Ladies and Gentlemen-You are gathered here to-day to Witness those exercises and ceremonies, which from time immemorial have marked the last chapter in the history of each graduating class. College graduates are unanimous in the sentiment that there are few associations so delightiul or so zealously treasured as those which cluster around our Alma Mater. It is there that their intellectual life was born and nourished, there that the battle between boyhood and manhood was fought, there, too, that friendships were formed, life-long in duration, cherished even to the grave. When We shall have passed from this seat of learning, and are struggling for an honorable and useful ,place among our fellow-men, our memories Will ever bring back to us some- thing of our early strength and vigor by recalling the happy days of our youth spent here. It is then that the remem- brance of generous friendships-some strengthened only by the lapse of time-and others sundered by the separa- tion of death, then it is that remembrance will touch us with peculiar delight, or make use better men by giving us sober, solemn thoughts. To-day, my friends, We are assem- bled for theclast time as a class, to-morrow we must be men, Whether We Will or not. To-morrow, life, stern, exact- ing, practical life, with all its anxieties and perplexities, will stare us in the face. Let us not shrink from the ordeal, but let us to-day give ourselves up unreservedly to the spon- 6 THE NASSAU H ERALD. taneous enjoyment of the hour. And when around the cannon our orators, with good-natured sarcasm unfold our history, or narrate our mishaps, then if you do not appre- ciate the allusions and the cause of roaring laughter, bear with us, for remember that it is all pertinent and pregnant with meaning to us. And now, kind friends, it is my pleas- ant duty to offer you a sincere and hearty Welcome in the name of the Class of '85. THE JVASSAU HERALD. Glass lltrreiu. FRANK S. WOODRUFF, N. J. 'Tis evening-time on fair New England's hills, Deep shadows bridge the limpid, mossy rills NVith graceful span, as falls the lingering light, Latest and most beauteous, that borders on the night Rich is the landscape now that greets the eye, Of hills and valleys green and amber sky. So gently blows the fragrant vesper breeze As scarce to draw a murmur from the trees, That leafy and in summer garments dressed, Keep silent watch, sheer to the hillock's crest. Nor elen a whisper of the wintry spell That yearly binds with icy hand each dell - And height 5 when whirling snow-flakes ill the sky, And tempests toss the withered leaves on high. The place lies inland 5 there do people dwell Who never see the heaving ocean swell, Nor hear his music, yet are well content, And often, while on rural task intent, See in the Hitting vap'rous shapes of clouds What they imagine hulls and snowy shrouds. Inviting, wide, and peaceful lies the street . Where winding paths from od' the hillside meet, - And following down, you cross the little bridge That spans a gushing streamlet from the ridge, And gives the town the name of Silver Brook. Below it wanders like a shepherd's crook, And dashes o'er the rocks with liquid tune To fill its moss-rimmed basins, water-hewn. The voices sweet of children, sorrow-free, Now soothe the heart with innocence and glee And at this evening hour scarce else is heard, Save now and then the note of some wood-bird. J THE NASSAU HERALD. White are the dwellings, built apart a space, Encircled round with lawns of verdant grace. A school, the central theme of village thought, With gray tradition, youthful pranks inwrought, Looms up with massive walls and silent towers. No sound is heard under the foliage bowers, The school-boys all now far away do roam, To seek the pleasures of a loving home. If from the public way of Silver Brook You turn your step, you soon espy a nook Nestling beneath the ledge, that dark. and tall Rises away above like ancient castle wallg There you a homestead plain and neat may see, 'Tis midway cast, twixt ease and poverty. He on the porch, to whom my thought relates, The aged doctor, sits and meditates. An old man, stout of heart but feeble now, For eighty snows had deeply marked his brow, And three-score years of stern physician-life Had passed since he, with young and girlish wife, First came to live at Silver Brook, And gleeful called their homestead Shady Nook? I watch the shadows Hit across his face, His hoary locks-how like a crown of grace! Anon his eye lit up with pride and joy, As scenes arose that showed himself a boy. With shades of sadness now the joy would cease, But still his face was calm and full of peace. A youthful chorus wafts from yonder peak, The distance makes it soft and low and sweetg Old Alfred forward bends his ready ear As thus the camper's song comes free and clear. List to the dwellers on nature's dark mountains, On Greylock's kind bosom we lay ourselves down - Drink we the joy of his deep-rushing fountains, Sleeping in peace on the spruce-needles brown. Cool are the breezes that fan thy tall hemlocks, Soft trills the thrush on the banks of the rill, Light float the clouds o'er the billowy hill-tops, Richly our vessel of pleasure to ill. Praise we the grace of our loved Alma Mater, Sweet are the memories clustering thereg 7 , THE NASSAU HERALD. Here while we stay by the clear dashing water, All shall her towers and beauty declare. As faint the silver echoes died away, Over his cheeks the joyous halos play, As now the song unbidden mid the trees Brings back his youthful sports and merry glees. He listens still 'to catch another strain, But that was all--he heard it not again. Tho', as for contrast, fain to turn the thought From careless joy to lessons sorrow-taught, A lonely hermit thrush, with rich and liquid voice, Kept warbling-such a tune as oft against the choice Brings a wave of sadness and unbidden tears. Old Alfred knew the touch of sorrow in past years, That touch so heavy, yet with surety given, To mould a truer manhood, more like that of heaven A tear-drop glistened in his kindly eye, And turned his glance toward the western sky. There, cast against its softly glowing light, The old physician saw a wondrous sight: High up the mountains part in twain, And in the rift a smooth and placid main Of far-stretching clouds, nay dotted here and there With fleecy sail, and well does it compare ' With bright and glancing waters of the sea, That far away are bound byistern decree. Another mood sweeps o'er that manly face Which full reflects the inward musing's trace, 'Tis that of longing and of deep desire- Nor do I now the secret cause inquire, For oft the villagers have told to me How well he loved his boy-now on the sea, How often, when he lightly falls asleep, The father talks of Herbert on the deep, Yet in his eye a sort of jubilee, As quietly he murmurs, No more sea. Fainter the blushing glows of evening wane, And over four score varied years again Had Alfred journeyed in his memory free. His daughter Mary, tall and matronly, With gentle hand supplies his feeble need, And both within the hall-way now recede. A Dim could I see-the flickering shades increase- THE NASSAU HERALD. But still his facewas calm and full of peace. Not far diverse from other lives was his C111 varied schools the course of training isj, Here pages blotted, blistered by our tears, There records of regrets and doubts andufears 5 What chronicles of triumph and defeat, Of struggle and temptation and retreat I Whether in light or darkness, where the soul 'Which boasts not some ambition and a goal ? Altho' men speak not, yet their actions tell What are the hopes' that in the bosom swell. Forsooth, tho' divers paths their sandals press, 'Tis long a chosen road to happiness. Not alway for the fount of childhood's health, Nor yet the stone that yields imagined wealth, Do mortals labor, but to find in life Some inward satisfaction-free from strife. I have oonversed with more than one of Alfred Since he died-I scarce can say he's dead- Who knew him well, aye, and loved him, too. Should I affirm to what his peace was due, I'd take the words that rural folks express, Who told me of his great unselfishnessf' With youthful spirits eager for the race, We boldly enter in and take our place 5 But not without a forethought of the way We go, but cannot see-much less portray. But still there comes in every life a time of rest, When patience and not valor is the testg When thought is uppermost, and hands are weak 5 When lips their wonted accents cease td speak. Not all of us shall bide at even-time, ' Grirt round by everlasting hills sublime, , Or musing in the twilight hours of life, Shall calm review each chapter in the strife, But when from toil the word shall come to cease May we have found that grace which bringeth lasting peace 7 THE NASSAU HERALD. 11 Glass Elratiim. BY DUNCAN EDWARDS, N. Y. DEAR CLASSMATES : Amid the emotions of this time and place he who is your Class Orator cannot but feel his duty to be doubly sacred and ditlicult. Amidst the excitement of the day, amidst these joyous ceremonies of Commence- ment, he is to voice for you the rising pangs of sorrow at parting with the beloved scenes and associations of Princeton. Like the ivy upon its walls, our affections have been cling- ing very closely to Nassau Hall, and only now We begin to realize how tightly they have wrapped their tendrils about the time-stained buildings. The campus with its tall trees, as we have seen them in autumn dropping their withered leaves in heaps upon the familiar paths, as we have seen them in winter with their long, thin arms wrapped in white mufrs of snow, as we have seen t-hem in such summer morn- ings as the present, full-leaved, moist with dew, and bathed in sunshine, the campus, with its grand lines of buildings, grand no less in the beauty of the present than in historical perspective, the campus, which has witnessed our enthusi- asm, blazed with our tires, and resounded with our cheers, has become endeared to us as a personal friend. And as we have lately sat together' through the long June evenings on the steps of Old North, with our eyes upon the fair, green, familiar face of that campus, and our voices swell- ing together in the songs of Old Nassau, we have felt our hearts drawn closer to each other, the spirit of our class relationship, the fellowship of common feelings, common experience, common aspirations, has become almost tangible, 2 . 