Steiner DOCTOR EDWARD A. STEINER 'Rx REVEREND EDWARD A. STEINER, PH. D. C' OWA COLLEGE is fortunate in becoming the possessor of my friend, Dr. E. A. Steiner. His interesting personality would add value to any Institution, and must give a peculiar attractivenesss to a College Faculty. Let me describe briefly to the friends of Iowa College what manner of man they have in this occupant of the Chair of Applied Christianity. Mr. Steiner was born thirty-eight years ago in Vienna, the great and brilliant capital of Austria. The grammar schools of that city gave him his earlier training and led to the continuation of his studies at Goettingen and l-Ieidelburg in Germany. lt was from the latter famous University that our friend obtained his Doctor's degree. When he was barely of age, Mr. Steiner joined the great procession westwards, and sailed for America If all immigrants from central and southern Europe were of his type, happy would be the land which received them. Too few are they who come with his peculiar experience and his splendid training, to help in the building ofthe great Republic. After two short years in this country, the young foreigner resolved to give his life to the Christian ministry, and entered Oberlin Theological Seminary whence he graduated in 1891. One of Nlr. Steiner's gifts lies in the direction of linguistics, and this enabled him while yet a student to act as Associate Professor of German in Oberlin College. ln addition he preached twice every Sunday. Nlr. Steiner is nothing unless intense, and one can there- fore hardly estimate what work must have meant to him during his seminary years when he had to combine teaching with study, and both with regular preaching. After graduation from the Seminary, Mr. Steiner hlled the pulpit of four churches in rapid succession, namely St. Cloud, Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota, Springheld, Ohio, and Sandusky, Ohio. ln these pastorates he made himself known as a man of intense convictions and of pas- sionate eloquence. While in Springfield, Mr. Steiner entered upon his career of authorship, at first by contributing to journals of a local char- acter, and later by sending his productions to the denominational newspapers of the Congregational Churches. The ever alert staff of the Outlook discovered his powers, and made him what he con- tinues to be-a regular contributor to the pages of that brilliant and popular journal. The management of the Outlook made a contract with him under which he proceeded to Russia to gather materials for a life of Count Tolstoy. Nlr. Steiner came into close personal relations with that great teacher of our day, and from that fellow- ship not only drew fresh inspirations for his own life but a pro- found regard forthe character, the sincerity, and the' Christian principle of Tolstoy. Erom that visit has grown Nlr. Steiner's only book which is published by the Om'loo'k Company. Some of the prominent characteristics of Mr. Steiner's personality and of his career up to this date are due to the fact that it was as a fully educated man that he came to taste the two supreme values of life. These' are the grace of God in Jesus Christ and life in a free ...G- and self-governing democracy. Only those who have lived outside of these blessings can realize what it is to come intotheir possession, making them a personal choice and basing the whole life henceforth upon them. j I think I am not wrong in saying that Dr. Steiner possesses two supreme devotions and that it is not unlikely his future career will grow out of these and be deeply concerned with them. He has a consuming desire to guide and to interpret the great Slavic immi- gration into this country. He has a great many times, as he tells in one of his lectures, sailed from Europe to America in the midst of the immigrants of that race. He has done so partly from the desire to understand as well as to instruct them, and partly from the desire to study the conditions under which they are admitted and to expose some of the terrific injustice from which they suffer, at the hands of corrupt officials, when they first touch American soil. His next book will probably deal with the Slavic race, and coming from him it ought to be one of absorbing interest and of the greatest value. The second subject with which the mind of our hero is continually concerned is the relation of the Gospel of Christ to the development of social life. Indeed, it is to this subject that he is committed, as occupant of the Chair of Applied Christianity in Iowa College. His students already know with what scholarly methods he lays bare to them the roots of all social progress in the religious life of man, and above all in the religion of revelation. It is his aim, I believe, to make these relations ever more clear to the eyes of his students. He knows sociology, but is free from the vaporing of some sociologists, he is an evangelist, but free from the ignorance of some evangelists, he is a scholar and knows how to adapt scholarship to the needs of his pupils, he is an enthusiastic American citizen with the heart of the cosmopolitan and reconciler of races. In Dr. Steiner's eagerness and intensity one reads the greatness of his gifts. He is a many sided man-as a teacher, able to inter- est and awaken the intellect of the young, as a writer, able to unfold his topic in the clearest of flowing language, as a lecturer, witty, convincing, and passionate. I have tried not to exaggerate but to say a few warm words of one whom I have come to regard very highly, and from whom I, with many others, expect much, alike in the private friendship and the public service which he will yet render to us in the years to come.

For the twenty-tourth time this Senior Girls Club is assembled tonight and for the twenty-second time we bid the Senior boys welcome. By the weight of these twenty-two exceptions, we hope to prove to you beyond all doubt that this organization is exclusively a Seniorgzkls' club. The first scene which we will present to the audience tonight is a tableau from the famous tragedy, Uncle Tom's Cabin. T0Dsy,L1'lllc Em and Uncle Tom come forward. Uncle Tom seats himself, the little girls it if if at-fCut out by facultyj. The audience remain entranced by the beauty and naturalness of the scene,.until Adah and Katie break the spell by transferring, the interest to themselves, as they flit about murmuring enticingly, Have a kissf dog take all you want, take two. g , The management then announces an intermission for refresh- ments. An uproar at once arises, with now and then an intelligent remark audible, from which it may be concluded that, the seniors are having a social time. Why, ljust love dogs, don't you?- black collies with pedigrees anywayf' comes from a little puritan maid as she casts a bewitching glance at the Count, which misses fire and falls harmless. I should say I do, a buxom Dutch lassie returns enthusiastically. I love to have them follow me. Sister Cruikshankj' the shrill tones are unmistakably Samantha's, What is that-er recent pop'lar book you've been recommendin' me to read-'Little Red Divil! That's it, ain't it? Perhaps you mean 'Little Green God,' a new missionary book. Just here a vigorous discussion of school teaching, in which a large number have joined, drowns all other topics. I'd rather like to teach just for the experience, if it were'n't for the exertion, comes in drawling tones from the Duchess. Well, I would too, but my mother and some others seem to think I'm only fitted for staying at home, a sylph-like figure confesses dejectedly. I want to teach, but I'm going west. The boys have told me all about Loveland, and I know it is ideal, and the damask-cheeked maiden casts her glowing eyes uponthe floor, thesecond performanceis announced: Specialty danc- ing by Bess and .lelli John in costume. Agreat crashing is heard as the ideal of the Y. M. president falls off its pedestal at this announce- ment, but the performers hasten to explain that they will give only the Dutch clog. So the audience repairs its shattered idol and composes itself for the rare treat. When the performance is ended the chattering begins again: Mattie, how did you happen to come tonight, was there a wreck on the Iowa Central? its it 'E What's this I hear, Flora, about lVIrs. Berry's asking you over to see the trousseau and wedding decorations? I really think she might have asked me too! Well, you see, Oda, she said she was just asking those who would be specially interested. If I had known it, 1 would have suggested your name. She asked me afterwards if I thought she should have invited Miss Bousquetf' it if it We have a good one on Fay. Addie was embracing all of us Ruggles house girls the other day and when it came Fay's turn she said, 'This is something like it.' it if 'F I-Iaveyou recoveredyet,Irene, from that picture youhad taken with Seddie? That is about the best I ever heard of. Here the chattering is interrupted by the announcement of a reading from Mrs. Berry, who comes forward in costume and thus proceeds: Young ladies and young gentlemen, it is indeeda pleasure to be with you upon this festive occasion and to have this opportunity of making a few timely remarks which I feel are needed, from my observations this evening and past knowledge of the club. I hope you will pardon me it Iunconsciously address myself more especial- ly to the young ladies, as that is my peculiar sphere. First, let me remind you that it is a little better form to leave a small part of one's refreshments upon one's plate. The necessity of this formality is too obvious to need further explanation. Then let me say to the girls, as I have already said many times, the general social atmosphere depends upon you, and I would like to see a more persistent effort to keep the conversation above the personal level-or, to elucidate the point further, if you will pardon the expression, do not conhne yourselves to 'jollying' all the time. It would give me great pleasure to see more dignity among the senior girls. lf a mouse approaches, one should rise to the occa- sion calmly, politely ask to be excused and withdraw gracefully. Right here I must say to the young ladies,-and the young men will be interested I am sure-that it is very unseemly for them to appear on the street unescorted at a late hour as I have known to to occur after gatherings similar to this. Never let your personal preferences carry you to such breaches of good form. Finally let me remind you all that ten o'clock is a very fitting time for bidding the hostess good-night, and as the hour even now striketh I must not detain you longer. Thank you. fTbe Seniors meekbf take their departure in procession, iwo by Zwoj ,25- f-S fi 5,3 PN -X L J 'Q N Q X -'fig xfxgl X . M N ,l.'

But this is the key, l'm forced to confess: Though strictly on time he comes to his dinner, l-le outstays them all, and thus is the winner. A HELEN WEBER- LILLA MAY BARKLEY- Lively, jolly, free from care, 2 Dark brown eyes and golden hair. Her passing favor to procure, What wouldn't any youth endure! ,32- Our western girl, refreshing and Hay, ' With cheeks like apple-blossoms of May, We know without test She likes the Sophs best, But we're glad she's a Junior anyway. S THOMAS SM1LEY- Ambition in youth is ever praised highly. But who seeks ,to become a bo- tanical shark, ls aiming, forsooth, at a very queer markg And this is the purpose of Thomas A. Smiley.

This sweet maiden with cheeks so pink, And eyes of blue that never wink Ui Can charm you so you'd never think Mr. Knowlton, James A. Happened over this way Just to help Prexie Dan run the college. Though from Denmark he came, He's not called a Dane, And his cranium's well stocked with knowledge. ELLEN AUGUSTA PRICE- All other Prices may fall and climb, But our little Ellen is high all the JOHN WESLEY LEAMAN- John Wesley Leaman is equally handy . In freezing cream or making candy.

But space forbids-we can only say She's a Pearl for a diamond set- ting. l'lAZEL WILSON- ETHEL LOUISE HIITCHISON- A righteous maid she be, Naught wrong that you can see, Wright by day, Wright by night, Wright in whatsoever light.

By others he's known as Jimmy RUTH GREEN- There is a young maiden named Green, In all of her studies quite keen, Sometimes she cuts classes, ,fxf But no matter what passes, the Eat, In her manner she's just as For he is so jolly he won't care serene. for that. ZELLA PEARL HART- There are many, many kinds of hearts In many a kind of girl, But did you ever hear of one Made wholly out of Pearl? ALMA ETHEL WRIGHT- HUGH CAROTHERS--1 l am quite proficient in all lines, From History to Greek. For any one wishing knowledge, l am the one to seek.

Robert Clack had avery narrow escape Friday night, Hallowe'en, when he was attacked by several burly rufiians, tied, gagged, and carried as far as Child's corner. Becoming frightened at something there, the rufifians dropped their prey and escaped. Robbie was playing with some little girls at the time, pulling them up the road in an old buggy. No motive is known unless they intended demand- ing ransom from the Ruggles Amusement Co. which has taken quite an interest in the lad. FOR SALE.

ADVENTURES OF- A LITTLE LADD. Once upon a time there was a Litta Ladd who lived in the country. One Day he was sent to gather some cherries ofa neighboring Farmer. This smallboy was not fond of work, but set.outslike Aborn hero,and as one saw- him going down the road one might have thought that he would sometime be an Alexander who never tired of deeds. But no sooner was the house out of sight than hee sat down by the Way' to rest. Looking afar oiT to the Churchill he thought of what the minister said about the Christian being Ernest, and finally fearing he, would Rew the idle Day he again started on his Way. He picked a few sweet Williams before turning into a quiet little Lane bordered on both sides by tall Reeds. Once the boy was startled as a Cochran by, bearing himself with such impor- tance that he thought ofa story he once read about a Keiser. As he came out of the Lane he saw on a sign board a picture of a grand lady, the Starzinger who was to appear in Towne that night. He began to wish he could see the .grand lady, and by the time he reached the' farm gate his face was set with Grimm determinationg forthe Hrst time he realized one could have Ames in life. When he grew to be a man he would see all these grand thingsg he would live in Towne if he could be nothing Moore than a But'er. The Farmer set him to picking cherries right. away, but by the time he had picked a Peck without the Pitts the Sun was getting Low in the West and he had to start for home. The next day this boy was taken very sick. Whether it was the result ot his long journey, of his manv thoughts ofthe preceding day or of too many cherries has never been known, but Valari- us' Quick Cure was applied and the Litta Ladd recovered in a few days and has been in the best of health Since.

Carnegie for the erection of the newly-Hnished library building. The gift was secured through the influence of Dr. Albert Shaw, '79, of New York City. ' Some few years ago it was suggested to Dr. Shaw that an effort be made to interest Nlr. Carnegie to provide an endowment for the library. But Dr. Shaw, knowing that it was not in accordance with Mr. Carnegie's policy of giving to contribute endowments, bided his time until the need of larger library accommodations had become acute, and then took the necessary steps to secure both library and maintenance fund. The fifty thousand dollars for the building was furnished with the understanding that tive thousand a year would be provided by friends ot the college for the upkeep and running expenses of the library. This condition was made by Dr. Shaw himself, who wrote at the time, I hope it will be clearly understood that Nlr. Carnegie had no share in making this tive-thousand-dollar condition, that I hold myself entirely responsible for making it, and that I regard the con- dition as eventually more valuable to us than the gift itselt. it In my judgment, we should aim dennitely toward havinga well- selected library of 100,000 books at Grinnell within the next fifteen years or thereaboutsf' The formal otfer of the gift was made on March 9, 1903, and on Nlarch 31st was accepted by the Trustees of the college. A canvass for maintenance funds was immediately entered upon and by Aug- ust Ist about 53,000 a year for five years had been subscribed, one- sixth of the amount being given by Dr. Shaw himself, and a New York friend of his. The building in which the enlarged library is to be housed has been built large, with generous provision for future expansion. It is 101 feet long by 50 feet wide, with a stack room at the rear 56 by 39 feet in size. The building is of two stories, above a high basement, and the construction material is red pressed brick, trimmed with Bedford stone. The building provides large periodi- cal and general reference reading rooms, a stack room, rooms for cataloguers and librarian, for art and other special collections, for study, conversation, and conference purposes, adequate cloak and store rooms, and also a lecture room and several other rooms to be used temporarily for recitation and general administration purposes. The stack room makes provision for 10,962 feet 12.09 milesj of shelving, which will accommodate about 98,000 volumes, and storage space provided in other parts of the building makes its total book capacity nearly 200,000 volumes. The plans for the building were drawn with great care by the architects, Hallett Sc Rawson of Des Moines, and its erection and furnishing was carried out with economy, so that excellent value for the money invested was secured for the college. An indication of the impetus the new building has given to the library interests here is the fact that more than 3,000 books have been added during the past year, making the total number in tne library at present about 34,ooo, -65.- 'Tis pleasant to drive ,mid winter's snow, Or where soft summer breezes blow JV To drift in light canoe, But of all the college joys we share, The one that stands without compare ls linked with violets blue.

When Lady May, of months most fair, Has decked the hills so bleak and bare With dainty flowers pure, When woodlands bloom in all their pride A And laughing violets open wide, Grave students to allure, We gather the wondrous flowers blue, Symbol of all enchanting and true, In the sunset's golden haze, Our hearts in tune to the purple sky, And the birds' bright melody seems to cry Sweet dream of youthful days.

