MICHIGAN 12 SALUTATORY. HOULD you ask us how it happened, Who proposed it at the outset, Who it was that toiled and labored Thought and wrote and talked and fabled That this book of college sketches, Tales of students and of classes, Grave professors, verdant freshmen, Should present a truthful picture Of Kazoo, our own dear college, I would answer, I would tell you 'Twas the Junior class who did it, Did it with their tubes and lensesg Not for greater fame as scholars, Not to show their mighty genius, Nor to hll their empty pockets, Are they present here before you, But they come to sing the praises Of their college, dear old college, Of the life as students live it, Of the fun and of the trolic, Of the battle and the conflict, How they fought and how they won it, Following closely their wise leader. Should you find upon these pages Marks and footprints of some sages That have wandered from their calling, Be thou gentle, good, and kind, 'Tis the mills of the gods that 'tgrind While the editors do the toiling. 13 N issuing this little book, the junior class feel that they have the sympathy and p commendationlof their friends. The Cathode is the first publication of its kind ever issued from Kalamazoo College, we are the pioneers in this line, and, like pioneers along any line, we have found many difhculties to overcome. We do not presume to know it all, but beg your indulgence as you peruse these pages. Kindly look for the good, remembering the maxim, 'tWe hnd what we look for. If you find error, you may speak to the next year's Junior class, that they may profit by our mistakes. The two main objects in publishing the Cathode', have been, that we might leave a lasting monument to the class of '97, and that we might draw closer the bond of fraternal union between the college and its graduates and ex-members. lf this book shall awaken tender recollections of college life, if it shall stimu- late and impel to nobler thoughts and actions, if it shall lead some young man or woman to decide for a higher education, that may eventually lead them to honor, success, and happiness, then the editors will feel well paid for all their toil. We are able to publish the Cathode through the liberal advertising of Kalamazoo's best business hrms. We have solicited only the best and can heartily recommend them to your patronage. We desire to acknowledge the help received from the trustees of the college, also the kindly interest and sup- port shown by the Faculty, students, and alumni. Miss Keep of the college art department, Mark I-layne, A. E. Jenks and W. A. Reid have rendered valuable aid in the line of illustrations. The hearty co-opera- tion and unity of the class, together with the encouragement of our friends, have made the task much lighter and brighter, and we feel that Kalamazoo College, at least the class of '97, will receive good from the publishing of the Cathode, june 10, 1896.

HE early settlers of Michigan were largely from New England and New York, and regarded educational facilities, such as they had had in their former homes, a necessity. The history of the founding of Kalamazoo College is intimately connected with the early educational de- velopment of the state, and is of especial interest, as this is the oldest classical educational institution within the borders of Michigan The plan of founding such an institution originated with Rev. Thomas W. Merrill, a graduate of Waterville College, now known as Colby -University, who worked and travelled continuously for several years to raise the necessary funds, and to obtain a charter. Most valuable assistance was given him by Hon. Caleb Eldred. The original charter for The Michigan and Huron Institute, or, as it was later named, The Kalamazoo Literary Institute, was granted April 23, 1833. The French name, institute, was chosen instead of the English term, college, but the following extract from the charter makes the character of the institution sufhciently evident: Said trustees shall establish in said territory at such place as they may judge best, a Literary Institute, to promote the knowledge of all those branches of education usually taught in academies and collegiate institutions. The provision for preparatory instruc- tion was necessary, as there were few regular prepara- tory schools at that time. In 1835, the citizens of Kalamazoo contributed 32,500.00 and a large tract of land in the southern part of the city to the new institution. The first building was erected in 1836. Later the school was connected as a branch with the newly founded University of Michigan, but the connection was soon severed. The Baptists of the State, who had been from the hrst the principal supporters Of the institution, pur- chased the present grounds of the college in the western part of the city, and, in the years 1848-50, erected the main building, which is now used as a dormitory. In 1849, Rev. J. A. B. Stone, pastor of the church in Kalamazoo, was appointed Professor of Biblical Theology. He also served as principal of the institute from 1843 until college powers were added by charter in 1855, when he was elected president and continued such until 1863, when he resigned his office and Prof. Anderson was made acting president. The next year john M. Gregory, LL. D., was elected president, and continued until 1867, when he lay down the work to be taken up again later by Rev. Kendall Brooks, D. D., who Hiled the office nineteen years. Changes in the corps of professors during this period were as follows: Samuel Brooks, elected professor of Latin, Decem- ber, 1869, still serving, Henry M. Fish, instructor and principal of the preparatory department, Misses Catherine and Sarah Eldred, and Mrs. L. H. Trow- bridge, Professor VVilliam C. Morey and Instructors C. W. Bardeen, VV. W. Beman, A. R. Bretzel, Mrs. Estelle E. Davis, and Miss Carrie I-I. Daniells, Professors Wil- liam T. Stott and Lewis Stuart, lady principal, Miss Kate Brearley, instructors, Miss Minnie Brearley, Mrs. Bleaz- by, Miss Ellen Price, instructors, Howard G. Colman, Hutson B. Colman, E. J. W. McEwan, A. D'Armand, A -I. Teed, C. J. Toof, Mrs. V. A. Cadman, and Misses Sarah Howell, L. J. Newcome, Mary E. Clark, Dr. N. Burton, professor, Ernest D. Burton and VV. K. Miller, instructors, professors, A. Hadlock and F. D. Haskell, instructors, C. L. Dean, Thomas C. Green, F. M. Hodge, Jacob Poppen, Z. S. Harrison, N. A. Anderson, Misses Alice M. Northrup, Marian Chase, Helen M. Brooks, Mary A. Sawtelle, L. A. Beer- man, Mrs. S. C. Hascall, Professor J. Montgomery and Instructor Ignatz Mueller. The Ladies, Hall enterprise was matured during this period, greatly aided by Miss Chase, Mrs. C. E. Conley, Mrs. H. B. Colman, Mrs. Kate B. Ford and many others who bore leading parts with untiring patience. A year after the resignation of Dr. Brooks, Dr. Monson A. VVilcoX, of Oswego, N. Y., became presi- dent and continued until 1891, when at his resignation Rev. Theodore Nelson, LL. D., was called to become the head of the college. During this period the 3100,000 endowment was raised through the liberality of the friends of the college, aided by 315,000 from the National Educational Society. Dr. Nelson was in poor health when he took up the work. He performed his duties the first term, but the second term he was obliged to withdraw to the sick room, and on the lst of May, in calm relinquishment of the work to which till then he had clung, he departed to be with Christ. Arthur Gaylord Slocum, LL. D., graduate of Rochester University, and for sixteen years superin- tendent of schools in Corning, N. Y., was the unani- mous choice for the next president, entering upon his duties with the college year, 1892. With him have been associated Professors Brooks, Axtell, Putnam, Jenks, Haskell, and Lankheet, and Instructors Karl Graf, Misses Ella M. Hayes, Emma Shafer, and Lelia A. Stevens. Later have followed Profressors R. H. Tripp, VV. N. VVilson and P. F. Trowbridge, permanent Professor C. B. NVilliams, and Instructors Misses Maud Willcinson, Mary Relihan, Lucy johnson and Carolinne H. Swart- out. VVith this year Clark Mills Brink, Ph. D., in- structor in Brown University, became professor in the collge. During the college year 1895-96, an agreement for mutual advantage was consummated between the trustees of the college and the University of Chicago. By the terms of this agreement the college will be known as a college affiliated with the University of Chicago. Students receive credit on the records of the University for approved work done in Kalamazoo College. Those who complete the course on the pre- scribed conditions can secure their degree from the University after twelve weeks' additional work there. Three Fellowships are granted each year to mem- bers of the Senior class. silk S 7'Q 47155 .... b I. . Y ' 'ff' V 4 ,, 26 SENIOR CLASS.

