Wlith hearts full of grief we have been obliged to dedicate this ORACLE to the memory of him in whose honor we had planned to issue the book. Wfe cannot find words to express our sadness. or to tell you the love and admiration that we who knew him had for this capable and just teacher, this sincere and helpful friend, who was to us an object of hero worship In three years and a half we had heard no word of unfavorable criticism of Professor Hedman or of the courses he taught, which were among the most popular of the curriculum. In the class-room, on the campus, in the world outside the college, we found John Hedman a man respected and dearly beloved by his fellow-men. He was a man of keen judgment and remarkable reasoning power. He was a lover of all that is good and beautiful. He was an exceptional scholar,-a philosopher, a mathematician, a sound grammarian, a philologist, and an adept in phonetics. In his chosen held-the romance languages-he was an able critic. Above all, John Hedman was the highest type of Christian gentleman. NCE MORE we can say that Colby has had a prosperous year. The size of our college is constantly increasingg the standards are being advanced. Wfe think it safe to prophesy that in ten years Colby will no longer be spoken of as a small college. Our faculty is increasing in numbersg our popularity is steadily growing as knowledge of the college spreads over a widening area, the future spells prosperity and well-earned success for our Alma Mater. Vtfhen we seek the cause of our advance, we find it in the form 14 1914 T1-IE COLBY GRACLE 15 of our beloved President-Arthur Jeremiah Roberts. XfVe take great pride in looking back over the splendid traditions and accomplishments of our college. lfVith President Roberts in the chief executive's chair, no college in the country has in view a more glorious future than we, the students and graduates of Colby, have a right to expect. ft was not said in a spirit of boastfulness that we have the best president of any small college in the United States. Another factor in Colby's successful advance is the splendid spirit of our student body. Not only here in Maine, but wherever Colby has been repre- sented, mention of it is made. Qui' athletic teams fight hard and clean, and rep- resent the best type of American college sport. Wfliether we are winning or losing, every Colby man and Colby woman in the cheering section displays the spirit of the worthy victor or of the good loser. On the debating teams, in the musical clubs, and in all other college organizations, the Colby students serve their Alma Ilfater with the best that they can give her. There are a few skeptics who claim that fraternities are detrimental to the unified spirit and welfare of the college. NYe wish to challenge the statements of any such skeptics. Qur fraternities represent one common spirit and fellowship, the spirit and fellowship which are manifested to the public wherever Colby teams participate in any contest. No one or two fraternities uphold the honor of Colby in any organization. All render their support, and all are represented in accord- ance with the support that they render. X'X'e cannot, nor do we wish to, deny that there is sometimes political scheming on the part of a few during some of the col- lege elections. This cannot be prevented easily, and is bound to occur sometimes. But there is never any evidence that there is more than one interest and spirit representing the college. As in every other college, so here there are all types and classes of men, but all serve the best interests of the institution to the best of their abilities. In this issue of the ORACl,l2 we have attempted to improve upon the publi- cation of last year. Wfe are hopeful that we have succeeded, and that the result will meet with your approval. You will find that a few pages have been devoted to characteristic snapshots of the faculty. This is something entirely new, and we believe that these pages will prove of interest to everybody. They should make the QRACLE attractive to the professors, their wives and all their friends, Miss Steward has made the cuts and drawings more attractive than usual. Many other new ideas have been introduced this year, which will, we hope, make this edition more valuable to you than the last one. As we are under a great financial burden in publishing this book, we ask you to assist us by purchasing one or more copies. 1 16 Tl-TE CULBY ORACLE 1914 There has been considerable agitation for a new constitution for the fJRAL'l,IiI Association. Some believe that a more satisfactory method of placing the ORACLE in the hands of the students than the p-resent one can be secured. An examination of the new constitution which was submitted revealed many de- fects. The most important of these is this: The Association cannot receive an income adequate for publishing an CDRACLIE of the present grade by assessing each member ofa fraternity in the college the sum of two dollars instead of three dol- lars. Four-lifths of the present members of the ORAcLE Association are in favor of the system now followed, which has been a success. Xlle hope that the minority will discover the impossibility of their enterprise, and submit to the judgment of the majority. If the members of any fraternity cannot be content to conform to the present system without continual bickering, it is only just that they should withdraw from the Association It is high time for the non-frater- nity men to be represented in this publication. It is only necessary for them to take a subscription among their numbers, and guarantee the Okacitli Association a reasonable sale of ORACLES, and then the entire college can be included in our present annual. The QRACLE would render its share of praise to our football team. Captain Fraser has very reason to be proud of his men. They have shown in every game a grit and fighting power that has made some of the large colleges of New Eng- land fear them. They have fought to the finish in every game, no matter which way the tide was turning. The result has been very gratifying. We have no reason to complain. Although we did not win the championship, we have no reason to believe that our team was inferior to the winners. After such a con- test as the Maine-Colby game, we are quite proud of our team and its captain. The failure to win the pennant, in itself is immaterial, and causes no gloom. We will fight even harder next fall. Our baseball team played well, and did us credit last spring, athough they did not win the championship The victory over Harvard was one of the greatest triumphs in the history of Colby's athletics. Our freshman cross country team is to be congratulated upon the surprise they gave the other contestants in the meet at Andover. The relay team, consisting of Messrs. Bowen, Reynolds. Royal, and Golden, deserve high praise for winning the championship of the state at the recent B. A. A. Meet in Boston. The excellent spirit that has been manifested by our girls has certainly contributed to the success of our public representations. We wish to thank them once more for the beautiful banner that they presented to us last fall, 1914 T HE CO LBY O R AC LE 17 and also for their efforts in aiding us to make Colby Spirit what it is at the pres- ent time. The new courses in Public Speaking, Italian, Chemistry, Physics, Mathe- matics, Experimental Psychology, German, Spanish, and journalism greatly strengthen our curriculum. Colby is growing fast. The new Prizes and Scholar- sliips are all contributing to make Colby a better college. Lectures and frequent addresses are providing additional opportunities for mental development.

In every case some Senior, gifted with rhetorical ability, has made a heroic effort to prove to the world in general that his fellow-classmates were the most remarkable collection of youthful prodigies ever assembled in any one institution of learning. He extols their merits in a lengthy description and waxes enthusi- astic over their virtues, This effort being drawn out to sufhcient length, the writer believes his task accomplished. Thus it has ever been. But the present Senior Class history will depart from the ordinary custom and will take it for granted that the graduating Class of TQI4 has already im- pressed the public as the most able and remarkable class that ever passed out of old Colby's gates. Instead of dwelling upon this fact we will consider the causes that led up to this remarkable phenomenon. Four years at Colby have transformed a bunch of preparatory school idols into a body of men who realize their own insignihcance in the world, but who realize, too, that it may become a wee triiie better or worse because of their example. Upon careful analysis we find that the change is due not to a carefully arranged curriculum, not to advantages of living, but to the intiuence of four years, association with such professors as Colby may well be proud of, Nl-ell. we may attribute credit to these gentlemen who have nnceasingly given their best to the student body. Sympathetic in regard to studies, enthusiastic con- cerning the athletic endeavors of the undergraduates, and deeply CO1'lCC'l'lfCCl in the moral growth of the men about them, they have accomplished far more good tlian they have ever imagined. At the conclusion of our Senior year. we cannot but admire this able body of ministers to the students' welfare. and in justice to them, we can only declare that they made us what we are. 1914 THE COLBYOPACLE you some clay ROBERT H1XI.L BOWEN, A Y KKBOIJJY Coburn Classical Institute, ,IOQ First Scholarship Prize, 1, Pirst German Prize, L, Second Shakespeare Prize, 2, Second Prize Sophomore Declamation. 2, Second Prize Hallowell Speaking, 3, Junior Gration, 3, Second Prize junior Exhibition, 3, Murray Prize Debate, '3, Asst.

How Nashua ever existed without this dis- tinguished gentleman is hard to imagine, but it did, and we are glad. To be sure, he is EL hot'air artist of no mean ability, and we are inclined to believe that he will have no trouble in getting through life as he has so excellently through his courses. He is some- what of a fusser, and we thing this very fact has kept him an incessant admirer of Dr. Parmenterls course in Chem. Thud, Thud, Thud, yes, that is he coming down late to breakfast. Merrill 'doesn't dare to say anything as Joe always thas the comeback. In the near future we expect to learn of him filling some responsible political office in Nashua. as we are con- fident of his ability for such a task. His argumenta- tive qualities also are perfect, which would certainly make 'him equal to embarrassing situations. Never mind, Milo, we know that, beneath your load of troubles, there is a heart of gold. XVe wish vou good luck.

