FEW months of realization of the Sophomoric reveries, brought the Juniors face to face with new duties. The newest of these was the inauguration of a custom that prevails in every institution of high standing. This duty became more urgent, when the General Conference of the Church made it imperative upon every college uuder the recognition of her board of education, to have a curriculum homologous with the colleges of recognized superiority. Accordingly, that the Juniors of this and succeeding years might be abreast of all the better movements in the college world, the class of 1899 determined to publish this first annual. In its composition, we have endeavored to conform to the desires of all concerned, and, if there is but a thread of the seemingly sarcastic, it is really only the expression of the burlesque, and not the scurrilous. It is earnestly hoped that the Bizarre will cause those who have gone out of the places which we now occupy, to lift their faces from the object of their chief concern, and once again salute the White and Blue. It is further hoped, that this first edition will prove to be but the in- ception of a factor in the weal of our college, that shall be so reinforced by the efforts of present and future students, as to preclude falter and any means of successful restraint; and that the boys and girls, into whose hands this volume may chance to fall, maj ' become better acquainted with the college and thereby be attracted to its associations and privileges. If one of these desires shall be realized, let it then be said : Bizarre ! Made virtute esto. Because we cannot disallow the usual happenings to such a publication , we give it over to the critics for a final word. Editors. Ebitoiial Staff. lED(tor=in=abief. Harry E.

Accordingly in 1866 this institution was founded, and in 1867 chartered by a special act of the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Annville, located in the heart of the beautiful Lebanon Valley, was chosen on account of its accessibility, healthfulness and inspiring scenery and because of the liberalit} ' of public-spirited citizens. It is the purpose of Lebanon Valley College to give such liberal cul_ ture as will qualif} young men and women to be practical and self, reliant as well as learned. The purpose of the founders, as set forth in the charter, was to plant an institution which would become so ample in facilities and manifold in departments as to furnish instruction in all the subjects of a general and special education. Towards this original purpose the institution is rapidly advancing. Its courses of study — Classical, Scientific and Musical — are extensive and thorough, equal to those of the best colleges in the country, pro- viding that liberal culture and breadth of knowledge at which the higher education aims. The buildings, three in number, are situated on a fine campus of about ten acres, within easy access of the railroad station, post-office, churches and the usual business centres. Since the founding of the institution, the following have served as Presidents : Thomas R. Vickroy, i866- ' 7i. Lucian H. Hammond, iSyi- ' je. David D. De Long, i876- ' 87. Edmund S. Lorenz, i887- ' 89. Cyrus J. Kephart, iSBg- ' go. E. Benj. Bierman, i890- ' 97. Hervin U. Roop, 1897. During these years 240 youiii men and women have graduated ana more than 3,000 young people have been at least partially prepared for all the more prominent and influential callings in life — for the law, medicine, the ministry, for the press, authorship, teaching, for legislative and judicial positions — giving a Christian education for all these spheres of activity that most directly and decisively shape the char- acter and wield the power of the nation.

Class Mietor  OMETS, meteors, stars, worlds and systems, like the fluctua- tions of the tide, appear and disappear at regular intervals. These ordinar_v phenomena of nature are the beginning of investigation, the origin of scientific research, the source of philosophical thought, and the mother of metaphj ' sical interpretation. So many organizations, though by their very nature transient, are the inexhaustible fountains from which issues the immortal blood of the human race. In the political world three successive steps — suppression, dissatisfac- tion and revolution — are the parent of a new government. In the collegiate world, Sophomore vanity, self-inflation and blind superstition, in connection with the inconceivable ignorance and vain vauntings of the Preps., compels those occupying the adjoining province to organize themselves into an invincible Macedonian phalanx, to resist the invasion of this second Attila, the apparent second scourge of God. The Freshman, as he emerges from the Preparatory, the chrysalis state, is the most beautiful butterflj ' of pride that ever man did spy. When we were Freshmen, never were we more closely united to ac- complish our cause ; never more daring in deed ; never more firm in adopting and carrying out our resolutions. Everj one, when reeling on a vast precipice of an impending danger, was strengthened by repeating the motto common to all Freshmen : Where I am, there art thou (class- mate) also. Thy conceit and th} ' greenness, the} comfort me. Our Freshman year is replete with interesting and dramatic scenes, and if they should ever be reduced to writing, they would surpass any comic History of Greece, Rome, England or the United Slates now extant. While we were sojourning in Freshmen Land we built a strong battle- ship, and christened it Progress, which conveyed us across the bosom of the briny, boisterous sea. Intervention, to Sophomore country, of which we were destined to become naturalized citizens. The scenery of this region of the collegiate globe was of an eccentric nature. While the class was taking a pleasure tour through the country, a peculiar object monopolized their attention. Every one claimed to be able to tell at a distance what it was. The opinions varied from a monkey to a mule. Finally, on account of the differing opinions, the class con- cluded that there exist no realities, external to mind and idea, which may in any way be proven, and, from that day, the class became skeptical and critical with respect to every theory. After our return from this trip we built a balloon to take us across the Mediterranean Sea, which separates the two hemispheres of the collegiatg sphere. The reason we crossed this ocean in a balloon was to prepare ourselves to enter the Junior Empire, which is inhabited b} ' a scientific people. There we pursued, with great interest, the study of Natural Philosophy, but some of the members could never fully comprehend the principles of mechanics and magnetism, because some male members could never at- tract their opposite. Thej ' philosophized, but were unable to solve the problem. The greatest event, while we were pilgrims of this glorious empire, was the Junior excursion to Penryn Park, to honor the illustrious Tribes — Preps., Freshmen, Sophomores and Seniors, who were located around us. The day was enjoyed by all, since it was conducted differently from any other outing. The members were exceedingly anxious that the year should draw to a close. At last the day came, and, as the time came for our departure, we assembled on the campus of the Capitol Building of the Empire, and held our farewell services, since we were graduates of the ancient and modern languages. We closed the services with the following song : Praise pony, froiij whom translations flow ! Praise him, all students here below ! Praise him, above, ye alumni host ! Praise keeper, horse, and tlieir joint ghost ! After the President had pronounced the benediction, we traveled on 35 foot from the Junior Empire to the Senior Kingdom, which is joined to the former by a narrow isthmus. On our arrival at the Capitol of the Senior Kingdom we had only three of the charter members, besides seven others who took the place of those who left us. In this kingdom, realism transplanted our Sophomore skepticism, through the testimony of the fossils, the attestation of philosophy, the guide of logic, and the pursuance of practical, scientific work. We realize that we are no longer the same persons as when we started. Our entire personalit} ' has changed, and as we draw aside the veil of the future and survey its beautiful landscapes, who can tell how it will end ? We as a class have about traversed the entire collegiate globe. The goddess of concord, peace and unity has alwa} ' s heralded us onward to our destined goal. We have about completed a noble conquest, and one might as well tr} to harness the wind, saddle a hornet, make a polar expedition on the back of a wasp, or take a day ' s outing on the wings of greasj lightning, as to give a full history of our class. It is easy for a bald-headed man to locate an itching spot on the top of his sterile cranium, when a mosquito sits on it, giving him encourage- ment and inspiration, ever urging him on in his efforts, but if one should endeavor to trace the life of ever ' member in the different spheres of sense and nonsense, he would need more than earthly aid to accomplish his task. — Historian Class poem. Nunc Initium Finit. Wheu as Freshmeu we ' d left our fond mothers ' arms Aud come to our college, entranced with its charms, Our hazing time past lo the verj ' last day, As slowly we clean the last traces away The only words that our seared lips can say — ' ' Nunc initium Jinit. When as Sophs we start in on our waj ' of destruction, All confused by an old Greek or Latin production, And to find out the meanings our poor brains cannot, We in deepest despair loan an old, time-worn trot. And in triumph exclaim as we turn to our cot — Nunc initium finil. ' When next, as Juniors, a loved ladj ' fair Answers our suit with a lock of her hair: With our vanity wounded and love-sick, heart-sore, We iu agony groan as we come to explore How her love has been held by five Juniors before — Nunc i7iitium finit ! Wheu as Seniors we con our philosophies o ' er, Wheu filled with exploded systems of yore, Puffed up with our greatness, and yearning for fame, We go into the world to achieve a great name, Enraptured with self, we exulting exclaim — iViwic initium finit. But when life ' s coui ' se is finished — its curriculum run — And we find no post-graduate work can be done. Then a vision of far brighter halls we behold And a campus whose pa ' ings are all of pure gold, Humblj ' our dying lips these words will mould — Nunc initium finit. — POET. ofy G TtD l-T.C Junior Class. .