Buck is about to conclude his active work of more than forty years, rich in service, for lowa College, that some one of our collegiate faintly should make the attempt to put in words the thanks which we children of a common parent feel, and the debt we owe to this grand old man of lowa College. At the same time it seems peculiarly untitting that this privilege should fall to one of the latest generation of lowa College graduates. The telling of such a story, so rich in incidents connected with the past of our college and which is closely related to almost the entire history of the institu- tion should have been reserved for a writer who could speak as one having authority and who might conclude his tale with the words, omnia quorum vidi et magna pars fui. However if respect, honor and gratitude are things to be handed down, like college traditions, from one generation of students to another then perhaps the writer may find a justification for his presumption in the fact that he has learned from parents and from brothers and sisters who have preceded him through the college halls as well as from his own experience, a little of the debt of gratitude which Iowa College and Grinnell, not to mention wider fields, owe to the example and efforts of Professor Buck. The year 1864 was not a particularly bright one for lo-wa Col- lege. The halls were for the most part deserted by the men, who had gone in answer to I.incoln's call for 'fsix months' volunteers to repel Lees second invasion of Nlaryland and Virginia. The total college enrollment numbered only 92 students and the faculty con- sisted of but four instructors. intending collegians says one of the college historians, flew to Donelson and Shiloh-rather than to college. The spirits of Achilles and of Leonidas, of Philip Sydney and William the Silent, re-born in America, could not remain in college. They rushed into the army of Grant and of Sherman. At one time every one in college who could carry a gun enlisted in the union service. The college trustees, says another writer, met, transacted the most important business and adjourned to read of the fate of Iowa College boys at the front, of Grant's for- ward movement on to Richmond and of Sherman's march to the sea. But in their hurried work the Board of Trustees were build- ing better than perhaps they knew, for in that year of dreadful sus- pense they brought to Cirinnell a man who was to have such an influence on both the struggling college and the young town as only a strong, Christian man can have by a life-long devotion and labor. Samuel Jay Buck was born in Russia, Herkimer county, New York, on the fourth of July, 1835. It was atthis time that York state was pouring its streams of emigrants like a flood into the valley of the Ohio where they joined forces with the New England element in their struggle against the southerners over the ques- tions of gambling, intemperance and the slave trade, in which struggle Puritan morality came off victorious. Joining this west- ward movement the Buck family removed to the town of Mecca in Trumbull county, Ohio, where the subject of this sketch passed his childhood on a farm. ln 1853 he entered the preparatory depart- ment of Oberlin College and for tive years breathed the personal liberty and public morality atmosphere of this New England college in the west. Here he graduated in 1858 and began teaching at once, which work was to occupy the greater partasf his life. Northern Ohio had now been filled with the settlers fromddew England and the Middle States, while the southern part of the state had long since been consigned to the Bourbon elements. The waves of population were fast rolling on to renew the struggle further west and the young teacher moved with them. After receiving his first experi- ence in teaching in the rural schools ol' Ohio he went to Illinois where he was similarly engaged for a short time. At one time he was an instructor in an academy at Bazetta, Ohio, and at another was principal of Union school at West Liberty in the same state. ln 1859 he was married to Jane Cory, a college classmate, and shortly afterwards gave up the calling to which he had seemed so peculiarly titted by nature to enter the Theological School at Oberlin from which he graduated in 1862 with the degree of Master of Arts. During the following three years he served as principal of Orwell Academy in the town of that name in Ohio, and there he was ordained to the Congregational ministry in 1863. For the next year in addition to his educational work he filled the Congregational pulpits at Orwell and Mecca, till in 1864, as we have said, the call to thelittle college beyond the Mississippi came and he heard the call and came over into Macedonia. l-low he helped us is a matter of history. lt was largely through the influence of Professor Von Coelln, then one of the four teachers in Iowa Col- lege, who hadknown Profesgor Buck in northern Ohio and who recommended him highly to the trustees, that he came to Grinnell. Professor Buck first landed in the town of Grinnell on February 5, 1864, and at once took up his work as principal of the Iowa College Academy and second permanent instructor in lowa College this well-beloved colleague, the venerable L. P. Parker, being the tirst one permanently employed as teachery with an enthusiasm which has never grown dull during the trials of forty years. ln 1869 the college trustees made ntting recognition of his efforts by electing him Professor of Mathematics and Physics, which place he has Hlled continuously to the present time except that in -1893 the title of the chair was changed to that of Mathematics and Astronomy. Throughout the year 1865 he preached at Chester and helped organize the Congregational church there, supplying the pulpit till January, 1866, when he resigned to accept the position of County Superintendent of Schools. To this position he was twice elected but after three years of faithful service he resigned to accept the recall to the pulpit of the Chester church. Here he served for two years more and then resigned to supply the new church at Gilman, a swarm from the Chester hive, which he had aided in organizing and for which he preached every Sunday for seven years. Later he supplied the pulpit of the Congregational church at Toledo for two years. All this time he had been doing his full quota of college work childhood on a farm. ln 1853 he entered the preparatory depart- ment of Oberlin College and for Eve years breathed the personal liberty and public morality atmosphere of this New England college in the west. Here he graduated in 1858 and began teaching at once, which work was to occupy the greater part of his life. Northern Ohio had now been Hlled with the settlers from New England and the Middle States, while the southern part of the state had long since been consigned to the Bourbon elements. The waves of population were fast rolling on to renew the struggle further west and the young teacher moved with them. After receiving his first experi- ence in teaching in the rural schools of Ohio he went to Illinois where he was similarly engaged for a short time. At one time he was an instructor in an academy at Bazetta, Ohio, and at another was principal of Union school at West Liberty in the same state. In 1859 he was married to Jane Cory, a college classmate, and shortly afterwards gave up the calling to which he had seemed so peculiarly ntted by nature to enter the Theological School at Oberlin from which he graduated in 1862 with the degree of Master of Arts. During the following three years he served as principal of Orwell Academy in the town of that name in Ohio, and there he was ordained to the Congregational ministry in 1863. For the next year in addition to his educational work he filled the Congregational pulpits at Orwell and Mecca, till in 1864, as we have said, the call to thelittle college beyond the Mississippi came and he heard the call and came over into Macedonia. l-low he helped us is a matter of history. It was' largely through the influence of Professor Von Coelln, then one of tlte four teachers in Iowa Col- lege, who hadiknown Professor Buck in northern Ohio and who recommended him highly to the trustees, that he came to Grinnell. Professor Buck tirst landed in the town of Grinnell on February 5, 1864, and at once took up his work as principal of the Iowa College Academy and second permanent instructor in Iowa College this well-beloved colleague, the venerable L. F. Parker, being the first one permanently employed as teacherb with an enthusiasm which has never grown dull during the trials of forty years. ln 1869 the college trustees made fitting recognition of his efforts by electing him Professor of Mathematics and Physics, which place he has tilled continuously to the present time except that in 1893 the title of the chair was changed to that of Mathematics and Astronomy. Throughout the year -1865 he preached at Chester and helped organize the Congregational church there, supplying the pulpit till January, 1866, when he resigned to accept the position of County Superintendent of Schools. To this position he was twice elected but after three years of faithful service he resigned to accept the recall to the pulpit of the Chester church. Here he served for two years more and then resigned to supply the new church at Gilman, a swarm from the Chester hive, which he had aided in organizing and for which he preached every Sunday for seven years. Later he supplied the pulpit of the Congregational church at Toledo for two years. All this time he had been doing his full quota of college work and doing it so faithfully and so well that when in 1870 the trus- tees, feeling the need of more funds, began to look about for some one to act as a representative of the college in the solicitation of gifts for the Memorial Fund, so-called because that year was the 250th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, they very naturally chose Professor Buck. The wisdom of this choice was shown when in a few months he had raised between 525,000 and 830,000 for endowment and 53,000 more for equipment for the physics department, whichsums meant much more in rural Iowa in the days of granger agitation and of 10 per cent interest than they do in the rich commonwealth we know today. At the following Commencement the trustees in recognition of his successful efforts, unsolicited and unexpectedly to him, gave his chair the title of the Memorial Professorship. This name it retained until 1891 when Alonzo Steele of Grinnell pledged 520,000 for the endow- ment of the chair and at his request the title was changed to the Myra Steele Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in honor of a deceased daughter, which name it retains today except for the slight change in substituting Astronomy for Mathematics to which reference has 'already been made. In 1870 Iowa College and Professor Buck were honored by his election to the presidency of the State Teachers' Association and he presided at the annual meeting at Council Bluffs in 1871. Later he was once more elected to this position of responsibility and honor, but this time declined it. Before this time Professor Buck's name and reputation had passed beyond the limits of his own state and in 1880 the well known Dr. J. E. Roy was sent by Secretary Strieby of the Ameri- can Missionary Association to offer him the presidency of Talladega College in Alabama. This he refused and so became one of the earliest of those who have endeared themselves to the constituency of Iowa College by sacrincing what the world might call advance- ment to serve the college to which they have consecrated their lives. In 1884 came the resignation of Iowa Collegets first president, the ever-forceful George F. Magoun. Under different circumstances the inter-regnum might easily have proven a period of doubt and suspense and fear. But Professor Buck was chosen acting presi- dent and the work went forward uninterruptedly, gaining in quality and quantity, so that at the close of this triennium the attendance had increased over 43 per cent and more money was raised for Iowa College than during any similar period in its history of nearly six decades. ln 1888 the Clark Equatorial Telescope came to the college and Professor Buck, who had been teaching astronomy without any interruption since 1869 now set about to obtain other equipment for the department,+with his usual success. In a short time he had secured the funds for much of the valuable equipment for practical work in teaching astronomy which Iowa College possesses today. In addition to his regular college work he has acted as a voluntary observer for the Weather Bureau since 1888 and has served as County Surveyor for 16 years, which oftice he still holds, a record which it is safe to say has never been surpassed by an officer in this county and seldom in the state. This position he has consented to retain in order to give his students in surveying a chance to do the practical work of a professional surveyor and to add interesg to their study. incidentally more than one student has found itfa means of compensation during odd hours, to assist him through his college course. And now at last alter this life of it ork well done and of service joyfully rendered, while his eye is as yet undimmed and his natural strength and force unabated comes the announcement that Professor Buck has decided to give up his active participation in college work and enjoy a well earned rest from his labors. As one recalls the story of his life and thinks of the part which he has played in the building-up, not only of the college and the town of Grinnell, but of the state as well, it is little wonder that he hesi- tates to point a moral or adorn the tale with words which cannot be more eloquent or forceful than a statement of the simple facts. Moreover eulogy seems inappropriate here from the fact that Pro- fessor Buck has never been one to court public notice or to desire public praise. But for the alumni of lowa College who have learned to know this man and knowing, to love him, the news of his resignation will involuntarily call up certain thoughts and lessons which associate themselves naturally with the story of his life and which it seems well to mention briefly at this time. lf there is any one thing more than another which Professor Buck's life and efforts illustrate it is perhaps the great P f -100 amount of work which a man can accompiish simply by living his life conscientiously from day to day and by working patiently, tirelessly, calmly-withoutunseemly haste or worry. That Professor Buck's days have been filled with hard, serious toil, none who have known of the various interests of his life will deny. One of his own household recalls many a day in earlier years when, wearied by the trials ofa week's hard work, he would shut himself up alone on Saturday in order not to be disturbed while preparing a discourse for his Chester or Gilman or Toledo congregation the following day. On Sunday morning he would be up and off early forthe long drive to his pulpit where he would conduct one, two, and often three services and then drive home and cheerfully begin the gweek's round over again early Monday morning. Yet his life has been characterized by tranquility and patient reserve-a mark of culture which the much-boasted strenuousness of our present work- ing-day world cares little for and which shames the hasty ways of little men. But the characteristic which we think most prominently asso- ciates itself with Professor Buck in the minds of those who have been his students is his unfailing kindness and gentleness. It is a necessary stage in the evolution of agraduate that the student should at some period of his career feel that he is an object of persecution on the part of his instructors and that he is being made a vicarious sacrince or scape-goat for the sins of his fellows. And yet we doubt if any student ever thought that Professor Buck had it in for him or was unfair to him. He has always tried to be just, and though holding up high ideals to others, he has never been one to demand of others what he did not require of himself. Like Chaucer's good priest, Christ's lore and His Apostles twelve he taught, but Hrst he followed it himselvef' lt is one of the privileges and favorite pastimes of the college stu- dent, and scarcely less of the college graduate, to tell many stories at the expense of the college instructors, some of which are proba- bly true and more of which are not. These are not always of the most kindly nature, but the writer has yet to hear from a student or alumnus or from the lips of any other person one single mean or unkind reference to Professor Buck. A testimony of this kind is worth more than pen can write. Another conspicuous feature inthe life of this man has been the respect and high regard which he has always maintained for his calling. Whether preaching or teaching, he has felt that he was doing God's good work, and he has done it with a befitting dignity. Yet this dignity and-self-respect could never be mistaken for bigotry or intolerance towards the views or acts' of others. Being by nature conservative, he has held conservative views and was never accused of unorthodoxy, but he has never tried to force his views on others, and has been broad-minded enough to have respect for the opinions of others. ln fact one may say he has been as a rule very reserved in expressing his own views except when he thought the time imperatively demanded it. On one such occasion at least he has taken a firm and decided stand when others ques- tioned and hesitated, only to see his position justihed by time. -101 The source of his humor has always been as unfailing as his kindness, and his bright, cheerful manner has been a tonic and a lesson for those who have come in contact with him. He possesses a real and keen sense of humor which has always found ready expression. Generosity has ever been another of his traits-a generosity which has led him to give to college, church, town and public interests far in excess of his means or his share, particularly in the early days of town and college. As this little article is intended forureaders of our own limited circle alone, it has touched but briefly on Professor Buck's services to the wider field of county and state education, in which he and Professor Parker were pioneers of whom Grinnell is proud, for their works do follow them. Much might be said along this line, but it must be passed by with the brief references above to his ser- vices as County Superintendent of Public Instruction and as Presi- dent of the Iowa State Teachers' Association, and the mere mention of the fact that a few years ago the trustees of Tabor College honored themselves and Professor Buck by bestowing on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity for his public services. ' It is no disparagement then to the other members of our Iowa College circle to say that none of them are the objects of greater affection than is this good grey head whom all men know. In regard to him a prominent graduate of the college expresses the common sentiment when he writes, 'tHe is one of the pioneers of the college, a true friend to all students and a kind Providence has found him so useful to the institution that two score years of labor have been measured out to him. lt is a great record, one vouch- safed to but few persons. He ought to be proud of his record and every son and daughter of Iowa College is proud of Pgrfessor Buck. He has been in a very true sense a connecting linlcbetween the old and the new in our college life, for he has shared the privi- leges and helped bear the burdens of both. Young in spirit and in faith, he is old in service and rich in experience. Though by no means the last by whom the new has been tried he has never been the tirst to throw the old aside. Thus he has been a constant re- minder of old ideals at the same time that he has been a conserva- tive adopter of new ideas. lf, as President Eliot has said, lt is the greatest of human rewards to be enfolded as years advance in an atmosphere of honor, gratitude and love, 'Professor Buck has come as nearwreal- izing this supreme happiness as perhaps any one could. He has been blessed for nearly half a century with a wife in sympathy with all his aspirations, who wears the pure flower of a blameless life and who has borne her full share of her husband's burdens, as she has been joint participant in his joys. He has seen the -102- t college, whose success has been hrs ambition and care, grow from a weakling to its present state and has been allotted a prominent part in bringing this development about. He has won the respect and affection of all those who have had the interests of the college in their hearts and he has been in the truest sense the student's friend. Who can doubt that he will receive his reward. Serus in coelum redeatl Unskillful he to fawn or seek for power By doctrines fashioned to the varying hour. Far other aims his heart had learned to prize, More bent to raise the wretched than to riseg But in his duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept and prayed and felt for all. His ready smile a parent's warmth expressed, Their welfare pleased him and their griefs distressed. To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given, But all his thoughts had rest in heaven, As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale and midway leaves the storm, Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread, Eternal sunshine settles on its head?- AUSTIN P. HAINES, '03, Grinnell, Iowa. PAST VICTORIES The poet sings of the olden golden glory of the days gone by. But the gez'fg1'1'sihas transferred the golden age from the past to the future. If athletic achievements of the past seem more glorious than those of the present, it may be only seeming. ls there not as true a glory in putting skill and pluck into a contest with a superior, as in vanquishing inferior opposition? In the past decade the West has differentiated the College and the University, and the athletic world is so organized as- to give a preponderance of select material to the latter. Yet the Scarlet and Black has always encountered superior numbers, and the spirit that made her victor in the past should not be daunted now. In the days when we are striving in a contest of doubtful issue, to maintain membership in the Big Four, we may get some inspir- ation from a look at the days when we were the Bzg' One. The traditions and spirit of a college form the most valuable and im- portant part of its endowment. The record of the 1895 Track Team forms a pleasant chapter in Iowa College history. These were the days when we used the railroad track for a speedway, and took our baths in the basement of Alumni Hall. A small rubber tube carried the water that was at times so hot that snow was used to neutralize it, and at times so cold that heroic treatment was necessary to overcome the blue and teeth-chattering effects. But naught cared we fordifficulties. The spirit of Ward, Pooley and Williston gave us courage. There were standards to be measured up to, traditions to be maintained, a -103 college with ideals that meant more for consistent work than com- fortable quarters and high-salaried trainers. The home meet brought out forty-four entries, and when the day's work was done we knew we had a winning teamf Then came the first meet of the Iowa Dual League, held at Iowa City. Johnnie Crum, one of the most splendid athletes that ever graced the cinder path, was sure of four first places, and S. U. I. had other first place certainties. There was no way of figuring out a victory on paper, but the wearers of the Maltese Cross came home to report a clean cut victory, won by every fellow Hghting for third place when first or second was out of reach. Speedy Rush, soon to become world famous, the vanquisher of the great Wefers, won his first point in an inter-collegiate meet, after three years of hard training. Whitley again equaled his 49 second record in the quarter,-first and second monotonously went to Grinnell men in the distance runs, and every fellow did his best. The State Meet, held at Grinnell, was a very easy victory, but easy only because' every student contributed his or her share to the support of the team. The meet was ours by a large margin, and that night the State President, at a meeting in the old opera house, delivered the state cup to Grinnell's captain, to be the property of his college for all time. Laio-Yang and Port Arthur were ours. Flushed with victory, a select few started for Mukden, the Western Inter-Collegiate Meet in Chicago. There we met Oberlin, Northwestern and Chicago, the State Universities of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, with a score or more of lesser schools, and worst of all, the invincible '95 team from California. Had this latter team stayed on their own side of the desert, we might have carded home the pennant that year. As it was, we were second inf number of points, and proclaimed ourselves champions of the Mississippi Valley, preparing the way for next year's team to bring home the pennant. lt was in this meet that Whitley passed a swift bunch and finished a close second in the quarter. Clyde and Palmer finished the mile hand in hand, leading a bunch of over titty from the big schools, and a few minutes later Palmer surprised Koch, California's great distance man, by passing him just at the tape in the half-mile in the heart-breaking time of less than two minutes. The spirit of - -104 S the team was shown in thiserace by Whitley, weary from his hard fight in the quarter, going in to run at Palmer's side, keeping the mass of runners from jostling him, holding his pace just right until compelled to drop out, and then staggering across the oval to cheer him at the finish. Blodgett picked up some loose points in his fancy work with the weights, while Reed, Spaulding and Henry were all close to the winners in their events. When the joints of the men who made up the '95 track team begin to take on a dignined stiffness, the memory of those days may prove a better liniment than anything advertised by the druggist. Nlay the traditions that they helped to establish always be sacredly guarded by the men of the present and the future. ' JOHN P. CLYDE, '94. AN EVENING WITH THE BOARD OF 1905 --! my eyes are aching sadly, For the gas is burning low, And upon my book a dimness Grows and still proceeds to grow-- All because the thoughtful landlord, Of his thoughtfulness bereft, Failed to put the needed quarter ln the meter ere he left. l cast my useless text aside And give my eyes a rest, Think some thoughts that, long and lurid, Are the better not expressed g And the way l feel reminds me How l formerly have felt When foul rulings of disorder Used to strike below the belt, And l with righteous indignation, When I thought of Greek to learn, And of flunking on the morrow, Rose to move we now adjourn. But as long l ponder over Trifling aggravations past, Comes a gentler mood, forgiving All our wilful Prexie hast On this helpless night inflicted -IOS Who could only bear and grin, But who now would grin with pleasure Just to see her face again. Ah, the gas is burning lower, Yes, but what for that care l, Since my thoughts are hieing backward ln the way they're won't to hie, And my book-strewn study table, Taking on proportions new, Turns its oil-cloth covered surface To a golden oaken hue, While an opened watch before me Swears it's getting near to ten,- For l'm back in Prexie's office- Prexie Dan's palatial den- Where we used to meet in conclave T 0 discuss and re-discuss, Till we felt like re-discussing With no fe-dis-some of us. At the head of Dan's new table, With her eyes emitting sparks, Sits our Helen, smiles dispensing, And irrelevant remarksg Near her at the book recording Sits a hempen-headed youth, Pausing often from his labors To impart some occult truth, While his bright blue eye encounters Bluer eyes than skies of Nlay, ln a really, truly, purely Accidental sort of way. Beside him glooms our Henry Tilting backwards in his chair, Making bluffs at being thoughtful And immersed in business care: Thoughtful frowns his brow enwrinkles, As he, thoughtful, rubs his chin, And that grim-set mouth full rarely Breaks its grimness for a grin, But more often opens grandly To emit sententious lore, Spit a spat imaginary, Close-to ope again once more. From me just across the table There's a dear old friend of mine, And l scan his features fondly, As I did in olden time, But, as then, I End all blankness, All expressionless and bare or rite slightest him of feeling, -106 5 Of the faintest trace of care, And l wonder-as was usual- ls he bored or is he tired, ls he lost in thoughts unfathomed, Or in a trance, inspired By that sylph and swan-like maiden u Sitting meekly at his side, Like a lily by a mushroom- Pardonl let me not deride, Clark by no means is a fungus, I-le's an oak tree tried and true, But for sake of rhyme and meter l prevaricate a few. Yonder looms phlegmatic Blather, Truth and honor to the core, And the core is sound and wholesome So we cannot ask for more, But yet l can't help feeling When he tells a joke, long-spun, Tattered fragments-held together By a fragile thread of fun, That l've seen some better weavers Cf gay stories in my time,+ Swish, for instance, who constructed Tales of mirth we voted prime. By the way, his face reminds me How it used to grow perplexed When we sprung some joke abysmal And forgot to put him next, But then how that sweet face dimpled When he tinally caught on, How that forceful laugh came booming When the time to laugh had gone!- Nluch unlike that laugh sarcastic, That from Adah, the divine, Forth proceeded when proposals With her wishes didn't chime, Or some humor thypotheticy Failed to reach the funny-bone, Failed, to raise the laugh expected, And received her laugh alone. There she sits, as tall and stately As she used to be, l trow, Like Minerva, minus helmet, An uncrowned but real Juno. Aha! she's at thattrick of hers,- To that tart-tongued Nlary Jane She is talking noisy secrets .While the Prexie raises cain Trying to secure attention, H 107 Beats her reddened knuckles raw, And old Temp, who's here for business, Getting riled, begins to jaw. And then there's deathly silence Till tart Nlary, all unmoved, Intimates she stands corrected, Stands corrected, and approved? That poor starving light grows fainter,- Just two more and then, goodnight- They are sitting close beside me, One to left and one to right. Damask roses on my right hand, Luscious lips upon my left,- Were my steel nerves not case-hardened l'd of senses be bereft By bright eyes and smiling faces, By the sweet seductive way Of these two unwinged angels, Fair Pauline and Nlary May.

