A To P Jo tKe Reader. It is not without some hesitation that we place before you the Debris, the first annual ever published by a class of Purdue University. Should it not meet your expectations, we beg that you will be sparing in criticism until you have at least considered the difficulties with which we have contended in the preparation of the volume. In the older colleges the annuals are recognized as prom- inent and permanent publications, which add much to the interest and spice of college life. While much that they contain is for amusement rather than for instruction, yet, if written in a proper spirit they must add some prominence to their institutions. It has been with this thought that we have prepared the Debris. At Purdue, the question of such a pub- lication has frequently been agitated, but to no avail until now. The Class of ' 87 thought over the subject with some degree of intensity, while ' 88, with its great intellects, ( ?) considered deeply the advisability of such an undertaking, but upon com- paring its ability with the requirements of such a task, it wisely, though reluctantly, gave up the attempt. When it was announced in March that the Senior class would publish an annual the astonishment of some of the lower classmen was great — not that they doubted ' Sg ' s abil- ity to accomplish whatever it might undertake, but because of the wrong impression they had of an annual. When they were informed that we desired to publish their class histories consternation was rife. The alarm was sounded, class meet- ings were held, and the more cautious and learned took oc- casion to shake their heads ominously, and express their fears of some foreboding evil which they knew not. Com- mittees were appointed to interview the editors and ascer- tain the amount of remuneration the class historians would receive for their work, and the probable cost to the classes for publishing the histories, etc., etc. After a generous ap- plication of soothing and reassuring words their fears were allayed, and promises for their co-operation were made. Our financial condition and the very limited time for the work have also been stumbling blocks in our way. It has been our aim and earnest endeavor to make the Debris fairly representative of our institution, without too many dry and abstract facts which properly belong to a cat- alogue. We have endeavored to please all. With malice toward none, charity for all, has been our motto in prepar- ing the Debris. For our illustrations we wish to acknowledge our indebt- edness to our brother editor, J. T. McCutcheon, and our classmate, Mr. Bert Rogers. Both these gentlemen, by their untiring efforts, have added no small amount of inter- est to our work. In conclusion, the class desires to express the hope that the character and influence of the Debris mav be such that succeeding classes will follow our example by publishing an- nuals, all of which shall add to the glory and honor of Board of Trustees.

Historical SUetcK of pWdvie. pURDUE UNIVERSITY had its origin in an Act of ■ ■ Congress dated ]u y 2, 1862, an act that donated public lands to the several states and territories which would provide colleges for the benefit of agriculture, science and the mechanic arts. The national grant was accepted by the state of Indiana March 6, 1865, and a board of trustees with the corporate name of The Trustees of the Indiana Agricultural College was organized for the management of the trust funds. This board received the land scrip, amounting to 390,000 acres, and April 9, 1867, sold it for $212,238.50. By careful and wise management this endowment fund has been increased to $340,000, which is invested in a non-negotiable Indiana state bond, bearing interest at five per cent., payable quarterly. At a special session of the Legislature, in 1869, an act was passed, May 6, accepting a donation of $150,000 from John Purdue, of Lafayette, Indiana. At the same session other donations were accepted from Tippecanoe county and from citizens of this county. In consequence of this the institution was called Purdue University, and its location fixed near what in now known as West Lafayette. Prof. Richard Owen, of the State Classical University at Bloomington, was elected as the first President, but re- signed before the opening of the University. Superintendent A. C. Shortridge was elected as his successor, June 12, 1874, and the University was formally opened September 17, 1874. By an act of the Legislature, March 5, 1875, the Board of Trustees was reorganized and the present plan of organ- ization effected. The number of the trustees was reduced to six, two to be nominated by the State Board of Agricul- ture, one by the State Board of Horticulture and three to be selected and appointed by the Governor. This act also provided that the Secretary and Treasurer should not be members of the Board. President Shortridge resigned December 31, 1875, an E. E. White, ex-commissioner of the public schools of the state of Ohio, was selected to succeed him. Dr. White began his work May 1, 1876. Under his management the institu- tion continued to gain in influence and popularity. The course of study was reorganized and strengthened. The number of the Faculty was increased. President White resigned in 1883, and James H. Smart, ex-Superintendent of Public Instruction in the State of In- diana, was elected to fill the vacancy. Under his adminis- tration, which still continues, the University is prospering more than ever before. During the life of the University money has been appro- priated from time to time by the State Legislature for the purpose of paying running expenses and for the erection and equipment of buildings. The last session of this body, in addition to an appropriation of $45,000 for improvements, provided an annual income of $30,000 in addition to the endowment fund arising from the sale of lands already mentioned. These amounts, together with the $15,000 an- nually appropriated by the United States Government for the experiment station, puts the University on a sound finan- cial footing. The permanent annual income may be summed upas follows: Interest on bonds, $17,000 ; annual appro- priation, by act of Legislature, $30,000; for United States experiment station, $15,000. Total, $62,000. The purpose of the institution is to afford the young men and women of Indiana an opportunity to acquire a good col- legiate education in Mathematics, Science, Literature and Art, and at the same time to secure instruction and practice in such lines of work as will fit them to engage in the prac- tical industries of life. The instruction is both theoretical and practical. The usual methods of text-book study, reci- tation and lecture are employed, but the student is required to put into practice as far as possible the instruction which he receives. He, for example, not only receives instruction in regard to the theory and principles of drawing, pattern- making and machine construction, but he is required to make working drawings himself, to construct patterns, to make the castings in the foundry, to finish and set up the machine, and to operate it when it is completed. This combination of the theoretical and the practical characterizes the institu- tion. Being a state institution, the instruction in Purdue Uni- versity is free to all residents of Indiana of suitable age and acquirements. Small laboratory, library and incidental fees only are charged. Jke Faculty, I hold it ever, Virtue and knowledge were endowments greater Than nobleness and riches : careless heirs May the two latter darken and expend ; But immortality attends the former, Making a man a god.

THE 6th day of September, 1888, was an eventful one in the history of Purdue University, for on that day the Freshman class of ' 92 first gathered within its classic halls. That this was an event of no ordinary importance, will be seen upon consideration of the superiority of the material of which the class is composed. In size it exceeds any that has ever entered the college, and it is as much superior in appear- ance as in size. We had already made a record as Preps of which no class need be ashamed. To be sure, but few opportunities to win notoriety were offered during the year. The class pur- sued the even tenor of its way, performing every duty faithfully and maintaining its rights and dignity upon all oc- casions. When the new building of the experiment station was completed, it became the ambition of several of the classes to paint the roof in designs of their own invention. But ' 92 eclipsed them all, for one fine morning the figures ' 92, painted high up on the roof of the building, met the eyes of all who happened to look in that direction. In athletic sports we stand preeminent. The pride of the University last year was its base ball team ; but where would that team have been without our Freshman short stop? He has been obliged to leave us this year, and by a singular co- incidence the base ball team has also gone. In the class-day athletic sports we won everlasting fame and one prize. But the fact that we only took one prize is no proof of physical inferiority. Several other prizes would have been ours. but for a combination of unfavorable circumstances. While the majority of the class are from Indiana, a num- ber of other states are represented. The class has won dis- tinction on several occasions, and has been spoken of by several members of the Faculty as being superior in mental •ability to the average Freshman class. In the society annu- als of ' 89, the members of the class who took part in the entertainments demonstrated the superiority of the class to which they belong most effectually. It would not do to close this histo ry without mention ot the girls of ' 92. Although they are in a minority, they con- tribute to a very great extent to the intellectual strength of the class, and for beauty of face and figure they are unrivaled. After what has been said regarding the abilities of the class, it may fairly be assumed that its prospects are most brilliant. We came here at the beginning of the year, many of us entire strangers to college life, and very green, no doubt. But if we were at first the subjects of hazing on the part of the upper classmen, we were very soon able to demonstrate to them that we were not so green as we appeared. In this first year ' s march along the highway of college life we have lost some members from various causes. Some were unable to keep up with the procession, and, becoming weary, dropped out of line. Others have been obliged to leave us, and among these are some whom we expect to see back again next year. Although our experience as Freshmen has been one of uninterrupted success, yet our ambition is not yet satisfied, but, like Alexander, we long for more worlds to conquer. We have already begun to contemplate the Sophomore seats in chapel with a view of occupying them ourselves in the near fu- ture, while the restless Preps, will soon take upon themselves the dignity and importance of full-fledged Freshmen and will occupy the places which we will have left forever.