HE Seniors had been having one of those jolly class meetings for which they are famous, and the boys were straggling back tothe dormitory from the various homes ofthe youngladies, One of them appeared to be in a revery. Forgetting to lock his door he sat down in the darkness to dream of the past. The scenes of four years were rapidly shadowed on the sensitive plate of his brain, but little did he imagine that another sensitive plate was making a permanent record of the same pictures in a form that everyone -could see. Long he sat there with his recollections while our Cathode artist, who had stolen in unawares, stood behind him reeling off the yards of sensitive paper on which his visions were faithfully recorded. A At last the paper gave out and the artist stole away just in time to escape detection from the dreamer who awoke to find that it was long after midnight. It would be impossible to give more than a brief sketch of the wonderful panorama secured in this surreptitious manner, but in a few words we will try to describe some of the visions that floated before this senior's mind. The first picture is a group of verdent freshmen in a back yard on Carmel street. The boys of the class appear in full baseball armor, and their stern and per- spiring faces show that a fierce battle has just been fought. Gallantly have they borne themselves in the fray, but the sophomore regulars were too much for such raw recruits. Ah mel Little do these rash and inexperienced youths dream that before the year ends many of them will be defeated and mortally wounded by the arrows of the youngest of the gods. The girls of the class are present to reward their champions, and the boys soon drown their chagrin in sweet smiles and juicy watermelons. The next scene is at a house on Main street. Behold twenty-two freshies seated on the floor around a big basket of peanuts. The lights burn low and the pale, scared faces of the innocent young students tell of the wierd and frightful stories that are being related. Already the verdancy has begun to disappear. There is one who tries to be dignified and gallant but only succeeds in making doubly conspicuous his real bash- fulness. l-le is destined ere long to develop into the great politician of the college. The deliberate move- ments of his neighbor unmistakably point out the future dignified orator and preacher. The girls are all fresh and beautiful and it is easy to see what a tumult they are already stirring up in the hearts of these inexperienced and defenseless youths. But bashful- ness wins the day, for at the close of the scene all that we can see is a single solitary freshman, plodding his weary way homeward. I-low the others reached home we do not know, but from this circumstance and future ones it is probable that each of them went home alone as sober freshmen should. Interspersed with these scenes, often in a strange and jumbled way, are pictures of the old man Cato, Greek roots, sines and tangents, midnight lamps and excited freshmen vainly trying to convince the doctor that their sight translations of Livy do ample justice to the one-eyed enemy of Rome. Now the scenes take on the verdure of spring. There must have been some strange influence floating onthe breezes ofthe spring of '93, for now we never see a freshman alone. Even in broad day on the well beatenipath to the class room the girls seem to need escorts. Awkwardness and diffidence have been van- quished by the mischievous little boy with his arrows, and for a time he reigns supreme. Never were inno- cent youths so smitteng never was Cupid so malicious in his treachery. But Apollo claims a share in their devotions, for the culminating scene of the year is his annual festival, the great Freshman Contest. One by one the twelve speakers appear and make the 'old church ring with the music of speech. Breathlessly they await the decision, and heartily do they cheer when Mr. Jenks and Miss Vifilkinson proudly mount the platform and receive the well earned prizes. Here for some distance the pictures are very ob- scure. Whether this is due to some fault in the apparatus or to the dirnness of the images in our subject's brain cannot be precisely determined. At any rate we shall have to pass over the next two years with a few brief outlines. L Only thirteen of the original twenty-two are class- iied as sophomores, and when we reach the junior year but nine are left. During these two years we get faint glimpses of various individuals as they put the finish- ing touches on their Greek and Latin, or wander through the mazes of calculus and analytics. Logic and literature have their day, and the sciences exert their influence to hold the attention of these dreamers to the realities of life. Faint outlines of tennis rackets and footballs appear at different places, min- gled with pictures of boats and cottages at Crooked Lake. Venus' son is busy all this time shooting his arrows, and although many, many of them go wide of the mark, some of the shafts find a permanent lodg- ment in tender hearts. But Minerva has been the leading deity as the expanding brains and the large size ofthe junior caps infallibly prove. Another con- test in which Mr. Fox and Miss Bennett are victors closes this part of their college life. By some strange coincidence, the subject of the first picture of senior life is the sameas that of the nrst freshman scene,-watermelons in a back yard, but this time on Main street with a greatly altered corn- pany. Many ofthe old faces are missing, but several new ones have come in and some who had dropped out have reappeared, so that the year begins with fourteen learned and dignified seniors. The old green- ness and timidity have given place to that self-control and self-conhdence which only seniors can maintain. Election of OICI,:lCC1'S is the order of the day, and the orators for which the class is famous wax eloquent as they extol the merits of their various candidates for office. just watch Mac hustling about as if he were managing a presidential campaign. Listen to Hutch and Jenks and Sinclair and Jackson as they plead for their favorites, and the girls, if not eloquent, have their way just the same. So with jokes and puns and eloquence, and a splendid array of senior caps they are launched on the nnal voyage of college life. But soon another picture presents itself to view. Visions of frightened seniors on Hallowe'en care- fully securing their best suits from the expected raid of the dormitory boys. Hurried consultations, the wild terror and arming of the politician and the concentra- tion of forces to escape a bath in Mirror Lake. But it is a false alarm. The lack-o'-lanterns, apples, and ghosts in Miss Barrett's attic receive due appreciation from the whole class, and the revolver is fired into the empty air of midnight, wounding nothing more tangi- ble than the spooks to which the night is devoted. But we come to the last scene. Many of the others have represented the class in their times of relaxation from regular work. Here we see them in a different aspect. Not the boys and girls that we saw at flrst, but men and Women now, every face giving evidence of their practical knowledge and earnest purpose. Those five men with the grave, judicial mien will evidently become lawyers, perhaps congress- men or presidents. Who knows? The long coats and clerical ties of these other five betray the fact that NX V1 W' - R5 Trigg? they have given their lives to proclaiming the gospel. The last one, with the learned, abstracted look, is to teach mathematics when he has learned all there is to be known on the subject. This young woman, who has been charming her class and the whole city throughout her college course with her sweet songs, will continue to bless the world with touches of sweet harmony, for she has music in her soul. That one has a lancet and medicine chest-unmistakable signs of her profession. And the last one, like the last of the men, shows signs of knowledge that must be im- parted, the infallible mark of a teacher. All of them look like cultured men and women with an earnest purpose to advance the cause of truth in the world. As we put aside the pictures, many a college friend will shed a tear to their memory, and all will join in bidding them a hearty God-speed. lt Qs SF tl , K XJ fi? K 7.13 . 3 N 'V Q?

