Part I We set sail out of ( ardift on tlic 9tli (la ot Aiimist. 1607. and oiir xoyatic at the first was cxcccd- iiiii prosperous, tlic wcatlicr hciiig temperate and tlie wind liooil. Metliinks it would not he proper, for some reasons, to trouble the reacU ' r with the particulariti( s of our ad -entures in those seas, and it will suffice to inform him that in the se ' entli week of our passage from thence to the West Indies, our ship was drixcu northwestward b a iolent tempest which did pre ail uiion it 1 know not how long. Parti Of The Isle Haverford: Its General Constitution, Customs, And Ways Told. For in the second clay ol the tempest, as the sea wrought so that the ship was Hke to be broken, and as many of our company did cast forth the wares that were in the ship to hghten it of them, a mightly wave did come upon us and did sweep me from the ship into tlie tempestuous waters. But by good fortimc I was able to reach unto one of the boxes which wen- cast into the sea, and after this time I remember nothing at all. Indeed I niar ' el not a little that I li c to write this account. Mn ' n at last I waked I did find nnsclf upon the shore of some strange land, and even then did I suspect it was an isle unknown to any of mine own countrymen, and I ween to this day none have thether tra elled. It did appear a pleasant countr ' , with diverse trees and bushes and grass abounding, and a small lake whereon ducks did swim; and a road made of a marvellous black substance, with striped hillocks about every fort ' paces ( the pur- pose of which hillocks I never could discover), divided the land. r.r ' ' : :■ n- -r . V- « - - This road did I follow til I met with an inhabitant of the isle, a man of strange appearanee and man- ner, though I pt ' rforee did percei e at once he was fully human. .And I was no little awed when he did hail me in mine own tongue and did greet me with much hopping up and down, and much shaking of hands, and exceeding friendly countenance, and many hihihihis, which address, in its shortened form, is a chief custom of this isle. And this in- habitant was called Master Ludwig by name. Now as I could make little sense of his speech I did ask straitway for an audience with the king of the isle, whereupon Master Ludwig did inform me with much exuberance that he himself was erily the king, or leastwise king over one part of the inhabitants, and yet this kingship was not like to any I ever did hear of. After some time in converse and with considerable pains, I was able to obtain .some knowledge of the natural hierarchy of the isle and of the laws by which its people are governed, and were these latter not so contrary to those of mine own country I should be tempted to say a little in their justification, but I shall treat of them presentl) ' , and .so much for now. )i . •fy When I was become more accustomed to the speech of Master Ludwig I was able to make out that all the isle is divided principally onto three parts, being the Elders, which ha e power to col- lect re enue and to build hillocks, and the Schole- masters, whose chief charge is the educating of the students, which do comprise the third and greatest part of the populace. The students are divided yet again into four smaller parts called classes, accord- ing to the number of years they have dwelt in the i.sle. . o the students do govern themselves after a fashion by a certain Council, consisting of mem- bers duly elected from the bod - politick, and these members do sit on committee with the Scholemasters and do conduct trials of their fi ' llows according to the Honour S stem. of which I will speak later. During my stay was Master John Coleman chief of the Elders, and he as called strangely now Jack, now President Coleman, and anon Masked Man, and many other names too which decencv ' prevents me write here, though such names were sometime writ in the publick prints of the isle for the sake of Honesty and most especially of Candour. And while I did reside in the isle these students did sit upon the Council: Masters Curris, and Faust the Elder, and Wilcox, and Helme, and Masters Geiss, and Cook, and Weckstein, and Master Cross, who was a great writer of outlines and programs, and Master Erb, and Faust the Younger, aiid Master Schotz. And at the head of the Council Master Ludwig did sit. Many of these students did write in the publick prints, whose chief author was Master Stern, and all did take a part in the railing of the sessions called Splenary. Chief among the Facult ' , which name was oft apphed to the Scholemasters. was Master Spiegler, though I ne er could determine if he be Faculty of Elder, seeming now the one, now the other, and upon him was liestowed the title of Provost, an office whicli in former tinu ' was held by the astrolo- ger of the isle, a certain hister Green. And xcrily I never did discoxer upon what measure appoint- ment