We sing our Alma Mater ' s high renown: Chorus — Rah ! Rail ! Rah ! and a Tiger three times three ! Colorado College, thee we praise. Thy daughters glady hail thee, Thy sons will never fail thee, Fairest college of them all, thy sting we raise. We stand fast together, Tn every kind of weather, And wave aloft our colors, black and gold; Whatever may lief all us, We ' ll come whene ' er you call us, And fight for thee with spirit never old. — Cho. (slower.) The bright years are fleeting, The world sends its greeting, And soon from thy protecting care we ' ll go ; But ' mid toil there and sorrow, We ' ll brighten each tomorrow With mem ' ries of those days of long- ago. — Cho. 10 (fo uojgfi gtt g fiMjuet 2fcl= iS P Fl 3 S Whera, fihcs Peo costs IB   In r r t Col -  ' - ' rn - ta 5 10,30 v J J J J i b H R 1 J j f ■ 3= fct r f r 3 b j j j j. i deep qncl me qy r r r blu - esf J J L ■ cVoiti 1he ie m E r r v j SKI ei Ihqr ore i SE r= P j j j j 5 J J J.

We have felt that the Nugget should hold more than a passing interest for its readers and have held to the object of making it of value to everyone who feels for the life of our college. We have believed that it should keep to a high standard, both literary and artistic and have bent all our efforts toward making it worthy of the class and of the College it represents. How nearly we have come to attaining this end we leave to the final judgment of ' our readers. The 1906 Nugget Board. Colorado Springs, May 1st, 1905. J 3 DNTRIBUTDR5 WMK The Nxigget Board Willet R.

Jupiter — King of the gods. Apollo — Who deals doleful messages, smiling the while. Neptune — The raiser of storms. Mercury — The shpeecly god. Mars — Marshall of the day. Vulcan — Backsmith of the gods. Pluto — Whose sulphur fumes sometimes penetrate to the upper world. Deucalion — For whom rocks have living interest. Aeolus — God of the wind hags. Ganymede — Cup-bearer. A little Trojan. Aescltlapius — Who prescribes the laws of sanitation. Cronus — The star actor. Prometheus — Benefactor of men. Pan — Who walks the woods and mountains and looks to neither right nor left, hut straight ahead. Bacchus — The mirthful god, who teaches the arts of civilization. Narcissus — Who is never satisfied with his echo. Charon — Whom you pay for passage on the river of sighs. Orphelts — Who sometimes consents to help mortals sing. Juno — Who equal glory shares with Jupiter. Diana — Zealous protectress, despising weakness of love. Thalia — Known as the goddess. Euphrosyne — Of comelv carriage and gracious gifts of mind. 20 {Splendid banqueting hall brilliantly lighted and richly furnished. Long table in center, gorgeously decked. ) Enter Mars and Ganymede. MARS — Not at all, not at all! They will all take their seats in the order in which they enter. GAN. — Very well, and will they all take wine? MARS — No, give them only ginger champagne. Bacchus would prefer heer, but Apollo can take care of him. He has charge of the individual courses. GAN. {somewhat flustered) — But, my dear Mars, wouldn ' t that cost extra? you know the — MARS— How ' s that? GAN. — Well, of course ,as you know, my friend Dr. Schliemann— Enter Diana. DIANA — Good evening, Mr. Mars. {Botvs to Ganymede.) Mars bows himself out. DIANA — How beautifully everything is arranged. GAN. — Such a splendid idea of yours, Miss Diana, to have the gods on the left side and the goddesses on the right. DIANA — After due consideration I have decided that it will be quite proper for this one evening to have them sit together, for you see, I shall be here, and I am sure Mr. Jupiter will agree with me. Enter Orpheus somezvhat preoccupied. Suddenly sees Diana and Ganymede. ORPHEUS — Yes. Is everything ready? GAN. — 1 had thought, Orpheus, that it would be a good plan for you to sit here. ORPHEUS — Yes. Shall 1 begin? Yes, this is a characteristic commence- ment. ( Sits at organ and flays the stirring strains of the march. Not Much. It Was — the Gods. ) Gods march in. led by Mars, and lake their places around the table. JUPITER — N-now, one and all, make a noyful joise. (General hum of conversation.) APOLEO — Miss Diana, did 1 ask you my last conundrum? I really think it ' s pretty clever. DIANA (leaning her elbows on the table) — Do let us hear it. APOLLO — With due apologies to Jupiter, why is he like yeast? NEPTUNE — Now isn ' t that like Apollo ' s modesty, to palm off one of my conundrums as his own ? MARS — Not at all. Give us the answer yourself, then, Neptune. NEPTUNE — You had better keep still, old man. I have some good ones on you. JUNO — What is the answer, Apollo? APOLLO — Why is Jupiter like yeast? Because it takes him to raise dough. MARS — Heard that seven years ago. Enter Aeolus, very much in his clement. PROMETHEUS — Ganymede, can ' t you shut off the register? There ' s too much hot air. (Aeolus subsides. ) 2T EUPHROSYNE — I received a message from Minerva telling me how she is enjoying herself among the orange blossoms. THALIA — I never knew her well, but I ' ve heard her beauty is almost equal to that of Venus. PAN (sighing) — Where is Venus today? BACCHUS {aside to Pan) — Miss Diana objected to having Cupid around, and all that sort of thing, so Mother Venus stayed away. NEPTUNE — Have you noticed how much Mars ' thoughts have been taken ii]) with Europa this last year? DIANA (hears only last part of speech) — Are you contemplating another trip, Mr. Mars? MARS (after embarrassing silence) — Not at all, not at all. ( Cnmus sleeps. ) (At other end of table.) AESCULAPIUS (aside to Deucalion) — By the way, Deucalion, I wish you ' d return that diamond stud you borrowed for that banquet. I wanted to wear it tonight. Say, that ' s a fine tie you are wearing. DEUCALION— That ' s one I borrowed from Pan. PAN — Pardon me! Did you speak to me? DEUC. — No, I was speaking of something belonging to you. PAN — Pardon me ! BACCHUS — Not one of his affections. 1 hope? DEUC— No, of his tie. BACCHUS — I see nothing remarkable about that tie he has on — AESCULAPIUS — Dene ' s speaking about the one he has on. PAN — I hope you are not thinking of returning it, Deuc. ( General laugh. ) BACCHUS — While von are returning borrowed articles you might bring back my dress shirt. MARS (from other end of table) — Yes, and my dress shoes. VULCAN — And my tack hammer. AEOLUS— And my silk hose. THALIA — They ' re treating you shabbily, Mr. Deucalion. I don ' t believe they have left you a thing but your silk hat. AEOLUS — Oh yes, Miss Thalia. There is a picture of a certain couple that no one has claimed yet. (Ominous silence. Deucalion turns red.) AESCULAPIUS — Pluto, the fumes from your place have troubled me a good deal of late. PLUTO (shaking zvith laughter) — Too bad, too bad, but you know they will get loose sometimes. If they get too bad use a clothes-pin on your nose and hang an inhaling tube out of the window. (Diana speaks to Hebe, who rings a gong. All look up startled.) MERCURY — Ten o ' clock! We ' ll continue the discussion tomorrow. It ' s shpeed Miss Diana wants now, it sheems to me. (Exeunt omncs.

There are too many lines of irresolution about the exquisitely curved mouth for you to ever become a great general. MABE.L A. BARBEE. 528 E. Uintah, City A singularly soulful poetic face. Great tenderness for all humanity is shown in the sensitive nose and the droop of the mouth. Yet withal you are dogged, persistent, em- phatic. The rather heavy chin shows you to be a born leader of men. HAZEE ELA. The thin, pale face of an ascetic. High ideals, cynicism predominant. Mortal man will never satisfy the needs of such a soul. CHARLOTTE SPALDING, Grand Junction, Colo. The shrewd, calculating character is but ill concealed by the soft feminine features. The man who invented wooden nutmegs and paste diamonds had such a face. 39 1637 E. St., Lincoln, Neb. HELEN WOODSMALL. A maid of the clinging vine vari ety, modest, timid and retiring, your face shows you to be. You should seek a strong hand to guide you through the mazes of this dark world, where there are so many pitfalls for innocent feet. 1 18 E. Kiowa St., City. ALICE I. KIDDER. A beautiful hut insincere face. You are of a very fickle disposition, constancy to a friend being utterly impossible. But such a small defect is more than counterbalanced by the abnormal development of the intellectual powers. MABEL E. STARK. 530 N. Nevada Ave.. City. 2632 Boulevard F., Denver. The bright eyes and alert expression of the mouth show you to be of a remarkably vivacious temperament. Try to cultivate laziness, otherwise your youthful enthusiasm and the strenuousness of your ways will bring you to an earl} grave. RUT II RAGAN. Your face shows you to be a typical strong-minded woman. Such a one was Caroline Nation. But deep in your soul, jealously guarded from the common gaze is a mine of sentiment, rich, undeveloped; a vein of gold be- neath a rugged mountain MARY L. HARTIG. 1575 Penn. Ave., Denver. An exquisite face. The broad forehead shows remarka- ble intellectuality, the eyes and lips a profound sympathy. The face of a woman who could not bear to say No . 2450 Columbia Ave., Philadelphia 40 Great executive ability is shown in the droop of the eyelids. You are capable of managing your own affairs ( ( ' coeur). The soft mobile mouth and the languorous Southern smile completely belie the determination of the firm white chin. FLORENCE M. 1 1 KKRIXC. YNA REINHARDT. ' ■H • P 1 . ' a j li ' tiddH 22X E. Uintah Ave., City. Primitive woman might have had such a face. Strong, elemental emotions leave such imprints on the human countenance. The predominant passion is, perhaps, the protection of self and of your loved, but unprotected, ones. NANNIE M. ARMSTRONG. 619 N. Tejon St. The official physiognomist called on this young lady, but was unable to obtain a good view of her features, Another sad case of too modest for publication. ELIZABETH LOCK HART. 1512 Was! ington Ave. I hi ' clear eye shows you have brains of the high-honor type; the strong chin, a heart of the church-altar type.

The most prominent mark m your hand is the Line of Head, which crosses the hand to the Mount of Mars. This is a good sign, den oting decision and energy. You are not easily bored. The forked termination on the Mount of Mars shows a magnificent willingness to fight whenever and wherever given a chance. JAMES H. FINGER. iooi N. Nevada Ave. The weakness of your Line of Hepatica and the ras- cette on your Line of Life indicate ill health, due to dis- sipation, especially to excessive drinking. The Crescent of Mercury shows a tendency toward theft. Your Line of Saturn shows you will be successful at your trade to an unusual degree. We recommend you to become a lobbyist. RAYMOND L. GIVENS. 2719 Elliot St., Denver. F. M. ROBERTS. The large grille covering the entire fourth stage in the Line of Life indicates difficulties. The small fork ings indicate journeys.

The most noticeable characteristic of your hand is the Line of Heart, which rises from the Line of Life early in its third stage. It is closely followed through ut its course by the Line of Saturn, or Fortune. The large square in the Plain of Mars denotes resolution or con- stancy. Blackport, Idaho. 46 rr r. Willis. Cripple Creek, Colo. Yours is rather a remarkable hand. The Line of Life near the end of its third stage is crossed by the Line of Heart, which, at that point, becomes more prominent. This sign we are unable to explain. Otherwise your hand is good. It shows firmness, but- not quickness. LEO W. BORTREE. The abrupt turn in your Line of Life at its crossing with the Line of Head, is a bad sign. It indicates death, due to nervous prostration and 54 recitations a week. Your Line of Fortune is unusually clear. But the cross on the Mount of Mercury is another bad sign, showing an undue development of hot air during youth. 1 121 Washington Ave. PHILIP FITCH. Your hand is distinctly of the artistic type. The large development of the Mounts of Luna and Mercury show a large and fertile imagination. The long fingers shows good detail. I am surprised to see that your Line of Head is weak. Therefore we urgently recommend you to become a novel writer. Ironton School, Denver. VERNON T. BRIGHAM. Your hand in general is good, showing originality and mechanical skill, but you have two bad defects. The ras- cette on Apollo shows a bashfulness, even a timidity, about the society of others. The poor development of your Mount of Apollo shows an utter inability to talk easily. But we have no doubt that some day you can find some nice young lady who can talk for two. You need it. Kansas City, Mo. J. GUAY CHAPMAN. Your Line of Life is much broken, indicating sickness and reverses. The crescent on the Mount of Apollo shows success, due to fidelity to friends.

The second arentleman We are glad to welcome among us this year three new professors, all holding the baccalaureate degrees of that oldest institution for higher education in the middle west, Colorado College. The first of these gentlemen is the famous Prohibition- ist lecturer, Bert G. Williams, lie will occupy the newly- established chair in Railroad Grades and Pools. We were able to secure Mr. Williams only because he was com- pelled to seek a lower altitude through heart trouble. Lester C. Himebaugh, C. U„ LESTER HIMEBAUGH. R. A., T. O. R., the celebrated biologist. Mr. Himebaugh first attained a national reputation by his research work while yet an undergraduate in Colorado. Mr. Himebaugh will become head professor of the Natural Sciences De- partment. He wears gold-rimmed nose glasses. The third gentleman is one who could not easily be overlooked in any gathering, Bradley M. Thomas, the leading attorney of New Mexico, who comes to us from his home in Santa Fe. Mr. Thomas has been compelled, temporarily, to give up the active pursuit of his vocation and seek rest. He has, therefore, agreed to accept the pro fessorship of Political Science. With these additions to our faculty we feel that our future is assured. HELEN WEST. Des Moines, la.

A Short History of tHe Sophomores The Sophomores are a heathen people of Greenland, known generally by the name of Nocht Sevegn. Vanderings. — They are a nomadic tribe and the past year have wandered from their native land, bringing most of their savage habits and customs with them. General Characteristics. — At home the people of this tribe were of a vivid green complexion; of fresh appearance and actions. They were altogether crude and uncivilized. At present, under the influence of our atmosphere and climate, they have become sallow appearing and dried up, and the civilization forced upon them does not rest easily. They fret beneath it and often break away from its restraints, returning to some of their savage customs. Home Life. — The tribe frequently gathers together at the abode of one of its number, where they make the night hideous with their revelry. At one of these gatherings not a year ago did the old blood show itself in the fol- lowing manner : Mode of Warfare. — Members of the tribe of Nocht Sevegn pounce upon unsuspecting passersby, bind them and chain them in dungeons. They carry on their warfare by stealth and in ambush. At this recent gathering the. tribe overpowered the enemy, bound and gave them water treatment, pre- scribed by their medicine men. This is a favorite mode of procedure with the tribe toward its victims. Ancient Customs. — Little is known of the ancient customs of this savage people, but one of them still survives. That is what they call the barbecue , to give it a half-civilized name. Here they hold their orgies where they sac- rifice and eat the victims, prisoners taken on their warring raids. They have a huge fire with which they merely torture others and the victims are given a general shaking up. The Nocht Sevegns resemble the Indians in respect to their liking for fire water . This resemblance was noticeable shortly after the orgies of the barbecue. Another of the ancient customs survives in form of foot-ball, a cruel sport in which many braves pride themselves in taking part. This is an outcropping of the savage instinct. Intellectual Pursuits. — This tribe has never displayed any thirst for knowledge or even civilization. Two instances in their history are known when they attempted to vie with their superiors in oratory, and they were completely outclassed. Synopsis. — Civilization has been too rapidly thrust upon the tribe of Nocht Sevegn, which, combined with their natural heathen state, has made them savage in the extreme, a people to avoid. 54 57 The Freshmain Cla ss Colors : Lavender and Cream.

Did I have a good year? Well, I should say so! Yes, College was rather different from what I had expected. You know I had planned for a suite of rooms. Well, would you helieve it, Susie, when T asked for one they didn ' t know what 1 meant, hut took me over to Montgomery and showed me a double room! I was awfully surprised to think I couldn ' t see the Dean when 1 wanted to. Just think, Susie, T was number one hundred and fifty and had to wait two whole clays before I could arrange my course. Dean Parsons nice? Indeed he is! The only trouble was he wanted me to take everything in the curriculum. What did I take? Oh, lots of things. Math A is what I remember most vividly ! Hard ? If you ' d ever taken it I guess you ' d think so ! Why, I used to get good marks in algebra in high school, but I didn ' t even get sixty in the quadratic exam. — Yes, thanks, I will have some fudge ! Yours is always so good, Susie! Did we have any class scraps? Oh, yes, of course; right at the first of the year. The Sophs were having a party one night, so our boys thought they ' d have a little fun at their expense. Did they? Well — er — no! Not so much as they had expected. You heard nine of our boys were arrested? Why, Susie, what a story! Who could have told you that! There were only eight arrested, and one of them was a Junior. The Sophs turn the hose on our boys? Well, maybe they did, I don ' t remember, but lets talk of something else, I never did approve of class scraps. Take the Oratorical Contest, now. The Sophs didn ' t have a ghost of a show there, we won every place. Two of our men were in the final contest, and one of them got third place. T think that ' s a pretty good showing, don ' t you, Susie? What about athletics? Oh! we played a football and baseball game with the Sophs, er — but — T don ' t think athletics are nearly as important as oratorv, do you, Susie? The scores? Oh, I don ' t remember: they were low, though. Who won? Oh, Susie, don ' t ask so many questions. It was the Sophs, but they ought to have, when half of their men were playing on the regular teams. Anyhow, if it didn ' t win those games our class certainly did its share for athletics. Didn ' t we give two hundred dollars to raise the athletic debt? How did we get the money? Oh, in different ways. For one thing we had a county fair down in McGregor Gym, where we had a minstrel show, fortune tellers, candy, etc. It was a great success, too. Everyone said we were the most enterprising Freshman class they had ever heard of. Parties? Of course you ' d ask about them, Susie ! Yes, we had several. One was a children ' s party and you ought to have seen the costumes. You ' d be horrified if I should tell you what some of them were made of! Exams? H ' m ! I ' m afraid I ' ll have to go now, think it ' s going to rain. Goodbye, dear, hope I ' ll see you at C. C. next year. (Exit. 62 OF LEIS VBE ( i ' j:i lW M , J;M Class Officer: Professor No yes.

We have the faculty; we have the equipment. There is no reason why there should not center in Perkins Hall, a great conservatory. Colorado has need of a conservatory of music. The people of this state are a music-loving people. It is the privilege of our College to satisfy this need. Colorado College has always stood for cultural education. The cry is still : Culture for culture ' s sake. Then why not place more emphasis on the aesth-nc work — music and art? The Oberlin Conservatory is known the country over. With no rival in all this rich western country ; with hundreds of thousands of people of the highest type to draw from, ours could enter upon a career as great. The state of affairs in which the musical faculty must have private pupils if they are to make a living should cease, and it could be made to cease if the musical people of Colorado were made to see that work in the Music Department at Colorado College is held in as high repute and worthy of as high authoritative recognition by credits or diploma, as work in any other department. Let the students feel that there is something worth while going on in Perkuis. Let them have the privilege of boosting the conservatory. 66 Publications THE PIKE ' S PEAK NUGGET Published Annually by Junior Class. 1905— Vol. V. 1907— Vol. VII.