18 THE NASSAU HERALD. and the sense of parting has crept upon us like a feeling of pain. I. Even as the emigrant leaving his native land looks back from the deck of the ship upon the land of his birth, already beginning to grow dim in the distance, so we look back to-day upon our past, we recall the generous rivalries that have marked it, those kindly struggles where victor and vanquished could both share in the success. We recall the home life of Princeton which clusters about certain pleasant rooms, which are the holy of the holies of 'our college recollections. We recall the manly sympathy which has brightened our joys and lightened half the burden of our sorrows. And we cannot but wish that in the future we may find rivals as generous, victors as kindly, and sympathy as ready, as we have among our classmates of '85, It is quite true that our blessings brighten as they take their iight, and it may be that we exaggerate to-day the joys of the past four years. Exaggerate the honesty of our rivalries, the generosity of our impulses, our good will and the abounding pleasantness of our work here, and quite forget the -selfishness, the bitterness of the past, and the grinding, often apparently useless, toil. These latter have existed, for college life is but mortal life. College friendships are very precious to-day, but there have been times when we have cried out with Emerson, Friends, such as we desire, are dreams and fables. There have been times when we have tired of all this training for life, and have looked with quickened longing onto life itself And so to-day, although there is a feeling of sorrow at part- ing, the absorbing thought for us is the future, and it lies before us misty and vague, suggesting wondrous things to the imagination. A bow of promise is arched over it, at whose ends lie treasures of fame, of gold, of power. I can say truly, we feel like the little child, eager to rush out in the rain, over the Wet fields, through the swollen brooks, to find the fabled pot of gold that lies at the end of the rain- bow's path. Away with thoughtsiof doubt or hesitation. THE' NASSA U H ERA LD. 19 These plans, these prospects, these fancied achievements are glorious possibilities. The earth is still the garden ofthe Lord! But, alas! the child is in the mire, the rainbow has vanished, and there is no pot of gold to be found. So, at the outset, let us not be dazzled by the prizes of life, for we have looked about us to little purpose if we have not seen that the vast majority of mankind end life in the mire with the sad conviction that they have been pursuing phantoms. There is no great need for me to urge you to action. In the fierce competition of modern life a man is often enough dug in the side by an exhortation to work. Every pulpit preaches energy, every oration implores us to clear the way for men of action. The whirring looms, the throbbing engines, the huge furnaces that night and day pant hot and hungry, all hum in our ears the word tt work. This is the magic key that will open the lock for us, and what a garden of reward is painted to our hopes! We are pointed to a picture of material prosperity. White sails flecking the broad seas, tall masts towering above the busy warehouses, iron steeds running hither and thither over the face of the earth, from where agriculture sits amidst her bursting sacks of grain to all the busy marts where the sooty factories rattle with their clanging, clatter- ing machinery. We are shown man everywhere bending heaven and earth as slaves to his knowledge and pleasure, robbing the 'clouds of their life tp, whisper his words over miles of land and sea, and deeply probing the great heart of the earth for warmth and power. All materials are held out as food for a strenuous hunger for work. The human race are rapidly becoming all nerves that are forever ting- ling. We need not expect that amidst all this rush we can sit with our arms idly folded. The picture the world paints is intended to teach no such lesson. We shall soon enough give way to the incentives to work, and our nerves will tingle in sympathy with those of the restless multitudes around us. But is this all that life is to have for us in the future, work, action, a strenuous endeavor, a feverish beat- 20 THE NASSAU HERALD. ing of the deep unqniet will, the delusive hope of a little enjoyment of material reward? Look beneath the surface, and see the real nature of these rewards which the material world has to oiier us. .Is this feverish turmoil a reward? Is a life-in which rapidity is the highest. good worth living? in which rich men's sons are hurried oft' in their teens to business before they are scarcely beyond their spelling-books, in which the fruit is plucked green and allowed only a pre- carious ripening upon the market stand? ' The god of modern life is indeed become a material god, a god of wood, iron, gold and brass. Practical achievements are his burnt offerings, and money-making his heave offering. Such a Divinity!! His Worship is robbing our lives of much beauty and nobility. Look into the faces you meet upon the streets. Anxious eyes, expectant eyes, a wearing out of brain and nerve and tissue, but scarcely a thought about the golden streets. Truly his feet are miry clay. Somewhere and somehow that appalling question will meet us. What protiteth a man's 'labor under the sun ? Some- times a breath of real life, of anguish or bereavement will blow upon- us, and our Divinity will fall upon us and crush us as we raise our eager hands to him for comfort. What will it matter then that we can 4' mould the great earth to our will ? My classmates, if we have a mission, I do not believe it is to reform politics, as we are so often told, but rather to carry into life some of the grace and dignity of intellectual pursuits. It becomes us not to rush into life as into a selnsh struggle, with our neighbors for prizes which turn to dust and ashes in our grasp. We have been living an ideal life for four years. We have been members of a society from whose borders the intense interests of the outside world have been excluded, where friendship and sympathy have bloomed into full growth, a society hallowed by a noble history, rich in the treasures of literature and all the means of culture. Surely THE NASSAU HERALD. 21 her influence upon our lives cannot have been in vain. Never, even in our most intense struggles in the time to come, can we forget her high teachings, can we subside into the belief that the highest reward that life has to offer us is a temporal one, that self-renunciation is an old vvife's fable, and material good is man's safest and surest aim. Our Alma .Maier has brought us face to face vviththe great souls of the past, the fragrance of whose memory can never wholly .escape us. She, has bid us learn from them that 4' life is more than meat, as thetbody is more than raimentg that achievement is not needed to make life a success. Even that apparent failure may be real success, whose influ- ence may affect ages beyond the present. V As she sends us forth from-her walls she speaks to each one of us- Greatly begin z though thou have time But for a line: be that sublime, Not failure: but low aim is crimef' If our class relationship has taught us anything it has taught us the' interdependence of men, and I know of no grander aim for life than that taught by modern altruism- the living with and for others, the brotherhood of man. We are at times apt to think it merely poetry, and sensible men have declared that it is largely nonsense, a creation for poets and pale sentimental college graduates to babble over. . They say a man is born and dies alone, and, while sympathy and charity are very sweet, a man's chiefest duty is to himself. This is true in a sense, and the answer of the Princeton catechism is worthy of remembrance, The chief end of man is self-realization and the glory of God. But still the greatest road to self-realization is through altruism. It pours into us the wealth of other's natures, and, while drawing from' us, leaves us neither flaccid nor drained, but only hastens the development of our character, which is growing more and more to be the most powerful factor in life, far outweighing achievement or action. And is there not scope enough here for the strongest and the weakest of 22 THE NASSAU HERALD. us? Are there not parched lips never wet with water of sympathy? Are there not imploring hands and piteous voices who may be stilled? Are there not wrongs that cry out to heaven to be righted, and rough places to be made smooth for the progress of humanity? But the time draws near now when we are to separate, when ties are to be broken and new interests are to take the place of those which are to live but in memory. Before we meet again as a class, changes must come, from the thought of which we shrinkg but no change can take from us the memory of Princeton, no change can wipe out its iniiuence. And, as the broken circle re-unites again, as we mark the vacant places, where once were living links, we shall not feel that we have not parted with any of our classmates forever, but We will look forward to another re- union and will not be sorrowful, for Somewhere is comfort, somewhere faith, Though thou in outer dark remain, One sweet, sad voice ennobles death, And still saith softly, , Ye meet again. THE NASSAU HERALD. 23 filing: Ellratiaim. CHARLES F. MC CLUMPHA, OF NEW YORK. OUR LIVES are shadovvs on the dial-plate of time, and the World reads its hour-history from the flight of life over this human time-teller. Eternity chimes out its seconds, minutes, hours, in the varying harmonies of man's existence, and announces itself to the World in spiritual rather than in material tones. Men have fashioned many arbitrary signs which Will trace the path of this phantom, ever gliding before them, but hovv futile their attempts to mark it in the running ofthe sand or in the music of the bell, when it visibly shapesritself in man's ovvn soul, forming a living link in that tissue of history which invveaves all being, and joins the yesterday With the morrow. Life, therefore,is the great time-recorder of the past: The dainty, tender fern carved in solid rock the data from which We reckon dizzy cons, the poems of the Iliad have long echoed in their rhythmic verse the vanished dreams of the past. It is a grand plan of creation that moulds the delicate ,shells of the sea into foundation stones ofthe World, that converts the flowing rivers into rosy billovvs of cloud-ocean, but hovv preeminently magic the soul that precipitates action and thought from. the subtle fluid of time. It is impossible to analyze those soul-elements that have performed the deeds which color the pages of history. We call them energy, culture, genius, but these terms are insuiiicient, they only designate varying activities of the human mind. Energy never could explain a Luther, nor genius a Shakespeare. 24 THE NASSAU HERALD. There is a striking scene in one of the old poets, where, in the gentle slope of a valley, a humble, swaying lily is repre- sented as converting the subtle sunlight into leaves of green and calices of gold. About this delicate workshop Watch the mighty forces of nature, on either side are beheld the misty forms of the haze-cradled mountains, while the winds, bearing perfume, chant their softest cadences, and the lofty, trembling trees bow their heads as if they felt the presence of angelic hosts passing to and fro 5 and even so in the work- shop of the soul of man is mysterious time transformed by divine mechanism into action, while the powers of the uni- verse regulate in awful silence the achievements of this human wonder-worker. The world has often hushed its voice and listened to the Words of man, it has stood appalled at sight of declarations of independence, emancipation proc- lamations, and trembled before the phenomena of steam and electricity. It has been said that man is unarmed and helpless, but are we not surrounded with a complexity of forces which, com- bined with the human mind, have Wrought miracles rivaling the works of nature ? The sphere-harmony that floated from the forest trees tuned the soul of Wagner 5 the morning-light that painted the pearl of the fragile shell tinted the' poems of Wordsworth and Shelley 5 the sculpture of the tin y diatom furnished the designs that beautified the columns and arches of St. l?aul's Cathedral. - Man occupies the centre of this force-universe. You saw the leaf on yon ivy wither and fall 5 internal force wrought its decayg look closer at these century-stained walls and behold miniature moss-forests forming there. With such hidden powers in operation does not the mind feel capable of world-creation, and we are not constrained to cry, with the devout Novalis, We touch heaven when we lay our hand on a human body. With such possibilities isit not natural that life should become a search after power, that the great pulse of activity should beat Within the soul! Thus from THE NASSAU HERALD. 