Certain changes have been macle in the arrange- ment of the book in the hope that they would make for uniformity. further changes were considered. but on account of increased expense could not tae adopted. We realize fully our mrsftakes and failures. You will probably realize them too as you read the book. We do not, however. make any excuses or apologies. On the other hand we cheerfully await all criticisms, realizing that they are merited, and only asking that they be made in a kindly spirit. V Our 11igl1es't hope is that it may be deemed worthy to occupy a place alongside former ORACLES both in the home and in the college. Vvitll Worcl of greeting we turn the book over to you.

Time was when nearly every student at Colby was a member of a fraternity, but this is changing, and we all welcome the advent of a strong non-frat element. Even if the ORACLE should be managed as now, backed by the fraternities, we believe that some arrangement should be made whereby non-fraternity students would be repre- sented on the Editorial Board. But, 'better even than that, would be the plan to make the ORACLE a Junior Class publication. This would give the whole Senior year for the .settlement of all business matters. If it is true that we are to have a new dormitory at Colby, there could be no better time to enact a new rule concerning the taking of men into the frater- nities. There is no denying that many times men are initiated who prove ere long that they are not capable of doing college work. Wfould it not be wise to have a certain definite scholarship requirement insisted upon by the College? The plan that is meeting with success in so many of the colleges and universities makes one semester's work, of at least a passing grade, necessary before a student can be initiated into a fraternity. This protects the fraternity, and at the same time gets the students into the habit of .studying Under present conditions it would be practically impossible to put such a rule into effect, but with a new dormitory it could be very easily made practicable. A April I4 E K convenes at Champaign, Ill. C-olby is proud of her offspring. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 15 In last year's editorials we find this sentence: There ought to be on our staff an art editor whose sole duty would be to suggest, procure, and arrange drawings, and have full charge of the art department. Tn accordance with this recommendation an art editor was elected at the annual meeting. The Editor and the Business Manager do not consider the experiment to have been a suc- cess. In the fall the art editor was told the plans for the book, given a list of drawings needed, and given full charge of the department. For some reason, probably the stress of college and class work, nothing was done, and at the last moment the work fell upon the Editor-in-Chief. Thanks to the hearty support of the artists of both divisions we were able to procure some creditable work, but we feel that it could have been much better with more time. ' You will notice that the Editor has taken the liberty of making some marked changes in the arrangement of the classes. VVe claim to be a college of co-or- dinate divisions and if that is so, then the se aration into Mens and VVomen's i P Divisions is as logical in the ORACLE as it is in the colleffe catalogue. We have , o b as tried to be fair in the matter of 0'1V1l10' s ace to the interests of the VVomen's D fb Division, and we feel that they are more fully represented than ever before, and yet in a way that cannot give offence to any fair-minded person. Wfe are glad to welcome to our midst the new members of the faculty. There are several th'is year to whom we must give the hand of fellowship, five in all. You will find more about them in another section of the book. Suffice it to say that Colby is the happy gainer by their presence. ' From all reports the regime of Miss Bass, as Dean of the VVomen's Divis- ion, has been a happy and prosperous one. VVe congratulate her upon her splen- did administration. lfVe congratulate the women ofthe college upon their privi- lege. We believe that the Dean represents the type of wo-manhood that Colby believes in and desires to send out into the world. VVe are fortunate in having such an excellent picture of her in this ORACLE. Sometimes it seems that the best feelings of humanity, the noblest and most unselfish, come at the time of some misfortune or disaster. We deeply deplore April I5 The Lyford Interscholastic Prize Speaking Contest. I6 THE COLBY DRACLE 1911 the fire which ruined the Delta Cpsilon Fraternity quarters in North College, but we were profoundly moved by the sympathy and helpfulness that came from the friends of the college. This is a pretty good world to live in after all. , lt was a source of regret to the Editor that he was unable to obtain a more recent photograph of the late Dr. lilall. to whcm this book is dedicated. Never- theless, we feel that this picture will be valued, especially by those who are now graduated from College. . The Druid Scholarship Cup, presented by one ofthe student organizations, ought to stimulate a spirit of friendly rivalry among the fraternities at Colby. lt will be interesting' to follow the contest, especially as the non-fraternity men, as a body, are eligible. The Auditing Board. assuring as it does a more ellhcient administration of the various student organizations, is a forward step in the growth and progress of the college.

It is rather to bring to the reader such a summary of our attributes and observations as to show him that we are, and indeed have every reason to be, proud, and to claim the credit that is ours. A certain feel- ing of sadness takes possession of one who attempts the task, as he realizes how soon these happy days of college life will be exchanged for the sterner realities. We love the dear old college and it will always hold first place in our memo- ries. VVe look back over the years that have passed and once more brush the dust of Time from our pages and we have seen there how the original number of thirty-five men has stood together, gradually growing fewer in numbers, but learning well the lessons of the years that have gone so swiftly, becoming more and more self-reliant and growing in strength and ability, 'until to-day we stand as a united and loyal body of eighteen, always true to the college, the class, and each other. The records are of obstacles overcome, friendships formed, burdens borne, of work and of play, of the serious and the comical, of sorrow and of joy, and of all the confused and confusing mass of details that comprise what we term as college life. In that record can be seen the true mission of the college course. It is character-building. A VVe have seen the college entering upon a new era of progress and prosperity and we rejoice. Wfe have seen President Roberts entering upon his new duties and instilling into the hearts of all Colby men an entirely new spirit of loyalty. Vtfe have seen the entering classes growing year by year until to-day we stand in urgent need of new dormitories. Wfe have seen the abolishment of hazing and the int'roduc'tion of the newer and more civilized fraternity system. Wfe have seen the fraternity situation changing from year to year into a more practical and ehicient one or cooperation for the ultimate good of Colby and of us all. Wfe have seen the men of the college growing into new standards of moral and civic con- duct, resulting in a better regard for those things 'that constitute the true gen- tleman. Thus we come to the parting of the ways, knowing that the future holds much for 'us of suffering and of joy, and as we shall clasp hands for the last fare- well it will be with the knowledge in each man's heart that whether we ever meet again or not, whether we attain success or failure, we shall ever be true to Colby and nineteen hundred and eleven, to our friends and our ideals.

He had one in Public Speaking in his Junior Year that was a corker,-Hve little cute bungalows on the back campus. It hasn't come true yet, but it may. They say he makes a better dreamer than a business manager. His greatest dissipation has been writing poetry C?j for Peck, after the manner of the Boston Post. He has lots of brains, but does not always use them.

A You see that fellow with the five-dollar grin on his face, that is the one and only Ray Cecil Carter. He was raised on sardines down in Brooklin, Maine. Quite a sport, you say? Sh! He is a preacher of some reputation. As a result of his training here he has become a philanthropist, and has made up his mind to found a school and home for boys. Such aspirations in the mind of man can scarcely be stirred by a base intellect, and we accordingly have great hopes for him. DELEER WALLACE CLARK, A T Q Debber , Wfashburn Hi-gh School, 307. Y. M.

Tom is regarded as the Aroostook fire-eater, but one of' our illustrious college publications dubbed him Tin Pepper Box Packard. lhfhether the author of this name meant to represent Tom in the word Pep- perl' or Tin Box we are unable to say. Tom has grit enough to get him most anywhere or anything, but he lacks diplomacy. He has been like a ship without a rudder for the greater part of his college course, but we understand that even he has been taken captive by wily Cupid, who now has the helm, and we feel sure that he will be piloted to quiet water and a safe harbor. .

Pat comes from Wiiisloxv which is almost as far from Wate1'ville as the North Pole. His specialty is mixing water with milk in such a way that it looks almost like cream. In his Freshman year he joined the circle of Dutchie's Friends UD, much to his own sorrow and the German's delight. Pat is a good worker as all will testify who have been on the same committees with him, and if he works as hard at teach- ing as he has in college, he is bound to win out. JAMES PERRY, A K E .

Should we give Jim a name for every mood he has, we would need to publish it in a volume by itself. jim is short and stubby with a laugh which makes you want to call Polly want a cracker P In his Junior year he gained quite a notoriety by his successful management of the Musical Clubs. The Stinger hit him pretty hard, but he stood it all right. Iim's worst faculty is that of being misunderstood, and those who know him best appreciate his worth. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 39 HORACE MANN PULLEN, Z XII Hod Monson Academy, 'OSQ Class Treasurer, 15 Secre- tary Y.

The worst sin that Hod has is his too frequent calls at Foss Hall. Perhaps he doesn't look it, but he is a very noted fusser, and heart-breaker, too.

Corey Richardson pour- ing out his heart in one of his amourous selections. His favorite song is: I've Got to Make Love to Some- body. Occasionally, after he has made a trip to Portland, you may hear him hum, My Bonnie Sweet Bessie. Dick aspired to Grand Opera, and We lost him for a time from the college. He returned to us last year, and decided to give up all thought of Grand Opera. He has now decided UD to become an Osteo- path.

Shep expects to graduate with us, as he has expected to graduate with every class for the past eight years. Wfe don't dare to say whether he will or not, but it looks more like it than ever before, He is a Hrst-rate bluffer, as .all newspaper men are, but the Profs. are all getting wise to him. In his Senior year, that is the present one, he aspired to be Boss of the Machine in the great political light in Libby's cinch course. His long-winded oratory lost him his place. 1911 THE COLBY GRACLE 41 EDWARD GOODELL STACEV, Z MII Coburn Classical Institute, '06, Class President, 2, Sophomore Declamation, 2, Assistant College Mar- shal, 2, College Marshal, 3, Class Marshal, 3, Good- win Prize Speaking Contest, 33 Class Historian, 4.

VVas it yesterday that we valiantly charged the stairs of North College ag'ainst an entrenched, insolvent group of Freshmen?

