THE EVEIL THE YEAR BOOK OF KENYON COLLEGE; BEING A RECORD OF THE AFFAIRS OF THAT INSTITUTION, INTER SPERSED WITH DIVERSE SK ETC H E S AND LOCAL SCENES PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1905 M C M I V Copyright. 1904, by the Reveille Board of 1905. Press of Spahr Glenn Columbus. Ohio TH E Y say this spring is like last spring, And next spring will be like to this; And since all springs the same sweet ardors bring, One spring will not be much to miss. But oh, this spring it feels a joy more high. The opening year exults in fuller powers, A wider rainbow sweeps across the sky,— Tliis spring, this spring is ours. They say the songs birds sing this year Are but an annual encore; The same sweet notes that Eve held new and dear Are still repeated o’er and o’er. But oh, canst thou not catch another tone Among the songs that fill the leafing bowers, A tone which spells a meaning ail its own ?— This spring, this spring is ours. They say the flowers blooming now Bloomed last year and will bloom the next; And he who setteth him to find out how They differ, will be sore perplexed. But oh, new buds awaken out of sleep. New worlds awake, and out of all their flowers The dearest is the one we pluck and keep,— This spring, this spring is ours. O. E. W. With honest admiration and respedt we dedicate this book to William Peters Reeves. BOARD OF EDITORS Editor-in-Chief Maxwell Budd Long, ♦ Y Associate Editors James Madison Smith, A K E Harold Bramwell Williams, A T A Art Editor James William Upson, A At Artist Clarence Coles Phillips, A A 4 Business Manager Karl Robinson Ricketts, B 0 n PREFACE KENYON COLLEGE leans back with conscious pride on her venerable traditions and complacently hears herself called old-fashioned and behind the times. Hanna Hall, the new water-works, and, to some, even the Steam heat in the buildings will seem rank intru sions of modem conveniences. To such we must excuse ourselves for this attempt to embody in a rare specimen of the modem book-maker’s art the mellowed customs of the little college. Our readers themselves may judge of our sue cess at harmonizing the two elements. ® The appearance of the book we have aimed to keep almoSt severely chaSte and simple,—above all, agreeable to sight and touch, so that the volume may commend itself, not merely to those who have the interests of Kenyon at heart, but to anyone catching sight of it. The Japanese parchment, the old-face type, the plain paper cover, all betray the same purpose. We have cherished originality; but we have zealously tried to avoid the freakishly novel. The half-tones, tipped in, in publishers’ language, may at firSt seem factitious, but we would remind our readers that high-grade half-tones cannot be made on the parchment; besides, on closer thought, they do not seem to be really out of keeping with the general tone of the volume. 5 The Board felt highly complimented when the remark was made that more men in college have been at work on this Reveille” than on any which Kenyon has ever yet produced. Such indeed, is a Statement of our working P e« elwn plan. The Annual has been compiled and issued by the class of 1905; but it was composed by the Students at large of Kenyon College. Two advantages have thus been sought. In the firSt place, the book becomes more truly representative and is surrounded with an atmosphere more characteristic of Kenyon, when the materials are drawn from varied sources and selected with the special purpose of exemplifying the Kenyon spirit. This feature would recommend it particularly to the Alumni. On the other hand the undergraduate body will feel more intimately con cemed and more responsible for the success of the Annual, if they can see therein the results of their own personal efforts. We have aimed to keep it free from class or fac tional prejudices; we have done away with meaningless nonsense; and in the grinds we have attempted to provoke a smile without inflicfling a Sting. The 1905 Reveille1 is at peace with all men and bears ill-will towards none. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to Mr. C. C. Phillips, formerly of the class of 1905, who is at present studying art in New York. He has returned to the Hill for the express purpose of illustrating this Reveille and by his sketches has added Still further to the local color of the book. | The merits and faults of our book we now leave to the discovery and kindly criticism of our readers.

Marcus A Hanna ■■I page thirty MARCUS ALONZO HANNA THE Reveille of laft year was dedicated by the Board of Editors to the Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna, United States Senator from Ohio. The present Board of Editors wish to put upon record their sense of the loss that the undergraduates of Kenyon College have sus tained in the death of this distinguished man. € It is not merely that Senator Hanna was a generous benefactor of Kenyon, nor that every undergraduate organization—athletic teams, glee club, Reveille —was sure of his sympathetic attention and ready help,—though for these evidences of friendship every Kenyon man is grateful: but the basis of our regret is something more personal and intimate. During the last three years Senator Hanna has, by personal visits and constant correspondence, come into close touch with our college life, and we have had opportunity to feel the charm of that frankness and cordiality and sincerity which made him personal friends everywhere, even out of political oppo nents. C Can the members of the Glee Club of 1902-03 ever forget his appreciation of their singing at the luncheon on the day the comer stone of Hanna Hall was laid, or his delighted reception of the somewhat audacious songs in his honor? Every man in College was proud of his kindly words of praise for the speakers of the Senior Class, with which he began his notable address last Commencement P T lK ty.oop Day. And again last October, when Kenyon men, regard less of political affiliations, turned out en masse to enliven his campaign meeting in Mount Vernon, his gracious and grateful appreciation was such as to elevate him to a Still higher pedestal in our affectionate regard. Not merely as members of an institution which has received his benefac tions, but as individuals do we lament his death most deeply. CJ Monuments and memorials may be erected to Senator Hanna elsewhere, but it will be by the hands of friends, whereas at Kenyon he reared his own memorial. The noble building that bears his wife’s name will tell implicitly the Story of his character, his interests, and his home life, such as no formal memorial can ever do explicitly. Here in the beautiful Kenyon Park, already ennobled by so many associations, the man himself, as he really was, will speak to many generations. C[ Another memorial too, though it bears the name of another, Senator Hanna has left at Kenyon. Mr. Carnegie’s endowment for a chair of Economics was given at the solicitation of Mr. Hanna shortly before his death, and though our professorship of Economics will bear the name of Kenyon’s distinguished alumnus, Edwin M. Stanton, Lincoln’s great War Secretary, it is no less a memorial of Senator Hanna than the similar professorship to be established in our sister college at Cleve land. C| Truly his works do follow him. Kenyon will feel for many years the beneficent results of his loyal fnendship. thirty-! ® THERE IS A THRILL rhere is a thrill of spirit which love imparts, When turn our thoughts to Kenyon’s glory; Both old and young With single tongue Unite to sing our Alma Mater’s story: Then let our song ascend in unison! Our loyal hearts avow no other; It unifies. It never dies. The love of Kenyon, our mother. Thy beauty strikes a chord of harmony And bends us to a high endeavor; Thy glorious name— Thy spotless fame— We’ll cherish in our hearts forever: Then let our song ascend in unison! Our loyal hearts avow no other; It unifies, It never dies. The love of Kenyon, our mother.

We Seniors are in a somewhat similar position;—not that anyone would take us for sages, but in that we have put behind us the hal cyon days of our careless freshman year and have not yet attained anything in the nature of what statesmen would call an adequate quid pro quo. Some of us have, it is true, acquired the appetite for printer s ink, with which for the past, let us say, fifteen years diligent professors and masters have labored to inspire us, but what have we to show in place of that joyous greenness which we loft shortly after our arrival on the Hill ? We are no longer either care-free or altogether verdant, and we are not as yet either men of affairs or men of great learning, h or nearly four years we have been students together in the finest college in Ohio,—to us, the finest in the country. For nearly four years the shades of great men gone be fore us have been the companions of our daily walks. All the wealth and richness of rare association have been ours to enjoy and their influence has been almoft over powering. €J It is said of College Seniors generally that they think inordinately well of themselves. Surely College tkuty-fcr Seniors generally have not the constant grand and sublime reminders of their own littleness that we men of Kenyon daily receive. Q We realize that as yet our attainments have been few, but there is cause to rejoice in that we have received all and more than we had any right to expect. We have learned to love the old Hill and our Alma Mater and to feel that they love us. We have formed associations which it will be a joy for us to re member as long as life lafts, and even if we never quite learn how to transmute its leaden metal into gold, these associations and the books we have learned to love will render it a not altogether sorrowful pilgrimage, tj The time has come at last for us to leave and to make room for others, to exchange the long hand-clasp of lingering farewell. To the incoming Seniors we can say from the bottom of our hearts that we know they will shortly dim our fame by the honor they will do the mantle of seni ority, so we turn to the Sophomores and beseech them to preserve the glory of the even numbers. But it is to the Freshmen that we turn for the greatest sympathy, for we are soon to be placed in a similar position, and we can only hope that the great wicked world will observe toward us the motto which we, perhaps imperfectly, in our quasi-patronizing way have tried to follow in our dealings with them:—Maxima debetur pueris reverentia.

Class Song (Tax: «NUryUnd� ) There stands on Gambicr’s wooded hill An aged and vine-clad hall, That seems to us more sacred now Than back in Freshman fall; For Kenyon has to us, her sons. Taught else than ancient lore In teaching us to love the class— The class of nineteen four. Come classmates join the happy throng. While songs ring loud and clear; Fill up your steins and drink a toast— And drink it down, sincere To Kenyon and to Kenyon’s sons With good luck, more and more; Refill your steins and then again To dear old nineteen four. And in the years that are to come. When life seems dull and cold, Look back upon the times you had In those happy days of old; And in your hearts may still there be That love which we adore— The love for Kenyon and the class The class of nineteen four.

