OWENS. •I PREFACE. HE Class of '96 having arrived at years of discretion, and being possessed of an ardent desire to immortalize its name, and distinguish the College by some nota- ble undertaking, decreed that a year-book should go forth; hence, there came into existence a board of editors, and thereby hangs a tale. The initiatory proceedings were highly interesting -to the editors. And then came the naming of the baby. All the aunts and cousins were pleased to participate. The innermost recesses of minds and dictionaries were ransacked. Heart-rending meetings of the board ensued, and the book was named and unnamed within a week. The aforesaid relations groaned, shook their heads, and offered no further suggestion. So out of the depths of dismay and contention arose our Donnybrook Fair. It is unreasonable to expect of the young hopeful anything more than a general resemblance to its famous namesake, or to visit upon its innocent head the few unhappy traditions which cluster • about the old Donnybrook Fair. May the saints defend us from any destructive tendencies, and may our book bear with it only the pleasant significance of its name. We propose to furnish for the delectation of our friends a vast variety of entertainment: histor- ical data for the studious, jokes for the light-minded, pictures for the tender in years (not the Freshmen), grinds on our enemies for spite and on our friends because they will not mind.” We hope to leave all the world as happy, and our readers just a trifle jollier than we found them. The peace shall be preserved though we go as year-book editors have gone to splinters.” Ours are all love licks, and should any gentleman or lady be displeased with the inveterate truth of their likenesses, they may ease their spleen by laughing at those of their neighbors, this being what so high an authority as Mr. Washington Irving terms “ poetical justice.” We wish here to declare our unswerving loyalty to the W. C. B., resolving that, so far as in us lies, in college and out of college, by word and deed, that we will strive for her glorification. If in aught we have failed, lay it not to her charge. We trust to the good will of our readers for a kind judgment of this our first Year-Book, and hope that altogether and always Donnybrook Fair may be concordia discors.

HE aim of this article is to inquire into the nature of the quality, or groups of quali- ties, which we term womanliness, with the purpose of aiding in a determination of the conditions which are favorable, and those which are unfavorable, to its development. It is first necessary to state the problem presented by the subject, and this may perhaps be as well done by comparing womanliness with manli- ness, and noticing resemblances and differences, if there be any, between the two. As we exhort a boy to be manly, so we encourage a girl to be womanly. Do we mean in the latter case that a different set of qualities should be culti- vated from those which are contemplated in the former, or are we only thinking of similar qualities seen by us through a different atmosphere, or, it may be, exhibited in relation to a different class of objects, and expressed with that difference that distinguishes all feminine activity from masculine activity of the same kind ? In other words, is there sex in character, or is character neutral and gender predicable only of the direction and shape which its expression takes? It would seem as if to state the question in this shape was to answer it, but it will do no harm to turn it over a little while longer in our thoughts. It is perfectly plain that a woman is not womanly by virtue of her sex, nor a man manly for the same reason, else how could we speak of a womanly woman, or a manly man; we might just as well say a feminine woman or a male man. Womanliness and manliness are qualities that one may be either a woman or a man and yet be destitute of. We may, perhaps, explain the terms by refer- ring them to the ideal; manliness is the sum of all those qualities that we could wish a man to possess, and womanliness the sum of all those qualities that we desire to see in a woman, and these qualities in both cases carried to their highest developement and dissociated from all that might be incompatible with them. But this explanation does not help us to an answer to the question, are these qualities identical or are they diverse ? Etymology deserts us here, as so often; for by its tests to be womanly is to be womanlike; but in our usage of the terms the being womanlike does not secure the being womanly. Our language contains other terms that have a similar ring to those we are considering: womanish,mannish, effem- inate, masculine and others. We get no direct help from them. The first and third are applied by way of disapproval to the conduct or appearance of some men, and the second and fourth similarly to women. Indirectly we may get a little light, for what in a woman might be called mannish or masculine would not go to make the manliness of a man, and what in a man’s conduct, at least, would be termed effeminate would not be deemed womanly in a woman. So that there are womanish traits and mannish ones, that while they may not detract from womanliness and manliness, do not add to them. The history of a word sometimes helps us out in determining its contents, and it is not at all unlikely that substantial aid may be had from this source toward the solution of the problem we have set ourselves; but unfortunately the writer has no adequate apparatus criticus at hand, and the time he has allowed himself for writing this article will not permit him to set about constructing one. Turning to Mrs. Cowden-Clarke’s Concordance of Shakespeare we find that she uses womanly only three times as against manly nineteen times. Moreover womanly is in every instance used in a sense where to-day we should prefer womanish. Lady Macduff calls her plea of having done no harm, a womanly defense. Cleopatra is said to be not more womanly than Antony. Turning to Young’s Concordance of the Bible, we find that in its pages neither term is used. However, “quit you like men” may perhaps be taken as the equivalent of be manly; but we look in vain for “quit you like women ” or anything similar to it. Moreover, Bible heroines do acquit themselves very much like men. Has the distinct recognition of the class of qualities that is meant by womanliness, grown up during the period throughout which woman has been achieving a slow enfranchisement from a condition of subordination to man's whims and passions to a position of intelligent and self-directed activity at his side ? And has the word womanly been emptied of its signification of weakness in order that it might be freighted with the new and nobler sense ? If so, the fact looks in the direction of womanli- ness and manliness being not so very diverse. What qualities enter into manliness? Dignity, a keen sense of humor, readiness to sustain responsi- bility, boldness in enterprise, intrepidity in danger, courage in standing by unpopular convictions, fortitude in suffering, self-control, openness, frankness, integrity in thought and in conduct. Can a woman dispense with any one of these and her womanliness not suffer? What qualities enter into womanliness? Gentleness, patience, ministry, tenderness, piety and other such qualities?—(it is lo amusing to notice how our lexicons which furnish quite a list of qualities that enter into manliness are at a loss when the time comes to enumerate others which are distinctively womanly). What sort of manliness would that be which should be destitute cf these? Put all the first named qualities together with these in a single person, and if that person be a man he will be manly, if a woman she will be womanly. Either may be or may not be cultured and accomplished; cultivation enriches, accomplishment embellishes both womanliness and manliness, they cannot make nor become a substi- tute for either. Now in man these qualities are exhibited in the activities which his family, social, business and g)litical duties call out. In woman they are exhibited in the activities which her duties demand. ut the “spheres of man and woman are by no means so distinct, in fact, as some theorists would like to have us believe. If men vote they also tsome of them) sew and cook and they need not part with an iota of manliness in doing either. If women bear children and nurse them, they also (some of them) support their children, and not seldom their children's father, by their enterprise and labor, and they gain, not lose, in womanliness by doing it. What we mean by woman’s sphere is nothing more than the scope of activity which is conventionally conceded to her. But this conventional concession is not a fixed thing, it is a changing one. No one needs to be reminded that it embraces to-day many departments which it once excluded, why should any one need to be admonished that it will include at the end of the twentieth century many things which the end of the nineteenth century excludes? These owls that blink their eyes in the growing light and wait to see the shadows move backward! The womanliness of the twentieth century will be just like the womanliness of the centuries that preceded it; it will consist in exhibiting the qualities above named in the doing of what ever her hand finds to do. What that shall be will not be determined by fable or philosophy, by decree or dogma, by priest or politician, but by herself listening to the calls that come out of her changing environment and responding to them. When the scroll of history shall have unrolled to its now infolded end, woman's sphere may be interpreted, and at the same time man's will be better understood. JOHN B. VAN METER.

Bold as those always are who have unlimited confidence in their own powers, yet overwhelmed and filled with awe by a realizing sense of our own dignity, we swept all before us. The reverend Seniors meekly bowed at our approach, as when a strong wind passes over a wheat held, while Juniors and ff- Sophomores were as chaff before us. What a motley collection we were; odds and ends from everywhere. Truly our class-room was like a pawn shop rather than an artistic exhibition of rare specimens. ’92 might laugh, '93 look scornful, but were we not, after all, the first in the field of class organization? Pioneers were we and as such deserve all honor and respect. Here then is No. J, a study from the old masters, entitled “A Pioneer.” It was imported some years since at a large expenditure of time, labor and money. Owned at one time by the college boarding halls, but now in the possession of a lady on Charles street. When the class of ’95 goes forth to war, this picture is usually carried at the front as a banner, and ’95 is then sure of victory. Some xcc 95 ■ - of the chief artistic points of the picture are, the soft, bewitching expression of the lovely violet eyes, and the pathetic droop of the battered cap on one side of the gracefully poised head. The v hole bearing so full of gentle resignation to an unkind fate, betokens that of a victim of circumstances for whom there is no escape save in death alone. Methinks I hear even now the voice of the auctioneer, crying, “Here, gentlemen, last chance;—going, going,—gone; a former president of '95. Another article in the possession of '95 from the beginning is No. 2, a fine specimen of Wild Goose from the tide water region of Virginia, stuffed and prepared for its present position by the various professors of the W. C. B., of whose taxidermistic skill it is a good example. It has a slender form, a small cranium, well filled with odds and ends of learning. The bird’s head is really its great- est beauty, being of a peculiar reddish hue, the life-like appearance of which has been preserved by constant and skillful use of Essay Tonic. Climates may meet in Baltimore, but not in the class of '95, for our Field is never green, and we let snow remain until the end of our history. Snow covers the tennis w_ courts pretty thoroughly and is also to be found in the laboratories. In fact, she seems very essen- tial to the scientific department and all its students study Snow and know her well. Snow’s voice, strange as it may seem, is in no danger of freezing, for she chatters, chatters as she goes and she goes on forever. Barking and frisking about, causing excessive annoyance in our dignified class-meetings, was a small skye terrier. It tMNIS om I is still in the possession of ’95, although for a while it had acquired the habit of running at the heels of’96. It is capricious, sometimes playing and romping with the most trivial objects, such as a chemical lecture or a society reci- tation, again moping in the corner in spite of all coaxing. Quick to learn all sorts of tricks and capers, it hates to be petted, although not averse to notice. Its greatest fault is a fondness for barking, and although this causes no alarm, since the little animal is perfectly harmless, yet we can never be sure of quiet, except when it is asleep. It wears a little blanket on which is embroidered, “ U. S. Army ' also a red collar, bearing the word “Lad.” Besides these we had, also, that first year JZ. our walking interrogation point, and for full four years the professsor have been succes sively attacked by the plea, “ May I ask a question, please ?” and have leaned back with resigned submission to listen to the never- ending stream of sonorous phrases. A stenographer without the shorthand, never a word escapes her vigilance, but AS r , all that falls from the lips of our august guardians, our tender guides in halls or ■ '' class-room, is jotted down in one of her cutting “ gym,” also of cutting amazing theories. What she might do, were it voluminous note books. She is fond of capers, reminding one of the Darwinian Chi 1 4 _07 iOM not for the crippling effect of chilblains, '95 is unable to imagine. Full of kindly suggestions, with con- siderate regard for others' opinions (? , she smilingly wards off all opposition to her cherished schemes, and rides on to her goal serenely unconscious of the bleeding forms beneath her hobby’s feet. When we came back as rampant Sophomores, it was to find, to our great confusion and dismay, our chief executive fled to the arms ol matrimony. Our vice-presi- dent had also chosen her partner for life. Forces were shattered, but ’95’s spirit rose to the emergency, and we entered upon the campaign of '92 '93 with all original fearlessness and conceit. One of those acquired in our Sophomore year, was one of the few remaining individuals of a special order prepared several years ago by the “Maiden Aunt's Factory.” She has natural curls and is advanced in thought. Is given to dress reform and heelless boots. She advocates Woman's Rights and men’s subjection, and intends to found a nurs- ery for the rearing of hen-pecked members of the opposite sex. We see her in the future, when in the “wee sma hours” error tries to wave his banner o'er her head, absent-mindedly remarking,“Will some one please make a motion to adjourn! ” Another freak that came to '95 that year was one brought to She-no : . Tea Mount SethiLAcademy: ?t i a i � K. i (h $ t s Baltimore from a little log cabin set down in the middle of a cotton field in one of our Southern states. Here, while wintry blasts coursed freely through the room, she sat in hood and mittens, by a window, guiltless of glass, laboriously picking out her A, B. C's. Lex is her name, and her motto reads, “ Est meum officium.” For the sake of her class, she was even led, in trying to live up to this, to most effectually silence the Dean, on one occasion, by a sharp speech, which surprised him and the students alike. Though a worker in the slums of the city, she is careful to inform all that she does it not from charity and love of her fellow-man, but from sociological reasons. Altogether the specimen is a curious one, and attracts many observers, none of whom are fully able to satisfy their curiosity, for adaman- tine rocks yield more readily to persuasion than does this daughter of Scotland and Erin’s isle. Floating on the streams about Baltimore at this time there came to our notice a specimen of Lilia Philadelphi- ensis, which invites the attention of all naturalists. This plant thrives only in the water, and a gutter or slimy pool causes it to flourish like a green bay tree. News- boys and dogs take special delight in seeking out this flower. It “perishes” in a snow storm, and brine is its special element. One always present to our senses was the reporter of our college Joys and sorrows. THE REPORTER. THE FIRST DAY. A maiden slim. A coaxing look. A fetching grin, A small note-book. With rapid strokes Her pen docs flee. In sanguine hopes They'll send a V. THE SECOND DAY. A maiden slim. A savage look. She tears her hair. She (lings her book. For where's her V. She isn’t in it. That news, you sec. They did not print it. One who pesters us equally as much, is a tall, dark, aesthetic-looking creature, who, like Sara of Bible fame, is a princess in appearance as well as in name. But, alas, 25 JIB’S Cul Jl„- � C. Pto.

