Friends, students, faculty, lend me your ears. I offer here a Nugget, I dare not praise it. The jokes that Nuggets spring live after them Their morals are soon forgotten So let it be with this one. The old alumnus Tells you that Nuggets are unkind. If this one be, we humbly crave your pardon. But here it is, through the efforts of the Junior Class, To tell you of your faults, perchance to praise vou. Does this, in it, appear to you unkind? When that the Profs have joked, the Nugget Board hath smiled. Unkindness should be made of sterner stuff. Through weary weeks and months for jokes we ' ve searched With which to wreathe in merry smiles the face That now is saddened. Is this unkindness ? [ speak not to disprove what others speak But here 1 am to speak what I do know ; The Nugget Board doth love you all. It may seem perchance Your roast is too severe ; but think on this — It all was done for your particular good. If you ' ve escaped unroasted, blame not the Board. The fault lies in yourselves. You should acquire Straightway some vices. But 1 must pause, 1 only bid you turn the pages o ' er ; Let them speak for me. And when you pause Upon the latest page of all, you ' ll say Here was a Nuereret. When comes such another?

THE YEAR ' S SURVEY. The past year at the College has passed no less rapidly than others, in spite iif the fact that for several months at the first of the year the time was divided into intervals of two weeks, at the end of each of which we were to be in the Science Building. But this year marks the end of the mediaeval, the beginning of the modern in the history of Colorado College. After patient years of planning ami toiling mi the part of those who have the interests of Colorado College at heart, the reward has come at la t, the goal is attained, and Palmer Hall stands on the campus as a monument to the patience and labor of unselfish and noble hearts, as a symbol and instrument of the spirit of progress and enlightenment. Buildings of all sorts seem to have sprung up in a single night, McGregor Hall setting a fast and furious pace. Last spring the young women of the College watched with great interest the phenomenal growth of this youngest daughter of the campus who was quite ready in September to take a large number of them under her protection. As the Senior girls always have their residence in Ticknor Hall, so the Junior girls are ever to be at the head of clan McGregor. The most attractive feature of this hall is the large and fully equipped gymnasium fur girls. by means of which it is hoped that the co-eds. of Colorado College will be induced tn come out of their state of lethargy and, like their sisters in the East, take a greater interest in athletics for women. The demands of the new school of engineering necessitated many additions to the present equipments, and the year has witnessed the erection of shops for work m wood, metal, and at the forge, beside an addition of dynamo rooms tn the engine In atse. The Commencement Exercises of 1903 were somewhat interfered with by the rainy season which set in early in the spring and did not stop until everyone was safely home 111 June. We sincerely hope that the few millions of gallons of water which the Class of ' 03 willed to the Class of ' 04 will not be exhibited at the next commencement exercises. The deluge did not interfere, however, with one of the most important events of the season; even the Peak emerged t i smile for a few brief moments mi the presentation of the old Palmer Hall, now known as Cutler Academy, to the College infants. The change means that the Academy now takes its rightful place with the independent preparatory schools of the country, a prospective rival, under Professor Gile ' s principalship, of Phillips Andover itself. The loyalty of Colorado College supporters was tested during the summer when all over the state students and professors alike worked to spread the name and fame of the oldest institution - — . With fresh enthusiasm the old students returned in September to find themselves almost displaced by the caravan of Fresh- men which had arrived. The entire year has been marked by a new spirit of work and enterprise. One feels an atmosphere of a larger life than ever before. Early in the year there were rumors of fraternities and before most people had waked up to the fact, they were surprised by two or three Greek letter soci- eties. This is another event in the onward march, another product of the modern era. The literary societies have passed through a more prosperous year than any in their histories. Not only has another society for girls been organized, but the older organizations have been very enterprising in raising money for the purpose of building club houses made necessary by the inconvenience of their present quarters. Athletics, as in former years, have played an important role in the life of the College, and last spring the state championship in base-ball fell to the lot of the Tigers. Especial attention has been given to track athletics. For this line of work extensive alterations and improvements have been made on Washburn Field, so that it now has the reputation of being the best athletic field in the state. Colorado College is most assuredly wonderful blest in its advantages, some of which the dedication of Palmer Hall helped us to realize more clearly than ever before. There is little need to go to the East for culture and knowledge when Pres- ident Slocum can summon to our doors such representatives of Bryn Mawr and Vas- sar, Yale and Harvard, etc.. ad infinitum, as we find among our faculty, of whom we have every reason to be proud. Several of our professors have become addicted to the habits of foreign travel, but in the end they find no acropolis more interesting than our mesa no Alp quite eipial to our world-famed mascot.

Gideon of the State Normal School ; Professor Raymond Weeks of the University of Missouri. 20 The exercises in dedication of Palmer Hall on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, February 21st, 22nd and 23rd, attracted more attention to the college and its equipment than any other event in its history. Men of national reputation were on the programme and the efforts of the president and faculty were directed to making the occasion a grand rally of the friends of the College. The result was that there were over four hundred out-of-town visitors and on two occasions, the sermon Sunday afternoon and the formal dedication exercises Tuesday morning, the Perkins auditorium proved altogether inadequate. Hundreds were turned away. It is estimated that over two thousand people inspected Palmer Hall during the dedication. Among the distinguished visitors were the following college presidents : President Alderson of the State School of Mines, President Hughes of Ripon College, President Baker of the University of Colorado, President Snyder of the State Normal School, President Buchtel of Denver University, President Prince of the N. M. College of Agriculture, President Pleiss of Washburn College, President Van Hise of the University of Wisconsin and President Jordan of Ueland Stanford University. In addition official representatives from the following colleges and univer- sities attended the dedication: Amherst College, Andover Theological Seminary, Brown Universitv, Clark University, Colby College, Colgate University, Colorado Agricultural College, Columbia University, Cornell College, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Denver University, Plarvard University, Iowa College, La Fayette College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mount Holyoke College, North-Western University, Princeton University, Park College, Oberlin College, University of Chicago, University of Michigan, University of Nebraska, Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, University of Missouri, Western Reserve University, Williams College. ( )ne of the most successful features of the dedication was the intercollegiate banquet which was attended by 270 men, most of them graduates of Eastern Colleges. The readiness with which the Eastern college alumni responded to the invitation of Colorado College was remarkable. Speeches were made at the banquet by President Baker, Ex-Governor Thomas of Colorado, Ex-Governor Stewart of New Hampshire, President Slocum, President Van Hise, and President Jordan. Heard During Dedication. First Visitor (looking at mammoth) — Where did they get that buffalo? Second Visitor — In Siberia. See where they shot him. Little old lady — Do you perform vivisection here? — I ' m very glad to hear it. — No, that ' s all. The third floor has the Museum of Liberal Arts. The fourth story of the Science building will be devoted to Christian Science. You know this is a religious institution. Young lady (gazing at whale) — Is that an icthyssaurus? Woman (looking in incubator) — Is that where thev grow babies? Visitor at McGregor — Is this building a new undertaking in this city? Student — That ' s balanoptera physalis. Visitor — M-m-m — O yes, I see it is. ' 21 THE SONG OF PALMER. You shall hear a tale of Palmer, Of that great and wondrous building, How it waxed through years of toiling From the Science Hole unsightly Into which unwary tumbled, Where the Seniors came to see-saw And the guileless freshmen to in- vestigate some ancient ruin, Past the stage where many a rough hewn Slab of stone as good as peach blow, Found dislodgment all untimely, Went to swell the pile McGregor, Past all strikes and grievous blunders To the fullness of its glory, To the Science Hall most stately. ; •% % % Quoth the profs, then Advertise it ! Say, ' September days will find us ' Promenading every hall-way ' Holding forth in every class room. ' Spread ye far and wide this message ! Came and went the golden autumn, Came and went the hopeful students, Found the profs, still doing business At the same old stand, still patient, Trusting still to reach their goal Ere grim stalking death o ' ertook them, Ere they passed across the mountains. Last, one day in chapel ' s stillness Rose our president beloved, Rose up Prexy, bland and beaming Spake the chief in accents frabjous, List, my children, while 1 utter Words so strange you scare can credit — Burst a whisper from the maidens, Then the youths the whisper echoed — To the Science Hall tomorrow! Then the Sachem, proud and smiling, Uttered cautions wise and timely, Cautions uttered sage and prudent, Mar ye not our grand new wigwam, Mar it not in any corner, Lest ye have to shell out wampum. Lest we from the tribe expel ye, Ponder now its deeper meaning, What a vista lies before us ! As his words died into silence Rose a shout from all his children, •23 Rose a shout that cleft the rafters, What ' s the matter with our chieftain? He ' s a lu lu, he ' s a la la, He ' s the one that always gets there! Forth the paean pealed triumphant ; Out they gamboled, youths and maidens. Intermingling groans and laughter, Those who saw but doubled lab work, Those who left the depths of Coburn For the classic heights of Palmer. Fared they homeward all together, Homeward fared to corn and bear meat. On the morrow, o ' er the Campus, Came they slowly, came they quickly, Taking each his own pet foot path Straight across the grass to Palmer. Then ensued long days of suff ' ring, Days of icy chill and horror, Then the youths with upturned collars. Then the maidens blue and shiv ' ring, Sought to find aesthetic pleasure As they sat congealing slowly. They to get the warm side inside, Turned their coats the wrong side outside, Turned the inside skin-side outside. And to keep the cold side outside Turned the outside fur side inside. Thus they wandered, slowly learning How to reach their recitation Ere the recitation ended. How to thread the mazy hallways. Intricacies labyrinthine Of the great, the grand new wigwam. Later followed days of feasting. Days of happiness unrivalled, Days of cuts and golden badges. Days of crowds for knowledge thirsting, Came the Dedication season ! Then the big bugs flocked together, Gowned and hooded to the limit. Decked in all their festive war paint. Came from every reservation, For to smoke the peace pipe holy With the Pike ' s Peak tribe rejoiceful. Endeth here the tale of Palmer, Of the glory of that wigwam Plain encircled, mountain guarded ; May it stand for generations, Turnine out new Rraves of Science. S. H. 24 inwt: THE SENIOR CLASS.

Sophomore (speaking for Freshman)- — Oh! they haven ' t done anything. They ' ve talked a lot, but they can ' t even do that in an oratorical contest. Editor — This isn ' t an oratorical contest, so let ' s hear him talk then. Freshman (braggingly) — Last fall we marshalled together the greatest class ever in college. Last year ' s Freshman class even left us some. Sophomore (dryly) — Another case of the survival of the fittest. Freshman — And with sixty of our biggest and strongest men we guarded our noble banner against all the Sophomores, Sophomore (interrupting again) — Yes, fifteen of them! Freshman — and at their next party by a master stroke of military strategy, six of us captured ' Shorty, ' and would have stolen the ice-cream, if McC. hadn ' t seen a policeman guarding it with a gun. Sophomore— Humph ! the hired girl with a broom. Editor — What else? Freshman (indignantly) — What else! Isn ' t that enough! Can any other class in the history of Colorado College show such a brilliant record of daring feats of bravery and stratagem ! Do you think that Sophomore there can say as much for himself ! Editor — Well, let ' s find out. Sophomore (modestly) — Last September we found our class greatly de- creased in numbers, and greatly increased in spirit. Remembering that it is quality, and not quantity that counts, we were not in the least frightened by the vast array of Freshmen, and although they outnumbered us four to one, we decided to break up their first party. This we did most decisively. That night the Freshman swore a solemn vow of vengeance, and so a few weeks later, when rumors of a Sophomore spread were rife, they made ready for a bold, bad deed. From dark to daylight, they searched diligently for that mysterious party. They peered underneath the curtains of every house from Roswell to Stratton Park, and did not give up in despair till the whole town had been explored. That was an awful break, and, really, they seem never to have recovered from the shock. At their next party, by a neat little trick, we had their ice-cream delivered to us, and my, but it tasted fine. Our Barbecue Annex came off without the Freshmen even waking up, and at our next party the only disappointing feature was that ' Shorty ' was good for only five Freshmen instead of six. Editor — And how about the other branches of College Life? Sophomore — I hate to speak of our own achievements, but 1 can proudly say that on the foot-ball field, the class has been well represented. Of the twenty heroes, who by their grit and pluck won C ' s, six were Sophomores, and one of these, the team has wisely chosen for captain next year. Although basket- ball is a new feature here, the Sophomore class was able to look over its stalwart sons, and find there a captain. So it has been in all things, — whether in athletics, in oratorical contests, in debate, or in the glee club, the Sophomore has found a place, and earned there an enviable reputation. Of course, the Barbecue was such a great success, and left so good an impression, that I need not speak of it here. And so in looking back over our past year ' s work, we find that we have accomplished many things, and fitted ourselves for accomplishing many more, and in every case left a good example for those who follow after us. 54 THE FRESHMAN CLASS.

As this is the first year of the Engineering Courses in Colorado Col- lege, the Freshman Class is larger than those of former years ; and not only is the number greater but the quality is necessarily better, since the average of scholarship of the Engineering students, who form the majority of the class, must be ten per cent, better in scientific subjects than that which has heretofore been required of the Liberal Arts school. Everything has progressed very satisfactorily for us, since first we entered upon the joys a nd trials of college life, and we hope, before and after leaving the college, to do justice to the effort and expense necessary to provide for us and our successors, the new Palmer Hall. We held the usual class party soon after getting settled and got acquainted with our classmates and — the Sophomores got acquainted with us. Probably with the laudable intention of clearing our understanding ' ( we could have told them it was unnecessary) they sent a stream of water gently trickling beneath the door. But we soon argued them out of that idea. Then they wanted to come inside, but when they got in they evidently did not enjoy the atmosphere of the room, for as with one accord they turned tail. Of course we aided them as much as possible, but after the door was closed and the air again clear, a still small voice was heard, and after a rigorous search we found — oil pShaw, I won ' t give their names — but, at any rate, two Sophs, lost in the shuffle; and, not wishing to be inhospitable, we entertained ( ?) them the rest of the evening. We have enjoyed other parties since, but best of all was the picnic in North Cheyenne Canon. I need not describe it in detail. Most of you have Wandered in the Shadow of the Pines where the moonbeams could not penetrate and he sighed and she shied and all the rest of it. But, truly, did you ever have a more delicious and tempting menu before you than ours: Beautiful, green Peas — tender, juicy Lamb, straight from Mary (I mean Georgina) — coffee— Saratoga chips — apples — sandwiches — Rice for dessert. Doesn ' t that make your mouth water — some persons ' mouths were sore (symmetrically opposite) the next day, anyway. But I think they are all over it by this time, tho ' I wouldn ' t be sure about the conductor of the car they came home on. In some mysterious way the Freshman flag was nailed to the top of the pole one night and 1 — as no one volunteered to remove it — floated all the next day, a symbol of the lofty ambitions of the Corn and Wine. The class has added to the troubles of the College in several ways : The Athletic Association had to Hunt eight big C sweaters for members of ' 07 ; four of our musical lads added to the expense of the Glee and Mandolin Club ; while Freshmen captured four positions on the Basket Ball quintette; and it is safe to predict that they will shine on the diamond. We have the coming engineers of the world ; we have the athletes of the college ; we have the prettiest girls in the state ; and we have the Sophomores — on the run. For what more could a Freshman wish? THE SPECIALS. The writer of this combination of truth and fiction being, to say the least, not the first choice for this enjoyable task, feels that he should be allowed a great liberty in dealing with his subject in respect to truth and other immaterial matters. Most undoubtedly our class has in it the brightest minds of the College. This would go without saying, but we feel it to be only justice to ourselves to reiterate the fact and to bring it again before the notice of the admiring public. We pride ourselves on being not only students, but also scholars, a thing which we modestly remember having been said about us — by one of our number. We will not refer to the reasons why we are Specials, as that is a delicate subject. Suffice it to say that we and the Deans of the departments of the College have reasons for our being classified as such. Coming to personal mention, first and foremost we place Professor Strieby, our patron saint and guardian angel. He is a Special in the fullest sense of the term, as he knows everything. He loves the Specials entrusted to his care, and so do we. Some of us hope, at some distant date, to graduate. Others hope to attend College for some time yet, but beyond that are not willing to commit themselves. Ml are loval C. C. students. The following are our names Miss Bruner Miss Coolbaugh Miss Montgomery Miss Odell Miss Roberts Miss Smith Miss Thompson Miss Warr Miss West Miss Wise Miss Harvey Miss Lockhart Miss Foster Mrs. Detch Mr. DeWitt Mr. Falk Mr. Forbush Mr. Givens Mr. Harman Mr. Hedbloom Mr. Mclntire Mr. Pardee Mr. H.

