Its Academic and Collegiate Courses of Study, Classical and Scientific, are equal to those of our best Academies and Colleges. It has also full courses of four years in Art and Music. Its Music Department has been furnished with new pianos ; and the Art Department with all the necessary appliances. The old buildings, formerly used by the Young Ladies ' Institute, are being replaced by new ones, with the best modern improvements. The teachers, a part of them h ' om Denison University, are doing most efficient work. Fall term begins Thursday, September 6, 1888.

J. PRICE, W. L. THICKSTUN, J. SINSEL, J. H. WILLIAMS, C. H. BOSLER, STUDENTS OF DENISON UNIVERSITY. GRANVILLE, OHIO: KussMAUL Shepardson, Printers. JUNE, 1888. In learned Greece of long ago, When maid or man his fate would know. A god or goddess ' shrine he ' d seek And there with blanched lip and cheek, Before the priest, on tripod placed. In inmost room with horrors cased, He ' d ask the god a sign to give — How, to prosper, he should live. The god would show in riddles dark — But clear to one in whom the spark Of genius burned — where were the rocks He should avoid, and where the walks And pleasant fields which life would cheer And make still sweeter year to year. If they were sought. The temples now Are laid in dust ; yet ever, how To make their lives one round of joys. Consult their stars, both maids and boys. To aid these seekers after bliss. To keep their steps from going amiss, To point out where their dangers lie. To save them many a future sigh, To help them on the road to fame, To win for ourselves some of the same ; We, the Eds., with a bow and a scrape, Present our work in the present shape, Hoping that some from its pages may glean Hints which will help to cleanse of their green. Its name is classic Greek, you know. For classic men we made it so. Now, D. U. Students, ' ' goody, dig, and ' ' bum, Hear the oracles from the Adytum. PREFACE. After a silence of six years the i DYTUM again appears before the students of D. U. The vohime of 1882, the only one ever issued before, was edited and published by the fraternities then existing in the University, name- ly : Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi. It was then their intention to miake the Annual a permanent publication, but for reasons which seemed sufficient to those wha inaugurated the movement it was not repeated. Often,, however, the wish has been expressed that the publica- tion be started anew. Almost every year it has been talked of among the fraternities, but the diffi.culties irk the way of its publication seemed too great. Last Fall,, however, thinking that the increased prosperity of every- thing connected with the University Vv ould justify the revival of the Annual, a movement was started among- the different chapters here, looking to this end. A joint committee was appointed which drew up articles of association to regulate its publication ; but upon more mature consideration, two of the chapters thought it unwise to proceed, believing that it could not be made a financial success. Here the matter was dropped for the time being. But the present editors, realizing that. 8 THE AD YTUM. what an organization may fail in, may often be success- fully conducted by private enterprise, and knowing no reason why a College Annual should not be edited as well by a self-selected corps of editors as by the secret societies, determined to make the trial on their own re- sponsibility. The result of our labor lies before you. We do not desire to continue the publication as a pri- vate enterprise, but, by showing that it can be made a success financially, at least, to remove the only hindrance which has stood in the way of its regular issue. We hope that hereafter the fraternities will unite in its pub- lication and make it one of the regular features of the year. You may ask, is an Annual necessary to a college in good standing? We unhesitatingly answer yes. Dur- ing the year events transpire, organizations are formed, and other matters of interest to the students take place, which, unless put into a form adapted to preservation, will soon be forgotten. Then, again, there are many organizations of deepest interest to the students, but not of enough general interest to find a place in the college catalogue, which should be duly recorded as a part of the college life. These and other reasons make the Annual, if not an absolute necessity, at least, a valuable addition to the college literature. The present editors have had no experience in such work. Looking back over our work we see many places where improvements could be made. But let those who follow us profit by our mistakes and coming years will produce Adytums which for wit, wisdom, truth and fic- tion, will stand alone in their majesty. THE ADYTUM. 9 We are incleblecl to the students for the words of en- couragement they have given us and for the excellent characters they have furnished ; to the Facult)- for their advice and support ; but above all are we indebted to the business men of Granville and Newark, who have so liberally and willinorly aided us bv their advertisements. We ask the students to remember these firms and to patronize them at every opportunity. We have endeavored to keep our pages free from offensive personals and spiteful tiings. If you find yourself placed in an uncomfortable light, it is for -our own good. Ponder your errors and resolve to make no more. Turn from your crooked ways, walk in the straight and narrow path and be men. And now, gentle reader, the book is yours. If there is aught within its pages oftensive to your sensitive na- ture, pluck it out and bring it to us and we will exchange for it ripe eggs and Indian clubs. If we have told the truth on more than one or two occasions, Ave humbly bee your pardon, for we