A mirror of student life in the college days of ' 99, reflecting their joys and sorrows, their romance and realism. And when those days have slipped away, may this volume be a token of remem- brance which will serve to recall the glees and friendships, the rivalries, de- feats and triumphs under the canopy of the oaks. £ £jt £j j j j j University faculty HENRY WADE ROGERS, A.B., LL.D., President of the University.

Central Debating Ceague Northwestern University, the University of Michigan, Chicago University, and the Uni- versity of Minnesota compose the Central Debating League. The purpose of this organization is the development of ready speakers and skilled debaters through a public discussion of leading questions of the day. The universities named are arranged in two groups for the semi- final debates. The final contest in each year takes place in the Auditorium at Chicago on the first Friday in April, at which time the debate is between the winners from the groups. During the year i897- ' 98, the contest between Northwestern University and the Uni- versity of Minnesota will not occur, because the latter university, taking the place of the University of Wisconsin in the league, entered too late to allow arrangements to be made for the current year. 93 Organizations ftinman Eiterary Society ♦ ♦•fe Officers H.

The special work of the Guild is to secure an art collection for the University and the ultimate erection of an Art and Museum Building. The collection already secured is of great interest, and is valued at several thousand dollars. It consists chiefly of choice specimens of potter}-, porcelain and art glass, with small collections of pictures and casts. The Uniyersity Guild occupies rooms handsomely fitted up in the Orrington Lunt Library, where its social and other meetings are held, and where its collections are at present housed. The Guild rooms are open to students and the public on Wednesday afternoons.

Rows HE purpose of the university settlement is to offer to university people and others interested in social progress the opportunity of residence among the very poor and facilities for helping them socially, educationally and spiritually. Sharing the life of the poor is the fundamental idea of the settlement. Northwestern University Settlement was the second settlement begun in Chicago and the first to be started there under university auspices. It offers also an excellent opportunity for prac- tical acquaintance with sociological problems in the heart of a great city. The co-operation of students, alumni and members of the university faculties is especially valued in the work of the settlement, while no one is excluded from the ranks of its helpers. It is in the Sixteenth Ward, the most densely populated ward in Chicago, and occupies a large house at 252 West Chicago avenue and the first floors of three other buildings. It has ten resident workers and nearl)- fifty helpers who come once each week or oftener to assist in its various lines of work. The present work of the settlement includes boys ' clubs, children ' s clubs, a working girls ' club, a woman ' s club, a neighborhood social evening club, a mending guild, sewing classes, dressmaking class, lace-making class, a kitchen garden, a kindergarten, a penny savings bank, a circulating library, a circulating picture gallery, a coffee house and a model playground. It conducts also choral classes, an art class and classes in English, elocution, French and other subjects. The Social Crusade has its headquarters at the settlement, and conducts a Sunday service there and many other services in the vicinity. The residents also co-operate with the district bureaus of charity in relief for the needy and in friendly visiting. More than one thousand people visit the settlement each week and share in its social and educational opportunities. The work is maintained by membership fees in the settlement association and by voluntary subscriptions. Full information in regard to the settlement will be found in the annual circu- lars, which may be obtained by addressing the secretary. 109 Organizations Young mens Christian Association J. M.

We have been delightfully enter- tained by the fireside articles which have appeared weekly in the North- western under the caption, ' The Man on the Campus One of our very best students informs us that the articles bear marks of a feminine pen, and thai there is undoubtedly a hidden key, which, briefly stated, is: Select as many letters as you need from the forty-fifth article of the tenth series and you have plainly, May Peterson writes The Man on the Campus. ' We take this opportunitv of making a few congratulatory remarks upon the manner in which Miss Peterson has told of her experiences upon our beautiful campus. We believe from the tone of the articles that Miss Peterson loves the campus. We can see no harm in this, providing Dr. Rogers is not loving the campus at the same time. Just why she has sacrificed realism for ethereal- ism in these articles is not clear. We believe, as do many of our very best students, that Miss Peterson ' s love for the campus, treated realistic- ally and with that inimitable badin- age and persiflage would have been vastly more amusing and entertain- ing than the condition of the lake after the leaves have gently flut- tered, or the gleaming snow has crystalined the clock in the tower with its glittering marble mantle of snow) ' snow. Although Miss Peter- sou may not have treated the campus according to our ideas, yet we feel that she shows latent ability which is de- veloping with practice. We also call her attention to the delicate compli- ment paid her by the editor in giving space with such regularity. We pray that she may live to complete the series. We were inexpressibly grieved last semester to learn that a majority of our very best students had done unsatisfactory work. We are at a loss to account for such a deplorable condition in our midst. One of our assistant best students attributes the C disease tothe bril- liant society life and the exhausting social dissipation found at North- western It is plain that our sorori- ties and fraternities are degenerat- ing, he said. At this statement we sat aghast. Complaintsand captious criticism upon our co-eds ' dress and manners we can bear, but under such language our editorial collar chafed our alabaster throat, and we did not hesitate to talk to him real plainly. No, sir! sir! we reiterated in stento- rian tones. Northwestern ' s maidens are the fairest, and her men are the bravest the sun sets on. We cannot entertain any such thought, but to obviate the evil this semester, we offer as a suggestion that the faculticulus, represented by Samuel Debenhatn Gloss and J. Stitt Wilson call upon our students just before the exes and offer their personal aid and inspiration. We were much interested last se- mester in Professor Hough ' s an- nouncement that he had discovered a new comet sweeping across our uortheru horizon at the rate of 75,000 miles a second, and attended by a fiery train of nebulae. With all due respect to Professor Hough ' s age and experience, we nevertheless believe that the eminent astronomer is mis- taken, and that what he took for a comet was in reality Professor James Taft Hatfield out on a constitutional. The similarity between heavenly bodies is striking, and the fiery train of nebuhciseasilyaccountedforby the fact that the lake zephyrs sometimes are bold enough to sport with the professor ' s whiskers and, when such high speed is generated, a tremulous motion naturally permeates his hir- sute appendices. In vain we have sought for the reason why the Pan-Hellenic Associa- tion closed its doors and blew out its lights at 12 o ' clock. This brilliant social function, com- posed as it was of ' our very best and assistant best students, we were in- formed would close when it got ready. Divers announcements that there would be dancing after :2 cheered our drooping spirits. It is rumored that one of the fac- ulticulus was present, and, in defer- ence to his habit of retiring early, the affair was closed at 12. Once more we are called upon to congratulate our enterprising fellow student, Irwin J. Hall, in his recent call to the sporting editorship of the War Cry. We feel that Mr. Hall ' s talents have won deserved recogni- tion. How eagerly we grasp this oppor- tunity to thank our Alma Mater for placing among us that jewel, William Cuba Bryan. We feel that Mr. Bryan ' s wide experience in matters which we will not mention here, pre-eminently fits him for a student ' s guide, counselor and friend. Doubt- less Mr. Bryan ' s work at North- western will be seen fifty years hence. 128 Grinds florence fiarris H match ai tennis .9%k9 TENNIS court Of trampled clay.