In the mountain railways which radiate from this city, and m the Pike ' s Peak water-reservoirs, the student sees fine examples of civil engi- neering. The suburban electric railway of Colorado Springs, the high-tension three-phase generating plant just North of the city, the large and novel plant of the Hydro-Electric Co., now under construction in Manitou, offer a fine display of modern electric engineering. Near Colorado Springs are three large plants for the reduction of ore by leaching processes ; Cripple Creek with its world-famous mines is within easy reach ; the smelters and the extensive iron and steel works of Pneblo are among the finest metallurgical establishments in the world. Thus in a few hours the young mining engineer of Colorado College can reach engineering works which students in the east travel hundreds of miles to see. Add to this the fact that Colorado Springs is a most attractive residence city, without saloons and the concomitant features so undesirable in a college com- munity, and it becomes evident that a high-grade School of Engineering will flourish here. To develop such a school is the aim of Colorado College. Some of the money necessary for this undertaking has been already promised, hut more is needed. We proceed to state briefly what has been accomplished and what plans will be carried into effect in preparation for next year. In order to carry on the Freshman and Sophomore engineering work of the present year, three new instructors were appointed to the faculty : one for draft- ing, descriptive geometry and machine design, one for surveying, and one to superintend the work of the mechanical laboratories. Next vear the Junior studies will be added to the engineering course and it is planned to appoint either two or three new instructors. Past fall three mechanical laboratories were equipped, namely, the wood- working laboratory, the iron-working laboratory, and the forging laboratory. To prepare for the increase in the number of students which we have good reason 60 to expect next fall, it will lie necessary to enlarge somewhat the equipment of these laboratories. During the past year the college has fitted up a well-lighted drafting room in Perkins Hall. ( )ne dozen new double drawing-desks were secured, hut larger provisions must be made for next year. ( ur first class in descriptive geometry prepared half a dozen thread models of ruled surfaces. These are interesting, not only because of their intrinsic value, but also because in one or two instances the college colors and class colors were selected as the shades of silk used in making the models. ( ur equipment for the work in surveying was considerably increased during the past year by the purchase of several instruments which have become historic from the fact that they were used in the surveys of the Short Line Railroad from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek. Another indication of expansion is the necessity of adding, for next year, new instruments to those already on hand. The museum purchased for Colorado College by Air. Stratton contains a large assortment of minerals which are an exceedingly valuable addition to our previous mineralogical and paleontological collection. These collections taken together, render the new mineralogical laboratory one of the best equipped labor- atories in Palmer Hall. The preparation for the junior work of our engineering courses, which begins next fall, will greatly tax our financial resources. The completion of our assav laboratorv and of a room for crushing and sampling ore is not far distant. Plans for a testing laboratory for experiments on the strength of materials are under way. A 100,000 pounds testing machine will he needed, for measure- ments in tension, compression, bending and torsion. The laboratory for electrical engineering will call for various types of ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, resistances, galvanometers, condensers, self-induction apparatus, dynamometers, storage batteries and dynamos. The electrical plant, owned and operated by Colorado College for lighting the college buildings, will he of service in the course on applied electro-magnetism. For the experimental courses in steam- engineering and hydraulics considerable apparatus will be needed. To pursue the studies in engineering it is necessary to have books as well as apparatus. The Coburn Library, with its 25,000 volumes, contains some works of interest to the engineer. Besides our half dozen engineering maga- zines, we have the U. S. government publications on irrigation and a number of standard works on mining and applied electricity. But all in all the present library does not supply the needs of an engineering school. To remedy this state of things a committee of ladies in Colorado Springs has taken upon itself the task of raising one thousand dollars for the purchase of recent standard books on engineering. Hence next year when students advance to the more specialized engineering courses, they will be able to find in the Coburn Library the author- itative works hearing on the subjects which thev arc pursuing. In recent years it has been recognized by educators that there are advantages resulting from the daily contact of engineering students with students in the department of liberal arts. Each class of students learns something from the other ; each is led to a more generous appreciation of the value of the education received by the other. This matter was emphasized by President E. T- Tames in his inaugural address. He said: Tt seems to me apparent that the verv emphasis which pure and applied science has received in our modern educational system by the union of technical school and universitv has made its contribution to the revolution in the study of the humanities which has marked the last gen- eration in this countrv. 61 THE ART DEPARTMENT.

The study of Art at Colorado College, as elsewhere, is given to the end of teaching the student that Art is truly an expression of beauty, a rendering of form, light and shade, — harmony — into terms which even the uninitiated may feel and understand. But it is impressed upon the student that the attainment of this expression comes not only through the power of feeling the suhtilties of beauty, but also through the power of thinking out the idea, of perceiving what really lies behind. So he learns that he must work, perseveringly and intelligently, toward a certain end — and the way is not hopeless, either, for if one side of his paper is spoiled, is there not still the other side? and if both sides are useless? why then, it is only a piece of paper anyhow. The morning is the real work time, for then the students draw or paint, as the case may be, from life. There is great variety in the models. Sometimes it is little pickininny, again it is an old man, or a middle-aged lady in black, who looks as if she were the victim of a secret sorrow. But they are all a patient sort, for they sit quietly for long half-hour periods in one position ami when they are dismissed do not even remark that they never did take a good picture. Two afternoons in the week Still Life studies are set up which the students strive to reproduce — usually in water-color. Since the Department is modeled after the Paris Ateliers, it is possible to spend as much time in the studios outside of regular class hours as desired. A very delightful phase of the art work is the outdoor sketching. On certain sunshiny days the whole studio adjourns to some secluded spot and works with all its might to get a likeness of the Peak, perhaps, before the wind shall come and try to blow away paint and likeness, too. Unprecedented honors came to the Department last year in the winning of two of the New York Art League scholarships. The competition for these scholarships is open to all the art schools in the United States, so it is easily seen that the winning of two of them is no mean attainment. In all the work it is the aim to maintain a true art atmosphere, Truth, not spirit , to keep the work on broad lines, and to study the needs and encourage the individualitv of each pupil.

R. Arnold M. F. Coolbaugh W. R. Armstrong Miss Johnston There is perhaps no more interesting way of tracing the development of Colorado College within the last few years, than by looking at the past record of the Alumni Association and comparing it with our present condition. One cannot but be encouraged by the contrast which appears by such a comparison. Too much, however, cannot be said in appreciation of the students of the early days of the College. As they come back from year to year, and bring to us scenes from the beginnings of the College, we cannot but feel strongly that our later successes are a natural development of a promising beginning. We are told that the Association was organized about 1885. But to most of us the outlines of its early history are dim. We hardly wonder that the earh organization left no definite record, when we realize that from this year until the coming of President Slocum in 1888, the College was without a president. The Alumni Association has very fittingly recognized this period of struggle in the life of the College by giving to the students of those early years the name of Pioneers Very appropriately, too, they were voted eligible to membership in the Asso- ciation without having graduated from the College. The necessity for this appears in the fact that in some years there were no graduates, and in others (inly two or three. ( hir Pioneer list is one of which we may well be proud. 68 Among its members are a number of tbe most prominent citizens of Colorado Springs, and of other cities in the state. Our membership list included two other classes : the Honorary roll, the character of which is accurately implied in its name ; and the Graduate roll, which also explains itself. Much, however, might be said about the process by which we reached so definite and satisfactory an organization. Now that we are on such a firm basis we can afford to smile at our first unsteady efforts at organization. In the days not so very long ago — days when the graduating classes numbered only half a dozen, the Association could not afford to be exclusive. Now you must bring your diploma with you, when you apply for admission. There have been times when simply the honor of having been connected with the College would let you in. Those, however, were rather uncomfortable days. The unfortunates who had no degrees could see only a short distance ahead. They might be in the Association one day and out the next. Or they might drop from Honorary into Associate Member- ship without much warning. All this represented the struggle that was going on in the effort to reach the position that we now hold. The membership problem now settles itself. We are now a large family as we gather each year at our Annual Alumni Luncheon. We present some striking contrasts to the smaller although delight- ful circle that used to gather several years ago. Perhaps the change that makes itself most felt is the strong class spirit now in evidence. Not that class spirit was ever lacking at our reunions ; but no one can deny that a class represented by two or three is at something of a disadvantage when it gives its class yell. Our later classes now give their yells, and encourage the imaginative flights of their speakers, with a happy assurance of superiority that adds undoubted brilliancy to the occasion. It is pleasant to be convinced that each class is the best. Best of all, of course, is the newly-graduated Senior Class, whose members we welcome as our guests before they go out into the cold world. What would our Luncheon be without them ? They form the link that connects the Alumni Association with the College. With them present we realize that the students of the College and its graduates form one body, and that we must all work together if we would realize the possible, future successes of Colorado College. One step ahead we have made as an Association in our newly-acquired honor of representation on the Board of Trustees of the College. That we should be so represented seems not only appropriate, but significant in the highest degree. For what does it mean but this : that we for whom our Alma Mater has given her best should now become her warmest supporters and her truest friends? May it be found when the future history of the College shall be written that it is impossible to separate from it the history of the Alumni Association. 69 President, - - W. R.

The objects of this Society, as stated in its constitution are: The dis- cussion of recent scientific results, the promotion among its members of scien- tific inquiry and investigation, and the publication of the more important papers read at the meetings. With the advantages of a well-adapted building, with excellent laboratories for all the branches of science, well equipped with the best apparatus, and with a museum of which we may well be proud, doubtless the spirit of scientific research will be strongly stirred, and the opportunities for original investigation will not be neglected. With this activity there must come increased interest in the work of the Scientific Society, and much original material for its consideration. Since its organization in 1890 the Society has considered a wide range of topxs, from the abstractions of higher mathematics to the results of literary and philological research. Some of the papers are technical in character, but many more are written with a view of spreading scientific interest among the students and faculty and the people of the city. The more important papers are published in the Colorado College Studies, of which ten volumes have been issued. The editor of this publication is the Secretary of the Society. This is much the most important office, for upon its efficient administration much of the success of such an organization must depend. The Society is fortunate in having as its Secretary, Dr. Florian Cajori, Dean of the School of Engineering, who was influential in founding it, and has held that office uninterruptedly since that time. Some of the papers which have been read before the Society during the past year are as follows : — Prof. W. F. Sturgis: A Popular History of the Myxomycetes or Slime- moulds — a group of organisms allied to both the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Mr. B. M. Rastail: The Cripple Creek Strike of 1894. Prof. T.

The account of its hopes and fears, its achievements and intentions, given in Volume One of the Nugget will, with a few exceptions, do for Volume Five. However, instead of debating with the East we are to debate with the West. Last year Nebraska concluded that she wanted the earth and all that therein is. So we are no longer on speaking terms with her. This break with our old friends is to be very much regretted, but their demands wen: more than a person of ordinary common sense could acquiesce to. This year we arc to try the spirit and ability of an institution whose environments are largely like our own— namely the University of Utah. Our dealings with her so far have been eminently satisfactory and we must congrat- ulate ourselves on making an acquaintance with a University of such fairness. It is to be hoped that our dealings may continue according to this beginning. 72 Officers. President, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, Ernest Brehaut [. Harold Nash, ' 04 J. H.

It is played practically the year round and affords the best opportunity to stu- dents and faculty alike for regular exercise in the Colorado sunshine and bracing air. During the past year the affairs of the Tennis Club have been flourishing. Its membership during the first half-year was over fifty and the spring term -q ' fi - will probably bring out an additional fifty. The in- creasing membership made it necessary last fall to construct new courts. This was made possible by the help of the college authorities who gave a splendid site, large enough for four courts, and terraced the ground. These courts have been surfaced with a mixture of adobe and fine sand. In appearance, location and construction they rival any in the state. The champion players of the Club made a creditable showing in the inter- collegiate tournament held in Denver last spring. Ingersoll, ' 04 carried off the championship in singles, and in the doubles, Ingersoll, ' 04 and Nash, ' 04 were beaten only in the finals. A mid-winter tournament was held t his year for the first time, the Club champions in singles and doubles being barred. There were twenty-four entries. The playing in some of the matches was very spirited and some good material has been developed. The semi-final matches were between Rever, ' 06 and Professor Parsons; and between McAfee, ' 07, and Leuchtenberg, ' 07. Leuchtenberg won the final match, defeating Professor Parsons and win- ning the cup offered by the Strang Sporting Goods Company of Colorado Springs. The spring tournament will be played as usual. Trophies will be offered for the champions in singles and doubles. This tournament will be an important one and should bring out the best men in the club, as the winners will represent the Col- lege in the intercollegiate tournament which the club expects to hold on its home courts towards the end of May. For this tournament Mr. William F. Richards of this city has offered to present a cup to be held as a trophy by the winning college. Y. F. Richards. 73 Apollo Officers. First Semester W. L.