did not mean to. If we have been funny, it is your misfortune and we vrould have you bear it. Criticise us if you must, do it openly if you will; but for the sake of those who hold you dear, for the sake of your own future welfare, do not pity us. We are strong and courageous and will fight, if necessary, but we cannot withstand pity. Forbear, we pray you. THE YEAR. The year just closing- has been one of the most satis- factory in the history of our college. D. U. has al- ways been noted, among a small circle of acquaintances, as a place vhere the best of mental discipline and moral training could be obtained at a reasonable cost. But there has never been sufficient effort made to bring the institution as prominently before the public as the ad- vantages which it affords would warrant. Former boards of Trustees and Faculties have shown but little interest in increasing the num.ber of students, thinking, apparently that as the school was financially self-sup- porting, the num.ber of students was less im.portant than in a school which depends upon tuitions to defray its running expenses. But with the new administration which entered upon its duties a year and a half ago, has come a marked change in this respect. An effort has been made, not only to secure a larger attendance of students, but also to enlist the sympathies of prominent men in behalf of the institution. And the effort has been as successful as could be hoped for in the short time since operations were begun ; a larger numiber of students has been enrolled this year in all departments THE ADYTUM. II than has been before for years, and a still greater in- crease is confidently looked for next fall. Improvements have also been made in many lines of college work. The preparatory department has been separated from the college proper, and has its own Prin- cipal and Faculty. It is now designated as Granville Academy, and the course has been lengthened to four years instead of three. What was formerlv the Youno- Ladies ' Institute at the foot of the hill, has come into the hands of the Baotist Denomination of Ohio, throuo-h the generosity of its former owner, D. Shepardson, D.D., and has started on a nevr career under the name of Shepardson College for Women. An endovrment of $100,000 has already been raised, one beautiful new building erected, and several more will be built soon. Thus three institutions are united under one head, but with two Boards of Trustees. The Professors of the University have charge of somie of the classes in Shep- ardson College and the Academy, while others are taught by teachers engaged especially for those institu- tions. By the present system, a compromise is aimed at betvv-een the friends and opponents of co-education. It is thought that all the advantages, with none of the disadvantages will be attained by this union of the dif- ferent schools. And so far. we have not been disap- pointed. There has been less friction, better work, and a vast general improvement in all three institutions. The library, consisting of about 15,000 volumes, has been classified according to the Dewey system, and thereby rendered much more convenient and easy of reference. It has also been enlarged by the accession 12 THE ADYTUM. of the Hbraries of the CalHopean and FrankHn societies, consistinof- of about 2,000 volumes each. The Reading Room and Lecture Association has given us this winter one of the best courses of enter- tainments ever listened to in Granville. Beginning the year, as it did, with the bad odor of a debt and levy clinging to its garments, from the course last year, it has bravely surmounted all obstacles, and will close the year with money in hand and an excellent record. For the former blessing we have to thank Providence, for the latter, the Lecture Committee. In the oratorical line Denison has this time obtained her dues. The first place, which was ours by right last year, but which we were robbed of by a person who made use of his position as Secretary of the Inter-State Oratorical Association, to gratify a personal spite, was awarded to our representative on the Ohio State Con- test last February. We must not forget to mention some of the improve- ments which have been made about the college grounds. A ' ' Campus Improvement Association has been or- ganized among the students, through the efforts of Mrs. Dr. Anderson, for the purpose of beautifying the campus. Under its watchful care beds of flowers have been set out which add greatly to the attractiveness of the place. The walk up the steep hill has been facilitated by the building of a set of steps, which are duly appreciated by those who have to climb the hill a number of times a day in all sorts of weather. Trees have been set out on each side of the steps, which will in time, no doubt, add their share of beauty and comfort. The campus is THE ADYTUM. 13 well lighted at night by lamps, another long felt want. But in the midst of our success as an institution, there are some things, as there must be, which might be improved. Though we have, to say the very least, one of the most able Faculties in Ohio, there are some changes which if made, would not only please a large majority of the students, but would remove actual hin- drances to our college work. Of course, no names are mentioned, but it is hoped that, if the eye of the author- ities should chance to light on this, they will take a men- tal glance over our body of instructors, find out who could best be spared, and act accordingly. On the whole, however, the outlook for our college has never been so bright as it now is. Let the people of Ohio realize that no school in the State has a higher curriculum, a more competent set of teachers, or better mental and moral advantages generally, and the future success of Denison University is assured.

