A course of lectures was delivered by mem- bers of the Faculty of Amherst College, in 1874. In April, 1877, Miss Blanchard, one of the associate principals, went to Europe, accompanied by her friend, Miss Evans, who had been a teacher at Mount Holyoke from her graduation, in i860, till 1868, when she became principal of Lake Erie Seminary in Painesville, Ohio. The two friends spent the spring and early summer in Italy, devoting three weeks to Venice, where they enjoyed the intimate companionship of Mrs. Lucy Wright Mitchell, a former student of Mount Holyoke and, at that time, a member of Miss Evans’ “section.” Mrs. Mitchell had just concluded a series of lectures upon the Vatican 10 � 1 “GREEK SCl'l.l'TIKK, WINTER TERM 1877. SCREEN'S S VRRANGKD FOR CI.ASS-WOKV.” rar sculptures, given by special favor, in the galleries of the Vatican, to the ladies of her classes. She and Mr. Mitchell, who was devoted to water color painting, had hidden themselves in Venice for a season of study. Mrs. Mitchell was even then outlining her great work on the History of Sculpture. But Mount Holyoke was “ the open sesame ” to their hospitality, and many were the excursions to palaces and galleries and by-ways of Venice, unknown to the tourist world, while equally interesting were the talks on art in their quaint Venetian rooms, opening from the Riva towards the island of San Giorgio. In July, Miss Blanchard and Miss Evans had reached Switzerland, on their homeward journey, when a letter was re- ceived from Mount Holyoke requesting Miss Blanchard to remain abroad for the study of the History of Art, which resulted in a change of plans for both friends. Un- expectedly their steps were turned to Zurich and to the university, which had been gen- erous, above others, in admitting women, and especially American women, to the courses in medicine. Miss Blanchard and Miss Evans found a helpful friend in Pro- fessor Kinkel, the successor of Professor Wilhelm Liibke, in History of Artat Zurich. Professor Kinkel was an intimate friend of the Hon. Carl Schurz and had a cordial interest in American students. The university term was just closing, but free admission was given to the hall of casts and to the collection of engravings, with the use of the catalogues and notes prepared for students. The opportunities at Zurich were further supplemented by months of study in Paris and 11 Al.HAMHKA COKKIDOK. I.AKF KKIK SKMIN’AKV. London, collecting books and photographs, under the direction of Mrs. Mitchell and Professor Kinkel. In a letter to Miss Blanchard dated Bassano, August 12, 1877, Mrs. Mitchell expresses her personal interest in the introduction of Art at Mount Holyoke. “ I am more than glad to be of what little service I can in this matter and wish I had it in my power to do much more. The subject is so important and one that can be made of such interest and value to young ladies, I have long desired to see it receive the systematic and careful attention, in the course at Mount Holyoke, which it deserves.” From her return, in 1878, till her res- ignation, in 1889, Miss Blanchard gave the instruction in History of Art,with the same thoroughness of preparation and mastery of principles which had characterized all her work as a teacher, together with a refined taste and a high appreciation of the master- pieces of Art. Her large and valuable photographs were freely used for her classes, or hung in the halls as a daily object lesson to all. She gave an impulse to the movement among the alumnae to secure copies of famous works in painting, the Assumption by Titian being purchased by her own class, 1858. Courses of lectures continued to be given by Professor William H. Goodyear and by Professor Mather. Meanwhile at Lake Erie Seminary, History of Art had become one of the studies of the senior year and the class of ’79 had shown their appreciation of its value by establishing a fund for the purchase of casts and other art illustrations. In 1882 Miss Randolph, of the Mount Holyoke class of 1872, returned from two years and 12 THE LECTURE ROOM, ART HISTORY. t more spent in study in the European art centres, in Greece and the Troad. She then began the work in History of Art which she has carried on for fifteen years, continuing her studies in almost yearly visits abroad and enlarging her collection of illustrative material, until it may safely be called one of the best private collections in the country. Miss Randolph’s fine enthu- siasm in study and her ready grasp of the related facts and principles in the historical develop- ment of art have been a means of growth and culture to successive classes at “ Lake Erie,” in the School of Design, Cleveland, and elsewhere throughout the Western Reserve. It is not strange that her own Alma Mater coveted her services and called her to Mount Holyoke in 1892, with the understanding, however, that one third of the year should be given to “ Lake Erie.” The teaching of History of Art at Mount Holyoke and “ Lake Erie” has been characterized by breadth and depth. The philosophical method of Germany has had a prevailing influence. If any should criticize the attempt to cover in a single course the whole ground of Ancient Art and of Modern Art to the seventeenth century, it may be answered that it has been a study of relations rather than of details. It has also been practical as well as theoretical and fundamental. Students, who have accompanied Miss Randolph, in journeys abroad, have been well prepared to profit by the experience, and have come home interested to carry out some special line of work, based upon the broad and solid foundation of their previous study. The elective courses at Mount Holyoke already offer such an opportunity, a well-defined, more detailed review in archaeology and of periods and schools of art. For such advanced special courses, however, more room is immediately required. The space used in Williston Hall is not only limited, but crowded with the work of other departments; the art gallery, on the third floor, insufficient and poorly lighted. An Art Building, is greatly needed at Mount Holyoke, to include galleries, suitable for the exhibition of casts and pictures, a large well-lighted lecture hall, with a series of smaller rooms for laboratory work, in Art History, and for the storing of valuable books and illustrations. And, in direct connection, studios for the required and elective classes in drawing and painting. In this time of new buildings for Mount Holyoke such an immediate, pressing need should not pass unrecognized, certainly of vital importance to the art department of the college. The materials for this sketch, in much the same formas here presented, were kindly furnished by Miss Evans, principal of Lake Erie Seminary. The final statement, as to the needs of the art department of Mount Holyoke College, is from an appeal written by Miss Randolph, in December. 1896. Couise ?itz=Randolpb LOUISE Fitz-Randolph was born June 25, 185 1, in Chautauqua County, New York, whither, when that region was but little settled, her family had moved from near Newburgh-on- the Hudson. The pioneer instinct may have been an inherited one; for we read of the Rev. Francis Bell, one of the ancestors of Mrs. Randolph, who went as first pastor from Boston to the colony of Stamford, Ct., “with few worldly possessions, but with the Bible under his arm and the love of God in his heart.” The Fitz-Randolph family is of Scotch descent. Miss Randolph entered Mount Holyoke in 1869, and, four years after graduation, began teaching in Lake Erie Seminary, Painesville, Ohio, where she still continues her instruction during a part of each year. Few, if any, attempts had been made to adopt History of Art to the needs of college curricula when Miss Randolph began the work. The course which has thus been developed under her study is one of peculiar breadth and symmetry. After spending the year ’ q-’So at the Boston University, she went abroad for nearly three years, visiting the various art centres of Europe, and extending the journey as far east as Constantinople. Five trips have followed, varying in length from three months to two years, and making possible a long and repeated study of the best examples in architecture, and of the masterpieces of the great galleries. Miss Randolph has also studied at the American School of Archaeology at Athens; and during continued residence in London and Paris, has enjoyed exceptional opportunities in attending lecture courses by Prof. G. G. Zerffi, of the South Kensington Art Schools, M. Callignon and M. Maspero of the College de France, and others scholars of equally acknowl- 15 edged authority in Archaeology and Art History. Results formed from work in’ the great libraries of London, Paris, and Berlin, are counted by Miss Randolph of especial value in her preparation. The itinerary of the various trips is an extended one, and covers some less beaten paths of travel, such as the valley of the Danube, the Troad, Spain, Syria, and the upper Nile. In three of the shorter journeys, young ladies, mostly students of her Art History classes, have accompanied Miss Randolph. The photographs and engravings alone collected during her travels now number about five thousand. These form an exceptionally fine supplement to the course, since they were all directly chosen for the one purpose. There are also about five hundred lantern slides selected abroad in the same way, to use in lectures, the number increasing each year. From ’83 to ‘89 Miss Randolph gave courses of lectures in the Western Reserve School of Design, Cleveland, and before the several art leagues of Pittsburgh, Saginaw, and Northern Ohio. Her connection with the Art Department of Mount Holyoke College began in 1892. As a teacher, Miss Randolph unfailingly inspires her classes with her own thoroughness, accuracy, and breadth of appreciation. And by a dignity which is gracious, and a sweetness which is strong, she has always made more real, to those who have studied with her, the truest ideals of their Alma Mater.

Colors : Gold and white. YELL: Ninety-seven! Ninety-seven! Ninety-seven seven seven! Rahy rally zip, salt! Holyoke! FOUR years have passed and our heroine has grown from girlhood to womanhood. The years have brought her added dignity but she is still as unassuming as the “ wee, modest ” daisy she wears upon her breast. There is soon to be a great event in the 33 family when Ninety-seven will go out to a new life. Before she goes she slips away from all the preparation, and the gayety of her sisters for a few moments by herself. The fire on the old hearth-stone, which a short time ago was throwing a lurid light over her face, has flickered and gone out. Ninety-seven is not cheerless, however, for she has her Mother’s spirit within her, a spirit which has learned by many struggles with the storms of these years not to be dependent on outward conditions. Her glance falls on the picture of Ninety-seven sitting on the steps of the hall of Wisdom. She laughs and wonders if she ever really looked like that, and tries to recall what has happened since then. There have been some disappointments, but she early learned to find consolation and to see through the mists the mountains she hopes some day to scale. And there have been many joys and privileges. Well does Ninety-seven remember the pride she felt when she was allowed, one morning, to scour the dewy fields for purple fleur-de-lis to lay as a farewell offering before her elder sister who was soon to leave home. And will she ever forget her feelings on that memorable day when she was reminded by the respectful attitude of her sisters, that, “ gowns at length are not mere masquerades.” The familiar sound of raindrops on the window attracts her passive attention, and a train of associated mental pictures passes before her inward eye. A troop of maidens scurry from the daisy field to take refuge in the old red mill. Ninety-seven is in their midst and, poor modest little creature, blushes very red as the maidens sing her praise and drink her health from the lov- ing cup. Now, “ It is gone, the old red mill ” and its place is taken by a throng of gay young people all carrying dainty bits of card board engraved with a royal crest. The music of the orchestra is not less harmonious than that of their voices for Make the-best-of-it has put each heart in perfect tune. Again the picture changes, and a file of umbrellas bobs gaily by. The tears they shed are tears of joy for do they not carry to press the first edition of that much-talked-of “Senior Essay? ” Perhaps it is from a blurred page of that work that Ninety-seven strains her eyes to read : “ The-----------to the freshmen-----------postponed on account of----------.” While she is trying to decipher the missing words the page fades away and Ninety-seven sees herself in her gingham apron “pairin’ apules ” and trying not to look conscious of the tender glances “ Peter Ruggles ” is bestowing upon her. There is a murmur of excited voices in the next room and the train of pictures is brought to a halt. The girls are evidently talking about a theatre party for she catches the words “ Matinee ” and “ She says there will be an opportunity for Ninety-seven to go.” Our heroine rushes from the room to learn what it all means and we, who remetxiber how careful the Mother has always been in restricting the amusements of her daughters, are surprised at this liberty. In point of fact, her Mother has realized that Ninety-seven’s nature is different from that of her other daughters and wisely allows her more freedom. But we have almost forgotten the great event for which our heroine is preparing. We have guessed all along what fortune the lines in her hand were predicting and rejoice that she is to be made so happy. It will be a church affair for she has many friends, but there will be no elaborate display. Her three younger sisters will be her maids of honor, and around her will be banks of the simple white daisy she has always loved. Can we not see her, standing where the afternoon sun falls on her face with a golden light, promising in a voice that does not falter to “ Follow the Gleam ” forever?

