WE submit this second number of the DEBRIS to our friends with all the modesty that it is possible for Seniors to assume. Our aim has been to make this an Annual for everybody in the University, so we have sent out our press-gang, who have laid contribution on all, from the dignified Professor to the giddy Prep. With the modesty aforementioned, all we ask of you is to duly appreciate everything that it contains. Daniel L. Dorsey, BUSINESS MANAGER. Cora Lacy, Willard C. Fitzer, Marry A. Gilmore, o Laura I.

At that time Purdue was an insignificant institution scarcely deserving to be called a college. Two small buildings were all that had been erected, students were few, and professors were discouraged. The long-prevailing idea that a classical education was the education, and all others useless—that artisans and mechanics need know little else than that which practice taught them was difficult to overthrow. Industrial schools were an experiment which the great majority of educators said must fail. Time has proven these to be erroneous, and though but few years have intervened since Purdue had its existence, they have been sufficient to see it develop into one of the leading colleges in the West. The National Congress passed an act in 1862 donating certain public lands to such States as would establish colleges for the development of agriculture, science, and art. At this time the Rebellion was the all-absorbing theme, and legislators and educators had little time to devote to anything save the safety of the Nation. Thus, nothing was done by her State regarding the donation until 1865, when the Indiana Legislature accepted I he national grant and appointed a board of trustees, to take charge of the lands, amounting to 390000 acres. This land the trustees sold for $212,000, which sum has since been increased to $350,000. In 1867, John Purdue, a wealthy citizen of Lafayette, Indiana, donated 8150,000 to the prospective university. In honor of the donor of this gift, the institution was named Purdue University, and was to be located in the village of Ghauucy, one mile west of the city of Lafayette. Since that time gifts and endowments have been added to the original fund until the University has now an annual income of $05,000. Richard Owen was elected to be first President of the college, but resigned before it was opened. Professor A. C. Shortridge succeeded him, and the Uni versify was formally opened in September, 1874. Professor Shortridge resigned in December, 1875, and Professor E. E. White, of Ohio, was chosen as his successor. Under his guidance a new impetus was given the college affairs, and from that time on the success of Purdue University was an established fact. Professor White resigned his position in 1883, and was succeeded bv Professor James D. Smart, ex-State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Since Dr. Smart began the directing of affairs at Purdue, it has acquired a reputation second to none among the industrial institutions of the land. The nine college buildings, the beautiful campus, the equipments of the Chemical, Physical, Electrical, Mechanical, Pharmaceutical, and Biological, Laboratories are equal to any in the State. The enrollment of students this year will exceed half a thousand. Every week sees some valuable additions to the different departments. Purdue University is an industrial institution in the fullest sense of the term. The founders of the college believed that much which is termed education unfits rather than fits men and women for the practical affairs of life. That far too much valuable time is minted in studying languages which centuries ago were dead, and histories containing far more fancies than facts. That the object of an education should fit a man to tight life’s battle successfully, come what may—to increase his usefulness to himself and others. That his first duty is to take care of himself-—1 he self-respecting, and, therefore, self-supporting. That every one should he instructed in some useful art. “ Educate his hands, ns well as his head,” “ Teach him to deal with things as they are—life as it is,” “ The more real education, the less crime, the purer homes, the truer men ” are the foundation principles upon which Purdue University is reared. Time has proven that her benefactors, “ Budded wisely and well.” 1 he high and responsible positions which her graduates are filling all over onr land prove the success of the experiment. Purdue stands to-day a living monument to her own usefulness. Judging her future by the past, it seems brigl,l� indeed. acuity J. H SMART, A. M., LL. D., Pkesidbjct.

VK would hanllv recognize in the dignified group of young men who occupy the front seats in the Opera House, where we can see the bald spot gradually enlarging on the top of their heads, to whom the rest of the audience point with pride and say to you, “ Yes, those young men in the front seats in dress suits are Purdue Seniors;’’ as I said, we would hardly recognize in those young men the youths who in ’86 meandered sorrowfully across the campus, and were ready, when squeezed, to Mpieuk “mamma.” But they are, and occasionally one of them will squeak “mamma” yet. The same audience will say to you that the young ladies who accompany them arc also Purdue Seniors. After their entrance into the University, they very soon realized that in union was strength, this realization being helped a great deal by a few of them being plucked at the national game by the wicked Sophomores at the Dorm. They elected a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and marshal. The lir.st three were elected for their general watchfulness, the treasurer to keep the money collected from the class, and the marshal to watch the treasurer. About this time we selected a hat; you all know our mortar-board. The incomplete instinct of the not wholly ovoluted class who preceded us prompted one of them to steal one, and in a manner perfectly consistent with such a monkey trick, climb the nearest pole and hang it on a wire. When discovered by a ’lit), who, not having the prehensile extremities of him who hung it there, was unable to climb the pole, and as he was a Freshman, his arms were still loo short to embrace it and “shinny” up. But though lacking reach, he had brains, and lie whispered to himself, “Johnny, get your gun.” The hat humbly came down without waiting for him to shoot. Another incident of this year was the picnic of the Sophomores, in which, as one would expect, the boat carrying the pleasure-seekers was wrecked before reaching the grounds. The incident was made memorable to us because one of the fairest members of our class left ns to reward one of the brave rescuers of the party with her hand. In this happy and eventful way passed our Freshman year. The most notable incident of our Sophomore year was our attendance at the odorous Junior entertainment, which can Ik best chronicled in the words of the President, when he said, “You are the best class that ever entered the University, the best class, the very best class-but you will each get three marks.” Our Sophomore picnic was very similar to the tactics of the famous General who marched up a bill and then marched down again. As Juniors our entertainment will be looked back to by succeeding classes for its great literary merits. The gas brought in by some members of another class proved even lighter than they had calculated; they were not heavy enough to hold it down, so went up with it. The events of this year arc so recent that it seems almost unnecessary to speak of them ; like the poor they are still with us. Our literary ability lias developed so enormously that it is impossible that one small class can contain it all. Of our banquets, stag parties, and dove parties it is unnecessary to speak ; they are still in our midst. Hut our Valentine banquet will always be a red letter day in our annals. Following the advice of our motto, we are now looking to the end. ei s ©[ Eleiss o f ’90. Frederick Paul Anderson, . M South Bend. Lue Lawrence Boggs, I W Lafayette. Laura Burton, I . Dayton.

They had been attracted from their mothers’ bosoms, and fathers’ paternal care by the numerous catalogues which the Faculty had scattered throughout our glorious land. It was not long until they became acquainted with one another and began to-look with derision upon tin Professors and other lofty personages, whose sole purpose seemed to he to make their lives a misery. After many meetings and many warm discussions over parliamentary laws, their constitution was adopted, and they were placed upon the solid foundation from which their present lofty height has been attained. Miss Edith Hull was elected President, and had the honor of being the first to hold that high position. Surely the members of this class are very studious, for they carried their eye-glasses, white gloves,and newspapers into the gallery on the night of the Junior Ex. of 89, ami read very diligently throughout the whole performance, being careful to turn the paper very gently when necessary, so as not to disturb the speaker. The Faculty were very proud of them for showing this disposition to learn, and informed them of the fact if they kept on at the present rate they would soon know enough to go home and remain there indefinitely. The earth moved on; the sun crossed the vernal equinox ; and nothing remarkable happened, until one morning the astonished Sophs, saw hanging upon the telegraph wire “An Ideal Soph.,” with remnants of their Freshmen mortar-board and Junior entertainment regalia. The blame was thrown on ’91, and the reputation of this class rapidly advanced. Even the Seniors deigned to look at them, and many a Prep, was heard to say, “Oh! why am I not like Unto thee, mighty and powerful ’91.” (This is still the wail of the class of ’92.) 'Flic physical powers of ’91 were put to a test on class day, but they were equal to the occasion, and carried off four honors, out of eleven, among them being the mile race and the tug of war. Vacation glided by like a fantastic dream; September came once more, and ’91 entered Purdue as Sophomores, one step higher on the ladder of knowledge. They were often heard to sigh,and looked with disgust upon those who had filled the vacant places they had occupied the year before. The fall and winter terms of this year were spent in diligent Study, and spring came again, with its birds and flowers. Faint rumors of a Soph, picnic were afloat, but nothing definite was known until the month of May. Things at last came to a culmination and seventeen happy couples boarded the train and rolled away to Portland Arch. Here they were permitted to ga .e upon the lovely scenery of the Wabash, and enjoy themselves as only picnickers know how, although the heavens at times opened its batteries upon them, compelling them to retire from the field, dripping with water. Rut the picnic was a grand success, and will long be remembered at Purdue as a glimpse of sunshine which shone through the dark drudgery of college life. It was not long until it was announced from the college platform that the Juniors were to give a purely literary entertainment. ’91, never shrinking from duty, appeared in the gallery, as they had done the year before, but this time with paper bags, in which they removed the Junior wind as rapidly as it escaped. The Faculty gave them six rewards of merit for this. (Ten of these rewards give a student a picture card and a pass home for vacation.) As usual, this year ’01 covered herself with glory on class day, and started home for the summer vacation fully satisfied with her past year’s work. The great event of the following year was the Junior Kx., which came ofl on the 13th of March, with all the brevity and characteristics of this most original class. The lower classmen had many schemes afloat: the performers were to he kidnaped ; rotten eggs were to he thrown through the windows; the gas was to he turned off; and a thousand others equally intelligent. But the Juniors knew better than to cast their pearls before swine, and on this eventful night in March, when the audience were expecting them to appear, there slowly rolled from the transoms two curtains, one of which announced the fact that the entertainment was indefinitely post } oned. The performers had disappeared, and were snugly seated in their cabs, rolling away to the city of Lafayette. Our class at present numbers thirty-eight, many having left us to battle in the world for themselves. It will be but a short time until we follow them, but we will always point with pride to the fact that we belong to one of the greatest classes that ever entered Purdue. er� s o Gloss o[ 91.

Sergeant-at-Arms. pisfopy ®f fljz £l ass ©f ON the 6th of September, 1888, there appeared upon Purdue’s campus a small army of strangers, not “To tarry for the night,” but to stay. Such an appearance, at such a time, was nothing unusual, but this one was especially ominous, and the omen was good—Purdue’s future was assured. She at once assumed the dignity of the title, “ Indiana Institute of Technology,” the Legislature made a liberal appropriation, and the trustees immediately laid plans for the erection of the new Electrical Laboratory. Who are they who have brought with them such good fortune? A group of Indiana’s best sons and daughters, in an active crusade against ignorance. Coming to the work with zeal and determination, clear heads and honest hearts their first year’s work was remarkably successful, and though often the subject of ridicule and malicious invective, they moved complacently on toward that high intellectual plane which was beyond the reach of their envious assailants. Through natural ability, untiring effort, and pleasant demeanor they won their way to the hearts of the Faculty, who passed the most pleasing compliments upon the class as a whole, besides bestowing a few individual favors in the way of “indefinite” vacations in the last term of Freshman year. These, however, were only given as special rewards of merit. (It is unnecessary to say that the boys, with that courtesy for which the class is noted, accepted the favors very gracefully.) It is conceded that Sophomores ( au rally are a good combination of conceit and ignorance, but ’92 lias proved an exception to the rule. Beside carrying the highest average standing and some of the highest individual grades, the class has displayed remarkable modesty, and has made no boasts which were unwarranted, nor threats which were unexecuted, and though considerate of the rights of others has not allowed her own to be trampled upon. Her relations with the other classes have been very pleasant, those with the present Juniors being excessively affectionate. They have remembered us in poetry and song; they have written our praises in red letters upon the fence; have wailed our name in sorrow, and howled it in wrath; and they have devoted the time of Chapel exercises exclusively to the study of some new form of compliment, “ noveland “ original,” in which they might express their unspeakable feelings. Vet we have been neither sclffsh nor ungrateful; we finished their decorative art with a back-ground of coal tar, and, on another occasion, took upon ourselves the duty of notifying the public of their “ Drop Act ” a few hours beforehand—a matter which they, in their hurry had neglected; and rumor says that we actually, “Took their President out for a ride.’’ We admit that the development of the physique has been slighted in some degree in the vigorous drill of the mind; yet, when a call is made for the Varsity’s best men, ’92 is represented in the chosen “ Nine ” or “ Eleven.” Those who do represent the “muscle” of the class, have, when the college athletic standing was at stake, shown themselves adequate to all demands made upon an individual. When ’92 was worsted in the field-day sports of ’89, gaining but one victory, much talking was done by some envious and malicious elements, they thinking that they had found the vulnerable spot of the class; but the reason of the partial defeat was significant of mental strength, and pointed not to physical weakness, the boys securing exemption grades having departed for home, deeming a few days spent with nature more valuable than the companionship of weaker minds. Those staying for other reasons demonstrated forcibly that ’02 was still alive and vigorous. In the literary work the class has shown herself to great advantage, the strength of the several societies lying largely in their Sophomore memberships. She also contributed four editors to the staff of the Purdue Exponent, who leave strong marks of their individuality. She contains in her ranks numerous disciples of Webster, Emerson, Edison, Aggasiz, and Gray, and she is justified in the expectation that she will leave her influence on future history. Her members arc not content to look for want to graduation as the “end of business, but they are contemplating chairs iu universities, seats in Congress, rank in literature, and place in the list of renowned scientists. Our girls art? few, but they make up in beauty, womanly grace, and intelligence what they lack in numbers, ami their admirers “are legion.” Our Sophomore picnic is still iu the prospective (at this writing), as is also our Junior entertainment, which will occur next year at the proper time and iu the proper way. (Our President will be there.) In the history of our past we may read the prophecy of a bright future, and it is with pride and hope that we reflect upon the days that are gone, with their pleasant associations and warm friendships, their noble efforts and splendid achievements.

On the sixth of September, 1888, there gathered together within the balls of “Old Purdue a class whose zeal and love for knowledge exceeded that of Solomon. As Preps, we were not noted for our superior intellectual qualities alone, but for our physical powers as well, winning on Class Day a record that caused congratulations to he showered upon us. We won the wrestling match, the one hundred yard’s dash, and, in fact, we won everything that we didn’t lose. At the beginning of the Freshman year the class numbered one hundred and one students ; but sickness, and the inability of some to carry on the work, has reduced our number to ninety-seven. It has been the pride and ambition of the class to keep its record clear, and to execute the work assigned in a manner that would reflect honor and distinction upon both itself and the University. We have, on all occasions, “kept off the grass,” and by so doing we hope to make the campus of Purdue bloom as did the Garden of Eden before the fall of man. The work by the class in the different literary societies has been highly complimented. At every open meeting given this year there have been one or more performers from our class, and they have never yet failed to acquit themselves with credit. Now, since we have spoken of the moral, intellectual and physical qualities of the class, let us devote the remainder of the history to the girls of 93. The girls in our class, as well as in all others of the University, are in the minority ; yet in class-meetings, where the Reed rulings are expounded and discussed, they vote and rise to points of order as well as the boldest men. Their moral training and good qualities have added much to the dignity of the class; while their intellectual abilities and aptness to learn have thrown a halo of intellectual light about the University. To describe tin beauty of our girls— To guard a title that was ricli before, To guild refined gold, to paint the lily. To throw perfume on the violet, To smooth the ice. or add another hue Unto tin rainbow, or with taper light To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. Much more could be written concerning the merits of this class; but it is not necessary. So let us close our history by stating that the class resolves to let its first year’s work he an incentive to greater endeavors in the future. We hope to do our part well, while, “ The tidal wave of deeper souls Into our inmost being rolls, And lifts us unawares. IV Historian. Marry A. Adams, Wiliam E. Allen, Mary G. Armstrong. John D.

It is true that in the early part of September there could be seen so-called green youths strolling over the campus, about whom the higher classmen could be heard to remark on passing, “ Ha, another green Prep;” not realizing that they themselves were once Preps. Our class has attained but few rounds of the ladder as yet, but what we have accomplished must not be overlooked. The Faculty from the first have been very fond of us, the first part of the year giving the Preps, reserved seats in the gallery of the Chapel, where they could sit in peace and muse over a problem in arithmetic. It was on November 20 that this company of would-be scholars gathered together, and, after mastering many difficulties, succeeded in organizing. During the glorious foot-ball victories of last season, was it not one of our noble men who, when one of the Purdue eleven was ordered oil the field, stepped in, and, with his courage and perseverance helped to gain that grand victory over Wabash? What would Purdue do without her Preps? Again, was it not a Prep, that was victorious in the girl’s tennis tournament last spring ? Though we at first seemed green, before the first term was over the other classmen began to realize what a power we were. Most of our members are from our dear old Hoosier State, some are from other parts of the United States; but one, and only one, is from Jerusalem, who hearing of the class of ’94 hastened to join it. We lost several members during the Christmas holidays. Some through sickness and some “ for reasons best known to themselves,” but through our numerous duties we have had but little time to think of our lost ones. A favorite quotation of the Preps, during the middle term has been,“The course of true love never runs smooth.” So it can be seen that although Preps., we are not far behind our fellow Seniors. As we advance in our college course we shall try to follow the example ol those who have gone before us, and, when we have conquered all difficulties that arise during our work here, and enter upon life’s boundless ocean, may we look back on our “Alma Mater” with many fond recollections and with much pride. lenpbers ©[ £lerss ©[ 9 A.