S the might) ' oak has its rise in the small acorn, so likewise, it can be truh ' said that the class of ' 99, though very small in its origin has grown to be a mighty force. It is with pleasure that your humble historian traces its successive growths and achievements from its inccplum. On a beautiful Saturday in June, of which month the poet has so beautifuUj ' said, — ' ' And what is so rare as a day in June ? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then heaven tries the earth, if it be true ; And over it softly her warm ear lays, — one maiden and three youths strolled one by one to a beautiful grove where Nature seemed to pour forth lavishly her richest possessions. As they stood on the mossy bank, pondering the great possibilities of their future college life, the gigantic trees bowing, as it were, in their pi ' esence, the birds chirping and singing songs of welcome, and the stream rolling its peaceful waters at their feet, they organized themselves into the class of ' 99. Unaware were their fellow students that a new class had sprung into existence, for Silence reigned supreme. But during the Commence- ment week the class emerged from its silence into public recognition as they entered the Freshman year from Prepdom. Quietly vacation passed away. In the Fall of ' 95, all the founders of the class returned to undergo the experience of Freshies, usually noted for wisdom, and to pine away at the studies of the college curri- culum. But not alone did they undertake the task, for eight more united in fellowship with them. They consisted of lads and lasses and communicated one to another their woes and sorrows. They manifested their class loyalty by wearing pins and their flag was alwaj ' s at the head. The close of the Freshman year was reached successfully. The class entered upon the Sophomore year with additional compan- ions. It is needless to say that the class proved itself equal to all occa- sions. It had the extreme pleasure of serving the class of ' 97 at their re- ception during Commencement week. It now stepped into the Junior year. The atmosphere of our classic halls had portended something Unusual and at last it was realized that twenty-three Juniors were about to tear up the classics and the sciences, and, not least of all, Sammie ' s shoe soles and bicj ' cle tires. Even the professors shrinked at their approach. The poor Sophs were curling up their noses and dared not to open their mouths in public. Bucknell University, Irving College, Dickinson College, and Shenendoah Institute, each contributed one to the class. Theologians, pedagogues, musicians, ar- tists, poets, authors in embryo, farmers, etc., — indeed, of a heterogeneous character — composed the class which was destined to be not only supe- rior in numbers to every other class, but also in quality, to the great envy of the Sophs. ' ' Ah ! this was a wonderful event in the history of L. V. C, for everything was to be revolutionized. Laurels were awaiting the class in every department of the college. The memorable outing given by the class to the students and professors was magnus. Mt. Gretna, the beautiful summer resort, was the goal of every one. Our ladies proved themselves perfect hostesses and gave their hungry guests enough to eat. But soon the new President of the college was to be inaugurated and some one was to represent the student body. The Junior ranks, al- ways ready for action, are called upon and one of our theologians is chosen. On February 22, 1898, a flag was to be presented by the stu- dents to the college with a grand program. A Junior orator is sum- moned to give the presentation address. The patriotism that issued from the heart of the speaker, clothed in the finest of language, melted the hearts of the audience. Our public rhetoricals were full of enthusiasm and oratory. The Sophs, full of envy, held indignation meetings afterwards. But the} must be pardoned, owing to their lack of literary judgment, and we hope that under our tender care, this may be so de- veloped that, at the close of this year, they may be worthy to receive the Junior garb of dignity. The class is well represented in the athletic de- partments as well as in the different literary societies and Christian asso- ciations. Looking at the records of our class, and comparing them with the other classes of the past and present, we discover a greater number, and also more classical students in our class. Co-education and mutual com- panionship are prominent features of the class, since there are about an equal number of promising youths and pretty maidens. It is with some pride that we make reference to this — the first issue of the Bizarre. Our class has desired to keep in harmony with the active spirit manifested in our college, so dear to us, and also with other educa- tional institutions. We hope that this effort may prove a credit to our class and equally so to our own institution, and that this work, begun by us, may be continued in future years. We wish that we might portray the future of the members of the class of ' 99 ; but as this is a history — a record of past events — we dare not do this. Permit us to say that if we can judge the future by the past, the class of ' 99, will emerge from the closing hours of the nineteenth century into the morning hour of the twentieth, as bright lights in the world ' s history. — HiSTORI.lN.

O ' er the graves of the Seniors and Sophs sound a dirge; O ' er the Freshies the grasses grow green.