I), a party of archaeologists, who were engaged in excavations upon the site of a famous old college, came upon a fragment of what is thought to be a note-book in a remarkable state of preservation. From internal evidence critics have placed its date of composition about the 1896-7. Upon the title page wrhich is somewhat damaged appear only the words o crco cal evevij covra. The remainder is in the English dialect of that period. The result of this investigation is as follows: Plot Study. ♦It is evident that ’96 is the correct date, for history records that in that year special study was made of the noun, at the College 48 1. What is a plot? A plot is a complicated series of events, to be unravelled by some agent or means at the end. 2. What place has this plot? This plot as a whole holds a place superior to the treatment of character. 3. What is the plot? It is the series of events connected with the journey of the heroine “ Ninety-eight” to the temple of Knowledge. 4. Give a skeleton of the plot. Ninety-eight in her youthful days shows a decided ability to look out for herself. She is an aspiring maiden, for as a young girl she boldly takes her oldest sister to the summit of Mt. Parnassus, and does not hesitate when Hannibal beckons her over the Alps. As she grows older she begins to realize that the temple of Knowledge is more difficult of access than she had supposed. Gases and vapors envelop her at times and these clear away only for her to find herself surrounded by a hopeless array of briefs. Then she is minded to give up the struggle, but the elusive College Spirit is seen in a clear light for a moment and the vision of the Senior cap and gown is bright. So bravely though with less honor than her older sisters, she continues the struggle. Soon she begins to feel that though the way to the temple of Knowledge is rough, nevertheless at times it is pleasant. She helps her younger sisters on the way and at last sees dawning 5. Is there more than one plot? There are two plots, the minor being the series of events connected with the devotion of “ Ninety-eight” to her Alma Mater, and her desire to wear a Senior cap and gown. “ Ninety-eight” appears as the central character in both plots. 6. Give Analysis. 44 •Writing here blurred. 'The events related take place within the space of four years. This may be divided into four periods, characterized as follows: ist Period. Her salad days when she was green and tender. 2d Period. The period of satisfaction when “She knew whatever is to be known.” 3d Period. The period of awakening when she discovered “ There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in her philosophy.” 4th Period. ....... 7. Give instances of a. Accelerated movement. When Ninety-eight takes her second sleigh-ride. Time during which she is practicing for the “ Gym. Ex.” ?. Retarded movement. When “ Ninety-eight ” makes candy for “ Nineteen hundred.” When “ Ninety-eight” takes her first sleigh-ride. Period during which “Ninety-eight” wanders with the Israelites in the desert. 8. Instances of movement emphasized by a. Contrast. There is a contrast between the physiological achievements of “ Ninety-eight ” in the fall and spring of the second period. Contrast noticed in her feelings before and after the Dartmouth Glee Club concert. b. Climax. Climax reached when she develops a reasoning faculty. c. Surprise. Scene where test in English history is introduced, also At roll call in physiology. Dramatic Situations. ♦MS torn so that transcription was impossible. The interviews of “ Ninety-eight” concerning the ‘-Gym. Ex.” Scene where “ Ninety-eight ” rescues the College Spirit from the flames. The Episode called “ Six to One.” Note Minor Incidents. The frequent scenes when she is required to tell all she knows of a certain subject. The picnics which she enjoys. The introduction of the College Cap by “ Ninety-eight.” What is the Incentive Moment? The moment when “ Ninety-eight” first sees “ Ninety-five” in Cap and Gown. Climax. The point of greatest interest is reached in the collision between her executive and literary abilities, between her love for the practical and intellectual. Moment of last suspense. The moment when she sees .... Denouement. When she proudly mountsf .... What is the Motif? The motif is ou v aXX eu %i)v. ♦Critics are unable to render the rest of this passage. tA few words arc missing. The next legible word has been much discussed and critics are not agreed whether it refers to a day called Class Day or one somewhat later known as Commencement Day.

Ninety-nine! 55 Che Amethystine Diamond THE result of an interesting experiment that, during the last two years, has been carried on in the laboratories of one of our colleges is here briefly described — A quantity of quartz was ground in a mortar to the fineness of sand. This was mixed with one third as much glucose, one quarter as much tartaric acid, by weight, and copper carbonate enough to give a green color. The whole, a soft, plastic mixture, was heated gently in a large crucible, with constant stirring and the addition of Na Cl a grain at a time. As soon as the color began to disappear, a little concentrated Rhe T was added. Dense, rainbow colored fumes were given of. These formed in oddly shaped clouds, and were found to be both disagreeable and dangerous, if inhaled. Further agitation produced pale green rhombic crystals. The cause of the reaction is at present uncertain but the following equation is thought to be correct 99 A1 Ge = 9 Ge , , O M. The crystals were placed in an ignition tube and heated with Greek fire. They sublimed much in the manner of iodine. Beautiful purple vapors were formed and particles of gold appeared in the sublimate. The sublimate formed in violet crystals in regular groups, as a con- ventionalized fleur-de-lis. These crystals were left undisturbed for three months. They were then placed in a furnace and raised to a white heat. In this way all extraneous matter was destroyed, and the crystals were hardened. While still very hot, they were moistened with dilute Rhe T and placed under great pressure. The mechanical means may be found simply explained in the works of either Ganot or Carhart. 56 At the present time the crystals have not been under pressure long enough to be perfectly formed. Some small, imperfect stones, however, show what may be expected, if the process is persevered in, and great care is used in cutting and polishing. These stones are of a deep purple color, fairly brilliant, and have a power of penetration that nearly equals that of the diamond. It is hoped that this new stone will be of value in many of the arts and sciences. 57 President, Che Sophomore Officers Class .SUSIE HELEN DOANE. Vice-President, . , KATE ELIZABETH PATERSON.

Ristorv of looo Motto : Lifting better up to best. COLORS: Green and gold. YELL: Ring-a-ling, ding, ding. Nothing daunting! Tried by Fire, A nd not found Wanting! Century! THE Muse found Nineteen Hundred in quest of inspiration for her first great literary effort. Her boots looked worn and weary, but her cheeks were rosy, and she chewed her pen with healthy vigor. “ What a different creature,” remarked the Muse, “from the girl I found trying to com- pose a cheerful home letter the night after the fire.” “ Fire!” exclaimed Nineteen Hundred with a start. “ Don’t tell me that it has gone out.” And she jumped for the poker. Cinderella en route for the ball sighed in vain for a fairy godmother to restore her vanished party gowns. Would that Muses were more practical! But Nineteen Hundred reflects with satisfaction that she has had one chance to air her splendors at “ the only college affair we all went to.” And surely, grave Seniors care not for party gowns. But the Sophomores! How we shine, for now our plumage is borrowed. 06 And then the hospitable Juniors do their part toward the education and amusement of young Nineteen Hundred. They teach her how to quilt and to revel in corpulant doughnuts and apples. A procession winds up Prospect Hill. 44 How dry it was,” floats out upon the air, as a tongue of flame leaps skyward. Another and another, and one dread fiend is consigned to ashes. Ah, Nineteen Hundred! Little reck you of the monsters you have yet to conquer! Free from care, you rend the air with frantic yells, but suddenly recalled from wild enthu- siasm to the world of prosaic facts, you are reminded that drafts are not good for flat-irons. One more deed and her short history is told. She has demonstrated her vitality and the strength of her bones by surviving tip-overs on chocolate only. The tale is brief; its portents is yet to be told. 67 Cbc freshman Class Officers President, Vice-'Proictenl. Secretary ai J Treasimr, KSTHU.H POTTER. EDITH S. HASKELL ANNA H.

To it belong the professors and assistants of these departments, and the advanced students in either subject. At the weekly meetings reports are made on German, French, English and American periodicals. A paper on some special topic i6 expected from each member during the term. These reports are the result of considerable reading, and in some cases of investigation as well. Some of the subjects considered have been Electric Naves, Atomic Weight of Oxygen, Aerial Navigation, and Disinfectants. Biological Club THE Biological Club, of which all students in the Botanical and Zoological Laboratories are considered members, holds its meetings at irregular intervals throughout the college year. The meetings are open to all who are interested in the subjects presented. The program for one evening this year consisted of reports of the Boston meeting of the American Society of Naturalists. Several lectures have been given before the club by professors from other colleges and by private investigators. Miss Katherine Foot, of Evanston, 111., told of her own work on the “ Centrosomes of the Fertilized Egg of Allobophora Foetida.” Dr. James I. Peck, Professor of Biology at Williams College and Assistant Director of the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass., spoke on “The Mechanism of Inheritance ’ The subject taken by Dr. A. D. Mead of the Department of Anatomy, Brown University, was “Some General Considerations with regard to the Nervous System.” A course of lectures on “Weismannism” by Dr. Clapp will occupy the meetings for the rest of the year. 85 I ) Der Gcbbund P rased en tin, Vice-Pr seden tin t Sekretdrin and Schatwieislerin, “ Friihe Ubt sick was cin Meister werdcn will.

Bolvoke { HEAR the Sharp electric bells, Morning bells. To many a varied duty their piercing stroke impels. Many a maiden from a dream Is called forth by the fifteen, With a muttered imprecation for the bells For the bells, bells, bells, For the coldly cruel summoners, the bells. Hear the jangling of the bell. The house bell. Were it but possessed of voice It many a tale could tell, How it years hath snmmoned all, Old and young to come to Hall,” Or has rung with earnest note 11 Let each young woman come and vote.” But it rings before each meal, So we gladly hear the peal Of the bell, bell, bell, Of the old house bell. Hear the shrill call of the bell, Elevator bell. What a tale of rash impatience it doth tell, As a maid on the fifth floor Peereth wildly through the door, And believes “ that thing ” is slower Than it ever was before, While the ears of all are deafened By the bell, By the shrill, incessant pealing Of the bell. Hear the tinkling of the bell, The door bell! What a store of pleasure Its klingling doth foretell! And some Mount Holyoke lass Looketh smiling in the glass, While she listens for the tap Of the girl Who says, mayhap, That a young man from Amherst (Amherst youths are not the worst) Was the author of the ringing of the bell, Of the very welcome tinkle of the bell. 156 % Before SUNDAY stillness lies over halls and hill. Down in the parlor a group of Sophomores are practicing hymns for class prayer meeting. Up on the fifth floor sit two Freshmen, apparently engaged in writing letters. In reality they are listening to a voice in the room below, which sings to the soft music of the guitar all the dear old songs they have heard so many Sundays under such different circumstances. In a beautiful room in the South wing are gathered a little company, listening to a soft voice reading aloud, and watching the light, as it steals across a figure of the Christ and turns the deep brown velvet drapery against which it stands into the richest gold. In a little room in another part of the building a Senior is writing to her mother: “ Well, Mother, dearest, I hardly know what to write about. The world is running right along in the same old rut. I do wish something would happen just for a change. ” In a North wing room a Sophomore is showing a Freshman the ’97 Llamarada. “That farce is very good, isn’t it? Too bad that this year’s board will have no fire to write up!” Down by the lake two Juniors are strolling. “Now Dr. Clapp said that when we were out walking on Sunday and saw’ a chrysalis or a grasshopper we might pick him up.” “ Why, how smoky it looks up there! Perhaps the college is on fire!” “ Let’s run.” They run a little ways. “What nonsense! It’s the clouds. No, it’s smoke from the big chimney. Don’t you knowr we should hear some noise if it were.” “Of course. Let’s see if there isn’t a chrysalis under this mullen. I should like very much to find a milkweed butterfly, shouldn’t you?” “ It is really very smoky up there; and there are two people going across the campus. It must be most supper time, anyhow. Let’s go up.” They go on, hastening more and more as they near the college. But they reach there to find that the ante ignem period is over, and all that comes now is “ After the Fire.” ‘ IB After U T WONDER what everybody is running around so for?” asks a Soph, at the door of her room. “ What is the matter?” “ They say the shed is on fire. Better get your things out.” “Well I declare! That will be the third time this building has been on fire since I’ve been here, and it is sure either to burn down this time or be safe forever after.” “ I shall save my bottle of olives, anyhow,” remarks Little Carter, climbing up to the top shelf of her closet. One of the fire brigade dons her gym. suit, and goes down into B, South wing. “ My dear! The girls are not to try to do anything. Put on your dress and get out your property.” She returns to 5 C. “ I might just as well take these things out, though I suppose I shall have to bring them back.” L. M. C., ’97: “Can’t I help you? Where is your roommate?” “Out walking. Get my things out of the attic, will you? Here are my keys.” L. M. C. (bringing down dresses and coat): “ Here are your things, but I couldn’t lock the trunk, so I left the keys in it. You can lock it when you get time.” Five D. Miss T.

