I . , ..... H .... I .................................. QV- In glancing through one of the early volumes of Charles Dudley Warner's Library of the World's Best Literature, we met, in the Emerson section, au extract from one of the sage's fine pages that ran in this wise : Meantime the colleges, whilst they provide us with libraries, furnish no pro- fessor of books g and I think, no chair is so much wanted. It is doubtful if any phrase could so happily describe at once the. function and the achievement of Mr. Warner in his new and great work. He himself is essentially a professor of books, although the charm of his work has tended to .make us forget his wide and varied learning. And knowing not only books, but living writers and critics as well, Mr. Warner has gathered around him as advisers and aids other pro- fessors of books, not men of the Dryasdust school, but those who possess the same salient charm and graphic power as himself. h The result of this remarkable literary movement has been to provide the great reading public, the busy public of ever scant leisure, with just what Emerson declared more than half a century ago we so much needed, namely, a guide to the best reading. Emerson indeed likens a li- , brary of miscellaneous books to a N lottery wherein there are a hundred i blariks to Hon? tprize, anlcnl fipagly exe aims a some c ari a e soul, after losing a great deal of time among the false books, and alighting upon a few true ones which made him happy and wise, would do a right-act in naming tlgose gvhich have beets bridggs ii:- s ips o carry nn sa e yover ar morasses andbarren oceans into the heart of sacred cities, into palaces and temples. This is precisely what Mr. Warner's new library does in the fine, critical articles which preface the master-works of the greatest writers. Enactly as the professor of chemistry or physics or astronomy or biolovfy gives the student a view of the whole field of his science, the summary of its achievements, its great names and its great works, so Mr. 'Warner and his associates have given ns the dis- tillation, not merely of the whole world's literature, in itself a colos- sal attempt, but, in addition, its fs' history, biography, and criticism as well. It is only when we grasp its full import that we realize the truly vast and monumental char- ZICUSI' of the Library. It must assuredly rank as one of the most notable achievements ofthe century. That there is a wide-spread desire among all classes to possess these thirty treasure volumes clearly appears from the num ber and character ofthe letters which are coming faq? far and nesir tobthe Harper's Weekly Club, through which a portion of the iirst e 1 ion is ceing istri uted. Although the first edition is the most desirable, because printed from the fresh, new plates, the publishers, instead of advancing the price, have actually reduced -it nearly half, so as to quickly place a few sets in each community for inspection. The demand for the most desirable Iirst edition is so active, and the number of sets allotted to be distributed 15,50 limited, it is safest for those who really covet this invalu- able Library of Mr. Warner's to write at once to Hai-per's Weekly Club, QI Fifth Avenue, New York, for sample pages and special prices to members of the Club now forming, and which will close the last day of the present month. n .

Yes, yonder are the same old rafters, and here are we to commemorate the birth of him who was First in War, Second in Peace, and Third in the Hearts of his Countrymenf' a When George hrst clapped his optics on this mundane sphere he was but a mere youth, but, unlike Bunnie Hutch- inson and Marbles, attained the full stature of manhood at the age of sixteen. These two diminutive brownies, after getting outside of large wads of sterilized milk, H-O and them fat'nin' foods, tripped gaily gymward in hopes that vigorous exercise might add perchance one cubit to their stature. Mr. Goldie did not see it that way. He threw them both out, and left them to nurse their poor bruised bodies, remarking to Ned Shortz, the shot-putter: those tow11 kids will be the death of me yetf' ' Geo. Washington,s early life was spent in throwing cold hands with Pop Keener, and chasing the fleeting deer over the virgin hills of Virginia. Spot Stahl never chased any- thing but a can. Washington made Cornwallis eat such large, luscious slices of American crow, that Shi Thompson's grandest feats of gormandizing would be as the iiame of the light- ning-bug to the glorious effnlgence of the noon-day sun. W'ashington showed that he was a good sailor by tying the British Lionls tail into any number of hard and difficult knots, and Bill Church told me on the quiet that it would be fourteen thousand seventeen hundred and ninety-six years before he would get them untied. Georgels name will be handed down to posterity, but let us not forget that Ninety-Seven has lasting -names,--names that will not only be written high upon our Country's tablets of honor, but also be left unerased on Jimmie Calhounls slate.

U I did it with my little l1atchet, cried George 'Washing- ton, but Pigeon Wreiin said, with my good right arm I smote them, hip and thigh. just as the noble knights of the Crusaders scattered death and destruction around the walls of jerusalem, thus did I hurl the town muckers to the four winds of heaven. Then peacefully imprinting the Sesquicentennial kiss upon the rescued maiden's brow, I gallantly ushered her down johnts alley. Therels 'fPoke Evans, the man of iron nerve, who dares to call a ten cent bet on aces full of queens, and grace- fully informs the Mills Meeting Committee if they want to hold a prayer meeting in his room, he does not give a damn. H Poke Evans and good old solid English are inseparable, and so is Sankey and that 'Varsity P. How about that? Please show it to the ladies, Sank. Oh, I see you are all dressed up to-day. It's too bad, Sank, that you cannot wear it, you would feel so proud! They do say, Sank, that you wear 'varsity monograms on your dress suit, and even dye that mustache a delicate orange hue. It was a proud moment for Lord Dunraven Ira Allen Sankey when he first donned that ,varsity sweater and stood before the assembled multitude Hthe observed of all observers. Prouder was the moment when Fred Smithwon his first 'varsity cap. The-first chance Fred got he wore it home to astonish the nativesfand advertise the fact that he was a Princeton man. But H pride goeth before a fall,l' and Fred tumbled in the jersey City station, when a 'chollie' boy addressed him brusquely, U Porter!

Willie Wilson never takes any medicine for his trouble, for lying is chronic in Williels case. zo THE NASSAU HERALD. There's an Ananias for your money, a real polished eighteen karat, gilt-edged, up-to-date bender of the truth. It's no trouble to show goods, and here's one of Wil1ie's maiden efforts, for the night was young when it was told. 'K Fellows, a strange thing happened to me while I was duck shooting on the Great Salt Lake, in ,Utah. The morning was stormy so I took a can of oil to keep down the waves. The oil worked like a charm until the sneak- box sprung a leak. I was half a mile from shore. Deep water was under me. All seemed lost. HA sudden thought cam.e to me. I emptied the can, placed it to my lips, and sank to the bottom as the boat went down. Feeling some- what tired after my exertions, I sat down upon a rock to rest. Then, taking a long deep breath from the can, I walked to the shore. The air tasted a little oily, but I could not complain, as that air saved my life. Willie, the Lord loves a cheerful liar. Maybe Washington did not lie, but I'll bet three sus- pender buttons and one of Padgett's brass knuckles against Mother Bedford's propensity for boot licking that 'he smoked, and it was cigarettes at that. Speaking of smoking, I am reminded of Hick Smythls first trip to Trenton. After looking over the I' Cotel' House, Hick took a cyar N down town to see the elephant. He soon hankered after a smoke, and, pushing open the doo ofa segar stoo H, 'fbotel' a cigar. Here I-Iick's trouble began. That cigar refused to smoke. A mustard plaster could not have drawn harder than Hick, but the cigar was obstinate. His southern mad got up and he rushed wildly back into the store, only to meet the re- mark : 4' Bite the end off, sonny. Hick took the kind advice, and then discovered an alcohol lamp on the show- case. . l Leaning over the flame, Hick started his bellows working for all they were worth, but the only thing he succeeded in WASHINGTON7S BIRTHDAY ORATION. 21 lighting was his hair. The proprietor, seeing Hick was U new, lifted an alcohol stick from the side of the lamp, dipped it in the flame, and gave I-Iick a light. I-Iick's eyes bulged dnt with surprise as he murmured in his Charleston accent: HThere ain't no telling what people will git up nextfl Smyth may have been a farmer, but so is Pip Wheeler. And, in the immortal words of Red Gulick, the mos' cosim'pol'tan man in the clash. They are not the only Galaruca Xanthomelaeisus on the Princeton elm trees. A green goods man would find a field rivalling the Hoop- pole County Fair at Hemlock Hollow if he should find Perkins, Babcock, Mills, and that assemblage of paper sports. ' Roys is somewhat of an American Agriculturist, too. In Freshman year he started for New York to take some girls to the football game, but left his tickets at home. Roys discovered the fact at New Brunswick and telegraphed to a friend in Princeton to send them up to New York in time for the game, but failed to mention an address. Roys, did you think New York was as small a place as Lyons? A Wasliington visited Princeton once upon a time but only left a cannon for Dicky Dwight to make speeches to. CLuckily, Itchy Wood, he with the Shylock palm, had not yet appeared on these V classic walks, or George would have left even his wig behindj. Alas, the days of Hungry Golden are numbered, for there's another Richmond in the field, and now ,tis VVoody that greets the Freshmen with a bland smile and charges them fifty cents for his company as far as the Nassau Hotel. Even then there is no escape, for Itchy sells everything from a milk bottle to luxurious apartments in Edwards Hall. Fellows, I want to warn you 3 Itchy has discovered a new source of revenue, and intends charging admission to Dr. Patton's lectures on U Evidences of Christianityf' 22 THE NAssAU HERALD. Shortly after Georgels arrival in Princeton he fell in love. History repeats itself, for.so did Freddie McNish. Freddie's friend, jarvie Geer, was in love with two girls when he came to town but, unlike Buck Thompson, could not choose betwixt the two. A few days- after college opened, jarvie received a dainty box of Huyler's from one of these fair creatures. Here he displayed his craftiness. After extracting a picture and note from the box he ex- pressed it to the other girl, but Jarvie did not known there was a lady's card in the bottom of the box. Moral : 4' Don't try to kill two birds with one stone. You are a sly fox, Jarvie, even if your feet don't trackjl as a VV ash- ington girl remarked at the Glee Club dance in Washiiigton. Dance! Dance! Oh, yes. Fred. Smith made me pro- mise to ask Ollie Campbell where he learned the linale to the dance he gave in Willie Wilsonls room the night he was impersonating King Menelik. And this all happened in one night, too. 'Most every-' thing that is interesting happens at night. Take this for instance: ' The stars were shining bright, and the campus was put- ting on its night cap for a good long sleep before the morrow. Two ngures sauntered leisurely down the walk past East, one was sliinness personified in the length pro- portions of Skin Jessup. The other was none other than Harry Beam, of Fresh Air Fund farne. They were discuss- ing mighty questions on the mechanical theory of the top, when suddenly they were startled by a wild, weird and hellish sound, which increased in volume as the seconds sped. Some rapid deductions cz Za Sherlock Holmes fol- lowed, and the duo pranced madly into the north entry of East College. They beat wildly upon a door, and breath- less and expectant they waited. No response, only wild, discordant shrieks made a wreck of the stilly night. Witli one mighty heave of jessup's brawny shoulders the door WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY ORATION. 2 3 was wrenched from its hinges. A horrible sight met their gaze. The room was strewn with manuscripts. Great volumes torn in fragments lay upon the floor. The pictures had started from their frames. All was confusion, chaos, and disorder. Ink was spattered on the wall paper and sprinkled over the open magazines on the table. Behind the scene of wreck and ruin stood the author of it, with dishevelled hair, a wild light of triumph in his eyes, his arm outstretched threateningly and murmuring the mysterious words 5' Cuba Libre ll' Cuba Libre V' Many were the questions asked and yet unanswered. After several pulls from Jake Beams' kindly black bottle, the hero Bob-Bob Sterling-told his story. Maybe you fellows think I'm as modest as Shorty Bowne, but Pm not. just read that telegram and then deny it doesn't pay to be a great debaterfl Jake took it -Jake has a habit of 'taking everything he sees, anyhow-and read: tt The Philadelphia Press would like your sentiments on the Cuban Questionfl The mystery was solved. But as he laid it down he saw a mistake had been made 5 it was addressed to Prof. Woodrow Wilson and not to Bob Sterling. Pointing to the address they departed. As the door closed, a dull, sickening thud was heard, and all was still. If Morley Hitzrot will wipe that everlasting smile from his face, and joe Ryle remove those towels from his pocket, I'll read one of David Garrick Cooley's Comedies. SCENE.

The water was only eighteeninches deep, and the oozy mud was just laying for such marks, and received him with open arms.

Thatls fine sentiment, Chappie, but it smells of beer. Now, Father Spencer lacks both a Chappie Reynolds philosophic brain and a Sherlock Holmes mind, for in Freshmen year he did not even know a beer saloon when he saw it,-and he from St. Louis, too. Father cautiously entered Bob Andersonls saloon one night and inquired if they sold beer. The barkeeper thought he was being jollied at first, but when Father asked how much it was, what kind he had, which was the cheapest, and whether he could buy a few bottles, the barkeeper saw he was young and tender. He sold him a few bottles of pop, telling him it was Tannhauser. After imbibing a little, Father made a welsh rarebit for a few of his friends. fl should say, were his friendsj Father also has the habit of getting despondent, and in examinations in Sophomore year was heard to mutter 1 'K I'm a blockhead.

The mere mention of clothes brings before my niind that little Dutchman called Gregory, who dared a New York policeman to arrest him, for he claimed-C' he was dot job I-Iedgels Uncle, while Babe Hill sat on the curbstone crying: 4' Please Mr. Officer let rne gog I'm a Kentucky gentleman. ' ' Dutch was not discouraged and did 'not have to take Hood's Sarsaparilla for his nerves that night, and his per- sistence got them both off, only to result in Babe Hill riding up and down the Murray Hill elevator, singing '4 Nobody Knows I-Iow Bad I Am. I started to tell about Dutch Gregoryls new suit of clothes that he purchased in Trenton. Bullw Graham, 'C Irish Kent and Dutch went to Trenton to attend a skating party. About the time the show began, Dutch struck a thin piece of ice and had to be taken to the Trenton House to dry. Dutch insisted on having a full suite of rooms, and ordered one containing a study, bath, sitting room and bed chamber. Irish and Bull tucked him in bed, and fastening the bell-button down with a match, left Dutch to the kind mercies of the landlord. A few seconds later a bell-boy rushed breathlessly in and inquired what the gentleman would have. Dutch did not remember having wanted anything, but not wishing to let a good opportunity pass by unheeded, he gave the boy a small order. That bell got some deadly exedution in on Dutch and the bell-boys before the cause was discovered, for when Dutch took account of stock he found he did not have the necessary with which to pay the buffet bill. He hooked Runt I-Iausslingls watch, which he had borrowed, but that did not bring enough to pay the bill and get his clothes pressed. It was out of the question to go home in wet togs, and it was a little too chilly to walk WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY ORATION. 27 home in a barrel, so Dutch struck some of I.

On his arrival in Princeton, Dutch sneaked quietly in the house, hoping to get to his room unseen, but the land- lord mistook him for a bum and fired him from the house. After several unsuccessful attempts, Dutch grew discour- aged and spent the remainder of the night sleeping peace- fully by the cannon. Did I hear some one say Wite Wooster?

But thatls more than Gilmore drank the time he got full in New York. He attended a dinner and when the finger-bowls were passed, mistook them for loving cups and quaffed deeply of the scented liquor. The story never would have gotten out if you had not told Poller Abbot how queer it made you feel, and said it tasted just like roses. Abbot was a bad man to tell, for he knows good liquor, even if he does swear off every two weeks, and naturally saw the joke. I'll bet Gilmore challenges me to iight a duel before sundown. That's a bad habit he has, for he nearly killed Bob Sterling in Freshman year, just because Bob called him a greasy poller. It would never do to let this day pass by without men- tioning our society man. Now, I donlt mean Brue Dickin- son, that parasite of the Dickinsonian family tree, even if he does run the society of Trenton, nor do I have reference to Runt I-laussling, De Coursey or Dog Yeatts, who make occasional visits to Princeton during the course of the college year, and I do not mean Percy Williams either Qwho doffed his hat so gallantly in Newark that he could not find it, and rode to Princeton bare-headed g he is a trifie too good and polite for this age of the worldj, for each confines his attention to a single girly but as there was 'Only One Gill the night of class electionj so there is only one Masson in the society swirl. Lugs spends his spare moments in New York, and while on these trips has been known to visit everything from a laundress to a free-lunch counter. One night Lugs called oii a young lady who he thought was all his own, but strange to say, found a rival there. His Mobile blood grew hot, and with firm resolve Qso well displayed in managing the hockey teamj, he sat down to out-stay the other fellow.

This illustrates how people that live in ice houses should not throw cold hands, for on the morrow Lugs discovered that the other fellow was stopping at the house. Strange to say, E. C. Thompson once had the idea of entering society, but now his fondest hopes are shattered. Thompson was just dying to meet a certain town girl, and almost went' wild with joy when Roy Cox told him that he would meet him in McClure's room, at 8. 30, and they would make the call. Cox is a sly wretch and told a few fellows to be on hand in McClure's room to see the fun. Earl Cox, Jack Frame, jack Williams, Hector Cowan, and Lieut. Townley were all safely stored under the bed' when Thompson made his entry. He was dressed to a finish QTownley says he wore lavender trousers and a lemon colored tie, and looked for all the world like a Puck picturej. He was greeted kindly by the host, McClure, who asked him why he was in such fine togs. Thompson fought shy of the question, but on being pressed said, Oh, I'm tired of wearing a sweater, and thought I would look decent awhile. Thompson stood the fire of questions until nine o'clock when he began to grow nervous, and inquired if Roy Cox had put in his appearance that evening. He said he did not want to see him about anything in particular, but just wanted to know where he was. He swore that he never thought of calling on a girl, and numerous other lies until the Bradley Martin muminers rushed wildly out from behind the curtain, bed and door, and gave a triple cheer for Thomp- son, his suit and the girl. Henry Russell! Henry Russell! Why don't you speak when you're spoken to? Guess you never joined the Mercer Blues.

I wish we had room enough to show how fast he can walk. In Freshman year Henry had an encounter with an idea Cthecontents of which was good sound sensej. After a desperate struggle the idea succeeded in escaping, and now Henry is always in a hurry trying to catch that elusive idea. But alas, it is only another illustration of the old story about the horse trying to catch the wisp of hay which always recedes as he advances. But since it is impossible to show how fast'Henry walks, I'll mention that Roy Cox called on two Harrisburg girls and was too bash- ful to mention when he wished to go home. Poor Coxey stayed until after both girls had excused themselves, and only saw the point when the father invited him to stay all night. Is john Van Nest present this morning? Well, Scobe, lim not going to mention how you tried for the gun club, and mistook a stray dog for a clay pigeon, and paid 327.50 for your mistake. If dogs had wings, Scobe, you would be a winner. But it's a little mistake that thick bald head of yours made. Scobe has the fashion of seeing through everything from a brick wall to the bottom of a beer glass, and imagines that all the girls are stuck on his round shape. There was a leap-year party to be given in a city not many miles away, and just before Christmas john received a note as follows : Your presence is requested at the leap-year dance to be given on the evening of December 2d.

Watson, a Princeton student, was-locked up- by Officer Van Horn, for trying to steal a sign at the Clinton Street Station. Watson objected to being placed in a cell, and demanded that the captain either get him a mattress or let him go to a hotel under guard. But he had to take his medicine like a man, and occupy a hard board until the morrow. Justice Coulter released him from his misery this afternoon, after collecting five dollars for the benefit of the city. - Jayne tried to conceals,-his identity by calling himself Geo. Watson, but only got himself in trouble, for at the hearing Jayne forgot his newly acquired name, and the Justice had to help him out. They did not keep Jayne in long enough, for on his 32 THE NAssAU HERALD. return to Princeton he kept up his reputation. A Semi- nole was making a collection of cast-of clothing to aid the sufferers in the slums district in New York City, and left the clothes in the middle entry of Witherspoon Hall. He did not think anyone would steal them, but he was mistaken. Jayne discovered the collection, and quietlyextracting a shirt, pair of trousers, and two pairs of over-shoes, brought them in the room. The Seminole started on a still hunt for his lost treasures and soon found them. Jayne explained that he thought they would make good scrappin' clothes, but we knew better than that, and poor Jayne had to ante up Sr to keep the story quiet. Jayne says he ainlt morally tough like Bill Church, but just physically tough. Come, Jayne, show us how you shoot the chutes at Atlanta. Time will not permit me to tell how Al Rosengarten hocked everything but his clothes and a picture of himself, and then stole Cass Burt's washstand in which he might pack his clothes, or to ask Jerry Bradley who his friends are who .cheered him on so lustily at the Harvard game last spring.

But, in the midst of our jest and laughter, let us remember that the parting day draws nigh, and soon these college days will be but memories. May there be no after-sting to these remarks, but let us accept them in that spirit which permits us to speak so lightly of the name of him Whom We love to call the Father of Our Country. 34 THE NAssAU HERALD. SALUTATO RY. V JEROME BRADLEY. We ADIES AND GENTLEMEN.:-The class of Ninety- ass' - Seven extends to you a most cordial welcome. Within two days we will have reached that goal towards which we have been striving for four long, yet seem- ingly short, years. We now must enter upon the greater field of life which lies stretched out before us, we must cast away our college privileges and pleasures, only to hold them with the firm grasp of our memories, and assume those graver burdens which beset us as we leave the thresh- old of college so dear to us. Our equipment is good, our armor strong, so let us meet our worldly battles face to face, remembering th at a nation looks to her colleges for her men of brains. Both nature and destiny are honest. To the victor they grant the spoils. On Wednesday we leave Princeton as undergraduates, to return in future years as alumni, in an attempt to review in only a few short days those never-to-be-forgotten lessons acquired beneath these lofty elms, on the athletic held and i11 the classroom. The time is now at hand when it is necessary for us, as a class, to part, but we can defy those circumstances to arise which can weaken those ties of friendship so dearly formed by us during our college course. In future years, in both prosperity and disaster, they can be but a source of the greatest pleasure and comfort to us. Let confidence and truth abide with us for evermore. We go forth as members of a large family, to meet again when occasions offer, always ready to help one another, and never forgetting to honor our Alma Mater. 97 CLASS OFFICERS SALUTATORY. 3 5 Let to-day be the brightest and happiest of our college course, and although Ninety-Seven has but one more day to live, We will be of good cheer and enjoy these last few hours While We still have them with us. ' During the exercises of to-day, I bid you listen to our chosen representatives as they project before us the various pictures of our college life, as they prophesy into the far- distant future, as they pay tribute to those dear classmates who have passed from our midst to the world beyond. We must not and cannot forget them to-day. And this afternoon as We gather around our historic canon, to be entertained with joke and satire, to cliide one another, you must remember that good friendship and kind- ly feelings are the motives. We'll sacriiice our own mis- takes and follies to enjoy those of others. To such scenes the class of Ninety-Seven bids its friends Welcome. 36 ' THE NAssAU HERALD. CLASS ORATION. WILFRED M. Posr, Syria. ET is not my purpose in these few words this morning to A ask your attention for any new or unusual thoughts. Such a task would far exceed my power, and then our minds turn naturally to-day to those old familiar things which seem dearer to us because we consider them together for the last time. I do not deny the truth of the old saying : Familiarity breeds contempt. The Athenian passion for some new thing has had much to do with history. Those who call progress the striving for the comprehension of the infinite, and other gilded titles, may be loth to realize that history is, after all, a long record of dissatisfaction. Men have seen through a glass,'darkly, and the more they have seen the more have they desired. Familiarity breeds contempt, it is true 5 but, in the best sense, only for the superficial things. I believe that the best things are always with us, unseen, but eternal. Concealed they may be, but never absent. Viewed in this light, achievement becomes nobler because it takes the best for granted. That was a beautiful concep- tion of the Greek sculptor, for whom the iinished statue already lived in the inert block. His task was but to cut away that which concealed its glory. Simplicity thus begets humility. We need ,more respect for the past-not the willful ignorance often misnained conservatism, but the appreciation of present truths rather thanthe seeking after new wisdom, a willingness to apply rather than to create. We hear much of new perspectives and catholic ideals, yet are they not somewhat like.that Q CLASS ORArroN. 37 strange and heavy armor which the young shepherd of Bethlehem cast aside because he had not proven it, and ratherilifted his eyes unto the hills from whence came his strength ? , Simplicity also begets reverence. I would we might have less of tlie sophistication so prevalent to-day. I would we might have the simple yet mystic reverence which in- spired those architects of old, whose minds soared heaven- ward in the vast, mysterious cathedrals of H the age of faith. 'l I would we might yet feel some of the wonder which thrills the child as he watches the red cloud of the morning rise and bleach in the sunlight of noon, then sink and glow in the evening till it grows dim and disappears. Simplicity also begets self-denial. Life to-day is made so easy that we are in danger of forgetting the sternness that made Rome great before her virtue was lost in the complex indulgence of later years. But the true stoic is no ascetic. He does not fling away the roses that are given him, nor does he crown his own head with thorns. He lives for each day as it is, accepting, but not seeking, the reward which life and nature are ever ready to give for service. ' The man of simple life is no cynic, sneering at intangi- ble things, but is, in the best sense, an idealist. Take a case. He who climbs the western slope of Lebanon on a summer's day may well forget fatigue in the richness of the scene before him. He delights in the butteriiies circling close above the happy fields, the olive tints of the more distant groves, fading into silver with each seaward breeze, the faint cries of peasants calling from village to village, the sunny sea wooing the mountains in ever gentler tones. And slowly the afternoon unfolds, and one by one the clouds creep up the valley, till glory flashes to glory across a heaving upper sea of glass and fire. The traveller has reached the summit. The clouds follow him, he puts 38 THE N AssAU HERALD. forth his hand to touch them. Suddenly he starts, hot Winds surge about him. They are the breath of the wide plains toward the East. He is amazed, scorched, suffocated. And the clouds, those spirits of the sunset-vyhere are they ? One by one they climb the summit, but even as they rest they are gone, and the hot air still quivers about him as the sun sinks behind the now darkening sea. Dismal picture of youth! And have We climbed thus far only to see our bright dreams burned by the first breath of the plains beyond? I hardly think We dread the World so much as this. We are enthusiastic and believe our ideals are more than clouds and butterflies. And yet, Within a year We may smile at such Words and scorn the simplicity that rejoiced in the beauty of the Western scene. There are far too many sophists and agnostics to-day, who rever- ence nothing save vvhat they see. Their eyes are ever toward the ground. They would gladly lock themselves each in his own carriage and hurry through life, oblivious of all things, if only they travel in comfort. But this is merely the selfish complacency of a cynic. Complacency is ignorance g it is the satisfaction carved on the lips of the Egyptian Sphinx, which smiles the same, strange, dead smile that it Wore four thousand years ago. The truest philosophy of life is also the simplest. Its ruling principle is the most magnificent thing in the World -duty. The performance of duty may be calm, enthusi- astic, or even fanatical, but it is the explanation and the fulnlment of the Golden Rule. If there is a sum-total of labor to be done, then the Willingness to make up the de- nciency is surely the simplest and the noblest ideal. Add to this a measure of true conservatism, which- is neither ignorance nor pride 3 a humility that relverences the past 3 a little of that old classic repose to calm us i11 the scientific puzzle that is fast becoming our life, a mind glad to medi- tate, if not to dream, in the leisure hours of a summerls day CLASS ORATION. 319 -am I right in calling this the real philosophy of life? We speak with pride of the U Princeton Spirit 5 may we not conform it to such a conception? Surely it is this spirit, the true Princeton spirit-conservative, stoical, self-sacri- icing-above all, simple-which we reverence in the noble teachers, past and present, whose minds are never greater than their hearts. Surely this spirit has guided our foster mother through one hundred and fifty years, and how gladly last fall we sang all hail as she sprang forth, Minerva-like, armed in new panoply, more beautiful in strength for deeds to come. You think me visionary, perhaps, because I have spoken in no very practical words of what may seem a mere drearner's Utopia. And yet I have striven only to reiterate the thoughts which are ever deepest, because they are the simplest, and so I would recall to your memory the words of that king of olden times, whose understanding flowed like a continual river-whose palace of cedar was overlaid with gold, and filled with the peculiar treasure of the provinces-whose gardens were full of the laughter of fountains, the singing of crimson birds, and the perhime of the rose and the lily and the flower from the pleasant land. ,He it was who filled the golden bowl of Earth's happiness, but tasting of it, found it very bitter, yet in death there came the prophetic wisdom, before which the empty mists of gold and purple and the sad rich dreams of life faded forever away. And then, looking forth into the infinite, he beheld the greatness of the simplicity whereof he had known so little, and wondered, perhaps, when he saw that the conclusion of all knowledge was only this : Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 40 THE NAssAU HERALD. IVY ORATION. SEWARD ERDMAN. HE mere formal observance of an ancient rite, of a ' traditional custom, when the ceremony alone remains, when the -essential spirit of the occasion has been lost, and a present and living interest fails to be awakened, is a practice which has out-lived its usefulness, a formality to be abolished. The real value of the tradition is determined by the meaning it expresses for the participants and the present sentiment it embodies. And it is viewed in this light that the time-honored college ceremony, we are now assembled to perform, gathers its import. The planting of the ivy, in all its simplicity, yet partalces of a deep significance to each class in turn, a significance which we who are now about to leave our college life feel as perhaps no others can. But even to the outsider this custom never fails in attractiveness, as we gather, about these historic steps under the open sky of heaven, nature herself taking part with us. Here we come to yield a small tribute, aifrail memorial to the joyful days of these four short years into which have been crowded, perhaps, the happiest experiences of our lives. As a class, a full sense of fellowship, of unity, has ever bound' us together, a sympathy born of happy acquaint- ances and friendships grown closer each day of our union, and never have these influences seemed so strong as to-day, when we stand near the parting of our ways, when we can count the few remaining hours of college life, and gather for almost the last time in this beloved spot. IVY GRATION. 41 For three years we have beheld other classes go out, have witnessed their emotions, now for ourselves we experience the pangs of coming separation, and realize for the first time how strong the cords have grown, which bind us to our college and to each other. But let us'glance forward. The parting is at hand, but the history of our class continues, tho' it's members may be scattered. We stand but at the threshold of life, with the world open before us, and each one must go out to an independent struggle, each must find his own sphere of activity. These years of college life, if they have done aught for us, should, above all, have given us a training and furnished an invaluable equipment for our life in the world. We leave Princeton, this campus, and surroundings, but we take with us the spirit of the institution. We leave our companions and friends, but we carry with us enduring friendships and affections, whose very sincerity and genuine- ness insure their life-long continuance. A college career has an untold inliuence on every 1nan's character. With. open frankness it stamps the worth of each, it smoothes the rough edges and develops the weak points. Many of us came here with our little idio- syncrasies and provincialisms, only to lose them under the good-natured banter of our fellows. And like to the chrysalis stage in nature's development, while we have been enveloped in the atmosphere of our college life, our associations and friendships, step by step, perhaps all unknown to ourselves, we have undergone a change, have acquired a broadening of thought, a rounding out of character, which have enlarged our horizon and increased our possibilities for future influence and usefulness. Who can have dwelt amidst these surroundings without absorbing some of the spirit, some of the principles for which Princeton has ever stood! Q 42 THE NAssAU HERALD. The stately dignity of this Hall which cradled our infant nation-the thrilling memories of Princeton's part in the battle for freedom, of Princeton men, the fathers of the State, of Burr, Witherspoon, Adams-all these stand for great principles, noble aspirations, for loyalty and devotion to countiy and the right. All remind us of the debt We owe our land. The place for the college men in these times is one of activity and interest in the Welfare of the nation. This day of political corruption and class diierences demands educated citizens, men of upright lives and right convictions, men of Wise and firm judgment, of liberal mind and patriotic hearts. If our college life has fitted us for such a sphere of usefulnesss, then indeed it has accom- plished its purpose. Our campus life has been a careless one, free from responsibility and Worry. In the first three years, per- haps, there was a tendency to let ourselves drift along with the least possible exertion or resistance. i But with the many responsibilities of Senior year, and with the end of our college course so fast approaching, there has come a change in the way of viewing things, and many moments of serious deliberation as to what shall be our ambition in life, and Where our sphere of activity. And as We go forth let us remember that, The rnan who seeks one thing in life, and but one, May hope to achieve it before life be done g But he who seeks all things wherever he goes, Only reaps from the hopes which around him he sows- A harvest of barren regrets. Wherever we go, let this be our one purpose: To live upright, honest lives, faithfully fulfilling' our duty to our country and our fellows, ever aiming at the highest ideal. But We leave this strain of moralizing, for simplicity Were more befitting this occasion. IVY ORATION. ' 43 Classmates, these dear Walls shall re-echo with our voices but a short while more, the sound of our footsteps, our songs, and names, already begin to grow fainter. But in our hearts, the memory of these beloved scenes, of happy song and joyous faces indelibly impressed, shall linger with Us to our graves, and shall cheer many an hour, brighten many a task, long years after We have gone out from here. With the dainty sprigs of green We plant our affections close to the Walls of Old Nassau, and as the ivy, year by year, spreads out its branches and clings closer to these stones, so may our hearts, our lives, our loyalty, ever green, ever stronger, entvvine about our Alma Mater, an adornment and a glory to old Princeton. 44 THE NAssAU HERALD.