25 morn till night the clink of coin and the hum of machinery rise as prayers from metallic lips, addressing the divinity of trafiic. We must not mistake the spirit of the times. Be it activity, then men must learn to harmonize with activity, to ennoble it and make it conform with the spirit of nature. Study the simplest iiower, its texture, its coloring, its bud- ding, blossoming and fruit, all demonstrate a life of action Contemplate the life of a St. Paul, its doubts, its conflicts, its activities, all culminating in that heroic, divine burst of victory, I have fought the good ight. The particles that circled in that flower disk, the soul-substance of that power- ful man, are alike forms of activity, presenting their phe- nomena through different mediums. The fossil strata of the earth show us that nature began with rudimental forms, and rose to the more complex, and that the lower perish as the higher appear. This same law holds as true in the development of man's soul as of his body. To-day we are far from the summit, there are yet clinging to us ' the fossil remains which time itself must erode, but the very fact that a higher stratum has been reached places man in a different, superior position with regard to his fellow man. The instant a ray of light pene- trates a darkened room, its nature first requires it to chase away the darkness. Light becomes an activity, the removal of the darkness its duty. Carry this law one degree higher, and let it become a formula of life. We can only attain the highest point of development, the high mark of the ideal, when We fulfill this altruistic law of nature, which alone can solve the puzzling problems of life. God, immortality, duty, said George Eliot, U The first, inconceivable 5 the second, unbelievable 5 the last, awful, with inevitable fates? In the interdependence of nature, duty is a mechanism, a self- regulated mode of action, among men, duty means that dis- order has destroyed the perfection and mechanism of the soul, Restore man this perfect law, and you give him his whole duty. The flying buttress, laden with the carved festoons of 3 . 26 THE NASSAU HERALD. flowers and' leaves, leaping from the masonry like a thing of life, independent of the law of gravity, uncontrolled, helps to bear its share of the massive tower that rises to a dizzy height above it, and so thel most insigniicant life forms an important part in the great tissue of mankind. Therefore, let no life be Hobjectless and in vain, we are necessary links in the great chain which, from the full development of consciousness in the first man, reaches forward into eternity. This day we plant the Ivy which will perpetuate the memory of our Class. The lessons of this climbing vine are numerous 3 beauty in each leaf, activity in each growing fibre, love in its clinging to these memorable walls. Time, action, duty, call upon us to take our place in the outside world, to sever the ties which have, during four years, bound us to this institution and to one another. For us the hours of the present are golden, and we leave this tender Ivy to treasure up and perpetuate all the memories of the past. Our recollections, not we, can live on with this Ivyg ours is a life of the future, of dreams, of aspirations, of hopes. Then, upon each one of you, my classmates, I enjoin, Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Gro forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with at manly heartf' God speed the Class of '85. THE NASSAU HERALD. 27 itreseutatinn Elratizxm. BY A. BRADLEY GAITHER, MD. Fathers, Mothers, and others-During the last four years Princeton has been a hive of knowledge. The Class of '85 has had her drones and her workers. The drones have grown and prospered, and, as a natural result of the grading system, taken most of the honors, while the hard workers have been left in the rear, not having had the time to get Professors under their thumbs, as Wreck Crawford once thought 'he had Brackett, but after the examination found that Brackett had him in two senses 'of the word. Princeton has been honored by the presence of many great men. Aaron Burruand James Madison used to tramp through the mud on this Campus until Commencement approached and the walks were repaired, and now Call me Arthur Tree has to do likewise. When you gaze upon this band of smiling cherubs you must not form an opinion of them too hastily, based only on their appearance, but must remember that when they put on their store clothes they also donned their society manners, and now it would be as diffi- cult to tell their true characters as it was for the young ladies of Newark to tell what Charley Van Ausdal looked like from the picture which he sent them. They thought a great deal of him until they saw him, and in order that you may escape a similar disappointment, the traits of some of these most deceptive men xwill be disclosed to you. Judging by appearances, who would think that Stub Bryan was an 28 THE NASSAU HERALD. athlete, or that innocent-looking Putnam Cady would create disorder in Chapel? But man is very treacherous, and no faith should be put in him. P OUR IESTHETIC MAN. In order to be in keeping with the times we will first call on our aesthetic man, who, during four long years, has been sighing for a plant, but has been unable to obtain it. Oscar Wilde, in his love and admiration for the lily, has been totally eclipsed by J. Woods Brown, in his admiration and love for the Ivy. Come out, Brownie. ,When Brown arrived in Princeton, an innocent, meek- looking German lad from the 4' cross-roads in Pennsylvania, he did not display this far-away look, typical of a longing unfulfilled. When he saw the Ivy growing on the Old Chapel, and the whole scene such a complete change from coal fields and sauerkraut, he became enamored immediately and wanted to join anything that might be called Ivy. Now, it is easy to see why Brown liked Ivy on account of its color, but it is diflicult to tell why he should choose anything that clings so closely to churches. The explanation is that it is usually planted around his favorite part of the church--the door. Many months did you spend at the stepping stone, waiting for the summons that wouldhave been such sweet music to your ear. But it did not come. When the exam- ination for the Ivy Brotherhood was held, no transes could be obtained, and how could you have been expected to do your work without them? After your failure you stuck as close to the Ivy men as the Platonic Hugger Lawrence did to the girl he took sleigh-riding in Kansas. He hugged her through a ten-mile drive without at any time allowing the pressure to become less than five pounds to the square inch, but on their return she remarked, Why, Mr. Lawrence, you could not have taken any exercise while you were at college. Lawrence was crushed, but iwnsists that the girl was too. THE NASSAU HERALD. 29 During his solitude, Brown commenced to read novels. Knowing Weir's taste he would follow him into the library and take out the book Pau-l had just returned. By pursuing this method he soon read all the works of Walt Whitman and kindred authors. Becoming tired of this, he began to read dime novels, asvthe following note will explain : Mn. J. W. BROWN, To ROPEUM AND THREENORTHEAST, Dr. To Thompson's Appetite, or What a Man Can Eat ..................... 10c To R. Smith's Conquest, or Love on the Canal . ..... ..................... 1 Oc To Blades, the Hunter, or He Never Hit. A tale without a hero.. 10c N. B.-If this bill is not paid in two Weeks it will be sent home. Take this crib, containing a sprig of ,Ivy. Nurse the shoot tenderly, and, when you get home, tell your friends of how, at last, you were ff taken in i' by Ivy. . . OUR ATTRACTIVE MAN. We next have Our attractive man, and a representative man' has taken this place 5 one who represents two great centers of the worldis knowledge-Hightstown and Ed- wards Hall. Bombie Wilbur alone could claim such distinction. Amble this way, Bombie. Keep your eyes iixed on the ground, as you have already broken too many hearts. If Gussie Smith were in your place, that warning would have been unnecessary, though he has been in as good society as any other man, and no girl can 'play horse' with him. Grussie coniined himself to breaking one heart this ownj, when a girl at the Hightstown ball said to him, I know your name is not Smith, as all the Smiths are handsome. Had she seen our Smiths? Probably not. Coming as you do from the large city of Hightstown, it is not surprising that Primitive Dunshee looked upon you as a man of the world, who could show him all the modern dodges. So, when a boot-black in New York, pointing to 30 THE NASSAU HERALD. his boots, said, 'f Shine, sir 5 shine, it was natural for Dun- shee to have asked you whether that fellow was calling him names ? Wilbur never was great as a Psychologist, and when Jimmy asked him What school maintains the meta- physical origin of things ? Bombie answered, The Elastic school. Jimmy pardoned the error, but thought that he was stretching his memory a trifle too much. Some hold that your greatest attraction lies in your singing. Your voice might be compared to an organ which has plenty of wind, but no keys or stops. When you organized that Freshman Grlee Club, of which you made yourself leader, and paid the Brie-a-Brac bill for publishing the names of the members, you laid the foundation of your fame. The gentle muses, in the shape of bootjacks, pitchers, and similar movable articles, all gathered around your door when you began to sing. When you finished that pathetic ballad, Cleveland's Collar is Home Againf, the inundation that poured over your transom nearly drowned the words, which were much prettier than the notes. Bombie is also an acrobat, and his performances on the rope are deservedly renowned. The tradition of his mid- night descent, by means of a rope, from King Blades' room, after he had played his great joke on Blades and been locked in the room for his trouble, is present in the annals of Ed- wards Hall as the deed of a hero. Take this swan, emblematic of singing, but whose great- est beauty lies in the fact that it sings only when it is dying. Also this rope, with which you can try experiments. Tie one end to a limb. Put your head through the noose, sing softly, and swing off No flowers. That-will do. ' OUR DUDE. Speaking of attractive men leads us to think of the mod- ern improvement in the race of man-the dude. When it became known that a present was to be given to the dude, a THE NASSAU HERALD. 