The older-an institution grows, the more it prizes every custom and tradition that it inherits from former generations, for on such customs and traditions depends the unity of its life. Olivet already has many such time-honored institutions. For half a century the college has been growing, and acquiring those things which make it itself. Still one can- not but feel that there is room for more customs in the college life, for more avenues of escape for college spirit and enthusiasm. And it is still more evident that the time for inaugurating such customs is the present, which, to every careful observer, surely marks the beginning of a new era in Olivet's history. Therefore it is with no misgivings as to the propriety of the time chosen for its first publication, that we offer you THE .OAIQSQ it is rather with a feeling that the auspicious moment of its appearance is an omen of success. ' As to the need of an Annual, we hope there is little question. KNQ: might argue that Olivet ought to have one because other progressive colleges have themg but that, after all, is not a final reason. Qlivet should have one because Olivetneeds one. It needs a publication more compre- hensive than the student paper, more full of the college spirit than the catalogue. It needs a publication that will be for the student a record really valuable of every phase of the college life. To the alumnus it will be a constant reminder of his own college days. To the world at large it will be a true representative of the college as it is, and may be of no little value in winning friends and students for the future. But in saying that the Annual is designed to furnish those things fur- nished neither by the college paper nor the catalogue, we do not mean that it is usurping any features of those publications, or that it is at all designed to take their place. On the contrary, it has to do with those things outside the province of either the Echo or the catalogue, and there- fore claims as its right a place of its own,-a place among the other col- lege institutions, that may be of equal honor with theirs. But all these claims will avail little if one thing be lacking,-and that is the interest of the student body. For that We make no plea in behalf of this particular Annual, we hope that it will be pleasing to you, and that for that reason you will want another g but we ask you that for the sake of the idea, for the sake of introducing an institution that is in every Way desirable, you will take an active interest in the Olivet Annual. The Sophomore Class has already shown its interest by considering an Annual for next year. VVhether the second volume will be published depends upon your reception of this. VVe feel confident that you Will not fail to give them your support. That which tempts us to such confidence is the interest shown in the Annual in the making. Many difficulties have confronted the editors, who have had no precedent to guide them, but they have never failed to find assistance,-assistance offered with a willingness that was itself a help. Students and Faculty deserve the deep gratitude of the junior Class for making the Annual of IQO7 a possibility. To Dr. Lancaster and to Mrs. Batchellor and the Art Department are due especial thanks for their assistance and encouragement. The cover design, which is un- signed, is the work of Miss Helen Long. VV e sincerely regret that the design for the Literary title page, by Miss Bess Comstock, was accidentally destroyed before an etching was made from it, and too late for her to make another copy. W7 e would speak here a word, too, on behalf of our adver- tisers, Who have made the Annual a financial possibility. Not only to repay them for their kindness, but to make the financiering of future An- nuals less difficult, we earnestly request you to patronize them. VVith this introduction and with this plea for its future, we respect- fully submit to you the first volume of THE OAKS of Olivet College. l TIiE EDITORS. THE FACULTY. ELLSVVORTH GAGE LANCASTER, Ph.

IQSO was drawing to a close: the old-fashioned clock on the mantel showed that in a few hours the new year would be ushered in. Out of doors the wind was whistling with that peculiar sound which makes one thankful for home, and the old gray-haired' man who sat before the wide lireplace was indeed thankful for warmth and shelter. His expression was one of reminiscent thoughtfulness and the smile which occasionally lighted up his face proved that his reveries were not unpleasant. As he sat thus, the door softly opened and a little girl of flve or six stole quietly across the room and placed her hands upon his knee. The smile on the olds mans face deepened as he gently lifted her up and asked, XVell, little fairy, wheat shall it be this time P Tell me a story, grandpa, a true one, with you in it. And after thinking a moment, grandpa began: Today I have been looking over the journals I kept at college, and scenes once familiar have been brought back vividly to my mind. The child nestled contentedly against his shoulder, and he continued: HOne Saturday afternoon in September, IQO3, fifty-eight students gathered in the chapel recitation room at Glivet and organized the class of ,O7. As is customary with college classes, we at once began to make plans for a party where we might all get acquainted and have a general good time. At college, you know, the Freshman and Sophomore classes are hostile to each other and try to break up these partiesg so we kept everything secret. XV hat a time we had that night! There were lots of good things to eat and quite a crowd of people outside who wanted to help eat them, too, but we dfdn't feel like letting them in. There was a scrap which lasted for about an hour and was fast and furious all the time, but at the end, only the class of 'o7 and a few invited guests partook of the pumpkin pie and cider. There were three more scraps that yearg two over class ban- ners, and the other at our next party. f'You mustn't think, though, that we did nothing but scrap. VV'e had a good Freshman oratorical contest, and in the college contest our orator won second place. It was also a member of our class who won the con- test in the spring. At baseball, we beat the Sophomores I8 to 6. Qf course the social function of the year was the Scipio banquet. This was a pleasant occasion, especially the attempt on the part of the janitor to throw hot water on some boys outside. Our first Sophomore party was held in the gymnasium. Again we had things our own way, and the Freshman boys who climbed the front porch were pulled in and tied up. VV e enjoyed our taffy immensely. At Halloween, our class instituted the Sophomore Barbecue and presented the knife, which has been handed down from year to year. A large bon- fire was built on the campus, and roast pork sandwiches were served to all comers. In February, the pennant put up for the winners of an inter- class indoor meet was carried away by 707, and it may still be seen in the college library. The next year our orators won first and second in the college contest, and second place in the State contest. At last we found ourselves Se- niors. The time had seemed short since we were Freshmen, and yet we felt a great improvement. Laying aside our dignity, we spent a day at the county fair and caught the spirit of the rustics in line shape. At this point grandpa noticed that his audience was fast asleep. W-fell, well, said he, fthis has been pretty dry, hasn't it? And he dropped once more into pleasant thoughts of the class sleigh-ride and of commencement week in 1907. I OWED TO 1907. VVhen 'o8 first came to college, They were model little Freshmen- Got their lessons, loved their teachers, Dug and delved, and worked and labored Kept each rule with utmost fervor, WV rote home often to their mothers, Sought improvement in their manners- W'ere, in short, most ideal students. Soon, the first excitement over, They began to look about them, Tried to emulate the example Of their older Sophomore brethren, Studied thought and word and action Of these older, wiser students, That they might, by imitation, Grow more good, sedate and learned. But alas! what disappointment, Wfhat sharp anguish, and what horror Tortured body, mind and feelings, VV hen they knew these Sophomores better' For, instead of being models, They apparently cared little About manners, rules, clnirch-going, Studying, and all such things, Little did the Sophomores realize All the force of their example, For the Freshmen followed after, Thinking that it must be proper. So, be all our sins of Flunking, Tardiness, and Jumping Chapel, Breaking Rules, and Riding Ponies, Owed to class of 1907! KS-A THE JUNIOR CLASS. OFFICERS. Fz'1'sf S011LI3SfC'7'. Second Sc1zzcste1'.

When '08 appeared on the Old college campus, it soon became evident that a new race and spirit were to dominate all the activities of college life from henceforth. And Well has 'O8 fulfilled the predictions of the seers of those early years. As Freshmen, We bore Ourselves with dignity and reserve, not conde- scending to many of the follies of our predecessors, and endured the taunts of upper classmen with haughty scorn. Increased respect was shown us when '08 Won the commencement Oratoricals and took a place in the earlier college contest. Though the year was passed without undue ex- citement, we were laying the solid foundation upon which the brilliancy of the future was to be built. The Scipio gave ample evidence that '08 was more than equal to all the trust placed in her. Sophomore year found us alert and ready to cope with ,o9, who from the beginning showed themselves of the usual common green, upstart variety. Not appreciating the originality of ,o8, they woke up one night to :the fact that the Sophomores were enjoying a beautiful autumn evening at the Lake, entirely unmolested. Those who ventured out at length were taught after the manner of froggies how to swim and dive, and proving apt pupils, they were rewarded by goodies at the bonfire and sent back to their waiting brothers and sisters in town. On. the night when ghostly spirits stalk abroad and witches beguile the lonely wanderer, the faces of 707 lost their anxious looks and became merry with the cheer which filled the college grove. The Barbecue inau- gurated by IO7 was destined, through the skilful management of 'oS, to become a permanent college institution. In this year's athletics we won glory, but not all the fruits of victory. To be magnanimous or not to be,-that was the question: VVhether ,twas nobler in the class to lose ' The turkey banquet due victorious Sophomores, Or to take arms against our friendly sister, And by some quarreling gain it ? The first course was agreed upon, and '06 gratefully accepted the tur- key. The Sophomore maids, not to be outdone by brother classmates, vanquished the Freshmen maids in the series of basket-ball games. So the year rolled on and ended, '08 winning again the commencement ora- toricals, with secret designs upon the future. Junior year found us depleted somewhat in numbers but with new classmates added, making one of the largest Junior classes in the history of the college. W'hat can better prove the superiority of 'o8,in her funior year than that she represented the college in the State oratoricals, and does not THE OAICS speak for itself? Into all phases of college life ,OS has given herself, heroes for the ath- letic field, orators for all college contests, members to the Glee and Treble Clef clubs, until our perplexed psychology professor muses dazedly to himself: 'fCan I be wrong in my theory? How can students so short of stature carry all they know ? Perhaps he has overlooked the fact that 'o8 entered college under the propitious influence of two Scipios, and one of these is still the totem of the class to lead it on to still greater achieve- ments in the future. s k P 1? r- NAUGHTY NINE DFIES :Sm '14 mn-O i...,.

