TO iSittus ilattlTrht 3lnupa who, more than anyone else, has given us ideals foi- which to strive, we dedicate this wholly inadequate Record of our Class life. g-— - E have been happy here at Haverford — more happy than we ever can express. W I No more at sundown on a troSly autumn day shall we hear, coming across ■ Walton, the joyous, confident notes of the Football Song; nor in the dining- ■ ' ' room, during supper, those mighty, swelling choruses we have grown to love so well. No longer shall we gather on Founders ' steps to sing our hearts out in the summer twi- light. These things are now gone from us. All that remain to us are memories and echoes. In this book we have tried to hold some of these echoes. That is all. At beSl they are but songs sung low and far away. Yet our purpose will have been accomplished if we have been able to seize upon some of them before they passed from us and keep them sounding through the years — that, hearing them once more, however faintly, we may remember, and so press on, encouraged. .- '  V •, f? ? f t t ' ff f t if, THE CLASS Class O f s Mark Herbert Carver Spiers - - President George Smith Bard - - - Vice-President Robert Lindley Murray Underhill Secretary Gerald Hartley Deacon - - - Treasurer GEORGE S.MlTll UARD.

RUBE 28 THE DINING HALL THE CLASS IN FRESHMAN YEAR We didn ' t feel very happy. A few of us had anxiously compared answers to the third in Algebra B, most of us had finished the entrance examinations, and no one knew exactly what to do next. Here and there in the vicinity of Roberts Hall, groups of us who had become acquainted while signing father ' s name in full. sat around under the trees and gave our reasons for having come to Haverford. Occasionally, upper-classmen wandered along, hailed each other with unmistakable signs of appreciation, and disappeared into Barclay with a certain air of ownership that only increased our somewhat lonely feeling. Someone suggested a class meeting to get ' em all together, all the boys. and we were shortly organized into the first edition of the Class of 1909. An earnest speech from Tommy Brown, explain- ing the intricacies of the cane-rush, the selection of Bard, Philips and Spaeth as cane-men, and our first class meeting was over. From that moment our spirits began to rise, individually as Freshmen and o - lectively as a Class. The cane-rush we lost. We have no excuse to offer for this, except that the Sopho- mores were fortunate enough to have six more hands on the cane than we had, which may account for our defeat. That fir st night! Certainly not the easiest, but the most lasting, lcs iin of our entire curriculum. 31 We had been warned not to paint, so some of our more desperate characters scribbled the numerals on bits of paper and pinned them up on the old gymnasium at Merion ! In Barclay, things were even worse. Charlie Marsh entered into the spirit of things with characteristic Indian Territory broadness, and packed trembling Freshmen into Sophomore beds, telling them to stay there until called for. Allan Hill ' s desperate effort to procure an idea is another bright star on the horizon of that first night of College. The parade was certainly an artistic triumph. Headed by Martin, an innocent ultra-suburbanite, we wound our way to the station and back across the campus, chanting to the admiring ladies in the break- cart, How green I am, how green I am, — rendered even more plaintive by an original close harmony chord that Joe discovered before we had gotten to the fortieth verse. Percy maintained a discreet silence. By this bit of foresight, he was able to avoid the delicate subject of long trousers — he was ruining the crease in his first pair. The Saturday following saw our football team go down before the Sophomores by a 5-0 score. George Bard had been elected captain, and although we fought hard, lack of experience and a too modest dispositon turned the tide of battle against us. On Tuesday, October 3rd, 1905, there occurred, in Barclay Hall, an event which is of interest to all who believe in Freshman submission — the last of the uniquely Haverfordian Soap-Slides. After the preliminary sixty bars of soap had been well ground into the floor, and thoroughly saturated to preclude all possibility of keeping one ' s feet, a few of our heaviest offenders went through, merely to test the equipment before t he rush of the evening. A long, flying start, several wildly uncertain steps, a tennis net appearing among one ' s feet, a soggy pillow and a long slide on hands and face, preferably the latter, followed by a blind groping for the towel — and then another flying start. Up and down that long hall we ran and slipped and crawled. Some were trains, some were cows on the track; all were soaked and blinded and miserable. Anxiously we watched Raymond balancing on an ear, and heard the sickening swish of the fire-bucket contents as they disappeared into his nervously opened mouth. In the lurid half-light of many push-button hand lights and dripping candles held high above our heads, we gradually soaked up or scattered soap and water, and when dry spots began to appear upon the floor, we were ordered to change our clothes and appear immediately in the Old Collection Room. A watery-eyed, but clean, line of Freshmen we were as we filed in, mournfully singing the familiar hymn. Even Kiddo had caught what he seriously thought was the tune. Kip had to repeat his Than- thord High Thcool several times, and Joe made his first hit with the College when he got as far as the ceiling and returned to the blanket in a shower of plaster and stars. 32 (;nc would have tli(iiii, ' lu that uc had had en uigh ■•hnrsing, Imt u,- had cati.i, ' ht the i)irit i.f the and l)egan plutting darkly against each other. X(jt a night passed without the familar iron rattle duin])ing thin and sliding tall of l ' .illy Warner ' s gang. Long after lights were nut. oors ui the first rioor of liarclay would continue to bang, and bobbing lights burned u]i and down that gloriously long hall where ai)|)le-oores and even sky-rockets had so often made suc- cessful flights — things unknown to the |ire-.ent generation. One of us had read in an ancient Class Record of a bath that Itad been given to a fellow-classmate in tlicir bVeshman Year. A rather n ivel idea — and we began to cast about to see who should be the victim. We were not long in deciding. L ' n fortunately, the l)oor boy took it as a personal offence, and sev- eral (lays later was seen leaving College, drag- ging his trunk behind him. The more one writes, the thicker the memories come crowding back. The night when Percy, poor i to facilitate Dean I ' .arrett ' s golf play- neally wrappeil and crated. ,il ,a neigh- boring residence with warning i)lacards, Xot to be fed I However, our lime was not entirely taken up by pla ' . Heavy social responsibilities began to crowd upon us. We had the pleasure of meeting at Hancock ' s, and re-meeting at the President ' s recep- tion, the neighborhood ' s more gentle iiroductions. This was very interesting in disclosing those of us wdio were at all experienced in the art. although the inexperienced y v :n more amusing. Pefore Christ- mas vaeation, several Sophomores came around one evening and (old us that the College was pl.anning a surprise inr the neighborhood. We would be i ermit1ed to set otf the lire-works, if we bought them! We appreciated the privilege, and proceeded to collect funds and lire-wood. What a night that was! The llames tievoured the iiarclay Ira.sh-barreK and the iiiierior wn.idwork of the new dining nmrn with eijiial voracity, roaring ami crackling lo the -tars to the acomipaninienl of niany-eol,,red Konian ciudle.-. kid, crawled out at Mcrion and began eatiii}; r I 33 sky-rockets and I ' .engal fire. We ilanced and cheered each other and tlie Ardmore pohce. who appeared breathlessly, according to a time-honored custom. Far into the morning we celebrated and then scattered for the all too short Christmas vacation. After the holidays, Freshman life became a little more serious, but only a little. Those of us who were athletically inclined spent evenings in the gymnasium mastering Jimmy ' s technical terms, or envi- ously watching fearless upper-classmen swing clubs and exercise the chest-weights. Dick Mott even succeeded in making the gym. team, but many of us preferred less vio- lent indoor sports. Johnnie ' s room became a hot-bed of five hundred, chess and the more brutal Krieg-spiel. Then there were the bowling alleys and the library, the aims and purposes of which latter important adjunct Isaac carefully explained to us in Collection one morning. Ray- mond took extensive notes, but none of the rest of us were appreciabh ' alTected by the advice. In those days there were no Freshmen whom we had to take seriously, no Jun- ior Play to cause nightmares and sick headaches, and no caps and gowns and thoughts of leaving. We simply lived, climbed the temporary stairs to our meals in the Y. M. C. A. room, and had no thoughts of the morrow or the day after. We scored a complete victory over the Sophomores later in the in the interclass debate, evening, as a couple of plain friends, .Alfred and Warry walked away with the cake. Let us hasten over the two weeks of mid-year examinations. Suffice it to say that the first warm days in i Iarch found them a matter of history, and symptoms of the annual spring-fever epidemic rap- idly developing among us. A few had tried their hand at cricket in the shed and, quite confident of hav- ing inastered that most difficult game, were anxious to knock our Class bowlers out of the, figurative, lot. The .April make-ups swept over us, and when the shower passed there were a few scattered rays of sunshine, but for others the clouds still hung above the low horizon of the passing mark. But we were Freshmen. Even the tell-tale cards from Oscar could not long cast a gloom over our spirits. . s spring advanced and the cool shadows of the old trees around Barclay called us from our close rooms, we could not help feeling that it was pleasant to be alive and here at College, though the sensation was purely one of satisfaction and not attection. We had not vet learned what it all meant. 34 At last tlicrc camt a day when the Sophomores called a joint class meeting. They assuretl us that their discipline had been all tor our own good, that we would realize next year what it meant to have the Freshmen well-trained, and finally presented the spoon as a token of good-fellowship, hastily adding that the rules would continue to the end of the year. This last remark called forth considerable opposition from Johnny Green, who declared that they ought to ' ve kept their old spoon if they wouldn ' t let us have it without a string. However, the principal class-feeling was now over and we proudly selected the design for our class hats, and appointed nur ndes and horsing committees. In one of the last class- meetings of the year we elected Charlie .Marsh Sophomore President, and after that our work was over. To be sure Class Day came along. We opened our delighted eyes and mouths at unheard-of quantities of fresh strawberries and ice cream, wore our new white hats jauntily about the campus, and felt that at last we had Ijecome the most important organization in tlie College. 35 THE CLASS IN SOPHOMORE YEAR Ktal wclajme wa?. in our eyes, and our liand grips were tight as we greeted one another after the long vacation. Then for the first time many of us realized what it means to l)e a Havcrfordian. anrl tliat word, the fellows, began to take on its magic. We were doomed not to be a howling .success as Sophomores. Much anxious thought, much prof- itless discussion we had expended in our efforts to provide our victims with a soa|i-slide : but in vain. The decree of the l ' rcsi lent. sterner than fate, could not lie moved. Emboldened by the knowleilge that it was not to be, our pnjteges celebrated by strewing the townshi]) with their numerals. It was a rash action, however, for they found the picking them- up again somewhat tedious. The sensations of com- pelling, at the end of flash light and hoarse voice, ten times your number of burly but obedient Freshmen to their labor, we found novel and pleasurable. Xot only did they have the ground spic and span before morning, but just when they were counting on a little rest after their laliors. they received our invitation to perform their ablutions in jniblic, for the amusement of our elve and the rest of the College. Alto- gether we made a good night of it. Once fairly started tiiion our duties as mentors, we made a high resolve to perform our task thor- oughly. Within a week we taught the F ' reshmen their jilace in the cane-rush and in the bridge-rush. The football game was a heart-breaker. The last moments of that game are as vivid to us as ever. The sun is sinking behind the observatory and shadow is settling over Walton, . gain and again Peter and ( ieorge crash through the Freshmen ' s crumbling line, until the ball rests on their one-yard line with one miiuue to play. The crowd is gathered around the goal in darkne . The juniors yell their agony. W ' e exhort 37 df ' . For the Guidance of fresh ....kih. SOPHOMORE, Mr.. our victorious team. In the uproar the signal is given and missed. As the ball is snapped to the left, our backfield dash through to the right. The score remains a tie, the Freshmen shriek with joy, and we are forced to content ourselves with that empty phrase — a moral victory. One solace was that we could wreak our revenge in other ways. We resorted to a Freshman Parade and to Friday nights. In the former we exhibited our charges, ever ' loud tie worn as an anklet or armlet, every pink silk garter as an earring, to the admiring gaze of the good citizens of Haverford. And our sinister president gave an impressive oration on h resh- ness. The exciting moment of Friday nights was when we marshalled half their Class at each end of the corridor and comniandeil tliem to charge. . s Freshmen, uniler like circumstances, we had carefully refrained from personal injury or loss of life. We were then surprised and pleased when our Freshmen actually collided with all the kinetic energy of the Chicago limited. We were e(|ually surprised, but not pleased, at a bill we received next day. Twenty- five dollars for an insignificant Freshman ' s tooth seemed pretty steep. Since the soap-slide was no more, we were especially anxious that the time-honored customs of sessions and