I am fully aware that the position to which I have been assigned is one of more than passing moment. I must confess that through my nature runs a vein of van- ity that makes me eager that my name shall hold a high place in the temple of fame. Think of it ! My name among the noted historians of the world : Alkire, Bancroft, Hildreth, Motley, Prescott and Xenophon. You will observe that I have arranged them in alphabetical order, and not because I was moved by any desire to reflect from the crowns of those named after. To think that the Seniors, with all their wisdom, should think the task could be accomplished in the short space of time from Friday to Monday ! But here, I fear some grow impatient at my long delay in reaching the vital point in my theme, viz. : The lives of the great that now surround me with expectant faces. The river is here, I cross and burn my bridges. It has been but about two years since we first assembled in the college chapel of Purdue with the earnest desire, of all who knew us, for our welfare. We numbered seventy- eight then — fifty-seven boys and twenty-one girls. Having known us at that time, you would not recognize us to-day, for we were not unlike other Freshmen, we were green — just as the present Freshmen are — but we can truly say, which is more than some classes can, that we were not evergreens. We wore paper collars, neckties of old-gold, peacock- blue and mahogany, known by some as the wagon-bed col- ors, but by us as the colors of the Sophomore class. The greater part of the year was spent in hard study, but towards the latter part a great deal of time was spent in writing our friends of the advantages of college life, the great success we were having, how few conditions we had, and how, when we were through college, we would become noble heroes, win some great name, that when we died the nation would mourn our loss ! On class day, what honors were bestowed upon us ! We gained the tug of war, the one-mile race, throwing base ball, and the hurdle race. The base ball club of Purdue last year was composed principally of the boys of ' 91. As Sophomores, we number fifty-two. We have not been known as the silly Sophomores, as has been applied to preceding classes — in fact, there is no name applied to us at all. Nor, as Sophomores, did we adopt a mortar-board hat, as did the Sophomores of ' 90. The members of our class have always conducted themselves with such dignity, and have gained the good will of all the classes in college, that none have ever attempted, or even thought of, making a dummy Sophomore to suspend on the telephone wire, as they did with the class of ' 90. As Sophomores we became more egotistical ; hence, when a Sophomore appeared, silence reigned. We learned to stay from chapel exercises on Sunday — for that matter, other classes followed our example, even the choir, and guyed the professors, generally shunned them, es- pecially if a young lady and gentleman were walking to gether on the campus. Our class has never failed in any- thing it undertook, although the success has varied. Some may say that we did not succeed in keeping ' 91 painted on the new experimental building. The Seniors claim the honor of painting last — they had to experiment on something ; but by no means strange, the building was struck by lightning during the vacation. I might say that we considered ourselves successful in our great feat at the Junior in our Freshman year. Although, when we had our class-meeting to make arrangements for their salutation, one of their honorable members — I say, hon- orable — was hid in the closet to hear our program, but, not to say strange, our boys found him, hearing the mouse in the closet, and a rope was quickly secured, placed about the in- truder ' s waist, and he was quietly lowered at an outside window to the lower regions. I can only say that the Jun- iors were not able to appreciate our fun the night of their en- tertainment. In our Sophomore year one of our members left us — she was married. Our ages vary from sixteen to twenty-five, and weights from one hundred ten to one seventy-five. Our class possesses few mustaches, being, I believe, about six. These belong exclusively to the gentlemen, except in about one case, where the relation is such that a certain young lady claims that it belongs to both of us. The majority of the class are decided Republicans, but some are devoid of politics. We are about equally divided as regards our coming from town or country. Few of us have any special study ; those that have, prefer Zoology and Mathe- matics. Few of us have made the best use of our time in college ; this is shown by the fact that not one in the class has ever had more than seven conditions or higher than nine demerit marks. We promise to do better in the future, es- pecially those with the above trouble hanging over their heads. Previous to the writing of this history, questions were presented to the class of something of this order: Are you engaged to be married? If not, is it your fault? The most of the class protested against answers. I expected each one to be honest with me and tell me all, but they refused. I am tempted to give them away, but I won ' t. It is sufficient to say that we have one married member in our class. Such is a part of our history in general, much more could be said, and all the members deserve individual treatment, but owing to the smallness of the internal economy of the Seniors, their inability to secure sufficient space for a more lengthy record, I come to my conclusion. My task is ended, the race is run, and what I have re- corded becomes a part of the world ' s story of mankind. Soon, too soon, only a moment of these days with their joys will linger like the fragrance of some sweet flower that pleased us with its perfume. Life ' s measureless ocean, with its tireless tide, will beat upon our every-day lives. But ever let the ceaseless murmur of the sea of our school-day lives lull to rest our tired heart in the years to come. Historian. Class of ' 91 Class Colors — Old-Gold, Peacock Blue, Mahogany.

S History of ' 90. 7V PROUD and gala day was that Thursday in early Sep- V«5 tember when first assembled within the classic halls of old Purdue that now famous class — ' 90. At first we were Freshies, clad in deepest green (this from the upper classmen), but it is a wonderful fact that in a few short months our influence was felt by both students and faculty. Our congenial spirits soon endeared us to our contemporaries, so that now, were it not for the class of ' 90, the college would be a blank. We had not long been at the University until the class had been organized, and had prepared a constitution which is a wonder to behold. In this able production was set forth our purposes, aims, etc., etc., etc., together with our avowed intention of having a Sophomore picnic, and a Junior enter- tainment, both of which intentions we have scrupulously car- ried out. Our presence in the college soon awakened all the dormant class spirit that could be desired. Our class yell was soon heard, awakening a thousand echoes of disapproval from our more advanced brethren, and even causing the tel- ephone pole to tremble with a vague, fearful foreboding of suspended hostilities. Then the mortar-boards, those won- derful brain covers which afforded so much amusement for the flower of the college (? ), brought class spirit to the highest possible notch. In our Sophomore year, little else was talked of save the picnic. Finally, after old Father Time had mowed down nearly six acres of 1888 (breaking the point of his scythe on the 28th of February, and consequently requiring another day of that month to grind it), and had let about half the sand run through his hyperboloid of revolution, the 19th of Maj ' awoke with a start, yawned, and finally opened one eye with amazement, to find that a picnic party that was to leave the wharf promptly at 8 o ' clock, actually got started at 9 o ' clock. But the picnic — well, the ablest critics have pronounced it a great success. A beautiful day, fair damsels and gallant youths, music which was veritably the food of love, viands that would tempt the gods , with a thousand other de- lights, combined to do homage to o ' s Soph. picnic. Note. — By humoring the good ship Russel, we were once more enabled to set our feet under the bed before retiring. This same year, ' 90, attended the Junior entertainment in a body. The honorable faculty were so well pleased with our evident appreciation of the entertainment that they pre- sented each of us a neat souvenir, with the autograph of their secretary attached. The class of ' 90 is not a class of athletes, for, in the de- velopment of our great brain-power, we have sadly neglected our physical beings. Neither are we a race of herdsmen, as we prefer to plod along day by da}- rather than attempt to mount what may prove a bucking -pony, that is liable to throw one into a condition of dire distress, which has no special attractions for the rider. We are now Juniors ; in a few short months we will have ascended one step higher, and have assumed the exalted place of the Senior, where we will fill the under-classmen with awe and admiration. Then, in another short college year, life will have begun in earnest, and probably our happiest days on earth will have been over. ' 90! Ah! dear old class, my pleasantest hours have been spent beneath the folds of thy banner. To the day of my death, thy name will ever rise up in my memory, bring- ing thoughts of the happy past, when care, and trouble, and sorrow, had not a place. 657151 J jr ior Glass ' 90, Finem Eespice. class emblem: A spray of holly mi a background of white satin.

