Doup, 2 X F oreword The Board of Editors representing the class of 1904 of Hobart College, presents this volume to the College and its many friends. In looking over the Echoes of past years we note with gratification that each shows some decided improvement and growth over the one of the preceding year. We hope that by this volume we too may have helped, albeit in a small way, to raise the standard of the Hobart Echo toward that degree of perfection which we feel it must ultimately reach. We have made some few departures from the examples set us by past vol- umes, and trust that such are real improvements. In the Short Story Department our endeavor was to secure stories full of local color and entirely typical of Hobart life. We do not hesitate to say that we have succeeded in this, even beyond our expectation. In conclusion we heartily thank all who by word have shown an interest in the Echo, and are especially grateful to those whose interest has assumed the practical form of work.

Long and bravely had they travelled and now, when they were come near unto the far-famed land, visions of peaceful study possessed their innocent minds. But it so happened that when they were yet afar off, certain wise men of the land had news of their approach and went forth to meet them. And it came to pass that when the noble band had purchased seats in the Tabernacle and had procured for themselves all things which were deemed necessary for their welfare, certain wise men prophesied unto them, saying, “ Brethren, on account of your immature years and lack of experience, it hath by the council been ordained that ye shall be called Freshmen. Be it known unto ye furthermore that, according to the ancient and worthy custom of our land, there can be no peace in the realm until most awful war hath been fought. For it so happens that there are in our land certain ol’ er Pilgrims whose learning and experience is scarcely superior to your own, who are hostile to ye and must be con- quered.” Now when the noble Pilgrims heard the things which the wise men spake unto them they were exceeding wroth against the hostile band and declared war against them. And it came to pass that for seven days and seven nights most awful conflict raged. But on the morning of the eighth day, so bravely had the Freshmen fought that the hostile band was conquered and there was peace in the land for many days. After some time pleasantly spent in the realm of Euclid, Horace and Homer the valiant Freshmen raised on high their noble banner and bade defiance to the hostile force. When at last the wide-awake S-ph-mores awoke from their slumbers and beheld the sacred emblem, they rushed forth and met the noble Freshmen in most terrible battle. But the gallant band were invincible and on the morning after the conflict, still could be seen, by the dawn’s early light, the noble emblem of the class of naughty six. 25 Members 1906 Paul William Allen, Letters with Latin, ....

Herbert Rockwell Hollands 28 Sophomore History T is with great pleasure that we review the career of '05. Nearly two years of our course have passed and as we pause and look back we cannot help but feel a thrill of pride and satisfaction at the record we have made. Our contests with ’04, our first banner scrap, and our Freshman banquet have all been mentioned in the first chapter of our history. When College opened last fall most of our old men came back by the end of the first week, and we were reinforced by a few new men who entered the class. When the time for the class events arrived we showed our superiority. Out of courtesy to ’06 I shall not mention the football and baseball scores, but can only say that they were fair practice games. When it came to the cane rush the Fresh- ies were again snowed under in a contest in which the odds were greatly in their favor. Of course we all feel sorry for the poor “Fresh,” but what little respect we had for them went with the banner scrap. After placing the banner forty feet up a flag pole they had to be assisted by one of our oldest Professors to keep it there. But let us pass from class affairs into the larger range of “college affairs” and glance for a moment at our standing. In athletics eight of our class have won the football “H,” which is the best showing made by any class. But we do not stop with football, for out of the five on the basketball team we are represented by three men. When the time comes for the spring sports the ’05 men will be among the first to be in the field and will form the backbone of our lacrosse and baseball teams. But it is not upon the athletic field alone that our men are prominent, but in other fields as well. In the Dramatic club our men are seen taking the prominent parts, and we are well represented in tire Musical clubs. In the class room it is easily seen that ’05 does not put aside her studies for outside work and sports. Among her number are some of the most brilliant men in college. As we look into the somewhat hazy future we venture to predict that nineteen-five’s career will continue the pa;h she has begun ; and with this cheerful prospect we close the second chapter of our history.

We felt, however, that a plain duty lay before us, that of coaching the newly arrived Freshmen in regard to the affairs of war, and we set about this duty at once. Our wise advice fell on good soil, and during the week of scraps we saw the Freshman banner wave triumphant over many a battle field. Not all of us who passed through the excitement and turmoil of underclass days are here to enjoy the peace of the Junior year. We have lost seven men from our number. Some of these we hope may yet return to Hobart if not to the class of 1904. Others have left College to begin the real battle of life. One has gone from us to finish his course at another college. We have gained two new men, one coming amongst us from the class of 1905, and the other from a college in the wild and woolly west. While we grieve for those who are with us no more, we also welcome with joy those who have come to sit in the golden circle. Since assuming the dignity and responsibility of upperclassmen, we have zealously striven to keep up old and honored traditions. We have presided this year over many initiations into A 2 2, and we have seen to it that the O. M. A. be generously and impartially dealt out. We have also manifested college spirit along other lines, and 1904 men have won their share of athletic and scholastic “Ii’s.” Swiftly and happily have the days come and gone since we last moved up in chapel, and indeed since we entered up. Looking backward, we can hardly realize that since first the cam- pus rang with our yell, three years have passed. Very soon now we shall again move up, and for the last time. The joy of being Seniors will not be unaccompanied by the sad realization that too soon we must go out into the wide world, and Hobart days must become but an ever present and fondly cherished memory. May we as Seniors wield the paddle of authority fit- tingly and ever with regard to the good of Alma Mater. 33 Members 1904 Fred Grandy Budlong, s$, . . . . . 3 C Medbery Hall Fairmont, Minn. F. G.

Cuming Senior History NCE again your historian takes the pen in hand, this time to write the closing chapter of a history of which it becomes him not to boast. Yet when he looks back upon that more or less uncouth crowd that assembled on the campus, more than four years ago, for their first scrap, and compares it with the present class of 1903, he feels that some little pride is justifiable. For out of the chaos of that night grew order, and we went forth and fought vigorously and conquered. Still, our loss was heavy. One by one our comrades fell at our side,—some the vic- tims of that little band within the “wooden horseothers, who wooed too per- sistently that fair Penelope, society, by the relentless arrows of our crafty Ulisses, the Dean. So now but ten battle-scarred warriors, scarcely a fourth of our original number, remain. In the annals of Hobart Scholarship, Athletics, Literature, Art—in fact in all the branches of a well rounded college life you will find written the story of our struggles ; for in these pursuits we have taken no unimportant part. With especial pride we call to mind the new feeling of unity of interest and purpose that has been infused into our student life during the past four years, for here, too, ’03 has played her part well. Deeply do we regret that many who have labored most to further this spirit are not with us to receive their reward. Yet their real reward they have, already, in the grateful hearts of us all. As Seniors it has been our aim to wield the paddle with leniency, when possible, yet always with firmness: and the smoothness with which student affairs have moved along has shown the wisdom of our course. Nor is our story closed. Henceforth you shall read it more widely in the history of the Church, of Art, of Science, and of Literature. We look forward with confidence to the future Still, we should have in mind the warning of the old ballad: “ Your life is well begun ; But the game is never over Until the play is done.” Historian. 43 Members 1903 Charles L.

Underclass Contests WON BY 1905 Cane Kush The cane-rush held Saturday, Sept. 20, gave the Sophomores the first opportunity in which to vindicate their somewhat besmirched reputation. For the fifth time in the history of Hobart the Freshmen were defeated, the cane being two feet and two inches within their territory at the end of the struggle. All parties concerned worked with a will, in two cases so intense that the exhausted combatants were compelled to take a recess for air. The line-up was as follows : Freshmen Sophomores Knox (Capl.) Catlin (Capl.) J ackson Wilson Gutches Winslow Guinnip Miller Weeks Schnirel Connette Broadhurst Gould Stoughtenbuhrgh Mead Van Hoesen McCutchen Rose Referee, Simmons; Starter. Atwater; Timekeeper, Budlong; Orator, Compton. Baseball Monday afternoon, Sept. 22, the Sophomores administered a second defeat to the Fresh- men in a rather slow game of baseball. The Sophomores got the start at the beginning and kept well in the lead throughout the game. They were to have played five innings but the Freshmen gave up at the end of the fourth. Sophomores Freshmen Iladsell, Catcher, Mead Williams, Pitcher, Guinnip Summers. 1st base.

Football The football game which came off on the afternoon of Sept. 23, was somewhat in the nature of a walk-over for the Sophomores. The features of the play were touchdowns preceded by long runs made by the massive guards of the Sophomore line. The Freshmen played a plucky, steady game and never lost through “ being in the air.” The interference of the Sophomores was ed and fast on getting away.

Hollands, e ax W. N. Irish, k a H. S. Miller, 2 X The Hobart College Club was founded at the beginning of the year 1901, with the object of promoting a more general feeling of good fellowship and increasing college spirit among the students. All students in College are eligible to membership and are admitted on the payment of an initiation fee. All business and social affairs of the club are in the hands of a Board of Governors which consists of two members chosen by the neutral body and one chosen by each of the Fraternities. The club has a large, well equipped club room in Coxe Hall, where all the weekly and monthly papers are on file. Smokers are given during the year which have an aver- age attendance of seven-eighths of the entire student-body. 76 Chapel Choir A. F. Heussler, Leader J. B. Whitney, Organist A. Broadhurst G. W.