In a European university no instructor can obtain prominence who is not dis- playing power for original investigation. In American colleges and universi- ties conditions were, until recently, different. Inasmuch as the students of the first two years are younger and not so far advanced as they are in foreign unversities, the ability to teach has been a more prominent consideration here than there. No instructor can permanently hold a position in an American college who does not possess some power of imparting knowledge. Formerly, his power as an investigator was either not considered at all, or played a very secondary role. During the last fifteen or twenty years a few of the large American universities have begun to throw emphasis upon research. The professor is expected to be a producer as well as an imparter. The new spirit is pervad- ing also some of the colleges. Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams, Beloit, have had members of the faculty who devoted part of their time to research. In our own Colorado College research along scientific lines was taken up early. In 1890 the Colorado College Scientific Society was organized and the pub- lication of the Colorado College Studies was begun. Until last year only about one publication per year was issued. Most of the money for the print- ing was obtained from the income of a fund of $1,400 contributed by members of the faculty. Last year it became possible to begin a regular series of col- lege publications, which is entered at the local post office as second-class matter. According to the new plan, four of the numbers issued every year will contain articles on scientific subjects. The publication of the Studies serves not only as an incentive for carrying on research work in the College and as a means of advertising the College among people whose interest centers in scientific lines, but also in bringing to our Coburn Library a large number of exchanges. In this way many truly valuable scientific monographs reach us from all parts of the world. The proceedings of the South American societies lie on our library selves along with those of societies in Switzerland, Germany, France, England, Canada and Mexico. As the years go on there will accumulate on our shelves an ex- tensive and truly valuable collection of papers on natural history, phvsics. chemistry, and mathematics, which will he lr ' ghly appreciated by specialists. 60 7o - © a- - ©rgantzattnttB 71 First Commencement May 31, 1882. 1882— Parker S.

Kappa The Phi Beta Kappa Society was organized at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, December 5, 1776. At first it was a so- cial club and a literary society, with secrecy of symbol, sign, and initiation Chapters of the Society were established at Harvard and Yale in J 779, and at Dartmouth in 1787. During the Revolution the original chapter at the College of William and Mary ceased temporarily to exist by reason of the invasion of Virginia by the British, and it was not revived before 1849 • I ' 1 die meantime the Society had spread to many of the colleges of New Eng- land and the Middle States. Gradually there came a broadening of views and purposes that in due time brought Phi Beta Kappa from the limited range of an ordinary Greek letter fraternity into the larger ambition of a union of scholars . The oath of secrecy was abandoned, and the Society finally came to stand primarily for scholarship. In 1882 the several chapters of Phi Beta Kappa formed a union, and they adopted a constitution that provided for a representative body and executive officers. New chapters of the Society are now granted by the National Council upon the recommendation of the Senate, and they are granted only to those colleges that give evidence of a high grade of scholarship. A charter of Phi Beta Kappa was granted to Colorado College in September of T904. The following extracts are taken from the constitution and by-laws that have been adopted by the Colorado College chapter: The object of the Society is the promotion of scholarship and friendship among students and graduates of American colleges. The members of the Society are elected primarily from the best scholars of the graduating classes of the College ; secondly from the graduates of the College whose postgraduate work entitles them to such honor; and lastly from any persons distinguished in letters, science, or education. In addition to scholarship, good moral character is required as a qualification for membership. One-seventh of the regular members of each graduating - class in the College of Liberal Avis of Colorado College are eligible to election to the Phi Beta Kappa Society at the end of the first semester of the Senior year; provided, however, that no student is eligible who does not take bis Junior and Senior years in Colorado College, or who has not received a grade- mark of ninety out of a possible one hundred in at least one-half of his college work. s 5 £ 1904-5 OFFICERS 1905-6 C.

Mr. Lester McLean, Jr., General Secretary of the city Y. M. C. A., and a former member of the Band, meets with us with Mrs. McLean. Our regular Band meetings are held the first hour every Saturday morn- ing. They consist mostly of devotional reading, discussion of books of spe- cial benefit and training for foreign workers, and prayer. We are fortunate this year in being able to keep in close touch with work in Japan, through numerous letters from Win. Merrell Vories, C. C, ' 04, who is now teaching in the High School at Hachiman, Shiga Ken, Japan, and conducting various Bible classes there aside from bis regular work. We have done more outside work in the churches this year than usual, having led Christian Endeavor Societies and sometimes regular church ser- vices at least once a month. In these we have presented the Student Volunteer Movement and also have tried to be used to stir up dormant missionary in- terest. We have also conducted meetings both of the Young Men ' s and Young Women ' s Christian Associations of the College. Circular letters have been sent to our alumni, many of whom are now in the foreign field. Several missionaries, at home on furloughs, have met with us during the year and given us much information which will be of practical value both here and in other continents; news also of others now in training in this country who have, with us, signed the Volunteer Declaration: It is my purpose, if God permit, to become a foreign missionary. 86 The Brotherhood of St. Andrew COLORADO COLLEGE CHAPTER NO. 1801 L. W. Bortree, Director. M. R. Smith, Sec.-Treas. MEMBERS W. A. Bartlett H. Hutchinson L. W. Bortree M. R. Smith B. G. Hannan B. G. Williams The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is an order composed of young men of the Episcopalian Church. Its object is to bring young men nearer to Christ through the Church by means of personal work . This work may consist of personal efforts to get young men, who do not attend church regularly, to go to church, or being regular attendants, who have not been baptized or con- firmed, to baptism and confirmation. This order has many members through- out the English-speaking world, but it was not until last year that the consti- tution of the Brotherhood was so modified as to allow chapters to be formed in Colleges not under Church control. Almost immediately after this amendment was passed a movement was started by the members of the Brotherhood who attended Colorado College to form a chapter here. A pro- bationary chapter was formed and was chartered in November, 1904, as Colorado College chapter No. 1801. As a result of the organized work among the men in the College by the wearers of the little lapel button with the red St. Andrew ' s cross, a much more regular attendance at the two local Episcopalian Churches has been brought about. The work is well started and much good should result from the work in the future. 87 The Pike ' s Peak Polytechnic Society The region about Colorado Springs contains a surprisingly large number of engineers and other scientific technical workers, yet not enough of any one class to form by themselves a strong self-sustaining club. The benefits of an organization for mutual help, though long desired, were realized only when the various classes united in the latter part of 1904 to form a polytechnic society. The scheme of organization adopted contemplated an aliquot division of the funds, meetings and work of the society along each of the several lines in which the members were interested. Colorado College, in behalf of its Engineering School, was an important factor in the formation of the new society. Members of this school were made ex officio members of the Society, while the College supplied a commodious apartment with heat and light for meetings and reading room, and entrusted to the care of the Society a large collection of its technical books, papers and magazines. Considerable sums of money have been spent by the Society in furnishing the room, in paying for an evening attendant, and in the journals — between forty and fifty — suited to the wants of the members. The annual dues to members of the Society — excepting engineering students, from whom no dues are collected — have been placed at five dollars. The membership, exclusive of students, is close upon one hundred at this date. The main objects aimed at in the organization of the Society are: First, the securing of scientific literature, books, transactions, reports and current magazines, as a basis of study and information; and second, the realization of the benefits to be derived from the discussion of technical subjects, and of the applications of principles to the practical processes of the arts. The former object has now been in large degree accomplished, as already stated; t lie latter is attained by means of frequent meetings of the Society, through addresses delivered and papers read. The Society has been exceeding for- tunate in securing addresses from eminent scientists and distinguished en- gineers out of the city, and also from the ablest of our resident specialists. The regular meetings occur on the second Saturday evening of each month. It is, however, the policy of the Society to invite men of high reputation in special lines, whom it may induce to come, or who may chance to come, to this city, to give addresses at called meetings at any other time. Since the organization of the Society in November, 1904, the following addresses have been given : Dr. J. C. Shedd, city. — Notes on Lightning. Judge Leonard E. Curtis, city — The Guanajuato Power Plant. Mr. W. G. M. Stone, Denver, — Forrestry in Colorado. Prof. J. H. Kerr, city, — Several Things and the Panama Canal. Mr. Bion J. Arnold, Chicago, — Chicago ' s Transportation Problem. Social meeting with collation and toasts. Mr. E. C. Van Diest and Prof. J. H. Kerr, city, — Discussion, Under- ground Waters. 88 The FootligRts Club MANAGEMENT LESTER S. BALE, President. CLARENCE W. BOWERS, Musical Director. RAY B. SHAW, Business Manager and Stage Director.

The lights burned low and dim. Most dismally the midnight hour drew near. The train creaked slow- ly on its way, jolting and bumping frightfully. All this unpleasantness ac- corded well with the moods of a group of forlorn men who sat huddled up in their overcoats, vainly trying to keep warm, utterly despairing of any- thing like cheerfulness. A gust more fearful than the others rattled the windows of the old car and Rip Van Winkle gasped : Blow! blow! thou winter wind, Thou art not so unkind As man ' s ingratitude. Tis true, sighed his paramour. Let us, Rip dear, discuss in calmness the present circumstances. Ah, yes, ' tis this : sans goods, sans money, sans engagements, sans every- ■ m £- In all the world no stage That we, as men and women, May play upon. The main proposition, or to be more clear, the substance of the matter; or to be more explicit: the digest of the subject; or to be most plain: the thing we ' re up against, is as may he expressed, propounded, explained and set forth thusly : To play or not to play, That is the question. Whether it is nobler on the stage to go. And there to play — what? I don ' t know. When on the bills it ' s up to me, And poorly play it ' s got to be, Or homeward take my weary way ; Count up the money left and see That not one cent remains to me. The Burgomaster roused Capt.

Stewart If that day conies when our College will have reached a standstill we stu- dents each have a feeling that we would then want to leave, but none of us have that feeling at present. During the early part of the present year there was a feeling on the part of some o the more advanced students in Chemistry, that some incentive should be given to do original research, and that some means should be provided whereby we might mutually help one another in meeting the more difficult problems of analysis and theory.. Accordingly the C. C. C. C. was organized, among the upper classmen, which, in its constitution, provides for the above benefits. A standing prize is offered for achievement in original research. Regular monthly meetings are held at which papers are read by members of the club, while special meet- ings are often addressed by prominent engineers and chemists. A pin has been adopted, of which we are very proud, and we expect to see it worn by the favored few for many years to come. In all probability the banquet given this year will become an annual event, strengthening as it does the bonds of union, already strong by mutual interests. 90 TKe Oratorical Association Raymond L. Givens, President. ) W. A. Bartlett, Vice-President. Officers 1904-1905 James I. Mufeley, Secretary-Treasurer. ) The Oratorical Association is one of the oldest organizations in the College and although it does not have a brilliant record, yet it has one of work and earnest endeavor to make this side of college life occupy its deserved position. In 1898 the Association was enlarged to the Oratorical and Debating Asso- ciation and since that time there has been an annual interstate debate, besides the participation in the state oratorical contest. This year the Association was represented in the state contest by Martin Mnsser, who received third place, and Mark Mohler, who secured fifth place. The debate this year is with the University of Utah, and will be held here in May. The question is Resolved, That the closed shop system is beneficial to American industries, Colorado College having the negative. The mem- bers of the team are V. E. Keyes, M. C. Hall, R. L. Givens. At present general interest is turning from pure oratory and is centering more in the debate, where the person not only learns to speak fluently and easdy, but also to think quickly and concisely. This kind of work affords a practical training for the average student which is helpful in the extreme in everyday business of life. It develops a nd rounds out a man, giving him a polish and ease of bearing coupled with a strengthening of character, which no one can afford to miss. Oratory and debating, like all things worth having, require work and con- stant practice before they become tools with which one may successfully work and accomplish worthy results, and in the College Association is the place for every person in College to gain a liking for this kind of work and a skilfulness to enable him to gain lasting benefits from it. 91 Colorado College AiKletic Association W.

I floundered toward the campus, My trousers turned up high. And longed for an umbrella To shield me from the sky. I thought me of a couple I ' d seen before that night. And wondered if they saw me There in the fading light. But now — I almost started. And just suppressed a cry; J saw those very people Outlined against the sky Where, on the dim horizon, The clouds had given way Just as we ' ve seen them breaking When comes the early day. Thev seemed to be contented To stay there in the snow, Because, as I came splashing They made no move to go. T had to pass right by them And so, as T drew near, T saw them still more clearlv — ' Twas strange they didn ' t hear. 1 saw two faces, dimly, Almost merged into one. ( I felt like an eaves-dropper. I could have had some fun.) Motionless as a statue The old umbrella rose ; Beneath — I saw the distance Between those faces close. And then, what might have happened Is not for me to tell. Because the distance widened — (T heard a muffled yell.) I kept on walking boldly, As noisy as I came, But say, the fellow knew me And called to me by name. Now then, you who are guilty. Don ' t think you are betrayed. Because I ' ve kept the promise To you, I that night made. I carefully have guarded Your names from off this sheet; I ' ll never reveal the secret, No matter whom I meet. The task to keep it quiet Is really quite immense. But still there ' s no one knows it But us, and Providence. The Parting He faltered at the open door And gave a parting sigh. He only wanted one kiss more Before he said good-bye. She also faltered — by the way — With keenest sign of fright ; For then her father held full sway And kicked him out of sight. — O. R. 94 Value of the Literary Society The literary society holds a high place as a phase of student activity. Where the fraternity too often and too readily calls forth on the one hand friends and on the other enemies, the literary society in its intrinsic nature calls for nothing hut approbation and at the most a friendly rivalry. Where fac- ulties view with ' suspicion and disappproval the coming in of fraternities, they are glad to welcome and aid the literary and sorry to see it supplanted. We have nothing to say against fraternities, quite the contrary — hut the conditions stated here are generally admitted. As a phase of student activity the literary society offers to its memhers a chance to measure up with other men. To any man this means emulation, to the amhitious man it means leadership. And yet with all the chance for individual development there is the advantage of co-operation and organiza- tion, the benefits which come to men working for a common cause in friendly association. Yet these are benefits which will come to any man who takes an active part in student life. The benefits which the literary society peculiarly confers ore largely those coming from constant public effort and subsequent fair and frank criticism. Every time a man appears on a program his profitable per- sonal equation is checked up in the minds of his audience Does he rise to the occasion? What of his sense of humor, of proportion, of tact? Has he ideas without expression or expression without ideas? These are the ques- tions asked by his critics and the answers imparted to him by bis friends are bound to prove beneficial. In everything he does the active society member will see the necessity of having, first, ideas and second the ability to express them sensibly and tactfully. The society will do much to round out a man. Tt will teach him to argue dispassionately and on adequate grounds; it will compel him to be interesting if he is to receive attention; it will encourage humor and wit and discourage foolishness and stupidity. Serious debates will satisfy one part of his na- ture, music another and dramatics a third. Now, who should jo ' Ti a literary society? The literary man that he may add to his equipment; the scientific student that he may be a broader man; the engineering student esnecially that be may not drift into the technical life so far that he is out of touch with the broad basis of collegiate life and training; and every man because for the time and money invested it offers the greatest returns in friendship, mental development and the building up of an alert, thoughtful, self-confident personality, fitted for the social life of man in his relations to his fellows! 95 FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER Victor E.

There is an individuality to the preparatory school it has never before known. The line between College and Academy is becoming more distinct hut in no way detrimentally to the Academy. With this individuality has come a sense of responsibility, and the athletic teams which have represented Cutler during the past two years have had as high sense of loyalty and as marked degree of perseverance as can be found in any school in the state. With one baseball championship of Southern Colorado Secondary Schools, and a splendid team which bids fair to take another championship — perhaps this time of a larger district ; with an excellent record in basket-ball during two seasons, there is much to encourage and inspire athletics. The football season of 1-904 is not to be left without, mention, not only because it is one of the Academy activities, but because it gives such a splendid -example of Cutler spirit and determination. Made up as it was, almost altogether of green men, with almost no coaching, the uphill fight of the football team is an inspiring memory. The work of the Hesperian Society is also worthy of much praise. On interscholastic debate, the members, though not always successful, have always proven themselves strong and logical thinkers, and have gained the hearty applause of their audience, if not the votes of the judges. The encouraging fact is that defeat means to this body of workers, only harder work and an ex- tension of hope till next time . That victory, in the end, always crowns efforts such as Cutler students are making, is patent. One characteristic fact is that faculty and students pull together. With a principal who enters into the lives of the students, and a student body zealous in their school ' s behalf and jealous for her good name, Cutler Academy has nothing- to fear. C.

There are three reasons why we did not win games: First, injuries to players at critical times; second, lack of condition of the players caused by disregard of rules of training; third, a very bad schedule. The team was captained by Loring Lennox, a good, consistent player, and an able leader. There reported for practice eleven men who had won their Cs and much green material with which Coach Juneau worked wonders so that a week before the big game with Boulder our chances to begin the season with a great victory were good. But both quarterbacks, Johnston and Randloph, on account of injuries, were unable to enter the game. Fisher, with but a few days ' practice at that position, played a good defensive game, but the team had practically no offense. The Tigers went down to defeat fighting gloriously for every foot of ground. The final score was 23 to o. Although the team was in no shape to play, next week it went to Denver to play D. U. and was expected to administer a decisive defeat to the beefy team that had been so easy earlier in the season. But the unexpected happened and D. U. actually defeated C. C. in a football game. The score was 14 to 8. A week later Capt. Lennox took his team to Fort Collins for a game with the Aggies. Those farmer boys gave the Tigers a hard game, but with a neat goal from the field Capt. Lennox saved the game and C. C. won by the score of 4 to o. Tt was with fear and trembling that we saw the once invincible Tigers de- part for Golden, where they were to close the season by a game with the Miners, who had so decisively defeated Boulder. Our team bad recovered its form and the Miners were outplayed at every stage of the game, and but for an unfortunate fumble the Tigers would have won the game. In the first half by fierce line plunging C. C. carried the ball to the Miners ' 15-yard line and Capt. Lennox kicked a goal. During the second half the ball was in the Miners ' territory most of the time, but just one minute before the game was over S. S. M. got the ball on a fumble on the Tigers ' 35-yard line and Sill kicked the goal that tied the game. By graduation we lose Nead and P ale, two players who have won their C ' s with the four bars. But there are some good players anxiously waiting to take their places. The success of the 1905 team w r as practically assured by the choice as captain of the best man on the team, Billy Johnston. 135 The Foot Ball Team OFFICERS. L. C. Lennox Captain Wm. Juneau Coach W.

There were seven players from the champions of 1903 and plenty of good material in the Freshman class, so we felt that Capt. Reed and his Tigers would certainly laud another champion- ship. The team developed early, and under the coaching of Mr. Stewart, be- gan the season in championship form. Before the season began it was evident that the struggle for the top perch would be between S. S. M. and C. C. In the first game the Tigers simply overwhelmed the State University team and won by the score of 12 to I. In- stead of spoiling the team the victory inspired it with greater spirit, and just two weeks later the Tigers, in a spectac- ular game, defeated Capt. Vaughn ' s Miners by the score of 2 to 1 . Then the team slumped. The Aggies forfeited both games and rain prevented several practice games that had been scheduled, so that the team declined. Then the Miners came down to play their final game. Tf they won they would still have a chance for the flag. But if the Tigers won the pennant would surely float over Washburn Field. The Tigers played poor ball and Golden won. It was a great blow, but we still had a chance. There still remained one game and that at Boulder. If we won it there would lie another game with Golden to settle the champ ionship. The team practiced faithfully and put up a great game at Boulder. However, they fell one tally short of overcoming the lead the umpire gave Boulder in the first inning. There was a big celebration in Jefferson County that night. The Miners were champions. The team for 1905 promises well. There are but four of last year ' s team back, but the young players are getting into the game in a manner that looks good. Capt. Hester is in fine form and should pitch great ball. The fol- lowing men made up the team of 1904: Reed (c) First Base Hester Pitcher Falk Third Base Howell Catcher Johnston Second Base Tegtmeyer Short Stop Pettibone Short Stop Leuchtenberg Center Field Emrich Left Field Pardee Rigdit Field Sollenberger Pitcher 138 HB Bffi 139 The enthusiast in track athletics has just cause for rejoicing this year. Last year, through the generosity of Mr. Washburn, the athletic field was enlarged and a quarter-mile running track built, the fastest in the west . The straightaway on one side being extended, gave the two hundred and twenty- yard runs on a straight track. With this valuable asset, Colorado College hid for and secured the state meet for the spring of 1904. In the home meet over thirty- five men competed. A dual meet with Denver was won by C. C, by scoring 67 points to Denver ' s 55 ; another with Golden resulted in a tie, and a third with the University of Utah at Salt Lake, was lost to Lhah in the last event. In the inter-collegiate meet, but third place was secured, the State University winning 59 points, Denver, 23 points; Colorado College, 22 1-3 points; School of Mines, 12 1-3 points, and Agricultural College, 9 1-3 points There were obstacles in the way of last year ' s team that will not be en- countered this year. The track was barely completed by the time of the first dual meet, and but four of all the candidates had had previous track experi- ence. From these causes and from poor training facilities, injuries were sus- tained that were costly in all the meets; in the state meet, especially, two valuable men were unable to participate. A review of the work of last year ' s team cannot be made without mention of D. Ci. Rice. In the low and high hurdles he was never beaten. His work- in the running - high and running high jumps was a close second est records made in the state the highest individual point the five Colorado institu- broad to the He was winner in tions. Last year ' s work showed plainly the great possibilities of the College in track work, in training in a high altitude us an experienced nucleus of a team for this year. Philip Fitch, this year ' s manager, nas had some ears ' experience in this position and is a worthy successor of Work. Painter is again captain, and will also look to the coaching of the team. it taught us lessons it gave 140 Hi Events 142 The Local Oratorical Contest Perkins Hall, January 26, 8 o ' clock.

