribe remarked that it sounded like Maling's necktie, and sure enough, Treene entered in the full blaze of his new suit, which is generally understood to be his, from the fact of his being the present manager of the Echo. .He also wore the deafening ascot and had his second-best smile tightly stretched for the occasion. VVhile a space was being cleared for his feet between the stove and the window-seat, the door opened again and Hanson's massive mustache appeared in the doorway, followed at a respectful distance by Hanson himself. Mart then went down stairs to borrow something, and while he was gone, Spencer and Brown joined the brethren, the former, almost invisible for the smile of expectation that was festooned about his ears. A moment later, a long, snaky leg crooked itself over the threshold, followed by its equally graceful partner, and Mart had returned. Brethren, are we all here? We are, Patriarchusf' came the response. Before we get to the real business of the evening, we have a painful duty to perform, l'Mart continued, Sheeny Maling, here, alias Mammon, Treene, is guilty of a heinous offense, Nothing new, remarked Spencer. Trun him out, suggested the Scribe. This villain, continued Mart, was given a large amount of candy by a lily maid in Portland, for the Epicureans, and he ate it all before the rest of us had a smell of it. What is your verdict, gentlemen ? Trun him out, repeated the Scribe. Nay., let mercy season justice, he shall be reduced to the hfth degree and under censure until he provides another treat. All the rest of the brethren cried amen, and the sentence was duly recorded. It has also been suggested, said the Patriarchus, that we take in a new mem- ber. VVhat is your mind on this point? 173 IVe might do like the Cigma Carpers, and initiate a member of the faculty, suggested Spencer, there's Hull, he's got all the noble requirements for a consistent and faithful Epicurean. lid like to work the goat on him, too. I think,'l said Treene, eyeing Brown severely, our last experience at getting a new member would not warrant any more experiments. I move that we do not increase our membership. The motion was carried, and at this point Mart passed a box of cream cakes around, and for a season there was a mushy, creamy silence. The lovely fronds of Mart's mustache rose and fell as the cream cakes disappeared beneath, and his eyes were turned blissfully heavenward. Then he remarked, rather thickly at first, we must have a word from our new member, and Brother Brown is called on for a few well-chosen remarks. Then dropping into his orthodox camp-meeting drone, I-Iaven't you a few words of testimony, my brother? Wirt arose, licked the crumbs from the corners of his mouth and looked hopelessly at the cake on the table. Then he eyed an ink spot on the carpet and contemplated with further interest a grease spot on the wall. Ahem-er, I feel like the man in Prexyls story, I am glad-er, how was it? Oh yes, I am not fur to the end like the tail of a cat, but I suppose I am bound to occur like the tail of a dog. A groan burst from his afflicted audience. You mean, snorted the Scribe, L' you mean you are more like the tail of a cat, you can stand up, but you are not much of a Wag. That'll do, thanksji drawled Spencer, and both Wirt and the Scribe subsided, while Mart served the ice cream and ginger ale. He had difficulty in opening one of the bottles, and W og suggested that he try prayer, as he had opened about everything else with that since he came to college. Mart groaned, and replied that the cover was tough but he was glad it wasn't a hard shell Baptist, and laughed his epileptic lit laugh. Say, Henryjl observed Treene to Spencer, I heard a good thing about your cheesy orchestra. ' Dasso? I hear good things about it all the time. lfVell, said Treene, carelessly, I heard some ladies in the audience say that the orchestra wasn't in tune last night, and I thought so myself. Tune ! 