At the organization of the class of ,OQ, the ingenious Mr. B. Dodds was chosen president. Forthiwith our then Freshman class decided to give a party in the college gymnasium. The enthusiastic but misguided Sophomores attempted to interfere with the progress of the party, resort- ing to the diabolical expedient of burning sulphur by pailfuls, in the effort to create a smudge dense enough to drive us out. Sulphurous fumes seeped through the Hoor and walls of the edifice, but we did not withv draw. A hand-to-hand conflict later ensued, which called forth the efforts of the dean to put it down. The besiegers were peremptorily ordered away and left the Freshmen in peace. The anti-sophomoric spirit thus aroused 'first expressed itself in an attack on the Sophomores while giving a party at the lake. The Sopho- more president, Mr. Ashby, appeared on the dock at the lakels edge. From out of the darkness a form hurled itself against the slender class presi- dent. It proved to be the Freshman president. Thle two class presidents clinched, and both went off into the water. The Freshmen, having accom- plislied their object, beat a hasty retreat with a number of Sophomores in pursuit. The Freshman president, hard pressed, followed the instinct in- herited from his simian ancestry, and exhibited astonishing dexterity in climbing a tree. In the darkness he was not discovered, and vengeance on the Sophomores was obtained. A proof that the class of '09 is eminent in other ways than class scraps is to be seen in the library. Conspicuous on the wall hangs a large ban- ner, a trophy of the indoor meet of the winter of IQO6, in which all college classes contended with each other in the effort to prove athletic suprem- acy. A basket-ball game was played, in addition to the regular indoor events. This fall, when we happily began our second relay in the quadrennial pursuit of knowledge, the importance of Sophomores attached to us, and we assumed a little additional dignity. The genial Mr. Heber Stout was chosen pr-esident. Yery soon we made arrangements for a party at the lake. The Freshmen learned of this, and, on the night, made an attack. Thereupon the Sophomores used their best powers of persuasion to induce the reluctant Freshmen to taste the delights of chasing tadpoles by moon- light in the oozy depths of Pine Lake. Some Sophomores even joined in the merriment. These aquatic exercises over, the Freshmen were invited to watermelon. At dawn, a few weeks later, the ensign of the Freshmen was seen, fastened to a wire stretched across the street, from which position it Haunted itself in the eyes of all Sophomores. A rush was made, and the Freshmen valiantly defended their precious Hag, wlven, after many futile attempts by others, Gloomy Chrisman proved the hero of the hour by climbing a telephone pole and sliding out on the wire till he reached and lowered the flag. Then ensued a furious struggle for the possession of the banner. Both sides, panting, held on, and neither had the advantage. Finally, at the president's instance, a truce was made and hands counted. The result of the count was a tie. The victory, therefore, technically was the Sophsg for the banner should have been divided. The Sophomore girls who, in a circle, witnessed the valorous deeds of their brother classmates, generously treated the Sophomore boys to an oyster supper, and thereby won their lasting gratitude. The barbecue given by the class of '07 on Halloween was unique. The ingenuity of our versatile Mr. Paddy Brown conceived the idea of having a Macbeth witch scene, in connection with the barbecue. :Xc- cordingly all Sophomores procured high-peaked hats and dark gowns. and, as they circled around the witches' cauldron, gave a picturesque effect. After the little play given here was concluded, roast pork sandwiches were served, and then the barbecue adjourned to the college gymnasium. There fortune-tellers and various kinds of sideshows made time pass pleasantly till the minstrel troupe concluded the entertainment with a mirth-pro- voking program. - ' V , I . .

VVith September, a new element invaded the quiet of Olivet. There was a sudden influx of youths and maidens Who, led by a common pur- pose, sought its fulnlment in a new home beneath the shadowy oaks. THE INVADERS. A A motley throng it seemed at First, its members u11ited only by their common aim. They could but watch, open-eyed, the new life about them, and endeavor to adjust themselves to the new conditions. U NIFICATION. Yet, in spite of seemingly incongruous elements, a common need drew these various individuals together. For they found that they might not too easily obtain certain rights thley deemed their own. No sooner had they, by instituting a feast, shown their desire for a closer union, than that band of Olivet dwellers known as Sophomores were aroused to hostile action. And when the newcomers Organized them- selves into a self-governing body, took their stand as Freshmen and hung their banner aloft, the Sophomores strove to tear down the banner. THE BATTLE FOR THE BANNER, ocr., 1906. Then a mighty battle was fought, a fierce struggle which only the higher powers could bring to an end. It was on this field that the new- comers proved their Fitness to survive as an honorable division of the in- habitants of Qlivet. A CONDITION OP 'II-IE PEOPLE. Henceforward, since they had so bravely won their rights, the Fresh- men stood in an established position, and, free from hostile attacks, could follow the paths of peace. They chose themselves leaders from among their number-first, one called Hike, and afterward, one VVings, brave chieftains both, whose very names are symbolical of rapid progress and swift upward flight. And the powers looked down favorably upon the Freshmen, bestowing signs of their appreciation of the fact that this was an extraordinary class-the best, in fact, it had ever been their good for- tune to work with. PROGRESS AND INTELLECTUAL GRONVTH. Times of peace and intellectual growth are the outwardly uneventful periods, not the history-making epoehs in the life of a people. It but re- mains to describe briefly the growth and character of the band. ln all branches of life they showed the adaptability, the Versatility and the underlying strength that make great achievement possible. Pow- erful athletes have shown by their courage and vigor how effectually they might defend a great cause. Qrators have arisen, who in greater crises could arouse the fires of patriotism. Poets have felt the necessity of giving expression in song to the spirit of the class. And in art, in music, who shall say what bright lights will some day shine out? And how have they entered into the life of their new hlome and adapted themselves to every need and' custom! How readily have they discerned every available means of avoiding unnecessary labor! How quickly their light hiearts have learned to rejoice in simple pleasures-the lake, the moonlight walks, two by two, the consumption of pie! Their faults? They are but those of the youthful and immature, mis- taken attempts to follow the example of those who should be far wiser than they. XV ith the capacity for development thus far shown, what may not be the significance for the future of this young band? Even now their influence hovers cheerfully within the gloom of confining walls, or ten- derly in the sunshine and shadow of the pleasant paths and by-ways. Here the account ends. May the succeeding chapters evidence the fulfilment of the promise shadowed forth by so auspicious a beginning! lc: vm THE PREPAR, my THE PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT. The Preparatory Department of Qlivet College, after an existence of many years, will soon be but a tradition. This is by no means to be called a failureg the department is outgrown. When it was founded, there were many students who needed thie preparation there. Since then the public schools of the State have been growing until the place once filled by the Preparatory Department is now occupied, by the well-equipped high schools, which are open to every one desiring an education. Therefore the authorities have deemed' it best to discontinue the department, begin- ning with this year. The class that entered this year will be given oppor- tunity to graduate, and for their benefit, full work will be possible under the usual instructors for three years, but during that time no new class will be admitted, and in IQIO the whole department will be abandoned. In the meantime, this branchi of the college is very much alive, and shows a determination tomake the most of what life remains to it. In scholarship, in athletics and in all phases of Olivet life, its members hold their own, and lay a foundation for their college course that makes them tlze leaders among their fellow-students.

During the years which have elapsed since the last Annual was sent forth, many changes have come to all the departments of the college. Ideals in education have been rapidly changing. lVe have learned that real education comes through many channels. Emerson says, All are needed by each one, nothing is fair or good alone. And thus the world has come to demand that art instruction shall have its place in the great system of education. So in this college curriculum, art has been given a legitimate place. ' VVe have desired to keep in touch with, and as far as possible put in practice, the larger ideals of the more advanced art schools. To fulfill its proper mission in life and education, both the industrial and :esthetic sides of art must be cultivated, the drawing classes serving the former pur- pose and the classes in History of Art, Design and Wlater Color, the latter. We realize that we have fallen far short in our attempts to estab- lish the proper system of art education, but we feel that in presenting to the public the illustrations of this Animal We have at least given evidence of our earnest desires and of the ability of some of the m'embers of the department. Environments grow familiar, and in a sense become dear, through con- stant associations, and so the old studio in Parsons Hall will always bring back pleasant memoriestto those who have spent many hours within its dingy walls. To some of us there comes a Utopian vision of what the ideal studio ought to be, and each one breathes the hope that as Glivet College develops into broader work in all its departments, so may the time come when this delightful branch of college life will be suitably housed and equipped to do higher and broader work.

The Olivet Conservatory of Music is one of the most important fea- tures of the college. There thorough instruction is given under com- petent men and Women, who stand high among those engaged in such work. ' Not only, however, is careful instruction offered to its students, but it also affords them opportunity to hear lectures and recitals from impor- tant members of the musical world, and to have the benefit of careful criti- cism in the society, the Musical Guild, which is given entirely to the training of Conservatory students to the fullest expression. In the social life of Qlivet, no distinction is made between college and conservatory students. The whole student body is a unit, and works to- gether for the greatest good and happiness of all.

The Alumni Association may rightly be called one of the most impor- tant college organizations. Through it the institution becomes best known in the outside world, and by it, the world judges the college whence it springs. Even when given this important place, Olivet has no reason to be ashamed of its Alumni Association. Among its members are men and women who rank first in every profession and walk of life-men and women with a purpose, and the will to seek its realization. Of such rep- resentatives Olivet College has reason to be proud, and an organization that claims them as members deserves a place of high honor. But our Alumni are interested not only in matters outside the college 5 every part of the student body has some reason for gratitude toward them. The societies, especially, realize how great their interest is in any- thing concerning Olivet, and the foot-ball team of 1906 has good reason to remember them. VVe'have only to urge more frequent visits to their Alma Mater, and a larger attendance at the animal reunions. Wfe wish that this Commencement might be remarkable for the large attendance of former students, and that many class reunions might be possible. Such an attendance would not only be a pleasure, but a source of inspiration to the whole student body. 3-Ri' r ri. I - -.

The object of the organization is social, and the aini has always been the cultivation of loyalty and friendship of its menibers. The spirit of unaniniity and harinony which is so characteristic a feature of the society has been niade possible by the sniall menibership. The society has always maintained a high inoral and intellectual standard. ' THE OLIVET CHEMISTRY CLUB. The Olivet College Chemistry Club was organized in September, 1905. It is composed of those students of the Chemistry Department who are doing work beyond the first year.' The department has been reorganized, built up and broadened by the untiring effort and efficient management of Prof. Leavenworth, until it is now possible for any student to pursue some branch of chemistry throughout his entire college course. The purpose ofthe club is to promote interest in the subject of chem- istry and to afford instruction along technical and other lines. Meetings are held monthly, in which the members give carefully prepared papers of interest and instruction on various subjects. This gives opportunity for individual research and investigation, the benefit of which is shared by all the members. The following subjects are among those which have been recently discussed: Denaturalized Alcoholf' f'Manufacture of Beet Sugar, and nlilectrolysisf' That the members fully appreciate the social and intellectual advan- tages afforded by the club, has been shown by the hearty co-operation of all, which has made it a success in every way.