water falls should flourish. Many an unsuspecting Fresh- man on his way to his room from dinner was met in the hall by a gentle spray from the founts of the third floor. It was in this connection that Gerry immortalized himself. The Freslimen, not appreciating the sacredness of the custom, ascended one night to the third floor, armed with buckets, brooms and mops, — truly a consecrated band of street cleaners. They were met on the landing by Gerry, in all the six feet of his Sophomore pride. ( There were a half dozen of us there, but, of course, the rest of us didn ' t count. ) Go down, said Gerry. And so imposing - it CU.!. nton , PAX VOBISCUMI 38 was his aspect that they went without a wonl. An appeal to the Advisory Board Ijrought to liglit tlic fact that that august body was not in favor of water falls. We were wise enough to throw no more water, and to drown our cares in a Class Banquet. At the banquet we had a jolly, rollicking time. Xever shall we forget the sparkling wit of Percy and Rube. or the magnificent eulogy by old horse Charlie. Good-fellowship proved contagious, and we prolonged our revelr) ' till late. On our return to Barclay in the wee hours, we were met by the valiant Sidney, who informed us that the Freshmen in our absence had boldly raided oiu ' rooms and dumped our beds. But, added Sidney, I saw to it that they fixed them up again. A nocturnal meeting fol- lowed an l our plan was formed. Already our great gaunt hands were stretching forth to clutch the offensive Freshmen, when a later train brought our conservatives to the scene. Pointing out that it was late in the year for horsing, they carried the niglit, and the Freshmen escaped all inmishnient for their intrepid daring, except a little wholesome advice. There was one custom, however, which seemed in no immediate langer of destruction; a custom strangely hallowed in the eyes of Isaac, of the Faculty, of Seniors, of Juniors, of Caleb; a cu.stom wdiose sacredness the .sons of Xineteen-Xine, ardent supporters of College tradition though they were , failed to appreciate; Dr. Babbitt ' s course in physical culture. With painful monotony we wended our daily way gyniward, where we industriously tapped the floor with wands, dived onto mats, danced, climbed ropes, or stood in rows, agape with admiration for the graceful convolutions of the black tights on the plat- form. But it was worth while. We were developing, — yes, — a cultivated musical sense, a dxnaniic nega- tive vocabulary, and Tommy Lewis. With the coming of the winter months we entered upon a quieter period of existence. We had always regarded our tutelage of the Freshtnen rather as a responsibility than as a pleasure, ancl were frankly glad when it was over. There was. however, plenty of excitement for our rather active atten- tion. In a great political parade to Bryn llawr we defied the Red Lion, and showed that we bore our honored President no malice by a transparency, which informed the world in general that mow vntes for Sharpless, In the track meet in the fall the Freshmen had smitten us sorely. Xow revenge came sweetly in the soccer game, which we won 5-0, and from which dates the rise in renown of Bully Lewis. In the interclass debate, the I ' Veshmen succeeded in convincing the judges, in spite of Robert ' s logic and Charlie ' s majestic ajipearancc. Soon after this we came whole through the excitement of our first Fac- ulty Tea. When occu|)ation from natural causes failed us. we did not stop at creating a little. Both Chase 39 anil liarclay llalls were favored as scenes of operations. One memorable ni.t lit a crowd of ns were loaf- ing in Robert ' s room, recuperating from (jur Herculean efforts at the recent mid-years. Stokes, restless that such an iip]50rtimit ' slKjuld be wasted, was walking the hall, longing for a snowball. Xatnre was not kind, Imt W ' arry was a genius, and proceeded to invent a substitute. In the midst of our talk and laughter, a candy box, nicely filled with water, suddenly hurtled against the wall and bust in a shower of spray ; while Warrv. with a demoniacal yell, disappeared down the hall. In two minutes the crowd was laying vigorous and lii|uiil siege to the room of W ' arrv ' s con- federates. Reinforcements arrived, the fight became general, and with sallies and Cdunter-sallies, we soaked each other to our hearts ' content. Rube always was thin, but with the big drops trickling from eyelids, nose and finger-tips, he assumed all the enchantment of the smiling fountain nymph. . nd all because W ' arry couldn ' t find a snowball. Those were the days when Johnnie ran his aiuusement parlor, open all night, as far as we were concerned, but not in the morning. One could knock on the door at 7.30 . . M.. and by peeking through a hole, get exquisite sensations. John ' s big toe, witli his sleepy roimd face as a background, was art. Unfortunately, the vision didn ' t last long as a rule, for Johnnie had n jt implicit confidence in the strength of his lock. One night when Johnnie, on fussing bent, returned from shaving, he found that same lock turned against him. Come on, fellows, 1 haven ' t time to fool. No answer. Then those of us read in romance might have been reminded of the legend of .Arthur ' s sword, had it nut Ireen for the crash of the panel, and the brawn nf the arni that appeared. Johiuiie was easily excited in those days. The winter months passed, and by some strange magic we were listening to the crack of the bats from Walton, or watching Rube jog out to the track. Soon came our last chance at the Freshmen — the cricket game. They beat us, but we were far too happy to worry about it. Lament was not possible in our surroimdings. Just at the end of the year, we put aside for a moment on-coming upper-clas.sman dignity, and returned to one more good old rotigh-house. Charlie Thompson had condescended to forget temporarily bis llaltimo belles, and had gone fussing in the vicinity. We took advantage of his alisence to stack his room, barricading the door and leaving by the fire-escape. When Charlie retmmed and tried his door, a smile went around the circle. But Charles was not to be outwitted so easily. With an 40 ■■I ' ll tixil you sort ol leer. I-.c resorted to the hre-escajje. Listening at the door, we ])ietureil with glee his round-eyed expression as his face eanie above the sill, and he was heard to pronounce softlv just one monosyllable. But this was only as a drop to our thirst. I ' apa and Mark, returning from like expeditions, were seized, carried upstairs, summarily put to bed and dumped. .Vml when |ohnnie. ■ ' I ' apa, Lawrence and Lloyd sneaked off to enjoy a (|iiiet game, wc turned our attention tn Jnhnnie ' s room. .A denuded room, with every i)artiele of furniture mounting in grandeur to the centre of the ceil- ing, is truly an impressive spectacle. At least it imjiressed Johnnie Co.. who vowed revenge. .And in the early hours we listened to the bang! bang! bang! of our empty beds under Johnnie ' s relentless hands. It was our la.st rough-house, and we made it worthy tjf the name. Finals passed and were passed, anil Class Day came. The last act of our . oplmmore Year was characteristic of 1909. Late Class Day night we gathered on the Cricket F ' avilion stejjs and sang. The campus had already .shed its gala garb, and had assumed once more its natural beauty. . nd as we broke up to go our summer ways, with glances at Cope, at the tower of ( Jld llarclay. and at the low, peaceful hbrary in the west, we thanked heaven that we were only Soi)homores. 41 THE CLASS IN JUNIOR YEAR Witli a hearty rcmlitinn of I ' .oys, Again We Are Mere, Xineteen-Xine juljilantiv rlinil}e(l the staircase of old liarclay. Innied her suit-cases at the unmade beds, and ensconced herself on the win- dow ledges. The College was ours. True, there wire a few Seniors about, but that did not matter; and for all their caps and gowns, we were the lords of creation. With no graduation theses staring us in the face, with no responsibility of the horsing game on our minds, and with only alwut two-thirds of the col- lege athletics to take care of, we were su|)remely happy. Four of our number took advantage of some vacancies in Lloyd Hall, and moved over. . lso, we were well represented in .Merion. where .some dozen had decided to spend the year. bounders was given a little delegation of four. Barclay came in fi r the residue — .some si.xteen or more. I!ut one and all were light-hearted. . nil with good cause. .Among other things, our com-.ses were, for the first time, of our own electing: and we proceeded to specialize with a vengeance. Sandt. of Coopcrtown fame, joined us this year, and proved himself in every way a worthy member of tile glorious band. The fact tliat we were Juniors bec(jming ever more and more impressed on our minds, the need of some specific devilishness forced itself to the fore, and sought a means of escape. Most n our num- ber now liaving become confirmed slaves of the weid, class-pipes were determined on as a necessarv and 43 fitting complement of our eciiiipment for the pursuance of the path of progress. But we felt that we must not allow all our emotions to evaporate in mere clouds of smoke. To meet this requirement, a piano was installed in Barclay third, South. Those were the days when only real music drifted through the windows; the days before Robert had mastered Solomon Levi ; before Kiddn wmild render his pain- ful translations of The Message of the Violet, and when we could live through the Ciypsy Trail with- out an anaesthetic. Then Spiers would ripple off P ' ruehlingsrauschen, or one of the Songs Without Words in the most approved form, while the rest of us lay back on couches and Morris-chairs, and allowed our fancy a brief migration into the Poets ' No-Man ' s Land. Or Johnny would travel over from Founders, and wax ecstatic as Chopin ' s Trauermarsch was rolled out. Or the Count woukl_clear his thrciat and give us the latest Indian love lyric, the standard never falling below the higher class of rag-time. But the times changed. Soon every man along the hall could play The Tavern in the Town, and a chosen few would mount to even more startling heights. Pennvpacker ' s persistency in overcoming certain stuljbiirn chords, and his occasional performances of the X ' ictim Dance, were of this sort. E ' .ut music did not claim (lur entire attention. Our thoughts were drawn ])erforce to matters more material. The panic of 1907 was now in full blast, and the capitalists among us were horrified to find that Oscar, following the methods of his fellow-financiers, suspended specie payments. Also football was on again, and several of our members were either playing on the team, or conscientiously working away at the scrub. This year, more than ever heretofore, did we get into the spirit of those old football meetings, and put both heart and voice intci Ilaverford I ' orever, and the other slogans of the gridiron. Meantime, all our spare moments were spent psychologizing. The piux Ego, as such, and as every- thing else that the poor misjudged beast was ever mistaken for. was the lasting topic of conversation. Every- where the word was: Why not be a philosopher? Looks better on the report than engineering, and takes only half the work. Yielding to the force of such indisputable logic, big Bill Febiger forsook the delights of Whitall Hall for a more classical and economic existence; while others wished that they had. . nd now the theatre campaign started, and at least tw ' o nights a week would find Uncle Ade and his family off to the Casino. Profiting bv their good example, the rest of us would occasionally drop into town of an evening, to keep in touch with the contemporary histrionics. In fact, several of our numlier became veritable slaves of the show habit. Now it was that Robert gained his reputation of final authority on the light opera, and that the very name of The Rose of the Rancho became a synonym for all that was fair and lovely. But soon the play question began to claim our attention nearer home, when Mr. Philips, of the Play Committee, decreed that henceforth rehearsals would be held twice 44 ,. f . a week. So we set to work with nii ;ht ami main, and even the tragedy of broken dates was held as noth- ing conipareil witli liie I ' lay. - s Mark said one day, We must sacrifice everything hut our lessons. We di I. I ' liit still we found time for a little skating. — on the pond, of course. Never has there been a Mid- Year ' s without skating, and never better than in Junior Year. Those who did not own skates woulil borrow or steal them, a nd would make for the pond, royalty-caps and all. Skating at Haverford has nianv attractions besides the mere skating, as most of us had found out. From this time dated Charlie ' s and Jimmic ' s great rivalry, which lasted till the winter was over. Glee Club had started u]) again. We had the leadershi]). and, in fact, most of the membership, in our Class. Medlevs were revived, and impromptus in lulged in upon all occasions. All of us remember the night we serenaded llryn Mawr. We were in the best of voice; the moon was full, and the night was warm. Could anylliing be lacking? lliu, unfor- tunately, something was lacking, and that no less fun- damental a thing than the fair collegians them.selves. We discovered, the day after, that it was s])ring vaca- tion time at liryn Mawr, and that all oiu art had been thrown away on the desert air; which, being in- terpreted, mean.s — on the chambermaids. It was some time before we repeated the experiment. .And all this time faithful work on the l lay wa going on. Rehearsals were held almost daily, and one day Mark forgot lunch and (ilee Club both to co])y Dreaming. lUit then Dreaming had a special sig- nificance for Mark, as appeared later on. . nd if il must be confessed, dreaming was ])retty prevalent with all rif us as spring wore on. and the rejilics to oiir invitations came in. Jimmie ' s room up in .Sopho- moredom grew very |)opidar. and with fast-beating hearts we dived into the daily croj) of accejrtances ami regrets. When not engaged here we wotdd build air 45 castles on the campus, or summer-houses in the g ' mnasium. or string Japanese lanterns around in gen- eral. George, with his squad of engineers, put up little poles and electric wires, while the rest of us tried to ascertain how much strength it would take to knock them down. Ren ' and the Property Committee kept busy at the temple and the rest of the draperies, within the