D. historical HE NORTHWEvSTERN UNIVERSITY is the oldest of the institutions for the higher learning established in and about Chicago. The history of its development opens with an account of a meeting held on May 31, 1850, in the law office of the Honorable Grant Goodrich, in Chicago. At that meeting a committee of five was appointed to draft a charter for a university to be established in Chicago, and another committee of three was created whose duty it was to see what amount of money could be secured for the endowment of the institution. A resolution was passed declaring that the interests of Christian learning demand the immediate establishment of a university in the Northwest. A charter was obtained and approved by the Governor, Januarj- 28, 1851. In October, 1852, Rev. Philo Judson was appointed agent to solicit funds for the University. In June, 1853, Clark T. Hinman, a member of the Michigan Conference, was elected the first president of the University. The formal opening of the University did not, however, take place before November 5, 1855, and prior to that time Dr. Hinman died at Troy, New York. As there was no university to supervise, Dr. Hinman ' s duties had consisted in traveling in its interests and presenting its claims to the conferences and churches. He was known as a popular preacher, and is said to have been possessed of great zeal and energy. Ran- dolph S. Foster, afterward a bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, was, in 1856, elected his successor. The catalogue of the University issued in 1856 shows that during the first year — -that of 1855-56 — there were ten young men in attendance as .students. Randolph S. Foster was President and Professor of Moral Philosophy and Logic, Henry S. Noyes was Professor of Mathematics, W. D. Godman Professor of Greek, and Daniel Bonbright Professor of Latin. The only other person named in the catalogue as a member of the Faculty was Rev. Abel Stevens, who had been elected Profes.sor of Rhetoric and English Literature, but he never accepted the ])osition. At that time three courses of study had been established — a literary course, a scientific course and an eclectic course. In the latter course students were to be allowed, within a ])rescril)ed range, to jjursue such studies as they i)referred. The catalogue announced tliat students wishing to take the scientific course will be initiated by the present Coiitiniicd on |). 25. College of Ciberal fi. 6.

Ciiai ' Man Ristory of the nortbwestern University -commucd Faculty, with the expectation that the Chairs of Natural Science will be filled at the next meeting of the Board. ' ' The academic year was divided into three terms of thirteen weeks each, and there was but one vacation, and that likewise extended over a period of thirteen weeks. It w-as provided that examinations should be held at the cl ose of each term, and at the close of the Sophomore and Senior years there were to be examinations on the studies of the two preceding years. The work of instruction was carried on in the building now used by the Academy, which then stood at the northwest corner of Hinman avenue and Davis street. This building was moved to its present site on the campus in 1871. The Preparatory department was established in 1857, and until 1869 the students in that department and the College students occupied together the frame building already mentioned. From the time the Preparatory school was opened until 1866 the students in the two departments were under the same faculty, but in the year named the work was separately organized. The catalogue for 1860-61 shows that there were 43 students in the College and 49 in the Preparatory school. From that date down to 1893-94 the Preparatory students outnumbered those in the College of Liberal Arts. The first building erected by the University on the campus was University Hall, which was commenced in 1868 and first occupied in 1869. The old frame building, moved, as before stated, to its present site in 1871, was then given over exclusively to the Preparatory school. Science Hall was erected in 1S86 and first used for class work in April, 1887. The Observatory was the next building completed, being built in 1888-89. The Lunt Library building was commenced in 1893, and was occupied in September, 1894. Annie May Swift Hall was erected in 1894-95. Heck Hall was built by the Institute in 1866-67, Memorial Hall in 1886-87. The first professional school of the University was the Medical school, which united with the L ' niversity in 1869. The Law school came next, in 1873, when the Union College of Law passed under the joint management of Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. In 1886 a school of Pharmacy was established as a part of the University, and was known as the Illinois College of Pharmacy, and in 1887 a Dental school was added, known as the University Dental College. In 1892 the Woman ' s Medical College of Chicago was purchased by the L ' niversity, and a similar policy was pursued, its name being changed to Northwestern University Woman ' s Medical School and the control over it vested in the University Board of Trustees. Within a few years new quarters have been provided for the professional schools. In 1892-93 a handsome structure, costing without the land more than 1130,000, was erected in Chicago for the Medical and Pharmacy schools. And in 1893 an additional building was erected by the side of the former at a cost of about |4o,ooo, which is at present used by the Dental and Medical schools. In 1894 the Law school was removed from its cramped and unsuitable quarters in the Dickej- building, on Dearborn street, to the handsome accommodations which have been provided for it in the Masonic Temple. In 1892 the Medical school established a four jears ' course of study for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. The Woman ' s Medical school did the same in 1894. The Law school in 1895-96 took action lengthening its course from one of two to one of three years. The Pharmacy Continued from p. 14. 25 Ristory of tbe northwestern University cenfm«cd school in 1893-94 established an advanced course leading to the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist. The Dental school was one of the first dental schools of the United States to establish a three years ' course. The College of Liberal Arts has within a year decided to adopt a policy inaugurated at Columbia and Cornell Universities in New York, under which a certain amount of work in theology, medicine or law may be credited on the Arts degrees. The number of courses open to undergraduates in the College of Liberal Arts in 1S90 was 41, and the number offered in 1894-95 was increased to 126, while the number open to graduate students was 33. The following statement of the number of students in attendance on the degree-conferring departments evidences the growth which the University has made : 1860-1861 ......... 92 1869-1870 ......... 184 1879-1880 464 1889-1890 1037 The catalogue for 1895-96 when issued will show about 3,000 students enrolled in all departments, as against about 1,500 enrolled in all departments in 1889-90. The catalogue for the year last named gave a total enrollment of 1,692, but the enrollment was then made by the calendar year instead of by the college year, as now. The estimate of 1,500 is, therefore, a proper basis of comparison under the system of enumeration now prevailing. The increase in numbers in the last few years is probably as great as in any other institution in the country. In 1859-60 the University had no professional schools. In 1869-70 the statistics included the students in medicine. In 1879-80 the students in law were added. In 1889-90 those in theology, pharmacy and dentistry were counted. The University has become, counting the students enrolled in its degree and non-degree conferring departments, certainly the third in point of numbers ( and it may be the second ) in the United States. The University may also claim that the work in all of its departments is being carried on with efficiency and thoroughness, and that its growth in numbers has not been attained by low requirements. On the contrary, its professional schools have been among the very first to insist on the most extended courses of instruction. In the College of Liberal Arts the ref|uirenients for admission are practically the same as at Yale and Michigan Universities. LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1 W. }• ' ,. Hknnf.tt 7 I). J,.

Schunian hg conspiracy known as the Coffee Club was organized (luring the autumn of 1893, and continued to exhibit signs of vitality during the two succeeding college 3 ' ears. vSince the spring of ' 95 it has been in a state of innocuous desuetude. The object of the club was and is (for it is by no means dead I to attain four ends : First, a wider acquaintance on the part of the ordinary upper- classman witli the best of our standard general literature, especially such books as are not definitely considered in the literary courses ; second, to promote the cultivation of the rare art of conversation among the club ' s members ; third, to break up the ail-too prevalent spirit of clannishness that prevails at Northwestern by causing the members of all cliques to know one another and to associate periodically in an informal way ; fourth, to cultivate true college spirit and loyalty at Northwestern b}- singing college songs, etc. It is believed that during the seasons when regular meetings were held some progress was made toward each of these ends. Whj- the club has not met during the present college year it is hard to tell, unless it be that the arch-conspirator has had too much athletics, plus debate, plus teaching, plus a thousand other demands on his time and nerves. But be it known to the college coninuinity that the Coffee Club is still, in the words of Mark Twain, a very liveh corpse. s 3 nortbwestern Unii)er$ity fiistorical JI$$ociation Officers H. K.

The object of the Deutsche Gesellschaft is to give students an opportunity for general conversation in German, and to enable them to appreciate the German language and literature. Not less im- portant is the function that it performs in plac- ing the students in touch with the Germans of the Northwest. That it has been eminently successful in this, is shown by the copious notices given by the German press of Chicago, the ser- vices rendered by the Germania Mannerchor, and the readiness with which eminent Germans of Chicago give of their time and talents to come and lecture to the .students. Der Deutsche Literatur Verein, which is organicallv a part of The Deutsche Gesellschaft, has the further object of sujjplenienting the work of advanced clas.ses by bringing prominent Germans to lecture to them upon literary ' and other .subjects, thus enabling them to understand connected discourse, and preparing them, should they so desire, to enter the German universities. Lectures on the fol- lowing subjects have been given this year : Der Deutsche .Soldat im Amerikanischen Bur- gerkriege, by Mr. William Vocke, of Chicago ; Franz Lieber, by Professor Hatfield, and I ' hland, by Professor Cohn, both of the Uni- versity ; Schiller, by Mr. K.

After four years of incessant labor, representatives from Northwestern, Oberlin, and the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan, met in 1890 at Ann Arbor and perfected the League which they hoped would offer the ne plus ultra of oratorical honors attained by the American collegian. Since that time the League has been strengthened by the admi.ssion of the LIniversities of Iowa and Chicago. In the first contest, held at Ann Arbor in i.Sgi, John P. Adams represented the University, and was honored with second place. The next meeting of the League was held at our own University, Northwestern ' s representative, Albert .S. Ma.son, .securing the fir.st honor. vSince that time Me.s.srs. Rimer I. Goshen, J. Mark Erickson and Eli P. Bennett have represented us at Oberlin, Wi.scon.sin and Iowa respectively. The attention that the.se contests have attracted goes far toward realizing the desires of the founders of the League — that, just as Yale, Princeton and Harvard constitute the educational circle of the Ea.st, so this close luiion of the great Western universities would re])resent the learning and culture of the West. f)inmm Dterary Society R.

Stewart President First Vice President Second Vice President Secretary Treasurer Censor The Hinnian Literarj ' Society derives its name from North-western ' s first president, the venerable Clark T. Hinman. f RGANIZED in 1856, this society is the gray-beard among the numerous mr progeny of the student ' s desire for a more intimate fellowship with his college associates. The basis of its organization is so broadly editcational that it cannot fail to recommend itself to any impartial observer. Hinman meets on Fridaj ' eveninjr of each week durinj the college year, and rej nlar programmes are carried out, consisting of extemporaneous speaking, debate and declamation. To this .society man}- prize-winners of the College attribute their training. Two prizes are offered each year exclu.sively to the members of Hinman ; one for excellence in debate, and the second for the best literary discusssion upon some practical question of the da}-. Membership and interest are both increasing, and it is hoped that another vear will see a com- petitor in the field, in order that, fighting for preferment, stronger men may be equipped for declamation, debate and oratory. missionary Board of (Control A. J. Wai,i,er President C. D. Brigham Secretary G. F. RasswkilER Treasurer The Missionarj Board of Control was organized in 1S90 for the purpose of supporting a missionary in some foreign field. It is composed of the President of the Christian Associations in the College and Academy and eight representatives whom they choose. At present the Board is supporting Miss Josephine Stahl in India.

This organization, being of national character, has re])resentation in the National Civil Service Reform League. The first object is to teach college men the true meaning of citizenshij). This is accom])lished mainly by directing their attention to the ])alent abuses of ])olilical power, and suggesting remedies. The jiractical advantage to the nation of having college men alert to her truest interest will give the infjuirer the best reason for the existence of this new and vigorous club in our .student life.

The general direction of the work and its financial maintenance is in charge of a council of the Settlement Association, and it is supported entirely by membership fees in this association and b}- voluntar}- subscriptions. A director and seven residents conduct the work of the Settlement, assisted by many who come each week to aid in clubs, classes, lectures and entertainments. We aim to make the house a social center for the neighborhood, where all may freeh ' come. The work di ides naturally into social, educational, philanthropic and civic. The number of people availing themselves of the means of improvement offered by the Settlement is constantly increasing, and there is an imperative need for more workers and larger funds with which to carr - out the plans awaiting development. 1 (iKOROE Booth 2 Makk W.

Realizing the growing necessity that college women have the ability to speak in public, they adopted as their motto training in quick thought, logical reasoning, prompt refutation, and the development of self-command under all circumstances, as well as the acquirement of knowledge on political and economic questions of the day. Each of the twelve members speaks for five minutes at each meeting, no decision, however, being made as to the winning side. The president takes no part in the de- bate, but at the end sums up the argument on both sides, making such criticisms as are needed. nortbwestcrn Cife=$aving €rew Of tbe United States Cife-Saving Service Lawrence O.

Vouttd (Uotnen ' s Cbristian Association Daisy Kendall . Theodora Irvine Stella Clapp Benta Hummel Harriet Campbell Jessie Miller Loretta Clark President First Vice President Second Vice President Tliird Vice President Recording Secretary- Corresponding Secretary Treasurer i HIS association forms the nucleus of christian interest among the young women of the University. It numbers loo young women who thus unite for the development of christian character and for active christian work. The young women of the different departments of the University are here represented, and for this reason this organization has a broad field for its labors. It feels the responsibilit}- of deepening the christian life of the college within its circle of influence. Membership is not conditioned upon intellect, wealth or social position; in its meetings, denominations are kept in the back- ground, and only the principles of Christianity are empha.sized. The association is brought to the notice of new .students by the work done at the beginning of the college year. The new girls are made to feel a warm welcome in every possible wa}-; they are met at the train by friendly faces and guided through the mazes of matriculation b}- helpful hands, and in return for this disinterested aid they are asked to sign but one more document, the Religious Statistics Card. More public, but none the less cordial, is the welcome extended to them at the Association Reception on Friday night. Nor does this spirit of friendline.ss become obliterated b_v the contending interests of college life, for it is the aim of the a.s.sociation to supp h- a bond of sympath} ' between all the 3-oung women of the college world. The association contributes to the religious life by its devotional meetings, both regular and special, and to the social life by its receptions and socials; in .short, the Young Women ' s Christian A.sso- ciation aims to be broad in its interests and Christ -like in its aims. s 4 Voung men ' s £bri$nan Jlssociation Officers i$ 6 H.

The association aims not only to provide prayer meetings, but to supply the needs of college men. It places even greater emphasis on the all-round man than the Greek letter fraternities do. The philosopher ' s triangle, which, being equilateral, represents to the Y. M. C. A. man the equal development of bodj-, mind and spirit. In order to do this the As.sociation encourages athletics, strives after true scholarship, and prays for a devout spirit. There has been a gradual growth in strength of organization and wholesome influence during these six years. The membership now numbers one hundred and eightj-five. There are twelve standing committees, and it is the policy of the A.s.sociation to give ever} ' member .some form of Christian .service to do.

Jllutnni Association HAT the Alinnni Association of Northwestern University is a firmly-established, well-organ- ized and self-sustaining body is due chiefly to the clear-headed foresight and business methods of its former President, Mr. James H. Ra3-mond, ' 71. The association is a legally organized corporation under the laws of Illinois, and the govern- ment is vested in the following bodies : first, the general association, to which all graduates are admitted on the pa3-ment of ten dollars ; second, the Board of Directors, nine members, elected for a term of three j ' ears each, responsible to the general association and charged with its powers. It also elects the officers of the association. The members of the board are : John M. Dandy, ' 73; Harriet A. Kimball, ' 83; George P. Merrick, ' 84; James T. Hatfield, ' 83; Frank M. Bristol ' 77; Ada Townsend, ' 89; Mary L. Bennett, ' 91; R. H. Pooley, ' 82; W. H. Little, ' 88; third, the executive committee of five members, responsible to the board of directors, and exercising the powers of the association. The members of this committee are : F. M. Bristol, president; J. T. Hatfield, secretary; W. H. Little, treasurer of the association; G. P. Merrick, and Harriet A. Kimball. Lodilla Ambrose, ' 87, is historian. The association is repre.sented in the general Alunnii Council of Northwestern University bv Bessie B. Helmer, 80, N. D. Davis, Jr., ' 80, and G. P. Merrick, ' 84. It usually nominates a University trustee in June. There is a membership of about five hundred, a goodly majority of the graduates having joined at each commencement, either by payment of ten dollars or by signing notes running for a term of years. Of the graduating class of ' 87, all but two members joined. It is to be regretted that for a 3-ear or two there has been a proportional falling off in regard to this matter. The association invests the membership dues in a permanent inviolable endowment fund, amounting now in cash securities to more than $3,000. The interest is devoted to bringing about pleasant reunions of graduates, and to other purposes; on one occasion an appropriation was made toward the grand stand; at another time the association undertook the publication of a valuable list of all the graduates of the institution. Various distinguished speakers have been brought to Evan.ston through the same agenc}-; notabh-, in June, 1895, Governor William McKinley, who addressed the association on Education. The members of the same bod - maintain a foreign fellowship for graduate students, which movement is due to the zeal and energj- of Mrs. Bessie B. Helmer. The present holder of the .same, Mr. D. J. Holmes, ' 95, is engaged in cla.ssical .studies in Italy and Greece. On March 13, 1896, the association gave a mid-year banquet at the Union League Club, Chicago, to the graduates, trustees, faculty and seniors of the College of Liberal Arts. More than one hundred were pre.sent, and the occasion was made enjo3able by an excellent dinner, toasts, music b3- the glee club, and general sociabilit3-.