Canton, Ohio PH forty-oae JUNIOR REMINISCENCES WHEN Freshmen are enduring the humiliation which comes with the first year in college, they naturally long for the title of Sophomore. They think that the ability to claim such an honored name carries with it innumerable joys and blessings. Nor are they en tirely wrong; for in place of the inevitable humiliation come the occasional triumphs as well as responsibilities, bringing with them satisfaction and reward as well as care and trouble. Yet these men, now Sophomores, are not entirely satisfied, for they have not the honor of being upper-class men; they feel that, after all, their childish exploits are not wholly things of the past and they find that the bubble has floated just a little higher, even if it has not adually burst. Their ambition has now risen to an insatiable desire to see Phil. I, Eng. 5, and other such advanced studies on their schedule. Having attained this worthy goal, they feel an unspeakable satisfaction. For the first time, it seems that they have attained their end;—an end won only by dint of hard labor. This position the class of 1905 has reached after an eventful career and it is justly proud of the clean record it has made during its life at old Kenyon. Three years ago the tranquility of Gambier was disturbed by the advent of a small band of newcomers, as enthusiastic and ambitious as any who had ever come to the Hill. By force of circumstances this small band was made still smaller; but not before every man had learned to know and cherish the spirit of 1905 and Kenyon. Though few in numbers, we endured unflinchingly the inevitable during our Freshman year. Well do we remember the beginning of forty-ihrt«? that year. But very willingly do we pass over those first few days when that execrable word Freshman was to be heard on every side. More pleasant it is to recall our first class meeting, held in a field north of Bexley Hall. There, under the guidance of two kindly Juniors, we eletfed officers and laid our first plans. Early in the year it became clear that 1905 would carry away her share of athletic, execu tive, and scholastic honors. That she was capable of appre ciating the less serious side of college life was evidenced by two rousing smokers, During the months between our Freshman and Sophomore years we longed for the time when we could use that word Freshman —now no longer execrable. The time arrived and brought with it all the expected pleasure. Shortly afterwards, however, came the only considerable defeat we have suffered. Badly outnum be red, we were doomed to lose our Sophomore cane rush, but the spirit characteristic of the class was manifested by the nervy stand of those fifteen Sophomores against the ho$t of forty-five Freshmen; and even in defeat there was much honor. €[ Class strife, however, and strained relations have now been put aside to assume the more serious responsibil ities of Upper Classmanship. Our ill-feeling for the mem bers of the class ahead of us has long ago vanished and we can afford now to cherish even a grain of thankfulness toward them for many a seemingly unkind word or action. The only hard thought we hold against them is that they serve as a constant reminder that the end of our own course is fairly within sight. But we’re not there yet, and we re grateful for it. c c P fce forty-focr Nineteen Hundred and Five Class Officers Clarence Eugene Crook Thomas Ludlow Ferenbaugh Harold Bramwell Williams James Madison Smith Charles Clingman Maxwell Budd Long Class Colors Scarlet and Gray President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Toast Master Class Yell Carackl Carack!

Who now wear the doctor’s cap and gown: Lustily sing Nineteen Five 1 But though they climb clear out of sight. They cannot reach Fame’s pinnacle quite. For the stairs they mount is a broken flight— They can claim not Nineteen Five, Claim not Nineteen Five. Chorus Every man's a good fellow. Hale, hearty, and mellow. Zealous for Kenyon to strive; And we’ll drink one glass To a noble class— Singing Kenyon! and Nineteen Five! Our spirits are bold and our hearts are free. Lustily sing Nineteen Five I Our band is small, but all agree That in love, war, and letters mighty are we: Lustily sing Nineteen Five I We can laugh, sing, dance, flirt, make love, and talk— We can run, bat, throw, catch, fight, jump, and walk— We can write, paint, and draw with ink, colors, and chalk— Glorious old Nineteen Five, Glorious old Nineteen Five— Chorus For each man’s a good fellow, etc. Though the tongue may boast, deep in the heart Lovingly sing old Kenyon I Beats the thrill of spirit only love can impart And it shapes our ends with a consummate art: Lovingly sing old Kenyon 1 We may worry the profs, with conspiracies feD, We may give the poor Fresh a taste of h-----. V et love we all of them just as well — They are all of old Kenyon, All of old Kenyon— Chorus For each man's a good fellow.

I saw a little city on a hill. Its buildings were of Stone and of venerable design. The inhabitants thereof were few in number, but intellectual in bearing. I looked again; and I saw no less than two score of young men climbing the Hill by a well-trodden path. Underneath the dirt and soot of travel it was easy to see both by their clothes and manners that they were fresh from the parental roof. Straightway I thought to my self—1 a vaSt conglomeration of possibilities.' Cj My sight waxed stronger. I saw in the midst of those who await ed the newcomers, a motley crowd of some thirteen and one, whose looks betokened them to be year-old inhabitants of the town. To these was entrusted the privilege of wel coming the strangers. It grieved me sore that they received them not more cordially and that the men whose heads were burdened with a weightier load of years gave them not more encouragement. Cj My view was shut off and I mar veled if ’twere but a passing vision, a mere phantasy of my imagination. But soon the voice came again. I looked, and lo! The same little city, but more glorious than before. Again I saw a weary band plodding up the Hill. But something was wanting. Lonesomeness assailed my heart and my eyes gushed out with tears, for I missed some familiar faces. Cj And again the voice came to me and said, Weep not: look higher. And I looked and saw them PH «ty-ooe whom I sought. And each man bore the 'sigillum Ken yonensis' on his brow; and I rejoiced. I saw them wel come the new class. What a different reception! I mar veled greatly in my heart at the thrill of spirit which inspired them to their duty. 1 saw the Freshmen, dressed in the chilly garments of the night, appear at the call of my well beloved. Visions of tribunal sessions, where erring offenders were corrected and brought up in the way that they should go, floated before me. Great was the magnanimity and unselfishness of my Eletf in suffering the Freshmen to take part in the Senior dress parade. Q 'Surely,' thought 1, ' the vision is complete.' But no! Again am 1 carried away in spirit. I am led to a vast field—the field of college athletics. Next the gay sights of the waxed floor and the cosy parlors of Harcourt are opened to my view. I stand before a door on which is marked in letters of fire, Regis trar's Office. I enter; and before my eyes appears a scroll on which some five score names are writ. 1 could hold my peace no longer, but cried out with a loud voice: Who are these, that, in all my visions, seem to tower head and shoulders over all their fellow mortals? And the Voice answered: These are the members of the glorious class of 1906. Write in thy book all the words that have been spoken unto thee, and the visions thou hast seen—more will be shown thee in the time to come. f. j.

Now I must tell you right at the start, Mr. Editor and dear readers of the Reveille, that I regard such as unbecoming the dignity of a full-fledged college man. I have endeavored ever since I entered college to maintain a profound self-respedt in spite of the indignities to which I, in common with my classmates, have been sub jected. We do not believe in hazing, and never, no never, during our future course in college, will we participate in the abominable practice. By what right, I should like to know, do a coterie of ruffians consider themselves entitled to sit upon us in mock trials and dust our raiments as if they were so many carpets ? We won the rush, and what if external agencies did somewhat favor us ? Is that any reason why we should be afflicted in the hinder parts and put to a per petual shame ? And just because, with an ingenuity as yet unheard of, we departed from the college tradition (and I muSt say I think it is high time for some sensible Freshman class to do away with these idiotic traditions) by enlisting the services of five stalwart officers of the law to proted us from the brutality of the Sophomores; is that any reason, I say, seratim seriatim ac privatim, as the ancients have it? W Wty-M No! a thousand times No! No!! No!!! The impar tial reader might be inclined to think that after the infli ion of all these cruelties the class, so ably led by President Riley, would have but few kindly feelings towards the other Students of this college. If he does so think he is greatly mistaken. We take the deepest interest in our fellow stu dents; although, it must be confessed, that in view of the childish manner in which they so often behave, this interest is not unmingled with a certain amused compassion. No, we do not dislike Kenyon men,—we have attended the games of their athletic teams and cheered them in their sports,—we have gone to their mass meetings and voted in their assemblies,—we have striven to encourage them in every legitimate form of amusement, and if they have proved ungrateful we can only say that we are sorry and hope they will improve in time. €J And now let me add, by way of peroratio, (if 1 may speak in that Ciceronic Style which you have doubtless observed is mine to command), one word of timely, kindly, and yet stem warning: try us not too far, 1 pray you, O men of Kenyon, or the great class of Nine teen Hundred and Seven will rise as one man, determined never again to bend over. o.

We can hardly gainsay this, and, therefore, do not attempt it. The pad athletic year has been unfortunate; but we are far from being ashamed of it. Why? Simply because through it all Kenyon has main tained her old high standard,—not in achievements, it may be, but in the character of her participation. CJ It is a well recognized fact that wherever little Kenyon bucks up against the state giants, her teams always command respect. She takes her position without dispute among her sister colleges of many times her size. This is primarily due to the fad that her athletics have always been as pure and clean as any in the country. Her methods are open and above board, and her representatives, almost to a man. are gentle men. Practical results may be objected to theories, but examine Kenyon’s principle and it will be seen to be that toward which the American athletic world looks and drives as an ideal. Kenyon has taken a decided stand for pure, gentlemanly athletics, and this, with the grit she shows even in the times of her occasional weakness, endows her with an aristocratic dignity that makes itself felt wherever it is known. As the exponent of such an institution’s athletics we hold our head high and take pride in presenting the following pages. FOOT BALL AF T E R the rather unsuccessful foot ball season of 1902, all our L hopes rested in the coming season of 1903. At the beginning of the year our prospects were unusually bright. An exceptionally large squad of recruits turned out for the opening practice. Many of the candidates for the varsity had creditable records in intcr-scholastic foot ball. There was a noticeable lack of heavy line material and only a few of last year’s team were in college, but our back field was strong and we had a coach noted for his ability to turn out winning teams. The schedule was hard from the very start, and hurry up methods had to be resorted to, in order to get ready for our game with Oberlin, the first of the season, Our coach was equal to the occasion. The fact that a fumbling team is a losing team was impressed on each player’s mind. While we really out-played Oberlin, neither side sue ceeded in scoring. The results of the game showed that the team had the ability if it were only brought out. Next we made a creditable show ing against Case’s veterans. We were disappointed over our defeat, but not discouraged. All efforts were concentrated in preparing for Ohio State University, but as a result of over-confidence we were badly beaten. Smarting over that reverse we administered decisive defeats to both Denison and the University of Cincinnati. About this time, how ever, several of our best players were incapacitated by severe injuries and the rest of the season was an up-hill fight, In spite of the fact that defeat in the remaining games seemed inevitable to our badly crip pled team, the men worked faithfully and finished the season with the gameness and pluck characteristic of all elevens representing Kenyon on the gridiron.

