Z,': Students of Cornell College, and the College world in general, the SIBVLLINE is at lastbefore ypu. Its Editors, with as little egotism as possible, under the circumstances, surrender these much talked of pages to the inspection of everyone without the pales of their Sanctum-College Students, Alumni, and Faculties, and all those never initiated into the blessed associations of College life, who have 'fthe stamps -feeling confident that the product of their labor deserves at least Ll1l7l7lZiS'ii'Z'07Z into the fraternity of College Annuals. : First, to those directly connected with our College, particularly those who have been prompted by their confidence in us to entrust the Annual entirely to our care, we, the Board of Editors desire to express our thanks for the aid and encouragement we have received from them. We have tried to make the SIBYLLINE as unique and original as possible. We have followed no plan but that suggested by our own judgment. If in any way we have failed, it has been through our short- sightedness and lack of wisdom. The Editors have done their best. If in any way we have given - offense, we have no apology to offer, for we have not written to please. If in our exposition of College life, we have not fulfilled the expectation of some, we proffer no excuse. We have tried to keep in mind the welfare of Cornell, and have sought to produce something creditable, at the sacrifice of profits. To those interested, an apology for this step is unnecessary. At least it is not offered. To the outside College world, we wish to say, that the SIBYLLINE is the first College Annual which ever opened its eyes in Iowa's educational world. We sincerely hope that it may live to become the father for motherj of a mighty race. As an advertisement of our College, it may possibly fail, for it has not been published as such. Q' With many thanks, and. no apologies, we vacate our official chairs, lock up our sancitum with a sigh of relief, give the manuscriptito our compositor, administer a parting kick to our Devil, and adjourn to Kueb's for our usual banquet at the expense of the Company's funds, with the addition of one bottle of black pop apiece to celebrate the occasion.

' .- ' f ' ' COLLEGE HISTORY. rx: Try Of all the pioneers, who in an early day, crossed the Mississippi and made their homes in Iowa, few were as progressive, intelligent and religious as those who established themselves near the present site of Mount Vernon and Cornell College. They not only labored to develope material resources, but they also desired to promote intellectual and religious growth. The Methodist itinerant soon commenced his labors among them, regular preaching places were established, revivals occurred, churches were built, andthe need of a school where their children might have the advantages of higher education under religious iniiuences, was deeply felt. In this condition of affairs Rev. G. B. Bowman, and those living in the vicinity, decided that the elevation on which the buildings of Cornell College now stand, should be consecrated to purposes of Chris- tian education. Iowa Conference Seminary was projected, and in I852 two terms of school were taught in the old Methodist Episcopal Church, of Mount Vernon, by Miss C. A. Fortner. On the completion of the Seminary building, in November, 1853, the school was more formally opened. The school thus began was well sustained as a Seminary four years. The Principal, Rev. S. M. Fellows, and the Preceptress, Miss C. A. Fortner, were the only teachers connected with the Seminary dur- ing its entire history. Both were earnest, able teachers. Prof. D. H. Wheeler, who later was a Professorin the College, and who is now President of the Alleghany College, was the first Professor of Languages. He remained but one year, and was succeeded by Revs. W. H. Barnes and B. Wilson Smith. The name of Rev. Stephen N. Fellows, A. B., appears in the second catalogue as Professor of Mathematics and Natural Science. Other teachers were employed for short periods, as they could be obtained, or as the wants of the school required. After four years of work of Seminary grade, a new building was commenced and the orig- inal charter was so amended as to make the institution one of collegiate rank. In the fall of 1857 the first term of Cornell College began with a Faculty of the Presidentand Preceptress, three Profess- ors and three lady teachers. Q Thus the work of founding Cornell College was carried on. It required talent, toil and prayer, for people were poor and the other enterprises of the new State had to be sustained. Railroads had hardly begun to stretch their iron arms across the State and all the pine lumber and hardware, with other materials in the first two buildings, were hauled on wagons from the Missis- sippi river. Many who could not give money donated teaming, or personal services, and no man was considered so poor that he could not do something. Only religious zeal, under good leadership, could have accomplished such a result. It is a matter of congratulation and tbankfulness to God, that Cornell College commenced her work on the foundation of self-sacrifice and heroism, which in- corporated and sustained Iowa Conference Seminary. The site of the college was originally chosen on account of its great beauty, and the character of the people living about it. Time has proven the wisdom of the choice. Town and college are located on an elevated plateau from which stretch away broad valleys in every direction, and these in the distance are bounded by hillsiwhere the earth and sky seem to meet. Bishop Gilbert Haven in a letter to the New York Afizforafe said: Never have I seen a lovlier landscape than that which stretches out from Mount Vernon, the site of Cornell College. From that open or that shaded top your eye takes in the loveliest lay of land that any college in America looks upon 5 at least any that I have seen. Bishop Foster in a recent address said he had seen but two colleges as beautifully lo- cated, one being near Constantinople overlooking the Bosphorus.. The original seminary building was, after the erection of the main college building, in 1857, used as a ladies boarding hall until the fall of 1885, when Bowman Hall was made ready for occu- pancy. Since that time it has been fitted up so as to afford excellent accomodations for the com- mercial department, the conservatory of music, recitation rooms in history and science, and for the chemical laboratory which occupies a large part of the upper story. The college building proper contains on the first two floors recitation rooms, while on the third Hoor are found the halls of the literary societies. Art Hall, familiarly known as the C. B. A., erected in 1873, contains the halls of the art de- partment, Prof. Cumming's studio, and a number of rooms which are rented to gentlemen students. The Chapel building, the finest structure of its kind in the State, was erected in 1876. It is of stone, and contains in the lower story the library, museum, and morning assembly room, and in the upper story the auditorium, where an audience of sixteen hundred can be seated. This room is well proportioned and beautiful in appearance. The size of the whole structure is 7 5x1oo feet, and it is finished in excellent style, much cut stone being used in its construction. There are three towers, the largest of which terminates in an observatory affording a magnificient view of many miles in every direction. In this tower is the valuable clock donated by john F. Cory, Esq., which strikes the hours and quarters on a peal of bells. ' Bowman Hall, for ladies, was erected in 1884-5, at acost of f40,000, Rev. G. B. Bowman, D. D,. donating one-fourth of the entire amount. No school in the country offers better accomoda- tions to young ladies. The building is heated with steam and is supplied with all modern appliances. There are elegant reception rooms, and the dining room is large and well lighted. The rooms for lady students are commodious, and tastefully furnished. The boarding department is under the ex- cellent management of the matron, Mrs. C. E. Henderson, and the superintendant, Prof. J. E. Har- lan. Mealsican be conveniently served to over one hundred and fifty students. A college may have a beautiful location, magnificent buildings, and be under excellent finan- cial management, but unless it has a faculty of character, ability and devotion, it cannot have either power or usefulness. During the-whole existence of the school, with hardly an exception, the selec- tion of teachers has been wisely made. When good teachers have been secured, it has been the policy of the college to retain them, and some have given the greater part of their lives, to work in the school. Rev. A. W. Keeler, D. D., Dean of the Theological Department of Central Tennessee Univer- sity, was the first President of Cornell College. In 1859 he resigned, and before entering upon his present work, filled many of the best appointments in the Upper Iowa Conference. Rev. Samuel M. Fellows, A. M., who, as principal of the Seminary, was much respected, was elected President, and remained in office until 1863, when death relieved him of his duties. His piety and excessive labors, in connection with an able administration of the affairs of the college, gave him a name which is remembered and honored. The third President of the college, Rev. Wm. F. King, D. D., LL. D., was placed in charge of the school immediately after the death of Pres. Fellows, and two years later, in 1865,' was formally elected to the position which he has so long and worthily filled. His force of character, fine scholarship, and gentlmanly bearing have admirably fitted him for the deli- cate and difficult duties of a college president. and he has largely contributed to the prosperity which Cornelia To name helped to may they motto is, D 1 A.