Since com- ing to college, Stein has distinguished himself by successfully managing the College Book Store for two years. It is hard to forecast in what direction his energies will be bent, but we rather think that he ivill either be a politician or a river-driver. NAUTHAN T. BUTLER, fb A CBJ Butt Goddard Seminaiy, lo3. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have it thrust upon them. The fact is not questioned, Butt, but that you are of the former class.

NVe can form an estimate of his physical greatness only when he walks up College Avenue with his old friend. Squiz.

More than once has the famous ejaculation, Crimus Sakesf' escaped his lips when he 'found it was 8.10 and he is late to Philosophy. Outside of these minute fail- ings, Butt has a head on him and sometime in the near future we expect to hear of him at the -head of some fa-mous educational institution in the VVest.

Bennie, you always seemed to be in trouble, but we are sure your troubles will be over when you come unto your own, imparting' the knowl- edge Dr. Parmenter has left with you. ln your later college life, your ambition seemed to be enthroned in three things: fooling Rob, getting A's in Chem. and specializing in the Opera House business, A few have been found who could put one over on Rob. but none who could carry out all three of these at the same time. His Senior year made a pensive man of him, and his deep considerations are here versed: I sent my soul through the Invisible, Some letter of that after life to spell, And by and by my Soul returned to me.

A long sentence of eating at Foss Hall has given Frank such a wide acquaintance with the inmates that he has become highly developed in the art of fussing. At all social times he is the recipient of attentions from a bevy of the fair ones, much to the awe of the Freshmen and envy of his less fortunate classmates. The diet evidently agreed with him physically, for he has done much track work and has a permanent position on the tennis team. As the younger brother he has been assistant proctor of Roberts Hall for the last three years and like his brother has made many friends in that position. 40 THE COLBYORACLE 1914 ARTHUR DOUGLAS GILLINGHAM, C.

It wouldnit be right to criticize such a musical person except for this one thing: he will persist in playing the bull liddle. The only intelligible sound that he ever drew from said instrument was what apparently was an imitation of a locomotive trying to start up. All methods to stop him have been ap- plied, from stealing his resin to locking up the weapon itself, but he always manages to get it started again. Of course his rendition upon the bull fiddle is superior to that upon the several other instruments out of which he occasionally tries to bring music, but it is the most disagreeable because 1t is the noisiest.

The supply is almost inexhaustible and they say that when he visits his residence at Scotch Hill the Street Depart- ment put out an extra gang to keep the Streets cleaned up from these impediments which he offers to pedestrians in the form of these big words.

Becapse this man has made the excuse oHice of Colby College what it is to-day??? He is said to be the very soul of the whole thing. Consequently we imagine that there will be none next year. He has also acted his part well as a lubricant between faculty and students-that is, as a member of the student council. Husky, although you are a little crude in your answers to Prexy, at times, we pardon you for it and confess that Colby certainly would have missed a faithful worker had you been side-tracked elsewhere.

For four years he has traveled back and forth to his home in Oakland, and this with his quiet manner keeps him from beingxa conspicuous figure about the campus. His most noticeable activ- ities are in the class-rooms and in the college bandg in both of which he makes a decided success. LINVILLE FRANCIS XNHLTMORJ5 Hank Dewberryi' Belfast High School, 'ogg Class Track Team, I. Hank is one of the most active men in college. On his very arrival here he went directly to the Hersey House and hurried around so that a few days later his furniture was found suspended from the ceiling where it had sought refuge from total annihilatio-n. A little later in the year he had the distinction of being the only man with enough man- ners to wear a dress suit at a Foss Hall social. He has participated in athleticsg having frequent sprints up and down the board walk with lamented Professor McLeary. The rest of his time he has generously sacrihced in serving his country on the Civil Service, always getting Tuesday's mail around by the following Saturday at the latest. ma Tut: cotiavoimcte 5.3 LoU1s ALLEN XNILSON, 42 A GD Louis Tilton Seminary, 'log Class Track Team, Ig Track Squad, 13 Class Executive Commit- tee, Ig Dramatics, I, 2. One of the peculiar mysteries in the college career of this stern, stately, yet gentle young man, is the fact that he left his great athletic achievements hack in his Freshman year. He was always sure to wm even if he did take a short cut to success. Just so in his fellow relations. No man can say that Louis wasn't a jovial good fellow. As a Jester to Prexy you certainly have made a hit, and we con- gratulate you on being one of the few who could get by 'his Shakespeare course on pure wit. A business career is surely alloted to you and there is no doubt as to your success. Why? Because you are always the same, 'hard to be moved, slow in speech, but say- ing just what you think. As a ladies' retainer, you are certainly a mystery. Louis, you will linger long in our memory as a friend, as a ray of good-fellowship, and as a worthy example of a man. VVe wish you success in your future undertakings. He draineth out the depth of his verbiosity, slow but sure. p CH1:sTcR FRAMX XVOOD, C. C.

H. 1914 THE COLTBY ORACLE 59 Junior History S NVE approach the closing year of our student days at Colby, we realize that we have in part achieved the accomplishment of our expectations. Soon the curtain will fall upon the third act of the Class of 1915 as undergraduatesg but its memory must endure. To us has fallen the opportunity of giving to our fllirzta flfaier, not only those men whose glory in after life will reflect honor to her, but men, who while in college, have wrought for her fame. In no more striking way has the leadership of the Class of 1915 been displayed than in athletics. To her rests the honor of having the captaincy of the three major sports at Colby while being but -luniors. Under the leadership of these men, and due to their ability, the college has been honored by victories over some of the greatest universities in America. But it is not Well that we sing the praise of our own accomplishments. Rather would we let them rest, and be the coveted goal of some future class. But we must speak of a few general features. Wle are the beginning of that new era in Colby. In our midst we have men, not only from the four cor- ners of the Qld Pine Tree State, but those from distant states who have sought matriculation in Colby. The effect of this cosmopolitan spirit has been reflected in the activities of the college. Greater' Fields of endeavor have been entered upon with marked success. NVhether they have been in athletics, in scholarship, or in social life, the spirit of the Class of 1915 has been dominant. lN'hatever successes in college may have been ours, it is not upon us that we would have you bestow your praise, for in us is to be found but the reflections of the teachings of our Alma Mater.

Our uneasiness was allayed by the hearty welcome given us at the Y. M. C. A. reception, but revived and fully justified by our experiences at a still warmer reception on the following Monday night, Bloody Monday. Although we were the guests of honor there, yet we were only humble Freshmen and felt our- selves unduly magnihed to be the recipients of such honors. Indeed, we were greatly affected by the attentions of our hosts on that occasion. To recompense them, we took upon ourselves the burden of winning the Sophomore-Freshman baseball game. Moreover, we dropped delicious fruit from the heavens to their open mouths-oh no, it was to the juniors that we dropped it, at any rate the Sophomores were present and if the fruit miscarried, we cannot be blamed. We heaped our thankfulness upon them, burying them completely in the track meet. Finally, inspired by gratitude, we too attempted a reception at which our former hosts were expected. Only a few came, however, and those were late. After this great disappointment, we gave up trying to repay our benefac- tors, and turnd our energies to other duties. lhfe set out to place our name high in the world, selecting the roof of the grandstand as a suitable signboard. But as this was deemed out of keeping with our remarkable humility, the numerals were daubed over and a similar work of art painted on the gymnasium roof. Wie began our second year with a tremendous task before usgthat of enlightening the entering Freshman class committed to our tenderness. XVith conscientious solicitude we have tried to guide their erring steps, we have en- couraged their worthy efforts, and we have punished their naughty actions. Yet it is with tears that we behold the results of our labors. Before you pro- nounce our work wholly in vain, however, you who inspect it, reflect and deeply ponder on what we had on which to begin. So intent have we been on this task that perhaps we have neglected to cul- tivate the higher virtues in ourselves. Our purpose was praiseworthyg our neglect lamentable. But now we turn our faces toward the future, resolved to strive forward to high success, as true sons of Colby. 11711111 of care docs 1110112 dczuzage flzrufz wan! Uf knowl- edge.