to the office was made, lest it be for strange manner of speech, which trait was peculiar to both Masters Green and Spiegli-r. and if this be so I ween some da M,ist(M- I udwig will be Pro ' ost. Notwithstanding liis strangeness to me, 1 did find Master Ludwig a most agreeable companion. He did shew me all the isle that day and did secure for me li ing quarters among the Sen ors. which were the eldest of all the students in the isle. In- deed it was an exceeding beauteous place, with many mar ellous houses and buildings, and with much jocund company the like of which I nexcr did see before and. I ween. I shall nexcr see again. Therefore I thank God for preserving my life, and for bringing me into the isle of Haverford. nr ' i No ' is there much concern on the island with the ends of education, as is right, proper and cus- tomary among us, . nd though I ween that much of this is noised abroad by a small group, yet have I always found a serious and sincere attention to all the problems and concerns of the isle, and despite a surface c nicism that is a mannerism com- mon to many and almost laughable insofar as its appearance in a conversation is so predictable, most of the islanders share a keen intelligence and deep sense of morality. 10 The isle asserts that it can instruct its inhabitants in the Liberal Arts, which among us means, as a great poet hath nobly expressed it, that which fits a man to perform jnstK-. skillfully, and magnani- mously all the offices both prixate and publick of Peace and War. Thus the mind must be trained diligently to grasp and rightly to judge the knowl- edge and accidents that may befall one in life, and the truest underpinning of such an education is the training of youth to know and live by a moral and religious doctrine. ■ That tlic founders of the school were well aware of this fact is well attested by this sentence writ on the isle ' s emblem, Non doctior sed meliore doctrina imbutus, that is to say, not more learned, but rather imbued with a better teachint . Here we may see a salutary distrust of all knowledge not grounded in righteous principles and a decent faith in the superiority of truth o cr falsehood. For that a teaching may be spoke of as lictter shews that the founders of tlie school would not agree that the divers belief and practices of mankind are all one, but would say with St. .Athanasius, that it is necessary to believe rightly in order to be saved. Yet in truth is the eentral principle informing the isle not a goal of righteous moral indoctrina- tion but on the contrary a continual and morbid concern with fact and empirical obserxation di- vorced from all moral religious judgment, and all this in the name of impartiality. Now leaving aside the obvious fallacy of this last, it is greatly to be regretted that the end effect of this way of think- ing is to o ' erturn the emblem of the isle so that it strives mightily that its students may be more learned but indeed tinted (or tainted) with no color of moral teaching, whether the better or the worse. 13 The Idea of education in this place as expressed by the Elders is that of youth discovering and evaluating the judgments, ideals, and concerns of so many generations and of so many wise men, and by themselves with no external end or help or leastwise as little as is possible. Now while this in great part is the end of our education, here is it the process and means. 14 So while by us a outh surrounded by wise years and standards of long durance comes to form his own, on the isle a youth surrounded by no help- meet but his own passions and liis need of com- panionship ends with a fear of that which he has so littl e knowledge of, authority and eternal truth. From this last proceeds in the end a disliking for everything that may stand in his wa ' ( honor ) and even of the most necessary restraints of learning itself (pedantry). This last the students call an intellectual anti-intellectualism and since they are taught from a very young age that anti-intellectual- ims is a heinous sin, thev are much bewildered. 15 ■■ ' W- ' lfllK Ot liatrcds of authority, most encouraficd arc those of civil officials and of parents, this last with the result that the .state of empire to which the isle belongs must pass measures distributing monies for the care of the aged. And yet, when during my residence on the isle, a young man made a harangue insulting and attacking the Elders and scholemasters, they were much distressed, as if to say, nay, nay, thou liast attacked the wrong authority. The second stage of this process is best exemph- fied by the scholeniastcrs and professors of Natural Philosophy (yet are there notable and egregious exceptions among them who deserve much honor). For these men will offer none courses or lectures to the mass of the islanders and excuse this habit under the color of an obligation which they claim to owe to those who de ote themselves especially to this studv. 