What Means my soul, this fever and this fret, This faltering faith, this loss of wonted power; This fear that makes thee cringe and cower When thou should ' st needed courage get, And face and heart should like a flint be set To do the task that beckons with the hour? Around thee craven forces bend and lower, To sap thy strength, thy trembling doubt abet ; Their demon sneer would shriek to see thee fail And lay thy crown of duty in the dust. Then up. my soul ! The powers that thee assail To drag thee from high aim, beat back thou must ! For God in thee but waiteth to prevail. If thou but grasp His might and truth and trust. 1 60 I ■•W MM ML ■ ' • ' ' 3 m Ji ' '  - - r i ■ ■ i . i r Tf ■■flf Vf J frf 1 ? rji 1 ; jiffej IT a l4I [ffHiBP £ivnt?i I WiV B PPBBUj IKI H A CHOICE OF SPRING BOOKS OVER THE T CUPS The Romance of a Freshman.

An idler, longing for a vagrant, favoring breeze That may, perchance, some dream ship bring Safe into port with wealth for him from distant seas.

Auld ht rkg Syxve It was in the fall of 1880 that I entered Colorado College, or rather the preparatory department of that institution. The plant of the Col- lege at that time consisted of the main building of what is now called Cutler Academy ; there were piles of sand and mortar around the premises and an odor of fresh paint and var- nish, with other signs of newness, in and about the building. There were no houses directly north of the Col- lege, but there were a few scattered dwellings to the northeast. Rev. E. P. Tenney was the brilliant and ec- centric president, and with Profes- sors Sheldon, Loud, Strieby and Miss Bump formed a small but strong faculty. All of the students from that day to this have known Professors Loud and Strieby and of them it may well be said : They need no eulogy, they speak for themselves. I liked Miss Bump, perhaps one reason was that she laughed so heartily at my poor jokes. The most of my work in Colorado College was in Latin and Greek under Professor Sheldon, and my feelings toward him have always been those of the highest regard and esteem. Of students there were two Juniors, one Sophomore and half a dozen Freshmen, with about one hundred in the preparatory depart- ment. This disproportion was doubt- less due to the lack of secondary schools in the state at that time; it would be interesting to compare the number and location of the schools in Colorado which fit for college in the present year of grace with those of a similar grade in 1880; such a com- parison would give a good idea of the progress of education in Colora- do in the last quarter of a century. Pre-eminent among the students was Frank Ledlie Cooper, a man of Editors ' Note. — It was the aim of the Nugget Board to have reminiscences such as the following, which should cover in their aggregate the whole history of Colorado College, from its conception to the present. To this end we wrote to alumni, representative of the dif- ferent periods, asking them to write up the Colorado College of their student days. Fortunately for the world, but unfortunately for us, our graduates are busy up to their limit in the world ' s work. Some, however, at a sacrifice to themselves, have responded splen- didly to our .request and we trust that the historical matter which follows will be as inspiring to our readers as it has been to us. 165 1 66 AULD LANG SYNE. rare mental endowments, whose early death cut short a career of great promise. Others of prominence were the Seldomridges, Harry and Charlie, and the Picketts, John, George, and Ed. Ryder. It used to he said that the Pickett boys would be longest remembered in Colorado Springs of all the students, because i if their discovery of Pickett ' s Cave in Williams Canon, but alas, the owners of the ground preferred a classical name to a local one and it is now the Cave of the Winds. Of the girl students I best remember Miss Rowe, now Mrs. Thome ; Miss Ayer, now Mrs. Hildreth, and Miss Speer, for a long time stenographer in the Supreme Court of Colorado. The superfluous mental energy of the students that year was expended in a mock legislature, and it was there that Senator Seldomridge be- gan his brilliant political career as the representative, as he used to say, of the grand old Democratic county of Las Animas. It has been claimed that his being assigned to represent that county determined the future politics of the Senator, but I under- stand that he denies this and states that, although he did not inherit his politics, he was an early convert to the party of Jefferson. Manv of the boys were strong and athletic but there was no systematic training and no organization outside of a good baseball club. This base- ball team had the misfortune to meet a team from the D. R. G. R. R. offices, which were then located in Colorado Springs, with an imported battery. The College boys were com- pletely mystified by the pitcher ' s curves, and fanned the air in a most disheartening fashion ; finally Coop- er found the ball for two bases, and I have never forgotten the expres- sion on the face of one of the Col- lege girls, as, utterly oblivious of the spectators present, she ran back and forth clapping her hands and shout- ing, Good, old Cooper; good, old Cooper. One Sunday night in the spring of 1881 there was a tremendous fall of snow which broke up the Col- lege for a week. Some of the larg- est boys broke their way through the snow and one of the girls ar- ried on horseback attended by a groom, but lessons were just re-as- signed and no attempt was made at recitation. One day I rode up to the College on an old white government mule that used to carry his master, Sergeant O ' Keefe, to the U. S. Sig- nal Station on the top of Pike ' s Peak. The sergeant and his mule were both famed in local story and no prouder student ever landed at the College from an automobile than the one who dismounted on that snowy day from 1he back of that illustrious mule. I did not return to the College during the following year and the boys published in the paper a notice about like this: Robert D. Mc- Leod is lost somewhere in the wilds of the Gunnison countrv. Informa- tion thankfully received. The joke seems fairly obvious but apparently it needed a diagram for it was sever- al years before I got through ex- plaining to people that I really nev- er played the part of one of the babes in the woods. When I returned in the fall of [882, the College was beginning its most prosperous year prior to the administration of President Slocum. The two wings of the College had been completed, a club house had been built at the corner of Cascade AULD LANG SYNE. 167 and Columbia Avenues, and three smaller houses in that vicinity were given over to the students. Besides these, there was what might be called a boys ' dormitory, four or five blocks east of the club house. This was known as the Hooper House and was commonly supposed to be so called because the boys used to w hooper up so everlastingly there. There had been a large increase in the faculty also and although Tuckerman and Halleck had graduated in the spring there were more students than ever before, and more than were ever gathered there again for many years. That year was a strenuous one in College circles. Every student car- ried a big stick, and a chip on his shoulder. First, tbe students were divided into two literary societies called the Occidental Club and the Irving Institute, respectively; then tbe Irving Institute was subdivided into two factions, the Cooperites and tbe Wright-Henryites. This belig- erency even entered the club house and seven students withdrew and es- tablished bachelor quarters at the Hooper House. They took upon themselves the name of the Seven Wise Men, and Cooper added, of grease. As I have kept track of most of the seven it might be of interest, at least to the old timers, to state that at last accounts, Wright, So- relle, Henry and McLeod were law- yers, at Omaha, Denver, Pueblo and Leadville, respectively; Manning- was a minister at Marshfield, Mass., Gould, a well-known physician on the western slope in Colorado, and Jamerson, a painter. As roughing il d ' d not have the charm of novelty ior me I soon withdrew and lived down town until there was a change of management at the club. Early in the year a serious acci- dent occurred. A party of studenrs went on a picnic in two carriages to Cheyenne Canon. Naturally the two ligs got into a race and as a result the larger one, containing about a dozen persons, was soon lying with its wheels on top near the mouth 01 tbe north canon. Two young ladies were seriously hurt and all were bad- ly shaken up. The matter was kept out of all the papers except the organ of the opposition, The Occidental Mirror ' , which only said: It will be a dreary, inclement day when they have another picnic, and then some- one else will push the lines. In the fall of 1882, the College boys played a game of football with the Crowell Hose team, under what were then known as the Rugby rules. Historically this game was important as it was, I believe, the first game in Colorado of the modern college football. The game was contested fiercely but played loosely and was won by the College through a mar- velous field kick by Frank Johnson. Professor Kerr offered a number of cash prizes for the best oration, historical essay, etc., in the spring of 1883, the whole amounting to the sum of $120.00. Many of the students competed, and when the prizes were awarded it was found that the members of the Irving In- stitute had won $105.00, the mem- bers of the Occidental Club, $5.00, and an unattached student the re- maining $10.00. This added fuel to the flame of ill feeling between the societies and during the whole of the next college year a bitter feud exist- ed which was healed in the fall of 1884, by the dissolution of the old so- cieties and the formation of a new one. As the old societies were sup- 1 68 AULD LANG SYNE. posed to have been incinerated and the new one to have arisen from their ashes, it was called the Phoenix. The fall of 1883 witnessed a great change in the personel of the stu- dents. Wright had graduated, Coop- er had gone to Amherst, Soule to New Mexico, Henry did nut return. Miss Estabrook had returned to her home in Michigan and many others dropped out and disappeared from the College life. Others, however, entered or came into prominence in the College, and this too was a pros- perous year. Among the leading students might be mentioned Gray, Hildreth, Curtis and Meserve, while the presence of such young ladies as Miss Marden and the Misses Martin and Bean gave a new tone of refine- ment to College society. At the club house were three young women from New England, Miss Kies, Miss Rice and Miss Warren, who were a con- tinual source of wonder to the west- ern students, not only by reason of their erudition, but also on account of the avidity with which they swal- lowed the big stories from the moun- tains, which in those rude days passed for humor. During the winter a great mis- fortune befell the College. The club house took fire and being beyond the reach of water from the fire plugs, it was burned to the ground ; some of the young ladies losing most of their personal effects. This was the oc- casion of the formation of the Col- lege Hose team. During that fall and winter there were three notable games of football. The first was between the College and the Crowell Hose teams and was won by the Crowells by a close score. In that game on the College team there was a broad-faced boy who in after years won fame at Har- vard in heavy athletics, breaking two college records ; they called him J. Ralph Finlay. The second game was played in Denver between the Den- ver Rugby team and a Colorado Springs team made up of men from the Crowell and the College teams. A Denver paper had referred to the Springs as tender house plants and local feeling ran high. Denver failed to score and the single touchdown made by Ferran of the Crowells, se- cured the victory for Colorado Springs. The newspapers of both cities were filled with accounts of the game and the victors received a great ovation on their return. The third ame was between the College and the Crowells, and resulted in a victory for the College by a score of 13 to o. This victory was, however, marred by the breaking of the leg of Curtis of the College team. After making some allowance for preju- dice, I am still of the opinion that Colorado has rarely seen a better team than that of the College on that dav. Such men as Gray, Bainter, Jamerson, Vella, Frank and Harry Johnson and George Pickett are sel- dom found in small colleges. In the spring of 1884, the State Oratorical Association was formed by representatives from Colorado College, and the Universities of Den- ver and Colorado ; this association, I believe, still exists. The contest that year was held in Denver in the old Methodist church on Lawrence Street. Each institution was repre- sented by two speakers, Johnson and McLeod being the representatives of Colorado College. The University of Denver won both first and second place. AULD LANG SYNE. 169 John R. Pickett and Miss Doak were the graduates that spring. The next fall saw a marked de- cline in the College in nearly every department, largely through finan- cial and administrative difficulties. Walter L. Wilder entered the Col- lege and with Frederic R. Hastings was a great factor in College life during the remainder of my resi- dence there. The accident to Curtis of the previous year discredited foot- ball and only one important match was played that year ; this was with the Denver University team and an account of it will he given later in this paper. Among the students who will long be remembered was Stone, whose two lectures on the Influence of the North American Indian on Civ- ilization and the Ante-diluvian Period were full of delicious, dry humor. Then there was Jamie Ells- worth. Jamie, who used to dress well and had a large assortment of neckties, was called the dude. Like many other eastern boys, he was en- amored with wild life on the plains. He was a good rider and his delight was to spend a week occasionally on a ranch. One time Jamie assisted a cattle outfit to drive some stock to Breckenridge ; the cowboys killed a rattlesnake and fried it and Jamie having partaken of this appetizing dish, became deathly sick. This was his most thrilling adventure. His brother George, however, with that contempt for high ideals which seems characteristic of younger brothers, used to rail at Jamie in this fashion : I ' m a bad man; I ' m a cow puncher ; I ' ve been to Breckenridge ; I ' ve eat rattlesnake ; Zip ! Whoopla ! At last accounts Jamie was rounding up news for a daily paper in Boston, and we may be sure that he never varies the traditional pork and beans of the Hub with such gastronomic novelties as fried rattlesnake. When the time for the oratorical contest rolled around, the students of the College were very confident that either one or the other of their rep- resentatives, Wilder and Seldom- ridge, would get first place. The contest was held in the Methodist church in Colorado Springs, and the University of Denver brought along its football team to play a match game with the College on the follow- ing day. Our boys delivered fine addresses but Manly of Denver and Brainard of Boulder were awarded the decision by the judges. On the following day the football teams lined up on the common west of the old high school building on lower Cascade Avenue and the College won in a spirited contest by a score of 12 to o. Whereupon one of the local papers said that the College boys were more intellectual in their arms and legs than their opponents. In the fall of 1885. the Pike ' s Peak Echo was started by the students i have always been very proud of this College paper and still retain the files, but on looking the publica- tion over I find that aside from a fine poem by Mrs. Marden and an occasional well-written article by friends of the paper, it was only the literary and journalistic ability of Wilder which raised the paper above the commonplace. The chief athletic event of that year was a game of football with the High School under the associa- tion rules. One of the teachers of the High School was a young Cana- dian who was an expert in the game, and he trained his team to a high de- 170 AULD LANG SYNE. gree of proficiency, the teacher and a young colored man being the strongest players. The College boys having received and accepted a chal- lenge, started in roughly to practice under the unfamiliar rules. In the squad was a human cannon ball named Campbell who soon came into collision with a rapid little player named Turner and Turner retired for the next year ; next Campbell and Finlay came together and the Col- lege was thereupon deprived of the services of that young giant; next the redoubtable Campbell bowled over the captain of the team and that officer during the match walked stiffly around giving orders without attempting to play. The tactics of the teacher, who was also the captain of the High School team, were soon disclosed. Leave the ball and take the man, be would call to the col- ored fellow and over would go a College player ; then Campbell was called up and sent to that side of the field with the same orders, Leave the ball and take the man, and that African soon discovered that the Campbells were coining. For three or four times the champions came to- gether with a noise that could be heard across the field and then Campbell, with a shoulder and hip movement, threw his opponent a dozen feet, and ended that feature of the game. The College won the game by a close score, and the spec- tators, pleased with the skillful drub- bing of the High School players and the sky-scraping kicks of the College men, pronounced the match one of the best athletic events ever wit- nessed in the Springs. The College men, however, were dissatisfied with the game and declined to play any more under the association rules, upon the plea that it unfitted them for the regular College game. The spring of 1886 found the Col- lege without a president and involved in great financial difficulties. Wil- der asked in The Echo : Why three gilt balls on high upon the College roof are set, And if they will be taken down when it gets out of debt; and there was a marked falling off both in attendance and interest. Manning and Miss Caldwell were the graduates that year and a rising young lawyer named Edward O. Wolcott, who was destined to at- tain a national reputation as an ora- tor, delivered the address. When I returned in the fall of 1886, I found myself to be the only student in the regular College course. This is the condition to which Pro- fessor Parsons refers when he speaks of the man who was once Colorado College. The responsibility was too great, so at the end ot one week I went on to Ann Arbor and entered the University of Michigan. I re- tained the same grade as at the Col- lege and took the A. B. degree in The years of my residence in Colo- rado College were pleasant years and the thoughts revived by the prepara- tion of this sketch can best be des- cribed in a simile of Wilder ' s : It i ■ like rummaging around in an old garret in which are stored the flow- ers plucked in other days, the aroma of whose fragrance still lingers around these relics of the past. R. D. McLeod. AULD LANG SYNE. 171 AN ECHO FROM ' 94- ' 97 For convenience ' s sake we reckon time by years ; and the record of the years is called history. Yet history is not measured by years, but by accomplishment. Considered thus, the years ' 94- ' 97 were bountiful ones in the life of Colorado College: for they bore fruit — aye, and scars, too — of noble accomplishment. Some of this was material, but much of it was not; it was better. Accomplishment is both the seed and the fruit of character. Out of it grows character, strong and sym- metrical, as the strength of the ath- lete grows from his activity; and character in turn, thus strengthened, bears fruit in yet greater accomplish- ment. Thus accomplishment en- riches character, and character mul- tiplies accomplishment. Hence, let me suggest some lines along which the character of the student body grew broader and stronger during those years. When I entered College its atmos- phere was charged with the spirit of hero-worship. Kettle, Matchett, Tibbs, Olmsted, Squire Murdoch, Benson — these were names to con- jure by. They were spoken in quiet awe by the Apollonians, and were quoted with solemn finality in stu- dent meetings But the student con- sciousness underwent a change. It was not that they loved the old he- roes less, but that they loved the new order of things more. With the completion of Coburn Library, and the subsequent use of its basement as the chapel, new influences were set at work which wrought new condi- tions in the student life. In the chapel each class had speci- fied pews in which its members were to sit; and the Academy students sat apart, not daring so much as to lift their eyes. Thus the dignity of a recognized, independent entity was bestowed upon each of the classes: ;iiid class spirit became from that time an increasing factor in the stu- dent consciousness. Each class strove to outdo its predecessor. Scholastic honors, social prestige, and prominence in college loyalty were eagerly sought. The class ri- valry thus aroused did much for the advancement of the student body as a whole. By the use of the library the gen- eral student life was gradually shorn of much of its provincialism. The deep alcoves, whose shelves were laden with uncounted (and some- times uncut) pages of wisdom, the splendid statue of Winged Victory, and the general atmosphere — all these impressed upon the students, subtly but persistently, a new and higher ideal. Hamilton Wright Ma- ine says that the crowning results of culture are liberation from ones time and from ones place. Tn Coburn Library many a student was loosed from the shackles of a narrow vision, and his mind learned to range the world and the ages. Thus the stu- dent life expanded and the student character became more robust. These changing conditions were reflected in the social life of the 172 AULD LANG SYNE. College. Who of the privileged ones of ' 94- ' 97 can forget the friendly at- mosphere of the Severy home, or the generous cordiality of the Brighams, or the gracious hospitality of the Ehrichs ! There Laughter, holding both his sides, made high carnival. There ginger champagne flowed without stint. There music had its charms to sooth the savage breast. But in all this there was, more or less unconscious- ly, an element