The book is destined to fall into the hands of several classes of readers, no two of which peruse its pages with the same end in view. To the trustees it has one meaning, to the faculty another, the alumni enjoy certain portions, the undergraduates entirely different ones. 5 Gur aim has been to afford to each reader as much of peculiar interest to him as the limitations of such a publication allow. If this end is secured, we shall feel amply repaid for our efforts to maintain the high stand- ard of the Oracle. 9 0 V Editorial' Board. +0-X' EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, PRED F. LAWRENCE, ASSOCIATE EDITORS.

Far from it! The class of 1900 possesses such sterling qualities, and has attained such striking pre-eminence, as to make the day of her farewell to her Alma Mater forever conspicuous on history's page. Ill would it beseem us to vaunt our exploits here. The boastful days of our youth are long since past, and in the calm, dignified tranquillity of Senior reticence, we need no silver-tongued herald with brazen trumpet to shout our glorious achievements., Ours is a record which speaks louder than any words. It tells of struggles and triumphs, of joy and sorrow, ofthe verdancy of the freshman fand the folly of the sophomore, of the clash and fury of the fiercest rushes in the annals of college life, as well as the less spectacular, but none the less decisive conflicts in the classroom, where the cavalry, under the leader- ship of Hinds and Noble rendered efficient assistance to many a baffled warrior. But now those happy days are drawing to a close. The oft repeated question: f'VVill you hate to leave college PH reminds us only too forcibly of the unwelcome truth. Let us ever take pride in saying that the happiest days of our life were the four years spent in Colby, and among the most, delightful reminiscences of that period let us regard the associations which center about the figures we have learned to love so well, HI9OO.,' No history of the cream of the century class should ever be attempted without paying tribute to the nineteen hundred girls. Some of our most enjoyable occasions have been our associations with them. In only two instances has this connection assumed a romantic tinge, but it is none the less active, and will remain for all time one of the most pleasing of college ties. Nothing can be too good for our classmates of the gentler sex, and we wish them all manner of success in teaching, in business and in love. 18 Class of 1900. -z-0+ WOMEN.

They tell a strange story about it. You see it appeared iirst in the '35 Q, . . . . . fall of '96 at the very t1n1e when the 1llLlS'El'lOuS class of IQOO appeared 111 if 1 5' , lE . . . . . . i' ' the college halls. Though gloriously bright at ilrst, its brilhancy has 1n- ereased ever since u11til now it is the wonder of all astronomers. They predict that it will scatter i11 pieces Ellld form other bright stars which will shine with brilliancy here and there. And what is inore they say that this separation will take place in june. Strange, isn't it? for that is the very time when the class of IQOO will be graduated. Qlftfhat can one infer from this but that this brilliant star niust typify the brilliancy of the classg and truly it is a wonderful class. Twenty-three happy, laughing girls we were whe11 we entered, ready for fun, ready for work, going into everything To do or die. We niade ourselves illustrious even i11 that iirst year, for tl1e attention of the faculty was thrust upon us. That august body niet and Opellly expressed their approval of us. How envious the upper classes were. The next year, too, we attracted the attention of the mighty rulers, and again no fault was found i11 us. Indeed a reward was pro111ised to several, but because of the jealousy of others less renowned than we, I suppose, the reward was with- drawn. But the reward which virtue brings with her was all we needed. XVe have had our share of good tiines while in college and have given theni to others. lVe have tried to be good and to do good. Thirteen girls are all that remain now of the original number, but the u11lucky thirteen is now no inore, for two from an upper class attracted by our brilliancy foreswore allegiance to their own class and caine to ours. ' Soon we shall separate, but as little lights i11 a naughty world, we shall still shine. I could go O11 and tell you inore, but I see you are interested in watching that star. Cannot see it? XVelll isntt that strange. You will see it tho', when you know more about us, for those who know us niost, see it best, and of course it is as clear as the S1111 to us fifteen. Keep watch a11d it niust appear to you, too. ,AL ei -as . , fs K 20 Biographies of Senior Class +44- MEN. Carl Cotton, Fairfield. 26 C. H. A. T.

It has ever continued to shine upon her, which accounts for her warm heart and sunny disposition. WC-IUHY say that she was bam i1zt0t'C0lby.

But it became evident' that ketchup was food for the body and not for the mind. so she was hurried off to Colby. Colby and ketchup have proved an invaluable compound for Carrie. She is devoted not only to the sciences taught by Professor Bailey, but has also become proficient in the science of coffee- making and Day of Prayer soup. l1Ve regret to say that the sciences have hardened the once tender heart of our Carrie, for she would have joined the Biology Class. slaughtered the gentle puss, and pursued the study of Catatomy but for the persuasions of her friends. She has C0715UiC'7Zff0'Ll,.S'ljl striven throughout her college course to obey Prexy's commandment: Let there not .be too much effusiveness of sympathy between the two colleges. 33 Flashlights of Individual Members. Carl Cotton is a peculiar specimen from the peculiar hamlet of Fairfield. He can be easily recognized anywhere by his laugh, which he intends to have copy- righted. He solemnly affirms that he is 22 years of age, and although rather insignihcant in general appearance, stands 5 feet, 723 inches,-no round num- bers-and weighs 147 pounds. He is a thorough prohibitionist, and a great lover of English literature, devoting much time to the study of Spencer. Cush is a lazy, good-natured denizen of North College. He spends his time in baseball, pitch, and loafing. He is especially famous as the roommate of P. Andrews. He has a pretty side swing in his gait, making him appear shorter than the 5 feet, 8, which he really is. The snows of 23 winters have melted away since his eyes hrst opened in opposition to the light of day, and dur- ing that time his avoirdupois has slowly increased to 180 pounds. Alden Eliphalet Doughty is a curly-headed Apollo from Qxford county. He holds the keys of the gymnasium, and controls the temperature of the aqua Messa- lonskee which enters therein. He faithfully obeys the order never to let the tem- perature rise above 5oo Fahrenheit. ' Charles Emerson Fogg is the most obstinate, hard-headed animal that has been entered in lifeis race since the days of Balaam. You must use kid gloves, pull on the reins gently, be careful not to rub the wrong way, scratch his back patiently, and then see him do just what you don't want him to do. His 26 years of experience in life's school have made him something of a cynic, and his 5 feet, SM inches are not enough to afford him a generous bird's-eye view of his fellow- men. Henry D. Furbush is a lobster, an oyster, a clam, or some other specimen of the genus shell-fish. Although endowed by nature with a combination of superb physique and striking physiognomy, he passes his days in benedictine seclusion. As he is only 22 years of age, psychology still allows him some time to reform his ways before his brain substance becomes impervious to new impressions. His height is 5 feet, QM inches, and his weight, which is concentrated near the center of gravity, is 180 pounds. Percy Gilbert might easily be mistaken for a circus clown or a gluttonous friar of some holy order, were it not for the capillary appendage midway between his prominent nasal organ, and the opening below, through which he endeavors 34 to 1nake himself equally prominent. Although at first a general favorite, since his connection with the management of the Colbiensis Publishing Association, he has become suddenly extremely unpopular. His importance is out of all propor- tion to his height, which is only 5 feet, 8. His 185 pounds have more to do with his inertia than any inherent sluggishness. If he lives 76 years longer, he will be a centenarian. Alfred S. Goody is a living example of what college can do for a man. He rises at 4, milks the cows, feeds the hens, grooms the horses, builds the fires, saws a cord of wood, and does every other conceivable thing except comb his hair, then drives his patient mule through seven long weary miles of mud, snow or dust as the case may be, spends the hours from 8 until 3 in close application to mental labor, then returns to repeat his tasks of the morning. He is somewhere about three feet in height, weighs perhaps 78, and if he lives long enough will be a man some day. 1 Simon Hedman is one of the most curious fish that ever swallowed a hook. He hails from Aroostook, but possesses several good qualities in spite of this fact. He aspires to be a society swell, and has learned to shake a hoof as well as the best of 'em. He is high muck-a-muck of the South College Brass Band, and assistant bell-ringer. He has passed the quarter pole in his century run, is 5 feet, 8 in height and pushes the dial on the slot machine up to 140. Fat Herrick, Colby's Fashion Plate, is a boodle alderman from the thir- teenth ward of Charleston, a thriving suburb of Levant, a town made famous by other freaks, with other queer notions. 'fl-Tat is a married man. He is insep- arably wedded-to his wife, his cigarettes and his silken moustache. It is hard to tell which of the three he would give up last. His weight-before dinner-is 210, and his longitudinal dimension 5 feet, 8. Jimmie Hud is another dainty morsel of Hesh and blood, rather more athletic than Herrick, but of the same natural indolence. Jim looks like a veteran, but in reality has just become responsible for his actions and will cast his first vote f-or Dewey next fall. Don't let that forbidding look frighte-n you, for it is entirely an external phenomenon. His height,-which is in reality his width,-is 5 feet, 6, his weight has been daily decreasing since his troubles of the Cflee Club trip began, and it is hoped that it can soon be computed by ordinary scales. Willie Jack, through a strange mistake, either on the part of Teddy or of Dame Nature, is enrolled in the catalogue under the Men's Division. He is a gentle creature, writes pretty verses, and is considered quite harmless. He has been growing, mentally, for 22 years, and is quite a chap in his weigh, which is only 140, He is 5 feet, 72 inches in height, with his hair combed. Eddie jenkins is another one of those sensitive souls who are easily offended by the thoughtlessness of an unfeeling world, hence we shrink from any attempt 35 to characterize him. He is said to be afraid of his shadow, and when walking, moves his head from one side to the other to avoid the sight of it. He ceased to be an infant in the eyes of the law more than a year ago, is rather ashamed of his 5 feet, 8, and scares the scales so that they register 140. Kid Lawrence is editor-in-chief of the Oracle. 'Nuff said. Any characteriza- tion of him here would be superfluous, as those who are not mentioned will tell you his sins of omission, and those who think they are soaked will tell you those of commission. Gussie Learned-K'WVell, theren-you've struck the real thing now. Those broad shoulders, that proud strut, that brazen countenance are merely outward indications of a personality, of which, thank kind fortune, Grrin has the sole copyright. Don't stroke his fur the wrong way, or he may fly at you, for he is a little touchy, but his bark is much worse than his bite. Wlieii his head is on a level he stands 5 feet, 9 inches. He can hold down 160 pounds on the other arm of a balance, and will give his age at the coming census as 23. John Franklin Moody, jr., is my nephew. Mr. Moody, we'll have you understand, is an athlete of the first order. His special forte is boxing, though he gets along better with men of his own height than those of less aspiring propor- tions. He is 22 years of age, is 5 feet, II, and acts at least a foot higher, and weighs 150. One of his favorite' pastimes is assisting Dr. Black in his history lectures. . Bennie Philbrick is one of the important attachments to the Colby curriculum, which we could not do without. He is at present engaged in lugging water for the baseball team. It is rather hard work as he has to be careful to hold his head just right, so as not to lose his glass. He has only recently attained his majority although appearances would seem to indicate otherwise. lncidentally we might say that his altitude is 5 feet, SM, and his weight I25. Silas Sanborn has carried the dignity of his office as president' of the Y. M. C. A. with much ease and grace-. He is best known as the inventor of a device for ringing the college bell without getting out of bed. His position of street car conductor served to increase his sense of importance, and his height to 5 feet, IOM. Silas is only 23, but can show as much muscle in his 162 pounds of tissue as the next man. Joe Sawyer, by gee, is manager of this book, and you can tell by his deter- mined stride and the gleam in his eye that things will be run well or he'll know the reason why. He has recently patent-ed a scheme for warming beds by means of electric appliances. His linear dimension is 6 feet, 1, and his weight 165. Gramp Severy is a reporter, and a hustler. If you see him coming you had better remember that you have business across the street, unless you want a three column interview published over your name the next day. Gramp is an enthu- siastic follower of Uncle Solon, and 'a skilful driver of oxen. He says he is 73, 36 but carries his years wonderfully well, standing 6 feet in his cowhides, and weigh- ing I65. Ernest Tupper can be recognized by his gait, which resembles the proverbial pair of bars. This does not interfere in the least with his baseball ability. Tup is one of those peculiar players who never hit the ball except at critical times. Three men on bases with two out and Tupper at the bat means two runs. But though somewhat erratic at the stick, he never fails to gather in all contributions to the center field. He is 22 years of age, stands 5 feet, 9, and weighs 145. Apple Green VV'arner is the chief cook and bottle washer to her majesty Luna H. Vtfarner is a thorough believer in putting scripture to practical use, and you may see his light shining like a good deed in a naughty world every evening. VVarner is a mighty good fellow, but if you have only a few minutes to spare, d0n't enter into conversation with him. He has reached the maturity of twenty-seven years, but still retains his boyish stature of 5 feet, 6, and his weight of 140. Wasll 'Wiren is built' upon the Scandinavian plan of architecture, a fact which you might not recognige at first sight. He is another of those mentioned in the 'steenth book of the Koran, where we are told by their gait ye shall know them. Vlfash was offered 552,000 to travel with Forepaugh and Sells-whether in the side-show or menagerie is not evident-but nobly scorned the tempting bait. His 24 years have given him much of worldly wisdom, and his 5 feet, IOM, place him slightly above the average of his classmates. His tonnage is I 5 5. fx -Jiffxff F fig ET ' Q: 45 AQXWYWKLY6 i f 37 Class of 19014 -24+ MEN. Class Yell:-Hio, Kio, Yah, Y-ah, Yah, Colby, Colby, 'Rabi 'Rabi ,Rabi elkw, cfwefkw, 81fVo.p.aL vvv, .

