Hobart College - Echo of the Seneca Yearbook (Geneva, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 196 of the 1901 volume:

The Echo ______________ ■ i J To the sainted memory of a life-long friend and benefactor of our Alma Mater, ARTHUR CLEVELAND COXE, Doctor and Prelate, Second Diocesan of Western New York, this volume is dedicated. Bishop Coxe, 1818-1896 r— j ■‘-HE Rt. Rev, A. Cleveland Coxe, S.T.D.,LL.D., was bom in Medharu, New Jersey, May 10, 1818, and was graduated at tlie University of r New York in 183S, and at the General Theological Seminary in 1841. He was ordered Deacon in St. Paul’s Chapel, New York, on June 27, 1841, by Bishop Onderdonk; and was ordained Priest in St. John’s Church, Hartford, Conn., September 25, 1842, by Bishop Brownell, Soon after his ordination to the Diaconate he took charge of St. Anne’s Church, Morris- anis, New York, where he remained until Raster o£ the following year, when he removed to Connecticut, and became rector of St. John’s Church, Hartford. In 1854, he removed to Maryland, and became the rector of Grace Church, Baltimore. In 1863 he became the rector of Calvary Church, New York. City, where he remained until his elevation to the l$piscopate. In. 1856, during his rectorship in Baltimore, he was elected to the Episcopate of Texas, but declined. He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from St. James’ College, Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1836, and also from the University of Dnrham, England, in 1888 ; that of Doctor of Sacred Theology from Trinity College, Hartford, in x868, and that of Doctor of Laws from Kenyon College in the same year. He was consecrated Assistant Bishop of Western New York in Trinity Church, Geneva, January 4, 1865; and upon the death of Bishop DeLancev in April of that year, he became Bishop of the diocese. In 1851, 1869, and 1870, he made tours of Europe and in 1872 was given charge of The Church in Kayti ; in Port-au-Prince he consecrated the Church of the Holy Trinity. Bishop Coxe was the author of several works on theology, general litera- ture, pamphlets, presses, etc. Among his many publications are “Christian Ballads,’’ 1840 ; “Athanasian, and other roeius,” 1842 ; “ Hallowe’en,” 1844 ; “ Saul: A Mystery,” 1845 ; “ Sermons on Doctrine and Duty,” 1854 ; “Impres- sions of England,” 1836; “Criterion,” 1866; “ Moral Reforms,” 1869; “Lady Chase,” 1878 ; and “ The Peneteutial,” 1882. In 1883 he founded The Christian Literary Company of New York, and edited nine volumes of their series of Ante-Nicene Bathers, also subsequently their edition of St. Augustine on the Psalms. 4 In 1888 he preached frequently in Paris, and officiated in the Gallieau Chapel, as Bishop in charge of the Gallicana of France, a position which he resigned in 1892, when the Archbishop of Utrecht consented to assume that work in France. Bishop Coxe died in Clifton Springs, N. Y., July 20, 1896, and was buried under what is now the chancel of Trinity Church, Geneva. The Bishop was ever warmly interested in Hobart College. He was an ex officio Trustee from 1865 to 1896 ; as such he was invariably present at the meet- ings, and for a large portion of the period was Chairman of the Board. He was especially interested in all plans for increasing the geueral funds or special endowments of the College, and prepared various appeals to be sent out offi- cially by the Trustees; in one of these appeals ho made clear Hobart’s position as the representative equally of all the five dioceses of the State. He is well remembered in the instruction of the College by the various courses of lectures he delivered from time to time ; his earliest series was entitled “ English lit- erature of the 19th Century” (1870); several years after that he delivered a course on “ Early English Poetry this course was extremely popular, being illustrated by the reading and interpretation of early English ballads in a most pleasurable and commendable manner ; his latest lectures were historical in character, and were vety will received. His enthusiastic interest iu the College was at all times warmly felt by the students, and made many friends for him and for Hobart. This appreciation of Bidrop Coxe’s labors for the College is now about to receive its highest and most abiding monument among us in the erection of the Coxe Memorial Hall.

Huntington Whaley, K a Donald McLaren Kirby, 2 Keating Lewis Simons, K a OMR ADES in naughty-one : At last we think our Echo is as ready to stand before the footlights as it ever will be, so we scribble, “Finis,” and scatter Vol. XXXIX among you and to the four corners of the earth. If it adds in the slightest degree to the great and ever-increasing fame of 1901, we shall feel amply repaid 1U, pencils, paper and midnight oil. Whether or no it is worthy of our lofty class motto Nulli Secundus must be decided by our critics, of which none of our publications have ever been in need. Though it seems to us a good while since our labors began, still be believe for our that we are innovators as far as the time of publication is concerned. We trust that the surprise, at least, at our early appearance will be pleasing to our patrons. We are led to believe that this change of several months in the date of issue has already been justified, and we donot hesitate to recommend to our successors a continuance of this plan. If we have made any other reforms which are judged valuable, though slight, we hope that they will be perpetu- ated by those who come after, that the Echo may never go backward, but follow a continuous path of progress. To those who have contributed to this volume our very warmest thanks are indeed due and rendered ; may their num- ber grow in years to come. For our many errors we beg the leniency and pardon of the reader. To 1900, and to the century which passes with her, it is almost time to bid farewell. She has borne the historic paddle with dignity, ability and good fellowship, and we have been and shall be proud to follow her lead. May the thorns in her path be few, her years of happiness and honor as many as her virtues. Our blessings go also to the other classes in College, and to all which shall take our places in the seats of the valiant, the true and the learned at Hobart. Naughty-one hath spoken to her Alma Mater. We shall leave her halls, as the XXtli century dawns, much in her debt; mav the new cy- cle bring her the successful growth which she deserves. “ Hobart forevermore' ” 7 College Calendar for 1899-1900 Sept. 19.

A health to those wlio’ve gone before, Who’ve dropped out ere the race was run Held by the spell of wayside flowers, Summoned away by duty’s call, They remember us still we know. A health to those who come behind, And then farewell, old comrades dear; Long may our class remembered be By good works, truth, and charity; God grant it may be so. S. ’oo. 23 History of 1900 THE diligent historians have duly chronicled every year the events in •which the class of nineteen hundred admirably and honorably engaged. The historian of the Senior class, therefore, need not repeat minute details of class events of the past four years. There is, however, an inexpressible charm in recalling those few fond memories which hover in the mind of every member of the class. As soon as our class was formed we willingly accepted the challenge of the class of ninety-nine to try our fate in the customary class contests. The fight raged furiously. In it we fought valiantly, but the day was lost. Thus we were defeated, but this disgrace of the temporary loss was soon regained by our successful class banquet. It was a brilliant one indeed and we drank peace- fully to the joy and happiness of the future. The Freshman year passed off quite creditabty and we became Sophomores. Though we suffered a considerable loss in numbers we were renewed in spirit and determination to assume the many responsibilities of the Sophomore year. Among others, the cremation of Anna Lytica was solemnly and fantastically performed at the end of this year. The Junior year came soon to us and we held our position with dignity, fulfilling every duty falling upon our shoulders within and beyond the class room. Through failure and success, tribulation and prosperity, we -were gradually ushered into the Senior class, and now we are about to finish our course and are approaching a gate through which we shall enter the wider world. When on looking back we review' a few' things w’hich our class has done during the past four years, our career, on the whole, has been a satisfactory and successful record for high scholarship of our class, and our worthy repre- sentation in the athletic field, is by no means surpassed by others. This is not, of course, a place to relate our inividual achievements ; but suffice it to say that each member of the class of nineteen hundred has shown himself, within his reach, to be worthy of our Alma Mater. Before I dry my pen, which has recorded the honor and pride of our class for the last time, let me, in behalf of my classmates, bid a sincere farewell to our Alma Mater, and make a pledge to remain always her devoted and affectionate sons. 24 Historian. i - : Senior Class 1900 Colors—Maroon and Light Green.

The events of the year have been gliding along [ like a stream whose surface is untroubled by hidden rocks. Yet A in this smooth current of events lie the true pleasures of the Junior’s life. We are worried neither by the troubles of the under-classmen nor the anxiety of the Seniors. The Freshmen and Sophomores may scrap for the supremacy, but we Juniors, from our position of superiority, are mere interested spectators of the fray. Our scraps are over aud recorded in the annals of the class where we may re-read them with satis- faction. We see the Seniors anxiously girding themselves for the battles of kfe, not kuowdng what fortune has in store for them ; but we do not worry ; °ur turn has not come yet, and in the meantime, we enjoy ourselves while we may. When Nineteen Hundred aud One entered Hobart, her members numbered forty-three, but many of these have left us. Some have gone into business, others have hastened away to begin to study for their professional careers, ft et we who remain, although reduced in numbers, are strong as ever in spirit. aoh year binds us together with closer bonds of fellowship. Energy has always been a characteristic of our class. No matter whether ;n Pursuit of pleasure, athletics, or knowledge, ’01 has takeii the lead. The ofUU01 sm°ker beldou the eighth of December, was a departure from the custom ai rtceilt classes. Needless to say it was a great success. On the campus i w °’ whether in baseball, football, or lacrosse, you will find her representatives, that °rt;bi]y uphold the crimson and white. But do not think, kind reader, . ft because I mention knowledge last, it is a lesser pursuit. The search for 1S S°n,g quietly but diligently on. Da}' by day we draw nearer to the goal w icu the achievements of ’or shall be made public to her friends, and they niaj Wen judge whether our study has been in vain. Although the vision of prophecy is denied me, I cannot help believing that e members of 1901 have a bright future before them. The self reliance with w 'ch they face all obstacles leaves no doubt of their individual successes, especially iu the mind of 31 The Historian. Junior Class 1901 Colors—Crimson and White.

