S BY BLAIR LEE, MD. . --o-- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :-It-is a pleasant duty to welcome you to Princeton, and to these exercises. One phase of our stu- 'dent-life-the study side, the real object of our being here-is celebrated on Commencement Day. On Class Day another, the social, human side, has its occasion. , As our feeling for one another, which intensifies as separation comes, has all along been a Spontaneous growth, rising from sympathy and increased by merit, so has this day, without, restriction and from time past memory, been placed by an indulgent Faculty at the disposal of -each class. At last our day has come, in which the pleasantries -of college life must have their climax. May you enjoy them too. Right glad are we to see you here, right sad are we to part. For four years college has been our world 3 a mere rehear- .sal of life, perhaps, but in the Spring-time of it, when the heart is tender and feels witha more generous impulse than it may thereafter have. This separation is to many the first of the marked changes all .are subject to in real life. Its sadness is only lessened by the hope, that from its beginning here our interest in one another may continue always, and by mutual acts of kindness every man -of us may learn to know, that in each classmate he has a true, enduring friend. ' Where resolution, honesty and intelligence are needed, the Class of '80 hopes to do its life-work. May their power be as -efficient there as it has been simple and unostentatious here. Uncontrolled through all this time by any set or clique, each 1 6 THE N.4ss.4 U HERALD. man has acted in his independent capacity. Qualities such as these are ever in demand. May they be' used to perpetuate the free institutions of this continental country. For this, not only are Virtue, intelligence and economy essential, as the base of indi- vidual and national independence, but there must be in addition an innate love for self'-government, the blessings it confers, and a courage coolly to meet the extremists who from time to time assail the nation's integrity or the people's rights. Elevate poli- tics from a business to. the highest duty of -American citizenship. Sustain your country. with a generous, patriotism, and, ever main- taining right vigorously, as has been your wont, whatyou believe to be the truth, do your part- in the glorious progress of repub- lican government towards its ultimate perfection. This is our parting scene. To share its pleasures and solace its sorrow once again, you are welcomed here. And when towards the end you 'note the 'grasping hand, the kindling eye, know that there is beneath more than on the surface. shows. 1 . QITIE NASSA U HERALD. 7 Cnass QRATION. , BY IRVING P. WITHINGTON OF NEW JERSEY. ' LADIES AND GENTLEMENA:-Concerning our class, to Whom I am about to say a ffew parting words, there has been as much said as would suffice for a long course of lectures, and as much written as would almostfurnish a library. .Where is thetongue and ,Where the pen which has not been swift to' discuss her future ? iWe are 'too near to read her destiny' clearly and impartially--to praise 'or criticise. A class, to be accurately judged, must be looked at through the haze of years, when college life is a thing of the past 3 when the excitement of a Class Dayhas subsided, and when the world has tried uswith its fire., To-day another class comes together as a, class for the last time, and 'from a full heart bids farewell to her college daysedays so free from all re- sponsibility , so pleasantly, and, perchance, profitably passed. The last recitation-room has been left, the last examiner has gone his Way. Yet what need to look behind, and to sigh ? f We have yet a few songs to singatogether, and a little jollity. CLASSMATES :-In bidding you farewell, your classmate appre- ciates the responsibility you have so kindly imposed upon him. He has not selected any grand theme as has at times been custom- ary, neither has he prepared la polished and learned oration. But if, by anything that may be found' here, there may be awakened in the hearts of any one an impulse that maynot be a transient one, but a lasting and useful guide when we have left these scenes of pleasantness, and through us may direct others, he shall feel doubly repaid. ' i . We need not say farewell to-day, and yet the hour of parting is so near wefeel the straining of the chain that soon must break. x s THE NA ss.4 U HERA LD. And when to the class of good old '80 the solemn hour of sep- aration comes, when on the mind crowd all the memories of our college days-our common toil, or sports and merry songs-the thought that these will ne' er be more, causes us to stop and think, andregret that we cannot live them over again. Our vacations are over. Soon we part, never all to meet here again. The partingto some will be joyful, but will there not be a little sor- row mingled with that joy? Is it not a hard thing to part with friends with whom you have spent the happiest and freest years that we will ever experience '? The best of us, we think, are but beginning to iind out how little We know-to appreciate the vast- ness of the work beforerus-andwe are yet to learn by expe- rience how this duty must be done. Heretofore, life has been but a dream ,T now we see it coming upon us with all its reality. We are about to go forth into the world. May she deal With us gently and kindly. AJ oy and sorrow, success and adversity will not be meted out to all alike, nor can any one of us hope toex- perience joy unmingled with sorrow. Whether we are prepared, depends much on our faithfulness here. We have been told that what we have acquired here we may exchange for things' needed in life, that what we have gone through with here is typical of that which We shall experience hereafter in life. This little world of ours, to which we are now saying good-bye, has been a lively one to us 5 it has taught us to think and act for ourselves. And to those of us who have not taken. advantage of our every op- portunity, we would say, now is a 'last chance for us. If we have not done right, is that any reason why we shall never do right? Shall we thus permit our manhood to mope and decay ? Not so I Let us now make resolves, and thus continue to strive. This, then, is the most critical time of our lives. Much of future character and destiny is wrapped in decisions now made. As Shakspere has it, f A H There is a tide in the aifairs of men, Whicli, taken at the fiood, leads on to fortune' , Omitted, all the voyage of life Is bound in shallows and in iniserie-S. I.i.fefS character, then, must be determined by the passage ot 'I QTIE NASSA U HERALD. 