'52 Q11 if Ilinrewnrh QN EV The ORACLE strives earnestly to review in part the Q5 Work of the year. Whether it has succeeded in presenting a faithful outline is for you to judge. To the critic's eye, its imperfections are manifest, for it would not presume to pass uncriticized. Indeed, that would be so severe a reproof that the most candid acknowledgment would be sweet harmony in its stead. Favorable or unfavorable, however, the ORACLE asks only that you be a just critic. iv The ORACLE Board offers this book in strict confidence that it represents its best effort-an effort which has consumed gb endless weary hours.

An illustration of the latter is the reply of Sancho to the Squire with the great nose: lt is with good reason that I pretend to have judgment in wine. This is a quality hereditary in our family. Two of my kinsmen were once called to give their opinion of a hogshead .... One of them tastes it, considers ity and, after mature reflection, pronounces the wine to be good were it not for a small taste of leather which he perceived in it. The other, after using the same precautions, gives also his verdict in favor of the wine, but with the reserve of a taste of iron which he could easily distinguish. Imagine how much they were both ridiculed for their judgment. But who laughed in the end? On emptying the hogshead, there was found an old key ring with a leathern thong tied to it. We, the Editors, do not presume to possess so splended a sense of dis- crimination as Sancho. What material goes to comprise our book will not permit of so fine a scrutiny for defects as did this famous wine. Even our merit, if we are thus favored, will be of a meagre sort for the reason that the ORACLE for 1920 is a meagre book. We have cut down on the various departments until they are actually threadbare, but through no inclination of our own. Material, in the present year book, comprises less than two-thirds of what we had under consideration last Fall. We have been obliged to reduce to almost endless reduction, simply because financial conditions at Colby prohibit the edition of a volume which could compare favorably with similar publications of other colleges in everything but the price. Printers' and engravers' rates on all ORACLE work have increased exactly 7091. since last year and our hopes for a banner book in this, our first centenary anniversary, are shattered. Do you wonder that we are almost helpless when it comes to delivering you a presentable book, now that you know with what we have to contend? All the same we shall consider ourselves generously rewarded, if our readers-no, not generous with their praise, nor relentless with their cen- sure-assume a neutral ground. Let them offer no consolation-the time for tears is past-but rather a constructive, sympathetic criticism. Criticism, in its ablest form, an art, demands a nicety and exactness of precision which only practice can give. It is this artistic criticism which We crave, one which will consider all points of the question and render a judgment uninfluenced by personal emotions. 10 Centennial Number fc: o1.,1aY ll19 L.?ACI ,Rs We feel, however, that there are two items which will, in a measure, compensate our many failings: the brief history of the College and a series of portraits of the various professors. With each of the first three portraits Cviz: President Roberts, Doctor Taylor, Doctor Marquardtl we have presented a printed paragraph. Each is typical of the man who, in every case, needs no introduction to the sons and daughters of Colby. Who is not acquainted with the blustering, boisterous impetuosity, yet with a genial good humor beneath the surface, of President Roberts? Who does not respect and honor the man whose life has been so wrapped up in Colby's welfare: Doctor Taylor? And, lastly, who does not remem- ber this characteristic pose of Doctor Marquardt as he stands before the class: I know mein friends ? The debt we owe these men no eulogy can mouthg but time will be powerless to rob us of memories of them. The other professors, who follow, are new men to most Colby graduates, yet they are men who are maintaining the high scholastic standing which always has been Colby's prestige. In the ORACLE of this year we have followed a suggestion which has come from several sources: Build up your literary department. We have done this,--at least in length. As for quality, we acknowledge that some of the material used is inferior to that ofprevious years. On sev- eral occasions, however, a personal touch is present which is of direct merit and charm, even inthe work of an amateur. The selections offered for your approval are varied. The article on Elijah Parish Lovejoy will not fail to arouse interest. Luigi, shall we say, is a touch of feminine philosophy. A condensation of Charles Dickens' Our Mutual Friend is cleverly done and portrays to a marked degree the humor of this author. One prize-winning article in the Hallowell Prize Speaking Contest is also given. We leave it to the reader to imagine all the force of oratorical eloquence which accompanied this essay. To the loyal sons and daughters of Colby who are returning for a few hours to her sacred shrine of learning, the Colby ORACLE extends a most cordial and heartfelt greeting. Indeed, it will be a privilege to welcome these friends and graduates of Colby who are putting forth every eiort to make Colby a bigger factor in the lives of young men and women. Ztnzknnurlehgnwnt To all those who have helped in any way to make our work a success, how can we express our thanks? Gratitude is more than mere words. Especial thanks are due to Dr. Libby and Prof. Chester, both of whom have been most cordial with their assistance and suggestions. The splendid work obtained through Miss Kidder, Art-Editor, and Prof. Brown deserves also special mention. 11 Centennial Nulnber fc o1.15YjlQg,97520IIQ1QAc,:I ,I-aj Gbftirew nf the Glurpnratinn President ARTHUR JEREMIAH ROBERTS, M.A. Waterville Vice-President, and em officio Chairman, Board of Trustees LESLIE COLBY CORNISH, LL.D.