Burt G. B. Street Cennis Not until the present college year has tennis taken its proper place in athletics at Northwestern. The reasons for this are obvious. Previous to the spring of 1S95 there were no courts worthy of the name on the campus, and this alone is a sufficient reason for the lack of interest in this most beneficial exercise. In 1890 a tennis club was formed independent of the Athletic Association. This club was organized for the purpose of increasing the intere.st in tennis, but there were difficulties in the way. The members of the club were refused the use of the courts — such courts as they were — on the lower campus. They immediately petitioned the University authorities for some other place on the campus where they might build courts of their own, but the trustees, at the time, could not see fit to grant any such request. The club, however, still held together, until the reorganization of athletics at Northwestern, when it became a part of the Athletic Association. Those interested then felt that they had as valid a claim on the attention of the authorities as any other part of the association, and they began more eagerly to press their suit, but for a time, with no visible effect. In the meantime, through the kindness of the Country Club and of the managers of the Ridge courts, the .semi-annual tournaments were held, and this alone kept alive the interest in tennis. But during the winter of ' 94 and ' 95 the trustees of the University offered the use of the lot just north of the Orrington Lunt library to the tennis as.sociation. The interest in tennis innnediatelx- began to grow, and a manager of the tennis associa- tion was selected with the express purpose that he should canva.ss the student-body for funds with which to build courts. The result is that with three courts at the disposal of the associa- tion, so great an interest is manifested that already new courts are needed. For the coming season two tennis teams, one composed of ladies and one of gentlemen, will play matches with surrounding colleges. Cuts of the last j-ear ' s teams, made up of the best jjlayers in the tournaments, accompany this sketch. It is ex])ected that the prospect of obtain- ing a place u])oii the team will develo]) a great interest in tennis at Northwestern. 1 .1- , ..,- ' . ■. .

LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Uni()er$ity Day Contrary to the general order of University Da -s since faculty management has been in vogue, the celebration held Thursdaj-, October 31, 1S95, was very successful in accomplishing the object for which the day was set apart, namely, that of impressing upon all students the real greatness of our Alma Mater, and of developing I ' niversity spirit. The day was not marked, as it has been in other years, by any misunderstanding between the faculty- and college students; there was no unfriendly class scrap; the usual long speeches were superseded by a single well-timed address; and, above all, there was a larger attendance than on anj- previous University Day. Six hundred students were in line Friday, October 26, 1S94, and over sixteen hundred in the march this year. The line of march from the station to the First Methodist Church was ceitainly impres- sive. The yells, the colors, the Senior dignity, the Junior .streamers, the Sophomore umbrellas, the Freshman cannon, the effervescent Medics, the warlike Laws, the amalgamated Dental and Pharmacy association, the beautiful and aggressive Women Medics, the Bibs and the doughty Preps, all joined in the .spirited rivalry between classes and departments, while the length and beauty of the procession demonstrated that Northwestern is a great University, and well worthy the loyalty of every student. The exercises at the church were ideal. Rev. Frank Bristol, ' 77, offered prayer, after which President Rogers gave briefly some facts and statistics regarding the Universitj-. The address of the day was given by Dr. F. W. Gun.saulus, president of Armour Institute. It was simple and forcible, his closing sentence expres.sing the point of his entire address — Conscience only is the test of culture, and through it man must ri.se to his inheritance as a sou of God and partake of the broader life offered him through a christian education. The annual football game at three o ' clock with the Ru.sh- Lake Forest team resulted in a victory for the .sturdy North- western boys, who were then swee])ing everything before them. Score. 24 to o. The most exciting event of the day was the cane rush among the .students of the professional departments. The con- test was entirely friendly, and honors were about even. The college men and the police contenteil them.selves with watching the fun. University Daj-, 1H95, was indeed of sufficient attraction to draw the great body of students together, and therein was its success. ■' . - €la$$ Day of 9S HE Seniors are always perplexed as to what thej ' shall present to the admiring public on Class Day. Sometimes they try to be funny, and it is rumored that one class was successful even in this. The class of ' 94 ventured to appear in an original tragedy, which consisted of ten acts of ten scenes each. To make the occasion more exciting, the weather man kept an extra furnace in operation, which, combined with the excitement of the occasion, succeeded in making every one uncomfortable, with the exception of those who, during the inter- mission, frequented Garwood ' s. The class of ' 95 tried not to be tragic nor funny, but simply to be jolly and natural, and to present the humorous side of college life. If you had been there and seen the play you might have supposed that ' ' Prexy ' ' was pompous and unsympathetic; that J. Scott was given to stale jokes; that John H. had been to Harvard; that Ramsey had made quite a rake-off in Athletic finances; that Grif had been to Ann Arbor — in fact, it was a very perplexing program from start to finish. The audience never knew what was coming next, and those back of the scenes were often in the same predicament. The friends and relations had come to the hall expecting to see dignified Seniors, but when the curtain was raised, disclosing a noisy, rollicking group of boys and girls, the whole room seemed to join in the sport. Old .school days were recalled. Tommy played his tricks, Annie cried, the teacher scolded, but the noise continued. The big girls looked pretty in their short dresses and white aprons: the big boys knew it, and made love accordingly. The entire program was a success, simply because nothing grand or startling was attempted, but life was represented just as it is from the country school to the University. Andrew E. Puckrin Harry F.

Under the title of the Conservatory of Music, Prof. Oren E. Locke took charge in 1878 and continued at the head until 1891. In the fall of 1891, Prof P. C. Lutkin, the present Dean, assumed control and it was continued for one year under the same title. In 1892 the school was reorganized on a more comprehensive and thorough basis as the Department of Music of the College of Liberal Arts. During the next three years the growth and development of the department were so marked that it was changed to a distinct School of the University at the last annual meeting of the Board of Trustees. Under the present management the school has grown from an attendance of 90 in 1891-92 to over 200 in 1894-95, and its future is very promi-sing. It offers courses in both the theoretical and practical study of music, including the piano, organ, singing, harmony, counterpoint, composition, and the various orchestral instruments. The courses are four in number and are as follows: I. Course for Amateurs. II. Two Years Normal or Teachers ' Course. III. Artists ' Course. IV. Four Years Course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Music. The theoretical courses are especially thorough, fully twice as much time being given to them as is usuallj ' the case. These courses are electives in the College of Liberal Arts and give a total credit of twenty-seven hours. The Dean is assisted by very efficient facultj notably, Mr. Karleton Hackett, a well known authority in singing; Mrs. George A. Coe, a thoroughly schooled pianiste from the Royal High School of Music in Berlin, and Mr. Harold E. Knapp, who has built up the violin department into vigorous activity. The school offers opportunities in the hearing of chamber music, oratorios, and orchestral music that are equaled by but few schools in the country. The University String Quartette, assisted by various mem- bers of the faculty, gives monthly recitals of the highest class of chamber music. The Evanston Musical Club, composed of townspeople and students, gives two oratorios and two part-song concerts each year of the highest degree of excellence. The University Orchestra of thirty members meets every week for rehearsal, and is capable of playing overtures and symphonies in creditable style.

Al- ready the school has passed through its hour of trial and silence. It has entered the great battlefield of competition, and has now a high, if not the highest rank among the schools of its kind. For many years the students of orator ' met in the College of Liberal Arts, and thus the number of those who could be accommodated was limited. Owing to this fact, to the exacting requirements for admis.sion, and to the standard of excellence in reading and speaking, which demanded for graduation something more than the expenditure of a certain amount of time and money, the school has conferred diplomas on but little over a hundred pupils, and on but few post-graduate students. The graduates have thus had superior power to impress themselves upon the educa- tional world as truly artistic speakers and readers, and they have not only won favorable recognition for themselves but they have also aided in the enlarge- ment of the school. Two years ago the demand for admission was so great that a new building seemed to be necessary. Accordingly, Prof. Cumnock obtained a site on the Universit}- campus, and then assumed the entire responsibility of raising the funds for this purpose. His enthusiastic efforts resulted in the erec- tion of Annie May Swift Hall. Among the oaks and elms that border the lake shore, and just northeast of the College of Liberal Arts stands this beautiful new building. The basement is of rock-faced Lemont limestone, while the upper stories are of buff -colored Roman brick and terra cotta, surmounted with a red tile roof, and designed after the Venetian style of architecture. On the south is the main entrance, that opens into a broad corridor, from which one ascends the stairs to the rooms for private in.struction, descends to the well equippe d Gymnasium, or enters the Reception room, the Library, or the Auditorium, one of the finest rooms in any of the University buildings. The floor of the Auditoriimi slopes gradually toan elevated stage. No pillars obstruct the view, and thus, four hundred spectators have no difficulty in seeing the speaker. By the use of rolling partitions, the seating capacity may be increased to five hun- dred. The building is well ventilated, heated by steam and lighted by gas and electricity. This is but a brief description of the Hall where over five hundred students are instructed in Physical Culture, Knglisli Literature and Oratory — the only building in the world designed an l used especially for the .study of elocution, the only School of Oratory under the fostering care of a great L ' niversity. These advantages, together with the instruction emanating from a corps of teachers, each of marked ability in his line of work, cannot but ju.stify us in according to the Cumnock School of Oratory a very high rank, with the prospect of becoming unequaled by any .school of its kind in the world.

I. N. Danforth, Dean of the University Woman ' s Medical School, is too well known in medical and educational circles to require introduction here. As a specialist his reputa- tion is not limited to our own country, but he is a well known authority abroad also. He is a teacher of wide reputation and, like every true teacher, enjo s his work. In the lecture room he is genial and kindly; when he chances to quiz it is not to extract, for inspection and criticism, the knowledge a student may have of a subject, but to bring out and emphasize such points as will be of practical service to the student. He has, too, a delightful habit of giving personal reminiscences of the great men of the profession whom he has known at home and abroad, investing their names with a reality and living personality most interesting to the student. As Dean he takes a personal interest in each member of the school, learning the names and faces readily and remembering them, too. Whenever the members of his sex are included among the guests at the various school festivities, his welcome presence gives completeness and added dignity to the occasion. In every way he identifies himself with the school, laboring earnestly and successfully for its interests, intellectually, socially and morally. The Secretary of the laculty is I ' rof. Marie J. Mergler. Having been graduated from this school while it was still struggling for recognition and having been .so intimately connected with it always, her successful jirofessional life really seems a part of the history of the school. What she has acconipHshed, the enviable reputation she has made, both with the profession and the public, mean more, are of greater value, to the students of this school than similar success attained by men in medicine possibly could. Even though she is a very busy woman, with her large private practice and extensive hospital connections, she devotes much time to the school. Besides her work as secretary and her didactic lectures, she has the direct personal oversight of every patient in the large clinic which she holds at the college. And although she is a woman who can check an undue familiarity or unwarranted liberty with actual sternness if necessary, to the patients in her clinic she isrgentle and considerate always. Every woman, no matter how poor or how ignorant she may be, receives the same courtesy and gentle care that would be accorded to the most influential private patient. Interested in all professional progress, an earnest student and original investigator in her special line of work, always ready to help those who are striving for better thii gs, she may well stand as a type of the woman physician of the present day. Prof. E. Fletcher Ingalls, whose high standing and fine executive ability are so well known and thoroughly appreciated by the medical profession that he is kept constantly in office and on important committees in the various medical associations of the city, state and nation, is called upon still further for the exercise of his business ability as Secretary of Rush Medical College and Treasurer of the Woman ' s Medical School of Northwestern University. With his extensive practice, teaching, hospital work and multifarious other duties, it has become neces- sar}- for him to so systematize his work and parcel out his time that his name has now become a synonym, to all who know him, for punctuality and punctilious exactness. Added to his other duties are those of a successful author, his comprehensive work on Diseases of the Chest and Throat being recognized as standard authority throughout the medical profession every where. Since the chair formerly occu- pied by him in this school is now filled b} ' his partner. Prof. John E. Rhodes, his face is not as familiar to the students as his signature, which they recognize as the sine qua von of validity of passports to lectures, laboratories and class-rooms. Dr. Vida A. Latham, an Englishwoman by birth and education, comes of a family of well known physicians and has been surrounded alwajs by an atmosphere of medical learning. Having studied at Cam- bridge and also w ' orked in the laboratories of London and Manchester, she has had exceptional advantages. Coming to this country, she studied at the University of Michigan, from which she received a degree, and also received a degree from the school with which she is now connected. She is an expert pathol- ogist and a very fine microscopist, being often called upon by prominent manufac- turers for suggestions as to improvements in their various instruments. She has a right to more handles to her name than one small woman can well use, being M. D., D. D. S. and F. R. S. M. She fills the office of Assistant Secretary and has charge of the laboratory and microscopical work in Histology and Pathology, making her one of the hardest working teachers in this school. s . €arle memorial Cibrary ® ' |UR Reference Library was founded by the class of ' 94 in remembrance of Dean Charles Warrington Earle, who, for over twenty years, has been identified with the school as Professor of Physiology, Obstetrics, Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine and Pediatrics. To Elizabeth H. Dunn is due the credit of originating this much-needed feature of our college, and from a humble beginning we have now a collection of over two hundred valuable medical books. Among the gifts to the library are over eighty volumes presented by Mrs. Earle from Professor Earle ' s own extensive library, valuable works from members of the faculty and alumni and the class of ' 95, while the current medical literature is represented by over twenty publications. V. m. €. K President Secretary Christina Mackenzie Elva E. Fleming p HE organization which has done more than any other to maintain the high standard of m morality at the Woman ' s Medical School is the Young Woman ' s Christian Association. Although our intellectual duties monopolize the greater part of our time, we are still glad of an opportunit}- to .spend a few hours each week in Christian conference. Since its organization here, the uplifting influence of the Young Woman ' s Christian Association has been felt throughout the entire school. Membership is not conditioned upon intellectual attainments, nor upon the wealth and social position in the school, but all our new students are made to feel a cordial welcome as soon as they enter upon their studies. Nor is this spirit of friendliness and interest toward our associates and toward all mankind lessened by the contending ' interests of student life. Our meetings and our discussions as to how we may be of some benefit to suflfering humanity has not only strengthened our own faith, but it has helped to supply a bond of sympathy which has taught us more truly the nature of the Christ. LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS College €v)ent$ Settlor Spread HE close of every school year, is the time when the compassionate underclass girls take pity on the poor seniors, and rally round them to keep up their spirits through the awful suspense of waiting for returns, which are brought to the college at the fateful hour of midnight by the college clerk. ■y Last year the following program was rendered (May 28, 1895) with credit to the participants and pleasure to the favored few who were present: Progratti Piano Solo. Performance by Billy Rice ' s Minstrels. Violin Solo. Shadow Pantomime — Cannibal and Skeleton. Dance — Spanish Fandango. Violin Solo. - sculapia — An original play in three acts. Piano Solo — A Strauss Waltz. Refreshments — Toasts and Responses. May C. Rice, President of the Evening. The second week of school, there was the usual welcoming reception given by the old students to those entering this year, who were glad to learn that girls studying medicine are just like girls studying music, art or anything else, enjoying a laugh and a pretty evening waist fully as much as they appreciate the wonders of a beautifully colored microscopic specimen. Early in December, Professor Mergler was greeted in the class-room with an enthusiastic college yell, and was presented with an elegant bunch of yellow chrysanthemums in congratulation for the honor she and the college received on her appointment to the position of Surgeon-in-Chief to the Marj ' Thompson Hospital for Women and Children. The sophomore-freshman at home was the .social event of the year. The beautifully decorated rooms formed a fitting background for the elegant gowns and stately dames, who, after a short, well-rendered program, escorted their lady and gentleman friends to the faculty room, where tea was served, and toasts were given by members of the faculty and friends of the school.

I recommend it to you unreservedly. There is a food known as Pettijohn ' s, named for the man who first made it. Now, if my name was Pettijohn, and I were a lady, I ' d change it for that of the first man who asked me ; but if I were a man, I ' d marry and take the lady ' s name, or petition the legislature to change it. Should all this fail, I ' d tie myself to the name and sink it to the bottom of Lake Michigan, such an abom- inable, outlandi.sh, heathenish, unheard-of, non-euphonious, hara.ssing, barbarous name it i.s.

( Use of flexor for five minutes without results.) Really, ladies, this is quite a remarkable case; the physical findings are most unique. Patient (grinning) — That ' s all right, Doc- tor; that ' s my wooden leg. Prof. — Miss L., how would you treat a case of oscites ? Miss L. (unhesitatingly) — I should in- troduce a trochanter and aspirate. Prof. C — How would you confirm 30ur diagnosis in a case of suspected malaria ? Student ( promptly) — I should stab the patient and examine his blood.

Extract from tbe medical School Calendar Tn the ' H Syllabus March 8. The Seniors and Juniors take the hen-medics to Dunning. Shades of Ananias and Sapphira rejoice and disport yourselves for joy! Verily the prin- ciple for which j ou were laid low lives and flourishes among the students at the Medical .School on the South Side. They took us forsooth ! We would modestly suggest, if we might be permitted, the establishment of a chair of Ethics and Etiquette in the afore-mentioned institution of medical lore on Dearborn, near Twenty-fourth street. With didactic instruction, supplemented by dailj ' clinics, in which the students might gain a practical knowledge of the subjects of the chair, we think the indications for treatment might be met in what seems, in our humble opinion, to be a severe case of acquired Macrocephalus.

And when the task was almost done She came to him one day, And after they had talked awhile Back in the chair she lay.

And well he did his duty, In order that the maid might have A mouth of classic beauty. Straightway, fast through her learned brain Shot thoughts of carcinomas. Of dermoid cysts, meningoceles.