(In Pop’s Footsteps.) In Pop’s Footsteps George William Gray If you want to go to Hobart, just come along with me, By the light, by the light of the moon.’1 HE words rang out over the campus in the still April twilight, and the two singers, as they walked from Main Street down towards Medbery Hall, sharply marked time on the board walk with their feet. Their arms were linked together and their blue caps, bearing the number 1924, were pushed far back on their heads. In voice and eye and elastic step was the joy of youth and health, which in spite of cares render the college men the happiest of mortals. As they sang the last line they turned the corner of the DeLancey library and at the same moment collided rather forcibly with a man who was coming towards the street. His eyes were fastened on a book and neither he nor the two singers had been aware of each other until that moment. The book went spinning along the walk and was closely followed by the man’s hat. He himself was nearly knocked off his feet. Regaining his equilibrium, however, he turned on the two who had caused his discomfiture, his face flushed with anger. He was tall and heavily built and though his features were rather handsome, his could not be called a pleasing countenance. For a second he glared at the men, then hastily regaining his hat and book, passed on without a word, the picture of offended dignity. The two stood still and gazed after him. then the taller man turning to his companion burst into a hearty laugh. “ He’s away up, isn’t he ?” he said, “ feels downright insulted I’ll wager.” “ Like enough,” was the reply, “ such contact with the Plebeians is very humiliating to such as he,” “ Humph,” snapped the first speaker scornfully, “ a good dose of the old-fashioned hazing would do him worlds of good. Ever since he entered up last fall he has lorded it around college like a Senior. He thinks he’s the whole thing and he says and does just what he pleases. I tell you he needs to be taught his place and to be brought down from his high horse. 1 tell you, Foster, it is getting intolerable.” “ That’s true enough,” replied Poster, taking his friend’s arm and leading him down the steps, “ but I don’t see what you can do unless you pick a quarrel with this man and thrash him on your own account. Long ago the faculty passed stem decrees against any form of hazing. 111 I don't like the fellow's ways any better than you do, but I am not in favor of doing anything that would get us into serious trouble, Palmer.” “ I appreciate your position, Tom,” said Palmer. “ Your father is the dean of the college and it would put you in a bad predicament indeed if you got mixed up in such business. But as for me I am resolved to see this man Wicks hazed in spite of all that may happen in conse- quence. I am going to have him humiliated and some of this conceit taken out of him. I don’t think I shall lack men to help me do it, for our class is sore on him to a man.” He spoke quietly, but there was a determination in his face which Foster knew meant that he would do all he had promised, lie had seen the same expression in lacrosse and football games. “ Will you come up?” asked Palmer when they were before his section of Medbery, “ What are you going to do ?” I ain going to arrange for a meeting of some of the most reliable 1924 men in my room to-night. I have a first-rate plan to suggest for a little fun,” he said with a laugh. “ No, I won’t come up,” answered Foster; then he added earnestly, “ I wish you wouldn’t do this, old man. It may ruin you at Hobart.” “ Don't worry. I shall be too careful to get caught. My plan of action is sure.” The next moment he was clattering up the stairs. Foster slowly retraced his steps towards the house of the Dean, his father. His brow was clouded for he did not like the looks of things, lie feared for his friend whom he had come to love like a brother. They had been “college chums” since they had entered college, and as yet Palmer's record was in no way soiled. He knew that nothing which lie could do would per- suade Palmer to abandon his determination to haze Wicks. Palmer had fully made up his mind, having been thoroughly aroused, and it was not in him to draw back. Moreover, Foster knew that he was influential enough and eloquent enough to induce a good many of the Sopho- mores to join with him. Wicks had made himself so disliked that they would gladly humiliate him. And he knew that Palmer would devise a clever plan of action. Foster was far from being as hot-headed as his friend, but in spite of his fears for the latter, before he reached home the desire had been horn in his own heart to see what would happen. At any rate he would go down to Palmer’s room that night and hear the matter discussed. There couldn’t be any harm in that. And besides, if he went he would be able to give some good advice to his friend and the rest: he would try to induce them not to do anything rash. Yes, he would go down to the meeting; it was clearly his duty. Some time before the appointed hour a dozen Sophomores were assembled in Palmer’s room. The door was locked and the only light was that which came into the room through the glass transom from the gaslight in the hall. The men sat in a small circle speaking in whispers. Palmer had just finished relating the incident of the afternoon. It’s high time he was brought up with a round turn, fellows,” he went on. “ He’s the worst example of a lobster that has been here for years, and he’s shown what he is since the 1 1 2 first clay he was in college. But I think I see the way to take this out of him—if you fellows will help me.” “ You don’t mean to give him a taste of what hazing used to be in the good old days of Hobart’s history ?” asked Compton excitedly. “ Exactly,” said Palmer with an emphatic nod. ‘‘To be sure there are strict injunctions against such business, but what do we care ? If we can't manage so as not to be detected we are dull I must say.” “ How do you mean ?” inquired James running his fingers through his blonde hair. “ Simple enough. We have only to mask and otherwise disguise our personalities and voices.” “ Yes, but how are we going to get our man ? We can’t capture him in the face and eyes of everybody and still hope to succeed. How can we entice him away from the college?” “ That is not so hard as you think,” replied Palmer, “ I happen to know that he is going to attend an evening party out at Mrs. Van Mark’s Saturday night of this week. To get there he must pass by the woods by the cemetery. It is there we must lie in wait for him.” “ That seems fair,” admitted the convinced James, “ and once he is in our power we shall not be at loss to know what to do with him. We’ll give him a taste of what the old class of 1904 used to inflict on Freshmen when they were Sophomores, twenty years ago. I’ve heard my father tell about those days many times. The Freshmen had to step around I can tell you. They wouldn’t have done a thing to this man Wicks. Things have changed since then, I am sorry to say, but for once let history repeat itself.” “ Yes, indeed,” exclaimed Compton, “and I would move you, gentlemen, that we revive for one night the old Alpha Sigma Sigma chapter of the Royal Order of Billy Goats and that we take in one more member, this Mr. Wicks from the class of 1925. My father used to be an officer in that organization along with Mr. James’ father, and I think he'd like to hear that I was following in his steps. It is what he would call ‘college spirit.’ ” “ That’s it, Willie,” cried James, “ the Alpha Sigma Sigma with all my heart. I second your motion.” “ Those in favor rise,” said Palmer. Every man was on his feet at once. Just then footsteps sounded on the stairs, and were soon followed by a light rap at the door. “ Sh !” whispered James holding up a warning finger. Again came the rap and then a low voice called from without. “ Open up, Palmer,” “ It’s Foster!” ejaculated Palmer in astonishment. He went quickly and opened the door. “ Come in,” he whispered ; then catching sight of the other man with Foster, he frowned slightly. “ Do you want to see me, Jones ?” he asked. “ Yes. I overheard you telling James and Compton this afternoon to come here to-night, and that there was going to be some fun—some hazing in fact, in spite of the law's of the Medes and Persians. 1 want to be in it if I may. • 3 What, you ?” laughed Palmer. ' what would the village parson, your father say if he found out ?” “ 1 don't know and I don’t care. I want to see the fun if there is any. lust because my father didn’t do such things it’s no reason I shouldn't. I've got different blood in me from what he had when he was here.” “Well, if you are thus minded, come in by all means.” “ What are the plans ? asked Foster as soon as the door was again locked. Briefly Palmer outlined to the new comers all that had been suggested before their arrival. “ Of course you fellows will keep quiet about this even if you don't want to take part in it,” said James when Palmer had finished. “ For one, I am going to take part in it,” said Foster, “ I’ve had it out with myself and I find I can’t resist the temptation.” “ And so am I,” Jones said quickly, “that’s what I came here for.” “ That’s the proper college spirit,” cried Compton enthusiastically. For tire next hour every detail of the proceedings was carefully arranged so that no fatal mistakes might be made. When they were satisfied that all was said that was needed, the men rose to go. As he was unlocking the door to let them out, Palmer began to laugh softly, and turning around held up his hand. “ I say fellows,” he whispered, “ be sure to provide yourselves, every man, with a good paddle. If we are going to do as old 1904 is said to have done, we must not leave the historic O. M. A. out of the ceremonies.” “Plurrah ! O. M. A. ! O. M. A. ! and lots of it, carolled Compton, dancing gleefully about, “ my father was a stickler for O. M. A.—giving it 1 mean. He never got much of it, for when he was a freshman he said he used to go piking off every night.” “I heartily approve,” added James, “ my father too believed that to spare the paddle spoiled the freshman.” CHAPTER II Saturday evening was calm and fair. After dinner the fourteen men who were in the plot stole away from college in parties of not more than three, and for the most part in the direction of the city. Eight o’clock found them all united in the woods by the cemetery and hastily put- ting on fantastic costumes. When they had finished not one of them could have been recog- nized by even a close friend, for the disguises were perfect. “ Now fellows,” said Palmer in a low tone, 11 all we have to do is wait for him. We must keep perfectly still until he is right amongst us, then surround him before he even knows we are near him, gag and bind him, hustle hitn into the woods and you know the rest.” “ He’ll fight like the devil,” Foster said, shaking his head. Well, let him fight,” said Compton contemptuously, “how much good will that do him ? We are fourteen to one.” “ One thing we must look out for, put in James, be sure to get him when we rush out. He mustn’t get away. 114 “ Of course he mustn’t, acquiesced Palmer. We must act quickly, surely, and together. I'll whistle when he is at the right point, and you fellows act on that. “ That’s it,” said a chorus of voices. “ Now hurry and get your places. He may be coming any moment and we must be ready. Let’s go seven on one side of the road and seven on the other.” A few minutes later all was silent as the neighboring tombs. Only a faint light filtered, down through the trees from the fading western sky, and overhead the evening star was already bright. Five—ten—fifteen—twenty minutes passed. Suddenly Palmer’s straining ear caught the sound of a distant footstep. lie held his breath and not a muscle of his body even quivered. Yes, the person was coming along this road, was coming towards the woods front Geneva, and the heavy tread wfas evidently that of a man. Nearer and nearer it came until in the dim light Palmer could make out a tall figure not a hundred feet away. At a glance he recognized the figure and the manner of walking. The man was Wicks. Just then a twig snapped sharply across the road. Someone of the other men had discovered the pedestrian. “ Hst! ” warned Palmer softly, in an agony of fear lest they be suspected. When the man was directly between the two lines Palmer sprang to his feet, gave the sig- nal, and flew at Wicks like a tiger. He launched himself at the Freshman as he had learned to tackle in football, bringing him to the earth with no little force. The others also fell upon him and a short time sufficed to securely bind and gag the prisoner. Not a sound was uttered except the noise of the scuffling. Then the helpless Freshman was raised upon the shoulders of the captors, and the Sophomores filed silently and triumphantly into the w'oods towards the cemetery. Just before arriving at the clearing of the fields there was a small area where the trees grew very thickly. Here the grotesquely dressed figures stopped, and at a signal, those carrying the prisoner set him upon his feet which one of them proceeded to loosen. A man on each side held him firmly by the arms. Then half a dozen matches snapped and as many lanterns w'ere lighted, revealing to the captive the wierd shapes that surrounded him. A hill rose between them and the road they had left behind, and on all other sides there were only the cemetery and the fields. He was entirely in the power of the grotesque company and he seemed to realize it, for he made no attempt to escape but stood quietly awaiting what might happen. The body of the leader straightened. Slowly he raised his lantern at arms length until it was on a level with his eyes, then he waved it thrice around his head. The rest of the men stood perfectly still. “ Brethren, began the leader in a low growling voice, “ the hour is at hand ; the mystic rites begin.” “ ’Tis well, answered all in chorus in the same sepulchral tones. With measured step the leader now passed around the entire circle of his companions until he was face to face with Lhe Freshman. There lie halted. “Freshman,” he began, great is the honor about to be conferred upon you. In spite of your evil ways, in spite of your unseemly and unfreshmanlike conduct towards your superiors, 5 von are this night to he taken into the holy brotherhood of tire blessed,- to sit heicafiei in the golden circle of the great Alpha Sigma Sigma fraternity. We, the guardian spirits of the organization, have invited you and you have humbly accepted the invitation.” Here a smothered titter ran through the crowd. The leader stopped in his speech for a moment, but then resumed. “ Many moons have waxed and waned and many flunks have been dealt out since last we met for a similar purpose. Are you ready to begin and are you still desirous of becoming a member of the sacred order? Wicks stood gazing intently into the hideous face of the speaker, and as the last word was uttered, before his guards realized what he was about, he suddenly put forth all his strength and succeeded in wrenching his right hand free from the ropes which he had been carefully stretch, ing and working for sometime, Then he sprang quick as lightning at the leader, siezed hold of his mask, and tore it away, revealing in the light of the lanterns tin- face of Palmer. “ Ah, my friend, I thought I recognized your voice in spite of your tine acting, he said exultantly. For a moment the others stood rooted to the earth with astonishment and apprehension. One of them was known to the Freshman and it now lay in his power to amply avenge himself. I le had but to report the matter to llie dean and Palmer would be in serious trouble. And they all felt sure Wicks would do this. Then anger look the place of fear, and a tierce murmur almost of hatred went around the circle. Still nobody made a move towards Wicks who remained facing Palmer. At length the latter, with wonderful coolness, stooped and picked up the mask from the ground, and deliberately replaced it over his face. Let the ceremonies go on, spirits, ’ he commanded. The two former guards hesitated only for a moment, then stepped forward and again held tile prisoner fast by the arms. Again I ask, are you ready, Freshman? asked Palmer. Wicks laughed with fine scorn in his voice. “ I am ready, most worshipful .spir t, he said, bowing low . “ I do indeed appreciate the honor about to be conferred upon me. And 1 beg of you have no fear of my ever disclosing the secrets of the society which 1 shall learn this night. 1 pledge m3' honor that whatever may happen shall never be told. But 1 think fourteen is not enough to confer membership upon me. Let us call to your aid many times seven other spirits more wicked than yourselves. The more the merrier you know. Then he raised his voice to a higher pilch and his shrill cry rang out loud and clear through the woods. Immediately it seemed as though the cemetery was giving up its dead, for dark forms in vast numbers rose on all sides as it were from out of the earth, and began to close in on the mer. For the second time in a few moments the latter were overcome by amazement, and they could only stand and stare at the ranks of dark figures which were drawing nearer and nearer every moment. Then a shout hoarse and mighty awoke a thousand echoes in wood and field. 1 i( “ Cerebellum, hippodrome, rick-rack, rive, Hobart, Hobart, twenty-five. At that yell, Palmer started as though touched by a hot iron, and began tearing off his dis- guise. “ The Freshmen ! the Freshmen !” he cried, “ Scrap them, fellows, scrap them ! They have surrounded us and they are four to one against us, but don’t give up without a fight; let’s die game.” Then he flew at Wicks and closed with him. “ Come on, twenty-four,” yelled James in a stentorian voice, “there's diddings doing now sure enough. Get into the game, Willie Comp, and let’s show them what sort of spirit we’ve inherited from old ’04. Come on, you vile infidels 1” There was a lively scrimmage, but there was no chance for the Sophomores, and in a short space of time they were helpless in the hands of their enemies. Then Wicks confronted Palmer. “ Now we are indeed ready for the initiation to begin he said with a laugh, “before this takes place, however, may I advise that when the guardian spirits of the noble Alpha Sigma Sigma again shall sit in council, they make sure that no profane ear be nigh to hear what they devise. Now let us delay no longer.” Compton and James walked home together. When they reached Medbery James followed his friend into the latter’s room. Compton lighted his lamp, sat down deliberately and for some time silently gazed at the ceiling. At last he spoke. “ Well ? ” he said trying to keep back a smile. “In other words, just what are my feelings as to the Alpha Sigma Sigma ? At present I feel rather sore on it and the O. M. A.,” and James moved slightly in his chair. “ I think you ought to be perfectly satisfied. You have had your desire fulfilled.” James stared at Compton half in amazement, half in anger. “ What the devil do you mean ? ” he demanded, “ I think the joke is as much on you as on me.” “ I mean what I say. You were anxious to see history repeat itself; you wanted to follow in your father’s footsteps and to go through one of his experiences. Ye gods ! haven’t you done it ? Why, my boy, your ‘Pop’ ought to be proud of you.” As Ithcrs See Us (A Burlesque in Three Acts) “O ! Wail some powei tile gillie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us.