WILL preface my reniaiks [this ' afternoon, young ladies, by telling you that the object of table etiquette is to teach one how to refrain from eating and show your good breeding. The usual order of meals in America is breakfast in the morning, lunch at noon, supper in the evening. You should not seat yourselves, young ladies, until your elders sit down. It would be far better that you stand during the entire meal than to be seated the least bit before your seniors. In drinking, the eyes should be fixed on the ceiling, with the thumb and second finger on the glass and the little finger curled from the second joint at an angle of 95 degrees. Never leave the spoon in the cup; even if the house is on fire it should be carefully removed before flight is made. At dinner, if you happen to have soup for the first course, insert the spoon horizontally, move it from you vertically, then raise steadily until its northeast corner touches the outer edge of the facial aperture. Bread should be broken over the plate, not over the knee. If any food is served which you do not desire, toy with it for a time and at the first opportunity slip it quietly up your sleeve or into your pocket, thereby deceiving your hostess. With this exception no food should be carried away from the table in concealment for future use. The hostess should have a sharp prod handy in order that she may keep the guests in the proper position at the table. If toadstools or strychnine are served, devour with a sweet smile and ask for more. It is exceedingly good form, young ladies, to consume a few pieces of soap, hairs, etc., that have strayed into the food, and all the time look pleasant. Now, I think that with a little practice you will find no difficulty in carrying out these few directions. The omission or non-compliance with any of these instructions will at once mark you as ill-bred. Now, are there any questions ? Should young ladies be on time to their meals ? Well, yes; still, haste is vulgar at all times, and young ladies should never run downstairs buttoning their shoes. Far better be late. If there are no more questions now, I will excuse the young ladies. 135 Interviews with tbe faculty on tbe Cbapel Cboir Bonhright — My inability to elucidate an opinion is based upon the fact that I never attend chapel. Very funny, isn ' t it? Hair n — The choir lacks a certain element of musical dexterity. Caldwell — A mere conformity to the principle that all should be drunk with music. Clark — The choir is like the man who knew only two tunes. One was ' Old Hundred ' and the other wasn ' t. He usually sang the one that wasn ' t. CoE — The philosophical spirit alone enables me to endure the incongruous phenomena by it accomplished. Crew — I should prefer to leave the solution of the matter for future experiment. It is too crude. Miss Freeman — I wish I knew some Scotch swear words HaTi ' IELD — The most conspicuous exponent of the noble science of harmonic concatena- tion, the recherche eraipia of the expurgated musical talent of the university, executed through the stick-to-it-ive mental process of the illustrious ego. HolgaTE — My feelings cannot be bounded by the cotangent of the horizon. LrTKiN — I don ' t go to chapel; I respect my ears. LE Daim — I am dumb. Marcv — Eh ! What ? Oh, I never heard of such a thing.

When she enters the nook where the violets grow The bluest ' mid greenest of grasses, From the lips of the whispering flowerets flow These low, mellow notes as she passes: Hail, Oueen of the Violets, beauteous maid!

Coeducation By Samuel Merwin. class men than- ,HE professor let his lank form slide down into my one rocking chair and crossed his legs. His face was paler than usual, and at short intervals he coughed — deep, rattling coughs. You don ' t look well, professor, I observed. What is the matter? He shot a quick glance at me, then assumed a sly expression. It is nothing, he replied. By the way, I should like to discuss a little matter which concerns your Syllabus. To my mind, a college organ should do more to encourage literary effort among the under- lie was interrupted by another sepulchral attack. Won ' t you take some quinine, professor? I said, knowing how prone he was to neglect himself. That cough is too serious a matter to be treated lightly. Will you kindly drop the matter? He spoke so sharply that I was taken aback and could only stammer: I beg your pardon. Very well. As I was saying, it seems to me that There was another fit of coughing, this time lasting so long that I was alarmed. It seemed hardly proper to pound a professor on the back, so I looked at him helplessly. Finally I said: How did you get such a cold? To my astonishment the professor rose to his feet and fairly glared down at me. You will oblige me by refraining from cheap witticisms, he said angrily. This startled me so that I rose, too. Really, professor, I began, I fail to see how I have — Oh, nevermind, never mi I forgot myself. Come to think, of course you couldn ' t have known. To be frank, lam a bit sensitive on the subject. Then, drawing his chin into his col- lar, he added: I perceive that I owe you an apology. This was a puzzle. You certainly are mysterious, I said, trying to speak lightly, for there was still the shadow of a cloud about his eyes. He sat down again and began to rub his spectacles with his handkerchief. I suppose I may as well tell you, — he spoke in an absent manner— but of course you will understand that it is confidential. I bowed. Well, co-education is the cause of this cold. I must have looked surprised, for he went on more quickly. Yes, sir, co-education. I ' ll tell you, this herding of young men and women together in 157 an indiscriminate mass never yet made either a good scholar or a stalwart man. You don ' t have it in England ? I asked. No, sir, we have always fought it. You see, it ' cheapens in either sex the proper appreciation of the ' other; and it is thoroughly antagonistic to that deep loyalty which makes the memory of college days so dear to the alumnus. I tell you, what we need here is more of the clan spirit; more of that love for alma mater which involuntarily doubles up a man ' s fist in her defense; more of the — the — er, where was I ? The cold, I suggested. Yes, yes. And that reminds me. Do you know, our gymnasium would be a disgrace to a christian science sanatarium. It is so old and draughty that the wind blows right through it. It is not properly kept up. The apparatus is old and out of repair, and the baths are all out of order. Really, I am astounded that the directors do not take some action. Surely it is enough to give one a cold, I said, for want of something better. Yes, he replied, as I was about to tell you. You will remember that yesterday was raw and windy. I spent the morning in the city; in consequence I reached home at noon with Chicago dust and grime ground deeply into the exposed portions of my body. As I had no work after lunch until the four o ' clock class, I decided to go down early in the afternoon and take a shower bath. At the gymnasium ? I asked. Yes. Why, yesterday was ladies ' day. He gave me another sharp look. So I discovered, he said drily. I reached the gymnasium at about two o ' clock. As the lake wind was keen, I decided to hurry a little. I went into the farther dressing room — at the extreme east end of the building — undressed, and for fear of sneak thieves, placed all my clothes in an empty locker and closed the door. Then I took my towel and went back through the other dressing room to the baths. As I had seen no one when I entered, I natur- ally inferred that I was the only occupant of the building. I found that one of the two shower baths was badly out of order. The connections were so imperfect that only cold water responded when I turned the cock. The other was somewhat better. Apparently there was plenty of hot water, so I went in and closed the door, fastening the catch. You will remember that the doors extend but a little higher than a man ' s head, and that the lower end is cut off five or six inches from the tiling. I took particular notice of this lower opening, for a cold draught continually played about my feet. The professor paused and held his spectacles up to the light, then placed them upon his nose. Yes, he continued, it was very cold. But to go on. I finished my bath, but delayed for a moment to turn off the water. I found that I could not prevent a steady dribble from the shower, which was unfortunate, for in a short time, of course, the hot water would all run out of the boiler, and those who wished to bathe later in the day would be compelled to use the cold. I pulled at the faucet for several minutes but was unable to stop the drip. Pausing for breath, I was startled by the unmistakable voice of a woman — a young woman. While she was speaking she went into the dressing room next to the baths. She was followed by dozens of others, for in a few moments the two rooms were filled with silly, giggling girls. At first I hoped that they would see my clothes and take the hint, but then I remembered that everything I had was hidden in a locker. For one rash instant I was tempted to call out and frighten them away, but second thoughts were more moderate. As their numbers increased they began to fill the bath room, and then I was seized with the fear that my feet were visible. I crowded as far back against the rear wall as I could, and placed my feet in the corners; but 158 even then I knew that the girls could see the tell-tale members by stooping a little. You will remember that there are small metal strips at the rear of the side walls, a few inches from the bottom. I tried resting my feet upon those, in a posture suggestive of the Colossus of Rhodes, but that made it necessary to hold on at the top with both hands in plain sight. At last, in despair, I wrapped the towel around my feet and stood back against the rear wall very straight. At least, they could see nothing worse than the towel. Then the inevitable occured. The steady drip from the circular shower above me began to turn cold. It grew worse and worse, until I seemed to stand in a drizzle of iced water. Yes, it was very cold. He stopped and gazed at the ceiling with a far-away look. How did you get out ? I asked, after a long pause. That, he replied, that was the worst part of it. I stood there without moving until I thought that I should never be able to move again. Girls came and went. A troop of them went upstairs and seemed to go through some drill, to judge from the regular tramp on the floor above. There were times when all about the bath room was still, but I could not venture out because it was impossible to know how soon they would return. At last, however, when I was all but frozen, they all returned and seemed to be dressing. Now, while they were upstairs it had been comparatively easy for me to stand motionless, but the minute they re-entered the rooms I seemed to be afflicted with St. Vitus ' dance. I slipped and slopped about on the tiling until I was in an agony of fear. Then, too, the long exposure to the cold air and water had its effect, and I knew that I had taken cold. I could feel a tickling and looseness in my throat. At last I was siezed with an overmastering desire to sneeze. I tried every method I could think of to prevent it. I drew deep breaths, I pressed my upper lip, I held my nose, I drank half a pint of the falling water, but it was of no avail. I made one final effort and then sneezed. And I continued to sneeze until I feared that I never should stop. The girls shrieked and screamed and scampered until the uproar was appalling. But at last the sounds of the panic died away in the distance, and I stole out, and, wet as I was, slipped into my clothes; for the towel was wetter than I. I tiptoed to the door, let myself out, and slipped around to the beach. Then, as well as my stiffened muscles permitted, I sauntered toward the life saving station. On the way I met a group of the girls huddled together by the breakwater. I knew them by their frightened faces. Did you get to your recitation? I asked. No, he replied, the savage gleam returning to his eyes. As I reached Sheridan road the university clock struck five. And then the professor fell into such a hard fit of coughing that I had to help him to his room . ' 59 Bis Sacrifice Prize 8-line Poem. By Helen Arthur, ' oi. What shall you give up for Lent?