confines of Roberts Hall. And when the evening rehearsals were over, we would wander out on the campus and sing some more ; or, perhaps, just sit and watch the stars, and pray that May 15th be such a night as the present one. But in accord- ance with Mark ' s wise admonition, we never neglected our lessons. . nd then the I ' lay itself, with all the joys attendant thereon! Perhaps, greatest of these was the meeting afterwards in the gymnasium, when, satisfied with ourselves, each other, and the rest of the world, we joined together in a health to Nineteen-Nine. Then. f(ir the first time, we felt the strong bond that had grown of our work together, and had at last formed our Class into a united hand if brothers, in heart as well as in name. But after action must follow re-action — not the least distressing form of which, in the present case, evinced itself in meeting Johnnie Green ' s little statements of our indebted- ness. l;!ut even this depressing force could not throw a per- manent clam|)er on ouv spirits, and easy at heart, we settled down to enjoy the little lull before the summer vacation. There followed various little incidents to keep us amused. Baker ' s Bib. Lit. will not be soon forgotten by those who attended it. Especially funny was the time when philosophic Alfred was requested to leave the room because he happened to be within at least six feet of Mose and the rest of the storm centre. About this time the inmates of !Merion. wa.xing pug- nacious, rejuvenated the time-honored Order of the K. T. B. Under the lead of Ren and VVarry, silent and majestic they moved upon Barclay, holy-water and the other unholy implements of the chase in hand. Quietly, but forcefully, they added to their ranks all their unfortunate compeers, 46 nolens volens. Much force, and that very artistically apijiied. was necessary for the ac(|uisition of several burly brothers. Tommy Lewis required half a quart of linseed oil. But once induced to join, so ardent did these new members become that even the telephone was resorted to, to bring in fresh candidates. It was the one grand rough-house of Junior Year. Then study was temporarily revived. Especially did it become popular in the open-air form, initil every fine afternoon found some hardworking Junior holding up several pillows and a tree with his back, while he imbibed everything from Seager to Paradise Lost. Some of us would indulge in cricket, as a less strenuous way of passing the time. .And every evening, after the ice-tea had settled, we would flock out to the campus again, and play cricket after the Continental fashion, or catch flies. Then, when dusk fell, we would stroll off in companies for a starlight walk, or would sit and sing. Never has Xine- teen-Xine tired of singing. And so Junior Year ended. . few examinations, easily passed; a glorious fuss, or a silent niu.se, on Class Day and Commencement : and hearts that had begun to ache a year ahead of time, as we stripped our rooms, and temporarily closed up our closets. Then we were Seniors. But as Jimior Year was near us in time then, so will the happy memories of it be near our hearts always, as they were when we stood before old Foun lers and sang our last Yo! Yo ! Yo ! Xineteen-Xine ! 47 THE LIBRARY SENIOR YEAR l ' rL--iilcnt Sharjiless cuiK ' luck-d his rcnuirks of ailjuration to tlii. ' Sophomores and cncourayx ' iiicnt to tlie Kreshnien. paused for a ninment while the atmosphere hecanie pregnant with imjjending reverence, and liowed appropriately to the Class of Xineteen-Xine. At last we had succeeded to the presidential nod. and we arose and filed out of Collection with the assurance of Seniors. Cnlike the experience of our predecessors, however, we were not immediately waited U])on hy the I ' aculty, in respectful congregation, eager to procure our assistance in tlie management of the College. The sense of .Seniorial dignity, which such a circumstance would have fostered, was in no wise induced by the attitude of disheartening indifference maintained hy the autliorities in our case. We were left to disentangle ourselves from the previous year ' s halo of glorious irresponsibilitv. and develop a more sedate character, as best we might, nor was success instantanecjus. To cuerce several of our members into matu- rity required earnest and prolonged efforts, and to accustom our bashful protagonists to the collegiate lime- light was also a matter of some difficulty. . t length, however, all obstacles were triumphantly overcome. Then the brand of parliamentary law administered in our College meetings became irreproachable; our gowns depreciated so in interest that the regular wearing of cajjs also was found practicable and stimu- lating; and even the brilliant wailing service of William the Cidtured ceased to inspire the original awe. Class inspection then revealed some changes in our (jrganism. We were foimd. unfortunately, to have lost . 1 and . de. who left to join prematurely the ranks of industry. While the Xineteen-Xine territory in Lloyd Hall was thus reduced to the holdings of I ' Ved and I ' .ill. our foothold in iMiuiiders was consiflerably strengthened by the arrival of several new men. Peter ' s s(|uad of the inarticidate was swelled by the addition of Morris and .Martinson; Swedish gymnastics became known in their unpolluted form 49 through llrviio; the cause of local option was advanced by the enlistment of ■atson anil Raifurd ; and. finallv, the Solid South resolved itself into a distributing and receiving centre of rough-house in the short and compact person of one Doak. And now the College arose in its lustiness, proclaiming itself seventy-five years ol l, and desirous of celebrating its birthdav in properly festive manner. Isaac took charge of baking the cake and ])r(icuring the candles, which latter were constituted by professorial shining lights collected throughout the country. Headed bv our august Dean and the Senior Class, the sacred procession moved slowly across the campus, amidst gambolling undergraduates, with all the solemnity and impressiveness that attended the Eleusin- ian mysteries of old. The rites were observed faultlessly and without omission, but lest there should be any doubt, we clinched the matter the next day by defeating Franklin-Marshall in the best played game of the year, 6-0. To speak of the football season of iyo8 is to refer probably to one of the most ill-fated athletic jjeriods that llaverford has ever undergone. With a ' arsity nucleus of unusual strength, we entered upon a long series of disastrous accidents, which allowed the team to attain its fidl [lower in scarcely one game. That through it all the Haverford spirit persisted with undiminished vigor is needless to say. or that, taking all together, the College need in no wise be ashamed of the work of her team. r.ut as for the sideline phase of football, it was progressing as cheerily as ever. Orators Babbitt and Hancock were tapped for the yearly flow of limpid rhettiric. the bass dnnn of the Penn House Brass Band luiderwent its annual demolishment and reconstruction, and the customary amount of Old Collec- tion Room glass was joyously shattered at Oscar ' s expense. Then, out on the field itself. Joe Penny- packer, equipped with an entirely new and improved set of demonstrations, governed the blast with tireless energy. [ ootball season over. Christmas hove in sight, and with true regard for tradition, we resolved to have a Christmas tree. Lloyd being absorbed in town, and Founders and Merion deterred by denom- inational orthodoxy, it remained for Barclay to satisfy the demands of the season. The necessaries were accumulated and the Class invited to attend, which it did in thoroughly jiroper spirit. When a brace of melodious sleigh-bells had jangled out the arrival of each successive man. the exercises commenced in time-honored manner with the dismantling of the tree. The selection of gifts had been highly judicious. Miller and Sandt. our indefatigable Court of Last Retort, were symbolically requested to discontinue pub- lic hearings. Clarence was urged, with admirable delicacy, to complete the adjustment of his relations with the foriuer managers of the store. To the Count ' s collection of radiant ornaments a contribution, such 50 as we could aft ' ord. was made, while Perce, our youngest, was for the first time provided with the longed- for bottle, without which his existence had been precarious. L!y similar methods, our other members were either furnished with helpful suggestions for future self-improvement, or encouraged in present innocent foibles, until, this aspect of Christmas duly remembered, the Founders Hall delegation outraged time and jjiace by promoting a final reluctant .Senior rough-house. With the passing of Christmas Tommy Lewis came into his own. for it was the era of the ascend- ency of gymnasium. L ' nder his leadership the team practised assiduously, and made a creditable showing in tile few scheduled meets. The pre-eminent season for social endeavor now arriving, we found that candi lates to rejjresent us in this field of activity were not lacking. Fired by the persistent absences from College of the Count, and the glorious social impressions of the Baron, man after man rendered himself ornate with a purpose and sallied forth. Wayne to Thompson, and Conshohocken to Hamilton soon became magic names. Jimmie succeeded weekly in finding someone willing to superintend his descents upon .Xrdmore. Shar])less ' visits to surrounding parlors took on an added ferocity and uproar, indicative of enthusiasm. Fven the sup- posedly innocuous and domestic Brey was one day discovered to be embroiled ] in .Vorth Broad. But all these were as sounding brass. Month after month Spiers had been sitting (|uietly in his room, affix- ing with daily zeal the winged postage stamp, and finally the efficacy of his medium of exchange was proved. The neces.sary food was one night provided, and the triumphant announcement made, and then for the rest of the evening a .soulful chorus rendered with the deepest concern : There . re Fyes of B.lue. Winter being generally observed throughout the .State, we turned witli legitimate int erest to tlie attractions of town, eyeing in particular its dining facilities. For the ruggedness of the llaverford menu was making its perennially acute imiiression. and we sought the customary encouragement. A l ' .an(|uct Cr)mmittec was therefore marshalled about Bill Fcbigcr. according to inviolable jirecedent. anil intrusted with the commissariat function and the excavation of speaking talent througliout the Class. .Strange to say, we hruiestly believe that the speeches were fairly good. 0])timism for Lowry, and The Philo- sophy of Work for Kitchen, proved subjects especially felicitous and soul-searching. The interludes of the Toastmaster Avere marvels of Gerry ' s delightfully unpremeditated art. It was ilie last and best of our han- |uets, for we came together, not in the factions of our younger days, but as the . ' ineteen-Xine which through the shakings of time had etTectually foinid herself. But through all the vicissitudes of love, digestion. an l the weather, soccer, our thriving infant industry, had been claiming constant attention. The Class went out practically in a body, and many sur- 51 LLOYD HALL vivors were at hand when the lntei-cullegiate opened. It was here that S])aeth ' s iinfurtiinate acciilent was most felt. Deprived of his captaincy, the team fell somewhat hcluw the records of former years, although scoring victories over Harvard and Cornell, and tying witli oin- cn-champinns. Vale. In the interclass series, after playing a well-fought tie game with the Juniors, we lost tn them in the cleciding contest. Cricket and track succeeded soccer in the realm of legitimate enterprise, nor was Johnnie Oeen ' s baseball heresy entirely stamped out. Then came the imperial ukase bidding us construct those monu- ments of our awakened intellects, the Senior theses. ' ith hopeful countenance the untutored engineers of the Class enter the final struggle with the necessity for lit erary expression. .Again Percy hopes that the authorities will see more in his theme than he did. Others of us, in oiu ' researches, discover Chaucer, and hasten to assure the learned world of his e.xcellence, or lend the assistance of a trained mind to the falter- ing corpuscular theory of matter. On the ledgers in Roberts Hall, we have each become credited with one complete college eilucation, although the effects are not, as yet, distressingly evident. Still there remains to us a triumph in other realms. One evening the Count gleamed happily amid sandwiches and nut-cakes, and ])roclaimed himself a fit subject for congratulations. Two gone ! . n l now we are jjassing, for the last time, thro igh the wonders of a Haverford s] ring. With our first experience of these months, as Freshmen, we awoke to tlieir beauty and their meaning, and pitied the Seniors. To us ourselves the final moments have arrived. ()ftcn, with the coming of evening, we gather u])on I ' oimders ' steps, to sing the songs to which have become attached the memories of four glad years, (irouped solidly together, each one the centre of men whose hearts he has read, and whose friendship is the most valued prize of his college course, we sit watching darkness fall over the scene we know so well. Through the trees shine the lights of the gymnasium and of gr.-iml old I ' .arclav. .symbols of the striving and the companion.sbip that have been ours. Across the camiius before us strolls a happier lower-classman, buoyant in the tliought of years to come. .And as our harmony drifts out on the evening air, there steals in the irrepressible note of wistfidness. for in many ways the.se davs that tiash by us are the richest of our lives, and the parting they have in train the most severe we shall face. And yet. for that moment we feel merely sorrow, ami not fear, h ' or there is no parting that can destroy the spirit which rules and animates our Clas.-, However far we mav go down the e;n-s, each one will carry with him something of College, something of the tem|xr uhicli i- mm liinding u- together. That we have done for Haverfcjrd what we should, we can only hope, but the time cannot come when we shall lose our gratitude to her, not only for the power and tlie aims she has given, bin for moulding anri inspiring the Class of . ineteen-. ine. 53 MERION COTTAGE ARNA VIRUnOUE TAKEN PIRECTLY FROM i ■ -.v - ' J n 55 THE Pun IS niGHTIEf BARD.