Biographical Sketches of the Faculty. REV. GALUSHA ANDERSON, D.D., President, and Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy. Dr. Anderson was born in Bergen, Genesee Co , N. Y., March 7, 1832. His father, though born in this country, was of pure Scot- tish descent, and was reared in the strict forms of the Scotch Presby- terians, and brought up his own children according to the same strict principles. Until the age of seventeen he was engaged upon his father ' s farm, with such intervals of study as the district school of the place allowed. At this age, having yielded to convictions of duty upon the subject of becoming a minister and having given up a pre- vious determination to be a lawyer, he entered Alfred Academy in Alleghany Co., to prepare for college. In 1851, he entered the Sophomore class of the University of Rochester. His course in the University was an unusually successful one. He took the prize in Sophomore debate, the first prize in Sophomore declamation, had the place of honor at the Junior exhibition, and on behalf of the stu- dents of the University deHvered the address to Dr. A. C. Kendrick, upon his return from Greece. Also he was the first Rochester alum- nus to receive the degree of D.D., from that University. Graduating in 1854, he entered the Theological Seminary at the same place and from it graduated in 1856. In the autumn of that year he was or- dained as pastor of the Baptist Church in Janesville, Wis. In the fall of 1858, he accepted the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church of St. Louis. Here he remained until 1866, holding his post during all the agitations of the war, and keeping his church strongly loyal.

' At the dose of a career to be excelled by none and equalled by- few, in interest and greatness of exploits, ' 88 draws about her the mantle of her own goodness, before stepping out into the cold and pitiless world. Some unkind person may predict, that we shall be frozen to death very soon, if we venture out in so scanty garments, but all such calumniators we shall treat with cold disdain. As we have said, our deeds have been many and exciting, and our influence on the tide of events has been great ; it was we who paid $4.50 for mortar-boards when we were Senior Preps and never wore them; who broke up the custom of having Freshman banquets, through lack of unanimity and cash ; who almost got plug hats when THE ADYTUM. 27 we were Juniors and only failed because some members would not agree to wear silver bands around them. We have all had minds of our own, and have never been afraid to use them, except in study. Accordingly, when it was reported that we, who had never united on anything before, had combined unani- mously (with the exception of one or two of the Faculty ' s right bow- ers) in opposition to the eight-man honor system, it caused a ripple of excitement, which was followed by a larger one when, at last, it transpired t ' nat we had won our point. We did not oppose ihe sys- tem through fear, for there is not a man in the class who could not have been valedictorian, if he had chosen ; we opposed it on principle. The versatility of our members is very great; we have men emi- nent in every walk of college life. Davis is the greatest expounder of constitutions that ever lived. Wood upholds the reputation of the class among the girls — in fact, they are his hobby. He is never with- out one— a girl, that is — except on special occasions, such as Senior Receptions. Williams is a notable example of patient endurance amid suffering ; his health has always been poor, but he has heroically fought dread disease, and nov comes to the end of his course with not more than a hundred and forty-six absences from recitations in any one term. Smith is our poet, and we think he is a good deal like Shakespeare. In some things, however, he goes far ahead of that gentleman ; for instance, Shakespeare seldom used any word which was not used by at least one other person. But Smith looks over Webster ' s Unabridged, and if he doesn ' t find the word he wants, sim- ply makes up one, which is a great improvement over Mr. Shakes- peare ' s slavish and laborious way. Castle is our funny man. He isn ' t remarkable for the variety of his jokes, but when he does get hold of a joke, he kncnvs how to get the most out of it. We are proud of our married men, of whom we have three. Curtin is the other one. He isn ' t married yet, but it is only a matter of time. Deming, by a stroke of mysterious Providence, is prevented from graduating with us, but we still claim him as our own. Though Faculty, family, fem- ininity forsake him, yet we will not. His specialties are science — nat- ural and domestic. It is really quite remarkable in how many directions our talents extend. As we stand on the threshold of our soon to be Alma Mater, we look with some regrets upon the past and some forebodings upon the 28 THE ADYTUM. future. We are sorry that in the past we have been prevented, by lack of sympathetic feeling on the part of the Professors, from taking a more active part in the management of the college. If they had made our class-room work a trifle easier, we should have been able to find more time for things of that sort. As for the future, we hope that you will be able to maintain order and discipline without the restraining influence of our presence. But if any danger is apprehended, possi- bly one or two of our number might be induced to stay. ' ' Farewell, a word that has been and must be, A sound that makes us linger, yet farewell.