The Soronian Society was founded October 14, 1847, Linder the name of the Young Ladies' Literary Society, taking its present name january 26, 1368. From that beginning the association of a few girls for literary improvement, has gradually and naturally evolved, growing slowly and surely in numbers and strength. V The need of a second ladies! literary society here in Olivet has been felt for several years, and now that the step has been taken and another society formed, we are glad to extend to her a cordial welcome. Y This past year has marked an epoch in our history. The Soronians, in giving their public, broke away from the time-honored program of orations and declamations, presenting a drama as a sample of the literary talent existing in the society. Enthusiasm over the proposed new hall has been running high. A donation party was given in january, and many things presented which will be very appropriate in the hall. An inquiry into the state of the build- ing fund reveals the interesting fact that almost the entire amount neces- sary to begin to build has been paid in, and pledges made, payable in the near future. So, sooner than we may think, the Soronian Hall will be a substantial reality and not a cherished air-castle. Q91 'f ' QESELXA. .' LQ wtf , , .

Several times during the past few years the matter of another literary society among the women of Olivet College has been discussed, but no definite action has been taken until this year. To meet the existing need for another organization of this sort, the Sigma Beta Society was organ- ized .Ianuary 18, 1907. The aims and work of the society are similar to those of like organiza- tions in Olivet. In general, the purpose is the all-round development of its members in the cultivation of a true and noble womanhood. The programs for the weekly meetings are of a literary nature, in- cluding essays, declamations, book reviews, debates, and some work in current events. The literary sessions are public. ' At present, Sigma Beta is without a home, but it is hoped that by another year some provision for rooms can be made. The majority of the meetings this year have been held in the chapel. The society appreciates the interest and good-will which has been so universally expressed, and- is seeking to prove itself worthy of its place among its brother and sister organizations who are working not alone for their own good, but for the greater good of the college which unites all.

The Phi Alpha Pi Fraternity, founded in 1847, when Olivet was still an Institute, was made a permanent organization under the present name in 1861, two years after Olivet became a chartered College. ' The Phi Alpha Pi Fraternity embodies more than a literary society. lt has always had a twofold purpose, the attainment of literary culture and parliamentary discipline, and, as signified by the name, Fraternity, the development of a true, manly fellowship which unites all in a firm brotherhood. Abiding by such a purpose, the organization has established a high standard of intellectual work and has developed a spirit of Friend- ship, Truth and Progress that is a rich endowment for one going out from its walls. lt The annals of the past are inspiring. lnterwoven in the history of the college are the accounts of the Fraternityis successes in all lines of college activities. ln considering the work of the past year, it cannot be said that the Fraternity has fallen below the standard. The membership now numbers forty-six, ten of whom were initiated this year. The lit- erary work has been of exceptional quality and interest. The forty-hfth annual Public was one of the best ever presented. The Fraternity is justly more than proud of its athletic and oratorical records of the year. W'ithin the organization, every side of society life is in a healthy condi- tion. From the annals and traditions of the past, from the present mem- bership and spirit, there is every reason to expect a future for the Phi Alpha Pi Fraternity still more splendid than the past.

The Adelphic Society, founded in 1862, lived and grew in the upper rooms of Parsons Hall. But its spirit of progress would not allow a long dwelling in two small rooms, and so it constructed for itself the beau- tiful building in which its meetings are now held. The purpose of the society is to send out men well rounded morally, intellectually and socially, and to accomplish this end it holds meetings each Friday evening. The open literary sessions prepare the men for public speaking, while the executive sessions train them in the real parlia- mentary Work. To realize more fully its purpose, the membership is lim- ited, making the society a body of friends rather than an organization for merely literary work. The motto, Semper Fidelisf' shows the ideal of the society to be friendship and brotherly feeling, every man loving the society and striving for itsfupbuilding and perfection. For the typical Adelphic no sacrifice is too great for his society. The past year has been particularly characterized by this idealg open- ing the fall term with but fifteen men from a membership of thirty-five, it has more than doubled its number, put on strong programs and placed itself in a position financially and otherwise rarely attained by an organi- zation of its nature. Money has been pledged with which not only all out- standing debts may be paid, but the hall may be materially improved. The prospect is indeed bright. THE MUSICAL GUILD. The Musical Guild was organized December 6, 1888, beginning its work with the winter term of 1889. Its charter members numbered twenty-three, comprising the teachers and interested students of the Con- servatory. The purpose in its organization was stated in its constitution as follows: We, music pupils of Olivet College, desiring to secure to ourselves and our successors the facilities for culture and improvement which are afforded by musical associations, do unite in organizing such an association .... The purpose of this organization is to secure musical and literary improvement and self-possession in execution, and to awaken among our fellow-students a greater interest in and apprecia- tion of the best music. Its founders builded better than they knew. With the infusion of new life into the Conservatory under the change of management in the fall of 1893, and the general awakening of interest in matters musical in the col- lege, the Guild, too, took on a vigorous growth. In its early days the society met at the homes of its members or inthe Conservatory building, a small frame house on the present church site. 'With the removal of the Conservatory to its present quarters, the Guild met in the Directors studio until, outgrowing that room, it was forced to meet in the chapel. In its weekly closed sessions, all grades of students have opportunity to appear. In the monthly open sessions, the more experienced performers present programs of which any musical society might be proud. At the annual Publics of the Guild, many works of rare artistic interest have been presented, among' which may be mentioned, Reinecke's Enchanted Swanswg A. Goring Thomas' The Swan and the Skylarkug Rhein- lJE1'gC1 S l'Clarice of Ebersteinug A Midsummer Nights Dream with Mendelssohn's incidental music, and t'The Tempest with incidental music. 4 , , THE Y. W. C. A. The Young Womens Christian Association fills a very large place in the life of Olivet College. Its influence is felt by the whole institution and forms a vital factor in the so-called Olivet spiritfl The aim of the association is to bring the girls into a deeper and fuller realization of the fellowship of Jesus Christ, that they in turn may show others the highest and best things of life. Witli this end in view, the Sunday evening meet- ings are held, where subjects and problems of general interest are freely discussed, and help is gained for the practical Christian life. A more intimate knowledge of the Bible -is gained through the live Bible classes. The association now numbers about one hundred and twenty-ive mem- bers. The meetings throughout the year have been well attended and great interest has been shown. The missionary work has been very suc- cessful also. About one hundred and fifteen dollars has been pledged for foreign work-one hundred of which goes to a Y. W.-C. A. secretary at work among the factory girls in China. Under the motto, 'KNot by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts, the Olivet Young Woiiienis Christian Associa- tion seeks to send its influence out into the world by developing earnest Christian women who shall make the world better for having lived in it. The officers for the past year have been: President-Marion Steele. Vice-President-Lucia Davis. Recording Secretary-Linnie Haskell. Corresponding Secretary-Elvesta Thomas. Treasurer-Helen McLennan. Committee Chairmen-Grace Scott, Florence Otis, Kathryne VVyckoff, Gail Curtis, Helen Long, Bertha Cooper, Jessie Brownson, Elvesta Thomas, Edna Whipple.g THE Y. M. C. A. Perhaps one of the greatest influences for good in America today is the Young Men's Christian Association. It enters every branch of life where young men are found and helps to uplift them. One of the most important branches of the work is the student department. It is very dif- ferent from the other branches because the needs are different. No gym- nasia are needed, because the colleges furnish them. So the student or- ganization simply seeks to get hold of the men and keep them interested in religious work. Our association is one of the strongest of any in the State. At present the membership is over ninety, out of scarcely more than a lmundred' boys in school. The meetings are strong and considered very helpful. VVide- awake, up-to-date subjects rather than abstract generalities are discussed by the boys with perfect freedom even when the meetings are led by mem- bers of the Faculty. We have to thank the Faculty for the interest they take, and believe that the meetings are stronger for their presence. A new institution of our association is the Information Bureau, which was installed last fall. A complete canvass of the town was made, before school opened, for the purpose of finding all boys' rooming places and any work which might be done by students. The reception committee at the trains directed the students to this Bureau. In this way the entrance of new students into college was 0'I'S21'ElV facilitated. Thus new men learned b D .a that the association was more than a Sunday-night meeting. The officers for the past year Were: President-Falley C. McLaughlin. President Qto fill vacancyj-james XV.