Her capacity for business is her most important characteristic. She looks upon every girl only as a possible subscriber, on the men as embryo advertisers. “ Have you paid your subscription ? ” “ Can’t you get me an ad. ? ” are the remarks with which she pounces upon the unwary passer-by. You might think she read the newspapers in order to gain the world’s news for the day. Oh no, she looks at the financial status of her advertisers. Like Spartan parents, we Juniors let the little Freshmen display their prowess before committing ourselves. But when we found them strong and sturdy we took them at once under our protection, and never were children better trained in the rules of athletics and practice of law. We tested their nerves by a ghost party and brought them up on sassafras tea. Let us show you then some of our prominent leaders of the Junior year. The M. A. P. and Guide Book of ’95 has been a valuable possession from the beginning. We recommend it for information on the following subjects: How to run for office. How to manage a class. How to start a frat. How to run a college settlement chapter. How to organize a glee club. How to report for the daily and get the latest college news. How to go to Lutherville. How to keep a diamond ring clean and write six letters a week. v.cc r T jE Along with its map and guide-book ’95 possesses also an automatic machine which accomplishes an enor- mous amount of work per day. Every quarter of a sec- ond is occupied, and it is not until June, 1895, that it is to be allowed to rest in sleep. Transporta- tion from Lutherville to Baltimore every day is necessary to its good working, and the proximity of the M. A. P. is also successful in directing its energies. The Biological and Chemical professors pour into the slot, protozoa, acids, book-learning, salts, dissecting knives, and dogs, and after a great grinding, a fine —, sheepskin in June is the promised result. 26 About this time there began to gambol about in the halls a brown and white kitten, which may now be seen any day between Goucher Hall and Calvert Street. It wears a Yale blue ribbon about its neck, on which is embroidered the name “ Dot.” It likes milk and roots dug up in ancient Greek. It is affectionate, playful and irresponsible, is very fond of all kinds of ball, foot-ball especially. In strong contrast to this roly-poly (?) little animal is: A linguishing. languishing maid. A tall and slender young maid. Takes the role of Sir Peter. Apes swelldom as you meet her. This damsal so gay. yet so staid. She's a thin and drawling young maid, She cares not for lessons, this maid. She's a true Western farmer. A breezy young charmer. When she on the boards doth parade. Upon the next tap we read Vetricia Dinwiddiensis, collected from southern Ohio; first found in Virginia. Rare family, given the name of the governor of the state. In order to pursue the study of the specimen, great care must be taken in handling it. It should be kept in an open place, for the Vetricia abhors close contact. Many times instead of seek- ing the society of her companions she sits brooding in some lonely grotto; her witch's cauldron a waste-paper basket upheld by a tripod of fountain pens. Gnomes, disguised as little printers' devils whisk in and out and round about, and by their capricious movements disar- range the manuscripts so carefully prepared. A lithe paper snake twines gracefully round the tall witch's hat at her side. This specimen was once brought down from its work and placed before the Psychology class for inspection, and everything to her “was as clear as day,'' and had “ been known for a long time.” She needed only to “ give one look in order to convey her thoughts to the class. Among our best works of art was a painting of Hati Tomi Sau, Japanese historian and poetess singing her latest epic “But-Ti.” She is clad in her favorite costume of scarlet and cerise satin. Her blooming appearance is caused by much out-door exercise and a strict adherence to the rules of health as laid down in the Home C ” circular. This pic- ture is offered as a prize to the senior who retires earliest at night. Circulating through the halls never far from this painting is one evidently destined for Mt. Hope. She neither strides nor floats. Hers is not a majestic grace but with not more than two steps she can safely clear any distance between her position and that of a mem- ber of the Y. W. C. A. She heeds not the outward tendency of the ends of her gown, nor the backward tilt of her cap, but with fierce determ- ination and a wild look in her eye, she flies about the halls a veritable ship of night. What is she muttering? German poetry ? No, not this time. “ Important meeting meeting business meeting must have song-books must have five cents—five cents five cents—ja, ja—Spatzchen,- Katzchen — five cents ja, ja. We began our career in our own minds the night of the Senior banquet, when our minds were fully impressed by the uninterrupted vision of the dignity which next year we should wear. Since September, we consider that we have rapidly acquired all the graces which, as seniors, we are supposed to possess. Our dignity consorts well with our years, but, like Moses of old, our sight is not dimmed nor is our natural force abated. As a proof of this let us describe to you a scene of almost daily occurrence. Wind blowing a gale -people hastening to their morning work. Will she make it? Two minutes of nine and five blocks to go. Swaying from side to side with flaming cheeks and heaving breath, desperately she pushes on. Spectators cheer her as she sweeps by like a loco- motive, her magenta ribbons, like danger signals, streaming in the wind. The door is reached and she steams into the hall 'mid shouts of joy from the excited crowds. But alas! she is doomed to disappointment again. The door is shut; the roll is called. When in after years she appears on the stage as Madame Swellico, the great soprano, will she interest the American public as she did long before as the tardy Miss Quick? Of all peculiar specimens that may perchance be found. Within the Woman's College or within the world around ; She is the most peculiar, of whom I wish to speak. Some people call her gloomy, some, say she is a freak. But when I tell you that she lives up in a higher sphere. And that the ideal of all things is to her heart most dear. You will not wonder that she calls college a dreary place. When mathematics and Alt Deutsch ” come staring her in the face. Among our number is a member of the Faculty, full professor in Sociology, although her assistant usually occupies the professorial chair. She . was procured from Columbian College, transported with great care, and now occupies a conspicuous position in our museum of natural curiosities. Only the doc- trine of the Trans- migration of Souls can explain one of her • most • salient characteristics the desire to hug most violently the people of her acquaintance. ft OlCITjAE .ARY _ With the exception of one adorable a curly-headed giant — she scorns the genus homo, and has herself undertaken to practice in one of their most well beloved professions, in order the more readily to dispense with them. If she overwhelms her patients as she does the members of her class, by the sheer force of a mighty enthusiasm, it is predicted that she will either kill or cure at once, there can be no middle course. This curiosity was lately acquired from the class of ’96 and still bears traces of her former unfortunate surroundings. She evinces a lingering fondness for the chem. lab., where she has often been found filtering, evaporating and quantitating as late as 6 p. m. Among her most noticeable characteristics is the irremediable habit of drinking tea, in company with a select circle—“students” of mascu- line gender preferred; for J. H. U. is the shrine at which she bows, and, in turn, to her as Mother Confessor, all woes are confided. Among our most talented members is one who divides her time between two occupations —cutting “soc” and chasing the members of '95 to relieve them of any small change they may happen to possess. She has even been known to heartlessly extract one last nickel from an unlucky wight. So fleet of foot is she and so strong of arm that no victim ever escapes her. Athletics is her major study, and we may yet hear of her as the champion lady foot-ball player—the lady Sandow. An • A is for dignified Anna. Now feasting on intellect’s manna.

It has been noticed that it is not bilaterally symmetrical; that is, that the podia are different in shape, one being pointed, the other square. This difference brings out a strong characteristic; for there seems to be epic poet has further described he JO a wonderful lack of memory, or the presence of what we should call, in a higher order, absent-mind- edness. As a result it wore different shoes. Another characteristic of the individual is its determi- nation.

But, alas, sooner or later, it must yield to an unkind fate and follow the sad footsteps of the preceding executives of '95. f KR r We LlJ 3� I � , I ' A� 2 2f.

History of Class of ’97. the course of College events, when it had become necessary for class spirit to be made manifest, there arrived a class by the name of “ninety-seven.” And lo! the grave and mighty Seniors said it was most good to look upon, and invited all its members to a tea, which should be as a sign unto'97 that they were beloved by '94. And it came to pass after a few days, that another class arose and said, “ Behold, let us send a challenge to '97 to play tennis, for we are convinced that we shall win. And the name of this class was '96. But the end thereof was not good to these, for they were vain and proud in heart; but to the victors it brought honor and sore throats, and they raised a new song and said: Come let us sing unto this Class. For it is great above them all. Let us make a joyful noise unto '97. For “palmam qui meruit ferat. And again did these same foolish virgins from '96 seek to frighten '97, and issued long papers and wore stern faces and the gowns and hats that had been wrecked in the tournament, and sum- moned members from '97 to appear before a court. But their lawyers were not lawyers, and their warrants not warrants, and the court not a court, and the Freshmen not guilty. ftiey cctWeA. A a. Jurtj But the Juniors were their friends, and gave them a fine witch party, and sassafras tea and chest- nuts and taffy. But the Sophomores approved not of this, for they wished also to enter in; wherefore they hardened their hearts, and stood without and raised their voices and did howl and blow horns, and pretend to exult within themselves until they lifted up their eyes and beheld a long hose hanging from the window. And behold, after a season, these Freshmen made a great feast, and sang their song and toasted themselves, and made fun of the Sophs, and ate and were filled. And one day the Sophomores thought to take the Seniors for a ride, but '97 and the weather prophet thought not so and sent a heavy rain. And again did they think the same, yea, and even seven times did they think so, but were mistaken. And the Freshmen repented and the eighth time sent no rain, but let them start, and even had their tally-ho decorated in violet and white. But '96 loved not those colors, and tore them off; but the freshmen wore them for streamers and sashes, and the Sophomores looked upon the Freshmen with much anger, and smiled not for many days. And it came to pass that after the summer season had spent itself, another class arrived and were given another tea by other seniors. And when the Sopho- mores looked on '98, they saw its members were of a tender age. And, being old friends of the Seniors, '97 did appoint two of its members to stand without the gates and pin a bow of bright ribbon on each Freshman as she entered in unto the tea, which was to be as a sign unto '95 that the wearer was truly invited. Now the color of the ribbon was green and looked exceeding well. And again was '98 invited to a party, and lo! they would have gone much too soon, but '97 kindly hinted it was not good form, and the hint was conveyed by means of locks and keys. And '97 met '98 but one more time, and it was upon the tennis field, for '98 had been invited to play with the Sophomores. But the Freshmen did not play tennis, so when '97 had finished, they gave '98 a pretty nose-gay, and themselves a silver cup for winning, and went home and asked the Freshmen to do nothing more, but were dignified, and showed themselves most worthy to be imitated by '98 when they should be Sophomores.

The end of their pilgrimage brought them, in the autumn, to a palace wonderful which was opening its halls to a throng of trembling maidens. As the massive door closed upon them with an ominous thud, retreat become impossible and advance meant the braving of the guardian dragon, the guide to Labyrinth of Learning. The way was hard, the mazes intricate, and tne kind leader was often lost to view in a blurr of tears. But relief seemed promised when, as Freshmen of ’98, they went to the garden of palms in the midst of the palace for tea, at the request of the eldest inhabitants. Oh, most reverenced Seniors, what shall this poor historian say of your good wishes lasting but an afternoon ! While enjoyment was at its height, with stealthy tread and mischief in her eye, the first dragon approaches. With a wheezing hiss one green scale is cast upon them, and the first victory is won. With a haunting triumphant smile this dragon watches the close of an October day. This smile is caused by “ weeks of practice in tennis while ’98 had built its hopes upon the sands.” There is a soft spot in every crea- ture’s heart, and even this dragon robbed her treasure - house to bestow pretty gifts upon her oppo- nent. A bit of silver the reward, shall we say? of merit gleamed for an instant; but soon fell into the claws of the gloating dragon who, with a satisfied grin and a fiend- ish shout seized the mug and hugging it closely, clattered away to her den. One evening when the Freshmen were dressing for the fairies’ ball, this fiery dragon again plotted to scorch their petticoats. But the splash, splash of the primitive fire-extinguisher from over the locked doors dampened the ardour of the gibbering imps of this monster. At the appointed hour two fairies appeared and led the way through a wind- ing path into a dimly lighted corridor. In the distance glimmered a speck of light, while strains of the harp grew louder and louder as they approached. Suddenly a flood of light and music burst upon them. Crowds of fairy princes and princesses were flitting hither and thither 42 dazzling their guests with splendor. In their centre stood their queen, who greeted the maidens cordially, and, later on in the evening, honored one of them by crowning her. That night each maid dreamed of her fairy prince. Christmas is approaching — that feeling of awe and wonderment is v earing off and the answers are not so short and sweet as at first, when each arose with her heart in her mouth. In many a corner a faithful Freshie is seen struggling to conquor the next dragon. This battle is regarded with more pleasure by all the other inhabitants of the palace than by the participants themselves. They seem to feel recompensed in seeing 1 | others tortured by the matriculation exams. Often on Monday nights the maiden's dreams are disturbed “arrec- taeque horrore comae et vox faucibus haesit ” as she feels her couch surrounded by the ghosts of the little black and tans which have been sacrificed to her in Hygiene. Although this dragon of ’97 tormented '98 in many ways, each time the sting grows less sharp, for its strength is slowly ebbing until one snowy day her body lies in a lamentable state of stiffness and starkness. The solemn procession of ’98 preceded by the muffled pan and tolling dinner-bell, winds slowly through spacious halls of the palace out toward the snow-bedecked graveyard, where the interment takes place.

LOOKING COLLEGEWARD. Standing, with reluctant feet, Where the brook and river meet, is the graduating class of the Girls' Latin School in the last term of this year of grace, eighteen hundred and ninety-five. Gazing, with a timid glance. On the brooklet’s swift advance, On the river’s broad expanse, we realize that we must soon leave the happy home of our last four years, and cross the great river which stretches before us, to reach the promised land beyond. The reluctance to attempt this unknown passage increases inversely as the time decreases. For many perils threaten us, one of the most terrible of which is the dangerous rock Scylla, whose six heads are the terror and bane of the whole Class. The heads are concealed beneath the surface of the waves, and if one has not learned skillfully to cope with them, destruction is sure to result. Oh! let every student beware of that treacherous head known as Geometry, and also of the neighboring English; the other four, all of which bear some resemblance to each other, are called respectively: Latin, Greek, German and French. But the greatest danger is beyond that; for the unlucky student who attempts to escape this Scylla, is exposed to the whirl-pool opposite, which was known to the ancients as Charybdis, but is called in our tongue by the more appalling name Examinations. Many hapless students having safely sailed to this point, and almost gained the harbor, have been borne down the dreaded whirl-pool, never to be heard of more. The dread of these and many other perils is partly the reason for the pause of indecision, as the Class comes within sight of the river. However, only vague murmurs have at times reached us of the dangers of crossing, but glowing accounts have we heard of the New World which lies 45 beyond; and as it now rises into view, we lose some of the regret which we feel in leaving our well- beloved Latin School forever, and think only of the fields Elysian” to which we are summoned by the bright angels inhabiting them. New hope takes possession of the heart of this brave Class, and we eagerly exclaim : Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, we will enter the Woman’s College of Baltimore.” Lo! the voyage is passed, and with joyful hearts we triumphantly enter the harbor. Our deter- mination and strength have enabled us to escape every danger, and we are now safely landed before the Woman's College of Baltimore. Great rejoicing and congratulation arise among us that so many of our number have ventured to cross. The few who are missing, have escaped all the dan- gers before-mentioned, but, putting aside this hope of fair advantage, have preferred to eo pleasure- sailing down the river. We can only hope that some propitious wind will waft them back to our harbor. From many other shores, however, are arriving those who, having heard of the fame of this College, seek permission to wear its symbols, and a right to earn its laurels. At first it seemed as if we would be entirely lost in the multitude of new arrivals; but these soon express their desire to join our ranks, and thus reinforced, the new Class of '99 is formed. The supreme moment of our lives has at last arrived, and with much fear and trembling, but with joy unspeakable, we don the sacred blue and gold, and array ourselves in the cap and gown (the envy and admiration of our Latin School days), and rejoice in the fact that we have put away childish things forever. Not that we have forgotten our origin; for the affection which we preserve for the Latin School is manifested by our interest for its welfare, as well as by the outward and visible sign of the red and gold. But each member is every inch a Freshman, and not for a moment does she forget the dignity and importance belonging to her position. 1 ©flictro o{ tbf 3rt Department ■ • ■ • President, CLARA T.