At twelve o'clock on a cold Monday night, I-Ie woke from his dreams with a fearful fright. Wfrote Billy to mamma, My heart ceased to beat, For lo!

So I donned my blue jeans and went down stairs Amidst fiendish Sophs with grievous cares. In the Hgyml' we labored the entire night, Really, mamma, a pitiful sight! ' Wfe read the Sophs' rules from a piece of green paper VVhich stuck to our-memory till several days later, One afternoon, I know not the plan, VVe arrived at Maranocook, almost the whole clan. Of such a treat I had never partaken, Corned beef and cabbage, which couldn't be beaten. Suddenly six rude Sophs entered the hall And at once we shared our dainties with all. As the Sophs were many and full of fight, Wfe left our repast and lied into the night, In baseball we didnlt seem to fit, For try as we might we got but one hit. One more story of our sad career to tell, This of our grape-rush which ended too well. Our next acquisition of which I shall speak, THE COLBY QRACLE 1914 Is a new style of headgear which was very neatg A bright green hat with a little red band, NVhich is not excelled throughout the whole land. Now, mamma, I leave this classy strife And turn to a serious side of lite. In Math' our 'lustrious class holds sway Making a record which won't wash away. Of the eighty-five neophytes, the surn of our class, There isnlt a man who deserves to pass. In English and Language we surely did shine, For the highest in the class was hfty-nine. And so, good mamma, with regret and sorrow I bid you good-night and a happy 'morrow. R. H.

Useless and tiresome would it be to attempt to relate all the doings of this illustrious body which are, after all, along the same lines as those of preceding classesg so we will content ourselves with the relating of those characteristic in- stances wherein our claim to greatness lies. idle commenced our careers as makers of history in the fall of IQIO when we assembled at those Halls of Knowledge, known as Colby Collegeg a band strong in numbers and with a fixed and steady determination to meet and sur- mount all obstacles. Here we embraced every opportunity, which presented it- self, and looked about for more worlds to conquer. Our second episode proved much more diffcult and trying, for we not only had our own honor and dignity to uphold but also we found ourselves burdened with the responsibility of instructing a band of little ones who were desirous of following in our wake. The third year of our sojourn came, and by this time we had Hrmly estab- lished a place for ourselves where we were looked upon as models by those of tender years and lesser attainments, and regarded by the Seniors as worthy suc- cessors to their position of dignity and reverence. ' And now as the end of our brief chapter in the history of this institution draws nigh, we turn back over its pages with mingled sadness and regret for the years which it represents. As we close the volume it is with the earnest wish that the classes revealing it in after years may say of us, 'fThey builded better than they knew. 191-1 THE COLBY ORACLE 79 I Aucia MAUD Bi2ciiq12'r'i', K E Becky .

During the last year Mabelle has carefully divided her time between the proper training of Dutton ltlouse freshmen, cooking, in which she is very proiicient, and last but least, has devoted much time to a secretarial course.

But then, why should she, when she does nothing else but study-except to wait on table three times a day, and 'manage the Colbiana and All Out-of-Door Club, and teach Freshman gym six hours a week and a few other incidentals. l1Vhen it comes to walking she is hardlto beat. And as for patience- she's piling up a good store of that while waiting at the dining room door at 7.10 AM. for late risers to ANNIE Lois PEAHCOCK, A A A fILOuI!

Lois' strong forte is telephone calls and her bete-noire is arrival at some place on time.

It doesn't make a bit of differ- ence what you ask her. you will be astounded by her supply of knowledge. But her general ability is not to be grinned at. She has had the care of our class basketball team on her shoulders for four years, a load heavy enough to put any onels joints out of order.

That bloody night spent in the catacombs of Foss Hall! Ask the pale-faced Freshmen why they slunk by those austere figures that guarded the entrance to that lower region! Ask what Charon led them to the 'fGym ! Wfhat watch dog of Hades, with mourn- ful yells, and dismal wails, bit at their slender trembling feet, until from sheer mad desire, they danced a tango reel, that would have made a black man envious! Ask them what seething blackness clothed in bonds secure, their staring, sensitive eyesight! VVhat monsters, hideous to behold, lurked along their way ! Into what mad sea foam they dipped their pale, sweet faces, or why in later years St. Pat- rick's law was made to grow on campus ground! 'fXVild ravings ! you cry. Ah, yes, but only history in the telling. And then there came another day! A famous day! Every face was studied, every action watched! It was almost four o'clock, when a troop of nervous, agitated girls headed by a gaunt figure with a determined face swung down the street, turned a sharp corner and came to a sudden halt! A hot discus- sion followed, but they conquered as other women have before, and soon packed close, in three hissing, throbbing automobiles, they pulled out of a nearby garage and whirled off! An hour later they whizzed by Oakland station in a triumphant sweep. Shocked, frightened faces appeared at the waiting room windows, wild hoots rent the air, but in vain! They swept by! Did it not mean Maranocook or defeat? And theirs was to know the reason why! For three exciting hours they raced the Freshmen's '!Twentieth Century Limited, as. it did the snake dance through the hills ! Fate tried to intervene. They tried to lure them from the right road, but the stammering, halting tongues of awkward farmers, made sweet milkmaids talk against time. But all to no effect. . . . . for on they rode! Hours later, when the woods were dark as Ace of Spades, this same troop of Sophomores, with one grand on-rush, one brave charge, shot over the steep banking, gave a wild yell for Pri Chi and gained the threshold! They broke in upon the thoughtless revellers of the night .... and greeted them with . . . . smiles! Wfhat if sixteen was late, she was wise! And then the aftermath, that glorious ride home, those fleeting wooden fences, those silent breakdowns, those wrong roads, those smothered curses, those well-informed in- habitants, all . . . all forgotten in those miles and miles of starry blue expanse, of pale moonlight and college songs that make life and even Sophomore history, almost divine!

Proud and defiant, unruly were they, Haughty and impudent, bound to have their own way. But 'sooner or later to proud spirits all, There ever is destined to come some great fall. So now as it happened, 'tis sad to relate, At the hands of the Sophomores, met the Freshies their fate , Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green That class in their freshness on Monday was seen. Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown That class on the morrow lay withered and strown. Now just what transpired on that Bloody Day It does not right now behoove us to say. ., But the very next morning, garbed in bonnets of green They proclaimed the supremacy of 1916. Somewhat later in time, on a Monday again The Freshmen, grown wiser, quite reckless, quite vain, Set out on a Special,' for Maranocook town Evading the Sophs who were hunting them down. In right jolly fashion, or at least so they thought, These Freshies violated every rule they'd been taught. They danced and they feasted as that evening Hew by, Shouting defiance to the Sophomores and singing Phi Chi At times when one stops to consider their fate One oft has misgivings as to their hopeless state. Some study a wee bit, some cry, some are peeved,' And raise the Qld Nedl' more than could be believed. 1 However, these Freshmen, in spite of their gall, Have pretty good stuff in them after all. They will in the long run put up a good Fight! And every last one of us declare they're all right. 108 THE COLBYORACLE 1914 Special and Unclassified Students Henry R. Bailey john P.

Each pledged his faith, allegiance ne'er to cease, Sealing his oath in smoking pipe of peace. Rings of smoke go curling, Rich in fragrance rare, Rings of smoke go curling softly on the air, Chains of memory weaving. Binding friendships tie- Meniories and fancies, never to die Yes, never more to die. Four golden years, oh days heyond compare XfVhispering elms and campus ever fair, Klemories sxveet, and dreams while dreams shall last.