Wasn ' t it pleasant, O chum of mine, In those old days of our youth ' s sunshine At college — when Friday ' s tasks were through, And Monday ' s work in general, too, And we went calling, me and you, At Old Northwestern ? It all comes back like a dream today, Though time grows old, and we are gray — With scarlet tie, pointed shoes and cane, We saunter off to the Sem again, As gay as the sunbeams after rain, At Old Northwestern. 1 60 We cross the campus, and stop to look At that century oak with its famous crook. Which has watched the coming and going, too, And heard the troths of the lovers true As they passed each day to class review At Old Northwestern. By the college hall to the lake we go, Where the restless waves, surging to and fro, Beat in rhythmic time to each heaving breast, Impatient now for that perfect rest In claiming the one he loveth best, At Old Northwestern. Why, I see it now, the campus, wide, The oaks, the halls, the dancing tide, The tender words, the smiles — ah, me ! What a glorious sight for a youth to see ! What a glorious thing for a youth to be At Old Northwest But O, my comrade, what foolish tears ! Why wander alone through these gloomy years ? That heart you won with a college pride, That maid you ' trothed near the water ' s side Is waiting still to be your bride, At Old Northwestern 161 fier Blue SbirMUaist BY HELEN ARTHUR, ' oi Of gowns my lady has a score, Each time I see her there are more, The one of all that I adore, Is her hlue shirt-waist.

Have you heard of the wonderful riding machine, The greatest contrivance that ever was seen, In color, a dingy and dirty black-green ; Devised by an architect cunning and keen — As frisky and fresh as a boy in his teens — Fright ' ning the faculty into fits, Scaring the students out of their wits, The wheel that belonged to Bobby, I mean? Eighteen hundred and seventy-two, Crime of seventy-three in view ; Following year, they put it through. That was the time the rascals were tryin ' To knock silver out (so says Bill Bryan); And General Grant, with flags a-flying, Was re-elected, Greeley dying. ' Tvvas the day that Pyle invented Pearline That Bobby finished his noted machine. Now, speaking of safeties, I tell you what, There ' s always somewhere a weakest spot, In rim, tire, bearings, in spoke or frame, In saddles and sprockets of every name, In chain, valves, handlebars, much the same In every wheel since the safety came. And that ' s the reason, beyond a doubt, That a wheel breaks down and does ' nt wear out. 163 fe fSife But Bobby swore (as Profs, all do), With just a mild Greek oath or two, He ' d build a wheel that, by his plan, Would beat the best there was in the land. He ' d have one that was kind o ' grand. For, said the Prof., it ' s very clear That I must get in society here, And the way to doit, as now appears, is only just To travel along with the ' Upper Crust. ' ' So, in he went to a city store, Through the crowded streets with their busy roar, And bought a frame for a V or more. This he took to a blacksmith ' s shop, And changed from a diamond into a drop. With nuts of iron and bolts of steel, He fastened the stern to an old cart wheel And the bow likewise to an ancient reel. Tires of garden-hose cut up small ; No one else could use it at all. Step and handles, spokes and brake, Chain of his own particular make — All of scrap-iron — they took the cake. Saddle of sole-leather, thick and tough, Bag and grips of the same strong stuff. That was the way he put her through. There, said Bobby, now she ' ll do ! Do ! You bet you ! I rather guess She was a corker and nothing less ! Preps, grew seniors, Clark grew bald ! Papa, the Prof, began to be called. The Dean took charge of Woman ' s Hall, But the wheel still stood on this mundane ball, Not a thing the matter at all. Eighteen-eighty ! It catne, and found The Prof ' s great masterpiece strong and sound. Eighteen-eighty increased by two! Despite its age, it still looked new. Eighteen hundred and ninety came — Ridden as usual, much the same. Six more years at a rapid gait ; Then ninety-seven and ninety-eight ! But the wheel is still in perfect repair — Except for a fracture here and there. The rim is just as strong as the frame, And the spokes are just as strong as the chain. And the bearings still are sound to the core, And the back wheel just as strong as the fore, And the handlebars neither less nor more. 164 First wash-day in March ! Get out the Pearline ! Here conies Bobby astride of his ancient machine, With his back straightened up in absolute torture, He pedals along like a regular scorcher, Reading Herodotus down on the way, Gaining in culture along with his play, And all without the slightest delay, Winter or summer, December or May. This morning, however, the Prof, was vexed. The word-lists ' mastered, he said perplexed, What, by Zeus, shall I give them next? All of a sudden he felt a shock, As though perhaps he had struck a rock. Then came a crack, a crash and a knock, As he fell in the street in a mingled heap Of wheel and books and mud knee-deep. When the Prof, arose he began to weep, For there lay his pet all gone to smash, The handlebar bent, the rear wheel mashed. He couldn ' t have got a quarter cash For the mass that lay there after the crash. You know of course, without my say, That the wheel couldn ' t run for ever and aye. So, when a reduction in price was made, And wheels of even the highest grade Sold for half of what had been paid, The Masterpiece, feeling its days were o ' er, Took the shortest cut to the other shore. End of the wheel, like Soloman Grundy, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. Chen and now By Hei En Arthur, ' or.

Exceeding nerve had made Joe Hunter bold, And to the high and mighty in the room he said: Who art thou writing up? The vision raised its head, And, with a look made of all reserve, Replied: Those that a column or two deserve. And am I one? said Joe. Nay, not so, Answered the other. Joe spoke more low, But cheerily still, and said: I pray thee mention That I shall give football my attention. The reporter wrote and vanished. The next night He came again with loads of coin bright And showed the names of those with writings blessed, And lo!

I wouldn ' t have cut to-day if I hadn ' t had a note from Aunt Eliza saying she would be out here this morning, and, as I am to meet her at twelve, I really felt the need of a little preparation, as it were. You don ' t know aunt Eliza? HE: Haven ' t the pleasure; but I ' m awfully grateful to her for indirectly causing you to accept the solace of my charming society for an hour. She: Oh, don ' t flatter yourself; you weren ' t on the programme at all. You are only an extra. He: First extra, at any rate. She: Don ' t be ridiculous. Let ' s sit down here on this dear little peninsula, or what- ever it is, and look at the lake. Isn ' t it beautiful this morning? Don ' t sit there; you can ' t see it. He: Views are a matter of taste, you know. For my part I prefer this one. He gazes at her with a calm impertinence which she thinks best to disregard. She (after a pause): What a heavenly day! He: Rather warm for the end of May, don ' t you think? She: Sounds like a reception or a first call, don ' t it? He: What? Oh, our talking about the weather. Yes, decidedly. It ' s a useful subject, but hardly necessary in our case, I should think. Whose scalp are you wearing now, Marjorie? That ' s more interesting. She (crushingly): What do you mean ?