Pliny—have you heard?— Wrote his friends some letters, All about his mansions fine, How he judged his betters: Told about his published book; Of the vast destruction Wrought by dread Vesuvius, In its last eruption ; All about the little boy For the dark sea yearning; How he studied all the time— Prodigy of learning?— He wrote often to his wife, For he loved her dearly. I’ve forgotten all the rest, Can’t remember clearly. Co the Pickle at Rotet Uloodbridge thou little bright green pickle, The consoler of my heart. Of all the hotel dainties Thou the very choicest art. Thou art crisp and slim and spicy And sharpenest wit, they say, (Why, I must be very witty, For I eat three every day.) At breakfast when the waitress Will not bring her tray anear, Then, thou, pickle, dost bring comfort And a right good bit of cheer. At dinner when the mdnu Offers nothing tempting quite, Then I get some consolation From a very generous bite. And at supper when I’m tired And the world seems upside down, 'Tis thou, thou sharp green pickle Dost dispel the ugly frown. Now believe me when I tell thee That for bringing hope and cheer, Thou, the crisp and spicy pickle, Art, indeed, without a peer. 163 B fish-Rook and a Delusion IT was five in the morning. The great brick house gave no evidence of the exuberant life that bubbled through it by day. Daylight had not yet crept far enough into the long, dark corridors to pale the red lights into utter insignificance. Down one of the stairways that led from the fifth floor of the main building, a maiden came stealthily. With the utmost cau- tion she placed her slippered feet on the creakiest place in each stair. She wore a cap with Mount Holyoke gleaming across the brim, and a mackintosh that rustled harshly through the stillness; under one arm was a pair of rubber boots, in the other hand a tin pail painted green. 41 I wish my mackintosh wouldn’t swish so loud,” she thought, as she passed through the double-doors in the corridor that scraped and groaned deprecatingly. Down to the second floor she went, out through the post-office, glancing in at the “ one clock that was always correct ” on her way down to the first. At A. T. she stopped and tapped softly. The door opened and a girl, likewise in mackintosh, with rubber boots already on, came mys- teriously from the room. A sleepy murmur of “ Girls, you’re crazy!” issued from within. 44 Ready? Good! May I leave my slippers just inside your door?” 44 Yes; put on your boots here. I’ll go for some crackers.” The boots on, their owner, too, sought the milk-room, where her companion was bending over the cracker barrel. 44 What luck !” she murmured, “here’s some butter on the window-sill! Is there a knife anywhere around? Never mind, this big spoon'll do. I’ll spread them. What's in your pocket?” 44 Olives; some we had left from last night.” 44 How scrumptious! Let’s get a drink and then start.” Together they went to the faucet in the domestic hall, then quietly unlocked the lower 1(14 south door and stepped out into all the loveliness of a May morning. Both girls lifted their heads and drank deep of the delicious Spring air, then half unconsciously bowed them in heart reverence to the beauty all about them. The atmosphere filled them with an ecstasy that increased as they walked past the green-house under the pear tree, on by Mary Lyon’s tomb, and down the tree-roofed avenue that led to the boat-house. They passed the rink before either spoke, then one said, “Pauline, where’s the bait?” 44 Down in the boat-house with the poles. Do you think it’s a good morning? I do want to get a lot for the laboratory, and surprise Miss Hall and Mr. Gardiner. I only caught three last night.” “ It’s a little foggy over the lake—they bite well in fog, don’t they? O! do just look at the sun over Prospect! This pays for getting up, whether we get any fish or not.” “ But we must get the fish. Remember this is a business expedition.” “ See how the lake laughs at us as the fog rolls back ! I don’t believe it will give us any of its treasures even for the cause of science.” “ Here’s your pole. Which boat shall we take?” “ 4 Bessie Williston.’ Careful, now; I'll push out.” “ Have a cracker? Oh, these delightful olives!” 44 Epicurean menu: Crackers, morning air and olives.” 44 Is that supposed to be a climax?” 165 Paddling slowly about, they anchored at length in a little cove down by the dam, where they began their piscatorial preparations. “ You bait just like a boy, Pauline—scientifically, you know. Now, my Lumbricus doesn’t go on a bit well.” “ Hold him so, and put the hook in so. There, that’s right. Now for the horn pout!” After a moment’s expectant silence the one who wasn’t Pauline succeeded in landing a fish in the branches of the over-hanging trees. With much patient manoeuvering the line was untangled and the four-inch pout placed carefully in the pail. After this the sport grew exciting. As Pauline took her first catch off the hook she noticed water in the boat. “ Why, Sue; what shall we do? This boat’s leaking like everything!” They moved the pail and searched in vain for the leak. At last Sue exclaimed: “ What fools we mortals be! It’s the pail that’s leaking—not the boat. Look at it, you filled it up, didn’t you?” “ There, if I haven’t brought that old leaky pail! Well, there’s only one thing to be done. You must stop fishing and hold the pail in the water. Those fish must be kept alive. Now, don’t let them jump out, whatever you do.” “ We have seven now,” said Pauline at length; “ that’s not so bad. I suppose we ought to be starting. I’ll row, and you trail the pail gently along in the water.” “ Paulie, have you heard Gladys’ latest theory?” “ No.” Pauline rested on her oars. “ Well, it’s right in line with that mental transference nonsense, that’s possessed her ever since she had Psyche last fall. I don’t know what development it will take next. What with her own experiments and those she and her Harvard cousin are constantly trying by correspond- ence, I hardly dare to think while I'm in the room with her. This time she’s making a very practical application. Sunday night about twelve o'clock she willed me out of a most beatific dream to hear about it. She hadn’t been asleep. ‘Sue,’ she said, ‘ I’m not going to ask any one to go to the concert with me, but just fix my mind on the one I want, and infuse into her the desire to ask me.’ ” 166 “ 4 Some one will probably ask you, anyway,’ I suggested.” “ 4 Nobody but the one I want most, I’m sure of that,’ she persisted, gently. 4 You see, Sue,’she added, 4 if I ask a girl she might say “ yes ” whether she wanted to or not; but if she feels within her a gentle, persuasive desire to ask me she’ll think it all evolves from herself. Oh, my plan’s so convenient!’ she chuckled to herself, just before I dozed off again, 4 so con- venient I’m going to apply it to more than concerts.’ She’s been to classes ever since, firm in the belief that she can will the teachers to ask her what she knows, and ask some one else what she doesn’t know.” 44 Sue, it’s my honest opinion that something ought to be done about Gladys. She’s too theoretical. I wish we could teach her a good practical lesson. How would this be? I’ve just thought of it. Suppose we let about fifteen or twenty girls into that scheme of hers and get them all to ask her to the concert to-night. Has any one asked her yet?” 44 No.” “ Well, what do you think of it? We would tell her all about it afterwards.” 44 I’m willing. Whom shall we ask?” Together they agreed on fourteen of their especial friends. 44 That will make seven apiece for us to see. Now, we must be pretty careful how we work.” 44 She’s going to be busy to-day. She has three recitations, and is getting up a spread for that quiet little wise-eyed freshman who sits at her table. Gladys found out in that magical way of hers that the child has a birthday—the first away from home—and Gladys has also sur- mised that the girl has the feeling that nobody knows or cares that she’s only one of four hun- dred and a very insignificant one at that. She’s feeling a little downcast over her Trig., too, so she’s to have a beautiful surprise at supper.” “ Is it going to be very swell?” 44 I think fried oysters and Trilby cream, besides the usual hot biscuits and chocolate. Oh, yes, favors, of course. Gladys has been making them in her spare moments.” “Suppose we invite the little freshman to be the first to ask Gladys? She’ll probably be one that Glad will never think of asking.” 167 “ Well, I’ll see her right after breakfast.” “ Do you know what particular victim Gladys is operating on? “ No, but it is neither you nor I, for she knows the boys are coming over. They had fastened the boat and were going back up the hill. “ There, is that the breakfast bell or the fifteen?” “ It must be the fifteen. We’ll leave the fish in the shed, and I’ll slip up the back way.” A few minutes later the two fishers joined the throng of girls surging through the midway. •X- -X- fl- it was 4:30. Pauline and Sue were in A. T. when Gladys rushed in and dropped her art books on the couch. Her wide open brown eyes were glowing, her curly bronze hair was tossed in little quarrelsome curls about the senior cap. “ Girls, she said, sinking down in her little rocker and leaning breathlessly forward, ‘‘ girls, what do you think? There was a fascinatingly amazed look on her face, and her eyes were deep with wonder. “ Do tell us quick, Glad! What’s happened? “ It’s the funniest thing. You know my little scheme?—I told you this noon, Paulie dear. Why, it worked in the most marvellous way. I thought over all the girls I’d like to go with before I settled on anyone, and just my mere thinking brought every one of them to ask me— fifteen of them —and they said they just couldn’t help coming. Oh. Oh! I do believe in tele- pathy, and all that sort of thing, this confirms it. “ I should say. Keep on, Gladys, and you’ll be the most popular girl in college. Which one will you take? “ Oh, all of them! Each one said she didn’t mind if the others went. They’re all coming for me, and I shall sit next the one that asked me first, and the second will sit next, and so on. We’ll reach ’most across the chapel!” she added, gleefully. “ Come,” called Sue just then, in response to an almost inaudible knock. “ A gentleman in the reception room to see Miss Grey.” It was the soft-toned bell girl who spoke. “ Oh. Miss Markham is here too, there is a gentleman for her. lt 8 “Cousin William and Cousin George have arrived, Pauline. Thank you, we’ll go right lip.” “ Will you be up to see the boys, Glad?” “ Not before supper, I promised to whip cream for the spread.” “ We’ll watch for you at the concert.” As they left the room Gladys smiled a serene little smile all to herself. The little wise-eyed freshman walked sedately through the chapel where the girls were arranging the potted palms and ferns about the platform. The faculty chairs had all been removed, and Mendelssohn rested in marble state on the little onyx table near the piano. “ There, girls; how does that look?” “ Ought this lamp to go here?” “ I do wish we had another palm!” “ Who has a pretty rug that would do here?” All these and more vibrated on the freshman’s ear, but she did not heed, she was thinking hard. “ I think it’s horrid of those girls to go and let so many of us into her pet theories so! One of them her own room-mate, too! I shouldn’t like to be made fun of that way. For her good—pooh ! she’s twenty times too good now. I just wish I could get ahead of those girls somehow.” She passed out through the post-office and down to see if perchance an express package had come for her. “ Ah, Miss----” She was a freshman and the steward could not remember her name. “ Will you please take this message up to the President?” When the freshman left the President’s room there was actually a twinkle in the grave eyes. “ If I can only make them late to supper! And I’ll see all the girls at their tables and as many more as possible and get it spread around, that it must be kept quiet when they’re any- where in hearing distance.” Pauline and Susan, with Cousins George and William, were descending Prospect. It was about ten minutes of six. As they turned the curve a little wise-eyed freshman was searching anxiously in the grass beside the road. She looked up with a pitious expression on her face. 169 “ I've dropped my fountain pen somewhere in the grass,” she sighed. “ It's a new one—a birthday present—and I’ve wanted it all the year.” Instantly the four were searching. The freshman surreptitiously glanced at her watch, then worked her way over to a little stump. She gave a glad little cry: “ Here it is! Thank you all so much! I’m afraid I’ve made you late to supper.” Sure enough, when the three reached the midway the doors were shut, and strains of “ Hark! Hark, my soul!” were wafted through the halls. “ Devotions are lengthy to-night,” remarked Pauline a little later, leaning up against the elevator door. The two girls were in the reception room just before the concert. They had just been dilating on Gladys and her theories for the edification of the boys. “ I think the concert begins at eight.” said Pauline. “ We’ll go early and watch the grand entrance of Gladys and her telepathic victims.” They walked into the chapel. The wise-eyed freshman had just turned on the lights. “Why, we're the first ones! Never mind, we'll have first choice of seats.” Several girls were looking in the post-office door as the four marched consciously up to seats near the center of the chapel. Cousin William waved one fan. Cousin George waved another. “We must be very early,” said Pauline, “that clock's almost never right. Perhaps it begins at quarter past. The chapel fills up very quickly when the girls once begin to come. Ah! here are some now.” Several girls entered and walked through to the post-office, glancing curiously at the ex- pectant four. More girls followed, but they too passed through. By twos and threes they filed through till the post-office was full to overflowing. “ They must be distributing the mail before the concert,” said Pauline in amazement. “George, see how all those two or three hundred girls look at us!” ejaculated Cousin William. “Oh, there's Gladys! But where are the fifteen?” Gladys came quickly toward them. “What are you people sitting here for? Don’t you f know there’s no concert?” 170 “ No concert?” “Why, of course not; weren't you at supper? The President received a telegram about five o’clock. The girls had all the decorating done, so they left it till later. It was announced at table that they couldn't come. I don't know who turned on the lights.” The wise-eyed little freshman went through the chapel just then and smiled. She was followed by about a hundred others, who also smiled. -x- x- -: • -x- -x- It was Sue who stayed awake that night. 41 Gladys,” she said—it was about twelve o’clock —44 do you know we put all those girls up to ask you?” 44 Yes, dear,” said Gladys, sweetly, 44 I thought I’d just help you amuse yourselves.” “There’s one thing about it”—Sue’s tone was very thoughtful—44 if the present freshman class doesn't put that little wise-eyed girl on their executive committee next year they’ll be making a big mistake. Plow she ever got all those girls to keep quiet about the change is a marvel!” 44 It only illustrates how pervasive a thought is when it once gets started among three or four hundred girls,” said Gladys, dreamily. 171 H Senior’s Reoery y HAT is it that with longing look The Freshman eyes and hugs her book And hopes to gain by hook or crook? A Tassel. And if the Sophomore so bold Should deign her purpose to unfold, What is it that she’d have and hold? Von Tassel. What is it ever fills with hope The Junior, toiling up the slope, And gives her zeal with work to cope? That Tassel. And yet when she has reached that goal, What is it that she can’t control With all the patience in her soul? Same Tassel. What, like a wicked, roguish sprite, Blows in her face in sheer delight. And takes away her very sight? Bold Tassel! Whene’er she fain would study well. What dangles in her eyes—so fell!— And o’er her brain-cells casts a spell? Witch Tassel! And then in recitation’s hour, Between her and her teacher’s power There intervenes what bad black shower. Old Tassel! It gives one eye a twisted air, A face and manner full of care, And, yes, sometimes almost despair, That Tassel. If discipline the student seeks, Herself on patience if she piques, She’ll get her fill with all its freaks. Queer Tassel! Yet with it comes so much of joy, That e’en its pranks can not destroy, vShe’ll soon forget it did annoy.