Regular meetings of this organization arc held every two weeks at the home of the President, for the study of the History of Art. Special attention is paid to Architecture. Sculpture and Painting, the members confining their research to such examples as may be seen in the city. It is not my intention as a representative of this department to divulge any of the studio secrets. To do so would be high treason. Only the initiated are permitted to enjoy the delights of our work shop, and to such alone does our door stand open. The College Seal hangs just above the entrance of our domain, and all who enter naturally assume an air of quiet dignity. High above the heads of many people we dwell. Impenetrable walls surround us, and with only the blue dome above, isolated and alone, toiling from early morn till the twilight hour, we strive to discover and represent some of the hidden truths in Nature. Work in life class is always interesting, and we frequently discover our models to be no less noteworthy than those who pose for celebrated artists. One of our models, from whom we had been working for several days, decided one morning to leave her false teeth at home, and lo—the trans- formation! On the other hand, the change in one of Mr. Weir's models was even greater, for a man, not being able to fill an appointment with this artist, sent a substitute to pose in his place. 4� }£S HROUGH the sky-light in the studio the moon-beams came, tinting the mus- tard-colored cloth on the model throne a mysterious green. The casts, strange to say, were all talking, both sets, for in the studio, as elsewhere, there is caste. Two classes—the casts with their eyes open and those with eyes closed. The former felt very superior but were extremely polite, most of them being French, just imported, and never made the others feel their position. Sometimes, when the sightless were getting the best of any weighty argument, the others would blink their eyes and wonder if they relied too much upon sight, and thus neglected their reasoning powers. To-night they were all on the alert. There had been a slight noise in the studio near the door, and the open-eyed casts said it was the faithful janitor at the thermometer, but the others stoutly maintained that it was the studio rat. Voltaire and Pascal hung on the sides of the mantel-piece, and, being the ablest representatives of their respective parties, led the debate. Voltaire was saying, “Although turned your way at the time, having eyes, open eyes, I insist that it was the janitor. “Sir, I am not impressionable, replies the dignified Pascal, with closed eyes, “I deeply meditate and “Meditate? Sir! I have patched up the manuscript of kings—not an easy task, and “Sir, at the age of sixteen, Sir, of sixteen, I wrote a treatise on conic sections which was considered— “Don’t yer get persunul there. You'se off the subject, see ! cries the fighting gladiator. “O don’t, please don't! pleads the sweet little woman. 49 “Don’t quarrel, it isn't— “Sir!” continues the irrepressible Voltaire, “the force of habit is so strong with that man—” “It is equally strong with a rat. It is the gnawing, scrambling instinct with a rat.” “Kill the rat!” shouts Cardinal Ximenes in thunderous command, and the casts fairly shook on the walls. Then the Florentine priest stuck out his chin and gazed inquiringly up at the Unknown Woman, and the attention of all the casts, as of a human crowd, followed his lead. Had she spoken? this inexplicable woman, or was she about to offer some subtle, valuable opinion? The casts gazed and listened with bated breath, and Narcissus, in his anxiety to see over a drawing board, came near losing his balance and finding a watery grave. Still this silent, sphinx-like woman moved no muscle, and yet not moving, seemed to move. Just then the first venturesome sunbeam (the mystic spell is broken) came through the sky-light in the studio, touching the moon-beams on the brow of the Unknown Woman into a dream-like, impressionistic purple. ipsi Copter of 2)elta (Bantina.

The Social Science Club, started in the fall of '92, before Sociology was a required study, has a two-fold object. First, to interest students in the leading social and economic problems of the day; and second, to aid students desiring such assistance to pursue a course at the college. Thus far the first end has been attained largely by lectures from men and women distinguished for their proficiency in different fields of research. The wide range covered by the lectures may be judged by some of the subjects treated: Women and the Study of Social Problems; Home Hygiene; Christianity the Motive of Social Science; College Settlements; Lessons of the Chicago Strike; Tariff. The mem- bership fees of fifty cents per annum are added to the fund started by a gift from Mrs. Hal Sayre, from which loans are made to needy students, thus illustrating what many people forget that it is not necessary to give large sums to aid a college or its students. 74 Officers President, Vice-President, Secretary.

The first prayer-meeting was held on the day of prayer for colleges, and the meetings were con- tinued each Sunday afternoon. In a needy neighborhood not far from the College a gymnasium for children was opened. The delegate to the Summer School at Northfield served on the Athletic Committee with members from Mt. Holyoke, Smith and Wellesley Colleges. With the opening of this college year, in addition to the Sunday service, Wednesday evening prayer-meetings were established. The Association is maintaining, in the factory districts nearby, a Working Girls’ Club, at which instruction is given in light gymnastics and a course of reading in standard authors is carried on. The day of prayer for colleges this year was observed with appropriate exercises. A class for study in missionary topics has been organized and meets weekly. 75 President or Elector, Vice-President.

The Elector of the Chapter represents it at the semi-annual meetings held at one of the three Houses, and is an active member of the electoral or governing board of the Association. One of our friends has already promised us a house in Baltimore slums, and all that is now wanting is sufficient money to pay a head-worker’s salary. It is hoped that this will soon be accom- plished, for much is expected of the Alumnae Chapter which is to be formed in a few months in addition to and independent of the Undergraduate Cnapter. •f WOMAN S COLLEGE BRANCH OF THK Inter-Collegiate Debating Union.

Following this example, the members of the Chemical Department of the Protestant College of Beyroot, Syria, estab- lished in 1894 a similar organization. 78 « i The students of the Biological department have had many pleasant informal meetings during the last two winters, and pleasure and profit have been reaped in rich harvest from these informal gatherings. The readings have been principally in Darwinism and Heredity, and we have also had interesting papers and reviews from students and pro- fessors. Our field expeditions have been particularly enjoyable. Last spring, frogs, mayflowers and violets were in their season hunted and found. In daisy time, we were charmingly entertained at Zemalanee falls, by one of the students who is fortunate enough to live in the country. Athough we have as yet no “ local habitation or a name, we make up for the first deficiency by taking possession of Bennett Hall Annex every other Thursday evening, and in addition to the scientific attrac- tions, marshmallows and bowling add not infrequently to the pleasure of the evening. 79 I MISS HILKEN, DR.