You see, Ladies and Gentlemen, this foolish looking fellow has really quite a number of pleasing stunts in his repertoire, only one of which, however, he may with propriety perform here, I refer-but of course you have already guessed what it is, because he is doing it now-I refer to his accomplish- ment of blushing. Thatls right, Sam, be obligingg blush for the ladies, a little deeper red around that kissable mouth, please hold your head up, ah! that's it. Isn't that the most perfect performance you have ever seen? I defy any human being present to tell Whether his face is trying to match his hair, or his hair his face. Such a willingness, too, a desire to give the greatest pleasure to the greatest number. But this is not the only time he has blushed. Oh, no ! He blushed when a certain young lady asked him Whether he was related to Hoot mon McSlushey,'l because he Wore such brilliant plaid hose. Have you kept those hose, Sam? Then he blushed as he stealthily, and in a most cowardly manner, dropped out of his bed-room Window on the ground floor of Middle Dod, While a few courageous and faithful friends stood at the door and entertained Jack Topley with stories about Mr. Palmer's being in Philadel- phia over Sunday. I But Where he blushed the most was in Europe. Sam was traveling with a party which included a number of ministers. They arrived at Paris, and after dinner Sam started out alone, telling his friends that he was going to call on a Princeton man at one of the. hotels. But the sly old reprobate knew Where he was bound, and you may imagine his consternation and surprise, When, after sneak- ing, around through a number of back streets, he boldly marched into the Moulin Rouge, and ran face to face into those self-same ministers. Sufficient unto that evening was the encounter thereof. CENsoR's SPEECH. 49 There, now, I had almost forgotten to mention Samts track team aspirations. 'He tried for three years and never won a place. But he learned one accomplishment, he can stand on one leg. However, he has peculiar ideas regarding the symmetrical development of the body, and with no desire of bootlicking one foot, but entirely in a frank spirit of fair-play, he sometimes stands on the other leg. He's doing it now, standing on the other leg. There was one time when Sam did not blush. It was at Wiesbaden. It was also at about 11:30 P. M. This tender youth had been out all the evening and was wearily climb- ing the stairs, thinking confusedlyof how nice it would be if he were in bed. But even that tired feeling did not cause him to lose his memory. He recollected that his room was on one of the upper stories in the wing of the hotel, and that he must walk down a long corridor, turn to his right down a short one, and there was his door. This he did, and, as he entered, saw Arthur Kennedy, his room--mate, sitting up in bed reading by the light of a couple of candles. Sampwas just drawling out in his characteristic way, 'L Say, Art., you blamed chump, would you mind getting up and shutting the door ? when Art. looked up, and-well, it wasn't Art., but a real, live woman, with a voice like the highest stops in the chapel organ on the days that it is suffering from the D.T., and working at full pressure. Sam stood still on both feet, petrified with fear. What to do? He is lamentably ignorant-of the German language-and was just falling back on his final resort, blushing, when some unseen, ill- fated hand pulled out the lower stops, and with one mad roar of the trumpet and open diapason a magnificent speci- men of the infuriated genus homo, masculine gender, rushed forward with inarticulate Deutsch polysyllables pouring from his mouth, far different from the faithless seniors sneaking' out of the Dean's English, and Sam- 50 THE NAssAU HERALD. Sam was pale-and he was also dead broke for three weeks, while a gentleman and his wife whom Sam said he had met by accident, blew themselves off to a dinner at the Inn, and subscribed 325.00 to the new gymnasium. This is a true story, for Sam told it on himself. . Will the champion official batter to the out-field H kindly remove his moustache and slouch up here, and please don't bring that billiard cue along with you this time. Look at him. I can't tell any drunk stories on him, and I can't tell any stories about swiping signs in Trenton, and I would fall back on Glee Club tales if Lady U had not come through the train at Louisville and proclaimed, in those heart-breaking tones of his, C'Gentlemen, I consider that my conduct on this trip has been highly damnable-no, no! I dontt mean damnable-I mean commendable, highly commendable. ' O, Lady! that trip was the supreme triumphal journey of your life. From the day in Washington when you, proud of your distantly perspective relation to the Presi- dent, were so embarrassed that when Mrs. Cleveland asked after your motherls health, you incoherently replied, 'K Oh-er, thank you very much, I should be very pleased to stay to dinner, to the night at the smoker, in St. Louis, when you almost smoked yourself to death, it was one round of mad gaiety and dissipation, to the ravishing accompaniment of the continual frantic and tumultuous applause of the worshipping fair sex, even including that girl at Davenport, who wanted to know H why Mr. Jayne wore a hair-cloth shirt when he sang his solos. But I knowhow you built up your unparalleled success, and I am going to give it away, because it's true. All through the fall Lady would leave the club almost immediately after lunch, going to his room, where he would remain behind locked doors nearly an hour. Very - CENsoR's SPEECH. 5 r soon the fellows began to wonder what he did during these periodsof retirement, till finally Bill Reynolds volunteered to find out, and entering quietly one afternoon by his bed-room window, went into Lady's room and saw that man standing before the mirror, rehearsing every note, word, gestureand imbecile grin of his Glee Club songs. Oh, I can hear him now, When I was but a little lad, For looks I was a prize g I had long curls and rosy cheeks, And the bluest kind of eyes 3 But since then my anatomy Has changed to what it is, Instead of pretty features I have to wear this ' phiz.'

Let the man who has such a vivid and abnormal imagination that he invents stories on himself and tells them to his lady friends, the man who, by his own proud boast is Champion Pie-eater of Pennsylvania, having lost but one match, that being the contest in which he ate prune pie, and lost time spitting out the seeds, in the fear of getting appendicitis 3 let this monster of falsehood approach. There he is. ,His head is all right, and his feet are all right now-but, O, Eddie, Eddie! How different it was on that fateful night in Sophomore year.

Let this be a lesson to you, Ed., that everything you draw should have its proper back- ground. But just let me read you some printed slips and a letter that his room-mate fished out of the waste basket: The Editor of LW regrets that he cannot use the enclosed. The Editor of Puck regrets that he cannot make use of this contri- bution, which is returned with thanks. The Art Manager of Trmffz regrets that he is unable to use the accompanying sketch.

The 'idea embodied in your sketch is far too sensational, and the work itself much too inferior even for us to publish it. Fraternally yours, W. R. HEARST, JV. Y.f0u7'1zrzl. This was too much. Ed. immediately repaired to the Inn, and it was at 11:55 P. M. on the same evening that he pronounced the one supreme witticism of his life : Fellowsh, m' head'sh alright, b-but m' feet is twisted. However, the best story on Ed. happened in Sophomore year, when he roomed on Nassau Street .with a Freshman. This Freshman at once perceived how easy Ed. was. There was a girl up in Wilkesbarre who found that out last Christmas vacation 5 but I promised not to tell that, didn't I, Ed? Well, this room at once became the rendez- vous for all the sporting, degenerating Freshmen in college. I refrain from relating the diabolical torrnents of these malicious youths to which this supposedly bold, bad, gay young Sophomore meekly and uncomplainingly submitted 5 Cansoivs SPEECH. 5 3 he whose mein was the most awe-inspiring, whose threats the most blood-curdling when they were hazing some little inoffensive boy at the club. Finally it came around toward May, and Ed. invited some girls up to a baseball game. He spent half the morning in decorating and embellishing 'the room and repairing the devastations wrought by his unrelenting persecutors, and after spending the remaining time in doing the same offices for his own goodly person, sallied forth to conquest, full of love and charity toward man and woman, his Freshman having pre- sumably departed for New York on the 12.13. At the close of the game, of course they wanted to visit a college room, and Ed., after judiciously strengthening this desire by denying its existence, finally made, a show of yielding and invited them to his own. On the stairs he assiduously chucked the time-worn blulf used by Noah when showing his mother and sisters through his private apartments on the Ark, boldly saying that they mustpar- don the appearance of the room, as a crowd of fellows had been up 'the night before, and he feared his Freshman room-mate had not obeyed orders and fixed it up much. Witli these deceptive platitudes he threw open the door, and as the chaperone and her innocent charges stepped gayly in, Ed. almost croakedfl The room looked as if a crowd of alumni had struck it. On the table were scattered the implements of the L' Great American National Game and, O., periidious Freshman! as if to heap insult upon injury, a colored waiter looked up from the corner where he was packing some empty bottles into a basket, and said, O, is dat yol, Mis' Shortz 5 Mislr Bave sent me up to git dese yere bottuls, an' tol' me to leave dis ,bill wid yo'. Ed., never chuck that bluff again, and always enter the room yourself first. Now if you will untwist your feet you may amble back to your seat. 54 THE NASSAU HERALD.

CLASS PROPHECY. 55 PROPHECY. EDWIN Sr-ionrz, JR. NEVER had any idea of going into the prophecy business before last fall. The fact is, I never even suspected funtil that time that I was especially gifted with thel power of spotting I' the shadows cast by coming events. Subsequent happenings have led me to believe that the hand of fate, in pointing me out, must have made a mistake and taken me for Babe Hill, as I sat in his chapel seat the morning .I was calledg and we are very much alike in figure. Nevertheless, whether there had been a mistake or not, I realized that I must make the best of the matter, and accordingly lost no time in making myself acquainted with the laws which control the move! ments of the astral body. I have not the time here to dis- course upon its theory, but will simply say that a man in his astral ,body is able not only to laugh at space, but may smile in a gentle way at time also. There is nothing easier when you know how, or more delightful, than to throw aside the cares of this world, and jumping into your astral body take a short trip to Bangkok, or spend Sunday in Mars. Why, even Sleepy Graver, if he could only stay awake long enough to acquire the art, would be able to flit himself all over the country with lightning-like rapidity, and would not find it necessary to start up to New York one whole week ahead of time, as he did last winter, so as not to be late at one of the many functions at .which society demanded his presence. After a few weeks of practice I became very proficient in the art, and on the evening of January 20th, 1897, I left Princeton for the 56 THE NAssAU HERALD. realms of departed spirits, reaching my destination that same night, but in the year r997. Upon my arrival, the nrst thing I did was to walk into the office and look about me for the clerkls desk. There were several ghosts loung- ing about the room reading the papers, and I must say that I felt rather bashful at first, never having been in the presence of so many spirits before, choice or otherwise. This strange feeling was increased by their rude conduct, for in walking about they would never turn out of the way for ine, but would walk right through me, leaving behind an unpleasant sensation of chill and dampness. Feeling that I would surely catch cold if I stood still much longer and had many more spirits pass through me, I made the best of my way over to the desk, which I had espied at the other end of the office. But I had scarcely approached within twenty feet of the railing when the clerk, who was an oldish looking spirit with a long white beard, and who wore a robe which bore the trade-mark of Feuring 85 Gibb, rushed through the partition, and swoop- ing down upon me like a cloud of cold steam, grasped me by the hand and told me he was delighted to see me. I assured him that I had not experienced such unlimited pleasure since the last time I had walked up from the junction in a fog, but that I could not for the life of me remember his name, although his air was familiar. At this he seemed rather hurt and made such an awful face that I could not have possibly remained longer in ignorance of his identity. Yes, it was Lady Jayne, but so changed that even that Trenton special policeman would not have known hirn. We had a good long talk and I was soon in possession of the story of his life 5 one long and unbroken tissue of crime. Yes, he acknowledged that the first step had been that little thoughtless act of his when a student, but that after his first incarceration his heart had become hardened, and CLASS PROPHECY. 57 the rest had been 'all too easy. But why dwell longer on this sad picture? Suihce it to say that Lady had gone through all the successive stages of crime, from the purloin- ing of signs to the renting of cannon seats to the gradu- ating classes, and as a reward was now chief clerk in the lower regions. just as he was about to finish his revolt- ing story, I involuntarily interrupted hi1n by being com- pelled to sneeze, and upon looking around found that the cause of it was the arrival of the shade of Willie Church, who, unable to break himself of the old college habits, had stopped in to get Lady on his way to Philadelphian Society meeting. Willie, soon after graduation, had decided to enter the army, and accordingly went over to Morocco to aid that country in its war against the Laplanders. He had been immediately made a general, but his glory was short lived, for he sacrificed his life to the cause of liberty in his very first engagement. ' It happened this way. Willie was seated upon his horse directing the movements of the two armies, when his attention was attracted by a large, round bomb-shell, which was describing a graceful curve in the air, and which, to judge from appearances, was pretty certain to land in his immediate vicinity. His judgment was not far wrong, for the ball, rushing over his head with a hissing sound, ploughed a long furrow in the earth, and lay with smoking fuse scarcely twenty feet from him. True to his old gridiron instincts, Willie threw him- self from his horse, and making a fiying leap through the air that would have brought tears to the eyes of his old friend, Casper Whitney, he fell on the ball. A beautiful shaft of snowy-white marble was erected to his memory in Morocco, and his birthday is annually celebrated as a National holi- day in that country. By this time the shades of quite a number of our great and glorious class had gathered in the oiiice in response to our cries of Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Seven, this way Qwe had to be particular to 58 THE Nassau HERALD. put the Eighteen Hundred in so as not to get mixed with themen from Seventeen Ninety-Sevenj. I also noticed a good many Ninety-Six and Ninety-Eight men in the crowd who were nudging and pugiing -each other, in a rather sickly bluff at starting a rush. However, much to their relief Mr. Topley suddenly appeared on the scene, and restored order by threatening to have the whole push,' up. I afterward learned that he pulled a room in Princeton, and caught some Sophs painting the Lawrenceville water- tower, on that same night. All the. fellows were chatting together and enjoying themselves very much, with the exception of Buck Thompson, who, I noticed, did not mix with the rest. As it was rather strange to see Buck sour-balled,', I went up to Father Spencer Qwho had spent his life writing up Buck's biographyj, and asked him what the matter was. He said that Buck was suffering from the effects of a severe call-down which had been administered to him shortly after his arrival. After gradu- ation,'Buck had started home to Pittsburgh, but had never reached that place. He had stopped off at Johnstown, as was his custom Qfor itts a known fact that he has ,never been able to pass through the placej, and finding the attractions of that town very strong, had never left it during his life. He had grown up a respected and influ- ential citizen, surrounding himself with an adoring family, and had amassed a fortune by running a sweat-board at the annual county fairs, in conjunction with Father, who easily worked the countrymen by means of his eloquent flow of words. On arriving in Pluto's halls, Buck had evinced a decided tendency toward snobbishness, not so much as a result of his having achieved distinction in life, but because of the fact that he immediately got in the swim. in this new sphere, being acquainted with all the people drowned in the Johnstown flood. As a result, he would not associate with the younger shades, but bootlicked some of the big CLASS PROPHECY. SQ men like Moses and Caesar. One day he was explaining what a great place Johnstown was, and all about it's great flood to a dignined old shade who, he had noticed, was a very influential person. The old man patiently heard him through, but -at the end of his recital turned on his heel with a decidedly tired look on his face. Buck, of course, felt hurt, and his face notably lengthened when he learned that the old man was Noah. From scraps of conversation and inquiries I was soon in possession of the leading facts in the lives of most of the class. Lugs Masson, as might easily have been foretold by the promise of his early youth, devoted his brilliant genius to the cause of reformation in society. He won fame and a place among the men of letters of the twentieth century by the production of his exhaustive treatise on the subject entitled, 'K The Renaissance of the Beau Monde, with special reference to Queens Court, which contains among other valuable attributes, a remarkable chapter on ice cutj ting in connection with Hockey. The importance of fancy dress balls as a prime factor in social life is strongly emphasized by the author, and it is a matter worthy of note that Mr. Masson always attended these affairs clisgmlsed as a tennis player. Like Buck Thompson, he too was not Very well liked by some of the older and more prominent spirits, as he had been foolish enough to make fun of . the block of Beau Brumrnel's halo, and had also criticised the cut of his robe, without stopping to think that Mr. Brummel lived in an age very different from his own. Babe Hill, soon after graduation, at the urgent requests of his friends and enemies, went on the stage, and took the part of the moon in the balcony scene of Romeo and Juliet. In fact, his success was so marked that in a very few years he became the sole' proprietor of the Walton C. Hill Gaiety Company, playing under the management of Augustine Minshall Hopper. The ever-thoughtful Babe 6o THE NASSAU HERALD. had immediately, on achieving success, sent for his old companion and renewed that close friendship which had sprung up in the old college days beneath the Princeton elms. Through all the winding and thorny Walks of life, each was an aid and a stay to the other. i Never did the least sign of dispute or contention mar the sweet harmony of their partnership. When Babe felt ill or restless at night, Gussie would carry him up and down his bed-chamber, soothing him and singing him to sleep with one of the old songs that Babe used to sing in the Glee Club. How different is this beautiful picture of sweet christian loveliness when contrasted with that presented by the notorious career of jude Taylor ! As many of the class know, he was engaged before leaving college to Miss Charlotte Irene Tyler. Disappointed in love, 'he followed the advice of the old adage and turned his attention to gambling. He started out on a small scale, with a capital of only i+l7,000,000, but in a few years was the proprietor of one, of the largest gilded halls of sin in Waterbury. He later became a prominent political boss, and being elected to the legislature of his native state, introduced a bill to prohibit the singing of a song called, U My First Cigarf' At the close of his speech on this bill, Mr. Taylor sang a verse of the song in. question, and his bill was passed without further delay. Probably no business firms or corporations of which men in the class were members in life was better known in all quarters of the globe than the immense steel-plate and boiler works of Poe, Barkley and Gill. This corporation, although at first struggling against great difficulties, became by degrees the largest and richest concern of its kind in America. One serious difficulty the owners met with at first was the fact that when they attempted to make an inspection of their own works unaccompanied by CLASS PROPHECY. 61 the superintendent or foreman, they would frequently be mistaken for small boys by the workmen, and kicked off the premises. Then, too, Mr. Poe, the senior member of the firm, had a thoughtless habit of singing when at work in his olfice, and this was the frequent cause of strikes, as the workmen were always unable to tell when the gongs and Whistles gave the signal to stop work. Henry Russell had accepted the chair of mathematics- in Bryn Mawr College, and as a natural result Qalthough much against Henryls willj had succumbed in a few weeks to the wiles of one of the many sirens who had beset him' on all sides immediately upon his arrival. F or a few short months his life, was a happy one. He had already dis- covered the fourth, fifth and sixth dimensions of matter, and his career gave marked promise of being one con- tinuous chain of glory, the successive links of which would be brilliant and unparalleled discoveries in every branch of science. But, alas, as in the case of the elder Mr. Weller, the connubial state was too much for Henry, and he quickly sank into a decline of mad debauchery, which was made only too easy as a result of his riotous and vicious life at college. Nevertheless, even in this dark period of his existence, Henry's inborn instinct for research and dis- covery did not desert him, and as a result of his enormous consumption of spirits he made some exceedingly startling discoveries in the realm of zoology, which were received by the scientific world with paroxysms of delight. I had been so completely engrossed with pleasant surroundings, and so entertained by the various reminiscences of the different spirits, that I had taken no notice of the flight of time, and was consequently very much worried at hearing someone say it was four o'clock in the morning. I felt that I must hurry back to the earth, for if I stayed away too long I would be liable to ind my corporeal body buried on my return. However, I was sorely tempted to run the 62 THE NAssAU HEi2ALD. risk when I heard that there was to be a grand demonstra- tion on the following day to celebrate the arrival of Paul Hurst, who had taken all these years to make up his mind that he was dead, and whose advent would complete the roll of the class. The celebration was to be of a grand and varied character, and would include athletic, musical and literary events. The chief athletic exhibition was to be a baseball game between Manager Mattison's star aggrega- tion of Bladders, and a picked nine, composed of Mylord Sankey. Then Shy Thompson was to follow with a representation of his famous fifteen-yard run on the grid- iron, entitled, A Dash for Fame, or How I almost scored against the 'Varsity in my Freshman Year. The musical part of the program promised to be especially rich, and in- cluded several minstrel songs by Isaacs Reeves and Student Wood, with guitar accompaniment by the latter. Burt Miller had also been engaged at tremendous expense to emit his famous roar. The crowning event of the day, how- ever, was to be the literary contest, which would take place in the evening, the chief feature of which would be an at- tempt on the part of the Princetonian editors to argue certain members of the class into paying their subscriptions. All this sounded very alluring, and the contests promised to be very spiwiteci indeed, although some ofthe events did sound a trifle shady. However, the risk of going back to the earth and Ending no body for me to get into was too great to run, and I decided to leave immediately, for the meeting had already begun to break up, and many of the shades were preparing to return to their respective haunts. S0 we all stood up and then, surrounded by the weird, flickering shadows, with our voices echoing through the cavernous halls, we sang Old Nassau, then gave three rousing cheers for N inety-Seven and an Alumni for Princeton, and dispersed.