D., President of Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, was born near Zanesville, Ohio, December 2oth, 1830. His parents, James J. King, and Mariam Coffman King, were industrious, intelligent, religious, and, if we may judge by heredi- ty, of remarkable force of character. Both were of old Virginian families, and both lived to an advanced age, the father departing in the eighty-sixth, and the mother in the eighty-eighth year of life. I Dr. King is the oldest of three brothers, all of whom are graduates of the Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity. His brother, Isaac Fenton King, is a Presiding Elder in the Ohio Conference of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, and twice a member of the General Conference. His brother, I-ohn Wes- ley King, is a successful lawyer at Zanesville, Ohio. 1 On the completion of his college course, in 1857, W. F. King was elected to a tutorship in the Ohio Wesleyan University. He remained there till 1862. The Faculty with whom he had been associated expressed great appreciation of his usefulness and success as a teacher. f In 1862 he resigned, with the intention of spending some time in European travel and study. Providence had other work for him to do. . He was elected to the Chair of Ancient Languages in Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa, having been recommended for that place by Drs. f afterwards Bishopsj Thompson and Clark. The place ,came uusought, but, after a family consultation, was accepted. Thus he came to Iowa in 1862, and has become a part of the educational history of the state. Near the close of that college year, President Fellows died, leaving a memory still fragrant with the aroma of purity and goodness. Professor King was placed in charge of the College as acting Presi- dent, and entered upon the discharge of that duty in the summer of 1863. In 1865 he was formal- ly elected President of the College, and has remained in that relation to the present. In length of service in the same college he outranks all other Presidents of Methodist Colleges now living in the United. States. To detail the -work of President King in the educational field, would outrun the limits of this paper. It includes over a quarter of a century of toil and care. Even when taking a vacation for neccessary rest, the College is always on his mind and heart. This is sufficient of itself, without labored explanation, to account for his success and the success of the College. It may be added that, he has been able to surround himself with a Board of Trustees and Faculty of like mind. It is well to note also, that President King not only considers his work as important as the active Christian Ministry, but a part of the work of the active Christian Ministry. He never admits that he is not in the regular work. And thus in harmony with this idea, he never loses sight of the moral and spiritual welfare of the students under his care. He has always and constantly, both by public appeal and personal approaches, urged upon all, the religion which he has himself enjoyed. Having been himself born into the Methodist church, having been converted at the age of ten years, he has remained true to all the usages, institutions, and doctrines of the church. While not indiffer- ent to any plan of improvement, and keenly alive to whatever presents manifest advantages, he maintains through alla wise conservatism, preferriiig rather to bear the ills we have, than fly to others thatlwe know not of. A ' While never wavering in his attachment to Cornell College, President King has been in active sympathy with the Public Schools and general educational interests of the state. He has been Pres- ident of the State Teachers' Association, and has served for years on its most important committees. In the National Association he is honored with membership in the Educational Council. Thus, although retiring and modest, and unassuming, both in deportment and in character, the labors of PresidentiKing have not been confined exclusively to the College over which he presides. He was first elected to the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1876, and is again a member of that body the present year. Here, as elsewhere he is not one of the most con- spicuous in keeping himself before the public eye, but is always one of the most active, efficient, and successful in practical labors. When he feels called upon to speak, he is listened to with the closest attention and with marked effect, wdaether in the Councils of the Church, or the State. He has been frequently invited to preach or lecture on special occasions, has read papers before various educational and ecclesiastical conventions, and has delivered addresses at a number of differ- ent colleges. These, as well as his Baccalaureate discourses, have been marked by a depth of thought and scholarly finish to which few men attain. He has written not a little for the periodicals of the day, but generally anonymously. He has traveled over nearly all portions of the United States, and is unusually well informedaon the resources of the country and the character of its public men. Contrary to a somewhat prevalent opinion, that a man's effecftive pulpit power begins to wane at fifty years of age, it has been remarked by Dr. King's friends that his ability as an effective public speaker, has very materially increased since he has reached the age of fifty years. Thus it may be seen that a great purpose, worthily assumed and unflinchingly followed, is a perennial fountain of mental and moral vigor. In r87o, President King received frpm the Illinois Wesleyan University, the degree of Doctor of Divinity. In 1887 he received from his Alma Mater, the Ohio Wesleyan University the degree of Doctor of Laws. The latter degree was also conferred at the same time by the State University of Iowa. t While Dr. King has thus been honored, both at home and abroad, it is worthy not only of in- cidental mention, but of constant iteration, that he has never used his position as a vantage ground to bring any promotion or honor to himself. He has not looked beyond his allotted duties in anti- cipation of reaching any higher place. Doubtless he has wisely thought that there is no higher place and no larger work. Be this as it may, he has never wavered in his evident purpose to build up and endow a successful christian college. To this one end he has devoted all his energies with a con- stancy that has never wavered, and a vigilance thatihas never slept. Withal he does not hold the position which he occupies either for the honor or the emoluments connected therewith. Certainly not for the emoluments of the office, for he serves the, Church and the State at a less compensation than any other man is known to do in a position of equal import- ance and dignity. He has never made his own compensation a matter of stipulation, and, whenever the affairs of the' College have been such as to demand retrenchment anywhere, the President is always the first to propose that his own inadequate salary shall be diminished, and diminished in greater ratio than that of any one else. And just as certainly, while he appreciates the honor of holding the headship of a prosperous college, he does not hold it for that honor alone. First, in 1873, and since that on several occasions, he has felt that he might lay down his work and formally tendered his resignation to the Board of Trustees. just as often his resignation has been unanimously declined. Thus he continues with us unto this day in simple obedience to his Lord's command, Occupy till I come. The History of his life is in a great measure the history of Cornell College, and is it not all written in the hearts of the hundreds of alumni who have been trained for honor and usefulness, and who have already, even at this early day, attained by scores and hundreds to positions of fair eminence in church and in state, from the Atlantic seaboard to the Golden Gate? Is it not ! I- written in the hearts of those other thousands who did not attain to the formal honors of graduation, but who attained in college halls the greater boon of inspiration and courage for 'the battle of life? Beyond the public life, to its inspiring support and inspiration in the home life, the curious eye of the stranger may not see. But to one who knew Margaret lVIcKell in Chillicothe, Ohio, in the olden days, this sketch would be incomplete without at least her name, just as the life of President King would have been incomplete without the sunny cheerfulness and child-like faith, and beautiful flavor of hospitality, that she brought to his home. To her President King was married in August, 1865. One child, the beautiful Lucy Hayes King, gladdened their home with infant prattle and childish innocence for a dozen years, and then one little year ago exchanged the uncertain possibilities of a sinstained earth for the many mansions in Ouif Heavenly Father's house, where the Lord God shall wipe away the tears from all faces. To these stricken hearts, the one bowed beneath the crushing weight of sorrow, the other carry- ing in concealment the pain of private grief in order to be faithful to the path of public duty, go up ten thousand prayers that they may have strength to endure, as seeing Him who is invisible, until the Angel of the Resurrection shall roll away the stoiie from the door of earth's myriad sepulchers, and until the Voice that once flashed across the darkness of earthly sorrow may again gladden the hearts of all earth's sorrowing millions with all the quickening power and glory of the old acclaim, He is not here. He is risen. HUGH Bovo. 6 ,CD . QXQJ .19 x ,QQ 2 f o f Q, SN - afrrzette QQXGXSQIQ, 65 Quik? Jw' X PROFESSOR HARRIETTE J. COOKE was born in Sandwich, New Hampshire. She is a descendant of the Puritans. In her ancestry four nationalities are represented, the English, Irish, Scotch, and French. Through her father she is related to the Adams family, whose characteristics, in some respects, she has inherited. When very young she imbibed the good old New England belief that a thorough education was the best of fortunes, and the greatest of helps to a life of usefulness. In 1853 she graduated at the New Hampshire Conference Seminary-now 'l'ilden College. As there were no colleges open to women in those days-:mf our-in all this land, she was obliged to gather what learning she could from the various schools and seminaries accessible to her, supplemented by aid from private instructors. She entered Cornell College as a teacher, in 1857,-its opening year. She was then a young woman possessing an innate ambition to excel in whatever she undertook to do? Her character was well adapted to aggressive and reformatory work, having in it the decidedly marked combination of strength and tender womanly sympathy. These qualities were much need- ed at that time in the genesis of this rapidly developing west. Prior to her coming to Cornell College she had been a successful teacher in the state of Massachussetts, in some of the thorough training schools for Harvard, Amherst, Dartmouth and other great colleges of the east. She was fully up with the times in the best methods of instruction and mental discipline required in those centers of learning. Having been born to her chosen life work, she has never failed to bear an en- viable reputation as a more than ordinarily successful educator. She has especially had stamped on her soul-as if by divine impress-a desire to assist in the higher education of woman. She has always been irresistibly impelled to earnest efforts in this direction from a profound conviction that it is only by intellectual and moral culture the world can be raised from the degrading influences of ignorance, and that this end can be best attained through the home by the true elevation of woman. This feeling has ever rendered her conscious of the importance of her high calling. She brought to her new held of labor an enthusiasm which was immediately recognized. Being unusually rigid in her requirements of work done by her pupils, she gained a reputation for over exactness that for a time, perhaps, was not altogether conducive to mere popularity. But with all their unfavorable criticisms, among thinking students, she soon commanded the highest respect. Those same students, now thinking men and women of middle life, entertain for her a sense of gratitude for the intellect- ual impetus she gave them. When they send their children to their Alma Mater to be educated, they almost invariably send in advance, a letter to Miss Cooke, requesting her to take an interest in the welfare of their sons and daughters. There are in her nature, strong moral elements of the most courageous kind. She is a fearless and faithful friend and helper to those whom she believes genuine and true, while ever ready and willing to go to those whose steps are tending downward and by words unmistakable as to their meaning, show them their danger, and offer them a helping hand when they make honest efforts to reform. When we are made to realize that it is thousands with whom she has been intimately asso- ciated, in the relation of teacher to scholar, it is safe to say that her ability to read character has seldom lcd her astray. In 1866 she was made Preceptress and still holds that position--hence her special work in moral and religious training has been given to the hundreds of young ladies who have been placed under her immediate charge. Could the united testimony of all these be gathered -with possibly a few exceptions-it would be that the strong appeals of Miss Cooke, to the noblest powers of their being were among the chief incentives of their lives, in trying to develop them- selves into the highest types of true womanhood. These influences neither time nor eternity can efface. Early in life her face grew serious and careworn from a realizing sense of the fearful responsi- bility resting upon her, a feeling that none can know but those who have consecrated themselves to lives of self-sacrifice for the good of others. Possessed of an active mind, and physical organization that seems to have never known weariness, she has endured unceasing toil for years, having in all her college life lost but one term and this because of disability resulting from a serious injury occasioned by a fall. So far from her nature is the spirit of selfishness, and a disposition to shirk life's responsibilities, and so great is her capacity to endure, she has generally done the work of two. 'G She plans and executes almost simultaneously, and rarely is her judgment in fault, hence she has accomplished great things. I She has penetrated to the depths of the Latin classics and mastered the German language, which has long been to her a fountain of perpetual joy, the full depths of which none but its masters can fathom, and the delicious purity of which none but those who drink deeply can know. In 1872 she was made Professor of German and History. It is said by those who profess to be informed upon this subject, that this was the first honor of the kind ever conferred upon a woman in the United States. These departments of the college she has built up and established on a firm' foundation. In 1886 she was relieved of the German, and made Professor of History and the Science of Government. Far reaching as is the department of History, she has penetrated deeply into its labyrinthine intricacies and found the silken thread which leads to its center-where is revealed the truth that the Lord God, Omnipotent reigneth, and that He holds the destiny of nations in His hand. She has a very just appreciation of what is strong and good in English and American Literature, and is widely read in both. She has added to her otherwise broad culture, by that most efficient help, extensive travel, having visited almost every portion of her own country. The year 1872, she spent in Great Britain and on the Continent, availing herself? of the advantages given by the London University for the study of History and Literature, also increas- ing her knowledge of the German language by the assistance of native teachers. She has always made it a point to learn as much as possible of the inner workings of the best institutions of her own and other lands. Information thus secured, she has tried to utilize in her own work, ever keeping herself far in advance of what was practicable to adopt here. Miss Cooke is a very pleasing and powerful public speaker, having frequently used her talents in this direction for the benefit of her college, and other philanthropic objects. She is a strong, terse writer, with a most interesting style, as is often shown by her class lectures, and papers read before literary and other organizations. She has been a zealous student of the Bible and a constant and successful teacher of it. This inspired volume has given her much of the wonderful faith, hope, and love she has in and for humanity. She is well informed on the affairs of state, and the science of business relations between man and man. In the sick room she is unusually skillful as a nurse. Many a young lady in school, severely attacked with disease, by her prompt attentions, has been spared a prolonged and in many cases, doubtless, a fatal illness. The department of housekeeping, in all its essential details, is not If considered by her outside the pale of genteel accomplishments. She can prepare the most elaborate meal with adegree of perfection scarcely below that of the most experienced housekeeper. Fortunate ate are they who have her name cupon their list of friends, for she will be to them loyal and true, cheerful and kind. This brief sketch is neccessarily but asuperficial review of the life and works of Professor Harriette DI. Cooke. It is to be hoped that something better may be given to the world concerning her, and all other tireless workers in the upbuilding of human character, that they may be justified in the sight of the world, as we know they are in the sight of God. Who shall dare say that in the scales of justice, thc imperfections to which the human race is heir, would not weigh lightly in the balance against a life so full of noble purposes and good deeds. C.