Miss L.: It’s time someone was appreciating the gravity of—at least—the danger of the situation. I will never marry. Heaven knows I cannot descend to that. But Johanna—our dear little Johanna ! Mrs. D.: Oh, something ’ll turn up for her. Miss L.: Oh, yes. Something will turn up! Does anything ever turn up in Geneva ? Does anything break the sacred quiet of life here ? No. And anyway we wouldn't discern a marriageable man here if we scanned the matrimonial horizon all day with a spy-glass. Mrs. D.: What I What 11 The idea 1 That we should do such a thing !

But that is to say—at least—men in Geneva never do things except when they have to. They must be forcibly dragged into work or being sociable or, yes, into being married. Mother, we must find a man for Johanna. Mrs. D.: Cornel Come I Don’t worry. I don’t worry except about my health, don't you. Miss L.: And I tell you we must worry I And shall Johanna get left ? And shall Johanna get left ? No, on the whole, while I am here, Johanna shall not get left! Mother, since no suitor has claimed her lily white hand, why, we’ll find one. The Bible says •' Go into the Highways and Byways,” or, at least, words to about that effect. And I’m going.— Mrs. D.: Hush, here comes the dear child I {Enter Johanna arrayed in a tasteful green and yellow dress, sucking a stick of peppermint.) Mrs. D.: Come here, my dear child. Ah, see the appetite it has. Just see 1 Miss J. (slowly turning her large blue eyes upon her mother) : I’m not quite so omnivorous as it may appear. This peppermint is, however, in a high degree, delectable. Mrs. D. {clasping her hands in ecstasy): Just listen to the talk of it! so brilliant I so distinguished I Miss J.: I am glad to perceive such evidences of your discernment, mother dear. Miss L. {solemnly): Johanna, your mother and 1 have just decided that you must marry. Miss J.: Is that a threat ? I object to marrying. Children are such an inconvenience! And I couldn’t find anyone for a husband so clever as I am, anyway I H9 Miss L. : Why, I he idea! that you shouldn't marry! Isn't it proper? Of course you will many! You're very headstrong. on (email) here and be a good girl until we return. Come, mother. (Exeitnt in center) Johanna (looks about quickly) : Hist, come on. The old hens have gone. Micky Finn (emerging with shaking limbs from the shelter of the curtains.) Micky (drops into a chair): Oh, 1 was never so frightened in my life. I really can't comb down my hair; it still bristles with fear. J.: Poor dear. Don’t worry, it always bristles anyhow. Micky : And to think of it! You are to be married ! J.: Darling! Micky: Dearest! ( They fall into one another s arms.] Micky: And in another month we should have packed our lunch into Uneeda Biscuit boxes and fled far from the raging payrent. (Gulp.) |.: What are we to do? I have it. We’ll elope. In a moment we shall be gone. Micky: Elope! Oh, I'm afraid. And is it proper ? Is it nice? J. : Oh, come, don’t be gratuitously formal. Would you let a social solecism stand between you and your love? Micky: Really I don't think it's proper. It isn’t at all nice. And I’m sure no gentle- man would do it. But—-come on. J. (As they vanish): Really, you're the nicest red-head I ever—(Exeunt in center. Mrs. Du fee and Miss Larina rush in excitedly from left.) Miss L.: Oh, he’ll be here soon. I’m sure you’ll like him. So entertaining and yet so polite and sensible. Just the man for Johanna. Mrs. D.: Ah, here he comes. (A terrific clatter from behind the scenes. At length in gallops Gilly on a hobby-horse.) Gili.y: Get up, Lavoisier. Whoa-Whoa—My, I can hardly curb in my intractable steed. There ! horsey, there ! Oh ! How do you do, Mrs. DulTee I So pleased to see you ! ( Gallops over to Mrs. D. Lie is clad in knee-pants and a lace-collared waist.) G.: And this is your mother. Delighted. Really, you're such nice people. A trifle old of course. But five or six years older or not when one gets as old as you doesn't make any difference-Eh-Eh. Miss L. (looks daggers): This is the young man I wished Johanna to meet. Mrs. D.: Well, where were you brought up, young man ? G. : Oh, I guess I’m a down-east yankee. Although I haven’t much of their gall, you know. Say, maybe you won’t believe it. It hardly shows in my manner. But really—I’m a physicist. Mrs. D.: A physicist? I id Miss L.: A physicist? G.: Yes, of course. It’s merely my vocation, though, I was designed for social triumphs, don’t ye know. With my admirable savoir-faire and sang-froid and my small-talk—ah, you should hear the tinkle-tinkle-tunk of my small-talk. With these I could do most anything in the social line. Whoa, horsey. A very fractious beast, very. Miss L.: Ah, I see he is. G.: I call him Lavoisier, after an old colleague of mine. But, oh, 1 have so many quali- fications for social brilliancy. So gay and cheerful, don’t ye know. Really 1 am always bub- bling over with youthfulness and apt remarks. Sometimes I say to myself, “ Gilly, how does it happen that you are so charming, such a loadstone for the ladies, ye know.” And I say to my- self “ You must really have drunk from the Fountain of Everlasting Youth,” don’t you think so Miss Duffee ? Miss D.: Hm ! 1 suppose that means that you’ll never get over being a kid. G.: Er, yes, yes. May we never grow old. And if I should marry your sister, as I may very likely consent to do, why don’t ye know, my cheerful air of youthfulness will be the more pleasant in contrast with your age. ( With a gurgle of silvery laughter.) Miss L. (Jo Mrs. D): He’s very bad, but he’s a marriageable man. And we don’t know when another suitor will appear. Mrs. D.: Well, for Heaven’s sake, let’s gobble him, then I Mrs. D. (to Gilly): Come here, and sit upon my knee, little boy. G.: Little boy ? Why, 1 ’m a physicist, a physicist, a physicist I Mrs. D.: Oh, you’ll get over that in this town pretty soon. But, tell me. How should you like to marry my sweet little daughter. G.: Oh, that little girl I play with in the comer? Really, 1 shouldn’t mind. Of course her social position must be all right. That comes first. But if that’s assured I shouldn’t mind condescending. Mrs. D. (with a wave of the hand): There are the very old shoes and socks over the mantle-piece that our paternal ancestor wore at the Court of King James. G.: Oh! oh! Mrs. D.: Yes, indeed. And we, you know, are directly descended from the Royal Scrubber Down of the Back Stairs to His Majesty, King Willy. G.: You don’t say 1 Can that be possible ! Well, hm ! I guess I’ll take the rest on trust. Bring in the lady. (Murmurs) The very old shoes and socks 1 Directly descended! Mrs. D. (in a fierce whisper)'. Call Johanna and have hirn cinched before he gets away. Miss L. (calling): Johanna. Oh, Johanna. G.: Gods! Must 1 live with that name. Ah, but those ancestral socks. Directly descended. Royal Scrubber down— Miss L.: What, Johanna not here ? Mother, summon the retinue and inquire the cause. Mrs. D.: Sims I Walker 1 Katie 1 Susie !