'I sputtered Henry, through his spoonful of cream, iune I why, for Cram's sake, why, good land, the only tune you know anything about is a spittoon, 1 anywayf He caught a sofa pillow on his nose and it spilled cream on his new coat in con- sequence. Brethren, said Mart, mildly, trying to quell the tumult, let brotherly love prevail. Pass the candy. Let us rejoice that we are not as the poor Canucks in Win- slow, down with the small-pox. Yes, said the Scribe, with a sigh, edging over in front of the window to escape projectiles, I fear they are to be pitted. Wog was the first to tumble, and went into one of his apoplectic convulsions, growing worse every minute. Gee, I shall die, he gasped. Give him water, suggested Wfirt. If he is going to die, said Mart, unfeelingly, give him the whole pitcherful, he will need all he can get in the next world, and then finished with one of his war whoops. lVell, he resumed, patting his waistcoat and pushing away an empty dish, I've reached my limit. i 174 You did well, said Wog, but I knew a man in Skowhegan, who ate a hearty meal six times a day-honest-and one day he drank one hundred and forty-four bottles of beer. That's the truth. Truth is stranger than the college catalog, observed Spencer, after a shocked silence. just think, said Wirt, looking at Hanson, reproachfully, that man is going to Newton, next year. Look here, Ananias Hanson, youv'e got to quit some of your bad habits, his room-mate added severely. - You knew what the girl said about his being not half so good as you'd think he was, he continued, speaking to the rest, and that mustache of his, too. That mustache ought to be protected, said the Scribe, because it is a growing industry. But I want to know where he got that sporty girl's photograph that he has been showing. I don'tthink much of that, said Treene, who had recent disappointments among his girls, and who was a woman-hater, just then, H she is like a co-ord's hat, old and homely, and - a riotous sculile ensued at this point. Wog hit him a clip on behalf of the girl, and Wfirt pasted him for the sake of the co-ords 5 all the brethren took a share in the excitement, ending in a hot pursuit of VVog down the stairs, who was coughing up outrageous puns as he Hed. The room was deserted, save for a mouse that ran out from its nest behind Mart's Life of john Wesley and finished up the crumbs which were the only tokens left of the meeting of the Epicureans. Q. Now Simon isn't vicious, But still I think you'd better Look out for him, by mighty, ' When he has on his sweater ! 175 Wog's Mustache. AND How IT GREW. Q Oh Woggins was ajolly soul, His cheeks were fat and round, His stature was such ' twouldn't hurt him much If he slipped and fell to the ground. . His bouncing gait and his merry smile Were a cheering sight to see. ' Twas more than fun to hear him pun And choke with inward glee. But Wog upon his upper lip Once cut a bloody gash, And straightway he swore he'd shave there no more But grow a good mustache. His room-mate, Treene, could raise no beard And Henry hadn't a hair, So he chuckled inside, as he thought with pride How all the girls would stare I He stroked that lip caressingly, And Treene has let it out, He used atomizers of beard fertilizers To help the crop to sprout. The bristles grew both thick and fast, Stuck straight out from his face 5 They were stiff they were strong, they were ruddy and long And still they grew apace. The wintry winds upon them played A wild Aeolian strain, And Wog then declared that he was prepared To shave them oi? again. 176 He tried it once, the razor broke, The spikes were stiff as quills, And Treene has endeavored, on one that was severed To file his Ecko bills. Now Woggins' mustache has hidden his face And grown so long that to-day, It's pretty hard luck, but the ends he must tuck In his belt to keep out of the way. So if you should see a vision most strange That looks like a mass of hair, Traversing the street on two little feet, Don't let it give you a scare. You'1l know it is Woggins, beware of his fate, Donlt try to be too brash, Be sure that your beard's not too strong to be sheared Before you raise a mustache. Q. You'd think that he was modest, He seldom chews the rag, But isn't it a Marvell that He is so fond of Bragg? 177 It Really Might Be Worse Q You think sometimes your luck is bad, . The world seems down on you, You groan and talk of suicide, You feel downcast and blue. Brace up, you're not so badly oft, Your luck you needn't curse, Think wisely of your case,-you'll ind It really might be worse. A man once asked the girl he loved Up stream to take a row, She said she was engaged,-that with His rival she would go. I've lost my girl, Said he but then Luck isn't all perverse, I've saved a half a dollar-so It really might be worse. A corner room, a wintry wind, A lad doth freeze to death, He weeps an icicle or two And gasps with dying breath, Although I'm perishing with cold To death I'm not averse, I'm going where it's warmer, so It really might be worse. A Watervillian grimly said As jags reeled up the street, Monopolizing sidewalk room With their uncertain feet, I'm sorry liquor is so free, But then it fills the purse Of our custodians ofthe law,- It really might be worse. 