A wider field and a, broader iniiuence are about to be realized. The initiative steps have already been taken with results sufficiently encouraging bo corroborate the prophecy. This is not to say that Oberlin has not progressed within recent years. Far from us to im-ply that she has not! But if the oarsmen of a. boat have to look after the steering, progress is retarded. For the past three years, Oberlin has been like a large rowboat, propelled against the stream by strong and worthy men, to be sure, but 'without a helmsman. But now! After most careful, conscientious work by the Trustees of the Institution, a helmsman has been selected. Their cautiousness was not without its reward. To have chosen the wrong man would have beeni serious in the extreme, to choose the right man was indeed a problem. To say that they succeeded is needless, for nothing is lacking in the qualifications of Dr. John Henry Barrows to successfully occupy the presidential chair of Oberlin College. Dr. Barrows took the helm last January, and since that time he has spent most of his time in the East in behalf of our college. Greater endowments, more scholarships, advanced lecture courses by noted speakers, negotiations for new college buildings, these are a few of the problems he has been solving in order to enlarge the financial and academic condition of the school. The result of his labors is already appearing. In spite of the apparent secrecy of the Faculty, we have already gained sufficient information to lead us to believe that the landscape about the Campus will be materially changed in the near future. The Al uinni, the Faculty and the present student body heartily appreciate the generous gift for the con- struction ofa new Chemical Laboratoryg-but surely, this is only a forerunner of the good things in store for us. .9 College Faculty.

His father and mother, after having been graduated at Oberlin, spent the first years of their married life in one town after another, in quick succession, for each church hated the abolitionist views of the young preacher and his wife and turned them out after a few months, sometimes with an accompaniment of eggs. Medina was no exception to the rule, but after leaving it to start a school for colored people in Woodstock, Michigan, they returned and founded the Union Academy, to which farmers' sons for thirty miles around came. Mrs. Barrows kept the students' boarding house, and in the afternoon taught mathematics in the school, and while her large student family was eating dinner she prepared her lessons by teaching them to her son John, so that before he was twelve he had been through Stoddard's Mental Arithmetic, and a Higher Arithmetic and Higher Algebra. After a. few years spent in West Unity, Ohio, the family settled in Olivet, Michigan, where Mrs. Barrows had charge of the Ladies' Hall, while her husband taught Natural Sciences in the college. Here the boy forgot his love for mathematics and lost his heart to the classics and to oratory. He was a. hard worker and was graduated from the college with honor, before his twentieth birthd-ay, giving a commencement address on Samuel Adams, then and now one of his heroes. Besides studying he had helped his father to cultivate a farm, and once hired himself out to cradle wheat, but this was uncongenial work, and his happiest hours were those spent among the two or three thousand books of the college library, where he counted among his favorites Mllton's Poems, Scott's Novels, Bacon's Essays, Motlcy's Dutch Republic, Parkman's Histories, Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella, Volta1re's Charles the Twelfth, Locke's Essay on the Human Understanding, Emerson's Representative Men, Macaulay's Eng- land, Tocqueville's Democracy in' Ame-rica, Bulwer's Athens, Webster's and Wendell Phillips' Speeches, Sir William Han1ilton's Essays and Stofford B-rook-es' Life of Fred- erick W. Robertson. Early in '63 he had given his heart to Christ and joined the church, and on leaving college, he set out with his brother Walter for the Yale Divinity School. He stopped in Oberlin on his way and called on President Fairchild, who kindly wrote his name in the young student's autograph album, adding the words, Fidelity is Success. After a year at New Haven, he went to Union Theological Seminary in New York. During this winter he found theology more abundant than food, a twenty-five cent dinner being a luxury he could not always afford. But Mr. Beecher's sermons in part atoned. At the end of this year the young theologue, somewhat worn physically, became Super- intendent of Public Instruction in Osage County, Kansas, and rode over miles of prairie to visit schools. The next year spent in pre-aching for the First Congregational church ' 12 of Springfield, Illinois, was followed by a year in Europe and the Holy Land, when he met and became engaged to her, who in the spring of '75, became Mrs. Barrows. Owing to the failure of J. Cook, he lost his money while abroad, but was able to- finish his tour by preaching for six months in the American chapel in Paris. In the fall of '74 he entered Andover Theological Seminary, and the next spring became the pastor of the Eliot church, Lawrence, Massachusetts. In 1880 he changed for the Maverick church, East Boston, which he left in 1881 for the First Presbyterian church, Chicago. This pastorate he resigned in '95 to go to India under the auspices of the University of Chicago, to give the first series of the Barrows Lectures for edu- cated Hindus. In 1893 Dr. Barrows was President of the Parliament of Religions, an undertaking requiring several years of hard work, patience, courage and optimistic faithg this was a good preparation for his journey to the Orient. Since his return from India in '97 he has been lecturing on missions all over the country, and he holds now, as for the last flve years-, the Haskell Lectureship on Com- parative Religion at the Chicago University. In November, '98, he was offered the Presidency of Oberlin College, and accepted. Among President Barrows' books are: The Gospels Are True Histories, I Be- lieve in God, The Life of Henry Ward Beecher, History of the Parliament of Re- ligions, Christianity the World Religion, A World Pilgrimage and The Christian Conquest of Asia. l - 1 13 5 OUR NEW PROFESSORS. REDERICK'O. GROVER, who came to 1 Oberlin last fall to take charge of the Botan- ical Department, was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1868. He took his preparatory course in St. johnsbury Academy, Vermont, and his college course in Dartmouth, graduating in 1890. For the next two years he taught in St. james Mil- itary, Academy, Macon, Missouri, and for two more years in the Western Military Academy, Upper Alton, Illinois. In the fall of 189-l he entered Harvard to make a special study of Botany and Zoology, and took the degree of A. B. in l895, and that ofM. A. in 1896. During 1896, he was assistant in the Harvard Cryptoga- mic Laboratory, and for the next two years, assistant in Professor jones' Botanical Labora- tory in Radcliffe College. He was also asso- ciated with Prof. jones for three years in the Harvard Summer School. He was especially welcomed in Oberlin be- cause of his friendship with Professor Jones, and he has fully met our expectations. His work during the year has been successful and every one was glad to learn that he is to be among us next year. wILLIAM GEORGE CASKEY, our new Professor of Oratory, was born in 1865 at Chicago Heights, Illinois. He took his college course in Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, graduating in 1891. For the next two years he was the principal of the Academic Department ofthe Collegiate Institute of Salt Lake City, Utah. He left that position in order to take up special work in oratory,and spent the year ISD3-4 in the Ifmerson School of Oratory, and the following year in Columbia College of Oratory. The next year was spent in graduate work m Columbia, and in the fall of 1896, he was called to t11e University of Wiscoiisili as Instructor in lilocution. He held this position until he came to Oberlin last fall. The increased interest in oratory in Oberlin this year is proof of his ability and enthusiasm as a teacher. He has won many friends, and his genial personality not less than his success in the class-room, makes him a welcome addi- tion-,to Oberlin's Faculty. I 1 6 QHARLES H. GRAY was born in Racine, , - Wisconsin. His parents soon moved to W . Chicago, where he had his early education. In 1895 he was graduated from the University of Michigan, receiving the degree of B. L. He was immediately appointed Assistant In- structor in English in his Alma Mater, and during the next three years, he taught and also carried on graduate work in English Literature, Rhetoric, and Pedagogy. He re- ceived the degree of M. L. in 1896. Mr. Gray has also studied in the sunnner schools of Ann Arbor and Chicago University, and spent one sunnner visiting tl1e college towns, cathedral cities, and points of literary inter- est in England. He 1S thoroughly equipped for his work. Mr. Gray has introduced new interest in the work of his composition classes by the publication of the best themes in the Oberlin Nczus and the Rezfiew. mR, GEORGE M. JONES was heartily welcomed back last fall by his many friends. He was graduated from Oberlin in 189-lt, and taught Mathematics in the Academy for the next two years. Since that time, he has taken a year of graduate work at Harvard, and spent a year as Instructor of Mathematics in Beloit College. He teaches Mathematics in both College and Academy this year. His work as Graduate Manager of the Athletic Association has been more than successful, and through his uutiring efforts the Association has been frecd from its heavy load of debt. nik. HARRY MATLACK and MR. WILLIAM T. UPTON were already well known in Oberlin, and were heartily welcomed as teachers in the Conservatory. Mr. Matlack was for five years a successful pupil of Prof. Geo. W. Andrews. He was grad- uated from the conservatory in 1897, and last year gave instruction in organ and counterpoint, and continued his studies. This year he has been instructor in organ, and has taken Professor Andrews' place as organist of tl1e Second church. Mr. Upton was graduated from the Conservatory in 1893, and from the College in 1896. The two following years he studied in Vienna under Leschetizki. Last fall he returned to Oberlin to become instructor i11 piano-forte in the Conservatory. His work has been very successful. mia. A. J. MARSHALL, the new Tutor of Physics in tl1e Academy, is a native of Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a graduate of Harvard. He is cooperating with Professor St. John in raising the standard of the elementary course in Physics. 17 EMO1 Class Officers. W. E. MOSIIER, Pl'L'SI.dl'l1f MARY E. W1LLxAMs, Smzvazjnf SARAH P.

Has the committee on class pictures any report to make? Mr. Kilbon: Mr. President, before the committee can do anything definite, it will be necessary to flnd out the pleasure of the class regarding the photogravure albums. The cost of these albums with '99 engraved on the outside will be about five dollars. fDead sllen.ce.J Mr. Mosher: What about this report? Mr. Rowland: I am heartily in favor of these albums. But I have seen good ones at Williams for fifty cents, and I don't see why these should cost so much. I move that the committee be instructed to investigate the matter further. fMotion is carried as Mr. Williamson appears.D Mr. Mosher: Mr. Williamson, any report to make? Mr. Williamson: In regard to the commencement speaker, I should like to say that after numerous calls at President Barrows' house I managed to flnd him. Mc- Kinley regrets that he cannot be with us, Cleveland can't, Harrison won't come, and we are narrowed down to Chauncey Depew, Chief Justice Brewer of the Supreme Bench, Van Dyke, and Professor James. I should like some expression of the class as to first choice. Miss Brown fto her neighborsj: James is no public speaker. Van Dyke is flue. Miss Savage: I should like Depew first and Van Dyke second. Upon motion, the committee is instructed to open negotiations with Mr. Depew's manager. Mr. Zeller: Mr, President, what about our sleigh-ride? Every Senior class for years has had one, and we must. I saw two cutters and a bob-sled this morning, and therefore I move that we have our sleigh-ride on Saturday. Mr. Sherk: U, L. A. meeting Saturday. Mr. B. B. Williams: I move that we postpone for one week. Miss Brown: There's the Y. W. reception then. Mr. C. W. William-s: To get the matter before the class, I move that we have our sleigh-ride Monday morning. Mr. Mosher: One other matter. We could get permission more easily, if we had some deilnite place in view. tLooking at the member from I-Ienrlettal Does any one know of a suitable place? Mr. Simpson: My parents would be glad to have us visit them.'It is only twenty miles away, but that wouldn't be too far. Mr. Mosher: Probably not, since we have to be in at seven. Miss Tenney: Mr, President, who is responsible for the failure of our skating party in Rockefeller Rink? Every other class from Freshman up has had one, and it's funny we can't get permission to stay out till 9 o'clock. ' Mr. Kingsbury: I guess we need a course in Physical Training before we are able to work that. Mr. Mosher: President Barrows regrets that he will not be able to lead our class prayer meetings. No further business? Meeting stands adjourned -and as we flle out of room: 37, some one dares to ask, Mr. Mosher, aren't we going to wear our caps and gowns this winter? and is rewarded with: I'll speak of that at the next meeting. 19 E rnoooomgmw gmc '99 Foot-Ball Team.

After the three members on the front seat get each other pounded into a. resemblance of order, Jameson suddenly starts: '1here's Only One- Girl in- At this stage Addenbrook and Edgerton manage to overpower him, and while they are forcibly convincing him of the error of his supposition, Norris from the rear of the room trills: I Love Thee, I Adore Thee, a sentiment which is heartily endorsed by the members on the west side of the house. Chairman: If there is no business to come before the house, we will listen to a. a er- p 'Freash: Mr, Chairman, I believe there was a. small matter laid on the table at a. recent meeting, and I move you that we do now consider the same. Secretary finds that the small matter has lain quietly for seventeen weeks, and so reports. Member on the floor insists. The question is found to be as to whether Nineteen Hundred boys are not spending too- much time in an Henervating and stilted intercourse with young ladies instead of in the wholeso-me, manly society o-f the fellows. In spite of the efforts of the chairman and the young women the question is reopened for debate. Davies: Mr, Chairman, I maintain that anything which tends to support, beautify or carry forward social life is moral and ethical, and therefore- Treash: Mr, Chairman, I desire to give information! Last speaker ruled out of order. Davies continues: And therefore, since young ladies are supportable, beautiful, moral, ethical, religious, heaven- Question!

Fitch: -to propose for membership the name of a man who has not the honor to be of us: but who has been with us through many troubled days--Mr. Cllx John- son, of Ninety-nine. The club elects Mr. Johnson an honorary member, whereupon Cllx suddenly emerges from under Fitch's hat on the table, and beaming upon the startled multitude, remarks: I am sure this is a great pleasure to us all. And now I would just like to ask the Secretary or some competent member to tell me in a few words what you have been doing-a so-rt of synoptic review, as it were, of the questions you have discussed in the preceding twenty-four meetings-just so a fellow can. tell what you are driving at!

It seemed to be an unusual meeting, for almost all the class were there and on time. Mr. Brown presided and did his best to keep order. The first question which came up for consideration was introduced by Mr. Strowbrldge, who asked that the class receive the Second-Year Physical Training Girls as life members. He was reminded that these girls were mem- bers of the class while in college, but this did not seem to satisfy him. Next came another class-adoption scheme, and this time those in. question were the girls of the Senior Academy Class. Mr. Adams spoke first, in his crafty way, and was followed by Mr. Burr, who waxed very- eloquent in his plea. Then Mr. Benedict and Mr. Harroun spoke briefly in favor of the measure. At last, one extremely brave girl, encouraged by the President, said: What would we do for our Thanksgiving parties, if we had sixty more girls in the class? Another maiden replied, It wouldnft be much worse than it was this year, as I can show you by the class list. After this, so many spoke in opposition to the measure that when the ballots were counted, only four were found in favor of the measure. We were all glad that the measure was de- feated, for if it had not been Messrs. Nims, Hoyt, Birdseye and Riddle would have been championing a. like measure for receiving the High School girls. These weighty matters had taken up so much time that Mr. Bush proposed that we have refreshments. Miss Jones moved that Miss Sperry and Miss Rowland be appointed as a committee to go to the cheese-factory east of town to get some cheese to eat with the crackers which had been kindly provided. The motion carried, and the young women were furnished with full instructions, drawings of the road, and even guides. Then Mr. Brown read a note from Mr. Gray. The contents were to the effect that Mr. Gray wanted two assistants appointed from the class to help him in the Sophomore English work. Without any hesitation, the class elected Mr. Hemingway and Mr. Bene- dict to be Mr. Gray's assistants. Another question was then brought before the house. It was: Why did Mr. Pendle- ton send in his resignation as Treasurer with no excuse but that of 'personal reasons'? A lively discussion cast no light on the question. Then a resolution was brought before the class for adoption. It read as follows: We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and One of Oberlin College, do hereby resolve that the three girls belonging to the aforesaid class and at present living at Mrs. Morrison's, be visited by a member of the class to be ap- pointed by our President, said appointee to remonstrate with said girls for their dis- loyalty to the class and because their interests are divided, the smaller share coming to our worthy class, said interests being taken up by Professors in one case, by a Senior in another, and a Freshman in the third. This resolution passed, and Mr. Tompkins was appointed by the President to labor with these members concerning the error of their ways. By one of those changes which often come in dreams, Mrs. Johnston suddenly appeared before the class and demanded which one of the young gentlemen had been going home with a Conservatory girl from the First Church Sunday nights. An ominous silence followed, but at last one yo-ung man rose to his feet and waited his doom. He Stood there so straight and tall and fair, and had such honest blue eyes, that Mrs. Johnston only requested to see him in her office later in the day. Just as Mrs. Johnston was closing the door behind her, and a motion to adjourn was being made, I awoke with a start. 31 '01 Foot-Ball Team. J. S. HARDY, . Left End. R. B. SMITH, . Left Tackle. J. M.

