THE ARIEL ' Underwood Observatory tracks, and many other pleasures still enjoyed today. You may wonder if we did any scholastic work. Of course that was done, but the memories of college fun and friends are among our choicest treasures. The golden, olden glory of the days gone by. . MABEL POTTER BARBER, '03, Page 18

Stephenson Hall of Science Almost reverently I speak of Dr. Lummis. What he gave to the school was greater than a mastery of Greek, a vision of a rare and beautiful soul. It was a liberal educa- tion to walk down the street with him, pointing out the beauty of a flower or the melody of a bird's song. At his going the paper said, t'Dead,- the best loved man in Appleton. The functions of college life have changed greatly. I wonder frequently if the later days of fraternities and sororities, with their more exclusive and elaborate func- tions, give more pleasure than we enjoyed inthe simpler life of 1896. College life was plentifully interspersed with pranks and fun. Who can forget how Cole and Bright and Westcott painted the new dome,-the pride of Doc Sammy's heart-and Were given the memorable fine of 3515, with appropriate remarks? How they enjoyed earning that fine, clothed in questionable tramp's attire, cleaning walks and beating rugs. Then what fun we had celebrating in every conceivable manner the victory of Wescott's oration beginning majestically, Life's greatest mystery is life! Of course there were parties down river to Potato Point, boat rides to Clifton, sleigh rides to Neenah, bobsled parties' down John street hill and across the railroad Page 17