Of college life there are certain phases whichr seem to be obscured by a sort of mystic environment, and within these are fashioned many dim episodes which lend to the enchantment of college romance. But a shade less fabulous and captivating than a trip to the moon, is a concert tour with the Glee and Mandolin Clubs. To prevent an extra volume of the Annual from being cast abroad, the tour must suffer an injustice, for the happenings, droll and dull, sportive and sad, laughable and lugubrious, wouldrequire many quarts of Sanford's Best, and many quartos of prepared paper rags, to spread them- selves before the public eye. And although these requirements were met, not even the famous Warl1orse of the VVestern Press could portray intelligibly and true to life the good and worse times which befell the twenty-two happy victims of the tour. In the whole gamut of human experiences there is not a note which did not sound the key for at least a husky chord. Some were minors, some were majors, but they all went into the master composition of th'e season, and while the raven at times croaked himself hoarse, yet success was doled out to him in such large and frequent doses that he was relieved from further anticipation of distemper. VV hole cities went wild with enthusiasmg but few put on mourning. The leading columns of important newspapers were given up to sensa- tional and exciting reports, rarely were less words used in the issue fol- lowing the performance than in the one previous. Not one after-call was made at the ticket office, and the price of eggs throughoutqthe State main- tained a perfect equilibrium. Q Between stops, in the special car all was joy and confusion. The officers of the rails were jolly and good-natured, and the news agents, with their nasal Hcrackerjack and salted peanuts, were fascinated. At stops, the land gave plentifully from its supply of delicacies, and even the bonniest grew fit for a winter's sleep. The director and manager were the only members who were bothered at any time with anxious intentions. All future rellections and questions relating to the value of discipline and to the college curriculum were thrown aside. The season from the, standpoint of the Clubs was a howling success. For the opinions of those fortunate enough to hear the howling, you are referred to forty-seven leading newspapers in the United States and Canada. THE TREBLE CLEF CHORUS. One of the newer orO'anizations of Olivet College and one which has b D 7 already gained for itself an enviable reputation, is the Treble Clef Chorus. This Chorus, composed of sixteen girls, was hrst organized two years ago under the leadership of Mr. Eric Delamarter. The Glee Club and the Treble Clef Chorus gave one or two concerts together, but no very extensive work was done. Last year the Chorus was reorganized with Mrs. Bintlitf as director. More systematic work was undertaken, and the Treble Clef appeared on several different occasions during the year. The girls sang at Co-mmence- ment time with such marked success that several guests who were present made requests that they undertake a concert tour. In the fall of 1906-07, the Treble Clef Chorus, stronger and better than ever before, began preparations for such a tour. Most of the members of the Chorus are vocal students, and all have more or less musical ability, so that they were able to undertake a high class of music. Under the excellent training of Mrs. Bintliff, work progressed rapidly. The week after Thanksgiving, the Chorus made its first trip. Con- certs were given at Muskegon, Traverse City, Petoskey, Cadillac and Big Rapids. Each was largely attended and the reception given the enter- tainments was most enthusiastic. Miss Grace Scott, as reader, Miss Bertha Cooper as vocal soloist, and Misses Edna Wfhipple and Agnes Barnum as piano soloists, brought honor to themselves and to the entire Chorus, and were encored again and again. Not a single hitch in the program occurred during the entire trip, and everywhere high com- mendation and appreciation of the concert were expressed. The girls re- turned to Olivet at the end of the week, delighted at the generous hos- pitality which had everywhere been accorded them, and at the unqualified success of this, their first concert tour. A little later the home concert was given, and the girls lived up to the reputation they had gained while away. The Chorus continues weekly rehearsals throughout the year. The parts are unusually well-balanced, and the music chosen, while varying widely in range, is always of good quality. Calls have already been re- ceived for another tour next year, and prospects indicate that the good work begun by the Treble Clef Chorus will go on with ever-increasing success, and that it will continue to be a credit to the College and the Con- servatory which it represents. AUBREY L. rator1c.a ASHBY Assoc1at1on Une of the chief among Glivet's achievements this year was the win- ning of second place in the State Oratorical Contest by Aubrey L. Ashby. Mr. Ashby's oration, The Man Vlfhio Toils, was of real value, and so close was the contest that the winning college had a margin of but half a point. This Well sustained Olivetls unparalleled record in the State Con- tests, a place every year for nine years. The College Oratorical Association is, perhaps, one of the most quiet in its workings, and yet one of the most useful organizations of Glivet. W'ithout it, the progress of the college in intercollegiate oratory would be greatly impeded g and yet not one student in a dozen knows of its ex- istence more than one-tenth of the time. The purpose of the association is to take care of the technicalities of the college contests. 'With the aid of the English Professor, the dates of the class and college contests are set, and the judges for them procured. Thus a stability is given and a basis formed from which to promote the interests of oratory. Recently an effort has been made to put the association on the same basis as the Athletic Association. This would make all students mem- bers of the association, and the nominal fee from each would place the association finances on a high plane. It would also tend to put the interest in oratory on the increase. The officers for the past year were: President-I. A. Wade. Vice-President-C. S.-Blake. Secretary and Treasurer-A. L. Barker. Representative to State League-S. C. Parsons. THE OLIVET ECHO. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. NELLIE A. ARMs, FO7, Clzazrmzazz. Everett Arnold, . ,O7. Sol. Brainerd, 'o9. Henry D. Hughes, . .

The Olivet Echo, not to mention the Reverberashun, is a bright. wide-awake students' paper, reflecting the every-day college life. It is under student management, and has for many years been a success. This year it has not fallen short of its usual high standard, but has, on the con- trary, seemed to become more indispensable than ever in Olivet. Not only has it a large circulation among th-e students, but many alumni and former students show their appreciation of the echo of college fun and enthusiasm by continued subscription. It is an institution Olivet could not well do Without. BARBECUE.-October 30, 1906. The Barbecue was instituted by the class of ,O7, at the suggestion of Dr. Lancaster. Each succeeding class has tried to do as well as its prede- cessor, or if possible, to surpass it. This year's Barbecue was unique in every way, involving a great deal of work on the part of the Sopho- mores, and they were quite ready for all the praises which were bestowed upon them.

The Senior Float was held on the ninth of june, 1906, at Pine Lake. The boats with their many lanterns and the fireworks made a very pretty sight from the shores of the Lake, where the common herd was gathered. The boats twisted around this way and that, and the sound of gay voices was heard over the water. When the signal was given, the boats all closed in about that of the toastinaster, Mr. VVhitney, to hear the toasts given by Mr. Jillson, Miss Dibble, Mr. 'Waters and Mr. Parsons. The event of the evening was the reception of the paddle by Miss Wfyckoff from Mr. Loomis. A very appropriate speech was made and warmly received. Then several Sophomore girls and boys served a lunch to the Floaters, and incidentally to the fishes. Tt was now time to break up the happy party .3 the boats turned toward the shore and soon the Float of 'O6 was only a sweet memory. , HELIOGABALUS.-May 21, 1906. MENU.

The college and student body have good reason to feel proud of the athletics of the past year, second in track by a narrow margin, third in baseball under conditions which, had they been otherwise, would have given us second or even first, and the championship in football. This success, combined with the character of athletes which have rep- resented the college of late, afford us just reason for feeling that athletics deserve a warm berth and the encouragement of all. A great deal of credit is due Coach Kennedy and the kind of sports- manship he teaches, and the spirit lie enthuses into the men is entirely in keeping with the ideal for which Olivet College stands. BASIC ET-BAI,L. The basket-ball season closed this year with a very successful record from Qlivet's viewpoint, though basket-ball as yet is in its infancy here. Most of the team of '05 were on hand and a good, hard-working second team for thie whole season. The only defeats suffered were administered by more experienced teams, though the team was never at any time snowed under. Mt. Pleasant, M. A. C., Hope and Adrian were the ones to do this, though Adrian was defeated on our floor. Albion was defeated four times by decisive scores, both on their floor and on ours. Hadden, Guard, Captain.

Prospects for a winning track team were not particularly bright at the beginning of last season, although M. I. A. A. record-makers were present in college. However, as the season advanced and the training brought more mate- rial out, th.ere were several men who showed record form, and the older men seemed to improve over their work in former years. . VVith limited apparatus and a comparatively poor track, the fellows worked faithfully under the direction of the coach and overcame many of the difficulties, and were able to present themselves at iliield Day as a for- midable factor in the struggle for championship honors. On May 19, 1906, a Triangular Meet was held on Reed Field, Oli- vet, with Albion, Kalamazoo and Olivet participating. From the begin- ning Olivet and Kalamazoo were close leaders, with Albion in the rear, and it was not until the last event was run off that Cllivet was sure of first place. The meet resulted in the following scores: Qlivet, 65 points, Kalamazoo, 56 points: and Albion, 9 points. Field Day was held at Lansing on M. A. Cfs athletic grounds on june Ist and 2d. M. A. C. won the meet by the score of 49, though Qlivet was a close second all the way with 33M. Four Hrecords' are now held by Qlivet men: 880-yard run by Milliken, time 2:03 2-SQ mile and two- mile runs, Thomas, time 4241 2-5 and IO :33g and the shot-put, with a dis- tance of 39 ft. IM, ins.

The training of the Baseball team began in the middle of the winter of '06, and most of the men availed themselves of practice carried on in the gymnasium, and were in fairly good condition when outdoor train- ing was commencedl The team was composed of eight OU men of the season of 1905, and was in every respect a much better one than has represented the college for many years. All the candidates for the t-eam came back and reported for practice, the middle of spring vacation week, and the following Saturday played a 'fdouble header with M. A. C. on their grounds, in which they came away with even honors. Before Field Day, four games were played' with M. A. C., three with Albion, two with Kalamazoo, one with Hillsdale, one with Alma, and one with Charlotte High School. Three of these were ten-inning games and were won by the fellows' ability to hit at critical times. It happened that Olivet and Albion were at one time tied for first place, Field Day one day away, and this necessitated playing for three successive days and making a long trip besides. If it had not been for this, the team would undoubtedly have won second place or even first. Chiesman, pitcher, second base. Shepherd, short-stop. Moore, catcher. Weecl, third base.

Perhaps the record of the football team of last fall has done more for clean, honest athletics than any other one thing. Prospects for a winning team were of the most doubtful character, even to the most hopeful: with all of M. A. C.'s old team back and Albion and Alma almost intact, it looked dark indeed for O. C. But the fellows worked hard and trained themselves for each team they met, and though not very strong offensively, were able to hold effect- ively teams much heavier. The climax of the season was the M. A. C. game. The fellows, some- what bruised from former battles, met that day the fastest and craftiest team in the M. T. A. A. and one which outweighed them about fifteen pounds to the man, and held them during the first half and scored toward the end of the second. lfVith one exception all of this team were Y. M. C. A. men and were all typical college students, up in all their work and perfectly qualified to represent a college in every way.