His Vocabulary is easily mastered. It consists of: (i) What ' re you playin ' ? (2) You ' ll get well : (3) Oh. you kid! Song: I ' m the Neatest Thing on Broad- BRYXE. ANDREAS.— A descend- ant of the Vikings, who has finally been persuaded to utilize the Building for sleeping purposes, and forego the customary Breakfast of icicles and stalactites. He is indigenous to Ice- bergs and Glaciers, and to function properly, should always be preserved in an atmosphere from which the Heat Waves have been carefully dusted. His greatest fad is the ac- cumulation of Languages, which has been going on steadily for some time, until he has now a complete Collec- tion. The greatest oi these is Hips Firm, Keck Firm, Cliest Firm. Fa- vorite song : In . n Old Tongue .At .All. 56 CROWRLL. J. VV ' .— Our littK- Lamh.

H.— ' Ihe only man in College of sufficient mental grasp to appreciate Hairbreadth Harry. Al- so of some note, owinji to his lack of Physical Minuteness. His Motto is his own expression of the relation he conceives existing between Tall- ness and Brains. An attempt has been made to discourage such mournful Introspection on his ] art. Experi- ences in the West during impression- istic years have given him material for lurid Extravaganzas, now out of Print, owing to the severe demands they make upon Italics, Exclamation Points and Red Type. His attitude to. ward tlie Inanimate, as expressed in tiulliotls t f erbal nnd active Re- buke, is decidedly Primitive, but not without Charm.