In spite of the wars going on in the world, our own fighting record still holds a prominent place in his- tory.

As Sophomores we administered the rod in- a h' t f the college justice fatherly and benevolent manner and for the first time in the is ory o 6 was done to the wretchedly ignorant. XVe have always fought hard to bring abOll'C Pei'-Ce' h t uvht the newly made This present year opened with a brilliant campaign in whic we a g sophs that we still have the welfare of the unfortunate at heart. d b the fact that the colleffe The Class has a most enviable position in athletics, prove y as looked to us for captains in baseball, football and basketball in this our junior year and that we have always had a larger number than our share on the different squads. Ill the realm of music a member of the class is leader of the mandolin club and manager of the combined organizations, and other juniors are members of the clubs. The revival of dramatics in the college is entirely due to us, and in the cast of eleven parts, four of the leading characters were assumed by members of 1901. The college weekly is at present edited by one of our number and another is the able President of the Athletic Association. Socially the class is a great benefit to the college. The series of assemblies given the last winter was principally due to the work of juniors and the junior Promenade was un- questionably the most successful function ever presented by a junior class at Colby. Per- haps it may be well to quote the opinion of Doctor Elder in regard to ourselves: You're not bad enough to be scolded. Since it seems the co-ords are a nxture here, we repeat the remarks of a former his- torian: The 1901 Co-ord is all rightjl and we remember with pleasure the good times the ladies have given us and we drink their health joyfully. XVe are the second largest class in college, we do our work, hard as it is, with- out grumbling and our motto is still Live and Let Liveff We have our Y. M, C.

He's the guardian spirit of Colby, you know, and if you search diligently you will surely find him and perhaps x 5?1?4-'--1 he may tell you some tales of Colby in her younger days. The other day-that warm day, you remember-I took a long walk and after a time reached the pine forest and Sandy's home. The cottage door was ajar. I hgard his voice, evidently talking to someone within. I listened. lTwas queer about those junior girls wasn't it! They entered with nineteen good looking girls. Yes, sir! and there's only seven of 'em left. But as I was a telling the President the other day, 'quality not quantity? They studied hard when they were fresh- men, but they had pretty good times after all. What a fuss they did have over that reception they gave the boys-fchucklingj-and those men-fhere the voice waxed indig- nantj-didn't know enough to give them one in return the next year. U--ni! couldn't those girls play basketball. Beat both years, you know, without half trying. Oh, 1901 is fierce in basketball, but she was good to the Freshmen. They didn't haze, you know. There was some trouble the year before, when they were freshmen, with the Sophomores, and those girls registered a solemn vow to treat the freshmen as well as they could. Did they do it? d'ye say? lfVell, I guess. Ask I902 what she thinks of IQOI. Somehow they never seemed to mind Chemistry and Mathematics and those things that the young gentlemen are always groaning over. I guess they're pretty faithful students, though I never heard any one say that they were brilliant. f'Well, sir, that's a pretty hard question to answer. There are nice girls and boys in every class and it is not pleasant to choose. You know they always called 1901 ob- ob- yes, thank you-obstreperous. Some of the Sophomores objected because they didn't hang their heads when they were freshmen, as they walked in Chapel. But their independence does my soul good. I think on the whole I'll choose the girls of I9OI.U I passed quietly on leaving behind me the fragrant forest of pine trees. .

It is a well known fact that at various times during the last year, attempts of a serious nature were made, to tarnish the spotless reputation of 1902, both as a class and individually, but 'the thin veneer of vile slander could not cover up the truth or facts of the case. The most ludicrous and fruitless of these attempts was a spontaneous emanation of conglomerate English, which appeared in the last issue of the Oracle. This spasm took on the form of poetic doggerel, written in close imitation of the style found in Mother Goose's nursery rhymes. , Now in the resplendent realm of sophomoric dignity whose bright record stands forth as a shining example to future generations, we rejoice .to echo the sentiments of all who know us, TFPHWOL 'fT0fV'1'wV.

Ali, well, that is a thing of the long ago, we are 1. , 4 , Wi Sophomores now, and every one understands the vast difference between a Sophomore and a Freshman. 1 It has been said that the second year in college is the severe test on one's manners and morals. VVhere has a class ever been found of such exemplary behavior as 1902 when Sophomores? The way across the Chapel is shorter now by one row, but after Chapel, as the recitation bell is ringing, there is a long walk past the brick buildings, across the Campus to a remote hall of Science. Sometimes this is a pleasant walk, sometimes it is a walk with the queer foreboding feeling of an approaching quizg and sometimes it is an eventful and exciting Walk, as on a certain morning of the past, 'there is no need to mention dates, that morning has lefta lasting impress upon every Sophomore. The rain descended in sheets and the wind blew a gale. Hats went whirling across the Campus at an accelerated velocity per second the computation of which would have been 'tpurely theoretical, and which, that is, the hats, came to rest at length in the depths of some snow-encircled rain pool in a f'very abstruse condition. On the following day, wrecks of umbrellas, arranged in the Hinverted order, were found dotting the green, which were placed, so they say, not in a glass case in Paris, but in certain college rooms, as strictly arbitrary mementos of the day. It is a well proved truth that the path of Science is indeed steep but the Sophomore class have discovered that it can be deep, also. The pleasures and good times of the Sophomores are many, for although noted for their profound learning and studious habits, they know how to have a good time as well. And now the time is approaching when we will have a still shorter way across the Chapel, even to the seats on the other side of the post, but it is not well to look ahead to such dignity for the Sophomore year, considering everything, is a very pleasant one. fs, ti?

That first morning in Chapel, Sam gave us seats where we might see and be seen by all. Prex smiled kindly when we tripped in, but we lost courage -'-- 'M' when we saw so many of his stern-faced friends behind him. 'lfVe regained heart, however, when we were told that this was something which would probably never happen again. Our coming to this great seat of wisdom was so agreeable to everyone, that our older Cousins welcomed ns with a reception. There we met our own dear brothers who were quite as green as ourselves. We soon became so bold that we wandered about the campus and among the buildings as we pleased. Indeed nature seemed to have constructed everything for us, and for us alone, this we have learned is not wholly true. Desiring to become better acquainted with our twin, we gave the traditional Freshman Reception. To this they come torn and bleeding, having been attacked by the Sophomores whose will, we have learned, is almost law. Some came without collar, or tie, or with only one coatsleeve, but we welcomed all none the less joyously. At Hal1owe'en we had a peanut drunk, the best time of the whole year. No one, not even the Dean, knew where we wereg and when we came home we strewed the walks with peanuts. This made the Sophomores very angry and they threw water at us, but we didn't mind that. One evening one of our brothers in tattered clothing and with tangled hair, called on usg he was so frightened he didn't know what to do, but a dear girl embraced him with such a sister-like kiss that he soon forgot his queer surroundings. Another time a twin came to give us a ride in a wheelbarrowg although we were accustomed to this mode of travel at home, we ielt it quite below our dignity as co-ords- nevertheless we forgave him. Since that first day we have outgrown much of our greenness, and have become a very jolly, genial set of--. Vile wish people didn't call us co-ords, we don,t like it. Our attractions have proven too much for many of our older cousins, who have indulgently added to our amusement by taking us driving and skating. Everyone treats us very kindlyg andlwe must say that we have enjoyed the assemblies and the many receptions given in our honor, and for our pleasure.