of serious value. It was a refiniing and polishing pro- cess, delightful to experience; and through it culture grew apace. Another phase of the marked de- velopment of those years was the ex- pansion of athletics. In ' 94 Colora- do College was an object of ridicule in State athletic circles. In ' 97 she had compelled respect from the oth- er institutions, and had won two or three championships — I ' m not sure which. What hard work this meant ! What self-mastery! What perse- verance ! Who can forget Coffin and Murdoch and Berry and Bay ley and Packard and the other heroes of the diamond and the gridiron, or Fairbanks, of the court? Had my pen wings I would let it tell of one or two of the great games ; but it has not. And, perhaps this is well; for, great as were those days, they were the days of beginnings. Doubt- less many who were then in knee pants and short skirts have in these later clays beheld such contests on the field as would have been eye-openers tu those who were faithful in then day but have passed on. I cannot refrain, however, from a word concerning one great com est. Upon it hung the championship. Ex- citement ran high. Class records rah low. Even the town was ex- cited. On the day of the game the atmosphere was surcharged with restlessness. People suddenly caught themselves covered with goose-flesh, and their teeth chattering. Presi- dent Slocum occupied a prominent place in the grand stand — that is, for a time. But he got too nervous, and joined the school of the Peri- patetics. He wore that same old hat, a rather square-topped derby. It was whispered in awed tones by some that it had been brought by one of his ancestors in the Mayflower. Rev. Philip Washburn, however, in whose honor, by the way, the present Ath- letic Field is named, did not regard such Pilgrim traditions highly. His Episcopalian sense of the aesthetic — not to say the artistic — was offended by that hat. As the game neared its close, amid a suspense which was worse than being hung, Mr. Washburn kept faithfully near to President Slocum; and when the last score was made, giving C. C. the coveted pen- nant, down came the Episcopalian hand (the Episcopalians believe in the laying on of hands) upon the Congregational hat, and great was the fall thereof ! There was an added furor to the already tumultuous yell- ing, and the next day President Slo- cum wore a new hat — whether Epis- copalian or Congregational nobody asked, for it was becoming. During this period the College opened its Music Department, and this gave impetus to the growth tow- ard a larger culture. The Music Department encouraged the starting of a men ' s glee club, and, somewhat later, a glee club among the young women. Both. I understand, have since matured into splendid organiz- ations. There is perhaps no logical AULD LANG SYNE. o connection, yet it is interesting to observe that soon after the Music Department and the glee clubs came the minstrel shows, which had an exceedingly interesting place in the student life. In no direction, however, was the development of ' those years more marked than in literary work and in the Christian Associations. A very high standard was maintained by the Apollonians and the Minervas. The Collegian was a most creditable paper. And the annual oratorical contest and the annual prize debate did great credit to the College. All these gave their tribute of intellec- tual strength and of college loyalty to the students. The activity of the Christian Associations was also very marked and very helpful. The Sun- day afternoon meetings, the evange 1 istic meeting at the jail and at Col - orado City, and the evening prayers regularly maintained at Hagerman Hall exerted powerful influences for ood upon a great majority of tbe fellows. The crowning accomplishment of this period, however, was the com pletion of the $200,000.00 Pearsons Endowment Fund. When the stu- dents pledged their efforts to raise the last $10,000.00 what a burst of enthusiasm there was ! Class work was forgotten, recitation roo.ns locked, books dropped, and students and faculty paraded the streets for two hours! - And when President S ' ocum was placed in a carriage and drawn by a score of the students, evervbody recognized the appropri- ateness of the tribute. Would that I might speak a fit- ting word of praise for each of the faculty, of that time. If I choose one, however, those who shared the splendid life of those days wil! un- derstand. Idie quiet, persuasive in- fluence of Miss Marion McGregor Noyes upon the student body — who shall spe ak fittingly of it ! Always busy, working day and night, yet never too busy for a helpful, encour- aging chat with some discouraged or perplexed student! The young men and the young women both sought her. All loved her. And happy were they who followed her counsel. As for President Slocum, he was busy in those days planning and building what you now enjoy; and you who see him from day to day are gently envied by some of us who were of the Old Guard. Dwight S. Bayley, ' 97. 1897-1901 It is impossible to begin to do jus- tice in a thousand words to that which can be told adequately only in a book. Then, too, it takes a few decades before one views events in their true light and gets at their real inwardness ; a few years ' retrospect will not eliminate the personal ele- ment and prejudices from matters that have happened. Therefore, if the writer omits detail, fails to in- clude important events, and then to make the article still more faulty, proceeds to run athwart and oppose the reader ' s set ideas of the period from 1897 to 1 90 1, and even to crit- icise perhaps, it is all because of in- ability and a perverted viewpoint. Take warning! This is not a his- tory; it is merely a recollection jot- ted clown in a couple of hours. All of us know that material pros- perity marked the life of the College during the four years mentioned. i?4 AULD LANG SYNE. The Pearsons fund was completed, Ticknor and Perkins Halls were built, the foundation of the new- Palmer Hall was begun, and Wash- burn Field came out of the swamp below the Observatory. But in things not tangible, too, the College veritably put on seven-league boots and took some mighty strides for- ward. It was during this period that class spirit, College loyalty and pride, and a dozen and one other attributes which go to give an institution inher- ent individuality, were developed more than ever before. The exact reasons for all this are difficult to apprehend. No doubt, material pros- perity of the College brought in large numbers of students and new blood. But we must go hack of these, even, to find some of the real reasons for our advance. There were forerun- ners in some of the early classes who had in them a tremendous desire to bring things to pass for Colorado College. Some of them w r ere a lit- tle conceited themselves, but it was a Godsend that they were so, for the College in those days was in some re- spects, at least, in the high school class, and consenuentlv some blind and unreasoning - force was necessary in order to believe what was very far off indeed. No better illustration of this early spirit can be found than to give an illustration of one of the many things that culminated in the Col- lege ' s first championship in football in T899. The class of 1900 was not responsible for that feat, much less the class of tqoi. Tndeed we must- go back to the old timers of 1898 and others of their ilk to find how that championship was won. Dur- ing the course of the class of 1898, the writer has heard many of that class say that it was their one desire in athletics to win a championship in football before they left Yet they never won one. And yet, again, they never gave up trying . It was their efforts and determination and perseverance that got into the blood of after classes, and finally won out over all obstacles. During the Freshman year of the class of 1898, no game was played with the U. of C. ; in 1895 ne score was 38 to to in favor of the U. of C. ; in 1896, 50 to o in favor of U. of C. ; in 1897, 8 to o, also in favor of U. of C, and in 1898, after the old guard had left the College without a championship, came the deluge — for Boulder. Pastor Holt, of 1898, could not run 100 yards in 18 seconds, big. long, loose, left-guard that he was, if you had merely made him run to see how fast he could go it. But 311 1896, when Joe Rogers, one of the fastest men on the Boulder team, got the ball on a fumble and raced down the field with about seventy yards to go for a touchdown, Holt set out after him while the remainder of the College team sat hack on their haunches and watched the would-be race. But the preacher had the devil in him that day, and how he did run ! He threw Rogers on about the five- yard line and saved a touchdown. But that tackle did not save the game for it was already lost by about 40 to o. The writer well remembers that he had hied himself away to sit on the high board fence in order to escape the captain ' s eye and thus save the necessity of going in as a substitute, when he witnessed Holt ' s great run. Suffice it to say that the writer came down, and was never after that afraid to do his best. They do tell, too, that the long AULD LANG SYNE. 17 o minister felt a diabolical resentful- ness towards Rogers, for the latter had been a strident at the College the year previous. The spirit of the class of 1898! What an example for classes, now and to be, at the College ! Why does not some incoming class set about to win a football championship dur- ing its course? Other classes would catch the spirit and a championship could much more easily be won now than then. Timber, training table, coach,- — all are necessary. But what are indispensable and a con- dition precedent to a winning team, are a healthy ambition and enthusi- asm to win, which are only increased by defeat. All future candidates should take one of Dr. Holt ' s pills. The name and reputation of the College outside of its own doors in- creased wonderfully from 1897 to 1901. Not only was the town solid- ly behind us, but, we were becoming known up and down the land throughout the state. About the way that happened was that every student who got a modicum or over of genuine and sincere loyal- ty went to his home town, and told his friends of what wonderful things happened at the College. All of these in turn watched the papers for references to the Col- lege, and when the student returned again, he was both surprised and de- lighted to find that now his friends were telling him about the College. Every student got the habit of say- ing a good word for the College, in and out, of season. During those years the College paper was an entity, too. and was alive. It was a booster in words and in deeds. An editorial never ap- peared with the caption in leaded type of Boost, Don ' t Knock , which was followed by criticising the fellows for not playing with more ginger, the student body for not cheering more lustily, the faculty, coach, and other departments gen- erally for all manner of things. P ' .oulder and Golden never learned the true state of our feelings through the College paper. The editors found that by a continuous season of real boosting , their tempers were kept sweeter, anyway. The best illustration of (he writ- er ' s idea will be found in the Tiger of May 3, TS99. On April 30 of that year the School of Mines had succeeded in administering a crush- ing defeat to the hitherto invincible and boastful College team, by the score of to to 4, and the College had succeeded in making as many errors ns the Miners had scores. Yet the Tiger of the above date commented in an editorial on that game as fol- lows : TO TTTE AVORK. We hate to see our team lose, es- pecially on bad errors, when we be- lieve we have the best team in the state. But courage, fellows. Did you hear that rooting Saturday? That means that every student and professor in the College and Acad- emy, and every friend in the town i back of yon, and that we are de- pending on you to win the silver bat. Get down and work. Put into your work the spirit that will never say die. Then we are sure that ours will be the victory. One defeat does not mean loss of the champion- ship. Work and win. fellows for old C. C. Give Boulder such a warm reception next Saturday that she will feel once more as she did the last time she met the Timers. 176 ACLD LANG SYNE. The best the fellows could do with Boulder was 5 to 5, and then, after another such editorial as the above, Golden was beaten 9 to 4, and the championship won again. Any old timer would guess that the editorial above bears the ear-marks of one Roy M. McClintock, a loyal who was so saturated with loyalty that he .would die for the team as well as write for it, if necessary. Now more particularly of the year 1900-1901. It might truly be said that the class of 1901, when it came to run the College, had a tremen- dous work to do, if we were to con- tinue in former lines. In front of us, the little but mighty man. Brown- ing, and that class of leaders, the class of 1900, had gone out to be in the vanguard no more. Behind us came the insurgent class of 1902. This class seemed to have a penchant for fighting everything and every- body. They fought the classes, the faculty, and when thev couldn ' t fight outsiders, they would turn and rend themselves. The boys of the class picked a scrap with the girls at class meeting, and the girls went a step further when the Hall girls got it in for the town girls, and vice versa, and so ad infinitum. At an- other rung of the ladder lower down was the class of 1903, which had al- ways been known for its peaceable and docile qualities, and it ever seemed willing to do as bid ; while the class of T904, was too infantile to do much except to bear the name of Freshman . Yet it can fairly be said that, notwithstanding all of these incongruous elements, the class of 1901 succeeded in doing its full share in giving the College a most successful year. . Another football championship was won, although we lost the base- ball pennant after beating Boulder twice. We were successful in debate against University of Nebraska, but died our usual easy death in Oratory. The class had the satisfaction of see- ing the Insurgents produce a cred- itable Nugget , and also, of feast- ing on the barbecue prepared by the Sophomores. The good old cane rush, where a bloody nose had been mistaken by the faculty for a man ' s lung and other vitals, had long had a quietus put upon it by that august body; and in its place we had some thrillingly exciting tug-of-war, and button-button -who ' s- got-the-button contests, etc. This was the year, too, when Chilly Frost stole the bell- clapper and Prexy was after a Mexican for it. And it was exactly four years before this, when Chilly, then a student in the High School, tried to blow up the flag pole with powder, and Prexy spent valuable College funds in hiring a detective to run to earth the dastardly and vicious mutilator of College prop- erty. Many other strange things might be written here, but it were best that they be not disclosed, other- wise some mischievous and froward student might again try to perpe- trate some of ye ancient pranks. Those were good old days, and the class of 1901 begs everybody ' s pardon, classes gone before, and that are and that are to be, if we insist that you could never have as good a time as we had ; you could never be as good, or perhaps, it would be bet- ter to say, as great a class as we were ; and you could never run the College as well as we did. Vale. Ben Griffith, 1901. AULD LANG SYNE. 177 1898-1092 In the fall of 1898 when the class of 1902 entered Colorado College, the affairs of the College were, in a way, at a turning point. The Col- lege spirit and loyalty that had fought against odds so nobly for so long were just beginning to meet with some of their just rewards and to taste some of the blisses of vic- tory. The championship in football had never been won by Colorado College, and. although it was lost again for ' 98, it was lost by so close a score as to seem almost a victory. Later in the year the baseball cham- pionship, which had been held for some seasons, was recaptured, and the Glee Club met with more success and appreciation than ever in its past history- The number of students, larger at the opening of the fall term than ever before, was increased by fresh arrivals throughout the year, many students coming from eastern col- leges to spend a year or two in die sdorious climate of Colorado, and ia the bracing, ambitious and demo- cratic atmosphere of Colorado Col- lege. These ' students, of course, brought the ideals and traditions of their older colleges, all of which worked as leaven to produce a higher ideal of what a complete and well- rounded college couse should com- prise. The social side of life gained in importance and the value of its training was more appreciated. The succeeding autumn, 1899, the coveted football championship was won for the first time, and with it the hearts and sympathies of the pop- ulace, who, up to that time, had re- fused to take Colorado College ath- letics very seriously. Now. how- ever, the people awakened to a sense of pride and loyalty, loosened their purse strings, attended the games, and lionized the players, all of which naturally marie the teams play better. Athletic victories followed thick and fast after this until, for a year or two, victory seemed to be a matter of course, although reverses came again in time, as they are bound to do. During this year the work of so- cieties and clubs grew to be more- of a feature of college life. Apollonian, Pearsons and Minerva were already in existence, but seemed to take on a new lease of life. Contemporary was organized at this time and Mil- tonian a year or so later. Member- ship in a society was considered a much more desirable thing than hith- erto, and the training afforded, both intellectual and social, left a decided impression upon the student charac- ter. During the last of the four vears of which T am to speak, that is 1901- 02, certain reactionary tendencies seemed to have set in, but such things are inevitable in any college and arc really a sign of growth rather than of decay, as some are inclined to be- lieve. Such tendencies have their purpose and work for the ultimate good. In general this last year was char- acterized by a growth in earnestness in breadth and in dignity of the stu- dent life. Marian K. Williams. ' 02. 1 7 8 AULD LANG SYNE. OF 1903 The account of that portentious meeting which marks the birth of the class of 1903, contains besides the names of the officers chosen, and the selection of those descriptive pink and green colors, the decision that a Progressive Cat party be given at the Kinnikinnick. Progressive Cat to the ordinary mortal has a very harmless sound, to be sure, but 1903 will always associate the game with red-pepper, caned Profs, and a scrap of felt in the memory book labeled Tracy Love ' s Hat . So much has been written and sung of the far-famed Battle of the Kin- nikinnick, that it seems necessary for us to say merely that it won us the confidence of our friends, the Juniors, and the respect and admira- tion of our foes, the Sophs and Sen- iors . It is also noted in the history of the higher institution of learn- ing as the last unregulated class scrap . Our physical prowess was again proven in the class contest with the Sophs arranged by the spirit com- mittee. Here it was that 1903 dem- onstrated such speed in consuming molasses and gingerbread, that 1902 was forced to display agility in climbing and remaining in its syca- more tree . The last interesting event of the Freshman year, was to have been the football game with the hostile and chagrined Sophs. But after six days ' practice, the Fates pitied the feelings of the Sophs, and by inclement weather spared them from what would have been, to them, an un- speakable result. This period in the life of the Col- lege is marked by the joy of the com- pletion and dedication of the Perkins Hall, and by the general and deep sorrow at the death of much-loved Prof. Doudna. After our easy victory, as Sophs, over Freshmen in the cane-rush, faculty suggestions and scrap com- mittee resolutions dampened our ar- dor for the display of physical pow- ers. So it was that 1903 turned its attention to intellectual pursuits, and with such success that it came off, at Commencement time, with more honors than any other class. Our spare time, we employed in distin- guishing ourselves oratorically, ath- letically, and socially. We gave a successful barbecue, we masquerad- ed, we had kodak parties, and we picnicked — in the moonlight. We also elected a board to publish the Nugget. And on this fact we base claims as accomplished politicians. Our Junior vear was devoted largely to good-fellowship and sem- inars. Yet in addition to these time- taking efforts, we won a baseball game and published an annual. Af- ter so many hours spent in editing this interesting volume, we expected to gain at least a credit or two in ap- preciation of our eminent services. But alas ! we found that owing to injudicious mention of certain pro- fessorial peculiarities, we received from the Faculty what was vulgarly described as the cobble-stone eye. It was with our assistance that the cornerstone of the splendid monu- ment to President Slocum ' s untiring and indomitable zeal and enthusiasm — Palmer Hall — was laid. And we regretted only that we could not de- cently remain undergrads until the completion and occupation of that wonderful building. AULD LANG SYNE. 179 Our Senior year, with its mis- taken matrimonial attempts in cel- ebration of Insignia Day, and its wishes to display histrionic abili- ty, was not a very pleasing period in our history, nor one received with demonstrations of joy by the Facul- ty. Individually, however, we believe ourselves to have been makers of history and statistics. Through our members we led every department of College activity — we kicked forty- two-yard Princetons, we captained football teams, Ave presided over so- cieties, we edited Annuals and Ti- gers, and we financ ed everything from football to stag balls. We claim that we were constructive also, for did we not lay the cornerstone of McGregor ? In all our vicissitudes, we believe that we have enjoyed ourselves and taken ourselves seriously. It pleases us to think that we have triumphed oftener than failed, and above all that we have succeeded in fostering a spirit of lovalty and good-fellow- ship which in future years will ever bring a smile and a sigh for the memory of 03.