He is credit- ed with Intelligence of a certain sort, and a sense of Humor of entirely original construction. With these goes an Urbanity which requires fre- quent Satisfaction, especially in the field of Hair Cuts, and to meet the Tonsorial Demand alone, a special hundred trip Ticket is maintained. He also carries ahout a Memory for facts of inestimable Gross Tonnage.

WILLIAM SELLERS. — A prehistoric Remain, disinterred under severe protest, and since pre- served at some distance from the Curriculum and other sources of un- necessary Exertion. He exists quietly in Lloyd Hall, well insulated by mile- age from Chase, the Library and the Gymnasium, but within walking commimication with tlie Dining Room, when all conditions are favor- able. By such a careful husbanding of Resource he has found it possible to indulge once a year in college ac- tivity, to the extent of appearing at the Class Banquet. Favorite song: There .Are Some Taverns in the Town. GREE . J. C— The man behind the Laugh. He is always heartily pleased with Life, in spite of two very serious Thorns in the Flesh. These are the recent deplorable catastrophes to William Jennings Bryan, and the College ' s consistent refusal to en- throne Baseball. Could the Republi- can Party and the immaculate Cricket Pavilion be severally Extinguished, there would be no bars to complete Rapture. From somewhere Over on the Jersey Side, he emerges period- ically to wander about as contentedly as possible in Outer Darkness, until with the re-appearance of the Cam- den Ferryboat on the homeward trip, the time arrives for Exultation to leap again to Fever Heat. 58 « 3i QfllUllUCHWiWiJ HAMILIOX.

While observing truly select hours of .Ap- plication, and without proving un- responsive to Town, be has suffered himself, off and on during four years, to bask passively in the Educative Ozone, and the results are in general pronounced Gratifying.

His chief oc- cupation is Responsibility. While others eat. sleep and purchase theatre tickets he collects the scattered rem- nants of Care and makes certain that the laws of Physics and Chemistry operate promptly and impartially, and that the Heavenly Bodies do not be- come derailed from their orbits.

' LF.. 2d.— Ever and always our ultra-saccharine Sugar Plum. Since his early discovery of the inherent fallacy of Joy he has labored manfully to blot out his Fac- ulty of being Pleased, and to evolve an apijropriate Cast of Countenance. Upon the Mundane Order he gazes with all the deprecation of a consci- entious Pessimisiu. wliich even the dictates of a supposedly hopeful Re- ligion have been powerless to allevi- ate. He claims to be a Canoeist of some Daring, and while the presump- tion that he enjoys it would be unwarranted, it is expected that there are other more legitimate advantages connected with the E-xercise.

In attaining this tirm yrip on Actuality, several crates of Wondering Interrogatories were exhausted, careful Mastication of the replies making him tf)lerably familiar with the least involved Phases of h u- man exi-itence.

Direct information can be obtained only with the greatest Diffi- culty and liability to Error, from the fact that it must be given by methods not involving the use of Language. This consistent rejection of the beau- ties of Speech can be explained by only one Situation.

Our Play meant imich to u . Piut it scarcely behooves us to put it upon a pedestal unsupported by anything but our own enthusiastic — and possibly jirejudiced — praises. Hence the following testimonial with pictures taken both before and after. There had been a good deal of discussion on the j.iart of the h ' aciilty. and between our Play Com- mittee and the President, as to the standard of excellence necessary for our jjroduction. The Committee had waited upon Dr. Comfort, the Faculty dramatic critic, and had wiltetl before his glowing accounts of the Class of 94. A few days before the great event it was the good fortune of one of our number to dine with the President, who had all along been a trifle skeptical in his attitude. Upon this occasion he leaned back in hiv chair at the head of the table, and with that ijuizzical. triangular Sharpless smile, desired to know whether or not the Play would be fit for the b ' aculty to see. He was told that we would do what we could. . week later the Presi lent remarked, as he was walking u]) to College from the station: Your I ' lay not only had no disadvantages that 1 can think of, but possessed, I believe, some really positive advan- tages! That ' s putting it pretty strong for Isaac! I ' lUt to our muttons! The Committee — consisting of Philips, i Iiaiiiiuni, I ' mlerhill, Spiers, Penny- packer, Killcn. Spaeth and l.owry — was elected in the middle of .Sophomore ear, and despite all protests from the rest of the Class, augustly did nothing at all for nearly a twelve-month. Nothing could be devised which would pass their critical tests. I ' inally Robert wrote the i)lay, and Mark and Penny the music — with the single exception of the Faculty song, by S. G, Spaeth, ' 05. Ve practiced most assiduously — by day, by night, and after meeting. The weeks sped mercilessly past, and the Haws and mistakes seemeil to nudtiply at every rehearsal. Who does not remember the mingled laughter and tears produced by the embryonic warblings of Percy, the millionaire kid, upon the occasion of his touching rendition of the .Vuto P.us ' I- Or Joe Penny ' s heroic labors with the Priesti chorus?

Then we could hear the music upon other instruments than the long-suf- fering piano. Now we knew, indeed, that we had good music and a good play. The scene-painting in Haddonfield, the carpentering back of Roberts necessary to our great second act, the hurried trips to Buch ' s, on Xinth Street, for wigs — all proceeded, with their youth renewed like the eagle ' s. Each morn- ing Jimmie Crowell was obliged to burrow his way out of the avalanche of R. S. J ' . P. ' s. and each evening Freddv would appear with new sample strawberries and trial bricks of ice-cream. Twenty times a day we would catch ourselves whistling Telepathy on the campus, as we were stringing up the electric-lights, and when asked what it was, would stammeringly reply something about a good show we had seen some- where. Mysterious spirit-rappings could be heard in the gym. at nearly any hour of the day or night — with Peter Ramsey as head medium. Sharpless. Chief Property-man, was often caught red, green or blue- handed after a peaceful afternoon among the paint-pots of Egypt. The night of the 15th of Mav was full-moon, theoretically, but it was well-disguised. A blanket of leaden-grey mist overhung the landscape — and all that sort of thing. All deep-laid schemes for hear- ing candid, uninfluenced criticisms of the play in the Smith Memorial Garden, the Cricket Pavilion ur on the track behind the grandstand went agley early. The gym. would have to suffice for all. liut the hall was filled to its utmost. Ren acted like a perfect lady, and only liill and Mose made beasts of them- selves — when was ever such a camel before or after that night? Queen Cutie ' s Where are the eradica- tor.s — seize the impostors — stew them! rang out with all the authority of one of the minor prophets. The tricycle, guided by unseen hands, for the first time, rolled in upon the stage without damaging a single foot- light — a feat we had hitherto believed incompatible with the eternal nature of things. From E — gypt so fair! to the Class song, the entire Play came olif without a hitch — as did also our grease-paint immedi- ately afterwards. Of course, everyone told us it was the best Play since ' jy — but then they were eating tiur straw- berries, and naturally felt the necessity for saying something rapturous. Eleven hundred people in the ( lym. ! Such condensed fussing was never before experienced. You could scarcely tell which was your water- ice. ISut who cared, anyway? Some girl seeing Mr. Chase, paid Alfred a gentle tribute to his imper- sonation of that long-suffering personality, by remarking that H. .Ammond had not yet removed his make-up. That night was truly a great night for us. After they had all gone home, how happily we sat in the little arbor, singing and smoking — bound closer than we had ever been before. And how, long after the lights had gone out, we wandered about 72 rile campus, cheering every one we could and singing every song we knew, because everything had gone off so well, and we must needs express our overflowing joy. Our Play had been successful beyond our wildest hopes, and if any one can still doubt the reality of this success, behold our tour-de-force: Billy Comfort sat it through! 73 THE FACULTY THE FACULTY Isaac Sharpless.