Situated as we are, in a most attractive bit of country, and especially in the warm months when spring fever rages, we yet find the men turning out in fine shape for the monot onous hum-drum of daily practice. Our athletic field is acknowledged to be unexcelled by any in the itate, but a good field does not neccs sarily make good players, Last season’s scores show about an equal number of victories and defeats. As in foot ball, the first part of the season was by far the best, although good ball was played up to the end. The Obcrlin game was hot and close and not lost until the eighth inning. Throughout, it was a splendid exhibition of ball-playing. Den ison, whose base ball team is of an altogether different quality from its foot ball team, was outplayed and defeated at Gambier. Just before the third game of the season Kenyon received a blow, which, except for the presence of a lanky Freshman, would have proved nearly fatal to her prospects for the season. Cromley, our well-known pitcher, was protested by O. S. U. before the game at Gambier. When Japp was placed in the pitcher’s box every heart sank, for he was a green, untried Freshman; but spirits rose as the game progressed, and when, with a score of 2-2, the game was called in the twelfth inning on account of darkness, full confidence was established in the new pitcher and in the whole team. A brilliant finish was expected, but an unhappy lack of unity prevailed in the team, and though more than one victory came our way, still the season closed with nothing more than a good record. H. M.

It furnishes a clean and exciting sport to fill up the gap between foot ball and spring athletics and serves to main tain the athletic spirit which otherwise might flag, This season has been at once the most promising and the most disappointing in the his tory of the game at Kenyon. We started the season with the best team that has ever represented the College. Two of last years players with ten new men made up the squad. Several of the newcomers had a state reputation. Spirit ran high and a championship season was ex pected. Sad to say, however, through sickness, through poor class standing, and through withdrawal from college, the candidates were grad ually reduced in numbers until by the end of the season there were bare ly enough men left to play the game. Three separate teams had been developed in the course of events and yet, in spite of this fact, our show ing was not to our discredit. J All of this year’s stars will be back and, we hope, in good form next year, so that with the material which will enter college in the fall, Kenyon should have a championship team and wipe out the memory of past misfortunes by the record for the season of 1905. page one hundred ihree SEASON OF 1904 C.

With the formation of the Ohio Athletic Conference, however, this branch of college activity took its proper place and instead of being of secondary importance, is now in the same class as base ball and foot ball. The interest of the Ohio college world last spring was centered upon the Big Six Meet held at Cleveland in May. This meet was a success from every standpoint and established a prece dent for what will become one of the principal events of the season. Kenyon sent a team to Cleveland and won four points, thus giving her fifth place in the Conference. These figures do not give the team the credit it deserves. Every race in which Kenyon men took part was hotly contested and each time the wearer of the mauve was close to the leaders. CJ The men had every difficulty to overcome during the season. They were the only ones in the Conference who did not have the ad vantage of a trainer and an indoor track, and a very late spring had left them only a few weeks in which to train for the event. •] The dual meet with Wooster was a great success. Here the men were seen to good advantage and fairly demonstrated what would be possible with conscientious training and proper instruction. Out of one-hundred points Kenyon men captured seventy-seven. The season of 1904 has shown a wonderful advance over 1903. Wooster was again defeated and, at the Big Six Meet in May, Kenyon rose and took her place as third in the list of contestants. With such marked improvement in one year, we feel sure that interest in track athletics cannot flag and that hence forth the team will receive the support due it. P«c one kindred icvea K. S.

The courts are within a stone’s throw of Old Kenyon and offer many opportunities for using up spare moments of leisure time. Then too, there are many men in the college for whom the mild but exciting game of the racket holds far greater attractions than the more strenuous sports of the grid-iron or the diamond. Hence, from the time good weather begins in earnest up to the close of college in June the courts are seldom empty. Q It is an unfortunate fact that the revenues of the Tennis Association arc derived solely from the admission fees of new members and are hardly sufficient to keep the courts in good order through the season. The remedy for this, however, is very simple. At times, too, the weeds in the neighbor hood of the courts grow unpleasantly high, but then it is merely a case of Pa Fagan to the rescue and lo! the evil is removed, That Ken yon Tennis has reached a high standard of excellence is shown by the results of our two tournaments with O. S. U. last spring. The represen tatives from the Hill defeated their opponents in three straight matches at Columbus and later repeated the operation at Gambier. The college championship in doubles was not decided as rain prevented the playing off of the finals. Another victory fell to Kenyon in the tournament with O. S. U. at Columbus on May 27, 1904, when the defenders of the Mauve again carried off three straight matches, and conclusively proved their superiority over the Scarlet and Gray. p«ge one hundred eleven A.

This desire for a purely amateur basis has led to the formation of several large assocu tions and countless smaller ones whose members are agreed to follow certain fixed rules in their contests with one another, The general spirit showed itself in Ohio when Case School of Applied Sciences, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio State University, Ohio Wes leyan University, and Western Reserve University leagued together and at Cleveland on October 10, 1902, formally organized themselves into the Ohio Athletic Conference, better known as the Big Six. The Conference, as it now exists, is made up of faculty representatives from each of the institutions enlisted. Two meetings have already been held; the one at Cleveland in April 1903, and the other at Cambier in Octo ber 1903. It is intended to continue these meetings semi-annually. To show how closely the Ohio Conference is connected with the gen eral movement in the country we need only mention the fact that the rules, interpretations, and modes of procedure of the Western Confer ence have been adopted in Ohio and Prof. Walda, the influential and authoritative Purdue representative at the Western Conference, chosen arbitrator of the Big Six. €J As a result of the decided stand which the leading educational institutions of Ohio have taken, the athletics of the state have risen to a far higher level than formerly and the onlooker can feel assured, at least when viewing a Big Six contest, that the men he sees before him are exactly what they are represented to be. namely bona fide students at the institution they are supporting. etc louri« BIG SIX MEET Cleveland Ohio, May 25, 1904 Event Record Holder 100 Yard Dash 10 H.

Among the earliest records of the institution we find an account of a meeting convened on May 10, 1827 in a recitation room at Worthington, Ohio. The object of tliis meeting was the formation of a literary association, and the result the Philomathesian Society. It began its existence with seventeen members and a log cabin recitation room for The I lall. In 1828 the institution was removed to Gambier and the first meeting of the society was held in that place on July II. On March 25, 1830, an exhibition, by which is meant a specially arranged public programme, was given. This exhibition is the first of its kind on record and was the beginning of what soon became a prominent feature of Kenyon life. The practice, though long fallen into disuse, shows its influence still in our way of celebrating W ashington’s Birthday. In foe mcr years it was customary also to have society exhibitions accompany the regular Commencement Exercises. Thus, at the Commencement of 1831, the Phi Phi Alpha’s, a society of which we have little trace, and the Philo s joined forces and presented a programme. Dunng the year 1832 sectional differences sprang up and increased to such an extent as to become extremely unpleasant. The number of students from north cm and southern states was about equal and a continual struggle for pre dominance was maintained. No one, we arc told, was admitted to membership who would not unequivocally define his position.1 Th - extreme sectional feeling led to the formation of Nu Pi Kappa toward the end of the college year 1832, by thirteen southern member oi Philo. We liave a record of the three societies presenting a joint pm p r gramme at the Commencement of that year. After this we do not find further mention of Phi Phi Alpha, but have plenty of material to show that in spite of the strong sectional feeling, Philo and Nu Pi Kappa pre sented joint programmes on various occasions down to the end of the year 1834. J From this time on till the fall of the year 1839, the life of the society was particularly uneventful. In the year 1839, however, came the first attack of the periodical mania. After agitating the sub ject for some months, it was decided to publish a monthly bearing the title 'The Collegian and Kenyon Literary Magazine. Editors were elected, prospectuses issued, subscribers solicited, and printers engaged. The first number is yet to appear. It is important also to note the publication in 1834 and 1840 of catalogues of the society’s books. At the second publication Philo had a library of seventeen hundred volumes. In the years 1848 and 1830 the first celebrations of Washington’s Birthday were held. These later became very elaborate and important functions in college life though now they have almost patted away. Philo and Nu Pi Kappa played the chief | arts. From 1861 until 1869 the cele brations were dropped on account of the war, but after 1869 we find the day regularly observed by both societies until the year 1877. After that they were only fitful and conducted generally by Philo alone. Ex hibitions also scan now to have disappeared. There remain faint traces of them in the open debates of Philo in 1896 and the joint debate with Nu Pi Kappa in 1901. The growth of the society since the year 1833 has been healthy and vigorous. In 1859, on the completion of Ascension Hall, the Society, through tire generosity of the college and the Alumni, came into possession of its present quarters. The library of Philo, which for a long time was larger and better equipped than the College library and was kept in the Middle Division of Old Kenyon, was donated to the college and removed to Hubbard Hall upon its com pletion in 1886. Let us close with a quotation from one of the old mottoes that headed a literary programme esse quam videre and add to it our wish quod felix faustumque sit as expressing most adequately the spirit of Philo.

L Oldham page one NU PI KAPPA THE Nu Pi Kappa Literary Society of Kenyon College was formed in 1832 by the division into two parts of the one literary so ciety then existing on the Hill. Regarded as originally component parts of the same organization, the year 1828 may be considered the birth-year of both the societies. This early separation was due to poli deal and sccdona! feeling, which, during the stirring bmes of General Jackson’s campaigns, sometimes ran so high that the members of the one party were not on speaking terms with those of the other. Nu Pi Kappa was made up of men who opposed Mr. John Quincy Adams and were drawn chiefly from the Southern States; Philomathesian, on the other hand, supported the New' Englander and enrolled its men from the Northern States. With the approach of the momentous year of 1861, society feeling grew still more intense. The debates were bitter and hot ly contested and it took but little to draw the two parties into fisticuffs. Alumni of that day have been heard to say that they went to the meet ings with loaded revolvers and were prepared to put them to instant use. After the outbreak of the war the life of the society was imperiled by the departure of many of its members and for some years it led a very precarious existence. There were long periods of quiescence unbroken by any literary activity on its part For weeks and months at a time no meetings were called. This state of affairs continued for thirty yean. At times the student body was less than forty in number and conse page om twenty.men quently material lor the support ol two literary societies was not forthcom ing. In the nineties, however, the student body was on the increase and the literary societies took a new lease on life. During the college year 1893-94, just ten years ago, the unusually well-kept records show an average attendance ol thirty members at the meetings ol the Nu Pi Kappa Society. Since that time the society has never become extinct and the only menace to its existence was in the unusual circumstances attendant upon its organization in the year 1900-01. In that year all the officers were members of the graduating class and a failure to elect officers for the ensuing year left the society in an unorganized condition, though with a membership of twenty-two during the collegiate year of 1901-02. This fell to fifteen in 1902-03. During the current year, however, with an increased student body several new members have been elected. The membership, limited by a temporary by-law to twenty-five, already amounts to twenty-three. Meetings are being regularly held and the work done at them is of a nature which far surpasses anything done by the society in recent years. €[ Formerly the twenty-second day comped tion took the form of an oratorical contest, but with the new century it has been transformed into a debate. This gives added zest to the inter est which the members of Nu Pi Kappa take in her work and will cer tainly play its part in assuring her continued and successful existence at Kenyon College. J.