HALL, LL.D., Librarian and Registrar in 19025 1902-1920 by THE EDITOR Colby College originated with the Bowdoinham Baptist Association, which in 1810 appointed a committee to consider the propriety of peti- tioning the legislature of Massachusetts to incorporate an institution in the district of Maine for the purpose of promoting literary and theological knowledge. Similar action was taken in 1811 by the Lincoln and the Cumberland Associations, and a petition prepared by the joint committees was presented to the Senate of Massachusetts by Rev. Caleb Blood in 1812. This petition stated that although the Baptists were undoubtedly more numerous in the district than any other denomination, yet they had no Seminary over which they had any control, and in which their religious young men might be educated under the particular inspection of able men of the same sentiments. This first petition for incorporation was not successful. The follow- ing year Rev. Daniel Merrill of Sedgwick was appointed to present a second petition and succeeded in obtaining a charter, approved February 27, 1813, for establishing a Literary Institution for the purpose of educat- ing youth, to be called and known by the name of the Maine Literary and Theological Institution. The title given was at that time a favorite designation attached to many seminaries of learning in which collegiate and theological classes were united. The trustees named in the charter soon organized with Rev. Sylvanus Boardman as chairman and Rev. Otis .Briggs as secretary, and entered upon the preliminary work of securing a suitable location for the Institu- tion. By a resolve dated February 15, 1815, township No. 3, originally purchased from the Indians, and embracing the territory now occupied by the towns of Alton and Argyle on the west bank of the Penobscot river, was granted to the Institution. This township had been selected by the trustees as the best selection, in their opinion, that can be made from the unlocated lands of the commonwealth for the establishment of the Institu- tion. It yielded an excellent growth of timber, the sale of which main- tained the young seminary for many years. The plan of locating the Institution on the very township granted was found impracticable, and in 1816 the legislature granted permission to locate and establish the build- ings in any town within the counties of Kennebec and Somerset. The corporation appointed a committee in 1817 to visit Farmington, Bloomfield and Waterville, towns which had expressed a desire to have the school, and eventually decided in favor of Waterville. The town authorities pledged three thousand dollars and the citizens subscribed two thousand in aid of the enlerprise. A tract of land eighty-six rods wide, extending from the Kennebec to the Messalonskee, was purchased of R. H. Gardner in 1818 for iB1,797.50, which amount was contributed by citizens of Waterville. This lot, contain- ing 179 acres, was afterward increased by the purchase of the Briggs 1.9 Centennial Number fc 0 LKYYMW 20 llQ1QAc:1.1f.-:E estate adjoining it on the south. The southern boundary of this land, which also extended from the Kennebec to the Messalonskee, coincided with the south line of the lot on which the Dutton house, owned by the College, now stands. In J une, 1818, upon petition of the trustees a bill was reported grant- ing four additional townships of land and 83,000 annually for the main- tenance of the Institution, but was referred to the next legislature for final action. At that session a number of printed petitions signed by citizens in several towns in Maine and Massachusetts, were offered, urging the passage of the bill. The language of these petitions, presented by Hon. Wm. King, a trustee and later governor of Maine, was severely criticised, and Gen. Alford Richardson, a trustee and member of legisla- ture, expressed great dissatisfaction on that account. This trivial cir- cumstance led to the failure of the bill by a vote to 13 to 10, and entailed upon the Institution many years of poverty and sacrifice. Rev. Jeremiah Chaplin of Danvers, Mass., who had charge of the theological students of the Massachusetts Baptist Education Society, was chosen professor of theology in February, 1818. Accompanied by his wife, two children, and several of his pupils, he sailed from Beverly, Mass., on board the sloop Hero, which brought the little company as far as Augusta. The remaining twenty miles to Waterville were accomplished in a long-boat, which Mrs. Chaplin in her journal describes as provided with sails and having a booth or cabin at one end. When the breeze failed them, the young men of the party landed and dragged the boat by a rope. On their arrival at Waterville they were met by a number of citizens, among whom was Hon. Timothy Boutelle, who made a short address of welcome and provided for their entertainment. Mrs. Chaplin's journal gratefully records the courteous reception accorded them by Mrs. Boutelle, Mrs. Clark and Mr. Partridge at this time, and it is mentioned that she found friendly neighbors who did not seem to be such ignorant, unculti- vated beings as some have imagined. It is gratifying also to read the following statement: Many of those whom I have seen appear to be people of education and refinement, nor have we been destitute of Christian company. 1 The new seminary was opened and instruction by Professor Chaplin commencedkluly 6, 1818, in a house standing where the Elmwood Hotel is now situated. In May, 1819, there were seventeen students in the theo- logical department. Tuition was fixed at 34.00 per quarter, board was obtained for 351.00 a week, and wood for 81.50 per cord. An Address to the Public, issued in 1819, proved that the school was established not as a theological seminary, but also for those who are desirous of engaging in any of the learned professions. Rev. Avery Briggs was chosen professor of languages and the literary department was opened by him in October, 1819, with twenty-five students. The first session of the legislature of the State of Maine in 1820, author- ized the college to confer such degrees as are usually conferred by uni- versities, -the sum of 351,000 annually for seven years was also voted, one-fourth for the tuition fees of needy students, a principle which was ' 20 Centennial Number is QIJBYHIQQU Qolomaxci I-aj generally followed in all the money grants to the College made by the legislature, which only amounts to 3514,500. The collegiate character of the young seminary was definitely declared in 1821 when the name of Waterville College was adopted. In May, 1822, Rev. Jeremiah Chaplin was elected president and on August 21 the first commencement exercises were held. A large concourse of people from towns in the vicinity assembled to witness the literary exercises. The procession, which continues to be a prominent feature of the day, was led by a band of music and a company of militia in uniform. George Dana Boardman and Ephraim Tripp constituted the graduating class and both served the College as tutors. Two buildings had now been erected on the College grounds after cutting away the dense growth of trees. A dwelling house for the presi- dent had been completed in 1819 on the site now occupied by Memorial Hall. In 1821 South College was built and eighteen rooms finished, besides fitting up a part of the building for a chapel. The second dormi- tory, known as North College and now called Chaplin Hall, was built in 1822. The mason work of both college buildings was done by Mr. Peter Getchell and the carpenter work by Mr. Lemuel Dunbar. The theological department of the College was of short duration. The first triennial catalogue, issued in 1825, gives the names of fifteen gradu- ates in theology. No record of any other students in this department appears in subsequent triennials. President Chaplin resigned in 1833, leaving the College provided with two brick dormitories, two dwelling houses for college officers, a large boarding house, a farm of 180 acres, two workshops, a good chemical and philosophical apparatus obtained at a cost of SL500, and a library of about 2,000 volumes. 1 After his death in 1841 the trustees passed resolutions in grateful remembrance of the able, untiring and successful labor of the late Presi- dent Chaplin, and a memorial tablet was placed on the wall of the College chapel. Rev. Rufus Babcock, Jr., succeeded President Chaplin in 1833.' It was a critical period. The College was in debt 318,000 and could not meet more than three-fifths of its current expenses. The popularity and efficiency of the new president soon completed a subscription to pay the debt and the catalogue of 1834 recorded the names of over one hundred students. The central brick building now called Champlin Hall was erected in 1836. The basement story was divided into four recitation rooms, above which was the college chapel, reached by a broad flight of steps outside. The story above the chapel was occupied on the north side by the library and on the south by the apparatus and class room for natural philosophy. The value of the College property was now 350,000 Rev. John O. Choules returned from England in 1836 with gifts of 1,500 volumes for the library, including a set of the folio volumes of the Records Commission and the Royal observatory. An attempt was now made to resume instruction in theological studies, 21 Centennial Number fc CIJIZSYHIQKK Qololmxcl ,EK but it was not continued after the resignation of Dr. Babcock in July, 1836, who was obliged to seek a milder climate. Rev. Robert E. Pattison, who had served as professor of mathematics in 1828-29, was chosen to succeed Dr. Babcock. Under his care the attendance was largely increased and the quality of the instruction rose to a high rank. Another effort was made to relieve the College from finan- cial embarrassment but without success. Dr. Pattison resigned the presidency in December, 1839, and several of the professors also tendered their resignations. By the influence of Prof. George W. Keely, the acting president, instruction was maintained and one more attempt made 'to Ellyn Qlnllcgc in 13511 secure funds. The citizens of Waterville responded liberally and 310,000 was at once subscribed, of which the ill-paid professors subscribed 32,000 Agents were sent out through Maine and Massachusetts and by December, 1840, subscriptions amounting to 550,000 were obtained. In August, 1841, Mr. Eliphaz Fay, an eminent teacher in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., was chosen president. The recent crisis affected the attendance, reducing the number of students in 1841-42 to only seventy-six. The resig- nation of' President Fay was accepted in August, 1843, and Rev. David N. Sheldon, then pastor of the Baptist church in Waterville, was chosen his successor. Under his care and with the co-operation of an able and devoted faculty, three of whom were subsequently eminent as college presi- dents, the earlier prestige of the College was revived and students presented themselves in larger number. 22 Centennial N umbev' ir: 01 ,DYHIQQQE 20Qlo1Q4xc:I.,1:-:jf Ten years passed in comparative quiet. The small income of the College was yet suflicient to meet its wants. In 1853 Dr. Sheldon retired to resume the work of the ministry, and Dr. Pattison, the beloved president of the College in 1836-1839, was recalled to the direction of its affairs. His second term of three years was marked by the intellectual vigor and devotedness of a Christian character of rare excellence. Prof. James T. Champlin, whose textbooks on the Orations of Demos- thenes were for thirty years in general use in American colleges, was pro- moted to the presidency of the College in 1857. Some efforts were made to solicit endowment funds. The classes entering in 1858 and 1859 were unusually large, but before graduation the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion had called many into the service of the nation. Only sixty-two students remained in 1864-65. Professors Smith, Lyford, Foster and Hamlin constituted the faculty of instruction. With the invested funds reduced to 315,000 and rapidly growing less, the outlook was indeed dark. The dawn of brighter days, however, was approaching. Mr. Gardner Colby of Boston, part of whose childhood had been spent in Waterville, came forward with an offer of 350,000 on condi- tion that the friends of the College raise 3100,000. Much enthusiasm was awakened by this generous offer, and Dr. Champlin, aided by members of the faculty, canvassed the state vigorously, completing the required sub- scription in about two years. In recognition of Mr. Colby's munificent gift, the trustees obtained from the legislature in 1867 an act changing the name of the College to Colby University. Mr. Colby's gift called forth other considerable gifts. Aided by the alumni, a memorial building was built of stone in 1869 at a cost of 8,550,000 Here the library found a home especially designed for its use, though its 9,000 volumes seemed lost on the spacious shelves built to contain 30,000 in the far-distant future. The new chapel accommodations wrought a marked change in the daily' services, now held at eight o'clock instead of at six in the morning and live in the afternoon. In the Memorial Hall was placed by the alumni a marble tablet inscribed with the names of twenty College men who had laid down their lives for the Union. The commencement dinner in 1870 was marked by great enthusiasm, culminating in pledges of 350,000 for a building for the department of natural sciences, then directed by Prof. Charles E. Hamlin. The building was finished in 1872 and styled Coburn Hall. The old chapel was remod- eled into convenient lecture rooms and named Champlin Hall. The early six-o'clock recitations were abandoned. Steam heating was introduced into the renovated North College now called Champlin Hall. These improvements were made under the direct supervision of President Champ- lin and paid for by subscriptions solicited mainly by him, and yet the invested funds had increased to 3S200,000. The semi-centennial of the College in 1870 was the occasion of an address by Dr. Champlin, in which he reviewed the early history of the College and its prospective and advancement. Hon. D. L. Milliken of Waterville, a trustee and benefactor of the College, was instrumental in 23 Centennial N nmbei' Iiiem nf the Qlullrge in 13911 fc CDLEYEQKQQ Qoilolqaxcl .EE obtaining from the State in 1864 a grant of two half-townships of land, the last gift from that source. In July, 1.872, Dr. Champlin tendered his resignation but remained in office at the request of the trustees one year longer, when he retired 'to devotehimself to literary pursuits. Rev. Henry E. Robins, D.D., of Rochester, N. Y., came to the presi- dency in 1873. He aroused new interest in the College. New courses of instruction were added and those long established infused with new life. The South College was renovated, the gymnasium made an important factor in college training, and the library, in the year of the great awaken- ing of library interest, was placed in charge of a paid librarian. The collection of the two literary societies, the Literary Fraternity, which was maintained from 1824 to 1878, and the Erosophian Adelphi from 1836 to 1876, were united with the College library. A gratifying increase in at- tendance followed, the highest number being 157 in 1879. On the death of Mr. Colby in 1879 the College received a bequest of EB120,000. The arduous labors of President Robins so undermined his health that he was obliged to spend the year 1880-81 in foreign travel, leaving Prof. S. K. Smith, D.D., as acting president, and in 1882 he resigned his position. Rev. George D. B. Pepper, D.D., succeeded President Robins in 1882 and administered the affairs of the College with great fidelity until failing health compelled him to resign in 1889. The average attendance during this period was about 120. Dr. Pepper developed measures for the im- provement of the work and finances of the College and advanced its repu- tation. Hon. Richard C. Shannon, who was graduated in 1862, erected in 1889 the brick building called the Shannon Observatory and Physical Lab- oratory, for the department then in charge of the eminent astronomer, Dr. William A. Rogers. President Pepper, in 1885, obtained the establish- ment of a new professorship of geology and mineralogy, to which Dr. W. S. Bayley of the U. S. Geological Survey was called. The professor of his- tory, Dr. A. W. Small, devoted a year's leave of absence to university study in Baltimore, supplementing an earlier course in Berlin. At Dr. Pepper's retirement the endowment funds had risen to S5505,767. His unexpected resignation was accompanied by a strong recommendation that Prof. Albion W. Small, Ph.D., be appointed his successor. The suggestion was at once ratified by the board of trustees and President Small, the first graduate of the College to be chosen to that oiiice, assumed his duties in August, 1889. His intimate knowledge of the conditions and limitations of the College enabled him to devise measures for improving its educational facilities and exerting a wider influence. To meet the growing demand for the higher education of young women Dr. Small conceived the plan which was at once put into successful operation of arranging for the instruction of the young women in separate classes, thus forming a co-ordinate college system. The plan of giving to the students some participation in the government of the collegiate body, proposed by Dr. Pepper, was developed and set in operation by President Small. In 1891 the number of students was 184. 25 Centennial Number ic 0 LJBY 1119335 20 11Q1QAoI.,1.-ij The University of Chicago called Dr. Small in 1892 to be the honored head of its department of sociology. An able successor to President Small was found in the young pastor of the Free Street Church in Portland, Rev. Benaiah L. Whitman, D.D., in whose first year, 1892-93, 206 students were enrolled. Courses in uni- versity extension work were oiered by several of the Colby professors between the years 1892 and 1900. The gymnasium was enlarged and fur- nished with baths and modern equipment in 1893, and physical training became an important adjunct to the curriculum. The vigorous and effi- cient administration of President Whitman attracted the notice of Colum- bia University in 1895, and he was called to the presidency of that institution. A second graduate of the College, Dr. Nathaniel Butler, whose father and grandfather had served as trustees of Waterville College, was induced to leave an important position in the University of Chicago to become president of Colby. Dr. Butler entered upon his duties in January, 1896, bringing a wide experience in college instruction and high ideals of the function of the college in the American educational system. Under his competent direction, intellectual, physical, and social education each received due consideration. The misleading title of university, assumed when our country had no real universities, was exchanged in 1899 for that of College at his instance. A subscription to raise 860,000, for new buildings and other purposes, received the approval of the citizens of Waterville at a public meeting called by the Board of Trade. The desired amount was obtained, Rev. N. T. Dutton acting as financial agent. The Alumni Chemical Hall was erected in 1898 at a cost of 830,000 A pledge that in due time a building for the Women's College should be built and furnished was received from a friend whose name was not yet made public. Rev. C. E. Gwen, after the decease of Mr. Dutton, was given charge of a second subscription of 860,000 and his appeals have met with favorable response. President Butler gradually brought the manifold details and diverse interests of all departments of college activity into harmonious and sys- tematic working. A marked improvement in College spirit and loyalty was awakened in the student body. His scholarly addresses at many lit- erary and educational gatherings reflected great honor upon the College and made its name more widely and honorably known. But the University of Chicago, which reluctantly parted with Dr. Butler in 1896, again claimed him in June, 1901, to take charge of an important division of its work. His resignation seemed like a public calamity, affect- ing not only the College, but the entire community, which had through him been brought to take an unusual interest in the welfare of the College. The trustees elected as the successor of President Butler, Rev. Charles L. White, D.D., of Hampton Falls, N. H., a graduate of Brown University, who entered upon his duties September lst, 1901. During his adminis- tration, although the endowment was not materially increased, yet, by the liquidation of certain outstanding debts of her fitting schools, the finances of the college were strengthened and stabilized. In 1903, Prof. Laban E. 26 Centennial Number 2icaroL,123YlgJg,E51520lloNAcI .RZ Warren resigned, after 28 years of service devoted to mathematics and art. His chair was taken by the late Prof. Curtis Hugh Ross Hatch. In 1902, the department of chemistry was enlarged by the addition of new apparatus and by the offering of advanced courses. This department has grown to be one of the most popular at Colby today, due perhaps to a vote of the Trustees, in 1903, to confer the degree of Bachelor of Science. It was also in this period that the Trustees voted to confer the degree B.A. without a knowledge of Greek. By the resignation, in 1902, of the Honor- able Percival Bonney, Treasurer of the College, 1881-1902, a long period of service was terminated. From beginning to end his integrity com- manded unquestioning confidence. His service was rendered con amofre. His devotion to the College wa.s recognized by all. In this period of the College history, two very generous bequests were received. In 1904, Mrs. Elizah Foss Dexter of Worcester offered 320,000 for the building of a women's dormitory. A promise of an additional 320,000 was announced for a future date and was received at the time of her decease some years later. Another bequest of generous proportion was that of 325,000 to be held as an additional endowment. At the annual meeting of the Trustees in 1907, plans were adopted and necessary official machinery established to consider the celebration of the Centennial in 1920. At this meeting Dr. E. C. Whittemore was appointed historian of the College. By special meeting in March, 1908, the Board met to consider the resig- nation of President Charles L. White, who had been elected Secretary to the American Baptist Home Missionary Society. It was at the close of this year of President White's administration that the financial conditions showed a margin above actual expenditures. Entering his administra- tion with a discouragingly large deficit and leaving with a margin of profit speaks for itself as to the sturdy, industrious, conscientious character of President White. The successor of President White was Professor Arthur Jeremiah Rob- erts, '90. Too ofiicious a title, even professor, we think! Prexy means infinitely more to our sentimental human natures. President Roberts early exhibited the progressive spirit which has been characteristic of his entire administration. He perceived that the future growth and development of Colby depended upon a strong financial system and a heavy endowment policy. In 1909 he avised the Board to take. action concerning membership in the Carnegie Foundation. Though no definite action was taken in favor of President Roberts's suggestion, it simply illustrates that the man was on the job from the beginning and had the best interests of the College at heart. In 1910 Professor Edward W. Hall, for twenty-five years Pro- fessor of Romance Languages and for thirty-seven years actively connected with the College, passed away. Professor Hall was exceedingly jealous always for the growth and prosperity of the College and to the best of his knowledge he gave practically the whole of his productive life in devoted service to her interests. In 1910 and again in 1914, due to congested rooming conditions in the Men's Division, two new dormitories, Roberts Hall and Hedman Hall, were erected at a cost of approximately 320,000 each. 27 Centennial Number fc c3L,1CsYlQ,35 20llODACI .RE During the administration of President Roberts, several bequests have been made to the College: in 1913, 375,000 from the estate of Levi M. Stew- art of Minneapolis, to be known as the Levi M. Stewart Fund, in 1915, William H. Snyder of Los Angeles gave a scholarship of 31,500g in 1916, Franklin Simmons of Portland gave a scholarship of 31,500 to be known as the Knox Scholarship. It was in 1915, after due deliberation with the Board and several com- munications with the General Educational Board of Rockefeller Founda- tion, that President Roberts began active campaign for the 5B500,000 endow- ment. The Educational Board pledged S125,000, providing the balance, 1 , s p .Mex ,A Illlrmnrial iliall 95375,000, be raised by June 1, 1919. Du'e to the war, this date has since been changed to June 1, 1920. At the meeting of the Trustees in 1916, President Roberts laid before the members assembled the plans for the endowment. He also announced thepledge of the Rockefeller Foundation. A general discussion by the Trustees followed his announcement. And then took place what we con- sider one of the most dramatic incidents in the history of Colby: Colonel Shannon addressed a few remarks to the Board, and in closing he pledged a sum identical to that which the Educational Board had pledged. We now quote from the minutes of the Secretary of the Meeting: No language of mine can describe the effect of Col. Shannon's announcement upon the Board of Trustees. There was an appreciable silence. Amazement and delight shone in the faces of all, tears of joy 28 Centennial N nmbev' iC'oL,i3Y1l19Q520i1QTQa.c1 .1-ei suffused the eyes of more than one member of the Board. Judge Cornish was, I think, the first man to speak. He said, 'I never expect to preside at an occasion that shall thrill me as Col. Shannon's speech has! Mean- while nearly all the members of the Board had risen to their feet. Two of them grasped Col. Shannon's handsg some applaudedg but it remained for Mr. Murray, who, as the secretary recalls him, had remained motion- less in his chair, to arise and say, 'Mr. Chairman:-May Dr. Padelford lead us in prayer ?' The members of the Board stood with bowed heads, while they listened to one of the most eloquent and heart-felt prayers of thanksgiving that ever fell from the lips of man. During the years 1917-18, not much progress on the Endowment Fund was made, because President Roberts felt that in so critical times every effort should be directed in the prosecution of the war and that college mat- ters should revert to second place when it was a question of a national crisis. In 1919, however, at the coming of peace, President Roberts again entered the campaign with renewed vigor. Contributions large and small have been received but the majority of the donations have been for small amounts. It is these small sums, carrying the message of personal incon- venience and sacrifice, which ennoble the task of the whole undertaking and which give the courage to drive on and on until the sum is reached. At the present writing about 325,000 remains to be raised. Commenting on the fact, President Roberts said, and he put it characteristically, too, I don't know where it's all coming from, but we're going to get it. Of a very recent date comes the announcement from the Inter-Church Movement: Colby will receive 5,700,000 for endowment purposes and an additional S150,000 for necessary improvements. This, with the original Endowment, will make a grand total of 51,350,000 Truly, the future of Colby need not be hampered by financial difficulties. Her back has been against the wall for a century, but she has now emerged into the open and is fighting strong. We might have made mention of other matters but they hold, in all reality, a secondary place in President Roberts's administration: of the new location of the library reading room now known as the Seaverns Reading Room, of the growing interest in athletics in the past ten yearsg of the establishment of military training at Colby, of the more than 700 Colby men who served in the Great War. His one aim, since assuming ofiice, has been to make Colby an independent institution, dependent upon her own resources. His success, words are too weak to laud. But he is the man to whom high tribute is due and the man in whom the hopes and aspirations of a century of predecessors are crystallized. Here is the man whose splendid achievement in the matter of the Endowment fund will be history as long as the old College lasts. A person of immature mind cannot realize the magnitude and far-reaching effects of President Roberts's accomplishment on the future of Colby. But a mature mind sees these thingsg more, it perceives the magnanimous spirit, domineering per- sistency, unflagging zeal, and dauntless courage of a son of Colby, who, in face of obstacles which would have downed the ordinary man, has assumed a debt which the gratitude even of Alma Mater herself cannot discharge. 29 Centennial Number 1 1 Z JN , W , Y tx . -- - - 1- -Y -- -1 s -.I '- L 1: -'-S3,?E.5 y , - ' M- - X 1-.'

Democracy has won and the mon- archical and military powers of Central Europe have lost. A new world is going to arise from the ruins. It has not yet crystallized into permanent shape. New prob- lems have to be solved, new resolutions to be made. In spite of the fact that the mfate- rial prosperity of our victorious country seems to be 'assured for the present, there is great danger to its continuance, if the most important questions are not handled with the highest wisdom. Bolshevism must be kept away from the American shores. It has turned the largest European country into a land of unheard-of misery. It advo- cates anarchy, rebellion and seditiong it aims at the destruction of the American Gov- ernment. Labor conflicts and strikes must be avoided, in order not to interfere with the development of our industrial life. Employers and employees must arrive at a better understanding. The high cost of living must not disturb the happiness of the homes of a large proportion of the people. Better international relations must be established with all nations to derive the greatest benefit from our wonderful resources, from our enormous export of raw materials and the ever-increasing demand for outlets. . Most important, too, is the educational system of our colleges and other higher institutions. We must study the languages of those nations that have been the recognized leaders in art, science, literature, education, and music. Instead of beach- ing prejudice, hatred, and intolerance, we must teach truth, love and fairness, the brotherhood of mankind. In the first century of its existence, Colby has preached and practiced truth, fairness and brotherly love. May she ever continue with that same spirit. A life of success and happiness will be the reward of everybody who co-operates with her for that purpose. Vivat, crescat, fioreat Colbianusl L!