178 I As Teddy took a cherished tome Down from its dusty sheltf He saw a bookworm there long since Had calmly helped himself. VVell, well, said Teddy- still I see This worm has learned to nurse A literary taste,-and so It really might be Worse. Perhaps you think this sort of thing Has gone on long enough, And you would designate this rhyme As rather feeble stuff, But you would say, if you but knew That this inspired verse Was only writ to fill up space, It really might be Worse. 'Q Simon Peter Hedman, Alas degenerates, We soon will have to ship him To Orono, or Batesg just notice when he's getting queered, Or when he tries to thinkg And you will all agree with me That Simonls on the blink. 179 Black Convicted of Time-Slaughter. B Details of the Famous Trial. h .judge-Earlon Kent Guild. Clerk of court-E. L. Herrick. The clerk read the indictment, which charged j. Wm. Black, Ph. D., with killing time. Hudson, the prosecuting attorney, opened the case after the jury was impanelled. This took some time, for none of the upper-classmen could be found who were un- predjudiced and the prisoner claimed the right ofjudgment by his peers according to the privileges of the Magna Charta. The claim was granted by judge Guild and a jury of the faculty was impanelled as soon as the members could be found. It was as follows : Nathaniel Butler, foreman, Hall, Elder, Taylor, Warren, Pepper, Bayley, Stet- son, Roberts, Marquardt, Hull and Hedman. The jury,was in charge of Sheriff Charlie jones. The prisoner was brought in heavily manacled, blushing and anxiously stroking his chin, and County Attorney Hudson opened the case for the prosecution. Martin, Stevens, McCombe and Pillsbury were sworn as witnesses. Martin objected to swearing and was allowed to testify without oath. QM. on the witness stand.J , County Attorney.

For a while Time succeeded in dragging along, but the accused renewed his attacks and succeeded in completely exhausting him, and finally killed him. Martin retired. ' Stevens then testihed. C. A.

One hour. tStevens retiredj Pillsbury then testified to hearing the story of the Trappists five times, but McCombe was expelled from the court room for undignified conduct. 180 Dr. Hill came in and testified to the condition in which Time was found. Stet began to laugh and asked the Doctor if he was sure Time had not died of the Black Death. He continued to laugh over his pun, until threatened with violence by the sheriff The prosecuting attorney then addressed thejury. You know, gentlemen of thejury, the prisoner at the bar stands answerable for one of the most heinous crimes in the annals of history. Well, now, you have heard he testimony of these witnesses of unimpeachable integrity. The defense can't pro- duce a single witness. They can't prove anything. Now, then, what will you do? Don't you see? What ! why render a verdict according to the evidence of course. fl-Iere red in the face and perspiring profusely he sat down utterly exhaustedj The prisoner and his counsel, Sam Osborne, had disagreed about the counsel's fee. Sam declared that he never did aservice for less than a quarter and left in great rage and with much words. ' The prisoner was left to conduct his own case. He rose and addressed the court and jury, This business, you know, is perfectly despicable. Now don't you see it don't foller from any datta that Mr. Hudson gave that there was any such stattus at all. He don't even pronounce his words right, a feller like him is apt to get excited too. That's the trouble with lots of people-there's Egan, he got excited you know, and Aguinaldo, he got excited too. But he isn't any use, you know, none of the Filli- pinos are, they don't know anything about economics, we're got to treat them just like the negroes, you know, in the South. , tjust here, Bill muttered contemptuously, Aw you're away off in the bushes, and Prex whispered to Hull, who was laugh- ing, It's a case of total recall, thatis it exactly. The prisoner hearing only the last word.j Yes, exactly, exactly, the South by the way is a great and chivalrous country.