THE future is veiled in mystery, but the past is an open book from which all may read. Our college life, as we near the goal of graduation, grows more condensed each day. That which once seemed an endless task of toil and trouble now appears but a pleasant pastime, where friendship and joyous duties, well performed, eclipse all the conditions of sorrow through which we may have passed. When first our footsteps were heard echoing through col- lege halls we were a various people, hailing from all quarters and climes. There were representatives among us of the sturdy farmer lad with sun-burnt face and shortened trousers, fresh from the fields of Jay, Knox and Fountain, where dad delved to send sonny to learn why corn grew up instead of down and why the potato bug thrived without reference to the moon. The city-bred son, with his ill-fitting hand-me-downs, was ushered into the mysteries of the place by his papa, who could not bear to have Johnny come in contact with the un- couth country lad without some protection. He was intro- duced as my son, Johnny, whom I expect to be a great man in mechanics some day. They say he resembles his father, and no doubt he has the ability to demonstrate Pi with pre- cision and to differentiate the points of a lesson in the expan- sion of steam between the limits of zero and ten with unerring accuracy. And Johnny has never failed to get the limit as near zero as possible. The merry maidens of the class were few, but favored with as much beauty and modesty as any that had ever gone before or have since followed, being models in womanly man- ners, which all their followers have desired to imitate. Although, as a class, somewhat of a heterogeneous make- up, there were the elements of manhood among us which soon begun to manifest themselves in the thorough prepara- tion of lessons and class spirit, causing us soon to be bound together by the closest bonds of friendship. And ere we had ceased to sigh for mother as soon as the shadows of darkness cast their gloom about us, we had organized a class, adopted our constitution and were soon leading the college in class spirit and decision of action. Our Freshman year was spent in sizing up the faculty and coaching ourselves for the coming conflict of our Sopho- more year, which had not long been on until ' cp ' s mortar- board class hat was found airing itself at the dizzy height of the telephone wire, decorated with its becoming color, green, and dedicated Wa-Hoo, ' 90. ' ' This event caused the short man of ' 90 to stretch his neck and wits in a vain attempt to rescue the painted prize. But as he was too slick to climb a soaped pole, the sign-board still continued to proclaim Fresh and green to all who chanced to pass it by. Other than this nothing of importance occurred until the Sopho- more picnic — the event of the year — caused a ripple of enjoy- ment to enthuse the students with the expectation of a pleas- ant ride, rare music and a sumptuous feast. And their expectations were fully realized, for ' 89 is the only class who, at their picnic, feasted on the fat of the land, reveled in the sound of melody, rode the Wabash to dry land and returned by rail. Silence reigned serene after the picnic until ' 87 deposited its monument of iniquity at the junction of the college walks, where it remained, a constant reminder of their pompous pride and derisive dignity. But their brilliant display was doomed to be short-lived, for ere the rock had settled to its final resting place in its new-found bed, it was destined to be visited by the wrath of ' 89. While the unsuspecting Se- niors were wrapt in the confiding arms of Morpheus, dream- ing of the glory of their graduation, the Sophomores were busy decorating the rock of their pride with a thick coating of the most durable of black paints. During the ceremonies accompanying the decoration, the small sentinel stood faith- ful guard lest some marauding enemy should disturb the distinguished committee in their noble work. The eyes of the orator shone in the gloom with the brilliancy of fire, while brush and broom flew fast at the work. None failed in their duty, and ' 87 ' s monument had soon received a black eye, which it still retains, in part, although the Seniors ex- pended much soap, benzine and labor in their attempts to revive its former beauty. The remainder of the Sophomore year was spent in smiling over past successes. The greater part of our Junior year was passed in hard study, while wrestling with Calculus, Searles and Mechanism . But we did not fail to give the best Junior entertainment ever given at Purdue in the face of the most determined opposi- tion the other classes were able to devise. The rockets, fans, spectacles, gloves and papers produced for annoyance were entirely unnoticed and forgotten by the audience in their un- divided interest in the literary work of the evening. We walked rough-shod over all opposition, and came forth from the fray unscathed, though somewhat scented. Our greatest triumph, however, was still to be achieved at the coming class-day athletic exercises, where ' 89 was the winner of eight out of fifteen contests against the combined efforts of ' 90, ' 91 and ' 92. The literary success of ' 89 is unequaled. When her ed- itors took charge of the Purdue, the faculty was so pleased with the first issue that they concluded it best to let the paper rest upon its merits, the reason for their action being based on this belief: that, according to a universal law in nature, there is arise, culmination and decline in all the works of man- kind. And being so wonderfully impressed with the merits of the issue, the} ' thought improvement impossible, and reasoned that it must have reached the highest point attain- able, and had best be stopped, before the disgrace of decline which was sure to follow the resignation of the ' 89 editors. The most pleasant event of the Senior year was the ban- quet. An event which will long be cherished in the un- certain labyrinth of memory, always with the most fantastic pictures of peace and plenty. Where the long tables, cov- ered with polished silver and snow-white linen, fairly groaned beneath their burden of delicious delicacies. And the eyes feasted upon the richest dainties which could be devised by sister, sweetheart and mother. May they live long, pros- per, and enjoy God ' s richest blessings for their kindness bestowed. But our history will only be complete when the Debris, the first Purdue annual, is shelved in the ancient archives of literature, there to remain as a monument of ' 89 ' s ability and originality of purpose. A monument more lasting than the rock of ' 87, with all its history, which required no thought to place in position, and only physical labor to purify ; a monu- ment more abreast with the times than the ticker of ' 88, which requires the winding of a Waterbury, and is a fair sample of the plodding motion of its donators. ■« «  bU Glass of ' 89.

JKe IrVir g. £ iii Non Proficit Deficit. N the evening of January 29, 1874, a sma number of students met to complete the organization of Purdue ' s first literary society. At this time, a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and permanent officers elected, J. B. Harper being selected to occupy the chair for the first term. The society began with a membership of sixteen, and although it continued to meet once a week, neither name nor motto were adopted until the latter part of the spring term of ' 74. The first public entertainment was given by the society December 15, 1875. This was the inauguration of the cus- tom of presenting to the public an annual entertainment, which custom has been observed by the Irving ever since. For the first two years the society grew slowly in numbers. In November of its third year the society took possession of the new hall presented to it by the University authorities. This occasion was observed by an appropriate and impres- sive dedication. Among the distinguished visitors present at this time were Governor Williams, Governor Hendricks, President Moss of the State University, President Jones of the State Normal, and other prominent men. Being now permanently located, the future prosperity of the Irving was assured. However, two factions arose, the rivalry between which materially retarded the society ' s prog- ress. The strife continued until 1881, when twenty-six mem- bers resigned and organized the Carlyle Society. Since that time the Irving has kept pace with the times, both as to the character of the work done and the character of her mem- bers. Twelve of the post-graduates of ' 88- ' 89 are members of the Irving. Several hundred dollars have been spent upon the furnish ing of Irving Hall, of which the society may well be proud ; and with her present members and future prospects, the Irving bids fair to maintain her high standing, and to continue to be one of the recognized features for good in the University.