31 great competition arose. Carter began to keep his hair brushed, and Samson Brann actually had his Gymff suit- washed. If the present was to have been awarded for improvement, these men would have stood a good chance. It takes but a short time for a dude to reach perfection, and ours is ripe, as it has been hanging on the Tree for several years. Will Persifor F. Gibson advance with the latest Philadephia walk. Is that it? How neat. Gibson notices every new fashion, and, when he sees anything peculiar, purchases it immediately for a new style. When Lynch burned that cravat which had served him faithfully so many seasons, we had an era from which to date all events, but Gibby is a regular lightning change man. He is as incon- sistent as Frank Speer was at Jimmy's reception, when he said, 4' Doctor, you must be older than any of the girls here to-night. Gibson's most formidable rival is Tree, but our dude maintains that though he is not quite so handsome as Arthur, he is just as fdogf O, vcmitas mmitatum Qby kind permission of Mr. Connerj. To what will not the audacity of men lead them ? As dog as Arthur Tree ? The balance-pan would have been as high on your side if you had compared yourself to Paul Scharil, but you would have had to move very fast to get .ahead of him, as Paul claims that he has always been ahead of time. Harris worships Macaulay, and' Molly Riggs worships cake, but Gibson worships-Gibson. A fortune could be made by buying Gibby at his real value, as compared with Chet Arthur as our standard of the most precious thing on earthj' and selling him at what he thinks he is Worth in terms of the same standard. Every hair on the top of Bob Parker's head is numbered, but if they were put end to end they would not reach around the figures at which our duden values himself. Though Gibson is something of a blood, he cannot be compared to Benjamin Bosworth Smith, who has the longest family tree on record. ' It runs in an un- broken line back to the Ark, where, unfortunately, it was 32 THE NASSAU HERALD. lost, owing to the confusion of the animals. Persifor, your waist is too large. In order that you may be on an even footing with Tree, take these, and lace yourself as tight as possible. Then you may be 4' as dog as Arthur. p ous JACK or ALL TRADES. From men who have nothing.to do and cannot do even that, we corne to our Jack of all Trades, who has tried everything without success. Will Father Rochelle please come forward. You have taken an interest in everyone about the time that bills came due. Your philanthropic motives almost equal Gooch's, who was willing to warm a young lady's hands by holding them,'if his own should get cold. Rochelle is the most hospitable man in the class. He always kept a sign on the tree which read, Please call at 3 North Fast, but in small letters it continued and pay your bill. He is a strict man of honor, for when by one vote he might have been elected President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Temperance Club of Prince- ton College, he refused -the ofiice because it would necessitate his voting for himself, as Pard Laniberton, the other mem- ber of the society, was absent. Truly there is still honor among temperance men. What would 'C Nelly Bedle have done under such circumstances? Would she have voted for herself? Why, certainly. As Father saw that he fcould not make a success in politics, he Went to the other extreme and tried preaching. The announcement in the Princeton Press that Mr. F. W. Rochelle, of the college, would lead the services in the Railroad Avenue Church, kept many of the regular congregation away. His first attempt was a failure because he did not feel carried away by his subject. If he had made a second attempt he would probably have been carried away. He then turned to literature as a field in which his genius might find room to roam. His first and only production had quite a large circulation, as he issued it l l. THE NASSA U HERALD. 33 at his own expense. It was a fable about mortals and a little tin God. Nobody could see the point, and all that Rochelle could explain was that he was the little tin God. The moral of the fable was as abstruse as King Blades' Logical Syllogism of which the major premis was, All men are mor Tagm minor-premis, 'C The African Hottentot wears no clothes. Conclusion: Hence the trade-winds. Father, you are well built for tramping. Take this lantern and following the footsteps of Diogenes, tramp around the world until you find somethingxthat you can do. Be careful not to overtake the old man, for, if you should do so, his labor would be at an end. Hurry on your journey. 4' OUR GIRLJH The question as to what we shall do with our girls is an important one, but it has never troubled us, as we know that our girls are well settled. Polly Scharff and Nelly P-edle can never find anyone to run off with them, and, as Miss Pauline Weir has announced her engage- ment to Foltz, we have only one girl to protect now. 'Will Miss Molly Riggs trip gracefully to the front? When you have stopped blushing we will begin. You are still young, though some of your enemies say you have wrinkles. If this is true, your skill enables you to conceal them success- fully. Riggs has exerted a most beneficial iniiuence on the class. Many times has she prevented McClumpha from going,on a tear by using a kind word or refusing to lend him the money-more frequently by the latter method. You are a large element in the class, but not half so important as Jim Murray, who, by leaving the room, caused Patton to remark, Gentlemen, I will continue my lecture to the remainder of the class. In J im's opinion that remainder was very small. Stop winking at that man, as you know such things are not right. Molly is a hero worshipper, and admires especially Hercules, Achilles and Shag Wilson. 34, X THE NASSAU HERALD. Probably their great resemblance in form and strength iniiuenced her selection. Our girl is very accomplished. Although her walk, a sort of combination between a dog- trot and a waddle, is not graceful, she can dance divinely when she finds room for her feet. But to see Molly in her glory, to see her when she is the acknowledged belle, is to see her in a skating rink. She only skated once. How lightly she glided over the polished surface, and smiled sweetly, as if to say, No dog-trot here? But suddenly her feet flew up, and With a crash like thunder, that loosened every beam, She fell, and like a mighty wreck, lay right across the stream- of skaters. Oh! what a fall was there my countrymen! The manager of the rink refused to let her skate again, say- ing that the damage done to the floor must be repaired, but the true reason is said to have been that he had heard of Mollyis reputation. 4 Her sex was not discovered until the new sanitary system of washing revealed her secret. Chippy Chapin found some mysterious articles in his clothes-bag, and' Molly, like Cin- derella and the slipper, was found to be the only person who could wear them. ' Take this chewing-gum, Molly, and be as saving with it as Jimmy Buckalew is with his tobacco. As further con- cealment is useless, confess all, and use this until ypur own back hair grows longer. With this fan you can hide your blushes as you take your seat. r OUR TOUGH. We have so many of the tough class that it is hard to say to whom the honor of being our tough U belongs. Bayard, in seeking for this distinction, neglected his studies to such an extent that he would have been dropped if Lord had not helped him out during the examinations. After repeated warnings he kept straight for a time, but just before the THE NASSAU HERALD. 35 'examination in Ethics yielded and said to his lfriends, Iiet's make a night of it after Ethics. I'll get a pack of cards and we will be tough- and play whistf' Then, there is Bunny Spence, who looked forward to Junior year, and said that then he would be the tough ofthe Class. He was, and for a time ran ahead of everybody. But it has been determined to confer this mark of merit on one who, from the very first, has been a tough. The man is Sanford Norris Knapp, who will please make himself visible. In order to establish his reputation in Freshman year, Knapp turned out side whiskers to counterbalance Bayard's full beard, which at that time was the pride of the class, but he had to remove them, as they did not even counterbalance each other, the number of hairs being odd on one side and even on the other, which unconformity was very noticeable. He ,next took to bicycling in order to develop his calves. The ghost, consisting of the dim outline of a man riding on an invisible steed, which was seen flying past Jugtown, and which cre- ated such a scare among the natives, was discovered to have been Knapp on his bicycle. The absence of lower limbs was due to the close resemblance of his legs to the spokes of the wheel. The mystery was solved by placing a stone in the road which caused 't our tough to take a header. In his haste to remount he dropped a letter which explained everything. It appears that Knapp had been acting as a midnight Mercury, carrying letters between Bird and his girl in Kingston, and for his reward was to have been made best man when the 4' troso should be completed. This disclosure broke up the scheme, and Bird will be seen at Kingston again about the time that E. Smith subscribes to a charity fund. When the prayer-meeting gang, with permission from the Faculty, took their annual sleigh-ride to Trenton, for some unknown reason Knapp was allowed to go with them. He took Beattie around the town, and as a result Beattie always proposed the hymn, 4' I am a Wandering Sheep. , 36 THE NASSAU HERALD. Take this, and let it be a skeleton in the closet, to remind you of former days. 'Keep the closet locked, and don't go near the skeleton, as you might get mixed up with it. ff OUR LADIES, MAN.7, Jimmy has probably already said to the young ladies, If ye want a husband, I can recommend any member of this class, as it is the best class that has ever left me Colligg and we will now show you our ladies' men. There are many would-be ladies' men, such as pretty.-T ack Cooper, who can be admired from a distance, and 't Peach Burger- he of the whiskers. But these have not made an open show of their fondness for the girls as Depue and Beattie did when they had a tin-type taken in which they were both hugging the same girl. However, all our would-be ladies' men are lacking in one essential point, as they cannot quote poetry, while our ladies' man is a real, live poet. Will Chippy Chapin please advance? Chapin has always been a ladies' man, and numbers among his acquaintances some most. valuable female friends. One night he went visiting, and was ushered into a parlor in which the light was burning dimly. As he had to wait a few minutes he settled himself on the sofa and was soon fast asleep. Imagine the sight that awaited the young lady when she entered the room. Chapin had stretched himself out and was snoring musically, while ever and anon a sweet smile came over his features, as if he were dreaming of the fun he had the night after the examination in chemistry on the strength of knocking Johnny Cornwallis eye out, but the smile would have been followed by a frown if his dream had pictured to him the uninjured condition of Prof. Cornwall's optic. His slumbers were not disturbed, and in the ,morning he left the house forever. Chapin thinks that the girl acted impolitely in not waking him up, but others, equally well versed in the ways of society, say that he was to blame for mistaking a I THE NASSAU HERALD. 