WAS sitting in the boarding-house parlor, looking out of the window at nothing at all, when my friend, Miss G-, came in with a Freshman in tow. She was saying as they entered, You are in the Academy, are you not, Mr. T-? The Freshle nearly collapsed, his pride was so rudely jarred. Why, no, Miss G-, he answered, I'm a Freshman. Well, I'm sure I meant no harm. I'm Conservatory, you know, and Fresh- men and Cads look about alike to me. This was too much and the Freshman set out to crush her. Miss G-, ours is the liveliest Freshman class that ever entered this College We're 'wa.rm,' that's a fact, every way you take us! I hope we don't have to take you-your class, I mean, in large doses, Mr. T-. He reddened, but was so full of his subject that he couldn't stop for trifles. Miss G-, just look at what we did last fall term! Why, it was only a few weeks until we had a stag party, right out in Ladies' Grove. We didn't care who knew it, and the Sophs found it out. They came after our pie, but we had gobbled that all up first thing. They had a gang of at least two hundred and fifty, whereas there were only about flfty of us. But on the strength of our ple, we rushed 'em, the whole crowd, right up the bank of the water-works reservoir-you know how steep that is? Somehow they managed to sneak around and get our President, Livingston-going to take him out into the country, you know-then we had an awful scrapg finally got him back, 'bout half dead. O, we showed them Sophs a thing or two. Then look at our foot hall team! knocked the spots off every other team in eollege! The Seniors thought they were 'some punkinsj but we beat 'em easy. Nearly broke the Seniors' hearts. Vos, she broke in, trying to stem the tide, I heard it said that some of your boys talked all day about it, and then talked so loud in their sleep that the landlady had to object. That's the Senior side. Then we got permission to have our Thanksgiving party Saturday night, same as the Seniors. That hurt 'em, too. Our party couldn't go on without Livingston, you know, and he was at Purdue. Then we had another stag party this spring. This time the Sophs didn't dare to bother us. We have a couple of men on the Glee Club, too. Our base ball team is a wonder. We run a paper that pretty nearly comes up to the Review. Our girls are strictly all right, too. Why, some of them have calls six nights in the week- He stopped for breath. Well, if all the Freshmen are like you, you ought to have no trouble in winning the mile run on Field Day. He thought a minute. O, I see, he said, plenty of wind or good staying power? Both, I think, Mr. T--. At this point I was overcome and made my escape. 35 '02 Foot-Ball Team. T. P. RANKIN, WII,I.

And when your hope seems nearest, To hold it through four years, Watch another team of Freshmen Leave you, like us, in tears. - 99. 33 I Faculty. FENELON B. RICE, Mus.

The mercury had curled itself up into the very bulb of the thermometer, and Jack Frost had painted Arctic landscapes over all the window panes, so that even the girl who was always anxious to gaze down the street could not thaw out an aperture large enough to accommodate one eye. The click-clack of the claviers was stilledg only one faithful blue-eyed maid in the corner moved her flngers slowly over the icy keys. As for the other members scheduled for the 7:30 hour, two were seated on the half-warm radiator, while a third crouched on the floor beside lt, trying to stimulate the sluggish circulation of the steam pipes by opening the escape-valve. The others were huddled together over the register which occasionally gave promise of better weath'er. How I wish I had a fan! said one shiverer. I'm simply suffocating! Really, the man who runs this Conservatory ought not to waste so much coal. One of the girls slid down from the radiator and turned to pull the other down after her. ' Come, come, we have fooled long enough. Help me get this top off, will you please? Oh dear! the other moaned, I'm going to take up a collection and buy hot-water bottles by the wholesale, so that we shan't have to lug this heavy thing around every morning. I tell you, I'm getting spinal meningitis! Truly? That's a sudden development, you had 'curvature' yesterday. Here, you girls, came from the other side of the room, don't stand there breaking your arms with that mass of iron. Bring it here and I'll help you push it under the c1a.viers. Not that way!-the backs must go together: then we can both put our feet on this scorching Q?J foot-stove. If you wouldn't insist on keeping one eye out of the window, we should get along faster. You drop your end flrst, and I'll slide it under. There! Is that in the middle? No ma'am, it isn't. It's way over on your side. T'hat's not fair. You always manage to take up more than your share and I don't see how, for my feet are certainly larger than yours. Yes, I've noticed that, replied the first girl. But look at our friend on the register! Why, you're as white as a sheet! Has the heat overcome you? Girl's, I simply can't stand it any longer. I thought I should escape this morning, for my foot didn't hurt until lt began to warm up. Do you care? she said as she pulled off her heavy shoe and hid it under her skirt. She looked so pathetic that the girls all laughed. Just then the door opened hurriedly and each one instinctively squared in her chair. In rushed a tall girl in a light coat, who gasped out: It's barbarous! It's shameful! The idea! What is it? Do tell us, they all spoke at once. Guess what I saw one of the professors do just now! S-he paused to choke down her wrath, and then continued: I was coming up the front steps, when the dearest little black kitten you ever saw flew out the door followed by that wretch, who actually 42 ' kicked it clear across the campus! Just wait until I tell him what I think of him! I've a good notion to put the long-named society on his track, and she flounced out leaving the others hotly discussing this act of barbarity. Do hush! came anxiously from the blue-eyed girl in the corner. Don't you hear some one? It must be Corbin. You needn't worry. His rheumatism would not admit of such rapid locomotion at this temperature, laughed My Son John, reaching for her other shoe, as the seven- thirty lion thrust his head into the room. ' Humph! he muttered, I hoped it might be cold enough to freeze the flow of conversation in this magpies' ncst. The disappointment is too great, I canft stay. A progressive sigh of relief went around the circle as the door closed again. Oh, girls! giggled the little Senior with glasses, do you want to hear a grand joke? Well, at the reception the other night I was talking with one of the College professors-a brilliant one, too--and he commenced to discuss the Second Church Choir. 'Yes, I like the music,' he said, 'only I do wish you would sing together more- not have one part go off on a tangent, then another follow, until finally you all take a. hand at it. Just imagine what a time I had keeping- my face straight! I wanted to give him the sailor's definition of an anthemg you know, the one about 'Bill, give-give me-give me that-that-give me that hand-hand-hand-give me that hand-spike-spike! give me, Bill, give me that hand-spike! The peal of laughter which greeted her words died away at the sound of another step outside. This time it was Corbin. A littlc less noise, llc said, as lic shook his licarl. That's all right, Corbin. Don't you tell on us. We'll be quiet. And they were--for two minutes. 43 Artists' Recitals Amfimc AUS DER OHE... EVAN WILLIAMS ........ IN A PERSIAN CPARDEN GIQROMP: I'IELMON'1' .......

Blessings on you, little Cad, Sight to make your teachers glad, With your green and purple tie, Collar towering to your eye. Yours is childhood's gulleless stare, When you see a maiden fair. Mother Goose, the lines here penned Help the Cad to comprehend! Oh, for Cad-dom's days of bliss, Ere we know what knowledge isg To be or not to be 's a. question Troubles not a Cad's digestion. But when he asserts in class, Be an object takes, alas! Be's a question then perplexing, Daily themes are not more vexing. When vacation's hour is come, Cadlet hastens to his home. See the ribbons red and yellow Streaming from the little fellow! Hear the Senior's weak-lunged cry Silenced by his Hi-O-Hi! While, in reverence to his knowledge, Home-folks tell, He's home from college Cad, let Seniors scowl in vain At your peanut's brisk refrain, Heard so oft at C-hapel prayers At the turning of the stairs. Stern Professor, let it pass When the Cad oft cuts a. classy Rather pity-low he lies, Victim sad of Hobbs's pies. Little Cad, unconscious elf, Shrinking Bud, assert yourself! Think! How oft the town requires Your importance at its fires. Learning's paths seem less profound When your gladsome giggles sound- But these lisping numbers faze me! Life itself's too short to praise thee!! 53 Class Officers. R. K. Loo1f1soURRow, l'1z-.w'1z'mf CA'1'H1f:R1N1c CRAFTS, V1'fv-P1'vs1'n'w1I ELLA F.

The man who finds any phase or effect in 11ature not beautiful, the lack is in his own heart. JEAN FRANCOIS MILLET. Whatever else the present age has done for the advancement of human thought, it has certainly do11e wonders toward increasing the general knowledge and appreciation of the beautiful i11 Art. Along with this great step in advance have come a broader appreciation of Nature and a fuller enjoyment of life in general. It is a cause for great rejoicing, too, that the time-honored theory that only the artist or possessor of talent should study art, is rapidly becoming an ex- ploded fallacy ofthe past. The educated people of today are realizing that a practical knowledge of drawing is not merely an unending source of pleasure, but also a thing of value in nearly every li11e of intellectual work. How often we look UPO11 a beautiful landscape, or bit of Nature which attracts us, and sigh for the ability to sketch it I How often, too, i11 explanation We feel that words are inadequate to express our exact meaning, when a hasty drawing would be most illuminating. The growing importance of the laboratory method in all scientific work makes freehand drawing almost a necessity. The universities are recognizing this fact a11d are laying increased emphasis upon their art departments. It is gratifying to k11ow that the work in the Oberlin Art Department has been con- stantly growing in size and importance, so that at present it holds a merited position of prominence in the activity of the College. G6 a 1 ,,.,,, v.. ,.,, . , Hn-, . . ...... ames Monroe, A. M, L. L. D. He was nearly seventy-six years old when he died, but we had never been able to think him old, the youthfulness of a loving spirit was so upon him. I remember him as I first saw him in 1846hlithe, gracefuhhandsome, beaming with in- telligence, full of magnetic powerg and as a Preparatory student I looked up to the graduating Senior as the brilliant model of what we younger men might hope to be- come. His nature, sympathetic with every noble impulse, made him, while he was yet a youth, an advocate of emancipation. His sturdy conviction, his quick apprehen- sion of situations, his delicious vein of humor, his comprehensive grasp and tender appreciation of truth, together with his rare mastery of language, and that power to accomplish a prodigious amount of work in a given time, which surprised Presi- dent Fairchild, fifty-four years ago, all go to show an unusual intellectual fertility and force. ,In four years of service in the House of Representatives at Columbus, and in the Senate by the side of Garfield and Cbx, and in Congress, he was known for his entire devotion to principle. The charity and geuiality of his character made smooth all the personal relations of life, and men who opposed his views with pas- sionate warmlth would be most ready in loving appreciation of the man. As consul, and as acting minister, his breadth of mind and culture, joined with a genial polish of manners, won for him a solid place in the esteem and respect of the trained diplo- matists of the Brazilian court. To an exceedingly rich and ingenous nature had been added the crowning grace of a simple, unwavering faith in the great principles of God's righteousness and law. This is what made him a benediction to so many hundreds of students and to so many burdened hearts. His personal friendship was a spiritual fortune to all who possessed it. He called out in rare degree the tender personal affection of his pupils- I hope he knew how much they loved him! Even the half-joking student names they gave him betrayed their love. I doubt if any pupil of his ini these last years can think of him without something of the same feeling which the thought of his own father calls out in him. His face, always sympathetic, tender, truth-loving, mobile: and near the end, spir- itualized by the chastisement of years, told the old story over again, that while the outward man was perishing, the inward man was being renewed day by day. But the weight of age had not yet borne heavily upon him, and he went in and out in his accustomed way almost to the day of his departure. He has served his generation and fallen on sleep according to the will of God, for this mortal must put on immortality. 69 Q N 4 , Professor Herbert L. jones. Few men in so short a time have impressed their personality as strongly upon the stud- ents and Faculty of Oberlin College and upon the citizens of the town as did Professor Herbert Lyon Jones during the year he was among us. He was a man of 'such high sincerity of purpose, of such rare courtesy, sympathy and unobtrusive Christianity, and of so evident scientific attainments that he endeared himself to all alike, a.nd every one felt a sense of personal loss at his sudden death which occurred at his home in Granville, Ohio, August 27, 1898. Herbert Lyon Jones was born on the eleventh of February, 1866, in Granville, Ohio: and there his early training was received. From Granville Academy he en- tered Denison University and was graduated from the Classical course at the age of twenty. He remained at Denison the following year as graduate student in Physics and Instructor in Zoology, receiving the degree of Master of Science. Professor Jones then taught for a year at Baird College, Missouri, returning to Granville to take charge for three years of the science in Doane Academy. In 1891 he entered the graduate school of Harvard University, receiving the degree of D. A. in 1892, and of M. A. in 1893. During his first year at Harvard, he was made as- sistant in Botany, and filled that position until he became Instructor in Botany in 1895. He was also Instructor in Botany at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, from 1893 to 1897, and during the same period had charge of the work in Botany in the Harvard Summer Schcol. I-Ie also lectured on Botany during 1893 at the Medical School of Boston University. In 1897 Professor Jones was called to Oberlin and entered upon his work with tact and vigor, and with a seemingly intuitive knowledge of Oberlin conditions. His great desire was to so develop his department that it might rank with the best in the country, and to that end he bent all his energies. He accomplished much in the year, and he left behind an in-fluence which will long be felt in his department. But in the thought of the great body of students, his name will be associated longest and most closely with the Arboretum, in whose establishment he was so much interested, and for which he worked so energetically. Professor Jones was especially interested in the physiology and histology of plants, and at the time of his death had in preparation a paper on Some Adaptations of Sea- side Plants, as studied from this standpoint. He had published already a number of papers on Botany and other subjects. And on coming to Oberlin, he had added a valuable collection of five thousand plants to the College Herbarium. The influence which he exerted was felt not merely in the class-room and in the laboratory, but wherever he came in touch with the student life. He felt in himself the need of a. close contact with the students, and he in turn gave freely of himself to them. While the illness which caused Professor Jones' death was very sudden, it was not entirely unforeseen. For several years he had realized the probability of this sudden end, and he pursued a life of constant activity and cheerfulness with this menace ever before him. It is such examples of quiet heroism that we all admire, and whose influence never ceases. 71 3 i , 1 , w I 1 1 1 w r 1 , 1 A, . W. J ames Brand, D. D. tCondensed from The Review.l James Brand was born of Scotch parentage, near Three Rivers, Quebec, Febru- ary 26, 1834. His father was a man of culture and education and added to the scanty earnings of the rocky farm by teaching school during the winter months. The pov- erty of the family early made it necessary for young Brand to launch out for himself. In -1853 he located at Saco, Maine, where he worked at the carpenter's trade, and in Saco there are now houses standing which he built in' his early manhood. Upon the advice of his pastor, Brand began his struggle for an' education in 1858 at Phillips fAndoverJ Academy. After working his way throught the Academy, he entered Yale in 1861g but in the following year he enlisted in the 27th Connecticut Volunteersg and as color-bearer of his regiment throughout the campaign of '62-'63 of the Army of the Potomac, he proved his courage and patriotism. Wounded at Fred- ericksburg, first to reach the deadly stone wall at Gettysburg after that desperate charge across the wheatfield, and carrying his wounded colonel from the field in the face of a. flerce fire, his record as a soldier and patriot is no less remarkable than his suc- cess as a minister of the gospel. After the war he finished his course at Yale and graduated from Andover Sem- inary in 1869, at which time Professor Phelps said of him: He is one of the most promising young preachers in New England. After a four-years' pastorate at Dan- vers, Mass., he accepted a call to the First church at Oberlin and there began a min- istry, the success of which is proved by the fact that it continued until his death, nearly twenty-six years, Dr. Brand's influence was early felt in the educational and religious circles of the West, and soon he acquired a national reputation. His public utterances from the pulpit and platform and in the press are a suflicient witness, not only of his own broad scholarship and culture, but also of his belief in their great importance. But he strenuously maintained that an education which does not build up a Christian character is vitally defective. If he lacked some of the graces of oratory, he had in an eminent degree that nobler, that double gift: a power of profoundly moving the heart and winning the reason. The cause of his extraordinary lniiuence for good was the man, the pure, noble personality back of his every act and word. Dr. Brand has rendered Oberlin College conspicuous service, both as an oiiicer of the institution, and as an- unwearied champion of its interestsg but the greater service is that which is recorded in the lives of that great company of men and women whose lives have been made nobler and more Christ-like because of his infiuence. In his death, the student body, Faculty, and townspeople alike have suffered a loss which can not be estimated. To all who have come into touch with his life, the memory of him will ever be a. satisfaction and an inspiration. 73 Nght and Day.