We will have to stop at this point, today. tPrisoner takes his seat.J The brawny sheriffthen took the jury out and they talked over the case. What is your opinion, gentlemen P said the foreman. I don't see but what from A to Z, first and larst and all the way through the list, the man is guilty, said Rob. The others were of the same opinion and the jury returned. The foreman made his report. I Your honor, I am glad to say that the work of the jury has been characterized by the utmost unanimity and the .heartiest cooperation. As an Irishman once said, -U-Iere the Court interrupted and called for the decisionj Well, after due deliberation and weighing of the evidence, we have rendered the verdict,-which under ,the circumstances was the only verdict which could have been rendered,- gui ty. The prisoner looked amazed as he was summoned to the bar. The judge put on his black cap and addressed the prisoner. I should like to arsk, sir, ifyou don't see that you are proven guilty by the very exuberance of your verbosity? Yet for the slumber that overworked students have gotten in your class-room, sir, I see fit to lighten your sentence. I find you, sir, guilty of Time-slaughter and sentence you to attend chapel every morning for three weeks, sir. When this sentence was pronounced, the jury were visibly agitated. Cosineis glasses were moved two tiers, and Stet fainted and had to be carried out. As the last parasang of him passed through the door, the prisoner was led away to his doom, and the court adjourned. A Winter Episode. G My name is Harvey Bishop, I preach and purge with hyssop , The souls of all my hearers down in Maine. I can drive a Grecian pony, But I think I look more tony, When I drive my big old farm-horse Lady jane. But listen to my ditty, My girl came to the city, I needs must at the livery hire a span.

Scarce had the girl alighted, The horse became affrighted, ' I grabbed the reins andjumped into the sleigh 3 Then down the street like madness, My heart was filled with sadness At thought of what the livery man might say. That horse, he was a smasher, He kicked straight through the dasher, Until things looked just like the One Horse Shay ' Flew cushion, robe and halter, The nag not once did falter, At last he stood before his oats and hay. My girl now loves another, Says I may be her brother, The rest, I think that secret I will keep 3 But I have now decided That though I be derided I'll never drive hereafter aught but sheep. 182 The Ballad of the Bungler CHORUS CHORUS CHoRuS CHORUS QDedicaz'ed fo ilze Bfmglers 0fZWfzeQ1-1zi1z.eJ Q Ah cruel Fate that brought me here In this accursed place !

Lord Crawshaw spoke to Put his squire, Come churl, forsake thy books and fire, To study such a night as this Were truly spending time amiss. Go get thy skating implements, We'll call at Ladies' Hall, and thence To Benton's rink we will repair Accompanied by damsels fair. He spoke. The trusty squire obeyed, They started forth each with his maid. Lord Crawshaw's dame we'll call Miss B. Aroostook Putnam took Miss C. A merry time they had indeed, ' The time flew by with swiftest speed, And when the others left the ice To take the train, they thought 'twere nice Back home upon the ice to skate ' And reach their homes ere very late. Then Crawshaw stretched his rubber neck And gazed- ls this the Kennebec, Art sure, Squire Put? I don't recall The Kennebec e'er looked so sma1l.'l That question, Lord, do not debate, Responded Put, we'd better skate, 184 I know I'm right, so let's proceed. So on the couples Hew with speed, They skated on mile after mile, VVith tender words they did beguile The chilly, weary hours away As only silly children may. The ice then cracked,-a girlish shriek- Gad Zooks, this ice has sprung a leak, Quoth Crawshaw, Let us stop right here, We're oiif the track, that's very clear. Thou scurrile knave, I'll brast thy pate, Said he to Put, 'Tis very late, We're far from home, deep is the snow, What shall we do, I'd like to know ? We'll have to hoof it, Put replied, Or else we may procure a ride From some good farmer hereaboutf' And so the party started out. They climbed the bank and took the road Until they came to an abode Which after walking far they found. Lord Crawshaw bade his varlet pound Upon the door,-then from above A window opened with a shove. Forthwith a tously head appeared, It was the parson, and he leered With wrath on Put and Craw-he said, All honest folk should be in bed. Ah, girls there, eh, well I should hope You hain't agoin' to elope? Well, I won't help ye -fthe ladies blushed While Putnam swore in accents hushedl Nay, nay, good man said Crawshaw, You see that we have lost our way. Now take us back to Waterville And we will cough a good fat bill. But this is Clinton, he replied, From here it is a lengthy ride. But he agreed. Soon on the way All five were drawn in single sleigh. The old plug groaned with all his load, The sleigh slid slowly o'er the road, And while the clocks were striking two Memorial tower came in view. And on the faithful beast did crawl Till all got out at Ladies' Hall. Forth to the door the girls then hurried, Their maiden hearts were sadly flurried. Said B. I hope welll not be seen? Said C. VVell, what about the Dean l 'What happened then inside the door We know not, still we think no more Will Crawshaw with his damsel cut Much ice, nor will Aroostook Put. 185 H stay, Here and There.