And the length of the history depends upon the importance of the subject. Our history will be short. At one time ' 89 was the banner class of Denison, but now, alas ! her glory has departed. The mantle has fallen from hers upon others ' shoulders. Verily, the hair now grows in the palm of that hand that once held undisputed sway, One by one the sturdy companions of our prepdom days have fallen away until to-day we number but thirteen. But our hearts are stirred with a pardonable pride when we think of the magnificence, splendor, and nobility of those thirteen characters. No nobler, wide awaker, straighter tobacco-spitting, more whole-souled, enterprising and double-jointed men than these will ever leave their stogie boot prints upon the golden sands of time. Who can vie with James Archy Smith in mathematics or grace of motion ? Who is half so witty and able as James Stanley Brown? Who knows less than Charles Louis Seasholes ? Who can imitate the gait or natural wit of the only, the invincible, the immortal Mowry Cada Smith ? Who can equal the Grant-like silence and majesty of Leonard Leander Sutton ? Echo answers, nary a one! These are ours and shall be ours forever. There are some things in which ' 89 believes in taking the lead. That is, in the selection of novelties for class emblems. And so when it became necessary for us to select our Junior plugs, we didn ' t get these common white ones, nor alpaca ones, nor common silk ones, we oblained at great expense of money and labor, a silk plug of the coachman style. They soon became the talk of the college and the sem. girls, and ' 89 grew famous. And when two of her members showed such spirit in fighting those scamps who stole their plugs upon the first appearance, her fame knew no bounds. We are making great preparations for field day. It is our inten- tion to arrange a field day which will eclipse all others and if we fail to do so, we are willing to be pubHcly censured. For the first time in our history we publish the Class Soncr and Yell. . THE AD YTUM. 31 CLASS SONG. For mathematics we are renowned, Vive la ' 89 ; In cussedness we cannot be downed, Vive la ' 89; We know we are not the smartest class, But nine out of ten of us always pass, For we never buck like an old Jackass, Vive la ' 89.

My modest temperament causes me naturally to shrink from the task of trying to tell what such a famous body of men have done— the great schemes, the secret sessions, the violent debates, and all the ex- citing circumstances connected with our history. But that which is secret, let it be secret still ; it is not my purpose to divulge anything that would throw discredit upon my class-mates, though I could if I would. But I shall try to present an oudine of the progress of that class which next year will be Juniors, and then — oh, joy ! — Seniors, with plug hats, nothing to do, and lots of time to bum. To be frank we never amounted to much when we were Preps. Of course we had some good men, as almost every class must have, unless it be the Freshmen, poor things ! But when we entered the College Department, we received ssveral additions which made us what we now consider ourselves, the banner class of the institution. We have always been rural in our tastes ; that accounts for our get- ting canes with cabbage heads on them. The cabbage heads were brass at first, but some of us were opposed to wearing too much brass about our persons, so we soon got them nickled, which relieves the monotony greatly. It is said that variety is the spice of life. If that is so, we are all-spice. Our men are no doll babies, all turned out of the same mould. There is Bosler, who makes more noise than anyone else 34 THE A D YTUM. outside of Prepdom, and Wilkinson, who is often seen, but, like all good children, seldom heard. Then the two Jones boys, Gorman and Claude ; they will do anything to stand in with the Faculty, while Von Shulz wouldn ' t wittingly do anythmg to please the Profs if his life depended on it. Cathcart knows every book in the library by heart, and Ed Smith never looked into a book in his life. So you see we have both extremes in all branches. But we believe, with some great author we have read somewhere, heterogeneity and conservatism are the two eyes of success. Our conservatism manifests itself mostly in the class-room, where it almost amounts to reticence. In this way we often pass for wiser men than we really are. We must not close this sketch without saying a word in behalf of Lisk. We protest against the way the De Nunciis editor has coupled his name repeatedly with that of the College choir. Lisk is really a good fellow, although his association with that organization has naturally tended to lower public opinion concerning him. We are now almost at the end of our career as wise Fools. Next year we shall be bookworms, caring for nothing but literature and tobacco pipes. It tears our heart strings to think of such a change. The Freshmen will take our place, and be just what we are now. This, too, tears our heart strings, but it also makes us decidedly weary. We never did like them very well. But we shall try to bear our trouble. Excuse us while we weep. CLASS SONG. We ' re Sophomores gay, quite plain it is, You can tell us by the cut of our phiz ; Tho ' I ' m not quite sure its any of your biz, Whether we are or not, sir. We ' re very affectionate in our taste. Our arms quite naturally run to waist, But we often take them away in haste, By the express wish of the girl, sir. We go to classes three times a week, While there we are surprisingly meek. Compared with the way we usually speak. But that ' s just a way that we have, sir. THE ADYTUM. CLASS OF ' 91. Colors : White and Black. Motto — Large trees from little acorns grow. OFFICERS.