VVe ended our Sophomore year as was fitting to a class of our fame. In the spring it seemed for a time as though we would surely have to dig up the old war togs of Phi Chi in order to avenge an insult offered by a few thoughtless members of ,13 against the traditions of the college: but, with justice tempered with mercy, we refrained from hasty action and nobly lived up to our promise to refrain from hazing. Our class must live in Colby History as largely respon- sible for the abolition of that great custom. Now as stately juniors we see how wise our decision was and are justly proud for it. VVe admit that it seemed hard to brook the insults, and that we did overlook them is to our credit and honor. As Juniors we have pursued our course without deviation from our custom. W'e have reached the age where we can see our faults and generously We admit them. We are proud of our -attainments, our success on the athletic field and in class roomg We can boast of having helped President Roberts in the success he is having, because we began our college when he entered the Presidentys chair. W'e love our college and are resolved more and more to become worthy of the name of Sons of Colby. April 26 McConaughy, Bowdoin Y. M, C. .-X. Sec.. gives illustrated talk on Northfield.

The pages of history are full of examples of lucky thirteens, not the least note- worthy of which are the thirteen original colonies of America. Nor has Colby been here slighted, for the College charter was granted in 1813 and she now .shel- ters beneath her fostering roof the brilliant, omnipotent Class of 1913. In the Autumn of 1909, seventy-two -of us were enrolled as members of Colby. Green we were, as the very grass of the Campus if you will, but deter- mined by all on earth and beneath it to make ourselves distinctly seen, heard, and felt. 'fBloody Monday ' came bringing a glorious victory for 1913. The stairs at North College were bravely defended against all comers until daybreak when the besieging parties withdrew in disorder and confusion. In the track and base- ball contests we were easy victors and the juniors duly received their grapes. Cur Freshman reception was a great success. A small party of Sopho- mores attempted to interrupt the festivities, but I forbear to tell their fate. How- ever, if anyone is curious about it, let him .step to the telephone and call 32-2. The dawning of our Sophomore year saw us smaller in numbers but with our old-time ardent spirit dampened not a whit. VVhile we were happy to wel- come several new members to our ranks, many of the old faces were missing, and our hearts were especially saddened by the death of our beloved friend and class- mate, John Mcliechnie Stewart. The events of our Sophomore year, our gentle paddling of the Freshmen, our victory in baseball and our magnilicently successful invasion of the precincts of the Freshman Reception in spite of opposition on the part of the Clinton tire department, are all evidences of the superiority of 1913. Thus far in our college career we have shown ourselves true and loyal sup- porters of our Alma, lllafer. VVe are thoroughly determined to do all in our power to make her grow and llourish, pushing ever upward and onward to a prosperity beyond compare. April 29 Junior Prom, the event of the year, draws a select crowd. Committee in charge do well, i. e., for ministers and Y. M. C. A. men. The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has. . . -H. W. alilabie.

Exodus x:15. From such a text as this, what a sermon might be preached on the history of 1914. From North, South, East and W'est they came, mamma's pets and papa's joys, one hundred strong, to scourge and to devour,-especially to devour. As I. Bill would say, they combined the qualities of the dissolute Roman and the omnivorous German and had the virtues of neither. But the aim of the Sophomore was not shortened. The reckoning was not long delayed. A few days of pomp and pride were winked at, and Bloody 'Mondayn came. 1914 massed her cohorts to the fray in the afternoon. She called all her supporters out to witness the first great act in the Freshman drama -the trimming of the Sophomore in the annual baseball game. f'Of all' sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, it might have beenf' At the sixth inning victory seemed within their grasp, but the elusive dame wound up by giv- ing them the merry ha-ha, for the sun set that night on a Freshman bunch dis- consolate-defeated six to three. ' Nor did the fall of darkness cause their troubles to cease. There was, indeed, the lull that comes before the storm. The evening passed quietly, and by the hour of low twelve, Morpheus had visited the Freshmen leaving his gift of forgetfulness. Then as the hour struck out of the fearful stillness and dark- ness came the rush of feet in the corridors and halls, the thud of blows upon door-panels, and the awful summons f'Freshmen Out! By the dim lights in the old gymnasium, amid the howls of exultant Sophs, through the dancing of demoniac shadows, 1914 learned to read their ':Tekel Upharsini' in broad, rich letters of green. Early one October evening a hush fell over the town and upperclassmen searched for its cause, discovering that not a Freshman stood in the streets or on the street-corners. 'Where was 1914? A little detective work on the part of a few vigilant Sophomores reveals the place of retreat and the fact that the Frshman banquet was there to be served. Sad story! The Sophs got there through darkness and water, and thundered for admission at the door. Doors were Hung wide and the conquerors made welcome, We have but one more defeat to tell,-the interclass meet which they lost by a close margin,-and we turn to the victory that has given them a vision of a new day-the winning of the Sophomore and Freshman relay race. W'ith this victory they hail the promising day. Freshmen will not always be Freshmen, and experience teaches slowly, but surely.

Witli IQII this has been true in no less a degree than in former days. Four short years have left their record on the Book of Time since first our names were entered in Colby's lists and we courageously took our places at the line to begin the race whose goal loomed far in the distance to us then. Now as we see it near at hand and realize that only a few months are left, in which to be irresponsible undergraduates, we feel something of a pang and think with regret that the race is almost run. During these years, we the Class of 1911, have striven earnestly to attain that standard of general efficiency which is the true aim of every college course. We have worked hard, played hard and been leading spirits in every department of college life. As Freshmen we dutifully absorbed the crumbs of wisdom which fell from the upperclassmen's table, and painfully learned that the Freshmanis first duty is to obey. As Sophomores our chief aim andgpurpose was to inculcate in every wee Freshman, an attitude of deference toward all superiors, and in this we suc- ceeded remarkably well. VVith the beginning of our junior year, ours was the voice which advocated the abolition of Peanut Drunk, the eiicectual removal of which took away all enmity 'between classes and established a spirit of friendly comradeship and rivalry. Mentally, athletically, religiously, we have been bright and shining lights. Now that we have almost reached the end, and look back over the course, we are glad of four years spent here, glad of the pleasant memories and associa- tions which will ever keep our hearts warm toward our Alma ilffatevt From this institution of learning we go forth, women, trained to meet the responsibilities of twentieth century life and htted, we hope, to cope with them. There is an old story of a reed iiute which in its original rude, native sim- plicity :gave forth notes of unusual sweetness. Someone thinking to improve it, varnished and gilded it. lt shone with the glitter of gold but no longer breathed the sweet purity of melody as before. VVe trust that with all our seeking after wisdom, culture and polish, we have not become varnished and gilded, but that through it' all, amid the added dignity of increasing responsi- bility and enlargement we have still retained that child-like simplicity which is of foremost consequence. As we go out from the sheltering protection of professors and fellow- students into 21' new world which we shall make for ourselves, we feel that the noble precepts, the high moral and spiritual ideas, the increased sense of human obligation and duty which have come to us here cannot but count for good, and with hearts full of enthusiasm and courage we face the future.

Elsie is, to all appearances, simply a very frivolous and Highty young lady, but appearances are deceitful, for one has only to learn how remarkable is her under- standing of Psychology to have great respect for her mental powers. She is widely known for her highly interesting demonstrations of the practical application of that science, and for their dire and disastrous con- sequences. In spite of this wonderful aptitude for this subject, her favorite courses are English Lit. and Advanced Rhetoric. We wonder why?

Louise is quite a decent sort of girl but she is always much too sober QPD and too apt to give us the blues? She is a very studious young lady and her favorite study is Experimental Physics. She has a few diversions, chief among which is correcting Physics papers. Immediately after her graduation, she will probably publish the first edition of her valua- ble work entitled New Discoveries in Advanced Physics. It is well known what an infinite amount of pleasure the preparation for the compiling of this treatise has afforded her.

D. 19o9'under the reign of good King Arthur that there entered into his land of Colby a new and conquering class, small in quantity, but all-sufflcient in quality. In all the battles royal waged at its entrance this people bore its victories modestly, and, what is even better, its defeats gracefully. The one deteriorating feature of the entrance was that it was made under a Small star. This drawback, serious enough at first as the light shed was more often blue than otherwise, was soon dispelled in great measure by the entrance of that protective element, known to Colby as its Elizabethan Age. True to the times all the great writers, mathematicians and scientists have dawned with this age and easily uphold its reputation. Its Bacon, its'Spenser are here. Its Shakespeare is surprising the world with talent and remains undaunted even on Ending that though the pen is mightier than the swordw it is not always mightier than the Spear. A reception was tendered by this people to its brother class. A famous progress was held to a neighboring town and a delightful evening was passed, memorable for the success and pleasure of the occasion. In the evening a little excitement was caused by an attack from a hostile people but presto! and it was quelled, The only noticeable effect of the attack was that the Small star under which they always travelled was nearly eclipsed but, encircled by the Halo, man- aged to regain its luster. In IQIO there has entered into this Utopia a class of people from Bohemia, a wild, lawless herd which has had to be subdued many a time and oft. Their bar- barous ways have, under proper control, begun to be a little less noticeable. They are learning that they must be submissive to every command and wish of the pre- ceding class and it is trusted that in time their manners will be improved and their speech be toned down so that they will become respectable and law-abiding inhabitants. Dwelling now so happily the members of 1913 say with the Historian Happy is that people whose annals are brief. May 6 Goodwin Prize Speaking Preliminaries in the chapel. ' , V if .