That is enough to speak tor itself. Determination ever has and we hope and trust ever will continue to characterize our club. This determination was made a part of the Club at its inception in 1890. It has pulled us out of defeats and maintained us in our victories. When we were turned out of house and home the immortal sixteen backed by this spirit of determination built our Club House — the only one now on the Campus. True, it is not very elaborate or expensive but it is just the kind of me and you house in which Apollonian goodfeeling and hearty friend- ship thrives as it has thriven for so many happy years. It is this same spirit of determination to do our best for Apollo that has kept the Club together in an indissoluble unity. Strange to say, in the last eight elections there have been only two contests for the Presidency — in the rest this important office has been filled by acclamation. This dominant spirit does not confine its benefits to the Vpollonian Club. Last year through Apollo ' s influence, Prof. W. A. Wyckoff of Princeton lectured to the College; this year Ex-Gov. Alva Adams delivered his stirring address on Best Ways of Politics at our request. Apollo may have been defeated, but Apollonian grit would not play the quitter. We would rather be beaten than licked. Apollonian determination believes in being game to the back-bone and on that account we are one big Booster ' s Club working not only in the interests of the Club, but more in the interests of Colorado College to which our duties are as sacred as those of humanity to Deity. In short, we say, after the manner of Emerson, that when Apollonian determination savs you must, we answer we can and do. 77 First Half Eva Canon, Jean Ingersoll. - Lucile Allderdice, Ethel Moore, Grace Trovinger, Officers President Vice President Secretary Treasurer - Fa c tot ion Second Half - Cora Wilcox Clara Cowing -Nellie Cheley Jessie Smith Ada Armstrong Roll Nannie Armstrong Ada Armstrong Mabel Barbee May Brunner Nellie Cheley Flosse Churchill Annie Clough Clara Cowing Eois Crane Lola Davis Ethel Harrington Katriena Hayden Margaret Isham Ada John son Emma Leidigh Elizabeth Lockhart Emily Palmer Eulalie Reinhardt Una Reinhardt Ruth Ragan Jessie Smith Charlotte Spalding Lottie Starbird Mabel Stark Mary Strachan Margherita Welling Cora W ' ilcox 78 MINERVA. cits Although Minerva has an interesting past to look haek upon, the present has absorbed her attention this year. Not often since her organization have the months been so full of interesting and gratifying events. It was decided this year to devote the time to a study of Shakespeare ' s plays, and with the aid of some members of the faculty and other scholars, an interesting program was made out. Songs from Shakespeare, a production of Pyramus and Thisbe after Minerva ' s own version, talks and lectures by different friends. and a reading from Midsummer Night ' s Dream accompanied by Mendelssohn ' s music have been introduced to vary the regular work, and thus the time has passed with pleasure as well as profit. One of the greatest treats of the year was a talk given by Mr. Frederick Warde to Minervans and their friends, one afternoon in Perkins Hall. Mr. Warde spoke at length of Hamlet , reciting the main soliloquies, then took up Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Othello and Taming of the Shrew. The personality of the speaker, with his interpretation of Shakespeare, delighted his hearers and it was much appreciated that so busy a man would take an afternoon to discuss with a college society the work in which they were interested. The year ' s work is to culminate in a presentation of one of Shakespeare ' s dramas. The Winter ' s Tale has been chosen, and it is hoped that this first Shakespeare play given at Colorado College will be an event that will long be remembered. But Minerva does not devote all her time to literary pursuits. Early in the fall, as soon as College had fairly opened, a dance was given for the new girls, who were thus afforded an opportunity to meet Minervans at a time when everything but pleasure was forgotten. Then after the election of new members a charming spread was arranged in their honor. This, like the dance, has become an annual affair and is eagerly looked forward to by old as well as new Minervans. All attention is devoted to the latter, who are welcomed to the society with toasts and speeches. This year Minerva admitted no Freshmen, an arrangement which bids fair to prove successful in every respect and better for all concerned than the old method. The Minerva Function, the great event of the year, has fuller mention elsewhere. In addition to various informal spreads and dances for Minervans alone, a farce — Six cups of Chocolate — was given on February 17 for the Apollonian Club, and on February 26, a tea for the faculty ladies and friends of the Society. Other social affairs follow during the spring months. The Minerva Fair, which added over five hundred dollars to the club house fund, absorbed much time and attention during the fall. With the assistance of Mrs. Cajori, the alumnae and many friends, it was made a great success, and at no very distant time Minerva hopes to have a club house of her own — a dream which has long been waiting to be realized and now at last appears to be on the point of coming true. Every year seems to strengthen the bond of good comradeship and love for the society existing between Minervans, undergraduates and alumnae alike. The girls, as they work hard for the success of Minerva in the present and look for- ward with eager hope to the future, have linked with their old motto — Once a Minervan, always a Minervan, this new bit of wisdom given to them by their friend Mr. Robert Rurdette — Keep sweet and keep a-movin ' . 80 MINERVA FUNCTION. December 10, IQ03. December, the month of the Christmas holiday season, with its green and its gayety, is the time of the Minerva Function. Many weeks before the event are spent in planning for it, improving old customs and seeking new ones, and the results are usually extremely gratifying, especially to the inner man. On the evening of the tenth this year, in Ticknor Hall, the guests were received by Miss Wilcox, Mrs. Slocum and Miss Park. A special honor came to Minerva in the fact that Mrs. Courtlandt E. Palmer — an opera singer of note — consented to sing for them. Her magnificent voice was heard to splendid ad- vantage in the first group of songs which displayed its range and technique. Several lighter melodies followed, given with spirit and delightful abandon. The last numbers were Chansons d ' Amour, and were rendered with exquisite feeling. Mrs. Palmer combines a rare charm of manner with a marvellously beautiful voice. After the music came the progressive luncheon which is the distinctive feature of each Minerva Function. At the end of each course the gentlemen progressed to fields and partners new. This constant change, added to the babble and laughter, presented an animated scene. Jests and brilliant ideas originated at one table were carried on to the next, to be received with just as much eclat. Time sped on too quickly, and the happy throng realized with re- gret the fast approaching hour of midnight. Goodnights were said and Min- erva ' s twelfth anniversary had been duly celebrated. 81 First Semester. P. D. Rice, - J. A. Birchby, - R. L. Givens, A. C. Hardy, C. C.

We meet to-night to cheer and sing for Pearsons Society! Those who had the good fortune to be in the audience on the night of the Inter-Society Debate, when the two rivals, flaunting their colors, and swaying to and fro to the steady time of the march, filed down the aisles in lock-step formation and proceeded to make the air look blue with subsequent cheering and singing, — those who were there, we repeat, — will not ask the meaning of the above lines. On the contrary, the eye will grow bright and the face will become illumined with pleasure at the very thought. But almost at the same moment the query will be raised, Why is it that the College, as a whole cannot show the same, ' never die, ever loyal spirit, ' that these two literary societies evince each year at the great event of the season ? And before pro- ceeding farther we may fittingly remark that this question is well worth con- sidering. No one doubts for a moment, if he thinks at all, that the literary societies have furnished and always will furnish practically all of the championship timber in the many branches of college life and that is why we are proud to write that Pearsons Society, in being on a par with the best, occupies that position today because she has on her roll the names of many of the most illustrious sons of old C. C. To our friendly rival, the Apollonian Club, we owe our birth. And Apollo may well thank those men who, a few years ago, deemed it ad- visable to start a new society. For not only is Pearsons Society, with its past record, present standing and future possibilities, the result, but Apollo, too, as well as the entire life of the College, is stimulated and positively advanced. As a result of the inevitable rivalry which is bound to grow up between two such healthy organizations, Pearsons has so thrived as to be well developed along all lines of effort. As a result of this broad culture, she has to date, captured three out of five Annual Inter-Society Debates, with fine prospects ahead for the future. In the field of literary effort she has gained distinction, being well represented on the Nugget and Tiger Boards each year. With athletics, too, she is coming more and more in touch, as the number of C ' s now worn by her men will amply testify. Finally, in oratory, Pearsons has been ever foremost, and may she always shine, is the health we drink to our orators. The latest news along this line is the winning of the local oratorical contest by two of her men of the class of ' 04. And yet, we would not close this review without mentioning the general work done by the Society, as well as its future aims. We started in last fall, under peculiar difficulties, with a large membership and cramped quarters. But in spite of this hindrance, the debates, the literary numbers, the music and oratory, in fact, every department of our varied programs, have been up to the Pearsons standard, faithful and enthusiastic. Unity and Push, is our sig- nificant watchword and the old motto is becoming more and more a living reality. But one thing remains to place Pearsons in a position to do her best, and that only, the building of a suitable society hall. A word to the wise is sufficient. Study the stars and seek advice of the hoary astrologer as to their talismanic effects. But ask the Pearsons goat, and he will look sombre and wise when, with a significant shake of his well trimmed goatee, he tells you that before many moons, he too will have a place to lay his weary head after he has done his share of the ' butting in. For the old boy thinks as we all do that the Pear- sons Societv is the best society that ever debated in old C. C. 84 Just like stealing candy from the baby.

It was even so thatte in thys yeare ye Contemporary Clubbe hadde reached its fifth birthdaye, and after five years of sojournynge in ye Lande of ye Create Manitou ye maydes hadde waxed stronge in Favoure and Knowledge. Moreover ye Clubbe hadde thirty wise and blythesome Members, who pursued, so wel as was their might, ye Pathes of Learnynge.

The annual reception of the Contemporary Club was held on the evening of May thirteenth, in the Perkins Art Rooms. The president, Miss Smeigh, with Miss Loomis, received the guests. After a large number of Contemporary ' s friends were assembled, Mr. Rubin Goldmark, who is so well known to music lovers in Colorado Springs, gave one of his musical lectures. Mr. Goldmark rivals Damrosch of New York in this treatment of musical subjects. He chose for this evening Wagner ' s Mastersingers, and gave a most charming talk on the plot of the opera, illustrating it with themes on the piano. It was hard to say which was enjoyed more, the lecture or the music, for Mr. Goldmark is a most entertaining speaker as well as a musician of rare ability. At the completion of the program the audience enjoyed an informal social hour. The three Art Rooms were thrown together and transformed into salons by the artistic decorations. Refreshments were served to the guests at small tables for four. MILTONIAN. President Vice President Secretary and Treasurer H. C. Biggs G. A. Collins J. W. Horn C. C. Miller Officers Roll F. M.

Without it the student loses a great deal which he will always regret. This was realized by a number of students in the fall of 1901, but a society was not organized until the spring of 1902. After the organization, the choosing of a name was next in order. After long and serious deliberations on many names, the good old name Miltonian was chosen. The first year ' s work was a great success. Among our little band of twelve boys were the winner of the College Oratorical Contest and another who won first place in thought. Not only was the society supplied with orators, but it had its share of good football and baseball players, musicians and debaters. The following year was no less a success from the literary as well as the social and athletic point of view. A member of the society won second place in the College Oratorical Contest. The debate with the Forensic Club of the State Agricultural School, which has become an an- nual event, was lost by a vote of two to one. There were no experienced men in our society to pilot our boys to victory. We learned in this debate that we were able to compete with the societies in other colleges, and although beaten our debaters put up a fight that was an honor to any society. In athletics the society won its share of honors. This year we began our work with a firmer purpose, more determined than ever to win. Every man put forth every exertion preparing for the debate against the Forensic Club. When this event came, the whole society, speaking through three men, showed its advance, and proved its right to the name of one of the foremost societies in C. C. by defeating the Forensics. The aim of the society is to develop together the intellectual as well as the social side of college life. The motto is Be ashamed to die until you have accomplished some victory for humanity, and our achievements in the past show, before us, a bright future and many victories. 90 Officers First Semester Second Semester President - - Jessie Gordon Vice President lone Montgomery ■ Ruth Anderson Dora Slack Zoa Kidder Maude Stoddard - Alda Mevers Roll Ruth Anderson Cornelia Ball Mazie Chaplin Elisabeth Collier Winifred Dodson Clotilde Dubach Florence Eckhardt Elnora Gaddis Maude Gaddis Bessie Gordon Jessie Gordon Eva Harvey Louise Holcomb Clara Kavanagh Zoa Kidder Caro Lynn Elizabeth McDowel Sadie McDowel Alda Meyers Alice Meyers Dora Miller lone Montgomery Marie Roberts Vera Rodger Dora Slack Maude Stoddard Edna Taylor Ida Williams Zaidee Zinn Ruth Gilbert HYPATIA. to The organization of a new society was discussed among the girls at the beginning of the year but no definite action was taken till later. Early in October a meeting of the girls interested was held in Ticknor Study. No objection was offered to the organization of the new society ; on the contrary much encouragement was given it. Those who had been present at the first meeting were enrolled as charter members ; committees were appointed to draft a constitution and select a name for the society. Many names were suggested ; famous women, ancient philosophers, the greater part of the Greek alphabet ; but at last Hypatia was decided upon. The remainder of the first semester was devoted to perfecting the constitution, and getting the society in good running order. At the beginning of the second half-year new officers were elected and definite work planned. The Society is to study for the rest of the year, Famous Women of the Nineteenth Century. At stated times the entire program is given over to parliamentary drill, this being in charge of a regular officer, the attorney. Being a new society not much was done in a social way. Two very pleasant informal dances were given the members by the officers of Hypatia. These little affairs helped greatly to bring the girls together and get them better acquainted. On February thirteenth from four to six, Hypatia received the ladies of the faculty. Ticknor Study was prettily decorated in a fashion appropri- ate to St. Valentine ' s Day. Many of the faculty ladies attended and expressed surprise that so young a society was so large and well organized. Although a new society, Hypatia contains good material, and is in many ways worthy of support. The Minerva and Contemporary girls helped us or- ganize, besides offering many helpful criticisms afterwards. Especial thanks are also due to Mrs. Urdahl and Mrs. Hamilton for their interest and assistance. Now that regular work has been taken up and excellent programs given, more interest is being taken both by the members and by outsiders. 93 President, Recording Sec ' y, Officers. A. C. Hardy Treasurer, - - W. H. Nead A. E. Mitchell Corresponding Sec ' y, - P. D. Rice The Young- Men ' s Christian Association of Colorado College was organized almost fifteen years ago, in 1889. The minutes of the association give the following record of it: A few of the young men of Colorado College met in the reception room of the College Club House at 3 o ' clock, Sunday afternoon, October 13, 1889, to consider the subject of forming a College Young Men ' s Christian Association. After some discussion they decided to form one, and Geo. De La Yergne was chosen temporary chairman and Wilmer Culver, sec- retary. The first duly elected president was Mr. P. M. Mead, who served in that capacity for a year and a half. The total number of men working with him on committees were nine, and they probably were the charter members of the organization. With this beginning, thus briefly recorded, the work of the association has been carried on from year to year by successive generations of students. The membership has grown quite steadily, the enrollment this year being about eighty- five. The following is a list of the successive presidents, from the first year down to the present time: (1) P. M. Mead, (2) H. S. Murdoch, (3) J. B. Kettle, (4) F. S. Bayley, (5) E. K. Gaylord, (6) P. L. Gillett. (7) A. ' e. Holt, (8) G. C. Spurgeon, (9) L. McLean, Jr., (10) R. C. Wells, (n) I. S. E. Houk, (12) O. D. Sherer. (13) A. C. Hardy. The object of the association, to quote the words of the constitution, is to unite all students who desire to strengthen the spiritual life and influence of the College; to promote growth in Christian character and fellowship and aggressive Christian work, especially by and for students, to train its members for Christian service and to lead them to devote their lives to Jesus Christ, where they can accomplish the most for the extension of the kingdom of God. To accomplish this end two regular meetings have been held each week and Bible and Mission siudv classes have been conducted throughout the year. A small group of men who desire to work with their fellows individually, have met almost daily for prayer. Throughout our history a majority of the men who have been prominent in all phases of college life have been active members of the association. A manly religious life is what we stand for and we have always been supported by the true men of character who are not afraid to stand up for their convictions. 94 Officers. President, Vice President, Recording Secretary, - Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer, Jean Ingersoll Florence Haynes Jessie Smith - Ruth Ragan Margaret Isham What is the Young Women ' s Christian association and what work does it do ? What position does it hold in the life here ? For what does it stand ? Such questions rise involuntarily to the lips of a new-comer as she studies the claims presented to her notice by college activities of all descriptions. Perhaps a brief sketch of the work of the Association could not do better than to take up these questions as they come, and endeavor to answer them clearly and honestly. First of all, then, the Y. W. C. A. is an organization which welcomes to its ranks all girls of college and academy: an organization wherein every member may find awaiting her some definite service for Christ. Perhaps she likes to welcome new students and introduce them to all the delights and puzzles of college life — the Fall Campaign Committee seeks her out. Perhaps she would enjoy the responsibility and excitement of planning and engineering one of the big opening receptions here the Social Committee finds its recruit. Again, her tastes may turn to music or art, and the association never has too many musical girls or too much poster talent in its midst. Then there are weeklv meetings to arrange, with attractive and helpful subjects to be thought out and leaders to be chosen. The Finance Committee claims those who can collect money most successfully, for the Association budget, made up of dues and voluntary pledges, covers a variety of expenses. Part of the money goes toward the support of Miss Wood, our missionary in China. Then, the Missionary Committee itself takes up the preparation of the Christmas box sent out each year by the Association to Seboyeta, New Mexico, where some of our alumnae 95 have clone splendid work. A special contribution was also made last December to another box sent to one of the graduates in Las Cruces. Besides this, enough money was raised to give a number of Thanksgiving dinners to poor of the town. The Mission Study Class, which has been most interesting this year, comes under the charge of the Missionary Committee, while the Bible Study Committee has organized three excellent Bible classes. The Membership, the Intercollegiate and the Affiliated Membership Committees have their special lines of work, interesting students in the Association and keeping in touch with other colleges of the country and with our own alumnae as they go out from among us. These are some of the activities making up the work of the Association. Its position in college life is perhaps harder to define. As the one distinctively religious organization for young women alone, it has a most important mission in holding girls to the life to which they have been accustomed at home, or in interesting in Christian work, if possible, those who have heretofore been in- different. It is eager to give help and encouragement to all whose lives it may be permitted to touch. One of the practical channels into which this desire has turned is the furnishing of the Girls ' Rest Room in Palmer Hall. Through the large-hearted generosity of our friend, Mrs. Gile, a beautiful rug has found its way into this room; others have come forward to help in the undertaking and before the end of the year we hope to make No. 43, Palmer Hall, one of the most charming and attractive places on the College campus — the gift of the Young Women ' s Christian Association to all the girls. And lastlv, for what does the Association stand? Surely it must stand for ready sympathv, for the spirit of true helpfulness; for honor in small and great things alike ; for earnest endeavor in all branches of student life together with a hearty support of whatever is best in college; above all and in all these, for eager, thoughtful service to the Christ whose influence has made possible for us everything that goes toward developing well-rounded young womanhood. No one realizes more fully than Association members themselves how far short of this ideal the actual organization falls. There is need of constant encourage- ment and inspiration, such as come from the Geneva Conference and from the visits of secretaries, one of whom. Miss Bridges, we were permitted to welcome to Colorado College this year. The loyal co-operation of friends among the faculty means much to Association girls, as they strive to keep the ideal of the Christ-life before their eves. Miss Bridges herself has summed up in one short sentence all that the Association stands for wherever it is found — all we strive to have it stand for here — To make Jesus Christ real to every girl. 9fi Leader, - Albert Chain I lardy, 04 Secretary, - Bessie Maud Gordon, ' 06 Emma Elizabeth Montgomery, Sp.