They crowd around the campus, They gather near the walk With murmur, chatter, clatter. They wildly, rushly talk. You’d think them truly crazy. You’d fancy them in pain. You cannot guess the reason You’d only speak in vain. They’re not explaining logic, They’re not extolling gym, '1'hey’re ready for a racket. As round and round they skim. They do not think of theories, They do not toil with books, And yet with valiant spirit. Unconscious of their looks. They’re digging up the gravel, They’re seeking far and wide For smooth and easy rolling For a long and thrilling slide. And the secret of the matter, This zeal of student brain — In one word dear to children, We will it all explain. These girls of Ninety-seven, By spinning round and round, Those pretty tops so polished That buzz along the ground, Have lost their classic grandeur. Have crushed it in the dust, And dignity disdaining Spin tops, for spin they must. |N the Spring, the happy Freshmen dream of Mountain Day and fun, In the Spring, the haughty Sophomores sport with basket ball and run. In the Spring, the merry Juniors, plan their “ Prom Day ” best of all. In the Spring, the staid old Seniors, settle down in “ Brigham Hall.” Carnem for the Engaged Sign ' MOURN for the engaged sign—now no more Oh mourn for the engaged sign! Though our tears Serve not to bring us peace or bar the door Whence now doth burst on our reluctant ears Those knocks which can but cause a host of fears, That we must one day leave this village old And all those scenes which time the more endears; Sent by that nightmare dread of all who’re here,— That illness caused by strain upon the nerves. Oh mourn for the engaged sign—Fate is hard! You who would open boxes add your sighs! No more may you secure with it as guard, With chosen friends quite safe from prying eyes Test olives, salads cool, and chicken pies, Packed at your home by fond affection’s hand: ’Tis not that sordid greed doth cause your wrath to rise: Your store is far too small for such a band As unrestrained your dainties now demand. And thou sad maiden who art fain to seek On thy soft couch an hour’s pleasant dream Of theme or story, due within a week,— 17b Rise and confess rtis harder than doth seem— Where every thought that in thy brain doth teem Is scattered by a group of chattering girls, Who as they wander through must talk a stream Concerning earth-worms, calculus or curls,— So cease to mourn for that which is no more. “ Mourn no more!” Thus College Spirit speaks; “ For when thou enterest in thy dwellings new There canst thou then have signs more than the weeks Through which thou dost bemoan that they are few.” Thus ceases she. And I, “Sorrow has had her due, No more thy plainings loud nor murmurings low prolong; For ringing through the joys that come to view The words of the engaged sign like a song Call to me from the abodes wnere we shall dwell ere long.” i?y H Serious Drama THE goddess Athena came upon the stage, dressed in flowing robes of black, and sang with sorrow of the new order of things, when all women bear the emblems of learning. Soon must she retire to the heights of Olympus, for even there, to Athens, had come a maid from Hadley town, to plant the standard of the higher education of women. As Athena left the stage the chorus entered the orchestra and sang: “ A Sophomore she, Thinks she owns the college. Versed in general chemistry And in many an ’ology, Perfect mine of knowledge. Sophomore, Sophomore, Sophomore O, Sophomore at Mount Holyoke.” Two women then appeared, the younger of whom seemed much in awe of the elder. The maiden falteringly read a tale of Admetus, whose wife, Alcestis, was about to die in his behalf. With heartless emphasis they declared that Admetus’ profuse protestations were good for naught, and that his selfishness was more evident than his grief. As the older woman departed, the chorus thus interrogated the maiden : ‘ ‘' E7reiao'Siop: Me o9 cnro TKT)V1)S ; A€UT€payCOVl(TTT)$ ; ’ E£o£o ? ; A rt? ; 'Hraaipov ; ’’ Another then joined the maiden, and they discussed together the motives of one Shylock, a “merciless, avaricious, stony adversary.” The chorus in mocking derision cried: “My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter! Fled with a Christian ! O my Christian ducats! My ducats and my daughter!” ISO The maiden then seated herself and closely examined a green plant, while the chorus divided and sang to each other “Cryptograms,” “Phonograms,” “ Prothallus,” “Fern,” “ Archaegonia,” “ Anetheridia,” “ Agamogenesis,” “ Gamogenesis,” “Asexual,” “Sexual.” Traces of fatigue showed themselves on the girl’s face as she took her place before the type-writer. But her fingers flew swiftly, and the click of the machine was heard above the doleful chant of the chorus as with bated breath it sang, “ Please come to the Registrar’s office. Please come to the Registrar’s office. Come to my office at once.” With curious interest the audience next watched an instructor performing a paradoxical experiment. Suddenly turning to the girl, she asked her the ultimate why of the result. With a wild shriek the maiden fainted and was carried from the stage by assistants. The chorus sang, “The pressure is proportional to the depth. Reaction is always equal and con- trary to action. The coefficient of cubical expansion is three times that of the lineal expansion.” At her next appearance the girl, pale and wan, gasped out details of wanderings, of law's, of sacrifices and of feasts. In sympathy the chorus cried, “Pihahiroth! One young bullock, one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year without blemish. Kadesh-Barnea! One silver charger, one silver bowl, one gold spoon. Kibroth-hataarah ! ” HBotanical Tact proud Tre-foil to Carota said, “You’re not so wise as I. You cannot boast of such a head, However much you try.” Carota to the Tre-foil said, “ ’Tis surely wrong to grumble. And though I boast of no such head, I know' I’m much more umbel.” 181 Jim JIM is one of my best college friends, the gayest and most sociable fellow imaginable. He used to live in a large house and have a great deal of company. All day long, and often till late in the evening, the sound of music and dancing came from his reception hall. Jim was eccentric in his tastes and very ingenious in furnishing his house. Not liking the conventional plush sofas and stuffed chairs, he ordered a unique set of wooden furniture. For chairs there were bars, and instead of a rocker a comfortable seat so arranged on rollers that its motion gave one the sensation of rowing. In place of a sofa, there was a wooden frame, fitted into the wall, in the shape of a quarter circle, that made an easy lounging place. There was one seat, the most desirable of all, swung high in the air, which only the most skillful could reach. A balcony ran along one end of the room, reached by ropes hung from the ceiling, because Jim would not have stairs built. For descending from this lofty place, a light appa- ratus, supporting one under the arms, was made to run upon a rope, thus forming a very novel and delightful mode of conveyance. Once a year Jim used to hold a grand entertainment, to which he invited all his friends. Sometimes three or four hundred girls, among whom he was always popular, would come to his receptions, lie would ask a few of his most intimate friends to help him entertain, and they were always proud to be chosen. Everyone had a good time on these festive occasions. There was music, cheering, waving of banners and dancing, till the man that kept Jim’s house would give a signal by a flash of the lights that it was time to take leave of our host. There was a rumor that Jim’s house was haunted, and I confess that I believe it, for one Hallowe’en night, wrhen all was still, I looked in at the window, and saw by the pale moonlight a company of ghosts in a midnight dance. Without waiting to satisfy myself that my eyes told the truth, I fled in terror. 182 I wonder if it could have been those malicious ghosts who brought an end to all our fun. One night the house was burned down with all its contents. They say that the Hamadryads die when their trees are cut down. We feared it would be the same with Jim. He wandered about from place to place, the ghost of his former self. At first he took up his abode in the great cold rink, but was frozen out. Since then he has tried one room after another, boarding 'round, as it were. Lately Jim has settled down in a suite of rooms for the winter, and his melancholy seems to be passing away. He invites his friends to see him, a few at a time. Everyone hopes that Jim will soon regain his spirits and will build himself a fine new house before long . 183 =tn «M a pretty girP, Tfiev alt waf(e fv?2 of 122«=:, Bv t wfien I m po t ei p for sBoW ISaofi parser stops to se0 31 tittle feet aft trimfj£ sBool 31 pretty c-Ipgss of Brif Piaut Rv g, 31 Bat so ofiic auol vgPPow Bair, ;fli2 I grest roWml of BPvg.