I exclaimed, No wonder William Cullen Bryant could not refrain from pouring out the ecstatic bliss which filled his great soul, as the green meadows, the voices of the leaves in the stately groves, the notes in the trickling brooklets and the songs of the birds, declared and revealed to him the hand of the infinite one. Here my meditations were disturbed b ' the arrival of the Sophomore class upon the scene, in such glee, and so amiable to one another, that the words of the Psalmist quickly came to my mind, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity. This suggested to me also that man is the jewel of God, and why should not I give a short record of those who are far above Brj ' ant ' s jewels, that they may be remembered by the generations following. This class, ever since it has been organized, has proved itself remark- able above others, in that it has always known its place, and has always been in it. There is another feature I cannot leave unknown. A Sophomore is gen- erally classed as a thinks he knows it all, and not until he becomes a Junior does he discover that he knows nothing. But I am greatly de- lighted to know and to say that this class awoke with that realization when the first Sophomore morn dawned upon it, this giving it one j ear advantage, by having learned early the most important of all lessons. On this account this class stands very high in the estimation of the faculty, being diligent and prompt in all things. In all the various interests of the college wherein students are engaged i the Sophomores always have a full representation. Several members removing to other institutions have been the onl} in- cidents to disturb the tranquillity of the class, although others have joined the ranks and increased the number. One member discovered that he was too far advanced for the Sopho- mores and was immediateh ' reheved of all obligations at his request. •The proper spirit toward all others, has always been cultivated by every member. Even though another hurl a dart and claim distinction, yet every individual in the class clings to the same motto : In men whom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still; In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot, I hesitate to draw a line Between t he two, wliere God has not, What further shall be the outcome of this class with its great oppor- tunities and its beginning so well made, even in its youth, remains for the rolling seasons to reveal. But as all evidences indicate, only highest suc- cess can result. Historian. Class Ipoem. I was asked upon a time, To tell in meter and in rhyme, How the class of Nineteen Hundred Like an army has been mustered. Now, our captain ' s name is Virtue, Whom all foes can not subdue; While Bravery is our general ; Courage staunch our admiral; Fighting on life ' s rolling sea. None can be more firm than he. Truth alone can pilot these Through the calm and through the breeze. Since he steers the sti ' ongest gale, Victory can tell the tale. Never shown such brilliant lights, Even in the darkest nights; In the plains nor cross the shores — Like unto the Sojihomores. Not unlike the gay young flowers Clustered ' neath the shady bowers, Ever blooming, ever smiling. Nor their brothers e ' er beguiling. Tongue can not express the pleasure, Nor the overflowing rapture, Every member prepossesses When excused from all his classes. Every Prof, says we are brilliant, Always fighting, brave and valiant; Never known to use a pony, Though the field be rough and stony. Homer, Plato, Xenophon, Great and noble works have done. U may live to see the day — 54 We shall do e ' en more than they. None of these can e ' er surpass Buch heroes as in our class. Doctors, lawyers, soloists, Teachers, preachers, and pianists, Bich and poor, find with us bliss: Was there e ' er a class like this ? Every face bears an inscription, Which reveals a benediction. Dear to us our, Si deus Nobiscum qui contra nos. Lillie, Flora, Anna, Eeba — Fair as ancient Queen of Sheba — Versed in classics, music, art — Never gave the marble heart. Come and tell me, if you please, Can you find such maids as these? Joy and sadness crown our memory, As we near the twentieth century. Joy, because we love each other, Just as we each love our mother. Sadness, for the tasks begun, Which to-day we find undone. 55 Ifvesbman Class. Motto : ' ' Honore et Lahore. ' ' : Carnation.

H Ifiesb JDiscover , OR the first time in the history of L. V. C, has a Freshman class been called upon to write its history. Seven months of the college year have elapsed, during which time the class of 1901 has made such a record for itself, and impressed those with whom it had occasion to come in contact, in a way that all pre- dict for it a bright future. Even the know-it-all, grim looking, rest- less Sophs have expressed their views favorably. Of all the classes that have ever entered, lingered, and gone out of L. V. C, it has lately been discovered that none of them could ever present such a variety of talent as the class of ' 01 . There is no distinct phase of work or function in the College in which the members of the Freshman class do not occupy very important positions. So important, in fact, that the very lives of the boarding students depend on a member of our class, the Steward. We enjoy an honor that has never been bestowed on any previous class in the history of the College. One of the most brilliant and intelligent young men of Armenia, a man destined to make history for his country, a man who has a high purpose in life, — to live for his coun- tr5 ' men — is a member of our class. The college can well feel proud of him. Two of the most important features of the year were, first, the Junior Outing on Sept. 24, ' 97, at Mount Gretna. It was a day long to be re- membered by the class of 1901. The second feature was the Cuban dem- onstration held in our town on the evening of Feb. 12, 1898. It was an occasion in which patriotism ran high. Out of four mock speeches made to the public, three were made by members of the class of ' 01, — another reminder to the Sophs of that which they lack. In Athletics, we have the Manager, Captain and several other players of the present base-ball team. In foot-ball, our class figured prominently. The Secretary of the Athletic Association, representing the ladies, k a member of ' 01 . One of the chief features of the class is its musical talent. 58 No previous class can show an equal number of intellects. Among our number we have several State Normal graduates, representing our best Normals in the State ; a graduate from the Union Biblical Seminary ; two who hold state certificates ; one preacher ; an elocutionist and several ex- school teachers. Many of our members have already figured highly in society, and it is needless to anticipate the future. We have four ladies in our class, very congenial, pleasant, intelligent, and the most beautiful girls in the whole college. We are among the first classes to be graduated in the 20th century and who can appreciate the influence of the class of 1901 to be exerted upon her Alma Mater, and not only her Alma Mater, but the country at large, by adhering to her motto, ' • ' Honor e et labore. — Historian. Class poem. Nature with all her beauties Has lessons for every one. The college with all her duties, Has hers for young ' 01. With Honor and Labor jjress onward, Though difficulties have only begun. JBe true to your motto forever, Ye Freshmen, brave ' 01. We learn as we grow older That life ' s game is not luck. To win it grow daily bolder. Use hard Labor and Pluck. Honor ' s a tribute. Knows no wrong. T ' will smooth the rugged road, AVhile Labor whose arms are strong. Will carry the heaviest load. With Steel and Garnet o ' er you, Press on till the prize is won. ■ Honor and Labor, will guide you, Brave Freshmen, strong ' 01. Prep. He p IP reparator , Senior. Arabella Batdorf, . S. . . .