Lowry, ' 07 Our local Volunteer Band is a part of the world-wide organization of College students who have declared their intention of becoming foreign mis- sionaries. The purpose of the organization is two-fold, — to help the members fit themselves for their future work and to interest others in the cause of missions. The central idea of the movement is this: We believe that the highest de- velopment, physical, mental, and spiritual, is attainable only by a life in touch with the Giver of Life, lived in the line of His purposes. We believe this not for ourselves alone, but with respect to all classes and all conditions of man- kind. We believe literally in Jesus ' declaration, The field is the world; and therefore deplore the humanly-arbitrary distinction of Home and Foreign missions. We are led by observation and by study to see most serious needs in all parts of The Field, for college-trained and unselfish, consecrated young people, who will give their energies and abilities to the solving of moral, social, and spiritual problems in the more neglected districts. Viewing the needs as a whole, — not through lack of patriotism to the im- mediate environment, but because we find more candidates ready to enter the home work, and more urgent necessities calling to the foreign , we have resolved, if the way be opened, to devote our labors to the foreign field. 97 Officers.

The Colorado College Glee and Mandolin Clubs of this year have certainly lived up to their motto of previous years, The Best Ever , and have put forth an organization which has been a great credit to the College in every way. The Clubs this year were especially favored in having a fine lot of voices from which to pick and a competent leader in the person of Clarence W. Bowers who was not only equal to every emergency but was more than anything else, one of the boys. The Clubs were fortunate also in their manager, James Piatt, who did everything in his power to make the Christmas trip a success and tried in every way to give the fellows a good time. The trip this year took the Clubs down into New Mexico and touched upon many towns never visited before by the fellows, and this was added pleasure. Besides the trip which will long be remembered for its beautiful scenery and good times, the Clubs were twice entertained by prominent Clubs of the city, the first time by the Elks who showed how the younger generation is not the only one which knows how to have a good old time , and again by the members of the El Paso Club who will always be remembered for their hospitality. In both instances the Club-rooms were thrown open and the fellows told to make themselves at home. Every- where the Clubs have received the highest praise for their work and Colorado College can easily boast the best Glee and Mandolin Clubs ever put forth in its history. The Christmas trip included the following places : Rocky Ford, La Junta, Pueblo, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Trinidad, Canon City, Buena Vista, Leadville, Grand Junction, Delta, Ouray, Eaton, Greeley and Denver. 10(1 THE COLORADO COLLEGE QUARTETTE. The Colorado College Quartette — Messrs. Shaw, Bybee, Ingersoll and Work, has been one of the leading features of the Glee Club for the past two years. In addition to this, they have this year taken an independent trip through Castle Rock, Littleton, Montclair, Fort Morgan, Brush, Loveland, Eaton, etc. In this undertaking they were ably assisted by Mr. Bowers, pianist, and Mr. Rice, reader. 101 THE GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB.

With the success of last year ' s concert behind them, the Girls ' Glee Club started in this year with bright prospects. The omens were not unfavorable and so far the Club has had every reason to feel great encouragement and enthusiasm. It has been asked to sing on several occasions and has always enjoyed doing so. In the Operetta, The Enchanted Palace, which the Club has substituted this year for the usual cantata, they hope they have been making a change which will be pleasing for variety. The music was not as elaborate as usual in cantatas, but was very bright and pretty and the entire Operetta was well composed. The training for the concert and especially the Operetta differed from that of former years and was very interesting. One attractive thing about the presen- tation of the latter was the costuming and scenery. The concert was something quite different from anything ever before attempted by the Club and its repetition in future vears is assured bv this vear ' s success. 103 KAPPA SIGMA.

The Faculty had finally consented to allow them to enter the College and there was a sentiment in their favor throughout the entire student body. Moreover, there were four faculty members who belonged to Beta Theta Pi. These, together with other Betas in town and throughout the state wished to establish a chapter here. On looking over the ground they found just what is needed for a good fraternity, namely, a crowd of congenial fellows who desired the fraternal life which comes from a membership in such a national fraternity as the Beta Theta Pi. So, under these favorable conditions the Beta Phi Club was formed. The Beta Phi is a social organization, whose primary object is to obtain a charter from the national fraternity, the Beta Theta Pi. A prospectus has been issued and the matter of granting a charter will come up for final consideration at the national convention of the Beta Theta Pi in St. Louis this summer. Weekly meetings of the Club are held in the Club ' s quarters at Hagerman Hall. Several social affairs have been given, and more are to follow. The first function was in the nature of a house-warming held when we entered our new quarters. At this were present several of the prominent Betas living in town and also some from Boulder. On the 27th of February an informal dance was held at the Kinnikinnick. Several more of these are planned, but the function which the Club will try to make a memorable one is a reception and dance to be given just before commencement week. Every member of the Beta Phi heartilv agrees to the sentiment, that so far the experiment of a fraternal organization in Colorado College has proven most pleasant. 108 !

It was well attended by the Faculty and students of Colorado College and Cutler Academy as well as all the small boys and stray policemen of the town. The grand-stand was decorated with the ancient and honorable college bunting, with strings of lights and rows of grinning jack-o-lanterns. It was further ornamented by a large and hungry audience. At a barbecue not much is expected in the way of entertain- ment, so no effort was made to procure speakers from out of town, home talent being considered sufficiently uninteresting. In the absence of Mr. Randolph, Mr. Tucker gave the speech of wel- come. The audience was not visibly agitated. Prof. Parsons and Dr. Lancaster followed with speeches remarkable for their singular freedom from the usual fossilized jokes of a professor ' s collection. The polished wit of the classes was well represented by Bartlett ' 07, Bale ' 05, and Rice ' 04. No one made the mistake of taking these gentlemen ' s jokes seriously. But who can be out of sorts when a fresh, crisp breeze fills ones lungs, especially when the aforesaid breeze is perfumed with roast beef and cider? This is the one night of not only willing but anxious more class chose several of preside over the refreshment hungry horde pushed out and the year when every one is to be stuffed. The Sopho- their adepts in this art, to booth. The seized what- ever was thrust at them without having a chance to say whether they wanted it rare or well done. Now the average professor would probably tell you it was very well clone; that this was not rare for the Sophomore class, — but no one likes to be bored by these evidences of higher education. Apples vanished as if by magic; whole sacks of peanuts were consumed with a supreme disregard for shells; slabs of pumpkin pie disappeared in the twinkling of an eye, or to speak literally, in the closing of a mouth; most of the cider was drunk by thirsty Mother ELarth and the equally dry police- men. Soon everything eatable was consumed except the plates, and, — to quote again the professor, these soon went to feed the fire. As the crowd assembled about the fire the exu- berant spirits of the big boys bubbled over, and the blanket tossing began. This rather dangerous pastime is permitted by fac- ulty vote, as these reckless young men have an unpleasant way of annoying the matrons and other nervous ladies in the vicinity with tic-tacs, when not more quietly employed. When the fire began to burn low, and the sinewy foot- ball giants began to feel exhausted from their unaccustomed exercise, the crowd slowly dispersed. 119 GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB CONCERT PERKINS HALL, APRIL 19, 1904 PART I . 1.

From third place in the inter-collegiate standing, the college came to the top of the list, but not without a hard struggle. Golden and Boulder were our strongest rivals, but the superiority of the Tigers was manifest throughout the season. By defeating us on her home grounds Boulder tied us for the pennant. This necessi- tated another game on neutral grounds in order to decide the championship. This game was played in Broadway Park, Denver, Tuesday, June 2d, and was one of the most exciting games ever played in the history of the Colorado Inter-collegiate Baseball League. The Tigers were in fine form, batting like fiends and making only one error, which was not costly in any sense. The final score was 7 to 3 in favor of the Tigers. Undoubtedly the 1903 team was the best amateur field- ing team ever produced in the state. In batting it was not much inferior, but probably the team of 1900 was stronger in this department of the game.

The football season of 1903 was an even greater disappointment than that of 1902. Never in the history of the College had there been a more promising outlook at the beginning of the season. Perhaps never had the supporters of Colorado College felt more secure in expressing the belief that a championship would be safely landed. The team had a captain who had seen four years of hard football, and who, though not a star, was a good, steady and conscientious player. As to the players themselves I would simply say, the College had the best material in the state. Indeed, never in her history, had she more promising men, both new and old. Lastly the College had hired Mr. Merrill as coach. Mr. Merrill held the reputation of being the best all-round athlete in the West, and the College felt fortunate in securing his services. Well, the story is painful to tell ; and, inasmuch as this is true, 1 shall say as little as possible. One thing 1 can not overlook is the genuine loyalty of the faculty and student body even in the face of most bitter defeat. While speaking along this line I should mention with equal praise the loyalty of each individual man who represented the College in that hard, losing fight. Nor should I forget to tell of those alumni who came to us in the early part of the season and so helped us that we were enabled to win the D. 17. game in an excellent contest. But I must hasten, and answer the question, — Why, then, did we not win the championship? One reason was because the college teams of Colorado played far better football than ever before. Our game with D. U. was a fierce battle from the kick off until the whistle blew. It was as good a game as any former struggle between two top notchers ; yet, D. U. finished last in the race and we could only go one better. However well the teams may have played, it cannot be denied that the real reason for our defeat lay in the utter lack of team work in addition to the great number of injuries we received. With regard to team work it may be said that the team undertook more than it could do. In all, more than sixty different plays were learned during the season and not one of them perfected so that it went with telling effect. In the matter of injuries, poor judgment was also clearly shown. It is a fact that four-fifths of the injuries happened during practice. As a casual remark it might also be said that the team played its best games in practice. Then, when nothing was at stake, the team did well because it was in condition ; and afterwards, when a great deal was at stake, the team absolutely failed because it had spent its energies. Thus, as a critic, I have attempted to merelv suggest the situation of the season, and, at the same time, show some of the faults that may be easily remedied. The question of having alumni coaches has attracted the attention of many friends interested in the welfare of the College. Of course this will come sooner or later, as it has come to all eastern colleges of high standing. The only question is, When should we begin? , and in the mind of the author the time is now ripe. Looking forward to next year ' s prospects, we see nothing but encourage- ment. All but one of this year ' s C men will return and we may expect an abundance of new material from many sources. In addition to this, the team will be led by one who has already proven himself an excellent leader of men as well as an excellent player. Indeed, to find the best football captain in Colorado, we have only to hunt up our own Loring Lennox. 128 The Coach. Captain, ' 03. Captain, ' 04. Manager, Captain, The Team.

Al- though the game has been played for two years by a team of College men, it is only this year that the Athletic Association saw fit to recognize and support such a team. Basket Ball is worthy of the support given and we are glad to see it here at last and we believe it will not only continue but will prove itself worthy of a place with the rest of our sports. Although our team of 1902 was made up of new tk ■ m- ak W material and suffered repeated defeat, their existence as a M mf m ' ' Ms Of team was productive of much good to C. C. Many high-  M Jm W? school players about the State noted that a team was M m pV organized here and, realizing that experience and team work count so much in Basket Ball, came here for their College course. Therefore at the beginning of the year, we had at the start a lot of good, experienced material. In fact, we were enabled to pick our team from among more than the necessary number of men, each of whom had played upon some championship team of the State. But more than two months of valuable time was wasted in waiting for the Athletic Association to agree to give their support to the game. As soon as this was done, a practice was called and the men began to work faithfully. Too much time, however, had been lost as was shown in the first intercollegiate game. The men did not know each other and consequently no team work was possible. Each subsequent game showed improvement and when we consider that all the men but one were Freshmen, we may well be proud of them although defeated. We can justly praise their spirit of loyalty and their grit, and look with confidence for a successful future. With the excellent support which the students have shown this year, our men, experienced, well acquainted, and confident in each other, will give a good account of themselves and prove their right to that good old name, Tigers. 130 Officers. E. V. Painter, R. M. Work, Captain Manager During the past year the interest in track athletics has grown remarkably. Last year we had no track, no trainer and but a small, poorly-trained team. We sent Churchill, Hawley, Killough and Nead to the State meet. Hawley won first place in the 220-yard hurdles, Killough third place in the 220-yard dash, and Nead third place in the hammer throw and high jump. It was not expected that the team would do much, but it showed to Colorado College the necessity of having a trainer and suitable grounds. In December, 1903, Mr. Washburn gave a sum of money to be used in improving the athletic field. A quarter-mile track was laid out around one football field and the grounds enlarged so as to allow an- other field outside the track. A 220-yard straight-away is made possible on the east side of the track. With these improvements we were voted the State meet at the February meeting of the Athletic Board. The present condition of our track- athletics is due to the tireless efforts of Manager Work, who has left nothing un- done which could in any way build up interest in this line of athletics. 132 LEWIS CLUB. qtff Officers.

With the completion of Palmer Hall, the recitations of the College have been almost entirely separated from those of the Academy. So we now have complete possession of the classrooms and laboratories of the old Palmer Hall, now named Cutler Academy ; the room formerly occupied by the museum is to be refurnished for a study room. As the growth of the College has necessitated the withdrawal from the Academy Faculty of several instructors who formerly taught in both College and Academy, new instructors have taken their places. This policy of separating the two Faculties will be continued. A good basket-ball team was formed last fall and played several match games with local and out-of-town teams. The baseball nine is a member of the Interscholastic League. A football team will be put in the field in September. With the enlargement of Washburn Field our most serious handicap has been removed. We are free of debt and have a surplus in the treasury. 136 CLASS IV. Officers. President, - - Donald McCreery Vice President, Carl Lehman Secretary and Treasurer, - - Ethel Rice Colors.

