Doubtless every board has taken up its duties with the same cheerfulness and the same confidence of attaining that desired goal. Doubtless, too, there has been each year the same gradual growth of questioning and hesitation as the time has approached to launch the new cruiser on the uncertain sea which is to receive it, for new rocks present themselves, the land marks change and the climate varies in every season, so that no chart has ever been drafted which would ensure a safe voyage for every ORACLE. Still, despite the possibility that the timber may be weak, the present designers and builders make no apologies, but hope that there may be something in the cargo which shall be of interest to every port into which it may come. To the undergraduates, the faculty, the alumni and the friends of the college, we extend the greetings of the thirty-fifth volume. I 9 Editorial Board. .,.+1. Iidi for-in-Chief.

Tragedy at one moment, comedy the next, melodrama following, with side-dishes of vaudeville have occurred as a continued performance, with no let-up for holidays. Ours has been the strenuous life. As a class we have taken our place in the annals of the college, and it won't soon forget ns. Between ourselves the regulations have been elastic, that is to say, they have been full of snap. It wonldnit be in order to mention the minor affairs which have separated and then united ns. There has always been and always will be a deep, underlying loyalty to the class,-a certain unflagging loyalty to the college. VVe don't advise other classes to follow our foot- steps at every point, but they might well copy our example in many respects. The motto which has hung on our wall, to which our eyes have constantly been turned, in which we have trusted and will trust, is Old Colby, Our Glory ! 18 Class of 1901. WOMEN.

Wfilliam -loseph Abbott, otherwise known as Bill,', is the first representa- tive of his class, inasmuch as his name has stood at the head of the list of members for four years. Very little description of Bill is needed, since every- one who sees him knows him. His facial expression is that fleeting, indescribable thing ascribed to poets Qhe was class poet in the freshman yearl. Bill is a K. K. K., a charter member of the Chain Gang and something of a military character. There have been more 'fdead soldiers .to his credit than to any other man's except that of Sprague. His height is 5 ft. 9 I-2 in. and he weighs considerable. ls a Democrat. VVill study law. Ethan Allen is conspicuous as an athlete and as a model of gracefulness.

'Will be a teacher. Mugwump in politics. P. M. Andrews, or just plain HP. 'The plain doesn't refer to looks nor is it any insinnation as to his stamping grounds.

Alexander Maxwell Blackburn, the chump-faced editor of the Echo, is confi- dential adviser and suggester to Prex. Has a reputation to maintain and has requested that no give-away be published in the Oracle. Needless to say, he is engaged. Is 5 ft. 6 in. in height, dignified and good looking enough to be at the head of the college, a position he intends to hold after a year or two of teaching. Belonged to Y. M. C.

He has never missed a Saturday night call while in college. Intends to be an electrician. Has already shocked most of his friends. Sum Marvell is one of the scientific prodigies of the class. His claim to this honor is the fact that he has been able to collect the dues for the college paper and has retained the same co-ord throughout four years. Won the blue tag at Sidney Fair for deportment. Has an international reputation as presiding officer over the Senior class and has never made a mistake ruling. He will teach sciences Qif he gets a chancej and will issue a monograph on parliamentary pro- cedure under the shotgun method. Jason Leslie Merrill, except Jase, is the principal scientific .luminary of the class. When you see a figure creeping along the path, muttering about bi- fracted polarized rays and making logarithmic signs, you'll know him. That's Jase. For a straight, dry plugging he has no living ekal. jason is a medium- sized youth with blonde curly eyes and blue hair. Used to be engaged. Will teach on the same conditions as Marvell. ls a backslider in politics. Hod', Newenham is too well known to the State at large to require any introduction. When Horace unwinds his six feet of Newenham and delivers the ball over the plate it looks like an electric wire stretching by. Was reported to be engaged, but hasn't shown any serious symptoms lately. Aspires to be a National Leaguer and is a Democrat in politics. Wallace Purington, or Purry, has also a reputation, but the character of this volume will not admit the publication of it Cthereputationj. He will teach altho' he is a Republican. Edgar Burnham.Putnam, otherwise Put,'l holds the college record for sight translation of Greek and for disposing of Virginia cut plug. Is a politician and conservative at that. Is suspected of designs toward the weaker sex as shown by his term-bills. Will study law, is president of the Republican Club and of K. K. K. Eddie Rice is the idol of the woman's division because of his athletic build. While Eddie is perfectly honest, it is reported that he is owin' a little. He is well known to friends of the college. Is a Democrat. Will be a doctor. RalphNVebstah Richards properly comes under this list of celebrities from never having taken the same lady to two consecutive entertainments. He has been obliged to give the clamoring crowd a chance, and so has taken it one by one, in turn. Ralph's personal appearance is a give-away, for no Methodist should carry that rolling gait. He is also a politician, or thinks he is. Is a Democrat and is single. Wants to run the Methodist church. Q Charlie Seaverns is manager of the ball team and is famous as being the greatest literal translator in the class. Is also the owner of a first-class stable with horses of all breeds.

Ever since the ORACLE became recognized as a more or less authoritative compendium of Colby happen- ings, the various class histories contained therein have had one conspicuous characteristic,-self-laudation. But the past few years have shown a gradual tendency intended, not as an example of self-laudatory conceit, toward reform in this direction, and this document is but rather as a model of self-congratulatory modesty, The stream flown which the bark of nineteen-two has had its course. has been a smooth oneg but although the course has been remarkably free from anything to mar the smoothness of our voyage. yet we have been true to the old-time motto, Row, not drift. Our exertions have not been without their rewards, and where other classes have been content to rest on their oars and drift through the pleasant places of their course, we have outstripped them by a little moderate effort. until we hold a position of prominence in all the departments of college activity. ' As an example of our record in college affairs, we may say that during the late presi- dential campaign, the two Colby political clubs were obliged to come to 1902 for seven out of the thirteen oflicers, and at the inter-political club debate, four of the six speakers were juniors. - The junior year has brought us many disappointments and sorrows along with the joys and pleasures. Some of our most respected classmates were not with us at the beginning of the yearg but our loss represents gain elsewhere, for several have joined their fortunes with other classes, and we can only hope that they may make those classes better and stronger for having spent two years of their college course with the class of the -,FPZJ1-Of, fn-fiyrwy, We are inclined to think that the term .limior Ease is a misnomer rather than a realityg yet some of our more aspiring members have found time to elect the collateral course in Sociology, and by especial proficiency in that study, have been admitted to the society of Tri-Kappa. We attribute our successes as a class to the fact that we have ever borne in mind the maxims, A house divided against itself cannot stand, and, In union there is strength. NVe have never allowed internal dissensions to disturb the harmony and unanimity of all our actions. ' We can hardly refrain at this time, from giving expression to our pardonable pride in our position among the classes of Colby. Our past is a memory of glorious achievementg our present is but a brilliant foreshadowing of a still more resplendent future. The Freshmen consider us next in importance to the facultyg the Sophotnores seek our advice in their many perplexitiesg the Seniors come to us for co-operation in conducting their enterprisesg the alumni look confidently to us, to maintain the good name and reputation of old Colby. These facts are capable of but one interpretation-they are indicative of power predom- inant and of popularity unparalleled. 37 Class of 1902. WOMEN.

T was just dusk in the library and the subdued murmur of voices had at length died into silence. The footsteps in the hall had ceased and the heavy out-side door had banged determinately after the last retreating student. I had lingered for a moment behind and sat musing in the twilight, gazing absently at the white busts of Milton and Jupiter and the long shelves of books beyond. Suddenly, however, my revery was interrupted. An old mythology on the opposite table began, as it seemed, to speak, relating what appeared to be a legend. Twenty-one maidens said the mythology, guided by Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, came one day seeking admission to the Halls of Learning. The Olympian jupiter, ruler of Heaven and Earth, smiled kindly upon them and granted them their request. For a year they dwelt there in peace, seeking for knowledge and making merry. Swift flew the winged Hermes to summon the guests to their banquets. Here the reflections of the niythology were rudely interrupted by a M99 Oracle, which sang out insinuatingly, 'WVho'l1 have to change their ways ere long, Who'll have to sing a different song? The Freshmen as Sophomoresi' t'But they didn't do it.'l remarked an Echo near by, I can prove it to you. Novem- ber 6tl1. the class of moz?

And grave 1 indeed were our responsibilities. VVhen, on the s' ..4-EE! A morning of Hrst chapel, we looked for the first E time on that conglomerate mass since known as Q - QE fi f the Freshman class and realized the extreme i ? -m verdancy and childlike innocence of those whom ?7: 'I:5.cL 2 v H A- it was our duty to bring to a realization of the - L - ' ' , stern realities of life, our spirits quailed and our hearts were sore indeed.. But not for long did we thus give up to despair. Straight- way our valiant band donned the war-paint and started on its initial disciplinary tour of the bricks, testing the children's vocal powers and inculcating a sense of the aforesaid stern realities by a judicious use of the festive paddle. But not alone by discipline have we carried on our thankless task. Mercy has tempered our justice, and, believing that clemency is ever due to the weak, we allowed our prote- ges, on the night of the Freshman reception, to take comfort unmolested in the sympathy of their gentle fellow-sufferers. For this the poor things were so relieved and grateful that they drew up a vote of thanks, modeled after resolutions on the death of President Garfield. which was read in chapel before the assembled multitudes. Verily, our hearts were touched. Thus with a hand gentler than in former years have we tried to mold a presentable figure out of the rottenest and most worthless mass of clay ever worked by the hand of man. Yet let it not be imagined that all our thought and energy has been thus, though with good intent, wasted. Many and varied interests have claimed our attention and been benefited thereby. In the classroom, on the athletic Field, in the ranks of K. K. K., the men of 1903 have shown themselves titpw-1-ot Ev 'rch 1r7tv70eT. In the Sophomore class ride,-an occa- sion full of recollections to certain of our number'-we proved ourselves equal to any Cexcepting our fair classmatesj in the ability to entertain, while in return many are the attentions we have received from our-friends. Not always has our path been strewn with roses. Many a cloud has dimmed our far- seeing vision. Members have dropped from our ranksg our fiddler, the erstwhile pride and example of the woman haters, has been lost in the meshes of K. K., and many a head has swelled to the point of spontaneous combustion, scattering wheels and disaster in its path. But in spite of all internal tragedies and external comedies we have ever maintained the dignity and influence of the Sophomoric position and upheld the name of the glorious class of Nineteen-Three-and may the Lord help our successors! 42 Class of 1903. 1.-+..i WOMEN.