FRESHMAX YEAR. Scene — Chase Hall. Time — 1.15 P. M. Great confusion. The chalk flies merrily, popping against the blackboard. Billy Warner is busy trying to get himself thrown out of the window. President Birdie Dodge takes his place behind the reading-stand, and for some minutes dodges the shower of chalk and erasers. PRES. DODGE — Er — er — er — er — er — fellows, the er — meeting will please come to er — er — order. I will ask Mr. — er — er — er — Spaeth to state the er — purpose of this er — er — meeting. MR. SP. ETH — The purpose of this meeting is cake. (Applause.) Through conversations with several upper-classmen. I find we are expected to provide a cake for the cake-walk. MR. SHOEMAKER (easily)— Say. boys, there ' s but S1.04 in the treasury. MR. LOWKY (precisely) — Under the circumstances, it would seem fitting that a special tax be levied, and that some one be appointed to procure the cake. MR. THOMPSON ' (eagerly) — I move a committee of three be appointed to investigate cakes. CHORUS — Come on. Charlie, no hope. PRES. DODGE — Er — er — fellows, we have to er — er — er — provide a er — er — cake for the er — er — cake-walk, which is one of the er — er — college customs. Er — er — er — other classes have er — provided er — er — cakes, for er — er — er — cake-walks : er — er — that is, I er — suppose they have. I er — er — have never been a er — er — Freshman before, but 1 er — er — suppose they have. It er — doesn ' t seem like or — cr — much to er — er — er — do. .As Mr. er — Lowry says, it er — cr — seems . AGOXIZED CHORUS— Question ! Question! (The vote is taken, while ' Birdie goes on with his explanations to Taylor.) I ' RES. DCJDGE — Is there er — er — any further business? MR. SPIERS (quickly)— Yes, theah is. I move we heali from the yell committee. (Mr. Spaeth, for the committee, proceeds to submit yells to the class.) MR. GREEN — Shucks! Them yells ain ' t long enough to be heerd. (In the ensuing discussion re- 79 marks are made by Mr. Taylor. Then in the mi(l t of the confusicm the hlii hing ■■Rube gets to his feet.) MR. WTLLIA.MS ' — Mr. President. PRES. DODGE— Mr. Wilhams. MR. ' I1,LI. MS (lookint; aliout sheepishly, then suddenly bursting forth in rhapsodie ) — lo ! tri- umphe! lo ! triumphe! (.Applause. ■■Rtdie continues wildly) Con-flanimed-da-hob-dob-rah ! ! ! CHORUS (catching the spirit of his remarks) — Gestures! Gestures! (Mr. Williams retires in con- fusion, amidst noises from the back of the room, Nh-u-u-u — polly-wog and twice as natural. ) MR. LO WEN STEIN — I move you that we adopt the best yell, the one I suggested. PRES. DODGE — Er — er— er — it is about a class yell. As you know, the er— other classes all have er — er — yells. In er — fact, class yells are er — er — very good er — er — er — things. They show er — good spirit, and are er — er — useful at er — track meets, and er — er — football games, and er — er — er — cricket games and er — er — er — er CHORUS — Swallow it. Birdie, choke it! Turn it otT! Wake me up when he ' s through! We know the rest ! PRES. DODGE — Please fellows, er — don ' t make so much er — er — noise. It er — makes it hard to er — er — talk. MR. TAYLOR (sagaciously) — It seems to me, but I don ' t know, but — well, anyway, I don ' t move, but merely suggest that we set apart a special time daily or weekly to practise the yell. ( At this point Billy Warner enjoys a tittle roughhouse at the expense of the pensive Raymond.) PRES. DODGE — Er — is there any further business? MR. SHARPLESS (quickly) — The Class owes me a quarter for telegraphing in connection with a cricket game. ( The treasurer is instructed to pay the debt. ) PRES. DODGE — Er — a discussion of Class hats is er — now in er — er — er — er — order. As you er — all know MR. CROWELL— Good gosh! let ' s get hats. MR. LOWRY (unctiously) — I think a plain grey hat would be very nice. MR. KILLEN — Mr. President, we don ' t want a hat we ' ll be ashamed to wear. Every nigger in Wilmington has a grey hat. (Alfred sinks to his chair with a pitying glance at Cread.) MR. WARNOCK — A white hat with black band would look sporty. MR. KILLEN (precipitately) — I-move-we-have-a-white-hat-with-a-black-band. ( Carried. ) PRES. DODGE — Er — is there er — er — further business? 80 MR. SHARPLESS — The Class owes me a quarter for telegraphing. MR. DEACON (brazenly) — How about pictures of the Class athletes? I think they ought to be taken soon, so it will be sure to be done. (On Gerry ' s motion a committee is appointed.) PRES. DODGE — Is there er — er — any further business? MR. SHARPLESS — The Class still owes me that quarter. MR. COPE (audibly) — Perhaps the treasury is in need of funds. MR. STETSOX— Hell! Jo-Jo ! Hell Jo-Jo! Hell Jo-Jo! Hell Jo-Jo! How do you like it ? Whoot ! PRES. DODGE — Er — is there any further er — cr — bu.siness? (Bard issues a call for track candi- dates, and remarks are made by Mr. Tavlor. Sharpless announces a cricket game, Friday. Remarks bv Mr. Taylor.) MR. WARXOCK — I ' d like suggestions for ne. t year ' s horsing. (Mr. Taylor offers suggestions.) PRh ' S. D()r)GE — Er — about this matter of er — horsing, as er — you all know MR. HILL (frantically) — I move we adjourn. ( .- nd unce more the chalk Hies thick and fast. ) . SOPHOMORE YEAR. Scene — Barclay Hall. Time — 1.15 P. M. The fellows stride nonchalantly into the Old Collection Room, hands in pockets and chests nut, and President Charles E. Marsh perambulates onto the platform. PRES. M. RSH — Well. I suppose we may as well come to order. Robert, never mind the min- utes. Now, the first matter is the soap slide. President Sharpless said we can ' t have it. Of course, if we really want one, we can have it. But it seems we may as well let him have his way. MR. THOMPSON— Since we can ' t have a J ' RES. .MARSH (eyeing Charlie)— Mr. Thomp.son? MR. THOMPSON— Mr. President. PRES. MARSH— Mr. Thompson. MR. THOMPSON — Since we can ' t have a soap-slitlc, I suggest having a grand pee-rade to Uryn Mawr. I should think they would love to see us in our Class hats, putting the Rhinies through stunts. SEVERAL VOICES— Who? 81 PRES. MARSH (snapping his fingers) — Oh no! nothing in that, nothing in that. Well. I may as well tell you how to act at the Freshman entertainment. Freddie, Ade and Clarence do the talking, and the rest keep quiet. Now, we may as well decide what we ' ll sing to Here ' s to igio. (A brief period of silence, followed by a rapid fire of suggestions. ) MR. T.WLOR (hopefully) — For we will ourselves defend. MR. PHILLIPS (poisedly) — For they only use Sen-sen. MR. WILLIAMS (with nasal belligerence) — For we sure will wipe up the earth with them. MR. CROWELL (vehemently) — For we ' ll smear them again and again. MR. THOMPSON (with hauteur)— For we ' d hate MR. MOORE— For we ' ll MR. THOMPSON — Aw, wait till I ' m done, can ' t you? (Continues.) For we ' d hate to be their friend. MR. MOORE (earnestly) — No. Here it is. For we ' ve got them on the hip. (We burst into laugh- ter, and Lawrence surveys our faces, puzzled.) PRES. MARSH — Is there any further business? MR. FEBIGER (in a sonorous bass) — I ' d like to bring up the matter of a Class banquet. MR. LUTZ — Yes, let ' s be sports and have a banquet. MR. FEBIGER (melodious as ever) — I move we appoint a banquet committee. MR. WILLIAMS (smiling sweetly) — I move we have mainyou cyards. MR. KILLEN (waxing generous) — I move we tip the waiters. MR. MOORE (daringly) — And lets have flowers. MR. THOMPSON (who is not at all satisfied with the easy march of progress) — It sounds all right. So I can ' t tell exactly what it is, but it seems to me there must be something just a little wrong. PRES. MARSH (amused at the boyish enthusiasm) — ' e may as well leave these suggestions in the hands of the committee. Now I wish to bring up another matter. There has been a great deal of talk about them, and it seems we may as well have the partitions in Barclay Hall down. ( Is it a hallucin- ation? Whispers leap and skip about the room: Ktchn, Ktchn, Ktchn. Kitch-Kitch-Kitch-Kitch-Ktchn. ) MR. KITCHEN (rising gracefully, and gazmg at the chair luminously) — Mr. President, do you think it is altogether feasible ? CHORUS— Yea, Kiddo! PRES. MARSH— Any further business? If not 82 MR. MYERS — Whoa! Some Freshman put a notice on the bulletin board before dinner. Things can ' t go on this way ; it ' s rotten. PRES. M.ARSH — That ' s all right. Mr. Myers. gave the Freshman permission. CHORUS ( apologetically )— . h ! MR. CROVVELL (in an injured manner) — I should like to know what ' s to be done about further horsing? PRES. MAR.SH — We may as well leave that to the horsing committee. Will some one move we adjourn? (And Charlie heaves himself out of sight down the corridor.) . JUXIOR YEAR. Sccnr — I- ' iiunder Hall. Tiiiic — 1.15 I ' . M. The window sills having been occupied, a group of fellows hang around the door, as though unde- ciilcd whether to enter or not. Dave, Ed, and a few other daring spirits have pipes. P. ' . defies the universe behind a fat black cigar. Robert and I ' eter regale themselves on bananas. Tommy nmunts the rostrum and surveys the Class with that do or die air. PRES. SH. RPLESS — The meeting will please come to order. I have just received an invitation to the Faculty tea. MR. C ' DERI-fILL (with tears in his eyes) — I move we adjourn. MESSRS. SHOEMAKER and KITCHEN ( ' the amorous duet)— . w. u,i; we accept with pleasure. PKES. SH.ARPLESS (lending his voice to the good cause) — .So ordered. . iiy further business? MR. MYERS — I ' d like to bring up the matter of Class pipes. MR. .S.WDT — I move we adopt a hull-dog pipe with a curved stem. MR. FAY— Hear ! hear ! . IR. SHOEMAKER — Xot necessarily. Somelhing neat and (lossy, don ' t you know? (.And Eddie niaile the committee. ) PRES. SHARPLESS — Dr. Barrett has just been talking to me about re(|uired lectures, hi order to lend dignity to them, he wants Juniors to usher. 83 - ' ' 1 1906 GATEWAY MR. MOORE ( wild witli excitement i — Sure we will, sure. sure. Let ' s iish. i lUit Lawrence ' s vision in blaciv and white failed to be realized. The blasete of Dave, and Jinimie ' s lintjerin,!; So[)honiiire dignity were too strong. ) PRES. SHARPLESS — Uncle Isaac is nut satisfied witli the present wnrkmij nf the Imnor .system. He has suggested to the Seniors and to ns that we adopt a college honor vstem in place of the present class system. The question is now open for discussion. (At this announcement such an appalling silence falls over the horrified Class that Kip shows symptoms of being awake. ) MR. KILLEX (tactfully I — And Ike wants a prefessor present at exams. (The Baron ' s voice is heard indistinctly. Oh. I say. ) MR. MYERS — I move we report to Ike that the Class is perfectly satisfied with the present system. and that we consider that any other system would be detrimental to the interests of the College. MR. W.ARXOCK — Anyway. 1 move we don ' t have a professor hanging around. It ' s not liealthv. MR. T.WLOR (who has a fondness for the front seat) — I suggest as an amenclment that we cut out rough-house at exams., such as throwing erasers. Chalk gets in the hair so. MR. MYERS — Oh. no: that isn ' t a square deal. Think of Pratty ' s exams. Let ' s not have the amendment apply to them. ! PRES. SH.ARPLESS — As this discussion is rather profitless. I suggest we lav it on the table. W ' c will now hear from the various Play Committees. I ' ll call, first, on Mr. .Spaeth. MR. SPAETH (exhibiting costumes) — Progress. PRES. SHARPLESS— Mr. Bard. MR. B. RD (exhibiting a light bulb; — Progress. PRES. SHARPLESS— Mr. Myers. MR. MYERS (exhibiting programtnes) — Six cents! Progress. PRES. SHARPLESS— Mr, Killen. MR. KILLEX — The catering is to be done by .Mr. Trower himself. Progress. PRES. SHARPLESS— Mr. Thompson. MR. THOMPSON (sore) — The committee has good plans for the gym. I ' .ut certain of its mem- bers don ' t seem to be willing to work. (.At this a wink from Kiddo sets off 1 ' . . ' s classic cackle. Mr. Thompson continues.) The Chairman is always ready to give advkc, but Mr. Miller will only carry one lounge at a time, and Mr. Kitchen won ' t sti.p smoking. I ' ll be glad to answer any questions now. 85 MR. MOORE (seriously)— Who ' s the goat? (Mr. Thompson subsides, non-plussed.) PRES. SHARPLESS— I believe that ' s all the com MR. PHILIPS (waving his hand frantically) — You forgot to call on me. PRES. SHARPLESS— Mr. Philips. MR. PHILIPS— Oh, I just wanted to be called on. Progress. PRES. SHARPLESS— Any further business? MR. LUTZ (his chest heaving with emotion) — That umbrella! It is outrageous to put such a thing on the stage. It will desecrate our play. The audience will burst into laughter. What we want is some- thing aesthetic, like a pink parasol. PRES. SHARPLESS — I think we had better leave that to the committee. . motion for adjourn- ment is in order. Just a minute, fellows! Can ' t we have another meeting to-night ? (Voices of Eddie, Fred, Dave, etc., floating back from Founders porch: Oh, I have a date to- night. ) r. SENIOR YEAR. Scene — Founders Hall. Time — 1.15 P. SI. Seated in orderly fashion, some of the fellows are wrapped in thoughtful silence, others talk in a monotonous undertone. FVesident Mark Herbert Carver Spiers, of Wayne, beats it through the door. He got as far as dessert to-day. PRES. SPIERS ' — The meeting will please come to awder. The fuust business is to decide about wearing caps, as well as gowns, to Meeting. What is the will of the Class on the mattah? MR. THOMPSON — . w, we don ' t want caps. They ' re a nuisance. MR. MILLER (positively) — We certainly want to wear gowns. They hide one ' s anatomical defects. MR. THOMPSON (dryly) — Besides, they are required. But caps are not. Will somebody explain why we should wear them? I don ' t see the point. MR. LOWRY— Mr. President. PRES. SPIERS— Mista Lowry. 86 MR. LOWRV I generiiusly I — It doesn ' t necessarily mean that we ' re heavy studes. Caps are a part of the costume, and it is not complete without them. A cap and gown is a formal thing, and ought to be treated accordingly. It is much more dignified to wear caps. (This appeal to our dignity was irresistible.) PRES. SPIERS— Is theah futher business? (Portly Tom plants himself on both feet, shoves his hands into his pockets and smiles.) MR. LE ' JS — I ' d like to announce that there ' s gym. to-night. We ' ve gotta win that meet. You fellow ' s don ' t take this seriously enougli. lly the way, is anyone going to town to-night? PRES. SPIERS — It is pretty neali time to staht wuuk on the Class Book, and we ought to elect a business manager. What is the will of the Class on this mattah? VOICE I— Brey. OICE 2— Brey. HALF THE CLASS — I move the nominations be closed. OTHER HALF — I second the motion. ( So the heavy manager faces the Class. ) MR. BREY — Watch me! Let ' s get busy. Here ' s the list. Bryne? MR. BRYXE (perturbed at the sudden onslaught) — I got a quarta af a page from one and de litther two fellers reni-i-i-igged. ( With varying reports and corresponding jiencil strokes from the boss, the whole Class is nm through. ) PRES. SPIERS — Xow as to the mattah of Class Day, it has been suggested that we have something in place of presentations. I ' d like to heah some expression of opinion on this mattah. MR. SHOEMAKER (glibly)— I move we improve Class Day. I ' RES. SPIERS (gravely) — Is theah any discussion oveh this question? -MR. S. . DT (with gestures! — Sure, yet! We don ' t want any cut and dried presentations, and the likes o ' that. (In general, the Class agrees with Mr. Shoemaker ' s suggestion, and Charles and Tommy being held in their places, the motion is carried without opposition.) PRES. SPIERS — A motion for adjournment is in awder.