But Fin Awken—Eh—She’s eloped, Missus. Mrs. I).: Eloped ? Cook : Ves’m. She’s eloped with the young red-head around the corner. 'En if 1 kin lay my hands on the same'— Miss L.: Oh, Johanna ! Eloped ! The ruin of my fondest hopes ! Mrs. D,: My little darling! Ah, alas! Johanna! (They fall into chairs. The cook attempts to revive them.) Gilly : Wha-a-at. Can’t 1 be directly descended—Oh—now—now ! Oh, those ancestral socks. (Bursts into tears. With trembling knees.) I’m a physicist—a physicist—a physicist. (Curtain.) ACT II The Eden Musee. A stage. Clouds of diaphanous purple, gold, pink, vermilion a la Darling of the Gods; among which undulate and trip the light fantastic toe Drs. Moody, Vail and Durfee. They are attired in the conventional ballet-dancer’s costume which becomes them exceedingly. Their figures are wonderfully good ; on their corsets are displayed signs “ This cast Iron Corset guaranteed to stand a strain of 5,900 lbs. per square inch.” Ballet-music from a hidden orchestra. Barker (at right): Come right along ladies and gentlemen. The big show has now opened. A continuous performance for the small price of twenty-five. Twenty-five, ladies and gentlemen.

(Both rush to the rail before stage.) J.: Well, wouldn't you leave your happy home for that ? Now, Micky! Micky : Naughty, Naughty. But my, oh, my those legs. J.; What do you think of that cute little thing in the center (points to Moody). Talk about— Micky: Naughty, Naughty. Oh, my, Johanna ! -Shocking, Shocking.

Micky : See here. You ought to let me do that! Stop, Oh ! Naughty, Naughty. 1 a ( With another change in the music a great clickety-clack ensues on the stage. Moody labors along bathed in perspiration ; Durf dances with admirable ease and industry ; Charley with grace, a hop-skip-jump and an expansive smile. (Enter Gi ly at right on his hobby horse. Gallops up to Micky.) G.: Ahem, Ahem. Well—See here, Sir, you don’t seem to know who I am. Maybe you won't believe it but I am a physicist—a physicist. Micky : Huh! Well. Maybe you won't believe it, but you act like a chump. G.: He, He 1 Well, my hair isn’t red like an old brick. Micky : Is that so. Well, see here, now, you’re going too far, you are. I may be the newest kid in the block but I'm not going to be snubbed by a physicist, a mere artisan like you. You needn’t think you can make me go down town for all your crackers and cheese, and get your mail every day, and—Well, I’m no one’s errand boy. So now. Johanna : I must say. Micky that this rebellion against all established custom is, to say the least, gratuitous. Micky : And now you side in with him. Well, go on, 1 don’t care ! Be just as mean as you please!

Oh, of course you’re both just as clever as you can be. Wash your dishes ! Black your shoes ! Well, what do you think— (This quarreling is put an end. to by the entrance of a trim little man—the curtain has fallen on the ballet—who steps before a mirror and spends ten minutes brushing off his coat, adjusting his tie, etc.) John Archer (murmursto himself): That tailor must really put a little more padding in my shoulders. I’m losing my figure completely (turns to audience) John Archer—Ahem. Before lecturing in detail upon my bureau of curiosities I should like to say a few words of a general nature. These prize exhibits, gentlemen, were obtained from all quarters of the country at great cost to ourselves. New York contributes several with the finish of metropolitan life still bright and shining upon them; Boston contributes one or two, to give unto us English as she should be spoke; even Nova Scotia has here a representative of her haggard shores. They are a representative and, I might also say, a most ease-loving body. They toil not, neither do '23 they spin anything except yarns at the club, yet Solomon in all his glory—as you will agree when you have seen one of them, whose snowy mustaches are continuous advertisements for Williams' Hair Tonic—Solomon in all his glory is not arrayed as that one, at least, of these. And I may say, gentlemen, in raising the curtain that we have a most interesting lecture before us. Please be careful today now, not to go to sleep, you young gentlemen ! (Curtain rises disclosing seated in chairs certain familiar figures. Over the chairs are signs hearing the legends. Wild Man from Borneo; The Bearded Lady ; The Is It What Is It.) John Archer (halting before, the Wild Man)-. This is a comparatively mild specimen of the homo barbarus. He was found blissfully roaming the thickets of his Bornean Cambridge. His strange silkiness of manner is a peculiarity very pleasing to the ladies. He had a very queer mania, however, he loved to collect live flies and spiders, and then to kill them one by one alive, just to see ’em wriggle. Whether or not this has aggravated or extended itself to his rela- tions with his underlings, I can’t say. But I’ve heard that he loves to practice the same thing on men who can’t hit back, just to see ’em wriggle. His last peculiarity is his smile. The mag- ical formula—How-Do-You-Do-Doctor ? causes this strange animal to smile. If the audience is subject to the jim-jams, please look away—now! (A shudder runs through the audience, one -woman screaming “ Eyah, the vc-e-ry pitcher o' me black billy goat. ) John Archer (moving on to The Bearded Lady) : This exhibit, whom we about the insti- tution familiarly address as Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, has been procured for us through the munificence of Mr. Jones of this city. He is a very rare animal and although he never goes on a skate, is continually seeing stars—Ahem. The subject will speak. Bearded Lady (in a sepulchral voice)-. Twinkle, twinkle little star 1 How I wonder where you are! If humble Me could find you out Another medal would shine on my coat. So twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder where you are— John Archer (before the Is It What Is it): This picturesque specimen is even more picturesque when dressed in scantier clothing. Once upon a time he went bathing, in a modest costume. He was immediately arrested, the policeman explaining that a man with his beard and legs must certainly be either a lunatic or a burglar. The exhibit is also very spry at the business of being his own advertising manager. Some lime ago tire exhibit heard a rumor that a Society of the main guys in his push was going to be founded. Now the exhibit is just great on being a notability, you know. So. for a moment all you could see was a cloud of dust racing for a train. And when the Society was founded you bet little Jimmie was right on the spot. They couldn’t lose little Jimmie, No! Sir ! not on your chestnut goatee, you couldn’t. The exhibit, 1 may say in passing, preaches for a living, teaches for a diversion, and writes 124 books for a reputation. He spreads himself up here to show 11s how a great man really looks. Some day he will be famous. John Archer (as the small curtain goes down) : i have lectured on only a few of our curiosities in my bureau, gentlemen. The others are quite as peculiar. But the strain of merely occupying chairs in such an institution is so great that in order to till them one day, they must rest up for three or four days at the Club. You will have an opportunity of seeing the rest at any regular exhibition of the bureau. (Exit John Archer with a trim little bowl) Barker : The big show now over. All out, ladies and gentlemen. Miss Lavina Dufkf.e (screaming) : Oh, let me in, I see that sister of mine. And that nasty little red head, just wait. Let me in, I say. (Struggles with the barker. Then rushes on the stage.

I simply determined to do it, so of course it came about. Nothing at all for me to do, nothing at all. (Afiss Lavina smiles a gentle self-satisfied smile.)