DIFFICULTY in separatinga sketch of the Biolog ical Laboratories from a review of the course of study in Biology is manifest. A laboratory with a large equipment may be relatively valueless because of the prescribed courses of study, so that the efficiency of a laboratory does not depend altogether upon the amount of apparatus there collected. There has been kept constantly in view in the equipment of these laboratories the giving of a practical training in biological science, and the work and the equipment have advanced pari pawn. In like manner the museums and herbarium have been made, as far as possible, illustrative, instead of mere meaningless collections for the gratification of the curious. For the zoological work there is an ample supply of microscopes and dissecting instruments ; all of the water baths and other apparatus for the preparation of animal tissues; a Jung microtome for the use of advanced students, with numerous hand microtomes for the less advanced workers. A fairly complete cabinet of histological preparations serves for the illustration of tissues. For botanical work, there is a large outfit of simple and compound microscopes and of material for plant dissection and bacteriological work. For work in vegetable physiology a fairly complete outfit is provided, to which much has been added during the present year. Of imported apparatus the following may be mentioned : Wortmann's clinostat, Pfeifer's and Vochting's dynamometers and Engletnann’s gas chamber. The laboratory is also greatly strengthened bv the presence of the United States Experiment Station, with its remarkably complete equipment, which is under the direction of the Botanist, Dr. J. (’. Arthur, placed in service by the advanced electives. A summary of the apparatus shows 45 compound microscopes of the best American and German types; .‘hi dissecting microscopes, chiefly of the ltoth-rock pattern ; batteries of objectives ranging from three-inch to one-twentieth, to which may be added homogeneous immersions of Spencer and Zeiss; micro-tonus, micrometers; polarizers, and all the ordinary attachments of first-class microscopes; 30 cases of dissecting instruments, injecting apparatus, and the equipment needed for the simpler physiological experiments. The Geological Museum is complete for illustrative purposes, though not so large as many others. Every part of it is used by the classes. The Herbarium gives a complete representation of the flora of Indiana, and is peculiarly rich iu ferns. The Zoological Museum is sufficiently varied and extensive to meet all the requirements. The increasing number of electives proves the value of the department, and the high standing and positions of its graduates show that it meets one of the demands of the day. ghc n“)ical 0cparl rper)l. CHEMICAL Laboratory was one of the first buildings erected cm the campus, the same structure, and in practically the same form as we now know it. The original plans were modeled closdv after those of the Laboratory of Brown University of Rhode Island, and the building was first occupied in 1873. During its history, the Laboratory has cradled other departments of the University, which have (perhaps by very reason of its kindly shelter), since grown to lusty and worthy children. The working laboratory originally contained two desks with working space for sixteen students ; two more were added in 1870, and these four desks are still preserved and do excellent duty, though since increased to ten, with working space for eighty students. In 1870, the three rooms of the upper story were dedicated to Physics, the teaching of the same being included in the duties of the Professor of Chemistry. In 1870, the basement of the building opened its doors to the—at that time— infant Mechanical Department. It was soon afterwards found necessary to ceil the basement thoroughly in order to protect the sifting down of dust from the laboratory above. It is thus interesting to learn, that, at one time, the Mechanical Department was compelled to take the dust of the Chemical Department. In 1885, the mechanical building being complete, the mechanics shook from their heads and shoulders some of the above mentioned dust, and departed for better quarters. Next came the physicists, who transformed the basement into a physical laboratory, and used it for the same until the present year, when, they too, impelled by chemical dust and, possibly also, invited by the attractiveness of new quarters, vacated in favor of the Sc hop 1 of Pharmacy. In spite of dust, this versatile basement would seem to be the most sought for and valuable floor space available. Who knows to what strange uses it may still be put ? The School of Pharmacy, established in 1 S84, had previously occupied the first Hoor of the building jointly with the Chemical Department. To provide much needed room, an addition has been built to the rear of the Laboratory, during the winter just past, which accommodates sixty students, and is used by the School of Pharmacy. The Chemical Department, which has thus, at one time or another, sheltered most of the other departments of the University, now occupies the entire first and second floors of the original Laboratory building. In the second story are the lecture room, seating seventy-five persons, apparatus and balance-room ; on the first floor are the general and special laboratories, with furnished desks for eighty students, store room, combustion room, and the Director’s ofiice and private laboratory. The School of Pharmacy occupies the basement and extension of the building. Thus, for the first time since its occupation, is the Chemical Laboratory devoted strictly to the purpose for which it was erected. The seventeen years’ record of the Chemical Department has been good. The occupants of the Chair of Chemistry have been men of progress and ability, teaching faithfully, and working hard in fields beyond the mere requirements of college duties. The pioneer Professor was Dr. 11. W. Wiley, who, during his ten years of service, ending in 1883, published many valuable papers concerning original researches. Dr. Wiley’s work and students did him great credit, and have indirectly lent a good name to the Laboratory, even to the present day. When Dr. Wiley was called to be chief of the Chemical Division of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, he was succeeded by Prof. Jt. B. Warder, who, after four years, was followed by Dr. J. I'. Nef in 1887. These gentlemen won credit by their conduct of the department as well as by their original research and study. Dr. Nef was succeeded in 1880 by Dr. Winthrop E. Stone. The Laboratory has, therefore, within its stained and dingy walls, intimate connections with the earlier days of our still young institution. It is, perhaps, the only building upon the campus which has sheltered all the students enrolled upon the University register. Students and professors have begun honorable and famous careers within its walls. Whatever of college tradition or history may have gathered about it, during its existence, is to be cherished in the present and passed down to our successors, to which end may these lines assist. 0 [ Eleclnc0l Er)qir)eepir)q • THING, perhaps, shows more strikingly the good management of Purdue than the rise and progress of the School of Electrical Engineering. The most prominent object on the campus is probably the substantial and lofty tower which forms the corner of the Electrical Building. This immediately invites the attention of the visitor to the department which finds its home and does its work in this building. Electrical engineering is such a new branch of the engineering profession, that few, except the initiated, have much idea of the problems which are to be studied in such a course. But the striking results obtained within a decade, and the expansive application that electricity has been put to, as a motive and lighting force, has made an enormous demand on our schools of engineering for men thoroughly trained and capable of taking charge of, and directing the great interests involved. To meet this demand is the purpose of the Purdue School of Electrical Engineering. The building has been erected at a cost of twenty thousand dollars, and supplied with such appliances as are necessary for the most advanced and reliable experimental investigation in electricity and magnetism. Thus, three rooms on the first floor are fitted with large stone-capped brick piers which are built THE NEW ELECTRICAL BUILDING upon massive stone foundations, independent of the building. The purpose of these piers is to avoid vibrations, which for ordinary purposes would be undetected, but which would prove fatal to the accurate and delicate measurements to be made bv the students of electricity. Then two rooms are fitted with brass steam pipes, another precaution,apparently unnecessary to one who has never attempted to work delicate magnetic instruments near iron steam pipes. A work shop supplied with carpenter and metal benches, lathe (driven by an electric motor), tools, etc., is at hand, so that the student can make for himself the thousand and one little experimental appliances which suggest themselves to the thinking experimenter. To mention more in detail the equipments: From the large central hall we have doors into the office, class room, the three special experimental rooms mentioned above, the large general laboratory, and into the engine and dynamo room, 'flic large general laboratory is supplied with tables, balances and other appliances for the general physical measurements. The dynamo room naturally forms a center of attraction. We see here in normal operation an Edison incandescent dynamo, a Brush arc light dynamo, a Thomson-Huston arc light dynamo, and an original French Gramme dynamo—all three machines being devoted to experimental work. An alternating current dynamo and a compound wound dynamo arc soon to be added. A Sprague electric motor and a Baxter motor give facilities for studying electricity as a source of power. The steam engine is a straight line 22 II. I On the second story is the general physical lecture room,and accompanying apparatus room. These rooms are supplied with experimental and illustrative appliances for a general course in physics. To explain the instruments which are-found in daily use at different points of the building would be beyond the scope of this sketch. Suffice it to say that they are all of the latest and best designs, mostly from the work shops of the best makers in Europe. They have been selected, not only for the most delicate scientific work, but also for commercial work; for the Purdue electrical engineer is trained to be both a man of resources and practical knowledge. Such instruments as Sir Win. Thomson’s deci-amperc balance and Weber’s electro-dynamometer afford facilities for measuring currents with the highest scientific accuracy. The course has been based on that in mechanical engineering, for the electrical engineer must be able to plan and construct machinery, and be conversant with the principles of mechanism. In having the full-grown school of mechanical engineering to start with, the Purdue School of Electrical Engineering has had a great advantage over many of its fellow schools. With present facilities, and the additions that will continually be made to keep abreast of the times, the outlook for this school is bright. INTERIOR VIEW OF SHOPS. School 0Pf) ccl )0r)ical Er)G|ir)0crir) IiE aim of this department is to enable its students to take an honorable position in the profession of Mechanical Engineering. A short examination of the vast number of mechanical pursuits that surround us, will show immediately the necessity of such a department. The non-movable productions of man, such as railroads, canals, bridges and dams, are generally the result of the intelligence and skill of the civil engineer. But what would we do without the many and wonderful machines for producing: tin locomotives, cars and steamers, for transporting the necessities for the ever increasing needs of our civilization? All such fabrications are designed and constructed by the mechanical engineer. Each profession has its language. Figures and drawings are the languages of the engineer, through which lie conveys all his ideas. A thorough training in the elementary and advanced branches of mathematics, and their application to mechanical construction, is considered of primary importance in Purdue. In mechanical drawing the student first learns how to use his instruments, in drawing such elementary bodies as cubes, cylinders and spheres; then he branches off on to more complicated pieces from copy. While he is learning the principle of Descriptive Geometry he makes drawings to scale, from his own measurements, of portions of lathes, planers, drills, etc. lie next learns how to design the teeth of spur, bevel, and worm wheels, racks and cams, and finally steam engines and boilers. The engineer deals with the forces of nature. And the physical and chemical laws must be indelibly impressed on the memory of the student. The study of the best text-books, accompanied by frequent lectures and a large amount of laboratory practice are considered the best means of accomplishing this result. To attain this end the I'niversity has equipped the laboratories with a ’large and valuable amount of apparatus, which the student is taught to use with scientific accuracy. re study the force itself, whether at rest or in motion, and since force is transmitted or resisted by material bodies, such as iron, steel, stone and wood, the laws governing the best form of these bodies, for resisting given forces, are thoroughly investigated with the testing machine. In this way their actual strength for resisting compression, tension and bending is found. The steam engine, steam boiler, and the steam itself, are simply agents for transforming the latent energy of coal into the visible and useful energy of the revolving fly-wheel. The laws governing the proper combustion of fuel, the formative and competitive use of steam, and the designing and construction of the steam boilers and engines to secure economy, safety, and the desired amount of power, are all investigated as fully as possible. To aid in the work there is a battery of live boilers, burning either coal or natural gas, an Atlas engine, a straight-line engine, indicators, steam gauges, planometers, etc. A large engine of a different type, with surface condenser, air-pumps, calorimeters, etc., will shortly he added. The shops contain the best modern tools, and the student becomes familiar from actual contact with all the implements whose aid will be needed in carrying out his future designs. The drawing rooms are large, well lighted and thoroughly equipped. ;t)0©I oj Ci ?i 1 BijGprjeerirjcj DEPARTMENT was founded in 1887. The class of 1888 was the first to graduate, and numbered five men. From the class of 1881), eight were graduated. The course of study as at first laid down, differs but little from that of the School of Mechanical Engineering during the first three years. During the fourth year, however, the work becomes prtrely technical. Each year, however, some changes have been made in the course, until at present the schools are separated at the end of the first term of the Sophomore year. The location of the University is very favorable � the establishment of a Civil Engineering School. The City of Lafayette is quite centrally located with respect to the cities of Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, etc., and in all of these cities there is much to incite the interest of the engineer. Numerous highway and railroad bridges in and around the city, enable the student to make a practical study of bridge engineering. The department i well supplied with field instruments of the latest designs, and models of bridges, roof trusses, arches, etc., will be added as rapidly as possible. The drawing rooms are large and commodious, and the testing laboratory, open to students, enables one to compare theory and practice. As a subject of'a thesis the present Senior class is designing water-works and a system of sewarge for W est Lafayette. They have made the necessary surveys and plats, have studied the efficiency and cost of system of service, and the whole when finished will be of practical value. This combining of the practical with the theoretical, is a distinguishing characterestic of Purdue University, and the work in the Civil Engineering Department is in strict keeping with the spirit of the institution. pl)G IBl'JOpS. AT PURDUE, in common with most of the leading technological schools, shop practice is looked on as an important element in training engineering students. It is now generally recognized that if a student aspire to he more than a draughtsman, after he leaves the school he must he better acquainted with the materials and processes of construction than he can he by a mere study of tables and formula . He must know how a given material will behave when subjected to the tests that are constantly occurring in practice. He must he able to do what an eminent engineer has called “scientific guessing.” lie must have a knowledge that only comes from actual contact with the conditions as they exist in practice. 'flic leading engineering schools of to-day try to give this knowledge without the loss of time and the great difficulties that occur in trying to acquire it in actual practice. In its Mechanical Laboratory, Purdue University has a means for accomplishing this purpose that will compare favorably with any of the leading schools of engineering. The shops have been designed and planted, and the work there is arranged to meet this requirement. The needs of men who wish to enter industrial pursuits to earn a livelihood have been carefully considered, and the practice in the shops has been arranged to meet their wants as fully as possible. The student takes a course in actual practice that starts with the simplest processes in construction. THE FORGE ROOM. THE FOUNDRY. The course commences with the making of joints in wood, is continued through the making of patterns for machinery; these patterns an molded and east, during which process a knowledge of the behavior of fluid metals is imparted, as well as of the processes of the founder. Then in the course comes the forging of iron and steel; after which the making and fitting of machinery. All this work is accompanied by explanatory lectures. The knowledge of materials and manipulative skill thus gained is then further applied in original investigation of the problems that occur in the designing of machines and structures. For this latter work the special apparatus in the Testing Room is used, as also that in the Electrical Laboratory. The shops proper consist of a wood-working room, a foundry, a forge room, and a machine shop, all fully equipped, so that they will accommodate one hundred and fifty students at one time. Of course the work done in the various rooms is of absorbing interest to the student from the time when, as a Freshman, he tells you, “ It is the hardest thing to get tlie right bevel on that chisel,'” to the time when as a Senior he wisely informs you, “ It is no wonder that boiler burst; the shell is of no account.” N important factor in material progress is experimentation. The man who is willing to let well enough alone, believing that the old ways are good enough for him, is not likely to add many new facts to human knowledge. But why not rest with the presumption that now, in this age of machinery, the methods of work have become sufficiently complete, and that the mere reason for things may safely be left to the scientifically curious? What, in short, is the direct need of an experiment station, particularly in the domain of agriculture? Some reflection will make it evident that competition is the spur to our necessities; competition, especially in the ways of comfortable living, which demands that the farmer make a maximum profit from every acre of land under his control. And does he do it? How can it be, when with unequaled climate and soil, arid energy without stint, the average yield of potatoes per acre in this country is little more than one-half that of Germany or one-fourth that of Great Britain, without speaking of other crops? It is to make it possible to grow more potatoes, more com, more wheat per acre, to raise more cattle, horses and sheep, or to turn off more butter, cheese and fresh meat from the farm, and each of higher quality, and at a correspondingly increased profit, that the State of Indiana, through the liberality of the general government, has established the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue University. Its province is to furnish useful information to the farmers of the State, which so far as possible shall he obtained by original investigation. The equipment for the experimental work of the station has been provided by an annual income from the government of fifteen thousand dollars, now nearing the end of the third yearly installment, and a small additional amount from the earnings of the college farm. The law permits but a very limited part of this sum to be expended for buildings, and the present commodious and attractive structure for offices, laboratories and class rooms, as well as the new barn and other farm buildings, have come from the combined generosity of the University and the State. If the workman is to be known by his tools, the station may boast of good men, for the appliances for carrying out researches in chemistry, botany, entomology, veterinary science, dairying, horticulture and agriculture are numerous, well selected, and often of the most costly and perfect character. For a variety of drying ovens, water baths, extraction apparatus, balances of all degrees of sensitiveness, and a bewildering array of glass-ware and rubber tubing one must walk into the chemical rooms. If living things are more interesting to the visitor than earths and chemicals, he may step into the botanical rooms, and see plants treated to all the indignities that the imagination of the anti-viviseetionist has supposed to be exclusively practiced by the heartless physiologist. Not only potatoes, corn, wheat, etc., are studied, but microbian life aud fungous germs of a higher order as well. In the entomologist’s rooms, insects are kept well in hand, or rather well in cages, as far as it is possible to keep them well at all in confinement, and their movements and habits observed. The veterinarian lias numerous dissections of domestic animals, the horticulturist and agriculturist rare and useful plants and experimental plats, and the dairyman cattle and the machinery for storing and preparing fodders to show the visitor. Two annual reports and more than thirty bulletins give the published results of the station’s work up to the present time. Founded 1855. Della Della Stapler. Organized 1.874.

