We have endeavored, in pursuance of this object, to maintain the high stand' ard of former BOMBS in faithfully and impartially representing the various phases of College life. That our book way be of interest to all classes we have tried, Without prejudice, to gather from the records of the year only such matter-historical, statis- tical, and literary-as will prove best for that purpose. It has been our aim through- out to give due credit to all the various interests that look to greater progress and ad- vancement, at the same time not omitting to call attention to some of the influences which tend in the opposite direction. While doubtless mistakes may appear, on the Whole We cherish the hope that our work of its own merit will bear evidence of our efforts to make it reflect nothing but credit upon our beloved College. If, in the time to come, it may serve to add to the fame of our already justly celebrated institution, by attesting to its real Worth, if to those who go forth from thesegwalls into the broader arena of the World's activity, it may be .the imeans of awakening pleasant memories of college daysg if, to the Class of Ninety-Six it may be an aid in strengthening With the years the fraternal spirit that binds its members in hearty good-fellowship, then our labors Will not have been in vain. In conclusion, We would not forget to give due credit to Webster's Dictionary and to the College Catalogue, and to all other sources of encouragement and assistance our indebtedness is hereby gratefully acknowledged.

A. C. This ship was met by hun- dreds, yea, thousands, of slim, slank, and slender comrades, eager to gaze upon the new bit of greenness, that through the coming term, was i jij to enliven the gloom of Paradise Lost and The Inferno. From R9 i appearances we should judge that these Preps. as we shall call them, felt as they landed a great deal as our friend Christopher did when he landed a few years ago. F A .bright nobleinan, one S. W. Farwell, seemed to be their leader, for as he stepped out upon the soil, he planted one of Uncle Sam's handkerchiefs bythe Class Rock with the following startling assertion: A In the name of the Preps, I take possessionof every- thing green that may be found between the borders tof the raging Squaw, and the Col- lege Farmf' I This, of course, made them aivery wealthy nation, as they atonce becamepos- sessors of The Grape Patch, The Orchard and agreat many Fair Darnsels. They imme- diately elected their sly member, the Fox, as Overseer of these aforenamed possessions. After much loss of slumber the Fong decided to deposit Cooper in the grape patch to till the chair of Chief of the Scare-crow Tribe. It had taken muchi debate and many days to fill this office, as each member seemed to be better fitted for itithan for any other. v ' - We think that we are perfectly safe in saying that these people know a good thing when they see it and have made good use of their orchard, for they have been seen to carry away to their encampment many bushel baskets and bloomer sleeves f-ull of apples. It might be interesting to the public to watch these embryo Freshmen asgthey evo- lute, so we will introduce them in this pin--feather state and -ask ourireaders to watch the development. Those that can best be represented by a question mark are: Wilson McDill, D. E. Hollingsworth, Nora Canady, Lizzie Ferguson, Maud: Crane, Rose Griffin and Norman Malcolm. In the Green Classy' C. Rouzer, C. A: Steel and Chas. Ellis figure most prominently. Those who seem to be more sleepy than anything else are Mamie Allen and Ernestine Fromantal. We will have to say that 'Mervin Wood knows little, while Willis Moorels name is very deceiving, as he knows less. We find that the class possesses only one jewel, that being a Ruby. G. G. Thornburg must be pointed out as a good fellow, as are all of the members of this interesting class. The class may possess other bright and shining lights, but if so, they have been hidden under a peck measure. Of course, with such asubject as the one we are trying to handle, page after page might by written, but time compels us to say Continued in Our Next. , I I THE BOMB. 0 .--- di.

I ' ELL, I got there all right and didnlt lose my overshoes or copy- Icame pretty near having to walk a long ways, though, for 5 the train went right along by the town, but I told the brakeman that I wanted to get off at Ames because I was going out to the College. I-Iefsaid he would see'what they could do for me and, sure enough, pretty soon the train stopped and began to back up ' f .L 4- ' E on a side track till it got to the, depot. f V il I got off the car and looked around, and just then a little fel- low with a big yellow ribbon on his coat came up and asked me if I wanted to go out to the College. I told him I did, and he asked me i.fI wanted to take the motor out there. I remembered what you told me, so I said No. thank you, I want to take the agricultural course. . He laughed and said if I would come out and see the motor I might want to take that. too, so I Went with himg and there was a little steam engine, about as big as a hand-car, with a cow-catcher on each end and a glass case all around it. It was hitched to a little car. I tried to open the door but it wouldn't push or pull, till the conductor came out and slid it sideways and let me in. After the thing had stopped to whistle awhile, we pulled out for the College. p ' THE BOMB. I5 The first thing we came in sight of was a long, two-story building with HI. A. C. in big letters on one end. I was just going to ask if that was the College when I saw the words Experiment Barn on it, so I didn't say anything. ' Well, we finally got to the depot and got off. There was another fellow with a yellow ribbon on his coat and he asked me if I wanted to go over to the stewardis office. I told him that you had Written to the President and I guessed he was waiting for meg but the fellow said I had better go over to the office and register or they wouldn't get any dinner for me, so I went. f K -The steward did not seem very glad to see me, for when I asked him how he was he just said '-O Shawn and began talking to a little fellow on a high-chair. ThenI Went down to the President's office to see him. There was such an awful crowd in the office that when pI, tried to go up and shake hands with the President I tripped over another fellow's foot and fell against the table. The President looked at me so sharp that I forgot all about shaking hands, and just hid behind ia Senior and kept quiet. - When my turn came. the President gave me a little card which told me Where to go for examination I asked one boy where the Freshman Roomf' was and he said it was at the corner of Music Hall, but when I Went there all I could find was a green- house. ' The first examination I had was in algebra, but I couldn't remember very much of that, so I didn't get a pass-mark till after I had studied awhile. I got along all right in the rest except in physiology. I said that the epidermis was the lining of the stomachg and when we were asked to locate the heart, I said 'mine was in my mouth, for I just know it was. It wasnft very long before the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. gave a reception to us and asked all the other classes to come to it. They had some speaking and singing in the chapel. One fellow talked a long time about how 'they had been working to get ready for us and how disappointed they would have been if we hadn't come, and how, if we were all good and studied hard, we might get to be juniors or even sub-Profs. some day. After that they gave us each a little slip of paper with our name and class on it, and We just walked around and got acquainted with each other. There was one of the girls thatI wanted to talk tog but she kept on talking to a little fellow with glasses, so I went up and said to him, '-I know two very nice boys I will introduce you to if you will come over to the other side of the room, Qthen I was going back and talk to that girlj but he wouldnlt come. Afterwards, I found out that he was a sub-Prof. A - Not long after this I proposed to some of our class that we ask the President if we could have a class-meeting to organize ourselves. He said we could, so on the appointed evening we all went down to Ag. Hall, where the meeting was to be held. While we were Waiting for the rest' to come, a lot of Sophs. and juniors and Seni- ors came in and sat down. I called the meeting to order and asked them to please go away because we had important business on hand. and didn't want to be interrupted, but they none of them Went. , D ,6 THE BOMB. . '- Then a little Senior with a cork nose jumped upon a table and began to talk so fast that I was afraid he would hurt himself, so I appointed two fellows to clear the room of everybody but Freshmen, but they did not seem tolwant to do it, -in fact, they told me if I wanted it done I had better do it myself. The fellow on the table was still chattering along in a way that would have made the fortune of Prof. Garner if that philologist could have caught him. just then some one came in and yelled that Prexy was coming, the fellow on the table ran out of Wind and blew up, and the rest begun to skip out the doors and Windows. In twenty seconds I was left alone with my vanished hopes, for I really think they were going to elect me class president, and when we did have a meeting I w'asn't even nominated for anything. ' Our class hadn't yet got settled before we heard every one remarking about our size, or lack of it. How cute these little Freshmen are, the girls would say, and the boys, They're little, but--O my! Perhaps we were small individually, but what of that? Nature always puts up her most precious products in the smallest packages, they say, and we only proved the rule. One day, I asked a Senior what made them poke fun at us because We were small. He said he guessed they were jealous of us because we would make more delicate pedal depressions in the hydrated aluminium silicate granules of time. Iwonder if that's it? One dark, cloudy night in April, a couple of fellows-one junior and one Soph.-- came to my room and asked me if I had ever caught any snipe. I said I had not, so they told me it was just the best kind of weather for snipe and the woods would surely be full of them. They said if I would go along I could have all I Wanted. I Went. Since then I found out it was an old trick and often played on fresh men. One Saturday I Went out to walk with another boy. . Down on the east side of the campus we came to a building with lots of windows and a high peaked roof. I asked a short fellow who was standing in the door, if that was the creamery. i This,,' said he, dropping his underijaw and speaking quite rapidly, is that mag- nificent edifice whose least elevated stratum is dedicated to the memory of Io and her faithful attendant, the pestiferous ancestor of our beloved friend, musca domesticusi On the horizontal plane above are numerous rectangular compartments, utilized for the hibernation of certain species of genera, Homo and Accmtlivfaffi He stopped and we went around behind the building and asked Who he Was. They told us that he was chickfl Maybe he was, but he isn't any spring chick, I know. 1 I , 1 The next week the Sophomores gave us a reception. Iiwas going to ask a girl to go with me to that, but I heard a Soph. say that there would be some toasts. Now I don't like toast a bit, so I waited to see one of the programs. ,Yes, there it was, sol I staid away. ' 2 Afterwards I was awful sorry I didnlt go, for I found out that toast was only a kind of a speech, and they had an awful good supper, and that girl was there with a Soph. who helped stack my room one night and afterwards called me a bifurcated tooth- pick with a filiform antenna and inverted optical orbs. ' Iwas going to train for the hurdle race this year, but the first day made me so lame that I could not keep step in drill, so the general put me out in a battalion by my- self. . THE BOMB. 17 When Field Day came our class got only three points. Afterwards I heard a Soph- omore say that that number was characteristic of Freshmen, anyway. One day a fellow that I didn't know, came into my room, and after looking at my lights awhile, asked me why I did not get some bigger ones that would give morelight. I wanted to know where to get them, and he told me that probably they would not give them to Freshmen, but that if I would lethim take mine he would go around to the steward's office and exchange them for some bigger ones. He took them and went away, and he never came back, and I had to go and pay seventy-five cents apiece for some new ones. I think that was a mean trick, anyway. Once we played a game of base-ball with the Sophomores. I wished then that I had learned to play ball, for the girls always cheer a fellow so, and think hels a real hero. Of course we got beaten, for our nine couldn't do anything with the ball, while the Sophs. would drive it way over beyond the motor track and then chase their whole nine home, while our' long-stop was trying to find it. One night just after supper, a Senior, who was always talking about rules of order, came up to me and asked if I knew how to lay a motion on the table, The fellows in our society do that sometimes, but I didn't know how, so he told me to come into the west parlor and he would show me. There was a little round table with a marble top, smooth as glass, so I asked where the motion was, when just then three fellows grabbedpme, put me up onthe table and began to spin me around so fast that I couldnlt see anything but a big blue and yellow circle, with comets and meteors and rainbows floating all around me. I think I understand the motion pretty well. ,Next morning I didn't feel very well, so I inquired where the doctor was. They told me in Moirill Hall, turn to the right, first door to the left. A He was writing when I came 'in and said, I don't feel very wellf' That's too bad,', says he looking up. Alter a while I said again, 'Tm not feeling very wellf' I'm very sorry,', said he. getting up and going into a room full of boxes and bottles. He didn't bring me anything, though, so I went up to him and said again, I don't feel very well.'l My dear boy, said he, I am very sorry.'l I went off. Next day I found. that he wasnlt the doctor at all, but was the geology Prof. Everybody seems to look upon a Freshman as a stupendous joke in embryo, though I don'at: see why, for if there never were any Freshmen where would t-he. Seniors come from? . Anyway, we are alarmed by no such Dyer calamities as threaten the Sophomores. We don't work the Profs. like the juniorsg and we don't try to conceal a pleasant lack of pass marks under a brilliant display of mental gymnastics, like the Seniors. ' We may not be worth very much, but I notice that between Prexy and the Senior boys we all get looked after quite carefully. THE BOMB. G ...wi- FRESHNAN STUDENTS. NAME. COURSE. PosToFF1cE. .

No-Eyes! No-Eyes! '97! HISTORY OF NINETY:SEVEN. FROM T. zxs PHoNoGRAPH. A lPerhaps it -was hardly fairy but the Bomb Board takes no such things into account, so when the snake editor got hold of T. Z.'s phonograph it was immediately turned over to the historian. As Franklin's room was the favorite resort of Bigelow, Dyer, Damon, Brewer and Christyfand as he himself was there occasion- allyjthe phonograph contained many things of interest to the Sophomore class. Below we give a few extracts from its eternal talk.. The name Alex is entirely nctitious, and represents anyone from Short Hart- man to Old Bear. V It is no more than just that we should here acknowledge our indebtedness to the phonograph, as many things which would otherwis l machined e iave remained undiscovered were divulged by this guileless and unprejudiced HELLO! Alex, old boy! Donlt it seem magnificent to be a Sophomore and ino longerthe butt of the entire school! When did you get back? I thought when I went home last fall that I didn't care Whether I ever came back or not, but when the time came I was as anxious to get back as I had been to get away. What studies are you going to take this term? Iill tell you what I believe, Alex, it takes a year to learn how to poun- derate facts and stow away knowledge. I bet I can pass up all my work with good marks and not put one half the time on my studies that I did last term. Am I goihg to take extra studies? WellI guess not hardly. Pm going out in society this year. The governor gave me an elegant suit and a hundred dollar bill, just to start me, you know. Work him well? I should say I did! Why, he thinks he can peer into the future and see me either a Stock broker in Chicago, a minister in the pulpit, or a States- Q - TI-IE BOMB. 25 man in the president's chair. That sounds like Dyerls voice yelling Open up! I-Ie's coming down the hall this way. Yep, that's who it is! i-l I'm not a bit sleepy, are you? Then let us talk awhile-we are not held underthe thumb like the girls are. Ididn't go with the girls much last year, you know they always show a preference for upperclassmen-don't know enough to read human nature, I guess, or we would stand a better show. I raised myselfto a great degree of promi- nence at home this winter. Folks always seemed to think I was a kind of a jay before, but being in college a year just carried me right up to the top notch. I couldn't realize to the fullest my great importance, but it opened my occulars to my capabilities as a society man there. And, let me tell you, one of the first things we must do is to form our table in the diningroom. What do you say to inviting those girls we were talking to in the hall to-day? You say they are only Freshmen and that you don't care any- thing about mixed tables? That may be, but I've got to scheme some way to become popular in society, and this will-well you know. Positively, I am going to appear this term. O, by the way, had you thought that to-morrow night is the general reception? Say we go and show the junior and Senior yaps that we are their equals. -1? -- How did I enjoy myself? Immensely! I think Miss H--k is just the girl of the times--a close observer with lots of good common sense. Allow me to tell you what she said, and I know you will agree with me. She said, 'fl think the Sophomore boys are the most intellectual and highly cultured young gentlemen in schoolf' Yes, I did think some of entertaining Miss T-yl-rg but soon became aware of the fact that she is not my equal, for she seemed incapable of carrying on a very lively conversation, and finally abruptlylturned and wandered off with one of those ignoble Seniors. So you think she did not care to be capable of conversing just then? Ishould never have seen it in that light. Perhaps you larwe the best of me this time, but let me give you one piece of advice whichfis worthy of your acceptance. Hold your head high if you wish to be somebody, for if you do not exalt yourself Other people will not. I never before real- ized the utter insignificance of the Freshmen. What are they but a bewildered horde of humanity? Such a green, ignorant, gawky set! why, they don't know the first prin- ciples of etiquette! Blame the Juniors! I hate them worse than I do the Freshmen. I really don't kate the Freshmen but instead have a feeling of pity for them. But those juniors, they think they are privileged characters and say all sorts of exasperating things. Iwas just on the dizzy verge of a desperate scrap at the West House to-day. I re- marked that I must hasten back to the college, and draw for tables, or I would be com- pelled to eat with Freshmen, when a junior spoke up and said, I should think from your general appearance and the size of your cranium that you were not much above one now. 'It just made my blood boil and I would have whipped the ground with him only you know, I fully realized the depravity of class scraps and did 'not wish to lead my class into one.lWe must do something to become more popular with the girls and more noticed by the Faculty. Prex said in his chapel talk QI mean his special one, of coursej that he favored a class that had spirit and was awake to all the newness of life, and also told us to be men. Now wouldntt it be a good scheme to organize a 'tMus- tache Club to which only such members of the class whose facial expressions indicate a want of intelligence, shall be eligible, or would it be better to have every boy try it, 3 26 . THE BOMB. - ' and, if it is an improvement, require him by the class laws to wear said mustacheuntil he completes his college course. tt--- -- - The 4'Mustache Club is a success in our eyes, but some of the other classes think it is an invisible improvement on the faces of the majority of the boys. Although you are not particularly interested in the new club formed to hold the Freshman boys in check, what do you think of it? Well I can't agree with you that it has been a dead failuref' but I do think we are left. What queer creatures those girls are! just because we vowed that the Freshman boys should not accompany upperclass girls, those Soph- omore girls are absolutely crazy to go with them, and the boys just wonlt be squelched. W'e've stretched Shakespeare ten times, and still he is Owen us a great' debt. Then to cap the climax, the Freshman class president declared at the reception we were giv- ing them-yes, audaciously declared that they had equal rights with the other boys in , . k. school! -I guess we had better drop the whole matter. It s too big an underta mg. Come, Alex, roll out and hear the birds sing. It's 4:30 a. m., and we must get out and practice with the base-ball team, or get left sure thing when we play the Freshies. What will you bet on the game? I'll bet the supper at the Railroad lunch counter that the Sophomores Win. All right? Shake. just buried them! Score. 22 to 2 in favor of the Sophs. Now we must play the Seniors. Wonder how we'll come out in that. I feel shaky over the game? Not much! Still I don't bet on the Sophomores this time, and we rnustn't flaunt many colors. I Alex, you are a big chump sitting here delving away at some dry study when you might be out yelling for your class. Why donlt you wake up and have some class spirit? VVhat am I roaring about? Why we beat the Seniors all hollow! Whoopee! And then the trip down town and the superb supper! Whiat was the score? VVhy, haven't you heard! 18 to 12. Ntow let the Seniors boast that we are lacking in intel- lectual ability. I can inform them of the fact that it takes a greater intellectuality than the Seniors possess to gain what we are gaining. I tell you it takes brain power aswell as muscle to win a ball game.. A remark that I overheard to-day makes the insinua- tions of the Seniors pale and fade away. It was to the effect that it is the general opin- ion of the Faculty that if we apply ourselves strictly to our studies in the coming two years we may strike as high an average as the present Seniors. ' Let them howl and boast, we care notf? Field day has come and gone, and we stand victorious. The record shows that we have not neglected our athletics. The majority of the prizes were awarded to us. It isn't much pleasure to talk this over with you, for you care not a whit about it. O, really! would you like to know the score? Well, Sophomores 65, Seniors 455 juniors 24, Freshmen 3. I am justly proud that I entered I. A. C. in 1894, although I doubt my graduating here. Really I have not the slightest desire to graduate. I wish I could work the stand in with the Profs. that you have, none of them like me. The course is more diffi- cult than there is any need ofg not that I cannot pass, but that I simply do not care to. UL- I TNOTFYTGPICYC all that jssued from, the machine was a confused jumble of such words as -f'Mustache, I 13115 Clulj- X C- Ay Cl1lCk6nS! t'Turkeys! Prex ! ! ! Then came a time when all that could be iearc was tie woi ings of the phonograph s own inwards. Something had gone wrong. THE Boivna. I 2:7 I am going where the Profs are more genial and the course is of more practical use to me. My health will not permit such a great mental strain as the studies here require. You donlt think I'll find that place short of the region described in Milton's Paradise Lost. I What do you call that-a roast? O, well. you have not been out much this term, so I cannot expect you to be up with the times. What do you think of my soci- ety record so far? I would be satisfied with it if the girls were not such fools about go- ing with those 4-homely intellectual chaps. Dress and culture in etiquette have no in- Huence over them. I would much rather be with the boys. Say. Alex, drop that Analyt and go d. t. with us to-night and see what real fun is. Yesterday evening I felt rocky a plenty, so after feeding my face in the dining-hall I blew down to the Arcade with a couple of other heelers. It was such a dead smooth night that we went down the motor track at an easy pace, and along Church Street to see the city girls. Christy was decked out to beat the band, and was bound for a hoe down somewhere. johnson was on the street-you know he boards d. t. this term. I-Ie dresses swell, but I don't think he cuts much ice with the girls after all. Struck Shaw down there, and he wanted me to get in the push with the rest of them. So I sat down and had some ham and eggs with ice-cream for desert. The good Chamber- lain blew in, and gave us the glad handg but he was loaded for more, so we gave him the cold shake. Now, Alex, that is what I call fun. This morning, O, howidifferentl I woke up with a dark brown taste in my mouth, cut Zoology, and shoved in a sick ex- cuse to Stanty. Probably he put down a zip for me. My high expectations at the be- ginning of the term! O well. I didnlt know much then. Wait until later, I think Mor- pheus wants my company for a few hours. Now I am ready to answer your question, and will in a few words state my views along that line. I know I'm very different from the ordinary I. A. C. ite, but I know awhat I think A man may have a good thorough book education, but if that is all he knows he will never be a man. One must understand humanity, The ways of the world are fully one-half of man's education. Well, what if that is all I have learned this year, there are more years coming. The term isiover and you can say in all sin- cerity, This has .been for me a year of pleasure and profit. The former, no one can questiong the latter, coming years will unfold. Yes, Alex, I have had all the fun there is going and some profit. Marked has been the progress of the Class of 797, after two years in which the heterogeneous mass has been in the great part assimilated. Next year I am coming back to-study. THE BOMB. NAME.