From the remotest ages of antiquity, the natural tendency of every nation, state and tribe, has been to progress, and from that very fact, it has been an essen- tially easy and agreeable task to write the history of such a people. ' But since the Freshman class in Colby, has failed to show the slightest sign of any sort of development or advancement, the work of attempting to write its history is an exceedingly thankless and undesirable task. When the pitiable and unsightly array of greenies which make up the Freshman aggregation, landed on the campus, everybody saw that they were miserably handicapped by Nature, but nobody supposed that this ugly and misshapen mass would retain all its chaotic characteristics for the entire year, nor that the historian would be compelled to draw upon his imagination, until, like Darwin, he might evolve from the mass of unorganized matter, something he could call a man. In fact, they have, as yet, learned but one lesson well, and that is, that the will of the Sophomore is law. Not a single praiseworthy deed have they done, either collectively or individually. To be sure, two or three of the aggregation have attained a sort of puerile proficiency, in lines peculiar to themselves, but these are hardly worth chronicling in an article intended for the perusal of an intelligent public. 'William Hawes has made for lzzrfzxuf a name as an unequalled all-around athlete,-with his mouth. Baby Stearns has secured quite a reputation among the co-ords, and Sir Isaac W'arts is conceded by all to be class poet-laureate, by reason of his weekly effusions in the Tenants' Harbor Squash Vine, the newspaper of his native town. Clark and Steward, the corpulent boys, are gradually learning to manipulate their numerous avoirdupois upon the street in such a way as not to offend those whom they chance to meet, and D. Avenport Cox is gaining notoriety as a philosophical diplomat, to a degree not dreamed of even by those who have heard his native eloquence ring through the halls and hills of Hebron. It seems to have been by a special dispensation of Providence, that the aggregation to whom this page is devoted, was bunched together and sent to college, at a time when the Sophomoric rites and ceremonies were presided over by such an efficient and able body of men as are found in the Class of 1902. If anything is ever made of the Freshmen, it will be due to the untiring and indefatigable efforts of the Sophomore class in holding in check the wildmen entrusted to its care, and thus maintaining college law and order. It is devoutly to be hoped that Aroostook, Piscataquis and Oxford, as well as the other less-civilized outlaying districts, have sent all the scum and chaff of their collegiate possi- bilities to Colby in the Class of IQO3, and that next September, our beloved institution may be favored by a class of Freshmen, with that stamp of excellence and superiority which always characterizes the even-year classes. , v 47 I AMW' W W if Ag? if PH I, T I-I ETA, XI, SIGMA, GAM MA, PSI, LlPS1LON, CH I, BETA, ETA, KAPPA, LAM BDA, PI, TOTA, ALPHA ALPHA, OMICRON, EPSILON, RHO, TAU, MU, NU, BETA PI-II, PHI CHI, PSI PHI, GAMMA PHI, PSI OMEGA, BETA CHI, DELTA CHI, DELTA DELTA, PHI GAMMA, GAMMA BETA, THETA ZETA, ALPHA CHI, PHI EPSILON, SIGMA TAU, TAU LAMBDA, ALPHA PHI, DELTA KAIJPA, Delta Kappa Epsilon.

'l'Q'l' The man that hath no music in himself,- Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,- Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoilsg The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. ' It is a source of intense 'gratification to all friends of Colby to observe the fact that while her enrollment of students is comparatively small, she never fails to maintain her high position in every branch of college life. Wl1e1'e there are so many departments of work, and so few students to fill them, it is extremely difficult to attain particular excellence in any of them. In no sphere of activity is this more evident than in that of music, and yet there is no one thing which has reflected greater credit upon the college the past year than the tour of the musical organizations. The success of the enterprise was due primarily to the hard, earnest labor of the manager and the leader. The competition for positions on the clubs was but slight, and the most strenuous efforts were necessary to get the men to co-operate and work faithfully. The result was gratifying in the extreme. The organiza- tions Which represented Colby the past winter were easily far superior to any of former years. The Glee Club was remarkably well balanced and in many ways a superior college organization. Wiwtli practically no Hcoachingl' at all, the result of the long weeks of tedious rehearsals was admirable. Mr. Hudson is to be congratulated upon their artistic work. The task of training so many voices to render a selec- tion in a way to meet the approval of a critical audience is no slight one, and the leader who successfully accomplishes this deserves the hi-ghest credit. Perhaps no music appeals more to the average audience than the sweet harmony of mandolins and guitars. The club this year, under the energetic leadership of Mr. Sprague, showed itself capable of holding its audience in a high degree. The work necessary to perfect such an organization is considerable, as slight imperfections are more noticeable than in other instrumental music. The orchestra received the most gratifying compliments from every source. Although some of -the best artists left with the class of '99, an abundance of 116 excellent material was developed. It is not often that an organization requiring such individual skill as a Hrst-class orchestra can be developed from a crowd of college men. The ten pieces composing the Colby orchestra worked together in a way little short of surprising, considering the short time available for rehearsals and prac- tice and the great variety of selections required of them. As in the case of the Glee Club, the main secret of their efficiency was the perseverance of the leader. The programme followed in nearly all the concerts was admirably selected and arranged. VVhile the aim was to make -the clubs, and not the specialties, the central feature of the entertainment, the readers and soloists were brought forward in a manner to give a pleasing variation. Naturally the first two or three concerts lacked that tone which experience alone can give, but as the boys acquired con- hdence and became accustomed to appearing before an audience, this characteristic disappeared, and the programme was rendered with a vigor and life worthy of professional artists. The management of such an enterprise is an undertaking of a nature realized only by those who have held similar positions. The responsibility of securing dates and guarantees in such a way as to ensure financial success is an important one, and was ab'ly discharged by Manager Sprague. One of the most pleasing features of the trips was the complete harmony which existed between the man- ager and leader, an element not always present in college organizations. The students of Colby have every reason to be proud of their representatives in the department of music. The musical organizations of ISQQ-IQOO have set a standard which we sincerely hope will be maintained in future years and become a permanent source of pride to the sons and daughters of Old Colby. .

Hitherto all efforts in this direction have been confined to minstrelsy. This year a dramatic club was formed and something 'Eng' of a more diff1cult nature attempted. The result, both from an artis- tic and a pecuniary standpoint, was highly gratifying. It was shown beyond a question that a play can be staged by the men of the college in a manner to please and satisfy a critical audience, and be a source of education to the participants and of revenue to the athletic association. It being the first attempt at this sort of work, the play selected was not a very deep one, either in point of plot or character study, but offered a good opportunity for the display of the dramatic ability of the college. The parts were admirably assigned, and under the skilful direction of Mr. F. L. Edgecomb were acted in a most satisfactory manner. The crowded house was an evidence of the interest of the town people in college activities, and the interest and applause of the' audi- ence showed their thorough appreciation of the performance. 3gf' Eg p1 l 1 - I-HS year marks the first appearance of Colby students in amateur theat- ., x 1 5 fi ' Q - fL .,3' - 6 - Sggvtu 17,2 College Donces. +0-X' THE ASSEVIBLIES. Among the most pleasing social events of the year was the series of college assemblies held at intervals during the winter and early spring. By this means an opportunity was afforded to the lovers of dancing to enjoy their favorite amusement in an entirely unobjectionable manner, which would otherwise have been impossible. The only strictly college dances of the year being the Junior Promenade and the Commencement Hop, the assemblies were a welcome addition to the round of social activity. The management deserve the highest praise for the entire success of their undertaking. The last of the series, especially, was a most delightful occasion. Great credit is due to Prof. R. B. Hall for the excellent music furnished on that occasion. The best is none too good for college dancers, and they know how to appreciate it. The experiment has been a most successful one. Let us hope that in years to come the assemblies will continue to occupy a prominent place upon the social calendar.