But even while these aimless musings throng And 511 his idle brain, he hears the note Of some far bugle Hoat Full sweet upon the wind, And eager bay of hounds g anon a hind, Speeds fearsome through the crackling brake And stands, with knees that quake And dilate nostrils, in the open place. For there be those in Arden whom the chase Delights: theirjoy to grip the bow And send the whizzing arrow swift and low, Even as in the chase the hound Runs swift and near the ground. g Ah, not for dreams do these strong hunters care No thoughts impair The sturdy freedom and the eager glow i Of their glad, lusty lives, but to and fro They range, all day the leaves are stirred By their swift passing arrows. Once the herd Are found and from the covert start, Unerring to the heart Y I Of doe and and buck the whirring arrow speeds. Oh, 1'ine and free the life the hunter leads ! ' And fine and free the life of all who dwell Beneath the greenw0od's spell- Hunter and dreamer and lovelorn swain, Who seeks to melt his mistress's disdain With sighing verses nailed against some tree, CLASS POEM. Vtfhere she must pass and see g The fool in motley, wisdom in hisjest 5 The shepherd whosesole task is rest And idle watching by the sheep, That in the open places graze and sleep. Ah, many are the lives they lead, All magic lives from every sorrow freed. Hunter and dreamer, shepherd and swain are they, But at the close of day They gather round the great oak in the glen, All blithe, glad-hearted men W'ho hold this hour of all the hours the best, When now the merry song and tale andjest Follow, in ceaseless round, The old song ever found To be the newest g from the forest store They draw the tight cash and freely now they pour The foaming tankards of brown woodland ale 3 And merrier grows the tale And jest, and louder the chorus rings Until the night its dreamless slumber brings. Oh, the merrirnent and magic their days ! But not forever the glad season staysg For now hath come the call That saddens all. Each stands dismayed, Yet must the summons be obeyed That bids each one depart Forever from the fair home of his heart. But yet with courage, though with sorrow bent, Turn from the happy years which thou hast spent Within the greenwood. 'Wider than our home Is yonder world, and widely shall we roam, Yet not so wide but thou wilt meet again Some well beloved brother among men. And thou wilt know him g can he ever change, However widely through the world he range ? Nay, greenwood men are greenwood men for aye, '1tHE Nassau HERALD. However far they stray. High-hearted thou wilt find him, true and free, Where'er he be 5 - The mark his woodland life hath set Upon his spirit he can ne'er forget. And though thou mayest ue'er again return To stray along the paths of flower and fern, And never hear the sweet horn on the wind, And in the world Without mayest never find The charm and beauty of these happy years, Yet stay thy fears, For these bright days are not forever pastl Oft when the sun has set its glories last Until the day hath wholly died to night. Not wholly from thy sight Shall visions of the wondrous woodland fade, But when thou journeyest with heart dismayed By some sore burden, when thy spirit grieves, Then thou wilt hear again the whispering leaves And see the Hitting shadows on the grass, And through thy heart will pass, When thou art wandering in fear and doubt, Like some sweet echo's echo, the old glad shout. So once more gather round the greenwood tree, Bid every sorrow flee, Once more the round of story, jest and song 5 Pass the good ale along, Pledge each dear comrade in the deepest draught E'er yet in greenwood quaffed. Too soon the night is gone, Too soon will come the morrowls chilly dawn Q And then upon the woodland's edge we'll stand And clasp each con1rade's hand- Ah, who shall then restrain The tears that burst from out the heart's deep pain ? Stand on the greenwood's border, turn thy face But for a brief, sad space, And let thine eyes seek out each glade and dell, Then seek thy comrade's eyes and say-FAREWELL. PRESENTATION ORATION. 67. PRESENTATION ORATION. V , EKADIES AND GENTLEMEN-MC111b6fS of the Faculty- Classmates-Any Pas and Mas here present, and Fellow Sisters: GREETING :- Well it's certainly laughable to stand here and look yon organization straight in tl1e eye. I never saw such a mess. Everyone looks scared. You might think jake Altman was at a funeral. Cheer up Rosie ! Don't look so down- hearted, I'll go easy with your checkered career. Well, I do see one proud-looking individual. Baldy you look as if I knew nothing about you. Bye the way, how about your friends McGonnegal and McCracken? Now, fellows, I have a real jolly Christmas-tree back here and no proctors to interfere, and there will be pop-corn and candy, and cheese and pretzels, and lots and lots of nice things for the dear little boys who have been good all these four long years. But remember, I am no Santa Claus. I wouldn't bargain to ill 'K Shi Thompson's stockings for a dollar a day, working by the week. As Bill Reynolds told me before Wasl1ington's Birthday, somebody has to catch it 3 well, thatls exactly what Ilm here for. Hicky Smyth once said about his Vassar girl, U I don't want a law suit, but I would like to square myself if I can, and as this is my tix, a word of explanation will not be amiss. I want it to be understood by all that I cannot help being here to-day. I tried once to get away from that crew down there, and it cost me a whole suit of clothes and a pair of suspenders. The Faculty knows that Ninety-Seven is not to be monkeyed with. Even Bob Garrett couldn't take a little striking-bag away from them. I-Ience, not being able 68 THE NASSAU HERALD. to be anywhere else, I am here, and I Want to say just this: Remember, dear parents, any gifts I 1nay bestow upon your sons have nothing to do with their characters or any events that have happened to them. I have merely put certain episodes in a hat, certain gifts, and certain names 3 I have drawn them out one at a time, and made a chow- chovv of the whole business 5 so donlt believe all you hear for most of this speech is copied from old NASSAU HERALDS. Now, fellows-that We may be understood. I don't Want any man to think I have been severe with his frailities or made stuff up about him for personal reasons. It is simply this: I have a duty to perform, and I am going through with it, even if Bill Church does look like a six-shooter, and there are tears in the eyes of Pip Wlieeler. Somebody has to be roasted, and somebody has to do it, and I am now at the bat. I disavow any personal malice, any per- sonal feeling, or any personal element Whatever, and can but hope that all Will be taken as it is meant-in simple jest and no earnest. May the -spirit of fun, pure unadulter- ated fun, rule all this afternoon, and may the good old class- love bind us together in one irresolvable unit that cannot be shaken by any passing Word. First, last, and all the time, I would say to all: Donlt believe it. It isnlt so. If you Want truth don't listen to me. Remember that I have roomed with Bill Reynolds for seven years, and make allowances. Ladies and Gintlemin, the iirsht chromio I will prisint to your notice fno, jerry, keep your seat 5 I don't mean you because I talk Irishj, the first geranium to flaunt upon the breeze, the first peach taken from, the basket, is the only one of his kind-Merely james Hitzrot Cplease assume your jaunty gait but don't run, it would be unbecoming to your dignityj. I-Iitz, I Want to call to your mind a certain law of physics which you learned before you decided to become a veterinary surgeon : 'K The volume of gas varies PRESENTATION QRATION. 69 inversely as the pressure upon itf' Remember to talk less the more you are pressed. Never forget the remark of the Indian you met on the Geological Expedition: Ugh, white man talk much, smile much, and say little. Now, let us have three short smiles. Are you ready? Hip! Hip! There you go again. For goodness sake stop that! You smile when you workg you smile when you play. lt seems to make no difference. On every occasion nothing butithat broad, expansive smile which greets man and beast! Now I have a remedy for you. Always carry it and remember your benefactor. QP0o'ous plcnstevzj There are in our class but two great divisions. The Pollers are lead by Nichols 5 and now I wish to show you the natural born leader of the opposition. He is not so tall that when he falls he breaks a leg, as Long Jessup always does, nor is he so short that, like Bunny Hutchin- son, he bumps every step going down stairs. You can see him as he is, if some one will give Chappie Reynolds a loving kick and start him along. Here is the President of the Right Wing Club. Here is the Captain of our victo- rious class football team--Oh, Hail! Want to fight Chappie? 7' Perhaps you will after the exercises. From your many propensities, I have selected only one about which to advise you. Let me caution you against spend- ing money foolishly. xWhenever you go to Boston or anywhere else, don't let it happen again. You might save your hotel .bills and buy soda-water with the money. Really, it is not necessary to pay for a bed when you are so easily accommodated. Hearing of your preference in this line, accept this with my compliments-only don't put water in it next time.

Will jude Taylor kindly sing 'flt Was My Last Cigarn? 70 THE NAssAU HERALD. I am truly sorry I asked you to come up here, you throw such a tired feeling about you. I believe if I threw salt on you, you would melt away like a snail 5 but come here, nice Pink!-no, I won't do that, you may amount to something, some day. Perhaps the time will come when you will be a leader of men, when you will have many followers all striving to be as slow as you are, but when that happens the world will move around on its axis but once a week, and Curly Graver will stay in bed and have to be fed with a spoon. Thirsty, here is a cure for that tired feeling. Take it Qlaynds Ercpectorcmtj, but don't drink it all at once. It looks like it, but it isn't light enough. Never let the bottle say to you, You shook me, Sadie. Spud Erdman, let me warn you not to become too blase. Everyone knows about that Glee Club trip 3 you know you told that you got tired of it. It was the same old thing, every place you went you couldn't leave town without kissing all the girls. Yes, that trip was a beauty, and you were not the only one who came back the worse for it. How about that, Nash? It is said that Luke Miller left small pieces of his heart in every town, and that Freddie McNish left a long line of bruised and lacerated hearts from Philadelphia to Des Moines. And those heavenly girls! And those divine dances! Somehow they call up Bill Williams, so please stir your stumps in this direction. Williams! Oh, yes! We all know Williams! U If you would just as lief, don't call me Mr. Williams-call me Perkyln Bill, you are awful easy. It's your failing. Perhaps you have never realized it, but one or two stories will convince the majority of this fact. Excuse me if I address the class. Bill met a nice, fresh, dapper little widow at the shore last summer-one of Red Gulick's friends-and she sent to Bill for six tickets to the Yale football game last fall, without enclosing the cash. The PRESENTAT1oN ORATION. 71 tickets were sent, but the 312.00 has never turned up. Bill said that he liked the widow and all that, but he would make things warm for her husband if he ever got a chance. Oh, nog you are not easy! I heard two girls talking about you on the Glee Club trip. One said: Isn't that Mr. Williams a nice looking fellow ? Yes, said the other, 'ibut he dances like an elephant. Perhaps you remem- berg she sat her dance out with you, but that was not the only time you 'failed to dance all your numbers. There was wild excitement in a' small western town. One of theiyoung ladies was missing and had not been seen for an hour. Bill was also missing. A search party was organized, and at last, on the top story, the mystery was solved. A big bass voice was heard to say Give me your hand and I'll help you up, and the relief expedition arrived just in time to see the young lady's feet disappear towards the roof through a trap-door in the ceiling. Perky, I hate to see you getting lost this way, and I have here a sure guide-no, it is not the bible-and if you feel yourself getting lost, either figuratively or literally, consult this and it will always tell you which is North. Be sure you are right,'then go ahead. QA Oompassj We have a class remarkable for its contrasts. We have beauty from Howard Brokaw to Reddy Robb. We have brains from Russell to Spencer.

Oh, that I could relate the history of Mother Bedford, the bootlicking poker player, the escapades of Brood Dickinson, the Trenton society swell and manager of the Liederteufel, 'or the love scraps of Pigeon Wrenii, the bigot. Oh, thatl could soothe your ears with some of the love yarns of Dud Riggs, or the conquests of Runt Haussling, but the NASSAU HERALD Committee, with their character- istic meanness, only allowed me a few pages, as they wanted the rest of the book for advertisements.

Hennie Lowe, you and Shad Roe better stop smiling down there, this is a serious occasion--a few words and all will be over. Al, I wish I had a picture of the room you and Cas Burt had in Freshman year, the one you stuck Chap Smith Sroo for a half interest in. The only property in it was a chair, a desk, and a picture of yourself on the mantle. But you have changed, and the days of sweaters and borrowed clothes lie far behind you. Since that trip -you know Al took a trip abroad, and this is just where the change came in., When he came back he burned his sweater up and returned that pair of borrowed ducks.

Frank saw a newly painted sign one evening, and while nursing a burst of enthusiam, rushed into Jimmie Calhoun's, seated himself at a table, called a waiter, and with a wave of his hand and a voice of thunder said : I see you have your sign out. Bring me a Vienna Cafe, and hustle it up.', This is all very well, but what would she say if she knew it. Frank, how about your friend of the Herald Square Theatre?

He has been known to prefer a fire-place to a chair and a fire-escape to a bed. Every idea he has 78 THE NAssAU HERALD. is connected in some way or other with heat or cold. His feet have been so chilly on several occasions that his toes were numb, and it took lots of fire Iiandj Water to thaw them out. I have here that which is warranted to keep your feet warm in any climate, at any time of the year. Never say again, H I am all right, but I have 'cold feet.'l Would that I had the brain of a Russell, who once remarked of Kelly, the man with the Princeton pie-face- 'K I never have been cognizant of such stupendous ignor- ance so magnificently exeinplifledfl Would that I had the deep bass tones of a Roy's, who never moves unless he is shoved. Would that I had the mal-odious eloquence of a Gregory, who was once heard to say : I want to be an angel with pink plumes, playing a Hute among the white-robed throng. Would that I had the egoism of Willie Jessup, who always has to stop to think whether God made him or he made God. Would that I had the wisdom of a Post, the author of the mysterious card. Had I all this accumulation of brain, wisdom, egoism, eloquence and expression, I could then call up William A. Reynolds and do him upw right. However, I will ask that dirty, little, black Bill Reynolds to gently gyrate his num- ber nines toward the rostrum. Wipe that smile off. This is no huge joke, but dead earnest. Bill you are the excep- tion to my general rule, and I hope everyone will believe all I say of you, for then, and then only, will I feel that I have done you justice.

Excuse me, I am getting personal, and I woulclvft do that you know. Bill's history would make a volume larger than the college gas bills, so one or two bits Q one up and three down 'lj must suffice. We all know his childishness. He spins tops, rolls hoops, plays marbles, and throws rocks with the same playful spirit he showed twenty-seven years ago. His personal characteristics are many and unique. He has been taken for an Indian, a Jap, and an Esquimaug and a Princeton maiden asked why john Van Nest went around so much with that colored man. Bill has done nearly everything from coaching football teams to hanging out suits in an Atlantic City bath house. He is an ardent ad- mirer of the ladies. Strange to say, he is as yet unmarried. That Mr. Reynolds is very pleasant, said a New Bruns- wick girl, and he has such nice, long arms, too. That makes me think of the five times he has been engaged. So THE NAssAU HERALD. The following letter will explain itself : MR. REYNOLDs: All is over between us. I could never marry a man of such untidy habits. I am glad I found you out.

Poor boy! Don't you remember when you were succes- sively Marshal Ney, Edwin Booth, and Benjamin Harrison, all in one short evening? Have you forgot- ten shooting the chutes, jumping the tennis nets, and eating plaster of paris ? It isn't easy to be good all the time, Uthe spirit is willing but the flesh is weak? Say, Reynolds, you are a regular talking machine. Ramsey said if you were struck dumb you would die in a few hours. Willie McCartney once got off the train at the Junction and walked to Princeton. I-Ie said he heard a peculiar noise which increased in volume as he approached the town, and seeking the cause went down to Edwards and found Bill Reynolds telling stories to his poller friends. Bill is always original, at least he always increases the size of the hammer every time he tells that yarn. But when he only has one chance--well, we all know about his oration on Washingto11's Birthday. It was a pretty good lie, though it was mean to roast Bill Church the way you did. Reflect! Remember those solemn words, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Now, were I asked to fashion a statue of absolute imbe- cility, complete nonentity and abstract falsity, I would 37 PRESENTATION ORATION. 81 carve from the marble block a body with a perfect figure, robust stature and commanding presence, a noble, inspiring and 'god-like specimen of true manhood, and then I would take the chisel and carve upon its shoulders the head of Bill Reynolds. Then I would fashion a little halo above his brow, and, standing him upon his pedestal, would engrave upon the plinth, The Embodiment of Falsity and the King of Liars.

We will pass over the second division. A man in stature small, but in capacity great. The embryonic president of the Union Tank Line. His achievements upon the plat- form, his discourses from the rostrum, his speeches from the stump, all mark him as a man of ability, the hero of the hour, the orator of the moment, and the Nestor of the occa- sion. Oft have I heard him sway his auditors with but a single word, as with appropriate gesture he captivated the listening multitude. How proudly could he exclaim, Ye call me chief, and ye do well to call Gill chief, who for four long years hath met every manner of man that the univer- sity could produce and never yet hath lowered his stein I 'I A prize for best all around oratory has been offered by A.

I would give Gustavos Hopper a big long rope so he could tie his arms behind his back on the Glee Club trips and save many a rumpled shirt front and wilted collar. I would give Tyler something he could use to cut loose from the ties which bind, and could go out into the wide world whole-hearted, ready to love and be loved anew. I heard a young lady say that Mn Alexander is such a divine creature! Would I could give him a pair of wings to complete the angelic conception. Itchy Wood would get a curry-comb for that itching palm. Phoebe jones would get a bed, his tendency for sleeping in out-of-the-way places is noted. Mattison would get a few dollars so he could pay Perkins that hfty and Spencer that fifteen, and I would show him a picture of his walk when anyone is watching him. I would give Bulger Olcott a pair of 'slippers so he could use them in place of Bill Williamsl, and, finally, I would offer to Bill Liggett a nice new pair of boxing gloves. Let me see, who was voted the handsomest man in the class ? Oh, yes! Howard Brokaw, advance and give the countersign K' Wite Wooster. He is, as you see, Ladies and Gentlemen, very handsome. How the fair sex rave over him. Such eyes! Such raven tresses, and what a complexion! Isn't he sweet, girls? Why, you could spread him on bread and think he was molasses. To speak more of his personal appearance would be as super- iiuous as - To paint the lily, To throw perfume on the violet. He speaks for himself, at least he did once.

But, Bill, honestly I am going to let you clown easy.

Neither will I tell how many chances you have taken in lotteries nor how many blanks you have drawn. I pass all this over and tell but one little incident. It all happened in gay New York the night after the game. The city knew more of Bill than Bill did of the city. QHe was a stranger there.j I-Ie was possessed by one lone desire-to attend the theatre. In the pride of his heart, and for the sake of companionship, he induced a colored man, for the recompense of a shekel or two, to act as his escort and body-guard. Starting boldly out, they boarded a Broadway car, and Bill stood on the platform to see the sights and get fresh air. A young lady in the car rose and started towards the door as 86 THE Nassau HERALD. if to get off, and Bill saw her first. He felt that somehow the rear platform was crowded, and fearing the young lady would be unable to pass, in a burst of polite- ness made a most profound bow and stepped oft the car. The car and the lady went on, but Bill still sat in the street with a vague look on his handsome face and a hazy idea that, after all, this was a hard, hard world. He called to his assistant, and they both struggled to their feet a11d took a fresh start. The fellow was carrying a heavy cane and Bill coveted it. K' Gee, he said, tl1at's a nice cane you have there ! Let me see it. U The cane was passed over, but not long did it remain inactive. Bill's pugilistic nature cropped out, and raising the stick high in the air,he brought it down three distinct and separate times on the poor body guard's head. Police! Help! Police! I' and Bill, in an agony of fear, dropped everything but his run- ning, gait and immediately lit out for home. And say, maybe he didn't run ! With imaginary cops chasing him, he dodged around corners and cut across streets, ran down dark alleys, and finally landed in a small park where, to throw the hounds of justice off the scent, he circled round a fountain for half an hour, and, at length, exhausted, hid himself underneath a bench and waited for the dawn. At early morn he appeared at the Murray Hill and told his wondering friends how he had been assaulted and robbed by foot-pads to the number of fourteen thousand seventeen hundred and ninety-six 'I ' Fellows, I would like to see harmony in our class before we part.

Freddie prides himself on his large experience, but there is one story he usually keeps silent about. It was after the Yale game in New York, and he had been' invited to dinner, at a private residence. The hostess was waiting but no McNish appeared. At last there was a ring and something went into the parlor. The young lady went down stairs to receive her guest, but that was entirely unnecessary. Freddie had made himself perfectly at home. He had taken all the pictures down and was sitting on the floor talking to a painting of Diana, which he had artistically placed in the 'open grate. He was telling the ancient maiden what a good football player 88 THE NAssAU HERALD. she would make, but she would have to pad up consider- ably, when the appearance of a second lady on the scene released the Goddess from her perilous predicament.

The bag was provided with an overflow pipe which conducted the water to the bath tub, and Joe figured out that his apparatus was in theory perfect.

Translating our Latin, Working our problems, or getting -subscriptions for the class-album-he has done all in a Way which deserves nothing but praise. Making his Way through college un- aided, even in adversity he has had a smile and a pleasant Word for all. We respect and honor you, Pop.

Before it is all over, I Wish to congratulate our relay team on their victory inthe Caledonian games-Graver, Brokaw, Robb and Jamison. They have been instrumental in many victories for Ninety-Seven, and the least We can do is to thank them in public for their hard, conscientious Work in behalf of the class.

FELLOW CLASSMATES :-The words we have ig heard thus far ,to-day have tended to make us live over again the four years which are now completed and gone, and events in which we, as individuals and as a class, have taken part, have been brought back to mind so as to drive away for a short time the thought of the morrow. 'But before closing thesehexercises, it is fitting that we should pause for a moment to consider our coming separation, and endeavor to realize what departure from the scenes we love so dearly means to us all. Our career thus far has been one of happiness, though sometimes sorrow has come to temper the joy and cause greater appreciation of it to follow. The sadness which we now feel when the time has come to break with the associa- tions of college life, is mixed with hope for the future, for we have parted the thread of that life and cannot take it up at will after the passage of a few months, as we have done heretofore. - We stand on the verge of a great change, one eagerly anticipated by many during these, fleeting years, and yet, now that it is near, we would accept almost any pretext to defer our entrance into the surrounding world's activity. We have had advantages greater by far than the majority of those with whom we will come into contact from now on, and as the generous giver of them, we will always remem- ber and be grateful to our Alma Mater. She has been our guide through very important years of our lives, and in spite of the many valuable opportunities allowed to slip by 98 THE NAssAU HERALD. through carelessness for our own good, what loving memo- ries and cherished associations will we be able to carry away with us after her final Godspeed two days hence! We have finished the training preliminary to our life- work, and as we are assembled together for nearly the last time, let each examine carefully his own heart, to learn whether his character has been moulded into the stronger, truer type of manhood to which we aspire, and to find out if he is prepared to advance victorious through the battles before him. If his search has no good results, if he finds his character wanting, he must blame only himself for fail- ingpto become invested with the proffered gifts. For all these unequaled privileges withwhich we have been blessed, we are held responsible to our beloved college, and there- fore let us push on in whatever field of labor our lives shall be spent, bearing in mind that as we advance in years and experience, every good word or deed, and every success, reliects great credit upon her, and every act which harms the individual brings proportional discredit to her. The close friendships we have formed during these last years will be an inspiration in our work, and a common bond of union at all times, however distant we may be. From to-day, let each one realize that no matter what shall be his lot, whether every effort is crowned with success, or hardships and trials follow him close, let him remember that all of his classmates are watching him attentively, ready to lend a helping hand if ever it is needed, .and eagerly hoping that there will not be one lingering behind in the steady progress onward to the glory of our country, our college, and our class. As we each choose a flower from this wreath, emblematic of our lasting union, I dedicate the first three to the memory of those who have gone ahead to their final rest, away from the suffering so bravely borne while with us, and to whom we look back with such deep regret, and one PREs1DENT's ADDRESS.