' JUNIOR REFLECTIONS. NDEED, 'varied have been the experiences of I. A. C. in the recent years that have glided into the unbroken silence of the past. Could these old halls but for a time break forth into speech they could tales unfold of deeds long since forgotten, and scenes depict that have faded from the memory of man. But no less could they tell of the happy days when youthful ardor, spurred on by ambitions luring beckon, grappled with the sturdy realities of life in the grand work of a higher and nobler develop- ment. And of what surpassing interest would be the stories they could tell of the strange characters and creatures that have at different times and in marvellous shapes and forms made this old college the setting in the parts they played. f'Owl Eyes stared at the curriculum that was to impart the wisdom becoming their namei Green Turtles basked in the bright sunlight of the advancing thought of the new educationg -'Tadpolesn wriggled about in these waters of learning, and like their predecessors, have in their bodily form, gone forever. Doubtless they have long since developed into Frogs, and concentric rings of influence mark the places where they sink or swim in the sea of life. Nor were these all. Driftwood was deposited and in time cleared away, Toadstools grew and matured in the fertile soil of educational opportunityg Gourdsl' ever climbed toward a higher element, and Suckers, not yet departed, live and thrive in the deep, shady pools and the sun-lit shallows of college advantages. l 34 THE BOMB. g Truly. from land and water, from the earth, the air, and the sea have come the hosts whose remarkable records constitute the history of I. A. C. But a greater won- der Was yet to appear. Fraught with supremest interest to the astronomer have always been those strange visitors from the far off bounds of the universe, the Comets. VVith transcendent splendor for a brief time they fioat within the limits of man's vision and then are gone, and with them go their light and beauty to other worlds. So into the world of I. A. C. the Ishkoodahs for ashort time-Alas! how short-have come. not perhaps exciting so much wonder as their ethereal namesakes, but surely resembling them in distinctive character. And so, not confined to land or sea, the influence of I. A. C. has reached out into the boundless infinity of space and drawn from its mysterious realms the glories of the stars themselves. Like the comet of the heavens the Ishkoo- dahs have but a transitory existence in the atmosphere of the college world, but, unlike their heavenly relatives, their lustre shall not grow dim as they go forth into the dis- tance of the coming years. Nay, may we not predict that it shall brighter grow with each succeeding year. A VVho can say what mighty impulses prompted one hundred and eighty-four young men and maidens early in the spring of YQ3 toforsake their various occupations, on farm, in village and city to congregate one cold week in February about the halls and at the motor depot of the Iowa Agricultural College? VVith what sinking of heart did they, view for the first time the furnishings of a room in Freshmen heaven! But the obse- quious Senior soon came to the rescue. With studied politeness he did all in his power to dispel any lingering feeling of home-sickness, and to make things interesting gener- ally tothe credulous Freshman. However, in spite of accommodations, Seniors, and other drawbacks, the Class of '96 lost but little time in settling down to the steady, solid habits of work which have ever since characterized them. Not in the least discouraged by the Sophomores' show of superior learning, with commendable energy they attacked the advance guard of the college course, and. victorious from the beginning, in the closing days of the junior year they can see, not far in advance, the triumphant ending of a successful struggle. A I Thus the Class of '96 began its career as a part of the college life of I. A. C. To follow its course through all the days to the present time and to note in detail the many experiences-grave, sober, and gay-which have marked it 'as a class, would be indeed a formidable task. But the principles upon which its foundation rests, the motives that have shaped its actions. and the more important forces that have helped or hindered its progress, upon consideration will give an interesting and reasonably comprehensive View of the class. 6 A A U Like all other classes, that of '96 sought early in its first year to effect a class or- ganization. After several attempts, this was at length satisfactorily accomplished, and from thenceforth they exemplified the old saying that in union there is strength. This was the first class in the recent history of I. A. C., to live through its first term without the enlivening experience of a picture scrap. The growth of a better and truerncla-ss spirit which dates from the day that abolished such manifestations will always reflect credit upon the courage of those ,instrumental in promulgating a better class relationship. In due course of time the Class of 396 received the appellation by which 'they have since been known. The Sophomores, appreciating, doubtless, the high aspirations and l THE Bonn. ' 35 lofty ideals of this new class, displayed their sense of the fitness of things by naming them lshkoodahs, which being translated means Comets. And thus the first year of the lshkoodahs' sojourn drew to a close. As Sophomores the class returned and cheerfully undertook the task of reducing the Freshman newcomers to ia condition of speechless wonder and admiration for Soph- omore magnificence and superiority. There is no record to show whether the younger class was duly impressed or not. During this year various Ishkoodahs for different rea- sons prematurely completed their education in I. A. C., and departed for Helds fresh and pastures new. Those who remained, though small in numbers, put forth most cred- itable efforts to uphold a high standard in every department of college activity. A most novel, and even exciting reception, in which others than the legitimate participants fig- ured prominently, took place early in the year. Deep laid schemes that might have thwarted the friendly purpose of the lshkoodahs, ended only in demonstrating the abil- ity of the Class of l96 to rise superior to circumstances. After many days, confusion gave way to order, and peace again reigned supreme in hall and on campus. In the second term the Ishkoodahsllearned many new and wonderful facts concerning the ori- gin, history and uses of H 2 O and other equally mysterious symbols. Likewise many of them spent much valuable time in taking to pieces inoffensive clams, frogs, etc., and in tracing out the manifold variations of x and y as the latter perambulated in unac- countable fashion about two seemingly harmless straight lines intersecting each other at right angles and hanging suspended in the air. Occupied with these and similar pleasure- ableppastirnes, the class. with mingled feelings of sorrow for the good-by to Sophomore greatness. and of glad anticipation of the coming junior advantages and opportunities, saw the ending of the second year of its college existence. A And now the important year in Ishkoodahsl history engages our thought. Coming back in the spring of '95, with the same .energy and perseverance as of old-increased, if anything-they entered upon the junior work. No unusual or exciting events have disturbed the progress of the class thus far during the year. X Swiftly Hy the days-days 'filled with golden opportunities for advancement and im- provement, days sometimes dark with the shadows ,of trial, and struggle, and moment- ary failure, but oftener bright with the sunlight of successful endeavor after higher and nobler living, happy days, when the satisfaction which comes from a sense of conscien- tious performance of duty is ample reward for the pains of the toilers. So in the midst of the whirl of college work, we pause a moment for a glance back- ward over the scenes of the past months, and to peer into the veiled uncertainty of the coming year, to descry, if possible, the experiences that await us there. Again we see the awkward Freshman, at first the play of circumstances, speedily adapting himself to his new environment, we see his freshness and verdancy rapidly giving place to self-con- fidence and independence, the process being 'greatly accelerated by the benevolent up- per-classmen. And how easy the transition tothe Sophomore stage. How readily and naturally he assumes the air and demeanor of that exalted personage. Through the humiliation following the discovery that, after all, he is only an ordinary mortal, and through his real achievement as well, he moves steadily on untill at last the halcyon days of student life, the junior year, bring the first sign of the fruitions of his labors. Now comes more fully an appreciation of the priceless value of real education, and, as 36 THE Boivns. we believe, a corresponding increase. in effort toward its realization, and now he begins to speculate concerning the distinguishing attributes of a Senior. Will the usual, but not necessarily fatal, epidemic of whiskers and the ponderous dignity from which Seni- ors, from the dawn of college history, have suffered, afllict him? Time alone can tell. If we may judge from the experience of the past, we may know that whatever fortune befalls the Class of '96, they will go bravely forward until the last of their college days shall bring the reward that honest effort and unfaltering devotionlto duty merit, im, .535 - ---:A JUNIOR sTUDENrs.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '95 FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE PRESENT TIME-BEING A FULL AND COMPLETE ACCOUNT OF THEIR MANNERS AND CUSTOMS, DAWN, DOMINATION AND DECLINE. INTRODUCTION. IME is everything. There is nothing that man may name but must fall, and pass into nothingness before the mighty sweep of Time. Time takes for its heritage Eternity, upon whose limitless expanse no mark appears but the monuments sacred to the memory of honest and suc- cessful human endeavor. Men there be who would fain convince them- 'Z' ' , ..f ' ?lf'W ict' , f w p W? if I 13 :fi ll 7 -5552?

N. selves that lasting bulwarks may be raised by selfish hands against Time's mystic skies. Men there be who fain would believe that truth, honesty and consideration for our fellowmen have noifunction in the economy Of Nature. Men there be who have falsely persuaded themselves that because there is no time like the present, there is no time but the present. Vainly the heaven-exploring orbs of the ,aes- thetic, yet prophetic seer, sweep with keen glance the broad empire Of Time in search of confirmation of such fact. Falling back upon the fuller whisperings of Truth. he - THE BOMB. 44 hears the mandate of the Great Unseen,--Nothing stands but that which stands by Truth. Nothing shall stand, either in the inner circles of the votaries of knowledge or in the mighty sweep of all the earth, that is not founded on the deepest interest in the best for all. Nothing lives but Love. Yet Time is everything. Yea, even the power of the Class of Ninety-five is but the handiwork of Time, who is no respecter of classes and even at whose beckoning the Senior Class must come. Man and his fortunes are but the toys of time. Even during its occupant's wildest moments or barbaric revelry the throne of Belshazzar was tottering to its fall. The mighty wheel of the inevitable must turn, and for every ascent there is a corresponding descent. In only one month after the publication of this book the Class of ,QS will be numbered among the Alumni of I. A. C. No more as Seniors may they vaunt of the unvanquished spirit of their organization. No more, by virtue of the supposed exalted superiority of their position, shall they be allowed to haunt the sacred precincts of Ladies' Hall, and with bland action and glib tongue lull to unsuspecting confidence the keen eye and quick ear of the Guardian of Angels. No more to banquets and receptions may they allure the fairdamsels of the lower classes. No more upon the motor track, or even upon the silent campus, will they wander on starry nights, teaching the innocent and credulous the wonders of astronomy, the infinite wanderings of the Voiceless stars. No more as students must they burn the lamp of industry, no longer worry over exams, no more labor upon theses. Their college work is done. ' But though man may write the history of their college Work, no man can write the history of its effects. Time ruleth all things. The effect of deeds is not all in the Pastg their iniiuence lives and grows. J Upon the silent tracks of Time may be seen evidences monumental of the honest endeavor of the Class of 795. But about the feet of these monuments lie the ruins of structures which were not founded upon right knowledge of human law. Ruins lie in disjointed fragments, endeavoring to persuade the historian that they hold the secrets of the Past and that it is of them men wish to learn.-fl-Tellow students abducted. Re- freshments stolen. Dreary ride in darkness. Wild cries upon the Campus at midnight, Wrecks of Field Days' hopes and ambitions. Banquet of the Class of '94. The peace of Ames destroyed. Fierce struggle upon the depot platform. Hatred of brother classes. Ruins! Ruins! Yet it is not of such that the historian would Write, for v If there be thistles, there are grapesg If old things, there are newg Ten thousand broken lights and shapes, Yet glimpses of the true. ' To catch those glimpses of the true wherever they appear, and to- eXtol them to the No-Eyes, to the Pygmies, and to theuknowledgable Prep is the office of the his- torian, so with these few words of introduction the body of the history is reached. The history, on account of dealing only with the good and fair of the Class, is neces- sarily less tnan one half as voluminous as it would otherwise have been. , FIRST EPOCH. FROM THE COMING OF THE PREPS TO THE PICTURE SCRAP. The early history of this peculiar people is shrouded in the misty twilight of tradi- tion. just when the first members of this class became a college student is beyond the 4 45 THE BOMB. A recollection of the ttoldest inhabitantf' The following is the most probable hypothesis as to their origin: 5 The vanguard of the Class of ,QS were the Preps of the Fall Term of '9I. The Pre- paratory Class of that term was a collection of individuals of marked ability. From the first their intellectual advancement was abnormal,-a fact which can be accounted for only by the excellent apple crop of that year. In the spring of 1892, such Preparatory students as had not finished their education the fall previous, were reinforced by an immense throng of Freshmen who seem tophave come from divers portions of the state. This immense 'concourse ofembryo Suckers soon beca-me accustomed to the place, some walked about with the air of trustees, while others staid in their rooms and studied algebra. The last mentioned now occupy front rooms on the Senior floor, the first, alas! are no longer with us. The class numbered two hundred and forty-not more than half this number being candidates for class pres- idency. The spring term passed quickly, the lagging moments being given impetus by the excitement of class election and Picture Scrap. The Class of '94 sought an appro- priate name, the picture was drawn, exposed to the maddenedtgaze of the valient men of 795, and the last Picture Scrap in the history of I. A. C. ensued. Honor and praise must ever be given to the class that dared to break the shackles of that barbaric custom. F 4 SECOND EPOCI-I. DATING FROM PICTURE SCRAP TO WORLDlS FAIR. A A The second college year is a year in which the student is tried in the fiery furnace of Fierce competition. The junior EX. is just ahead. In that year the bright student blossometh, the industrious comes to the front, While the fake is'crowded to the Wall. To this second year's work the Suckers returned with diminished numbers but undimin- ished energy and determination. In the first term they forever abolished the Picture Scrap, and were thus instrumental in Hlifting the banner of higher class fellowship to to eyes of our fellow-students in the colleges and universitiespof America. In the sec- ond term they went to the World's Fair, where some of them learned much and were an honor to the State and Institution which they represented, others were proven to be nothing more or less than the class name would indicate. THIRD EPOCI-I. DATING FROM THE WoRLD's FAIR TO THE BANQUET. - The junior year is the brightest of the four years of the college course. The Freshman year is full of bashfulness .and breaks, the Sophomore year is crowded with wild hopes and ambitions which seem destined never to be realized, the Senior year is grey with faded hopes and lost opportunitiesg but the junior year is full of confidence, assurance, and determination,-prornulgators of the BOMB, the other classes recognize their mystic sway. The BOMB of the Class of ,QS was a worthy monument to the genius and enterprise of that class. Many stirring events transpired during this year-none of which, however, come within the domain of the historian. THE BOMB. 46 . FOURTH EPOCH. DATING FROM THE BANQUET TO THE STATE FAIR. The Senior year openedwith pleasant prospects, all clashings with classes were in the past. Everything seemed to prophesy a year of greatest prosperity. With energy renewed by the rest enjoyed during the winter, the Class of 795 returned to its work with unabated zeal. It wasfsaid that the record of the junior Ex. Speakers of that class was unparalled. VVhether,this. unqualified statement is true or not, at least it bids fair to be true of their Senior Speakers, for there was never a class that during its last two years maintained its standard higher than has the Class of ,9S. There is in all col- leges a tendency .among the upper-classmen to relax from the painstaking zeal of their early years and rest secure upon the laurels they have won. At I. A. C. this is especi- ally true of the fall term Senior, when so many social requirements join to allure the Senior from his books. Not so with the members of the class of ,955 up to the very moment of the publication ofgthis book they have never faltered or lingered to rest by the way. Their ideals are high-higher perhaps in this one matter of scholarship than in any other. . K Those who say that theyiicannot love the Suckers as a class, say also that they can- not but love them as individuals. Were we to criticise we would say, Perhaps too aggressive, perhaps too intent on seeking self-interestg perhaps too lacking in considera- tion for their fellow-classes. It is the duty of the historian neither to criticise or to eulogize, but to chronicle events and their iniiuencesg yet, in justice to the Seniors, the historian must say of them what Truth herself would say,-honesty, industry, ability and fairness are distinctive attributes of the men of 795. .- NAME.

BEARDSI-IEAR, A. M., L. L. D., PRESIDENT AND PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY. Wm.iM. Beardshear, for the past fourteen years among the leaders in Iowa's edu- cational work, was born near Dayton, Ohio, and began life on a farm, commencing his education in the district school. U His life has been preeminently a life of activity, the fruits of which have been of incalculable benefit to our country, the love of which led him at the age of fourteen to inlist in the Army of the Cumberland. When the thunders of civil war had ceased and the dying echoes told only of the coming peace, he turned his thoughts 'to milder occu- pations and entered Otterbein University. 1876 he graduated, and then devoted two years to post graduate work in Yale on. Hebrew, Greek, philosophy, and theology. I-Ie then engaged in ministerial work in his native stateg but this was not destined to be his life's work, for in 1881 he accepted the presidency of Western College of To- ledo, Iowa, a position which he held until 1889. Never did great personal influence and well directed executive ability achieve a greater success than that achieved by Dr. Beardshear. The work of the college was made more thorough and inspiring, the col- lege was brought before the people, and through its president's influence new buildings were secured and the facilities of the college increased, with a result that the attend- ance became greater than ever before in the history of the institution. But he was called to a still greater sphere of usefulness when in 1889 he resigned this position to accept the superintendency of the Des Moines city schools, which posi- tion he held until he resigned to' become' president of our ibeloved institution in 1891. Under his able direction the the growth of the Iowa Agricultural College has been truly wonderful. Nature has endowed him with those qualities which would best fit him for his position. Of handsome personal appearance and pleasant address, he wins the admiration and respect of all who know him. To his executive ability, scholarly attainments, and power as a man, the advancement of this institution stands a monu- ment. But his field of usefulness is not confined to the work of the College alone. As a lecturer he is noted throughout the West. . To the teachers of Iowa he is well and widely known, and through his teaching hundreds ofithem havegained inspiration for their work. He is one of the most active and progressive members of the Iowa State Teachers' Association. In fact wherever educational work is to be done he may be be found, ever active, ever on the alert, ever willing to do his part in advancing the standard of knowledgeiand of truth. Dr. Beardshear was married to Miss Josephine Nundhenk, and to them have been given a happy family of two sons and three daughters. J f 52 ri-is BOMB. WV. H. WYNN, PH. D., D. D., . PROFESSOR OF LITERATURE AND HISTORY. '- , . Probably there is no member of the Faculty of I. A. C. who has made a deeper impression upon the lives of the ones receiving instruction than has Professor Wynn. Earnest, enthusiastic, and conscientious, for sixteen years he has been actively engaged in educational work at I. A. C. A grand good man, the senior member of the Faculty, his life has been like a benediction. n He was born in Pennsylvania. His early, as well as higher education was excep- tional in its thoroughness. He graduated from Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio. At the age of eighteen he began his work as a teacher, and since then has ably filled the pulpit, and has served in every public school capacity. From 1856 to 1862 he was principal of the Hamilton Academy. He served nine years as superintendent of schools in Butler Co., Ohio, at the same time carrying on other educational work. After this he was elected superintendent of the city schools of Middletown, Ohio, which position he held from 1862 to 1864. He was president of Mendota College, Ill- inois, fromi A1865 to 1869. and deputy superintendent of Public Instruction from 1869 until 1872, when the governor tendered him the office of superintendentiof Public In- structions, which had become vacant. This position was, however, declined as he held the professorship of Latin, Literature, and History in I. A. C., where he remained fifteen years. After acting as president of Midland College, Kansas, two years, and professor of Literature and History for five years, he returned to I. A. C. in 1894. i Prof. Wynn is widely and favorably known as a writer of rare grace and power, and is an undoubted authority upon all literary topics. I THE BOMB. 53 S MISS MINNIE A. ROBERTS, B.

A. C. with the class of '9o. Of the last two years of her college life there was no record kept, as she was during that time proc tor of the girls' floors. , Miss 'Roberts was one of the ten junior Exhibi- tion speakers, and was always numbered among the leaders of her class. For a short time she taught in the Des Moines schools but resigned her position thereto accept that of First Assistant in Mathematics at I. A. C. The winter of 'QI-2 was spent traveling in the Westg and to better equip herself for her work here the vacation of '92-3 was devoted to post- graduate work in mathematics at Cornell Univer- sity, N.

A., TREASURER AND LAND AGENT OF IOWA AGRICUL- TURAL COLLEGE. Although not a native of Iowa, Prof. Knapp has lived the greater part of his life in this state. He was born at Poultney, Vermont, in 1863. At the age of three years he left Vermont and came with his parents to Iowa. At Vinton, in the latter state his education was begun For several years he studied there under the direction of his father, and then entered I.lA. C. in the spring of '80, After his graduation in '84 he remained at the college as assistant professor of Agriculture for several years, leaving the position in March, 1887, to-accept that of treasurer and land agent of the College. The latter position he still continues to occupy in a manner satisfactory alike to authorities and students. ' In 1885 Prof. Knapp was married to Miss Mary McDonald of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, who was a mem- ber of the class from which he graduated. His home is further blessed with the presence of three children-one son and two daughters. ' li. E. w. s'rANToN, M. Sc , PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS AND POLICTICAL ECONOMY. The first diploma granted by the I. A. C. is held by Prof. E. 'M. Stanton, and since the day of his graduation, 1873, he has held a position in his Alma Mater. From 1872 to 1877 he was assistant in Mathematics, and since then has been Professor of Mathematics and Political Economy. I-le was born in Waymart, Pennsylvania, and at the age of seventeen became a student inthe Del- aware Literary Institute at Franklin, New York, a school then Linder the direction of Professor jones, now of Cornell University. In 1870 Prof. jones was elected Professor of Mathematics at I. A. C., and at this time E. W. Stanton entered the College as a Sophomore. In 1877 he married Margarer McDonald, who was then Preceptress of I. A. C. and whose recent death, july 25, 1895, has taken away the only re- maining member of the first faculty of the institu- tion. She is mourned by all who knew her, and in his deep sorrow our beloved professor has the heartfelt Sympathy of all that are, and ever have been, connected with the college. , For twenty-two years Prof Stanton has been an instructor, thorough, painstaking and conscientious in all his work. MISS JULIA A. VVENTCH, B. L., I ASSISTANT IN MATHEMATICS. Miss Wentch was born in Traer, Tama County, Iowa, in 1865. ln the public schools of her native town -her education was begun. In 1884 she 'began the course of study at I. A. C., which resulted in qualifying her for the degree of B. L. in 1888, and later for being of incalcu-lable aid to the mathe- matically inclined Freshman and Prep. in the same institution from which she graduated. The time from her graduation until the present, however, was not all spent in teaching at I. A. -C. She taught one year in the grammar school in Beat- rice, Nebraska. She was afterward instructor in Mathematics in the High School of the same place. From there she came in 1893 to I. A. C., where she has since remained as assistant in Mathematics. 54 I THE BOMB. 1. L. Bunn, M. H., PROFESSOR OF HORTICULTURE. Prof. Budd is perhaps better known than any other person connected with the College. Wher- ever fruit is palatable and flowers delight the eye, the name of Prof. J. I... Budd is known. His life has been a life of activity. Born in Peekskill, N. Y., in 1835 he began teaching school at the age of sixteen. He graduated from the Normal Institute of Monticello, N. Y., and the few following years had charge of an academy for boys in Rockford, Illinois. A The next eighteen years were spent in the varied capacities of principal of schools, farmer, nursery- man and secretary of the Iowa State Horticultural Society. ln 1877 he became professor of horticulture at I. A. C.. and since then has been identified with the Institution. He has labored incessantly, scouring the Old World for desirablewfruits and shrubs, and educating the people to their use. Professor lludd is known to the students and professors of horticulture from his native state to to the Pacific coast., Enthusiastic and painstaking, his work has been of incalculable value to his state and college. PROFESSOR CHAS. F. CURTISS, B. AGR., . ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE IOWA EXPERIMENT STATION. Prof. Curtiss first made his existence known Dec 12, 1863, in jo Davis Co., Ill, the next year moving with his people to Story Co., Iowa, where the early part of his life was spent on the farm. After graduating from the Nevada High School he entered I. A. C. and most successfully completed the course with the Class of '87, paying his entire way through college by his own exertions. He then conducted a large stock farm for three years. It proved he had turned his opportunities to the best account, as in '90 he was appointed State Statistical Agent for the U. S. Department of Ag- riculture, and was also chosen as Station Assistant of Experiments of Agriculture at I. A. C. Activity seeming to be necessary to his comfort, he still con- tinued as Live Stock Editor of Rural Life, which position he had filled for some time with great credit to himself. Prof. Curtiss is an ambitious young man whose remarkable force of character insures a most suc- cessful future. ' ' , Q , HON. JAMES w1LsON, PROFESSOR OF AGRICULTURE AND DIRECTOR OF EXPERIMENT STATION. ' In the city of Ayrshire, Scotland, in a delightful old ancestral home, Aug. 16, 1835, Prof. Wilson was born. I-le was one of a large family of child- ren who came to the United States in 1852 and made their home on a farm near eTraer, Iowa, in which state his education was Obtained. Prof. Wilson has seen much of public life, serv- ing for six years as a Representative in the State Legislature. Iowa then sent him as one of her rep- resentatives to the Forty-third, the Forty-fourth, and the Forty-eighth Congresses at Washington. There he was energetic in securing greater trans- portation facilities for the farmers of Iowa. Prof. Wilson has acted as regent of the State University, as senator of Monmouth College, Ill., and as trustee of both Western and Coe Colleges, Iowa. In 1891 he was elected to the chair of Agricul- ture in connection with Directorship of the Expe- riment Station at I. A. C.. This department has shown a rapid and marked improvement under his careful and judicious supervision, and is making its influence felt throughout the Northwest. W. E. HANSEN, B. Sc., AssT. PROFESSOR OF HORTICULTURE. W E. Hansen graduated from I. A. C. in 1887, spending the time between then and his election in November, ISQI, to the position he now holds, in the nurseries of 1-Ion Silas Wilson, of At1antic,and Hon. C. L. Watrons, of Des Moines. Prof. Hansen has always made a specialty of Horticulture, and by thorough study and extended travel has acquired -an enjoyable reputation asau- thority in his line. 1 - ' I-le spent about four months of the year 1894 in Europe, visiting Germany, England, France, Rus- sia, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and Belgium. I He returned with over 300 photographic -views, and many new ideas. ' He was greatly pleased with the attention paid by European countries to horticulture,and the more general knowledge of the subject there than here. Particularly was this so in Germany, where horti- culture is taught in the common public schools. However, after mentioning many admii able things about Europe, Prof. Hansen says: But America is certainly the best country to live, in, and Iowa, taken as a whole, is the best state in the Union. Prof. Hansen was born in Denmark in 1866, and came to America in 1873. I I 1 s THE BOMB. 55 LOUIS HERMANN PAMMEL, B. AGR., M. Sc., PROFSSOR OF BOTANY. Born in La Crosse, Wis., in 1862.

Gifted with an intense love of nature, he is an artistof most delicatetouch and is also an earnest and conscentious Christian worker. MISS EMMA SIRRINE, H SC., ASSISTANT IN BOTANY. Miss Sirrine was born in Dysart, Tama Co, Ia., and right there and then the trouble began. Her wants were numerous and variedgand if they were not instantly -supplied the neglect was invariably resented by a succession of monotonous remarks in added G above that endeared her to all who knew her. Her early education was Obtained. in' the public schools of Tama Co. Later, one year was passed at Western College, Toledo, where she took a nor- mal courseq and in fthe normal course of time she flew .forth into the turbulent currentof life, as a country school-ma'am. After teaching one year and a few pupils, she yielded the rod s-he so often had wielded, and,pack- ing her trunk, departed for I. A. C. in 1891. Graduating as a B Sc. in '94, she has since been assistant in the 'Botanical Department. , She has in contemplation a volume of puns upon her name, perpetrated during her college days by fellow-student. , i - , Her every-day life is characterized- by the same sirrine-ity of manner that she displays in her favor- ite amusement Of sleeping through special chapel. CARTER B. WEAVER, B.