In January, 1881, twontv-six ot as good men as ever entered “Old Purdue,” resigned from the Irving Society, and, feeling the need of another society, organized the Carlyle Literary Society, after having gone through with the necessary preliminary steps to such an organization. The prospects were not flattering to any great degree, but with the word “ Victory ’’emblazoned upon their shield they could not but come off victorious. Many are the stories related of Carlyle’s infancy; of the meetings held in the Chemical Laboratory, Library and various other places that seemed suitable. The students at first were slow to acquaint themselves with tins new venture, but the founders were equal to all emergencies and soon won many friends, among whom was the Philalethean Society, and through its kindness was permitted to assist in furnishing the hall which the two societies now occupy. Soon after the permanent organization of the society was completed, it was decided to adopt some badge, and a well-known emblem was chosen in the shape of a society pin, which idea was copied by our friendly contemporaries. Carlyle has taken an acknowledged but friendly lead in many of the original ideas that have been suggested in literary work; and the writer doubts not that she will in the near future advance some new idea that will be characteristic of her past achievements. The days of past strifes are ended. The society has seen many difficulties, but her present outlook is very flattering. The Carlyle Society is the only society that has successfully carried out for the last few years an annual picnic, and many are the joyous moments spent in and out of the society hall by its members and their lady friends. The society has given some fine public performances in the past, and with her present membership and brilliant prospects much can he expected through the untiring efforts of her members for personal good and the good of those with whom they may associate.

THIRTEEN years ago the spirit of energy, ever predominant in the young ladies of Purdue, manifested itself in the formation of a literary Society for their advancement in social and intellectual culture. Entered into with the spirit of determination on the part ol its few members, it stood and prospered, regardless of the adversity with which it met. But now, grown strong with the successive years, its annals are fixed and its prosperity seems lasting. Every year since 1880, has the Philalethean proudly ascended the rostrum of the college chapel, to claim from her brother societies her share of the laurels won for the literary department of Purdue, and each year has she descended that rostrum as proudly. The first annual reunion and banquet was held in the spring of 1888. It was largely attended and heartily enjoyed, the following and last being equally successful. The society has now a beautifully furnished room and is free from debt. Its present membership numbers forty-seven. Helen Golden, OFFICERS. President. Wii.ua. Earl, Vice-President. Mauuib Beckman, .

THE IRVING is the pioneer literary society of Purdue University, having been established quite early in the history of the institution. It, for a long time, held undisputed sway in the literary arena; in fact until the demands upon it became such as to be a hindrance to its prosperity, the membership being nearly seventy-five, a number entirely too large for harmonious action. At this juncture a number of the members withdrew and formed what is now the Carlyle, a flourishing and rival literary society. This drain in nowise injured the Irvings; but, on the contrary, ! 0‘ , ' ted their action and heightened their ambition, ami since 1881 the maximum membership has been limited to forty. It has ever been the aim of the Irving Society to maintain a high literary standard and to meet tin demands in college that can in no other way be satisfied. The work of the closing year will rank with the best work of any corresponding period in the past. And it is conceded by all. whether interested or not, that the Irving is in better condition than ever before in its history. OFFICERS. Winter Term F. P Anderson, I. IIitz, L. V. Gould, C. A.

Motto: Wie die Arbeit, so der Lohn. THE EMERSONIAN SOCIETY began its existence April 1, 1887. Its early history may be compared to the pioneer who boldly enters some new and untried country. At timesthe future seemed dark. Its members, untrained in literary work, often felt discouraged when they compared themselves with those of the older ami more experienced societies. Hut they struggled on through the dark vale of difficulties, guided by the star of hope, which dimly shone in the distant horizon. Up to a very recent date we have been compelled to hold our meetings in a recitation room. Only once did any of the faculty attend one of our regular programs. That man’s name has since been erased from the faculty roll, hut his memory will ever he dear to the Emersonian Society, for that visit which he paid us when wc were struggling in obscurity. In the midst of our darker hours some of our timid members deserted us. We forgive them, and hope they arc satisfied in their new quarters. But, thanks he to untiring effort, those dark days are over. On the 14th of February, 1890, we left our old shell, room 25, as does the butter-fly when it deserts its native home and softly floats off in the golden sunshine. Since that time we have occupied the reading-room of the library, and we feel quite snug and independent in our new quarters. Next June the Emersonian Society bids farewell to the last of her charter members, save one. Let us hope that its future members may profit by the example of Rome, and not let luxury drag them down into the deep pit f perpetual ruin. May it toil in the future as it has toiled in the past, with eye fixed on the bright star of hope, ever remembering that honest effort will receive honest recompense, and ever keeping in mind that grand old motto: “ .-Is the labor, so the reward. ivuij ers.

EVERY club is organized for the gratification of some immediate desire— some enterprise or phantasy, into which it sometimes plunges with a reckless excitement. Eating has ever been a pastime, the employment and glory of this club. Its exact date and past record of organization is unknown to the writer, but judging from the stature of its individual members, 1 should sav it was daily growing stronger, there now being about forty active members. In fact, all its present members are active. This club holds its meetings three times a day, and its members are all very prompt in attendance. Its future prosperity promises well. ff) 01 ley’s Gluk Alexander, Howe, Avis, Ives, Beardsley, Lane, Davis, Polk, Hitz, y®sf’s. C. W. Bivins, W. Allen, Thompsi C. M. Bivins, A. L.

THIS grand little collection of sweet sounds and soothing influences first became an organization in September, 1885. Carefully, anxiously, was the development of the babe watched, and when it became able to stand on its own tiny feet, and lisp the first sweet word, life became a burden for lack of capability to fully appreciate the darling. As it grew it made its influence felt beyond the little home circle of admirers. Many heart-strings were made to stretch and vibrate under its tender, yet relentless, touch. What though they broke; it was ours, all our own, and we were proud of it. Much lenience made it saucy; and as it increased in strength it increased in sauciness. No one was spared. All came within the reach of its delightfully cruel music. It gained some very valuable members in September, 1887, which occasioned great rejoicing in the Club. Several new “tunes” were “danced to ” during the year, with great nicety and precision. Notwithstanding the loss of some valuable members in the spring of 1889, the club was in a very flourishing condition in September of that same year. The faithful who had remained had, by hard work, continued to be a very influential element in college life. During this year its acquisitions were so rare that it was enabled to give the variations of all preceding compositions, and its music became most distracting because of its very sublimity. When the Class of ’90 leaves the college halls for the last time, it will surely give a parting sigh for the club that has made life so disagreeable. Some of its members can look back over the past, and smile, and be happy to think they will be forever free from it, and can wish for succeeding classes that they may be able to escape the seducing influences of the silvery tongue that wags unceasingly on, “ Forever and Forever.” urdue IC SS0CI icrlior).

Our Rushers rushed and our Quarter back backed, And our Half backs halved with a will, And were they not stopped by the gay Umpire They’d be rushing and kicking goals still. “Time, said the Umpire; and we took in long breaths, And then did we count up the score, And our hearts were light and our muscles grew strong When we found we were eight to their four.

My heart is overflowing with sadness. A gloom does on my feelings press, A greater sorrow would be madness; I mourn the loss of our Cadetess. In all the military evolutions, In field, or hall, or at the mess, And even in giving great exhibitions, No one was equal to our Cadetess. But now no more will we see her with us, She has disappeared, even to the dress, Though that may have changed to a tennis blazer, And adorn some follower of our Cadetess. TIow and where she went is to me a mystery, We doubt not she some other world does bless, 'Tis rudely hinted, she now minds the baby, But we spurn such thoughts of our brave Cadetess We know she is gone and we 're left to sadness. To weeping, wailing, and to sore distress, Until we, too, shall have melted to sweetness, And have evaporated like our lost Cadetess ir. POSTPONED HERE WE ARE .

He hears the speaker pray and talk, But he hears a Senior's voice Singing in the college choir And it makes his heart rejoice. So toiling and rejoicing Onward through school ho goes, Each morning sees some task begun Each evening sees it grow, Something attempted, little done, He takes a night's repose. ' Thanks, thanks,” says he, my Senior friend, For the lessons thou host taught; With acts like yours most notable, Our fortunes must be wrought, And in our smaller minds be shaped, Each vacant deed and thought. I dienjet CP. SOME years ago Mark Twain made a speech on New England weather. The speech leaves the impression that the speaker thought that the idiosyncrasies of his weather exceeded those of other sections. If he should spend a year in Indiana, he would deny the authorship of the production and give the copyright to his bitterest enemy. Indiana weather is peculiar in that no two consecutive years hear any resemblance to each other. One winter the frozen mercury is removed from the thermometer and laid away until after Easter, while the following there is a failure of the iee crop. We have cold pockets in certain parts of the State which the Signal Service authorities considered physical impossibilities, and in Crawford County they put stand-pipes on their rain-gauges and use them for city reservoirs. Indiana weather is the despair of the ice men in summer and winter, the ignix fatuiix of the plumber, the snare of the coal dealer and the terror of the Signal Service. The Signal Service formerly divided the country into districts for the purpose of weather predictions. After putting more districts in Indiana than in any other State,and then not getting anything hut refuse weather in any Indiana district, the plan was given up, and predictions issued for each State, with special instructions to the representative in Indiana to issue local forecasts that conflicted with those from the central olliee. 1'his was somewhat of an improvement, as one set of predictions was likely to hit some element of the weather correctly. At this point the central station of the State Weather Service rendered great aid by adopting a set ol Hags which in a few days all looked alike. One or two of these Hags were run up every morning and by night-fall there was little difficulty in telling what tin weather was; and as the Hags all looked alike the signals displayed always agreed with the weather conditions of the day. It is like a true inspiration to watch a cold wave hesitate before tackling Indiana. It comes out of Dakota like a lion, and advances boldly until within view of the State boundary. Then it bethinks itself of the State where the wind blows four ways at once, and hesitates. Then it plans to go round the State; sometimes by way of Canada, in which case it departs in peace and is heard of no more; sometimes it strikes southward and tries to get out through Texas, when the fervent Gulf Stream turns it back with a rebuke, and woe to the Hoosier scoffer at the cold-wave Hag when it gets back. The great Huai cause of this apparently chaotic condition of Indiana weather is that there may be some place in the universe where every known weather prophecy may be actually verified at least once every twenty-fourh ours. I came from the land of the rising sun; The rising there, though, is done by the moon, Who when rising does usually go up with a run, And slides when she’s anxious to be there soon. I came as a missionary, fervent and bold, To add to your customs and manners some style ; To take you in out of the wet and the cold. And to teach you to do things “according to Hoyle.’’ Why, no two of you wear the same kind of hat, And your boots aro so ugly they’d any one rile; ” Your garment called vest is so outlandish that When you pull it down you make us Japs smile. And as for your balls and receptions and blow-outs, And other queer things that I hear you discuss; The talkers and speakers who are what you call “spouts ' It is hard for one man to make straight such a muss. But 1, being possessed of both energy and pluck, And pitying your state of half civilization, Hope to wean you away from such uncultured truck, And raise you to the plane of the .Japanese nation. $ bap S0 THE Purdue « irl—wliat would we he without her? with tin pencil sticking in her hack hair, adding more glory to her face than any painted glory ever added by an old master to his saint—before whom we stand in conscious unworthiness, with our lingers in our mouths, and our eyes dropping water; whose slightest smile brings more joy to our hearts than any success we ever attained in foot-ball or base-ball, or euchre, or poker, or- or or anything. Incarnate loveliness, undeveloped, in calico, and silks, ami bangs, ami chemical smells—and—and—and—nothing.

She abides in the bed of the yellow Wabash As it toils on its way to the sea, But why far away From her home she did stray, From its foam-topped waves and billows and spray, She never will tell to thee. It may be some sad, sweet affair of the heart; That unwisely she loved a Merman ; Or from some cruel wave She a sailor did save, And then to his keeping her loving heart gave, Put her under the Mer people’s ban. No more will she ride on the crest of the wave. Or sport in the spray and the foam, No more will she play With the dolphin’s so gay, But the Wabash sucker so slimy and gray Is now by her side if she roam. Her song is oft heard on a quiet summer’s night, Stealing softly from over the lea, But the story it tells Is not of green dells, Or quiet winding vales, and llower-eovered fells, But a tale of the far-away sea. She was seen by a belated Freshman one night As she coiled up her hair near the shore, But when he the tale told, It was said he’d been sold, And had surely too much Wabash whisky enrolled; He was not let out nights any more. to [Sac eloi JfVojs.

Three years ago last fall, the jolliest class of all, Gathered on the classic grounds of Old Purdue. There were some as green ns sin, And they often got took in, But soon their brains began to pull them through. Our chance for grades was small; for if you note them all But a few had ever seen a College Hall. Yet before the year was out you might have heard us shout, For Old ’00 made the highest grade of all. CHORUS. Up went “Old ’90” to the starry-decked sky And although it seems so high, yet to the top we’re nigh, And with everything exact in tune, We’ll get there sure in .June, Dressed in our best suit of clothes.'' Two years ago last fall our class was rather small, But we came to take the Junior” people down; Our success may be admired, but one was nearly fired. And the others three (3) demerits all around Then one day in early spring we made the Wabash ring With the shouts of many happy, joyous souls; For we were on the river alloat in the good old Russel boat. Oh, then was “’90' happy with her girls. Chorus. The college grounds looked bright when we, as J uniors, came in sight, For the wheels had stopped had we remained away, For we came to do our part, as we had done from the start, And the people crowded in to hear our say; For our Junior Ex was boss, all opponents counted dross. .Soph. wind Prep. mice, and Faculty all thrown in; For the colors had to go and the specks fell on the Hoor, And Old '•.)() was victorious again. Chorus. This is our Senior year and the way looks bright and clear. For we’re getting there as in the days of yore. The people think we’re some, ami our course is nearly run, But soon our loafing season will be o’er. So on our banquet, night, let us all bo gay and bright, And toast our class until the dawn of day; Then when commencement comes we’ll east a shadow o’er the sun, And make the moon look dim as the ' Milky Way. In their little beds they are tucked away, In an ice-cold chest where they nothing say, And peace and harmony there have sway, Though if they were out in the light of day, They'd just raise Cain Bolley has charge of this frigid lair, And occasionally feeds them on morsels of air, Though he does it with long legged tongs, a pair, And ties a blanket all over his hair For fear one would get lost.

Chorus. Holley wouldn't risk it. But if one of his pots away from Bolley should stray, How quickly we’d hie from this country away, And do it the shortest and most rapid way. While for Holley's eternal salvation we'd pray— For keeping them.

If you have such a friend you may be the means of making their future life a grand success, by calling their attention to the Union hundreds of young men and women in lucrative positions, in from six to nine months after they entered this college. This statement may appear ambiguous to some persons, but if they will call at the college office they can sec for themselves where 85 per cent of the students who have graduated within the past five years are employed. The following testimonials will show how business men appreciate a commercial college. Wc have in our employ as book-keeper, Mr. J. Waller Scott. He is a graduate of the Union Business College, and came direct from the college to our office, taking full charge of our books. We take pleasure in recommending the Union Business College. Wc have in our employ as book-keeper and stenographer, Miss Georgia Cable, a graduate of the Union Business College. It gives us pleasure to state that her ability to do the work so satisfactorily shows a thorough training while in the college, Any person interested in business education should send for a College Journal by addressing, UNION BUSINESS COLLEGE, BUSINESS SUITS FROM $20 UP.

We haven't an old piece of carpet in our entire stock, and there are none of the most celebrated makes of carpets but of which wc carry a full stock.