18 That is, tliey claim to he bound only In what the ' choosf to do, a clear contradiction and a defiance of the definition of Liberal Arts prt-sented abo e. And yet can I not find it in my heart to lilanic tlu ' se folk, honest and liard-working and of good repute, w ho liaxe been led to extoll and praise that course which thi y with little effort could easily see to be wrong, were not their honor in olved therein. But verily obection might be Iirought against me that my complaints are wrong from the base, for that every student on the isle must subscribe to an Honor Pledge (the Elders and Scholemasters may comport themselves as they will). According to this pledge, all swear to respect the rights and feelings of others, in primis maidens, and to refrain from all wrongdoing on examinations. Here is a moral injunction, if there be no religious one. ( There is a weekly pra er meeting after the heretical Quaker- ish fashion, but few attend and these mostly Fresh- men who are drawn thither by its novelty and Senyors who remember the days when many at- tended. ) ' Yet the foundation of the st stem has never been made clear. Is this Honor System an educational device or an initiation rite or an inexpensive and expedient manner of laic -keeping,? Is it grounded in transcendent truth or divine decree or prescrip- tive custom, or mere convenience? And if the latter. tchose convenience? The student ' s, the master ' s? Is it propaganda for the school or a financial aid? The Elders do not speak of this and the students have no means of learning of it. So in the end onl - two reasons an- there for a pledge that disconrages the act oF shame before marriage ( prohibition is of course anatliema ) . The supernumerar - guests ma phice an e eessi e pressure on the isle ' s rc- enues (I do not inx ' ent here, so have the Elders S]:)t)ken) or there ma be danger of damage to tlie eternal soul of the partners in the act. Before tliese alternatives the Elders stand dumbfounded. For clean contrars to tlie thoughts of nian - of the islanders. Honor is onl - possible when the indi idual (a faxorite word in the isle) makes himself subser ient to an external goal or another person and obeys that end or works for the good of that person regardless of his own opinions and lusts. Therefore, tliere is no honourable dutN to oneself. For this is just another name for selfish- ness. Now selfishness and e pedienc - may indeed be the best wa to prosper in tliis world (and in- deed no propliet or Father has e er denied this). But to call this e pedienc ' and encouraging of the selfish lusts of the young moral and honorable and that alone, is a most foul and abominable misuse and perversion of both language and thought. 25 w m l , A A_ K, m i m ■ V fl ' jg j ■ . ' 1 Si ►., mfl? % llr 1 I r M ■ . in: •i?! |r : Thus the ery first s( ntcnce concerning this Honor System that is writ in a special book for the student ' s use reads tliusK : The Honor System enables students to ha -e certain privileges that thc otherwise would not enjoy. One can not be resjionsible onl so far as lu ' liim- self wishes, since this is no responsibility. Or as one might say. I ma ' treat my books well or ill. but such an action has no place for the moral. merel - the expedient. But when such a standard is applied to human relation, when the necessar - and obligator - respect between man and woman, parent and child, and man and man are made subject to the -agrant will of an - rascal who chooses to ignore it. the situation is neither morally elc ' ating nor socially acceptable. It is expedienc - and hypocris -. Now the basic implication of honor as known to us has been the obhgation chosen or not of men to curb their own passions and lust in honor of God and their fello s. But the system of tlie isle en- courages the dexclopment and nurturing of the passions and insofar as some of the islanders fail to live up to even the minimal necessities of a com- munit ' of men li iug clixse to one another, there is no blame or disapprobation attached, since the fault lies not in the man but in his stars or surroundings. Epicurvis himself would flee before such an abomi- nation. in 3 ? m h .f . ' ■ - . • - . As I sa ' this I blame none, for there are many whom I learned to love and some even to admire deeply and fervently. Never have I so clearly seen what it meant to love the sinner but hate the sin, before I came to the island. I pray for their souls.