The readers of the Adytum cannot expect much in the way of history from the baby class of the college. Although our attempts have been many, our achievements have been few. The most of us, coming as we did from that vulgar crowd of howling preps, have scarcely had time to put aside our childish ways, assume a look of superior intelligence, and gain our equilibrium. Oh how glad we were when for the first time we realized that we were Freshmen ! How sweet the name ! The upper classmen call us that because we are fresh. Certainly we are. What is a man worth unless he is fresh. Cressey is fresh and he is a hustler too. He will take the cake in the Soph. French class, and he only studies eight or nine hours a day. You bet we are big men in this place. We have been through Prepdom and have now given up sucking the bottle and gone to suck- ing our canes and the Profs. We have burned Virgil, put on long pants, thrown aside our bibs and are now ready to start on the royal road to success in college. We have some awful good men in our class. There ' s Apple Thresher from Dayton. He is a dude, he is. He was lame almost all the year and couldn ' t study much or he would have led in all his classes. Apple ran against a cob-web and hurt his leg and it gave him inflammation of the brain. THE AD YTUM. 37 But I tell you Clint Cowen is a big man. He ' s smart, and he ' s a schemer too. He helps us in all our schemes, and that is why we always get there. I wish Dan Webster and he would quit running around together all the time. Dan will ruin Clint if he aint careful. We were mighty sorry to lose Larwill, our beloved President, before the end of the year. We didn ' t see how we could get along without him, but he arranged it all right. He sent us his orders by telegraph and everything passed along smoothly. Those stuck up Sophs say we have no class spirit. We have though, and its all the fault of those two bay legs, Lockhart and Minor, that it isn ' t known. They keep our spirits locked up in their rooms for private use. We have not accomplished much yet but our hopes are great. Next year we confidently expect Lockhart, our orator, to take the orator- ical contest, Adams the citizen ' s medal on field day, and VanWinkle the prize in whist. But of one thing we are sure, we will not be as empty headed, stuck up, and exclusive as the present Sophomore class. We mean to be humble and popular. In our class are found men of every temperament and ability. We have ladies ' men, suckers, dudes, orators, idiots and the finest poet in college. The latter is the author of our class song and yell. We give these as a part of the history of ' 91. CLASS SONG. Tune : ' ' Take me back to home and mother. We ' re green as the grass in the spring. We ' re fresh as the rippling rill ; Our feet are as big as the biggest thing. That ever was placed on the hill. We haven ' t got much sense as yet. Our cheek beats a government mule ; But on one thing you safely can bet, We know not oiir peer in this school. CLASS YELL.

They have an idea that because we ' ve only been here a little while, we never did anything worth talking about. But I can just tell yon we have got a more exciting history than any other two classes in school. We ' ve got three or four Chicago men and that is one reason why it has been so exciting. They make it lively, I tell you. Reichelt can spit into a man ' s key-hole oftener than any other boy in college. And the others are not far behind. We got up a mission society last fall; but Jaynes went home, two members were expelled from school for getting drunk, the Hunt boys joi led the Betas, and we were pretty nearly squelched. But we are thinking about getting up a bucket brigade and going in on Field Day. We are proud of our Senior Class. They wear plug hats. You can ' t tell them from real Seniors when you see them off a little ways just before dark. Trick is studying for the Presidency, and Jackson is going as Missionary to the Cannibals, Brumback is going on the stage, and I think Crisswell will be a base-ball umpire, but I ' m not sure. THE AD YTUM. 41 The Middle Preps are real nice, too. I am a Middle Prep. But I won ' t say much about them for fear you would say I am egotistical. However, it is not too much to say that we take all the honors in the Y M. C. A. and the College Choir. The Junior Preps must be mentioned, but that is all. I don ' t know much about them, except that they make brilliant records in Bible Study. We are always glad to have visitors over in the Academy. But you had better bring umbrellas along when you come, and have them raised, too : For with water we ' re shockingly free, tra la, ' TwixL you and the gate post and me, tra la; But we use it for naught That all good people ought, But we water our neighbors, you see, tra la. 42 THE AD YTUM. 1855. . 1868.

This fraternity was founded at Miami University, June 28, 1855, by T. C. Bell, J. P. Caldwell, D. W. Cooper, W. L. Lockwood, B. P. Runkle, F. H. Scobey and I. M. Jordan. All of them, save Jordan, had been members of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, but had with- drawn on account of internal dissension in the chapter. The society was first christened Sigma Phi, bnt almost immediately received the name of Sigma Chi. The Miami chapter was called Alpha, and Gamma Chapter was instituted at Ohio Wesleyan soon after . Gamma Chapter was given the name of Alpha by the convention of 1870. The Chapter roll now numbers 37 active chapters. The Sigma Chi, a bi-monthly magazme, is published by the fraternity. Mu Chapter was organized by six students of D. U., who in Oct. 1867 petitioned Sigma Chi fraternity for a charter in order to form a chapter at Denison, and the result of the petition was the institution of Mu Chapter. The following were the charter members : J. G. Dye, C. L. Allen, G. C. Coon, R. G. Howell, J. B. Ellis and R. L. Bell. They were initiated in the old water cure building on the night of March 2, 1868. The chapter moved along prosperously until the anti-frat. laws were passed in 1876. Twenty-two men had been initiated up to this time. The chapter was revived in the winter term of 1880, and ran sub rosawntxX the repealing of anti-fraternity laws in 1881. The Chapter has an elegant hall in the new Pond and Robinson building. Mu Chapter has always stood high both in Denison and the Sigma Chi Fraternity, her Alumni have held the highest positions attainable in the fraternity. The last National Convention of Sigma Chi was held in Colum- bus, O., Sept. 5 and 6, 1887. The next will be held in August, i888- THE AD YTUM. 45 CHAPTER ROLL. Beta — Wooster University.