Henry Booth became its Dean. The school first appeared as the law department of the first and now defunct University of Chicago, but in 1873 it passed under the joint management of Northwestern and Chicago Universities and took the name Union College of Law. By this name it was known to the profes.sion all over the west. In 18S6 the then University of Chicago ended its active existence, and the sole control of Northwestern University was, in 1891, signalized bj ' the transfer of its name to the Law School. The continuity and integrity of the school through all this time is, however, seen in the fact that for thirty years Hon. Henry Booth remained its Dean. In 1890, when the various departments of the University were consolidated under President Rogers, the school was in part reorganized, and at the present time the attendance is larger than at any time in its history (except in 1891-2, when a night school was temporarily added). Hon. Harvey B. Hurd is now the only instructor who has been connected with the school through all its stages of existence, his appointment dating from 1S63. He was one of the founders of Evanston and assisted in selecting the present University site. His name is among the leading ones of the Illinois bar; and in recognition of his literarj ' work as editor of the Illinois Statutes, of his legislative work for the reform of our system of land- transfer , and of his thirty years of service to the Law School, and his early connection with the University, he was, in 1895, given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by the University. One of the chief features of the Law School is its cosmopolitan character. Its instructors represent the States of Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Mississippi, Ohio and California; and its students represent twenty-two different states, including the extreme north, east, south and west of the country. More than one-third of the students have received a college educa- tion, a proportion exceeded by only three or four schools out of the eighty that exist, and the greater this proportion, the better able is the school to attempt a high grade of work, and to give such a training as the needs of the profession demand. The first and constant aim of the school is good work, and this purpose it puts before all others. It asks the student to give the school his whole time and his best efforts; and it attempts to offer him in return a thorough scientific and practical training that will fit him to occup}- ultimately such a place in his profession as every ambitious young lawj-er looks forward to. In these features of a cosmopolitan and hard-working student body, and of a thorough and scientific training, the school believes itself to stand among the first three or four of the country-.

A. of Chicago. The paid-up membership to April I, 1896, was twenty, divided almost equally between the active and associate members. Any student, regardless of religious belief, maj ' become an associate member, but the active mem- bership is restricted to members of evangelical churches. Being affiliated with the general Chicago association, the Law vSchool department offers to its members, at greatly reduced rates, all the benefits of the new and magnificent central Y. M. C. A. building at 153 La Salle street. The gymnasium of the Central Department is one of the finest in the city, the privileges of which, together with the baths (including natatorium), bowling alleys, tennis court, bicycle storage room, special educational classes, and star course of lectures and enter- tainments, are at the disposal of the members. No organized christian work had been carried on at the Law School until last fall, although, during the previous two years, devotional meetings were occasionally held, and the school was represented on the committee of management of the Inter-collegiate Department. Last November it was decided to carrj ' on regular religious work in addition to presenting the material advantages offered by the association, and, accordingly, on Friday of the Week of Prayer, the first devotional meeting was held in the lecture room at the close of the class hour, 11:45 • - i- Professor Blewett Lee was the leader. His choice of subject was very appropriate, and the members determined to be obedient to the vision presented to them, and the meet- ings have been kept up ever since. The average attendance at the close of the winter term was fifteen. A Bible Class has also been organized among a few of the students living on the West Side. Mr. Deets, ' 96, attended the State Convention at Evanston last fall, and the November Conference of the Inter-collegiate Department of Chicago, and the association has been much benefited through his exjierience and energy. The encouraging and hopeful presence of the department secretary, Mr. Loiiis Hieb, has contributed very largely to the success of the work here. In March, the officers for the coming year were elected. The association expects to be represented at the Lake Geneva Summer Conference, and will be ready next fall to carry on a more aggressive work among the new students.

' ARVEY B. HURD was born in Huntington, Conn., February 14, 1828. In 1844 he came to Illinois, and in 1846 to Chicago. For many years he has been a resident of Evanston. He began life, like Benjamin F ' ranklin, as a printer, and when he first came to Chicago was a com- positor on the Chicago Evening Journal. Like many others who came to Chicago in its early days, he has prospered with the prosperity of the city in whose growth he had confidence so long ago. During the period of the memorable contest between freedom and slavery in Kansas, Mr. Hurd was secretary of the National Kansas Committee, an organization which repre- sented those who were attempting to keep slavery out of that state. Mr. Hurd has been actively connected with the legal profession for many years. In April, 1869, he was appointed by Governor Palmer chairman of a commission to revise the general statutes of Illinois. The burden of the work of revision fell upon Mr. Hurd. His work was completed and the revision adopted by the legislature in April, 1874. He was appointed by the Twenty- eighth General Assembly to compile, edit and supervise the publication of the revision. This work he completed the first of September, 1874. Mr. Hurd was for several years head of the Committee on Law Reform of the Illinois State Bar Association. In 1875 he was a candidate for judge of the Supreme Court of Illinois, but was defeated. In 1891 a commission was appointed to report upon the question of modifying the present system of recording convey- ances, of which commission Mr. Hurd was chairman. This commission recommended the passage of the bill drawn by Mr. Hurd and embodying substantially what is known as the Torrens .system of transferring titles. This bill became a law in this .state in 1895. By the terms of the bill each county is allowed to vote for its adoption, and the law is to be enforced only in such counties as may adopt it. The law was adopted in Cook county in November, ' 95. by an overwhelming majority, and is now in operation. Mr. Hurd was instructor in the Law School from 1863 to 1869. He was again appointed instructor in 1876, and has retained his connection with the school .since that time. He is the senior member of the present faculty, and the only one, with the exception of the President, who was connected with the faculty before the fall of 1892, when the .school was reorganized. Professor Hurd teaches courses in Common Law Pleading, lujuity Pleading, Illinois Statutes and Criminal Law. In 1895 his merits as a teacher and as a lawyer were recognized by the act of the Tru.stees of North- western I ' niver.sity in conferring upon him the degree of Doctor of Laws.

I make this statement, not for your consideration, but diagnostically, for your acceptance. Few men could make the above statement without subject- ing themselves to just ridicule. It did not sound strange, nor even out of place, when uttered sturdily by Professor Jaggard. Nearly all who came in contact with him, recog nized his exact knowledge and accepted his interpretation of the subjects which he studied, taught, and discussed; his opponents respected, if they did not always accept, his conclusions. Self-reliance; untiring, well-directed energy; a conscien- tious fearlessness in the discharge of a recognized duty, and an ambition to excell in his life ' s work were some of the stronger characteristics of the man. He lived but a few years, but what a harvest he had garnered, ready at his hand to be distributed to the world through his colleagues. A few added years of life would have made us richer, and would have given him a reputation enduring as time. He had but few intimate friends, because he was a student with no time for the pleasures of the social world. To the few he was cordial, open-handed, and true; ready to aid by voice, hand or purse. His friends respected, honored and loved him. Farewell, Jaggard! I am glad to have known thee, to have learned from thee, to have felt thy friendship. Thy memory shall remain with us forever.

The class of ' 96 is passing — passing from the mystic possibihties of college existence into the stern realities of professional life. It is but natural that we should pause at the portal, and cast one long, lingering, farewell glance of retrospection toward those halls from which we are about to take our departure to enter a broader domain of usefulness. And, as we look backward, our memory will call into review each incident which has helped form the train of events that have occurred in the course of our four years ' service as medical students. The class of ' 96 is an average one in all respects, presenting every gradation in personality from the grave Schofield to the gay Gillette; from the sublime Zimmerman to the ridiculous Ik. Horn. In its ranks also are to be found the mediocre and the genius, while side by side sit the ' ' Cribber ' ' and the Paragon of Honest}-. In the matter of conduct the class has again adhered to this peculiar tendency to strike an average, reached, in this instance, by being a good deal better on some days than it need be, and a good deal worse on others than it should be. The class was early initiated into the mysteries of that time-honored cu.stom known as passing vip, to which was added, during its second year ' s existence, another known as passing out. For further information inquire of Heywood, Stebbins, Fowler, et al. In reviewing the road o ' er which we have traveled, it is fitting that attention be called to a few of the roses we have plucked by the way, and, incidentally, to the thorns which accom- panied them. Among the former may be recounted the examination given by Prof. Frank Andrews, and, by its side, the one not given by Prof. Long. The clinics held by Prof. Hatfield and the stories recited by Prof. Jones (vintage ' 49) have each done their share towards lighten- ing the toil along the way; and surely no one among our number can be so ungrateful as to forget that original idea advanced by Todd to explain the precocity of the city maiden as com- pared with the rural article. It speaks well for the thorns, in that .so few are remembered. But the slaughter of the innocents by Prof. Gradle will easily be recalled by more than one poor unfortunate. There is also another thorn by which the writer was himself pricked, when, with Kreshiiien to right of them, And Freshmen to left of them, Into the Valley of Death, Into the jaws of the Farmers, Charged the Immortal Six. But the chief charm as.sociated with the days that are gone is the reflection that the path- wa - has not been all roses, nor yet, all thorns ; and not one of us will turn from viewing the footprints we have left on the sands of time without shedding a secret tear for sweet mem- ory ' s sake. As we pass from the realms of theory into the realities of practice, we begin to speculate on what the future has in store for us ; and as we each apply our eye to the kaleidoscope of our future careers, a different scene unfolds, j-et common in one picture presented, o ' er which is emblazoned the word, Success. The class of ' 96 bears the proud distinction of being the first four-year class turned out by the Northwestern University Medical School. We stand as representatives of higher education in the medical world. Let each of us, wherever our lot may be ca.st, .strive to maintain the dignity of our position, and by our honest efforts in behalf of rational medicine and of humanity, endeavor to reflect credit and honor upon those men who have so faithfully labored with us and for us, as well as upon the in- stitution which stands as our sponsor.

Pass Tt Up! RV. was a senior, and by assiduous shaving had raised a Vandyke beard ; by a much- prolonged lingering over weighty volumes he was on the highway ' to bald-headedness. Altogether he was a wise youth and had a so-called pull with the faculty. But one thing he needed. Day after day he came to lectures with his bright, shiny grip, the newness of which was dazzling to all underclassmen and a thorn in the flesh to the senior. Surely it would never do to start into practice with such a badge of inexperience. (Jne day, before lecture, a classmate .seized the grip and playfully tossed it down the amphitheatre. Back it came, hurtling along. Again it was thrown across the room, and ere long every senior was playing football with that alligator bag. They abused it, they tossed it on high so that it came down hard, they buffeted it about. And the senior? — smiled a grave, sweet smile. In that five minutes the grip had lived years, and it was returned to its owner, robbed of its glorious effulgence, but ])ossessed of a lifetime ' s experience. l ' )ndly did the wi.se senior press it to his breast as he nuuiiiured, Verily, now is success assured.

A TUBERCULAR JOINT H nocturne HK third year was unable to concentrate his thoughts upon medicine. He was uneasy and a trifle blue; besides, his thoughts insisted upon reverting to an anticipated call for the following evening. In despair he tossed the book aside, filled his pipe, and consolation came through the curling rings of smoke in the form of a reverie. Yes, he was nearing the completion of his course. In another year, M. D., with all its implied dignity, would be attached to his name. After that the deluge. His friends had told him of the physician ' s hard lot; he had been inspired bj- stories of starving doctors, the awful responsibility of human life impressed him; but under the soothing influence of ' ' Golden Scepter, ' ' these unpleasant thoughts soon vanished. Some one had sent him a newspaper clipping advising marriage for the young physician, and, Indeed, the subject was not strange to him. As a Freshman, the medical student becomes authority on pocket-cases; the Sophomore chooses his specialty ; the Senior finally decides upon his beard, previous similar attempts having been pathological. To the Junior belongs the more important consideration of the numerous virtues of his future companion. She must be talented and beautiful and sympathetic; nmst not think him cruel if he experiments on the dog, or wicked if he swears after a nine-mile ride to diagnose a hungry baby. Love and sympathy must be exciting causes. He recalls the two schools; the one of Schoepenhauer — the physical — where love is all essential; the other of Plato — the ideal, the intellectual, the beautiful. And h e agrees with Stahl, that a combination of Schcepenhauer, 40 per cent., and Plato, 60 per cent., would be specific in any possible resulting maladie de coeur. ' ' Figuratively, two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one — no mention of the confirmatory third ob.serv-er and stethoscope. The clipping advocated earl} ' marriage as soon as possible after graduation. Certainly not before. There were his married classmates, whose unkempt and hungry looks marked them as martyrs. At the clinic how serious he looked who had four children troubled in the same way, ' ' and surely a reprimand for tardiness at the quiz — cause, a sick child — was unpleasant. Much more to be envied was his unmarried colleague? Such an one visits home every fort- night and returns with all the symptoms of cardiac dilatation, while another finds a less distant cause for the same condition. Frequent .shopping expeditions to the city, on the part of a friend, mysteriously causes a preliminary period of exaltation in a third, with a resulting secondary degeneration in his bank account. Even the less fortunate (?) majority finds conso- lation in the oft-received, dainty missives. Surely marriage is a jjrojier thought. A physician ' s chief source of comfort is his home, ;jnd what in a home is more conducive to happiness than a congenial companion ? Then the third year rai.sed his pipe — in imaginary toast to her who, though perhaps yet unknown, was ever present with him. The Junior Vou Should Hear Preacher Hall luss. See Matter use a pony.

A junior was making a missing nerve out of some superfluous fascia, and a fresh- man was laboriously working out his part with all the inexpsrience of one handling his first scalpel. Is Mr. Thompson at this table? inquired a strange voice. The junior looked up and observed standing near him a pleasant-featured gentleman, of middle age, who appeared as if he might be a well-to-do druggist down home in the country. He understood at once, and answered by incising the air with his knife in the direction of the right lower, then continuing a mental tirade against a fat stiff. The stranger looked the way of the knife- thrust; then suddenly poked the freshman with his umbrella. The youth turned. It was a clear case of his father ' s son, and their hands met in the strong clasp of kinship, regardless of the fact that the son had just been engaged in what the unknowing call butchering a man. Well, you see I ' m right at it, said Thompson, Jr., after the first greetings. Yes, I was looking all about for you, and, noticing the dissecting room, was much surprised at the general respectability. Don ' t see any blood or gore running about loose. What do you do with it all ? Don ' t know; never saw any myself, replied the son. But I like the work immensely. So? Weren ' t you sick at first? Not a bit. Are you? Well, I must say that never occurred to me, responded pater, and they strolled off. Thus the laity are imbued with peculiar ideas regarding the dissecting room in particular and medical institutions in general; ideas which are uncalled for and unreasonable. Many put up their hands in horror and beg you not to mention such nasty subjects. They regard us as one stage below murderers, and have a vague idea that we rob graves. They wonder that we are not hainited at night, and know that their sensitive natures could never endure even the sight of a dissecting room. But let a truly shocking spectacle occur before the public gaze, and you will find flocks of these same sensitive natures satisfying to the full their morbidity. People think these thoughts because they do not know the facts in the case. They cannot understand that less blood is shed in a dissection than in a chicken fight. The prejudiced discourse at length upon the .sacrilege of cutting to pieces the remains of human beings, but they know not that cutting to ])ieces is a violation of the first principles of dissecting. The word has quite a different meaning. They insist that, to dissect, the student must be hard-hearted, regardless of the fact that the study of medicine must inevitably bring out and cultivate human sympathy. Moreover, many indivitluals would never, no never, permit their friends to be consigned even to an operating table; but they will give these same friends an elaborate, soul-harrowing funeral of sixly-seven carriages, to say nothing of the hearse, and then slick them into a hole in the ground. ]?ul ble.ss you, we do not want you or your friends.

A necrotic, full-feasted Lucullus, dead from nervous prostration, would better become our pathological de])artment. There we would fix him, microtome hini- enlomb him in Canada balsam; and his friends could microscojiicall}- magnify his virtues, while liis enemies likewi.se could point out all his faults. For such is human nature. The facts are that dissection is necessary to accurate and exact study, and one cannot work in a dissecting room with sentiment instead of a knife. The whole question cannot be discussed here, but to the mul- titude, the doubting Thomases, we say, Come and see. And you, from the outer world, do any of you fear the horrors of a burial alive? If so, resign your earthl} ' caskets to the dissecting table, and none of you will ever come to on this .side the Styx. Forsooth, you prefer this: Imperious Ctesar, dead and turned to clay. Might stop a hole to keep the wind away; O that that earth which kept the world in awe Should patch a wall to expel the winter ' s flaw! B Predisposing Cause H there was a little girl. And she had a little curl Right in the proper place; And when she was good. She was very, very good. But her golden hair was hanging down her face. Many men came to woo. But none of them would do. So she systematically cut them dead ; Finally she became passe. Then they always stayed away. And her little heart was broken till it bled.

His nicotine-yellow fingers wandered About the solitude of his pockets. A dark-brown moan rushed forth Like the invisible howl of a dying microbe. The Medic was broke Broken on the wheel — of roulette He had not the price, and I left him Swearing a sky-blue streak At his thread-bare credit. A MIS.SIONARV I-ROM WISCONSIN €la$$ of 99 K« I ' R history begins with October secoml, when two advance agents for a circus, three insurance agents, a minister, an editor, an acrobat, a poet, a faro-dealer, two gentlemen of leisure, about fifteen farmers, two gentlemen from Joliet, one grand opera singer, and a coal-heaver presented themselves as candidates for the Class of ' 99. And there were others. Class organization was effected in October through the strenuous efforts of Keogli, Good- win, Sissakia n and C O 2. Class meetings are held about every month, governed by Reed ' s rules of order as interpreted b} ' Czar Washburn. Our marvelous progress in the various laboratories is a natural result of the enthusiasm displayed by such a representative body. Startling results are sometimes obtained in the physiological laboratory, of which we cite these examj les : Fig. A — Showing effect of a Pharmic ' s pipe on Thompson. Fig. B — Price when called upon to recite in Anatomy. Fig. C — Leith at the prcspect of a |io, 000.00 practice and a brick house on the corner. Our chemistry work is equally interesting.