It was a sizzling hot Septembier day, in the little western college. From the refectory rose the stified buzz of many voices, mingled with the rattle and clatter of dishes. It was dinner hour. At the table in the stuffy south corner,-the table with the center- piece of glaring yellow Howers,-was taking place a heated discussion as to whether the new Miss James could be older than gray-bearded Prof. James, her brother. The table dude, Socrates, was leading the nega- tive, old Batch, the affirmative. Batch'l had just begun to warm up to the theme, a favorite of his, when a cool, clear voice, coming from the direction of the sugar and creamer, inquired: VVhatls this ?', T The discussion stopped short. All eyes turned to their idolized Mater, in whose upraised hand was seen a clumsy white pickle dish overflowing with water. Wl1at's this F Inquisitive Jack Sprat, craning his long neck to get a better view of the situation, burst into his contagious giggle. A snicker, led by the nasal laugh of the minister-to-be, ran along the table. There in number seven, the kinky curls shaking on her red cheeks, fumbling with a piece of cheesed macaroni, uncomfortably wriggled Kittens.', Beside her, with gaze concentrated on the leaky spot in the ceiling, sat the overgrown boy-pater, Hal. Now, slowly transferring his gaze to the rusty place in the stovepipe, he was leisurely lifting his glass to his lips-to find it cuzpty! His face twitchedg he raised his berry-stained napkin to his mouth, but too late. The quick-eyed Mater had caught sight of the empty glass. Putting down the pickle dish, she folded her napkin, and, drawing herself up to give Hal one of her pathetic glances, sighed: 'fYou've tried my patience long enough, sonnyf' I Aw, come on, Mater, can't you stand even a bit of fun? I just ful- hlled the wish you made the other day at dinnerg that's a finger-bowl. But Mater, the only one who could resist Hal's teasing, rose and left the table. As she passed the corner, she turned and asked of him: You havent forgotten the promise you made me P This question could not have been exactly insignificant in Pateras mind, for during the rest of the meal, he was irresponsive to the fun. Iust before leaving the table, he leaned over for the water-pitcher and raised his eyes. Kittens grew red and nodded her head slightly. CHAPTER II. Hello there, chocolate-eyes! Ready yet? You look like a blinger in that pink dress! called a boy's voice from the front steps, adding in a drawl, Thought perhaps you wouldn't come with me after that squelch from Mater. Mistaken as usual, weren't you, Pater ?', answered Kittens, running down the stairs to meet him. But, Hal, to confess the honest truth, it was a-wffzzlly good of you to take all the blame from me. l'd never have done it, honest, if I'd known it'd end that way.-Hal? TN hat ? I Hal ! NVell! She was teasing. 'fW7hat was that promise Mater referred to at din- ner ? ' Nothing, VVon't you tell me? ' l UNO-fy VVas it- shrugging her shoulders, f'It wasn't about that bad influ- ence she thinks I have over you ? No! His answer settled her doubts. Peach of a day, isn't it, Kittie? This weather's what Johnnie Keats calls the 'season of mists.' Ts it? She laughed, as she always did when he quoted. She had known him three months, was sure she knew him wellg yet she had never been able to see why literature appealed to him. They had sauntered along the scorching cement walks, under the maples, down the hill into the village. Q HBingo ! The boy, who had stopped before the old apothecary's shop, was inspecting a large white sign. Kittens! Heres your last chance. 'Twenty-five pictures, twenty-five cents. Upstairs. Last day. Come and bring your petsf Pets! turning to the girl, Pets? Believe Tlll take 3!01!.lU - She threw back her head and laughed. The boy looked up just as a beam of afternoon sunshine, slipping through the leaves of the apothe- cary's old elm tree, fell across her face. In the first glance he saw, all illumined by the shaky light, the curly hair brushed tightly back, the rosy cheeks, the sparkling eyes 3-and he forgot himself. That's itg make a promise and then don't keep it l It was the girl's Voice. Oh! you're exactly like all boys. you are! T was-I-I was just thinking-that is-Oh! come along, girlie! and laughing, he led her up the squeaky stairway at the side of the old apothecary's shop. At the top, they turned into a dingy room filled with penny-pictures and beefsteak smoke. A squinty-eyed woman came to meet them and, immediately interested in the refined appearance of the boy and the girl's daring eye, put on her most coquettish air to inquire: Come to have a photergraph, suh Fi' h'Y'eS.l5 f'Alone ? :KNO :J YVhere's yer pet ?'l winking at the girl. 'Whfe left the dog downstairs, he wouldnt hold stillf, Oh! Then right this way, suhfl She led them into a corner of the room, lighted by two greasy win- dows and cut off from the rest by a ragged sheet hanging from the ceiling. 'Whfill you sit down ?H addressing them familiarly. Now, there was only one chair in this apartment. The girl sat down. lVon't you sit down P asked the woman of the boy. W7here ? There, turning her squinty eyes toward the girl. Hal hesitated. Sit down! called the voice, now impatient, muffled under the hood of the camera. , He sat down, he knew that he looked peevish. 'fKittens had uncon- sciously assumed a shamefaced expression. An awkward silence followed, broken by a triumphant voice from the hood. Finell' , P The boy grew red, the girl laughed hysterically, the camera had caught them. Shufhing over to a peg in the wall, the woman took down a dusty Japanese umbrella and a little stiff hat trimmed with three perpendicular tail feathers. The umbrella she opened and tilted over the boy's shoulder: the hat she placed on the girl's curls. Then, stepping back and catching hold of her double chin, she rolled her shiny face from side to side, mumbling 2 . I Oh! deah, so becominiu Hal disagreed, but in silence. Something told him to get upg he was conscious of his awkwardnessg Kittens had grown indifferent. But already the nose of the camera was pointed toward them, Another silence: then a disgusted outburst from the canopy. Too sour l Though the photographer insisted upon another pose, Hal refused. His conscience had beguun to prick. The conversation during the walk home was strained. He was curious to know what the girl thought of him, and she, oddly enough, was itching to find out what he could think of her. He inopportunely remembered that they should have had a chaperon. She, haunted by some photograph plates seen on the photographers table, felt convinced that some one would discover tlieivfs. At the steps, they parted, she laughing nervously, he with the promise on his lips never to breathe a word of it all. CHAPTER 111. Next morning at breakfast, two seats were vacant, number six and number seven. At dinner, Kittens appeared in an unbecoming gray dress, with eyes red, she ate nothing. Hal's necktie looked a little ex- cited. Twice he was about to serve the potatoes with the carving-knife. Toward the end of the meal, he sent Kittens a telegraphic message- three taps on his glass. After the table had left, the girl waited and he handed her a large orange-colored envelope, which she received with a toss of the head and a blush. That afternoon, the secret was twenty-four hours old, it had grown too heavy for them to bear alone, so they had come to share it with Mater. Kittens carried the orange-colored envelope. Finding Mater in her room, rocking in the easy chair, the two settled into the old horse-hair couch before her. VVell, my dears, what can T do for you? she asked, beaming upon them over her glasses. Mater had always had an extra warm spot way down in her heart for these two youngsters. Hal waited for Kittens to speak, and t'Kittens' waited for, Hal. ,Spose, being the girl, it's my duty to tell first, she sighed, drawing from a crease in the couch the yellow envelope. Here's what it's all about, Mater dear. Mater slipped something from the envelope and looked at it. The two held their breath. She looked at it long, 'apparently examining every detail. Then she closed her eyes, took off her glasses, wiped them slowly on the linen table cover, readjusted them, and opened her eyes upon the occupants of the couch. And whom is this for ?', at You, Mater-dear. rr Humm-and you- ? Kittens, who had slipped to Mater's feet, buried her head in her lap- and choked: Let any one else see it? Oh! Materfl Soberly, Mater patted the thick black braids: then turned to Hal. He was gazing out of the bay window, far down the lane, past the group of noisy students, past Aunty Greens gay Hower gardens. past the shimmery lake, at nothing. Save for the rustle of the curtains fanned by a breeze- from the open window, the room was noiseless. And the promise P As though shocked, the boy brought his thoughts back to realityg then turned a startled gaze toward the questioner. I couldnt keep it, Mater! His voice was hoarse. The girl, jumping up, stood between them with a questioning air. Hal ! she cried in a shrill voice. VVhat promise ? Its nothing, Kittie: calm yourself! Mater, tell me! what promise ?', No answer. Mater! Still no answer. She stood looking pitifully from one to the other, both had turned their faces from her. It was Hal who broke the silence by clearing his throat. Tell her, Mater, she's the right to know. Sonny, -it was Mater's soft voice,- are you sure ?', Do it quick, Mater. U And the dear soul, enveloping the girl in her motherly arms, told in a low voice the secret. Ever since the death of his mother, she said, Hal had been trying to fill with the love of his Mater the great vacant place in his heart. Three days ago he had come to her room, troubled. Uncon- sciously to the boy, she had discovered the cause of his sadness. He had been yearning for a serious strain in t'Kittens , nature, but had never been able to find it. Still, he admitted that he had never given her a chance to show her inner self. From this confession had come the promise that, in order to play fair with the girl, he was to treat her seriously for one month. This promise he had broken. Kittens' lay motionless in Mater's arms. Hal had left the room. CHAPTER IV. The month that followed brought many surprises to the table. Wlietlier or not a matter of intention, number seven had not again been drawn by Kittens The girl was wonderfully changed. True enough, she smiled, but her smile was simpler, quieter than beforeg her vivacity had become cheerfulness. At times, an expression of sadness came into her eyes. Besides, there were no more telegraphic messages, for Pater had turned his attention to a girl at the next table, one of the best students of the college. For over four weeks the noon meals had been growing more and more solemn-until one day Pater took the last pickle from the clumsy white pickle dish and, emptying his glass of watereinto it, passed the dish along. Wfhen it was Kittens' U turn to take it, she, catching Mater's eye, begged to be excused and left the table. The look with which Hal followed her gave his heart away, it was a look that could not have been inspired by the best student in any college, as long as there existed-a Kittens ! Since dinner, Kittens ' thoughts had been tantalizingg she could not lose them. So she had hurried into the grove of forlorn maples be- yond the lake. Through the sea of golden leaves she went, straight to the old blue-green hemlock-her dream-tree. Past her, rippled the silver brook. She sat down on a crumbled stump and, drawing from her pocket a small, worn book, unconsciously opened it to a place where the leaf was turned downg then, supporting her chin on her hands, she lifted her eyes to the brook. Reflected in its glistening surface, the arms of her dream-tree were beckoning. She answered their summonsg drifting, drifting, she slipped away with the little brook, into the Unknown. A stir behind her! Turning, she found Hal. Is it you ? she questioned blankly. Looks that way, doesn't it? He smiled at her. Hope T'm not intruding ? , No-it wouldn't be fair to keep this beautiful spot all to one's self. He noticed the book in her hand. XVhat are you reading 7' little nonsense. lt isn't Mater's 'Sonnets from the Portuguese' lu Mistaken as usual, aren't you, Hal ? 'fAre you reading the one where the leaf is turned down ? he asked, covering the page with his hand. 'fPerhaps.'l 'fThen tell it to me. 'fl can't. See here, Kittens, play fair. She flushed and turned toward the sunset. Over the wooded hill, a strange new color was quivering, a deep liquid -green. The sight of it thrilled her. Yielding to a sudden impulse, she began repeating, as though to herself : Ulf thou must love me, let it be for naught Except for love's sake only. Do not say, 'T love her for her smile-her look-her way Of speaking gently,-for a trick of thought That falls in well with mine, and- ' Enough! Kittens !-Girlie! repeat the first two lines-for me! She obeyed, looking all the while into the west. There, the color had been fading away, so that now the sky was an ashen gray, hung with storm-clouds. A cold night breeze chilled the boy. From the hemlock rose a murmur like the far-off thunder of surf. Gently placing his strong hand over those that held the little book, he turned his eyes in the direc- tion of hers. Far, far away he looked, beyond the blue ridge of woods, toward the departing day. f ' ' llf l' l 't. The yearning hac e t ns ieai MARIE LOUISE STAEHLE' A DREAM OF THE ISLES.