ET the incredulous say what they will against the idea of a lucky star. Let them remove every trace of horoscopic belief from their own theo- logy. VVe, the class of '97, stand firm in our rock- bound conclusion that no class can hope to succeed Without the guidance of this star, and We have reasons for such a conclusion. Though till to-day we held it as one of the class secrets, yet for the sake of unlcnowing classes to come, we do not hesitate now to say something of our pre- monitions and 'rhe results. ln the month of Septem- ber, 1893, two days after college opened, each member of '97 hada vision. lt worked powerfully upon the anatomy of each beholder. Haggard looks showed plainly an anxiety of mind. Vvle resolved to share each other's woe. At dead of night, among the sacred trees on the border of Mirror Lake, we assembled in fright. XVhen lo! in yon sky, directly above the lower college building, appeared a star of enormous size, having twenty-two points-corresponding exactly to our number. Dazzled at first, we dared, little by little, to gaze again-when, in a flash, appeared Pro- positi Tenaxf' With a low, whizzing sound the Hery thing circled toward us and we caught sight of the initials P. W. S. T. H. upon one of the points. Then it was gone. Again it appeared, but we saw only a mixture of letters in which were H. L. F. S. W. A. Nothing was plain. It entered the lower college building, lighted up the room in the southwest corner, flitted to the southeast corner on the second Floor, burned upon the desks some Grecian characters, hurried down the corridor and escaped from a window in the Eurodelphian Hall. This was the phenomenon from beginning to end. Had we not attached much import- ance to it, less would have been said of the matter, but since that night we have known what it is to be a star class. The prehistoric period of our history, by which is meant the period immediately preceding our introduc- tion to Kalamazoo College as an incorporated body, was an intensely exciting time. Two young ladies lived in the same town. One sultry afternoon, on the way home from an exciting game of tennis, the conversation drifted to the subject of college for the coming year. It rested between Kalamazoo College and Harvard Annex. All at once the wind began to blow in Htful gusts. Dark clouds came up. Gleam upon gleam of lightning flashed in the sky. Still they sat motionless upon the curb-stone. The elements grew angrier. The struggle was long and terrible. Yet not a trace of fright appeared upon the face of either girl. Miss LaTourette, who was skilled in astrology and witchcraft, was asked to tell the omens. A cricket being caught, she sprinkled Quaker oats upon its antennae and then killed it, col lecting the blood upon her tennis racket. Upon the altar were placed the thigh bones with double rows of fat around them, and the smell of burning cricket flesh .arose to heaven. Then the wind shifted directly from west to east, which was interpreted to mean that they were to go westward. So it was decided. When we twenty-two freshmen began. our course, We agreed upon one thing, namely, concord. lrefer, not to the lazy, insipid sort of agreement where some have no opinions to express and some no desire to express them, but to a deference to each other's wishes, asort of working harmony. This was broken only once, I am sure, during the three years of which I write. To this concord we attribute much of that which college students call good times. Had we not every reason for being the happiest class beneath the chapel roof? There were triumphs in the realm of mathe- matics, unearthings of the bones of dead languages, and draughts from the springs of philosophy. 'We also looked to the development of our social natures, first at class meetings, then in the halls, on the stairs, all the way from one recitation room to another, and then in the drawing room, and we congratulated ourselves that we could entertain the class of '97 very charmingly. In the spring of '94, while we were yet a little green upon the outer edges, we crowned the year with a classic wreath in the shape of a Latin party given to all the college students and faculty at the Ladies' Hall, Now that it is all over we will confess that we feared, at times, lest the program would be wearisome. In other words, we felt that it might be casting pearls before swine to offer Latin food. But, happily, we were disappointed. For Mr. Finlay was heard saying only a day or so ago: G, temporal O, mores! Professor haec intelligit, Junior vidit. Hic tamen vivitf' Pink carnations kept blossoming at our feet, even when we passed into Sophomoric life. They fairly covered the campus in the spring, when ball games began and ball players were rife. Our star still shone. There was only one time when we feared that it had left us. It shone with double brilliancy when we gave our rehearsals of orations, in preparation for the chapel stage, it threw light on lVlr. MacDougall's path- way as he took flying trips to H-g it lighted Anna VVarwick's study table after her taper had burned dim. But when eight youths sought a way for providing nine young ladies with an escort apiece, it stayed behind a cloud. Those were troublous times! Besides discrep- ancies in quantity, there were some in quality. Surrep- titious measurements of heights and breadths used to be taken so that the incongruous might not appear. The historian is hardly in a position to state all the misery that those youths endured for a social evening But they were brave lads! VVe still maintain that Philolexian Hall is the best possible place for How of reason and of soul. Like Stanley, we had to make our way out, but we are satisfied, since we gave that famous yell beneath the eaves of the dormitory. fBy the way, the class of '97 hopes to issue a separate pamphlet, containing translations of our yell into sixty-three foreign tongues, with foot-notes 'to the original textj So the second year of College life passed for these wise fools. The Seniors say they doubt if a single week went by Without a conquest of some 'kind. Either our champion tennis player won new laurels for himself, or our botanical-geological member discovered some new anemone-schist, or our literary members con- tributed something to the college world. It is not impossible for the undeveloped mind of a Sophomore to catch inspiration from an inspiring instructor. We have gone into classes dull and careless, but we have gone out with higher ideals of life. As a class we were closely confined to our books. Of course, some were more so tha11 others. On one occasion, Mr. Finlay rose to translate-something was the matter, evidently, for he faltered and turned pale. Then in haste he took from his kind-hearted chum the only book that he could read from-his own copy of Tacitus. But I might recall, without ceasing, '97 jokes written on the margins and fly-leaves of old books, which we have almost forgotten about, for we laid them away when we put off childish things and became juniors. At first we did not want to be children of a larger growth, but we knew that until we reached that point, the discovery must be a secret. What discovery? Why, the X ray, to be sure. VVe knew all along, that with the first burst of the junior butterfly from his chrysalis, some wonderful demonstration would appear. The X ray was only an off-shoot from our star. Prof. jenks called it transformation of energy. What could measure the difference between these two years better than X mise? No one could compute the value of that Xf Professor Williams gave up the problem after the fifth week, but he said it was a mighty stride upward. In the south-west corner, just off the chapel, is a reading-room. This we dedicated by our first election of officers for the year of '96. No party strife -but-a party at Yule-tide. Pink carnations were in bloom for us again. Again we shouted, On a way! You ask what we are working toward? To find out what we do not know, and then to find out why we do not know what we do not know. We shall do this by means of the ray. We shall first try to discover VVhy is a mouse when it spins? By this same ray we hope to discover our individual class standings at examina- tion time, merely from reflections from the professor's brain. In fact, there is no limit to our plans for the rayis uti ity. We hope that we are better juniors than we were Sophomores. ' But the putting on of junior dignity, and the assuming of a place among the powers of the earth, has made us look farther, so that we understand better what a college education means. Whether, therefore, we take the stardthe ray-to be symbolical of a stride toward brilliancy, or as an actual guide for our future, we know that, in the main, rest with ourselves. Pray do not judge by this brief and unsatisfactory account years' existence. If we have sometimes failures, we are sadder and wiser now succeeded, we have a right to remember success must us altogether of our three made dismal If we have it. We hope we are not too egotistical-but it is our candid opinion that we are not far from perfection! If history is of service in the world in pointing out past blunders, let coming classes profit hereby. But do you not see that we are weeping for these three glorious years that we'have just buried? Turn not thy piercing ray too heartlessly upon the Class of '97! ' 'v ,. v L nf: N-Bmw' 'EW' ,am 1 ,, 7gj':.v,.'1?Xg2.,:.f's. ,,'.qf'f:44w 9 -, ' , , V 3 Ak , W3fg3ggN.,l?

HISTORY OF THE SOPHOIVIORE CLASS. f WHERE is said to be still inexistence an ancient volume containing records of the years 1892-3, when five members of the present Sophomore class were revelling in the delights of second year Prep-hood and beginning Latin. But most of the events of that period, like the tales of ancient Rome, are now mere traditions, therefore, as this is to be an authentic history of the class, we will begin with more modern times. The present regime dates from the Fall of 1894, when twenty Freshmen met and perfected a class organization. By the following Spring their number had increased to twenty-four, but from some unknown cause, they nnd themselves now reduced to sixteen members, with the girls sadly in the minority. 40 History does not record that they, as a class, ever conferred any great benents upon humanity. They have held numerous exciting class meetings with a view of doing something, but it is rumored that they never could agree as to what that t'something should be. From time to time, social gatherings, which they maintain were delightful, have relieved the monotony of their daily toil. For the greater part of the present sallied forth every other Wednesday the solemn orgies of the Sophomore year they have night to attend Reading Club. questions as to such occasions, minds, that it is D lmpertinent juniors sometimes raise the extent of their literary work on but there is no doubt, in their own most profound. They have the fortune, or misfortune, to be a very uneven class in age and attainments. Perhaps it was through a feeling of responsibility for the more giddy members of the class, that one of the maturer ones, last Fall, secured for them a chaperonhand for himself a wife. Be that as it may, they are nevertheless a very patient and industriousclass, of which fact their motto is conclusive evidence. Nowhere does their energy show more marked results than in their sports. They have a tennis court of which they are justly proud, bequeathed to them by the class of '94, Never do they tire of recalling that day last xsummer, when two of their girls beat the junior girls at tennis, and the still more notable day when they vanquished the - Seniors, The class has always been well represented on the base ball team and furnishes also the best runners of the college. Several of the lady members are adepts at bicycling. If anyone ever had any doubts as to the modesty of this class, they must speedily have been banished when the yell Great! Great! '98! '98! resounded in his ears. As to the future, it is not the province of this plain and faithful chronicle to speculate, but we cannot help thinking, from their marked idiosyncracies and other infallible signs of genius, that they will some day make the dust Fly and perhaps win the palm. Sophomores, our Sophomores, Oh, when will you know, That even as Sophomores You Wiser must Grow? b Look not with disdain Un the Freshmen so young, But rather look up To those who have won. Much glory and honor, By long years of toil, Will come to you later, When tilling the soil. Then press nobly forward, And let the world scorn, You have found your vocation In the raising of corn.

