Frank Fanning jewett is descended from lidward jewett, who reached Con- necticut from England in 1638, and from Miles Standish of the May Flower. .llc was born in Newton, Massachusetts, prepared for college in The Norwich Free Academy, and was graduated from Yale in 1870, ranking among the honor men ol' his class of one hundred and thirteen members. ,lilis diploma for the A. ll. degree is signed by President Woolsey, that for A. M, by l'resident l'orter. After graduation Mr. jewett taught mathematics, physics and chemistry for two years in The Norwich Free Academy and devoted three years to the study of chemistry and mineralogy in the Sheffield Scientific School of New lilaveu and in Gottingen, Germany. Among his German teachers was the famous l:'rofessor Wiihler, discoverer of aluminum. M r. jewett little suspected, at that time, that the method of aluminum production was to be revolutionized and made a success through the discovery of one of his own students, connected with his own labora- tory in Cabinet lilall, Oberlin College. VVhile serving as private assistant to Dr. Wolcott Gibbs of Harvard Univer- sity, Mr. Jewett was called to the chair of chemistry in the japanese imperial Uni- versity. The call came through request of the japanese Government that lg'resident ,l orter recommend ia man for the place. Mr. jewett was named at once. Reaching Tokio in january, 1876, he found large laboratories, every modern equipment, a colleague of wide experience, two assistants for his own courses of General Chem- istry, Qualitative Analysis and Organic Chemistry, and large classes of well pre- pared young men to whom his lectures were delivered in English. ln addition to strenuous service in the educational work of the University, he allied himself to the small band of those teachers from America, England and Germany who proved their Christianity by their lives,-men whose power for righteousness in Tolcio can- not be over-estimated. As rapidly as possible the japanese Government prepared japanese men for its University chairs. The chemist was ready in I88O, and l-'rofessor Jewettis en- gagement ended with the close of his second contract. Witli its termination came gifts from the Government, letters and gifts from his pupils, many words of appre- ciation, and, most valued of all, a paper presented to him in connection with a part- ing chop-stick supper and a pair of Kaga ware vases made to order for him. This paper is an expression of gratitude to their best teacher and friend signed by sev- enty-four young men at that time in his classes. , ' s On leaving Japan ,l'rofessor jewett married Miss Frances Ciulick, daughter of Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick. They reached Oberlin in September, ISSO. The Chemical Department then occupied the firstfloor of Cabinet l lall. Prof. ,Kedzie had made an important beginning in the teaching of chemistry by the labor- atory method, but his early death left the department still undeveloped, the equip- ment meagre. Foundations had been laid, however, and since then the growth has been constant. linlarging courses and crowded laboratories required additional apparatus and increased space. Zoology and botany yielded the second and third floors of the building to chemistry in 1886. 'After that, Cabinet Hall was, from base to summit, a saturate solution of chemical odors. flfn 1886 Mr. M. Hall-a graduate of 1885-made his great discovery of the method of securing aluminum by electrolysis. Professor .lewett was profoundly interested in the investigation, gave encouragement as he could, and supplied help in certain emergencies,-as when more electricity was required, and multiplied new cells were improvised from pans and cans and discarded bottles. The result was the nugget of aluminum,-a joy to the discoverer, and, for M r. hlewctt. a cause ol added p1'ide in his former pupil. An outcome of his experience in teaching laboratory methids is his .l'.abora- tory Exercises in .Inorganic Chemistry. now in its second edition. His patent chemical bottle stopper is increasingly adopted by laboratories. Since his first depressing glance into Cabinet Hall on the day of his arrival from Japan, Mr. .lewett has had in mind the requirements of a model laboratory. For years his note-book has kept record of observations and experiences which might prove useful. These multiplied during i895-1896 in the laboratories of ller- lin and Charlottzenberg where he worked. They were further increased by visits to the laboratories in Bonn, Heidelberg, Munich, Leipsie, Giittingen, Zurick, Glas- gow, lidinburgh, tfambridge and London. Later the best chemical buildings of the country were examined. When, therefore, Mr. Louis H. Severance made his noble gift to the college, ,l'rofessor jewett was able to elaborate to the finest detail his thought as to the essential requirements of a building devoted strictly to chem- ical purposes. His plans, placed in the hands of the architect, Mr. Shaw, and made posssible through the generosity of M r. Severance, have resulted in the new home ofthe Chemical Department. The entlmsiasm which has given life to this depart- ment in its day of insufficient light, insufiicient room, insufficient heat, cold floors, frozen pipes and bottles, and congested fumes, is not likely to wane in the era of inspiring conditions now introduced by The Severance Chemical Laboratory. Quite aside from his professional work, the contribution made by the man himself in his character and personality, to the life and work of the college, is great and unmistakable. Faculty and students alike rejoice with lfrofessoi' .Iewett in the vastly improved conditions of the new Laboratoryg and, with peculiar satisfaction, the Junior Class dedicate to him the Annual of this year. 9 CHEMICAL LABORATORY BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK BOOK CONTENTS.

He entered the preparatory clepartment of Olierlin College in IS46, ancl gracluatecl from the Col- lege in 1851. lfrom 1851 to 1866 he made his home in XVIIITCII. Ohio. He waQ admitted to the har in 1852 and at once formecl a eo-partnership with Hon. 'lohn lflutehins. T11 the spring of 1861, Cox. tiarlielcl ancl Monroe were i11 the Ohio sen- ate, a trio of young men who largely eontrollecl state legislation and were clestinefl to exert a niarlcecl inllnenee upon their generation. VVhen the civil war hrolce out Mr. Cox was appointed llrigarlier Cieneral of Volunteers, ancl served all through the war with very marlcecl mlistinelion. receiving linally the often meritecl promotion to Major General. Wliile still in the lielcl he was unaniniously nominatecl eancliclate of the Repuh- lican party for Governor of Ohio and was eleeterl in 1865. ln 1869 Grant made him Seeretary of the interior where he gave a clean and able aclministration. After retiring' from the eahinet he again enterecl upon the practice of law aml lillefl siieeessively important positions-the presicleney of the NVal1aSh railroaml, rep- 13 resentative in Congress, the presidency of. Cincinnati University, and Dean of the law school. Few men have attained mastery over so wide a range of knowledge. He was a profound student of philosophy, history, economics and international lawg was widely 1'ead in the whole field of the world's literature, art and architecture. In microscopy he was an authority of world-wide reputation, a member of the Royal Microscopical Society, and received a gold medal of honor at the Antwerp exhibi- tion of 1891 for excellence in micro-photography. These various attainments, coupled with native modesty and refinement, made association with him delightful and inspiring. Though reticent as to his deeper personal experiences, his most intimate friends knew of his strong religious conviction. His loyalty to duty was as strong and un- wavering as that of the Christian martyrs.-'lixtract from memorial adopted by the trustees. '4 Book 1.

The great surprise of the Sophomore year is that one knows so little: but the Senior is continually amazed that he knows so much. Not in the way of detinitc information, of course-he has had too much else on his mind to acquire much of that-but occasionally a lecturer alludes to something which has a familiar sound: or a fragment of Trig., which the Senior had supposed consigned to oblivion, comes floating back g or some glittering generality shapes itself in his mind, to be imme- diately seized upon and carefully committed to memory for the editication of his fond parents. All that is very pleasant, for it warms the weary studeut's heart to come so unexpectedly upon these signs of awakening intellect. Still, that isn't the only fun there is in being a Senior. ln the Hrst place. he wears a cap and gown-any way, he does sometimesg but the less said about that the better. Ask Rob Brown what he thinks. 'l'hen there is Theology, which isn't at all bad, because it is administered in homeopathic doses. The reason that only Seniors take it is because it is so hard to Lew understand. Even a Senior doesn't grasp all the points perfectly. A - 133.0 ,M D- ' E-DIL-J..-,-, ..

The front seats are the best in the room, and ui rather enjoy being an example to the rest of the institution. The liaculty chose our seats there because they like to see us. Maybe they would like to see us a little oftener. The girls have been racing with the Faculty, to see which could show the most vacant seats in a week. Of course the 'Faculty won, being so hardened, but the Senior girls ran a close second. . Speaking about the girls reminds us of the Nocturnal Society. which gets up early in the morning and goes serenading. We use it to work the Profs. We think we beat the record when it comes to parties. Wliy', the llresideut was so impatient to entertain us that he couldn't wait until spring, but asked us down to his house the week after Tlianksgiving. Then we had a party in the Gymnasium, and renewed our youth. VVe even had a class list, just like Freslnnen, 31 Some of the invitations and answers were a little hard to read. but they answered the purpose. Next came the slcighing party, which went clear to lilyria, and stayed until nine deloek--two distinctly novel features. There aren't many classea that could be trusted so far. lint life isn't all hilarity, even for Seniors. VVhat taxes us to the utmost, in more ways than one, is the Nlemorial-the slight token of esteem we leave behind us. VVe have tried to consider every possible need of the College, and not be prej- udiced. What we really favored most was a new railroad station: but il' a con- structive form which shows its purpose makes architecture, we thought the old one could not be improved upon. Then wc considered a chandelier, as a delicate compliment to our especial luminary, Dr. St. Jiohng but we decided that our class ilag was about as bright a thing as we needed to leave behind us. Mr. Mclfelvey, who has had a large and varied experience with our best American Colleges, sug- gested easy chairs for the Library: but as Prof. Root says the Library is too con- versational in its tone already. we had to give that np, too. lint Mr. linsh hit upon the very thing. He suggested rustic benches placed in secluded spots on the campus. His notion was warmly seconded. by a young lady who doesn't want her name mentioned in this eonncction. This seems on the whole a valuable gift, in harmony with the recognized Oberlin spirit, and especially adapted to the use of Seniors. For after all the chapter in our Theology which must ever prove most in- teresting is not Personal Rights and Duties, or The Nature of Man, -but that short and momentous one which bears the suggestive title- The lfuture Lifef' xX K Q, 'T . .

The last Ethics test of the winter term had been written, the last blue book had been tossed on Prof. MacLennan's desk, and casting wistful glances over their shoulders, the last fair Junior girls had stolen from the dear old Ethics class room. The sun had sunk into the west and slowly darkness was descending on the deserted room. Then it was that a strange figure slipped into Prof. MacLennan's chair :VP 7 and with an intensely self-satisfied expression cast a patronizing glance about the class room. A little red slip for recording absences he quickly tore into bits. All present in spirit, he observed in a still, small voice. Silently the door opened and another strange figure approached the desk. The Conscience of the class of 1902, I believe P ob- served the newcomer. Yes, and you are the Impartial Spectator, replied the Conscience, smiling benignly. I assure you, that on this, your annual round of inspection you are more than welcome to the class of IQO2.H Turning to the spec- tral class he continued: It is the custom in our psychical world, as you all know, to require that once in the course of each college class, the social class conscience, I, your moral representative, undergo an examination, to be conducted by the Im- partial Spectator. We are gathered here this evening for the purpose of taking this highly important step in the progress of the class toward perfection, which it is my pleasure to believe you have already nearly if not quite attained. This day, the one on which you have completed all of the required work in philosophy, is selected as the most ap- propriate for conducting such an examination, and we have ,Q 'fig with us now no less a personage than the Impartial Spectator. -1 X A hundred spectral handkerchiefs cleft the four dimensional - space in an impressive Chautauqua salute. The Impartial Spectator, that proud personality of the 3 spiritual world, accepted the proffered place on the platform. 41' 'fConscience of I9O2,H he cried, searchingly scrutinizing the NIJ hgure-at the desk, - has this class ever attempted to suppress you ? 4 Never, firmly replied the Conscience. Has it always unquestioningly followed your dictates ? In a most laudable manner, replied the Conscience, nodding approvingly toward the class 1HC111lJCI'S, who modestly maintained a spiritual silence. I-Iave you yourself an adequate conception of right and wrong, good and bad, dutiful and disobedient PM thundered the Impartial Spectator. Under the wise guidance of that latest master of philosophical thought, whose chair I now occupy, I may safely say that I have attained a reasonable knowledge and insight into moral principles, replied the Conscience proudly. The hard lines of the Impartial Spectator's face suddenly relaxed. Under the guidance of so great a philosopher how could this class do wrong, he was heard to softly murmur. Proceed with an outline of the history of your class, detailing their desires, motives, purposes, acts and deeds, he directed, The Conscience, his face beaming with assurance, folded his arms and began. 35 '.l'he term history has both an objective and a subjective signilication, events in themselves, and man's apprehension of eventsg ou1' deeds which have made his- tory, harmless enough in themselves, have, through apprehension and misinterpre- tation often been condemned, you, most lmpartial Spectator shall judge hearing both t-he motives and results of our purposes. ln dealing with so large and com- plicated a subject l shall for convenience divide my subject into Ancient, Mediaeval and Modern history. ANCIENT. Our earliest remembrances are of the g'ood old Academy days, when we were the hope and pride of' all our teachers, when great careers were mapped out for so many of us with our baseball and football boys we were to feed Varsity for years, with our athletes we were to revolutionize athletics, in basket ball we would soon bring down the mighty sophomores. ln one matter we were a little dissatisfied. Having won the championship in field day we were denied the pennant since we were only eads, but we now seethe justice of the decree and acknowledge the Wis- dom of our seniors for when sophomores had this precept not been established we ourselves had lost no cads. We had frequent class meetings to decide on class col- ors, flag and yell and our indecision led many people to look upon us with open contempt as scrappers, but great decisions should not be made hastily and besides, these meetings gave us splendid opportunities for better acquaintance. which we ,,', I , rain VM.

N f 1 even on the way home from Farmer l'lell's m the cold, damp, drizzlmg ram, we would not have had it different, the mclemency of the weather brought us closer together. The turning point from ancient to mediaeval history is marked by our change from academy pews to college chairs and desks. MEDIAEVAL. Our early education made us slow, deliberate and positive, and our course since has by no means fallen short of our early promise. VVl1en in the Freshman year in the absence of several of our important members on the football trip, members im- portant to both team and class, we decided to postpone the Thanksgiving party until the following Saturday night: before we won our point, each Professor having a 36 vote in the faculty had been visited and put through a course of argumentation. Per sistence won the day. lfntcrprise, too, has not been wanting in our class as shown from the fact that we entered a realm wholly unexplored by our predecessors, namelv literature, which resulted in the Tooter. lirom our point of view our stag parties have been successful, but it took pt-r- severance almost verging on stubbornness ' f to hold our stand as superior to the sopho- i 1 inores and a year later to teach the liresh- bfi men their place and station. Both of these N classes have been rather unruly for subor- : ::4..'L N ' l dinates and have manifested several ways t' 4 their dissatisfaction at their position.

We alone seem to recognize instances of this kind as epoclis in our character building. Nearing the close of our sophomore year when about to enter upon the duties of upper classmen, we as- sumed borrowed mustaches in order to be- come accustomed to the appearance and dig- nity soon to be incumbent upon us. NVQ, how- ever, put them aside at the request of the President, he preferring to keep us children as long as possible. , MODERN. sr- W 92-at K ., W' 449 faiifa ajax Bi di?