EDITH SPAULDING. WHEN YOU WENT CANVASSING. At the close of a dreary winter day, crowded with all the duties of a students life, it pleases you to throw all care aside, forget the present, and let memory do with you what it will. Stretched out in your easy-chair with dreams thronging in upon you, you say over to yourself a stanza that all dreamers ought to know : lVhat's the use of workin' Wfhen you can sit and think- Dreamin' all sorts of dreams quicker'n a wink, Pretty girls, automobiles, pockets full of chink: Wfhats the use of workin' when you can sit and think P And then again, floods in upon you that host of memories., Some are hazy and indistinct, like the half-remembered echo of forgotten soundg some stand out in bold colors, indelibly impressed, as it were, jewels set in the hazy, golden glow of thought. Gradually among these jewels one begins to gleam brighter than all the others, and soon you find yourself looking only at it, and willingly living over again the scenes of that sum- mer when you went canvassing. You see again the face of the general agent who came to your college town. You hear his specious arguments, you listen to his alluring tales, you hear the glowing accounts of success achieved by students last year. You turn his proposition over in your mind again and again, you study all sides of the question, you conclude that he is honest, and you sign his con- tract. And now you are starting for your scene of work. Your friends have prophesied that you will be bankrupt within a week. but you feel that you are well prepared to make good. You have studied your instructions, you have canvassed imaginary customers, you have become enthusiastically interested in your proposition. The railway takes you into the city and you begin to look around you. Here is the busy, bustling throng, each man intent upon his own business and having no time even to exchange greetings-these are the people whom you must persuade that you have the greatest bargain ever offered to an unfeeling public. Next day, eager with anticipation, you begin your work. You go up to a large, forbidding house, nervously ring the bell, stammer out the speech outlined in your instructions, and at the lady's reply, 'Tm busy, you make a noise like an Arab and silently steal away. Then you take a grip on yourself, throw instructions to the winds, go to the next house, assume a natural, confidential manner and make a sale. In those brief moments you learn that lesson of all lessons, that to succeed, a man must always be himself. For two weeks, you revel in glorious success. Nearly every one responds to your alluring arguments, and' you are coining money. There is something intensely exhilarating in your work. It is so satisfying to meet your customer, set forth your proposition, meet her objections before she makes them, match your wits against hers, and, best of all, convince her, sometimes against her will, and take down her order, and your pulses thrill with a sense of power. You feel that you arealmost omnipotent. You remember an encounter you had with a typical bargain-day hunter. On your first day of work she gave you an order for an article costing thirty cents, and was very much interested in another one costing two dollars and thirty cents. You used every means at your command to induce her to buy it, and as a last resort offered to sell it to her for two dollars. This would make the cost of the two articles two dollars and thirty cents, which was exactly the original cost of the one. The lady said: If I had thought I were going to buy this one, T wouldn't have ordered the hrst onef, All right, you said, t'I'll take back the hrst one. And the lady paid you two dollars and thirty cents for one article, when you had just offered her the same article and another one in addition for the same price. Wfhether she ever discovered her mistake or not, you do not know, but it has furnished you many a good laugh since then. One time, you came into a little town on Thursday, and that night you attended prayer-meeting in the village church. After several people had given their testimony, you sincerely and with all earnestness offered yours. Next day you sold goods to half a dozen ladies whom you had met the night before at the church. And som-ehow you always went to prayer- meeting after that. But soon those hot August days came on and something seemed to be the matter with you. You remember how you used all the means at your command without success. You still talked any kind of politics people wanted you to, you still praised the baby, you still petted the catg but somehow you couldnit sell the goods. You thought you were lacking in enthusiasm and needed a changeg so, one night you met a farmer in town, and agreed to work for him a few days. As you rode ,along that night through a hne, drizzlingirain, hardly exchanging a word with your tac- iturn companion, you wondered if your course were wise, but, somehow, you were very happy. You were leaving behind you that busy, hurrying, jostling crowd that was absorbed in fierce competition, and were going back to your people. You could make a good living in that crowd, but you didn't like to. The soil was calling you, and you were answering. Next morning the absence of the pretty French waiter with her Beefsteak, pork chops, bacon, ham, sausage, eggs, was almost, if not quite, made up for by the farmer's hearty Have another one of them 'air aigs, pardnerf' and you had another. And now began for you the hardest kind of toil. They were threshing grain, and you were on the stack pitching the bundles into the machine. It was hard work, but you remembered that you had worked just as hard in many a football game, and had always felt better for it. Then you began to think of thiose football games, that last one with M. A. C.-how fiercely those Farmers fought, and suddenly you began to think of next fall. You were no longer on the bundle stack- you were on the gridiron. Olivet was leading by one touchdown. Albion had the ball on Olivet's ten-yard line, with three minutes left to play- from the side lines came the frantic cries to hold 'em ! You drew every muscle tense, you charged-and your r-everies 'were rudely interrupted by the cry of a man whom you had accidentally stabbed with your pitch- fork. A few days of this healthful work and you were back again in the city. You kept on canvassing, not because you enjoyed it, but because you hated to quit. For, nailed on the wall of your room was your motto: The Lord hates a stick, but loves a sticker. But at last there came the day when you had a good excuse to go home, and you lost no time in getting there. A week or two in the home surroundings, and then away again for college., The train pulled into the station, you saw the rickety old ,bus and the familiar landmarks, and once more you thanked your beneficent stars for Olivet. And into these memories come others of which you would rather not tell-memories of moonlight nights, when there were no lessons to pre- pare for the next day, when there were no seven-thirty rules,-nights when you-But you would rather dream about these things than talk of them. And with you musing thus we leave you. Wfe know those memories are sweet and that you fain would linger over them. I HENRX' D. HUGHEs. SUNSET. The sun sinks slowly down behind the lake, Alone, no clouds to share his glory, thus Serene, majestic, nlling all the sky W' ith roseate hue, he bids the earth good-night. The lake, unruflled by a breath of wind, Lies calm and tranquil, all aglow with light: The dainty song-sparrow, comforter of ,the heart, Offers his evening hymn of gratitude. All Nature now seems filled with quiet joy,- Ioy in the night that is, the day to come, Wfhile in the heart of man there dwelleth peace, Gods messenger of love to earth from heaven.