Nineteen Two's Sophomore Year rS the Freshman History of 1902 is so well known we may pass it over in this too brief chronicle. Every Hobart student knows how we successfully defended our banner against a class more numerous than our own ; and everyone knows how our Freshman banquet was brought about without a single member of ’01 knowing anything about it. And, too, several members of ’01 remember most clearly how they entertained the partakers of the banquet and were given a little water “for their stomachs’ sakes.” East Fall Fate used us severely, and our sturdy band found itself sadly reduced in numbers. It was necessary, then, to make our spirit two-fold, and this we did. Almost any “ dormitory ” Freshman can tell of his debut as an entertainer either in the “ gym.” or on a table in his own little room. And the Freshmen were awed. What wonder? It is said that one of that youthful number one day early in the Fall went to town under the wing of an upper-classman. In the distance he saw a group consisting of Edd3’ and Stevens and one or two others. A great lump heaved up in his juvenile throat, and clutching the sleeve of the upper-classman he whispered, “Are them Sophomores ?” The class events this year ’02 won with ease, and her name will be inscribed on the College cup. We did not tear down the Freshman banner—I should more properly say rag. An attempt was made in the dead of night but all the cribs had been moved out 011 to the campus, and the thirtj7- Freshies were .stacked about the flag pole. Could we disturb those sleeping innocents? Conscience answered, “No.” Historian. 37 Sophomore Class I 902 Colors—Crimson and Black. Yell—ni Rah Hoo ! Hi Rah Hoo ! Hobart! Hobart! Naughty-two.

Oh ! for the power of a Hallam, a Gibbon, or a Bancroft (no cribs on these) to portray the brilliant deeds of Hobart’s youngest class. But what shall we say first when there is so much to say, but neither time nor space in which to say it ? One of the proud moments for ’03 was on the day of the cane rush, when her sons marched from the field, armed to a man, with the Sophomores’ pride, viz., the cane. How fiercely did they gaze upon our effrontery, but how meekly did they act. Of the other inter-class events and scraps little need be said except that everything -we attempted we almost accomplished. But the proudest moment of all for ’03 was when her banner was hoisted upon the flag pole. What an inspiration did the magic words “naughty three ” and the “ leedle German band ” give to the loyal Freshmen on that memorable night when naughty two w'as overcome, and what terror did it strike to the fainting hearts of the Sophs, who came, saw, and were conquered. Then again, just ask the upper-classmen about the “Freshmen Prom.” The meeting was at last held without interruption in the Math, room ; and here it is we love to congregate and listen to the eloquent words of the silver- tongued orators of 1903, of whom she possesses not a few. Since to the victors belong the spoils, it is the bounden duty of ’03 (a dutiful class to be sure) to return thanks to the Juniors for their kind assistance and substantial compli- ments (this doesn’t mean bread and milk). Could the walls of old Trinity and Geneva Halls speak, they might reveal an important period in the unwritten history of naughty three. Geneva Hall is especially dear to the heart of the Freshman, for within her massive walls have occurred O. M. A. parties without limit. During our short existence as a class, much has been accomplished that ought, perhaps, to be fully written up in a complete history, but it is the object of the present Historian to mention the principal events only. We have been particularly fortunate in not having lost any members thus far, but bow much longer, O Faculty, will ye bear with our misdeeds? We will now lay aside the pencil to be taken up in future by one more worthy, and whatever is lacking in this narrative, if you will apply to a Sopho- more he will probably be able to supply the deficiency from experience.

We had practically the same evils to fight as we did in ’98, the first season of the game, there being only four men in College who knew how to handle sticks. Despite this and numerous other obstacles, Captain Sosnovvski with the aid of our able coach, Dr. Leighton, managed to put into the field a team that before the end of the season was playing a good article of ball. We met Cornell early in the season and were defeated mainly because of the amount of inexperienced material of which the team was made up. Our other games showed the greatest improvement, and it is due to the fact that we met teams distinctly out of our class that we were defeated. The outlook for the coming season is bright, and good trips arc being scheduled by our efficient manager, Mr. G. A. Teller. 66 I I I t i ’Varsity G. A. Teller, J. C. Sosnowski, COLEMAN, ’OI, Goal.

Historical Sketch N November 9, 1S75, at Prof. Vail’s suggestion, the Student Body took steps to establish, a Reading Room. At a subsequent meeting it was resolved that a tax of not more than three dollars per year should be levied upon each student for its support. The Board of Directors was made to consist of the Presidents and Treasurers of the several classes, and was empowered to elect one man from each of the three npper classes to constitute three committees; on Periodicals, on Finances, and on Order, respectively. President VanRensselaer encouraged the project by fitting up the double room, No. 5 Geneva Hall, for this purpose. Two or three years later, the yearly assessment was, at the request of the Student Body, made a part of the Treasurer’s bill. After the fire in 1885, the Reading Room became congested with the rescued library books, which were also crowded into the north end of the corridor and was removed to the floor above. A partition, with a door, was then placed across this part of the corridor, the remains of which can still be seen. There the books remained till the summer of 1886 when Professors Vail and Dnrfee effected their transfer to their present commodious quarters. There are now over 36,000 volumes and 9,000 pamphlets. 80 St. John’s Chapel The Rev. Joseph Alexander Leighton, A.B., Pli.D., Chaplain. Occasional Preachers : The President and others. 81 J. H.

It will probably be held in the early part of May. We feel no hesitation in predicting that it will be as full of college spirit, hospital- ity and good fellowship, and in every way as successful as have been the many events during the past four years, conducted under the august and revered insignia of the class of Nineteen Hundred; worthy of an enviable position among the many enjoyable occasions for which the present year has been so notable, and serve to implant still more firmly in all hearts the memor}'of that class which we are now proud to call at once our leaders and our fellows.

Such, anyway, was surely the stains quo in Hobartus on that day. The real reason for the irritation was that by an unlucky coincidence the Faculty had all managed to jump into their trousers from the wrong side of their beds that morning—the cause assigned was the Junior Smoker an insti- tution for the Promotion of Religion and Learning and the Increase of the Ministry. And oh! what results came from that erroneous opinion—the Faculty held special meetings every hour all day. Awe inspiring Geneva policemen were stationed behind every tree, while Deputy Sheriffs (sworn in as a posse for the occasion), distributed subpoenas to all the good Junior boys (which they could find) free gratis for nothing ; and Jan on his morningrounds, muttered—with a shift of quid—dire threats about the Trustees taking action. It is needless to say that every supposedly naughty one had a bad case of ' that tired feeling ” before long, for which he took Hood’s Sarsaparilla and other stimulants and appetizers. The following list is of course of those who were not present. It is taken from the Police Gazette. We are sorry not to be able to reproduce its graphic illustration. Committee K. L.