Mathews was chosen to succeed her. Miss Mathews is a mb J A daughter of J. B. Mathews and a granddaughter of Rev. NN. H. Shailer, a former trustee of Colby. Her preparation for college was made in the High School of Brookline, Mass., and she was graduated from Smith College in June of JQ7. The following year she studied at the University of Chicago, making a specialty of History. The next year was spent at the Brookline Training School for College Graduates. In September of ,QQ, the women of Colby gladly welcomed Miss Mathews as Dean of the college. She has proven herself admirably htted for the position. Besides fulhlling her duties as Dean, Miss Mathews has acted as instructor in Rhetoric and Latin. Her classroom work is of the highest order and marked by a strong tendency to bring out the individuality of the students. Miss Mathews is modest, retiring and of a charming presence. She is in close touch with the women of the college and her influence is strongly felt. Many a girl finds in her a realization of her ideal. Although herself not a graduate of the college she manifests a deep interest in all the college affairs and has materially advanced the interests of the WOmC11,S Division. ' A wonderful tact in governing has made her remarkably successful in the office of De-an and intimate acquaintance has endeared her, especially to the women who reside in the College Houses. There is no woman in Colby whom she does not influence for the better and all look upon her with sincere admiration. 139 J WILL AM JOHNSQN DIQISKQ. ILLIAM JOHNSON DRISKO, our new professor of Physics and A mi Institute of Technology, where he graduated in 1895 with the degree 'qi Astronomy, comes to us highly recommended from Massachusetts ,fl 'ti' jf : , 55,591 g . of Bachelor of Science. Professor Drisko is a pushing, enthusiastic young man, thoroughly in touch with the world of to-day, and an ardent advocate of all new and improved methods of teaching. He is a pleasant, genial teacher and impresses his pupils as one who has something to say 'and who knows how to say it. There is no- doubt that Professor Drisko will be lone of the leaders in changing the present course of studies in the smaller colleges as is being done already in our larger universities. Professor Drisko was born September 8, 1866, in Addison, Maine, where he remained until 1885. At the end of this time, he had completed all the work that a country high school could give. In 1885 he left Addison and obtained a situa- tion in Boston. He continued his Work until he entered the institute, obtaining his fit by attending a night schoo-lg but in the branch of mathematics he was obliged to fit himself. This fact gives abundant proof of his determination and ability. 140 Leaving an excellent situation, in 1890, Professor Drisko entered Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology and graduated in 1895. Wliile at the institute, he made Physics his chief course of study and Chemistry a minor course. Upon graduation he immediately received an appointment as instructor at the institute which speaks well for his ability and thoroughness. After four years of faithful labor there, he accepted the appointment here at Colby. ' Besides his ability as a scholar and a teacher, Professor Drisko brings with him a love for his Work and an appreciation for faithful labor, coupled with a tem- perament ancl character which win the good will and respect of both his pupils and fellow-teachers. No one can know Prof. Drislco and fail to appreciate the fact that a career of progress lies before the new professor of Physics at Colby: and we have reason to congratulate the college and each other that such a man has come among us. mira. C I4I DIQ. FVIEIQTQN WILWIQT BESSEY. IIWSTVLICTOI' ill ISIOIOQV. I p OR the last four years, the course in Zoology at Colby has been gradually shaping itself into a permanent laboratory course. Up to this time this course in our curriculum has been limited to more J l 'l ' f 'f' of a text-book study, on account of the lack of sufficient room. Since our new Chemical Laboratory has been built and our chemical rooms changed from Coburn Hall to this building, ample room has been left in Coburn Hall for the course in Zoology. By the earnest efforts of Dr. Bayley, two of the rooms on the ground floor have been fitted up and espec- ially adapted to the study of invertebrate and vertebrate Zoology 5 thereby offering to the students, desirous of fitting themselves for the Medi-cal School, a course in Zoology n-ot inferior to that offered by larger institutions. This course has been limited to those intending to study medicine and to those intending to teach this special course and by this means the number of students in the class isikept rather small, an advantage not to be spoken of lightly, since it enables the instructor to have a personal supervision over each individual's work, and then, too, the work in the laboratory is all done by the student himself so that he acquires a certain amount of technical skill in dissection and mounting slides of tissue which is of great advantage to him in his future work. 1 142 The success of the course is due, in a great measure, to the efforts of its instructor, Dr. Merton Wiliaiot Bessey, a man who, by his personality and thorough understanding of this branch of study, has inspired in the boys an enthusiasm for their work seldom found among college men. ' Dr. Bessey was born Qctober 30th, 1869, in Buckfield, Maine. After attend- ing the schools of his native place he entered the State Normal School at Farm- ington, Me.., and graduated in the class of '89 He fitted himself for college at Coburn Classical Institute and entered Colby College as a special student in science in the class of ,92. From Colby, Dr. Bessey went to McGill University, here he took first class honors in Chemistry, Physiology, Histology and Pathology. He graduated from Bowdoin Medical School in the class of '95. After graduat- ing from Bowdoin he took a course at the Post Graduate School and Hospital in New York. He came next to Waterville and took up the practice of medicine with his father, Dr. A. E. Bessey, on Main street and is now established as one of the city's best physicians and one of the most prominent citizens. At present, together with his other work, he is assistant literary editor in the department of Anatomy and Pathology of the General Medicine and Science, and is also Pathol- ogist of Augusta City Hospital. Dr. Bessey has always been personallyninterested in Biology and has made it his Hhobbyl' throughout his course of study. In him Colby has found a most efficient instructor and it is to him that we, as stude-nts of Colby, extend a most hearty welcome, knowing that he will have the best of success as our instructor in Biology. , C.

WLLINVX OLIVER STTVENS. my -,-'--- for 'I T seems almost unnecessary to welcome Mr. Stevens to Colby, for he is ilkmvf no stranger to the college or city. Nevertheless the welcome extended to him is as hearty as though he were a stranger. It is even heartier, for we know whom we are welcoming. It is hardly in order to give a record of Mr. Stevens' life. He was born in Burmah of goodly Baptist parentage a little more than a score of years ago. His education, however, is thoroughly American. He was graduated with honor from the local High School in I8Q5 and from Colby College in june, 1899. The college record made by Mr. Stevens is a good -one. All through his course he stood high in literary work and he won several prizes in literary con- tests. In athletics he took a very prominent part. Une state and several college records are held by Mr. Stevens and in his senior year he was captain of the track team. During the four years of his course he drew many of the drawings presented in the various editions of the Oracle published in those years and the ,QQ Gracle was edited by Mr. Stevens. It is not always that a person who has ability and willingness can fill success- fully a trying position. For a young man just graduated from college to be called upon to occupy the chair of the Professor of English and to be asked to instruct ' 144 students who are within one of being his classmates was a Hattering proposition but not the holder of pleasant prospect. Mr. Stevens has not only met the require-- ments of the task set before him, but he has performed his duties in a way that removes any doubts that may have arisen about putting so recent a graduate upon the-stat? of instructors and that reflects great credit upon him. The discipline of his classroom has been excellent and the lectures and recitations have been quite up to the high standard set by Professor Roberts. The elective courses offered in English Literature have been well received under his instruction and there are none to contradict the statement that Mr. Stevens has made a marked success of his year's work as an instructor at Colby. l' 4 - 4i'x' 3 bf ' Q5 ' Y 9NfQ 6 .s w ll fb T45 s L 'L Q 'yy l' gy 10:22 If 3311- 53640 FRED DPYIQKED HAIVIILTQNI PIKE. Uyy T has been the custom of Colby from time to time to welcome back M certain of her alumni to assume the duties of instructor, and often ygpd N , has she found, to her satisfaction, that many of her best teachers are those whom she herself has trained and nurtured. Perhaps of the younger alumni who have lately returned to the college in the capacity of instructor no one has been more popular or hel-d a greater place in the hearts of the students than Mr. Pike. He was born in Hyde Park, Mass., June 2, 1875, and lived here sixteen years. VVhile at Hyde Park he attended the public schools, being a student one year at the Hyde Park High School. In 1891 he moved to Boston and finished his preparatory Work for college at the Boston Latin and Frye's Private School. He was graduated from the latter in 1894. Mr. Frye will be remembered by many as a graduate of Colby, class of 1880, and it was through his suggestion that Mr. Pike entered Colby in the Winter term of 1895. During his college course here Mr. Pike enjoyed considerable distinc- tion as a scholar, showing marked ability in the departments of French and German. At the close of his junior year he shared one of the first German prizes, Mr. Pike also entered actively into athletics and is an excellent example of what systematic physical training can do towards the development of a fine ' 146 physique. He was especially prominent in track athletics and holds the Colby records in the hammer throw and discus. He also entered into both baseball and football g during his sophomore year he played end on the lirst eleven and was captain of the second eleven. In his senior year Mr. Pike was engaged as coach of the team at Higgins Classical Institute. V Mr. Pike was graduated from Colby in the spring of 1898 and in the fall of that year received an appointment as pupil teacher in the Everett High School. Here he remained until the following February when he was engaged as instruc- tor at Wabaii School for Boys. The past summer has been spent by Mr. Pike in study at the summer school at Harvard University. At the opening of the fall term Mir. Pike returned to Colby and throughout the year has done excellent and conscientious Work as instructor in French and German. He is a member of the Delta Upsilon Fraternity.