' 56 THE BOMB. W. B. NILES, D. V. M., ASSISTANT PROFESSOR IN VETERINARY SCIENCE. Dr. Niles was born in Rock county, Vifisconsin, in 1858. When he was twelve years of age he came with his parents to Marshall county, Ia. In the public schools of thelatter county he continued theeducation begun in those of his native state. He next attended thellowa Agricultural College, from which institution he graduated in 1885. That he was proncient in his 'chosen line of work is proved by his success in the positions he has since held. During the year following his graduation, Dr. Niles was house surgeon at I. A. C., then for a time he served the state in the capacity of Assistant State Veterinarian. From this position he WCIII to Webster City to engage in the practice of his pro- fession, and from there he soon after moved to South Carolina, to accept the chair of Veterinary Science in the State University of that state. Since 1891, the year following his marriage to a daughter of Gen. Geddes, Dr. Niles has Hlled the position of assistant professor in Veterinary Sci- ence at I. A. C. W. E. HARRIMAN, B. SC., M. D., PROFESSOR OF PATHOLOGY, HISTOLOGY, AND THERAPEUTICS. Born in Cherokee, Ia, Dr. Harriman's career, as student, physician, and instructor, has thus far been identined with his native state. Until he wasftive years of age he lived in Cherokee, then with his parents he moved to Hampton, la.. where he at- tended the public schools and where the foundation of his education was laid ,After his graduation from the High School at Hampton he came to I. A. C., entering the Science Course, from which he graduated four years later. In the spring of 1895 he graduated from the jeff- erson Medical College, at Philadelphia, and on july 16, of the same year he was elected to the chair of Pathology, Histology, and Therapeutics, and College Surgeon at I. A. C., a positionfor which his thorough training and his success as a rising physician have eminently fitted him. On October 3, 1894. Dr. Harriman was married to Miss Marie Wormley, of Newton,.Ia., and once of the Class of ,QS at I. A. C i A. R. WAKE, D. V. M., DEMONSTRATOR OF ANATOMY, AND Houses I SURGEON, was born at Wakefield, Kansas, March 23d, 1873. His father was a merchant inthe town of Wake- field, and A. R., much against his wishes, was at an early age given a position in his father's store. During these early days visions of the life of a cowboy passed invitingly before his eyes, and in his day dreams our hero often pictured himself ar- rayed in all the paraphernalia of a veritable plains- man. A In the southern part of Kansas in 1890 he worked for a farmer, intending to go to California in the fallg but returned home and, in the winter of 1890.- 91, attended the Omaha Commercial College In 1892 he entered I. A. C., taking the degree D. ,V. M. in 1894. During the winter of 1894-95 he was appointed Assistant State Veterinarian, and with the opening of the college .year entered upon the duties which he now so efficiently performs. M. STALKER, M. SC, V. S., PROFESSOR OF VETERINARY SCIENCE AND STATE VETERINARIAN. As the head of the Veterinary Department at I A. C., Dr. M. Stalker has for twenty-two years labored unceasingly to make it second to none in the West Unusually thorough as a teacher, and at the same time interestingand entertaining, he is invariably popular with all students. ' His untiring efforts for the upbuilding of I. A. C. would alone be sufficient to afford him an en- viable reputation, but aside from this he is widely known as a lecturer and as state veterinarian. Of his work in the latter regard, a valuable authority has stated that it has been of inestirnable value, both from a sanitary and economic point of view, and has always been done with the most scrupu- lous regard to conscientious faithfulness. An influential paper has said of him: 'tHe has been extensively quoted on both sides of the At- lantic, as authority on his specialty. Dr. Stalker was educated in the common schools of Iowa, at the I. A. C. from which he graduatedin 1873, the Ontario Veterinary College in 1877, and by much travel in America, Europe,and elsewhere. V THE BOMB. 57 Z C. D. REED, B.- AGR., ASSISTANT IN AGRICULTURE, was born in Carroll Co.,- Ia., Where the greater part of his short but tto himj eventful life has been spent. Amid the exciting events incident to farm life, varied by regularly recurring excursions to the country school, he passed safely -through the critical period of boyhood and youth. . Early evincing a marked progressive tendency, after having exhausted the resources of the country schools, he successfully completed a course at the Coon Rapids High School in 1891. Iniluenced doubtless by a desire to makea prac- tical demonstration that higher education is as nec- essary to the farmer as to a man in any other occu- pation, soon after his graduation from the High School he entered I. A. C., taking the Agricultural Course, from which he graduated with honors in 1894. The well known push and energy which charac- terize whatever he undertakes, during his college course, made him a useful and efficient member of his class and society. Since his graduation from the-college these qualities have found ample scope for exercise in the position which he now so ably pccupies-that of superintendent of the college arm. . F. L. KENT, B. AGR., w ASSISTANT IN DAIRYING, was born in Clinton county, N. Y., june 25th, 1868. From his earliest moments Fred displayed great precocity. 'Seeing the opportunities which the West offered and the surplus of dairymen in the East, he was impelled to move to Calhoun Co., Ia., at the early age of eighteen months. Probably while musing on- the future he then had intimations of the fame which he-was to win as a dairyman. ' Summers passed, followed by winters which were well spent inthe district school. In 1887 he took charge of the district school himself and taught three terms. In 1893 he entered the Scientific course of I. A. C g but at the beginning of his junior year changed to the Course in Agriculture, and graduated in 1893. Upon graduation he was appointed Lord High Dispenser of the Buttermilk, which position he filled so faithfully and efficiently that in the spring' of 'QS he was appointed assistant in dairying. Dur- ing the present -term he was elected Professor of Dairying in the Oregon Agricultural College,which position he now holds. JOHN F. CAVELL, STBWARD, spent the first twenty-three years of his life on a farm in La Salle county, Ill. His time was divided between attending the common school and aiding in the farm work. He came to Iowa in 1877, find- ing occupation successively as a farmer, a grocery- man, and a furniture dealer. A wide and varied experience was thus gained which was of great val- ue when he subsequently turned his attention to hotel work. ' Ten years were spent in supervising hotels in Newton and Des Moines. Early in 1895 he ac- cepted the position of Steward at I. A. C., where the character of the work makes his superior exe- cutive ability especially valuable. He was married just before locating at I. A. C., to Miss.Kate Winslow, of Newton, whom he finds a valuable and efficient helper. G. L. MCKAY., INSTRUCTOR IN DAIRYING, was born in Oxford county, Ontario, in 1858. He received the rudiments of his education in the pub- lic schools of Ingersoll, Canada, but the greater part is the result of unassisted study. Prof. Mc- Kay is a man who may well be proud of- the ap- pellation- self-educated. He went into the dairying business in I878 and in 1881 was called to take charge of one of the largest factories in Canada. This position he held for several years, during which time in competition with the leading dairymen of Canada, he took sev- eral nrst premiums. . In 1890 he came to Iowa and since then has taken many premiums at State Fairs in Iowa and adjoining states. For a few months in 1893 he was instructor in cheese-making at I. A. C., and in November, 1894, he was elected to his present po- sition. ln 1878 he was married to Miss Sarah A. Gane, who died after three years of wedded life, leaving two sons. In 1885 he was married to Irena M. Pound, whose father was one of the pioneers of the Canadian cheese industry. Two sons have blessed this union. 53 THE BOMB. WARREN H. MEEKER, M. E., ASST. PROF. OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, was born in May, 1867, in Pennsylvania. He at- tended the public schools of Broome county, N. Y. and late1 the Central High School of Binghamp- ton, graduating from the latter in 1887. He next entered Cornell University where he pursued en- gineering studies. He graduated in 1891 with the degree of Mechanical Engineer. After Hnishing his work in the University, in the same year Mr. Meeker turned his face westward. coming to the Iowa Agricultural College, where he had secured the position of assistant pro- fessor of Mechanical Engineering. Here he has remained 'until the present time, a capable and thorough' instructor and a valuable aid to the growth of this department of the college. His suc- cess in this line of work is not surprising when it is remembered that as a student he always ranked among the best of his class. February 29, 1892, Prof. Meeker was married to Miss Carrie M. Seaman, of Ithica, N. Y. ' GEORGE W. BISSELL, M. E., PROFESSOR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, Hrst made his appearance upon this earthly scene of action July 14, 1865, in New York. Like most boys his early years were spent in laying the foun- dations of education, but unlike many boys he did not center his energies upon getting through school with as little labor as possible. After completing the course in the High School in New York he spent one year abroad. In 1888 he graduated from Cornell University with the degree of M. E. In this Institution his record for scholarship during the three years he spent there is one of which he may well be proud. Consequently his subsequent success as an in- structor in engineering studies is not at all surpris- ing. His work in thisline began immediately after his graduation from Cornell. For three years he was instructor in Experimental Engineering at Sibley Collegep At the end of this time he came to I. A. C. to take up the work of assistant profes- sor of Mechanical Engineering. His marked abil- ity soon placed him at the head of the department, and since 1892 he has been professor of Mechani- cal Engineering. - x ANSON MARSTON, C. E, PROFESSOR OF CIVILENGINEERING, ' was born in the year 1864, at Winnebago, Illinois, at which place his education was begun. ln 1885 he entered Cornell -University, and grad- uated with honors from the Civil Engineering course of that Institution .in 1889. ug Shortly after his graduation he became reside11t Engineer in bridge construction of the Missouri Pacific Railway, retaining '5 this position until March, 1892, when he came to I. A. C. The winter after his election to the professorship of Civil Engineering he returned to Illinois and married Miss Alice Day, of Pectonica. ln 1893 he was elected associate member of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Under his efhcient management the department of Civil Engineering has made rapid strides in ad- vancement. . Prof. Marston is a man of quiet reserved nature, and his sound judgment and real manhood com mand the respect of students and Facu1'ty. VJILLIAM SUDDARDS FRANKLIN, M. sc., PROFESSOR OF PHYSICS A'ND ELECTRICAL ENGI- NEER1NG, was born at Geary City, Doniphan Co, Kansas, Oct. 27, 1863. At the age of twenty he became a student in the University of Kansas, entering the Sophomore class, and graduated from there in 1887. ln 1888, while acting as assistant professor of physics in the University of Kansas, the degree M. Sc. was- conferred upon him, and in the same year Miss Hattie Titus, of Washington, Connecticut, be- came his wife. . f - He studied two years, 1890 and VQI. in Berlin University, Germany, and onvhis return held the Morgan Fellowship at Harvard, 1891-92, resigning the same, however, to accept his present position at I. A. C. In 1884 he became a member of the Kansas Academy of Science, and in 1887 was elected to membership in the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Since 1892 he has also been a member of the Iowa Academy of Science. Several papers from his pen have been published in the American journal of Science.

E., ASSISTANT ELECTRICIAN. like other notables, was born and reared, upon a farm, but was inclined to be discontented. His earliest anti-agricultural tendencies were exhibited in constructing instruments of torture, such as pop- guns, for himself and assocgtes. ' His auto-biography tells us that these products of a precocious genius ornamented his home from attic to cel-lar. Such statements amaze us, after reading that when he was born, in Lucas county, November 24, 1872, there were no unusual dis- turbances of heavenly bodies. . Throughout his life, whether attending district school, or high school, he always pursued eagerly mathematical or mechanical studies. To satisfy his thirst for learning of this kind, he entered I. A. C. in.February, 1890, remaining three years, when he stoppedto work as an electrician in Chicago. During his college course Mr. D. tells us he had many unpleasant but profitable experiences and confided to us the secret of his prosperity while in school, but we cannot reveal it. Mr. D. re-entered college after a year's absence, graduating with the Class of '94, and accepting his present position in '95. E. C. BOUTELLE, B. M. E , INSTRUCTOR IN MACHINE SHOPS, was born at Plainfield, Iowa, in I873. As he fell in with bad associates at an early age his parents con- cluded to save him by taking him from his evil companions, and removed to Sheldon, Iowa, the following year. In Sheldon -he was noted for being the wildest boy in town and for attending school only when he had to: in this connection it might be well to state that he always had to. Fate and his instructors conspired to remove him from the Sheldon High School by graduating him, june 28, 1889. The following spring he entered I. A. C., taking the M. E.

I I Miss Wilson was born in Harper, Keokuk Co., on Sept. 29, 1870. We must admit that concerning her youth. like that of Jesus Christ, we know C0111- paratively little. A . ' The first great event on record is when at the age of eighteen years she entered this institution, where she remained until graduation in November 1892, when she received the aforesaid degree with highest honors. ln the spring of 1893 Miss Wilson was elected to her present position, having studied during the previous winter at Cornell University, New York. ,While acting as assistant Civil Engineer, Miss Wilson pursued a two year's post graduate course, and iII November, 1894, she was granted the degree of C. E. by her Alma Mater. C O. WILLIAMSON, B. E. E., Assr. IN PHYSICS AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING, was born February 14, 1869, in Washington Co., Iowa. He lived at this place until the age of three years, when he moved with his parents to Knox- ville, Marion county, Iowa. At the age of eighteen, having obtained the education commonly furnished by the public schools, he began teaching. In 1891 he enteredl A. C., taking the Mechanical Engi- neering courseg but changed his course and gradu- ated as a B. E. E. in 1894. He now holds the po- sition of assistant in Physics and Electrical Engi- neering. , q .Since 1894 he has held the' position of Proctor in the Main Building, and by his kindly manner and upright dealing has gained thef respect and admi- ration of all under his care. Occasionally he en- ters into the fun with the boys-on one such occa- sion during the present year 'being called to his reckoning or his boistrousness by his sub-Proctor. It is needless to say that he felt as humiliated as did his reprover. He is an earnest, efficient worker and is very fond of mellow sweet apples and the company of all who keep such fruit. 60 THE BOMB. yB.wEEMs1m.D, V PROFESSOR OF AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY, was born in Baltimore,Md., in 1865. His early edu- cation, in the public schools of his native state, oc- cupied his boyhood years until he reached the age of seventeen. He then entered the Maryland Ag- ricultural College, from which institution he 'grad- uated in 1888. After his graduation he remained one year in the capacity of instructor in Chemistry and Mathematics, and then severedhis connection with the college to enter john Hopkins' University. Here he spent two years, 1890 and 1891, in post- graduate work in the studies of chemistry, miner- alogy, and biologyl The year following was spent in scientihc inves- tigations in Florida, from whence he returned to the North to enter upon a post-graduate course in Chemistry and Pedagogics at Clarke University, Worcester, Mass. From this course. he graduated in 1894 with the degree of Ph. D., and in the same year he was elected professor of Agricultural Chemistry at I. A. C. Here he has begun in the best way by getting married in june of the present year to Miss L. C. Fletcher, of VVorcester, Mass. Although the Professor has occupied his present position but a short time, his genial and kindly na- ture has already won for him the respect of all with whom he has come in contact. I A.A.BENNETT,M.S0, PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY, is one of the best known as well as most appre' ciated members of the Faculty. His class-room is a perfect model of deep thinking, earnest, thor- ough, harmonious work. He occasionally breaks the tedium of the hour with some bright sparkling thought which sends a ripple of merriment over the room. He is the author of a valuable text- book on Inorganic Chemistry, which is published in two volumes and is used by him in the Sopho- more work. Since his birth, which occurred at Milford, New Hampshire, in ISSO, he has held many and varied positions. His career as a teacher began at Carver Green, Mass., and he has been successively and successfully grammar school teacher in Manches- ter, New Hampshire, student, graduate, and post- graduate of-the University of Michigan, instructor in the Ann Arbor High School, and in the Michi- gan Military Academy, professor of Science in the Iowa Wesleyan University, professor of Chemistry and Physics in the University of Chicago, and pro- fessor of Chemistry in I. A. C. W. H. HEILEMAN, M. SC., ASST. CHEMIST IONVA AG. EXPERIMENT STATION, should be duly 'creditednwith being a self-made man, capable of filling the higher positions which a b' ight future holds in store. He is a universal fa- vorite of the students on account of his interesting ways and the enthusiasm with which he enters into the social life of the College. An honorary member of the B. D. S., he is idol- ized by all who owe allegiance-to that organization. The society owes Mr. Heileman a debt of gratitude which can only be 'repaid by- giving him an oppor- tunity to develop his forensic skill and powers as a parliamentarian. Little Billy first saw the coruscations of Old Sol Oct. 16, 1869, at Des Moines, Iowa. Even at the early age of three years he had be- come a professed punster. He entered I. -A. C. with the Class of '89, but, his studies b.eing inter- rupted by an absence of two years, he graduated with the Class of IQI. In 1893 he was appointed to his present position, and in 1894 took his degree of' M. Sc. ' JOSEPH SCUDDER CHAMBERLAIN, M. SC., ASSISTANT IN CHEMISTY, was born in Hudson, Ohio, in the year 1870 Leav- ing his native state at the age of .seventeen he mi- grated to Iowa, his father at that time being elected to the Presidency of I. A. C. Little jo entered the Freshman class and graduated with honor in 18 o. always exhibiting a decided liking for obnoxious compounds and their elements, he did two years post-graduate work in Chemistry at I. A. C ,grad- uating with the degree of M. Sc. 1 I . The interval from 1892 to 1894 was spent at his home in Ohio, but thelove of I. A. C. had grown so strong that he could not resist returning in the fall 1894 as first assistant in Chemistry. The winter of '94-95 was devoted to the same study in john Hop'- kins' University, and he is still privately pursuing this line of study. Though of small stature he has always proved a mighty helper to the oft discouraged Sophomore and a never failing source 'of information to the Studious junior. THE BOMB. 6, MISS MARGARET DOOLITTLE, A, B., PROFESSOR OF LATIN AND ENGLISH, likes to have itknown that she is VVestern born, Western reared, and Western educated, having ,alwaysllived in the state of Iowa. Since complet- ying the classical course in the Central University at- Pella, Iowa, she 'has been engaged in teaching. For two years she was principal of the Sigourney High School, after which she went to Washington Academy as professor of Latin and Greek. After a stay of five years, during which she formed many warm friendships Cas she always does wherever she goesj, she resigned her position, to the regret of all she left behind, ,and accepted the position of professor of Latin and English at I. A, C., where, since 18oo, she has gained the love of all who know her. Inaddition to her other duties she became, this year, 618955 assistant Preceptress, a position for which she is peculiarly iitted. Boys and girls alike turnfto her for advice and are never disappointed, for with a wornan's keen intuition she sees quickly what is needed and proves a valuable counsellor. MISS CELIA FORD, A. B., PlRoFEssoR OF FRENCH AND GERMAN, AND PRE- , CEPTRESS. I No, said the Preceptress, I can't give you my biography. Nothing has ever happened to me of any interest to the public, further than what has already been published. Some of my life has been qlpite interesting to me-portions of it-but NOT to t e public. The above quotation is the only explanation we can offer for the meagerness on our returns on this most interesting subject. We cannot affirm, however, that Miss Ford's at- titude in this matter was anything but natural and appropriate, for had her thoughts been given, fuller expression, they would doubtless have been identi- cal with with those uttered by Hamlet's ghost: V UI could a tale unfold, whose lightest word Would barrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part And eaclh particular hair to stand on end, - Like quills upon the fretful porcupine, But this eternal blazon must not be To ears of flesh and blood. 5 MISS EMMA ELISA PAMMEL, B. L., ASSISTANT IN CHEMISTRY, was born November 17, 1874. at La Crosse,iWis. She is of German parentage. Her early education was obtained in the La Crosse public schools, graduating from the High School of that city. She entered the Iowa Agricultural College as a Sophomore, graduating with the Class of 'o4. Not- withstanding the fact that she was a girl, Class Day found her name at the very head of the list of graduates. Although taking a scientific course her literary talents were not neglected as is shown by the eth- cient work she does as a member of the Philoma- thean Literary Society. ' During the past year she has devoted her timeto post-graduate work in the sciences and as an assistant in the Chemical Laboratory. MRS. ELIZA OWENS, ' PROFESSOR OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY, was born in New York. Her early education was begun in private schools, and by the aid of the Presbyterian minister she was enabled when seven- teen to enter Ripley College, a young woman's school at Poultney, Vermont. When quite young she manifested great talent in music so that special attention was given to music, both vocal and instrumental, during her entire school and college education. 1 After reaching her junior year, she was forced by impaired health to return home. As is generally the case, near the young woman's school is found its complement-a college for boys, and as a natural result on June 16,' 1875, occurred her marriage with Josiah Evans Owens, of Hamil- ton' College, who was at that time Professor of Greek and Mathematics in Cooperstown, N. Y. Shortly after marriage they made their home in Charles City, Iowa, 'where Mr. Owens practiced at bar. Upon the death of her husband in 1885 Mrs. Ow- ens was left alone with her daughter Mabel. Since leaving college halls she had pursued the study of literature and music and now having an abundance of time she decided to teach these arts. But at the solicitation of the Honorable Board of Trustees of the Iowa Agricultural College, she ac- cepted the chair of Domestic Economy in 1887. 52 THE BOMB. MISS MARIE LEWIS CHAMBERS, DIRECTOR OF MUSIC, VOCALISTLAND PROFESSOR OF ELOCUTION,' was born in Tipton, Iowa. For several years she attended Coe College, Iowa, where much of her lit- erary education was obtained. She has studied music under the best masters of Chicago, Cincin- nati, and New York. . ' She is well known throughout the state as a singer and reader. An unusually sweet and well cultivated voice never fails to please those who have the good fortune of hearing her. . In 1891 Miss Chambersbecame Director of Music at the Iowa'Agricultural College and in 1894 she was elected to the chair of Elocution. By efficient skill and industry she has raised both these depart- ments toa high degree of excellence and kept them abreast of the recent growth of the College. The following from the press of her former home at Cedar Rapids is a fair exam le of the notices from every,side: Miss Marie.Cliambers, Director of Music at the State College of Agriculture, rend- ered a vocal solo in that admirable voice and ex- quisite taste that have made for her a reputation beyond the confines of the state. MISS GENEVIEVE M. WESTERMANN, INSTRUTOR OF PIANO AND ORGAN, was born in Elgin, Illinois, where she lived until 1884, when she came to make her home in Ames. Music is her life's work, she having begun its study at the age of six. In 1888 she entered the New England Conservatory of Music, and gradu- ated from there in 1890. Her efficiency as concert pianist and accompanist won the admiration of everyone, and she wasqengaged for the season of 1891-92, and '94 as pianist at the Lake Madison, S. D., Chatauqua. A The winter of 1892-93 was spent in Chicago, studying with W. E. C. Seeboeck, and in the spring 9fA89g she entered upon her duties as instructor at Her earnest thorough work during the three years spent here has given a new impetus to the musical departmant, which is now continually out- growing its equipments and demanding an in- creased supply. V MISS CARRIE BELLE SCOTT, INSTRUCTOR OF VIOLIN AND THEORY, spent her early years in Boston, Mass., and in Wil- liamstown, of the same state, although she was born in Iowa. When she was ten years of age her father went to India as a missionary and she re- turned to Iowa, where she has since remained, her home being at the present time in Nevada, Iowa. As a violinist, Miss Scott' meets with a most hearty reception wherever she performs, and as a teacher of Violin, the rapid progress of her pupils is convincing proof of her ability to instruct. Miss Scott began her musical education under the direction of Mrs. Ryan, of Des Moines, taking instruction upon the Violin. Prof. Rude, of Grin- nell, was her next instructor. Q In addition she has since studied with the noted S. E. jacobsohn, of the Chicago Conservatory of Music. With the latter great master she still continues to study. Thus thorough preparation, combined with -nat- ural talent, has made her in every way an efficient and capable instructor. MISS FLORA WILSON, B. L., LIBRARIAN, was born in Iowa, in 1870. She attended the High School of' Traer, Iowa, graduating in 1887. The following two and one-half years were spent at Coe College. From there she entered I. A. C., attend- ing one term and graduating with honors in 1892. She is decidedly domestic, and has been her fathers housekeeper ever since the death of her mother-like a true and noble daughter and sister, keeping one of the most perfect homes and filling dutifully and lovingly the place of her mother: Besides discharging the duties of a housekeeper, she has at the same time held the position of Libra- rian and instructor in library work, Sl11CC 18Q3. She has always had a taste and natural ability for journalism, and has written for publication several pleasing stories which show a most decided origi- nality and the keenest insigfht into human nature. She is also a vocal-ist of marked ability. In brief she is a young person whom all ,like on account Of her winning ways and natural .talentsv tl Tr-IE Bo-MB. 63 ' - '-' Y c SAMUEL! VV, BEYER, B. Sc., P1-1. D., PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY AND ASST. IN ZOOLOGY, was born in Clearfield, Penn., in 18653 he accom- panied his parents to Rock Falls, Cerro Gordo Co , Iowa, during the same year, and 'has ever since been a resident of Iowa. He was educated in the public schools until sev- enteen years of age, when he spent two winters at Cedar Valley Seminary, and afterwards taught three terms of school. He entered-I. A. C. as a second-term Freshman in the fall '86, and '89 he received the degree B.Sc. After teaching over a year in the Marshalltown High School, he returned to his Alma Mater to take post-graduate work in Geology. Being elected professor of Geology and assistant in Zoology, he went to john Hopkins' University to prepare himself in his chosen line, spending the winter of ,QI-Q2 and '92-93 and the entire two years following in special geological study for which he received the degree of Ph. D. in 1895. He held a Fellowship in Geology during the year 1894-95. ' On June 22, 193, he was united in marriage with Miss Jennie Morrison, 'of t he Class of '92, I. A. C. CHAS. W. MALLY, M. sc., ASST. ENTOMOLOGIST FOR TI-IE EXPERIMENT STATION, was born in Saylor Twp., Polk- Co ,some time dur- ing the year 1872, A. D. -He early developed an interest in Entomology that led him to seek indus- triously during his odd moments U3 p. my for the insects which were ravaging the orchards of neigh- boring farmers. ' Research in this direction having been discour- aged in a manner that left a profound impression on his youthful anatomy, he is said to have entered the pupa stage at once, and, in 1891, the Freshman Class at I. A. C. Four years thence he took his B.. Sc., having taught school during the winter to pay his way. After two years of' special study of Ento- mology and Bacteriology he received his Master's degree and the position he now holds. Since then he has made a special study of the Psylladae and of some things somewhat less'silly, and is said to be hopefully looking for a sufficiently malleable life-companion. ' HERBERT OSBORN, M. SC., i PROFESSOR OF ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY, was born in La Fayette, 'Wis., in 1856, and at the age of seven he removed with his parents to Fair- fax, Linn county, Iowa. He was in school atGrin- nell for a short time in 1873, and. entering I. A. C. in 1876, he graduated with his class in '79, with the degree of B. Sc. VVhile a Sophomore, he was placed in charge of the Laboratory and Museum, becoming assistant in Zoology and Entomology after graduation. 4 He became M. Sc. in '80, was married in '83, and became full professor of Geology, Entomology,and Zoology in 1885. He was elected a member of the American Asso- ciation at Minneapolis, in '83, was made a Fellow in '84, became secretary in 1890, and was chosen president in '91, He was a charter member and the first president C87-885 of the Iowa Academy of Sciences, and is a member of the Association of Economic Entomol- ogists, the Entomologists Society,at Washington, the Biological Society Washiiigtoii, and the Ento- mological,Society of France. He was in charge of all Entomological exhibits at the World's Fair, has spent one winter in Mexico, and last winter was passed in biological research at Naples, Italy. ' MISS ALICE M. BEACH, M. Sc., ASST. IN ENTOMOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY, was born at Summer Hill, Cayugo county, N. Y., and at the usual age commenced her education in the public schools. I At the age of twelve she entered the State Nor- mal School at Cortland and later, Homer Acad- emy, graduating from the classical course in each. After teaching for some time, she accepted the position of assistant principal in the City School of Wilmington, N. C., and later, the offer of a similar position in Mobile, Ala. She entered I. A. C. in 1889, with the Class of '92 and, taking the Scientific course, she became a Bachelor of Science in due time. ' ' The two years following graduation, were devot- ed to special study in Entomology and were re- warded by the degree M. Sc., conferred in 1894. She has done original work in certain families of insects and is a member of the Iowa Academy of Sciences. GENERAL JAMES RUSH LINCOLN, , PROFESSOR OF MILITARY SCIENCE AND MINING ENGINEERING, was born Feb. 3, 1845. 'His ancestors, of the old puritanic type, lived in Massachu- setts and later in Pennsylvania. His mother died while he was still in infancy. With his father heaspent much of his early life in traveling for the benefit of his health, his father devoting his time and attention to his son's welfare. He was placed in the Landon Military School, Maryland, when he was nine years of age. Afterwards he attended the Virginia Military Academy and also the Pennsyl- vania Military Institute. His services to the Confederate states during the late war were marked by courage and independence of spirit, winning for him offices of honor and trust. For sixteen years Gen. Lincoln lived in Boone county, Iowa, during which time he was Acting County Treasurer, Superintendent of the Northwestern Coal Co., and real estate deler, respectively. Then in October of 1883 he came to I. A. C. as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. In 1892 he resigned his position as steward to accept the Professorship of Commercial Law and Mining Engineering, and in April of the same year he was tendered the office of Inspector General of the I. N. G. His knowledge of military tactics and his ability as a drillmaster are widely known. The energy and zeal that characterize the General's efforts in whatever direction will doubtless secure to the College a much needed armory in the near future. Those who know him best appreciate him most, and trust him implicitly. His hospitality is unbounded, and many and often are the social pleasures given. by Gen. and Mrs. Lincoln to 'fthe boys. , .