37 parlor for his College room. He gained the position of Society Editor on the Princetonian, and the Managing Editor spent most of his time keeping Chapin's poems out of print, but when one, by mistake, did appear, it proved that the author had gained a knowledge of the world from expe- rience. This is a sample stanza : She laid her head softly upon my breast, And said, in a sweet low tone, My darling, of all I love you the best, But you'll have to stop using cologne. Don't those sound like the Words of a man who has had experience? Take this burglar alarm, and the next time you pay a visit carry it with you. By springing it occasionally you may be able to keep awake. OUR LITERARY MAN. To pass from the ridiculous to the sublime we shall take our literary man, and request John M. Harris to come for- ward. By Gad, old fel, is that you ? Did you bring Bord Harriman with you? Bord and John together make up a very fine edifice. Bord is the main building and John is the Annex. Harris is accustomed to traveling on his looks, for when he went to- Philadelphia during the Presidential cam- paign he received quite an ovation before the people found out that he was not 'tBlack Jack Logan. He is an au- thority in literature, and should not he who knows the names of all Macaulay's works be an authority in literature? John is always anxious to air what he does know, which, by the way, needs all the airing it gets. His essays are all written in Macaulay's style, and many of them in Macaulay's own words. U Our-literary man is also an orator, and when Sammy criticised his Greek essay by saying that it was oratorical, though it had nothing to do with the subject, John thought that the climax had been reached, and that Demos- thenes was to be resurrected under the name of Harris. ss THE NASSAU HERALD. Rome had her Cicero, America her Henry Clay, and now '85 was to have her Harris. With your voice and general literary knowledge, could anything withstand you ? Balls Conner's speech on the Decline of Cratoryf' though he did speak it on every possible occasion, could prove nothing with a Harris in our midst. Your irst attempt at oratory was a great triumph, and when you delivered your speech to the Colored Republican Club, of Princeton, every one was raving over you the next day. The criticism of the old man who said, For the Lord's sake, but that young man can talk, was a good one. You are as bad as Ed. Wilson when he gets started on politics, except that he will stop when everything is conceded to him. In this primer you may be able to ind some words of less than ive syllables and thus give variety to your style. This bouquet was left for you by a young lady who only knows you as one of Bord Harri- man's friends. OUR MUSICAL FIENDS. From literature we pass to music. Our musical fiends have furnished us with discord at all hours of the day and night. Will Louis Frost and 'f Balls Conner step forward? In Frost we have a real, live composer. One who is not con- tent to wear out his piano and everybody's patience with the productions of a musician, but who wrote and published music exclusively for his own use-the result of his venture demonstrating this fact. He composed a waltz and gave it an extremely French name, something about ofamour, which was the nearest approach he could make to what the fellows shouted back while he was practicing it. Confine yourself in the future to performing on this mouth-organ. Its noise will be less shattering to the nerves. Balls, you have always had a great deal of wind. You could take an ordinary cornet, and, in a few moments, set sufficient air in motion to blow the beard off Billy Bell's face. Your solo in the Old Chapel, during which, in taking THE NASSAU HERALD. 39 a high note, you bent the cornet and ruined one of King Blades' ears, showed what you could do when put to the test. Take this bass-horn. On some quiet night get off about ten miles from all civilization, and blow yourself away. OUR MILITARY MAN. As music suggests soldiers, we will next have our mili- tary man, a leader in war, whether in 'the advance or the retreat. Will Gen. H. K. Jones step out with the left foot and advance. He fought gallantly through the Rebellion, and the oldest inhabitant recollects him as a lieutenant in the Mexican war. Beyond this we have no authentic record. Jones prides himself on looking like Napoleon, and holds that all great military men were small. His only regret is that he did not live in Napoleon's time, as he is sure that the populace would have flocked around him then to pay honor to his ability, as they do now to collect bills. Eyes front! Heels together! Toes out! Now take oil: that heav- enly smile, and try to look fierce. During his old age the General has been a great gallant, and once came home from a visit feeling very sad, as he thought he had made another girl's life unhappy. Sitting clown and burying his face in his hands, he murmured, I wonder whether she really loves me. Further investigation proved that she did not. Faith- ful Harry is a sportsman, but he has not done much to- wards exterminating the birds of New Jersey. No more will the robin wait until you have tired, and then slowly iiit away. No more will the people of Trenton ,see you at the head of a Democratic parade, dressed in all the magnificence of a blue tennis suit. Those days have passed. Take these weapons, and' hold yourself in readiness to serve your country. Right-about,face! Forward,march! 40 THE NASSAU HERALD. oUR rnizn MAN. There are many contestants for the Senior honors, and it seems fitting that those who ought to have received them should get some credit for their work. We will therefore request Eaton McLean Kempshall to display himselfl It is hard to match you, Buz. Kempshall started in Freshman year with the intention of taking the Bible prize, and know- ing that to gain it he must act the Lamb to the Faculty, has done so successfully, and now stands before you a symbol of purity and innocence. If he looks a trifle thin you must remember that he has been f:leeced many times. Notwithstanding this he pulled wool over the eyes of the Faculty and even deceived trusting Pard Lam- berton. He tells great tales of his miraculous adventures, and after hearing one of these, Grifiithis hair turned white from fright. He was out of his element in logic, and when Jeremy Ormond asked him a difficult question Buz was unable to answer it. Wishing to encourage him,Jererny said: I don't Wonder you can't get over this, Mr. Kemp- shall, as it is the 'pons asinorum! Kempshall would have won the Bible prize if it had not been for a few trifling mistakes. There were several catch questions which no man should have been expected to know, and he may have been slightly wrong in his answers to these. One was, Who, while in the desert, struck the rock with his rod, and what came forth from the rock? Our prize man answered that Pharaoh, the soil of Zebidee, was leading the Philistines in the desert, and that when he struck the rock nothing came forth. He was on to the catch ques- tion, but gave himself away by adding that it was the same Pharaoh who was cast into the den of lions for Wearing a coat of many colors. To the question, Who built the Ark? he first wrote Noah, but not being certain scratched it out and substituted the more general answer, A man who had several children and lived just before the THE NASSAU HERALD. Lil floodf' As his answers to the fair questions were more perfect than those to the '4 catch questions, it is obvious that he deserves this prize which the Class of '85 has author- ized me to present to him. Always wear it, Buz, as a warn- ing to the Faculty that genius is bound to have its reward. r 'C THE AGGREGATION OF CURIOSITIES.n Next comes H The Aggregation of Curiosities, and we 'will request Father Green, H Marks Foltz, Bord Harriman, 4' Phoenix Woodend, 4' Pat U Miles and 't Bob Sterry, to take their positions in the order of their names. Don't look so frightened, boys, Barnum knows nothing of this. Father, you look like a married man, but your aifection for '4,Mother Knox was doubted until you showed your jealousy on account of her supposed intrigue with Carey Gamble. Because Mother, out of the kindness of her heart knitted Gamble 'a pair of socks, she was compelled to suffer your displeasure through many weeks for having conferred a boon on humanity. Old age has dimmed your eye, but it still shines when beer is mentioned. However, Father has reformed, and since he has obtained a good foothold his faith has been as bright, permanent and unchanged as Nahm's celluloid cuffs. Take this milk-bottle, Green, and use it during your second childhood. Foltz, step back a foot or two and expand that chest. You are a scientific man, and your theory for the determination of the parallax of the sun by the 4' smoked-glass method is decidedly original. As a naturalist Foltz is the coming rival of Darwin, Huxley and Bob Carter. It is thought that he will live' to develop the missing link, or rather to develop into it. Look carefully into this. It may aid you in your life's work. Bord, as all the girls are running after you, take this open trap and keep it as a symbol of danger. 4 42 THE NASSAU HERALD. Phoenix, how you have grown! You are large enough to be a lover now. Here is the hat that Mary wore that event- ful day on which you met her in the Seminary grounds. Some of the ribbon was cut oft for a memento of the occa- sionby those present, but I am sure that anything that once belonged to Mary will be acceptable to you. Sterry and Miles are 4' our dynamitersf' It is obvious that Pat is fighting for his native country, but it is difficult to tell just where Sterry comes from. After a week's study in human classiication, Pat Macloskie decided that Bob was Irish, though he had to acknowledge that he did not'look it. Miles, it is said that in Freshman year, when the boys greased the railroad track, after the tallow gave out they used your cheek, but a little of it must have gone a long way, as it was not diminished to any perceptible extent. This story was confirmed by the evidence of a man who said that he saw a red ball of fire slowly moving down the track. This evidence was circumstantial, but conclusive, as Fred Burleigh had not turned out his beard at that time. Pat can have a great deal of fun out of very little money, for when in New York after a Yale game, he found himself with fifteen cents left, he spent it all, but had a roaring good time. He hurried all the way down Sixth avenue to the ferry in order to escape the rain, as he heard the elevated railroad trains passing overhead and thought it was thundering. The idea never struck him to look at the sky. Too many things had struckn him already. Bat is also a society man. Shag Wilson says the girls call him Mucilage. Probably because he is so soft and gives them so much glue. Take this hair dye, Pat, and with it put an end to all scandals in the future. As college nick-names are generally appropriate, Sterry, let us look for a moment at yours. You glory in the two most beautiful synonyms, 4' Mick and Bowery, names ih themselves suggestive of a short, thick-set man, with an Irish look and a paper collar. What! you are wearing a linen collar to-day? That makes your nick-names very inappropriate. The low-crowned Derby you wore when you ' THE NASSAU HERALD. 