C -STURTEVANT, 1901 148 Ill Saturday Evening in June. -Z'O+ lt is the witching hour of twilight, the close of one of the most perfect days in the month of roses. The students, having appeased their rave-nous appetites, cluster about the old South College steps, the scene of many a simi- lar gathering. A few tennis enthusiasts, anxious to utilize the last fleeting rays, are still engaged in their favorite sport. Others, out of their great love for the beauties of nature, quietly slip away and start in the direction of the Messalonslcee. Some, seeking to make good use of all educational opportunities, are eagerly perusing the publications in the reading room, some are making night hideous with fiddle, mandolin and cornet, but the center of interest is the group about the old steps. X Outwardly, there is no distinction of classes, but could you read the thoughts passing through the minds of the various individuals of the group, you could easily distinguish the length of time that has elapsed since they first entered the old chapel. The freshman is congratulating himself that now he can sit on the steps without fear of showers, he is beginning to feel that he forms a part of the college and has a share in its activitiesg the sophomore is busy planning some new scheme of deviltry,-a train of thought which the peculiar atmosphere of a june evening invariably arouses in the true sophomore. The leaders in the conversa- tion, those careless, easy-going fellows, who,-in their own mind-s,at least,-typify the true college man, are the juniors. They have reached that stage in their course when college life has the most attractiveness, they have passed the hard, tedious plugging,-as well as the childish scraps-of the Hrst two years and are not yet burdened with the dignity and responsibility of the last year of under- graduate life. In consequence they are enjoying to the utmost all those pleasures the normal college boy finds in his course. But how-different the trend of the reflections which occupy the mind of the senior, and which, to a great extent, are visible upon his features! For him there are few more such evenings. The day is fast approaching which will separate the happy past,-those four bright years, so free from care and trouble, so full of 149 joyous memories, from the uncertain future, in which he tries in vain to trace his career. One fact stares him in the face. The years of preparation are over. Life, with all its responsibilities, all its burdens, is before him. The joys of youth must now give way to the duties of manhood, and as he muses upon the future, there arise before him in gloomy procession a long train of lost opportunities,-he realizes now what he wished he had realized four years ago, the full value of the privileges of his course. As the group increases, someone starts a rollicking college song, and the strains of the old familiar tunes wake the echoes of the campus. Did you ever listen to a crowd of college boys singing on a summer evening? You can find no sweeter music. No symphony orchestra or skilled vocalist can more truly express the varying phases of human emotions, the joys and sorrows of life, than this blending of untrained voices in the sweet harmony of the favorite songs o-f col- lege boys. As the evening shadows deepen, the little company gradually decreases. The rising moon reminds some of the attractiveness of a walk along Watei'ville's shady streets, and in as stealthy a manner as possible they steal away in search of a fair partner. Others there are, though not so numerous, who conscientiously call to mind approaching examinations and with a regretful sigh, depart for their rooms and resolutely apply themselves to systematic cramming. A few athletes, obedient to duty's call, stubbornly resist the temptations of the summer night and seek their beds at an early hour. Thus the group dwindles, little by little, until at least only two are left. It is needless to say that they are seniorsf They have remained until all the others have left. A distant clock strikes the midnight hour, but they feel no disposition to retire. The sight of the dear old campus, bathed in the full radiance of the moon- light, and rendered doubly dear by the fact that they are soon to leave it, awakens memories of the past and arouses a loyalty to old Colby which the lapse of time can only strengthen. Silently the two friends stroll along the shaded walks. Every old landmark, every feature of the familiar surroundings, seems to possess a significance never before even faintly understood or appreciated. The old dormitories, with their memories of spring showers and involuntary entertainments, the chapel-never so beautiful as now-recalling the weary hours spent in the library alcoves and the still more weary half-hours spent in listening to some well meaning,but none the less tiresome, after-prayers speaker: the rows of willows, now in the full splendor of their luxuriant beauty, inviting, as of old, the wandering footsteps of amorous couples 3 the Chemical Laboratory, the very thought of which brings up recollec- tions of burned lingers, broken test tubes, ignominious tlunks, and the piercing glances of a pair of eyes whose counterpart cannot be found this side of the Styx, the athletic field, with its history of heartrending defeats and intoxicating vic- 150 toriesg the gloomy observatory, the cheerless walls of Coburn Hall, the relic of antiquity known as Recitation Hall,-yes, even the pump and the bill board-all tell their silent stories of the happy past. All this is Colby, and they are Colby students. Now, as never before, do they begin to realize how much this fact means, and as the love for the institution deepens Within them they look with a sense of shame upon the many ways in which they have failed to do their part in maintaining and advancing the standard of old Colby. If they were freshmen again, how much they would do for her sake! How the petty personal ties, the bitterness of class strife, the folly of fraternity partisanship, all fill them with a sense of loathing! But they are soon to leave these happy surroundingsg the past is unalterable, only the future is still in their control, and they mutually resolve that the dear old college shall never again have cause to complain of lack of loyalty on their part. They have reached the old steps again. The circuit of the grounds is com- pleted. Qne more affectionate glance at the familiar landscape, and they reluct- antly part. A few minutes later, and they are deep in slumber. VVe cannot follow them into the land of dreams, but we can safely say that their visions all radiate from the central theme of their evening revery, Old Colby, our Glory. -, Q- gig 'Q 151 The Reception. 'X-9+ The tinkling bell is often heard, And dresses rustling on the stairg Heard too is PreXy'sl' welcome word, And music sweet on scented air.

WVe do not wish to stop this, for one of the main objects of the Oracle is to amuse, and anything that amuses and does not leave a bitter sting behind it is one of the most welcome things the editor could receive, yet the Oracle serves another purpose. The Oracle goes to people who are interested in the college. Some are graduates, others are going to college some-time. They read the book, and if they see nothing about the course in Chemistry except that You could get the lesson if you would put six hours of good hard study on it. they are perhaps thankful that they graduated before that came to pass or that Colby is n-ot the only college on earth It is all right to talk about the six hours of study or the days of work in the library mak- ing up bibliographies for Black, but we should go further, we should tell of the good we derive from these courses. The past year has seen many innovations at Colby, showing that the faculty are alive to the wishes and the needs of the students. New courses have been added and old ones remodeleduntil we stand on a level in the matter of courses with any college of our size in America, and while we are sorry to say some of our faculty are sadly overworked, this matter is being remedied as fast as the financial condition of the college allows, And it will not be long before we will have quantity', as well as Hqualityv in our faculty to place our courses on the best possible footing. In the department of Philosophy we have to chronicle two changes. One of them is the resignation of Dr. Pepper. No words of eulogy are needed here, for Dr. Pepper is so well and favorably known that praise is unnecessary and the man would indeed be hard to please who could find fault with Dr. Pepper as a man or as an instructor. Psychology may be a dry hard study and ive hours a week .:.,.. ' 5 :T - - 4', f92 , A .5 -cf -1 153 at that, but taken under our genial president while it is far, yes, very far removed from being a snap,U it gives one a view of life he never could get except under a man of wide knowledge and a vigorous intellect. In the department of History and Political Economy Dr. Black, ever on the alert to keep the department strictly up to date, has changed the course in Sociol- ogy to a four-hour course instead of two as formerly. This course is greatly enlarged and improved. It is a course that gives us a grasp on social problems which we need if we are to have a liberal education. Dr. Black is ever increasing the benefits to be derived from the History courses, both by adding new electives and by revising an-d adding to his older courses. The courses in Ancient Languages remain unchanged, except that cerfain courses have been made elective which have hitherto been required. W'hile less Greek is required than formerly Prof. Stetson offers as much as be-fore so that the student wishing to specialize in Greek has the sarne opportunity as before. To those knowing the study required on the Greek it is sufficient praise to Pro-f. Stetson to say very few have not come back with the elective blank from one to six times. To one intending to teach it would be worth his time for Prof. Taylor's whole Latin course if he could only catch the knack of keeping the attention of the student and the order in the room which Prof. Taylor has with no appareni effort on his part. Then who can ever forget the beauties of the Odes of Horace when Prof. Taylor has read some passage? He seems to have at all times the right word for the right place. Then what can one say about the courses in Mathematics? They are hard, they are required, but they are to Prof. Warreii. All Colby students know that i Cosine, The Freshman's Friend, is no lying appellation. The course and the professor remain the same as ever,-that is, all right. Chemistry and Physiology are no 'fsoft thingsf' at Colby. Prof. Elder believes that men should come to college to work and they will work or Hunk when they come to Chemistry. But the men are few and far between who do not regard Chemistry as one of the best courses in college, and the longer a man is under the instruction of Dr. Elder the better he likes him as the man and the professor. He is an original deep-thinking man. Hard as his course is, his elec- tive class is crowded. He has kindly offered advanced work to a few seniors, and the man is indeed fortunate who has the privilege of taking Prof. Elder for four terms. Wheii Mr. Stevens came here to take up the work in English, he took a large contract on his shoulders, for the name of Prof. Roberts was the synonym fo-r good instruction. It is only necessary to say that he has proved a worthy man in a responsible position. In modern languages Colby has brought her courses up to date. A third year has been offered in both French and German. This was accomplished largely through the iniiuence of Dr. Marquardt. There is no question as to the value of T54 this extra year. Dr. Marquardt is a very efficient teacher and those taking the full course in German will have the very best of instruction. Mr. Pike who has the French is another of our younger instructors, but he has proved that success is not measured by years of experience. VVe have lost Dr. Hull this year from the department of Physics and Astronomy. It seemed a great loss to the college, but We have had Mr. Drisko in this department since, and he has proved himself a most able instructor. This course has been greatly strengthened this year by adding a second term to the required work in Physics, giving the students a far better grasp of the subject than could be obtained in the limited amount of time required before. The name of Wfilliam Shirley Bayley is all thehguarantee needed to prove that the course in Geology and Mineralogy could hardly be improved upon. A new course has been offered-or, more properly, an old course has been changed-to suit the latest ideas so that now Biology at Colby is up to date. Dr. Bessey, who has charge, is thoroughly acquainted with the subject, the students and their needs. This is a very valuable department to a person intending to study medicine. Physical Training is required of all classes for the first time this year. Fine courses are offered, and Dr. Frew is thoroughly familiar with his Work. Miss Koch continues to instruct in Physical Culture and Expression. Her work in this line is Well known and needs no commendation to prove its value. Miss Mathews, the Dean of the XflfOl1lC1l,S Division, is also associate instructor in English and if the young ladies in their biography of her have said one-half the complimentary things about her that they say elsewhere, any words abo-ut her work here would sound very prosy after their praise. Last, but not least, is the hour a Week required of the sophomores for the Erst term on Libraries and Books. This is a very valuable department, and if Prof. Hall is not capable of giving the very best of instruction in this branch, We would like to see the man that could. We may make jokes about our faculty, we may complain that we have to work too hard in some department, but you will notice that the jokes are not on the unpopular men in college, so with our faculty, it is no sign because a man gets a roast in the Gracle that he is unpopular. Long live Colby and her faculty. 155 lVlUsiDQS of a Sophomore Kipling. -X-0+ 'Cross the broad,white, ice-bound campus, just beyond the good old There's another sort o' buildin', with a roof that's made 0' tin.