I C Hgh 5 ' u There are just causes for Cornell's growth 5 there are cogent reasons for her miraculous advance- ment. In this brief sketch, but one need be named-her alumni. One of the greatest thinkers of this century said that the history of a nation is the history of her great men. The success of Cornell College, her history of over a third of a century, is the history of her Bowmans and Kings, her Rigbys and Roods, and Elliotts, her Smiths and Harlans, her Freers and Marines, and a myriad other illustrious families. It is not too broad an assertion to say that Cornell College zlv her alumni, for the alumni absorb the other two parts of the trinity. This trinity is the Faculty, the Board of Trustees, the Alumni. But the latter largely compose the faculty, and direct its policy, they have an active corps in the board of trustees, and shape its legislation, so that the aforesaid premise with the italicised verb is true, though startling. - ' But in a broader sense is the history and success and the future of the College apart of the alumni. In a measure, Cornell breeds an aristocracy: for the alumni, broadminded and liberal as they are in almost all things, who believe generally that brain is better than blood, and culture superior to title, still hold that a graduate of Cornell is entitled to greater recognition than most anybody else except the President of the United States, or the new student with his first military frockg they rather look upon other people with a certain degree of pity, because they were not fortunate enough to have been graduates of old Cornell. They flock with Cornellites, they join their forces in church and state matters, and they seldom lose an undertaking. In looking into a Methodist Conference one will see this is true. When the Cornell boys close up ranks for Cornell, everything moves that way: their delegate is chosen, their candidate is elected. In a state convention it is the same thing. Hon. J. W. Akers owes his three terms of office as State Superintendent of Public Instruction to Cornell, and Prof. Sabin, the present incumbent, likewise. Educational circles all over the state feel the same influence. In three contiguous counties Y 8 5 in this state, the Cfounty Superintendents are Cornell boys, working together, for the interests of the schools, for themselves, and for their benign mother. At a recent Knights of Pythias banquet, of the eight speakers schosen, it was afterwards discovered by chance, that seven were alumni of Cornell. It was that same kind of chance, however, which characterizes the Cornell boys who always get together and go in on the united-we- stand idea. It iis this continual working together of the alumni in close harmony, this eternal enthusiasm for their Alma Mater, this constant advertisement of the College on the Hill by example and by conversation that makes Cornell possible, and makes the proposition true, that Cornell is her alumni. It would be of much interest, could one have plenty of scopeiito take a word walk over the the broad field of reminiscence of Cornell's alumni. He would probably begin with the time when the preceptress of an early day said to Dr. Emory Miller, Mr. Miller, will you ask the blessing P and who, looking demurely at the bread and molasses and water, which constituted the bill of fare of that time, gravely said, HI don't see any thing to say grace for. But there would be no place to end. Before one had finished, his children, who will some day be Cornell's alumni, would be telling of 'the new President, the new Preceptress, the new Rule 12, and the new way ,to fracture it. In a mathematical way, we have 328 alumni, 228 of whom are male, and 1oo female. 23 have crossed over into the better school beyond. The ministers number 47, the lawyers 6o, the teachers 65, the editors 1 1, the physicians 13, farmers 9, civil engineers 5, and 28 business men of one description or another: the other 67 are employed at something, fro our alumni always work. Mathematically again, though in a different ff degree. 141 have received the honorable title, 4' M. A.,', I24u M. S., 43 M. Ph., 2I 'LC E., I5 the honorary degree 4' M. A., 1 ff M. S., 16 D. D., 2 Ph. D., and 2 4' LL. D. In summing up the alumni of Cornell College, they can be said to be the livliest, most vivacious lot of men and women in Iowa, earnest and true to the sermons they have heard on the Mount, and loyal to the core. We used to sing this song at Cornell. Let us sing it again : L . In the sweet bye and bye, VVe'll all be alumni. .1 .1 ' 7f:','Z-ff -'Q .-Liiiiififs-5 J ' M H A -Q K ' '1 1 . , ' 1- ,H-U '-fe r.-1.2-'Z1A.'1hytf, X 4-if 1 . .1 .-1-i 1 , , A.