PURDUt AuUmNI TO THE ALUMNI AND ALUMNAE OF Purdue University this SOUVENIR is DEDICATED. 2 JOHN PURDUE A’o gleaming shaft nor granite block, Nor sculptured pile of cold, insensate stone, No chiseled epitaph of empty praise, Marks his last resting place. I himself without a home, r reared a place Where Science might abide and Learning dwell; Where Art should flourish long, and hold her court, And grant to every worshiper his meed. A’ sleeps — and tow''ring here above his couch, ’Hie products of his genius and his toil Speak louder Jar than wrought and Jignred stone, (V life well lived and labor nobly done. rpHE SOUVENIR is presented to a discriminating public with editorial fear and reportorial trembling. It has not been prepared in answer to any clamorous public demand, but with the single purpose of showing to students, alumni and the general public what a promising infant Purdue University is, upon the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the first commencement. The book and its contents have a local coloring, and will consequently be most appreciated by those who are or have been connected with the University. At the same time there is much that will be of interest to all. An attempt has been made to avoid trespassing upon the territory occupied by the college annual, and the editors hope that they have succeeded. The proper celebration of anniversaries is praiseworthy, and in some cases approaches a duty. When the return of a loved anniversary brings with it added cause for self-congratulation, the observance becomes a pleasant task. The Souvenir has been prepared under the auspices of one of the many college organizations, but it is nevertheless representative of all organizations, classes and departments. There has been no acid in the editorial ink, and certainly nothing has been inserted which can give offense to any A SOUVENIR1. one. The editors beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of many favors at the hands of alumni and members of the faculty. Their kindly and enthusiastic assistance has been of much value in the preparation of the book. The greater part of the art work in these pages was done by H. H. Vinton, ’85, and J. T. McCutcheon, ’89, although the editors are also under obligations to A. B. Rogers, ’89, and Messrs. Taylor, Powers and Schmedtgen, artists for Chicago newspapers. The Editors. PURDUE UNIVERSITY. may we tell the story of Purdue’s trials and triumphs? To the old student who, in the class rooms and on the campus of his lxdoved alma mater has passed the happiest days of his life, what matters it that “Purdue University had its origin in an act of Congress dated July 2, 1862,“ etc. The catalogue has told that story over and over,and even the editors of the Debris allowed the statement to creep into their otherwise excellent publication. To say that “the endowment fund amounts to $340,000, which is invested in non-negotiable Indiana state bonds, bearing interest at 5 per cent,” is the statement of an undoubted fact, but it is a fact which has l een persistently poked at the public f 5r ten years. The public would rather hear from the lips of the old man who occasionally strolls about the campus, the story of living long enough to see the wild hunting grounds of his youth converted into a home of Learning. When we put into type the statement that “On May the 6th, 1869, the legislature accepted a donation of $150,000 from John Purdue,” what adequate idea does it give of the great heart and the unselfish purpose which actuated that magnificent gift? That offering and subsequent offerings represented the life earnings of a busy and earnest man, not money extorted in the practice of usury or made by questionable specula- A SOUVENIR. tions. John Purdue, by application and toil, amassed a fortune and then willingly gave it up, in the hope that the young men of the future might enjoy the advantages which unkind Fortune denied him. The people of Tippecanoe county caught the import and inspiration of John Purdue’s ljetieficence. The tangible result is the Purdue University of to-day; the development, not the ultimate development of one man’s idea. It has lived for sixteen years; not always strong, but ever hopeful. Kne-mies have assailed the objects and methods of the University, but they have been met upon the threshold of debate by staunch and unfaltering friends, whose belief in Purdue’s future was almost religious in its intensity. The. state was tardy at times in its obligations to the struggling college, but made amends for past negligence by an enthusiastic and unanimous declaration of its future support and encouragement. The enemies of old have gracefully come over; the evil prophets have taken up more promising subjects, and on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the first commencement, Purdue is complacent, self-reliant, confident. The pledged faith of the government and the state relieves all anxiety for the future. Five hundred students throng the halls and laboratories, instead of the sixty of 1875. Fifteen years ago there were three college buildings; now there are seven. Fifteen years ago the meager attendance was largely from Tippecanoe county and adjoining counties; to-day every section of the United States is represented, and there are matriculates from Spain and Japan. Then there was but one course of study, and the curriculum was the subject of numerous experiments; to-day there are seven distinct schools. Why continue the antithesis? Fifteen years ago, Purdue University consisted of three buildings partly furnished, a faculty of six persons, a nebulous curriculum, a little apparatus, sixty students, and a grand idea. For an explanation of what it is to-day we commend to your attention the following pages. To students and alumni it will not linger in the memory as an aggregation of schools, supervised by a competent faculty. To them it will ever seem a home, a place endeared by pleasant associations; the scene of battles fairly fought, victories modestly won and defeats bravely met. The spoken name of the dear alma mater will bring to the student’s mind, not so much the recollection of integral and differential calculus and other forms of mathematical diversion, as the gratifying memories of class picnics, society spreads, class day contests, faculty receptions, junior entertainments, and that red-letter day at the Hoosier Athens, when the brave Wabash eleven went down before our giants, shrouded in the gloom of defeat.

SCHOOL OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. fN the last ten years the number of technical schools has increased ten fold. We do not have to look far for the cause. In every city, town and hamlet are springing up machine shops and foundries. Every article around us is machine made. Whence came the designers and constructors of these shops and this machinery ? Formerly the designers, proprietors or superintendents arose from the apprentices, who spent years in the shops hammering iron, in order to learn how to design steam engines. For every hour’s instruction they received, they worked a week for the proprietor. It took years to Tfl learn what systematic training would have given in f , months. The modern method of education is that pursued by the technical schools. Purdue University has shops filled with full-sized tools from the best machine makers in the country. Students are kept in these schools just as long as they are receiving an education therein, and no longer. For this reason the shops are not made a source of revenue, a few articles only being sold, to show the students that their work, when perfect, has a market value. During the first two years the student receives instruction in the pattern shop, the foundry and the machine shop. lie is not put in these shops like a machine from which the maximum possible work is to be A SOUVENIR. obtained, but as a student to be instructed, and he is given just as much as he will absorb. Parallel with the shop course he studies mathematics, English and kindred subjects. During the Junior year the student learns to analyze the machinery that has been surrounding him. He finds that a lathe is made up of such simple elements as pulleys, spur wheels, racks and screws. He learns how to design these and other elements, and the method of arranging them so that he can transmit any required power, with any required motion in any machine. With other studies chemistry is taken up, and, by election, it may be pursued in the Senior year, thus obtaining the knowledge possessed by the technical chemist in any of our large refineries or mills. In the Senior year the student takes up the laws governing steam and its formation, boilers and their construction, engines and their management. He designs various kinds of valves, and at least one complete engine. He learns the laws governing the strength of materials of construction, and a short additional course would fit him as an architect. The laboratories are fitted with engines, testing machines, dynamometers and other appliances, so that theory and practice are combined in the most approved manner. In the end, the memory has been strengthened, the eye and hand trained, but, above all, the reasoning power has been developed to the highest possible extent. W. II. P. Crkighton, II. S. N. PURDUE ALUMNI ASS. SCHOOL OF SCIENCE. DEPARTMENT OK BIOLOGY. special object of this department is give thorough training in biolog -I science. It is with this end in w that the lalx ratories have been lipped and the courses arranged. required biological studies begin the third term of the Freshman r in the School of Science and Ag-llture, and are continued through the Sophomore year. In the Junior and Senior years the subjects are elective, with the exception of human physiology. The instruction throughout the course is in the form of lectures and laboratory work, supplemented largely by collateral readings. It is impossible to give a clear idea of the character of the work done within the limits of this article. Its extent may be measured somewhat from the fact that the student in botany has set apart for his study 870 hours, which, with the double electives in the Junior and Senior year, may be increased to 1,478 hours. In zoology the time assigned is 110 hours less. The equipment of the lal oratories, apart from the museum and herbarium. consists of forty-three compound microscopes, chiefly of the Beck and Bausch Lomb makes, with batteries of objectives ranging from three-inch to one-twentieth-inch; micrometers; camera lucida; polarizers and all the attachments ordinarily required for laboratory work; a Bausch l«omb microtome; twelve hand microtomes, water baths and all the apparatus needed for preparation of material for advanced histological work; the simpler apparatus for experimental work in plant and animal physiology; thirty-six dissecting microscopes of the Rothroek type, thirty dissecting sets, injecting apparatus, etc.; in brief, a fair equipment foi PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN.