9 critical periods. These periods have ever marked the history of humanity. Even in the persons of our first parents it stood in Eden , and there, future destiny hinged upon personal choice. And that old story is lived over againi in every man, s experience , for 'C every man is an Adam, and Ries are just as plentiful as apples, and sometimes quite as tempting. ' , , Just as we choose, then, when the choice is put to us, and 'live lives of obedience or disobedience, can we make our pathway bloom with flowers or bristle with thorns. Standing, as we do, on the dividing line between college work and life work , look- ing back with tender memories and forward with apprehension, let us see that we are prepared for the conquests we must make. To each one, in accordance with his circumstances and disposition, is given a work, forthe accomplishment of which he is held responsiblep WVe must realize that we live for something, that by seeking ease and comfort we cheat ourselves and defraud the world. Alas, how many men we have seen who waste their lives in strenuous idleness , forever working, yet never achiev- ing. If we could but realize the importance of an active life- its effects upon ourselves and upon others, we would think the span of life too short, and complain that we had not time to do more. There is- room for all, from the highest to thelowest. The work of the past has been great, but it has not by any means yet been completed-for humanity has a course to run, a destiny to accomplish. , 'We, then, have something more to live for than a name, more to strive for than riches, and more to long for than power. We have our fellow-men to serve and defend, their sufferings to allay, our religionto support, our God to glorify. Grand questions, which in their issue and solution stretch out into the ages of an unwasting eternity, will press upon our attention. There will be periods in our life when the interests of two worlds-this and the next-will seem to come into collision, times when princi- ple and policy, or even passion, will wage war upon our spirit's battle-field ,T times when we must be outspoken for truth, stern in our detestation of all that is false or base, times when we must know that success' gained at the expense of principle is in 10 THE NASSA U HERALD. e reality failure, and failure, while maintaining the right, is in very deed success. And then, when you have entrusted your soul to its Maker, look not in upon yourself, but outward toward your kin. Be honest and kindly toward your fellow-men. You have received, to them impart, for to have is to lose, while to give is to gain. This is the dilference between the higher and the lower manhood. 4 . Influences which are thrown around us in the years of our college life are vital, almost critical, in their power over the fu- ture of our being. We look upon a classmate, he may be unconscious of his solemn stewardship 5 you have sat by his side in the class-room for four happy years, and looked into those eyes and yet saw nothing. Look again, a fewyears after. The life-work has been chosen, and there is going on that steady struggle for its accomplishment. This classmateiis becoming a. power among his fellow-men. He has learned with full heart to labor for others. He has learned tobe useful in that position in life in which his Maker has placed, him. And who shall say how much we are indebted to early associations, the philosophy of parental rule, and to that retinue of circumstances which guards us, just as we are emerging from the dreamland of college life into the actual experiences of every-day life? Can you tell what fortunes await you, classmates? The interpreting years willrishow them to you. What is the secret of their power? Just this, the consecration of their every energy to the one pur- pose upon which their life was offered a sacrifice. And for this cause they have labored without ceasing. n , Your life-path may be toilsome and gloomy, but it will grow brighter at every step you take. The road that leads onward and upward maybe steep, but it is a starry one, too. Climb the steeps bravely, and stars shall yet flash upon your brows. g Urge on thy way with dauntless hearts, for faith in the right upholds and cheers you. U Keep pushing.

Our lives begun in different homes, have inet in the stream' of college life, our barks have floated side by side for many a happy hour 3 sunny skies have been above us often, and When, perchance, We thought ourselves imposed upon, and When the storms that sometimes arose came upon us, soon We glided out of them and again rejoiced. But four short years have borne us to the river's mouth, and now before us lies an ocean that We have not tried-the restless sea of active life. We long and yet dread' to try the voyage that We must begin. And here We all must part. We leave these scenes of joyous youth, our much-honored president and our professors. u n To them We return ourl heartfelt thanks for all that they have been to us and done for us. And to those of our college mates Who, When We are' gone, are to fill our places, upon -Whose shoulders rests the care of Princeton's literature and athletics, to them We as a .class say farewell. a May success attend their every effort. And' We Who are thus forced by time to leave all these, must each on his oWn chosen course set forth, but all With hoping hearts. h May We -have reason 'nowto hope that our college dreams may soon come true, that the friendships We have formed here may still continue to binds us together, and that the promptings of brotherly love may lead us on to a still closer union, in' Which all that is dark in the past shall be forgotten 3 all that Was Wrong forgiven, and the future may be ripe- With fruits of good and glorious achievements, is the Wish of your classmate. 12 THE Nasal U HERALD.

How we need it in all departments: some motive to give life- direction, some sovereign aim to give it constancy. One's heart aches to look upon the lives of men and women and see how pur- poseless, oftentimes worse than purposeless, they are. Rudder-- less ships, which bear precious freight, but only drift with the current, or iride restlessly t around the narrow limits of the whirlpool.

It gives to life balance, symmetry and momentum. It gathers up into. one effort the wasted and unproductive forces, and there is immense power in energy concentrated. As in busi- ness it is the specialist, so in life it is often all the men,of one idea that to-day succeed. We need not only the power to achieve, but the will to do. Human life offers numerous avenues of growth and usefulness, holds out on every side splendid oppor- tunities, and men must voyage on rough seas sometimes to grasp and use them.