Some day we expect this young man to come forth with a new theory on How to Blow up a Lab- oratory. We can picture him as the Squire of Gallup Mills with his 'feet perched on the stove of the count1'y store, in the midst of a circle of Vermont farmers, amusing them with his droll stories which were handed down to him by Christopher Columbus.

This distinguished young man, with the beaming countenance, has been the social leader of Waterville for four years, besides being a fusser of two degrees--the highest and the lowest. He can run a Dodge, an aeroplane, and women. We wonder how he gets away with it. He is also a connoisseur of alarm clocks, and all feminine arts, besides being an all-around good fellow and student.

This college would be a cleaner place were there more 'Brushes' around it. -Foss Hall Gabber. This scholarly Scotchman, with the sandy locks, has captivated all the co-eds with his gentlemanly ways and his artistic productions and ditties. With his quiet, unassuming ways, and capable mind, why need we wish him success? Every man, however, has his failing, and John's is that he is the nth power exponent of the Platonic Love Theory. 50 Centennial N amber pool 3iFsYjl19Q520 KDIQACI Pc EVERETT WHITE BUCKMAN, A T sz Buck Good Will High School, Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 4, Captain Baseball, 4, Football, 1, 2, 3, 4, Cap- tain Football, 4, Winning Team .Murray Prize Debate, Hallowell Prize Speaking Con- test, Junior Councilman, 3, President Ath- letic Council, Upsilon Beta, Epicureans, Wearer of the Cn, Track, 4. The most versatile man that Colby ever had. As a football player the Boston Herald called him a lion , as a debater and public speaker he has carried off prizes in college, as a musician he can manipulate the clarinet with the best of them, while his high scholarship entitles him to a place of honor. Buck has got an abundance of executive ability and a darn nice personality. We expect a lot from you, old man. Go to it! I ELLIOTT ELROY BUSE, fl! .X 60 . llMa.iah!!

Always on deck when there is hard work to be done, he has suzcess- fully piloted many through troubled seas.

He is too versatile-an orator, student, musician, social bug, an authority on most matters and, according to-his argument, always at least half right in every- thing. Us girls are certainly awed by that voice and by that picture in an artillery captain's uniform. Jasper is bound to make good.

LAURESTON CRAIG, A K E Larry, Texas Ace Island Falls High Schoolg 2nd Lieut., A. S. A., U. S. A. Dcbonair, charming, always with a bright answer, that's Larry. Ace because he crashed three planes in Texas. According to Larry's own testimony he never did pget out of a straight and narrow path-from the house to the dance hall. Yes, Larry, there will be a big place vacant in the social life of Waterville. LEWIS S.

For years now we have all been humble follow- ers of Dan, but none of us quite caught up with him. When Dan indulged in anything you could be sure that it was right, VVitness his derby. It is whis- pered that he is guilty of starting the fad of flap- ping Arctics. Dan also set styles for the boys in ranks and went in for athletics. Dan always is ready to walk, especially down Silver Street way. CHARLES SPURGEON EATON, A 'I' sz Purd Hebron Academyg Assistant Manager Football, 25 Druids. Purd has the very bad habit of talking in his sleep. One night I heard him say something about a full house and a little while later he yelled, I'll call you. I wonder what he meant. He is the only one in the house who can control the conduct of the ram after one o'clock in the Biofning. I wonder who put the icicle in Purd's ec. Genius is uncertain but the steadfast qualities possessed by this young man insures him a bright 'uture.

Ben is known as Doctor Grover's man Friday, He carries around a big bunch of keys and he can tell you all about the switches, levers and other dingises in the Physics Department. Sometimes he is a physicist, sometimes a chemist, and constantly a fusser. Ben has had a habit of making nocturnal voyages up into the wilds of Fairfield or somewhere in that neighborhood. But it is all a mystery. Right now he's got the cutest little hand-painted picture on his desk. Our last message to you, old man, is to be careful of the wild women. . 53 Centemzial Number 1 i O O 0 2 , ic oi JBYBFIQQQQ Qojolsaxcihq HUBERT A.

SEWELL LEIIOY FLAGG. lb A 00 assamxv Waterville High Schoolg Anti -saloon League Representative: Junior Prom Com- mittee, 3: Y. D. Club, 43 Sergeant A. E. F. Sam is gloomy but the best of fellows except when his fiancee is in town. Then he is absolutely irresponsible. The account of the woman in the case is terribly overworked, but Sam is a classic example of what the woman in the case will do. His record might be more appreciated if one should visit the art museum and see the work entitled The Jovial Doughboy on Leave in Paris. Sam is su1'e to do his share of work in this world. ALFRED LEONHARDT FRAAS, A 'I' Q Dutch Fitchburg High School, Baseball, 1, 2, 3, 45 Footballg Upsilon Betag Wearer of the UC. He's bow-legged. You can tell him a mile off. He's got sea legs and he never saw the sea. It is Dutch's ambition to be a manager of a traveling circus. Imagine the Dutchman with a pack of wild animals and a bunch of wild women. This man has the habit of yelling down three fiights of stairs to have a Freshman bring him a glass of water. Yes, he's hard on the Freshmen. Dutch is famous for being the only man that ever dropped a course in which he was pulling an A plus. 54 Centennial Number ic oL.PsY1ygW QOIIODAXCI .RE 'C l la ARTHUR MAIJISON GREELEY, A 'I' SZ Pop v- Oakland High School, Druids.

He is considered by all to be an authority on this mat- ter. Out in Pop's town he is both postmaster and constable. Here's wishing you the best of luck, old man, in getting control of your town. We might add that should you need any help, Seth Twichell could be procured.

After he has received his M. D. he will again mount the Acropolis, prepared to mend the hearts that he has broken. With his keen mind, Peanut is bound to be a success.

Pearly has the ability and the line to become a minister, but, alas, he has not the inclination. As Prof. Brown now regrets, so may Pearl some day regret that he did not choose this profession. But whatever you go into, Zero, you possess the ability to make good. Our best wishes are with you. RALPH K.

It is the one sickening dread of Curtis' life, that Foss Hall should hear of a certain-but, there, we mustn't tell on the boy. In some mysterious way, he manages to be the favorite of the faculty and the mainstay of Audet's Pool Room at the same time. As a convcrsationalist, Hatch is horribly effective, and yet some have been found who can stand him. Even so, Colby will seem just a little bit differ- ent next year, without this versatile and amiable product of Fairfield. DONALD GLEASON JACOBS, A Y Jake, Charlie East Pepperell, Mass., High School, Class Baseball, 1, 23 Class Track, 2 5 Varsity Foot- ball, 3, 45 All-Maine Team, 4, Wearer of HC!! Upon being granted his degree at midyears, after several starts since 1913, Jake remarked, Now I am educated, as it were, and pinned the letters B, S. on his sweater. His tales of Siberia, and the Wicks of Formosa, while an ensign in Uncle Sam's navy, were always highly entertaining, and equalled only his experience as a school teacher at Benton. The departure of this genial and pop- ular last of the Armadilloes has left a gap in the ranks which will never be filled. CoLBY BARTLETT KALLOCK, A K lc UKa1,?! llTOyiO7!

Do you see that little guy over there with the brown coat? Well, he took that from a German in No-Man's land. Oh, yes, he was out there several nights. In fact, he came to know the Boche very well. Not only was Jake a wonderful little soldier and probably went through more battles than any other Colby man, but he has also taken an active part in the college activities. His accomplishments on the diamond are known to all. Jake is one of those kind of fellows that you can't get along without. Always doing helpful things, lending a hand wherever needed and one that you can't help liking.

Although he comes from Cuba where people are supposed to be of an indolent disposition, Chick has a very large fund of energy. We shall miss Chick. We are sorry to state that he did not realize his ambition of being presented with an eighteen-foot cheerleader's HC. He will have to be satisfied with the common kind.

But these were entirely eclipsed by the large and varied assortment which he brought back after two years in France. He has weakness for one geometric figure-the triangle. His ingenuity is equalled only by his good nature. Lyman can always be depended upon in a pinch. ' 59 Centennial Number ic CDL,lg3Yl19e15920: o1QAc.:1 .1-aj HAROLD A. OSGOOD, .X X A Uogiei!

He used to be a social hound, but since Joe Daniels kicked him out of the Navy he has been faithful to a little girl down in Byfield.

' 65 Centennial Number .kit ' - fc OLBYHIQQQIE Qoilomaxcl ,153 Senior ibiatnrg The senior benches in the old chapel seemed far, far away to the eyes of the freshmen, who, on the twenty-fifth of September, 1916, filled the westernmost tier of seats to overfiowing. There were about a hundred and score of us. Nowadays, whenever all the men of 1920 appear in chapel, we cannot count over forty. Is it by Darwin's theory of the sur- vival of the fittest that we as seniors have only a third of our original one hundred and twenty'? We should not presume to say so, for our years spent at the feet of wisdom have taken from us, we trust, all the false and foolish pride we may have had before we entered Colby. We are merely the fortunate ones. ' The men of our class showed their worth in the Great War, many of them would be graduating with their fellows this June, were it not that their war experiences changed their plans, their hopes, and their outlooks. We men of the Class of 1920 shall always happily recall the associations of these past few yearsg we shall draw no sharp line between the grad- uates and the non-graduates, as we shall remember that we are all loyal sons of Colby. Loyalty,-that, after all, is the mark of a Colby man. Fortunate enough to graduate in this centennial year, we leave our Alma Mater with no regrets, save that of wishing to live our undergraduate days over again. The devoted labors of our instructors we shall never forget. Heaven only knows what grooves we may have chiseled on their brows. Their investment in our young lives shall of a certain be repaid somehow, at some time, with compound interest. In the momentous decades that lie ahead, God forbid that we should ever be ungrateful for these glorious years of nurture and growth, within the gates of dear old Colby. 66 Centennial Number fag- ,.-5.1- -' Qin -4 rm zsqwg-x-wi exam N. ..,. n 45 9 Kwx x mmvx AK?

Over seventy-five knowledge seeking, ambitious youths from various preparatory schools assembled at Colby in October of 1917. Phi Chi ceremoniousy initiated us into her sacred rites. Because it was during the strenuous days of the Great War, and because much was rightly expected from us, we obeyed Phi Chi to the best of our ability. And We did not a little to uphold the morale of the college. One by one, or in groups, our members left-in spite of Prexy's appeal to wait until the Government calls you. Soon there was scarcely a branch of Uncle Sam's service in which we were not represented. The forlorn benches in chapel bore mute witness to our patriotism. Then came the S. A. T. C. A good percentage of our number had been to the Plattsburg summer camp, and returned in October to help carry on at Colby. 1921 endured the trials of fledgling shavetails, the flu and other like scourges. Then came November 11th, memorable date! This year, although swelled by the addition of many returned students who were in the service, we are still far from our pristine strength in numbers. But it is in numbers only that we are inferior: our qualities are only too well attested to on the gridiron, the diamond, the forensic platform, and in all college activities. Our motto may well be Pro Col- legio, for we are all one in the determination to let the interests of Colby be our chief concern. And so, in this Centennial of our Alma Mater, let us guard well the torch of Colby spirit and ideals that the class of 1920 hands us. May it glow as fervently when we, in our turn, pass it to our successors! 69 Centennial Number I . ' xv- I .

Philip Hammond Woodworth Fairfield George Bernard Wolstenholme Svnnhumure iniaturg It was midst the din of battle that the illustrious class of 1922 matriculated at Colby. A branch of the Students Army Training Corps was established and we found ourselves in the army, preparing to become officers in the service of Uncle Sam. After the passing of the war period, we returned to Colby and began to carry out her established traditions. 1922 was painted in flagrant numerals on the gym roof. Phi Chi objected, guerilla warfare ensuedg the Seniors acted as mediatorsg result: the numerals came off, only to reappear in June. As Sophomores, the pace set in our initial year was kept. On Bloody Monday night, Phi Chi reigned in all its glory. It was then that the plastic Freshmen were moulded into worthy sons of Colby. Realizing that an active Sophomore Class could do much toward pro- moting Colby spirit, a Sophomore Hop was held-the first of its kind for many years. 72 Centennial Number A .-46 o ig 'vi X---f f. .IEF + , ,f 14115,-s?iEs1.27if. 1 3. .. -, ,.

Will that greenish-yellow mass of humanity below show some semblance of motion, so we may judge whether they live, or simply exist, dazed and bewildered by the shining heights above them? Phi Chi, arrayed in full war gala, and with old-time splendor, admin- istered the proper lotion on the proverbial Blody Monday Night. The effect, like April showers, was wonderful for the moment. It gave a brighter hue to the green, but as yet has failed to produce any signs of life. Shall we let them decay? No, they must be nourished till the vision comes. Treasures may lie hidden in those palpitating breasts-treasures that we little dream of. Perhaps there are some few among them who may respond to the spirit of Old Colby as it knocks at their hearts for admit- tance. Still others may have ambitions bright and noble enough to grow and develop under the artistic touches of Phi Chi. For the sake of those then, though they be few, let us hold our patience in bonds, tolerating, forbearing, as best we can under the circumstances. Some will die of old age before they have attempted to make a start, but judging from past experiences, we judge that most of them will be a credit to Colby and themselves.

Oh, you ought to see what A K Drew at the Phi Kappa House, investigate our statement and you will agree that she is an artist. A K is a Inethodical child and eihcient in the performance of her duties, too, whether they are those of House Chairman or as a student in advanced Economics. She is fond of long excursions for exercise f?J. She says, By all means get a Hudson for comfort and reliability. ALFREDA KING BOWIE, E li Freda Portland High School, Y. W. C.

Yes, she's dainty and small with heaps of light hair, Like the Violet, so modest and quiet you doubt if she's there. If it's advice and good counsel you need, in trouble or care, Freda is ready-with sympathy always a sorrow to share. Just ask her, if it's music or favors that need to he done, And now best of all, a pal and good sport, she's there on the fun! S0 .

Infinite riches in a little room may well be said of D1ck. But with that Senior dignity, wisdom, executiye ability, and above all that faculty of being a genuine friend, one soon forgets the little-ness of her. What she wants, she goes after and usually gets, even though she has to wait until the Fourth of July-for it. The sparklers of our National holi- day satisfy her now, but we expect that some day she will find one that lasts the whole year long. RETTA ELLEN SADIE CARTER Neighbor 'Hebron Academyg Y. W. C.

Rctta is capable, however, not only in the management of Prexy's finance, but the finance of many of her friends. In addition, she possesses an abundance of subtle and sparkling wit.

If you're looking for an all-around capable girl-here she is! Chase can do anything from acting the Crimson Stain to presenting difficult roles from Shakespeare.