Among these are Masters Ilaskclh Stuart, and Keen, who are reputed great musicians and men of letters throughout the isle. Thether also dwell those men called jogs by name, as near as I can dis- cover for that they do run in the afternoon round the fields of the isle at a pace called a jog. Now as to tlial liou.M ' whose i ' iy iiaiiu ' is a maltcr of dissension, l)cin called now C unimcrc. now Soittli. and anon cn tiic lay ol it I ncNcr toulil learn or discoNcr and would only enter with a tjnide. v ii W : III ' - ■« -. iJi ' 83 ick ' d sinipl) ' so as to nuiki- naxigation pos- sible. 86 There art ' also four houses on tlie marches or extremities of the isle, the names of wliich be taken from men, sucli as Willidnts. or from lands, such as French, or from tlie hocK ' . such as Scull. 4 ♦ ' Tuo of these do guard the highway Meeting House I ' cilli. wliieli is a strange name for that few do ever meet in the liouse at its end. So do old customs survive in name. There are moreover others who do dwell away from the isle itself. Some of these are wedded (for all the students of the isle are sworn to live in a monastic celi- bacy, which is enforced not by external command but bv the good and chaste will of everv memiier of the com- munitv.). Now the outward appearance of the islanders is most pccuhar and indeed I know not whether I should call them very men, for many seem in some epicene or sexless condition. No small part of the young men cut their hair and shave their faces, so that, although far beyond the age of beard, they seem a monk or else a stripling of unripe years, This unnatural custom is also observed by the elders and schoolmasters, and although e ery one preserveth a proper dignit and honour, yet I need not tell you that I felt most comfortable among those most like to mv own countr nien. I 91 So one niiu;ht think that there was more of true manhood in the inislcs ot Leeds than in all of that liall called now Gumnierc. now South, and anon eu For in Leeds dwelt siieh eavalierh ' men as A c v crv Williiims and Cold and Ackernian. and near them dwelt that Dave who was knowlednealile in (•( nit arts and mm - inp; portraits. Strange to say, the warriors of the countr), the jogs, do dis- dain to let their beards grow. And in my converse with Master Root and Master Boii is I did learn that the chieftains of the jogs did urge tlieir disciples to be shorn and beardless out of some religious or superstitious awe, for they said that to be bearded was unclean. So do I imagine Jews do not cat pork, notwithstanding that Cod hath looked upon all His creation and called it good. fv: And ajiaiii the cliieftains ( I call tlicm so since tlie ' be neitlier elders nor schoolmasters, hut yet are the - men of authority) do declare that the normal fellows are rebellious, and do refuse to sha e that they may boast of their willfulness. And if that indeed be a test of obedience then do I approve of it hinhK ' , al- though I must perforce confess that it is far different from the customs of my own land, and so much concerning beards. In dress arc all the islanders niueh negligent, and it were a thing impossible to tell all the nian ' aria- tions of wretched clothes. Fine dress is disdained as much as beards or money, and those who will dri-ss themseh ' es in finer are subject to atnise and railing. Indeed when one must lea ' e the island, a thing infre- quenth ' done and a oided by nearK all. one then dresses in an especial coat and neckwear ( which drab stuff is called finery here) and lo e en tlien such an one is become a gazing stock and a sul)jeet for jests. i i 96 i J Yet are there some who icill dress so as to cause distress to the others, and their philosopher is called David Wliitinfi and their chief, or anti-Dionenes as I might say, is one Norm Miller. o v Master Whitinp, is a mighty penman who CTiipIoyeth his wit to praise the great isle of Princeton, where all is bliss and there are no storms nor any injustice Many of the Uaverfordians think that there is no such place, but others belie e in it yet revile it as an enemy equal unto their inight - rival Swarthmore. Master Miller is a man of many costumes and hard would it be to tell them all; it is enough tliat he wins great scorn and yet too great praise for being a non- conformist. Now in Euisjand such an one is a man who will not worship in the ( ' liiirch of Eni; a)if , but in tliis land it is one who taketh pains in his dress. So do tlie manners and wavs of the world differ. 99 ' • -J f ' ' r H ' §0M 4w, t ' .r-r ' ' ■. r 110 ly. ;A ■f? A A f i yj in 112 Now the studcTits do (line to fthcr in Founders Hall and yet since that the population is growing apace tlie ' will soon dine elsewhere, hut still together. For the elders attrilnite much power to dining together for the sake of unit - and a ()iding of scvsmes. Now no elder or schoolmaster dineth there or few, in iiart heeanse the place is so crowded and in part because it is thought good for the young to ha ' e no clamps or con- straints upon their behaxior, although the governor of the isle doth encourage this entermingling of schoolmasters and students. Nathel( ss, to instill in the student the same decorum and seriousness that the presence of one older than he might foster, the refectory is hung