The department is greatly strengthened through the presence and by the assistance of the various specialists connected with the staff of the Experiment Station. In practical biological training, laboratory work, extent of course and equipment, this department compares favorably with any in the West. The rapidly increasing number of electives is, perhaps, the best proof of its value. Stanley Coulter. CHEMICAL DEPARTMBNT. No regular student of Purdue escapes a more or less extended sojourn in the chemical laboratory. Usually it is the Junior who first tastes the delights of this retreat. The laboratory, half hidden behind the trees, engine house, hall, Peirce conservatory, etc., is not a prominent feature in the Purdue landscape. It lies apart from the daily haunts of the Freshman and Sophomore, and, when in September the Junior directs his steps thither, it is, literally and figuratively, to an unknown realm that he comes. The building itself is not imposing: the style of architecture may safely be called severe without danger of hurting any one’s feelings. The revolving affair upon the roof is not a graphic chemical formula, as some might suppose, but an apparatus for grinding up the wind and supplying it by telegraph to the Experiment Station. The funny little boxes upon the outside of the windows are not bird houses, nor are they provided for the confinement of unruly students. They are ventilators, intended for keeping the air of outdoors pure. If one puts a very bad smelling or fuming substance in these ventilators, only traces will e.scaj e into the open air. In this way the atmosphere of Purdue is kept pure. At the rear of the building one may observe, without severe effort, a structure which gives the impression that the laboratory, in the process of growth, encountered an obstacle and flattened itself against the gas house. This represents the Renaissance period of the history of the building, it being an addition lately provided for the School of Pharmacy. Within the building on the main floor one finds general and special laboratories, with desks for eighty students, store room, combustion room and director’s office and laboratory. Here the Juniors wrest Nature’s secrets from her grasp three days in the week, and the Seniors, having become more expert at (w)resting, are able to bother the old lady during A SOUVENIR. four days of the week. Some others there are who struggle with great problems at all hours, and so one always meets with strange sights and sounds and smells within these precincts. A flight of stairs leads up to the exalted regions where students may commune with the Spirit ol Chemistry. As many as forty may often be observed here, communing away with pencils and paper with great application. They do this because they love to. Other objects of interest on this floor are the apparatus room, containing lecture and experimental appliances, and the balance room, supplied with analytical balances. The history of this somewhat battered and dingy but still convenient laboratory is full of interest and merit. Beneath its roof were born and nurtured the departments of physics and mechanics. The building itself was one of the first to be erected on the campus, and the department is one of the oldest. Prof. H. W. Wiley was the first occupant of the chair of chemistry, and builded wisely and worked industriously during his ten years of service, winning for himself and laboratory lasting recognition. Following him came two gentlemen, who left only less lasting impressions because holding their positions less time—Prof. R. B. Warder and Dr. J. U. Nef. The latter was succeeded in 1889 by I)r. W. Iv. Stone. The chemical department has played no small part in the history and growth of Purdue; it has its place, too, in the memories of the alumni. The student of the present forgets all this, perhaps, and thinks, “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” W. K. Stone. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN. SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. iRHAPS no department of Purdue shows so well the pushing, progressive character of the management of Purdue as this. Only a few years ago and the extensive field included under physics was given but a term in the curriculum; now the largest and handsomest building on the campus has been erected for the department, so much has its work been extended. In the cabinets of this department is also found much of the finest and most delicate apparatus of the University. The School of Klectrical Engineering, the youngest of the technical schools of Purdue, has had the advantage of finding here the well planned and flourishing course in mechanical engineering. This furnished the basis of just such a course as the practical electrical engineer demands. The methods of machine work and principles of machinery, the theory and practice of the steam engine, etc., are as important to the electrical as to the mechanical engineer. The home of the electrical department needs to l e mentioned. The Electrical Building is, as the cut shows, an imposing three-story building of dressed stone and brick. Its large corner tower is the most prominent object on the Purdue campus, and adds largely to the architectural effect of the building. The interior is very light and cheerful, and this is an element adding much spirit to the work. The wocxl work is oil-varnished red oak. To briefly mention the rooms, let us enter through the tastefully tiled lobby, into the large central hall. Opening from this is an office, a recitation room, three special experiment rooms, a large general laboratory and a dynamo room. The special experiment rooms are furnished with large stone-capped brick pieces, built on heavy stone buttresses, independent of the building, so as to l e free from vibration for WEST DRAWING ROOM. RECITATION ROOM. DYNAMO KOOV. HER ROOM. INTERIORS. ELECTRICAL BUILDING. A SOt TEN A the most delicate experimental work. Two of these rooms also have brass steam fittings, so as to be used for special magnetic work. Off from the general laboratory is a work shop, fitted with carpenter and metal benches, a lathe, tools, etc. Naturally the dynamo room is a center of attraction. The various systems of electric lighting and power are here represented by dynamos, motors and storage batteries, and one meets the familiar commercial names of Edison, Brush, Thomson-Houston, Gramme, Sprague, Baxter, Julien, etc. The motive power is supplied by a twenty-two-horse power Straight Line steam engine. The experimental lecture room and accompanying apparatus room are on the second floor. To enumerate the apparatus would take more space than allotted to this sketch. Enough that it is all of the latest and best designs, and admirably adapted to the work. The aim of the School of Electrical Engineering is to give the electrical engineer the most complete fitting for his work. The problems of electrical engineering are of the most varied and changing character. There are rapid changes and unexpected advances in every application of electricity to commercial life. Probably nothing better illustrates this than the extended use of alternating currents to electric lighting. Only two or three years ago alternating currents were merely a matter of curiosity to the practical engineer. To-day the claim is made for the alternating system that it is the solution for the difficulties of the past. In the light of such advances the Purdue School of Electrical Engineering has chosen the wiser part in making its course a complete four years’ course, making a thorough knowledge of the facts and principles of electricity and magnetism the basis upon which to build the practical work of the last years of the course. The Senior year is devoted to the discussion and investigation, experimentally and theoretically, of just such problems as are coming up before the professional electrician. The designing of electrical appliances and apparatus receives special attention. With the present start and the continual additions to be made, the school has a most brilliant outlook for the future. A. P. Carmen. o PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN SCHOOL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. I HIS department was founded in 1887. The work in the department is in strict keeping with the spirit of the institution, the object being to fit men to become civil engineers. It is believed the course of instruction is such as will enable its graduates to rise rapidly to positions of the highest responsibility in the profession. A civil engineer must be a liberally educated man, and for this reason the course in civil engineering is rather more general in its character than that of the other technical schools of the University. The location of the University is very favorable to the establishment of a school of civil engineering. The city of La Fayette is quite centrally located with reference to the cities of Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis. Louisville, etc., and in all these cities there is much to incite the interest of the students in the way of examining existing engineering structures. I11 and around the city itself are numerous highway and railroad bridges, which offer excellent opportunities to the students of bridge engineering. The department is well equipped with field instruments of the most approved pattern, but it is hoped to extend the equipment as rapidly as possible in the way of models of arches, bridges, roof trusses, etc. A. K. Phillips. SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE. N these so-called practical days, many people go about with the question, “What is its practical benefit?” on their tongue's end. No one seems to question the utility of the engineering courses. They are w always approved, and their importance is «- •- readily granted. The apparent magnitude of industries requiring engineers is at once acknowledged as sufficient ground for maintaining these schools. Very few people stop to think that the value of farms and farm products is vastly in excess of the value of those industries for which engineers are trained; nor are they inclined to think that farmers require special training. The purpose of the Agricultural Course is to train men in such a way that they may follow agricultural pursuits to the l est advantage, and at the same time l e able to make some advancement in the art, and to aid those in their community who have not had a thorough training in the fundamental principles of their business. The course aims to make a man what he should and must be in these days of sharp competition; to give him a knowledge of the correct relation of his land to its products, and of these products to other products; and to give him this knowledge in such a form that he will not sit around and groan alx ut the degeneracy of the times, but will get out and put his knowledge to some immediate use, and, if necessary, adapt his work to the times. During the entire course, the student, in addition to the subjects common to all the courses, studies the best authorities on theoretical and applied agriculture and allied subjects. At the same time he sees going on about him work of the utmost value to agricultural science. And this work deals with the particular problems that are of first importance in our PURDUE ALUMNI ASS ? A SOUVENIR. own state. He sees and may take part in experiments on soils, crop rotation, fertilizers, cattle feeding, curing of cattle food, dairying, economic entomology, soil drainage, veterinary practice, seed testing, improvement of varieties of seeds, fruit raising, market gardening and a multitude of other things relating to the business of farming. He is prepared to use the results of this work on his own farm, and, what is of the highest importance, to properly plan and execute those investigations which will solve the questions arising in his daily work. His training is broad enough to lead him to correct conclusions, and so enable him to apply himself and his capital to the best advantage. A farmer with broad, sound training and good, hard sense is a most valuable citizen. This is what the Agricultural Course has tried to make, has made, and will continue to make. H. A. Huston. ART AT PURDUE. of the fadts long ago discovered is that a technical school without drawing would be as defective as a classical school without language, and that an Art Department was a necessary complement to the regular courses of study at Purdue University. So the School of Industrial Art opened in the pioneer days of the University ; not with a blare of trumpets and a clashing of cymbals, as the departments do in these later days, but with equal force and the same general purpose. At the time of its beginning, this department occupied a single room in the building that is now used as the men’s dormitory. Strange, what a variety of essentials emanates from this building, and how many of them eventually hold a place, often visionary, in the Ladies’ Boarding Hall. To this place the Industrial Art School came after a very few years, having, owing to its own good efforts, crowded itself out of the room assigned to it in University Hall, by the ever increasing number of art students. Here it found itself large enough to fill a suite of eight rooms, the main ledture room being the best arranged room for the purpose to be found in the West. This, together with a museum, a room for casts, one for designing, three for wood carving and clay A SOUVENIR. modeling, and an office, were taken possession of and considered a dominion to l e further improved and enlarged as the growth of the University required. Here the most imaginative may train his pencil to illustrate his thoughts; and he with skillful hands may develop his imagination as well as copy from ever varying nature in every form. He may sketch his ideal, model it in clay, and perpetuate it by carving it in wood. Industrial art brings forth the principles from which may be developed the essentials for every style of decoration. Nothing can be more delightful to the cultivated mind than the combination of the useful with the beautiful, whether they have merely the benefit of the result or are actually engaged in the work of creating. Anna K. Baker. SCHOOL OF PHARMACY. CONDITIONS were such in the year 1884 that the School of Pharmacy was established. It was organized in response to the public demand for druggists of a higher pharmaceutical education than that obtained by practical experience. The course affords a thorough practical and theoretical training in chemistry, pharmacy and related branches. In the Junior year the student receives instructions in experimental chemistry, qualitative analysis, inorganic chemistry, manufacture of galenical and inorganic pharmaceutical preparations, human anatomy, materia inedica, pharmacognosy, doses, pharmaceutical problems and strength and composition of medicines. In the Senior year he receives instruction in organic pharmaceutical preparations, toxicology, organic qualitative analysis, (proximate) analysis of urine, quantitative analysis, pharmaceutical assaying, pharmacognosy, materia medica, pharmaceutical synonyms, botany and prescription work. The morning hours are devoted to lectures and recitations, while the afternoon is given to laboratory work. A separate room has been fitted up as a dispensing pharmacy, and is used by the student in filling prescriptions; the student is required to read and correct prescriptions taken from the files of drug stores. The more difficult ones are to be filled by the student under the personal supervision of a practical druggist. Under the management of Professors Green and Spitzer the course is gradually improving. This year they have added A SOUVENIR. the manufacture of organic chemical compounds to the course, making it the only school in the country that presents this branch of organic chemistry. The analysis of water has also been added to the course. The student is required to analyze several samples of water, under the supervision of the professor of quantitative analysis. This has been the most successful year since the establishment of the school: the number of students has increased nearly fifty per cent over last year, and the prospects are very encouraging for the coming term. M. E. Stout. THE INDIANA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. through the institution, maintained as a department of Purdue University and the work of which is undertaken in the interests of the agricultural community of Indiana, is neither a local nor yet a state institution. It is national in its origin, having been established by an act of congress approved March 2, 1887, the object of which was to call into existence, in connection with the agricultural colleges already established in the different states, departments or institutions for the express purpose of studying the principles underlying the great agricultural industry of the country, and increasing the productiveness of this industry application of science to the practical methods involved, A SOUVENIR. while increasing the power of the producer through careful and systematic experiments. These institutions, though comparatively new in America, are counterparts of similar stations in Europe, the existence of which dates back half a century. They were called into existence in response to a direct demand from the tillers of American farms. The work undertaken by the Indiana station and the field recognized as belonging to it may be best illustrated by the organization of the staff devoted to the work. In agriculture the study of new methods, new varieties and new implements; the investigation of the characteristics of soils, crops and animals; the study of fertilizers, of rotations, of the principles of animal nutrition, of economical feeding, and the utilization of dairy products, form the scoj e of the work undertaken. In horticulture varieties, methods, systems of propagation, hybridization, cross-fertilization and the origination of new systems and new products, offer a field occupying the energies of the department. In chemistry, the study of soils, of fertilizers, of cattle food and ol dairy products is each capable of affording results of direct practical value and application to daily farm affairs. In botany not only the botanical characteristics of plants grown as crops and the conditions controlling their economical production are Studied, but to the sphere of the botanist also belong those other plants of hardly less significance to the farmer, the vegetable diseases from the existence of which his crops so often seriously suffer. The rusts, smuts, mildews, rots, scabs and other fungoid diseases receive the experimental study of the botanist, with the result already of having materially diminished the losses heretofore consequent upon the ravages of these enemies of the farmer. In entomology the station finds a means for protecting farm crops from many of their most serious insect pests. The eurculio, the codlin moth, Hessian fly and chinch bug are illustrations where success has already crowned the efforts of the station, while such other crop depredators as cut worms, wire worms, white grubs and army worm are still occupying the attention of the entomologist with the hope of at least partially reducing the hundreds of thousands of dollars’ damage annually inflicted upon the farmers of the state by their ravages. The veterinarian of the station is devoting his energies toward protecting the farm live stock of Indiana from some of the numerous contagious diseases to-day preying upon them. Glanders, hog cholera, tuberculosis and influenza are names, the mere suggestion of which is A SOUVENIR. sufficient evidence of the necessity and possibilities of work in this field. The station at Purdue has completed but one entire year of work under its present organization, yet the results are in the highest degree encouraging. The station has received recognition among the most prominent in the country, and the demand for the results of its work comes from even state and territory of the Union; at home, however, it has received the unanimous recognition and support of the community in whose interests it labors; its publications, mailed free by act of congress to all applicants, regularly reach thousands of the farmers of the state, among whom many new and firm friends for the station and the University have been found, and numerous instances of the public acknowledgment of important practical assistance have occurred as the result of the experimental work already accomplished. H. E. Stockbridge. HISTORY AND POLITICAL ECONOMY. [HE Department of History and Political Economy affords the student instruction in history of the United States, general history and political economy. In the work done in political economy, as well as in history, the fact is constantly kept in sight that the student is to become a citizen. Especial attention is given to those subjects that concern the political and economic life of the people. Very little time is given to abstract theories and the memorizing of dates; on the contrary. such problems as those that every good citizen must meet and help to solve, are the things that receive most attention. Some of the graduates of Purdue follow engineering, some scientific pursuits, and others agriculture, but since all must become citizens, especial care is taken to instruct in those subjects that will prepare for intelligent citizenship. It is confidently believed that the subjects studied in this department are matters for scientific investigation, and that to obtain the best results, the method of science must be applied. For this reason the student is supplied with material, directions given in regard to its use, and he is allowed to draw his own conclusions, subject to the free criticism of class and instructor. The library is the laboratory from which the materials are drawn, and not the least of the aims of the department is to train the students to use it intelligently. will Oscar J. Craig. PURDUE AEUMNl ASSN. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN. MRS. EMMA MONT. McRAE LITERATURE IN PURDUE. EC is the expression in language of the attempt of man to comprehend his infinity, his universal nature. Man's self searches everywhere to find itself expressed. He finds his own mind, with its laws in nature, and out of the facts of nature he builds stupendous systems of science. In history he finds his own immeasurable self building the world’s materials into definite, organized life. Yet science and history do not constitute literature. Literature is not an expression ot the real facts of the world, but rather of the ideals of the soul ; literature does not describe a plant, or a star, or a fish, with scientific minuteness ; it finds in the life of these some thought, feeling or action, which may typify to man an ideal of his own possibility. The course of the water fowl shows the guiding hand of the human course, and the little flower in the crannied wall hints at all that God and man are. Literature does not describe minutely some phase of life of a city or country, and do no more ; it infuses into this description a breath of the universal human soul, and so makes the description of the life of Pere Goriot a type of human selfishness, human vanity, human ingratitude, human vice, contrasted with absolute human self-sacrifice and unselfishness ; literature does not merely relate the myths and legends of the prehistoric ages, it speaks there through the Iliad and Odyssey, the Divina Comedia, Hamlet, Faust and Marble Faun, but it makes them show the eternal solutions of man to the problem of life — the union of his finiteness and his infinity — and they interpret to him the spirits of the ages; Homer, of the Classic Age ; Dante, the Mediaeval Age; Shakespeare, the Renaissance; Goethe, the Revolutionary Age; A SOUVENIR. Hawthorne, the American Age. Literature thus has for its province the spirituality of man in its ideal phases, as contrasted with science and history, which treat of man’s spirituality in what may l e called its real phases. If a man is, then, to he truly a complete man, a woman truly a complete woman, study of literature must go hand in hand with study of science and of history. The study of literature counteracts the materializing influence of an exclusive study of science. The microscope, the telescope, the balance, the micrometer, do not measure all things ; the subtle illusive, self-active, self-directive, intelligent, loving soul cannot be put into a scale-pan, fused in a crucible, or tested on a galvanometer. It can be known only by insight, and insight is gained by a study of literature, for literature catches and fixes this forever moving essence. The course of literature at Purdue is admirably fitted to carry out this thought. It more than supplements the training in material thinking. In the Preparatory Department the l eginning is made with American poems; these come closest to the students’ own lives, being perhaps most easily interpreted. The form of the selected pieces is studied as to grammar and composition, and thus furnishes a transition from the secondary instruction to the college work. In the Freshman year the time is spent on American prose. The beginning of the college work in “ insight reading ” is made here in the study of the characters of the persons Irving, for example, portrays, and in conversations on the thoughts and feelings expressed. The chief form of study of the year is in the way of rhetoric, leading up to the later w'ork in style. The Sophomore year continues the previous work with English poetry. “Brooks’ Primer of English Literature” is used to furnish an outline of the history of literature in England. In the Junior year English prose is considered, an especially minute study of style and literary form being made. “ Minto’s Manual of English Prose ” is the basis for the work. DeQuincey, Macaulay and Carlyle’s masterpieces are studied. The aim is to fit the student for an appreciation of the beauties of style, and this year’s work closes the study of form. In the course of the year some attention is given to insight, especially in the study of Carlyle. In the Senior year is the best w’ork of the literature course. The whole time is spent in a study of the thought and feeling of some of the world’s greater poets. Shakespeare, Browming and Emerson furnish the student with the ideals of the life he is soon to begin. With the training of his wdiole college life inherent in him, he is ready to seize the problems of life and conquer them. It were not fitting to close an account of the literature course at Purdue and its influence, without recognizing the most potent influence in A SOUVENIR. this line, the womanly woman, who is the professor in charge. It is superfluous to say anything to an Indiana public of Kmma Mont. McRae. Let it suffice that Purdue is both fortunate and proud in having in charge of this department, which does so much for the spiritual welfare of its students, the one person in Indiana best able to make this highest culture a real and living power to them. J. B. Shaw, Jr. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN. JOHN PURDUE. c OHN PURDUE, who has endeared his name to the people of Indiana as the founder ol the Purdue University at hu-Fayetter In-iiHta, was born in Huntington county, Pa., on the 31st of October, 1S02. His native village, Germany, located between two small mountain ranges, presented, during the years of his minority, all the scenes and incidents of pioneer life. It was a German settlement, as its name indicates, and the early residents were not blessed with any of the modern appliances that now lend a charm to farm life. Mr. Purdue’s father, Charles Purdue, was a poor, hard-working, honest pioneer. John, the subject of this sketch, was the only son, the other seven children l eing daughters. Times were hard in the pioneer settlement then, and John Purdue was early on the list of “hired help.” At the age of eight years he was first sent to a country school, where he at once evinced his natural taste for intellectual culture. He made rapid progress in his elementary studies, and after a few years of great industry, improving every opportunity, he became quite proficient in the English branches of study, and was himself called to the school room as a teacher. While still young, his father and family emigrated to Ross county, O., near Adelphia, and thence to Worthington, Franklin county, seven miles from Columbus. After several years as a most successful teacher, Mr. Purdue visited Marion county, O., where he purchased a quarter section of land, and at once went to farming;___ We shall not follow Mr. Purdue step by step in his commercial life. It was a magnificent success for the individual, but not less so for education in Indiana, as we will see. He first came to La Fayette in 1837, though he did not locate permanently until 1839, when he opened a store A SOUVENIR. of general merchandise in connection with Mr. Moses Fowler in a building on the northeast corner of the public square. Soon after, he struck out on his own account and accumulated a vast fortune, which was ever freely distributed for benevolent and educational purposes. His commercial operations in New York city during the civil war were characterized by wonderful business foresight, unflinching integrity and substantial rewards— so much so that Mr. Purdue’s name became a tower of credit in that city. He was truly the king of the produce merchants in that great metropolis during his business residence there. His connection with Mr. Fowler lasted only until 1840, and he thereafter made several firm changes until 1861, at which time he sold out finally, and became interested in the founding and building of the La Fayette Agricultural Vorksv.the buildings of which are now occupied by the La Fayette Car Works. I11 1869 he announced himself as independent candidate for Congress, and came very near being elected, his competitor being Hon. G. S. Orth. About this time, probably to further and assist his political aspirations, he purchased the La Fayette Morning Journal, which he sold shortly after to Mr. S. Vater, present proprietor and editor of the Evening Call. In any historical sketch of Purdue University will l e found a complete account of the transaction upon which was based the changing of the name of the “ Agricultural College ” to that of “ Purdue University.” Suffice to say here that, upon certain conditions, Mr. Purdue agreed to donate to the Board of Trustees the amount of Si 50,000. This beneficent gift, besides locating the institution near La Fayette, placed it upon a firm financial footing, and gave it the needed start toward a successful completion of the high aim of its Board of Trustees. In the months of June, July and August of 1876, Mr. Purdue had not enjoyed good health, but nothing serious was apprehended. On Sept. 12 he visited the Agricultural Works and Purdue University, and stopped for a time at the Lahr House, his real home, where he had furnished rooms. During the afternoon he was conveyed to the Hygienic Institute, and left there by his nephew, feeling much better than usual. After eating a slight lunch and chatting with the inmates of the house, he retired to his rooms, where, about 5 o’clock p. m., he was found dead, lying upon his face on the floor, he apparently having fallen while attempting to reach the door. The cause of his death was doubtless apoplexy, with which he had long been threatened. The funeral took place 011 the afternoon of Sept. 14 at 2:30 o’clock. Hon. John R. CofTroth, Hon. John A. Steiu, and President White, 8 A SOUVENIR. after visiting the University grounds, chose a commanding spot in front of the Main Building, then in process of construction, ami uuurtlie campus-avenue; as the location for the grave. It was one of the best that could have l een selected. The funeral was very largely attended, and the president delivered a funeral oration at the grave. Mr. Purdue lived an honest, upright life. Kulogies that tremble on the pen would fail to do him justice. He seized every opportunity of doing good as it presented itself, and it was only through his last and crowning act that the students of Purdue University enjoy the manifold privileges now spread l)cfore them. IIis words of counsel were always characterized by appeals for honesty and integrity. These principles he admired above all else. He was a careful reader of the Bible, and had in his library numerous works relating to the Scriptures. He was on intimate terms with many of the students, and always had a pleasant, encouraging word and a sunny smile for each. THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT. {Compiledfrom an article in the La Fayette Courier, June , 1875.) Thursday morning, June 17, 1875, occurred the first commencement at Purdue. Owing to a severe rain storm, the attendance was not large. Among those present were Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, lion. John Purdue and the Board of Trustees. After prayer by Rev. Joyce, now Bishop Joyce, President Shortridge presented John B. Harper, the only graduate, as a candidate for the degree of B. S. Mr. Harper delivered an interesting and able oration on “ The Search for Truth.” After he had concluded Gov. Hendricks came forward and delivered the presentation speech. He said that the institution had made a modest start, but he hoped the graduates within twenty years would number one hundred instead of one. Gov. Hendricks was followed by Hon. John Purdue. He said he did not intend to make a speech; he only desired to say a few words. The institution was still in its infancy.. He hoped it would grow to be a man. The college had a small beginning and, the speaker said, blunders had l een made in the management, but he thought they would be overcome. He said that the governing laws were imperfect, and should be changed. Before taking his seat he remarked, tersely: “ We don’t get on very nicely.” (It was an open secret at that time that the founder of the institution was not in sympathy with the policy of the president and some of the trustees.—Eds.) At the conclusion of the commencement exercises the visitors inspected the various departments of the University. The library was a small room in the south end of the dormitory, and there were about six hundred volumes on the shelves. The recitation rooms in the three buildings were visited, and the work of the students examined. Very little apparatus had yet been provided, and about all the six professors could exhibit were some mathematical drawings, collections of botanical specimens and some chemical preparations in glass tubes. That evening the trustees held a meeting and made arrangements to establish a military department under charge of an army officer. MILITARY TRAINING. P the casual observer wandering over the campus of old Purdue, there is but little to suggest the presence of a military company, unless, perchance, he meets some handsome cadet, in dark blue uniform and brass buttons, or should espy the stars and stripes floating from the flag staff on the armory. Since 1876 a military organization has been in existence at Purdue; but we may say that the present company was formed two years ago, when an instructor, Lieutenant Pickering, U. S. A., was detailed by the authorities at Washington, to take charge of military affairs at the place. Lieut. Pickering was placed in charge, and under his able supervision an excellent cadet corps was organized. Though not compulsory, over a hundred students soon entered the ranks, and it is proven l eyond a doubt that the company is a permanent feature of Purdue. At present the battalion consists of two companies of infantry, a corps of light artillery and a drum coq s. The drill occurs twice a week on the campus, when the weather permits, or in the Military Hall, a building large enough to accommodate two companies of infantry and a detachment of artillery. Here the raw recruit is drilled in the various foot movements until quite proficient, and then he is given a musket and taught “ how to shoot.” The arms furnished by the state are of the latest improved pattern, and the training a cadet receives is as thorough and severe as at any military school or in the regular army. Lectures are A SOUVENIR. occasionally given on subjects connected with military life, and everything is made as attractive and pleasant as possible. The benefits derived from such an organization are more than would be supposed by one unacquainted with the drill. A graceful carriage, a knowledge of war, and ability to command in case of emergency are a few of the important factors. A. J. Sedgwick, '91. THE BATTALION. Commandant—Lieut.