Devol page om % The Senior Play of 1903 SOME one suggested that the class of 03 give a play. To that k was added that the play should be presented at Commencement. Fast upon this came the more serious proposition that a play, re quiring labor and time, could hardly be undertaken unless all and sundry lectures and recitations, attendance upon which was expected of Seniors (under penalty of suspension), were discontinued after June I. The proposition as thus stated was too important to be lightly dismissed: if lec tures and recitations were discontinued for Seniors after that date, it meant of course severe renunciation of keen intellectual self-gratification. Yet the class rose nobly to the occasion; Entsagung ! they cried ; the Fac ulty nodded ; the play was a go. What Play A tragedy, any one from Gorboduc and wholesale slaughter to Nathan Hale and the Gallows? Or comedy, any one from Roister Doistcr or Gammer Gur ton and the rare Needle to the Temperance Town, or something else with local color? But at Commencement time the Tragic Muse goes to Kilbuck or the summer hotels ; Comedy alone remains on the Hill. A cheerful show was needed. The spirit of the times suggested a belated Ralph, strenuous and quixotic; so the Knight of the Burning Pestle was chosen. It had catches and merry glees. Well! there were Collins and Wyant and Carlisle to sing them. There was a jolly devil of a fellow with a red nose—Kitto took that part a non lucendo. The two tender passion roles, male and female, with ghost and coffin business, naturally fell to Collins and Wyant. The part of the good boy Koons assayed with unusual insight; he also babbled a ballad. Elizabethan fool appren bees we had in Balcom—rare yokel—and Wright. Cartmell was a P C« Hty-fcTe heavy; his speeches started from the waistband. It was a foregone coo elusion that Goddard would be the Roaring Barber, and slash Walker or some other Bexley man; but Morrison was safely seated down among the swells. Mine Host Hunter served the Pilgrims, and told his tale. Williams lisped the languishing Humphrey, and Hammond flung his ancles to old music. Jackson began to prepare for the part of Tapster as soon as warm weather began. Cromley said he couldn’t act so he was put into a pretty lace collar and black gown, and given a grave speech at the beginning. Cuff mothered the good boy and the broken home. CJ Ralph and his patrons were a large part of the show. Who but McNish for the wild and chivalrous Ralph ? Who but Liddell for the diplomatic yet indulgent ward of such a lad ? And who but Billy Eisenmann for a geschwatzige, cindringende aber all zu gross und grob herzige Mutter? Ach! Q It was hard work and good fun. We had a real coffin, and real hay, and real lanthoms, and real Cavaliers smoking on the stage, pretending to drink real Canary out of real mugs. We also made real money for noble uses; and some said that wc achieved a success. Q The Class of ’04 will continue the custom established by ’03. Begin early and work late; it is well worth the pains.

It was revised in 1635, and again at the Restoration. Don Qvixote, pvblishcd in 1605, and trans lated into English in 1612, is clearly echoed in the character of Ralph. Not withovt interest to stvdents of Shakespeare are the lines spoken by the ghost; and other allvsions to contemporary plays are apparent. The simplicity of the stage demands a play of fancy in following the crvde svggestion of shifting scene. C| “The players are abovt to present a romantic comedy called The London Merchant, giving the story of the trials and trivmphs of an apprentice in love with his master’s davghter. Bvt a grocer in the avdi ence suspects from the title that the play is to satirize the London citi zens, and insists that it shall be altered to the ‘honor and glory of all grocers.’ His wife joins him, and proposes that their apprentice Ralph shall take the part of the grocer-hero. Ralph is therefore interposed as an actor, and the name of the play is changed to The Knight of the Bvrning Pestle. The original plot is carried on as far as practicable, bvt an interwoven plot is extemporized by the players, in which Ralph appears as a kind of Don Qvixote or benevolent Knight-errant, his for tvnes crossing with those of the persons in the romance of I'he London Merchant.

They’ll build him a monument by the Lake, A monument fit and fair they’ll make; They’ll ground it on gTanite to symbol his might, A symbol for all the world to see; They’ll make it of marble, carven, white, A dwelling-place for Memory. They’ll build him a monument by the Lake,— (Hopes are high in Hanna Hall, Weaving fame-wreaths therewithal!) They’ll build him a monument by the Lake, And on its front they’ll undertake To carve some large design and set His name in letters mensurate. That men may look and not forget The place his name filled in the State. They’ll build him a monument by the Lake,— (O the noon on Hanna Hall, And the sunshine on its wall!) They’ll build him a monument by the Lake, But men will their own meaning make; For they will gaze with various heart By which its purpose will be lost; And some will marvel at its art. And some will calculate its cost. PH oac mry-Sve They’ll build him a monument by the Lake,— (Feet are swift in Hanna Hall, They’ll travel far ere evening fall!) They’ll build him a monument by the Lake, And round its base the earth will shake; And o’er its top the fume will drift; And past its place the crowds will go, As labor-smoke shall lean or lift. And tides of trade shall ebb or flow. They’ll build him a monument by the Lake,— (Evening darkens Hanna Hall, But sets alight its windows all!) They’ll build him a monument by the Lake, And make it splendid for his sake.