(Curtain, j i 26 The Evil That Men Do There was little to distinguish him from the hundred and one other alumni who turn up at college during the year. He wore glasses and had the air of a graduate, which in some subtle way seems to drop over and envelop a man when at commencement he shuffles off the coil of undergraduate appearances. As he stood in chapel this autumn morning the undergraduates, who usually picture an alumnus on somewhat the same scale as do prep, school youngsters in their dreams of real live college men, decided that he was too small and rather too stoop-shoul- dered to be regarded as a representative alumnus. Only a few of them knew him. He had been a fair baseball player and a “ math ” man above the average and had been graduated quite creditably, but in no line of college activity had his fame been of the kind that gets handed down. Men yawned prodigiously from timeto time and regretted that over-cutting in chapel had forced them to a quarter-hour’s loss of sleep. The Alumnus however, was neither tired nor sleepy, He critically eyed the Seniors and Juniors, products of two and three years’ “ busting out,” the Sophomores, who looked pityingly at the Freshmen and inwardly quaked at the Fresh- men’s crude strength, and finally his gaze rested on the incoming class. Still accustomed to early hours they were out in full force. The Alumnus grinned as the remembrance came to him of days gone by. At that time they used to sing the Betiedicite. and cast chilling glances at the Freshmen when in strong Gregorian discord the choir feelingly alluded to “ all ye green things upon the earth.” On the preceding evening he had talked about the good old days when doors were used for kindling wood and when the O. M. A., though lacking a name, was vigorous in function. He wished that he was again a Junior with full leave to paddle and no danger of Freshman vengeance, for be it remembered he had played baseball and not football. Again he grinned at the Freshmen and then looked hard at the Dean. Would that absent-minded man with the towsled hair object to a little hazing ? His trousers bagged too much at the knees, said the Alumnus, who you see had not taken character reading along with his Latin. And yet silence was golden and it wasn’t necessary to haze with a brass band. The Alumnus smiled a third time and walked out behind the Freshman profs. At the bulletin tree he stopped through sheer force of habit and a Herald reporter got his name and class for the monthly alumni column. Then an eager hand grasped his own and he recognized a man whom he had sent to college. The man’s cap bore the Sophomore numerals and his breast a football “ H.” The Alumnus perceived that the gods of mischief had been kind. He needed a business manager and someone to incur responsibility. “ I have a class now,” the man with the “H ” was saying, “but I shall be delighted to have you come to my room this even- ing.” He hurried away and left the Alumnus thinking. 127 That evening in the Sophomore's room the Alumnus sat in the big Morris chair, his feet on the desk; the Sophomore was on the divan. “How are the classes this year?” “ About equally matched,” said the Sophomore, we had some tough scraps. J guess it used to be fierce in your day when everybody punched as hard as they could. There don’t seem to be so much ugliness nowadays. We don’t paddle as much as you used to, either. It’s getting to be a disciplinary measure.’’ Shades of Draco! The Alumnus could hear the body of dead college spirit turning in its coffin. Then the feeling of reform surged in his soul and the eloquence of a Macaulay rose to his lips. He noticed that the New Thought had not yet worm-eaten the Sophomore’s respect for upperclassmen and alumni. “ Your class rivalry seems to possess all the acerbity of competing pumpkin exhibitors at a county fair. He came down to business. •• I want to have some fun and I want you to get up a spanking party for these d-d Freshmen. The Sophomore reflected that the adjective in this connection had become obsolete except in jest and the bitter controversies arising from banner scraps. All right, said he, wait here.” In the course of a half-hour he appeared with sonte half dozen classmates in big sweaters and with interested faces. A few upperclassmen also turned up, They politely greeted the Alumnus who hailed them gaily and begged to be led to the Freshman habitat. Then they all went down the hall. To the surprise of the Alumnus the Sophomore knocked and they entered a room where some six or eight men, evidently underclassmen, were chaffing each other about the banner scrap to come. “ Have a chair, said the owner of the room. But his manners might have rivalled a Chesterfield’s without attracting attention. You Freshmen line up pretty all-fired quick and one of you get a bed-slat.” They obeyed like machines. Latter day Freshmen are wise, for the prep, schools remove much that is green. Just like old times,” carolled the Alumnus. I’ll bet that hurt, as the window panes vibrated sympathetically. “ Now warble,” and the Freshmen struck up a popular song. “ They’re pretty green and should learn to take good care of their rooms.” The water pitcher described an aqueous parabola and landed in the bed, bric-a-brac and hangings sought the lowest level and the lamp went out. The Alumnus departed singing, Art thou weary, are thou sore distressed. Arrived at the Sophomore’s room he remarked. What this college wants is spirit. Those freshies acted as if they knew they’d get off pretty quick. When 1 was here we used to give it to them. Sometimes they would fight. They lived to repent it. Don’t you think you are a little slow ?” If he expected an answer he received none. His auditors seemed all desirous of hearing him talk. Chapel was quite full the next morning. The Alumnus noticed that he was being watched. He thought there was some hope yet if the institution manifested a proper interest in alumni 128 and he felt for the first time maybe that he was quite important. He did not stop to analyze the reasons for this importance. During the day he met a number of men all of whom treated him with the greatest respect but were quite a way from being congenial. He left on the even- ing train and made up his mind before many miles had passed that his old Alma Mater had greatly changed. So much for the Alumnus. We will not mention him hereafter. Seniors and Juniors are not quarrelsome. Their dignity contravenes. But they are always looking for trouble between underclassmen, and if most underclass broils were sifted some smil- ing third or fourth year’s man would appear at the bottom. Under the auspices of a certain graduate sundry freshmen had been paddled by sophomores. Almost a day had passed and nothing had been done. The juniors guyed the freshmen and the seniors told the sophomores that nothing could be feared from those not yet out of Froebel’s methods. A word to the freshman is sufficient. That night the Sophomore was leaning out of his window and watching a freight crawl down the Lehigh. He wondered if the congregation of naughty men personified by Freshmen were after his soul. He really could not blame them. Two rods away a Geneva bus, whose approach is like much crockery in process of demolition, rolled up the street. The Sophomore roomed in Trinity Hall, and in front the bus stopped. He was surprised to see it draw up par- allel to and not against the curb. He took out his pipe and watched it. A solitary Junior got out and paid the bus man. Nothing peculiar in that. Then there was a rush of feet, the Sopho- more turned and saw his room and class-mate pinned to the floor and his own legs in the pos- session of a freshman, the 'Varsity centre. In the next few seconds he showed that his “ H ” stood for something; the bric-a-brac was devoted to college spirit and Mosaic darkness followed the smashing of the lamp. Kicking he yelled like Achilles at the trench but the Myrmidons didn’t materialize. Oh no, when an insulted freshman class gets on the rampage, slide down the rain water pipes, sneak down Pulteney Street and get organized. That was what the sopho- mores did. “ Help, help,” yelled the Sophomore, “ninety—ninety—.” The freshmen were not indulging in class yells. Instead there were low orders. “Grab his legs. Come in on his head.” Then he was carried into the bus where he jerked free and with a few last yells kicked the window panes to bits. After which he was gagged and tied and shoved into a corner for safe keeping. The bus hurried out Main Street as fast as its emaciated cobs could drag it. “ Well, how do you like it ? ” cooed a freshman. He was not looking for an answer and the acid in his tone suggested a warm base beneath. Him first had the bed-slat smote. He blew smoke in the captive’s face, offered him chewing gum and asked him whether he preferred a straight or a curb bit. The Sophomore sat sternly erect, he could say nothing, but the eyes of Uncas at the stake possessed not half the disdain. That bus probably went to the south end of the lake, forty miles away. So it seemed to the Sophomore. Finally out in the country where only the lights from two distant farm houses were seen he was taken out and the cords on his wrists cut, after which the bus departed. He 129 • . . . asked him whether he preferred a straight or a curb bit.’ first got the gag out, and with both hands shoved his face to its normal position. Then he untied his legs and took a long, yes a very long stretch, for his feet were both asleep and hav- ing violent nightmares. The north star blazed bright above and he started for it. About a third of the freshmen were in the caravan that escorted our Sophomore. The remaining four-sixths removed to the nearest elsewhere. The boat house proved a house of refuge for many, some found a sanctuary in upperclassmen’s closets and others clasped the altar’s horns at the Lehigh station. When the sophomores showed up freshmen were no longer on the market. The bulls had the upper hand. The upperclassmen with pajama col- lars showing from their mackintoshes swaggered around and smoked great pipes the while they told the sophomores that, “ Something ought to be done. You people will be guyed unmercifully. The juniors will have you well remembered in the Echo. You’re marks. Our class never had anything like this happen to it.” There was only one thing to be done and it was done—to the queen’s taste. The fresh- man rooms were “ stacked. You may think that “ stack ” means to so arrange things in a room that nothing can be found. This is a fallacy. They can be easily found, for everything is on top and on the bottom too, to say nothing of the middle, and the state of mixupness is so com- plete that extrication of any one object involves the dislocation of every element in the debris. •’ Stacking ” is certainly a science, to define it as an art may be open to question. The rooms having been put in order the sophomores sat down to a waiting game, hoping against hope that a long chase might yet be a stem chase with a freshman in the objective. But in spite of counterfeit calls and feigned cries for help from dying comrades, the freshmen where not to be inveigled. Why should they go near College ? Neither chapel nor recitations were on and one’s experience is deepened by sleeping on the hard planks in the boat house floor, lulled to sleep by the wish-wash of the Seneca, and roused from hysterical dreams by the snort of engines passing near on the Fall Brook tracks. Again in chapel. There is full attendance on this morning. The freshmen look tired but happy. No stain on the fair escutcheon of their class. The sophomores look happy but tired. Never shall leaden insult weigh down the wings of their soaring and victorious eagle. The Dean regards them as usual and as usual turns his back on the altar during the Credo. The upperclassmen feel that college is not yet defunct, and that even if everybody goes to sleep in classes the traditional manes have still been satisfied. At last service is done, all go out and another incident of college life is closed. Freshman Laboratory Rules i The session opens promptly after lunch. If lunch has not been digested do not attempt to do this during the session, as all the time is required for other experiments. II When calling for hydrolriarnidodimethylphenolacridine” at supply room kindly speak in short hand. III The hoods are nol to be worn. They should only be used to swear under. IV Dishes positively cannot be broken until they are paid for. V Should any students find it necessary to copy up experiments without performing them, they should never copy from books of men who have a graft with the department, as their books are approved without being looked over. VI Students are not allowed to use for drinking purposes the methyl alcohol instead of the ethyl alcohol. For the first offense the student is liable to be suspended, while continual offenders are sure to be dropped from the department. VII Students must take special pains to see that the refuse jars are not soiled as long as there is plenty of room on the floor. If the students will cooperate with the department in this respect the jars may be kept presentable. Apply to head of depan menl for names. The Practical Lover 1 did not purchase for my bride Rich jewelled rings and costly fans But what I thought would be her pride— A set complete of pots and pans. 1 did not give her rubies red, To lend her raven hair relief ; But what would charm when we were wed— A good supply of potted beef. 1 did nol wanton with her love, That pined to nestle on my breast, Just like a drooping tired dove, But sent a couch where it could rest. And so at last our little store Would furnish well an ivied cot; But then—I should have said before— She jilted me, and kept the lot. 32 Grinds If in this lot of foolish stuff We’ve hit at you. among the rest, Why Heavens! man, don’t think it tough.