A lively meeting, well attended, ensued, and though we were not sufficiently convinced by the Democratic representative to vote that ticket, our minds felt easier at voting the Republican. Again the faculty misunderstood our coinniendable zeal and attributed our appetite for learning to love of trouble. Polit- 37 ical deals being too exciting for steady diet we adopted a milder form, when our boys accommodating their dress to the weather, appeared on a raw and gusty afternoon in January in white ducks and straw hatseSunshine Club, :g, , ' ,I I -1.1. they were called, and much sunshine did they bring into .YQ . ll! , HI' IQ f A V I gloomy Peters on that otherwise dismal day.

A little token of appre- ciation in the shape of fudges was later tendered by the ' girls. A beautiful spirit of harmony and love prevails throughout the class. Here Conscience concluded with a satisfied air and looked inquiringly at the Impartial Specta- tor to pass judgment. As the recountal proceeded the Impartial Spectator was ob- served to grow more and more friendly in his mien toward the Conscience. Each new deed brought a fresh smile of satisfaction to his face, and now that the Con- science had finished he arose glowing with admiration and approval. gf ff W ' ,v -FFL T ' ' ' iiieeff- r -T' 15. , .

With numbers decreased to less than a hundred, but with jollity and ingenuity enough to keep the faculty wide awake for at least. tln'ee years more, '03 entered as a sophomore. The history of the class this year is about as full of exciting' incident as that of any class well could be. Un the lirst Saturday nig'ht of their ar- 'iving' in town last liall a lot ot' the boys went out into the country with some friends and accidentally became sepat'ated from them. Long' and wearily they wandered, 'for the nig'ht was dark and the roads nmddy. lint the liates were kind and 'ere the sun had risen they had all reached home in safety. Refreshed by a Sun- day's rest they were ready for another eonllict with their liresh- -X l' .' l X -ein .- ff ' A . , man friends. .liast and fiercely they played so that they left the g'ridiron with the Hrst of the championship games to their credit. ason did this enthusiasm last, and they went into each game with z ' 1-your-s llll-Q'llZll'tlS-OI'-U11-tllClllU spirit that made sneh long' hospital lists for the other teams and finally landed the much coveted banner. The celeb1'ation of this successful season's work was undertaken by the g'irls ot' the basket ball team, who entertained the knights of the gridiron in g'1'eat' festivity. The pleasure of the occasion was somewhat lessened by the absence of Miss Heebner and McM.illen, who have ever since been under the suspicion of spending' the evening' in strolling' together along' some secluded star-lit path. lt was here that judge Peabody was for the first time of the season compelled to retire in favor of a substitute, and in fact Moore seemed the only man sm'e of his position. .llesides football much interest was cente1'ed in the chemical laboratory where the social whi1'l was led by a young' man named Tenney, and focused in the south- west corner of the west room, which could not be supp1'essed even by the august Lord Chamberlain 01' the grimt Pj head of the department. The Spinster 'I'ea at Miss Craft's was one of the most delightful social events of the year, Miss Cris- man's tale of disappointed hopes was most heartrending'. Miss Sieben, Miss Crowe, Miss Crafts, and other cheerful make-believers joined heartily in the mou1'n- ful 1'e1niniseences and the stiff, rheumatic dancing: ' Laughbanm and 'l'oddy Morgan began the winter with an adventure that neither will likely forget soon. Contrary to the habits of both, they went one nig'ht to call on a couple of maidens of their acquaintance. VVithout a suspicion of the danger that awaited them they we1'e ushe1'ed into the pa1'lo1' 1 but not long' were they left in that blissful ignorance of their fate. Before the girls could arrive upon thc scene, the mat1'on swoopecl down upon them and east them bodily into the street. Hut any entirely tmsonght adventures, even Cooper's mid-winter bath in the wate1's of Plum Creek, dwindle into insignilicance when co1npa1'ed with the exe eitement delibe1'ately sea1'ched out by Altvater. lly willful intent he has made the whole year a continuous hair-raising' experience, and shows no signs of quitting' yet. Since he is not addicted to the use of one make, any hair tonic manufacturer may now purchase his before and after using ' lJlClll1'CS at a low price. Lightner, too, though last year a most staid and deco1'ous youth, has this year given free play to his long' pent-up spi1'its. He began his wild career on the Glee Club's holiday trip, when night in and nig'ht out he made c1'ush after e1'nsh, till even now his 'l'hrong'h all the se th tt will l 41 course through the Northwest can be traced by a trail of broken, bleeding hearts. Thus aroused he has since been shooting the Chutes in a way to make his friends fear for his safety, and so great was his speed that he could not stop to sing in the Home Concerts. The choice of president this year has been particularly happy both for the choosers and the chosen. But in one way the Alderman has profited by it more than at first appears, for as he now controls the class list on all occasions he no longer has that nervous worry about making his date for a party. Nor does he now feel tempted to stand on his head to celebrate the acceptance of his invitation, as was the case last year. His faith in the girls of the class is great, but here he is 2119591 ,Y K- -, :..Q ,.t :5 :-Q'-1 .1.. surpassed by Ed. Moore, whose saying, The Sophomore class is the place to go for a wife, has been spread upon the class records. Foley may also be called to wit- ness this point, and his opinion should receive due consideration as coming from a man of experience. That he does not much undervaluc himself, is shown by the foilowing squib, culled from a German student's note book. Ich kamni vor einem SO1Jl1,1llO1'C bei, Roy Foley war sein Nami Er ging die Strasse stolz hinab Wie etwas wundersanf. lch sagt zu ihm, Du bist nur eins, Lass niedrig dein Kopf fiihlen. Er schaut mich an, und sagte kurz Schweig du nun! icl1 bin siebenf' With half of its course iinished the class can look back upon its record with as much self-satisfaction as is consistent with modesty, and it only remains for Stuart to settle finally on the subject for his really great poem, and Cooper to decide where to bestow his affections, when the mist of uncertainty now hanging over the for- ward path will be dispelled, and the sun of that happy day will light up the dazzling vision of a great and glorious future. Later.-Stuart's poem, entitled The Lovely Loveliness of Love, has just been published. Clflinds and Noble, N. Y. .50.D Cooper not yet heard from. Dis- pelling of mist postponed. 42 JAMES BENJAMIN GILMAN. Born January 28, 1879. Died July 10, 1900. James Benjamin Gilman was born near Churchville, New York, January 28, 1879. After a district school training, he entered the Churehville High School. When Ben was about seventeen his family moved to Rochester. In the fall of 1897 he came to Oberlin. He was prominent in athletics, playing right tackle on the famous '98 team, and the team of the following year, two years winning second place in the pole vault, and taking part in the last gymnasium exhibition. Leaving Oberlin on June 28, 1900, in company with Oscar Lewis, he attempted to make his way to Calumet, Michigan, where he had employment in the copper mines. On the night of july 10, 1900, the boys met death at the Carp Furnace in Marquette, Mich- igan. Never known to speak a cross word, always bright and cheerful, ever sac- rificing his own wishes that he might help and please others, his death was mourned by a large circle of admiring friends. OSCAR FREDERIC LEWIS. Oscar Frederic Lewis was born at Houghton, Michigan, on February loth, 1879, and was killed at Marquette, Michigan, on july Ioth, 1900, while on his way home from Oberlin. In the fall of 1897 he came to Oberlin, entering the Academy as a special stu- dent , and two years later he entered the College as a Freshman with the class of'o3. As a student he stood high in his classes, his ability being recognized by teach- ers and fellows alike. His was one of those rare minds so seldom met with that we scarcely know how to take them,-a mind quick to grasp a point and sure in anal- ysis, yet so keen that to one who knew him but little it sometimes seemed almost cutting and ironical. He had a wide circle of friends, and but few confidants. By those among whom he mingled as a fellow student and friend he will be remembered for what he was,-a strong, noble character and loyal friend. By the very few who knew him really intimately he is mourned for what he might have been had it not pleased the Divine Reaper to gather in the grain before it was yet ripe. 43 f xi, , . 35,96-a , f. ww Q- gi!-ww ,J . ,Q ,y,... nbilx A ,...A A, ,.!, V 1 'tif I fx 32 . 1 vi!! 7.1, .f 55 , -,41,' , , A v.

Nineteen Hundred and Four! 44 H The Class of 1904. lt is considered very unfortunate by the Freshmen class that they should be called upon to chronicle their ow11 misdemeanors graphically, pathetically or even truthfully, for it is a matter of record that the lireshman btunp of self-conceit has not been over-developedg nor have the waves of Iirosperity-domestic and other- wise-been of sufficient largeness to completely engulf them with its deluge of good things, but, contrary to the expectations of their most intimate .friends they have thrived upon the barren products of l.?l'CSlll1l2llNlOI11. lt is not the habit of Freshmen to -boast or to exalt themselves in too bmnp- tuous a manner-a manner entirely unbecoming to lfreshmen and quite unheard of in the present class-but rather to humble themselves: to look with awe and respect upon the hereditary gowns of the wise Seniors and the pretty Seniorettas and take kindly the advice of the great Oberlin puter flI'IllI'll'll.Y and obey. So we do not boast, ,lt was a great day when we entered Oberlin College. Roosters crowed, birds sang, bands played, yea verily, the sun shone. Even President liarrows had anxiously awaited the arrival of the class of IQO4, in fact, 'fone high in authority has made the statement that the good D. D. had intended to greet us with the Chautauqua salute but he had been called out of town at the last moment and we wvere not saluted. 'Iilut the Doctor had perhaps good reasons to be concerned about our arrival for it is well understood that he had loaned Teller his own silk hat three months before, and Teller in his absent-minded, deep-in-love fashion, had entirely forgotten the incident until a call at my office summons tickled his intellect and he was now about to call. Well, we arrived. One hundred and forty-eight people with Cochran. Many would-be Freshmen eager to excel in their studies and duly informed of l?'res'hn.-an math and kindred delusions, made great preparations for their year's work. Some even brought along their own supply of brain food, in fact the state'- ment has been made upon good authority that lfrank l'eirce had a dried herring packed away in his dress suit case and Osborn a codtish, while the remaining nebula' of the Freshman constellation, scintillated in their own orbits, their own brightness totally eclipsing anything hitherto manifested by previous Freshmen. Vt hile we have exceeded the greatest expectations of our most intimate friends in things pertaining especially to lireshmen, still we have managed to inculcatc in our youthful bosoms a hitherto unsatisfied yearning for the hearts of the opposite sex. So marked has this manifestation been. that it is but a question of time how long we may be permitted to enjoy the companionship of Anderson, Osborn and Nlcliflillen. Not only have these battle scarred veterans stacked arms in heat and cold, in daylight and in darkness, cherishing the hope that the last advance has been made, that the last lap has been covered and that the victory has been theirs. but they have stimulated the minds of such men as Shepler, Teller and Livingston and have brought disorder and confusion within a once happy household. Never- theless, though we are handicapped by these exceptional cases of newly developed bliss, still as a class we have managed to have our own social gatherings now ant! then. Vile entertained the men of the Sophomore class who were bound hand and foot by the ties of friendship which lireshmen are always anxious to extend to Sophs. Then we have had our huskingbees, sugar parties and skating parties and other social functions which a well behaved and obedient class deserve. But the event of the year culminated in our shirt-tail parade and its aftermath. It is difti- cult to state which was the most enjoyable but it is conceded by all that both were a success. The only sad event to mar the proceedings was the loss of l'ocock's only 45 ' night shirt, which was torn from his back and hung in the branches of the highest tree, and to sympathize with him in his bereavement the girls went into deep mourning for twenty-four hours. This bit of mourning to the sore eyes of the Sophs was like waving a red blanket at a Texas steer, abcv'--the Sophs bellowed and roared in vain and to es- cape annihilation they beat the-ir breasts and a hasty retreat. lVe floundered around in Oberlin mud for nearly ten weeks playing tie games and trying to settle the football question but the wrath of the immortal gods was upon us and we Houndered in vain. Still the presence of the young ladies of the class always inspired the mud bedecked warriors of the gridiron especially when :Xngle attempted to lead them in the Sophomore yell, Y. ,Qji.c'.L- :2- 9 -Pr Q , -- - ef a. f rxf . - ' M WN fr- s-53 .4, sl sf A - -- jc...-......

The ups have been the means of cheering the heart of many a homesick Freshman, the downs, -well never mindg consult the Registrar. Still let it be distinctly understood, all statements to the contrary not- withstanding, that the Freshman class has demonstrated that it has, by its own merit, entitled itself to all the respect and consideration which must needs be shown it, and let it be understood that it has proved its fitness to succeed in anyi thing which its members may choose to undertake for it has listened to the cute' jokes and witticisms of such a man as Professor Martin and at such remarks, it has smiled when it was time to smile and laughed when it was time to laugh.

The theologues are a quiet folk, minding their own and other people's busi- ness in a matter-of-fact way which att1'acts ve1'y little attention from the outside wo1'ld. Great, therefore, was the excitement which prevailed when the following notice was found posted on the bulletin board in Council Hall: . FISHING EXCURSIONS. All theologues, with their mothers-in-law, wives and children and lady f1'iends, a1'e asked to be ready at 8:30, May 5, to start from the basement of Scoundrel Hall fo1' the first Annual lfishing' Excursion along' the banks of Plum Creek. fSig'nedD lf'REX'lE, per A. H. C. P. No. 1-All theologues having engagements to preach that Sunday can lind substitutes among' the bearded and bald-headed incipient theol-ogues in the college classes. P. S. No. 2--Faculty will furnish refreshments in general, but only one cow will be taken to fu1'nish food for the younger children: therefore every father is desired to have at least one extra bottle in the inside pocket of his SWCEltCl', for cows in the pastures on the way are liable to be wild and ha1'd to catch. P. S. No. 3-All theologues are expected to take clean white handke1'chiefs, and those with young children will take at least two: one for the baby's nose, and one for the Grand Chautauqua Salute, which, led by the President, will be given frequently, whether there a1'e any observers or not. The Junior class came out of Prof. Swing's 1'oom just as Prof. Currier posted this notice, After 1'CZl.flll1Q' it, Tiohn exclaimed: That,s what T call liberal theolog'y. Do you notice that it says, :And their lady friends?, Now T shall not be compelled to restrict myself to one, and I g'uess it won't be stretching the let- ter of the law too much if l include myself under the clause that reads 'mothers- in-law.' . ' Weefl, f1'om the rear of the group, objected on the ground of expansion at too great a rate on Tlohnys part. llut llohn shut him up with the remark. l wouldnlt say much about 'expansionf if il had come with a mother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, a wife and two children. Morgan finally settled the point by of- fC1'll1g' Rohn the place of his lady friend, for as he explained at Thanksgiving party time, l-le had been in Oberlin only five years, and did not yet know any girl well enough to ask her. Then the class went into Prof. l'3osworth's room. The professor seemed more than usually pleased and prefaced the recitation with the remark that I-le was sorry to lose the hour which the fishing party would necessitate. but he felt that it was a good thing for the Seminary. and he thought he could plan sufficient reading on the 'Canon' so that the loss would not be ve1'y great. Meeker groaned and voiced the thought of the whole class. except Miss Mayff when he observed that they all had confidence in 'his ability along those lines. Wlieii Sunday arrived a happy crowd assembled for the start. The Oberlin Mule Team were out in full force, each one wearing his new child's cap with 'lf Miss Mav is the P. G. from the college who always studies before she tries to translate a habit which she fell into in Freshman Greek with Piiof. Martin. 62 the pretty letters on top, HO. M. T. The twin poets of Room 41 were there, each smoking his pipe of eubebs. Corbin had his pockets full of dominoes, and Colburn was carrying the tailboard to Early's baby wagon, on which he said they proposed to play out that game of 42 which the monitor, Mr. Willie John Wil- liams, of No. 9, had interrupted the night before at one o'clocik, saying that Dr, Swing could not allow so much noise so long before breakfast, and that it was a mean thing for a theologue to do anyway, to get a couple of Cads into their room and keep them from their lessons, when Proff Peck supposed they were studying math. for Sherkf' Prof. King was a little late. but telephoned that he was looking for more red lines, because he always caught more fish with them than he did with the blue linesi' he used mostly. Soon Prof. G. F. Wright was seen coming across the campus with a geo- logist's hammer. He explained that he expected to use it to break the ice, be- cause the fish always bit better in a sub-glacial streamfl He said he had used it to very good effect in fishing for the ark where the children of lsrael crossed the Red Sea on dry land, and he was expecting any day a change of leveli' between here and Elyria which would make startling discoveries as to the amount of rain which fell during the flood when Jonah had shipped for Nineveh on the horseless carriage route by sea. grant was gone to Springfield to see his mother, so he didn't make any trou e. just as all were ready to start it was noticed that Dad Oyster-brook was not yet in sight. Tn spite of the fact that Prof. Rosworth observed that it was not yet time for Estabrook to be early, Life offered for the trivial sum of 750, if someone would furnish a wheel, to go and remind him that this was Sunday and the day of the fishin'. As the crowd started across t'he campus Elliott point- ed in an indefinite way over towards the chapel and said he was wondering if possibly there might not perhaps be something coming from that direction Sure enough. it wa-s Dr. Swing. drawing his little son's substitute for a baby carriage. viz., a Rabbitt's soap box wagon with wooden wheels. Tu the buggy he had two large demijohns. One was labeled Hhlenkinls ever-ready hair emulsion and the other said in large letters, Bourbon The Prexie suggested that they all give the Dr. a hearty Oberlin Chautauqua salute as he came up. VVilliams objected because he said Dr, Swing did not approve of so much noise and it was a bad example forthe Cadsf' Rut it was given iust the same. VVhen Miss Rosie Annie Swing and the other theologues had their neat little handkerchiefs cosilv tucked away in their inside pockets Prexie observed that it might as well be understood now as ever that the whiskey was for snake bites and each student was to rigidly confine himself' to only two snake bites an hour. After stopping three or four times to give the grand Chautauqua salute to those whom they met on the way to church land it was an impressive sightl. they were led bv the President to the rear door of the First church. Here thev all disappeared. The preaching was good and the music exceptional. This ending of the first great annual excursion of the theologues was pronounced by the city editor of the Review to be one of the most pleasant social occasions of the year.