U MONG the pictures taken by our artist is one of such peculiar appearance and delicate struct- ure, that it has thus far been impossible to get a copy which is anything like the original. Indeed, it is so vague in outline, and has such strange features, that only an expert can tell what it is like, and then only on closest examination. It gives one the idea of a great embryonic something, very much alive and with great promise of future development. Some of the parts seem to be perfectly formed, but most of them require close scrutiny before the beholder can get any meaning from them. It would have been thrown aside in despair, but our philosopher happened to see it one day, and, thanks to his thorough training in psychology, phren- ology and kindred subjects, he was able to interpret for us some of the main features of the picture. This, said he, is not the portrait of a single person, but a Cathode picture of a type in embryo. lt would evidently be classified as belonging to the genus, homo, species, alumnus. In the present undeveloped stage it is known by the name of Freshman. It is not an uncommon creature, being especially abundant in the United States, Where it seems to thrive better than in any other part of the World. As would be expected, different specimens vary with the location and environl ments, but the general characteristics are always the same. The brain of our subject has the decided pro- tuberance common to the class, which indicates a great amount of self-confidence-an abundance of the quality known as nerve It shows also the usual marks of profound learning, dignity, and earnestness, all in a very elementary condition, but evidently developing rapidly. That peculiar formation in the front of the head indicates a fondness for constitutions and red tape, and prophesies the future lawyer and diplomat. Notice that bump over the left eye and the peculiar formation of those hands. Such a combina- tion never fails to point out a base-ball crank. There are many other peculiarities that you will notice on ations, it cannot fail to become a magnificent specimen close observation, such as a very prominent bump for oratory and slight indications of a liking for classic lore and mathematics. But the most prominent feat- ure is the one common to all members of the species at this stage of its existence, a feature suggesting an this localityfand shows signs of very rapid growth in recent months.

HHN Prof. Roentgen gave to the world his discovery of the Cathode, or, as they are often called, the X Rays, he had no idea of the vast held of their usefulness. Xllithin less than a month of the time the discov- erer published his observations of the wonderful pro- perties of these new found ether vibrations, scientists the world over were experimenting along the same line. A glance at the accompanying illustration will explain the method of producing the Cathode Ray by means of an induction coil, producing a discharge through a space of from three to live inches. The terminals of the coil are connected to a Crookes' tube, which, when in use for X Ray photography, occupies the position with reference to the sensitive plate as shown, and is placed at a distance of about twelve inches from the plate. No extensive mention need be made of the various methods of obtaining these Cathodographs, as this subject has received such universal attention in the last few months. All the colleges and scientists possessing the needed apparatus have been experimenting and have given us their investigations through the daily press. Some curious electricians have endeavored to procure the same results by means of electro-magnets, influence machines, and even artificial sources of light, but the results have not been very successful. Substances have been photographed by means of these rays, of which it has hitherto been impossible to obtain pictures. - Probably no class of scientists will be aided by this discovery as much as will physicians and surgeons. By it the innermost secrets of the human frame are laid bare and the physician can locate a diseased bone or a foreign substance imbedded in the flesh without the danger attending probing or cutting down where the presence of such a substance is suspected. This is not theory, but fact, established beyond a doubt by the researches and practice of reputable surgeons, who have discovered and removed diseased bones and even diseases within the bone. In many cases shot and bullets have been discovered and removed by the use of these Wonderful ray photographs. Prof. C. L. Norton, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, reports that he has been able toiexam- ine almost the entire inner system of the human body, and has seen the faintest pulsations of the heart and lungs respond to the inhalation and exhalation of the breath. He has outlined the internal organs and has observed the movements of the joints and discerned the spongy terminations of the bones as plainly as if devoid of Hesh. To Professors Harry Preston Pratt and Hugh Wrightman, of Chicago, we are indebted for the most wonderful discovery of the usefulness of the X rays. They announce that the Cathode Ray is a germicide, and that the bacteria of diphtheria are positively killed by its use. This announcement was received with scorn by the majority of the medical world, but Prof. Hickman of the Bacteriological department of the University of Missouri, after extensive experiments, connrms the statement. Prof. Hickman carefully prepared some germs and subjected them to the influence of the rays for two hours. His experiments demonstrated that the germs were killed, the microscopic examination show- ing that the diphtheria bacillus had almost entirely disappeared. If his further investigations continue successful, the cure of diphtheria by the application of the Roent- gen rays to the afflicted throat will become a most important addition to the medical practice. Prof, Roentgen's discovery deserves to rank in the history of the medical world with the discovery of the anzesthetic properties of ether, and with the discovery of the principle of vaccination. We are, however, only on the outskirts of the field of possibilities of this discovery, and while we advance every day farther and farther into the unknown, yet, in the future, when such men as Roentgen, Edison and Tesla shall have completed their investigations, who knows what wonderful things may be accomplished by means of this one of Prof. Roentgen's contributions to the world of science?

Olympic gods, in classic lore oft fabled, Inspiring awe in hearts of mortal men, Ye wielders of a mystic power controlling, Who long have reigned in majesty supreme, At length, O jealous deities, is shattered The thrall of superstition's iron sway, And man, emancipated from its fetters, No more to myths his blind cult e'er shall pay. The Star of Truth, of yore well-nigh concealed By lowering clouds of ignorance and shame, Gleams brighter now, its holder, God, revealing, Who only can man's worship justly claim. il? 46 96 Inspired by a restless desire for exploring The deities' sacred abode On Olympus, I boldly resolved to discover How fared they, no homage bestowed. Well knowing no access could ever be gained To those precincts to mortals forbidden, Despaired I? Ah, no! Modern science declares That from truth-seekers naught shall be hidden. Arrived at the summit I paused, nlled with awe- O vision of radiance supernal! Thou city of dreams! Yet e'en here is the taint Of earth's doom where naught blossoms eternal. With caution I stole to the palace of Zeus, Where the council of gods was in session, A nearer approach were attended by deathv But great forces were in my possession. Producing my diascope-key to whose power Is the magical name of Cathode? I leveled the search-light upon the vast walls, All honor to science! There showed To the inmost apartment that dread judgment hall, And each god in mythology known, Apollo, Poseidon, l-Iephaestos, and Mars, But 'twas Cupid who sat on the throne. But alas! Could it be that my vision beheld In those gloomy, disconsolate creatures The gods of Olympus, dread sovereigns Supreme? No regal hauteur in those features! .T Intent on discov'ring what theme they discussed, I raised my personitong clearly Their tones were conveyed-it was Zeus who first spoke And his voice sounded hollow and dreary. Ye gods of Olympus, yet victims of fate, True, ours is a pitiful story. Behold our condition! Erstwhile crowned with might Now basely deprived of all glory. The cause may be fully expressed in a word-- 'Tis pffogffesr-which slays superstition. But let us consult, and together conclude If ours is a hopeless condition. Then Mars, the bold war-god, in quavering tones, Quite broken by age and desertion: My friends, you well know how of yore I maintained In this whole earth tumult and commotion. But now scarce a sword can I crimson with gore, Nor madden with rage any nation. Farewell, my supremacy! Ruined is Mars, Superceded now by arbitration. Why cursed with the title Iffzmorfal am I? I-Ie paused, overcome with emotion. A silence of sympathy reigned for a time, Then Chronos bewailed his misfortune. Undeniably, I have most deeply been wronged, No traces of my pristine splendor Are left meg men even contrive to kill time In everyxconceivable manner. All modern society's run against time, E'en travel ignores my existence. Thus fares the great Chronos, whose stately advance Once symbolized grim fate's persistence. Then interposed Cupid, the spirit of love, Who first was evolved from the chaos That reigned till this god, with his subtlest of arts, Gave order for homage to Eros. But why the strange contrast that Cupid presents To the others despondent, ungracious? Can it be that this cheery, complacent young god Is the oldest of all on Glympus? I listened-his words made the mystery clear: Ye fellow-divinities, plainly You strive over mortals your power to gain Arbitrarily, hence 'tis but vainly. While I, by my crafty devices, contrive To insinuate into men's favor My politic wilesg and to Cupid, at least, Man's loyalty never shall waver. - And yet even I find my power usurped For discov'ry is slowly removing The need of my arrows to penetrate hearts, Cathode rays are successful in proving J What once only I with my shafts could disclose. This telepathy, too, is forever Invading my precincts -but here, with a start, I dropped from my hand the receiver And Hed in dismay, for toward me there sped VVinged Mercury, hast'ning to punish . The ruthless invader of that charmed abode With the justice gods only can furnish. As down from those heights I descended with ease In my aerielectromotor, While thoughtfully pond'ring the scenes I had left, lfVith reverence these words did I utter: Farewell, O immortalsl Time's pitiless march I-Ias left you behind in itis progress, But never, ,tis certain, while time shall endure, Of your fame can man be quite regardless.