BY FRANK V. BllTlER. HERE was much in the outer habit of Professor Gorton, perhaps much in the inner man as well, that bespoke in him the genuine Baltimorean. This was, indeed, but natural, since he was born and always lived in Baltimore, passing compara- tively little even of the recognized vacation season outside its limits. In ancestry, however, it was only on his mother’s side that he was of Southern origin. His father came to Maryland in early life from Madison County, New York, where his own grandfather, a native of Rhode Island, had settled just after the Revolu- tion. In Rhode Island, the name of Samuel Gorton, in whose person the family was transferred from English to American soil, is remembered as one of some note among the pioneer settlers. The impression received from the story of his life by Mackie is, that this Samuel Gorton was a man “truly gifted, though somewhat singular,” of notable piety, great personal energy, and marked independence of mind. After having come from England, in 1636, to the New World, in order “to enjoy liberty of conscience,” as he says, “in respect to faith towards God, and for no other end,” he passed through the vicissitudes of religious persecution in three settlements, viz: at Boston, at Plymouth and in Rhode Island, only to come out triumphant in the end in being permitted to think and to wor- ship as his mind and conscience directed. He left behind him at death a considerable body of religious literature, the product of such leisure as a life busy with practical employments would permit. In his later years he held different local offices and seems to have been looked up to by the community as a leader in matters of public concern. It is not difficult to trace some resemblance, in point of intellectual vigor, energy of purpose, and straightforwardness and openness of character, between this sturdy independent of other days and him who is the subject of this sketch. Wm. Curns Lawrence Gorton, the youngest child of William Stuart Gorton and Mary Anne Marshall, his wife, was born in East Baltimore, March 24, 1866. Besides a sister, now Mrs. Katha- 93 ! rine Lindsay, he was the only one of five children to reach maturity. As a child he was strong, healthy, and fond of all outdoor sports, and gave early promise of a character of special energy. No less, however, did he distinguish himself by a taste for books and an aptitude for study. At the age of six he entered the public schools of Baltimore, to which alone he owed his educa- tion up to the time when he was ready for the university. It is, perhaps, a matter of interest, in connection with this fact, to know that at death Professor Gorton left special directions that his children should attend the public schools. He was a pupil first at No. 23 Primary School, and after- wards at No. 2 Grammar School. When twelve years of age, he entered the Baltimore “City College —as the only public secondary school in Baltimore is called. At the City College his teachers still remember him as the leader of his class in scholarship, as diligent and faithful in the performance of all his duties, and as particularly modest and unobtrusive. His relations with his teachers appear to have been uniformly pleasant. Among his instructors at the City College he spoke most frequently at home of Professor Elliott and Professor Soper, for whom he cherished a lasting affection. As a pupil he found acquisition so easy that to his family it always seemed, up to the time when his university career began, as if study were for him little more than play. While his work in the languages was excellent, he developed a special fondness for natural science and most of all for mathematics, a taste that seems to have been in part hereditary, since it is possessed also by his father and sister. At graduation from the City College, in 1883, he received one of the Peabody prizes of one hundred dollars given to those three members of the class who stand highest in scholarship. Outside of school he seems to have had abundant energy for other things. In all outdoor sports he had early become a leader among his companions in East Baltimore. When out of school and not occupied with home duties, he seems to have been always haunting the water-side; swimming, row- ing, “crabbing,” skating, according to the season, so that in after years he came to describe himself jocosely as having been in boyhood one of the “wharf rats.” Two of his colleagues at the College remember well the boyish enthusiasm he showed in taking them off for a frolic one day two years ago, and in making them acquainted with the delectations of crabbing. As he grew a little older, tennis and lacrosse exercised their fascination upon him, and in these sports he was no less a leader among the East Baltimore boys than he had been in others. Though his splendid physique and his abounding animal spirits led him in boyhood to throw himself so completely into these sports of his mates, he was in no way brutalized by them, but remained good-natured, affectionate, unselfish, in all. It is characteristic of him that in early childhood, notwithstanding his fondness for outdoor play, the privilege of “helping mother” surpassed all play in interest for him. Professor Gorton's parents were members of the Broadway Methodist Episcopal Church, and it was with this church that he entered into relations as a child that were maintained, without any break or any failure of personal interest on his part, to his death. While very young he entered th: Sunday l. school. When he grew old enough, he became a teacher, and thereafter served the school in every official capacity, giving to the performance of his varying duties ever the same cordial interest and dili- gence. It was at the age of thirteen years that he joined the church, having been baptized in infancy. Those who knew him best speak of his religious feeling in subsequent years as deep and unaffected, though this was a subject on which he was, all of his life, little given to speaking. He appears never to have passed through violent crises of religious experience, and not to have been tortured at any time by the agonies of doubt through which it is the lot of many of a studious and reflective habit of mind to pass. His faith was simple and childlike, and it was not only without fear that he approached death at the last, but with religious confidence and resignation. But though so little disposed to discuss his religious feelings, he never hesitated to speak out his convictions clearly. Particularly was he roused to something like indignation by the vapid and intol- erant skepticism of some in university circles and elsewhere who thought themselves, as he said, too smart to believe in religion;” and I well remember the evidences of extreme concern with which he told me once of the religious doubts into which one of his students had been thrown by the agency of a skeptically disposed companion and fellow student. Professor Gorton was all his life a careful student of the Bible, and he was of too thoughtful a nature not to reflect upon religious problems. Especially in his last years did he show a growing interest in the higher criticism,” and while I do not know that he ever came to any ultimate conclusion as to its merits, his conversation seemed to give evidence of sympathy with every effort of scholarship to give the utmost of life and meaning to the literature of the Bible. It was in the summer of 1883 that Professor Gorton was graduated from the City College. Shortly after this event he passed through what was to him then a very painful experience, trivial though it may seem after the lapse of years. A gentleman resident in Baltimore, having a son who was dull and backward in his studies, applied to Professor Elliott, of the City College, for someone to accom- pany the boy to the seashore as nis tutor for the summer. Professor Elliott sent young Gorton to him, as one thoroughly equipped, trustworthy and in every respzct capable of rendering the service required. For reasons that were not stated, however, and which ever remained a mystery, the gentleman refused to receive him. The humiliation of this rebuff he felt keenly. He returned to his home from the inter- view completely crushed for the time being, and ever after spoke of it as the one disappointment of his life. It is not improbable that the gentleman in question was surprised to see so young a man, and, forgetful that the terms of his request to Professor Elliott had left the question of fitness to be decided by the latter rather than by himself, on account of his youth refused him. It was at this time that the young man found himself confronted by the important question as to what his life work should be. His magnificent physique and natural activity, his manifest aptitude for leadership and a certain adventurous quality of mind, seem not unnaturally to have suggested the army to him as offering opportunities for a suitable career. His father had already sought to 95 have him entered at West Point, but at the time of the application there had been no vacancy. An opportunity did present itself for him to enter the Naval Academy at Annapolis, but to this Mr. Gorton was unwilling; to give his consent. Having, therefore, in the summer after leaving the City College, nothing else definite to look forward to, he determined to compete for an honorary scholarship at the Johns Hopkins University in the following October, and, if successful, to enter the undergraduate department there. He was successful, obtaining, for excellence in the examinations, a three years' scholarship, and at once became a student in the University. This step in the direction of an academic career seems, however, not to have been considered so far final by him, but that he still had some thought of going elsewhere to take up another line of work. Not only did he enter into correspondence with tne school of Technology, at Troy, N. Y., but he went so far as to visit Lehigh University to look into the facilities for the study of civil engi- neering there, with the thought of devoting himself to that profession. On entering the Johns Hop- kins University, however, he had chosen mathematics, physics and astronomy as his special subjects of study and he soon found himself so deeply interested in them that, under the influence of his “adviser, Dr. Story, now of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., he determined to complete the course, and to fit himself for a professorship of mathematics. One of the several influences that led to his first choice of the Hopkins and his final determination to remain there, was, in all probability, his friendship with William S. Eichelberger, now Professor of Astronomy at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut. The two had been classmates at the City College, and had shared in the honors of the Peabody prizes at graduation. Their friendship was of the closest, and was based, apparently, upon similarity of tastes and disposition. On entering the Hopkins both chose mathematics as their “major study, and they advanced pari passu year by year. Both distinguished themselves by the excellence of their work, in which they entered into a sort of rivalry so friendly and unselfish as to become a subject of special remark by Dr. Fabian Franklin, the instructor under whom most of their undergraduate work in mathematics was done. Professor Franklin speaks of Professor Gorton as having been one of the best students he ever had. Indeed, his reputation at the Hopkins throughout his course appears to have been that of a successful and even brilliant student, full of high promise for the future. No less did the manliness and geniality of his character impress itself upon his associates there. Professor Franklin, ever open to impressions of high character, seems to have felt himself especially drawn to young Gorton, though in the strenuous hurry that belongs to university life in these days, by contrast with all its traditions of old, he came to know little of him beyond what he saw in the class room. For this instructor, in turn, Professor Gorton felt an ever increasing regard, a degree of affection and confidence which made it but natural that just before his death he should especially direct his wife, in settling up his affairs afterwards, to seek Professor Franklin's friendly counsel in those matters in which he could be of assistance to her. His reputation as a successful student early brought to him opportunities to engage in private tutoring, which he kept up through the larger part of his university course. His experience in this went far to con- firm him in his choice of the career of a teacher. The amount of this extra work which he undertook was not so great, however, but that he still found time for keeping himself up physically by gymnasium practice, and by engaging in outdoor sports. In the gymnasium he enjoyed the reputation of being the most muscular man of his day in the University. Apart from the work and associations of the University, church and Sunday-school still formed a centre of interest for him, the more, perhaps, now that he had become a member of the church choir. He had always been fond of music. He had, like so many Baltimore boys, learned to play the cornet. From the time he entered the choir, he maintained his connection with it, being for one year its leader, until he was compelled by illness to withdraw. In June, 1886, he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts. On commencing his graduate studies in the following October, he was granted a university scholarship for the year. This was followed by a fellowship in 1887-88, while during his final year at the University, 1888-89, he enjoyed the dignity, such as it is, of “fellow by courtesy. His work during these three years was carried on chiefly under Professors Craig, Newcomb and Remsen. It was executed, as ever, with diligence and energy, his efforts only redoubling as he approached the goal before him. That he should have been able to take the doctorate of philosophy at the early age of twenty-three, and after only three years of graduate study, one of which was given largely to other duties, presently to be mentioned, bespeaks unusual diligence and unusual abilities. It was a kind of work requiring the utmost mental concen- tration and mental endurance. To accomplish it with full success was no longer the half playful thing that study had always been to him from his earliest years, but an altogether serious and a deeply engrossing task. It was at this time, when all his energies were thus bent to the mastery of a great field of science an aim that can never be followed out worthily to its legitimate end under any trivial or less lofty motives than those of a high and abstracted intellectual ambition that his outside friends and the members of his family first came to realize how serious and great was the work in life which he had accepted as his. Such work always has its discouragements. At times he was baffled and anxious, often exhausted with overwork, but never discouraged, never sorry that he had chosen this for his life work. He took the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in June, 1889, his thesis being written upon Line Congruences 'published in the American Journal of Mathematics, Vol. X, No. 4). But before this event, other events no less important had occurred. In the spring of 1888, he was elected by the Trustees of the newly established Woman’s College of Baltimore, to take charge of the mathemat- ical department in that institution, with the title of Associate Professor of Mathematics. He was to enter upon his duties on the opening of the College in the following September. It was also in the spring of 1888, that he was married to Miss Anna L. Feddeman, of Baltimore. The impaired health of his mother, led his parents to express a wish that he should bring his wife to their home. From the first, therefore, the two families constituted a single household. 97 Thus his final year at the University was the first year of his career as a teacher. In its first year the work of the College was necessarily elementary. He taught arithmetic, algebra and plane geometry in preparatory classes, in addition to the mathematics of tne freshman year. But into this, as into all else that he ever undertook, his native energy led him to throw himself completely. The work, so different from advanced work even in the same subject, had a certain novelty for one still busy at the university, and his lack of experience in teaching classes necessitated careful personal preparation each day. There was added to this the much greater labor connected with his univer- sity studies, labor the effect of which was increased by the necessity of spending a considerable por- tion of several nights each week at the astronomical observatory. It is no wonder that during that first year he used to suffer from the extreme of physical weariness, a sensation that he spoke of as altogether novel, and which he could hardly account for, in view of his perfect health and his pos- session of a frame capable, as he supposed, of almost any endurance. The completion of his university work in 1889 must have greatly lessened the strain under which he had labored for a year. It did, at least, simplify the routine of his life in some important particu- lars. Opportunities came to him, however, for engaging in private tutoring, and he felt obliged to make use of them. Furthermore, he had become, in his university career, too deeply imbued with the spirit of original investigation to be willing to give up the prosecution of his studies along new lines. He became engaged in some original mathematical work, to which he continued to devote every moment he could gain from his other labors. He spared no pains, hardly permitting himself to take any recreation, in order that he might carry out these researches. He engaged in them, first of all, for the love of them, with that zeal which is inevitable to the man of scholarly habit who feels himself capable of contributing something of his own to the advance of his chosen science. To this there was added the personal incentive that comes from a laudable wish to make one's career a suc- cess. The total influence of the university to-day, and the whole spirit of the younger generation, at least, among those engaged in college work, tend to the belief that it is by means of continued original work that success in an academic career is to be assured and recognition to be won. Such a view will appear to many fundamentally absurd, to others the statement of it is a truism, but, whether right or wrong, that it dominates academic life to-day is unquestioned. With Professor Gorton, to make his career a success was not simply something desirable, a laudable ambition, it appealed to him in the light of a necessity. With this for an incentive, he worked early and late, unceasingly, and with an unusual intensity of mental concentration—worked, according to his own drastic expression, “like a very dog.” But it was inevitable that the young and vigorous institution with which he had cast in his fortunes should make larger and larger demands upon the individuals who composed the faculty. It is true that with the development of the upper class work there came, in due time, relief from instruction in preparatory classes, but the college work itself, in each department, was becoming constantly greater and more exacting. What with the increase of his classes, the development in him, with added experience, of the teacher's interest in the imparting of knowledge, with all the labor implied in the effort to make instruction effective, and the demands made upon all by the general internal intests of the College, Professor Gorton found himself at length compelled to give up, for the time being, all thought of accomplishing anything further than what pertained to the immediate duties of his position. Two publictions, one on Centres and Lines of Mean Position (Annals of Mathematics, August, 1891 ), and another on Systems of Rays Normal to a Surface (American Journal of Mathematics, Vol. XIII, No. 2), represent all the original work he was able to finish after he left the university, and only faintly attest the high character of what might have followed in later years. From the time of his entrance upon the work of an instructor in the Woman's College, Professor Gorton's life history was interwoven, to an extraordinary degree, with the inner history of the College itself. During these six years, he was utterly oftentimes anxiously and not without feelings of doubt and discouragement devoted to his work. It is true that within this period two children were born to him and his mother died -events of gravest importance in the life of any man—but these things are common to all. His most distinctive experiences—those who knew best might almost say, his strongest emotions—were connected with his relations to the College as an institution and with his own work in it. According as he found himself drawing perceptibly nearer to an ulti- mate harmony of adjustment between the conditions of his own personal problem,—the problem of working out his mission in life as a teacher, of winning for himself the established place and the unquestioned esteem which were his due, and of fulfilling his obligations to his family, and those conditions under which the College, in the inner changes to which it was subject, developed its ideals and moved toward their realization,—was he contented and happy. When, for the moment, the prospect of such an adjustment seemed to be deferred, he became depressed and anxious beyond measure. For while he was distinctly of a jovial and humorous nature, he did not possess that gift of mental buoyancy which enables its possessor to preserve an unchanging inner cheer under circum- stances naturally depressing. In his regard for the reputation of the College, in the thoughtfulness with which he weighed all questions as to its highest good, in the hopes he cherished for its future, in the readiness with which he did his utmost in its service, he was surpassed by none. To point out the exact character of his influence upon the general policy of the College as an educational institution, or even to tell why, in the discussion of matters of any inportance that were brought before the Faculty, all came to expect and to desire an expression of opinion from him, would be difficult, if indeed, the attempt would be in place here, but no one would question the statement that among his colleagus there was none whose judgment upon all that pertained to the educational function of the College, was more earnestly sought for or mere confidently trusted than his. 99 He attended the first Faculty meeting ever held, and with the opening of the College entered at once upon his class work. He was then but twenty-two years old, but was intellectually mature for his age, though often boyish in manner. With the increase of his experience from year to year and with his advancing maturity, he came steadily on toward the enjoyment of that special consideration and high esteem which were so ungrudgingly bestowed upon him in the last year and particularly in the last months—of his life. The drudgery of committee work was cheerfully accepted by him, and he undertook without expostulating that oversight of the horarium which others are glad enough, if possible, to persuade the mathematical member of the Faculty is his special function. Even this routine drudgery, however, had its use for him, since it tended to familiarize him with the thought of the intricate interdependence of all those elements and relations that go to make up the College as a whole. Very noticeable was the broadening effect exerted upon him by the free discussion of the demands of different subjects of instruction for representation in the curriculum. His intellectual sympathies became ever broader and more catholic. Though he felt bound to insist upon due consideration for his own department, he never refused to yield a point for the common good. He often felt it his duty to act as champion of the natural sciences in their demands for due prominence in the curriculum, but the demand was never urged offensively or to the disadvantge of other subjects. It was especially true of him, that in discussion he never argued persistently in sup- port of a view, as the untrained or half-trained man does, simply because he wished to maintain his position upon it, but he ever sought after the truth at whatever cost to his own reputation for shrewd- ness or consistency of opinion. In the first years after he commenced teaching, Professor Gorton gave all his time to his college work, his advanced mathematical studies, and to private tutoring. He rarely indulged in recreation of any kind and found almost no leisure for reading. There came a time, however, when he found himself compelled to give up this incessant application to routine duties, and determined to devote at least a part of his evenings to other things. It soon became manifest that he was developing a much deeper interest than he had felt before, in many subjects unrelated to his own work. He seems to have read constantly along historical, literary, sociological and philosophical lines, and to have entered into what he read, sufficiently to develope a keen interest in the speculative problems of the day. His moments of leisure at the College were most frequently employed in the discussion with some one of his colleagues, of questions that had arisen in his own mind from reading or reflection upon subjects that fell within the scope of their special studies. His mind was vigorous and ever active. Fond of talk if only for the sake of sociability—for he was of an eminently sociable disposition—he was yet more disposed to sericus talk, that was directed to some end and that broadened one's intelligence and knowledge. He had all of the true student's sympathy with every possible subject and phase of knowledge. Of literature, in the highest sense, he knew perhaps less than do most persons of an intelligence and culture, in other matters, equal to loo his. But the conditions under which the East Baltimore boy grows up are perhaps rather unfavor- able to the development of a distinctively literary taste. Professor Gorton deeply deplored this defect in his intellectual life, and was himself disposed to criticise the exclusively scientific character of the training received during the last six years of his education. In the last few years that he lived he undertook to read standard English and American writers, and would doubtless, had he lived, ere many years have given evidence of no mean knowledge of them. Poetry, he frankly confessed, he had no taste for. This was not so much due, probably, to any fundamental lack in his nature of those elements which qualify one to take delight in poetry, as to the fact that his mind had never been turned to it under happy conditions of mood and opportunity. His mind had none of that essential hardness, that indispositon to contemplate its objects by any other than a day light, which belongs to many men of a distinctively logical mental habit. What was wanting was only a certain mellow- ing of the imaginative faculty, such as might have come any day by a happy accident. For imagi- nation, sentiment, and warmth, even color, of emotion were by no means lacking, and he was sym- pathetic to an unusual degree. In his personal relations with his students, Professor Gorton showed, particularly in the first years of his career at the College, a certain large joviality, a frank and easy bonhomie, that permitted itself the indulgence of playing with the seriousness, and sometimes the perplexity, of the female student wrestling with the elements of mathematical science. He probably did not take the freshman mind in those years quite so seriously as it took itself. Yet he was not altogether free at times from an appearance of being puzzled and even abashed at the mental attitude of the young women before him. Many of us must remember the half-vexed comparisons that he seemed continually making in those first two years between girls and boys in their habits of study, a comparison that he would never have made but for the accident of his having received his education wholly in boys' schools and in a university that admitted men only. But if the feeling arose that he was unsympathetic and exact- ing, it proved soon enough to be plainly a mistake. No one of the Faculty possessed more both of the affection and respect of his students than he soon came to command. His faithfulness in all obli- gations to them, both personal and professional, they could not but see and feel, while that spirit of good-fellowship that led him at first to joke with them so freely and to treat their perplexities lightly, and that made him ever ready to talk with them frankly upon any and every subject, and that showed itself in his playing tennis with them and joining their skating parties, made all his relations with them simple, easy and delightful. Without in the least seeking for it—a purpose utterly foreign to his nature—ne reached the distinction of being the most popular member of the Faculty. To the story of his life there is little to add. Much, indeed, there is, out of the common associa- tions of college life, that lives in the memory of his associates, much that endears all their thoughts of him and that they gladly share with one another by talking it over informally together,—much, too, that must come up vividly to his students from time to time, impressing ever anew upon their minds IOI the thought of his conscientiousness as an instructor, of the vigor of his intellect and the accuracy of his knowledge as a mathematician, his modesty, his patience and his readiness to sacrifice himself for them and his manifest delight in working with them — as well as those strictly personal traits, his humor, his sagacity, and his innate friendliness and openness of character, his love of his work and his sense of its dignity and worth, and of that dignity and worth in the whole college life which made him both avoid for himself and resent in others anything that was petty and narrow or that inter- fered with the possibility that each one, instructor and pupil, should work out in the best way the problem in life given him to solve; — but all this is rather to be cherished and ruminated upon by each in his own mind than to be set down formally here. It remains only to speak briefly of the events that belong especially to the closing months of his life. At the commencement of the year’s work in October of ’ninety-three, difficulty.having been found in arranging for the instruction in the five-hour minor in physics, Professor Gorton volunteered to undertake it in addition to his own work. The department had never been developed, and the mere labor of getting such apparatus as was at hand into condition for use proved very great, oftentimes requiring several hours' work daily. Add to this the fact that Professor Gorton’s study of physics had been interrupted for some five years, and it will be easily seen that he must have found himself greatly taxed, especially when it is remembered that his courses in mathematics were already suffi- cient to engage him fully. In the course of the winter he admitted to his associates that he had undertaken too much. His former instructor, Professor Fabian Franklin, pointed out to him that under such conditions he must either fail in his work or break down in the effort to carry it. That he was becoming hurried and preoccupied, and before many months showed signs of constant weari- ness and worry, was the subject of frequent remark. During that last year, indeed, associations that had been constant before were dropped by him almost completely. Toward spring, there were changes to be made in the horarium for the ensuing year, and though the demands made upon him by such work were, perhaps, but slight, they oftentimes proved vexatious and wearing. Neverthe- less, there were no distinct premonitions of physical disability, beyond, perhaps, that look of weariness and preoccupation which is but too common among instructors and students, in college life, as spring comes on. In April, however, having one Saturday night strained his throat at a choir rehearsal, he suffered the following night from a hemorrhage. This, with the physical prostration following it, was suffi- ciently alarming, in spite of the apparent possibility that the hemorrhage had resulted simply from a trifling accident and that it was not a symptom of pulmonary weakness. In three weeks he was at his post once more, and his appearance was such throughout the rest of the term as to confirm the opinion expressed by physicians that he was not suffering from any seated trouble. The solicitude universally expressed in his behalf at this time touched him very deeply. By action of the Trustees, not only was he relieved of the physics and a part of the mathematics that he had been carrying, but he was now elevated to a full professorship, an honor that would have come to him, however, at that time, quite apart from any mere sympathy aroused by the circumstances of his recent illness. In summer he made a tour of several weeks through some of the most interesting parts of New England. His enjoyment of the trip was very keen, but was cut short by the development of physical ills, which, though he did not connect them with his former trouble, manifestly were, with that, but symptoms of that deep-seated affection which in the end caused his death. He came home to rest for the remainder of the summer, and by September, though the troubles developed in the summer had not wholly disappeared, his health seemed almost completely restored. It seemed now that he was about to enter upon the best and pleasantest year’s work of his life thus far. In Miss VanVleck he had an assistant to whom he could give up the work of the two lower classes, with an assurance of its being well done, while the work remaining to him seemed, in comparison with what he had done in former years, moderate and easy of accomplishment. He had become a full professor, and, far from being overtaxed by the labor of instruction, he looked forward to the prospect of leisure for other than routine duties, hoping to take up once more the private studies that he had before been compelled to discontinue. He stood high in the esteem and affection of the whole College. At the very outset he was called upon to take the place of Dean Van Meter,—who had suddenly become ill,—in directing the classification of the new students and attending to such arrangement of their work as falls to the Dean. This was only for a few days at first, but a second absence of Dr. Van Meter placed Professor Gorton in the office as acting Dean. The duties that fell to him here were executed with unfailing consideration for all with whom he had to do, and with an efficiency that spoke well for his administrative ability. Professor Gorton’s last day at the College was Thursday, October 4th. There is a certain signifi- cance now in the remark he made to his wife on reaching home. “I am so tired !” he exclaimed ; “ but I have finished the last piece of office work to-day, and now the College can go on without either Dr. Van Meter or me for a few days, if need be.” That night there came another hemorrhage. Just five weeks later, on Thursday, November 8th, he died, of what was pronounced to be rapid tuberculosis, with typhoid symptoms. Doubtless for many months he had been in the earlier stages of tuberculosis, but it had existed in a form that did not manifest itself openly until the system was entirely undermined. There seems to have been, in spite of his apparently perfect physique, some constitutional liability to pulmonary disorder. Before he was fully aware of the nature or the seriousness of his illness, Professor Gorton settled his affairs, so far, at least, as to talk them over fully, and to give directions concerning them all. He met death bravely, as has already been said, with religious confidence and resignation. A life more fully occupied than his, would be hard to find. He seemed never to realize the neces- sity of sparing himself. That he should so constantly overtax himself, was due chiefly, perhaps, to the situation in which he found himself, and to the obligations that rested upon him, but beyond that was the sense of an indomitable energy that made him feel capable of all things until he found himself actually worn out, a feeling of strength and independence that made him think lightly of those small precautions that most men exercise day by day as a matter of course. Nevertheless, though thus cut off at the beginning of his career, he had lived long enough not only to manifest distinct promise of exceptional efficiency in his profession, but also to accomplish, in behalf of those ends to which his labors were directed, work whose influence must remain an ever-active and an ever-increasing agency for good.