HERE are divers ways of beginning a history. The time-honored Princeton method consists in present- ing a vivid picture of a promising youth on his way to the opening of college. He is riding on the Pennsylvania R. R., and' apt to be fast asleep. This is to give an opportunity for the stentorian-voiced brakeman to bellow in sonorous tones, 'fPrinceton Iunction,,' at which an- nouncement the half-dazed boy rubs his eyes and follows the crowd of fifteen or twenty handsome, gayly chatting young fellows out of the car and over to the branch road. Here, properly enough, Hungry Golden is introduced, and the story of the Golden fleece. p Back again, .old manfn' Have a slick vacation? Heard of Coon's engagement P and kindred expurgated briefs on the part of the old men produce the desired feel- ing of loneliness and yearning homesickness which endures unchangingly until the time, say of the rush.l' Then stirring appeals made to the sense of wrong suffered, or to the budding class spirit, supplant at one bound the senti- mental melancholy, and a happier and somewhat snappier mood prevails. Rapid strides are made in all directions. The young Freshman seems to branch out into as many sub-heads as Comtels classification of the sciences. He be- gins to smoke, walk to the cider mill, and carry matches. He nods familiarly to jack Topley, and afterward Wishes he FRESHMAN YEAR. roi hadn't. Finally he writes home that he has ordered a corduroy suit and pair of high leather boots, which are great institutions. Realizing that the above is no despicable way to. begin a history, I have thus evasively touched on a few of the main headings to inspire confidence among the conservatives as to my consideration of tradition. But to please certain of the class, with Whom you might just as Well become acquainted now as later Qit Won't harm you to read about themj, such men as jimmy Rhodes, jerry Bradley, Dud Riggs, Albert Rosengarten, or Percy Williains, I have adopted the Carlyle theory of history, or the great man theory, or the sport, as he is technically called in Sociology. These men, and many more, loomed up over the dawning horizon as stars of the first magnitude from their very in- cipiency and have not suffered, entire eclipse since. Perhaps the critical will dispute Percy Willianis a priori right to the position he has been assigned. It is true that he was not engrossingly noticeable until the time of our early class meeting, but at that time his firm adherence to Robert's rules of order, his patient forbearance amid appalling igno- rance, his tactful instructiveness, Won him unchallenged pre-eminence. It is too early a stage of this book to probe into each one's personal fitness for such early mention, suf- fice it to say that had Carlyle received the contract for this history, his innate fairness would have compelled him to enroll at once a hundred men on his list of the great. The sport theory of greatness would have claimed fifty more, and thus at the very beginning half the class would have started from the scratch mark, and the other half with but little handicap. Being so closely incorporated, however, with the class, I have not had the assertive audacity to claim too much, and so, although I firmly concede the justice of assuming a hundred and fifty men of Ninety- Seven great in one Way or another at the outset, yet I 102 THE N ASSAU HERALD. much prefer to begin with a few, and end with having proved the entire class great, to lead from special cases to a general rule, to advance from a little lump of leaven, as it were, to a whole bakery shop. Ninety-Seven had its heroes, even in the pristine days. Most of us had not been in Princeton long before we found it necessary to enquire the way to Examination Hall, at least this is what the Profs. thought for a long time, but their view is easily dis- proven by the fact that the two hundred of us who sat ex- pectant in Marquand Chapel on Wednesday, September the zoth, at 3 P.M., could readily prove alibis to Examination Hall. Dr. Patton's remarks at that time, accompanying the one hundred and forty-seventh opening of ' the college, regarding the large sense of proprietorship rife among the Sophomores, and the face value of the declaration as com- ing from his lips that there would be no such thing as optional chapel while he should be President of the insti- tution, were received in fallow ground. The subdued lights sifting through the manly forms of David and Jona- than and the orange glass of the west. window, accorded well with the callowness of our hearts. We were young and inexperienced. I forget whether it was Selden Gill or Wayne Wilson who first shook our belief in compulsory chapel as equally binding on all. It was probably Wayne, who had had a brother in college. Gilly has since com- pletely out-distanced him in the fertility and depth of his annual excuses before the Faculty, and in the vast know- ledge of human nature they display. But I am anticipating. It is still the opening day of college. There were many new features about the campus besides our own. There was the new Inn, which then only smelt of fresh paint, and its fine' grill-room. Then Alexander Hall, with the exception of its twelve apostles, or Hodges on the outside, as the guessing contests variously put it, and the buggy and mosaics inside, was FRESHMAN YEAR. iog, practically complete. The shades of our first evening at college eventually hid all these new specialties. if It is 6:40 olclock, and Dr. Patton, not content with his after- noon address, is in Murray Hall welcoming the few new arrivals who have had the courage to follow the instruc- tions contained in the yellow studentls directory presented by the Philadelphian Society. Perhaps the keynote of the day andoccasion was voiced by Rogers, Peet SL Co., in their opening manifesto, which runs somewhat as below, and which wafted many a young tenderling into an unjustiiiably secure repose: H To the new-fledged Freshman, extend- ing our cordial greeting, we hope that we may enjoy and profit by the many advantages of this community, concern- ing certain of which it shall be our pleasant duty to speak hereafter. Such a general good understanding in regard to duties and privileges did this neat welcome establish, that for the next three weeks such men as Jayne Qwho afterward established a record for chapel cutsj, Pardee, Will Ayers Reynolds, Theodore Fairbanks Reynolds, Dickinson Cwhose right leg was so delicate that at the end of these three weeks he obtained and excuse Q, and Willy Gamble, who ought to have known better, attended involuntary chapel regularly in Murray Hall, until the seating lists being posted they fell gradually away. There were, fortunately, members of N inety-Seven who were not fatally diverted by the new sensations and interests of the hour. .The newness and strangeness that had robbed most of us of our individuality for the nonce, and caused us to herd together for composite protection and collected thought, had not extended to Art. Kennedy and Manager Mat. They were able to be dispassionately reflective from the beginning, and became the stimuli directly responsible for the organization of the class. The former used his influence to have a class-meeting called, it hadn't been thought of before, and the latter used his eloquence 104 THE NAssAU HERALD. when itwas called. It has been intimated that Percy Williams was also in evidence in this meeting. It is true. It did not, however, interfere with Harry Mat's eloquence. There was room for both of them, for most of thefellows were modest in the presence of the juniors and Seniors thronging the platform and galleries. Yes, we met in the old chapel, under the shade of the Bulletin Elm, now only a name in the Priotzcetonvjan, and elected our iirst oilicers. They were Jerome Bradley, President 5 Howard Brokaw, Vice-president, and Nelson Bradley, Secretary and Treas- urer. Outside, warnings of a gathering storm were not want- ing. Biffy Lea had gathered his Sophomore cohorts around him, and they were anxiously awaiting us at the door, and we soon met. The newly elected officers in the front were pushed through the doors by the catapult at their heels, and in a minute the dust lifted and exposed us to view, standing bare-headed over by the Dickinson end of the library, taking our caps out of our pockets and smooth- ing out their creases. We dispersed, after several exultant whoops, tothe several eating clubs which claimed us for indigestion. Football practice was now in full swing. The resounding thuds of the heavy-weights on the sun- burned grass as they fell on the ball, the crisp pats of the canvas jackets and the shrill cries of the coaches were the proper things. We pointed with enviable pride to reputed stars in our class showing up well with the old men. There were lots or' them to be discussed. Net Poe, Billy Church, Shy Thompson, jarvey Geer, Jake Altman, Jimmy Rhodes, Rosie, Percy Williams, Andrus, Reddy Robb, Wilson, Rogers, Nelson Bradley, Slim, and many more, including Leipold. Everything was progressing. All of us believed jack McMaster's remarks about our being potential athletes, and were trying something. Even josh Pilling had shaken himself temporarily free from his lethargy and donned a football suit. Equally amazing PRESHMAN YEAR. ro 5 were Paul Hurst's long walks around the country with such striders as Long John Reilly or Billy Pell. At this time Art. Hagemeyer was more than four years younger than he is now, and roomed with Brude Dickinson over Josh Pilling. He was on easy terms with josh and in the habit of holding conversations with him, cr la Billingsgate, each outside his own window. Josh was constantly facetious, as Jesse Riggs Lewis has told me, in these informal talks. One day he called up to Hag and in- formed him that he was about to open something. Hag and he slammed their windows simultaneously, illustrating some psychological law unknown to either, and Hag went downstairs only to be disappointed. The next morning, however, Hag saw by the Princeton paper, that the Sem- inary had been opened, and concluded that josh had been speaking metaphorically. i Such were the early days, free and connding as the Latin Quartier. We were making history unconsciously then, and didn't have to think about it, now we are making it with an effort and have harder work to maintain our standard. Since hard rubber balls were discarded on the intercol- legiate diamond in favor of the leather sphere, no class has heeded the Princezfoniarfs editorial admonition to begin class baseball practice early, as did Ninety-Seven. The fruits of this obedience, manifest a few weeks later, more than repaid our trouble. While then our young twirlers were limbering up, or making 'tbeautu stops and throws, or being weeded out, Evelyn College inaugurated another term. The dear girls iiocked back again to Queenstown, and Eph Will,iams, Harry Harris, and some of the suscep- tible ones, immediately joined the Seminoles in their after- noonpromenade down Nassau street. Indeed, it was to afford an effective contrast to his ruddy face and cherry lips that Eph bought that white cap which made him so marked an object in all of Freshman year, as well as on his ro6 THE NAssAU HERALD. daily walk with Harry Harris. Harry would guy Eph up to the safety-valve on these occasions by challenging his motives in purchasing that cap, alleging his belief in the above mentioned, just tell them that you saw men motive. Eph would declare on such provocation that the cap was to exasperate the Sophomores. Although this was not true at the time, yet it was profoundly so when the great Inter-Underclassmen baseball game occurred a few days later. There is ample re-ason to suppose Harry was piqued at Ephls continual holiday appearance, for he soon adopted the excellent expedient of using the nearest Seminole for a foil on approaching Evelyn. This succeeded admirably. Thus he was always seen to the best advantage too. But to examine into the causes leading up to our great victory over the Sophs, the motives involved, and the magnitude of the result achieved, is my next pleasing duty, as Mr. Peet would say. Prof. Westcott tried to divert some of our team aspirants from their work in hand by offering a counter attraction in the shape of an alluring course in Latin sight reading. This was the crucial chance for many candidates. They had comeito the cross-roads. They must decide between the baseball team or more enduring laurels. Thus, stress of study compelled one and another of our mostmettlesome champions to relinquish this oppor- tunity. I think there were about fifteen or twenty of us who regretfully left the held, weren't there, Gus or Sleepy Graver, or Johnny Graham, or Tom and Frank Evans, or Roy Cooley, or any of the rest of you? Well, if Prof. Westcott's course only held six or eight, the baseball team only held nine or eleven, so it's all right. The 30th day of September, that great day, at last arrived, and all the concentrated wealth induced by the insults we had suffered in our two weeks at College, poured out of the hours which the juniors furnished us, or rushed out of our throats in un- checked disorder as we ridiculed one and another of the - FRESHMAN YEAR. 1o7 Ninety-Six team. Pip Frazer and a few others were pointed out to us, and racily pictured in a few choice words by johnny Weiss or H. O. Brown. These words we were quick to adopt, for even the ponderous and slow-moving ones of our class, Bill Liggett, Turney, joe Ryle, Alex. Neill, jr., Chatfield, etc., realized that the fate of a class was hanging in the balance.- Victory must perch upon our banners at some cost, but we hardly thought it would cost so little. A little exertion on the part of jake Altman in the box, and the day was ours. Eph waved his white cap till its exasperative qualities rivalled those of a red flag to a bull. The horn debt has probably not yet been liquidated, but it don't matter, it can go on the assessment. Everything had smiled upon us on this day. Comely Dame Fortune was a Freshman Goddess l VVe could now dare to face the cold, bleak world once more and look the tyrants in their everlasting faces. We awoke the next morning like Byron and found ourselves great. A victory over the Sophomore class by the Fresh- man had not occurred since '84, and I2-6. It was too easy. The champion team may like to be recorded on the class annals. It included Buck Thompson, jerry Bradley, jake Altman, Sank, Luke Miller, Fred Smith, Baldy Wil- son, Case and Bede Williams. Now, for a long time the inadequate accommodations which the college afforded for its dancers had been troubling certain of the fussers of the Institution. They declared that the absence of a Casino or Odeon, or a building with any one of a dozen names con- taining Greek roots, was retarding the growth ofthe college. The outcome of all this mental contortion is the large, low, yellow, plaster building now filling the southern end of the Edward's playground. It was started with much difficulty, but received quite an 'impetus at the early election of Wayne XVilson to the Committee. Wayne also had his name in the Pwincetonian about this 108 THE NAssAU HERALD. time in connection with the Geo. W. Childs Academic Entrance Prize. Tom Ingham, or Hunk, as the secretary has him, was excessively mortihed for the same reason. He won the prize in its scientihc extension, and had an easy time of it, I imagine. Why, in Freshman year even joe Ryle was second or third in his class. He is too much busied now with other and more original pursuits to devote too much time to the curriculum. Three other noted prizemen, who will make fit subjects for the class prophelfs horoscope, were Percy R. Colwell, Nick Stahl and Dan Nevin. One day early in October, down at the 'Varsity field, Harry Beam and Nick Stahl were scandalized to see what looked very like Henry Norris Russell watching the football practice. They were unbelieving until in the direct line of vision be- tween Henry and the players, a few feet in front of him, they noticed a distinguished looking man with a fine fore- head, who turned out to be the famous savant, Professor Klein of mathematical fame. Then all the mystery of their minds was swallowed up in clear revelation. But the magnetic powers of the great college game were becom- ing so strong that few could keep from the scene of their hopes. I think no class has ever passed through college retaining a more constant conhdence in their athletic teams than Ninety-Seven. Our men were working like Trojans on the 'Varsity and Scrub, and the neighboring teams and minor organizations were falling like nine-pins before the 7 Varsity, both in Princeton and out of town. There was an instinctive breath of hope moving in the campus atmos- phere-hope for the championship. Our nostrils dilated as we smelt the battle of Thanksgiving Day afar off. But the days of secret practice and the Penn game were not so remote. Only a few important happenings preceded them. I refer to the acceptance, by the Glee Club, of jimmy Rhodes services and of Harvey's. The Banjo Club also found room FRESHMAN YEAR. ro9 for Jimmy Rhodes, Carl George and Lee Terry on its lists. jimmy was tearing his shirt. Mention should be made here of the Hall elections, and how Pop Keener is reputed to have passed twice through the initiation mill. This is a private matter, however, and donlt concern the Clio men of the class. Meanwhile, our class football team had been training under the leadership of Itchy Wood. They were, moreover, as full of disagreements as the early church, con- taining some of the most pronouncedly emphatic characters who ever emphasized their grievances publicly. In the face of these malcontents, Woody became actually apprehen- sive and decidedly superstitious as to buds of promise for the Fall victories. He decided to place himself beyond the reach of their reproach or reflections. With vulpine cun- ning he prepared a speech, which, while it scornfully pronounced their inevitable desolation, was yet so potent as to awake a desire in their breasts for his return and pacification. This Phillipic which kindled such tremendous sensations in the breasts of the stalwart band and almost dissuaded them from electing Jamie Clark captain, is but unjustly rendered by the expressionless type. A few portions of it are appended, by kind permission of Whig Hall, in the hope that the glorious figure of the young leader may again live in the memory of those who listened to it. SIRS: When the finger of manifest destiny pointed me from the far Dakotas to the fair gates of this institution, at once the private interests of F. Montgomery Wood, jr., were esteemed the vilest dross compared to the great love he bore his class.