Of the labors and acts of my father, Rev. D. Me Donald, and Prof. Webster, in starting the college, the records furnish an abundant account. I11 the making up of the first faculty some of the trustees, especially those “ of little faith” in known talent, deemed it the proper way to spread the knowledge of the birth and design of the new institution to secure a President from abroad. This idea took form in the election of Rev. Jasper Adams, of South Carolina, to that office in 1826. The arrival of Dr. Adams, bringing with him three students from Charleston, seemed to confirm the wisdom of the Trustees. Of these, one Rev. R. S. Trapier, proved an honor to Hobart. The other two have entirely disappeared from the public eye. Dr. Adams remained but one year, preferring to return to the South. His administration was marked by no well- defined policy, and he added no strength to the young institution. His person- nel soon rendered him a mark for the jests and cartoons of the .students. He was of medium stature, with red hair, and much cross- eyed. I11 walking his steps were of unequal length and he carried a gold-headed cane in his left hand, erect, so that the gold head was about even with his chin. I11 conversa- tion he had a peculiar motion with his tongue and lips which the students were prompt to imitate. Prof. Webster was always a strong tower. He loved to teach us fencing with wooden swords. When he practiced with me and had a good thrust he usually missed me, and would excuse his failure by saying, “ How can a man hit a fellow who is too thin to make a shadow.” I was slender then. 'Putor Rev. John A. Clark was not a favorite; the students characterized him as a man “ polite as a horse post.” Tutor Rev. J. S. Stone was all that the faculty and students desired. 95 The young men indulged in pranks and tricks as they always do each year, and there is little use in recounting them—only this one : One Reb. Campbell, being before the faculty for examination as to some infraction of rules, made statements so improbable that the examiner at length said to him, “ Why do you adhere to a position that is so palpably false ?” He replied. “ to prove my innocence. I have no better way than by an (a-lie-by) alibi.” The sentiment of southern superiority showed itself in one of the young men that Dr. Adams brought up with him, and it fell to me to squelch him. He had presumed to nickname me “ Sambo,” and sometimes he did it offensively. One day, in front of Geneva Hall, among a crowd of students he called me ” Sambo ” with a significant gesture, as I thought, and I stepped.out and shook my fist in his face, saying ; “ You call me that name again and I’ll thrash the gravel walk with your carcass.” The braggart subsided ; I never heard the name from him again. Geneva Hall and a small wooden building just north of it comprised the Geneva College buildings. The small building was used as a preparatory school. Geneva Hall contained the chapel, president, professor and tutor’s rooms and dormitories for students. Being straightened for space the faculty heard their classes in their respective rooms. After filling up the rooms in the col- lege the students found lodgings in the village ; and all boarded wherever they chose. Some students boarded themselves in their rooms. The chapel con- sisted of the two northwest rooms of the second floor and the hall in front of them. The chapel was used for prayer, morning and evening; for students’ declamations Wednesday afternoon, and meeting of the Euglossian Society Saturday evening. It was furnished with a reading desk and seats for the Faculty at the north end ; a platform for declamation at the south end and three rows of benches on each side facing the middle of the room, for students. The Seniors took the first row on the east side ; the Juniors the second, behind the Seniors ; the Sophomores the third row ; all sat facing the wrest. The Fresh- men occupied the west three rows, facing east. The chapel service both morning and evening consisted of a chapter from the Bible and prayers read from a compilation on the desk. Sunday and week da}' the same order was observed. The discipline of the College was mostly left with the resident tutors. Our daily routine was as follows : Chapel prayers at 6 a. m., thence to recitation. Bell rung at 9 a. m., for study hours, and recitation from 11 to 12 noon. Bell at 2 P. M., study ; recitation at 4 p. M., followed at 5 p. m. by prayer in chapel. Bell rung at 7 p. M. for study. Wednesday at 2 p. m. devoted to students’ dec- lamations in chapel, followed at its close with prayer and dismissal till 7 p. m. No recitation Saturday afternoon, but prayer at 5 p. m. All students were 96 required to attend chapel service, though excuses were easily obtained for absence. Students were required to attend church service on Sunday some where in the village ; place selected by themselves or parents. The only athletics were swimming in the lake, wrestling and playing wicket ball on the campus. S. P. Me Donald, Born in Cheshire, New Haven Co., Ct., Mansfield, Ohio. June 4th, 1S09.

Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 9, 1899. 97 The Freshman Exhibition Antiquity The word Book is an institution inseparably linked with the history and life of Hobart. It dates back farther than the memory of the normal man; Data are being searched for on mediaeval inscriptions. Legend has it that its age in years is indicated by the number of capillaments which compose the eye- brows of the Professor third in seniority. It is possible that this pre-historic monument could best impart the information as to when the 7,000 words were first mispronounced by Phyfe. Probably the length of the afore-mentioned capillaments on this monument should be considered. May it not be that annually one has sprung into being, these appear successively in a course directed toward the eyes ? It has been observed that those at the inner ends are longest, the length is perhaps a record of the varied amount of brilliancy manifested in Word Book research by successive classes ; the last and longest capillaments would then represent the class with which the history of this institution closed at Hobart—the class of Naughty One. There are many institutions collateral to the Word Book which deserve examination. Among the most prominent of those are : The Vowel Triangle, Syllabus of Pronunciation, The Antiphonal Reading of Shakespeare by Fresh- men, Hobart Exams, in Elocution, and The Use of the Test Pronouncer by Students. One of Charlie’s Boys. In the fall the falling leaves fall, Falling softly as they' fall ; And in falling fall together, Like a mantle over all. 99 Excelsior The snow was falling thick and fast, As up the hotel steps there passed A youth, who bore ’mid slush and ice, A mattress filled with very nice Excelsior. His brow was sad, his eyes beneath Seemed fairly crushed into his teeth, For on his head was firmly set The mattress, filled with somewhat wet Excelsior. The chambermaid said, “ Stay and rest Your mattress here and go in quest Of the landlord and bid him come And see how you have brought him some Excelsior.” But ere the youth could make reply, 1-Ie heard loud footsteps drawing nigh, And then the landlord’s form appeared Who as he felt the mattress jeered— “ Excelsior.” And then he roared, “What have you there ! A mattress filled with husks? or hair? Or cotton top? Come, boy, don’t lie!” To which the youth did make reply, “ Excelsior.” “ Try not to pass,” the old man said, “Or I will bat you o’er the head! I ordered husk—What have you brought?” The youth replied, “ Why, I have got Excelsior.” Then he laid hold of the young scout And kicked him and the mattress out, But as they lit from far aloft The youth felt under him the soft “ Excelsior.” There lay the mattress in the dirt, On top the youth, though quite unhurt, And picking up his erstwhile bed, He stole away and softly said, “ Excelsior.” ioo Statistics of the College The authors of this department have spent much valuable time in search- ing investigation and careful calculation, and as a result are able to give the following valuable information to the world : We beg that the results of labor will be taken as they are intended, merely as matters of information, and we hope they wrill give no offense. “If the cap fits ’’ etc., if not laugh it off as a joke, and tell your parents that the sta- tistics are given exactly opposite to the truth.

Statisticians, B. and S. B. of E. There is now a new institution in Hobart College. Seems strange too doesn’t it? One would think that the tense of that verb was wrong and I was referring to some of the new buildings—institution—which are soon to be erected. But that institution to which I refer has not been heralded for years as the new dormitory or the largest freshman class that ever entered Hobart College. In fact its birth has been as quiet, as unheard of and as unpretentious as the birth of any little babe in an obscure corner of the earth. You have heard of Aguinaldo, of Roberts from Utah, whose ad. fora wife was answered by several hundred, but of whom he only chose three, mind you, three only and not three hundred. Why, even the Boers of late have been getting their names in the papers. Well, you must not let your minds wander so. My institution is the one that is to .spread the news of the great social events of Geneva to people at home and abroad. No function of Main street for the past year has escaped the eagle eye of the author of the Book of Events. With energy as untiring as that of the professor of elocution or of the teacher of the word book, he has been attending the “ at homes ” and balls, and then though the hour be late, he on his return home, like a Jane Austin or a Boswell, sits down and writes page after page of “ fool’s ” cap with 011I3' a stop now and then to give a significant pull at his magnificent eyebrows. 102 Library Loafer. An Idle Fellow has observed that the clocks in public houses are always fast and those of churches invariably slow. If this chronometrical authority were less idle he might have gladdened our hearts by giving a hard and fast rule by which to tell the correct time from a College clock, one of the Hobart varietj’, which grows lazy with the rest of us on the calm, sleep) days and loses ground—if we may use here an expression savoring so much of the soil. To be sure some maintain that this loss is counterbalanced on days when the wind is high, for then the hands get a lift, as does a Freshman catching a ride on a bob-sleigh grocer’s delivery, when renewing the days of his (comparative) youth, and, in his infantile recklessness, bidding defiance to the conventions of “Geneva proper,’’ which has begun to bless him with her patronage. But, as we were going to remark when we were led astray into verdant fields, it is easy for one to assure himself that this balance of loss and gain is by no means even. The doubter has only to follow the timepiece in old Drome- dary's gable when he wishes to catch the homeward bound train, to learn in the 103 hard school that the -wind can not offset the results from the slumbering dis- position of the clock. But in no way does the student gain this impression more strongly than in trying to “make chapel ” by the aid of a watch sup- posed to be running with the College chimes. No -wonder the local jewelers do a good trade in regulating watches to keep College time. Despite all the poor lads’ efforts Durf. continues to invite them—by the sign of the cross on the tree—to his weekly tea parties. “Verily, verily,” saith the Hobartian, “ straight is the gate and difficult is the way that leadeth unto the chapel, and few there be that find it.” We do not mean to flatter our clock with being the sole cause of the institution of the tea party. Nay, perdy, the chronometer is not the only pebble when it comes to somniacitis. What student has not turned over in bed a half dozen times on many a morning, in disregard suc- cessively of the call to final cramming (the alarm of the first clock, on his bed post, which he shuts off immediately), the call to final cribbing (the second alarm clock, which he also extinguishes, tho’ he must, ipso facto, roll out and traverse the length of the room, and stand on a chair to reach it), the call of a friend on his way to breakfast, and finally the same friend’s oft repeated warnings, after his breakfast, that the slumberer rise and prepare for divine (?) service. What student, say we, has not rolled over and gone back to the Land of Nod with this lullaby on his boyish lips? “Just one snooze, just one more, There may be others, I know, But for me one more ; Chapel or not, of time there’s a lot, I will be happy forever with one snooze more.” No one seems to be able to state authoritatively the reason why the wooden bar was placed across the rear of the chapel. Some say that it has a deep ritualistic meaning and acted as a forerunner to the candles on the altar. The President’s position in regard to ritualism is at present unknown to the student- body ; but it is well understood that he disapproves of the various forms of criticism at present so prevalent among the students and is more inclined to favor a view of personal infallibility. One theory was that censors were to be suspended from the bars in order that the odor of sanctity which so noticeably hangs over that part of the chapel might not be dispelled by any remarks hurled in its direction. Perhaps the original idea was that the bar would confine some of the worst discords pro- duced by the choir and the organ. This idea, though remarkable in its origi- nality and depth of thought, being well worthy of the brain which produced “ The Art of College Building, or How to Touch Everybody,” and whose great 104 production, “The Need of Athletics in a Small College, or How I Built up Hobart,” is read by all true lovers of field sports, nevertheless failed and had to be abandoned. The bar, however, was retained in hopes that it might be of use for restrain- ing some restive freshman who should become frightened at the length of the sermons. One of the juniors suggested that refreshments might be served over it. This idea was scouted as facetious. The following schedule is taken from the note book of the official scorer (not to be confused with the monitor) of the college chapel for the years 1898-9. It contains complete statistics connected with the course of sermons offered in Hobart last year. If there are any who have not yet passed off their conditions in chapel attendance we recommend its careful perusal to them. We can vouch for its accuracy, but the Student should remember that the proper time has been deducted for all stoppages caused by disturbances in the choir, and else- where—when for any reason the congregation ivas not maintaining a state of sobriety. If due attention is paid to these irregularities we feel sure that this interesting leaf from the past, which we take pleasure in placing before the pursuer of knowledge, will be found most valuable : Date Sept. 25.