ACT I, SCENE I. Time : Morning. Place : Library at the Meads. {Enter Margaret and Patty in golf costume, with sleeves rolled up. carrying golf clubs, etc. ) PATTY — Dear, but I am hot ! Why did you ever make me go around twice? MARGARET — Make you, indeed, as if I had not been begging you to come in for the last two hours ! PATTY — That ' s right, blame it all off on me. Have it your own way, of course. Being naturally of the most angelic disposition, I shall bear it with my usual martyr-like spirit and meekly bow my head. MARGARET — Oh, Patty, you silly thing ! I never did see anybody who could talk so long about absolutely nothing. I would like to see you quiet once. I believe I shall call you Prattling Patty. PATTY — One might remark in passing that you seem fairly well able to keep up your end. But if you will pardon me for mentioning it, I am starv- ing hungry. Of course, as guest, it is not just my place to bring up the subject, but I thought somebody ought to, you know . MARGARET — Good idea, how does iced coffee strike you? That will keep you quiet anyhow. Pll go and see how things look in the pantry. — Pre- pare yourself. I have a deep-laid scheme to put before you. It is very exciting. (Exit. PATTY — I only wish it were something really exciting. T shall certainly evaporate if this keeps on much longer. Talk about your Simple Life , T am becoming a living exponent. I would give my kingdom for a man, and when I say a man T don ' t mean a married man, and don ' t mean a man in love — that is, unless he is in love with me! If there is anything tiresome and soul-revolting, it is a man in love with another girl ! (Enter Margaret bearing tray with pitcher and tall glasses.) PATTY (ensconced comfortably in a Morris chair) — You come like showers to a drooping primrose. Oh, there is a new Life ! What joy to refresh oneself mentally and physically at the same time. 1 82 JACK NICHOLS, MARGARET — There, don ' t take that or I shan ' t get another word out of you. You make me so tired, always grabbing up a Life as soon as you get in the house. Now if it were anything improving, like the man who read all Shakespeare, all Dickens, and all Thackeray, while he was waiting for dinner, why — PATTY — Goodness, must have been a slow cook. I believe I would have dismissed her and gotten a new one. MARGARET — Now, Patty, there are no two ways about it, we must do something. PATTY (shortly)— Shan ' t! MARGARET — Now, don ' t be contrary, you don ' t know what it is yet. PATTY — No, but I am sure I shouldn ' t want to do it this hot day. MARGARET — Don ' t worry, you old lazy bones, you won ' t have to move. I just want to ask your advice. You see it is about Nell and Crosby. PATTY — What about them? They are about the last people I should be worrying over. They seem so absolutely contented. MARGARET — That is just the trouble. You see there is nothing doing. She hasn ' t anyone else to take up her mind, and he is getting so sure of her that I don ' t like it. PATTY — Why, what have you against nice old Cros? MARGARET — I haven ' t anything particularly against him, any more than any man that likes my sister. I have never seen anyone yet that was good enough for her. I guess I have known Crosby too long to get very much excited over him. PATTY — Well, what do you propose to do about it? MARGARET — Now listen ! You and I have plotted and schemed ever since we were born and we ought to be able to think of some way out of the difficulty. What we need is another man in love with Nell, so that things won ' t be quite so simple for Crosby, you know. Now, where can we get one ? PATTY (after a little thought) — Why, we can ' t get one. We must invent one! MARGARET — Lovely ! Then we must plan where he is to come from, what his name is, and all about hm. Now I think — (Noise in the hall. Patty and Margaret both put glasses hastily behind them.) (Enter Elinor with work-basket, sewing, etc.) ELINOR — Thought you had something to eat ! PATTY (guiltily producing glass) — We thought it was one of the boys. MARGARET (shaking with laughter) — What would you call that — instinct? PATTY — Bred and bawn in a briar patch. Brer Fox ! Guess I have not lived in this house all these years without learning that it is not only the custom, but the only safe way to do when you hear a step in the hall! MARGARET — That ' s the worst of a big family, you never can tell when you sit down to a modest little luncheon for two, how many wll be on hand before you get your half! A FARCE. 183 ELINOR — What are you doing? Anything interesting in the air £ MARGARET — No, there is nothing doing, except — (hesitates and adds hastily) Except that Jack Nichols may he around soon. ELINOR— Jack Nichols, who is Jack Nichols? MARGARET — Why, Elinor Mead, I am thoroughly ashamed of you ! You don ' t mean to say that you have forgotten Jack Nichols, whom you met when you were visiting the Harringtons last year ? PATTY — Yes, that friend of Rob Harrington, Harvard, 1900, big fellow, played on the varsity. I don ' t see how you could forget him when lie took such a fancy to you. MARGARET — Yes, comes from Winchester, has loads of money, three automobiles, and a — PATTY — Bull pup, and is very fond of music; plays the piano, banjo and mandolin, and — MARGARET — Jew ' s harp; he is a crack tennis player, loves to travel- been abroad three times, around the world and — (Enter Philip.) PHILIP — Hullo! Quite a stranger, Patty, haven ' t seen you for nearly a day ! Where have you been keeping yourself ! Who ' s this wonderful guy whose virtues you have been cataloguing, while I have been hunting for my racket in the hall ? PATTY— (drawling, bored tone)— Oh, Nell ' s latest. ELINOR (indignantly) — It ' s nothing of the kind! I don ' t know what you infants are talking about, I am sure! I never heard anything so silly! MARGARET — Of course, Nell dear, if you would not blush so furiously it would add a little credence to your remarks. PHILIP — Yes, Nell, I should say as much. You look as if you never heard of him or anything so silly ! PATTY — Just because a man is crazy about you, and wants to come and see you all the time, and you are going automobiling with him Sunday, is no — ELINOR — I ' m not going Sunday, I — PATTY — Oh, aren ' t you? Oh well, if you have scruples about Sunday. I am sure he would gladly set another day ! ELINOR (rising quickly and going to door) — Reallv, you people are too unbearable. I don ' t believe I can stand you any longer! Let me know when you feel as if you could talk sense again. (Exit. (General laugh.) PHILIP — Why- this loo ks quite hopeful ! W r e shall have to warn Cros to look out for himself, Nell seems so touchy on the subject of this new man! Awfully sorry, but I ' m afraid I must tear myself away too. See you later. (Exit. MARGARET (hugging Patty)— Wasn ' t it great? I haven ' t had so much fun for a month ! PATTY — What a corking man we made between us! I believe I ' d like him myself ! 1 84 JACK NICHOLS, MARGARET — Can ' t have him, sweetness. He ' s mine if anything is left when Nell gets through with him! (Curtain. ACT II. SCENE I. finie : Evening of next clay. Place: The Meads ' Lbrary. Margaret sewing, Philip striding about room. PHILIP — Ghastly stupid with Nell gone! You are like a dummy, Mar- garet. Say something, can ' t you? MARGARET — Nothing to say; never had such a stupid time! One day is just like another. Wish there could be something doing. If you hoys were not so fearfully slow it might be possible to have a little fun once in a while. PHILIP — Well, don ' t include me, please, I ' m not in love . Crosby is absolutely useless since he lost his head over Nell ! How are the mighty fallen ! Who would have ever thought Cros capable of such idiocy? Nell is a corking girl, if she is my sister, but I can ' t say that I think it necessary to go quite daft over her. Now, of course, I have to hang around here all the evening just because Cros said he might, be around. If you were only Nell you would be of some use, and I could gracefully retire and pursue my own course of action. MARGARET (shrugging her shoulders) — For goodness ' sake, don ' t hesitate on my account! I suppose I can sacrifice myself, and listen to Nell ' s charms the rest of the evening, if it is necessary for the good of the cause. (Enter Crosby. Confusion on Margaret ' s part.) PHILIP — Hullo, old man, just talking about you. Margaret was trying to get me out of the way, so that she could have a cosy little tete-a-tete with you when you came. CROSBY (looking around for Elinor) — Well, go along, Phil, don ' t let me keep you. (Looks around again.) Don ' t believe I can stay but a minute anyhow. MARGARET— Oh yes, Cros, do stay. It ' s awfully dull! We are just bored to extinction. I wish there was some one else and we could have a game of whist. PHILIP-— Good work, where ' s Patty? What ' s she doing tonight? Guess I ' ll ' phone her to come over. She ' ll break the monotony, you may be sure. You can always depend on Patty for that. MARGARET — Yes, tell her she must come and save us from despair. (Philip goes to telephone.) PHILIP (telephoning) — 318 Red, please — yes, 3-1-8 Red — Hullo, is this 3-1-8 Red? — (Scowls.) Do I want 3-1-8 Red? Well, of course. Did you think I was practising football signals? MARGARET — One would almost suppose it would be quicker to run across the street and ask Patty ! PHILIP (ringing up violently again) — Hullo, deuce take you. Why dont ' you give me — Oh, Patty, excuse me, T thought you were that chump of a Central, don ' t know how I could have mistaken your dulcet tones! You A FARCE. 1 8 J o are looking fine this evening, why don ' t you come over and give us the benefit? We have quite a select little party here, Cros, Peg and I. Thought maybe you would come over and play whist. Will you? All right. I ' ll be over for you right off. (To Margaret) She ' s coming. (Exit. MARGARET — What have you been doing all day? CROSBY (grumpily)— Nothing. MARGARET— Been around the links? CROSBY— Yes. MARGARET— Make a good score? CROSBY— No. (Pause. ) MARGARET — Nell ' s out to tea tonight. Seems lonely without her, doesn ' t it? CROSBY (feelingly)— I should say it did! (Enter Philip and Patty.) ALL— Hullo! PATTY — Cheer up, Cros, I have come to beat you again ! CROSBY — Stump you! Let ' s put up some peanuts and then Phil will run clown town and get them! (Seat themselves about table, Crosby and Margaret, Patty and Philip. Philip brings cards, shuffles, deals, etc., and they play.) PATTY — I hate to play unless I can win, so if I begin to lose I shall go home ! CROSBY — Take your dolls and go home? PATTY — Yes, and my tin kitchen. PHILIP singing softly) — You can ' t holler clown my rain barrel, I don ' t like you any more, You ' ll be sorry when you see me Sliding down my cellar door! MARGARET — Cros, I beat Patty three holes up, this morning, and she was awfully put out. It ' s queer how much tireder she gets when she loses! PATTY — I don ' t care, it was hotter than love in haying time, and be- sides, I haven ' t been around the course for a week. PHILIP — Stop your scrapping and play the game! That ' s just like girls, they have to talk so much that they never do notice what thev are playing. (Margaret peers out of window.) PHILIP — What ' s the matter, Peg? It ' s nothing but an auto! Anyone would think you came from Squeclunk, and never saw anything but hay carts. MARGARET (still peering) — 1 was trying to see if it were stopping here. T thought maybe it was lack. PHILIP ' ) , , v T , , -, CROSBY I ( P roni P tl y) — Jack who? MARGARET (severely to Philip)— Tack Nichols, of course! PHILIP— Oh ! MARGARET — I was almost afraid he would appear while Nell was gone. 1 86 JACK NICHOLS, PATTY — That would have heen a calamity ! CROSBY (growls) — Who ' s Jack Nichols, anyway? PHILIP (lightly) — Oh, one of the thousands of Nell ' s slain — Hearts are trumps, Patty, where ' s your mind tonight? CROSBY (dreamily) — Hearts are trumps. PHILIP (disgustedly) — Sorry you are losing your mind, old man, we have been waiting some time for you to play ! PATTY — Margaret, did you hear Nell say Jack was going to bring his sister up soon in the auto? PHILIP (hopefully) — Sister any good? MARGARET — No, rather young for you! PATTY — I wish Jack would come, even if Nell isn ' t here! I believe I ' d rather be would come when she ' s gone! CROSBY (aside) — You bet, so would I! PATTY — And then there would be a little show for the rest of us. CROSBY (sarcastically) — Are you intending to take up the cause of the unfortunate youth ? PATTY — Oh, I don ' t know. I might if I were sufficiently urged. CROSBY — If that is all you are waiting for let me urge you. He would feel flattered, I am sure. He is a most estimable young man. PATTY — How do you know? You don ' t know anything about him, do you ? CROSBY (sarcastically) — No, but I ' m pining to. MARGARET (readily) — Why, there is nothing about him only he is a rich young Harvard man, who seems to think Nell is all that is necessary to a man ' s happiness. CROSBY (grumpily) — Seems to have good taste, I ' ll say that much for him, even if he does swear by the crimson. MARGARET — He lives in Winchester but that is but a moment in an auto. CROSBY — I have a cousin in Winchester. Guess I will have to ask him about this husky young Nichols. MARGARET (hastily) — Oh, he hasn ' t been there for some time. He ' s been abroad. CROSBY (brightening) — Going abroad, did you say? MARGARET (laughing and looking at Patty ) — No, indeed, not at present! No attractions abroad! PHILIP ( who for some time has been looking more and more disgusted, rises and throws his cards on the table) — You people play whist as if it were tiddledy winks. I beg to be excused. PATTY — Oh, I ' m sorry, Phil. I ' ll be good — we could beat them easily. PHILIP — I know it. I hate to take their peanuts. I should expect to see Peg trump her partner ' s ace in another hand ! CROSBY (looking out of window ami at watch) — Well, I must be going now, I think it ' s going to rain. MARGARET — Oh no, please don ' t go! It ' s so early, and maybe if you stav you ' ll see Jack. A FARCE. CROSBY — Can ' t really say that ' s a matter of life or death with me. PATTY — Now, Cros, don ' t be disagreeable. Maybe Nell will appear and then your patience will be rewarded. Sit down, do! CROSBY— Can ' t, really ! PATTY — Have yon tried ? Yon never can tell what yon can do till yon try. Like the girl who looked into her ear with her eye. She found she conld do it if she put her mind to it, you know. CROSBY (groans) — Patty, how can yon! PHILIP — How are your spirits about the game, Cros? CROSBY — Way np, of course. PHILIP — Well, I ' d hardly expect yon to down Yale in a rabid Harvard crowd like this. CROSBY — Yon never saw a son of old Eli that would do that under any circumstances, I ' ll venture to say. PATTY— Who ' s going to take Nell, Peg? MARGARET — I have a suspicion that maybe Jack will. PHILIP — Well, I ' ll be glad to see Nell return to the fold once more, for she is the only one in this family who ever dared show leanings toward Yale — all due respect to you, Cros. CROSBY (groans) — Oh don ' t mind me, this is a free country. PATTY — Nell will look stunning all in crimson, won ' t she? Do you suppose he ' ll send her Jacque roses ? MARGARET — I am ashamed of you, Patty. {Enter Elinor.) ALL EXCEPT CROSBY— Hullo! PHILIP — What did you bother to come home at all for, Nell C ELINOR — Why, I have not been gone long. PHILIP — No, but long enough to miss somebody. CROSBY (aside) — The cur, why hasn ' t he been here if she expected him? PHILIP — Don ' t get excited, he didn ' t come, after all. ELINOR (looking conscious) — You silly thing, what are you talking about ? MARGARET (aside to Patty) — We have got her right on a string. She looks as guilty as if she had been caught out at the canon. ELINOR (appealingly to Crosby while the rest talk together) — Don ' t pay any attention to their nonsense. CROSBY (aside) — That ' s all right, I ' ll not butt in, if it ' s as bad as this. (To Elinor) So you have been taking to automobiling lately. How do you like it? ELINOR (confused) — I — I — I don ' t care for it very much. (Aside) What a fool I am. Why can ' t I tell him? CROSBY (aside) — It ' s a shame to tease her. (To Elinor) 1 hear you are going to wear your cavalier ' s colors to the game, Saturday. ELINOR (looking down) — Yes, if he asks me to go. CROSBY (aside) — Jove, it ' s all up with me! Could not break up that! Curse the luck (To Elinor) Oh, von may be sure he will. (Shakes him- 1 88 JACK NICHOLS, self and turns abruptly, while Elinor looks after him surprised. To Patty) Come Patty let ' s go home. PATTY — Oh, all right, 1 expect it is time. That ' s one thing about me, I never do know enough to go . I always make it a point to pound myself when I leave a house, for staying so long and talking so much. (Tragically) 1 have a horror of wearing out my welcome! PHILIP (as all laugh) — I would not lie awake nights worrying about your welcome in this house. PATTY — Well, good night. I ' ll see you in the morning. I ' ll be ready to beat anyone at tennis, so you ' d better all be ready. — Tired, Nell? You look like a rag and ;i bone! Good bye! CROSBY (grumpily) — Good night MARGARET (aside) — It ' s working like a charm., Cros looks ready to bite somebody ' s head off. 1 don ' t envy Patty. It ' s hei fault, anyway. I am glad I ' m not to blame. (Curtain. SCENE II. Time : The next morning ' . Place: The Meads ' Library. Margaret at piano. Elinor dusting briskly. Philip seated writing at desk, in alcove screened off so that he is visible to audience, but not to people on stage. At first he is absorbed in work, but gradually becomes interested in conversation, and throughout scene makes ap- propriate gestures and exclamations. ELINOR — I don ' t care what you say, I don ' t think it ' s funny at all. It ' s the most childish joke I ever heard of, and I never saw such infants! I would like to buy you some rattles and keep you amused, if you are so hard up! I am just disgusted, and I don ' t care what you say! (Enter Patty.) PATTY — Hullo, up so early! Why, Nell, aren ' t you pretty energetic for ths hour of the morning? MARGARET — Her wrath lends fire to her very finger tips. I never did see anyone in such a temper! (Shakes with laughter.) PATTY — Oh, that reminds me. Do let me tell you about last night! (Sits down.) I wish you could have seen Cros, Peg, going home. I never saw anyone so in the dumps. I could hardly get a word out of him. And then, listen, he stumbled over a stone or something and said, — well, my natural delicacy forbids me to repeat what he did say, but I nearly gave up! Think of Cros saying thatl Why, I would as soon have thought of saying it myself! Of course, I suppose he does say such things occasionally, but lie must have been awfully worked up to say it to me. But really, I felt right sorry for him, he looked so pathetic. Nell, aren ' t you ashamed to treat him so ? ELINOR (i ndignantly) — You young scamps, I ' d like to fix you with your old Jack Nichols! (Margaret and Pattv overcome with laughter.) MARGARET— But didn ' t Nell enter into 1 it finely last night? Her blushing and conscious expression passed our fondest expectations. You were terribly good to help us out so, Nell ! A FARCE. 1 89 ELINOR — I didn ' t want to help you out. PATTY — Well, why did you then? If yon didn ' t like it, why didn ' t you explain the situation? ELINOR (helplessly) — I don ' t know why I didn ' t — I tried to, hut some- how I couldn ' t, — you were all so silly! MARGARET — Oh, it was lovely, and 1 just hugged myself to see Cros getting grumpier and grumpier! That was a fine touch, Patty, making him ;i Harvard man ! ELINOR (quickly)— Why, what did you say? ,. PATTY- — Why, we just wondered if Jack would lake you to I lie game and you would wear red for Harvard. We thought that would work Cros up a little, for he ' s never heen quite sure where your sympathies were. ELINOR (aside) — If they only knew! (To Patty) Well. I hope you are satisfied. I see where I stay away from the game ! MARGARET— Oh, bless you no. He ' ll ask you all right, It only makes it a little more interesting for both of you; for him the excitement of a rival, and tor you the unheard of event of two men at once. I think we are doing quite an act of charity, don ' t you, Patty? I should think they would he thankful to us instead of being so disagreeable. PATTY (shaking finger at Elinor) — Ingratitude, thou marble-hearted fiend! But it will be many a day before I forget the hopeless look on Crosby ' s face last night. ELINOR (putting head on arms on table, breaks into sobs) — I hope you ' ll be satisfied if you break everything up! . PATTY — Oh, Nell, darling, we didn ' t know von cared. MARGARET— Don ' t cry so, it will be all right. We ' ll fix it up. I didn ' t suppose you felt like this. PATTY — There, don ' t, please. We ' ll tell him all about it and make him ask you to the game, and then I ' ll stand right over him and punch him until he proposes ! ELINOR (excitedly) — If you ever tell him one word of this, I ' ll never forgive you! Think how I should feel ! I should never get over it! Promise both of you — it ' s the least you can do if you are really sorry. MARGARET (meekly) — I solemnly promise. PATTY — Hope to die and choke to death if I ever breathe a word of it! So help me, any good spirit that will hear me in passing, for mine are all evil ! (Noise in hall.) ELINOR — Quick, let me go, I look like a fright! (Exit. MARGARET— Now we have done it! PATTY — I guess T know it! Just as soon as I get out of one scrape I get into another. I believe there is a kind of imp of mischief in me that is always getting me into trouble. MARGARET — It wasn ' t any more your fault than mine; It was I that put you up to it, PATTY (mournfully) — Whatever made us think of that abominable old lack Nichols. iqo JACK NICHOLS, MARGARET — If we could only get rid of him someway. I suppose we might blow him up in his automobile, or — PATTY — Have him drowned in a trip around the world — MARGARET — Or murdered for his money we talked so much about. PATTY (laughing hysterically) — Or eaten by his bull pup! MARGARET — Patty.how can you laugh about it? PATTY — I don ' t want to any more than you do ,but I can ' t seem to help it, it ' s all so ridiculous. I guess you ' ll have to take him yourself, Peg! MARGARET — Woe is me if my fate for the rest of my life be Jack- Nichols ! PATTY — You are not very consistent, it seems to me. If he was good enough for your adored Nell, he ought to be good enough for you. Just let me run over his charms for you once, and you will see what a paragon he is ! MARGARET (with gesture of protest) — Don ' t! Paragon! I should think he is ! He does not seem to have any faults at all ! PATTY — I think myself that you are very particular. After having a man made to order for you, you require faults. I ' m afraid you ' ll be an old maid all right, I ' m sorry, but you are what I call f-u-s-s-y, fastidious! MARGARET (singing softly)— If T die an old maid I ' ll have only myself to blame. Oh, dear ' but this r- not helping affairs any! We have still got to do something. The game is coming on, and everything will go wrong, and I can ' t bear to see Nell so broken up. PATTY-— Well. I ' m glad your sympathies are touched at last. I nearly told the whole affair to Cros the other night, I was so upset. Poor thing, he looked as if there were nothing left in the world to hope for. MARGARET— If Phil only knew, he could help us out, PATTY (quickly) — Well, I guess not! I ' d rather have anyone in the world know than Phil. MARGARET (helplessly)— Et tu, Brute! Has it come to this? The plot thickens ! As for me, I don ' t care who knows ! PATTY— Except Jack Nichols. MARGARET (groans)— Oh, that old JackNichols! How I wish he had never entered my brain! He will haunt me to the day of my death! (Enter Philip from behind screen. Gasp from Margaret. Patty shrieks and buries head in cushions. ) PHILIP — I can ' t stand it any longer, T feel like a criminal! T didn ' t intend to listen, on my word, T didn ' t, But I was writing, and before I knew it T was in your little joke . Then I thought if you ' d been playing one on me, I ' d just get even with you. Then I heard too much, I was ashamed to tell. I could not get out, and T did not know what to do! But I could not stand it any longer, and I humbly crave forgiveness! (All during speech keeps eyes on Patty.) I really don ' t expect any sympathy from Patty after she has stated her feeling in the matter so clearly, though I do feel flattered that she should distinguish me from the whole world. A FARCE. 191 PATTY — Well, you may flatter yourself, I hate you worse than anyone in the world, and I ' ll never forgive you ! MARGARET — No one seems to care for my forgiveness, hut I ' m sure I don ' t care if you did hear! And now, I say, can ' t you help us out? PHILIP — That ' s the worst of it. I can ' t even redeem myself that way! Cros telephoned this morning to say that he has heen called out of town, and won ' t be back until after the game. MARGARET— What shall we do? PATTY — You ' ll just have to telegraph him! PHILIP — What shall I say ? J ac k Nichols suddenly and necessarily deceased. Return at once and embrace your opportunity. MARGARET— If I were Nell, I ' d hate to be called an opportunity. PHILIP — You would probably be thankful to be called anything in that connection. PATTY — How can you people be so trivial ? It is not a matter to joke about! I ' m going home. If any brilliant inspiration strikes you and you see how we can gracefully withdraw from our present awkward situation, I wish. you ' d let me know. Good by! (Exit. PHILIP (mournfully) — Guess I ' m up against it now, all right! ( Curtain . SCENE III. Time : A week later, afternoon during the Yale-Harvard game. Place : The Meads ' Library. Mrs. Mead seated reading. Margaret wandering aimlessly about the room. MARGARET (at window) — Who wanted to go to the old game, anv- how? I ' d infinitely rather stay at home with mother. But then, I ought to be thankful to have things turn out as beautifully as they have. Who could have anticipated that Mr. Nixon would have appeared just at the right moment to take Nell to the game ! It is mighty nice having your mother ' s old friends have convenient, good-looking sons. Of course Nell is as gloomv as death on the Crosby question, but it was quite romantic to see ber faith- fully in blue for his dear sake! I fancy Mr. Nixon didn ' t relish taking her on the Harvard side with all that blue on. She was mighty plucky to do it, and if Cros could only know it, it would simplify matters. Then Pattv and Phil made up so ni cely, they seem to be happy. If Cros ever gets back, I ' m sure Phil can fix it all up with him. Of course we swore not to tell, but we didn ' t tell, and if it gets out in spite of us ,1 don ' t know who ' s to blame. — Who ' s that coming, T wonder! Why, I believe it is Cros, of all people! I wonder if he knows how the game is going? (Knocks on window and beckons. To Mrs. Mead) Mother, here ' s Cros. Maybe he knows how the game came out. (Exit, (Enter Margaret and Cros.) CROSBY — Poor old Eli, can ' t imagine what happened! Expect you ' ll rejoice. How do you do, Mrs. Mead? I must apologize for my appearance, for I have just come from the train. T am feeling- pretty blue, for we lost, four to nothing. Called out of town so I could not see the game. Guess 192 JACK NICHOLS, I ' d better sprint off before the people get back, don ' t feel like hearing their consolations. MARGARET — Too late ,I ' m afraid. Here they come now! CROSBY (aside)— Just my hick! MRS. MEAD— I ' ll see that yon have fair play, Crosby. ( ' Enter Philip, and Patty, in red; Mr. Nixon, and Elinor, in bine. Greetings, hand shakings, etc. ) PHILIP — Hullo, Cros, yon back? Bad news to greet yon, wasn ' t it? CROSBY— Yes, It was hard luck. ELINOR — We didn ' t expect yon until tomorrow. CROSBY — Got off sooner than I expected. (Aside, starting.) In blue, bless her! What ' s that for? I thought this Nichols was a Harvard man. ELINOR (to Mr. Nixon) — I want you to meet Mr. Porter. (To Crosby) Mr. Nixon, a friend of mother ' s. CROSBY (aside) — Nichols! A friend of your grandmother ' s! (To Mr. N.) Glad to know von. (Aside) What a lie! ELINOR (to Mr. N.) — Mr. Porter is a Yale man. MR. NINON — Yale played a fine game, Mr. Porter. Yon may well be proud of her. CROSBY — Thanks. Just as well I missed the game, I guess. MRS. MEAD (seated at tea table) — Come, Crosby, you shall help me. Make them sit down and we ' ll give them something to eat to keep them quiet. (All sit. Mrs. Mead, Mr. N. and Margaret in one group, Philip and Patty in another, Elinor and Crosby. ) MARGARET (to Mr. N.) — You will have to tell us all about it, but softly so Cros won ' t hear. (They talk animatedly.) CROSBY (to Elinor) — In the name of Yale, I ' d like to thank yon for the blue. , ELINOR — In the name of Yale! You are as modest as the violet you swear by. CROSBY — Yon are too good! (Aside) I must hold on to myself. I never saw her look so heavenly! He ' s a good looking guy, too. Wish I knew what possessed her to wear the bine. ELINOR — We missed yon at the game. Why weren ' t yon there? CROSBY — Called away on business. (Aside) I ' m getting to be the most cheerfnl liar. (To Elinor) Hard hick, wasn ' t it? ELINOR — Indeed, it was! I kept thinking all through the game about you. CROSBY (feelingly)— Did you, really? (Aside) I shall get up and kill that man in about a minute. MR. NINON — That third baseman of yours made a corking run, Porter. Wish yon could have seen it. CROSBY— Wish T could, Mr. Nichols. PATTY (to Phillip)— ) MARGARET (aside)— V Nichols! ELINOR (aside)— J PHILIP (to Patty)— Bv love, he thinks it ' s Jack Nichols! A FARCE. [93 PATTY (to Phil)— Poor old Cms. what shall we clo! He and Nell look awfully strained somehow. Nell looks at the point of tears. PHILIP — He looks at the point of — thunder! PATTY — Can ' t you take him out and explain? Things seem to he ap proaching a crisis. PHILIP — All right, I ' ll do my best. (To Crosby) Sorry to interrupt you old man, but — hut — isn ' t that furnace making an awfully queer noise? CROSBY— I don ' t hear anything-. PHILIP (helplessly)— Don ' t you? PATTY (from the window)— Oh! Quick! Quick! There ' s a dog chasing my cat! Please, Cros, Phil, somebody go and get it! (Exeunt Crosby and Philip. MRS MEAD (going anxiously to register) — I don ' t hear anything the matter with the furnace. PATTY — Oh, don ' t worry, Mrs. Mead. I ' m sure it is all right. ELINOR (from window) — T don ' t see your old cat! PATTY — Oh, it went around the house, von can ' t see it now. MR. NIXON — That Porter seems like a nice fellow. It ' s strange that he ' d miss the game ! MARGARET — Oh, he ' s an awfully busy man. I ' m sure it must have been very important. PATTY (aside to Margaret) — Philip is breaking it to Crosby. MARGARET— We must look out for Nell then. What if she should suspect? MRS. MEAD — Elinor, how does it happen that you are in blue today? I thought we were a united family. ELINOR (in some confusion) — T — I — thought variety was the spice of life. MRS. MEAD (pleasantly to Mr. N.)— Girls will be girls! (Enter Philip, and Crosby radiant, who goes straight to Elinor.) PHILIP — Well, we have saved the situation! MARGARET (laughing)— Oh. the cat. you mean. PHILIP (wickedly) — Yes, the cat, of course! What else could T mean? MARGARET (to Patty)— Look at Cros, did you ever see such a.blissful expression? I believe he ' ll propose this minute! This will never do. Nell will surely suspect ! PATTY r — Oh Cros. don ' t you think that ' s a beautiful cat of mine? (Aside) 1 forgot there wasn ' t any cat! (To Crosby) I mean Philip ' s dog ! Oh— PHILIP (wickedly) — Don ' t you mean Jack ' s bull pup? MR. N. (aside) — I never heard so many meaningless things said in my life. They talk like escaped lunatics. CROSBY (to Nell) — I ' m afraid I ' ve been awfully grouchy lately. PATTY (desperately) — Cros, do you know how to play Go Bang ? CROSBY (bewildered) — Why, yes, I believe I used to play it when I was a kid. Why? PATTY (demurely) — Oh nothing, only I thought maybe you ' d teach me. 194 JACK NICHOLS, MR. N. (aside) — That one surely is a little off, and so pretty, too! CROSBY (coldly) — Certainly, I ' d be delighted. (Turns back to speak to Nell.) MARGARET— Oh, do! Let ' s play now. PHILIP AND PATTY— Yes, let ' s. CROSBY (aside) — Hang them, anyhow! I wish I were Robinson Crusoe and Nell, Friday! PHILIP (laughing) — Friday, did you say, old man? Oh, no, it ' s Sat- urday, you know, and tomorrow will be Sunday if it doesn ' t rain. CROSBY (to Nell)— I ' ve been a brute and I could kick myself. Will you forgive? me PHTLIP (to Crosby) — Are you going to Mrs. Thompson ' s dance? CROSBY — Yes. (To Elinor) Will vou go with me? ELINOR— I should love to. MRS. MEAD — Elinor, my dear, Mr. Nixon tells me he must take that next train back. Will vou see about having tea early? ELINOR— Yes, mother . (Exit. PHILIP — Now, young ladies, it is up to you to do the heavy penitent. I told Cros you were perfectlv inconsolable. PATTY— I ' d rather take ' a Math exam! PHILIP — Be a little man. Come, Peg! (shakes finger at Margaret, who is trying to escape.) Naughty! Naughty! MARGARET (guiltily)— I thought maybe T could help Nell. PATTY (goes to Crosby and drops on one knee. Margaret stands with arm on Patty ' s shoulder and with bowed head) — For all our wickedness and our thoughtlessness, and the trouble we have unwittingly caused you, we do humbly beseech your forgiveness. CROSBY — For heaven ' s sake, get up, Patty ! You make me feel like a fool. PATTY — No, I shall stay here as penance, until I ' m sure you forgive us. MR. N. (aside) — What is the little maniac up to now, I wonder? She seems to be harmless, but I should expect every minute to see her get violent. MARGARET — We ' re awfully sorry. Will you ever forgive us? CROSBY — I suppose so — if Patty will get up. PHILIP — Fair Knight, arise, thou art forgiven ! Allow me, or shall T get a derrick? PATTY (slowly rising) — I fear I am forgiven, but not forgotten. PHILIP (bowing) — Who could forget you, Patty? MARGARET — I feel sufficiently punished, for I know Jack Nichols will haunt me forever! PATTY — I tell Peg she ' s too fussy. If he was good enough for Nell, he ought to be for her! CROSBY — It ' ll be many a day before you hear the last of Jack Nichols, Margaret. PATTY (mournfully) — And I should so have liked a ride in that auto! PHILIP — Or a scrap with that bull pup! A FARCE. J 95 PATTY — Let ' s not waste time. It seems as if I couldn ' t wait for that game of Go Bang , Cros. (Curtain. ACT III . SCENE I. Place: Room off Mrs. Thompson ' s hall room. Palms, ferns, etc. Music. Men and girls in evening dress pass in and out. (Enter Croshy and Elinor.) ELINOR — Isn ' t it pretty tonight, and the music is so good! CROSBY — Oh, yes, hut it ' s so crowded. And I never saw anything like the gang of men round you. Can ' t you shoo them off? It seemed as if I ' d never get you to myself. ELINOR — I was having a fine time! CROSBY — Were you? Well, I was not. 1 wauled a chance at you myself. I ' ve heen trying to tell you something ever since last week. You— (Enter Philip and Patty. Seeing Croshy and Elinor they laugh and whisper.) PHILIP — Ahem! By all that ' s lucky, isn ' t this a nice quiet place to with- draw from the madding crowd ! CROSBY— Why, yes, T did think so. PHILTP — Oh, hefore Nell came and disturhed you, T suppose. (General laugh.) PATTY (as Croshy rises) — Oh, don ' t let us disturb you. We can only stay a minute. (Enter Margaret, looks around.) MARGARET— Are we all friends here? PATTY — Wait just a jiff! (Looks under couch and behind palms.) ELINOR — What are you doing, Patty? PATTY — I was just looking to make sure there was no one listening, as T have heard of some people doing (looking at Philip), not mentioning any names, of course. I thought Peg looked as if she had some tragic secret to disclose. MARGARET — Not tragic, exactly, but I ' ve seen the nicest man. He ' s simply stunning and I don ' t know who he is. I never thought I should fall in love at first sight, but I am sure I shall expire if I don ' t meet him im- mediately. , PHILIP — Show me the man. I ' d like to shake hands with him, and tell him how grateful to him we ' d he. I had a sort of lingering fear, Peg, that you ' d be the last rose left to bloom alone on the parent stalk, or whatever tiiat is that they usually say. Can ' t you help me out, Patty? MARGARET— You hateful thing! I ' d be glad to elope if thereby I could escape your teasing. PATTY — Oh, Peggy, please don ' t elope, then I couldn ' t be bride ' s maid. MARGARET — Well, I don ' t know that there is any immediate danger, if no one will take pity on me and find that adorable man and present him ! PHILIP— I go, the herald of your will ! (Exit Philip.