HAH the world's a stage, you know, and the class of 1902 were booked for a four act drama, each act covering a period of one year. In the first act-the freshman year-the parts were fairly well taken, yet the actors were not quite at ease, being 'tnewf' interpreted by the upper classwomen, fresh Much sport was derived from the funny parts by both actors and spectators, for life would not be worth the living were it not for some rippling rills of laughter interwoven in its somber groundwork. Our star actor in this part was Spudgie and we couldn't live without her. Then our soubrette, or rather two soubrettes, who appeared under the names of Cliss and Fliss. Cliss was dark, very dark, dashing, and- mashing. Fliss was also dark, petite and pretty, and would capture a heart with a rush. There were other dark girls, Mabel the grand, Margaret the great, june the good, Martha the wit, and so on. And light girls, too,-in complexion and heart-gave joy and gladness to our drama. Queen Bess, Bickie, Bert, Gracie, and others. In short there were girls and girls and the play went on with its usual quota of tears, dears, and fears, excellents, very goods, and zeros, its feasts, parties, rides, and spreads Thus the Hrst act ended, with the greatest good-will and loyalty toward alumni and alumnae, faculty and student body, college and city. Then came the second act,-the sophomore year-but all who took part in the first did not appear in the second, much to the regret of those who remained. At the beginning oi this year we find the actors in some sort of conspiracy against the freshman class, What it was, none but themselves and the freshmen know, to this date. Nevertheless, it is certain that they received a good scolding from the management for it. In this as in the c former act, we see feasts and other celebrations.

But no, cruel destiny disappointed them, for, as Prexy looked them over, tears came into his eyes and he murmured iivvllilli have I done to merit that such a collection be thrust upon me? Indeed, before the close of the irst term he decided to resign his position. From the seats of the Seniors could be heard lfVhat a fitting climax for the living wonders of the nineteenth century! Thus they became stamped as a negative quantity. Before the close of this first exercise, however, there began to be signs of intelligence in the class. The vacant grin disappeared and after a few withering glances from the seats near by each head was bowed in solemn reverence. Thus ended the most important period in their history. The thirst for knowledge exhibited by these hopelessly deluded beings was, indeed, pitiable. They stopped everyone they met and stormed him with questions. 'fS'pose youlr a Freshman same's I be. Got all yer books ?' Say, know anything 'bout this Glee Club, could I anford to join it? Had I better join Phi Beta Kappa this term? Their efforts seemed to be rewarded for they soon allowed people to pass them in peace and under the uplifting influence of four strong men in the Sophomore class and impressions at the hand of other members many of their misleading tendencies disappeared. At the beginning of 'the second term, as they came straggling into Latin one day late the infallible Indy asked VVhy are you late, did you want another day of Grace? Each Freshman thought of a different girl, and one replied that that wasn't the name, he guessed. This apparent devotion, nevertheless. was not strong enough to resist the temp- tation that the co-ords daily set before them, for we soon find them making regular and frequent visits at Dunn House and Ladies' Hall. This was a very natural mistake on their part and one that was made by better men than they can hope to be before they add a few years to their experience and history. Wfith this one fault their general course seems to be onward. If they Lock-heart and Soul to lofty Aims and resist the Flood of discoui-agement there is abundant hope for them. 46 Class of 1904.

Porter Freshman History. WOMEN. short time ago I was visiting a friend in Colby College. I arrived the eve ZW, before Halloween, that night of fortunes and mysteries. My friend told CC,-ji t me that her class was to give a party to a lot of little children the next night. I like children and so gladly helped her prepare for the party. On the following evening at about eight the little ones began to arrive, many of them accompanied by nurses. My friend passing me hurriedly to see that the games, dolls, blocks, etc., were all in order, and ready for the children, stopped to whisper the words, Dont be at all surprised if you find the most of them very obstinate and conceited. They are nice children but have not had proper training yet. Then with a quick glance around and a very low Whisper, They will get it soon. In a few moments the rooms were filled with daintily dressed children, romping about, hugging dolls, building block-houses, looking at picturebooks, munching candy and corn- balls. - I could not help noticing the characteristic my friend spoke of. Very few seemed shy or timid, They skipped about with a self-satisiied air seeming to say Look at me, look at my gown, did you ever see anything quite so cute? Looking about the room my glance at last rested upon a bright-eyed child in one corner. Crossing to her side, I sat down and said, VVell. my dear, how does it happen that the College girls are interested in so many of yon? The child looked up, her eyes wide open with astonishment, Oh my, she exclaimed, don't you know, we are the Freshman class, the class of IQ04, or 51 large part of it anyway? There are a few boys. Ah! I said surprisec' in :ny turn, i'.Do tell me about your class. She looked at me a moment and questioned, f'You are not a Sophomore. You are never coming to Colby? Being reas- sured she said, The Sophomores make fun of , . us and we think it is just horrid in them. We , ' have the very best class that ever came to Colby. I think there are more girls than boys, just as many, anyway.. I have heard that Freshmen are -124 , 1- A-41' .,T' generally afraid at tirst chapel and terribly flip! til green, ,but we Weren't a bit. VVhen we Walked K! ' in, we held our heads up just as high as We ' I tl' I' iff' could get them and not one of us Wore anything 4 l- vfgr X I green. VVhy! some of the girls even had a 67 Y sw. ,xx la'-ne' neck the next day they held their heads i . t so high. I ' . l X l, . The Hrst good time we had together was . d our peanut-drunk. 'We did think that we had a-:- kept it so quiet and the Sophomores Wouldn't z fp.- ' N'- 4 know anything about it until it was over. But .N 13 ' after we were all together at one of the little - 'I -' girl's houses, here in lfVaterville, we heard a Z-'F-ef - M.,-1:-ia- frightful noise outside, just like the roaring of lions in a circus and there were those terrible 48 Sophomores. We hurried and shut all the windows and locked them and held the door just as hard as we could. After awhile they went away but we were so trightened, it quite spoiled everything. Wie were afraid to go home, too, because we just knew they would do something awful to us. 'We like the College and have lots of fun. The Sophomores are good to us sometimes, like to-night ftaking a bite from a corn-ballj. Pretty soon we are going to give the boys in our class a big party. 'We hope they will be real nice to us after that. Some of them have paid quite a lot of attention to us now, but others don't seem to care for us. I think they will get over that pretty soon. VVe are so attractive they ean't help liking us, do you think they C21l1?U I assured the child that I thought they would have success, and inducing her to join in a game of blind-man7s'buH went out to Gnd my friend. -Q f u , ' , 'ra W, M572 0 , . we V Q 1 . , -3 X i If 'R Q, 1 E If .. 49 A Phi, Theta, Xl, Sigma, Gamma, Psi, Upsilon, Chi, Beta, Eta, Kappa, Lambda, Pi Iota, Alpha Alpha, Omicron, Epsilon, Rho, Tau, Mu, Nu, Beta Phi, 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 Kappa Tau Alpha, Delta Kappa Epsilon.