Spent all this day at home vexing about Natural Philosophy examples that do break my brain to understand them. Being troubled in mind that I cannot bring myself to business, I do make a vow never to neglect another note-book. Sept. 27. This morning to the stationery to buy several things, one of them being the book “ Henry Esmond” as the best novel in our tongue. Dec. 3. This day did appear in sweater and college cap, as is the custom among the maids of the day. In the afternoon to gym., where, by chance, I did most grievously strike my head with a club of wood. Dec. 4. My head hath ached all night and all this morning. Have spent much time of late upon the subject of the state of the interior of the globe, and am much distressed to learn that we do constantly walk upon a quaking, quivering ball which hath a fiery hot centre with a thin crust. Am surprised and grieved that more men with me do not fear breaking through. In the evening to my teacher’s, who doth show me a cat in which she doth delight, and which is indeed very fine, having long silky hair, and being of the kind called Angora. Dec. 8. In recitation all the morning. In the evening made myself as fine as possible and did go with four friends to a quilting-bee. As we set out with a lanthorne to light us one of the greatest showers of rain fell that ever I saw. The way being very bad. the one which held the lanthorne did fall down and did cause the lanthorne to go out. When we were arrived we saw a brave sight of men and maids, some of which did make me laugh. When all were come together we did discourse much. We had a very line dinner, a dish of doughnuts, coffee, and a dish of molasses. Being come home after much mirth I to bed, and give my boots to be dried by the fire against to-morrow. 18 Dec. i i. Spent nearly all day writing Rhetoric note-book. Am troubled that against my own mind and resolution I did break my vow that I would keep my notes up to date. Dec 12. In the afternoon to hear a woman lecture upon breathing, where heard not any- thing in particular, but that deep breathing speaks for itself above all that she could say for it. And so made a very good lecture. 187 truw Tub C� «uiwtlw � iiil 1« |-� rtnl � wo matinees i WAS a Sophomore who was coming The campus walk along. From her grave, forlorn expression Clearly something had gone wrong, And I asked her as she passed me Why that look of deep dismay, “ I am going,” she said sadly, To a Physics Matined.” Twas years later, o’er the campus Came a form in cap and gown : In her hand she bore a ticket. On her face she wore a frown. To my sympathetic question She, the ticket did display “ Admit one,” I read, quite plainly, “ To the Psychy Matined.” Matinees,” I pondered gravely, “ What a blessing to us all.— Who perchance for some slight reason Sadly by the wayside fall! Matinees are now behind us, I suppose they’re still before They have been our one salvation Yet-------1 cannot wish for more.” 190 UPbat gray Back Saw “ Bum! Get a rat-trap bigger than a cat-trap! Bum! Get a rat-trap bigger than a cat-trap! Bum! Bum! Sis! Boom! Bah! West Hall! West Hall! Rah! Rah! Rah!” U vH, dearie me! What is this dreadful noise about a trap?” said Gray Back, shivering and shaking in his hole in the big oak tree. “ There it goes again! ” ' We arc the Best! We are the Best! West Hall! West Hall! West! West! West!” “ I certainly must see what it is all about. It is some of those creatures that swarm about the two large buildings on top of the hill. I'll be bound. They might let a fellow sleep.” Gray Back peeked out to make sure he was unobserved, then scurried over the bare branches to a place that commanded a good view of the campus below. Down the hill were coming a dozen or more girls. They were marching to the music of a huge dinner-bell and bearing on high blue banners with the letters W. H. “ W. H. That must stand for the West Hall they are talking about. What can they be up to? ” They stopped at the foot of the hill in front of a large wall of snow. They seemed to be discussing something and marking off a certain distance with flags. ‘•See Us! See Us! Rah! Rah! Rah! We are the fighters! Su-pre ma! ” m Gray Back almost tumbled off his seat. 44 More of them. What can it mean? But these have red banners. Suprema! So that’s their name. I really don’t see the need of quite so much racket about it. But what is that bringing up the rear? It looks like one of those funny little things with a wheel that the gardeners use in summer. That has a flag too. A M-B-U-L-A-N-C-E. Who is going to be killed? They are going the other side of the big wall and the Blues are going farther up the hill. There’s one of those black mortar boards. What is she saying? 4 One, two, three, (to! ’ Oh-h-h-h! The Blues are trying to get over that white wall. See the snowballs fly. There goes one girl over the wall. They have thrown her out again. They’re fighting over the flags. I hope the Red gets it. Yes, she has. Good! But the Blues are creeping in that unguarded corner. They have pushed some of the Reds out. The rest of the Reds are making a chair and are-----” 44 Time! Reds seven points. Blues six points.” 44 That was the mortar board again. I should think they would want a rest. I wonder some of them are not killed. I suppose it is some kind of a game, but excuse me from that kind. They have drawn up their lines again, but now the Blues are behind the wall and the Reds are on the hill. They are at it again. The walls are getting torn down. They cannot keep them out. There goes a Red off with a flag again. I believe she is going to hide it. Yes, she has buried it in the snow. But Blue saw her. She has dug it up again. They all seem to be on the same side of that wall. How can they tell who has won?” 44 Time! Blues nineteen, Reds fifteen. The Blues win the day. Scrabble on your coats and then shout all you wish, but you mustn t take cold.” 44 Well, I guess that is the last of the mortar board. There go the Blues! How cold I am! Why, the Reds are eating something. One of them dropped one on the ground. I’ll go and get warm and then come and get that cookie for my dinner. No great loss without some small gain, good friends of the Red, if you only knew it. Perhaps that will make me two dinners.” “Che Song of a Dig” WITH fingers stained with ink, With eyelids heavy and red, A student sat by her study lamp. In spite of her aching head. Grind ! Grind!

While the coal in the grate grows black And work—work—work— Till my brain is ready to crack!

A zero round, My labor for my pains. “Land ’ and “Labor,” and “Cap.,” “Capital,” “Labor” and “Land,” Till the heart is sick and the brain benumbed, As well as the weary hand.

In Art, and Science, and Trig.; And still with a pen and pale blue ink She wrote this “ Song of a Dig.” 194 H Ropeful Uiew of the Question WHY do not women have pockets? Did women ever have pockets? Will they ever have pockets? One question can easily be answered. Turn to the children’s book of wisdom and read the story of Miss Lucy Lockett: “ Lucy Lockett lost her pockett, Lydia Fisher found it. There was never a penny in it, But a ribbon around it ” This is tradition, you say, but there must be some foundation for it. The human mind, vast as its capabilities are, could never have conceived of a woman with a pocket large enough to be found and have a ribbon around it, unless the phenomenon had really occurred. So you see, women once had pockets. But Lucy Lockett fell from her high estate. She lost her pocket. To be sure, Lydia Fisher found it, but Lydia Fisher was evidently necessary, and, forgetting that she could never have a pocket full of money unless she had a pocket, she considered the empty pocket of no value and failed to transmit it to posterity. Occasionally a square-chinned woman has forced her dress-maker to make a something known to-day as a pocket. Its only claim to the title is that it is like the last authentic pocket in being always lost. Oh, the agony of that search for the pocket-book! Lydia Fisher, with all her detective instinct, could not find a modern “pocket.” “Old Sleuth” and Sherlock Holmes, and all the other famous detectives have given up the search, and it is said that the pickpockets are studying for the Civil Service examinations. Shall we give up hope? No, what has been can be. The day will come when the natural feminine longing for a pocket will assert itself, and it may be written : Gladys Van Ochet lost her pocket, Phyllis Fawncy found it. Never a silver coin was in it, But a gold band around it 195 fier tragedy THE shades of night were falling fast, As to her room the Freshman passed. Her weary eyes, glued on the floor, For hours had gazed so sadly o’er Geometry, Geometry. The midnight hour was coming fast. As to her couch the Freshman passed. Her haggard aspect seemed to say, “ I study all the night and day, Geometry, Geometry.” “ Oh stay,” the Senior said, “and rest In merry sports with maidens blest.” A teardrop rose to either eye, She only murmured in reply, “ Geometry, Geometry.” “Oh, come,” her anxious roommate said, “ For you must eat or you’ll be dead.” “ Small time to eat have such as I, For I must study till I die Geometry, Geometry.” The rosy beams of coming morn Proclaimed another day was born. It brought the Freshman direst pain ; Again reviewed that worn refrain, “ Geometry, Geometry.” The dusk of night was falling fast As to the shades the Freshman passed. No form the awestruck roommate sees, But hears these words borne on the breeze, “ Geometry, Geometry.” 1 196 % Of Stoves THERE be divers kindes of stoves not only in sondry parts of the Massachusetts comm on weale, but alsoe in divers dwellings of everie town therein. Some burn for fuel wood; some coal; But there be that declare that there is no manner of stove superior to an oil stove. For, they do say with much positiveness of opinion that this same oil stove requireth neither coal nor wood—which perchance must be brought up from the cellar deep in the bowels of the earth. It needeth none other than so much oil as it doth burn in one day the whyche one maye carrye to her room in suche vessel of tin as she maye most convenyently. Howbeit this oil must needs be brought up thrice in each day and it doth often occur that the large vessel (the whyche doth containe five gallons) doth empty itself mervayously, when the weather is moste cold. And it hath at tymes become emptie upon the eve of the Sabbath when it was past the hour that one may make purchase, so that the may dens in the house must needs retire to bed at an early hour and also to be late in rising. The oil stove is also of such small syze that it doth take up but lyttle space in a corner, the whyche two couches and a book case do furnish. Howbeit it hath at tymes become so warm in one of the couches that the mayden who did sleep therein did needs rise and cast off her bed covering. Whereupon she did find that her covering did smoke and burn. The oil stove is also very cleanly. There is neither dust of coal nor chips of wood, neither any ash within the room. Howbeit, it hath occurred that the maydens did go out to supper and did have expectation to return into a warm room. When the first mayden did return and open the door she did think that the room must needs be on fire, and did at once bethink her with sadness of a new headdress which she had but that day purchased. Nevertheless, she soon did call to mind the oil stove, and then she did at once make fast the door and did open the windows, likewise turn- 198 ing out the flame of the stove. Then she did speedily retire from the room with many tears in her eyes and much soot upon her nose. After a succeeding interval the room was by them with great pains made clean, the whyche, however, even then their friends did call as they did cast their eyes upon the walls and ceiling, “ a studie in black and white.” Thereafter they did retire to a lower room, that they might divest the stove of its sooty coating. The one mayden did take charge of this, and the other did accompany her, that she might procure oil for the stove when it should be clean. Then it did chance that the faucet from the five gallon vessel did become too loose and did fly off so that the oil did spurt forth in two streams the which did run down upon the floor and over the soot making very curious markings upon the floor and also giving the clothing of the maidens a wondrous strange odor. Ilowbeit, I do affirm that there is no thing on earth more beneficial than the oil stove in the teaching of patience.