Do you think you could care for one faithful to both them and you ? You must know how I love you. ELINOR (taking some violets from bunch and pinning them on his coat) — Let me pin my favor on you in token that I take you for my true knight. (Enter Philip and Mr. Nichols.)

PATTY — Mr. Jack Nichols, T suppose? MR. NICHOLS — Why, yes, they call me Jack. Do you know anyone by that name? MARGARET (confusedly)— I should hope not. MR. NICHOLS— Sorry you donJt like the name. MARGARET — Oh, T— I — do! I think it ' s a fine name. My chum at college had a brother by that name, and he was splendid. Oh, that is, I suppose he was. I never saw him. MR. NICHOLS — So it it as I thought, And you are the Peggy Mead I ' ve heard my sister Marion talk so much about? MARGARET — Are you really Marion Nichols ' brother? What a coin- cidence ! PHILIP (going to where Patty is standing a little apart from the rest) — You looked so lonesome I thought I should have to take pity on you. PATTY — Awfully thoughtful of you. PHILIP — You weren ' t feeling lonely, I suppose? PATTY— Certainly not ! PHILIP — It was sweet of you to say such nice things the other day when you didn ' t know I was near. PATTY — Well, I ' m sorry you spoiled the old proverb, Evesdroppers never hear any good of themselves. PHILIP — I don ' t care if it turns out well. I wonder if you could stand TWILIGHT. 197 me round always within hearing . Do you think you could take me for hetter or for worse , Patty? PATTY — I don ' t know. I suppose I might take you just out of pity, you look so lonesome! But on one condition, Philip. PHILIP— What ' s that? PATTY — That you ' d keep a hull pup! PHILIP — All right, Patty, if I may make a condition. PATTY— What ' s that? PHILIP — That you ' ll let mc teach you Go Bang , instead of Cros. PATTY — Well, I suppose I ' ll have to. He looks as if he were contented where he is. PHILIP — I should say! Let ' s hreak it up. They ' ve no right to keep it to themselves. ( They walk over to Elinor and Crosby. ) PHILIP (to Elinor) — We just came to tell you that if you would set a day agreeable to Patty, we thought it might be nice to have a double wedding. (General laughter.) CROSBY — Why not triple? I should say by the expression on that young man ' s face over there that he wouldn ' t let Margaret hear the last of lack Nichols for a while, even if the rest of us would ! Tableau. (Curtain.

In Colorado, where I ' ve been, I ' ve often heard them tell, Snow on the ground was never seen — Save what from heaven fell. So clear has been the atmosphere, I often could have seen New York or Philadelphia — Had nothing been between. The climate many doth surpass, So pure and dry the air; No dew is found upon the grass — Because no grass is there. The zephyr there doth often blow itfi sweet persuasive power; It breathes across your fevered brow At fifty miles an hour. What pleasant days the people have They customary call; Such weather as might fright the brave Is termed exceptional. TKo ight and Deed MILDRED II. HUMPHREY.