Dr. Welch suggested the organization of agirls' societyg and acting upon this suggestion Sally Stalker Smith, Kate Reybourne Morse, Kate Krater Starr, Sarah Hardy Armstrong, and Rowena Edson Stevens met in one of the girl's rooms, No. 3, Main Building, and founded the new society. Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs Smith were appointed the committee to select a name. They consulted the Faculty, sought the librarian, Mr. Hungerford, Qnow deceasedj and poured over books until united wisdom decreed Cliolian. W ' I In May, I87I, the first session of this society was held in No. 3, a volunteer progamme being given. For many years the sessions were held with closed doors, although occasionally, an invitation was sent to the other literary societies to attend a special session. ' The motion to elect Dr. Welch as an honorary member of the society was lost because he was a horrid man, finally the matter. was compromised by electing the whole faculty as honorary members,bal- loting first upon the name of Margaret McDonald, afterwards dear Mrs. Stanton. Thereyare several references in the society records of petitioning the matron to excuse the girls from work on Saturday evenings. The Cliolians have always had a great struggle to obtain a room suitable to their needs, but now they are pleasantly located in the new WOman's Building. Among the members of to-day are several granddaughters of the society. The Cliolian alumni are well scattered over the states, bearing prominent parts in molding their na- tion's destiny, and held in high honor and esteem by all who know them. A 1 . gs is.

C., but others soon organ- ized and society Work made rapid strides in advancement. , - V , ' ' ,. The preceding issues of the B.o'mb', have recorded much of the history and many of the doings of these 'flovers of learning leaving for 'f796's Bombu to tell only of the trials, triumphs and achievements of the past year. A In 1894, the society graduated sixteen of its members, this being a larger number than that sent out by any of the othersocieties, and as a result the society Was some- what crippled for a time, as the graduated members were society vvorkersof no mean abilities. ' ' I With characteristic energy, the remaining numbers took up the Work and thus the standard of excellence has been faithfully maintained by their perseverance and their devotion to their beloved society. In the joint Oratorical Contest ofthe seven Literary Societies, in the fall of 1894, it was a Philo who Won first place. P And when the decision of the judgesat the State Contest was rendered, I. A.

BACHELOR LILFERARY SOCIETY Lf THE BOMB. 78 History. i The Bachelor Debating Society was organized in the year eighteen hundred sev- enty by a party of gentlemen Whose desire was better and more earnest work than couldbe accomplished in the overflowing societies at that time. In consequence, the evening of july 16th of that year witnessed the opening ses- sion of this society, but vague rumors have come to usthrough the misty past, of strug- gles andireverses, of small membership-so small indeed that any den Was roomy, but the fires of enthusiasm burned brightly, and hopeful youth vigorouslyfeomenued for existence. , The special object of this society, as the name indicates, is the debating of those questions of the day which attract public attention, and which will command the atten- tion of its members and care for their instruction. Believing this to be the best method of preparation for the real duties of life, the society endeavors to maintain a high stand- ard along this line. V Other forms of literary endeavor are required and are second only to the main fea- ture above rnentioned, While perfect familiarity with parliamentary rules is a require- ment, as it is essential to rapidity of a business session. The policy of this society has been contrary to conservatism. Being composed of young men ambitious to place their organization and themselves in the front rank, it has endeavored to keep abreast of the times in all things beneficial and to co-operate with other societies of a similar nature in all that would advance literary interest and train- ing and place it upon a broader plain of thought and understanding. The social side of life and its innumerable benefits have not been forgotten by this society, and often have they graced the banquet board where feasts of wit and Wisdom and 'fgood thingsn Were partaken of in company with the charming members of other societies. a ' v I will :J ff: 4 ,,:-.,-:- --'+R-Q - Q .,. ?: 4 G:- -J ff Q! gl .gT4:::i:-l'-.' 6 X- ETQE' X2 L,,-ii el-.iLQ:f:i..Hwf,.-LL: J' ILT' I 2 1gQ'A f xi T. f- .

Truly the Pythian Literary Socity is 'Cas firmly established as the other societies. Yet all this present prosperity has not been brought about without a struggle upon the part of the ones who were active in its organization. But, no matter with what difficulties they may be confronted 'in the future, all must Grant that they can now Rice to the occasion with a Yeoman that never Falesf It is related in the chronicles kept by this society that, at times, the Hull heart of one Adamson Woodburn with affection for the inmates of Ladies' Hallg and that one day while on a Bierbaum he wandered too near those sacred precincts and tried to Steelsmith. Upon discovering his evil designs the preceptress was stirred by an ex- ceeding great wrath, and this noble decendant of Adam would have been most cruelly slain had not one Houghton been elected sergeant-at-arms to keep the Gallaway. The society is now located in Dr. Stalkeifs lecture room in Agricultural Hall, but is making strenuous efforts to securea more desirable hall in the future., Unlike the older societies they no not rest any portion of their claim for present recognition upon the prestige of their past record, but upon what they are and what they, hope to beg and every member of the society seems to feel that its future prosperity is dependent upon the earnestness of his individual effort. 5 , 'Z W ' -' I1 4, x f aka ., .

With the sentiment of Dryden - Whisp'ring softly in their ears- 'Tis from hearts that courage groweth, Not from numbers or from years, - Thirteen persons joined together A society to form In the year of I87O,- i One September evening warm. The Crescent Literary Society as organized by this original thirteenl' consisted of persons who had previously belonged to the Philomathean Society or to none, and were all of one sex, the privileges of membership not being granted to ladies until 1872. With two exceptions, of which Dr. M. Stalker was one, the charter members all be- longed to the class of ,72, and on that list we see, among others, the familiar names of, Dr. I. W. Smith, Prof. E. W. Stanton, judge LQ Stevens of Boone, Hon. K.. Macomber, of Des Moines, the society's first president, L. W. Noyes, the prominent Chicago manufacturer and inventor, and several others, including men of nearly all professions. Four of the charter members have taken up their abode in other realms, and accordingly are no longer to be found in physical form upon the earth. Prominent among the more recent graduates of the society, we find the name of Mrs. Carrie C. Lane Chapman Catt, l8o, who for years has enjoyed a more than national reputation as an eloquent speaker in the cause of woman's enfranchisement. Her husband, George W. Catt '82, is widely known as a wealthy and able engineer, having? been commissioned for many responsible positions by the U. S. Government. I-Ie too was a Crescent. But we need not look at people- ,Individuals alone- As an evidence convincing Of the Crescents' worth and tone g For, considered as a unit, It has never been behind A In the race for high attainments, . In the onward march of mind. With an enterprising spirit, So we feel that there is reason A Second it has been to none g To be proud of this young band And has oft in college contests Of united earnest workers, Many laurels justly won- Who unceasingly demand Laurels to reward oration, Thoroughness in all endeavors, Declamation, and debate g And to whom we therefore cry- Laurels which in course of nature May the Crescents always prosper ! Have enhanced its fame and weight May they never,never die ! 6 . 9 Q Q 09 do 1' Q Q 0 Oo Q00 'O ooo' 000 900090000 0 oqiapc Gnbqgooof-'Goa 004200 oooe00O va DOaDoQ0oQQgoooo6codd 1, ., Gocoooo oo QGOQUQQ QQ9, Go CQJQQ., 00 o o ooo OO can-0009609 on 0 Q9 0 Q0 'Wo aaa 0 o Oggoouq dc Goo e000 2-Q0 fc G-.0 f0O0o o DQ O DUOOQD DOQO D O o 0 no on a a 9600 0 o.

The Welch Eclectic Society, organized in May, 1888, was the fifth society of the seven now found within the walls of I. A. C., being antedated in time of inauguration by the Philomathean, Crescent, Bachelor, and its ever youthful, though more ancient sister-in-law, Qparliarnentaryj the Cliolian. Being a society for gentlemen only, it was thus thrown into direct rivalry with the Old and powerful Bachelor Society.JgWithin a few years, the Welchmen were able and ready to meet their opponents in' friendly literary or legal strife without fears as to the result. Nor did their ambition cease here. One bright summer morning, when all nature seemed in harmony and no sign of impending disaster was visible, the ranks of the Bachelors were thrown into utter confusion and dismay by the discovery that the Welchmen had audaciously and successfully planned and secured a joint ses- sion with the Cliolians. Subsequent similar events have fully demonstrated that the Welchmen stand ready for war, though strong in peace, and near to the hearts of the Clios. Welch by name they are as truly Welsh by nature, being headstrong and intract- able, that is, strong of mind andphard to beat, and it is said that some of them have been known to talk Welsh on state occasions. Not the least of the many attractionsflto be found in their Society Room, is the collection of famous freaks and curiosities. Among them we may mention a Pool that is always dry, a Devine who never preached a sermon, a cracked Mast, Seth, a little bby who was Prest on but is still Speers, too heavy to wield Ya Mead not usedv for pasture wa' Laying eaglei ' Pennybf 1875 and two fine speci- Y 1 7 mens of rare fossil Irkmo sapiens, var. kirsutum. , - The Society after a year's residence in Agricultural Hall, is again located in the Main Building, this time in the room know before the t'eXodus'7 as the West Parlor, the most convenient Society Hall it has yet possessed.

Fierce eruptions occur which shake the social structure to its very foundation and scatter death and destruction over all. Out of all this seeming lierceness and useless disturbing of established order comes peace, and finally a new equilibrium is established. Five years ago I. A. C. had such an eruption, and we are not without proof to show that its results have, on the whole, been beneficent. Along with the harmony, concord, and kindly equality. which under new social conditions now pervade our col- lege life, we have the added' blessing of a strong and prosperous literary society. The Phileleutheroi Society was founded in I8QO, at a time when I. A. C. was a seething mass of 'rumors concerning plots and counter-plots. A social convulsion was going on, and a new equilibrium was the imperative demand. Out of seeming chaos therelqarose the Phileleutheroi Literary Society. I From the first it was a powerful society, starting with thirty-live charter members, many of whom were among. thebrightest students of the college. The growth of thc society was phenomenal. Its presence was essential to the ultimate harmony of thc literary societies. For a time the others looked at it askance, but it filled its place and soon had the greatest following of any society in school. Again this society proved the rule that our societies are progressive. It was like a party organized to meet some particular emergency, when theiprimary objection of its organiZation was passed it was compelled to establish new ideals in 'order to perpetuate its existence. The times which caused it to appear are past, the members who founded it and battled for it so zealously have passed-from the life of I. A. C., and many of their cherished opinions are foregotten. The society lives in changed times, by new members, by new prin- ciples, joining heartily with the others in the work of raising the literary standard of I. A. C. ' 1,1 1 A X V, K ,a d gr:-1.

The Work of this Association is directed toward providing the means for a broader and more general' culture than the class-room or literary society, alone, can give. The instructor, the text-book, and the laboratory, to be sure, are educational. factors, of pri- mary irnportance, but if an enlarged mental development is the end in view, it is nec- essary that these be supplemented by the quickening inhuence of Contact with the ad- vancing thought of the day. The stimulating value of such contact cannot be overesti- mated. The aim of the Association is to furnish nothing but the best talent that can be se- cured. As a result a desire for entertainments of the highest grade, which is in keeping With the progressive spiritof our institution, has been developed. f At the beginning of the College year, each of the seven literary societies elects three members as its representation in the Association. These members organize and carry on the work for the year, the societies being jointly responsible for the actions of the Assofgiation.

It is composed of three delegates from each of the societies, who organize at the beginning of the college year, holding their positions during the two terms. The duties of this Association are manifold and of the greatest importance. Upon its members devolves the responsibility of arranging for the joint opening sessions of the literary so- cieties, the declamatory contest, the joint oratorical contest, the society graduating ex- ercises, etc. , On the evening of june 8, the joint declarnatory contest of the present year took place. Thejudges-Prof. Newans, of Des Moines, Hon. Fred Brown, of Belle Plaine, Supt. Holst, of Bofone-awarded first place to f'Speech of Patrick Henry, second place to The March of Mindf, and third place to Where is Annette? The following isjthe program in full as rendered: I MUSIC.

Perhaps no event under the auspices of the Oratorical Association. is of greater pop- ular interest than the joint oratorical contest. Preliminary contests in the literary so- cieties decide who shall take part in the final trial. The winning orator in the latter represents I. A. C. in the state contest. A healthy rivalry has fostered ia steady growth and improvement in the line of oratory, and our institution is fast coming to take a place in this line in the front rank of Iowa colleges. The last joint contest occurred Nov. 3, 1894. The judges on thought and compo- sition were Prof. H. H. Freer, of Mt. Vernon. Supt. Merrill, of Cedar Rapids, and Miss Amelia Morton, of Des Moinesg on delivery, Supt. Weld, of Nevada, Pres. Bookwalter, of Toledo, and Deputy Supt. Kling, of Des Moines.

No program is con- sidered complete without music. This is as it should be, and it is evidence of active progress of our societies that they recognize its value as an aid to symmetrical intel- lectual growth as well as a means of entertainment, So the music is given a place in equal rank with the essay, the declamation, the debate. Until the first term of the present year each society placed the responsibility of providing music in the hands of a committee, which committee as a rule, was able to procure -a more or less complete supply, depending upon their success in inducing the musical members of their society to prepare music, and in securing an exchange of numbers with other societies. This method was unsatisfactory for various reasons. While there was no lack of proficient musical talent among the students, owing to the excellency -of the Musical Department, there was a lack of systematic preparation and practice for society purposes. There was not a lack of inclination or willingness in this work, but there was a lack of the efficient results which follow the co-operation and organization of efforts in any undertaking. A The Music Club was the outgrowth of a desire on the part of those interested in such matters, to do away with these difficulties. It was organized in 1895. The scheme of working of the Club is entirely unique among the organizations of this institution and music clubs in general in the respect that it is radically socialistic. Each active member contributeshis appointed share to the common stock of available music under the supervision of the directors. From this fund the Registrar distributes to the societies numbers for their programs in proportion to their representation of members in the Club. This plan of organization includes all the benefits of a socialistic arrangement in permitting more perfect combinations of musicians, more equable distributions of the burdens of performance, more definiteness and regularity of work,' and the uniting of resources for the formation of a musical library,-already well started. It avoids part of the disadvantage of socialistic devices in that it does not prevent any member from doing more than the appointed share of work' and receiving addi- tional glory for blamej therefor. ' It is exposed to this much of the peril of all socialistic devices that it demands for the attainment of its objects, if not for its continued existence, faithfulness and unself- ishness on the part of its members, and a degree of generosity on the part of the societies especially during the difficulties attending its infancy. These qualities have been quite generally found. V' To the energetic efforts of Mr. Wm. E. Hocking the inception and much of the subsequent success of the Club is largely due. ffl ,ii i THE BOMB. 0- 'Jili- CHOIR.

The object of this society is advanced scientific research or to prevail upon Profes- sor Franklin to 'perform some of his experiments. The society is generally successful. It aims to hold a regular session on the Friday evening of each alternate week, for tne purpose ofvdliscussing those subjects that pertain to the work in the Engineering Courses. r Its aim is good if it doesn't alwaysihit the mark. - ' The program usually consists of papers on scientific subjects or the results of per- sonal investigation on the part of its members. Some of the members of the Engineering classes have suggested topics for heated discussions by such simple experiments 'as Testing the Lungs by a Steam Gauge, Amount of Kinetic Energy Lost in Trying to Pull a Partition Out of Place Instead of a Drawing Board, or How Much Force is Required to' Hold a Cork in a Bottle Filled With Gas that will Explode ? r These subjects have generally proven to be of more interest to spectators than to experimenters. I Taken as a Whole the Engineering Society constitutes a great motive power, num- bering as it does among its members several of the most original and advanced thinkers of our institution, noted for its proficiency in science. . gggJ l'1-lll1'-- ll ,,.,, tj ej'--' Q , rj - ' ' 2 --,- 'Heli ' rffnm' - Ci 5 -- -f - -4-- , -H .L .- ---- , ' -. v . 7 ig:- ..:1lL gb C v si F -'S -if ..1 ' ..

This society holds its regular meetings on each alternate Friday evening. Its object is to interest and instruct the students of the Agricultural Course in those practical questions of the day which most nearly concern them. Their programs con- sist of regular debates and the presentation and discussion of prepared papers and are varied and enlivened by an informal discussion or an occasional lecture. The meetings of the Society are conducted with the same decorum that character- izes our purely literary societies, and have proved to be an invaluable source of training in parliamentary usage and the art of speaking, as Well as a mine of scientific informa- tion on all -agricultural and horticultural topics to those Who have faithfully attended. Like all technical societies, it may appear uninteresting to one not specially learned in its particular line of vvork, yet we are sure a visit to its room in Ag. Hall on the night ,of one of the regular sessions, would fully repay the effort. A May it ever continue, as it is, one of the most practical, prosperous. and influential societies in our institution.

C. which is incorporated under the laws of the state, and that its members are elegible to mem- bership of its kindred associations of state and national scope. It does not claim a large membershipg it does not claim that its programs are of special interest to the uniniti- ated, but that they are interesting and instructive to those who follow the noble profes- sion. The Veterinary Society does not ask for great throngs to come and listen to their programs in Dr. Stalker's lecture roomg all they Wish and hope for and are greeted- With iS. ftfit audience, though few. 7, . , THE BOMB. 104 Though the work of the Society is but little known to many ofthe school, the same thing cannot be said of its members. Who has ever visited the sanitary can tes- tify to the professional air the Society's first vice-president-i. e. acting president-can assume when occasion demands, and from the impressions there received may draw con- clusions as to the brilliant future which lies in store for the young man who is always A. Wake. ' Who has not witnessed with surprise the energy and push which Blanche and Johnson display in foot-ball has no adequate conception of the work of the members of the Society. Who has not had the pleasure and profit of conversing with the sage of the Society f.Roopj has never experienced the unpleasant sensations caused by being inflicted with that disease so fatal to poultry. - Who has not been blinded by the dazzling radiance of Meyst's silk hat? Who, while gazing upon Lewis, has not been puzzled with the question, Why did the Texas girls permit him to escape? Who has not gazed in awe at the enormous proportions of Davison's head and wondered at what it all means? H Who has not seen, and pondered upon and been puzzled by the above mentioned things can form no idea of the aim, scope, and work of the Veterinary Medical Society.

The Young Men's and Young Womenls Christian Associations of the college stand for a great deal. Their work reaches out in all directions and is one of the most impor- tant features of college life. In May, ISQO, the Associations were first organized. Previous to that time the re- ligious work of the college was accomplished under what was known as the Students' Christian Association. The growth of the college along social and religious lines is largely due to the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. It is the reception committee of both associations that welcomes new students by meeting them at the trains and rendering all needed assistance in entering and getting settled in their college home. These committees also plan and give a reception to all students at the beginning of each college term, which is a powerful factor in promoting a feeling of fellowship among the students. The Sunday School is an important department of association work, it being di- rected and carried on by the two associations. In conjunction with the State Normal Associations, these organizations support a missionary in the foreign field, the money being raised by the systematic giving plan. The spiritual life of the college is maintained by Wednesday and Sunday evening meetings. , On Wednesday evenings each organization holds its own prayer service in its own room, but that on Sunday evening is a union meeting of both organizations held in the chapel. These meetings are interesting, inspiring, and helpful, Several classes in bible study meet each Sunday, in which thorough and systematic work is done. , , One of the finest hand books in the state was published for this year by these organizations. A i At present the Y. W. C. A. has 85 members and the Y. M. C. A. 135. All stu- dents are welcome to the meetings and are cordially invited to become members. The delegates to the Sumner Conference of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. at Lake Genev, Wis., for this year were as follows: C. R. Ball, A. L. Fales, E. T. Rhoden- baugh, R. R. Landon, I. Mead and H. C.

Its membership is limited to the Faculty, sub-Faculty and Seniors, but all are welcomed to its sessions. Meetings are held on alternate Friday evenings, when the latest scientific theories, discoveries and inventions are presented and discussed. Occasionally the entire even- ing is devoted to a lecture by some member, on a special topic and, at different times, sages from abroad have appeared on our lecture platform, under the auspices of the Science Club, with productions which have always proved interesting and instructive to the students. It is an axiom of science that in order to to be a scientifically accurate and intel- ligent specialist one must possess a broad foundation of general knowledge. That this truth is appreciated by our scientists is nowhere better exemplified thaniin the meetings of the Club where are found workers in almost every department of science, following with attentive enthusiasm the expositions of progress 'in research and investigation of subjects remote from their own special lines. The Club also gives an annual soiree which, by those fortunate enough to be par- ticipants therein, is voted to be the most enjoyable social event of the year. E.51.?7-I .-v- it ,,..