Of course, it was accidental,—I was just outside his door but had to stop there and fix my pompadour as it was in danger of falling.” Mrs. M. “Why of course, Mrs. J., you would not intentionally play ‘drop- her-easy ’ or eaves dropper, or whatever it is, but what was the fellow saying ?” Mrs. J. “Why, ‘scat my—,’ it was perfectly horrible. The fellow said that Miss Main Street told him that Sunday night she went to hear the Rev. Dr. Alexander preach. Here is a ‘ fac-simile ’ of her remarks. : ‘You know, Mr. Student, when I entered Chapel, I knelt down to offer up my prayer for good health, good looks, youthful appearance, etc., when (gee, golly, gosh, darn—you can get Mr. Simons or Mr. Teller to supply the remaining anathemas), I suddenly found that I had been offering up that little prayer—‘ Now I lay me down to sleep.’ Now, Mrs. M., how do you account for such a state of things ? Could Waldie’s playing have been a sort of lullaby-like echo of the performances of Wilson, Stevens, or Sally?” Mrs. M. “ No, Mrs. J., I admit the excellence and exquisite softness of the performances of Wilson, Waldie, Sally', and Steve, for I have often listened to them with rapture from the porch of your house, but I beg to differ with you. 1 once heard Mr. Whaley, the student of psychol- ogy� say : ‘ There is no psychosis as such without neurosis’ ? I think that lady must have been in a state of extreme youth or old age. How- ever, Mrs. J., I know you are a woman of wide-spread knowledge, for you have for your husband, wide-awake Jan., so you judge for yourself.” Mrs. J. “ Say, this mirror is dirty, but we won’t bother with it; the faculty never look inside the rooms, they only' examine them from the outside.— Mrs. M., you can’t imagine what a nice modest little fellow Humphrey is ; bless his dear little tootsie wootsies. You have read David Marum surely? Well, a certain action of Rube’s made me think of David’s 107 sister. Rube shamelessly admits that he went to see Zaza, but iu justice to himself tells everybody that he was so shocked, that his modesty was so touched, that when he got back he went to bed in the dark, because he thought that if he lighted his lamp, he might accidentally see a reflection of himself undressing before the mirror. Mrs. M. Sorry to incerrupt you, Mrs. J., but if we only hurry to the door across the hall and rap, it will not be necessary to make up the bed, for I just heard the occupant getting up; Come on, Mrs. J., and I’ll beat you a race over there. Ye Life of ye College Man Verily the college man leads a life full of trials and tribulations. In the early morning he gettetli up and doth hie himself to his recitations. _ He sitteth still for a space of 55 minutes, while the revered Prof, filleth up the time with useless talking and asking of questions. By and by the Prof, asketh him a question, and lo, he cannot answer. For he hath been thinking of the run that he intendeth to make in the next football game. In the afternoon he donneth his football armour even unto his helmet and spikes and doth practice in the kicking of the pigskin and lining up. By and by the captain calleth for him to run with the ball, but he doth not heed. For he hath been thinking of the sweet and gracious fairy which he desir- eth seeing that same night. In the evening he putteth on his frock and hasteneth to the house where his gentle fairy liveth. He stayeth very late, talking of his wonderful adventures and achievements of his college career in word books. By and by the gentle fairy questioneth him upon a certain subject, but she getteth no reply until she repeateth the question. For he hath been thinking of the four recitations in the morning. Yea, verily, the life of the student is full of trials and tribulations. 108 North and South United In a Half Dozen Spoons Spoon I He was from the cold and clammy north. She from the esculent and happy south land. They two had enacted several chapters in the way of spoons, as they sat under an orange tree in St. Augustine, when she suddenly and fretfully exclaimed, “ I never loved Yon Yonson, George, I swear! ” “ Nay, nay Pauline,” he said, “ swear not. If anything I do detest it is a cursing woman round the house.” “Let’s drop your Shakespeare, George, and listen,” she replied. “Ten years ago I met this man in pa’s orange grove in Florida. He loved me with a love so intense that still,4 when quiet stars are in the sky, and solemn night sits throned upon the hills,’ metliinks I hear his face twitch in the dark. Notwith- standing the fact that our love was all (like a jug handle) on one side, I should have married him, for he had both wealth and position, but one night, as we were escaping from an ice cream parlor into the gloaming, pa shot him.” 44 Shot him,” cried George, “where? ” “ In the gloaming,” answered Pauline. “The first time he shot at him he missed, but the second shot killed him and he is dead.” George paused a moment and then asked absently, “ What did he die of?” “Of a sudden,” Pauline replied. Spoon II 44 Your father is a dangerous man, is he not, Pauline?” “Yes, with a gun, for he is such a poor marksman one never knows what he will hit. O George, take me away beyond the reach of his horrid marks- manship.” 109 “ But where can we fly, Pauline? ” “Anywhere, even to Geneva.’’ “ Curb your zeal, my dear,” George said. “ Geneva is a thousand miles away and I have only §27, which would land me somewhere in South Carolina.” “ But I have wealth,” she sobbed bitterly. “Enough for both of us. See,” and taking a purse from her bosom, she counted out 32 new and shining $20 gold pieces. “It is enough,” gasped George, overwhelmed by the sight. “I will go with you. It is more than enough, Pauline. We will have sufficient to stop at Waterloo on our way up.” Spoon III It was a wild, wierd night. An unseasonable and uncalled for night, or, as George said, a regular Geneva night. They had been married two weeks and had spent all but $60 of their combined capital. They were seated in the gloaming; not the same gloaming in which Yon Yonson had lost his life, but the unhealthy Geneva gloaming. “George,” Pauline suddenly exclaimed, “I have a telegram from pa, say- ing he will be here on the evening train.” “ O,” George gasped, “ then we still have sufficient time to escape, for he cannot arrive before 7:40.” “ Yes,” she replied, scrutinizing the message more closely, “ but this was sent yesterday, and it is last night he will arrive.” “ Then indeed we are lost, for as you have said, he is a bad man—with a gun.” Spoon IV Ere Pauline could answer George’s remark, a burly form darkened the doorway and Pauline’s father stood behind them (for they were looking out of the window and had their backs turned toward the door). “ Iia,” he exclaimed tragically, “ I have tracked you here at last. Villain, stand and defend your- self.” This George proceeded to do at once, by placing Pauline between himself and the gun. Then the old man wandered off into such profanity that the plastering fell in flakes from the ceiling and the stars outside stopped twinkling. Finally, having spent himself, he fell fainting to the floor. Gathering courage, after realizing that he had really fainted, and was in a catamose con- dition, George cautiously advanced across the room and appropriated the guu, and when the old man came to, pointed it at his face, exclaiming, “ Now by my harldom I will make you eat your words.” 110 Spoon V Being still in a half fainting condition and without a gun, he saw that he would have to comply with George’s request, but it proved too trying an ordeal and he fell back insensible. Methodically feeling his pulse and later on his pockets, George found a hundred or more of the bright $20 gold pieces, and hastity transferred them to his own pocket purse. Four days later they arrived in St. Augustine. “Dear George,” lisped Pauline fondly, “ we have had a delightful honeymoon and I am indeed happy and in your love lean never know anything but peace, peace, peace. But do you really love me, George? ” “ So well,” he said, pressing her to his breast, “ that for me there shall be noN., no S., no E., 110 W. as long as our money lasts.” “ And that will be forever, dear,” she cried, “for here with pa’s posses- sions will we erect a winter resort hotel and never know the meaning of want, only as it applies to those who want reduced rates.” “And won’t get them,” replied George facetiously, and then changing his tone to the pathetic, he added, “ Oh Pauline, you are a treasure, and hence- forward as I am from the N. and you from the S. these two shall be united forever, let us swear.” And they both swore, for looking up they saw Pauline’s father, who had been resuscitated by the Geneva police, standing before them. Mankind have named me “Trousers.” On the Bowery our family go by the name of “ Pants.” The young man upon whom I attend is very zealous as to my personal appearance, and regularly, twice a week, the tailor takes me in hand, removes my blemishes, and presses rigid creases down my entire length. Every morning my occupant enters a vine-clad stone building, where there are many others of his kind, seated solemnly in rows. I have here seen pitiful sights, and my heart goes out to my misused brother “ Trousers.” Some of the people present actually kneel upon the dusty floor, pitilessly soiling and disfiguring their helpless trousers. My owner does not indulge in this sense- less habit, and, as a consequence, I am never baggy at the knees, my creases are always intact, and he preserves his reputation as an immaculate person.