As the past that once was present- r Guess I'd better get to bed- GEO- F- RICHARDSON, '04-'05 -108- THE CYCLONE AS I KNEW IT June 17, 1882, is a marked day in my weather calendar, and I will tell you why. For years I had heard cyclone yarns, as all Westerners have. How the Kansas man sailing through midair caught a glimpse of the baby, the next round he made a grab but missed him, the third round he succeeded in catching him, on the fourth round picked up his wife and the milk pail, and all landed together in the pasture near the cows, before the baby waked up to cry for his milk. Warming up they would tell of chickens picked by the winds, post holes and wells blown out of the ground, timbers driven clear through the sides of houses and tin roofs rolled up like sheets of paper. With all the ripe wisdom of twenty years in the world and my personal knowledge of blizzards, squalls, and thunder storms backed by my years of service in the State Weather Bureau, I was sure that they exaggerated badly, anyway I would like to see the wind blow that way! Well, l did! And it took less that a minute to change all my doubts to belief. That June had been hot and rainy with frequent thunder squalls sweeping down from the northwest, drenching the ground and breaking the red maples, but cooling the air. The storm of the night previous had been especially severe. West College had swayed and rocked till it put me to sleep. That Saturday as we Juniors were preparing Commencement decorations the sticky June heat had been enough to dampen the ardor for a picnic of even college co-eds. -109 There had been a squall about six o'clock that night, breaking trees and washing the streets,.but it did not bring the usual relief from the heat. As we sat in our rooms in the third story of West College looking off over the town into the sunset, it seemed like looking into a great tiery furnace with its smoke and flame and heat. Suddenly darkness fell and another squall was upon us with the rushing' of the wind, the continual flash of the lightning, the roar of the thunder, and the beating of the hail and torrents of rain, which within five minutes came from all the points of the compass. Three of us, Aaron, Pinky Bill and l had gathered in A's. room in the southeast corner of the building. Weren't we thankful that we hadn't driven to Tama with the boys for that base ball game! What a soaking they would get! Just then in a little lull of the storm there came a roar from the west as if a-dozen freight trains were approaching. We rushed along the corridor to the windows at the west end to see the whirlwind. By the light of the continual flash we saw two col- umns of cloud in the northwest. Even then the wind was blowing hard enough to tear the glass from the sash in front of us and the roar was increasing. l yelled, 'tlt is going north of us, when Baker, or Aaron, who saw it a moment later said, lt is coming straight for us. We rushed to our rooms to secure the windows so as to prevent the wind getting' hold of the building and racking it. As l entered my room the wind sucking through an open south window threw the student's lamp off the table and upset my heavy study chair. The lamp chimney crunched under my feet as I rushed to the window and the door behind me swung to with a bang! No perceptible tremor in the building, and I thought to myself, The building's all right for it does not shake as it didelast night, then I felt myself falling, something struck me on the hfead, and it was all over until I came to, buried in the debris of the building. Long Will, who was passing rather hurridly across the lower part of the campus, the wind assisting, says the building went down as if it were a pasteboard box smashed with a board. When I recovered consciousness the rain and hail were still beat- ing on top of the pile over me, but most of the noise was over. I was buried to my knees in brick and mortar, but something, which I afterwards found was my great student chair, had kept the bulk of the stuff from resting on me. I did not have the experience of the drowning man though I remember two thoughts flashing through my head. First, of the falling of the Pemberton Mill at Lawrence, then, HI guess we won't decorate that church tomorrow. I dug myself loose so that I lay free in the little space enclosing me, and at last got my hand to my pocket for the handkerchief to wipe the plaster from my eyes with which they were filled level full. But the pocket and the handkerchief were as full of plaster as they. Then there came a shout which I thought was Aaron's voice, but no reply to my answer, so I thought he must be dying. Then a wait that seemed like hours, though it could only have been a few minutes, and I recognized a voice calling to know if any of us were -ll O I alive. ln a few minutes the wreck above me was cleared away and with some one to guide me I was able to walk to what is now Mr. Vittum's house. There I got my eyes cleaned out so that I could see to walk on alone to my brother's. The shock of that walk! Passing first a house and through its yard which seemed undisturbed, then attempting to walk around buildings where now the ground was bare though Ihad been in them within an hour. Then I found no path, but great piles of wreck where before there had been free passage. At last I arrived at my brother's and found the house partly demolished but the family unhurt except that my sister in her hasty flight to the cellar with a child in her arms had seated herself in a pan of milk. f I was helped into some dry clothes and then went with the fami- ly to our next door neighborts, whose house stood, though his windows and chimneys were gone. As it was the most northerly house left standing on the street, all the neighbors to the north reported as they came down from the wrecks of their houses on their way to the town. Twenty who had survived the storm were gathered there at once. All our near friends had escaped serious hurt. One finicky young woman appeared clad in a man's coarse red flannel shirt for a waist. Some of us did finally lie down in our clothes and try to sleep. About three o'clock in the morning I stepped out of doors to look at the sky. The night wind was blowing and moaning a little. For the first time that night I sensed matters enough to be scared and I can feel now the chill of terror that came over me as I thought, Perhaps the storm is sweeping back again. Morning came at last and we could see what the storm had done. Streets and alleys were gone, the fences, trees and buildings which marked them were swept clean away or piled in windrows across them. At my brother's house the roof was goneg a feather bed had been pulled out of the second story and the outside wall of the house laid upon it, window glass had been driven through door panels and foot boards. The family horse was blown out of the barn, across one block, the campus and the railroad into the grove north of the cottage, where he was found still tied to the manger rail as I had left him that night. I used to sympathize with him after that when he cocked his ears and shook his head because the wind blew. West College had become a pile of bricks and rubbish. Pinky Bill, whose reverend title of today vouches for his truth- fulness, affirms that he was buried in bricks so completely that one -Ill- could have walked over him and not known of his presence, though he threw them off unaided and had not a scratch to show. Aaron with his usual luck floated out with the east wall, next which he was standing, and landing on the top of the pile, he steered himself to a maple trunk, whose top had already been blown off, and swinging behind it for shelter heard bricks and splinters whiz by his ears or strike the tree. I-le says what flashed through his mind was, This is a pretty way to put a man out of college who has been trying for five years to get an education! His only personal misfortune was that when his overcoat was found, the wind had blown a pack of playing cards into one of his pockets-- at least so he claimed. It was his call that I heard and then he had gone to help Bingham Burgett. Poor Burgett, the only one of us in the dormitories who nas hurt, trying to get out of the building he was caught in the wreck and so crushed that he died that night. The chimney and wall which I had leaned against for protection was found farther back in the building than the spot from which I came so that somewhere and somehow we had passed in the air and I myself had been blown through a brick wall. DOXIE. IAT ALL DEPENDS UPON YOUR POINT OF VIEW' , -----, Iowa, January 31, 1905. DEAR MARIANI Did I ever write to you during my college days that I was busy? If I did, l beg you to consign those letters to the flames, for they are gross exaggerations, merely thexpr duct of my too fertile imagination. Busy! Why, I did not even know what the word busy meant in those blissful days. This work of teaching the young idea how to shoot is all right, and I like it immensely, but l can assure you it is no dream of ease. The busiest week lever spent in Old Grinnell, however full it may have been of committee meetings, society work, rehearsals, debates- and college work, can not compare with the week just ended. Examination week is hard enough on the pupils, but the long-suf- fering teachers are the worst victims. A teacher does feel so much interest in her pupils, and sometimes, l think, is more anxious that they should do well than they are themselves. Positively, I believe this past week has been the most strenuous I ever spent-Commencement week not excepted. I will tell you how it goes, so that you may count your blessings, while you are still a carefree college student. In the Hrst place, it takes hours, -yes, many hours, of hard work to make out the various sets of ques- tions, and then comes the charming task of taking them off on the mimeograph. ln the third act the tragedy reaches its climax, for three long hours are consumed by each examination. Just think of it! lsn't it cruel? Truly, l do feel sorry for those poor young- sters as they sit and write so frantically, and with many appealing -11 2 glances at the teachers, as if they would read the answers to the questions in our faces-and sometimes l wish they could. And oh! how tired we become standing, and watching, and waiting, or fly- ing from one side of the room to the other to answer some such intelligent question as, Say, Nliss --, hain't they no other name for them there attribute complements? For the sake of the children I am always glad when the last one with a mighty sigh of relief hands in his last paper. ' But, after that-the deluge! The tfaftermathu of correcting all those papers is the most nerve racking, back breaking, head splitting business in which I ever engaged. lt takes forever and a day, and then it is so hard to grade fairly, giving each his due-no more, no less. Before you are half through with the first set of papers, fhe children Cbless their heartslj begin to interrupt you with many an anxious, Say, did I pass? Truly, l have learned things this week-new andastounding things-that you never dreamed of in your philosophy. l am sure even Secldie did not know that Shakespeare was an actress who wrote 'Utopiaj and who said, 'Better to have reigned in hell than never to have reigned at all.' Nor would Professor Noble be equal to parsing a word thusly: When is a transitory verb, nom- inative case, fourth person, passive voice, comparative degree. lsn't that enough to make the grammarians of the ages turn over in their graves? Did you know that German adjectives have determinations, or the tact that two bodies can not occupy the same space at the same time is called malIeabiIity? It must be true because two of the teachers were so informed by their young hopefuls. I thank my lucky stars that I am blessed with some slight sense of humor, for seeing the funny side of things lightens the drudgery wonderfully at times. , I was so amused the other day at one of the high school boys. It was the hour when I have charge of the assembly room, tor in school girl parlance- herd the kids j and Fred had changed his seat and was doing a good deal of whispering in his new location. I suddenly started toward him with murder in my eye, intending to sternly order him to his own seat. But before I reached my destination, Fred was clear across the room and most diligently studying at his usual place of business. Noth- ing daunted, I started toward him again to administer my lecture, but again, upon my arrival, the bird was flown, and Fred was deeply interested in the dictionary. I retired behind the book case to hide my smiles, and in the work of the day straightway forgot the incident. But the end was not yet! For that evening I received through the mail a souvenir post card with these very suggestive words, 'And while she was chasing the boy round the room, she was chasing the boy round the room! The Boy. Make the most of your college life, Marian, for there is none like it. I love and enjoy my work, but it is not much like those years in dear old Grinnell, and I tell you I often wish that I might take my college course over again, for I feel that I could now appreciate everything in old I. C. as I did not when I was a part of it all. It is no fun to be 'ta has been, a used to was, what isn't. At any rate, I am trying hard to pass on to these young hopefuls a little of the Grinnell spirit, and not to disgrace my Alma Mater. My stern mentor, conscience, reminds me that themes galore are awaiting their weekly baptism of red ink at the hand of the cruel English teacher. I am so glad you are enjoying your first year at Grinnell, be glad it is your tirst, and not your last. Here's to you, and everybody and everything there. Yours lovingly, Corn WINTERS,,' l04. -lI3- EXCAVATIONS 4 ' A jocose county otticial, referring to a modest slab in a public building, remarked: You and l, --, havesthex privilege of reading our own names on a tombstone, and now tolbe asked to tell about our college days, seems like writing our own obituary. But even that may be possible under the transmigration theory. We trust that your rules of 'fhigher criticism will determine to what age our sojourn belongs. Tritles make up the sum of human life. The comparative quantity of oxygen in the air we breathe oft determines the smile or the sigh, The tritles together make the composite picture, but each separate eludes description or narration. Few of us in those days deserved an ln Memoriam for an epitaph, nor yet was any one avowedly the modern counterpart of Iago. The writer's lot was cast among the plebeians. His low-rooted den did not admit the poetry of existence, and rubbed the funny bumps from his mental dome. He was given the impression that there was more grindstone than moonshine in life. He belonged to the age when every open-mouthed Freshman was regaled with the fading, but growing, details of the cyclone. He recalls the merry-eyed Moses who used to hug and flunk the Fresh- men twe said many. And it also came to pass in those days that two sons of Belial in our class compelled the callow country parvenu to do his devotions on the iron-bound path of the Iowa 4 Central. Memory reports his name as Grapes, And there were wedding invitations in those days, honest enough to request your ,bresenzfs at the door. Vainly did they call forth the detective instincts of the powers that be. Some less serious minded, how- ever, half surmised that those powers Hwinked the other eye. lt was then that Happy Jim, already with a cluster ot tradition about him, was elected president of the Freshman class, and in his inauguration address declared that it was the finest Freshman class of which he had had the honor of being a member. One morning a part of Scripture was read containing the state- ment that the horse is a vain thing for strength. During that day a plodder stumbled through his Latin translation, when the presiding genius inquired about that Scripture passage. The shaft struck home. With the swiftness of thought the mine of Dutch wrath exploded, and only the disavowal and apology of the Prof repaired the breach. The wise men of the Chapel rostrum one evening had their pictures taken by the Grinnell Institute Society. It was a moving picture entitled The Mock Faculty Meetingft and Bobbie's shades whispered o'er the heather, O, wad some power the gittie gi'e us To see oursel's as others see us. ANTHONY TEPASKE. DAYS THAT WERE Have you all a Scarlet and Black Corner? l wonder? Mine bears many nicnientoes of days that were,-pictures of college scenes, frolics, people and organizations, orchestra, glee club, edi- torial boards, track and foot ball teams. These reminders of student experiences make the years slip back to September, 1892, when to our class in turn was sung' that comforting refrain, Wait a little longer, Freshie, - Till your'little wings are stronger '. We waited, but not long. That tirst spring, Ninety-six began to make itself recognized as a worthy foe in track athletics. The present day Rev. P. H. Henry, Qwho was at iirst numbered with our classj because of his prowess on the race track gained his nick- name of Chief Running' Walk, used first when he led his Ninety- six tribe of braves and squaws out to Davis' barn to hold Indian pow-wow one dark November night. ln '94 and '95 the Grinnell football team were champions of Iowa. ln '95 its manager was our always self-controlled H. H. Stipp. During both seasons its captain was our quiet but capable Harry C. Willard. Our enthusiastic Clint Harris tbetter known as Doc j was fully as forceful in action on the gridiron while holding the pig-skin in his unyielding grip as in action on the stage while sharpening his knife to cut the pound of flesh from nearest Antonio's heart. Both of the latter have now entered that profession whose aim is to lessen pain and postpone death, the one in Chicago, the other in Grinnell. Lee Blodgett Cnow digni- fied as Prof. P. L. Blodgettb was another of our unconquerables on the same team, as well as C. E. Lynde, now of the Des Moines Registerand Leader. But Ninety-six was soon recognized in other attainments as well as in athletics. ln oratory and debate, H. H. Stipp, G. J. Piersol and H. V. Pailor were frequently heard from. Today these three are lawyers. Of our class members particularly interested in journalism nine years ago, at least two have become prominently connected with the editorial profession in Iowa-P. W. Norris, of Marshalltown and J. P. Gruwell, of Maquoketa. Others have entered active business lite, many are engaged in educational work, many of our girls are home-makers today. l raise my eyes and see the serenely-pictured brow of our Portia in Junior Play days. Can it be a decade since ne carried out tto quote from college-paper comments prior to our public presentation of The Merchant of Venice j 'that rather ambitious plan of pre- paring for public rendition one of the Shakespearian dramas? But in those aspiring days, only we Juniors knew with what trepidation we undertook that play-for then the Dramatic Club was unborn, and up to that time only the regulation Junior Annuals had been issued. Traditions of the excellent rendition of Sophocles' 'tElectra and other joint-society productions had set a high standard of ama- teur acting in college circles. Could we Juniors keep up that standard? Some of us knew we both could and would, others were not sure. Many and harrowing were the class meetings held -IIS- in Blair Hall, where the odor of sulphuric fumes emanating from near-by laboratories time and again seemed only the natural result of our heated discussion. But at last we decided Jo present the play. The faculty graciously permitted our list of chosen actors to take part, a competent elocutionist tfor then we had no Department of Public Speakingl was engaged to perfect our amateurs, rehearsals became the order of the day, the date set for the play was announced,-and then we trembled. How jealously did we guard our Portia, Nerissa, and Jessica from sudden draughts in ill-venti- lated class rooms! How eagerly did we drink in the generous praise accorded our embryonic Irving and Julia Marlowe when the reporters privileged to attend dress rehearsals convincingly assured the public that fame before the footlights certainly awaited our impressive Shylock and sweetly-dignified Portia! And with what a fine air of unconcern did we stroll into NlcConnell's drug store on that Hrst morning of the seat sale and casually observe that almost all the seats were already sold! The very audacity of our attempt to present this drama created an intense interest in surrounding towns, as well as in Grinnell. On that damp March evening when we picked our way through the mud and up the dirty stairway leading to Preston's Opera House, we found that the dingy old building sheltered one of the most magnificent audiences ever assembled in Grinnell tso the reporters expressed ity. On that evening, too, the Amphion Orchestra, under the direction of Prof. R. G. Cole, made its first appearance, I and scored a decided triumph. The faded paint of the galleries was hidden under festoons of scarlet and black bunting. ln front of, and above the stage, our class color, orange, reigned supreme. When the curtain rose, we held our breath. But all doubts quickly vanished, and when, amid thunderous applause, the curtain fell on the first act, the success of our venture was certain. The intense earnestness of the climatic court scene brought the audience to an exact reflection of the emotions enacted on the stage., Every spec- tator was sure that Shylock's sudden change from the exultant, fawning, cruel Jewish usurer to the broken-spirited old man showed dramatic ability close kin to talent. Each actor again moves across the stage of memory today,-the calm, dignified Antonio in sober black velvet, the passionate spendthrift, Bassanio, in rich blue and gold, the witty jester, Launcelot, convulsing the audience by his counsel with conscience, the mercurial Gratianog the calmly judi- cial Duke, whose deep voice exactly suited his roleg the keen-sighted, pantomimic Nerissa, ever loyal to that Hunlessoned girl, Portiag and last of all that 'tmost beautiful pagan, most sweet Jew, whose rich oriental coloring and yellow and white robe helped to confirm the poet's words, as she halted between love and duty, leaning ever toward love. On that night how little did any of us dream that our Jessica was acting this very part on the stage of her own life! Again creeps over us a thrill of horror as that calm September Sabbath morning of our Senior year revives in painful memory, when the shock of -116- this dear friend's tragic death came to us. The full depth of sad- ness in her story we may not know. Her almost incomprehensible courage and constantly cheery disposition now seem to us mar- velous. We loved her with a love that was not misplaced. Today we remember in tenderness her expressive dark eyes and her always gentle, lovable words and ways. This real tragedy could not fail to leave its impress upon us. The girls of the class were drawn particularly close to one another in that last year together. Often we met for an informal good time, and always at these little gatherings our blithe-voiced, sunny- haired Dora was foremost in the fun. We felt sure that the fates had singled her out to be an especially happy home-maker. And so it proved, only her stay on earth was all too brief. We can hear again her sweet contralto voice resounding through the quiet church as she sings Dudley Buck's perfect musical setting of a poem she always loved, Crossing the Bar? All unwitting of the ttoo soon, it seems to usa fulfillment of those words, her voice rises clear and pure, And let there be no sadness of farewell when 1 embark. Three summers ago she quickly answered her Pilot's one last call. One other member of our class-shy but faithful Ben Heald-has left earth since we passed out from college doors. The Senior year with its special responsibilities and privileges nears its end. Easter recess has passed, and already some of our number have received appointments for the year to come, while others know nothing definite as to their future. With feigned -'ll glee we chatter in Sophomore presence of our swift coming freedom from college routineg yet we cut chapel less often that last term than any other, and on Friday mornings when we see Prexy on the chapel platform and hear his strong message to every soul eager to serve his fellowman, we vaguely wonder how we shall feel when the next September comes, and no chapel uplift is ours. We find that Senior appreciation of field-meet is less hilarious than Freshman, but more intenseg yet we cheer the victorious Juniors lustily, striving to hide our real feeling. Later on that evening we join the bon-Hre crowd on the north campus, until it breaks up into solid couple strollers, bewitched by the young Nlav moon. Delightful class parties at hospitable faculty homes, merry picnics on the banks of Sugar Creek or even to the banks of the lowa, now entice us the more as we see the end of such social co-ed pleasures approach. Somnolently we take down the closing lectures in Philosophy and German, wearily we complete and hand in the last exacting English paper-for the Hrst class in lowa College to receive degrees under the Group System must not do indifferentwork. Seriously we now begin to realize what these four years of inspiring contact with high-purposed, self-sacrificing instructors have meant to us. Under the catalpa trees in those warm afternoons hinting of reg- ulation Commencement heat we gather tquite by accidentl to dis- cuss class day plans,-and after-plans fitting for Senior men and maids. Senior chapel morning' dawns auspicious. We assemble 7- in lnstitute Hall to form in line. We hear the steady tread of Freshmen and Preps as they tile in totake seats below. We almost want to cry out, Would that we too were but.Preps today! The hum of conversation below grows louder, andvwegknow that the Juniors must have entered, attired in smart white duck suits with 1897 blazoned to the world in class color across their caps. For a moment we feel as if the waiting audience is as tickle as the mob of monarchical countries, that cries out in one breath, The king is dead! Long live the kinglt' But Ninety-six is not dead yet, as Frank Trigg speedily proves by rushing up the stairs late and breathless. Flinging his cap to the opposite windows with one hand while he mops his brow with the other, he gasps out, A mirror, quick! Somebody! Philan- thropic comrades rush to his aid in semi-heroic style, whereat Win, the irrepressible, exclaims, Weill lf this isn't the most kiddish lot of Seniors l've struck yetlt' Already we can hear the introductory chords of the organ march to whose accompaniment we are to enter. We compose our fea- tures to what we consider the appropriate degree of dignity demanded by the occasion, and descend in fairly good order, considering that the boys frequently tread upon the skirts of preceding girls who are too excited to think of lifting a trailing gown. Once inside the chapel, however, all hilarityvanishes. Genuine solemnity sways us all. When the audience rises to join in that strong and dignified Senior hymn Ccomposed by Alice, the philo- 8 I sophicalj not every hand that holds the printed words can keep from trembling, nor can every cheek keep from paling as with shaky voices we try to sing the words: Out on the Deep, the future calls today,- The Deep of life,- Where countless throngs have made their pathless way A ln peace or strife. Our Father, God, Thy blessing we implore V ' As we depart, returning. now no more. Out on the Deep? So soon to drift apart ln Waters Strange, When unknown years shall try each peaceful heart With 'ceaseless change, Our Father, guide where'er the pathway leads, Till faith is sight, and dreams and hopes are deeds. For the last time we hear, an unbroken circle, the benediction in chapel. Then we pass out into the sunshine and glad chatter of the June college world. The first wrench from our college-mother has not been easy. The whirl of Commencement events following is a familiar story to all who have been Seniors at Grinnellg to all who are yet to be Seniors there, the experience will come. Only those who have passed through that surge of conflicting feelings which inevitably rises round every earnest new grad's heart as he makes ready to sail out on the deep, can fully appreciate what Commencement really means. MYRA E. NlANN1NG. NORRIS HOUSE DOINGS PROLOGUE. The last strains of All Ah Want ls Nlah Chicken, sung with due regard to pathos and expression, and of Darktown ls Out Tonight, had died away from the front steps of the Norris house. The members of Delav-an's iustly famous cornet band had con- cluded the regular midnight concerto which had caused Prexie Gates to stir uneasily in his peaceful slumbers. From across the street the hammock ropes had ceased to protest under a double burden. The ripples of feminine laughter had died away and all was quiet in the swing on the back porch. It was evident that the Pettit house had settled down to a few hours of rest before the inevitable rounds of recitations commenced again. The glorious moonlight of the early autumn brooded down upon a scene of peace, but not for long. Nlelons were ripe, and there were those in the house who had love for melons. Only the night before they had been driven in confusion from a farmer's Held. Should this disgrace happen again? t'Not on your tin type said the Norris house. SCENE I. Sundry dark figures creep out on the veranda and speed hastily up the sidewalk. There are several of them, and as they pass under the electric light on the corner, the shadows of laundry bags are cast in wavering shadows before them. They hasten up the street and turn east across the campus. Guess we won't do much to the old man to-night, comes soffo wee from a tigure with red gold hair which is unmistakably the peculiar asset of Eldridge. The tall ngure in a green sweater next to him gives vent to an unmistakable Tom Higgs chuckle. 'tGoll, says the third, the expletive identifying him as Snider, hero of many track meets, and I should say so remarks Van Dyke. . Along the path behind scurry hurrying footsteps, announcing the presence of Gussie Strauss, rather unwilling to go but still more unwilling to be left behind. There is another hasty movement back at the Norris house. Two more figures emerge. 'l'h.it tall slender form is surely that of f'Babe Roberts, and those artistically curved lower limbs can be- long to no other than Crandall. They hastily mount bicycles and speed away. As they pass under the telltale electric light, the shadows of two shot guns are thrown before them. They turn eastward and disappear, bending far over their handle bars. SCENE ll. Whisperings and rustlings are heard in Farmer Blank's corn field, out by Snow's corner. At length, and with great caution, the roseate head of Eldridge appears from amid the corn stalks, and casts a halo about the tield as he reconnoiters. Coast's clear, -llJ- fellows, he announces. Right through the barb wire fence and here we are. W There is no hesitation on the part of the gallant Norris house push. Gussie is left in the road on guard, and soon nothing is heard but the sound of ripe melons dropping into laundry bags. - Goll, whispers Snider, Prime, 'VX Oh yah, prime responded Eldridge, as he snips off ajuicy one. Bang , Bang , from a sheltering shock near by. -There is a hurried scattering, a sound of tearing in the barb wire fence, a patter of footsteps in the road as Gussie breaks for cover, and silence. Two figures appear, tiring their shot 'guns at intervals. Van Dyke is discovered badly mixed up with the barb wire, and is taken into camp. He glances closely at his captors and subsides into subdued rumblings. Eldridge is discovered crouched behind a particularly small musk- melon. Come out of that, demands a rasping voice. Eldridge comes out. There are signs of agitation about his knees. The rasping voice begins an interrogation, but subsides into smothered chuckles. A Well, now you're hot marks, aren't you, comes in exasperated tones from the captive. ' SCENE III. Time, next day. Place, Norris house front porch. CRANDALL: Well, were the melons thick, fellows? ROBERTS: Yes, how about that. We had been hoping you would give us some. Pretty tight you fellows are, it seems to me. ENGELKE: Seems to me like you might loosen up a little bitf' QAppreciative laughter from thosb who are next. Victims squirm visibly.j HIGGS: As one who defends himself, lt's a good thing they 'didn't catch up with me. I can tell 'em that if they want to know it. ELDRIDGE, tbitterlyj: Yes, T. J. here ran two miles and then turned round and said he'd tight before he'd go another step. HIGGS, tangrilyj: Well, that's better than hiding behind a melon anyhow. SNIDER: You fellows needn't talk. Iguess l'm the only one with a kick coming. l lost my glasses getting through that fence, and just look at this eye. tSounds of muffled explosions from Crandall and Roberts cause victims to look up hurriedlyq HIGGS: Well, I thought it was you fellows all the time. SNIDER: Goll. Eldridge rolls on the porch in paroxysms of laughter. CSounds of appreciative mirth come from the Pettit house.J EPILOGUE. Farmer Blank, the next morning, comes out into his melon patch. He notes divers laundry bags of many colors dangling on his barb wire fence. B'gosh, Nlirandyj' he remarks. The Lord will provide. Here's that calicer dress of yours that ye've ben a'wantin' ben fetched by ravens in the night. -120- There, Freshman boy, don't cry, You're homesick and sad, l know, And the Sophomore blows, On your youthful nose, Are not of long ago. But swallow the lumps with your cottage And there, little boy, don't cry. There, Sophomore boy, don't cry, Though you're snubbed and neglected so, And your proud soul fears All the Seniors' sneers At the heaps that you think you know. But harmless conceit will soon pass by, So there, little boy, don't cry. CONSOLATION There, Junior boy, don't cry, You're the drudge of the school, l know, 'Twixt your Annual Board And the one adored, You are constantly on the go. Pie But Senior electives will soon come by, So there, little boy, don't cry. There, Senior boy, don't cry, Four years are too short, l know, And the Goblin snares of financial cares Will get you if you're too slow. But there's plenty of fun in the Bye and Bye, So there, little boy, don't cry. -121- HANNA T. NOLLEN, '04 A THE DRAMATIC CLUB: ITS EARLY DAYS,,, The individual impulse or inception of what afterward became the Dramatic Club was only a minor incident in its history. lt really began some years before it was born, inctwoxpretty distinct impelling forces. The Hrst was the established custom of college dramatics, chiefly under the watchcare of the four college societies, reaching back into remote history, and offering such tangible encouragement in the way of performances as the 'tElectra, The Professor's Discoveryjt The End of the World, and As You Like ltf' The second was the course on the drama given by Pro- fessor Whitcomb. It is certainly safe to say that the training in the judgment upon dramatic values, which was one of the best services rendered by these courses, has done much to maintain the generally high standard of material selected for presentation during the last eight or ten years. Professor Whitcomb always wanted to see a dramatic club in full swing in lowa College, and he used to have a particular hankering to see such a club present the Shoe- maker's Holiday. lt was a worthy wish. Perhaps it may yet be brought to pass. Our principles and program were in keeping with the serious- ness of our general idea. Nobody was to be urged to join the club. Our membership was to be limited. Our doors were to be besieged by eager applicants for admission, who were to be kept waiting for a dignified while and then for the most part rejected, and the favored youth chosen for admittance was to be impressed with the thought of the sacrifice of service, and what a lot of time and work was going to be demanded of him. We were to study the drama. That was our central purpose. Reading, writing, discussion, research in severe and frequent quantities was to be our lot and portion forever. Presentation was only one item in the program of study, and like the marriage bond, not to be lightly -122 entered into. At first we had no officers except a historian to record our achievements. Later, when dues were instituted in the interest of the library, we had a treasurer. Notwithstanding our stern insistence upon the comparatively minor place of presentation in our general plan, our first produc- tion practically monopolized our time and toil for the Hrst half- year. lt was to be the evidence to the great outer world of our reason for existence. The strenuous life of rehearsal, and the con- struction of a fearful and wonderful stage in the old chapel were merrily gone through with. Then came the play. l wonder whether S'weez'Lewemie1' ever had such a production in all its phe- nomenal runs. There were many ragged ends, but our enthusiasm ignored them, and our audience was good-natured. President Gates grinned like a proud father whose youngster had done some- thing bright. Professor Whitcomb looked quizzical but not hope- less. Professor Nollen gracefully forgave the sentimental passages and our gingerly handling of them. Professor Cole with his sensi- tive soul squirmed a little, but stayed to the end. And the stu- dents were properly impressed. Our financial surplus was one dollar, and we spent it for a scrap-book in which to paste com- mendatory press notices. Our one other public effort was The Intruder, wherein zeal out- ran discretion, and the voice of the prompter was heard in the land with a sad persistence. This is the chronicle of the Dramatic Club for the first year of its existence, as it looks to one who has been out of it for five years. The best thing about amateur dramatics is that its partici- pants are amateurs, that is lovers of the work they are trying to do. Anfd therefore the audience is always prepared to forgive a great deal and to temper its justice with kindness. J. M. OWEN, 1900. Alumni rganizatiuns The General Association.