' ar The Amphictyon Society of Cornell College, was organized November 18, 1853, and is the oldest college literary society in Iowa. g It has been at once the parent and prototype of all the other societies in the college, and a centre from which have gone forth influences of literary culture and developed christian scholarship and manhood that have been felt far beyond the boundaries of our own commonwealth. In its list of charter members, twenty-two in all, are the names of Dr. Samuel M. Fellows, Principal of H Iowa Conference Seminary, afterwards until his death, President of Cornell College, and Dr. D. I-I. Wheeler, well known in the learned circles of the east and west, as present President of Alleghany College, Meadville, Pennsylvannia. ' These men, with those who have succeeded them, have not only given to the school eminence, distinction and prestige, but have also left to their society the legacy of their own splendid characters, to-day, and for thirty-five years, the standard of Amphictyonism. Truly these men builded better than they knew. i The history of the Amphictyon Society is coincident and neccessarily inseparably linked with that of the college, whose favor it has always known and whose interests it has ever held paramount. While it has experienced all the vicissitndes incident to pioneer life,'from the day of its birth to the present the society has never faltered in its zeal and industry. Always active in the matter of improvements, it has pursued the sound policy of making its material surroundings coliform to the growth and advancementof the school. . The society received its first great impetus iii the matter of hall-improvement in 1860, shortly after entering its present hall, since when, its development in this direction has been constant and uniform, until the story of its transition from the old dust-begrimed room of its earlier days, with bare door furnished with a few backless benches and lighted by a few tallow caadles, to the present 1' 'b spacious and elegantly equipped room, which has long been acknowledged the finest literary hall in the west, seems almost incredible. A The hall as it stands to-day is a room twenty by forty and sixteen feethigh, Its vaulted ceiling and accurately proportioned arched columns, with other appointments render its acoustic qualities perfect, while the easy opera chairs with which the hall is seated, and the pictures and statuary which adorn the walls give to the room an air of homelike comfort and attractiveness. The entire north end of the hall is occupied by a raised platform. On this platform stand the desks of the presiding officer and secretary, while in the rear on either side are placed richly finished walnut book-cases containing the society's select arid constantly growing library. On this platform also stands a Kranich 81 Bach H upright piaiio, one of the latest property ,acquisitions of the society. Two large flags, the most striking of all the decorations of the hall, drooped from the centre of the arch formed by the two columns in 'front of the platform, are held sacred as emblems of the nation, and reminders of the zeal and loyalty that inspired the hearts of the Amphictyon soldier boys of 1861-5, and serve to beget a like sentiment and patriotism. just before conimenoment, in 1887, the society placed Hin t'ie hall two beautiful and costly white bronze shields. . On these shields are inscribed the names of sixtyQfour Amphictyon boys who responded to thewar alarm of 1861, and went forth in the name of liberty to light th? battles of their country. .All proved valiant soldiers, some served with eminentdistinction, and nota few were H faithful even u.1to death. This number constituted the entire membership of the society, during the war period A physically qualified to bear arms. The first call to arms left but three members who could not go to their country's defense. Tnese three formed a nucleus from which grew the extensive membership of later years, and the claim that the Amphictyon 'society never disbanded for a single session in the thirty-five years of its history, is absolutely true. Above these shields, upon the south wall of the room, is a carved oak-leaf-the emblem of the Society-surniounted by the emblazoned motto, Ifflffllgflifl izzllfa rf!r01'szmz. U The Society's Alumni list, numbering one hundred and twenty-two, exhibits the names of such men as Capt. J. W. Akeis, df Ues Moines, for three terms Iowa's State Superintendent of Public Instruction, now 'President of Callanan College, Professors Jas. E. Harlan and H. H. Freer, of Cornell College, F. B. Gault, of Tacoma, Washington Territory, V Charles 'Marine, of Vinton, Edwin Esgate, of Marion, and T. F. Tobin, of Tilford Academy, in the legal ' 'lf 45 profession, such men as judge C. H. Lewis, of Cherokee, judge J. H. Preston, ,of Cedar Rapids, Hon. Milo P. Smith, Chas. W. Pollock, Eben Martin, and Senator Ben McCoy, and in the ministerial ranks and business circles, such men as Reverend l-E. K. Young, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Reverend Emory Miller, of Des Moines, Reverend J. A. Ward, of Cedar Rapids, Reverend R. D. Parsons, of Osage, C. E. Delamatter, resident missionary at Nagpore, India, and Colonel H. H. Rood, of Mount Vernon and J. C. Young, of Cedar Rapids, in the newspaper profession, such as Will F. Muse, of the Cedar Rapids Grzzeffe, Stephen Marine of the Vinton Obrcrzfw', Harry Hunter, of the Omaha Bef, and G. H. Ragsdale, editor of the LeMars S.cfzz'z'fzc!, and present State Printer of Iowa, and many others distinguished in the state and nation, in every calling and profession of life. S. H. Bauman, editor of the Mount Vernon Iizwkqvf, and F. J. Sessions, Superintendent of Schools for Linn County are notable home representatives of a large company of distinguished and successful ex-members. 1 . Of the present membership little need be said. The names of the class of thirteen members graduating this year with the rest of the roll of membership subjoined in this sketch, furnish a good basis for a comparative estimate of the relative strength of the society. , All words of fulsome flattery and self-comme-ndation seem inappropriate in this brief history, but it cannot be amiss to say that in the point of all that constitutes scholarly attainment, true worth and ability and genuine manhood, the Amphictyon boys of to-day are absolutely without superiors anywhere. The Amphictyon Society in contact with its rivals has sometimes met with reverses, generally in the minor contests for temporary advantage, but in every instance where principles'have been at stake, or real ability demanded, as in controversies that have attracted the attention of the college circles of the state, the society, uniting its friends, has proved more than an equal to the combined forces of all opposition. R. F. Hurlburt, B. C. Cory, D. Main, and others have been successful in home, state, and inter-state oratorical contests. A most notable event in the life of the society was the grand Reunion and Banquet given last commencement. No brief outline could do justice to that occasion! The event marked a new era in the history of the society and of the school. Never had a reunion been carried out on so extensive a plan, calling together 250 of the Alumni and ex-members of the society and college from all parts of the state and union. Never before had any society undertaken so gigantic and expensive a Yl- an enterprise. The arrangements were months in perfecting and the occasion successful beyond the expectations of its most sanguine friends, conferring permanent advawtage upon the school and society. Q V , ' , As an example of superior polity, the society points with pride to its plan for securing full historical data of its membership. This work is in the hands of a special standing historical committee that has carefully collected and arranged the history of every member ever connected with the society, and is continually adding thereto, as noteworthy events in the lives of the Alumni and ex-members and changes incident to mortality, may require. This committee has also finished a complete and connected roster of the society's membership from its foundation to date. The Amphictyon Society makes no idle boasts. Never in its history has it been so well quali- fied as now to cope with all competitors in fair and open fields. The society aims to afford its members an attractive literary home, to encourage and develop talent in every department of literary labor, to furnish instruction and practice in parliamentary law and the usages of deliberative bodies, to strengthen and perfect the bonds of friendship and brotherhood, in short, to aid its members in acquiring that extended scholarship and well rounded character which marked the lives of the society's founders, and have given distinction to their successors. In following this standard, and in prosecuting 'these aims for thirty-five years the Amphictyon society has a history that challenges comparison 5 for if its present status and the character and success of its members, 'past and present be the criterion surely the society would be sustained in claiming for itself e11zz'mwf 5zg9f1'z'01'1'2f1'.

HISTORY- In the fall of 1857, Miss Susan E. Hale, Preceptress of Cornell College, seeing the necessity of a young ladies' literary Society, set to work to interest the young women of the institution in such a movement. A hall was obtained and dedicated by Bishop Clark, December 4th, 1857. December 12th, 1857, twenty-one of the fair Lovers of Learning of Cornell, organized themselves into the Philomathean Society, with Miss S. E. Hale, President, Miss A. Collin, Secretary, and Miss L. A. Miller, Vice-President. ' The early history of the society is but the repetition of the struggles and difficulties of all new organizations. The society possessed a hall-only that and nothing more. For one year after the dedication the meetings were ,held in one of the recitation rooms. After many efforts to procure the means, the room was carpeted-the first one in the building to indulge in such a luxury. Later stoves were bought, and littleby little, furniture was added, and the walls relieved of their bleakness, by decorations and pictures. Since then the hall has been remodelled three times until now the girls have a delicate and beautiful room in which to assemble and receive their friends, in great contrast indeed to the bare and cheerless home of 1857. G In the spring of 1872, part of the Philomathean Society obtained a divorce and formed a society of their own. They had tired of drinking ever at the fountain of learning, and ceased to be lovers of it, but ratherrabecame 4' Lovers of the Beautiful, hence took the name of Ifisihrszlzfz. . To the hrst and second presidents, Misses Hale and Cooke, the society 'owes untold gratitude. It was through their watching and efforts that the child society was fostered and cared for, until able to stand alone and walk on its own responsibility. Both ladies being New Hampshire girls, and school-mates, graduates from the same college, it was but mete that they should labor together to advance culture and lay the foundation for a young ladies' literary society. In the new work as has been said, Miss Hale was the fomzziwf of the society, but Miss Cooke cafne in time to enroll as a charter member. Miss Hale was born in Conway, New Hampshire, in 182 5. She graduated from Tilden University, Northfield, New Hampshire, in 1851. From that time until 1857, she was a common school teacher. when she became Preceptress in Cornell College. She remained here uitil 1865. From 1867 to 1868 she was Preceptress in the college at Valparaiso, Indiana. From 1868 to 187o, we find her a successful tea'cher in the State University at Iowa City, Iowa. The three years following she was Professor of French in thefState Normal School at Bloomington, Illinois. In 1873, on account of poor health, she was obliged to resign her position. From this time until her death, in December 1879, she was a great sufferer. The six years from 1873 to 1879 she spent in Grinnell, Iowa, and Fillmore, Minnesota. In the latter place she died at the residence of her brother. She was loved by her pupils for her quiet, kind, unruffied, consistent manner. Although weak in body, she was strong in mind and character, The Philomatheans of to-day know Miss Hale only by her deeds, but in them they find enough to justify them in breathing a U Thank God that she lived, both for what she did for them and humanity. As a sketch of the life of Miss Cooke is elsewhere given in the Annual, wie defer repeating it. For her earliest efforts in behalf of early Philomatheanism we are trulyqthankful and give her a hearty f'God bless you and best wishes for her future welfare. 1 . In the twenty-one charter members, the states of Illinois, New York, New Hampshire, Massachussetts and Iowa were represented. Like Lincoln's Cabinet, however, the mingling of opposite streams but made a wider current. Nine of the number are dead. Of the twenty-one besides the two mintioned, Miss Be-ede, Mrs. M. A. Chubbuck Peet, Mrs. M. A. Oliver Kinsey, Mrs. M. C. McFarland True, York, Nebraska, Mrs. L. A. Miller Winslow, Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs. A, Matthews Cowles, Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Mrs. A. Collin Gillruth, Davenport, Iowa, are prominent ones. Miss Beede, we are told, was very talented in the literary line and gave promise of becoming quite a writer, but she died within a few iyears after graduating, in 1859. Miss Chubbuck taught for some time after graduating and then imarried. Misses Beede, Chubbuck, and Miller were the first graduates of the Philomathean Society. Miss Oliver, was a teacher in Cornell from 1858 to 1860. . Cf the Zzzfcr early years of the society, the names of Mrs. A. P.'Smead, Chicago, Illinois, Mrs. L. Cory Soper, Emmettsburg, Iowa, who in the time of the war delighted all with her patriotic writings, Mrs. A. B., Neff, whom it is said was such an able disputant as to discuss both sides of a question so creditably as to render it impossible for the President to give a decision, Miss M. A. B. VVitter, Mrs. Eugene. Wilde Olney and Mrs. Carrie Reed Cherrington appear among the most Y 'A noted members. - I ' i The Philomathean Society have the honor of sending from its halls the first lady missionary from Iowa, and the only one from Cornefl, in the person of Miss Carrie Reed Cherrington. She was a member of the Philomathean Society two years, was valrilictorian of her class, and a worthy member. She was an Iowa girl, her father being one of the pioneer ministers of that state. She was characterized by her quiet, devoted, christian life, and her marked mental activity. She was married to F. B. Cherrington in 1872, and entered upon her chosen work in India immediately She was permitted to remain in her loved field of labor but five years. Since then she has performed the duties of a pastor's wife faithfully and efficiently. On the 28th of December, 1887, she passed away at her home in San Fernando, California. Thus one of Cornell's noblest women, and one of the bright gems in the Philomathean-crown, was taken from earth. The Philomathean Society celebrated its thirtieth birthday last December. During those thirty years five hundred and twenty-eight girls have enrolled their names on her record books, and sevent-three graduates have gone from her into the world, sixty-two of whom are now living. The Philomatheans have shown their energy in being the first society to dedicate their hall, the hrst to carpet their floor, the first to obtain stoves, and the first to procure a piano. After thirty years of toil, the society looks back with satisfaetion upon the achievements of the past, and points with pride to the many noble women in the world who have been her daughters. The real of Philomatheanism to-day is but the fllliffflllf z'1z'ea! toward which those of the past aspired. ' MARY B. WEBB, RosELLA REEDER, Commiffce. E 4?