Fie no sooner set his feet on ‘ ‘ terror- is firmer,” as he wrote his dear mania, than he began to cast enquiring N) glances around. “ Say, there’s a pretty girl, ‘ toby or not toby,’well, ■ - I guess it’s ‘ toby.’ I’ll show these Easterners what a fellow from the West can do.” Fresh : “ I beg pardon, Miss, but can 3-011 tell me where the College is?” Girl : “ Why, with pleasure! It is in mi’ direction—I’ll take 3-ou there if you have 110 objections?” Fresh : “ It’s ver}- kind of 3'ou, I’m sure, Miss-” Girl: “ Miss Pick-me-up.” Fresh : “ Thanks, Miss Pick-me-up, will you tell me a few things about the College—are there an}- Frats.?” Girl: “ Oh, 3-es, Mr. Freshman. That’s 3-our name, isn’t it? There are several societies, but the society of the O. M. A. is the best known and most popular—particulari}- with the Freshmen. They are veiy quiet about their affairs—meetings lateat night, etc. Mr. Breeden, whom I knew a few years ago, is at the head of it. He permits no hazing.” Fresh : ‘‘I shall at once see Mr. Breeden and apply for admission. That point about no hazing is well taken and will cause me to rush the Frat. at once.” Girl: “Mr. Green, oh, I beg pardon! Mr. Freshman, }-ou must see Dr. Vale (accent on the ‘ Doctor ’) and tell him of }-our arrival. He will at once ask }-ou for your full name and history, and for that of your father and grand- father, and then he will immediately jot it all down in his Book of Events. It’s a good thing to get on the right side of the professors. You might see Prof. McDaniels, and, b - way of ingratiating }-ourself in his good favor, 3-ou might tell him that his two children, the boy and girl you are sure to see on the porch, are veiy promising }-oungsters. ” Fresh: “ O11I}- one thing more, Miss Pick-me-up, before you leave me. How about the g}-m ?” Girl : “ It is in the hands of the Sophs ; they give swimming lessons to Freshmen during the first month of College—Stevens knows all about it ; he will tell }-ou.” F'resh : “Well, good-b}-. You have been very kind. I’d like to call. I am sure that when I tell the Dean how kind Miss Pick-me-up has been that he’ll tell me to seize the first opportunity to come out and thank you. Good- by.” 115 Love’s Triumph.