BY JOHN BARCLAY KEENAN, PA. i-9.1 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN 5--Since our historian has so kindly explained a11d so fully illustrated the workings of the new regu- lations in regard to Class Day exercises, it remains for-me to add but a few words on that subject, and those words shall be, prin- cipally, words of deep gratitude.f In former days historians, prophets, even presentation orators, had actually indulged in per- sonalities, and one or two of them-bold, bad young men-ehad, in -a ghastly way, attempted afew mild jokes. Cf' course, the Class of' '80, with the consent of the Faculty, resolved to put a stop to such disgraceful proceedings. Then the question arose, What, sort of exercises should we have? Should Eli be allowed to tell the story of the 'Democratic Congressman and his remark- able stock of clothes? Should Cress and Cully relate their boating experience? Should Sheldon make a few simple remarks upon the Deanthropomorphization of' the Individual- istic Ego ? 'Cr should Paden repeat his criticism of the life, character, works and end of the late lamented Judas, with direct application to the cases of Messrs, Davidson, Hardin and Stud- diford? These, and many other schemes, were proposed and referred by the -class to a committee composed of Crist Blair, that massive intellect that decides all disputed questions in the College of' New Jersey. He, after due deliberation, took unto himself two other equally massive intellects, viz., Butch Bryan and Jim, the great weather prophet and apple vendor. They reported in writing-strange, but true,-against the other plans, and recommended that instead Butch Bryan ought to get off' his famous sell, in which, you know, he offers some one a cigar, 16 THE NASSA U HERALD. asking, Do you smoke ?7' ln nineteen out of twenty well-auf thenticated cases an affirmative answer is given, and the victim joyfully reaches for the weed. But Butch puts it in his pocket, and blandly remarks, H Ah I so does Mike Dunn? This report was rejected unanimously because of the originality of the spell- ing, which showed plainly that Dick Conover had been called in to assist the committee, and then, too, it was thought that to ap- preciate Butch' s sells,lrequired a more intimate acquaintance with him than was hoped any of our visitors hadj 5 At this stage of the game, the Faculty being on the 'C in loco parenifis '7 racket again, came to our relief, and furnished a great many suggestions, ---T think, they called them-and plans, and all that sort of gratis entertainment, for which we can never be too grateful. A few instances of their kindness may, perhaps, not be out of place here. For example, one of them QI don't believe any of you can guess his namuelthought we ought, per- haps, to have one joke, to be gotten off in sections, each speaker doing a fair share of the work. He even offered as a splendid joke of his, one that belonged to his professorship. His prede- cessor had used it. He himself had used it, with fearful eH'ect', upon thirty-tive classes, and it was good for thirty-tive more. Why, it had never been known to fail. In fact, it was about the dizaiest joke he had ever heard. That settled it. VVe eX- plained that very likely' the Lynde Debaters-Pussy Parkhill, J im Galbraith and that crowd-a few of the Glee Club, and some stray' members of '81 would be present, and on their account it Wouldn7t be rightto have anything so violently exciting. Another Professor offered us stacks of poetry: all about the still, sad music of lhumanityf ' He thought it would add greatly to the general effect if we would refer to that topic about every three minutes.. Then the Professor of Pumps, Plank-walks and Pinnacles brought a tin bucketful of art lectures, which he assured us, whether read from the beginning to the end, or from the end to the beginning, or from the middle in both direct-ions at once, were equally interesting and instructive. And then he wandered away to his pleasant task of running barbed wires across our favorite short-cuts, and sprinkling coal ashes over ll l l l 1 I l i 4Anf.,..,... M., ,M ,...a........, l....-...--- e-ina 'gm -,N ,.,,,nf-'funn-i4llb-win-' THE NASSA U .HERALD 17 the paths. However, we took his word for it, as we had once before taken that of an old gentleman, who told us in strictest confidence, that i He was a wandering sheep, he did not love the fo-ld. 4 , Out of the materials thus kindly furnished the addresses of to- day have been manufactured. Then, too, as was suggested,'the speeches' have been submitted to the inspection of the Faculty and the Class Day Committee. Why, even Devereux looked through them, managed to spell out some of the little words, and I fear his hands were then about as clean as usual. - But I amafraid our overwhelming gratitude is carrying us too far away from the real business of this day. Let me but add,ithat I hope you will appreciate the high morality of all these pro- ductions, for they contain not a trace of agnosticism, pantheism, heresy or popery. Personalities, offensive and defensive, have been carefully excluded. And as for the vulgarity over which the Faculty went so wild, I assure youis confined entirely to J im McC'onkey's speech, and Bliss' 'Class Ode. r Now let us turn our whole attention 'to that remarkable group of young men who to-day are gathered to receive the rewards of four years' hard smoking, steady-floating, careful shenannygag- ging and other accomplishments, that will appear as we proceed. They are known to the New York reporters as the demons -of ?8O, called so from a certain playfulness exhibited by them in earlier life, especially in Sophomore year. A little more than half the demons graduate this year, a few will get diplomas next year, and the rest-but was it not honor enough for them to have belonged to '8O? These demons pride themselves chiefly upon their skill in athletics, and they have quite a' number of athletes of all shapes and sizes, ranging from the gigantic J or- dan, -the hammer-tlirower, down to the diminutive Brotherlin, the double trapeze and feather-weight man, including, of course, Tewksbury, the pegfpole climber, Duncan at dancing school, where the Freshman would tramp his toes, Bill Schenck, behind the ,home-plate, and Stanley before -a dinner-plate, and most of all, the great Jim Anderson, in his unrivaled performances upon, . A B 18 THE NASSAU HERALD. the back-stop in the snob base-ball ground. Yet from this list I must really exclude Guillon, who should have picked the crew, played third base on the nine, and taken heaps of prizes, as he no doubt would have, had he only roomed in Northeast. Of course I cannot reward all these men, yet if such J ATHLETES ' a as John WVilds, lVIacLaren, Judge Horton, Poller Greene and Massey will step up, I7ll do my best for them. This is John Wilds, gymnast, physically, mentally, morally. 'His record is immense. Did he not once run three miles with the Hare and Hounds? Did he not get lost and get sick, and sleep in a barn? And didnit an old farmer bring him home next day in a spring wagon? Then, too, hasn' t John got about themost gymnastic conscience in this College? In Fresh. year, after handing in a perfect Greek paper, he meekly and quietly wentdown to the fourth division. Still later he sold his room to a confiding Junior for316.50, and when that Junior came to take possession the room contained just one wooden bracket and a U Mfugf' The amount of good advice that John scatters around during Lit. elections is equalled only by his hard luck at all other elections. His only rival, as far as pure brute strength goes, is Greene. To see these two men in the Gymnasium is in- deeda sight. VVhile John swings all the-dumb-bells at once, Greene amuses himself by putting up all the biggest Indian clubs. But their strong pointis when they are outside of the Gym. with the hammer and the shot. After much thought, I have concluded that for them I can find no more appropriate gifts than these: To John, this medal for throwing the hammer --the'tack-hammer--across his room 5 to Greene, this one for putting the shot--the buck-shot--five feet. Both, as tin' as I know, the- best-on-record scores. MacLaren was Captain and stroke of la.st year's 'Varsitxy but now pulls No. 2. Yet he didnlt come in iirst at Philadblphia last summer, but that's easily explained. His crew was thc best on the water 5 of course it was. Why, it was laughable to sec those spindle-shanked Philadelphians and those wrecks from Columbia row! The idea of their beating the Captain and his THE NABSA U HERALD. 