CD ► rtfatr In putting furth tliis second volume of tlie Colonial Echo, before the student- body, and the public, it has been the aim of tlie Board of Editors, not in the least, to make it the means of self-agtfi ' andizenient, but on the contrary, onl - as an humble tribute to the glories of William and Mary, and to arouse renewed interest in the welfare of this Institution of Learning, especially among the alumni, who ought to be proud of their Alma Mater, and if we in anywa} ' accomplish this end, we believe that we have not toiled without reward. The Colonial Echo of 1901 has been gotten out by the support of the student-body, and it has been the purpose all along to represent every Department of college life without any partiality. We have endeavored to maintain, and if possiljle. to raise the standard of the college annual, by arrangii;g the order of the book upon a new basis, and making improvements in any way we have thought best. Wherever there may be imper- fections, and we doubt not that there are some, we hope that our readers will in kindness, overlook and regard this volume as a successful, if not a perfect work.

A grant of land for the establishment of an Indian college and an English seminary of learn- ing at Henrico was made by the Virginia Company in 1619, and 1,500 was raised by the bishops — of England for the encouragement of Indian education. A colle- giate school was opened at Charles City in 1621, but was suspended by reason of the Indian massacre of 1622, and a second project, to found a ITniversity to be called Academia Virginiensis — et Oxoniesis — on an island near the mouth of the Susque- hanna, failed on account of the death of its chief advocate, Edward Palmer. In 1660 the colonial assembly of Virginia voted to purchase land for a college and free school. Subscriptions of money were received from Gov. Berkeley and others in the col- ony as well as in England, and in 1691 the assembly sent Rev. James Hlair, I). 1)., to secure a charter from the English crown. King William and Queen Mary ap- proved. The charter was signed in Feb. 1693, and the Government approiiriated, toward the support of the college, lands, funds, a duty ou exported tobacco, and all fees and profits arising from the office of surveyor-general. Dr. Blair became the first president. Six masters or professors, who were graduates of Oxford and Cam- bridge, were appointed. Several scholarships were founded, a school for Indians was established about 1697. and at Dr. 151aii ' s death (1743) the college was highly prosperous. It was tlii. ' Wfallhit-st colletje in America wht-ii Ur- Revolution broke out, but the war deprived it of all endowments, — save 20,000 acres of land, b - the sale 1)1 which a new moneyed endowment of about S2oo,() x5 was obtained. In 17.S1 the buil(linu;s were t)ccupied alternately by the liritish and the French and .■ merican troops, and while used as hospitals by the latter were injured b - fire. The college exercises, however, were interrnjited for a few months only. During the civil war the college was closed, the buildings and grounds were occupied by U. S. troops, and several buildings, together with the library and apparatus, were destroyed. In iS6g the main building was restored, and the college was reopen- ed: but in iS,sj financial embarrassment made it necessary to close its doors. In 1888 the general assembly of X ' irginia appropriated Sio.ooo a year, subsequently increased to 815,000 to establish in connection with collegiate training a system of normal instruction and traiuiug. The college was reopened in 1888 with a full faculty, and has since enjoyed fair success. In 1893, by an act of Congress, it received S6 ,ooo indenniifying it for losses sustained during the civil war. The present faculty consists of a president, Lyon G. Tyler, seven full pro- fessors, and four tutors. It confers the degrees of master of arts, bachelor of arts, bachelor of letters, and licentiate of instruction. There are seven depart- ments. As an adjunct to the department of pedagogy- a well equipped model school 10 is carried on in W ' illiainslmrg. The library contains about 10,000 volumes. The number of students in iS99- ' oo was 194. The institution is undenominational. Among its distinguished alumni have been Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and John Tyler, Presidents of the United States: Benjamin Harrison, Carter Braxton, Thomas Nelson, and George Wythe, who. with Jefferson, were signers of the Declaration of Independence : Edmund Randolph, chief draughtsman and author of tlie Constitution; Jolin Marsliali and liushrod Washington, jurists: and Lieut. General Winfield Scott. The Phi Beta Kappa Society, established to promote literature and patriotism among the youths of the colony, was founded at William and Mary in 1776. Until i 776 the chancellors of the college were, with several exceptions, the bishops of London. George Washington was chancellor i 789-99.

It was first organized at William and Mar_v College, on Deceml)er 5th, 1776, and nundiered among its first mend)ers John Marshall, Chief Justice of the ITnited States ; Spencer Roane, Judge of the ' irginia Supreme Court; William Short, Minister of the United States at the courts of Holland and Spain ; Samuel Hard ' , a leading mem- ber of the Continental Congress; John Brown and Stevens Tiiomsou Mason, Sena- tors of the Ihiited States, and John James Beckley, First Clerk of tlie House of Representatives and First Librarian of Congi ' ess. The Society has chapters at the leading institutions of learning. As it was the first intercollegiate society in the Ignited States with educational objects, so the key by which it is distinguished was the first educational prize for scholastic attainment, in the shape of an engraved medal. The original record of Proceed- ings from 1776 to 1781 is still in the possession of the College, and the original charter granted by the mother chapter of William and Mary to Harvard chapter, dated December 41)1, 1779, is still in the possession of that chapter. They will always be regarded as -euerable relics of our Re -olutionary fathers. In the selection of candidates for membership, the greatest care is taken ; meml) ' rship is equivalent to an honorary degi ' ee at any of the colleges, and con- fers upon the recipient special distinction. In its early days, the Society had an annual banquet at the old Raleigh Tav- ern so famous in ' irginia history. Special occasions, such as the departure ol ' a brother to continue his studies in F urope, were observed in a like manner; and the walls of the historic Apollo Hall at the Raleigh frequentlv resounded with jollity and mirth, voicing the good spirits of those distinguished youths. So man} ' of the members left college to enter the patriot army that, on Janu- 6th, 1780, it was resolved to place the papers and archives of the .Society in the hands of the College steward, to secure them during the confusion of the times. These papers were lost to sight until 1849, when they came into the possession of the Virginia Historical Society. By this .society, they were returned to the Virginia Alpha, of the Phi Beta Kappa Society after its revival in 1893. Before the closing of the College in 1781, FUisha Parmelee, a fi)rmer student of Yale and a graduate of Harvard, and at this time attending William and Mary, probably in Hon. (icorge Wythe ' s law class, petitioned for charters for Yale and Harvard. His petition was granted and these two New ICngland chapters began their famous career. F ' rom that time on, the Phi Beta Kapjia Society has had a famous history, membership therein being regarded as a high honor. In iSsd, it was found that one of the early members, William Short, was still ali e ; and it was determined to revive the mother chapter at William and Mary. With Mr. Short ' s co-operation, this was soon done: and the Society 23 started out uiKk-r tin.- presidency of Kc -. Silas ' I ' dttfr, D.D., 1,1..!)., Professor of M(jral Philoso])li -. In May, 1861, war again closed the College of William and Mary, and the Phi Beta Kappa Society suspended for thirty-two years. In ' Sejiteniber, 1893, the Society was again revived, tiie following officers being elected : C(jlonel Henjaniin S. liwell. President; Colonel William Land), Vice-President; (General William B. Taliaferro, Secretary. It was determined to call a meeting of all the memliers of the chapter, and to this end a card was j)ublished in the daily papers of Richmond, Norfold, Peters- burg, and L iicid)urg. On December 5th thereafter, a meeting was held, several new mendjers initiated, and the Society started out upon a new career of useful- ness and iionor. At this time, the mother chapter. Alpha of ' irginia, William and .Mary, has on her rolls some of the most distinguished literary men of Virgina, anil a few outside of the State. She has an annual celebration and collation, be- lieving still in jollity and mirth regulated by intellect and soul. The officers at present are: B. B. Munford, President; L. B. Whartun, ' ice- President; J. L. Hall, Secretary; ' . 1- . (iarrett, Treasurer. 24 Cijc 5oun5 jHrn ' s Cljnstiau association O f f I f f r s . H. Jacksox Da is, IC. M. Tkrrv, . W. T. Hodges, W.

Particularly is it iiecessar - to develop this side of a man ' s nature wliile he is shaping his character for after life. The Young Men ' s Ciiristian Association looks tu the liigliest and ultimate end (jf a man ' s life, and stri ' es to bring it aliout that while .i sUulent is aciiuiring the immediate preparation for his life he may not be lacking in the essential purpose of it. W ' e know that when a young man enters college, he passes through a period of uncertainty, before he decides in what direction he will spend his energies. It is a period of change and is liable to result in either tailure or success: hence a Christian inHuence thrown around one ' s life at this critical time means a great deal. This is what we stri e to do. Placing all upon the same footing and disregarding denominational ties, we work together foi ' the same purpose. It is impossible here to enter into a detailed discussion of the work in every department; but in going over our work of this session, we see that in some re- spects we have accomplished little while in others we have been remarkably suc- cessful, and we have every reason to feel encouraged. In the first place our new hall, that has been so long looked forward to, has been completed; and with the help of the Board of Visitors and the Ladies Auxiliary we have furnished it very comfortably. It is with great pleasure that we now hold our meetings there, and we are able also to keep it open for an hour every evenhig as a reading room ; and we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have helped us in this way. There still remains much to be done, but it is a great encourage- ment to us, and we feel that it will mark the beginning of more prosperous per- iod in the history of the association. With a total membership of seventy we have gone to work earnestly, and we believe that many good results have been accomplished. Our Sunday after- noon meetings have been well attended and much interest shown in them. Many also have availed themselves of the opportunities of Ur. Bishop ' s Friday night lectures. This feature of the association is indeed an important one, and these lectures have always been a great help to us. It is particularly encouraging to note the increase in Bible Study. This session we have a membership of twenty- three in our classes in The Life of Christ and Studies in the Acts and Epis- tles, besides nine members of the King ' s Household Bible Reader ' s Union. The Temperance and White Cross organizations have also quite a good member- ship. It is the aim of the missionary department to bring about a knowledge of the true conditions of missionary countries, to create an interest in missions, and to cultivate systematic giving to some definite purpose. The work done in this department has been encouraging though it is not what it might be. The month- ly missionary meetings have been attended with interest, and a mission study 26 class with a niembersbip of five was succeesfully conducted sttidyinj The K ' aii- gelization of the World in this Generation. Last vear we contributed the sum of twenty-five dollars to the support of Mr. Brocknian in China, and we hope to raise an equal amount for that purpose this session. Owing to our increased expenses this session, we have been unable to send as large a number of men to conventions as last session. But we sent a delegate to the state convention held at Roanoke in February, and we expect to send one to the Southern Student ' s Conference at Asheville in June. By no means is this an unimportant l)ranch of the Association ' s work. It gives a new impulse to the work going on, and gives an idea of the whole movement of the Young Men ' s Christian Association. Especially is it for the benefit of the leaders in giving them the necessary preparation for filling their responsible positions. H.J. 1).