These schools that sent them out had held them great, But when they did to Colby now repair, 1Ne looked upon them all in blank despair. An impudent and saucy crowd-alas Too fresh to live, as green as grows the grass. Their impudence we find we cannot stand, So all at once we take them into hand. Down in the gym on Bloody Monday night Wfas seen a strange, to some a fearful sight, Their rightful natures they for once display, A horde of creatures wild we hold at bay. A divers herd it was assembled there, From polar lands, from lurid tropic lair- There monkeys were, and apes- a kangaroo, And every savage beast that ever grew. And one and all with mighty growl and roar, 'Till seemed 'twould lift the roof, or burst the door, Did lift their voices all, and yell and scream, To swell the praises loud of old thirteen. And rules on posters green we gave without delay, In fear and trembling one and all did promise to obey To class they sallied forth with ribbons green, And ne'er on Prexys side of College Hill were seen. 90 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 But hist-in league with rustic fellows of their class They thought to fool us, but they failed-alas, And all sneaked off to Clinton one fine day, VVhich lies outside our town, not far away. For there they thought they'd hold a big reception, 'Twas an illusion and a base deception, The night and crowd were hot, the hall too small, They thought they'd fooled us, but we knew 'bout all. And next Herr Libby took them all in hand, Andi tried to make them see and understand, That not to shucks amounts a college education Unless one's famed in public declamation. ' ' So recitations learned each one with language grand, ' And on a platform high each took her stand, With gestures wild and fearful modulation, Does one and all produce an awful agitation.

A, 173 H SEB lL The season of Baseball for 1910 proved a history maker for Colbyg not that we won the championship, for we didnot, but for two more important reasons. For the first time in the history of Maine Varsity Baseball, a 17-inning game was played on the Brunswick field between Bowdoin and Colby with the victory com- ing to Colby, 2-1. This game will go down as a nearly perfect game besides being one of the neatest, cleanest games ever seen in this state. But the best is always saved for the last. This consisted of a game entirely Colby, both in spirit and in teams. This game was played between the Champion- ship team -of 1906 and our 1910 Varsity team. The eastern fans will tell you of the great interest displayed in the indomitablie jack Coombs when he was in col-- legeg and now being a professional player of much renown his return brought forth the keenest interest to all lovers of the :game or the college. Cn Monday, june 20th, the Alumni Field was filled with people to witness the game between the pitchers, for since the great Bowdoin game the prospects for our pitcher, Good, were raised a great deal. The now world famous john Coombs was there in the box, and many -who had seen him there before settled back with the assurance of an easy victory for the old Championship team. But even the famous Iohn could' not play the whole game, and though the others fell into trim in fairly good order, yet the score was not what it would have been under the conditions of four years previous. The final score of 3-1, in favor of the 1906 team was a very fitting opening for the more brilliant work of john Coombs which followed so soon and won him the nrst place in baseball in the world. Baseball C's awarded in 1910: Cary, R. N. Good, R. F. Good, Reed, Frohock, Clukey, Bowker, Sturtevant, Vail. June 8 Prexie springs another test in Ethics.

Died september s, IQIO ' The character of Doctor Hall cannot be put into words. Those who knew him best did not know benevolence, acumen, loyalty, self-sacrifice, sympathy, charity and friendshipg they knew a great soul-wherein were all these elements but which was greater than all of them. The catalogue of his virtues cannot show forth the living man, nor can the story of his deeds make him known to those who never knew him. To his college he was loyal and devoted, giving her gladly the best of his life. For many years he served her as professor of modern languages and helped out occasionally by teaching Horace, trigonometry and calculus as well as giving lec- tures on German history. As librarian he revolutionzed the library and made it the 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 199 efficient branch of the college equipment that it is to-day. Through the good offices of his friendship he procured the Shannon building on the campus. He issued two general catalogues of the graduates of the college and for years was an officer of the Alumni Association. Those who knew him best found him a true friend. The same care for others and abnegation of self which made him a devoted husband and a loving father made him an unselfish and faithful friend. He saw through sham and sophistry and his keen wit was merciless with intended deceit, but his heart was tender for those who needed its sympathy. No expression of his outlook on life is better than the poem which was so dear to him: VVAITING Serene 1 fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea. I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo ! 'my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, 1 make delays, For what avails this eager pace F' I stand amid the eternal ways And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day The friends 1 seek are seeking me. No wind can drive my bark astray Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone, I wait with joy the coming years. My heart shall reap Where it hath sown And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own and draw The brook that springs in yonder heights, So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delights. The stars come nightly to the sky , The tidal wave unto the sea, Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high Can keep my own away from me. 200 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 John McKechnie Stewart Died Nov. 29, 1910 By the sudden death of John M. Stewart, ,I3, the college lost a loyal and faithful student. He was ever ready to aid anyone in his work, freely giving his time and services to those who asked them. During his one year at Colby he won the respect of students and professors alike, by his faithful devotion to what task he had in hand. To those who knew him intimately 'he is an irrevocable loss and will ever be remembered as a faithful and loving friend. He passed away at his home in Kezar Falls, Nov. 29, 1910, and the funeral services were held Dec.. 2. These were attended by a representative from his class and one from the college. The floral tributes were very beautiful. Both his parents, now residing in Kezar Falls, were born in Scotland, his mother in Glasgow, and his father in Rothesay. The deceased was born in Parsonsfield, Nov. 29, 1885, and was graduated from Parsonsfield Seminary in 1907. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 201 I Ethel Cynthia Fairfield Died December 5, 1910 The news of the death of Ethel Cynthia Fairfield at her home in Fairfield, after an illness of less than a week, came very unexpectedly to the college com- munity and was the cause of great sorrow to her many friends. Miss Fairfield graduated only last june and during the fall had been teaching most successfully in Stevens Academy at Blue Hill. She was a girl of pleasing personality, one whom all loved and respected for her gentle, wornanly manner, her kindly spirit and her faithfulness in all the activities and responsibilities of college life. In her Freshman year she became aqmember of the Chi Omega Fraternity, and her loyal interest and helpful influence cannot be forgotten by those who asso- ciated most closely with her. Though her life was short, it was not too short to make itself felt and we feel that our own lives have been enriched and bettered through contact with hers. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is Worth a pound of clevernessf' --Anon. , , V . 'Em , - I- fl .

FLORENCE ELIZABETH DUNN, '96. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 205 A Twilight Scene 1t was close by one of the miniature lakes which seem to dot the landscape of Maine as stars do the sky. A party of four left the rough and picturesque camp immediately after supper, wended their way down the hill and through the grove of straight, sweet-smelling pines, and at last found themselves upon the crude and somewhat rickety wharf by the side of which canoes and light boats danced up and down in a most inviting fashion. The sun had already sunk behind the low-standing and thickly-treed hills that rose from the water's edge almost opposite from where they stood. The skies, however, were radiantly glorious with pinks and blues, of which the reflection, softened and mellowed, but still radiant, could be discerned in the rippling waters. The breeze, which at first blowing briskly had stirred the lake into tiny waves, and had caused them to wash against the shore with constant rhythm, had now died away. Little by little the waters became still and quiet, and soon our lakepbecame a mirror wherein could be seen earth and sky, more beautiful than pen can write or brush can paint. A boat-ride was suggested, and soon, the four were seated in 'a Canadian skiff, gliding slowly across the lake. Not a word was spoken, for all were drink- ing in the beauties of the moment. The sky began to lose its color, except in the far west where the horizon was tinged with an almost crimson brilliancy. The trees began to cast their darkening shadows along the shore-line, leaving the sky and water alone in the soft and sub- dued light of eventide. Soon the boat reached a cove, crescent in shape, whose banks were decked to the water's edge with birches shimmering white even in the gloom that was gradually enveloping both land and water. Then the boat was turned and allowed to drift. In front lay the Schoodic and the Saddleback Ranges, their summits bathed in a soft light as though loath to part withthe brightness of day. How beautiful they were! But the best was yet to be seen, and all eyes turned now to where Katahdin in all its magnincence and grandeur rose to its great height, the King of Maine mountains. It may have been the haze and the mist that partly obscured its outline, or the snow that crowned its peak like the hoary hair of some old man, or its seeming dominance over all its surroundings, or, as is more probable, the result of our own emotions and imaginations: whatever it was, the mountain seemed to have a soul of its own, noble, aspiring, grand, which lay bare before our eyes in its great simplicity and subli-mity., There we sat, with scarce a word except of wonder and reverence, until the sky lost its last glimmer of sunlight and the day was done. Far off in the distance could be heard the sweet notes of a human voice, lights began to flicker in the cottages around the lake: the stars increased in num- ber and brightness, the mystery of darkness was about us. Slowly and regret- fully we glided over the smooth surface of the lake, guided by the light at the camp. lfVe pulled the skiff upon the wharf, took one long look at the scene behind us, and walked up to the camp with the feeling that we had come very near to the great and beautiful things of life. - I-I. TI-IE COLBY ORACLE A Mountain Scene in Springtime When rose-mantled Maytime brought peace to the quarrel Cf winter and spring for the year's vacant throne, I climbed over ledges aflush with pink laurel To the steep mountain's haze-purpled summit, alone. Below stretched the valleys in dim, smoky beauty, And the distance with pine forests, dreamy and dark, In green fields the plough-boy plugged slow at his duty, And smoke wreaths the few scattered hamlets did mark. And as I looked down on that land men had died for, Those beautiful, fertile, green valleys below, Rose the ghost of dead glory before me and cried for New souls for those paths w-here her loved ones did go. Oh, spirit of battle, who ever doth hover Unseen over woodland and meadow and plain, Still bless we thy broad, sable pinions that cover Our love and our glory from shame and disdain. l. 1..1 i The Song of the Skipper O the wind is in the West, An' the sails are fillin' free. When the sun sinks down to rest You must say good-by to me! For I'm bound for foreign parts In m-y merry Nancy Lee, An' I'm leavin' lovin' hearts, , Who will sometimes think o' me.