Another year has passed since we made our last appearance in the Nugget, and this year, like other years, has brought its changes and its problems, even its defeats, but it has not been without its rewards. It may be seen from our picture that in numbers we are weaker than last year, but numbers are not always a criterion of strength, nor the lack of them, weakness. Former Hes- perians, some in College here or elsewhere, and some among the Alumni of the College, have left with us a spirit more powerful than numbers, which binds us together and gains for us real victory. It might be well to state briefly a few points in the history of our society. A few fellows, some seven years ago, seeing the need of a good society in Cutler Academy, to bring together those who were interested in debating and literary work, or cared to become so, organized Hesperian. From that time we have not only struggled on, but flourished under many adverse conditions. In this time we have held six debates with outside schools, two of which were with schools outside the state. We won four of these. In ' 98 the coming of Pro- fessor Pattison into our society as critic, marked a new epoch in Hesperian, and too much thanks cannot be paid him for what he has done for us. Although our chief aim, which we never lose sight of, is excellence in debating and general literary work, still we find time now and then for some lighter diversion, and one of our most enjoyable customs is to have, twice a year, a social evening with Philo. Even though we have finished our series of debates with Lincoln High School, Nebraska, we are not idle this year. We are working now on a debate with a school in our own state. We are working with our faces toward the West, under the guidance of Hesperus, our beckoning Star. 140 PHILO. r tt? Officers.

Until last year the programs consisted of original work, debates on some of the leading questions of the day, papers on interesting and instructive subjects, and book reviews. This kind of work, however, began to be unsatisfactory and the object of the Society was changed to that of a Reading Club. Last year there were read and discussed a number of works of Robert Louis Stevenson, Stockton, Haw- thorne and Miss Edgeworth. The new plan was found to be very pleasing and successful, but at the opening of this year the girls began to see the danger of descending into a mere current literature club. So it was thought best to try reading some of Shakes- peare ' s plays, and this line of work has proved both interesting and helpful. Two girls have each meeting in charge and by previous preparation are enabled to make the reading of the plays more instructive and enjoyable. The social side of Philo has not, however, been given up. The society plays an important role among the Academy girls in social affairs and forms a bond of friendship among the girls such as nothing else could do. Informal teas and dances are frequently given which are thoroughly enjoyed. One of the most important events in Philo ' s calendar is the annual play, which in former years has proved very successful. The roll of the Society contains the names of all the Academy girls who are most efficient in literary and musical lines, and the prospects of Philo ' s future success are very promising. 142 ID SIGMA FRATERNITY. The Sigma Fraternity was organized in Cutler Academy at the beginning of the school year, September, 1903. It is the first fraternity ever organized in the history of the Academy. It has been progressing rapidly and is now a strong body. The members all belonged to the foot-ball team, five members were on the basket ball team, five are playing on the base-ball team and also several on the track team and in the Academy Literary Society. They have a house which they have rented where they hold their meetings. The first annual banquet was held at the Antlers Hotel, January 15, 1903. Active Members. W. M. Crapo Burlington, Iowa A. L.

Lehman Wooster, Ohio Ul mm $ o ■ BASKET BALL. ' ■ ■ To outsiders, athletics in Cutler Academy seems to be of little importance, but an acquaintance with the facts shows it to be far otherwise. The Academy, it is true, has practically no reputation in athletics, but this has been due to lack of opportunities and competition. There is no lack of material, nor of spirit. The athletic council decided that to carry a foot-ball team was too much responsibility, yet several Academy students practiced the season through with the college squads and the Academy class game showed conclusively that there was an abundance of good material and an aggressive, athletic spirit. The past basket ball season is less a history of deeds accomplished than it is the clearing of the way for many deeds in the future. As this is the first year Basket Ball has had the support of the Academy, it was undertaken under great difficulties ; no suitable place to practice, no coach, and not an experienced player. The game progressed, nevertheless. Plenty of candidates, always a second team, and a willing spirit went far to make up for the lack of experience. About Christmas time the team joined the Y. M. C. A., thus being able to practice regularly with the college team and be on a good floor. The advance made in the remaining month of play was remarkable. At the first they were easily beaten by both the college and Y. M. C. A. teams, and at the close they were holding their own surprisingly well with the former and were the acknowledged superiors of the latter. The only other games were two with the Pueblo Y. M. C. A., one at each home town. Although beaten by a narrow margin in both games, the reason was plain. Football tactics with no possibility of science and the fact that they averaged four to six inches taller and from 25 to 30 pounds heavier, man for man, than the Academy players, made possible their opponents ' success. It is a record of defeat as regards the games, but of success as to the season. No schools in the Academy ' s class within reach had teams to compete with it. All of its games were with teams out of its class. The spirit and faithfulness shown by all the participants in spite of the lethargy, which attends all athletic beginnings among the Academy students, argue well for better and more direct success in the future. 146 BASEBALL. CIU In past years the Academy has not been doing much in the baseball line. This year we expect to make an epoch in Academy athletic history, by having a strong Academy team. At the date of writing a league has been organized, embracing Centennial High School of Pueblo, Colorado Springs High School, and Cutler Academy. This league will be known as The Southern Colorado Interscholastic Baseball League and will be of great advantage to Cutler, especially if we should win the championship. In that case, we would be entitled to a game for the State Inter-Scholastic championship. The winning of the latter would mean a much larger school and consequently a stronger team. With the material which we have, and with the assistance of a good coach, we could turn out a winning team. To help our cause along, we expect to be able to use the auxiliary diamond which is now in process of construction, and with the practice we hope to give the college, we can turn our material into the team it should be. At present our greatest deficiency is behind the bat, but we may be able to fill up that hole. The pitching staff is fairly strong for an inter-scholastic team ; the infield will be one of the fastest in the state, and the outfield candi- dates are showing up very well. In Captain Bernard, the Academy has the right man in the right place. He is an exceptionally heady player, and an able captain. The material is as good as could be expected, so nothing remains to be done but to develop it and look for the co-operation and support of all school spirited Academy students. 148 NUGGET PRIZES.