with the images of gra -e and righteous lixcrs, who were ertswhile elders of the isle. The food .ser ed is of a marvellous quality with much white bread and potatoes and a great ariety of meats and fruits. And yet do the students disdain the offerings of Slater, for so is called the lord of the place, and do much bemock Master Ed Grant who is minister plenipotentiary of the lord. In order to shame the students, oft the tables are cleared before their faces, and all the good food wasted is placed in a basket, and they must perforce look upon it and be ashamed. Then is the good stuff sent back to the kitchen and for all I know given to the poor or served to the schoolmasters. Yet some students do serve Slater and are loyal to him, such as Master Joel Kuntz and his minons, the mighty Rakove, and Masters Ritter and Davidson, and others too. In days of yore were there great battles among students with ictiia]s employed as weapons. And yet now, be it due to the ei ilising power of tlie portraits, or the immanning shaving off of beards, or I know not what eause, ' ictual liattles are little in st le and sueh vietual warriors of old, as the mighty Rakove and Terry Keenan, wax diseontent but impotent. There is a tavern which is called the Coop and yet it is not a tavern for no beer nor any spirits are ser ed there, or in the refe ctory, or elsewhere save for such secret dens as the tenth entry. But the especial power of that spot I cannot perceive and yet it is a place of much legend. For to those folk the normal human custom of beer swilling is a rare and esoteric art and the subject of much interest and talk. The Coop is served by those too swift for the refector -, where a slow and gentlemanly pace is thought proper. ( For there do the students love to stand in great long lines and indulge in pleasant speech with their fellows, in jo ous anticipation of the leisurely dining and delicious lands of which they are about to partake.) - i A - Also many who cannot understand the kuiguagt- will seek employ at the Coo)) and with diligence will learn it by trial and error. Although many complain of the Coop, there is a happ ' frequenter, one Bruce, who is famed far and wide, and I myself have seen him who every night at nine of the clock would go to the Coop and eat four large meat and bread compounds called hamburgers, and he is a niar el to many. Next to the Coop a great man named Galen seeks to construct a coffee house, so called though it be but the basement room, and he talketh much of it but to little purpose. -t t,V -,- 3Cg Many who will not t o unto the Coop do tra t ' l from the isle to the Blue Comet and thether do eat. And this spot and the neighboring isle of Bnjn Man r are the sole tra cl that many will undertake, except that grave necessit} ' he upon them. Here Master Charlie doth prepare food and it is ser ed b ' a certain strange sybil who talketh much and distresseth man , and perhaps she is a prophetess. Oft doth Master Gresov ser ' e the sybil and inan do come to enjo her discourse. Among these be counted Master Rich Lijon and Master E. Dale Adkins and his friends. And indeed Master Adkins and the mighty Rakove are the sole men of all this land who can rival the sybil in mystic and occult speech, and thus much concerning victuals.

The diversions of the islanders are nian ' , but cliiefly do they love to listen to music and to complain of the condition of the land. For, haxing no suffrage in the land, they enjoy most to gather together witli tlie ouths of other islands in great hordes and so do they speak and receive notice in the public prints. Indeed, there is even a society presided incr by Masters Jackson and Nixon whose sole purpose it is to allow its members to appear in the public prints and its name is S.AC, and among its followers are Masters llemmendinacr and Magers. 1 Now the isle itself boasts a print or newspaper that is a fearsome sheet, much redoubted by all far and wide, and under such courageous leaders as Masters Millstone and Jones, it grew in size and range of interest, and made many wroth, and under Master Arch Riibcrg the reporting of sports grew in size and made many sad. 121 122 o v of musicians then ' arc di%cis arictics, and some I fain would not call musicians at all save that to judge another in art is called a value judgment here and much avoided. And one group hath for its goal the creation of harmony and its chief is a hoary and venerable man. Doctor Reese by name, and his disciples are Masters Eea!J.(in and Welles, and thc and their fellows perform many public shows. Yet of late was tliere a revolution and Master Walens did lead off men from the Orchestra to make harmon ' among themsehes. And so, since there be moreover singers lieside the Glee Cluh called after one Schiitz (although I could discoxcr no Schiitz head of them) there is much disliarmony among tlic makers of harmony. 