Two Texts. 'EEK ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these Cm, NWS' things1 Sf ,.,V C-1 The young and brilliant minister of the Church of the Redem-ption leaned back in his study-chair and frowned. What things? he thought, 1- vaguely- Katharine Chesterlie, for instance? Evidently he was not in ' the mood to write this sermon: he was in too worldly a frame of mind. He underlined the words of the text several times carefully, dipped his pen in the ink and held it in his hand till it was dryg the-n he laid it down and took from his desk a little note. His face flushed a little as he read:-- Melba. is to appear as Marguerite, Friday night. Wonft you join our box party? It would be such a pleasure to listen to Faust with you. The minister smiled as he remembered that Friday had really come. He took up his pen again and bent once more over the manuscript. He really must flnish this sermon this morning: if he went to the opera tonight, he would not have another oppor- tunity. And all these things, he repeated aloud, trying to- get his mind on the ser- mon. Dld it mean things we want most? No, that could not beg for there was but one thing he wanted-Katharine Chesterlie, and she-he could not help smiling as he thought of it-she did not lie exactly in the path of the kingdom of God. He pushed the sermon from him, impatiently. He really had nothing to write on that text, he would wait awhile and choose another. Two years before John Lang had been called to this church on Fifth avenue, to satisfy the whim of a. beautiful girl, who had met him at the seashore. Mr. Ches- tc-rlie's money controlled the Church of the Redemption, and Katharine Chesterlie con- trolled her father. He had intended to work in the slums of New York cityg but the call to the great church had been an urgent one. He was not altogether selfish in accepting it-to make a Christian of the beautiful, brilliant daughter of the million- aire. It had seemed to him that perhaps her soul was worth more than hundreds of dirty, wretched men and women in the slums. He had gone- prayerfully, hope- fully, determined to win this one girl. Two years had passed quickly away, and Katharine Chesterlie seemed as far as ever from the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The minister sighed as he thought of it. He had done his best: he had not preached at her: but he had lived for her the most devoted, earnest life he knew how. He had tried to show her th-at even the pleasures in life, the opera, the whist parties, these were more enjoyable to him because of the religion he pro- fessed. And Katharine admired him, respected him, loved him, he sometimes tholughtg but it was rather in spite of his Christianity than because of it. It was a radiant, moonlight night. The long row of dark carriages in front of the opera-house was not attractive, even though the air was very cold. Oh, let's not ride, Katharine said to the minister, the night is too glorious. And so they walked quietly home in the moonlight. The closing scene of the opera had made them more serious than usual. Once they stopped to watch the moon as it came out from a thin, white cloud. The silky scarf fell back from her head as she turned her face up to the sky. The minister involuntarily uttered an excla- mation of delight. You look likelf' he cried boyishly. Wha.t? she laughed. His enthusiasm pleased her. Be careful-you are on dan- gerous ground. It is a. very poor figure, the minister said humbly. I was just going to say, you look like the little children we see on Christmas cards, singing carols in the snow. Katharine gave a sigh of relief. Oh! she said gratefully, thank you. I was 75 afraid you were going to say like an American Beauty in a desert, or perhaps the Queen of Sheba. They laughed happily, as two people will who understand each other perfectly. They did not speak again till they stood in the dimly-lighted hall of the Chesterlie mansion. Will you come and see me Monday? Katharine asked. There's something I want to tell you. The minister flushed as he answered, Yes. There is something I want to tell you, lf I dared. He saw the look that passed over her beautiful face: and he knew that she understood and was glad. That sermon on the Kingdom of God and His righteousness seemed harder than over to write the next day. The minister gave it up at last and chose one of his old sermons, one he had written at the Seminary when he was enthusiastic over the work ini the slums. A little of the old consecration and self-sacrifice came back to him as he read the old-sermon that Sunday morning. It was on the text- He that loveth father, or mother, or wife, or friend more than Me is not worthy of Me. He spoke with unusual earnestnessg perhaps because of the happiness- he felt was in store for him. He dared not look at Katharine, as she sat beside her father in the Ches- terlie pewg he was afraid his joy would be too apparent. When the sermon was over he made his way at once to her seat. Sihe always waited there to speak to him'. Sometimes she would say: I liked the sermon this morning, Mr. Lang, or perhaps, Were you not a little too hard on us? or sometimes, with a playful shake of her head, Oh, you were preaching at me, I know. And then they would walk home trgether and talk of everything but the sermon. But today she was gone b-efore he reached her pew. Her father greeted him cordially. A fine sermon you gave us, Lang, very fine. But the minister forgot to smile, even though he knew that Mir. Chesterlie had never been known to keep awake during a sermon in his life. He felt annoyed that Katharine had escaped him. There were so many things he wanted to talk to her about: he did not want to have to speak of them tomorrow. Tomorrow, his face brightened at the thought. Perhaps sh.e felt it would be embarrassing to walk home with him after his words Fri- day night. Yes, that was it, no doubt: he would be patient and wait. It was already beginning to grow dusk when the minister rang the bell at the Chesterlie mansion the next afternoon. He did not wait to be ushered ing but en- tered at once into the library, like one who had been a frequent and welcome caller. It was here that Katharine always received himg here they talked of music and pir- tures and the latest books, here, he poured out his woes to her, and she laughed at him, and cheered him and praised him. His step quickened and his breath came faster as he thought of the errand that had brought him here today. It was not till he had gone halfway across the room that he noticed that Katharine was there before him. She stood in the shadow of the rich, heavy curtains, leaning on a high-backed chair. She was dressed all in black, and seemed so deep in thought that she did not see him. The minister stopped to look at her. How beautiful' she was! Could it be possible that God was going to give her to him? Then she raised her head. Oh, you have come, she said coldly. All the warm life-blood that had been surging in the minister's heart seemed to flow back and leave him chilled through and through. He dared not go toward heri and she did not ask him to sit downg he could do nothing but wait for her to speak aga n. ' I wanted to ask you about the sermon yesterday, she said after a pause, still speaking in the same hard, strained voice. The sermon-why, he had completely forgotten even the textg he could not recall one word of it. She seemed to divine his dlfllculty and repeated almost scornfully- 'He that loveth father, or mother, or wife, or friend more than Me, is not worthy of Me.' You said, you will remember, 'a Christian must love Christ more than any one else in the world-' A: light began to dawn on the minister. He glanced at her appealingly, but could say nothing. She leaned toward him eagerly: and her voice in spite of its coldness, had a note of tender appeal in it,- 76 y . Q. 13, . ,J He could do nothing but -wait for her fo,speak again Do you? she asked softly. It was the old story of the parting of the ways. He saw it all and hesi- tated. Yet he was to be forgiven: for he was very young and Katharine Chesterlie was more than beautiful. I don't know, he said, at last: and he looked at her frankly with his big, hon- est eyes. Perhaps she saw the struggle and pitied him: perhaps his sincerity touch-ed her, at least there was no coldness in her voice as she said, Will you tell me when you know? Humiliated to the last degree, the minister felt as he made his way back to the study. He cursed himself for his cowardice. If he had stood up for the religion he professed he would, no doubt, have lost Katharine's love, but he would at least have retained her respect. Or if he had said-as she evident.ly expected him to say- Iwo, I love you more -what would it have mattered after all, if he had lost his own self-respect? And yet he had answered her honestly-that thought alone comforted him. He really did not know then which was dearer to himythe love of Clhrist or the love of this beautiful girl. All night long the minister sat before his study desk: he felt no cold or hunger, although the fire had long since gone out, and he had eaten nothing since noon. At first he could think of but one thing, his humiliation in the eyes of the woman he loved. In the first shock of wounded pride, even the loss of her love was not as hard to bear as the loss of her respect. The clock on the little mantel struck six. With a shudder of pain the minister raised his head. A faint streak of red was beginning to appear in the eastg the light fell first of all on Leonardo da. Vinci's unfinished Head of Christ, that was hung over the study desk. A flush of shame crept over the minister's face as he saw it. He had yet to realize the greater humiliation--the humiliation in the eyes of the Chris! he loved. Again the words that had been ringing in his ears all night came to him- He that loveth father, or mother, or wife, or friend more than Me is not worthy of Me. It was not in the cold, scornful tones of Katharine Chesterlieg but in the sad, forgiving tones of the Christ himself. And the minister, as he bowed his head once more upon his desk, said humbly- Oh, Christ, make me worthy. The next week was a very busy one. Resigning the pastcrate of the Church of the Redemption was not so easy a task as the minister had supposed. There were so many officers to interview, so many hard questions to be answered, so many fare- well calls to make. And now he was on his way to the Chesterlie mansion once more. It seemed best to him to leave this call till the very last and yet he was surprised to find how little he really dreaded this visit. He felt very strong after his victory over himselfg he would not be humiliated again. He went at once to the libraryg he wished it to seem just as usual. A little of his self-confidence left him as he stood once more in the familiar room, the scene of his old defeat. And, too, he had not counted on finding Katharine there before him. This time she was all in white, and came forward smiling to meet him just as she used to in the old days. I am glad you have come, she said. I've almost forgotten how to make a cup of teap it has been so long since you have been here. No. The minister had not counted fully on the enemy. He had steeled himself to meet the same cold, scornful girl he had left. Katharine- Chesterlie was more beautiful, far more beautiful than he had pictured her in the days that had elapsed since he last saw her. He did not take the chair she offered him: he dared not sit so near her. He went to the window and stood leaning on that same high-backed chair, where Katharine had stood at their last meeting. Even in that moment of desperate struggle he remembered just how she had looked, as she leaned toward him and asked softly, Do you? I have come to answer your question, he saidg and his voice in spite- of him- self sounded strange and forced. A pink iiush appeared on Katharine's cheek, but he did not see it. 78 I have come to tell you, he said slowly, that-that--I do. He leaned his head on the back of the chair, fearing even then that the sight of her beauty might force him to take back his words. He felt the perfume of her gown, he dreamed rather than felt the touch of her hand as she laid it on his-it was so very light: he dreamed rather than heard the sound of her voice, as she bent over him-it was so very low- And so do I, John, she said. The Church of the Redemption was more than crowded Sunday morning: The young and brilliant minister was to preach his farewell sermon to the church on Fifth avenue. The call to the work in the slums had been an urgent one: and Kath- arine had insisted on their going at once, the need was so very great. The minister spoke with unusual fervor that morning, and there was a wonderful light in his eyes as he gave out his text- Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things -his eyes fell upon- Katharine smiling at him from her father's pew- Yes, he repeated fervently, ALL these things shall be added unto you. -F.

BOUT two miles and a half above Hoboken, on the New Jersey slde of the Hudson River, and directly opposite New York City, is a spot of his- torical interest-the duel-ground of Weehawken. Its location has been almost wholly destroyed by the construction of a railroad, but the tragic scenes which have been enacted there are not so easily lost to mem- ory's vision. At this point the rocks rise almost perpendicularly for one hundred and fifty feet above the river level. Under these heights, some twenty feet a.bove the water, was a grassy shelf about six feet wide and eleven paces long, reached by an almost inac- cessible flight of steps. At one end of this short stretch was a huge sandstone boulder. A magnificent chestnut tree stretched forth its protecting limbs and shel- tered it from rain and storm. This quiet, peaceful solitude was desecrated by the pistol- shot of the duellist no less than' fourteen times in fifty years. Six of these duels were political. Colonel Burr fought first with John B. Church, a brother-in-law 'of General Hamilton, and a sympathizer with him in his distrust of Burr. The next clash between the followers of Burr and the friends of Hamilton brought serious consequences. In the autumn of 1801 Mr. Price and Philip Hamilton, the gen- eral's eldest son, both met 'one of Burr's chief lieutenants, a man by the name of Eacker, at this spot. Mr. Price escaped injury, but young Hamilton, reserving his ilre, in deference to his father's views, fell mortally wounded at the first fire of his antagonist. This was the saddest bereavement of I-Iamilton's life. Two more duels, both engendered by the political enmity between Hamilton and Burr, were fought here soon afterward, but the one duel which alone has sufilced to make this a. never-to-be-forgotten spot, was yet to come. The jealousy and enmity which Aaron Burr held toward Alexander Hamilton are reputed by many biographers to date very far back in the lives of the two men. Burr was a cunning politician and Hamilton was continually opposing and thwarting his elaborate political plans. When Burr sought the governorship of New York and was defeated mainly through his political opponent's efforts he determined to be re- venged. His influence in his own party on the wane, his political adherents scat- tered, utter ruin could only be prevented by disposing of Hamilton in some way. It was not hard to find grounds for attack. He seized upon a statement in, a public journal which characterized him as a dangerous man and one not to be trusted with the reins of government, and which was said to hav-e been made by Hamilton. With the assistance of his intimate friend, Judge Van Ness, he took up a premeditated course of action which should lead to one inevitable result-a challenge. His scheme was successful, and the challenge was delivered by Van Ness. Hamilton was a Christian and in principle opposed to duelling, but he feared the censure of public opinion if he should ignore his enemy's defiant attitude. His S2 bravery was too well known to be questioned, but h-e felt that he would lose all the respect of his fellow-citizens if he refused to meet Burr on the fleld of honor. Accord- ingly the challenge was accepted, and the date and place of meeting flxed. In the meantime, Hamilton was settling his business affairs and Burr was daily practicing pistol-shooting. A The morning of July 11, 1804, dawned warm and bright. A gentle breeze was lazily rustling the green leaves of the beautiful trees which lined both banks of the Hudson River, as Hamilton, his second, Judge Pendleton, and his surgeon, Dr. Hosack, were being slowly rowed up the broad river in a small boat. The bo-atman kept steadily at his work and said not a word. Hamilton sat in the bow enjoying the smooth, quiet river, the majestic rocks on either side, and the reflections of .the morning sun- beams. Occasionally he made some brief remark about the beauty of this pano- ramic scene, which his friends in the stern. answered in monosyllables. They came at last to the landing-place, which was at the foot of the steep and rough flight of steps leading to the shelf above. Another boat was already moored there, After their little boat had been tied fast, the whole party clambered up to the appointed duel-ground. Burr and Van Ness were there, walking about and breaking down the little twigs which were in the way. The members of both parties exchanged formal greetings and the two seconds, Pendleton and Van Ness, stepped to one side to confer. Burr stood at one end of the ledge, humming a popular ditty, and looked out over the river flowing along twenty feet below him. He seemed -to be wholly unconscious of the presence of other persons, His hour of revenge had come and he was tasting its joy. There was but one chance in a hundred that Hamilton would hit him, and he-he could hit a mark a thousand times before missing it once. Hamilton was leaning against the trunk of the stalwart chestnut tree. He was bending forward slightly and staring va- cantly at the ground before him. His heart was filled with sorrow as he thought of his eldest son, whovhad fallen mortally wounded less than three years before on this same spot, murdered by the hand of a political associate of the man whom he was to meet within a few moments. He thought, too, of his many friends who had suffered on his behalf through the machinations of this cunning politician. How proper, ac- cording to the laws of men, that he should attempt to destroy this skulking enemy. But the laws of God have more of truth! than the laws of men. Should he raise his hand against his fellow-man? Should he commit a moral crime? Could he afford to so debase himself as to attempt to take the life of a human being, even though an enemy? His Ieverie was interrupted by Pendleton, who stepped up to him and touched him on the shoulder. He was placed ten paces a.way from Burr, who stood with his back at the rough and precipitous rocks under which they stood. Everything was done in per- fect silence. A bird, further up the river, was calling to its mate, and with every little puff of wind there was a soft, low rustling of the foliage. Except for these, nn sounds could be heard. The boatman and surgeon had disappeared. Only Burr and Hamilton, each with a pistol in his hand, and the seconds a few steps away. As Pendleton turned to go, he said to Hamilton, Will you have the hair- spring set? Not this time, was the quiet reply. The seconds stood off at one side with their backs turned toward the combatants. Are you ready? asked Pendleton, and after a short pause he gave the word agreed upon, Present! Burr raised his pistol, took deliberate aim, and fired. Hamilton raised convulsively 83 on his toes and fell forward against the large sandstone boulder, his pistol going off and sending the bullet whizzing high through the dense foliage. Van Ness and Burr hastily went to their boat. Pendleton and Dr. Hosack ran up to assist Hamilton, who gasped out, This is a mortal wound! and then lost all consciousness. With the as- sistance of tl1e boatman the wounded man was tenderly carried to his boat, and thence conveyed to his friend Bayard's house. He suffered intensely and died there the next day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Seldom is tl1e country so deeply stirred as it was at this time. Men of every party and of different opinionsupaid a noble tribute witl1 their tears to this greatest of financiers, a statesman, a gentleman and a friend. Governor Morris delivered the funeral oration to an immense encourse of people from a temporary stage erected in front of Trinity church, and on the fourteenth, this martyr to the cause of good government was buried with military honors. -H, N.