Editorials arc bewitched. I've writ, writ, writ. And yet got nothing wrote. ELL! I will write you an editorial on something about college life. No, I don’t think it ought to be a story—” I added hastily to a look of expostulation gath- ering in the editor's eyes. I had had a secret longing for sometime to get hold of the editorial pages and just shine. I had a hundred things to say. '‘Well!” said the editor, doubtfully, “but you have your hand in with the stories, you know—but, never mind and we went our different ways. I went around, meaning to keep my eyes open and think up an editorial, but, somehow, I never got it in mind. Three days before the time I was to hand it in, I sat down deliberately with pen and paper. Ideas of all kinds rose up out of my inkstand and fluttered around my pen point. I felt myself rise out of my chair, complaisant and elated, and floated away in a multitude of ideas, nodding right and left, and in high feather. I wrote just about a paragraph, when down to my chair I came, and the ideas turned tail and sailed away, and I sat stupidly blank, nibbling the end of my penholder. Only one little idea was left, and it started hopping away like a lame duck. I crept softly and cau- tiously after it, but it eluded me. I made sudden grabs at it, then desperate lunges to seize it and tie ioS it down to the paper, but it slipped under my mind and over my mind, and hopped about in a simply maddening way, and grew smaller and smaller until it was infinitesimal, and I bigger and bigger until I was simply enormous. The disproportion became ludicrous. I flung my pen down and actually laughed. An editorial—the idea! It’s too hard. One must be so very black and white in it and to the point. In a story you can dodge in and out of pretty paragraphs and bits of description and wise sayings out of your common-place book, and fling words about of such vast significance, of such sumptuousness, such calls to the imagination, though, perhaps the meanings are a little darkly hidden; then stop on a sudden in a fine, free way, leaving an impression of all kinds of deep, mysterious things, and, perhaps, at last have the great school of Symbolism claim you for its own: But, I will not write a story this time. I will take a walk to collect my ideas again. I wonder, though, if I ever had more than one. The little paragraph, about as long as my thumb, gazed up at me, a sickly, pitiful face, out of a mightily befrilled cap and voluminous long clothes. I put on my hat and started out to think up something, lusty and clean-limbed, put in with pure colors like an impressionist’s picture. But it must not be a story. Out Maryland avenue three squares and the city is left behind. You step right into the woods. I made straight for those woods, holding myself down to think of nothing but an editorial. There was a heavy snow on the ground. The sun shone, the wind played about as gentle as a lamb and the air sparkled and was in fine temper. I felt at once of a piece with the afternoon, slipped my arm through it, and we went gaily along. There were damp rings about scattered lumps of snow on the pavements and the masses of snow on the square bits of lawn, spread out in front of the houses like pocket-handkerchiefs, was damp and heavy and now and then a little half frozen stream trickled down the pavement. But soon I left the pavements behind and took a narrow snow- trodden path close to a fence enclosing a fine old garden. A house was set curiously off in one corner of the garden. It was the last house in the city. The wood was its neighbor. The house and garden stood high above the street. The street had been cut down. There was a flight of steps up to the garden. The steps were old and weak and leaned to one side like a decrepit old man. I climbed them gingerly to get a view of the garden. There were splendid oak trees about the house. Trees, long- trunked and straight, that had grown up with the forest and looked unshaven and uncivilized beside the low branched civil- ized lindens, descendents of the old world. The house was low and flat and plastered white on the outside. Around one corner of the house the plastering had fallen off. You could see the laths. The porch in front leaned to one side like the steps. There were several out-houses and sheds, all leaning to one side. I did not see a single soul 109 about. The house was shut up as tight as if it had the lock-jaw,—that is as to its windows and doors; the walls looked nothing like so rigid. But somebody lived in the house, for there was smoke coming out of the chimney in a thin curl. A side door opened and a woman came out. Her face was as smooth and cold as the unbroken snow in her garden. There was a wooden bench under one of the oak trees. She walked down the narrow trodden path through the snow to it. So narrow was the path that there was not room for another step beside hers, and she looked, with her set face, as if she would walk in that narrow path to her grave. She sat down on the bench with her face to the wood, and sat so still, that presently a flock of sparrows flew down near her. They hopped around and scratched in the snow with ruffled feathers, and querulous, anxious little chirps. She jerked herself away from them sidewise, and muttered under her breath, “ Hoe your own row.” Near to the side she had turned, between her and the woods, was a little shed of a house, sitting flat on the ground. There was no fence around it. It looked as it had been flung there carelessly. It had a loose, shiftless look. I could see but one small window. Through a broken window pane was stuffed an old dress-waist, and the broken points of the paper that had been pasted over the hole, now fluttered when they caught the wind, with an affected gaity. The whole place looked as down at the heel as a be- draggled, homeless woman. The soft, still virginal wood, lovely in its gown of snow, seemed to turn its back squarely upon the house. The doors and windows faced the other way,—to the city and civilization. The door opened, and a woman came out. She was thin and bent and had a rag of a shawl around her shoulders. She held an empty coal bucket in her hand. There was a large hole in the bottom of the bucket, and a dirty old rag was stuffed in it. The handle was broken loose on one side, and she carried the bucket up against her side with one arm around it. She looked up at the woman sitting under the tree, hesi- tated a moment, then drew her shawl over her head and began to climb up the hill to her. She walked like an old woman. The woman under the tree sat rigid with her face to the woods. It was very still, no sound but the unsteady shuffle of the woman coming through the snow. The snow was already full of slipshod tracks. It looked as if it was not the first time she had climbed up to the woman under the tree. “ Good evenin’,” she said when she had reached the top of the hill. She caught her breath pant- ing. Her eyes were watery and red, her cheeks, fallen, and her mouth a blue sunken line. no Her hair hung nodding on her forhead a dry, stiff, over-grown bang that had served its turn and was now thrust back, but would come tilting forward. But it was not gray. I was surprised to see that she was not an old woman. She had an airy way about her standing on the brow of the hill. The blue veins showed a delicate tracery on her temples. She looked as if she might have once been young and pretty. The woman under the tree did not look at her. Good evenin', inarm, she said again, bridling and looking up sidewise into the others face, with a bland, insinuating smile. The woman on the seat turned upon her a cold stare and nodded her head. “ I thought, perhaps, you would lend me a bucket of coal, mine has give out. It's rather a hard job a wagon gettin’ up them ruts! and the smile grew a little weakly, and she waited. The woman on the seat waited too. But, I guess I’ll have to be gettin ’ some ter-morrow. If you could spare a bucketful ter day, she resumed, and began tucking her hair under her shawl, held tight across her forehead like a nun's band, and coughing little, short, husky coughs. The woman on the seat did not open her lips. I know I've been borrowin' of you right smart, and she waited, but no reply. “ But I’ve been that bad off these two days.” The woman on the seat turned her head slightly. What did you say, marm? and the other hitched up her face and smiled hard into the cold face turned slightly toward her. But no answer. The next few moments were filled up with the sputtering racking cough of the woman standing waiting. She set the coal bucket down and clasped her hand to her side. The loosened shawl fell back and her frowzy, unkept head shook on her neck, back and forth, as if she was nodding em- phatically. The blue, sunken lips were torn asunder, a heavy dampness gathered on her forehead. She wiped her face with the corner of her shawl and began to smile up into the other woman's face even before her tempest-tossed frame had quite regained itself. I kinder lost my breat' a-climbin' that hill. I do get the most awful fits of sneezin’ and cough- in', and specially when I don’t have my coffee of a mornin'. The woman on the seat shot at her a sudden, sharp look. Her lips unclosed, but shut up again with a snap, and she turned her face aside and said coldly: Hoe your own row, and pointed down the hill. Hoe your own row. Hoe my own row ? Hoe your own row. Reap what you sow.” Reap what I sow? and the woman standing seemed to shrink together and sink lower in her tracks. Her mouth fell slightly apart and the smile was lost. The other woman gazed steadily at her and snapped out: It’s always carin' For yourself. 11 “Always carin' for myself? “All the trouble and misery in the world comes from carin’ too much for yourself and for other people. A quiver crossed her face, like a film gathering on a dying coal, and passed away. “I don’t do either now. I sit like a stone off the road, and let the world go by. Hoe your own row. Reap what you sow.” “ Reap what I sow ?—Reap what you sow ! ’’ and the woman suddenly flung down her coal bucket and flung up her head. Two red spots came on her cheeks. A pulse beat in her temple, and she put her hand up to her throat. “Reap what you sow. You look about as down as I do. You look just about froze through. Reap what you sow. Freeze and starve, and die in your old sinking house. Who’ll know? Who’ll care? and she caught up her draggled skirt with one hand and grasped the broken handle of the bucket with the other, and started down the hill, the coal bucket clattering and hitting against her ankles at every step. Her sunken mouth curled up in a smile. The other woman shook herself as if to fling off something, and settled down on the seat with a face of stone. The woman clattering down the hill, got hardly half way, when she began to fall all to pieces. She caught the coal bucket up in her arm and stopped, looked back wistfully, and then began to creep back, bent together like a collapsed spring. But the woman on the seat turned her back squarely upon her, and did not wink an eyelash until the other had turned away again, and the shuffling, slapping step had died away and the door of the old house had slammed to; then she turned again with her face to the woods, as if she meant to sit there and stare into them forever. I caught myself up in the very act of thinking up a story. Pushed it away from me, and turned all my thoughts to an editorial on college life, and walked on down the road. It branched off into a lane. A short way down the lane was a bridge. Under the bridge ran a stream, trickling under its thin coat of ice. I stood some time watching the little wavelets dimpling and lapping around small stones and drifts of leaves and snow. It was a very gay little stream, and, somehow, I was glad it was not a still, deep pool, deep enough to drown one’s self in. I caught myself up again. There was a story, as bold as brass, reaching up to take my arm. I turned my back squarely upon it, bridled my thoughts and drove them along, sulking and balking, in the v ay of an editorial on college life. I crawled under a barbed wire fence and walked down over a vacant lot, and had another view of the desolate, old, white house and the white, desolate woman, sitting like a frozen image in her garden. But she had risen from her seat and was staring at the house below her. I crept on past her down the stream, and came to a large pond made by damming up the water. The pond was JI2 frozen over, and some young people were skating around in one corner of it. On the other side some men were fishing out great blocks of ice. They grappled them, struggling and sliding back, with hooks, and flung them over the dam. The broken, working, icy water made me think of the woman on the hill. I glanced up at her and saw her walking rapidly toward her door. Would her heart ever melt or break—I caught myself up again, leaning on my arm, as it were, having a regular confab with a story. I flung it behind me with a cuff on its ears, and set my mind to thinking of the proper thing. I walked around the pond and watched the skaters, and slided a little myselt in one corner and wished I had brought my skates, and quite forgot to be thinking up anything, until my eyes fell on the chimney of the house on the hill. A hurrying, crowding volume of smoke was coming out of it. The fire had evidently been well stirred up and replenished. The shutters of one of the windows were flung back. The low western sun shone on the window,-it looked ablaze. The woman came out of the door with a pan of potato peelings and egg shells in her hand, and put them in the box by the back gate. Presently I am sure I heard a coffee-mill grinding, and then I smelt bacon and eggs (that is I thought I did). Well, what is up now, I wondered, and walked along up the stream, gazing intently at the house, my thoughts running riot. A hill was before me. I had not noticed it before. Suddenly, like a bewildering vision, something came rushing down the hill two cows. With heads down they came straight at me. The fence was not between us. Safety lay over it. I had a lightning flash of the “Gym” rope raised to the last notch. I caught up my skirts. I had a short run, but I made it. I was over the fence, on the other side, in the middle of the stream. The water was not over my ankles, but I thought I had sunk to the bottom of the ocean, and stood there whimpering, the cows on the other side regarding me softly and benevolently, and a small boy standing a piece up the hill gapping at me with astonishment and admiration on his face. “Well you air a jumper. I never saw that beat. Was you scared? I'll drive the cows way if you want to jump back,” and he flourished a stick at the cows and kept his eyes on me. “You little rascal, didn’t you see me coming? How dare you drive cows right at people.” “I wasn’t er thinkin’ o' drivin' them at you. They were just a-comin' down the hill.” But I turned my back upon him and waded out of the water, catching sight at the same time of an ugly rent in my frock. “Oh dear! Oh darn it! ” I caught myself up and looked over my shoulder. But that was not last of it, I darned it openly a whole half hour the next Saturday afternoon. “ They wouldn't have hurt you,” said the boy coming down to the fence. “ They wouldn't hurt er fle2.” “ They might have hooked me to death.” “ No they wouldn’ter. But my! didn't you jump. I guess you 'ave to be most scared out of your senses to 'ave done it.” Then with an awed voice, looking at my college cap which I had just picked up out of the water, “ What do yer belong too? The circus ?” “ Yes, a kind of circus. Please hold up this wire of the fence while I crawl under,” I said severely, “ and don’t let those jagged points tear my jacket in the back.” “ Yes ’em.” He held the wire of the fence high and watched me expectantly. I felt his admiring eyes on my back all the way up the hill, which I climbed with swiching skirts and heavy, soggy boots and the crushing sense that I had been thinking about the wrong thing again. Presently my spirits went up. I had struck something for an editorial — The practical benefits of the gymnasium. I tucked it away in my mind, and hurried across the bridge out into the street again. As I passed close to the little old house, the door opened and the two women came out, and I heard the woman of the other house say : “ I’ve made up my fire and made a cup of coffee, and I guess you would like to have some of it. I’ve fixed a bed and you can stay all night.” The other woman tucked the tilting bang under the shawl held tight over her head, twisted her face around and smiled a sweet, weak smile. They went up the hill together, the woman from the other house leading the way, walking rapidly and stiffly, the other lagging behind panting. “ I dont’t know as I can walk so fast,” she said, “but you go right on.” But the other did not, but stopped, looked down upon the poor forlorn figure below her, then stepped back and put her arm under the old shawl and walked slowly beside her. “ Don’t hurry. It’s hard walking in the snow. I shoved the coffee-pot back on the stove, it won’t boil over,” and presently she added abruptly, “ I’ve been goin' the wrong way. I’ve turned about again. You take right hold of my arm.” The other lifted her face with a dawning look of rest upon it, a divine rest that comes from lean- ing upon a stronger will than your own, and she smiled a gentle, weak smile without any under- standing in it. But trust and protection were bringing them close together, closer, perhaps, than mutual understanding. A higher congeniality—I caught myself up in the act of moralizing on the wrong subject. But the sun was going down and the wind was coming up, and I had to walk home so fast to keep from taking cold after my plunge, that I could not think of the editorial. And two days afterwards I gave it up, and sat in an after-sulk, not seeing farther than my nose, when the happy little story crept up to me and lifted its whimsical, I-told-you-so physiognomy, and I patted its cheek and took to it again, but I had a pinch in the fingers of one hand and had “got a yellow face wi’ doin' things as disagreed.” i A Baltimorf Idyl Have you ever sat at evening in the center of your room.