A mass meeting was therefore called on the 6th of March of the above year which resulted in the organization of a Y. M. C. A., with Mr. T. W. Sneath as President; Mr. Hummell as vice-President ; S. G. Merrich as Secretary ; D. Shields as Treasurer. From that time to this the association has held weekly meetings. Once a month mission- ary meetings are held, in order that the students may keep in touch with the missionary movements all over the world. Our association has been represented at the Student Conference which is held at Northfield, Mass. every year. The association at the present time is in a flourishing con- dition, the students are awakening to a realization of the importance of the work, and great interest is therefore being manifested. If the inter- est continues there is no reason whatever why our association should not have even a more prosperous year than any she has yet had. In these days of Fraternities and Literary Societies the Y. M. C. A. is often in danger of being neglected. While our own institution is not guilty of this we need to guard against it continually. In the Fall Term when new students arrive we are very apt to ask students to join a Literary Society before we ask them to join the Y. M. C. A. It is perfectly proper for every man to work for his society, but it is no more difl cult to ask him at the same time to join the Y. M. C. A. If there is any place in a college where men should lay aside all Fraternity, Society, and Class spirit, it is in the weekly meeting of the Y. M. C. A. L,et every man keep in mind during the coming year, that however much credit one de- serves for winning a man for a Literary Society, he deserves vastly more for winning him to the Y. M. C.

N the wintry and dreary month of February of the year 1886, a band of young women assembled in the parlor of Lebanon Val- ley College and organized a Young Woman ' s Christian Associa- tion. Since that time it has been the custom to hold the meet- ings weekly in the College Y. W. C. A. Hall, a room kept sacred for this purpose. The object of this ladies ' association is to read, and to study God ' s word, and to help each other to develop a noble womanhood, and firm Christian character. J- be Stubents ' lpra )er flDcetincj. The students assemble once each week during the college year in the college chapel, in prayer service. The meetings are well attended and topics of interest and benefit are discussed by students to whom they are assigned by the leader. Leader,— J. W. YoE, ' 98. TLhc Bible IRormal mnion. R. R.

IRbetorical On the silent evening air, Ringing down the old worn stair, Comes the sound of some one speaking loudly through the chapel door. And he thrills us all with wonder, For his voice — it sounds like thunder. And his eye-balls flash with glory never seen or known before, For a Senior is this fellow, And his brain it is so mellow, That his words flow fast as rivers, and indeed some are as long. He knows more than President, And his nose is long and bent. And his head — oh do not laugh ; he cannot help his hair is gone ! Ever since the war ' s been coming This old fellow has stopped chumming With a Louisiana, Lu, L,a, Lu, L,a, Lu — And his head is on a swell. This is why he has to yell.

Oh, so nice, But before he could squeal, He had made a good meal, She had swallowed him down in a trice. — as mc Came— as Me Xeft. We came here one day From our homes far away, A student band, hearty and hale, We hoped for much fame And the Gospel proclaim, And be classed on an equal with Yale. We were built all O. K., For foot-ball to play, We could boast of some Sampson ' s, so strong, And our girls; my, how pretty. And some. Oh, how witty, But our beauty, it was not for long. To-day, thin as pins. Noses resting on chins, And ribs sticking out all around. We sing hollow tones. We ' ve no flesh, only bones, And some of them drop on the ground . 101 I say with a tear, The reason is clear, Why we all look so ghostly and pale, I ' m sad to repeat, We got nothing to eat, But crackers, worm-eaten and stale. If you list when we speak, You can hear our bones creak, And the teeth fall around in each mouth- Alas, we must go. With steps sad and slow, To a much hotter clime, farther South (?). 102 AS iAtf - Our Dinm Hall — Mbat Some are at a ipart ).

And gone the happy day — And noisy throbbings fill each breast — Since Jimmy ' s come to stay — We do not know just when he came. For him we ' ve never met, We do not know if he be lame, Or if his hair be jet, — He takes his walks all in the night, — In the room above ' ' Lou ' s head He does his work without a light — But never makes his bed — Things don ' t seem like they used to seem, Since Jimmy ' s come to stay — The house is all in a state of scream.

We hear him take his great boots off — And drop them on the floor, It seems then like he gives a cough. And marches toward the door — His rounds so stealthily he steaks. We know that he is there. Because we hear those awful creaks. When he comes down the stair — The windows rattle when he comes. The rats run in the wall. Our blood runs cold e ' en to our thumbs — When Jimmy walks the hall. Up in that room he takes his walks, Now this is nol a Fad, For when Miss Wolfe gives us her talks, She hears him just as bad. The doors unlock before our eyes, And ope without a sound.