WATSON HANNA HALL OWING lo the fact that no complete and connected account of Hanna Hall has yet appeared, we think it not out of place in this volume nor lacking in interest for the Alumni and other supporters of Kenyon to treat the subject here as fully as space will allow, beginning with the birth of Hanna Hall in Uncle Mark’s mind —so far as it can be determined—and ending with its occupation and present condition. Of course much of the material is rehashed, for free levy has been made on all sources of information, but much of what appears in the following pages is the result of personal inquiry and first-hand knowledge. J Hanna Hall was bom in a burst of enthusiasm. Such an accusation is not to be made lightly against a man of Mark Hanna’s stamp. He who has held dowm the chair of many a national Rc| ublican conven tion with quiet dignity; he who has addressed enthusiastic crow ds with calmness; he who has disposed the so-called god of the Americans with deliberation; he who has even passed unmoved through the streets of Mt. Vernon in a carriage escorted by a hundred noisy Kenyon men, —such a man surely cannot flippantly be charged with losing his head even under the influence of the Gambicr spirit, concentrated to the essence, as it is, at a Kenyon Alumni Luncheon. Yet such is the case. •J On June 26, 1901, at one o’clock, a rare gathering of Kenyon enthu siaits assembled in old Philo Hall for the annual Alumni Banquet. After the primary object of the meeting was accomplished, coffee and cigars went the rounds and the usual mixture of lightness and gravity, jests and business began. Among those who responded to toa s was the Rt. Rev. Boyd Vincent, of Southern Ohio. His story was a very effective account of the joys and son-ows of a young politician. The mere word politician gave the toastmaster his cue and the name of the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna called the company to their feet with a cheer. Uncle Mark spoke half-seriously, half-jestingly; so that it was to listeners wholly unprepared for his words that he said: I’ll under write fifty thousand dollars for a new dormitory—and —turning play p«ge one uxty-u-vm fully toward Bishop Vincent—1 we’ll call it 'Politician's Barracks,' For a moment an uncomprehending silence prevailed. Then the truth broke and the Junior Senator from Ohio looked on a table in uproar. He saw Bishop Leonard, President Peirce, James H. Dempsey, Bishop Peterkin, William P. Elliott, Hon. T. P. Linn, Bishop White, Judge U. L. Marvin, Dean Jones, and scores of other such men, forget their age, honors, and dignity under the influence of the moment and tumult uously voice their joy over Kenyon’s good fortune. The infectious spirit overcame even Governor Nash, though a stranger to the Hill1 and its associations. Thus was the birth of Hanna Hall. J Several months were occupied in the choice of an architect, and Still more in letting the contract, so that it was not until the opening of the spring of 1902 that Mr. Schweinfurth of Cleveland turned his plans over to the contractor, Mr. Wise, for execution. Work progressed stead ily, but very slowly. It was difficult to induce a large and efficient corps of workmen to leave paying positions in the cities for no more profitable ones in the town of Gambier. The village’s chief attraction for visitors was to them its chief fault. The academic serenity and quietness was unpleasant to ears attuned to the confused click of Stone chisels, the creak of derricks, the blows of hammers, and the incessant noises of a city. Q On the morning of November 8, 1902, the corner-$tone was laid and Hanna Hall formally presented to Kenyon College. This was a gala day. Matriculation, a source of great excitement in itself, instead of being held on Founders’ Day as usual, was postponed a week so that it might add its share to the general celebration. At eleven o’clock Sena tor Flanna’s special train with its load of distinguished guests arrived from Cleveland. After the matriculation service, the visitors were driven slowly to Hanna Hall while the faculty and student body moved in or dcrly procession down the Middle Path. The ceremony was brief. Never had the Thrill of Spirit with which it was opened, been more deeply felt or more heartily expressed. Bishop Vincent pronounced the invocation. Senator Hanna, rising from an inconspicuous seat among the spectators, presented, with characteristic simplicity and plainness—almost with bluntness—Hanna Hall to Kenyon College. President Peirce for mally accepted the gift The air throbbed with the enthusiasm of Ken yon voices in song. Though the sun that day looked down on ragged walls, yet in Mark Hanna’s heart it saw the perfected spirit of unselfish generosity. The corner stone was laid by Bishop Leonard, after which a substantial return for expended energy was made the guests in the form of an elaborate luncheon in Philo Hall. IJ With nothing but Gambier sunshine and fresh air for materials, old Father Time finds some difficulty in staining Kenyon’s walls; and yet, the mellowed softness and quiet coloring of old Kenyon, Rosse and Ascension Halls is made strikingly prominent by the prim gray newness of Hanna Hall. This building is a two Story stone Structure, about fifty feet deep by one hundred and forty feet long, and built to accommodate some fifty students. It stands one hundred feet north of Old Kenyon and faces directly east. Thus arc formed two sides of what we hope in the future will become a perfect quadrangle. Q Hanna Hall is a type of the Tudor collegiate style of architecture and, though it shows more improved finish and bears a certain modern atmosphere about it, yet it is in good harmony with the other buildings of Kenyon. It resembles Old Kenyon in its solidity and strength. This effect is rendered still more pronounced by the heavy slanting buttresses at the ends, which gain a cumulative force by the necessary increase in their size occasioned by the downward slope of the hill at the edge of which the hall stands. In general architectural structure, the resem blance of Hanna Hall to Ascension Hall is probably closer and more direct. Hanna Hall reproduces, at least partially, the many gables and embrasured walls, together with the suggestion of churchliness in the Gothic arches at the doors of Ascension. But wherein Hanna Hall dif fers most from Ascension, therein it most resembles Rosse Hall. The plainness and simplicity, the utter disregard for pretliness and display en dow it with the Grecian severity of our tem pic-like gymnasium. The Gothic arches, span ning the outside doors and still further empha sized within, give a quasi-ecclcsiaftical air that brings it into relation with the Church of the Holy Spirit. The chaste lines of these cn trances are of refined dignity and against the rich wood work of the doors the w hite stone arches stand out with striking distinction. JThe main entrance is reached through a small vestibule of carved stone above which in old English letters are the words HANNA HALL. To the left, in mural relief, is the seal of Kenyon college, while at the right on a tablet is the following dedication: This building is erected in honor of his wife C. Augusta Hanna by the Honorable Marcus A. Hanna of Ohio. A. D. 1902. The two entrances at the ends of the building are of the same style as the main entrance though less elaborate. At each of the three a gas lamp, fashioned after the me dieval cresset, is kept burning by night. Small window-panes in their heavy white casings add a touch of quaintness to the building. On entering the hall one feels transported out of Cambier, with all its discomforts and inconveniences, into some new locality, stridlly modern and up-to-date. This is, in a certain sense, at first unpleasant, but the unpleasantness wears off by association and by the discovery of the many happy harmonies and adaptations to the tone and spirit of Kenyon. The firit impression of the interior is that of somber dignity and rich severity. The wood work, with the exception of the floors and stair-rail is all of Flemish oak. Substantial oak paneling, five feet high; gTcat oaken posts; ponderous oak doors, with solid brass knobs and brass studded, wrought-iron hinges extending their whole width; oak steps, and oak banisters finished with heavy mahogany rails; together with the rough grayness of the unfinished plaster and the massy dull brass chandeliers, enriched with touches of oxidation, lend an air of rigorous luxuriousness and quiet richness that can scarcely be surpassed and but with difficulty equaled. The floors arc of specially selected hard pine, the soft yellow of which agreeably relieves what otherwise might become an oppressively heavy tone. •J At present gas is the sole means of lighting. The building is, how ever, wired for electricity; and when the proposed traction line from Mt. Vemon passes through Cambier, Hanna Hall will become an electrically lighted place of abode. In those days we may well take up old Cicero’s cry: Ubinam gentium sumus? The interior is divided into three separate sections without means of communication except, as in Old Kenyon, by way of the basement. The plans for the two end divisions are identical, so that every feature of page Ke enly-orve the one finds its counterpart in the other. On the first floor of each are two single rooms, one double room, and a suite of two rooms; the second floor is a repetition of the first; while on the third floor, one Urge double room faces the path and a second smaller one looks out high above the tree-tops over the valley of the Kokosing. On the top floor is the still further convenience of a wash-room where can be enjoyed the unspeakable luxury—oh shades of Bishop Chase and the founders of these institutions!—of drawing hot water from a faucet. In the middle division, four large rectangular rooms occupy each of the first two floors, and two diminutive studies the habitable portion of the tliird floor. These upper rooms of the three divisions are separated from each other by large spaces of unfinished attic, which, it is rumored, are to be fitted up for service as a hospital. No action, however, has yet been taken toward the accomplishment of this really necessary step. The living rooms are models of dormitory apartments, being at ooce cosy, light, and airy. They too arc finished in Flemish oak. with picture moulding, and a six-inch chair-rail three feet above the floor. The most noticeable feature in each, because, probably, the most unusual, is the stationary washstand. This is of solid marble and set in a recess of the wall The recess itself, by its repetition of the Gothic arch at the outside entrances, is signifi cant of the slight tinge of churchliness in the architecture. In every room hangs a heavy brass chandelier with four burners and a tube for a drop-light. The closets are unusually large and commodious; the ceilings, high; the floors, of hard pine and easily kept clean: the windows, of goodly dimensions for affording abundance of light; and the radiators, d cient;—on the whole, warm, cheery, light, airy, neat, comfortable quarters. One loveable and romantic feature of Old Kenyon is wanting the window-seats. Those delightful possibilities of the thick walls of the old-time structure, which are, as Bacon says, of good use—for they be pretty retiring places for conference, are out of the question in modem Hanna Hall. There are two, it is true, in the hall on the second floor of the middle division, and imitations of them can be found w ooe temtj-t in several of the students’ rooms; but these attempts are only makeshifts, aggravating rather than satisfying the want. The basement is white—white in every detail except for the dark invasion of the stairs and an occasional snarl of black pipes. The brick walls and partitions, as well as the wood-work, are painted white, and the floors throughout arc of cement. Two bath rooms, each con taining a shower and two tub baths and finished—floors, walls, parti tions and all—in solid marble, form a lavatory equipment, the like of which three years ago Kenyon little thought of possessing. Besides the furnace rooms, six fresh clean store rooms find place in this part of the building. J According to the terms of the contract, Hanna Hall was to be ready for occupation by the first of January, 1903, but when the time arrived scarcely the walls of the building were completed. Work was pushed with all possible vigor during the spring months. In the summer it was announced that quarters would be ready for the entrance of the students at the opening of college in September. So confident of this were the college authorities that the rooms in Old Kenyon of those ex- pecting to live in Hanna Hall were assigned to new men. But again there was disap pointment and not a little inconvenience result ed. The members of the Psi Upsilon frater nity returned only to find their belongings removed to Rossc Hall, where, for two months, in soldier-fashion, they lived and tried to study. An extra force of workmen was put on the north end to relieve as soon as possible the discomforts of the Rosse Hall denizens, but even with this added effort it was not until the evening of Wednesday, November 18, 1903, that the lights of occupation gleamed from the windows of Hanna Hall. Shortly after Christmas the members of Beta Theta Pi moved into the south end and about a month later the non-fratemity men took up their residence in the middle division. Though life in Hanna Hall is wholly characteristic of Kenyon, yet there is a new element in it that must be recognized. The manifest worth and elegance of its equipment exercises a constant restraint upon ptp ooc levesty-threc wilful or careless defacement; while the Strongly modem air gives a de cidedly elevating tone. True, there are none of the charming traditions and historic connections of dear old Kenyon, but then years will bestow the badge of age; and certainly no one doubts but that in the future Ken yon will quicken the embryo of greatness in her new possession as well as in her old. But Hanna Hall already has the marks of greatness—of unique greatness upon it—for it is the evidence of our great Ohio Senator’s personal favor toward Kenyon. He has seen and known and loved our little college and by his interest and personal association has drawn to him every man on the Hill, whether student or professor. No one can look on the edifice without realizing that in all the country there can be found no truer monument to the greatness of him who has passed away, no memorial which evokes more sincere or appreciative remembrance of his merits, than Stands expressed in the lasting granite and noble lines of Hanna Hall.

(Some Impressions of Kenyon) LAS'I summer, on my vacation wandering up in the Green Mow tains of Vermont, 1 ran across two friendly men clad in the tell-tale garb of the Episcopal clergyman. One was a hearty, handsome rector from Brooklyn, fond of a good cigar, and of a good story, fonder still; the other, a little wrinkled gray man with a bright eye, a ready smile, and a delightful Irish tang in his speech. The three of us sat to talk on the elm-shaded veranda of the village hotel, looking out across the green valley to the dark mountains shouldering up against the summer sky. Presently it appeared that 1 was a college man from Ohio. In stantly the little gray man was alert and eager. Ah, then, he exclaimed, leaning forward with his boyish air, ’then you know Kenyon!1 V es, I knew Kenyon. 1 had been there once and the glamor of it was yet upon me. But how strange and alien that name under the shadow of these cloud-hung hills, almost within hail of old Williams and older Dartmouth! The word was the Open Sesame to a vanished youth; and never after that did we talk together that the gray-haired man did not carry me back with him to the far-off days, the decade of the sixties, when his boyhood knew the love of Kenyon, his mother; when he climbed the Hill, and sang the songs o’ nights, and helped with that im memorial prank of stealing the clapper from the college bell. Ah, he would say, with his delicious Irish brogue, that’s a beautiful place—Kenyon!r And once, gazing out toward the sun-smitten mountain. Sometimes I think I should like to go back and end my days there.1 And though his friend, chaffing him gently, laughed, Yes, and you would probably end them very soon if you went there, he did not smile, but sat lost in a dream of his youth. Once, and once only, have I seen Kenyon; and perhaps I should not pretend to any real knowledge of her. It is not given to every man to pluck out the heart of a mystery at the first thrilling contact. Yet my page oac Kwoty.ii visit was something more than the ordinary casual sightseeing of tite stranger on a campus not his own. It was my good fortune to see the men on the athletic held, and in their dormitories and fraternity houses as well; to dance with them on the glassy floor of Rosse Hall; to sit with them through a Sunday chapel service; above all, to march with them along the Path at midnight, singing as college fellows rarely sing. And the sum of my impressions, hardly to be defined, is altogether delightful. ] There is no possibility of comparison between schools so utterly unlike as Kenyon College and a modem State University, for example, for they are diametrically opposed in origin, method, and purpose. Kenyon has architectural beauty, great age, manifold tradition, a real college spirit, the indescribable something one calls a college atmosphere, an atmosphere in which the smoke from forges, the whir of dynamos, and the shriek of es caping steam are no elements. To be sure she lacks many desirable things which the modem newly-rich University possesses; but there is no gainsaving the absolute fitness of Kenyon for the Kenyon type of man. The spirit of it all gets into your blood as soon as you mount the Hill and come to beautiful, ramshackle Old Kenyon, the dormitory where all the men. excepting the theologues up at Bexley, lived before the advent of tire shamelessly new stone hall dose by. That spirit breathes horn the ivy grown walls of the lovely Elizabethan church from whose tower an ancient chime drops down melodious soundings of the quarter hours. It is in everything; the athletics, the fraternities, the attitude of students toward instructors, in the look and walk and speech and costume of the men. in the woods and the river and the sweet green landscape that hems in the Hill. •J Kenyon, however, would not be Kenyon without 'The Path, the long leaf-shaded aisle that leads from the old dormitory at one end clear to Bexley at the other, past the brown walls of Ascension Hall and the round pillars of Rosse. past Harcourt with its cloistered maids, through the quaint little village itself. Here runs, artery-like, the outdoor life of the college, from the time when the late sleeper sprints to morning chapel until the stars grew pale in the next song-greeted dawn. And until you have heard on a starlit night the chanting voices of marching men. nay, until locked arms with them you yourself have marched and sung and watched the sparkle of lights in the Harcourt darkness, and have then slept to 'rise up at the voice of a bird,'—the thrush music-mad outside your window—until then you have something left to sigh for. 1 know a young man whose name is Dick. He dresses with incoo ceivable rapidity. Once when 1 commented on his swiftness, he said, My boy, I did not go to chapel at Kenyon four years for nothing.1 Perhaps a daily exercise of piety does have its drawbacks, but my recol lections of a Sunday at Gambier arc not the least charming of all the memories of my visit: the cool quiet of the spring morning unviolated by clamor of wheels over cobblestones or rasp of electric car; the sight ol the funny little youngsters from the Academy, bobbing along in spike tailed dignity; the unusual scene of a church full of young men; the twelve goodlooking chaps asleep at the switch,—1 mean in the choir! •i It was hard to come away; but it was fine to think about it all. One sees even from so short a stay that whatever the students at Kenyon are doing, they are certainly being college men in a most interesting sense. One sees, too, how necessary and natural a thing is loyalty t° the college of the Kenyon type; and I understand perfectly the feeling of my old clergyman back there in the East. 1 love and revere my own University, but by no flight of imagination can I think of it as a place where one might wish to come to spend his last days. It is too big. too noisy, too much in a hurry. But it is fine for all that One can never be sure how any admirable thing will appeal to him on repeated and intimate acquaintance; but I think I should be safe to say that were 1 not something, else, I should very much like to be a Kenyon man.