The Beta Theta Pi fraternity was founded at Miami University Oxford, Ohio, July 4, 1839. At this time Alpha Delta Phi was the only Greek letter society so far west as Ohio. Opposition to this organization was probably the chief cause of the formation of the new fraternity. The second chapter was located at Western Reserve Col- lege. The war of the Rebellion crippled this prosperous organization leaving only six chapters. Since 1865, however, the fraternity has extended itself in all directions. Among the most notable things in the fraternity is the loyalty of its Alumni, who have established chapters at Boston, Providence, New York, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Wheeling, Richmond, Louisville, Chicago, Indianapolis, Kansas City and San Francisco. The Frater- nity possesses a fine club house at Chautauqua where annual conven- tions are held. The fraternity has published four song beoks. Several pieces of music bear the fraternity name. The Journal of the fraternity called the Beta Theta Pi, is a bi-monthly magazine. It ranks among the first of such publications. The Denison Chapter, the Alpha Eta of Beta Theta Pi, was founded December 28, 1868, by Henry A. Wise, ' 70, Charles J. Sea- man, ' 71, Henry A. Delano, ' 69, Frederick Clatworthy, ' 69, and John J. Powell, ' 70. The last general convention was held at Chautauqua, August 20- 23, 1887. The next convention will be held at Chautauqua, July 24- 31, 1888.

The Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity was founded at Jefferson Col- lege, Canonsburg, Pa., May, 1848. Beta Theta Pi was its only rival at the time, in that school. The South was the first direction in which the fraternity sought to extend itself, and by a spirit of enterprise, coupled with a wise conservatism, it soon built up a fine chapter roll, and placed itself in the front rank of college fraternities. During the war, however, it suffered considerably, losing many of its finest chap- ters. But this loss was soon remedied by the revivification of some of the old and establishment of new chapters in the most prosperous colleges of the country, especially in the central and western parts. The fraternity Journal is a quarterly, and compares favorably with the best publications of that sort. It is under the management of the Grand Chapter, located at New York City. Several pieces of music bear the name of the Fraternity, and a fine collection of its songs has been recently made. A catalogue is in preparation which is expected to be one of the finest ever issued by any college fraternity. Lambda Deuteron Chapter was founded March i8th, 1885, by S. E. Davies, ' 86 ; A. F. Foerste, A. V. Gear, and E. A. Mead, ' 87 ; C. T. Atwell, P. W. Longfellow, E. J. Price, and J. Sinsel, ' 88.

The flowers that bloom in the Spring, tra, la, Have nothing to do with this case ; But the lov2 that crops forth in the Spring, tra, la, Right closely ' round these two doth cling, tra, la, And brightly beams forth from his face. And we know what we say when we vow that a pass, Will be denied to these two of the Botany Class. For pistils and stamens and styles, tra, la, Quite seldom will enter their mind ; THE ADYTUM. 83 As they trip to the fields for awhile, tra la, A few pleasant hours to beguile, tra, la, Some flowers with dresses to find. For the sweet, pretty face of a nice, dainty lass, Is better than flowers for the Botany Class. So they steal away from the flowers, tra, la, And give up all thoughts of their books; And seek for the cool, shady bowers, tra, la, Confessing the thoughts that for hours, tra, la, Have drawn them to this shady nook. And the spooney young man of the Botany Class, RecHnes at the feet of his own dainty lass. Oh, the Spring of the year is bad, tra, la, For pressing and gathering flowers; Though pressing will sometimes be had, tra, la. If the flower does not get mad, tra, la, Which is seldom in nice, cool bowers. Yes, the soft, green grass and a soft, dainty lass, Will foster neglect of the Botany Class. 84 THE AD YTUM. Lecture in Mathematics, BEFORE THE SOPHOMORE GEN. GEOM. CLASS. (Mathematicians file in and stand around the stove for ten min- utes. Chief mathematician asleep in his chair, legs tied in a pretzel knot. Little mathematician knocks chief mathematician ' s plug hat in the wood box. All the mathematicians laugh and make faces at the chief. He awakes, unties his legs, spreads his arms and yawns.) ' Good morning, gentlemen, seat yourselves — that is to say, — huh. The lecture this morning will be a recitation on conic sections. Von Shulz, you don ' t know the first principles of etiquette. Don ' t spread your legs so — I should say limbs, not branches. Ha ! Ha!! (Mathematicians all giggle and nudge each other.) Etiquette, you know, is the boss thing on this globe, as the boys say. Never use slang. It ' s N. G. When you are out in company, don ' t eat more than seven or eight pieces of cake. Don ' t crack nuts on the floor with your heel. What is this I hold in my hand. Smith? A peptopolyhydro- gen. Good. How