We'l1 trim the Nancy Lee by day, An' dream 0, home by night! R. I-I. E. L. H 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 20? A Sunset All day long the rain had descended-slowly, steadily, drearily. The face of nature had been hidden in a thick, oppressive, inpenetrable veil of mist. Towards night-fall a lively shower with frequent sharp lightning flashes and loud peals of thunder reverberating through the hills, arose suddenly beyond the distant mountain peaks, shut out the glow of the westward sinking sun, and driven by the winds, on its broad sable pinions, sped swiftly over head and away to the east. Back in the west the sun broke through a rift quickly, scattered the loitering clouds, and sent them fleeing in the wake of the receding storm. The strip of gold widened, changed to purple as it neared the zenith, and finally covered the whole sky except for the curtain of blackness spread in the east, riven at intervals by jagged flashes of-light. As 1 gazed, the hand of the Master Painter with swift, invisible strokes, spread upon the canvas of nature such a vision of sky and landscape, such brilliancy of setting, colorings and harmonies as man has never dreamed of 5 the atmosphere itself softened and deepened to an almost unearthly grayish purple line. The surrounding -hills, the circle of mountains, distant, yet seeming near, glowed with a warm deep violet tint, transhgured in that magic light-the like of which never was on land or sea. The .sunset lines from palest yellow to deepest crimson mingled and blended with a light and life wonderful to behold. In the broad circular slope from the mountains to the valley below, waved here and there banks of fog like great tufts of eider down clinging close to the earth, following some invisible stream or floating above a wooded lake. The fields nearby descending toward the valley were of an intense emerald, vivid and strange in contrast to the colors of sky and hills. Absorbed in contemplation of these splendors something drew the gaze to the east, and there in all its brilliancy, its beauty of color and symmetry of form, hung the great arch of a rainbow against the inky clouds behind, its colors now deepening and burning with increasing luster. - In the west the amber streaks changed to crimson then to gold. The sky glowed like living Hame. Long the gaze was held spellbound by the never-to-be- forgotten scene. Then the scarlet and violet hues melted little by little to a shade as delicate as a lilac blossom. The emerald of the fields slowly dimmed, the rainbow faded till only the ends could be seen above the horizon, as the great wheel of the sun sank 'behind a mountain peak. 'When only a narrow rim of gold still showed, it seemed to pause an instant to bid the darkening world a last good night, before it sank to rest, then with a few parting shafts of light it dropped from sight, its lingering refiection on the sky above slowly, slowly, fading away into night. M. A. S., ,I2. 208A THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 A Story of the Messalonskee Dip, dip, dip sounded the paddles in regular cadence as our canoe glided over the placid stream. lt was a beautiful day in early june, a gentle breeze was fanning the leaves just enoug'h to produce a mysterious rustling, birds were sing- ing an almost endless song, and sunshine made the water sparkle and glitter before us. As we moved along, sometimes we saw a wooded space where dark ever- greens and pines raised their somber branches to the sky, or an open field or an orchard whence was wafted to us the delicate perfume of the apple blossoms, or a rocky pasture where little lambs were frolicking and skipping about in the delight- ful sunshine, This was one of Lowellfs perfect daysi' such as come early in June. ' It was not the voice of Nature that seemed to be speaking on this afternooon, but the voice of the Messalonskee. Many stories it told, many long forgotten legends, and secrets entrusted to its keeping, and often it told of college students who had come there seeking amusement and rest. Sometimes the stories were weird and fanciful, .sometimes thrilling and venturesome, but most often romantic and frivolous. Here is one of the stories which it told. One day in june a fevv years ago on an afternoon not unlike the one on which we were enjoying our trip, a young boy and girl came slowly paddling up the stream. Happy indeed they seemed as they drifted along, enjoying the beautiful scenery, chattering gaily of everything. The boy was noble and manly with a deep, thoughtful expression in his eyes as he looked upon the fairy-like figure of the maiden opposite him. She always seemed bubbling over with mirth and jollity, nothing could possibly make her serious to-day. Always the expression of her face was changing as some one thing pleased her more than the others or as the boy said something nicer than before to her. And so they floated on, a happy pair content with everything around them and forgetting all except themselves. , They passed thickly wooded spots, open fields, high cliffs and often appeared to be gliding over the tops of the very trees which were reflected in the azure water, until they came to an ideal pine grove, where they neared the shore, made the canoe secure and stepped forth upon a slippery carpet of pine needles. A lit- tle spring sparkled and danced among the rocks, urging them to partake of its refreshing waters. For awhile they wandered about aimlessly until they espied a tiny hut alone by itself in a distant field. I-Iither they turned their steps from idle curiosity. Too engrossed were they to notice that the sun did not shine so brightly, and that the breeze had increased its strength, and the sky was blackened by heavy thun- der-clouds. 1911 TI-IE COLBY ORACLE 209 Just as they came near enough to see that the hut was inhabited, a sharp clash of thunder deafened their ears, and a bright Hash of lightning burst upon them. The rain began to fall in big drops. Nothing was left for them to do but seek refuge in the tiny house. Boldly they knocked on the rickety door, and after what seemed a long interval it was pushed open a little way, and a gray-haired, piercing-eyed old man looked out. Seeing them he said grufliy Why do you come here F The boy answered and ungraciously the door swung open a little farther and the old man with a quaint motion toward the one room, bade them Enter l Then they went into the living-room, dining-room, and bed-room of the little hut, combined. A fire burned on the hearth and evidently the little old man was preparing his supper. Deliberately and without a word he continued to spread the table for three persons and brought forth his simple fare. The boy and girl were loath to eat, but he looked so angrily at them when they dared to refuse that with only one murmured We are not hungry! they seated themselves before the table. Then the old man became sociable and as their fear Hed conversation brightened the meal. As the storm had now ceased they started to go, when the old man said Nay, stay, good friends. No one who enters this hut can ever go out from its door before he has learned the mystery of his future life. Some people .say I am a wizard, but T am only a fortune-teller. Be seatedli' Immediately he began mixing a mysterious lotion, and brought forth a dingy pack of cards. After all had taken his share of the mixture the fortune-teller began to shuffle the cards. From the up-turned pile, he read of their past, of their college days, and of the present time. Then he stopped, shuffled the cards, laughed loudly, slapped his sides and laughed even more uproariously. Fate, said he, has much of happiness in store for you both, if you listen to Cupid's voice and journey through life together as you have done this afternoon. 'Tis the voice of love that calls, hearken ye ! And so the old man ended and the boy and girl knew his words were true. The stars were slowly peeping out from the ,clouds when the two lovers .strolled from the lonesome hut to the stream once more. June IQ Rev. 'Woodman Brad-bury, D.D.

'Well, Bun, called a little, dark fellow, how you making it ? just like peaches and cream, was the answer, and Bun, the big, sleek- looking football hero, squared his shoulders with a most complacent twist, and blew out of his mouth, a long curl of wavering cigarette smoke. Any prizes P queried joe, a good-looking fellow who knew just how well he looked in his finely tailored dress-suit. Prizes! Well 1 should say, exclaimed Bun. Then, after a pause, 'fSay, boys, any of you got dances with Miss Lovell? The best ever, and 1'm getting in fine, one more dance and l'll- ,He stopped short and left the end of his ambi- tion and prospects to be merely surmised by his friends. But this blank left so expressively incomplete did not appeal to the best wishes of one of the group. This was King, the one fellow in the Freshman Class who took unto himself the honor of being the only genuine lady-killerf, There was a spark of scorn and green envy in King's eye as he listened to this conver- sation. He himself had had one or two dances with Miss Lovell, and he was not quite insusceptible to the charm of her beauty, the wit of her conversation and the bliss of her dancing. But somehow he was not satisfied with results, with him- self, and it rankled with him. After a minute he spoke, in soft, drawling, almost sneering tones. Made quite a hit, did you? Well, old man, donyt rise too high on your own credit, Miss Lovell isn't the kind to become captivated by one poor devilis danc- ing. Be careful not to tread on her little slippers with your hoofsf' Then he laughed, duly appreciative of his own scorn. Never mind, Kingf' said Bun. Just you wait. 1 tell you l'm coming fine. Une more dance and Miss Lovell will be-mine for the Military Hop next month. Mine with a kiss l He laughed, half with excitement, half with his own bold- ness, and the whole crowd laughed. Now, aren't you going a bit fast ? called foe. Well, don't weep if you don't succeed, advised Hemp. just then Squib came round the corner and joined the bunch. VVhat's up now, fellers P he asked. Squib was a real sport, always ready for excitement and always ready to take a chance. 'fQh, volunteered King, 'fBun here, is .smitten-Miss Lovell you know- says he will kiss her to-night-and seal the contract for the next dance. But then, Bun, you know, is noted for being an ambitious man. Verily, he hath ambition. Squib laughed. Howdy, old boy. He turned to Bun and eyed him care- fully from head to foot. When are you going to do the kissing?' 212 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 Bun was truly excited now and he drew himself up to the fullest expansion of his six feet three, and looked about. ' 1 have her on the second waltz before intermission, he said. I will do the kissing then or Iill give you five dollars, sir, and he smiled blandly at King. ls it a go Pi' And we will take your word, I suppose ?,' queried King. - In the library, 1'll do it and you fellows can sit on the veranda and witness, then 1'll cough up the five or you' will, he said. Take you upf' King answered. And 1, too,' said Squib. So it went among the ive fellows and each put up his five dollar bill against Bun, and Bun turned complacently toward the dance hall whence floated the soft, dreamy strains of the second waltz before intermission. The fellows remained behind to discuss prospects and watch. just a little while did they wait before they saw .Bun come into the library with Miss Lovell leaning on his arm. He bent over toward her as they strolled in and laughed at what she was whispering to him from behind her fan. Over to the cozy corner they went and sat clown. Breathless the boys on the veranda watched. He was talking now and slowly his bi:g mouth spread into a huge, expansive smile. He leaned toward her, just an instant, the boys stand motion- less, nearer to her face he came-then, all of a sudden, he straightened up again and .she went on talking to him. The fellows smiled. Ye gods, murmured Squib, I thought my five was a goner that time l . I Then, so calmly and quietly that it seemed nothing but the natural course of events, Bun took Miss Lovell into his arms and kissed her. Ye gods ! breathed Squib the second time, but King spoke not a word. Already the ,stirring notes of the next two-step broke upon the air and Bun and Miss Lovell disappeared into the hall beyond. But the next minute Bun was with them, laughing and gallantly bowing to each one in turn. Your Honor, the five is mine, I believef' he said. One after the other, five crisp five-dollar banknotes were handed over to him. Twenty-ive dollars, for just that, they sighed. No, was the answer, only fifteenfl Fifteen, how so? Five hves make twenty-five. Yes, but ten of it :goes to Miss Lovell, he smiled, and quietly tucked the notes away into his vest pocket. L. E. W., ,I2. June 21 Senior Class Day.