Colors — Cardinal and light blue. TT was not until the college year of 1877-78 that an organ- ization was effected for the literary advancement of the young ladies of Purdue. At that time a small but energetic band of workers took the matter in hand and applied them- selves to the task with such vigor, that the Philalethean was soon a permanent feature of the institution. Of the fifteen charter members, Eulora Miller was given the honor of being first President, and with the usual number of minor officers, the Society started upon its career of usefulness. For a while they suffered the inconvenience of having no definite place of meeting, but in the spring of 1878 they were given a hall to which has been gradually added the luxurious furnishings which now adorn it. The first annual entertainment was held upon the evening of June 12, 1878, and the affair was pronounced an entire success. The annual also occurred during commencement week the following year, but in 1880 no annual was given, owing to a change in the commencement week program. This change set apart a night when the societies should be addressed by some prominent speaker, the Senior members being graduated from their respective societies upon the same evening. Since 1880 the annuals have always occurred either in March or April. The first open meeting, in the spring of 1879, attracted a large audience, and it is needless to say that the friends of the Society were in no wise disappointed with the manner in which the performers acquitted themselves. The autumn of 1881 marks an important point in the his- tory of the Philalethean, for at that time the Carlyles were given a share in the hall, and the rapidity with which it has been furnished is due to the combined efforts of both societies. An acquisition which has added much to their enjoyment and to the attractiveness of the hall is a Linderman upright piano. Several entertainments have been given by the Society to improve their financial condition, and all have been eminently successful. Many whose names are enrolled in the Society have passed from school to take up the more exacting duties of life. Of this number, no small per cent, are engaged in teaching or are occupying other positions of responsibility, while, so far as can be ascertained, twenty-seven are married. The character of the last Annual furnishes convincing proof that the Society is doing as good work as at any time in its history. It has at present thirty-six active members at whose hands the Philalethean bids fair to excel all its former records. IctiVe JMembers of PKilaletKear Society. OFFICERS. Lue Boggs, President.

Motto — Studete Litems. TN January of 1881, a portion of the members of the Irving Society formed themselves into an alliance, then known as the Purdue Literary Society, and seceded from the ranks of the Irving, their purpose being to organize a new literary society, the secession being caused by a faction fight. The new born society met with considerable opposition and diffi- culty for the first few months of its existence, having no hall in which to meet other than recitation rooms or the library room. The members soon succeeded, however, in organiz- ing themselves under a constitution, based on brotherly love and loyalty to each other ; with the motto, Studete Liter -as and under the name of England ' s greatest author, Carlyle. Thus equipped, they held their regular meetings in the library until the following December, when, through the kindness of the Board of Trustees and the Philalethean So- ciety, they were permitted to share the hall, which the two societies now occupy ; then quite destitute of furniture. The hall has since been elegantly papered and equipped with a complete and costly set of furniture, suitable for a society hall, about seven hundred dollars being expended in decorations. Soon after the society became permanently settled in its new hall, the colors, old gold and carmine, were adopted, and also the golden badge, consisting of a Roman short- sword attached to a cube by a delicate chain. The words Carlyle and 1881, in enameled letters, appearing on the sword. For the past few years her success has heen unri- valed, originality and progressiveness always distinguishing the actions of Carlyle. It was in her halls that the idea of a college paper was first conceived and carried to a successful reality. She was the first to depart from the old routine of society work, and to establish moot courts as a part of each term ' s work. It is the policy of Carlyle to combine literary and social culture, that each may shape the other to a more desirable degree of usefulness, and thus bind the members by closer bonds of friendship than could be accomplished by mere lit- erary work. And she has a membership of which she may be justly proud. The names of James Whitcomb Riley and Lew Wallace, Indiana ' s favorite authors, appear among the honorary members. ctWe J embers of Garl jle Society. OFFICERS. J. W. Parker, President. C. C.

ON the ioth day of January, 1887, a number of the stu- dents assembled and, after a free discussion, decided to organize a new Literary Society. Accordingly, constitution and by-laws were written, accepted by the faculty, and on the 1st day of April, 1887, the organization was completed. The Society has since been prosperous, due to the assistance and friendly feeling of the other societies, to the attention received from the faculty, and to the untiring energy of its members. § Regular weekly meetings as well as customary public entertainments have been given. Our number is steadily on the increase ; the work done, meritorious. Some worship at the shrine of Apollo ; others see beauty in logic and are strong in argument, whilst others are aspiring to be a Demos • thenes or a Cicero, and their stentorian tones can be heard reverberating in the shades of midnight, even the hours of golden morn being resonant with their indistinct echoes. Our hall is peculiarly adapted to the purpose for which it was designed. Every thing in the way of adornment tends to make it a place fit for the most worthy to spend within its walls a few moments of recreation and improvement. As we gaze down the long aisles, bordered by the unique and highly polished chairs, arranged with mathematical precision, but little does Fancy have to spread her magical pinions to appreciate the influences of environment. We have in common a desire for intellectual development, and with little but this to bind us together, each is striving to secure the advantages afforded by such association . At present there is a pleasing prospect before us and a clear record for the past. If our efforts are continued, it is to be hoped that literary programs will be given that must be inter- esting to one and all. Our history is short. There is yet much room for improvement. Each year the Emersonians expect to advance, and hope for still greater things in liter- ary work. OFFICERS. H. A. Gilmore, President. J. H. Little, Vice-President. D. Van Pelt, Secretary. C. M.

Purdue Scientific Society, ON the 2d day of April, 1883, quite a number of the stu- dents of the University organized a society, whose ob- ject was the promotion of scientific investigation in the nat- ural sciences. The society has had as members almost all the professors of the University, and many of the best stu- dents. The monthly programs are interesting and largely at- tended. Six lectures each year are given by noted scientists under the auspices of the society. Also, at the close of each year, a philosophical lecture is given by some distinguished speaker, and a microscopical soiree is held. OFFICERS. A. Goss, President. H. Caraway, Vice-President. F. L.

TN describing the features and institutions of the University it would in no wise be complete without the history of our Students ' Boarding Club. The Club elects each term a President, who prevents excessive riotousness, and cares for the students in general. The students also elect, at the end of each school year, the Landlord for the following year, who generally provides liberally for the $2 a week re- ceived from each member. There are, on an average, forty students thus enjoying repasts, and, under the auspices of our fellow-student, all seem to be perfectly satisfied, and conduct themselves only as a crowd of young men can conduct themselves. Landlord. — Mr. R-l-y, what part of the fowl do you de- sire ? Mr. R-l-y. — Please give me the brachialis anlicus muscle. Landlord. — Have you in preference any piece, Mr. R- -h-s ? Mr. R — h-s. — (Thinking of an analytical problem) Pardonnez moi ; but give me the piece lying at an angle of 45 to the shaft of the femur, intersecting the median line A B at point B.