many sides has it? Two; an inside and an outside. (Mathematicians giggle.) Mr. Smith, I am glad to see that you are improving. A man ' s feet are a hard thing to dispose of in company. Mine are. Don ' t talk aloud in company. Wood, take your hands out of your pockets. How would you like to see a young lady at the black- board with her hands jabbed down in her pockets? (Wood blushes and mathematicians groan. ) Wilk, what ' s a conic section? First cousin to a nightmare. (Mathematicians applaud.) What is this iigure I have drawn on the board here? Class in unison— A hiero- glyphic. You ' re all wrong. It ' s an archeoptrix— that is, a three- sided right-angle, with four excuse angles. Remember this. I am not well to-day, as my cow was sick last night. Take the rest of the book for to-morrow and read ' Cavendish on Whist, ' and if every man doesn ' t make a ten, I ' ll give you all zero. (Class makes its exit to the music of the Snore March. ) THE AD YTUM. A POPULAR LEGEND. Upon his lap the lady hung, Softly crooning an old love song; And these were the simple words she sung, All the evening long : Cheek or chin, knuckle or knee, Where shall C s ' dimple be ? Where shall my finger fall and rest, As I drop my head on C s ' breast ? Where shall my beaming eyes behold The dimple of which I ' ve oft been told? Still in his lap the lady sat, Long in the sweet delay of choice; And then she gave his chin a pat. And said, with pleasant voice : Not on the knuckle, C y, dear, For the charm with its youth will disappear; Not on the cheek shall the dimple be, For the harboring smile will fade and flee; But wrinkle thy chin with an impress deep. And my C— — y forever my love shall keep. 8(5 THE ADYTUM. An extension to my frame. — Payne. Some nice men to associate with. — Brown. A new corset. — Ed Wood. Stamina. — Cad a.

THE AD YTUM. 89 Echoes from Political Economy Class. Before we take up the lesson which was given out last week, I have a few remarks I should like to make right in the line of my ar- gument of yesterday. In the first place- four legs to your chair, there, Smith— as I was about to say, Senator Edmunds don ' t know what he ' s talking about. And as for that speech of Frye ' s, on the tariff, it ' s all buncombe. I don ' t believe a word of it and never wilL It ' s pure foolish ness for any body to make such statements as those. As my old illustration of the apple on the post says, other laws may counteract this law, but this law acts just the same. What ' s that yo L say, Hervey? Why, you ' re a fool if you say that. It ' s pure twaddle. You mustn ' t post hoc, ergo propter hoc, for that is a non sequititr ■ Take that toothpick out of your mouth, there. The point I just now mentioned may not be so clear but that I might make it clearer by a restatement. As to Clark ' s statement, I admit that, but, I see my time ' s nearly up, so we must turn to the lesson. When we come to them I ' ll show you better protection arguments than you know any- thing about, but I ' ll tell you beforehand they ' re false, utterly, flatly, inexcusably false. I not only admit it, but I assert that such is the case. If any statements which I have made don ' t seem clear, or if you want to argue the point with me, come over to my house, as I haven ' t time to tend to you now. I see the bell is about to ring, so I shall close the recitation at this point, giving out the same lesson for to-morrow that we had for to-day, and we shall spend a portion of the hour in recitation. THE AD YTUM. DOWNFALL OF THE HONOR SYSTEM. Time, May 25, 1888. PLACE, PREX ' S RECITATION ROOM. Scene, Faculty Meeting. Prex. — Gentlemen, I have a paper in my hand requesting that the eight-man honor system be abolished, and bearing the signatures of the Junior class. I will read it. [Reads paper.] What will you do with it? GiLPATRicK, [snappishly.] — Mr. President, I move it be laid on the table indefinitely. Colwell. [with much eclat, ' — I second the motion, and right here would say, that in my opinion it is the work of some fool that doesn ' t know anything about what is right and proper, and ought to be sat down upon. Thresher, [with a voice like a rippling rill.] — I want to tell some of my experience. I was one of the honor men of my class, and to that fact I owe, I believe, much of my success as an instructor. This is not generally known, and I should not mention it now but for the direct bearing it has on the question at issue. The honor system is a great aid to any school. Herrick. — Mr. President, no doubt it may be a good thing in some respects, but — Prex. — When I was at Chicago University, I — Tight.— I ' ll be blamed if I like the looks of the business. Hang it 1 when I graduated here, we didn ' t have any honors at all. I would- n ' t have had the valedictory if there had been, and I expect there are lots of the fellows in the Junior class that are in my fix, and — McKiBBEN. [soothingly.] — I can heartily endorse Mr. Tight ' s re- marks, and it is extremely evident to my mental vision that the system of honors is entirely and completely unnecessary and superfluous. Tight [to McKibben.] — Go it, old ham, you ' re a good one. THE AD YTUAf. 