19 big, nice, heavy, fat crew was too absurd! The whole trouble was this: The Captain is a very gallant man. Close be- hind the boats at the start was a tug crowded with ladies. It was a very slow tug, and the boats were rapidly leaving it. Cf course the Captain was too polite to deprive the ladies of a view of the race, and to leave such a crowd of females alone and un- protected. For thoughts of pirates twith which the Schuylkill -swarmsQ,lvisions of distressed damsels sold into slavery to the barbarous Turks, rushed over him. He stopped, waited for the tug, and gallantly escorted it to a place of safety. That day not a woman was lost, kidnapped or stolen 5 not a pirate dared show his head. Thus,politeness.won the day, but Pennsylvania won the race. Yet had Mac acted differently, he knew we never Would have forgiven him. This year I am happy to state that a very fast tug has been engaged for the occasion, and it will start ahead of the boats at the' rate of armile a minute, and-well, we shall see what we shall' see. In the meantime, take these me- mentoes., Now here's a Captain who hasn' t been so generally noted for his politeness, at least not until a.fter that day when he stalked into the library with his hat pulled down over his ears, and was asked by the sweetly-smiling chief librarian if he were not from the West ?', Judge, expecting some grand compliment, proudly answered that he was. Then to his amazement the librarian only said, Ah! I thought so. Gentlemen from the East take off their hats in a place like this. That hat came oil, and Judge, thoroughly disgusted, hurried out of the library, vowing he would never go there again. Since then things have changed wonderfully. I know not how it came about, but now Judge spends all his time in and around the library, and takes off his hat as soon as he comes in sight of that building. Indeed, Judge, you've greatly improved, and all you need now, to enable you to reach perfection, is to diligently peruse this little book, whose title, in some parts of the West, is pronounced etteek, and in other parts ettfilcettee-call it what you please, only read it. This is the great Massie-a real Ohio man. Not only do we all love him for that, but we admire also his reckless, dare-devil 20 . THE NASSA-U HERALD. bravery. He claims by his courage to have saved more human lives than any other man in college. We believe it, and wish to place a few cases on record. How, in Fresh. year, when an infuriated mob of three Freshmen Qabout the size of ' Pretty J ack- sonj, returning from a horn-spree, .were about to demolish Mat. Goldie, Massie crawled boldly into the shadow of the Qbserva- tory and cried, Oh, Mr. Goldie, we're just going home. Come on, fellowsf, That, Massie, was indeed a noble act, but you outdid yourself when you led us toward the Junction, fi. e., as far as the canal. p There, I unfortunately, you heard that' the Freshmen Qwhom we were afterj were 'big fellows, were ready for us, were armed with thosepodious things called clubs, and those hateful things known as pistols, and that you would make pa splendid target. Was it nervousness ? Why did you seek the rear, and beg-the boys to do nothing rash? When at the Junc- tion you sawthe mighty Caesar Augustus Rodney Subathoo India 'Janvier prancing around, blood in his eye, murder in his heart, bad words on his lips, and his hands full of stones, you fled- no, not fled-you retreated hastily, .crawled under the platform at the freight depot, and were induced to' come out about five hours after the Freshmen had gone. Those Freshmen undoubt- edly owe their lives to you alone, for had you only led us on we would have settled their cases, but without you we were power- less. 1 Then, again, only this Winter you saw how we all suffered from the 'college choir, of which Beasley was the arch-fiend. You pitied us, and avenged our woes on Beasley. Not that you loved Beasley less, but that you loved us a hea.p more. Let us hope that he is now suffering some little of the misery he once inflicted upon us. In fact, we all owe our lives to you. Wfere these the days of chivalry we might knight you, we might even dub you a Chief of the Noble Order of D. F.'s 5 but those days are past, so you, ll have to content yourself with the lite-saving medal of the Humane Society, for having on so many ocousioiis taken such great care of the life of David M. Massie. While we're on these melancholy tnemes you might as well seo t GIST BLAIR. Those of you who have tears to shed will please hit hor up and NIE Nfissfi U HERALD. 21 prepare to shed them now, while Grist ambles up to the front. You all do know this--suppose we say garment. You do not? WVhy, it belonged to Banks, one of our ,old Scientifs 5 the fresh- rest man I ever saw. I remember the last time ever Banks put it on. 'Twas on an Autumn evening in Fresh. year, in his room. That night he and Grist Blair led a little band of Freshmen to the Prep. ,school to steal ducks. They had so much fun. When they started it was very dark and cold, then it soon began to rain. Things got funnier every minute. , They couldn't find the ducks 5 but Banks soon found a sort of an old sewer, 11. e., 'he found himself standing up to his neck in it., I-Iis, friends dragged him out, made him keep to the windward of them, and went to see if they could steal a pig or a cow 'g but the pig -made so much noise, and the cow looked so fierce, that they gave it up. Then it was decided to take every chicken on the place. Before this little plan was fully carried out, Banks yelled that -some one was coming, threw off his hat and coat and ran across a ploughed field toward Kingston, closely followed by Grist, who had a chicken under his arm. The others, with more chickens, -soon overtook Grist, and came back to Princeton, where next day 'fSundayj they had a feast. Sweet, sad memories-such as those bilious young orators this morning told you ,clung around dear old North, and the dear old cannon, and Jim Gralbraith, and things in that line-such memories, I say, clung around those -six ancient hens, for in this land of old tough chickens they were the oldest of the old, the toughest of the tough. Take this, Gist, a memento of your .skillful generalship, of our poor .scared friend, ofthe avalanche 'of fun weihad that night. Whether the sweet-scented, coatless Banks isistill running, I know not, but as I haven't seen him since, I suppose he is. Yet, that you may not mistake him for . ' MORDECAI, THE WANDERING JEW, . fthe exile from Manhattan Beach, I' will show you that gentle- man. This is Mordecai--a great man, an editor, a great editor, -editor of the Clippings in The Pfincetonian. ' I believe it 'was Aristotle, or Sam I-Iilliard, or 'Ben Vaughn , or some of that -crowd, who once said, The pen is mightier than the sword 5 22 THE Nassa U HERALD. but, George, your scissors can discount any pen. By the unani- mous opinion of the college your deportment was held to contain the best4-in fact, some thought the only good-English in The Przfncetomian. Often, indeed, you managed to punctuat-e whole' sentences, getting even the period in its proper place-a thing' almost unknown- in they other departments, for I understand it was the custom of - that magnificent board of editors to omit about two-thirds of the commas, periods, quotation marks, Sac., in certain numbers of their paper, and then put them at random into the next number, thus giving your paper the spicy, devil- may-care appearance that every true college paper should have, Some