The girls in their muslins, the boys with their canes, Had come from the campus to avoid the hard rains. When into the hall they came with a clatter, The 4 4 Sophs M did purpose to aid in the matter. The elevator dark they filled near the hall; The stairways were crammed with 44 Fresh ” short and tall. When what to their wondering eyes should appear, But a long row of maidens, adorned in gay gear; In white gowns all gleaming, they shone wondrous fair, While a band made soft music to enliven the air. The grand rooms were crowded, and laughter was lord; All text-books and study were thoroughly floored. To the march of the Juniors the echoes re- spond, The gleaming gold banner waves to the glad sound, And flowers in silence their homage would pay, To the maidens of Holyoke, on this their 44 Prom Day.” The even then lengthens, the last walk is o’er; The tete-a-tete pleasant is seen now galore, When sudden on revel and jest, as a lash, Comes a thrilling swift darkness, the horrible flash. 44 It has wunk,” cried the maidens; 44our eve- ning is o’er; At the stroke of the tardy they throng the front door. The moonlight falls sweetly on valley and hill: The maidens of ninety-seven join with a will, In the cry to their friends as they drive out of sight— Just 44 follow the gleam,” and you’ll get home all right. 200 Our Hale Greenaway Series m pOU R little maidensa-peeking o’er the fence ; Four little maidens without a bit of sense. They moan and they groan and make a deal of noise, And all about some nonsense of gaining men- tal poise. n Where live these little lassies there are no wicked men, And boyish pranks and follies are not within their ken ; So when one day a laddie came walking o’er the lea. Cried all these little lassies, “What can this creature be?” These saucy little maidens did often beg a ride, For which their learned teacher did them sev- erely chide; So in the road with wistful gaze these chil- dren stand and wait, Until some kindly teamster takes pity on their fate. 1U One day these merry maidens were invited out to tea, In the great big chapel yonder that is so fair to see. There was a crowd of people bedecked with greatest care, But, sad it is to tell you, there was no bill of fare! At the time we ko to press this event is still prospective. 201 n Uagary from flncieni Philosophy IN the green fields of Elysium a little group of men were strolling quietly along, with all the leisure of the peaceful centuries they had passed in those happy meadows; and as they strolled, they philosophized. Little wonder that this should be true in Elysium, for it is the native horn2 of Paire Philosophic, and to all her votaries she gives even here upon the struggling earth bright glimpses of the shining peace in which she finds her home. All the members of this group had been devoted to her cause throughout their earthly course, and each had received from her the laurel crown of endless fame. They were all of her favorite nation, —the Greek,—and together they had won for her a reverence from the sons of men that could nevermore die out of human life. Sometimes from the heights of their present wisdom they would smilingly glance back at their first attempts in philosophy and they would discuss events now transpiring on the earth from the standpoint of the early views held by each when he first began to labor for insight into truth. At such a time, in the midst of deep sleep, I chanced to •catch a little of their speech. And right glad was I, for they were quaintly reflecting upon a theme of which we know much. So when I woke, I set down such fragments of it as I could recall,—not because they were instructive but because they were an odd and pleasing memory of old friends whom I should otherwise have known only in their written works on obtruse and sometimes antiquated themes. They had lifted up their eyes, and through unlimited space they saw the light falling on a fair hill crowned with elms. Behind the noble elms rose a large square brick structure, while all about and in and out moved throngs of bright and busy girls. “What should we, in the long ago, have believed to be true and real in this little phase of the world?” they were asking. “This is called a college; how should we have sought to discern all that truly belongs to the college, from that which only seems to be a part of it? What is the real college, and what of all this before us shall we reject as fake, or illusory, or in any way unreal?” There were confused answers from the oldest and earliest, but the first to speak clearly was the grave and noble “Father Parmenides”: “Only the permanent and unchanging really exists,” he was saying. “ All that varies, all that comes and goes, is no more real than the rainbow hues on an air-bubble, here for an instant, and then—where? If Mount Holyoke is anything more than a dream or a shadow, it is because it will not and can not change. Just what it has been it must forever be. The real college is the same from age to age.” “The same? How absurd!” burst forth the impetuous Heraclitus, knitting his gloomy brows in stern disapproval. “ I see nothing there in the college that is not constantly changing—the classes, the faculty, the very buildings and grounds. Every moment they are all in some way unlike what they were the moment before. Watch the light on the hills, and the flowing stream! Nothing is twice the same; nothing can remain the same. Nothing unchangeable exists. The whole world is only like a Hashing flame of fire. Fire? Did I say fire? Look! Look at the college now, and you will see that I have been inspired with quite the right word!” Silence fell for a moment while they watched from the other world the revel of the flames devouring the walls that a moment before had seemed a fit symbol of Parmenides’ unchanging and unchangeable reality. Empedocles saw the great principle of discord destroying the fair unity that had been built up by the principle of love. Democritus saw a mere shifting of atoms, the outcome of purely mechanical necessity; while Anaxagoras looked away from the tragedy to the Mind that orders and controls all material change. But they did not speak. To all three the college seemed to have been annihilated by the flames. Then a Sophist laughed. “Why, there never was any college at all except in mere opinion! Things are only what any man thinks them to be. If they want to call the ruins “a college,” it’s as truly a college as it ever was, and picking over bricks will bring them just as near the truth as any course of study. For 44 man is the measure of all things,” and every man’s ideas are quite as true as every other man’s. 4 What is the true colleger’ There is no 4 true college,’ there is no truth!” 203 Here Socrates’ eye kindled. “My good friend,” he answered, “if you will honestly answer my questions. I think we shall find that our ideas are not at variance with one another. If they should be so, we might well say “ there is no truth.” But let us examine our opinions, and the deeper our investigation goes, the more we shall find ourselves agreeing; and I believe at last we shall find we hold the same belief about what this college really consists in.” The Sophist could not escape, and Socrates put him through a series of questions that led him inexorably up to the agreement that the true college was not a thing of bricks and mortar, not a thing of cor- ridors and bedrooms, trunkrooms, dining rooms, Domestic hall, placid elevator, dispensary, and Room B, not even a thing made up of so many people and so many books. No, the real college existed in the purpose and life of those who sought to learn and to teach. These lives and purposes had not perished in the flames, and the true Mount Holyoke was only more fully alive than ever before.” At this moment the great Dreamer raised his eyes and said: “ The only true college is an ideal beyond earth, of which Mount Holyoke and all others on earth are merely shadows and broken reflections. The only real education is to be sought in the realm of visions, where all the jar and hurry and confusion, all the ignorance, the poverty, the failures, the limitations of time and strength and knowledge, are forever done away!” “Ah, Plato!” said Aristotle, “that beautiful world of yours would be of no use to us! We must live in a world of things as they are. And yet we find your great ideals revealed to us in these very things. Your visions do not have to be shut away from our earth We find them becoming actual and real in the midst of the very circumstances you despise.” While Aristotle was speaking mist seemed to be rolling between me and the Elysian fields, and bear- ing me back to earth. Yet through the mists I seemed to be echoing his words as if they were my own. “ The ideal college is not something outside of what we are doing here; it is realizing itself here by degrees, and it will keep on realizing itself forever. Mary Brigham Hall, and all the group of new college homes, will help towards realizing the ideal of college life. The inspiration of one great life and soul shall now, as always, lift the real nearer the ideal, and with the name of Mary Lyon shall be linked the names of others who have lived and labored • 04 here in the same spirit. The new curriculum will help towards realizing the ideal; the college music and athletics, the college publications, the college scholarship and character, will all bear their part in making our own Mount Holyoke a fair and beautiful image of college life and work. Not mere matter; not bricks and mortar; not an unchanging, fixed, and dead thing; not a merely changeable and unknowable thing; not a mere matter of opinion; not a dream or vision of a world outside my own. No, the true college will work its ideal out in all these forms—in bricks and mortar, the fixed and the changing, in opinion, in reason, and in vision.” And when I awoke the light of a glorious sunrise was resting on the ruins. 205 ’97 in Cap and Gown JN cap and gown I see them pass, It is indeed a wondrous class, With many a happy, bright-faced lass In cap and gown. I watch them going up and down With sunny smile or worried frown, To fame they go, and to renown, In cap and gown. And as they hasten to and fro, I ask, “ How does the old world go? ” I wonder if something will show The cap or gown. If low upon her brow so fair The Senior maid her cap doth wear, I warn you to approach with care That cap and gown. If set well back, no time lose, Just ask her for those Senior dues, Or any other thing you choose But cap and gown. If on one side with careless grace It rests above a smiling face. She thinks the world’s a “ lovely place ” For caps and gowns. But when with staid and solemn air The cap is worn, so straight and square, You’ll find ere long in chapel chair That cap and gown. The Senior passed with stately tread, She looked not back nor turned her head, “ It addeth dignity,” she said, “ My cap and gown.” -x -x- -x- -x- Ah, from these halls we soon must pass With sorrow in each heart, alas!

As longe was her face as is a rake, And she was not right fat, I undertake; But looked holme, and ther-to soberly. For she had fauden yet no fallacy, In the E. A. A. bifore her on the board, Which reason to dispeiren did afford. Her was levere have at her beddes heed A logik book, clad in crimson reed Of Aristotle’s and Jevons philosophye, Than robes riche, or fithele or gay santrye. But albe that she was a philosophre, Yet had she insufficient brains in cofre To solve this syllogism. I suppose ’Twas strange, and eek full harde to disclose. But since you may be able her to helpen, I will the problem quickly tellen,— “ No mayde in all this class ten heedes hath, As all assert who tread in wisdom's path. But any mayde hath one heed more than non, So any mayde doth eleven heedes own.” A trewely useful fact, so thought the mayde When to her logik lesson she assayed. Another very curious fact she lerned Whan to her logik class she next returned. “Those things, which modern men statistics call, Are harde whan that they on a maiden falle Whos memory lacketh; these statistics mute Are, certes, dates, and dates delicious fruit, And fruit ofte soft as any one might teche, And therefore,” so she heard the teacher’s speche, “Hard things are ofte tyme soft.” I wish ’twere so. The maiden thought, for then you surely know There would be heer no fallacy to find, And I'd delivered be from houres of grind. Y INTER was the time, a hill the place, But since the truth must always out, And brooms as sleds on which to race; The story now is spread about, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors gay, That there a Senior cap went down, United in this wondrous play. Followed by a long black gown. We thus the inference would draw, And yet not state it as a law, That Senior dignity cannot withstand A slippery broom and a slope of land. JHE Soph’mores were jumping and climbing And twisting themselves round the bar. A four-year-old watched them in wonder (He had come on a visit from far.) “ Well, how do you like the performance? And wouldn’t you like to see more?” With a look of grave wisdom he answered: “Oh, I’ve been to a circus before!” 213 Ulbat was fier name? I DREAMED that I left home to make a journey. I started out in the pleasant springtime, when the sunshine was warm and cheery. The apple trees were loaded with their wealth of pink and white, and glad little birds vied with one another in their joyous music. I started alone and full of courage. I was to meet a pleasant companion farther along the road, and had made many plans for the time when we should be together. We were to read profitable books and have pleasant talks together; we were to drink in the beauties of earth and sky and grow in soul. After a time I came in sight of my friend, but I could not overtake her, however hard I tried. I called to her but she would not stay. I tried to hasten, but the road had grown stony and I stumbled. Picking myself up, I tried to make up for lost time; but the more I hurried the faster fled the figure before me, until I was exhausted. As I sat for a moment upon a stone by the wayside there appeared before me a man with a ponderous tome under his arm. Dropping it into my lap, he said: “You are to give this to yonr friend when you meet her.” I opened the book and found that it contained innumerable magazines, with Poole’s index at the beginning. But I could not rest long, for I must climb the steep hill before me. The figure of my friend had just disappeared over the top. and I was farther behind than ever. As I toiled along the weary road, the sun grew unbearably hot, and the book grew heavier: yet I could not drop it. Half way up the hill, bent nearly double in my efforts, when I felt a touch on my arm. I turned and recognized a friend. As I held out my hand to greet him, he laid upon it a good sized paper bundle. It was tied with a cord, but through the bursting wrap- per I could see various garments ripped and torn, unmended socks and buttonless vests. “ For your friend.” was written on the wrapper. I raised my eyes from the bundle, but there was no one in sight. 214 I plodded on. The heat of the sun was so intense that I could see the grass by the road shrivel up and grow brown. But the sun clouded in as I reached the top of the hill, and one glance only did I catch of the fleeting figure ahead before a dense fog shut everything from view. But still I hurried on until I blindly precipitated myself into a stone wall built directly across my path. I groped for an opening; back and forth I felt my way until my hand came in contact with a sign board with raised letters. Slowly I spelled it out; “ stubb's. constitutional fence ; EXIT BY SPECIAL TOPIC THROUGH BRYCE’S HOLY ROMAN GATE.” An arrow pointed to the right. After great trouble I found the place, but it was filled with thorns, and when I walked there was a sound as if rustling paper. Every step was torture. I stooped to examine, and it was borne in upon me that the thorns were but the corners and knife- like edges of a mass of unanswered letters. I plodded on—on, and on, because I could not stop. My burdens grew heavier and heavier. People passed me on the road, but it was so dark that I could not see them or the bundle that each one laid in my arms. More and more slowly I went until at last I seemed hardly to crawl. I looked down; I seemed to be on the bank of a dark and swiftly flowing river. As I looked the mist lifted, and my friend stood and mocked me from the opposite bank. Mad with rage I sprang toward her, and--- Awoke! 215 Co the Philosophers of Old yE ancient sage and baffler of wit, I owe ye a grudge or two. To torment the ages with wearisome writ, Was it an honorable thing to do? That the world was quite happy before Aristotle I haven’t the slightest doubt, Who evolved syllogisms to torture a mortal. Afflictions more grievous than gout. The race is now. bothered and hampered by logic, And the fault’s exclusively yours. The manifold species of moods categoric The greatest of geniuses floors. Did you hope to impress, with your awful names, Posterity, wan and affrighted? Very well.