' Tel il Cbe Pre Rdamite E possessed a pair of cervical ribs, a peculiarity that, together with a re- markable height and a certain brilliant whiteness of the bones, distinguished him from the other skeletons in the dusty glass case. In showing visitors the curiosities in the museum, Lowell, the slight, almost bald-headed janitor, turning from the lines of strange things in bottles and the array of grew- some waxen models, would always expatiate upon this specimen. This man, he would say, cocking his head on one side, was a South Sea Islander. How did we get him ? He died of pneumonia during the Fair time, and he was turned over to us then. I discovered those cervical ribs ; the demonstrator never noticed them. Only pair in the country, I believe. Magnificent specimen, d ' ye know? Thus it may be pardoned if the under jaw of the pre-Adamite, as the students jocosely termed him, protruded its perfect row of gleaming teeth in a somewhat conscious manner. The first-year class in a short time became very well acquainted with the pre-Adamite. His appearance at the door leading from the prosector ' s room to the amphitheater was the signal for stopping the grand chorus of the Midway, Throwing the Rag, Passing Down, and other amusements, which, like the buffoonery between the acts of an old Spanish tragedy, served to relieve the strain of the preceding physiology lecture and, in a measure, fortify the class for the coming anatomy ' ' quiz. ' ' The reason for this was that the pre-Adamite was usually closely followed by the Professor of Anatomy, a straight, quick-glancing, sharp-featured man, whose brown beard formed a marked contrast to the premature gray of the hair above. Although good-natured, there was very little nonsense about this man. The Dreamer, who lounged at the upper part of the amphitheater, watched with envy the slight figure in the gray suit. Now at the center of the pit, bending over the thing on the turn-table, now turning to the black-board on the wall behind him, now holding out a limb of the pre-Adamite for illustration, the professor was continually moving, expounding, quizzing with what seemed a tireless enthusiasm. The pre-Adamite stood at the professor ' s right, just back of the turn-table. He became to the students as much a part of the lecture room as the semi-circular, red-cushioned benches that rose, diverging from the pen, as the Professor of Physiolog}- once called it, almost to the ceiling. The practical men saw in him a beautiful skeleton, well articulated, an invaluable aid in demonstrating nmscular attachment. The majority of these sat in the lower rows of seats, very erect and interested. Mr. Dreamer, the voice of the quick professor would interrupt, what are the attach- ments of the Supinator Brevis? Then Mr. Dreamer, very much confused, scrambling to an erect posture, would blurt out ever3 ' thing but what was right. The professor, according to his mood, would laughingly help him out or dismi.ss him with a curt, That will do, Mr. Dreamer. The students should have warned the professor when he placed the pre-Adamite too near tlie turn table. It was only when the professor, having dissected out a bit for demonstration, swung the table around that, too late, a shout arose from the class. The pre-Adamite fell with a crash of breaking bones upon the concrete floor. Tlie professor, with reddened cheeks slowly picked up the standard; but the pre-Adamite was broken beyond repair. Later, in the museum, Lowell almo.st wept over his idol. A perfect shame! he ejaculated, and the only pair of cervical ribs in the country, d ' ye know ! And the Dreamer acce])ted a fingiT bone for remembrance sake. J. M.

(Colors PURPLE AND PINK School of Pbarmacy HE career of the School of Pharmacy of Northwestern Universitj- has been one of remarkable success. Organized in the spring of 1886, and beginning its work of instruction on the first of October of that year with a class of sixty-two students, it has now an annual attendance of nearly four hundred. At first the only course of instruction offered by the School of Pharmacy was but little in advance of the customary- course of the majorit)- of the pharmaceutical colleges of this country, occupying two school sessions of five months each. The American colleges of pharmacy had almost without exception, up to that time, been conducted in such a manner as to allow the students to divide their time between drugstore employment and their courses of study, while, at the same time, the college courses, from matriculation to graduation, rarely exceeded two terms of five months each. The first task which the School of Pharmacy of Northwestern Universit} ' undertook to solve was to divorce wage-working from the courses of study, which was soon successfully accomplished. Now the whole attention of the cla.sses in our School of Pharmacy is occupied upon the courses of instruction for the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy, throughout the customarj- two terms of five months each. The next task which the school set for itself was the introduction of a longer course. This, too, has been accomplished. The more advanced course leads to the degree of Pharma- ceutical Chemist, and it occupies the student ' s whole time and a.ttention during two full academic years, aggregating about eighteen months. The shorter course, that leading to the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy, has not been dropped, but both courses are given. The reason for continuing the .shorter course is that it does not seem to be possible, at this time, to main- tain a full two years ' cour.se to the exclusion of any shorter course. This is .shown by the fact that out of the four thousand students of pharmacy annually attending the forty pharmaceutical colleges and .schools in the United States less than one hundred accomplish a more extended course than that given in the Scliool of Pharmacy of Northwestern Univer.sity for the degree of Graduale in Pharmacy. Several univer.sity schools in the United States are, however, at this lime offering courses occupying two full .school years, and although all of these schools together, including the School of Pharmacy of Northwestern University, graduate less than one hundred stu lents annually, there are rea.sons for the belief that the number will increase more rapidly in the future, and that, eventually, courses of .study com1)ined w ith drugstore emj)loyment, and courses occu])ying hut ten nK)nths, even when exclusively devoted to school work, may be discontinued. The School of Pharmacy of Northwestern University has a special faculty for its own work. It is therefore practicable to perfectly adapt all the courses of study to the special needs of students of pharmacy — a condition unattainable in all schools where the teachers instruct literary, medical, dental and other students simultaneously. The faculty includes twelve teachers and instructors. These professors have contributed materially to the educational literature of pharmacy, and several of their text-books are well known throughout the country. Our laboratories are superior to those of any other similar institution in number, capacity and equipment, and great importance is attached by the teachers to modern laboratory methods. With reference to the course for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist it may be said that the practice of pharmacy throughout the world is just now in a transition stage. Much of the technical work, which pharmacists did twenty years ago, is now done by manufacturers, and because of the loss of this technical professional work, the druggists have increased the commercial part of their business beyond the limits of pharmac} ' , taking in all kinds of mer- chandise. At the same time there has been remarkable progress in the practice of medicine and in sanitation, and this progress is intimately associated with laboratory investigations such as the practicing physician cannot perform, for want of facilities, time and special training. The course for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist in the School of Pharmacy of North- western University contemplates fitting the students for this kind of work ; and since the laboratory courses of training necessary for this puipose are practically the same that are also necessary in the training of public analysts, and of chemists engaged in chemical technology or as consulting chemists in many of the industries of the day, those who have completed the course for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist are prepared for much other work besides that of pharmacists and sanitary chemists. It is, of course, probable that for many years to come the work to be done by trained pharmaceutical chemists will greatly exceed the amount that can be accomplished by the comparatively small number turned out by the few pharma- ceutical schools which offer such extended courses. Those who complete such courses will not have to be idle. The number of pharmaceutical chemists who graduate from the schools re- ferred to will continue to be but a fraction of the number needed until the pharmacists them- selves awake to a full realization of what is expected of them. Oscar Oldberg. €! !$$ Of ' 96 HE Pharmacy class of ' 96, like its predecessors, has come and soon will go ; whither no one asks, no one cares. The one great theme of the present hour lies in the momentous question of passing the state board. Let us for the present lay this aside and find pleasure in the recollections of work just completed and anticipations of work to come. We number one hundred strong ; have among us representatives of many nations and states, and are bound together by one great, strong mutual desire. Although we are reputed to be the most noisome set ever admitted into the department, still this concession, that our records as a class are also predominant, stands prominently to our credit. How could it be otherwise ? Four chemical exercises per week, injected by no less a personage than Dr. Long, would be sufficient to stimulate and arouse the most stagnant to action. Digested, concocted, dissolved and precipitated so thoroughly at the hands of Dr- Oldberg, it would be difficult to think of any pharmaceutical problem which could not be answered by any or all of us. Rolled, twisted, emulsified and stamped as we were in the department of dispensing, our competency in this direction should be unlimited, especially when it is considered that in addition Professor Miner, with his distinguished lady and other assistants, held forth at a rate of not less than sixteen hours per week. Professor Higley insisted on the examination of the structure of the starch grains in the potato before he would allow us to eat this vegetable, while intercourse through influences of quizzes held by Pro- fessors Dains and Pagelsen were a sufficient reminder of everything we missed in the corre- sponding lectures. Surmise, then, our condition as we have thus day by day absorbed what we paid for. Now and then come the calls for more money, but as we bid the ten-dollar bills good-by we con.sole ourselves with the gratifying thought that we are Seniors. Alexander Sayre.

We are bound to rise in the estimation of our professors as long as we have Dough ( Dow) in our midst. O. J. Beeson, senior class president, would be a rather nice-looking man if it was not for the awfully exaggerated way in which he parts his hair. Prof. Long says that the reason he objects to cap and gown is that they remind hini of bloomers. Among the bright members of the school is one who spent his holiday vacation in an attempt at notoriety by holding the time for climbing the stairs of the twenty -one stories of the Masonic Temple. He claims his time is a little less than five minutes, and is ready to defend his honors against all competitors. Farnsworth is so bashful he is compelled to take chloroform ever}- time he sits for a photo. Consequently he has a horror of such things. John L- McRae is authority on Heat in Solid Extract of Nux Vomica. Prof. Patterson spends a great deal of his time in the pharmaceutical laboratory, and Miss Seaman, also.

Wrong-doing is always punished, sometimes after a time has elapsed, sometimes almost immediately, as in the case of Fox, when he tried to make away with a croton oil bean in the botanical laboratory. Byrud, what is the .boiling point of lard oil? The medics went around the depot in F vanston after the cane-rush singing : We got the canes, We got the canes. If they had told the whole storv they would have sung : We got the canes in the neck. We got the canes in the neck.

Professor mark Powers To be a friend of every conscientious student, a friend and most ardent upholder of everything truly scientific, in fact, a loving and beloved friend of the entire universe, such was the aim and effort of the man in honor of whom and in whose esteem t he students of Northwestern University School of Pliarmacy would insert this in memoriam. What could a man more desire to attain ? Within these accomplishments may be included all ties of love, happiness and humanitj- ; every- thing just, noble and pure ; in fact, all combined efforts and achievements of individuals. What more on earth ? Such was the desire of our esteemed professor who was quietly laid to rest on the first day of March, 1895. Prof. Mark Powers was born near Muncie, Indiana, November 13, 1S64. At the age of nine- teen we find him entered at the University of Illinois, from which institution he was graduated in June, 1S87. While at the university Professor Powers decidedly favored the .study of chemistry, and when, at the time of graduation with highest honors of his class, the Illinois College of Pharmacy needed an assistant in the chemical laboratories. Professor Powers was chosen to take the place. Here, really, his history begins and ends. Devoted entirely to those about him, unselfish perhaps to a fault, his entire time was given up in order to be of service to others. His sympathies and good wishes always with the troubled and oppressed, a firm believer in justice combined with mercy, we find in him the qualities of a thorough instructor. Kind and beneficent, of an irreproachable char- acter it was of necessity, that he became a favorite with all who had occasion to come in con- tact with him. Determined in mind, possessing unlimited energies, his proficiency as regards his professional career may be surmised. His work always trustworthy, conscientious toward the smallest detail in chemical manipulations, as accurate as a thorough knowledge would permit, his scientific accomplishments were to be envied. Patient, a man of trust, with an insatiable desire for knowledge, his career was most remarkable. His fate, however, was inevitable, for, several weeks before his illness, ca.ses of small-pox were reported to have been admitted into the school building, and being either directly or indirecth ' connected with the patients, he was soon stricken with the disease. May nothing but good ever be said of him, for were it not for men of his character and type, the expectation of finding anything desirable in this world would be in vain. His memory will long live in the hearts of those whom he befriended, and may the example of so moral and virtuous an existence be followed bv all who wish to be of service. mauricc Jlsbbcl miner PHYSICIAN whose Pairopean education made him impatient of all lack of thoroughness had occasion to prescribe for a lady tourist. The pre- scription required careful compounding, and after a vain attempt to secure it, he exclaimed: Send to Maurice Miner at Lake Geneva. He can do it ; he is the best chemist in the country. The sterling qualities of mind and character which gave Mr. Miner this local reputation, he brought to his work in the School of Pharmacy. Unassuming and modest, absorbed in his occupation, with high sense of honor, and conscien- tious to the last detail, his noble life has peculiarly endeared him to his students and associates. Mr. Miner was born at Twin Lakes, Wis., March 29, 1849. Lo.sing his father at an early age, and lacking robust health, he dropped his school work from time to time and began his career in a drug store while still a boy. His early education was acquired at Lake Geneva, where he passed his youth and early manhood; later he studied at Michigan University, taking the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist with the class of ' 7 r, and returning the following year to continue his work in higher chemistry and medicine. While at Ann Arbor he gained the respect and admiration of his professors by his scholarly attainments. After his return to Lake Geneva he was connected with a drug store for man}- years, and during this period of his life he constantly added to his knowledge. A scholar by temper- ament, a lover of fine literature and of the beautiful, he bent circumstances to his inclination, and every available hour was sacred to his improvement. A laboratory which he constructed at his home, made experiments possible, and the countr}- around Lake Geneva, rich in material dear to the heart of a botanist, gave him facilities for research along these lines. While at Lake Geneva the esteem of his fellow townsmen brought him the highest office within their power to bestow, but the need of a broader life and more ample opportunities for experience caused him to seek the Mecca of so many aspirants, and Chicago became his home in 1877. After a short period in the laboratory of Morrison Plummer, he became connected with the School of Pharmacy, which has since remained the field of his labors. In private life Mr. Miner exhibits the same rare and lovable traits which have brought him success in his material undertakings. Joy and sorrow have touched him more closely than most men, but these moving experiences have left him sweet to the core and open to all truth and beauty, and a large circle of appreciative friends hold him near and dear, realizing that likeCicero, he strives to make his enmities transient and his friendships eternal. s 15 LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS P ' Dental School 6.