That finishes me, Blaisdell continued, as he arose from his chair. You've just beaten me out every time that I have filled this evening. Yes, I have had a great streak of luck, admitted Parker, as the game began to break up at Blaisdell's withdrawal. A streak! exclaimed young Van de Mar. Your streak of luck began in your freshman year, and has never broken yet. I never saw such a record. ' That's right, too, George, said Blake, when the others had left. I never saw .anything like the way your luck holds out! I'll bet if you'd kept a record of it you'd find that your winnings have amounted to more than your allowances since you've been here, and your 'old man isn't very close with you either. If I didn't know you pretty well I'd almost have suspicions about your game. HXWell, I play carefully, and generally try to play safe, answered Parker, as he reached for his bill book. Ah! that reminds me, he added, as a letter fell from his pocket. There's a letter from the gov'ner I didn't have time to read. VVhat do you know ? he said, as he began to read. The boss says I'll probably receive a visit from an old chum of his,-a minister who lives in the city. VVonder what Iyll do to entertain him,-read the Bible, or discuss foreign missions ? VVell, anyway, answered Blake'as he arose to go, Don't let him get a look into your private closet, and don't try to suck him into a game. Parker finished his letter, and prepared to go to his rooms for the night. The comments of his fellow students had been even better founded than they knew. Since his first year he had always been ready to play for whatever stakes the upper-classmen would suggest, and when these upper-classmen went broke he would while away the time in a small game with some idle freshmen, or even amuse himself with a pack of cards alone in his room. I-Iis continued winnings had been so phenomenal that Parker's luck had become a college by- word. He was looked up to by the freshmen and sophomores as the highest authority on a game of chance, and was given the credit openly for having the most level head, the coolest calculation, and the steadiest nerve of any man in college. Parker received the remarks of his fellow-students with a complacent self-satisfied air, and always admitted, as a matter of course, that luck seemed to favor him. But what the students did not know was, that on many nights 1914 THE COLBYGRACLE 24? Parker could be found in a down-town club-room playing for high stakes with the luck of certain stock manipulators and coupon-cuttersiof the city. They did not know that he supported a luxurious down town suite on his winnings. There his many after-theatre suppers and all night revels took place. There was only one cloud which hung over his outlook to-night, and -threatened the continuance of his good fortunes. He had noticed of late more or less reluctance on the part of his friends to join in the social games which had formerly been so frequent. Wfas it possible that some of them thought-but fthen, since luck was always on his side it was only natural that they should not care to throw away their money. Anyhow, he thought, those down town guys enjoy the game, and there are always new ones showing up who are glad to 'sit in' for an evening. A few nights later Parker entered the card room of the club where a game was already in progress. As there were only five players he was heartily wel- comed to make the sixth. VVhile fresh drinks were being served he was intro- duced to the only player whom he had not previously met. This man, whose name was Kendrick, was slightly over middle age, rather powerfully built, and displayed a very strong personality. He was picking up the cards as Parker took his seat, and-as he shuffled them, Parker's practised eye admired the dexterity with which he handled the pack. , Here's to the pot and may we all win, said Parker. All glasses were drained and the deal began. As there was only one man between Parker and the dealer he passed his hand without looking, while he bought his chips. No one opened ,the pot, and, as Parker threw in his hand, he noticed that he had three queens. The next hand gave him three jacks with which he opened the pot next to the dealer, only to find that the man at his left played his hand without a draw, and won the pot with one bet on a flush. Parker passed his own deal and won the following pot with a pair of queens. The deal then passed around several times with luck breaking about even for all but Parker, who lost on most of the deals. Wfhen it came to his deal again he put in a new pack and won the pot. Now, he began to win in earnest. He was again playing his old game. As the deals passed from hand to hand, the betting began to grow more interesting. The hands were better, and each player was giving his best attention to the game. The room was silent save for the thud of the cards, the musical clinking of the chips, and the occasional pass and call of the players. Steadily Parker's pile increased, and his spirits rose higher and higher as, with the true gambler's joy at the dexterous manipulation of the cards in his experienced fingers, he raked in pot after pot. Twice he noticed Kendrick buy- ing chips, and now his second purchase was nearly all transferred to his own 248 THE COLBYORACLE 1914 pile. Wfhen it came Kendrick's turn to deal again he suggested raising the limit. All quickly agreed to this. This deal was opened by Parker but won by Ken- drick. During the draw on Parker's next deal he noticed the sharp eyes of Ken- drick looking squarely into his own. Something in the magnetism of the man caused the dealer to fumble his own draw, so that he exposed a king face up. V He 'threw this among the discards and drew the next one, after which he tossed in his hand. As he did so Kendrick placed his hand among the discards with a quick movement which turned up the hand of Parker exposing three queens and a king. Parker lost steadily after this, and as steadily did the pile of Kendrick increase. Parker, at every turn of his own deal, felt the eyes of Kendrick riveted upon his every movement. Hand after hand Parker bettered and filled, only to be beaten in the show-down by his opponent. The game now seemed to be a battle only between these two Kendrick winning as heavily as Parker lost. Peverishly now Parker dealt and drew his cards with his eyes trying to beat back the threatening glare from the eyes of the older man. For the first time in the history of his gambling career he found his nerve failing him. Brazenly he suggested' doubling the limit. This was agreed upon by all but one, who, with his chips all gone, became a spectator of the game. Still Parker's pile diminished. One after another the bills left his roll until it had been entirely transferred to the pockets of his opponent. One by one the players withdrew from the game, but remained silent spectators of the drama being enacted before them. The stakes were now higher than Parker had ever seen. There before him was his entire bank account in thousand dollar bills. His opponent seemed to know every card he held in his handy but, watch him as he might, he could detect no misplay of the cards. His eyes blazing with hot tears, his face white with anger, large drops of perspiration about his temples, he feverishly pushed the last bill into the pawning pot before him-and lost. Dizzily, hopelessly, he gazed about him, as the sailor on a sinking vessel vainly sweeps the horizon with his futile eyes. Puriously he tore his jewelry from his clothing, and pushed it toward the man. How much will you stake me for it F he asked in a hollow voice. Nothing! answered the player. But Pll take your I. 0. U. for five thousand dollars. Like a machine Kendrick silently shuffled and dealt the cards. The only sound was the breathing of Parker. They picked up their hands at the same time. As Parker looked at his hand his eyes started from their sockets. Pour kings and an ace! VVith a last struggle for self-possession he tried to pronounce calmly the words to open the pot. As in a dream he heard himself say: 0pen for a hundred ! 1914 THE CQLPJY ORACLE 249 Two hundred ln came the response. lt came back to him with a throb that made every tibre of his body tremble as he braced in his seat. Five hundred l he called. Play, pronounced the other. His hands shaking as with the palsy, Parker discarded the ace and drew one card, his opponent also taking one. Parker bet five hundred. A thousand better. Another thousand. Five thousand more, said Kendrick calmly. There's your hve hundred and fifteen hundred more. I'll call, answered Kendrick, throwing his hand down before the shouting youth, and pulling'the stakes toward him. Wfith an oath Parker looked upon the straight flush which meant his ruin, and as he dropped forward in his chair, with his arms and body stretched out on the table, his smothered curses ended with the word luck,,' hurled from his chattering teeth. Luck! shouted the winner. NWhat do you know about '1uck! ' Here, he cried, rising and turning to the dazed men about the table, emptying his bulging pockets upon the green board. Here! you fools. Take rt rc H back your money with my compliments, but do me the favor of keeping this inci- dent to yourselves. As he spoke he threw some cards upon the table which bore his name. Luck, he repeated, turning again upon the exhausted youth. You never knew such a thing as 'luck.' Do you think it was luck that I won on to-night? Do you suppose I didn't know what cards you held in your hands? Do you suppose it was luck that gave your four kings and an ace against my straight flush for a five thousand dollar pot? Then, lowering his voice to a musical tensity he continued: XfVas it 'luck' that caused Arthur Flanders to leave college in his Sophomore yearg that sent George Meredith back home the next year without a shirt to his back that sent Carl Remick to the machine shop when he ought to have been in college, and made Harold Smith ruin his health by working nights Do you suppose I think, he continued, lowering his voice, while Parker winced at every vibration of his tone as if from the blow of a whip, do you think that I suppose it was 'luck' that furnished your down-town suite, and your theatre parties and evening suppers? No! VVhy, man alive! Pve seen men in XVyoming shot down time after time for doing what you have done. Uh, I've watched you since you came here and you never new it. You may have wondered why the president and faculty let you off so easily from that time of yours last year. Your father's name and 250 TI-IECGLBYGRACLE 1914 influence had a good deal to do about it, but there are things that your fatherls name and inlluence cannot do. The only 'luck' you ever had, my Doy, is that some one else didn't get to you before I got the chance which only came to-night. I used to be a cow-boy before I became a minister, and I happen to be a better card-man than you are, but there are many, believe me, who are much better than I am, and you would meet one sooner or later. I hope you gentlemen will pardon my duplicity and be so kind as not to report this little occurrence. And as for you, my boy,-your father doesn't know anything about this, and you and I are not going to tell him. VX7hen you go back home though, first tell him that his old chum came to see you and sent his best regards. TO A XVILD ROSE As sweet as the rose in the thicket, The maid o' my heart was to me, I-Ier lips were the tint of the pink-lipped rose, And an Irish maiden was she. Mid the heather I wooed and I won her, Vtfith the wild rose turned in her hair, She gave her heart to my keeping And for no one else did I care. Yes, fair as the rose in the thicket, Or ever a flower that blows, Yet her love was stolen away from me, The love of my Irish rose. Then fled the charm of the summer day The roses all faded-save one, The star-misty lake ceased calling to me My life and my love were done. Not now do I care as in olden times, There were others as fair as was she, But as fragrance still clings to the faded rose That dream of my love stays with me. And sometimes to-day when a sweet voice calls My heart stands still as it hears, And the fragrance of love that to memory clings, Flood o'er me, grown sweet with the years. A. M. B., '19, 1914 THE CGLBY ORACLE 251 A Colby Pageant A pageant is a festival of thanksgiving to Almighty God for the benefits of the past, the opportunities of the present, and the hopes of the future. It is the purpose of the Class of 1914 in presenting a pageant of Colby to fulfill this three-fold ideal, to commemorate the past of our College, to pay a tribute of respect and love to her, and to wish her a future ot prosperity and greatness. Vtle have tried to remember that a pageant is not primarily a show, but is the continuing life of a community, and in the following scenes from the life of our Alina .Mater we have tried to visualize the history, growth and activ- ities of Colby in a manner worthy of our theme.