I This letter was sent as a greeting by the editors of the ninety-five “HULLABALOO” to the editors of “ DONNYBROOK FAIR.” whose response is published in the HULLABALOO. | To the Honorable Editors of the “Donnybrook Fair:”—Greeting and Benediction. May your subscribers be many and your critics few. T has come to the ears of the editors of the “'95 Hullaboloo,” that a year book is about to be published by the Junior Class of the Woman's College, and that you have been chosen to carry out that colossal work. What hidden meanings lurk in the innocent title, '‘Donnybrook Fair,” we ask not—time will reveal them. We congratulate you that you have had no predecessor, that you may move along your own lines hampered by no traditions and subject to no odious com- parisons. We have no desire to dash your young hopes by hinting the difficul- likely to beset your path. Not all the warnings we might give would prove sufficient ••Where is the man who has the power and skill To stem the torrent of a woman's will? For if she will, she will, you may depend on't. And if she won't, she won't, and there's an end on't. ties that are to deter you Doubtless the meetings of the Editors of ‘‘Donnybrook Fair” are held in silence, and the work is despatched with business-like promptness. It is not so with the Editors of the “95 Hullabaloo.” These many months have they held weekly gatherings,where scores of pipes were smoked in friendly converse, oftentimes the cheering cup passed round, and even the prosaic sandwich was called in to furnish a basis for weighty deliberations- but the muse is not to be wooed by such means. Far into the night were the sessions prolonged. The agonized cry would go up, “What rhymes with Terms?” and prompt the answer, “Worms.” About three A. M. the board adjourned with aching heads and a vague sense of nothing accomplished. Of these throes the public should know nothing, but you who are yourselves editors, may penetrate the mysteries of the sanctum. The tortures of revising manuscript contributions! Had Mr. Pope been a class editor he could never have written ••The whole world agrees That he writes well who writes with ease. We exhausted all the treatises on versification in every known language in the vain attempt to discover the metrical scheme on which some of the poems were developed. Some contributors actually wrote on two sides of a sheet! and when press day came, and “all copy must positively be in by twelve noon,” what frantic haste was seen! All the regular exercises of the university were suspended and professors, students and janitors, united in a grand effort to “come to time.” As to the result we plead the modesty characteristic of editors. You may be assured, esteemed contemporaries, of a most cordial reception on our part of your debutante, “Donnybrook Fair.” She shall be in every dance, and never have to look twice for a partner. We beg to subscribe ourselves, yours in the noble cause of journalism, Editors of “95 HULLABALOO,” Johns Hopkins University. re ME AORY DEAR • A Rare Treat.

The Faculty Gymnasium Class. all the pleasures of the past college years, perhaps to none do there cling such fond recollections as to the Faculty Gymnasium Class. While a thing of the past, it will ever remain dear to the memory of those enrolled among its sacred number a privilege shared by a few of the wise and learned. Mystery surrounds this subject. No scientific researches can throw any light on it; and, were it not for kindly chance, the outside world would be forever ignorant of all pertaining to this class. It arose, it lived, it died. What else can be revealed to posterity. To the curious, however, we will give one glimpse of a scene, familiar but to a few. It is night. Darkness, save for a few dim lights, broods over the vast and silent gymnasium. A few strangely arrayed figures hover here and there, somewhat resembling the Brownies on one of their famous midnight excur- sions. But, what marvelous feats are here accomplished! The formidable equine figure in one corner is boldly surmounted by one, who, through frequent read- ing thereof, knows full well how danger lurks in the wooden horse. We see a slender, athletic figure grappling with an unfriendly dangling rope. Alas! unless Remsen come to the rescue, no experiment in the whole field of chemistry will avail here. Let us examine into the mystery of that gyrating figure in a perfect whirl of “ Left about! right about!” On his face is written, “victory at last gained ' Follow the gaze of those innocent blue orbs attached to his ulterior appendages, and the secret is revealed. That writing is strangely familiar; now it is in chalk, not red ink. But, little is known to us of the triumphs here achieved. The world must be forever deprived of this knowledge. The days of this marvelous class are over. Our regret is deep as we consider its sad end, dying in the very glow of youth and beauty. Peace to its ashes. 21 Clams and Cream. Whan that the Juniors give a swete banquet, The Seniors goon not for to seek a pang yet; And yet a pang, they win, yea everichon, So that they wishe that they had not goon.

They slepen al the nicht with open ye, And all the nicht but clams and cream they The Juniors waren as meek as is a mayde, But Seniors from the feste all but died-ah.

Looking at a coat of mail he instantly imagined the society, the conditions that produced it, and what it in turned produced. He saw the castle, the moat, the drawbridge, the lady of the tower, and the knightly lover spurring across the plain. Conceive of Shakespeare stepping in for a moment to-day at one of our characteristic social gatherings, a reception for instance, and undertaking to describe our social life from that point of view. What would impress the poet more than anything else after he had become somewhat adjusted to his surroundings? Would it not be the artificiality of our smiles? And yet how dear to our hearts these social gatherings are. The month cannot roll by swift enough to bring us the coveted Friday evening again. With what utmost care will the dress be selected, after how much thought and deliberation will different remarks be chosen which may serve properly in this situation or that! What endless delight is there in running over during the silent midnight watches, all sorts of circumstances in which you and your guest are going to be placed, circumstances funny, grave, and often touching. With what consummate grace you find yourself getting out of every difficulty, while your guest stands behind covered with confusion! What animated dialogues you hold with yourself, in which your remarks are always the brightest, wittiest and most irresistible! How you will throw back your head and laugh when receptions are mentioned, and say with a nonchalant air, you find them very stupid and care little for men, but still since it is your duty you will deign to go. Soon your ideal fancies are lost in the reality. You find yourself in a crowded hall where the hum of many voices makes your treasured thoughts take wing. 1 3 You feel around for some of those brilliant remarks, long for an opportunity to get in one of those cherished situations for which you are so well prepared, but alas! All is changed and nothing is left but your smile pure and simple. How much it is used, and how tired it gets, until very weariness possesses your whole frame. By the time you have reached the end of the reception committee it is fairly radiant, and from that time on is used sans intermission. In your gaiety you almost cease to be gay, until at last you wend your way homeward and can let the last faint ray of that smile fade away as the “ Good-night ” is said, and the bolt creaks on its hinges. i?4 The Protest oe the Palms We beg of all compassionate To list our wail.

Prof. M., (appearing half-an-hour late.) “Gentlemen, I owe you an apology for my tardiness. But er hem,—I feel sure you will er hem-hem you will hem sympathize with me and- er-excuse me when I explain that I am almost er a crazy man. The fact is, I have not slept for nights, except to be the victim of the most horrible nightmares.” The Dean: “Why, Prof. M. what do you mean by such behavior? You are too young to give way to such things; you should not know what nerves are.” Prof. B.: “ Not sleep ? That's an ill preparation for your ardous duties in a young ladies’ college. You should have sleep, — • Sleep that knits up the ravcllM sleeve of care. The death of each days life, sore labour's bath. Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course. Chief nourisher in life's feast.' Prof. M.: “ Indeed, gentlemen, your remarks are very pertinent, but hear me through.” Prof. T.: “ By all means! Let us be fair and ‘just’ and hear both sides before we give the verdict.” Prof. M.: “ Woe is me! How can I endure another day of torture and nights so full of terrible phantoms. I am honest when I tell you that since Saturday night, February the twenty-third, eighteen- hundred and ninety-three, I have not closed my eyes without seeing policemen, policemen of every size and description at my heels, scrutinizing every movement. In my ear I hear that agonized shriek, , Oh ! Mr. M., run, run, the policeman will get you.’ ” Dr. H.: “Oh, William, my boy, brace up! You've taken too much Malt, by far.” Dr. M. B.: “Ha-ha—you would think—ha-ha that one constantly dealing with the buony fish, and reptiles, besides birds of all description ha-ha would never be troubled by ghostly visit- ants—ha-ha-ha. But indeed—-ha-ha—I find myself very subject to them—ha-ha. It isn’t a police- man exactly that troubles me - ha-ha—; and yet, I don't know—ha-ha—it might be about of the •3� same nature—ha-ha , might be classified together, as it were. Policemen and quizzes seem to be —er—equally objectionable characters— ha-ha , at least you would imagine so—ha-ha—from some of the students' remarks. And I believe that they are supposed sometimes to try to escape from both in much the same way,—ha—at least my dream would—er—lead one to think so. And, indeed, I'm sure it was very funny the way they sat and talked, not listening at all, I assure you, but I sup- pose I shall be thought dreadful —ha-ha-ha—if I assign such qualities to Juniors. They belong only to Freshmen - ha-ha. Isn't it so, Dr. V. M.? Prof. G. E. B.: Well, I have not looked up the matter; I am not acquainted with all the details, but I should think this would have a very 'immoralizing' effect upon you and indirectly upon your classes. I find that I suffer more from very realistic day dreams. For I must say that to devote an hour to dragging a lesson out of a class wholly engaged with other things is very depressing, to say the least. Dr. S.: Which? Now then, excepting an uncertain feeling as regards the 1st of April, I have no experiences to give.” The Dean : The question in my mind is, is this meeting for the purpose of transacting business or are you furnishing ghostly problems to the Psychological department. Pres. G.: Yes! either would be very refreshing. My own dreams present the most pleasing images, ‘a suite of rooms in one of the Homes, with two sweets in each room.' 'Applause.) But, Prof. H., we have not heard from you. I hope I find you well ? Prof. H.: He-he, mine like yours Pres. G., though I am inclined to think, not so pleasant, deal with Household Hints' he-he. Visions of my dear native State come before me, as a map hung upon the wall and draped with bunting, rubber-tired wheels, intertwined with yards upon yards of picture wire, fill all space. Prof. F.: Excuse me, perhaps I haf made a meestake, but if there is no other business to come before this meeting, I think I will retire ? etc., etc.” The Dean : I see the time has expired and it will be necessary to call another meeting to-morrow at three, when, I trust, we shall be able to proceed with the business from a different point of view.