But, if it does come to comparisons, the most verdant laurels have been obtained on the football field. Even in b ' reshman Year vc had two men. Hard snd Ramsey, on the ' X ' arsity. In Sophomore Year the number was doubled. Spaeth and Sharpless joining the ranks. So that we supplied four men to what many consider the finest team that Haverford ever turneil out. In Junior Year Lewis. Myers and Deacon also made the team ; though toward the end of the season, an injury to Myers ' shoulder prevented him from filling a position that he had well earned. With prospects not the brightest, but still bright. Xineteen Xine donned her uniforms for the last etTort. In the first week of practice. Deacon, who had proven himself of ' ' arsity calibre, was put out of the game permanently with a badly dislocated knee. C)iir first serious task was to defeat Franklin and Marshall, wliose victory over us the year previous was still rankling in our bosoms. This task we per- formed with no small degree of credit. The next week we defeated Rutgers, though they greatly outclassed us as to weight. Unfortunately, the last four games were all defeats for Haverford. The first of them was against Hopkins. liard was out of the game with a tetiiporary injury, and in the first half, (Ireen. who had been playing very well at halfback all season, was retired with a broken leg. Our work against Lehigh re(|uires no apology. ' e were defeated, in the second half, by a much stronger team. Trinity, besides taking our seal]), took another good man from our alrea ly much-crippled team. This was Lewis, for two years ' N ' arsity end. who had his knee dislocated. . ew ■o k was lel ' l, ;uid 95 we were determined to make good all our former losses by her downfall. liut the fates were clearly against us. On the kick-off Spaeth, who for three years had starred at centre, had his leg broken. An- other substitute was called into service, and the game went on ; but it went the wrong way for Haverford. The season was not the most successful in our history. But to our credit be it remembered that when the season opened, there was not a man of last year ' s eleven in College outside of our Class. Fur- ther, that the end of the season, she had supplied seven of the ' Varsity men ; namely. Captain Bard, Ram- sey, Spaeth, Lewis, Sharpless, Green and Myers. If this is not a record of which to lie proud, certainly it is one of which we need not feel ashamed. 96 HAVERFORD MEETING HOUSE SOCCER TEAM Soccer ha? always been a favorite sport with Xineteen-Xine. Early m Freshman Year several men came out for the first team, and failing to make it. turned their soccer energy into another channel. The present interclass contests, now a recognized feature of college life, are the result. Our game with 1908, played at our challenge, was the first interclass match. Incidentally, we won the game. . nd ever since we have given soccer our ardent support, whether for the ' ' arsity, or only for the class or second teams. In our connection with the College, soccer has risen from a place where it was not even a branc ' i of the Athletic Association, to one of our major sports. On many afternoons, four teams have been at work at once; and in every way the spirit of the game has grown and taken stronger ImM Though none of our number rose above second team calibre during tlvj first two years, in Junior Year our ability was recognized, and four men. Sjiaeth. Sharpless. Lewis and Hill, made the team. . t the end of the year Spaeth was elected captain. In Senior Year .Spaeth ' s injury prevented him from playing;, so Sharpless was chosen field captain. Through an injury, Lewis also was oul of the game. This year Sharpless, Brey, Spiers, Ramsey an l Hard were our Varsity men. .-X successful season was completed, although we did not get the intercollegiate cliampionshi]) as heretofore. We tied Yale, and defeated Harvard and Cornell. Our defeats were due to a greatly increased interest in soccer at the other colleges, for which, temporarily, we were un|)rei)arcd. But in no way do they point to the slightest flagging of our interest in the game. With gocul coaching there is no reason why Haverford should lose either the standing or the influence that she has held, and still holds, in tc I eague. and which it ha always been the aim of Xineteen-Xine to foster. 99 CRICKET TEAM Cricket Although many of the fellows worked conscientiously in the shed all through our first winter at College, when spring came around we had to be satisfied with Sharpless and Myers on the second eleven. Urey. Lewis. Pennypacker and Spaeth all played regularly on the third. The year ' s experience and a second winter in the shed brought T. K. to the fir ' t eleven ranks, wdiile Myers. Lewis and I ' .rey added considerably to the strength of the second team. During So]jh(}more Year, Stokes and Taylor were added to our third eleven representation. This year we were beaten by Pennsylvania in tlie Intercollegiate series, though Cornell was defeated without difficulty. In Junior Year Sharpless held his position easily by steady batting and con istently good fielding. IJrey kept wickets and Myers and Lewis were advanced to places on the first eleven. Penny])acker and Spaeth were regularly on the secon.l during this season. Neither of the teams was very -trong. ( lur total scores were lower than they had been for some years. The general intere--t in the game among the undergraduates was not as great as it had toniKrly Ijcen. .Many of the .-Mumni felt that something should be done to re-awaken the old llaverford cricket enthusiasm of their day. and with this in view. -a meeting of the undergraduates and interested .Mumni was held early in the spring of the present year. The situation was dearly laid before the tud.ni body, and evei - one was urged to e(;nie out anrl practice faithfully in the nets. The l ' ' ,ngli h trip hafi been discussed and found impracticable f(ir ibis vc-ir. . t present, we arc represented on the first eleven by T. K. Shariile s, who bad been awarded the cricket colors and elected captain for this season: l ' .ic is ag.iin biliind the wicket; and .Myers, Lewis and I ' ennypacker shcjw e er indiratM?! id remain- ing on the A ' arsily. The matches that have been pl.iyi ' d thus far show a great improvement in the i|uality of the cricket, and with e.Ncellent material in llu ' h ' reshman Class, we shoubl make a creditable showing against the Can.idi.ni teams in the tour thai has luen arrngeii ror tiie luo ueeks loJKjwmg Comnuncr nient. 101 GYMNASUM TEAM m fl m Our progress in gym. frmn the winter of Freshman Year has been cool and calm — but steady. Only one of our number. R. H. .Mott. made the team that year, but behold the tangible results of two seasons of Jimmy ijabbitt s breathless course in extemporaneous exercisings ! In the first interclass con- test for the Class of ' 97 banner, few can forget the trium])hal ca])ture of first place in the novice rings by the precocious Percy, our pride and joy. Ren Sjiaeth made the first team this year, and Baron Shoe- maker ' s dextrous club swinging won for him his gym. emblem — the last H. C. G. jiermitted to he worn on a sweater. In Jiminr Year Freddy Myers (also a wielder of the Indian club I achieved a positicjn on the ' X ' arsity squad, while Geo. Bard and Tummy Lewis wen. awarded emblems for their prowess on bar and side-horse. Under Tommy ' s able captaincy, seconded by . har|iless ' s managing, the team in Senior Year went through the season, not brilliantly perha])s, but capabl) and well, and with credit to the College and the Class. We lost the meet with Rutgers, and took second place in the triangidar contest — with Pennsylvania first and Lehigh third. Uur work in the |uadrangular exhibition was mn t meri- tori JUS — though, of course, in this no points are counted. Those on the team from the Class this year were: .Mutt. Mvers, Bard. Shoemaker. liryne and Lewis. Tommy Lewis got his H. and he and .Shoemaker were awarded euibleniv. 103 m — Vbk - V ; ' ' mwt -x:: TRACK TEAM Xineteen-Xine. while never excelling in track sports to the extent of winning an interclass meet, has generally managed to finish in second place, landing forty-one points, in Senior Year, as opposed to fifty-seven by the victors. Of these. Bard, Captain of track as well as football, took twenty-one of our total, being the heaviest point winner in College. For three years Ramsey has led the College in the hammer throw, always pressing the record closely. ' arnock ran the quarter in Freshman Year, and was a mem- ber of the College relay team. In Sophomore Y ' ear. Williams was the ' X ' arsity tw o-miler. Thompson has been a member of the College track team. Junior and Senior Years, and has come in for several point- in ilual intercollegiate meets, in the mile and half-mile. Small point winners in interclass meets are too many and various for mention. And, in addition to our competent support of the team in general, we have to our credit the College record in the pole-vault, helil by Cajnain I ' .ard since 1907. 105 MUSICAL CLUBS The part tiiat Xineteen-Xinc lia taken in Lullege musical activities is wcirthy to be recorded here and in our memories. Music has been an important factor in our college hfe. When we gathered as Freshmen in the darkened rooms of the first floor of good old Barclay, we discovered that we could sing. Since that time we have consistently sung our way from year to year, our singing cohorts being from time to time swelled by recruits from the rest of the Class ; until now in Senior Year, we are practically a sing- ing class. Our record on the College Clubs stands on its own merits. In Freshman Year we were repre- sented on the Mandolin Club by four men : Shoemaker, Crowell, Myers and Warner : and on the Glee Club by four: Hamilton, Philips, Spaeth and Spiers. In Sophmore Year we lost one man from the Mandolin Club, through Warner ' s leaving College. But of the twenty-four members of the Glee Club, we supplied eleven. Crowell, Deacon, Killen. Lewis, Miller, Pennypacker and Shoemaker made the club that year. In Junior Year Hamilton made the Mandolin Club, increasing uur membership to four. . ' nd of the twenty-one Glee Club members. Nineteen-Nine supplied fourteen, the new members being Lowry, Sandt, Thompson and Taylor. That year, too. Spiers proved himself an able leader for the Glee Club. In Senior Year our Mandolin Club membership remained unchanged, and we lost one man from the Glee Club, but filled the gap with Raiford. Myers managed the concerts, and Spiers and Shoemaker led the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, respectively. The result was as successful a .sea.son as the Haverford Musical Association has ever enjoyed. P.ut though wc are justly proud of our record on the College Clubs, it is not here that our musical bent has been of greatest value to us. It was through singing that our Class first drew together. Under the glittering stars of a cold winter night, or gathered below the sun dial, with the sun setting behind the old arch, or massed on the edge of the moonlit cricket field, we have sung as a Class. These times, with arm over the next fellow ' s shoulder, we have enjoyed most. And to such times must be duo much of that comradeship, that undivided unity, so characteristic of our Class, 107 HAVERFORDIAN BOARD COARD OF KOITokS. Ai.|-KKi) LowRV. Jk.. Editor-in-Cliief.