Senior Class f)ifitorp It is till- sli. ' ic ' ()typ(.-(l ciisloni of class hislorians lo dfNonlly call uiioii the tie- jtarted shade ot the l- ' ather of History, and bewail the poverty of his ])en to ade- quately depict the .greatness and achievements of his class notes and proceed to show hy ulowinti flights of imagination in his Munchausen accounts that while the si)irit of historical accuracy has not guided his i en, the Genius of Fiction has made ample amends. It ha]ipens that the historian of the Senior class is a mod- est member of a most modest class. Hence many a noble achievement has pessed unobserved. Hut such gleams of genius which have incautiously burst forth during the past few years, the historian will endeavor to hint at as much as nia be consistent with the modest tenor of this im])ortant group of Seniors. The most concise and comprehensi ' e survey of this class, would consist in a biography of the past four years of the Senior President. For in the accomplishments and genius: in the virtues and vices of Jones we find reflected all that is good and bad in the Senior class of William and Mary. Not that Jones is the only thing in the Senior class but we find his abilities and his lack of them, his good and evil propensities strangely typical of that iiody of youths which boast of Jones as their President. .Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust ujion them, but to suitably describe the peculiar shade of greatness this gentleman possesses and from whence it comes would be a too deli- cate task for one who is unskilled in laudatory remarks. We are awed b)- the depths of his latent jiowers and the sublime heights of his ardent mind. We delight, rather, to dwell on his social con ivialit -, his edifying conversational power and the spirit of truthful accuracy which permeates the remarks emanating from this oracle. If Jones can only find a Boswell his fame is assured. Hut what of the ]5olitic and diplomatic Greshani, the intellectual limit, the tirilliant Bird, the athletic McCandlish and the industrious Harris and the other names which grace the roll of the Senior class? Well! the historian will turn prophet for a moment to predict that generations after, history and biography will record more achievements V)y these Seniors of 1901 than could be printed in a thousand Annuals. 34 % )t: DropI)rt ' s Bream It was a beautiful eveniusj; in the latter part vf May. I was lying under one t)f the large trees en the college campus idly musing iii)i)n college life, when I suddenly fell into a deep sleep. As I slept the dark veil which hides the future was lifted froni my eyes, and I caught a glimpse of the mysterious bej ' ond. At first I was unable to clearly distinguish anything, l)ut when my eyes had become accustomed to the mystic light which sun ' ounded everything I saw pass before me. like a panorama, scenes from the lives of my fourteen classmates. The first scene presented to my astonished gaze the interior of a large crowded newspaper office, clerks, reporter and literary hacks were hurrying in a confused mass to the desk of the senior editor. He was a tall odd looking man and I wondered where I had seen him before, for there was something fimiiliar about his face. Suddenly he sniiletl and I knew it was Randolph Bird. Indeed he looked so natural that I wondered why I had not recognized him sooner. When I observed him more closely, however, I discovered that he was quite bald, and like the great Carthagenian general, had lost one eye. While I was bewailing the wreck of this once good looking man I was suddenly transferred to another part of the world and he was lost to my view. I then found myself in the operating room of a large hospital. Theinu ' ses and doctors had collected art)und the operating table, the ' were waiting for the head doctor. A few minutes later he hurried in and in a short while successfully per- formed the operation . Whilel wondered whothe celebrated doctor couldbe 1 heard one of the nurses address him as Dr. Chalmers, and then I knew that it was Hor- ace Chalmers of the class of 1901. His nose and chin were about six inches long and threatened to meet when he talked. I had no time for future observation for there was another change in the scene. I saw before me beautiful green hills and fields of golden grain. It was har- vest, time and a large crowd of farm hands were busily engaged gathering in the crops. In the midst of the workers I saw riding upon a magnificent blooded horse a stout, hardy, old man whom one could see at a glance was the proprietor. He spoke to one of his men, he laughed, and then 1 knew that he was the meek member of our class — Meek H. Co])enha er. The picture faded away and then I saw before me a crowded court room. The commonwealth attorney arose and addressed the jury. 11 is audience was spellboiuid by his ehxjuence and when he sat down his name was ujion every lip. I heard the people on all sides jiraisingthe young commonwealth attorney Hawes Davies of Manassas. The lawyer for the defendant claimed, howexer, that the jury had been intimidated by the facial e.Kpressions of Mr. na -ies and a new trial was granted. The scene shifted and I found m self in the lecture room of a large Univer- sity. The students were hanging in breathless interest upon the words of their 35 learned professor. He was a large, well built, middle aged man, and wore a pair of douhle-harrel spectacles. Upon a large gold watch which was lying upon his desk the name of (■. . . Dodge was engraved, and I knew it was oi;r old iMcnch and Oerman Instiuctor. Then suddenly I w,is transferred to another iiail (jf the country. I I ' ound ni self upon the hanks of the Hudson in sight of the Military Acad- emy, droups of olTicers and cadets were strolling about the well kept grounds. I looked among them in hopes of finding some mend)er of the class of icjoi. I was not disapjiointed. There passed before me a group of -ery gav yoimg oiTi- cers and in tlieir midst 1 recognized T. 15. llurst. He was but slightly changed and looked in his tight fitting uniform not unlike I imagined the young I ' ' rench cor]ioral looked on the da ' that he turned the cannon on the mob as they came up the Boulevard. There was a change in the scene. I saw the interior of a large, coinlortable sitting room. A bright fire burnt in the ojien fne-place and a sweet face woman sat before it reading to five golden haired children. The door opened and a man with a frank, kind, open face, stepped into the room. He was dressed like a clergyman and the lady addressed him as Harry. I knew at once that is was my classmate Harr - Hunt, and that it was his wife and children wlio were seated around the fire. I attempted to speak to him, but uas borne away to the great city of New York by some invisible power. 1 foand mysilf standing in front of one of the great banking houses. The door opened, and the ])resident of the bank came out, stepped quickly into his carriage and was driven rapidly away. I glanced at the name above the d(jor and read : — W. P. H.XRRis Son, Ba)ikcrs. Then I knew that the millionaire Ijank president who had just drived away was W. P. Harris, .secretary of the class of 1901 . Like a flash the scene changed and I saw before me the interior of an ele- gantly furnished library. At a small table near the center of the room sat two men, an elderly gentleman and a j-oung man about twenty-four or five years old. I saw at once that it was some distinguished man conferring with his secretary. After they had talked a short while the young man began to read the morning mail to his chief. Then I learned that the elderly gentleman n-as a distinguished author. I glanced at one of the letters lying upon the table ; it was directed to Robert M. Jones, I ' is(|. The president of the class of 1901 had become a dis- tinguished author. A change came over the spirit of my my dream, I found myself in a great political convention. One distinguished statesman after another arose and ad- dressed the meeting, and finally the chairman of the irginia delegation stepped forward. He completely captivated his audience and when he sat down there arose a thundering applause. A scene of the greatest excitement followed and in a short while it was announced that F. S. McCandlish had been chosen as the presidential nominee of the Prohibition party. Once more I felt myself floating through spaces ami in a sIkmI w liik- funnd myself in a room of the Capitol at Washington. Before me sat the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the eight Associate Judges. The Chief Justice looked very solemn in his long black robe, Init his nose had a slight upward turn, which added anything but a dignified look to his face. I heard him addressed as Judge Scott and knew at once that the great judge that sat before me was F. G. Scott, a member of the class of lyoi. A change came over the spirit of my dream. I stood in a large electrical laboratory. On all sides there were strange and new electrical machines. I be- lieved that I was in the laboratoray of Thomas A. Kdison, and looked around in hopes of discovering the great inventor. The only occupant of the room was a little shriveled up man, who I knew at once was not Ivlison. A few minutes later a young man, who appeared to be a new.spaper man, came into the I ' ooni. He stepped up to the little man and introduced himself as a reporter of the New York Journal. He then asked him numerous questions about his latest invention. In leaving the room he addres.-;ed the little wizard as Dr. Selden — the sm allest mem- per of our senior class had become a second Edison. In an incredibly short time the scene changed. I found miself in the large shipyards at Newport News, ' irginia. A great man-of-war was aliiUit to be launched. As the great ship glided into the water, a beautiful young girl stepped forward and broke a bottle of champagne upon the prow. While I was wonder- ing who the beautiful sponser could be, I heard some one say she was Miss Sprat- ley, the daughter of the great milionaire who owns the shipyards. I looked again and saw standing by her side an elderly gentleman who I recognizetl as C. ' . Spratley, but I could discover no likeness between the father and daughter. Once more there was a change in my dream and I saw the interior of a large, magnificent church. The great pipe organ pealed forth and the vast congrega- tion arose. The sound of their voices filled the great edifice. The music ceased, the minister stepped to the front of the pulpit and announced his text. Then I heard one of the most elociuent discourses that ever fell from the lips of a great theologian. Who could tliat distinguished minister be? There was something familiar in the sound ofh is voice and on observing him more closely I discovered that he was quite bald. Then I knew that it was Billy Wilkinson. He had become one of the most distinguished Doctors of the Presbyterian Faith. The veil which had been lifted from my eyes suddeidy fell, and I awoke to find myself still lying upon the college campus. My classmates of wliom I had been dreaming were strolling listlessly around, looking very ludike the great journalist, doctors, lawyers, judges and ministers I hail just seen in my dream. C. Iv.

( If many themes have poets sung of old W ' lieii rapl, inspired by Genius ' glowing Ine ; To songs of famous deeds of heroes bold, They ' ve tuned the strings upon their warbling lyre.

But fools as well as wise men play their part. So now I beg your gracious leave to speak Upon a theme which now my inmost heart Tells me is worthy — yet I feel how weak Must be the praise that I alone bestow, When in this humble, lowly lay of mine With patient work and toil, I labor so To get one single thought couched in a line.

Our President K a Senior now, of such uncommon name That we fear ' twill be a task for him to win that ample fame Which the t ' uture has in store for him, and that without a doubt. For the very thought of failure has, by him, been put to rt)Ut. Empowered with uljiquity, ' tis him you ' ll always greet Hither in the market place or else upon the street ; 38 You ' ll meet him in the country and in the city too And certainly in the public squares no matter what you do. He ' s one of those three graces whose nan es are on the nm, Whose presence in this country you in vain may ti to -ilum , As numerous as the grains of sand that lie upon the beach Their number you may try to count but never yet may reach ; The iiaiitcs of these three graces are -whispered x wm the town. Hut 1 will ca ll them boldly; they sira Jones and Smith and lirown. Here is our wayward member whose face has not been seen About the ColleRe campus nor around the village green Since two long years of turmoil, of tumult, and of strife When he shuffled off the student ' s coil and started in for life. To teach his little pupils— a score or more perhaps— About the Roman alphabet and all about the maps; To teach them all Arithmetic— both History and Matli. Was leading them directly in the straight and narrow path ; So narrow was this way indeed that going two by two ' Twas hard for Harris even then to tell what tlu-y would do; But time has changed this wanderer and with us once again (Looking just the same as if he ' d never had the strain Of a dozen little brats or more), he is moving (not in vain) Toward knowledge ' s ample, luring goal with all his might and mam. Harry Hunt why that ' s the name that always thrills us so Whenever uttered by the class— but why, I ' d like to know ; Perhaps ' tis on account of his most all imposing form, His temper, peaceful and serene, that never brooked a storm ; The eye that never flashes yet has its sparkle still As flitting moonlight glistens on the gentle, murmuring rill ; The tongue that never wags at all nor (better still to say) Sounds yet one word of flattery to win its pleasant way ; The ear that ' s never open to the words that would cajole. Nor closes to a part of truth, but stays to hear the whole. Such is the type of Senior, which only type we can firing forth to show the kind we call the real Senior man Hampton yields another— let us hurry on to say- Around whose striking features seems the sunliglit still to |5lay ; Of cheerful disposition he still carries in his mind The brightest hopes of future years, of joys hard to lind ; With his hand upon the present and his eye u| ou the i ast And hurrying toward the future, he will win the goal at last. What are his aspirations? ' tis a ipiestion you may ask lUit to find the one true answer will prove a harder task. - enlnre no assertions, and try to prove them too About liis future prospects-we ' ll regret it if we do ; Whether in the pulpit now, or whether at the bar (Of justice yon will understand) or in the ranks of war, Whether as a doctor, sailor or yet a man of ease S[ ratlfv in his vale of life will surely live to please. 39 Ah ! Randolph you ' re a sturdy one, of you we ' ve often heard It said, beyond the (juestion, you ' re in every sense a bird ; You ' re a sinjjer of such note we would fain call you canary Kxcept that such a name might seem, to some quite arbitrary ; We cannot call you eajjle for you are not larjje enouj h Nor have you soared beyond the clouds but what its been a bin IT; llauk nor robin, thrush nor wrun nor any of that kind CJf bird will do to style you so we ' ll leave those well behind.