91 Johnson. — In my case, gentlemen, — Chandler. — Mr. President, let me say — CoLWELL. — This is all fool — Tight. — Hold on here, you condemn — [ Tight and Cohuell engage in a hand to hand fight, in which Colwell finally begs, Johnson and Akins put Gilpatrick out of the door, Herrick grabs Cole ' s nose, Thresher gets under Frexfs desk, McKibben seizes a stick of wood and holds it over Prexfs head, and J?iggs and Chandler make a break for the back room to hold- a Prayer and confe?rnce tneeting. ] Prex.— Gentlemen, if there are no more remarks I will put the motion. All in favor say, Aye. [iMcKibben waves stick violently.] Carried without a dissenting vote. 1lie eight-man honor system will not apply to the Junior class. Next. When the Adytum artist was on the look-out for subjects for his pencil, he chanced to glance in a first floor window, West Hall, New Brick, and saw a Senior in the act of enjoying his vacation. He sketched him on the spot. We give you the result in the above cut. 92 THE AD YTUM. ' The above is a portrait of the surveying class engaged in active operations. It was taken one day when the whole class happened to be present— an occurrence, by the way, very rarq, as the Professor and students are all very delicate, and there are seldom more than two of the five there at one time. The class will be recognized at a glance, and the Professor, especially, needs no label. But, owing to the dis- tance, it might be hard to tell who the couple under the umbrella is, who are the object of the class ' surveying. It might be Jim Deming, or Jack Sinsel, or Spohn, or Dan Shep, or Deke Wood, or even Byrne, and if it had been taken early enough in the term, it might possibly have been Sutton. The Adytum knows which of these it is, but we do not feel at liberty to state what they are saying, or doing, for we are sure we don ' t know. We shall let the whole thing remain a blissful mystery to all, except the two parties most concerned, and Billy Carr, who is looking through the instrument. THE ADYTUM. 93 WE ARE ALL HERE. Who is that man who every morn, Behind the charpel pulpit stands; And talks and talks of things well worn, And wildly throws about his hands? That ' s Prex. Who is that lady sweet and fair, So seldom seen by college boys ; Who minds her plants and flowers rare, And thinks alone of household joys ? That ' s Mrs. Prex. Who is that lady trim and neat, Whose graceful step attracts all eyes ; Who with a smile each student greets, And makes him feel just twice his size? ■ That ' s one Miss Prex. Who is that in the hammock there. Whom all the boys so much admire ; Whose heart a Prep would like to share, But whom the Junior Preps all tire ? That ' s young Miss Prex. Who just let forth that piercing yell, Who threw that stone into my room ; Who is it, makes us think that Has just received a sudden boom ? That ' s Prex Jr., who can make more noise in five minutes than the occupants of West Hall in two weeks. 94 THE AD YTUM. LIBRARY REPORT. The following are some of the best known books placed in the library during the past year : WHERE ' S PAUL? By Galusha Anderson. Lectures on the Life and Epistles of St. Paul. Designed as an aid to students who engage in compulsory Bible study. Noted for its statistics and general information. Well illustrated with cuts showing the Dr ' s position during certain gestures. Testimonials : I laid it aside with a great deal of pleasure. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. It is cheap at fifteen cents. Wm. E. Gladstone. DONT USE SLANG, or THE SCIENCE OF BIG FEET. An immortal work from an immortal hand. Valuable for its information on etiquette. Contains 479,683 pages, 3,721 chapters, each chapter prefaced by a funny story. Academy students cannot draw this book unless accompanied by their girls or the President. Bald headed seniors in short pants must wear bibs. Testimonials : In order to read it, I bucked my classes for three days. Prof. McKibben. My graceful carriage and winning ways are the results of its careful study. W. H. Johnson. YOU ' RE A NICE MAN, or WHOOP-E, THE ELECTRIC IDIOT. By the author of The Fool Confessed.

Testimonials : Its author is certainly a wit. E. H. Castle. It has almost made a man of me. R. P. Smith. THE ADYTUM. HOW TO EDIT A COLLEGE PAPER. By G. Jones. Gives much useful information upon the above subject in four large octavo volumes. Deals especially with the faults and follies of editors, who belong to a different organization. Closes with a magnif- icent ode to the faculty of 10,760 lines, naming all the good points of each member separately and then saying : ' 0h, give me grades, my teacher kind, Thou guide of youthful soul and mind ; And high grades, too, I do implore. For without grades my heart grows sore. POINTERS FOR FIELD DAY. We are displeased to see that the Field Day Committee have omitted some important exercises.