43 came to Princeton was the root of all the evil. That hat looked like it had been the original article from which the style had been taken twenty years ago. Every one spoke of it as the Bowery hat, and when Sterry, after clinging to it through several seasons, 't shot it, the name Bowery clung to him. With these cigarettes you can pay off some of your debts. At great expense your historic hat has been redeemed, so wear it off and thus bring up recollections of bygone days. ' OUR TWINS. We have reserved our twins for the last, as they are the pride of the Class. They are not Cleveland and Clark, for, though they look enough alike to be brothers, they do not resemble each other in disposition, while each of our. twins U is a counterpart of the other in face, form, character and morals. Will Senator Dawes and John Dickey toddle out. You can all see the similarity at a glance. Dickey has always been short, except when his friends were 4' flush. He would have been as large as Dawes if he had not injured himself in Freshman year by a great athletic feat. He made the distance between East College and the railroad station in ten seconds, and by this one great eifort beat the record, caught the train, and distanced the constable. Since that time John has been slowly growing in wisdom, while the Senator has confined himself to increasing in stature. The development started in his feet, which accounts for their size, but has not yet reached his brain, which may account for Prof Young's remark in astronomy, when, after asking sev- eral diflicult questions and receiving poor answers, he said, And now we come to the worst, Mr. Dawes. The Sen- ator answered, 5' Not prepared, and a voice from the back of the room murmured, It might have been worse. Dawes is the only man who attempts to rival Wilbur in Hightstown society, and Dickey is afraid to be seen in that lovely city for fear that some damsel might take him for N her Aaron. You need not look so haughty, Senator, that might 44 THE NASSAU HERALD. have happened. V The only inconvenience that Dickey has experienced on account of his size was when he tried to pur- chase a ticket in a Philadelphia theatre after dark, and was referred to a sign which read, NO MIN ORS ADMITTEDK' However, John' was not wearing his coat with real coat- tails that day. If our twins should decide to go on the stage they could make a great hit. As their tastes do not run very high, they could do the great transformation act in a dime museum. The advertisement could read '4 MON- STROSITY MUSEUM. Great attraction for this week only. Grand Miracle transformation act, entitled DICKEY, the boy- man, or how does he grow? Admission to all, 10 cents. Dickey, dressed in swaddling clothes, could appear to represent an infant. The curtain could be lowered an instant, and raised again, revealing Dawes dressed as a Jer- seydude in a pair of don't-they-tit-me-quick trousers and a plug hat. The piece would take, children, as no inex- perienced eye could detect the change. So you see another exempliication- of the .old saying, In union there is strength. Take these toys, and, when you are old enough to leave the nursery, think over the plan I have suggested. You had better hurry oft, Senator, as Dickey is getting angry because your toys have the most red paint on them, and we dont care to have a tight here. That will do. But one thing remains to be done. It is to beg Arthur Tree's pardon for not calling him up, but really it would have given him too much satisfaction to exhibit himself. As Thed. Pershing, in the Class Ode, has compared '85 to a fleet of ships setting out from harbor, we will carry the simile a little further, and see Pard. Lamberton heading for any kind of port, Ben Smith steering for Mt. Ararat to hunt up his long-lost family record, Balls Conner looking for a fog so that he may have an excuse to blow his horn, and all bowling merrily over the waves of life, and seeming to rejoice that the spars of the Faculty ship are slowly sinking beneath the horizon. s THE NASSAU HERALD. 45 Elf1'rnphecy,.g EDMUND WILSON, N.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: The past of this class the his- torian has given you, the present our presentation orator has illustrated. 'The programme yet promises a glimpse into the future. Permit me to open that window through which this glimpse must be directed. Dispensing withhthe customary allusion to 'fthe prophet in his own land, and without giving in minute detail that conventional yet ever strange, mysterious process by which all events of years to come are made to spread out in vivid panorama, your prophet will tell you some of the things he positively knows are sure to come to pass. ' Every country must have its crack marksman. There must be eminence in all directions, if a nation would be truly great. The Bogardus of the future, ladies and gen- tlemen, is sitting before you this afternoon on yonder bench, and his name is Benjamin Bozwell Smith. There is no use in looking so bored, Bennie, you know you asked me to give you a good send-oif, and I am trying my level best to do it. We naturally expect a Bozwell to havelsome intimate or confidant. Bozwell Smith is no exception. His boon 46 THE NASSAU HERALD. companion, table companion and second self, is Edward King Blades, of Illinois. I have given his name as he delights to write it, but will omit for the present that chain of reasoning by which he traces his lineal descent from the King Edwards of history. Nobody ever knew what drew these two men together into such close and harmonious intimacy. They love each other like brothers--see them now smirking and smiling at each other, like two newly-plighted lovers. Blades began the practice of law, while Bennie opened those operations in farming by which he expected to make that fortune he had dreamed and talked about so long. But the venture wasn't successful-not a whit more successful than Jacksoizfs efforts in tricycle riding. Dry weather killed his crops, and cholera played the dickens with his live stock. And so it came about that that mysterious power which draws congenial spirits together introduced them to each other one day. in the far, far West. They were both hunting, of course. Disgust and disappointment had driven themboth from the occupation of their tirst choice, and both had drifted into a Bohemian existence, which chagrin is apt to make inviting. Once met, however, they swore that nothing should now part them. Having built for themselves the regulation shanty near the buftalo's trail and the wild fowl's haunt, they settled down with Utopian-like happiness into trapping and hunting as a business. Of course they quarreled some, they always did 5 of course, they fought two or three times a day to settle the question as to who was the best shot, Sze. But these were small matters, after all, for even though Blades was in the wrong, as he usually was, he yielded with good grace, because he always fell back on that comforting. formula of his, 4' Well, I could have done it if I wanted to. Shag Wilson worked on a Philadelphia newspaper until it was swamped by libel suits which his caustic pen had entailed. Just about this time the Faculty solved the question as to what should be the province of a college THE NASSAU HERALD. 47 paper. They reached the solution of this problem after a careful study of Russian systems, where no editorial criticism at all is allowed. The penalty for violating this law in col- lege, just as in Russia, was certain death. In order to make things doubly sure, the Faculty decided to hold the manage- ment of the college papers in their own hands, and elected Shag Wilson, their old-time favorite, as acting editor. But Shag's temper got the best of him on one occasion, and he said something that just did the business. He was beheaded in front of Old North Hall. His speech on the scaffold was a re-hash of his Washington Birthday produc- tion, only his voice Was so weakened with emotion that he couldn't shout near as loud as he did on that memorable occasion referred to. On the slab which marked the last resting-place of this martyr to the freedom of the press, We read, with tearful eyes, this inscription : Q FREDERICK H.

I forbear to tell how, finally, you arranged a meeting with her--or rather him- 48 THE NASSAU HERALD. , and how Chapin kept the appointment, arrayed in gorgeous female attire, a very jewel in truth. Yes, I know how you wandered about the streets and down the railroad track, pouring in his ear all the while, as original, such quotations as this from Victor Hugo: '4 I love you, dear, as I love my life. Do you ask me why? Why is it that the grass grows, that the birds sing,dand all nature bursts in bloom with the April shower? Answer me this, and then -but you never finished. Chapin began to snicker, and gave the whole snap away. But never mind, Woodend, he has since read the rest of that impassioned appeal you didn't have time to finish, in one of Hugo's novels. Well, as Woodend once remarked himself, professional mashing is deuced hard work, and Woodeiid worked so hard at his profession that he grew as thin as a shadow. So thin, in fact, that he was arrested one day in Texas for not having any visible means of support. Charlie McClumpha went into the theatrical business, and just coined money as a song-and-dance variety artist. I am sure that you will be pained to learn that he showed his entire devotion to the stage by eloping with the star actress in his company. A Butfyou gave promise of this wayward course when you screwed up courage to present that bouquet of arbutus to that young lady here in town the other day. That was a neat speech you made, too, in reply to her flattering exclamation, '4 What a delicate shade of pink. Oh, how beautiful they are, Mr. Mc- Clumphaln You know what you said then, you old de- ceiver, and I am going to give you away. Yes, they are beautiful, they're just the color of your cheeks, you knowf' Riggs went into politics, and was the means of introduc- ing many unique improvements. For example, he always averred that an ivy branch was a much -more efficacious thing to pull one's self into ottice with than the strongest kind of wire. At length he aspired to the presidency. But alas, for vaulting ambition! He never could manage to get THE NASSAU HERALD. . 49 into the presidential chair, for the same reason that David Davis never could-too much avoirdupois.