He doesn ' t care forme a bit — like all the rest of them. It ' s all that horrid money. I wish Aunt Eliza would leave it to endow an asylum, as she once thought of doing. He (with gravity): Surely you don ' t imagine that the fact of your being your aunt ' s heiress is the only charm you possess, do you, Marjorie? She: Oh, well, I am not positively ugly, and occasionally have an idea or two, but I am neither beautiful nor brilliant, and when I realize that fact I am naturally somewhat doubtful of the disinterestedness of my — friends. ' Money hath charms, ' you know. They are both silent for a while, she gazing off at the horizon, a touch of sadness in her expression, and he carefully examining the lining of his hat. Presently he speaks, quietly, and still without looking at her. He: I don ' t know whether or not young Wendell and those others asked you to marry them, but, if they did, they were cowards and not men. With perhaps one exception they none of them have anything to look forward to but what they make for themselves in whatever business they enter after leaving college, and I cannot see how any self-respecting man could ask a girl to share her fortune with him — when the fortune has seven figures to it, at any rate. She (looking at him and speaking with some excitement): But, suppose the man should really be very clever and soon get well along in his profession; and suppose he cared for the girl very much, and she— do you think the money would make any difference then? He: All the difference in the world. A rich wife and a poor husband are in unnatural relations toward each other and toward the world. Oh, I can ' t argue the point, Marjorie. I can only give you my opinion on it. Perhaps it is only a question of pride, after all. But don ' t you think I am right? He looked at her with a challenge in his glance that is promptly met. She: Quite right. He smiles and lies back in the grass, his arms folded across his face. She looks at him doubtfully, the color flushing and fading in her cheek. There is a long silence. Below, at the foot of the cliff, the little waves run up the beach and linger down again with a soft, continuous murmur; overhead the new-leaved treetops, dancing to a flickering breeze, send back a landward echo. After a while she says his name softly. He (sitting up): I beg your pardon, Marjorie; did you speak to me? She (bringing her words out with a rush): I just wanted to ask you if you knew tiie conditions under which I am to inherit Aunt Eliza ' s money. He: Conditions? No; what are they? 1 68 She (turning away her head and speaking so hurriedly that he has to lean toward her to understand I: Why, only that if I marry before I am twenty-three I don ' t get the money. It goes to some charity or other; the asylum, perhaps. He (solemnly): Marjorie, how old are you? She (faintly): Twenty-one last August. He looks at her for one breathless moment, then suddenly laughs aloud and goes down on one knee before her. He: Marjorie, will you marry me — to-day? She (coming back first to the necessities of life): Jack, dear, we simply must «o back. I know it ' s nearly twelve and Aunt Eliza will be furious if she has to wait. He: She ' ll be more furious still when she hears why she had to wait. He picks up a book from the grass and a note falls from it. She: That ' s Aunt Eliza ' s note. Doesn ' t she write a queer hand ? He (glancing at the sheet): Rather rickety, isn ' t it? But look here, Marjorie, this says eleven — ' will meet you in the president ' s office at eleven. ' 1 My dear girl, that elderly female has been awaiting your advent for the last hour. Of all the He pauses and regards her with sudden suspicion; she blushes guiltily; light dawns[upon him. Marjorie, you — you angel; you knew it was eleven all the while. Well, I improved the shining hour. They go back across the campus. In the lee of Swift Hall there is a pause and a slight altercation. She: Jack, stop; how dare you? What if somebod}- should come? And Aunt Eliza waiting all this while! Just once, then. And the tower clock on University Hall strikes twelve. Coves Iftaytime By A. W.

While from its station in the hall An ancient timepiece says to all, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! Just beneath the stairs it stands, And points and beckons with its hands, While from the glass behind the weight Many a girl, a trifle late, Catches a smile that seems to say, With a comforting voice as she goes her way, Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! Sometimes its voice is slow and composed, But when the classroom doors are closed, Distinct as a football rooter ' s call, It echoes along the vacant hall, Along the ceiling, along the floor, And seems to say at each classroom door, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! Through days of gladness and days of grieving, Through days of entering and days of leaving, Through every swift vicissitude Of dread ex time unchanged it has stoo d, As if like a Prof. the results it knew, It calmly repeats those words anew, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! 170 In that hall you still can see Youth, and joy, and jollity; The men still block up all the way, The girls squeeze through as best they may ; But, like a guardian of the peace, That soothing voice doth never cease,— Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! There groups of freshmen frightened strayed, There junior youth and soph ' more maid. O precious seconds ! magic spell Before the recitation bell ! Even as a mother warns her child, Distinct its words, yet soft and mild, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! All will scatter soon and flee, Some may leave us, it may be, And when I ask with throbs of pain, Oh! when shall they all meet again? With voice that soothes my anxious cry The ancient timepiece makes reply, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry! From that room ( by number, one ) On entrance day the freshmen come; There in the room just down the hall The senior ' s fate awaits them all; And standing, halting, frightened there They hear the old clock by the stair, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hum- ! Don ' t hurry now, nor worry then, Since some care needs must come to men, And when the wrinkles crease your brow, Don ' t hurry then, nor worry now. The old clock of the University, Sayeth this incessantly, — Don ' t hurry, nor worry ! Don ' t worry, nor hurry.

N time gone by, a rustic mouse Invited a friend to his country house. The host was blunt, and rough as well, The guest was polished, a city swell. Though neither oats, nor bacon, nor preserves were spared, The visitor found nothing for which he cared. While the head of the house, on fresh straw extended, Left carefully, that for the guest intended. The meal being over, the citizen quoth, To me it ' s strange that you ' re not loath, To live here so quietly all your life, Ignorant of cities ' hurry and strife. Since death comes surely to small and great, ' Tis urgent that you no longer wait The unknown pleasures of the world to try. So live happy to-day, for to-morrow you die. The rustic, persuaded, follows his friend, And together their way to the city they wend. Having stolen at midnight ' neath the city wall, They at last set foot in an ivoried hall. There dainties, in baskets of every size, Remains of a feast, met their eager eyes. Upon crimson tapestry, the very best, The adroit host now serves the rustic guest. The latter tasting each dish, nor twice of the same, Reclines, feasting at ease, and is glad he came. Suddenly rings the house with mastiff ' s bark, Ending abruptly the pleasant lark. With an awful jar the folding doors shake, And the hearts of the mice most pitif ' lly quake. In terrible fright they rush round the room, And the peasant now wishes himself at home. Then spake the rustic to his city friend, I trust my departure will not offend, And, hoping to you it ' s all the same, I ' ll hie me home, to a life more tame. For a life like this I ' ve no desire, But one in the country more admire. There in my wood, and my cave, I ' ll be sure, From surprises like this, to rest secure. 175 Cbe Awkward Squad By H. V. Ward. HEY ' RE not very much in the social swim, They don ' t attend Pan-Hell; They haven ' t the pile, nor yet the style, To ever be quite dead swell. But here ' s to the awkward squad, The fellows without the wad; At the first of the race they set no pace, But power ' s in their steady plod. They ' re a kind of heterogeneous gang, With a mixed and mingled garb; There ' s some of ' em rough and there ' s none of ' em tough, So they ' re most of ' em cut for a barb. Then here ' s to the motley throng, The fellows who scrape along; The}- don ' t look gay, but they ' ve sand to stay, And some will finish strong . Their work is of multifarious kinds, From preaching to peddling books; But their way is made and their bills are paid, If they have to wait on cooks. So here ' s to the boy with a job; The fellow who can ' t be a snob; It ' s against the grain and a terrible strain. But its odds he ' ll distance the mob. They ' re not on colloquial terms with the profs, They never make much of a show; For a man can ' t grind with the fear in his mind That next week he may have to go. But hefe ' s to the bunch in the rear, The fellows who get no cheer; It hurts like sin, but they keep it in, And thev smile to cover a tear. Oh, the world will cheer for the men who win, And tell how the running was done; But a bit of a brace in the worst of the race Nerves a man for the finishing run. So here ' s to our nervy throng, By themselves they struggle along; And many who quit have just as much grit As those who finish strong. 176 the Academy editorial Board E- L. Goodrich D. P.