The soft, velvety carpet was sprinkled with sunshine, sifting down through the green bower of elms. The white bridal wreath bordered the time-worn walks and lay banked against the dear old Chapel walls. Light-hearted groups gave vent to their spirits in gay snatches of song. Tennis rackets and baseball mits gave a touch of reality to the outward signs of spring. There were some who walked alone along these old college paths or in silent groups. There was no reason for rejoicing on their part. Each day was bringing them nearer to the end of the four best years of life. Everything stood out so plainly now-those first days, not so long ago, when as bewildered Freshmen a new world was entered. Every moment was filled with a new and throbbing life till the past seemed a vague dream and the present and future the real existence to be lived for. Sophomore days came, bringing all the confidence and self-assurance that belong to this period in every college student's life. Nothing seemed inconquerable. The wide world was panting for the aid which only a Sophomore could proffer. And then Junior days! Oh, happy Junior days! The Senior sighed to himself as he thought of all those days had contained. When true friend- ships were formedg when things took on normal proportions, full measure was given to every phase of life. Slowly and sadly the Senior entered the familiar old buildings and class rooms and trod the old cindered paths of the campus with lingering step. The grains in the hour glass were becoming few now. The end was at hand, but those four magic years, upon which the whole future was to be erected, a foundation of beautiful memories, firm friendships could not perish by a foolish decree of time. The Senior smiled contentedly. Time softens the harshness of bitter memories and enhances sweet ones. This the Senior had learned and he faced the future with courageous mien. 87 Centennial Number N K7 w s 3 I RX 0 .. ..... 5 n -- Ji.

Elfrieda Marie Whitney Honlton Clara Hammond Wightman Sanford Grace Evelyn Wilder Wilton Zluninr Gllaaa iliiatnrg In the light of Colby's glorious history there may have been classes that have lurked in the shadows, but the class of 1921 has never been so guilty. It will go down in history as one of the few classes that stood together against odds to bring about benencial innovations, that preferred patriotism to pleasure, that DARED TO DO. Under the heinous rule of Phi Chi we donned the verdant helmets of cambric, and swung our swagger sticks-all under the fiagrant reign of said Phi Chi. Protesting little, we patiently bided our time, believing that in as far as we supported the Freshman swagger stick with comeliness, just so far would we, as Sophomores, wield it as a spectral force to over- rule next year's Barbarism. When we came to our own as Sophomores many things happened to bring about a change in Phi Chidom -Phi Chi himself fell prey to the infiuenza plague, complications fprogressive ideasj set in, and he suc- cumbed to a graceful death. He was respectfully buried by the class of 1921. The hymn rendered at the funeral was: 'It wasn't the cough that carried him off, but the coiiin we carried him od in. Sorrow prevailed. His ghost appeared to us in the form of the Ku Klux Klan of '22, but it stole away suddenly at the approach of stern-faced Student Government, and we feel sure as long as Student Government endures, Phi Chi will never again disturb our peace. We cite this as only one of the many advancements brought about directly by our benign influence.

They massed their ranks in battle line, And in the early fall Took up the Sophomore challenge To a game of basketball. Well contested was the struggle, Discredit's due to none, But at last, as 'twas natural, The wiser Sophomores won. These maids of the class of twenty-three Came most prominently to view When they had a banquet strange In a fashion very new: One night dusk was falling- Away they softly stoleg Skowhegan and a sumptuous meal Was to be their goal. And now I pause ere I re-tell Of the manner unforeseen, In which the mighty hand of Fate Crushed those Freshmen, small and green. For with youthful lack of prudence They dined too late. They did not know That to Waterville till morning Trains had ceased to go. They slept that night on the hard, hard floor, Or under the starry sky, And how they yearned for dear Foss Hall, As the long, long hours crept by. But they are improving day by day- That escapade was the last. We shall make Sophomores of them yet, Ere many months have passed. 97 Centennial Nnnzber fc 0 Laksxfj ieggfi 20 11 OIQACEI' ,hz Special anh Jllnnlaaniiieh Marita Cooley Bingham Lillian U.

Cold, cold is winter's barren trail Across the heart of Maineg Here frigid tempests wildly wail, So great the storm king's pain. Cold rings the wicked ingrate's flail- Cuts mater's heart in twaing Her children's blood will never fail To heal it sound again.

'LIL fc: Q LBYHIQQU 2Qlo1Q2,xcL.1:iE Miaturg uf Betta lfappa iEimiluu Founded at'Yale, 1844. The Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity was founded at Yale. It was the third secret society organized in that institution. The object of the society was to associate literary pursuits. At the Hrst meeting the name was defi- nitely adopted and the badge selected from sketches made by the artist, Inman. The formative period of this society lasted until 1865. Yale, as a national institution, was watched closely in its treatment of the secret society. With a successful career in this college the secret society began to look to a program of expansion. A second chapter was founded at Bowdoin, November, 1844. Imbued with the missionary spirit, Theta chapter of Bowdoin brought the gospel to her nearest neighbor, Waterville College. At first there was here much faculty opposition. But on June 25, 1846, Xi Chapter was founded as the third chapter of the national organization and the first fraternity at Colby. On this date, largely through the work of Josiah H. Drummond, known as the father of Xi Chapter, nine students were initiated into the frater- nity. The fact was kept secret until the commencement at Bowdoin, when the Colby members attended, wearing pins. After this the pins were worn openly and the fraternity was recognized in college life. During the years 1856-58 the chapter was much reduced in numbers but with the entrance of a large delegation in the class '62 the future brightened. But the war came and the students of Waterville College answered the call to arms, and among the foremost were to be found the members of Delta Kappa Epsilon. At the close of the war the chapter was revived. But there were seven absent from our numbers who never returned. Their names are engraved on the tablet at the base of the Lion of Lucerne in the College Library. From 1860-1875 the fraternity rooms were in the old Bank Block at the foot of Main Street. In 1882 the Delta Kappa Epsilon Alumni Association of Maine, which has meant so much to the local chapter, was established in Portland. During the next thirty years while the nation was making great progress in industrial and financial expansion, the fraternity turned out men who could, with credit, fill their place in the work of national improvement. Again came a Great War. Fifty men were in the service from the active chapter while Xi was represented by 111 men from the chapter at large Brother Leslie Eddy was killed in action.

In the fall of 1849, under the leadership of Thomas H. Garnsey, a local society called the Alpha Omega was organized. The Alpha Omega met in its members' rooms during that year. Soon Zeta Psi came to the atten- tion of the members. Although that fraternity was but three years old, the members of Alpha Omega believed in its future growth and applied for a charter. The charter was granted and on Nov. 19, 1850, J. S. Barry and E. J. Peck, of the Zeta Psi chapter at Williams College, initiated the following men: T. H. Garnsey, A. B. Clark, W. H. Tucker, H. P. Kimball, W. G. Frye, B. F. Kelley, C. H. Davis, H. V. Pierce, Alfred Owen, S. R. Thurston, R. F. Stratton, J. F. Baldwin, Nathan Butler, and C. W. Lander. The initiation was held in room thirteen at the Elmwood Hotel. At first the Chapter was known as the Maine Alpha but later the letter Chi was adopted and has since been used. Thus Zeta Psi was started at Colby with sixteen charter members. The first Chapter Hall was in the Marston Block on the west side of Main Street, near the Unitarian Church. During the Civil War the Chi furnished fifty men out of its total mem- bership of one hundred and thirty-two. One of these was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Southern Army and one a Brigadier General in the Union Army. There were twenty-six commissioned men ranking from Colonels to Second Lieutenants. In the fall of 1865 seven men returned and nine were initiated. The Chapter was now well on its feet again. R. W. Dunn, 1868, was captain and pitcher of the first regular baseball club organized at Colby. The Chi has always been active in athletics. In 1884 the Chapter rooms were moved to the Burleigh Block at the corner of Main and Temple Streets. In 1897 the Chi moved to the south end of South College and has occupied it up to the present date. During the Great War the Chi sent her share of men into battle. Our service Hag had 83 stars on it, five of these were golden. Our badge is formed of a monogram of two Greek letters, Z and 111. The fraternity color is white, each chapter having a distinctive color. The flower is the white carnation. 119 Centennial Number Brita llpsilun Fourth ruw: H. A. Pvrkius, 122: Cf I..

Egg4Q,1',1Fs'NQ19ClQ-qeogioiasfzi .rg Mistnrg nf Brita illpailun Founded at Williams in 1834 The Delta Upsilon Fraternity was established at Colby in 1852. It was originally known as the Waterville Chapter, the name changing with that of the college. Since its foundation at Colby, over 68 years ago, it has held a prom- inent place in all things connected with the life of the college. During the period of the Civil War the chapter was forced to suspend primarily because so many of her members rallied to the cause of the Union. Of the 142 men Colby furnished in the Civil War, 40 were Delta Upsilon, five of whom paid the supreme sacrifice. Lieutenant Amasa Bigelow, '60, a Colby D. U., was distinguished for being the first Colby man to give his life in the service. - After the dark days of the Civil War had passed, this Chapter entered upon a new era ot' greater progress. In the public life of the Nation, State and College, the Colby Chapter of the Delta Upsilon has a worthy record. To the Nation she has given Bartlett Trip, '61, jurist and dip- lomat-in 1893 Trip was appointed by President Cleveland as Ambassa- dor to Austria, Major-General Henry C. Merriam, '62, Governor of Florida, the poet and author, Holman F. Day, '81, Jeremiah E. Burke, '85, Assistant Superintendent of Schools of Cincinnati, Ohio, Brig.-General Herbert M. Lord, '84, head of the Finance Department of the Army at presentg and many others were members of this Chapter. To the Pine Tree State she has given a governor, Llewellyn Powers, '61. To the College she has also made a notable contribution. Three Colbv Delta Upsilons are now serving on the Board of Trustees. The only Rhodes Scholar from Colby is Harold W. Soule, '14, of this Chapter. Lester F. Weeks, '15, is Assistant Professor of the Chemical Department of the College. Colby holds a marked record in the collegiate athletic world, and the Colby Chapter of Delta Upsilon is proud of its members who have been varsity pitchers: Colby Jack Coombs, '04, of national fame, Horace W. Newingham, '01, Ralph Good, '11, and Frank James, '15, are without exception the best that ever donned a uniform for a Colby nine. In Colby football history the names of the Good brothers will long be remembered. 4 The Colby Chapter of Delta Upsilon claims the distinction in the World War, as well as in the Civil War, of having the first Colby man to give his life in the service of his country. Murray A. Morgan, '15, was killed at Verdun on June 3, 1916. He enlisted in the Canadian Army before the United States entered the war and was a member of that famous Cana- dian Division- The Princess Patricia's. Two other Colby D. URS gave their life in the service- Edward P. Putnam, '07, and Herbert H. Fletcher, '19. The badge of the fraternity is a monogram of the letters, the A being placed over the Y. The colors of the fraternity are old gold and sapphire blue. 121 . Cwfztcnnial Number lahi Brita Gheia Third row: A. C. Hall. '23g S, H. Ayr-r. 221: H. T. Bloody. '22: R. KI. Grindlv. '22: H. T..

It was incorporated under the laws of that state in 1861. The six founders conceived the idea of a fraternity with the spirit of fellowship combined with scholarship. For several years, however, the members of the first three chapters were in fact members of a secret order, as they were compelled to meet in secret because of faculty disapproval of fraternities. Phi Delta Theta was the first fraternity to enter many of the colleges of the country. It came first into the states of Texas, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and South Dakota. In entering Texas, Phi Delta Theta was the first fraternity to crossithe Mississippi River. It was the object of the founders of the organization to have not a 'sectional fraternity, but a national fraternity, and in view of present conditions, it is clear that their hopes have been realized. Phi Delta Theta has absorbed many of the smaller societies. Maine Alpha was the sixteenth chapter of Phi Delta Theta to be founded. In March, 1884, a charter was granted to fourteen Colby men, constituting them the active Maine Alpha Chapter of the Fraternity. These men were of the classes of 1883-'84-'85-'86 and '87. Since that time the membership of the chapter has increased from fourteen to three hundred and thirty- seven. In the recent war, Maine Alpha of Phi Delta Theta did her part. Of the active chapter, there were forty-one men in the service of the country. Of these, twenty-one were in the A. E. F. Of this number, two never returned: John Arthur Stowell, '19, was killed in France and Norman Merrill, '14, died of influenza in the United States. The fraternity badge consists of a shield with a scroll bearing the letters QI: A to in the lower part of the Held and an eye in the upper part. A sword is attached to the shield by a chain. The white carnation is the fraternity fiower. 123 Centennial Number Rlpha Eau Q9mega Fifth rmv: T. A. Caxllughzm. '22: XY. T. Mora-land. '22: X. R. I.4-nvillv, 'ZZZSQ C. A. Klitvhc-ll. '2l: ll. li.

There they organized a society called Beta Epsilon. A constitu- tion for this society was drawn up and it is interesting to note the first article of the fundamental laws: This society shall be known as the Beta Epsilon Society, and is organ- ized by the students of Colby University for the purpose of mutual benefit, social and moral, and with the purpose of ultimately uniting with some national Greek Letter Fraternity which may be approved by the faculty. This society continued for seven months as Beta Epsilon. In June, 1892, the local chapter was installed as the Maine Gamma Alpha chapter of Alpha Tau Omega. From the first she has been watchful over the scholastic standing of her members. A custom that is still being continued is the monthly report of the individual member's academic standing. Members of Alpha Tau have entered into various walks of life. Many have entered the educational field or the ministry. Chief among the alumni are Victor Ray Jones, Professor of the Romance Languages at Lafayette Collegeg N. E. Wheeler, Professor of Physics at McGill University, and Professor John E. Hatch of West Point. ln our own state John L. Dyer has won an enviable reputation as an educator, having been principal at Ricker and now superintendent of schools at Camden. Percy Williams is prominent in educational work in Massachusetts. During the war the chapter contributed ninety-one of her members to the national service. This number does not include the fifteen who were in the service that were initiated after the close of the war. In the war Major Hatch proved an able leader of artillery. Major Charles A. Sturtevant invented severa.l devices to further the comfort of the soldiers sick with influenza. While laboring at Camp Devens, Mass., he contracted influenza and died a few days later. Hayes, '18, Wolcott, '18, and Gallier, '18, attained captaincies during the war. Six were lieuten- ants in the army, and seven held commissions in the navy. Twenty-six Colby A. T. O.'s were fighting in France. Three golden stars, glittering in our se1'vice flag, tell of the supreme sacrifice: Elvin D. Allen, '01 g Hugh Kelley, '21, Charles A. Sturtevant, '97. The badge is a cross forfmee of black enamel with a circular central panel upon which is shown in gold, a crescent near the top, three stars below the crescent, the letter TAU in the center and at the bottom two hands clasped. The colors of the fraternity are sky blue and old gold, and the fraternity fiower is the white tea rose. 125 Centcimial Number EHIIIIJDZI Glyi Rlplga Fourth row: G. J. Odom. '23: C. Pf':1Sl00.