HEODGRE EVERETT MANN entered Colby with the class of f 1902, but was compelled to leave college on account of trouble with his eyes, and stayed out one year. During the fall term of the f., present year he came back and immediately entered upon his work. In addition to his regular work, Mr. Mann applied himself to 5 making up back work with the intention of taking his place in his former class. He also learned to play the mandolin and was elected a member of the club and of the Glee Club. going on the first concert trip. The work proved too heavy, and, in spite of his indomitable will, he was overtaken by an attack of fever and was stricken down. Mr. Mann was a member of the second and class ball teams in his irst year, played on the second football and class elevens, was a member of the musical clubs mentioned and ranked high in scholarship in his class. He intended to enter the ministry. The members of the college are united in expressing sorrow at their loss, in testifying to the Christian excellence of his character, and to the brilliant example of industry, ambition and determination furnished in his life, and will hold him in grateful memory. 151 CL?-YIQK WELLS CHAlVlI3EI?LAIN,A. B. 1 64, G make popular a course in a branch of science in a literary ' we college is an achievement which does not too frequently fall to 'E the lot of an instructor, but this has been accomplished by the .59 present professor in Physics and Astronomy. Mr. Chamberlain came to Colby at the beginning of the college year and has so s' endeared himself to the undergraduate body that his courses are well termed popular. V Professor Chamberlain was born in Ohio, on the Wfestern Reserve, in 187o. During the year 1887 he taught in the public schools of that state, and began preparation for college the following year at Doane Academy, Granville, O. In 1890 he entered Dennison University, from which he was graduated in 1894. Wliile in college, Mr. Chamberlain tool: the classical course to obtain as broad a foundation as possible for the scientific course to be entered upon later. Upon graduation Mr. Chamberlain acted as instructor in Physics and Mathematics in the XlVCSfCl'1'l Reserve Academy from 1894 to 1897 and resigned to pursue graduate work at the University of Chicago. In 1899 he was offered a fellowship in that university and also the Vlfhiting fellowship at Harvard for his investigation on the radius of molecular attraction and on a proposed method for measuring the relative motion between the earth and ether. He chose the 152 fellowship at Chicago, thinking it best to take his degree from the university where the preliminary study had been made. Mr. Chamberlain planned to 'take his degree of Ph. D. in the summer of 1900 before coming to Colby, but a severe and protracted illness prevented and he came directly to Vtfaterville at the opening of the year. In addition to his work as a physicist, Mr. Chamberlain brings with him an enviable reputation as a debater and speaker. During his course in college he competed in no less than seventeen contests, fifteen of which he won. In 1894 he was the representative of his college in the Ghio state oratorical contest in which ten colleges were represented. In this contest he won Erst place on thought and composition and second on delivery. He was sent, at the expense of his college, to the University of Michigan for oratorical training under Prof. Trueblood, and was alternate from Ohio in the Interstate Oratorical Contest at Indianapolis, in which -ten states were represented. VVhile in college he was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. On December 27, IQOO, lVl.r. Chamberlain was married to Miss Jessie I. Husted of Norwalk, O., a graduate of Shepardson College, '97. Mrs. Chamber- lain has already won a host of friends by her charming personality. The students of Colby are unanimous in the expression of welcome and loyalty to the present head of the Physics department, who has, by his marked ability, given rise to the hope that his connection with the college may be permanent. u ' 5 . 1, a t ,W 5 -1 ,, .Y fa kg? iigfyl' Il '41 '- ' V e 1' -- 153 One Little Word. First Prize. , A L X .. l.,,,g I-IE waters of the placid Messalonskee' rippled gently in the breezy b m' stillness of a pleasant afternoon in june. Over the brow of the QSQI N ' hill, and down the road toward the old bridge, walked two men, arm in arm. ' The taller of the two was a man of scholarly appearance and gave one the impression that he was a busy man of the worldg the other smoked his cigar more leisurely and appeared more methodical in his actions. The very lines of his face showed the keen and analytic mind of a student of the lawk As they neared the stream the man with the legal air became absorbed in reflection, while his companion continued the conversation. Yes, judge, there has been many changes during the fifteen years since we were students at Colby, and our class reunion this evening will bring to mind many absent faces. I often think of the old days and have tried to plan to come back at every Commencement, but have not found such a pleasure possible until this year. And I can see how you, with your rapidly increasing professional duties, have not been able to be here before. But,-great heavens, Judge! why are you so melancholy just now? Does the old Messalonskee bring up tender recollections ? Yes, Eaton, it doesg and I don't mind telling you a story,-that is, if you care to listen. Perhaps it '.von't interest you, but maybe I shall feel better after I have told itfl Eaton begged for the story and the Judge continued: It was Commencement week at the best old college in the country and the best old class in existence was about to go out into the world. The evening before graduation, a boat named the 'Gypsyf drifted slowly down the old stream yonder. I was seated in the stern with a girl by my side and we were talking of the morrow when we should' receive our diplomas. Alice and I had long been good friends, and I had been more than that, but we had quarrelled some time before, and I had allowed my pride to prevent me from giving expression to 'my love. Alice had assumed my coldness to be real and had become intimate with another classmate and for a long time past they had made no secret of the fact that there was an understanding between them. As we drifted down the stream together on that bright june evening, she showed a charming frankness in explaining why she could not answer my 154 foolishly-delayed proposal, because on the very next evening she had an appoint- ment 'with my friend,-and rival. But she encouraged me by promising to think hard during the next day and, someway, I imagined that she was 'a bit more cheerful thaniusual when she said, 'Now I shall 'be in this very boat tomorrow evening and will leave you my answer, yes or no, on a slip of paper and will place it in this little hollow under this seat where we have so often left those little notes for each other., 1'The next evening I was lingering near the boat-house when my two class- mates returned from their boat-ride and, before they had gone far up the hill, I was eagerly making my way to secure the promised missive from its hiding- place under the seat. I Eaton, you know the rest of my story, for you were the one who won her from me and then for some remon refused to marry her- Stop, my friend! interrupted Eaton, I did not marry her, because on that very night she refused to promise to marry meg but, Judge, this brings up memories I had nearly forgotten. IV hy this mystery? Why two refusals-you say she refused you? Q Yes Vtlhat I found for my answer was only a cigar case,-intended, no doubt, as an emblem of bachelor-hood. She knew that I loved to smoke, and perhaps she sincerely believed I might be able to stifle my love for her by the curling smoke from a rich I-Iavana. At any rate, I interpreted her meaning and thrust the case back into the very spot' where she had laid it.', See, pointing to a low posted, somewhat weather-beaten house on the bank, the old boat-house still stands,--I would like to go into it again. They turn their steps toward the house and enter it. And there is the iden- tical boat of long ago, the same old 'Gypsy' Eaton, I wronder if, after all this time+,', and he concluded with a quick step to the old boat and a thrust of his hand beneath and up under the shelving seat. Slowly, methodically, with a face somewhat paled, and a hand a trifle tremb- ling, he drew out a little leather colored case, gently tapped it to shake off the clinging dust and cobwebsg as he did so he looked away, out the door, and up the gently flowing s-treamg as he looked away, a tiny slip of time-yellowed paper, dropped from between the edges of the cigar case and tluttered gently to the floor, The tall man stooped for just a second to read it and his face became pale, too. Slowly, without a word, the pair left the boat-house, and made their way back toward the campus and the college. As they walked over the brow of the hill, each turned to glance back at the old Messalonskee and the eyels of 'both were filled with tears. But only one of them knew the secret of a little slip of paper upon which had been written simply one little word. That little -word was Yes A. L. GOODWIN, iO2. 155 The Greatest Love. First Prize.