HE word college stands for a clearly defined, comprehensive, and highly organized social unit, and as this unit embraces all per- fected and verified knowledge and symmetrical culture, we could not spend our time more profitably than in the examina- tion of its real structure and the normal functioning of its parts- I need not inform my readers that there are such things as knowledge and culture and progress in the world. The ver} ' first human beings that stood upon this planet were dissatisfied with things about them and began to discover and to invent. They discovered substances and forces and laws, and invented means of enjoj ' iug them. The} ' invented language, society and government, and they were religious beings. The lives of their descendants became more and more artificial, their wants increased, their desire to know expanded, until now the world and the cosmos are ours. The possession of the earth is coupled with the knowledge of the earth. The mind is at the back of all. Knowledge underlies all posses- sion. The progress of the world is not founded upon railroads, and steamships, and electric lights, upon factories and art galleries, upon legis- latures and courts and governments. These are the results and servants of the progress of the world ; they are the works of the men of mind. They are inventions founded upon science and knowledge. Culture is the child of knowledge. We do not need X.o possess more, but to know more and increase the number of those who know, and the college is the place where men learn to know. To speak after the manner of science, the college is an organized being with definite structures and functions, all having reference to knowledge. The college is I. An organization of Teachers and patrons of knowledge. 120 2. An organized body of students or seekers after knowledge, with a view to their own perfect development and to their participation in the making of new knowledge. 3. An organized atheneum of truth, which opens an account with every student who has a nugget of knowledge in his possession. 4. An association of men and women all vivified and ennobled by the same ideal of culture. I. As an orgenization of teachers and patrons of knowledge. In America the college is an incorporated body of trustees and teach- ers for imparting instruction in the higher knowledge. ' In ancient Rome any corporate body was a college. There are no colleges in Germany, the gymnasia taking their place. The college of France is a gov- ernment institution, supplying lectures of the highest s ort. The Eng- lish colleges are always attached to universities, though there are, as with us, professional colleges of different kinds. But the American college is, as I have said, a body of teachers and trustees banded together to teach all that is known, to be the guardians, the friends, and the keep- ers of the atheneum. It is not merely a number of individuals, like guests in a hotel, each a brilliant gem, a bright particular star. Alone, in such capacity, each man is only a pedagogue, and may work selfishly to the in- jury of the entire organism. The college is, or ought to be, one, from the first man who spent his life to found it down to the last men who work in it and are willing to sacrifice their lives for one another and for the whole. What I insist on is not the separate, discrete forces of knowing, but the correlation and conservation of intellectual forces of making known; not the star that difFereth from another star in glory, but the constellation, more brilliant and complicated than any stellar object; not the lustre and preciousness of any element or study in a curriculum, but the in- finite variety of combinations possible among all elements ; not the flower or fruit of a season, but the whole tree, continually enlarging and furnish- ing shade and joy as the ages roll on ; not the eye, nor the hand nor the foot, but the whole body, fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part. 121 Let us take an example or two from the natural world. In the lowest forms of life, a single cell may perform everj ' function of living. It is born, runs the course of its existence in a few hours, and dies. But in the highest organic bodies there is the greatest multiplication of parts, coupled with the greatest differentiation of functions, all parts co-oper- ating, however, and making the work of each possible and efficient. Again , in the world about us there seem to be three separate spheres , the solid earth, the waters, and the atmosphere, and they are so regarded. But science teaches us that each invades the other two unceasingly. Air is in the waters and penetrates the crust of the earth. Water in numberless forms of use and beauty fills the atmosphere and penetrates the earth. The earth impregnates the water and the air. Now it is not anj ' one of these elements alone and apart that displays the processes and loveliness of nature, but the fully organized commingling of each with all under the stimulating action of their president, the sun. The un- parallelled grandeur of an autumnal sunset is due to the refractions of light shining on the water and earth in the air. Every spear of grass and living creature is a product of earth, air, water, and sunlight co-operat- ing to that end. It is just so in the higher cultured life of which I am speaking. Com- mon men and women may and do acquire a little of it. They are like the protozoans. Those that are a little better circumstanced are pene- trated further by it, and, themselves, move about more widely in it. You would find among the early historic nations or among the pio- neer families of our States or in the country village a little more of this precious refinement, a cultured mind or two, young men and young wo- men agitated and reaching out to get possession of the treasures of knowledge until their souls have been caught in ' ' the great waves that echo around the worlds. This is the initiatory species of that kind of organism which comes by and by, in its most highly developed existences, to include all the world knows. Of this evolution the college is the highest expression. Trustees and professors are a unit. Neither can say to the other, I have no need of thee. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, geography, geology, biology, sociology, language, history, literature, philosophy, cannot say one to another, ' ' I have no need of thee. Nay, those studies in the well-organ- ized curriculums which, to the utilitarian , seem more feeble, are necessary, and those branches which seem to the uncultured to be less honorable, upon these the endowed college should bestow more abundant honor. This insoluble compound of elements, this system of worlds of thought, this organism in which are bound up all the known, this pedagogic esprit de corps, constitute the brilliancy, the order, the vivacity, the glory of the true college. Where such an establishment exists, it is the best society, and the pride of the community where it is found and of all who are in touch of it. II . The college an organized body of students and seekers after knowledge. As, in studying the faculty and government of the institution, we did not stop to investigate any one man, so we must dismiss the individual boy or girl and regard the whole band of matriculates, students, and alumni of the college as a definitely organized structure, an indissoluble company. Each elementary part undergoes many changes, and the whole mass of individuals becomes a complex , living unit, self-perpetuating and mutually helpful through the years. Emerson declares the world to be an ' ' assemblage of gates and oppor- tunities. ' ' The college has two gates — the one leading into it from the farm and the city home, from the high schools, the academies, the private instructors, and the self-made phalanx, and from all creeds and parties and conditions of birth. The rich and poor meet together, and the college is mother of them all. The journey from the home to the college gate is one strewn with benedictions. The future student is followed by prayers, filled with hopes, and received with love. I see them now trooping to the entrance gates of our colleges. Could any group of phenomena in nature be more heterogeneous than their previous scholastic training? By inheritance, by natural talents, by associations at home and abroad, by reading, by teachers, by experience, by dress and manner, they are the synonym of difference. Each year brings a new procession of these unlike recruits to the entiance-gates of our colleges, and in them, as in Peter ' s vision, every form and quality of mind in the world appears. 123 The problem for these 3 ' oung people is the problem of culture. All the way up to this point their instruction has tended to differentiation : now comes the period of integration — I mean of social, intellectual, and moral integration — the formation of a higher complex unit of cultured souls. The Apostle Paul speaks of bodies terrestrial, and bodies celestial, so there are two educations the terrestrial and the spirituelle, which last we call culture. These youths are to be taught to guess the riddle of the sphinx, to know the answer of the problem of existence. It was my privilege once to see Helen Keller, the blind and deaf girl, in the Smithsonian Institution. Shut out from the sensuous avenues ot communication with the world, upon which we must rely,. she had been taught by an ingenious teacher first to hold converse by playing upon the joints of her fingers as upon a piano, and then to speak with her lips by associating the playing upon her fingers with a set of vocal utterances agreed upon. The attendant brought her to a statue. As she stood upon a platform, her right hand resting upon the face of the cold stone, and her left hand in that of her teacher, how forlorn she looked to me, as she tried to guess the riddle of the sphinx. Her teacher, however, soon started her stream of thought in the other direction and turned her guessing into learning. Information came to the blind girl from all who stood about her, through the teacher. Her hand traced out the line indicated, her face lighted with joy, and the riddle was told. The riddle that she could not guess was revealed to her by a sympathetic world about