N a few more weeks, yes, in a very few more weeks. we shall come out of our shells and breathe the pure air of lfreslnnandozn. Long have we patiently waited, always trying to keep ourselves out of the way, and never letting anyone know that there was such a thing as Oberlin Acad- emy. We have studied hard, only Hunking occasionally to keep from becoming conspicuous, and we must say that we have answered office calls promptly, never giving Mr. Peck a moment's trou- ble, and have always followed his advice and counsel to the letter. llut although we have been so wood, a few of our number have b had difficulties, and one found out that it cost 354.60 to shoot cats in . X Oberlin. Our desire not to let anyone know that we existed did not pre- vent us from having a foot-ball i g team. lt only kept us from play- v ' - - . , ing any games. As our one ambi- s ..,. - .0 tion is to be the most remarkable class that ever entered Oberlin College, and not like the common Freshmen, we decided that we could prepare for a ehainpiouship team next year just as well, and less noticeably, by turning ourselves into 'varsity scrubs. A visitor to Dill .lfield last fall would have had difficulty ill telling which was the 'Varsity and which were the Scrubs. VVe are sorry that truth requires this con- fession on our part, but all we need to do is to refer to the Fauvers. As has been said, we are very retiring, and wish neither to be seen nor heard. But on one occasion it became necessary not only to be seen and heard, but also to be felt. lt wasn't our fault. Those Middlers, who had never been taught their place, were the cause of our uncharacteristic action. We, like Uriah I-Ieep, are very 'umble, but when interfered with, there is sure to be trouble. What hap- pened has long been history. And it is only necessary to say here that since their short, sharp lesson the Middlers have been very respectful. Most of us are naturally quiet and studious. But we have had our social life much asevery other class. At the 'beginning of the year we held the customary gatherings just to become acquainted, and most of us succeeded. Our Thanks- giving party would have done credit to any college class, and showed that We were not lacking in social stars. But many of us wondered if it would always be uf' is'd'9iiif P lllll .il W ill' il all sf' ,l li, 73 11ecessz11'y 111 1121v0 il 1'121ss 11lCC1.'1l1Q' 0v01'y 1121y 11111' Il 11111111111 110f111'0l1z11111 to 21rra11ge 1111- 11, 211111 21111111101' CVC1'y 1121y 1111' Zl 1111111111 2l11LE1'WZl1'C1S 111 pay for 11.

It is a class organization in its primitive state. The nucleus of what may be a class as strong and well organized as even the Freshmen are supposed to be. The chronicle of our year's events cannot compare with some other classes which are on beyond us somewhere in this rough and uneven way of courses, it cannot compare with other classes which have put themselves to the trouble of marching through the streets at a late hour clad in midnight mourning costume, and making the night air hideous with their unearthly squawking in order that there might be a scrap the next day over the crepe they would wear. and so their class historian might have something to write about. Nevertheless we have had a few events take place that interested those taking part, beyond expectations. The first time that we realized that we were really a distinct class and free to go along together unmolested-save the few interviews we have occasionally with Mr. Peck, which are exceptions-was in the Bible class, which, by the way, is a place where we are supposed to meet each week, and which has later de- veloped into sort of an art class for some. Then there was the wonderful foot-ball season: of course we clicln't play any real games, nevertheless we elected a captain, who told us many things about feet-ball. We watched the scrubs bucking the 'varsity and took clown a great many notes that will be of great use to us in playing the peanut game in after years. During the year we have had a few parties. We have met together occasion- ally in order that we might become better acquainted with the fair ones of our 77 class, but none of these parties com- pared with the sleighing party. This sleighing pa1'ty was decisive proof of two facts: first, that the girls enjoy sleighing parties nmch better than the f? boys-26 to 3. and second, that the girls QWZWZW of the class are much better organized than the boys-30 to 4. Some good peo- ple are wondering why it required four T Y' . iv' . .7 il T-I me f 1 T , , T7 M.: V 1 .s -3 at -. mlm' x ' i '?QQ f'j '1 ltg.,,jfL-3 ,yr j , .. -vigiy LL., I 1 l ,alll f- Q Iilhi R will .l ,I ti lt l n ' 4 1' Q 'Q ,jill . chaperones for a party in which there .5 Q b were only three boys. No one knows. ' . i XVe realize that the boys of the class need a little more class spirit--not the f .. kind that you pay ten cents a glass for, but simply the kind that the girls had before and after the sleighing party. VVell, we wouldn't want to close without mentioning the'Uscrap. That was our most heroic deed of the year. And although we may have more scraps during our course, we do not intend to roll our enemies quite as long Ci. e., not as many hoursj in the snow, or demolish the furniture in quite the same Way as we did in French Hall. But since following this event we didn't receive an Epistle from Peck it might be very profitable for us to unite our forces and reduce the whole hall to a mass of ruins, since by doing this we might get a new building: but we shall not begin by smashing things up with each other's heads, even if we did succeed in breaking window panes with them during the night of the clash of classes. The janitor says that the next morning he gathered up a basket full of pieces of noses. ears, a few teeth, collar buttons, neckties, etc. Now that the year is over we think that we have done just a little better than any other Middle Cad. class in the past. The curtain drops here for this year to rise again a year later when we will be seen in all our glory as SCIITUI' Cady. This is the end, but not the Hnishg a close, Init not the last scene. 1 .',- , 1' s :il - j H'- cr i g 2 I , ' X ,my . Hltj cy X tl l , M ,W 59 1 X ! fggir i ' 1 V . ' .f,,f,'i .3 .T .K-f'6Q-x Rv.

I-IE Senior member, by no means disconcerted at his ten-minute tardiness, made a careless and dignified entrance into the familiar elegance of his little society room. Leisurely sinking into an upholstered corner seat, he dreamily surveyed the surrounding parliamentary scene. Another month and he would -be forever barred from active membership in Phi Kappa Pi. The chance tfhouglit sent his consciousness a-coursing back over the varied events of his society life. It seemed hardly credible that he was now one of the oldest and most expe- rienced of Phi Kappais members 3 that almost four years before, in company with Metcalf, he had bashfully ventured to 'havehis name inscribed on the society roll, and to shyly take a place among the most brilliant minds of the college. With vivid coloring the old scenes blended with the present and held fast his reverie. 'How he had admired, in those days, the wonderful forensic ability of Thomsen, Warner, Williams and Mosher! How he had dreamed that, in time, he, too, might hold society offices and become a forceful debater and speaker! And now, verily, the terms had passed by till he himself was a Senior, looked up to by the under-class members, doubtless, as he had reverenced those gone before. There was Metcalf in the chair now, able and confident, dealing out parliamentary procedure with lavish abandon 5 Tompkins and Benedict, too, his fellow tremblers when they were freshmen, were taking a most active part in the meeting, quite impressing the assemblage with their knowledge of Roberts' Rules, or, anon, con- vulsing their hearers with facetious remarks, mephistophelian puns, or remarks concerning the gas committee. Livingston, an Academy student when the Senior had joined, was showing his advanced mastery of society methods by the pay- ment of a fine instead of the presentation of his due oration. LeRoy Laird, once a shy little fellow, now a rotund, plump-faced member with the weight of long experience upon him, was just entering the room, a half hour late as usual. Pen- dleton, who used to twist and turn his heels and lips as he stood on the carpet, rose ponderously before the society and hurtled forth words of appealing elo- quence in favor of a small orchard of Phi Kappa trees-what would the folks think now, Pendleton! ln his critique, even little Toddie Morgan showed much of the imbibed society spirit by constant, untiring allusions to Phi Kappa Pi's high standard. Shades of Yocom, Hyde and Fauver! Was ever a purer bluff 88 in debate more prettily presented than the one of which Bissell and Reed were now bereaving themselves? Ah ! exulted the Senior member, ,tis a great thing to be one of the pillars of your society-make room for me to indulge in a little swell ! They were coming to the reading of fines. In order to avoid the grating sound of Cross's voice as he read the Senior I1lCllllJCl',S name for the fourth time. that worthy enthusiast promulgated the mystic sign of tl1e two lingers and left the room. wth l W ' , i tj.: :fi'7.l'i'l!1lil + N D A . i , ff mf .

Vice-President: Is there any other business we can transact while we are waiting for those Seniors to elect their farewell speaker? Miss E. E. Wright: Miss Vice-President, I move that we elect members to till their places next fall. Miss Willard: I second the motion. Miss Earle: Miss Vice-President, I object. I don't think we shall miss them as much as that. We can run society all'right. Miss Knapp: Miss Eade forgets that all the juniors and other members of society are not so forward in taking part in meeting as she is. Vice-Presi-dent: We will proceed with the election. Will Miss Wright ex- plain just what she wants. Miss E. E. Wright: I clidn't mean to fill their places as orators and essayists. They do well enough, but I meant in special ways, according to the characteristics of each. I . , I , Vice-President: Oh, I see. Well, we'll have the nominations and then vote on them altogether. Let's begin with Miss Fauver. Miss Browne: I think Miss Fauver's rather pugnacious. Vice-President: Are there any' nominations? Apparently Miss Fauver has no rivals in this department. Can some one suggest some other quality? Chorus: Energetic. Miss Godfrey: Nominate Miss Heebner. Vice-President: We must hurry on. Miss Carey-she has dignity. Miss Barrows has been nominated. I think she'll do very well in time. Miss Sperry comes next. An awed silence follows, finally: Miss M. Z. Wright: Miss President, I thin-k she's haughty. S'he's a little freezing sometimes. But shels quite an ornament. Vice-President: Can somebody suggest a haughty person? We must have somebody. Miss Fessenden, suppose you practice up and see what you can do. Now for Miss Peterson. Miss Munger: I nominate Miss Stickel. She hasn't talked any yet. Vice-President: We must hurry. Miss Mary Belden: Miss Stiles has steady company. Miss Annie White would do for that. Vice-President: I donlt see what that has to do with society. Miss Ellen Belden: Oh, yes, s-he'd be good. You know she and Ned- Q2 Vice-President: I think Miss White would do on other grounds. She could make anything sound well, she's so pretty. Miss Stiles always does. Miss Earle: I nominate Miss Peck for Miss Fairfield's place. Both have red hair and are not to be crushed, though Miss Peck doesnit say so much. Miss E. E. VVright: Miss Sweet has sort of red hair too, but then she never says anything. Miss Willard: I nominate Miss Fowler in Miss Clark's place. They both live on Forest street. Vice-President: Ts there any one who can whisper as Miss Thomsen does? Chorus: The Belden twins. Vice-President: Can any one roll out tragic tones like Miss Hirt's? Miss Willard: T think I could. Vice-President: Can any one suggest a substitute for Miss Stokes? Miss Alice Carey: I'll try to roll my eyes, and Miss Craft's hair is nearly the same color. Vice-President: Miss Savage is the last. I don't know what we can do unless we find a pretty little doll with a phonograph-oh, here come the Seniors. T hear them weeping in the doorway. We shall not weep for them. i ft 1 . rf:-A . !6',' .f7' X Hi ' ff X CX ,T .ff ', lf' Xxgj myfh ff! . ' . .-V ' ' f:g,..:-.:.-ffm V' 1 2 v , 7 .l fix V , . J X' .35 1 93 PHI DELTA. FACULTY MEMBERS. F.