After a momentary lull in the conversation one of the girls spoke up suddenly: Marjorie, are you going to the Occidental banquet, Saturday night? Not so far as I can see. Why, girls, T ' d give anything to go. I have the dandiest new dress I ' m dying to wear, and there isn ' t a blessed thing I can wear it to, except that, for ages. I ' m getting sort of desperate. I believe I ' d go if Micky asked me. But you ' d rather someone else asked you? Now, never mind. Miss Hilton. But you would — Dick is a pretty nice fellow, I must say, said Elsie Mahew. [ wouldn ' t mind being asked by him myself. Don ' t worry yourselves. 1 have not been asked, so it isn ' t likely I ' ll go with him. I — Girls! the ten o ' clock bell! Goodnight, everybody. Monday morning, Michael Saunders asked Marjorie to go to the banquet. In the afternoon she saw Richard Hadley, who asked her if she were going, and she told him she was — with Saunders. When he left she said to herself: Just my luck! If hadn ' t accepted Micky, Dick would have asked me. Well, T ought to be thankful I ' m going. Later as she went up the steps of Palmer, Micky appeared. Well, have von decided to go? Why. I told you this morning — You did? Tt didn ' t strike me that way. As she started into Spanish, Aren ' t you going to tell me? I ' ll tell vmi again next Monday, she laughed, and took her seat. After class Saunders walked down to the Library with Edith Hansen. There he joined Lladley and the two went down to the lake to skate. So you ' re going to take Miss Davidson Saturday night, Saunders, lladley said as they started out. No. I ' m going to take Miss Hansen. Why, how ' s that? She told me von asked her. Well, I did, but she wouldn ' t accept. T told Miss Hansen she was second choice — that I ' d asked Miss Davidson — and she was just peachy about it. I don ' t understand. She told me she was going with you. She did? Well, that ' s more than she told me. Tt ' s just this way, Hadley. When I first asked her, she finally said she ' d consider it. Then when T pressed her — A STORY. 201 Hum! Hadley cleared his throat. Then when I pressed her for an answer, she said she ' d tell me next week. It ' s just the way she has treated us both before. She won ' t say yes or no — The hardest thing in the world to make a woman say yes or no, interposed Hadley. Then when it ' s too late to ask someone else, she ' s just as likely as not to turn you down. This is once too often ,and I understand her answer as a refusal. You ' re right, Saunders, but it ' s sort of tough on her. At any rate, you ' ve got yourself into a pretty scrape, now. You ' ve got to stick up for me if 1 do get into trouble. I don ' t know whether I will or not. I ' m not going to the banquet. Meanwhile Edith Hansen had come down to McGregor to see Marjorie. She found her in the hall and asked anxiously, Marjorie, why won ' t you go to the banquet with Mr. Saunders? Isn ' t he nice? Why, child, I am going with him. How did you hear anything about it? Why! He asked me to go with him. He said you refused to go, and— What! Come in here, quick! and putting up her engaged sign, she drew Edith into her room. You say Mr. Saunders asked you to go, and that I refused? Why, Edith, I told him 1 would go. What does he mean? Well, he said you refused. All right, Edith, 1 shan ' t let him know I didn ' t. Don ' t vou tell him 1 accepted, will you ? I don ' t want to go if he asked you and you said you would go. But you must! I wouldn ' t have him know for anything that I didn ' t refuse him. — I know ! We were jollying and I hated to come right out and say yes so I said I ' d consider it. And he asked me this afternoon if I had decided yet. That ' s what he meant. And when I said I ' d tell him next week he thought 1 was refusing — maybe he did it on purpose, lint Edith, don ' t you tell the girls I ' m not going. They all think I am. I don ' t know how I ' ll fix il. but they mustn ' t know. You won ' t tell them, will you? No, T won ' t. I ' m so sorry, Marjorie. I won ' t enjoy myself a hit Yes, you will, and yon needn ' t think I feel bad. Of course, I want to go, but it ' s just good enough for me anyway. So don ' t vou worry a bit about if, but, go along and have a good time. I know you will, for it ' s going to be grand. After Edith went, Marjorie did some hard thinking. She finally decided there was nothing to do but let things go their own way. She was too proud to tell the girls that she was not going after all, and especially since it was her own fault. J don ' t know how it will turn out, but I ' ll stick it out till the last minute. Nor would she fell Dick Hadley that she wasn ' t going, even when she thought how he would wonder at seeing Edith and not her at the banquet with Micky. She almost believed that Micky had not mis- understood, but had asked Edith on purpose to teach her a lesson. She told 202 HOW MARJORIE DAVIDSON WENT TO THE BANQUET. herself that that was the last time she would put anyone off without a def- inite answer. She suddenly sprang from her seat in dismay. And I ' ve already asked permission! I ' ll have to tell the matron that I ' m not going. No, I can ' t, I can ' t — not until Saturday, anyway. All week she kept it up, while the girls jollied her about going with Dick, though they knew she was going with Micky, for didn ' t Daisy Hilton and Elsie see him ask her ? Even Saunders didn ' t have the pleasure he expected when he gaily told her he had found a girl at last. She laughed at him and said she was glad he had been so fortunate. But when Saturday came, it was harded than ever to tell, and she found herself getting out that new dress ready to put on. Then in the evening the girls came in to help her dress. And dress she did, her heart getting heavier every minute. But she was thinking and beginning to plan. When the bell should ring she would go down and make the girls think Mr. Sauin- ders had come. Oh, joy! They were all gong to have a spread in the rats ' roost and when they had gone up there she could slip back to her room unseen and lock herself in for the night. Well, what about the other girls in the hall who were going? At any rate they wouldn ' t know until they got there, then tomorrow — oh, tomorrow ! — what would they think of her ? Now, you ' re all ready, the girls cried, and admired her for a bit, then ran to see the other girls who were going. What next? The bell rang and the girls ran laughing to the stairways. Who is it? they whispered excitedly as the maid came up the stairs. She laughed and went on — on to Marjorie ' s room for she was not at the stairs. Miss Davidson, Mr. Hadley is in the parlor and wishes to speak to you. Oh! gasped Marjorie. I can ' t go down this way! What ' ll he — then she remembered that he didn ' t know and also that the girls would think she had gone. She could keep Dick till the other girls went, and then get back unnoticed. She carried her opera cloak down stairs after gaily bidding the girls good-bye, but she stuck it clear under the table in the back hall. While she was heaving a sigh of relief that she had escaped the girls, she was dread- ing that confession to Dick. When he saw her he wondered if she did not know the truth yet, but said, So you ' re all ready for the banquet? Oh, Dick, I ' m not going! But I was such a coward I couldn ' t tell the girls what a trick I had done, and I ' ve pretended up to the last miiute, and even dressed as if I were really going, and now the girls think I ' ve gone. She forgot that he didn ' t know all about it. Well, you are going, only I thought I ' d have to wait until you could get ready, but I see you have got ahead of me. No, really, I ' m not, Dick. I put Mr. Saunders off, and he thought I ' d refused, so he asked another girl, and I ' m not going at all — only I couldn ' t bear to tell the girls. Would you seriously object to my company to the banquet, Marjorie? iOMEWARD BOUND. 203 Oh, Dick, don ' t! After the way I ' ve acted! I don ' t want yon to do it. I don ' t deserve it and do deserve what I ' ve suffered and will suffer tomorrow, when the girls find out. They ' ll never know, Marjorie, that you weren ' t going all the time. We ' ll never tell. She returned so soon with her cloak, she had to confess what she had done with it a few minutes before. — And she hadn ' t told them she was going with Micky ! When they returned at half past one, Marjorie whispered, I — I ' ll never forget this, and — you ' re an angel, Dick. The next morning she received a note, in which was written : Forgive me. Michael Saunders. But she had already forgiven. Hotnew rd Bound ORRIN RANDOLPH. Dashing homeward in our sleigh.

By Jove! exclaimed the young and somewhat verdant Brown, scratching his head nervously and looking distractedly at a pile of hooks in front of him, I have hunted three hours for something about the value of Astronomy as an Element of a Liberal Education, and I can ' t find a blame thing. Any professor that would give a subject like that ought to — The value of astron- omy, St. Peter alive! if I told my opinion on the subject, I ' d likely be asked to discontinue my studies for a few weeks. It wouldn ' t be so tough if the thing didn ' t have to be original. How can a fellow who never carried freshman comp. beyond three lessons ever be expected to put original thoughts into readable words ? Of course, I ' m not saying that I ever had an original thought on Astronomy, but then if I had, think of the predicament I would be in. The first thing to do, I suppose, is to tell how Astronomy ennobles the mind, how it uplifts the soul, how it teaches one to reason for ones self — Bosh ! I ' m not going to waste time doing anything like that if I can help it. Here comes the librarian, maybe he can help me out. Say, Mr. Wilson, I ' m up against a tough proposition. Got an original essay to write on ' The Value of Astronomy as an Element of a Liberal Education. ' Don ' t know of anything that might enlighten me a little do you ? The librarian scratched his head and thought. Wait a minute. 1 think there was an article in last month ' s ' Practical Astronomy ' about that. I ' ll see. He returned in a few moments grinning knowingly. I guess this is just about what you want. Brown. Might be a little politic tho ' to skip a word or two occasionally. Brown eagerly grabbed the magazine. There boldly confronting him was an article on The Value of Astronomy as an Element of a Liberal Educa- tion. What, a wave of relief spread over his weary brain! What a brilliant reputation as an essayist he could see before him. One hour passed; two, three hours passed and still the persistent Brown wrote on. Not a word of the cherished essay escaped his pen; not a sound of the external world reached his ear. Finally he closed the magazine, folded his papers, put his pen carefully into his pocket and leaned back contentedly in his chair. Well, that was a snappy piece of luck, he mused. Saved a lot of thinking and nobody ' s any wiser, lb-own, old boy, you ' re cleverer than T thought you were. Next thing I know you ' ll be writing Shakespeare. The peaceful autumn days had glided into winter. Examinations had come and gone and the new semester had brought with it a wonderful spirit of life. Here and there on the campus could be seen little groups of students, some A STORY WITH A MORAL. 205 studying vigorously, others chatting merrily and still others hurrying hither and thither in a six-hours-reading-to-do-in-one manner. Brown was not in- cluded in any of these different occupations. He could not stud)-; he did not feel in a mood for merriment and he had no desire whatever to hurry. With his hands in his pockets and his head slightly inclined in the direction of the ground, he was walking slowly and pensively ' up and down the path from the Library to the Science Hall. His troubles were indeed many and varied. He hadn ' t heard from home for over a month, his hoard hill was due, he had been sick for a week, and lastly he had just received a flunk notice from the Astronomy prof . What was the use to keep on ? Why waste time in College? Why not — Beautiful day. Brown, como esta listed? ' ' ' came from a cheery voice behind. Hello, Hopkins, was the meek reply. How ' d you get along in the exams., old boy? Guess I just about cleaned things up, began his friend enthusiastically. Never struck such a bunch of walkovers in my life. Didn ' t dream I ' d get through that Milton course, but that was like drinking soda-water. It was funny to see how the fellows crammed for Astronomy — just as if anybody ever flunked that. Fellow would surely he a blockhead who couldn ' t get through Astron- omy, ventured Brown, awkwardly. Heard a funny joke on Prof. Roe the other day, continued Hopkins. You know he ' s mighty slow, but yet, Brown, there ' s one of the smartest men of the faculty. Did you see that article in Practical Astronomy not Idng ago, that he wrote on ' The Value of Astronomy as an Element of a Liberal Education. ' It was a peach. Well, as I was going to — Is this joke you ' re about to tell on Roe or on me, Hop? T declare T can ' t stand for it if it ' s on me. Astronomy is one of my sensitive points rhese days. Look here, is it straight that Roe wrote that article on ' Astronomy as an Element of a Liberal Education ' ? Straight, well I guess ves. He ' s got his name signed to it. Go read it if you don ' t believe me. Well, I ' ll be jiggered, was the reply. Hello! there goes the bell — see you at chapel, old hoy. In the meantime you ' d better go down and look that matter up, you ' ll — You ' d better hustle. Hop, or you ' ll he late — Astronomy! I ' ll choke the next fellow that mentions the name of it, muttered Brown as he sauntered aimlesslv toward the Library. 206 THE LEPER. The Leper MILDRED II. HUMPHREY The leper sat him down alone, A sad and wearied soul. Is Nature always kind and just, And seeks the highest goal, Or blind and ignorant, decrees That one shall rise in pride, Another from the common world His hated face must hide? The leper sat him down to think ; Reflected deep and long. The moon arose above the heath, Still dwelt he on his wrong. In splendor lighted she the skies; He raised his brow to gaze. She bathed his eyes with light and life And wiped away the haze He saw the world in all its strength, He saw himself a part, And ceased his vain self-questioning : Why art thou as thou art? He loved at last the truth supreme. Though not a perfect plan. He learned to know the law of life. The worth of world and man. ••What ' s iiy a Name? YNA REINHARDT.

Cvipid Versus Germain A IK MA R.UDD. It was just a week before the beginning of the semester exams. I was industriously writing up my Philosophy note book when Priscilla came into the room. How far are you? she asked. I answered with pardonable pride that I was just through Aristotle. Priscilla shrugged her shoulders. Some people, she announced to the fur- niture, are too industrious to live. I ' m lingering on Socrates myself. But that ' s neither here nor there. Jen, what made me elect German, anyway? I replied that I didn ' t know. Priscilla had always professed undying hatred toward the German professor and it was a surprise to everyone when she was moved to elect German A. Professor Matthews was young and unmarried, — cynical and not at all in- clined to worship at Priscilla ' s shrine with the other unattached faculty mem- bers. Indeed, he seemed to reciprocate Priscilla ' s dislike. I simply cannot take that exam, Priscilla went on. Not that I mind the exam exactly but I ' m the only Senior in the class. All the rest are Fresh- men. Matty excuses the people who haven ' t cut and those he likes. I don ' t come under either category and how can I, with my exalted position of Senior, take that exam when a dozen or so Freshman babies are excused? It is rather an embarrassing situation, I said, but cheer up, he may excuse you, you know. Priscilla sniffed contemptuously, but made no further reply. Suddenly her face brightened. Love your enemies, she remarked, enigmatically. Jen, do you believe Professor Matthews hates the fair sex as much as he pretends to? He ' s young and ought to be impressionable. I believe I could do it. I looked at her in blank amazement. Then her meaning began to dawn upon me. I am not fond of Matty , but I felt called upon to remonstrate against such cold-blooded kidnapping. Priscilla was delighted with the word. That ' s all he is — a kid, she said, and if I catch the kid napping it isn ' t my fault. One more like that, my lady, I told her, and either you leave this room or I do. You needn ' t go unless you want to, Jen, she replied. You ' re really not bothering me at all. But nonsense aside — I haven ' t very much time, only a week, and I ' ll have to begin right away. Priscilla! I remonstrated. You ' re not going to — to — To make love to him? Oh, no. He ' s going to make love to me, was the calm reply. I made one more plea. But Priscilla, suppose he should come to — to care very much? jo8 CUPID VERSUS GERMAN A. Oh, he won ' t, was the reassuring answer. He hasn ' t heart enough for that, you know he hasn ' t, Jen. I saw Priscilla no more till the next afternoon, when she walked into my room and announced triumphantly, I did it! I waited patiently for further information. It was so easy, she went on that my conscience almost hurt me. I knew 1 was pressed for time so I resolved on one hold stroke This morning t went to class early and had a long talk with Professor Matthews. I told him it was a source of pain to me to know that we didn ' t get along well together and if it was my fault I would try and do hetter. I was afraid I hadn ' t understood him, hut I thought perhaps I was heginning to and I hoped he ' d let bygones he bygones and he friends. He was quite embarrassed, but rose to the occasion and looked at me in quite a pleased manner and rather as if he thought my hat was becoming. We shook hands and then I sat down and the hell rang. After class I stopped to read the bulletin board, and just happened to be leaving when he came out. So he walked home with me, and on the wav asked me if I ' d like to go and hear that German lecturer tonight, — Herr something or other. — He lectures in German. Priscilla sighed. But I guess 1 can afford to be bored if I can get out of that exam. Professor Matthews monopolized Priscilla till exam week. German A was scheduled for the first period Monday. Priscilla stopped at my door on her way to the recitation room. See you in fifteen minutes, she said: Sure enough, in about fifteen minutes she was back. Congratulations are in order, she announced. But the worst is yet to come. We ' re going walking this afternoon. That evening Priscilla came into my room and threw herself on the couch. Oh, Jen! she gasped, I ' m a wretch, but it ' s so funny! Laughter over- came her and it was some time before she could go on. Then she sat up and proceeded with the tale. Matty said this afternoon that he ' d always been a woman-hater, but I had opened a new world to him. I said it was a lovely day, but he wasn ' t to be sidetracked. He said he had never known love before, but he knew it now and he hoped — Oh, Jen ! Priscilla buried her head in the pillow a minute and then emerged, rosy with laughter. Well, he hoped he wasn ' t mistaken in thinking I cared for him. I didn ' t know what to do, but I finally made him understand that T never could he anything but a sister to him. I tried to spare his feelings, and T think he feels that if I followed the dictates of my own heart I ' d he more than a sister to him. No, I didn ' t say anything that wasn ' t true. You know I wouldn ' t, Jen — but — well, T couldn ' t be cruel, and besides there ' s a final in German A coming at the end of the year, and I may have to accept him to get out of that! An Evening ' s Sojourn in. Mu eumdom JOSIAH STICKERBAFF. It was night. The hour was twelve and the campus slept in darkness. Not a sound could be heard except the occasional baying of a dog or the muffled roar of a distant locomotive. Dear me, I haven ' t been able to sleep a wink this night, said a diminu- tive snail in a remote corner of the Museum. My, isn ' t it quiet? I almost fancy I can hear my heart beat. I am so nervous. Just then something in the west end of the room cracked or popped, as things usually do on still nights when everyone is asleep. I can ' t endure this much longer, continued the snail. Wonder if any- one is awake — guess I ' ll sneeze. Ka-ka-ka-choo-oo-oo. That ought to have some effect. Thank goodness! sighed the mountain lion. I thought I was the only one awake in this whole room and you don ' t know how funny it made me feel. This speech caused a general commotion, for the lion ' s voice was loud and deep. Everybody from the Protozoa to the Elephant began to stir on their mounts. Hasn ' t this been the longest night you ever saw V ventured the Por- poise. I ' ve had such awful dreams, too — my stomach must be out of order. Too much fudge, eh, Porpy ? broke in the Starfish. Horrors! don ' t mention fudge on a night like this, said the Iguana. Ever since the Minerva candy sale I haven ' t been able to stand that word. That Fair was an awful money-making scheme, wasn ' t it? said the snail, anxious to keep up any sort of a conversation. Money-making, said the Lion, well, I should snicker to kiss a pig. Did you hear how much money Loring Lennox spent down there? lie is such a generous fellow that it makes my blood boil to think of anyone hav- ing the heart to work him. It would tickle me foolish, spoke up the Owl, to see someone who had the skill to work him. Speaking of skill reminds me of a funny story I heard on Mr. — , what Bortree, said the Red Flamingo, who rarely ventures much more than a word a year. Yes, that ' s it, of course. How stupid of me to forget. It happened one day last week. Leo was — Look here, Mr. Lion, I think I am the one who is privileged to tell that joke, since it was on me. The speaker was none other than the Ostrich. Was that about you, Ossie ' asked the Lion. Well, 1 think I ' d cut him dead after this. Anybody that would accuse a bird of having hind legs — and a Junior, too — - 2io AN EVENING ' S SOJOURN IN MUSEUMDOM. At this point everyone burst into laughter. He ' s an awfully good-hearted fellow, though, added the Lion, by way of apology, as he wiped the tears from his eyes with his left paw and settled himself more comfortably on his mount. My, but it ' s cold in here. I ' ll bet that curator has left a window or a door open, and if he has I ' ll catch my death of cold. My left lung aches already. Everyone turned to see who it was who had spoken. Who is that? asked the Bat of the Rhinoceros. The Polar Bear, replied the Rhinoceros, confidentially. She ' s the worst kicker I ever saw. I ' m mighty glad she isn ' t curator of the museum, we ' d never have any ventilation. So you are really satisfied with our curator, are you? spoke up the Python, who had overheard the conversation. I ' m the most satisfied person in the museum, I guess, when it ' s a ques- tion of the curator, replied the Rhinoceros. Oh, no you ' re not, broke in the Bat, the curator is. Is the curator self-satisfied asked the Polar Bear in surprise. Is he continued the Bat. You should have heard him the other day. He was over there pasting some sort of outlandish name on the Prairie Dog and I heard him say : ' Hime ' old boy, you ' re all right. You ' ve got Prexy going in the proper direction. All you ' ve got to do is to walk into hisoffice, ask for what you want and you get it without any questions. ' ' You don ' t mean it, said the Rhinoceros. Well, I must say I ' m awfully deceived in him. He seemed such an innocent looking fellow. You shouldn ' t judge a fellow ' s innocence by the kink in his hair, said the Owl. Good for you, Miss Owl, added the Grasshopper, you ' ll make some good man a poor wife. This last bit of sarcasm was evidently wasted for the Owl began to hum softly to herself. I really wonder if I am the ancestor of man, spoke up the Spider Mon- key, desirous, like all monkeys, to turn the subject of the conversation on himself. There seems to be a difference of opinion on that, said Mr. Huxley, with an audible yawn. But if I were you I would never discuss the matter under any condition or circumstances. It will cause enemies in the long run. Just to show you, however, that I ' m still in the race, I ' ll explain a few facts that have been greatly misrepresented. The theory of — You are out of order, Huxley. By Angler ' s Rules and Orders, no lectures can be given in this room except Monday night. Sorry to disap- point you, but rules are rules, you know. Huxlev did not respond as usual to this gentle squelch, but sank into a deep, peaceful slumber. That was pretty foxv of you, Mr. Lion. whispered the Tiger, T thought he was in for one of those all-night talks. Did I hear someone mention my name? piped up the Fox. AN EVENING ' S SOJOURN IN MUSEUMDOM. 211 Not that I know of, said the Lion. Yon would do well, Master Fox. to remember that little saying of Pope ' s? Aiders ' ? I forget which, about — ' It was Aiders who said that, interrupted the Owl. How do yon know? asked the Lion, I didn ' t say what it was yet. I know that, but did yon ever hear of any saying Alders didn ' t say? said the Owl. This world is made up of some awfully funny people, isn ' t it? said the Llama, who had heretofore kept silence. No funnier in this world than any other, put in the Lion. You mustn ' t judge everyone by Aiders and the Freshman class. Oh, I wasn ' t thinking of them in particular. I had in mind Harley Sill, replied the Llama. He ' s in the Academy yet, isn ' t he? No, you stupid, he is President of the Freshman class, rang a chorus of voices from all over the room. Really, said the Llama. What does he pursue in College, pray? The girls, usually, said the Owl. He is a regular Don Juan. Did you hear him the other day muttering some sort of a lingo about ' my mother told me to take this one, Stella, Helen, Carrie, Minnie, Helen, Mamie, Mamie, Mam — ' ? I declare I thought he was losing his mind. Does he belong to Pearsons or Apollo? meekly asked the Cuckoo. Bill Goat can probably inform you on that question, said the Bat. How about it, Billy? About what? muttered Billy, who was just sinking into the arms of Morpheus. About Sill. Is he a Pearsons man? Darned if I know ; don ' t recall the name, replied the Goat, who as yet was not in a mood for jesting. Cheer up, Billy, ventured the Lion. You ' re such an interesting talker when you once get started. We all love to listen to you. Come, tell us some initiation secrets. The Elephant winked at the Bat and altogether there was a general sup- pression of laughter at this last remark. Well, began the goat, brightening up, there were really so many at the last reception that I can ' t quite remember them all. Gee! there ' s an ex- perience that I wish some of you fellows could have. Talk about fun — nothing can touch it. You all know Currier, don ' t you? Well, he was the limit, he — Don ' t be too hard on him, Billy ; he ' s never been able to leave his mother yet, you know, said the Tiger. In my opinion Currier should have been a girl, said the Fox. They say he was simply fine in ' Rip Van Winkle. ' Rats, spoke up the Lion, if you judge fellows by the sort of girls ihey make when they ' re disguised and made up, you ' d soon find yourself in a prettly pickle. Look at Cobert, for instance. There isn ' t a more masculine little fellow in school and yet when he gets his wig on and his cheeks rouged and powdered one could hardly tell him from — from — who is that Senior girl ? Oh, you know who I mean. 212 AN EVENING ' S SOJOURN IN MUSEUMDOM. Yes, and there ' s McCreery, too, and Kaull, added the Bat. They say Kaull had wonderful experiences at the Contemporary Mask Ball. Several girls — even Jessie, the maid, affectionately embraced him and one confiding miss told him a secret. What was it? asked the Monkey, wild with curiosity. I ' m not at liberty to tell — it will be announced later, I understand, re- plied the Bat. I know what it is, I ' ll bet, said a Mouse, who had just entered the room, and just out of spite I ' m going to tell. They say she ' s one of the popular girls in McGregor Hall, but I fail to see it. One evening last week T was down there with a friend of mine and we happened to venture in her room. I beard her talking to someone, but didn ' t pay much attention to it, until I heard one of the girls say, ' Oh, I ' m so happy, dear, what a lucky man he is. Poor me, I shall be an old maid, I ' m sure. ' What were my conclusions? Why she ' s engaged, that ' s all, she ' s engaged. Yes, sir, — Who is engaged ? broke in a chorus of voices. Just then a terrible clanging resounded through the room. One, two, three times it shook the building from Physics Lab. to chimney top. The cocks began to crow and the neighborhood dogs blended their voices in a plaintive howl. The dismal clanging continued and still continued to continue and not a soul breathed in the great museum. The McGregor rising bell had silenced the lips of all and the only remnant of the evening ' s seance was a faint echo, as the students filed into class an hour later, of Who is engaged? A. Catastrophe A Hunter started out for game one day at early morn, Not as a Fowler, nor yet with Noycsy Horn ; For no oher Kauling did he love Moore Than Roeing on the Lake from shore to shore.