ROBBINS. , CHARLES EDWARD FISHER, in whom every Iowa College student and alumnus is interested, was born in Chester Center, Iowa, April 14, 1878. His early education was largely obtained in the public schools of Grinnell, except during two years which he spent in Indianapolis when between fourteen and sixteen years old. Returning to Grinnell at sixteen he entered the Academy, graduating from there in 1895. In the fall of 1895 he entered Iowa College and received his A. B. from Grinnell in 1899. He never was especially active in athletics except as all small boys are, in baseball, etc., until his freshman year in college when he began to train for track work under the guiding hand of J. P. Watson. So rapidly did he come that he won the high hurdles in the home meet, taking second place in the low hurdles also. In his sophomore year he also took the hurdles at the home meet, and at the state meet cap- tured lhe low hurdles in the fast time of 26 1-5 seconds, which still stands as the state record. In his junior year he won the high hurdles and took second in the low hurdles at the state meet. In the fall of '98'he played left half on the Varsity football team with Fred Spaulding as his companion half. That team probably had the fastest pair of halfbacks Grinnell ever had. The team was beaten only once that fall, Drake winning on an icy field by a score of 16-18. Nlin- nesota was beaten by a score of 16-6. III the spring of his senior year Fisher won the 220 yard dash and both hurdles, breaking the -124- state record in the high hurdles. He went to Chicago with Grin- nell's team to the Western Intercollegiate Meet, and ran a dead heat with Pat O'Dea of Wisconsin and McLean of Michigan in the high hurdles in the fast time of 16 1-5. In 1899-1900, after graduating at Grinnell, he taught Latin in Orchard Lake QMich.j Military Academy, having charge also of all their athletics, coaching the football and track teams. The years of 1900-1901 and 1901-1902 were spent in Harvard, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1901 and M. A. in 1902. He entered the fall handicap meet, winning the high hurdles, also winning the same event in the Harvard Spring Collegiate Meet and second place in the University Meet. ln the spring of 1902 he made the Harvard track team, and in the Harvard-Yale Dual Meet won his H, the only Harvard emblem ever won by a Grinnell man. ' From the fall of 1902 till the spring of 1904 he taught in the East Division High School of Milwaukee, where he also had charge of football and track coaching-the football team being scored on only twice and winning the city championship for the Hrst time in -125 seven years. The track team won the city and state championships and third place in the Western interscholastic Meet at Chicago. The track team of 1904 won the city championship, losing the state championship by only one point, and took second place in the Western lnterscholastic Meet at Chicago. ln the fall of 1904 he entered upon his duties as Athletic Director and Graduate Manager at Grinnell under rather trying conditions. Football material was noticeable largely for its greenness, Captain Auracher being the only member of last year's team left, and every one feeling that the loss of Jack Watson had knocked the bottom out of things. But under his faithful service we have had a fairly satisfactory year-not so much in winning games perhaps as inthe purihcation of athletic traditions. Mr. Fisher's discipline has at times seemed severe to some of the athletes, but, though sacrihcing Grinnell's immediate interests in many cases, his policy has been a benetit to our athletic interests, as will be apparent in the future. Grinnell has faith in Mr. Fisher as a trainer, and expects him to bring us honor. P. E. s., '94. Diary of at Freshman Girl j April 6th.-Back to work again. It rained all day and my new oxfords are just soaked. Went to chapel as usual and saw the Iowa College Sheet, gotten out by Risser and Muyskens. Some fine roasts on the faculty. April 9th,-We Shack girls were having a regular hoe down to-night at a hen party, when some boys threw ahen in through the window. Scared us a little. Heard the boys who did it had a fine roast afterwards. April 13th.-Have been to a baseball game with Davenport, for a change of excitement. April 16th.-Talk about feeling good! We Freshies beat the Senior girls at basket-ball to-day all to nothing. It was a glorious game and lots of people were there, especially boys. lu the even- ing I visited Chresto where they had a trial and found Risser guilty of publishing that Iowa College Sheet. I really believe he did it, too. ' April 18th.-Got to German class early this morning and when Miss Denise came in you should have heard her shoes squeak. I imagine they are new. April 19th.-Almost forgot to write to-day. Chief event was that Prof. I-lorn sprung joke No. 7 t?j in Minor Latin class. I laughed of course, although I don't see the point yet. Was over at the Lib at 11:15. Roscoe Brown was reading there when Dr. Steiner came in the door. You should have seen -j-6- Roscoe hike through the window. Guess he must have been cutting class. . April 20th.-While coming to chapel I stopped and helped Miss Manning pick up some sticks on the campus. I really think she is doing a good work. I April 21st,-Most of the boys of the Required English class cut this afternoon and went down to Wire's and celebrated. I wish I was a boy. April 22nd,-We had the jolliest party at Miss Douglassls to- night. It was given for us basket-ball girls and of course 'O7'ers were the chief interest. The Mrs. J. P. Watson band played some very touching music. Visited Caloca in the afternoon. It was a Senior program and a sort of Browning affair. Idoubt if he was guilty of much of it though. April 23rd.-Such a grand time. We just won the Fresh.- Soph. meet. The Sophs scared us a little as we didn't think they were any good at all. All our class wore red caps. Ihad an awful time to rind mine. It was in the attic in an old box. My room-mate is an '06, you know. Of course it rained before the meet was over and just soaked the '06 girls' parasols. They had them decorated in their colors, blue and white. April 24th.-Went to Vespers and sat behind Dad, Irish, Fill and Todd Wondered how they happened to get so good. To-night I went for a stroll as usual and got back to the Shack about 105 found Mrs Berry waiting in the hall. Some more girls got in about the same time, so we lined up and took a lecture on Sunday night dates. Wish l'd gone up the fire escape too. April 25th.-Heard that Prof. Smith and Prof. Rusk were called up for girling. Callingups seem to be in the air. April 26th.-Was in the library to-day when Mr. Douglass came up to talk. He said the new library was started. Come to End out, he, Grace and Adah had each dug up a shovelful of dirt. Prof. Boodin gave the benediction. April 27th.-Busy times. Just got home from a Hne organ recital by Mr. Clarence Dickinson. Was terribly afraid the organ would lose all its wind, but it behaved beautifully. April 28th.-Had a serenade by the Glee Club. We fed them ,147- some fudges so they sang us two selections, ?'The Soldiers' Fare- well and Rags, l heard that those boys who cut English class were called up before Dean Nlain. Guess they wish they hadn't cut. April 29th.-All my future pleasures are vanished since chapel this morning. Dean Nlain showed the evils of Co-Pedestrianismf' l always have rather enjoyed it. Suppose l'll have to join the Old Maids club now. April 30th.-Have been to Home Nleet all afternoon. '05 got first, since they let Mr. Trigg run. The Seniors had a big parade and all wore big Honor G's. They had a cow draped in purple bunting and sang a song about it. They also had a band which made quite a hit, but the bloomer relay race was the funniest. There is a young lady named Florence, Who, if the rain fell in torrents, lf Whitcomb should give her an A, lf Nlelba should sing here all day, If pennies to dollars should grow, lf clad in tine satins she'd go, lf all the world were in a flurry, Yet never, oh never, sheki hurry.

Nlay 2.-Danger sign on Ruggles House aroused much apprehen- sion today. Fay was the victim, but on investigation the case was pronounced harmless but incurable. Nlay 3.-Lost the baseball championship at Ames today. Com- mittee for Senior play has turned down 'tDevil's Disciple, so DeWitt will have to find another. Nlay4.-Spring is surely here! '03 fountain thawed out, spouted quite extravagantly today, perhaps in honor of Miss Nlanning's party at the church supper, unexpectedly chaperoned by Nlrs. B. Lecture tonight by Nlr. Thomas E. Green. Nlay 5.-Mr. R. wants us to give Othello but DeWitt thinks it is too heavy. Nlay 6.-Lost the Nebraska game yesterday but made it up on Cornell today. Band gave a concert afterwards on Blair Hall steps. Everyman is the latest in the Senior play line. May 7.-Dual meet with Drake. Sophs had a breakfast, or, to be more exact, a dinner at Arbor Lake. Thanks to goodness, the play has been decided, Arms and the Man, and this is final! Nlay 8.-Rained all day, but then, it's good for college traditions. We has beeners of the '04 Annual Board have gingered up, as Crowley says, and there may be doings yet. Nlay 9.-Our scheme worked beautifully, the 'OS Board never suspected a harmless old Senior was lurking in the closet, armed -132- with note-book and pencil. Cheer up! We'll have an Annual yet! Nlay 10.-Got my part all learned in Arms and the Man, but there's some talk of changing the play now. May 11.-All kinds of ministers in town and fountain showed off beautifully. Irving looked rather dejected today. Hear he attempted the downfall of Greece, the overthrow of Turkey, and the breaking up of China at the Girls' Club today, but Hnally retreated to Wire's. Nlay 12.-Talk about Senior privilege! yes, the blessed privilege of work. No play in the English language is good enough for us, so four of us are translating Die Journalisten on the lightning express, ten minutes off for meals, and rest while you work. Hope to stop off and see Grinnell again soon. lf the class will only want it when we're done! Nlay 13.-Nlay Festival. Quite an excitement on campus after chapel. Crowley Cole-Hand-organ-Monkey Corporation made a rich harvest off the Faculty. The license was pretty high, Crowley says, so that accounts for his unusual energy, but he always was good at working the Faculty. lt was a study to see how the different Profs. took it. Boodin giggled, Dudley S. blushed, Drixon beamed, Prexie frowned and took the little ape of American Commercialism home to Theodore. Nlay 14.-Dual Nleet with Ames. Big times at the cottage and muddy 'footprints on pillows. Didn't have a very gay time at Senior Club because l didn't dance or play cards. The boys are getting expert in sewing as our coats will testify. Kate brought some napkins to hem and said they were her mother's. May 16. -The Dow Club got a good one on Maude Alexander and Ralph Lyman. I heard some one found a marriage license in Ralph's pocket. May 18.-The best joke happened on Spen today in Pol. Sci. l about ever heard of. lrle cut out of class and then absent mindedly came back in a few minutes and knocked. You should have seen his face when Prof. Wyckoff opened the door. May 19.-Nihil agens. May 20. Sophomore girls gave a farce at Caloca today, Mer- chant of Venice up-to-date. D May 21.-Picnics galore! Freshmen had a country fair and a crowd drove to lowa river. Pretty spoony crowd, l hear, but that's a good one for our Annual. May 23.-Hook and Ladder comedy turns to tragedy. Got one on The two Georges for the Annual. l'll advise Pauline and Viola to plan their breakfast picnics with boys' who will show up rain or shine. May 24.- Ye Gods and Little Fishes, such luck! What a chqf-dkeufvre our annual will bel A whole roll of '05 annual material in our possession! Crowley is a dear and worked it so cleverly they never suspicioned that while he was sympathetically helping the much distracted Adah look for the roll, it was already safely hidden under Mrs. Clarke's protection. Poor Adah! but Henry won't be hard on her and we'll copy what we want to-night at the Bailey house and return the roll to-morrow, so they won't be in suspense long. May 25.-lt rained but darkness is the friend of conspiracy. This secrecy is really an awful strain and l've grown suspicious even of my best friends, they ask such inconvenient questions. May 26.-Coming home to-night we met Minnie and Dick strolling and talking German in undertones. Finished the Annual and l feel almost young again. May 27.-Cecil took the copy to Marshalltown on a sand train this a. m. No one suspects a thing, l'm sure. May 28.-State Meet. Proof arrived and all is well. May 50.-Decoration Day. Students seemed unusually interest- ed in exercises. Minor Latin went en masse. The cyclones are all here safely, stowed away under Mrs. Clarke's bed, with instructions to be delivered to no one except Crowley or Cecil. lf they only don't kidnap the boys! May 31.-To-morrow the long expected twister will be let out. Imagine the stir it will make! But ldo wish the boys had let us have our way and called it the '04 Cyclone, instead of '05, for l'm afraid there'll be a scrap. -133' Two Georges planned a lark one day, A breakfast for four in the usual way, But the morning proved damp, And the boys feared a cramp, So the girls went alone to the lake that day.