The little clock on the mantelpiece lazily ticked off the five minutes grace after 6:15, while a few of the faithful members were slowly straggling in. 'At 6:51 the president called for order. The roll was called and the auburn-haired member of the honorable Board of Directors set the pace for the singists of the society. These last, however, refused to accept the counterfeit notes which were tendered them and the song ended with a cut-short note of-well, most any denomination. While the secretary was before the society, puzzling out his records of the previous meeting, several belated grand-marchers wandered in through the door, hands on their watch-pockets and a somewhat unnecessary look of surprise on their faces. Bush brought up the rear. Your humble scribe removed his coat, found a cool and comfortable place near a window, and settled down to enjoy the evening. The critic began by wondering how he was going to begin. Before he had finished the scribe was wondering how 'he was going to stop. He rambled on in an aimless sort of way, occasionally making a pertinent remark about some fellow member which caused all the other members to smile according 'to their several abilities. He finally came to the sane conclusion that the program of the preced- ing week was a very warm article Cfhere the scribe looked about for a fani, and then, gazing complacently at his audience, he sat down. The action so surprised the scribe that he became unconscious. and the drawl- ing tone of the essayist and the impassioned eloquence of the orator, delivered in an impressive, stammering manner, fell upon unhearing ears. A sharp tap of the gavel made him dream of a home-run in the ninth inning with two men out and one run needed to win 'the game. He heard the plaudits of the spectators. and awoke--to find the debate in progress. The question was: Resolved, That a seventeen-dollar tax for Phi Delta's picture in 'the Annual is excessive. Two worthy Seniors were vigorously affirming the injustice of the charge. while the Tuniors had retained two of their most wordy men to defend their position. The Seniors told what they didn't know about Annuals: the juniors attempted to tell what they did know, but did not succeed very well. The judges would not come to a decision. They were afraid of the horrible joke manufacturing powers of the juniors on the one hand and the terrible physi- cal retribution which might overtake them on the other side. The society debated long and financially, but the question was finally thrown into the waste basket. Somebody said that was because it was a scrap question. Bush had retired during fthe reading of the critique. It was now past 7:30 96 and he had just returned before the extempore speeches were announced. At this point he left the room in great agony and was not seen again. It was just a way he had. The corresponding secretary read the appointments and the treasurer fol- lowed with the disappointments, None of the committees were ready to report so the society went on to new tbusiness. VVoodrutT was elected to inform Aelioian that the mens' society had now paid all their bills in conection with the society reception, Roberts was instructed to bury his hatchet-a la M rs. Nation or any other way he might choose. Rich had a scheme for hiring a steam roller to assist the chair in keeping order during exciting general debates. Some members, how- ever, were afraid that the roller might accidentally run over the clock which had recently been put in running order. lf so, it would very likely be damaged-the clock, not the steam roller. So the motion was lost. After some further important business Phi Delta adjourned. The scribe ad- justed his coat, got his cap and turned his steps toward the pie manufactory of one of Oberlin's most popular citizens. Gathered in this den of veal sandwiches and chocolate Sundays the members of the society held their weekly love feast. Cider Howed freely and bowls were drained to the last drop-at your neighbor's expense. But the salted peanuts on the way out! .Xnd the way they got home! And the ---! No, the scribe must not tell everything. He has told more already than he can tell his professor tomorrow morning. llllll . lllllilllll lil! IIII ill 97 I AELIOIAN. VIRGINIA BILLINGS, MRS.

HE lights were ont, the janitor had just turned the key in the lock after talking care to see that the chairs were still in disorder and the papers strewn on the tables and Hoor, and as silence came over the rooms of Sturges Hall, the Artemis in the Aelioian room stepped down from her pedestal with a sigh. Another Monday night gone, Santa llarbaraf' she said: we had a pretty good time tonight, didn't we ? Yes, but I get so lonesome sometimes for the old girls. Now those '98 girls who presented me were a line set and showed excellent taste. Not one bit better than those in IQOO. l was so glad to see Miss Royce and Miss lelanby when they came back and hear them speak again, and Vm the first statue that ever came here anyway. V Yes, but you didn't have a pedestal for some time but had to sit there on a corner of the platform and T don't think what you have now is a thing of beauty. O, well, it will do for a foot stool, but let's talk about the meeting. I think they are improving. All thenextempores were on the assigned subjects tonight. 'I' have a terrible fear that this portends something wrong for it never happens more than once a term anyway--they conldn't have planned right. U What do you suppose they will do when the 'lloer war stops and the Philip- pine agitation is over P l hate to think of it. l'm afraid society will have to be given up. lint they have some pretty good orations now. if they would only put in a few gestures and get more excited, T should tremble for the chances of the boys if they let the girls try for the big contest. O, they wont: it was hard enough for the girls to get even an essay on the class contests this year. , General discussion doesn't seem to progress very fast. they still keep a dis- creet silence when any strictly political subject comes up but they seemed to do better on the divorce question the other night. Queer subject for Miss Galpin and Miss Gilbert to choose. wasn't it F Yes, I thought they were taken up with thoughts of what comes before di- vorce from what some of the girls said. That makes me think of Parliamentary Drill when they always seem to have so many jokes about some boys' societies and then once in a while about engaged girls. There isn't but one, is there? Thats the same Miss Millikan they were going to appoint as chaperone the other night and then decided she couldn't be one for all her experience had come when she 'went double.' I Can't understand any of those jokes very wellf' I00 No, or those about things being rural and not conforming to the usages of good society, but they must be very funny, for they always laugh when they are brought up. - It's easier to comprehend when they get back to discussions of curtains and chandelier decorations. I am quite familiar with all the popular arguments about those. Hut what girl do you like best? l am getting very much interested in Miss I-Iamilton who lives in such a fine town. I should like to see it, for as one of the critics said. her town can illustrate any topic that is brought up. ' She always frightens me a little for she nods her head so, l'm always afraid she's mad at some one. I thought that Miss Hough looked like a nice girl the night she joined but I donit believe she's been here more than twice since, so I can't get very well acquainted. llut I like them all anyway, from Miss Hostetter, though she doesn't seem to know much about electricity-for she made a motion once to have the plumber come and put in a telephone-down to Miss Button who always holds on her hair in such a peculiar manner when she approaches the plat- form. I, for one, thank the day ! came to adorn the room of the Light Bearersf' I, too, said Santa Barbara, 'H-Xelioian forever, is my motto, and as she settled back in her frame and Artemis once more ascended her pedestal, silence again came over the old society room.

Such was the case with the Junior Bryan Club, whose meteoric career last fall was the surprise of the year, and the talk of the entire community. The origin of the llryan Club was after this wise. Last October when the political pot was boiling merrily, the thought came to several of the most p1'Ol'I1l- nent followers of the lloy Orator, to organize a Bryan Club among the mem-bers of the Junior class. ln pursuance of this idea a call was issued to all loyal Demo- crats of the class to meet and tdisjcuss the organization of such a club. Alas, f the serious complications and difticulties such a club would produce, or the immense influence which it was to exert upon the political alfairs of the college. the men who started this movement had no idea o 136 The meeting for organization was held in the rooms of Stanley Livingston, and to the surprise and gratification of the promoters every able bodiedf' full blooded voter in the class was present. Here was Harold Reed, the Cedar ave- nue politician, Dicky Jones, the female diplomat, not to mention many others, bringing to the meeting their boundless enthusiasm. The discussion that evening was long and heated, each one had some pet scheme of his own to propose, -but underneath it all was the firm conviction of every one present that it lay with the junior class to arouse the students and citi- zens from their lethargy. After serious meditation the following resolution was adopted: That the aim of this club is to educate the Oberlin community in true Democratic doctrines, by personal solicitation, public speech, and if necessary, by physical persuasion, The next step was to arrange for a large mass meeting to be held in the chapel. Sanborn, the genius of the club, was intrusted with this affair. He went to Cleveland and secured from the central committee a well known political orator and spell-binder. Permission was obtained from the powers that rule,', for the young ladies to attend. A quartet was organized to furnish music, and every precaution was taken to make the meeting a howling success. And now it is the eventful night. The club marches to the chapel in a body. Within sits an enthusiastic throng waiting eagerly for the meeting 'to begin. The club takes the position of honor, immediately in front of the speakerg to the right sit the young ladies of the class, loyal as ever -to our cause. In a few well-chosen words Mr. A. R. Brown introduced the orator of the evening. His speech was a carefully worked out exposition of the principles of modern Democracy, and was received by the audience with loud applause. Each new doctrine was received with the utmost reverence, the speaker carrying his audience along by his masterful oratory, until he closed with the following mag- nificent exhibition of forensic power: I leave with you tonight the destiny of a mighty nation. Bound down as she is by the weight of oppression and corruption, I appeal to the young men of the nation, to the young men of Ohio and lastly to the young men of the Junior class of Oberlin College to rescue her from danger. 'With such a trust imposed upon them the club was encouraged to continue the fight. Five meetings were held before Psych. in Peters' Court, and every even- ing open air meetings were held on Talcott corner. .lt was at these small gather- ings that the best work of the campaign was done. . On election day as a final show of fidelity to principle the entire club marched to the polls and cast their votes for the VVinning Candidatef' I Do not think that the entire existence of this club was one of ease and pleas- ure. Oft times the club was compelled to protect its speakers from personal vio- lence. Then, too, the faculty frowned upon our efforts. The officers of the club were summoned to appear before them and make an explanation of the doings of ' A 137 FP' the club, and it was only after much difficulty that the Dean of the Won1an's De- partment was appeased. Political meetings were not in good form, or according to the usages of good society, therefore the young ladies should not have attended. But happily all these things were explained and in the end the club received the approbation of the faculty. Our work was accomplished, and everyone felt satisfied with the results. We had demonstrated to the world at large that there were still a few loyal Americans remaining in Dberlin, who, following in the footsteps of the illustrious Finney were not afraid to let their convictions be known. And finally we had proven that free speech and free silver should not perish while 1902 remained in Oberlin. as N .nm Q Q -me at ' '-'. FEI ug 'SEV ft? Q W 1 A f ' ' fe tl J 'i .

HE representative of the press sat in his chair allowing his intellect to recuperate from the strain of producing one of those soul-inspiring edi- torials on Thursday chapel. Suddenly the waste basket, which he had just cleaned out, rose from its place by the table, went to the door and opened it. The editor watched with staring eyes, and was not in the least sur- prised, although rather frightened, to see Mrs. Peters walk in followed by the members of her boarding house family. The Associate bringing up the rear re- assured him somewhat. The Wasite Basket advanced and addressed the Editor, who had not moved nor spoken, such a spell was on him. Now I have you where you can't take the unfair advantage of blaming me with those effusions of yours. I'm going to show you up, and Mrs. Peters and her gang have come to help. They all want a shot at you. Prof. Rice will soon be here with the constable, but before they come we will try to entertain you. Here the associate crossed the room and stood 'beside his chief. Now I shall begin the disclosures, continued the Waste Basket. Mr, Pessim, will you look in that left hand pigeon-hole? That's where he keeps the jokes that he blames on me. The Associate made a move as if to interfere. hut Mr. Pessim and Mr, Theo- logue both sat on him, and the tall junior girl reached toward the pigeonghole. The Associate's gallantry. reinforced as it was by the efforts of the two gentle- men. would not let him interfere with her, so he lay quiet and waited. Read them, please, said the Waste Basket. The junior girl looked closely at the paper. They seem rather mixed up. T can't make much of them, she said after a pause. Yes, that:'s characteristic. said Mr. Star Boarder. VVhich do you mean is characteristic P said the Associate. He was getting the better of his gallantry. The remark, however, had no effect, except to make the junior girl look slightly more haughty, and Mr. Pessim start as from the quip of a familiar lash. Never mind him. He's just imbibed the spirit shown hy his chief at the table, said Mr. Star Boarder. Yes, and in his present position he doesn't dare say that was all there was at my table to imbihef' snapped Mrs. Peters. Perhaps not: but there was so little on your festive board last night that the Editor said he feared he would have to eat the nut-crackers, replied the Associ- ate!! 148 Ohl I begin to make something of them now, said the junior girl, who had been steadily studying the manuscript. Good work li' broke in the Associate. You show more than human intelli- gence-almost positive brilliancyf' It takes brilliancy to elucidate these jokes, replied Mr. Pessim. V Don't you try it then, said the Associate. He was indeed showing him- self an admirable understudy for his chief. Go on, said the Waste Basket, rather impatiently to the junior girl. A All right. I-Iere's one. 'The silence was unbroken till we heard a ginger snap on the plate. That must have been just after one of Mr. Star Boarder's attempts at a joke, said the Associate. Mrs. Peters glanced at him, but the Junior girl went on. 'The darkness fell with a rattling sound on all the country aboutf He surely did that the night that he hurt his head, said the Waste Basket. Why, has he hurt himself lately P said the Freshman girl with her ready sympathy. f'Yes. He ran against a stone wall. I believe he tried to move the Conserv- atory by butting his head against it, but he found the' con stable. That was a horse on him, said Mr. Star Boarder. The Associate did not reply. He merely writhed as in agony. I suppose the constable found him the next morning, continued Mr. Star Boarder, and his eyes gleamed with fiendish delight at the discomfiture of the Associate. No, but I want him now, said a gruff voice as the door opened. Wait a minute, said Prof. Rice, who was just behind the gruff-voiced man. Let us give the gentleman the Chautauqua salute--that is, if you people have clean liandkerchiefsf' - The salute was given with an almost barbarous enjoyment by everyone but the Associate, who seemed oblivious to all that went on. Then the constable ad- vanced and shook the editor roughly by the shoulder. Hi there! I-Ii! Got any copy ready? lt was Captain Randolph's voice, and the Editor began to wake up muttering excitedly: !l, What's that which breaks upon my sight, That glorious, gorgeous, glittering gleam, That lovely, luscious, lustrous light From rosy, red-ringed roystering rays? 'Tis Day! ,Tis Day! What's that you say? Oh Fish! What ails me anyway! Want copy? No, Cap, I can't stay.