Shakespeare, I believe, is responsible for the statement that some men are born great, some achieve'greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon themf' John,you were born greatg you can no more help it than you can help being handsome. That was rather a rich story, though, you told about what Dr. McCosh said to you after your famous Chapel Stage oration. You quoted him as exclaiming-'4 Why, Mr. Harris, that's the best speech I've heard from any man, young or old, since I left the old country I Don't look scared, John, Dr. McCosh isn't here this afternoon. Well, John's love for letters drove him into literature. His tirst, last and only effusion was a work in two volumes entitled, 'C How to Get Married-and Stay So. The book showed a keen meta- physical instinct-not quite as keen as Beattie and Poker Mcllvaine are thought to possess, but not to be despised at by any means. One who ,read the book was especially im- pressed with this thought, viz. : This author must have been a man of thewidest collateral reading. It happened that this valuable manual on rnatrimony fell into Colonel Jones' 'hands about the time he was trying to pop the question to a very bashful girl. Jones always had implicit confddence in Harris, almost as much as Harriman has, and so he pro- ceeded to decide his fate according to the rules layed down for the contingency in Harris' book. The girl surrendered, not quite as quickly perhaps as she would have done, pro- vided John could have applied personally those rules which he had empirically proved, but anyhow she said yes, and Jones was a happy man. Thus it was that Colonel Jones took the class cup. ' Feeling that you would all be anxious to know something of Mr. Clinton W. Bird, the monument of good nature, your prophet made every endeavor to secure information as J 50 THE NASSAU HERALD. to his career. All attempts, however,'proved futile. As utterly futile as Swartz's trial at playing the dude, or Kempshall's straining to raise a full beard. Bird was an uncertain sort of a character, even in college. Wheii he rode to Hightstown that bitter cold night last winter, to attend the grand ball, he found, on reaching the place, he had confused the date, and was twenty-four hours ahead of time. He didn't turn around and come home, as most men would. Oh, no! he kept right on going. No one ever found out the direction, but he kept moving, and at noon next day he sent this telegram, to relieve the anxiety of his friends : TRENTON, N. J., March 27th, 1385. Perhaps I am in Philadelphia. I may be in New York, but I think they call this town New Orleans, and Pm here on exhibition. Hold on half a second, and I'll ind out exactly where I am. Grive my love to President McCosh, D.D., LL.D., Ph.D. CLrN'roN VV. BIRD. Of course the message relieved his friends of all anxiety and small change, too, for it was sent 4' collect. It seems that Bird carried with him, after leaving Princeton, the same vicarious habits, so that no one could tind out where he was or what ,he was doing, and at length -your prophet gave up the chase in despair. It was my good fortune to visit ff Balls Conner's famous dime museum in Chicago. '4Balls was right on deck as usual, and while he didn't offer his usual exhortation, Now, all talk I he did plenty of talking himself. He told, in his own inimitable style, about tt the world of mystery and vast- ness within, and then clinched each item thus: Gather around, kind friends, listen and learn. But, above all, recol- lect our price of admission is only ten cents, two nickels, one dime. Now, who will be the next to buy a ticket and while away an hour in our chamber ot' marvels. The show was just what Balls represented it to be, 'S a realm of Won- ders, for there, just inside the door, was Coulter posing for Apollo Belvedere. Near him was Henry Thompson, the THE NASSAU HERALD. 51 misanthrope and lightning calculator, and Arthur Tree, the heart-cracker, and U goateed dude. There stood 'C Baldy D Parker, too, on a pedestal bearing the legend, A statue of Napoleon--Ladies please not fondlef' When one of the audience wanted to know, as did Mark Twain about the statue of Columbus, whether or not this was the iirst time the gentleman had been on a bust, Parker, though he was supposed to be cold and lifeless marble, began to mutter, No, one other bust. That New Haven racket. You must know, ladies and gentlemen, that there are many men before you of high aspirations. There is Rochelle, who aspires to be the successful candidate for Vice-President when 'C Pete Umsted is elected President on a national prohibition temperance ticket. Rochelle claimed, you remem- ber, to be the father of the recent temperance movement in College, and I guess he was. He's old enough to be, any- how. But, speaking of high aspirations, Bombey Wilbur is miles higher in that direction than any one else. Why, in his Chapel Stage speech, Wilbur mapped out his own future. These were the last words of his eloquent, conclud- ing climax: Let other men handle dusty tomes of dry- boned law and theology, but, asfor me, let me be a heelerf' I believe his aspirations were realized, though I could never tind out exactly Where the saloon was situated, or whether they kept a free lunch counter there or not. Lynch, after wearing, the grim and stolid expression .of a stoic philosopher for nearly half a century, at length smiled. Not the way Birdie and Harry Toler smiled just before their vacation last term-but he really smiled. What provoked it was a volume of humorous stories written by Paul Scharff. Lynch was sitting in a railroad train when the smile came on. It shook him like Jersey chills and fever, in fact, it distorted his features so strangely, and made him look so wild, that all the passengers thought 4' he had 'em, sure, and in consequence he was arrested. It goes without the saying that Lynch never smiled again. Jo. Sturges, who 52 THE NASSAU HERALD. was then a regular contributor to a New York dime library, wrote a very pathetic story, in the approved Lit. style, you know, entitled The Life of Judge Lynch, or the Man of a Single Smile. By his life-long friend, J. Sturges. This book became associated in the mind of the public with that equally harrowing tale The Man Without a Country. Paul Weir followed the bent of his talent. He loved art for art's sake. He believed in copying nature. True to nature, was his motto. So, when Weir painted man, for example, man appeared on his canvas minus those foibles in dress and decorations which fashion seems ever willing to impose. Indeed, his cartoons in the illustrated weeklies were so much like Nast's that Weir at length adopted a nom de plume that sounded as near to that of Harper's famous artist as he dared to get. Weir signed himself TV, H. Nasty, and his friends said that the subscription was a pretty good criticism on his pictures, since they had changed but little in character since his college days. James Harlan Cleveland, like most Southern men, was proud of his native State. He began to cultivate this spirit in Freshman year. Cleve, don't you recall what took place after your gallant cane-spree tight? There you lay, skin peeled from your cheek Qthough you had plenty of it leftj, nose gory and disfigured, clothes dirty and torn, those auburn locks disheveled and bedewed with perspiration-a strik- ing picture of what Bulwer meant when he spoke of the exhausted gladiator. Yes, there you lay on the green turf back of Re-union, and the crowd thought you had fainted or were perhaps dying. The wisdom of the omnis- cient Senior came 'to our relief The gentleman of the upper class poured out from a little black bottle a goodly potion of what even a Freshman's untutored nose recog- nized as genuine U balloon juice. Just as the dose was being administed, Walter B. Head, who never could tolerate spirit frumenti, suggested that the stuif be diluted with water. Then those silent lips of yours opened, and this is THE NASSAU HERALD. 53 what they whispered: ttNever mind the water, I'1l take it straight, I came from Kentucky. Cleveland at last bee came so proud of 4' old Kentuck that old Kentuck got proud of him, and sent him to Congress. Your prophet was in the gallery on one occasion, just before vote was taken on an important bill. There were two men in the group of statesmen who seemed strangely familiar to me, yet I could not place them. I should have taken 'one of them for Burleigh, had I not known that Fred had gone as a missionary to Africa some months before. The other looked something like Woodruf, but I had learned that Woodruft' was running a gambling den at Elizabeth, N. J. At length the two men I was puzzling over moved hurriedly over to Cleveland's desk, with a worried expression on their faces, and asked, 't Cleve, old boy, how shall we vote? 4'Vote, said Cleveland, in his deep pursuasive voice, 'F vote as you always have 5 vote as I do? ,Instantly I recog- nized the two, for there was John iConey's child-like smile and Thed. Pershing's unmistakable oracular face. It all came over me like a flash. Here was the old Cleveland- Pershing-Coney combination reunited after many years. It was the same old firm, 4' Cleveland 85 Co., still acting according to the unit rule, with Cleveland still acting as the unit. u Iiamberton, as a lawyer in Missouri, was a success, in fact a legal magnet. Your prophet heard him argue his first case. ttPard thought he would paralyze the jury by a display of erudition which would at once win a verdict for his client and secure for himself the reputation of a pro- found scholar. This is a part of what he said and how he said it: He arose with his accustomed easy grace and by way of introduction drew his Hnger around on the inside of his collar, a trick he learned in college. Clearing his throat in his own peculiar, energetic fashion, that meant now look out for me, he began: May it please your honor and gentlemen of the jury, I don't think this prisoner is guilty. 54 THE NASSAU HERALD. Who says he is guilty? . I say he ain't guilty, and if any man contradicts me Iill stop my argument long enough to arrange a meeting with him inside of 24 hours. Lawyer Ilamberton put a period here by slamming both fists down on the table in front of him with such vehemence as to make the dust rise in little clouds from the green baize covering. But no one contradicted and Harry resumed. Now, how could my client steal that horse? Weigh the evidence, gentlemen, scientifically, and bear in mind I exclude such facts in this case as do not conform to that just standard of the Malthusian Theory and the Law of Dimin- ishing Returns. Remember, also, that the torsion balance of justice and NeWton's Laws are for the acquittal of my client, and I am sure you will bring in a verdict of not guilty Without leaving your seats, and the jury did. From that day Pard's', reputation. for profundity and Wide acquaintance with law, both human and divine, was fully established. I heard the foreman of that jury remark as the crowd Was dispersing, that there Pard Lamberton's hot, I tell you, he's deep, too, and I know' it. But by thunder you Wouldn't never suspect it to see him dovvnlat the store nights, sipping his pisin and squirting tobacco juice at the old stove, just like the rest of us. One more scene, my friends, and I have finished. Thirty years had passed to a day since our graduation. Oom- mencement Week, with its customary festivities, had come, the same old, bald-headed jokes were cracked around this same old cannon, and a patient, long-suffering audience had again laughed with good-natured courtesy. It was much the same drama as We are this day enacting. Only strange races filled the stage, and strange forms filled the seats in the amphitheater. But there was something that interests us especially. It was then that the Class of '85 gathered in Re-union. We wandered once again beneath these elms with their generous shades. Once more the college 'cheer burst from our throats, not so loud and ringing as to-day, THE NASSAU HERALD. 55 perhaps, but none the less patriotic. Again we visited the recitation hall, where we had so often fizzled, flunked and toreg and the dormitory rooms that had been our dwelling- place during the four years of our college life. All this seemed familiar, but there was more-much more-that made the old College-strange to us, and us strangers to her. The institution had grown, expanded out of our knowledge and expectation. Nowhere could we find what in our mem- ories we knew we had left behind. There was something of an Adam Bedeis sadness at finding no traces of the first battles we had fought-no matter whether lost or won-and at seeing ourselves forgotten. That night the class had its supper. Oh! how plainly do I see it all. The boys-old boys now-lined the table's sides. What changes those thirty years had wrought. There were some, too, who did not answer to the roll-call. But, who can tell, perhaps that call was heard at the last most precious re-union above, and perhaps the answer given was only dying into echo with the solemn thoughts and pious hush that fell upon us. For, after all- . Between two worlds, Life hangs like a star. Some had become eminent, some distinguished, but more had stood manfully and honored in the crowded ranks of mediocrity. All had changed-some for better, some for worse. There were faces all up and down that table that showed the scars of life's reality. Faces furrowed with per- plexity and sorrow, faces stamped with the unmistakable fiat of successg faces wearing indelible marks of disappoint- ment. But that night the scars and wrinkles of exhausting care seemed softened and less distinct. Every face was lit with a joyousness it had not known for many a day. It was then we appreciated, as we never had before, what Dr. Holmes meant when he wrote for just such an occasion as this: ' 56 THE NASSAU HERALD. Hang the almanae's cheat and the catalogue's spite! Old Time is a liar, we're twenty to-night. WVhat! gray heads at twenty ? Yes 5 white, if you pleaseg Where the snow-flakes fall thickest, There's nothing can freeze. Yes, the cynics of to-day who scott' at the idea of sadness in parting, terming all this a grow th of cheap, shallow senti- mentalisrn, sat at that table that night with bowed heads. They then and there gave up forever their Timon-like sneer- ing, and confessed that whatever else their Alma Mater- bestowed, she had given the warmest, dearest friends and the fondest recollections time had yet brought them. The part- ing of that day, after having lived overagain the scenes of a happy and a well-spent youth in the lap of our Alma Maier, was the saddest we had yet felt. Our prayer, as we separated, the most of us never to meet again, was the prayer of the haunted man in Dickens' Christmas story, God, keepithe memories of my boyhood green.