The top floor of Roberts Hall was secured and used as quarters for this new organization. Soon after its founding the chapter admittedly ranked with the Colby chapters of national Greek letter fraternities. To maintain this position, the men soon saw that the only thing to do was to become affiliated with a strong national Greek letter fraternity. In the fall of 1915 the chapter secured as its new home the northern half of North College. In January, 1918, the chapter withdrew from the National Federation of Commons Clubs, becoming a local organization, Omicron Theta. Lambda Chi Alpha interested us. Consequently on May 29, 1918, Omicron Theta was installed as Alpha Rho Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha. Twenty- three men were sworn in at the installation. With the S. A. T. C. the fol- lowing autumn, fraternity matters came to a standstill. So it was not until January, 1919, that activities as a chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha were really started. Our greatest problem has been the reclaiming of our alumni to the new order. The process has been slow but, one by one, the men who so suc- cessfully built up the chapter have signed up with Lambda Chi Alpha. This year We have thirty-five active under-graduate members living in the house. Our badge is a crescent with the horns turned toward the left, and inclosing a monogram of the L. X. A. The colors are purple, green and gold. The flower is the violet. We have a secret publication called the Cross and The Crescent, also a quarterly magazine, The Purple, Green and Gold. 127 Cmztennial Number Iillgi Belta lilyi I.E:.I ww: IJ. Il. Ihxyrlmml, HIS: V.

The large number of non-fraternity men in college created the need of an organization to give them the privi- leges furnished by fraternity life. Pi Delta Phi was established to meet this need. The charter members of the fraternity were Oswald H. Rankin, '17 3 E. Gates, '19, Ernest L. McCormack, '19g Arthur G. Sanderson, '19g Henry L. Bell, '20g Cecil L. Berdeen, '20, and William C. Dudley, '20. These students laid the foundation upon which the social and scholastic life and brotherhood of Pi Delta Phi has been building since its beginning. High scholastic and moral standards in the college and a close bond of brother- hood among the members are the goals aimed toward by this society. The fraternity flower is the sweet pea. The fraternity colors are lav- ender and royal purple. The badge consists of the Greek characters, II A 111, built on each other successively, the fraternity jewels, amethysts and pearls, are set in the Greek letters. 129 Centennial Nmnlzm' Sigma Kappa Fourth row: M.

In that year, five women, Mary Caifrey Lowe, Elizabeth Gor- ham Hoagg, Ida M. Fuller, Louise Helen Coburn, and Frances E. Mann, braved the opposition and ignored the disapproval of all those--and they were many-who regarded a college education as a male monopoly. These early pioneers in the fight for higher education for women felt the need of strong bonds of sympathy and understanding, and it was to enable themselves better to fight their good fight that they organized the Sigma Kappa Sorority. As the number of women students at Colby increased from year to year, the sorority grew in membership. Alpha chapter finally became so large that Beta and Gamma chapters were established. Later, after the advent of other sororities, Beta and Gamma chapters were consolidated with the original organization. The violet was chosen as the oflicial flower of the sorority, and its chosen colors maroon and lavender. Later the triangle with the Sigma Kappa letters was adopted as the official seal. Some years after this, the sorority decided to venture a periodical publication. The Sigma Kappa Triangle was issued, proved successful, and is still appearing three times a year. Thirty years after the birth of the sorority, a chapter was organized at Boston University. Another appeared a year later at Syracuse University. Since that time the number has been steadily increasing, and at present there are twenty strong chapters of Sigma Kappa in the country. 131 Centennial N umbev' Qlhi Gmega 4 I I, . 4 ' rf, N' I I 4 T' f 4 Fourth row: Xvu Third row: Sylv Sc-cond row 1 -.,.

There are forty-two active and twenty- four alumnee chapters. The chapters located in New England are Beta at Colby College, Maine, Chi Alpha at Jackson College, Massachusetts: and Mu Alpha at New Hampshire State College. Chi Omega was the first woman's large Fraternity to enter Maine, the first woman's fraternity to establish a necrological chapter, and the first woman's national :fraternity to issue a strictly private magazine, which is called the Mystagogue,,' and which has been issued regularly since 1905. The fraternity journal, the Eleusis, issued quarterly since June, 1899, is the ofiicial publication of Chi Omega. The open motto is Hellenic Culture and Christian Ideals. The Gre- cian programme, which is a fixed feature of conventions, the observance of the Eleusinian festivals and the social, civic, and vocational service which each chapter undertakes reflect the open declaration. The colors are cardinal and straw, the flower, the white carnationg the jewels, dia- monds and pearls, the patron goddess, Demeter. The owl, the skull and cross bones, the number five, and the laurel are symbols. The badge is a golden monogram of the letters studded with fourteen pearls or diamonds and raised upon the face with the symbols QRho Beta Upsilon Eta Sigmah across the top, the skull and cross bones at the right, the owl at the left. Beta chapter at Colby resulted from Beta Phi, a local established here in 1895. This local, after consideration of the national fraternities, chose Chi Omega as best fitted to the ideals of Beta Phi. When Beta chapter was installed she had the honor of being installed by a Founder, Ina May Boles, on April 8, 1906. Chi Omegas have been active in war work, in woman's activities, in all that makes for woments rise and good. The symphony expresses the creed of those who wear the Chi Omega pin, thus: To live constantly above snobbery of word or deed, to place scholarship before social obligations, and character before appearances, to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive,' lovable rather than 'popular'3 to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand, to be womanly always, to be discouraged never 5 in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my fraternity and to her highest teachings, to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant notef' 133 Centennial Number Eelta Belia Evita 1, ,S :ng 1 S- ' 'TA Fourth row: Y.

F2101 Q15Yl19Q52oQO1Ac :I .li Miatnrg nf Evita Evita Evita Founded at Boston University in 1888 1 Delta Delta Delta was founded on Thanksgiving Eve, 1888, at Boston University. The two originators were Ida Shaw Martin and Eleanor Dorcas Pond, who were assisted by Isabella Breed and Florence Stewart. The sorority grew very rapidly. From the very beginning, it provided an organization for its alumnae, or so-called Alliances. Delta Delta Delta is unique in having a special constitution and ritual for its alumnae. This ritual is called The Circle Degree, and its members have a special pin. In 1891-three years after the founding of Tri-Delta-the first edition of The Trident was published. This magazine is issued quarterly. There are also: a secret annual- The Triremef' a secret quarterly- The Triton, a secret monthly- The Triglyph, and a sheet weekly-- The riad. In 1904, a new local sorority was founded at Colby under the name of Alpha Upsilon. In 1908, with sixteen strong members, it petitioned for a charter from the national sorority, Delta Delta Delta. The charter was readily granted in April of that year, and Alpha Upsilon became Alpha Upsilon chapter of Delta Delta Delta. This has always been an active chapter, and upholds its members in the highest ideals of fraternity life. The colors of Delta Delta Delta are silver, gold, and blue. Its flower is the pansy. Among the insignia are the trident, stars, crescent, sea, and pine tree. The oflicial pin is gold, in the shape of a crescent enclosing two stars on which a third star is supported. Each star bears a pearl, the fraternity jewel. On thecrescent are the three Greek letters, A A A. The fraternity patron is Poseidon, and the open motto is: Let us steadfastly love one another. Besides the aim of friendship, deep and abiding, Tri-Delta encourages the highest mental and spiritual development. Worthy scholarship is insisted upon. During the past four years a great deal of war work has been done, both by local chapters and Alliances. One of the important thingsfs the financing of the Foyer des Allies, at Tours, France. Several chapters have adopted war-orphans. Other kinds of charitable work are carried on at home also. The national sorority has established an Employment Bureau, which is of great assistance to many members. Delta Delta Delta has sixty chapters and sixty-live Alliances. Each year there is an average initiation of six hundred. In closing, I quote the words of the National Marshal: Thirty years of steady and sturdy devel- opment find Delta Delta Delta with a membership of approximately eight thousand women, and the longest chapter and alumnze roll of all of the Women's National College Greek-letter Societies. 135 Centennial N umber Alpha Brita iii -., Fourth row: M.

For years the sorority did not care to enlarge or to be made national. However, in 1905, it took out a national charter under the name of Alpha Delta Pi. From the time of national establishment new chapters were rapidly admitted until to-day it is represented in colleges from Maine to California. It is the sixth largest of all the nationals with an average annual initiation of three hundred, and total membership of four thousand. College rules have always been Alpha Delta Pi rules, and every girl is expected to live up to them. Each chapter has its own special altruistic work, while the national works for the Armenian War Relief. Each chapter supports a Belgian orphan. During the war one hundred per cent Red Cross membership was maintained and work done in every chapter. Each girl works for the moral and social uplift of the sorority. The sorority badge is diamond shaped, enameled in black, and bears two stars, a pair of clasped hands and the sorority letters in gold. The national flower is the single blue violet. The colors are pale blue and white. The sorority magazine, the Adelphian, is published four times a year. National conventions are held every two years at places of interest. Each chapter sends at least one delegate. The last convention occurred at Natural Bridge, Virginia, and was well attended. Alpha Delta, the Colby chapter of Alpha Delta Pi, was founded in 1905. A strong local chapter, first called Hynatia Society and later Alpha Phi Alpha, petitioned and was soon accepted and installed. Five years of national life have meant much to Alpha Delta, which is now a large, strong body of girls working together to attain the ideals of college and Alpha Delta Pi. 137 Centennial Number Iailgi Hin I' , W 'A' is 1 ' 'Un 'ourth row: M, A, Abbott, '23g L.

K QLBYHIQCQ5 QOHCJLBXCLIEE Miaturg nf lghi Zlilu Zlirateruitg Founded at Wesleyan College, Georgia, 1852 Phi Mu, which is the second oldest of Greek-letter societies for women, was founded at Wesleyan College, Macon, Ga., the first educational insti- tute for women given a charter by any state. On March 4, 1852, this organization became known to the public as the Philomathean Society. For a brief period during the Civil War there was a suspension of activi- ties, but resident members kept the organization alive. On August 23, 1904, the State of Georgia granted a charter to fifty-two petitioners and the fraternity became national. A second chapter was then established at Hollins College, Hollins, Va. Since then rapid extension has taken place. There are now thirty chapters and fifteen alumnae associations. The Chapter at Colby was organized by a group of nine girls in June, 1917. It was then known as the local, Gamma Delta. The following December a charter was granted it by the National Fraternity, and the next month installation as Beta Beta Chapter of Phi Mu took place. The badge of the Fraternity is a shield-shaped pin enameled in black. ln the center is a hand holding a heart, while above is a ribbon of gold bearing the Greek letters Phi Mu, and below a ribbon bearing three stars. The black enamel pledge pin, similar in shape to the badge, bears a gold fb. Like the colors, the jewels of Phi Mu, the ruby and the pearl, are rose and white, while the enchantress carnation, its flower, is rose-colored. An official publication, The Aglaia, is issued quarterly. Once in two years a national convention is held, the next is to be at Asheville, N. C., in July, 1921. The philanthropic work of the Fraternity has centered about its Y. W. C. A. worker in France since the end of the war. Thus Phi .Mu is serving in a Foyer des Allies and is being supported by the national organization. Individually, the chapters also perform social service work that the words of the Creed of Phi Mu may be made part of daily life: To lend to those less fortunate a helping hand, To walk in the Way of Honor, guarding the purity of our thoughts and deedsg To serve in the Light of Truth, avoiding egotism, narrowness and scorn, To practice day by day Love, Honor, Truthg thus keeping true to the meaning, spirit and reality of Phi Mu. 139 Centemzml Nwmbcr ic 01 ,BYHIQQQE QOIONAQL1.-ij Glu Eagan lfilnmf I weep and laugh alike, beloved Joyce, To think of thy stone-idle lyric voice So silent in the grave.