The vivid picture came up to me of the evenings I spent at the Marine Band concerts on the Capital grounds. Wheeling about to my desk, I began to reproduce the thoughts I had so fully recorded in an old diary of that time, illuminating these open pages, from the gallery of my memory. How well I remember a certain evening there, when I had not as usual joined in the promenade which eddied around and around a grassy plat where the musicians were playing. I was standing in the crowd, near the outer edge of the current of pleasure seekers, peering with young romantic eyes into the stream of new faces passing by. It was then I saw for the first time that one face which from that day to the present has stirred my most tender thoughts. As she passed along, I followed her with devouring ej es, till she should repass around the circle. I caught sight of her again, as she turned in my direction, and bent every energy of my will to draw her close to mein passing. Edging close to the front, I fixed my eyes on the beautiful face and form approaching, in whom I recognized the embodiment of my most rapturous boy- ish dreams. As if in unconscious response to my thoughts, she and her companion drifted to the outer edge of the throng, near to where I stood. I could have touched her,—could have grasped her hand. In slow and reluctant yielding to my imperative look, she raised her eyes to mine. O joy unspeak- able ! I saw in them that indescribable something which one learns from only one woman, and which makes his whole young nature throb with noble rapture. Her face was still turned toward me, with a sweet sad smile, as she was lost again in the crowd. The strains of the music sounded faint in my ears, and far away. I pressed into the current and strained ni}' eyes to catch a glimpse of the white gown. The concert was over—the crowd began to scatter. Disspirited by a vain search, I drifted up East Capitol Street. Before I had 117 realized where T was going I stood at the entrance to Lincoln Park, and threw myself upon a bench. Through the trees I caught sight of a white dress, and leaped to my feet. Where the two girls sat, the setting sun cast a glow of crimson about them. I hesitated a moment before her, and drawn by that same sweet look in her eyes timidly sat down beside her. “How could you be so bold?” she .stammered, with flushed cheeks and quivering lips. “ I couldn’t help myself ” 1 faltered,“ will you let me stay here beside you ?” In moments of excitement we often notice mere trifles, which afterward occupy prominent places in the mental image. It was so with the spangle which, hung from her neck, from which I read the word “ Mary.” I have often dwelt upon it with a fondness, peculiar to the lover, for repeating one dear name. “We must go, now, Della,” she said, to her companion. “ May I not go -with you to your home?” I ventured. “No,” she replied, “ leave us now, it was very improper for us to meet in this way.” I grasped the long satin ribbon which hung from her waist. She let me cut off a tiny strip from the end. She laughingly took the visiting card I offered, and left me bewildered, at a loss wliat to do. Why was I so improvident of my future peace of mind as to let her pass out of my life so, with scarcely a protest! O, Mary ! Mary ! for eight long years I have prayed for a trace of you, and have treasured your memory alone in my heart! % A few 3'ears passed. My ideal did not grow dim ; the image of my love only grew more fixed in my heart, with the idle but living hope that I should .some day .see her again. 1 prepared myself in my profession and in time began the practice of it. My diary at this period recalls an invitation I received to the Commencement ball of a certain woman’s college. My programme having alread}' been filled for me, I met only a comparative few of the girls in the crowded ball room. Becoming very warm, after a few dances I managed to get away alone, and strolled out into the conservatory to cool off. I had before observed a secluded seat around a sharp turn, and thither directed my steps. As I drew near the further end I heard a slight rustle of silk, and on turn- ing the corner I saw that one end of the seat had just been occupied by a lady� I was about to apologize, when she turned her head so that the flicker of a Jap- anese lantern fell upon her face. We were alone—my Mary and I! Overcome by the sudden emotion I sank down beside her and fervently grasped her droop- ing hand in mine. Xi8 “ My darling Cosette, let me be your Marius ! This is Jean Valjeau’s gar- den. I am too happy to talk ! ” I drew her to me with an unspeakable yearn- ing in my soul, and pressed her lips with a long and fervent greeting. Then, fearful that I had profaned her sacred person, I released her and reverently drew back. “ My love, when Marius and Cosette met like this it was only to be separated for a long dreary time ; but let our only separation be that which we have already borne ! See the proof of my faithfulness,” I whispered, asmy cheek touched hers. “ That ribbon I have carried in my watch so long ! Say the word -which will seal our happiness forever! ” “Yes, Roger ; we were prepared and preserved for each other, and so now have been reunited. Providence smiles upon our union. We were introduced to each other in a manner unknown to conventional social codes, but all the more valid to the heart. You were haring such a good time in there with your partners that I was afraid you weren’t going to notice me at all in that big crowd.” “ And so,” said I, “when you saw1 me steal out here alone, you arranged this romantic meeting ? ” “ Leave me, sir, she playfully commanded, “andseek an introduction, for you know me only as ‘ Mary,’ and it was very improper for us to meet in this way. Shall we sit out the next dance? Good bye, Roger, for a few minutes. Remember ! we must meet as apparent strangers !” The next evening the graduating class met for their final banquet, and according to the time-honored precedent, the engagement-roll was called—a custom which often occasions some marked sensations. The turn passed around the table. At length the toastmistress challenged “ Bachelor Mary,” and the chorus of girls chimed out the nickname. But then and there she faithlessly repudiated the prophetic reputation of unrelenting maidenhood which she had hitherto borne. The soft pressure of an arm about my neck awakened me, and the sound of a puzzled voice, repeating some words of endearment from the open page of my diary. “ I came in to tell you, Roger, that the children are asleep.” “ Then let us adjourn to the garden, dearest.” “I was thinkiug of that night,—very much like to-uight—-when we met in the conservatory.” H9 A Slight Mistake A modest maiden stands With calm and folded hands, And eagerly she scans A billet doux ; Her rosy lips repeat, In passion’s fiery heat, “ Love me, my dear, dear sweet, My Billy, do.” Then as she reposes Under fragrant roses, To Will she composes A billet doux. Will reads the loving note His darling Katie wrote; It proves an antidote To a billie due. And Will at once replies With many conscious sighs, With wild and restless eyes, To the billie due. ’ Tis sent by some mistake By the old reprobate, To Kate, his own dear Kate, As a billet doux. Imagine Kate’s surprise, And how away she shies With dire and angry cries The billie due. 120 Typical College Town 1 OR the benefit of coming students who have never been in Genvea we beg to state a few facts with which ever} student should acquaint himself before entrance. Geneva, a prosperous town of several hundred inhabitants, is situ- ated between the two great centres of industry, Waterloo and Oaks Corners. It is divided into two parts—Geneva proper and Geneva improper ; the latter being the more popular with the students. It has an excellent system of electric cars which pass the back door of the College every 50 minutes when the weather is good. Torpedoes are often placed on the track by the students to give warning of the approach of a car to any- one too lazy to walk down town. Geneva is celebrated for its many beautiful buildings, among which may be mentioned the N. Y. C. Depot, Gym of Hobart College and the City Hall. (Note—The interior of the latter looked very fine after ’01’s Freshman banquet.) The town possesses the finest fire department within 20 miles and there has never been a time when the fire company has not been at the scene of the fire within 45 minutes after the alarm has been turned in. The streets have just been made navigable, to the great delight of the bicyclists who can now take up the whole sidewalk, as the people can walk in the streets if they do not care to be run over. Geneva is equipped with all modem improvements, including the Salvation Army and city steam. The latter is especially enjoyed as there is never a lack of it during the warmest days. Lake Seneca is in view of the city and is noted for its placidity which enables sail boats to venture out at all times without danger. Also for its extreme warmth, facilitating good bathing. It always freezes in winter and thus students can skate upon it from December to April. Being so near to the College, students can go rowing during the fall and spring in the numerous boats of the 121 College, and the Aquatic Association is therefore in a flourishing condition— races taking place almost daily during fine weather. A large and well equipped police force is always on hand ; there being 3 on at a time, except on Base B. days when there are 6, and banquet nights when there are 12. There were formerly two Annexes, but one has been discontinued to the great chagrin of the students. Geneva is also noted for its pretty girls and for the cordiality existing between the people of Geneva proper and those of Geneva improper. There are several places of interest which the new coiner should not fail to visit, viz., the mineral spring, cider mill, Dan’s and the aforementioned police station, in order named. There are no saloons in Geneva, as it is strictly a prohibition town ; so mothers need have no fear in sending their sons here, and all students of Hobart make it their business to care for Freshmen as brothers, to keep them studying, see that they attend chapel regularly and keep their feet in the way of right- eousness and in obedience to the reading room regulations. Joy hath light laughter, And sorrow a sigh ; Hot words hath anger To utter it by ; Grief hath her tear, And poor pain her cry ; But love hath her sweet silence, Ah, love hath sweet silence! Do we not know it, dear Heart, you and I? 122 How Cold are Thy Baths, Apollo WITH APOEEO-GIES TO H. W. T,. “ How cold are thy baths, Apollo ! ” Cried a Freshman forlorn, vmbefriended, As the Sophomore that called him to follow, The steps to the bathroom descended. His way for ablutions he wended, Because the Soph, told him all men did. “ How cold are thy baths, Apollo!” “How cold are thy baths, Apollo!” (He quoted Jugurtha, the splendid, Who went to his death in the hollow, Dark caverns of Rome unattended.) “I see its m37 death that’s intended!” The Freshman cried, greatly offended. “How cold are thy baths, Apollo ! ” “How cold are thy baths, Apollo!” The shriek of that Freshman ascended, Though for cold he scarcely could swallow, When he took off his garments so mended, And into the ice bath descended. The shock was too great—and he ended— “ How cold are thy baths, Apollo !” Chorus of Students. “How cold are thy7 baths, Apollo ! ” Echo the students of Hobart—the splendid As down for their baths in the hollow, Cold, unheated Gym. they descended. And the Faculty heard and amended, Whereat all rejoiced who attended. “ How cold are tliy7 baths, Apollo ! ” j. M. B. 123 Not Altogether TKINS passed down the street with a depressed countenance. As he went by the shop of Undertaker Smiley there sat the proprietor, with his feet curled about the chair legs, liis elbows on the desk, and hands spread out before him, vulture-like, waiting for some one to die. Atkins felt a familiar hand on his shoulder before he reached the next block, and a solicitous, friendly voice, calculated to dispel his melancholy. ‘‘Why, Smily, it’s my grandmother’s illness, thanks; we are afraid she can’t get well.” ‘‘O, I am so sorry to hear it, my dear fellow! You have my deepest sympathy. If worst should come to worst, however, our profession are always ready to perform the last sad rites. In fact, I should esteem it a privilege to stand by you in the event of her deplorable death. Would you feel disposed to call me up when the fatal end comes ? I ani sure my facilities are far supe- rior to those of my fellow-practitioner, Berry.” ‘‘Very well, I will call you up, and let you know when she dies.” ‘‘ O, I thank you very much for this favor. Good morning ! ” The undertaker saw the vision of a $100.00 casket ; bills for carriages, flowers, trimmings, extras, etc.; he imagined he felt a check for $300.00 in his pocket already. “ Jim,” demanded Smiley, as he sat complacently at his desk a few days later, “ How about old Mrs. Atkins?” “ She is not expected to live an hour, sir. I just came from the doctor s, sir.” “ Well, get ready that embalming fluid, and have the wragon at the door, so we can start the moment we hear from Atkins. Tbere’ssome one at the ’phone; Never mind, I’ll answer it myself.” “ Hello ! ” ‘‘Hello! ” “O, is that you Atkins? How are you? And your dear grandparent, I trust she is— ” “ Yes, she died half an hour ago.” “ O, it grieves me to the heart to hear it ! And shall I come right up, as we agreed the other day ? ’ “ O, no, thanks; I am merely sending my friends word of our bereavement, and thought I’d call you up to inform you, as I promised. You know we called Berry when she died.” 124 Antidotes Professor James Powell,the renowned Physicist, tells some amusing stories of his childhood and youth. In some of these, in the likes and yearnings of his youth, we see that the saying, “ coming greatness casts its shadow’s before,” is true. Janies Powell always loved to commune with nature ; he would wander out into the “pathless w7oods ” and collect all sorts aud conditions of insects and small animals. Then on his return he would examine each subject minutely and oft he would say “ this is important,” and add it to his valuable collection. One day his silent communings with nature and her tin}7 yet wonderful creatures, had caused him to be totally forgetful of self, and of the lapse of time. His enraptured attention was, however, soon disturbed’ by the shades of evening aud that still small voice which tells us that we are in need of nourish- ment. So James now began to hustle for home, and decided to cut through the girls’ school-yard, although it was forbidden ground, as it would be a great saving of time. The sound of music drew’ him to a window7 of the building, aud there seated with her back to the window was a young girl with beautiful long black hair, playing on a piano. As he said, “ an uncontrollable impulse seized me to pull that girl’s hair, and I did. She gave one awful shriek. I neither looked to the right nor to the left, but called upon my former athletic training and flew7 like the wind. ” Another story of the mischievousness of youth is told by the eminent pro- fessor : “ We used to march into chapel through the dining hall. The tables were all set and the coffee poured out and the saucers put over the cups to keep the coffee from becoming too cold. One morning while inarching through the hall another of my impulses seized me and I took one of my beloved crawfish, one of nature’s beauties, and slipped it into a cup and put the saucer over it again. When we came out of chapel our chaplain said grace. I, howrever, kept my eyes ‘peeled ’ on that saucer—it kept bobbing up aud down ’till it almost got the motion of a pendulum which is technically called an oscillation, but which I term a swing-swang. Well, just as soon as ‘ amen ’ was said, every boy grab- bed his saucer off and brought the cup of delicious liquid up to his mouth—my victim among the rest. Mr. Crawfish stretched out his claw and caught the fellow on the upper lip, and I—well, he saw me after school.” 