ANONYMOUS, '97'. :ill L4 . 1 'a U2 I9 A CAMERA AIVIID THE WILDS. TANDING, one beautiful spring morning, upon a high hill on one of the numerous portages in the fur trading country north of Lake Superior, I looked down across the valley and saw a scene of wild, picturesque grandeur that moved me strangely. I was then engaged in the fur trade, and at the particular time of which I write, was returning with an Indian guide from a very successful trip among the Norihern Indians. The bark canoe was fairly well filled with fur, as a result of our trading, and the feeling of satisfaction which results from success enabled me to appreciate the grandeur of that wonderful locality. There had been several days of continuous rain, a warm spring rain that seemed to start the vegetation into sudden life as though ashamed of the late Northern spring. The warm spring morning was being ushered in by the first rays of light that poured forth from the sun just peeping over the hills on our left. On the eastern side the long range of gray stone hills, almost mountains, extended until they faded away into the distance, while the river stretched in a wavy line for miles, now at the very foot of the mountains and again wandering off into the valley, while away on the extreme edge of vision, could be seen the falls which marked our half day's journey. These falls, almost invisible on a'dull day, shone out in full relief, aided by the level rays of nature's search light, so that the eye detected a faint trembling in that small strip of silver. That faint trembling we knew was the pouring of a river over a rocky shelf forty feet high, but at that distance the dazzling brightness of the sun-rise alone told of any movement. In contrast with the steep, bare, rocky range of hills, the other side of the valley, which sloped gradu- ally from the river's bank to the edge of the horizon, was densely covered with evergreens. One has to see the fantastic designs that mutilate the evergreens in a civilized cemetery in order to appreciate fully the peculf iar sensationexperienced on seeing a bank of evergreens extending upwards and away until it reaches the limit of sight-the clearly defined line of the horizon that separates the rich, heavy green of the tree tops from the dark blue of the morning sky. On this particular morning the green of the trees, so freshened by the rains, gave an impression of color so thick and heavy that it seemed to stand out from and separate itself from the trees of which it was a part. The change from rainy weather to that of warm sunshine, the grandeur of the morning, the wonderful beauty of the scenery, the delicate perfume of unknown iiowers, combined with the keen physical enjoyment of healthg and all these details, tinted by the roseate hued glasses of a recent success, left an impression of wild, majestic beauty but rarely felt in a life time. The packs were hastily thrown down and Itried to awaken in the mind of the old Indian a sense of the beautiful by pointing to the scene before us. I called his attention to the scene and he, in his picturesque garb and uncouth manner, with a poetry of soul of which I never dreamed, smilingly turned and pointed to the rising sun, said: iiUHZb6.f VWH-zz-mo.vhrz! QLook! His sweetheartij I discovered afterwards that the Indians, after a long spell of rainy weather, hail the returning sun as his sweetheart. The words that involuntarily sprang to my lips on seeing such sublime scenery were, Uh, that I were a painter! At the noon camp fire I thought of that grand scene, at night it was still before my eyes, and finally I solved the problem by saying that I would take up amateur photography. I acknowledged freely that I could not paint, but a camera would do the work. an equivalent amount of hardships and excitement in beaver skins and otter, to the possession of the enter- prising New York firm. In due time the camera and accompanying paraphernalia came and I proceeded to learn something of photography. I was as well fitted to manipulate a camera as I was to captain a man-of- war, but I read the book of instructions very carefully and then re-read it with equal care. I pondered over QM, V, 3 That summer, I determined, would see me duly installed as an amateur photographer, for my readers understand that a fur trader works like a slave during the fall, winter and spring, but in the summer he can take life easy by doing little or nothing, with regal indifference to the petty troublesrof existence. I will spare my readers the details, simply telling that I wrote to a New York Hrm for a camera and outht. I transferred about sixty dollars, representing directions, puzzled over technical terms, wondered at the seeming intricacies, worried over possible results, and then-I started to take pictures. Let us charitably draw a curtain over the first month. I-Iow well do I remember the first success. I had pressed my relatives and friends into posing as subjects for my omnivorous lens. I coaxed my cousin to take a short ride in the canoe to a neighboring trout stream but a half mile up the river, then drew the canoe partly out of water in a very pretty cove, seated her on the stern of the canoe, placed a paddle in her hands, accompanying all with copious hints of advice and directions, and then took the picture. That night, for I did all my developing at night, I visited my dark-room, a Canadian Pacific railway caboose switched on an unused siding, and developed four plates, three of which were very good, and the fourth, the one previously mentioned, was a complete success. Every detail was as clear cut as life, the pose was good, the expression, all that could be desired. As a consequence, I was very exultant and boasted among my friends, saying that photography was easy to learn if you were only careful and had good taste. But, alas, how little I knew of the art, for the next set of six plates were all failures of greater or lesser degree. Now I look over my collection of photographs, of which I ain very proud, and I am carried back to the days when I struggled with the mysteries of lights and shadows. I look over those nrst pictures and I see the dimly dehned or ill chosen back grounds, the over exposed or out of focus plates, the startling objects taken from startling points of view, and I compare them with the neatly finished and more artistic work of my more experienced attempts with a great deal of self-satisfaction and pardonable pride. After having experimented with objects and scenes near by, I decided to go, with a friend, after views of special interest some distance away. We planned a canoe trip up the river to a neighboring lake, then to climb the mountain side and obtain a view of the grand scenery of the valley. I accomplished the feat, taking a day to do it, and then made this grand original dis- covery, that it is not every grand scene that can bear transferring to a photograph. Although the scene from the crest of the mountain was sublime, yet my photo- graph of it gave no suggestion of that beauty. The foreground had a couple of very prominent trees, while the mountain side and valley looked dim and unnatural, and the white glare in the centre of the view represent- ed the lake, and the distant mountains gave the appear- ance of a fogged plate more than anything else. From this point I dated my real success in the art of reproducing the beauties of nature. I began to study what could be put into a picture, and how to place my camera to obtain the best possible results. I made a special study of the point of view. I studied the effect of different lights on the different classes of scenes, I experimented on backgrounds and fore- grounds, the prominence of my central subject and the range of minor attractions. I could look at a lake, framed in all the splendor of a Northern Autumn and decide at a glance whether it could be transferred to a negative or not. I could. stroll along the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway and pick out the most pictur- esque views. I would stumble upon a log house of the kind known as a shack, built during the time of the con- struction of the road, and I would readily see that the hastily constructed corners of the log house, the scoop roof, the chinks nlled with moss, in fact, the Zouz' ensemble gave an object that would not only look picturesque in a picture, but would be a subject of wonder and of interest to my friends in civilization. I organized canoeing or trout fishing parties, bringing back from each several souvenirs of very pleasant outings, that to this day move me strangely by the retrospect they so vividly call to mind. I explored numerous trout streams, occasionally stumbling upon the most romantic scenery, while very often I would wander into the most out of the way places, that more than repaid me for the time and labor expended by the wonderful beauty hidden away in solitude, without a single trace of the presence of man. From these trips I brought back many a trophy, now the picture of a dharming nook along the bank of some trout stream, or a lonely falls where some small river tumbled noisily over the rocks into the basin below, with its framework of luxuriant mosses and underbrush, untouched by the ax of mang and again, while canoeing down White River, come to the head ofa rapids and End an old canoe with battered ends and broken ribs, lying stranded upon the rocks, bring- ing vividly to mind the days of railway construction in that locality, when the river was the highway of sup- plies, and in consequence, was thronged with canoes freighting provisions and other supplies from Lake Superior to the line of railway. As the amateur photographer passes from the petty annoyances and troubles of extreme ignorance through all the different degrees of partial success until he attains the point of ordinary prohciency, he experiences all the various sensations of gratification and triumph. Noting as he does, the progress he has made and is making, his more esthetic taste, his more cultivated relish of Nature's beauties, his keener per- ception of the splendor of what may be every-day subjects, he suddenly discovers that he is a photo- graphic enthusiast. It is not that ridiculous objects alone tempt this camera, or that freak subjects become aihobby to him, or even that he has created a strong desire to bring back trophies of some outing expedi- tiong but that there is within him an awakening of a sense of the beautiful, the existence of which he was not aware. This almost unconscious awakening devel- ops into an appreciation of the beautiful in Nature to such an extent that the eye intuitively seeks the more picturesque and grander scenes, even in ordinary local- ities, and who can estimate the refining and ennobling influences that enter into one's existence by the acqui- sition of culture imparted by such an inspiring teacher as Nature? In the collection of scenes that call to mind every phase of your struggle with the mystery of sunlight and shadow, you take a strange pleasure in contrasting the successes with your first crude attempts, while the praise of a brother artist over some especially interest- ing subject is music to you. In later years, when the former life has almost faded away and your lot is placed amid different scenes and perhaps more commonplace environments, when memory calls into prominence the retrospect of former days, you take from their hiding place the trophies of your skill and for hours you wander amid the grandeur of Northern solitudcs, peering into roman- tic nooks, climbing the almost inaccessible sides of rocky cliffs, exploring the natural beauties hidden away in mossy ravines, strolling along some picturesque trout stream, now standing on the crest of some lonely mountain, and again at the edge of a quiet lake, almost hidden by a heavy frame of rich evergreen. Thus, in the quiet of your ownfroom, one again lives over those happy days spent with 'a camera amid the wilds. 1 ti i i if xi, S is K .. YE tr ' as Mfg , , S PI-IANTASIAE.