Wolkrum LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Gamtt Biblical Institute C. (U. Cesemann n. 6. Bennett iife j 44j j j j .j jt 4i%i Dr. Eittle CARCELY a year has passed since the institute was bereft of its president, Dr. Ridgawaj-, the memory of whose saintly character and gracious presence still lingers as a hallowed benediction. To select a successor to such a man was a delicate and important task. The presidency of a theological seminar}- is a position requiring executive ability, kindly sympathy, acknowledged scholarship and broad experience, and it was fortunate that the trustees could find in their own faculty a man who embodies so very nearly all these qualifica- tions. Hence there was a general expression of satisfaction when it was announced that Dr. Charles Joseph Little, Professor of Historical Theology, had been chosen to perform the duties of president in addition to those in his regular department. During Dr. Ridgaway ' s illness Dr. Little had been acting president. During that time, and since his election to the presidency, he has shown executive ability of a high order. Ever manifesting kindness of heart and a desire to please, he still maintains a firm control of affairs. In him the students find a sympathetic and wise counsellor, no pressure of bu.siness preventing him from listening to the requests for advice or help. As a scholar. Dr. Little is acknowledged to be in the front rank. His early training at the University of Pennsylvania, the advantage of .several years of study in Berlin, which enabled him to come in contact with the greatest minds of the day in the world ' s intellectual center, and a lifetime of earnest, painstaking study have developed a man of strong natural ability into a broad and versatile scholar. As a thinker he is original, positive, productive. In his favorite line of study — history — he manifests the historian ' s bent for evidence as to facts. Never forming an opinion until this evidence has been carefully weighed, his conclu- sions are strong and positive. In connection with his work in history he has given much atten- tion to the careful study of the great systems of philosophy. Here he has not satisfied himself with a superficial inquiry into the tenets of the various schools of philosophj-, but has made a careful study of them in every detail. As a teacher Dr. Little has the faculty of enthusing the minds of his pupils with a desire for knowledge. Under his treatment dr} ' historical facts become full of interest. His habit of dropping pearls of thought at most unexpected moments banishes listlessness and inattention from his classes. His emphasis of the fact that he is teaching history soon makes the student afraid to juggle with facts, or to indulge in rhetoric rather than hi.story. In preaching, Dr. Little is strong and earnest, his sermons showing the effect of combined heart and brain power. He carries an intelligent a udience with him by the weight of his thought, the beauty of his diction and the intensity of his emotion. Naturally he has been prominent in church affairs. In 1884 he read a paper before the Baltimore Centennial Conference, which attracted wide attention on account of the original grouping of the facts of Methodist history and the impressive manner in which it was presented. He has served as delegate in two general conferences, in both of which he was a recognized leader. In 1890 he represented this country in the British and Irish conference in London. Dr. Little was born in Philadelphia in 1840; graduated from the University of Penn- sylvania at the age of twentj ' -one. After several years spent in preaching and in study in Berlin, he was elected Professor of History and Philosophy in Dickioson College in 1878. While there he served a term as Librarian of the State of Pennsylvania. After remaining seven years, he left Dickinson for Syracuse University to take the place of Dr. Bennett, who had resigned to accept the chair of Historical Theology at Garrett. Upon the death of Dr. Bennett, Dr. Little was again called upon to succeed him, coming to Evanston in 1891. Since that time he has made the work in his department one of the strong features of the institute. In the prime of life, with such a record, friends of Garrett may well expect that his administration will be one characterized by safe progress. MEMOKIAI, HALL Deering- Jackson Cibrary lURING the last two years gold has been flowing continually from our country into the vaults of the London banks, but occasionally an equiva lent — even more precious than gold — finds its way to us across the Atlantic. This was pre-eminently true when a certain steamer arrived at New York in May, 1895, carrying on board a consignment of books for Garrett Biblical Institute. These books comprised the Deering- Jackson Library, now the pride of G. B. I. When they had reached their destination they were deposited in the ' ' Wesley Room ' ' of Memorial Hall, and being the most complete collection of Methodist literature in the world, naturally form a center of attraction for students, professors and historians. This library contains 3,000 to 4,000 books and pamphlets and is divided into seven sections. The most prominent of these is Wes- leyana, the completeness of which would indeed be a surprise to John and Charles Wesley themselves. If those two brothers could visit it they would find there, first of all, every known publication of their songs in their original state and in each of the eighteen editions. Among them, Hymns to the Nativity of Our ' Lord, Hymns Occasioned by the Earthquake, March 8, 1750, and the very rare and almost priceless first edition of Songs as Sung by the Methodists, Set to Music, 1742. The people in those days were not afraid of high notes; in some of the tunes of this hymnal the melody is written as high as C altissimo. Then John Wesley would discover in this section all his prose writings in their original editions, from his first book, Forms of Prayer, published in 1733, to the last line of his journal. A glance at this collection of 140 books and pamphlets would forever deprive any one of the erroneous notion that Wesley was merely a religious enthusiast ; he was, truly, a broad scholar, the extent and versatility of whose writings is amaz.ing. On the same shelves with his sermons, journals, notes on the Bible, doctrinal tracts and controversial writings are found his English, German, Latin, Greek and Hebrew grammars, dictionary, Direction Concerning Pronunciation and Gesture, his various histories, abbreviations of Pope, Milton, and Bunyan, Primitive Physics, Natural Philosophy, Treatise on Electricity, etc. — a library of universal knowledge in itself ! The sainted hero might here also be reminded of many struggles of his life. Impartial hands have collected, in addition to his own works, the books and tracts written against him and the Methodists. Several of these now extremely rare polemics found in this library are worth $ 0 to $100 a copy. It seems almost preposterous that, besides numerous milder attacks, books entitled ' ' An Old Fox Tarred and Feathered, The Temple of Imposture, Perfec- tion : A Poetical Address Calmly Addressed to the Greatest Hypocrite in England, could have been written in the spirit of their titles against such a pure man as Wesley. On the frontispieces of the most virulent of those books the founder of Methodism is represented as the great Serpent, a Papist, a second Mohammed ; again he is caricatured as a braying ass, or a fox in priestly vesture. To-day these base accusations only add to his honor and throw light upon the moral and religious condition of England in his day. Weslej-ana also contains every known biography of the two brothers written by either friend or foe. Of special value is a copy of Tyerman ' s Life of John Wesley, extra illus- trated and enriched with engravings of places and rare portraits of prominent men and women, autograph letters and rare documents. Several of the portraits could not be duplicated anywhere. To make this section as complete as possible all the writinj s of Samuel Wesley, Jr., the brother of John and Charles, and the numerous works of Samuel Wesley, Sr., their father, have been added. Amonj the Vjooks of the latter ever ' visitor seems to notice his curious first production, Maggots or Poems on Several Subjects Never Before Handled, By a Scholar, 1683. On the frontispiece, under a long-faced engraving of the author, are these lines : In ' s own defense the author writes. Because when this foul niagxot 1 ' ites He cannot rest in quiet ; Which makes him make so long a face, He begs your worship or your grace, Unsight, unseen, to buy it. Another section of the library includes all the works pertaining to George Whitefield. An alcove is devoted to local histories of Methodism, relating the small beginnings, heroic struggles and splendid victories of the movement in every part of Great Britain. The fourth division embraces the products of the pen of Fletcher, Ben.son, Drew, Moore, Coke Adam Clark and other contemporaries of the Wesleys ; the fifth, the books of later Wesleyan preachers, and the sixth, a full set of all Methodist periodicals published in England. Finally, as an extra feature, making it still more valuable, this library has a complete collection of English Hymnology, comprising everything of value in the English language that has been produced in England from the earliest known time of hymn-writing to the present daj ' . It must be due to the proximity of these songs that in Garrett the ancient hymns, such as Luther ' s war song, A Mighty Fortress is Our God, are sung with the enthusiasm and zest of My Country, ' Tis of Thee. The work of collecting this library was begun more than a hundred years ago by a Wesleyan preacher, the grandfather of Mr. F. M. Jackson. It was continued by his son, and completed by his grandson, now a wealthy manufacturer of Stockport, England. In early business life Mr. Jackson traveled throughout England, and thus was enabled to pick up whatever was rare and valuable. He spent his leisure hours for many years in perfecting the collection, until it exceeded every other library of its kind in size and intrinsic value. It is surprising that the collector was willing to part with such a family treasure, gath- ered by three generations. When, however, Mr. Jackson decided to sell it and Mr. William Deering heard of the offer, an acceptance was promptly cabled. The price paid is held in secret. In this mercantile age it would, no doubt, help us to appreciate Mr. Deering ' s kindness if we knew the market value of the collection. Since, however, he is too modest to publish that, the use-value must determine the measure of our gratitude. This is apparent. The lilirary affords students in history an opportunity to make original investigation and furnishes all that is requisite either for a Life of Wesley or a History of Methodism. One thing more our thoughtful friend desires to procure for this library — namely, a Methodist Americana. We trust the plans for securing it will materialize in the near future. Already the Adams-Acton original clay model of the famous bronze medallion of John and Charles Wesley in the Poets ' Corner of Westminster Abbey has found its proper place in Garrett Biblical Institute. For surely nothing could be more fitting than that the school with the greatest Methodist library and the best collection of the works of its founders should also have in its Memorial Chapel, above all other names and memorials, the original model of the finest representation of the Wesleys in the world, that her students, studying in the Wesley Room these noble lives, and beholding in chapel the beauty of holiness in their faces, may be imbued with like virtues and powers ! Sermon HE following extract from a sermon was lately discovered in the archives of Heck Hall; it has all the evidences of genuineness and sincerity : Flee as a bird to your mountain ! Psalm XII: i. How varied are the works of God. Countless millions of bright, twinkling stars wander through the fields of heaven in bewildering maze. The mellow moonlight bathes the earth in chastened radience. The morning sun unveils his brightness, the night retires, and man rejoices in his golden beams. The clouds roll and gather in sublime niaje.sty over the sky, loaded with its thunderbold — and storm of snow or rane. Rut in a moment the whole scene will change all the farms of beauty and collar flash into existence, and disapeer as quick. The mother earth is clothed with such appearel as befits the season, while now and then, towering up in the distance, are the snow-capped moun- tans, a scarry crag b) ' ragged brooks, mighty canyons through which rush the playful waters on their course to the broad ocean. No part of mother earth is exempted from life in soil, in air, in water. Life abounds every whare. At the head of this wonderfull array is man, the monarch of all his surroundings below. But who has ever viewed nature without seeing, amid all its beaiities, a derangement found among all living things. It seems hard sometimes to believe that the same mind planned these, and that same hand executed them that produced the loviness and beaut}- appearent, and gave the capacity of enjoyment to man. To seek for a solution of this would be to end in a confusion. There are no wdngs to support reason in its flight from the sense, and no eye yet has been able to see into the relni of spirits. ■' ■' ■' ' •■' ■' ■•■' Ve are ourselves disorder in our very essential nature, the soul. And our desease has deranged the natural world. By the .sin of Adam death regns is the faithful record. Through Adam sin entered into this world, and death by sin. Since that offel day, sin has walked the earth hand in hand with death. What a contrast there is between the lively, chattering, restless, pretty bird and- a grim, broad, lofty, silent mountain ! It stands from age to age just the same, while countless tribes of short lived birds come and go. Poor soul, dashing and bruising yoiu- wings again.st your prison bars ; the darkness gathering round thee, and that dread foe who laughs at bolts and locks, and baffils skill and friend.ship ; who mounts a throne to imcrown a king, and descends into a ditch to .stab a beggar ; who robs a mother of her first-born, and drags down to dust the gray hairs of age ; whose name is death.

Competent critics say that he has created an absolutely new .school of organ playing — poetic, unique, original. He combines exquisite grace with a marvelous technique. In his programs Chopin and Sawin seem to delight him most. He brings out the muscular dra- matic side, and reveals all the masculine force, all the stirring scenes that are embodied in his selections. He so lovingly lingers over bars which have pathos in their melody, and so slightly accelerates his pace in rapid agitated movements, yet all .so naturally, so unobtrusively as to unconsciously calm or inspire all. There are no rules to Mr. Pade- readski ' s playing; he obeys un- written and unwritable things which alone constitute the soul of music, and the instinctive com- mand of which distinguishes a genius from a mere musician. His impromptu interludes are also worthy of note. This dis- tinguished organist remains here only one year more. These rare opportunities should be taken advantage of by all lovers of high art.

Teachers change. Last year it was Mr. Bishop; this year it is Mr. Nave, but the teacher is still here. It ' s the same way with — well, what shall I call it? One month it ' s a tadpole, next month it ' s a bullfrog. It ' s the same animal. But that ' s an example of progress or development. This change of teachers is not always progre.ss. Sometimes he ' s worse, sometimes he ' s better; that is, this variable teacher. But he is queer. We ' ll drop the question of his mortality. We all know he is queer, That ' s an axiom. You can ' t prove an axiom. You can illustrate it. I ' ll change that; jyow en illustrate it. I won ' t run the risk of the teacher ' s wrath. If you will turn to last year ' s Syllabus you will find pictures of teachers, and now and then a cut or grind which shows their peculiarities. They are here this year, but six of them have been metamorphosed. That is to say, while there is the same teaching to the same classes, six of the teachers have different names and look different and have different peculiarities. You will find a page near at hand beautified by their faces. I am asked to tell you something about these six teachers. It was a bad choice that gave me this task. However, in the classic language taught by the energetic Mr. Higgins, it will be about to be undergone by me as to the business. One of them is a lady. She is Mrs. Porter. She is eminently a successful teacher. She enjoys teaching and the students enjoy her teaching. She teaches English literature, and nearh every one in the Academy is in her classes. I had my English in high school, before I came here, so, unfortunateh , I am not in her class. Mrs. Porter was graduated at De Pauw in ' 79, and received Master ' s degree in ' 82. In ' g2- ' 93, she was a graduate student in English literature and English philology in Cornell, and the following year held a fellowship in the same department in the same university. Mr. Higgins is a prohibitionist. He has a brindle mustache and teaches Greek in the college and academy. He is a Brown, ' 84, man. He obtained a Master ' s degree in ' 89. He taught at different times Greek and history in the Connecticut Literary Institute, and Latin in Peddie Institute. The last two years he was a fellow in Latin and Greek in Cornell. Now we are learning the Anabasis and Iliad from him. I said he is a prohibitionist. In addition to this he is married. In this he is an object of envy to the other four. He has no need for hair tonic, and his politics wouldn ' t permit it if he had. Mr. Radford is an object of wonder. He is the personification of Latin. You can see it all over him. Moods and tenses are written in every motion. He is irregular, active, imperative, perfect, third, singular. That comes from his Greek training. He is not likely to become dual very soon — it will take him too long to propose. He was graduated at the University of Virginia jn ' 89. He was instructor in Latin and Greek and graduate .student in the University of Virginia till ' 93. Thence he went to Johns Hopkins, where he obtained the doctorate. Now he is accom- plishing the impossible here, by teaching the unteachable first-yeai student the unteachable first-year Latin. Mr. Keppel is a socialist. We have a marvelous faculty — two prohibitionists, a socialist, an anarchist, and one man engaged to be married ! The rest are mugwumps or republicans. Mr. Keppel is a mathematician. He hails from Hope College, class ' 89. After a period of instructing he was graduate student and fellow in Clark University, whence he will soon be dubbed Doctor of Philosophy. Here he teaches geometry. Mr. Keppel theorizes on four-dimensioned space. That is worse than socialism, or better than Roentgen rays. When Mr. Keppel gets fourfold space in tangible form you can get out of a tightly shut room with less difficulty than Andrews goes through a hole in the line. In spite of the cold, hard lines of his mathematical calling Mr. Keppel is warm hearted, and we all count on him as a true friend. Now I come to the scientist. He is Mr. Nickerson. He hails from Harvard, ' 90. After due effort as a graduate student and assistant in zoology, he obtained the Sc. D. degree from the same institution in ' 94. Last year he was acting professor in the University of Colorado. Now he teaches us the true innards of the pollywog. You wouldn ' t know it from the picture, but Mr. Nickerson rejoices in the beard and hair the novel-writer glories in. It is — an auburn. He is engaged. vr -A- Y ' ou can fill that out. I ' ll only add that she is an exceedingly accomplished woman and his equal as a scientist. Congratulations are in order. Last, but not least — that is in height — comes Mr. Nave. He was graduated at the Ohio Wesleyan last June. He is a prohibitionist in all weather. He teaches third-year Latin and beginning Greek. He is the youngest member of the faculty, and by Miss Smith is dubbed I.F. — Infans Facultatis. This fills the gap till he gets his Ph. D. To recapitulate : Two of the teachers are sandy of beard and hair — Messrs;. Higgins and Nickerson. Four wear glasses — Mrs. Porter, Mr. Radford, Mr Keppel and Mr. Nickerson. Three are short — Mrs. Porter, Mr. Higgins and Mr. Radford. Two are tall — Mr. Keppel, Mr. Nickerson. One is long — Mr. Nave. The athletic committee is all of new teachers— Mr. Nave, Mr. Higgins and Mr. Keppel — and their advent marks a boom in academy athletics. For the benefit of any stranger to whose eye this may come, I wish to add that in North western University Academy there is a peculiarity. It is that the teachers and .students are friends. The teachers are here to teach and to do all they can for the student ; the students are here to .study and to learn. Better thing can no man say of teacher or student. Our I ire-side Reveries of the future will be full of memories of the friendly association and mutual confidence sustained between student and teacher here. This fellowship has become one of the most pleasant links in the life of your fellow student, N. Organizations Voung Ulomen ' s Christian Jlssociation MOST important event, within the year just past, was the Summer Conference at Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, to which the Association sent four delegates. Resident members held a prayer meeting weeklj- during the summer and corresponded with prospective new students. The fall campaign was successfullj- carried on in connection with the Young Men ' s Christian Association. Two Bible classes are maintained under competent instructors. The prayer meetings have been of increased interest and throughout the Association there has been a marked spiritual growth. Vouitd mens f bristian Jlssociation During the past year the Association has been under the able management of Mr. J. B. Porter. Our delegation to the Lake Geneva Conference was the next largest there. In Bible study the work done has been excellent, the As.sociation ranking among the first in the state in this department. The finances are in an unusually good condition. Great interest was shown by the student body in the joint prayer services held by the Academy Christian As.sociations, beginning with the day of prayer for colleges. The interest taken in the Sabbath morning meeting has been unusual. The year has been a progressive one, in which God has been glorified and men have been helped to a deeper and truer knowledge of the Christ. Citerarv Societies eugensia Eugensia has held its meetings the present year in room 26, Science Hall. The society is characterized by an earnest eiTort to improve in literary ability. This is the first year in the history of the society in which a prize has been offered for literary work ; also the first time that a preliminary debate has been held for the purpose of selecting a representative for the Caxton debate. Eupbronia Euphronia ' s history for the past year is one of which she may well be proud. In con- nection with her programs, particular attention is paid to recent events. The event of the ■winter term was the Columbia contest, won by D. L. Rule. Preparation is now being made for the Shutterly Oratorical Contest. Euphronia has a membership of thirty-eight, largely composed of men who have had considerable experience in literary work. She also has a quartette of some renown. Philomathia Philomathia has been demonstrating the truth of her motto : Labor omnia vincit. Although her membership is not as large as it has been, the work of the society has been carried on with as much enthusiasm as ever. Rev. S. J. Herben, assistant editor of the N. Y. Christian Advocate, and many other distinguished ex-Philos have visited the society within the past year. The annual session with Eugensia was held February 14, 1896. Zetaletbca With Zetalethea the past year has been a prosperous one. Her members have reason to congratulate themselves upon the steady advancement made. Zetalethea ' s contestant, Mr. J. Button, won first prize in the Caxton Annual Debate Contest. The policy of this society is: To justly appreciate the most humble effort, to endeavor to develop its members with impar- tiality, to discover and stimulate the latent powers of every member. Her motto is : Clear thought, connnon fellowship, manliness. Current €t ciit$ Club This club, under the direction of Professor Nave, liolds weekly meetings for the dis- cussion of current events. A bird ' s eye view of political, social and religious movements, as well as recent scientific discoveries, etc., is afforded bj- the several committees. fltbktics Jltbletic Jlssociatioit This association was organized at the beginning of the winter term of the present school year.