America 1914 and Guests ACKNOXVLEDGEMENT The Pageant committee wishes to make grateful acknowledgement of the co-operation of the Pageanters and the kindly encouragement and appreciation of the friends who are interested in the welfare of Colby. Wfe are glad if this Pageant of Colby has fulfilled in any measure its mission of expressing our love for Colby, our respect for her past, and our hope for her future. Wfe are indebted to the Pageant given at Silver Bay last june for Episode VIH. This production called The Ministering of the Gift was written by Miss Helen Thoburn, and was acted by all the girls at the Y. NV. C. A. Confer- ence this year. Every phase of Christian Association work was represented, in the college, the open country, the city and its poor, and in other lands. The conception is very beautiful, especially the idea of representing the Prophets of Sargent's frieze. Symbolic dances and drills, orchestral music and choruses were used most effectively to make the work artistic as well as instructive, and the lines were full of melody as well as earnestness. It was from this delightful piece that we drew our inspiration for a Colby Pageant. The Association Spirit and The Spirit of Play we also borrowed from The Ministering of the Gift, because we hoped in this way to give all our friends an idea of the scope, the beauty and the helpfulness of such a finished and comprehensive work. E. L. H., ,I4. 256 TI-IE COLBYQRACLE 1914 A College Girl's Reading Dmr Dazzghfe1'.' In my last letter I asked you if you had read The Inside of the Cup by Wfinston Churchill, and you answered carelessly, Gracious, no, I have on time to read l Just that little remark aroused in me a fear that has been growing ,for these last two years, and now I am going to confess the fear to you. Two years ago I had a little girl here at home of whom I was very proud. She was a tom-boy, I cannot deny, playing baseball, she could catch the pitcher's -curves and spit-balls and hold them, or, at the bat, drive the ball out into left field for a two-baggerf' as well as her brothers. But she was a serious, thought- ful little girl, this tom-boy of mine, and when she came in from her play she would curl up on the window-seat with a book and read and read. She read everything at first, from Charles Dickens to Charles Garvice, but before long she learned to discriminate and to appreciate the best. She knew what ones of the best sellers were worth reading and what were 'lslushf' Often she and I took long walks or drives together and talked about our favorite heroes and heroines. Do you remember that day you were so indignant over the fate of Sidney Carton in The Tale of Two Cities ? There, I have spoiled my story, but I guess you knew whom I was talking about. Tell me, little girl of mine, have you lost all interest in your once dear people,-Rebecca, in Ivanhoe, Jean Valjean, Dorothy Vernon, and even little David Copperfield? , Last summer when you were at home we took the same long walks and drives. Do you remember what we talked about? Probably not, but I do. VVe discussed the perfectly splendid girl who was your latest crush and the stun- ningl' new shades in stockings and bows to match. And what was that book I saw in your lap one day when you had nothing to do? The I-Iollow of I-Ier Hand ll' I-Iorrorsl I was very glad when I saw you throw it down in disgust, for I would rather you never read a word than that you should cultivate McCutcheon. Seriously, do you not feel that you are losing valuable friends when you grow away from those favorite authors of yours, this way? You cannot help gradually losing your high ideals and even that keen, lively interest you have always had in people, if you lose your interest in the real, true types of people that have been created for you by the great writers of all times. I-Iow many worth while books have you read since you went to college? I-Iave you read any beside those required by your Literature course? 1914 TI-IE COLBY ORACLE 257 You protest that you are so busy, what do mothers at home know about the things that keep a college girl humping every minute of the day? I know you are doing a great deal and working hard at your studies, but remember this, daughter, you are in college to educate yourself, in the broadest meaning of the word, to broaden yourself, and you cannot do this if you abandon your reading. You owe it to yourself to read, at least a little, not insatiably, to the neglect of your other work, but enough to keep your imagination lively and your interest in life keen. Perhaps we can work a little more into your busy days. I.et me see, isn't your schedule something like this: breakfast at seven, classes from eight to twelve and two to four, gym from four to five, dinner at six, and study from seven to ten? Did you ever sit down at night and reckon how much time you have wasted during the day? Donit you go into some one's room and talk new prom dresses and partners, sometimes all the evening? I think you do. It is human nature. Now I will tell you what I want you to do and I think you will find it very easy when you get the habit. Plan to have the last part of each day a sort of recreation hour. You must have your lights out at ten o'clock and it is a very poor policy to study all the evening and then, at ten o'clock, switch off the lights and bounce into bed with your brain fairly aching with an overdose of botanical terms or French verbs. On the other hand, neither is it a good plan to throw your book down when the nine o'clock bell rings and proceed to work off some superfluous energy by raising Ned until ten olclock and getting all worked up and excited. So at nine o'clock let's plan to get ready for bed and then read in some favorite book until ten o'clock. You will not miss the time and you will find that you sleep much better. Also, you will grow more like your old self, my sensible, thoughtful little woman. Please try this for a while, just to please your Mammy. ' I think I have kept close watch over what you have read and I know that you are well acquainted with most of the standard authors. I am going to men- tion here some things that I know you will want to read, both the good old-fash- ioned kind and some of the new books. It is a jumbled up list, but they are just some that I have read and you have not. You can read them as you wish. There is a simple little English story I want you to be sure and read, it would be a good one to begin withg it is Cranford, by Elizabeth Gaskell. It is a pretty, rather amusing story, giving a good idea of English village life in the nine- teenth century. After that, why not read f'Vanity Fair ? It is not excitingly interesting, but it is something you ought to read, for the style, if for nothing more. You 258 THECOLBYORACLE 1914 have not read much of Thackeray and here you will find him at his best. He is not as easy reading as Dickens, but I understand you well enough to know that you will love Thackeray when you know him. Vanity Fair has no hero, but the heroine, Becky Sharpe, is one of the finest heroines in literature. You are probably wondering now if you ought to read Quo Vadisf' as I see they are showing it in motion pictures in your town. The pictures are very good, go and see them, by all means. The impersonation of Nero could not be better and the architecture of the old Roman buildings is re- produced perfectly. But I do not think that you need to read the book. It is a great exaggeration of the cruelties and debaucheries of Nero and the persecutions of the Christians, and those things have been exaggerated enough by being passed down through history, without your reading Quo Vadisf' On the other hand, the author does deserve praise for his wonderful descriptions. You said you did not care for Kipling after reading The Light That Failed. Have you read Plain Tales from the Hills ?l' Try them. You saw Helen Keller last month and heard her speak. Now you will be interested to read her autobiography, which I tried to get you to read last winter. You will find it doubly interesting. Another autobiography that is well worth reading in Mary Antin's Promised Landf' She is a Russian Iewess, whose fam- ily was driven to come to America when she was very young. It shows up very truthfully and pathetically the persecutions of the Jews, and also the wretched condition of the poorest quarters in our large American cities. After that, read jane Addams' Hull House and some of her interesting articles on social reform. You have been doing some settlement work in your own small way. jane Addams will arouse your enthusiasm for greater things. Then when you are truly interested, read Rausenbusch in Christianity and the Social Crisisf, It is the finest that has been written on that subject. This probably sounds like pretty deep reading, does it not? XVell, don't read Rausenbusch all the time. There are several of this year's novels that are well worth reading. To begin with, read The Inside of the Cup and the V. V.'s Eyes. I will not say anything about them now, but I want you to write me just what you think of them. I remember how you loved Queed,' and dear little Finn and her definition of happiness. Remember it begins with liking people, liking everybody. Then when you really like them you want to do things for them, and that is happiness. There are many more things that I want you to read, but I want you to do some picking and choosing, yourself. Do not neglect poetry. Nothing produces true culture as much as reading and study of good poetry. You know your American poets well, but you can still spend an enjoyable evening hour with Longfellow, Wfhittier, or Lanier. 1914 THE COLBYGRACLE 259 Before long you must learn to like essays, but they cannot be read in your hour before bed-time. You will read Lamb and Ruskin when you are at home, curled up in father's big leather chair before the open fire, with your lap full of apples and the drop-light pulled low. Wfrite soon and tell me what you think of my scheme. Your loving mother. E. G. C., '15, The Dance of the Fireflies Oli, the fireflies danced on one star-lit night To the lilt of a rollicking tune, They danced where the meadow slipped down to the sea, By the light of the soft summer moon. They reeled and they swam in a maddening whirl, Yet sleeping, it whispers and sighs, The crickets pipe on with their merriest tune, At the dance of the fireflies. A bit of the sky that had fallen to earth, In which twinkled many a star Now here and now lost in the mad swinging reel, VVhile the stars set the pace from afar. Then it seemed that the day had fallen asleep, Yet sleeping, it whispers and sighs, And I thought, that its dreams were dancing to-night At the dance of the fireflies. For life was to them all a Heet summer day, And what cared I for sorrow, Though their light must fade with the coming dawn, And my dream must end with the morrow. For they lived to the full their short, fair life, And youth and love were my prize, So my heart danced on in riotous glee, Vtlitli the dance of the fireflies. A. M. B., 1914. 