The history of all Literary Societies, is in many respects analogous. Their origin and purpose are in the main identical. But the development and progress of each, varies as the dispositions of their constituents. The Adelphian Society, of Cornell College, was founded in 1859, by Reverend H. S. Church. Prior to the civil war its existence is but the history of a heroic struggle for life. Organized in one room, it held its second meeting in another, until it secured a temporary home a in third. At the sound of the war bugle, every son of Adelphianism responded to its call. They sacrificed College and Society interests for the superior interests of their country. In 1865, the Society was reorganized by Captain E. B. Soper, and established upon a new basis and has ever since maintained a steady growth. About 1878, the Society secured its presenf'iHall and shortly afterward obtained possession of a convenient almzff by way of a purchase from the Board of Trustees. In hall improvements the Adelphians have been the pioneers. Upon the Adelphian floor was spread the first Brussels carpet, to her walls was applied the first touch of the painter's brush, from her ceiling swung the first chandelier, and as an outgrowth of this impulse, Cornell Society Halls have become the peers of the west in design, taste, and beauty. Still other movements initiated by the Adelphians of the past deserve recognition. Its Library, founded by Adolphus Peet, has a significant history. The successful efforts of the Society, under the able leadership of Galloway, Rollins, and Albrook in building up the Library, gave birth to a a Literary impulse that was felt throughout the school. With this movement were associated interests that have survived the occasion upon which they were issued, interests that led to the acquisition of the present College Library. The Society Library, at present, contains 1175 volumes of ancient authors, Histories, Biographical, Literary, Philosophical and Poe-tical works, together with numerous reference books. It should be a part of the ambition of every Literary Society to extend its beneficent functions beyond itself, and so far as consistent to every individual. Such is the mission, such has been the practice of the Adelphian Society, to all beyond the relation of menbership.. Its purpose relative to its individual members is to enlighten their understanding, to exalt and improve their natures, to ascertain and vindicate their rights as men 5 as members of society, and of a common- wealth, and to teach them to pay no implicit submission but to truth, reason, law, their conscience, and their God. Progress is its motto, duty is its watchword, beneficence is its motive. The membership of the Society during the past year has been about 45. The present enroll- ment is 36. The following were successful orators at hmm' rozzffsz' of recent years : R. G. Cousins, G. W. jones, H. J. Bowder, B. D. Smith, and S. T. Mears. The following were successful orators at the state contest: J. G. Eberhart, B. D. Smith. The Adelphian Society is proud of its Alumni. A very large majority of them are graduates of the leading courses of the college. They consist of an army of Izo staunch disciples of the brotherhood, and earnest advocates of Cornell, and the cause of education. They represent all the leading professions. In the pulpit, at the bar, behind the desk, and on the farm, they are contrib- uting to the wants of mankind. From their reports as they come to us from time to time, we reach the cheering deduction that ours is a perpetual brotherhood. And it is the proud boast of the Adelphian boys of to-day that in the various departments of human activity, they may learn from their elder brothers the instructive lesson of success. Some have fallen on the battlefield, and repose in the silent, unmarked graves of the South. Some have been the sad victims of accident, and filled untimely graves. Some have gone down to death in the morn amid the blooming hopes of life, but none have lived in vain. None have died without leaving to posterity, that grandest of legacies, zz gona' imma. While in society, they learned well the instructive lesson of virtue and self-reliance, a lesson that no Adelphian has ever forgotten. The present constituents of the Society evince its condition, and bespeak its prospects of future success. Tliey consist of a class of earnest, spirited young men, who manifest a decided interest in all that gives tone and vigor to society, and to all that subserves the higher purposes of association. Within the Society there are no factions, but sufficient competition to sharpen rivals and inspire and support a spirit of progress. The business sessions of the Society, are a feature of primary and special utility. The efficient manner in which they are conducted, together with the original thought contributed and the consequent diversity of opinion expressed, give to these exercises a depth and breadth of interest thoroughly enjoyable by all, and truly beneficial to every participant. And it is apparently a part of the ambition of each member to be heard wiflz ejfecf, upon every occasion. A brief review of the minutes indicate, that there was a time when the Society was controlled by chief moguls, but the day of individual leaders in the Adelphian Society, is past. There are now no Richelieu's or Cromwells, for it has become a ffpeerless x0fz'ezj1. Formerly the programs were chiefly in the line of debate, now the exercises are varied and ,more formal, The ambition for extemporaneous speaking, oratory and discussion are all absorbing. Since it implies scholarship, the will to be, and to do. The real condition of a society is best known through a knowledge of the constituents' relation toward it. ' The attitude of the Adelphian members to all the interests of the Society, is comprehended in the word enthusiasm-consecrated, judicious enthusiasm. In view of the aforesaid, it is no exaggeration to say that the Society rests upon a Hrm foundation. It has the good-will oft the two principal recruiting sources, and fears not to vie with its adversary for the spoils of the third. In fact the Adelpliian Society of to-day sails in a strong, well manned ship, upon a smooth sea, beneath a clear sky. 1 S. B. MoN'rooMERv, G. H. KERR, l1Us!0rz'a71.v. 'ls L. ..

Recogniz- ing the necessity for two literary societies for ladies, and believing that emulation would strengthen each, the nineteen charter members, 'fafter much forethought and careful, measuring of results,', withdrew from the Philomathian society of which they were members, and took the neccessary steps toward establishing a new society. The first meeting was held in the Amphictyon hall, and Qphelia Matson, who had been President of the Philomatheans, retained her office in the new society. Among the most active charter members may be mentioned, Lizzie McKell, Lou M. Freer, Dinnie McDole, Lillian I-Iurlburt, Clara Cooley, and Myra Davis. At the opening of the fall term only five members responded to the roll call, but though few in number their courage never faltered and success attended their efforts. At the close of the term twenty-two members were enrolled. Since then, the Estliesiaiis have generally been prosperous, Like all the literary societies, they have had their ups and downs, but even when members were fewest they have always had enthusiasm and energy. The past few years have been very prosperous ones. The membership ,has been large. The hall has been fitted up and is tasteful and attractive, and the large audiences show that the programs are appreciated. P 1 Since 1872, the number of graduates' sent out by the ladies' societies is nearly equal. For six years the fEsthesians held their meetings in the Amphictyon hall, but in 1878 a large hall was granted them. Believing that Union is strength, they granted the request of the Star society t3 become joint owners of the hall. The arrangement has been advantageous to each. They have had some disagreements, but have always H made up, and been better friends than ever, afterwards. The object of the society has been to aid its members in acquiring literary, and social culture, and, in the words of its charter members, 4' to co-operate for the mutual good of each. and make it their emulation to vie with each other in things good and noble. Although the society is young, many of its members are taking an active part in the world's war, and are worthy of mention. We can only speak of a few: Mrs. Dinnie McDoles Hays, of Denver, Colorado, is known as a contributer to eastern inagazines. Mrs. R. L. Rowe, and Mrs. Professor S. N.

Armstrong, C. A. Beard, W. Benjamin, W. A. Burleigh, Geo. Clark, R. B. Croster, J. G. Eberhart, H. H. Freer, J. P. Haskins, G. C. lllingsworth, M. L. Kerr, V. M. Law, M. B. McClintock, H. D. Moore, E. G. Lobeck, C. A. Rogers, and R. C. Rogers. They first met in Room No. 2 of the main College building, and continued to meet in said room until the year 1878, when they rented the old Amphic- tyon hall, where they might hold their programs, but were obliged to enter their former place of abode for the transaetion of all necessary business. ln these places they continued to meet until the year 1882, when the Amphictyons remodellcd their hall, closed their doors against the Miltonians and drove them back to their father's dwelling in Room 2. By this time the society had grown very strong, both socially and financially, and would not put up with a recitation room any longer. They appealed to the Faculty and to Professor H. H. Freer, its founder. They went with a wanderer's pitiful story To the executive board for relief, but all to no avail. Homeless and friendlesslthey were left to guide their own ship in an unknown sea, beset with unsurmountable barriers on every side. They met in counsel and after along and careful consideration resolved to abandon the ship and carry back its worldly goods to its founder. So its forty members dissolved the society bonds which had formerly united them, and left it there to perish. From this time it remained in a state of dormancy until the spring of 1883, and all but live of its members had either left school or joined the collegiate societies, when the Faculty offered them their present hall on condition that they would furnish half the funds to repair it. This offer was accepted, and the remaining force again set to work with a zeal which showed that the many hard knocks and rubs which had been given them had broadened their views and served as a polishing stone upon their intellects. The society grew rapidly from this time forward, and in 188 5 was stronger than it had been at any former period. Its present hall is situated on the second Hoor of the main college building and from its windows may be had a hne view of the surrounding country. Its spacious walls are beautifully decorated and the folded curtains hold.back the heated rays of 1-noondayis sun. As a whole, its appearance is very attractive, and great is the multitude which assembles within its doors on the Friday evening of each week to listen to the literary programs which are there given. As a society it has met with the most satisfactory results. Its ex-members are found in nearly every department of life and their names have added double blessings to the work in which they have been engaged. It is at present in a very prosperous condition. With a good man at its masthead, guided bya well managed rudder, and manned with forty-eight noble workmen, it is ploughingits way straight forward in a Well- bounded line of success. It points with pride to the representation which it has in the two collegiate societies and glories in the saying that the most brilliant minds which are found there received their first literary training in the Miltonian hall. With such inspiring thoughts, ready hands, and willing hearts, it will remain in the future as' it has been in the late past, a shining light in the College of Cornell.