VVoe be to him, who, in his proud conceit, receives my cast-off football mantle, heavy from its headlong fall, etc., etc. rro THE NAssAU HERALD. To make it worse, the Sophomores were making fools of us. On many a beautiful night have we stood beside the water tower and barked the moon behind a cloud. This accomplished, only changed our labor to tackling corn- stalks or playing dog and coon. But we didn't have much to complain of. It was all in a lifetime, we told ourselves. That even waiting on table would seem appetizing when seen through the perspective of twenty years. Rowing with toothpicks was a graceful feat and helped us in our gesture drills with Covington. There seemed to be a cause for every effect. Variety was, for the Fall season, our spice of life. The hazing we received was an excellent reducer of swellings. Leipold shrunk perceptibly, when, toward evening of a dark day, he clave the dusky waters of the Pennsylvania railroad canal. He never was the worse for it, however, as the railroad didnlt sue, and the Sopho- mores were content not to follow up their advantage. Kirkwood, who has since side-tracked passing fame with the theorem bearing his own name, H All mathematicians etc. , at about this time defended the majesty of literature, or at least writing, against all comers in the accepted Westerii fashion. Abbott says it was mere bullet-proof of the old adage: A man's house is his castle. November 5th is worthy of lingering notice. It added one more Pennsyl- vania football 'to our trophy room, or rather the overflow store-room addition. It enabled us to see our faults, and caused the coaches to invent a few remedies. Ninety-Seven had journeyed in wholesale proportions to Philadelphia to see this battle, and to join in the mimic ones at Broad street station. Perhaps we had also lost on the score. Freshmen are always taking the long end of chances. At any rate, the Pwncezfonian found, or made, an opportunity for using one of their editorials on our poor support of our team fthe founders of that organ must have been hackney dynamosj. Their successors have brilliantly exemplified FRESHMAN YEAR. 1 I r what Dr. Patton calls the ingenuity of the editorial mind struggling with a paucity of ideas. The Thanksgiving game of Ninety-Three, long to be recalled, furnished not only profuse and happy material for the daily Pride of Princeton, but the Qigei' and Lit. as well. The Tiger, in his happy irresponsibility, prophesied the result, or, as he would say, adjusted his Crookes tube to his horoscope and laid Victory by the ears. While the gossip in the Lit. in one of those dreamy it penseroso reveries, which many think are the cream of every issue, even saw in the blue clouds of smoke hovering round the fragrant bowl eleven dangling scalps, and from the glowing steam radiator Qfor truth's sakel a live coal, dropped even on the dangling scalps, and the soon pervading aroma of burning hair awakened him. Thus, although excluded from ocular proof on the 'Varsity field, our hope was strengthened and kept alive by such happy omens as these. We Hooked to New York like an integral factor, and were more than repaid for any premium we may have paid on our tickets, for all the foolish questions our women friends may have asked Qthey didn't ask nearly so many as the Yale girl that dayj, for our three years of unrelenting preparation. The teams raced into the great gridiron. Each was able and willing, but ours was screwed up to the stick- ing point and there they stayed. We were a resistless machine and it was our turn. Our men were made to feel their individuality after the last touch-down only. That evening the sky was literally and figuratively orange. Mars was not the only orange planet in the solar system, there were others, while Marbles originated' the Yellow Kid craze. The momentous victory properly solemnized on our return from ,Thanksgiving recess by a bonfire, mis- taken by the people of Philadelphia for northern lights, we had time to think on our sore arms and backs Cmostly our backsj, for we had carried the wood and carted the II2 THE NA.ssAU HERALD. fences and staved in the oil barrels. The trees around the old cannon suffered most, but would not have been any more willing to have missed it than we. ' Well, once again we hooked and eyed the thread of our collegiate relations, and realized that during the tumult W. B. Pell had seen his chance to insinuate himself on the Tiger Board, and taken it. Walter Harris and W. M. Post had outstripped their competitors in Clio Hall and received prizes for debate. But what was more important to the class, and to Chappie Reynolds in particular, was his election to the captaincy of the N inety-Seven football team, which had occurred a short time previously. By this change another man was introduced to public notice, and several victories placed to our credit. In fact, our prowess exhibited at the close of the season a total of enor- mous proportions. Had not the effulgence radiated from Trenchard, and his worthy supporters naturally discounted our halos, we should have been tendered the freedom of the college and owned the whole place. We were an undefeated team, however, and we .marked a renaissance for the college. Everything went along as merrily as a marriage bell until Christmas, and then all of us evacuated Princeton for short times. Those that didnlt go to his or her home ran down to Philadelpia or New York to see Wanamaker's store or go to the theatre, respectively. After we had pre- sented all of our girl friends with a Brio-a-Brac, and lorded around our former schools for awhile, it was nearly time to return. The Junction again loomed up, and hastily resign- ing our bright orange Princeton pins to the darkness of our pockets, we traveled slowly for the re1nainder of the way to our scene of duty. . The H annual mid-year festivities of illiteracy now began to overshadow us. Coming events cast their shadows before, and their shade is not of a suitable quality to bask FRESHMAN YEAR. A rr 3 in. The adventurous spirits among us who had been enjoying a fairly scintillating Autumn on the 'Varsity field, securing a hold, as they thought, on their Alma Mater's affections, now began to feel their grasp weaken. Pie Kelly, Abby, Charley Roys, Van Cleaf, and a host of cider drinkers, wished they had bought their wash at the grocer's and spent less time on the road. I am sure Greg repented fully two-thirds of his pennies and deportment wasted on Cam. Those who had beguiled away the idle moments specu- lating on the possible uses for Perkin's voice, or why Mittendorf wore gloves, to the exclusion of questions more directly bearing on the curriculum, now began to consult the almanac for some plausible disease to send them to the iniirmary. Pink-eye and watered housemaid's knee were an effective cggrnbination for that purpose. For entertain- ing purposes during the end of the month, the Sophomore Class and Mr. B. Fay Mills were a very popular couplet. They worked by different methods, but both affected the reform motive. None of us will forget how we were divided up into gospel sharks and reprobates, and how we strove to eschew such distinctions in vain. We do not doubt, however, that a tidal wave of improvement passed over the old college at this time. A Princeton winter, which three subsequent replicas have forced us to believe typical, had now ingratiated itself with everybody but the Freshman. The Coal department of the college offices was pleased for one reason, the Sophomores for another. Without the well-meant savagery of the Sophomore Class what would become of the dreary days of the Princeton winter, and what would become of all the snow! . How Doggy Yeatts sprinted up Chambers street, feeling thus early the claims of the track upon him! How Tom Baird cut dessert while the cold weather lasted ! We shall never forget the flying feet and driven snow, only our II4 . THE Nassau HERALD. remembrance of it will be indexed in Sophomore year. In connection with the snowfall, and to appease his injured feelings, Jesse R. Lewis conceived a plan which revealed the utmost acumen, and displayed an astounding acquaint- ance with the gullibility of the average Seminole. Its results justified the largest and most complacent. satis- faction. Briefly, he did this. Having obtained the consent of Wayne Wilsoii to use his backyard as a breastwork, he invited Burly Dickinson around to enjoy the trial and lend a little moral support. Now, Wayne's backyard was on Alexander street, nee Canal, and faced in the rear upon the Seminary grounds. It was thus admirably situated for offensive purposes. His plan fully recognized this quality, and consisted in pelting the clergy from the nether side of this retreat. It was not long until Burly VVayne, Hervey, Studdiford, and a merrfyg crowd were foisting their hostile pleasantries in this unreciprocated way. fOne resultj After testing the pleasure of this amusement, jesse never uttered a word of reproach to the Sophomores when he caught it in the neck. But the beguilement of our Freshman winter was not mainly on the breezy campus or the skating ponds. The Golf Association had not started, and there was about as much hope for the Casino as for the Brokaw tank. We were allowed in the Vienna Cafe, but it hadn't been started either, so we huddled together in small groups in various parts of the town. Hickey Smyth, for instance, would sit sunning hirnself during the long afternoons at his window, watching in true Castilian fashion, the Evelyn girls go by. Billy Trainer, George Crozier, Teddy Balkan, Long john Reilly, and invited accomplices would hang round jack De Coursey's room until he would prepare them something to eat, then desert'him for some of Freddie Shaw's stories, downstairs. The C. E. men from our early embarkation in the college life, drawn together FRESHMAN YEAR. ' IIS by the congenial nature of their pursuits, had encouraged the friendly advances of their own limited number more than those of the general run of the class. So they had already become thick, and could' even be accurately located within a short time by either the process of recluctvlo acl absurclum, or guessing. Gathered around some C. E. man's hearth, many a weighty problem was volatilized and dissi- pated in smoke. Zac. Taylor dates his success from a memorable winter's evening, when Tom Ingham, compass in hand, his dark eyes glowing with ambition, told of his love for learning, his passion for research 5 how his profound preparatory years were beginning to reap a golden harvest of grain. Fellows, I have been awarded the Geo. W. Childs prize, adjudged superior to all my competitors. This early palm is but the indicative herald of the fall of whole forests of truth. To be brief, in the language of Artemus Ward, He then perceived he had a future. Well, the exams. came on and found us in a resolute frame of mind. The fact that we had a choice of any of six groups was much more liberal than our school experience. We found soon, however, that the professors shook the dice--box, and that we were to remain as expectantly anxious over their choice as if we were drawing for a room in Brown or a blank. The Honor System, which had been experimentally tried a year before, was thor- oughly guaranteed to following Freshman classes by our treatment of it. It suifered no ,violation at our hands, but was hailed, on the contrary, as a vast improvement over the annoying substitutes in vogue in the recollections of some of us. The class .of Ninety-Seven has always cherished the Honor System along with its dearest tra- ditions and possessions. We welcomed it at the begin- ning of our course, and have come to the end only to enthusiastically commend it to our followers. It is founded on the same loyalty and honor as Old North, the 116 ' THE NAssAU HERALD. old cannon, and all our. dearest monuments, and shall be as enduringly preserved, while it lies as near our hearts and is held as real a thing in our beliefs as they.' The exams. were not unadulterated evils, for Ninety-Seven has always had a large iirst and second group, and possesses several true genii who regard exams. as so many opportunities for dis- play of goods unseasonable at ordinary times. I hate to call all the first group men pollers, but those who at this antedated period incurred the suspicion and have not warned by it, but have persisted in the tirst division, these deserve the opprobrium. Creditably to the conservative reputation of our class be it noted that the hrst group has been more of a variable with us than a constant quantity. The brumal and vernal tides have varied our tlotsam and jetsam most impartially. At one time you will find Billy Jessup in the coveted first, then if you look again you will see that Horace Greeley Padgett has occupied that place, while Billy is in the sixth. Freddy Jessup, who was first Academic honorman of N inety-Seven after these mid-year exams., tells us that he has not been there since, and is now content to be normal and governed by the general pulse of the class. The scholarship problem, as viewed by such representatives of the class as Bob Sterling, who was interviewed in regard to the Cuban question, Seward Erdman and Geo. Howe, ex- perts and specialists in political economy, law and hnance, are believed to be controlled by inscrutable destiny, although they aver that on its human or rationalistic side those same principles should govern which hold in inter-collegiate bicycle racing. That is, loaf for the first mile and live- eights, and then may the least untrammeled spurter win. 'lUp from the jaws of death, out of the mouth of hell H our partly depleted ranks rode to take a view of more congenial things. There is nothing that is half such fun as exams. -when they are over. , FRESHMAN YEAR. r r 7 The most diametrically opposite pursuits were now en- tered into. A large party of us, who had not yet learned to estimate ourselves impartially or hold the mirror up to our own natures, were again trying for the 'Varsity base- ball team. As many more were constant admirers along the sides of the cage, hoping for a chance to bat grounders or pitch straight balls for the batting practice. This con- sumed but too little of the long stretch of unbroken leisure before us. Tony Hill, joe Ryle, Hervey Studdiford, and Sam Small wedged in with these amusements quite an amount of by-pl ay which, while deviating from the pursuits of the other fellows, didn't set a popular precedent. Tony, always replete with suggestions, outlined a plot in which the dramatis persona required male characters. joe, Sam and Stud were found to meet one or two of the major re- quirements for the three minor parts, and the quartette set forth as Electric Lighting Agents. Tony was the foreman, as he was particularly gifted in the art of entangling irrel- evant topicless conversation. The others were serviceable in so far as their belieing faces held to their previous repu- tation. Equipped with a small coil and a string of glass insulators, they canvassed Steadman and other streets of the West End, meeting everywhere with unwarrantedqsuc- cess. Tony described the utility of the glass and wire in their possession, and after dwelling at length upon the need for replenishment and reinforceinentfof the average electric arc light, managed to let some of the picture hanging wire and a glass insulator or two. He was thrown down at the last house, however, before getting into more serious trou- ble, by the aged incumbent, who had only been trained up to the point of tallow dips, and who propounded the simple interrogation, Bulbs I what do I want with bulbs ? None of the caste could rejoice with sufficient -assurance, nor could Tony, and on the principle that U he who hesitates is lost, they forthwith abandoned the quarry. Hill had in II8 THE NAssAU HERALD. mind a story, for he is a literary man, and was working up afew realistic incidents in this way. His early severing of college relation has made it difficult to ascertain many more interesting and psychological facts about his work. Well, we must not forget the team practice in the cage, it hasto do with us too intimately. There were men in our class who had secured an option on the 'Varsity ever since the playing of the famous game with Ninety-Six. These were naturally the cynosures of the inquisitive. Others of our players, such as Sankey, were up to the standard on many things, and only on the waiting list because lacking the experience of the older men. The catalogue of our pitchers, .Terry Bradley, Lady Jane, Baldy Wilson, jake Altman, Hitzrot, was all-comprehensive and truly a cause of congratulation to the undergraduates. We also had three excellent catchers, Bede Williams, Geo. Case and Fred Smith, and have developed many more since. Altogether, the forecast- ers, or prophets admitted, that we were synonymous with the season's success, and picked a half dozen of us as proba- bilities. The cage ball practice is not so tiresome to the spectator as to the average player, and not apt to be tire- some to the latter if his prospects are at all bright or his stock quoted around par. However, there are times when duties intrinsically pleasant, but irksome in indennite ex- tension, can mutually relax while they exchange a hurried bow. Coming as a precursor to the sad Lenten season, George Washington's birthday stands forth as conspicuous- ly as the last tavern on the New Hampshire border before entering Maine. It is the especial red-letter day of the long, blank winter season, and well divides the season be- tween exams. and Lent. The American National Game is too vital a matter to hang fire long, even over Washing- ton's birthday or synonomous interruptions. Everything but a Faculty injunction is supposed to be ridden over ' FRESHMAN YEAR. I I9 with impunity, and so, had it not fortunately been that some of the elements 'of this welcome anniversary differ but in method from recognized athletic pursuits, the ball-play- ers might have cut it. The whole spirit of the day, as seen through orange glasses, is one of contest, and contest as diversihed as ever engaged the mind and body of the great founder. How well we all remember the secret smuggling in of our horse cards, and the careful prep- aration of them., The Procs had alluded to the ball game ,I2-6 at great length, and even immortalized it with a poem, but Ninety-Six was such a decidedly large class that there still were lots of queues at hand with which to start the ball rolling in other directions. Our success had not emboldened us to a reckless extent. Indeed, Tam- many Hall, the Lawrenceville Club, Van Bibber, clubs with names and without, and unattached members of our class, celebrated very early dinners the night of the 21st, and retired hastily to their several rooms so as to insure the more certain leave of them on the morrow. Many didn't take their dinner externally at all at this time, but contented themselves with what they happened to have in their rooms. I Scotchy Macleay, Charley Speer, jarvey Geer, Bandy Derr and Dutch Drake, their own wants attended to, resorted to Canal Street to inquire after the pig which was to play so tragic a part in the approaching festivities. That animal was resting in its coat of green and orange paint, out of which it nearly succeeded in jumping on the following day, and from the quality of its swiftness revealed later, must have been generating potential energy at the time of the final inspection. Well, the 22nd dawned on a weary crowd of Sophomores. They had been walking up and down the town and the water tower all through the night until day- break, hunting for our kind, but knowingly satisfied that we were to a large extent in bed. Dud Riggs was a noticeable rzo THE Nassau HERALD. exception to the average retiring Freshman, and a problem of interest to the class of Ninety-Six. They disliked his presence on 'Nassau street, where they were parading in force, because he was. violating not only the universal 9 o'clock Freshman rule, but the special Washington's Birthday Eve rule. 4' Better meet a bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool of the Sophomore variety. But for some time he was permitted to remain to prove the rule by the exception. When Dud finally wearied of his bravado andgave way to urgent persuasion, the rest of the class had retired to store up vitality for the events of the gymnasium. The 22nd dawned auspiciously, and we were soon making our old exercising structure tremble and resound under our uproarious conduct. Teddy Mc!-Xlpine sat before the as- semblage on the platform taking mental pictures of his speech, as parts of it would cross his optic nerve. There were others in the three chairs beside him, but he showed up well, and when the lengthy Hhorsel' play reached a place offering some sort of ingress to the Senior President's wedge or introductory speech, Teddy delivered his oration with the facility and vividness of a kinetescope. He was roundly applauded, although the noise was insignificant compared to the earlier pandemonium, especially that which greeted Albert Rosengarten when he climbed to the rafters with the Ninety-Seven banner. For that deed, too much thanks cannot be rendered. While all upstairs air was opaque with fiying cards, programs and mutual' denounce- ments, and was ever and anon being shattered by the fierce slogans and songs interchanged between Ninety-Six and ourselves, the pig, recently alluded to, which had come over to the meeting decidedly vlncog, to himself and sub rosa to the authorities, was impatiently awaiting the end of the performance. It came presently with an irresistible momentum and clashing of under-classmen. The rouged and chignoned porker was carried out on the first wave of the FRESHMAN YEAR. IZI tide, to thread his way through the devious crowd. Wliile he ran he advertized the maxirns on his variegated back to advantage, and was the lode star of all eyes, but not being totally greased, or wearying ofthe exercise, he met an im- mature fate, for Biffy Lea, securing some kind of a hold on him, let a great deal of light into the legends on his hide by emptying the numerous chambers of his revolver into it. H The least a death to naturefl The corpse was secured with infinite difficulty and borne victoriously away to its final resting place. The skin is even yet perpetu- ated in Wayne Wilson's and Net Poe's room. Since I have mentioned Net's name, it might be well to rehearse his connection with the exercises of the day. He was one of the three wrestlers who represented us vs. Ninety-Six, and his tussle with Beef Turner was memorable. They gave a more spirited bout than they were accustomed to give along with the gymnasium team's exhibition. It resulted, moreover, in a victory for Net, and left him practically beyond competition as a middle-weight. Bob Garrett made his debut as a trackman on the afternoon of this day, as did Al Tyler, in the pole vault. Tom Brown also proved himself an aerial artist on the trapeze, and helped the gymnastic team finish the day amid much applause. Witli a sigh of relief Jack Topley and the Faculty shook hands fervently on the evening of the 22nd as they re- treated to less enervating cares. The baseball men went under ground again the next day and fell upon their honorable task with increased vigor. The team suffered little change until the out-door work was begun, and then it didn't affect our men, except for the better. Witli the advent of March, Coach Terry arrived, and soon the 'Var- sity went out-doors, where the rooters were given a chance to appraise the material in a more untrammelled way. The sunlight didn't expose any glaring deficiencies to their view, and speculation immediately began on the I22 THE NAssAU HERALD. approaching Southern trip of the team during the Easter holidays. Contemporary history must mention the foun- dation of the Right Wing Club at this time, as a matter of future importance to some of us. At this time, too, E. S. Alexander, of the C. E. department, showed his versatility, which argued well for the general broadness of the C. E. course, by responding to a literary toast at the Lawrence- ville Philomathean Society banquet at Trenton. The Princezfonicm notified us now of the .departure of Baird and Bogue from College. Walt Harris, not to be outdone by a member of an old rival society, journeyed to Trenton to represent the Alumni of the Calliopean Society Qas the editorial we, perhapsji The main feature of Easter week being undoubtedly its vacation aspect, we all found ourselves negotiating deals with our allowance of cuts, with a view to extending the freedom as long as possible. There have always been cut economists and financiers of pensums as well as libertines and prodigals of the Faculty's gratuities or legal tender to the student among our number. H. A. Norris or T. H. Nichols are exponents of the former class, while Henny Low is sufficient to offset them both and exemplify the second class. Although Easter was very early in our Freshman year, many of us were before it. ,Some of the Southerners, including Alex Neill, Bob Wilkiiis, Paul Hurst, Gus Hopper, Billy Church, Net Poe and Dave Craig, who lived directly on the route of travel marked out for the ball team, felt they must precede it and prepare the way in the minds of their home friends for a decisive victory. At least such an nnsehish line of feeling tallies well with the record established by the team. ,Another class left early because it was one of their principles to do so, relying on past tradition or providential interference to give them immunity from the consequences. Eph Williams, away two-thirds of the term, heads this division, closely FRESHMANW YEAR. I 2 3 imitated by Hollister Qwho always goes away when Gilles- pie sets the examplej, Frank Curtis and Rob Pitcairn, jr. There is but small satisfaction in remaining in Princeton when the subjects of this history are all elsewhere. So to conjure a little Homeric speed into its lines, it will be best to pass over the chasm of time which then elapsed as a trifling thing, and imagine everyone again hard at work. Indeed, there is reason to believe that most of the fellows had such hermoso experiences at Atlantic City, or tramping around the pancake region of jersey, or on their home stamping grounds, as to be oblivious to the flight of time. On returning, one of the most catchy head lines ever 'designed by the College Daily was displayed, inviting Freshmen to attend the coming Junior Prom. This would seem to foster the theory that, like Mr. Heaphy in the story, we too were laboring under a misunderstanding as to the exclusiveness of this function. Yet, when Lugs Masson, Shad Roe, Porky Reeves, Freddy Sturgis, Jarvey Geer, Brude Dickenson, and perhaps a few more select- men, purchased admission-to-the-Hoor tickets, it was with a comfortable assurance that they were representing their class, and ought to have the numerals about them. In the light of future developments, it is safe to say that only a Whig Hall debate kept Bob Sterling away from the scene of action. It may not have been at this particular dance that the interesting little piece of naivete occurred, but it will serve just as well to illustrate the inevitable disinte- gration of all conventional restraint which attends jarvey Geer's checkered conquests. Toward the zenith of the festivities, we may conceive of jarvey, under the mellow haze of the draperies, drawing out, as with a windlass, confidences and confessions from the deep well of some maiden's heart. She has been lured away from the side of a young Professor, no doubt, or, at least a Senior, and now thrilled through and through by the dark lights 124 THE Nassau HERALD. in jarvey's eyes, giveshappy expression to their fascination in the remark, Oh, Mr. Greer, your eyes look just like black velvet patches. This was so favorably received, and contains so strong an element of truth, that it has been enrolled as a decidedly stock and distinguishing characteristic of jarvey. .Meanwhile, Baldy Wilson had the choice of the Freshman ball nine for permanent cap- tain, and under his direction animated practices were held with the 'Varsity for mutual benefit. The 'Varsity 1nay have gained more than we did in these contests, which is as it should be, but, at any rate, we helped to make an excellent team out of them. There was one stiff battle the day before the Lafayette game, in which the bird of victory almost fell off the'Varsity perch, and in which we scored several more hits and less errors than our opponents. Baldy was in the box and beginning to pave the way for his coming repute with a deep layer of sand. Fred Smith may now be said to be in the ascendant, as were others of the Freshman nine at this time. There was, and is, a man in our midst, however, who is never content to watch legitimate uprisings. He is preferably the fuse itself, as well as the exploding stars and the burned-out stick. Nor are his uprisings unquestionably advantageous or legitimate. It happened when the voice of the turtle was being heard, if anywhere, in the canal swamp, and the fellows were resuscitating their last year's duck trousers, and bending their old straw hats into an approach to the horizontal position, it happened, that is to say, on one of these serene Spring evenings, during which the fellows find it almost impossible to go indoors, and loaf around hoping for a dog fight on Nassau street or a song on the steps. The commotion, which was not a dog fight, but arose on Nassau street, was caused by the precipitation of one of the police force into a barrel of potatoes. The origin of the trouble was simple enough, being merely FRESHMAN YEAR. I 2 5 unwarranted assertiveness on the part of the one-third of the police force on the one side, and just and speedy retri- bution on the part of the offendant on the other. The origin would have been the ending, undoubtedly, had not Burton R. Miller happened to observe it at this juncture. The rolling potatoes and 'I Cop arrested his attention from what he was doing- the is always doing somethingj. Quick as inspiration he had emptied his water pitcher on the prone Cop, and from his eyrie on the second tloor, inaugurated the tumult which lasted for an hour, and almost arrayed the town and gown against each other. Having once watered the seeds of discontent, he faltered not until he had raised a full grown cactus. Then feeding the census bellvl from time to time, as each side required -it, or pointing out to Leonard or Nate Smyser some case of especially ingrained hatred, the hour of tumult and excitement passed as pleasantly as the punch at Dohm's. But there is real merit to be noticed. The Spring at Princeton is not all trivial. Wlien Howard Brokaw, Leland, Al Graver, Bandy Derr, Bob Garrett, Tyler and the Jamison boys, not to mention others, consulted the record-made by the Princeton track team in recent years, they easily perceived that there was room upon it for them. So at various times during the Spring, acquisitions were made to the track team. Brokaw and Leland were taken to the training table toward the end of April, in fact, on the very day before the arrival of Hunting's Railroad Show, Circus, Menagerie and Museum. There is nothing significant in the proximity of the two dates and events, except that the shell game feature of the side show, at which Broke is so 'expert too, naturally makes one asso- ciate them together. The posters announced a grand street parade at ro olclock. Thus it was, that when about half after ten the strident, quavering din of the steam pianos was heard coming up Witherspooii street, the unoccupied 126 THE NAssAU HERALD. portion ofthe college, thelarge leisure class, hastened to meet it. The reception we gave the troupe was demonstrative. Hats were waved Qmostly those borrowed from the circus peoplej, the band wagons were scaled and the bands in- creased, the calliopes wereitouched off for everything but Old Nassau, and finally the clown, his carriage and pony were separated. Whe11 shall we three meet again l The carriage was carted high on the shoulders of the crowd through the campus gate and into the sacred pre- cincts. As various councils would prevail, it would point now toward Reunion, now toward the cannon or Murray Hall. The love of the unusual and great -effect at length caused its removal to Dod Hall, and thence up the square staircase to the top. The sheer drop of the carriage a hundred feet to the cellar had been planned as a grand finale. It was fortunate for the circus management, as well as for ourselves, that at this crisis, as the respected Dean convinced us, he was able to frustrate the scheme. At the show proper, merriment was not lacking. We were still considered minors in the college estimation, and hence too fresh to be unduly hilarious. Yet, although seen and not heard, we managed to be more interested than the majority of upper classmen. It was not so new to them. They had seen the man jump from the hundred-foot ladder before. They knew the sword swallower's name, and had purchased the snake charmer's photographs. A Our insatiety was sufficient excuse for our curiosity or ignor- ance. Jude Taylor. is one of those who require some such excuse. Standing before the booth of the mind-reader, against a back-ground of Hitzrot and Percy Willianis, so absorbed in the performance did he become as several times to jog the memory of the performer with. a stick. This becoming monotonous, and perchance less - helpful than might be. supposed, at her instigation the explanatory showman advanced upon jude with menacing gestures. FRESHMAN YEAR. I 2 7 Then it was that Hitz emerging from the back-ground so startled the poor man by his ferocious appearance, 12. e., the bright rosy color of his cheeks, that he retired with- out parley. Jude and his supporters then proceeded to the next exhibitor's platform, where John Reilly, or Long John, was standing by request of the fellows only, beside a man with a silk hat, the Caucasian giant, whom he threw completely into the shade, hat and all. Such were the pleasantries which evinced our interest in the show business. That night the poor Hhey Rubesl' repaid us in more than our own coin by the unearthly screeching of their locomotive, the paudemonium of their packing up, and the lateness of their final departure. The first concert of the season, by the Freshman musical organizations, was given at Lawrenceville, on the 27th. ,This has been a customary curtain-raise for the clubs in the past, and was useful to us for the same purpose. It was the prelude to a rich experience at the different towns chosen by the able manager, Nate Smyser. What a fatality that Smyser, manager of the musical clubs, should later come to room with Harry Mattison, manager of the baseball team. They have since taken many an oppor- tunity to compare their notes. The musical club tales, which are authentic, far surpass any that Harry can conjure up with all his acquaintance with tradition. At Lawrenceville, Karl George was second to none in the quality of the hits he made as a soloist. Wayne Wilson was good vocally, when he finally adjusted the guitar to his voice, as was likewise Jude Taylor, when his attendant trio could locate him on the scale. Hardly any matters of importance were transacted at the close of our first April in college. To be sure the 'Varsity had beaten Penn and Lafayette, and in the 'former case had been accused of rowdyism after the game, in which, per- haps, there wereone or two of us implicated. Knox, the 128 THE NASSAU HERALD. hatter, succeeded in suiting the exacting taste, of our Cap Committee, and was rewarded with the contract for our head-gear. Those caps a visitor would pronounce very durable, for a great many may still be found in our rooms, yet the reason, as we all know so well, is beyond Knox, and inscribed on the statutes of the place. The budding month of May is nowhere ruddier or more fragrant than in Princeton and its campus. There is a spirit of change abroad. While the grass is growing greener every moment, and the skies more blue and balmy, and nature waking up to full life, the student, Sophomore soon to be- Sophomore or Senior, wh oever he be-is growing in inverse proportion every day less green and less lively. Happily, the first week of our iirst May being devoted to holiday stunts, allowed the largest largess of lassitude. The Senior Assembly occurred on the Fourth, and in a spirit of enterprise the Triangle Club hurried up its performance of the 'tHonorable Julius Caesar, for the night of the Third as well as the night of the dance. Our fair visitors, in town for the dance, were thus enabled to get a line on our work by way of comparison with kindred organisms in other places. The whole play was excellently portrayed, and each feature repeatedly encored. McCartney, who represented Ninety-Seven for the main part, barring the rear-guard work of Luke Miller a11d Percy Williams, sus- tained the maligned character of Mrs. J. Calpurnia Caesar -a queen in the shrew line, daft on woman's rights and divided skirts-and earned the never rashly bestowed favor of the Princetowdan. It commented as follows: Of female parts, Mr. McCartney creditably filled the most difficult. The joy of the week was perpetuated relay fashion by aver- itable chain of amusements. Hardly had the artful dodgers of the crowded Senior dance fallen asleep to conjure up fair and very recent faces, or eyes of unholy blue, before it was time to attend the handicap games, following fast on , , FRESHMAN YEAR. 129 the great game of the early baseball season-that with Harvard. With courteous resignation they consented to our beating them rather roundly, the more so since jake Altman in the box particularly desired it, and was strongly seconded by Bede Williams as backstop. All the visitors left the grounds impressed, and sharing much of the ex- uberant joy we didn't conceal. The Pfrincetofmlcm, with patriotic conviction enough to believe we should win, had boldly taken out their extra sign poster type from its shelf and washed it in benzine, prepared to champion the team to the echo. Treating our class as a person, we had not so much cause for personal congratulation. Our smaller edition of the 'Varsity had fallen after a prolonged and nip-and-tuck struggle with our New Haven rivals. Four to three is by no means a decisive victory for the fours, so we took courage and hoped for better things. The better things came just at the time we had hoped for, but in the peirsonnel of the Yale Ninety-Seven team. They cinched their prosperous be- ginning by a score which was about twice our own, and journeyed back as muchelated as we were downcast. The chief hope of satisfaction derivative from the national game at this season was plainly in the 'Varsity. They pursued the -even tenor of their victories by presenting defeat to Lehigh and Brown. The latter was not in a receptive mood apparently, and displayed an ungraciousness or re- sentment over our victory, which length of time has rather interwoven than ravelled out. ' Meanwhile, jimmy Rhodes gave over hammer throwing and visited New Haven with the Glee Club. They had an unspealcably good time, and, no doubt, helped to unite the two Institutions in still closer bonds. The ball-game, which they had expected to witness on the following day, was post- poned on account of rain, and so the majority of the Club was forced, after all, to watch the progress of the game from r 3,0 THE N A.ssAU HERALD. the bulletin board, along with the rest of the College. This Was irksome for a great many reasons-among them, the drenchingrain. Then, too, We Were hoping against probability and the signs of the game. It was a loss, but not the only one of the month. We were destined again to succumb, and this time to the Crimson. They re- sumed the thread of discussion Where Yale left it, With equal success, and were enabled to check-mate us in the requisite nine innings. Thus on Decoration Day, Black predominated over the Orange, and the month which had early promised so lavish- ly that it could not fuill its intents, set upon a thousand or more bitter stoics and ascetics ! The end of Freshman year came upon its constituents, arrayed like Sophomores in our parti-colored regalia, and could not support the shock any longer. The success of our class in so many things made Ninety-Four decidedly easy at leaving the cares of the college. It was gained, too, during the absences, for almost the Whole time, of Bill Stewart and Prof. Libby. The former was smoking his famous mixture of rubber and tobacco for the pipe, on an island of the Atlantic, While the latter was in Hawaii, smoking out volcanoes and drumming up some more recruits for us, like the XfVaterhouse boys. ..

ELL, back came a large consignment of us on time, prepared not to begin where we had left off last June. Oh, no ! There had been a tropical growth during the heated spell. Inches of height and of chest develop- ment and general importance had been transrnuted to ells. Orange and black sweaters returned with us, showing evidence of wear and tear. We strutted around the town, and chiefly the railroad station, like real estate inspectors, or railroad officials, making much of our contempt for the newcomers and light of our inferiority to the other classes. The room-rnate hunter and eating club collectors found us unresponsive to their aerial palaces or show-case dinners. They were not for us, we had other fish to fry. I am not too previous in thinking that the barbarous custom so dear to the Sophomores was revived and put in full fling before the Dean opened up the college in Marquand Chapel, and before the parents and guardians of their unwitting sons had quitted the town. Once abandoned on the rollicking waves of Princeton, the sons had to paddle their own canoes, despite weaknesses in the pits of their respective stomachs. Our attentions were the unen- durable knock, -knock, of now a' plausible Prfmcctonicm man exhibiting a paper with the results of the last Yale-Prince- ton battle, or now a rival duet from the Tiger and Lit. One of the first unpleasantnesses which we avoided, but which goes to us by default, was the rush. It was arranged for the opening night of college. So many alumni were on the campus at the time and presumably had brothers in the entering class, that their moral suasion and presence 132 THE N AssAU HERALD. prevented the old-fashioned 1' rush and the war-like old cannon was deprived of its annual reminder of the good, stirring times of its youth. Immediately after this, Philip King arrived in town and assumed the guidance of the football squad. Those of us who were already enviably conspicuous by reason of the early possession of our horse hats, wore them down to the ,Varsity field, which is our Rotten Row, on the day after college began. It was then that the football candidates for the first time strode from the clubhouse and showed us what ability or muscle they had acquired by their summering at Quogue. It is almost useless to recall those of our class who thus ap- peared, for they were a full majority of the whole number, Tyler was there, the two Reynolds, the two Derrs, Ben Vor- hisg Dud Riggs and jimmy Rhodes, the guards, Billy Church and Net Poe, Charley Roys, Burt Qwho had fallen grace- fully into our midst from the preceding classj, jude Taylor, Harry Beam, Fred Smith, Al Rosengarten, Spud Dickey, Shy Thompson, Andy, Percy Williams and Joe Sawyer, small, but a famous punter. Practice in the early stages is best suggested by a picture of long brown grass, hundreds of loiterers flat upon it with pipes in the warm sun, brush- ing off an occasional misdirected spider, and ever sizing up the big fellows above us as they stand forth sharply against the blue sky. The passing of the football makes better music too, to a second year man than a Freshman. The latter fears, even too poignantly and truly, that some of these hearty specimens will be seeking an early acquaint- ance for class spirit purposes and needed relaxation after the hard work of the day. Sure enough, before the vesper bell on Old North had issued its warning for all Freshmen to get in doors, who were unhappy enough to be out, Albert Rosengarten was observed to pass the east side of Reunion at a gait surpassed only by the phenomenal one maintained by the pursued. After a devious course, SoPHoMoRE YEAR. 133 suggestive of uncertainty on the part of the leader, he finally bolted over the South 'Witherspoon terrace, crossed the railroad track, and was admitted to his house of refuge somewhere on University Place. Thus, although unsuc- cessful in this one instance, it merely shows the care shown by the members of Ninety-Seven in their relations to the lower class. In every way we upheld tradition and assisted the authorities to control any unruliuess natural to the new arrivals. So ethically and morally irreproach- able were we in our methods of hazing, that the sympathy of the upper classes was with us to a unit, rather than with the Freshmen. This could have been especially noticed. On a certain dark night of the early term, Luke Miller, Geo. Peck, Art. Kennedy, Rab. Forbes and Tom Ingham were indulging in some pantomine hazing for the beneht of thelower -campus and of Harry Mat, who vastly enjoyed the role of a Freshman. After enlisting very unfavorable monosyllabic criticism from the inhabitants of Dod and Edwards, which was mostly swallowed up by the noise, the primary cause of the thoughtless but sincere ejacu- lations, Mat was coralled after a stern and perspiring chase at the southern end of Edwards. Then it was that the upper-classmen in that building, recognizing immediately the merits of the case, instead of venting all their spleen on the Sophomores, besought them to lead the eponymous Freshman up to the building to receive the penalty that he deserved as one of an objectionable class. Many other circumstances at this time point, not only to the leniency, but also tothe educational and moral standard we main. tained in our hazing. So mild as well as moderate did it become, that it was thought expedient to abandon the custom altogether. Thus it was that after having indulged in this autumnal reform movement for only eight days, we were relieved from it by a thoughtful, far-seeing and 13,4 THE NASSAU HERALD. politic mass meeting of the college. At this meeting, the 28th day of September, occurred the brief but pregnant remark of Bill Reynolds, to which so much reference is constantly made. For the information of those who aim at precision in their misquotations, it will be a great satis- faction to learn that Bill took the floor on that day at seventeen minutes after twelve and resumed his seat again two and one-half minutes later. The applause following the eyes of the world is upon usl' has not died away yet. It took a breathing space at fifteen minutes to one, however, on the red-letter day of this historic writing. Bill, after being escorted home by a body-guard of syco- phants, began intriguing with a view to a position as foot- ball coach in Montana.. The reflection of the gratified feelings of the President, the Dean and the Freshmen, began to set in twenty-four hours later with the rest of the college, when the team, having lined up to the full extent, defeated Lafayette to the tune of 40-o. Robinson, of our class, took this opportunity to sever his relations with the college. Wlien the first reaction had set in after the confused bustle of the opening of college, and the Daily Prfiozcetonicm was beginning to speculate on the finishing of the Brokaw tank and imagine improbabilities for the 'Gun Club, Walter L. Main, possessor of the H Greatest and Best Show on Earth, came. He afforded unlimited relaxation to all parties, and warded off home- sickness for many a new student. The time of Main's arrival was almost simultaneous with the election of Soph- omore class officers. Now, Bulger Olcott who had learned with admiration of Hitz's successful treatment of the former visiting showman, Mr. Hunting, from his room- mate, Percy Williaiiis, began to ponder, and upon a more and more rapid recurrence of the ponderous element, so much so, indeed, as to make it a connected affair, he saw clearly that there must bea fore-ordained purpose in the recurrence SOPHOMORE YEAR. 135 of a shovvman, out of season, too, at a time when the officers of the Sophomore class were about to be chosen. The outcome of this careful consideration was the satis- factory choice of james Morley Hitzrot for President. Albert L. Tyler, or Ty, was elected to the sinecure, Vice- president, While Freddy Jessup bore up hopefully under the. double trouble of Secretary and Treasurer. Our internal affairs having been adjusted, we devoted ourselves to perfecting our ball team. The Freshmen were not the only ones who fell down before us-the Seniors did so, and so did the juniors. We found ourselves threatened with a case of Alexandrian satiety. The night before the game with the Freshmen furnished its share of entertain- ment for a band of horn-hunters under the captaincy of Bob Garrett and Bill Trainer. Teddy McAlpin was in the party, as at this time he had gained quite a local celebrity, due to his encounter with a prominent junior, around a Freshman ire. There were others in attendance such as jack De Coursey, Bob Pitcairn, Hunk Ingham, etc. The horn-hunters having lulled suspicion to sleep by remaining quietly indoors until the Witching hour, then Went out Without Waking suspicion. Having threaded a devious Way down the smoothly Worn flag-stones of Nassau street, they turned down the still more midnight street running past Evelyn. Then after a session of the leaders the company was dispatched at intervals, and two by tvvo, to the 'Varsity field, Where the search was to be made. It Was a flank approach that was designed, and it brought the hunters in through a hole in the fence -at a point now con- tiguous to the 220-straightavvay. What changes have occurred since We Were under-classmen ! As each couplet Went through the eye of the needle, they separated and spread out over the Wide expanse of dusky turf. As I have since ascertained from Jack De Coursey, and his ex- perience vvas the popular one of the band, not half the 7 136 THE NAssAU HERALD. splinters from the fence had been extracted from the several anatomies represented, before attention was aroused by some undiscovered noises. Each individual being un- certain as to the proximity of his confederates lay quietly in the underbrush outside the track, and waited for events to mature, for the disturbance was excusably conjectured to be U 'Varsity Pete, of now very dear memory, but then Shoot on Sight reputation. The noise was soon dissi- pated by the profound and pacific serenity which ensued upon the occasion of the entire body of searchers finding their proper positions for picket duty. It had been caused, let me explain, by the unsure route followed by each enter- ing picket and his ignorance of everyone else's position. The horns werenlt unearthed, in spite of the clever efforts of the skilled troupe, chiefly because they were not concealed either in the earth, under the grand stand, nor yet in the cage. They were an entirely secondary consid- eration when our team entered the diamond the next day, and did not figure in the score, which was 9-2. The next weekday Rutgers, traversed the score of miles separating us to perpetuate the custom, ancient and annual, of being our hrst victims of the season. Billy Reynolds, having abandoned the idea of coaching in Montana, had been doling out suggestions from his fund of experience to Rut- gers for the past few weeks. So it was that their material utilized whatever weight or gaminess they had to the best advantage. Several new additions to our class about this time took a very preliminary step and a goodone, from which to date their future success, by stepping into the vacancies created in Whig and Clio Hall bythe retirement of certain of the older members of the class. They were McClure, Smitham, Furbay, Hall, D. M. and F. Moore. It is a matter of trifiing moment to most Princeton men that Virginia played us a hard game, I2-O, on the 16th, that Trilby and the initial installment of Prof Sloan's x SOPHOMORE YEAR. 137 history were noticed in countless reviews, that Cornell scored four points on us, while we only scored twelve in return falthough Eph Williams has protested that he would rather be beaten twenty times by Yale, than scored on once by Cornellj, that Ninety-Seven retrieved her laurels in the cane spree, and that Howard Brokaw and Ario Pardee held the canes more securely than Ario held his State Fair pumpkin. All these were trifling matters compared to the fact that we were soon to meet our old rival, Penn, at the Trenton State Fair grounds. How we speculated on the seating capacity of the stands, and the quality of the grass on the gridiron 3 but more than all, the result, and whether the pleasure trip to the mountains of the Quaker eleven would materially affect it. The Qltger was sure it would not, but then a person or corpora- tion that always guesses one way is bound to be disappointed at the turning of the long road. Ed Shortz in professional capacity on the Tiger had observed a witticism, not only fleeting by, but seem- ingly appropriate for this time, so much so, that he was induced to light upon it and note its effect when embellished and toned up by his realistic brush. No fault could be found with the drawing, other than that its real- is1n militated against its conception, which I have observed was fleeting. The group of figures, picturesquely arranged, comprises two male figures. They do not represent Spar- tacus stepping on the throat of his friend, the gladiator Qcf Spartacus to the gladiators at Capuaj, but rather one football enthusiast compressing with contemptuous foot, in a densely nonchalant way, the neck ofthe other. Hence, the singular, local and collegiate propriety of the label : An incident of the roth, in Pennls neck? That feature was mostly lost, however, entirely so to the expect- ant circulation of the periodical for which it was intended, and Shortz will be willing to declare it to the world. 13,8 THE N AssAU HERALD. But there are those who are rightly suspicious, and Shy Thompson, who is among their number, has spent several evenings in explaining to me the slight variations which will transform the figure of Princeton into King No-Tobac, and Penn into Demon Nicotine. The sadness which the Penn game added to the already sombre-hued month of November, has seldom been duplicated. It has received no encores from this end of the line, as our class knows as well as any other. The only redeeming feature to us was, that until the game was over our financial backers and knowing ones strode around, their pockets bulging with currency and breasts rife with hope, inspiring fallacious conndence in all of us by their indomitability, so that, although we met the reverse, it came unexpectedly to both sides, and did not waste us away or our money by any premonitions. Save for the capture of several red and blue banners QGus Hopper's climb to the top of a fifty-foot pole for one of themj, and the uncontrollable wrath and excitement of certain of the Faculty, the Doxology was a veritable Dead March as we rendered it in Chapel next morning. Paul Hurst had his first stroke of semi-paralysis at this time, and those of the class who were cider drinkers saw their sorrows swimming around in brimming cups, which they vainly tried to drown. The Penn game over, we looked about us and saw that we had narrowly averted ruin in another direction, and in possibly a more harrowing form. Some company, not sanctioned by the Pennsylvania R. R. and doomed i from the cradle, had broached a scheme byiwhich the peace and repose of the town, now broken only by the annual onslaught of the circus Chariots, were to be shocked and jarred continuously by the con- stant passage of trolley cars, and a double track road at that. Old North craned her neck-like tower, a11d listened over the tops of the Elms, while the Dean and a few more college professors battled in a town meeting for old SOPHOMORE YEAR. 139 traditions and conservatism. Absolution from this calamity did not come easily, for the School of Science is reported to have secretly encouraged the Radicals. Ollie Campbell and john De Gray thought that science demanded the sacrifice, and Brude Dickinson, Alf Hamberger, Harry Kehler, Marbles Mravlag, Jack Green and Walt Seymour are responsible for that decision of the Trustees, which Lady Jayne has so tersely pictured at the end of the Ninety-' Seven BMC-a-Brac, about moving the college, minus the seminary, to Trenton if the trolley line went through Princeton. This crisis passed, like CoXeyt's army and not much faster, at this writing seems a very hazy recollection to most of us. As George Eliot has described it, K' an un- fecundated egg which the waves of time wash away into nonentityf' A much pleasanter treat was in the very near future for us. We had the pleasure of listening to Dr. A. Conan Doyle on the I 5th of the month, and of receiving im- pressions of his country and its literature. His words fell upon very tolerant ears, both among the undergraduates and Faculty, and when the latter toasted him at the dinner in his honor, later in the evening, several impressions are thought to have been received by the doctor, which have since pro- duced important results and been of suggestive value. About this time the news that our beloved Dr. McCosh was very ill was rumored about the campus, and on its being authenticated, we were, one and all, thrown into the deepest sorrow. A large part of our class had not had the opportunity to cultivate the Doctor's acquaintance, but we had instinctively come to love him, and felt the presence of his friendly bowed head and silvered locks, the greatest honor of our campus. As he walked about among us, no man was ever so attended by kindly thoughts and good wishes. We loved to arrogate to ourselves a little portion of that world-wide homage, his recognized due, and by affectionately calling him our Jimmy, H feel ourselves 140 THE NAssAU HERALD. ' sharers in the honor which he was so willing to bestow on Princeton. Our U Grand Old Man passed on to his great reward in a greater country, and we formed part of the sad procession that attended him to its earthly boundary. One of the most satisfying memories of our college course, will be that of Dr. McCosh. We were honored in being close to him for even a little time, yet a time sufficient to inspire in us the same reverence which all his students have ever felt. The busy Fall was crowded with athletics and some study of the curriculum, but more of ourselves. We had been in college long enough to understand its standards of excel- lence and decadence, and to form the habit of sizing up the small and great, to suspect feet of clay under brazen faces, but We were singularly averse to such things. Ever since the political caucus in Mr. Goldiels house in Freshman year, we had sheathed the sword and buried the hatchet. No strife of a party character or faction of opposing masses can be cited against us. So I must look with the magnifying glass for such triiles as the Leopold-Ingham fracas, or the duel between Gilmour and Bob Sterling, proved to be, although the latter threatened to assume the most formid- able proportions. This Was owing to the utter indifference displayed by Gilmour as to the instruments of death, and his carte blcmche instructions to his seconds. Had not Bob cared to live for the sake of the track and of debating with Yale and Harvard, he could have chosen the most fatal and romantic end at that time. There has been too little mention of the hne arts in this history, for which full amends shall now be made. Singing has been the forte of Princeton since the Seniors Hrst dedicated the steps of Old North to music. Perkins can well be mentioned in such a connection. You may recall him as the hero of Say Au Revoir 'P and the W'itherspoon episode. Perk never had a fair chance to sing in Freshman year because he was forbidden the steps, and Was also confined in morning 1 SOPHOMORE YEAR. I4I chapel to the restrictions of Murray Hall. However, the matin melodies which had enianated thence through half Freshman year had proved so distracting to the majority of the students gathered in Marquand Chapel, that finally a step was taken in the expedient direction, and we were transferred to the regular edihce for prayers. Perk was of course included in the deal, and a most interesting change was at once apparent in the service, fi. e., the previous breakdowns of the chapel organ, a most disturbing and constant factor, were found- to be almost reduced to a minimum. On attempting to form our hypothesis to account for this change, none was found adequate, until Poke Evans, who is musical up to a certain point, say G flat, postulated Perkins as a scientific explanation. He contended that the columns of air in Perkins' throat bore an undisputable harmonic ratio to those of the minor pipes of the chapel organ. Subsequent tests have proved the vibrations from Perkins to the instrument sympathetic, and the miraculously sustained susurrations ofthe latter were at length understood. Although the strain on Perkins' box ifnlnmzcma was insignificant, it began to tell upon the plaster of the walls and the colored' glass of the windows. On directing Perk's attention to this, he became so chagrined as to withdraw his patronage from the sacred building, since which unfortunate time the breakdowns and swoons of the organ have become habitual, diurnally recurrent in fact, while they can be detected in Reunion when Burt Miller is outof town. , 1 . No excuse for this long digression can be offered other than the old De Quincey bluff, unless it be to introduce Edwin M. Stanton, late of Harvard University, to the students of Princeton, in true Francis Wilson style. ' I cut much ice at Harvard, And Stanton is my name, And then I came to Princeton And did it, just the same. I42 THE Nassau HERALD.