her, of which she had not dreamed. In some such fashion our dear young people enter these museums of the soul. How many deep questions did they ponder over and try to explain to themselves in their homes ? They painted on the canvas of their imagination pictures of things to which they were blind. But in the college they place their hands in those of living teach- ers, to whom have been revealed the answers to their riddles. New streams of thought will course through their minds. However blind and deaf they may have been, their communion with the world of light will become perfected through these contacts. Furthermore, their contact •with kindred minds of their own age will give them an accurate scale by which to measure themselves and others, and certain abnormalties and 124 idiosyncrasies will become atrophied by disuse. The} ' will inake their contributions to a common stock of love and honor ; you will absorb and modify and copy common excellences. You will acquire knowledge that is common coin among the educated. You will, at small cost, be put in exchange and correspondence with every mind of the past and the present worth knowing. Every day of your sojourning you will have more to think about, and more to think about it. You will achieve a wider influence, and you will have gotten into a grander sphere of being influenced. You will hear of the Columbuses, and Vasco da Gamas, and Magellans of scientific exploration. The chords of your soul will be touched b ' the Homers and Shakespeares, the Raphaels and Michael Angelos of human- it} ' . You will be greater in every way than you were, because you will be enlarged in yourself, and because you will be in the brotherhood ot learning, the republic of letters, the communion of scientific thought. You will be stamped with the image of the king. You will pass current at face value throughout the world. Nickel, copper, silver, or gold j ' ou are by nature, but to this the college will add the mintage stamp and turn you from bullion into coin. No one knows where his life may be spent, but with these impresses he will find it hard to roam beyond the pale where they pass current. The only regret I have is that there are so many hundreds of precious minds whose povertj ' or ill fortune prevents them from ever getting into the world ' s currency. True, there are also in colleges those who go forth with the stamp on base metal, and become counterfeits in the exchange of learning. But my pity is really awakened for an} ' noble young man or woman who is capable of culture and longs for it, and cannot get it — only ore in the market of intellectual life. It is through the college that the race of scholars endures. The grave covers the heritage of thought and turns not only man to destruction, but his personal knowledge. No one can leave to son or daughter anything more than a proclivity for investigating, intensified and refined by use and culture. It is through these gates that knowledge says, Return, ye children of men. May the noble procession of youth entering the gates of our colleges continue to widen as time rolls on. III. Tin college as the repository of verified knowledge or truth. The processes in the history of ascertained truths are similar to those of our common, every-day industries, to wit: I. The discovery and revelation of truth. - .. The manipulation, or, as we might say, the artisanship of knowl- edge. 3. The conveyance and transportation of knowledge. 4. The storage and commerce of truth. 5. The consumption and enjoyment of knowledge, for its own sake, or as material of other knowledge. If you will attend to these processes you will find that all of them may be reduced to three, namely : The labors of the men that are work- ing beyond the limits of the known and verified, in order to wrest new facts and discoveries from the unknown. They are the investigators, and their legitimate work is investigation. Every moment a born investiga- tor spends in anything else is just so much loss to research. The second class have only to deal with the known and verifiable. Their function is to test the theories, to work them, if proven, into the general scheme of all truth ; to impart them to receptive minds and with undying devotion to guard the precincts of knowledge for its own sake, that no true word shall be lost, or have been spoken in vain. The third class are entirely utilitarian. They are professional and polytechnic. Their works are in- dustrial. It is they who command the earth, the waters, the winds, the phj ' sical, chemical, and vital activities to obey them. They are inter- ested in astronomy for the sailor, in physics tor the machinist, in chem- istry for the arts, in plants for the farmer, gardener, and florist, in zoology for the stockbreeder, in men for the purpose of organizing them and in- structing them to be skillful, efficient, and successful. There can be no institution without a motif — one of these three. I do not mean that a proper amount of the other two shall not be in each. But it is necessary that institutions should have only one as the ruling concept. Every constellation in the heavens, every system of worlds about each nr26 star, in an especial manner the globe itself, every movement in the air and in the water, every life in plant or animal, every machine or factory or industrial system , every production of aesthetic art and genius, every family, society, church and state has a central point, or line, or body, or person, out of which its activities spring, and around which they move. In every association of men, there is a set of unwritten laws and mo- tives in operation, working from within and from without, that constitute the genus loci. The abstract principles embodied in these laws and mo- tives are the institutional ideals. The manner of putting them into life and form is the history of the establishment. These ruling concepts soon come to b recognized and talked about in society. Men ask of banks, business firms, institutions, What sort of an establishment is that? And there are certain well-known phrases by which they are character- ized — a kind of vocabulary of standing and ideals. The college does not belong to the first class, though every college man may be an investigator in a limited sense. The investigation after truth is founded on doubt and distrust, and no one should think of making a boy ' s culture begin with doubt. Except I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe, — that is the legitimate method of the investigator. It is the work of the observatory, the laboratory, the mu- seum, the university. The college does not belong to the third class. Nothing disparaging shall be here said of utilitarianism, since the Author of the earth has com- manded men to fill up the earth and subdue it. The progress of culture has had as one of its most charming features the enlarging of the circle of human activities, the ex pansion of the sphere of influence over terrestrial powers and materials, the occupation of the world-encompassing streams of industry, the telling whence come and whither go those currents of human motives, so as to predict and circumvent them. But good men in all the ages past have been laying up treasures of verified knowledge and gems of thought, since all exploration into the unknown mast be from the known, and all art is but the renaissance of former arts. The college belongs to the second class. It is an organized body of science in the sense of all the culture of all the ages. It is the dispensary 127 of knowledge and history. It is the creator of ail-round men. It is to the student what the lexicon is to men of affairs — a living, growing, in- telligent dictionary. It is the layer of foundations upon which other men will build. It is the maker of true specialists. It is a temple erected, endowed and sustained by men who love learning for its own sake. It is the landscape garden of the soul, from which are to be excluded all things that offend. It is the training-ground for symmetrical and vigorous bod- ies, minds, souls, accomplishments. In a very short time the men and women now gathered in the colleges are to be leaders in the chief spheres of influence in society ; they are to control thought and action at the very centers of power. This, indeed, has been true always, but to-day it is a truth demanding consideration such as it never did before. There is a tearful activity nowadays in the human mind, urging it on as with an inflamed impulse that sometimes threatens to bear down every established landmark of truth and order. We would not if we could check this activity ; it is a grand thing, calling for no condemnation , but required to be so directed as to make it the means of blessing and not of cursing the varied interests with which it must have to do. The Christian college seeks to supply such training under such conditions as shall be a practical doorway to life, and in itself thoroughly adapted in all its conditions to the needs of the people. The function of the college is to keep within the boundaries of the known. The examination of new questions and the discussions of doubt- ful ones have no real place in the college. It is the common carrier, it is the merchant on whose experience we rely. The men who occupy the chairs in colleges are, or should be, teachers, not investigators. The two classes of men are not by natural endowment and training the same. The teacher must have had some university training to know best what to teach. He will always be striving to make of himself the best possible teacher. If he be not growing himself, his pupils will not grow. He is, however, par excellence, a diffuser of truth. Now, there is a false notion abroad that the investigator is ipso facto a greater man than the teacher, that the expert and specialist who finds some new mineral, or plant, or animal, or star, is a greater man than the one who takes these scattered discoveries, sys- 128 tematizes and promulgates them. The truth is otherwise. The greatest astronomers, physicists, chemists, mineralogists, geologists, botanists, zoologists, sociologists, and on to the end have had that much-abused title Professor prefixed to their names. The Newtons of the sciences were teachers. On the other hand, the born investigator