The summer of 1837 was one of great excitement in that little city. The events of that period were the beginnings of the great national crisis through which the country was to pass during the next half century. Uprisings against the critics of slavery were frequent, until they culminated in the murder of Elijah Parish Lovejoy, who died a martyr for free speech and freedom of the press. The death of Lovejoy at the hand of an infuriated mob was a matter of great concern and sorrow throughout the Northern States. Men real- ized that in his death a serious crime had been committed, not only against law and order, but against that sacred principle, freedom of speech. Elijah Parish Lovejoy was born in Albion, Maine, Nov. 8th, 1802. He was the son of a Congregational minister. As a child he showed great promise of being an exceptional student. At the age of four he mani- fested a desire for knowledge. The boy would take his copy book to his mother and, after being told a letter, would retire to a corner and there by printing it over and over again fix it indelibly in his memory. In this Way he learned to read at an early age and could be found, during his evening hours, delving into his father's collection of theological books. After exhausting these he had access to the town library, which furnished him with a varied collection of literature, and gave him a store of useful knowledge. His youth, however, was not spent entirely in reading, nor are we to get the impression that he was an abnormal being. His father, in addition to his pastorate, owned a farm, which the boy, in company with his brothers, operated. The life on a New England farm in those days was anything but one of ease, and Lovejoy's literary inclinations were pursued after his day with the plow or axe. In athletics he held his own with his friends. At swimming he sur- prised all in the neighborhood, nor was he the Hrst to give up in rough- and-tumble boyish antics. His elementary and preparato1'y studies were conducted in the begin- ning by his father and mother, but later he spent some time in Monmouth andlgglgina Academies. He entered Waterville College as a Sophomore in . . Little can be found that will give us an idea as to what influence Love- joy's college life had upon him. When we consider, however, some of the rules under which he lived our imaginations can in a small degree estimate the character of that influence. 180 Centennial Number 56701 4BYl19fQi 20jo1QAc1..1::j The college student of that day lived under a long category of must and must not. A student must attend chapel twice daily, go to church regularly, keep study periods of three hours morning and evening. A student must not smoke or use tobacco in any form, Walk abroad on Sun- day or during study periods, play any musical instrument on the Sabbath. Under this rigid discipline Lovejoy lived for three years, graduating in 1826 at the head of his class. For a few months after his graduation he was engaged in teaching, but in 1827 left New England to enter the promising fields of the West. He settled in St. Louis, where he again became a teacher, but after a few years entered Princeton to study Theology. Upon graduating from Princeton, he returned to St. Louis, where he became editor of The St. Louis Observer, the organ of the Presbyterians in Missouri and Illinois. It was here in connection with this paper that he began his public life which was to end so violently. The Observer was published in St. Louis until the destruction of the offices and press by a mob, when it was decided to continue the publication in Alton, Illinois. It was thought that in this city the paper would have better support. At Alton conditions proved to be no better than in St. Louis, for one press was destroyed before reaching the city, another after reaching its destination. It was while Lovejoy, with a party of friends, was defending another, that he was murdered by one of the attacking mob. We have followed with slight detail the life of the martyr, reviewing as nearly as possible the principle events of his life. It would only be doing justice to his name, if we were to consider briefly the place which he occupies in the history of our country. No less a man than Abraham Lincoln himself has said in effect, that the death of Lovejoy was the one greatest single event in our history. Such words, from such a man, must be considered seriously. To Lovejoy had been given the far-seeing vision. He had looked into the future and had seen that the United States was fast approaching a state of civil war. The cause of this impending breach was the slavery question. He saw the danger of a divided nation. He saw the injustice of a muzzled press. He must have realized that a great struggle was impending, a struggle that was to save his country, and turned not from his task of blazing the trail as a pioneer in the sacred cause of human liberty. Lovejoy never once faltered. He turned his face tv the front and plunged fearlessly on. He had set himself to a task. He had sworn eternal opposition to slavery and by the blessing of God would never turn back. While in St. Louis as the editor of the Observer he was advised to change his attitude on the question of slavery, and at the same time reso- lutions were drawn up by certain St. Louis citizens, upholding the revo- cation of free speech to abolitionists. His reply to both advice and criticism was characteristic of the man. Gentlemen, as long as I am an 181 Cerntcvfznial Number fc OILBYHIQH QOHCDDAUI American citizen, as long as American blood runs in my veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to write, to speak and to publish whatever I please on any subject, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same. He claimed that it was his right to publish whatever he wished on the abolition question, and that whether he would exercise that right or not was for him and not the mob to decide. , So Lovejoy lived through storm after storm in St. Louis and Alton. He was ridiculed, blasphemed and attacked, yet he struggled bravely on until death brought an end to his short yet eventful career. The place of the martyr in our history cannot be over-emphasized. l t was through him that the free North awoke from its slumbers. It was his death that inspired the oratory of Wendell Phillips, and set the pen of Whittier toits work. Lovejoy died, but his spirit, that which made him a man among men, still lives with us today. His name has passed into history but he has left us as a heritage a united nation, no North, no South, but a United States of America. HAROLD T. URIE, '20. ' Euigi To the casual observer, Luigi was one of those dark-browed Italians that we see in every city, nothing more. Yet he was in reality much more, he was a lover. Within his breast burned a fierce love for his wife, Carlotta. He had for her always a tender devotion, which made his neighbors laugh derisively at times, but his love was as deep as it was on the day of their marriage, when, in his impulsive way, he had emptied his pockets, and thrust the money into the hands of the astonished priest. He loved her with a mighty love-what more is there need to say? Carlotta, too, loved, in her way, but it was a rather selfish way--though the doting Luigi was blind to this, and so lived on in happiness. For it is not what our loved ones are that makes us happy,-it is what we think they are. Love lives by faith alone. In Carlotta's great dark eyes of softest brown, Luigi saw love for him, it was true and he was content. And so Carlotta's little schemings to get the best for herself-a bright red coat before Luigi should have the new drill he needed, tickets for her to the moving picture theatres, though her husband could not even afford to smoke now,-these and many others, Luigi regarded not as a woman's selfish and unreasonable demands, but as the rights which were her due. For, he loved Carlotta. Luigi was a skilled stone-cutter, and day after day he worked in the granite quarries just outside the city of Halifax, breathing the air laden with particles of stone-dust, while Carlotta in the snug little house near the water-front sniffed the fresh salt breeze which came through the tiny 182 . Centennial Number fc C31 ,1CsYl19f?520lo1Q5xcL.l.-ij window in the kitchen. His left hand, which turned the drill constantly as he pounded, was partly numb now, in the cold of winter the flesh on the back was a dead white, for the nerves were paralyzed by shock upon shock. But while there was work the pay was good, and Luigi was glad of the work which sent him home to Carlotta every week with a pay envelope. It was all for Lotta. One Saturday night in early April, however, he brought home a visitor to supper, a tall, dark man, with crisp, curly hair, eyes as inscrutable as two wells, and a smile which revealed two gleaming gold teeth, but told nothing at all of what lay behind the smile. Mister Navarro, of de United States! he announced formally to the waiting Carlotta, who curtsied gracefully. He my friend who have come to work now for a little while at the quarry. Mister Navarro is one foreman-yes, ver' fine job. He tell-a me about job for stone-cutters in his countree. We go, Lotta? Yes ? And no live-a here no more? was the half-fearful question. Da job here is-a almos' finish, an' it ees ver' fine in dese United States, Mister Navarro says. He always accented the U in United States very strongly. He tell-a me all about dis countreef' Carlotta rose to her duties as hostess. Will you be please to sit down ? she asked in her best manner. We have supper ver' queek. Her voice was soft and shy, and she flushed a little, for the stranger was very handsome, and his eyes were plainly admiring. She hurried to take from the stove the simple meal--spaghetti as large as noodles and as glutinous, baked with villainous yellow cheese, a delicious stew of meat and black gravy, and rounded slabs of coarse Italian bread, baked for hours until it had attained the consistency of shoe leather. After supper they sat, elbows resting upon the newspaper covering on the table, and talked. They talked of many things. but most of all they talked about the new country where Luigi and Carlotta were going to live. By da time of da feast of All Saints Day, we shall be in dese United States, and Luigi was enthusiastic over his plans. Oh, yes, Carlotta mia! I-ler eyes opened wide. And the great things we shall see! she breathed. Yes, echoed the stranger, the great things you will see are worth while to go to that country-but the money you will make there-it is so much more than here. He smiled and the gold teeth twinkled in the light of the smoky lamp. For although Carlotta was an excellent cook, yet she was a poor housekeeper. And so it was agreed that when the job at the quarry was finished, they would join the other stone-cutters which Navarro had recruited and go to the United States. And Mister Navarro was to board with them until the departure. But the best-laid plans gang aft a-gley, and these were never des- tined to be fulfilled. For within a few months Italy had entered . 183 Centennial Number ic CDLIBYHIQQQH QOHODACI .133 the Great War and Luigi had answered the call of his country. Carlotta begged him to stay with her but though her pleadings distressed, yet they could not turn him from his purpose. Could he love her with a worthy love, and yet not rise to the great need of Italy-Italy, who was in danger? He did not know how to express it in fair words with the poet, I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honor more, but that was what he meant. Only he could never make Carlotta understand. And so he set out with a troubled heart. Who knows if he would ever see his adored one again? Yet the government would provide for Lotta, and it was all for Italy. More than two years had passed and Carlotta still lived in the little house by the water-front. Mister Navarro had returned to America, but he had also come back to Halifax-had come back again and again-3 and now that many of her friends had gone, the lonely Carlotta was doubly glad to see him. He was so handsome, always so polite, she thought, com- paring him, consciously or not consciously, with Luigi. And when a woman begins to compare men with each other in her mind-the one she loves best is always the standard by which all others are measured. And now, in the chill of early winter, Mister Navarro was here again, sleek and well-dressed as ever, with fair words on his lips, and with meaning in his smiles. By the tiny kitchen window they sat in the dusk, watching the fishing schooners as they slipped easily in between great ocean liners docked farther up the harbor, like mice among huge plough horses. Finally Navarro spoke-and his voice purred softly- Lotta, I say to you now for the last time, 'Come with me! I am going tomorrow, and I shall not come back again. Four times I have come back to you, and four times you have said 'Wait till I hear he is dead! The woman thought rapidly. He was lying of course, when he said he would not come back for her again, and yet-what if he meant it? Caressingly she laid her hand over his. Just wait-a one month more, Anton, she pleaded. Perhaps I hear pretty soon from-from over da sea. But, he remonstrated, you haven't heard from him for six months -almost seven. He's dead, I'm sure. The seeming brutality in his bare words was but the all-oblivion of love. Carlotta was busy with her thoughts. She was sure that she loved the handsome, worldly-wise Navarro, but something had kept her from going with him, as yet-going away from the little home where she had lived since she was married, away to the unknown land. Would he come back again? May be I hear nex' week. Jus' wait-a one more week, she begged. His voice was an answering caress. Well, perhaps, two or three days more, my Lotta, was the concession. F And even as their lips met in a kiss that sealed the bargain, on the atter-deck of a huge gray ocean liner, there was sitting a bronzed soldier, looking out over the trackless ocean, and dreaming of the wife he was soon 184 Centennial Number fc QLBYBQCQEQ QOHODACI .RE to see again. He smiled tenderly to himself as he thought how glad Lotta would be that he was home again. Home! The flow of his pleasant thoughts was interrupted by the sound of heavy footsteps behind him. He turned-to find that his companion was a Canadian officer. Luigi rose stifiiy, but as quickly as he could, stepped aside and saluted. He limped decidedly. You sit-a down, Captain. Da night ees ver' fine. He fumbled his hands awkwardly. No, thank you, was the quick reply. I'll bring this camp-stool over and sit with you while I have my smoke. A long time they sat in silence, while he puffed away at his cigar. Dat music in da cabin, ees it all over? asked Luigi, sociably, after a while. No, the boys are still enjoying themselves. How does it happen you don't join in? I come out here to be quiet. I am ver' happy dat I be home pretty queek, and see my Carlotta-my wife. 1 His voice lingered over her name-he loved it. She bes, woman in da world, so pretty, so fine cook- he gesticulated volubly. I no hear from her for one long time, why, you think? Probably the damned Germans sank the mail boats. Many go down on the way, was the other's sympathetic comment. She ees waiting for me-I can see what it looks like now-our little white house down by da Water. Dere is one garden, and a beeg rock by da side. And I am home now for always, my leg, her ee's never good no more for fight. You go home to you wife too ? His embarrassment was quite gone, the oiiicer had such a friendly voice. No, replied the Canadian, a bit sadly. Then, after a pause, I have no one to be glad to see me.-How proud, how very proud your wife will be of the cross of war on your breast there! Luigi felt the man did not Want to talk about himself, for he went on, Where is your home ? In Halifax, da beeg city where dis ship ees go to. It ees one beeg town ! with a gesture of pride. Beeg, fine houses, trains, ships - But his eulogy of Halifax was abruptly cut short, for the officer was called away in the midst of it. For several days Luigi did not see his new-found friend again. One starlight night, however, when the stalwart Italian was sitting as usual, under the stars and dreaming bright dreams of the future, the Captain came again. He brought with him a message which had just been received by wireless. With a few bare words of explanation, he read to the expectant Luigi, his pocket flash light supplementing the yellow light of the moon. Belgian relief ship collided with ammunition transport in Halifax harbor. Waterfront blown up and wrecked by the explosion. Fire sweeping over the city. Your destination is New York Harbor. That was all, but it meant the world to Luigi. He started up, fell back limply, then clutched at the Captain's arm, bewildered, stunned. 185 ' Centennial N umber fc 0 LBYHIQCEUQOIQACLEE Ees it true? he demanded fiercely, Oh, ees dat true? Carlotta mia! Lotta ! Then he began to moan softly, like a frightened animal. He was so like a child, after all,-this big lover. The officer looked pityingly at the poor fellow whose dreams had 'turned to ashes, who but a moment ago, was radiant with happiness, but who was utterly crushed by the weight of his grief. I-I thought I'd tell you before you heard, stammered the oflicer awkwardly, because, well, because you would get it straight. There may be some hope yet, you know. Perhaps,-perhaps she got out in time, or- or is all right-somehow. His voice was uncertain at the finish, he felt helpless, he almost wished he had let the fellow find it out some other way. But then- I tank you! I tank you ! repeated Luigi absently. Yet how could this fine officer-friend of his say such terrible things? Oh, Carlotta! Lotta! he moaned in despair. His universe was in ruins before him, yet he snatched at the one ray of hope-that perhaps ! Yes, perhaps In a few days more the big transport had docked in New York Harbor, and Luigi, with hundreds of others, poured out of the ship into a train, and embarked for Canada. The journey seemed endless to the poor fellow, to his anxious impatience, the cars barely crawled, and the sight of happy couples in the cities through which they passed hurt like the twist of a knifeiin a wound. Still a faint hope drew him on. And Halifax! The city of desolation! But it was home to Luigi- home with a thousand new meanings-and when the train was forced to halt outside the city limits, he pressed on, limping painfully on his wounded leg. With difiiculty he made his way toward the harbor. A strict guard was maintained all along the water-front, but when they looked at his battered uniform and the mutely declaring cross on the scarlet ribbon at his breast, they allowed the soldier to pass. Some- thing in his face commanded, and would not be denied, it might have been sorrow, the universal master. At last he stood on the spot where his home had once been. The mighty boulder which had stood by the tiny garden4though deeply pitted and scarred as if by a super-giant's chisel-still marked the place. It was all too truejthen! But Lotta! Perhaps--! Feverishly he searched among the charred ruins for a trace-dreading unutterably to find what he sought. But nothing had survived that terrible blow. Luigi ran to the nearest guard. O, meester guard man! my Carlotta! Lotta mia! he broke out. His utterances were strange, but sorrow walked abroad in this city, and the guard nodded understandingly. Luigi pointed to the ruins of his home, and went on more calmly, Did dey find anybody in dat place? Did dey find any--da tings that ees lef' of people? He faltered pitifully, he' could not say the hideous thing that his Lotta might be. But the guard, though he spoke with a kindly sympathy, had no such delicate scruples. Yes, sir, he replied, touching his cap in deference to the cross of W ,W 186 Centennial N umber ic 01 ,BYHIQ 20lCQ1Q5xUL,l:? war, I think they did iind some bones over there by that big rock. Any- way, they found hundreds of them right around here. Lots of people were throwed a long ways, and there was no way of. tellin! who the bones belonged to, 'specially after the fire went over this part of the city. They put them all together at the morgue. You can go there, but I'm afraid there's no way to find anything you can be sure of. At sight of the anguish on Luigi's face, he went on more gently, But I wouldn't go over to that morgue, if I was you. It wouldn't do no good,-and I wouldn't go. So this was the end! The end of everything! He could bear to lose his home, his friends, his rugged strength-wasted away across the seas- but Carlotta! It was the supreme loss-the loss. He turned away numbly, his heart sick with a disease which no physician could cure. Life held nothing for him now. He would eke out a living with the strength he had left, and wait for Death, his friend. For would not Death take him to Lotta!