123 OtluT musicians pla ' loud and stranu;t ' l uj on mechanical lyres, and their leaders are Shuftcl the lldiii and (liGaii ! i the Gloomt , and the musicians of Fifthc Entn . Masters lliiskcll. Stiiuii and Keen. And these are opposed bv one Master DF Dal- Maso, a might - violinist. Indeed the very names of the musical bands are strange, being Eleetrie Eeleeties and Federal Diieks. Now their method is to plav so loudK that even those who would fain avoid them are constrained to listen, while they who would hear can scarce do so for the deafening qualitv of the sound. 124 126 127 Now in this isle the drama flourishcth under Master Butman and his minions Masters Kopff and Kritzer, and Shakespeare and the Classical theatre are much affected, and other and more modern plays are performed by the Little Theatre; and many, such as Masters Lanson and Servetnick and MuUoohj are well recei ed. 128 Then too on C7rts.s Ni ' ht the students do pre- sent satyrical sketches and these are full wittily writ, though to a stranger well nigh unintel- ligible, I ween. For this Masters Davidson. De- Courcij. Kopff. and McCann write for them- selves good roles, and here doth Jones liop proudly, and Lanson hath won a cup for his ability as a player. And many praise Class ifiht since that e ery class must work together as one body and it is a great healer of scysmes. During ni - stay did Master llerh Fry hear a gifat weight for that he was leader of the Radio. b - wliicli device sounds fl)- through the air, mirahile dictii, and yet none do recei e this marvel, perchance because it worketh through witchcraft, and it is become vanity and empt - air. ny IJoik E ' imc . ■ '  «•! - fri iiqiifi iKiiJMi. The most abundant pasttinic, or so it seemeth, is pot, or potting, and the ciders do provide an especial room for its practice and many ha c come to affect it. The chief potter is Master Delthony and he uorketh in the basement of Leeds, and there alone, although I have heard many speak as if to say it be possible to affect it in one ' s own quarters. Also the art of imprinting instant images flourisheth, not by paint or pencil but mechanically and this is the art of Master Faust and also of Masters Gninfeld and Kane. During my sojourn in tlial country, I dwelt princi- pally among those who arc called the Senyors by name. Now these Senyors comprise that class that I spake of that having most nearly completed their alloted term, do prepare to attain unto that glorious Afterlife which is the true end and fruition of all their stri ings. Some moreover do not go unto the afterworld, but of them little is spoken and so I know but litde, save only of some purgatorial states, one of which is called Peace Corpse. V.  The Senyors are di ided into many classes, and of the musicians and of the jogs I have spake elsewhere. Also I have told of the polititjues, of whom one part desireth to save the world, vid. SAC, BUI McMcilL Dou i Bennett, and one part desireth to save the isle only. vid. Student ' s Council, Bill McNeill, Doug, Bennett, and one part taketh delight in no thing but railing at the other parts and most of these are employed b ' the public prints. The principal concern of all is the apathy of the rest of the isle. Now tlif loudfst and most vocifcMOUs taction is called the Joy Boys, Musters Eii f , Melson, Roggc, Crandell, and Kiiplan. Thcv play at draughts till late in the night with loud cries of anguish and jov like unto Bacchae, and they love to watch jogs and to speak of them, and they have other pleasures too. - mwmiii Some Senyors have married and tlie ' must li e apart from the isle, such as Master Bill Sellers, whose father is famed as a connoisseur of beauty, and Masters Little and Reagan, and Master Beaver whose cognomen is Buzz. Yet again some live away from the isle vid. Masters Weiss and Weston, and it is thought that it is done for lo e of contemplation. 138 Of Baconians tlii isle is full and there is much grumbling against them for that they boot. But their leaders are strong, and man ' of the feared Joy Boys are of this party as are also Masters Jolly and Tom Poicers and Herb who is called Astio-JoiS,. 140 H Ji t r  ' v Masters Bohhij Priinack and Terry Kccuan are remnants of days of yore when young men rode the earth with roaring mechanieal horses, and older than they is Master George Wolfendcn. once a mighty elder of the outer world and now a famed player in Class Ni ihi. who returned from the outer world to li ' e as a student. Now some of the sehoolmasters ha ' e been raided up unto the occupation of elder and some of the students too, such as Master Art Wood, whose spirit proxed too weak and he went on to the Afterlife, but rare is he who returneth after so long, save he be a very troll. And tlu ' ic arc tliosf who speak in stranyir tones and scaixc could 1 understand the speccli of Masters Simon Adams and Tom Clinic.