(8p _(5) H s3 } (9 DELTA DELTA-SIGMA CHI. 1855 Sigma Chi was founded at the old Miami College, at Oxford, O., by six refractory members of Delta Kappa Epsilon, who refused to support a caucus candidate, and withdrew from the “Dekes in consequence. From 1845 to the opening of the war, Miami was the leading college of the West, and seemed destined to become to the West what Harvard and Yale are to the East. The Greek letter society established by the six Miami students has enjoyed a career of great prosperity. The number of chapters has reached about forty, and the total membership is about 3,000. The chapters are principally in the West and South, experience having indicated that the true fraternity standard cannot be maintained in the large eastern universities. The fraternity has issued an excellent song l ook. The official organ is the quarterly published at Chicago, and the fraternity colors are blue and gold. In 1876 a catalogue of the members was published, and the new catalogue of 1890, just out, is the most pretentious volume of the kind ever issued by any Greek letter society. It is a large book, containing photographic views of every college at which Sigma Chi has l een established, together with a history of each chapter, a brief biography of each member, and much useful classified information. Delta Delta chapter was established at Purdue University in 1875, within a few months after the college first opened. The charter member-ship was large, and the chapter enjoyed a prosperous existence until 1878, when the faculty passed an anti-fraternity regulation, to which all students were required to subscril e. From 1878 to 1885 the initiates were sub ro$ay and no badges were worn, and very few meetings held. In 1880 there graduated the last student who was generally known to l e a member of the fraternity. I11 1881 the chapter made a test of the anti-fra-n PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN A SOUVENIR. ternity regulation by appeal to the Circuit Court of Tippecanoe county for a mandamus, to compel the faculty to admit members who would not subscribe to the iron-clad oath. The Circuit Court upheld the faculty. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the state, which reversed the decision of the lower court, and distinctly upheld the fraternity. This decision of the Supreme Court was not immediately followed by a repeal of the regulation, and the matter of the prohibitory rule was brought up in 1883 in the legislature, and vigorously discussed pro and con, and the contention over this point had much to do with the blocking of the University appropriation that session. The local chapter petitioned the faculty, through alumni members, many times between 1878 and 1885, and finally, after seven or eight years of mere semi-existence, was received and took its place among the active chapters. Since 1885 the members have held regular meetings in their hall, and, aside from the occasional diversions which college life always offers, they have encountered no startling adventures. They are inclined to bury the dead past and forget old animosities engendered during the fierce frat war of ’8i and ’82. The chapter prides itself on a large representation among the alumni, and also on the fact that during the fifteen years’ existence of the University, the members have always l een prominent in the literary societies and active in student enterprises. The total membership to date is about seventy-five. The chapter rooms are located in the Perrin Building in the city. OELTA DELTA CHAPTER, SIGMA CHI. A SOUVENIR. SIGMA CHI. DELTA DELTA CHAPTER.

E Kappa Sigma fraternity is one of the later Greek letter societies, coining into existence in 1867. It had its origin in the South, and a majority of the chapters have been organized in southern colleges and academies. Like all new organizations invading a territory occupied by older and well established rivals, it has encountered many difficulties, and a number of chapters have succumbed to adverse circumstances. Nevertheless, Kappa Sigma has grown in numbers and influence each year. The fraternity issues a quarterly magazine. Chi chapter was founded in 1885 by Augustus Rufiher and W. T. Thayer, both of '88. who had been members at the West Virginia Military Institute. Mr. Rufiher was an energetic fraternity man, high in the councils of the order, and one of the general officers. Largely through his efforts, the chapter started out with a dozen enthusiastic members. The chapter was sub rosa until 1887, since which time it has occupied a suite of rooms in the city. Chi chapter is unfortunate in being so entirely isolated from the other chapters of the fraternity, placing it in the position of a local society. The members of the Purdue chapter have been prominent in athletic sports, and the chapter has given several pleasant social entertainments. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN. A SOUVENIR. KAPPA SIGMA.

A | HK first meeting of the Irving Literary Society was held January 29, 1875, in the second story recitation room of the building now devoted exclusively to chemistry and pharmacy, at that time used as a recitation room for the preparatory class. There were fifteen charter members, of whom all but one are now living. The membership during the first three years did not at any time exceed twenty. The annual entertainment was given during commencement week of each year. The Irving had the field to itself for three years l efore the Philalethean, first known as the “Cereal,” was organized. In 1878 the society was assigned its present large and handsome room in the Main Building, which was completed during the fall of that year. The dedication exercises took place November 21, and were attended by Governor Williams, ex-Governor Hendricks, the President of the State University and .State Normal, the trustees and other distinguished visitors. From 1878 to 1881 the society was more or less rent by factions, and finally, in 1S81, when the membership had been “ Ixxnned ” up to seventy, A SOUVENIR. twenty-eight members withdrew and formed the Carlyle. A new constitution was then adopted, and the membership limited to forty. The society has experienced unvarying prosperity from 1881 up to the present time. The annual entertainment is given during the second week of the third term, and an open meeting is also given during each term session. The annual reunion occurs during commencement week, and consists of a banquet, toast programme and social session. The Irving is by far the oldest of any of the societies. Its membership to date is not far from 275. and nearly fifty presidents have wielded the gavel of authority. Its alumni members are scattered far and wide, and hold many places of honor and trust. The Irving has always taken an honest pride in the excellence of its literary work, and it has endeavored to l e in name and fact, a literary society. 10 PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN, A RAY of light broke through the gloom which shrouded early Purdue when the Philalethean was brought into existence. Since that eventful day. so important in the history of Purdue, eleven years have passed. Her life thus far has been happy and successful, for she has been nourished and reared with the tenderest care by those who have had her in charge. They have presided over her with a dignity befitting their position, and thus many laurels have l een laid upon her youthful brow. Her adherents have been many, for she has had a variety of social and literary advantages to offer them. Her constitution is almost perfect, considering her age, but sometimes her watchful guardians detect some slight flaw which they immediately remedy, if possible. Thus as the years go by, she becomes stronger, and the laws governing her are increased and perfected. In the Philalethean hall, which is shared with the Carlyle, are assembled every Friday afternoon about forty wise and witty members, A SOUVENIR. who for an hour devote themselves to literature and music. Every spring time, during the annuals, she displays her intellectual charms to the culture of La Fayette and the students of Purdue, giving them a slight conception of the literary ability which she has attained. At this time her best talent is brought forth, and it has always compared very favorably with that of the other Purdue societies. On one of the rare days in June, all her former devotees assemble and lor a while give themselves up to banqueting and merry-making. They call to mind reminiscences of college days and re-live the happy days spent in the old Philalethean hall. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN. THE Carlyle Literary Society was begun in 1881 by the fraternity element of the old Irving. The new society went smoothly along, meeting whenever it was kindly permitted to, in “No.3, the library, and among the skeletons in the basement, until it was finally domiciled with the Philalethean. The members were from the start bound together with a much closer feeling of friendship and unity than generally exists in such organizations. We felt we could not afford to waste any friendship we had. As a consequence, the Carlyle constitution became a model one in its harmonizing provisions, and the innovations introduced tended to keep the Carlyle spirit alive and active, even after college was finished. To many of us of the old regime, the name Carlyle even yet calls up a brotherly feeling for every one of that little group of thirty who met, week after week, and worked for the success we knew must come. “A charter member of Carlyle? Give us your hand, old fellow; we know what that means, don’t we?” We received visits occasionally from our friends, and one of our most vivid recollections is that of Mr. Haynes, the superin- A SOUVENIR. tendent of the farm, and his big basket of apples. Mr. Vestal, the greenhouse superintendent, came frequently to see us and wish us success. The first annual was a complete success, and showed the most invidious foe that there was something at work which would not down. We felt that we had the best literary talent of the University, and with the red and gold banner, and “Studcte Literaswe meant to march to the heights and stay there. Thus was Carlyle started on a successful course. Not the smallest part of that success was due to the staunch friendship of the lady friends who stood by us in the hardest fights. All honor to those to whom the credit is due. A reason easily apparent to the initiated has made Carlyle a leader in social matters at Purdue. The Carlyle picnics and hops are events long to be treasured in the memory of those who enjoyed them. That other societies have followed Carlyle’s lead in this line is not without meaning. So when we meet at the annual reunion, and see the faces of the old boys becoming fewer and fewer, we feel like saying to the new ones who wear the Roman sword, When you lose the old spirit that breathed through the name Carlyle, you will fall; when you make it stronger, you must stand at the very head. IN the fall of 1886, a number of Freshmen and Sophomores met for the purpose of organizing another literary society. Owing to the rapidly increasing number of students at the college, they deemed another society to be essential, and definite action was accordingly taken. Various committees were appointed, and the laborious work of framing a constitution was begun. With headquarters at the dormitory—that place where so many schemes have been born and fostered the necessary work was rapidly completed. It was not, however, until the spring of 1887 that the faculty finally granted a charter to the new society, the “Emersonian.” Like the other literary societies of Purdue, the Emersonians have for their objects, social and mental culture; social culture by the association of its individual members, mental culture by the performance of the various literary duties of the society. The Emersonian society is no longer an infant, although young in years. It has given its annual entertainments and its open meetings, and in each case has compared favorably with the older societies. Its members, overcoming the many obstacles in their way, are faithfully carrying out their motto: “ I Vie die Arbeit, so die Bclohnung. THE SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY N February, 1883, a few students and several members of the faculty met and organized a Natural History, or Scientific Society. The first meeting was held in the biological laboratory of the Main Building, Prof. C. R. Barnes acting as temporary chairman. This organization at Purdue was the result of a talk in which were portrayed the workings of a Scientific Society in the Michigan Agricultural School. At each regular monthly meeting one or more papers are read, bearing upon subjects of scientific interest and importance. This society is the only one in college which admits men of all classes. President and prep, professor and student meet in one common interest. It has for its aim the promotion of science and general intelligence. From the time of its organization until to-day, it has proven itself one of the most beneficial societies ever established at Purdue, a credit and an honor to the college. THE “PURDUE EXPONENT.” fv commencement of that eventful year of 1888, bringing with it all the joys and gladness that are ever present on such gala occasions when enhanced by the beauties of a bright summer day, witnessed the last moments of our beloved college monthly, The Purdue. It had come and risen in time of adversity, lived a long and useful life in the time of prosperity, but now, when in the height of its glory, its life cords were snapped in twain and it was sent to join that fast increasing army of magazines whose sole object is to leave behind the many cares and responsibilities of the busy world and bury themselves in the unremembered past. Its downfall, which would have occurred sooner or later had it continued under the old constitution, was hastened by the 1889 editors, who assumed the responsibility of getting out an issue for the month of June. This was in conflict with the will of the faculty. The constitution was brought forth, examined and found to l e faulty. As a remedy a new constitution was advised, but the societies and the faculty could not agree upon a document, so the publication of the paper was discontinued. Thus the matter rested till the fall term of the following school year. During this year—1888-89—the societies, the question, “Shall we have a college paper?” was again agitated. The fall, winter and spring terms were spent in this discussion, but when June arrived they were no nearer a conclusion than they were at the first of the year. But when the days of September of 1889 brought back the students to their duties, the prospects for a paper were far brighter than they had been the year before. The class of 1889 had gone. The faculty, seeing the advantages that a paper in the interests of the University would bring A SOUV iNfR. them, gave their consent to a constitution that had been drawn up. The societies, now four in number, the Emersonian having been founded in 1887, each elected its editors, and in December the first issue of the new organ made its appearance under the name of the Purdue Exponent. The new monthly was everywhere greeted with kind words and encouragement. The design on the cover is artistic, for which the designer justly merits praise. The editorial staff is composed of three representatives from each literary society, numbering twelve in all, elected to serve one year. At present the offices are filled with competent persons who are uniting their efforts to build up the interests of the paper and bring it on a level with its fellows. The Exponent has come to stay, probably, as there is little prospect of another 1889 ever getting into Purdue. Y. M. C.A.-Y. W. C.A. JURDUE University has, among her other organizations, a Young Men’s Christian Association. Founded in 1884,its history, for the past six years, is one of even prosperity and continued interest. The weekly meetings, occurring on Wednesday evening before study hours, are given to devotional exercises which occupy a short space of time. As the number of students has increased from year to year, the membership on the records has also increased, and at present there are enrolled the names of forty-two active members. This branch of work in the University is not wholly confined to the young men. In the fall of 1889 the young ladies organized a Y. W. C. A., selecting Monday afternoon as their time of meeting. In both of these organizations a large amount of interest has l een taken by the students. Working quietly and unpretentiously, their work in the past has been effective. With the future opening so brightly before them, with prospects so inviting, there is much to warrant the l elief that the twin associations will long continue to exercise a healthy and leavening influence. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN PURDUF. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. Athletic Association was organized in January, 1890, and its object is to regulate the sports at Purdue, not only by providing a system to train men in various games, but also to arrange opportunities that the various teams may meet other college men to test strength and skill. The association will regulate principally base ball and foot ball, and with the aid of the faculty, intends to equip the gymnasium for the gen eral use of students. Every person in the college is eligible to membership, and the success of the association depends at all times uj on the hearty co-operation of all the students, for nothing so induces a player to do his l est as the encouragement and enthusiasm of his fellows. This spring the association controls the action of the base ball nine in a series of games with the Indiana colleges. OFFICERS. Ciias. Gough, ’90.....................President. J. C.

FOOT ball, though a rough and dangerous game, is, for this reason, perhaps, an exciting sport—a game in which old men and young men, and the ladies as well, are equally interested; a game which once seen is never to be forgotten. The timid may cower and shrink from a “scrimmage”; there is nothing that will cause the blood to leap in an old college man’s veins as when he hears the half-smothered cry of 14 down! ” from the man underneath, or when a goal is made by some dashing runner. Among the athletic sports at Purdue, that good old English game ranks second to no other. In recent years much progress has been made in the training of the team, and to-day we possess an eleven that will not be excelled by any other college in the Indiana League. It was in 1887-88 that Purdue entered the lists with the other colleges; but little was known of the game then by any of the students, and, as a result, we could not feel confident of success. However, after a few weeks’ training, a fairly good eleven was chosen; but we were defeated by Butler, which college was the first to introduce the game to the colleges of the state. The fall of 1888 passed with no games played. The spirit seemed to have died out, but later developments proved that it was “ not dead, but only sleeping.” Early in the autumn of 1889 a college foot ball association was formed by the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis, and Purdue again entered to compete for the laurels. Among the 450 students the prime movers in the matter saw much good material for a foot ball “eleven.” The boys were put into training early in the season, and, when the time arrived for the first game, a noble set of fellows donned the moleskins and canvas jackets, and entered the arena. Good coaching, iron muscle and an abundance of “ wind ” carried the first day, Purdue winning easily the game with DePauw. Two weeks later a hotly contested game was won from Wabash on their own grounds, and Thanksgiving day the final game was played PURDUE FOOT BALL ELEVEN-1889. A SOUVENIR. with Butler to decide the state championship. Our men had not entirely recovered from their blows received in the two previous games, and, having a formidable adversary with whom to cope, we were unfortunately defeated, but not without a manly struggle. So much for a good rush line, a good coacher and the good will of both students and faculty — second place for 1889, with bright prospects for the championship in 1890. FOOT BALL ELEVEN. Gko. A.

The nine first came prominently to the front about 1880 by successively defeating several college teams and amateur clubs, and playing a creditable game with the Indianapolis Association nine. Of course Purdue lost. In 18.85 the nine was strengthened by a battery composed of Miller, ’86, and Dickison, '87, pharmacy. So long as these men were in college the nine was invincible. When they left the team lacked a battery. In the fall of ’87 Purdue entered the lists fora series of intercollegiate games. During the year Purdue won a game, and was awarded two on a forfeit, as follows: April 21, 1888, at Purdue—Wabash 18; Purdue 7. May 30, 1888, at Bloomington—Purdue, 3; State Utiiv., 2. June 2, 1888, at La Fayette—Purdue, 9; DePauw, o. June 8, 1888, at La Fayette—Purdue, 9; Butler, o. In the fall of 1888, two games were played with Wabash, and Purdue was twice victorious. This was largely due to the effective work of L. J. Hord, ‘89, pharmacy, who was in the l ox. In 1889-90 the team has not made an enviable record. Wabash twice defeated the Purdue team with ease. What we lacked was practice, team work and a battery. Purdue has individual brilliant players, and when the team gets into practice, the state championship will come this way. A SOU TEN IR. A scheme has now been perfected for a schedule of games between Indiana college nines, under the auspices of the state V. M. C. A. The league is composed of Purdue, Wabash, Butler, DePauw, Bloomington and Hanover. All professionals and special matriculates will be barred. Each team plays a game with every other, and the championship is awarded to the one making the largest percentage. Following is the roster of the team on April i, 1890: A. G. Moody, c. L. J. Hord, p. J. C. Goodwin, sub. p. and capt. A. Right, s. s. C. Witt, 1st b. C. Olds, 2nd b. J. M. Dresser, Jr., 3rd b. N. Morrill, c. f. W. Knight, 1. f. R. Lackey, r. f. F. Hough am, sub. By liberal cash subscriptions and attendance at all games, the students have made the eleven a success, and the same backing must be given the nine. Purdue has taken the proper initiatory steps by engaging a good coacher, and putting the players through a stiff course of training. TENNIS AT PURDUE. AWN TENNIS’ popularity at Purdue lies in the fact that it may be enjoyed by the lady element of the college; nor are all men so constituted that they can appreciate a lively game of base ball, or live through even a modest game of modern foot ball. Lawn tennis has been played at Purdue since 1882 ; it was first introduced by Miss Peck, instructor in Latin, and ever since has had a host of admirers and energetic participants. Lawn tennis is frequently sneered at by those sturdy youths who find more pleasure in making a touch-down than eating a Hall supper: but nevertheless it supplies a want for exercise to those mind workers whose eyes have assumed a leaden hue, and whose muscles are shriveled from neglect. The game affords a lively yet not a violent exercise, and the weary student finds tennis a most acceptable respite from study. On bright warm days the campus in front of the Main Building is a scene of mirth and interest. Eleven courts are laid out on the smooth turf, and the game is indulged in by old and young, the wise and the simple, and occasionally beauty lingers to enjoy a set. The professor, the president and the preps alike succumb to the charms of tennis. This has l een a remarkable year for tennis, and every month during the last year the balls have been tossed over the nets stretched on the green. Tennis is given a prestige at Purdue by the patronage of such wise LAWN TENNIS AT PURDUE PURDIJF AI 11M NI ASSN .1 SOirVEN K. men as Professors Coulter, Phillips, Creighton, Golden, Arthur, Carmen, Turner and Sholl. • At the tournament held last fall the badge of honor was given to Miss Charline McRae. FIELD DAY AT PURDUE. N class day, 1887, field day athletics were introduced at Purdue. To the class of 1887, insignificant in numbers, the University owes the institution of class day and the accompanying athletic programme. The first field day was a success from a popular standpoint, but a disappointment as regards the records made. There had been little or no training for the different contests, and the entire programme was in the nature of an experiment. Since then, a great interest has been taken, and the sharpest rivalry has existed between classes in the fight for honors. Several records have been made which approach those of professionals. If a visitor wishes to see Purdue at its best he should be at the field day sports. Class enthusiasum runs high. Class colors flutter from hundreds of lapels. Class yells mingle in harmonious discord. And the amateur athletes range themselves along the rope and pull like Trojans, all for the glory of being carried away on somebody’s shoulders.