Its probable future is not told however in so few words, for if ever Fortune smiled auspiciously upon the birth of any organization in this institution it was when a look of pleasure overspread its countenance at the natal hour of this Club. True art has long had many enthusiastic followers, at I. A. C., but it remained for the present term to see the marshalling of the hitherto scattered forces. The time was ripe for suchpa step to be taken. September 3'd, of the present year, a notice appeared, callingtogether all interested in Art. The call was promptly responded tog several enthusiastic meetings were heldg and on September 18th a constitution was adopted, officers elected, and the work of organization completed. t The purpose of the Club may best be told in Art. I., Sect. II. of its constitution- The purpose of this Club shall be to promote the growth of art interest in the college and the artistic taste and skill of its members. ' . We would not attempt to prophesy g we would merely suggest and let the reader im- agine that he sees the panorama of the future. Nothing succeeds like success -some of the anembensl of this Club ltafue already inet with flattering success along theta' chosen lines. Nothing succeeds like energy-energy is one of the olzaraoteristiost of the I A. 0. student. Nothing succeeds like that which is deserving of success-Surely the object of this Club is a most worthy one. The Club in launching into the stream of collegeilife is greeted with the most hearty good wishes of every student of the College. GOD SPEED. The Son of Rest. The Sons of Rest claim to number more active chapters than any other student organization in the World, having branches in every educational institution upon this mundane sphere. Whether this claim is true or not We are not prepared to state, but if We were to judge of thecondition of the entire body by the activity of the present or- ganization at I. A. C., we would be forced to decide that the order is greatly on the de- cline. The local chapter has retrograded most shamefully. Time and again have its By-Laws been violated and its Constitution ignored. Members who at one time gave promise of living good useless lives have dissipated the fond hopes of their fellows, and at times have wandered from the wide, tortuous easy way. Some of them have gone sow far as to attend recitationsg many have been suspected of studyingg aye, more, some have been caught in the very act. All this in direct opposition to the constitution of both themselveshand their society, as is shown by the following: ARTICLE I. SEC. I.-The object of this organization shall be the abolition of allforms of labor, physical or mentalg to the accomplishment of which each member pledges himself to refrain from the performance of any Work whatever-even to working the profs-and to aid and abet others in doing the same. ARTICLE II. SECTION I..-Any student who has fully demonstrated his or her ability to get out of work, and who for one term or more has shown sufficient self-control to keep out of work, also all Freshmen who display unusual precocity in this direction by skipping rec- itations and showing a decided reluctance to take military drill shall be considered elig- ible to membership.

This Club was organized in April, 1895, by a few enthusiastic followers of Ananias who had for some time viewed with great consternation the alarming prevalence of truth at I. A. C. Verily,l' thought these adherents of Munchausen, Usomething must be done or we shall lose all the prestige which We have gained in our specialty and may even be looked down upon because of our unquestioned prowess as prevaricatorsf' Such being the mortality of the College atmosphere, it became perfectly evident to Tom Franklin and Harry Dyer that they must organize their forces and keep on the right side of the law of the ffsurvival of the fittestf' i. e., 'fthe fittest not to survivef, The step which they took in consequence of this resulted in the organization of The Ancient Reckless and Independent Order of I, A. C. Prevaricators. Since its foundation the Order has had a most phenomenal growth. The License which they issue has been in great demand both at home and abroad. h They are es- pecially valuable to politicians, fishermen, girls seeking to allay the suspicions of the preceptress, book agents QSchulte got onej, and members of the BOMB Board. Nor has the Order ever known a single disasterg not one dark cloud has ever appeared above the horizon of its future prosperity excepting the partial back-sliding of Short Hartman. Starting with ten charter members, the Order now numbers twenty-three active, twelve associate, and three honorary members. It is still growing, and, in the future, hopes to include many of the Faculty. Harry Bowen. Harry E. Dyer. Roger C. Mills: I. W. Crawford. T. Z. Franklin. Bob. Bigelow. W. E. Hoxie. I. W. Oliver.

J Tnlijles. ww ,W one familiar with college life can have failed to notice the interest taken in athletics of all kinds in the colleges and universities of to- day. The base ball nine, the foot ball eleven, and the track team s W8 furnish the principal subject matter for the conversation of the col- lege undergraduate during his leisure hours, and it may appear that' too much of the students' time is spent in such pursuits. However f f all 5 A -. i', - if the influence of athletics upon the deportment and the moral tone of the student body is for the better. There is a certain amount of animal spirit in the college student which will expend itself, if not with the consent and encouragement of those in authority in vigorous and manly sport, then Without them in making night hid- eous vygith Vungovernable freaks and unaccountable escapades. The public is settling more land more to the conviction that physical exercise, rightly directed and systemat- ically pursued, is of the greatest importance to mental, as well as physical health and vigor, and the authorities of our colleges have come to recognize athletics as a factor in college life and to direct and control them so that the greatest good may result. X The originof college athletics dates back almost as early as the colleges themselves, but until about thirty years ago they were 'simply unorganized school-boy sports, furn- ishing passing amusement and recreation. Now they are serious, absorbing pursuits, scientifically studied, to which are devoted the highest qualities of courage, skill, and endurance in their accomplishment, the greatest resources of experience, foresight, and generalship in their command, and the best organizing and business ability in their man- agement to be obtained in the student body. The older,'larger, and richer colleges and universities of the East were naturally the cradle of athletics in America. At Yale and Harvard, about 184o, there sprungiup an annual game of foot ball between the Sophomore and Freshman classes, which game has- survived to the present day. To call these class scrimmages foot ball is perhaps to apply a misnomer, if we may judge them from a contemporaneous description of agame in which .participants charged and scrambled with a most healthy rivalry, but in which all knowledge of foot ball,was too evidently lacking. Theyear 1876 brought the formation of the first Intercollegiate Foot Ball Associ- ation, and the adoption of the Rugby rules. Since then the popularity of this game has increased in the colleges and universities until it bids fair to become our national game. Meanwhile the other branches of athletics were receiving their share of attention. 1863 saw the first organized games of base ball. The sport spread with surprising ra- pidity through the colleges, and soon the college teams met on equal terms the mighty Redstockings, Lowells, and other professional teams of like note. In 1868, Yale, for the f1rst,time, met Princeton on the diamond. This, it will be understood, was a tfnaturalv sort of a game-a game in which the outcome depended more on the individ- ual capacities of the players than on team play, or training, or science. iig THE Bone. The first Intercollegiate Base Ball Association was formed in 1879 and included the leading colleges of the East. Since then the various nines of the leading universities have attained a high degree of excellence, ranking in ability but little below the profes- sional teams of the National League. The game of lawn tennis, first played in this country in 1875, was long a popular sport among college students before it became an object of intercollegiate strife. The first Intercollegiate Tennis Association was formed in 1883. Track athletics of all kinds have from the earliest times found favor in the eastern colleges. Amateur record were iirst taken in 1885. The following year the organiza- tion of an Intercollegiate Association and the presentation of the challenge cup-now commonly known as the Mott Haven cup-served as a great stimulus to athletics, and may be taken as the starting point of modern athletics. 4 Such, brieiiy stated, is the origin of college athletics of to-day. Like the famous Ustar of empire the athletic spirit westward takes its way, and while we still look to the East for the greatest development and the most nearly complete system of athletic training and culture, the spirit is gradually growing in ithe West, just as the standard of the colleges themselves is being gradually raised to the level of the Eastern Colleges. In most of the states of the Middle West state intercollegiate athletic associations have been formed. Above these stands the Western Intercollegiate Athletic Association, formed in 1894 and including nearly all the leading colleges and universities' of the Mid- dle West. It is evident from the work already done by this association that the college athletes of the West deserve recognition, and will in the near future meet in athletic contests upon the track, the diamond, and the gridiron the champions of the East and win their share of honors. The last meeting of the W. I. A. A., held at Chicago, june I, 1895, deserves special mention. Two American college records were tied and twelve new ones were made for the W. I. A. A., the records as a whole comparing very favor- ably with those made the week previous at Berkeley Oval. The work of the athletes of Iowa is of the highest order. I. A. C. takes pride in the record made this summer by her sister competitors. At the W. I. A. A. Field Meet at Chicago, Grinnell won second place, while the State University in competition with the leading colleges of America, took fourth place in the Mott Haven contest. john V. Crum, Iowais phenomenal sprinterfideserves more than passing mention. He is per- haps the swiftest short distance runner that ever competed in 'any intercollegiate con- test. At the last Field Meet at Berkeley Oval he won first place in the loo-yard and the 220-yard races, equalling all previous records in both events. The week following he duplicated his performance in the W. I. A. A. Field Meet at Chicago. , The first athletic organization at I. A. C. was formed during the spring of '91. Its object was to provide a home field day each term, and send representatives to the State Field Meet. The following year a Base Ball Association and a Foot Ball Association were formed to support the college teams which were to represent I. A. C. in the inter- collegiate games. In the spring of 1893 a Tennis Association was formed. n For one year these four associations worked independently of each other, despite the ovious fact that they each had the same objects in view-the advancement of ath- letics at I. A. C. and compelling other colleges to recognize and tremble at their prow- ff 552351,.ef5-,f:g:-24..:g:.:-ffw.2.-125: .-:,1:::-- -'.1-'-lg-5. ::-P !...f1 1.2.x ' - ' . : - Z'E-51 -Erffiiizlkx 41-41.1.Z 1.2?f55::2E:f --:,:E1'5S2-2 5+ -Q31 ,,Z ' 22: -. .12 . .' - 1 1'I '2. ,, .. 1451 5gz:::.s,-wx-A - : sa:-,5..-'5.g.:g:g.': qg:gg:5g:1:g3::.g,1'- ..I3.-.3.1.3.:,l3.:,?5a.:5.,-...- 3 - 3. 1 N . 2- ' X ' .'

A. C. ATHLETES AT HONIE AND ABROAD THE BOMB. izr ess. The four associations did good and noble work, but it soon became manifest that there would spring up rivalry and dissensions among them over the patronage of the students and support of the College. Such a condition of affairs would be fatal. In union was strength: and so a Union Athletic Association was formed and all the fag- ends of a desultory system of athletics was gathered up and truly systematized. The plan upon which the Union Athletic Association works is simplicity itself. Full charge of all departments of college athletics is given to a board of directors, consisting of two members from the Faculty and one from each of the four classes. Though the mechanism of the Association is the very exemplification of simplicity, its results are far-reaching. Through the efforts of the Board of Directors the trustees set apart eight acres of ground, lying west of Morrill Hall, to be used for an athletic park, and voted the sum of S200 to be used in fitting up the same. A considerable sum was also received from benefit lectures given by Gen. Lincoln and Dr. Stalker. A one- third mile track has been built, tennis courts, base ball diamond, and foot ball grounds constructed, and strenuous efforts are being made to secure an ample amphitheatre dur- ing the coming year. which when it is completed will complete one of the finest athletic grounds in the state. At the opening of the present term the Association found itself in somewhat strait- ened circumstances, owing to heavy expenses incurred in support of the base ball and track teams during the spring term. To furnish the necessary supplies for a foot ball team, provide a coach, and pay traveling expenses of the eleven meant an outlay of about 5500. In the face of these difficulties the manager of the foot ball team hesitated, debating the question of organizing a team or not. Then the true spirit of I. A. C. man- ifested itself 3 meetings were held and committees were appointed to canvass the stu- dents and raise the required sum. The Faculty, students, and citizens of Ames alike came to the rescue, and in a few days the necessary amount was subscribed. The I. A. C. already occupies a prominent place in the athletics of the state, and, judging from the rapid progress made in these lines during the last few years, we may reasonably expect that, in the not distant future, her fame in athletics-whether on the track, the diamond or the gridiron-as well as her fame as an institution of learning and culture, will extend beyond the boundary lines of our own state, and, in the onward march of progress, take rank with the foremost of the land. Base Ball. Ye ghosts of the departed base ball heroes of I. A. C., who for two long years met upon the diamond every team of repute which the colleges of Iowa might organize and still held the silver bat, we come to you with the mournful record of two unsuccessful years. Yet with these unpleasant facts there are seen, in dim outline, the approaching and future prestige of the I. A. C. team, bringing tidings of comfort and joy to the now disconsolate supporters of base ball at our college. O, ye venerable ones, it is an old tale to you now, the account of the formation of the Iowa Intercollegiate Base Ball Association. You knowfull well how that Association S 122 THE BOMB. ' was formed by I. A. C., S. U. I., Drake University, and Grinnell in the spring of YQZQ how that year I. A. C. won the trophy fa S40 silver batj which was to make glad the hearts of the Champions, how the next spring Cornell rapped for admittance into the I. I. B. B. A., and admittance was granted herg how the state championship for 1893 was a tie between Grinnell and I. A. C. and the trophy therefore 'remained with I. A. C.g this is all familiar to you., for you were there and did it, but O, ,ye shades of our depart- ed skillful twirlers of the frisky sphere, listen to the sad record of a younger, less gifted and infinitely less fortunate generation. Prepare to wield the kerchiefs of thy celestial habitations and shed the ,briny symbols of sympathy. The season of 1894 we thought to hold the silver bat as you before had done, but the long haired, wild, and dusty men of Grinnell came and applied such force to the fatal sphere and Trilbied it so swiftly around the diamond while it was describing the resulting parabola that We all perforce gave them our dearest treasure, the silver bat, to induce them to go home. When they had taken it away, we grew repentant and de- termined to make them adopt the principle of reciprocity in 795, but alas! we forgot S. U. I. The outlook for a base ball team at the opening of the season of 1895 was not very encouraging, German being the .only one of the. old players to' return to college. Our team, composed almost entirely of new members, was to meet the veteran teams of the other members of the league. However in the face of all these difficulties practice was begun almost before the winter's snow had melted. German was elected captain, and with great energy and perseverance he began at once what seemed the hopeless task of forming a team from almost entirely new players. Under his efficient coaching a team was organized which met some of the strongest amateur teams of Iowa. The first game of the season was 'played on the home grouuds, April 13th, against the Des Moines Y. M. C. A. team, the visitors being defeated with a ,score of I6 to 1. In order to create a greater interest in base ball, aseries of class games were played. The first one of these was a hotly contested game between the juniors and Seniors which resulted in a victory for the latter, owing to the fact that the Juniors, battery was in poor condition, having played a hard game the day previous. The next game, an ex- citing contest between the Sophomores and Freshmen, was won by the former. The Sophomore team followed up this victory by triumphantly defeating the Seniors. Have ing won a majority of the games. they became possessors of the silver cup, the reward of championship offered to the winning team by the board of directors of the association. The first league game was played with S. U. I., May 3d, upon the home grounds. It resulted in a victory for the visitors, the score standing I4 to 4. Drake University having withdrawn from the league early in the season, and S. U. I. havingjpreviously defeated both Cornell and Grinnell, this was the deciding gamevof the season, and S. U. I. thus became guardians of the silver bat for one year at least. On the following Wednesday I. A. C. met Grinnell upon their own grounds, and was defeated II to 4. ' The game against Cornell was played at Mt. Vernon, May 25. The I. A. C. clearly had the stronger teamiand would easily have won but for the incompetency of the um- pire, a Cornell man, whose unfair decisions gave the game ton protestj to Cornell With a score of 5 to 3.

They who hope to excel in this department now hope to gain their longed for proficiency as a re- sult of long, hard, systematic training. Tennis is no longer merely a pastime, en- dulged in during pleasant recreation hours in the grateful shade found on the eastern campus. .Tennis demands of its votaries as much iabnegation of self as do any of the other departments of athletics. , Tennis is nowlajregular feature of college athletics. The association at I. A. C., in union with the State University, Grinnell College, Cornell College, Penn College, Simpson College, the State Normal School, and Iowa Wesleyan University, takes an active part in the Iowa Intercollegiate Tennis!Association. The aboved named Association was formed in 1894. Before .this I. A. C. had already figured quite prominentlyiin 'tennis contests, the first being at Des Moinesin the spring of 1893, the second at Grinnell the fall of the same year. In the first meet I. A. C. won second in the doubles, and in the second meet won first honors in doubles. The lirst annual tournament-of the Iowa Intercollegiate Tennis Association was held at Ames in the I. A. C. Athletic Park on May 17th and 18th, 1895. Five col- leges were represented, Penn, I. A. C., Grinnell, Cornell and Simpson. All had repre- sentativesiin the gentlemen'sj singlesfand doubles, while but three, Simpson, I. A. C. and Grinnell, hadientries in the ladies' events. The opening game of the tournament was the gentlemen's doubles between I. A. C. and Grinnell, which was won by the latter. Simpson won easily from Penn, and Grinnell defeated Cornell, but was unable in the finals to cope with the brilliant playing of Simpson, Simpson therefore won the State championship in the gentlemen's doubles. I25 THE BOMB. The ladies of Grinnell defeated the Simpson ladies in doubles, to be in turn beaten in the finals by I. A. Cf-the honors in this event going to I. A. C. In the ladies, singlesgl. A. C. and Simpson were first matched against each other the victory going to the latter. Grinnell next defeated Simpson, thus winning first place in singles. - E Grinnell and Cornell played first in the gentlemen's singles, the former winning only to suffer a defeat at the hands of Simpson. Through the entire tournament the representatives of I. A. AC. played good tennis, and from the record made in this meet we may reasonably expect I. A. C. to be a leading candidate for tennis honors in future tournaments. TENNIS TEAM. Manager, - - J. W. OLIVER Captain. J. R. DAVIDSON GENTS, DOUBLES. J. W. Oliver A. C. I-Ielmer GENTS' SINGLES. Geo.

Fully as great astonishment awaits the one who notes the advance made in I. A. Cls foot ball record of the past few years. Truly since foot ball entered I, A. C. in the fall of '92, what have our players wrought! In '92 two games only were played-one with State Center, a tie, the other with the Des Moines Y. M. C. A. team, a victory for I. A. C. In the fall of 793' foot ball languishedg it was difficult to get enough men to practice to form one eleven. Biit two games were played that year, viz., one with Grinnell and one at Mt. Vernon against Cornell College. Each games resulted in a defeat for I. A. C. However these games inspired confidence in the I. A. C. .playersg both games were lostby a narrow marging and that our men with no coaching and very little practice could play close games with veteran teams prophesied what, with proper training, the I. A. C. team could do. The next year tells a different tale. The history of football for the season of '94 is a record of unprecedented success. During that season the I. A. C. team met on the gridiron the strongest teams of Iowa, won six victories, and experienced but one defeat. This remarkable record is in a great measure due to the thorough system of training undergone. Through the instrumetality of the board of directors of the Athletic Association, W. P. Finney, formerly of Purdue University, was secured to coach the teamg and much of the success of the team that season can be credited to his excellent work as coach. The first game of the season was played at Webster City on the second of Septem- ber against a team from Ft. Dodge. The game resulted in a victory for I.

THE BOMB. .27 a score of 46 to O-a score wnich bears evidence of the splendid work of the I. A. C. team. Twice only during the game did the Ft. Dodge team gain the necessary five yards in four downs, while I. A. C. lost the ball but once on downs. ' The neXt game was played with Grinnell College at Grinnell, Saturday, Sept. 29. Here a cold rain during the progress of the game was the chief factorin causing the only defeat sustained by I. A. C. during the entire season. The I. A. C. men behind the line were placed at a disadvantage, in that they were all light men, and in making gains depended 'more upon their ability and alertness than on mere brute strength, but the tor- rents of rain made the field so soft and slippery that dodging was an impossibility. Grinnell with heavy men behind the line had a decided advantage in such a field. Given a. dry ground and favorable conditions for playing and who can say that the re- sult would not have been different. As it was, the score was I4 to 6 in favor of Grin- nellg and Grinnell refused to accept a challenge to a second game. The following' Monday found I. A. C. lined up against the State University team at Iowa City, At the end of the first half the game looked somewhat doubtful for I. A. C., thexgscore standing 8 to oin favor of S. U. I., but I. A. C. started the second half determined to win-a number of foul plays by S. U. I. was just what was wanted to spur them to greater effort. During the whole of the second half S. U. I. succeeded only once in obtaining possession of the ball-then they promptly lost it on four downs with only two yards gained. Three touch downs were made by I. A. C., the first being make in three minutes. One goal was missed, so the final score read 16 to 8. The next victory was won on the home grounds in a game with the Simpson Col- lege team. The scoreat the close of this game stood 28 to o in favor of I. A. C. On the second of September I. A. C. 's second eleven defeated the Pt. Dodge team at Ft. Dodge with a score of I2 to 6. ' The following day the first team played the Des Moines Y. M. C. A. team in Des Moines, and thus added another victory to the I. A. C. roll. The score stood-I. A. C., 18, Y. M. C. A. 4. The 9th day of November found the I. A. team lined up against Panora on the I. A. C. Athletic grounds. Panora, having shut out Drake University and Simpson Col- lege, and tied the Des Moines Y. M. C. A. team, was confident of success, but I. A. C. had defeated the champion team of the state, and now did not propose to be beaten by Panoral Before the game was finished Panora had learned something of the uncer- tainty of ,foot ball and the strength of Van Campen and the rest of the boys of the I. A. C. line. The game resulted in a overwhelming victory for I. A. C., the score being the largest of the season-66 to o. This was the culmination of unparalleled victories. The school closed a few days after and I. A. C. played no more foot ball' in ,Q4. I. A. C. may be justly proud of the record made. During the games of the season the I. A. C. team scored 180 points against opposing teams, and had but 24 points scored against them. In three of the games played the opposing team did not succeed in scoring. 128 THE BOMB. No sooner had the present term begun than the foot ball men were in the field practicing for the work' which theyknew must come. Though for a time the financial prospects looked dark, yet the confidence and enthusiasm of the supporters of foot ball never became one whit less intense. Finally financial difficulties were cleared away, Warner, captain of the Cornell team of '94, was secured as coach, and the team re- ceived especially efficient training. X The first game of the season was played at Butte City, Montana, on the 14th of September. Here the I. A. C. team lined, up against the heaviest team in the West, if not in the United States. Over three thousand spectators were in attendance, and al- ternately cheered the hard line smashes of the home team and the quick snappy plays of the visitors. - The Butte City team, composed of old eastern college players, principally, and a few hardy mountaineers and led by Brooks, of Harvard, had a record of defeating every team they had ever met. Their method ofplaying, however, had been characterized by unfairness and pugilism. The I. A. C. team came with a record of playing clean foot ball, and a determination not to mar that record by participating in a game that savored of the prize ring. ' The game opened ominously for the I. A. C. team. Ou account of the unusual conditions of the ground they fumbled the ball severaltimes at the start. Butte secured it, and by some clever fake plays, succeeded in making two touch downs and goals in the first fifteen minutes. Then it was Iowals- turn. Nerving themselves with the re- membrance of last seasou's record, they went down the field like a tornado, and before Butte had time to recover breath, Iowa had made two touch downs and one goal. Another series of rushes and a third touch down was made, when the referee, a Butte City man, awoke to the realization of thte fact that if Butte City won the game he would have to win it for them, and therefore decided that the ball was not entirely .over the line. This closed the first half, the score Qaccepting the unfair decisionj standing IO to I2 in favor of Butte. It was now evident to everyone that the Butte team could-not with- stand the quick rushes of the I. A, C. men, and that the second half must witness a large addition to the Iowa team's score. It was then that Butte began to show the unfair, underhanded work that had characterized their playing in contests with other teams. Perceiving that they could not win by fair means, they began such a series of disgrace- ful fouling and slugging as to fill even the Butte crowd with disgust. In the middle of the half, having appealed in vain to the umpire for justice. and having previously warned the Butte captain of their intention, the I. A. C. team left the field, carrying with them the sympathy of the best people of the city. The refereegave the game to Butte with the score at the end of the first half, IO to 12. Such is the record of the first game played this year. Games are now scheduled withzthe strongest teams of the Middle West,'Min which games we confidently expect to see the team of I. A. C. win their share of the games and maintain unsullied their high standard of fairness. ' ' VVarne1', Conch, Blanche '95, T, L, Rice, Mgr., '92, VVoodburn '95, Lewis '95, Lyford '95, Meyers '99, j.

Team of Eleven Husky Footballers 'from the Iowa Agricultural College Descends Upon The Northwestern University Kickers and Leaves Nothing 'but Touchdowns and Goals gin. Its Wake-Surprising Result of the Opening Game-at the Evanston Groundsf Score 36 to 0. Northwestern might as well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone as with the Iowa team it met yesterday. At the end of fifty minu- tes' play thebig husky farmers from lowa's Agri- cultural College had rolled up 36 points, while the 15-yardxline was the nearest Northwestern got to Iowa's goal. ' A large crowd was present at the contest, which was the opening game of the season on the Evan- ston grounds. Half a hundred followers of the Sunday, September 29:1 Iowa team were present and their vocal organs got lots of exercise. A cold wind swept the field which chilled the spectators, but put life into the players. The outcome of the game was a great surprise to both sides,as the Iowa fellows said they only hoped to score, while the Evanston teams ambition was to pile up as great a score as possible Without let- ting their opponents see the back of their goal. tt The Iowa line is one of the heaviest in the West, running all the way from 220 pounds to 1170. The interference of the team was almost perfect, and the Northwestern men were hurled aside at will and great holes made, through which the Iowa backs poured. The Iowa line was so heavy it would sometimes push the Northwesterns before it right down the field. Many times when the Evans- ton line got so low it could not be pushed, the Iowa backs would vault right over it. if tif Ben Wilson,Meyers,and Parsons were the bright particular stars of the Iowa team. Wilson was in every play. I-Ie broke up plays around his end, he guarded many a runner, and he always hit the Evanstown line like a catapault. Meyers made many of the' long Iowa runs Once he scored a touchdown after a run of 70 yards. Allen, I-Ioyne, and Potter did Hne work for Northwestern. Their tackling was especially noticeable. Mowry. who played left guard, was no match at all for Ham- mer, who Hung him about at will. if 2: FOGT BALL TEAM. F Manager, Captain, n Van Campen, Center. Blanche, Left Guard. S. O.