260 TI-IECULBYGRACLE 1914 Up the St. John The first thing that I knew on this particular june morning, was a pro- longed ding-ding-ding, which I thought was the milkman at the doorbell, until I remembered that there wasn't one,-bell, I mean. Wfhen I had really waked, I recalled that The Pilot had set the alarm for three-thirty A.M., and that this was the day of our trip up the river. Toilets were hasty and at a very cool, as well as early, hour, we were seated in IVIyaatg' 0ur Ladyn and I in the stern, bundled in sweaters and blankets and the Pilot in overalls of blue, at the engine, just sleepy enough to swear softly when the ratio of gasoline to air wasn't exactly right. A few circles in the cove just to test Myaat'l and we were off for a sixty mile ride up the St. john. The morning was perfect--sky, water and distant hills a wonderful panorama in varying blues, and the breeze brought just a sug- gestion of salt from the Bay. Par ahead of us up the river, white sails of the Yacht Club fleet were disappearing around a point of land, and here and there, a motor boat slipped away from its mooring and chugged away to the north. After two hours ride, the breeze had stiffened a good deal, and so far as we could see, the water was dimpling and flashing in the bright sunlight. Our spray hood was small, so to avoid too much of a wetting, we kept slightly toward the west shore and were making for a splendid beach that lay just ahead, when sud- denly something went scrapety-scrape on the bottom of the boat. The Pilot, who had been sitting on the edge, remarking on the beauties of New Brunswick land- scape, jumped to shut off the engine, and looking down into the water at the stem, we could see a dark, flat ledge that the rudder had bumped. Standing in the bow like a gondolier the Pilot guided Myaat by an oar until her bow pushed into the sandy beach, and we scrambled out, glad to see the place at close range. A weatherbeaten man with brown overalls tucked into rubber boots, was taking his morning smoke on the shore, and with truly provincial alacrity he came to the rescue. The Pilot explained our mishap and Mr. Fisherman, as we dubbed him, went to his shack for tools. Our Lady and I sat on the riverboat wharf, digging our heels into the sand while f'Myaat was being repaired. They hauled her nearly out of the water and then Mr. Fisherman waded in while the Pilot nearly stood on his head, to peer beneath the stem. The rudder was bent into the wood and it took considerable prying to loosen it. Mr. Pisherrnan intro- duced himselt as Mr. Mclienney and we thanked him so heartily that he waxed sociable, insisting that we come up to the shack fer a bitefl The shack didn't especially appeal to us, and since there was a hamper of food in the boat, the 1914 T1-TE COLBYORACLE 261 Pilot declined with thanks for all of us. Nothing daunted, our hero started a long account of his yesterday's nshing, which according to his story had netted an impossible sum. Of course we oh'd and ah'd with wonder but agreed later that his breath was too rich to be natural and his imagination too vivid for our New England conscience. Half an hour had gone before we realized it, and when Myaat was again on her way, we prepared for a long ride. The breeze had strengthened to a wind that dashed spray in our faces at every wave. The air was sweet as wine and our breakfast, though eaten hurriedly between the splashes, tasted delicious. By this time the river was well covered by boats, big and little, motors, yachts, and funny old tugs that looked like mud turtles, all moving slowly as if in perfect accord with the beauty of the day. By noon, after a three-hour run, we were hungry, and tired of sitting still, so landed at a tiny beach on the east shore, for luncheon. It was a merry meal and after it, the Pilot spread blankets under a big maple tree and we rested. I tried to read but I couldn't for the surroundings distracted me. Back of us was a green field with tangled wild rose bushes growing over its walls, and further back was a low farmhouse, with a moss-grown well in the yard.. The shore across the river was a slope of hr and cedar trees, which, looked like the pictures in a stereopticon, so clear was the air. A' tug crawled by, towing a string of logs and some small boys from the farmhouse came down to the shore-these were the only signs of life, for we were well up into the country, nearly to the head of the river. The Pilot fed Myaat her ration of gasoline and we started. An hour's ride brought us to the mouth of the Wlashdemoak Lake, which Hows into the St. John river. Keeping the river to the left, we entered the lake, which broadened rapidly. At intervals along the shore there were lighthouses and big red and black stakes marked out the river steamer's channel. As far as we could see was the blue water, curled into the white spray, very rough but very beautiful. It was such fun to see a big wave sweeping toward us, to feel the bow dip into the trough and then rise as the wave passed under the stern, splashing us as it left. I felt that T knew how jack London felt on his surf rides, only mine was a pocket edition of his sensation. The whole afternoon slipped away before we came to the source of the Wfashdemoak. This was hardly more than a stream, dredged, and the channel was marked by saplings stuck in the muddy bottom. Looking ahead, we would see a brown tuft of something on the water, and when we came up, it would prove to be the withered top of a birch tree, often bent at dizzy angle. Qn either side and often in the channel were tangles of eel grass which wound around 262 TI-IE COLBYGRACLE 1914 the rudder. This was fun, too, for we had to reverse the engine and have a quick backward ride, until the grass loosened and Hoated away. There were marshy little islands and either shore was thinly dotted with farms. It was just after the sun had set that we reached Cole's Island, and with the prospect of seeing some one, came the thought of how we must look. The Pilot's face was streaked with grease and dirt from the engine, and wind and sun had burnd our faces to a bright scarlet. My hair was falling ,down my back in true Indian fashion and when we set foot on the cool mud under an over- hanging alder, I doubt if our friends would have recognized us. Of course we were tired and hungry, but happy as larks. 0 . Our stay on the Island was short-a day and a half, but it was a continuous good time. Our Lady and I travelled to the general store, tramped over the farm, ate buckwheat pancakes and bacon, and learned to say Good night for Good evening in true provincial style, which delighted the Pilot's heart, for he wasn't a Yankee. At noon on the first of July, which is Dominion Day in New Brunswick, we started for home, looking forward to the ride, but wishing our stay could last. The ride was uneventful except that the wind was blowing down the river and the tide was coming in which gave us rough weather. At sunset we were only twelve miles from home and were delighted with the prospect of a moonlight sail. But in one of those unexpected caprices of nature, a thick fog came on with the dark and our delight changed to alarm, for one never knows what will happen in a fog. Our big light was absolutely useless for it cast a white light that only made the fog more impenetrable and we ran slowly, trying to distinguish guiding wharfs and cottages. Suddenly out of the fog appeared a great black object, looming so far above Myaat that we felt like a fishing smack in front of an ocean liner. I tooted my brown fish horn which was our distress signal, and the Pilot halloed, but there was no response. The bugbear didn't move, so we came up alongside and great was the relief to find it an old pier, which we had forgotten was there. A few minutes more and we caught the flash of our own Club House light, which guided us safely into the cove at Millidgeville-and home, with lVIyaat chugging anxiously for her well earned rest. Rise with the lark if you will, sweet maid of Arcadia, you who dance all day in the sunshine and dream all night on the heather. But you poorer mortal of the twentieth century who live in the house made by hands, consider well this rise with the lark. Think of the strident note of the gong as it burrs in the 1914 THE COLBYGRACLE 263 hall outside your door, think of the cold winter air blowing in at the open Win- dow, think of the chill, hard Hoor, and the frigid shoe horn that must be con- jured before you can go in peace, not to say comfort. And then consider the possibility of the dining room shutting and leaving you breakfastless, con- sider the return to your cheerless room, your shivering and chattering perusal of Chaucer's Loudon, the ringing of the eight o'clock bell, and your chill rush to class. And then, mortal, when you have considered all these things, and have decided the utter futility of early rising, remember what Prexy has said- You girls must get up to breakfast. A Ashes of Memory I heard the river sing last night . Of the joy of an August day, Qf the gold-glint in the starlight, And the rainbow tints in the spray. Last night the beach-fires leaped and played, And music echoed on the bay- The voice of one we loved, who stayed, But the space of a summer day. To-night the song of the river Is a murmur-half dirge, half prayer, And the waves are all a-quiver Vvith a deep, remorseful despair. To-night the world is Wrapped in a veil Of darkness-its heart is stone. The light faints from stars that are pale- Memory and I are alone. E. L. H., 'r4. 264 THE CGLBY ORACLE 1914 A Glimpse of Nature The sound of hurriedly approaching footsteps echoed on the night air, impetuous footsteps, as if they were helping their owner to get away, where, he did not care. They ceased, the darkness deepened, the stillness became intense, it seemed as though, for a moment, the music of the spheres had ceased, and the world waited breathlessly, waited, but for a moment only, when the oppressive gloom gradually lightened until the golden effulgence of the moon burst forth from between dark clouds, tinting their edges with dull gold, and casting its amber light over all the world. A man was standing, motionless amid this won- drous lustre. The lines of his face were deeply creased, but not with age, his dark eyes gleamed forth in still darker light, and his thin lips were tightly pressed. The whole expression betrayed a passion scarcely concealed. He stooped, and felt among the grass, suddenly his figure straightened and he grasped in his hand, ah, not the something it had sought but instead-only a wild Hower, wet with the dew of evening and sweet with a fragrance which the gentle breeze wafted through the air. Tnvoluntarily he raised his eyes to heaven and beheld the grandeur of Godis hand. A tremor ran over his limbs, his lips parted, the gleam of his eyes became softer and more lustrous and a strange light spread over his features, his head bent forward and gradually he sank upon his knees. Thus, in the depth of nature, a soul, saved from what God alone could know, poured forth its deepest adoration. Ah! it is only a fanciful picture, it is only one of those secrets which nature tells but once, in which, The sight of God's creation convinces man of his nothingness before God. It is but this art in man and nature. Wfe long to stand before those wonderful paintings of Michael Angelo, before the art of Rembrant, Rousseau, Valesquez, Wfhistler and others. Wfe long to wonder at the height of inspiration, at the greatness of the souls of the men who produced them, to wonder at the coloring and the masterful strokes of genius. But does it never occur to us that it is our privilege to gaze upon works of art not wrought by human hands! Ever changing, ever beautiful from which we may draw an inspiration to equal that which these men gained, for their greatest pictures they left unpainted. That we may study the same divine painting which they studied. And in this more than human art, in the midst of God's out of doors, beneath the endless dome of heaven, beneath the clouds, by the ocean, on the mountain tops, in the valleys and among the Bowers, we may interpret our own lives, read our own futures, visions which can be gained only by intense looking into Nature's world, and by penetrating somewhat into her 1914 THE CQLBYORACLE 265 mysteries. Then as Ruskin said, 'Her finest touches will come to us as things which must be watched for, her most perfect beauty as the most evanescent. Nature is a poem of which God is the author. Therefore in nature We may have an insight into the lives of the poets, whose souls had something in them so akin to His. In the wee, modest, crimson-tipped flowers, we see the simple, heartfelt love of Burns for I-Iis creation. In the Skylark as he soars heavenward in his flight, we see the free, glad aspiration of the poet Shelley. In the greenest of our valleys, By good angels tenanted, we watch the phantoms flit in and out of that strange, mysterious mansion, the soul of Poe. The granduer, the mightiness of the dark clouds as the storm rages above our heads, seems to breathe of the dark, melancholy, yet awe-inspiring soul of Byron. XVe are but the Arve' and the Arverion at the base of the sovran Blanc,', before the massive spirit of the purely poetical Coleridge. But in what words can we better find the art, the philoso- phy and the poetry of nature, than in these, the noblest words of W'ordsworth- For I have learned, To look on nature, not as in the hour Of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes The still, sad music of humanity, Nor harsh, not grating, though of ample power To chasten and subdue. And I have felt A presence that disturbs me with the joy Of elevating thoughts, a sense sublime of Something far more deeply interfused, Wfhose dwelling is the light of setting sun, - The round ocean, and the living air And the blue sky, and in the mind of man A motion and a spirit, that impels All thinking things, all objects of all thought, And rolls through all things. Therefore am I still iwell pleased to recognize In nature, and the language of the sense, The guide, the guardian of my heart, and soul Of all my mortal being.