Second Prize. .lL!.T Far in the depth of a forest where all clay long one hears only the soft tinkle of waters, the luiling murmur of the pines and the gentle chirping of birds, where the moss is so thick that one's foot scarcely feels the ground beneath, and where one who knowsithe beauty of the place can feel the peace which comes from a perfect love fo-r nature and nature's God, a little stream starts on its way. It is merely a drop that bubbles softly and reluctantly up from beneath a huge boulder, as if loath to leave its great protector, and Hows slowly off winding as a silver thread around the tree-trunks in a caressing manner, seeming to say, Let me bathe your roots and refresh you, that you may the better murmur your lullabies to the Houfersf' This little stream does not stay long to talk with its friends of the forest, but quickening its movements hurries along over rocks and around thickets, under low-arched bramlbles and about great precipices, now and then staying its course to kiss some drooping flower or moisten some sun-parched shrub. Sometimes it dances in the sunshine, sparkling with a thousand little jewels, reflecting a thousand little rays, or glides softly in the shadow, rippling olut again between banks lined with rushes and tall grasses, by fields white with the daisy or golden with the buttercup. At last it flows calmly by SOIUC high cliff, under overhanging trees, and near delightfully cool and inviting shores. But it is never quiet, even in its quietest moments, even when its surface is unbroken, down beneath it all the current Flows and carriesit along unresistingly. The boy who by chance wanders there, restless, active, full of strength and vigor, always used to the boisterous dash and force of the ocean, cannot understand the quiet ways of the stream. He is thinking of his life and wondering if it will be as peaceful and as uneventful as that of this rivulet. Almost without knowing it he is talking,- So still, not even the splash, splash of the waves upon the stones. Wfhy, old ocean in its calmest moods would drown all your sweet babblings, you little stream, in your most impetuous moments. I wonder are you contented with this kind of an existence, simply to How on and on in gentle fashion, never doing for the world any great good? If only you were a lake or a river, or even a pond, you might accomplish some- thing, but now you do so little, pretty, prattling rivulet. T57 Hark! Is the little rivulet talking, or is it only its silvery laughter that is wafted upward by the summer breeze? Sweetly, softly, like the melody of the birds and the murmuring zephyrs, the stream is talking. XVould you know the secret hidden deep down in my bosom, the secret that I have not even whispered to the trees or breathed to the grasses, the deep secret of my peaceful, quiet life? Lay your head close down by my side and let me tell it to you. Closer, closer, or you will not hear it. Listen! A long time ago, before this land was what it now is, when the forests were everywhere and the flowers covered the ground, when the birds carolled above me with never a thought of fear, when the frightened deer and timid fawn came to drink of my waters, there lived away in the dephs of the woods an old warrior and his child. Bold and brave, with the prowess and daring spirit of his Indian fore- fathers, he had made his home in the heart of the forest that he might be free, free to live his life as in the time before so much of his hunting ground had been laid waste by men from over the sea. So he had withdrawn with his daughter away from the great strong rivers, away from the cities, away from the noise and bustle to this quiet place where the greatest noise was that of my making. Do you think I was always quiet and peaceful, calm and placid as now. NO! The time was when I rushed and roared onwfard with furious force, making the echoes resound and splashing the rocks with tiny, waves, trying to maike Llp, if possible, for the might of the great rivers which I lacked and angry because it was denied me. Many times came the maiden and the father to my side, talking of their past life, their happiness now and of what the future might bring, never dreaming that I in my wrath could harm them. The little stream stopped a moment as if vainly striving to recall, and yet to forget, some sad memory. At last it ran on: Une day-I can never forget it-in the morning I came tumbling, rumbling, grumbling down the sides of the cliff, only wishing to harm something that I might get the terrible rage and anger out of my breast, for the day before I had heard the old warrior say that I could never doanything but rush along over the stones. O, I became mad at this and looking away up the clilf I caught the glimmer of something white coming nearer and yet nearer. It was the child, the pet, the darling, the idol of this warrior. She was Hitting about among the trees like some fairy. I-IowI loved her! Ah! Iwould have my revenge. Ars' she came to-ward me, I talked to her, coaxed her, enticed her with all my charms, saying that I had secrets to whisper in her ear and she must needs come close or she- would lose them. I even became quite calm and gentle, and slowly, shyly, yet surely she came to me, conhdingly, trustingly, almost breaking my resolve with her 158 winning smile. No! she must be mine, she wins! be mine. I gently caressed her, moistening her glowing cheeks, sprinkling her lovely hair, ever drawing her closer, closer, closer, until at last with one overwhelming impulse I 'threw my arms about her, drawing clown, down to my cold embrace, exulting with Hendish delight at the thing w-hich I had done. O, boy, do you wonder how I can be so calm about it? The father came, calling, shouting, seeking for his pet, striding forward with huge steps. Ah! I seem to see him now as he found her dead, dead on my bosom. Never have I seen a look of such sorrow, such agony, such passion. I-Iis form seemed to grow and grow and his arms extended as if to 'encompass me. Brave though I was, I hushed my foolish boasting, stilled by a fear I knew not what. The silence was unbroken until, after ages as it seemed to me, out-of the dreadful stillness, with a sound as of a mighty heart rent with grief and pain and agony, this prayer came forth:- 'O Thou Great Spirit! Thou who rulest everything with Thy to-uch, who calmest everything with Thy breath, Thou who understandest all things and takest all things back to Thyself in Thine own good time, be Thou'near me. Still the awful anger and hate and passion in my soul. Q! keep me from calling anything that Thou hast made. accurscd. .Help me, sustain me in this my hour of trial. May I forgive as Thou dost forgive, and 0, if it can be, free me, Great Spirit, from this awful thingl' . I-Iis voice ceased wlith a sobbing sound and I, looking up, saw the warrior no more, but instead, this gigantic cliH which towers ever and always above me, holding me close to itself, allowing me, when in its presence, no moment to free myself from the thought of my wickedness. The soft to-nes almost died away, as if the stream was overcome with its sad thoughts. The breezes murmured gently. the grasses sighed, the birds hushed their warbling, when suddenly from beneath a cloud the last rays of the sun dying in the west kissed the stream with loving touch. Then cheered, it finished its tale. If you follow me in my course, you will see that I am not always sad and quiet as here, but sometimes smiling and gay Q sometimes even rushing and leaping along, but never in the same way as formerly. The lesson I have learned by heart, the struggle, at so great a cost, has taught me much. Now I use the strength I have to nourish the flowers and trees, to give refreshment to all who need it and pleasure to the many people who come to Hoat on my surface. Do you think they would be afraid of me if they knew my, secret? Do you think they would not love me? For O! so many do love me now. They come in the sunshine and in the moonlight to glide gently over my bosom, dreaming and talking of happy things. 159 Only, just here in this spot every one seems to become more quiet, as if hushed by the silence 5 ihen I feel my secret is known and I start to- rush onward in rage as before, but there above me towers the cliff and at the remembrance ot the great act of forgiveness I am quieted, calmed as you see me. The boy arose softly and went away wondering if he, too, might not learn a lesson from the old warrior, asking himself if he could learn it as well as had the rivulet, resolving that no more would he question the use of anything that God has made. Years after, an old man with the joy of peace and happiness on his serene countenance came to visit the stream, to sit by its side once more and listen to its babblings. - Had he learned to love this stream? Had its secret helped him? Is there need of asking? EVA E. CLEMENT. 160 College Spirit. l.TX..i... The college was going to' the bow-wows. That fact was very plain to Smith as he sat tilted back in his chair, his feet on the table and his eyes turned unseeingly toward the window. Hang it, what was the use, anyway P Here was everything in a muddle, everything was down on its luck, there was no redeeming feature in sight, no, not one. Here was the football team, beaten in three successive games, the debate had failed to materialize because of lack of contestants and general interest, the fellows didn't care a rap whether the old college got anywhere or not. Then there were the co-ords. They didn't bother him much, but some of the boys seemed to have their time and attention taken up in that direction, to the exclusion of all other interests, and the consequence was that nobody was trying for the team, the Glee Club was poorly supported, there didn't seem to be any material for a track team in the spring and it certainly looked bad. Then, too, there was the class scrap. The class had met and tried to elect officers for the year, but instead of selecting the best man for the place, the frats had combined into sections and each was trying to outdo the other, with the result that meeting after meeting had been held without hlling the principal ofhces. He didn't care about an ofhce himself, though of course his folks would like to hear that he had been honored, but he teozfla' like to see merit win. This competition, or rather, dirty politics, had crept in to destroy class unity and to leave a nasty taste in everybody's mouth. Certain members of the class barely spoke to certain other members even now. And finally, the faculty seemed to have entirely disregarded the interests of the institution and had been crowding the boys in every department. Some- one got scored every day for doing poor work, when it was evident that no mortal. man could do the assigned work and keep up his support of the various organizations which were conceded by the faculty, trustees and friends to be essential to the growth of the college. On the whole, a pretty gloomy situation. Vifhy had he come to Colby, anyway? He might easily have gone to any other college if he'd said the word, but his father had graduated from here and had wished his son to do so. Filial love had fixed his, choice upon this place and here it was time wasted-almost. He had learned something, he hoped, but, blame it all, what was that when there was no college spirit? 16x Smith reached this conclusion with a bang on the table, got up, kicked over a chair. snatched his cap and went out to cool ol? 'and to see if anyone had heard from the game being played at Brunswick, Of course Col-by was beaten. How could it be otherwise? Out of doors. he walked swiftly, with head down, passing several men with a mere grunt, turned and went down the old path between the willows, up along the river walk where he had walked that first Sunday when a Fresh- man, and toward the upper falls. How different from that lirst walk, when the newness, the uncertainty, the delight at being a real college man and y,et the fear that he might not get on well! His mind went back to the hom-rush, the tight with the Sophs on the campus, in which 'he had been at the front and had been cheered by the class, the Freshman Reading, where he had captured the VVar Crys, and the next year when he had helped to distribute them after having, with the rest of the class, removed every poster announcing that audacious reading. That year the class had been together and there was college spirit to burn. Then the Junior year had been all right, too. That class supper at the Yates Mansion, the Prom, the swellest yet, the victorious teams and all! By this time he had reached the falls and had stopped to listen to the roar of the water and to watch the spray leap high up on the banks. It seemed as if this rush and confusion below was emblematic of the present condition of things. But the steady beat ot the water soothed him somewhat and he turned back toward the Bricks with a long, weary breath. It was slightly dusk and, as he came down the path, he looked up toward the dormitories where every window was filled with light. He lookedithrough the cool trees toward the gray chapel upon whose stone walls. the bare ivy vines made a delicate laceworkg toward the Chemical laboratory where he had passed so many hours which, after all, were not unpleasant. As he: came up by old South, he was overtaken by Dr. Brown, who stopped him a moment, inquiring after his welfare in such an interested manner that he was almost ashamed of his thoughts of an hour ago, And when, at parting, the Doctor said, f'Smith, you've been doing good work this yfear, Tm glad to sayf' Smith felt better. Just then there was a ery over toward the North, he heard the old Colby yell given with a snap, followed by, 'LHullabaloo, hooray, hooray, Colby, Colby, won today, and he forgot everything but to ask the score. Then the bell pealed out the good news, the boys assembled in chapel, the parade was planned, he was called upon for a speech and was appointed leader of the celebration. Everybody slapped everybody else on the back and laughed as he asked, Wliat's the matter with our team? 162 The parade had been a success. Every professor had -been called out and had responded with a hearty speech of congratulation and had been applauded. The fireworks and the 'big' bonfire had been the best since he had been in college and at the end, just before the crowd had broken' up, someone had asked, lfVhat's the matter with Colby? and he, with his cap in one hand and a tin horn in the other, had responded with the crowd, Shes all right, VVho says so? Everybody says so. W'ho is everybody? C-0-L-B-Y, rah, rah, rah, C-Q-L-B-Y, rah, rah, rah, C-0-L-'B-Y, rah. rah, rah. And as he ran up into his room, two steps at a tinxe, he was sure that the old place was all right, that he had been led by Providence to this college, that the boys were all right, that the faculty was all right, that there wasn't a thing the matter with the whole universe and that the old college spirit wasn't dead, by a long shot. A r - i f I . - 1'-,. 163 The Love of a Friend. ii,!,,,. He's tired out and half sick! lt's positively inhuman to send him to the hotel tonight! He was booked to room with Bliss. They, ought to have sent that stranger outside, not leave a fellow that's come as far as he has, and been obliged to come late for the reasons that he has, out in the cold. It's a shame! Gradually the members of the reading room turned their attention to the speaker, a frank, outspoken fellow whose sympathy for the unfortunate was heartfelt.