One day, two little stars, celestial twins, Went wandering from their ifilmy nest in Space. They wandered where earth ends and sky begins. Leaped the horizon o'er with airy grace, And went to seek in all the mundane sphere A place where they might'shine for good of men 3 Lit with a love-light, confident and clear, To bring bright rays of hope to earth again. They brought with them a bit of azure blue. The setting for their twinkling and their glow. They found a home where blushing roses grew Above two rounded cheeks of purest snow. Ah, what a setting for the roaming stars! For good of men a maiden won the prize. A tiny Venus and a tiny Mars, Held captive-twinkling now, in Stella's eyes! -Paul Lcaion Corbin, O. T. S., ,O3 205 An Experiment in Pedagogy. ICK JAMESON wanted to go south. He was growing restless in the tiresome routine of the Springfield Military Academy. His older brother Allen had left the plantation home in Missouri soon after the close of the war and had made a Financial success of his adventurous trips to the southwest. There he bought up herds of 'Texas cattle and drove them 'cross country northward to the middle west cities destined in the future for great shipping centers. Every time Allen returned Dick grew more restive. VVhat if he were but sixteen? In the hunt his aim was the truest. He could keep the saddle admirably on the most mettlesome pony. Then, too, there was something adventure-loving and dashing in his age and his mental make-up and he wanted to try what seemed to him the really heroic. So it was in the early autumn of '69 that Dick. along with some other young- sters innocent as himself, as well as a few more worldly-wise travelers, started off 011 horseback for the long journey across the lndian Territory and on into Texas. Secure in one of the lad's inner pockets was a crisp roll of bills, the two thousand dollars that his father had left him. Though it was this circumstance that deepened Mrs. Jameson's anxiety as she bade her son a reluctant good-bye, it only seemed to heighten Diek's exuberant spirits: for that was more than any of the other boys had. The journey proved rich in what the young fellows had hoped for in the 'way of adventure. Several times it came near bringing much moreg for the Terri- tory was at that time infested with bands of desperate highwaymen and the Comanche Indians were out on a raid. llut all that was material for many another story often repeated in later years. Suffice it to say that after a long and dangerous journey the little party reached the wide, lawless ranges of Texas. There, instead of investing in long- horned, scrubby-looking cattle, all the younger members-and Dick first of all- sunk their money in a visionary boom-town scheme backed by a clever rogue who forthwith took his departure after the pocketing of the cash. The lads were dis- consolate. The older men shrugged their shoulders in no comforting manner. They needed help in rounding up their own herds and getting them safely over- land to the railroad at Kansas City. But Dick vowed he would not go back. On the outskirts of the eheerless little military post of Jackshoro' near the headwaters of the Brazos he saw the others disappearing along the prairie road in a cloud of dust and tossing horns. Thev had not known quite what his deterrni- nation meant, but he felt it all too keenly. There was in his pocket only one shin' plaster -Eve cents in paper money-and he was alone in a strange country. The 206 boy comforted himself that it was at least an experience and he gave his spirits a lift by tossing this last bit of money to a beggar. He would do any kind of work, just to get a start, and then-there were such magnificent opportunities in this new country-his hopes rose and he set the pony into a brisk gallop. But alas, not a thing could he End to do in the town! He had his reasons for not wanting to try the night there, so off they started a full hour before sun-down. But the pony did not canter. That hour was not a comfortable one. Before a ranch house bare, new, and unpainted, Dick threw his bridle over a post and walked resolutely upto the porch where a man sat smokingg and a pleas- ant rattle of pans came through the open door. Do you know of any place I can get work P the lad began. The man's voice was rough, yet kindly enough to send a lump into the boy! throat. Set down a spell. Stranger in these parts, aint you ? Yes, sir, rather. The man seemed disposed to be interested and, after questioning the young fellow for some time, he said looking at him keenly: Got plenty of pluck, I reckon Pi' - Just give me a chance! Dick's irrepressible spirits were coming up again. The rancher explained: They're wantin' a schoolmaster over on the ridge. Ain't had very good luck with 'em so far. Dick felt a bit dazed. But there'd be some sort of an examination P he questioned. The man gave a short gutfaw. Reckon 't won't take old man I-Iart long to get shet 0' that! It was evidently Dick's chance. He was hospitably invited to stay at the ranch that night and the next morning he rode over to see the chairman of the school board. There he received the cool bit of information that the last school- master had been shot dead and the one before him had been forcibly driven from the place by certain unruly scholars, but that if he wanted to try on a hundred dol- lars a month he was welcome to the place. Dick accepted with no outward show of reluctance and spent the remainder of the day thinking of his mother. VVord was quickly circulated that school would begin forthwith. There was a little breeze of excitement for miles around. The aspect of the schoolhouse was not encouraging. It was built of unhewn logs with a clapboard roof and with a log sawed out on one side for a window and on the other, for a door. Inside there was a puncheon floor, and the seats without backs were little more than logs of various sizes with the tops planed off to a level. On the first morning, the young schoolmaster sat behind his desk taking men- tal stock of his pupils. There was a group of white-headed urchins on the low front seat. They all looked scared. So did the older girls who were wont to break out into hysterical giggles at the most insignihcant happenings. On the back logs were half a dozen big, rough fellows, most of them with unkempt beards on their 207 faces and weapons in their belts. Jameson knew they were there with the avowed intention of breaking up the school. His mind was working rapidly. The morning passed without any serious hitch in the carefully planned pro- gram. But the occupants of the benches against the wall were growing all the time more rough and noisy. Recess time come, they all scufded out of the door. Dick followed. Wliat do you say to a shooting match, boys Fi' he called out in a tone of hearty good-fellowship. The big fellows assented sneeringly as he pinned an ace of spades up on the rough side of the building. i Try it at twenty yards first, he said carelessly as he drew from his pocket a fine Colt's Navy. The others became more interested. They all proved good marksmen but Dick shot last and his bullet plunged into the very center of the spade. Now for thirty yards! The schoolmaster was cool. The frontiersmen were getting excited and re- solved to aim with more care. They would not be out-shot by this tenderfoot kid. . - But still their bullets made an irregular circle around his and again Dick lengthened the range. There was one more trial, a distant thunderstorm of nint- tered oaths, and then the big fellows withdrew sullenly from the match. After recess until noon there was little disorder. The schoolinaster felt that it was an ominous quiet, Then the little ones and the girls ate their luncheons and played about the schoolhouse while the older fellows went off down the hollow. Dick tried to be friendly and succeeded to a degree. One spare little girl with freclcled face and colorless pig-tails ventured to warn him in a frightened whisper. Ye'd better watch out for jake Downs, Mister Jam'son. He's a-schemin'. Wlieii the afternoon session began it was apparent that the back seats had determined on belligerence. Heavy feet were shuffled, whispers rose to mutter- ings, and at last Jake broke into an open scuffle with his neighbor. jameson's under jaw set firmly. Downs, you may leave the house. The lawless fellow folded his arms, sat down, and looked the schoohnastcr over with a contemptuous smile. lt'll take a dern sight more 'n you to git 1llC'!'H Before he could make another move an electrical thrill went through the room. Jameson had whipped out his pistol and stood there pointing it straight into the startled face of the bully. Then he raised his watch. You are to walk quietly out of this room. If at the end of three minutes you have not done so. I shall shoot. Even the hot wind blowing across thc prairie and in through the open window seemed to be hushed for a moment. The children sat rigid on their benches. The 208 . girls grew pale under tan and freckles, The big louts were breathlessly taking in the fun-all but Jake. His first startled look had settled into a sullen scowl as he kept his gaze fast- ened on Dick's face. I-Ie saw the watch without appearing to do so. Tic, tic, tic, it went while the scrub-oaks rustled anxiously outside and it seemed to Dick as if his brain were beating time, I must do it if he stays. Will he stay? O mother, they'll lynch me! But 1'll shoot him if he stays. ln the shoulder! But they'll kill me anyway. One minute gone. Tic, tic, tic. Even the great ruftians on the bench against the wall were growing pale under their thin beards. jake's face was drawn but his eyes did not leave the schoolmaster's. He saw how steady the hand was that held the little black-throated pistol. Two minutes gone. A thousand memories came racing through Dick's inner consciousness. Faces and scenes were sharply outlined before him as on the day when he had seen them last. And all the time he was steadily holding the pistol an-d, with the others, counting off the seconds. The minute was half over when -Iake's face relaxed and became irrcsolutc. Then he rose sullenly and slunk out of the door. :ls -Z' el: zl: :lr :lz :lc :iz Long after all the rest had left the schoolhouse that afternoon, Dick sat at his desk with his chin resting on his palm. Suddenly he realized that it was growing dusk and that he had a dangerous road to traverse. Live-oaks stood black against a red sky and the twilight hush was in the air when he started down the road. Where was jake Downs? 'Ilehind that clump of bushes? Lurking in the shadow of the bridge? No. He was not anywhere along the way. jameson never saw him again. The other fellows called him a coward-perhaps that was the reason he did not come back-but they never tried his little game. Une by one they soon dropped out of school and the children and the girls were docile enough. At the end of the term a snug sum of money was invested in cattle which were then driven across to the trading post at Abilene. This proving profitable was repeated until, although his former golden dreams were scarcely fulfilled. Dick had a comfortable roll in the pocket once so painfully empty. Then he started home with a party of cattlemen bound for St. Louis. Fresh from that city, in upon the little home village, burst the ex-schoolmas- ter arrayed in all the trappings of the adventurous character he felt himself to be. After the First transports, Mrs. Jameson smiled a little over the black suit quite a bit too statesmanlike to accord with a wide gray felt hat and weapons all too much in evidence. But that was Dick's idea of a hero. ' Evelyn Foster Perle, 'o3. 209 EVENING.

VVell, if any man played a trick like that on me I'd have revenge or die in the attempt. lfiggluz Well, I Hatter myself,,Harvey. that I've got it on Frimpy worse than he had it on me. He cut me out of the Thanksgiving party altogether and my troubles are over. But I think that prob- ably by this time I have him so entangled over that Thanksgiving party that he heart- ily envies me my opportunity to stay away. Harvey: What is your game? Riggle: Well, when he came over here that day last week and raved around about the Elyria girl whom he met at the Break- water Club dance over there, I saw my op- portunity. You notieeduhow rejoiced he was at the chance to take Miss Pratt to the conservatory party in your place? 2lI Harvey: Yes. Said he was glad I broke my collar-bone. Rigglc: Well, that is one date he has for Thanksgiving evening. Then you no- ticed that he mentioned the faet that he had written a note to that old, decrepit Miss Boynton-our beloved classmate-asking her for the Thanksgiving Junior party, for the lack of some one better to take, but that luckily he had forgotten to mail the note. and thereby could take Miss Pratt instead? Harvey : Yes. Rigglc: Harvey, old sport, I sneaked over to! his room. found that note on his table, and mailed it. Harvey: Hurray for you, Riggle! Riggle: That is two dates he has for Thanksgiving evening, and I don't suppose it occurred to you, Harvey. that this Mar- guerite Roseborough, the Elyria girl whom he went into ecstacies over, and whom he calls the queen of seven eountiespis a friend of mine. I have written her a little note. Harvey: And that is three dates for Frimpy? - Riggle: We will await developments. llurz'i'y: Shake, old man. It is a great revenge. I V Rigglv: It is a fitting revenge. Harzfcyvz Where are you going now? Over to Frimpy's room, to see Rigglc: my dear friend Frimpy, whose every inter- est I have at- heart. Goodbye, Harvey.

Isn't it enough to drive a man insane? How can I-- - Rigglc: Calm yourself. Frimpy. Tell me about it. Your troubles are my trou- bles. Has the queen of thirteen counties slighted you, or has Miss Pratt refused- Frimpy: Refused! Refused! Well, I should say she didn't refuse. She accepted. And. Riggle, that miserable note to that poison-faced Miss Boynton got mailed some way, and instead of being a sane man with- out a girl for the party, I am a lunatic, a raving maniac. with two dates for two par- ties at the same time.

My Dear Mr. Gates: An unexpected turn in my affairs makes it possible after all for ine to accept your invitation for the delight- ful Junior party in Oberlin the evening of Thanksgiving. The Oberlin man with whom I had an engagement for that even- ing has found it impossible to be here, very acceptably, I may say. CAside: The little 213 wretch! Wait till we have our set-toj. If I did not remember that you said you would spend the day moping in solitude, I would scarcely venture to 'write you now. But, hoping that I may serve to cheer you up, I am, Cordially yours, Marguerite Roseborough. Fri-mpy: Moping in solitude! Well, I should say not, with three dates for the same party. Riggle: Look at the humorous side of il. old man! Frimpy: Humorous! Did you say hu- morous? Tragic, I call it! Rigglc: Brace up, Frimpy! Face the situation calmly. What are you going to do about it? The parties come tomorrow night. You have 24 hours in which to de- cnc e. Frimpy Cbecoming seriousjx Well, Rig- gle, I look-at it this way: I could write Miss Roseborough that I have already dated Miss Pratt, to accommodate Harvey, and ask her to come over and go with Miss Pratt and me, to the con. party. She could be Miss Pratt's guest, and thereby it would be perfectly correct. Rigglc: But there is Miss Boynton. Frimpy: Oh. heavens! That middle- aged gazelle! I forgot all about her. How in thunder did that note get mailed? Rigglc: Well, old man, I'n1 sorry I can't stay to work the problem out for you. Frimpy: I appreciate your interest, Rig- gle. But unless something turns up I sec my finishuin any asylum. - Rigglc Casidelz Revenge is sweet. I think I have it on him for that little job he did me. Don't let it injure your health. Frimpy.

Lirnpy: Your landlady just met me in the hall and asked me to pay up. Frimpy: Goes to show we look as much alike as ever. What did you tell her? Limpy: Told her I am expecting a check tomorrow and 'will pay her all arrears and to the end of the term without delay. Frimpy: You son of a sea-cook! Limpy: She looked real pleased, but doubtful, as though she had heard those tales before. Frimpy: Well, now, for the business in hand. You brought your dress-suit? Limpy: Yes. Frimpy: Well, get it out and get into it. Limpy: But will you kindly tell me where I am going, and who I'm going with, and what I'm to do 'when I get there? Frimpy: I'll explain the situation to you, Limpy. Limpy: Of course we go to the same party? Frmz-py: Heavens, nol We can't be seen together any place. Limpy: Are you ashamed of me? judg- ing by yourself, I'm a pretty bad looker, but I didn't think you would turn me down on that account. Frimpy: Limpy, I will have to confess the awful truth. Accidentally I've made dates with two girls for two different par- ties, the same night. I've imported you from Cleveland to go with one of them. Knowing you like a little adventure once in a while, I thought you would take the keen- est delight in passing yourself off for me. Limpy: Is this the pretty-girl-swell- party you promised me? I thought there was something back of that little telegram of yours. CBangs suit-case shutj. V Frimpy: Now, Limpy, be reasonable. You will have a good time, and they are pretty girls, and it is a swell party. Neither of them knows me so well but that - Lim-py: But I'm not going to take both of them. Frimpy: Well, the truth of it is you will have to take two of them. Limpy: And where will you be all this time? Frimpy: I'll have to take the third one. Limpy: Smouldering smoke-stacks! Ditl you date three girls for the same night? Frimpy: It 'was wholly accidental. Limpy: Well, you are the limit. You are a brilliant social light-- Frimpy: Let me explain- Limpy Clockin up suit case, and putting on overcoatjx islothing short of an imbe- cile would do a job like that. Goodbye. I'll write father that you need a governess- Frimpy Cin distractionj: Wait, Limpy. Don't leave me. Dear Limpy, what will I 213 do without you? Limpy, I was going to suggest that you wear my diamond studs to-night, and just leave them in your shirt and let you have them to keep. Limpy tsomewhat pacifiedl: Well, what are these two girls like? Why must I take two and you only one? lirimpy: You've got the best end of it. I have to take an old two-spot of a girl to the Junior class party and you have two peaches to take to the conservatory party. I'd be glad enough to change places with you, but every one knows me at the Junior party and scarcely any of the conservatory people have ever met me. So you will move all right in that crowd as me. Miss Pratt will introduce you to everybody. She is a peach. And say, that Marquerite Rosebor- ough is a queen of fourteen counties. Lim- py, it's an outrage that I can't go with her- one of the sweetest girls it was ever heav- en's privilege to smile upon. Limpy: Well, let's get into these clothes. Miss Roseborough and Miss Pratt. How well do I know them? Rehearse me on my part, Frimpy. Give me all the local color. Frimpy: You will have to go to Baldwin Cottage for both of them. Miss Rosebor- ough is a girl whom you met at the Break- water Club dance in Elyria Saturday night. She is the guest of Miss Pratt, who is en- gaged to Mr. Harvey-you speak of him as Harvey-who broke his collar-bone play- ing scrub last Friday. That's why I have her on my hands. Harvey is a friend of mine and I offered to take her since he is laid up. You tell Miss Pratt how you sit up nights taking care of him. Here, Lim- py, you wear my patent leathers, They are a little brighter and newer than yours. Limpy: Thanks. I'm satisfied with my own shoes. Fri-mpy: Well, you know, I don't mind what kind of shoes I wear with Miss Boyn- ton, and I want to appear as well as possi- ble before the other two girls. You know I expect to see something more of Miss Roseborough. You may keep the shoes if you will only wear them tonight, and just look out for my interests with Miss Rose- borough. I tell you, Limpy, you will think she is tho queen of seventeen counties. Li-mpy: All right, Frimpy. Frimpy: And these white gloves. I wore white gloves the night I met Miss Rose - Limlvy: Oh, that 'will be all right, Frim- py. I may keep the white gloves? Frimpy: Yes, if you will only wear them tonight, Limpy. I know you detest white gloves, but- Limpy: That's all right, Frimpy. I'll wear the gloves, but I draw the line at a silk hat. Frirnpy: Now, look here, Limpy. I'm treating you white in this deal. You wear my silk hat and- Limpy: No, sir, no silk hat. Frirmpy: But what will Miss Rosebor- ough think? Besides Miss Boynton would be totally overshadowed by a silk hat. I was depending on wearing your derby. Limpy, you might want a silk hat some night in Cleveland. If you will wear that silk hat I'll let you take it home with you to keep-if you will only do the right thing by Miss Roseborough. You must wear it. Limpy: Well, if I must Il must. Just to please you, Frimpy. Frimpy: You're all right, Limpy. Limpy Caside. Wonder if I can touch him for his Inverness eoatb. How do you do when you wear a short overcoat with a dress suit. Do you tuck your tails in your hip pockets, ori Frimpy: Great Barrows! Is your over- coat too short to cover up your tails? Limpy: Yes, it's pretty short, but I'll get on all right. Frimpy Csomewhat doubtfullyj: How would you like to wear my Inverness coat? Limpy: A coat with a cape? Well, I draw the line there. What would Miss Roseborough think 1- A Frimpy: Why, that's the kind of thing she is used to. She's a swell dame, Limpy. Queen of twenty-four counties. You better wear it. Limpy: No, I won't deprive you of it: besides I hate the things anyway. Frimpy: Those coats are the real thing. My heavens, man, don't be so obstinate. You'll simply have to wear it. Limpy: Frimpy, what are you getting me into anyway? I've a notion to pack up and take the first car for Cleveland. ' Frintpy: Limpy, I'll make you an out- right present of that Inverness coat if you will wear it tonight. And if you don't want to keep it you can sell it at a second- hand store in Cleveland. Limpy: Well, since you feel the way you do about it. Nothing but brotherly love, however, would prompt me to do this for any man. . Frimpy: Limpy, you are the best broth- er I ever-anybody ever had. How can I ever thank you enough? CGrasps Limpy's hand, as he passes over the double armful of various clothingj. SCENE 2.-A pillowed recess of Warner Hall. Palms and rugs and draperies.