M. ,UR new teachers — in fact, all our teachers, even to Mr. Le Damn, Cela va sans dire — consented, after lengthy discussions in faculty meetings, to have their picture taken for the Syllabus. When the photographer had them all arranged and was just telling them to look pleasant, Professor Morse cracked a joke. That broke the spell — even Mr. Stecker smiled. The photographer had scarcely succeeded in quieting them when some one re. marked that all in the front row were teachers of the classics, with the exception of Miss Grant. Oh, I don ' t know, she replied, There are classics— and classics. Then silence reigned and the photographer seized his opportunity and touched the button. They are certainly an intellectual looking group, and the new teachers form no small part of it. Now, there is Miss Cornstock — pardon me, Miss Comstock. She and Miss Sergeant, both Northwestern University graduates, have been very successful in teaching us first and second Latin. However, of late, we have noticed that their expression is one of settled con- viction when the} - say: All gall is divided into three parts. There is Mr. Le Daum, our French teacher from Harvard, looking as if he were going to squelch somebody. How do you know he is not? Well, in the first place, he can ' t squelch. In the second place, he wouldn ' t if he could. It isn ' t polite. Mr. Conner, another Northwestern University graduate, deserves special mention for the contented air which he has assumed thus early down among the preps. Indeed, to put it in his own words he is all things to all men. At the third year social, he ' s a third year; at the literary joint, he ' s an Kuphronian, and in Greek recitation, he ' s a dignified professor. Mr. Greenlaw is not so green as his name, even if he did graduate at Northwestern University only last year. He teaches English, and they say he is dignity personified in faculty meeting, but we don ' t believe it. These tales which they tell out of faculty meeting are not always to be depended upon. Mr. Stecker, from the University of Wisconsin, is our popular algebra instructor. It is not known where he smiled his first smile, but it is known where he smiled his last. Those wishing information will please see tabulated record avec connaissance dc cause kept by review algebra girls. Some of us new students were very much surprised to find that Mr. Jakeway, of Syracuse, was a new teacher. Of course the physics classes knew he was new, but he always went around with such a homelike expression on his face and seemed to know all the standing jokes (even looked expectant when Mr. Foreman got up to read the scripture in chapel) that we all supposed he had been here several years. There ' s nothing like adapting one ' s self to his surroundings. And Mr. Petrie: You see that prof ' s laughing, You think he ' s all fun, But his pupils laugh too (I don ' t think) At the bluffs they have sprung. Mr. Petrie graduated from Ann Arbor only last year and has already risen to the highest place of learning, or rather teaching, among the academy professors — room eleven. His mind is constantly upon his work and he invariably dismisses recitation by saying Good-by, I ' ll meet you at the intersection of the meridians. Our new teachers are ALL RIGHT. 182 at m UK i jj L «SI1 PftV J 1 pi) UBRAKY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Organizations v. m. 0. n. Officers President, - Mary Morris Vice President, - Ethel Goodrich Corresponding Secretary, Evalyn Livermore Recording Secretary, Daisy Andrews Treasurer, LiLUE Harrower N May of 1890 the Y. W. C. A., which seeks to develop Christian character in young women, was established in the Academy of Northwestern University. Since then it has gained a prominent place in the hearts and minds of the most earnest young women of the institution, and at present has an active member- ship of thirty-eight. One thing that the world needs is a more thoroughly consecrated young womanhood, and this is one of the aims of the association — to lead young women to dedicate themselves to God, and to inspiring their brothers and sisters to nobler living. Is it not true that women are expected to have the truest idea of life, and if they are not earnest and religious can the Christian standard of the school be expected to be very high ? Certainly no one can doubt that the Young Women ' s Christian Association has a God-given place in college, since it seeks to lift the young women to a higher type of womanhood, and by lifting them it lifts the entire student body to nobler purposes and to a higher plane of life. A complete account of the work of the association cannot be given here but all that has been done, and is being done, is recorded in Heaven, and the richest blessings are being poured upon the efforts of the members to make the work abide and increase. Within the past year four representatives were sent to the Summer Conference at Lake Geneva, Wis., and thus the work has been strengthened because it has come in close touch with other associations and with the leaders of the International Association. An impetus has been given to the missionary work because three young women represented the association at the Student Volunteer Convention at Cleveland, Ohio, this year and came vitally in touch with the mission work in the different fields of the world, and learned more about the great student volunteer movement for foreign missions. The Bible classes and prayer circles are great towers of strength in the spiritual life of the members. Great interest is being shown in these classes and circles. The Sunday morning meetings are interesting and helpful, and the work is being carried on, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts. •85 Organizations v. m. e. h.

Hamilton fl tf HE greater pari of the one hundred and ten yonng men who constitute the Y. M. C. A. have a place in the effort to fulfill the purpose of the Y. M. C. A., as expressed in its constitution— to promote growth in grace and Christian fellowship among its members, and aggressive Christian work, especially by and for students; to train them for Christian service, and to lead them to devote their lives to Jesus Christ, not only in religious callings but also in secular pursuits. By careful planning, the religious meetings have been made of increasing interest and worth, the leaders being chosen principally from the students. The Bible study department has been effective, about fifty men having been enrolled in different lines of work. Interest in this work has been maintained by earnest teachers and close organization of the committee, and a good foundation has been laid for future years. The peculiar developing force of the state convention was recognized, eleven men being sent by the association. It has been the purpose of the association to interest its members in all activities inci- dent to school life in which the principle of right is the ruling principle or in which it can be made so. Believing the Christian life to be a power which shall be felt, rather than a theory for learned discussion, members have been urged to turn that power to practical use in making strong and pure all departments of school life which have a right to claim attention, using this means to drive out whatever cannot make that claim. 1S6 Pbilomatbia Citerary Society Organized 1868 motto LABOR OMNIA VINCiT Veil AGOMEN!

LLINOIS is noted for its educational institutions, of which the majority is scattered thickly over the northern part of the state. It would be an endless task to take those numerous institutions of learning and explain them in detail, one by one. And so, to be brief, I will take up the Northwestern University, which is situated on Lake Michigan, just north of the city of Chicago. Northwestern is one of the largest and most thorough institutions of its kind in the great west. The class of men which you find there is not to be excelled anywhere in either mental or physical strength. But there is one department of this school which deserves the sympathy of all. Down along the lake shore is a dilapidated and rickety old frame building which has about reached that stage when it may be called ancient. And this is what is known by all as the academy. There is one organization of this department which I would like to take up and discuss in detail. The Philomathian Literary Society is the oldest literary society in the academy and she has for her members men of the highest literary . Vand athletic standing. It is needless to say anything in regard to their moral and social standing. Philo in the past has trained and educated men who have developed into men of much importance in both political and educational institutions, while those who now occupy her stately hall promise to follow the footsteps of their predecessors and to maintain and increase the excellent record established by them. Among those who are now members of Philo are : Dwigans, who is supposed to be the best authority on all money matters; the Lemery brothers, who never fail to make their point in debate; Matteson, who is unexcelled in the line of criticisms; McClin- ton, Barnes and Falloon, although coming all the way from Canada partly to receive the good which they can from Philo, can hold their own against anyone in extemporaneous debate; Johnston, who is reckoned as one of the best tenor singers in the academy; Winslow, who is of life-saving fame; Herring, who resembles so nearly Northwestern ' s greatest football captain; Case and Trefz, who are of Fem. Sem. renown; Touchdown Smith, the man of lilac locks who once scored a lone touchdown; Campbell, who is unexcelled in writing essays; Baird, who is the son of a school teacher; Robinson, who is fleet of foot; and there is Miller, the man who plays the organ; Roloff, who is at the head of his class in Latin; Mies, who never fails to win his debate; King is the authority on all foreign affairs, while Kappleman can beat any man in his class in a bicycle race; Parkinson and Cheuveront are recognized authorities on problems containing x, y, z; Bahrenburg, who is expert in the line of photograph)-; Brown and Eliot, who are considered two of the best half-backs in Northwestern; Bray and Reay are leaders of their class in English literature; Gamer, who holds the record for fast reading; Professor Le Daum, who is a favorite of all; the Agnew brothers, who are never absent; Merrell and Groves, who are among the best students in Grecian history; Runyard, who is considered expert in waiting upon a table; Harnden, Hard and Wright, who are among the biggest men in the academy; Wolf, whose knowledge as a mechanic is something wonderful; Howe, who is put down as one of the best-looking men in the academy; Putnam and Cameron, whose futures are exceedingly bright; Wilson, who leads his class in physiology; and last, but not least, the great Denny P. Lemen, who promises to be one of America ' s greatest politicians some day. And now you have heard concerning them all, and no doubt you will decide that a finer crowd of bovs will be very hard to find. i8q Organizations eupbronia Organized 1872.