Beecher: Well, I'm willing to go to almost any extreme to accommodate you, even this, but really, old fellow, I'd like to know a. little better just what I'm getting into. Cook: Well, I haven't got all summer to explain it all over again before the Mrs. comes down: but you see what I want is a chance to give myself a puff to the old lady and at the same time to Ilnd out, if I can, what the dear girl thinrks about me. Now you'll introduce yourself as Homer Cook and me as Walter Beecher, your churn. Then I'll engage the good dame in conversation and by a little of my skillful manoeuvering, I'll kill the two birds with one stone. Beecher: Thats all right for you, but what in the deuce am I going to do while you are working the old lady? Cook: By George, I hadn't thought about that. Let me see, what im dickens are you going to do? Oh, I'll tell you what you can be doing. You can suddenly remem- ber that you've got to mail that letter that you were writing on the train.

Beecher: Why, we hadn't thought of that: but certainly, Mrs. Baird, we should be charmed. We have already experienced Miss Allce's charms and so we can form some faint idea of what her mother's society must beg and from whatgwe already know of your young ladies here, I am sure that we should enjoy becoming better acquainted with Miss Williams. Mrs. B.: Oh, you flatterer! That is the way you college boys beguile the girls. Jessie: Yes, Alice has told me how the college boys 'jolly' the girls: I always told her they couldn't jolly me. Beecher: I wouldn't be too sure of that if I were you. You don't know what terrible fellows the college boys are. Jessie: Wel1, I wouldu't be afraid of their 'jollylngf 1've seen 'some 'joshers' myself. Beecher: You just wait until you've met a genuine college 'josher,' you may have to change your mind. Come on, let's sit down on this sofa over here. I Cook: I'm afraid you will get a poor opinion of college boys, Mrs. Baird: but Cook doesn't mean half he says, for he is one of the stralghtest and best fellows that cver lived. ' Mrs. B.: Is that so? And he's a. great deal better looking than I had supposed from his picture. . Cook: You have seen my picture-er-ahem, you have seen' Mr. Cook's picture, then? - Mrs. B.: Yes, and really, Mr. Beecher, I supposed at flrst that you were Mr. Cook. . Cook: Why, er-yes, our friends have noticed a striking resemblance between Mr. Cook and myself. s Jessie: Mr, Cook, wouldn't you like to come out and see the cozy place in. the grape-arbor, where Alice entertains her gentlemen friends in the summer-time? It's vc-ry romantic out there. Beecher: I didn't know that Alice entertained any other gentlemen friends: but, of course, I should be interested to see the place where my hated rivals bask in her smiles. , Jessie: You foolish fellow! what do you suppose she does with herself all these pretty moonlight evenings? I hope you don't suppose she spends all her time moping about her college beaux, do you? E Beecher: Oh, well, she don't have all the fun there is going. Jessie: We're going out to the grape-arbor, Mrs. Baird. Mrs. B.: ','Very well, but, Mr. Cook, let me warn you that more than one young man has met his fate' in that grape-arbor. Jessie: 'tYes, Alice shows no mercy when she gets a fellow into that grape-arbor. fExeunt Jessie and Beecher.J SCENE II. Cook: I guess that such things as that occurred before Miss Alice became ac- quainted with Mr. Cook, probably. Mrs. B.: Well, I don't know about that: the grape-arbor has had a good many occupants this vacation. Cook: Well, I'll venture to say that Cook is the best fellow who has been in 86 that arbor this summer. Mrs. B.: I've no doubt: but still, we have some very nice young men here, too, Mr. Beecher: but I must admit that Mr. Cook has a very 'taking' manner. He certainly makes friends easily. Why, he and jessie appear like old friends already. Are you sure he doesen't make friends a little too easily? That is, isn't he inclined to be something of as-flirt? Of course, you know, a mother can't be too anxious about her daughter's company. - fEnter Alice Baird, in raver g . . . . . talking to herself.j I wonder who in the world that was in the grape-arbor with Jessie as I came in, They seemed to be havinga gay time, I don't know who he was, but he certrinly looked liked Mr. Cook's friend, Mr. Beecher: of course, it couldn't have been he, but who ever he was, there's nothing slow about hini. But I must find mamma and tell her why I have come back. Why here she is now and who is that with her? Why! why it's-no, it can't be-yes, it is Mr. Cook. k Oh Mrs Baird I can assure you that vonr fears are entirely groundless. t l'n 'ittire with 1 grip She advances unobserved Coo : , ,. . , - .. , Mr. Cook and I have been intimately acquainted for a number of years and I have never known anyone to cast a slur upon his characterg and as far as I know he has never done an underhanded thing. But as far as flirting is concerned, nothing could be far- ther from his mind. Why, just last year he stopped going to chapel prayers because some of the girls tried to Hirt with him during the exercises: and he says he isn't go- ing this year if they try it again. Alice fasidejz Poor fellow! Ilut what is this he's telling mamma? What Mr. C-wok is he talking about? Surely not himself. Mrs. B.: 'WVhy his prayers.

I don't know anything about thatg but I don't feel very rs much worried about it. Alice is too young to be settling such thn1gs yet awlnle, and then there are several young fellows around here whom she thinks as much of as she does of Mr. Cook, I dare say. Cook: But she corresponds with him pretty regularly, dosen't she? Mrs: B.: Oh, I suppose so: but if all of Alice's gentlemen correspondents were l' k tl t tl1e affair has gone pretty far. serious, she would be overwhehned with lovers. Cook: Well I ani quite sure that Mr. Cook attaches a great deal of significance I to the affair, anyhow. He hasn't told me how much he thinks of Miss Alice, of course, but I know that it is a great deal. Of course, Mrs. Baird I am entirely disinterested in the matter, except as a friend, but they do seem so well adapted to each other. He is such a genuine and honorable fellow and she is such a perfect lady. I never saw two people whom I would rather see happy together. Mrs. B.: This is very good of you to be so loyal to your friend, Mr. Beecher. But hush! Here they come back again. 87 SCENE III. fEnter Jessie and Beecher.J Mrs. B.: Well, Mr. Cook, how did you enjoy your trip to tl1e grape-arbor? Beecher: Very much, indeed. Miss Williams and I have been having a very en- joyable time, haven't we, Jessie? Mrs. B.: You seem to have become pretty well acquainted with 'Jessie' Beecher: I am sure I never met anyone whom I enjoyed more--that is, of course, with one exception. Mrs. B.: I am glad you remembered to make an exception. I thought that per- haps you had forgotten it. Cook: There's no danger of Mr. Cook forgetting that. Even in a grape-arbor he couldn't forget Miss Alice, I'll venture. Jessie: No, I reminded him of her several times. CAsideJ Now, Mr. Cook, do sit over a little. That's all right in a grape-arborg but it isn't 'proper' here. Mrs. B.: What did you say, Jessie? Jessie: I was just telling Mr. Cook that we aren't in the grape-arbor now. Cook Qlooking at his watchjz I declare! it is almost train-time. Colne on, old man, welve got to leave. Mrs. B.: I am sorry that you are obliged to go so soon. We have enjoyed your visit ever so much. Jessie: Yes, indeed, we have, ever so much. I hope you'll come again some time, Mr. Cook. Mrs. B.: The college 'josher' seems to have made a favorable impression after all, Jessie. I shall tell Alice all about your call, Mr. Cook. Beecher: Oh, we'll probably see Miss Alice before you do and we'll-- fEnter Alice same as before.J Alice: Who is that who is going to see Alice? Why--Mr. Cook and Mr. Beecher-I am so glad to see you both. Beecher Qasidej: Great heavens! here's Alice! lTo Cookj I thought you said- Mrs. B.: Why, Alice dear! What are you doing here? I supposed that you were half way to Oberlin by this time. You must explain yourself. Cook Qasidejz Holy smoke! It's all over now. Letls make a dash! Alice: Well, you see, when I got to the station I found Myrtle Evans there and she's going to Oberlin tomorrow and she coaxed me to stay and go with her. I'm so glad she did, for now I'll have a nice visit with Mr. Cook and Mr. Beecher without having to think of those horrid rules. Of course, you can stay and go with us to- morrow, too, can't you, Mr. Cook. Cook Quneasilyj: I'm sorry, Miss Baird, but I've promised to be in Oberlin to- ll night. Alice Oh, Mr. Beecher! Etogetherf Jessie Oh, Mr. Cook!'l Mrs. B.: Why, Alice, you are wrong. Aren't you mistaken? Why his name is Mr. Beecher and you are calling him 'Mr. Cook! Cook Qlooking hurriedly at his watchjz I'm very sorry, but we llB.VC1l'l1 a mo- ment to lose: we've just five minutes to catch our train. Good-bye! Come on, Beecher -I mean Cook! Alice fas they are departingj: Good-bye, Mr. Cook: I hope that the girls won't flirt with you so that you can't go to chapel this year. Perhaps I'm not the only one who isn't entirely insensible to your charms. fEX6lll1t Cook and Beecher in confusion.J 88 Z' l 1 There's a. scurry of feet in the quiet street, There's a clashing of arms in the night, And the clatter of hoofs comes over the roofs, As the cavaliers mount for the fight. From manse and from hall, comes a cry and a call, Hark! how the shrill trumpets ring! To horse and away. ere the dawning of day, Up, comrades, and follow the King! There's a swift parting word, and the clang of a sword ' Quick laggard, the trumpet, give heed! There's a. snapping of whips, one kiss on her lips, And Prince Eric has sprung to his steed. With fluttering plume, he sped through the gloom Nor heeded his fair la.dy's cryg For, booted and spurred, and waiting his word, Are a full hundred horsemen near by. Come, follow me, men! he shouted, and then Was a plunging of roan and of bay. There's the flash of a spark, and then all is dark, And the horsemen a mile away! But over the hill comes echoing still The snatch of the song they sing, As onward they dash, plying boot-spur and lash To answer the call of the King. Fond hearts are breaking with first leave-taking In the village that fateful night, And the bride of a day was swodning away When the young lord galloped from sight. There's cursing and swearing while lanterns are daring, And only the children are sleeping. There's the half-muflled sound of a deep baying hound, And the women are sobbing and weeping. And they listen to catch the last faint snatch Of a song that the night winds bring. Then kneel down and pray till the breaking of day, For the Cavaliers gone to the King. -John P.