Oh, yes ! He has made quite a tear here too, and endures watching very nicely. Ed was about the solitary exception not in favor of taking some small football vengeance out of Harvard, to atone for the numerical error in our score against Pennsylvania. He persistently inveighed against any such policy, recommending rather a concentralization of forces upon Yale, thus showing that a tendril or two were still undetached from fair Harvard. In fact, at -one time, when the Princetonidn was advocating a Harvard game in no uncertain tones, Ed was on the verge of joining Whig Hall, so as to have some receptacle for his eloquence on this subject. Fortunately, at this stage, began that dove-tailed infatuation for Paul Hurst, a mainstay of the Princetoniafn Board, which changed his resolution about Hall, and induced him to repose fthe only correct termj his cause in the hands of the Hurst syndicate, with the well-known success. All our forces were now being conserved for the great Manhattan Field game. The Kneissel Quartette were brought to town for the diversion of the team, as Jimmy Rhodes was so fond of music. Dud Riggs was contented, for the most part, with Net Poe's song about Hallowing the lady to ride outside if she disdained the gentleman's lap.'7 This also furnished a full wine glass of amusement for Net himself. The day of the game was loth to dawn at all. SOPHOMORE YEAR. 143 So dark and rainy was it that Art Kennedy failed to awake in time to catch the train for New York. His grief, on realizing this, was memorable and tremendous. It was partially assuaged, perhaps, by a trip to Trenton, where, on learning the score at intervals, from a seat in the front row, his expressive face grew so dark as to be unrefiective to the glare of the footlights. But what comfort was there for any of us until Christmas time? How the cold, unfettered winds of Princeton Heights sifted through our lastWinter's overcoats, or sack coats and ashes ! I remem- ber well that Rab Forbes didn't go out to Rockford that Christmas. Leon Bowne wrote a note to his uncle, Santa Claus, requesting the loan of an ulster for the balance of the cold weather. The Civil Engineers, who had left their sphere to dabble with financial matters, said some veiy un- civil things about Yale luck. Well, if our resources had been cut down a little, the holidays had not. Most of us left this historic stage, the stock company being dissolved for the time, and starred around for a fortnight in the outlying districts. Here our asbestos curtain appro- priately falls. Teddy Balkan and Rab Forbes have become famed for their successful representation, during the Christmas time, of that scene in the Yale yarns where one fellow slanders an- other to a fair clebruttmii claiming that the other fellow walks with his hands in his pockets, to pull the strings by which his cork legs are manipulated. Balkan was the supposed cripple in this case, but he brought up his average later in the evening by several opportune scoops of Rab, while that unhappy one was off his guard. We didn't yet have enough representatives on the musical organization to warrant the despatching of a special reporter to note their operations. They fared well enough, and were of the unanimous opinion that such a sporting life was checkered but never dull. Luke Miller, in retrospecting the success of the trip, wondered at 144 THE Nassau H ERALD. H the simple elements which constitute the pleasures of the young. There is nothing congenial to relate about our return, unless it be the prevalence of solicitous inquiries about the recent vacation. Chiefly were we employed in stacking our colossal washes into only fair-sized receptacles, as a new year's surprise to our laundresses. Lady Jayne informed us that he had lived in a dress suit for two weeks while away. Inky Harrold came back a day or two over- due, as he had the distance from Savannah to traverse by sea. As soon as he had regained his land legs, entertain- ing stories of duck shooting were disseminated broadcast, making Geo. Howe, who is another Southerner, think that his head was still at sea. There is one story George believes credible. Witliorit using the proper onamatapoetic words, or those particularly euphonious on a Southern lip, as it should be told, it seems that along with Doc Jamison, who was visiting him during the holidays, Harrold set out in the gray dawn for a popat some grouse. In the semi-light, Doc. observed Inky hastily aim his gun at a fluffy object in a nearby tree. The report which followed could have been confirmed by a deaf Episcopalian rector, but the object never stirred. Could the aim have been un- true? Harrold apparently admitted his fallibility, for the second time the gun was adjusted to his shoulder, and the trigger was touched. A cloudy penumbra rained around the dark object, and particles of it flew like pin wheels, but for all that it maintained its perch on the tree. Goaded to desperation and mortiiication by ,this time, the gunner climbed the tree, determined to have it out in close quarters. He would have had it out, had it not been gray moss with clinging suckers which played him for a sucker, and had not Doc., yelling around in hysterical mirth, required his atten- tion. The story can be told on Doc just as well, however, as on Harrold himself. Indeed, the changes are often rung on it and the truth wrung out of it. Were it not for just such SoPHoMoRE YEAR. r45 stories as these, our mid-year exams. would have been insufferable, despite the fact that we were led gradually up to them by a series of, Hrst, the Chess Tournament 5 second, the Very Rev. S. Reynolds Hole's lectures on 'A My Famous Friends, third, the Baird Prize Contest, and fourth, and pre-eminently, the day of prayer for colleges. We looked upon this last in a purely subjective light and trusted to its efficaciousness. Now came on the test days, which we think the saddest of all the year. The days on which our poller friends like to come calling on us to invite us to take a cross-country run, or to tell us how many half-hours they spent on the morrow's subject. May St. Belcher have mercy on their souls I It is only our weak, job-like con- dition which impedes their sudden annihilation. If there is one time more than another which makes us distrustful of each other, it is Sophomore year mid-year exams. This paragraph might develop into a prosecution of the whole examination system, but it won't, just because exams. are too vitally intertwined with our Honor System. The relation of the two resembles the quality of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Let both grow together until the harvest, etc, and then the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty can decide the matter. The schedule days happily over, we shook ourselves heartily, stretched ourselves and looked about us to see if our roll-call was complete, or how many additions from the upper class we had received, or how much we must deduct from our number. February began far from the popular taste, but soon changed, and afforded us one un- interrupted jolly until the close.' The Junior Prom. lit the fuse which was attached to Who,s Who of the Triangle Club, as well as Washington's Birthday, and the gym contest with Yale. The Junior Prom was quite the gZas6 affair, as usual. Those of us who eschewed such gaieties took special delight in kicking the football on the sf 146 THE NAssAU HERALD. campus, clad in our loudest neglige attire, just- to exasper- ate our friends with girls. They didnlt exasperate well at all, for the girls are prone to consider it typical and the pro- per thing. Bill Stewart and Art Hagemeyer attended this function and helped to increase the four hundred per cent- age of our number. The old stand-bys reported, of course. Speaking of the old gym, and then comparing it as a dancing pavilion with the present commodious casino, reminds me of an incident of about this time. George Peck could relate it better than I, if he could smother his hilarity long enough. But he, alas, has evacuated Princeton, and fallen back on Cornell. Dal Schoonmaker was his room- mate, and one winterls evening there was a knock on the door, speedily recognised by Dal. A Freshman and Sopho- more entered and were welcomed with the christian kind- ness which Dal reels oh' by the yard. The elder iinpostor of the two, for they were both such, foisted a long calamity harangue upon the sympathetic Dal, whom ever and anon the spirit of college patriotism reduced to his handkerchief. The crying heed for a new gym was glowingly depicted to him, the general apathy on the subject lamented, the moral and intellectual degradation consequent upon such an antique pile was fully discussed, until Hnally, whipping out his check book, with an interest worthy a better cause, he drew upon it. On inquiring among his contemporaries the next day, nothing had been heard of a new gym but not until the check appeared fastened to the wall of his Eating Club, did Schoony realize how abjectly he had been euchred. At the presentation of Whols Wliol' on VVashington's birthday eve, class dis- tinctions were more nicely drawn than since the abolition of hazing. The Freshman class stayed resolutely away. VVe never molested them coming from Murray Hall. No, but this was a brighter-hued horse and of a different color, and it was the traditional night of terror, so, although the SOPHOMORE YEAR. 147 audience was good, and the debt lifted from the enterpris- ing Triangle Club, yet the Freshman kept away. The exercises of the 22nd of February opened in Alexander Hall, with the Class of Seventy-Six Prize Debate. This was deftly won by Bob Sterling of our class, from a field composed, with one exception, of upper classmen, as usual. Such a fine beginning was not lost upon Lady Jayne, who was our exponent within the crowded and tumultuous gym. He spoke feelingly on the subject of 4' Earthly Immortality, and made a deep impression. Some glimpses of his coming greatness, which, if he doesn't mention in his Presentation Speech I shall be glad to advertise for him, no doubt prompted this subject. Pip Wheeler opened up the athletic events in the afternoon by pinning the shoulders of his light-weight wrestling oppon- ent to the mat in about three minutes. Ty then explained the use of the pole in vaulting, with illustrations, ending by breaking the Princeton indoor record. Net Poe, who had not been in view up to this time, stepped forth as the middle-weight challenger. His opponent made an excel- lent foil for him, showing him off to advantage both before, during and after the bout. Net of course won, and so did Dud Riggs, entered for the heavy-weight, although by default. Baltimore showed up hnely in these last two events. The day passed satisfactorily to all, and must have reflected credit upon its great namesake by its variety of accomplishments. The Prfincatonicm applauded its good order. The Freshman, although practically neophytes at the festival, were not treated badly by us, as Wasliington treated the Hessians, a few miles off and years previously. We all retired, entertaining pleasant wishes for Father George, until his next birthday. Tom Brown and Ban Derr duplicated their good gym work of the 22nd at a contest with Yale on the 29th. The whole Princeton team was commended on 148 THE NAssAU HERALD. the quality of their work. The baseball candidates had suffered one weeding out by this tiirie, and the process of natural selection was still making the cage fairly hum. Besides the large company of us who had aspired to the last yearls team were Brokaw, Buck Thompson, Pardee and also Von Krug, whom we all miss so much now. He helped us win more than one ball game, and was a staunch upholder of his class honor in every way. A Hockey Club, with dues and officers, sprang up like the bean stock in about one night, and vanished as quickly. It seems to have been designed for just one purpose: to defeat the Baltimore Club, and in this it was successful. Chet Derr and Reddy Robb were the only Ninety-Seven men on it. If Chet had remained longer in college, and had the same enthusiasm for the game that Reddy Robb has shown, we might have frozen the 'Brokaw tank over and practised there all Spring. After a vast deal of competition, the following list of Ninety-Seven men was announced by Prof Westcott as constituting his Honor Class for the second term. Some of them object to the name of poller now, Elliott, Frame, Keener, McLaughlin, B. Miller, Norris, Patterson, Pierson and Wilson. Patterson is a very distinguished Latin scholar, as well as poet, so it is not remarkable that he should translate some of his Latin metres into parallel English verse. He subjected a certain amorous ode of Horace to this treat- ment, and was loudly applauded by Prof. West, who recommended it to Prof. Wescott's notice. Prof. Wescott read it with satisfaction, and after making a few slight changes, advised Patterson to submit it to Prof. Perry's judgment. Prof. Perry rehearsed it critically and conceded it to be very fair. He offered a slight suggestion or two as an improvement, and then advised Patterson to allow the Lit to publish it. Austin conveyed it to the Lit Board SOPHOMORE YEAR. 149 with tickling sensations of pleasure and no small con- fidence. After a week or two it was returned, not because lacking merit, but sufficient merit for the Ifit. The un- answerable problem ever since has been, On whom is the manifest roast, the Lit, the professors, or Austin? No- body knows, who will tell? A Camera Club was incorporated during the middle of the month to meet a recognized evil. It was as much a protective measure for the college at large, as a Benefit Association for its members, and was intended to form a middle wall of partition between the operators andbtheir prey. John Reilly, N inety-Seven, obtained an important office, as his height had always made the services of a swing-back superfluous in this altitude work. He is Well known to the college as the author of an essay on the l'Commercial Value of a Photographf' also a treatise now used as a school of science text-book, entitled, Reilly on Exposure in the Dark Room and in the Toning Bath. Ed Axson has been the admitted authority of the club on the H Feminine Flash-light ever since 'the begin- ning of this restrictive club. It was restricted to 147 members in the preliminary balloting. Space forbids a recital of Linton Harkness, researches with the X-rays in photo- graphy in connection with the study of anatomy. For two years now he has been indefatigable in his examina- tions of Babe Hill for traces of an underlying skeleton. If Babe will consent to return for a P. G. course, Linton hopes to establish his hypothesis. The Camera Club for a time detracted from the Harvard debate, which was imminent. But as the day drew near for the arrival of debaters, lights were constantly showing forth from the marble halls across the dark quadrangle, and impressive voices were audible from the sacred precincts. As the luxurious special car bearing the Harvard representatives glided into the station at Princeton, the excitement of the CC 150 THE NAssAU HERALD. vast crowd of students was uncontrollable. Sfongs con- trived by Beecher in honor of their safe advent were chanted as the long procession wound along to the 'Var- sity clubhouse. After a hasty salt rub, our guests were conveyed in a covered bus to Alexander Hall, where they were cheered to the echo by the enthusiastic audience. A few moments later, our team ran onto the amphitheatre- like platform, and on being questioned by an Alumni P'l'1i7'1,C6tO7'L'fC67?, reporter, gave assurance of feeling in the pink of condition. The contestants sat facing each other upon opposite sides of the ring, with Dr. Patton in the centre as announcer. At the calling of the name of the first speaker, he arose and began, after merely glancing in the direction of the opposition. The brief time con- sumed in listening to this brilliant interchange of wit which followed, of acute mental parry and thrust and telling rebuttal, was unmarred by any unpleasantness until the decision came. Yet, that had been patiently expected, for Bill Ramsey, who has a local celebrity as a higher critic, showed intense apprehension when one of the Princeton team, during the second round, pointing to the Crimson trio, remarked, the scum of the earth is here. His apprehension was indeed deeply grounded, for the Harvard team had dinner on us later in the evening, and numerous bills of exchange were cashed in at the Cambridge end of the telegraph. 5 Princeton went rapidly to the dogs as the month slipped away, especially to the dogs of war, kennelled at Kingston, under the master of hounds, Prof. Carcioiini. The energetic Prof. had arranged a program which catered to a highly seasoned, sportsman-like taste. It was to consist of mills between the promising buds of his recent cultivation. But for the nipping of these buds by the Faculty Committee on Sports, no one can say just what might have come about. The Prof. hadeven created a SOPHOMORE YEAR. 1 5 r class for pugilistically-minded Seminoles, which was only frustrated by the early recurrence of their final exams. The names of the prominent collegians of our class who thronged the barn and tried their best to stimulate the trance-like principals, are enrolled in Ino. Topley's book. I refer you to his list. On the 28th of the month the Princezfonicm tapped the following men on the back for election to their board : Harry Beam, Gus Hopper, Freddy Jessup and Bob Wilkins. March having thus done the honorable thing and gone out like a lion, gave way to hckle April. Its first week was ushered in auspiciously to us, though questionably so to the Franklin and Marshall baseball team. After an unrelenting cannonading of two hours or more, during which several balls were mashed into pulp, and the bats seemed made of papieo' macha, the ninth inning arrived just in time to save the score-keeper from resorting to higher mathematics. Twenty-four to four represents the damage to the visitors, and Union fared little better for being a day or two later, and proportionately not so well. Many wise- acres explained these early walk-overs by giving half the credit of them to a new organization answering to the name Consolidated. Yet, in following the records of this new formation, the sequence of narrow escapes and small margins in Preparatory School games is disenchanting. They had not more than two or three Ninety-Seven men in their number, the preference of the class being with the 'Varsity every time. There is a man of us who trifled with the baseball authorities during this Spring in such a way as to deserve mention, if not opprobrium. He is the same Reilly of the Camera Club. Relying upon the fact that Ninety-Seven had a famous reputation for producing pitchers, he essayed to pawn himself off as such. His frame-work is admirably adapted for such pursuit, re- sembling that of some noted college twirlers, Boswell of I52 ' THE NAssAU HERALD. Penn, or Carter of Yale, for instance. His name appeared on the 'Varsity B wlletfin for quite a time, and the Prince- tonicm gave quite a dissertation on his speed and lack of control. But the day for breaking training came, and John has since retired to private life and science. The first defeat of the season came from the New York Leaguers. Then Boston completely unlimbered herself on our diamond and departed content. Baltimore dupli- cated the same performance twice, and it was not until Baldy Wilson and Jake encountered Georgetown on the Easter trip that the chain of defeat was broken. Bede Williams was all this time catching a very exceptional game, and keeping up the Princeton record in that par- ticular. On returning to the home grounds, State College gave us a run for our money, and elicited ten innings of our time, and a deciding home run. On the 22l1Cl a num- ber of us were installed members of the upper class clubs, and waved our hands at the demon, indigestion, in antici- pation. It was on the 23rd, that Henny Barclay, Frank Curtis, Sam Clay and others, who had early acquired the habit of resting between meals on the steps of Hawkin's drug store or the Vienna Cafe, were startled to see a troupe of flying apparitions scorching down Nassau street. The clanking bicycles, the solid envelopes of dust, the hastily, smothered ejaculation, as one or another would be pocketed, the waving of coat-tails held down by no medi- cine flask, proclaimed them Seminoles, and the occasion, a Seminary Bicycle Race. On, on they sped, till the distance and dust concealed them. Not half an hour elapsed, however, till the leaders again hove in sight, snorting like the junction engine and pursuing as snake-like a course. But there was a prize at the finish line, in fact three. Lady Jayne enumerates them as follows: First prize, Pocket Flask, second, Sweet Caporal Cigarettes, third, Bottle of Hair Restorer. Sopnoivroizn YEAR. 153 The Princetonian had been reporting many things about us throughout this month, but as they were in the U Here and There column, they were mostly sicknesses or sepa- rations from college notes, or a compound of both. Teddy McAlpin spent this month in Aiken, S. C., Billy Church and Van Cleaf, in the Infirmary, Chet Derr said good- bye to us, and depa.rted for Europe in the early part of it. H Come, gentle Spring, ethereal mildness, come, did not have to be urged, and with the advent of its fairest daughter, May, we began to think of many future things. Whether to throw up our room in University Hall and go into drawings, or not, whether to attend the Senior dance, whether to stay to Commencement, but mostly, our thoughts raved into the nearby vacation. The college life we all loved so well was, after all, not to be an end in itseli but a stepping-stone. While alternating clouds and sky would show off the ancient elms to best advantage as we lay on our backs under them, we would project our minds into the summer and think of the respect coming to us as juniors of Princeton. Vanity is bound up in the heart of a Sophomore. The view-point of Sophomore year is surely unwarranted pride, and its proper sphere would be a desert island, had not the college some need of its constituents, and faith in future developments. The hnal exams. were not so remote as our inactivity would intimate, and a more pleasant distur- ber of our serenity came first and in the form of the Open Handicap Games. Pnandy Derr, Herb. Jamison, Ty and Bob Weber won first places for Princeton in them, while Jimmy Rhodes broke the Princeton record in throwing the hammer- These games were speedily followed by the Caledonian, which proved remarkably interesting, as Ty broke his own and the college record in the pole vault, and jimmy Rhodes, his recent hammer throw. We came out in the van of the other classes with a total of 415 out r 54 THE N AssAU HERALD. a possible Q3 points. The high success with the debate with Yale quite pacified the old historic halls, and wiped away the Harvard defeat. The advent of the Wyomiiig Wild West show on the 7th wasiproductive of much entertainment to all of us. jimmy Clark contracted a life-long friendship for the head of the show, Mr. Buck Taylor, being probably attracted by the latter's equestrian skill and generous parts. The Faust Club should long remember Buck as a boon guest and hearty comrade. The impression he left will be a pleasant one, although it is not rendered indelible by the usual host of keepsakes. Buck once gone, we consulted our calendars, and found that the Seminary, inadjustable to Wild West shows and dances, had held a hasty Commencement, and dissembled prior to such worldly innovations. Little more remained for us as Sophomores, except to pack our trunks, and preserve ourselves for another year of life andpenjoyment under the Princeton Elms. Those may be counted on one's fingers, as follows: YVinning the ball series from Harvard and losing to Yale, trouncing the other colleges in the Inter-Collegiate Shoot, defeating Columbia in the dual games, and Commencement. Individual mention must be made of H. F. Stockwell in Clio Hall debating, as winning the Sophomore year debate. His was a fine conclusion to the first year of the college course. Bob :Garrett was also showing that aptitude for the track which has made him the best track athlete in our midst. Commencement was not for us in Sophomore year. Gur protraction of time in the dear old place was only to satisfy a little curiosity, or gain time for packing. A Sophomore hardly appreciates the signifi- cance of all the caps and gowns, the hosts of maids and their mothers, making the front campus seem a Rosa- mund's bower, while the band transforms it into a beer garden. SOPHOMORE YEAR. I 5 5 There is only one idyl of Commencement Week, and that is the sad-eyed Senior. We bid him a hasty adieu, and heartily Wring our c1assmate's hands, as We step on the moving train and scatter for the summer: 'K We few, We happy few, We band of brothers. 156 THE NAssAU HERALD. JUNIOR YEAR. VVhat is it but a rnap of busy life ' It's fluctuations, and its vast concerns? With very moderate haste. This is the ablative of descrip- tion applicable to our return to the classic walks. Not that reluctance exerted a restraining influence. No, not that, for did we not have several congenial preliminaries to perform? There was the H rushfl which must, in college etiquette, be christened by the Junior class, and everyone knows that it is the real beginning of the college year. Pard, Net Poe, Rosie and Scovie Van Nest excused themselves from their Summer entanglements, ostensibly to attend this function. Many others of us came back as defendants to pave the way for the recital of Summer idiosyncrasies sure to follow close after us, although few could rise to heights of imagi- nation necessary to receive the tall stories current regarding the foreign experiences of certain of us. Teddy or Coxey McAlpin had been Hitting from one foreign' power to another during the vacation months. No' offense had been taken by the tolerant natives through whom he passed until he materialized in a certain village of Norway. VVhile his companion was wrangling with a rnulish cabman regarding a clause of the golden rule, Teddy was blissfully preoccupied with the contents of an old curiosity shop, tempting that faculty of his which corresponds to cupidity in most people, with perchance a boat-hook or rusty dagger. Finally, his choice having been made, he came into the open sunlight with a long, jagged sword. The debate with the driver was still in progress, which inspired our luckless Sing Q not Boomj but Sing Singer to try a little Clio Hall persuasion. He performed the opening snatch JUNIOR YEAR. 1 57 gesture, sword in hand, several times, until the cabby, becoming nervous, retaliated with a crippling blow upon the sword arm. The weapon sachetting on its time- honored nicks and deficiencies, iluttered to the pavement. Teddy was unnerved, for he was traveling to benefit his impaired health. The town could not support a patrol wagon, but the cab served as a pro tem. affair nicely, and Coxey was exempted from further fare while he inspected the police quarters and the law courts. He claims that the additional ride compensated for the excess in charge, but only regrets that his impaired health prevented him from accepting the latter of those two demands upon his time or money, which the judge repeated in Norwegian, ten dollars, or ten days. Coxey did not return to college immediately. He desired more time in which to react from his experiences. His faith must be founded on something more than race' prejudice, else a second foreign entanglement might possibly have cloyed. But it did not, and Ted, as he leaned over the railing and watched Genoa disappear, remarked Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps 'twill cost a sigh, a tear. It happened to be a salt tear which rolled overboard. Bill Stewart was abroad the same Summer and had more trying experiences still. Some of them contained food for reflection, which he hastily swallowed. These were the breaks One of the most irreparable of these took place on his tour on a train between Berne and Geneva. A woman unobtrusive, except for a set of French manners, a pair of golf clubs, and a French newspaper, at least Bill thought it was a French newspaper, for a large typed 'K Paris met his introductory glances, sat in one corner, Bill and his tramping companion in another. Bill, reasoning from the French chicness and newspaper, mentally assigned the lady to the French race and divested himself 158 THE NAssAU HERALD. of any restraint which his conversation might have had, could she have understood it. The talk, at first desultory, became animated and sporadic, and sufficiently personal to deal with the French lady, her mental, physical and spiritual accomplishments. These were impartially viewed from the standpoints of dialetical dogmatism, transcen- dental idealism and categorical Americanism. The dis- membered object of this exhaustive diagnosis soon had occasion to use the least dissected remnants of her anatomy in turning over the Paris newspaper. When the 'supple- mentary knowledge conveyed by the full heading HPCWLS Herald 7' had soaked well in, perhaps the imaginative reader may conceive of the next view-point on the part of the walking party, as subjective vacuity or the imbecilic imperative. Bill recovering first, and noting the durability of his friends coma, so far improved the time with the lady as to have progressed beyond golf by the time he awaked. The rush was successfully manipulated, and no one of us suspended. john Reilly was the only man whom the Faculty threatened, and he had only ventured into the mess to get a bird's-eye view of it. The Inter-class ball games this Fall were, perhaps, a trifle more interesting to us than formerly, because we were compelled to play a tie-off with Ninety-Six for the championship. The result of the second game was not long lin doubt after- jalce's home-run and the first inning. Hong J. W. Griggs about this time decided to run for Governor, and the better to feel the public pulse and how VV alter Harris, Nebo Ker- shaw and jim McClure were affected toward him, came to Princeton. As he was running a strong risk of becom- ing ex-oljicio President of the Board of Trustees of the College, much attention was shown him while here. A mass meeting was held in University Hall, at which jake, one of Prof. Libbey's aides-de-camp, figured on the Reception Committee. Robert Lee Hallett was there, as JUNIOR YEAR. 159 he is a bigoted re-publican, and thought that it might encourage the republican candidate to know that he could count on a vote from an inhabitant of the doubtful State of Delaware. So, after speaking encouragingly to the sen- ator and assuring him of his support, he withdrew to antag- onize a Sophomore friend, who is of 'the opposite political persuasion. The outcome of this raillery, as Robert should have known, was a treaty binding upon both and forbid- ding either one to poll at the approaching election. Hallett, perchance, having been equivocating with the ambiguity which the word poll represents, fractured the compact on election day by casting his vote. He has lived to repent his depravity, for it was only in last November that, waving a triumphant adieu to Edwards Hall, he traveled rapidly to Delaware. His vote was needed there, whereas, in Princeton, it would be practically nil. Cheered by this thought, which was reinforced by the mental image of his friend in Princeton, he hummed several campaign songs in a high tenor hum. On arriving at Milford, picture his rapid revulsion of feeling on receiv- ingathe following telegraphic facer: 'K Robert Lee Hallett is ineligible to vote in Delaware. Registered at Princeton. Collect. The Mayor only cautioned him this time, but, oh, the disgrace of it ! I think that is the reason for his return via Baltimore and the Ericsson Line, which consumes only about two days in scorching by water to Philadelphia. What will not impure politics wreak upon us next? There were a number of important men about the campus during the rainy days of the Fall. They were more secretive than a gland, and their number increased every day. Some say the Athens team itself darkly hinted at mysteries ofthe near future, and some say that it was the Princetonifm Board. At any rate, Harry Beam and Norm Reeves knew about the prospective Haiyard game before even Andy, and Bob Wilkins, while riding down Nassau street at dusk, 160 THE NAssAU HERALD. had seen track men sprinting their hearts out. Hence , the Olympic Games were revived, and we could do no less than be represented. That is what Bob Garrett said as he discussed the matter with the Athenian agent. So Herb Jamison, Ty and Francis Lane, and Bob elected Greek conversational classes and cultivated a taste for dates and figs. Meanwhile, the rest of the college attended strictly to college duties. The constant noise generated by aspirants for the Lit was sufficient to guide visitors from the station to the campus, we are told. Arthur Leonard and a few others didn't have to half try for it, writing came so natural to them. I well recall a large likeness of Lennie, made by a prominent artist, representing him as the genius of letters bestride a pen, while the atmosphere is positively clogged with verse and poetic imagery. It is utterly no effort for him to write, but permit me to allude to him again in a more involved literary plexus. There are men who never made the Lit, yet should be commended for literary ability. Hervey Studdiford is one of these. Some admirer has aptly said foh, no, it was not a girlj, his very face ,is a debate. Yet he has not entered largely into the field of disputation, not having enjoyed many Hall advantages. Beside his popular contributions in lighter vein, such as UA Sequel to ' Larry Turn the Crank,' he is especially remembered for his treatise on ff The Origin, Growth and Development of Syllabi- Carl Kershaw or Nebo could never quite bring himself to write for the Lit, although he has confided to a near friend that such expressions as Hunutterable void, ff streaming gales, or the lowering element scowls o' er the darlcen'd landscapef naturally well up within him. His mind cannot be compassed by trivialities such as these. Only one occasion is on record at which he freely unbent his muse and replied oracularly to a question asked. ' JUNIOR YEAR. ror Reply : Bright light, Barnegat Light! You neier saw a nose quite so bright? Ginger and mint and a xtulip for tint, Will make your nose-gay in the night.. If the mere spontaneity of this verse has merit, it should lead the reader on to Carlls masterpiece. The supernatural element as it enters into realism is unsurpassed in his book Tapping the Beerian Spring with a Divining-Rod. But it is hardly fair to waste the entire Fall in a descrip- tion of its literary implications. The Harvard game really materialized. Severe training hedged it in on either side. A game with the Seminary preceding, and the unspeakable Yale game as a quietus. Despite the polemic attitude of the weather bureau on the day of our victory over the Crimson, nothing but pleasant memories linger around it. How pleasant it was to break training for a day or two. Billy Church didn't see the fun in going to the New York Food Show to do that, so Ty had to go alone. The day after his visit, the hugely-proportioned American Hag destined for the most popular college in the country, was awarded to Princeton. Ty didn't claim it, although he clipped a large enough sample from it to wear on his track suit to Athens. Too little cannot be said about the replica of our last year's non-success against Yale. It is only the more aggra- vating since the reason of it is now known and could have been warded against. If Broke had only been on the team ! No sadder words have ever come forth from the steps of Old Clio than that might have been of Howard Brokaw. Had I been on last year's team, there would have been a different score to record. This coming at the close of a successful season is internally disorganizing. Whether or not Rab had a better time at the Trenton State Fair this Fall, in collecting rare feathers from the Q55 Pronounced Julepj 162 THE Nassau HERALD. 'K Tarred and Feathered Lady, for his ornithological museum, than he did on that trip to Baltimore is a matter for personal speculation, 'i. e., assuming the person a judge of such pleasures. He is exonerated, at any rate, from the charge of ostentation of the Brokaw proportions. It is only unfortunate that the Twenty-third Street Theatre happened to provoke comment by not being- in Baltimore. The mere fact of taking the train for Springheld would not, of itself, have undermined his nerve or our credibility. The whole college was immersed in much the same quality of sorrow by the loss of the Yale debate, on the 6th of December, as the Ninety-Seven Brio-a-Brac Committee had been wading around in all Fall.. R. O. Kirkwood, having happily found a before-undiscovered manuscript, in that magic barrel of his, dealing with the Referendum question, had qualified for the debating team. After setting Yale up to dinner on what remained of our scanty and fast-sinking fund, we loaned what shirts we could spare to the Glee Club, and then all dispersed for a short season. ' Beginning at Philadelphia, Freddy McNish, Iarvey Geer, and Seward Erdman immediately began to whirl the storm centres to those cities of the South scheduled on the Glee Club's weather-chart-like route. Edwin Moore, who was wearing his hair and moustache Padereweski-fashion during this trip, scored acl Zibitum. He made a regular coup at Atlanta, where a Beauty Show was one of the attractions of the great exhibition. A mutual admiration society was formed between Edwin and the Hibernian Rosebud in less time than it takes to tell of it. The Rosebud so fascinated the gallant celloist by her realistic descriptions of himself and her home in Arkansas, that on tearing himself away he presented her with a green meal check, delicately expressing the hope that she would grace the concert that evening. So it was not a coincidence when, during the opening number of the Mandolin Club that evening, an JUNIOR YEAR. 163 usher came breathlessly onto the stage saying that a lady wished to see Mr. Moore immediately, at the ticket office. The audience never knew before that Schubert's, serenade could be played as a bag-pipe solo with mandolin accom- paniment, but Ed taught the Southern. people many interesting customs before returning to Old Nassau. When the musical clubs did return, it was to turn to the not quite ancillary delight of books, not entirely the Ninety-Seven BMC-a-Bmc, although that was one of the important works of the Winter. Many of us stayed up all night engrossed with astronomy and learning how to find a ship's longitude at sea, without asking the officers. The plaster images on their perches around Examination Hall hardly justified their presence by any aid their blank faces may have given. There is a first group in our class accessible via exams., and it is thought, by its encumbents, a good thing. Horace Greeley Padgett once thought it a good thing, in an ironical way, i. e., to push along, and desired to make sure of obtaining it. Now, Horace has always basked in the cool, steel-like, philological light of the strictly class- ical czwricullvl cloctores, but imagining that other roads were more strewn with roses than those familiar to him, he compromised his conscience and elected an art course. Oh, fatal blunder I All iirst groups on his report, but one, and that a third, in art. We all learn by our mistakes, perhaps, if nothing else, that we may expect a condition in after weeks. Then, too, we learn that some unpleasant things aren't to be avoided. When the infirmary's full, go to the exams. instead.