See here, you chaps! Illl look after your missionary grampus for a day or two if you say so! I guess I can stand it, if he's willing to try it-probably he won't be if he's dutifully warned. i I-I-you're awfully good, Caxton, but- Never mind! I-Ie probably would rather go to the hotel! You'd better warn him with the rest of the freshies, Morris, to wear a moral protector when I'1'I1 about-a little bag of texts-a sort of religious camphor, you know lu Hlient Cax-ton! Morris, cheeks were crimson now. 'II never was guilty of such a thing, and it is good of you to offer this, if you really mean it-which I didn't suppose you did. 'W ill you come down stairs and meet Mr. Kane Ev' The boys held their breath. Wfhat was Jack Morris thinking of P But jack Morris builded 'better than he knew. 164 llfleantime, below stairs, a very weary, homesick boy waited. A boy fresh from a loved father's death-bed, one who had just bidden farewell to a mourning mother and sister, a boy, from a true home, pure in body and soul. The Young face was almost classical in its refinement and reflected the strength within. But he was no prodigy, this boy. His powers were under a cloud, his aching brows were wrinkled, his mouth drooped, a red spot burned in either cheek and his thoughts were none the sweetest. ' Steps were audible on the uncarpeted stairway and two people entered, his escort and a new-comer. Kane, Iackls pleasant voice was saying, this is Caxton, one of our Lambda,'Kappa men, whois going to take you home with him until we get you placed. I'll see Prof. james iust as soon as the registrar opens Monday. Kane rose to clasp a hand warm and Erin, but which, for some reason, seemed to withhold it's welcome. The new-comer said nothing but his steady, questioning glance embarrassed Arthur not a little. Finishing his scrutiny he picked up the suit case at Arthur's feet and Arthur, dumbly realizing that he was expected to follow, went out with a fellow about whom he had noticed but two points-a bitter mouth and hard eyes. ' It was a chill, windy night in early November and they buffeted against the wind in silence. A few moments' walk brought them to a fine-looking building, flooded with light. Arthur felt iabashed in the elegant, finely lighted hall, and the curious eyes of the fellows coming and going seemed to burn through him as he went up stairs. His companion unlocked his door and stood aside for him to enter. It was perfectly dark, but a wave of hot, scented air struck him in the face, some- thing alive brushedby his legs and a dog's sharp bark greeted him. Down, Blix, down! commanded his escort and just then, stepping beyond him, he touched the button and the lights sprang up. You finds me just as I am,f' his host said bitterly. I didn't Hy around and straighten out for you! Hypocrites are comfortable, but I'm-well-not. He closed the door and pushing the dog away invited Arthur to make himself at home. If Arthur had gone to the lower world on a visit and the ruler had thus admonished him he could not have felt any less inclined. A terrible wave of homesickness engulfed him-his head throbbed painfully. The great room with its heavy, sickening odor began to whirl around him. The floor flew up to meet him and struck him, crushing all the life out of him. He became dimly conscious of a rush of cold air-of a hand very tender laying back his hair with fragrant waters and a gentle voice, You poor chap! A 165 Here, drink this. T11 is was strong and pungent, but he was too weak to resist. Presently he felt better and tried to sit up. but, though the great windows were open, the atmosphere seemed suffocating and l1is mouth and throat were burning up. Kent Caxton looked at him perplexed, and then took decisive action. But when he returned with the doctor he found the fellow he had left with Arthur scarcely able to hold him-he was raving in wild delirium, living over the sad scenes of the past few months. The worn-out body and overtaxed mind had given way and the boy lay in the relentless grip of the fever-fiend. Then Kent Caxton surprised his classmates. He turned his elegant rooms into a hospital and constituted himself a nurse. Night and day he watched unremittingly over Arlhurg every day he wrote encouraging letters to that far- away mother and sister, for he had learned Arthurs history and he felt they had suffered enough. As Arthur struggled back to life he waited on him like a slave. Vlfhat were his thoughts as he saw the boy's pure life stretched out before him, when he heard all its pitiful secrets, all its struggles from his wild ravings? lf an outraged conscience scourged his soul he never showed it, though his face grew sharp and thin from his watches. ' Kent Caxton's was a strange history. A fellow of brilliant prospects and kingly spirit, he entered college. He was a favorite with everyone, but his moral laxity-partly perhaps an inheritance----was apparent. 'He was thoughtless and careless, but, young as he was, he loved wine and wlomen, horses and cards. He was so brilliant that at first they overlooked and condoned. He went into the fast set-forbidden fruit-a scrape-suspension-and he vanished for a year. He came back, for it was one of the stipulations of his father's will. He was cut by the best fellows and plunged deeper yet. Still he was popular as such a man can be negatively popular. He was an athlete, he was wealthy, his intellect was of no common order, and many a fellow, who would glory in his work on the football team, apply to him for subscriptions, and accept his mental help, would have hesitated about walking the street with him. He looked upon these good boys with a sort of scorn, made them the 'butt of his most stinging sarcasms and yet remained, in the bottom of many a heart, a veiled, unburied, but powerful idol. But he was human, and his desire for something to love besides his faithful tan terrier had tempted him to take in the stranger, and it was this pent-up lcnging that made him serve him. It was a chill day in December. Arthur, very pale and weak, was reclining in a great chair when Kent came in, bringing a breath of crisp, cold air with him. 'iCarl I-lilton's roommate has gone home on account of his eyes and Carl says he considers you booked as his future better half! Wlieia do you want to move ? ' 166 Oh, any time! I'm sorry I'ye troubled you so long. You're not poor- money can't pay you-nothing can-Qbut I never shall forget what you'ye done for me, and as long as 'I live, whatever--no matter what comes, I shall always stand your friend. 'No, you wotnlt, old fellow! You know just what I am and a fellow of your stamp is better off to let one of mine alone. I'ye done this because I wanted to-wanted to come in close contact with a human being that was honorable, just once more, and I've grown fond of you. A fellow couldn't help it! I w'ouldn't turn you out for the world! I thought while you were sick there, 'I'll do my best by him 'and he'll o-we me a good deal-then he-'ll stay and room with me'-but Ilye come to my senses! I know you can't do it. Carl I-Iilton is a nice fellow and- See here. Caxton! I'm going to stay with you-that is. unless you put me out on the street. Botheration! Don't you get any sentimental ideas into your head! HI won't. but 1.111 going to room with you just the same ! Now, Arthur Kane, be sensible. I will, if you willf, Now stop fooling! If you wish to be ostracize-il, left to my class that you :lon't want anything to do with and pushed out of everything you'd like to work into, just stay here! No! I won't let you be a fool. VVhat do I want of you, my innocent? Nothing. W'hy, my dear child, I should be grey-headed i11 a week, if I had to guard that conscience of yours! No, my boy, you go your way, be a dear little Christian, and let me be a sinner in peacefi The boy's tone was bitter and he flung his handsome head haughtily. He felt a weak hand on his shoulder and he looked into two unliinching blue eyes. You donlt mean that, Kent. you know you don't, and the arm came around his neck. The two young heads, the light and the dark, wfere very close together and a broken voice said, No, I don't, Arthur! If you will stay with me-Uh, how thankful I am! 77 ' So the compact was made and, to the amazement of everyone, the mission- aryis son stayed with Kent Caxton. Kent's prophecies were not, to any great extent, true. Arthur found everything very much as he expected it, although they regarded him with great wonderment. It made a difference in himself- there was a tempting intoxication about the freedom of Ken't's ways. But he had pure principles behind him, a mother and sister to love. and Kent watched him jealously. Une night in a jolly crowd of college boys Arthur strayed into a very questionable place of amusement, and, while he was there, Kent came in. Very soon Kent souffht his side and remarked carelessl f'I'm Cfoinff home Art as X Y: Zh e, 1 f 167 coming now? and Arthur went. Not a word did Kent say until they were in their own rooms. then taking Arthur by the shoulders he said sternly, Dont you c-vcr, as long as you live, go into such a hole again. You understand ! Arthur was rebellious-not that he cared for the amusement-but the command stung. You've no right to command me ! See here, my little Freshman! You neednlt question the right, just you mind. Good gracious! I can't have two murdered consciences to answer for. You go to bed and mind your elders, the Seniors. And Arthur did. All that year they lived together, vacations and all. Arthurls home was too far away even for the longer winter vacations and Kent had none. But when the long summer vacation came, Arthur persuaded Kent to go 'home with him. V ery reluctantly he went, yet drawn by an irresistible fascination. It was like a dream! The motherless boy had never' felt the mother touch until Arthur's mother stretched out herlloving hand. It was as if the arm of God had reached down to the wanderer through these simple people. The bitterness seemed to grow out of his face and the boyish life ebb back. Perhaps Mrs. Kane read more in that face than she ever told, but she was infinitely gentle with him and, being a wise mother, she asked her boy no questions. The bright summer of constant companionship was nearly gone. Arthur would soon go back to college, Kent-he did not know where. They talked of it, one night, sitting out on the piazza, and Kent deplored his lack of future plans. Gently, without personality, Mrs. Kane talked of the good the man who could and would, might do. New ambitions seemed to touch Kent Caxton. VV hen he rose to say good night he held her hand a moment- I have never done any good in the world, and Oh! so much wrong. Perhaps l can make atonement. l am going to try. May l kiss you-Mother? and he reverently touched her forehead, The next afternoon Arthur and Kent went over to a neighboring town to go over the great hotel, there being built for summer guests. Five stories it had been raised and still the workmen were at work. Arthur knew the promoters and so the two rummaged on to their heart's content. Up at the fifth story, as they started out on so-me staging to overlook the view, a -workman called, I wouldn't go out there, boys-thev've started to pull it down, and it isn't safef, The scaffold looked firm enough and Kent remarked, Come on, Art, we're light, As they stood looking across the pleasant panorama stretched before them, the wood beneath their feet moved, and a part of the trellis work and several planks fell, cutting off their return.