Occasionally drawing his great rough hand over the dark stubble ou his round face and double chin, he leaned his pouclerous, blue-overalled form agains. the galley-rail beside the uniforned man who was calling the names. Berry O'Leary, came in thick, alcoholic tones, as the man in the brass buttons turned the page of the ship's register. Here Oi am, sor, called out a rosy-checked, twinkling-eyed little Irishman, whose self-possession marked him as a regular or experienced cattle-feeder. Patrick O'Leary, growled the blue-coated ofiicer. Present, sir, came the hardly audible response. A The short glance, which the group usually sent in the direction of the answer, was this time prolonged into a stare of surprise and curiosity. An alias if there ever was one, muttered the Harvard man to his chumg and the signillcant grin into which the stare was gradually changed showed that the same conviction was general. For the response had come, not from a coarse-faced son ol' the auld sod, but from a tall, delicately featured young man, the pale weariness of whose downcast face gave evidence that something had gone fearfully wrong. The depressing fogs of the Banks had finally been left behind. The weather was now enjoyable and we were becoming accustomed to the fore'man's prayers as he sometimes called his fierce curses-accustomed to all except those directed at Patrick O'I.eary. Nicknamed the Dead Man because of his physical weakness and ill health, he had become, by his constant silence and lowered eyes, the object of the distrustful whispers of even the tramps, and the especial victim of the uneven temper of the boss. But to all the insult heaped upon him by foreman and crew, the young man maintained th-e same stated indifference. Nor did he flinch in the least when, on the flfth day out-Sunday, it was- Dinny's prayers were intensified into blasphemies which made the faces of even the regulars turn pale. The iirst steer to be lost on the trip had been found dead early that morning. By noon two more had died in a manner which seemed to leave little doubt as to the nature of the cause. I had somehow felt an interest in one who could bear so sil- ently, so much harsh treatment as did the sad-faced Dead Man, but it was useless -dangerous, in fact-for me to attempt to defend him longer from the muttered ac- cusations of the men. To them all it was plain enough that he was taking this means of answering the abuses he had suffered. Five days had been enough to show him that H92 to the foreman the lives of his cattle are infinitely more precious than the welfare of his men. A capital way to get even with old Dinnyg but God knows I wouldn't be in thet fellow's shoes for all the wealth that ever crossed this sea, exclaimed the little Boston Tech. student, as, with his elbow on the rail, he tried to coax into a curl his bash- ful mustache. The sulr, as it dipped that night into the far-off waters, looked upon the big fore- man's almost uncontrollable wrath-and for two nights following, as each day, amld the weird screams of the steam winch, three or four carcasses were hoisted from below and dropped, splashing, into the waves. Wednesday came and still no real evidence had been gained against the Dead Man. The excitement which pervaded the cattle-crew was becoming intense. Oi'm domme'd, said 0'Leary the regular, and he gave his little corn-cob a trial puff for the after-dinner smoke, 0l'm dommed if iver he com from County Kerry with the rest o' the O'Leary's5 but yez kin hit me with the propeller-shaft if iver Oi see the hate av 'im fer slickness. Don't yer 'ave no fear but wot 'eel git cornered-and it mye be 'eel open that mouth 'o 'is thln, rejoined the stocky little second foreman, Paddy Murphy. in his Liverpool English. And indeed it had been a source of surprise to us all that the little black eyes of Paddy had not yet been sharp enough to discover the Dead Man in the act of administering the poison. But we still had boundless confidence in the shrewdness of a man who could make so perfect a picture of the ideal cattle-man as did he now, as, after knocking his pipe against a sta.nchion, he caught up his club, threw a ragged cap on his bristly black hair, and started on his rounds as day watchman. Fifteen minutes later the Harvard student appeared, pale and horror-struck, be- neath the opening of the bunker hatch, near which we had gathered. For God's sake, boys, come for'ard quick! Paddy's'killed-he got the Dead Man in the act! he exclaimed in a breath. Tumbling down the hatch, falling through the companion-way, we reached the low- er deck. Catching up pitchforks, hatchets, brooms we rushed, cursing, between the rows of frightened cattle. Nor did the terrible oaths grow fainter when we caught sight of the Dead Man coolly fanning with his hat the pale face of Murphy, who lay insen- slble upon the floor of hay-bales which had been spread near the fore-peak. Kill him, would ye? Well, -1 l- we'll see who's killed, roared Dinney and, insane with rage, the great boss darted ahead of the group and leaped upon the platform of hay. It was no time for inaction. Springing to his feet the Dead Man clutched the wrists of his ponderous assailant. Back and forth, stumbling, staggering, the couple reeled. Finally they paused, panting. Almost exhausted from the wildness of his effort, the livld Diggins glared at his opponent, who, in calm possession of his strength. inferior though it was, seemed little wearied. As they stood, the boat careened suddenly to starboard. A step forward, a quick twist and the big foreman fell heavily to the floor. With a cry of astonishment and passion the regulars leaped to protect their fallen boss from foul play. But the Dead Man cast upon them a glance of scorn and turned his back upon his prostrate enemy. Faith, Oi'1n glad to see yez pull up their blinds agin, me bye, said Berry O'Leary, the regular, two hours later, as the day watch-man opened his eyes and gazed wonderingly about the forecastle. But yez 'll not soon fergit the Dead Man. , 93 'Ee did spile me little job, that's sure. Wot's Dinny 'ad ter sye abaout it? an- swered Paddy slowly. He's got 'im in oirons in the lazarette, said Berry, and he shrugged his shoul- ders as he remembered the many times he had got hay out of the hot, dark store-room. Wat's 'ee a-slingin' at, in puttin' the Dead Mon in oirons? asked the day watchman. Fer nothin', sure, but pisenin the cattle, Paddy. Faith, that was a hard hit yez got-yez ain't roight yit. Paddy rolled over toward the wall. It was flve minutes before he turned again. Wot if it wuzn't 'im as pizened them cattle, Berry? he said. There, there-turn over fer a bit ov a snooze. The Dead Mon hadnft a word to say whin they locked 'im up. Yez look a bit excited, mon, said Berry. And he reached for the dipper that stood near. I-Iooray! Wot now? he cried when, turn- ing, he beheld his patient clamber swiftly from his bunk, and, staggering past the table, half fall, half run down along the narrow alley-way. Dennis Diggins was sitting on the hatch at the engineer's gangway, his great, round head resting heavily on his scaly hands. The trip had been an unfortunate one for the foreman. He, himself, had been disgraced, his most trustworthy sub-foreman had been assaulted, and worst of a.ll, nearly five tons of .meat had been lost. The day of return to Boston, which would bring the sight of his wife and his girls, would doubt- less bring. too, his discharge for having lost so many of his cattle. He started up in utter amazement as Paddy shouted in his ear. ' I'll not let 'im paye any 'o me debts. Git 'lm aout the lazarette, quick. I did it, I tell yer. I pisened 'em, damn me, ter git your job. The little Englishman had almost despaired of convincing his foreman that he DID know what he was talking about and WAS in his right mind when, taking things into his own hands, he darted aft into the wheel-house and loosened the trap- door which shut out light and air from the lazarette. It was done in self-defense, slr, said the Dead Man a fe-w minutes later, in an- swer to Denny's question. As Paddy saw me he pitched a small bottle out of the port- hole-I suppose it was poison, sir-and then lunged at me. I dodged, and as he passed me, hit him Lehind the ear. Thot's the right av lt, Dinny, added Paddy. Well, I am d-d. said Dinny sadly. It was Friday evening and Liverpool was only three hundred miles away. The next afternoon the boat would be in her dock. The twilight of that last evening spread around an unusual calm, Even the cattle seemed hushed into silence and had ceased the bel- lowing set up when they first caught the scent of the green pastures of the Irish coast. This now lay only a, few furlongs to port and behind its rugged slopes the sun, with a last glow of golden splendor, was slowly sinking from sight. We were sitting astride the great anchor, far forward. Overcome by the quiet sub- limity of the scene, we had been long silent. Hearing a sound from my com-pan'on, I looked up to catch his words: but the Dead Man had only sighed. Cheer up, old man, until tomorrow, I laughed, and added: I didn't think even a magnificent Irish sunset could get a sigh from you. That's just it-you fellows have a wrong opinion of me-wrong from beginning to end. You thought me first a thief and then some kind of a wronged hero. I'm only a college man in disgrace. I was plucked two weeks ago at Dartmouth. I-Ie spoke rapidly as if to get it all quickly from his thoughts. , 94 But it was all for Jim's sake, and he seemed to lose himself in trying to wipe from his mind the stigma of his disgrace by the worthiness of its cause. 0h! pardon me. Of course you don't know Jim, he went on a moment later. Jim was a freshman, wild but inexperienced and kind. I nursed him through a tever he caught on a fearful spree. It took time-lots of it--but he promised to brace up when he got well. Two weeks ago today I was plucked because of the lost time. That word 'plucked' seems just as big and mean out here as it did back there, though I tried to get away from it and rest. Two Weeks ago tonight Jim got drunk again and the fever came back worse than ever. Three days later he died. C. W. WILLIAMS. A Love Song.