Q25 To memory's halls, though thoughts are turning, The future bright with hope is burning, That coming years true fame may tell, So full of hope we sing farewell.

In the rivalry of classes, we, the juniors, make the claim That our class, of all past classes, has obtained the greatest name And our signature we've written on the scroll of college fame. CHORUS: Now with a cheer, Hip, Hurrah! Chorus again, Hurrah! Ring out the song with an easy swing, Easily and gaily sing, Ninety-seven! Sing, Oh! Fal an a Yah, with a Yeet, Yeet, Yeet! When, as Freshmen, you remember, our reception made you stare WVe, the people, rushed the growler in a way extremely rare, And the students all united in a tribute true and fair. CHORUS. And that splurge was overshadowed by the riper fruits of skill,- By the triumphs of our banquet, when as Sophs we gave a chill To the College aggregation, in a way they feel it still. CHORUS. I vi How we entertained the ladies in a manner quite aufaz'!, - Not a hitch in all the program,-feasting in a regal way, As the gosshawks tried their finest to get on our little lay. CHORUS Now, as Juniors, we are striving to keep up the pace we've set, And our natty publication proves to all we're in it yet, While, as Seniors, we will exit with a flourish, you can bet. CHORUS SOIVIE HEART-RAYS. AVE Lucas cleared the stair-case at three bounds. and into the den of his fellow-Soph., Robert Fielding, he bounced. I-Iello, old man! I-Iard at it, as usual. Suppose you can tear yourself away from the society of your beloved Blackstone long enough to get yourself elected on the track team? Come, hustle up-we've just three minutes to get over to the campus. Guess we can make it tho'-sprinters, both of us. Campus? Track team? I don't understand. My friend, kindly shake yourself and return to earth. Allow me to remind you that the illustrious class of '98, of the University ofi, convenes this afternoon at 4:30, for the purpose of electing its track team, which same is confidently expected to carry off the verdant palm for '98 in the coming season. Also, that my estimable friend Bobby Field- ing, who has gained no mean reputation as a runner, by a very small amount of wire-pulling in this same assemblage, will undoubtedly secure an election and ultimately cover himself with glory and cause the hearts of all his friends and relatives to burst with pride. It is now 42292. Are you coming, or are you not? XVhy-I-0 Dave! I had forgotten that the meet- ing was this afternoon-and the western mail goes out at six! XNhat under the canopy has ffm! to do with it? Bob Fielding, are you deranged? I tell you you mm! go! You won't have the ghost of a chance if you're not there. You can better afford a dozen fiunks than lose that election. Come onll' Oh, that's not the trouble-it's not the lessons- it's-pshawl I might as well out with it. See here- it's just this way. You see, I always get off a letter to the folks at home on this train, so that father gets it when he goes to town Saturday afternoon. They count on it-I don't know, I'm sure, what would happen to Mother if it shouldn't come. That's all-I can't go. You had better hurry alongf' VVell, of all-the- idiots! was Dave's only remark on the subject, mut- tered under his breath as he strode down the street. Now, Father, do listen to reason. That mail doesn't come in for over an hour yet, and you know very well that it won't take you more than twenty minutes to get to town, and you can't spend more than ten minutes on that little trading, and then you'll wait around in that cold post-office and make your rheuma- tism worse. You might just as well sit right here by the warm fire for half an hour yet. It was a sweet, motherly little woman who spoke, trotting around the tidy little kitchen as she talked, clearing away the remains of their frugal dinner. I s'pose I am foolish, Mother-I s'pose I am. But I don't know as I'm much to blame, either. Such a noble boy as our Robert is-who wouldn't be proud of him? And a week is so long! Sometimes I get so impatient towards the end of the week, it seems as if I couldn't wait for the next letter. Let's see, Mother- what was that he said in the last letter about what the professor said to him after his recitation that day? I can't think of just the Words. And then the two went over again the discussion of the minutest details of the last letter from their college son, proudly repeating verbatim his accounts of his little triumphs in the class-room, untiringly going over the same ground they have traversed every day for a week. When at last the father started for town, the mother seated herself at the window to await his return. 0 young man in the far away college town, do you realize that these two dear old folks are dependent on your young life for their very existence? Their horizon is contracted close about them. shutting their lives into an almost breathlessly small space, except that one avenue opens out for them, leading into a broad, beautiful expanse that is filled with all the gaiety and ibreeziness of college life.. It is upon the fresh and invigorating breaths from that other world that they live. Your weekly letters are to them at once motive and strength for existence. Father Fielding brought in the letter and deposited it in his wife's la-p, as usual, then hovered about the chair in suppressed excitement, while she, her hands trembling with nervous pleasure, added the preparatory polish to her already shining glasses, carefully inspected the address and post-mark, whose every feature was Sowell known to them both, held the envelope up to the light and carefully tore off the end. Then she drew out the closely-written sheets, peeked into the envelope to make sure of overlooking nothing, and began, in a voice Hlled with happy little quavers: My beloved father and dear little mother: Your lawyerfningj son is somewhat rushed for time to-day, so we will call this a brief. Ecstatic little chuckle from the beloved father, who proceeded to carefully explain the puns to the dear little mother. You see, I have basely procrastinated, till now I shall have to scribble furiously in order to get off my customary dozen pages of trash. Then followed gay descriptions of his recent ex- ploits, interspersed with loving inquiries about the father's rheumatism and rapturous praises of the mit- tens his mother had sent. A detailed account of the doings of the week was given, trivial enough in itself, but fraught with thrilling interest and momentous importance to the two, who eagerly drank in every syllable. By the way -the letter ran, I shall not go in for the Sophomore track medal this spring. I am not altogether sorry, either. I really ought not to spare the time for training, and I know how mother always worries for fear I will over-exert. The blessed boy! exclaimed the mother. 'That was my only anxiety, and now Ineedn't fret about that any more. On the last page they read: 'I was thinking about you last night just before I dropped asleep, about how patient mother always was with me when I was asmall boy-a regular little sinner I was, too, I remember well enough-stubborn and generally unendurable. But mother has always been so considerate of my feelings, and father has worked so hard to give me a chance to amount to something- Qh, I tell you it makes a fellow feel like slaving for all he's worth, just to show that he's not an ungrateful wretch. It is my dearest hope that I may be able to show to my noble, self-sacrihcing parents some day that they have not lavished their love in vainf, Bless his dear heart! said the father in a voice that broke suspiciously, while the mother stealthily raised the corner of her white apron to her eyes.