Manassas is the home of the sixtli one of this clan Quite a lively town to yield us such a (piiet man.

That Davies will not care a whit if it never is forever. Our class is representative of every type of man From alpha to omega, from the rear guard to tlu- van ; We have our favorites here and there, and well do they deserve This favor from the noble class whom they do richly serve; MiCandlish is the football man, the hero of the field. Who strives land sometimes not in vain) to make the foeaian yield ; The wearer of the lengthening hair, uncut for many a day, ' Tis he you ' ll always find, I ween, the foremost in the fray. He brooks no opposition but bravely does his part And sets to work to win the game right at the very start ; A man of strength of body and even too of mind We ' ll have to searcli for many a day for another of his kind. liut here is one of whom wt- hear a great deal every day, Whose name is well on every tongue, we can truly say ; In fact we can ' t escape it now wherever we may go, And should you doubt the truth of this — well I can prove it so ; To u ' bafe ' er class you may belong — to History, Latin or Greek, ■ou ' ll hear his name repeated thrice in manner no wise meek ; We will no longer hide it for we but think it just That wc- should boldly tell it now for what u _- must, we must ; 40 Tlu-n here goes for the part, at least, that we would not conceal And the other will come after following close ii|)on its heel ; ' Tis Horace and we dare say here that none have better claim To posterity ' s meed and praise than Chalmers, hy his name. (, ' rt-(i Scoft we call the Senior, w linse the i ext one to a|)pear I hough he has been one of our n.inie not tpiite a college vear; In spite of this short time liou ' eer ' tis only just to say That he has maile his mark too well and made it in a way That would do honor to a man, his senior much in years And made it in a manner too that quite dispelled our fears For what the future had in store— we thought him full of brass When, entering in his feshman year he joined the Senior class Of Greek and Latin;— such a thing had not a precedent In the calendar of daring things done here; ' twas an event (The like of which had not been done nor ever yet been luardl I ' hat stirred ye ancient capital as she is seldom stirred. You tell us Copeuhaver, that your christian name is Meek, Well we can scarce believe it now for we ha e heard you shrieK In quite a furious manner, in quite a furious way When, on the rostrum, you, by vote, would have a piece to say; Your fellow Philoniatheans will remember but too well How in the heat of wild debate you ' d shriek and shout and yell ; How you in declamation too would reek with froth and foam. Think, like the wounds of C:esar, you would move the stones Rome, Not to a height of mutiny, nor move them to protest l?ut move them to entreat you that you would give tliem a rest. Though Moses-like you ma - appear in everv other wa ' 1 is not so, we assure you, when your iiice comes into play. Our member from the Bowery we see around once more Seeking yet another draught, a taste of .Southern lore. We thought when he did leave us a year or more before That we should ne er see him, — never, never, nei-er more l- ' or well we know when he was here a year or two ago Tile liurden of his song was (then) this famous word from I ' oe ; l!ul tinu wrought a peculiar change, though natural uiu- 1 think . nd Love came too and wrought a eliahi so slowly link by link ; So now this well-known Senior has slightly changed his song lis not now as it once was wont ; 1 fr.ir 1 do him wrong If 1 do not re eal the case; it slaiuletli as of vore. The burdin of his song has changed to ever, ever more. In the ne.xt one of this royal line is seen a being, who Is fnst among his ecjuals though he .xi : i f ari passu With some of those around him, and with little ostentation Secures an einiable place in their estimation. This uKinber is a grind — the real student of the class. Such a one in fact he is that we fear he ' ll be the last; For the fair sex though our subject has a erv tender place In that soft and gracious heart of his. — Now this upon its face Rears the semblance of a falsehood, but perhaps you ne er knew 4 ' What artful and l ewitihing things that wily sex can do ; And if they lead Dodge captive tlien we have not far to seek For expression prompt and proper — ' tis indeed Greek met Greek. And now to Se den we shall grant aniomit of time liis due And try to treat him s ently — at the same time show liim true To his colors; — thoujjh not gaudy they are solid yet and fast And while are not conspicuous, they are the ones that last ; For this demure little senior is smarter than lie looks ; His head is filled with knowledge culled from many different books ; He has little conversation, but he thinks a lot I ' m told, Finding ample consolation in the proverb writ of old: Talk is cheap and unrewarding; ' tis the silence that is gold. He is steady, earnest, sober — no reflection on his mind If we call him now a plodder, or of tliat plodding kind. While he ' s somewliat slow of movement, and that with little grace, I. ike the tortoise in the fable, he is sure to win the race. l-riim Washington ' s broad acres comes the poet of our class. The writer of our college verse and college songs — alas It is very lamentable and disastrous too, I fear. That this fav ' rite of the muses is not standing here. For Gresliain, ever jealous of his Ahna Maler ' s fame. Has endeavored in a poem to immortalize her name. Ode to William and Mary is the subject of this flight. And long as it has brevity, I think I venture right. In asserting, you ' d believe that he ' s rode the winged Pegasus And climbed the dizzy, lofty heights of rugged, steep Parnassus, If haply, without danger, on the mind you ' ll bear a load And read a printed copy of this very famous ode. Concluding Apostrophe. At last O noble class I will leave off this task For ask to me I found it, sure as fate ; I would not try another With the same amount of bother For all the money Gould has up to date. Our President has a name Not suited to the fame At all to which he rightly should aspire. While Harris with his teaching And Hunt too with his preaching Might lead us into any sort of mire. When Spratley, at his ease Shall teach us how to please And Bird to other lands, has winged his flight. There ' ll be some contemplation And some speculation Upon their chance of coming out all right ; While Davies, we may say, May make a name some day 42 Mc Cauda sb yet may win some long-soviglu s a ' ■| lK-n Chalmers too we trust (W ' r iliink it imly just) Will liiul liis iKinif upon distinction ' s roll; But wliat the mighty Scott Will find to be his lot, We dare not make attempt to guess so early. Till Cofieii iaz ' er meek Is given time to shriek Tlien iirohalih we may hit Ujion it uearh . And here is UHlkinson, He too is on the run lUit wliat he ' ll win will doubtless be a name. While Gresham ' s poem too May prove a step or two Tow ard something on the lofty stairs of fame. When Dodge with all his learning Shall, by his sweat, be earning ' riic- bread that ' s to sustain the l.ireath of liU-, Seidell will be thinking Unto himself, of linkins A woman to his side to be his wife.

D. 45 fl istorj? of tiK Junior Collcgiatf Class In October of the year eijjhteen huiulred and niiiety-eij ht, the Junior Colle- giate made its debut in the history of William and Mary College. On the morn- ing of the fifth of October of that year, there alighted from the train one of the most woe begone and forlorn looking crowd of youths that ever put in their ap- pearance in the ancient city of Williamsburg. We were, most of us, rustic and fresh from the farm. We all expected, from the description in the college cata- logue, to find Williamsburg a large and flourishing metropolis, but great was our surprise, when we found cattle peacefully grazing in its quiet streets, and the wIkjIc town wearing an air of utter languor as if it were weary after its many years of greatness and were content to rest upon its laurels. These were some of our opinions when we saw the town for the first time. We have since changed our opinion and we now think that we would rather live in Willianishmg than in any other town that we have seen. The remainder of that memorable day of our arrival we spent in strolling around the campus wondering why we had ever left home and listening to the wonderful tales that the old students told us of the Indians that used to inhabit the Brafferton and whose yel ' s could be heard even now upon dark nights short- ly after midnight, if other things were favorable. The memory of tlie first night that we spent in college will ever remain with us. Rudely awakened from luir dreams of home and mother we found around us a crowd of determined-looking higher classmen who solenuily informed us that it was our duty to furnish them with anuisement for a short time by singing songs and dancing. We did it, of course, though reluctantly enough, for no matter liow well we did thev seemed to consider it a joke and when we were through they told us that we had not come up to e.xpectations and would have to suifer the usual penalty — a portion of bed slat applied externally. When, on the next morning we met in the chapel for the first time and listen- ed to our President as he read a paper on the former greatness (jf the ancient col- lege of William and Mar -, and extolled the virtues of those eminent statesmen who had received inspiration within her walls, we felt that some day, we, too might become a Jefferson or a Madison. But three years of tenure under the eagle eye of the Mathematics Professor and the searching look of the Professor of Eng- lish ha e convinced us that what little spark of genius we ever had within us has been quenched, and we now think that we would lie satisfied if we could become as great as one of the professors. As ducks we were very modest and ke]it rather (juiet. No doubt it was due to the restraining influence of the Sophomores who always delighted to sup- press us whenever we showed any inclination to make ourselves conspicuous. 47 Hut (liirinu; our second year we began to feel onr own importance and for a time we niadi- life miserable for the new men when they arrived. Xow that we are tliird year men we consider ourselves the eciuals, if not the superiors, of anything in college. We can look back with i ri(k- n]Hin the three years that we havesjient here, and pity all ])0or lower classmen who seem to us to liave just entered upon tlieir career of hard study and disa])])ointment. Nor are our minds trouiiled, as are tlios? of the Seniors, with thoughts of what our future careers shall be, for we still have one more year ol ' college life before us and are not ready as they are to launch uul upon the stream of life and tr - our fortune in its fitful tide. We have ex ' ery reason to be i)roud of our record as a cla,ss. Tlie historian need feel no blush of shame as he chronicles the deeds of the class of 1902. Both in athletics and in the class room we have done well and have covered ourseh ' es with .glory. We ha ' e always had the enviable reputation of being, as a class, the best students in college. If you doubt for a moment that there are good stu- dents among us we would refer you to X ' est the curler and Boliannan the grind. Last season we were ably represented on the gridiron by Flournoy, Mackreth and Blake. Nor would we feel that we had done justice to ourselves if we omitted from the number of our athletes Doubting Thomas who carried off so many prizes on Field Day. Although we have achieved so many lionors in the past we shall not remain inactive in the future. Our sphere of usefulness is unlimited, and we sli:ill stri e to make our future as glorious as the past. HiSTOKI.VN. 4 ' ' 5 ofV move Class of 1903 vOf f If crs George Johnson President. E. C.