The class of S93 had held its last meeting, and its members, after sing- ing their class song for the last time together, had strolled away by twos and threes until only the sound of their voices was borne faintly back to the campus. But under the great magnolia trees a group of girls still lingered, for the farewell chatteration,l' as they termed it, which would be impracticable in the hurry and excitement of the morrow. HO, mel sighed Coquette, for four long years T have been looking forward to my graduation day as the great event of the nineteenth century, and now I am beginning to feel sorry that it has come at allf' 'But pleasures are like poppies spread- You seize the flower-its bloom is shed,' 5' quoted Madge. That seems to be your experience, Coquettefl And minef' added the Girl in Blue. And mine,', echoed Florence and the Brown-haired Girl. Here, too! exclaimed Mab. NVhy, this will never do l said Madge. W'e ought, like the hero, to sigh for more worlds to conquer. Cf course each of us will chase a favorite phantom, well, now suppose we confide to each other just which particular one we severally intend to pursue. Agreed,'l replied Florence. Please unroll your little map first, Madgef, No, no, objected the Girl in Blue, if the beautiful Miss Ericson, the president and idol of our class, speaks first, we simply can't compare our ideals with any so lofty as hers. Mine? O, not at all I said Madge, cheerfully: Nl expect, after emerging from the present chrysalis state, to become a full-fledged but- terfly. Even now l feel a tickling on my shoulders, caused by the expan- sion of my gorgeous wingsf' Fuzzy caterpillar l parenthesized the Brown-haired Girl. There, l'll brush it off, Madge. 'fl shall devote myself to society, continued Madge. My house shall be finest, my horses the handsomest, my carriage the most elegant, and, to supplement their glory, my coachman shall wear a collar so high and so stiff that it will saw off his ears if he relaxes a fraction of his dignity. I'And you'll marry some Crown Prince's son, no doubtf' prophesied Coquette. O, that, of course, conceded Madge, indifferentlyg he will be the pony that runs the merry-go-round, don't you see? Nor shall he lack that variety which is the spice of life. In fact, I rather think I'll haze him. Now, Florencef, said the Brown-haired Girl. Music is, as you may guess, my 'favorite phantomf 3' replied Florence, whose voice had been, even since her Freshman days, the pride of the Con- servatory. I shall spend next year, at least, in Germany, studying hard. Your success is already assured, said Madge. Now, which bee is in Coquette's bonnet ? In the near future I shall swing in a hammock under the maplesf' answered Coquette. Beyond this the weaving Fates haven't informed me of their selection of a pattern, but I hope to be finally one of those mentioned by :Baby Binks'-'Bimeby um found somepin' um could do pretty well, and um went an' donepitf U You are so indefinite, commented Mab, that nobody will have a chance to sayI'I told you so., Wfell, I see I'm next in line. Literature is my chosen work. Don't be surprised if at some future time you see my name appended to some learned treatise elucidating the Thingness of the Vlfhich or the Thusness of the Now. HQ, my prophetic soul! Instinct taught me that there was a blue- stocking around, sighed the Girl in Blue. The Honorable Speaker has the Hoor,', reminded Florence, with exaggerated politeness. I haven't anything to tell, said the Girl in Blue, quietly. My am- bition, if it may be called that, is to bring order out of chaos in my fathers establishment, which certainly isnft home to any of us,-to have the ef- frontery to command the cook, and to civilize my little brothers, who are just running wild under the care of servants. And I shall teach, said the Brown-haired Girl, and try to repay with love and kindness the dear little mother whfo has sacrificed so much to keep me in college. Don't pity me, please, for if we only have health, work, and each other, we shall beivery happy. Perish the thought of that hammock! cried Coquette. You two have made me so ashamed of my utter worthlessness that I want to hide my head like a partridge. Yet even your aim is higher than mine, said Madge. VVe have outlined our way through life with happy confidence in our own abilities, but let us not forget that lFate writes the is, the was, and the .fha-IZ ben' And now I make a proposition. Ten years from this day let all of us who yet Walk the earth meet here under these magnolias and compare notes to see which of us have realized today's ambitionfi I know I'll get the booby prize, said Coquette, plaintively, as the six girls shook hands in solemn compact, then turned with one accord, and, two by two, walked slowly away across the campus. Ik is Ik 1? is It was the june day which ended the decade, and under the magnolias the faithful friends gathered to keep their girlish tryst. There were but four now, for the sweet-voiced singer and the brown-haired girl had long ag'o come to the end of the road, and were resting in tranquil peace beneath the long green tent whose curtain never swings outward. The change which time had brought towMadge had already passed into the great history of the Church of Christ. I-Ier butterfly wings fell off in her first season, and for years she had been a foreign missionary whose name was known over two continents to those interested in the work of sending the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth. I had scarcely hoped to see you, Madge, said she who had been the Girl in Blue. That you could leave your great work and cross the ocean to keep your tryst with the remnant of your disbanded class seems in- crediblef' I longed so much to see you, and the old glad life of our Alma Mater once more, answered Madge. And while I have kept sufficiently in touch with affairs at home to know the principal events which have hap- pened to you, I wish to hear from yourselves how they all came to passf' f'You know- began the ertswhile Girl in Blue, looking up shyly. '1That you have written the most successful book of the season. I knew also that you had had this talent years ago, and my only wonder is concerning the d'eveloping process. It all came about in the most matter-of-fact wayf' replied the Girl in Blue. After I had reigned for two years my father married again. The new mother was a woman of tact and discernment. Wfhat I had done well, she did better, and with a clear conscience I relinquished my burden. I married an author, and his work so fascinated me that I longed to help him. At first I was of about as much use to him as was Dickens' 'Doral to David, when she begged him to let her hold the pens, but after much encouragement I struck out for myself, with the result that you have seen. 'There is a destiny that shlapes our ends, ' quoted Madge softly. lN7hat has it done for you, Coquette ? I fell from that hammock long ago, laughed Coquette. The des- tiny of which Madge speaks ordained me to become the helpmeet of an overworked Methodist minister. After the fashion of that denomination, we have only the intervals between successive movings and re-establish- ments in which to abound in good works, but still my ambition has been fulfilled, for having 'found something I could do prettfr wellf I 'went and did it.' l' Madge smiled her appreciation. And the book you were to write, Mah ? she asked. Are you still pond'ering on the Thusness' of the Now Fl' O, I had no literary talentf' said Mah, good-humoredly, but my father says I have a positive genius for home-making. VV hen mother left us, nine years ago, I took up her work, and even my two brothers who are in college now admire my executive abilityfi 'fAnd now, said Madge, there remains for us only to pay our loving tribute to the friends of our girlhood wh.o have passed beyond our sphere. W7 hat of Florence, Coquette ? I know only that she returned from Germany with a marvelous voice, and that for a year her triumphs increased, and then- f'She joined the choir invisible, supplemented the Girl in Blue. The life of the other was at first as she had pictured it,'i she con- tinued, after a pause. She taught successfully, and she and her mother were very happy in their little home. In the third summer a scourge of fever devastated the city, and the little mother was among the first of its victims. Ethna turned from the grave without one doubt of the goodness of God, and went down into the hottest and most densely crowded portion of the fever-parched Southern city, where the poor were dying by hun- dreds. There Florence came, also, and like ministering angels the two were ever found together, soothing the suffering, praying for the dying, and robino' the dead. Not until the hot simoon of fever yielded to the cool Z3 winds of autumn did Florence falter. A week later Ethna, too, was strickenf, There was a long silence, which Madge was the hrst to break, and in her voice was a note not of grief, but of triumph. UI would have crossed the ocean ten times, she said, for all that I have learned today. For, don,t you see that, in the phraseology of our college days, we have all 'made good,' without one recreant member? That we shall meet again here is vain to hope, for the ship is even now in the harbor to bear me back to the work from which I may never return. But there is yet another tryst which we may keep with Florence and Ethna, in the Master's own time. Again, as on the day before their graduation, the friends clasped each others' hands in silent agreement, and slowly turned away. But Madge instinctively lingered for a moment, as if to await the Brown-haired Girl, as of old. EDITH SPAULDING. THE LOSING OF THE MAN. They had always called him the Man, though just why was never known. Perhaps it was because he was the only leaven in the large lump of femininity that had chosen to elect advanced Botany. More likely it was because it seemed altogether absurd daily to burden a man with a cognomen like Dr. Von Blumelow, Ph. D., Head of the Department of Biology in Rose Hill College' Moreover, Dr. Von Blumelow was an object of romantic interest to his romance-loving class. It was rumored that, coming from an aristocratic family, he had been an officer of cavalryg and that some state offense had compelled him to come to America and support himself by teaching what he had before studied as a pastime. It was also rumored that the walls of his rooms were covered with ugly pistols and murderous sabres, and that he could sing divinely,-all of which tended to raise him to a point high in the estimation of his Botany class. This bright morning late in May the Man was the topic of an ani- mated conversation as the group of students left the lecture room. The unthinking professor had doomed twenty bright and active maidens to spend the whole afternoon of this glorious day in field work, and though Dr. Von Blumelow was in some ways very manageable, still an after- noon of field work under him did not mean a few hours of aimless wan- dering and listless gathering of pretty flowers, already well known. Thus they chattered : f'Horrid thing! just the day to spend on the river. And have a delicious supper under the elms ! f'And then a stroll home by the river pathln Oh, don't! why wasn't thie Man endowed with a slight sense of the fitness of things? Instead of all these delightful and alluring prospects, we may look forward to spending five hours in the hot sun, digging in the mud and dirt for plants with unrememberable names, which we are supposed to have at our tongues' ends. And haven't, nor ever shall have. And the Man will say: 'Young ladies, constant review is the secret of acquiring thorough knowledge. lt is not well to let that which is once yours, escape youf Sh-h! I believe Ianet's thinking! There was a hush at once in the chatter, for any mental activity on the part of Janet usually boded ill for the peace of the Rose Hill authorities, if H but promised endless diversion for her friends. just now she was gazing over the heads of her companions toward the distant hills, her lips pnrsed up in a noiseless whistle. At the sudden silence, she turned, and said seriously, Let's lose himf' A look of incomprehension was her answer, and then, VVho ? Lose him ! lVhat do you mean ? UI think 'lose him' is simple English enough for your immature intel- lects to grasp, and 'whio?'-why, perhaps Fm wrong in thinking that you were talking about the Man. The girls met the rebuke in silence, till finally Agnes asked meekly, VVould you mind telling us h0tcf? ' Janet laughed gaily. Now, listen, good children. You want a long, happy holiday, you want a lunch under the elms, and a quiet stroll by the river. Wfell, why not? All that is in the way is a man, a mere man, who can very easily be lost for three O1',fO1.l1' hours, and then found and brought home again, if he doesn't find the way alonef' But how, my dear child? We can't just take him out and say, :Be lost., It will take all your cleverness, janet, to separate the Man from his class when it's out at Held work. But Janet answered firmly, Trust me for that, Manage to secrete necessary eatables among your scientific implements, and leave other details to mef' And because they had faith in her, they obeyed and waited. Janet's opportunity came early the next afternoon. The class, with their specimen cans, which the unsuspecting Man had every reason to think empty, had come blithely down the long sunny road, had climbed a straggling fence, and found themselves on a pleasant wooded hillside, sloping down to a brook that tumbled into the river .away beyond. Across the brook the wood divided and closed again, shutting in a triangle of pasture, where horses were biting short the tender grass. ln this pasture and in this wood were wild flowers in plenty, and of every variety, and the girls scattered at once in search of specimens,-trying in vain to elude the watchful eye of the Man, who, now here, now there, kept them all at work. Still it was twenty against one, and at length, as janet and Agnes were arguing with Dr. Von Blumelow as to the nature of a newly found specimen, a cry from the pasture of 'tVVhy, herels Firefly! brought a bevy of laughing girls flying down the hill. There in the farther corner of the pasture was Firefly, a college char- acterf He was old, and showed his age in jagged bones and rusty coat. Every morning now he was hitched to a rattling cart, and compelled to drag fresh vegetables to the college community, but his age was honored, for he was a veteran of the war, and there was still in his eyes something of the light with which they had once looked fearlessly upon death, and at the sound of martial music he would still arch his neck proudly, and his nostrils would quiver as if again the smell of powder were in the air. I-Ie had a friend in every student, and now the girls gathered about him, patting his rough neck, and pulling handfuls of tender grass for him. janet observed this, and saw her opportunity. Slipping back from Agnes and the Man, she hastily drew something from her specimen can, stooped a minute and then called excitedly, f'Oh, Dr. Von Blumelow, come here quick! Here is the funniest plant I ever saw. In a minute the Man and Agnes were bending over her shoulder, ex- amining the strange specimen. After one look Agnes gasped, opened her mouth, shut it, and looked at Janet, but the near-sighted professor gazed at it in perplexity, diligently searching his pockets the while. i'Strange,-ve-ry strange! It is evidently a variety of moss, but such as I never saw in this locality. I wonder where I could have put my pocket-microscope-Miss Thorsten, did not I lend it to 'you a moment ago P janet was all eager attention. VVhy, so you did, Dr. Von Blumelow, but Miss Mayville was working with me, and I believe she has it. Just a minute and I'll get it for you. And nodding to Agnes to follow, she slipped away behind the trees. Soon they were running with utmost speed toward the other girls, Agnes gasping breathlessly: K'VVhy-janet Thorsten! That was-only-one of the tassels-off that old curtain in the dorm. parlor !-How did you dare! 'What will he say-when he finds out ? But consequences never troubled janet, and she only hurried Agnes on the faster. Great was the laughter among the class, as, safe at last from detection, they heard of j'anet's ruse. They, too, thought little of the results of their frolic, and enjoyed the long afternoon to the utmost. They scattered, sauntering down the shadowfed alleys, lounging under the elms, or sailing leafy boats on the river, laughing like children at each shipwreck. Then a lunch was spread on the soft moss, and they lingered there long after the last morsel had disappeared, singing and talking till the' lengthening shadows warned them that the sun was near its setting. Reluctantly they gathered up their scattered cans, and started for home. The path along the river led them to the brook, and this in turn led' them back to the pasture and the wooded hill. As they came to the foot of the hill, Agnes was saying, I wonder how long the Man stayed before he discovered that he- was deserted and went home. Then she stopped abruptly. VVhy, what's this P For there on the ground at the edge of the brook lay the Manls soft black hat, and the Man's long black coat, and near them his specimen can, overflowing with specimens. The girls gathered round, half curious, half frightened, looking one to the other for an explanation. 'fVVhy, what can have happened F Do you think he has gone home and forgotten them ?', You don't suppose, do you, girls, that lle has d7'0iUlZ6d himself ? But just then the sound of hoofs in the pasture aroused them, and looking up, they were confronted by a sight that made them drop hastily dfown behind the underbrush, and after the first silence of bewilderment, shlake and sob with laughter. Such a thing Rose Hill had never seen be- fore, nor was likely ever to behold again. Cautiously the Botany class raised their heads for another glimpse, only to fall back again in parox- ysms of laughter. For there in the pasture was old Firefly, galloping as if for dear life, round and round the triangle, and seated on his bare back, straight, with head up and hair flying, was the Man, Dr. Von Blumelow, Ph. D., Head' of the Department of Biology of Rose Hill College, and as he came flying toward them, they saw that his eyes were shining, and he was laughing as if for pure joy! janet was the first to regain her composure. VVhy, of course! Don't you know it's said he used to' be a cavalry o-fhcer before he came to America to be a member of the Rose Hill faculty? He couldn't resist the temptation. See heow he's enjoying it! And Firefly is, too, for that matter. Bless their dear old hearts! And' they fell to watching thge strange pair again. But at last the Man turned Firefly toward the brook with an air that plainly said, All good things must end. Wfhen he had dismounted and crossed the brook, not a soul was in sight. Slowly he picked up hat, coat and can and, once more the grave professor, started up the hill. VVhen he was well out of hearing, the girls came out, one by one, from their hiding-places, and gazed after him as he disappeared among the trees. Finally janet spoke up firmly: Ulf any one of you dares to tell a soul at college what you've seen here, you need never again count on me to make up excuses for your church cuts, think up new ideas for your midnight spreads, or-or- make you any more sea-foain,--wer! The ultimatum was accepted in silence, and just as the sun slipped out of sight, the girls wearily began climbing the hill toward the college, stopping now and then for a fresh burst of merriment. There was some apprehension visible on the faces of the Botany class as they awaited the coming of their instructor the next morning, for the wrath of the Man was something to be feared. It was with a sigh of relief, therefore, that they saw hiim enter thfe room, seat himself at his desk, and open his notebook for the daily review as if nothing had hap- pened to break the monotony of their work. But it was with a somewhat different emotion that they heard him say in mild reproof a little later: Young ladies, constant review is the secret of acquiring thorough knowledge. It is not well to let that which is once yours escape you. AN AFTERNOON IN DECEMBER. A little whiff of spring across the winter fields, A breath of springtime life across the year!