VVith the close of the present year Colby will have fairly entered upon her ninth decade. Although the last twelve months have not been the most eventful in her history, yet one may with truth apply, to the year the conventional phrase supposed to begin every such review and say that it has been one of the most prosperous years in the history of the institution. In the first place the prosperity of the college is marked by the fact that the spirit pervading its life is one of conformity to the best ideals that prevail in well ordered human society outside of colleges. In this respect of course we are only sharing the common experience of all American colleges. Never- theless it is gratifying to feel that we are sharing this experience in full measure. So far as can be judged by those of us who have a pretty intimate general knowledge of the college life, we can say with truth that not influence is active among us that would not make for go-od order and the common good wherever human beings live together. Good work, rational recreations and interest in all the college organizations have absorbed our time and our energies. lfVe: are at peace with the world outside the campus and with our own consciences, or rather our own consciousness, within the campus fence. The opening of the' fall term brought to the college enough newcomers to more than till the Freshman seats in the chapel. Time has proved that the quality as well as the quantity of the entering class is on the gratifying side of the average One circumstance about this class a little out of the common order is the fact that for the first time in the history of the college it was evenly divided between men and women. Upon this point it is enough to say that there is a wide range of sentiment and opinion. One of the valuable things about the smaller college: is that it brings its students into pretty close contact with the activities of the different college organizations. These have been sustained during the past year at Colby with good spirit and excellent results, Football hono-rs did not come to us in large measure last fall but we did' our best in spite of fate and are cheerfully ready to await the turning of the tide at the opening of next year. Qur musical organizations have probably been the best in the State this year. This has been frankly acknowl- edged by members of other college musical organizations and seems to have been the verdict of the general public. lt is not often that a small college can furnish ra glee club, an orchestra and a mandolin club so large and so excellent I7I as those we have sent out this year. The college publications have been well maintained. Modesty forbids that anything should be said of the ORACLE by the present writer. Like lltlassachusetts, it speaks for itselff, The Echo has continued to justify the opinion generally entertained when it was first converted into its present form and is welcomed weekly by the alumni and undergraduates to whom it comes. It is a faithful record of college news and opinion. The publication -of the Colby Stories early in the year is noticeable as the first enterprise of this sort to be carried through successfully by any Maine college. Our debaters did not win the honors this year in the intercollegiate contest with Bates. The men worked hard and reflected grea.t credit upon the college but it seems evident that we ought either to go into the business of debating or to go out of it. Something besides good ability and hard work upon the debate itself is necessary. A A certain background of habitual debating for the acquiring of technique is indispensable. All things considered, it is surprising that our men make as good a showing as they do when we reflect thatpractically no attention to debating is paid at Colby. while at Bates it is at all times a prominent feature of the college life. A good beginning was made last fall in the organization of political clubs, but the passing of the Presidential campaign caused these organizations to die a natural death and this brought to an end whatever advantage could have been derived from general debating. Our baseball record has not been made at the present writing but indications are that the historian who records it for the next Oracle will have a story to tell that will gratify all who are jealous of the reputation of Colby in the matter of spring athletics. Death has been unusually busy in the college ranks in the last twelve months, In the current catalogue three consecutive names of trustees are starred and three places stand vacant. These names are W. H. Alden, D. D., of Ports- mouth, New Hampshire, General Russell B. Shepherd of Skowhegan and Rev. Newell T. Dutton of Vlfaterville. The death of none of these friends of the college. however, came so sharply home to the students as that of Theodore Everett ixtami, of the Class of IQO3, who died Wediiesclay, March 13. Such an event has not for many years. interrupted the regularity of the college life. Memorial services were held in the college chapel March I4 and the attendance of the entire college attested the sincere respect which all felt zfor this fellow- student whose fine spirit, cheerful courage and consistent Christian .character made him thoroughly liked by those who knew him intimately and by his remoter acquaintances. l!Ve were glad 'at the opening of the year to welcome Professor Roberts and Mr. Hedman, both of whom returned from a year's leave of absence. A new 172 acquisition to the faculty was Professor Clarke VV. Chamberlain, who came to us from the University of Chicago as Professor of Physics. The social life of the college has been rather quiet but on the wlhole a helpful supplement to the other features of our student existence. Five successful assemblies have been held and have, as in one or two recent years, constituted a valuable as well as an enjoyable feature of our social lifes. The informal teas given by the Dean and members of the VVomen's Division of the college and the term receptions at the President's House have been well attended. As usual one of the most enjoyed of the y:ear's social functions was the junior Proml' at the Fairfield Qpera House, Friday, May 3. This is always one of -the prettiest parties given in connection with our college year and it is enough to say that the Prom', this spring was in no feature behind those of former years. Prob- ably the alumni reunions. in Boston and New York do not properly come under the head of the social life of the college, but it is rhetorically consistent in this paragraph to note that the Boston meeting at least served to enliven social conditions on the campus. On the whole the year has been progressive in everything that makes for the development of the college. Nothing perhaps indicates this more fully than the new catalogue, which is thoroughly modern as to model, mechanical execution and contents. Probably Colby has never before issued so clear and complete a pamphlet of information about the college as that of this year. There is little that is worth knowing about the institution that cannot be learned from its pages. Progress is still further eviden-t in the kind interest which alumni and general public are manifesting in the policy of the college. The agitation which has dis- turbed some is merely a manifestation of life and gro-wth which ought to be grati- fying to all who love the college for its past and are hopeful for its future. No one can doubt concerning that future who is familiar with our eighty years of honorable history and who takes into 'account our location, our field and the rela- tion of the institution to a denomination that has in recent years shown no dispo- sition to take a second place in the matter of promoting its institutions of learning. 175 The Frost-Fog. During winter midnight hours, wrapped in darkness chill, Vilien we mortals, labor-wearied, lay in slumber sweet and still, Rolling from the north or from the south, from east or west, Came the frost-fog white and dense on Nature's snowy lap to rest. With its nipping and its sharply-biting icy breath It has held the trees and hedges in embrace as cold as death. It has decked the sapless branches with a garment fairg Every twig it holds a captive in a frosty -prison rare. But when o'er the hills the radiant sun begins to rise, -When each creature of the shady night now slinks away or dies, Lo! the icy mists begin to tremble and to flee. They withdraw in passive silence from each crystal-crusted tree. To the valley of the river, cringing, flee they hrst. There at length by hostile sunshafts they are hunted and dispersedg But on every tree and shrub those icy fogs embraced There now clings a frozen beauty, every twig with radiance cased. Brightest gems are floating in the heaven-sent silvery light. Every shrub with sparkling diamonds is an eye-entrancing sight, Every tree is richly set with pearls of purest ray, Nature is ecstatic o'er her jewel-cradled winter day. -A. M. WATTS.

I guess it would be a dead goat, all right, Mis'r Steward. No, 'twould be a hare in the butter. This chestnut hit the Professor so hard that he made no reply and Doc. retired to plan another Methodist sociable. CI'IAR.ITY BEGINS, ETC.

I have been giving quite a lot to the church and missionary societies lately and find myself short on funds. Everything here is coming well and hope you are the same. Your loving Son, ALLIE. The reply was this: My Dear Son: Your letter received. I am very glad you are devoting so- much of your time and money to church interests, but you will have to do it out of your allow- 179 ance.

VVhile absent, a couple of the boys dropped: in, sized up the situat-ion, made a few arrangements and dropped out. Shortly afterward the junior came in, took the parcel and going to the store derna-nded an exchange. The clerk unfoldeld the parcelg that is, partly did so, for, as he staggered back he gasped, Guess you've worn 'em, havenlt you?', NV. started to say not, but after- he had been- revived by a bicycle pump confessed that he guessed some of the boys had playged a trick on him and exchanged the hose previously, putting in some of his old ones. The clerk remarked that it was an Uodorous trick and that so rank an offense truly smelled to Heaven, while the proprietor went out and bought an atomizer. A STUDY IN VVHITE. QFrom real lifej. At a recent day there lived in VVaterville a fair Maiden who was xvooedg according to the customs of the times, by a sturdy Youth. Now it happened that, despite the thing called Junior ease, these ardent lovers found that they must economize time and so could not be with each other as much as they desired. Moreover, the Maiden's parents sought to discourage too much. assiduousness on the part of the young pair. So the Youth -and Maiden must needs put their heads together and devise some cunning plan where y they I8O :night meet at some appointed time and place, at such :time as something important need be said. Now fit came to pass that -the simple theory and 'practice of the 'grocer's card put a brilliant .idea into the head of the Maiden and in hot haste she sought the Youth and spake to him thus: My 'brave one, at length I have a plan, and we are safe. I have prepared a square of '-'white cardboard which will stand conveniently in one corner of the south window of my mothcris manor and when I desire to summon you to my side, or when the absence of my parents makes it safe for you to venture beneath my window, I will place 'the cardboard just outside the curtain, so that when you go to your club, 'for your thrice-daily meal, you may glance a little further up the street, seethe signal, read the message, and-hie thee hither. The Youth acquiesced, silently or otherwise, and so it was arranged. Now in these 'latter days it comes to pass, that when the Youth is seen to leave the club and wend 'his joyous way toward the home of his 'fair one, a keen observer sees a white cardboard quickly disappear from the possible 'gaze of an inquisitive public and an admirer of modern ideas rejoices in the discovery and successful application of a new form of lover's telegraph.

RALPH CARLETON BEANE--TI-IE COLLEGE INFANT. I don't see why my mamma let me come to college! She really didn't decide to until the last minute and then the hurry and bustle of getting me ready! At the time I was in long dresses, but these and my rattle had to go, for the boys would have laughed at me and that would have made me cry. I was considered bright and precocious at home, but here, there are so many things I don't know about, I sometimes 'appear simple. Some of the older boys are so good to me, I feel free to go to them at any time for advice and counsel in anything. Eddie, for instance, and Sum my roommate on account of their own great personal experiences with the co-ords have been of valuable aid to me. They give me awfully good advice but Great Scott l I don't dare to follow it in every way. They wouldn't take me into Kappa' Kappa--becausefl-.didnft meet the requirements of their constitution, but I certainly met them on the night of the D. W. ride and -one or two other occasions. Sometimes Suml' takes me out calling with him, so I can put his lectures to practice, but I don't like to go with him, for it keeps me all nerved up wondering who my girl will be. Sum says I should write an appendix to Rules of Etiquette, as I have done some original work along that line, but I don't believe I shall, for I like to do things in an odd way and if my rules should be published ,they would become common property I was terribly homesick this year without little VVillie- and brother George until I met a little boy on Elm street named Stephen who is just my age. We have lots of fun together playing cars and building houses. Next year is my last year hereg then I hope mamma will put me into long trousers. I shall try to be a good boy and try to keep my baby smile. I shall always remember all those nice little talks with Sum and Ed'die especially the confidential, negligee chats which were not only interesting but most instructive for my con- duct when I grow up. i . 1-+-W A friend, they say, is most a friend In some great time of needg So Marion a sweetheart Drew, And Winter found a Reed. 182 .T : V v,-!, 51 J ' y l lf Fmt-if iivllll ll F il lilxl-til Aft HZ, f ,l live Q- X 1 - .