As a caller approaches the Dunn House, he hears wild shrieks and mad laughter,- one who was not used to it would turn and run, but if one has been there before or has sufficient courage, he rings the bell which can scarcely be heard above the din of slamming doors, jumping feet and shrieks of laughter. As the door opens a great flood of noise goes roaring out upon the street and if the caller has presence of mind enough to state his business, he is admitted to the reception room. The noise is stifled a bit as he crosses the hall and as he enters a hoarse feminine whisper asks, Who is it ? Another replies in a similar voice, H I don't know. Then the caller is pleasantly surprised by noticing a face or two peeking at him through the portieres. When his errand is done and he walks to the door a voice from above can be dis- tinctly heard, Is he gone? Then as the door closes the bedlam of yelling, laugh- ing, stamping and slamming goes on again, and the visitor carries away a pleasant impression of the domestic demeanor of the co-ord.

Dudley awoke one morning to the cheerful clang of the eight o'clock. He knew he couldn't make it, but bounced out of bed thinking he heard one of the fellows calling him. He went to the door and stepped out, a strong gust slammed the door behind him and he found he was locked out in rather meagre attire. He fumed around the corridors in vain, most of the fellows had gone and no one would lend him clothes. The minutes sped and the situation became embarrassing. It was cold -bitter cold-in the corridors, so he finally conquered his timidity and got on to the Ere escape, two Hoors below, and made the ascent to his windows. The February breeze was icy and the ascent was slow, but he finally crawled through the window. Charley Seaverns happened along just then and says he thought it was an angel com- ing for Bill Abbot, while VVog who was near at the time said it looked like a narrow escape. r Physical Laboratory-Lecture on Sound.

Here, said the warden, who was showing a visitor over the asylum, here in this cell is a sad case. This young man they say was once happy and full of hope, look at him now ! As the visitor looked in, he saw the melancholy wretch writing furiously, while reams of manuscript lay around the floor. He turned and raised a despairing face toward the visitor, and cried, Got any literary stuff, poems or stories ? Thatis what he always says, whispered the warden, then aloud, No, not to-day. No grinds ? continued the poor creature in the most heart-rending tones. No, was the reply. At this he gave a fearful cry of despair and paced rapidly up and down, mutter- ing over and over, I've got to do it all, and I can't! What brought him to this ? asked the visitor. They sayf' replied the warden, The ORACLE did it. 188 Signs of Spring. Q Oh, itis pleasantjust to notice, after weary months of snow, That the bleak and lingering winter now at last has got to go 3 When the snow has left the campus and the sun is warm and brigh And you leave your windows open when you're studying at night. You see the fellows afternoons a-basking in the sun Upon the college steps, when all their weary work is done. You hear them plunk their banjos for the latest rag-time tune, She was Bred in Old Kentuckyf! and some ballad of the Coon. Upon the bill-board you can find spring styles of book-store dun That shows that Richie hasn't lost his yearning for the mon. And many other noticesjust now the reader finds, - B Come out to-day to train, and too, The ORACLE wants Grindsf' It's then that winter clothes look warm and somewhat shabby, too, But only Echo men appear in outfits fresh and new. Then Herrick thinks it's nearly time to shed his monstrous boots, And Freshmen substitutes strut round to show their baseball suits, And Grampy Severy's silly smile assumes a spring-like hue, And Abbot chucks his winter gum, for a new hunk to chew. Then all the heavy sporting men of red-hot Dascombe type Appear in glaring linen ofa blue and crimson stripe, But though these signs all tell us ofa summer season near, The prospect for the Senior is only chill and drear. No outdoor sport for him it brings, he has to contemplate Some four conditions to work off ere he can graduate ! R A sudden commotion, Convulsive explosion, A noise like the tumult of seas.