Watts, ST AR SGCIETY HISTORY. In the fall term of 1875 and '76, Professor Harlan was given permission to found a literary society for young men, a task which he faithfully performed. The Society was founded February 11, 1876, with nine charter members 5 was named the Star Literary Society of Cornell College, and chose for a motto, Mens ager nosterf, It niet in room 7 till 1878. But room 7 was not a pleasant society hall, so the boys resolved to build one. But where was the money to come from P They had that independent spirit for which every true Star is noted, and resolved to earn the money. ff joe Dobson was going to lecture through the summer vacation while others undertook other work. We are unable to state what was done with the money earned, but we know the hall was never built, for in, the spring term of 1878 a compact was made with the fEsthesian Society, to jointly occupy the room now known as the Estliesiaii and Star hall. During the fall term of the sameiyear, an invitation was received from the fEsthesian Society to attend a sociable and necktie party. The Stars attended in a body, and each received a necktie of Aesthesian make to beautify his person. In the winter term, an invitation was received from the Philomathean Society to attend a sociable. The compliment was returned by inviting that society to attend the business meeting of the Star Anniversary programe. Soon after they sent an invita- tion to attend their program, and the year closed with another invitation from the same society, to attend a festival, which of course was gladly accepted. The success of the society, had great effect upon the boys. They began to make themselves noticeable. They would put on their best attire and march up to the hall with great dignity. The repeated invitations from the Iisthesian and Philomathean societies seemed to make each one feel that UI am the one the ladies love, and acting on this belief their sociables soon became more entertaing than any in the college. The Stars were called the 4' mashers of the school, which name they have since held with honor. About this time they also became noted for a characteristic which has ever since been the mark of a Star. That independent spirit, so neccessary to freedom, which says ff Every man is a king, and which impels a Star to stand before the world and advocate his opinion regardless of public sentiment. But while the Stars were in the height of their glory, a crash came, which for a time stopped their growth, especially in the minds of the XEsthesians. Oh, will it ever be forgotten ! Will the Stars of that day ever tire of repeating the time they had over the purchase of the piano? The piano fight has been the great and only ight with the Histhesians. The ladies became musical and placed a piano in the hall, without consulting the Stars. This injured the Star dignity and an explanation was asked but none was given. The fEsthesians would lock the piano when the Stars held Programs, and, as a source of revenge, the Stars ordered it to be removed when they used the hall. The ladies then offered to to rent but the boys rejected the proposition and again objected to it being in the hall till a settle- ment was reached. This made the Esthesians still more severe and they at once sent a committee to buy the Star portion of the hall, but the society refused to give up their claim at any price. Then followed a series of arbitrations, and two joint business meetings. After several propositions were made and rejected by both societies, a settlement was reached and the great piano war was at an end. The Anniversary program of I88O was one of the best of the year. The society was called to order by Professor Harlan, with S. H. Cranmer as secretary. After program and sociable. the business meeting was called and speeches heard from thirty-three Ex-Stars. Before adjourning, old time music was called for, and the hall rang with that old song, We are all heref' Professor Harlan also presided over the Anniversary programe of 1881, with G. W. Keister as secretary. The spring term of 1881 the Aesthesians were invited to attend the installation of officers, which invita- tion they accepted. After the installation, the society took them to the ice cream parlors and attempted to make them sick eating ice cream. Although a Star scheme, it proved a failure. The ladies seemed proof against cream, but several of the boys felt the effects of their folly so strongly that they vowed never again to try to make a girl sick eating ice cream. But the difficulty was not yet ended. The Faculty made serious trouble as soon as they found there had been a feast and they not invited. The matter, however, was quietly adjusted by the society making due apology for having had the banquet. During the fall term of 1884 and '85, the hall was refitted and dedicated by a joint program. The winter term of '83, the society had for special program, a trial of certain members for breaking Rule 12. A Greenback convention was the next special program, Benjamin F. Butler being nominated for President of the United States. During the year 1885 and '86, the time for adjournment was made thirty minutes earlier than the time stated in the charter. A hard fight was made against this measure, but of no avail. After being locked in the college building several times, and getting into trouble for springing the door to get out, it was agreed to adjourn at the time ordered. The banquet of this year was a grand success. Professor Harlan and wife, Professor Freer and wife, Miss Bancroft and father, Miss Cooke, Miss McClung, and other professors and teachers being present. Toasts were being freely offered, and some Star schemer seeing that it would be after ten ofclock before an adjournment could be reached, stole out and told the janitor to lock up, About half past ten the society adjourned. Several members of the Faculty were first to reach the door and to their surprise, found it locked. After waiting for some time it was again sprung, but the society was not censured by the Faculty for springing the door on this memorable evening. During the spring term of 1886, the hall was again repaired and placed in the beautiful condition it is at present. The society always took the lead in sporting as well as in literary circles. In the spring of 1884, a challenge from the Miltonian society to kick a game of football was accepted and they were defeated without an effort. Other teams were also defeated and the society established such a record in foot ball that their place in the lead has never since been questioned. They were no less successful in base ball. Every society team was defeated and the school challenged for a hnal game. The Society held the laad about two years, when the honor was transferred to the Adelphians, and has since been divided, no one team ever holding it as long as did the Stars.j The Stars of to-day have the same characteristics that marked the Stars of the ipast. Boys igorant ofparliamentary rules here learn to twist Rob3rt's Rules of Order into any shape, to carry a point. The book is authority in the class-room, or on the ball-grounds. In fact, wherever there is a Star, Robert's Rules of Order are enforced. The boys still have great love for the ladies. They hold first place in the reception room at Bowman Hall, and never fail to do honor to Rule 12. At present the Society has forty-three active members, picked from among the best sons of Cornell, all of which have the interest of the Society at heart, and glory in making it the best in the College.

The author repectfully desires to be classed among these latter. Veriia .vans pear has ever been our motto, and although difficult to do, we have held firmly to it in the main. We believe that a historian should be a philosopher of the most subtle discrimina- tion. History is but revealed philosophyfl A man who is not a philosopher should incur the extremest penalty of the law for trying to be ia historian, for he is wasting his time. We believe that a historian need not confine himself to facts, provided he does not transcend the bounds of probability, for the lines between fact and fiction are so dimly drawn that some one has aptly said H all history is a fable agreed upon.

'l' We have several other pet theories that we might advance but we believe we have so plainly heralded our purpose that no wayfaring man need err.I To these principles we purpose to firmly adhere, excep- tions being made in special cases only. To the discriminating reader, a fine thread of gold in the shape of truth will be found running through' this entire work, and your attention is respectfully called thereto. T he present Senior class averages twenty-four and a fraction years of age,g and while all of them are deserving of notice, yet by special arrangement with the author, only a-few are hereby immortalized. The iirst time we all awoke to a consciousness of our existence, was in the spring of '86, when we were united as one Qor rather twoj in an oratorical contest on the field of fame when the inimitable- Cadmus,lI by an adroit Hank movement put to rout the oppositiop and bore his laurels home with childish QManly Q triumph. 1l Since then we have demurely pursued the even tenor of our ways, working each in single harness, withpnever a thill broken nor a tug slacked although our youngest has at times become refractory and almost smashed the dashboard. And to- day we stand 4' alone in our glory, the only Senior class of Cornell who have a history. We will now proceed to introduce those with whom we have made special arrangements. Our President, Geo. H. Kennedy? was born and raised in the Sodom X of Iowa, and considering his youthful environments, is a prodigy. We refrain from comments or allusions, but would refer those curious, to back tiles of the Cnrzzcflliazz. Mr. Kennedy is six feet tall and good looking, but probably 1'1Ot eligible. ' .

He tried both music and art, the former of which was a failure, but the latter was an immense success. He is preparing for law, but we would suggest missionary to the cannibal islands. It is immaterial, however, for he is too tough to be injured in either case. Teddy DeButts,'t of Kentucky river water fame, left over from the class of '86. H-e-'s a-l-l r-i-g-h-t. He is authority on anatomy aid physics, having made the startling discovery that frogs live longer after they are dead than any other animal. A S M. J. Tobin, of Vinton, is becoming celebrated asa Historiographer and Physicist. He has had a varied existence. Born during the struggle for state supremacy. Was President of the class of '88 during its critical Sophomore year, delegate to Des Moines in ' 87, Professor of Elocution and Gymnastics in Tilford Academy, and late President of the Amphictyon Society. We under- stand he has several commendable projects in view, one of which is to reduce the surplus Qof bachelorsj and another is a new system of geographical measurements in which the spheriodal form of the earth is considered. By his system a quadrant contains 940. Of late his energies have been directed towards the organization of a new fmnzlf society. Sherman Tecumseh Mears, whose god-father was of the same name, is in many respects, a remarkable individual. We know that he has a future before him. The Law of Low :lf is the guiding principle of his life. He excells in Dual Coniiicts and is generally Second himself. We believe that here was his fatal error, and if he had employed some one to help him the result would have been different. P , .,C. L.

J As yet he has neither attained to an ofhce norfmade' a point of order which was well taken, but we think he augurs well for the future, and will attain to eminence unless he should unfortunately get impaled on the hm-zz ryf a 1z'z'!mz11m. W. M. Wright, senior member of the Red-Headed Aristocracy. The chief characteristic of his form is the angle of 45 O that his heels make with his toes.

He was born inithe full of the indian, which may account for some of his proclivities TColonel Tom Thumb. PF Hopkins Moral Science. 'Z at the present time.