125 Hymn After War Not to the swift, C) God, Not to the swift Ilelongeth the race, Nor any battle of battles to the strong! Not unto us, O God, Not unto us— To Thee all praise ! Had not Thy mighty Arm upheld our arms Of Thy great All, O God, I ask nor wealth, nor pow’r, Nor proud Fame’s fleeting hour To climb the stern steeps her votaries have trod— Grant me but grace to be Half my love thinketh me. Each by Thy grace Doth its own bent decide; And thereby we abide. In dreadful days, Vain were our fire and steel ! Woe were our weal! Love’s 126 Business is Business T was at supper that Joe first gave vent to his disappointment. After work- ing night and day for the prize offered by the Chicago Register, he had just learned that afternoon that he was only fourth on the list. “I wonder who this Charles Ashley is, who came out first, and got the launch ? ” he inquired. “ Probably one of the agents of Proctor Co., that Carrie’s brother was telling us about,” dryly remarked Joe’s father. “ And who are Proctor Co. ? ” “ O, you were not around,” spoke up Carrie, “when Frank was telling about them. It is almost incredible to what extent modern business enterprise will go,” she added. A mischievous expression began to spread over her face. Now Joe had bored the whole household so long with his talk about the coveted prize, that they were all heartily glad that this occasion was found to tease him. An incident soon occurred which kindled his interest to a white heat. It was a letter, which read as follows : PROCTOR CO., Dealers in General Colonial Merchandise, New York, N. Y., Dec. 9, 1899. Mr. Jos. Wilkins, Chicago, 111.: Dear Sir—We have observed your ability in winning prizes publicly offered by newspapers, etc. We can offer you a tempting salary as our agent in Chicago in this connection. Our business is a new departure, which it is not advisable to explain to you as yet, at least until you shall have committed yourself to us. We are assured of your chracter through certain friends, and feel sure you will serve us acceptably. Awaiting an early reply, we are Yours truly, 127 Proctor Co. Bearing in mind the teasing he had already received, Joe had resolved that hereafter he would keep to himself every’ project in hand. Following is the reply he made to the letter : Chicago, 111., Dec. io, 1899. Proctor Co., New York City : Dear Sirs—I have heard of you and think you must have some pretty clever ways to win prizes if you have been able to get them away from me. Send me what publications and helps you have. I’ll work for you for $15.00 per week. Yours truly, Joseph Wiekins. Cousin Carrie noticed that Joe received another letter in a few days, which he took to his room and hastily tore open. PROCTOR CO., Dealers in General Colonial Merchandise, New York, N. Y., Dec. 14, 1899. Mr. Jos. Wilkins, Chicago, 111. : Dear Sir— We accept your services at $5.00 per week. Not all of your time will be occupied for us. There are many premiums advertised nowadays in magazines; by prepared food companies, by newspapers, for the increase of their circula- tion, etc. Some of them are of value, and in a systematic effort to obtain them our firm finds a remunerative enterprise. We expect you to be on the lookout for all such opportunities, and we send you a specially prepared dictionary for your convenience in any possible word co?ilesls. We dispose of all premiums so collected, by shipment, to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines, on a large scale, where there is a great demand for all tho luxuries of civilization. Kindly forward all prizes by express, C.O.D. Yours truly, PROCTOR CO. For the next few days Joe spent his after-school hours in entire seclusion, and exhibited a reserved and self-important demeanor at table. An express package labelled “ Books ” arrived. The Christmas holidays were at hand and Cousin Frank came out from New York. Joe, wrapped up in his new interest, was hardly civil to him, or, in fact, to anyone else. At the Christmas dinner, however, the boy forgot his usual occupation in the superior attractions, and was like himself once more. “ By the way, Frank,” spoke up Carrie, at a lull in the conversation, “tell us more about that firm of Proctor Co.” “ O yes,” he replied, as he searched in his pocket, “ I have had some cor- respondence with them lately,—in fact, I have the letters with me.” ” Read them,” exclaimed Joe, excitedly. 128 “Say, Joe,” rejoined his cousin, ignoring the command, “ did the express company deliver you that dictionary which I—” But the boy had snatched the letters, and was devouring one of them. A confused expression began to creep over his face. Then, darting off to his room, he returned with two letters. “ Took here !’’ he exclaimed, “ isn’t this queer? They are just like those I got, word for word. Funny they should write the same letters to you, too, Frank !” “ Here’s another,” said Frank, handing him a letter. “ You may recognize the hand.” “ Why, its the very one I wrote to Proctor Co., myself. Say !” as a flush overspread his face, “ what do you know about this, anyway ?” “ You bit easier than I expected, my boy,” replied Frank, with a roar of laughter. “ I wrote both sets, myself. Behold in me the mysterious firm of Proctor Co.! ’ ’ Nonpareil Thanks, brother, I have, indeed, the best reason to be proud of her, and to be the happiest man on earth! And to think that I should have been the lucky man, among so many aspirants. She is worth everything to me ; I shall allow no conceivable inducement to separate her from me for even a day. As to her personal claims, though it may seem unbecoming for a married man to speak so ; this prize of mine cannot be matched the world over. Her bearing only shows the noble spirit within her, and every movement is charac- teristic of the gentleness and harmony of her disposition. When we took our first trip together I did not leave her side in the car for a moment. As we traveled together I learned many of her traits I had not before observed. It inay have seemed rather sentimental to any possible look- ers-on, but I actually took her face between my two hands and searched far into those talking eyes. The response to my caress deeply touched my heart, for with a low whinny of delight, she, almost human-like, licked my face, in the affectionate, equine way. How reckless of those Chicago auctioneers to let such a magnigeent pacer go off so cheap ! I;can see my fortune in that reso- lute neck and those shapely limbs. 129 She and I - and Her Mother IT was about the middle of July in one of the great Summer resorts in the Adirondack . The weather was delightful and the waves of the beautiful little lake danced and sparkled in the sunlight. We had been together almost all day, she and I—and her mother. She was a dainty little maiden, with curly golden hair and bright blue eyes (almost, I might say, baby blue), with the prettiest dimpled hand and the smallest foot that I had seen. We were continually thrown in each other’s society, and to-day when I went around the golf cour.se with her mother (as she did not play but followed us around the course), I tliought what pleasure I should have in teaching her to play, with such beautiful surroundings of lake, forest and mountain, and she at my sided Every time I looked at her, which I did often, and sometimes when her mother was engaged in tearing up the turf, she smiled at me in such a charm- ing way that I could not but think that she was the sweetest girl I had ever seen. Her mother had been very careful of her and had kept her so succesfully away from young men that she was as simple and unconventional as any man could wish. It so happened that we three were at the same table at supper, and her mother told me that she would be away that evening, having to make a few calls at the neighboring cottages, so I resolved to see her daughter and put to her a question which I had intended asking all that day but could not because of her mother’s presence. We were seated that evening in their sitting room on the sofa. The lamp was turned down low and only a soft yellow light was diffused through the room. We talked to each other of commonplace events, of the future—of love. My arm stole softly around her waist and she looked up at me in such a con- tented way that I was sure she loved me, for she did uot shrink from me but put her hand confidently in mine. 130 How long we stayed like this I do not know ; neither of us spoke. Her eyes were closed and she looked a picture of contentment. Finally, I remembered my resolution to ask her that question which had been ever in my thoughts all day. “Dear,” said I, but just then the door opened and her mother stood before me. I did not take my arm from around my darling’s waist nor did she move, for, lo and behold—she was asleep. “ Our little daughter is very tired to-night,” was all I said. “Yes,” said my wife, “ it has been a hard da} on a little six year old girl.” And I had to put off my question about my wife’s birthday present until the next day. At Her Behest Since }rou ask it, dear, a dedication As meed of praise to your beloved name, I’m sitting here alone in meditation, Love’s tribute to my Love intent to frame. But ah, know this!—Were all the sayings golden, From Homer to the last millennial bard, Within one phase together blent and holden— An incense sweeter than the hill-borne nard!— Yea, were the}' ta’en and piled in wild confusion, A glittering mass, in divers colors dressed, They could not equal, in their proud profusion, Ihe thoughts our halting lips leave unexpressed! So, sitting here, and thinking of }’ou, dearest, And all high thoughts that ever in me stirred— Deep pondering on which would lit you nearest, I write your dedication—Not one word ! 131 On a Small and a Large Scale A DRY goods merchant in the town of Pumpkinville had on his shelves an unsalable piece of goods which had treasured the dust of ages. Pie conceived the frugal design of exchanging it for some more modern merchandise upon his next purchasing trip to the city. When next he entered the large wholesale house, he spent the morning in the selection of his goods. When he had given a considerable order, as he thought, he broached the subject of the unsalable piece of goods at home. The clerk promised to refer the matter to the proprietor. Mr. Pumpkinville returned in the afternoon and resumed his purchases. After a while the salesman approached him with the following proposition : “Asa matter of fact, sir, we should like to send you to Europe to transact a certain delicate piece of business for us.” “ Why, really, I can’t see what valuable service I could render you, when you have your own experienced employees to do it.” “ But I am speaking seriously, Mr. Pumpkinville, and make you this uncon- ditional proposition to pay all your expenses and a liberal commission.” “ W hy, my dear sir, you take me rather by surprise, but give me one night to consider the proposal.” He thought about it, he dreamed that he trod for the first time the splendid capitals of Europe. The idea took right hold of him and he bought himself a steamer trunk the first thing after breakfast. He went into the wholesale store with elastic steps, and sought out his friend tlie salesman. “ If you really mean that offer you made me yesterday,” he said, “ and hold to it, I am ready to accept. But I am rather curious to know what the errand is, that will repay you for the great expense of sending a man all the way to Liverpool.” “Well, sir, it’s like this : Ten years ago we received a shipment of goods which have proven unsalable. We thought the firm of which we bought them might allow us something for them, and you are the first mail we have come across in all these ten years who would have the gall to ask them to take back the goods.” 132 From the Pulpit Jack and Gill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water ; Jack fell down and broke his crown and Gill came tumbling after.” Brethren and Sistren :— There are many lessons we may take to heart from this sublime passage. In the first place, let us analyze and dissect it, and by so doing lay bare each particle of golden thought. “Jack and Gill went up the hill ”—Jack, evidently, is of the genus homo and of masculine gender. Gill, too, is of the genus ho?no, but of the fairer sex. True, the name Gill, etymologically, might be masculine and, treating it abstractly and analytically, we might translate it, “half a pint.” But even such minute investigation does not aid us in our decision. Brethren, we must search for other, for higher reasons. Looking at the mat- ter a little more broadly we ask the question—“ Why did Jack and Gill make the collabular ascent ?” The answer conies to us with overwhelming force and directness : “ To fetch a pail of water.” And here it is that light is thrown on the sex of Gill. If Gill were of masculine gender, would Jack have accom- panied her in her collabular ascent ? Most emphatically, no. For—and we are reluctant to admit it—a selfish being is man. Thus, by a process of elimina- tion, the sex of Gill is proved. And now, in the actions of these two, endless paths of psychological and metaphysical research are opened before us. Let us closely examine the mat- ter : First, was Gill Mrs. Jack ? Certainly not; for if she had been Mrs. Jack she would have been so called. And was there ever an error in the classics? Brethren, the answer conies from the fullness of our hearts, no ! Then might this not be an exception to the rule? We answer “ no ” again—for the most exceptional scholar has been unable to make an exception to any of the excep- tions to exceptions found under the list of exceptions in the Harkness grammar which would fit the case. The logical conclusion is then that she was not Mrs. Jack. T33 Then was she Gill Jack-that is, in sororical relations to the afore mentioned ? With the grief germinated by a knowledge of the pomps and vanities of this wicked world, still again the heart-rending “ no ” must be uttered. No—if Gill had been Gill-Jack, Jack would have suffered her to go alone for the pail of water. Little interest would he, in the hardness of his heart, have taken in the matter. Now the mild, but radiant light of a dawning consciousness of the ethical relations of Jack and Gill begins to suffuse itself about us with a gentle lustre. Jack was not indifferent to Gill. No, the only logical conclusion we can draw in our humanity and warm-heartedness is that Jack loved Gill. Here we have before us, in its majestic grandeur and in its grand majesty, the whole beauty and picturesqueness of the situation. Jack and Gill ascend the angular incli- nation of the elevation for a pail of water—Jack the stalwart wooer, Gill, the bashful damsel, shrinking modestly from his gallant speeches. We can see them now, in our mind’s eye, at the pump. A doubting Thomas may question our using the word pump. Let us pause a moment and consider. Would a spring be at the top of a hill ? No. Or if a stream flowed down hill would they have ascended the collabular elevation for the water ? Again, “no.” So a second time, by a process of elimination, we prove our statement. The pump reached, the pail is slowly filled. The pair, happy in each other’s devotion, start gaily down the hill, each holding the handle of the pail. All at once, alas, Jack slips ; he falls headlong. The gentle maiden tumbles after him. Our text is now illuminated and exemplified, and this is the end of the tragedy. I say tragedy for, reading between the lines, the fate of these two lovers is most apparent. Gill perished from the effect of her fall, and Jack, much injured, lived to mourn her death. Let us here closely follow the action, which is quick and energetic. Jack drops the pail and upsets it. In modern literature we would simply say “ He turned a little pale.” This is conclusively proved from the text which says he “ broke his crown,” or, we might say, had concussion of the cerebral surface. But, alas, poor Gill. The irony of fate was against her. For she, tripping over the pail, kicked the bucket, and her immortal soul has flown to better lands. 134 Faust at Hobart Scene—Night, ill a vaulted Chamber ; “ Faust seated in his library, restless. “ I’ve studied now Philosophy, “ And Jurisprudence, Medicine, “And, to my cost, Theology, “With ardent labor, through and through. “ And here I sit, with all my lore, “ Poor fool! no wiser than before. “I’ve led my pupils by the nose “Full thirty years, with all their woes, “ Now in my heart the truth doth burn, “That of more lore I naught can learn. “Yet what can I—a learned teacher, “ Do to convert a fellow creature? “ I will no more with aching brow “ Preach the things I do not know ! “Woe's me! still prisoned in the gloom, “ Of this abhorred and musty room, “ Where dimly through the painted glass, “Heaven’s sunlight doth, distorted, pass; “ Hemmed in by volumes thick with dust; “ A prey to worms and mouldering rust. “ And through these alcoves ne’er resound, “ Save my own voice, a human sound. “ From these drear halls I ne’er depart, “Dost ask why anguish tears my heart? “ Instead of human beings dear, “ Sepulchral volumes gibber near, “Spirits, I feel you hovering here, “Make answer!