Q Owing to the increased facilities afforded by the new chemical laboratory, the course in Chemistry for next fall will be improved and enlarged by the addition of one new lecture. This lecture has been carefully prepared by Dr. Elder and is pub- lished here as a tribute to his industry and interest in his department. It treats of a substance whose existence has been known for some time, but has been only recently obtained in the free state so as to permit of exhaustive research. The most successful experimenters have been Nathaniel Butler, D, D., Anton Mar- quardt, Ph. D., A. I. Roberts and Samuel Osborne, Gb. D. Lecture XX. - Brass. Molecular Symbol, I. M. Atomic weight-too dense to measure. - Disiribztfiofz. 'lt occurs free in immense quantities in r9o2. The best-known deposits have been discovered in certain localities in North College. Recent investi- gations have revealed inexhaustible supplies in the vicinity of Church, Pierson and Crawshaw. Balceman, Cotton and Richardson, ,Q9, still retain traces of the substance in its unalloyed state. In combination with other elements it is very common, but is generally difficult to separatefrom the compound. It is found chemically united with Pgl., EgO, Agz., and occasionally with CO2Rd. Prepzzraiian. A variety of processes are used in the preparation of this sub- stance. The most efficient and useful fn the generating bottle manufactured by Abbott, VVitherell 8z Co. ' EXP. Place in the generating bottle a mixture of turpentine, vinegar and machine oil. Take any well-known compound of I. M., as Goodwin or Kane, and heat gently by the application of elbow grease until perfectly pliable. Connect with the mixture in the flask and carefully note results. The first change is a slight greenish tinge, which gradually changes to white faround the gillsl. The mixture disappears rapidly at first, then more slowly, and finally no more is absorbed. On examination all traces of Brass will be found to have been removed. NOTE. This process is particularly convenient from the fact that the same com- pound can be used several times. If the substance is allowed to stand for some time, it soon regains its original lustre, apparently absorbing the Brass from its surround- ings. Another method, sometimes employed, and often very dangerous, is outlined in the experiment following : EXP. Place about 175 pounds of lfVood in a coupe and set in motion by a one- horse power. A violent commotion is discernible, and a gas issues forth which turns the atmosphere a bluish tinge. Care should be taken to protect the apparatus, as IQO pieces of glass are likely to fiy. Continue the experiment until these disturbances cease, when nearly all the Brass will have been found to have been separated from the compound. No'r. The student should notice that these experiments refer only to the obtaining of Brass in its first allotropic modification hereafter mentioned. The other forms cannot be separated by any known means from their compounds. Pfojzerfies. Brass is a dense solid ofa Gray-ish tinge, metallic lustre, poor taste, Soluble in water and some compounds of alcohol. Under certain conditions it occurs as a gas of an offensive odor. This gas has an unlimited power of expansion, and when breathed in large quantities produces a sensation of weariness. In the depart- ment of anthropology are several reservoirs of Brass in its gaseous condition obtained from northern Aroostook. Alloirapic ZV!0dQfca!z'01zs. The most notable feature of Brass is the great variety of forms in which it occurs in nature. The following are the best known : 1. Verdancy. The most common form of I. M. It has been discovered this year for the first time in the free state, owing to the kindly consideration of IQOI. Other classes have thoughtlessly crushed it out before it reached its maturity, but this yearit has reached full development, It has a specinc gravity of I9O.2, is not combustiblei but is highly explosive under certain conditions and a ready absorbent. H20 is decomposed with violent gaseous explosion when poured over a large lump of this substance. When subjected to heat its action is most peculiar. When its temperature is raised by the application of common elbow grease, by the Ah-Sky- ward method, remarkable properties are revealed. At 1010 Shoulderheit the por- tions directly affected assume a reddish hue, which may be increased by the proper use of the Phi Chi paint brush, while upon other portions of the surface large drops of a colorless liquid are seen to issue forth through the terra firma, and around the eyes these drops crystallize in the form of tears. 1 2. Gall. All Gall is divided into three parts5 . 1, Bakemang 2, Learnedg 3, Joseph. This modification of I. M., is amorphous and has an acid reaction when brought in contact with a peculiar compound of carbon, known as SaM. It is con- densed with great difficulty. 3. Conceit. This is the hardest known substance, no material having been found yet which can make any impression upon it. It is a powerful reagent, show- ing in some cases a strong affinity for COZRd. It acts readily upon ice. The best known specimens are Witherell, Wiren and Towne. Office in Nature. The most famous scientists state that no substance occurs in nature without some use or function, but the most exhaustive research and patient experimenting have failed to reveal the office of Brass. 1,P1'lggiSl1116SS5 2, Arroganceg 3, This Company is guaranteed reliableg 4, For obvious reasonsg 5.