Miss Pratt: Gertrude, I am not con- cerned with sweet little corners just at pres- ent. What is the matter with my back hair? Gertrude: You seem awfully excited, Mabel. Let me fix it for you. Some of the strands seem to be straggling out. Mable: Well, I should think they would bc. That Mr. Gates is getting to be abso- lutely unbearable.

' Vflliablc: I never was so nonplussed in my 1 e. Gertrude: But you can't'blame him-it was such a delicious chance. Mable: I am surprised at you, Gertrude. And he pretends to be a friend of Harvey's. He has been acting awfully strange the whole evening. I don't understand him. He must have some monstrous joke up his sleeve. . A . ' Gertrude: I can't see that you'have any reason to complain. I never saw any one more attentive. Mable: That is just it. He is supposed to be madly in :love with Margie-my friend, Miss Roscborough. Yet he has scarcely had a word to say to her. On the way over here,.after devoting himself en- tirely to me, he turned to her and said that he supposed she would be glad to learn that her friend Harvey is much better: that he lias been spending most of his time at Har- vey's bedside. And he knew as well as I that she has never so much as met Harvey. Gertrude: And he has deliberately cut her the rest of the evening? V Mable: Yes. Gertrude: Then they have quarreled! Mable: It must be that way. tHe pur- sues me no matter where I go, and of course I amusing every means in my pow- er to keep him with her. And, Gertrude- Gertruzlc: What, dear? Mable: He is actually out on the steps now smoking a cigarette. Gcrtrua'c: How awful! How do you know? , I Mable: When we were together in the corridor he deliberately threatened to do so, and-- ' Gertrude: You didn't let him? Mable: I saw in it a chance to get away from him, and said, All right, go ahead. Perhaps you can get Prof. Rice to join you, and ran upstairs. CEnter Miss Roseborough with Mr. Mat- lack . Mizblcz Oh, hullo, Margie. Been having a good time? Margie: Well. I was just trying to de- cide that point. Mr. Matlack has been tell- ing me all about himself. Mr. Matlack: Such a fascinating topic of conversation, you know. Mable: And so timeworn! Margie: And psychology! Mr. Mat- lack says that lie' has found time to help the collegiate department along in that branch, between his arduous duties of over- seeing the conservatory and directing our little choir in Elyria. Mr. Matlaclc: Speaking of psychology. you people came up here with Frimpy Gates, didn't you? We've got a rich one on Frimpy over there in psych. class. Thought he would come the Frampton- Hemingway act, and ask a question, you know. CEnter Limpyj. Hullo, Frinipy. old sport. I was just telling the girls that little one on youi Limpy Caghastb: Some one who knows Frimpy. CAloudD. I-Iullo, old boy. What one was that? Mallaclc: Why, when you asked Mac- Lennan if an inhibited impulse demon- strates itself in the form of an appetite, is the motive rational? Limpy: I-Ia! ha! That was rich. Hal ha! ha! Matlack: But what was his answer? Limpy: Oh, it doesn't much matter what his answer was. Ha! ha! That was clev- er. Couldn't help laughing at the time myself. Ha! ha! Girls Cin chorusj: But what was the point? Lllllifljll- l-la! ha! fholding his sides. ap- parently convulsed with laughterj. I-Ia! ha! ha! Matlack: The point was in MacLennan's answer. What was his answer, Frimpy? Stop your idiotic laughing. Limpy: Ha! ha! That was rich. Girls: But we haven't gotten to the point yet, Mr. Gates. What about impulses and appetites? Matlock: I wash my hands of it, Frim- py. You will have to explain it to them. Lirmpy Cgrasping at a strawj :. Why. don't you see? I-Ia! ha! Of course, if an impulsive person has an appetite. the mo- tive is rational. I-Ie will move toward the rations. Ha! ha! One of the best things I've heard in years. 215 Mable Casideb: Laughing at his own poor attempt at wit! Gertrude faside, edging toward doorbz I believe he has been drinking as well as smoking. Margie: Perhaps that explains his un- accountable coldness. Mable Cfollowing other girlslz That must be it. l-Ie surely has been drinking. That explains his sudden 'affection for mc. C Exit threej. Matlacle: Can it be possible? Limpy: Have a cigarette, er-ah, Mr.- I don't recall your name. Matlacle Cthrowing up handsl: The girls are right. Too bad! T00 bad! CExit Matlackj. Limpy: What's the matter with these people, anyway? All act like idiots. Won- der who that last lunatic was? I flatter myself that I smoothed over that psychol- ogy matter all right. But what's the mat- ter 'with these girls? When I talk to Miss Roseborough about poor Harvey -with the broken-broken leg, was it?--and how .I sit up nights with him, she says nothing. Modesty, I presume. And when .I try to hold up my end with Miss Pratt, as a prop- er sequel to the little Elyria affair, she gives me the icy glare. They must be of the Oberlin type. Fool customs they have in this institution. That Prof. with the pink whiskers actually looked horrified when I ollered him a cigarette. Oh, well, T may- - CEnter waiterD.

She is to bring along her friend, Helen Foster, whom she has described in a letter to Cook as being pretty, rich and attractive, and upon whom she wishes Cook to make a good impres- sion. Cook has decorated his room with photographs, views of travel in foreign countries, college banners, pillows and kuick-knacks: also a chafing-dish, coat-of- arms and books-all borrowed. Beecher has just left. Cook is discovered complet- ing his toilet, and waiting for his guests. TIIILL'-IZ30 o'clock, Saturday, P. M., in spring.

' ' Cook: Why how do you do, Cousin Minnie! I was just going down to meet you. It is too 'bad you had to come to my room alone. Minnie: It is all right, Homer: you are very busy and 'we do not wish to make you any trouble. Helen, dear, this is Cousin Homer. Cook: Happy to meet you, Miss Foster. This is your first visit to Oberlin. I be- lieve? 218 lrlelcnz Yes. I have often wished to wsu Oberlin and get a glimpse of college lite. The campus is so beautiful: it' is an ideal spot. Q ' Cook: Yes, it is pretty in the spring. and after you have rested we will go for a stroll. My pneumatic-tired run-aboutgot punctured yesterday and my man has not mended it yet. or I would take you out in that. But sit down, you must be tired. ' Minnie: Oh, what lovely college pillows. Homer, your room is decorated beautifully. Those banners and pictures are arranged in truly artistic style. I-Ie always did have such good taste, Helen. Helen.: Isn't that cozy corner a dear! Mr. Cook, you 'will pardon us if we look at your knick-knacks and souvenirs? It is all a part of our visit, you know. Cook: Certainly, ladies. and I shall be delighted to explain them to you. Helen: What is that odd thing up there with the lion on it?, Cook: That? Why, that is my ances- tral coat-of-arms. Helen: Oh. isn't that nice! What do the signs on it stand for? Cook: The lion stands for bravery, of course, and the motto is Latin and means- well-ahem-it means, Dead but not bur- ied, -no, that is not it-let me see-- Conv quered but still game, or something like that. Helen: What a lovely motto, Dead but still game! Your ancestors must have been very brave. Minnie: And Homer is just as brave, Helen. You ought to see him play foot- ball. He is the greatest draw-back on his team. That is what you play, isn't it, Ho- mer? Cook: Well, not exactly- Helen: Mr. Cook, what are those things on your coat-of-arms that look like little rows of biscuits? Cook: .Those? Why, those are-er- what they used to call bars sinister. My ancestors fought with long pikes or bars, like crow-bars, and they were very sinister weapons, so they represented them on their escutchcon. The history of these old relics is very interesting. i Minnie tfrom rearj: Oh, Homer, where did you get this beautiful picture frame? Did this girl make it herself? Cook: Yes, she painted that and gave it to me with her picture. Minnie: Painted it? Why, it is not painted at all, it looks like some kind of carved work. Cook: That is so. Yes, that was carved by the Pueblo Indians. I got it while trav- eling in Mexico. Minnie: I did not know you had ever been in Mexico. Cook: Oh, yes, I have been there and a great many other places. In fact, I have spent my vacations mainly in travel in Eu- rope, Asia and Egypt. Many of the things you see in my room are souvenirs of for- eign countries. Helen: Howigrand to have traveled so much, besides being a senior in college! You must be an exceedingly well educated young man, Mr. Cook. Minnie: Indeed he is, Helen, and he is one of the brightest men you ever saw-- Cook: Thank you, Minnie. You really embarrass me, and, I fear, are giving Miss Foster an exaggerated account of my abil- ities. Minnie: , No, I am not. Helen, you will think so too before you know him long.

Beecher: I can't make chocolate, and don't know anything about a chafing-dish. You will have to show me how it is run. 'Cookz Don't know how to work a chaf- ing-dish! Why, all you have to do is to put it together and light it, and there you aref Beecher: If you know so much about it, suppose you put it together and light it then. I am not going to monkey with a borrowed chafing-dish--er-excuse me, 1 mean with your chafing-dish-I might break it. Cook: Nonsense, go ahead and master its workings, man. I have to show the ladies the views of my European travels. Beecher: Your European travels? Say. when were you in Europe? I did not know you were ever outside the state. Cook: Young man, you know very well that I have visited Europe, Asia and Egypt. and also Mexico, South America and Alaska. Beecher: Excuse me, old man, excuse me. It was simply a lapse of memory on my part. Since you kindly mention the places, I remember just where you have been. ITO Minniel: Miss Rcider, will you help me make the chocolate? Helen: Have you any Welsh rabbits. Mr. Cook? I have always 'wanted to see one, and people with chafing-dishes always have them, don't they?