Two jolly looking senior girls were eating fudge and gossiping. Alice was quiet for several minutes as she munched a piece of fudge, then she suddenly burst out with, Say, Edith, do you know that this is leap-year, the first one since we ' ve been old enough to appreciate it, and we haven ' t had one bit of fun out of it yet? I think it ' s a shame. What are you up to now, Alice? Spring your scheme, I guess I can stand it. I haven ' t thought of anything yet; I ' m just thinking. Really now, is it possible? Well 1 wouldn ' t disturb your meditations for anything. And seizing the plate of fudge Edith curled up in the window-seat. With one longing glance after the fudge, Alice resolutely turned her back- on the laughing Edith, rested her chin on the palm of her hand and proceeded to think. After a few minutes; Edith, do you hear that whistle? Yes, that ' s Polly getting back from Roman History. She can ' t help whistling; she ' d whistle at her own funeral. Yes, I know, but I ' m not interested in Polly ' s whistle just now. Edith, you know Polly would do anything under the sun if it was a dare. Alice! Edith started up suddenly, you ' re not going to — Oh yes, I am. I ' m going to dare Polly to propose to somebody. — Going to the door, Oh, Polly, come here a minute. You oughtn ' t to make Polly do that. Oh, it will be heaps of fun. Ssh ! here she comes. A curly-haired girl with mischievous brown eyes entered. Fudge? Yes, thank you. I thought I smelled it as I came up stairs, but I hadn ' t definitely located it yet. Well, Alice, what do you want? Must have wanted me pretty badly or you would have waited till this fudge was gone. Ungrateful wretch ! All right, just as you please, my dear; but go ahead, I ' m waiting. Well, you see, I was telling Edith that you were ' game ' , and — Shouldn ' t use slang, my dear. All right. Well — this is leap year you know. I was just telling Edith that I was going to dare you to propose to three of the fellows. She didn ' t think you ' d do it. But— I dare you to, Polly. You mustn ' t pay any attention to Alice ' s nonesense, said Edith; but Polly wasn ' t listening. I dare you to, Polly, Done, said Polly recklessly. Who shall the victims be? Any one you please. Only write the proposal and show us the answers. No, I ' d rather you ' d name them, Alice. Only they must know a joke when they see it. Well, Will Halliday, Bert Winston, and- — with a wicked smile, Jack Fuller; they all have a good sense of humor. At the last name Polly winced inwardly, but outwardly she gave no sign. When Polly had gone to her room, Edith said, You shouldn ' t have named Jack. 151 Oh, I don ' t believe she cares. She didn ' t blush the least bit, I was watching. Two days later Jack and Will were lounging in Bert ' s room. Will was saying, Of course there was some joke behind it all. Wonder if we three were the only lucky ones? I think so, answered Bert. I was there when the postman came, yester- day, and ours were the only ones in her writing. Wonder what she ' ll do when she gets our answers. I suppose you both accepted? said Will. I didn ' t. I refused for Jackie ' s sake. Doesn ' t seem to appreciate it, does he? What ' s the matter, old man ? You look about as cheerful as a well-conducted funeral procession. Didn ' t you accept her, Jack? Why her heart will be broken. I didn ' t answer the letter, growled Jack. I hate to be rude, drawled Bert, but I believe you ' re prevaricating. Well it ' s none of your darn business, anyhow. and Jack threw himself out of the room, slamming the door. Whew ! Jackie ' s cross. What ' s the matter with him, can ' t he take a joke? asked Bert. You know he ' s apt to get serious where Polly ' s concerned. Poor Jack. Polly ' s all right, of course, but she ' s a born flirt and she couldn ' t be serious to save her life. As Polly returned late that afternoon, she found three letters waiting for her in the hall. She hurried to her room and closed the door. Then she sat down with the letters in her lap. There were three of them but she looked at only one. Oh, I wish I hadn ' t done it, thought Polly. I ' m afraid to open it. Jack always did think I was frivolous, and now he ' ll think I ' m a — I ' m a perfect — . Then with a toss of her head, I don ' t care what he thinks, so there. And to prove this statement her lip quivered and a big tear fell on the letter. Just as she started to open the letter, she heard the voices of Alice and Edith in the hall. As the girls burst into her room, Polly only held two letters in her lap. Oh, you did get some letters, didn ' t you ? I was sure I saw some on the table this afternoon. We haven ' t time to read them now. The supper bell rang five minutes ago, cried Alice. ' I don ' t believe Polly heard it. Were you reading your letters, Polly? No, I haven ' t had time yet. Well, we ' ll hear them after supper. Come on, I ' m famished. And the girls hurried to the dining room. An hour later the three were again in Polly ' s room. I think this is from Will Halliday, said Polly, opening a letter. As she glanced over the sheet she burst out laughing. Oh girls, this is jolly. He has accepted just as if it were an invitation to dinner. Listen : ' Mr. William Halliday accepts with pleasure Miss Polly Kingsley ' s kind invitation to matrimony. ' P. S. — Which was it, Pollv, a bet or a dare? ' Will. ' Will ' s all right, said Edith. I knew he ' d understand. 152 Next, called Alice. This is Bert ' s, (reading) : ' My dear Miss Polly: T appreciate the great honor that you have done me in asking me to be your husband. But it is impossible. Please believe me when I say that I never dreamed that you cared for me. We have always been good friends and I hope that you ' will let this make no difference. My heart is already in the keeping of another and I had believed that you were ' — Oh, that ' s just some of Bert ' s nonsense. He finishes up with this : ' I hope you will always let me be a brother to you. Yours very sincerely, ' Bert Winston. ' Now, vou know how it feels to get a cold-blooded refusal, you heart-breaker, you, laughed Alice. Well, we ' re ready for Jack ' s answer. Jack didn ' t write, said Polly, hastily stooping to pick up Bert ' s letter, which she suddenly dropped. Just then the maid came to the door with a card for Polly. A gentleman to see you, Miss Kingsley. Oh, it ' s Jack, I know it is, cried Alice. He ' s going to answer in person. You may tell the gentleman that I ' m too busy to see him, said Polly, with her head high and her cheeks very red. Why, Polly, you ' re not afraid to see him, are you? whispered Alice. Afraid? Of course not. Tell the gentleman that I will be down in a few minutes. As Polly disappeared down the stairway, Edith said softly; Polly had three letters this afternoon and one was from Jack, I know his writing. Naughty Polly ! Polly entered the parlor with her head held very high. Good evening, Mr. Fuller. Did you get my letter, Polly? Yes I got it. I ' m awfully sorry, Polly. I was a perfect brute to write it. Won ' t you forgive me? Well, I don ' t know. You see I haven ' t read it yet. And a dimple peeped out to show that she was the same old Polly, still. Then please burn it, without reading it, Polly. I was angry when I wrote. The fellows kept laughing about it and I got furious. I thought then, that it was righteous indignation because a girl could make a joke of such a thing. I know now that I wasn ' t angry about the joke itself. I was angry because you did it. Don ' t you understand, Polly! Won ' t you forgive me, dear? And Polly forgave him. An hour later Alice heard Polly ' s door close softly. About two minutes later she slipped in and found Polly holding a burning match to an unopened letter. You see, Alice, said Polly, softly, I was fibbing this afternoon. He did write. He says that he refused me. What makes you look so happy, dear? Well — you see — he refused me — but — I couldn ' t refuse him. TO MILTON. Lofty in thought ! No less thy thought-born speech In lofty measure, dignified and strong, Forth from that fountain pure doth flow, in song More noble than the sullied mind can reach. Freedom and Justice thou dost seek for each Weak son of God, downtrodden by the throng. Thy Pen is mightier than the sword of Wrong. Thy life incarnates what thy word doth teach. And so it is that in thy tones is heard An echo of the Harmony Divine That long had failed the sordid sense of men, But found response in that pure breast of thine, And coming, thro ' thee, back to earth again, Divinity, long dormant, in us stirred. W. M. Vories. 154 A BIT OF GRATUITOUS ADVERTISING. Wake up, Louise, and help me find that pencil! I have an idea. I ' m glad you realize the scarcity of the phenome- non sufficiently to make a note of it, said Louise Hamilton as she began to look for the missing article. At this time of day on a stuffy Pullman, almost any old idea would be acceptable. What is it? The idea, said Ruth Norris, is merely this, I am going to advertise. Advertise what? My dear child, what should it be? Colorado College, of course. Did you cut chapel the day Prexy pointed out our duty in that line? Why it expected that every one of us will return in the fall followed by a train of new students. And this is the chance of a life time. If 1 remember rightly, 1 have heard of the advertising power of the student body, before every vacation for the last three years. But I confess I do not grasp your present purpose. You are denser than I gave you credit for, Louise Hamilton. The only reason we have so few students from Indiana is that the Hoosiers are not sufficiently informed concerning the institution at the foot of Pike ' s Peak. I am sent to enlighten their darkness. You have an exalted idea of your mission, I must confess. Not at all. I merely write a glowing account of the college on this candy box ; and throw it out of the window. It is picked up by the proper person ; he decides to come to C. C. and brings all his friends with him. Now isn ' t that simple? Very. I only fear that if everyone gets as many new students as you will, not even the new Science Building will be large enough to hold them. If I might be permitted to make a slight suggestion — Oh certainly — Small favors gratefully received. You have neglected to mention the main advantage of your scheme. And that is, it will kill time until supper. Now, Louise, I consider that a most unkind remark — a slam in other words. T was about to suggest that you take the box, give me the cover, and after we have filled them, let us compare ads. This counsel prevailed and after a few minutes of rapid writing the girls exchanged boxes. After a brief glance, Ruth said with a burst of laughter, ' Two minds with but a single thought ' — ' great minds run in the same channel ' — etc. etc. Indeed there was a marked similarity in the two advertisements. Both began in large letters : Colorado College the oldest institution for higher edu- cation in the Rocky Mountain region, and ended with Pike ' s Peak or Bust! Extended mention of the new Palmer Hall and the School of Engineering was made in each. Ruth filled one side of her cover with information about the baseball championship. A discreet silence was preserved in regard to the kindred sport as far as the past was concerned. But glowing accounts of future prospects were 155 given. Tennis, basketball and track athletics received their share of attention. Louise devoted her extra space to the glee club, the Italian climate, and the grand and glorious mountains. Now, really, Ruth Morris, you do not intend to throw these ridiculous things out of the window, said Louise after she had read her friend ' s production. Indeed I do. Have you no love for your Alma Mater? All they need is, ' For further information apply to William F. Slocum, President, or Edward S. Parsons, Dean, ' and our names. An anonymous contribution is never kindly re- ceived. Remember The Tiger. ' Throw them out if you must, but I object to having my name — Make it initials then. It will be all the more interesting when our protege is hunting for his benefactresses. All right. Where are you going to throw yours? Mine goes into the next fine large cornfield and — Is picked up, interrupted Louise, at an early hour in the morning by a strapping young fellow- — six feet three — and strong as an ox. He reads the testi- monials and, on the spot, determines to go to Colorado College. Pass to the head of the class, my dear ; your penetration is only exceeded by your — Oh here is the very place ! — Throw yours out, too, and we ' ll kill one bird with two stones. The girls threw the pasteboard boxes out of the window, laughingly, and Ruth continued her interrupted speech. Next fall at the opening reception we stand with calm exterior but with hearts that swell with pride as the ' Gentleman from Indiana ' , the new football hero, brought by our unaided efforts, bows over the president ' s hand. Bravo! continued Louise, and after he has left the reception committee he will go around seaching for R. C. N. and L. J. H. Exactly and when he finds us — First call for supper in the dining car, said the porter. T T T T T Well, Ruth, what news from our little ad? Any applicants for the position, as yet? The two were standing not far from the reception committee, and Louise who had arrived in town only a few hours before, was scanning the crowd for familiar faces. No, I haven ' t had time for anything but registering and receptions. I did catch a glimpse of Nell, however, and had just time to learn that there is a student from Indiana. The Dean called her then, so I didn ' t get the name. That doesn ' t matter, said Louise cheerfully. Now we ' ll just look around for our protege. How glad he ' ll be to find R. C. N. and L. J. H. Speak of angels — iny dear, there comes the ' Gentleman from Indiana ' himself. A young giant was making his way down the line. The girls gazed at him silently for a moment. I have such an uncanny feeling, murmured Ruth. Our fairy tale is coming true. Of course it is the football hero of our making. Who else could it be? Isn ' t he a dandy! said a voice at her elbow. Genuine Coloradoan born and bred. I got him here myself, Miss Norris. I guess Prexy ' ll have to thank me for a good job of advertising this summer, and Tom Ferris beckoned proudly to his awkward young friend, who was finding the room a little cramped. Miss Norris, allow me to present Mr. Burke. 156 So glad to meet you, Mr. Burke, said Ruth absently, as she listened with one ear to a surprising bit of conversation between Louise and a short, thin, old- fashioned looking boy. I wonder now if you mightn ' t be L. J. H., Miss Hamilton, are you? Well now this is a coincidence ! You see, mamma was planning to come out West for my health, anyway, and one morning I found your boxes along the road and got sort of interested in Colorado College. After that we decided to come to Colorado Springs.. I expect to take one or two studies. Yes, I should like to meet R. C. N. I feel as if I knew you both already. It was nearly the end of the evening before the two girls could trust them- selves together again and keep straight faces. The little Indianan had dogged their footsteps happily all evening. It was my first bit of gratuitous advertising, murmured Ruth, sadly, and I do believe it will be my last. Cheer up, dearie, said Louise sweetly, but with air of conscious superiority, I ' m so glad it wasn ' t my inspiration. CHRISTMAS. Break forth in song, O Soul that long hast yearned To know thy God ! No more may Sin defeat ! To-day the throne becomes the mercy-seat, And Love incarnate hath the vict ' ry earned. — Not all our thorns to fir-trees yet are turned, To plough-shares all our swords are not yet beat, Calm Peace hath not yet cooled all battle ' s heat, And fires of hate and passion still have burned. Yet, surely thro ' the darkness and the din We trace the widening circle of the Light, — As dawn steals gently o ' er the sleeping earth, — Which first was born in Christ on Christmas night. And all that brings Hope ' s brighter morning in Has had its dawning in that Holy Birth. W. M. Vories. 157 THE SWORD OF BUNKER HILL UP TO DATE. Saturday evening had arrived and with it the open- ing reception at college. Great excitement prevailed. The students were bubbling over with ' thusiasm, and everybody expected a large time. Perhaps noone felt more keen anxiety than Hezekiah Hill, lately christened by that honorable as well as venerable name, Bunker Hill. He was a tall, thin | fellow, and looked like sweetness long drawn out. He had come to college to win fame and glory for the Sunflower State, and incidentally break a few hearts, for he was the lady-killer of Kansas — the Beau Brummel of the Kaw. Bunker went to his room early to prepare for his grand entry into society. On the bed lay a hand-me-down dress suit bought that day from Isaac Oppen- stein for $10.98, and a hat wrapped in a pink paper. Nearby were his patent leather shoes (number thirteen), procured for $1.49 from Jacob Guggenheimer — a rare bargain. He began his preparations by rubbing his face until it became a dull cerise color and looked as if it had been sandpapered and he brushed his red hair until it seemed capable of emitting sparks. And now came the tug of war — to put on his three-inch collar. The buttons seemed to have appointed a meeting under the dressing table, and Bunker spent an anxious half hour on his knees hooking them out with a cane, an operation which improved neither his temper nor his trousers. After a long series of wrenches and jerks which left the collar almost shapeless, he succeeded in fastening it, and then triumphantly adjusted a long, red tie. The effect was startling and we had visions of train robbers and tin horn gamblers, but Bunker was delighted at the result and proceeded to put on his shoes, well satisfied with himself and all the world. He left his shoes until the last because he felt instinctively that they would hurt. He pulled and worked and perspired and a look of awful agony that was sad to see came into his face as he climbed upon a chair to survey his aching members in the mirror. A slight noise at the transom attracted his attention and horrors ! — there stood a dozen Sophomores in convulsions of laughter and West, the corpulent foot- ball captain, seemed on the verge of apoplexy. Bunker rushed madly to the door, but only a bunch of coat-tails rapidly disappearing down the hall was visible, and then he went out into the night to cool off. Bunker blew in to the reception rather late and after being passed along the receiving line like a football, was relieved to find himself safe at last in a corner. All the beauty and chivalry of the College was assembled there. Nearby several portly ladies, the Professors ' wives, were talking at bashful, red-faced Freshies, while the more enterprising Profs, conversed with a crowd of pretty girls, to the great disgust of the boys, who cast malicious glances at the aforesaid unoffending pedagogues. In the corner opposite him, Captain West, known in polite circles as Wooly West, reigned supreme, surrounded by a throng of worshipping maidens; even the College president assumed an awed look as he listened to this mighty hero who was half-back on the team and way -back in his classes. And now Bunker resolved to begin his conquest, so, with a boldness char- 158 acteristic of the Sunflower people, he informed a girl standing next him that it was hot and thus started an entertaining and elevating conversation on temperature and college. She was a plain looking girl whose good nature was ever on the border of idiocy and her only accomplishment was an unlimited capacity for giggling. Her only claim to distinction was being nice and as Wooly expressed it, She was so nice she was right nasty. Bunker was just telling her that Freshman Math was so jolly and she was confiding that she adored the young, cross-eyed English professor when Wooly. I ' enfant terrible, came up and politely but firmly took the girl away. Wooly had seen Bunker ' s manoeuver and with the traditional Sophomore cruelty resolved to break up this combination of two fools with not a single thought, two hearts that beat as one. Bunker claimed the girl by right of discovery and considered this move malice aforethought, and again he went out into the dark to cool, despising girls and dress suits and loathing football stars and patent leather shoes, in fact condemning everything but the right thi ng — the red tie. The lights were out when Bunker reached home except one far down the hall. He stumbled upstairs, striking his feet and murmuring things more expressive than elegant. By the light of a match he discovered that his bed had been taken down and carried away and his room looked like a junk shop. On his table lay a dead cat and beside it a card bearing the compliments of the Sophs. It ' s West said Bunker, furious with anger and pain, at the same time looking about for something with which to slay the hated West. A heavy curtain pole was the only available weapon. Truly not a very chivalric one; however, he took it and went down stairs to await West ' s homecoming. Picture the scene — the dimly lighted hall, the dead silence of midnight disturbed only by the rustling of the leaves — a tall youth crouching in the shadow of the stairway clasping in his hand a long pole, his heart throbbing, his eyes flashing, his feet smarting. Another figure enters — a well muffled person. It is West coming to his death — an awful fate awaiting him, to be crushed with a curtain pole. Wooly still advances and now the wretch raises his sword or rather pole and strikes him several vicious blows before he is aware. Ha ! Ha ! ! Kansas is avenged and the world breathes free! Bunker bends over his fallen victim, to see if more blows are needed and behold ! it is not West at all, but that cross-eyed English Prof. Bunker now has visions of himself wearing the stripes without the stars and dragging a heavy iron ball, and now his thoughts turn to Kansas — he is thinking of home and mother when an impish chuckle breaks up his reverie. Hark! was that the lapping of the Kaw or a devil ' s jeer? History answers, Wooly West. TWILIGHT AND DAWN. The twilight falls on summit and on plain, The mountain melts into the heavenly blue, The slow-dissolving landscape fades from view; And all the sounds of life and action wane. So falls the twilight of life ' s day. The train Of deeds and mem ' ries, mingling old and new, Grows daily faint and indistinct in hue, Till we dissolve and sink to dust again. Rut ah! when bursts the morrow ' s golden dawn, Reformed from out the void of yesternight, Renewed in glory, lo the peak and lawn! Thus, waked To-morrow, shall the deathless soul Arise unfettered in the dawning Light, And press forever onward- toward the Goal. W. M. Vokies. 159 A SONG OF DISCONTENT. Once while mankind contented sang Their strong and simple rustic lay, There rose a discontented man Who sang about a better way. The mingled songs discordant rang, And bitter hate and anger beat About the head of him who sought To put old customs ' neath his feet. But ever yet the strong one sang, Nor sang he long the strain alone, Ere kindred souls in every land Had marked the music for their own. And still the number grew, until The chorus rolled from sea to sea. And old and new together blent In one harmonious melody. And thou, if in thy soul there be A song thy people do not know, Open thy soul unto the world And let th ' imprisoned music flow. Nor heed thou if the mingling notes Shall strike thy ear discordantly. Trust yet thy soul, that in them lie An undeveloped harmony. Fear not that thou wilt be alone. Or that unaided thou wilt stand ; To aid the right with heart and voice Are waiting men in every land. Fear not to risk, for time will tell, And truth is right, what ' er befall, And from what is, there yet shall come A universal good to all. M. C. Hall. 160 THAT VACANT ROOM. Well, girls, I wouldn ' t care nearly so much if Celia had treated me this way all the time. But it just makes me furious to think how she has acted. You know I tried to make her feel at home and to have a good time the first of the year. Then when she got sick and had to go home I was glad I had been nice to her. But now that she ' s back, she thinks she ' s the only one. She has barely spoken to me and snubs me on every possible occasion. She worked a graft some way and got in with those other girls and now — I ' ve noticed how she snubs you every time she gets a chance. I tell you 1 wouldn ' t give her much chance ! Mary exclaimed. I won ' t. Oh, she makes me so angry I — ' ' Oh, Maine — halloo, girls — say, you know that lovely room on first floor you wanted so much? cried Elsie Mabee, bursting into the room. It ' s going to be vacant next week. If you put in your application right away, maybe you can get it. Elsie! You don ' t mean it! Sure? It ' s too good to be true. I never tho ' t there ' d be such luck that I could get it. — Why, I can ' t anyway. You know Martha Egan wants it and a Senior gets first chance. Sophs don ' t have a show against them. You put in your application right away and maybe you will have a show, said the others. Good-bye, I ' m going to see right now, and Mamie put on her cap and ran off. I do hope she will get it. This certainly is an old barn of a room, said Elsie. Yes, Mary answered, but she always makes it look nice. But won ' t she be disappointed if she can ' t have Miss Price ' s room ! To change the subject, girls, I don ' t see how Celia can afford to snub Maine. She ' s so dear and will do anything for a girl, especially if that girl happens to be lonesome. And she has lots of influence among the other girls, too. You ' re right, Honora. Money isn ' t the only thing, even if Celia does think so. Mame has about everything but that. In a few minutes Mamie was back, radiant. You haven ' t gotten it already, have you? the girls cried. No, but no one has applied for it — of course. Miss Martin said she could not give it to any one till it has been vacated — but she accepted my application. Oh! girls, won ' t it be splendid to have that big sunny room? I can forget I ' m poor m a place like that. Oh! I ' m so happy about it. The next day Honora ran down to Mamie ' s room. Say, Mame, I ' m so glad you ' ve applied for that room! Celia wants it and you ' ve a dandy chance to get the best of her. I met her on the stairs a little while ago and she put up such a doleful story about how hard it is for her to climb up and down stairs so much and how she had applied for that room Miss Price is going to leave — she goes to-morrow, you know. But you have first chance and I do hope you ' ll get it. Honest, Honora? Oh, I don ' t want her to want it, because she ought to have it. Oh dear! Well, that ' s just it. The room is yours by rights and you can get even with her. You couldn ' t have a better chance. The next afternoon Mamie went to Miss Martin again and came back to her chum with a long face. 161 Elsie, I don ' t believe I ' ll get it after all. Martha has applied for it and so has Celia. Miss Martin said I had the first application, but she didn ' t know what to do about it. Anyway we must wait till the first of the month. You don ' t know how much I want that room, and it worries me to think that Celia wants it. Don ' t worry about it. Miss Martin certainly will let you have the room. It ' s only justice. By the way, Celia did the meanest thing to me a little while ago. It makes me angry to think about it. I was standing at the head of the stairs next to the banisters when she came up. Instead of going around me — there was nearly the whole width of the stairway for her — she pushed me away and went between me and the banisters. Then after all her meanness she wants that room. — Oh, I wish I didn ' t have such a terrible grudge against her! But I can ' t help it. I wouldn ' t try if I were you. She doesn ' t deserve it. I ' ll tell you what I think. I think she ' s as hateful and spiteful as can be. At the end of the month Miss Martin sent for Mamie. I have good news for you, Mamie, she said. You may have the room Miss Price vacated. You will be glad to get out of the old one, won ' t you? Wouldn ' t I like to, said Mamie to herself. I ' m so glad I may have it. Miss Martin. But L— why, I want to give it up in favor of Celia. She ' s sick and I m not. Will you let her have it? Why, Mamie ! You don ' t mean that you ' re going to keep the old room instead of taking that one down stairs, especially since Celia has a very pleasant room. There isn ' t any reason why you should. ( )h, yes, there are lots of reasons and I made up my mind some days ago, Miss Martin. Really, I mean it. I don ' t mind the stairs. Very well, I shall allow Celia to take the room. Her words were formal but she kissed the girl. The girls were all in the hall when Mamie came up the stairs, smiling. Did you get it, Mame? She shook her head and said, No, Celia is to have the room. I really think she ought to have it, and — It ' s mean that you can ' t have it — You ought to have it — That ' s hor- rid — It ' s a perfect shame, they exclaimed. It doesn ' t matter, Mamie snid and then went on to her room alone. Then she cried. TWILIGHT. Night ' s shadows steal the brightness from the day. And o ' er the west the evening zephyr blows The clouds still fringed with sapphire and with rose; Low sings the bird a lulling vesper lay. And flieth to his covert nest away. The dreaming dew-drops fall on flowers that close, And dewy, dusky, all the garden grows. ) beauty ' s hour, fair fragrant close of day ! Half light, half shade; a subtler power, A deeper mystery, and a lonelier rest Is thine than b r eathes in any other hour. Sweet hour, when earth by heaven seems most blest. Thy charm, thy spell ' s time ' s purest dower And bringest thoughts and mem ' ries holiest. Eleanor S. Warner. 162 THE CAMEL AND THE MATHMAN. (Due Apologies to Lewis Carroll.) qtg The sun was shining on the scene, Shining with all his might, He did his very best to get The picture took just right, And give to all who view this page A vision of delight. The Camel and the Mathman once Went walking, as we read ; They wept like anything to see Such woeful lack of shpeed. If we could set the pace, said they, It would be swift, indeed! ( ) Shtudents, come and walk with us — The Mathman did entreat, A little test, a little flunk. Is surely quite a treat ; Each year we find a few who wish Such pleasure to repeat ! The wary Senior looked at him, But never a word he said. The sad-faced Junior winked his eye. The Sophie shook his head — : Meaning to say, they did not choose To take that walk so dread. But all the Freshmen hurried up. Quite eager for the run. Their books were new, their pencils sharp, 161 Their hearts so light for fun ! And that was odd, because, you see, They should have weighed a ton. The Camel and the Mathman now Walked on a week or so, And then they rested on a desk Conveniently low, And all the little Freshies sat And waited, in a row. The time has come, the Mathman said, To talk of many things : Quadratics, Series infinite ; And roots and factorings And where the nth. term keeps itself, And whether ' logs ' have wings. But wait a bit ! the Freshman cried, Before you start such trains, For some of us are very slow, And none have mammoth brains — . No hurry, said the Camel kind — They thanked him for his pains. A blackboard smooth, the Mathman said, Is what we chiefly need, Chalk and erasers, too, I find, Are very good indeed, — Now if you ' re ready. Freshman dear, We ' ll try to get more shpeed! But where ' s our fun? the Freshies cried, Feeling a little blue ; After such kindness, this is sure A dismal thing to do! The Mathman uttered nothing but — . This afternoon at two ! It ' s rather mean, the Camel said, To play them such a trick, After we ' ve brought them on so far And piled their work so thick. — The Mathman only smiled. Fach year We make this walk more quick ! Well, Freshies, said the Mathman then, You ' ve had a pleasant run, — Shall we stroll on to Higher Math.? But ansv er came there none : And that was scarcely odd, because They ' d flunked out, every one ! 163 FRESHMAN PRIMER. Good Medicine. This is an English C Class.