JKe Ir far tr j, AT the call to arms in September, 1888, an unusually large number of students assembled in the spacious gym- nasium, and while awaiting orders they amused themselves with the various appliances for muscular development. The most prominent, inexpensive and effective of these is known as the space machine. To use it you take hold of the emptiness everywhere suspended from the ceiling, swing back and forth through space a few times, then come down and watch your muscles grow. The results are surprising, but the process is rather exhausting at first, therefore, when the Captain opened the cavernous aperture in his face, and shouted in semi-thunderous tones, Fall in, each instantly relaxed his grip on the emptiness and immediately fell. It was an extremely variegated assemblage, but under the skillful direction of the aesthetic Captain, the company was soon formed into a long tapering line which stretched its weary, crooked length entirely across the hall. All race prejudice was cast aside. Senior and Prep, formed con- secutive points in the line, and three large hay seeds, the first fruits of the Prep. ' s unkempt locks, fell with a dull thud, and lay unnoticed upon the Senior ' s padded shoulder. Not one who viewed the company upon that bright after- noon dreamed that it would ever reach its present state. Not one but must marvel at the transformation. From out that mass of deformed and misshapen humanity has emanated the pride of the University. The first move in the process of evolution was to procure uniforms. The light and dark blue of the regular U. S. army were chosen as the colors, and after an examination of the company by experts, the style of costume as we now see it was decided upon. The mother-hubbard pants were especially designed to cover deformities, and the size was calculated by the following approved formula : X=3 (mean amount of bow in the legs of the company )-+- 3. It has since been discovered that this allowance was rather large, and some of the beau monde of the company have resorted to the expedient of wearing hoops. However, the large ma- jority allow the surplus material to flap idly in the breeze, except in very windy weather, when it interferes seriously with locomotion, and the pants are generally worn close reefed. The cap and blouse are dark blue in color, the lat- ter being well padded wherever there seems to be a lack of man on the interior. The company numbers in all ninety men, including a drum corps, whose music, if we may judge from appearances, is exceedingly hard to beat. An entire new outfit has been procured from the govern- ment, and the commissioned officers are resplendent in nickel and gilt, while each private carries with pride a cadet rifle of the latest make. Under the efficient management of Lieu- tenant Pickering, U. S. A., their drilling has been brought to a high state of perfection, and the precision with which they execute the most intricate movements is marvelous. The offices are all filled, some of them almost to overflow- ing ; and, although it is not generally known, each private ' s chances of promotion have been calculated for the next eight years. According to the latest computation, there is at least one who has no chance whatever in the specified time, and he will probably not wait. r far trvj Battaliorv OFFICERS. S. M.

The Artill ervj. HEN the artillery company, long recognized as one of the crying needs of the University, blossomed into the full vigor of life, and became a roaring reality, the whole college heaved a sigh of relief, which for huge and satisfac- tory proportions was remarkable. Strange to say, no great phenomena in nature heralded the birth of this wonderful organization. No appreciable change of position was noticed among the heavenly bodies, and even the earth itself con- tinued in its customary orbit. The battery was ushered upon the scene of action without ceremony. No clash of arms was heard — as the infantry refused to officiate in that ca- pacity — and, owing to the fact that the University is the pos- sessor of but one bugle, even the usual ' ' flourish of trumpets ' ' was omitted. Without display of any kind, eighteen of Purdue ' s bravest marched boldly to the front and were silently mustered in. Like the infantry, the company at first pre- sented an extremely dilapidated appearance, but when fitted (?) with the regulation uniform the transformation was complete. The uniforms are similar to those of the infantry in all but the stripe which ornaments the pants. This is of a bright red color, and of such size as to cause considerable discussion among the students regarding the relative position of the blue and the red. It certainly is a difficult matter to determine which is the stripe and which the pants, but I have been assured by members of the battery that the blue pre- dominates. Two cannons have been secured from the government, but, unluckily, they are not large enough to permit of any practice in the interesting and exciting movement known as march- ing into the cannon ' s mouth; however, we are confident that the boys have the requisite amount of courage, and only lack facilities. Officers and privates are alike provided with sabers. These are of the latest pattern, and are constructed more for utility than beauty of appearance. When not engaged in dangling at the side of the wearer, they are worn drawn. In this position they resemble closely an old-fashioned scythe, from which they are probably descendants. The artillery company have several times appeared before the public, and have always covered themselves with glory and dirt, the latter being predominant. While the organiza- tion is not perfect in all respects, there are but few things we could wish changed. The members would probably attract less attention on the streets if their resemblance to the Sal- vation Army was not so striking, and we would suggest that, if possible, the red stripe be hereafter restricted within nar- rower limits.

THERE is nothing new under the sun ' So said one of the world ' s sages, reflecting upon the wonders of na- ture, but he spoke not with wisdom and saw not with the eyes of a Purdue student. Here in our own college we have perhaps the one exception. So distinct is it from all known species that our most able scientists, after months of study and close application to the subject, have failed to provide for it a suitable name. For want of a better we shall call it the Co-Ed. Cadet Corps, which term, though it does not ex- press the full significance of the organization, will no doubt be sufficiently suggestive for our purpose. The military spirit, so contagious during the first part of the year, could not be confined to the north part of the cam- pus, and, regardless of rules to the contrary, it crossed the line and invaded the sacred precincts on the south. The Co-Ed. Cadet Corps was accordingly organized and in a short time a wonderful change was observed in the appearance of all members of the company. When standing still they in- variablv assumed the position of a soldier, and when walking, adhered closely to the tactics. There was no dif- ficulty in recognizing them. They refrained from swinging their arms, carried the head erect and chin in, allowed their eyes to strike the ground fifteen yards in front ' ' stepped out with a full thirty-inch step and were closely observant of all other rules. The students were allowed to get used to the new regime before the Corps appeared in their uniforms, else I verily believe the shock would have proved fatal to some of the more sensitive. The less that is said about this uniform the more will be left for others to say, and ye editor, being desirous of retain- ing as much of his hair as possible, will refrain from making any unnecessary remarks on the subject. The dress is built upon a commodious plan and as a work of art is unsurpassed. The college colors are harmoniously blended in it, and the effect is unique, artistic and startling. Each cadet is provided with a pair of ten-pound dumb- bells, which constitute the only weapons used. It was thought best to adopt something in the dumb line to prevent unnec- essary conversation. Visitors are excluded from the drill- room, so it is impossible to know much of the work they are doing ; but it is rumored that great skill has already been acquired in the use of the dumb-bells. They can be hurled with great force and precision, and in the hands of a prac- ticed cadet they are no mean weapon. In all probability they will soon supersede the paternal ancestor and his boot- jack as an ejector of unwelcome suitors. ' Tis a consumma- tion devoutly to be wished. Ah r Ukletics. He doth allot for every exercise A sev ' ral hour; for sloth, the nurse of vices And rust of action, is a stranger to him. College Colors : Black and Old Gold. COMMITTEE ON FIELD SPORTS. C. E.

DIRECTIONS. N the preceding page the reader will notice a beautiful picture. Holding it up where the light can strike it in a subdued manner and degree, and at about twelve (12) or thirteen (13) feet from the eye, at the same time in a vertical position, the fullest and most favorable aspect is obtained. Seated at the extreme right, glorying in the proud possession of several chains on his immaculate front, and, also, in the possession of a debonair attitude, is Mr. Royse, our poker editor. Comfortably and diagonally placed in front of Mr. Royse is our Bill Nye — Mr. Saltmarsh. An intellectual shine suffuses his features, throwing a gleam of glowing brightness on the table in front. Since seeing the intellectual shine, Mr. S. has been shining ever since. Standing in the rear, and slightlv stooping, as if he had dropped something, is our po- etical Editor-in-chief, Mr. Lotz. We endeavored to secure a shine for Mr. Lotz, but, unfortunately, were unable to do so. Next to Mr. Lotz is seated Mr. Crowell, our snake editor, calmly surveying the little bird provided by the artist. Mr. Crowell ' s eye has the appearance of being blacked, but this was produced by a deplorable conspiracy on the part of the camera and the sunlight, and could not be prevented. The gentleman pointing to his nose with his little finger is our orator, Mr. Jones. This is Mr. Jones — not the Jones you know. Imagine a much handsomer man, and you have the mental image of Mr. Jones. Next, to the extreme left, hav- ing his picture taken, is Mr. Caraway. Besides the high col- lar worn by our genial friend Caraway, he also wears the expression so often seen on his classic face when the dealer says: Here, Caraway, take that ace out of your sleeve. The picture flatters him greatly, but, then, of course you know he can ' t help that. Next to our romantic looking ed- itor, Mr. Caraway, is our birdy editor, Mr. McCutcheon, clutching his scissors firmly in his left hand and gazing in- tently at a point about fifteen feet to the left. The book he is pretending to dissect is a copy of the Old Testament, for which the editors desire to tender thanks to the photo- grapher for the use of it. Post Qraduates, ' 88 ' 9. RESIDENT.