Our intention of having the painting reproduced was frustrated, as the engraver’s art could neither approach the skill of the artist nor portray the charm of the subject. 135 The Ecclesiastical Scrap Book This institution suddenly sprang into fame, recognition, and Hobart College in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-nine. By a close and careful observ- ance of the order of worship outlined in this mechanical contrivance, our lay- readers, or students who intend to study for the ministry, will avoid all slips and pit-falls which might otherwise be the downfall of the unwary. With great precision and a perspicacity sure to meet with its just reward, the author of the little manual has outlined the order of the services as they should be followed. By the aid of this volume, which, by the way, contains some supplications thrilling with sublime pathos, the reader is enabled to follow a prescribed rule, without reference to “ the order of service as it should be,” which appears in the prayer book. So now we should render due thanks that no longer will there be a repetition of hymns, the finding of wrong psalms, and finally, last but not least, the offering up of prayers for the dead instead of prayers for the sick.

Papoose, Nebraskoux Tribe, Brooks, Stapleton Braves, Kansoux Tribe, Upon the inception of this suspicious organization in the very heart of our orderly and cultured East, the neighboring communities were filled -with appre- hension. Its very name seemed replete with suggestions of the frontier depre- dations perpetrated upon our'pioneer forefathers. The Secret Service Bureau, however, allayed all fears that our homes would once more become the scenes of Indian violence and carnage. After a thorough investigation of the Wigwam Club, they placed it under the vigilant surveillance of the Geneva Police, with the assurance that order would be preserved at any cost, and all riotous demon- strations would be restrained. In spite of the terrifying demeanors of some of the dashing new members, fresh from their native Western wilds, and the warlike habiliments in which they first burst into our midst, their wild natures are gradually being tamed by the gentle influences of civilization. Any occasional outbreaks, therefore, will be attributed to their irresistible yearnings for the tumultuous tribal surround- ings in which they have been reared. Accustomed to the “ strenuous life11 of the prairie and mountain, the restraints of the conservative East chafe their restless spirits continually. But we need not be alarmed ; their intentions are in the main peaceable. Breeden is among the rejected candidates for membership. lie claimed to be the Apache delegate from New Mexico ; but when it was discovered that his real residence was that hot-bed of effete Eastern culture, Chautauqua, where he pursues .summer courses in Theology, he was disqualified for admittance. Whaley professed to represent the Florida Seminoles; but the Wav Council voted that this long-subdued and pusillanimous tribe was not entitled to con- sideration. Chapman coveted admission also, from Ohio. This state, however, savors too much of the enervating refinement of the East, especially of late years, and has therefore incurred the disfavor of the Warriors, It was further sug- gested that Chapman had but too readily succumbed to its subtle and degene- rating influences. Wc would warn all aspirants for membership that the discipline of this Club is too severe for any except the most robust physiques. 149 II i I 1 Suus cuique attributus est error, Sed aon videmus manticae quod in tergo est.— ( Catullus.)