The Freshman Girl. This Charming Creature is a Freshman Girl. She has come to College to take High Honors and to have a Good Time. She will Dance, Skate, Play Tennis, Break Hearts and the Ten O ' Clock Rule. Beside her, the Juniors and Seniors look like Has-Beens.

Then, after leading Chapel, he will Play Tennis for two hours. The Dean is known as a Versatile Genius. The Book Store Man. This is the Book Store Man. He is Ragged and Cold and Hungry. He is Very, Very Poor. He will sell Books to Unwary Students and get Very, very Rich. The Faculty lets him make 15 + % on Every Book. The Book Store is a Natural Monopoly.

The Coach is Lecturing on the effects of Sugar on Second Wind. He will go to call at Ticknor with his Wife. Some men will go to a Fudge Party and the Rest will have a Spread. To-morrow, when Eleven or Seventeen Men cut Practice, they will say the Tiger Spirit is Dead and no man can play Football and carry Thirfcy-three hours of work per week. They are known as Tigers, which is a Misnomer, for Boulder will come next week and tie Thirty- six Knots in the Tiger ' s Tail.

Why yes. Yon know I ' ve had all kinds of or- ganic and inorganic chem. That ' s my long suit. Then I ' m at the head of the physiology class too. I like phys. mighty well. It ' s lots of fnn to use that little sticker to get blood. You ought to have seen me yesterday — I cut three gashes in my arm with a razor just for fun. — Don ' t it shock me? O no, I ' m not easily shocked. — Hurt? O, the race I come from don ' t mind being hurt. You know my great-grandfather was Admiral C — r and I ' ve had all kinds of great ancestors. I think they are pretty nice, don ' t you ? The thought of them makes one so much better — sort of sets an example. Now A- — , for instance,— -Don ' t you know who A — is? — Well, I prefer to call him A — , well, John A — was one of his ances- tors. — John A — ? — Why, he married Priscill a. Longfellow wrote about it in the Courtship of Miles Standish. That ' s such a nice poem, — so true to life. — O yes, I ' ve got plenty of time to talk. A — and I went out to Prospect Lake yesterday and got a lot of protozoa. We worked in the biology lab. identifying microbes and things until half-past five. — What kind of microbes? O, don ' t be funny. Why A — is just as proper as I am. — No, of course the dean don ' t always know what I ' m doing, but then, I don ' t either. As I was saying we worked until five-thirty. I guess we ' d have been working yet, but that beastly janitor had to butt in and run us out. Those janitors are so apt to come in when not wanted. — The matter with the janitors? O, that ' s a secret. But they ' re out of place in such a building. It ' s fine. The labs, are so quiet and convenient. Why, I just live in the biology and chem. labs. And A — , — O, don ' t say such things. You might give me heart trouble. I ' ve got the funniest heart. Sometimes it beats a hundred and twenty and then almost stops, — O, that reaction. Why I ' ve forgotten ; it ' s been so long since I had that elementary chem. But that thing belongs to the aromatic or methane series or something. What did I think of the play last night? Well, it was pretty good, but then I ' ve seen so many that I don ' t care much about them any more. I ' ve only missed one this winter and then I was sick in bed. I had three invitations for last night. Did I go with Charlie? No, he ' s gone, you know. He sent me the loveliest box of roses the other day. What was I talking about ? let me see. Oh yes. I had had three invitations and then I had to go with that Mr. — . He asks me to go to everything that comes along and I ' ve turned him down till I ' m ashamed to look at him, so I just had to go with him last night ; and I did want to go with Mr. — ; I think he ' s too horribly cute for anything, don ' t you? I ' m going to the dance with him next week. I ' m so glad he asked me first ; the very next day Mr. - — asked me ; I don ' t like him a bit, but he always asks me ; isn ' t it perfectly killing? About the play? Oh, pooh! it wasn ' t much good; anyway I didn ' t notice much. There were lots of college people there, though. Mr, — and Miss 175 12 — sat right behin d us. I don ' t see what he finds to like about her, do you? She ' s so coarse, don ' t you think so? But he ' s terribly cute. He makes me think of a Golden fellow, Mr. — . Oh, you know him, too? Well I saw him just the other day. He was going through and only stopped here for an hour, but he came up to the house for a few minutes. He brought me the loveliest box of candy. I ' ll tell you when I hear from him. The name of the play? Oh, I ' ve forgotten that. Would you kindly tell me what you are going to do when you get out of college ? Well, it seems to me like college courses ought to be elective. I do not believe that it is fair to make one take many things that they do not like. That is the reason I am a Special. I expect to go to Leland Stanford next year. They do not have no required work there. It seems to me like that is the best system. Mr. Bryce says — Yes, I know, but won ' t you tell me what you are going to do when you get out of college? Leland Stanford has turned out a great many famous men, and I think most of them are scientists, at least Dr. Jordan said — Then you are going to be a scientist ? Oh, was that what you wanted to know ? Well, it seems to me like every one ought to know what they are going to be. Your college course does not pro- duce much benefit unless one knows that definitely. And what branch of science do you intend to take up ? Oh, I am not going to study science. It seems to me like law is the best profession. I do not know just what branch of law I will study ; that is, I have a sort of a confused idea, but I can ' t express it exactly. How do you do, Miss — . You would like a five minutes interview with me to publish in the Annual? Well, Yes, I ' d just as soon. Do you expect to do this ' annually ' ? Well, no, I guess you ' ll be so ' Board ' by the time you ' ve finished with me that you won ' t try any more. Unless you try Ethel ' Moore. ' But she isn ' t here ' Annie Moore, ' is she? You ' ve heard that I make puns? Oh, no, that is a mistake, I only make ' chokes ' , now and then. Enough to ' choke ' me you say? No, I expect to die a natural death, I ' ll be hanged if I don ' t. You suggest that I mustn ' t use such violent language. Oh, I don ' t, except in a professional way, you know. Well, to be serious, I ' ll tell you. I ' m fond of music and poetry. I ' ve tried my hand at poetry a little, and I have hopes that in the future I shall be able to develop some ability. But you say, Dr. Lancaster says that the poet is a case of arrested development. That ' s a mistake. I ' ve never been ' arrested ' yet. Ha! Ha! That ' s one of my ' chokes ' . Aber, never mind, mein lieber Freund, I won ' t thue das wieder again soon, is it. You ' re entirely welcome, I ' m sure. Only too glad to do you this little service — serve us right if we don ' t give people the right impression of us, isn ' t it. 176 Oh, yes, indeed, I love to take tramps. It ' s great sport. I ' ve enjoyed the Geology trips so much this year. And one learns so much. Why, I can hardly take notes on all the points, the professor gives us so many. — Is he a good pro- fessor? — Well, I should say he is. Perfectly splendid. He has done such an enormous amount of work for so young a man. I think the course is terribly stiff, but the professor is so patient with me. I think I impose on him, asking so many stupid questions, but he is so kind. Anyway, I think Geology is great sport. Yes, indeed, I love to wear light dresses. The climate is so mild here that the girls can wear light dresses almost all year. Don ' t you think so? Yes, I ' ve been here seven years. When I came I intended to stay only one ear, but I liked it so well, that I ' ve come back every year. It ' s perfectly lovely here, don ' t you think so? Professor Urdahl? Oh, I think he ' s perfectly splendid. I ' ve taken eight courses under him. I think it ' s great sport. Are they hard? Oh, I don ' t think so. Political Science and Charity and Crimes are perfect snaps. Oh, I ' m sorry you must go. I ' m glad you asked me these things. It ' s been great sport to tell you. You would like to know something of my history? — Well, I ' m rather modest about saying anything about myself, but if you would like I might say a few words. I ' ve always had rather a quiet way about me in College, but I ' ve done my work without saying much about it. I flatter myself, too, that I am not con- ceited,— haven ' t the big head, as most fellows would if they had had the honors I ' ve had. Just to show you, here is a letter addressed to me, President of the Oratorical Association, — here is another ; Ex- President of the Apollonian Club, — another, President of the Philadelphian Club. I rather guess I ' m it, but I don ' t say much about it. I rather think I ' m popular with the ladies, too, if I wished to pay much at- tention to them. I think it ' s a great favor to a girl if I pay her any attention. 1 don ' t do it often, for the girl ' s sake. Girls are so apt to get conceited and if there ' s anything I hate it ' s a person with the big head. You ' ve heard my father is a member of the House of Representatives? Yes. I ' ve always been told brains ran in our family. You have to leave now ; this was to be only a five minute interview ? Oh, you ' re quite welcome to these little facts. I usually do not like to have anything published about myself, but if 1 can do you such a favor, I don ' t mind. 177 THE CO-ED. The college is proud of its quarter-back And the man who twirls the sphere, Proud of the wearers of gold and black And of Alma Mater dear. But dearer yet to the college man, When all of this is said, Is the little woman who only can Be known as the fair co-ed. The quarter-back signals the place to hit And the play goes through the line ; The catcher fingers his leather mitt And the pitcher takes the sign. But the fair co-ed, with a glance of the eye, Holds the football team in check, And pitcher and catcher and quarter hie In haste at her nod and beck. The orators and debaters boast, At best, of a moment ' s cheer, But their words are lost like winter ' s frost When the columbines appear. But the fair co-ed one always heeds, She brooks no man ' s reply And all the rebuttal she ever needs Is the glance of a sparkling eye. THE MAID AND THE PHONOGRAPH. OB The Phonograph can talk all day, — But college girls exceed it. The Phonograph must have some help, — The fair co-eds don ' t need it. The Phonograph sometimes runs down, — The C. C. maiden, never. For Phonographs will talk and stop, — But she goes on forever. 178 The Following Poems are Being Revised and Will Soon be Ready for the Press. j Poem. Author.