It exists for forty weeks to a daj-, And then of a sudden it grad — but staj-, I ' ll tell you about it without delay; Swelling the Doctor ' s breast with pride, And making a wonderful record beside. You must have heard of it, I say. Nineteen hundred, no more, no less. Which is inconvenient, I confess; The reason of this I ' ll straightway tell, It leaves us minus a fourth-year 3-ell. Did we not in all things excel. Accomplish all our efforts well, We might, indeed, flunk out, each one And join the class of 1901. Now in fourth-year classes, I tell 3-ou what, There is always, somewhere, a weakest spot; Tired fellows, with lessons forgot. Who in examinations at cribbing are caught. Cross or silly maidens, who, with sulk or pout, Frown upon the young men who don ' t tote them about. But we are the ne plus ultra. Above or below, in Evanston or out. You can ' t find a better class, I ' m sure beyond a doubt. The Doctor swore (as Doctors do, So the Doctor scanned them o ' er and o ' er, With an I dew vum, or an I tell j o; , ) As oft with Virgil he ' d done before. He would send out one class to beat them all. To see what weak spots he could find, Unless weakly ' ' ' lectures avail nothing at all. Whether of body or heart or mind. Fur, said the Doctor, tis mighty plain There was Mantor, too hot-headed by far. That the weakest person mus ' stan ' the strain; And Noyes whose racket gives nerves a jar. ' N ' the way t ' fix it, uz I maintain, One of the Kean eyed girls with a Maze of curls Is only jest Is seen to Greek to go, T ' make that person uz strong uz the rest. Audetque viris concurrere virgo. J. B. Porter, I rather guess He ' s a brick and nothing less; Love in a cottage is his delight. You ' ll find him there any Tuesday night. Barnlund adds dignity to the class. And Tilroe ' s in love with a Freshman lass. Dr. Trethewy, the medicine man, And Eugene Frey, who Greek began. Hamniett, J. R., and Hanimett, E. M., Spend most of their evenings at the Feni. vSem. Loutzenhiser, the long-haired bard, Is held l)y the maidens in highest regard. Solenberger, who lives at Heck, And Seager, stubborn and stiff of neck. F. J. Truby on English dotes, — For word-derivations, consult his notes. There ' s Mr. Pickrell, .still uncaught; Frost gets his lessons — ju.st as he ought. C. M. C. Buntain would .set the pace For all who care to enter the race. Vanity Hart, with auburn curls. Has left the Freshman for Fourth-Year girls. Gard and Curtis with Homer strive. And McMaster, who.se hours of work are five. But the pride of the class, as all will say, Are the maidens fair, who, day by day, Honor their sex in every way. Laura Arnold, without a horse, Answers each question of Doctor Morse. Miss Paddock, her room-mate, also shows Not what she guesses, but what she knows. Miss Seabrook, Miss Pay ton. Miss Seamans as well. Peaceably under one roof do dwell. Miss Overholt and Miss Osterhout Are as charming girls as you ' ll find about. We look around for Jennie Scott, The search is vain, we see her not; For she has gone to Glucose Wood To teach the fellows and make them good. (ienevieve Stevens can hold her own With the Best of them, as she ' s clearly shown. Miss Pierce, with her angelic smile, We can ' t forget for the shortest while. Miss Price is worth her weight in gold. Miss Raymond ' s charms are often told. And .so the Doctor scratched his head. He thought a while, and then he .said: Of all the classes which have gone I rom under my care, surely this one Has done the noblest, least often blundered. I ' m proud of the class of 1900. W. V. Pii ' KR. 283 E Dream 0 g011U early hours of the afternoon have swiftly glided by and the short interval f m which, on a winter ' s day, intervenes between daylight and darkness, is already V i I present. Dr. Fisk is sitting in his office chair j)erusing some of his favorite passages ■from Todd ' s Students ' Manual. The failing light forces him to lay aside his book, V r and for a while he thoughtfully gazes out into the gathering twilight. Then Morpheus, who ever seeks to add to the fickle pensioners of his train, gently woos his weary mind from thoughtful revery, till it becomes enchanted with the fancies and the shapes of Dreamland. Before his delighted vision looms up a building of magnificent proportions. Four stories high it stands, A monument of faithful hands. He admires the noble work of the architect, but is at a loss to know what building it is. As he approaches he perceives in the vestibule the ever faithful sentinel, whose dut) ' it is to see that no one, either male or female, enters these classic halls having on his person any trace of that death -dealing weed, tobacco. He notices over the door on the left a sign, Principal ' s Office. It begins to dawn upon him that this is the new academj- building for which he has so long hoped and worked. But not until he enters and recognizes the familiar faces of Sheets, Elkins, Best and Mason, is he sure that his fondest hopes have been realized. However, he has no time to attend to their manifold wants, for the sound of voices raised in song warns him that noon chapel is in session. Hastily snatching two or three envelopes filled with notices of fourth- year meetings after chapel, unidentified fountain pens and unclaimed stick-pins, he passes, as one in a dream, along the spacious halls and up the broad stairway. As he enters the chapel, Professor Foreman, without the aid of his overcoat, is reading these words: Behold, old things have passed away and all things are become new. The doctor ' s heart is filled with joy, which is onh ' embittered by the fact that nowhere amidst all these improvements has he seen Professor Morse. Suddenly he perceives at the end of each row the device for automatically as.signing seats and keeping chapel records, and with this discovery all his perplexity vanishes. Professor Mo];se, his life-long work accomplished, has gone up higher to assign seats to the choir in the New Jerusalem, where a church roll is unknown, where the delinquent essay troubleth not, where conception is always clear, thought rapid and speech concise. The daily benediction, Is there anj- other notice before I dismiss you? has been pronounced and chapel dismissed. With wonder and delight the doctor sees each girl keep her seat until the last boy has passed out of the aisle, except Pease, who, as usual, has some important matter to comnnmicate to the fourth-year girls. Passing quickly to his office, he is soon in earnest consultation with Kester as to the advisability of that gentleman ' s dropping Latin altogether. Next, vSeager receives congratulations for having passed in spelling, and Billy Piper, who broke all records recently by growing two inches in a night, offers an excuse for absence from his Virgil class. Miss Smith casually comes in and is presented with a combination time lock for use during her fourth-year English recitations. With her is Miss Kimball, who, having recently been called from the class room to a higher sphere of duty, has given u]) teaching French in order to learn the rudiments of housekeeping. The doctor, finally left to himself, begins to muse of the school as a unit. At last I have the ideal school. Noyes and Sheets have gone to studying, Gard and NcNett have shaved their mustaches, Philoand Zete close at ten, the girls are taking reg- ular work in Professor Nave ' s new gymnasium, and everjbody ' s grade isabovego. My happiness would be complete if only — , but what that one thing was Dr. Fisk will never know, for just at that moment a great trembling of the earth aroused him from his slumbers. He awoke and discovered that his .sojourn in the Land of Nod had been rudely disturbed by Professor Loomis, who was kicking the earth behind him as he hurried down the .street. The doctor gazed around him in the deepening twilight, but could discover naught but signs of the old, familiar Prep., where, for so many years, he has labored and loved. C. A. TRKTHI•; v ■.

Thrice happy he, within whose breast Live echoes of the song she brings — A message born on angel wings — And who hears not, cannot be wholly blest. But Fancy dreams while Fact relates Not what is not, but what is seen And heard and felt of loves and hates. Of freaks of fortunes and of fates, Of times more often troubled than serene.

J M P K N O u R V W Y X Cbe Associated Shades of Cbird Vears T was the witching hour of twelve on a glorious midwinter night in the year 2096, and the moon was lighting up the ruins of Science Hall. Scarcely a fitting night for spirits to walk abroad, you may think, for it is not usually on such nights as this that the inhabitants of Hades return to earth to haunt the places in which they were most unhappy during life. But the Third-Year class, ever noted for its originalitj-, was preparing, on this particular night, for the one hundredth annual social and business meeting of the A.ssociated Shades of Third-Years. Even now the shades of some members, who were always noted for their prompt- ness, might be seen among the ruins of what was once room 19, Science Hall. Prominent among this number was the shade of Darragh — Darragh, the punctual, always on time— except when late. There were sounds as of the clashing of glass tubes, and a rattling of the chains of that one-time pride and joy of Professor I oomis ' heart, the differential pulley. Suddenly a shade stepped up to the highest point of the ruin, and, grasping a metre- stick firm]} ' at its point of oscillation, rapped for order. When quiet was restored, the secre- tar}- called the roll. One member of the association was missing. Your Ghostly Honor, this member has three absences already charged against him, and Merely tardinesses, interrupted the president, for which he is excused. It was always a physical impossibility for Brock to get anywhere on time. Is there any other business to be brought before the meeting? A shade known as Seltzer sprang to his feet and exclaimed wildly, Mr. Chair- man, I move you that we adjourn to the refreshment room. Sparling ' s ghost made a frantic effort to second the motion, but a friendly shade admonished him to wait until after the program. The shade of Button first read, in an impressive manner, the shadow of a love story composed for the occasion. After this Cumnock rendered, in a manner worthy of his immortal father, that masterpiece of poetrj ' , Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Thomas showed the company a set of illustrations of the Merchant of Venice. Rawlins, dapper as when in the flesh, read a classical translation from Nepos. A quartet, consisting of Moyer, Freeburg, Agnew, and the only Weed in the Third-Year garden, sang After the Ball, and then Seltzer ' s suggestion was acted upon, and the Associated Shades were served with the shadows of bvgone sherbet and lady-fingers. Here is a particularly large cup of sherbet for the Villain; where is he? remarked the shade of Hanmer. Oh! exclaimed Johnson, with a start that nearly knocked off his glasses, I ' ve got his regrets here in my pocket. He was busy with some Cicero notebooks and couldn ' t come. Doubtless Andrews will be delighted to take charge of anj- extra sherbert you have. ' ' Where are Best and Zimmerman to-night? asked another shade. Oh, Best was here but he left early; had to go back by way of Orrington avenue. As for Zim, well, he handed in his resignation at our last business meeting — by special request. The ladies objected to carrying shades of Webster ' s Unabridged while carrying on a conversation with him. They began calling him the walk Just at that point the sonorous voice of President Abbott was heard bidding the shades beware of the ap- proaching day. When the gray dawn broke in the east, no trace of the ghostly carnival could lie seen , for with the first rays of the sun, the shades had fied away. H. M. Bakkr. s Cbe ebb and flow of a Prep COME from haunts where hash is served, I make a move toward chapel, I take the seat for me reserved, And use the ancient hvninal. By back steps then I hurry down. Nor sHde along the railing. With twenty more before the Prof., I take my part in failing. Till last to Dr. Fi.sk I go To join the ones that quiver. And we may come and we may go. But he stavs there forever. I chatter, chatter, as I go, With teeth, not tongue — oh, never ! For Preps may come and Preps may go, But I feel squelched forever. I steal no more another ' s time. Nor slide notes under covers; I keep my fresh forget-me-nots. Inter nos ; there are others. I chatter over cruel ways In little .sharps and trebles; I listen then to what he says; He empties me of evils. I laugh, I joke, I fib, perchance. Among my fellow students, But in the class I tune my dance To faculty jurisprudence. I murmer at the cafetiere Of brambles in the messes. I think the brambles I most fear Are those my conscience presses. And so is student life, I trow; Each helps to swell the river, And Preps may come and Preps may go, But the old Hall stands forever, Angie E. Seabrook. Uive la eugensia You ought to visit Science Hall Some Friday night, and see What we PUigensians can do — We number twenty-three. We ' re not the same Eugensia That you have heard about, For when she entered her abode The Thetas drove her out. Deprived of home, devoid of friends, She, starving, seemed to die ; And many of her members now Are reading Greek on high. But do not for one moment think Eugensia doesn ' t live, t ' or Prep girls flock in by the score To help her to survive. Come, Musics, .Seniors, Cumnocks, all. And Thetas, too, .so gay ; Just come and hear our girls debate The questions of the day. You say we ' re only Preplets now, But we are growing fast, And when we ' ve reached your chilly clime Eugen.sia still shall last. Agnes Denison. Jl novel Tdea [j. E. LANGLOIS, IN THE ACADEMY JOURNAL.] The students of the academy have decided to give a fair for the benefit of the newly organized association known as The United Laboring Brethren. This is a very worthy organization, and should be well supported by all the students of the academy. The members are, as yet, few in number. They are: Messrs. Mason, Miller, Porter, Smith, Weaver and Baker. Through the kindness of Mr. Hall, a place in which to hold the fair has been provided. The necessity of furnishing an expensive curtain has also been obviated, our esteemed friend, Mr. Sheets, having offered his services. The painting and decorating will be done by three of our well-known students, Messrs. Brown, Gray and White. The music will be furnished by the Academy Ouartette, Messrs. Bangs, Noyes, Piper and Barker. The fair will have two departments, the floral def)artment, in charge of Miss Rose and and Miss Lillj ' l lade, and the fruit department, in charge of Messrs. Orchard, Apple(y), Chestnut, Pease and Perr} ' . An excellent entertainment will be given, consisting of a few selections by the quartette, and the exhibition of a few rare .specimens from the academy museum. Among others will be exhibited the following well preserved .specimens of nature : Swan, Wolf, Peacock, Coon, Pelican and Bear. There will also be exhibited a few of the more recent additions to the niu.seum. These are E. M. Tallman, h. Short, F. A. High, J. M. Springer and C J. Swift. Mi.ss Tallman is indeed a great attraction, measuring 8 2 feet in height. Miss Short is known to be one of the smallest midgets in the world, being only 2 ' 2 feet tall. Mr. High is also quite a giant, and, it will be interesting to know, is engaged to Miss Tallman. Then there is Mr. •Springer, the India-rubber man, who.se record is 23! yards at a standstill. Last, but not least, is Mr. vSwift, who holds the chamjjionship for .sprinting, his record being one mile in three niinules. I5y the untiring efforts init forth l)y Mr. Skinner, the business manager of the fair, this entertainment ha.s been made extremely interesting, and we can truthfully say will be well worth the price of admi.ssion. Tickets can be obtained from Mr. Freeburg. Be sure to get a reserved seat. Come early and avoid the rush. Prep O ye sanded, painted, scoured, deep-worn floors Of Prep, how many feet have dragged or flitted over you !

These are the rooms of recitation, Here stand the teachers, outwardly serene (with few exceptions). But chafing inwardlj- to find how slowly Do the youthful minds imbibe. In comes a First-year, with exalted mien, As doth become the dignity of one whose mind is stored With the accumulated lore of office, district school, And corner store. When he is Second He is humbler grown; for nine long months Have not been spent in vain to show that information Comes through effort, and the effort taxes every nerve. When he is Fourth he ' s learned, whatever else he knows, That he knows nothing. Now comes a fellow who has read his lines of Cicero Without a break; his step is light, his face is bright. The walls appear to him to clap their hands in glee, While fanc - pictures a professor ' s chair. Now enters one who ' s flunked. He talks in tones subdued; He looks as if he ' d swallow blackboard, teacher, books, and all. And still be hungry. Speak ye of battles ? Within these rooms fights as intense are fought, and victories won, As e ' er were witnessed on the gory field. Here povert}-, 111 health, repeated failure, pride, and pain Have cried, You must go down. Repeatedly The answer is hurled back, I can, I must, I will succeed. Each time these words are uttered, character is formed, And heavenly scribes record the victory. But if ' twere Friday eve we ' d visit two, eleven. Four, and twenty-six.

O chapel, old, yet glad and bright, What memories linger round thee still! How many buoyant, hopeful, J030US hearts have met Within your walls at eight and twelve. Now listen to the service. The hymn of praise, the reading of the Scripture, and the prayer Are ended. Then a book for sale, a meeting to be held, A paper read, a task announced; and now, mysterious missives Are dispensed, which read as follows : Gratulations on your good success, and, also, at times, Sorry to see you marked ' Low passing grade, ' And hope you will do better. On vSunday eve this room reverberates with exhortations Entering every heart not made of stone, Inclining it to be more holy, more divine. What .signify these rooms to human life ? Their import is to teach a man to know him.self , To help him answer why, O why do mean, ungenerous Thoughts crowd into time of prayer and holiest reflection. And why is loftiest effort still alloyed with dross ? Here is one taught to struggle; he fails, and failing, struggles on; Until at length the mind is forced to think consecutive ideas. And slow imagination kindles into flames. The unappreciative eye now sees what was invisible, While quickened tongue begins to put in words The emotions of the heart long unexpressed. And now, our school, enlarge your rooms, Expand your walls, and offer growth to multitudes. And what of good your children do, in lecture, law, The healing art, the pulpit, farm, or press.

Come blot out the pen-tracks of him who abuses (With lack of all chivalry) the maidens whose hearts, When he held the bow, were unscathed by love ' s darts. For the mystical motintains of Poesy ' s realm Can only be reached with the muse at the helm Of the gfreat ship of Fancy; nor would I be lost — lyike my friend to the south — in the cold and the frost Of displeasure engendered by cruising too wide On the ocean of Rhyme — till, adrift with the tide Of jealous revenge, on Oblivion ' s shore His frail bark is cast, to be sighted no more. The ladies of Northwestern need not the weak defense That ' s based on sland ' ring others — they stand unrivaled — hence The bard will not endeavor to contrast or to compare, For a lady is a lady, be she here or be she there. We ' ve no dispute to offer — that Chicago is a queen — (No city now can hope to be competitor, I ween) — And Evanston, as all agree, Chicago ' s scintillant crown, A truth so much in evidence, her rivals fret and frown. Our own dear university, the fairest, brightest gem That crowns with radiant beauty this illustrious diadem.