LONG HYLAS As down we drew again the seas to dare— Faring were we from fond-remembered Greece, On high emprise to seek the Golden Fleece There rose a sudden cry for Hylas, fair Young Hylas, Hylas, who his pitcher bare For water up the ravine’s dusky crease, Where some sad fountain ever frayed the peace Of brooding silences with sobs of prayer. What saw our Hylas in the forest gloom? ,Tn , What faun peeped out? What nymph ran by?

Ah, such chill mirth as froze upon the heart. Like icy dews that drip from marble tombs In early autumn dawns, when through the weeds Trail shivering ghosts to unimagined dooms, And to the air strange awfulness impart,— For there lay Hylas’ pitcher in the reeds.

My dear Ansel:— tO.’. ’ At last we are in Paris thoroughly enjoying a winter visit in thi great metropolis. It seems almost incredible to-day that the great Pan ian thoroughfares now teeming with pusillanimous pulchritude were bu a few years ago the willing witnesses of scenes so revolting and sangm ary in character that the historian passes over them as material rather fo the realistic raconteur than for his own dignified pen.

My Dear Timon:— There is a gTain of veri-similitude at least in the essay of Mallory on Walter Pater when Ire says you are apt not to write a letter if you keep putting it off indefinitely. 1 have intended writing you for a long time but between Harcourt and the Ancient Order of Pedro Players, 1 scarcely cct time for any pleasure. In the first place I wish to make a confession. I did not shoot those ducks which I brought home Thanksgiving; but I bought them at Young’s meat shop here. 1 would have snot some myself though, if 1 hadn't been so busy up until Thanksgiving. 1 thought my new assistant would be able to help me out considerably but he has developed into a good bit of a fizzle, so that 1 still do most of the work myself. If you become a member of the faculty next year, as 1 plan, we will have some good days in the woods together. I tell you I like a man with red blood in his veins. You may remember what I told you last summer about the course in the English Novel that I intended putting in this year. Well, it has been a great success. I have laid particular stress on the works of Hall Caine; in fact I have required cacn member of the class to purchase a complete set of his works. 1 only wish we had more authors like Caine:—don’t you Tim ?

How slowly time passes in this monotonous little hamlet; it is shockingly stupid to an Eastern man like myself accustomed to associate with gentlemen of culture and refine ment. The society here—if the miserable pretence can be termed such— is excessively provincial and crude: all the niceties and little things which make social life so attractive in the East are entirely lacking here. The coarse, rugged spirit of the West predominates. I fear that in an environment so vulgar even I may lose some of the polish which charac tcrizes all gentlemen. How I wish I were back again in one of those dear rooms at old Columbia. I need to breathe an atmosphere of culture and refinement. The one redeeming feature of this hole of a place is the great num ber of charming sirens. I am making quite a hit, as the boys would say. One of the teachers at Harcourt already calls me 1 Bennie1 —that is getting along monstrously, is it not ? 1 may bring a bride back to Orange with me if everything goes lovely.

Dear Radiamus:— I was in Columbus yesterday attending the meeting of our so ciety. The members present did Kenyon the honor of placing her representative in the chair where he acquitted himself in the usual good manner which faithful attendance at similar gatherings has made second nature. There was an individual there whose force was largely vitiated by his misuse of that subtle term 1 direction.1 His discourse indicated that non-Euclidian ideas were not burdening his mathematical psychology; in fact, his ignorance of the whole subject of up-to-date Texas mathematics was extremely acute. I honestly believe that there is little hope of his conversion to the noble army of logical mathematicians. No more of that brand if you please. 1 might add tliat he who places Wentworth above me is worthy to be cast into infinity. All great men have been conceited, so do not blame the Napoleon of Mathematics for tooting his own hom now and then. Wiley is getting out a new book for me which I am expecting at any time.

My Dear Father:— I feel in rather a reflective, reminiscent mood to-night as 1 sit down to write this letter home. My college course is almost over and 1 am thinking what it has done for me. I remember that you told roc when 1 started away in September four years ago, that you were sending me to college not to learn so many facts, but rather to develop—to form a point of view. To-night as I look back I realize that you were right, that college is a place to form character, a place to become a man. I have not studied as much as 1 should, I have not done as much as 1 could, but still, for all that, I feel that Kenyon has done much for roe. It is here that you know men; know them through and through. When you think of all this, all these friends whom you must leave, it makes it hard to go. In our lighter moments we have ridiculed and made fun of the fae ulty, but down deep in our hearts we respect and honor them. If they have been worthy of their position, it is not the knowledge they haw imparted to us which makes our association with them valuable, but it is the inspiration they have given us to do better things, to make better, stronger, truer men of ourselves. Some of them, at least, have had a lasting influence on those with whom they have come in contact; and through those to whom their influence has been a force of good, the influ ence of Kenyon will be projected into a broader and wider field. In our serious moments we try to think. Whether or not I am prepared for life I do not know, but this I do know; I have lived four good years here at Kenyon and I love her. I am just about out of money so I wish you would send me a check as soon as convenient. I am well as usual.

They wait in the silent light a-hush. To hear what I come to say; When I shall look in a glowing face Than the dawn more fair to see. And Silvia comes in her maiden grace Across the meadows to me. Silvia, Silvia, birds have been mating Since the sun-lover came wooing the spring; My heart is waiting A song to sing. Like a bird in the midst of Love’s blossoming tree. When Silvia comes o’er the meadows to me. Ill The morning mist round the lilac-bush A filmy mantle slips. That naught may sec a cause to blush When 1 shall kiss her lips; When I shall drink with rapture up The answer sweet and free. Which in her heart, as in a cup, She brings o’er the meadows to me. page ooe etghty-sevtn Silvia. Silvia, morning is breaking.