is the poorest of teachers. He thinks life too short to waste on dull and unsympathetic pupils. One hour spent with them is just one hour stolen from his pre- cious, soul-absorbing work. As keepers of truths demonstrated, the col- leges will have enough to do to hold fast to the known, to systematize it and to teach it. To my intelligent readers, let mesaj in conclusion, we have examined the college as an organized body of cultured men and their patrons, as a body of youth, as a living and growing encyclopedia, a keeper, codifier and dispenser of verified knowledge, standing guard against error, but let- ting in all blessed truth — a kind of supreme court of last resort in all doubtful knowledge. Let us now finally look upon it as the common ground of all thoughtful people in the community where its lot is cast. The exit gate of the college opens, like the Arc de Triomphe de I ' Etoile, in Paris, upon all points of the compass, upon all the avenues of industry, upon all the roads of promotion, upon all the pleasant paths of culture. All these paths and roads and avenues have, it is true, cross streets by which they are connected. But the Xxue. plasa of the known, the rallying ground and forum of current thought, the paradeisos of the soul, is the college, the alma mater. It matters not how far a man may travel from this exit gate, even to the boundaries of scientific investigation, he can never go far enough to become independent of his abna mater. He be- comes, in fact, more dependent upon her the more he journeys. When- ever he makes a fresh discovery he must come back to make his title good, to find a name for his new species, to defend his right to speak, and to commit to his venerable treasure house his contribution of knowledge. It was here that his part in the commerce of thought began ; it is here that the garnered harvests of science are rid of all chaff and tares, and are put upon the tracks and streams of universal rnental activity. To men of learning in all its branches the college is the central telephone ofiice through which they speak and perpetuate a common acquaintance ; 129 a kind of graphophone, into which they talk, and its records are thence distributed ; a bulletin board upon which they write their discoveries so that he who runs may read. The leading minds in any pursuit must needs be in this world-encircling stream of learning. The principals of j our high schools and academies, certainly the presidents of colleges and universities, the deans and chair- men of all professional and training schools, with the leaders among the clergy, and also the bright lights of the bar, as well as the influential men in legislation, and in short, the dominant spirits of the world, are coming to be college men, or the} ' have by themselves and painfully self-taught acquired the comprehensive learning here imparted so easily. The college is the maker and keeper of all-round men, of comprehensive minds, of broad views, of universal sympathies. If you should be traveling in the strangest place on earth to you, and should happen to meet a man, clergyman, lawyer, physician, or pedagogue, who had been educated in any college whatever, you would find at once a sympathetic friend. He might not wear 3 ' our badge, nor belong to your society or fraternity, nor know your esoteric grip, but he would soon show you that he belonged to the universal brotherhood of disciplined minds, and would put himself at your service. As knowledge grows from more to more, the college must expand her walls. The number of business men of wealth and success who favor learning for its own sake will increase. The men of learning who are happy only in disseminating it will grow in numbers. The crowds of young men and women who are anxious to be within the stream of world- encircling culture will multipl}-, and the demand for a central office of general knowledge will be enlarged with the further specializations of re- search and practice. To keep up with this increase and demand and ri- valry, and to preserve from loss or detriment the treasures of the ages, will call for larger gifts, more cultured scholars, more complete organiza- tion. This is not a dead museum, like the Tower of London, where men of straw may pose in armor that once covered brave heroes. Each gener- ation must furnish new contingents. It is a living library, where the books are men, and the librarians are renewed every day, where to-morrow finds each participant a new edition of. his former self. 130 Blossom ime. The air is filled with odors sweet, The trees are white as wool. The bloom of nature is complete, With joy each heart is full — In all the year, Naught is so dear. As blossom time, sweet blossom time. No trace of any snow remains, The dead again is risen, There is a balm for all our pains — Now burst is Winter ' s prison : The robin ' s song. All, all day long. Is blossom time, dear blossom time. Oh, blossoms, as you gently sway. And give your honeyed breath. You give new life from day to day. And banish thoughts of death — Hope brighter beams, E ' en through our dreams. In blossom time, loved blossom time. A longing for the pure and true. The soul, with ardor craves. Our love seems young again and new , Past loves lie in their graves. Oh, who can tell, The magic spell. Of blossom, balmy blossom time ? We long to turn aside from care, Which tends to make us sad. And gazing on the blossoms fair. We would be only glad ! There is a rest. Steals through the breast, Unknown, except to blossom time. 131 When silenth ' the petals dear, Fall to the ground and die, Each dew drop throws o ' er them its tears, As in the grave thej lie. Something has gone, Ne ' er to return, ' Tis vanished with the blossom- time Oh, let the pure, white, blossom fade, Its lessons will remain — • Our dreams and hopes anew are made. It will return again, And life ' s drear lea, Will sweeter be, With fragrance of the blossom time. — Hattie Spangler Shelley. IKIlben t be IDioIets Come JSacJ?. When the violets come back, To the meadow and the hill, And their tiny heads peep out O ' er the grasses by the rill ; What a strangeness steals o ' er us, And our faint hearts throb anew, When we catch the odors sweet, As we gather violets blue. When the violets come back. Ah, what memories throng the brain. We muse o ' er, and almost long For our childhood ' s days again. When we waded through the grass, Wet with early morning dew, When we wandered in the wood, Gathering violets, white and blue. Wild, sweet violets of spring, Silently now, falls a tear, And my fondest kiss I place On thee, tender violet dear. For thou hast a hidden charm, Known to thee and me alone. And my life shall die again, Just as soon as thou art gone. — Hattie S. Shelley. Hbe S-unior ©utiiig. NE of the most delightful events of the year was the outing given by the members of the Junior class, on September 24th, to all the students and professors of the institution. Early in the morning, chartered cars were in readiness on Main Street, in front of the Ladies ' hall ; from whence, amid cheers and songs from the merry students, they were conveyed by the trolley cars to Lebanon. Up to this time no one except the Juniors themselves, knew where the outing was to be. Some conjectured that it might be Pen Ryn ; some guessed Ringing Rocks ; and others, of a more suspicious turn of mind, ventured to declare that Mt. Gretna was the place. On arriving at the Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad station the Juniors made the air ring with an improvised yell as follows : Ubi, ubi, ubi, emus? Where, oh where do they take us? Maximus, maximus superfine Junior Outing NINETY-NINE. Other classes responded to this outburst by their yells, the significance of which is as doubtful as the Eleusinian mysteries. Here a chartered train was waiting to convey the merry party onward upon their journey. Soon the mystery was solved. Beautiful silk badges printed in orna- mental design with the class colors, were distributed to every one on the train, even the train men were not forgotten with this little memento. Upon the badge was printed Junior Outing, Mt. Gretna. Upon arriving at this beautiful summer resort, the provisions, which were by no means a light burden, were transferred to the large dining hall. Notwithstanding the cloudy weather during the forenoon, everybody enjoyed the beautiful walks through the magnificent park. When the noon hour drew near the cooks, with the assistance of the class girls, pre- pared a bountiful dinner. Soon the students were assembled around the heavily ladened tables and enjoyed the delicacies which were so bounti- fully provided. Mr. J. W. Yoe, ' 88, presided as toastmaster. Toasts were made by President Roop, in behalf of the faculty, Mr. Allen Baer, ' 98, Mr. C. E. Snoke, ' 00, and Mr. D. M. Oyer, ' 01. After all had partaken of the meal to their satisfaction, they wandered out again to engage in the delights and amusements common to this beau- tiful resort. Some enjoyed the delightful boating on Lake Conewago, others strolled through the shady nooks of the spacious grove and still others yielded to the tempting enticements of the toboggan and the narrow gauge railway. While the Juniors were plying their oars upon the lake the sun, who, up to this time, had been hiding his shining orb behind the humid clouds, broke through and kissed the silvery waters of peaceful Conewago. It seemed to be a gentle expression of his pleasure at this auspicious event. When the day was well spent the class boys on the pretense of an errand to a neighboring farm house quietly prepared supper for the crowd. The class girls were happily surprised to find this unexpected kindness from their brothers and expressed no little pleasure that they had brothers who were skilled in culinary science. Soon all were ready for the homeward journey, and, although tired from the long strolls, there were pleasant recollections of the daj ' s enjoy- ment. Anyone who has enjoyed the cool and shady nooks, the rippling Conewago and the silvery lake into which it flows, can fulh ' appreciate the delights of famous Gretna. The Juniors are greatly indebted to Mr. A. D. Smith, the obligingand congenial superintendent of the C. and L. Railroad for courtesies shown on this occasion.