ACH age has its own immortal events, and those of ours are but additions to a long list of predecessors. In America's history the most brilliant chapter of signal achievements is furnished by our navy. Its entire career is one that challenges admiration. No nation has done so much with so little, no other nation can boast of having turned such mighty odds into such glorious victories. But in 1790 the United States was practically without a navy, About this time the Mediterranean pirates of Algiers, Tripoli and Morocco began to seriously interfere with our commerce, which was fast increasing in that part of the world. Finally, in 1803, Commodore Preble, one of the greatest commodores the American navy ever produced, was dispatched to the Mediterranean with a small squadron to undertake tl1e task of subduing the pirates. He directed his course to Tripoli, tl1e chief stronghold of the pirates, wl1icl1 was powerfully protected by forts and guns. While preparing for the attack, the Philadelphia, a forty-four gun frigate, and the second largest ship of the navy, cruised actively in the neighborhood of tl1e town to intercept and destroy the pirate ships of Tripoli. While chasing a Tripolitan vessel, the Philadelphia ran upon a rock near tl1e entrance of the harbor and could not be got off. She was quickly surrounded by Tripolitan gunboats, and her brave captain, with his crew of over four hundred, after partly scuttling her, was forced to surrender. He and his whole ship's company were immediately taken to Tripoli and thrown into a dungeon. The work of scuttling the ship had been imperfectly do11e, and in a few weeks the ship was repaired and relitted by the Tripolitans, and lay at anchor before the Basha's castle, with the Tripolitan flag flying at her peak. As the Philadelphia in the hands of her new owners commanded the entrance to the harbor, successful operations on the part of the Americans were impossible until this obstacle was removed. A plan was finally adopted, and its execution intrusted to Stephen Decatur, then lieutenant commander of the schooner Enterprise. He was then 24 years of age, tall and handsome, with a tremendous but musical voice, and known as an admirable sea- man and a man absolutely without fear. Decatur had lately captured a Tripolitan ketch wl1ich had been renamed the Intrepid. As it was necessary to enter the harbor by stratagem, this ketch, which was of a build and rig CO!11Il10l1 in the Mediterranean, was to be used instead of Decatur's ow11 schooner, Enterprise. The little vessel, wl1icl1 was of only sixty tons, and carried four small guns, was to be disguised as a fruit vessel from Malta, and such of her otiicers and 1nen as were to be seen were dressed as Maltese sailors. The enterprise was one requiring desperate valor and the utmost coolness and in- telligence, but the men wl1o undertook it were admirably qualified for it. In order to form a just estimate of l'lecatur's desperate undertaking, it must be remembered that the Philadelphia had forty-four guns. These were double shotted and ready for firing, while the full crew was kept constantly on board to serve her batteries. Near were a score of Tripolitan gunboats, while in a semicircle about the rocky basin was a chain of forts from w11icl1 frowned a hundred and fifteen guns of heavy caliber. Such were the 96 formidable defenses which Decatur with his little ketch of sixty tons and four guns, and a crew of seventy-five souls, had to face in destroying the Philadelphia. One beautiful February evening, the sixteenth, the little party found themselves at the entrance of the harbor of Tripoli. The brig Syren, 'Captainl Stewart, which had ac- companied the expedition, lay becalmed in the ofllng, so it could render no assistance. The little Intrepid drifted slowly into the harbor. On board everything was in readiness for the desperate attack. The ammunition and combustibles were onw the deck covered with tarpaulin. The men, armed and ready, were concealed by the bulwarks. Only a few oiilcers with round jackets and hats, lay about the deck. Salvatore Catalano, who could speak the 'tlingua franca, was at the wheel, with Decatur near. The night had fallen, but a glorious crescent moon arose and filled the harbor with light. The breeze fellhcausing the ketch's motion on the calm blue- water to become almost imperceptible. Still she kept slowly on and when within a few hundred yards of the black hull of the Philadelphia, the Tripolitan oilicers of the deck called to know what vessel was in the ofilng, meaning the Syren. The shrewd pilot, Catalano, readily answered, The Transfer, a transport which the Tripolitans had lately bought and were hourly expecting. When the Intrepid had come a little nearer, Catalano asked permission to lie by the frigate until morninggas they had lost their anchors in a recent gale. The frigate's ofllcer hesitated, but at last consented. Had the Intrepid's character then been suspected, she would have been blown out of the water, for she was directly under the Philadelphiafs broadside. When only a few yards from the frigate, the boat swun-g into a patch of moonlight and her anchors were seen on deck. Keep off, shouted the Tripolitan officer, but it was too late. Board, answered Decatur, and his men swarmed up the sides of the great vessel. The struggle was fierce, but short. The Tripolitans, celebrated for their determined hand-to-hand fighting, fought bravely, but were overpowered. In twenty-five minutes gunpowder and combustibles had been placed in every part of the ship and the bottom had been blown out of the vessel by a couple of eighteen-pounders pointed downward. Everything having been done, the boarders, without a man missing, and only one injured, dropped into their little ketch and pushed away from the burning ship. Instantly every gun in the harbor opened upon them. Solid shot plowed up great fountains of water and shrieked over their heads. As- the fire reached the rigging, the heroic little band stopped rowing and gave three thunderous cheers. Then they settled back to their sweeps and were soon out of danger. Lord Nelson, when he heard of the desperate undertaking, declared it to be the most daring and bold act of the age, and the whole world echoed his verdict. The event will ever form a glorious page in the history of the navy. P. B. T. 97 Inst Partners. ELEGRIME! Woyld! Joynal! The boy stood at the foot of the elevated railroad stairs at Twenty- eighth street eagerly scanning the stumbling throng of bundled passers, who were hurrying home from the matinees intent only on reaching the shelter of the crowded trains that rumbled overhead. Evenin' piper! Blizzard extry! All about the- The boy drew in his breath and shivered. I looked aft him hurriedly, then glanced from out the upturned collar of my ulster across and up and down the street. It was blocked with great drifts of snow. Not a surface car was in sight. A cab struggled down the middle of the street almost enveloped in a cloud of driven snow. The wind blew tlercely, sweeping exposed corners bare, piling the swirling flakes thicker and higher against the brown-stone stoops, and filling up the areas. The thermometer stood at zero and we had had two days of this already. I wanted a paper to learn when it would stop, but could not find my accustomed boy. Wan' a piper, Sir?' Lots o' flres. Telegrime? No. Post. Posts is sold out. Joynal? It's two cents tonight. I shook my head. Slay, are you Buck's doctor frlen'? He says the Doc never takes anythin' on'y the Post. He scurried off and disposed of two papers. A loose, buttonless jacket, no overcoat, no mittens-and he sprang back through two feet of snow. Yes. Where is Buck? Is he sick? Yessir. Worse 'an 'atl I'm handlin' his pipers. A1ly's gone to your house. Won't you go see him? I'd show ye, on'y I got to finish dese-Yessir! On'y Woyld an' Joynal. Woyld? While I watched the boy make the sale and shiveringly count out the change, I stamped my feet and thought of the little family dinner in the warm room that awaited my retum with the paper. But Buck was an old friend. I'1l take what's left of your stock. Go ahead, and you had better run if you don't want to freeze to death. Is he hurt? Badly? Yessir! He shifted the papers under his arm and headed west, making for a bare spot on the south side of the street. There were no sidewalks visible and the narrow tortuous path that the few returning workmen had made down the street led around the drifts and through the hollows the flerce wind had swept out. Along this we hurried till we reached Tenth avenue. As we turned the corner and faced the north wind we came upon two fire engines busily pumping, around whose hot boilers was huddled a collection of walfs while the firemen busled themselves elsewhere. ' A flagrant breach of the rules and discipline of the New York flre department, I thought, but rules go down before sympathy on a night like this. My guide turned around, breathing hard and with a reverential look in his eyes. That's the place, he said. Buck an' de kid bunked dere-on de Second St0I'Y --back. 4 98 We jumped into a drift and commenced crossing the street to get around the ob- struction. When we reached the other side of the avenue I looked across at the ruined building. It had been a six-story tenement. Its brick walls were charred and still smoking, while the ruined front was covered with a thick white glare of ice that sparkled in the light of the arc lamps. Great icicles hung across every window and the streams that still poured from the hose fell swishing against the ice sheet, we-lled downwards, streamed, trickled and froze. After following the path two blocks further we pushed open a door, passed th-rough a gathering of boys who whispered aloud: The Doc, and started up stairs. But before we reached the top the whispered word had passed from floor to floor and three or four boys were leaning over the shaky railing waiting for us. From a half-opened door came a hubbub. We all went in and found about twenty boys crowded into a fair- sized room with four beds in it, talking all at once to a well-wrapped young man with a note-book in his hand who stood near the bed farthest from the window. I went to his side at once and looked down at the thinly covered bed. while a. hush fell upon the room. Knocked out. Buck? He tried to smile. A little hunchback who was crouched on the ground near his head, grasped my arm and cried plaintively, O Doctor-- Shi I turned to the reporter. Fm afraid this work is for me. Will you kindly go out into the hall or down' stairs? You can get the story there. Clear out, will you, fellows? T'here's no chance for him if you all stay here. A few started for the door, but the reporter said: Well, I guess this is my case. F111 801115 for a doclor in a few minutes. The Jo-urnal takes care' of heroes and foots the bills. too. I-Ie seated himself roughly on the bed and I heard Buck whisper a moan. That's right, said several of the boys, De Joynal man'll fix him. Who owns this room, I asked. I A red-haired, raw-boned lad spoke up: I'rn one o-f 'em. You know me. I'm Buck's friend. He'll never get well unless' this room is quiet. You Watch the door. I took out my receipt pad and wrote on a dozen sheets. Here, take this to the nearest drug store as quick as you can! And you this! Hurry! It will take three of you to bring this coal order. They grabbed at the sheets and disappeared with a great clattering on the stairs. What is your name? All right, Reddy. Leave the door open about a foot and stand just outside. Pass in the stuff when it comes. Only you and your partners can come in. I turned to the bed again and won a glance of recognition from the boy lying' there. Well, now for you, Buck. I took off my coat and turned to the reporter, who was moving towards the door. Help me lift him on the table. He did not turn' his head, but squeezed through the door, leaving Buck, the Kid and myself alone. I worked hard for more than an hour. The boy was badly burned about the back and legs and from lack of immediate treatment was a m-ost pitiable thing to see. After Reddy, my guard, and one of his partners had set the fire going in the stove, and all the druggist's supplies had been passed into the room with much mystery by whisper- ing boys outside, the place grew very -quiet. The Kid moved restlessly about watching every movement I made, assisted me in the baudaging, remade the bed with added 99 blankets from the others, and when I had flnally laid Buck back on the bed, slipped quiet- ly out of the room. Buck was faint, too faint even to feel his pain, and lay in a kind of stupor. I knew him well, the best-natured, jolliest, most lovable boy that ever revelled in the sunshine and suffered in a storm. ' The Kid came in quietly: The boys want to know if they can see him now, doctor? What, h'aven't they gone yet? 'No, sir. T'here's two at the front door and two on each landing keeping people quiet, and there's a lot in the street. Reddy's running them. No, Tell them not till morning. Say I'll stay with him all right. The doctor thanks them. What an unfathomable being a boy is-swayed by impulse, little moved by reason, one moment thoughtless, cruel, another careful, tenderg and under all moved by the spirit that moves men. In a moment the Kid returned with Reddy. I shook the guard's hand and motioned to a cot near the lamp that the Kid had shaded with a newspaper. How did it happen? You tell him, Kid. You've been to school most. I can't. You see it's my fault. He turned his pale, thin face full on me. Well, Doc, I can't tell much. I on'y got to fractions. Buck and de Kid was bunkin' alone up in de Roost. You see de Kid couldn' work and Buck had to lick a lot of fellers on account of him at first. So they bunked up there an' de Kid studied most of de time. An' this afternoon flrs' t'ing I knew somebody yells, 'The Roost's afire!' an' I run. Lord, it was de bigges' fire I've seen since Boody's factory burnt down. De engines was jus' gettin' out ther hose an' you wouldn't think they'd stop that blaze till it reached the East River. Firemen was runnin' into the buildin' and luggin' out anyone they could Hn', and the crowd yellin' to them at the windows to walt for the ladders, an' a hook an' ladder tryin' to get down the avenue through that snow. Oh, it was awful! An' then the water begun freezin' on the buildin' and everybody was got out, it looked like. For you couldn't see anythin'-much for the smoke. Next I see Buck come rippln' through the snow yellin': 'Where's de Kld?' And we all looked around, but he wasn't 'ere. So we yelled, 'I-Iey, Kldl' The frail boy nestled coughing against my side. It was so cold and things was so mixed up that the firemen let us close up and never stretched a rope at all. Buck, he runs right up to t' door and says somethin' to a big fireman, and he yells out: 'Hell, no! Get out of here! But Buck jus' grabbed up a rubber blanket and jumped up 'em steps. Dere was a big crackle jus' then and de gang dropped back a little, but I couldn' move or get my eyes off 'at door with the smoke comin' out. The big fireman was lookin' too, but in a minute he yells to another one, 'Bill, there's the damndest pluckiest kid in this town. Come onl' And they fixed their helmets and rubber things and jumped in too. An' then we waited. 4 I'll tell you. The drawn: face looked up half eagerly. The Kid was afraid that a portion of his hero's praise should go unsung. I was studying when I heard people yelling, 'Firel' and began to smell smoke. I went to the window and opened it, but didn't see anything, so I leaned 'way out and the window slipped and came down right in the middle of my back. You know it isn't like other people's. I think I must have tainted or something, for the next thing I knew I was feeling dizzy and tried to yell to some people going down the fire escape from the next room. But I couldn't hardly speak, and it hurt awfully when I tried to move the window by shoving with my back. And then I dldnft know anything again tllbghe smoke came out of the windows below l and there was an awful noise. Then I was grabbed from behind and wrapped in a rubber thing-and I knew it was Buck. Next, I was in the street. Reddy broke in: You see t' firemen found Buck and him at L' bottom of t' stairs where they's fell to. An' when dey got 'em out we fellows jus' grabbed 'em quick before de hospital men could get at 'em. De Kid wasn't hurted a bit. Buck says to get you, and 'en he didn't say anythin' more an' we was scared. An' the Joynal feller come in-an' dat was all. A head was pushed in the door, and a hoarse voice whispered: Say, de boys say dere's a kid below what de firemen sent an' wants to know how is de nervy kid. I went to the door. Tell them that he will pull through all right. Send one of the fellows to my house to say I won't be home tonight. There was a stir on the bed. I crossed and bent o-ver to catch the breathing. I-Ie stirred again. Doc-is de Kid--hunky? Yes, I said. Fine He smiled and lay quiet. I went back to the shaded lamp. Are you his brother, Kid? No, sir. Just his pardnerf' Within the room' we three settled down to watch through the night. And every hour the door was pushed quietly open, a whispered question was asked, an assuring answer was given, and a dozen restless boys were glad as they fell asleep on the stairs. LUCIEN T. WARNElR, '98. Maia! Spring Song. When I hear the birds singing their jubilant song, When I hear the brook's tune'as he dashes along- And such blithesome sounds fall On my ears, that they ring with the joy of the Spring- Then I hear a song that is louder than all In my heart. When the stillness is music-when only the breeze Is humming soft lullabies up in the trees, And nothing can mar The melody light in the sweetness of night- Still I know a song that is sweeter by far In-my heart. 101 A WYnfer Acquaintance. T was the first promenade concert of the season. The clear southern moon looked down upon the festive scene, and its almost unnatural brightness seemed to give a touch of romance to everything. It fell upon the parapet of old Fort Marion, and upon the long line of gaily-dressed promenaders. In the court below the brass instruments of the military band gleamed in. its bright light, and its clear round face was reflected in the bay, whose waters washed the base of the old fort. The old city of St. Augustine seemed transformed by its light into a veritable dreamland. The music in the court below ceased for an interval. John Allen' and Ellen Po-wers paused, left the line of p1'omenaders, and going to the edge of the parapet, stood silently looking' down on the quiet scene beneath them. John was the taller by a good six inches and of rather a slight build. He turned from the scene and looked at Ellen as she stood there, her white dress and light brown hair gleaming in- the moonlight. As he watched her a big tear-drop suddenly glistened in each eye. He silently laid his hand on hers as it rested on the edge of the parapet, and his own trembled as he did so. Ellen glanced up quickly, her eyes no-w filled with tears, and with a little sob said, I can't realize lt, John. What shall I ever do? Three years is such a long time, too, and tomor- row is so near. Couldn't you put off your going for a. week longer? But there, I shan't say another word about it, it's bad enough for you, I know. Let's go home, sha.n't we? Your saying this doesn't make it harder for me, dear, said John, I'm glad you said it. I'd give anything if tomorrow were not so near, but we'1l both be happy ln each other's misery. Yes, let us go home. The music is somehow out of tune ton-ight. John Allen and Ellen Powers had grown up together as children on neighboring plantations, on the outskirts of St. Augustine. Before the war both families had been opulent. Since then all was changed and now they were poor but proud. To John Allen, about to start a home of his own, this poverty was particularly galling, and he had undertaken a. business venture ini the West, under the direction of an uncle living there. He hoped by this venture to mend the family embarrassment, and to possess, as Ellen's husband, a goodly fortune of his own. He must be gone three years at least, but even three years would finally pass, and then his plans for the future could perhaps be carried out. . 4' It if lk li ll 41 ll lk Two years have passed. The second winter season with its gaieties has come, and with the arrival of the winter visitors the old city seems to have come to a new con- sciousness of the pleasure of living. One of the latest arrivals, Mr. Chauncey McDonald, of Barrington Place, Hampton, England, has proved especially interesting. His name alone, suggestive of the ownership of some ancestral castle, was enough to gain for him an initial interest from society, and especially at a winter resort, where to be new is to be interesting. The fact that Mr. Chauncey McDonald came in a yacht of his own, which was even now anchored in the harbor, bespoke wealth. The fact also that Mr. McDonald had, with trunks and servants, settled in one of the largest hotels, seemed to indicate that he had come for the season. The winter visitors were glad to have as interesting a character with which to occupy their attention. It was again the ilrst promenade concert of the season. Ellen had begged her father 102 to come with her this evenlng. She wished especially to come this first evening, and then tomorrow sue would write to John- and tell him that the gay scene seemed less gay without him, how the new arrivals seemed less interesting, the music less dreamy, and even the moon not half so bright. The music had stopped and the promenaders stood in groups talking. Mr. Powers had paused, and was talking with lV.I.I'. Lirant, the other member of the Grant Sa Powers Co., about the probable output of a new kaolin mine they had just opened. Ellen, not finding their topic or conversation particularly interesting, had wandered on, and stood at a little distance leaning over the parapet, and watching the dancing renection of the moon in the water below. AS Ellen stood thus, a. gentleman approached from one of the groups, and leaning over the parapet near by, seemed to be enjoying the scene around him with the keen delight of a-first experience. Ellen noticed that he was tall and distinguished-looking, and that he was twlrllng a cane carelessly in his right hand. A new arrival, she thought to herself and went on musing. A moment later an exclamation of vexation again called her attention to the stranger, and she saw him gazing helplessly down o-ver the parapet. l-lls canehad disappeared. Ellen glancing down, saw the cane, its polished head gleaming ln the moon-light, lodged on the nuttress below. Pardon me, she said, moving a step nearer the stranger, there is a window in one of the old dungeons below, the one next the watch-tower on this side, that one window opens on this buttress, and I think you can regain your cane. The stranger lifted his hat, thanked her, and disappeared. A little later her father rejoined her, and just as they turned to start home the stranger reappeared carrying l1lS cane. Pardon me, he said, lifting his hat deferen- tially, and glancing from Ellen to her father, allow me to thank you for your kindness, and may I be paraoned it 1 introduce myself as Mr. Chauncey McDonald? A general introduction followed, and after an exchange of common-place remarks, Mr. Mc-.Donald said in response to Mr. Powers' inquiry: Yes, this ls my first visit to St. Augustine, and I expect to be here for the season. I have found it a trifle lonely here these first few days, as I am here without friends. And if you will pardon my franknessf' ne added, stooping easily to pick up the handkerchief Ellen had just dropped, I should consider it a great favor if you would permit me to be even a very formal friend. If you will allow, I will drop into your office and leave some letters of introduction and references to my banker in Englandf' he paused, waiting for Mr. Powers' answer. I am sure, Mr. Powers replied, that we will be pleased to do all in our power to make your stay here pleasant. I shall be in my office and at liberty tomorrow morning, and shall be pleased to meet you in my home. Mr. Chauncey McDonald called at the Powers home frequently. The Powers enjoyed extending hospitality to so pleasant and distinguished a guest. Money, an English title, and a yacht were not so common a. combination. Mr. McDonald on his part certain- ly found it convenient to ally himself socially wtlh one of the prominent families of the city. His visits grew more frequent as the season advanced. If it chanced to be bright moonlight, he would announce that he would much enjoy a moonlight excursion, and perhaps Miss Powers would favor him with her co-mpany, and that of a few of her friends whom she should like to have with her. And so excursion followed excursion, and Ellen and her friends revelled in Mr. McDonald's bounty. On all such occasions Mr. McDonald played the genial host, always, however, paying as marked attention to Ellen as she permitted. Naturally an engagement between the dashing Englishman and Miss Powers was soon rumored. After one of these moonlight excursions, where all the arrangements had been more 103 ' elaborate than ever, Ellen' Powers sat in her room thinking. She was sitting on the Iioor, her elbow resting on the low window-sill, and the night breeze from the bay blow- ing cool on her hot face. Everything was calm and quiet except Ellen herself. She was living over again the evening just past, and trying to determine what it all meant to her. Mr. McDonald had been more attentive than usual, more so than he had a right to beg more so than she had a right to let him be, she said to herself, as she thought of John Allen. How handsome he was, always at ease, and always master of the situation. He was older, to be sure, thirty-two, at least, though he seemed younger, and she was only nineteen. She remembered how he had entertained,them all on the way home with stories of his travels. And then the walk home together from the dock, she flushed faintly as she thought of it. He had told her so much with his eyes that she was fearful, and had carefully guarded the conversation. She had at least been true to John. But now what should she do? His older, more mature nature appealed strongly to her girllsh fancy, his ripe experience to her inexperience. She would write and tell John all and ask him to release her, that would be wisest. And yet how this would hurt John. She felt like a. cold-blooded villain, but it was John's right to know. With I1 choking little sob, she wished she had never seen Mr. Chauncey McDonald. She had been happy beforeg but still she was happy now, very happy. She rose, went to her little writing table, picked up her pen reluctantly, and wrote. It was a weak, faltering, but frank little letter. She couldn't say she loved Mr. McDonald, she said, but she admired him very, very much, so much that she felt it was Lest that their engagement should be broken. She was sorry to hurt him, and hoped he would forgive her. If she could only make him see just how she- felt, he would understand, and say she had done right, she was sure. It was late when the letter was done, and Ellen thought with a sigh, that in the morning a. party of them, with Mr. McDonald, of course, had planned a sail down the river. She was glad she had written to John before another meeting with Mr. McDonald. The following day was a perfect one for their trip, and every one seemed to be in holiday spirits. As usual, Mr. McDonald paid marked attention to Ellen. He was most solicitous for her least wish, and always made her pleasure his. To Ellen's youthful years such absolute devotion from an older man was intoxicating. That night after the excursion Ellen again sat thinking, this time of Mr. McDonald alone. She felt disturbed. She didn't understand him. 'Did he really love her, or was he only trying to see how much he could bring her to love him? Did she love him? She thought not, but yet she admired him greatly. The stately, polished Englishman seemed to her her ideal. She could easily learn to love him, she thought, but something within her had rebelled today for the first time, had rebelled against his slavish devotion. Was the novelty wearing off? No, she thought not, but it flashed through her mind that perhaps-no, he could not be trifling with her. The doubt having once taken form seemed-persistent, however. His whole attitude bespoke love, only the verbal sign had been wanting, but the more she thought, the more strongly was she convinced that she did not understand him. It was all a miserable affair, she was sick of it all, and she cried herself to sleep, finally, and dreamed of John Allen. A few days later John's letter came. It was a strong, manly letter, sa.ying that his feeling for her would never change, but that he gladly released her, for her sake if she felt it were best so. Inl closing he added: One thing I must still say, which you un- doubtedly will resent, but I say it because I care for your happiness. Mr. Chauncey McDonald, I am led to believe from what you wrote, is very much a man of society, and of the world, and I feel it my duty to admonish caution. I sincerely wish you the ' 104 greatest possible happiness. As for me I am done. I believe this is all. I shall not write again. My work here will be done in six months. We shall meet, when we meet, as friends. The remaining weeks o-f the winter season were passing quickly, and the round of gaieties still continued. Ellen threw herself into all with a sort of abandon. Mr. McDonald was as devotedly kind as ever. He was still an enigma, but a very agreeable one to her. She was having the very best time in her life, she told herself, for to reign as accepted queen of the season was a new experience to her, and she revelled in lt. The last week of the season came at last and with it the last promenade concert. Mr. McDonald was going to call in the evening and they were going to the concert to- gether. Ellen wondered vaguely what the evening would bring forth. She was sitting in the library waiting for the morning mail: the morning sun was streaming in at the windows and the morning paper lay still unfolded on the table at her side. She picked it up mechanically and glanced over the social column. The social doings of Mr. Chauncey McDonald usually headed the list. Yes, there was the account of the luncheon he had given in her honor the day before: Mr. Chauncey McDonald gave a very elaborate luncheon, followed by an informal hop, to a few of his friends on board of his yacht yesterday afternoon. The guests present were:- Ellen read no furtherg she noticed that her own. name headed the list. G-lancing down the co-lumn the last item next caught her notice. Mr. Chauncey McDonald sails for New York this afternoon inf his yach-t, the 'Fairy Queen.' He will be the first of the winter guests to leave, and his early departure will be greatly regretted. She laid the paper down slowly. A bright flush came and went in her cheeks. This afternoon, she repeated aloud to herself, a misprint, for surely- Jus' one lettah dis mawnin', Miss Ellen, said the maid as she laid the letter on the table. Ellen glanced at the wrltingg yes, it was from him. She tore it open quickly, hoping, fearing, she knew not what. A few words were all. Business interests unexpected and unavoidable demanded his immediate presence in New York. H-e was sorry his dee parture must be so suddeng he had enjoyed the winter and hoped they might meet againi sometime. Ellen's hand closed convulsively over the letter and crumpled it as she rose and paced the room with quick, rapid steps. Her womanly pride was injured, her dignity incensed. She grew calm gradually, and sitting down tried to think it all out. Yes, she saw all clearly now, he had found her an amusing plaything for the season. She understood him, and in understanding him understood herself. She saw now just ho-w the calm, dignified, polished Englishman had attracted and fascinated her. She was glad it was all over with. John had been- right, her inner feeling had been right. From the new vantage ground of worldly wisdom which this experience had given her, she looked back at the young, inexperienced girl of four months before and was indignant with her. It had been a miserable farce, and she had been the chief actor. How humiliated and angry she was, and with herself most o-f all. John had understood both Mr. McDonald and herself better than she had. She would write and tell him so, and picking up pen and paper from the library table, she wrote: You were right. Ellen' Powers. She felt better after this confession and wished John were coming back soon, and still she dreaded meeting him again. He would no doubt be friendly, but formal. 105 A few days later a message came: Leave for home today. Arrive Wednesday noon, will call at once. John Allen. The next few days were anxious ones for Ellen Powers. Would they meet as friends or would the old relationship be restored? Wednesday came at last as Wednesdays have done before, and the afternoon found Ellen flushed and anxious. She saw John coming as she had seen him so often before, and when the maid opened the door, and ushered him in, she tried to look and act natural, to act the friend she was to be. One glance at the hesitating, uncertain manner and flushed face told John Allen all. Later as he rose to go, he said: 1 understand it all better than you, I think. You lost. your head, dear, instead of your heart, didn't you? For answer Ellen slipped her hand into his, and saldesimlply, I'm so glad you understand. A few weeks later Ellen chanced to read among the Newport items of one of the New York papers a detailed account of the first yachting party of the season, given in honor of a certain Miss Smythe by Mr. Chauncey McDonald, of Barrington Place, Hampton, England.