It I WN may be a new one. I VVhen introducing people at the f'Stand-up, take pains to mumble the names so that no one will understand them. This is expected of you. New professors, especially young ones, should wear some insignia of office. Otherwise they might be taken for Freshmen. The library should be used for literary purposes only. The alcoves are not intended for spoon-holders. The entire student body is expected to maintain an attitude of profound respect for the Facultys dogs. They are each distinguished for many remarkable traits of character and should not be slightingly discussed. Boarders at Shipherd Hall will be expected to find fault with all the food that is served them. Only by doing this can they show their epicu- rean tastes and gain prestige in society. All young men upon entering college should immediately make appli- cation for membership in thc Two-by-Two Club. This organization is most useful in developing the aesthetic side of the studentsl nature. For membership blanks, apply to E. L. Betts. It shall be the duty of the Faculty to maintain an attitude of platonic friendship toward all students, especially in particular cases. Conservatory steps are to be used only as a means of access to the building, and not as Cupid's playground. In case on any occasion there should arise a controversy between mem- bers of the Faculty, any students who may be present, will please with- draw as quickly and as quietly as possible. There are some things their young eyes should not behold. It will be the utmost breach of propriety for any one to question whfo has written any of the articles in the Annual. Wfhere a revelation of the identity of the author is desirable, his name will appear at the end of the article. Any undue curiosity will be considered the height of rudeness. INFORMATION BUREAU.

All correspondents who enclosed stamps have been answered in private. lldfriss M. A. H.: It is difficult to tell what preparation is the best. Most of these anti-fat remedies contain deleterious substance. I would advise dieting and plenty of exercise instead. Mr. C. C. K.: I would advise a careful study of history as an antidote for diseases of the heart. LUV. E. A. fl'1'1l0ZLZ1Z Your case of overstudy requires immediate attention. I advise a mod- erate amount of walking each day at twilight. If you could secure a trustworthy friend to accompany you on such trips, it might be con- ducive to calming your overworked nerves. D11 H. A. JU.: It is a good thing to make a psychological study of the dog. It is only fair to the genus dog, however, to experiment on one that is at least ordinarily intelligent. Prof. T. PV. N.: It is well to give compre- hensive examinations. In order to make them a reasonable length, however, I would suggest that you request your students to quote the en- tire play. This would avoid the unnecessary waste of time caused by trying to locate only every other clause. I would advise for this purpose the use of the Blue Books, which are used now in other great universities. Probably twenty books per student would be sufficient. llfiss H. N ctt'IJci'1'y: Une so young should not attempt so many college sub-- jects. You should take a few minutes at least each day, for the development of the aesthetic side of your nature. Do not al- low yourself to become dwarfed morally and spiritually in your eagerness to develop intellectually. NIV. Pain: judging from your lengthy and philosophical letter, I think you regard life too seriously. To use a somewhat hack- neyed college expression, jolly upl'-if not for your own sake, for that of your friends. llliss Alice B. : It is well to have conversational knowledge on all sub- jects. It is not well, however, to discuss them all at once on every occa- sion. Iliff.

Brown's ons is at Kolige. Thay is 4 things that'l nock a fellar in shape fer a life run,- books, th wurld, an God. Books'l stick a part uv th alfabet on ur reputashun, an label u like a jar uv soft soap under th pure food lawg but ur left like a calf thet's been brot up on a self-feedr, aluz lookin fer sum one tu nl th pail. Sutch a man is most aluz eazy. Then th wurld'l nock th korners down, but it skrapes off a lot uv good hide befor ur smooth. An th fellar hoo is ground down with facs stiks his thums in th vest holes uv a self-made man, not noin thet Adam wuz th only genuwin, an he depended on his wife a good deel. Th wurdly man is stingy an narrow. An sum time Godtl whisper tu u an make u feel sif u wuz sumbudy, but doan't take it tu serius, fer when u find ur only a du drop on th grate oshun uv humanity, u'l think th wurld's playin peek-a-boo with u. Th Godly man we kawl pious. Now these kind may suksede ef u doan't fence in sukses, but th lst man won't leeve eny monie fer a monument g the Zd won't leeve enything tu put on itg an th 3d won't hav eny frends tu put l up. Kolige givs u awl 3 uv these in sutch a way thet u kum out uv the loom with th cotton twisted so u doan't see it, an ur usually about 38 in. wide. . Th 4th thing whitch u must hav fer sukses is 'lgood taylorin Awl men hoo ware good klose doan't suksede, but all men hoo suksede ware good klose. Brown is the taylor hoo is puttin out th best values fer th monie. He is gittin th best fits, an is usin up-tu-date fash- uns an patterns. Th best dressers in Olivet is Brown's kustomers. His tay- lors is Carl Joseph SL Co., th best in th wurld. Thay garantee tu sewt u. Doan't komit sewyside frettin about dyin. lt's like throin a boomerang at ur shadow, an it kums back an cuts ur hed off. Sum folks buy cheep klose bekaws thare cheep, but thare cheetin thare- selves. Sum fellars think bekaws thare workin hard thet good klose is inkon- sistent, but Brown kan dress u better an cheeper, an u won't feel like th last patch uv poverty on th pants uv tilanthropy. Ef u wuz brot up in a hayfeld, u needn't aluz hav chaf in ur hair. Carl Joseph St Co. make th klose thet make th man. Brown has Several hunderd samples uv thares. Kawl on him an he'l du u good. Th man hoo suksedes has at his kor- nerstone a few cheef facs, an Carl Joseph SL Co. o tu thare good taylorin a few littl pertikulars whitch make thare klothin better than eny uther. Thay'l remake free uv charge eny koat whitch doan't hold its shape, an thaytl reline eny garment whitch doan't prove satis- faktry. Now, then, es a bizness propo- sishun fer this yeer an nixt, u kantt du better than tu let Brown hav ur order fer a sewt. He ofers sutch a variety uv samples thet a klothin store ez big ez th Kolige woodn't hold th sewts made up. Remember, u kan hev ur klose taylor made tu meashur by th best taylors in th wurld, an u kan get 'em made so tu save monie. U kan dress ez good ez enybudy ef u no how.