Hence this little history of the junior class of igoo-igoi, that some g ood as well as evil may live after us, and that coming generations of students may know what a potent factor we were in the doings of the student body of William and Mary. There are just forty of us in all and with the exception of two Georgia Crackers and. one West ' irginian we are all sons of the Old Dominion. Our beginning at William and Mary was very much like all other beginnings here have been since time immemorial. The only thing connected with our ar- rival worthy of note is. that the weather was comparatively fair: a very remark- able thing indeed. Of course we were most cordially welcomed by our one year seniors, the dues of the year before, Indeed they seemed to regard it as a sol- emn duty to make us see college life in all its phases, and we must admit that they succeeded admirably. Quite a number of us, on the night of our arrival, received callers in our rooms, where some very touching scenes were enacted, in which boards and buckets of water played a verj- conspicuous part. In due time however we became accustomed to our new surroundings and, as our awe of the upper class men gradually diminished, we began to a.ssert ourselves- Whitehead set the example when he declared that ' ' any man who interferes with me must take the consequences. In the lecture room, too, some of us began to give evidence of some ability and a few of the most studious souls soon reduced the art of ' ' curling to an exact science. Some of the most venturesome even had the nerve to take junior Math, last year, the natural result being that it is easier for them this session. Perhaps that was their object. Indeed one or two ver - sanguine members have hinted that they expect to pass the final examination. As we number among our members men whose talents lie in many directions each one has applied himself to the work for which he is best suited, with the re- sult that for two years we have alwavs been well represented in every branch of college life. It is in the calico line perhaps that we are weakest, at least in point of numbers, but still we are fairly represented and the few calico sports whose names appear on our roll play well their part. In the two literary- societies we have a host of members. Last year we suc- ceeded in carrying of several medals for improvement and this ye ar the names of .several of our members, including that of our worthy president, will appear on the programs of the final exercises. 52 But it is in the athletic world tlmt we are strongest. Garland, our star foot- ball man is a sjilendid tackle and Pete Carr at the end is a wonder. In fact the non-success of our class team this year was due to the fact that our football men were on the regular eleven. On the diamond, too, so long as Harr - Shawen is with us our reputation is secure. We have now been beneath these classic shades for nearly two -cars and in that time have learned much. In fact we have been learning ever since we learned that we had so much to learn. We have learned to stand on spots, made famous by associations with great men, without a thrill. In regard to lectures we have all learned to cut scientifically and to fluuk without blushing, but, alas! only a few of us have acquired the art of curling. We have learned to spend our money and to beat on our fellow students when it is gone. We have learned the locations of all the hen-roosts, and the places where a chicken may be cooked, wlien bought. And, the best for the last, we have learned to love the girls our elder brothers loved in the sweet, sweet long ago. And now this history comes to a close, but in closing we will venture the assertion that there is yet in store for William and Mary a future as bright as her glorious past, and who knows but that of the names to which future generations will point with pride a goodly number may now be found written in the roll -book to which the Second year Class responds. 53 f RE3HMAN a S Class of 1904 L.

P. 55 jTvtsijman Class fl istorp To write a histon- of the class of 04, and do it justice, is a task that woukl tax the powers of a Taine or a Macauley. Young as it is, it lias a wontlerful althouu;h checkered past, ami judging by the past it has a bright and glorious future. At any rate it has a future. The members have submitted quietly to be called dues, and in fact take a philosophical view of most matters insisted on by the Seniors and the other unimportant classes. Not because they must, but because they do not care to hurt the feelings of their iippi s, in such small mat- ters. We shall not indulge very much in glittering generalties, but will merely state a few simple facts for the edification of the public in general. In order that the public may know how much faith to place in things they hear, we will state that the veracity of the dues should never be doubted. We make this state- ment because they are so many theological students in the ' 04 class. First there is pa ' son ' aughan. He already bears the title of coadjutor of Vorktown. Allow us to add that he bears it bravely. He is not to be pitied though, but rather shed a few tears or heave a few sighs for his parishoners. If you should ever be privileged to listen to a machine with a great quantity of lungs, a huge vo- cabulary of descriptive and other adjectives, and the mental capacity for arrang- ing the aforesaid adjective.s into the longest winded sentences in any language and perpetrating them upon the unsuspecting public, you may rest assurred that you have heard our worthy president. The ne.xt name that suggests itself to us is pa ' son Sinclair, His chief diversion consists in putting jjs many syllables as he can into each word he utters, and trying to see how few he can utter in a given time without a permanent pause. From ministers we will jump to the other extreme — lecture cutters. Some one else may tell j-ou what they are. We shall not do so. Allow us to suggest that such a charge should not be brought against such innocents as the dues. They do not as a rule, cut lectures. Wait until thej- get to the Juniors, and then they may follow in the footsteps of their illustrious predecessors. Bristow is trying for the lecture cutters ' medal, but he has not thoroughly established his claim to it. On the simmering grid-iron we have a number of pig-skin chasers. The most famous among them are Hundley, Silver and Nellie Bly. The dues have played a few games, l)ut they are of very little importance and will, no doubt, be recorded as grand victories l)y the other teams. The diamond ' s comple- ment would be incomplete without Hrigham Young and Peachy Spencer. The dues are of course represented in the Gymnasium Club. Cireat things may be expected from them. As the Gym, sprang into college life the same time the ' 04 class did, they are especially proud of it. Its history is, to a cer- tain extent their history. 57 Some of our readers, especial!} ' Juniors, may be so egotistical as to think that the dues have no curlers. They therefore issue this challege: The dues against the world. We are confident that Carey will continue to hold tlie cluunpionship hell. In regard to jiointers on debates and Pennsylvania Dutch our vice president cannot be beat. He is chuck full of both. For thrill- ing poetical recitations we listen to Terrell; and to doctor Davidson we go when we wish to hear recited, in a manner grand and eloquent, the great master- pieces of the greatest orators. These two are shining stars in the Literary Socie- ties. Last of all we must not forget to mention that the dues have a fair representation in tlie Glee Club. No higher honor could be conferred on any organization, and the Glee Club slion ii feel proud. We liave heard it said that Music liath cliarms to soothe tlie savage breast. Perhaps it has, but it is a Strange fact that on certain occasions wlien the Chil) indulges in a little music, some students rush from the building and go down town. We will close this history with a little moralizing and a prophecy. As lumps of rusty looking iron ore Are plunged beneath the fiery glow ; To meet our startled gaze once more, — The dross removed; the metal all aglow. Then by revolution, And bv evolution. Is shaped for usefulness as well as show. So the dues when down they plunge, Within the seething furnace W. M. C; Storing knowledge as within a sponge. And reappear as bright as they can be. Then by resolution, And b} ' evolution, They ' ll hold their own as you will surely see. HlSTORI. N. 58 c sna Z,Hi '  1fonfv 7 3i)0fnir iLitcravp orictp Motlo — Invictus Kesurgaiii .

IS90 The Grand Order of the Loyal Kiiiglits was established at William and Mary College in the early part of the session of 1899-1900. From the beginning it has been growing in great favor among the student body as has been shown liy its steady increase in membership. The need of such an organization has been long felt and it is the direct out- growth of a popular demand for an organization to promote and protect the inherent interests of the non-fraternity students. After two years of experience, the wisdom of having such a society has begixn to be manifested. During the present session we have succeeded in establishing a chapter at our sister institu- tion of learning, the State Female Normal School at Fannville, and have very encouraging evidences that we will soon be represented in many Southern colleges. We want the fact distinctly understood: that we are not, in a college sense, a fraternity. The Loyal Knights is a most secret of secret orders but at the same time its principles are ver - democratic. It is not the purpose of this society to stir up malice or strife, but to allay it; to work in a brotherly manner for the best interest of our college, and to use our influence to bestow college honors on those deserving them. Our members are selected from the most studious and influential students in college, but it is so secret an order that it is deemed best to withhold their names from the public.