Others have by their influence molded the decisions of innumerable minds. Some have possessed a wonderful genius for organization. Here and there may be found one who held personal ends above honor and patriotism and became a traitor to his country. The pages of history reveal but one man who possessed in the highest degree all the above characteristics. That man is Zebek Dorchi. A Tartar chieftian under the mightiest of Christian thrones, actuated by motives of ambition and personal revenge, he conceives and puts into execution a gigantic scheme. This main fact, which looms up like a mountain peak in his thrilling career, is nothing less than the revolt of an entire Tartar nation and their subsequent flight from Russian vengeance across the boundless steppes of Asia to the protecting shadow of the great Chinese wall. Death and destruction lurked behind every step and turn of the undertaking. Nothing less than genius of the highest order could have started and kept in motion such a terrific storm of disastrous events. From the moment when the exodus began until the dismal day of its close, the terrors of hunger and cold, the bitter hostility of surrounding tribes, and the relentless fury of the pursuing legions all combined to crush the fleeing nation. At every point of critical danger the marvelous foresight of Zebek Dorchi was sufficient to avert complete disaster. His political ability was manifested in the preliminary steps of the of the revolt. His keen discernment of men was illustrated in his choice of confidants and leaders. The almost instantaneous inception of the flight throughout the entire realm proves his wonderful talent for organization. And the numberless battles and victories which dyed red the trail across the desert is ample evidence of his military prowess. Such a panorama of suffering and of horrors is greatly to be deplored, even when the cause of liberty or justice demands it. But when resulting from the personal hatreds and ambitions of one man, language fails to express the enormity of his crime ! Such misuse of power is unpar- alleled in human history and constitutes the most striking tragedy of ancient or modern times. Looking backward at the black career of this talented man, the interesting query arises: What might he not have accomplished if he had used his power for the highest good of his fellow countrymen? A careful retrospective view reveals the magnificent possibilities that once were within his reach. His political ability could have united the numerous Tartar tribes in one strong central government. Through his talent for organization, a powerful military system might have been maintained. His executive ability was amply sufficient to place him at the head of national affairs. And thus, rightly using his marvelous endowment of genius, Zebek Dorchi might have built up for himself a throne of Tartar dominion surpassing even the great empire of Russia in extent and power. 192 Organizations Zctalctbia Literary Society Organized 1890. motto PER NOTUM IGNOTUM Colors PINK AND PALE BLUE Veil RAH !

Radicalism is abroad, making little things larger, bad things good, the oest things to move toward perfection. It sweeps a village into a Chicago, a bleak lake shore into a blooming park, an old building into a stately new structure. From their sources things must travel far to reach perfection. Radicalism is to this evolution what ambition is to man ; it is ' the spirit that exchanges the pony- express for the ligthning telegraph, the fireplace for the furnace, Franklin ' s kite-string for the ocean cable. The new always destroys the old. Of all the costly machines exhibited at the world ' s fair of 1857 not one reappeared in 1S93. All had been destroyed by new improvements. So vested inter- ests oppose the inventor, and the reformer must fight his way. Ours is a world where progress [is through ruin and death. Men rise upon the ashes of the past. In nature ' s transformations the butterfly rends the cocoon, but nature does not lament the dead husk. In man ' s life the new inspiration can be preserved only by forgetting the past. Despite all unwise protests, old ideas, old forms, old customs are passing away, and man is rushing with a mighty whirl toward his primeval purity. There is but one place where quietude and permanency are found — that is the grave. Every- where men are awakening from their conservatism and are basking in the light of progress. The watchword of thinking humanity is Action ! Action ! Radical action ! Throughout the ages conservatism has blindly opposed all novelty. Let us glance back- ward through nineteen hundred years of darkness, battle fields and chaos into a time when the world, under the blighting influences of conservatism, was retrograding toward a darkness equal to that when the world was drowned. Then it was that radicalism sprang to the rescue in the form of a natural, yet supernatural being, the acme of whose glory is yet to come, but which is as sure as the word of God is valid. In the youth of history we find the first radical drinking the fatal hemlock. Again, amid the most detestable treachery and corruption, a man contested for a radical idea that added a new world to the globe. Radicalism fled the Stigian darkness of monarchy, and established the Union ; and in ' 61-6, when the ship of state, lashed by the mad waves of civil war, was drifting upon the rocks of disunion, radicalism pointed out a safe harbor, the true issue, and the emancipation proclama- tion set the millions free. But, if this gigantic element has done a great work in the past, how grand is its mission in the present ! The battle cry of radicalism is permeating all Europe. It reverberates among the snow clad peaks of the Iberian peninsula, sounding the death knell of the Inquisition ; it seconds the roar of Vesuvius in the ear of the startled Pope, a prisoner in his own domicile ; at its sound the haughty Czar of all the Kussias shrinks within his bands of servile soldiery ; it has penetrated the Alps, where Switzerland receives it as manna to the hungry Jew. Over the ruins of conservative China stands the energetic Japan, the personification of radicalism in the nineteenth century. Cuba is breaking the last shackles that bind her to sinking Spain ; the grasping avarice of the British lion is staid in West and in East ; great canals are projected and vessels built ; railroads invade Palestine and the Sahara ; terial navi- gation trembles upon the verge of consummation ; a quarter of a hundred submarine cables flash from nation to nation the news of industry, progress and peace. While we are still far from, but rapidly Hearing perfection, would it be presumptuous to hope that ere the close of the next century, through the promulgation of all the sublime forces of radicalism, invention, free schools, republicanism, progress and religion, we shall be measurably nearer that prophetic period, the universal brotherhood of man and the universal fatherhood of God? ■95 Organizations Che Tiling Citerary Society Organized 1S96. motto FOR THOUGHT AND THE POWER OF EXPRESSION.

I fe AlS- LL Illinae is divided into three parts, of which one part is called the Bonse, another the Meliores and the third, which in their own language are c alled the Ambitious, in ours the Optimse. All these, in their use of language and parliamentary rules, differ from each other. Of all these, the most highly developed are the Optimse, because, from blufling and flunking they are the farthest away and least often by them are the programme committees repulsed. Nearest they are to the profs who in almost impenetrable clouds of dignity dwell, and to whom they daily resort in order that they may relieve their over-taxed brains. The Meliores surpass the remaining Illinium physical strength, because, by means of their military skill and almost daily exercise at the gym, they are able to keep out from their boundaries the most powerful ambassadors. The Bonn. ' , who are called the third part, sometimes bring in those things which tend to weaken the mind. They put to flight the programme committees and rebuke the treasurer for asking their absence fees. Nevertheless, by the influence of weekly sessions the} ' are persuaded • to give up those characteristics and are soon numbered among the Meliores, and finally among the Optimse. The Illicit ' take their rise from the bottom of innumerable steps that slope toward the stars and the rising moon. For this reason, less widely they wander and less easily ambassadors are able to come to them. For this reason, mem- bers fond of the ground floor with great grief and loss of breath are affected. Nevertheless, in proportion to their number and in proportion to their age and experience, although their boundaries are high and narrow, yet in the glory of debate and or„iorv, as well as in situation and name, they are all Optimse. Their motto is: Room at the top. , 9 S Wins Organizations iiliih apologies to the Huthor of Che Bridge ' Bv Katherine O ' Conner. HILE sitting in my cottage room. As the clock is striking the hour, And the mcon rises o ' er the lake, Behind our college tower, As the beautiful moonlight Silvers the room around me, I dream of past days in prepdom, Before paying college fee. I gaze away in the distance Of this lovely night in May, And think of times at Illinae, Before prep commencement day. Near by the college cottage The noted fern, sem. doth lie, And the room that they gave to Illinae — Well, it almost touches the sky. But we girls would climb the steep stairways On every Friday night, Then would listen to fine programmes, Which ne ' er could but delight. And like the rush at chapel Along the narrow aisles, A flood of thoughts come o ' er me That drive away college trials. How often, oh, how often, In the days that have gone by, I had wished, as I climbed the stairways, An elevator was nigh.  How often, oh, how often, On the programmes my name was placed For essays, debates and other things, Which now can never be traced. For when I first joined Illime To debate made life seem drear, And when I stood on the platform, At first I shook with great fear. But soon that great fear fell from me, It lies buried in the past, For oh, the training of Illinae Is something that e ' er will last. My thoughts are turned also to Caxton And the prize which Grace has won, The Circuit News, which was edited, And Dr. Fisk ' s words, well done. I think how ambassadors from Societies of men, Each bearing a message or greeting, Ne ' er gained admission then. The cruel regulations The boys thought were not right; They could not hear our programmes On a single Friday night. So, gliding over life ' s river, After college days are past, I ' ll think how Baby Illinae Has grown so very fast. For as the star of life in prepdom Illinae will e ' er appear, A developer of girls ' talents, And making their future so clear. 199 Athletics Baseball team H. O. Panhorst . . Captain A. E.