Reed To Very Young Lady Sedley Irene Thomas The Silent Woman Jonson Lotta Meacham The Annual Board Scooping Up Material 180 MIGHTY MIXINV At a recent faculty meeting, President Slocum was astonished when met by a complaint from various members of the faculty that they were tired of the branches of learning which they were trying to implant in the vacant brain space of their disciples and that they desired a change of program. The President was s-somewhat p-puzzled for aw-while, but s-s-suddenly he was il-luminated by a b-brilliant idea which he p-p-proceeded to p-p-put into pr-practice. Why not occasionally allow the various professors to change classes? This would afford them the opportunity of resurrecting some of their submerged learning and would deprive the students of their usual knowledge as to what the next question was to be. We cite a few of the results. Professor Parsons assumes the duties of the chair of Greek : Class strolls in and listens to the roll-call. Prof, (with an unaccustomed smile) : You see I ' m a little rusty in this subject and I haven ' t had time to read the text-book, — it is always my custom to read the text-book when the class does. As I haven ' t had time to read the text-book over I ' ll ask a few questions in general. Well, now then, Miss K., we come to the ancestry of Achilles. This Homeric geneology is a most interesting study ; in fact, we could with profit spend a month on this alone. Will you trace the descent of the line, Miss K. ? Miss K. recites falteringly. Prof. P. : The great grandfather ' s name again, please. I wish you to be quite exact on this point.— The date of the war seems to be a little hazy in the minds of some members of the class. Well, now then, Miss H., can you locate that event? Miss H. (triumphantly) : It began in 1194 B. C. and closed in the fall of 1 184. Prof. P. : Yes, to be a little more exact, I might amend your statement by substituting- the month November for the general term fall. Now, this is a good illustration for the rest of the class. Really, there are a few points we must fix permanently and definitely in mind. In a book where so few dates are given there is absolutely no excuse for not learning every one accurately. This carelessness is to be deplored, etc., etc. Professor Cajori takes French C. Miss M., will you read first? — You can ' t read it? — Well (commiserat- ingly), you don ' t need to know it this year, but you ' ll know it next! (To class:) Miss M. is what you might call a visitor. Miss B., will you please read the French. Miss B. : Quel — homme — au- — moins — repondez — moi — Je — ne — vous — parle — Prof. C. : Miss, B., if you can ' t read French any faster than that you must have to spend all your time getting your French lessons. If you were in ' m-thmatics ' you would have to work a little faster. You have so much else to do ? Well, we ' re all busy. That ' s what we are here for. Learn to work under stress. Miss S., will you go on with the translation. Miss S. translates slowly and with great difficulty. Prof C. : Miss S., did you spend two hours on this lesson? Miss S. (timidly) : Why,- — I put one hour on it this morning, and they say one hour in the morning is worth two at night. 181 Prof. C. : Ha! Ha! I ' ll give you ten for that answer. Professor Noyes tries his hand at Mathematics A. Good-morning, good-morning, Miss Allen, good-morning, Miss — . Miss J., will you kindly put the seventeenth from yesterday ' s review on the board? Thank you ! Now, Miss L., suppose we take the figure 7, straighten the stem, cut off the line at the upper left hand corner, tack it on at the lower right hand corner and give it an appropriate curve, what digit shall we create? Miss L. (gasping): I don ' t know! Prof. N. : No? — it ' s really very simple, 6, to be sure! This study of the analogies existing between certain objects apparently distinct is most instructive. Now, I ' m going to ask just a few questions in mathematics in general. If Chaucer was born in 1340 and died in 1400 how old was he when he wrote the Canterbury Tales, provided that he had been married twenty years? — I ' ll give you each a sheet of paper and five minutes in which to solve the question. You may hand in your answer at the end of the hour. Question 2. If I give twenty-five questions in an hour examination, each re- quiring five minutes to answer, and you miss one out of every three, how near will you come to flunking the course? Question 3. If Spenser visited the Continent six times and spent four years in England, calculate by Horner ' s method and logarithms the positive and negative roots of his family tree. Bell rings. Now, I ' ll just give you a few references for to-morrow. In the Algebra, look up Chapter VI, take pages 203, 204, 205, then you might take a short review of Sturm ' s Theorem, — and look up the various methods of solving Quadratics, and study up the law of signs, and just make a few graphs of the tangent, sine and cosine curves. That will do. JUNIOR CLASS MEETING. The Juniors slowly and reluctantly gather in Room 13, Perkins Hall. The President calls the meeting to order. President: I believe this meeting has been called for the purpose of electing a repre- sentative of the class on the board for arranging the oratorical contest given by the Prohibition League. Are there any nominations? After the silence has grown oppressive, Mr. Peyes rises. Mr. Peyes: Mr-r-r — Miss Chair m— President. 1 rise to nominate one who for three years has upheld the class honor in every way. His character is such as to elicit the highest praise from the Faculty and students. In fact one member told me he felt it an honor to be on a committee with a man so mentally, morally and physically endowed. I nominate Mr. Bester Lale. A contented silence rests on the assemblage. President: ' Are there any other nominations? Mr. Walsey: I move the nominations be closed. Pause. President: Is there a second to the motion? Pause. Mr. Grainsack, Miss Paynes, Mr. Knowlpound, in chorus: I second the motion. Pause. Mr. Lale (lazily): Question. President: All those in favor of Mr. — All those in favor of the motion as stated, signify by saying ' aye! Motion carried. With much effort, the Secretary is instructed to cast a unanimous vote for Mr. Lale. President (suggestively): A motion to adjourn is in order. Mr. Willem makes the motion to adjourn. President: Is there a second? Motion reluctantly seconded and carried. Juniors slowly disperse. The President is escorted home with symptoms of nervous prostration. 182 THE POET. He ' s a poet. You would know it By his air, Every feature Of the creature. And his hair, Paderewski like, is flying Everywhere. Do you suppose he knows. As aimlessly he goes Down the street, That he wears a congress shoe And a laced one, far from new, On his feet? See his eyes, a faded blue And his skin a sickly hue, And he looks as though he needed Liver pills. All his capital is brains And so few his skull contains That he never — hardly ever — Pays his bills. THE PLAINTIVE BALLAD OF TEE There was a young S ' ophy named ' Tee Who was bashful as mortal could be, And his heart was like stone, For altho ' girls might groan. No smile was vouchsafed them by Tee. Now Moses and Debbie, you see, Had a crush on adorable Tee, And they thought, O, what joy To entrap this dear boy, In bonds which he never might flee ! But their smiles were all wasted on Tee. He would have nothing of them, not he. O, leave me in peace. Or Ell call the police, Was the only remark made by Tee. 183 BALLAD OF THE UNPOPS. Air: forsaken. I We roam round the campus, but we roam all alone, We outwardly smile, but we inwardly groan. We watch, with great scorn, the girls and their beaus. And disdainfully cut them as if our worst foes. Chorus. Forgotten, forgotten, forgotten are we. In the midst of all joy and festivity. Our charms are unheeded, our smiles are unsought And all our sweet glances count only for naught II. When we go to the Lib. we sit all forlorn, And our unpopularity can scarcely be borne. The coping is crowded, but we are not there, So each passes by with her nose in the air. — Chorus. III. Our desperate condition we sadly deplore, For any small favors we now do implore, We can dance, we can sing, be witty and gay, B ut from the grand Pearsons ' function, we all stayed away. — Chorus. What do I think, love, when you are away ? What is the lay my heart sings all the day? Live for you, die for you, Grieve for you, sigh for you, So the days pass. How would I sing, love, were you again near ? How would it change, dear, the melody clear? Mock at you, pout at you, Smile at you, flout at you, So the days pass. Ethel Harritigton. 184 LOCAL TAXONOMY. PROFOZOA (Gr. j p ro =professor; Ztf ?«=animal). These comparatively unimportant organisms are quite common in this region. They are well classified in Slocum ' s Catalogue. To the naked eye these forms exhibit no striking characteristics, but under the high power they are found to show almost human intelligence. Some are saprophytic, living on dead languages, etc. PORIFERA. This branch comprises the many forms of sponges. These have a highly developed sense of touch and are usually parasitic, absorbing the time, money, lessons, etc. of their hosts. COELENTERATA. The only class of coelenterates found hereabouts are the scypho- zoa or jelly-fish. They are characterized by their lack of consistency or firmness. PLATYHELM1NTHES. These are represented by the cestoda or tape-worm. Like the other worms this is a simple type always found dragging a long shining tape behind it or coiled about it. It is found on level stretches and usually in transit toward all points of the compass. It was discovered by Cajori. MOLLUSCOIDA. The bryozoa or moss-animal is of rare occurrence around here, but specimens are occasionally found. They are often taken for fossils and are commonly called moss-backs from the fact that they seldom move and hence become covered with moss. ECH1NODERMATA. Of these, the asteroidea or star-fish are in a class by themselves. There are only a few specimens and they are widely scattered about the Campus. These in- dividuals have a characteristic brightness, the color varying from the pale aspect of the Birch- bycus to the deep red of Baleogna. The latter is common in hay infusions. An entirely harm- less, tho ' sometimes disturbing class, of this Phylum, are the Hallothuroidea. They bear curious, curling tentacles on the anterior extremity, which is also greatly swollen. ANNULATA. (Lat. Annuttes.=a.nn icL ). The earth-worm is as common as humanity. Of the chaetopoda, the common annulate is found principally in fresh water and occasionally in hot-water. Specimens have been seen to turn and this has been noted as a characteristic. It is especially true, however, of the rotifers, to which some annulates, especially the Annnalis Bordus, bear a superficial resemblance in that they are always in a state of violent agitation over cuts and other accidents. The Annualis Bordus is a lowly form composed of eleven seg- ments of which the eighth and ninth are purely ornamental, the essential, working parts being in the other segments. Hirudinea, the too-common leech, is capable of close attachment and offers a most absorbing study. Such studies are very rare and interesting. Specimens may be easily ob- served as they will stand a great deal of rough handling and are not easily shaken. ARTHROPODA. A common crustacean is the lobster. This animal is green but when in hot water it turns red. It is very awkward and of a low order of intelligence. Among the insecta we have the butterfly, moth and bee. Of the workers of the last class there are two species, the Hasbeenit which works on the profozoa and the Beejiggerdiff which works on books, etc. The former are parasites, the latter saprophytes. The gay-colored lady-bi rd is found on the campus and other places. It may be studied with the naked eye although this method is not very delicate. Many prefer opera glasses to study it with. The gall-insect is an annoying pest which is found everywhere. MOLLUSCA. Of the pelecypoda the clam is noted for its ability to shut up. There are only a few male specimens and no female specimens have ever been found. CHORDATA. Tunicata. See squirts. Bisces. There are all kinds of fish. It is said that there are better fish in C. C. than have yet been caught. They are not protected by the game laws as they are not usually recognized as game. They are often victims of scaly transactions and may bear tails. One of these is the skate: the one commonly designated as the cheap-skate or dead-head has an interesting abnor- 185 mal nerve development. Skates should be mounted on slides (or study. The pipe-fish, Academicus, is so named from the curious mouth appendage found in the very young speci- mens. Anglers are a common fish found in the spring and also in the vicinity of Colorado streams. Suckers are by no means rare and are often well done. They have a large mouth and are very slow. Sharks are found scattered about the campus. They have an enormous digestive capacity and live on the profozoa whom they attack when the latter are unprepared. They are seldom found in deep water. The smelt is found everywhere in the chemistry laboratories and some specimens are preserved in formalin in the biology department. Aves. There are many kinds of birds. Sophmorus communalis is a common bird-of- prey. They are known, too, as birds-of-Paradise. . communalis is a noted singer. It is a gregarious form and the individuals assemble regularly in their favorite haunts. Of the owls, Nyctea nocturnis, better known as the night-owl or boiled-owl is a strictly nocturnal variety. It is characterized by a large swelled head, red eyes and a thick tongue. The eyes are very keen in order that it may see snakes. The gait is very unsteady. TV. Minerval is a rare form, diurnal in habit. Unlike the common specimens of owl, it will not eat mice. Parrots are often confused with the sharks to which they bear a superficial resemblance. Meadow larks are very common as are mountain larks and other larks. Larks may occur in any part of the campus and at any time of day or night. Sometimes a gull is found with sky- larks and is usually made a subject of persecution. Specimens of the profozoa are sometimes found on larks. A few fly-catchers are found in the fields in spring and summer. They are most common on the Athletic field where they eat up flies with great skill and avidity. Geese are found here as elsewhere. Roast geese maybe found in any Junior Annual. Doves maybe seen cooing and billing with their mates every fall and spring on the coping. During the winter they nest under the roof of the library and the laboratories. Among the ostriches the Shawcan is especially noted for its voracious appetite and indiscriminate selection of food. MAMMALIA. The horse is not native to this vicinity but was brought here by the Greeks and Romans. It is useful as a beast of burden and is famed for its speed. The variety found here is a small one known as a pony. Equno vulgaris, the common trot, is seldom seen by visitors. They are often attacked by the profozoa but have not been eradicated. There are two kinds of goats, the Pearsonia being a wild, aggressive beast owned by a college clan which uses it in certain nocturnal revels. The Buttinski variety is noted for its wandering life, it being found in everything on the campus unless special precautions are taken to keep it out. It is a very stupid beast. The earlier tiger form of the college fields is extinct now, but enormous fossil vertebrae have been found. The natives have many traditions about it and some claim that its spirit is occasionally, though rarely, seen. The present type has black and yellow stripes like its for- bear, but the earlier form had more black. The two animals were much the same size and had long, tawny hair. The straight tail of the earlier type has given way to a twisted tail in the later type owing to changed surroundings. There are no bolder animals than the tiger, but it often misses its golden opportunities and does not seem to be adapted to life in an agricultural community. The deer is often found on the grass about the campus. Bucks are very fierce and when aroused by certain signals will often go end over end for yards. Stags are often found among the deer, although they usually avoid them. The true hare is found quite commonly about the campus on the scalps of other animals. Among the profozoa, the form known as Prexybus is immune. The hare also occurs on the faces and on the outer coverings of the arms and shoulders of the profozoa and other animals. The false hair is sometimes seen at critical times on the faces of the female deer, though never on their scalps. 186 SONG OF THE JILTED CHEMIST.

Scene: Room in McGregor. Time: 7 P. M. Enter Marian. Well as long as I ' ve cut prayers I suppose I ' d better get to work. Guess I ' ll put up an ' Engaged ' sign, and then nobody will disturb me. That ' s one thing, people don ' t very often knock over my signs. (Puts up ' Positively En- gaged ' on door.) Well, let ' s see, where shall I begin? Three chapters in Psychy. ' Prometheus Unbound, ' a hundred pages of history to read and ' Much Ado About Nothing. ' Guess I ' d better go to bed first and get that out of the way. (Settles down at desk and cuts leaves of Psychology for a few minutes.) There ' the sensational elements of colorless light are. ' — What in the wild and merry sizzle does that mean? — I ' m so thirsty, I must get a drink. Now, that just proves that I am a genius. Dr. Lanky says he always wants to get a drink as soon as he starts in to work. (Exit.) (Re-enters and starts again.) Oh, yes, as I was saying, ' The sensational elements of — ' (Voice outside the door: Oh, bother, she ' s engaged. ) Marian (sits resolved a minute, then calls frantically:) Come in! Girl enters. Oh, it ' s nothing particular. What are you doing? Marian. Oh, I ' m just getting in a little work, but it doesn ' t make any special difference. Girl (dropping into a chair). Well, I mustn ' t stop. I ' ve got to go home and do French. I haven ' t done a bit for a week. Marian. Oh, don ' t go, there are lots of things I want to ask you. Let me see — Girl. No, I must go. I just stopped to show you there was no hard feeling. Oh, are you going to the dance Saturday night? (They talk on various subjects until girl finally tears herself away.) Marian settles to work again. ' The sensational elements of colorless light. ' — How much of this stuff is there, anyway? (Counts pages.) Fifty pages! Abom- inable! and it ' s a quarter past eight now. Suppose I really ought to read those his- tory books I took out of the library for to-night. It seems too bad for nobody to read them. Oh, I ' m bored nearly to extinction. Vofce outside. Oh, say, Marian, are you awfully busy? Marian scowls, but calls enthusiastically, Come in, honey! 2nd Girl enters with pitcher of cream in her hand. Why, what are you doing? This is the second time this week I ' ve caught you studying! Marian. Well, I know 1 am developing into a regular greasy grind, but wait until you get to be a Junior, you innocent young thing. I ' ve been working on this beastly Psych all the evening and I can ' t get a word of sense out of it. Why, it ' s the limit. 2nd Girl. Poor child, it ' s awful. Now listen. Here ' s this cream. Somebody had a spread and it was left over. It seems wicked not to use it, but everybody ' s so busy I can ' t find a soul to make fudge. I ' m simply desperate myself with the work piled up. but then I can ' t let a chance like this go to waste. We ' ve got every- thing. Anne had butter. Fan had chocolate, and I got the sugar from Kate. So if you ' ll bring your chafing dish and rake up some alcohol, we ' ll be all right. Marian. Oh, my dear, I can ' t think of it. I ' ve got loads to do. I ' ve flunked so much, I don ' t dare risk it again. Don ' t tease me, for I ' m simply pin- ing for some fudge. 2nd Girl. Oh, yes, let it go. Why, you can think of some way out of it. I never knew your resources to fail before. Marian (meditating). Well, I could almost bluff on the Psychy I haven ' t done and I may get called on for what I ' ve read. Then I could get up in the morning and do my history reading. I ' ve only a hundred pages to do. Let ' s see — ' Much Ado About Nothing, ' I can easily read that in Psych. And Shelley, oh well, I shall know just as much about it if I don ' t look at it. Anyhow, I ' ve been studying all the evening and I ' m too tired to do any good work, now. All right. Belle, I ' m with you. (Virtuously to herself.) It ' s such a comfort to know you ' ve done your best anyway! (Exit.) 19G c A L APRIL, J 903. i. The Annual Board holds it first meeting — next day it snowed. 2.

When we ve written our very last story, And cracked our very last jest, When the Annual Board has wiped its pen And taken a needed rest, — When we ' ve joked the greenest Freshman And jollied the latest Prof., — When we ' ve handed back our latest proof And know that the stuff ' s all off, - When the last subscriber has paid his bill And laughed at our little jokes, — We know some people will have to kick On the poor old Annual folks. And some will say that with such a board It ' s not what they expect, And otJicrs will say ' twould have been all right If others had been elect. But the Annual Board will only smile Because they have worked like sin, And if there were better folks outside We ' re sorry that they weren ' t in. For we know we have flunked full many a time And the Prof. ' s have often roared Because we spent our days and nights On the work of the Annual Board. Not once have we tried to cater To the whim of the Powers That Be; From fear of none have we o ' erlooked The things which all may see. We have praised the virtue of many And shown the vice of friend, And written the truth as we see it From frontispiece to end. Save where we have written falsehood, — And that we have labeled plain, And only the foolish will miss it, The foolish and very vain; Don ' t think that our work ' s a circus, (Save Churchill, perhaps, or Lamb,) But none of us wrote at a roll-top desk Inspired by a bot. of chain. But we wasted our cash on pencils And ink and writing pads, And strove at night by kerosene light For an interest in Cads. When our jokes are all forgotten By those who now are sore, We ' ll still recall, who got them out, In the spring of nineteen four. 208 GENTEEL VAUDEVILLE j Phenomenal Pun of Years in Colo- rado Springs STAR CAST With Specialties of Every Description ' oco o ol .