I was lan lil obedience when yonn.i;, senator, and my mind halh nol I ' orgot the lesson, answered the newcomer, whom we shall now call by his name, I ' ietro. Thou wilt find ' tis not the greatest of my irtues. Ah ! thou hast not a had opinion of thy virtues, but I fear thou wilt lind tluni ]nit to a severe test ere th ' liusiness is concluded. .answered the senator in unniistakal)le tone. No, senator, said I ' ietro bowing witli dignified grace, what test my -ir- tues n a ' not endure will i !o e no curse of mint ' , but whatever lliy own irtue of command may leach me thou It find me a not unwilling slave. I ' ietro, I fear thy tonge hath no need of curb, nor thy deed any fear of conscience. ' iMie busi- ness wliich now 1 give thee in charge, thou wilt find a not unpleasant one to thy spirit and the journey that I re([uire of thee will but open thine eyes to the be.auty of our fair Italy. Thou art ready, ]irei)areil ? I am here to do thv bidding, most reverend sir, was the laconic .-mswer of the impatient I ' ietro. ' Listen then, fool to the instrm-tions I .give thee. Dost know the way to Naples? Have often attended my brother tlu ' ve. Dost thou know the Ciiuseppini in the city? Have often heard the name from him whom I attended there, though fear I must confess I know them not. A ])romineut family of Neapolitans, no doubt. Here Pietro gave a shudder for he had often hard his brother relate strange tales of this family and had gathered from his conversation, that they were powerful and noble and many dark deeds had been attributed to their instigation. He wondered then, what business his master could have with them. Then ' tis true, Pietro, thou can ' st find the way to the city and deliver this message to the eldest of the family, Ludovico Oiuseppiui. He handed theslave a box and looking him steadily in the face said : Remember th - oath. Depart, Pietro bowed in respectful reverence, opened the door and passing th rough the main corridor stepped out into the court, tinned his face toward the South- east and set out on his journey. I ' ietro Benii, wluii he was quite young, for a suspected crime, in which he really bore no part, had been condennied to the galleys. His life before had been hardly less onerous than the one now im])osed u]H)n iiim b - condemning him to the work of a galley-slave: but the work, while terrible in itself, excited no dread in Pietro; it was the separation Irom home that he dreaded, the fact of being far away from those he loved, condennied fi)r lifb to the galleys witliout hope of ever seeing again the faces dear to him in youth. The fatlier of Pietro on one occa- sion had rescued a young child of Sproni from drowning in one of the many canals in Venice. This Sjironi afterwards became a senator and hearing of the miserable condition of tile Son of the man who had saved his idiild ' s life, agreed to tr ' and S7 effect his pardon, provided the slave Pietro, would be his vassal throu , ' h life; hv this means Sproni hoped to play the part of one grateful to his benefactor and at the same time to obtain a valuable assistant to his own interests. Such was the pain to Pietro of being- separated from his native city, he agreed to the pmiMisal and through the efforts of the senator, was jiardoned by the doge. Spi ' oni held Pietro as his slave for many years, and fuubng his life approach- ing its end, one day sunimond Pietro to his chamber and there l)y threats of thrusting the jioor wretcli back in the galley-chains made him swear to serve his brother, Doni Sproni, after he, Tomnaso Sproni, should die. Pietro was forced, ior fear of the galleys, to swear fealty to this new master, who is the senator al- ready introduced to the readers. Pietro thought of all this as he stepped on the small deck of a gondola just i)Utside the palace gate. He thought of the cruel oath which he had been forced to swear at the hands of Tomnaso Sproni; he thought of the cruel, exacting de- mands which his second master made upon him; he could not escape, death alone could relieve him of the misery in which he was now plunged. He looked out upon the glassy water, made reflective by the brilliant moon which was just ris- ing out of the Adriatic, and thought to plunge himself beneath the surface whtre he might be buried forever from the sight of his hated master. But a fierce gleam of joy overspiead his countenance. It was the thought of rezr gc which alone lends joy in misery and complaint. Pietro seized the oar and with determ ined stroke urged the small boat through the still water unrippled save by the track of his own gondola. No other Vxjat was in sight. The conversation with his master had been longer than usual and now as he was ready to ply his gondola along the canals of Venice he enjoyed a silence and stillness which was oppressive, occasioned by the late hour at which he begun his journey. The boat, under the expert stroke of the former galley- slave, sped around through the numerous canals which form a labyrinthine chain by which egress is made to the sea. Skimming the water like the wings of a bird spread before the wind, the small vessel fairly flew through the chain of water ways that connect the numerous isles upon vhich Venice is situated, and alter an hour ' s sailing sped into an arm of the Adriatic. Here our wanderer stepped out upon the shore and locking the gondola to the bank, started swiftly toward the wharf of Venice to take ship for Naples, when a light tap upon his shoulder made him start, and looking arovmd, saw a tall masked figure towering over him and this dull, dreadful voice sounded in his ears: Thou wilt appear before the Coun- cil of Ten to-morrow night upon the stroke of twelve. ' ' Pietro felt his knees sink baneath him, a palor spread over his face, his frame con -ulsed and he s.ink, tremb- ling, to the earth. The Council of Ten, as has been said, was a bodv possessing unlimited power and almost absolute sovereignty. It had for its checkmate the small, but no less powerful, body of men commonly known as the Three. This latter council pos- sessed the power of, not only annulling an action of the Ten in regard to an inhabi- 8S tant of ' eiiice on trial, but could, if they chose, increase the penalty for an}- crime when the Council of Ten left opportunity. But it seldom happened at this period in which our story is taken that the former council left anything that the Three could add in the way of penalty or punishment. This was especially true of crimes against the government, rebellion or conspiracy. And, too, during the latter part of the fourteenth century, not a few dissatisfied and rebellious subjects had taken refuge in Naples after the expulsion of Faliero and Tiepolo. These same people had watched with much interest the progress of affairs after the insti- tution of this oligarchical government and concealed a hope that this attempt at absolutism would soon fail and fall. Xow since the established council held full sway there were as many who wished to restore Venice to its former government without this dreaded council as there had been those who attempted t o overthrow the form of government whicli existed before the addition of the Ten and Three. It was Pietro ' s mission (though he knew it not) to journey to Naples and put into the hands of Giuseppini the facts relating to the exercise of the power of the Council and to the turn that affairs had taken in Venice since the institution of this body. Until his appearance before the ten masked figures that sat before him in the grim and silent chamber, Pietro had had no intimation of the reason why he had been so suddenly summoned before the Council, but it was well known to him that man}- who appeared before this terrible tribunal never conceived for what reason they were summoned initil the - were informed by the secretary in their presence. Such had been Pietro ' s feeling. Almost despairing and racking his brain for some clue to a reason why he had been summoned, the poor slave was without hope, knowing that the most terrible charges were often revealed only in this chamber. Thou art Pietro Bemi, the slave of Senator Sproni? demanded the secre- tary in grave and solemn tone. Pietro bowed in response. Hast thou heard aught of the charges preferred against thee? I have been summoned, nothing more ! Listen then, slave, to these charges. Weigh their truth and be ready to answer whether thou art guilty of the deeds named therein . ' ' At this juncture the secretary read a long paper before our hero, every word of which seemed to pierce his very soul. The charges were terrible. He was accused of instigating the Neapolitans to reliellion and of conspiring against the government of ' enice and of planning to assassinate the Council of Ten. While these words were being read the face of Pietro assumed a li id and severe expres- sion. He had gradually, under the pressure of such enormous charges, thrown off the fear and uneasiness which he at first felt when he came into the Ten ' s presence. But he now stood defiant. With teeth clinched, hands closed so tightly the nails nearly pierced through the flesh, eyes blazing a furious light, he was hardly able to restrain himself until the secretary finished the document. He was trend)ling in everv limb Ironi indignation. He raised liiinsrH upon Ills toes 8y and was in the act of bounding forward to seize tlie papers from the secretary ' s hands when a liand hiid iironiptly on his slioukler by Nicoli l)ade him desist. Finally the reader finished and looking Pietni full in the face inquired: What hast thou to say, slave? Art guilty or no? Dost thou wound my ears with such a (piestion, thou infamous scoundrel — The sentence was never finished. With a bound the secretary landed upon Pietro and seizing him iinexpectedly almost forced the slave to the floor. lint the lithe form of the agile gondolier was not slow to recover. Seizing his oppon- ent by his hair and at the same time raising him in the air above his head, he flung him with powerful force upon the floor. But the secretary was active. He jumped from the floor with the quickness of lightning and darting between the legs of Pietro struck him below the knees, throwing the slave full over the secre- tary ' s back with his face to the floor. By this time the other senators had sprung from their seats and were rushing to separate the two combatants : at the same time Nicoli darted through the single door of the room out into the main corridor of the palace. The two men on the floor were not so easilj separated. Pietro, after having been surpri.sed b - tlie quickness of his foe was for an instant undecided, but only for an instant; he seized the secretary by the foot and gave him a powerful jerk which brought the latter ' s head just under his arm. Pietro seized him around the neck compressing it with all of his might. This would have ended the combat for an ordinary man but Pietro had a foeman worthy of his steel ; the secretary was not so easily con- quered. Realizing the danger of his position and being free to use his arms, he Struck the slave such a tremendous blow in the pit of the stomach as to force him to release his hold. In the next instant the members of the council had seized the almost exhausted combatants and forced them into their seats. When the secretary first sprung upon our hero, Nicoli had perceived upon his outstretched right arm, just below the elbow, a small red spot in the form of a cross. The guard did not hesitate ; springing to the door he darted out and hurrying along the main corridor soon reached a small door in which he inserted a key with haste, fliuig open the panel and passed in. He was not long in search. Glancing his eyes hurriedly along a low shelf to the right of this sombre closet, he hastily seized a metallic box, and hiding it under his cloak, retraced his steps to the room of the Council arrriving just as the combatants, Pietro and the secre- tary, were forced into their seats. He was not interrogated upon his al)rupt departure and return. The mem- bers were too amazed at the scene, outrageous to the dignity of the tribunal, to notice the guard when he entered the door. The slave and secretarj ' were e3 ' eing each other with expressions livid with rage and neither perceived or thought of Nicoli at that moment. 90 When the chief senator had sufficiently recovered irom his surprise, he rose and, speaking in stentorian tone, said : Slave of Doni Sproni, stand before the Ten and answer thou the charge that thou hast heard. At this coniniand Pietro rose from his seat and facing his interlocutor in an attitude of defiance answered in a clear voice : These charges are false. Wilt thou answer the ([uestions that are asked thee? I will. Why did ' st thou attempt to leave ' enice without permission from the Ten ? I was sent by my master, replied the slave. Had ' st thou no other authority ? was the (luestion. A slave needs no other, was the laconic reply. Whither wert thou bound i At this question a slight pallor overspread the foce of our hero. Though he knew not the secret that the box contained which he had been instructed to con- vey to Giuseppini at Naples, he knew full well, the character of this noti.rious family and he hesitated to answer this question directly. To the south of Italy, was Pietro ' s evasive reply. To what place? To Naples, Senator. ' ' Dost know to vhom thou wert sent ? ' ' Pietro saw no escape. To tell the truth, if he tuld anything had been his first resolution, so he responded with more emphasis that was necessary: ' ' Ludovico Giuseppini . The chief senator started, thougli the surprise was not noticed by Pietro. ' ' What was thy message ? , ' I know not replied the slave with some degree of haste. At this junctnre, Nicoli ro. e from his seat by the secretary, approached the latter ' s table and took up the metallic box which lay there. He touched Pietro upon the shoulder, at the same time pointing to a seat at some distance from the secretary ' s table. List then, senator, to me, spoke the guard, at the same time bowing with submissive humbleness to the authority of this chief of the Ten. • What woulds ' t thou say Nicoli? Speak. Chief senator and Council of Ten, the Neapolitans are awake. Rebellion and conspiracy ripen in the bosom of Naples. The signs which make them known after their deeds are committed are evident to me before they are begun. The Venetians who have taken refuge in that city are flocking to the standing of Giu- seppini. They have confederates within our walls. The sign of if cross of I ' Unnl is signalled from Naples to Venice and returned. Already their sh.nits are heard within our palaces and at our shrines, and the wail of mothers with their babes makes horrible a scene of blood trammelled with the sword and fire. This slave poiiitiiit; to I ' ielro, hears no part in this conspiracy. The secretarj ' trembles to hear my words and snatching the mask from one of the senators, this man ([uakes with terror. During the recital the secretary ' s face assumed a deadly pallor and his eyes shot forth a lurid light, while he almost crouched in the corner hv the table. The senators, seated around the table, had all risen when the guard tore the mask from the indignant member. Nicoli did not stop after he wrench- ed the disguis from the man ' s face, but seizing him (juickly by his right arm, ipiickly slipped his sleeve beyond the elbow, exposing a small red r w.f just under the upper fore arm. At almost the same time the guard seized the metallic box and springing the clasp with his thumb, drew forth from the upper corner a cross- shaped piece of metal. He held it up before the eyes of the council and exclaim- ed: Thou seest now, senator, the guilty one. And that craven cowering in the corner, pointing to the secretary, is not the less guilty. These last words of Xicoli had hardly escaped him when the unmasked sena- tor, springing from his seat, with a desperate plunge sprung toward the door and, before the guard could prevent him, left the chamber behind him as he ran through the corridor toward the main e. it from the palace. Though Nicoli had been taken off his guard, he was now in full pursuit and the senator and guard went blunder- ing through the palace. Reaching the main entrance the fugitive senator bound- ed out with the agility of a cat and turning to the right, hurried along V)y the right wing of the palace. Xicoli, in his pursuit, had taken no account of the passageway leading through the right wing of the palace and hurrying along in the dark had taken what he thought to be the corridor leading to the main exit, for he well knew the senator would head for this nearest point of escape. Famil- iar as Xicoli was witli the palace, he soon found himself ignorant of the direction he had taken. But he did not falter. Hastening with all possible speed he soon found egress at the eastern door, just as the member of the council was turning the angle of the wing. Xeither saw the other, and Xicoli, bounding from the doorway, jumped almost directly into the arms of the senator. Such was the violence of the shock that both were thrown upon the ground and the head of Xicoli struck with such terrific force that the guard was for an instant stunned. On the other hand the senator had only been thrown upon liis side and catching himself upon his elbow, sprung almost instantly to his feet. Startled and almost terrified, the man started the second time in flight, but he had gone but a few paces when he stumbled upon the body of Xicoli. He stopped. Snatching a dagger from his girdle he lient over the prostrate form of the guard and lifted the blade to strike. But he hesitated. The delay saved Xicoli ' s life. In another in- stant the wrist of the would-be assassin was seized and a powerful wrench brought the wretch to his knees, at the same time Xicoli sprung upon his feet. Rendered desperate by his position, the senator, with superhuman effort, tore himself from the grasp of the guard and, raising his dagger, threw his whole weight upon the breast of Nicoli, at the same time the dagger passed through the arm of the guard, inflicting a severe and painful flesh wound. By this time Xicoli had divined the 92 intentiou of his foe to murder him at all hazards and maddened himself by his wound, drew his own dagger. Now b3gan a battle to the death. Blade smote on blade and rasped from handle to point. Three times in a clinch Nicoli was forced upon liis knees and as many times rose upon his feet. His foe plunged despsrately, but the skillful blade of Nicoli each time warded the blow. Now the senator made a feint. Springing back from the guard, he allow his luuul to drop by his side, and stood panting with exhaustion. Nicoli was taken off his guard. He allowed his own weapon to drop by his side and on the instant the body of his foe came leaping through the air, landing full upon his own breast, The violence of the blow sent Nicoli to the eart h and the senator, unable to check his leap went rolling over beyond the guard, but, at the same time, they both clinched. Now began an inglorious duel to the death. The blood of the com- batants flowed freely. The arms of Nicoli were gashed in many places while the senator was almost weltering in the blood flowing from his thighs. Hut Providence ended this ghastly scene. The daggers of the combatants, raised at the same time struck with powerful force between the two and the steels shivered in pieces. Roth plunged forward and Nicoli, securing the first grip- forced the senator on his back. Footsteps were now heard and the secretary, (who had escaped from the council chamber by sweeping the light from the table and leaping through the door, : hurrying along in the darkness, stumbled upon the bodies of the combatants. Nicoli though exhausted l)y loss of blood rose to his feet and grappled with the new-comer. The latter easily breaking from his hold sjieed along fast and was soon beyond the reach of the ears of the guard. The ne.xt morning ' enice was startled by the news of tlie discovery ot the body of Senator Doni Sproni lying just outside the palace, in a pool of blood. The cross was found upon his arm and the metallic box, the dread sign of the conspirators, lay by his side. After the news reached the conspirators at Naples, that their sign had been discovered, Ludivico Giusejipini fled to Florence and was there captured by the authorities and sent to ' enice where he was subsequently executed. The secre- tary was never again se:n. Pietro was carried before the Council of Three after being ac(iuited by the Ten and the action of the larger body was sustained by the former and Pietro. who had gone into the Council a slave came out a freeman. Nicoli continued the worthy guard and keeper of the seal of the famous Council until death, the great leveller, laid him low. 93 Jamrstoluu 1000 I Dclivi ' ied by Di. I.. H.