OIOOOO IOQOOO Last fall as the Indian summer drew near its close, and seemed by its mellow, golden sunshine to be inviting all mankind to come out-of-doors, it was noticed that Sturtevant, 1901, was neglecting his studies. From time to time, he was seen with a dreamy far-away look in his eyes, while his recitations in chemistry were such as to cause Billy to pace the rloor. Later he was noticed in close conversation with kindred spirits, then it was known that a hunting trip was under consideration, and that Sturt,,' who poses as a hunter, was trying to induce others of like aspirations to accompany him to the Moosehead lake region for a few days' outing, promising the use of a snug log cabin with every modern convenience, from whose windows could be seen such game as deer, moose, caribou, bear, etc., promising also, that his brother, who was a hunter of experience, would go along to cook and do all the work, and show just where the game was to be found. So enticing was Sturt's description, that Towne and Doughty finally decided to take advantage of the first opportunity and see Maineis great game park. After due consideration, it was decided to approach Furbush who has aspirations as a Red Cross nurse and who in case of accident to any of the party would prove a valuable addition. Wlieii questioned his reply was characteristic, 'like to go deer hunting? VVell I guess! Ask a fish if it likes to swimf' VVant to camp out for a week? Well rather! The week following Thanksgiving was the time chosen for the slaughter of wild game and Wilsoii ponds,about three miles east of Moosehead,as the appointed place. Thanksgiving came, and the Friday following, the party arrived at the T57 Wilsons. Several inches of snow was found to cover the ground and around the shore of the lake the coves were covered with ice. The team, taken at Greenville, landed the party at the wharf at about noon. From this point, Towne, Doughty, and Sturt embarked with the baggage for Camp Island Rest, situated on the mid- dle Wilson about three miles up the lake, while Furbush decided he would hunt along shore and reach camp by land. Say, Furb, don't kill more than two deer at your first shot, 'drawled Charlie from the boat, while Doughty added, lf you get lost, fire your rifle and we'll come and find you. VVhat did I pay a dollar and a half for a compass for,-hey? and Furbush gravely proceeded to light his pipe, after which he reached into his pocket for the compass, but the compass wasn't there, and while Furbush vainly turned his different pockets wrong side out, the other boys cheered him on by comforting remarks, Oh, that clerk at Greenville thought you was easy. He never give you any compassf' Yes, Furb, you left it on the counter there in the store? Didn't leave your rifle in the store too, did you ? All this time Furbush was pulling from his pocket articles of all kinds-combs, tobacco, pipe, fish lines, cartridges, were dumped in mixed profusion on the wharf. Finally the missing compass was found in the pocket of Furb's ulster, which had been stowed away in the boat. Getting his course, Furbush disappeared in the woods, and the boys, breaking ice, paddling, and rowing by turns, by the middle of the afternoon had reached camp. Believing that there would be no .farther use for the boat, it was unloaded and while Doughty was left to settle camp and await Furbush, Sturt and Towne rowed back and leaving the boat at the wharf started to walk the three miles around by shore. Darkness found them in the vicinity of camp, but unable to locate the neck which Sturt said connected the peninsular, upon which the camp was built, with the main land. To the boys it seemed an island the shore line of which could be dimly seen two or three rods away. Fearing to leave the shore of the lake lest they should become hopelessly lost they were forced to climb over, under and through almost inipassable thickets of cedar, flr and spruce. Meanwhile Furbush and Doughty, becoming uneasy at the long absence of the boys, began to fire their guns. But by this time it was pitch dark in the woods and Charlie, despairing of ever finding the connecting isthmus and deeming an ice bath preferable to a night in the woods, plunged into the water and struck out toward the sound of the guns. A heavy splash, followed by the quick indrawing of the breath, and half a minute later a satisfied There! Fm outf' told Sturt that Charlie had reached the shore, and after a short delay he too waded across to the island. A few minutes later and our two friends were safe in camp, where they found a good supper and the much needed dry clothing. 158 The next morning the boys awoke only to find it raining, and as no one seemed inclined to do any cooking, the meals that day were from the food Sturt had brought from home. After breakfast, while the other boys were washing the dishes, Sturt started off to find his g'lasses which he had lost the night before. Better bring that boat back with you when you come. I aint going to swim to camp every night,' called Charlie as Sturt left camp. All right! and some of you boys put on the beans for Sunday. As soon as the dishes were out of the way the boys proceeded to get out their riHes, each exclaiming on the ability of their own particular gun to ki-ll deer. To settle a disputed point on their own shooting ability Ifurbushvand Charlie disappeared out-of-doors to rind a suitable target, while Doughty busied himself writing an extendedaccount of Deer Hunting by a Dear Hunteru evidently to some one of the leading dailies-at least Doughty excused his writing by saying he was reporting for a paper. Sturt returned in the afternoon bringing the boat and his glasses and later Furb and Charlie came into camp, but without bringing any proof of their ability to kill deer. When Sunday morning came and breakfast was over, all felt the great temp- tation of breaking the Sabbath, that temptation which the small boy generally feels when he thinks of his new fish-hooks and rod and sees the sparkling brook glide quietly through the meadow. Each, however, by the restraint of all the others, was kept quietly in camp all day. But as for the Sabbath, its solemnities were entirely forgotten in the novelty of camp life. To begin with, said Sturt, standing by the table in the capacity of a cook, we might as well be thinking about something to eatf, And as he poked his hand into the depth of a large paper bag exclaimed excitedly, Great Scott! There are only two biscuits and part of a loaf of bread left and yet only two days in camp. Wliat will we do before the week is gone Pl' Do,', said Doughty, what do you think is going to happen to that big pot of beans we put in the oven last night? That will keep two of us that length of time. I It will preserve us all that length of time if you put any more molasses into them, grumbled Furb as he nearly upset the teakettle trying to get an extra large block of wood into the stove. You didn't hear 'bout those beans getting sweetened last night did you, Sturt iw UNO 1: Well, I remembered seeing mother put in molasses, I wanted them to taste like hers so Charlie and I put in a good dose. Afterwards Furb said he had already sweetened them once. Lord of I-Ieavens! I thought mighty queer where all that can of molasses went to. I guess they will taste like your mother's all right now 5 I drained the can into them just a minute agof' 159 At this Charlie exclaimed wildly that a division had got to be made and each one must do his own business. As for having too many cooks in the broth, it wouldnt do. Wfe better let Sturt tend to the cooking himself after this. Finally it was settled that Sturt should do the cooking, Furb make the coffee and bring water, Doughty keep the fire and wash dishes, while Charlie wasto act as bell-boy, as it were. The most of the time, however, he spent patiently clean- ing his rifle and sweeping the floor when it really needed it. It was late in the afternoon when dinner was ready, for as the home-made food began to give out, it became more and more difficult to get a good meal. Everything was quite eatable except the hot biscuits which Sturt let fall, baker- sheet and all, upon the table with an exclamation of pain. Then with a quick gesture of his burnt finger through the cool air he gave 'his usual call: Bean on tab, at which the quartette drew up round the board. At the close of festivities the paper bag was empty, but the bakersheet was still full of warm but hard cakes of baked dough, which was hardly worthy the name food. All mention of such, however, was made with the highest com- pliments for, as usual, the cook first of all demanded each one's opinion of the food under the level of his faithful Wirichester. A post-mortem examination of the article proved that no injurious ingredi- ents had been put in. On the other hand it lacked a few things such as soda. cream-of-tartar, salt, shortening, etc., and, what was more, all such necessities had been forgotten and left at home. Now was the time for inventive genius. The problem was to find some article of bread stuff which could be made without soda and cream-of-tartar. Furb was finally hailed as the savior of the crew when he suggested johnny-cake and hasty-pudding and it proved a valuable diet until some one could get out into civilization. 'When night came, the beans, which had suffered a lack of water as well as an oversupply of sweetening, were well done and served as a very appropriate lunch before such a glorious day as was being expected. Then, pulling his toque over his head each crawled under a weight of sheetless comforters and united the past and future with a vague scenery of panoramic views of home, Heaven and hunting grounds. I Monday morning Sturt's excited A'Boys! It's snowing! VVe can get deer to-day I brought the rest of the party out of bed. A hasty breakfast was soon eaten and taking lunches in their pockets the boys crossed the lake toward Rum Mountain 5 the damp snow coating each one as it fell, till he resembled' a snow image before the farther side of the lake was reached. On landing a few moments convinced them that deer were plenty, tracks were numerous and fresh in the newly fallen snow. Furb and Doughty each following different trails, soon separated. Charlie, finding the fresh trail of a big buck, determined, with his usual grit, that he would follow that track till he 160 secured his deer, forgetting that a Ustern chase is a long one. Occasional glimpses of the buck served to draw him on till he forgot the snow-storm, forgot to keep track of direction, forgot everything but the deer he was follow- ing, and so hour after hour passed, bringing a change in the weather from snow to rain and still .Charlie kept on until the darkness warned him that he must give up the chase and return to camp. Referring to his compass, he found that it would not work. Climbing a tree, he could see no familiar landmark. Striking out in the probable- direction of camp, he was rewarded 'by coming to someones track which, with a light heart, he proceeded to follow. The track was soon joined by a second pair of footprints and Charlie felt he must be near the pond. Something about a certain tree near by seemed familiar. It seemed as though he passed that tree only a few moments before and all in a hash came the startling realization that he was following his own footsteps, around and around in a circle. Then the dismal truth that he was lost forced itself upon him and unless help came from outside he must spend the night in the woods. Again and again he fired his rifle and vainly listened for some answering shot. Then gathering such wood as he could find he attempted to kindle a fire but everything was so wet that this was impossible. Realizing that wet as he was he must keep moving or freeze, he selected a comparatively level spot between two trees and after wringinfg his stockings as dry as possible he commenced his weary march. The snow, which at first covered his patn, soon wore away, the night shut down and save for the wind, which was blowing colder now, and the tramp- tramp-tramp-as Charlie moved back and forth, all was still. Pk wk as his X Pk Ik rk Pk his Dk 24 Dk As the afternoon drew toward night, the other boys gathered at the boat, for it had been decided by all to meet there at three o'clock. Sturt and Charlie had even joked about their experience on Friday night and decided once was enough for them. After waiting a reasonable time the three crossed to camp believing that Charlie would soon appear and signal to them. Soon after they reached camp Sturt's brother, who had been unable to come in with the boys Friday, came around the corner of the cabin and received a warm greeting from all. Almost his first words were, Are you fellows all safe in camp ?x' Learning that Charlie had not yet appeared, without waiting to change his clothing, for he also had been hunting during the day, he took the boat and crossing the pond began firing his ride and calling, but no Charlie. Rowing farther along he fired and called, until the darkness and increasing wind made it impossible to remain longer upon the lake. Returning to camp the feelings of the boys cannot be described as they realized that Charlie was either hurt or lost and that owing to the darkness and wind they could not go to'his assistance. 161 . Sturt's brother advised that they all try and get what sleep they could so as to be able to stand a long tramp, for as he gravely said, The chances are Charlie is lost. If he gets a ire started he's all right, but to-morrow morning he will try and find camp and the Lord only knows where he'll go. Sturt can go out to the settlement in the morning and get three or four guides to come in. We three will take Charlie's trail and I shall make you fellows hustle. If Charlie-is hurt-but we trust he isn'tf' Little sleep was secured by any of the party that night for it cleared off bitterly cold by nine o'clock and each felt that the worst must happen. Long before light they were ready and Sturt had started for the settlement to get help. Doughty, Furbush and Stui-t's brother crossed to where Charlie was last seen and finding the nearly obliterated track, supposed to be Charlie's, they followed as rapidly as possible the many windings and ups and downs of his path. About one o'clock was found the wood he had collected and a few moments later was found the place where Charlie had spent the long weary hours of night. Footprints made since the snow had frozen and leading from the path brought almost a fee-ling of relief to the boys as they realized that he was not hurt, and had got through the night alive. Kindling a tire of the wood Charlie had collected a hasty lunch was eaten. Again taking up the trail, which was plainer now, a rapid pace was followed for the next few hours, a pace, in fact, which at times left Doughty and Furbush far in the rear. Finally the party came out at a clearing near Lake Onaway where it was learned from a logging team that Charlie, earlier in the day, had been fed and dried at a hunting camp near by and directed to the Canadian Pacific Rail- road where, through the kindness of a freight conductor, he obtained a ride to Greenville. VVhen Doughty, Purbush, and Sturtls brother learned that Charlie was all right and upon his way to camp a -fervent Thank God from Doughty expressed the feelin-gs of all. Reaching the camp a hearty supper was soon waiting after which a pleasant evening was spent. Doughty, wishing to celebrate, hred his revolver at the table sending a bullet crashing through the top and causing Abe to swear softly. The next morning taking their course from map and compass the boys started for camp. On the way Furb grave-ly shoots a squirrel and misses a deer, while Doughty borrows and returns the hind-quarter of a deer some one has killed. Camp was reached just at night fall after a long hard tramp. Here Charlie was found, not much the worse for wear after his experience, save that his feet are swollen and very sore. Sturt also was found limping around camp, having blistered his feet in his hunt after Charlie. The next morning hunting began in earnest, and owing to the fact that Sturt's brother had hunted in the locality before and knew the places where deer were most likely to be obtained two deer rewarded their labors. Owing to sore feet Sturt decided to return home and for the same reason Charlie staid in camp. The next morning Charlie hobbled out into the woods determined to do some 162 still hunting. Selecting a favorable spot he sat down beside an old log, but sitting motionless alone in the woods grows wearisonie after an hour or two, and Charlie had about given up in despair when a slight crackling off to the right caused him to look in that direction. Charlie said he felt just as one does in foot- ball when the ball iskicked o-ff, as he saw standing within easy shot a ine deer. His rifle did its duty and as he returned to camp dragging his deer over the ice which covered the lake, Doughty was seen coming along shore from the other direction dragging a big buck, and as Sturt's brother said in camp that night You couldn't touch either of the boys with a ten-foot pole. Sunday the boys went out to the farm proud of the-ir four deer and happy that all had ended well. Leaving Greenville early Monday morning, at nine they were in Waterville ready to take up their studies with renewed courage. , A,-F - ' - - 1 A, ,mil ' I ' e ' - Nl ?