He promised tlve dollars to Ninety-nlne's board To be given' out surely, by way of reward If his na.me they'd ne'er mention in joke or ln tale, They kept their agreement, 'twas he that did fail. Here lies Frank F. Jewett, to the Solph heart so dear: Who taught them all Chemistry, and year by year, Repeated the old jokes as if they were part Of the formulae students learned sadly by heart. H2S04, CO2, NH3, The students must say them as fast as could be, And though they might grumble, and groan, and grow glum, His eyes they would twinkle-he thought it great fun. 114 Here lies honest Simon, whose heart was like flint l?J, While the owne-r ne'er knew half the time who was in't. His lectures on' Ethics were many and long: His thoughts were all right, but his statements all wrong. 'I'here's a time to be tender, that was his belief, And it's queer that this doctrine ne'er brought him to grief A skatorial artist of marvelous skill. The girls all exclaimed, He skates flt to kill! His learning inspired all his students with awe, As did those fine whiskers that grew on' his jaw. Here Fred Grover lies in well-earned repose: He had many friends, but not any foes. What spirits were his, what wit and what whim! Now breaking a heart, and now breaking a limb. When a fall on the ice brought him near to Death's door. H-ow the girls sent him flowers and notes by the score! In the spring it was strange that the Botany class Nearly doubled its numbers. How it came to pass? But now let him rest, for surely he's tired- It is wearing, you know, to be much admired. Here lies L. B. Hall-long may he rest! He of all the professors most hated a jest. To study. to study, to study was all That e'er could be pleasing to Lyman B. Hall. No calls, no amusements, no parties, said he, Were right for a student who wished an A. B. An anti-expansiondst, prone for to see That evil would come, whoever might be At the head of affairs. for it was his belief That professors alone save our country from grief. Yet his heart was so kind, and his deeds were so good- He was loved by the students, not misunderstood. Requiescant in pace! 3005 has 115 Psychological. OOM 24 3 30 p m January 31, '99. Class sings I need thee every hour. 3 36 Mr Jameson was led astray in selection of the hymn for we shall not have a test to-day 3237: The Instructor writes on the board, Explain carefully how the ideal aspirations of the community are co-ordinated by the growth in importance of the activities sanctioned by custom as being set aside for the performance of woman. 3:40: Close papers. Will those on the front row collect papers? Jewett: Professor, do our term-averages depend upon these 'quizzes'? MacL.: Well, now, I don't know as I exactly get your meaning, but if I un- derstand what you are getting at, I would say yes and no. That ls, on the one hand, it is necessary that you direct your activities towards these 'quizzes' in order that we may be sure that you are present, but again, on the other hand, whether you receive credit for the term's work depends to quite an extent upon how you react upon the more fundamental part of the work. I think that that makes the point clear. The Instructor looks down toward the back seat on the young ladies' side for a smile of encouragement and begins his lecture. Now at the last time we were considering the value of woman' to the ideal activities of the community. Now, in terms of anthropology, with reference to the development of ideas respecting the ethical significance of woman's entrance into prom- inence in social activities, we said that the chief thing for you to remember, apart from the fact of the natural tendency for woman to supply companionship to man is that all the way through the evolutional process of the race, after the period when the activities of mankind were submerged in a state of undifferentiated totality, the family relation has been of the utmost significance. By this it will be seen, taking the evolutional process into account, that a single individual is not in our day and generation a moral being, that is in other- class roars, and Prof. blushes- now, I mean by that, that stated in terms of ethical value, or rather considered from the sandpoint offwe find ourself un-able to collect our thoughts to a sufficient degree to proceed with the discussion and so will ask a few questions. Now, Mr. Sweet, what do you understand to be the relation of the myth to the development of the institutions of modern civilization, as shown by the development of feeling of sanctity in the marriage relationship? Well, if I understand your question, I think, that is from what you said the other day, that the relation is rather vague, but- That is very good, I think. Now to proceed with the discussions as Socrates so well said in times past, and as Aristotle put it even more strikingly, and as in our own time, Emmanuel Kant says, a comparatively short time ago- Chapel bell begins to ring. Take for the next time the flrst thirty-four pages of Dewey's Syllabus of Ethics.

Jack Harris was in a ferocious mood. He threw down the book he had been trying to read, snatched his cap from the table, and went out, giving the door a bang that made the windows rattle. But a fifteen-minutes' walk in a drizzling rain has a soothing effect on even the most sanguine of Cads3 -Jack was a College Senior. His impatience gave way to a depression that was intolerable. Suddenly he bethought himself of the Sketch Club. There he could forget himself for a while. It was late when he entered the room, and found but one seat left, near the door. The- model was a girl dressed as Ophelia. He gave her a careless glance, pulled his chair nearer for a. better View of her face and sat down. He began' to draw her fine profile when he gave a. sudden start. It was Ruth Garcy. How could he have failed to recognize her instantly? But this girl looked o-lder than Ruth. She was a woman. For a moment he hesitated: then scorning himself for his weakness he began to draw, giving her a cold, imipersonal stare that would have insulted a statue. He thought a flush did cross her face, but it passed so quickly and left her so white, that he doubted his own eyes. ' For some reason his pencil did not work well that night. The pure outline of her face eluded himg now it was the droop of her eye, now the half-sad, half-proud curve of the lips. She seemed a thing utterly removed from him: and that thought an- noyed him. He remembered how often her face had been turned away from his like that. But it had always turned again, kindled with another expression. just as he was wondering if he would ever see that expression again the teacher said, Rest, and the model rose. She did not glance at him, and he did not know whether she had seen him or not. He was impatient at the delayg he told himself he wanted to finish his drawing. When she posed again he began to sketch her eyes. How dreamy and wistful they were. The shadows under them seemed very dark. He looked more carefully, they were not merely shadowsg they were dark circles. And then he noticed again her extreme pallor. It began to uninan himg he set his teeth and worked on. But he did not see the shape of her lipsg he only saw the drawn look about them. He saw the tired droop of her head, and the fall of her bosom as she breathed. It was use- less. He rose and went to the teacher. His head was aching so that he could not draw, and he went out. Did Ophelia smile? When Ruth reached her room she found a large bunch of roses at her door. In it was jack Harris' card, on which was written, May I call tomorrow night? See, she cried to her room-mate. Then throwing herself into a large arm chair, she took her pocket handkerchief and began rubbing her face. The dark circles under her eyes and her pallor disappeared like magic. I think I managed it rather well, she said, as she buried her face in the fragrant flowers. 118 . ., ll -'Y . I Pompadour Freak.

' Y OW it came to pass in the day when there was no king in the 9 1 I land, save only Dubbelayrite, the head of the Fakultie, that ' N l f X tl1ePl1res11men, even the Nawtiwons, did lie in wait many ' 1 f nights, from the going down of the sun even unto the coming I: I Ii . up thereof, for the men of Neintinein, tl1e Joonyors, to lake F ' 1,9 , AZ? them. For it was the custom among the Joonyors to make ' .11-Q every year a feast even a Hottinie in remembrance unto their 'lily A Y, ' god joonyorex. But when the men of Neintinein heard that 'E'-J,!,iQ1L g'ff'?l'.f'.,Ti' TE, lhe Phreslnnen lay in wait for them, they were afraid, and went U-'kms-H' not forth out of their houses any more by night, lest they should hi- taken. So the Nawtiwons waited many days, and were sore weary with waiting. There- fore did Brad, even Hubbard, the leader of the Nawtiwons, call together all the men of the tribe, that they might consider together. Then rose up Arree Brown, of the Furschirch, and spoke unto them, saying, Go to, now, why wait ye all these nights in idleness? Are ye not they who in former years did overcome the Softs, and carry away into captivity their mighty men, even Ejj, the Pigskinrulscher, and Jaymyson, which is called Arpee? Behold, the men of Neintinein are afraid, and tremble before you. Who then, think ye will make you a Hottime, unless ye yourselves? Come ye there- fore together unto my house, even unto the Furschirchapiple, wearing each of you a white garment, and bringing in one hand a torch and in the other a horn, even a Meggafohnf' Sc the Nawtiwons gathered themselves together in the Furschirchapple about the fourth hour of the night, having on each a garment of white, even a Niteshurt, and having in one hand a torch and in' the other a Meggafohn. Then did the musicians, even Ritches Awrkistry, mount upon a wagon, and all the men followed behind them, and they did march throughout the whole land, with much noise and blowing of horns. Howbeit the noise of their much shouting aroused the Seen-yors and Joonyors, and the Softs, yea, even the Kadds, so that they rose up out of their beds and came forth against them. Nevertheless, most of them were Joonyors, of the men of Neintinein, for they slept lightly, being in great fear of the wrath of Joonyorex. Now it came to pass that when they came unto the place that is called Taulkutkorner, the Seenyors and the Joonyors and the Softs and the Kadds, did gather themselves together and fall upon the Nawtiwons in the rear, and did fight against them, for they said, Are we not many and they few? Wherefore then should not we 122 fall upon them, and destroy them from off the face of the earth, that they may not get the Blgged and think themselves to be mighty? Then arose a. great clamor of their fighting, so that it came even unto the ears of Dubbelayrite, the ruler of the land, and Juitt, who was set over the men to listen unto their lies, and they came forth from their homes and looked upon the flght, even the Skrappg and it displeased them sore. Tl1e11 did Dubbelayrite lift up his voice and speak unto the people, saying, Go to, now, is not your cry gone out throughout all the earth, and your shouting unto the uttermost parts of it? Think ye that there remain yet any in the land whom ye have not awakened? Go ye there-fore home unto your beds, that ye may not all phlunk in the morning. lNow the Fakultie counted it an evil to phlunk, albeit among the men of the land it was a not infrequent honor.l So the men departed and went unto their homes, and in the morning they rose up and phlunked. And unto those of them which told the truth, and feared to lie and to deceive, did Juitt send word saying, Unexcused, which means, being interpreted, Nothing at all. But unto those which feared not to lie and to deceive, said he not a word. Therefore did they lose by their lying and their deceit, in that they had not the message to lay up as a remembrance against him. J. N. AN OBERLIN COME-DY. SCENE I.

OMMl'INCIiMEN'1' Day was over and the town was almost deserted. The rattle of the hacks drawn by l.ee's miserables over the pavement had ceased, and foraday or two everything seemed enthroned in gloom. Xet brighter and needless to say, hotter, days were in store for the faithful few who had stayed to help along the Summer School. I In the meeting on Thursday evening, at which the privileges that 1 were to be enjoyed were enumerated, wc found that some seventy 25- of our student friends were to be with us, together with some forty others, who had been training the minds of young America at other spots onthe globe. Pleasant features were not numer- ous in those first few days, but there were at least two, First, the price of ice cream soda was reduced fiye cents: this would save us the trouble of using two spoons g and second, if one can judge from the fact that rules were not so numerous, the young women were given credit for having more sense in the Summer than in the Winter. Contrary to the customs-yes, customs are changing in Oberlin-nearly every one was taking fifteen hours' work-but do not be alarmed, dear friends, at the quan- tiry of work! Remember that it depends upon the quality as to whether the work is hard or not. Upon inquiry-it is strange bow students do find things out-it was as- certained that the two popular courses were ornlthology and elocution. Yes, we had a large class in ornlthology, and we created quite a stir in town when we began our daily excursions, for we all met at one place, and started out, pointing and rubbering at every tree we came to. These excursions were fine on a day with the thermometer at 98 degrees in the shade! But then we had the thought of the lunch in the woods, where we listened at twilight for Hall's Bald-headed Money-Bird or the hoot of an owl. Then there were those all-day excursions on which we saw so many rounders -a new species named by Nott-along the roadside. During the flrst three weeks we concluded that twenty-five hours' a week in the woods and fields did not constitute the snap we expectedg but by and by the Instructor thought we were far enough advanced to go without him. It was strange how many birds were seen from bicycles, especially tandems, or by sitting under a nice, shady tree in' the woods with a favorite book or -- with you, or by going boat-riding on Lake Erie, where it was said water-birds were plenty. Yes, certainly, ornithology was a success, for we know something of the country round about these parts, not to mention the many different kinds of birds we saw, and it is to be hoped that future generations will be permitted to enjoy such a course. The elocution class was held at seven o'clock in the morning, but notwithstanding that fact, it was opened by Those evening bells and closed with the appropriate line, I stood on the bridge at midnight. One did not need to inquire to know who be- longed to this class, for all that was necessary was to wait until you heard Boat ahoy, and you knew one at least. Here is where Fisher, '99, earned his reputation as Prof. Tisdell's favorite pupil-a pupil of rare qualities as a speaker. In fact, the whole class distinguished themselves when it came to rendering: 'Before a quarter pole was passed' Old Hiram said, 'He's going fast! I 7 U ' 1,55 li iii: lg-112 --- s ii- HI Nb Qi- 126 This charming poem was given very vividly by Miss Hostetter, '02, especially the horseshoe flying away through the air. You may ask, Were there but two classes? and well you may. Yes, there were several other classes, but they were not so popular and the students in them were too busy studying to talk about what they were doing. In depicting summer school, it would not do to leave out what we did to amuse our- selves ln our spare moments. There was the tennis tournament, which- furnished a good deal of excitement among the young women, for, of course, they had their favorites. It was here we had a chance to get even with the professors, but somehow or other they could not forget that they were not in the class room and so continued to rub it into us. Whether it was cwirg to the young women or the exceeding hot days, the tourna- ment ended before its time with every one except Dudley Reed and John Butler fighting for last place. If the days were too hot for tennis, the nights were fine for wheel rides and drives: so that when invitations appeared for a hay-ride to Bell's, they were received with de- light. It was a glorious night, stars and moon were out, and as you have heard of the strange effect the moon has on some people, you will not be surprised to learn that the driver got lost f?J on the way back, getting us home rather early tin the morningi, much to the dissatisfaction of the Dean, but to the enjoyment of Prof. Cressy. Summer school is a fine institution as all who stayed will testify. But whatever you do, do not ask Fisher, '99, about the Fourth of July, for he may get nettledttJon that subject, don't ask Miss Fauver, '02, about that dragon ily, for she will probably call you a. ruby-throated humming bird3 don't ask Browse, '01, or Addenbrooik, '00, about the watermelons, for they will only say, Where the watermelon is, there is the woman's heart. Don't ask Bohn, '00, about his dropping ornithology so as to have more time in town, for he will not exactly dismiss you with his Benedictfionb. Don't ask Turner, '01, as to the best place to see birds, for he will p-robably answer you a little Cooley, However, Miss Hall may be able to tell you about Under the trees and elsewhere, if you keep Arter her long enough. The time for summer school is now approaching, so if you would know more of tis glories than are depicted here, just stay and enjoy them for yourself. GRAY'S COMMANDMENTS. I.