Ages come and go, still pouring dewy incense sweet On this halUjwed shrine, the cradle of a nation ' s birth. Ages sweep above thy head and pause on pinions fleet, — Pause to chant thy memories brightening over all the earth. And still thou flowest, stream broad-bosomed, as in days of yore, Descending from the mountains cloud-capped, where they rend the sky. Thou ocean — destined bride, where billows thunder evermore, Thee now we greet. Thy shore-caressing waters make reply. Thou art, () ri er-god, too passionate in thine embrace, Let not this isle thy love devour with kisses rich and rare. Back to the watery realm thy proud ambitious steps retrace, And with thy own domain content this town, heaven-guarded spare. And art thou come, sweet-breathing May, thou violet-crowning maid, By rosy-bosomed hours attended? Thee with joy we hail. All earth has decked herself in flower-iutwisted robes inlaid. This is, O earth ! thy bridal hour, the clouds thy beauteous veil. And such thou wert, all-fragrant May, — as lovely and as fair In the years gone by and vanished, e ' en as now: for thou didst smile. When bounding o ' er the billows, compassed by the yielding air. Three ships their anchors laid, victorious gazed upon this isle. For Albion ' s adventurous sons erst treading on this land Thyself as bride with incense-breathing love thou didst adorn. This hallowed soil with flower-inwoven carpet from thy hand Thou riclily spreadest, sweetest May with eyelids like the morn. Thy forests thou didst hang with graceful tracery unexcelled By man ' s device ; the trees in tesselated arches stood ; Sweet fragrance from thy finger-tips did flow unparalleled ; All nature rang with tuneful voice in joy-inspiring mood. Within cathedral builded high by nature ' s deftsome hand; Beneath the sheen of God ' s own sun outrivalling the lights That glitter in the night with thousand eyes on yonder strand ; Upon the velvet verdue, o ' er which May-tide pours delights: 94 In God ' s own temple grander than the grandest domes that crown Cathedrals rare, whereon the mind of man has lavished skill, Surpassing common fancy, fdling earth with vast renown, There came the brave, the true to worshi]) God and do His will. On this green sod they knelt scarce landed and to Him above Their voices lift in accents reverential, breathing praise. The name supreme of Jesus, nmsic laden with his love. Unlock the heart of God, as they to Him their joyful anthems raise. They builded better than they knew : they builded unto God, And building unto Him, the} ' builded for the eternal years. The State they founded cannot sink beneath the treacherous sod. Founded in righteousness it must svrvive all doubts and fears. So in the spring-tide and and in the Maj ' -tide and in love-tide sweet We meet in loving hearts and hands and love of fatherland ; Upborne on memory ' s flood-tide, lo ! we hail with praises meet The founders of our State, men born to rule and to command. O keen prophetic eye ! look back in vision eastward bent, The sun comes forth, earth ' s bridegroom, l)orne on pinions of the morn.

I have just finished reading a novel by Showells who is considered a good writer. I regard it as the merest bosli. Were I idle enough to turn my attention to novel writing, he fain would stop. Human tastes are now dj-praved ; the world is out of joint. My views may- seem pessimistic, l)ut circumstances bear me out. No, I rarely see Miss Bangs now. She is entirely too frivolous and shallow- brained for me. As I grow older I become less and less susceptible to the charms of women. I fancy about one woman out of every two liundred and fifty tliat I meet; this is an extravagant proportion. Last month I met a young lady who had graduated at Vassar and studied abroad seven years ; she interested me for five minutes, though I was slightly bored at tlie end of the fourth minute. We discussed Heredity in Red Ants, but she knew very little about the subject. I have yet to find one who can discourse successfully on the The Cli;ek of the Gauls; they all get it mixed up with Sampson and the Philistines, the High- wayman ' s Mule, etc. I am rooming with Norwalk of Kansas.

A gentle rustle of the leaves Upon the distant trees, Carried my thoughts, far, far away Upon the midnight breeze. Methought I stood in the hidden past, And to my side erelong There came a maiden, singing. Singing a joyful song. She sang of the deeds of valor. Of great and mighty men ; Who fought for right and freedom. With voice, and sword, and pen. She sang of noble women. In the days of Liberty ' s birth ; Who rocked the cradle of the nation. And defied the tyrants of earth. She sang of the past and its glories ; Then her song became a moan. She chanted a dirge, with a sad, sweet smile. And left me standing alone. I start. The scene has vanished; Father Time is rushing by. Before me the deserted chimney Stands pointing to the sky. V. 98 J at runt on Bast Ball I liave a friend who says that people may talk to him about nectar until thev are black in the face, but he knows that if the fabled gods possessed a favorite drink, it was whipped cream and soda. And in furtherance of this idea I should say that if they ever amused themselves with games the leading one was base ball. Of course it may seem rather incongruous to imagine the revered Zeus in the box, throwing Grecian bends (or curves) and Mount Olympus lined with enthusiastic spectators ; as likewise it may also seem strange to conceive Mars Hill the scene of glory with Vulcan umpiring the game and Mercury sprinting to second, and the benches packed with Roman rooters ; but if they played, we must imagine just such situations. It is the finest game in existence. When I was a boy I would walk five miles to see a good game. Xow I am a man, and the only difference is that I would walk ten at the present day. I have made a study of the game, and realh ' believe that I know about all there is to be learned. I know the tricks and signs of all the pitchers and catchers : I know just how hard each man in the National League can hit: I have learued to walk as if I was an habitue of the grandstand; and to cap the climax, I have reached that acme of glory — I can figure out per- centages in my head — I have heard that you do not know the game until you can do that. I read in some mustj ' volume a long while ago that a man might know mirsic from Alpha to Omega and not be able to play a tune decently. I did not believe this, and argued the point with friends. But I am now convinced that such is the case, for I have tried it, not with music, but with base ball. People had heard me shout at the base ball games, make fun of the errors, applaud the good plays, talk base ball on the corners, discuss the league records, feel the weight of bats and so on, until they began to think (as I did about the music) that I ought to be a player. I was weighed in the balance, and just as Belshazzar was, I was found wanting. It was this way. Our club was crippled for want of a short-stop : and as it was on the eve of a great game the management was very much worried. Thej ' looked about anxioush ' for a player but could find no one who would volunteer. At last it was suggested that Prune would probably play. I did not know how well I could pla}-, but my vanity was tickled and I consented. At three-thirty promptly, we gladiators appeared in the arena. I glanced at the grandstand and bleachers and estimated the crowd at eighty-two thousand though statistics record that there were seven hundred and si.xty-three. The crowd was very noisy, this cheered me on. I managed to stop three balls in the preliminary practice, though I shall always believe it was accidentally done. The game was begun with a flourish. During the first two innings I did not get a 99 chance ov a turn at the hat : the game was being played rapidly : good, if this continues, thouglit I, the peo])le will not know whether I can play or not. Hut in the third I was the first man at bat. I selected a heavy stick and marched l)r()udl - on my base ball leg. While waiting for the pitcher to get ready, I thumped my bat several times on the plate. I had seen great players do this. The first Inill come straight at me : I dodged in three directions, but the ball went harmlessly o cr the plate, and one strike was called. The next one came straight towards the plate; I made a terrific lunge at it. but my bat was three feet too short — two strikes. This decision was accompanied by a voice from the bleachers: Eat him up, old out curve — he can ' l touch you. Wait for four balls, Prune, shouted another. This I determined to do. but fate was against me, the ball came straight at the plate — I looked condescendingly at the pitcher as if to say — Not this time old chaii. Would you believe it, that p:ill whizzed straight over the plate. I was out. Then from the boards came the cries: What was the cause of it? Plug up that hole in your hat. Wait until he warms up. I was down in the mouth. We made a nni that inning, and it cheered nie up. A few more innings passed uneventfully. In the fourth I knocked a foul over the fence; and in the fifth I juggled very prettily with a grouiuler and let two men go in c)n a wild throw over the grandstand. In the sixth I had a chance at the bases. The pitcher had a bad ankle and I ran for him. I came near taking root at first, ran a man off at second, tore my knickerbockers in running to third, and was pttt out at home. In the seventh they had a squabble in which I distin- guished myself by talking more than any three on the field ; for this 1 was fined three dollars. In the eight I struck madly at a ball which caught me in the small of the back; I was not given my base for this; but I was revenged for at the next strike I slung my bat and disabled the catcher for the entire season. It was in our outside half of this inning a fly was knocked which ascended to the alarming height of about four hundred miles I should say. There was a scramble for it, but the captain cried — Prune, Prune. I braced myself so as to meet it — nearer and nearer it came — Heavens, this was worse than Gettysburg — I had two chills and a spasm while it was descending, but I stayed there — it came — I stopped it with one hand, it was a glance shot, and the third baseman fielded the ball — Here is the finger if you wish to inspect it — it is broken in fotir places and I have not used it since, except to fill up a cavity in my gloves. In the first half of the last I made a sweeping three-bagger with two men on bases, put our side one ahead, and grew three inches by the operation. This, in a measure, redeemed me, and I walked out in the last half with a swagger. We were determined to shut them out and win the game. They were struck out in one, two order ; then unfortunately, three men filled the bases — a poor batsman stepped to the plate — we had him sure. Our pitcher threw him a slow outcurve, and he knocked a grounder that could not have gone a mile in three years. It came at me in a slow I GO trot. This was fun. It was to be my pleasure to finish the game. I reached out to stop it ; it evaded me and ran uji my arm, it pirouetted around the back of my neck and dropped behind me — I was looking everywhere for it — one man had gone in — after a long time I found it and threw it home; it went, too, l)Ut over the catcher ' s head and got lost in the crowd — the three others trotted in slowly. Thi gams was finished — I had finished it: but had thrown tlie weight on the wrong side. The papers were uncharitable that week in their criticism, bnl I really don ' t think that I can play ball.