More interest has been manifested in track athletics during the season of log than ever before in the history of the institution. On account of the increased facilities for training given by the new track and athletic grounds, more men have trained for the different events, in consequence of which there has been a great improvement in this branch of athletics. Much of the observed improvement is probably due to the more systematic train- ing undergone this year. Early in the season a meeting of the track team was held and Spencer was V elected captain. Under his instruction work was immediately com- menced in the gymnasium and continued until the weather permitted outdoor exercise. i3i TI-IF BOMB. About the middle of April the services of a profressional trainer were engaged, and under his direction the work continued until the State Field Meet. The Home Field Day was held on the Athletic Park, May 13, a cold wind pre- venting the making of more than ordinary records. However the contestants as a whole acquitted themselves remarkably well and gave evidence of the thorough training which they had received during the preceding months. The Sophomore Class won the prize cup offered by the Board of Directors of the Association to the class winning the greatest number of points. j A few days preceding the Home Field Meet the I. A. C. Athletic Association re- ceived a challenge from Drake University to a dual field meet to be held in Des Moines sometime preceding the State Field Meet. The challenge was promptly accepted, arrangements were soon completed, and on the 18th day of May, the stalwart men of I. A. C. met the athletes of Drake in equal field. It was an altogether one-sided affair, I. A. C. winning twelve out of the eighteen events. Two state records were broken, viz.: the hammer throw, by Meyers, and the half mile bicycle race, by Read. The Sixth Annual Field Meet' of the I. I. A. A. was held at Grinnell, Friday, May 24th. Owing to a misunderstanding with regard to the entering of contestants, I. A. C. was not fully represented, but made a fairly creditable showing, winning ten points. At the Business Meeting of the Iowa Intercollegiate Association, held at Grinnell, May 25, it was decided to hold. the next annual Field Meet at I. A. C. V The prospect for the future in track athletics is indeed encouraging. The incen- tive which will be given to those of athletics tendencies by the holding of the State Meet on our own grounds must give a decided impetus to the advancing' standard. Our college mustwin her share at leastof the honors which are to be won on her own grounds in the coming year. , I. A. C. TRACK-TEAM AND RECGRDS. Captain, ---- FRANK SPENCER. Manager, - - - FRANK P.

Thelshkoodahs in gravest conclave met, And calmly talked the weighty project o'er, And finally gave this order to the ones .

The nrst hot joke Was on Gourdesses, who one Saturday Had such a picnic as 'was never known To Gourd or Gourdessesfor years before They thought to have great fun without the Gourdsg And verily it may be said that they Had anything excepting a dry time. Days swiftly passed, and passed with joyous eves More plentiful than term had brought before. Seniors and juniors and the' Soph'more girls, Who took ye chem, were given by the Prof. Pleasant reception and a pleasant time, The No Eyes entertained the Ishkoodahs, The Seniors had a banquet, and the Profs Feasted the stockmen in right royal style, The august Governor of Iowa ' VVas feasted by the gallant B D.

On Halloween no tricks were played, and yet Much joy there was that night, of which I wot The greatest fun of all was in Ag. Hall. Through all these days the Senior girls in DO Inflicted on the Senior boys a test By which the profs, might judge if these same boys Had all requirements to graduate, That' is, if they by their four years in school Had been so toughened that they could e'en eat The dainties of the Do-lab and still live, And thus were fitted for the hardships which The cold, cold world had sure in store for them. At length a day came when the Senior Class Had all things to themselves. This clay was called Their Class Day.

But when the winter days began to grow Longer and warmer with the sun's return They were not sad to learn these things foretold The coming of glad crowds again to school.

Q From many places out of many states . Lame students eager to take up again Their work, each with his own especial trend And aim in doing so. There also came Great crowds of embryo scholastical Personages that men have ever called Verdant and trustingly gullible Freshmen These last to prove themselves, in after terms, Peers of the best in all that men approve. A Changes there were on skull and face and lip Of many who had in the terms before Been innocent as new-born babe of sign - Of whiskers and mustache. Yet Oliver, The one y-cleped Sportacious properly, Returned with white mustache which he, was fain To wipe from off his lip before he dared A' To brave unconquered Bingo and- the gaze Of folks astonished. Rogers was the same But that he had more nerve and dared to show Himself in public with the down upon His upper lipg but C. C. Lewis, e'en Brayer than he, wore whiskers all the term. On March the Second, in the eventime, Davy returned with tidings that brought joy To I. A. C., and made the college yell Resound across the 'campus far and wideg For thus he spoke, I, A. 'C's favorite son Has, for his Alma Mater, won a place Among the orators of Iowa. And all were glad. ' But when came Saturday Eventime, a kind reception did the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. give to All of the students of the I. A. C. Ou each one was his name pinned, so that all Might get acquainted and might rightly know The proper appellation of each one. ' Great time was there with class yells and with talk About the hap'nings of vacation time, And pleasant wishes for the coming term. The time so swiftly Hew, while all were so Intently wrapt inlpresent company. That no one heard the warning, or if they Heard it they heeded not: nor did they hear The last bell's tonesg but all at oncelthe light Had passed and darkness reigned while yet the crowd Was in the chapel. Ah! then and there Vxfas hurrying to and fro of fellows who ' VVere parted from their girls! but all in vain, For some there were who had two girls apieceg And these few favored ones- were happy in That they had not been left like other chaps. And some there were who went there with tall girls Returned with short ones or with none at all. Ah! 'twas a lovely night! The next day was The Sabbath. On that day all went to sleep, And in the dining-room partook of pie VVhich was most excellent. ' The next few nights The White Spot had its levies, and there were Initiations held in Freshman Room. The candidates were caught as they came down The stairs, intending chapelward to go. Miss Ford one night appeared upon the scene, But joined them not, so they dispersed. But now The profs began to make the idle ones To hustle so that they had other things To do and think about. They did not have Time enough even to laugh at the caps With vizors huge, which guileful Senior boys 'Wore to astonish all who gazed thereon- Fitted accomphiment of corn stalk canes, But not worn with them.

Agricultural Hall? Then it was said, Now in conclusion turn To Number Teng and everybody sang Whosoever Will May Come with joy. Seniors, juniors, and festive Sophomores Deemed this to be an invitation kind For them to lend their presence and advice, And help the Freshman Class to organize. Then going down the stairs and out of doors lt seemed most natural to join the crowd That, all excited, hastened toward Ag. Hall. The upper classmen tthis includes the Sophsl On coming to the rendezvous, perceived That men of Ninety-Eight, who had been Peps, Were stationed at the door, and so debarred All who belonged not to their class. Eftsoons Some wily wight essayedQto crawl in through A window, opening to office where Professor Wilson may be found by day. Short time elapsed before there gathered in This office valiant men who turned the key That locked the door which leads into the room Where Welchmen hold high revels. Open wide They flunghjhis door, and trooping came and joined The turbtflent assemblage of Freshmen. Then Pandemonium seemed to rise to earth And greet all classes with a fearful din Of yells and motions, class yells met with groans, And divers kinds of wild discordant sounds. Nor would they list to chairman when he put The motion, That the house do now adjourn, But drowned his voice with cries of I object! A Senior then appeared who had the nerve To leap upon the table and attempt To speak concerning different things which he Deemed pertinent to matters then in hand. He fell, likewise the table and his voice. Prof Wilson then appeared upon the scene, And quiet reigned where all before was noise. The Freshman girls went home with Seniors and juniors who kindly came to see that they Should not be frightened by those horrid Sophsf' But Freshman boys-not to be balked by all The opposition with which they had met- Remained and held their meeting, baffling The machinations and the schemes of them Who tried to stop them all good riaturedly. But in the Building busy ones prepared To greet them, when they should return again, With copious Hoods of chilly H2O, THE BOMB. 146 7 But this was all a fake, for later on fa K . , The Freshman president heard such as this- . , I move ou lVlr.

A few days passedg and it was noised Abroad that invitations had been sent To some to cease their labors and to spend A week in peateiandkluietude, removed Far from the madning crowd. This trouble was The last that I. A. C. has ever known Or ever will know of that kindg yet it K NVas not a conflict 'tween the classes, but Between the ones-who wished to have a time Allfl earnest ones. Soon in the halls was heard What all the girls declared to be the yell The Freshmen had adopted. Thus it ran- Oi E Oi I Oi ! We'reI First! Rate! Pigtails!

XfVhen recreation hour came the VVorld . Assayed in vain to stretch the Creameryg But not because of this from Friday eve Till three dclock on Monday afternoon Four boys were missed from there accustomed haunts. , About the last week in thetmonth of March Some lights, located to illuminate The pathway of the late returning ones, VVent out. And never after that their rays Flared weirdly through the dimness of the hallg Nor could they ever after that be found Though search was made. About this time it was An auburn Q?l haired deep-thinking Junior boy Gained for himself, in Senior class in t'Psych, The euphemistic cognomen of j'ock. And there was al o one-an athlete Who throws the hammer almost out of sight - Recited in Psychology the truths . Which he had learned attending Sunday School, And thereby earned a zip and many guys. The last day of the month the, boys and girls Whouafter dinner gathered in the hall ,And .inn the parlor, were all put to flight By vigilant preceptressg and the boys Were driven from the parlor, and the door Was locken. That very eve above that door Was seen a placard, causing much surprise And bearing on its face this legend drear. Notice ! ' This 'Parlor for Trustees, Steward, and Faculty ONLY. The crowd all stood aghast, until at last One venturous youth-curious to learn if he . Might enter and still live-went in. As he Seemed not affected, they all followed him. Then boys and girls sang songs we love to hear When daylight passes and the night comes on Slowly, as though fearing to affright 'I hose hearts that it would heal, presaging calm To troubled souls and weary heads and hands. And thus the month was ended happily.

The First of April was a pleasant dayg - The ground was covered ankle-deep with snowg The girls' played fox-and-gooseg and everyone Threw snow that evening as they back returned From chapel. But- this was not all thefun, For many boys were by obliging friends Told stories which constrained them to go down And in the parlor patiently to wait For maid that never came. Among the girls The self-same trick was worked. But soon one night Thirty of I. A. C.'s most festive sons Chartered' the flat-car for a ride d. t., Went to the railroad Lunch Counter, and ate lfVith great enthusiasm, also sang ' With equal vim the pleasant melody Concerning Ninety-nine Blue Bottles that Were whilom hanging on a certain wall. One Sunday afternoon the Soph'more boys All fearlessly, since hopeful that hirstute Adornment might be grown upon the lip If they but tried, signed an agreement that They vowed to keep. 'Twas thus the compact ran- , We, Zhe zmderszlgfzed Sopkomores, do hereby agree Z0 make zz good homes! afar! in mise a moustache: anal jizrflzerlnoffe, fha! Me down upon the upper Zz?

Their antics were watched by Professor Franklin, who straightway declared That he could do the selfsame feat. He did VVhat he declared, nor vaunted of his skill, But quick resumed his hat and dignity ' And with serenely bland professors mien Went down the stairs and took his homeward way. I Among the craftsmen of the school there was A Weaver, whom the boys did dominate In after days Shakespeare because of his Great recitation made in English classy And he was fain to talk to many girls, And did as he was fain. Alas! it seemed That he was envied for his great stand in. fSuch is the lot of all who gain renown In any of the varied walks of lifel. 149 THE BOMB. T THE STACK WAS SOMETHING LiKE Tmsf E A His den was stacked most horribly, and he Was told that Freshmen had no right to go With maidens fair, nor would he be allowed To go with them as he before had done. Eftsoons there were agreements which con- cerned The weal or woe of many Sophlmore boys: And in Goose Heaven there was quickly raised A tempest fraught with direful effects. At last in chapel Dr. Beardshear spoke In just correction of the littleness Of all who'd busied been in stirring up Among the classes such a sentiment He likewise spoke quite plainly of the cause Of such dissensiong likewise of the What- ls-lt? period. , Now the No Eyes 'gan According to preordination to Make preparationsiforfreceptionikind . To Freshman Class. But consternation reigned Within the mind of one, who, fearful that The girl whom he had asked to go with him Might not accept him, asked a second girl And so had two. But luck would have it that - He had a brother and might give him one Of these fair maids. At last the time arrived When No Eyes should the Freshmen entertain, And publish to the world the name by which The Freshmen ,should thenceforth be known to men. There never was nor ever yet shall be In land or time more handsome maids nor yet More valiant men than there was on that night Assembled in the chapel. Sweetly fell The kindly words of welcome and the words Responsive. Kind and soothing seemed the talk Of Sophomore who gave the class its name. The name he gave,wasj Pygmies, and the ones Who were thus dominated graciously Received it. The No Eyes essayed to sing Their class song but in vainjfor they were far Too full for speech, but, wishing to be still More full, adjourned to other realms to feast On viands rare. Time rolls his ceaseless course, And, rolling on, he broughtgthe hour when The happy throng went hornefjthe lights lwent out, And sleepiand darkness hovered over all. Next evening in the hall two merry Sophs, One Wandering Willie called-the other one Was Hay Stack D er-coolly wore their hair Done up in latest fashion, but they dared To. show themselves upon the porch, where they Were stretched most properly. O, irony Of fate! that he who in the early spring With Dyer effect had led the stretching gangs Should thus be stretched himself l ' That very night both Rice and Johnson ran In hot pursuit of Meyst of silk hat fame, But all in vain, for he would not be caught. On Sunday morning the Virginia Vet Folded his ears arid hid his head ,behindl The sideboard ofa monstrous collarf H e Was not so siderated though as one Who till that day had r1e'er before been seen Walking with girly and on that luckless day Came to a wire fence, and all perplexed, And all flustrated that she could not cross, Was heedless of approaching friend, who told Him of agate that was near by. f'Tis said That Davy can tell all about the samel , The sun rose bright upon the day that the Seniors and juniors thought to play base ballg But set not as it rose, for there was woe ln the lastjhours of its shining. A greaticrowd Enthusiastic watched the progress of The contest on the diamond, and saw the juniors' yellow glowing in the sun, , And heard the Seniors yell, Oh! lnjthatjthrong Tot Bigelow, loyal to the lshkoodahs, . Flaunted their colors, which somelenvious ones Made desperate efforts to obtain. Their names Are not here written down, albeit that The Bomb Board has a list of them, which all May ,see who wish to see. But all this time Steelsmithfon western side of diamond blew In fierce defiance a tin horn at Chick Wilson, who nercely blew for Senior class His own bazoo . The Hght was long and fierceg The sun went down nor did the siars come out. At twelve olclock A. M., from realms ruled by Morpheus and his train, yet Editor- ln-Chief of Bomb was called by voices in The hall, and asked to 'come and view the sights And occult doings of- the Chicken Club.

The next day sweet aromas floated all About the building, and that night was held The greatest and the rarest feast that e'er The Y, M. and Y. W. C. A. fWe use the new name now advisedlyj Had known. The program was diversified. The half was never told. That very week Three turkeys died and went to I. A. C., That bourn from which no fowl e'er returns. Whcin, Sunday came, with moon and evening air, It brought alluring visions of the track And pleasant walk to church and back again With conversation making short the way. But she who guards the girls unyielding grew And bid them not to go. 'Tis whispered tho' The churches of East Ames were not that night Without their martyrs who had dared to brave All wrath that they might worship there. A - Not so Beecher and Mason, for their room that eve Held charms enough for them: so much intent On entertaining angels they did not Hustle around, as they were used to do, For ' Washee Washee harvest in the morn. Not so obliging boys who thought to help Them in their task and in battalions marched Upto the door and flung their washee in. Although the door was tied the birds escaped: And Beecher, volatile as ever, told About the evening's hap'nings, ending with, I'm awfully afraid this will get in The Bomb, not knowing all the while that he Addressed zz member of Me Board. The Sophs' And Freshmen's base-ball nines contested on The diamond in a battle royal, long To be remembered, even though 'twas said, 'Twas very close-close to a freeze out for The Freshman nine. But what could mortals do Who' played against invincible No Eyes, Whose awful yells strike terror to the heart, Unnerving all who hear their frightful din. Burt German staked his shekels on the game, And lost, and mourned for them for many days. - Munchausen's followers and they who seemed To do as Ananias did of old Met in high conclave and adopted rules 'Which they thenceforth would all be governed by, And also to elect their officers. , This Liars Club is elsewhere spoken of. . The passing hours of April 28 Brought anguish and defeat to confident Suckers. The last rays of the setting sun , Shone on victorious Sophornoresg for they Had won the cup for which all classes strove. Upon salt-barrels stood the doughty Sophs, And blew their horns, and gave most fearful yells, And rattled quite the Seniors' catcher, joe, And when the game was won the players were Carried in triumph to the motor, that They might go d. t. and regale themselves. A special motor brought the heroes backg And on the campus was a grand display Of fireworks, to tell of Soplfmores' joy, Yells, whistles, horns, and every sort of noise lfV21kCllCCl the welkin through the evening air. 151 THE A car-load of pipe organ came: and the Small boys of l.

In future days, two papers, that had been Writ for exam and looked o'er long before, Came back to meet the gaze of her who had The author been of one and knew who was The author of the other. At the top Of one was written these quaint lines in verse- He was won, she was won, Roaming 0,67' the lzeatherg But bqfbre the year' was done They were one together. 7' They came not by the air-line, how they came A mystery was, not quickly to be solved.

O'woe to him who left Letts in his den And angels' food in trunk! for cunning ones Got Letts to leave the room on pretext' that A lady wished to see him in the hall. And while in lower hall he patiently Waited for maiden out of sight and doomed To stay so, these same cunning ones break The transom, and then deftly swipe the cake.

Down the long motor track that leads to Ames In early afternoon they took their way. They had great baskets full of luscious things To eat: the weather rainedg but what cared they, Although the grass was wet? In evening time This festive crowd returned most merrily, All armed with great umbrellas, on which hung In gay festoons the brightest of tin cups. They marched Salvation-Army-style across The campus singing songs like this- THE PICNIC WAIL. BY FLORA VVILSON. Air- F0zmd nz Peanuz'. Found a spider! found a spider!

VVhere,d you find it! etc. n the standard of Cn May the oth, the Hocking Music Club Held its grand opening, and all were gla That-the societies would thenceforth be Assured 'of music good and plenteous. Three maidens fair, who in the evening Sung azure bottles from indefinite Or hgurative wall, were asked to singg d had But, nog their hearts were sad and they could not So blithely warble as they'd done before. The next day was home Field Day. Everyone Of athletic tendencies was there To see the sports and witness greatest feats Of strong and agile men. All classes stroveg But 'Victory perched on the standard of The No Eyes, and vociferously crowed- As well she might. The Suckers could be seen, Likewise the Pygmies and the Ishkoodahs, fThe No Eyes were completely out of sight.J With downcast looks. That night in dining-room, Despite the proctor, was sent up tt yell Of exultation at the victory. A little Senior in south tower was About this time engaged on drawings which Were Irish and comic and which he Enclosed with deftness in square envelopes AI THE BOMB. I 155 And sent on secret missions to the north, While chuck'ling to himself. The nights were fair, The moon was full, the air was balmy, and The time seemed suited forlong moonlight walks Upon the campus, but none dared attempt Such rash and desperate deed. Surmising that t Asharp lookout was kept, two boysfone dressed In females costumef-boldly walked across The moonlight space, and thus aroused the one They wished. She raised a vain pursuit, but all In vain, and all conjecture came to naught. On Saturday Professor Pammel and Professor Osborn led a mighty crowd To Nature's fairest glens to see the cliffs, To gather plants most rare and beautiful. K And stop in Boone. Upon the railroad bridge, NVhich marks the spot made famous by the deed Of brave Kate Shelly, Beecher, quite as brave As she, with one arm saved the life of one Of whom he'd been lang worthy of, the while A freight train of six sections thundered by Above their heads, Great times there were that da . VVild was the crowd, not more so tho' than he Who led them there, for ever in the van Was seen Professor Pammel's auburn hair. Again that night boys masqueraded on The campus. And the Liars' Club was fain To hold a meeting in the graveyard dim, But one net of their number came, and they Concluded it was time to go to bed. ' A bonfire on an evening following, By wily agent for extinguisher Of tire, was built near athletic grounds. Some boys were covetous of the machines, But Stebbins watched them well for fear they might Be stolen to be used in future times To duck the proctor with. To entertain The trustees of the college, many boys Indulged in a hilarious good time, By throwing baked potatoes. singing songs, And dancing in the parlors, making noise lVIore loud by' far than had before been heard That term. An omnium gatherum met in The chapel to list to the awful sound Of yells, which emanated from the brains Of yell committee Herce and boisterous. Four yells were given thereg but one all deemed Was better than the rest. and therefore all Determined it should be the College Yell. But two days had to pass until there was A lecture given in the chapel by Child of this 'wakening western land, who has Challenged the admiration of the world With poems rich and rare-rich in a true Sympathy for all human pain and toil, And rare ian their simplicity. His name Is Hamlin Garland and his home the heart Gf everyone who listens to his lays. The eighteenth day of May was Saturday, And all the athletes of I. A. C. ' Contested with the athletes of Drake To see who might the greater prowess prove. The knights of old in times of Table Round Never in held at Camelot, nor yet In fiercer jousts when they. erstwhile Knights errant, wandered into unknown lands And dared a thousand deaths, did not surpass In anything these knights of I. A. C. They went, and saw, and-like the noblest Of all the Romans-might have sent back word, Veni, Vidi, Vici, which words mean, In common parlance, Drake is in the soup. On Sunday Hamlin Garland taught the crowd That came to listeng and the choir sang Most sweetly from the gallery. Alas! Sheet music fluttered slowly through the air Upon the heads below. When Monday came Bringing its opportunities and toil, Prex interviewed a number of the boys Who had before been festivous. That night The motor bore five gloomy boys to town, Nor bore them back until a week had passed. And now for many nights strange sounds were heard About the witching hour, as of boys And cowbells chasing madly through the halls.

THE CHOIR IN THE GALLERY- 1 I THE BOMB. 157 Then Dr. Beardshear had the students vow Allegiance to the tlag. Then, marching south, With ammunition they were all supplied. Heroic'ly they charged upon Ag. Hall, Yelling and firing the while. The C1'OWQi Dispersedg the smoke soon rolled away: and there Was heard no sound, excepting now and then Some random shot in heaven. ' Supper o'er, A great crowd gathered on the campus. While The band played, Little Billy danced with glee, A sign, Museum Open, on his back. The crowd, with ill-concealed derision, danced Around him, and he thought himself to be A little sun with many satellites. . And then Professor Franklin thought to teach The boys new tricks, and. with Ike Christy for A keeper, waltzed around in the 1'ole of A common every-day ltalian bear, Performing antics such as ne'er before Had bear of Dago done, the crowd the while Laughing as only students learn to laugh. The crowd dispersedg some went d. t. to see X The wonders done by hypnotist-with this Crowd Davy might be seen-and some to hear ' A lecture by Doc Stalker, but it rained And so the motor no one cared to miss. Again on Sunday evening Fred. Lazell Down home took supperg and he stayed so late That people, waiting long for him to come Who had been wont to keep the library, Grew quite impatient, and at last crawled in Through windows: at which he was greatly wroth Aye, and early one bright morning he was seen I-lastening toward the Building with a lamp!- A great boy truly, still what use had he So early in the morning for a lamp?

There was heard At dead of night a painful scraping noiseg And in the morning there was seen no sign , Of mustache on the lip of Sophomore. On june the 4th, in special chapel, all f Were told that they had not behaved their best While the trustees were here, and asked to be Good children while the other folks were here, For soon alumni were to come en mass. The time that Lincoln gave reception to His officers, the little major of Battalion secundus, in greatest glee, Hastened to meet the train which goeth south In evening time, but he did not come back Upon the special motor-moon too good. For many days this little major was So happy he could not contain himself, And neither could his room. The Science Club Had but to beckon and the weather-man Told what he knew, and told it pleasantly. The eve that followed these disclosures, the Declamatory Contest roused the throng.

They took our places in the dining-room, They stopped the students going to exams, To talk about the times they used to have: And all were glad to have them come, but still The Profs piled on the work, nor mercy knew. On june the twelfth, the I. A. C. cadets, Undaunted by the falling I-IQO, Upon the campus a sham-battle fought Most valiantly. Also the governor Of Iowa,fan erstwhile student of The I. A. C., addressed the-students while The rain slid off his umbrella. ' That night A banquet rare was given by the profs To all alumni of the I. A. C. I The day that followed this, the athletes Contested on the track to entertain Assembled guests, and in the evening time They in the chapel gave a program rare, And after it invited all to come Upon the green to eat ice-cream and cake. Pleasant it was in the soft evening air To watch the folks that gathered on the green Around the tables to partake of cream, The while the band played and the couples waltzed Along the level walks. A perfect night It wasfor such a feteg and well the crowd Improved the opportunity thus made For merriment The girls most loyally Ate ice-cream many times with many boys, That the Association might rake in The coin. The time was shortg the lights went out, The boys and girls had not yet all dispersed: Two couples, coming in were met by Prex, At which the boys became afraid and ran Away in haste, and left the girlsg but Prex Called after them and asked them why they tled. 161 THE BOMB.