He expects to follow the persuasion of an engineer and no doubt before he dies he ivill succeed in building a bridge from Bowman Hall to the Clllffff. He is of a nomadic disposition, and is always found with H Butler nearest his heart. - james Stearns Pingrey, from the Cherokee nation is rich, and therefore has been able to purchase the right to a short sketch in this history. His most distinguishing characteristic is his beazzfzfzl Roman nose. His existence can only be accounted for from the fact that f'Nature abhors a vacuum. Formerly Mr, Pingrey was noted for his devotion to the ladies, but during the past year his entire time and energies have been devoted tothe raising of a mustache, which on the rst of April, accord-y ing to the report 'of scientists was faintly visible to the strongest microscopes. They predicted at that time that it would be visible to the naked eye by commencement time. Since this encouraging report was received, Jim Qdisregarding its date j, has relaxed his efforts, and has been recruiting his wasted energies on the tennis ground where his graceful CPD playing has been admired by all beholders. Gne of his most graceful movements has been ,represented by our artist in his heading for the Tennis Club. Mr. Pingrey expects to become Professor of Civil Engineering in some eastern college. He will be open for engagements after june zrst. fLadies please take noticel Sammy Bruce Montgomery, the poet, the scholar, the beauty of the class, hails from the rhubarbs of Sioux. City, the modern Eden, where the Prince of Darkness has his largest standing army. We canlt tell why Sanr left unless it was to start one of his own. He is remarkable for the quickness with which his cool temper gets the'best of him. His record as a book agent is remark- able, having-in his short experience talked no less than fifteen persons to death. At present he is neck and neck with Jim Pingrey in the race for a moustache, but we bet on jim. He has secured a school, and the happy smile on his own and his lady's face indicate there is something in the wind. His future in the law is undeniable, and ere long he will occupya prominent place behind the barf s j. The only thing we have been able to learn in regard to Joseph Meredith Moore, is that he is putting in his best licks for a namesake of the inventor of steamboats, but owing to the modern improvements in steamboats, he may get left. We forbear to mention the ladies of the class, for previous experience has shown that they are a delicate subject to handle. ja ,Q , ' X ,..-., - . X X K,gHN :,-jg.

The class historian, having left town suddenly owing to a whim of the Faculty, Qalso owing several other peoplej it seems that at this late hour nothing better can be given to the press, than an extract from the Secretary's record book. The following minutes have been, hitherto, guarded from the curiosity of the public by means of a padlock, a bull-dog, and the Secretary's intricate system of pemnanship. We hope that the translation here given may at least furnish our readers with .an unbiased opinion of the Class of '89, its motives, methods and members. The few irregu- larities appearing in the minutes were probably caused by the secretary's anxiety as to what he ' E. HELMS, jT'CllI.Yfflf0l'. Signed VV. E. CADMUS, Sfrfbr. CHAS. RAscH, Rfybffr. would have for breakfast. The junior Class met in Utopia Hall at 5:45 A. M. April 28, 1888. President Manly occupied the chair. ' Mr. Cole moved that we pass to the order of Election of New Members. The following persons were declared worthy of admission. F. W. Lonsbury 5 a man of weight in college circles who will be useful when we again need to sit down on fractious ' 88. . ' E. K. Coe: an ex-member of the Black Hills chain gang. Once wrote poetry but has reformed and is now a prosperous Senior-tamer. Chas. Rasch 3 recently imported from Europe as raw material. Said to have classed as Junior by making up the picnic during vacation. If so he is now faithfully reviewing that study. G. S. Kirkpatrickg left Pennsylvannia when young and became a western engineer. As he is not a fire-eater some one else must account for the gnawed appearance of his mustache. J. W. Haysg has taken several prizes as champion consumer of one-cent stamps. Is the author of several articles concerning Devils of Fiction in which he has shown a thorough acquaintance with his subject. l:See Brimstone programs, etcj ' F. E. McMaster5 our Sioux City exotic. The only man who can give a Shakespeare quotation in seven different ways. It is said ,that the Sophomore Woodpecker hat was chosen in loving remembrance of him. ' V. B. Dolliver, holds championship on Petitions to the Faculty for Piiblics, Lectures, etc. Histbry states that the division of Virginia was caused by his failure to win the prize ata baby- show during the war. Our Sophomores miss him sadly, for they have no one who can stand in his shoes. The neophytes were then brought forward and initiated by the Philomathean ceremony. A. E. Young rose to a question of privilege and asked that the historian be ordered to omit all jokes concerning him which had appeared more than three times in any single copy of the Cornellian. The historian was so instructed. g 5 Society passed to Reports of Committees. Miss Brown reported that the printing committee had collected 112 per cent of the amount assessed. Had also received a bill of 42 cents for two hundred Brimstone programs and seventeen gallons of paste, but could not advise payment. . 1 B. L. Remick Cescaped from Waverly before its citizens became so famousj reported as coin- mittee on oratory. Several full-blooded orators from other schools were planning to appear here next year, but might not all succeed. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that our junior oratory will soon persuade the Faculty to abolish compulsory attendance at chapel. W. E. Manly Qfrom dear old Anamosaj presented a partial report on athletics. Boxing is an uncertain pastime, tending to develope the muscles of the nose, much as football expands the feet. Base-ball is not a success this season. Crickets will not appear until warmer weather. Arrangements are being made for another series of catch-as-catch-can matches, between ' 88 and ' 89 to take place at the junior Picnic, to be followed by a swimming contest in which only Seniors would be expected to engage. I T. S. Cole, Supervisor of Foreign and Domestic affairs, announced the following appointments. Miss Tubbs to be Womans' Suffrage Delegate fat largel - Miss Cousins to be Missionary to the sublime La Porte. Mr. W. E. Manly to be Minister at Court of Florence. W Miss Sutherland, as Committee on Reformation of Seniors, could not report progress. The attempt, made at the begining of the year, to improve the appearance of the class by means oflnew hats, seemed for a time successful. But the instant the hats were removed the class fell back into 0 5 ' 1 its natural state of barbarism, and fled from the refining influence of ladies' society so wildly that silk hats, seniors, lamp posts and profanity were mingled in one wild chaos. And even more recently they made an effort to falsely condemn our entire class without giving one opportunity for fair defense. Fortunately Wright was bound to be with the Juniors and though the speaker was completely carried away with his own eloquence, the audience appeared to be unable to follow him. W. R. Joslyn gave a cheerful rfzport on Sophomores. The class seems to be composed ot simple and harmless creatures, who will doubtless gradually improve,.although at present without one endearing Grace. At Junior Ex. the class showed an unusual regard for Law, and the attempt to fill the lamps with water was probably caused by ,9O,S surplus of Prohibitionists, and not by the fact that the class loves darkness rather than light. J. L. Stackhouse attempted to report on Hnance committee, but was suppressed as soon as his intention was discovered. Wilbur Cobb awoke, and moved that the, picture committee tell why a Senior was permitted to purchase one of the junior photographs. 1 W. E. Manly explained that the Senior had no evil-intentions, but wished to present the picture to the museum. Explanation accepted. W. E. Cadmus recommended that, preliminary to dismissing this incomparable assemblage, Miss Goudy be unanimously solicited to exercise the prerogatives appertaining to a directress to facilitate and systematize our simultaneous intonation of the class yell.

This being the case, we are glad to be able to introduce to you the Class of 'go as a class of wzkc fools. As its mem- bers entered Cornell they immediately saw, with characfteristic brilliance, that their only hope of es- caping a place in the common category of foolishness was to be enrolled in the Sophomore class. This has been the goal of their ambition everpsince, and so nobly have they striven to attain it 'that now, being Sophomores: we have the pleasure, if not the reputation, of being the best class in school. We may not all be handsome, but those who are lacking in this respect more than make up for it in style and smartness. In our studies we are well-nligh ubiquitous Qjunior word Q, ranging from Senior Prep., German through Freshman, Sophomore and junior studies, up to Senior International Law, and we are well represented in the Music and Art departments. Our colors are peacock blue and golden brown, which seems to have been the Freshman taste also 5 but we got them first, so the Freshmen had to be content with red and green 5 and we enjoy the distinction of being the nrst class in school to come out in colors. There are only two classes where you will linda strictly select audience, z'. 0. only wearing Sopho- more colors. One of these is in the Sophomore Lecture-room, where we sit for a college hour and think of nothing while we are lecftured at. The other is at Essay Classes. There are two of these. The first division, under Professor Cooke, is said to possess a great deal of latent talent. The rising geniuses of this class have distinguished. themselves by the composition of wonderfully dramatic tragedies and comedies, withering satires, mournful dirges, thrilling romances, lofty epics, songs, etc. The other division, under Professor Boyd, possesses about the same amount of talent, pos- sibly not quite so latent. As we speak Eve languages-Greek, Latin, German, French and English, also slang on occasion-our great thoughts are not allowed to pine away in silence for want of ex- pression. We are quite affectionately disposed toward each other, and every one else, in fact. Indeed, this part of our nature is so highly cultivated that we even love the Freshmen, and many of us have possessed ourselves of their red and green, much as it offends our superior taste. to show our feel- ing toward the class. Some have accused us of sentimentalism. It is needless to say they were Freshmen. All those who have gone before know too well that Sophomore History would take the sentiment out of a Harold Skimpole. On the contrary, we are intensely practical. We have studied Zoology and-pursued the fieeing spider to his lonely lair, and drowned him out for a speci- men, without a pang. We have studied Physiology and pried unfiinchingly into the internal economy of Professor Williams' cats, in the cause of Science. Is this sentiment? You have probably often heard the statement that Sophomores are conceited. This may be true, as a rule, but if so we are a shining exception. Truth demands, however, a statement of the facfts in the case. Wherever you find one of us-which, as has been already stated, is almost any- where-you find him among the first, in work or play. Go coasting, and you find the best and swiftest sleds on the hill belong to Sophomores. The best guides are among our boys, the best guided among our girls. Who but a Sophomore girl went coastingwitha certain Senior, QI. S. P.,j and escaped without a scratch P . Lawn tennis we by no means despise, aid have some good players, and base-ball also claims several devotees among our boys. Our class meetings and eleetions have been most peaceable, and we haven't done anything to the juniors except throw out insinuations which caused them to tremble for a week prior to Junior Ex. What a sigh of relief they jointly and severally heaved as the last orator took his seat, and no- body was killed and only a few of the audience injured-probably-by the mental strain. To be sure, two doves of peace fiew in-by chance-during the last oration, but this was only a token that the public bore no malice toward the class, and recognized the fact that they were not to blame for having an Ex. No doubt curiosity is excited as to the looks of the class of ' go. Wu are assorted sizes-with a prize in every box-anywhere from five feet to six feet two or three, and some of our girls are so tall that their high hats collide with buggy tops and neccessitate putting down of the same. We can show you aiy style of beauty, from the darkest of brunettes, with 4' ravin locks and eyes to match, down through all shades of brown hair-with a little auburn by way of variety-blue, brown, gray and hazel eyes,-down to the blonde beauty of our members from Ohio and Schleswig- Holstein. g We might give you many personals, but that would be useless, there are no typical characters in our ranks. Nothing less than an intimate acquaintance, a composite photograph, or a class History could convey an idea of the Class of ' go. Even the latter means fail-the reality beggars description. 21.-f:.::f1.:: pgs. ,gan , , , tr, ai-3 2,2 5.23114 A 1' if-,V ff ' ',-g P' N v.