THE SPECIAL HEN she first comes she is a firm believer in the doctrine 44 This one thing I do. As she sees the hurrying school-girls worrying themselves into their courses 44 with many a conflict, many a doubt, she smiles a self-satisfied, superior smile, and goes to her two ten-hour courses in old German and Anglo-Saxon 44 like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. She sees many things that arouse her interest, and, as she begins to learn the ways of the W. C. B., discovers that this girl, surrounded by affectionate, embracing friends, who enquire anxiously about her health, wealth and happiness, is not as she had supposed—the most popular girl in school, just returned from the brink of the grave —but only a common mortal like herself, being rushed for a frat. :: 44 Who are these in bright array ? she asks, as she sees white-robed figures promenading slowly up and down the long halls of a home at 10.30 p. m. From their like attire and inseparability one might imagine them twins, but there are too many of them. Finally they depart with lingering embraces, many kisses and mes- sages for the absent loved ones. Are they all going on journeys? No, they are the pledglings to the frats, saving 44 goodnight. Gradually all these points become straightened out in her mind, and as she thinks, poor simple Special, that she may be called upon to make a choice, begins to make inquiries concerning the dis- tinctive characteristics of the different societies. She first asks a Sophomore, one of those indispen- sable people who are always supplied with the necessary information on any subject •• Well! one talks shop,— Another's well; Another's rated somewhat slow : The other’s ways I’ll never tell For I’m jiggered if I know ! ” answers the poetic muse of the omniscient Sophomore. One evening on a highly hilarious occasion (called in the catalogue 44a reception ), the Special spies a pleasant looking girl standing like the sparrow lonely on the housetop, so she attempts to engage her in some of the social intercourse of which she has heard such charming accounts. But an indifferent expression on her companion’s face and uninterested answers in monosyllables check '34 somewhat the Special's conversational ardor; and she goes on her way rejoicing as they are joined by another girl, who is evidently a member of the same fraternity as the first. As she sits in a cosy corner near by she catches a few observations to the effect that the psychology lesson for the next day has not been studied, and that the Trig. exam, was the worst ever experienced, also that the Chem. Lab. is a most inveterate time consumer. She propounds a problem to herself. Given two girls with an environment of constant work and worry, and an hour or two for recreation, one might think the result would be at least an attempt at cheerful conversation and relaxation. Wrong! They take great pains to prove the somewhat axomatic proposition that they are over-worked and have no time for enjoyment of any kind. “Yea, verily, quoth the Special, “inscrutable are the ways of sphynxes and students! Before she has followed out any further her application of the Sophomore’s characterization, she finds out that these joys are not for her and settles down to single blessedness (?) on Saturday nights, occupying herself solely with “sedentary amusements. Are there no non-fraternity entertainments for her “hours of ease?” There seem to be jollifications galore. Goucher Hall is transformed into cosy drawing rooms; and in the rosy light, to the tune of soft mandolins, eayly chattering girls pace to and fro under the palms. The Seniors receive the Freshmen, in which pleasant task they are delightfully assisted by the “assiduous attentions of the Sophomores. Nay, even these interchange amenties with their sworn enemies of the year gone by, and shake hands across the bloody chasm with the Juniors. But the Special—where is she? At home doubtless, enjoying the exciting diversion of darning her stockings. At the first blush on an oft recurring feature in college physiognomy, the Special fervently quotes the proverb about “an ill wind, etc., and congratulates herself that she shall taste the bliss of being abandoned now, if never before. A collection is on foot;—nay! on so many feet that one might easily imagine it a member of the centipede family. The Special was never proud of her ability as a mathematician, but now it seems that her one achievement in that line is untrustworthy. Two and two do not make four, after all; and, because she is overlooked in all the pleasures of college life, it does not follow that she is to enjoy the same immunity as to contributions. Not only must she not dance, but she must not fail to pay the piper. On College Day the Special dons her seldom-aired cap and gown, and goes to the meeting place with a touch of her old enthusiasm, as she anticipates a sort of miniature 4th of July, when divisions and prejudices are swallowed up in patriotism. She sees a long line of black-robed moving figures. In serried ranks they stand. Of classes a noble band ; From mouths emitting. Yells ear-splitting. With these she cannot stand. «35 She does not know class yells, cannot sing class songs, and the honor of her presence is desired nowhere, as far as she is able to discover. After hovering about for some time, in a way that reminds her painfully of those uncertain souls in the Inferno, whose abiding place was so uncomfortably nil, she goes home a sadder but a wiser special, singing in tones— not loud, but deep- -a class song which she nas composed for her own benefit: Oh ! where shall rest be found. Rest for the weary sole ; The Special's woes I've run in the ground But the half has never been tolc. The Plaint of the Gown. Wherever you may go Throughout our College gray. In Chapel or in “ Lab, All through the weary day, Where’er you go, upstairs or down, 'Tis still the same, the Plaint of the Gown. Rip, rip. rip, As you're tipping up the stair. Or rip, rip, rip. As your're rushing by a chair. Eat, eat, cat. When acids drop in “Chem.” Or eat, eat, eat, In Labratory grim. This sad lament you’ll hear. Which echoes and re-echoes To every list’ning car. Where'er you go, upstairs or down, Tis still the same, the Plaint of the Gown. 36 THE FRESHMEN. GROAN reaches me from the college walk which as it louder grows I find framed in the phrasing of the old adage, “a place for everything and everything in its place, and, O! for a place for the Freshmen. Here there and everywhere we find them; the awful awareness of their presence creeps o'er us aroused from some deep cogitation on the evolution of man, and when our eyes meet a com- posite of rushing feet, flying hair, waving gown, bun packages tightly clasped, wild gesticulations, a leap and two steps at one bound, together with the inevitable giggle and “Orumesque vocalization, we feel impelled to pat dear Darwin on the head and say, “too true, too true, our inherent monkey traits will out. Even the Dean has found it incumbent to divide the college into Freshmen and non-Freshmen—perhaps following the psycho- logical line of thought he realizes this awful “presentativeness of the Freshmen, and hopes that time will bring about such modification that the qualities which will make him aware of their “represen- tativeness as college women will be developed. “Rule and Order would be a good class motto for '98. According to present indications, how- ever, I fear the liability of their adoption of the following few rules: RULE A—DRESS. 1. Freshmen should have their dresses fully two feet above the bottom of their college gowns. 2. Hats should be kept in place by aid of an elastic band, the band to be worn under the chin. 3. Our draperies shall be yellow and white on festal days. RULE B-HEALTH. I. Although “cuts fester and hurt at time of “exams., as a rule “cuts from chapel, “gym., and recitations should be frequent as promotive of health—the time being employed to strengthen the lung powers. � 37 RULE C—ETIQUETTE. 1. Personal remarks are strictly in order. 2. Freshmen should take precedence of upper classmen in coming and going, especially in dis- missal from chapel. 3. Freshness in “gym.” exercises is a salient point in deportment. The Freshmen have even entered the fields of economics and maintain that “strikes are justifi- able.” Ii may be well to call to their mind that the verdict of the College Debating Club was in the negative. We sympathize with our Freshmen in their trampings over the paths of knowledge planned under the College’s supervision, but we would that they were able to make the distinction between loud noisy tramping and light footing it. We too have experienced how once in the field of knowledge so trippingly entered, the unseen obstacles arise to impede us, the little twigs catch us, and our way is oft time shadowed, but we keep our murmurs of impatience and trouble in an undertone and growl not in minor key. Consider after all dear “Freshies,” that these are only tests of our powers and soon one’s way grows easier and brighter and as we pass along we find ourselves nodding reverently and approvingly at the Senior who thus speaks: Where 1 am Soon you may be, Prepare to work And follow me.” The Shadow of Doom. Stately and fair is our young Alma Mater. Fraught with rich promise for years yet to be. Loyal devotion we promise for ever. Proud to proclaim that her daughters are we Quietly, quickly, with surest foundations. Raised as by Merlin's magical hand. Come forth her towers and corridors stately. Wonder and pride to be all through our land. Young, yet deep-versed in the lore of the ages. Strong, as the youthful alone can be strong. Glories of dreamland are resting upon her, All possibilities close round her throng. Yet a strange fatcfulncss hov'rcth about her. Darkly, relentlessly working her doom. Ignorent whence or for what cause it comcth. We feel the weird shadow of myst'ry and gloom. Thrice hath she sent forth these bands of her maidens. Such as were worthy to gain high degree. Proudly confessing their deeds and their merits. Stamping them joyfully with her A. B. But if ye mark well her groups of alumnae Sec ye a like fate pursuing each one— Marriage, their best goal, if true speak the poets. Marriage they strangely, persistently shun. Never a vow Alma Mater requireth. Ne’er even said it were best not to wed ; But over all who consign themselves to her Worketh an influence blighting and dread. Yet arc her Freshmen as all other Freshmen. . Innocent, wond'ring with wide-open eyes. Sophomores hath she. so wise and so foolish. No shadow ken they that over them lies. Juniors there are, weighted down with their burdens. Seniors, of gravity, dignity great. Working how zealously, yet they arc dreaming. Blissfully ignorant, heedless of fate. On through their dreams comcth vision inspiring. Last solemn scene of the long student life ; Centre will they be of all that great pageant. Yet in their souls joy and sadness at strife. Each one in turn ascendcth that platform. Led by the Dean doth she slowly draw near Him who. in state, representing our College. Solemnly waiteth each record to hear. Then saith the Dean, his voice low with emotion. Just as a man would his own child command. • Duly examined and faultless, this student. Finished, her course, from beginning to end.' Oh! foolish lasses! Such dreams and such fancies ! Think ye that hour'll be your happiest one ? Have ye e'er heard of the zeal of the novice ? Know that regret findeth black veil nun ! Think, ere too late, what the spectacle mcancth. She who doth once in its solemn rites share Never may enter the confines of marriage ! Rightly all sable's the garb that ye wear! Shall then for ever this doom blight our College ? Worlds look askance and of sad ruin tell? No. surely no ! the fates can be averted ? Who'll find the mystery, who'll break the spell ? •39 • AS RUMOR HAS IT ■••• HERE was an air of graceful determination on his face as he entered the recep- tion room and asked for the president of the Senior Class. The president came, looking in a puzzled manner at his card, Mr. A. M. Verity,” and in the corner, “Baltimore Samaritan.” “I have been detailed for the-er pleasant duty of making investigation as to the truthfulness of the reports in circulation about the customs of the young ladies here. May I ask you—” He took out his tablet and pencil. ‘T have heard that the young ladies of the home have a place on each floor called Social Hall, where they gather after dinner to enjoy a cigarette.” “No smoking is allowed outside of the Fraternity rooms,” said the senior seriously. He made a note of her words. “ It is said that the young ladies play cards under the restrictions of a ten-cent ante and a five dollar limit ? ” “ We never exceed that amount.” “ As to the theatre- ? ” 44 We were not allowed to go to see 44 The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.” He looked surprised and remarked, 441 had understood otherwise.” Halfway to her room her chum met her with an excited air. 441 saw you in the reception room with a man,” she said,44 with a man. Who on earth was he, and how in the world did he get in ? ” 44 He was a reporter, and he probably poisoned the door-keeper,” said the senior grimly. They returned to their room and the senior sat down at the study-table with a despondent air. Her chum turned from the mirror, before which she was adjusting her hat, to ask : 44Are n’t you going with us ? Remember, it is “Nordica in Stabat Mater,” and it may be your last chance. There’s a rumor that the Board will not let us go to any more oratorios, on account of their dramatic tendency.” 441 know,” replied the senior, wearily, 44 but I can’t go. I have to write an article for the 44 Kalends,” supporting the decision of the Board, that it is immoral for the girls to dance together in the parlor for an hour after dinner.” A Riddle. I air. in College every day. I'm not a Freshman nor a Soph, I don't expect to graduate; And what is more, I'm not a Prof. 1 am not in the Senior class. Too old to be with Juniors gay. Sometimes I'm on a chair or shelf; Now tell me then, what am I, pray ? { A Might and Its Results. Hallow e'en, year ninety-four, College day just now o'er; Hour late, ghosts about, Softest whispers, no loud shout. Many maidens tall and fair, Creeping slowly up the stair. Crackers, cheese, a corner-room, White-robed figures, one pale moon. A race, a slam, a rope, a crash; Slippers, shoes, pitcher, smash. A door and bang, six girls, one bed, Early morning, aching head.

Pleasant memories, lots of fun, Girls all pardoned, glad 'tis done. DISPATCH RECEIVED IN BALTIMORE, MARCH 4th, 1895. 44 Sighted off the coast of Nervous Prostration the steamer ‘Donnybrook Fair’ having on board a crew of nine and a large number of passengers. The currents of Disappointment and Despair were so heavy that it was impossible for the life-boats to reach the disabled vessel. The following information was received by means of the improved method of signaling: 44 4 The crew consists of Captain Knowdy, First-Mate Morefierce, Second-Mate Bendknee, Third- Mate Firstman, Purser Son o’ Mun, Physician Johns, Cook Homelooker and Assistants Roman and Swetham. 44 Captain Knowdy is doing all in his power to keep up the spirits of his men, who are very much discouraged. First-Mate Moorefierce has in his possession a collection of valuable maps of the coun- tries through which he has traveled. Second-Mate Bendknee, whose spirits at the beginning of the voyage were mast high, is now the most despondent of all. Third-Mate Firstman is employing his spare time in compiling a book describing the Masonic societies of the unknown countries he dis- covered. Purser Son o’ Mun has collected a history of the states he visited while the ship was in port. Physician Johns has been kept very busy during the voyage, having performed a number of serious operations. As provisions are scarce, Cook Homelooker and Assistants Roman and Swetham are doing their best to catch enough fish and crabs to supply the table.” Note.—As the new method of signaling has not yet been completed, it is probable that the names of the crew have been distorted into the strange forms they now present. M3 Hurdy- Men and women, girls and boys, Each has his own cares and joys. But no man his neighbor knows, Each his own short journey goes. CHORUS—Ta ra ra ra boom, te a. These the thoughts of poor Brachinc As he grinds his old machine. Looking at the window there For a penny cast in air. Comes a pretty maiden by.