Say, fellows, just read this, will you? cried Jack Gardiner, rushing ex- citedly up to a group of boys, just coming from Math. ' Read what? they all exclaimed, cr owding about him. Why this — this letter 1 found on the bulletin board; I ' d give my hat to know the names of the girls who wrote it! Girls! cried Ralph Ward, a susceptible youth. This waxes mysterious. What is it. Jack, a proposal? More likely a refusal, by the look on Jack ' s face, broke in Frank Taylor. Did she say she could be nothing more than a sister to you, old man ? Don ' t let them jolly you, kid; brace up and read us the letter, said Carl Goodwin, a fun-loving Senior, clapping his young friend on the shoulder. Jack hesitated a moment, then, eager to hear the comments of the other boys, read the following mysterious note : How did you and Ralph Ward and Harry Martin enjoy your walk to the dressmaker ' s, Saturday night? Too bad we were in such a hurry ourselves we couldn ' t wait for you ! For shame! to think that you boys let yourselves be outwitted by three girls as well known to you as X., Y. or Z. Great Scott, Jack! cried Harry Martin, that must be from those three girls we caught rubbering in at the Kinnikinnick dance, Saturday night. We jollied them a lot, he continued, turning to the other boys, and being anx- ious to find out who the} ' were — for their faces were muffled with shawls — we started to follow them home. Instead of starting across the campus as we expected, they went down Tejon, lead us a merry chase up and down sev- eral side streets and finally disappeared in a dressmaker ' s shop on Kiowa. In about fifteen minutes they came sneaking out again and took the car north. We fellows, who had watched proceedings from the opposite side of the street, caught, the next car all right, but when we got off at the college there was nothing doing. The girls — You didn ' t find out who they were after all? questioned Carl Good- win. Well, I should say not! replied Jack. But it ' s a cinch they know who we are. Fellows we can ' t let those girls get the best of us. Ralph, Harry, can ' t you think up some stunt by which we can find out their names? Why don ' t you write a note to ' X. Y. Z. ' , and put it on the bulletin board, suggested Carl, who had been an interested listener. Then yon can — Keep watch and see who takes it down, eagerly interrupted Ralph. That ' s a bright idea, old man! I ' ll go write the note now. Gee! there ' s the last bell. P etter hurry, fellows, or Pat will count you cuts! Let ' s go see if there ' s any news on the bulletin board, said Mary Car- 214 FROM ALPHA TO OMEGA. ruthers to Carl Goodwin as they came out of Philosophy together, two hours later. Why, how funny — ' Miss X., Y. or Z ' ! I wonder if that isn ' t for me; that ' s the name I signed to that last article I handed in to the Tiger. Won ' t do any harm to open it and see, urged Carl, smiling secretly, for he had seen Ralph put it there and knew that one of the boys was watching eagerly to see who would take it down. Mary looked very puzzled as she read the note once, twice, three times, then finally exclaimed: Well, I give up in despair! See what you can make of this, Mr. Goodwin. Carl took the note and read in a low tone : You are being watched ! You will now receive a letter ad- dressed to youself ; for by this action you have proven yourself the guilty one. A., B. or C. Looks as if you had something there not meant for you, Miss Carruth- ers, continued Carl, returning her the note. It ' s probably some Freshman nonsense; this is Ralph Ward ' s writing — then, suddenly, C T have something Fd like to talk over with you, Miss Carruthers. May T walk over to Ticknor with you ? As soon as Mary and Carl had disappeared down the steps of Palmer, Ralph, who had been posted as scout, rushed up to Harry and Jack, exclaiming in great excitement: I ' ve got one of them spotted all right! Mary Car- ruthers just took down the note. Mary Carruthers! What are you giving us? broke in Jack. Some- thing must be the matter with your eyesight. Mary Carruthers is a Senior and wouldn ' t stoop to such a thing as watching a Kinnikinnick dance ! Well, maybe there was some mistake about it, old man, replied Ralph. But seems to me I ' ve heard that Mary Carruthers isn ' t so demure as she looks. I ' ll give her another chance, though, and then if she takes down the second letter — Why, woe unto her! laughed Harry. Say, Jack, can you translate this sentence in Dutch? I couldn ' t find that word there and 1 can just hear Aiders say: ' Whose cookdjook did you use, Mrs. Rorer ' s? ' ' ddie next morning as Ralph stopped on his way to class to put another X, Y or Z letter on the bulletin board, he was confronted by a small blue envelope addressed to A, B or C. What in the world ! he exclaimed, taking it down and opening it. Well, wouldn ' t that jar you! Just listen to this, will you, Carl, he called to Good- win who happened to be passing . I received your threatening epistle yesterday and was much amused by it. I ' ll give you a week to discover my identity, and then if you haven ' t found out by that time, why — I ' ll tell you myself. Your unknown, but ardent admirer, X. You ' ve certainly made a conquest of X, all right, laughed Carl. You Freshman kids seem to have things your own way with the girls — then. A STORY. 215 ( 1 examining the note closer — why, this looks like the writing of that pretty new Senior who sits next me in Philosophy. I believe it is Miss Carruthers, mused Ralph, as Carl went on to Eco- nomics. She blushed as red as a rose when she passed me in the hall a while ago. Gee! such luck. I ' ve been simply dying to meet her, but when all the Seniors are so crazy about her, I never thought she ' d even look at a Freshman ! You better belie.ve I ' ll watch you Miss X. My! wouldn ' t I like to catch Mary Carruthers taking that second note off the bulletin board ! Each day, during the rest of the week, Ralph would put a letter on the rack addressed to X, Y, Z, and each day take down a little blue envelope ad- dressed to A, B, C. Carefully as he watched, however, he could never dis cover when his letters were taken down or the ABC ones put up, T the questionings of Jack and Harry, he always reported, Nothin ' doin ' . He did not mention the little blue envelopes to them. That was his secret. Finally the last day of the week came and Ralph had not discovered the identity of his mysterious correspondent, though he was as certain as he wished to be that it was Mary Carruthers. He took down the usual little blue envelope that morning, with a feeling of sadness, remembering it would be his last. Dear A, B, or C. — As I know you have not yet discovered who I am, and the week is up today, I will keep my promise. If you will be at the big rock to the left of the entrance to Williams Canon this afternoon at four, you will find there your Fair and faithful X. As Ralph was folding the letter to put it back into the envelope, Jack and Harry came tearing down the hall. You ' re not so much of an old Sleuth, after all, Ralph, my boy! cried Jack, exultantly. Guess we beat you to it this time ! Harry and I went to call at McGregor last night and Daisy told us all about it. Jean Black was X, Marion Wood. Y, and Daisy, herself, Z. Jean Black, X! cried Ralph, is that so, — then to himself, — I don ' t believe it! Promptly at four that afternoon Ralph might have been found walking up the path to Williams Canon. She isn ' t here vet, he cried in disappoint- ment, then, as he caught sight of a familiar little blue envelope, lying on the big rock mentioned in the letter, — maybe she has been here, but felt too shy to meet me at first, so left a note telling me her name and where to meet her. Lifting the stcne which held the letter in place, Ralph eagerly took up the envelope which was addressed A, B, or C, from X. With trembling fingers he drew out the letter, read it at a glance, then flung it from him with the utmost disgust, and stalked angrily down towards the err. The letter read : ' There ' s many a slip, ' Twixt the cup and the lip! ' Carl Goodwin. Side Talks witH Girls Questions of Etiquette and of General Interest Will Be Answered on This Page. RUTH ASHLOOM. J. R. I. — If, as you say, blue en- hances the beauty of your eyes, continue wearing it, by all means. I. W. — I am glad you have given up dancing. Tally-ho and sleigh- rides are a great deal better for the general health. Carrie. — You are expected to pay party calls within two weeks after the tea. Clara Kaull. — It is not good taste to carry a hand mirror at a ball. I would consider it a little free to allow a young gentleman to re- place loosening hairpins. H. C. — It is unhealthful for young girls to be too fond of T(ea). I would advise you to break off the habit. L. S. — Automofra nng and driving are two different things. If the rule forbids driving, you are quite justified in the other. T., and J. G. C. — Certainly. It is perfectly proper to hang in the windows at a colonial ball. F. G. C. — A little more care for your dress and personal appear- ance will obviate the difficulty. A .1. K. — You are not justified in your jealousy. Yes, there is still plenty of time. P. M. W. — You say you had a pic- nic? And without a chaperone ? T will say nothing of it, but strongly advise you against hav- ing any Moore. Doane let your chum, either. Y. R. — That inner sense of delicacy and refinement becomes dulled ? Certainly, it was merely a girl ' s masquerade, but it is not prac- tised in the best of society? H. R. J. — The pin is rather large, as you say, but as long as it is not conspicuous and open to the idle curiosity, I would not hesitate to wear it on any occasion. Harley. — It is a great blessing to have so mam r irl friends. Do not be foolish, as so many are, and give them up for the young men. M. A. B. — I would advise you not to spend money for a chafing dish. They are going out of style and are falling into sudden disuse. A good substitute and the new favorite is a little elec- tric stove. L. D. — You are quite right. No young man ought to monopolize the company of a young lady un- less his intentions are serious. F. E. W. — Yawning in company is not permissable. It would seem to indicate that you were being bored. Contributor. — Your article may have been very good and rejected merely because it was unsuited to the requirements of the maga- zine you refer to. Flosse.- — The best book I know with which to start a good library is The Simple Life . It appeals to me most strongly. A Foot Ball Trip The football trips and the fun enjoyed thereon will always be among the most pleasant of the old C man ' s college memories. When the College wins, our joy is intense and vociferous, varying inversely as the size of the enemy ' s score. When defeated, our disgust is as deep as our resolve to win next time. On the Friday before the game, a quiet, anxious squad gathers around the coach, who reads the names of the men whom he has selected. Then the coach delivers a parting injunction to be on time and the squad makes a dash for the gym. Manager Hester is now in great demand; he is greeted with a chorus of requests, as, Gimme a shoestring, Hess, and I need a new pair of stockings. The magnificent indifference exhibited by the manager is the object of numerous witticisms. He is saluted with epithets of varying degrees of affection, as, cheap skate , tight wad , and is com- pared to a certain Hebrew gentleman of Shakespearean origin and frugal habits. 1 hain ' t a goin ' to give you fellers nothin ' , he yells. The clothes what yer got is plenty good enough for yer. A few men secure the things asked for, but the wrath of the manager again waxes great as Cap Lennox indiscretely approaches and timidly asks for a shoe string. A look of withering scorn suffuses the face of the manager. I ain ' t er goin ' to give yer nothin ' more, he howls in apoplectic rage. The Athletic Association can ' t afford to give yer all shoestrings twict a season. At the railway station next morning, all the new men are there a full hour before the train is scheduled to start. Jay Vandemoer is out in the train yard riding switch engines and giving orders to the trainmen. Howbert is discovered in a somnolent state on a bench in the waiting room. It is rumored that he has stayed there all night, but this, however, cannot be verified. The coach tells one of his selected anecdotes and Fawcett thereupon buys him a cigar. As train time approaches the tardv ones rush in. Just as the train is pulling out, Shorty and Billy appear in nonchalant leisure, carry- ing between them a grip which contains the entire armour of the tiny warriors. On the train the crowd proceeds to make itself at home. Nead reads Lu- cille and Blossom gets three lessons for the following Monday. Bill Lennox attempts to flirt with a very susceptible young woman opposite him with indifferent success. Captain Lennox, Mack, Scibird and Howbert unite to form some very close harmony. Morgan discovers that he forgot his football shoes and is the recipient of some caust ' c comment from the coach, whose remarks are listened to with enthusiasm by the other fellows. Bale slumbers peacefully and tunefully. Mosteller discovers a young lady on the Pullman whom he used to know in Missouri, lie at once gets busy and manages to be professionally engaged therewith till compelled to leave. When Denver is reached the crowd piles off the train into a street car. Manager Hester argues earnestly with the conductor that he he allowed a special rate of six for a quarter. The hard-hearted official, however, firmly refuses. At the hotel, lunch is enjoyed with a zest somewhat tempered by the [8 THE FOUR SEASONS, restrictions of the coach. That worthy, however, takes care to ramble in un- obstructed serenity through the bill oi fare, smiling indulgent!) at the discom- fiture i if the felli ws. College wins and a jolly crowd returns to the hotel and proceeds to have a high old time. Seybold Inns a suit of clothes he had much admired. Then dinner is served. ( n the train once more, the good old songs are sunt; and Captain Lennox starts a game of hot hand. The conductor becomes peevish, attempts to quiet the exuberance and is admonished to fade away. All the trainmen receive witticisms — with varying degrees of g ' ood nature. Scibird loses his hat and objurgates steadily lor ten minutes, avoiding repetition and showing excellent selectii n. Colorado Spring ' s is finally reached. The team gives a final yell for the coach and captain and another football trip is over. The Four Seasons PROFESSOR I . II. LOUD.

Dear Mr. Editor : — I understand I am threatened with a reappearance of the lines I wrote sarkostic , some twenty-five years ago, on Colorado Weather , — doubtless when suffering in mind as well as in body, from some spell of northwest wind. Readers will have to allow much, I fear, for the impression produced on a youth accustomed to the New England greensward, by the bleekness and harrenness, which in those days characterized Colorado Springs as much as they did the surrounding plains. If the literary sins of my youth are to be brought up against me at this late day, you might as well go further back, and print some lines which T wrote when a Junior in college. Unlike the other, they are as yet unpublished. They were composed late one evening after returning from a little party at the home of Professor Ebenezer Strong Snell, a teacher for whom T felt a great veneration and affection. He had mentioned to me there an unfulfilled plan of his own, of writing an acrostic on the names of the four seasons. The next morning I handed him the verses above. E. II. Loud. The Season at tKe Plsvy Houses Were it not that the Theatre Trust controlls the quality and the number of the plays we see, the stage might have a greater sphere of activity. One dare not speak of the Trust above a whisper for fear that what little we have will be taken away. In spite of all drawbacks, the season lias seen some remarkable produc- tions, The staging of the opera Rip Van Winkle , with R. B. Shaw and Alberta Cobert as Rip and Gretchen, was one of the great events. These two stars have been before the public almost constantly during the past two sea- sons, and are always sure of a welcome. It is exceptional for a woman to take a heavy masculine part successfully. Flosse Churchill is a brilliant exception. In her role as Leontes in The Winter ' s Tale , she is a star among stars. The charming operetta, The Enchanted Palace , has come and gone. It was perhaps the most artistically staged of all the productions of the season. THE SEASON AT THE THEATRE. The Mikado had an exceptional run in this city. With Nellie May Painter as Katasha, and R. B. Shaw as Nankipoo, it could hardly help earning ap- plause. Its appearance at die anti-trust Grand Opera House made possible some interesting incidents which the Trust would probably have eliminated. The Trelawney of the Wells Company has disbanded after completing a successful run of four seasons at the Perkins. THE SEASON AT THE THEATRE. Cranford is a delightful old English play. Its presentation at the Ticknor was marred only by the poor scenery of the third act. Six cups of Chocolate , which was so well received last year at the Apollo, appeared this year again with the same remarkable cast, at the Pearsons. Daffy Daphne is making a hit. It will probably be another year before, critics decide whether this opera belongs with Grand Opera or in the better class of Light Opera.