The larger part of the class in Political Economy have already assembled. The students are singing loudly, 'Td Leave My Happy Home for You. Dr. Black's head appears in the door and a sudden and painful silence ensues. Dr. Black passes on into his private room and laughter and tumult follow, in which chairs are overturned. Dr. Black finally appears and quiet is with difhculty restored. At this moment some of the students come in late. Dr. Black deliberately arranges his pile of books on his desk in two or three different positions, calls the roll, carefully places his pencil in his book and puts the book methodiically on one side, takes his watch from his pocket, and leans it against a book in front of him with great precision, and then makes a careful survey of the class. The students are all sitting low in their seats, the most of them have their feet high upon the chairs in front and their books open. Dr. .Black first remarks upon the danger of harming the furniture by such disorderly conduct and commands that it be discontinued. He then enters upon an extended discourse upon the evil of taking up so much time with trilies, which he completes a half hour later. He then prefaces the recitation with a fifteen- minute talk and takes up ten minutes more in stating his first question. Then he hurries the recitation on by asking Mr. to explain the varying degrees of marginal utility, whereupon Mr. elucidates with his famous example of the man who bought the ham sandwiches an-d the gingerbread. Dr. Black asks Mr. Ventres for an exact definition of marginal utility. Mr. Ventres replies that he has not read over the lesson and begins to protest against so much work. But Dr. Black simply says that he calculates twelve hours a day will be sufficient to accomplish the work he assigns. Putting the question then to Mr. Libby he answers with great ease and accuracy and the class begins to cheer. Dr. Black pounds for order, remarks that it is foolish to cheer a little thing like that, and the cheers are renewed. Dr. Black asks for a list of the first articles that were importedg a large number are unable 'to name them. He then says that it is a very easy thing to do, that anyone ought to name the entire list as there are only aibout fifty articles. Then, in supreme disgust, he asks if there is anyone who can name one article. Someone suggests rubber. Rubber! rubber! is yelled by the members in all parts of the room. 1 At this point the bell begins to ring, the students bolt for the door, over- turning chairs and creating great confusion, while Dr. Black 'assigns 200 pages for reading the next time, 40 definitions to be carefully learned 'and preparation on Adam Smith for the following day. 186 A Tale-With a Sting In It. Did ever you hear of the One I-Ioss Shay That was built in.such a logical way And run a hundred years to a day, 'Till all of a sudden--you've heard of it, hey? Well, that ancient story has nothing to do VVith this little one Iim relating to youg And besides, Q-let me whisper it into your earj, This one has a moral that's worthy to hear. In a good little college th:1t's not far away, In a class in Psychology, one autun1n's clay. The terrible circumstance truly befell In a manner quite' shockingg of which I shall tell. This tale that is coming is none the less dread Than a story of how a man once lost his head And, strange as you'd think it, he isn't yet dead. This class in the science I've mentioned before W'as taught by a scholar much learned in lore, Who was up to the tricks, 'cause he'd been there before. And couldn't be fooled by a class any more. Now this class in Psychology tthat was the name That 'twas called in the schedule: you'll find it the same As the stuff called the Science of Mindf, or of Souly' Or Mental Philosophyf' names that await The beginner, Who'll find them within alcove eightb Was right up and coming and, wishing to teach It the best he knew how, in it manner that each Might get hold of the best, the professor in charge . Had brought into the class, for inspection at large, A real brain with its parts, so that each one might see What the shape of his head on the inside should be. Well, to shorten the story, this morning, alas! The learned professor stepped front of the class To expound in a manner quite perfectly plain How the thing workedg and. reaching around for the brain In the jar, found a part missing. Couldn't be seen From outside. Then behold! the professor serene Gets indignant, suspects that some indolent youth Lacking brain and yet eager to have some, forsooth, I-Ias abstracted the part and supplied the demand. 187 Hence, the storm that comes on, yea, the tempest at hand Is a scorcher. He swears that if that cerebellum Isn't quickly forthcoming, he'll surely expel 'em. And more, 'tis in fact such scandalous sell That the guilty performers shall go straight to-well, They'll go home and be blessed. At this critical point A clear-headed youth with his nose out of joint By these heated remarks, interrupted the storm And suggested it might be. perhaps, in good form To look over the iar.

Brown, of Colby, meets Smith of his native town, and the following dialogue ensues: BROWN: Hello, Smith! I-low are you? VVhere are you go-ing? Off on a little vacation? SMITH: 'fYes, live been working pretty hard this winter. Had to get up at tive oiclock every morning, do chores before breakfast, then cut ice-, haul wood or something of that sort all day, then do chores. again 'after supper and get through about eight o'clock. 'Course I had some rest through the day, but I tell you, we fellows that work for a living donlt have the snap you college boys do, who lie abed till seven o'clock and just go to a few recitations, in the middle of the day and play billiards and sport the rest of the time. By the way, what's your hurry, old man ? BROWN: Oh, nothing. live just got to chase 'around after a confounded :Vlfakeman and Hassall' for History reading. You see we have about thirty pages of history to learn every day besides learning the notes given us in class, read outside authorities and write a three-thousand-word article upon- some topic during the term, read every week a fConstitutional essay' of about severity-five pages, each written in the style of a Maine Report, to be tested upon every two weeks g and since there are only six books for a class of forty, we have to chase the blamed things all over the city. Besides, we have to draw maps illustrative of different epochs and- SMITH: Holy Moses! You ClOI1,lI have anything else to do, have you P BROWN! f'Oh, no! VVhy, that's only in one study, man! I have Rob's course in English Lit. and in that we have to read -a whole book full 'of biography every day and write a theme upon it, compare the man under consideration with other men, estimate his 'chances in a future world, besides reading all of his literary productions. Then I'n1 taking Physiology under Billy Elder and we have a dozen pages of Huxley toplearu r,fev'bat'1'11ez. That alone, of course, takes only -three hours, but it counts. -This is the academical part of the program. l'm on the Glee Club and we rehearse two hours a day and give three concerts a week in diierent parts of the State. VVe also have to take an hour in the gymnasium every dayy to keep our muscles up and to prevent our going crazy. 190 SMITH: But you don't get up till seven. BROWN :l But we clon't get to bed till twelve.. Besides the things I've mentioned, I've written an essay for the Junior Exhibition, another for the college debate, have been asked to write a story for the ORACLE, am on four committees and have a class part in the Senior Exhibition.

Love. .i+ .. At the last annual convention of Kappa Kappa Kappa, Prof. El-der was induced to give the following lecture for the benefit of the younger members. lt has since been printed and a copy given to each member, but has never till no-W been put before the public. LOVE. ATOMIC SYMBOL A. MOLECULE fb.2 Qin the darkl. Vapor Density-It is too light to be compared with the standard. Dis!1'ibm'i01z-It is found free in nature in large quantitiesg the most noted deposits are at Co-ord Hall and the Alden Mansion. Its sulphur compounds are found along Pleasant street, where it is being continually manufactured from tho crude ore in the Ike factory. Office in N amre--It is particularly useful in exhilarating the emotions of the Co-ords, and in preventing the stagnation of the liquid whose symbol is K. K. K. It also has an important use in the manufacture of Matrimony. Cillwllation-It is kept in constant circulation by the artificial process of osculation. We owe the discovery, it is said, of this simple means to the, younger niefmbers of the Faculty. P7'6fCl7'CZZi'lO71,-I4OVEf may be prepared in many ways. It is refined from the impurities it has whe-n procured in the free state by the juxtapolsition of the orbieular muscles. in a state of con'traction.', We will take several classical experiments for preparing love. Ist. Take one Freshman Co-ord and place in close proximity, to an upper elassman. Molecular activity begins on the inside o-f the man's arm, and spreads to the far side of the Co-ord's Waist. Then chemical action takes place and they become a compound. Pure love escapes as a gas. Igr The reaction is: One Co-ord and one Upper Classman yield Love and one Kappa Kappa Kappa and one College VVidow. 2nd, In this experiment we need a new piece of apparatus, called a top buggy. Place in the receptacle a small amount of CO2RD, and add an equal quantity of SQPH. The affinity is so great that, when they are surrounded by a strip of woods, they unite with a slight explosion. The reaction is CO2RD-I-S0PH:A2-l-20 KIS2 QESJ. Omitting the well-known Messalonskee reaction, we will take the method chiefly used when large quantities are needed. A 3rd. Take a parlor at the Alden Mansion or Co-ord Hall and insert care- fully one Co-ord and one animal fashioned after Adam, dressed in his Saturday- evening-best. , These should be carefully mixed by strong lamplight, care being taken that they do not slop over, as this will retard the result. After mixing for some time, turn down the light and a peculiar buzzing sound will be heard. Douse the glim and fab we see a bright flash and hear a sizzleg Qbj then o-pen the door and the Dean rushes in, filling the whole room except the farthest corner, where We find Love and a Sofa Pillow. ' Comjvosizfion-Love is synthesized in various ways, but there is 'always something left -over, so we cannot be sure of its compo-sition in this way. No one has yet been able to analyze it, but several eminent authorities are at work on the subject and promise immediate information. These authorities include H. Emery Pratt, G. Willntir Chipman, and Eugene Pike. L. P. Knapp, Q. R. P. Hjk and Dr.. Cox claim to have procured it from a mixture of whist and darkness. R. Atherton still upholds the opinion of the discoyerers that it is an element. He claims that he has tried every possible reaction and has failed in his attempt at analysis, therefore no one can analyze iit, therefore it is an element. P1'0pe1'tic's-Love is a semi-liquid, bordering on the gaseous state. It is of a bright green color and Usrnells to heaven. The most noticeable character- istic is the uniformity of the amount in the atmosphere. lt is being very rapidly set free but it partly escapes into the ether, and the surplus is counteracted and the whole supply regulated by the fickleness of the members of the spinster sisterhood which Haunts its calico on Colby Campus. :K Quaclc Rival of the Prince of Hades. 192 Retrogrcssional. 11,Z,.1.