Of course the Deke boys must have a fussing racket to soothe their tired brainsg to have a few fast-fleeting hours with the co-ordsg' and to talk about the weather. And a Hfussing racket it was. Some sat about the card tables enjoying whist, others tripped the light fantastic toe to the merry music, while still others, those who disdained the gaze of the staring public, sought out cozy corners and talked of exams QFD just passed. College rules were forgotten and the party made merry until the midnight hour. And then fond farewells had to be said and just a short moonlight stroll to Foss Hall ended the last Hfussing bee of the year. Then in the wee small hours, with silence and mystery all about, a new society was formed -within the walls of the Deke House. One by one the boys arrived after bidding the fair one good night, and many retired to the pasture. ' Such was the case of an underclassman known as f'VVhit. His regular abode was North College, but as there were plenty of spare cots at this House, he decided to be social and accept of the kindly hospitality of the boys. Geben,,' that royal entertainer, played the part of host, fitted our friend out with the necessary accoutrements for a nightis repose and ushered him up to bed. And then and there VVhit'i proceeded to sleep the sleep of the just. But all the boys were not in a frame of mind for gentle slumber, and it happened that T was one of that number. To be sure all prepared to retire, for pajamas and night shirts were more conducive to coolness on a June night anyway. A dozen boys sat down about the tables and tried their hands at bid whist. They were a lively crowd all right, but whist was not quite active enough. So we retired to the music room, Royden K. officiated at the piano and the merry waltz was on. The varied costumes and the more varied antics made one think of some Indian war-dance. There was a rollicking time until I.3O A. M., and then Nature apparently asserted herself and a motion was made and carried for an adjournment. ':Blakie led the procession up stairs and at the topmost landing the boys dispersed to their respective rooms, but not for long. Blakie had discovered to his amazement that some outsider was on his downy couch and that innocent offender was none other than Wliit. Those who had lately marched up to roost were summoned downstairs again, and a society was organized with Blakie as its honored president. All present were acknowledged as charter members and then measures were taken to secure new men. A vote was unanimously passed to extend that first honor to lfVhit and preparations were made for a suitable initia- tion. ' The bath tub was Hlled with sparkling drops from China Lake and a commit- tee was sent upstairs to inform Whit of the honor about to be conferred on him. 214 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 He was rather rudely awakened and told of the elaborate preparations in his behalf. Qf course he was very profuse in his thanks, but declined the invitation. tHe is somewhat retiring in his disposition anyway.j However, it was impressed upon him that it was better to go in peace than in pieces and he followed the com- mittee down stairs in a manner very much like a lamb going to the slaughter. In the bath room he was balanced on the edge of the tub, was given a last chance to send messages to his loved onesg and after the chaplain of the society had made a fervent prayer there was a grand splash. The writer will leave it to your imagination to picture our friend Whit as he came to the surface and struck out for shore. VVhen he was safely landed he was informed where he might find bath towels and he was told to make preparations to resume his broken sleep. However, he was first asked to name another fellow worthy to become a member of the august assembly. After a short deliberation he named our friend, Chapman. Thereupon applause rent the air and made the rafters ring and a committee was appointed to fish and if possible pledge Mr. Chapman. The committee soon reported, and Chappie's mighty form was seen to loom up in the darkness at the head of the stairs with a stalwart body-guard about him. But there was nothing lamblike in his countenance. To the con- trary, his actions impressed me more as a pig going to his destruction. However, he came down stairs kicking and squealing and in the due process of time he was well ducked. Upon emerging from the HQO Chappie divested himself of his apparel and proceeded to scatter showers of blessing upon the waiting congrega- tion. Then standing in our midst and wearing the smile that won't come Off CBy the way that was all that didn't come offj, he proceeded to make a very impressive speech. He thanked the company for the signal honor shown him and waxing warm in eloquence he finished with the climax Say, fellows, why in blazes don't you 'rough house' the --- that started the rumpus ? Chappie didn't mention any names, but a committee was immediately appointed to fish and, if possible, pledge Mr. Gibbs. Geben was awakened from his slum- bers and straightway he acquiesced in our demands. Now Geben couldn't play the part of either wool producer or a porker, but he just came down as plain Geben. He wasn't exactly mad but he was very much vexed, so much so that he uttered never a word. His cold plunge was not even enough to break his silence. He submitted graciously, bowed his appreciation and after a hasty rub down, he donned another .suit and went back to peaceful slumber and undisturbed dreams. Well, the boys had had enough for one night and were well pleased with their new members and the progress of their society. The stop on the artificial lake was pulled and the waters which la short tim.e before were so turbulent, rapidly recededg a few hasty swishes of a mop absorbed the H20 upon the floor and the bath-room again wore its usual appearance. A motion to adjourn was made and carried and forming in single Hle the boys marched up to bed, singing, A band of brothers in D. K. E. we march along to-night. And peace and quietness reigned supreme. ' R. E. B., '12. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 215 Opinions CLetter from a Sophomore crush of Miss Margaret Kendrie's to a mutual friendj SEPTEMBER 27th, I9-. DEAR OLD ALICE 1- E Probably Margaret Kendrie has described all her experiences thus far, 'neath Nelsons classic maples, but l'll bet a box of my room-mate's fudge that she hasn't told you all the details of the Freshman Reception. Margaret is a clear and a peach and just an angel-brick, as the girls say Qand, privately, the Delta Chils think she is just greatj, but well, Alice, she doesn't tell some things to anybody. - The reception this year was in Barton Hall, that great, big brick building in the middle of Nelson Campus. The maples around it are Hery scarlet and you get the prettiest view of the campus, down the Seniors' Stroll, across our dormi- tory lawns, way over to Silver Lake. T never saw the trees look lovelier than they do, this fall. And inside the old rooms looked ever so pretty with all the differ- ent college banners. There were crowds of pretty girls around and I don't deny that some of the men were quite ornamental. Of course, the Freshmen were out in full force. There are lots of pretty girls in the class 'but not one sweeter-look- ing than Margaret. She was all in white and her dark, curly hair fell around her face. It never seemed prettier to me. She has such a shy, gentle way, too. Everybody looked at her and, oh, wasn't I proud that I knew her! Lots of the Freshmen boys seemed eager to make her acquaintance and some of them seemed ever so nice but one,-well, she was just Margarets sort. Tall and dark and good-looking, older than some of the others, with something in his manner, well, I can't just tell you how it is, but he seemed a complement to Mar- garet's looks and ways. lfVell, after he was introduced, he fairly took posses- sion of Margaret, and l scarcely saw her again. Lots of the girls noticed it. Margaret and he went out on the balcony off the English room, to see the campus by moonlight. Nelson College .got a long inspection that night. Nan, he came home with Margaret and he has been to call once since and they are going to the theatre to-night! He must be in a terrible state of crush. He is awfully nice, though.

Oh, to sit up here in my room, day after day, and watch the girls go out in crowds, always laughing and having such a good time, while I sit here alone! It is an interesting occupation to watch others who are happy, while one's self is wretched and lonely. Studying? Yes, but I didn't come to college just for the Latin and French, for I thought that I could grow' to be like other girls and not be always my stiff, awkward self! But it is just the same here as it was at home. Always misunderstood, never appreciated! Yesterday morning was so wet and grey and rainy and I felt just like the weather. I thought about my uncongenial mother and the way the girls treat me, until I was ready to cry. Coming down the steps from the Library, I saw Margaret Kendrie ad Frank Murray standing there by the college gates. It was raining hard, but they didn't seem to know it. They stood right in the middle of a puddle, talking as though they hadnit seen each other for a year. Yes, I know that he has been absent a month, on account of his father's death. But they were so self-absorbed! I felt the old left-out sensation again. There's no place for m.e anywhere. Everybody likes a girl like Margaret Kendrie, even if she hasnjt any brains to speak of,-nothing but a slim, pretty figure and curly hair. She is popular, always on committees, class president,--a Delta Chi, from the minute she entered college. Everybody admires her. Frank Murray has danced attention on her, ever since she came. At parties, dances, receptions, he is always with her. As for canoe- ing and walks, and snowshoeing,-much she cares for rules! How I hate such people! Always happy and contented, no matter how others feel! If she could just be scrawny and brown and ugly like me, for a little while, she would lose her self-satisfaction. And he is big and strong and healthy. I wish he could feel tired and nervous and full of aches for just once! I-Iow I hate them! They are of the happy natural order of things and I am morbid, jealous, wretched!- CA letter written by Miss Olive Wa.lker, Nelson correspondent of The Suf- fragette IfVeekly, and president of the college society of suffragettesj.

Earnestly have we striven to free the darkened minds of the college girls from fettering notions of feminine vanity. Especially in their relations with men we have sought to instruct and uplift them. At times We have felt, encouraged but again, despair seizes us when we see what slight impression our words have miade upon some!