Jin Jlfter-Cbougbt ' EIGH WOOLSON had taken off his coat and vest ; he had put on his smoking-coat and stepped into his slippers. It was after dinner and it was Sunday. His brow tightened with a grave, pensive expres- sion as he pulled back the curtains and pushed up the shade. His shoulders drooped with a satisfied weariness as he stood looking out at the drab, dead sky, at the fall-dismantled park and at the rain- ( aked streets and houses. His hands sank deeper into his pockets, and he watched the little drops as the) ' slid down the window, mak- ing crooked paths on the dusty pane. It was gloomy, Leigh thought, and he lighted the gas. The table in the middle of the room was littered with papers and maga- zines ; the walls were littered with photographs and pat pictures ; the dresser was littered and so was the bed ; and after Leigh had made several ineffectual attempts to find the inkstand and writing-pad, the floor had assumed most of the table ' s responsibility. In the dresser — O, 3es ! he remembered now ; and out they came. Everything being ready, he leaned over the letter he had been improving for the last three months. Again and again he had rewritten it, thinking each time it was perfect, but on taking it up later he would find new flaws. To-day was the dress rehearsal ; he was reading it for the last time. The words, Madge, darling, gave him a little start. Well, it was awfully awkward — he wanted to assure Madge that he loved her more than ever. But suppose she should read it to . He knew that was a habit of most girls. But Madge was not like that ; a girl who would say what she had said on that night when he was angry. Yes, and she had meant it. He admitted that she had said the wrong thing at the right time, but it had made a lasting impres.sion. It had been tlie thorn of his conscience ; the ghost of his day dreams. He would see two sad, brown ej-es and hear that phrase : When frivolity has lost its charm you will write to me, and I — then I shall be happy. Why should he hesitate? How could he imagine she had not been true? However, he remembered having heard that it was clever to begin a letter without an affectionate appellation, so he ran a line through Madge, darling, and read on : You are not surprised. You have known all the time that I could not but love you. I have fought my pride long ; it is dead. This is the last year of my preparation. I have looked forward to the time when I could make a place for myself in the world ; but now that the opportunity is at hand I hesitate. ' ' The successes I have dreamed of, the plans I have laid, seem to have lost their zest ; and I find that it is not a place in the world my heart craves, but a place near you. You have been my inspiration, the spirit of all my hopes. Now I am undone. Forgive me ! Love me ! Restore me ! ' ' As he finished reading, a slight tingle of satisfaction ran over him ; he was pleased. But, the thought came, suppose Madge has changed. Suppose new influences have brought new aff ' ections. Suppose a truer lover has awakened a truer love. The suggestion was unpleasant, and he fell to wondering if he could not put his letter so that it would appeal to the intuitive sense of a lover but escape the eye of cold criticism. With this intention he began to write : There are nianj- instances of thought expressed by people in the heat of a crisis, proving that men and women are given the power to foretell the future. You seem to have had this miraculous insight, for I am glad to tell you that your prophecy has come true, and I am happy to At this point something happened that did not please Leigh. It was nothing more nor less than a rap at the door, and the way he growled Come in ! did not exactly express the consuming happiness of which he had been writing. As the door opened he turned his letter face down and looked up. The rigid lines of discontent relaxed into a surprised smile as he shook hands with a friend. Say, Leigh, said the visitor, let me take your Philosophy notes. I have to make that stuff up to-morrow. Certainly, old man, if I can find them. Have a chair and a weed, Leigh replied, throwing his cigarette case on the table. Thanks, said the visitor, in a muffled voice, as he leaned over the drop-jet for a light. I hope you can, for it will save me a lot of work and probably a flunk. Leigh plunged into the closet and presently reappeared with a dust-covered budget, which he began to undo. Are you going home for Christmas? he asked, blowing the dust from his fingers. No ! was the reply. It ' s too far. I ' m going down to Chicago. Do you go home ? The folks want me to ; you know I have not been home for over a year, and I guess they are anxious to see me. That ' s so ; yovi were in the Adirondacks last summer. You remember I visited jour town during the vacation, returned the visitor, as he languidly exhaled the cigarette smoke and watched the gas flame snatch it up and hurl it toward the ceiling. Here they are, Leigh cried, and it ' s only the first term ' s work. Just what I want, the visitor exclaimed. By Jove, that ' s lucky ! You have saved my life, old man. I wi.sh I had some way of demon.strating my gratitude. ' Tisn ' t necessary. I ' ve been there myself, Leigh hastened to explain. But how about Sunmierfield ? Dead as ever? No ; there was lots of joy on tap out there. Go on, old man, said Leigh. My folks never tell me about the things I want to know. I ' m hungry for Summerfield gcssip. So the visitor oj)ened up, and, as is ever the ca.se, gossip ' s top once .spun increases its speed by its own momentum. In the first waver of conversation, Leigh asked, timidly, How about my old flame, Madge? Is she there yet ? Oh, yes ! Madge, cried the visitor. ' ' I had a great time with her, or rather she had one -ith me. Bj- the by, you don ' t train with her anymore, I hear. I suppose being dis- missed by a girl or so doesn ' t make much difference to a fellow like you. — Pardon me, am I wrong? I got the story from a girl — j ' ou know they always put it so— and we can certainly allow them that much satisfaction. You don ' t look interested. Don ' t you want to hear about it? Oh, certainly ; go on, Leigh assented with a mock eagerness. I thought, the visitor began, that we could shake hands and be good friends now — fellow-sufTerers, don ' t you know. Well, I hadn ' t seen that girl since that other summer, and one night I met her at a dance — moonlight, beautiful, and all that. We took a stroll along the same old path over which we had gone before. We stopped at the same spot at which we had rested on former occasions. Somehow all the old feelings and sentiments came back to me and I began to tell her some of the same things I had said a j ' ear previous. I felt ' powerful ' provoked with myself that I had not kept up the acquaintance, she looked so pretty and winning ; and I determined that, if she gave me half a chance, I ' d ' square ' myself. Well, I did. I told her how sorry I was that I had been such an idiot ; told her that I never could be happy unless she for- gave me. She did, but I wasn ' t happj ' long, for she turned right around and showed me her engagement ring. Joke? Well, I guess! Don ' t sympathize with me, man ! Laugh ! You don ' t rise to the occasion. When the door had closed behind the long mack- intosh Leigh sat down, turned the letter over and began to re-read : There are many instances of thoughts expressed by people in the heat of a crisis, proving that men and women are given the power to foretell the future. You seem to have had this miraculous insight, for I am glad to tell you that your prophecy has come true, and I am happy to He took up his pen mechanically and went on, slowly : congratulate you and wish you joy. Yours cordially, Leigh. He folded the page carefully, put it in an envelope, sealed it and directed it fully. Then he arose, and taking a pin fastened it to the wall just beneath a photograph of Madge. As he did so two very sad brown eyes looked out from the picture and he heard that same old phrase ; When frivolit}- has lost its charm you will write to me — and I — then — I shall be happy.

The morning session of the One Hundred and Third Congress had just assembled at Chicago, the nation ' s capital. The roll being called. Senator Barbarikos from Patagonia immediately took the floor and moved an adjournment in order that the sen- ators might participate in the festivities at Northwestern. Senator Codenuilsionski from Green- land heartily approved of this motion, for, as he said, it is but right and fitting, since two- thirds of this honorable body are alumni of this celebrated institution. After the adjourn- ment, by special favor, we were allowed to accompany the congressional party, and, stepping into the President ' s private pneumatic tube, the button was pressed, and a moment later we were landed on the university campus. Passing through a great triumphal archway draped in the college colors, we were met by a band of beautiful co-eds attired in purple bloomers and with harps in their hands. Thus, to the sound of enchanting music, we were escorted up the grand avenue and passed through the massive portals of the great central auditorium, from which all the other buildings radiate like the spokes of an immense wheel. Ten thousand voices rent the air with the time-honored Rah ! Rah ! as the President of the United States stepped forward to address the students of his old college home. He spoke very eloquently of the magical growth of the university, which, to quote his exact words, now stands unparalleled in endowment, unequaled in facilities and unrivaled in achievement. He also paid a glowing tribute to a former president. Dr. Rogers, to whom he attributed much of the present prosperity. After the oration was over, not caring to witness the Olympian games, in which Oxford was to contend for the laurels with Northwestern, we improved the opportunity of viewing the magnificent architecture. Wandering down near the lake shore, we were deeply imp ressed by a moss-covered, cathedral-shaped building which so beautifully harmonized with the other mammoth structures on the campus. After studying the mosaics and frescoes of the antiquated pile we succeeded in deciphering the word Preparatory, carved in dim characters on the frieze above the beautiful Doric pillars supporting the portico. Truly, it was a sublime and impressive sight ! Another building that attracted our attention was a marble structure known as The University Guild and Museum. The erection of this building was provided for in the last will and testament of a Dr. Sheppard. Passing into the museum, we found many interesting relics of former times preserved there. Among those that we specially noted was an ancient college laundry bill marked paid Another interesting relic was an excellently preserved mummy, wrapped in the solemn cerements of its own individuality, and reposing in a glass case marked Bib. Reliquiae Sacra. We learned that this specimen had recently been unearthed in excavations made at Heck. We were also much interested in an ancient, mysterious volume bearing the name Syllabus. It seemed to be a strange treatise or combination of almanacs, mythologies and art — both ancient and modern. In it were groups of fauns and Venuses and nymphs, with beautiful, sylph-like forms. But there were also fierce griffins and satyrs and seniors, some of whom were terrible to look upon. Between the leaves of this sacred volume we came across a little, j erfumed, time-worn note which threw some light on the social status of the past. It read as follows : Woman ' s H.a.i.l, June ist, 1896. Dear Charlie : — Meet me in the gloaming this evening at the foot of the south fire- escape. Yours forever, Maud. At the thought of those beautiful days of j-ore a great, briny tear stole down our cheeks and fell with a loud report upon the marble floor. Passing into another dim-lighted chamber, we discovered it to be the resting place of the Illustrious dead who had formerly been con- nected with the viniversity. Every niche and corner of this vast cloister was filled with the bust or monument of some former president or professor. Passing along from one bust to an- other, we were nmch impressed by the following short, crisp epitaph, carved upon a marble slab below a fine featured, classic face: Prof. J. S. C. Born , Died . State your point, stick to it, quit when you get through. See 200 Prac. Rhet. P ' urther on, our curiosity was aroused by observing a tomb covered with great bludgeons, canes, moccasins, leggings and other trappings. Supposing this to be the resting place of some great Indian chief, we consulted our guide book, but discovered that these were but scientific implements of a former celebrated Scotch profe.ssor who desired them to be buried with him in order that he might more forcibly impress Sociological truths upon the inhabitants of the happy hunting grounds. A most kind and expressive face looked down upon us from the philosophers ' row. This we found to be that of a celebrated Dr. Coe, whose system for the development of the imagination has so distinguished him. Its application to college soup houses has produced magical effects, for by its use the proverbial antiquated crackers are imaged forth as roll jelly cake, while the bacterial specimens, yclept prunes, are transformed into the most Inscious Eshcol fruitage. Thousands of students annually make pilgrimages to this sacred shrine, and we were loth to leave its solemn and interesting relics, but the gathering gloom of the waning day made further investigations impossible, so, passing out through the great arched doorway, we descended the long, terraced steps to the lake shore. Being weary, we seated ourselves in a convenient rustic seat. It was evening now. The great yellow moon had just risen out of the dark, trenmlous waters, and the golden light, glancing here and there through the giant oaks, cast a wavering, flickering shade upon the marble walls of the university. Youths and maidens were strolling along the beach, and the low murmur of voices was mingled with the gentle pulsating, throbbing of the water on the shore. And there, in the deepening shadows of this jeweled October night, the old .story of love was whispered, and all seemed blended in one soft sweet sjmiphony of beauty and of song. Thus musing, and forgetful of all save the beautj ' of the scene, our reverie was at last broken by the great chimes from the university tower pealing forth the hour of midnight, thus proclaiming that University Day, 1996, was at an end.

July 15 — There is a Miss Stevenson here; awfully dear little girl; fluffy t 7 yellow hair and big blue eyes — just my style — not too intellectual. ' ' - July 16 — Tried to teacJi Miss S. to play tennis. Not much success, but she is an awfully sweet little soul; doesn ' t bore a fellow by talk- ing about books and things. Girl from Northwestern University came last night; quite stun- ning looking, but I hate those college girls — too brainy for yours truly and no fun in them. 16 — Drove Miss S. to Troy. She is a dear little .soul, but afraid of horses rather. Played tennis with Miss Maurice, the North- western girl. She can play like a charm. Guess I ' ll have to practice up. 17— Hay ride to Troy. Took Miss S. We found a dinky dance hall and had an impromptu German. No end of fun. Miss Maurice ' s waltzing is a poem. Too bad she is a college girl. iS — Spent the morning with Miss S. She is rather conceited and not much fun. In the afternoon walked to Crowley ' s farm with Miss M. By George ! she is a dizzy girl, if she has wasted three years of her life in college. July 20 — Took Miss M. hor.seback riding. She rides like a centaur. We had a fine time. She don ' t talk about Greek or mathematics or any such stuff. I thought she would. July 22 — Had Miss M. sailing all morning. Awfully rough; nearly cap- sized. Pluckiest girl I ever saw; sat on the upper gunwale and never turned a hair when the lower one went under water. Thought it was fun. Her fir.st name is Claire. Dai.sy girl; not a bit like what I thought a college girl would be. July 23 — Had Miss M. out on the lake all evening. Sweetest girl I ever saw. Plays the banjo out of sight; can sing like a bird, too. Awfully bright to talk to. Wonder if they are all like this at Northwestern. Guess I ' ll go live in Evanston. July 25 — Took Miss M. to the hotel hop last night. Had four dances with her. She looked .simply stunning. We went down by the lake, and it was moonlight, and she said she was going back to-morrow, and I lost my head completely. I don ' t know what all I said, but I ended up by asking her to marry me. She seemed awfully surprised and a little cut up, but she gave me the marble heart all right — didn ' t even promise to be a sister to me. I don ' t like a college girl anyhow.

This latter fact I learned by chance one day when talking with young Leonard, one of m}- student friends. Before that time ni}- knowledge of Professor Rustinghouse had been limited to his personal appearance as he went to and from his room, for we lived in the same house. There are some men who have the power to leave you thinking after you have looked upon them, and he was of this kind. In years, he could not have been more than thirt}--five, but he looked nearer fiftj-. His clothes of ancient stjde were painfully genteel, and sat ill upon a form that had wasted into awkwardness. As to his features, it was not merely the square jaw and the firm mouth, with its faint trace of tenderness, nor yet the pathetic gray eyes, surrounded with lines of suffering; it was not the broad brow, with its deeply ploughed furrows, but it was the combined effect of all of these that left the impression. The whole face had a suggestion of power, but it was a power that had never reached its fulfillment; there was an air of something lost bejond recall, as though some hand had rudely checked the development of the soul that lay within. It was the face of a man who had fought with fate and won, but had found no joy in the winning; and every time I looked upon it I knew that it carried the .story of one of life ' s great tragedies, and wondered by what experiences its lines had been carved. Wherefore it fell out that I set mj-.self to discover from young Leonard in what e.sti- malion the .students held this man who had so attracted my interest. Old Rusty? said he in his dashing way, Oh, he ' s a queer old chap. Kind of a stick, you know. He wears such old clothes and has such a mournful air; acts somehow as if he ' d dropped behind the procession and knew it. ' ' A scholar? Oh, yes ! He has been, but I guess his day has gone by. His classes are regular snaps, and awfully dull except when he gets on his hobby and talks to us about some great man of the past. Then, just as you have a kind of a feeling that ' Old Rusty ' wasn ' t always the stick he is now, he ' ll seem to remember himself and come back to earth again as though he were ashamed. Once we had a scene. Young Trace, a sensitive little chap, got rattled when he was reciting because the fellows near b}- were guying him; his lips began to quiver and his eyes to fill, and some of the fellows laughed, but ' Old Rusty ' stood up and when they looked at him they were still as death. You forgot all about his old clothes and his queer ways. He looked like a king, and his eyes flashed like cold steel as he said: ' Those who would continue in my classes nmst behave as gentlemen. You are dismissed. ' But ' Old Rusty ' seems to be getting more out of date every year. Sometimes I feel half sorry for him; he must be awfully lonely. Then I knew that in the thoughtlessness of youth, the students did not appreciate this man who lived apart from them. A few nights later, I attended a reception at which the College Faculty were guests and l)ethought myself that here was another opportunity to learn more concerning my fellow lodger. So, going up to Professor Morehead, one of the young and modern men of the institution, I asked him whether he was very well acquainted with Professor Rustinghouse. This was the reply I got from him in his mincing speech: Well — ah no — ah, that is, not exactly. You see — ah — he never goes anywhere, and he — ah — dresses so oddly, and — ah — has such a queer manner — in fact — ah— one could hardh- afford to cultivate his acquaintance very nnich. Turning on my heel I left him abruptly, for it made my fingers tingle to hear this tailor-made man talk thus of one whose shoestrings I somehow felt he was unworthj- to unloose. Soon after this the long vacation com- menced, but Professor Rustinghouse sta3-ed on in town, more friendless and lonelj- than ever, if that were possible. And through the hot days of August I noticed that his step grew weaker, his eyes more weary and his face more pallid, until it was evident to my practiced eye that the untold story was Hearing its closing chapter. One morning there was a telegram for him, and that even- ing when I came home from visiting my last patient, the landlady asked me if I would not go up to Professor ' s room because he had not come down all day and she was afraid he was sick. After knocking several times and receiving no answer, I entered softly. He was sitting in an arm-chair at his desk with the telegram unopened in his hand and an open letter upon the desk before him. At first I thought he slept, but as I drew near I saw it was the sleep that knows no earthly waking, and whenever I think of this man, to whom I never spoke, I see him as he looked then. Peacefully he slumbered, with the golden light of the setting sun resting tenderh- upon his white brow, and lending a radiant glory to the smile on his lips. Whatever the tragedy, it had been well with him when the curtain dropped. Death had been his friend and as he passed, with kindly touch, had smoothed the lines of weariness and disappointment from his face, leaving it as it was before they marred it — youthful, powerful, noble. On the morning of the day we buried him I found at the door a boy of about fifteen 3-ears of age, and but for the evidences of an attempt at cleanliness and neatness, I should have said he was a regular street arab from the lower quarter of our city. Please, sir, does Mr. Rust ' n ' uss live here? said he, touching his cap. He did, my boy; do you want to see him ? ' ' was my repl) ' . Yes, sir. Please, sir, my brother Jim ' s kind o ' sick, and he wants to know if Mr. Rust ' n ' uss won ' t come down a bit early to- night and read some to him. He comes down twice a week, yer know, and teaches about a dozen of us chaps to write and figger real good, so ' s we can make somethin ' o ' ourselves, he says; so we can get a good job yer know. He ' s real kind to us, heis. As gently as I could I explained to the boy that Mr. Rustinghouse would never be kind to him again, and as the meaning of it dawned upon him, and the flood gates of his grief were opened, I, who am a stranger to tears, was forced to turn my head. They came to the funeral that afternoon, about a dozen of them, and laid a wreath upon his coffin. Beside myself they were all he had to follow him to his grave, but it was a better following than emperors have, for it was made up of true hearts, and watch- ing them as they looked for the last time upon the face of the only one who had reached out a helping hand to them, I knew that whatever his burden, the man we buried had been a man to be loved. He had nothing but his books, and we found a simple little will asking that these be divided among his boys, which was done. The letter that lay upon his desk was a receipt — an acknowledgment from a bank in New York. It was from the head of this firm that I learned the story of the man whose lonely, sorrowful figure had so strangely crossed my path. Rustinghouse? said he; why yes, there were two of them — father and son. With the father it was the old story, speculation — loss — insanity. We were the principal creditors, and the son, who had just taken his Doctor ' s degree and was considered a scholar of remarkable promise, told us he would pay us in full. That was ten years ago, and I know that all the time he has kept his father in a private asj ' lum, but every three months we received a certain sum with interest, and it is only a few weeks ago we sent him his receipt for the entire amount. Very com- mendable young fellow that ! Ought to succeed, eh ? This, then, was the story of that ten years — told commercially; but what had it meant to him ? For love and duty ' s sake — that in his infirmity his father might yet have comfort; and for honor ' s sake — that his father ' s name might be unsullied in com- mercial annals, had this man gone lonely and friendless. For this had he worn his old clothes; for this he had seen his ambi- tions withered and his prospects blighted; for this he had felt his intellectual power grow infirm and die; for this he had known the bitter agony of being pitied by his equals and contemned by his inferiors — and yet withal, he had not steeled his heart against humanity; but seeing that the college world had no place tor him, he had gone to those who needed him and had done his best to lighten the burdens of the lowly. The telegram contained the news of his father ' s death. Perhaps it was as well he never opened it, for I think his youthful power had gone forever, and that he never again could have been as lie was before the iron entered his soul. Yet, when I see him now sitting in his chair, as last I saw him, the picture has a deeper meaning, for he sits there holding in his hand the reprieve that had come too late to save him. On the day that college reopened, I went to see Leonard, and found gathered in his room about a dozen of the strongest men in college. At their request, I told them as best I could the story of the man whom thej- had so cruelly misunderstood. For a few moments the power and grandeur of it held them in silence. When the spell was broken there was an earnest consultation, and before I left I knew that though the unappreciated professor was dead, his work would never die. Sometimes I go to watch the classes of rough boys being taught by college men and it leads me to think of that lonely life that has left so deep a mark on mine. Then I know that he did not live in vain; that his suffering was not for naught, but that he has a monument in the lives of men, with an inscription, not traced in words, which old Time himself can never deface. Cbe m If ever, Miss Muse, you inspire Some tell of great shrines where are blended A mortal to break into rhyme Devotion and riches and art, And grant him poetical fire, Of temples and palaces splendid, This seems an appropriate tiine.