The speaker, a swartby-faced woman, has long before lost all those fem- inine graces which command the admiration of man. Her face is wrinkled with age, and the mass of unkempt hair hangs down her shoulders. As she sits atone end of the tent on a bundle of bed-clothes, there is some- thing weird in her appearance. A pair of piercing black eyes, which glare out of their sunken depths, has a peculiar fascination for the girl at her side. By degrees her listener has become roused to a high pitch of excitement, and, as the concluding sentence is uttered, an indefinable dread takes possession of the girl. Now, with a sigh of relief the visitor rises to depart. Thinking of the ominous warning of the gypsy she hurries along, glad to get away from the camp which at first she thought so attractive. Presently, as the sun is setting, she arrives at the place known as Here she pauses, and for a moment the cloud disappears from her face as she recalls the words spoken here just a week before. She looks again at the engagement ring in order to make sure that she is not dreaming, but the sight of the jewel serves only to associate the coming marriage with the gypsy ' s words: You are about to take somefatal step. Can it be true ? The thought is unbearable ! How can she now give up her cherished hopes ? But in her excited state she can think of no other meaning, so by the time she arrives at home she decides to heed the warning. The house which she is approaching was built for a creamery. The basement is used for the manufacture of butter and cheese, while the main floor is occupied by the family. Along the entire front of the building is a porch on which open three doors. At the second of these the milk is received and conducted to the basement. For convenience, then, the floor from off this door was not laid. As she is about to enter the gate she hears a familiar step, and, turning around, sees the one who has been occupying so large a share of her thoughts. The moon has now arisen, and as they walk along the quiet country road the girl would gladly drive from her memory that scene in the tent, but she cannot. Her companion wonders at her abstraction, and she tells him of her visit that afternoon to the gypsy camp. In vain he tries to dissuade her from what he terms her folly. Then, when he finds his words have no effect, he calls it a fit of obstinacy, and reproaches her for her faithlessness. This touches her feminine nature and, as additional words lead only to misunderstandings, they soon relapse into silence. Finally the unhappy pair reach home. Neither conjecture that the gypsy ' s prophecy will so soon be fulfilled. In their absorption they walk past the first door, and then bidding goodby in a constrained manner, he turns away, perhaps for the last time. Suddenly his steps are arrested by the screams of a girl, followed almost instantly by a splash like that of a body striking the water. Thoughts of what this strange occurrence means rush wildly through his mind. Perhaps she has stepped on a secret spring, and, falling to some underground stream, is even now being borne to her death ! However, forgetting now his disappointment and having no regard for his own safety, he leaps down into the darkness. To his relief he finds his footing, and hearing a gurgling sound to his left, he plunges in that direction and is overjoyed to find her unhurt. Lights are now brought and the pair realize their situation. She had only stepped into a large vat of buttermilk. J Scene from a novel (With apologies to W. E. McLennan.) By J. G. Chambers. T was night; and all was still, save for a hurrying, scurrying sound of footsteps, ever drawing nearer to the brink of a precipice that overhung the sea. The foremost figure was that of a man running for his life. Two dusky forms, with glittering knives in their teeth and paper collars around their ankles, followed swiftly, brandishing spears. Suddenly Percival stopped short in his flight, and drawing a roll of manuscript from his breast, cried, in a horseradish voice: Halt! But the savages came slowly on. Percival ' unrolled the manuscript in the moonlight, and read: Spring, beautiful Spring but no sooner had the first words fallen from his lips, than the native in advance dropped dead in his tracks, and the other barely had strength enough to crawl away. Percival gazed at them with a smile, and gurgled: I ' ve had my r-r-revenge! He replaced the manuscript in his pocket, and turned to go, when a writhing shape hurled itself upon him through the ambient atmosphere. It was a boa-constrictor! Horrors! Could he not save himself? He felt that fully one-half of his body was hanging in mid-air, over the cliff, when suddenly a thought struck him and threw him back from the edge of the abyss. But the immense serpent had a pull, and, throwing his tail around a projecting slice of stratum, he slowly pulled Percival back over the precipice. The young man ' s strength was slowly ebbing from his sleeves, but he struggled desperately. He gazed far beneath him, where he could see the sea leaping hungrily upward. Merciful heavens! He caught a glimmer of saw-like teeth far below. It was a shark waiting to snatch him under should he fall. He could not hold on much longer. The snake had coiled itself partly around the lower part of his body, and he held its head tightly between his knees, bnt it was slowly working loose. He thought of climbing back over the brink, but — ye gods! — as if in answer to his thought, he caught the fiery gleam of a panther ' s eyes! His breath came in short trousers! He was now confronted by three dangers, but the most pressing was the snake coils, so he decided to dispose of that first. (He had been hanging by his finger nails all this time.) The snake had almost freed itself — he must act instantly, if not sooner. He twisted around, and, by great exertion, got the reptile between him and the rock. Then, freeing one foot, he drove home, and stabbed it to the backbone with the toe of his pointed patent-leather shoe! Casting the snake into the sea, Percival felt that a gr eat weight had been lifted from him, and drawing his silk handkerchief from his pocket and wiping the cold perspiration from his feverish brow, he murmured in a husky voice with yellow rings around it: That ' s the time the pointed toe saved a life. But if my feet had been like those of Chicagoans! Horrors! The panther had crept stealthily up, determined to force Percival ' s hand. His hold was slipping; the panther was preparing to leap upon him, and the only thing to do was to drop. While falling through the air, Percival thought of the shark below, but there was no help for him now; he must take his chances. He struck the water with a thud, sending spray in all directions. When he came to the surface he looked around. The shark was floating belly upward, with the snake ' s tail protruding from its mouth. The watery monster had choked to death. Percival was now so tired that he could swim no longer, so he grasped the shark ' s body and used it as a buoy, until they drifted ashore. Carrying the shark ' s carcass and the snake. Percival crept up to the top of the cliff, deposited his burden on the ground, and, draw- ing his trusty penknife, he crawled behind the panther, and killed the carnivorous quadruped with one blow! He then skinned the panther and the shark, and, using the serpent as a rope he tied the serpent ' s skin over the flexible bones of the shark, and, on the flying machine thus constructed, flew home to his beloved, who had watched all from her window with a telescope. Reflections of a fourth year Tourth=Vcar Class Production. By F. E. Owen. FOURTH YEAR sat at his window, And thought of the days that were past; And he took up his pencil and paper, As his thoughts into this form were cast. I ' ve traveled all Prepdotn over, And now to the college I ' ll go, For I know they will gladly receive me, When the) - find out how much I know. I ' ve toiled from Caesar through Virgil, And finished the two years of Greek ; At Geometry, Physics and German, I likewise have taken a peep. I have no fear of Clark ' s English, It will be but a mere bagatelle ; For when under Miss Grant ' s careful guidance I studied this subject quite well. I ' ve written my fourth-year essays, And read them to wise Doctor Fisk ; And again, as I think of Clark ' s English, I ' m sure that I ' m running no risk. The moral side of my nature Has here been most carefully trained ; I ' ve been shown ever} ' Friday in chapel The goal that by me must be gained. There first I heard of tobacco, And the sin of using the weed ; And away from this habit the Doctor Endeavored my foot-steps to lead. The social side of my nature Would also have been up to-date, Had it not been for strict regulations Forbidding my staying up late. Most foolish, fond regulation That stops at eleven o ' clock, All the socials ; and justly at thee, do The fun-loving students all mock. Ah well, I have passed all my ex ' s, To-night is the commencement eve, I shall then with my heart beating highly, My sheepskin with honor receive. Oh Prepdom, farewell then forever, Though New Prep I ' d like to have seen; Yet Old Prep, in the hearts of thy children Thy mem ' ry shall ever be green ! 