TH (ini E bride’s toilet was quite finished, all but the filmy veil, and that, she declared, no hands but her mother’s should ad Vf—'j just. So she thanked her attend ants sweetly and begged them to leave her alone for awhile until her mother should come to her. They all fluttered away, a gay crowd of sisters and cousins in festal attire, and left the bride sitting before her dressing table, gazing thoughtfully into the mirror opposite. The picture reflected in the polished glass was as fair as heart could wish—the lovely girl-face with sweet lips smiling, the eyes full of a wondrous happiness, and the slight form clad in a dress that was a marvel of rich satin and costly lace. The bride nodded approval at her image as she tucked away a lock of hair that had strayed from its place, and half unconsciously she began to say over to herself the old rhyme about the bride's dress: Something old and something new, Something borrowed and something blue.1 There was the old lace veil that her grandmother had worn, and the magnificent diamond sunburst that she had received that morning— the gift of the bride-groom as the society reporters put it. Something bor rowed ? She smiled as she thought of the white ribbons loaned by her younger sister, the child of the family. Something blue ? She glanced hastily down at her dress. No, there was no color of any kind about its pure whiteness. She looked over her dressing table for some ornament of the required hue, and her eyes fell on a little pin lying among a num ber of other trinkets in a silver tray. It was a college fraternity pin of blue enamel, surrounded by diamonds. The very thing! she exclaimed and fastened it among the bil page one eighly-eifht lowy laces; then stood looking down at it thinking of the manner of its bestowal four years ago. She had gone to Gambier every year as his guest, and in his Junior year—at his Prom.—they had become engaged and he had given her this pin always to be worn by her. In return she had given him a golden heart with a tiny pearl in the center. How dearly she had loved the good-looking athletic chap who stood so low in his class that he always said jestingly that she must supply the brains of the partner ship. Then—bitter memory! —they had quarreled over some trivial matter and parted, both hearts sore and aching. And to-day she was to be married! She covered her face with her hands—a soft and hasty knock fell on the door, which was immediately opened by a very much flushed and agitated young man in a dress suit. ■I couldn’t help it, Waverly, he said apologetically in answer to her start of surprise, honestly I couldn’t. I just had to sec you once before the—the ceremony—to get my nerve up you know; so I shook Tom and the rest and came up. They’ll be hunting the house over for me. Let me look at you, dear.1 His eyes rested lovingly for a moment on her fair face and then he caught sight of the blue pin. What! my fraternity pin? he said smiling. We never can be glad enough, can we, that we made up that old quarrel, and—see here. He touched the cape jasmine in his coat. It was fastened by a little heart-shaped pin with a tiny pearl in the center. Bubble: 1 O, he is as tedious As a tired horse, a railing wife; Worse than a smoky house: I had rather live With cheese and garlic in a windmill, far. Than feed on cates and have him talk to me In any summer-house in Guistendon.11 —Shakespeare Upson : Let him be but testimonied in his own bringingsforth, and he shall appear to the envious a scholar, a statesman, and a soldier.'—Shakespeare Confessions of a Kenyon Thief M Y purpose in this brief epiille is to warn you, my dear young fellow students, against the temptations that have reduced me to my pres ent terrible condition. Most of you remember when I was allowed to take my full fifteen hours like any honest Student; but now! behold in me the result of moral carelessness and corruption. No longer can I eat a man’s meal; sleepless nights and a tormenting conscience have made of me the physical wreck which stares down upon the busy, happy throngs of innocent young church school students who pass con tinually across the narrow range of my outlook from cell 41, third floor front, Hanna. Most of you, too, know why 1 am an outcast, but few understand the logical development of the criminal character which has placed me here,—a man without a math, class, and with a stigma on my name. The circumstances of my birth were extraordinary: I was bom of poor but honest parents. Think of it! I doubt whether any other mortal of the age has been ushered into this world of sin and sorrow under like circumstances. Many an anxious hour my parents spent in planning for my education and development. I was closely guarded from all temptation, but the inherent seeds of vice sprang and in due time bore fruit. 1 remember well the consternation in our little household when, for the fir time, I said, I won’t go to Sunday School. That mo ment marks the beginning of my unholy career. Since then I have trod the primrose path of the wicked, and the gray hairs of Harcourt teachers, the long faces of Bexley students, the saddened demeanor of Kenyon profs., as well as my own aw ful fate, all bear witness to the horrible results of my evil course, which came to a climax when I stole—but you shall hear it all. The steps of my moral deterioration after my aversion to Sunday School followed in rapid succession. I ripped my trousers; muddied the floor; took measles ; and got the toothache. Then I hooked peaches from a neighbor’s orchard and swiped cake from the pantry. My conscience never gave me the least trouble; oh no! it was my stomach usually. While I was in public school 1 stole a half hour’s time—at least the teacher said so. I had Stolen another boy’s attention by whis pering to him and the teacher told me to stay in. I didn't do it, and so got punished. (Let me warn all good little Kenyon boys not to whisper in school; and if Smiler can’t stop of his own accord he ought to tie a rag around his mouth, unless he wants to be dismissed from English). You who have followed my downward course thus far will not be surprised to learn that later I acquired the habit of smoking corn-silk; that 1 drank red and white pop; that 1 seldom got home before nine o’clock at night; in short that I engaged in all manner of faSt living and de bauchery. But I had never stolen—at least 1 had never been caught Let me warn you that you may not do as I have and steal—but 1 will tell you all. When 1 came to college I was practically a hopeless case. Dr. Smythc’s sermons had not the slightest cffcrfl upon me for he seldom raised his voice to a pitch sufficient to startle me out of my nap. 1 was bad through and through. When I came, I hated the Sophomores (this fact I concealed). The next year I tyrannized over the Freshmen with the visciousncss of a Laning (this fact 1 did not conceal). It was in my third year, however, that I paid the wages of sin. For two years had the Kenyon faculty exerted their helpful influence on me; for two years my purse had been flattened by the ten dollar general fee, which Bymie, late professor of forms and figures, had deemed expe dient for the elevation of the general moral tone of the college. My escape from detetf ion by Bymie was an assurance of safety. Little did 1 susped that his successor would prove the sharper man and end my mad career. But prepare yourselves for the thrilling climax of my tale. On Monday, January the eleventh, nineteen hundred and four— how well do I remember the day—the class in mechanical drawing, un der him who guides youthful thoughts in the right direction, was assembled in all its Strength. Alas! the drawing boards were not suffi cient to minister to the wants of all who sought to draw. My board was in my room and I departed thence to draw. As I went I filched a piece of drawing paper and—oh mark ye well and beware—I stole— p4ge one nioety.ooe yes, stole a bottle of drawing ink!!! The grand est of my crimes was enacted ; and months of care ful planning bore fruit when I, in the presence of an overcrowded class and before the very eyes of the adversary of Euclid—took the ink!! Down the stairs 1 crept, fearful of detection, anxious to crown my greatest crime with success. A hasty glance down the path—no one in sight but guile less Freshmen—a run—I gained my room in safety and sank exhausted into a chair. Oh for the endurance of a Ricketts! The intense mental Strain of the last minute and a half had left me weak as Maurys’ talcs. But I soon rallied and began to draw, exulting in my success. Why then did I start at that knock on the door ? Why did I find it as hard to collect myself as Bill Quinn docs to colletf laundry bills? Why was my voice husky as 1 faintly said Come. Why did my heart stop beating as I heard a shrill voice say: Papa wants to know if you have the ink?1 Foiled! De tected!! Apprehended!!! And likewise, ten minutes later, fired!! Ex pelled!!!! Yes, from analyt. and drawing both! My shame was published before both classes with the statement: He is a thief. He has broken the honesty, famed of Kenyon tradition. Verily, he is a Crook.1 When I heard of this I swooned and am only now recovering after a space of thirty-seven seconds. A thief! An outcast! doomed to nine hours a week instead of fifteen ! My only consolation in this time of trouble is that Jimmy Upson at least, of all the men in Kenyon, is an honest spoken man. CLC page one ninety-lwo A Junior Spring Phantasy. Ah, if I owned a thousand towns In lands across the sea; Or if I wore a thousand crowns I'd yield them all to thee. If I had wealth in untold stores And caskets filled with gems, I'd usher thee through fortune’s doors To toy with diadems. If in my hand lay boundless power To influence mankind, As I, they’d crown thee every hour With garlands love-entwined. If I could rule the moon and sun, By day each ray of light Should be thy page, but—daylight done— Should be thy maid by night.