MADGE C. TOOKER, '20. Ellyn lilnappreciateh ilmmigrant One of the national problems we, as a nation, are facing today is the problem of the assimilation of our foreign-born population. In recent days, the analysis of the widespread social and political unrest shows in a large part, at least, that the appreciation for our national aims and ideals has been seriously lacking among the new Americans. We see perverted doctrines arising out of a combination of greater freedom and little knowledge. We ever hear rumors of revolution and the establishment of a Bolshevic regime. During the last few weeks the wholesale arrest and deportation of Bolshevic leaders and the exposure of their sinister designs have set us aghast. Our government has discovered none too soon these nests of anarchy. We have seen the very foundation of our nation threatened. So we are brought face to face with the situation in all its bald and alarming aspects. We know that it must take heroic measures to give 187 Centennial Number 22: CjL,13Y1I19Qfqw QQHQIQACI .RE back to our government the unquestioned stability it has heretofore pos- sessed, and we know further that those measures must consist in the thorough Americanization of the amenable and the deportation of those not amenable to our political ideals. The question of deportation is comparatively simple. Present laws, backed by the public opinion, will adequately correct this side of the prob- lem. Already army transports have begun to rid us of these men and women whose distorted political views make them a menace to the established government. But should we stop here, we have only partly solved the problem of Americanization. Admittedly, we have gone far when we have removed the superficial causes. But there is a vastly broader field awaiting our endeavor. We have now a great task to prevent the making of anar- chists in our own country. The newly-arrived immigrant is often hope- lessly confused as to what is expected of him. Political parties reach out to him and with seeming acts of kindness and candied words, insinuate that being an American consists in belonging to this or that party. Steamship companies and industrial concerns have exploited him. He has been lured to our shores by fair promises and then, far too often, has been forced to work under such conditions and in such surroundings that the bud of idealistic Americanism has been withered or frozen. There is current today an idea of Americanism that seems to be accepted at face value by most people. It is the idea that to be an Ameri- can the foreigner must, to be sure, learn our language and enter fully into the spirit of our political institutionsg but with this, he must also shed every particle of his customs, his habits and his practices. This nation- alistic theory would have him undergo a complete and absolute transition from everything bearing the old-world stamp and emerge a new individual upon whom we can place the impress of things American to the supreme degree. It would mean by that widely spoken term, one hundred per cent American, a change that would make him accept fully and without question all that we do, we say, and we are. But is such a theory one that will bear the best fruits of assimilation? Will the .effect of an iron-clad theory in practice make for unity in our whole national life? Is such a theory even based on truth and full knowledge of the facts? We set up our criterion of culture and say to the immigrant: Ameri- can culture is superior in every respect to the culture of every other country. Accept it in its entirety if you would be a 'One hundred per cent American'. Thereupon the Italian unconsciously compares his own 'music with American ragtime and wonders if in music America is superior to his Italia. The Greek with his native love of beauty unconsciously sees the fiaws in our yet undeveloped esthetic standards. The Russian with his spiritual tendencies sees nothing but gross materialism in our national life and he is led to the belief that we have here a mere capitalistic despotism. The Frenchman looks with horror and disgust on our unwarranted extrav- 188 Centennial Number ii: 0 IiI3i7jl19TQ5 QOHQJLQAXCLEE agance and wonders if, after all, American habits in this respect are superior to his own national habits of economy. And so we could continue. A theory that proposes to force the new American to adopt these non- essentials against his better judgment is already doomed to failure. History is all too full of examples of such failures to leave us in doubt as to the truth or falsity of the theory. In 1871 Germany took the French provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. Immediately, in the typically systematic German way, she attempted to force German Kultur on the people of the provinces. The German offi- cial class invaded every walk of their life. The complete introduction of the German language in their schools is historic. Germany meant by force and arbitrary methods to wean these provinces from the customs and traditions of France and to make the people wholly German. And with what result? For Gfty years Alsace and Lorraine kept the fires of patriotism aflame. On the surface German language and stand- ards of culture were accepted but the spirit was always French. During those years the people adopted a symbol, the pattern of a cross with two arms, called the Lorraine Cross. The second arm of the cross was sym- bolic of the people of Lorraine and it signified that they were in spirit forever united with France regardless of the vicissitudes history might have in store for her. The burdens of France were the burdens of Alsace and Lorraine. Try as they would, the Germans could not stamp out the spirit symbolized by the double Lorraine Cross. And, after the late war, when the Americans went through the provinces the only evidence of German Kultur they saw was boys playing at nine-pins in the streets of the towns. This, the German method, has been proved a failure. In the United States, we have some basic principles that it is the duty of the foreigner to accept. In fact, it is these very basic principles that first beckon to him and call him from his old-world environment to our land of great opportunity. The most fundamental is the firm belief in our democratic form of government and linked closely with it is our universal system of public education. Herein we believe we have attained heights of political freedom such as the old world cannot boast. Anything we can do to inculcate the immigrant with our democratic principles of govern- ment and so render him better fit to exercise suffrage, will, without question, be well repaid. But we should not force our rennement, our culture and our habits on the immigrant. The process of assimilation is not expedited by this inflexible attitude toward him. Not only is assimilation retarded but he feels himself an outsider and many times becomes antagonistic to every- thing American. In these non-essentials, we must meet the foreigner half way. We must rid ourselves of false notions and admit that while we have much to offer the immigrant, he also can add elements of worth to our national life. We must sanely face the fact that our civilization is not superior in all points. 189 Centeimicil Number 531 Q1 ,vsYll19Q75l20loL2iexcL,1::j It is this spirit of compromise that will soonest give us a sound policy of Americanization. When we put ourselves in his place and get his point of view, we are in a fair way to making Americans out of our foreign-born. JOHN F. CHOATE, '20. Winner of second prize, 1920 Goodwin Contest. Zktmnnplgere Charmingly dainty in a short gingham dress, with a pail of sand in one hand and a few sea-shells in the other, the little girl trudged slowly up the walk, tossing her golden curls in the sunlight as she went. Leaning over the fence, watching her with curious eyes, was the little boy who had recently moved into the next house. As the little girl caught sight of him she stopped and gazed at him with friendly eyes. Thinking to be neigh- borly, she approached the prospective play-mate, and politely oiered him her sand and shells. To her dismay he grabbed the humble gifts and, to her horror, threw them at her, at the same time pulling her hair with savage cruelty. Not daring to make any resistance for fear of being impolite, she bravely stood there, even smiling ever so faintly. Fortu- nately, the young savage's mother came to the rescue, and explained to the little girl that her son had never played with any little boys or girls, and did not know how to treat them. Undaunted in her efforts to secure the little boy as a play-mate, the little girl was finally successful and soon became the first and, for a long time, the only play-mate of the little boy. Strange to say, they got along very peaceably and became fast friends. But one day the little girl went away, and after a few letters exchanged at first it seemed unlikely that they would ever see or hear from each other again. Fifteen years later, Frances Fitzgerald, sitting at her desk in an attractive room of a girls' college dormitory, rehearsed this incident in her mind, while endeavoring to prepare a theme for her rhetoric class. lt was to be a love story, and she decided to work in this childhood episode. She had reached the romantic part in which the hero met the heroine in after life. She wrote and wrote, scratching out words, tearing up paper, and writlng again, but still she was dissatisfied with the results. Finally, she rose in despair and threw open the door, leading into the adjoining room. Girls ! she exclaimed, I simply can't write that story. I get as far as the love scene and can't get any further. Oh, for atmosphere, for a love story! Frances, why don't you advertise in the College Weekly, 'Wanted, a good-looking young man to supply atmosphere for a young-ahem- authoress. Apply at Atmosphere Box, Pembroke House, Greenwood Col- lege.' That ought to bring 'em, Franny. Clara Roberts dodged her head as if to avoid an expected pillow, but no pillow came. . 190 Centennial Number iCCDI ,BYHIQA JQOHQIQAQLJ.-31 Instead Frances stared at her with an inspired look. I'll do that little thing, Clara Roberts. You don't dare! challenged the girls. Don't I, though ? and Frances sat down at her desk to write what Clara had proposed, a dare. Her life had been full of adventures and she was always on the look-out for a new experience. And so, now, scenting a novel adventure, she dared to act upon the wild suggestion of one of her friends. In one of the rooms of a boys' fraternity house at Johnston College, not far from Greenwood College, Don Wetherby was lying on the couch, amusing himself by throwing up in the air pieces of candy sent to him by a girl friend, and commenting upon the dents made in the ceiling. His roommate, Gus Goddard, leaning comfortably back in his chair, with his feet resting on the desk, was reading the Johnston Weekly. Several boys strolled in from time to time, incidentally to help themselves to Don's candy. An exclamation from Gus caused the activity and idle conversation to cease. What do you know about that? Haw, Haw! Hi there, fellows, listen to this. Standing up in his chair to obtain the attention of his audience, Gus proceeded to read the advertisement of Frances Fitzgerald. She had indeed dared to write it, for there it was in print. However, it had to be read by each of the boys with his own eyes, before he would believe it. In order to prevent a mad rush to the telephone, Gus rapped on the desk to attract attention and proposed that lots be drawn, and that the lucky person should be the applicant from the Phi Gamma Delta house. Fate decreed that Don Wetherby should answer the strange advertisement. wk Pk Pk ik Pk wk bk Pk Pk Dk DK Pembroke House was a place of great excitement. Frances had been busy answering telephone calls all day, but had accepted the invitation of the applicant, a young man who had promised to come after her in a runabout. Frances was dressing herself before the mirror, while a group of excited girls watched her, hardly believing that Frances was really going to see it through. The door bell rang. A rush to the window and exclamations followed. Steps were heard, hurrying up the stairs, and the door burst open. He's come! He's come ! What's he like ? asked Frances and all the others in one breath. Oh--awfully good looking! He's tall and big, medium-brown curly hair, and wonderful eyes! He's just the one! cried Frances. But, Fran, you can't go automobiling. Miss Franklin would never allow it. Why, you'll get expelled 1 Just leave it to me, cried Frances, as she bounded to the door. - She met Miss Franklin at the bottom of the stairs. Oh, Miss Franklin, I want you to come in and meet my brother. He 191 Centennial Nun' 'wer Qt 01 ,BYJQQQU Qolomexcn .11-ij just came. You've heard me speak of him, the one who plays on the Princeton football team, and Frances dragged Miss Franklin into the reception room where Don Wetherby was waiting. Hello, Dick! I'm so glad to see you, she cried, as she rushed up to him. I want you to meet our matron, Miss Franklin. Miss Franklin, this is my wonderful brother, I've talked about so much. Frances winked at the astounded Don, who took the cue at once, and chatted a few minutes with Miss Franklin. Dick's going to take me for a little spin. I want him to see the country a bit. The unsuspecting matron beamed at the handsome figure of Don and let them go without a. word. Before Frances or Don knew it, they were spinning 05 on a smooth road, with the cool spring breezes blowing against their cheeks. Both were silent for some time. Frances tried to be natural and composed, while Don sought to appear indifferent and confident. She cast a sideways glance at him just in time to catch him stealing a glance at her, at which they both burst out laughing. So you are an authoress, Miss, er-Miss-? he inquired. Miss Davidson. Frances thought it discreet not to give her real name. She began by telling him the story she had commenced. He listened with intense interest. Miss Davidson, the child episode is true, is it not? Why, yes. How did you guess ? You were the little girl? She nodded. Miss Fitzgerald- She started as he called her by her right name. -Frances Fitzgerald, I am that little boy. You-you--what is your name ? Donald Wetherby. And he told her about himself, so that she was convinced that this was indeed her old playmate. They did not notice the darkening clouds, or feel the gentle rain drops. Spring is ever fickle, and a shower was threatening to destroy the per- fection of the beautiful spring evening. Harder the ran poured down, and a low rumble followed by a crash startled the adventurers. C-fad! We're going to have a thunder shower, said Don, as he stopped his machine to put up the top, just as a streak of lightning flashed across the sky. It will stop in a minute. We had better wait here under this tree, he added. h Once comfortable beside her again, he tucked a rubber robe about er. To think that you have remembered me all this time. I've often thought of you, my first playmate. You know, I've never been able to get along with any other girl half as well since, as with you. Jove, I must have been a savage youngster. 192 Centennial Number fc CLBYQIQCQE QOHQNACLEE Yes, but you were interesting. I guess thatis why I liked you,- because you were so savage- In order to hear each other above the pelting rain and frequent crashes of thunder, they drew their heads nearer and nearer together.