She seemed deeply thought- ful, when I told her that each of us had promised to remain single for, at least, ten years after graduation, in order that we might spread our glorious ideas. I could see that she did not sympathize with our movement. She very quietly withdrew to the company of more congenial, if less thoughtful, companions and has avoided all discussion with me. She is very intimate with a young man who is Qpresumablyj, studying here. At least, his name is on the Nelson roll of juniors. But his time seems to be spent mainly in calling upon Miss K- . It is dillicult to imagine what pleas- ure two such selfish young people could have in each other's company! VVith- out the stimulus of a high and noble Cause, like ours,,life would be dreary. Our only happiness lies in labour for the public. Wotild that our sister-women could appreciate our toil! Though deeply disappointed in the case of Miss K-l, I am not discouraged.

QA letter of a Nelson alumna, Marion Ellis, to an old classmate, for whom she describes impressions of Commencement Dayj. JUNE 2211, IQ4. My DEAR EM1LY:- Am 1 glad or sorry to be here, again? I hardly know which feeling is strongest, when I look out over the green campus and see the gray, old college walls brightened by the ivies of a hundred graduating classes. So many things are just as they were in our day, but strange faces and strange voices and new cus- toms !-No, l shouldn't care to visit Nelson commencement every year. It hurts, somehow. Of course, you have heard the Delta Chi girls say that Margaret Kendrie was to graduate this year. You must have heard, too, about the devoted attachment of Frank Murray, which has lasted during the four years that they have been in college. Everybody has expected to hear of their engagement and we thought that matters would surely be settled by the time they graduated. 218 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 But things have turned out rather disappointingly for a lover of romance. I saw them together at the Senior Hop and you can't guess how proud l was of Margaret. She looked so sweet and girlish! She hasn't the dignity of a senior and 1 don't think she ever will attain it. She is just a very nice, pretty little girl. Mr. Murray was so nice-looking and seemed so devoted, too! 1 felt like con- gratulating him, whenever I looked at her. They seemed so representative of old Nelson. V 1 thought of them both, as 1 was strolling around the campus during the con- cert before Commencement Day. It was not very dark, anyway, and there were long strings of Japanese lanterns from one college building to another. 1 saw Mr. Murray coming eagerly toward a slim, white figure, dressed all in white, with roses in her hair. And 1 was just drawing a romantic sigh,-when a big, dark, oldish man stepped out from behind the maples and came up to Margaret, with long strides. He had a suitcase in his hand and seemed to have just arrived. 1 knew that he wasn't Margaret's father or brother and so was completely sur- prised at the sequel. My dear, that girl actually threw her arms around the stranger's neck,-and, well, it seemed best for old maids and undergraduates to retire from the spot. Poor Mr. Murray! He was fairly overwhelmed with surprise, when Margaret Kendrie turned to him and introduced her fiance, Mr. Richard Brown, or Green, or something equally unromantic. He muttered something incoherent C1 don't believe it would have been safe to inquire just what it wasj, and beat a hasty retreat, as Mary jane Holmes would say. Margaret and her friend were left alone and I tvery soonj, saw them making their way Cquite deliberatelyj, down Seniors' Stroll. Well, that's the end of a romance, I suppose. Margaret Kendrie, for all her smooth, little-,girl ways, is just a flirt. I hear that she and Mr.Brown are to be married soon. I hope Mr. Murray will get over it, all right. How could she have had the heart to flirt like that? I don't believe Mr. Brown knows anything about it. l have been disappointed in Margaret. But whats the use of talking? One can't rely upon opinions, in some matters. Your affectionate classmate, MARION ELLIS.

W., ,I2. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 219 A Commencement Episode Commencement week was at hand. For days the weather had been unusually line, and Nature gave a renewed promise of golden sunshine and gorgeous beauty in the week to come. All students look forward to their commencement week with eager eyes, and to all graduates their commencement week is a distinct milestone in their lives. This is their last week, their perfect week, spent under the shadow of their Alma Maier. Soon the doors are to be opened wide and they must go out, each Hghting for his or her place in the world. Dick Norton was feeling especially lonely as he watched his room-mate, Harold Dent, getting ready to meet his parents and sister who were coming on the afternoon train. Dick's father and mother had both died when he was a small boy, and he had lived rather a lonely and desolate childhood with his grandfather and an elderly maiden aunt. These two good, but rather indifferent relatives had died, leaving Dick the possessor of a comfortable fortune. However, he was alone in the world, with no relatives and very few close friends. Never had he felt so lonely and in need of friends as now. He dumbly realized as never before that there were things money could not buy. His class- mates were all busy with their guests, but he had no one of his own to take an interest in him, no one whom he could ask to his commencement, no one to be his guest for this Hperfect weekf, Say, Dick, old man! VVake up! 1 want you to come along with me. You know the folks are coming and 1 want you to go to the station too. Come on, Ch hang! come on and stop your talking. 'We haven't time for any arguments now so you might's well get a move on !'l The station platform was crowded and the incoming train was almost jammed. After several delays the Dents descended to the platform. Dick had met both Mr. and Mrs. Dent before, and they greeted him warmly. After their greetings were over Harvey grasped his friends arm and said: Dick, this is my sister Nell, and Dick found himself bowing to the prettiest girl he had ever seen. 1 feel as if 1 knew you quite well indeed, Mr. Norton. Harvey is always telling us of you, said the vision. Dick Hushed with pleasure and embarrassment. Suddenly a thought passed through his mind: Perhaps this would be a happy week anyway, That night Harvey told Dick his plans for entertaining his guests and to these plans Dick added some of his own. The next day Dick found himself delegated to take Miss Dent canoeing. Secretly he was much elated at the thots of the trip. Nell proved herself a delightful companion and a true sportswoman. All that week they were constant companions and Dick soon found himself telling Nell some of his most secret thots and deepest longings and Nell was always sympathetic. Wlieii the time for departure came the clouds began to lower again. Dick felt his old despondency returning little by little. As the last farewells were being said Dick took Nell's hand saying as he did so: Miss Nell, 1 want to thank you for being so kind to me, and helping me to enjoy my last few days here at college in the way 1 have. You can never know 220 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 what it has meant to me to have some one who understood-even a little- some of my yearnings and desires. To me, almost an entire stranger, you were-but why am I telling you all this-it is nothing to you, you do not care. I can simply thank you for your kindness to me. A flush rose to the girl's forehead yet she lifted her eyes to his face and said, almost in a whisper: But I do care V' Forlone amazed moment Dick stared at the girl, suddenly he stooped and kissed her, then turned and hurridly left the group. His perfect week had come-and gone, and with it the lowering clouds. Before him lay the Future, 'bright and beautiful to behold. M. E. I., 513. What Summer Means to Me To me summer means a season of long, glad days, ushered in by sunny mornings, gay with the twitter of birds darting from branch to branch, lightly poised for a moment, pouring forth their tribute of praise to the great creation. It means the quiet shade of some wide-branching tree, when the sun sends down its fiercest rays, the cool of the forest with here and there a glint of brightness darting down through the thick, dark branches to the pine carpet beneath. Again-it rneans the long, bright afternoons, while the sun retreats farther and father toward its evening goal, until at last the day ends in a sudden glory of sunset color, bathing the whole earth in its radiance. There is som.ething in the twilight that brings peace, a fitful peace, broken by old longings and the remem- brance of other summer days and other twilights that vanished just as silently and just as quickly, merged into the mystery of the night. Who is there who has not felt something of all this, the glory of a summer's day, the majesty of a sum- mer's night, calling up the.old, old wonderment as to what it all means. The ceaseless struggle to do and to be, the overwhelming realization of man's puny strength as compared with the mighty forces of N ature? Who can combat this insistent questioning, as he watches the last beams of the setting sun dying into purple and gold lined darkness in the west, and feels the silent forces of night twining her dusky fingers closely and still more closely about him? It is hard to believe that in a few hours morning with all her beauty and fragrance, will return, bringing with her a troop of Hitting bees and butterfiies. I wonder if we ever stop to think that the violet, the daisy, the willow, the pine, all these children of Nature are continually striving to :get nearer Heaven. It may be inbut a tiny way, the violet may nod its purple petals but a few inches above its grassy bank, while the pine may stretch up and up till its green branches wave hundreds of feet above in the clear sunlight. Yet, after all, both are fulfill- ing their parts in lifeys struggle. If the violet were borne high up among the pine branches, earth would have lost just that much of sweetness and beauty, and the pine, were it lying by the violet on the bank, would have become but a stumbling- block in the passer's way, stripped of all glory and dignity. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 221 So we find it all through the summer days-Nature reveals herself to us clearly, silently, in a thousand wonderful ways, spea-king in a language that thrills us by its hidden power, yet withal, beautiful through its very simplicity. There is a spontaneous gladness, an overflow of joy in these summer hours that reaches deep downi into tired peoples hearts and implants fresh life and courage there. Someone has put this feeling into song in a way that prose cannot give utter- ance to. H Pleasant it was, when woods were green, And winds were soft and low, To lie amid some sylvan scene, Wlie1'e, the long drooping boughs between, Shadows dark and sunlight sheen Alternate come and go. And dreams of that which cannot die, Bright visions come to me, As, lapped in thought, I used to lie, And gaze into the summer sky, Wll61'C the sailing clouds went by Like ships upon the sea. E. A.