Bent on reading, digesting all; Not the smallest fact would ever he lose From Grecian verbs to campus news. But from these facts grow monstrous wise. And under learning great, disguise Those speeches wherein freshness lies. Alas! one day he met his fall When in Room 8, Geneva Hall, He saw a paddle which many had felt. And on it three letters thoughtfully spelt: A. M. O. I love, they mean— A boatman’s trophy, ’tis I ween.” But soon by force he changed his mind, When midnight Sophs helped him to find, He’d read the letters wrong side behind. ‘37 Cook’s Tours Personally Conducted Through Hobart and Its Vicinity Scene is on Seneca Lake: time is afternoon in October, 1902. Gondola just emerging from Canal de La Cayuga. Malt house du N'ester on the left. A boat containing six people including the guide, a tall slim Junior, anil McCutchen, the latter talking volubly but no one paying the least attention (as usual) to his wind-jamming propensities, his presence being explained by the presence of four large valises (to carry). Gondolier Mead, Leffingwell having failed to qualify because length of nose interfered with proper manipulation of the oar. Guide : You notice this long building on the left. This is the Nester malt house built in the time of the Stuarts. The farther end of it got on fire once and threatened to destroy the whole building. But despite the desperate efforts of the Geneva fire department the fire went out just as Ike Covill was composing his famous Owed to the Laundryman, on the top of a box car across the canal. We now enter the Bay de Geneva, by many thought superior to the Bay of Naples. The lighthouse as you notice is rather weatherworn. That terrace on the bank yonder is one of Geneva's beautiful features. Right ahead is the Hobart College boathouse. Steady Charon ! (to the gondolierj. There, at last, we are on Hobart soil I Run up and get the key, you son of Beelzebub. This, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the pleasant tilings about boating at Hobart. We shall probably get the key just before dark, probably not. Here are, as you see, beautiful shells. Ah, one is missing. Possibly the crew is out. Yes, here he is just coming around the point of Glass Factory Bay. Our crew hs a German. Please do not show that you notice his accent for he is exceedingly sensitive about his nationality. A steam shell ? Oh no. That is the crew enjoying a smoke. lie has found someone’s tobacco and is enjoying a change from his four pounds for a quarter clover head, dockseed Puke mixture, that he usu- ally smokes. He is an author by the way. quite a genius. His first work entitled “ Hulda in Love, or the Fat Boy's Sweetheart had an extensive sale, one copy being sold in Boston, two in Chicago, and Doup gave three copies to some friends of his in Papillion, Nebraska. Doup never goes any farther west now than Indiana. Some say he is taking a course there in a State Normal school. ur coach? Oh. Schumann acted as coach for one season. He swore at the crew so much that he was asked to get in and row. He got into the shell, when he was seized with one of his Tdl-how-it-is-done fits and forgot to keep his oar in the water. They fished him out near that second boathouse. He was still murmuring in semi-consciousness, directions for rowing a shell. We will follow this path up the bluff. It leads to the Acropolis. Up this path '04 made its first charge, a victorious one. You see there are but two steps left out of the original dozen. This house on the right is the seat of Attic Supremacy, They say that Odysses was driven across the Atlantic and wandered up the St. Lawrence, stopping here to offer a bull to Jupiter. That gray bearded man on the veranda ? Oh that is “ Smallus Makonius ” a direct descend- ant of Menelaus on his mother’s side; his father was Agememnon’s cousin Gyphletus. Mak. onius is one of our Triumviri, a polished gentleman, who knows when a fellow is down and tries at once to lift him up. A man of excellent judgment, although somewhat conservative in regard to the scientific tendencies of the modern college, he is highly respected by all who know him. That drab colored house next door is the home of our Dean. You can see him now in the garden trying to make out Ryan’s last chapel report. His specialty is mathematics. He refuses to touch a problem now unless all the parts are unknown. He has been likened to a bar- rel of facts with the fact that he wants always floating on top. Doup tried to stick him one day by giving him the rate of speed of a steamer, and the number of pounds of coal consumed per hour; required the depth of water in the lake. Durf floored him on the spot with the answer correct to nine decimal places. He was explaining the amount of vibration of the smoke-stack when Bill fainted. Let us cross the Via Maxima. Here is the chapel presided over by Dr. Leighton under the direct supervision of Father Steve. Ah! Here comes Steve now. Hail Pater, Hail 1 Thy blessing, we beseech thee. Steve : Mecum tecum filium, Benedicite, ne plus ultra. Guide : Amen! Pater, how fares thy arch enemy, “ Bill Walker ?” Steve :--------! 1 ! ! Let us leave him, ladies and gentlemen, before he begins his proof that the Aborigines of Tierra del Fuego used candles on the altar prior to the year 3000, B. C., and wore burretas (?) of brown silk with green facings, as proved by clay tablets describing the battle of Nineveh, 7000 B. C., found on a promontory of Greenland by the Peary Polar expedition while they were out bear hunting. Our beautiful library presented to us by the Demarest family of Buffalo ! The Librarian, Mr. Kettle (Jimmy), and his assistant Professor Chas. Vail are within. This large room is the cosiest reading room in the State. Those marks on the shelves ? No! They are not hiero- glyphics. That is where Jimmy touched the shelf when he dusted this morning. You see there are in each of the twelve alcoves below six sections and each section has six shelves. Now Jimmy is a mathematician. He took Durf’s course in Analytica. He figured that if he touched one shelf in each section each of the six days of a week, there being twice six alcoves and six sections each containing six shelves he would give the appearance of dusting every day but in reality only once in six weeks. Jimmy says six is a lucky number. He and McHenry raced in dusting the large room. Jimmy’s record was two minutes and fifty-four seconds, Mac’s was three minutes. Jimmy beat by six seconds. But we must hasten. This room is the office of Charley, the happiest man in college. 1 wish you could see Charley. At present he is out on the trail playing Old Sleuth. He isdeter- '39 mined to find out what Bob Summers does with the magazines from the reading room. We may meet him later in the day. Take this iron stairway elevator down to the Seminaria. This is the historical Seminarium where Johnny Silver airs his views on religion and clergymen. Here is Turk’s English dissecting room. This wall here with a large iron door encloses the fire- proof room for the archives of the college and the works of Bocaccio. No one is allowed to read them but Professor Vail and Jimmy. You see our old assembly room here. Time is flying, however, so we will pass out to Medbery Hall. A lunatic ? Yes. He paints that end of Medbery with red and traces a big black C on it. As soon as he has completed it he repaints with red again. He came herewith the firm opinion that every man here is honest so long as he is closely watched. He put all men on that footing despite the honor system and has succeeded in discouraging more honorable, earnest men than all the rest of the faculty can graduate. When it came to naming the sections of Medbery Hall he wanted to change the A, B, C, D, E, system to C,, C,, C}, etc. The failure of the faculty to agree with him drove him mad. To please him they chained him to Gilbert’s radiator, furnished him with brushes and paint and you see the result. Day and night his ceaseless task goes on. Pelted by the pitiless storms, drenched by the chilling rains he paints with fearful energy the only letter with which he is familiar. For him college has no sunshine. We speak in all charity. Poor misguided wretch ! Ought to trim his whiskers ? I should say so. Aha! Here comes Charley. Did you ever see more sunshine to the square rod than in that man. Thank God for our Charley, and Durf, Little Mack and the “ boys ” on the faculty. That noise ? Oh, that is Regan, Muiry and Gilbert playing penny ante up in Muiry’s room. They’re splendid fellows. Everyone of them is O. K. They say Muiry won fifty cents at cards last night. The way we found out was when Gilbert tried to borrow a quarter of John Whitney to settle half the account. John started to tell how we lost the Hamilton game and G—missed two lectures. John had only then gotten to the first signal. G—is going back to hear the rest of it during the Christmas vacation. But we are delaying. It’s getting dark. As soon as it is absolutely dark Patrick will put the lights out. I am sorry we cannot take you further, but here is your gondola a short walk back. Be careful that you do not slip down the bank. Charon, be sure that you strike the Canal de Cayuga at the Fall Brook station 1 Beelzebub, bring those valises ! Good-bye, ladies and gentlemen !

Manning {letting lower lip fall so as to show teeth, and rolling his eyes) -. I am very sorry to say, Mr. Pliny, er that your mark is C. Pliny {indignantly) : C, sir ? Manning {gleefully)-. Yes. You see, Mr. Pliny, you have the habit in your letters of using “quantopere” where Cicero would use “aliquanto.” That is very serious; you must pay more attention to Cicero’s style. Pliny {at white heat) -. To Hell with Cicero and you too ! Manning {seizingpencil)-. Ah, what case would Hell be in in that sentence, Mr. Pliny? {Exit Pliny.) Manning {turning to Catullus, Virgil and Horace) : Gentlemen, the mark is the same for you all. It is F on the term’s work and F- on the examination. You have all developed the very bad tendency of writing your verses a little too far above or below the blue lines on the theme paper. 4' Virgil: I didn’t think that was a serious fault that would flunk me out, although of course it. would hinder me from getting honors. Manning : Yes, exactly. Horace : Doc, you are a lobster. Manning: An ingenious supposition but unfortunately entirely incorrect. Virgil: And are these marks to stand ? Manning : I don’t see how I can change them. Catullus : Come on fellows, let’s go over in my room and play ping pong and have a cigarette.

By Gordon Douglas Hoxsey Outside the columns of the Ladies’ Home Journal it would be hard to lind a better example of literary breakfast food. The author calls our attention to the fact that love is “ wrapped in the obmutescence of patristic surility.” It is trashy but makes a good substitute for solitaire. It undoubtedly will have a large sale at the Annex. (Warren Co.. $1.50.) Is Marriage a Failure? ....... By Jay Gould After the quantities of twaddling which have been written upon this subject by writers drawing upon the inexhaustible fund of their own ignorance, it is a pleasure and a relief to read a serious book upon this subject by a competent critic. This volume deserves a place in ever)’ man’s library. (Lord Co., S1.50.) The Uselessness of Lahor, ...... By Ike Covill The author claims to lead his readers by a royal road to accomplishment without labor. As a matter of fact Mr. Covill takes the phenomena of auto-suggestion, clothes them in a hazy meta- physical vocabulary of his own and parades them as a universal substitute for hard work. The author, however, does not appear to us to be consistent with his teaching, for it was with great labor that we waded through the five hundred pages of this work. Literary merit or ability to amuse, it has none. A good index makes all the matter easily accessible. (Whitney Son, $3.00.) Eiri (us To IloXii Oh it’s “ on the whole and ‘‘on the whole,” That every prof, does say, And each one uses l-on the whole ” A thousand times a day. Ves, “ on the whole ” MacDaniels says. He said it first we know. But, “ on the whole,” in many ways Milt. Turk hits hardest blow. For “ on the whole ’’ is his best friend To limit or enlarge, And “ on the whole ” his word does lend To every varied charge. And Muirheid too, a younger hand, And “on the whole” quite square, Now shows that he has got the sand To our disfavor dare. The others use it now and then, Though they give us a rest By substituting from their pen Some phrases they like best. Now, gentlemen of the faculty, Without desire to hurt Your feelings tender, let me be So bold as to assert That we are getting a bit tired Of “ on the whole ” so oft Repeated from your tongues inspired To speak in words more soft. I trust that by this word so bold Your minds IT: not amaze, But please your purpose soon unfold To discard that old phrase. 146 A Fable By George Aided Once upon a Time there was a great Scratching Around for a Cinch Course. All the Know- ing Ones who had been Busted out of Iiellmer's Course needed some more Hours. Of course in all Colleges One needs a lot of Hours for Eating and Drinking and a few for Sleeping. Some people need Hours to Study in, but that only Occurs in 111 Regulated Colleges. One Guy got Wise to a French Course and put All of his Pals Next. When the Day and Hour arrived for the Cinch Course, there was a great gathering of the Last Tribes of Israel and Bustouts. The Sachem of this Motley Array was a Freshie Prof, who Knew a Lot. The Hoipoloi of the Class considered that it was Up to Them to put It on the Bum, but it was No Go. The Main Gazabo separated the Sheep from the Goats and held an Examination to see How many he could Peg. Only the Knowing Ones who Knew they Couldn’t pass, stayed Away from the Exam, and the Rest got Through. Nobody was Pegged. When his Fellow Sufferer who is a Sophie Prof, and Knows a lot More, put him Wise as to what an Easy Mark he was, he brushed his Teeth and Swore a great Oath to hold Another Examination. The Knowing Ones had to go to the Funeral of their Grandmother’s Sister’s Aunt’s Husband and were Unable to Attend this Exam. Still yet was Nobody Pegged. It waxed Wroth at this. It said Damn and swore by La Paquerette and Le Vilain Petit Canard, that one Grand Review would be given and Every- body’s Goose would be Cooked. A Grand Review was held, an Examination was given and Nobody’s Goose was Cooked. He immediately Took the Airship and whetted his Thirst for Gore at the Mid-years. He sat up Nights preparing an Exam which would be an Exam. If Someone didn’t get Busted this time, He would renounce French and found an Institution for the Furthering of Learning among his Fellow Females. The College would goto the Deuce and all sorts of Naughty things would Happen. He grew exceeding Cruel and the Exam he gave would bring Tears to the Glassy Eyes of Napoleon. Now it Came to pass that the Greasy Grinds who were Much Afraid of this Exam, had Bunted much Midnight Oil of the Neighbors and had Gone through The Book picking out the Little Points and Minute Details. But the Knowing Ones looked Up a Rule or Two and a Conjugation and Felt Satisfied with their Prep. When the Pasteboards were Doled, it was Found that Some of the Greasy Grinds were Lost in the Shuffle, but the Knowing Ones stood Pat. Moral: If you elect a Cinch Course, be a Knowing One. 47 An Appreciation This year we’ll cheer for old Hobart, We’ll cheer through thick and thin, We’ll watch our team play well her part In the games that we’re to win. E’en should Dame Fortune deign to sneer It would not cause a loss, For Jimmie Leighton still is here To teach our men lacrosse. So when the crowd’s about to start, Just as the game is through, We’ll give a yell for old Hobart, And one for Jimmie too. A little frog, An inch wide, Croaked once, And so died. (We killed the Freshman who handed in this. We only publish it as his epitaph.) O he’s an elegant ice box With the manners of a beau, A diamond—but never in the rough, For us poor devils small sympathy enuff, That's Nash! “Everyman” A God-fearing man came to chapel each day, Where the prayers are all said in a disgusting way, And they hustle the service.— Well, it made him quite nervice, And now he’s a bona fide heathen, they say. .48 Rescued from the Waste Basket Mine Dear Echo : I vas dodrei dings all dis year, von by von by demselves alltogeder.