A So has il clone giqce Time his course began-H Arid yel vxfilhal thy days bring Vafesl pleasures Of glad xfacalion which foqd memofy lreasufeg, Gone--the last Alumni member, quiet now the hall and stair, Dreary itis as bleak December after summer bright and fair. Gone the student, gone the teacher, seeking rest 'mid other scenes, With no care or thought of morrow save what to them its pleasure means. Once again the gray old building shadowed is by silence sweet, Sinking back to Wonted stillness-echo gone to echo meet. They are gone, Home bids them welcome, but alas! some must remain, Some are left to self and silence, silence falling once again. To the past with thoughts reverted, comrade forms haunt every room: Sad indeed the halls deserted, sad the loneliness and gloom: 163 THE BOMB. But not always will such feeling master heart and soul and mind: Where grim Loneliness comes stealing there true Sympathy will find Means to cheer the hearts around her, rifting clouds of darkest gray, Teaching one to help another bear the burdens of the day. Thus it was, by this bright fairy, these lone hearts of I. A. C. Were persuaded to be merry in certain place called hall A. G. There in early twilight gleaming, when the shadows lengthened fall, Came the lads and lassies streaming from all directions to Ag. Hall. There, within the Welch room's splendor, under lamp1ight's softest glow, Keeping time to music tender, moves the light fantastic toe. Long they linger-longer-longer, till the last notes die away- Since the rules are all suspended they fear not thus long to stay. Not till small hours to them beckon, fingers tipped with morning rose, Is Uaufwiedersehenu there spoken and is sought the cot's repose. So it ends, this happy meeting,-- ends, but follows still the rest: Ere three days have passed so Heeting, ere three sunsets gild the west, There again is sound of music-thro' evening's air 'tis wafted far- Sound of mandolin's clear ringing joining with the light guitar. , Hearing which, the lads and lassies hie them swiftly 'cross the lawn, So another evening passes and -another week is gone. I-Iow they Hy, these swift-winged hours ! how they quickly pass us by! Ere we greet the summer Howers comes the Fourth Day of July. Day of days to this our nation ! patriots voice in Hag and song Records of emancipation from a hated nation's wrong. Brightly dawned the morning for us, nature smiled upon the day. To the children of the Campus passed the morning quietlyg Not a sound of Hrecracker, nor of cannon, nor of gung Few were left within the building, all had gone to jefferson, But when sun in journey westward made the shadows longer grow I Then were seen upon the greensward many chairs and hammocks low. Soon there gathered, many numbered, Profs. and sub-Profs., one and all, Each and every one encumbered, basket ladened, net and ball Ears and eyes scarce overreaching-such indeed the loads they boreg Followed dogs and small boys screeching, kindly swelling this uproar. Here in cool shade laughing, talking-this the way they celebrate- Till the daylight, slowly fading, warns them all 'tis getting late. On the front steps elevation gathered now the people are To finish up their celebration with fireworks brought from afar. Professor Bennett with great patience makes the wheels go round and round Prof. Bissell with untiring effort tries to make the moon come down By sending up such salutations that rock the very sky on high, ' While '-Scrub Dickn gains a reputation for making Roman candles Hy. In the distance, o er the tree tops, Hash Nevada's lightning Hamesg In the foreground, very near us, showers of stars fall over Ames. ffThis the last,', so word is given, Hares the last bright streak of lightg . 'Fireworks brought from afa THE BOMB. People homeward steps are turning, leaving all to somber night: Hark! the distant voices singing, borne by soft night breeze to me, Swelling now the tones, are ringing, hark! My Country 'Tis of Theepl' This were all, my story ended, save for telling one thing more-. How in greatest mystery blended came a program in bookstore: There it was in all its glory right before our very eyes, - Telling how a poem, story, reading. singing, speeches Wise r Would be given on certain evening in Crescent Room in Morrill Hall. On that eve, at hour seven, boys and girls there one could see Striving vainly to gain entrance Where no entrance there could be, For by two doors safely guarded Crescent Room could keep them outg Yet however not sad hearted turned they one and all about, Sought the stone steps of Main Building, had their speech in open air, And with happy voices ringing sang sweet songs together there. When ltwas over, some sat talking, some were playing games of catch, And still others Went out Walking down the path toward cherry patch. By the moonlight's dim reflection, stealing long the darker side, Over there, in that direction, a queer cherry tree they spied, Mfondered what in all creation such a thing could ever beg ' But upon investigation found it was a cherry tree.

But Alas! mosquito netting could not keep these people out. 10 I THE BOMB. p 166 But, alas! mosquito netting could not keep these people out! Through this cover soon were holes made, soon four heads were out of sight, But beneath that yonder dark shade lies a form of dreadful might, Who in stealthy silence watches these bold robbers in their raid. All at once an awful growling, snapping, snarling noise he made. In that tree-such wild commotion! jumping! screaming! wild with fear- Breathless looked, with exclamation, Oh! my goodness! -Ierry's here! Fled they then with steps retreating, lingered not one moment there, Waiting not fcr word of greeting, reached at last the College stair. That is all, my story's Written, nothing more can here be said. White winged Peace, your hours are numbered-vacation days have quickly sped A. M. C. Kalendar.

H ' ' 1: In our new dmlng room THE BOMB. 168 Soon once again the campus was alive With busy students thronging back to school, With sweet new girls, with many innocent Preparatory students, likewise with The enterprising second term Freshmen. july the thirteenth, an eventful day, For on that day the first meal ever served In our new dining hall soon disappeared Before the dexterously plied knives and forks The hungry brought to bear: and on July Sixteenth the great eternal college mill Began once more .its great eternal grind. The warm but 'uneventful week soon passed. We had fly meals in our new dining room, The evening ofjuly the twentieth To special chapel all the students came To learn how they had best comport themselves Since things were not as they had been before. And on the. evening following there were Receptions in Ag. Halland Ladies' Hall, For studentsnew and old. The week that followed this was also dull, The -life of I. A. C. seemed all extinct, Excepting now and then when boys and girls Would make a raid upon the orchard, but It well was guarded, and it happened oft That folks who came to fake remained to buy. About this time it was that jerry Orr Began to have a rushing tooth-pick trade. He sold them by the bunch, and thus the folks Who thought to pesterhim were likewise sold. One Johnnie Bull, named Fred, was tak en in Most handsomely by this trick, at which he Retired to his room to kick himself. Miss Anderson bought tooth-picks, Miss McNeill Did likewise-they were both exceedingly wroth. The Pope and the Archbishop through these days Attracted much attention with their caps. july the thirty-first the Music Club Withvigor sung blue bottles from the wall: , 4 Luxuriarii' Augusi. loved of Qase. Too Well We kriovx! my gvifay, Too meekly bovil lo ihy decrees, Thy every rule obey. . Oh, may We do ihe besi frail rqam 'may dog . So may vile grace ihe place Hqal We' are paggirig io. 169 THE And on the next day in the dining-room A bland photographer requested all To now look pleasant, The result thereof ls seen in picture of said dining-room Now Whitney, Hurst, and Sherman formed a club, The object being to continue, so Miss Ford would not request them to get hence. ' A social, on the church lawns of East Ames, Was given by the burly athletes. NVhen all came back they marched by two's along The walk that leads to Ladies' Hall, in the Pale moonlight which was only equalled by The awful pallor of the frightened boys. , An automatic machine within the hall Was fastened to the door, so that it might Count all the girls and see if all came back. It slipped a cog, and some it counted not. The next great time was when the Dagos came And caused more music than they thought to make, And more than we may tell about, albeit We stood and watched the fun. lf any wish To learn what happened, we refer them to NVill Tilden and t'Prep Farwell, for they know just what occurred on that eventful night. The sunrise prayer meeting, on August Sthe The time that T. Z. Franklin waked the boys At 3 P. M to pray as eke they should, Not telling them how motor track wasgreased, The hymn books hidden, and piano strung With other strings than wire. When 'twas o'er The girls and Fred Lazell bethought to ride Upon the motor to the farm-house, but They wist not what Hank wot He did not stop The motor at the farm-house, but he took The merry crowd to Ames, that they might all Enjoy the pleasure of a breakfast at Lunch counter. It was now about the time ' The girls were told they should be prompt at meals, And not talk to the boys, but they should eat NVith all rapidity so that they might V Rush from the room as soon as jingle rung, For if perchance they should .remain awhile Theirobject would be known to everyone. When Sunday came the boys procured a list Of fair inhabitants of Ladies, Hall., And wrote their-names on slips and put them in A hat, and then the lottery began.W- When recreation came the parlors of The Ladies' Hall were throngecl with anxious boys. Suffice to say there was that afternoon A rushin business done at I. A. C. But still for full particulars of this, lf you would sate your eagerness to learn, You are referred to Cave. to Louthan, and To Zinser, and to Adamson, who thought The weather had turned cold and it would snow. And now the time of picnics had arrived, And folks bethought to go to Watson's Well. Sport went, and Laz'zle also, and some girls. They came not back till all the lights were out And all the doors were locked! But Oliver With great agility contrived to climb Upon the porch and through a window, and Had almost reached the door that locked within BOMB. - WVhen he espied Miss Doolittle I I What he thought Or did or said is lost to history. One evening the societies made haste To have their members don their sweetest smiles, An get their pictures taken for the Bomb. The girls put up a job on Sammy Griggs, And so he lost his treasured camera. Which was considered, in those times, to be A joke of hugeness ne'er to be surpassed. - Once more the time came for the Freshmen and The Sophomores to have a festival, And so kind invitations were sent out By Pygmies to the No Eyes also to Ye fiends of .Bomb Board. When the time arrived They gathered in the chapel, there to hear A program not surpassed by Freshman Class For many IUOOIISQ - short, spirited, concise. A social then was held in chapel till The time arrived to seek the banquet hall, Where feast was spread and where they listened to Toasts most appropriate for such a time. For one short time the lights went out, but they Were not perplexed so waited quietly, Assured that all was well. .A twelve o'clock The crowd dispersed, and soon the lights went out In Paradise Regainedn and white-winged Peace Told of the harmony all Classes knew. A few days after this. a girl who once Had been an lshkoodah nor yet had been Forgotten by that Class, came from the South, And all were glad to welcome Edna Meek. A yell of fearful rage resounded through . The Building coming from the room where Griggs Discovered that some boys had broken in And hunted through his room while he was out, In search of pictures whicl1 they thought that he Had taken. After supper there was noise. . Some boys were hurt, and eke some doors kicked in, , And Griggs departed on a kodak trip, But in a few days he came back again. The 29th of August was a day I Which might have brought great grief to l. A. C. 'Tis said by superstitious people, that A tire follows every funeral, But whether this was why upon that day The roof of Ladies' Hall burst out in names We cannot say. Yet this we surely know, A piercing yell affrighted all the folks And told them of the danger threatening. From everywhere the people throngnlg came ln hopes to be of service saving girls, Q Some came from Chem. Lab. dressed 111 Chem. Lab. style, Forgetting e'en to drop the work in hand. ' From shop, from library and study room Ran everyone to burning Ladies' Hall. Soon valiant men got up upon the roof, And checked the flames Cthough Charley Malley was Not there to put it out, 'as when one time 5 He ran excitedly to save the house Where Mr. Sexton dwellsj. The following Day brought the night of the Athletic Ball, Likewise the evening when the lights went out And darkness shrouded us in library. 1 ,f ' f if arg 15 H654 1 ,-5 v !,. P . xx.

' September 3d.-When warning bell had rung And lights in Woman's Building all gone out, The girls all sallied forth to watch the moon Wlxich was that night to suffer an eclipse. And when they could no longer see the man, An awful horror seized the anxious throng That, hushed and silent, waited for the light. But when the shadow passed they all grew glad And passed, contented back to Ladies' Hall, Leaving the campus bathed in calm moonlight That cast an almost holy halo o'er Our cemetery then growing thick with rye. For many days the astime popular With all was that oF Coming Thro' the Rye, One night the choir warbled to the folks That dwell upon the campus, after which They went to town. Itwas a model night For such an escapade, and yet they did Not reach tbe campus much before the rain. September 6th, the noted lecturer, Ventura, chattered to a goodly throng, The while some bold boys emulated Paul, Descending to a room by means of rope. The room, to which they thus descended, was The room where Shakespeare whilom dwelt by night When lights were out, but where he ne'er was known To stay and study. From his room they took His household goods, and moved them to South Hall, And quietly they placed them on the porch ' Where many days they stood appealingly. Shakespeare, the while, disconsolately vowed To be revenged upon his enemies. Then Charley-Cave fool-hardily got in . The room of Rice, Lazell and Mellinger, And childishly put up a Freshman stackf' Butthe was caught. tied, placed beside the pile, And photographed as he lay helpless there Now all these days' the three battalions N drilled ln preparation for the State Fair tripq And boys' and girls grew very skilled in arms. September Ioth, the flagstaff came. The boys Grew quite hilarious at sight of it, And, thoughts reverting to their childhood's days, They placed one spar upon the other so A hundred students teetered merrily. But all this time were preparations made ln glad expectance of the coming Fair: And on the night before the morning when They were to haste to meet the I. N. G. They grew uproarous. Franklin waked the throng With awful din. They hastened in the dawn To leave the campus. Twice the motor came, And twice departed with a merry throng. Before the light had come their train had gone, And they gone also for a holiday. What times they had ye Chronicler dares not lmpart to man for fear it might astound The mind unused to hear of students' freaks.

Americals mission to the nations is to illuminate their pathway to political perfec- tion, and by her example to demonstrate to men the priceless value of constitutional government. The sacredness of the trust sends a thrill of pride through the breast of the true American citizen, and fires his soul with resentment at the mere suspicion of a stain upon the fair pages of' his country's history. I Human progress is one continued alternation of peace and war. All governmental development is marked by periods of tumult and unrest, and that of the nineteenth century is no exception. During its eventful years, 'our nation has passed through crises that have tested her institutions to their foundations. Her fair surface is but newly marked by the paths of Industrial Armies, the red embers of whose Campfires have scarcely ceased to glow. During the past year, as the eyes of this land were turned proudly toward the fair White City, so recently the crowning achievement of civilization, they beheld, on the smoke-darkened heavens, the lurid glare of burning trains, about whose wreckage angry men defied their government and trampeled with fiendish delight on all the precepts of law and order. Wealth has found lodgment in the hands of the few, unrest pervades, the ranks of industry, and the mutinies of labor imperil the rights of property. We hear the dismal wail that capital controls legisla- lion for its own selfish ends, that justice is sold in our courts, that our government is, at best, little better than a form, and has become so corrupt at heart that to separate the diseased portion is impossible. I ' Anarchy, chafing under the restraints of law, improves her opportunity, defies Deity and man, and, laying the troubles of society, supposed or real, at the door of government, declares that it has forfeited its right to exist. Pessimism, alarmed by what she hears, loses faith in Democracy, and tremblingly predicts the downfall of the American Republic. ' Our government is denounced as the embodiment of unjust system, held by the chains of precedent to the tombstones of history, systems that compel the hungry to starve, the naked to freeze, honor to steal and virtue to sin,,' and the voice of Radical- ism is heard, calling for a new Declaration of Independence. But therels a destiny that shapes our ends, and the principles that have guided man in the shaping of this government, and prompted him to guard it in its integrity until now, still live-the dearest possession of the American people. If We are bound to the past, it is only in this, that by the vicissitudes of human society, by its failures and triumphs in the governmental experiments of the ages, the principles of liberty, free inquiry and common brotherhood have been instilled into the souls of men, and that upon the broad basis of these principles our government was founded. Those principles so permeate the organic law of this land that the American people, by the exercise of the right of suffrage, may secure, in legislative hall, such representation as will enact just laws, and may place upon judicial bench and in execu- tive mansion the probity that will rightly interpret and unflinchingly enforce them. To f X THE BOMB. ISO Americans the right of free speech and freedom of the press are sacred, and to them is guaranteed the privilege of entering the courts and securing to themselves the blessings of justice. Have the dreams of Radicalism or of Anarchy a government, or an absence of a government, that can give to the citizen an independence greater than this ? I - ' Examine the achievements of the centuries, study the characters of nations, and, if it be possible, find a political triumph that compares with that of America. Con- sider the achievements of Babylon and Ninevah. Search the annals of mighty Persia, as she pours her devastating millions on the western world. Inquire of Greece what political triumph she has given to men, and' for answer see her dazzling splendor en- shrouded by the pall of despotism. Behold the proud civilization of ancient Rome swallowed up in the surging whirlpool of struggling barbarism, while order gives away to chaos, and time rolls on in darkness. Now from out this mighty whirlpool, turned back in curling eddies by the sea, emerge new nations. Note their movements, Germany with her Luther, France with her Louis XIV, her Louis XVI, her Robe- spierre and her Napoleon, England with her Magna Charta, her Henry VIII, and her Cromwell. Beholding only the dismal spectacle of struggling humanity, weighed down and degraded by the bonds of despotism, the saddened heart turns in despair from these sceneslof conflict and blood, but the lingering glance catches a gleam of hope. Paus- ing for closer inspection, we discern the 'golden thread of destiny, binding events to- gether. The heavy yoke of tyranny has but served to arouse within the souls of men an intense longing for the blessings of liberty, free inquiry and brotherhood. Read it in every line of that thesis nailed to the' Cathedral door, note it in the ring of those cries about the Bastile, and behold its power in the flashing sword of Cromwell. Again these principles seem to die out and be lost. But no! They were born to live, and we mark them Once more, born in the hearts of the Puritans, whose frail bark dauntlessly braves the dangers of an angry and storm-tossed sea, and battle steadily westward toward the hopes that lie beyond. We behold them safely landed on the bleak coast of New England, and, at dead of winter, amid hostile tribes of savages, planted in rough, but strong and life-giving soils, to- grow and thrive, the basis of ideal government. A In America a new era commences in human affairs, distinguished by entire liberty of thoughts and by the protection of the rights of men. Despotism, fearing the loss of her subjects, reaches across the seas to grasp them once more in her gory clutch, but her splendid armies meet, in the hungry ill-clad patriots, headed by the noblest of men, that stern independence which, knowing its cause to be just, acknowledges no defeat, and theirwell-trained ranks recoil before it. The prayer that ascends on the chillingblasts of Valley Forge, from the over-burdened soul of George Washington, is not in vain, and on the waiting shores of the western world is founded a Republic. On the broad principles for which our forefathers braved the hardships of life in a wild and untried country, was based the Constitution, characterized by its great de- fender as 'tthe nearest approach of mortal to perfect political wisdomf' Framed, not by crowned heads, not by lords or emperors, but by the men who had struggled to de- fend its principles, and ratified by the people in their intelligence, it remains today, ISI THE BOMB. I the bond which binds together millions of brothers-its only purpose to protect their rights, and to promote to the fullest extent their happiness and prosperity. Proud product of the experience of the ages, the Constitution has secured to Americans a term of prosperity, of liberty and of happiness unknown before to any people. It has given to this nation character at home and honor abroad. It is the world's great bul- wark of civil and religious liberty-the anchor of Democracy. Is it nothing, then, to the American that to this end the struggling centuries have run red with human blood ? ls it nothing that for this was thundered forth the inspir- ing eloquence of a Henry, or that in its defense was the life-work of a Webster? Is it nothing that for this nation's life have ascended to Heaven the fervent prayers of count- mothers, while in battle's front loyal husbands and sons willingly laid down their lives that it might be preserved? Does it lie within the thought of an American, through lack of patriotism, to cast to the winds the ' priceless liberty thus bestowed upon him, to suffer Anarchy to repeat, in this favored country, the scenes of riotous discord and cruel butchery that made sunny France an object of horror ? May it be far from him, and may he deem it his highest honor to keep from his country's annals the record of such events. A While every American possesses the right of taking part in the choice of his nationls rulers, and while his life or liberty can only be jeopardized by the legal judg- ment of his peers,'f ho.w can this government be bound to the tombstones of history, save through the misdeeds or the ignorance of her people P Wherein is our govern- ment the embodiment of systems that force upon poverty the alternative of starvation or sin ? What is this government but the combined will of the people, and if, in the minds of the people, there is a full realization of their rights, in whose hands lies the power to force poverty to sin, but those of poverty itself? Upon the people, then, upon every citizen, as he holds within his grasp the power for good or for evil, rests the responsibility of the success of this government, or of its failure. In the full realization, then, of the grandeur of his privileges, and the sacredness of his duties, how infinitely beneath the honor of the true son of America to reiterate the dismal complaints of Anarchy and Pessimism, or to disparage the matchless char- acters of the men who are faithfully laboring for his nationls advancement. But worthy of him is it, his bosom swelling with patriotism and manly love forthe right, to exercise in his country's forum the sacred rights which the trials and sufferings of hu- manity have secured. Worthy of him to honor the names of his nation's benefactors by casting aside groundless aversion of politics, because politics have been accused of corruption, and by carrying their work to merited perfection, through the exercise of his priceless privileges. Let fthe American, who doubts his nation's high- born mission, listen to the echoes of the War that gave him independence, reverberating among the distant hills of France, and stand in awe as the irresistible will of her people deposes Monarchy and enthrones Democracy. Let him, with Russials fourteen millions of liberated serfs, re- joice in freedom. Let him see, beyond the tropics of our own hemisphere, despotic monarchy giving place to popular government, and realize that diminutive Japan, in so far as she has followed American leadership, has triumphed over the hordes of idola- trous ignorance. Let him behold Democracy sharing in England the throne of her be- THE BOMB. P I82 loved Queen, and home-rule coming ever nearer over-burdened Ireland. Then let him scorn to retrace a single step toward the political darkness he has left behind, but, with Welling pride that he, bears the name of American, continue to hold aloft the beacon light of freedom, and make this, in spirit and in truth, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people - the vision of the Puritan, the purpose of our fathers. So shall the Eastern World follow the morning sun to behold, in its simplicity and glory, this brotherhood of States, and reap with them the golden fruits of enlightened popular government. Then shall seas no more confine the mission of America, but all hearts shall keeptime in glad harmony, chanting the universal song of liberty. Then shall the nations, imbued with the principles that gave America her independence, take up With her -the grand march toward political perfection, and with grateful hearts in- voke upon her the protecting care of the Divine benignity. lPu11s, Cuts, Slams, Breaks, Freaks and Roasts.

Once there entered at a college, With a most important air, With silk hat and lofty collar, And sweet -curly auburn hair, A superbly charming fellow With a countenance so fair, One was vividly reminded Of a pumpkin or a pear. He desired that the impression Of himself-the English swell- Should be feltby' all about him, Felt and realized full well, And was specially desirous All the maidens' fears to quell, Making each of them feel certain That to her his love he'd tell So he said to an acquaintance, Show me, please, the college belle, That I may with sweet expression Show to those who here do dwell How to win the heart of maidens,- Such as your sweet Mae or Nell, How to win the heart of maidensg Yes, sir! win and keep them well 1' Straightway then the friend departed, Hastened out the door pell mell And, returning shortly after, Brought an ugly old brass belly While the crowd which stood about him Uttered one delighted yell, And the dandy, looking sheepish, Ann THE GAP CAME Binxx: There was once a scrap Brought about by a cap Which had a mishap In the parlor at noon, And if you'll but wait, The tale we'll relate, And tell it all straight: Yes, we'll tell it quite soon. WVhile the rest were at dinner A day student sinner, Well known as a grinner, Put some hats on the ceiling r Where one couldn't get them, Gr even upsel them, Or scarcely PROTECT them, Without troubled feeling. Soon the owners appeared With fierce eyes that leered, While day students jeeredg And a tumult arose. When the victims grew madder, They hunted a ladder, And thought Men they had 'er In spite of their foes. But the ladder got broken, And Herce words were spoken, Which served as a token Of feelings intense. When at last the hats descended And the ladder was all mended, And vile contentions ended, Felt, indeed, he heard his knell ! In the clothes were found some rents :gb-ji --04?