Got my face scratched and my left eye is beginning to swell, but there's some consolation in the fact that we knocked some of the funniness out of those Buttinski seniors. Benny got his face battered up, Toole's minus a tooth and Bab, a black shirt. We didn't suspect a thing until Hank James and Crowley Cole began distributing dodgers at noon, announcing the sale of the '05 Annual Prospectus this evening. Then maybe you think we didn't get red-headed! Adah snatched some of the bills, and they called her Carrie Nation. The girls locked all the senior girls they could in their rooms, and we search- ed the town for the box of copies, but in vain. Then there was nothing left to do but to fight for our rights, so we put on old clothes and laid for them. About six o'clock the whole senior gang, minus girls, came sailing down the street in a farm wagon- then there was something doing. We charged on 'em, cut the horses loose, knocked over their old chariot Cwagon-tippers they call us nowj and got possession of most of the books in short order. Then it was to the death. Didn't stop to shake hands or observe Police Gazette rules, just hit where it was convenient and used a fist or foot as it came handy. Half the natives turn- ed out to see the show. Prexy heard the racket and came ,tear- ing down the street without a collar. He tried moral 'suasion for a while but it didn't work very well. One of the Buttinskies jump- -140 ed up on the wagon box and threw red pepper over the crowd. An innocent little freshy got his eyes so full of it he'll not be able to see straight for a week. I-rish got the oil can from the lab. but we couldn't get the glim started. Finally Prex got the girls of both classes up on the wagon with him, and they gave college yells and sang college songs until we fellows quit hair-pulling and agreed to settle matters by an arbitration committee. Crowley, Bab and Benson for the seniors, and Templeton, Trigg and Alex Blather- wick for the juniors, discussed matters at some length in Chicago Hall. Prof. Johnson offered to add historical weight to the con- ference but was denied admission. Well, the boys decided that the seniors might go ahead and sell their books and that the genuine '05 cyclone should have no further obstacle placed in its path. Now that it's all over and we came out on top, the funny side begins to appear. Some of the side-shows would pretty nearly make a circus, with Laura Burns for the menagerie in captivity, and Helen Sayles and May Davis starringin the high-dive. Belden in the role of the obedient son played a very consistent part. The souvenirs given away will show up in great style to-morrow at chapel. l'm glad l got several, and if it hadn't been for Prex, we'd have given those seniors fifteen minutes of finish instead of one week of commencement. June 2.-The smoke hascleared away and a few straggling seniors have made their appearance. Blue eye is in vogue instead of pink eye. They say Van Evera has assumed a dreamy mood with visions of the shack haunting him. Fred and Fay completed their private 'phone today and same was dedicated with impressive ceremonies. June 3.-The genuine '05 cyclone struck at 6:30 p. m. andl had to strike three different fellows before I could claim mine. Ship- man's artists entertained while the Y. W. served ice-cream. Did anybody see Harry Worth's best picture? lt's lost, strayed or stolen. June 4.-The coloring came off the cyclone and l worked two hours getting the red tint from off my black trousers. Faculty picnic. Drix must have contemplated making a big hit, as l saw him in the crowd with an ax on his shoulder. June 5.-Sunday. Overslept. No breakfast. The girls at the shack got a good one on Miss Griswold last night. They locked her out and she had to rouse the house about midnight. While walking l chanced to see Henry Weber and George Blatherwick out in the country taking preliminary practice on the pipe of peace. June 6.-Glee Club tore loose on one of its characteristic sere- nades. Freshmen vs. Juniors, baseball, 'tComedy of Errors. Score, 22 to 8. F June 7.-Sat beside Emma Jo in English and took the following passage from her note-book: Love covereth a multitude of things. Annual Board took to the woods. Held a tournament, Solids vs. Free Lancers. Solids won out, l suppose, with such a strong backing. U June 8. Happened to get up early this morning.

They stole that wonder- fully carved statue that stood on the corner of 4th and West Street and gave one the cold creeps on the way home from a moonlight row, buried the Soph colors and set her on top as a tombstone. lt was all done during the night, but the Sophs got wind of it early in the morning and came over to investigate. Just as they began changing the '06 inscription to '07 to have the laugh on the Preshies, Drixon came along, took them for the culprits, gave them a lecture on defacing college property, and set them to scraping the paint off the sidewalk. But the Freshies' plan didn't work out so cleverly as they thought it would. The Sophs got into the chapel and took out all the memorial notices the Freshies had distributed in the hymn booksg then Dean Main gave them a big call-down at chapel time for class scraps at the end of the year. Prexy had the statue sent back, but the tombstone man was pretty much worked up about it, and wanted the whole gang arrested. The Freshmen may call themselves lucky if they don't have to go any farther than down in their pockets before they get out of the affair. June 9.-Nlilo's suit-case was seen today left on the shack porch, with instructions to be delivered at room Davenport l42 R Went to Prep commencement. Gee! but it is a verdant prospect for the class next fall. Prof. Horn made the hit of the day by not announcing the decision of the judges, but Prexy was Johnny on the spot to remind him of the fact. June 10.-Senior chapel was the only morning attraction. I went just to get on to the ropes. The Pow-wow came off this evening with l-lenry and George starring. June 11.-Baccalaureate sermon by Pres.

Let not the love of worldly gain Remove our hearts from Thee. May we not live our lives in vain: But help Thy Kingdom to maintain, Thy trustful children be. Our Father, may our lives express The peace that Thou dost giveg May we Thy holy Love possess, With service Thy dear name confess, And in Thy spirit live. HANNA T.

Freshman Boy's Diary Sept 11.-Just two more days before lleave for Grinnell. Guess it would be a good stunt to put down everything that happens there this year, sort of a diary, you know. Sept 12.-Well, l'm going around to say farewell to-night and feel kind of solemn for I don't suppose I'll see her again until Thanksgiving. Sept 13.-Here I am in Grinnell at last. Every thing looks about as I expected, except that the campus is pretty much torn up putting in new heating mains. Were a lot of fellows at the depot to meet me, tho' for the life of me I don't see how they knew I was coming. One fellow with a Y. Nl. badge on came into the coach before I got out and asked a very young looking couple if they were new students. They didn't seem to know what to do except smile and blush, but the fellow caught on and got out of there pretty quick. lthink his name was Crabb. One of the fellows wanted me to join a missionary class. Sept 14.-Registered and started to classes. Fellow came in to chapel with side-burns. Looked like a Scotch duke. People cheered and Side-burns made a handsome bow. Found out his name is Bleamaster. Suppose he is a Prof. Sept 15.-Y. Nl. and Y. W. had Hrst meeting' today and heard that girls stole all the chairs from Institute Hall. Sept 16.-Father saysa person ought to have at least three rules to live by, so l've drawn mine up. Here they are. -147 Ist. Don't let rules bother you. They're meant for the seniors. 2nd. Don't be caught studying. Your brain might get tired, and if you get Bred, it's home to the governor. 3rd. Let people know you're right here with the goods, and show them the hottest pace ever known in Grinnell. Went to men's reception to-night and a spread at Wire's after- ward. Sept 17.-The fellow I took for a Prof. was minus his side-burns today. Goto general reception tonight. Peaches and cream! You ought to see my girl. Certainly beats anything ever produced in Mason City. Sept 18.-Went to church today. Mighty long-winded preacher. Guess l'll hit the governor for 575.00 today and incidentally men- tion going to church Only a small spread at Wire's tonight. Sept 19.-Talk about sport! We caught a big husky soph they call Scrubby and staked him out to grass on Ward Held. Guess the scare made him daffy from the way he talked. Sept 20.-We certainly rubbed the sophs in the dirt this morn- ing. Found Irvine in a barrel tied up in a tree. They looked like two cents when we got through with them. Sept 21.-Everything pretty dead. Wish the theatre would open so I could give a box party and open the natives' eyes a little. Was studying at twelve o'clock tonight. Wish father could have seen me. Sept 22.-Nice day. Met a bunch of Gauley kids going after apples, but that's too tame for me. Sept 23.-All the Gauley kids got was a bad scare and torn trousers. McCormick got so excited he lost two suit-cases and a grin. ' Sept 24.-Went to a football game today. Beat East High 5 to O. Some josh about Swish and Ruth Roberts going shopping, but l'm not wise to it. Going for a ride with my friend tonight. Sept 25.-Peach ofa moon. .lust back from a stroll. Heard my lady friend say that Miss Kyle talked at Y. W. Sept 26.-Prof. they called Spooks led chapel today. Had a game foot, probably gout. Miss Trueblood got locked in Chicago Hall. West was hero on the spot to help her out of the window. Sept 27.-Crawled out of Eng. required today after roll-call. Sept 28.-Pretty slow today. Took my friend riding and then to Wire's. Fellow at the shack selling turnips today. The boys called him Prof. ' -148 . -is N 'wftffdl-N-5 N g 1 :vb I ' i - .llllljjlllljw V I X QNX? 1 .s k Q ...di -,Hi.uXAX' .

Nature is already decking herself in her glorious autumn apparel. Oct 3 -This evening was so beautiful that I took a little walk and accidentally met several couples. I trust they were not college students. ' , Oct 4.-This morning I met Prof. Noble wearing a straw hat. lt occurred to me that perhaps we were all a little too eager to cast aside our summer attire. ' A Oct 7.-I did not attend faculty meeting in order that I might go to the student mass meeting in honor of the football game with Cornell. Nliss Hopkins gave a splendid speech. On the way therel overheard a rather amusing remark. One of the seniors courteously asked a freshman if he were going to the mass meeting. The freshman quickly responded, 'tWell, I guess not! You can't fool me. I'm on to your hazing. Oct 8.-The game is over and the score resulted in a tie. The Cornell contingent seemed very evenly matched with our team. I do wish the young ladies would remember to be a little less bois- terous at the games. The faculty circle was delightfully entertained at Dr. Steiner's tonight. Oct 9. --We have had such a spiritual uplift all day. The Bible Institute has been in session and Dean Sanders of Yale led vespers. It was a stormy day and Nlr. Spencer was kind enough to bring umbrellas for the cottage girls. AOct 10.-The fountain was gracefully spouting this morning. It certainly is a charming addition to our campus. The Nladrigal ' -l l- Club of Chicago gave two such delightful concerts today. The young violinist was especially charming. Oct 11.-The American Board has at last assembled and we are enjoying the sessions of that distinguished gathering. How unfor- tunate it is that our campus presents such an unsightly appearance just now with our siege guns and trenches, as the president calls them. It is really chilly, too, without heat in the buildings. One of the students suggested that we burn the American Board. Oct 12.-The meetings are proving so inspiring and interesting. Nlr. Boynton, of Detroit, and several missionaries favored us with short talks in chapel Then in the afternoon we had a pleasant social affair. Prof. I-Iendrixson took the initiative in behalf of the faculty and students in tendering to our guests a reception at the ladies' gymnasium. It is indeed a privilege to meet such rare men as Rev. Francis Clarke, Pres. King, of Oberlin, Pres Northrop, of Nlinnesota University and Rev. Nlr. Hume of India. The affair, tho' a bit too informal, was quite a success. I met Nlr. NIcCandless' and Miss Parmelee's mothers. It is so pleasant to have them here at the same time. Oct 14, The town is quiet again. Our guests have departed, leaving behind them a clear .vision of the grandeur of foriegn mis- sions and the future possibilities waiting for this generation to actualize. Our Y. W. C. A. girls gave a delightful little fudge party this evening at the ladies' gymnasium. It is encouraging to see the , social spirit promoted among the girls apart from their brother students. Oct 15. The students are indulging in many social functions of late. The juniors had a picnic today. They selected rather young and inexperienced chaperons, but I trust all will be well. The freshmen held a formal party in the gymnasium. lt was de- lightful to see so much culture, and the refinement and formality of the occasion were unmarred save by the boisterous yelling of the juniors in the gallery after their return from the picnic. I cannot understand such utter carelessness and lack of responsibility on the part of upper class men. Oct 18.-We enjoyed a lecture by Dr. Hillis on Oliver Crom- well. He is a delightful man,-Dr. Hillis, I mean. Prof. Hen- drixson, l hear, had some difficulty in Ending the young lady whom he escorted. Oct 20.-Several of our Y. W. girls left for Ames this morning -unchaperoned, too, but it is so comforting to feel that there is no possibility of their conducting themselves in the least out-of- character. Oct 21.- Boys Welcome. This is the notice l was grieved to see posted today beneath the announcement of senior girls' club. The girls' senior club was organized as a girls' club, and I believe the original plan cannot be improved upon. It would be wise, I am sure, if the faculty would investigate this matter, limit the meetings to once a month, and insist upon the ten o'clock hour of departure. Miss Manning was in her accustomed seat at chapel this morn- ing. Her loyalty to Grinjnell is praiseworthy. Oct 22.-I hear Nliss Wiley entertained at a birthday party this evening. Roscoe Brown has returned after a weelds absence. l trust nothing serious called him home. Oct 23.- Pres. Gates led vespers today. lt is an inspiration just to see him again. l could not realize that six years of this strange thing we call time had sped by since we last heard him. Oct 24.-l met Nlr. Crowley Cole on the campus today. He told me he is now engaged in the jewelry business, butl think he is also otherwise engaged. There, l've made a pun without intend- ing it. 1 Oct 25.-Prof. Frampton made his debut in Grinnell musical circles this evening, giving a piano recital. From the comments l heard, his first impression was very favorable. j Oct 28.-Gov. Cummins led chapel this morning. The cot- tage girls entertain tonight at a Hallowe'en party. Oct 29.-The sophomores gave a ghost party --that is, dress- ed in sheets and pillow cases. lt was a trifle informal, but the students seemed to enjoy it. Oct 31.-It is so annoying! The bell clapper is gone and everyone has been late to classes. Such a childish prank for college students. -152- 926 Wndfssofubfe, d4l12zf:50!fa'af1'a12 Eonasolfdaifon WHEREAS, after years of experience in the fetters of solidity, we have at last become convinced of the evils of this phase of educa- tion so prevalent in co-educational institutions, WHEREAS, this injurious phenomenon has already gained many victims in our college, and is threatening, by its dangerous infec- tion, the young and inexperienced among us, WHEREAS, we believe it the duty of every thoughtful man to pro- mote with all his powers the ideal social condition, the universal brotherhood of mang We, the undersigned, with the best interest of ourselves and our institution at heart, do hereby solemnly and solicitously associate and consolidate, amalgamate and confederate ourselves into the lndissoluble Anti-Solidarian Consolidation, with the three-fold pur- pose ftj of rescuing those in the process of solidifying and those already hardened, Q25 of promulgating the doctrines of liberty, sol- vability and single blessedness, Q35 of increasing fellowship and friendship among men. ln order to devote ourselves unseltishly to this most worthy cause, we do hereby cheerfully and voluntarily subscribe our names to the following rules and regulations: ART. l.

Heard her say something about Miner Latin and getting into the wrong room. Wouldn't be surprised to hear of her wandering around Arbor Lake, hunting for the campas. November 3.-Don't teal very well and wish it was thanks- giving. November 4.-Heard some Boys jollying Bert Mills about being waked up in drama Class. Don't no what kind of a class that is but spose its sort of a farce for those intending to go on the Stage. November 5.-Big race at Shack tonite. Knowlton vs. Mouse.

Didn't have my latin so asumed a prayreful atitude, but Prof. thot I was going to sleep and it didn't work. , November 14.- Heard them jollying that Swan girl with white bushy hair about going to Spaulding's and turning on the electrick light insted of ringing the door-bell. Guess she felt pretty cheep, for she is a Seenior. But maybe they don't have electrick lights where she come from. November 15.-Had supper at the shack by candl-Light. Girls were all wondering how they were going to get reddy for the Roberson lecture. Had a son-rise prayre meeting this morning- but it was the girls that had it and l guess they didn't all get their. November 16. -Light out agin. Can't see to rite anymore. November 17.-Beny DeHann came for me to go to Y. M. Magee, state sec., led. November 18. -Went to peechy show, quincy adams Sawyer.

November 24.-Turkey. November 25.- November 26.- Hash. November 27. - Back again. Went to Vespers. Didn't do much singing. Maybe turkey fixed 'em like it did me. When l came out that pretty little Willard girl went up to Deen Main and said, 'fOld Boy. Guess she must no him pretty well-bet she never dances. November 28.- Seenior boys haven't shaved for awhile. They look like Hobos. November 29.-Table moving spirets at shack are the latest. Guess their must be something in it, for Mrs. Berrie and Sprague seam to think so. Seenior boys havn't shaved yet. They are a hard looking Bunch without putting on any extras. lheard the -15 seenior Girls are geting awfull mad. There getting up a subcsrip. to endow a Barber chair. November 30.-Big time over to Gauley house last night. Seeniors met tto decide wheather beards were to be or not to be l supposej and the Brascamps, aided by Nlrs. Nlulligan's goat, alias McBride, tied there door shut. When seeniors got out they pro- seeded to make things lively for the Dutch by throing a trunk thru thedoor. Pa Gawley came up and would have spanked Trigg, but the others jollied him up and voted him an honerary member of the class, instead. Expect there'll be Big doings tonite. 6 0 F - 'r.'5F .