Q2j The name f'Ike is distinctively Israelitish. If you want a nickname more strictly applicable to your nationality as shown by the tintype you sent us, we suggest Tecumseh, or Blood on the Moon. Ventres: Qrj Yes, automobiles have been in use for some time, but you are wrong in supposing that they are a modern style of bicycle. Qzj We know of no law against riding a bicycle made before ISSQQ possibly Andrews was trying to bluff you. C35 VVe should think the machine you describe might be salnble as old iron, under the same class as mowing machines or sulky plows. Dennis: Qrj Certainly, if your date was for three o'clock, you had a right to call at a quarter after one. But you should have given all the mayllowers to the young lady. Q25 We cannot furnish names of eligible Co-ords in this column. You will find the addresses of several matrimonial agencies in -the leading monthlies at Moore's bazaar. Qgj Your handwriting indi- cates that you are ht-ted for the poultry, business. pl. H. B. F.: QU Qur horoscopic reading of your life, shows that you will be under an especially auspicious star next year. You will be especially success-ful in low politics, announce your candidacy, at once, for all the offices you can think of, and if there are not enough, y-ou might create a dozen or so. Q25 Yes, the professor you mention is supposed to under- stand his department reasonably well, and we have not heard of the intention of the college to offer you the Chair of Histo-ry. Q31 It wiould be better not to call him Black to his' face, Doctor, is more academic. Bake: Q Inj VV e are a little uncertain on this poinit, but must say. that it is likely that other people are not so much interested in your girl as you might think. VVe also are laboring under the impression that it would sound better among the boys to call her by her last name, with the customary prefix of Miss. Q2j Yes, you may be an anomaly, but it would indicate a moral victory if you should refrain from walking clown with your Co-ord from every recitation and should also be content with having the parlor to yourselves without asking that the light be turned down. 194 Larsson: We fail to find New Sweden on the map. Your face is enough to indicate that you are outlandish. Boot.: CID Yes, soap is a well-known substance, and may be used with impunity. It may be safer for you to start the use of it with moderation, though lack of that precaution might not necessarily result fatally. Czj There may possibly be an opening for you in professional copper-pitching, but hardly think the Ziovzfs Advocate would be a good medium :Eor your advertisement. You had better try the Police Gazette. C3jYou are quite eligible to the Anti-Dutchman Club, apply to W. I-l. Hawes, the present General Secretary.

VVe presume an air-pump might be of use. Flood: The 'KWar Cry is not, as you suppose, the fiendish battle slogan of the Sophomore class which is used to rend the air while taking the scalp of the verdant Freshman, it is simply a printed annual paper, eight-page, long primer, octavo, double-barrelled, and devoted to the peculiarities of the lowest class in college. You will probably find your name in the society column on the first page. There is a fair co-ord named Lou, Who wears a big bow of Zete blue And she studies, Oh, my!

BAKEMAN, after the recitation in English-':VVho is this Crablbe, anyway? I never heard of him, but I suppose he is some sont of a lobster. Some of the Co-ords apparently believe in using the method of association in order to assist the memory. Prof. Roberts had required the class to express the rhyme-structure of the sonnet by the use of the letters a, b, b, a, etc. The following was overheard next day: FIRST C0-ORD- I-low would you indicate the rhyme-structure of the Petrarchan sonnet PM SECOND Co-onb- VVhy, instead of saying 'Abba Father' you just say 'abba, abba'. Ron Qto girls in the Literature classji- Now I Want you to write out your thoughts on this subject. Don't be afraid to do it.

FOGG- Yes, I do consider it's a blamed soak. 196 . An Object Lesson on Anticipation and Realization. iixal. I. ANTICIPATION. Int was one of those crispy afternoons of l-ate winter which in so many ways breathe forth the promise of the happy days of spring. Persons of very sensitive nastures are affected by this as by a Hood of new life. At least, so exhilarating was this upon the feelings of Pick that he determined to take a night off and call that very evening 'at the mansion called the Dutton House. It is not the inten- tion of the writer to infer that this was contrary to his usual custom. But in a great measure the approach of spring was responsible. And Pick was very sen- sitive to such atmospheric changes. So off started the youth down College avenue, his hat on one side, whistling a ragtime and seeming 'to be in perfect harmony with all albouft him. 'Wlieii he returned to the 'Bricks, after supper, he carefully deposited upon his desk a gracefully tied box. Well, in that same box was a pound of the best kisses the city afforded. Not so good as they have in Boston, of course, but Pick was happy. Glee twinkled in his eyes and seemed to permeaste his whole fbeing. He could almost see the fair one as she indulged in that wealth of sweets. That's where he had an hallucination. Preparations went on apace, Q they usually dol. Patent leathers were brought out and a sweater gave place to a gaudy red shirt. But it so happened that a few of Pick's particular friends called around to see if there was any excitement. All was quiet, ho-wever, till he stepped out of the room for a moment. Then curiosity seized the friends and .soon the bo-x was 'open and its sticky contents emptied out. Well! having a relish for such things themselves, they substituted a miscellaneous assortment, such as a favorite pipe, some Pride of Virginia, a pack of cards, etc. VVhen Pick came back he carefully bufttonecl on his overcoat and put the box in his pocket. Then he smilingly bade his friends a cordial adieu. II. REALTZATION. Witli a brisk, manly stride he arrived at his destination and was ushered into the parlor ceremoniously. Soon his friend came tripping in blushingly and with an expectant look in her downcast eyes. She welcomed him and they were soon enjoying a tete-at-fifte. Then Pick drew forth the box and asked the maiden to partake. With laughing eyes she opened the box. Alas! How tragic it must have been for the happy youth! He shouted something in his native dialect 197 which is too complicated to repeat here. She looked surprised and he looked- well, only an artist could do justice. VVith thoughts of blood he retracecl the steps which had been taken so happily. He rushed into his den. There smilingly sat a row of youths, literally gorging themselves with kisses. At this sight-. No, it is better to let the cur- tain fall here as the next scene has been condemned. ....l+i. There a young fellow named' Knapp, TWhose head is quite killed up with ksappg No mortal on earth, . , Knows the place of his birth, It isn't laid down on the kmapp. Said Howard, Ain't it' funny thats I-neverHge'ts-a- gi-rl, But that something has 'to rudely come between us ?

T'hat's none of your gol-clurned business the green young Freshman said, And therefore, I'll be hanged sir, if I'll tell you! 198 An Allegory. Ch'arlie is a Senior this year and bears the reputation of 'being a member of the Quakers. His innocent bland facef with the mournful, dark eyes mark him to the ob-server as the first man to pay his Y. M. C. A. dues. HI-Ie is in the Glee Club and during its trips has picked up several items of interest. The following will give an idea of one which he picked up and the result. It happened that a field meet was held in the sulphurous town of Qrono and while the Colby team was there, a member of the team chanced to be seated near a maiden who wasQ-expiessing--here-livelycinterest in the VVatervi1le College. By the way, said she, turning to the member afore mentioned, Udo you happen to know anybody from Watetrville P That's what I do, replied the member courteously. Then perhaps you can tell me about this gentleman, she rippled, and pulled forth a letter which was carefully unfolded and handed over. It read something like this: My dear Miss X.: It has been some time since I have heard from you fone weekj but I hasten to write yo-u this line. Our team will be at Orono Saturday and will take dlinner at the Orono I-Iouse. I canit be over myself, but one of my friends. Mr. Bla-- will be over and I should like you to entertain him.

Please come down but don't come Commencement, some of my folks may be here.---C? Bu-t the 'team didnt take dinner at Orono and hence the give-away. It was suggested by -the member to Charlie that cigars wouldbe in order, but he 'thought differently. I-Ie will probably change his mind, later. 199 Simple English for Plain People, This, my child, is a li-bra-ry. Over there by the desk is the man who runs it. Isn't he a pret-ty one? His name is Ted-dy. 'ils he look-ing at us? O, no, he is not looking at us, that is bald spot on the back of his head. l'Wl1at is a bald spot? It is a body of skin on one's head, partly or wholly sur-rounded by hair. That round shiny spot is above the region of per-pet-u-al hair. What is he doing?l' He is telling the co-ords how hard he has to Work and how much their sym-pathy lightens his daily toil. He is very a-greeQable, isn't he?

Dutchy and others.-T hat the Bill-boardu is a privileged department of the col- lege Weekly and means no maliceg hence, to get riled over it is poor judg- ment. Misses Bevrry and Farrar.-That a multiplicity of beaux doesn't indicate a sim- plicity of motive. Bartlett.-That it's 'fbetter to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. WVitherell.-That the empty vessel makes the greatest sound. Barker.-T hat exercise is the chief end of Man. Cox.-That Vtfeihster, Calhoun, Burke and a few others were also orators and did very well at it, so that you cannot consistently claim to be the nrst of the breed. Each member of the Faculty.-That the other members of the faculty are also giving courses in study which must be attended to. Also that it would raise the high moral atmosphere of chapel exercises if more 'than two 'off the faculty members might be present some morning. A weekls notice of such an intended action would soften the surprise.