But I must hasten. I wish to expound this great and burning question of Labor and Capi- tal. I modestly trust b - mj logical treatment to scatter the miasmatic mists and let in the gorgeous sunlight of all-conquering truth. Rome ro.se, reigned, and fell ! Bloated Capital now sits in her cushioned couch, upon the seven hills, wielding the scepter of the gods, with her despotic foot weltering in the gore of lank, lean Labor as .she creeps away into a dark chasm of despair, to die upon a crust. But the gods are avenged, and as sure as yonder glittering orb of da} ' shall, by the stern edict of old Father Time, sink be3-ond the western hills, and all yonder deep void of immensity shall melt under the sweet influence of the Pleiades, so sure shall the iron heel of the de.spot be broken, and, all victorious, Labor shall rise Phoenix-like out of the waters of despondency, and, shaking the ambrosial dew from her invincible locks, shall hurl the foul, bloated fiend into the Charybdismal abyss. Methinks in vision that I .see her rising like a mighty, puissant feline, with flashing eye and quivering flesh, mewing herself for this awful fight. Methinks I hear the awful sound of carnage, and then, after the mists of battle have cleared away, methinks I see the grim tyrant of oppres.sion with the death rattle on his brow. Methinks I hear him give one bubbling groan as he sinks down in death, unwept, unkennelled and unknown; and high o ' er the embattle- ments of war, methinks I liear the angelic choir making the welkin ring with the triumphant shout, What ' s the matter with ' 97 ? |Tlie concluding stntence was interpolated from tlic exterior of the hall by a misguided junior.] W.

And as thej ' walked over the face of the earth, their feet fell upon rocks, and by the wayside, and upon the sidewalks. And after they had walked many days, behold there was gathered unto them a crop of blisters; to one, thirty; to another, sixty; and to a third, one hun- dred fold. And now the parable is this. He who walked by the wayside was one who had tight .shoes and a cane, and he was called Ego the Great, who ruleth German, walking, and chapel-music. And he was one who had a record in these several walks of life, until there came a fowl of the air which did fly from the library unto the hall of the professors, and devoured the walking record of Ego the Great, so that it was not. And thereupon was Ego the Great wroth, and he sware by all Gothic, San- skrit and Choctaw, that he would get him self a record more lasting than bronze, which neither fowls nor geese could con- sume. And he who trod upon rocks was Goose-Neck, the Senior, for his vision was so elevated that he perceived not the rocks of the earth until he had trodden upon them. And behold there were also thistles in the way, but Goose-Neck perceived them not, for his vision was fixed on everlasting glor} ' and the walking record of Ego the Great. And they who went on the .sidewalk were various, but they were all exceeding short; likewise did they take chemistry. And behold! their names are written in the book of fame — the catalogue. And these various ones did rejoice in the shade of that sidewalk, while their companions did fear to walk therein ; for Goose-Neck wished not to lose his head among the treetops for his exceeding greatness. And Ego the Great was fearful lest something might over.shadow the glory of his walking. R. H.

Cbe Rise of Debate at northwestern HE wide reputation of Professor Robert McLean Cumnock, and the influence of his consummate grace and matchless enunciation upon those placed under his instruction, gave Northwestern men, years ago, the first rank in oratory — that term being used to designate a correct and elegant manner of delivery. But too often, in our desire to speak elegantly, we forgot the supreme importance of having something to say. It had be- come a fashion with us to speak in a derogatory way of extemporaneous efforts in oratory ; and the training in quick thought, best secured in debate, was, so far at least as our curriculum was involved, entirely overlooked. There was, indeed, a literary society — The Adelphic — which was, in part at least, a de- bating so ciet}-. We are ignorant of its history, nor can we give the date of its demise, but rumor says the trustees turned it out of doors to make room for dead men ' s bones, and bugs, andsich. We mention the rumor because we hear that another society of kindred nature is homeless that the museum may be enlarged, and we think it is time for some one to enter a protest. If room cannot be found for both live and dead specimens of the species man, we wish respectfully to submit whether a live university should not prefer live specimens. Professor J. Scott Clark of Syracuse University was called to occupy the chair of English Language at Northwestern in 1892. Early in that }-ear President Rogers requested him to form a class for debating, and during the winter term, English E became a part of the regu- lar course in Engli.sh. The plan of teaching in English E is as follows : Each member of the class prepares be- forehand a brief, clearl}- outlining his argument. He does not speak from his brief, however, that being prepared solely for the purpose of giving lucidity to his own thought. No memor- ized speeches are countenanced. In about four minutes each speaker makes his argument, rebuttal and summary. It is needless to say that the ability to do this requires concentration of thought and a careful discrimination of both words and arguments. Too many public speakers present to their hearers a multitude of words with scarcely an idea to give them weight ; but woe betide the man in Professor Clark ' s debating class who deals in glittering generalities ! It was inevitable that good debaters should be evolved from such training. A debate with Michigan University, Ann Arbor, was arranged for during the winter term of ' 93, and the result was a grand victory for Northwestern, the meeting taking place in April ' 94. At a second meeting of contestants representing the two colleges, in April ' 95, victory was again ours — a greater victory, even, than before. This year our representatives are to meet those of Wisconsin University ; and we rest confident in the belief that, whether we win or not, we shall uphold our high reputation, so justly won. We have omitted names and details concerning these contests, because our aim is to em phasize them as a common source of honor to every student of Northwestern, and an evidence of a strong and healthy growth in what is to us a new direction. We believe the world, in future years, will thank and praise Northwestern University that she is teaching her students the art of cogent, condensed thinking. Far be it from us to detract from the ideal of grace and finish we have so long considered essential to an orator. Let it be emphasized as strongly as ever that he must have both a round, full utterance and a beautiful pronunciation, but let it also be emphasized that the orator who aspires to represent our beloved Alma Mater must be a thinker. Cbimmie Tadden Uisits College ONG time since ye he ' rd er me? Cert. Want t ' knowde reason? Well, Mr. Paul an ' me we has been t ' dat place wot ' s college.

Cyttidn on football THAT S VAN DOOZER Faith, an ' what t ' ' ell tliey wear thini cloze fur is moore ' n Oi know, said Mr. Lyman to his friend, John Smith, commonly known as the unspeakable Turk, as they paused to watch the group of football players returning from the athletic field. Mr. vSmith strode ponderously along and deigned no reply, so Mr. Lynian continued: VWan day Oi saw a stujent goin ' along th ' sthreet, Jawn, an ' th ' payple wud turn round an ' luk whin he wint along. ' That ' s Findoozer, th ' great futball player, ' they ' d whisper; ' he plays half back on th ' Nortwistern tame, ' an ' thin, begobs, th ' b ' okes wud all luk again, an ' there wud be walkin ' Misther Findoozer doonth ' sthreet loike he owned th ' toon. Here Mr. Lyman suddenly inquired of Mr. Smith if he had ever watched a foot ball game. The latter was just bringing his huge walking stick to a position of present arms, and raising his hat to several ladies driving along the boulevard in a swell turn-out. Having acquitted him- self gallantly in this social function, Mr. Smith took the short pipe from his mouth, and replied in a deep guttural tone that contained a world of dignity, I ' ave not. Well, Jawn, Oi seen wan a wake ago, and it ' s a dommed poor bizness an ' not fur th ' loikes iv me or you t ' play. Thim cloze they hev on wud disgrace a dirthy Turk. Here Mr. Smith removed his pipe and looked inquiringly at his companion. No insinooations, Mr. Lyman hastened to add, No insinooations. Only they wuz dressed loike thim Turks an ' Penshuns an ' other dommed haythen Oi seen on th ' Meedway, all but th ' fiz on top o ' their ' eds. They wuz bar ' edded wid hair loike Paddy Rooskin, an ' they all woore bloomers that wuz a soight t ' behould They wuz that ould an ' dirthy loike divvle a wash had they iver seen.

' Futball, ' sez Oi t ' mesilf, ' wuz intinded fur th ' young and gay, an ' is not fur th ' loikes iv you, Misther Loinian, ' sez Oi. But do y ' know, Jawn, that in all their playin ' , an ' foightin ' , an ' kickin ' , that th ' good ould Oirish blood in th ' tame always came out on top. Misther McClooskey is th ' onlj- thrue son iv ould Erin in th ' game, an ' ivery toime th ' heep wint doon, whin the schmoke cleared away, theer wud be McClooskey sittin ' on th ' whole heap iv ' em, wid Findoozer an ' all thim other Dootch an ' English an ' other furriners benayth ' im. . n ' thin whin he ' d run, that Oirish bye wud go loike a wild .stheer. Not a mon iv ' em cud catch ' im. He made siven touch doons in foive minnits, an ' disqualified nine min fur gettin ' hurt by ' im. An ' so when they raised that divil ' s rackit they calls a yell, I giv ' em a good shout of ' Ould Oireland for iver, ' but to meself sez Oi, ' Lyman, me bhoy, you wuz iver a nate hand wid yer shillah ' , an ' could break heads wid the best av ' em, but this yer football is not fur the loikes av you.

I must admit (while I condemn Thy sinful ways), that I remem- Ber praises sung of thee by them Who public ply their wares. Thou ' rt dangled like a little toy Whose mission were to carry joy- But thou thy owner dost annoy By leaving unawares. Of all peculiar things, I ' m sure, That puzzle men, and baffle cure, There is not one can equal your Mysterious, aimless capers. I ' m waiting now for time to come When you, perhaps, shall sober some, And not adventure far from home Without your clearance papers. Fred L. Charles. Dfe ' s Cesson AFTER OLIVE SCHREINF.R She is alone on the pier. The afternoon is gray, and the damp breeze blows from lakeward. It lifts her soft hair, and lays it ten- derly across her cheek ; it raises her jaunty little hat, and carries off her veil. vShe looks after it as it is borne along the sands and high up over the water, till it is only a tiny thing in the air. The waves roll on with majestic sweep, and lash themselves against the pier. They come almost to her feet, but she does not heed. She is thinking, thinking. She is very small. There are loving eyes above her; a mother soothes the fretful wail. She sees the blue sky, and claps her tiny hands. She is happy. Now she is not so small. She runs about the door, and plays in the soft grass. It is so thick, and covers her little bare feet. She coos softly to herself and to the locusts that sing to her. She twines her dimpled fingers in the grass, and pulls it up, and laughs as she tosses it into the air. Now she has learned to walk. Her hair falls in soft, yellow curls, and she wears a little white apron. She wanders on the hillside, and plucks the bright flowers. There is a bunch of daffodils, and there are red flowers and blue. The grass is still green, but she does not notice it — the baby soul has begun to grow. And the sun still shines. The hill is so steep, and she is very tired. One by one the flowers slip from her hands — all but the yellow daffodil and one red flower and a blue — these she will keep. The sun goes behind a cloud, and she is frightened and runs a little, and a big, black shadov - runs after her — but the God is looking. She will not be afraid. Oh, no ! she will be brave. And then the sun comes out once more, and she smiles again and is glad. She is not a child now ; her skirts are long, and her hair hangs in heavy braids. She holds her head high and is not afraid. Life is waiting for her. She knows it. She is eager for it. She walks along by the big rocks ; the sands are so smooth and white, and as she wanders about she leaves footprints behind — but she does not know it. The world is beautiful and everything is glad. In her soul a thought is burning. She stands still a moment. There are tears in her eyes, and she looks off across the water ; then she stoops and builds a word out of the wet stones. It is far back on the sands. Shall she leave it ? Some one may see ! Why should she care ? Her heart wrote it. So she stoops again and builds around it a wall of sand — that will keep it from the waves. The ripples run up over the sand ; they twine themselves about the pebbles, and try to draw them away, but they are not strong enough — j ' et. She looks back now and .sees the footprints. They are very irregular ; some lead to the edge of the water, and some back over the sandy beach to the high cliffs, where the trees grow — but all lead to the .spot where she built the word. And far, far behind she hears the steady tramp of the feet that shall follow her footsteps. Her heart is moved — she will make the next path more straight ; she will make the path easier for those who come after. And it shall lead to the True, the Beautiful — the Good. With a new hope she walks on, marking in the sand with a stick, and leaving her foot- prints as before. 824 She hears laughing voices in the distance. How happy they are ! She must hasten to join tlieni. Now she is there, and she, too, laughs and is happy. But the time flies so fast, and all the while the little waves are working at the stones — and she has been learning many things. Living makes wise. And she has grown tired again, as when she was very small and played iipon the sun-lit hill. What do they mean — these things that she has seen ? She has been happy — }es — but what is left ? Is this all ? She is verj ' weary, and she wants rest. But the water moves restlessly and there is no calm. The waves no longer play on the shore ; they are no longer blue and prett}- ; they roar and are angry ; they rush in fiercely, then break on the rocks, and grow sullen. The sun does not shine now, and the wind has grown to a hurricane that sweeps her along on the slippery sands. This storm perhaps — and her heart contracts — it may have swept away — quick ! she must see. Breathless she runs back along the shore, beating her way against the wind. The rocks jut sharply out, and she can hardl}- see to climb around them, back, back to the place where the willow grows on the shore. The footprints are gone, the marks with the stick in the sand. Here is the spot where she built the word — but — it is gone ! The waves have reached it — the little waves that wound coaxingly about the .stones — they could not have done it, but the big waves— the little ones grown — they swept away the word, and left onh- a few scattered stones. Sadly .she stoops and gathers them. These she will keep, as she did the bright flowers from the hill. They have faded, but these cannot ; these flowers will last — these are stones. She starts. The picture is gone. She is still on the pier, and the sun has gone down into the lake. The shadows have crept out and it is darkening over the water. The storm has gone, and where it was is a peaceful calm. There will be storms, but none can harm now — for she has learned. She climbs down from the massive pier and writes in the sand, and then stamps out what she has written. This time it shall stay. (A last beam of light falls on her earnest face. She is looking up. Her hands are clasped. ) On the pier she has carved it, the one word — God. Theodora Ursula Irvink. Cast mill and Cestament of tbe ' 97 Syllabus Boara H{. 1fn tbe IHame of (305, Bmen. I, the ' 97 Syllabus Board of Evanston, in the Count)- of Cook and State of Illinois, being of sound mind and nienior}-, considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, and rejoicing with a clear conscience over the opportunity of escaping therefrom, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament. 3f ItSt. I order and direct that my executors, hereinafter named, do pay all my just debts and funeral expenses as soon after my demise as conveniently may be. SCCOflD. After the payment of such funeral expenses and debts I give, devise and bequeath the following property and personal effects to the members of the ' 98 Syllabus Board, share and share alike, to-wit : The sure and certain knowledge that of the many evils under the sun the greatest of these is to be on the Syllabus Board ; a choice assortment of selected bad language and compressed evil wishes from svLVidry disappointed people ; a valuable collection of polite refusals to sign adver- tising contracts, from railroads ; the very effusive and hearty support of the alumni ; some soul-stirring poetry and hair- splitting jokes (remnants) ; numerous special examinations, accompanied by the marked good will of the professors; some old shoes and stubs of railroad tickets left as a memento by the business manager and editor-in-chief ; the assurance of a most abundant supply of literary material from self-sacrificing students ; the golden opportunities of committee meet- ings for the formation of lasting friendships; several volumes entitled How Not to Do It ; an opportunity of unlimited credit for general merchandise (received in payment for adver- tising), from a safety pin to a windmill ; many pleasant memories and abundant good wishes. The residue of my estate I bequeath for the founding and maintenance of a hospital for men and women physically and mentally disabled by service upon any Syllabus Board. Xastlg. I make, constitute and appoint the editor-in-chief and business manager of the ' 98 Syllabus to be executors of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made. In witness whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name and aflfixed my seal this fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-six.