The ladies arrayed in all the art and panoply of female conquest, the gentlemen wearing philosophic features, and the customary dry goods, all stalk slowly forth upon the stage, make their great and mighty bow, smile condescendingly upon the timid little Soph. out in the audience, and seat themselves for your inspection. What do you think of them? They form a rather varigated looking lot. YVho is that gentleman who occupies the central chair of the semi-circle. He wriggles about as though he had eaten a box of hsh-hooks. That is Mr. Greene, the class President. He is very prone to talk, when there is nothing to talk about. Perhaps he will tell us something in regard to the class after while. just look at those two ladies up toward the end of the circle. How they talk! 'Tis Miss Love and Miss Soper. They have great reputations as conversationalists Q in faet their powers are absolutely inexhaustible in that respect. Do you see those two young ladies sitting next to them? 'Tis Misses Mears and Adams. Miss Mears intensely longs for the day when she shall become a Sophomore. She hopes and expeets to make it this term. Oh vain delusive hope! Miss Adams also hopes to make Sophomore. But she is class Secretary and cannot be spared. Oh child of Adam, why wouldst thou leave us? That is Miss Fancher there. 'She is an advocate for the a'nelioration of japanese. In her odd hours she chews gum and writes poetry for the local newspapers-charming gum-charming poetry. Those two sedate and solemn young misses over toward the corner are Misses Hayes and Smith. Miss Hayes is of a mathematical turn of mind, and knows more about the circle than a ringmaster. She now looks like she might be dreaming of conic secftions, differentials and asymptotes. There is a womens' Wright in the class, but you would hardly call him Divine, in fact, he is very human. That is he sitting over against the wall. Miss M-, his lady friend, calls him Herbert. The gen- tleman with the very absorbed, theological expression of countenance, who. with his arms folded across his breast, sits there as solemnly as a tombstone upon its pedestal, looks very much like wood- cuts of Henry Ward Beecher you have seen posted upon the dingy walls of little country depots. However it is not he, but Mr. Chipperfield, of course. He is one of our Nebraska students, and is quite an authority on all topics. Any question you may refer to him-political, physical, psycholog- ical or paradoxical, he will settle it for you, positively and absolutely. You are looking at that gentleman of extended proportions who sits next to Mr. Chipperheld. It is Mr. Walters. He is the best base ball player in the College and is especially at home in the pitcher's box. The gentle- man with the fierce moustache who sits near him is Mr. Law, of Honolulu Islands, He has met his man in the pugilistic ring, ranks Cwybonzf in the military department, is advance agent for the Cornell College Glee Club, and will bet money that he has a finer complexion than any girl in Bowman Hall. ff Yes my son that sad-faced young man, who has the appearance of being old before his years, Av 11zaz'rz'm'. Let the agonizing expression of his face ff be a warning to thee, oh my son, as well as to any other young ma'i who contemplates that dreadful, complicating step. Mr. Gray is even now, perhaps, dreaming of days of sing-le blessedness, when the load of respon- sibility was not double, and his steps untrammeled by check or hindrance. The gentleman who sits next to Mr. G. is Mr. Alexander, of Plattsmouth, Nebraska. Western people often speak of that state as Sunny, Sandy Nebraska. Mr. A. seems to have brought considerable sun, and still more sand hence from his valley home. But Mr. Greene has risen and is going to speak, and we must be quiet and listen to his remarks. I hope they will be brief, for-there he goes.- Ladies and gentlemen: I have the pleasure of introducing to you, the Freshmen Class of 1888. There are 56 of us in all, as you have already found out if you know how to count. The ladies of the class number 22, and the eldest says 'fshe is not a Illllili' over 17. Of the 56 members, 36 are irregular, of whom 24 are carrying studies ahead of their course, and 22 are bringing up Preparatory studies. In class work the Freshman class is undoubtedly superior to any other class in the college, as grades will show. In all sports and outdoor exercises Freshman muscle leads the van. Time and time again has Freshman skill and valor outdone the gushing Sophomore upon the diamond and the bloody sands. Often upon the rostrum has the Freshman met with the upper collegiate when victory perched upon his banner. His orations are songs of eloquence comphrehensive and pregnant with power. In entertainment and the arts the ladies are adepts. Seekers after the beautiful and aesthetic go to a Philomathean or Aesthesian sociable, and talk with one of the bright and amiable ladies of the Freshman class, and there you will meet beauty and art- noble beauty-noble art. The present Freshman class is considered the most promising and precocious of any that the faculty ever had the privilege of instructing. Any number of the class will take their H Alfred Davy to that effect. The class colors are a delicate carmine and sea green and any young lady or gentleman you may meet wearing a bow of ribbon, which at a distance, looks like a monstrous butterfly with red and yellow wings, is pretty sure to be an honored member of the Freshman class. The Freshman, tho' humble, is aspiring, and tho' he be brave, he is not, perhaps, so sanguinary as the class motto-Q So far so much-death to Preps. and Sophs. j would indicate. And now, ladies and gentlemen, having made you acquainted with a few facts, concerning the Freshman Class of 1888, in the name of the class, I bid you good day. Well, I am glad he is through. What a queer lot they are, anyway. They are leaving the stage, let us go quick. The Euterpean Club is going to sing.

The object of this association shall be to promote an interest in athletic sports g to unite under one general management the various athletic organizations of the collegeg to obtain and supervise grounds for athletic sports: to arrange for inter-collegiate contests 3 and to make arrangements for holding a Field Day during the spring term of each year. -Ck211yf1'f11fz'a11. Regular meetings are held monthly, with special meetings at the call of the President. Officers and standing committees serve for one year. Officers are chosen by ballot at the last regular meeting of the spring term, and are installed at the first meeting in the fall. Most of the power of the Association is vested in the Executive Committee, which is composed of the President. the Corresponding Secretary, and the chairmen of the various standing committees, Although as yet young, the Association is ffwz and there can be no doubt but that it is destined to do much toward the advancement of athletic sports at Cornell. 162 Q ft ,yy X ko rrqfri C.

Some of the students who had had experience in the field, realizing the need of such an organization in the school, associated with themselves other engineering students and perfected a society, which though yet in its infancy, bids fair in the near future to be among the most prosperous in the College, as it is composed of the best material which the institution affords. The objects of this Association are aptly stated in the Constitution, to be as follows: To afford an opportunity for the discussion of Engineering topics: To establish a course of lectures upon Engineering and allied scientinc subjects: To raise the general standard of excellence in the Engineering Department of the College and to extend our acquaintance among Engineers and Engineering societies in general. WVith this end in view, we have put forth every effort and, thus far in our new life, have met with most flattering results. VVe have meetings regularly every Saturday at 2 p. m. Every alternate week we have a program at which time papers are read and discussions are given upon leading Engineering topics of the day, at other sessions we have business meetings for the transaction of such business as may be neccessary, and to give an opportunity for further discussion upon any engineering topics which were mentioned at the regular program. The Association has a charter membership of twenty-three. An active membership, at present, of twenty. Since the founding of this Association two of our most experienced workmen have been called from us to take charge of important engineering works. One accepting the position offered by the officials of the -Lake Shore Railroad, the other accepting a call to the far west-the Land of the Setting Sun. COM. s X 4 wwf- -1' ' , , 4 , Y ,-v.:,.

George Purdy became so amorous, docile and terrestial that his parents decided ito keep him out of school. As soon as school is out L. M.

A verdant young prep. is considerably alarmed as to whether Law was kicked by a rabbit or batted over the head with a neck-yoke.

The nccessit EETTIEE MATERIAL- y for a more enduring material for monuments than stone has long been felt,-Scientific American. XN'att's dictionary of chemistry, the unquestionable authority of the scientitic world, says: Zinc when exposed to the air or placed in water, its surface hecomes covered with a gray film will resist the chemical effects of the atmosphere for all time. Maj. Brockway president of Mt. Greenwood cemetery, Chicago, has had a three thousand dollar family monument of white hronve erected on his burial lot. From his position it is apparent he is competent to judge of the comparative value of bron7e and granite for memorial purposes. The white bronze is rapidly growing in favor with just such people who are familiar with the failure of stone to endure our severe climate. P. NV. Gates, the author of many useful inventions, and president of the Clinton Iron Works, Chicago, has had a three thousand VVhite Bronze Monument erected in Rose Hill Cemetery, Chicago. The adoption ofthis material hy such as Mr. Gates who has a knowledge of the metal and ofthe construction of these monuments is certainly very creditable to this growing industry.