Poor Doggy Yeatts, how hard he worked during the exams! After them, he was so played out that hepfell asleep in the clubhouse, and the kind-hearted housekeeper was moved to remark, as she threw a blanket over him, H poor little man, he's so sick. Babe Hill was enjoying a free lunch at Calhouuls at this 'season on somebody who had misjudged the subjects in which Babe would receive conditions. On the entrance of a Sophomore, Babe generously tapped him on the back for the Stag Club. His friend claimed him for Navahoe. The rivalry became excessive on learning further that the eligible belonged to the Dance Committee. Babe requested a few choice steps which so pleased them both, that it was continued asa Zig-zag chase all the way to Brown Hall. Babe arrived there just in time to assist Fred Smith and Ollie Campbell at the coronation of Fred's room-mate as King Menelek of Abyssinia. Nothing can compare to this as an effective pageant, un- til the time of that famous demonstration in honor of Cuba Libre. Ninety-Seven was very little mingled up in this. Accordingly, the Spanish government didn't send Bob Sterling a telegram, but did the more natural thing, fi. e. roasted the Pwlncetonicm. Yes, we were about as little im- plicated in the Alphonso cremation, as Art Hagemeyer was at this time in the lacrosse team. He had been long familiar with the sight of a Lacrosse stick, having an old one over his mantel in Witherspoon. At the earliest symptoms ofa renaissance in the sport, he called an en- thusiasm meeting in the room where the lacrosse stick hung. 'Only this time, it was nonchalantly leaning against a golf club and class cane, evidently in daily use. Of JUNIOR YEAR. 165 course, Hag was made captain, and had the intense satis- faction of ordering Net Poe around the 'Varsity field. jack DeCoursey, too, was under his treatment. Jack wished to get into some sort of shape for the crowds on the Brooklyn Bridge. There must have been a Brutus in the camp, however, for in a day or two, an editorial appeared in Hag's 7. 30 A. M. mail, which cut him speci- fically and sharply. The Prvlncczfonicm conducted the election for a captain by parliamentary proceedings. Hag was not on their ticket, and in a few days the sticks were unstrung, and the affair was considered obsolete. jimmy Rhodes used the strings of Hag's racket on his banjo and played, Its All Over N ow.'7 I The Brokaw tank has always been considered an annex boudoir by many of our number. The two Cowans have always patronized it largely, although Phoebe is not the aquatic equal of john by any means, yet, he has either unlimited nerve or the most mercenary disposition in the class, surpassing Woody and Porky Reeves. During the early Spring, Phoebe, who could not swim, was lured into the tank by some classmates in East. Let those who care for such sights imagine to themselves Phoebe in light swimming costume, poised in junior orator posture on the spring-board. He isn't contemplating a dive just yet. Oh, no! First, he began persuasively to ask one of the attending fellows what it was worth to see him jump in. On being told ten cents, using that as a nucleus, Phoebe quickly had jewed the price up to fifty cents, and it was still rising, when in his excitement the spring-board began to wobble and in he went. U Thy gold perish with thee, piously ejaculated john Cowan, crossing himself with some shower-bath water. Phoebe was honest enough to give a fifty-cent show in the water. First, he would turn a som- mersault and light with both feet on the bottom, then he would spring up a few feet and chortle a bubble or two 166 THE N AssAU HERALD. up to the audience. Some of the fellows, mistrusting a fake, well knowing that Phoebe was not built to stay more than seven minutes under the surface, and not caring to see a beginner break the worldls record, pulled him out. Phoebe, on resuming his regular stipend of breath, called everyone down in the bitterest invective. He declared, however, that the tank water was as palatable as the mud in East, which has been ruining Perkins' voice of late, and is partly responsible for Kelly being dubbed Hpie-face. jerry Bradley now sent out his announcement cards for the baseball team. Hobart responded and found that her runs came in according to the law of diminishing returns. The score, 2 3-4, was a good one to serve as a nucleus for the Easter trip. All the cracks between here and North Carolina, excepting the Richmond team, were bowled over like nine-pins. The reader will recollect that this is our bonfire Spring. Wilfred Post has always been considered a genius, not because he rooms with Freddy Jessup and Le Roy Cooley, nor because he -successfully horsed Cam, that doesn't count for much. YV hy, Shy Thompson was so clever in that quarter as to receive Cam's Summa cum laude, vi. e., the certified assurance that of the entire class, the most loath- some in his experience of forty years, he, Shy, was the most innately vulgar member by far. When Greg is brought to mind this is the nonpariel compliment. Wilfredls genius lies not in the fact of his being a misogynist, for Magie is that. It must in some vague way be traceable from this remark of a Princeton lady, U I like to look at Mr. Post, he has such a poetical face. H The following incident will perhaps prove his genius by showing how a poetical face is usually indicative of an impractical and dreamy mind. Wilfred, during the Easter recess, took the train to Philadelphia for a dayis outing. In passing along Market street, the display in a curio-shop attracted his JUNIOR YEAR. 167 attention. There was a fine double-barrelled Parker gun in the window. W'olf is a connoisseur in arms. The price tied to the gun, 511.25 seemed absurd, but he entered and minutely examined the piece. The burnished blue on the barrels was all there, and the fiawless bore. Blessing the impulse which brought him to the city, Wolf counted out the price and hastened to the train. His eagerness to reach some place where he could try the new acquisition made the train creep over the ties. By the time that locomotive ataXia puffed up the hill to Princeton, Wolf had subsided sufficiently to submit the gun to the final judg- ment ofa noted authority in town. The decision of this supreme court was that 310 would be a magnificent price for the conjunction of wood and metal. Wolf's awful reck- lessness was later evinced when he carted the ordnance to Potter's woods, secured the butt in the forks of a tree and the muzzle on a nearby branch, and touched the thing off with a hundred-foot cord from a secure retreat. The shock only jarred off some of Le Pages glue and one of the triggers. It might have been worse, but Wolf was not staking his all on a single throw. Within an hour a barter had been negotiated by which Wolf became the un- challenged trustee of a fine bible with old gold trimmings. Reports from our Athenian brothers now began to flock in. It seemed but yesterday that Ty, handing over a bundle of Bfric-a-Brac bills to a fellow-editor, had stepped aboard the train as the first relay of the trip. Then we had felt our interest gradually grow as the representative four boarded the steamer and evacuated America. We were kept busy speculating as to whether they would lose their nerve on shipboard. Their safe arrival was keenly expected, and for a time the breath of Princeton baited with pamscmgs, Studia and staclions, caught quite a class flavor. The flavor was found to be saccharine on examina- tion, and positively glucose as favorable reports kept the f 168 THE NAssAU HERALD. wires humming. When finally the news of the result was received, the campus was vocal with pxans of victory.