Some Sophs and Juniors came over and wanted me to help them do the tonsorial act on some of the Seniors and you bet I was all there. We went down in the south part of town and fixed one, and then tackled the Rutherford I-louse. Brought two of them out to find out how cold the weather was, and then took them up to my room, where we fixed them up fancy- but they did put up a good tight. We sort of expected this would start the Seniors on the war-path, and sure enough about two o'clock in they came, thirsting for revenge and armed with bloody scalping knives. They caught two or three of the boys and clipped their foretops, but I was too slick for them. I went over to my ofhce in the library, and if the boys had only followed me I could have saved them all. The Seniors got into a pretty big scrape looking for Jake down at Zane's, but we had him fixed Senior-proof in our closet. I'm glad they didn't catch me, for the girls might not have liked my looks so well. Dec. 2.-Went over to the house tonight. Girls had been to Caloca initiation and told me all about it. Since the girls are all members now, I guess l'II have to have my name put on the honor- ary list. Bradley entertained the Seniors, so we had the house all to ourselves. The Senior boys turned down the girls, so they went alone. Wish I could have taken them all. Dec. 3.-Senior boys went to Bradley's in close formation dress parade.. Smooth faces are pretty common now. Guess I'll start a beard. ..H--. Boy's Diary Dec. 4.-I-I. and I had the house again last night-Senior Club down at Willard House, but they must have had a freezing time, for the boys presented the Gauley door-bill in class meeting, and voted for 'tsafety-razor pins. I heard some of the Ruggles girls cried, but I'lI go over and cheer them up. Albert Shaw gave a good chat in Vespers. Dec. 6.-Spoke in class meeting ,tonight on I-low to play basket ball, or the thoughts of a hero on the stage. We won't do much to those Preps tomorrow. Sweater is O. K. Glad I didn't get my hair clipped. Dec. 7.--Lost the game, but I knocked the wind out of old Tilton. Girls all said I played Hne. Wait till we get a chance at! the Seniors. Dec. 8.-Edith sprang an '06 cap today. I spoke to her about it and I guess it was a mistake. Dec. 9.-Going to a lecture tonight-LaFollette or some gun or other. Wish I could take two girls at once. Dec. 10.-Got beat to-day. Boys did not play at all. Y. W. bazaar to-night. Lot of things to buy, but I didn't get anything except pop-corn and candy for the girls. Ithinkl could have sold some things if they had asked me to do the auctioneering. Dec. 12.-Had a glorious game. Played all around the Seniors. I could not keep track of my baskets. Went over to the house, but girls had all gone to the recital. ., Dec. 13.-Main had a special chapel in the smoking room of Chicago Hall at 9 A. M. l went over to Buck's room just in time. Heard he held a session afterwards in the gossip parlor above. Dec. 14.-Won last game to-day. Had a party up at War- burtons to-night and girls all said l played great. Took up a col- lection to get accident insurance for Mac and May. Jardiniere broke, or something. Dec. 15.-Heard that' lrvine's girl froze both cheeks. Guess lrvin'e aint up to snuff. Went over to see the girls and Mudge Ruggles never put me out. Dec. 16.-Glee Club left this morning. Just wait until they get to my town. Students had a big mass meeting to get up some interest in the new chapel fund. Noble, Spaulding, and Jake spoke. l signed up for 525. We Sophs had a club meeting to- night. We're going to rent a room over Alley's. Dec. 17.-Chrestos got the debate to-night, but two of our fellows made the team. Dec. 18,-A mouse got after Mrs. Berry, but Stanton and De- Haan rushed to the rescue. Had aclub meeting afterwards. Room is Hxed up swell. Dec. 19.-Went up to see the.Preps beat the Juniors. This ties us with them. lt looks as tho' we would come out ahead. Dec. 20.--Freshmen beat the Preps all hollow, but wait till we have another chance at them. Dec. 21.-Packed my trunk, but can't go until to-morrow, as some of the girls aren't going until after midnight. ' Dec. 22.-Got home all right and have made dates for every night next week. Pa says to have the Glee Club up to dinner. Won't l though. -163'- Roscoe: What shall l get one of the girls for Christmas?', Verna: G, get her an lowa College spoon. Roscoe: No, l am that.

A Iowa University, Coe, XSimpson, ailowa University, CHAMPIONS OF IOWA, 1904---'05 Diary of the Jan. 1.-As it is the first' day of the new year, I am going to carry out my resolve of starting a diary, though for the life of me I don't see how IIII End time to keep it up. Attended church this A. M. and spent the rest of the day reading Hegel's Philosophy of Religion. Jan. 2.-- Came back to college a day early to do a little research work for the debate. Jan. 3.- Other students are arriving to-day, looking rested and infused with new vigor for hard work. I hope every one is resolved to do his part in maintaining the high standard of scholarship of this institution. I will endeavor to do my part. Jan. 4.-Work began to-day and no one but myself had pre- pared the Greek translation. I can't see what some students are coming here for. Jan. 5.-Attended a very tine violin recital by Mr. Heft, but had so much work waiting for me, I was too preoccupied to enjoy it fully. The music started me to thinking, however, and I wrote a poem entitled, the Wail of the Violin, and mailed it to the Atlantic Monthly. Jan. 6.-The President gave usavery optimistic talk in Chapel on The Present compared to a century ago. His arguments were rather one-sided, I think I could debate the other side of the ques- tion and get the better of-him, and yet, as I said to Miss Roberts after Chapel, they didn't have us a hundred years ago. I stopped to talk with Miss Howat, who is visiting here, and missed eighteen minutes of my Greek study period, but I stayed up until 12:15 to make it up. The Glee Club went to Centerville to give a concert. The Iowa College Grind -168 Central was on time and the way some of the fellows sprinted re- minded me of cinder paths and balmy May Saturdays. Jan. 7.-Attended Senior Club at the Ruggles house this evening. We all dressed up as old folks, and I hardly knew myself, I acted so frivolous. Perhaps I have neglected the social side too much, and when this debate is over, I will try to attend Senior club more regularly. The old '05 Animal Board had a reunion and kept a very late hour. Some of the Sophomore boys of our house disturbed me by coming in late, after a banquet held over McMurray's. What is this school coming to? Jan. 8.HAttended Church and heard a very instructive sermon on The Prodigal Son. I am going to be more faithful in my Y. M. work hereafter, and strive to interest more of the boys in the Bible classes. Jan. 9.-Had to get up at 4:30 to finish my Greek. As I went past the Chem. lab. I saw Prof. I-Iendrixson help Barr's dog out rather unceremoniously. I don't blame him. Jan. 1O.- Miss Pisher gave a splendid recital this evening. Fortunately it was short, so that it did not interfere with my sched- ule of study hours. Jan. 11.-Forgot myself in Chapel this morning andin allowing my eyes to wander, noticed Miss Pettit wearing a diamond ring. She must get a big salary to afford such luxuries. Jan. 13.-Last night while taking a little recreation from the debate by reading Philosophy, I heard a bob-load of people go by. It was Miss Gardner's table at the cottage, Iguess. Pretty cold weather for the girls to be out. Jan. 14.-I didh't have time to attend the basket ball game, but Oskaloosa was not able to do much with our team. Ian. 15.-Nliss Miller's eye-lids looked very peculiar today, and appear very much as if frozen. Why will girls be so careless of their health. Jan. 16.-Two drops today, and I was thankful I had not been spending my time sleigh-riding and attending basket ball games, or I might have been tempted to look in my note-book as the fellow next to me did. Jan. 17.-The Seniors had a bob party tonight. lwas almost tempted to go, but duty and principles for bade, coming as it did on a study night. In class this morning Prof. Johnson began to tell a story and forgot the point. I was sorry I couldn't help him out That reminds me, my poem, The Wail of the Violin, was returned today, and I sent it to NlcClure's. Jan. 18.-It was disgraceful the way some of the Seniors failed in recitation this morning. It never pays to be unfaithful to daily duties. Jan. 19.-A crowd of the boys went to the show tonight. I may be too radical, but I cannot see young folks wasting precious time at these inferior amusements without protest. I hear several of the girls, even, nent in on free tickets. I must set my alarm for 4 a. m. to study for that bug quiz. Jan. 20.-Nlr. Cady delivered an inspiring lecture on Tennyson, for the benefit of the chapel fund. There should have been a larger attendance, but some one said there was a lecture at the armory, which interfered, but I hadn't heard of it. Jan. 21.-As I was walking up Park Street, I noticed that Prof. Smith was entertaining. Spent the day on work for the debate. -I0 9 Jan. 22.-Another sermon on the Prodigal Son, but I neglected to take notes. Spent the afternoon in meditation and rest. Jan. 23.-A number of students went to Oskaloosa to see Babes in Toyland Rather childish for college students, I would say. Our Political Science class was greatly disturbed by Ludlow NlerriIl's serving refreshments. llost several important points in consequence. Jan. 24.-Three exams. today and cold enough to freeze the mercury. Jan. 25.-Our Political Science class was again disturbed-this time by Rush Denise and a dog. It must be discouraging to the professors. Received back my poem and sent it to the Nlunsey. Jan. 26.-Burned midnight oil last night, and survived through two more exams. I sincerely believe the students are justiried in protesting against these semester examinations, which we are sup- posed not to have, theoretically. The arguments are clearly on our side. Jan. 27.-Mrs. Tinnin gave a reading, If I were King, forthe beneht of the chapel fund. I was glad to see such a large and appreciative audience. Jan. 28.-Our basket-ball team won a splendid game over Iowa City. Prospects are bright for the championship. Jan. 29.-After the hard mental strain of the week, didn't feel quite equal to listening to another sermon on the Prodigal Son. Was tempted to study for the exams. tomorrow, but refrained. Jan. 30.-Wish I had studied yesterday, as I wasn't at all sure of one of the questions in Philosophy. Jan. 31.-Two more exams. today, but these are the last. Think I will celebrate this afternoon bv reading some missionary books I have been wanting to for a long time, and start in tomorrow with new vigor for better work and less fooling next month. Received my poem back again, and think I shall hand it to the Unit. FAY'S- PASSWORD. Fay C.: O, let me into your annual board meeting. George C: All right, but you'll have to give the password.

Simply had to go to the dress- maker's this afternoon so as to have something to wear to Nlr. Smith's Glee Club reception. lt's to be a surprise on the boys and I think it will be great fun. This is the hrst day of the second semester and l have registered for all the snaps in school and only thirteen hours at that. 'Just received my ponies from the Faculty Farm. Feb. 2.-As l was going up to the Forestry lab. this afternoon l heard an awful barking and noise in the museum. lt was the chemistry dog, of course, barking as if he thought he had a whole menagerie up a tree. The ground hog saw his shadow today. Feb. 3.-This morning Prof. Buck gave a very interesting lec- ture on the history of the College funds. l am always interested in the way people get money, especially just at present. Guess l'll have to write and tell father 1 could use tive. Had the laugh on Oda, this afternoon when she brought her sewing to societyg the program consisted of a stereopticon lecture on Greek art. Claude brought a box of Huyler's this evening. About 9:30 we went over and watched the Chresto-Ellis affair. Feb. 4.-Never was so disappointed in my life. My new gown arrived from the modiste at tive o'clock, and in about ten minutes Grace came over to tell me that the Glee Club reception was off. The surprise certainly worked the wrong way, for it was the girls who were surprised at not being thereg but the boys couldn't under- stand why they were requested to wear dress suits. Claude spent the evening with me and tried to console me with the last Nlunsey's and the Saturday Evening Post. -171- Feb. 5.-Snow, snow, snow. At supper the boys were all jolly- ing and laughing about some fellow at Des Nloines. l don't know what it was but all l could hear was Valerius, Kirkwood and Li94.77 Feb. 6.-l just came home from a spread Mattie Ellis gave at Longshore's. I-lad a grand time but l'm desperately sleepy. Went to Nlrs. Berry's lecture this afternoon. Gee, I was glad that l was on the back seat for some of her remarks hit pretty hard. Feb. 7.-Trustees' meeting today. They were entertained to- gether with the Faculty at Frexiesf assisted by the Scrubs. Feb. 8.-l am afraid that the college traditions are being broken. As Claude and l were coming home from Wire's we met some of the younger members of the Faculty just leaving the Spaulding reception. I dont believe in people keeping such late hours. Feb 9.-Every one started singing in a different note this morn- ing in chapel because the organist disremembered to come. Came in pretty late tonight, because my father telegraphed for me to meet him at the midnight train. Spaulding reception this after- noon. Cut a class to go. Went to a show tonight but only stayed through the second act. 'Guess l'll go riding for half an hour be- fore seeking my downy nest. Feb. 10.-Judge Weaver of Colfax led chapel this morning. Glad l went., There were lots of parties tonightg Preps, Freshmen, and a Senior-Faculty reception at Dean Nlain's. Claude wore his new opera hat and looked so handsome. The Freshmen sent out bids to their prayer-meeting tonight, but only two or three came. Feb. 11.-No wonder there was no one at the freshman prayer- meeting last night. The 'secretary only put tc stamps on the invitations. The only excitement tonight was a basket ball game with Coe and afterward Hale and Oda entertained the seni-:rs at the library. We peeked in and saw Uncle Tom trotting Topsy and Little Eva on his knees, so we didn't stay long. Feb. 12.-My Peter Thompson suit came last night so l went to church today. The Shack board is cheering up, we had com- pany and salad for dinner. Ned wants me to come down to Iowa City for the Junior prom. l don't know whether to go or not. Guess l'll see what Claude thinks about it. Feb. 13.-Went tothe hotel for supper and sleigh riding after- ward with Claude. Mary just came in and told me that the Fac- ulty wrote each other valentines at Dow's. Some of them were too true to be flattering. Will have to go down and get the last Smart Set tomorrow so as to have something to read. Feb. 14.-Valentine remembrances have been coming all day. Ned sent me half a dozen Christy pictures and Claude brought me some American Beauties when he came to take me to Miss Wy- man's recital. Bought a lot of new music at the Cash Williams music store today, and am going to ask Lloyd up tomorrow after- noon to hear it. Feb. 15.-Fierce blizzard today. Three or four Professors and several students who were out of town Sunday are snow bound and can't get back. Even the Fellows House girls couldn't get home after supper, and this is the tirst night that Claude has miss- ed since September. Feb. 16.-As Claude and l were starting down town after our 1t:t5 class we met Miss Widney, the new Y. M. C. A. Secretary. The Willard House entertained for her to-night. Went strolling with Claude, after supper, but the door was left unlocked because my father telegraphed for me to meet him at the train. Feb. 17.-Du Bois missed his train and couldn't lecture to-night. Terribly untccommodating of him, as that wasagoodexcuse to get in lateq Went to the Des Moines-Cn'innell basketball game, in the afternoon. Constance Berry had her picture taken today, lwonder why? Feb. 18. - When l ran into the Library for a minute, this morn- ing, Ruth Roberts was explaining something to Floyd Swisher. Come to End out she was helping him prepare to lead class prayer- meeting, to-night. The Y. W. girls had a Sewing Bee this after- noon and elected their officers for next year. The program at the Caloca-Institute party was dandy. Cherrie Blossoms, Fall, read by Mary was very interesting. I was so glad to meet Maud's friend, there, because she comes from the grandest family. Feb. 19.-Have been reading Beverly of Graustark and planning a new party gown, to-day. Feb. 20.4 Census cards were handed out at Chapel this morn- ing. What fun. lt makes me feel like a tax payer. That reminds me, too, l'll have to write and tax father hfifty, I guess. ltold Dorothea, to-day, that she was the sweetest girl l had ever known and that l valued her opinion more than any girl's in school. Guess she believed me as they all do. Feb 21.-Mrs. Knowlton has lost a hyacinth. lt seems so strange to lose anything like that. Susie and Jeannette were over -172- a little while this evening and they were saying that the boys had given them a beautiful hyacinth. Grand of the boys, l'm sure. Feb. 22. -Nirs. Knowlton's hyacinth came back very mysteriously this morning. Where could it have been? Mr. Ryan talked about Geo. Washington in Chapel, to-day. Couldn't see any hyacinth at the Fellows' House this afternoon and the girls acted very queer about it. When the wedding rehearsal was going on this evening we girls stood behind the curtain, listening. All of a sudden Mrs. Berry started for the curtain and we scampered up the stairs like mad. Poor Leta was the last one and had to explain things. Feb. 23.-There were some of the craziest wedding banquet notices in the hymn books this morning. Funny how they got there. The Berry-Snider wedding carrie off at 4:30. The Cottagers had to stay away during the afternoon and evening, so l went with Claude to the hotel for supper and to the show after- wards. Guess they had hash supreme at the Baptist church, and not much else. W Feb. 24.-The Freshies sent out bids with two centstamps today. Went to a hen party at Longshore's this evening. Had a grand time. l took one of the Ruggles House girls, sent her roses, hired a cab, took her to Wire's, and did things up scrumptious, but then lcan afford to be extravagant occasionally, for Claude is always doing these things for me. Feb. 25.-l went up into the gallery tonight and watched the Senior-Sophomore Wax Works. The Senior brass buttons appeared today, Sth Reg., Co. G. Claude hasn't asked me to go sleigh-riding for the longest time. l'll have to speak to him about that. a Feb. 26.-Dear me, why isn't Claude a Senior instead of- well instead of not being one.

Nlade Claude take me sleigh-riding this afternoon and we tipped over in a deep snow bank. Feb. 28.-Nothing doing. Went to chapel which was led by Mr, Rusk.

What a relief it will be when the Annual is all over, and yet we shall feel almost lost with so much time on our hands, and shall miss the pleasant evenings together. But such is life-the pleasures must end, as well as the work and worry. Woman's edition of the Scarlet and Black came out today and was a great success. That item about the Profs. not hearing classes because of work on the faculty farm will be fine for a cartoon. Track work began today. March 2.-DuBois' delayed lecture came off tonight, so we had no Board meeting. Some of us got locked out of French this after- noon and even Jess Smith's Great Scott proved ineffective. March 3.-Mass meeting for the chapel fund again. Don't know how it happened but l found myself standing with the eleven dollar bunch. lt's beginning to look rather hopeful, perhaps our class can spade the ground up again next year. Board meeting tonight and Friday night at that. Surely no one can accuse us of being a social organization, and yet we are degenerating, lfear, for once we prided ourselves on being a unique Board because not a solid one, and now-but it is fate, l suppose. Had an exciting discussion over the color of the binding. l'm glad the brown won for it's more artistic though not so patriotic. Arch., the stoic, came in after the Simpson basket-ball game, with one decorated optic, declared that the report of the material committee was immaterial and we all adjourned to the lollyepop room of the Candy Kitchen to celebrate, only to End the menu reduced to cider and straws. Prex the Punster cheered us with the comforting information that cider would go a long way-through a straw. Jimmie the Tight, with tears in his eyes, reflected upon the time when he had -17 7.. lost his head and spent fifteen cents-lollies and cookies for two. March 4.-Just returned from rooting at the Chresto-lnstitute debate. We were iust about to ask the Chrestos to lend us their decorated hall and the ice-cream they had ordered beforehand, when the decision was given to them. lt was too funny when Wheaton got up to lead the yells. Nlarch 5.-President Gates here again and gave a fine talk at Vespers. Nlarch 6.-Won the basket-ball championshipin the game with Iowa this afternoon. Hi Henry's minstrels held forth tonight and consequently our meeting was a tiifle abbreviated. Prex stood it like a man when Verna the Versatile got off to 'tentertain out of town company, but his eye flashed dangerously when Cary the Carefree cut out without being excused. Pearl didn't appear at all, but suppose she was Hguring out some joke-at the minstrel show. Nlarch 7.-The Board had its picture taken today, dragged out from its long seclusion somewhere between the fifth generation and the attic, while we were stuck around it incidentally to enhance the background, perchance. Ruth the Ruthless was as absent as usual, but the combined efforts of a committee of one finally succeeded in producing her. March 8.-Seddie evidently intends to get his picture on the market ahead of us, as he posed this P. Nl. with Irene and Nlattie serving the same purpose as we did around the Board March 9.-Mass meeting for Cornell debate. Sophomore-Freslr man girls' basket-ball game, then Herbert Butler's recital, and finally wound up at board meeting. Got some material back from the faculty with bloody tracks upon it, as usual. When it left our hands, vision of a returned paper marked rare or at least well done floated before our eyes, but imagine our humiliation when we read the fatal epitaph, tttoo raw, cut out. Yet budding genius is seldom recognized by contemporary critics, and this thought should comfort us. Nlarch 10.-Cornell debate and Cornell won. lt was rather an unexpected blow, but we have learned to take defeat gracefully, and are just as proud of our boys as the winners can possibly be of theirs. Nlarch 11.-We ought to parody When the Lights are Low, in memory of Miss Byers and Nlr. Rice at the Baum house recently. Nlr. Frampton gave a talk on Parsifal today, and at dinner Ben DeHaan wanted to know what kind of a thing this Parsifal is, that every one is talking about. Some one kindly informed him that it is a comic opera, and Ben took it all in. A new rule about cutting, added to the faculty constitution, appeared in the Scarlet and Black today, and we are all up in arms, not because we believe in cutting, either. Fink entertained his Botany people, and Y. Nl. C. A. had a stag party, football tournament of some sort. Nlarch 13.-About fifty are going up to Parsifal at Des Nloines. Of course l had the needful but just couldn't spare the time. Nlarch 14.-Parsifal was grand, they say. Drix and Leonard Carney lost their seat checks. Prof. said he didn't knowthat piece of paper was any good. Nlrs. Furbeck gives two recitals today. Nlarch 15.-What's the matter with 1906? We beat the Senior girls in basket-ball 11 to 7. Nlarch 16.-Trees began to turn green in honor of St. Patrick. Had a big time at board meeting tonight, and we made a little --178 noise, or rather, Hilarious Helen and Funny Frank made the noise. l fear we disturbed DeWitt again, but we'll tell him it was only a weather report. Had a lively discussion over cutting down expenses, and Grace the Busy gave the sage suggestion that we cut out the faculty and all the other dry things. Pearl the Credulous actually saw the joke. Y. Nl. C. A. election tonight, and Pearl and Helen bet with the boys that our Nlethodical George would get the presi- dency. The boys lost, of course. Girls have such winning ways. We now have the Y. Nl. and Y. W. presidents and the base-ball captain in our ranks, and l don't know what further honor can be bestowed upon us unless Paul Trigg should appoint his successor from our numbers. P March 17.-Party at Wiley's-as usual. Prof. Heidel gave a fine talk in chapel on scholarship, it hit me hard. Nlarch 18.-Seniors and Juniors had a mass meeting to discuss the new rule. '07 Annual Board was elected tonight. Nlarch 20.-Our business manager's self-sacrificing spirit is something marvelous. When Frank objected tonight at being identified with his recent book, 'tThe Staying Guest, James promptly declared his willingness to appear as the author. We had a short meeting, and Lois' the Leisurely's Sophomore was late in appearing. l hope she isn't waiting for him yet. Nlarch 21.--Just got home from Twelfth Night. The little lVlattern girl sat back of us and insisted that the jester was meant to represent the devil. Paul and Edith made their debut once' more before the astonished American public. This unsettled state of soci- ety, especially among the Seniors, is nerve-racking for an Annual Board. Nlarcli 22.-Van Braam led chapel and read Rom. XII. for the third time this year. Nlr. Sprague has gone into seclusion again- alone with Malta Vita, while the expectant world awaits impatiently another poem. I Ili li rr , ffxls ?' A E411 Q Nlarch 23.-Junior-Senior committee conferred with the faculty on the cutting question to-day. Jakie visited board meeting to-night and it seemed like old times to have her with us. If she were only in the Board picture! Nlarch 24.-The cartoonist arrived to-day, and is causing a good deal of excitement. He is young and good looking and not at all as those horrid boys described him. Pearl has already spoken for him for the Junior-Freshman party, while Agnes, the Willing,has kindly offered to escort him to classes. The greatest benefactors of the human race have always been the greatest martyrs, as Nlr. Cochran found out, when he, with benevolent intent turned the fountain on -1 to-day, only to be pounced upon by Triplett, the t'Copper, and ordered to the Dean's office. g Nlarch 25.-J unior-Freshman party. Nlarch 26.-Prof. Nollen led Vespers and the choir sang Prof. Olds' Magninear. k Nlarch 27.-We were again moved to unseemly mirth to-night in board meeting over Agnes' sisterly advice to James, failing to produce some financial information promptly. Said sister sharply to brother, Well, tiger, Jim, Hgerf' We had the laugh on Frank too, when Helen invited the crowd down to the Willard House and Frank unconsciously added, Yes, we want you to come at halt-past seven. Nlarch 28.-Good joke on Pat McCulloch. He took the car- toonist to dinner to-day and while showing him the sights of the Blodgett club, Long got a fine picture of him. March 29.-Nlrs. Beecher's reading. Nlarch 30.-Such luck! Sophomore girls beat our basket ball team by one point, 8 to 9. Wadsworth House quarantined to-day, but Verna succeeded in getting one photograph fumigated. March 31.-When Lois brought the cartoonist into Ethics this morning it was funny to see Irving and Paul take a back seat. Prof. Stoops looked as though he would like to, but Nlinnie posed, as usual. Board meeting to-night but we had to adjourn to Wire's as there was a faculty meeting in the other onice and they made so much noise we couldn't work. Pound Ruth, the Absent, at Wire's. I must get up to breakfast to-morrow for Glenn and Ben are to give an exhibition of professional Nlalta Vita consumption. Sprague had better look to his laurels.