Q Vlfaterville is now the foremost city in the Pine Tree State. There are many legends as to the founding of the city, chief of which is the following: A party of bank robbers attempted to escape to Canada, but were rash enough to travel on the Maine Central. By the time they reached the present site of Wlaterville their boodle had been entirely used up for car fare, and they were turned off into the wilderness and founded the beginnings of the now flourishing metropolis. The climate of Vilaterville is vigorous but healthful, particularly for weak small- pox germs, and the soothing social atmosphere is an unfailing remedy for insomnia. Vlfaterville received its name from the fact that its thoroughfares are streets only for half the year g during the other half they are canals, the chief of these being Col- lege Avenile,-Waterville being well termed, the Venice of Maine. All the water in the neighborhood is, however, confined to the river or canals. For drinking purposes a large percentage of the citizens drink split, a local beverage furnished by the drug stores, and the other half drink a vegetable soup furnished by the city and which strangers are always given when they ask for water. ' VVaterville is famous all over the world as the site of Colby College. Among the interesting objects on its venerable grounds are the '98 gravestone-or the mysterious what-is-it, the new chemical laboratory, Fatty Herrick's seven-league boots, the Echo hats, and Gurneyls toothpick. A parade of the co-ords will also give an interesting and instructive history of fashions brought up to the year 1885. 'Waterville is noted for some of its historical buildings. Chief of these is the present town hall or opera house. This was left by the mound builders and is still in excellent preservation. Ladies' Hall was originally a council house of the Indian chiefs, now left to the squaws. A realistic representation of the old pow-wows, war- whoops, and ghost dances is given at all hours of the day or night at the Dunn House, across the street. Another interesting building is Fort Halifax. This was captured by the Canucks in the French and Indian War and has remained in their possession ever since. The chief suburbs of Waterville are Fairfield and VVinslow. Fairfield was thus named because the place where the town is now situated was originally quite respect- able in appearance. lt is chiefly noted for the fact that it is at one end of a trolley track extending from Waterville. There is also an electric light plant that furnishes dark for the buildings and streets ,of VVaterville and a particularly fine quality of velvety blackness for the Senior Exhibitions of the college. Winslow is named from the words wind and slow, these being the two Words which characterize the white inhabitants. It is a growing and flourishing town. The population, counting the inhabitants of the cemetery, shows a very perceptible increase over the census records of fifty years ago. Its chief products are Canucks, sand, and small-pox. 5 , 193 9 The Animal Fair. Q I went to the Animal Fair, The birds and the beasts were there 5 By the light of the moon Spencer, the coon, 'Was combing his raven hair. The birds stood all in a ring And elected Martin for king 5 They tried to do right, Though they ruined the night By the Gospel Hymns they would sing. Perry, the snail, ran a race VVith a bug which some one called Chase g The bug at last beat, For he finished his heat Coming in on his terrible face.