Well, College has opened once more, and the dear boys are flocking back. They are a tacky lot this year. Dick Price brought one of them around last night, — a poor fellow who did not know what to do with his hands, and who talked incessantly about breaking colts. I reckon Dick is rushing him for his fraternity ; well, if thsy take that in I shall not wear their pin this year. Bob Walker ought to be here : oh ! there never was a boy like Bob Walker — the darling. I had a long letter from him yesterday, and I just cried myself sick over it. I shall never care for any boy as I did for Bob. TliHisdav, Xoiriiibtr 12II1, S — I am just back from the foot-ball game. The boys covered themselves with glory: and that handsome Weidncr, with the long black hair, who will not come down at all and who hates girls, so they say, did all the playing; I am just dead in love with him. He looked so fine in his dirty foot-ball suit. I love foot-ball ; I think it is simply grand ; I could watch them play all day ; I do love to see the h andsome fellows with their hair all in their eyes, and their faces scratched up tangle themselves in a knot and then get out again. I don ' t understand the game at all ; it seems tome that one side must run with the ball and the others must pound and gouge and stamp and scratch and swear. Dick tried to explain to me, but 1 can ' t see through it ; but it is just grand. Saturday, November 23th, iS — . The luilalain Society gave its first open meeting to-night. I attended with the cutest little chap in College, Bennie Wade from Washington. He is a saucy imp, but one can ' t help loving him at times. I had a letter from Bob Walker about two weeks ago, and for the life of me, I can ' t find time to answer it. It is wicked for me to treat him so. I shall write to him on Wednesday. To-morrow afternoon I stroll with Beckham Hitchins : I really don ' t like him, but this is simply to make Sue Badgerly jealous : shey « raves over him. 103 IVedncsdav, December 2 d, i8 — . The boys leavt- tc -nionow for the- liulidays. Twenty-seven came around to bid me good bye : but Hal Baker set them all out, and told me his troubles all alone. He is a dear boy. I might love him, but he lets me do as I please. Monday, March 2jd, i8 — . Two Germans last week, and wasn ' t it jolly. I went to the first on Tuesday niglit with Hennie Wade: he dances like a dream ; and on I ' riday night Sparks took me. Xed Sparks is a tiptop fellow, and every girl in town likes him. It is the strangest thing, too, for he is the niu.-t inde- pendent rascal that ever came to town, and don ' t you know, he won ' t make love to a single one of us. I have led him on, but he apparently takes no notice of it. Jack Barber told me, though, that he had a girl at home, and I guess it must be so. He reminds me of Bob Walker. I ' oor Bob: I hear he is teaching in Texas. I have ne -er answered his last letter, too bad. I danced on Friday night with Babbit, and Wilkins and Bruce and Harrison and Perkins and Stripes and Goodloe and Antrip and Haivey, and oh, I met that handsome fellow that the Pi Kta ' s have just taken in, Bumble, from West ' irginia. He ' s a darling; lie will call on Tuesday. He has only been in College two weeks. April j lli, iS — . Arbutus is about gone. This is such fun. Xow is the time for strolls down Lover ' s Lane. I have an engagement for every afternoon next week, and three the week after. Ben W ' ade is getting very spooney. I shall have to teach him to behave. May 20II1, iS — . Bennie and I have had a fuss. I know I am the most mis- erable creature alive. It was all about an engagement that I had with Will Pope. I don ' t care a rap for Will Pope, and I told Bennie so, but he saj-s he will never come back any more. Jiiuc isf, V — . I went around to Mrs. Blank ' s to tea Sunday afternoon, and Bennie was there. He walked home with me. Everything is all right again. I told him I was wrong, and he forgave me, the dear boy ; it was just like him, I knew he would do that. It will soon be time for him to go home, and how can I bear to tell him good-bye; well, probably I won ' t, — who knows? Jinie i lh, iS — . Bennie was around to-day. He is around every day. He will be here to-night. He is here every night. I cannot live without him. He is so handsome and so noble and so mischievous. His eyes have been bad tliis year: poor boy, he could scarcely study at all. June JO, 18 — . It is all o er. They have all gone. Bennie left yesterday. Poor Bennie; poor me. What shall I do? Wh - was I ever born? The world is such a miserable place. But I shall hear from Bennie tomorrow. Dear, dear Bennie. 104 June ji . A letter from Beniiie: wrote to Bennie. July . A letter from Bennie.

' Twas Christmas, you know. Two years ago. Some socks he spied in a store ; Just the kind That to his mind, His father would adore. With jovial air He bought ten jiair. And packed them in a box : Then sat and wrote A little note : Dear Father, — Accept these socks. With easy grace. And smile on face. He bought a lovely rose, For his own May, Who needs must stay Amid the mountain snows. To keep from freezing, And needless squeezing, He packed the rose in hay : Told a friend, These boxes send, And wrote these words to May : — Dearest dove. My own love, For my sake this token wear. ' Twill look so neat. And you so sweet ; Oh, how i long to be there! A letter came ; Noi from the dame. The young man ' s blood just froze.

Two pueri who chanced to see Tliose little argentum hearts, Wondered what their meaning could be. So tell to discussing their parts. Said one boy, Tis very plain, With plenty of plus sanguinity, ' ' The reason those two hearts remain Is ])lus atomic affinity. You are wrong, the other replied, It looks quite different to me, For one dear heart must be inside, And two plus one equals three. New developments came to light. The maid put her hand to her brow; Two engagement rings, sparkling and bright. Must be considered now If two rings, suggest one bo}-, Two Ag. hearts will equal; I wish each suitor every joy, — But say ! There ' ll be a sequel. This thought occurs, the other said, ' ' Those suitors are away ; They have her heart, she has theirs instead, So rings equal hearts as you say. Those two swains by chance might meet. It would be a grand surprise. One would be minus jniella sweet. Is the sequel we surmise. Girls are very strange creatures, ' tis true. We will say then, just for fun. That this lovely girl might be minus two. Vet minus two plus one is minus one. Then if she ' s minus two it appears That the maid has lost every beau. Shed not those sympathizing tears. For the name of lier lover is legio. — Vass.vk dk ' kkk 9, rncQ of ilfttcvQ from College iHcn Z ]c ilootrr Deak Jim : I am just hack from Kichiiioiul, to which phice I accoiiipanifil our base hall Icaiii as Rooter-ill-chief. We are the stuff. It was all our way. I- ' roiii the time when Babbie twirled the first one over the plate I had the grand-stand rattled. I drove seventeen gigglinji; girls out of the stand, and had three fights with bald- headed men while there. In the eight inning just after Teetunis lifted that hot one over the right field fence I turned my megaphone against the home guys and blew their veils into chowder. I came very near being mobbed, however, when I jabl)ed my umbrella into the ribs of a fat man with the rheumatism, hut this was purely an accident. Two weeks ago we had the team down here from Tom and Jerry College, and thev can ' t play ball a wee bit. We beat them 62 to o, and sent them home on a shutter. My superior rooting brought in 49 runs. Hawkins and I were up a tree just over first base, and we had the mascot with us, the striped pig , which, by the way, is a trained rooter, and he can even root up a tree, w hich by the way, is far from up-rooting a tree, which being interpreted, meaiieth something else entirely. Our war cry was: Bans them, hang iheni, string them up, Spill them, kill them, take the cup. Chew them, stew them, boil them down. Chase them, race them, out of town. ( With apologies to Mr. Dooley. ) I got that up. Its style is rough, but the fellows say it is a smooth yell. On Wednesday ne. t the ball tossers from Punge will arrive here, and the Athletic Association has offered a prize to the most diligent rooter on the gi-ounds. This prize will be a large bo.K of Frog in Your Throat, which I shall strive most earnestly for. Several of the old gentlemen in town have very kindly consented to array themselves in Nile Green bloomers and root from the hotel roof. This was recommended by the Faculty at its last meeting. It is scarcelv necessary to state that at this same Faculty meeting I was informed that I might remain at Iiome iie.xt year, or go anywhere, — else, I pleased. For the next game I have secured a squedunk, a bazee, a five foot megaphone, a stripped umbrella and checked trousers. We shall undoubtedly win out. I asked Miss Fluffy Bangs to go with me to the next game, but she says the noise that I make shatters her nerves : that she did not rest well after the last game we attended together.

Unto the year of liberty He kept the gift his master gave Who wore the shackles of the slave ; But when death ' s hand had set liim free, He lost it in the grave. II. No child of his might hope to reap The harvest where his hand had sown : No vassal, where the high sun shone On earth, his father ' s field might keep I ' nhindered as his own. III.

And in that dawn of liberty They saw how good the gift (lod gave, — The brave gift given to the brave. — The free gift given for the free, — His gift, that true men crave. X. They took the gift in scorn of those Who bowed the head and crooked the knee, Who, blind and sordid, would not see, — And held against embattled foes The guerdon of the free. XI. They toiled and wrought in faith and hope. And reared and builded, large and strong, A Temple, where the opprest might throng, A house, from corner-stone to cope Buttressed against the wrong. 114 XII. And dwelling ' neath serener skies They lived with truth and Peace and Right ; While fled from that ethereal light The withering wrongs and dastard lies That battened on the night. XIII. Love, fraught with knowledge, handed down The hallowed boon from sire to son. — Who saw their handiwork well done And slept, foresaw the centuries crown The work their hands begun. XIV. The freedom of the unshackled man Inspired the order of the state : Peace, smiling, sat within the gate : And where Love ' s perfect purpose ran, Hope held uo fear of Fate. XV. And then dark winds arose, and drave Dun clouds across a sullen sky. The Temple ' s veil was rent. A cry Above the tumult rang : We save The gift of God, or die ! XVI. And hearkening, as their sires of old Who heard that earlier trumpet call. They answered from the outer wall : We pledge our richer thi :gs than gold, — Our lives, our loves, our all ! XVII. Their heads are grizzled now, who drew The mother ' s milk that day, when War Rose on the horizon like a star To kindly hope ; — when Freedom grew So near that was so far. 115 XVIII.

He came with letters from old friends of mine. They said he was diligent, con- scientious and earnest in his work. I do not find him so. He must be drinking, or else, he is in love with Miss Fluffy Bangs. That Fluffy, — if I liad my way I would transport her to Cebu. She is responsible for the loss of eight Bachelors of Arts in as many years. Some day she will be called upon to answer for them, and she will not have an)-thing to show in return save some old Ilu ler I )Oxes and a few coupons calling for seats just back of the orchestra. Too bad. Bates will not study. He means well, but there is something lacking. I shall write to his father and tell him that he had better take Bates home and stand him behind a plow, and give the command, Forward March. II (Extract from the Uiarj ' of Professor Triangle).