think Blee' originated this idea, and I' m inclined to give him the credit for it, and give you-mucilage and shears. You saw how dignified Dunning Was. The same dignity will now be sh.own by two of , his BROTHER Enitronis, Fine ananedges. i 1 This is the only man in college that has a Greek consciousnessf' How he came by it I know not. I hope he got it honestly. i Tis to the use he makes of it that I would call your attention. It has made him the greatest philologist in college. A single example of his work may sufhce. He took the old root gig, the stem a of the Greek word 25000-H 2500-0-which you know means either a goose-gizzard or something half-way between a sardine and a 'fsnoozerfi He traced it into Chinese, where it means green hair-dye and lots of it 3 then into Choctaw, where it stands for a man who blesses a five-cent plate of ice cream before he eats it, and so on through all languages. Yet with all this work he's had time enough to take lst for four straight years, and be managing editor of The PQ'-in,cetonia.o1.. Next Wednesday he'll try to palm off a lot of gibberish and slang for ai Latin salutatory 5 but most of you will be too sharp to believe him, Another gift I intended for you, but you will have to solace yourself with this club with which the Trinity exclmnge- editor used to belabor every issue of your paper. Now, whileLI attend to Hedge's wants will you be kind enough to send Weed and that multitudinously-named young man, John Charles Fremont Royer, this way ? THE NASSA U HERALD. 23 This is Hedges--a man of unspeakable depravity. I can't see where he got moral character enough to be a J. O. He is as noisy as Henderson, as cheeky as Fred Clark, and hasn't the kind, paternal look of Brotherlin and Butch Bryan. tHe has had more roommates than any other man in college, and to-day those roommates Qwith. the exception of Jack Lealj are moral wrecks--all through Hedgeis influence. Ellis, not only did you assail Leal's impregnable virtue and render thoroughly vicious the pure minds of Voorhis, Jersey here and the ven- erable f'Peter Cooper, but on last 22d of February you tried to corrupt the college in wholesale style by defaming and ridi- culing the character of X George BWV. Your profane remarks were properly frowned' upon by the Faculty. But, Hedges, don't you remember how, a couple i of thousand years ago, the Athen- ians got even with a bad old man who corrupted their youth? Know you not that history repeats itself? That to every Soc- rates, to every corrupter of youth, there comes at last a Xantippe and a bad dose of hemlock? I have tried to do the square thing by you. Williiigly would I have procured you both, but, thank heaven,.the race of Xantippes hasdisappeared, and I have for you only this draught of hemlock. Drink it this evening, and, if it don' t prove fatal, come around in the morn- ing, and I'll give you an order on a lumber yard at the basin. .Next in order come our b .- T sAGEs. The Ding an Sich and the great Darwinian. The Ding an Sichv is famous for a good many things, principally for being able to talk longer, say less and make his meaning more unin- telligible than any person-not a member of the Faculty. Some have been cruel enough to insinuate that the Ding, cite., doesn't mean anything when he talks, but talks only that he may hear the sound of his own sweet voice-and it is a sweet voice-yet I don't feel like turning him loose upon this audi- ence. For you, Weed, I had thought of getting a piece of tongue 5 but I reflected that tongue wasn' t what you needed-a little brains was your most pressing want, and a supply of brain- food would be a perfect godsend to you. Take my advice, then 5 24 I THE NASSA U IIERALD. 1 live on phosphorus for the next couple of centuries, eat fish, parlor matches, dmc., and begin on these. I forgot to say that in the highest flights of philosophy the Ding au Sich 7' is per- fectly at home. 'The infinite, the unknown and the unknowable are just his meat. But here is a philosopher of a different stamp '-one who deals with practical questions. He is, as you per- ceive, an Ohio man, and remarkable in that he is the only Ohioan who to-day is not holding or running for an office. I must beg his pardon for calling him a Darwinian, for that might imply that he is notstrictly original in his views 5 yet he resem- bles Mr. Darwin in not having any troublesome religious views, in loving to wrestle with the question of the descent of man, and in having framed a grand hypothesis in connection with that subject. ' His hypothesis is as follows: From the great Hrst germ to the perfect type of -manhood he finds but four steps. Hirst. From the primordial Ileibnitzian mound to the tumble- bug. Secondly. From the tumble-bug to the Ohio man. Thirdly. From the Ohio man tothe chimpanzee. Fourzfltly and lastly. From the chimpanzee to that awful height upon which, in lov- ing embrace, with arms around each other's necks, stand J ack .Van Dyke, Heineken and Fatty White. For that hypothesis I have nothing but praise, yet how, O John Charles 'Fremont, .according to it do you evolve this gum-belt upon which'D1'. Brackett kept you working for six long weeks ? Every day the Doctor added another pound weight .to the belt, and every day you remeasured it, until at last your failing health compelled you to drop physics and take history. Take it, J011115 and, in connection with your philosophical studies, resume your physi- cal researches, and report to usat the next centennia.l. Next will appear'Sam Maires, our great A r MUsroIAN, K' who, has practiced on the violin for thirteen years, with slight improvement. He used to take lessons in a place called Trentoii 3 go down there every Saturday, and come up in the Owl 3'-' until his class officer, getting wind of it, summoned Sain, alwuuggrl hilu of frequenting Trenton 3 and when Sam explained that he went THE NASSA U HEIRALD. 25 on business, Dr. Atwater only said, with ja mournful sigh, Uh, Mr. Maires, they all tell me thatf, That stopped those trips. But Sam' s strong point is difficult passages from the old masters and elsewhere. There he excels. He practices them regularly. Every morning he awakens the slumbering echoes in the cellar of lVitherspoon, and a little later appears to receive the congratu- lations of his friends upon his good luck 5 a sight which moved the stony-hearted Poller Greene to express his joy in an epitaph, which I have nottime to give. Nor, Sam, have I forgotten how, in a Fresh. year prayer-meeting, you warmed up, and asked that there might be a little maiden for each one of us. Nor how the fervent amen that came from your enraptured classmates, showed what a tender chord you had touched. As your little maiden does not seem to have appeared yet, console. yourself with this one and these musical instruments Qfiddle and P. P. P. PJ Now we are ready' for Boss Ingram and William J. Gibson. Boss, besides running an extensive Sunday-school on days when it doesn't rain pitchforks, has done a great many wonderful things. I once saw him try to jump across Stony Brook. I-Ie did it in two jumps. The lirst jump left him in three feet of cold, running water. Boss excels as an ' ORATOR, though not in the same line with Governor, who, before the late election, addressed a crowd of Princeton darkies as follows: N Friends, brothers, fellow-citizens, for I guess Ican call you fellow-citizens, as the Democrats ,haven't disfranchised me yet. Friends, I come from Pennsylvany, and Pennsylvany is a mighty good State to come from. Then the Governor, as usual, jumped the track, and with sixty-three double gestures and twenty-seven single ones, pra.ised some great Republican for being, all by him- self, a brilliant galaxy of shining satellites, and wound up by describing that wonderful animal called a collateral votef' and the process of N perforation. No wonder the Democrats carried that election. Nor can Boss talk as fast as Billy Miller did about Cuba, nor does he pronounce his English after the manner of Eddy, the wild Syrian, the hungry scientif.