There ua.s a lime ulien tlie prite of the Havcrfordian scorned mightily the creations of idle fancy, as she plodded on lur factual and iihilosophic way. In those days one entered the magazine with uncov- ered head, insjiected with unemotional curiosity a |)agc or so of editorial platitude, fled shrinkinglv through the austere presence of the leading article, strained one ' s ears to catch the babble of a few col- umns of timidly purling story, and finally jiaused for br eath, only to find the surroundings a jumble of alumni notes and gymnasium scores. W ' hetlier we were unfit to be intrusted with a purely literary organ. or whether the -undergraduate mind shuddered at the thought of perpetuating its fads and follies, does not appear. .At any rate, the Havcrfordian continue l to reflect with fidelity the incidents of college life. while proving dull to its jisychology. Of late years however, there have been strides worth ndting toward the attainment of a more imag- inative character. The editorial page has become suffuseil with a not too painfully responsible view of life. The gl ' iomy mantle of the .Muse has been shed, and her activities are now carried on in more car- nival attire, while even the grininess of the leading article has been coaxed into an occasional smirk of complacency. The llaz-crfordian has forsaken its pastoral gentleness, and i upon the primrose path, but it gfjes unreb ukeil. . s for rmrselves, . ineteen-. ' ine was, at fir t. far fr(jm inflnenlial in the coiincil of letters. Since 109 Freshman Year, it it true, Lowry, with official status, had been contributing an occasional and unobtru- sive Sketch, Thought, or Fancy, as well as being very largely responsible for the typographical perfec- tion of the magazine. With this exception, however, the Class had not been seriously deflected into lit- erary expression until Hancock ' s English V loomed up ahead. The throes of authorship were then forced upon us, and under the Doctor ' s well taken points of criticism, our literary egos began to acquire shape and consistency, the final result being the addition of Deacon and Underbill to the Board in Junior Year. Soon after, Alfred became Editor-in-Chief, and backed by a thoroughly sympathetic staff, con- tinued the work of unshipping ponderous ballast from the paper ' s temperament. An influx of Nineteen Nine material into the columns of the Havcrfordian was in order, and followed swiftly. The ingenuous extravaganzas of Deacon, and the Johnsonian farces of Underbill, after being gleefully conceived and rapturously executed, wriggled through the critics of the Board in large numbers, and died happily in print. Our editorials made such successful overtures to sanity, that one of them, we learned, was installed in the curriculum of an admiring prep, school. But, altogether, whether our literary product be better or worse, there has been, in the writing and organizing of the magazine, a continuous and well-defined pleasure. As we leave, the Haverfordian has taken the final step in its liberation, and has now no object in life but the exploitation of simple fancy. It should be entering upon an assuredly prosperous period. 110 n5itiC55 jHann crs Z J ' ' ' r .