Mv Dear Echo: Yours just received, and in reply would say that it gives me great pleasure to do as you ask and say a few words about myself. Most men call me a grind and think that my sun rises and sets in a Greek lexicon or grammar. Not so, however. You see they ain’t fully on to me. The truth is that not Greek but Zoology is my absorbing interest, and of all animals 1 am most interested in “Birds” which I call “Birdies.” I wish I had gone to Cornell, for there facilities are greater for studying this class of animals. The next great love of my soul is for pancakes, the only limitation being that I can’t get enough of them where I board; but that’s another story, as Rudyard Kipling says. 1 didn’t use to care for the theatre but this last winter I got very much interested in it. I specially enjoyed Miss Mamie Fleming in her classical produc- tions. I wish she’d come back again to Geneva before I get done here. I shall never forget ‘49 her. I get iny degree in June, and next year I shall either teach Greek or start in raising poultry. 1 don’t think 1 shall ever marry. Your sincere friend, Harry Sylvester Simmons. My Dear Echo: 1 am so busy these days attending to the spiritual needs of “ iny parishioners ” that I must answer your request for a letter by a very short epistle. 1 am not studying very hard this year, but am passing up my hours more by grafts ” than anything else. Say. but this faculty is mighty easy ! I can bluff them to beat the devil. I just look wise in class and stab and out- side I have a slick little tale of woe to tel! them. That’s all that's necessary. They shove me on and 1 laugh at the grinds. Heussler makes me mad ! So does the campus of the Hobart Herald! The former rips up all my themes that are read in class, and the latter goes and prints an account of the whole matter. But Campus and Heussler and Muiry and all of the other pow- ers of evil can’t make Me believe that 1 am not a natural genius of a writer. I don’t care if I aw the only one that thinks so. There is one thing I just love to do, and that is scrap with George Gray. 1 dig him every chance I can gel, and when I can’t get a chance 1 make one. I’ve lost my former power here somehow. Since the ’04 Triumvirate was busted up I can't run things any longer. Well, 1 have “ my parishioners ” left. I have power with them anyway. Yours in brotherly love, Walter Emerson Jones. My Dear Echo : As you may know, 1 am fitting myself for the law and am also desirous of becoming a politician. I am naturally endowed with rare gifts as an orator, having a loud and penetrating voice and being especially happy in my choice of words and in arranging English constructions. Realizing how practice augments such a divine gift, I make it a point to speak every time I get a chance; at every college meeting I am always the first man on my feet, whether I have any- thing to say or not. I never allow even a Senior to speak before 1 do. I love to run class affairs, but I was bitterly disappointed at the last election when the ticket 1 had arranged so nicely was voted down 9 to 4. And I was mad, too. I have never forgiven the Juniors for paddling me the night of their banquet. That humiliated me horribly. Jimmy and f talked it over after- wards and we decided that they had no right to do such a thing. 1 thank you, my dear Echo, for your attention. Yours politically, Koiif.rt Summers. My Dear Echo : Some Hobart men are great so far as books go; others have made themselves famous on the athletic field; still others, in other departments. As for me I am great and desire to be great only in one way,—with the ladies. I seem to suit them wherever I go, whether it be to 150 Trumansburg, or Westmoreland, or Willard, or anywhere else, and they collect around me as flies do around a loaf of sugar. Of course I always meet them more than half way, but still I can’t imagine why they should all prefer me to other men. I sing a great deal, though not so early in the morning as I used to last year. One night Budlong took me and two other men down to Waterloo to sing at an entertainment there. 1 never shall forget that. The same thing happened again when another man and I tried to sing a duet at a Baptist social one night. Well, I must close for I owe some more letters of the tinted class to some friends of mine. Your friend, Albert Broadhurst. Dear Echo: You have asked me to say something about my ideals and methods. My ideal of a college professor is one who is essentially a man of kindly sympathy, who feels as much interest in men as in books. Above all he should not be a Latin or Greek machine, dealing out marks from term to term as would a lottery machine, but one who will study each man personally, and not set the same standard of excellence for all, understanding as he will, that all men are not alike. He will take into consideration work as well as actual results. I suit my methods to these ideals. I am so sympathetic by nature that I can’t give an “ F” or “ C” to save me. “ P” is the lowest mark I give, and “ G” and “ R” are not uncommon. You might think from my looks that I am cold and severe and rentless; your supposition is “ ingenious, but unfortunately not correct.” I am very fond of toast, weak tea, middle aged ladies and cats. Yours conditionally, Richard “ C.” Manning. Mv Dear Editors : Kindly permit me to place within the columns of your most worthy Echo a little statement of my latest literary work, a “ Serio-Comical Joke Book.” You see I have to use that great, big, high-sounding word, serio-comical in order to explain exactly what it is—serious to all others, comical to me. But to expositoriate to you what it contains within its two massive covers which have upon them that most beautiful emblem of my own designing, a monstrorious deli- cately outlined green pumpkin, one such as would be a most valuable adornment to any corn- field in my native state of far away New Hampshire, I will say that it contains such jokes, puns and other blood-letting, side-busting, woman-crushing, word-contortioning, laughter-subduing sayings of my own, gathered on various chestnut hunting expeditions, as these: “ Why does a rooster cross the road ?” “ Did you ever see a board walk ?” You can’t have this card because it’s ‘Lent.’ ” Now all these I have spent much time and effort in extracting from their places deep buried under the dust of ages. By uttering the various jokes contained in this book I have made post holes fill up, earth worms run like race horses, and fellowmen bury their heads in shame in order to escape laughing in my face. I have caused all the belles of every town to follow after me with weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, and blue letter paper. This is a book needed in every household to arouse the family in the morning and keep ants out of all •5' the clipboards. I am selling them at the very reasonable rate of ten cents a copy and with each copy I give a book containing all my latest songs and dances. Very most humbly ever yours most obediently, George William Grav. P. S. Professor Vail and Mr. Boardman each have books similar to mine and doubtless much better. I Hobart has a little Iamb, His fleece is red as fire, And everything this lambkin does Provokes the students' ire.

Summers (also in pajamas). Voice from West Bedroom : Oh-h-h, Bob. Bob’s Voice, (excitedly)-. Say. can’t you let a fellow sleep? It’s only ten o’clock. Ain’t hardly slept a wink all night either. Jim (mysteriously): Come in here quick. I’ve got something to tell you. (Bob goes in ponderously and sits on the edge of the bed.) Jimmie: Now I tell you, Bob, we’ve got to keep our hazing quiet. If it ever gets down town, the girls will all kid us so we won’t dare go to the skating rink again. Then good-bye to my “ rep” as a fancy skater. Bobbie : Yes, and good-bye to the days when we were “the goods” to those Genesee Street girls. James : Now there’s no use talking about that. We were easy last night to let those Juniors paddle us. Why, we could have run right in my room and locked the door. Then they could never have reached us. I don’t think they had any right to paddle— Robert (in a frenzy) : Right! man, right! ! Who is there, in this college, who has done more than we have. We have always run things and how are we repaid ? I repeat it. How are we treated by that crowd for whom we have done so much? We are paddled and for what? They said, “ because we needed it.” Is that the way they use men who are the most prominent in college ? I tell you I won’t stand for it. I’ll write to my father to take me out of college before I submit to any such treatment. Maddigan: There will never be another O. M. A. party of sophomores while I’m here. With four men we’ll go out and clean out the whole gang from Georgie Taylor down to Chartres. I ain’t a coward. I’ll show ’em if they can paddle me with impunity. I’ll go right through the whole class. I’ll, I’ll- Bob : (partaking of the general excitement) : That’s right. I’ll do it too. We’ll teach them to paddle us. Jimmie : I’m going to start right now to go around and tell every member of that class just what I thing of them. There goes one now. Holler to him, Bob. (The Junior comes in smiling; Jimmie loses his cue and fotgets what he was going to say.) “ No damage done. ” 153 A Gra[y]ve Affair or the Pawned Watch Following a habit that had become almost a college custom, Guy Edwards, Henry Beach, and George Williams had gone down town after dinner. They had asked for the college mail at the postoffice and were now on their way back to college. “ Let’s go in and have something good, Edwards suggested as they neared a fruit store just above the church. “ No, I can’t, replied Williams, “ I’ve got to go back and get to work on that Greek. “And I can’t either,” added Beach. “I have a little work to do and then I have an engagement in the other part of the city.” With some urging, however, Edwards induced his companions to follow him. When they were inside, he turned to the Italian standing behind the counter and said, “ I guess I'll take a glass of ginger ale. What will you have. Beach ?” “I’ll take one too, seeing it’s you,” “ And do you want some too, Georgie ? No, sir,” replied Williams decidedly. “I’ll take a plain milk-shake; nothing stronger for mr. “ All right.” replied the first. Then turning to Tony he ordered two ales and a milk-shake. Edwards and Beach received their drinks and were soon emptying the glasses. Meanwhile Williams was watching Tony preparing his order. “ My,” he remarked, “ I’ve seen a horse fly and a board walk, but I never saw milk shake so before.” This remark was not heard by his two companions who were moving toward the door. Soon they were outside and by the time Williams turned to leave the store, they were nowhere to be seen. Williams now turned to go, walking quickly toward the door. He had not gone far, how- ever, when he was stopped by the sound of Tony’s voice. Here, wherea you go?” he yelled. “ What’s the matter,” Williams asked. “ Me wanta fifeteen centa. You no leavea till I get fifeteen centa.” Williams realized that Edwards had left without paying for his purchase. He fell in his pocket for his purse. Where was it? He had left it in his room. “ I haven’t any money now,’’ he said, “but I’ll surely pay you to-morrow. I am a student, and my name is George Williams.” “ Student!” said Tony. “ They no gooda for nix. Me no trust them. Williams began to get worried. He hadn’t any money and he knew the Italian would not allow him to leave the store without his pay. He had an idea! Seeing he could not put off '5 4 the Italian till to-morrow he would leave something as security. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small pen-knife. “ Here,” he said, handing it to Tony, “I'll leave that until I can get the money.” The Italian looked at it and handed it back. “ No good,” he said. “ No good.” The other then looked again in his pockets. Finally he took something out and handed it to Tony. The latter took it and examined it. “ That no good,” he said finally. “ What ?” replied the other excitedly. “ Ain’t that worth fifteen cents ?” “ No, that watch poor. No worth fifeteena cent.” By this time Williams began to be frightened. He did not know what the angry Italian might do, and he also knew that he could not get out unless he paid. But just as he was giving up all hopes, the door was opened, and Edwards and Beach came in. “ What’s the matter, Georgie ?” asked Edwards. “ Where have you fellows been ?” Williams asked. “ Oh, just watching the fun from across the road,” Edwards replied. As he did so, he turned to Tony and handed him fifteen cents. The three then left. When they were up the street a little way, Edwards said with a chuckle. “ That was a good joke, wasn’t it eh, Beach ?” “ You bet you,” replied that one. Then he turned to the third and said, “ Come down, Georgie, come down !” But all Williams said, was, “You lobsters, you.” A Tragedy To a maiden, young and fair A maid of old Delancey A college man by name— Had taken quite a fancy. He loved her eyes, her frown, her smile, Her teeth and auburn hair, Her figure round, petite and small. And her complexion fair. To win her love he then would try Music ; to tell her of his passion He would ring that old, old song After a lover’s fashion. So underneath her window, He thrummed the light guitar She caught the love-inspirbd strains And alas, he caught catarrh. Unchained then, came the dogs of war Who rent the song asunder, She caught the sound of ripping clothes, While he, poor fool, caught thunder. 55 A Change in Meaning “ Pereunt et imputantur, ” These the words so long ago Martial wrote about our leisure, As the classic students know. “ Golden are the hours that pass us; They are laid up to our cost, Should we waste them then in leisure When they are so few at most ? High above the chapel doorway On the dial those words you see, And the shadow of the pointer Shows us how the hours do flee. Dear old founders of our college, They, you see had high ideals. But what thinks the college student As he hastes to morning meals ? “ All my chapel cuts are gone now, They are laid up to my cost, From my hours they’ll be subtracted To the Dean I soon must post.” The blues, the blues, Those awful hues, Which ooze, Confuse, Nay more, abuse, Because of dues 1 Here’s news For youse Who have the blues:— “ Try booze, You’ll lose The blues!” T56 A Suggestion for the Class Prophet I had a dream the other night, To heaven I went on high, And there before St. Peter’s gate Saw one for entrance try. On earth he’d been a minister In works both great and good, His faith had been abundant, And clear his record stood. As good St. Peter oped the gate There fell a sorry pun From out the stranger’s smiling lips. St. Peter turned anon. “ Good jokes we always like up here, E’en from a major prophet, But puns like that we’ll not endure, Now get you down to Tophet.” I heard a rush of mighty wings And next, quite sad to say, Some naughty angel boys who sang, Now “ Good-bye, Georgie Gr-y.” Sine Qua Non I saw a prof, one morn in chapel Hug his collar round his throat, No dearth was there”of heat that morning, Why should he hug up his coat ? Chapel o’er he walked out quickly, Medbery A was where he went, But the profs, were all asleep, The previous night in dance was spent. Then he hasted out toward Pulteney, Do you know the reason why ? His class made happy with a run, “ Hungry ” had forgot his tie. 57 A Page from a Psychology Note Book How Can You Tell, Jimmie ?