He ought to lead the class by all means. How he sticks to his books and comes up when called on to recite. He has bright eyes, a clear head, and more ambition than Napoleon. He demonstrated the Umpty-second problem of Euclid to-day in a manner that would have done credit to Euclid himself. You just cannot trip him. I am told that he is getting along nicely in his other classes. I like to assist such a boy. One feels that his work is not in vain. What a contrast between Jones and Bates. I am ery sure that no girl down town has as et succeeded in turning Jones ' head. I believe they have an organization down there known as the Headtwisters. Deliver Jones from tlie twisters.

Last night I was downtown until half past eleven, or words to that effect, and on my return, picked up my old Geometry and worked up two problems, trusting to luck to get sent to the board on one of them I did the very thing, and curled all over the room. Old Triangle smiled upon nie. I have got him going. I believe that I could blufif him into giving me the first Math. Medal, if it was not for the exam- inations. But the end will come; I don ' t even intend to tr - them. I couldn ' t make two per cent. I haven ' t missed a night down town for fourteen nights, and I am booked for about fourteen more. My last report will sustain m,- until the middle of April. I am getting to be a great authority on Chemistry. I have no idea where my Chemistry is; but I never fail. There ' s old Bates, my room mate; he bones all day and all night ; and gets rammed for slackness twenty times a week. Bates is a good fellow, but he isn ' t lucky. Bates reads my French to me and writes my Latin Exercises. He ' ll be President some day, if he doesn ' t let some other fellow take it away from him. I must write a note to Fluffy. Let us eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die. Nat Pki-ne. 120 91 1 ' ision A vision of the purest beauty sweet, With liquid depths of tendrest love-lit eyes, A vision where all charms of nature meet , A face wherein the flower of beauty lies. Comes ever now to haunt my nightly dream. And dull my eye for all things else at day ; To ruffle now my life ' s once quiet stream, And plashing o ' er its deeps to glide away. A maiden slender as the blooming rose. As fair and graceful as the lily white. With hair which every wanton zephyr blows. And kisses with his unseen lips of light. Is tliis fair vision of my mazed heart. An angel wand ' ring ' mong the paths of men. And like a thing of beauty set apart To guide the tracings of some worthy pen. The zephyrs sport among her locks the wliiles. The scented rain-drops kiss her blooming cheeks. While I apart can only watch the smiles And dimples, which each airy lover seeks. Oh would that I a lightsome bird might be That I could carol on her casement sill. Or watch her sleep in nature ' s purity To music from the nearby, gurgling rill. WiLM.AR. (A.RAV.M.) ilf£islit ftall Muses help me here a little while I pen this siiii])le rhyme, Help me here (ami if you want) you may write ' most every line. ' Tis the place ami all around it; as of old, the hutlerrup. Rears its head in golden silence to the sunlight Kxiking up ; Buttercups, that iVom a distance, clothed in their golden hue Seem to cover, quite, the campus and tiie green and courtyard too; Many a night from onder Kwell, ere I closed my eyes in sleep Did I think it well and proper I should long my vigil keep; Many a night I ha e heard the fellows, stealing from their heds and slow Start along the gloom - hallway to the pantry down below; Then about the hall they wandered groping, in the dark, their way With a dim lit tallow candle just to light them with its ray : Many a morning in the chapel did I hear the plaintive wail And my blood was chilled with horrow as I heard the woeful tale. Many a evening at tliis meeting when the iv.s7- men sat and smiled, Did I stand before them trembling, feeling like a year old child. Then mv cheek was flushed and redder than should be for one so small And I cast quick, furtive glances from the ceiling to the wall ; And they said, and that with sternness, speak and speak the truth to us; Tell us if last night at midnight, you, the pantry door did bust. On my pallid check and forehead came a color and a frown And a mental surmise ran thus: I must soon leave this old town. And I said My dear professors, my professors, mine no more, O the fatal, fatal reckoning! O the pantry, pantry door. Then I dipped into a bottle, wrote as fast as I could write. Wrote a letter to my parents, sent it home that very night. Then another and a longer, by return mail came to me. Came with such unusual promptness, that I knew its word to me. But by pleading and persuasion I had managed at the last To induce the great Sanhedrim, to, at ifASX, forgive the past; Then upon mature reflection, sense once more returned to me And I looked on what had happened with a sad and tearful e ' . Looked upon the etpiilaterals that, in rain, I used to draw On the board, while in the Math class where professor ' s word was law; 122 Heard the shouting of the rabl)le introductory class: too well Knew this for a certain signal that I soon would hear the bell, Which would call me to a lecture and that lecture too was Greek, When the timid would not -whisper, nor the boldest dared to speak. Far away could hear the snoring of the class m Natural Science When a yawn of wide extension met each unexplained appliance ; Just across the dusty hallway when the Roman held full sway Were young ponies curbed and bridled, ready for the Latin fray. Curbed and bridled? Ay, and saddled with a rider in each place. Waiting, eager for the signal, to begin the perfect race. Then my thoughts sadly reverted to the time-worn Brafferton Where to live a life of peace — ah well — was easier said than done. When mysterious midnight noises, nuule by hands unseen, unknown Would have terrified a tyrant or ha ' e thundered round a throne. Is it well that I should think so (having known it to be true By a rich and ripe experience) and to tell it unto you ? But no thought of mine nor action adds a tittle or a jot To exaggerated rumors, nor thy nose, O Botetourt. But I feel an inspiration, like a very mournful sigh. Feel amount of perspiration — makes me feel as if I ' d die Comes the latter from my forehead dropping in my eyelids now Blinding me for just a moment as I wipe it from my brow : Then let it fall on lid or ball, nnich or little, fast or slow. For I hear the clapper sounding, Billups ringing, and I go. (DtJf to tljc College of IDilliam auti iHavp Thoii star of an hmiiortal State, Dear eiiihk ' m of tnir lil)t.

WiLMAH (A.R.W.M.] i?4 atijictifs At no time since her revival in iS88 has William and Mary heeii able to look to the future with more flattering prospects of success than she does today. This statement is especially true of athletics. Her Faculty and board of visitors are thoroughly alive to the needs of the hour. They realize that ' tis the sphere of college education to develop the physical powers as well as those of the mind, and acting upon this realization they have erected one of the handsomest and best equipped gymnasiums in the State. The gynniasium is ably presided over by Mr. W. J. King, whose wide experience, high moral character, and envious athletic achievements make him eminently fitted for this responsible position. Mr. King has regular classes, which are as essentially a portion of the college curriculum as are the lectures of the professors of the various departments, and requires each student to spend at least three hours per week in gymnastic exercises. A gym- nasium is in more senses of the word than one an ornament to any college ; but where gymnastic work on the part of each individual student is absolutely re- quired; its usefulness is manifoldly increased. Although ours has been in oper- ation only a few months, its influence will be very plainly seen on the thirteenth of May, when will take place the annual field-day contests. With few exceptions the records of pre ious years are expected to be broken. Already Thomas is putting the twelve pound shot more than thirty -seven feet, with Garland, David- son and Bruce close seconds. Thus far Silver is doing the best pole vaulting, with an enviable record of eight feet ten inches, and a determination to make it nine before field-day. Shawen leads the broad-jumpers. His longest jump thus far goes several inches above twenty feet. Thomas, Garland, Bruce, Lanham and Corbitt are trying to throw the twelve poirnd hammer sixtj ' feet, but as yet Thomas who appears to be the leader, has been unable to reach that limit by three feet. There will be a large number of entries in each contest, and Mr. King pre- dicts a record breaking field-day. An unusual amount of interest was manifested in foot-ball here last fall. It was the absorbing topic with Dues, Juniors, Intermediates and Seniors, be- cause they were all represented on the gridiron by their respective teams. All four of the elevens trained long and hard, and contested stoutly for the champion- ship, which after four hard fought battles went to the seniors. It is not thought necessary to insert here the games with their respective scores, because they appear on another page along with the invincible eleven of 1900, which at no time, as the scores will show, allowed her goal line to be crossed. The regular college team, being composed almost exclusively of new men, was not as good as that of last year, and was able to win only one out of her three games. The first 126 game was won from Newport- News by a score of five to nothing, and the next two were lost to Hampden-Sidney and Randolph-Macon by scores of seventeen and eleven to nothing respectively. Next year the team will be under the man- agement of Mr. King, and is expected to be the best that the college has ever produced. The base-ball team for the coming season is working hard, and expects a successful career. The first game will take place on April S, with Gettysburg College, Peiin. The base-ball team of igoo was the best that William and Mary has ever had, and was without its superior in the Eastern di ' ision of the Inter- collegiate Association. Below is given a list of the games with their scores from which it may be seen that William and Mary broke even with each of the other three college teams, save Richmond, who played us unfairly on their grounds, and refiTsed to return the game. taxes Newport-News 2 William and Mary 22 Randolph-Macon 4 Hampden-Sidney 3 Richmond 1 2 Randolph-Macon 6 Hampden-Sidney o Newport-News 2 o 8 19 atftlctir association C.

After the battle of the ballots was over, the results, some of which were quite humorous, were announced as follows: Professor E. E. Worrell was elected the handsomest student. At the time of going to press, we w ' ere unable to ascertain, whether this was caused by his awfully pretty nui.stache, or the veneration for his age, which won him this honor over his younger rival, Mr. H. T. Davies. Mr. W. A. Maddox succeeded in capturing the position of the laziest student. We believe this was caused in a large degree to his low rate of ambition, than from any other known cause. The most intellectual stu dent was Mr. (t. A. Dodge. Mr. T. B Hurst was declared to be the smartest student, about unan- imously, and we believe him perfect!} ' capable or holding up this reputation. Mr. T. M. DeShazo was the greatest calico sport, although Mr. Henry Carr gave him a good run for it Prof. J. Lesslie Hall was given the vote for the most popular professor, this was no tloulit due to his past reputation of putting up good iMiglish examinations. Mr. N. P. Young was elected the biggest bum, closely followed by Mr. B. Silver. Mr. J. H. Chitwood, rt rt.s- Claude Swanson was declared to be the most popular student. Mr. F. S. McCandlish, oui ' ])op- nlar foot-ball and base-ball player was elected the best all-around man. Mr. C. M. Chicliester received the largest vote as the uglest student. Mr. K V. Corbitt, alias Shorty got the n,;atest student; Mr. J. W. (iossman, the poet, the best gymnast: Mr. W. H. Whitehead, the biggest grind: Mr. H. A. Hunt, the most dignified student: Mr. R. M. Jones, the biggest liar, the biggest poney rider, Mr. W. T. Hodges; the stingiest student, Mr. H. Iv Davis. The most college-spirited student, Mr. C. E. Gresham, and onr choice for the next Demociatic governor, Hon. A. J. Montague. i6 = Ctiitors ' fiotc We wish to express to the Faculty and Board of Visitors our gratitude and sincere thanks for the assistance so generously rendered in various ways, and desire to acknowledge our indebtedness in our Art Department to Miss Jeanette Rose Hunii lireys, Va., and Mr. H.