Forgotten are the duties of the day. The night with all its luring charm is near. The fragrant breath of growing things in May Bears wisdom that in books can find no peer. From down the walk a boy's shrill whistle sounds. The frogs peep mournful concert to the air. Some wayward children straying out of bounds Add to themselves, soon others, pair by pair. The pipes upon the columned porch are filled, And smoke drearnsgdreams of dreams that ne'er ca Await not for their coming to be willed, But take from trivialities their cue. To those who find no solace but in girls, The strean extends an invitation rareg And in this hour of mystic twilight hurls Defiance to the guards of maidens fair. Throughout the short spring eve the silence reigns Upon that porch where dreamers sit and stare. No thought of future life, of loss or gain, Disturbs our dreams,-they bear no weight of care. Almost deserted now the campus lies, UIC 'ETUC The midnight pall now hangs o'er Shannon's dome. Yet through the gloom the sinking-moon still spies The care-free wand'rer late returning home.

W7 .R.,'15 1914 THE CULBY ORACLE 267 The Legend of the Fir Tree The sun had long since set in the Garden, and only the shadow of its bur- nished light flickered over the western slopes. In the midst of the Garden two shrinking figures crouched before the Tree of Life, and covered their sin-lit eyes with trembling hands. Darker and darker grew the sky, until the man and woman could not see each otherys faces, and the merciful darkness kept the secret of their poignant anguish. Then a mist like frozen moonlight rose from the earth and hovered above them, and lecl them gently away from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, out through the aromatic shrubs and rose-trees they had loved so well, even to the eastern boundary of the Garden. There they stood a moment hand in hand, as if all the world were changed-even their love for one another, they would always cling together to help each other bear the shame and sorrow of their guilt. Then, sin-sick and lacerated by the first pang of homesickness the world had ever known, they stumbled on, sobbing and shud- dering. Past the cherubim they wavered, and looking backward for one last agonizing glance, beheld the angel of the flaming sword, cold and relenting, guard- ing the Tree of the Garden that had once been theirs. And as they gazed the rain-tears fell in clouds, as if the very heavens wept that man should learn. so soon the pain of sin, a jagged lightning rent the veil of the sky. The earth shook under their feet. They knelt in palsied awe before the dread night of the Storm- God, and prostrate, waited for the death they thought was certain. But in that hour a miracle was wrought, for a Voice bade them rise and enter the Land of Wfork. And as they journeyed, a glorious band of color spanned the dome of night, blood-red, the blush of the autumn leaf, the gold of the summer sun, the green of the tropic fern, the blue of an August sky, and the smile of a violet. Thus Hope was born in the heart of the man, and a promise in the heart of woman, and the two went on their way in peace. It was midnight in the Garden of Eden. Calm had caressed the deserted place to sleep. The lamps of heaven were alight to cheer the world after its rude awaking. In the midst of the Garden, shivered the Tree of Life. There was no motion save the quivering of the mourning branches, no sound save the plaint of the Tree whose leaves breathed the bitter poison of its curse until they were changed into two long, pointed pins, sharp as pain and green as the sad sea, The fruit of the Tree shrank and became a mere core of the luscious dainty it had once been, and the prickly cone it had become could no longer tempt the appetite. The evergreen, the ghost of the Tree of Good and Evil, lifted its arms in mute appeal to the merciless skies, and then bent them earthward, brooding and sorrow- ful. 268 THE CQLBYORACLE 1914 Again Night donned her black garments, and nestled close to Earth. But now she gemmed her hair with jewels and one, of wordless beauty, she clasped over her heart. Men gazed upon it in wonder and called it the Star of the East. It even shone ,in the man-forsaken Garden and lit the thorny, weed-choked flow- ers with a tender and marvelous light. The serpent was blinded by its glow, and slowly uncoiling from the fir-tree, found a deep, dark hole under the ground and hid away in terror. For the liVise Men said a Child was born who would one day destroy the serpent and rob him of his malignant power. So the serpent was afraid because of his dire prophecy, and cursed the Tree no longer by its con- stant hissing and by the heavy coils of its writhing body. Then the Hr-tree re- joiced in its freedom, and, hushed and happy, heard the music of the angels and was glad. Thus every year, when we are celebrating the birth of the Child who took away the serpentls sting, and blessed the work of the sin-sick man and woman, little children gather round the lir-tree and deck their homes with evergreen in memory of this Tree. And men and women gaze upon its emerald-tinted arms, admire its steady strength, and comeliness, and read the promise of the Fir-tree, of love that conquers even sin, of old age that still is sweet and strong, of life that never ends. As if not content with the continuous drip and drizzle of rain falling gently on already muddy streets, old Mother Nature gathers her tears and sends them in torrents upon us, with dark sky and lashing wind. The streets are rivers and mud banks, the sky is a monotonous gray and the rain comes slanting down, making a soft veil, through which we see the lacy tips of the black elms. The old cab horses plunge lazily through the mud, so wet that they mind not the whip, the grocery boys stand straight on the carts in rubber coats and souwesters, urging their horses to escape the wet, the pedestrians walk fast, with heads down and umbrellas all directed toward the storm, the peanut man shuts himself up in his little cart and the little boys gaze longingly at the dripping windows and think of the good smell inside, automo- biles, tightly closed, dash through the rain, splashing the chance traveller who is crossing behind them: the mail men tramp wearily from door to door, with mail bags carefully hidden under long rubber coats, and hats turned down over their eyes. The trees sway and reluctantly let fall the leaves, which the wind seizes and sends scurrying away, the telegraph wires creak and groan and over all and through all is the gray rain-ceaseless and comfortless. 1914 TI-IE CGLBY QRACLE 269 Crossing the Gulf Stream Wfe were on a sailing vessel, bound for Key XVest. After a long, stormy passage on the gray Atlantic, we had made our slow way through the calm, many- tinted water of the Bahama Islands. Being now only a day's voyage from Key IVest, we believed all roughness was over, and eagerly planned how we should spend our time ashore. But we had not reckoned with the Gulf Stream. XVe were on the eastern side of it, and had to cross it diagonally, in a southwesterly direction, almost against the strong current near the southern end of Florida. That morning I was awakened by the pitching of our craft, and the rolling of the heavy sails. XVas this the Atlantic again? Could inland waters be really boisterous? Wfith some difficulty I climbed down from my berth, only to be hurled forcibly against the opposite wall. Another moment and I was thrown back again quite as violently. I heard the sound of falling crockery, while books and chairs went sliding over the floor. A weak voice from the next room told me we were in the Gulf Stream. There was no gale, only a strong, fair wind, but the Gulf Stream was in a wicked mood, and was playing with us. A deadly sickness crept over me, and I climbed back to my berth, where I clung desperately. Sometimes the spray splashed through my window upon my face, as I listened to the creaking of the ropes and iron each time we received one of those ringing blows from the waves. Breakfast was served with the railing around the table to keep the dishes in place, but no ladies were present. As the day advanced, the breathless heat of midsummer settled about us. The cabin became stifling, and we sought the hot deck, where the southern sun was pouring its undimmed rays. Quietly in the welcome shadow of the great sail, we watched those blue, blue waves peculiar to the Gulf Stream. as they curled and tumbled and foamed about our ship, which was the center of all this seething turbulence. Qur chief occupation that day was consulting the chart, where our progress was marked nearly every hour. Toward sunset the waves became less blue and rough, for we were nearing the western edge of the fifty-mile stretch of Gulf Stream. The next morning we were entering the beautiful harbor of Iiey Wfest, and had nearly forgotten our day's experience with the demon who rules the Gulf Stream. lil. N. L., '16. 270 TI-IE CGLBYQRACLE 1914 Sunset Music It was at the end of a hard, busy day and I had gone to the music room on the top Hoor of Foss Hall to play a few records on the Victrola. The first one I played was the Wfilliam Tell Qverture by Rossini. As the hrst lively, brilliant tones sounded, the cares and trials of the day shot out of my mind and scattered in a million pieces, and I felt instantly care-free and joyous. Through the win- dow I could see the setting sun, almost out of sight behind the hills. The sky was of pure gold, bright and brilliant as the music. Next I listened to Schumann-Heink singing a gay, happy little song, It is better to laugh. I-Ier sweet voice rippled and trilled joyously. Looking out of the window, I saw that the sky was still in tune with the music. Close to the horizon the radiant gold had become a delicate yellow. This deepened into a rich, dull orange which lasted only a short distance until it became a dainty pink. A little further and it faded into soft, delicate lavender shyly disappearing in the deep, rich blue of the sky overhead. All the beautiful colors of Nature were united in expressing the radiance and the rippling harmony of the song. E. G. C., '15.