The Faculty At Woman’s College one fine day. The Faculty agreed That, just to pass the time away, They'd have a jolly feed. The English Butler and French Shef Were given charge of all, With the request they should not make Expenses very tall. A small cart drawn by the Chem. Ass. Was sent to bring the feed. Although a Van were Meter far To carry it, indeed. Said the Profs, of Sociology. Whose hearts were rather sore. •• We’ll have no T, we will have naught The girls so much adore.” Said the Latin Prof., a temperance man Naught will we have to drink But water from the Sparkling Welles, That's H O. I think. “ Yes, answered Prof, of Chemistry ; •• And I'll give for the feed Malt, for you will find That, later on, you'll need.” Then said the Math. Prof., with a sigh, “'Tis borne upon my mind, We’ll have no Bliss without some r, Can one of you t find? Cried Gym., • Without some Welsh rare bit No feast is e'er complete, And let us also have a Brown And juicy bit of meat! 147 • Cutlet's are furnished by the girls. Stakes by the Archery Club.” Replied the Shef. “ N'estce pas que e'est. Tr£s beastly jolly grub ? “ Now must we kill the fatted calf. So toll his funeral knell. Since we have none, I really think, Mc(a)tcalf will do as well.” “ Oh ! oh ! ” he cried, “ Let me abide. And I will give to you 'Possum and oysters, clams and frogs. And lobsters bright of hue; And pickles done in alcohol. And all of my preserves, And all of my menagerie, Which oft for sausage serves! ” Then said the Butler, grim(m) no more. “ If you give all that to eat. Not on but at the table you Will surely find a seat. They piled on Logs till all did look So cosy and so trig; They piled them mathematically In that fire-place so big. They hid the Lathes with Bunting gay. Till what seemed once a barn. Resembled more, they all did say, A gorgeous Turkish Kahn. Then at the feast they placed themselves. This Faculty so gay. And agreed that they were Frohlieher Than they'd been for many a day. •ROAD BUILDING ... OLLOWING the illustrious example of Ruskin and his sociology students who, in order to arrive at a proper appreciation of the dignity of labor, worked for several months upon the high-roads near .Cambridge, Mr. Boynton and the first sociology class have, ever since the last of September, been engaged in studying and repairing the high-road between the township of Ely and Stuart's Mills. The plan has been to study thoroughly the topography of the road and to read- just and where it seemed necessary, to renew the theories with which the road has, from time immemorial, been ballasted. The examination and adjustment of these theories have given rise to many discussions as to their nature and virtues. The clear weather has kept the road fine and dry and the class has never been inconvenienced in its labors by any excess of moisture. The methods of the students have been interesting and individual; one for instance will, when her attention is directed to a given point, detach the fragment in question, carefully study the upper sur- face and comment upon the facts observed, then she will turn the theory over and devote an equally earnest attention to the opposite surface. This method of work has, unfortunately, led her more than once to rashly purpose to reject entirely some valuable bit of theory as not fit to form part of a good road, and to substitute for it a piece of the flint of common sense which abounds at no great distance from the road. There is another student who, when laboring upon any part of the road bed, walks 'round and 'round it discoursing most eloquently, but never offering to touch the point in question. This method seems more successful than the former. Yet another student considerably accellerates the progress of the work by propounding, apropos of—say the margin of cultivation, questions like the following: ‘‘Well, is it possible that in the near future we may not need some- thing to eat? «48 We have in our number a good Samaritan, of Latin extraction who prefers the dark side of more than one question of the day. Another exhibits a tendency to delve for Greek roots and verses among the hard stones of the highway, and one of our most unworldly ones has exercised herself greatly about ‘‘wealth. One young lady has developed an alarming and unaccountable interest in that class of the foreign nobility familiarly known as “Jukes. A pronounced case of reminiscent deafness has been developed, which has prevented the sufferer from hearing the directions of the instructor after they have been given if said instructions are difficult of execution. The students have from time to time been startled and interrupted by the rumblings and oracular mutterings of a semi-somnolent volcano in the neighborhood. This does not occur often, although recently there has been quite a decided eruption, but the class is becoming so familiarized with these phenomena that terror has entirely given place to surprise and amusement, and often the class longs for a volcanic disturbance, to lend that variety, which is the spice of life, to its labors. The class has been cheered in its efforts at progress along this road by the bicycle tracks left by the Second Sociology Class, but there has been some difficulty in accounting for the abundance, along the wayside, of bits of wire, lost hats, and maps of Massachusetts, and it is whispered sub-rosa that we may expect to see at the end of our journey a triumphal arch decorated with bunting. With this happy argument, we turn to our work with new zeal. � 49 Here's a College ruled by bells— Noisy bells. What a world of worriment the sound thereof foretells. As they dangle, dangle, clanHe, When the seventh hour rolls round, And all dreams and sleep they mangle, And wild thoughts of cares in tangle Are inspired at the sound. Then in time, time, time. In a sort of fiendish rhyme, Comes the call to beef-steak breakfast, That so punctually wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells, From the jangling and the wrangling of the bells. Here are mellow, blessing bells— Peaceful bells. What a world of prayers on schedule-time their ring foretells; When laughter pierces loud the air, How they ring out in despair To forbid the conversation Blithe and gay; 50 While is heard all information Of the concerts, of the lectures, of the laundry visitation For that day. Then to the College hall— What a train of maidens fair flock over—one and all! How they hurry, How they scurry Up the stairway straight and tall, Hastening onward to the call Of the twanging and the clanging Of the bells, bells, bells. Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells, To the clanging and the banging of the bells. Here are warning chapel bells, Ancient bells! What a chain of past events their harsh resounding tells; With historic twang and power They're reminders of the hour To the Freshmen, slow and late, Hurrying in with “hustling” gait, As they hear Their wild clamoring and clashing sounding louder, shriller, higher. The one relic of the timbers and the embers of the fire. Oh, the bells, bells, bells. What a tale their clamor tells Of remorse. How their clangings all resound As the study-hour rolls round! Then a peacefulness and quiet reign supreme. But the bells! on all the halls, By their twangings, And their clangings, '5 Announce the time for calls, And the heart distinctly tells In the swinging And the ringing, Whether ‘‘stick” or “bores” or “swells,” In the parlors now are waiting, very restless, for the belles. Oh! the bells! Oh, the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells, Oh, the ringing and the jingling of the bells. Then in slow and measured time. In a most discordant rhyme Come the preparation bells. Ten more minutes this foretells 'Fore the tired and sleepy bells, Keeping time, time, time, As its knells, knells, knells, In a slow, irregular rhyme, Sound alone of all the bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, Of the drowsy, nodding bells, Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells, Now the slumbering and the dreaming weary bells. •52 RUFFLED | He. on the sunny side of the street. | Now I wonder does she know That I pass here every day, Just to look up at her window. Though its miles out of the way. Just to see those ruffled curtains Hanging snowy, smooth and trim. How I wonder does coquetry Hide behind those folds so prim! Does ah me!—does she remember How she met “that silly man,” Who begged for so many dances, Stole the ribbon from her fan. CURTAINS. | She behind the curtains. | Does he know which is my window— That I see him every day? Now I wonder how it happens That he always comes this way. Surely it is not the nearest. Does he, could he ever guess That I watch, or has he ever Caught the least glimpse of my dress? Ruffled curtains tell no secrets. Sheer and dainty though they seem. Did he really steal that ribbon, Or was that dance just a dream? «53 . . . MY POLLY i Now Poe may sing of fair Lenore, And Burns of Highland Mary; Each poet sings a diPrent name, In cadence light and airy. II Begone such themes! Laugh at them And scoff at all their folly, For where is there another girl That’s half so sweet as Polly ? III She’s tall and stately—though her eyes With laughter oft brim over, Her cheeks are like the rose “La France,” Her lips like reddest clover. IV I cannot write another word, I’ve grown quite melancholy, For fear that you perchance will meet And captivate my Polly. SIDE COMBS I met a pretty maiden All disconsolate, Down her head was drooping. Very slow her gait. Pray thee pretty maiden, Why this weight of woe ? Prithee, prithee, tell me What has vexed you so. Has your heart gone wandering. Which way did it stray ? Will you not permit me To serve you if I may ? Then she answered sighing, With a little smile, If you could but find it 'Twould be worth your while. Where could I have lost it, One must wear a part; If you will find my side comb You may have my heart. ‘55 A Song of Indian Summer. Oh, the sun hangs in the mist-wreaths, like a fiery globe of gold. And a little breeze comes blowing from the faded morning star. There's a drift of frost on everything, the grass is turning old. And the waning moon is hanging in the opal sky afar; There's a sparrow chirping in the hedge, a tiny sleepy note. There's the sound of whispering water in a brooklet close at hand There's the low of waking cattle as the airs of morning float. And it's Indian Summer down in Maryland. Oh, the earth's aglow with sunlight and the air is warm with noon. And the white chrysanthemums their heads arc drooping with a sigh, A few brown leaves are falling and the wind soft songs doth croon. The last pink rosebud's fragrance, faintly sweet, comes drifting by. The Kildec cries o’er barren fields, the sky is lilac gold, Toward the south the blackbirds fly, a noisy, chattering band, The fleecy clouds to west and cast o'er hill and valley fold, And it's Indian Summer down in Maryland. Oh. the stars arc white and glittering in the darkness of the night. And the winds are moaning gently through the barc-branchcd maple tree. Over there on the horizon there's a radiance soft and bright, Which says the moon is rising o'er the earth all silently. There's the firelight glancing cheerily against the window pane, A-fiickering with a witchery we cannot well withstand ; There's the shudder of the screech-owl in the hedgerows down the lane. And it's Indian Summer down in Maryland. Oh. to hear the Kildec calling, wild and tender, sweet and low! Oh, to sec the sunshine lying warm and bright on either hand! Oh. to feel for one short hour the witching spell we used to know Of the Indian Summer down in Maryland. 156 i i ii jA , Mv 'v ■ . GRINDS Your defects to know. Make use of every friend and every foe.

Our beloved professor who spends his leisure hours reading and classifying the books for Sun- day school libraries, especially those having the commandments for their theme, and whose favorite animal is the “swynx,” in his proper “swere,” would of been much shocked if he had heard the remark made not long ago by a dazzled visitor to his sanctum. She was standing awe struck before the picture of Alexander Dumas, and we thought that when she spoke, it would be to give vent to some profound remark about his “massive brow” or his appropriate attire. But no. She said timidly “Isn’t he a funny looking old fellow ? No one would think he wrote ‘Les Miserables,’ would they?” 166 FOR THE CAUSE OF 44 THE KALENDS.

Where sat a man so queer,— His eyes were crossed. And his hearing was lost. And she laughed at him, 1 fear. He hummed and he hawed, He coughed and he cawed. And grew red in his queer old face. She began to gigle. To sway and wriggle. Result—an empty space. ■ 'LJ { • '7 4' ‘ • V ULULATUS VIRGINUM. or. THE MAIDENS’ WAIL.

Professor H. has a way of asking questions in Latin that sometimes elicit une question the considerate words: “Anglice re- spondendum” (to be answered in English). Miss M. S. understanding this bit of advice to be included in the question, renders it (as if addressed to herself?) “O angel, answer.” But on another similar occasion, when the direction was given “Latine respondendum,” it is said that Miss Latane was shocked to find herself singled out for so especial an honor! Miss W. has added a new touch of beauty to Horace's “O rus, quando ego te aspiciam ?” by her moving translation (made during the deliber- ate leisure of an hour examination) “O ye rural home, when shall thine aspect cheer mine eye ?” Student, translating from Quintilian: “ Mihi tersus atque elegans maxime videtur auctor Tibullus,” says, ” Especially terse and elegant seems to me, Ti—Trilby.” Next student reads: “ Est Horatius, nisi labor eius amore, praecipuus.” “ Horace, except in his work on love---------. ” Professor of Latin tears his hair and dismisses the class. On one occasion there was Up here came a Hopkins man Who was not very wise, He bumped into a cactus tree In spite of both his eyes. Our Sociology Professor: “Humanity would most certainly be elevated if some wastes (waists) could be avoided, but they cannot be, it seems.” Miss H. (taking dinner at New York House) “ Oh, these fried potatoes are fine. There are so many of them, that’s what I like about them.” One can generally recognize a Hall girl. EMBRYO BIOLOGISTS TAKE WARNING. Professor writing on the blackboard —“Give a short sketch of the development and anatomy of the coelon or body cavity. Voice from the class—“But professor how can we give the anatomy of a hole ?” Plaintive voice Professor, I have cut several inches into my earthworm, and it has none of the organs it ought to have. Professor, after a moment's glance at the specimen— No wonder Miss, you nave opened your worm at the wrong end. In Chemistry Lab., at beginning of year: Miss — : Dr. B., where can I get a water bath? Dr. B., politely: I'll give you one.” Professor of Sociology: The final exami- nation will cover only the work done since the last examination.” Miss P. (Senior): Won't you please make us out a list of questions from which you will take a certain number for the final ? A list like that is such a guide.” Ye members of the English class, read and take courage, for this is one of the earliest pro- ductions of the revered genius who condescends to lead you on in the field of literature: Felis sedet by a hole, Intenta she cum all her soul.” «7 What might be thought of a Professor who informs an interested class that “appetite is one of the most common and widely spread miner- als on the face of the earth ’ and fails to see the reason of the surprised glance and then the smile which passes around ? How was the class to know that the word was spelt “apatite”? Again, why should the class be amused when the Professor states that “we are now about to study the carbide of silicon, or, as it is some- times called, the silly side (silicide) of carbon”? Prof. X.: “ Miss F., will you please explain to me by an illustration what is meant when we say that certain things bear a simple relation to one another?” Miss A. to Miss B. (sotto voice): “I’ll give an example. X is his mother’s simple relation.” Girls looking over a new collection of Trilby music. The Dean “Is Trilby music written in poetic feet.” i Students of the Johns Hopkins University may obtain relief from colds by applying, on Sunday nights, to Miss H—, as she keeps on hand a supply of cough drops, the Browns Mixture and Dr. Hall's Cough Medecine.