HYGS !!7 A crash of thunder drowned his words. He leaned nearer to her,- and during the next few minutes, she got enough atmosphere for the most thrilling of love stories. lt has stopped raining, she said. We must hurry home. Over the road she kept hurrying him, while a strange light shone in her eyes. Don misinterpreted this strange light. Having arrived at the house, she hastened to get out. Frances, why do you hurry so? I must see you again, Frances, and many, many more times. May I, Frances '? Why, yes, if you'll be nice, but remember, no more times like tonight. I've got my atmosphere. You were a successful applicant. Atmosphere ! Why, yes, have you forgotten the story where the little girl was to marry the little boy ? A Don clutched her by the arm almost savagely. And in real life the little girl will marry the little boy. Remember! Frances looked at him curiously, smiling ever so faintly, and rushed into the house. ESTHER M. POWER, '20. R iiiegenh nt' the St. Elvan For many years the tribe of the Mallecites had lived in peace in its lodges by the Saint Jean river. There had been no wars to take away its strength and its men, so it had grown and prospered. Little corn fields had sprung up in the forest's edge. Game was plentiful, for there had been no hostile incursions on its hunting ground. Here the good old chief Awasha had passed a quiet life, ruling with kindness and justice for all. And now his declining years were brightened by his lovely daughter, Wetonah. She was the fairest and best of all the Indian maidens. And always her father had impressed upon her that her Hrst thought must ever be for her tribe. So she had grown up the joy and pride of the village. Now it happened that in the moon of harvests, when the corn was ripe and the frost glistened each morning on the sides of the tepees, old Awasha went up the river several miles on a hunting trip. With him went his 193 Centeamial Number ic Q 1:123Yl19f'f35 2oQQ1Q2.xc1.Ej daughter and eight braves. They left the village at sunset and passed quickly out of their people's sight up the river. When they had gone but a few miles, they could hear a faint noise like the rushing of many waters. And the chief told his daughter that below them, on the other branch of the river, was a great water fall. An evil spirit, he said, dwelt there, who reached up and seized approaching canoesand hurled them into a torrent where they were dashed to pieces on the jagged rocks below. So, for many moons, no one had gone in that direction. Soon, urged on by the strong arms of the rowers, the party reached its destination and on a point of land encamped for the night. All was silent, save for the hooting of owls and other night sounds of the great forest. Wetonah and her father slept in their tepees, while, outside, the glistening forms of the attendants dozed around the dying embers. Suddenly the stillness was broken by the terrible war cry of the Blackfeet-a war party was upon them. Then, screams, moans, twangs of bow strings, thuds of tomahawks, and all was again silent, save the soft padding of the invaders' moccasined feet and the stifled sobbing from the couch where Wetonah lay. The war party had done its work well. A heavy hand seized her shrinking shoulder, and pulled her from beneath her blanket. Looking up, she gazed fearfully into the face of the Blackfoot chief, hideous in his war paint. Maiden, he said, daughter of the chief who was, you we have spared, and for a purpose. Tomorrow night, under cover of the darkness, you will guide us down the river to your village or,- he raised his tomahawk suggestively. Wetonah fell back. Take them to her village! Deliver it over to these agents of destruction and murder! Better death a thousand times than thus to betray her tribe and her father's memory. But if she refused, would they not go anyway? Then came a plan. O Chief, said she, only spare my life and I will guide you to my village. Next evening, in darkness, a war party of twenty canoes, filled with painted warriors, glided down the river. In the foremost canoe sat Wetonah, pale but composed, with an air of listening always. Whenthe night breeze bore to her ears the sound she had been waiting for, a faint roaring, she began to sing to keep the sound from her companions. Soon the fork of the river came into view and the chieftain looked at her questioningly. She pointed to the left without hesitation, but always her eyes seemed straying in the other direction. Soon a strong breeze seemed to rush to meet them and the roaring became distinctly louder. The chief glanced at his guide. Rapids, she said scornfully, O Chief, are you afraid to shoot them? The warrior shrugged his shoulders and they glided on. Louder and louder grew the noise, then suddenly the canoes seemed to be grasped by a mighty hand and to be fairly hurled forward. The faces of the warriors were wet with spray. Just at the brink of the awful precipice the canoes hesitated for a second. Then, Into thy hands, O Great Spirit, breathed Wetonah-and the party passed on. 194 Centennial Number itil ,1'3'ifl19Qb Qolomzaxcl ,1-ei libur mutual Zlirienh BY CHARLES DICKENS A Condensation The late owner of Harmony Jail, Mr. Harmon or Old Man Harmon as he was generally called, had been a most eccentric individual during his lifetime. With a basket and a ladder as the tools of his trade, he had thrown up miniature mountains of dust on his small estate,- coal dust, vegetable dust, bone dust . . . all manner of dust. He amassed a considerable fortune and with it a disposition as mean and selfish as his wealth was great. Because she refused to marry as he directed, he anathematized his daughter. When his son, John Harmon, a lad of fifteen, ventured to plead for his sister, he, too, was forbidden the paternal home. Shocked and terrified, the boy took Hight, got aboard a ship, and ulti- mately turned up on dry land among the Cape wine Where he became a small proprietor. Fifteen years passed, at the end of which Old Man Harmon died. His will, dated soon after the flight of his son, left the lowest of the range of dust mountains, with a dwelling house at its foot, to an old servant, Mr. Boffin, who was sole executor, and all the rest of the property-which was considerable-to his son fthe daughter having diedb. The son's inherit- ance was made conditional on his marrying a girl, who at the date of the will was a child of four, and who was now a marriageable young woman. Through extensive advertising, John Harmon, the heir, was located. He immediately took passage for England. On board the ship there was a man by the name of George Radfoot, serving as third mate, who resembled John in bulk and stature, and for whom John was frequently mistaken. As a result of these mistakes, Harmon and Radfoot struck up an acquaintance. John, however, was not in hearty approval of the terms of the will, and disliked the idea of being forced upon a mercenary wife. He confided as much to Radfoot, who at once suggested a plan to Harmon to which the latter readily assented. It was Radfoot's idea that they should both dress in common sailor's suits and remain in the neighborhood of Miss Bella Wilfer, Harmon's prospective wife. In this manner, Harmon could learn all about her without revealing himself. Arriving in London in a pouring rain at night, Radfoot escorted Harmon to a tavern on the river side. They entered a dark, evil-smell- ing room on the ground floor. Radfoot then handed a canvas bag which he had been carrying beneath his arm to Harmon, saying: 'You are very wet, Mr. Harmon, and I am quite dry Linder this good waterproof coat. Put on these clothes of mine .... While you change, I'll hurry the hot coffee! V 195 Centennial Number fc 6'L.15Yl19Q5 QUHCIQACL1.-ij By the time Radfoot came back, Harmon had completed the change of clothes. He drank the coffee that Radfoot passed him. Immediately he became conscious of a strange feeling creeping over him, and real- izing that he had been drugged, he rushed at Radfoot. Harmon dropped down and lay helpless on the floor! . . . Presently another man entered, and seeing Harmon's Valise in Radfoot's hands, at once attacked him .... The next thing Harmon remembered was the dim sensation of a downward slide through some sort of a tube or incline, after which he struck the river. In his drugged condition, more dead than alive, he succeeded, after many futile attempts, in reaching the shore. There the cold night air and the rain restored him. Next day, a body supposed to be that of John Harmon was found in the Thames. Not only were the clothes identical with those he had worn on shipboard, but also several papers were found upon the body which seemed'to complete the identification .... This misfortune gave the old executor, Mr. Nicodemus Bofiin, grave concern, and he forthwith offered a large reward for the apprehension of the murderer. Assuming the name of John Rokesmith, Harmon decided to make the most of his much-advertised demise. Accordingly, he sought the home of R. Wilfer, the father of his prospective bride. There he made the acquaintance of the family, and succeeded in renting some rooms in the house. 'Pa,' said Miss Bella, when Rokesmith had gone to his rooms, 'we have got a murderer for a tenant. Between Mr. Rokesmith and me there is a natural antipathy and a deep distrust, and something will come of it.' 'My dear girl,' answered Mr. Wilfer, 'between Mr. Rokesmith and me there is a matter of eight sovereigns and something for supper shall come of it, if you'll agree upon the article? PK Pk Pk Pk Pk Pk Silas Wegg was a small man, with a wooden leg. He was a knotty man, and coarse grained, with a face carved out of very hard material, that hadjust as much play of expression as a watchman's rattle. When he laughed certain jerks occurred in it and the rattle sprung? Every day for some years he had taken up his stand at Cavendish Square, with his meagre assortment of fruit and sweets, and his collec- tion of half-penny ballads that he offered for sale. On one windy morning Wegg was doing duty at his usual post, when he noticed a broad, round-shouldered, one-sided old fellow in mourning, coming corn- ically ambling toward the corner, drest in a pea overcoat and carrying a large stick. He was of an overlapping rhinoceros build, with folds in his cheeks, and his forehead, and his eyelids, and his lips, and his ears, but with bright, eager, childishly inquiring gray eyes, under his ragged eyebrows and his broad-brimmed hat. 'Morning, sir! Morning! Morning? was his greeting. 'Appears to be rather a 'arty old cock,' said Mr. Wegg, 'Good morning to you, sir.' 196 Centennial Number XC O IJBYIIQQE Qolomaxcl .L-aj 'How did you get your wooden leg? . . . 'In an accident,' Mr. Wegg replied tartly to this personal inquiry. 'Did you ever hear of the name of Boilin ?' 'No,' said Mr. Wegg, growing restive, 'I never did hear of the name of Boffinf 'Do you like it?' I i 'Why, no,' retorted Mr. Wegg, approaching desperation, 'I can't say that I do.' 'Why don't you like it?' 'I don't know why I don't,' retorted Mr. Wegg, approaching frenzy, 'but I don't at all.' 'Now I'll tell you something that'll make you sorry for that,' said the stranger, smiling. 'My name's Bofiinf 'I can't help itl' returned Mr. Wegg. Implying in his manner the offensive addition, 'and if I could, I wouldn't.' 'But there's still another chance for you,' said Mr. Boffin, still smiling. 'Do you like the name of Nicodemus? Think it over. Nick, or Noddy.' 'It is not, sir,' Mr. Wegg rejoined, as he sat down upon his stool, 'It is not a name as I could wish any one that I had a respect for to call me by, but there may be persons that would not view it with the same objections-I don't know why,' Mr. Wegg added, anticipating another question. 'Noddy BofI'in,' said that gentleman. 'Noddy. That's my name. Noddy-or Nick-Boffin.. What's your name ?' 'Silas Wegg.-I don't,' said Mr. Wegg, bestirring himself to take the same precaution as before, 'I don't know why Silas, and I don't know why Wegg.' 'Now, Wegg,' said Mr. Boflin, hugging his stick closer, 'I want to make a sort of offer to you.' The old gentleman outlined his plan to Wegg, who listened with renewed interest. At length a happy compromise was reachedg Wegg, a literary man with a wooden leg, as Bofiin termed him, for two crowns a week was to go to BofHn's house every night and read literary works to that estimable man. Thus was Bofl'1n's craving for learning to be satisfied. if DF Sk wk Sk Sl' It so happened that Rokesmith, presumably by chance but actually by design, met Mr. Boflin one day as he was walking along Fleet street. After a few aimless remarks, he asked the old gentleman for a position as his secretary. The old fellow replied that he already had a literary man with a wooden leg. On learning that Rokesmith was staying at the Wilfers', however, he asked him to call at his house within a week or two. Mr. and Mrs. Boflin decided to take Bella Wilfer, the unmarried bride of John Harmon, to live with them. Accordingly this generous, 197 Centennial N nmber fc 0 Ij1c5Y 1119535 20 1Io1T4xcL.1.-ij kind-hearted old couple went to see the Wilfers .... U After a prolonged conversation, arrangements were made whereby Miss Wilfer should live with the old people. . 'Bye-the-bye, ma'am,' said Mr. Boflin, turning back as he was going, 'you have a lodger?' I 'A gentleman,' Mrs. Wilfer answered, 'undoubtedly occupies our first floor! 'I may call him Our Mutual Friend,' said Mr. Boffin. 'What sort of a fellow is Our Mutual Friend, now? Do you like him'?' 'Mr. Rokesmith is very punctual, very quiet, and a very eligible inmate! IK Ulf HI' ik ik wk The Boffins moved into a palatial residence on Cavendish Square, leaving Wegg, the literary man with a wooden leg, as caretaker of the old homestead, Harmony Jail. Boiiin continued to make his trips to see Wegg, either at morning or night, when that worthy would read The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire or some other ponderous work to him. Rokesmith, whom Mr. Boffin finally decided to engage as secretary, established an office for himself in the new house, although he still retained his rooms at the Wilfers'. A shimmering coach, the latest acquisition of the Boffins, brought Miss Bella Wilfer to the Boffin mansion, where she became the life of the new household. 'An invaluable man is Rokesmithf said Mr. Boffin to Bella, after some two or three months. 'But I can't quite make him out.' Neither could Bella, so she found the subject rather interesting. 'My dear,' said Mr. Boflin, 'he won't meet any company here but you. When we have visitors, I should wish him to have his regular place at the table like ourselves, but no, he won't take it.' 'If he considers himself above it,' said Miss Bella, with an airy toss of her head, 'I should leave him alonef 'It ain't that, my dear,' replied Mr. Boflin, thinking it over. 'He don't consider himself above it. He simply objects to everybody, but you.' . 'Oho !' thought Bella. 'In--deed! Thais it, is it? . . . Rather cool in a secretary-and Pa's lodger-to make me the subject of his jealousy! Yet it was not so very long ago that Bella had been fluttered by the discovery that this same secretary and lodger seemed to like her. th! but the eminently aristocratic mansion had' not come into play t en. Soon after this incident, John Rokesmith proposed to Bella, and was indignantly rejected by that young lady, who said that such an idea was preposterous. About this time, Mr. Boflin, usually a kind and indulgent individual, began to change visibly. He upbraided Rokesmith for alleged neglect of his duties, urged him to be in constant attendance upon his affairs, 198 Centennial Number fco1i31aYi19G52oiO1QAc:I ,HE and cautioned him to remember his station. This arraignment took place in Mrs. Bofiin's and Bellais presence. After Rokesmith had left the room, Mrs. Boffin remonstrated with her husband in Rokesmith's behalf, but to no avail. As for Bella, she remained silent but thought that her benefactor had been a little too severe with the secretary. Mr. Bofiin changed in other ways, too. A mania to learn all about misers seeemed to have possessed him. Whenever he came across a book pertaining to misers, he bought it, and triumphantly carried it to Wegil, his literary man with a wooden leg. Then he would listen with rapt attention while Wegg perused page after page, book after book .... He imparted some of his feelings to Wegg, who began to grow crafty, shifty, and avaricious, and was wont to prowl around Harmony Jail at odd hours of the night, searching for imaginary treasures. BofHn's inclination to find faults with Rokesmith increased, his insolent remarks became more and more frequent, until at last his actions culminated in the discharge of Rokesmith. 'HI have borne,' said the secretary, in ablow voice, 'with my false position here, that I might not be separated from Miss Wilfer. To be near her has been a recompense to me from day to day, even for the undeserved treatment I have had here, and for the degraded aspect in which she has often seen me. Since Miss Wilfer rejected me, I have never again urged my suit, to the best of my belief, with a spoken syllable, or a look. But I have never changed in my devotion to her, except-if she will forgive my saying so-that it is deeper than it was, and better founded? Mr. Bofiin seemed incensed, and declared that Miss Wilfer was looking for a match for money, and not affections and hearts and lies. Bella, at this, denounced the Golden Dustman as a heartless old wretch, begged Rokesmith's forgiveness, and declared that she was going to return to her parents. if 'lf lk Ik lk Sk It was inevitable that John Rokesmith and Bella should marry: and so they married, and settled down in a delightful little cottage in Blackheath. g'Would you like to be rich, pet?' asked John coaxingly of Bella one nig t. 'Rich, John! How can you ask such a question ?' 'Do you regret anything, my love?' 'Regret anything? No l' Bella confidently answered. But then, sudgenly changing, she said: 'Oh, yes, I do, though. I regret Mrs. Bo n.' 'I, too, regret that separation very much. But perhaps it is only temporary.

Then who was so blest and happy as Mrs. John Rokesmith, saving and excepting Mr. John Rokesmith! 'Would you not like to be rich, now, darling 'Z' 'How can you ask me such a question, John, dear? Am I not rich ?' Some two or three months later, John brought the startling news to Bella that he was suspected of the murder of John Harmon. 'But, John, you cannot be suspectedl' Dear love, I can be-for I am.' How dare they?' cried Bella in a burst of generous indignation. 'Even knowing this, you can trust me, Bella?' asked John... 'I can trust you, John, dear. with all my soul. If I could not trust you, I should fall dead at your feet? I Being identified by the master and mate of the ship that he had taken passage to England on, John was cleared of the murder charge, much to Bella's mystiiication. 'And now,' said John, we must move to London. There's a dwelling house, rent-free, attached to my new position, and we must occupy it.' Imagine Bella's surprise next day, when the coach in which she and her husband were riding stopped before Mr. BoHin's house! . John caught her up in his arms and dashed into the house with her. Behold Mr. and Mrs. Boilin beaming! Behold Mrs. Bofiin clapping her hands in an ecstacy, running to Bella with tears in her eyes, and folding her to her breast with the words: 'My deary, deary, deary, wife of John, and mother of his little child! Welcome to your house and home, my dear !' Explanations followed for Bella, who was quite taken back and bewildered by the whole proceeding. Mrs. Bofiin told Bella that John Harmon had not been drowned at all, that she had recognized Rokesmith as Harmon at the startg and that the three of them fthe Boiiins and J ohnl had agreed to Mr. BoH'in's plan of persecution to find out whether Bella really cared for John. The' happy reunion had been realized at last. John Harmon had ful- Iilled the terms of the will, and come into his estate. That kindly old couple, the Boffins, were enjoying the happiest period of their lives. HK HK ak Sis Pk Bk Ill PF But Silas Wegg had made an important discovery at Harmony Jail. He had found a will, dated after the one which was on record, by which Harmon's entire property was left to the Crown. His shrewd mind at once conceived the scheme of making Mr. Bofiin pay a large sum of money for the paper. Accordingly, he presented himself at the Boftin mansion. There he demanded an enormous sum of money from Boflin, if he would have the will. John Harmon appeared upon the scene. 'Do you know what this paper is?' asked Wegg, sneering. 200 Centennial Number fcifol ,BYIQIQA QOHCDIKBXCJI ,1-aj 'Yes,' replied Harmon. 'It is a will of more recent date than the one proved by Mr. Boflinf 'Right you arel' cried Wegg. 'Then what's the paper worth?' 'Nothingf said Harmon. - Wegg repeated the word with a sneer, when, to his boundless amaze- ment, Harmon angrily grabbed him by the collar and shook him until his teeth chattered. 'You scoundrell' cried Harmon. 'I'd give a thousand pounds for permission to knock your brains out! Unfortunately for you, Wegg, Mr. Boflin has possession of the latest of the many wills made by my unhappy, self-tormenting father. That will gives everything absolutely to my noble benefactor, and yours,--Mr. Boflin .... I tried to make Mr. Boffin have the will legally established, but he would do so only on one condition. And that condition was that I accept all the property as it was left me in the original will. This thing has been done, without your knowledge. Consequently, Wegg, the paper that you hold in your hand is worthless. Now, sir, you can be gone !' Without more ado, Wegg, the literary 'man with a wooden leg, hastily stumped out of the house. ' . That night, John Harmon sat musing before the fireplace with his wife and child, while the Boffins looked contentedly on. Peace had come at last to the Harmon home. RAYMOND H.