Who was to be the first to pluck the forbidden fruit? Not Temp because he expected to beat the gun and this would be impossible from the boughs of yon apple tree. Not Davie, for he was a trifle lame and wished this to be a handicap affair, but alas! not so with Reggie, brave boy, he would go above while his com- rades played the part of Newton. A moment later it began to rain, Capplesj, two minutes elapsed when thundering tones were heard, tDarn the dogllj. The Trio waited in breathless suspense for the flash but, oh, Joy! the farmer was out of persuasive powder! At this point Reggie demonstrated. the proposition that a straight line is the shortest distance between the top bough and the ground, while Temp made up his handicap over Davie on the Hrst few yards. A series of events now began. Reggie having successfully proven his point, proceeded on a second demonstration, this time the first place of safety being his destination, 44O'yards the distance to be covered, given-44 sec. U5 He made it. The second event called was the obstacle race with Temp and Davie as competitors. The light haired boy caught the first hurdle ta barb wire fencej and retired with lacerated coat while Davie made good until the creek was reached. Here he endeavored to combine the hammer throw ta bag of juicy fruit serving as the hammerj with the broad jump, but fell short, alighting among frogs and pollywogsft Reggie now came up and accused Temp of being a quitter but agreed with Davie that he had gotten a dirty deal. Chere Davie displays one propeller covered with mud to about the first turn.j The danger line had been crossed and only the deep breathing ot' the three scared youths broke the silence. A mutual agreement to discontinue the raid was reached with little difficulty and within a short space of time the Trio were wrapped in peaceful slumbers, a state which the farmer had enjoyed throughout the whole episode. The following morning the apple strewn ground attracted the attention of the farmer, who immediately began an investigation. The cause of the fallen fruit and the broken branches of a choice tree was traced to the fence at the lower end of the orchard where- on hung the t'tail. THE SEQUEL. CHAP. I.

Without waiting for an invitation, the Trio invite themselves over to the Spencer House the following night.

IVIISS I-IOLBROOK The college career of Edith Holbrook had ended and the greater part of the winter had been spent in Boston, visiting college friends. During her college course she had made an enviable record, ever ready to sacrifice her desires if in any way she might be able to make some one happier. But like many a college girl she had experienced a serious affair of the heart, nothing tragic or crushing, but a slight chill, an early frost, sweeping across her dreams and leaving things in a clearer light though not so enchanting. How- ever, her devoted lover appeared one day as a scamp in the byways of his private life, and, in spite of condoning relatives and many pleas for his youth, he was cut otf forever from our young woman's affections. Yet, Edith Holbrook, in the solitude of her faultlessly arranged boudoir, was sick and tired, she thought, and life's ideals seemed fatally hurt. 'tl would like to go far away, to some little world I have never explored, and forget and begin life anew, she mur- mured. But we can afford to smile a little at a young woman of twenty- two, with a good appetite and every blessing m hich love and money can create, sighing to begin life anew. ' It really seems as if there were fates at work sometimes, for at the very moment she expressed her wish, Aunt Mattie Holbrook, far away in her cosy home at the foot of the White Mountains, was writing a very loving letter to her favorite niece. Our place has never looked better than it does this year. I am 189 very lonely and your uncle joins me in hoping that you will come and visit us for a few weeks, at least. The new Alderney has a pretty little calf, and the strawberries and cherries promise a fine yield. So concluded the letter. Dear old soul, she writes as if I were still a little girl to be pleased with a new calf and lots of berries. I believe I am pleased. And I will go and visit my aunt. Her intimate friends lifted their eyebrows ever so slightly at her idea of summering in a place where there would be actually no- body. That will be the great attraction for me, she answered. We get such colossal ideas of ourselves, going about with the big some- bodies that I think we need to go to Nature sometimes and be reduced to our true selves. I Hence the three great trunks that were landed on the platform of the Pleasantville station two weeks later, while Edith, in her delightful traveling costume, stood beside them and serenely surveyed the light buggy which was waiting to convey her to Aunt Nlattie's farm-house three miles away. Will they pile up comfortably in the back, do you think? she complacently asked of the good-looking and deeply astonished young man who was surveying the luggage. They will pile up comfortably in the hay-wagon, I think, answered the young man, and added to himself, What idiots these city girls must be. ls the hay-wagon here? asked Miss Holbrook, in most serene accents. No, ma'am, we didn't expect - Very well, send the hay-wagon. So that l get the trunks in time to dress for dinner l shall be satisfied. The smallest one might go in the buggy, said the man, getting a better view of the trunks. But the smallest one contains only books, fancy work and the like. The very largest one is the one I need for dinner, or rather tea. The young man turned away his face to conceal the absolute derision which overspread it. Miss Holbrook pretended to mistake his movement for one of distress. However, never mind! My uncle will surely solve the problem somehow. At least, take me to my aunt's, and l will trust to time and the hay-wagon for my belongingsj' holding out a beautifully gloved hand. She was assisted into the buggy as though delicate as an eggshell and the young horse, which had not yet sobered down to farm work, started on a brisk trot down the rough road. . As they climbed a steeper eminence and the horse found it wise to walk, Miss Holbrook leaned back with a comfortable sigh. The young man ventured that side look which one may take without moving the head. Miss Holbrook's face was averted and he saw the perfect oval of her cheek, the tip of her brown eye-lash and-he turned his head ever so slightly to be sure-yes, it was a -190 tear, a shining, genuine tear, that even as he looked was impatient- ly flirted away by the merest Elm of a handkerchief, that wafted to him the breath of brook-side violets. ln a few moments Miss Holbrook was softly humming a frag- ment of wordless song. These slight things told deeply on the individual beside her. From superior manly pity for her as a city ninny, his feelings at the sight of that tear had suddenly changed to adoration. Mr. Tersus Vanderber Qthis was the young man's namej had grown up among the White mountains in a toilsome, studious, self- respecting way, with a large heart Hlled with sunny hopes, some- how, of his future, of dreams of home and family and a happy tireside of his own. And all in a moment it seemed as though his honest and modest hopes were crushed forever, by no one else than the young lady at his side. Something seemed to call out to him from every leaf, Now you know! Now you know that there are heights of life to which you can never attain, a sweetness which is far above your humdrum level! Miss Holbrook continued to hum the wordless song until a turn in the road brought the Holbrook home in view. Aunt Mattie was waiting anxiously on the horse-block. As soon as the buggy drew up, she drew her niece from the carriage with her own strong arms, kissed her heartily on both cheeks, and then said, I suppose you are acquainted with each other by this time, and, in answer to Miss Holbrook's involuntary stare, added, with a wave of the hand: This is Mr. Tersus Vanderberf' The colt was already waltzing about with the intention of going straight to the stable and Mr. Vanderber's bow consequently resulted in a jerk and a lurch, but Miss Holbrook's salutation was perfectly graceful. 'tl thought he was oneuofyour farm hands, said Edith to her aunt as she followed the latter to the house. So he is, my dear. He has been with us fortwo years. Your Uncle andl think the the world of Mr. Vanderber. He's just as steady and reliable as can be and besides he takes such an active interest in things. Oh, said Miss Holbrook. 'tAnd now, exclaims the cynical reader, produce your savage bull or your runaway colt, and have the cultured Miss Holbrook rescued by the lowly, but noble Tersus, and then give us the quiet country wedding! But for pity's sake, have Tersus elected to the New Hampshire Legislature, or something, for we don't approve of fearfully uneven matches, even if a precious neck is saved. This marrying your coachman is getting tame anyhow. I hope this reader will read no further. He has depths of cold depravity and calculating seltishness that would prevent him from sympathetically following my little romance, for of course it is a romance, and a sweet one, too, or l would never try to tell it. It appears to have taken Miss Holbrook fully three weeks before she ever discovered that Tersus Vanderber was good looking. Good looking is the term that well described him. He had a clean -191- antt healthful complexion, sound white teeth, a clear-cut mouth and strong chin that could well defy the shelter of a beard. Dick, the handsome and much valued shepherd dog, came home from his pastoral work one night limping painfully and saying with all the pathos his eyes could express: You must pardon me for making such a fuss, but really I can't help it,'t and it was Mr. Van- derber's face, bent down in careful examination of the ailing paw, that Miss Holbrook for the first time fully and reflectively noticed. 'tHe is really tine looking. He has a far better face thanl but she would not speak that name any more, even to herself. She drew near the pair.: What has he done to himself-the poor fellow? she asked. 'tHe has a splinter or thorn in his foot. From the way it is swollen, he's probably been enduring it all day. He'd die, l guess, rather than come home before his regular hour for bringing the sheep. The perfect hero! l must make a picture of him tomorrow! said Miss Holbrook with enthusiasm. Mr. Vanderber opened the sharpest little blade of his pocket knife, and, soothing the dog with ,many a tender word, as if he were a suffering child, he found and drew out the cause of the mischief- not without a yelp or two of pain from the dog and corresponding Oh! from Miss Holbrook. f'Now it should be bathed, he said. t'l'll bring warm water, and Aunt has a healing salve that is perfectly magical. I had a fish-hook in my Hngerlast Friday, and I know whereof I speak. Between them they bathed and anointed Dick's paw, who licked and wagged his thanks and laid down on the special mat spread for him, with a deep-drawn sigh of relief. t They sat on the porch beside him for a while and told anecdotes of dogs. The young man talked shyly at first and searched awk- wardly for words, but soon he grew more at ease and tal -ed almost as well as a Cambridge beau, if not better, for there were none of the attectations of conscious culture in his speech. So they became slightly acquainted. The next day as Miss Holbrook helped Aunt Martha shell peas for dinner, she spoke of Dick, and how tenderly the man Vanderber had taken the thorn out of his foot. That is just like him, said Aunt Mattie warmly. He's the kindest hand to dumb animals we've ever had. But you ought to see him with his mother. That explains everything Tell me about him and his mother. Miss Holbrook was pleasantly interested. Well, you see, his father was a poor drinking wreck of a man, and when he died, the mother was left with a run-down mortgaged farm, an idiot baby and Tersus. The baby died, but the mother's health was so broken down that the mortgage was foreclosed and she and Tersus moved into an old rickety house near the Rocky Ridge. But bless you, my dear, that boy! He was only thirteen years old, but he had the head of a man. He cleared up a garden 2 patch and built a fence of the rocks that he dug up with the patience of Job, he hauled manure in a wheelbarrow, and patched up the old house and painted it with white-wash, and, the tirst people knew, corn and potatoes and onions and cabbage were growing on this once unfeitile land. ' He himself did all the washing, for his mother had a spine trouble which kept her in her rocking chair most of the time. And that's the way it has gone, working hard all summer, and doing chores and going to school in the winter, and never having a play- spell, unless you can call hunting partridge and squirrel for meat that you're suffering for, play. But of late years it has been easier for him. He works the year 'round and gets good wages. He's built an addition and tixed the place up some until it's like a pic- ture, and he and his mother take lots of comfort there, though her spine's been about as bad as ever. i would like to make a sketch of Rocky Ridge, interrupted Miss Holbrook. Where is it? About a mile north of here, on a road that isn't traveled much, I guess, except by Tersus. He goes home every night and is back again by sunrise, no matter what the weather is. And does he manage the washing still? asked Miss Holbrook, with a smile. f'My dear, l'm afraid so! His hands show a parboiled look on Mondays. He has hired two or three different girls to stay with his mother, but all our best girls go away to teach, or they get married, and l guess that those he could get sort of jarred on the old lady's nerves, for none of them stayed long. They all com- plained, too, of the place being so lonesome. A girl that's all heels and gab likes to be where there is something going on. Cannot his mother do any work? Well, my dear, l called there not long ago, and found her sit- ting in a chair and ironing at the same time. She tried to make me believe it didn't tire'her and made me promise that l wouldn't tell Tersus, for it would worry him. 'f'l'his is very interesting, said Miss Holbrook. The next day Edith set forth to see Rocky Ridge for herself, more particularily Tersus' home. She hadbeen walking quite rapidly for some time and every moment expected to behold the little cottage. Sure enough. Miss Holbrook's nimble feet had barely reached the summit of a high hill, when a gay red chimney shot suddenly into view, and a little gray cottage with red-sash windows, appeared so startlingly near that she paused and drew back, as if she had been about to enter a private room without knocking. Miss Holbrook drew farther back behind the numerous sheltering trees and sat down. l shall call this place the Land of Rest. How beautiful in that boy to do all this, and to be what he is against such heavy odds! she exclaimed under her breath. She sat there thinking how tender and noble are some human hearts in this world, after all, when presently a slight, little, old woman, in a gray dress and black shawl, came slowly out upon the back porch, and tried, with tier feeble hands, to draw up the bucket from the well. Edith at once rose to her feet in silent protest, and when she saw the poor hands slip from the rope and the bucket fall rattling back, she at once ran down the path and in a moment was by the wo- man's side. Let me help you, madamj' she said, in the sweet and tender voice she always used toward the helpless, and which was quite ditferent from her society voice, with its rising inflections. Oh, cried the little old lady, more frightened by Miss Hol- brook than bythe fall of the bucket, I ain't seen anyone- in so long, l don't quite remember - l am Edith Holbrook, Mrs. Holbrook's niece. And you, l pre- sume are Mrs. Vanderberf' Yes, l'm Tersus's mother, she answered, with a flutter of pride and somewhat reassured thereby. Miss Holbrook drew up the brimming bucket and set it securely on the curb cover. , Come in, Miss Holbrook, a moment, and rest yourself, she went on. And mebbe you'll stay and have a cup of tea with me, l seldom see anyone but Tersus, away up here. Miss Holbrook looked at her watch. Only half an hour until dinner time, and she had promised Aunt Mattie she would not be late. -193- Thank you, l will rest for a few minutes, but Aunt expects me to dinner and will keep things waiting. How bright and pretty this garden is! Yes, Tersus and these posies are great blessin's to me! I don't know what l've done to have sech blessin's, a sweet, solemn grati- tude overspreading her pain-pinched face. That afternoon, Miss Holbrook casually remarked that she had called at Rocky Ridget' and was quite charmed with the place. It is really delightful there, and Mrs. Vanderber was kind enough to ask me to come and spend a dav. The heart of Tersus leaped into his throat that night, when his mother told him of Miss Holbrook's call, and he asked many absurd questions. What did she wear? And what did she say? And did mother have on her. black or white shawl? And did she think to give Miss Holbrook a handful of sweet peas and pansies? And the heart of Tersus fell when he found the black shawl was worn and the bouquet forgotten when Miss Holbrook was so fond of sweet peas. However, his heart leaped up again when his mother announced the all-day visit soon. But a great worriment soon set in, for no particular day was mentioned, and he could not tell when to slay a chicken, and prepare a nice dessert for the dinner. For some reason he was unable to sleep, and in the wee hours of the morning he arose, beheaded and parboiled a chicken, baked a delicious cake, and pre- pared a fine array of every vegetable and fruit the place and season afforded. -19 4 The fowl, he explained to his mother, as he brought it to her bed-side, will be all right in the cellar for a day or two, at least, and a slice of the cake, with one of your good sauces poured over it, will make a capital pudding. And some currant jelly will go well with the chicken, which you must be sure to fry a nice brown. Goodbye. And he was off to his day's work, ridiculously fluttered and disturbed, and calling himself an idiot again and again. Why do I care! What is her visit to me? She is kind and wants to brighten up the life of a poor invalid. And yet here I go palpitating about like a sublime fool! Thank Heaven, she'll be going back to Boston by and by. The dainties were not kept long in waiting. The next day was enticingly bright and cool, with a soft breeze from the northwest. Miss Holbrook, adorned with a white apron and a quaint little shawl, started early and leisurely climbed the hill. On her arm was a small basket containing a recent Munsey, a couple of books, a pot of Alderney butter and a bottle of Alderney cream. Tersus ought to have been prepared for the announcement, but he felt his face grow red when Aunt Mattie explained the absence of her niece at dinner. He was so afraid 'that things would not pan out just as he had planned. A That night he had no opportunity to ask questions. His mother talked to him of Miss Holbrook, and left nothing unsaid. She had come in so easy and naturallike, and, yes, had sat there in his own wooden chair by the window. And she had insisted on bringing in the kindlings and filling the tea kettle, and she had made a salad with her own bands, of lettuce and boiled eggs and cream, and there was a dish of it left for him in the cupboard. She had helped do the dishes, and made his mother lie on the lounge and rest while she read such a funny 'story out of a book she had brought with her, that she-his silly old mother-had laughed until she had cried, and felt all the more rested. Her Aunt says she is always doing charitable work, Tersus at last got a chance to say, and he said it gloomily. Then his little mother tlared up very indignantly. t'Charityl Why, she had done all this from pure pleasure. His mother knew what mere charity was, she hoped! Did he think that people kissed people out of charity? ' Tersus slowly admitted that he didn't think so. Well, Miss Holbrook had kissed her good and hearty when she went away, and said she hadnit enjoyed herself so much in a year. Charity, indeed! And then Tersus burst out laughing at his mother's wrath, and asked her which cheek Miss Holbrook had kissed, and kissed the same cheek himself, and went off to bed quite ecstatic, but well aware that he had no ground for ecstacy. How it came about I am not clearly aware, but l think the fact that Tersus read and understood Emerson had much to do with the establishing of a friendly intimacy between proud Boston's daugh- ter and this New Hampshire sont -195 On Sunday they walked home from church together, while Uncle and Aunt Holbrook jogged on with sober old Kit, the grand- mother ofthe colt. Tersus had not counted on this happiness, but when the kindly girl smiled at him as they came through the church gate, and said that she was walking, too, could he hurry away and run across the Eelds after his usual fashion, and leave her to walk alone? lt was just as natural that she should speak to him in this way as that she should whistle for Dick to accom- pany her. He had merely to obey. Instead of following the regular path homeward they chose a longer but more pleasant way, Presently they had crossed the fields and were walking through the light woodlands of the valley. Beside them the clear little brook laughed and warbled along over its smooth pebbles. Suddenly Miss Holbrook paused with a little Koh of dismay. Tersus turned to her questioningly. 'tl had forgotten the brook- crossing, she exclaimed. We must cross by and by, you know, or go back all the way. lt's not a hard brook to cross, smiled Tersus. I see the stepping stones are covered. So they were last Sunday, and I-l waded! admitted Miss Holbrook with a little blush. But, today, you can be carried over, said Tersus in a careless way, but his heart was beating wildly and his words seemed to come from anywhere but his own staid tongue. They reached the brink. Miss Holbrook seemed greatly disturb- ed. She blushed yet more deeply and the tears seemed about to gather in her eyes. 'tMr. Vanderber, if I go back, I shall be a simpleton, and if I go on-Oh, on your honor as a gentleman, you won't think thatl did not forget the crossing, will you? And then at the enormity which her very words implied, tears really gathered. She had best remained silent. She wanted to box her own ears. VII think but one thought, Miss Holbrook, and that is thatl love you with my whole soul! He lifted her quickly in his arms and strode across the submerged rocks. Nor did he allow her to slip to her feet until he had reached the dry, firm ground of the path beyond Who would begrudge him those three or four extra paces of bliss? I have said everything and I never meant to have breathed a word, he faltered, retreating from her, his voice in a tremble. Forgive me, Miss Holbrookg but how can any true man help lov- ing you? . Miss Holbrook hung her head like a sad culprit. Making all true men love her! What should she say? There was a pause for some moments and then with a tender, tearful smile, she replied, I shall always remember that I was cared for by one true gentle- man, and then these words sounded so much like an everlasting farewell, she could not leave them standing so, and added, I And I believe-that I-I-I love you-too, Mr. Vanderberf' Sunday afternoon was a good time to talk with her Aunt on a matter of life long importance. She commenced by saying: Aunt dear, I wish that I had a grand farm close by yours, for you know you are all the mother I have had since my own died. Father will permit me to do whatever suits me best, l know, my friends have always admired my brilliant judgement, and so your approval, Aunt dear, is all I wait for. Edith Holbrook, do you mean anything in particular? demand- ed Aunt Mattie, looking sharply and steadily at her niece. Yes, Aunt, dropping her face a trifle, something very par- ticular, I am going to marry Tersus Vanderber, if you think I am good enough for him. - Edith-Holbrook! i Yes, he acknowledged coming from church, that he liked me very well, but I saw that he wasn't going to get over the obstacle of my money, went on Miss Holbrook, demurely, and I had to argue the matter with him in a perfectly shameless way. And by and by I became terribly angry, and said, if he chose to let a miserable pot of money come between us, very well, and I got up and started for home. And, oh, Aunt, how I did listen for his footstep behind me, and thought it would never come! I was just about to turn back and tell him I would give all my money to the poor, if he would be so kind as to take me, when I heard him coming, poor fellow! and Miss Holbrook buried her blushing face in her hands. Aunt Mattie Holbrook was not a demonstrative womang but this was a rare occasion. She came to her niece and clasped the bowed head to her breast. My dear, just a faint thought of this did come into my mind, the other day, when you .two were talking of fruit farms and the like, but l considered it too good to be true. I think you have done well, Edith! you might marry more money, butyou couldn't marry a purer, more honest and kinder man. So it seems to me, said Edith. And oh! Aunt eagerly lift- ing her head, do persuade him that there is not much money, after all! you see there are my three sisters and brother Tom to be provided for, and l shall give a large sum to missions, and l may really be obliged to pinch a little to build our ine house over yon- der, which l want to make very comfortable for our poor lame mother, you know. And there will be the improved stock to buy, and- But Aunt Mattie's gaze seemed to be fixed on some object be- yond her niece and her smile had become a mixture of happiness and amusement. Miss Holbrook turned quickly and met the radiant eyes of her future husband. I think he is already persuaded, said Aunt Mattie. R. C. -1 J'- NOTES OF A BACK-SEATER.