Their main object was the development of Christian charac- ter and the prosecution of active Christian work among the young women of the institutionfl Nearly every year since then one or more delegates have been sent to the State conventions, from which have been brought back new ideas and inspiration. Both Foreign and Home Missionary work has been done by the society in a number of ways, but one of the most interesting facts is that so many of the members have consecrated their lives to Missionary work. One member went to Japan, where she passed away after a short, but faithful, service. The first secretary of the association, Mrs. Bunker, is now in South Africa. India has three representatives from this associationg Mrs Martin, Mrs. Curtiss and Mrs. Kurtz, all of whom are actively engaged in the work. Some of the others are doing Home Missionary work in Chicago and other places. Much help has been received from this association, as all those who have been members testify. ln the summer of '95, a delegate was sent to Lake Geneva for the flrst time, and the good received has made the young women desirous of sending several this year. The fall campaign was an interesting feature of the work of the association last year. Special efforts were made to welcome the new students to the college, that they might feel at home among their new surround- ings. Much has been gained from the visits of several of the State Association workers, so that the prayer meetings held every week are increasing in interest and strength. HE Young Men's Christian Association is, and has been for many years, the potent factor in carrying forward religious work among the young rnen of the college. The aim of this organization is to keep alive and growing, the Christian spirit of the students, to train them for faithful service, and to strengthen all bythe kindly influence of Christian fellow- ship and mutual helpfulness. For this purpose the various departments are in the hands of committees appointed on account of special htness for their particu- lar work. The pleasant rooms of the Association are conveniently situated in the dormitory. One of the prominent features of the work is the college prayer-meeting held every Monday evening in connection with the Y. VV. C. A. These meetings are well attended and exert a wonderful influence upon the Christian life of the College. The young men also hold a meeting for prayer and conference every Sunday morning, as a means of preparation for aggressive Christian work during the day. Classes for Bible study are organized every year, and by their means, systematic training for the work of the Master is carried on. At various times our Association has been repre- sented at the summer school at Lake Geneva, and as a result of the training there received, renewed vigor has been imparted to our work, and a deep and earnest con- secration is apparent in all branches of the Association. Many of our members from time to time hold meetings in neighboring townsg a number of them con- duct gospel meetings every Sunday at the county jail, and in many other ways the influence of the Associa- tion is brought to bear on the outside world. LITERARY SOCIETIES. TI-IE EURODELPHIAN SOCIETY. HE Eurodelphian literary society, composed of young ladies, was formed in 1856. It was an informal organization until 1863, when a consti- tution and by-laws were adopted. The object of its work is well expressed by the society motto: The strength of a cable lies in its strands. The regular meetings are held weekly on Friday evenings. The work consists of debates, essays, reci- tations, impromptus and readings, with music inter- spersed. The membership is about forty. It is cus- tomary for the society to give an annual open meeting, and frequently other public entertainments. In addition to its pleasant social features, the beneflts derived from society work are, that it gives facility of expressing thought, aids in attaining self- possession of manner and in overcoming timidity, and gives some practical lessons in simple parliamentary rules. In no other department of college life is found such a mingling of pleasure and profit as there is in society Work. SI-IERVVOOD RI-IETORICAL SOCIETY. HE Sherwood Rhetorical Society of Kalamazoo College was the iirst organization for literary culture connected with the institution. It was founded in the year 1851 and was incorporated under its present name in the year 1860. Perhaps the constant aim of the Sherwoods to carry out the spirit of their motto, Per Asjnenz fm' Axim, has given to the society its growth and influ- ence. The Sherwood Society began with less than a score of members and no society home, and has since added to its roll over 700 members and occupies rooms Whose improvements and furnishings have cost over 351,500 This year 60 of its members were in attend- ance, 44 of whom belonged to the college department. On each Friday night of the school year the society assembles for the discussion of current topics and questions of interest, and frequently speakers from away address the society on important questions. The Society can well boast of its members and the influence that they have exerted upon the world, for many a man now in the professional or business world points with pride to the enjoyable and instructive hours passed in Sherwood Hall. - , THE PI-IILOLEXIAN LYCEUIVI. -f HE Philolexian Lyceum was organized in 1855. The work of the society, as its name indicates, has been the discussion of living questions, and thorough drill in parliamentary usage. ' The aim has been to give each member such self- control, and power of expression, that he can play a creditable and influential part on the platform, in the pulpit, or on the floor of any deliberative assembly. To this end the debate and extemporaneous speech are made important features of the work. Oratory of a more studied sort, however, and music and elocution are not neglected. The society is represented in all walks of life by men who ascribe much of their success to the training received in Philo Hall. At present, the society is well equipped for effect- ive work. A library of 700 volumes, a fine piano recently purchased, a pleasantly furnished room, and above all, a large and enthusiastic membership, make their future prospects bright indeed. ATHLETICS. T is a fortunate thing for the Athletic Association that the hrst junior Annual is issund this year. It is also a pleasure for the Juniors to have such a report regarding the condition of athletics. Never in the memory of the oldest student has there been such a splendid opportunity to do a little modest bragging as at the present time. NVith the memory ofthe occasional victories ofthe past fresh in our minds, it is a pleasing task to write up the athletic department of Kalamazoo College, now that our athletes have awakened from their lethargy and are making a name and a record for themselves and for the college. The impetus given athletics by our entry into the inner circle of the M. L A. A. has proven sufficient to inspire, on the part of the boys, a desire for sytematic training. It has also brought good material to the surface, thatuntil recently was unknown, so that we have representative men in every branch of athletics. LAWN TENNIS. N lawn tennis, as in other sports, a very great interest is taken. Unlike the other games, the fair co-eds take A part, and so attract the stronger sex. Early in the Spring, through the Summer, and again in the Fall, the courts are filled with players. The class of '98 own a fine clay court, while the two other courts are the property of the tennis association. Kalamazoo College tennis experts have not had the opportunity to put themselves against other college representatives, but this year will have a chance to estimate the skill of other college players. Local tournaments have taken place each held day, and the following held the championship: GENTLEIVIEN. LADIES. '92,-George Johnston. '92,-Miss Alice Brooks, '95. '93 E. Smith, '94.

ROMANCE. fSUGGESTED BY THE FRENCH OF MADAME DESBORDES VALNIOREJ If he could only have known the depths of the soul he has wounded, Tears of my heart, if he only could witness your passionate How- Ah! if this heart, all enthralled by the rapturous joy of his presence Could but by look or by sigh utt'rance find-if he only could know! P If he could value the power of an ardor so deep and unwav'1'ing, Stronger and surer than aught in this treacherous life here below, Proud of the power to enkindle a Hame of such infinite ferver Surely he ne'er would have passed it' with scorn-if he only could know! What if my eyes in confusion did lower their lids and so hide it- The yearning of tender affection that in their mute pleading would show, Could he not see in their drooping the proof of a hidden emotion? Keenest of minds in aught else,lwhy so blind ?-if he only could know! Had I but counted the peril that lurked in his dark eyes resistless, Weaving a spell of enchantment that's destined forever to grow, I would have snatched from the charm of his glance my poor heart all reluctant I would have Hed as from death to escape-if he only could know! Silence, my heart! These complainings are cowardly, weak, unavailingg Vain, O ye tears, were your torrents though streams of life-blood they should How Ever repelled by his coldness, the flames of mad love in my bosom Prisoned, shall gnaw at my heart-strings till death-if he only could know! -FLORENCE LATOURETTE ik A , ---n 'f , - W - f f,f, , , , ' ' ' 'JC '- ' ' A ' J'f ':E:QQ?f'E,'fJ-'NPhf'J'T 7 34'DQTT?Sim vcz?Qe v-v fxrqr-: b3..:- .-1 Y ' J' FTM W f?-2 322 'sfiw-fm 9- ,F +2ff-Nfffl +-fzf,Qf+, ?f2 12:' ffszf-ff' vtfgf fe1E3ifii'Qrf'-ff if gf V M v 1 -at-ff N'1Qff3,, E?