THE BOMB. 1 Paradise Lost. Of that great loss, befallen to the boys, Which makes where Eden was a region drear, From loss of girls and the attending joys Which are not found in the new region where Miss Ford severe and awful, reigns supreme, Sing Heavenly Muse which in those happy days Inspired Banks with that poetic wrath Which maketh man to write in tuneful lines Praising the presence of his gentle May. And chiefly thou O Spirit of the Past, Which lingers now around these lonely halls, Seemmg to mourn for days that never come, For days forever gone, help me that I May praise Miss Ford's eternal vigilance, And justify the way of Prex to men. Tell first, for Heaven hides nothing from thy view Nor yet Inferno s halls, say first what cause Moved the great dads to see-k to change our life And banish from the Main the blessed girls, Immuring them in far-off Ladies' Hall. Angels above looked down and envied them The happiness of living as they did, And flike the serpent when he tempted Evej Tempted the dads of I. A. C. to change The even tenor of sweet college life. I Then to the north uprose, to greet the eye Of wondering boys an edifice sublime, Which Fate designed should rob themof their girls. Wirth stood aghast and never smiled agian Q' oy fled the Building with agfrightened face, Pleasure, sad eyed and sorrowing, eloped I With Happiness and never more was seen. The girls, when told by powers that be that they Should leave the place and nevermore come back, Grew pale and wept Vacation came, and they Went home VVhen they returned they ventured not To look toward the Buildingg sorrowing, They slowly sadly passed along the walk, Taking from Paradise their lonely way. 189 THE BOMB. Paradise Regained. I, who erewhile that happy Building sung, By one great plan forever lost, now sing Recovered Paradise to all mankind, ' By bold man's firm endurance fully tried , Through all discouragement, oppressiontfoiledg Dominion's reign defeated and o'ercomeg And Eden raised in melancholy place. Thou Spirit now, as thou art wont, inspire My prompted song, else mute, to tell of deeds Above heroic, though in secret done And unrecorded left for many a day,- Worthy to have not remained so long unsung. Now had Old Time, stern ruler, with a voice More awful than the sound of trumpet. cried Vacation's end, and study close at hand To all inclined. To Hall of Learning flocked The region round, and there their eyes beheld ' In majesty and pride a red brick pile, Held fixed its stately heighthg and straight the doors Opening their broad expanse, discover, wide Within, dimrcorridors and winding stairs, The while in beauty from the arched roof, Pendent by subtle magic, many a row Ofstarry lamp and shining globe that, fed By silent lightning flash, yielded a light As from the sky. The hasty multitude Admiring entered, but alas knew not That once beyond alluring threshhold's bar Naught would avail to him withinf- . Swings outward never yonder portal then, But by the will of tyrants, jealous hand. For such the power -grim Lex from high- estate Essays to wield through his appointed aid, Grave Domina, the keeper of the keys, ' In books well versed, and learned in language lore, And yet-one other, of a milder mien, i By careless Fates Doolittle, wrongly named, While, of a truth, by her untiring care Great things are wrought for good of all around. So thus enchained by spell of convent air And spirits, wrapped about with cloister calm Were those Who, entering blithly here, pass out The Paradise they gained THE BOMB. With solemn, measured tread and downcast eye, When recitation bell calls out the hour, Or when in evenings' hush at chapel time, ' They gather all to list to prayer and songg Nor dare, when at the benedictions close, Again the cool of evening fans each brow, To pass beyond the bonds of iron bands That mark the path of swiftly flying car, Nor e'en so much as cast a passing glance Toward that dread place their 'bode in former days Where now, in durance vile of lonesomeness, The present hosts lived uncontented on Till deep in heart there ,grew a strong resolve Which kindling into action, dire revenge, Annihilation threatened to proud Lex: And on an afternoon when summer sky Was fairest ere beheld, descended dark The cloud of war, and trampling hosts' besiege The frowning fortress, and victorious are. In spite of Domina and her strict care Each bore a trophy to the Campus wide, In form of maiden fair, while in dismay From royal throne Lex Dura downward looked, And frowned, but dared not intercept the more. Nor cease they here to wage the combat fierce, From out their numbered hosts a stalwart one And strong enlists in venture, lone to run The gauntlet of those awful two-edged rules, So leaving far behind astonished crowd Urged on by bold endeavor, not to right, Nor left, nor yet to heavenward cast a glance, But, as an arrow to its mark, full swift He came, and gained the pass of outer court, And nothing daunted reached the inner hall, With silent swiftness he unchallenged passed. His search rewarded-bent on outward way- All on a sudden crosshhis path their stepped An awful form lwith hand in wrath upraised, VVho, pointing to the entrance door, bade him Continue on his way and quick be gone. No less the victor, with a heavenly smile,- His wish thus met-he straight ffcontinued onf' Nor less to futureis good does it portend, That hand of iron did once its grasp relax And as by magic open portals wide, 190 I THE BGMB. From which their issued forth, with merry shout, The prisoners one and all to Campus fill. But, once the breath of freedom breathed, in vain Content, thrice hard the yoke, restraint, to bear. Refit with double lock the prison door- The windows now are screwed from sash to sash With intent lgainst the Diptera foe, 'tis said, But just as true a barrier it proves To Flight of certain Lepidoptera kind, That fain would roam in moonlit world abroad. But though the Sovereign rules with mighty hand, And we his vassals still at present are, V E'en yet, by lofty deed of good intent And purpose true, is Paradise Regained. i The Reign of the Hoodlums I. Those who live up in Heaven, like those on the earth, Have always been noted for sporting and mirth, Knowing well ,tis essential to happilyhlive A And have all the pleasure that fortune will give. 11. But times there have been QAre we sure they are passed?j 'When a devilish spirit seemed growing quite fast, i For, as we look backwardto March-just last spring- Our eyes become tired, and our ears seem to ring, III. For the Hoodlums were here in all glory and power, Causing tumult and uproar from basement to towerg And not only inside, but o'er campus and field To their influence many a mob seemed to yield. IV. ' So that things came to pass which were better not told, And speeches were made which shock even the bold, Songs too were sung QFD which were quite out of tune, And Freshmen made lengthy a great deal too soon. V. 4 While the weather was cold and the angry wind howled, While the boys were uneasy and all the girls scowled, V 'THE Boivns. Therenseemed little to do but line up in the hall, In that place to wait till some Hoodlum should call,- VI. Come fellows, ltis time that we all hadsome sport- Let us rush in a crowd, as if storming a fort! Whereuponwould ensue such a mighty stampede That one would imagine each lad was a steed. VII. And the noise of the tumult seemed too great to bear When the cry of 4'Rough house! arose on the airgt But the racket subsided like the showers of May i When the crowd heard the words, Break away! Bi-eak'away! VIII. The authorities soon grew alarmed at such sights, For others more thrilling were feared in the nightsg And probably fearing to walk in the dark On returning home late from some eveningis gay lark, IX. They conceived the idea remarkably wise Of suspending two lamps of a marvelous size At each end of the hall, as a means of protection For all the dear girls who roomed in that section. X. But Fate was against them, for one dreary night The lamps disappeared, and the I-Ioodlums' delight Next day was unbounded, and no one revealed The much sought-for fact: where the lights were concealed. it M 6? A it 9? ki XI. 1 Then there were the raids on the Creamery crowd, Led on by the Hoodlums, with yells wild and loudg The raids on the Creamery-in all such a light That a fellowconcluded this poem to write:- XII-I. Half a rod, half a rod, Half a rod onward, All on the campus yet, Ran the one hundred. Forward and stretch them now! Charge up the stairs Into the Creamery building walked one of the hundred. anyhow! 2 THE BOMB. 2. Come fellows, are you afraid ? Why were they all dismayed ? Verily, each of the crowd felt that he had blunderedg For the proctor with eagle eye, Asking the reason why Waiting to hear reply, Out there before them all Faced the one hundred. 3. But still the one lad remained, Stayed as if tightly chained, Tho' looking greatly pained, Right at the door. Water to right of him, Water to left of him, - Water behind him-Vol1ey?d and thundered ! Thrown at from dish and pail, Wildly he grasped the rail, but nothing more- Stood there and did not fail-He of the hundred ! , 4. 4 When can his glory fade? O Shaw! the charge he made ! All the crowd wondered. 1 Honor the charge he made,- Honor to him be paid,-- One of a hundred ! if it lk E6 if 5 yy Xiu.

V ' And perhaps a few scraps which in parlors occurred And strange meetings in rooms, when at midnight was heard The sounds of rejoicing-and out in the air Were wafted sweet odors-fried chicken or hare,- XV. Still, We think that we can, without rhodoimontade, Claim justly and true that our tribute we've paid To the acts of the Hoodlums-their glorious reign- In language sufficiently lucid and plain. XVI. But leaves have their time,', say the poets, 'fto fall, And flowers at the northwind to wither, so all V Of the Hoodlums have vanished forever away, In search of new fields,-there their antics to play.

A Day in Vacation at I. A. C I rose with sunrise Qnot so long agoj To breathe the morning air, and feast the sight. The purple east grew golden-all aglow With quivering new-born light. The morning sun drew in behind a veil More clear and fair than any face it kissed. The ardent sun rose up with crimson trail, . And drank the morning mist. From golden into crystal passed the light, From amber into azure cooled the sky, The burnished dew flashed softly red and white, To vanish, not to die. Q Sweet thoughts then come, and sweet the voices With truer hearing than old faith can gain- The singing of the birds enriches all, And lessens thoughts of pain. Over the campus floats the calling jingle. Breaking the sweetness of kind nature's charm. The voice of Davy and its harsh notes mingle, To soften, not to harm. The campus scenes are all so strangely new, I With boys all clad in curious working gear, xOf fabric queer and curious shade of blue- We see no broadcloth here. From broadcloth into cotton changed the suits, From students into laborers changed the boys, That they looked horrid, we can ne'er refute, Nor that we lacked for noise. I gazed. from 'out my one small window dim And saw them working. Seniors, Sophs, and all, At digging post-holes with true manhood's vim- Class quarrels ? Not a sqtuall. fa The distance spreads a different scene before mee Onions and other truck,', row after row, Gloved and straw-hatted, loafing long between them jerry and Schulte hoe. l THE BOMB. From crystal into golden passed the lightg From azure into amber changed the skyg Then many folks appear with hammocks light, And laugh, and talk, and sigh.

J.- -,-?,.....- Should you ask me whence this story, Wlhence this legend strange and mystic, Tinged with breath of love's romantic Power to sway the heart of Zinser And the plastic soul of Chaucer, I would tell it you in this wise- I would answer make as follows: To the Chem. Lab. went a maiden, One of thoughtful mein and earnestg Daily at her task she lingered In the quest of scientific Knowledge, and the arts of Chemists. Hard she toiled with purpose only From the boundless realm of Nature Secrets wondrous to discover. Little dreamed this worthy maiden, Caring naught but for her study, Thinking not of others' doings, Little dreamed she that her presence Daily at her place in Chem Lab., Daily at her recitations, Should become the cause in future I 198 Of such awful consequences- Threat'ning challenge, deadly combat. To the Chem Lab went two young . . n One of classic fame, called Chaucer, Xvho, hard by the modest maiden, Likewise deep in seeming earnest Delving in the lore of science, Andsthe quiet honest Zinser, Faithful, persevering Zinser, Labored also in the Chem. Lab. Sought he, too, with scale and test-tube Learning deep and true to gather. Marvel not at what shall follow. Is it not the same old story? Has it not been true in all time? In the dim and fading past time? In the bright and glowing present? Will it not be, then, in future? Early in the pleasant springtime VVhen the cool winds, soft and gentle, Laden with the breath of flowers, To the toilers in the Chem. Lab. From Jhe outside brought their fragrance, Then it was that Chaucer, seeing All the charms that graced the maiden, Straightway sought to win her favor. Smooth of speech was he, and able With his subtle skill and phrases To convince, persuade, accomplish. But the steady, patient Zinser- He, the persevering student, Likewise to the charms of maiden Fell ai victim in therspringtime. Spake he not, but watched in silence The advances of his rival, Of the gay and wily Chaucer. Soon a black cloud of contention Cast its shadow o'er these young men. In the heart of Zinser smouldered jealous wrath at sight of Chaucer Basking in the light of favor In the bright eyes of the maiden. Straightway then he sent a challenge, Down-the gauntlet threw at Chaucer, Called him to account for stealing The affection of the maiden From himself. Vffhereby in darkness Shrouded was his once bright future, Though by code the choice of weapons Fell by right to challenged Chaucer, Yet the crafty Zinser hinted That if needs be he must perish, Pillows soft or feather duster As the weapons for the conflict Made the thought of fall less bitter. Then by trusty friend .the challenge Was to festive Chaucer carried. Fierce his eye as his acceptance Wrote he out in wordsfas follows: I say, 'come on,' I'rn not afraid I To give my heart's blood for the maid, THE BOMB. XVho is the darling of my heart And from whom I shall never part. I scorn your imputations vile, And put your challenge on a file Where are already twenty-seven From other chaps I've sent to Heaven, And if we iight l now foretell 16111 The twenty-eighth must go, too.

Pick out your duster, we must fight Ere time shall bring another night. was hasty preparation For the coming fateful struggle Made by friends of these two young men. , Time was set and place was chosen: ' Midnight dark and direar and gloomy Set they for the time of meeting, Roof of boiler house was chosen For the scene of the encounter. At the time appointed, promptly, At the dark and dreary midnight, At the ghostly, gloomy midnight, On the roof of boiler building, Came the rivals and their henchmen, With their weapons, - pillows deadly. lVIason came and gallant Frisbee, Seconds for dehant Chaucer, Davy saw fair play for Zinser, Sport, the surgeon, there was ready, Gill, the referee, decided Questions to the strife pertaining. With them carried they 'umbrellas To protect from sudden showers. Word was given. To the conflict Rushed the furious, vengeful rivals, . Each intent upon destruction. Long they fought, and fierce, and bloodless, Fought like knights of old, yet neither Could the other's fall accomplish, Till at -last in Hercer onslaught Zinser's weapon burst asunder, , Left him nothing for protection Save the clouds of feathers round him Fates decreed: the hea1't of maiden Never should the gallant Zinser Strive for longer in the Chem Lab. But the victor, mighty Chaucer, Gay was he, victorious Chaucer, For his valor was unquestioned, And thenceforward for him only .Was the right of way unchallenged To affections of the maiden.

TO HER WHOSE GENTYL COUNSEL HATE EVER BEEN, SEEK YE THE SHORTEST VVAY BETWEEN TWO POINTS, MISTRESS JULIA VVENTCI-I, B. L., IS THIS HUMBLE POEM DEDICATED BY YE PILGRIMS. EDITORS NOTE.-This humble tale, dear reader, is the true account of the wanderings and dire ad- ventures ofz bolde Pilgrim Knights, their entrance into ye cityes of ye Plain, Boone, Ogden, Kalo, Coal- ville, and Ft. Dodge, their meeting with divers strange peoples, arId their combats with the pterodactyl, tlIe ichthyosaurous, the mosquito, and other specimens of zmnatural history heretofore not known to Inortal man. Unlike that other Pilgrims Progress, dear reader, this tale contains no mystic symbolism, and is hence not paregorical. . That it far surpasses the above mentioned work in its beautiful portrayal of the onward March of the Human Sole, you will, upon careful perusal, most surely agree, for you will , without doubt, thoughtful reader, most readily see that no distress of Bunion casts the shadow of its painful influence upon the progress of this wonderful feat. , The poetical work at hand, kind reader, is conveniently divided into several Cantos, each setting forth certain portions of the journey and its adventures, The narration, be it remembered, is the written record of the two Knights, whose-respective testimonies are distinguished as Tale of First Knight and TaLe of Second' Knight. Canto I depicts the sad outgoing of errant Knights, and followeth them it their way to ye Citie of Boone. Canto II taketh up the thread of the story, and showeth forth the terrors and awful adventures in the forests and fastnesses of the region beyond the last named stronghold. Canto III enlighteneth the understanding in the ways of the man who weighs not, in no wise, the importance of not waysting his time in pointing out wrong ways to ones journeying in the highways and byways of travel. Canto IV is marked with unutterable pathos, it showeth how the patience of mortal man may endure the pangs of watching the mystical disappearance of the alpha and omega of that long looked for freight train which he fain would believe to have Hborne him away in its bosom o'er the prairies wild and wide. Canto V taketh up the journey at Ft. Dodge and continueth therefrom to the final destination of the Pilgrims. . And now, gentyle reader, is commended to thy holy meditation the wisdom of ye Tale of ye Pil- grims, whereby, be it hoped, that, if there be any who wandereth iII like manner among the divers perils and pitfalls of this unsympathetic terrestrial sphere, such may indeed be guided by the beacon light that is caused to shine by ye Knights of ye Turnpike in the unsurpassable brightness of Ye Pilgrims' Progress.

CANTO lV. fTale of Second Knightl There are times when the heart is weary, Wlien the heart is faint and sad, When all the way seems dreary, . ' And the spirit 's never glad, But the Pilgrims have not perished Because of Cringing fear, For in their hearts they've cherished Bright hopes and hearty cheer, As you'll learn by this narration Of their wand'rings through the country Where inhabitants so kindly Have assisted them by giving Food and drink and strange directions For completing their long journey. At the little town of Ogden, Sat them down upon a platform 'With heroic nerve and patienceg Sat as though they both were willing There to die and to be buried, Seven long weary hours they sat there- Speechless, motionless, and only Passing time by writing poems ' Telling of their strange adventures. O, that long and dreary waiting! O, that dark and tedious waiting! . Ever farther, farther, farther Seemed the distant town of Humboldt, , f Ever deeper, deeper, deeper Sank their hearts within the Pilgrims, Sank their hearts with apprehension. And at last when came the freight train- Came with cars and mighty engine- Came with sharp' and piercing whistle And a rushing like the cyclone And with rumbling like the thunder. O, how sickening was the feeling Of the awful disappointment, Which they met with in a moment, When they found that they could never Steal a ride upon the freight trainl So they stood with sad expression, Stood, and let the train go by them. Thus the Pilgrims were defeated In their scheme of transportation, But with courage newly taken They pursued their journey onward, ' Up the track and through a meadow Till they came upon the highway, Where theyusaw far in the distance A one-seated country wagon Which was rapidly approaching, And in which a pert young woman With her mother was a riding. Could we sit upon the grain sack In the back end of your wagon? Asked the Pilgrims, and the woman Answered'that she'd no objections, So the Pilgrims quickly mounted, And live miles were carried northward Till their hearts were light and merry And were thoroughly encouraged - By this merciful assistance Which had seemed so providential. At a Dutchman's ample mansion They concluded they would dine, Though he somewhat, hesitated, As his table wasn't hue, And in words apologetic . Hip explained with nervous scratch How his woman left already, And he was a keepin' batch. But he furnished food sufficient To content the appetites Of his hungry guests, the Pilgrims, Who both 'ate with monstrous bites, After which they traveled slowly ' fCould you wonder at such deeds?i Till they reached the blighted country Domiciled by stingy Swedes! Swedes? Ah, yes! full many of them, And they all are just alike- Stingy and unsym athetic To the knight ofpthe turnpike, For they wouldn't even let us In their wagons have a ride, And although we asked politely Never would they food provide. So within the town of Dayton VVe our suppers had to buy At a funny Swedish restaurant, Where the prices all were high. ln this town we did not linger, For we loathed its very streets Where the eople are so cruel And are tiiled with such conceits. On we traveled, vainly searching For a school house or a shed Where we might, in hopes of resting, Lay us down and make our bed. After three long hours of walking In the damp and chilly night We beheld a country school house Built of wood and painted white. Through a window then we entered, Groped our way in through the dark, While outside we heard with trembling Angry snarl and howling bark, For a farmer's dog had seen us As we in the house did climb, And instinctively concluded N We were there to do a crime, So he hovered long about us, Making hideous the night With his wild Satanic barking 1 ,THE BGMB. 203 And his threatenings to bite. Ah! the anguish of those moments! While we on the floor were crouching, And with beating hearts were listening To the coming of the farmer, Who in answer to the summons Of his dog's Herce demonstrations, Wished to know what was the matter And was rapidly approaching To the little wooden school house Where within there lay secluded Two tired members of the Bomb Board, But kind Providence directed Safe from them his course of action, For, with mighty 'voice commanding, He the canine beast called liomeward: And they both in peaceful slumber Then reposed within the school house, On the Hoor within the school house, On the floor so soft and pleasant, As a rest for limbs exhausted. Starting onward, just at daybreak. They made slow but certain progress, Resting often by the roadside, And at intervals obtaining Little rides with folks in wagons, And on one occasion even With a preacher in a buggy. Passing soon the berg of Burnside, Likewise Kalo town and Coleville Where the houses are unpainted, And the streets are queer and crooked, - Where the people are good natured And extremely interesting. So to leave the town of Kalo And its northern neighbor, Coalville, We were truly quite unwilling, For aside from charming people We were by the scene delighted, VVhere great hills with forests covered Raise their heads in lofty grandeur, And inspire the heart of poet To a dream sublime and heavenly, Filled with happiness supreme: But these visions quickly ended, For on us there soon descended Thoughts of many a long and weary mile we yet must onward go, So we hastily departed-for the town of Ft. Dodge A started, Where some relatives kind hearted would be sure to hollo, Whoa! lf they saw us passing by them would be sure to hollo, Whoa! Though we have to answer, No! For we hadn't the intention of allowing them to mention Any method for prevention of our pilgrimage, you know, So when in the city walking we were careful in our talking, While the crowds were at us gawking, to maintain a tone quite low- For our safety to be careful, and maintain a tone quite low, Otherwise there might come woe. CANTO V. - !Tale of First Knightj In the outskirts of the city ls a quiet shady forest Where the milch cows gather daily Milk to take home to their owners, 204 Where the boys go in the autumn To seek butternuts and walnuts, And where nature is the fairest And the kindest to her children. In this quiet shady forest Pilgrims rested from their labors, Went to sleep upon the greensward, Dreamed of long miles yet to journey, Dreamed of other ways of travel- Swifter far than magic buskin, Ever carried Hiawathag Of the M. EQ St. L. railroad And of swiftly moving freight trains With their wide inviting box cars That would carry them to Humboldt Without trouble, toil or danger. While the weary Pilgrims rested, Dreamed they, and awaking still thought Of this pleasant mode of travel. Though they waited two long hours, VVaited, longing for the freight train That was wont to go to Humboldt Sometime early in the evening, Yet their vigilance was useless, For the road had changed its schedule Of freight trains The one they watched for Had gone through while they were sleeping. They were weary, they were footsoreg They were tired from long walkingg And the M. Sz St. L. railroad Only run bi-weekly freight trainsg But they mustered all their courage, And they boldly said, We don't care, We set out to bum our way home, And we don't care how we do it. So once more they started walking. Two miles out of town's a hay loft Where they slept that night and rested For their final tramp the next day. Ah! that next day was the Sabbath. ln that hay loft, wide and roomy, They determined they should slumber Till the daylight broke upon them, When they'd recommence their journey THE BOMB. And would walk the full eighteen miles That still lay between them and Humboldt. But the dark clouds gathered o'er them, And the rain in floods descendedg So they rested there contented Till 'twas full three hours later Than the time they had intended To set out to journey horneward. All that da they traveled onward, Without breakfast, without dinner, Only stopping it farm houses To et drinks o lacteal fluid, ' Stogpingialso, when grown weary From their long walk in the hot sun, For a rest, and at the same time To write poetry relating V f ' What had happened on thejourney- Poetry that they might send to Different folks that they intend to Keep informed upon the matter Of their trampings through the country- One they started was not finished When they reached the town of Humboldt, And the elder Pilgrim, Chaucer, Had to go out in the country 7 To his home ten miles from Humboldtg But they thereupon determined That the poem must be finishedg And this poem when completed. Was none else than Pilgrims' Progress. This we know, the Pilgrims finished The long pilgrimage they started, Braved all hardshtps that the tramps meet Beggeditg roughed itg had a high time, Did all things that they set out to Dog and when the tramp was finished And their trials all were over, They remembered they'd been prompted To their strange freak by a meeting On the track north of the College With a queer chap. smart and cultured, Who'd attended school in Harvard, But now down on luck was tramping Till- he'd reach some friends in Clinton.

The regular course now includes four years. Conditions of .advanced standing are detailed in the catalogue. The laboratories of Chemistry and Physiology are in charge of Professors whose time is given exclusively to them. Over twenty thousand patients Were treated in the College Dis- pensary last year. Mercy, St. Luke's and Wesley Hospitals are near the College and our students are admitted to them. T For circulars of detailed information, address the Secretary, f DR. FRANK BILLING-S, 235 State Street, CHICAGO, ILL. Do You Know that the I-lar is:Emery ., js in the best position of any house in Central Iowa to do the Dry Goods business. Why? Because they office in New York with the Emery, Bird, Thayer Sz Co., of Kansas City, and the combined Trio Houses will buy and sell over Three ft53,ooo,oooJ Million Dollars worth of Goods during 1895. This joint Purchasing is an immense advantage to us, as Emery, Bird, Thayer 8: Co. buy nearly tive times more goods than our House, and they are in position in both capital and credit to buy goods as cheap as any Wholesale House East or West. We open this year a manufacturing department of ladies' wearing apparel, and will make to order as well as make up for stock, all kinds of Dresses, Tailor Suits, Capes, jackets, Waists., Make up, reline and alter fur garments., All this work will be made to order, giving the customer the cost of the garment when completed, the same as a man orders a suit of clothes. We have for three years been prying railroad fare one way to all patrons from Ames who buy 520.00 or more. We would be pleased to have the college people avail themselves of this offer. If you have any time to spare while in the city, here is a suggestion: How to See the City by the Street Car Lines.