Freshmen trousers are worn through the entire season ; those of the Sophomores are also often worn through. The elite of the dormitory no longer wear their slippers when going to breakfast. Military pants may be worn decollete this season. This enables the wearer to display the diamond pin in his shirt front. It is considered in bad form to take a young lady to the opera house when the tickets cost more than fifty cents apiece. Street cars are regarded as more aufait than cabs. A neglige breakfast costume is popular with the waiters at the boarding hall. Suits which are left in soak during the winter are liable to shrink before spring. It is considered in poor taste at the Morley Club to eat with a knife. In the boarding hall or clubs, do not walk leisurely to the table, but endeavor to be served first. Any delay in this par- ticular is invariably attended by an unsatisfactory and limited meal. Never fail to offer your seat to a lady — if you are cer- tain there is another chair unoccupied. It is now regarded as perfectly proper to leave the Ladies ' Hall reception room when the 10 o ' clock bell rings. Upon escorting a young Purdue girl to her home, the gentleman should ask permission to call on her the next day, which request she should grant. This may be continued as long as the old gentleman permits. It is in bad taste to per- sist in calling after having been thrown out more than once by the familiar father. At balls and dancing parties, where the young ladies wear light costumes, it is best for the gentlemen to provide them- selves with umbrellas to guard against rain. If the street car track is some distance from the house of the lady, and the gentleman has no umbrella, it is in good form to become sud- denly ill, sending word to the young lady the next morning. It is considered diplomacy to send your soup plate for re- filling at least three times. A peculiar gratification attends the rigid adherence to this rule. You may with propriety respond to a notice to appear be- fore the Faculty. If a young lady refuses to accompany you some place, do not endeavor to show her why she is wrong in not so doing, or tell her what she will miss by not going. Nothing is so aggravating to a girl as to be compelled to go some place with one she has refused several times. Remarks about death at the table are not regarded as recherche. Should some one inquire of the host if the oysters were dead, you should facetiously turn the conversation, laughing heartily all the time. It is in good form to throw water on your friends in the dormitory. fat. ANY publication intended to give the character and char- ts acteristics of life at Purdue would be incomplete did it make no mention of Pat. You are all so familiar with him that he needs no introduction. Coming to Purdue in its infancy, he has ever since been intimately connected with the institution, and has seen it develop in a few short years from an insignificant little college to a powerful university, whose influence for good is being felt throughout our land. Since Pat came, Presidents have come and gone, Faculties have fulfilled their duties and have passed away : great changes have been wrought in all the departments, yet he still abides with us. No doubt we could get along nicely without the Faculty — in fact never miss them — but we could ill afford to lose Pat. Year after year, summer and winter, rain and shine, he may be seen with bucket, duster and broom, putting the rooms of the various buildings in proper order. No mat- ter how hard the work, the same cheery smile adorns his face; no matter who it is, Pat is always ready to relate some pleasing and pointed anecdote. He is among the first whom the new student meets when he enters Purdue, and one of the last whom he bids good-bye when leaving. He is one of those whole-souled, jolly sons of Erin, who has the ability of commanding respect from all, and we feel safe in saying that among the students he has never made an enemy and never lost a friend. Others may wear more dudish cut- aways, some may adorn their necks with higher collars, some may sing more sweetly, and some may even waltz more gracefully, but none have as many friends among all classes of students, and none are as trusted by the powers that be. Pat, as our college days are over, and we are about to begin life ' s work, ' 89 desires to thank you for the many times that you have so kindly allowed us to escape on Hallowe ' ens. That you may live long, and that your last days maybe your very best days, is the wish of the class of ' 8o. Sacred to the Memory of The J ird je. TRANGER, pause and bow thy head in sorrow. ' Tis sacred ground whereon you tread. Here He the re- mains of our once-loved and much lamented friend, The Purdue. Born at the time of its birth, in ' 81, it had, at its death, lived seven long and useful years. During these years it nobly withstood the storms of adversity, and continued to grow in beauty and in grace. But in the midst of life we are in death. As our favorite was entering upon the eighth year of its happy life, a discovery was made which robbed us of our darling. The Faculty, in their paternal watchful- ness, made the startling discovery that The Purdue ' had a very weak constitution, and that those who had been so tenderly watching over it for a year had acted very inju- diciously in administering food to this child of wisdom (the food was of a stronger nature than its stomach could bear). They at once set about to remedy the disease, which they did in a very effectual manner. After killing four of the nurses, they administered a powerful sedative to the patient, and began the delicate and difficult operation of revision of the constitution. The operation was a successful one, so far as the revision was concerned, but our darling awoke not. It had gone to join the silent majority of magazines in that happy clime where constitutions area burden and Fac- ulties are unknown. Ar Irxcidervt. There were present at most Seven Seniors, a Post, And a Prof, who killed time as it flew ; And he looked very wise From his wide-open eyes, But I don ' t think he meant it, do you? Not a whisper was heard, Not a whisker was stirred By the soft wind that swept the room through For the Prof, cast a gloom O ' er the entire drawing-room, | But I don ' t thing he meant it, do you ? A fair form and sweet face In the door takes its place, And soon the sly Prof, is there too ; And he dropped one eyelid While he smiled, yes he did, But I don ' t think he meant it, do you? Soon they wandered away, Though to where I can ' t say, For the walls hid the twain from our view; Somewhat later they sped Down the walk, and he said (?) But I don ' t think he meant it, do you? To her buggy they came And the Prof, acquired fame In the eyes of the whole Senior crew ; For to help her he placed His strong arm round her waist, But I don ' t think he meant it, do you?

T ARLY in the history of the Univer- r x® sity a few students met, and with- out any flourish of trumpets or beating of drums decided to study, by way of rec- reation and profit, (±) that department of the science of wealth known as exchange. Being intensely patriotic, they chose the American game of ' ' Poker. ' ' At this time the founders of the club fell into a very common error, and thought money was wealth ; they have since found that ex- perience and an alibf were equally desirable. No display being made, and no records being kept, this organization did not attract the attention from the powers that were that it deserved. But, finally, at the instance of one who had exchanged specie for experience, the Faculty investigated the workings of the club. The testimony taken showed that two-thirds of the witnesses examined, mostly guests of the club, were about even, while the other third, members of the club, were a little ahead. This, in the opinion of the powers, was entirely opposed to the orth- odox system, and, therefore, the club was suppressed. But Truth crushed to earth will rise again, and the club is in a flourishing condition. The only drawback which mars the enjoyment of its meetings is that mischievous abuses of credit ' ' ' have arisen. The following is a list of members (it will be noticed that ' 89, as usual, fills several offices) : RESIDENT. [Too numerous to mention.] IN THE FACULTY.