The Athens team arrived in Princeton just in time to unite in another celebration, the organization of the Mercer Blues. They had heard rumors of it while in England, and had hastened their return. dn TGZXZQTLZ L'l2fZ'7'jl9L30,ll8VH as Herb Jamison explained on alighting in Princeton. ' Hitz was the people's choice for commandant of this bulwark of the nation. The Blues at once took that emi- nent position which their uniforms justined. The fol- lowing men of the class were at once elevated to the lieutenantcies, corporalcies and sergeantcies, not with- out' regard to their qualifications: Townley, Axson, Cooley, Kennedy, Reeves, Hollister, Fairbanks, Miller, Jessup, Frame, Leonard and Peck. Ed Axson com- bined mental ability with his striking physique. Geo. Peck received a humble office, chiefly because his Chester- neld limbs carried so much aesthetic weight with the crowds. John Townley had added to his natural polemic bearing a rheumatic stiffness, very suggestive of civil en- gineering days in the swamp. This served well for a military bearing. Since an allusion has been ventured on Geo. Peck's anatomy, I am glad to be able to corroborate it fully. Mr. Goldie had often marvelled at the Herculean proportions of Georgie's calves, and strongly advised him to purchase a pair of golf trousers. This George did, and secure in his new habiliments, after feeding the gaze of JUNIOR YEAR. r69 Princeton until it amounted to a veritable gorge, departed to the South, to Hightstown, to cultivate the pink eye at the Seminary. There, wishing to present a creditable appearance from the outset, Peck entered a store for rest and recuperation, and was attended by a young saleslady not innoculated against curiosity. Her glances beca1ne riveted about a foot above the lioor, to the intense em- barrassment of George. After some further and comprehen- sive gazing, the young woman expressed the candid opinion that they were stuffed. George could barely conceal his agitation and suffused blushes. But, collecting all his powers for a mighty effort, he did probably the wisest thing that could have been done-walking calmly over to the counter and laying the artistic member across it, inspec- tion was solicited. The saleslady recognized the impreg- nable apologetic position that George had assumed, and immediately admitted her error. George scorched home cz Za Schoonmaker after all this, contented for one after- noon. Hightstown is certainly a strange place. You remember vividly, no doubt-Gus does at least-the trip- hammer motion of the fair hand against his features, leaving traces of black around the eyes. That was in Freshman year. Harry Dean had a similar experience this year, only it was received on the football field and by a hand more nearly the size of his own Cabout half the sizej. Itjust comports with the taste of Rosie and Henny Barkley to prefer a boating trip to Dr. Wm. Henry Green's Jubilee celebration. A Could they have turned it into a benefit cake-walk entertainment for him, they would not have adopted the make-up amusement recorded below, which was simply a journey by inland waters to Philadel- phia, where Rosie lives. When the barge had been com- pletely stocked with sun-burn lotion, bottles of sarsaparilla andtext books, Henny shoved off. Sufficient head work had entered into the plan to obviate the irksomeness of r7o THE Nassau HERALD. routine work, so Rosie had not labored at the oars long before one of the canal greyhounds hove in sight, to which they made fast. Nothing, save their cramped quarters, retarded their full enjoyment, and by frequent desertions of the ship in favor of the water, after cutting lose from the tow, this was obviated. Empty bottles were ever and anon despatched toward the shores to assure the anxious of their safety. Wlien the tide had done its work, and Rosie had moored their craft to the water-front of his native town, he hospitably conducted Henny to his house. The butler, not being a decerner of disguises, failed to be impressed with their non-conventional attire, which savored of the proleicwlre. Rosie was offered his choice of a straw bed in the back-yard or respectable endorsement. Henny counselled the latter, as the bed might be single. It only necessitated a Turko-Russian bath and repetitious injections of soap to bring the couple into an approach to domestic trim. They came back to college over-trained, but able to enjoy the frontcampus, and even the singing. The second term of our third year was fast ebbing away. The steps deserted, we still lingered around, sympathizing with their late incumbents, and seeing the world through the large end cf the field glass gaping to receive us. We began to K' see our inishj' but the tinkle of the mandolins and the plaintive-voiced guitar, were still able to recall us from grim forebodings. The lofty elms seemed a pro- tecting shield over us, and the old campus firm beneath us. VVe could still banish care and sadness, for we were still the loyal sons of Qld Nassau. Yet, the Chinese lan- terns and the brass band were all needed to kindle a mirth becoming our fair Commencement visitors. Fasci- nated by the events of the final week, we were as power- less to depart as the charmed bird, so we remained and U saw our finish foreshadowed. The semi-finals are over, prepare the court for the finals! 1 172 THE NAssAU HERALD. SENIOR YEAR. SMALL, but well-seasoned portion of us came back to finish the last quarter of our course. No open- ing of the College of New jersey has inaugurated such a momentous year as this I 50th. We stood on the highest pinnacle of baseball to begin with, and the first term had not worn appreciably away before a foot was also planted upon the twin pedestal of football triumph. Thus we stood, Colussus-like in athletics, as well as crowned with honors in science and art. Marquand Chapel was unusually full of an attentive audience on the opening day, which listened to all that Dr. Patton would divulge regarding the in- scrutable decrees of the Faculty and Trustees. These were the men who were engineering the Sesquicentennial. Some of the Faculty were even then abroad making- deals with the prominent scwants of the Old World, offering a Princeton degree, and in some cases even the ,Varsity monogram, in exchange for their patronizing presence. They 'came conglomerately and segregariously, with their fur caps and gloves, their spinning tops, their impervious lingos and their manuscripts. Their baggage was as con- spicuously plastered up with brilliant tags as that of our own Geological Expedition, giving 'a regular rainbow or Sankey effect. We were much relieved when the Canon ofthe Colorado tourists registered as a unit, and reported the reservations reposing quietly and the fourth crop of alfalfa already under way. Nothing had much charm for us in the early Fall but the Sesqui and the football. As the foreign celebrities kept coming to the American frontiers, innumerable tickets SENIOR YEAR. I73 began to be issued for their lectures and temporary courses. For certain of these training was a necessity, especially in the cases where Semitic was the vehicle of expression. Never before had the lec-ture rooms been so crowded and the crush at the doors so heavy. The effect was much like that of Sophomores pushing into a room just being vacated by Freshmen, indeed, at one of the physics exposds, where the demonstrator was exorcising diamonds out of an ordi- nary crucible, the Mercer Blues had to be called out to quell the excitement. This now famous body had been organized, as some claimed, as the result of a particularly foxy, or even vulpine decision of the Faculty, which assumed that if a large portion of the campus dwellers were enrolled in a military company, it would be legitimate to send them to camp somewhere in the vastnesses to the South of Brown Hall, and that in their absence from the dormitories, the commodious structures could be utilized by the overflow visitors to the great collegiate-university- vice-versa-inetainorphosed Sesquicentennial. They bar- gained without their hosts, if this is the correct interpreta- tion of their motive. Of course, the Princeton Inn afforded little more than standing room to visitors, while the dining-room door bore the legend, U full up. 3' Downstairs in the sporting depart- ment, the graphophone and pool tables were in great demand, and after the Right Wing Club had had a show at them, being fundamentally a ,social organization, they would oftentimes fight their way upstairs, especially if feeling bright, and entertain the young women of their acquaintance who might be there. One bright evening Ed Davis and Frank Curtis pushed upstairs and engaged two feminine acquaintances of theirs in conversation. Although Ed is far from being a poor conversationalist, and is a staunch friend of Frank Curtis, yet the watchful gaze of the young woman in Franlds direction began to bore 174 THE N AssAU HERALD. him. Without appearing -to be affected by this, he tact- fully began to dwell upon Frank to an abnormal extent, thinking to generate a surfeit in the lady's mind. So he minutely described him as a Russian count in reduced circumstances, studying American institutions by order of the Russian government. I have seen him l1ere so much, remarked the 'i'l'lg677,'LL6, that I was positive he was the bartender? Then they set out for the campus to see the fireworks, which fittingly set off the gorgeous torch-light parade. Seward Erdman, a class A Mercer Blue, had tried to make a human Roman candle of himself in passing along Stockton street, where he observed some young ladies on the porches. The light buff and blue of the Revolutionary costume was but a poor absorber of heat. Seward may not have been so warm either, himself, and was put out without evidence. The rivalry in marching tactics between our Blues and the Yale Blues was intense and long-continued. john Hall is reported to have challenged one of the Yale men to a private contest. Ario Pardee had never been tall enough for a soldier, and had thus been deprived of a large amount of Sesqui- centennial excitement. To supplement this loss he deter- mined to go to the rival exhibition at the Fair Grounds near Trenton, although Burly Dickinson told him it wasn't quite au fait. Net Poe said he was willing to ac- company him for sociological reasons. Pard didn't inves- tigate his motives, but led the way. Net, soon tired of social phenomena, was all for sampling the country products and the ice-cream machines in full swing, and although sampling such things was not in conciliance with Pard's taste, he humored Net. It wasntt long before Pard had antagonized the owner of a prize pumpkin. Net wanted to try it, and Pard wished to humor him again. So after employing ruse after subterfuge all in vain upon the stub- born exhibitor, Pard could think of no more promising SENIOR YEAR. 175 expedient then force. He upset the man into a barrel of pickled brine. Such a revolutionary measure might well have a year's guarantee of ordinary success, and it surely would have had could Pard have retreated with the pump- kin. It was about two-thirds too much for him, and while he was trying to cut a revettement of nobs along it- nature had overlooked this in giving so much attention to weight-the agent of the Horticultural Society, after tele- graphing to the Department of Agriculture in Wasliiiig- ton for help, assisted two or three struggling detectives to drag Pard to the improvised lock-up. Net, who stood outside the structure, says that Pard's ragings were simply awful, and his kicking-well, within three minutes a great many boards had been broken loose at the bottom, and he seemed to be getting his second wind. The officers released him on- the stipulation that he would go for a carpenter and exchange photographs- as soon as Pach could finish a few. Perhaps no event of the autumn was more enjoyed, and by more of us, than the Harvard game at Cambridge. Our luxurious' special train pulled out of the station on the morning before the game, and raised as much unques- tioned hobb between here and Boston as the mysterious liying-machines haveot late. At every stopping-place the Cup and Girdle Brigade would alight and with measured steps Qthey had to be measuredj and patriotic voice adver- tise the university and their hopes for the morrow. Harry Kehler was feeling unable to get out much, as the motion of the train made him sick. On reaching Boston, the town directory was consulted for the best hotels and theatres, and then the opposite hunted up. In the early morning another consignment of us arrived by the steamboats and the town became aware of our presence. Several of our team, under the escort of jack McMasters, or a colored rubber, tasted of 176 THE Nassau HERALD. such pleasure as the new library affords, but most of them stayed at the Vendome and received the calls of half the college. ' The whole affair lives as a happy dream in many minds. The fun Billy Church had at his opponent's expense, the upset that Shy Thompson received, which really only in- creased the trouble of the enemy, the speculation as to how much we could score, or Harvard's chances against Penn. Pocketing a hundred per cent. interest that was due our money, we engaged in a go-as-you-please race to Princeton. Nothing unusual disturbed the return of the special train, not unusual at least to those who had been on the trips , of the Musical Clubs. jack DeCoursey had not been to Brooklyn since before the Harvard game, and only the intense interest generally felt in the work of the team kept him in Princeton until the great day of our victory over Yale. Wliat a fit ending to our college course this victory makes ! jack being crop-full, of the all-absorbing topic, decided to take his talking it out in quiet Greater New York. The mighty suspension bridge was safely passed, and jack was soon dodging the trolley cars. I can't truthfully say that he rode, for unforseen circumstances had made inroads on his well-filled purse, and he had to be careful. Witli .iI.63 and three days ahead of him at a hotel, there was bound to be tension. By the second day Jack had forgotten his financial embarrassment and the yawning cloaccc mamma of his stomach, and was completely engrossed in higher joys. But he was soon to be awakened to his position. From him that hath not shall be taken even that which he hath. The paltry amount could not be found, although there are no thieves in Brooklyn. jack grieved more for the trusting hotel-keeper than himself, for he had lost fairly and squarely. No excuses were offered when he became obliged to his friend's family for a five-dollar bill. SENIOR YEAR. 177 It wo'uldn't look well to borrow less. If jack were egoistic he would never have forgiven himself, but he decided to overlook the kicking this time, and only penal- ized himself with a hard course in finance. The musicians and members of the three musical clubs now redoubled their training and practiced apart from the general comment as it were. They were getting into trim for the annual two weeks carnival of laissez-faire Gallegher, which was at hand. Every one of the three organizations was in the pink of condition at the signal to start, although the gravest apprehension prevailed for a time on learning that the Yale Banjo Club had protested Carl George. Prof. Fine immediately wrote to New Haven and set our minds at rest by conclusively establishing his amateur standing. ' Baltimore was the Hrst objective point, and by the time it was reached most of the' fellows had disposed of their effects in the way of clothes and shoes and cleared a place to sit down. Not so Burt Miller. He travelled with much the equipment of a General McClellan. A sofa was appropriated to his toilet necessities. Having wedged a chair in between that and the side of the car, it was adapted to the usages of a medicine chest. Burt always carries many wholesome and simple domestic rem- edies and some petrified asphaltum tablets for his voice, although seldom singing, i. e., only by request. Passing lightly over the I5 or 20 cubic feet of rugs and dressing- gowns which were hung directly from the chandelier and nails driven into the woodwork of the ceiling, we have the burden' of this description. The minor details of the car were crowded on the platforms and remote corners, and consisted of Seward Erdman, -Tack De Coursey, Lee Terry, Harry Mat, Luke Miller, etc. Lady Jayne had been assigned a position in the front of the train, on the general understanding that he was a 178 THE NASSAU HERALD. mascot. He displayed many of the traits of one, I am told, and was vvatchfully cared for in a state-room, of a car especially named I-Iindoostanl' in his honor. His immedi- ate surroundings vvere looking-glasses, as Lady must sing, and half the pleasure of that gymnastic exercise consists in a minute examination of the pathology of his features in the operation. Hickey Smythe, who was surrepti- tiously observing a private rehearsal, avouches that Lady would patiently and intently note the horse-play of his dimples and protrusions in the mirror during the egress of several spurious notes, but at the iirst rumblings of an authorized sound would clinch it by pouring acid into those cracks which hailed its appearance. Thus his musi- cal scale was always with him, and by the twitching of his cheeks or Havana-Wrapper lips, he could accurately and topographically locate himself on the scale. Lady simply infatuated the other members of his sex and dis- turbed the domestic quiet of the entire Ohio valley. The Louisville papers report the following incident about Mr. Jayne, although Chicago claims it also: 'cMr. Jayne, the soloist or' the Princeton Glee Club, is the drollest collegian --We might almost say comedian--who ever visited this city. His antics, both on and off the stage, savor of the most incomparable originality, and convince us of his complete A. B. and P. D. Q. mastery of his complex self. The expression Which Mr. Jayne exhalated like a penumbm, when on seating himself on Mr. Jones' opera hat, the latter collapsed, was not the ordinary one of surprise. It reminded your reporter of nothing so strongly as a com- posite photograph of a phrenologist,s chart. The staccato effect of the Princeton evening belongs only to Mr. Jayne. He is the bas-relief of the three excellent musical organi- zationsf' I The story of the trip to St. Louis, Where Father Spencer got in his telling Work, is but the popular conception. SENIOR YEAR. 179 Nothing of a hazardous nature occurred, save at Wasliing- ton, where the funds of the organization and the concert of that particular evening itself were for a minute at stake. The emergency ability of the manager, Gus Hopper, was equal to the crisis, however. As soon as the officer ap- peared at the Armory door and asked for the license to give such an exhibit, he was referred to the manager sup- posedly on the train for Pittsburg, but in reality back of the scenes' questioning the need for such a move. The next night 'almost witnessed a catastrophe. In running through a certain tunnel the smoke-stack of the rear car was taken off. The porters assured Jack DeCoursey that had not the roof sagged down a foot below the usual level Qthe reader will remember Burt Miller's clothes were pend- ent from the -roofD it too would have suffered the same fate. As this history is not unabridged, it will be impossible to give a recital of the part Freddy MCN ish played in the carnival. Suffice it to say, that each place was harder to tear himself away from than the last, and each succeeding place seemed to have more claims upon him than the last. This may account for his return some time after the bunch. The fellows generally were not behindhand in re- turning after Christmas. It was as well, for the examina- tions came on with a rush, and their concomitants, men- tal and spiritual anguish. Fifth and Sixth group in Senior year means another hurdle between us and the diploma. Albert Rosengarten showed a lively apprecia- tion of this, when after a certain examination, he looked -over the already large pile of handed-in manuscript for about ten minutes before depositing his own. The key to the policy he had in mind was just this : Wishiiig to present a creditable comparative showing, he was seeking to lay his work upon that of a man his undoubted mental inferior, in the hope that the Professor would examine their work consecutively, and see the immense advance over the 180 THE NASSAU HERALD. inferior, at least. No paper seemed to be his ideal of illiter- ate ignorance or impenetrable density, until that of Herschel Norris was brought to light. Vae victvls! We must leave them to a higher judgement than our own or Rosie's. , The Ijltll of February being St. Valentinels Day, and the proper season for premature conditions, we regarded our mail keenly for the well-known missives. There are a few recorded cases where bona-jfcle valentines were re- ceived. Walter Seymour, alias Allan Wallace, is one of the fortunate ones. He was so pleased with the tender sentiment expressed in his valentine, that he requests its publication. To My Lovn WITH MY LOVE. You're all the world to nie, dear, Believe me this is true 3 Ah, would that I might be, dear, All the world to you. And not in Leap Year! On commending the tender- ness of feeling in this to jack Green, he interrupted with a hasty Tenderloin, and added, she might get him easily enough. The object of dread in these February days, second only to the postman, was Bill Reynolds. He was certainly laying for us with a very couchant lie, the full force of which was hurled against us on the 221141 of February. Some of us, such as the only one Gill, or the perfidious Iarvey, or the millionairess-hunting jude, succumbed. Others stopped away. One of these was Frazer, a man of vicissitudes, whom 'you see one minute and whom you think you don't see the next, because you don't recognize him in his Turkish band hat, oxford ties, and green and orange sweater. He furnished volumes of roasting material which Bill could have used on him and several other men, if he could have found the musician. But Frazer went to SENIOR Y EAR. 181 New York to study medicine and escape the mid-year exams. and the 22nd of February. Inky Harrold can't forecast the future very well, or he might have known that Frazer would return reasonably soon. Not knowing this, however, he moved into Frazerls vacant apartments so as to be near Frank Evans, who catches games for the Consoli- cated occasionally, and is the equal of his brother Torn in some estimations. But Frazer was only blufling at medi- cine, and incidentallypat Inky and the rest of us. So after the dual ordeals had ,been left beyond the horizon, Frazer came back and prevailed on Harrold to share the old room with him. Frazer once eked out a joke at a seminar, which was being held in George Howels room, on a cer- tain point of criticism. It is not a historical sort of joke, so you must interview Frazer about it, or consult the Tiger, Vol. VII, No. X, page 137 at the bottom. Bill Reynolds never had a happier two or three hours than those spent on his feet addressing the Washingtonls birthday audience on the foibles and failings of his Senior brethren. For accuracy's sake it should be stated, that is on Farmer Dunn's authority, that Harry Harris, his room- mate, has only one failing. Yes, Bill is fond of applause and the praise of men. With what Delsartean ease he drew back the curtain from before our foibles and ex- posed the inndelic blackness there! Yet he is a very vaporous sort of a fellow himself, if what Lady Jayne says is true. When Ian McLaren was in Princeton, Bill was about the only collegian who had a willing dollar to pay Major Pond or whoever else was the bonny nian's trainer. Middle VVitherspoon Hall marvelled much at Billls interest, thinking that he had a mote in his eye which he wished to cry out. They were electrified, however, and Gregory threatened not to room with him, when it was learned that Bill's best girl had likened him to David Copperfield, and that out of affection for her he wanted to see the author of 182 THE NAssAU HERALD. the work. Gregory says that Bill's worst night-mare comes in the form of the evil or singular eye. Sometimes he and Lady can do nothing to pacify the poor boy, who rouses Bill Knapp, upstairs, with his shrieks of H the eyes of the world is upon me. - Since Ninety-Five departed Princeton there had not been a Hockey Team. Ninety-Seven, on becoming Seniors, took the initiative in this sport, and under the able directorship of Harry, alias Lugs Masson, manager, and Bill, alias Reddy Robb, captain, soon had a first-class team under way. Exceptional privileges were at first held out as a lure for material, such as permission to wear 'Varsity foot- ball shoes and monogram socks. Lugs attended to every creature comfort of his team while away keeping their professional engagements. At New York where a member of the team and Lugs were sharing a room together, the height of altruism was reached on the part of the manager. Being wearied, he retired before his subor- dinate room-mate, and when a little later the room-mate entered, there was Lugs sleeping on the floor. The mem! ber of the Hockey Team was moved to tears to think that the manager thought so much of his comfort as to leave the whole bed' to him, and in the morning was most pro- fuse in his thanks. Lugs spoiled it all, unfortunately, by explaining that he had thought the folding-bed was a book- case. His abuse, which followed this confession, was equally honest, profuse and sincere. , Arthur Leonard never started his literary career as a Grubb Street Hackney., In his Freshman year, K' Ode to My Washerlady secured him a place on the Tiger board, and a controlling share of the stock which afterward ele- vated him to the highest gift in the power of the board. After a successful hold-up of the college in this capacity, he received an urgent call to the Lit, and devoted one of the best years of his life to writing hemiolic metres and I SENIOR YEAR. r 85 editorials. The latter weapon has torn great rents out of the tough fabric of college custom. Witli all his judgment and keenness it seems remarkable that he didn't know the word Hbegun 3' was not obsolete. It is obsolescent, Lennie, and the little change of suffix is responsible for all the havoc played with your feelings. You must understand that thegbulwark of confidence from which Lennie penned that editorial, condemning most specifically the grammar of one of the rnost strongly intrenched chairs of the university, looked higher to him than it did to the chair below. Hence the ccpropo re-adaptation of the famous Ass and Thistle fable, the most sticky point of .which seemed to be the fact that because the ass could pulpify thorns it didn't follow that the horse could. Lennie is now convalescent and the word begun is, still obsolescent. A Percy Colwell gave a house-warming to much the same caloric feeling as the Professor about this same time-that is during the rainy season-and on a review in the Lit also. The perfunctory labor required to compile a book-review was hardly congenial to a man who could dash off such an ingenius short story as U Prudence. Indeed, it may be termed a concession for Percy to supervise such work as reviewing, at its best, and when it is rendered as unpleasant as Wilfred Post made it for him, then he has cause for complaint. Wolf was correcting proof, as he thought, although really falsifying it. The review was of 4' Quo Vaclisf' and Ursus, the barbarian, had surmounted enough difficul- ties to qualify for the grand cliniacteric, the rough-and- tumble iight with the aurochs, or untamed bull. iNow, Wolf had never dissected an aurochs nor seen any animal more antique than the blood-sweating behemoth 3' of Holy Writ, and he experienced a revulsion at allowing aurochs to pass muster unchallenged. It became clear to him, after a little thought, that the word should be eunuch and, so curs- ing Percy to the time of a profane song without words, he 184 THE NAssAU HERALD. emendated the text. The retort which preceded' the pro- jection of Percy through Wolf's study door, when the Lit was distributed a short time after, is now on exhibition at the chemical laboratory. Not many days' after Wolf crawled out of this difhculty into a more irenic atmosphere, his room-mate, Fred Jessup, crawled into a similar literary hole. The Monday Night Club was enjoying a delightful evening, at Prof. Perryts house. The Byronic revival was being accounted for and unfolded and brought down to our plane in the Professor's inimitable way. In enumerating a list of Byron's works, Lara, Don Juan, Manfred, etc., when the Giaour was reached, out of courtesy to Freddy, Prof. Perry asked him whether Giaour was pronounced with a hard or soft G. Freddy comes from Syria, and Giaour being a Syrian word, hence the delicate attention. Without hesitation he replied I should think you would pronounce it like a jay, Prof. Ed Shortz, who is one of the most con- scientious wits on the Tiger board, passed a smirk through a dense sneeze, on hearing this. Freddy is such a slick fellow for all that, that he is even willing to be ridiculous to please others. , A Princeton always sends an Easter assortment of Seniors to Atlantic City to counteract' the strong Penn sympathy there. This year, Bill Trainer, John Reilly, George Cro- zer, Joe Ryle and some others were the representatives. Bill was stopping at the Windsor, which is very convenient to the casino, where he gets in some of this most telling blows. Four hours had passed. Bill and the girl seemed glued to their chairs. Bill must have started in gradually, for he was going- an awful clip at the expiration of that time and showing no signs of becoming stale. just at this moment a reporter passing heard the maiden say in most solicitous tones, H Oh, Mr. Trainer, doesn't it hurt you to be so awfully funny. Billy hadn't felt itlbefore, but SENIOR YEAR. 1 85 when he tried to pass this off in joke also-the strain was too much, and his iron constitution commenced to corrode. Nate Smyser passed his Easter with Harry Mat at Ber- muda. The coming home to college again, after the balmy influence of the tropical skies had percolated through every lazy fibre of N ate's nature, was additionally hard. An at- tractive young woman on the boat held forth some induce- ment for the return trip, as luck would have it, and as Nate would have it, he effected an early introduction with the fair one. They progressed in a way that made Nate think of getting a new japanned box for his new corres- pondence. QHis old one, 5 by I3 decimeters, has been crowded for a long ti1ne.j Two days of exalted bliss and Nate repeated the paradygm, as given in the Ladies' Home journal, to secure her address in New York. The lady excused herself for a moment, while she went to the rail and thence brought back a gentleman whom she intro- duced as her husband. He obligingly produced a card which Nate took on receiving a nod from Mat. Mat now has the card in his collection of K' 'Well-known Wives of Unknown Men. Nate, will for a time, limit himself to a certain boarding-school in Philadelphia, and serenades at Evelyn. He is hardly the unqualified success with the lat- ter institution that Art Kennedy, Ed Axson, George Howe and Carl Buckingham are. The entire A.B. B.S. and L.B. departments recently journeyed to the campus to see Art, who was the guest of honor at a Donkey Party. Whether or not he was the syrnbolical prefiguration or 'fmark of the beast has been the pans ccsincwum of Queenscourt up to date. Now, would I were Presentation Grator for just one minute, and only one reason, and that is that I might call up Pop Keener and expatiate upon his many parts. That little frame in the academic gown there deserves to stand fully six feet four in the air to be seen in 186 THE NAssAU HERALD. the proper light. QI wouldn't have him any broaderj. He is a mental, moral and indefatigable giant, and for four years has been one of the faithfullest prime minis- ters a class ever had, as well as its most onerous galley- slave. He is just now, probably not enjoying, but tolerating his first leisure of the four years course, and under the compelling influence of some soporiiic, or his overshadowing classmates. u Don't try to be so unconscious, Pop. You know as well as we, that you are the most popular man in this great class, and we have a ine sense of discrimination. The Philosophy Fellowship isa great thing, and so have been the various athletic and literary events into which you have-thrown yourself and come out of on the other sideg but you must know, before we separate, that you are to consider, as the primal achievement and Coronation of your whole course, our choice of you as the object of our affections. You are the sovereign of the Ninety-Seven Class Loving Cup, the Summa com laude honorman of our popularity. May your past disinterested labors for old Ninety-Seven it you somewhat for successful work in the interests of Pop Keener, when you care to do any work for him. Bob Garrett, you deserve quite all the honor- ablepepithets the English language can frame, and more than the historian of Ninety-Seven can begin to conjure up for you. Wlien in Freshman year you started in so earnestly for the Track Team, you entered also upon the road to class distinction. Your advances toward the high office you now hold have been as systematic and inevitable as your advances on the track. You haven't used any arts to win your way with us. You are just a decidedly good fellow, and that is what holds the weight with us. Although we notice a great and even remarkable increase in you in many desirable features, yet the minutest measurements fail to show the slightest tightening of the SENIOR YEAR. I87 tape when the girth of your head is determined. So all hail, Bob, you have brought the ship of state safely to its harbor after a four years cruise, you are fitted for the seventh heaven of success, and I trust the class prophet can assure it to you for an unlimited future. H The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding sure? Wliere is Broke, the handsomest member oi our excep- tional galaxy? He must be congratulated, whether that olive-brown complexion is due to any one of the eighteen cosmetics of his slielf, or to his constant exercise on the Hockey Team, the Ivy Baseball Team, the Track Team or the Princeton University Football Team, the champions ofthe season, '96. Well Broke, happy the girl with an esthetic taste who takes your young fancy. Your class- mates have given their guarantee as to your paragon pa- trician air and unrivalled picturesqueness, in the NASSAU HERALD. That will not avail you so much, however, as your many successful battles under the Ninety-Seven banner. ' There are others who have ever been the soldiery or standing army of our number. jerry Bradley, for a man twice your size, the honor you have won on the ball field in any one of your years here would have been more than sufficient to last for all the college course, and then to have been captain of a championship team. Baldy Wil- son, Billy Church, Fred Smith, Ty, Shi Thompson, jake Altman, you have all of you left your monuments in the the trophy room of the Field House, and 1 don't need to throw a calcium light upon them. You are secured to the coming years of the university by ties of fame, which shall only die out with the death of the hale old Princeton spirit. That old spirit is moving among us to-day and repaying us ten-fold for any little trouble we have under- gone for the Alma Mater. It is the old stand-bye that has cheered us on to four undefeated years on the track, to the 188 THE NAssAU HERALD. possession of the Relay Cup, to three pre-eminent years on the baseball field. Now we are about to bequeath it to our followers. Yet a large part of it shall accompany us and do some soulful cheering on the track which is full of sharp turns, deep ruts and very high hurdles. Ninety- Seven feels that the mantle it leaves can hardly cover the young Hercules of the new university. With such ac- commodations for academic work and athletics as the uni- versity now affords, the rosiest prospects seem within its grasp. We leave content if we have 'hastened that day when historic old Princeton Heights shall' be the standard elevation of physical and mental culture, and Princeton the Athens of America. History does not approach nearer the confines of the great unknown. Our metal accumulated here is about to be burned or refined in the oven. But what care we for such thoughts-for the battles andstrifes ahead-at this our last and trying moment. We are all here together, and that should be the thought of contentment. It may be some time before we shall be again. lt won't be for us to lean against the new library and bask in the sun, but we have leaned against Old East and Old Chapels, and wouldn't change with the newcomers. We havemade our own Princeton here among ourselves and the old land- marks, and no sons of ours shall ever exalt some new Princeton in our ears. This is not conservatism 3 we are looking for great advances in the old place, but forour private worship and shrine give us plain Old North and the cannon. Our enthusiasm will never be carried away to Nineteen Hundred and Eight, while our recollection sees the 'Varsity field of jerry, Billy Church, Fred Smith, Bob Garrett or Broke. That picture will be the one to fan the smouldering ashes of our memory when the warmth of the chimney corner has come to suit us better than a sweater. The old campus must ever be the loadstone of our desires, SENIOR YEAR. 189 the star of our hopes, the Greenwich of our wanderings. Not until we sit smoking at our iirst reunion and playing with the little holder of the Class Cup, will the fragrant bowl and the curling wreaths seem so sweet as they have during these careless days, on idle backs, with the elms above and the sacred music of the steps around us. We defy time to do his worst. He canlt eiace the picture framed in our hearts. That is indelible. This history does not show you in your stately height, fellows. All the pageantry and achievement has been untouched. It can only kindle a little spark of thought which, applied to the hot furnace of your patriotic zeal, will do the rest. I believe that the everyday history of Ninety-Seven is suggestive enough to set our middle-aged blood tingling when it does become toned down. The better days of lifehave been ours. For four years we have lived and witnessed two football and one baseball championship. May Ninety-Seven's shadow never grow less, but rather increase 5 and may our hearts never grow heavy while we have the old cannon and a jolly good classmate to drag us around it.

College graduates in Arts and Sciences who, during their Collegiate Course studied Biology, Botany, Zoology, Inorganic Chenustry, Anatomy and Physiology are admitted to the second year without an entrance examination. . The teachings are broad and liberal, embracing everything essential to a thorou hl g Y educated modern physician , i The College and Hospital Buildings and Laboratories are new and fully equipped in every detail . , ' The senior students receive the best possible clinical or bedside teaching in small classes. They are taught to examine patients, use instrunients of diagnos1s, prescribe medicine and perform operations under the direction of the clinical teachers. The United States is not at all adequately supplied with physicians ot the honioeopathic school, nor is it likely to be for years to come. An examination of the Medical Directory of the United States, published by R L. Polk 8L Co., will show that there are hundreds and hundreds of towns and cities in this country, having populations varying from a few hundreds to several thousands, in which there is not a single honioeopathic physician g besides hundreds of other towns and cities in which there are abundant opportunities for additional physicians of that school. So that the well-schooled medical graduate Qand no physician is well- schooled unless his College education has included a course in homoeopathyp has every reason to anticipate for himself an honorable and lucrative business.