I HAVE BEEN chosen by the Class to give anillustration of a peculiar habit-a habit which we all have when we come to college, and which many of us retain when we leave. I have been chosen to say to our historian, prophet and pres- entation orator, You're another! In return for all the cuts, the hits, the grinds, the borings, the heart-burnings, and unpleasant revelations which have been visited upon the Class to-day-and I have had a -share in them, too-I am called upon to give the perpetrators as good for as badj as they have sent. To my task, then. '- A grind has never been gotten oft' upon our historian, with- out his having something ready in reply. For once in his course, however, he must sit mute, while he is being given away. He always liked to lay .down the law on college matters, but he could also back up his statements. He liked to talk a great deal 3 but he usually talked to good elfect. If Sturges ever rises to famel-there is good reason to expect it-and he is placed among the constellations, as the renowned men of the ancients were, I think it will be in the constellation Ccmis Major' QGreat Dogj, or else as Sirius, the dog-star. There has been some speculation how he ever gained that appellation of Udogf, But if you will allow me to draw you away into the dark backward and abysm of timef' i. e., way back in Freshman year, I think that I can explain it. They had a Kennel Club then. Kittle and General Jones and King Blades and other sports were the 5 58 THE NASSAU HERALD. principal dog fanciersg Thorp was veterinary surgeon, and Iiockertie master of the hounds. There were two qualifi- cations for membership, irst, the possession. of a dog. Kittie had a shaggy, brown, tailless canine. Several men were admitted on one brute, because of their noble-hearted action in rescuing it from vivisection in the laboratory. Others picked up curs from the streets. Although Tree stoutly denied it, many said that was where he secured his dog, Dick. The other qualiication for membership was, that the applicant had to belong to the elite. Sturges was all right on this score., For he used to run with Tree and Gib- bie and Grussie Smith, and was quite as tt dog as any of them, except Tree, perhaps. He longed to join the Kennel Club, for Tree had told him that 4' it was the thing, you know. But he owned no dog, and a dog he must have, before he could be admitted. So he imported one from New York, a white rabbit-like pup. He said it had a pedigree, though no one ever saw it. He used to keep it in his room until he was nearly forced to vacate altogether in favor of the dog. Meanwhile, at the next meeting of the club his name was proposed. Tree urged the good qualities of .our historian's dog. But the other members declared that they could stand a laboratory subject, or a cur from the street, or even Tree's own dog, 't Dick, but they drew the line on that pup from New York. But why go further? Is not the appellation suiiciently explained? In case our historian was too severe on the Class, I intended to add to this sketch some bad grinds which I have on him. But I will spare him, for his bark has been worse than his bite. So, with a pat on the back and a Good dog! We will bid him go to--his home. V President Woolsey declares that a republic cannot last unless its public men are possessed of virtue. President Woolsey has evidently never been in Washington and fallen in with a politician. Ed. Wilson was distinctively the poli- tician of his Class, for college has its little world of politics, THE NASSAU HERALD. 59 and Ed. even dabbled a little in real politics during the last campaign. He usually managed to turn up on the right side of everything, no matter how many acrobatic contor- tions it required to accomplish the feat. But he was left the time that he supported-the grand old party. He was well fitted for this role of politician and would-be moulder of public opinion. No one could spin a yarn and impress you with the entire truth of his statements better than Ed. He had a vast presence, loud voice and brazen composure. He made a profound impression on Freshmen. Upper classmen had become accustomed to his delivery, and failed to be struck by him. In fact, Ed. was like a pitcher who is very eifective till the batters get onto his delivery, and who then ought to be retired to the out-field. But Ed. never retired, except when he was removed by the president Qof the col- legej for xoifensive partisanship. I can see him now in a mass-meeting, with that alert yet careless air of his and with his cap drawn downover his eyes, blowing cigarette smoke into the eyes of public opinion. In fact, I must be thinking of that memorable mass-meeting on the subject of the new base-ball constitution. Ed. was opposed to it, for no special reason, apparently-constitutionally opposed to it, because he had not had a finger in its making. ' The parallel between Ed. and Conkling had always struck my fancy, and particularly so on this occasion. Ed. had his 'fmeatooi' beside him, Jackson. Jackson seconded all of Ed.'s motions, and played second Eddie to Ed.'s first in ex- cellent harmony. As soon as Ed. had inished his speech, Jackson, confident of his chief's success, called loudly for the vote to be taken. At Chicago, in running Grant for a third term, Conkling had 306 followers. In this base- ball mass-meeting Ed. also had 306 followers-minus 300. Conkling had medals struck OH to distribute among his backers. I have never heard whether or not Ed. had any made to present to his noble little band of six. I have not mentioned yet that they called Ed. U Shanghai. Conkling 60 THE NASSAU HERALD. is represented as a pea-cock. I believe there is something similar in the fowls. But, with all of his sardonic self-con- iidence, he was remarkablytsensitive to the opinions of others. If this soft spot in his character is ever developed under the kindly influence of his native Shrewsbury, per- haps he will be weaned from the iilthy moil of politics. It would be better for the politics. Abraham Bradley Gaither-look at him. You have heard his nasal intonationsg you have seen his lanky strideg you must have noticed his angularity of features.

Abe was particularly of the shape of his legs, and his devil's costume showed them off to great advantage. Instead of playing the devil on the stage, however, he wanted to play it on an irreverent brother of his in the audience, who murmured audibly, Hades, look at the shanks that fellow slings! Abe was also distinguished on the ros- trum. I never heard a more inspiring oration than that one of his on Nihilism in Russia. You .had to hear it a great many times before you could appreci- ate its full perfection. Do not think Abe conceited, because he shared the same opinion, and repeated it often-very THE NASSAU HERALD. 61 often. In it he traced that idea of Nihilism 'C From the earliest ages -. He used it for other purposes, besides as an oration. Although Nihilism was not the required sub- ject, Abe told Murray that he was very much interested in it, and would like to write on it for his essay. After Mur- ray had received the same production for three successive years, he called Abe up one day and told him that his mind would become Warped if he became so much interested in one line of thought. Raymond coached him in it for all of his Hall contests, and when original orationsfrom each member of the class were required in Senior year, he was a little taken back when Abe handed him it Nihilism in Russiaj? saying, that there was his original oration. But Abe was not satisfied With his repetitions of it in college.

They have viv- idly recalled many almost forgotten incidents of the years during which we have been together. They have intensified Class feeling, and now, that they draw to a close and our mirth subsides, we begin to appreciate the full meaning of separation. The lights and shadows of college days are for- ever gone. Our course is finished. As we realize that the customary hours of study, the daily assembling in the class- room, the excitement of college contests, and the pleasures of social intercourse are now but memories of the past, the deepest feelings of our college days center in these moments. When we hastily scan the time gone by, attachments for thc place, hitherto undiscovered, disclose themselves. Around the College room, the Campus, and the ball Held, cling pleasant recollections which, one after another, rise before the vision. From our surroundings our thoughts instinct- ively turn to our Class, for the last time assembled. A few years ago we were thrown together as strangers, but warm hearts, kindred desires, and daily contact, have since that time continually strengthened friendship, .until the tie which binds us together is of such a nature that we can never be indifferent to one another's welfare, and, even in youth, our thoughts to-day are turned aside from the future to unite in a common regret that this is the hour of separation. Yes, there is something more than a general regard for every member of the class, but circumstances have attached us to a few, with whom have been formed sincere friendj THE NASSAU HERALD. 63 ships of a life-long character. It is to these few that we have been drawn by the tendencies of our nature, it is they who have sympathized 'with us in pleasures and in disap- pointments. Their presence we shall truly miss. The sep- aration from these friends is like the parting with one's own household, and, as we go forth, it is the recollections of such attachments that will oftenest lead us to think of the old days, and will surround this place with the pleasantest memories. Time will soon erase the M85 upon the cannon, and the class also will be forgotten by those who remain in the Col- lege. To them this day will be but one of many, to us itis one long to be remembered, for the most vivid impressions are those of the parting hour. We shall ever, most natur- ally, recall our classmates as they now appear 5 and when, in after years, we meet from time to time, the gray hairs, the wrinkled brow, as we gaze upon them, will disappear, and we shall look into those same faces which are before us to-day. - Ere this, one of our number, in a despondent moment, has been borne down by life's sorrows. We regretfully drop al flower to his memory. As we do so, we, who have associ- ated with him, are reminded that, in years to come, trials await us all, and bright hopes will give place to stern realities. Yet it is pleasing to think that, after time has removed much that has marred the four years we have spent together, the memories of these happy days gone by will often cheer our spirits and lead us to long for the light heart and the freedom from care which to-day is only half appreciated. As we separate let us employ the experiences of these years. Let our intellectual training strengthen our man- hood and guide us in times of perplexityg let our knowl- edge of each other broaden our minds, and make us liberal in all our transactions, let these pleasant memories cast aside gloom, and, while age is slowly altering our appear- ance, keep our hearts forever young, let even our failures 64 THE NASSAU HERALD.