Tke Eigktk Seal of Rev elatior . J HERE is no evidence so convincing as true prophecy re- vealed. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath under- standing count the number of the year, for it is the number of the year of a generation of men, sages, sports, philoso- phers and preachers, and their number is written with two digits. If to the second, times itself, the first be added, the number is equaled, and if to the year thrice the number of the propheciers of the Fathers of Israel be added, the digits are reversed. Those who foretold the coming of Isaac were three, hence thrice their number equals nine ; the necessary known term for the solution : Let x= the digit in ten ' s place. Letjy= the digit in unit ' s place. Then y 2 - -x=iox-{-y (i) and iox+y- -g=ioy- -x (2) 9y—9 x =9 (3) y— =i (4) X =y— l (5) from(i)jy 2 — y=gx=gy — 9 (6) J ' — 5=4 (9) V=9 .-.x=S Hence the number is 89, and the truth of the prophecy is established. to y -t- ! .5 -t— i rC CO CO CO Jt5 O fl ? : . 5 3 6 co • «2 ' £ D M E M c 1 §£ .si • as i ° ?|-S «||g It-Sg as fit -5 £ §.

IT 0 O 2 CD be O 0 TUorth upon the raging Wabash, ft On the shining river water, With their baskets heavy laden Brimming full the wicker baskets, There once sailed out on a morning, On a soft and happy morning, A big band of jolly students In the gallant steamer Eussell. ' T was the picnic of the Soph ' mores, Eighteen eighty-nine the class was, And behold ! they now were sailing, Sailing on the festive steamer, Straight out in the turbid current With the prow toward the southland, With the destination Black-Rock. Gay the crowd and jolly were they, For their hearts with joy were throbbing, For their eyes with pleasure sparkled As the steamer speeding onward, Plowed the stream in dancing billows, Threw the spray far out behind her. Rising, sinking on the billows Without pausing, without kicking, Onward sailed the gallant steamer, Till Lafayette was disappearing, Till her domes and lofty towers, Down behind the hills were sinking, Till the hum of city bustle With the wind was gently mingled. Far in front and down the river, Glimmering through a vail of shimmer, Hazy by the heated vapor, There appeared the distant hill lands Purpled by the maze of distance, Blending off into the azure Of the unflecked dome above them. And behind them on the billows, One long track and trail of splendor Rippled lightly as they sped on, Dancing in the sunshine gayly ; On the shores grew banks of flowers, On the air exhaling perfume That was wafted on the soft breeze To the throbbing steamer Russell. Southward thus they sailed exulting, They, the gay and festive Sophomores, The great class of ' 89 did, With their friends, their heart companions, On the steamer there beside them Bent on pleasures and on feasting, Bent on lightsome fun and frolic, Thus they steamed toward the Black Rock Fifteen miles below the city. You shall hear of what they then did, How they fared throughout the voyage , Of the mishaps that beset them, Of the tough luck that they had then. You will hear the trick the boat played And the horse play of the Soph ' mores, Besides some more refreshments That I now will tell thee straightway. Only list, and I will tell thee. As the steamer Russell floated Downward on the rapid current, There was gaiety upon her, Merriment among the Sophomores, Who were dancing with a vigor In the mazes of the war-dance ; Swinging also in the hammocks With their sweet and winsome maidens, Pouring taffy in their earlets ; In the earlets of the maidens ; Shooting out toward the shoreland With their little Flobert rifles, Shooting Jaspers who were bathing In the water near the shoreland. And some sat upon the gunwales Chewing gum called tutti frutti, Watching those engaged in dancing, Or else talking of the weather. In the middle of the vessel, (In the barge the part back farthest,) Stood a barrel full of water, Water mixed with ice and lemons, Put there for the gallant Soph ' mores To get full when they were thirsty. At the helm wheel of the vessel Stood the sable-bearded pilot, With his mouth full of tobacco, And his eyes with apprehension, For he looked down at the Soph ' mores Crowding round that mammoth barrel, Crowding round it by the dozens, Yelling wildly for the dipper, And he spoke then very softly, Said the steamer would go under, Said the weight around the barrel Would capsize her sure as thunder. And he spoke unto the Soph ' mores Telling them just what would happen, But they told him he was crazy, Full of burning fire water ; Told him to get off the world Or they ' d throw him in the water, Quickly throw him in the water. Then they went on with their horse play Just as if no one had spoken, Just as if nothing had happened. But as all on board were happy, As the dancing very gay was, Just as things were coming smoothly, The old steamer, the old Russell, In a manner quite erratic, Seemed to think we were at Black Rock, To think everything did not go ; For she there began to tremble, Straight began to shake and tremble, And they felt it rising, rising, Slowly through the air ascending, Paused a moment, but a moment, Then plunged down into the water, Down in the river plunged she. Oozing, oozing, ever oozing, Came the water through the bottom, Came the water quite presumptious Up into the rotten Russell. Quickly all was hurry-scurry, A mad scene of havoc awful — Maidens wildly running hither, Skirts and ribbons circulating Through the atmosphere around them. Everything was quite chaotic. Some jumped out into the water, Others sank upon the wet deck Praying for some kindly succor To come down unto their rescue, Save them from a death untimely, Save them from a grave liquidous. Still some others not of death thought, Quite ignored the golden stairway, But felt sad because the baskets, The big baskets full of free lunch, Had been saturated badly With the dirty river water, With the muddy river water. Then Joker Hill, whose sable lilacs In the south wind wildly fluttered, Got his crew of boatmen gathered In the life-boats of the steamer, Softly laughed and softly gurgled, Pushed off from the rotten Russell, Said good-bye to none on board her, But straight started up the river, Up the river to the city ; And the waters softly rippled, Laved the low and barren shoreland, And the wind up from the marshes, From the meadows and the timber, Came unto them sad and sighing, And bore with it mournful singing, Coming from the woodland far. But at last the gallant Sophomores Their wandering wits recovered, Got their saturated baskets And sprang out upon the sand-banks. Then the sun, the golden warrior, Through the sky was swiftly sailing, Throwing hot and burning arrows Down upon the wrathy Sophomores. Ploughed ground upon their right lay, On their left there rolled the river, To the south lay marshy jungles, i To the north was weedy woodland. To their right the only way was, To go elsewhere would be foolish. Then two messengers they sent out O ' er the sea of rolling furrows ; Sent them out to reconnoitre — Out to find the railroad station, Or to find some country Jasper Who had wagons for to haul them, Haul them o ' er the sea of furrows, Haul them to the railroad station. They for hours onward journeyed Without resting, without pausing, Over fences, over ditches, Meeting every tribulation, On the rocky road they traveled. Thus they journeyed, till before them Rose a modest country farm-house, Almost covered from the sunlight By the vines that clung around it, By the rose and morning-glory That around it hung so thickly. At the gate there stood a farmer, Stood a very aged Teuton Who looked on them with suspicion, Who regarded them with wonder. Him they told of all their troubles, Of the steamer, of the water ; Told him all about the furrows And the heavy laden baskets; Asked him to come out and take them To the nearest railroad station; Told him that they all would pay him Anything that he requested. So he said that he would do it, Would be ready in a minute, Told them to await there for him, Said he ' d hurry and get ready. So he got his sons and daughters And his wife and hired servants, Hitched up all his buggies, wagons; Started out toward the steamer; All the Sophomores were discovered Just exactly as they left them, Sitting ' round upon the sand-banks, Dancing on the sunken Russell, Giving taffy to the maidens And occasionally kicking. The old farmer, the old Teuton, Hauled them out toward the station, Got them out into the ploughed ground And then struck them for his money ; Said his bill was forty dollars; Said that he would have no kicking, But that all must pay their money. Then the Soph ' mores cussed him wildly, Told him that they ' d never pay him, Said that they ' d get out and walk first, Swore they ' d only give him twenty. But he said his wheat was planted On the sea of furrows round them, And that he would prosecute them If they ' d trample on the ploughed ground. So they saw the case was ground-hog, That they ' d have to pay the Teuton Or be taken to the Kussell. So they paid him very sadly And rode onward wrapped in silence ; Kode onward to the station, Where they got out softly cussing And awaited for the special, •Which was ordered from the city. Upward through the evening twilight, Rose the silver disc of Luna, And the air was white with moonlight As they waited, softly waited, For the special that they longed for. And the hours were swiftly fleeting, Every minute it grew later. But at last, about at midnight, Came the special on the Wabash, Which they had telegraphed for, And which now they quickly boarded, Boarded happy, sleepy, tired, Said good night and soon were sleeping. mfiy 0iU ' Preps, pass.