This is .Bill Gibson our POET, The poet of the Newark Daily Advertiser. His poems are gen- crally fragmentary, but on such familiar subjects that I know you'll be glad to hear them. His finest effort is an Introduction to an epic on Base-ball, in which are mentioned the favorite occupations of some classmates, yet Gibson afterwards saw fit to entitle it: LINES ON FINDING, BILL SCHENCK AT THE BALL-GROUND? . Awake I oh, Bill Schenck, leave all meaner things To Cutts and Bland, the foot-ball kings. Let Mac and the H Molly U live on the Raritan, Feed on oatmeal, and stuff themselves with bran.

I First, then, ye muses to us tell Who was the man, and who then- Right there the poem stopped short. No pious word could be found to end that last line, and Schenck woke up just thou and chased the poet out of the field, being under the impression that he was a foul-tip or a third strike. Such fugitive poetry THE Nfissa U HERA LD. 27 should be gently criticised. The poet never felt like iinishing that piece, and wisely 5 for he reflected : Suppose Horton should end a. line 3 why, in English, but two words will rhyme with it. The one is 'snortin7,' the other ' cavortin'.' His muse had no use for that kind of language. I see you don't think the epic is WVm.'s strong point. How does this cold-blooded little lyric of his strike you, on an every-day occurrence in Princeton ? Entitled VVIGGAN. I I Oh, the wide-mouthed Wiggan has gone down to the club, The street was quite filled by his elegant tub, Then houses on both sides got many a rub, ' As the lovely Wiggan tore down for his grub.

Yet I don' t think there's much foun- dation for the story that Billy was born in the first geological ages5 that he used to heave chunks of Silurian rocks and bits of Devonian sandstone at the first reptiles 5 pitched pennies with the Cave-dwellers5 and when the coal deposits of Pennsylvania were being made, he was there making himself generally useful, boosting the megatheriums up apple trees, to keep them out of harm, s way, and still allow them to enjoy the performance5 that he played foot-ball with the plesiosaurs against a picked team of trilobites, echinoderins and salamandroids 5 that he sold the game for a twelve-dollar office to a big gasterpod, who was trying for the third time toget in a clam-shell I that did not fit him 5 and that the Billy which we now see is but the dried-up stalk or sawed-oif stump of some primeval, giant. Caddy Vinton started that story, and it sounds just like his old hermit. yarns- I don, t believe a word of it. Billy, fill out this birth-certificate.

BY GEORGE SIBLEY JOHNS, MO., ' .............. l The last pages of the book containing the collegiate record of 780 are fast filling, and soon the volume will be closed and sealed and put on file, along with their grades and absences and sensa- tional pictures, in the Police News ,' but another- huge tome lies ready to open, whose pages, untouched by human hands, are white as the driven snow, with names written at regular inter- vals, which are the names of the Class of 80,-over the space allotted to each in the great book of life, and the book was given to your prophet to open, and as he looked, there seemed to be an unseen hand tracing out lines and characters invisible to all else 3 but to him it was given to read and interpret the writing which was written thereon, and to catch glimpses of the men whom the writing concerned, and behold, he lifted up his eyes and saw a throng of young men, theresidue of a multitude, many of whom had fallen aweary by the -wayside, but the stronger and more for- tunate among them, throughtmany trials, much tribulation, suf- fering, temptation of the evil one, cutting and hard conditions, had fought the good iight and obtained their N dips, their work being' pronounced good, and the throng scattered to the four winds, with faces set forward, bearing in their right hands parch- ments, many of them singing, dancing, making merry, and hug- ging their parchments as if they were of ,exceeding great value, and winking knowingly to themselves, for to some the iight had been grievous, and the parchment was all they possessed, and a very few went apart and wept bitterly, for they ha.d been shnrn of their feathers. Your prophet looked beyond a.nd still beyond , and ever and anon in the vast crowd of intent, upturned faces TLIE NASSA U HERALIJ. ' 33 cf tiuniliar forms and features would be seen, some bright with a glory brighter than youthful dreams, others surrounded by shadows and dark clouds. All seemed to turn and look long- ingly toward a certain spot passed forever, where cares touched the brow as lightly as the summer breeze, and life was tinged with the radiant splendor of the purple dawn. These are the true contents of the book, and these are the visions. As your prophet strained his eyes toward the dim future, a well-known object burst upon his enraptured vision: a man, clothed in unique garments, with long, raven, curling locks streaming over his shoulders and unkempt beard, and he was called Charles L. Weed, the Philadelphia Philosopher. I In his face there was an expression of deep intensity. His eyes looked into nowhere, as if searching -for the mystery of the universe. His lips curled scornfully, for men were as nothing in his sight, the universe mere patchwork, and the deity an intellectual toy. Yea, mind was everything, and his mind the only mind worth mentioning. He had crutches put under his ears, because his body could not support the weight of knowledge 5 for, verily, he had become thought incarnateg a Walking thought and classic music generator. He had sought the ding an sich, and he thought he could find the cling, but what was the sich? He had written a criticism on the Bible, completely demolishing it, proving it contrary to all of his canons of literature, logic and science. St. Paul and Dr. McOosh he considered shallow. He had written, moreover, a poem combining all knowledge, after this style, ct la Weed: I Oh, thou! If there is any such thing. Oh, thou! Syllogistical. , Oh, thou! Socical. Oh, thou! Entity Metaphysical, . Deistical, The Knowable, Inconceivable, Protoplastic Illimitable, I know thee not. WVho art thou? Wlie1'efore art thou, I knowing thee not? I I I I I then, I am, . Ah, Ding ! Oh, Szfcltf