203 Cbc Royal Road third-year Class Production. By.G. S. Wilcox. OVV dear to my heart are the trees on the campus ! Their frost-covered branches outlined on the sky; ' The bleak, ice-bound strand by the lake in the winter, With waves dashing skyward in foam-crests so high. In springtime, when robins are dulcetly warbling, And perfume of violets enladens the air, The view down the vistas of sweet-smelling branches Ennobles the soul and alleviates care. Callow youth, in the heyday that ' s gliding so swiftly, Let gaining of knowledge and lore be thy creed. With thy prospects and hopes, in this Garden of Eden The roadway to learning is royal, indeed. (• ♦ T that €x. By Mary F. Wright. (• ♦ •i HE ex is long, and hard, and dreary; Time flies, and I am more than weary; My pen still travels the uncheering page, And at every word I am filled with rage, 7 And the ex is hard and dreary. To wait so long is hard and dreary; Time drags, and I grow very weary; My mind still travels the uncheering way, And my hopes of passing are less each day, For the ex was hard and dreary. Be still, sad heart ! and cease repining; The flunker ' s ex thou still may shine in; Thy fate is the common fate of all : Into each heart some fear must fall, Some ex must be hard and dreary. 204 Oration n Parody By George Bahrenburg. HARDLY think that I exaggerate when I say, that never since the founding of the academy has there been found a man better fitted for a great work than Keste r. You may say that I am partial to my schoolmate, but Rob Wilson, of the senior class, who hated a prep almost as much as he did an oratory student, when he visited Euphronia, and heard Kester, the dignified senior, opened wide his mouth and exclaimed: This is the man, those are the hands, the most proficient that teach penmanship to-day, and I think he knew what he was talking about. Owen could lead the singing in chapel; Rodman could make a mash on any girl; Swift could work Prof. Morse; Arthur Brown could hold Friday chapel spell bound with his oratory, and Panhorst could get a stand in with any of his teachers, but no one of these men could do more than that one thing. The wonder about Kester was that he could write better than Smiley; he could sway a prayer-meeting better than Gurney, and leave Professor Wilde far behind in a bicycle race. It has been my privilege to have heard all the great preps who have become singularly famed at and near their boarding houses. I know what was the athletic ability of Cater; I know what it is to be approached by my laundryman; I have seen eloquence in the brass logic of Frye, but all three of these men never surpassed, and no one of them ever equaled the great penmanship professor. Whenlwasin Joliet I asked Touchdown Smith, Is Herbert Kester a good prep? As good a prep as ever took first Latin, said he, and then he told me the following story : When, in 1873, Kester first entered the academy, the athletic association was so weak that it had only Agnew and myself to speak for it, and we agreed that when I spoke he should cheer me, and when he spoke I should cheer him, and these were the only cheers we ever got. One clay a large delegation of frat men (I think Hard said twenty-nine), who repre- sented Sigma Chi, Phi Kappa Sigma, and Beta Theta Pi, went to him and said, Kester, at last you are about to graduate from prep — if you will never go to the four-mile limit again with Dwigans and Case, we will give you the choice of join- ing either one of these frats. But if you work with those bibs, count us always against you. It was a terrible temptation. How many a so-called prep would have yielded ! Kester said, Dr. Rogers knows I speak for the brightest students in the whole university; but may my right hand forget its penmanship and my tongue cleave to the floor of my mouth, if but to desert the poor first years — even the second years, if I forget first Latin one single hour. 20 5 And then beside his irreproachable character, he had what is half the power of a pop- ular prep — he had a majestic presence. In youth he had the brow of a Hercules, and the stature of a Seed. A little Kester would have been no Kester at all. You remember the story Dr. Fisk tells us at Friday chapel, about Matteson, when he in the academy was trying to break up joint socials among the literary societies. Kester came to Friday chapel to protest, and five hundred preps came out to meet him. He lifted up his majestic presence before that sea of human faces, his brow charged with thunder and said: Ladies and gentlemen: I am a prep; a first-year prep; a Euphronian prep; a religious prep; a Northwestern prep; and if you do away with the joint sessions where shall we go to have a good time? And, says Snyder, We all held our breath, thinking where he could go. But, if Dr. Fisk had not been around, we would probably have said, confound you, go to the Female Seminary or the Cottage for your good times. Well, Kester had all that, and then he had what Hamilton never had, and what Dickey had, the magnetism and grace of conducting a Syllabus election. It would have been a pleasure even to look at him if he had not spoken at all, and all you thought of was a green-hound. And then he had, what so few prep speakers have, a voice that sounded the gamut. I heard him once in Heck Hall say, Preps, I send my voice careering like a threshing-machine across the campus, to tell my fellow men that X Y Z equals X Y Z and to remind the college senior that he need not think he owns a whole stock ranch when he gets a sheepskin. And I seemed to hear his voice reverberating and re-echoing back to the campus from the cottage, and then, with the slightest possible flavor of a first year prep, he would tell a story that would make all Friday Chapel laugh, and the next moment there were tears in his voice, like an old song, and five-hundred preps would be in tears. And all the while no effort— he seemed only breathing. 206 Che Battle: Jin Allegory By G. S. Wilcox. AST night I dreamed a wonderful dream! I found myself, of a sudden, in that weird land which is so fantastically evoked by tliat sub-conscious state of wakefulness in slumber. I was journeying through a wilderness, and was plodding steadily forward, recking neither of the stones in my path, nor of the thorns at my side; for I was determination. Pausing, at length, to take breath, I became suddenly aware that a vast concourse of beings, fearful, though familiar, was bearing down to crush and overwhelm me. For a moment I was filled with apprehension and dismay; then, seizing my trusty sword, Intellect, in both hands, I placed my back against a rock, and stood, with tightened girth and defiant mein, awaiting the advancing host. The}- approached with a steady and dignified tread, which tallied well witli their imposing appearance. As they drew nearer, I could see that they formed a well-ordered army, divided into three wings; and imagine my surprise and consternation when I discovered that they were commanded by my old enemies Leonidas Cresar and Vercingetorix! In the front ranks the fighting men were all intimate acquaintances, and seemed the more formidable on that account, as I thought that they knew my most vulnerable spots. Among these I noticed Adverbial Accusative in particular, leering at me with its ugly face, and driving me mad with vexation. To the rear, the faces, while less familiar, looked even more sinister. They were armed for the most part with long pikes (which looked suspiciously like dissecting needles), although some carried sharp-pointed triangles, or heavy steel cones. But that which struck terror deepest into my heart was the sable banner floating on the breeze, bearing, beneath a death ' s-head, the inscrip- tion: Oratio Obliqua! We fought hard and fiercely, hour after hour, and many a brave soul bit the dust and gave of his life-blood to quench the thirst of my faithful weapon; but at last my breath came in shorter and shorter gasps, and the bloody sweat oozed from my brow, for my strength was failing me and I felt that I must die. Just as I was about to suffer the degradation of utter defeat, I became conscious of the presence of a beautiful girl standing at my side, and urging me on to renewed effort. She told me that the world called her Inspiration. Thereupon, grasping my sword more firmly, I made a final rush at my enemies, struck their banner to the earth, and scattered them like chaff before the wind. Then a great light opened before me and I saw we two, as in a panorama, strolling placidly, hand in hand, down the long avenue of life to where success and happiness waited with open arms to receive us. 207 § C-o L.

Nothing gives such zest to a meal as a well-founded consciousness that every- thing entering into it has been prepared with absolute cleanliness. Cleanli- ness has always been classed among the virtues, but a clean restaurant deserves a special distinction. King ' s Restaurant, 112 to 118 Fifth Avenue, is scrupulously clean from end to end. This assertion can readily be substantiated, as an inspection is welcome at all times. The recent overhauling to which King ' s Restaurant has been subjected makes it one of the brightest and most attractive places in the city. It has been thoroughly renovated and refurnished through- out at a cash outlay of several thousand dollars, but the result justifies the expenditures. Considering the moderate prices prevailing at this house, the cuisine is above criticism. King ' s Restaurant is open all night, and possesses special accommodations for ladies. As an after-the-theater resort it is deservedly popular. For this purpose no restaurant in the city is so conveniently situated when the transportation facilities for different parts of the city are taken into con- sideration. It is situated on the loop and within half a block of an elevated station. Surface roads for all parts of the city are easy of access. For a noon-day lunch or refreshments after the theater King ' s Restaurant offers exceptional advantages. CHAS. W. KINC.