The enrollment of students for the first term was larger than that of any previous Fall term, and each new term has added considerably to the number enrolled. Under the directing and efficient head, who has constantly kept in mind the comfort of the students, the best results in the class-room and the chief interests of the college and by the heads of departments, improvements to the buildings and equipments were early projected, quite a number of which have already been made, and others are being brought to successful completion. Thus the year has resulted in the refit- ting of the Ladies ' Hall, the improvement of recitation rooms, the re- moval of the library to more convenient quarters, the enlarged equip- ment of the laboratory, and the painting of the exterior of the main building. The curricula leading to the degrees of A. B. and B. S. have been thoroughly revised, strengthened and enlarged so as to meet the best ideas in present-day collegiate training. The college has an efficient agent in the field, and his appeals for aid have been met with generous responses from the people, and in so much that the indebtedness is being rapidly provided for. New interest and enthusiasm have been awakened throughout the co-operating territory, and on all hands our people are awake to the importance and needs of the college in the east. And with the same loyal support and increasing de- votion, together with the advantages already gamed, the future success of Lebanon Valley College is assured. E Ef IJ Uo tbe IReaber.

The student or the neiv-fledged teacher who reads this was in the primary school — or the cradle ! — when we first conceived the idea, years ago, that the schoolbooks lying discarded and dusty on everybody ' s shelves, or unforgotten in closets and garrets, ought to be rescued from premature oblivion, and made to continue their usefulness in this already too expensive world prolonging their own life, and at the same time saving dimes and dollars to many a needy student. To-day every student and every teacher knows, and we want every parent to learn, that no schoolbook should be thrown away until we have been given a chance to appraise it. Everyone knows, too, that we can supply promptly, and at New York prices, any schoolbook of any publisher — probably second-hand if desired ; surely new if we happen to be out of second-hand. More than that, we stand the postage or else we prepay the expressage. Swiftness, courtesy, and fair prices make up our golden rule, and we bestow the same careful considera- tion upon the boy or girl in the remote hamlet who wants one book in a hurry, that we give to the bookseller who has his whole town to supply. Any school board, any school official, any teacher will find it not only to his convenience, but to his profit, to treat with us because we are not only at the schoolbook center (New York), but are otir selves the schoolbook head- qtiarters, thus ensuring the two great desiderata, discounts and despatch, not to mention the credit-allowance on old books consigned to us for exchange. Then, again, we ourselves publish one hundred and twenty-five Translations (the Latin, the Greek, German, and French classic writers), and a dozen-and-a-half Dictionaries of the ancient and modern languages, so that we have come to be considered the one sure clearing-house for any translation or dictionary. We also publish question-and-answer books, civil-service guides, speakers, class records, and other specialties for teachers, besides the three-hundred-odd volumes of the University Tutorial Series which comprises text-books (with the unique Teachers ' Editions, separate) covering thoroughly Greek, Latin, French, English, the sciences, mathematics, mechanics, history, ethics, logic, etc., etc. These Tutorial text-books are designed for sincere and thorough work, and are the production of sincere men whose exclusive business has been and is to fit students for the severe tests of the London University. The intention of the publishers is to fill the bill, not to rival other series. Yet many competent instructors tell us that the Tutorial books do surpass all others, both editorially and typographically. Complete list free on application. To anyone mentioning this advertisement we will send free our new and complete alphabetically arranged Catalogue of the schoolbooks of all the publishers. This Catalogue quotes our mailing prices for both new and second-hand books, and is frequently described by enthusiastic customers as a treasure in itself because so compact while so complete. Correspondents who desire to sell schoolbooks to us, should also ask for Books Wanted which is our buying Catalogue. No charge for catalogues for yourself or for any of your friends upon whom you may wish to confer the favor. Send us the address we will do the rest.