Oh, Ding cm Siclz, ! C 34 ' THE NASSAU.HERALD. And so on in solemn refrain for a mile or two. The great Weed choked everything else. But what almost unrecognizable object is that ever hovering devotedly in Weedis footsteps, freshly smiling like the month of May ? If Weed was a thought, Henry Fay Greene was a smile, an inaudible, visible laugh. The pla- tonic idea of Greene was a mouth stretched from ear to ear, and literally from year to year. These two quit talking as super- fluous, and communed. You could always tell when the mind was working by the stretching of the mouth, the mouth, oblivious to all outside' matters,- still wore what seemed to be the knicker- bockersof his childhood. They resembled the fig leaf of Adam, with twig attachment. You could only see a pair of shoes, the 'fig leaf, and the inevitable smile. They -were frequently arrested for having no visible means of support, but the justice invariably decided no grounds of complaint. A few rays of pleasure illu- mined the lives of these inseperables, for they had their bums, not on earthly liquids, for one glass between them would have given both dead away. Greene tried it once, and threw himself up shoes and all, and had to be turned right side in again, but they would spend Whole nights on logic sprees and philosophical debauches. All wit is a form of syllogism. YVeed brought this to perfection. He woulfd say, for instance: 3' All smokers are never happy without the Weed 3 Greene is never .happy without his Weedfu' Ergo, Greene islike a smoker. Then Greene would go into convulsions, -and Weed would smooth him out with a flat-iron. Barnum hired the pair for 3100,000 per annum, and hung the label, What is it G? on Greene's ear as the most likely place, signifying that it was here. It was finally discovered that Weed was .the sich and ,Greene the cling. Greene had a rubber arrangement in case of funerals. y NA thing of beauty is a joy forever. Chauncey Beasley is a thing of beauty, and he is a joy--to himself. YVl1en Chauncey hears this he will probably blush-if he knows how. In Freshf' year there was a reward offered to liud Bi-aslev's moustache 5 ten years after he left college it was doubled to find Beasley. The history of Beasley's moustache illustrates his most prominent characteristic. The moustache, as you can sec, T11 la' N.-l,.SH,l U IIERALD. 35 was ambitious, and wanted to show itself, but was continually sat on by its near neighbor. To tell the truth, it was only after Chauncey asked his iirst girl to marry him that themoustache got ai. glimpse of his side burns, then his cheek collapsed for a few minutes, but soon recovered. Beasley was eminentlyisuc- wmful in his undertakings. Fortune slapped him onceon the cheek, and he nieekly offered the other. She gave it up as a bad case. There were other things of- beauty. Caesar, Culver Massie 7 and Jim Paxton might be mentioned, of whom more hereafter. Frederick Fitch Culver failed to make the desired, impression 7 and tried to go into business-the tobacco business. on a small scale, kept a cigar, peanut and apple stand 3 but even in that capacity, Cully always looked nice. . i ' P y a Jack Leal, contrary to all expectations, did not study for the ministry. We all thought that Jack would be a minister, but poor Jack wasn' t even a Sunday-school teacher. This is how it happened. Jack was invited to take charge of a flourishing, school, and as his custom is, proceeded to take a brace-two or three of them. In fact, he overbraced himself, and fell. This same habit of spiritually bracing spoiled lots of Jack7s plans. People have been heard to say that if ever Jack should be con- verted the spiritual effort to come up to the scratch would kill him. He was not dead when last heard from. Jack was gen- erous to a fault. 'Many a time, dry and nearly dead from thirst, he has been known to pass the water to the other fellow, and take his straight. But these little virtues never interfered 'with A his success in life, the only trouble was that Jack, was too vis- ionary , his schemes were fearfully wild. When he first started in the medical line, he bought himself a team and light buggy, stationed small boys at every street corner, and drove furiously through town with the small boys yelling after him. Anything to get patients, was his motto,'and he invariably celebrated every case. 'C He was universally, beloved and respected. This was taken from his tombstone, which was finished before he died. Larzelere Heinekenf Ch! my prophetic soul. The wind- ings of his path were tortuous. It stopped at every threshold. 36 I ZHE NASSAU HERALD. Most of his life was spent lookingtup his Old f1'i9HdS and classmates, and talking over old times at their firesides. He came near being drowned once-the only time in his life, and then he fell into the water by accident. He remained in ten minutes, and was never identified afterward. Later, the geolo- gists found in that vicinity what they took to be a landslide from Princeton to the coast. David Meade Massie next loudly demands our attention. Your prophet is not a poet, but when the prophetic inspiration saw Massie it assumed the form of poetry. It is eminently Htting that Longfellow metre should be used about a tall fellow. THE MASHED MASSIE, OR THE BALLAD OF 0. B. In the land of bleak New Jersey, In the land of sweet potatoes, In the' land of boarding-houses, Sand hills and malarial marshes, . Where is the prayer of all the people, 'Give us thisday our daily stranger! In this land, near Princeton College, Dwelt a youth and dwelt a maiden 5 She was fair, and gay and blithesome, And her eyes were darkest hazel, Dark her hair, of dusky brown shade, Sweet her smile, like radiant sunshine Glistening through the summer foliage. Gay her laugh, as warbling songsters Trilling lightly in the tree-trops, And her blushes, like the sunset, 'Singing all with brighest crimson. He was tall and very slender, Long and lean and lanky was he, Long his leg and short his breeches 5 They were plucked in early spring time, flucked ere they were fully ripened g And his moccasins were red-topped, With the hide of calves and lambkins, And the fellows called him O. B. Deep he'd polled in lore of doctors, In the business of coinmittecs, In the politics of nations. But in company of maidens , He was bashful, coy, and backwawdg Blushed his cheek like reddost rosy red flllslla' NASHAU IUCHALD. 