Crawshavv, the buffalo, roared, Too much in his stomach he'd stored 3 He complained of a pain X!Vl'1lCl1 he may have again If he causes us still to be bored. The Cheshire cat grinned from a tree, Announcing the program to me g But the show scarce begun Before it was done, As the animals couldn't agree. 'Twas Sam that ushered me in, 'Twas Rabbit that ushered me out g I left fifteen cents To pay these two gents, But Sam claimed the whole, l've no doubt T94 Laughs. Q Now Cornet Kazoo has a laugh that is bad, VVe're sorry that we have to speak Disparagingly,-he's a very good lad,- But we hope that his laugh is unique. NVhenever he's tickled his merriment Hows In a sputtering, gurgling bubble, His eyes stick out, he wiggles his nose, You wonder what can be the trouble g Then all of a sudden his mouth gapes wide, There's a roar like the bursting of cannon, You're likely to find that your nerves are tried, But it's only Alphabet Shannon. Then there is the laugh of Methodist Mart, And when you encounter it first You fear that his soul is soon to depart, And sadly you wait for the worst. He begins with a cry like a man in a fit, Then gives a terrible whoop, Now shrill like a maniac, another time it Is hoarse like a kid with the croup. It takes steady nerves to be well prepared To stand this bellowing blart, But if you should hear it, keep cool, clon't be scared It's only the laughter of Mart. Then there is a laugh of a different kind, It's wholly spec-tac-u-lar, The equal of which you never would Hnd By searching near or far. ' NVhen Hanson gets down to the point of a joke He is a most horrible sight, His eyes are shut, he seems to choke, He squeezes his waistcoat tight, Not a sound escapes, his face is red, He falls and rolls on the floor, And then when you think he is just about dead He bobs up again as before. MORAL. Now here is the moral: If you three men Can't learn to reform your way Of showing your sense of humor, then You'1l sorry be some day. If you were in Hts, or by suffering crazed, Were poisoned, or something like that, A friend would just wonder, as calmly he gazed, VVhat could you be laughing at I The College Lover. Q Do you know the college lover? If you don't then I will try To show you what the creaturels like, just so that by and by You'll know them, if by any chance these specimens you meet, And it's better to avoid them by going across the street. They always come in pairs, they are never seen alone, And they call each other tender names with soft, caressing tone, They wear a silly, grinning look of happiness serene, Only turning slightly anxious in the presence of the Dean. . They spend the summer in a boat, the winter in a sleigh, But when it comes to athletic dues, they can't afford to pay. They love each other, so they think, with most profound emotion, And will always bill and coo with the same moon-struck devotion, But after graduation they suspect that theywere rash, And in a half a dozen months the engagementls gone to smash. But while in college the men, at least, aren't good for any work, But wander sentimentally, dressed like a dry goods clerk, They think that they look fit to kill,-we would that one were willing To promote the public welfare by attending to the killing!

Chrift Q 3 HAT is one of the prime accom- plishments of Life Insurance. It leads a man to save consid- erable money for his family. Perhaps this might be done anywayg more likely not. A policy makes necessary the annual accumulation of such a sum as will keep it in force. And the attraction about most forms of insur- ance, as now written by the UNION MUTUAL, is that they have valuable cash privileges for the policy-holder at certain times, if desired. All the latest improvements will be found in our policies. There is a style in Life Insurance, as everything else, Wand we have the newest forms, the brightest features. Premium rates reasonable: policy contracts reliable. Further details furnished freeg also bi-monthly illustrated paper. UNO!! mlllildl Kilt lllSlll'd!lCQ O., Portland, me.

As a general rule peas, lima beans and string beans prove unsatisfactory, owing to the fact that two-thirds of the housewives serve them in the brine that is in the can. They should be prepared as follows, and it will then be difficult to distinguish the difference between the canned and the freshly picked: Pour off the brine, throw it away, then place the vegetables in cold water, washing well, and let stand a few minutes to freshen. Cook but a a few minutes and season to taste. Many use milk instead of water with these vegetables. A small piece of pork added to string beans improves their flavor. Corn should be only thoroughly heated, as it has been sufliciently cooked in cans. Add but- ter, milk, salt and pepper asdesired. And this leads us to remark that our Banquet Brand of Sllgal' Peas are the finest goods packed. To try them is to use them always. if F. ll.