For while they gaze, ’twixt smiles and sighs, On the merry laughing rills, The gently sloping hills, And the distant Holyoke mills, They are watched by those eight wicked eyes. 217 THB 13BUFFS The favorite Resort for all afflicted with In- disposition, Chronic Indolence and Diseases of the Brain REMEMBER HAMILTON’S HALF - LIMB LUNCH ----- We make a specialty of soothing Lemon Pies, Pan Cakes and Cookies.

Che Chemistry of College Spirit THIS well known substance is seldom found free, but usually in combination with class spirit, an element possessing similar properties. A few years ago it was known to exist only in New England and the eastern states, but recent discoveries have shown that it abounds in the west as well. Its preparation is a very simple process. A small quantity of the well-known substances known as love and loyalty are subjected to the action of a little college and warmed to the proper temperature. A by-product effervesces rapidly in bubbles of gas, but, on cooling, beautiful crystals of Cs are formed in the liquid. The properties of this element are remarkable. It burns with a colored light, and strangely enough, different deposits give different flames. That at Holyoke gives a beautiful blue. In its gaseous form it aids the burning of other substances, causing very small quantities of intel- lectual talents which would not burn at all in common air to send forth brilliant scintillations of wit and wisdom. The amount to be found in the air at a given time is variable. It is most abundant when the atmosphere is in a disturbed condition. This is explained by its remarkable affinity for song, cheering, sleigh-bells, prom, music and similar sounds. It has been very recently dis- covered that this interesting element is so abundant after a great conflagration that the air above the ruins has a peculiarly invigorating quality and inspiration to those who breathe it. Among the numerous tests for Cs the following are selected as the best-known and the simplest. (i) Examine contributions to college monthly and annual. Literary merit is an indication of the presence of the element sought. (2) Watch carefully athletics. If they cause intense interest and excitement there is probably much Cs present. (3) Look over endowment fund lists of donations. Alumnce and student gifts prove the presence of college spirit in large quantities. m) Sir Bones Ulbo is an Inmate of UHlIiston, ttlith Jfpologies to Shakespeare YOU see me where I hang. Such as I am— A subject to outrageous jests and slights. Hut what I am, or whence I came, o why 1 stay, I know not. You wonder at my form so pale and wan, But when you know ’tis caused by tears And sighs of stupid maidens You wonder not. The maidens flock into this room With anxious mein and lagging step, And note-books clasped with death-like grip. But, Oh, the blunders made and sad mistakes, And stumbling, faltering words, And then that fatal phrase “ I do not know!” The flesh, indeed, is heir to many ills, But I, alas, have neither flesh nor heart! ’Tis only bones am I. The fate which hung me here and keeps me here Provides as cover for thes-e self-same bones Only such charts and screens and manikins As every teacher may see fit! All this I can forgive; But when some maid, in sportive mood, A pencil black between my teeth inserts, So that I seem to all the people round Merely a mortal man who dotes upon the weed, Oh, then my wrath it waxes hot O’er these my woes and hard, hard fate! And when you see me stretched upon This table here in dark despair, Know this, you see before your eyes The victim of a college joke. Sir Bones Cbe Solution of the Cate Problem THE helpless clock over the library door still told the memorable hour, twenty minutes before seven, as a moonbeam glanced up from its resting place on the shining floor. No sound of noisy whispers or half-subdued laughter disturbed the weird stillness of the place. Without, the look of desolation was increased by the huge, uncertain shadows cast by the piles of old bricks. The far-away clang of a Holyoke clock broke upon the clear night air, tolling the hour of twelve. At the first stroke there was a sound as of the patter of many small feet, and from all parts of the ruins queer, ghostly little figures came scampering over the bricks toward the court, where they sat down quietly together, each with his four little fat legs stuck stiffly out before him. The shadowy outlines of stout little heads and curly tails were scarcely discern- ible. Not a sound was to be heard from the strange assembly, until suddenly a faint, wraith- like suggestion of music began to issue from the old “Gym.,“and in a trice, as if some invisible leader had given the order, “Fall in, the small ghosts sprang upon their stiff little feet, and formed in couples in three companies. These were arranged in a hollow square, with one side lacking, only instead of being in solid ranks, there was a long, regular interval between the lines on each side, vaguely suggestive of old-time corridors. The whole body faced toward the Domestic Hall, and marched gravely forward to the slow and solemn sound of the phantom piano. Presently they stopped short, and, seeming to drop every vestige of dignity, joined in a triple ring, and began to prance gaily round a big black kettle. Round and round, faster and faster, to the hastening music, wrent the now merry com- pany. Spectral grunting sounds resolved themselves into distinct phrases, and every now and then squeals that seemed like exaggerated chuckles rose into the night. In the breathlessness of the hurry-scurry, only terse scraps of conversation escaped them. 222 “ We did it.” - Who told ’em?” “ Never guessed it.” “Served ’em right!” “ Sat on us!” “ Stood on us!” “ Fresh ones said ‘ crickets’!” “ Heard a rumor.” “ ’Fraid they’d eat us!” “ Hash—indeed !” “ Hash—guess not!” “ Hash—not much!” Then, without apparent signal, they stopped and united in a grunting p;ean of triumph: “We did it, we did it, We beat ’em, we beat ’em, We set it, we set it, We’ll never, we’ll never Be hash!” At the last emphatic word, the excited crowd surged closer and closer, and, grasping the old hash kettle, turned it squarely over, and one daring couple danced upon the perilous summit. At that moment, a shuffling step sounded on the walk from Williston, and the small spectres vanished, leaving the desolate kettle to bask in the cold rays of the descending moon.

Our only lack is a field for labor.” By rare good fortune we chanced to meet the College Spirit the other day. “ Don’t talk about me so much,” she said. 220 If JF South lladley should build sidewalks All up and down its street, If college girls should cease to say “ Hello!” when friends they greet. If all who’re called on to recite Spoke so as to be heard, If others paid attention To every single word, If every girl should realize She does not need use slang, If the Zoological library Had copies enough of “ Lang,” If the first who reads a brand new book Should not mark her favorite lines, If students should tack upon their walls Not more than a dozen “signs,” If contributions for annuals Cost less of toil and pain— Why, the world would keep revolving In its orbit just the same. the South Radley Band Stand THE general form is that of a regular, octagonal prism. Its sides are bounded by a railing carved in the fantastic and beautiful designs of trapeziums, triangles and circles. It is sustained at parallel edges by cylindrical pillars, about ten feet in altitude. A conical- shaped roof, the circumference of whose base is about eighteen feet, completes the structure. Rectangu’ar parallelopipeds, three in number, form the steps leading to the rectangular entrance. The floor is a plain surface determined by the parallel edges of the boards which compose it. The whole is situated on a spherical polygon on the surface of a sphere, whose radius is 4,000 inches and circumference 25,000 inches. On still evenings the South Hadley Band may be imagined to approach this stand as a limit, and to describe a circle, with the leader as the center. He gives the sign to begin, and all go off on a tangent. The music could scarcely be called coplanar, as no two notes are on the .same key, and the harmony is removed to infinity.