OM, the hired man, was helping Deacon VVishard plow in the east meadow. lt was nearly supper time when, looking up from his work, he saw a slender, girlish figure in a brown traveling dress get out of the depot carriage at the corner and walk down the short lane toward the house. He watched her curiously till she was greeted and led into the house by Mother Wisliartl. The Deacon saw her too, and said: That there is the college gal Dr. James wrote us about. She's sick or something. Did too much studying. l guess, but anyway he wants her to stay here a while and get well. 'Spect she's as stuck up as a peacock like all them college people. l tell you. l wouldn't have none of my children go to college and learn so much you couldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. The supper-horn stopped 'the Deacon from more comments on college people, and Tom led off the horses while he went toward the house. Lois Percy thought she must be dreaming and that it couldn't be really true that she had left all work and worry behind and had come out into the beautiful country to rest and get strong. She was too tired to enjoy much then, and soon went off to 'her quiet little room for the first night of real rest free from thoughts of math. problems and German poems. The country air seemed to give her new life already. , Mr. Wishard was sitting reading after supper, and Tom and Jim sat by the stove, for the evenings were still cool enough for a little blaze in the old air-tight. Tom, said the deacon, laying down his paper,i I take back all that l said about stuck-up-you know. -She seems like a real nice, likely-appearing gal. You and jim see that you tend up to her good. f'Yes, broke in Mrs. Wishard, father and il want her to have a good time, so you can leave your work any time to get her fiowers or anything. Uni, growled Jim: catch me. ' But Toni said: Thank you, sir. If she wants anything any time. just call on me. He hadn't seen her yet and was getting curious, for a visitor in the quiet farm house was something very rare. Next morning Lois wakenegl with the delightful sense of freedom and rest. She lay quietly listening to the stirring of life about her, but perfectly satisfied that she need not be in it. No recitations, no work for her, the doctor had said, and really it was much nicer than she had expected. The smell of coffee and breakfast roused her and a little later she came out to her first trial of country fare. She thought she had never tasted anything so good as the delicious break- fast. 224 All the morning she wandered about getting acquainted with her surround- ings and just before noon went down the road over the little bridge toward the meadow where Mother XfVishard had said there were heaps and heaps of early violets. lt was so warm and spring-like that she wore no hat, and the soft breeze blew the pretty, wavy brown hair about her cheeks, already a little less pale. She saw a young man approaching with a spade over his shoulder. He hadn't seen l1er and was striding along hunnning a song. One of the hired men, thought Lois, and took no more notice till he was just passing her, when, looking up, she caught his look of surprise, admiration and almost recognition. VVhy, Where have l seen that fellow before, she thought.. She puzzled over it all the way to the field: but when she found the violets she forgot about it in her joy over the pretty little iiowers. 'lfhe dinner-horn called her away, and, with her hands full, she made her way back to the house. ' At dinner the family was all together and Lois met them all, including Tom, but beyond a polite bow at the introduction, nothing was said which would give any clue about him. Lois resolved, however, to ask Mr-s. VVishard about him, for he seemed so different from the others, and she still had that feeling of having known him before in other circumstances. The days went rapidly by and with them came strength and health to Lois. She began to long for some long tramps in the woods, and was thinking already of going back to work. She had asked about Tom, but had learned nothing. except that he was a stray who had come to the door for work during the busy season, and, since he was honest and reliable, had stayed ever since. .l've tried my best, said Mrs. VVishard, to get him to talk and tell me about himself, but he is as mum as a clam. All l know is that he gets letters about once in so often, though il never see him answer them. He has books, too, in strange languages- Latin, l guess, but I never was any hand for books. My llible and l'ilgrim's l'rogress are enough for me. lle buys a book every little while, and that's all the money he spends. Lois had about decided that he was an ambitious youth perhaps trying to be self-educated, but she couldn't account for her strange feeling of having known him. He can't he one of the fellows that l met at college. lle must look like some friend of mine, that is all, she thought. At dinner the deacon announced, Tom and 'l are going up to l-llue Moun- tain to-day after some sand. 1-lm was Lois' opportunity for some sort of a lark. O, please, sir, can't l go too? l will take a cushion and sit in the back part of the cart and not get in the way. VVhy, yes. lf mother thinks you had better l'm sure l don't care, only its awful rough riding and we shall be gone till dark, the farmer replied. Oh, l'm strong enough now, and l want to see lllue Mountain so much before l go, said Lois. VVell, get your hat and come along. Tom is harnessing now, he answered. A little later, with shawl and cushion, she was sitting in the jolting cart 225 enjoying herself immensely. They all talked gaily, but soon the farmer rather dropped behind and the two young folks chatted pleasantly together and looked at the view below them as they climbed higher and higher. It reminds me of the descriptions in 'Immensee' that I read last year at collegef' 'Lois remarked. Yes, so it does, he answered. That was one of my favorite short stories. Lois forget to wonder then how the hired man had read German, but she remembered it later and asked him where and when he had read it. He colored and evaded the question, and the subject was changed. Well, if he isnit the strangest man I ever saw, she thought. There is some mystery somewhere and I wish I could find out. XVhen at last they came to the gravel pit and sand heaps, Tom began work at once, and while the deacon went off to look at his wood lots, Lois wandered about, searching for Flowers or leaves, always trying to keep the cart in sight, for it was a lonely, deserted sort of a place, way up on the side of the mountain. Pretty soon she saw a clump of particularly bright fiowers at a little distance. She went to them and found them a new sort of Hower, which would make a great addition to her collection. She became so interested that it was a long time before she remembered the cart, and, turning to look for it, found she had wan- dered out of sight. She walked first in one direction and then another before she realized that she was lost on Blue Mountain, and probably getting farther away all the time from the sand heap and cart. Then she sat down to think. She was a sensible girl. but her nerves were not yet strong from her illness, so that, her head was swimming and she was completely exhausted. She began to shout, but her voice did not carry very far, and she soon gave it up. She tried to remem'ber which way they had been traveling from the sun, but she couldn't tell. lt was agony to sit there and do nothing. She must be moving. even at the risk of get- ting farther into the woods and away from help. After what seemed ages and miles of walking she again gave it up and sat down on a fallen log to reHect. Every sound in the still, dense forest made her start with fright, while visions of bears and wolves fiitted through her mind. Tt was getting late, and the thought of spending the night alone on Blue Mountain made her shiver with fear. All at oncetshe thought she heard a call. She stood up and shouted again and again as loud as she could. There was no response, so she began walking again, this time going in the direction from which she thought she had heard the call. It was almost dark now. What would Farmer Wisliarcl do? Woiilfl he start a search party, and would Tom hunt for her? But why should she be thinking of Tom? She was wandering along aimlessly now, just for the sake of keeping in motion. Suddenly she heard a crackling noise behind her, and, too frightened to speak, she started forward, about to try to run, when a giddiness came over her and everything looked black and began to swim. 226 She knew no more till she found herself lying on the ground with Tom bend- ing over her, fanning her with his hat and bathing her face with the water from a little brook to which he 'had carried her. Ashamed of her weakness, she tried to explain and get to 'her feet, but with the authority of a doctor Tom bade her lie quiet and not talk. Then he took her slight figure in his strong arms and strode off with her. She seemed to faint again, for she remembered but little more till they reached the cart, and, in fact, were home again. Mother Wishard took her in charge and tended her until her overwrought feelings were quiet and she had fallen asleep. For several days the shock which she had undergone kept her confined in her room, but the Hrst day that she felt strong again she sought out Tom, as he was digging in the garden. She thanked him so cordially for his kindness that he began to warm up a little and tell how he had hunted and called that night on Blue Mountain till he had come upon her and she had fainted. She asked him how he knew what to do, and he in a burst of confidence let out his secret. I'd like to tell you, for you seem to see through it, he said. But first, don't you know me? I! Why, ever since I first saw you, she said, I have been trying my best to recall some friend you looked like, or of having met you somewhere, but I ean't remember you. Don't you remember when you used to live in Charleston before you moved to VVarren? You were only a little girl, but have you forgotten I-Iugh Green, your old sweetheart, that used to bring you violets so much and 'hang May 'bas- kets ? Tom replied. Why, when I met you on the bridge I knew you at once, but didn't want to give myself awayg and when I saw you come ho1ne with the violets, my flowers, you used to call them, I could hardly contain myself. Why, of course, Hugh. I-Iow could I have fOI'g'OttCll you P said Lois. lt all comes back now as plain as day. Didn't we used to have fun together, we two silly little tots? But how do you come to be here? I thought I heard that you went to Dartmouth Medical. . Well, I didg but you know how strict they all are at home. It is the same narrow little country village, and they think things we fellows at the medical do are mortal, unpardonable sins. Well, I confess I got a little wild, and the truth is, he said, hanging his head, I was expelled and notification sent to father. Father is very quick tempered, and without even showing it to mother, he wrote me a letter, denouncing me and telling me never to come to Charleston again. for a fellow that drank was no son of his, and so ong you know how it would be. What could I do? I had just been reading about a man who went off disguised as a tramp to try the life: so I thought of being a hired man till father's anger cooled. I knew farming, having been 'brought up on a farm, and so I tramped around till I came here. Mother writes me, but there seems but little sign of 227 father forgiving me, he feels so disgraced: yet hc is co1ning around all right, and probably it will come out straight again some day. But you aren't going to keep on staying here all the time. are you? asked Lois. Oh, no! l have been studying a little and trying to keep up in the work somewhat. Then I have turned over a leaf and mean to try to get back next year on my own money and make something of myself in spite of father. I'-le will have to respect me and take me back when l have become a famous doctor in some little country town: don't you think so ? That night, as Lois was retiring, Mother XVishard brought in a hugh bunch of violets and said: Tom wanted me to give yon these, though what you want of any more flowers in your room is more than ,l know. Thank you, said Lois, burying her face in the sweet llowers. Hidden among the leaves was a tiny note with just these words: May I still be your sweetheart, Lois ? Hclcn Chute.

A girl whose gentle beauty wore A touch of pain, whose thoughtful eyes Were clouded o'er like summer skies, Sat by the sea and listless scanned The limpid waves that lapped upon the sand. And in her hands were flowers fair. Bluebell and primrose and fern were there. A little wreath she deftly wrought But as her slender finger plied, Her wistful eyes would ever gaze Out on the water's glistening maze But found not what they sought. She bound her locks with the garland fair, And the salt sea breeze As it moaned in the trees Mingled the flowers with her golden hair And the golden sun to do his share Shone on the beautiful maiden there. And as she looked, she softly sang To the shimmering crystal sea, And the ripple and plash of the foaming wave As its waters the golden sea-beach lave joined in her minstrelsy. I And this was the burden of her song-- Lonely and said I wander here For my lover is over the sea. He's all that my lonely soul holds dear, And my faint heart throbs with the awful fear That he'll never come back to me. ' I fear that he rests mid the coral deeps Of the wide and roaring sea And only this poor lover weeps For the lad that was good to nie. And I will lie on the grassy hill, Where the winds do blow, And the flowers grow. And what is the difference when l know That beyond the skies in a better land We shall meet and wander hand in hand. :ir 2: ik :sz rk :k There's a little grave in a woodland On the brow of a grassy hill, And the salt sea breeze As it moans in the trees Fondles the flowers at will.

As long ago o'er Egypt's burning sands, There ruled the mighty Pharaolfs dread commands, Which forced to daily toil the servile crowd To rear the ponderous granites to the cloudy Or, as in Russia's convict mines afar, The serf toils at the bidding of 'his Czar, So here, in Oberlin, the faculty, Though bland and smiling, still like despots be: For tyrants tramp with equal galling heel When velvet-footed or when shod with steel. Upon the day of which we now relate, 'W hen met the faculty in solemn state, Their grim and silent looks bespoke at hand Some weighty matter for the pious band. - Deep silence fell on all those learned great, When Prexy rose and started to orate. Like some tall pine in Norway's mountain land, The valiant Prexy rose and took his stand. Olympian Zeus in envy well might sigh To hear that voice, to see that Hashing eye. My Sirs, the time is ripe, we now must actg We must be firm, our leniency retract! To chapel must the recreant students turn, Wlhen thither daily, we, their lords, adjourn. What! do they think our potent wills to balk, And foil us in our firm resolve to talk? Or can they thus in safety scorn our sway, And boldly 'cut' when we'Ve decreed to pray? Beginning on my right. let every man In turn arise and designate a plan Whereby to crush this evil branch and rootg The best shall have Chautauqua's famed salute. U 339 The l'1'ex sat downg and then did silence fall Upon those seers, as once in llabylon's hall lt fell upon the Chaldees ranged around, Vldhen bade t1he'king's strange vision to expound. Then did they tremble, shuftle, and look wise. And vainly pray a Daniel might arise: The quaking Nestors seated on the right Looked towards the door and vaguely thought of flight Prof. Caskey, first, that ever ready man, Dean of the crew, arose to show his plan: Let's try, he said, with kindly beaming face, A varied scheme to lure them to the place: For not by force. but use of craft we rule. Supreme among the interests of the school. Then let each member try his skillful art To melt the headstrong student's willful heart: Let Jewett tempt them with his jocund words, Lynds Jones amuse them with the call of birdsg Let Rice sing songs, or King his lore impart, Or Madame trance with-views of dusty art: Let Root explain the 'over-flowing headf Or Mae extol the joys of those who wedg Or, if they groan and love not marriage vows. Let Andregg tell about his father's cows. Let Hall show forth how much the ancients knew, Or Peck explain his game of forty-two: Let VVightman try in foreign tongues to speak, Or Martin show his pictures of the Greek: Let Grover adve1'tise the syndicate, That runs the place where students used to skateg Miskovsky dwell on a religious themc. Or Jones incite them to 'support the team 1' Let l rexy talk of sights in other lands, Of what he did on lndia's desert sands: Nor would I be left clean out of the game, lint in my turn V11 practice to deelaim. 'Thus should we win our point by craft and wile. 'Thus mask our hidden purpose with a smile. ci ix sl ti u .- Ai -- at -A u ru it K- i S Then from the throng a mighty outcry rose. With one accord all did this plan oppose. The Prexy once again assumed command, Wlio thus addressed the now discordant band: T never can nor will this plan approve! 'Tis force we want, we've had enough of love. Now listen, while to you I brieHy cite The only way to set this matter right! In classes let us make this horde divide 240 And for each one a certain seat provide. While you as monitors will nose around- In case, perchance, some might be absent found. Nor would I disapprove our Caskeyls wit: By craft we'll make our innovation fitg We'll first exhort them to the meeting place, Then I'll arise and meet them face to face, To show them plainly what we here have planned That we still rule them with an iron hand. Then King may rise their murmurings to still- F or even doctors sugar-coat a pill- His time-worn phrase he well may then disclose, That 'larger freedoms larger cares impose,' That 'character is built by self-controlg' 'Obeying laws means freedom to the soul g' Though ever careful not to specify ln just what points these added 'freedoms' lie. And thus, by artful words, Professor King Can soften down and palliate the thing. The wily sages now with one accord Did shout huzzas and cheer their noble lord: The plan had pleased them from the very start. For it was rigor honeyed o'er with art. Thus do we see the way our school is run, For so it was agreed, and so 'twas done. O Vllisdom, mayest thou ever more abide ln these great minds, with Cunning by thy side! May Force and Craft but common helpmates be: The Tyrant taught to know sagacity. And for the future may there live to rule As fit a band as now sways o'er the school! And may they more this double power win, And blessings bring to dear old Oberlin. 241 THE HI-O-HI AND THE EXPURGATION COMMITTEE an J- f -4 .. fr J J E L4 ax E: 4 - 'BIQHQF E W ww--1-:E M m hwwn 1 v, ' X x iff!

My Dear Mamma :--How I wish I could get home to tell you all that is happening. Grace and I are together constantly. The boys at Morrison's thought they had quite a joke on me the other day. I dropped in for a moment after breakfast, but Grace hadnit come down yet-so the maid said, anyway. But that wasn't as bad on me as something that happened last Saturday. Hardly anyone knows about this, though. Grace and I were going down to the rink to skate but she couldn't go till two, so I thought I would go down with one of the other girls for a while. I didn't suppose this girl would care to stay but a half hour or so, and I started out and skated good and fast so that she would get tired before very long and want to quit. But she turned out to be a pretty good skater and didn't have any idea of quitting. About half past two we sat down for a change-so she said--but I didn't see it for a minute or two. Finally one of the fellows came up and asked her for a skate. I cut. It doesn't pay to go with first one girl and then another--that is to be my last experience. I know you will be glad. Very lovingly your son, DALE MCMILLEN. I My Dearest Charles :-It has been too lonesome for any thing this term, in fact, I am j-ust trying to exist until the spring, but I find it pretty 'hard to do even that.

Out of unpromising conditions A 'b , have they evolved,-and they show it. Their forerun- . ners were theolognes of all kinds and sizes, and what 1 better outcome could have been expected? ln vain J- -does the Scoundrel strive to free himself from the her- X' itage of the past, it lingers on and is manifested even , , in the construction of the building. For example, the Q- Juv, cosy fireplace originally in each room had to be bricked ' ': up to keep the theologucs from smoking up the flue. gg I wg To keep' them from roving. about too much and from A 'Two continuous rough house,' all hall stairways were built separate, and now to reach another part of the hall an amount of climbing is necessary. These things might have been necessary for the original denizens, but for the Scoundrel they are only an aggravation. The surviving species is still hampered by the old enviromnent. The Scoundrels are a mixed lot. There are men and cads who are Scoundrels proper and the theologues who are improper Scoun- drels. These last may be dismissed with Z1 , 'TJ few words. They, too, are mixed, in per- affix 5, sonnel as well as in belief. The ordinary theologue is a good fellow with harmless in- tentions and is too well known to need de- scription. The inmate of the Slavic depart- '-M I Eli 54 Wil x F .aiaszs ment is not so well known to outsiders for he TN- if lr - l is seldom heard from. Except for free 'L -T ' Ti ll ,.., . ' fights in their rooms, a few squeaking iiddles f and an old organ or two, they also do not X K, px bocvm' T' figure as disturbing elements and are harm- V ' 268 less. On occasions of especial revelry or stag dances by the Scoundrels, they may be seen looking on from the distance with nndisguised awe and amazement. The Scoundrels proper are quite distinct from these quieter, non-aggressive species. They are a heterogeneous lot, however, anel no normal type can be dr scribed. They range from Seniors dow diest of cads anel come from most everywhere on the n to the ead lg , hLT,g,, a 7 f ' continent. Perhaps the best mark by which the Scoun i drel is distinguished from his fellows is his versatility ill, l and in no particular is this more apparent than in il music. l'here is doubtless l1lOl'C music in .Scounehel an I I lm I Hall to the square inch than there ever was in Wainti IW 1 'W lull l - Hall.