The mild, the fierce, the stony face, Some bright with thoughtless smiles and some Where secret tears have left their tracef, 222 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 He gives us two lovely stanzas which tell of the joys and sorrows of the Freshmen in the toils of calf-love: If And some to happy homes repair, VVhere children pressing cheek to cheek Witli mute caresses shall declare The tenderness they cannot speak. KK And some who walk in calmness here Shall shudder as they reach the door, VVhe1'e one who made its dwelling dear, Its flower, its light, is seen no moref, Nor does he forget the town girls and their wiles. H Keen child of trade with eager bro-w! Who now is fluttering in thy snare? Thy golden fortunes tower they now, Cr melt the glittering spires in air?', The club house and Elks' Hall are not forgotten, for he says: Wl1o of this crowd to-night shall tread The dance till daylight beam again ! just before the close there is a stanza which rolls into one horriblepicture of misery the Foss Hall board and the Hersey house lodgings: Some, famine struck, shall think how long The cold, dark hours, how slow the light, And some, who Haunt amid the throng, Shall hide in shameful dens to-nightfl The poet who could paint such realistic College Avenue scenes must have had a true poetic gift. Just think how long this masterpiece lay misunderstood and neglected until one of the young ladies in the Course in English Poetry unearthed it and brought it to our notice. We would publish the young lady's name, but since she was too modest to publish it we will not inflict publicity upon her. However, we take great delight in presenting to the public this masterpiece of Williain Cullen Bryant.

This is a day set aside for the purpose of getting acquainted with ourselves and our alumni. This year it proved to be one of the best the college has ever known. The great growth of the college in the past three years has given rise to an increased spirit and enthusiasm between the stu- dent body of this year and the student bodies of other years. ' The exercises began at 8.30 P.M., being opened by President Roberts. The excellent programme was as follows: I Selection College Orchestra Opening VVelcome President Roberts Song-in honor of Hon. A. C. Hinds Glee Club Address Hon. Asher C. Hinds Address W. C. Crawford, '83 Cheer Up Mary Qsongj Harry McDevitt, Cf. A. Gould Address Prof. John Hedman Colby, AZ-ma Mater Dear Glee Club Address E.,B. Gibbs, '88 Address Capt. R. R. Rogers Address Coach Harry McDevitt At the close of the program refreshments were served and a general good time was enjoyed by all. Colby has entered upon a new era and we are glad to note that it has been extended beyond the bounds of the Colby Campus. .The committee under the leadership of Prof. Hedman deserve a great deal of credit for the hard work expended to make this the most perfect Colby Day in the memory of those who attended the first of these delightful occasions. June 22 Commencement Day. Exercises in the Baptist Church. Circus parade competes for honors of the day. Annual Commencement Dinner. Band Concert. The college year comes to an end. 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 225 I Colby Day Colby Day for the XNOl116l1,S Division passed -off remarkably well. There were many guests at Foss Hall for both afternoon and evening, and all possible arrangements were made for their enjoyment. In the afternoon, the Freshmen gave a drill in Indian costumes, a very pleasing feature of which was an Indian song by Marjorie Scribner. At the close of the drill, the Freshmen opened the door of an Indian tepee in the middle of the stage disclosing the Sophomore and Freshman. Class presidents, and according to the Colby day custom the Fresh- man president was crowned. The Sophomore's drill which followed was very attractive with japanese parasols in the class colors. The last event of the afternoon was the Sophomore-Freshman basketball game which resulted in a victory for IQI3.

September 20 Second Entrance Examinations begin, 9.00 A.lVI. Campus green with Fresh- men. VV'hat shall we do with them all? 226 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 The New Dormitory for Men At the psychological moment the surprise was sprung: ground was broken for the new men's dormitory. It was during the visit of about sixty preparatory school men who were in attendance at the Lyford Speaking Contest, and of course the influence was very magnetic for Colby. Not only was it a surprise to the visitors, but also to the students and the faculty, and even the newspapers. You ought to have seen the look of surprise on the face of the Waterville Sentinel man when he came on the campus. The contract was awarded to L. E. Bradstreet RQ Sons, Hallowell, Maine. Two days later, May 5th, the first shovelful of earth was turned, and the work had commenced. It is hoped that the building will be ready for occupancy by the middle of next September. It seemed a pity that the site selected made it necessary to cut down six of our large elm trees, Colby's pride and glory. But all things have to go when pros- perity moves forward. The location is between North College and the Gymnasium, the front facing College Avenue, and set about fifty feet from the front line of North College. The building will be ninety feet long and forty-three feet wide, and will be three stories high. The material will be of brick, with facing of artificial stone, and the roof will be of slate. The first fioor will contain hve suites and toilet, and a large assembly room g there will also be a large piazza on the front of the building. The second and third fioors will have each eight rooms. The building will furnish accommodations for forty-five men. It will be heated from a boiler room adjoining. The cost is estimated at about f25,000. ' May old Colby continue to grow until even with the new dormitory there will not be room enough to hold all her students. September 21 First Semester begins with faculty meeting at Chemical Hall.

The flames were confined to the southern portion of the building, which served as a chapter house for the Delta Upsilon fraternity. Nearly all of the personal belongings of the students who roomed in this end were consumed, with no insur- ance to cover the loss. The loss of property which belonged to the chapter house was partly covered by an insurance of 9'pI,ooo. The loss on the building was about 3I0,000, partially covered by insurance. , Chaplin Hall Photo by Judge Every member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity was at Augusta in attendance upon a joint banquet with the Bowdoin chapter at the Augusta House, and there is no idea in their minds as to how the fire originated. The hrst alarm was rung in at about 8.15 BM., and the fire department responded quickly, but the flames had gained such headway that a total loss was evident. Thanks to the fire wall of brick between the northern and southern por- tions of the building, the former was saved intact, but the latter was completely gutted and twenty men were deprived of rooms and all they contained. ' Next to the suddenness of the calamity itself, the unfortunate students will remember the kindness of Mr. Emerson of the Augusta House, who tendered 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 229 them free entertainment forthe night, and also the .generosity of the citizens of Waterville, who rendered speedy aid, both in opening their homes for free enter- tainment, and in pecuniary contributions. No sooner had the facts Concerning the Hre became known about town, than immediate offers of assistance were made from all sides. All Saturday evening and Sunday, President Arthur J. Roberts was constantly being called to the telephoneby citizens and friends of the college, who volunteered entertainment, supplies, and money. President Roberts receipted the semester bills of the unfortunate men, and over S5500 was at once subscribed by some of the representative men of the city. Mr. Kelliher volunteered the free use of the Opera House and some of his best vaudeville acts for a benefit concert for the men who suffered lossby the fire. A committee was appointed among the other fraternities to arrange for such a concert, and in connection with the Glee Club of the college such a concert was given and a :goodly sum of money was realized. i Colby students have certainly been treated ioyally by the citizens of Water- ville at all times, and this recent catastrophe only goes to demonstrate the bond of good feeling which exists between the college and the city. The ORACLE wishes to express its appreciation of this fact, and to thank the citizens of Wfater- ville for their loyalty and kindness. September 22 Registration of Students. Freshmen wander around like ships without rud- ders, and nearly drive the upperclassmen to drink. 230 THE COLBY ORACLE 1911 Our New Professors HOMER PAYSON L11'1L13, PHD. . VVe are glad to welcome into our circle of professors Dr. Little. He gradu- ated from VVilliams College with the degree of AB. and followed this with a four years? course at johns Hopkins, receiving here the degree of Ph.D. with Phi Beta Kappa honors. - During the summer of 1907 he worked on the United States Survey on coal explorations in VVy0-ming. During the summers of 1908 and 1909 he was engaged in work on the Maryland State Geological Survey. . f Dr. Little has taken the department of geology and has won the regard and confidence of all who have the pleasure of coming into contact with him. We sincerely hope that Dr. Little will find the work so pleasant and to his liking that he will feel able to remain with us for some time to come. BENJAMIN EDWARD CARTER, A.M. Another addition to our departments is Prof. Carter who has taken the department of Drawing. Prof. Carter graduated from Harvard in 1890 and later from the Harvard Graduate School. At the former he received his degree of A.M. He specialized in Mathematics. He was an instructor in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of the American Mathematical Society. I Colby is certainly fortunate to have acquired the services of so competent a man as Prof. Carter, for she has gained not only an efficient professor in the class room, but a perfect gentleman whom it is a pleasure to meet outside. HARVEY VV. PECK, PHD. Harvey W. Peck, Ph.D., new instructor of English, was born at Warreii, Ohio, He was graduated from Oberlin College in the Class of 1905, with the degree of AB. ln 1905-6 he filled the position of Superintendent of Schools of Huntsburg, Ohio. The following year he received the degree of A.M. from Yale. He was assistant in English atthe University of Missouri in 1907-8 and during the past two years has been a graduate student of English at Harvard, receiving the degree of Ph,D. 1911 TI-IE COLBY ORACLE 231 1WORRIS EDMUND SPEAR, A.M. Morris Edmund Spear, AM., was born at St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1884. He was graduated from the English High School, Boston, 1902. In 1904 he entered Harvard College, from which he was graduated in 1909 with cum laude honors. He obtained his Masteris degree the following year and has passed the year IQOQ-IO in the Harvard Graduate School. He has taught in the Pay School, Southboro, Mass., and was Superintendent of the VVorkingman,s Institute of Boston, in the winters of 1906 and 1908. ' ROBERT WARNER CROWELL, A.M. Robert Warner Crowell, A.M., who comes to Colby as assistant professor of modern languages, was born at Amherst, Mass., and is the son of Prof. Crowell of Amherst, who two years ago retired from the Latin department of that insti- tution. He was graduated from Amherst High School in 1885, and matriculated at Amherst the following September, 'graduating in the Class of ,89 with the degree of A.B. and Phi Beta Kappa honors. He was one of the Commencement speakers. Going abroad he studied at the University of Goettingen and on his return took a year at Harvard, where he received the degree of A.M. A He taught Latin and Greek at Lincoln College, Lincoln, Ill., Latin and French at the Central High School, Columbus, Ohio g and Greek and German at Wayiiesbtirg College, Wayiaesbtirg, Pa. Prom March until june, 1909, he sub- stituted in the German department at the University of Maine and served on the faculty of VVilliams Coll-ege one full semester last year in the Department of German. Colby gives a cordial welcom-e to Prof. Crowell, who is the hfth addition to the faculty this year. E September 23 Recitations begin. Y. M. C. A. gives an informal reception to the - ' Freshmen boys.