With the prompt sun arose the gay picnickers And quick attired themselves in queer, outlandish manner. Some wore the gaudy trappings of militia, others The garish knickerbockers, and a few Put on their Sunday suits, and blacked their shoes. Then flannel shirts of many hues, and scarfs Of odd appearance were unearthed and worn, And then some girt themselves with sashes, A SOUVENIR. Or else with belts, and few wore galluses ; One smoked a pipe, and many cigarettes. At the Hall there was a running to and fro, Activity was there, but yet no bustle, for Picnic costumes are not built that way. Upon the floor were baskets heaping full Of treacherous salad and large healthy buns, And cakes with much red sugar on the top. Soon down the gravel walk gay couples sped, The one carried a shawl, and he, the other, A basket and a parasol, likewise A camp stool, camera and a tennis net. Upon the steamer’s deck, and on the barge, Down where the stately skiffs are moored, A crowd had soon collected, and they jostled About the barrel full of lemonade, and quaffed Quite freely, and made ready for the trip. Perhaps an hour, or maybe two, after the time Of advertised departure, the plank is drawn, and then The voyage is begun. The dagos play a waltz, And he who trips only the plain quadrille. Sits on the upper deck, and smokes, and rocky feels, While his best girl goes through the mazy dance With a rival. The waltz strains die away; The caller mounts a chair and loudly howls, Until his eyes hang out upon his cheeks, And the brash amateur who never danced before. Gets in his work, and walks on people’s feet. y PURDfJF Af iimmi aq N A SOUVENIR. And stops the dance, and makes the caller mad. A Freshman desperado coolly draws A small-sized cannon, and proceeds to shoot At marks along the shore, and grimly smiles When asked to stop before he kills himself. Four gay and giddy people may be seen Out on the forward deck, engaged in whist. Determined each to have a time; and plunge Headlong into the wildest dissipation. Between the dances, some adventurous fiend, Begins with quavering voice, “ My Bonnie Lies”— But ere he perpetrates a single line, The cries of anguish cut his effort short. Before the welcome Black Rock comes to view The programme has become informal, quite; Some sing, some dance, some don’t, some pass the word That So-and-So has waltzed with her four times, Neglecting in a shameful way the one Whose basket he had carried down the hill. A hat or two may lie lost overboard, and dresses, Spotless at starting, are soiled and flecked with soot; In fact, the whole assemblage seems to wear A mussed-up and a holiday appearance. When the old Russell swings against the bank, Under the shadow of the lieetling Black Rock, The crowd makes haste to go ashore, and climb The steepest hills, and tear their clothes, or else Collect in groups, and face the glowing sun, And have their pictures taken by the “ artist.” ’Tis twelve o’clock, and there are cries for food, And hunger stamps itself on every face, And then the wail goes forth that careless ones Have left the ice uncovered, till a ton Has melted down to just a few small lumps. The lemonade is gone, so four young men, Who came along as stags, are started out To find a farm house, and some HsO. Meanwhile the snowy cloths are spread along The ground, and luncheon baskets are unloaded. Potato salad, chicken salad, lobster salad, pie, A SOUVENIR. Ham sandwiches, deviled eggs, veal patties, buns, Fig cake, white cake, angel’s food, and cookies, Sweet pickles, sour pickles, olives — what a spread A swift destruction waits the fair array Of tempting eatables, and, it must be said That some, half-crazed by hunger, do not act As one accustomed to swell dinner parties, Hut if remonstrance should be offered such, The information is imparted back, that At Soph picnics everything must go. The little ants make merry with the rest, And crawl about upon the cake, and gorge Themselves with sweets, and have a pleasant time. The daddy-long-legs interviews the pie, And wood-ticks wander up the trousers leg. The first to leave the picnic spread are two, Who take a hammock with them as they go; Disciples of stuckology are they, Who fain would shake the balance of the crowd. The afternoon goes by, alas, too swiftly, And merry are the moments as they fly; The varied forms of picnic entertainment Amuse the people left upon the Russell, Hut a majority have fled into the forest, Far from the picnic crowd’s ignoble guys, To pluck spring flowers, and spoon on mossy logs. ’Tis five o’clock too soon, and the bright sun u A SOUVENIR. Which, as aforesaid, tipped with its splendor The dorm, and the gas tank, and the engine house, Now casts benign and rather slanting rays Upon the picnic people homeward bound. They crowd upon the barge in wild disorder, With costumes ntgligl and hair unkempt, With coats ripped up the back, and dresses muddy, They sing, and shout, and call for more to eat. The puffing Russell battles with the current. And seems, at times, to scarcely move at all, And when the homeward trip is half completed, The darkness shrouds the brave and gallant craft. The smoky lanterns cast a gruesome light Upon the dancers prancing to and fro. And often from some corner dark there come The soft and gurgled accents of the mashed. A SOUVENIR. Heedless of fleeting hours or sand banks dread, The devotees of pleasure whoop and howl, And load the passing zephyrs with refrains Of college songs, or musical class yells, And every one regrets to see once more The twinkling lights along the eastern bank. The wharf is reached, the baskets sorted out; With three hoarse cheers, and many fond “good nights,” The mob disperses, while the steamer’s crew, Repairs the wreck and ruin left behind. With footsteps slow, and rather halting gait. Once more they wander up the gravel walk; The one carries a shawl, and he, the other, A basket and a parasol, likewise A camp stool, camera and a tennis net. He says good night, and leaves her at the door. And weak and foot-sore dorm ward takes his way, And she cries after him. “ O. Mr. Blank, I’ve really had a lovely time to-day.” PURDUE AUWM I. WHEN the crisp autumnal zephyrs whistle through the leafless trees: When croquet is a sweet regret and tennis is non est; When the base ball player stays in doors for fear that he will freeze, And the picnic trousers.get a needed rest; When Mackinaws and yellow shoes are packed away with care, And the summer sash becomes a muffler gay, Then the college foot ball specialist emerges from his lair, And buckles up his armor for the fray.

No more with boon companions does he paint the college town, And fill the peaceful residents with dread.

FACULTY RECEPTIONS. HE evening mail has come, and with it that long expected unsealed envelope. The student knows it well, and glad of the thought of a little society event to vary the monotony of books, he hails with delight the coming of the faculty reception. Thrice in the history of Purdue have such invitations been received and thrice have been accepted. A faculty reception! Oh, we’ve all been there l efore, many a time,” but on this particular occasion we arc assured of a warm and hearty welcome instead of a hot one; and more than one appear before the faculty that night. During the evenings of these happy events, the two dormitories stand vacant and tenantless, silent for once. Not a sound is heard, and all-forsaken do they seem. Hut at the banquet hall, how different is the scene! The soft mellowness of incandescent lights is put to shame by the sparkling eyes of the assembled guests. The timid, shrinking Soph who “flunked” but yesterday can scarce believe his eyes when greeted by so sweet a smile and so low a bow from A SOI'VENIR. that very same professor. He moves onward soliloquizing that the reception committee of to-night will be the discipline committee of to-morrow. The evening flies so swiftly by, the hours seem scarcely minutes, until the plaintive air of “ Home, Sweet Home bids the student seek his four square walls, to dream sweet dreams, perhaps of the faculty reception. RETROSPECTION. TTTHEN first with awkward wavs and verdant mien The emld granger, just from home, is seen, Closely attached unto an ancient “grip, With intent firm of culture's cup to sip; We see ourselves as others saw ns, once, In social rudiments a very dunce. We well remember how, with ardor burning. is A SOI rVEN A We leaned against the iron gate of Learning, And glancing up the rocky steep of Fame. Forthwith resolved that we would mount the same; With hay-seed intermingled in our hair, With open mouth and idiotic stare, With clumsy gestures and with shambling gait, We lumbered onward, searching foi our Fate; And having interviewed, the “ Prex ” so stern. And numerous professors in their turn, We safe impale, on Learning’s hook, a bait, And drop our line, a real matriculate. Our retrospection turns to Freshman days; And through the curtain dim of memory’s haze We see a crowd come rushing into view, With yells that far discount the wildest Sioux. The “ melon-colic ” season suits them well, And where the eggs go, not a soul can tell: At Hallowe’en, when fairies are astir, Their pranks surprise Queen Mab, and shame e’en her And ammunition they reserve in store, To pester every worthy Sophomore. Where’er a chance for eating is allowed, The Freshmen always flock there in a crowd; And when capacity has met its fill They load their pockets with a wondrous will— A rambling, roaring, raving, raging raft; That has a hand in jokes of every craft, A genial, hearty crowd the whole day long, A whole soul in a body stout and strong. A noble Sophomore, sedate and wise, With mighty learning learning from his eyes; With anxious wile his hook he slowly baits, And for conclusions sits him down, and waits; A Socrates is he of all his class, And reckons every other man an ass. With massive head bowed low in mighty thought, Deep he will dig for jewels long unsought; A SOUVENIR. The Senior e’en knows not so much as he; He oft explains to profs some mystery, And scarce can think the living fact is true, That this small world is large enough for two. The jaunty Junior trips along the green, With tie, the like of which has ne’er been seen; A stylish hat and slender little cane; A collar of which no one can complain. Upon his lip a shadow light appears, That gives fair promise for the coming years. His forte exclusive lietli with the girls, And oft to each one he his tongue unfurls; His heart is broken many a luckless time, And he is melted with a grief sublime; Yet he survives it with a wondrous power, And starts a new flirtation every hour. If maiden coy his softened heart doth break, It leaves no “blasted future” in its wake; And so he passes through the Junior year, A very gallant youth, a cavalier, Our Senior, sturdy, steady, tried and true, Now with great majesty heaves into view. Before him, lo, he sees, with smiling eyes, His sheep-skin; dear, long-looked-for, wished-for prize. He peers into the future to decide Which art, trade or profession to bestride, And with a prospect spread so fair and bright, Sees naught of dark, inevitable night. The sea of Life is lying broad before; What may there be upon the distant shore? His barque is lightly rocking on the wave That may, perchance, but prove the sailor’s grave, And bows unto the sea, with modest pride, Which, rippling, laughing, sparkles at her side; And as he notes the signs of dawning day, With brave desire he longs to speed away ; But once he turns with honest, grateful heart, Regretful that the time has come to part. A SOUVENIR. When far in distant lands the students roam; When many weary miles from friends and home; When care weighs heavy on each manly brow; Nor smiles come quickly to the lips, as now; When struggling on the battle-field of Life, And oft near beaten in the fretful strife; A restful feeling comes as we review The memories sweet of friends at old Purdue. Karl, 85. CO-EDUCATION. HK question is, “ Is co-education a success at Purdue ?” Rather. Ivook at the alumni record, and see the list of fortunate Bachelors who found wives among their classmates. Many a Purdue man has sat upon the stone steps with a fair classmate, the two reading from the same book, and, as they became absorbed in study and each other, Cupid stepped from behind the hedge and bagged both of them. Is co-education a success? The idea of asking such a question ! Yet co-education, with its manifold and obvious advantages, did not A SOUVENIR. always exist at Purdue. The faculty tried to get along without any female adjuncts for a year or two, and then gave it up. The only remarkable thing is that they ever tried it at all. Any attempt to throw co-education out of the Purdue curriculum would result in a riot. You will not find in the Souvenir any attempt to describe the typical Purdue girl. It would be another instance of trying to gild refined gold and touch up the lily with water-colors. The editors do not feel equal to the task of putting into cold type the myriad traits of her lovable character. Our artist, however, has attempted to present a fair likeness of her in the initial letter illustration on the preceding page. The picture does not flatter her. The other illustration, at the top of the page, should not have been inserted, as it is a gross libel on the better half, or third, of Purdue. The likeness of the typical Purdue man in this illustration is not so bad. fHE DEADLY MATH. A Junior sat with his head on his hands, In his room not overly clean; Not a sound was there save the throb of his heart, And the hiss of escaping steam. He thought of days in the dim, distant past, When a boy, so happy and free, He had wandered down by the rippling brook, Or had chased the bumble-bee, A memory came of his first tender love, A maiden of sweet sixteen, And a sigh came forth as he thought of that face And those beautiful eyes—his queen. PURDUE ALUMNI ASSN. A SOUVENIR. His mind came back from its trip to the past, And its course very slowly he checks, For before him looms up that accursed of snags, The eighth differential of x. To calculus then he tried to come back, But alas! his reason, it fled! With a dx here and an integral there, I regret to say he was dead. IN CAMP. S FTEN we hear it said: “As much valor is found in feasting as in fighting.’ Therefore there was much valor at Camp J. H. Smart, down in the edge of the Wea Plains. This was a camp of the Purdue Cadets in May, 1889. The amount and manner o(the feasting was really marvelous, especially the latter. It is certain that many surprised themselves with the amount of valor developed, displaying an amount which would have alarmed their friends at home. This development of a latent passion (for pork and beans) was most severe on our very efficient commissary, as he was continually compelled to divide himself (or his time) between camp and the base of supplies, about five miles away, that there might l e no languishing. But he did it well. When our first supply of coffee came to us in the whole bean, he hesitated not, but sallied forth to the neighboring peasantry and informed them of their country’s needs, and brought back two coffee mills. The greatest mistake of this expedition on the part of the military authorities was in not having closed a written contract with Jupiter Pluvius beforehand. For this neglect, old Pluve just tried himself and fairly rained down his maledictions. But like true soldiers, what cared they when they had ten-ounce canvas over them ? But, how Pluve did catch them that Thursday at dinner time, when the soldiers must come out ! He had been damming up his hoarded 16 A SOVVESJR. water, and lie just with one mighty jerk pulled the plug out! And that opening was vertically opposite Camp Smart, and the effect was awful-on the loaded tin plates filled with various ingredients. Nevertheless J. P. had to give it lip, and on Friday and Saturday old Sol came out and rejoiced with the valorous youths l elow, and all felt gocd. Lots of fun was had at target practice, hut the little red flag was nearly worn out, telling the man with a gun that they had heard him shoot, but that the target had escaped with its life. The big guns were kept at work, too, pumping iron projectiles at the unoffending slopes in the vicinity of the camp. The hills barely escaped, and so did the peasant in the field beyond, where he was plowing, perfectly ignorant of having artlessly come into range. Abner H. Pickering, U. S. A. THE DORM.

OU are a reporter for the Souvenir ? ” “Yes, sir.” “ And you wish permission to visit our young men’s dormitory ? ” “If you please, sir.” “What is the object of your visit, may I ask ?1 ’ “ I wish to get some interior views for insertion in the Souvenir, and also desire to interview some of the young men in regard to the forms of social diversion by which they while away their hours.” “ Before I pass upon this matter, it will be necessary for me to consult the president and faculty. Call around next Friday afternoon.” The disappointed applicant withdrew from the presence of the “ professor in charge.” Upon the following Friday afternoon he waited in the hallway while the faculty considered his application. At the end of an hour the following was passed out to him: THE BEARER MAY VISIT THE DORM ONCE. Prexy. It is only by conforming to this elaborate red-tape system that any one, not an occupant of the home for studious young men, can obtain A SOUVENIR. entrance thereto. Other regulations of the faculty have, at various times, been regarded as existing in a Pickwickian sense, but the rule in regard to visiting the dorm has always been rigidly enforced. The dorm stands at a considerable distance from any other college building — a wise provision. It may be approached with safety at any time during the summer vacation ; at other times it would be better to provide a rubber coat or an umbrella. The building is four stories high, and contains about thirty suites of rooms. The architecture of the build- ing is of a hybrid nature, a mixture of the adobe and Egyptian schools. A view of the exterior affords no intimation of the elegant interior furnishings. This is why the people who never received a faculty permit to go through the building, are inclined to regard the dorm as an insig- A SOUVENIR. nificant feature of the University. To appreciate the dorm, you must inspect it thoroughly. Any one desiring to visit an inmate rings at the front door and sends up his card. He will usually be admitted, if he has a permit, unless he calls during study hours. Entering the front door, you find yourself in a large corridor, plainly but elegantly furnished. From this corridor doors open to the various suites. Chandeliers are pendent from the frescoed A FRESCO. ceiling. All the frescoing was done by the students. A broad stairway leads to the second landing. There is a continuous stair railing from the first floor to the fourth. The stairways and landings are so constructed A SOUVENIR. that a person leaning over the railing on the fourth floor can accurately locate a person on any of the lower floors. This peculiarity of construction has given rise to the practice of “ hugging the wall.” The uninitiated man gaily goes up the stairway three steps at a time and makes a sharp turn around the railing. As he does so, he places himself in range. If any one al ove is “laying” fora personal enemy, he may find the temptation too great, and take out his revenge on the new man. Besides, he can get more water, if he needs it. STAINED C.LASS WINDOW. To describe in detail every apartment of the large building would not be advisable, if it were possible. I,et us take a typical suite of rooms, one by which all may be judged. You are admitted by one of the two occupants and step inside. If it is your first visit, you are dazzled. A heavy Moquette covers the floor, and you appear to walk upon a carpet of roses. A subdued light filters into the room through stained windows partially concealed by heavy curtains. Upon the wall are etchings, water-colors and portraits of former occupants. The easy chairs and a luxurious divan A SOUVENIR. give an air of comfort to the room, but the hand-carved bookcase in one corner, filled with well thumbed volumes, indicates that the occupants do not vegetate in idleness. Articles of brie a brae are placed here and there, in apparent carelessness, but the general effect is pleasing. Stepping from the reception room into the boudoir, you find upon one side the student’s couch, covered with its snowy spread, and upon the other side the mirror and dresser and the lavatory. One can not help but exclaim, after inspecting the elegant apartments : “ Who would not lie a student, and dwell in the dorm ? ” The building is divided into two sections, and each side is under the supervision of a member of the faculty, but the presence of the professor in charge is not often demanded. In the early history of the building some of the rooms were used for recitation halls, and several professors occupied apartments on the lower floor. The presence of the professors was annoying to the students, and the former soon vacated. The dorm is a building in which one may spend a pleasant hour, rambling through the corridors and looking over the autographs and inscriptions on the walls.