All the features of former observances were at the celebration in increased abundance, except one-the rain. it rained, of course, but not in torrents that descended upon, and even through the roof of, the gymnasium last year. All day Friday the graduates and friends of the col- lege were arriving on every train, and by the time the exercises began over three hundred were present. At seven-thirty, the student body led by the band-and right here, we will say, it is some band-marched from the chapel to the gymnasium, where the alumni, faculty, and friends of the college were already gathered. The room was artistically decorated, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Ashcraft and his efficient com- mittee, and this with the enlivening music of the band served to put all in the spirit of the occasion, After the singing of Alma lllatef' and the giving of Colby, the long way and Colby, the short wayf' President Roberts arose, amid deafening cheers for Prexy, and assumed his duties as master of ceremonies. Professor H. XV. Brown was the first speaker called upon and, after telling of his due initiation as a member of the college, he spoke in glowing terms of the quality of the fresh- man class, the spirit of loyalty, and the fine fraternity life here, and the general spirit which prevails in the college, which, he thought, is a complex of lidelity, democracy, virility, and integrity. Cecil M. Daggett, '03, of Wfaterville, after relating a number of enter- taining stories, struck the keynote of the day by proposing a toast to i'The New Colby, its President, and the New Colby spirit. Principal Drew T. Harthorne, '94, of Coburn Classical Institute, was intro- duced as the new principal of a school that has been sending men to Colby for over 75 years. He told of what his class had done for Colby, by bringing to it PreXy, Dutchy, and johnny, Hedman, and closed his remarks by telling what love and loyalty to Colby really mean. The next speaker was none other than Doctor Marquardt, himself, without whose little word no Colby gathering could ever be complete. He spoke in his own well-known manner and his words were greeted by long cheers.