37 U. ll. loved the iuerry iuaidcu 5 Maury summers had he loved her, llut his love-tale could not tell her, or his knees knocked hard together, And his tongue clove to his mouth' s roof 5 Smuimered he, and found no utterance. Then he'd lead her in the moonlight, Lead her by the rippling streamlet, lVhile, with nostrils far extended, Tried to speak, but found no utterance. Then he sent her gay love-tokens, Candy brought from New York city, Qften took her riding with him. Gaily laughed the merry maiden 5 Strongly loved our gallant O. B. Ever thinner, thinner, thinner, Grew the flesh on O. Bfsbody, 5 And his nose grew long and peaked, And his shadow microscopic, And the bleak, cold winds of winter, Vtlhistling through his waving garments, Played a tune upon his thin limbs Like one whistling on a knife blade. Though the people could not see him, Yet they heard the wind's wild music 5 Heard the music as he passed ,them Like the sound of twanging jewsharp. Then the maiden's heart was softened, And her answer made him happy, And he sought and found his dear friend, Wept for joy, and told his love-tale, - Slobbered over Blair Lee's bosom. Then he took the maiden with him, Took her to his distant Wigwam, To the plains of far Ohio. Here the muse refused to muse any longer, and shouted in short metre that when Massie had thrown himself around Ohio for a time, he found his chance to address the people,5 kicked a hole in the platform, raised his fists ominously toward heaven, 'tied himself into two or three knots, looked so Herce, and frowned so terribly that a friend of his rose up and nominated him- for the state legislature. After he was elected-for of course he was elected-counted himself in-and had moved the previous question continuously, and had been chairman of all . I ss THE NAss.4 U HERA LD. the committees, he raised a party of his own and tried .to run the state for the rest of his life. It is proper to state, in con- clusion, that Massie7s moustache would have .taken the cake, if it hadn't been for the cavity under it. p T Henry Hale Brotherlin stood six feet one in his shoes as long as he could, but it was too hard to keep up the circulation, so he collapsed, overcome by defeat. The doctors found embryonic heart and lungs in them, and he was buried in his boots. His footprints on the soil of Pennsylvania, are still pointed out to young men urged to attempt some wonderful feat. Three gay youths went whooping out into the west. Cut into the west Where the sun goes down. There was Lansing and Walter and John Stanley Meigs, and the Chicago bar Went into mourning. Judge became a shining light in the Delavan bar, and finally bought up the town and turned it into a ffhossn farm.

But H Cow '7 regarded such actions has base slanders, because, as he-remarked, they tried to hurt him behind his back, and felt considerately cut up until the 'next was reached. When Lansing applied for a position, and was asked what he could do, he looked dazed for awhile, and unconsciously struck his usual' angular position on short. . John Stanley Meigs was eminently domestic in his habits and disposition, and remained so allhis life. The short glimpse that the sybil gave of J ohn.

BY JAMES H. M'ooNKEY, PENNA. - .--4--- CLASSMATES :-As we assemble to-day in class-meeting, the thought that it is the last awakens varied emotions inthe heart of each one present, The answers given to the question, What are your feelings at the prospects of leaving College? are by no means uniform. Some, absorbed in hopeful and joyous anticipa- tion of the future, are yet not unmindful of the past. Cherish- ing the recollections and associations of the days that are gone they are intent upon strengthening the sacred ties of friendship, lest hereafter time and space should burst them asunder. Others assert their weariness of college life, their desire to grapple with the world's realities, to experience the -delights of victory, and, esteeming this a highly proper state of mind, they have come to regard all regrets at parting asnmere sentimental fancies. Ah! classmates, are not those of us who think' thus fleeing away from advantages at hand to grasp after those we may never Obtains? May not this bright world we are picturing be a delusion, and have we not been enjoying blessings in this quiet. miniature, world of ours which we 1na.y not find without '?

If, on the other hand We have not all manifested an unlimited capacity for assimilating the various elements of a college cur- riculum, yet there are those who will be heard from in that special Work, which theymay map out for themselves in the future. If we have not many whose brilliant talents assure to them a high place in Literature and Science, we can withal find a number Whose stronguintellect and executive ability will stand them in good stead in Law or Politics. .Determination, good judgment, indomitable pluck, and a firm adherence to convictions and principles are elements of success which characterize not a few of our number. Let us go forth, then, as men, thankful if we are gifted with vig- orous, healthy intellects, relying much upon the genius of common sense, resolved to strike hard, honest blows, and to keep 'hand and heart clean' from the civil and moral corruption of the times. And amid all let us remain loyal to the memory of the old class that shall soon have ceased to exist. We have ever been united in heart and action. WVc have had our measure of success, have suffered more than our share of misfortunes, and claim the priv- ilege of enrolment in the list of those who have gone out before us under more favorable auspices, and followed by more brilliant predictions. Nevertheless, whatever the future may have in store for us, whether distinction or obscurity, there will ever be an inmost recess of our hearts sacred to the memory of '8O. This bud we let fall in remembrance of him who was cut oif in the bloom of youth. .His is the first name on that sad list Which shall steadily lengthen as the years go by. These flowers, in all their beauty, tell us that Friendship has its roses Which, freshened by the dews of the heart, shall wither only upon the graves of those who have cherished them.