(With Condolence for Landor) Last Friday, Vaughn, togged out plainly in black, with an unassum ing hat set primly on his head, hair well plastered, and enlivening the aii for ten yards around with the sweet scents from a bottle of essence tagged with a lavender label, started up the Path toward the Bakery. On the way he overtook Dedcrick. After arranging his red necktie he slapped the real college devil heartily on the back: “Hello Dederick, where are you going ? n Dederick nonchalantly shook off the slap, carefully adjusted the button of his rakish little cap to the center of circulation of his hair, hitched up his bicycle trousers an inch or two more above the knee, took the Condax production out of his mouth, spat leisurely and copiously, looked disdainfully at Vaughn, and answered: Aw g’wan! As they came out of the wing. Shorty Rising threw his arm affec tionatcly around old John Wolftrap s neck and gazed down into his deep liquid eyes with unutterable feeling. B cs, said Shorty, Chauncey’s the devil of a rider. A regular Mcphistophcles,n assented John, swallowing hard at the word. n rhe other day he was riding—. Pony, or what? asked Wolftrap. Oh, 'or what' I suppose, answered Shorty, getting mad. Now please don’t be angry with me. Shorty, pleaded Wolf, go on and say what you were going to. No I won’t. Yill you if 1 set ’em up to a bottle of pop? asked John. � ted. And a piece of raisin pie ? went on John eagerly. e ,i Shorty, if you’ll throw in a cheese sandwich too; then 1II go on. All right. Now go on. h just as I was saying : Chauncey’s a great rider. es, of night mares, broke in John, tenderly feeling his—elbow, 0 ■’ttT me c'ear across the room last night. hvvm attics it, declared Shorty decisively. Vhat? asked Wolf innocently. 1 m not going to tell you another word. p� je ooe niorty-loBf 'You won’t get that pop, threatened Wolftrap, —or the pie—or the cheese sandwich. It was too much for Shorty, as he afterwards said. 'Well, the other day Clark Brown asked Chauncey to ride one of his horses down to the watering trough. You see, the waterworks were out of order, so Clark’s hydrant wasn’t running and as he and Chauncey arc chummy, Chauncey was naturally his first pick for the privilege of watering the horses. The animal Chauncey drew was all hitched up for driving but a little thing like harness didn’t trouble such a horseman as Chauncey. He mounted the steed and started out at a dignified walk. It was about half-past three, you know, and most of Harcourt was out on the Path. Just as he showed up on Chase Avenue, three girls, Miss—no 1 won’t tell their names—but three girls, anyhow, came along. Oh tliere’s Mr. Judd. they all said, isn t he just a grand rider! and they stopped to admire him. just then the wind started up and blew their dresses out like regular balloons. It scared the old nag and Geminy crickey! how he did buck! But Chauncey stuck. Oh yes! he stuck tight as wax. Threw his arms around that horse’s neck and never bounced an inch. But when the horse got through he yelled to me to come and take him off. I told him to go to blazes, but he said he didn't want to go any farther than Chase Avenue if he could only get down that far. I went over to him and what do you think? I don’t know, said John in suspense, what ? Shortv paused impressively. The hook of the check-rein had made a hole in those riding-breeches of his and was caught in the leather seat so that it couldn’t get loose without taking along the whole of his—. Oh you get out, will you! cried John and playfully kicked Shorty’s shins. And so Chauncey stuck, concluded Shorty. Oh Smilcr! Crooky’s voice rang out loud and clear above the racket Bciter was making in tearing up bricks from the entryway to Hanna Hall. There was no answer so with an Oberholtzcr-on-the-mile stride he mounted the stairs. The door was ajar. He gently pushed it open and there on the bed, as he had expected, lay Smiler grinding out celestial harmonies, which for sweetness rivaled the college choir on Sundays. There was a hitch in the time now and then, but no wonder —Zack wasn’t there to keep it straight. Oh Smilcr! called Crooky again, shaking him gently. Smiler groaned, kicked, and rolled over. Smiler! yelled Crooky, shaking him violently. Smiler wriggled: Go ’way, will you. I want to tell you something, persisted Crooky. Oh let me alone; I’m sick. Go ’way. Can’t you see I’m sick? pa(e one mnrty-fnre ■But it’s something exciting—about a girl. Smilcr lay quiet, though with eyes still dosed. Crooky, encouraged, went on: 1 was out past Harcourt—1 Smiler opened first one eve and then the other— taking a walk around the triangle yesterday and whom do you suppose I saw ? Smilcr sat up: Who ? he asked with interest A good friend of yours. She was perched on top of a fence in a most undignified manner. Tisn’t so. She couldn’t be undignified if she tried. How do you know ? Well—because. All right then, said Crooky indulgently, she wasn’t undignified; but what do you you suppose she said ? Why, what any otner girl would have said, I suppose, answered Smiler suspiciously. Not on your life! As soon as she saw me she held out her arms and cried 1 Hurry, Mr. Crook, please, and come here to me.1 Smiler fidgeted and Crooky, after adjusting one of Vernon’s stogies in his face, went on: I thought maybe one of Harry N’s pigs had treed her, but 1 looked around in the grass and couldn’t find any so I concluded that must be a mistake. F inally I asked what was the matter and in silent terror she pointed downward. I looked and jumped about six feet myself; for there on the ground was a horrible serpent at least six inches long. It was a tcniblc creature as it lay stretched out to its full twelve inches. I tore a rail off the fence and took one swipe at it. If I’d ever landed on that snake no one could ever have told that once it had been a reptile two feet long. But I didn’t hit it and was just going after it again when along came Dicky Doolittle behind a spirited steed, with the left hind foot colored a gorgeous purple and several German roots, remnants of a 1 cutonic feast, Still sticking out of its mouth. He asked what was the trouble and I told him a snake four feet long was after the lady on the fence. 1 Shucks !' said Dicky,' if that snake ain’t eight feet, I’ll eat grass.1 I told him that anybody who could count as high as sixteen could see that. Then Dicky and I tackled Mr. Snake together. We weren’t afraid of him even if he was thirty-two feet long. He swatted him from one side and I cracked him from the other and we finished him up in great shape. We laid him out and along the seam of his new spring Union suit he measured just exactly sixty-four feet But what about Miss—about the girl, you know? asked Smiler innocently. Oh, said Crooky, we put her into the wagon and brought her back to—. Where? Why, to her father’s store of course: and he gave me a cake of p ge ooe soft soap as a reward. Dicky said he’d chip in a nickle too, to just show his gratitude. Smiler gave Crooky one look of outraged confidence and only too plainly showed his unutterable disgust by rolling over and going to sleep again without another word. A firm knock sounded on the door of the President’s office. Come in, said Dr. Peirce, oh, it’s you Mr. Irvine? Have a chair—or rather, take this seat at my desk; the papers and records will be much more convenient for you. No thank you. Doctor, answered Irvine, tlris chair will do very well. I won’t need the records. I’m overjoyed at this visit, I assure you, said the President effu sivcly, and heaving a deep sigh, he continued more solemnly, but I’m sorely digressed, Mr. Irvine, sorely distressed. The dignity of my office is great, it is true, but it often resolves itself, ut Latine dicatur, into a magnum pondus and the emoluments attached—I say this in all confi dence—are by no means proportionate to the laboriousncss and irksome ness of my duties. At present I am involved in a serious predicament over the finances. If you have any advice that you can offer, dispassion atcly or otherwise, rest assured it will be received with the utmost appreciation. H’m said Irvine, settling in liis chair and crossing his legs, that’s the very reason I came around this afternoon. I think you may call my advice—well, dispassionate, for I don’t hope to get anything out of it myself. There’s one thing I have in view. What, another fifty thousand? Well,—yes and no, answered Irvine, a little vexed at the Prcsi dent’s interruption, we can get it if we only go about it in the right way. The President was visibly excited. Disclose your plan. My raiment is packed for instant departure. I’ll get the money if it’s possible. Very commendable zeal, Doctor, very commendable, indeed. But not so fast. It isn’t that kind of a pr6position. I mean the better man agement of the college funds. Oh, you have reference to the more judicious administration of the revenues of the institutions. Exactly. And what improvements would you suggest? In the first place, don’t cut the grass on the campus. Why, Mr. Irvine! gasped the President in astonishment, what benefits would possibly accrue from that? Let me show you. You’re paying a man probably $2.00 a day for cutting the grass. That’s $12.00 a week—not counting Sunday—or pap- out ninety-� ocn o iust as much work as all the common too, the professors would have very consistently could about $50.00 a month or $600.00 a year. ITrere’s just so much paid out uselessly. Then, if the grass weren’t cut, it would grow up and you’d have—hay. Now hay is worth $6.00 and $10.00 a ton and if you couldn’t get $300.00 for your crop I don’t know what I am talking about. Mike Ferenbaugh will corroborate my statement and you your self will acknowledge that he’s an authority on farm. Futhermore it would be too much trouble for the students to walk through the high gTass and so the disfiguring foot paths would disappear. Thus, you see, the scheme would bring money into the treasury and tend to beautify the col lege campus to boot. Splendid ! Splendid ! cried the President enthusiastically. ■Another system, went on Irvine as soon as Dr. Peirce had quieted down, which I should like to see inaugurated is a method of fines for cuts in chapel and recitations. Instead of mere expulsion for over-cut work let each man pay—well, fifty cents or a dollar for every cut. This would enable some of the rich men in college to enjoy an amount of leisure time that is in keeping with their wealth. Under the present system, there is no way of distinguishing them; they have to go to just as many recitations and do just as much work as all the herd. That isn’t fair to them. Then less to do and consequently their salaries be lowered. Wait until I note that down, Mr. Irvine, if you please,' said the President, uncapping his fountain pen and drawing a pad before him. You have shown careful foresight, continued Irvine, in deter mining the amount of charges for damages. For instance, you couldn’t possibly have charged less than $25.00 when the Juniors took the horse up into Ascension Hall, for the damage done amounted to at least ten dollars. On the other hand it would have been indiscreet to have made the charge any higher because, even as it was, I understand there was considerable dissatisfaction. I was very much surprised at it too, for 1 thought that the Juniors had been here long enough to know that the col lege is supposed to make money off such things. Professor Balke's action that night was most commendable. You mean— began the President doubtfully. Yes. Was it your suggestion? The President looked bewildered. I really don’t grasp your meaning, Mr. Irvine. ' Why, you know he reported only three out of the fifteen men that were in it. Of course he couldn’t see any more, because that little bull s eye lantern of his only throws a good light in the direction the bearer wishes and it’s mighty lucky for the college that he had that kind of a light. It is so much easier to put the responsibility on three men than r_- __ .„r_________ity on the whole class. And the money is so much lighted with that little piece of business. on the surer. m ninety-««to Dr. Peirce looked thoughtful for a moment. Finally he said : I was very much grieved to learn that such a childish act was really the work of Juniors. I had expected more of them. Yes, answered Irvine, it is sad. Matt Maury and I have talked the matter over long and earnestly and it pricks us to the quick to see the dignity of upper classmanship so demeaned. rI admire your good sense; still it was a profitable affair after all. Yes, on the whole a paying business. And that reminds me— there’s something else I want to speak about. Your words always receive attention, said the President respectfully. Well, began Irvine each member of the faculty is now living in a separate house. That’s a useless expenditure. I’m afraid I don’t fully catch the drift of your words, said the President with a puzzled frown. It’s exceedingly simple. Rent several rooms at the hotel—. At the hotel! echoed the President. Yes. But I don’t see the advantage. Oh I don’t mean to put them all there; merely the family con nections—the wives and children of the professors, you know. Those tliat have no such incumbrances would, of course, give less trouble. Do you really advise their installment in that draughty old shack asked the President incredulously. To be sure. It would make no difference to them. Haven’t they been living in the faculty houses right along ?r True enough! I hadn’t thought of that. But proceed. Then wfe could comfortably dispose of the professors themselves in Ascension. The experiment has been tried with our new chemical genius and proved very successful. Besides, nobody knows how many cow s we’d nave in the hall if all the faculty lived there—probably enough to furnish meat for their board. Shy lock—. 1 beg your pardon, interrupted the President questioning!) . That is, I mean Dr. Manning would be snug on the third floor. Those large tables w’ould make lovely beds and if he got cold he could cover up with that relief map of Rome that’s on the wall and grow warm beneath the everlasting hills of the eternal city. I don’t doubt but that he’d find plenty of the old Roman boys sizzling in that vicinity. In the room below we’d let Briar—. your pardon, interrupted the President again. That is to say, went on Irvine slightly confused Dr. Halstcd mark off a triangular space in one comer and screen his domestic math ematics with as many parallelopipeds as he chooses to erect The opposite comer we’d give to Dodo—er Nichols— page one ninety-nice I I suppose you mean Professor Nichols, broke in the President Of course, answered Irvine a trifle vexed at the interruption did you think I had Nicholas in mind ? Well then. Professor Nichok, as you say,—he would be in the opposite comer and, I think, safe from intrusion with a few French irregulars on the outposts. Dewil—. I don’t understand, said the President. Professor Devol, of course; we’d lay him on shelf down in the safe. Now Benny— Pray, may I inuuire who Benny is? Who else but the little whipper, Dr. Harrison? He’d be happy if we would bed him on that new platform in the English room, with a bunch of Freshman themes for a mattress and a choice few of the Junior ramblings in argumentation for a pillow. That would furnish him with a brooding ground for all the bits of knowledge gleaned from his dose study of human nature as it apDears in its various forms at Harcourt.' But what would you do with me? asked Dr. Peirce with the suspicion of a twinkle in his eye. Why, said Irvine coloring guiltily I heard some of the fellows say it would be a good thing to put Fa—. What ? came from the President somewhat sharply. That is—er—the fa—culty—. But about myself, persisted the President where should I be put? Irvine became more confused. Why—why—You might—.1 Somebody out in the hall called Ed ! Oh Ed I Excuse me a moment. Doctor, said Irvine rising hastily to his feet and moving toward the door. He went out and closed it behind him. The transom, how- ever, was open and a rather impatient voice was heard to say: No I don t want you, Irvine. I’m after Eld Gorsage. The Presiaenl waited for Irvine s return, but he never came back and to this day the place and manner of the President’s bestowal in Ascension Hall is a mystery. Smiler: He live not now that knows me to be in love: yet I am in love; but team of norses shall not pluck that from me; nor who tis I love ; and yet t� maid ; but what maid, I will not tell myself; and yet tis a Harcourt nuxJ- p eiwo baadred The College Diary.