ANI) now in behalf of the--------society allow me to welcome you to this, our------th annual entertainment. In doing so, I believe I speak for every member of our society when I say that we are always glad to see our friends, not only at our annual entertainments, but also at our regular meetings. As a society, we feel that the present year has been one of great interest and profit to all of 11s. Emerson says: “----- -------------------------------1 How true this is, as applied to our literary work! Here, by our training in debate and parliamentary law we are fitting ourselves for the great struggle of life. We are laying the foundation for the future. As the poet very aptly says: • ________________________________ ________________________________ The first on the programme is Mr.-----------, oration, “The Future Destiny of----------- The applause is deafening and the reporter 011 the front row jots down, “a scholarly production well delivered.” Then, as the handclapping dwindles down to a few particular friends of the president, and finally dies out, the orator clears his throat, advances his left foot and requests us to go back with him a few thousand years so that we may gradually work up to the subject. The spell-binder takes the audience, collectively and figuratively, by the hand, and leads it around through the moss-grown ruins of antiquity, ever and anon explaining why certain once powerful nations have ceased to transact business at the old stand. This being done, he exposes the Present, and proceeds to examine its pulse, respiration and temperature, and makes a diagnosis of the Disease. Then he prescribes the Remedy — Education of the Masses. Then he pauses for a moment, lifts his right hand and tears in twain the veil that hides the Future. By the aid of his “ prophetic vision ” he tells us how the people a few centuries hence will be free and happy and smart, and there will l)e no more strikes, riots, elections, courts or jails. The orchestra in the gallery brings the audience back to the rude present by rendering some appropriate comic opera music, and the de-claimer steps forward in the capacity of thriller. He has rehearsed over and over every intonation and gesture, and he is fortunate if the hearers A SOUVENIR. do not perceive this. The repertoire of the annual declaimer includes “The Raven,” “ Horatius at the Bridge,” “The Polish Boy,” The Black Horse and His Rider,” “The Baron’s Last Banquet” and several humorous selections. Sometimes he is not up in his delivery, but, as a rule, the declamation is well written. The annual essayist is handicapped in the contest for honors; he has no chance to work in dramatic effects, figurative red lights. At the same time, he never breaks down in the middle of some high-flown apostrophe, as many an orator has done. The reception succeeds the entertainment. The audience follows the eight literati into the society hall, and offers congratulations. The proper form is, “ Mr.---------, allow me to congratulate you. Your ---------- was the best thing of the evening.” LOOKING BACKWARD. J. II. S.—“Gracious; but haven’t we grown siuce then?” AN IMPROVEMENT ON WILLIS. THEY may talk of love in a cottage, And bowers of trellised vine, And nature bewitchingly simple, And milkmaid half divine; They may talk of the pleasures of sleeping In the shade of a spreading tree, And a walk in the fields at morning. By the side of a footstep free. But give me a sly flirtation By the light of a chandelier, At the Boarding Hall of the college, And no third person near; Or a seat on that silken sofa— Great heavens ! who could decline? When there’s nobody there to discover That small white hand in mine. PREPS. A SOUVENIR. L See the pump! Is it a good pump? No, it was a good pump once, but some one has sawed it. Who could have done it ? Some young boys, per-haps. They think it great fun to saw a pump. This is a college joke. When the boys get old-er, they will tell what great fun they had at school, saw-ing pumps. Pump Sawed Col-lege Joke Great School A SOUVENIR. II. Here we have a Hall girl. Get on to her hat. Does she chew gum ? Some-times. What is that in her hand ? It is a book. Is it a text-book ? No, it is “The Quick or the Dead ’ Can the girl sing ? She thinks she can and so she tries. Has the girl a mash? Ver-y like-ly. If she has not, it is her fault. Will she have a mash next year ? O yes, but it will not be the same one she has this year. She gets a new one each year. Is she hap-py? She ought to be. Some-times Text-book Mash Like-ly Gum Notebook A SOUVENIR. III. Ah, who is this ? This is a prof. See how he smiles. Why does he smile ? He will soon give his pu-pils an ex-am, and he knows that some will flunk. So he smiles. What will he ask his pu-pils at the ex-am.? Something they do not know, per-haps. Is it right for him to do so? No, it is cru-el. Will a good boy grow up to be a prof ? Yes, if he is not too good. If he is too good, he will not grow up at all. Is a prof happy ? No, not at all times, but al-ways at an ex-am. Prof Pu-pils Smiles Cruel I lap-py Ex-am A SOUVENIR. IV. A boy and a let-ter. The letter has just come in the mail. What is in the let-ter ? It tells the boy to spend less and write of-ten. The boy thinks there is some mon-ey in the let-ter. When he o-pens it he will cuss. Is it right for him to cuss? Yes, if he has no mon ey and owes for his board and books and oth-er things, it is prop-er for him to cuss for some time. He has no mon-ey and what will he do ? O, he will see if he can find a man who will lend him some. Will he find the man ? He may, but we do not know. Let-ter Mail Mon-ey Prop-er Cuss Board A SOUVENIR. V. A small horse. Is there no other name for a small horse ? Yes, it is called a po ny. Can you ride the po-ny ? O yes, but it is not safe to do so. The po-ny is use-ful and we will learn to love him and will ride him of ten. There are many kinds of po-nies and a good ri-der can use any one of them. The po-ny is pret-ty and the time may come when you would be glad to have one, so you can ride. Po-ny Use-ful Rider Pret-ty Of-ten Glad A SOUVENIR. VI. A ca-det in his nice suit. Is he not sweet? Yes, he is too sweet to live, but he lives just the same and wears his suit all of the time. Does he wear it at night? We do not know that. Does he wear it when he goes to town ? Yes, he wears it to town and walks stiff and looks a-head. He is a ca-det and he does not care who knows it. When he puts on his white gloves he looks great. He will sit for a pho-to and wear his suit. Then he will send the pho-to home. Ca-det Stiff Gloves Suit Pret-ty Pho-to i A SOUVENIR. VII. A big: book. Is it a nice book? It does not look bad but if you read it you will find it is not a good book. The book is for a mech. Does the mech. like to read the book ? No, but he will sit up and read it late at night, and he will read the same page two or three times. He does not like the book but reads it to please the prof. Is this right? No, if the mech. does not like the book, he should not read it. Book Mech Night Prof Read Please ■1 THE COLLEGE WIDOW. HEN I was but a Freshman — and that was long ago — I saw her first, but did not learn her name; She was at a lecture, I believe, in the first or second row, And the Junior with her seemed to be her flame. He held her fan all evening and gazed into her eyes; Thought I, “Now, they’re engaged, or soon will be;” But afterward they quarreled, as I learned with some surprise, When the faculty conferred on him G. B. That very spring a rumor in the college circles spread, That a Senior had her young affections snared, And after he had graduated, then the two would wed; 'Twas even said her trousseau was prepared. But this was surely a canard; when I returned next fall, She had a young professor on the string; He used to send her flowers, and frequently would call, And kindly turn her music when she’d sing. A SOUVENIR. The prof received an offer from some college in the east, And left quite unexpectedly one day; Within a week the charmer wasn’t grieving in the least, When I saw her with a Freshman at the play. She had a gay flirtation with a special, taking art: I went with him to call, one Sunday night: He kindly introduced me, then I played a villain’s part, For I made a mash, and knocked him out of sight. O, charming college widow, I never can forget The night when you put on my college pin; I pressed your hand and told you that the act you’d not regret, And you said you’d stick to us through thick and thin. I remember still the picnics and that moonlight promenade, Just the night before I paid for my degree, When we interchanged such sacred vows, and declarations made That we’d love each other through eternity. I heard from you quite often; I liked your letters, too; They were spicy, and chuck full of college news; But the interval between them soon became a month or two, And our courtship seemed its interest to lose; I didn't write for full three months, and one day I received, By express, collect, each love-sick billet doux, And though I swore that I had been both jilted and deceived, I returned your letters, paid the charges too ! Last commencement I revisited the scenes of college life; Six years had brought about a wondrous change. I knew a few professors who were glad to meet my wife, But the students all seemed out of place and strange. There was little to recall to me the olden time so sweet, And so it was a pleasure, you may know, At the field-day exercises, unexpectedly to meet An acquaintance of the happy long ago. A SOUVENIR. She looked but little older, her laugh was just as gay; Beside her was a gallant Sophomore, Who held her parasol aloft and gushed the self-same way That I had doubtless done in days of yore. I merely tipped my hat; I feared to introduce my wife, For I knew that some remark might lightly fall, Revealing to my better half a chapter of my life, Which I’d rather she should not suspect at all. V .N! PURPUf- THE MAIDEN’S PRAYER. “He is brave and young and handsome; Spare his life, for it would seem We will need him on the rush line, When we play the Butler team.” A DAY DREAM. “THE LA GRIPPE. AM not hypercritical on points of punctuation ; A misplaced comma now and then is surely not a sin ; I overlook the sundry breaks of com • mon conversation. And only wince a little when a “ have saw ” edges in ; To wretched double negatives some friends are much addicted, They knife the good King’s English, and revel in its gore ; These queer idiosyncrasies are never contradicted, For I would not seem pedantic or appear a learned bore. But, The whiskered proverbs tell us—and I know they tell us truly— That forbearance as a virtue cannot always be construed; And the camel’s dorsal vertebne, if weighted down unduly, Will sustain a compound fracture with a fatal promptitude. And, When a college maiden, intellectual and charming, Sends me a little perfumed note, regretful in its tone, ao JRDUF M.UMWJVSSN, A SOUVENIR. “ To learn that all your symptoms are especially alarming. And the-doctor fears that the ' a grippe' has claimed you for its own ” ; Then, I howl and curse a little, and I stamp upon the letter, And I boil with indignation to think that any one, Who long has studied French, should not, apparently, know letter Than to write it “ the la grippe, when but one “the” would have done. A break like this affects me in a manner almost fatal, ’Tis worse than the “ la grippe ----- (The above unfinished poem was recently found among the effects of a young man who had committed suicide, for some unknown reason. This publication may throw some light upon his motive. Perhaps he could not find a word to rhyme with “ fatal,” or perhaps he was shamed to desperation upon discovering that he had committed the common error of calling it “ the la grippe. ) LIGHT AND AIRY. ORIGINAL SACRILEGE. PROFESSOR, does zoology tell us of any such thing as a crosseyed fly ? ” “ I believe not; why do you ask ? ” “ Well, I went to church yesterday for the first time this year, and I heard the choir sing something about “ quickly to thy cross-eyed fly.” “That will do, sir; I will meet you in this room immediately after recitation.” UP TO SNUFF. Young Prof. (just from the east). —“ I suppose you have cane rushes out here ? ” Freshman Girl (just from the country).—“La, yes, the swamps are full of them down our way.” IN TIIE LAB. Prof.—“ Ah, Mr. Flunk, what is the result of your experiment ? ” Ft jink (recovering himself from quiet nap).—“The—er—ah—substance emits a dark, colorless odor, I believe; well, at any rate, the fumes are odorless—that is—ah—I think I’d better try it over again.” . LOVELY NERVE. Proj.— “ Mr. S--, I fail to hear half that you read from your paper.” Mr. S.—“ Come up closer.” ( Goes on reading.) ( Professor faints ). A GUARDED STATEMENT. “ Did you study analytics last year? ” “ Analytics came in our course last year, if I remember correctly.” A SOUVENIR. WASTE OF TIME. La Fayette Girl (watching the testing machine').—“ Pshaw, they have been trying for five minutes to break that board, and haven’t done it yet. They could have sawed it in two in half that time. Come on, girls, we’ll go back here and watch these funny jiggery machines that go around and around.” PREP CULTURE. First Prep.—“Have you ever saw this show that’s going to beat the Opery House to-night ? ” Second Prep.—“No, never did.” F. P.— Neyether have I.” OUR YOUNG PROFS. (Scene—Ante-room of President’s office. Time—First day of fall term. Persona—New prep and young prof., Ph. D., A. M., A. C., etc., Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Leipsic, etc.; both waiting to interview Prexy.) N. P.—“ I s’pose you’ve been through some high school ? ” Y. P. (loftily).—“ Yes, sir.” N. P.—“Then like as not you’ll get in Freshman all right.” A BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM. Soph, {showing visitors about).—“Here is the class rock of the class of ’87. You see, they put the rock here and cut the name on it and leave it as a momentum. Now, if you follow me, we’ll take in the chemistry laboratory.” REMEMBER YOUR OATH. {. It the alumni entertainment.) ’93.—“ Who is that jay spouting away now ? ” ’91.—“ He’s one of our charter members.” '93.—“ Purty good talker, eh ? ” A FINE DISTINCTION. “ Why, Mr. C-----, I am surprised to find you smoking on the campus. You surely are aware that this is a direct violation of one of our rules? ” “ I beg your pardon, professor, but I am not smoking ; I am simply carrying this cigar up to the dormitory, where I shall finish it. It was A SOI 'VEXIR. too long to throw away. I stopped smoking it when I came through the gate.” “ But I saw' you puffing at it, just before I met you.” ‘‘Merely to keep it burning, professor; I have no matches in my room.” HE WANTED TIIE ANSWER. “ I have come for the answer,” he murmured, To the maiden coy and fair ; And he spoke in a sad and pleading tone, And waited her verdict there. “ I have come for the answer,” he said again, And the maiden dropped a tear, As she faltered, “ I couldn’t solve the ioth And we’ll both of us flunk, I fear.” NEVER TOUCHED HIM. Prof. S. (sternly).—“ We have now' been on this subject three months, and I am compelled to say, Mr. T------, that you do not know' enough about it to ask an intelligent question in regard to it. If you have about you the rudiments of an intellect, I can only declare that you have thus far artfully concealed the same from me.” Mr. T. {after recitation).—“It seems to me Prof is getting a little personal in his remarks.” AN ELECTRICAL EXPERT. She (at one of the annuals).—“ Why do those electric lights go up and down that way, I wonder? ” He {knowingly).—“ O, some kid in the gallery is pinching the w'ire.” CALLED FOR ACTION. “ I understand that Dash told Miss Blank that I was somewhat of a spiritual iconoclast. What would you do if any one would say that about you ? ’ ’ “I’d hunt up a dictionary.” A SOUVEMR. HOW THK “EXPONENT” IS MADE. First Local Editor.—“ Well, what can we put in this month ? Have you worked the Purdue notes in the city papers? ” Second Local Editor.—“Yes, and I haven’t half enough stuff. I believe, for a change, I will write an article advocating a gymnasium at Purdue.” F. L. E.—“That’s good; I have a long clipping from an Indianapolis paper, and we can use that.” S. L. E.—“ I will mention that the roads are muddy, and that the street car service is unsatisfactory. Have you taken any notes this month ? ” E. L. E.—“ No, I have been too busy. Oh, we’ll fill out the space some way. I can crib some alumni items out of old issues.” SHADES OE WII.HELM MEISTER! Miss .

So you are now a full-fiedged Senior? I have learned with gratification of your successful year, and, to show my appreciation, I have built an L to the house so that you will have room to store the large number of books you have purchased this year.” THE POETESS LAUREATE. Halt Girt (iwriting poeni).—“ Can you think of a word to rhyme with ‘pain’?” Second Hall Girl.—“‘Blame’; how would that do?” H. G.—“ Lovely; thanks awfully. Now I want something to rhyme with ‘willow.’” S. . G.—“ That’s easy ; ‘ widow.’ ” . G.—“How stupid I am to-night! ” A SOUVENIR. BEYOND REDEMPTION. {Comer of Seventh and Columbia streets.) First Bachelor Prof.—“ Is marriage a failure ? ” Chorus of B. P's.—“ Well, it hasn't been with us, has it, boys? {All dig each ottier's ribs.) HE KNEW CARLYLE. Rural Visitor (inspecting society hall).— Whose picture is that? Prof.—'1 That is Carlyle. R. V.— You don’t say ? He’s older than I took him to be.