The time table is a part of the constitution of the suburbanite. The secret of a good extemporaneous speaker is practicing a lot at home before you go. Hypocrisy is the most useful vice a man can have. You can't always tell what a man is by looking him in the eye, but you can by looking at the yellow between his fingers. Before a m-an indulges in the luxury of not being a hypocrite he should con- sider its effects on society. It would simplify life a good deal, if we simply set to one side the things we don't have to settle. And after all, those are the things about which we are most often excited. A man might conceivably be both a saint and a millionaire-providing he is the millionaire first. A lot of people spend their lives hunting after truth and they wouldn't know what to do with it if they found it. If any one has difficulty in visualizing the word dog, how can he see sausage? As hve men come into class late, Well, well! I called this roll once and nobody was absentfl The right kind of a parish will do a great deal for a preacher sometimes. Half the time old fogyism is pure laziness. There are plenty of people riding in automobiles who know perfectly well that the money ought to go for a missionary. Borrowing isn't so different from stealing as it seems. A remarkable brain is the most unimportant equipment for an education. Purpose and will are the essentials. Good English covers a multitude of sins in this world. I don't know about the next, though. The teacher who starts out with the idea that he is going to attempt an hon- est answer to every question invariably becomes an educational crook. l'd take more chances of judging a man by his clothes than by his face.

America's Opportunity Immigration is not a new subject, nevertheless it is now, and must be for some time to come, one of the nationls vital problems. In spite of the new restrictions, immigrants are still landing upon our shores at the rate of more than a million a year. Stop for just one moment and let your minds grasp the full significance of that statement,- that at present one in every ninety persons in the entire United States arrived from foreign shores within twelve monthsf, Immigration must be one of two things: America's opportunity, or America's doom. In proportion to our success in incarnating the American spirit into their lives, will it be our glorious opportunity. But if we fail to improve it as our opportunity and allow the foreign spirit to become dominant, it will only be a question of time before our doom is sealed. lt is hard for us to draw a distinct division between the Immigrant and the American 1 f'Scratch an American and you Hnd a fore,igner is an old and true say- ing. josiah Strong's dennition of an American should be taken as the test,- In this country every man is an American who has American ideals, the American spirit, American conceptions of life, American habitsfl - VVe probably all believe that there is need of some system by which undesir- able immigrants shall be kept out entirely. But according to the spirit of our Constitution we have no 'moral right to exclude them, unless they interfere with our own rights or tend to undermine the principles for which the nation stands. Certainly the immigrants have that right, common to all, to live and work in the place where they can receive the greatest recompense. The solution consists not in shirking our duty, by seeking to restrict them more and more, but in accepting them as a challenge to our ideals and civilization. Looking' at it in this light, we can see in the immigrant opportunities that are un- paralleled in the history of the world. To-day the United States is out-stretching all other nations in the business, commercial, and mechanical world. WVhat is the cause of this? Is it because a few English and Dutch settlers came here years ago, and their descendants have done all this? No! It is because the gates have been opened and the world has come in to help make a glorious nation, immigration more than any other one tl ' ff l male this countr what it is and immigration alone can make it all it nng ias 1 t y , can be. It is said that we get the scum of the old worldg in truth we get the cream, the working class. Over 4-5 of those that come are in the prime of life, between I5 and 45. In contrast to this, 39 per cent. of the native population are under the 234 TI-IE COLBY ORACLE 1911 productive age, that is, under 14. Thus, we see that as regards producing the wealth of the country the immigrants add more than the same number of natives of equal ability. Their home countries have borne the enormous expense of rais- ing them to the productive age 5 America without this expense reaps the benefits. It is said that the country is becoming crowded, this is not so, for it is less than one-tenth populated. But you say that they are not properly distributed. True, that is our greatest problem, but much is being done to solve it. A few years ago Robert 'VVatchorn, then Commissioner of Immigration at the Port of New York, gave out the following statement: N70 per cent. of the aliens arriving here this year went straight out west, out upon the open places where they were needed, 1875 to the New England states, and only IZZJ to New York. Further- more, he says, we are seeinzg to it that we get the right kind, and that we are getting the right kind I am certain. Consequently, I believe that in-creased immi- gration of the kind we are admitting makes for the national wealf, Some people say that there is not enough work, but the Bureau of Labor and Commerce dis- tinctly states that the supply of labor for the past few years has never been equal to the demand. Thus we see that immigration is not only an economic opportunity, but that it is also an economic necessity. To the student of social conditions, immigration furnishes the solution of the world's great social problems. These problems are world wide, they concern the people of every nationality, they are the sum total of the problems of all peoples. They cannot be solved in any European or Asiatic country, their traditions are against itg their forms of government are against it. These problems can only be solved by represenatives of all peoples, and in America is the only people formed of all races. I-Ience the worldis problems concentrate here. These problems cannot 'be solved by the Anglo-Saxon alone, :great and power- ful though he may be. They cannot be solved by any other single nation- ality, for each nation possesses special traits and characteristics, but no one nation possess enough of these necessary to solve the problems. Thus we go to Italy for music and art, to Germany for our high philos- ophy, to France for elegance of manner and finished thought, to England for prac- tical government,-and so on. But America is coming to possess all of these characteristics, and is fast becoming a world-wide cultured nation, and when that time comes she will work for the solution of these problems for the benefit of humanity at large. And with the practicability of the English, the bluntness and indomitable pluck of the Scotch, the wit and industry of the Irish, the brilliance and versatility of the French, the keenness and scientific ability of the German, the art and beauty that inspires the Italian, the commercialism of the Dutch, and 1911 THE COLBY ORACLE 235 the intelligence and business capacity of the jew,-she will solve these great world problems once and for all. Lastly, immigration is Americas moral and religious opportunity. In the immigrants American Christianity is accorded an opportunity to prove the vitality and transforming power of the Christian faith such as no other nation ever pos- sessed. It is a challenge to our zeal, our loyalty, and our devotion. lfVe have been sending missionaries at a great expense to foreign fields. Now God in his divine providence is sending the representatives of these lands to our shores. The ideal religious gathering was that at Pentecost. Here were gathered people from every nation to hear of God. These people then went back to their respective homes and told the wondrous story. Here in America, if every Christian does his duty, there might be a second Pentecost whose influence might extend with evangelical power over the whole world. It is our duty as a Christian nation to receive the worthy immigrant with open armsg to- welcome him to our freedomg to educate him in our schoolsg t-0 Christianize him by our faith. This is our God-given opportunity. America is the key to the evangelization of the world! XfVill she, or will she not, be faithful to her trust? A million immigrants! A million opportunities! A million obligations! September 25 First Sunday. It rains as usual. Freshmen go to church,-some for first and last time this year.

Ike was a little doubtful about the reception we had received-he seemed to think Prex was to be there and welcome him in person, so it was with some difhculty that he was persuaded to spend the night at one of the fraternity houses. Ike got up at half-past four the next morning, partly that he might not seem slothful and partly, so he admitted afterwards, to see whether or not his clothes had been swiped over night. For, he said, you can't tell what kind of a bunch they may be here. Y After breakfast we sallied forth and went up to see Prex about a room. Prex was more than cordial-we hadn't asked for time extension on our term bills yet-and went with us to pick out a room. After a good deal of prelim- inary dickering, we decided upon a room on the second floor and, as there was nothing to hinder, we took possession at once. What a lordly domain was ours! Pour bare walls, a .couple of cot-beds, a ventilator which would'nt work, and a line view of the pulp mill. Oh, yes, I nearly forgot, there was only one mat- tress and thereby hangs a tale. Ike was a thrifty soul, he had come from a country where the hens think twice before they lay, so I was not much astonished when he came and said that he had struck a bargain with Louis for another mattress. I bought a couple of cigars at that hash-house by the track for a nickel,', he said, and I kept one and gave the other to Louis. Louis thought it was great and he told me I could swipe a mattress at the I-Iersey House. ' You don't think I wasted the nickel, do you? I assured him that no doubt the nickel had gone for a worthy cause. lfVell, continued Ike, it's gone now, anyhow. But I went over to the Hersey House and got a corking mattress. It's a peach and lively, too. Trims yours all hollow. Lively, indeed! I should say it was! After a good deal of fussing, Ike got his bed made up and turned in. It didn't seem more than five minutes before I heard some wild yells from Ike. Get up, you lazy bed-hugger and help 'me kill bed bugs! The sight that met my sleep-heavy eyes was one to gladden the heart of Napoleon. In the middle of the floor stood my room-mate, his pajamas rolled up to his knees, a lighted electric bulb in his hand, while fore and aft, left side and right, the imps of iniquity charged and fled and charged again. Ike had a wild and woolly look, but in his eye there burned the fire of a deathless zeal. Lay on Macdufff' he howled with unholy glee, don't fire till you see the whites of their eyes, Left half over-look out for a fake. Balance your partners and promenade the hall. To borrow the phrase of a notedugeneral, the colored troops fought bravely, but at length the assault was repulsed and Ike stood a gory hero surrounded by heaps of corpses-all dead, every one of them. We chucked the offending mattress out the window and spent what was left of the night on my cot. Ike got a new mattress, not so lively as the other, but still good enough. It was a long time, however, before he forgave Louis for the loss of his two-for . and even to-day he sometimes says with a sigh: That was a good cigar. M. P.