On March 18, 1899, there was an oratorical contest among members of the Fresh- man class. The oration which we append was delivered at that time. Deeming it to be the ablest effort produced by Freshman brains this year, we give it space in the Hi-O-Hi, concealing, however, both the name of the orator and that of the person who was the subject of the lofty flight of language, for both modest gentlemen would be overwhelmed with confusion to have their identity thus made known. t A NINETEENTH CENTURY AUGUSTUS. Nineteen odd years ago tonight, one of the most eloquent men, one of the most de- voted patriots, and the most successful statesman that the Dutch-Irish race has given to history, was born in an humble cottage on the banks of the beautiful Ohio. We of the other races must join the Pennsylvania Dutch in tribute to my hero, - -1- M----, since he has contributed more to the advancement of the race universal than any other man in the last quarter century. To find his equal in poetry, the Anglo-American must pass by Whittier and Long- fellow, Tennyson and Browning, and seek in the glowing epics of John Milton, and in the inimitable dramas of William Shakespeare a fitting parallel to the depth of feeling, the charming poetic delicacy of style, possessed in such marked degree by our simple Ohio farmer's boy. To those of us who have heard his flowing metrical translat.ons of Horace, it has seemed fitting that we should have, at this time, a specimen- of his versatile writing. This is his pathetic Ode to an Expiring Frog : Can I view thee, panting, lying On thy stomach, without sighing? Can I unmoved see thee dying On a log Expiring Frog? Say, have fiends in shape of boys With wild .halloo and brutal noise Hunted thee from marshy joys, With a dog, ' Expiring Frog? From the lleld of poetry, we wander naturally into the ileld of music, The language of the soul. Here again how hard it is to find his equal, either among his own great contemporaries-of whom Freddy Hatch is chief-or in the dusty studios of the old masters. Have not the Examining Committee of the Second Church Choir so appre- 130 ciated his talent that they have persuaded him to sing for them ten times already and have arranged to have him give them one recital each term from now until 1902? And in the lists of chivalry! Ah, Euhol! how many tender souls have wilted and died for sheer love of him! And for his part, at their behest he once adorned his noble Herculean frame with a ferocious foot-ball suit and committed gory deeds of valor in defense of that glorious emblem of victory that waves over us tonight, the cavalry gold and the Dewey blue! In the field of diplomacy and statescraft he stands supreme! Webster could awe a senate, Everett could charm a college, Clay could magnetize a million and Corwin could lead them captive. Mi- is Corwin, Clay, Everett and Webster in one! By one single word of his has Nineteen Two often been kept from going astray. The astounding magnitude of his services on the flag committee ls overwhelming proof of his states- manship, and he even consented to give our younger sister, Nineteen Three, the benefit of his world-wide wisdom! In his family and private life he has endeared himself to us all. His cheerfulness, his charming conversational powers, and above all, his unassuming modesty-these make him as the high ideal which we would all strive to attain. My friends, when I consider Ml as a poet, a musician, a troubadour, a diplomat, a statesman, and a living exponent of modesty, I feel impelled to say of him in the immortal words of the Bard of Avon: 'Tis he! sunk by and note him! AMBLING BEN ALLEN. Ambling Ben Allen, may his tribe increase! Awoke one night from a sweet dream of peace, And thought he saw in the flickering gloom A ilgure that shed faint light through the room. By him the figure paused and seemed to say, Now ask me what you will without delay, Behold, upon the wall there shall appear An answer to your question, plai11 and clear. Ben Allen scratched his head, and bade him name What college class should win eternal fame. The angel wrote while thicker grew the gloom, Not a one Naughty-One, and left the room. 131 A Senior Example. CHARACTERS. Johnnie S., tall and dignified. Bert K., trim, dark, near-sighted. Dean i---W Other members of Senior and Junior Classes. ' SCENE I. Study of Johnnie and Bert. Bert! looking up from Greek book with a yawnjz Say, pard, it's time to get ready for chapel if you're going. Johnnie fbanging his Mike shut with a despairing sighbz We'll have to go. We're Seniors, you know, and .ought to set the fellows a good example. Bert: Well, hurry up, we haven't got but two minutes. iBoth scramble around awhi1e.J , - 1 Bert: Guess I'll start down stairs, parson. Come on when you've tied your tie and are attired. As his foot touches the bottom stair, a voice comes from above: 0 wife! I-Iaven't you an extra collar button? Mine's broke. Bert: Try the rest of the amalgamategl order. Rapid steps and slamming of drawers above. Bert, standing in front of hall, mirror, gives his hair a Hnal pat, adjusts his tie in a business-like manner, draws on his gloves precisely. Noise above stops a minute. Voice from above: Go on, wifey, I'll catch up with you. There lsn't a collar button, though, in the ranch. Bert: I am afraid you'll have to miss it this time-I'll take your regrets. SCENE II. Chapel bell striking double strokes. Bert seated calmly in next to front seat. Johnnie appears at door in very high collar, holding his head rather stiffly, almost out of breath from running, drops down beside Bert, then straightens up suddenly. Bert: How did you get here? Johnnie fturning toward him and pointing to a. string running beside his puff tieJ: Tied my collar to my suspenders. Have to sit up straight to keep it adjusted. Collar flies up if I don't. Turns back stifliy and sets his chin against the top of his collar. Hope the Faculty wonft notice it, or any one else till I get out of here. They will though if you donft stop giggling. After chapel every one stays to practice songs. Bert and Johnnie are delegated to distribute songs on the west side of the cha.pel. Johnnie keeps his collar adjusted by careful attention to it. As he goes out of chapel, he hears voices behind him: I always thought Johnnie S, was a jolly boy, but I never saw such a stiff thing as he was when he distributed those songs. I declare, I'll be afraid to speak to him-he looked so stern and cross. He wouldn't even look when I tried to tell him to give me another paper. I nevcr realized before how straight he is. SCENE III. Men's conference. Subject: Chapel attendance by Seniors and Juniors and its effect on under classmen. Dean says that Seniors have cut so that they have set a bad ex- ample to the younger men. Johnnie S. rises and says, feelingly: Mr, Chairman, the Seniors sometimes go to great inconvenience to attend chapel. I know of one case especially- 132 Jwfafwcyci 1715 Wing? 777awfz,fQwf, 707J 'L SEP27 , ,uflfei Q OCT 15 .MQMLQ NOV3 NOV19 ffm M DEC1 CQMQX JAN 18 941. bU.5'-ffviflm.

Great scott, fellows, any man can economize if he wants to! Treash was practicin- his debate, and President Barrows was looking for quarters. Hearing a noise in Treash's room, and thinking some one was suffering, he knocked at the door. Without stopping the flow of his eloquence Treash called, Come in or stay out.

The crowded condition of the two existing literary societies suggested to three men of the class of 1870, then in their Sophomore year, the need of a new society. These men were A. F. Hatch, C. N. Jones and T. A. Hall. Plans were secretly formed, and in the spring of '69 these three men asked for dismlssion from their respective so- cieties, together with several others whom they had induced to join them, for the purpose of forming a new society. A stormy debate ensued, and many times during the three months which followed it looked as though the project was destined to fail. But finally the old societies were obliged to yield, and with the laudible motto, - .ll-qlleiav Zyrullusv We seek the truth, the new society was launched forth. The wisdom of the ad- dition to the number of societies has since been fully demonstrated. Each society is now in a healthy condition, and without being overcrowded, each has a good work- ing membership. L. L. S. With the membership of each society changing completely every four years, tra- dition has only a scant foothold, and few individuals leave any trace behind. This is to be expected, just as in the larger span of life, but it is a pity, too. We miss much by it. A better knowledge of the hopes with which our literary societies were founded, the high purposes for which they stand and the efforts of the past to main- tain them, could not fall to give more intelligent motives for society work. History repeats itself so frequently that we cannot hope to flnd anything very original in the record of the last year. In fact, we may be glad if we can claim as much as one of the old records-that not a single poor joke was perpetrated that year. Society work has run its regular course and the members have met promptly every Monday evening, except when the janitor forgot to open the door, and the evening when our ranks were decimated by the mumps. This last affliction was so general that a. debate was suggested to convince the society of the Evils of Expansion. The society notes in the Review have been helpful in bringing into prominence 140 the best work. The average of the productions has been high, and altogether, L. L. S. feels that this year has kept up the standard of the past. Better she could not well ask. PHI DELTA. Within less than two months after the founding of Phi Kappa Pi, a new society was organized under the name of Philomathesian. Its founder was Ezra L. Stevens, '43g he was aided by several other members of '43 and '44, In 1843, the new name, Union Society, was adopted, and this was changed twelve years later to the present name, The society flrst held its meetings in a class-room in Tappan Hall. The place of meeting was afterward changed to Music Hall and again'to So- ciety Hall, which remained the meeting-place until 1888, when the present rooms in Peters Hall were ready for use. The varied relations into which the societies en- tered with each other may be seen by reading in Phi Delta's record that in 1875, Phi Delta was victorious in a spelling-match with Alpha Zeta and soon afterward defeated both of the other societies in the regular inter-society base ball match. AELIOIAN SOCIETY. If ever the saying history is being made now was true of anything, it was true of Aelioian. Society, for its growth this year from a barely-existing society in-to one with a large and active membership is as marked as that of a great nation. The growth of the society should be studied in four epochs. The first few weeks of the year constitute the chaotic period, when there were so many empty chairs and so small a membership that the stoutest heart among us quailed. This chaotic period was just developing some organization when down upon us came the Dark Ages, a time when the Grip, with iron hand, dragged this one and that one out of society until at one time it was feared that the debaters would have to be their own judges. Fortunately, the Dark Ages did not overshadow us for a long time, the reign of the Grip came to an end, the members returned with new vigor, and the resulting condition of society reminded one of Tennyson's verses of the Arabian N ights--- ---a goodly time, For it was in the golden prime Of good Haroun Alraschidf' Then came the period of supremacyg and in the spring-time, when all nature was in her fullness, new members had come in to fill the vacant places, and Aelioian once more stood up to her full height, firm and strong as the sun god Helios of old, whose name she bears. PHI KAPPA PI. Phi Kappa Pi was founded September 14, 1839, under the name Dialectic Asso- ciation. It was the first society organized in the College, and at first included stu- dents from the College and the Theological Seminary. In 1841, and again in 1842, the society applied for a charter from the State Legislature, but the charter was both times refused because of the unpopularity of Oberlin on account of its stand against slavery. But in. 1844 a charter was granted the society under the name, Oberlin's Young Men's Lyceum. In 1859, the society name was again changed, taking the initial letters of her motto, Friendship and Progress. Phi Kappa Pl is the mother of all the College Literary Societies and so, of much of the literary development of Oberlin. The Glee Club originated in. Phi Kappa, spring- ing as it did, from the Phi Kappa Glee Club, which was one of the chief musical organ- izations of the College. 141 L. B. Hall, '72. C. B. Martin, '76, J. F. Peck, '75, 17. F. C.

Friday evening, March 3, Oberlin me-t Ohio Wesleyan in debate and was decisively defeated, The debaters from O. W. U. were C. H. Estrich, Miss Mary Be-al and ll. T. Housel. Although the result was due to a combination of circumstances, with duo credit to all other elements in the contest, the battle was won by Miss Mary Bcal. Com- ing into the debate at an opportune moment without finding it necessary to extemporize in rebuttal, she delivered a finished and well-worked out oration in such a winning and trenchant manner that she won a hostile audience, confused her opponents and cap- tured the decision of the judges. But to leave out personality it was the same old story- form won. It has been the lesson of every debate in the league so far that not so much depends upon what is said as how it is said. It is only a common sense! recognition of the fact that the mind can be appealed to on the side of the emotions as effectlially as it is compelled through the intellect by arrays of fact. Under a just interpretation of tl1e question Oberlin presented the more solid argument, and yet when' the judges were called upon to decide which team had done the most qfi?'rlfzfe debating they had but one choice to make. Oberlin has gained one debate through oratorical form and has lost two because the greater form was on the other side. In this lies a suggestion for the future. .-Tnif: Ricvuaw. 157 .W. L. Long.

First, to secure the resignation of Pres. Barrows and the election of A. NVindy Matlack in his stead. Secondly, to induce Living- ston and A. R. Brown to graduate with 'Ol in order to give B. Ego Hales a show in our oratorical contests. Thirdly, to replace the present meek and unassuming attitude which per- vades our class,by one better becoming our unparalleled abilities in all direc- tions, and to promote matrimouy in our class.

Hart, '00, Corresponding Secretary Helen Chute, '02, Recording Secretary Christine Thomsen, '01, Treasurer Though the Young Won1en s Christian Association is a much younger organization ln Oberlin than the Y. M. C. A., we feel that it is fllllng the same place among the women that the Y. M. C. A. ls filling among the men. Its purpose is the same, its methods are largely the same. Thro' its committee work, the Association touches many sides of Oberlin life. The weekly prayer-meeting is the focal point of the Association work, and is socially and religiously the common meeting place of all the women students. The Summer Conference and the visits of Miss Hughes, Miss Barnes, and Miss Elizabeth Ross have given interest ln the larger work throughout the world. and ln- splration for the work at home. The year has been very successful, and it closes with good prospects for the coming year. YIMCIA. W. M. Owen, '00, President ' J. S. Hardy, '0l, Vice-President Lawrence Stetson, '01, Corres. Secretary S. H. Buell, '00, Recording Secretary M. W. Sweet, '00, Treasurer H. I. Strong, Assistant Treasurer The Young Men's Christian Association of Oberlin College was organized in 1881, under the direction of Mr. L. D. Wishard, then International Secretary of Y. M. C. A. The purpose of the Association is to unite the Christian men of the College, to pro- mote Christianity ln' the lives of the college men, and to prepare men for leadership lu Christian work. In drawing together the men of the institution, both socially and religiously, the Association meets a. need that nothing else can meet. The interest in the movement is continually growing. The interest from the Summer Conferences at Northfield and Geneva, and the visits of Traveling Secretaries have been stimulat- ing. The weekly meetings have, this year, been especially practical and interesting, and we hope for yet greater helpfulness from them in the future. 185 Board of Managers.