Listen! ye students, and ye shall hear How the faculty meeting assembled near To the Cathode staff on the fourth of May. Never will junior forget that day, Nor the wonderful things recorded here. It was Kai Gar's room, on the second floor, We had entered by stealth just Eve minutes before. Into PreXie's office, right below, Were coming Sammie and Seth, when lo! On safety vehicles drew near, A score of ladies, in habit so dear To the wheel-woman's heart, this present year. Sammie', his glasses with two fingers raised, And peered through the window with steadfast gaze. That garb's quite neat, said the modern Greek. Well,-yes,-I suppose, was replied with thought, But my mind to two things could never be broughtf- To that middle part for the young men's hair, And suits with pants for the ladies to wearf' The door swung back, and in there came The blithe little ladyu of Cornell fame. Straight after her followed, with martial stride, Herr Williams-the blunt -whom the Seniors tried. Then came kind Miss Johnson, the lonely Sir Grant, Sweet Mademoiselle, and Prof. Jenks with a plant. The president wheeled about in his chair, Saw the people assembled there, Greeted them all with a gracious air, And the faculty meeting was now begun. VVe Juniors with new cathospectophone, Who established ourselves in the steward's room Were ready to look and ready to listen For expressions grave and for words of wisdom. Hark! he's speaking from the platform Of that corner room below. Hush, just listen as he's talking- Let us get this if We can. Yes, he says, I must believe it.'! More and more convinced is he That when other things are equal,'! As you very well can see, There's a lack of fitness in this - 0h! you're quite mistaken, Doctor, That's not it at ezllf' said he, VVho, with independant spirit, Came to us from 'cross the sea. I-loo! rah! Hi! ka!', Hear the echo From the dormitory hill! How it breaks upon the stillness Of that room which teachers fill! Fraulein's,' ear is quick to catch it. Kai Gar's face the smiles o'errun. Then our punster comes belated, Tells them that by one 'twas won. Toughy's very glad to hear it, Someone echoes, yes, indeed, PreXie's sure we're very grateful When our athletes take the lead. Now the funny-man, but slow man, Might have come as well, before, Had he but remembered only That 'twas Monday, but no more Could he hear a bright young Freshman For his Sherwood prize rehearse, Than he'd quite forget all meetings, Rapt by eloquence of verse. Then there follow long discussions, Thrilling things we listen to- Much We must forbear relating, For we know 'twould never do. Shall all absent marks be zeros, Shall the tardy marks be, too, Who are doing well in studies, Will the Senior class get through, ' Should they have a week's vacation, What is thought 'tis best to do, May the lass make up a credit, Should one in three years get through, It some students should be cefzsmfezi, Still what others should be jzwzisedj How the standing of the college May, not lowered be, but raised? Thus they reason on 'till evening, 'Till by gnawing hunger stirred, All do quickly leave the meeting, And along the hall are heard Sounds of swift, departing footsteps, I-Iastening home to meals deferred. IVIY IDEAL. I will call her my ideal--this charming little girl, For she rattles me, she jiggers me, she gets me in a whirl 'With the cutest little speeches, emphasizing what she said By tantalizing glances and a nodding of her head. - So I'll tell in simple language of this haughty little minx, Who is neither too ethereal, nor yet that noted sphinx, For she's just as cute as can be, and as aggravating, too, That to hate her or to love her, I don't know what to do. But that little girlie, with silken hair and curly, Tells me in accents surly, That You don't have to! TRUTH. She was a tall and fair and slender Maiden, towards whom all hearts turned, and tender VVere the glances on her head, that rested As with all she laughed and jested. In the Spring of life she stood. ae we as I-Ie was tall, but dark and somber, One whose looks made all men wonder How he e'er had won her heart, Lingering far as one apart, In life's Winter there he stood. Wfhy she loved him? Thing uncertain, O'er the mystery hung a curtain Save for her, who owned his right, All her life's combats to hght, For she knew his heart was good. HOW THE WISE WERE FOOLED. A.

In the Hall, where wit and beauty learn for learning's sake, not duty, There dwells a prim preceptress, who is prim as prim can be, While chafing at this primness, the entire squad of beauty Enjoy the pleasing episode I now relate to thee. The chapel bell was ringing and the birds their songs were singing, As tripping down the pathway came a very winsome maid, While walking o'er the hillside, comes old Dave, the postman, An urgent invitation, putting all else in the shade. fbringing This note will just remind you that on such a date we'll find you Enrolled among our number in a festive gay At Home. So do not disappoint us, but leave every care behind you, 'For you cannot do at Athens what you'd like to do at Romef Now our friend is on the hustle, and the I-Iall's a scene of bustle, At least reports that reach us tell what now we must believe, A hack, bouquet of roses, are included in the rustle, While the slickest bib-and-tucker many compliments receive.

In a trice occurred a scurry, as those girlies in a hurry Betook themselves to parts unknown, far from that awful eye, And vainly in the gloaming they attempt to hide their worry, And so escape her wrathfulness in childish sulk and sigh. But a maid hid in the larder, blessed with brains to Carry, Harder And more acutely schemed to shun her awful fate, When quickly then she started, There's no need of hiding farther! What hitch had happened in her plan? The party breaks up late! Girls! oh, girls! I guess we've found her land l'll prove it when we In coming home so early, in a very awkward plight. fsound herl Now let us face the music, and we'll gather all around her,- To have a joke upon her is a cause for high delight. Then the little lady faces all the group, and slowly paces The hallway in a vain attempt to seem to be at ease, While swiftly over face and neck the tell tale color races, Oh, girls, don't ever mention this! Not if you love me-p-l-e-a-s-e. Promise me that you will never tell of how I chanced to sever Connections with a party that did not exist at all, Yes, willingly I'll grant you all the favors that are ever Bestowed upon the inmates of this very charming Hall. But I warn you, 'woe betide thee,' if a student dare deride me, By giving notoriety to my peculiar break, To print it in the Index is to coolly rnock and chide me, I'll stop the press,-expell the staff, for rufded feeling's sake. Here's the sequel. She unaided, and there's none who dare gainsay Placed clogs upon the gearing of the freedom of the press, fit, By threats she backed her planning, and succeeded as she laid it, And triumphed in suppressing it, much to our great distress. 1 v ri! 1 X 'l iyf' ji lf!

White lay the snow on that starry night, As I worked on my toilet with heart glad and light, Then the hack came up at a quarter of nine, To take me with you to the banquet fine. Proud was my step as I walked by your side, For had you not told me I'd be your own bride? So happy I was, as I called myself thine, In that glorious spread, our banquet fine. But soon, too soon, was that evening o'er, And softly you bade me good-night at the door, To my chamber I stole and in slumber divine, Came soft dreams of thee and the banquet Hne. Ere the first peep of dawn had brightened the skies, With feelings of pleasure, I opened my eyes, Seized quickly a pen, and with tender design, Poured out my thoughts on the banquet fine. From the pen flowed words I hardly controlled, As I opened my heart and my story told Of me, of thee, of mine, of thine, p All the fond thoughts of the banquet fine. I ne'er shall forget your tender surprise, Whenrny token of love met your smiling blue eyes, And then you vowed you'd never resign The girl that you took to the banquet fine. But alas, alas, for our fondest hope, Our courtship, my father relentlessly broke. As is torn from the oak the clinging vine, So my heart from thee, since the banquet line. So down in the basement, all rumpled and torn, Lies the tender love poem of the maiden forlorn. For try as I may, I must evermore pine, For the lover I had at the banquet ine.

Om' worn' for that, and theres no better guarantee in the world, Hawthorne, Model B, price 555.00 is one of. the strongest wheelslniade, and suited for the heaviest riders. It will will stand the roughest sort of usage on road work. Our White Star No. 1, price 545.00 compares favorably with most of the so-called high grade wheels o 1 the market and is superior to many of them. Our word for it. Now THE QUESTION IS: Do you care to pay 51530.00 or 535.00 more for a wheel that cannot be any better than as good, and perhaps not that? If not, send for our new Catalogue M, a beautifully illustrated and typographically perfect book that tells 07ZZjf of bicycles and cycling sundries, and tells all about them.