RULE 1. The name of this fraternity shall be known as the Kolby Ko-ord Katchers. 4 RULE II. Membership shall be limited to the good looking men of the college. RULE 111. Regular meetings shall be held every Saturday evening. Special meetings -can be called for at any time upon application to the Dean. RULE IV. No member shall be guilty of absence from more than two regular meetings in succession. ' RULE V. Association with young ladies outside the college is strictly prohibited. To ensure the success of the order from a fmancial standpoint, a committee was appointed to confer with the faculty in regard to a system of fines, the surplus remaining after paying the running expenses, such as boat hire, teams, printed announcements, etc., to be devoted to the furnishing ofthe parlor in the proposed VVoman's Dormitory. After a heated discussion, the following schedule was reported and adopted. One call, evening ............ .10 One call, evening, on stairs. . . . .19 One call, evening, in kitchen. . . .29 One call, afternoon ..................... .05 Code book of Dunn House signal service .... 1.79 Messalonskee parties, chaperoned or day ...... .13 Messalonskee parties, evening, unchaperoned. . . .99 Taking girl to church ..................... .03 One hug, light turned on. . . .21 One hug, light turned down .... .43 Moonlight hand squeeze .,.. .16 Kisses in the dark ........ .82 Kisses, by lamp light ...................... .27 Kisses, Dean or Matron present, per dozen .... .17 Invitation to tea or hammock swing ......... . 36 ' . 168 Buggy ride ................ . I2 Buggy ride, one arm kind .... .18 Saying yes ............. I .98 Fixing the day .... .OI March to altar .................................................. .oo One of the most noticeable characteristics of this organization is the deep reverence for religious matters which seems to possess all its members. Attend- ance at such trivial exercises as chapel and Sunday morning worship is purely voluntary, but nothing will excuse a member from Sunday evening attendance. An interesting fact which Teddy has called to our attention is that the public reports of Kappa Kappa Kappa men are always filled out in the following manner: Number of Sundays in the term ............................. 13, Attending church of my gi1'l's election ........................ I3 times. Attended elsewhere ........................................ O times. Thus adding a significant word which does not appear in the printed for1n. Wliile prescribing no creed for its members, the fraternity places special stress upon certain portions of the holy writ. Among others may be mentioned the first psalm,-or rather the following modernized version of that beautiful piece of Versification. I. Blessed is the student that walketh not in the counsel of the benedictine, but understandeth the way of the Dean, and sitteth in the hammock with the co-ord. 2. For his delight is in the presence of the co-ord and in her wake doth he follow day and night. 3. And he shall be like a tree planted under the windows of Ladies' Hall, that shall Witness the ways of the co-ord and profit thereby. His pull also shall not depart from him, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. I 4. They who scoff at the co-ord are not so, but are like the farmer who hails from the rurals. 5. Therefore the latter shall not stand in the world, nor yet be blessed with a happy homestead. 6. For the world knoweth the way of the husband, but the way of the unvvedded shall perish. i 169 Aristocracy Club. +0-P ' fOrganized to promote the interests of the upper and teach the vulgar herd their positionj ALMIGHTY LORD oF CREATION.

The co-ords crowded the grand stand pews, and stifled an inward groan, When Long came out with his Irish grin, and Craw with his megaphone. As the clock on Silas' mantel struck twenty minutes of three, The Freshman gang came on the turf, a wondrous sight to see: Some had blue sweaters, some had red, some sported fancy hose, While Doc Steward wore his nice soft hat and a new spring suit of clothes. The various players who composed the teams that were to play Had been chosen on the day before in a rather ingenious way. The candidates were all drawn up-a line of vivid green- And each in turn had his carcass weighed by the latest slot machine. The heaviest men were styled the Fats,H the lighest were the 'fLeans, And many sought to gain a place by sly, deceitful meansg Paine tried in vain to hold his gas and thus reduce his weight, Pierce stuffed his stomach with restaurant grub, but shared a similar fate. Some trouble was experienced, as the writer has lately learned, In Ending an umpire strictly fair and just to all concerned. At last they agreed on Billy Hawes, who could not be unfair if he tried, As he knew too little about the game to favor either side. The fats were the nrst to take the field, and the spectators saw at a glance From the way in which they started out that the lean men had no chance. Smut spat on his glove and rubbed it in, and Cupid played way back, Prepared to catch any kind of a Hy inside the cinder track. But the fearless players of lighter build refused to be dismayed, They faced Tommy's curves in a way to win the shyest freshman maid. The fat men watched the scores come in and we can guess their thoughts As they breathlessly shagged the three base hits of Prexy and Isaac Watts. The game ran on for some four hours and as many innings were played, The scorer wore three pencils out, recording the errors made. From base to base, on every side, a well-worn track was trod, Which Boot compared to the cow-paths he had seen on the Cornville sod. To give, however, a full account of this contest of strength and skill, F ATS Would require more space than this book contains, and daunt the readiest quill, If a more exhaustive tale you seek, you are courteously referred To the Pzmkin Thrasher of Chase's Mills,'Gramp.