Soon he reached his destination, Up the steps he walked sedately, Rang the bell and calmly waited Till a woman came and asked him lf she should call some one for him, Then his boldness quite forsook him l-lelpless stood he, still and staring, For her name he had forgotten! Shame-faced back home went the gallant Pride and confidence all vanished, Learned the name from jeering roommate And forthwith again departed , For the maid who there had waited, Waited anxiously and long.

THE PROMENADE CONCERT Moonlight beams through the wind-stirred trees Glimmering stars in the blue-black sky, Thrilling songs in the gentle breeze, Shadowy buildings towering highg Light gowned maidens strolling by With shadowy forms of manly sizeg To resist the spell you may vainly try- An enchanted land the campus lies. Merry jest from the under-grads But the Seniors thoughtful, with voices low, Gaze at the trees, the moonlit paths, Tear drops dimming the moon's bright glow Then from the steps to the groups below, Comes with sad sweetness the last Farewell, Whose pathos Seniors alone may know, As they leave forever dear old Grinnell. COLLEGE IDYLLS AUTUMN. The warmth of Indian summer has turned the trees into masses of red gold, making them appear as if in gala dress The grass has lost its beautiful green, covering the earth with a dull, yellowish carpet. Nature's glory, .although fading, rules in all its queenlike dignity. In deep contrast appear the bright faces of the students as they go about on the campus: Recitations are over and all turn their energies to the full enjoyment of living. Beneath the pines on the north campus is a group of girls, making merry laughter ring from the shade of the stalwart trees. Across the track some one is play- ing golf. The ball spins through the air in a superb f'Rusk curve, landing on the green. A carriage full of laughing, bare-headed girls rolls swiftly by, leaving behind it a cloud of dust. A Youth and happiness go hand in hand, thoughtless of anything but beautiful, bright days-with never a foreboding of storm clouds of winter slowly appearing on the horizon. WINTER. The air is thick with a white curtain of crystal let down from heaven, lying over the colorless earth, a soft, glittering coverlet. In the distance, jingling sleigh bells sound in peaceful harmony with the noiseless falling snow. Now the college bell rings its three taps, once more announcing freedom to students, who all day have struggled with unsolvable problems and obstinate Latin verbs. From out the doors of Chi- cago Hall comes a crowd of young humanity, eager to breathe free -203- air again. Merry greetings are exchanged, while now and then comes a snow-ball sailing through the air destined for some unsus- pecting victim. A dark-haired girl, gracefully crowned by a red tam-o'shauter shows her skill at throwing by hitting Goodnow Hall instead of a youth near by. A low bob-sled, carrying a load of fun-loving girls, swings around the corner so quickly that all fall off into a bank of snow. Shouts and laughter till the air, then they pile on and are soon far away. All is quiet-only the gentle snow fall, mingled with an occa- sional sleigh-bell, breaks the melody of Nature's Winter Symphony. SPRING. A chirping in the trees and deepening of heaven's blue announce that spring is here. Spring, that glorious new awakening of the soul of Nature, which thrills man's soul as well. The south campus is very inviting to lovers of birds, for here all the merry warblers are busy, making nests. ln the shade of the large elms peals of laughter tell us that a German lesson is being diligently prepared. From the gymnasium to Ward Field the ath- letes make their way, as sturdy a group of young manhood as can be found. , A youth and maid stroll slowly across the campus, just returned from an exciting match at tennis. On Blair Hall steps a jolly crowd has stopped to rest, hats and baskets of violets tell tales of a walk to Sugar Creek. All is bright and beautiful- and as the setting sun in all its scarlet glory mingles with the black shade of night, another day has passed in the springtime of life at Grinnell. JUNIORS OF '65 , The Union was calling for more men-more men or there would be no Union, and the uneasiness which had been stirring in a little western college since the beginning of the war in '61, came to a climax in April, '64, when one of the professors enlisted at the head of a company of forty-tive men in answer to the call for hun- dred day men. This company included practically all the able- bodied men of military age in the college, and two at least, so tradition tell us, not yet eighteen years. Harlson stood at the window of his room on the second floor of the college building-and in those days there was only one college building, on the first floor of which were recitation rooms, on the second floor, a chapel and men's dormitories and dormitories again on the third floor He gazed out at the scene which had be- come so familiar to him during his three years of school life in Grinnell. A clump of locust trees, faintly tinged with green, stood in a slough just north of the building. Harlson smiled as he re- called one night in late April, the first year he had been in college, when he with a few other boys had stolen out and splashed around in the water of the slough, almost deep enough to swim in. In one of the rooms above someone was playing a flute, and the boys were stamping on the floor singing Union Forever. The noise grew intolerable and he seized his hat and went down the stairs. Ashe passed out, a window on the third floor was raised, a black curly head was thrust out and a deep voice called him to come 204 back. Harlson shook his head. Cries of Deserter followed him and threats of dire punishment were hurled at him but he only smiled and kept on his way across the campus, then bare, unbroken prairie land with a few sickly trees planted along a cincler walk. He stopped before a yard surrounded by a white picket fence and waited while a girl who had been sitting on the porch, came down the path, set out on either side with newly laid flower beds border- ed with great pink-mouthed sea shells brought from New England, and joined him at the gate. Together they strolled down the street. The girl wore a gown of dark blue with dainty white ruching at the neck and wrists. You are quite patriotic tonight, he said, all you need is a bit of red. She smiled the quaint half smile of hers that brought a tiny dimple in the side of her chin, and brushed back her hair from her forehead. My hair-won't that do? No, he answered seriously. lt's more of a brown. l wouldn't call it red exactly. 5 UNO, it would be safer not to, and they both laughed. Have you made up your mind yet? she asked after a pause, touching a subject uppermost in the minds of both. Yes, I am going with the company tomorrow. But thee is a Quaker and war is murder, she cried in sweet mockery. There is other work beside fighting to be done. There are the sick and the wounded to be looked after. And you are going with the hundred day men tomorrow. Yes, l am going tomorrow. They had reached the ,business portion of the town, consisting of a few country stores, and as they passed in front of the rough board structure which served as the office for the recruiting officer, the provost marshal turned to a heavy-set, bearded farmer stand- ing by him in the doorway: Wish we had a few more such husky fellows as he in uniform, and we'd show the Johnnies a thing or two. I-l'm, he's one of them damn Quakers and they won't tight fur love nor money, and the farmer spat out a stream of tobacco. John l-larlson and Cynthia Hale had been members of the first Freshman class of the college-that memorable class of '65 out of which but three of the original thirteen male members graduated. Cynthia had been born in New England and had come to Grinnell, after the death of her mother six years previous to this time, to make her home with her uncle, a middle-aged minister of the sternly orthodox kind, who sought to rebuild a worn-out constitu- tion in a different climate. When they had reached the end of the sidewalk they went along the country road for a short way. Meadow-larks were calling to each other and from the fields came the sweet, spring smell of the freshly turned earth. They loitered slowly homeward, past the familiar dwellings, up the path, with the sea shells on either side glimmering faintly in the misty moonlight. They stood for a moment by the porch steps. We have broken Rule No. 6 - 'tfor the last time, she was on the point of adding, but checked herself and said- again Will you promise not toreport me? They laughed and then were silent. A robin, on a stripling elm by the fence, stirred and trilled uneasily to his mate. The silence grew awkward. t'Well, he said Hnally, I guess l had better say good-by. The girl turned her face, with its laughing eyes and sweet mouth twisted in half-smile, toward him: Good-by, she answered. He caught her in his arms with a passion that surprised her and kissed her on her face and neck. Her lips were silent but her heart cried out in protest, as the heart of woman has done since time be- gan, against the cruelty of war and separation. Summer past and college commenced again. ln late September the hundred-day men came back, with some of their number miss- ing. Of the three, Nlarcey, Hayes and Harlson, whose Quaker train- ing forbade them to bear arms against their fellow men and who had gone as members of the Christian Commission, Nlarcey alone returned with the company, l-layes was teaching somewhere in the South. Harlson had left the company--they were too healthy for him, he said, and joined the hospital corps of the -th lowa Cavalry. Occasionally Cynthia had heard .rom him-long, friendly let- ' -205- ters telling mostly of his work and the men with whom he came in contact. Once he wrote her of a southern prisoner whom he had nursed through a sickness: He told me of his sweetheart-the pret- tiest girl in Dixie-he called her, who had black hair and eyes, and I told him of a certain girl I know-the prettiest girl in the north, with red brown hair, gray eyes and a queer little way of smiling. But the letters were few and far between and after a time ceased to come. In Nlarch, Hayes came back to graduate with his class. He had been teaching contrabands in St. Louis. He had heard a rumor of Harlson's being killed but knew nothing further. In the early part of April, '65, occurred the fall of Richmond. It was customary for the students to hold rhetorical exercises in the chapel about once a week, and on the morning of Lee's surrender, Hayes, who had heard the news down town just before going to the chapel, dashed off the following verses which he read as his part of the program. At the first sentence- Richmond has fallen, Hurrah, Hurrah -the students, most of whom had not yet heard of the victory, were on their feet shouting and cheering. They wrung each others hands, they embraced each other, wept, stamped and hurrahed till their throats ached. When they had quieted down so that his voice could be heard Hayes proceeded, only to be interrupted again and again by deafening cheers: Richmond has fallen, hurrah, hurrahg Richmond has fallen, hurrahg 206 Its evacuation is thrilling the nation, Rebellion is dying, its forces are flying, And Richmond is ours, hurrah. ' Richmond has fallen, hurrah, hurrahg Richmond has fallen, hurrahg That stronghold of triators and liberty haters ' Yields to the right though it yields but by might And Richmond has fallen, hurrah. Hurrah then we say. hurrah for the day, Hurrah for old Grant who never knew can't - Hurrah for the soldiers, Hurrah for the men, Hurrah all creation again and again. Cynthia sat pale and silent, her lips smiling and her heart crying for joy that the war would soon be ended and all could come home at last. lt' was not until several days later that the rumor of Harlson's death reached her. She waited one afternoon after Greek class and went up to the professor who had served as lieutenant of the company of hundred-day men, and questioned him as to the truth. I can tell you no more than has been reported around lately-that Harlson was killed while the -th Iowa Cavalry was on its way to join Grant's forces near Petersburg. I sincerely hope it may be only a rumor. He saw the suffering in the glrl's face in spite of the brave gray eyes and sweet lips that quivered in a half smile. By the way, he added as she turned to go, Smith, Silas Smith of the -th Iowa Cavalry came home yesterday. He was badly crippled I hear. He could probably tell you something cer- tain. .That evening after she had helped her aunt do up the supper dishes, she slipped out of the house down the street to the west. Mrs. Smith, a small untidy woman with straggly fair hair, answer- ed her knock and grudgingly gave her admittance. Smith was ly- ing bolstered up in bed in the front room. He was a bony-faced, sharp-eyed man with an unshaven look and a mass of tangled red hair. He glanced curiously at his visitor and bade his wife bring a chair. Cynthia seated herself and gripped her hands tightly to keep them from trembling. You were in the -th Iowa Cavalry, weren't you? she asked. Yes, yes, was the jerky answer. t'Yes, to be sure I was. I went to loway City and jined the -th Cavalry because I wanted to be with my brother. We're both Vermonters, but he settled in loway City an' I come on to Grinnell. But we both wanted to be in the same comp'ny. He paused and coughed a dry, hacking cough that sent the blood to his forehead and the tears to his eyes. Did you know a young man by the name of Harlson? Harlson, Harlson,-let me think-Harlson- He wasn't in the regiment. He helped- Yes, yes, he interrupted, yes, to be sure. Harlson-only us boys always called him 'Quaker John! Great strappin' feller he was, strong as an ox, too. Helped pull my horse off of me when I got my leg smashed with a cannon ball. Yes, yes, Iknoed him. The girl leaned slightly forward, her face very white and her gray eyes black with suspense. Something in the man's voice, in the reminiscent tone in which he spoke told her that rumor had not lied. Tell me how he was killedg her voice was controlled, but scarcely louder than a whisper. Well, it was just after we'd had a skirmish with some Johnnies. We was on our way to join Grant at Petersburg. We'd taken a Johnny prisoner. He was pretty nearly gone too-poor cuss, had a bullet in his arrn an' 'nother one through his knee. We camped for the night near a little river-not much bigger'n a crick. I don'no as I ever heerd the name of it. They fixed up us wounded as well as they could-it was just about two days after I had got my leg mashed-and put me down next to the Johnny. When a man's wounded it makes him awful dry an' it seems like he can't get enough to drink. They brung us in some fresh water they'd got from the crick, but the Johnny wouldn't tech it. They hadn't took out the bullets from his body yet, ant I think he was gittin' a bit off his head with the pain an' all. 'I won't tech it,' he yelled, 'Its pizen. Rank pizen. The horses been a drinkin' in it an' stirred up the mud! And nothing they could say would make it any different. -207- 'lv'e seen snakes swimmin' in it. lt's pizen. Take it away.' Then Quaker John come along and talked lo him soothin' like, but the Johnny wouldn't tech the water. 'There's a spring down there by the river,' he says, 'not a quarter of a mile from here. There's ferns growin' by it an' the water's as sweet an' clear as anything! He'd ben born an' raised in them ,parts an' knoed all about it. 'Can't you get me a drink o' that water,' he says to Quaker John, 'whiskey don't do no good an' lcan't tech that crick water. lt's pizen-' an' he'd go on that way for an hour or more an' cry just like a baby. He got us all uneasy an' tin'lly Quaker John questions him close an' then says he'll take a couple 0' pails an' see if he can't find it. He didn't come back that night. The next morning they found him with a bullet through his side an' the two empty pails about two feet from the spring. A Johnny, they thought, had picked him off from the opposite bankf' The girl rose and tried to stand steadily. Thank you, she said. Smith's thin frame was racked again with the cough, but he made a motion with his hand for her to wait. -208- Hale, Cynthy Hale, did you say your name was? Air you kin to him-John Harlson? he asked curiously. She shook her head. Her lips formed a quivering half-smile. We were classmates, she answered simply. -it we Sl? The war was over and memorial services were to be held in the church for those who had given their lives for the Union. A girl in a dark blue gown, with white at the wrists and throat, the sun glinting on her bright hair, stood by a gate with a wreath of white flowers in her hand. Those who had worn the blue were march- ing by on their way to the church, two by two, on the wooden sidewalk. Many of them carried flowers to deck the monument raised in the memory of dead comrades. As those of the student band went by, the girl handed over the wreath to Hayes, who had been Harlson's best friend. You're not going to the services? he asked hurriedly. She shook her head, turned quickly to hide her tears and with drooping head walked slowly up the shell-bordered path into the house. R.

May they meet with as few rebuffs from the faculty committee as is compatible with their own good. We wish to extend our thanks to Mr. E. F. Rogers, Mr. Ned Abbot, Mr. E. A. Jason, Mr. Clarence Walter, Mr. S. C. Long, Miss Nellie Green and the Alumni for the aid they have so kindly given us, and also to the Class of 1906 who have loyally supported us. If you, fellow students and students of earlier days, find aught to please in these pages, or if in some future time a long forgotten joke or familiar picture shall call back to mind pleasant memories of bygone days, the hope of the Junior Annual Board of 1906 will be realized.