Edited bv the, class of lQO2. This is a compilation of the best features from the columns of the same name in the college periodical. Wliile it is the result of indefatigable efforts on the part of the editors, it is not limited to their personal observations alone, but is the result of scores of practiced observers in every field of college life. No student can afford to pass his college course without having this valuable little book for his constant companion. . Ill. Classic Wit. ' This is a companion book of the above, and is a collection of jokes, anecdotes and pat sayings culled from the marginal references of the Professors' private copies of class texts. , The compiler is one who by accident has had to repeat certain courses and, noting the similarity of jokes and funny stories, obtained access to the private libraries of the Professors. In many flattering press notes the editor has been thanked for gleaning these gems of thought for the general public, and no one with social inclinations can afford not to avail himself of the help that he may receive from this valuable volume. Also students intending to elect courses covered by references in Classic Wit will be able to prepare laughs for the right time by perusal of the work. III. .S'molee and the Fire. This is a rather technical treatise on the causes and effects of smoke. VVhile a little vague for general reading, those interested cannot afford to be without the information which this book contains. A special chapter is devoted to varie- ties of smoke, and accompanying advantages, or the reverse. IV. Why I came to Ol1c1'li1L-And Why I lcfff' This little booklet is written after the style of '4Studies of the Under VVorld, and throws a valuable light on a rarely seen phase of college life. Statistics are appended which show the number of students who prefer, in spite of standing offers in banks and elsewhere, to complete the required course. The author is a recognized authority on the subject and the book is interesting in every detail. V. Nights with cz Paint B1'u.vl1. ' Hy One of the Knights. A book of absorbing interest. lt is full of illustrations and anecdotes, which at the same time keep the reader's attention fixed and show the author's unpar- alleled versatility. VI. 'fAccic0cnts of thc Cl1asc'. By one who has troubles of his own. This book, by one whose style is usually heavy, but who has overcome this difficulty admirably, should be read to be appreciated. The reviewers pen can not do justice to it. 279 SPECIMEN PAGE FROM THE LEOPARD'S SPOTS3' The following chart, representing one month of faculty chapel attendance, is given to show the helpful and thorough way in which this valuable book has been edited. 3 5 Q 'N f gl ' . 'ig E illfflegfig 1.sQ.i.l.iisElfisttlifitsfatrial?sill? fciitillili yi lc . It is but just to state that Prof. Caskey's position as Dean necessitated his presence at chapel daily. The frequent absences of l,1'CSlCl'C1'lt john 1-lenry Barrows were excused without comment by the faculty. He was out of town on nearly every oc- casion. Prof. VVager was also excused, for this record was taken the month that he was ill. The record of 'llVlosher,,' given above, is that of Billy, not of James Lemuel Drew Mosher, ,Instructor in Singing, etc. Attention is called to the case of the Curriers-a case of unparalleled pa- ternal oversight and lilial obedience. Prof. Bogart said that those evenings he wore a sweater he tried to be ab- sent as much as possible in spiritg but it was thought only just to Prof. Bogart to count them as cases of regular attendance. ln Dr. Luce's record correction has been made for all cases of tardiness. Prof. Jewett. as a member of the Junior class, kindly consented to co-operate with the other class members in keeping the record of 1902 beyond fault or blemish. The remainder of the faculty were excused at the trustees' meeting last year from attendance during 1900-1901. lt was thought hardly necessary to take time and space to reprint the list here, but it may be found in the college cata- logue, Appendix II. 280 VII. How to be Truly G1'accf1tl. By C. H. Birdseye. Vtlhile some think that the title implies a movement that is not followed throughout by the author, still a glance at the pages of the book will show its true worth. To say that the books are incredibly few which Zl.l'C even a whit better than it, is saying but half that should be said. VIII. Party Q'llCSll0llS in Obc1'l1'n. ..By a Class President. This is not a discussion of political but of social life. The author is the highest authority on such matters, and the book will prove an untold blessing to bashful members of any class in college. IX. How io Do lt. By Mr. QI. Ross Frampton, Esq. For a number of years the world almanac has been launched forth from the press room with no explanation to make its maze of valuable information available to the reading public. It is with the purpose of affording the theory, explanatory to this now well known statistical book, that the present publication is offered to the people of the United States. The work includes an inexhaustible mine of information on every subject in the world falmanacj and tells how to do anything, from a Professor to a class scrap. The ability of the author in preparing this book has allowed its publication at a marvelously low cost. Price, prepaid to any address, 30 cents. X. The Lcopa1'tl's Spots. l-ly the Official Spotter, with a suitable intro- duction. An interesting and valuable set of statistics, in tabular form, bearing on chapel seating. These statistics have been carefully and impartially compiled and show the situation at a glance. ,They include both students and faculty. See sample page, appended herewitlh for further information. XI. , College Legislation. With an introduction by the Dean. This popular little booklet scarce needs to be reviewed, as its fame is gener- ally known. This edition, however, is especially noteworthy, as it is revised up to date and has exhaustive notes, comments and emeudations by the members of the Glee Club. MORRISON'S.

It was near the end of the winter term and the first warm days seemed to put every one in good spirits. Mabel Morgan stood a little apart from the others, watching an exciting game of tag on the lawn before her. Isn't this an ideal evening, Miss Morgan ? said a voice behind her. Yes, answered Mabel coldly, without turning her eyes from the game. The newcomer shrugged his shoulders slightly, but he had learned before this that the field could not 'be deserted so easily as that. Suppose we walk around, he suggested. Oh, well, all right, answered Mabel reluctantly. 'tlt won't be but for a few minutes, 'for it is getting dangerously near the dark line. Dark line l growled Price, as they started down the front walk. VVhat do we care for that P Miss Mabel raised her eyebrows slightly. I'm sure, Mr. Price, I don't know what you care, but I-- ' D0u't you know what I care ? he broke in. How many times do you have to be told? Well, but you know I think that is all nonsense, she replied lightly. Let's talk about something else, or we'll quarrel, sure as fate. y But-I can't keep fro111 talking about it. I might as well add-let's sit down here on the steps. We can talk here all we want. Speaking of fsecluded spots,' you wouldn't call this one, would you? said Mabel, laughing. It's not the front porch, I know, but then, it's on the main line of march, so to speak. Who's that walking with Clara, I wonder PU she rat- tled on recklessly. It looks something like Teddy Markham. Hope he can make her listen to him, responded George gloomily, without looking up. Again Mabel raised her eyebrows scornfully, but her rapid flow of language seemed for the time to be checked. ' There followed a long and painful pause. Well, I don't hear much, though I'm listening. she ventured finally. It isn't because I haven't anything to say, answered George in a low voice. Really, Mabel, he went on, his voice growing lower and softer, what is it to be? Is it a dead cut next term, or shall we--- His words could no longer be distinguished. Only the low, monotonous tone of his voice could be heard, broken now and then by one higher, half impatient, half acquiescent. A few minutes later Clara and Markham came along the walk. They evidently had some great joke between them. The nearer they came the more they laughed, and it seemed almost as though they were laughing at the couple on the steps. What could it mean? That's real interesting, isn't it P Clara finally managed to say, sitting there having a confidential chat and Susie listening at the door there l The dining room door behind them went shut with a crash. Mabel and George jumped and looked at each other guiltily, too astonished and chagrined to speak. Clara and Markham went on their way, laughing and guying them until thev were out of si-ght. . ' In absolute silence, George and Mabel got up and walked away. while from the dining room the voice of Susie. as she set the tables for breakfast, came to them mockingly, just because she made them goo-goo eyes. 284.

To Hunk or not to flunkg that is the questiong Whether my noble mind should stand for all The toils and burdens of that Freshman Math. Or take up arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them? To die :-to sleep,- No moreg and, by a sleep, to say I end The headache, and the scores of awful Hunks That come to Freshmen-'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wisl1'd. To die-to sleep:- To sleep! l-'erchance to dream 3 ay, there's the rub For in the dreams that then may come of Math., That I have failed to work and so have Hunked, I'1l see my iinish. Right there's the thing That makes a fellow sorrow all his life. Why do I bear the toils and pains of Math.? The teacheris wrong. The proud man's contnmely When I but take exception to his word In some solution, or call down his Trig. For being too concise, when I well know The surest way to end my troubles is To get cold feet? Who'd stand for it, I say, To bone and sweat so hard to get this lVIath.? But that the dread of what will come next term- The fear of taking over that exam. And paying out a Hunk-puzzles the will And makes a fellow rather run his chance On what he has than try another term. Thus Hunking makes a coward of me now, And thus the native hue of resolution ls sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought Which I'm not used to having. And thus it is Due tolthis Math. that I go back to Caddom And lose the name of Freshman. Soft you, now! The noble Andy.--Prof. in thy orisons, Be all my Hunks remember'd. A FRESI-IMAN'S REPLY.

I-Iellof' ,said the l?rehistoric Man, stepping unannounced into the room where Jack llarnes, one of the editors of the Hi-O-Hi, sat scribbling away for dear life, what are you doing, writing for your annual? Yes, answered jack, I was tearing off a few yards: you know it goes to press soon and we are awfully short on 'literary' and 'grinds' Writing roasts on the faculty, l suppose P continued the visitor, who had deposited his war-club and 11100110 in a corner, and, after finding an easy position in a Morris chair, had loosened his sandal thongs. Like 'all children of nature, the Man was somewhat unconventional. Yes, confessed jack, the faculty are our old stand-bysg they're like the poor, you know, we always have them with us. I have always thought, remarked the Relic, assuming a superior air, that it is a burning shame the way you-students roast the faculty. Your cheek is some- thing appalling. It is a pity they don't get out an Annual and rub it in to you. l'd give a good ideal for the candid opinion of these Proofs. of the little lambs they coddle and pet, encourage and hold up high ideals' to. T think that you would faint if you could hear it. Did it ever occur to you that college students, as a rule, are made up large- lv of freaks P continued the Man, in a tone of increasing acidity. You're not feeling well this evening, are you P inquired Jack, solicitously, pretending to ignore the Man's implied challenge. Well, they are, dogmatized the Man, and bad ones too. For instance. take the pledge card freak, who inveigles you into signing away your income or possessions to support some worthy cause. Then, some day, when you are so busy you can't rest, honing out a lesson or shaving or something of that sort, you hear a modest 'tap-tap' on the door, and there is the official collector come for your subscription. Of course you have forgotten all about the card, and haven't a cent to your name because Papa hasn't sent your check yet. You try to put him off until the next time, or if he insists, as he usually does, you have to chase all over the house to find some one to borrow from, and most likely have to end by ask- ing a star theologue whom you never would even speak to before to loan it to you. Oh, it's nice! And your temper isn't much improved when the collector suggests that to save hi1n trouble you pay the whole year's subscription. Save him trouble! You hardly have to be told that this collector is a student. Passing over the various student enterprises which come in 'for their share of time and money, we turn to another evidence of the freakidze. You have bought your tickets, but don't ever think that lets you off: that is only the be- ginning. You must wait until you have gone to a 'sale of choices' to see the 301 meek and lowly spirit of the student manager in full bloom. 'lf there ever was a device in the category of the Spanish 'Inquisition that would compare with this 'sale of choices' for wringing money out of a suffering public-well, history fails to record it, that's all. The Man paused for breath. Oh, do go on. said jack, you are just getting well started, don't stop at that. Well, there are a few others, too numerous to mention, continued the Man, but what queers me is to think that you fellows, after squeezing all the money you can out of the faculty members this way, and after roasting them in your Annuals as if they had no feelings at all, go to them with a bland smile of self-assurance and actually have the nerve to ask them for recommendations.

Wliereas, Two from our number have already left the straight and narrow way of solitary blessedness, and are walking on the downward crooked path of prospective matrimony, which leads, no man knows whither, and which no sane man or woman ever enters, and from which few return in safety this side of Da- kota, and, Wliereas, The danger threatens us that their evil example will be followed by others, of the best and most learned among usp and Wliereas, It behooves every man and woman with the interest of himself and of his institution at heart, to do all in his power for the sake of his own fu- ture happiness and that of his friends, and to prevent, do away with, and cut short, any further spread of this dangerous infectiong Therefore, VVe, the undersigned, being in good standing, inhabitants of Lord Cottage for so much of the time as the rules and regulations of the insti- tution will allow, for the express purpose of counteracting without contracting the tendency introduced into our midst by the above mentioned and heretofore- spoken-of falling from grace, do hereby amalgamate, associate, join, and unite ourselves into the Sacred and Social Concatenated, Amalgamated Association for the Immediate and Unconditional Abolition, Annihilation, and Anathema- zation of all heretofore Enacted, Concocted or Otherwise Unavoided, Unsophis- 302 ticated College Dilemmas, and for the absolute Prevention and Avoidance of all such Errors in the future, which is to come hereafter, and in order to faithfully and unselfishly to serve the interests of this irreproachable and unattainable association, we do hereby subscribe our names to the following rules and regu- lations, by-laws and pledge: I. Every member shall do all in his power, singly or in companies of more than two, to discouragethose who have already wandered astray, and to con- vince them of the real unhappiness of their condition. II. Committees of two being' on their face, foreign and inimical to the avowed purpose of this association, every member pledges him or herself never to take part in meetings of committees of that nature, and in the interests of the accomplishment of above mentioned purpose, never to sit, ride, walk, talk, stand or eat in couples. III. That all subscribers to this constitution may at least themselves be safe, each member pledges him or herself to avoid all complication or combina- tion with others, in which matrimonial prospectivencss could be suspected or ex- pected.

Perhaps you think I love this lad, In sooth perhaps I do, Hut if I did, I'd not tell him, No, nor neither would I tell you That I loved David. TO ETHEL. I made my verses in the dark, And did not have to think. I made my lingers chase the pen, And my pen chase the ink, To my Valentine. I would perhaps more happy be If I would know but which Of many lads to be afraid, He, then, I 1n11st bewitch Or he'll get Ethel. I would the gods had given me Some valentinic skill, In Ethels' praise I'd sing for days Till volumes I had filled. In praise of Ethel. She has so many virtues fair, Her faults they're none to find, Hut you'd not care if faults were there, If she were your Valentine, For fair is Ethel. Perhaps you think I love this lass, ln sooth perhaps I dog Hut if I did, I'd not tell her, No, nor neither would I tell you That I loved Ethel. NOTICE TO READERS.

Likewise must the deacons be grave. not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. .

He stood upon the busy corner alone, an outcast and despised of all men. His face was haggard and worn with anxiety and care had left its wrinkles upon his forehead. In his hand he held a littleuslip of soiled paper. As the crowd surged by he accosted .one now and then with an appealing' look or with an en- trcating gesture of the hand, thrusting' the paper silently before the eyes of the passer-hy. But no movement was made to relieve his distress. Finally in despair he wandered on. Before long he spied a crowd gathered in some animated dis- cussion and, with a gleam of hope in his eye he slightly quickened his pace. En- tering the crowd he once more made his appeal, Some turned away impatientlyg some shook their fists angrily, while others looked on him with a regretfnl pity but sorrowfully shook their heads. At last in utter diseouragement he turned away and with slow and disconsolate step disappeared down the street. lt was the class treasurer. tix 'az 1 Q' ' N u is -v i wifi, I Il rf' X - 'V' I e x X 't I - . 42.5 ' -at ,-Q ' ' Av .

They know simply that after a journey over some railways a some- thing has made them tired and out of sorts. lt was the sag and lift of the train due to a poor roadbed 3 annoying side jolts from untrue gauging of the rails. lt takes time, money and plenty of good, hard work to make a good road- bed and tracks. lt requires ceaseless vigilance and care to maintain such condition. The most perfect roadbed and fin- est track adjustment in America is found on the Lake Shore 81 Michigan Southern Railway. This is a broad assertion, but one which actual conditions fully warrant. A good preventive for that tired feeling in traveling is to use the Lake Shore between Chicago, Cleve- land, Buffalo, New York, Boston and all other points east and west. The purchase of a ticket over the Lake Shore 6? Michigan Southern Ry., means that your IAWQQVTHQ investment covers the best in travel that KLAKES money can buy. , A. J. SMITH, Q G. P. ci' T.