MQ I72 From the Co-ord Standpoint. +04- Wlien it became noised about that boating on the Messalonskee might pos- sibly be prohibited, a mass-meeting of the ladies of the college was callecluforth- with and the following petition was drawn up after a heated discussion. To the Honorable Mayor and City Fatlzers of Wate1'vilZe.' We, the women of Colby College, respectfully and humbly pray your rever- end board not to take away from us the privilege of boating upon the placid waters of the Messalonskee. Such action would seriously injure our prospects for the future and might prevent us from ever attaining the supreme object for which many of us are here-that of getting engaged. The scene of nearly all college engagements is laid on the quiet bosom of that secluded stream. By taking away such an opportunity as is offered for brin-ging the young men to our feet by the aid of the witching light of the moon and the plashing of the linipid water against the boat, you would be dooming a whole race of innocent co-ordhood to pine away in the fond regrets and vain fancies of single cussedness. The fame of the Messalonskee has spread far and wide and is a great factor in bringing co-ords to Colby. So, believing that you have the interests of the college and the fair CFD co-ord at heart, we prayerfully leave our fate in your hands. Signed by X, Y, Z, etc. April I, 1900. The following postscript was surreptitiously added by the junior girls: P. S. We think the freshman girls ought to be kept from going boating, for with their good looks they are cutting too much ice, so that we don't get half a show. 173 Storfiettes. 'I-0+ It is generally conceded that VVillie jack is a likely candidate for cycling honors at the next Intercollegiate Meet. He is putting in good faithful practice, not on the track, but on the streets of Waterville and neighboring towns. When asked why he did not like the track, he said something about the co-ords not liking such a public place. Of course everyone knows that WVillie would not practice at all if he could get no co-ord to ride with him, but as it is, he seems to be putting in very faithful practice. On rainy days he can go and talk wheel, so he keeps in elegant form. As can well be imagined, one co-ord would not be able to keep Willie in good practice so he has one on each street. If he wishes to go down town, he takes one, if up town another, and so on, which makes it very convenient. One balmy April afternoon he called for the Ladies' Hall partner of his wheeling bliss and they set out. It so happened that this fair damsel's wheel had just arrived and she 'was not up to the lightning speed of her escort, but she struggled bravely on. She knew not where she was, but still she pressed on. At last her strength gave out just at the top of a lofty precipice,-her wheel wavere-d, stopped, and-horrors! she went over the precipice, but she was unharmed and, with the assistance of Willie, managed to get out and start again. This time her escort was more faithful and kept by her side, but he could not resist the tempta- tion to show off his abilities as a trick rider, and so he whirled about her like mad. At last, dizzied, she was unable to turn her wheel quickly enough to avoid the disaster and Wi1lie's wheel crashed against hers and the two riders came to the ground. Luckily both were unharmed by the fall, though it is said that the young lady was injured in helping him to his feet. Experience is a hard teacher, an-d we hope our friend William profited by the episode. Of all the courteous, gentlemanly individuals you ever met, there is no one more truly peaceable in disposition than our ,worthy janitor,-so long as his offi- cial dignity remains unoffended. But if you once venture to- question his author- ity, or cast any reflections upon his character or importance, the' smothered fire of indignation breaks forth, and you could ask for no more infuriated opponent. T74 B The monotonous routine of Sam's official duties had been for sometime undisturbed by anything of a serious nature, when one morning early in the spring term, a rather seedy looking representative of the traveling fraternity, who was at that time doing this particular section of the State, strolled on the campus, and in the course of his tour of inspection, encountered the dignitary just men- tioned. He was given a polite invitation to leave but, unfortunately for him, did not see fit to accept. Sam attempted to use further persuasion,-we all know the power of his eloquence,-but received only a blow from the hobo's fist in reply. This was too much for our old friend to stand, and throwing all his dignity to the winds, he seized a cudgel nearly as large as himself, and, with his whole body fairly quivering with suppressed emotion, he started for that hobo, whose brains-if any he possessed-would doubtless have strewed the campus, had not two other important officials of the college, viz: Bakeman, the mouthpiece of the conference board, and Crawshaw, general overseer of the public welfare, courage- ously interfered, and by the most strenuous exertions succeeded in holding back our mighty janitor until the bum made good his escape. The sequel to this little incident may be found in the police court records for the next day, where we learn that upon the strength of our colored friend's testi- mony, the knight of the road was sent up for 60 days, to brood upon the evils of vagrancy and the difficulties attending the settling of the race problem. It is real refreshing occasionally, after listening day after day to tiresome verbal encounters, to witness a genuine fight of the old Tom Brown style. The one with which we have to deal comes as an oasis in a desert of inactivity, and as such deserves to be perpetuated by due record in the Oracle. The participants in this thrilling combat were none other than Rabbit Dear- born and My nephew, Mr. Moody. The scene was the Kennebec river, the occasion an exciting polo game in midwinter. A The contest was at its height. Hockey clubs were clashing, skaters were colliding, and to one unacquainted with the game, general confusion prevailed. Rabbit had several times glided gracefully between Moody's lower limbs, as that gentleman stood like a modern Colossus of Rhodes, vainly endeavoring to follow the ball. The experiment was attempted once too often, however, with the result that both came to the ground-or, more properly, to the icwin as heap. Say, you did that on purpose, puffed the ex-Dartmouth athlete. The reply was more expressive than euphonious. VVithout further adieu our long-limbed friend made a dash at the object of his wrath, and they clinched. The man from Maine fell on top, and proceeded to use his adversary for a cushion, meanwhile administering such advice as he deemed appropriate to the occasion. Baffled in this direction, Moody proposed that they fight it out like gentle- men. Accordingly they adjourned to the gym. and punched each otherls 175 faces until the demands of honor were satisfied. No seconds were present, no referee was hired, and no decision rendered. If the condition of Moody's physiognonay for the few days following is any criterion, however, we may con- clude that Rabbits gloves were used to good advantage. The occasion was heartily enjoyed by all present.

Please don't soak mef' For old friendship's sake, leave me out, 'fDon't put anything in on me, old man, etc.,4 etc. And the singular part of it is that the ones who make these pleas are the very ones you have been plan- ning to give especial mention. If you have some choice roast worked up with great care, which you think will be especially appropriate, the victim is sure to approach you and say, 'KI don't care how hard you soak me on anything else, but please don't say anything about i'Imt, -referring of course to the very theme you have developed so carefully. But unfortunately, these requests are too often more forcible. In fact, threats of vengeance of every nature have been hurled without stint. and the editorial we will have to be extended indefinitely if all promises of corporal punishment are fulfilled, It is hoped, however, that all individuals who receive honorable mention will bear in mind the fact that the prominence into which they are brought should serve to offset in some measure the sting involved, and mitigate their revenge accordingly. V Did you ever notice what an uneasy chap that Carl VVitherell is? From his frequent tours of the State one would think he had a life pass over the Maine Central. Still more interesting is the fact that his trips are all in the same general direction. And mark how foxy he is. By a series of Well planned strategic manoeuvres he succeeded in appointing himself manager of the basketball team and arranged an extensive trip of-two games, Rockland and Vinalhaven. The arduous duties of his position required his remaining several days after the team's return. Then he revealed his cunning a second time by adroitly persuading Church to resign as manager of the track team, and securing that position also. We understand that he is trying to arrange another tour with this team, also in the direction of Rockland and Vinalhaven, or possibly N orth Haven. 179 'r The frequency with which he feels called upon to consult medical advice at Portland in regard to his eyes is also interesting. Of course these things may be mere coincidences-we suppose they are-but such actions lay him open to sus- picion, to say the least. Did you ever meet one of those dejected, down-in-the-mouth individuals, who, while still in the prime of life and the full bloom of manly beauty, seem in some unaccountable way to have lost all interest in life, and all ambition for the future? If not, Guy VVilbur Chipman might furnish an interesting' character'study. Qnly a short time ago he was a prime social favorite. The co-ords were tumbling over one another Cfiguratively, of coursej in their efforts to win his smiles and enjoy, if but for one brief moment, his charming conversation. To-day-from the stand- point of co-ordination-he is a social outcast. One by one his fair friends have forsaken him, slowly but steadily his star has been sinking. His lofty spirit, however, was not to be daunted by one rebuff, nor two, nor three: in fact, he persisted in maintaining his position as chief of the co-ord chasers until deliber- ately snubbed by a young lady who attended a reception with him, and was escorted home by another. Then it was that he awoke to the fact of his isolation. Then and there he forswore all association with co-ords, of every shape and com- plexion, and turned his attention to city belles. VV e sympathize with him in his bereavement and assure him of our sincere and heartfelt sorrow. VV e would humbly suggest to the faculty that when they next make an addi- tion to their number, thev take into consideration the peculiar qualifications which render james Henry Hudson especially well fitted for a chair. Of course we shrink from making any odious comparison-s, but we feel called upon to say that he is eminently superior to some of the present incumbents. Wliyf, the way in which he played horse with Dr. Black is evidence enough of that. The doctor rashly ventured to question I-fud's right to arrange the furniture in the recitation-room as he saw fit, whereupon our portly friend promptly left the room. A subsequent conference between the two individuals directly concerned, which began by Dr. Black's demanding an apology and ended by his tendering one, revealed the fact that I-Tudson's ability as a logician and a master of bluff is unsurpassed. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, 'but we caution any roving barbarian against being enticed into the south division of South College. If his Satanic Majesty ever contemplates securing an orchestra for furnishing extraor- dinarily exquisite torture to his suffering subjects, we humbly refer him to this den of agony. If Governor Powers could only stroll through the corridor some day when Brunel, VVorkman and Thyng are forcing diabolical shrieks from their 180 inhuman fiddles, Smut sawing banjo strings, Silas sounding the pitch with the old cracked bell, Simon vainly trying to keep time on his fish horn, Crawshaw work- ing the mouth organ accompaniment and Dearborn drowning out the whole aggre- gation with his clarinet, we think he would make a raid on the place to keep down the running expenses of the Insane Asylum. Say, -girls, are you in it? In what? Why, Cox's army, of course. No freshman co-ord, no matter whatever other charms or attractions, can be in the swim unless a member of this organization. The dues, like the general, are slight, and the period of enlistment short. For full particulars and blank applications send your address to A. Davenport Cox and he will visit you by return male.

Leon G. Safzmders is the first to which your attention is called and to say that he possesses qualifications which render him eminently fit to head the list, would be to put it very, very mildly. If no-t the only thing that ever happened, he is certainly the greatest thing that ever happened. He hails from Massachusetts- from Andover, we'll have you understand-and in consequence- has a wholesome contempt for Maine and all her sons. He is an athlete of extraordinary, superior, uncommon, pre-eminent, surpassing, surprising, astounding, amazing and unques- tioned ability. His social prowess is witnessed by the way in which the fair maidens of the college seek to gain his favor. In general, he may be truly called the warmest article of human merchandise the closing century has produced. Louis Steawzls is an Aroostocrat who has a fairly good opinion of himself, and seems to think all others should do likewise. He is a handsome boy, and has a striking presence. He stands erect,-so erect, in fact, that oftentimes he fails to recognize his acquaintances. He is a great favorite with the ladies, and we have some fears lest too much attention will make the dear boy vain. Robert A. Bakemaiz is custodian of the college morals. So heavily does the burden of his varied tasks rest upon his youthful brain that his head is already bowed,-not forward, as in ordinary cases of premature age, but to one side,- a phenomenon which gives him a distinguished air. Aizgfie Goodwin stands pre-eminent in literary circles as a master of linguistic accuracy. He is 'beyond doubt the highest authority on redundant, tautological, circumlocuitousphraseology since the time of Glidden. To characterize his style of speech as Bostonian would be to fall far short of giving the slightest idea of the verbal precision and extensive polysyllabic vocabulary with which he com- mands the awe of the freshman, the respect of his classmates, the envy of the upper classmen, the worship of the fair sex, and the favor of the faculty. I 183 W'ilIia11zf fosepli Abbott-wliat can we say here to fitly characterize this versatile genius? l!VO1'ClS are inadequate to portray, even feebly, the personality of this important individual who stands first in his class Calphabeticallyj, nrst in his own estimation, and iirst in the hearts of the chain gang. As authority on all matters of general information he has but one superior-Sam. In fact, his moist prominent characteristics are so numerous that space will not allow their enumera- tion. WVe merely offer one suggestion, that is, that all under classmen tip their hats on meeting him, thus showing the respect clue to natural superiority. atm O 184 S. P. S. NI.

Their accuracy establishes the standard by which the accuracy of other rifles is measured. lf a dealer does not keep the Stevens 'tFavorite, he'll probably try to sell you something ' else which he'll say is Has good as the 'Favorite' - but it isn't.