BUT SUPPOSE 'POOPER HEUSSLER AMO POP“ JANES Picturesque Geneva 1 awoke with a start—anyway how can anybody do anything without beginnin’? Th’ brake- man had just juggled with his vocal chords. 1 says, “ Hi there, what place is this? You’ve gurgled th’ same thing at every stop. Are you a parrot ?” He thought I said carrot, and says, Why, are you a donkey?” 1 says, “ Here, that'll do ! I’ll speak to one of th' authorities of th’ road about you.'’ He says, “ You’re doin’ it now.” Then he put me off. That’s how I happened to be in Geneva. 1 didn't mean to be. I apologize. I’ll never do it again. But as I’m here I suppose I may as well admit it. I’ve found that it’s mighty hard work to cover up your evil deeds, and if a man just out and admits 'em, why his friends don’t throw him down so hard as if they found ’em out on th’ quiet. So I’ll up and admit. But then, this stuff ought to be pretty good anyway—you can’t write a wrong in Geneva. Well, to begin with, 1 was put off at th’ Monitor. (1 call th’ Central station th’ Monitor.” You know th’ Monitor looked like a sardine can on a shingle. But then maybe it didn't look like a sample can). When I was put off th' train in front of this Monitor I was put out. But trifles never trouble me long. Well, I started out to see Geneva. Geneva is a populous village of some 15,000 inhabitants, includin’ STUDENTS, policemen,! saloonkeepers, tailors, non-residents, booksellers, “ Th’ Wilburs,” yellow dogs and professore. There is one pretty girl, -t—opinions vary regardin' who she is, but everybody says there is one. Th’ town is situated at the head || of Seneca Lake near Dan Deegan’s and Hobart College. It's a pretty little city—pretty little for a city. Th’ air is pure and line except near th’ “ Red Cross Lithia Water” spring. There it’s rotfeni. Why they’re thinkin’of cuttin'it out, grindin’it and sellin’it as a fertilizer. Why, a man that lives near there told me that when he set his hens they wouldn’t stay set—they thought th' eggs was bad, you know. Geneva is an awfully dull town. Nothin’ happens there—not even th’ unexpected. As I said before, I started out to see th’ sights. Well, I sauntered away from th’ Monitor and came out on Exchange street. I asked a man and he said it was named so on account of Burbank's Pawn Shop, but, I dunno, Mr. Deegan’s place is on th’ same street. It was on Exchange street that 1 first met th’ street-car track. Geneva is th’ terminus of th’Geneva street railway, and I should think that that railway would be th’endof Geneva. Why the cars actually (I asked a man) run every little while. They're like that little Philistine magazine, only that No reference to station is intended. f These may be omitted without alterin’ th' result. I Besides Nester. || Both ends are “ heads.” Watkins is at th’ other head. § We are not paid for this advertisement. 162 comes out once a month all right. Well, I waited and let a car catch me—you never “catch a car” in Geneva—and when I got on I was th’ only other person in th’ car besides myself and th’ conductor and another little girl. After a while another woman got on. I say another woman because by this time th’ little girl was older. She and th’ conductor were chummy, in fact seemed like old acquaintances. When she got off he got off too—I guess they were both off all th’ time. Then they sat on th’ bottom step and talked. After they’d talked awhile I went out in front where th’ motorman was shyin’ stones at th’ trolley wire. I says, “Power run out ?” He says, “Naw! Restin’!” He says, “Anyway don’t want to hurry or ’ll have to wait on switch for down car from th’ college. We always give ’em time for ’th conductor to get out and pick posies from the fields up there.” And after a time we reached th’double-back-action, split shot, self-adjusting puzzle on Seneca street. It’s a switch. (I asked a man.) Here 1 got off. About a dozen men rushed up, and shook hands with me, and congratu- lated me because I had got off th’ car. Those fellows were all on to th’ Geneva cars, so they kept off from ’em. When I got off I was on, too,—that’s why I got off. After walkin’ around awhile I got on a car again. But it was awful slow makin’ time that way—it was more like doin’ time. At Williams street on th’ down-town side a couple of men got up to get off. One of ’em says to th’ other. “ You live on th’ other of th' street. What are you gettin' off here for ? ” Th’ other man says, “ Sure enuff.” Th’ conductor then spoke up and says, “ Might as well stay on. We’ll stop on th’ 'other crossin’. We’re in no hurry.” And that's what they did. Th’ car stopped on each side of a little narrow street. Finally I says to th’ conductor, “ See here 1 I’m in a hurry. I’ll walk on ahead.” I sauntered slowly along for awhile, but finally got tired, and sat down and waited for th’ car. 1 wanted to ride up toward SOUTH MAIN STREET. You know SOUTH MAIN STREET is a bluff overlookin' Seneca Lake and th' rest of Geneva. Most of it’s a bluff. Of course some of ’em are not. There are some mighty nice people up there. Bein’ a bluff, of course it’s high, and you have to go up in order to live there. Some of th’ people have gone up in business. Some are there because their ancestors sat around in th’ woods and watched “ Th’ Landin’ of th’ Pilgrims.” Well 1 Well! Whatever goes up must come down. Why, I asked one woman, and she said she’d rather live on SOUTH MAIN STREET on a crust of bread than—, but I pulled out and missed th’ rest of it. They have some fine old houses up there. Some of ’em pride themselves on their old houses. Why a man took me out and showed me an old dog-house. “ Why,” he says, “ that dog-house belonged to my great-grandfather.” “ Yes, yes,” I says, in a soothin’ sort of way, I understand. I see you’re a believer in evolu- tion.” But I tell you SOUTH MAIN SRTEET is a great place. It makes a fellow feel that he is somebody. Why I’ve never felt so stuck on myself as I did up there. I guess it’s th’ atmos- phere. 1 dunno. As I said before, SOUTH MAIN STREET looks down on Seneca Lake, and on th’ rest of Geneva. Oh, by th’ way !—One of th’ people up there told me that Geneva was divided into two parts :—(a) or (Ai) Geneva proper, or SOUTH MAIN, and (Bo) Geneva The new woman. 163 improper. I dunno, But then, after all, only a few of th’ people on SOUTH MAIN are offjj. Most of ’em are jolly good. Speakin’ of th’ weather, that Geneva weather is a warm proposition. Why, in summer it's so hot there that they turn their thermometers upside down so that it’ll seem as if th’ mercury was goin’ down when really it’s visin’. One man keeps his in th’ ice-box, Oh, that reminds me ! All th' Geneva ice-wagons have on ’em th' sign “ The Geneva Distributing Co.” Now what would you naturally think that meant ? Well that’s just what I thought, too. You know th’ Geneva milk-men have a funny way of takin’ their milk around in big cans instead of bottles, and every place they stop, out comes th’ big can, and it sets around open while th’ man flirts with th’ cook. All the bugs and flies and other aeriform bodies get into 'em.f They’re “ aerated.” That’s what one man has on his wagon,— “ Aerated Milk.” Another man has on his “ White Spring Milk.” In speakin’ of Geneva’s fine buildings, of course, th’ Hobart College gymnasium must be mentioned first. In order to fitly describe it I must-----------! ! ! ?—?-----------------------!------- !-------------!—?—1 ! I ?

These! are all large, beautiful and thoroughly appreciated by th’ citizens. Th’ water supply of Geneva is excellent. It rains about every day.