State 232 electrocuted INHERE was once in South Hadley town A monster of local renown. To serve the dear girls he insisted, Was the aim for which he existed. That murder will out. Can’t well be refuted; At last he was sentenced And electrocuted. After years of such imposition, When all had grown tired of submission, Each one, on expulsion intent, Arose with no voice of dissent. With extravagant joy— For once not unsuited— That wicked old wretch Was electrocuted. Being useful as none could gainsay, He, maintaining his high-handed sway, Filling victims with impotent rage, Shambled wickedly down to old age. With ill-gotten gains Grown rich, tis reputed; But a miser in rags When electrocuted. Girls gath'ring at sound of the band, ’Neath flags by a happy breeze fanned ; With shouts rolling volley on volley, Hailed the deadly destroyer—a trolley. This epitaph stands As yet undisputed: 41 The South Hadley Stage ---- electrocuted.” 2M Of Psychological Import SHE threw down her Psychology with a bang and everybody in the library looked up, sur- prised that this usually quiet and dignified Senior should have so far forgotten herself and her dignity. The fact was, however, that she had quite forgotten that she was a Senior, although one might expect her to be more conscious of an honor she had enjoyed for only a few days. The clock over the doorway gave warning that there was but a minute before the close of the last recitation. Miss Bentley put on her white sailor and walked over toward Williston to meet the Freshman with whom she had an engagement to row. The thought of the engage- ment could not have been the cause of the banging of the Psychology, for she greeted the Freshman in the most cordial manner, and they were soon having a gay time trying to accom- modate the long Senior stroke to the short quick one of the Freshman. After they were tired of rowing with its disadvantages of constant turning and looking out for snags, they moored their boat to the little wharf where they could see the mountains and the reflection in the water of the clouds already beginning to blush in anticipation of the sun’s setting. The beauty of their surroundings and the soft lapping of the water were conducive rather to dreamy thought than to much conversation, and Miss Bentley, with her hand gently paddling in the water, was soon sailing away with the clouds above her. The Freshman, too, was thoughtful, but she was evidently nearer the earth than her companion, for she asked suddenly, “ D.d you ever sit up after ten o’clock, Miss Bentley?” There was a startled little splash in the water as the dreamer returned from the clouds. •4 What? Excuse me, I was not listening.” “ Were you ever up after the lights went out? Because I don’t believe the awful story the Sophomore at our table told me this noon.” 235 “ Why, really, Ruth, that is a very bold question to ask a Senior. I—why. of course I do not think it is right to disobey the rules.” “ I beg your pardon, I did not mean to be rude, but do you believe in ghosts?” “No! Most decidedly not!” Her lips came together in a most determined way. Ruth had noticed that Miss Bentley never had much color in her cheeks, but she had never noticed how very white they were until she looked up at her now. “ Well, then, you don’t believe Harriet Snow’s story could be true, do you?” “ Why, child, how should I know till I heard the story?” “Of course, I didn’t think. It’s perfectly awful, though, and I don’t know that I can tell it all. She said that every night after the lights go out the Holyoke Spirit comes out and walks through the corridors, and if she comes to a room where there is a lamp burning she groans awfully loud and goes right through the door without opening it. And the first thing the girl knows she feels a cold hand on her head and a ghostly voice says, ‘My dear!’ and then the light goes out with a big puff and the room is filled with a crowd of skeletons, who laugh and shake their bones. Miss Snow said that some girls had been known to be sick for weeks after a visit like that, and that nobody would ever dare to sit up a second time.” “Until she found herself swamped with an essay,” was the reply, “ sotto voce.” “Of •course, I have never had such an experience myself, and my friends are all the good kind, so I’ve never known anyone who has, but my advice to you, Ruth, is to be on the safe side, for I have heard stories about strange things that have happened to girls who have sat up. And, while I think Harriet Snow is a nice girl, I would not be at all surprised if that story were told from her own Freshman experience before she learned the importance of the ten-o'clcck rule.” ‘ But, Miss Bentley, I should think you would have heard of this Spirit. Doesn’t she ever .appear except after ten o’clock?” “ Why, you simple child! Didn’t you know that there is not a square inch within a mile of here that is not haunted by the Holyoke Spirit? She appears at all sorts of unheard-of times and places. When I first heard of her I was terribly frightened, but I’ve grown used to her now, so that I do not often mind. I’d like to know what that was I saw last night, though.” “ Did you see her last night? Oh ! do tell me about it!” “ You poor thing. I’m getting you all nervous. It was nothing. Educated people do not believe in ghosts, except, of course, our own Holyoke ghost.” “ I wish you would tell me about it. I won’t be frightened.” 44 It could not have been anything much. Probably it was the moonlight, but last night I was up in the cupola all alone till nearly ten. I was looking up toward Prospect and just at the flash I saw a white figure walking back and forth on the “gym.” roof. She carried a torch and was holding it up high so that she could see way out into the darkness. And I could hear her say, just as plainly as though she were right beside me, 1 It must be done! It must be done!’ My! It gives me the creeps just to think of it. Professor Titchener says: 4 It is to be noted that memory—ideas, especially if they are verbal, may have among their supplements repro- ductive ideas which are really imaginative.’ I must have been nervous and imagined it, but I’m sure I had not thought of Margaret’s story since last year.” Miss Bentley’s face showed plainly that the study of psychological problems was not adapted to bringing out her pleasantest expression. She was too much engrossed with her own thoughts to notice the effect her story was having upon her companion, or she would surely have stopped. The poor little Freshman had never before heard psychology cpioted in connec- tion with ghosts, and this accessory was more impressive than any description of rattling tones or sepulchral tones could have been. Miss Bentley was silent, evidently continuing the story in her own mind. The water lapped gently against the boat and added to the solemnity of the occasion. “Oh, was it here, Miss Bentley? And who was Margaret?” “ Besides, I always thought she dreamed about her ghost, for she had been making Welch rare-bit in her room that evening. She says she was wakened by some one groaning, and the sound came apparently from under the window. So she slipped out of bed. and, surely enough, saw this figure walking around under the white birches. Her description answered exactly to the thing I saw on the ‘gym.’ roof, and Margaret said she was muttering over and over, 4 It must be done! It must be done!’ and then groaning as if she were in great agony.” 237 “ Margaret screamed and called to her roommate, but the figure was gone before she could get to the window. They had just fallen asleep again when there came that awful clang of the alarm bell, and they rushed out to find Betty’s room all on fire. Margaret always declared that the ghost set fire to Betty’s room. But then, her propensity for cause and effect is not always based on scientific principles. It gives one an uncanny feeling, though, to be visited by the same spook somebody else has seen, even if psychology does make it plain that it could be nothing more than a memory-idea, and I am sure I should not have dreamed about fire all night if it had not been for that ghost.’’ Just then a boat-load of merry girls passed the wharf, and some one called out, ‘‘The fifteen’s rung, Sue. I suppose you will not want any supper, though,” with a mischievous glance at Ruth. Ghosts and psychology were unceremoniously banished to a more propitious time. Miss Bentley hastily unfastened the boat, and seating herself at the oars, said: “You sit in the stern, Ruth, and we’ll race those girls.” A few strong strokes and they shot past the other boat. There was a wild splashing of the water as the first party realized they were being defeated, but the Senior, however unqualified she might be to cope with nightly visions, was not to be despised for general athletic abilities. As she sprang out of the boat she called out to the other party, still some distance from the boat-house, “ We’re sorry you girls are going to be late to supper.” The next day was Sunday, beautiful and bright. The girls were all talking at noon about how clear the mountains were and how good it seemed to be back with them again. Ruth could not agree with them, however. It might be a sunny day, and the old girls might be happy and pleased, but from her point of view everything looked dismal. Sunday, and she miles from home! Her room-mate, after vainly trying to persuade her to join her, had taken a book and gone to Prospect. Ruth sat in the bare little room, at least, it seemed bare to her, and tried to write her home letter. The thought of the family sitting all together—all except herself—blurred her eyes and the page so that she decided that she would not write till she should be in a more cheerful 238 mood. There was the book that Miss Bentley had loaned her that morning. She had forgotten it entirely. Perhaps she could get interested in that, and so forget her troubles. However, in vspite of the fact that she made herself comfortable on her couch with the sofa cushions her friends had brought her with their farewell good wishes, and that the first chapter of the book started out in a most interesting way, Ruth found her attention wandering. She gazed out into the court and thought how gloomy those brick walls were. And the gymnasium roof recalled Miss Bentley’s story of Friday night’s vision. Surely, this was the most dismal place in the world! Again she tried to find diversion in her book, and had just reached the description of the heroine’s home when she was conscious of some one standing beside her. She looked up into the most wonderful face she had ever seen. It was not the beauty of it that attracted her, but the mouth, so firm and yet so sympathetic, and the eyes with their depth of kindliness. And as she looked into the eyes they filled with tears, tears, however, that could not mar the expres- sion of hope on the face. Then the strong lips parted and a gentle voice said : “ At the expense of many tears and prayers and of much sacrifice were these walls raised. I would they might stand forever, a monument to the lives that have been ennobled here. Their time of usefulness is past, however, and we who reared them must not falter in the face of a duty to a new gener- ation. Arise, my daughter and go forth with the Holyoke Spirit to new opportunities.” As she finished speaking she beckoned to Ruth and disappeared. At the same moment there came the sound of loud voices, and of many feet rushing back and forth in the corridors. When Ruth could collect her senses enough to realize where she was, she found her room filled with smoke and her room-mate shaking her and crying out excitedly, 4 Ruth, come, the college is on fire and we must save our things!” After it was over and everybody was admiring everybody else for her wonderful presence of mind, Ruth sat down amid a confusion of sofa cushions, photographs and wearing apparel to think it all out. But it was too much for her Freshman brain. She longed in vain for the superior knowledge of her Senior friend, who could bring the mysteries of psychology to her aid. Do you wonder, then, that when she was asked the next morning if she were going to stay at college, she answered promptly, “Of course! Why, I love Mount Holyoke!” 239 Vo St niStress Mas I dJcll O (a r Uill gc Ho ils Pr rc iVil O O v P S At � J 5 -M O r s C Jia r ior Shays M'l i f'h' j 'S'hi t hf S ? u d c n 1 G O Oe r qrt) c r t A .

In calm strength for each to-morrow, With the golden sheen of sunshine on each fold. May be it is the morning, With its misty light adorning, The soft falling of thy banner’s silken flow; And may be it is the evening. With a deeper beauty stealing, O’er a memory that remains from long ago. Then here’s to thee, now and ever. Who would break the tie or sever The strong band that binds each heart to ’98?

Adorned with royal purple we, Like Sheba’s queen, will bow the knee To wisdom as it’s taught by thee— Mount Holyoke, ever dear! And when old times the century rends, And other duties each one sends, To follow her ambition’s ends The wide world o’er, We’ll be faithful, pure and true To Alma Mater and the blue, And all the dear ones that we knew In Holyoke, Ninety-nine ! 24:1 1900 Class Song TUNE: “AULD LANG SYNE HOULD 1900 be forgot— The class of courage true, Fast welded by the fiery Haines To Holyoke and the blue?

Indeed, what shape it ought to be I cannot always tell. Equations long, of second degree, Here, too, are in their place; While parallel lines to infinity Take up a lot of space. Chorus- Each fall my customers are new, Each March I’ve said “ Good-bye,” And then I take a litte rest, But none so glad as I. So good-bye to Mount Holyoke halls, And all within them, too: No tongue can tell nor lips express How much I owe to you. Chorus TUNE: Psychology Song “ THE HONEST LITTLE DOLLAR ” yE maids of 97, Come join us in our song. A time for great rejoicing now has come. For fourteen weeks we’ve sojourned With Professor Titchener, Now can you say you really feel “at home? ’ The problem of psychology With its external aids Has pulled our mental processes in twain. The rules of introspection Serve only to affirm Our commonest sensation still is pain. From holding the attention In such an active state, We’ve felt the strain in every special sense, And so we’ve come to recognize That a sensation is Unpleasant when the effort is intense. The examination stimulus Has power to arouse Sensations indescribable and queer, Emotions, moods, and sentiments,— We’re conscious to the end Of all the joys that fill the Senior year. 246 Polly Komi Song TUNE: “ [IN(iLE BELLS’ JEOUR hours a week have we In solid study spent, On political economy Unto our heart’s content.

But faint glimmerings of light streaked the night of despair Time and Space as mere Thought-forms to us did declare The truths of Resartus. And on adamant rock Stood we “ bandy-legged bipeds,” unhurt by the shock! So to-day we salute thee, oh. Sartor, poor beast! Our long toil is over, nightly vigils have ceased. We’ve read all thy riddles, thy mysteries explored— Although we’ll admit that at times we were floored. Now we are called to leave thee, A fond farewell we’ll give thee. Though other loves may claim us, There’ll none be half so famous. Farewell, Carlyle, my own true love, Farewell, farewell, my own, to thee. 248 Eaton Renaissance Song TUNE: ETON BRATING SONG Ringing, gaily singing, In the merry Rennaissance, The loved guitar is ringing The music for the dance.

No labor tried in vain, For love of truth and knowledge, And deepest loyalty Unto our own dear college Turns toil to pleasure free. Playing, lightly playing, With care-free heartsome glee. To rhythmic music swaying In laughing gaiety. With joyous romp and frolic, With moonlight serenades, We drive away the shadows, Eight happy college maids.

If ought ever went wrong, Weather, dinner or song, She would say “ It’s not thus in the West.” There is a fair maid who plays ball, Who is so exceedingly tall; “ Put the ball in the basket!” You’ve only to ask it, And the rest can do nothing at all. There’s a certain Soph’more from Illinois, Who oft doth discourse on “ The Boys.” If they could but infer How important they were, They would all straightway seek Illinois. L.

My first’s a possession of Cupid, My second relates to the same, My whole is a Sophomore rigid Whose brilliancy promises fame. My first is something that rhymes with dong, My second’s a part of the verb to do, My whole is a maiden to whom doth belong A genius possessed by but few. It is intangible, yet by many easily handled. It is most simple, most complex. It may be almost anything; it may be practically nothing; it must be a certain definite something. It is unlimited in length, breadth, and depth, still it can be compassed. It must bear the stamp of the originator, yet must be interesting to others. It may cause people to smile, it sometimes makes them weep. It is begun with groaning, it is ended in rejoicing. In certain seasons it permeates the air, it enters into conversation, it is suggested by every event, every utterance. If you cannot guess it, ask a Junior or a Sophomore. 25G Mert are .s aH V JVJ6T «.I k r I ry y 0 i W $ After, m 9 160 Analytics Song, • 245 Anti-Monotony Club, • 99 Argumentation, • 162 Athletic Association, The Mount Holyoke, 122 Aus dem Zimmer Man Calls, etc., 199 Baccalaureate Service, . 209 Banjo Club, .