The same mean height above the sea level is noticeable, and can not escape observation even by a stranger. This is one of the features that render the landscapes so attractive to the numerous visitors. The land is high, which is in harmony with the minds of those living there ; also, dry, another char- acteristic possessed by many of the natives. Journeying westward from Lafayette the traveler crosses the Wabash river. This beautiful stream is one of great renown. Its waters are clear and translucent. The traveler may pause here for a short time, watching the sparkling waters slowly flow over the 40th parallel, and dancing ever onward, it at last dances lightly over the horizon into the distance. After a wearisome ascent of the low stretch of table-land that lies in the west land, the traveler is greeted by a fresh gust of wind. This he will immediately recognize as coming from Purdue, chiefly by its freshness, and, to a certain extent, by its windiness. If provided with a cane and a good serviceable guide-book, the rest of his journey may be traversed with perfect ease. If any difficulty is en- countered in finding Purdue, the observance of the following direction will obviate it: After leaving the confines of Chauncey, and traveling westward, the traveler will notice a group of buildings on the right hand side of the road. If this group does not contain among them a tine, large and ele- gantly equipped gymnasium, it is Purdue. If it does, how- ever, it is not Purdue. Around the University an air of re- finement prevails, which is very gratifying. Over the University there constantly hangs a delightful and fragrant, as well as useful, atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen, also very gratifying. To the extreme south is the gravel road. Some thirty yards south of this is the United States Experi- ment Station, where they experiment with mother Nature. To the far north, looking out over an expanse of ploughed landscape, broken here and there by smiling forest land and laughing brooklets, stands the fencing hall, guard house, of- ficers ' headquarters, and the soldier factory. Surrounding these buildings are beautiful trees, rising into regions of per- petual air. Between the officers ' headquarters and the experiment sta- tion are the college buildings, grouped artistically around a two-sided rectangle, constructed for that purpose. Compris- ing the college buildings are University hall, Art hall, Engine house, Mechanical hall, Dormitory for young men, Physical and Chemical laboratory, Pierce Conservatory, two spaces shortly to be occupied by the projected chapel and Electrical hall, besides many beautiful minor features, too beautiful to mention. In front of University hall — the largest and most imposing of the group — there nestles down in the smooth bosom of the extensive lawn, almost buried in dewy grass, the college tennis courts. Here is where the members of the various tennis clubs spring lightly into the air and deftly ham- mer the tennis balls out into the hazy purple of distance. Hard by is the last resting place of John Purdue, our bene- factor, whose body, since his death in 1876, has serenely re- posed within the shades of the many buildings created by his munificence. What could be more appropriate and fitting? CHAPTER II. THE PEOPLE CHARACTERISTICS, CUSTOMS, MANNERS — ALSO, LACK OF MANNERS. An ordinary, every-day resident of this world, dropped suddenly into the twenty-acre campus of Purdue, would doubtless soon encounter many things of an extremely inter- esting nature. Happily, most of those dropped into the campus are decidedly out of the ordinary one way or the other. The first thing the stranger would notice is that while the students vary somewhat in height, nearly all of them are short, especially during commencement week. This fact was gleaned from an interview with the lady who dispenses brain food at the nominal rate of $2.50 per week. Equally strange is the fact that in this center of learning there should be marked cannibalistic tendencies, in other words, the inhab- itants live on each other. When a resident receives a letter containing a pink slip, which bears certain desirable figures, he is marked as a victim, and his greedy companions pounce upon him and live on him until some newer and more desir- able victim presents himself. Frequently one victim will last five or six cannibals for one whole week. It is not known when this strange custom was introduced, but it is now gen- erally practiced. RACE DIVISIONS. The Purdueites are a branch of the Aryan race, and rep- resent the ultimate development of that division, being a com- plex mixture of the Slav, Celt, Saxon, Star, Chump, etc., etc. They combine the capacity of the German with the intellectual vigor of the ancient Roman, and the untamed exuberance of the modern cow-boy. Some remote connec- tion with the North American Indian is also indicated by the prominent cheek which most of the inhabitants keep with them in case of an emergency. LANGUAGE. A majority of the people speak English ; others say have saw and neyether. The Hoosier dialect is spoken by a small division of the people known as elocutionists, or would-be-Riley ' s. A mighty effort is being made to graft the French and German languages into the parent stock. The experiment is being performed on the young ladies of the tribe, and several of them can now quickly master a French play — when assisted by a complete translation. The introduction of German is found difficult, from the fact that it is impossible to produce the gutteral sound while chewing gum. The dead languages at Purdue are not only very dead, but are also buried and partially decomposed. Periodi- cal attempts at resurrection and resuscitation are made, but to all appearances these attempts will continue to be fruitless. The language used in the physical laboratory at times is very peculiar, and is similar to that employed by the unlucky Purdueite who gets exempted in all studies except one, the mark in that being 84 per cent., and waits three days for an examination. SOCIAL CUSTOMS. Purdue is exerting itself to break away from the arbitrary rules that have held modern society in their thraldom. The tendency is toward unfettered informality, the only obstacle being an occasional interference by an unfeeling Faculty. The usual mode of salutation among the young ladies is an earnest osculation, producing a sound similar to that made by pulling a fence-post out of soft clay. Among the male portion the salutation is either a slight inclination of the head or a vacant stare in an opposite direction. The home life of the Purdueite is simplicity itself— a few books, a cheerful steam heater, a flickering gas jet, a homelike table, four chairs, some choice theatrical and cigarette lithographs on the walls, and, in some cases, a trunk. And their little exis- tence is rounded off with sleep. In speaking of the social customs at Purdue, it might be well to state that the author is the first to work in this field, as it was not known until re- cently that such things existed at the place. AMUSEMENTS AND RECREATIONS. The principal forms of amusement at Purdue are : hearts, newmarket, whist, going out calling, tulu, ten-cent shows, Happy Hollow, Tecumseh ' s Trail, Y. M. C. A., high teas, poker, tennis, chapel, etc. It will thus be seen that Purdue with all its vaunted intellectuality is not entirely given over to integral and differential calculus or the theory of unconscious cerebration. The form of recreation known as push is very popular with mathematicians, involving as it does various phases of the great theory of chance. Others, who have no reputation as mathematicians, occa- sionally trifle with the game, and afterward, in calmer mo- ments, regret it exceedingly. DRESS. Several styles of dress are in vogue at Purdue, there be- ing no established fashion. One of the prettiest as well as most picturesque costume is that worn by many of a clan known as Freshmen. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. A description would only confuse the reader. The young men in the dormitory during the study hours are generally attired in a very witty manner, brevity being wit. RELIGION. The Purdueites are a very devout set, attending services every morning at 10: 15. Nothing could be more certainly indicative of the religious fervor of the people than the haste with which they obey the summons to this morning worship. They often push and crowd each other in a frantic manner in order to gain admission to the chapel before the choir sings. In ancient times it was the custom to go up on the highest mountains to hold services. Purdue has no mount- ain, but the top floor of a large building forms a very good substitute.
