CAMPBELL. EDITORS TRON CLASS Or 1902. HOUGHTON H. SHUMACHER HENRY EDWARD TEASDALE MX. CHARLES F. HARPER. A TOAST. With Apologies. Here's to our teachers one and all! And here’s to our worthy master! May he never be lacking in courtesies small From the classes that follow after! And here's to one who leaves us soon; Our beloved and good sub-master; Who is going south to the William Penn school Where he takes up the duties of master— Then fill up a glass and drink to him, And fill it with H a O. And drink with a cheer and a mighty shout To his health as he doth go! And, Mr. Smith, when you've gone from us, If the world on you should frown, Then think of the classes that honor you In good old Quincy town. Though deeds were committed without much thought, And many that we regret— The classes from 1902 to '06 Are thinking of you yet. And pardon these lines from the pen of one Whose bad deeds were not few. A thousand pardons ! ask from you For one who was “naughty, two.” Master—not of the troublesome throng Which after vain pleasure reaches, Ah, no! far better than that! For he Is master of that which he teaches. MR. MAURICE B. SMITH.

TIIE GOLDEN - ROD. GOOD ADVICE. A word from our graduates, Low and high, Wlio've gone to college From Quincy High. They've gained distinction In halls of fame, And by lowly endeavor Have gained their name. Take warning, 0 Seniors! For “fresh” you will stand 'Till a sophomore certificate's Placed in your hand. This you must remember, And you will, of course: But—if courage should fail you, Why, then—just eat “Force.” J SIMMONS COLLEGE. In the fall of 1902 there was opened in Boston an institu- tion known as Simmons College, the purpose of which is to train young women for practical life. The institution is the outcome of a bequest left about 30 years ago by John Simmons of Boston, who desired the establishment of a college in which instruction in such branches of art, science and industry should be given as would best enable women to earn an independent livelihood. The plan of instruction of Simmons College provides for three groups of courses, namely, regular courses of four years, partial courses of one or more years, and advanced courses for graduates of colleges and normal schools. During the year of 1902 and ’OS, courses in the following departments were offered to the students:—Household Econom- ics, Secretarial Work, Library Training and Science. Each of these courses deals with practical and technical work in its special branch, in combination with the general college studies. They are intended to prepare the student for the pursuit of some profession. Simmons College is the first institution of its kind, estab- lished on a utilitarian plan. That it is meeting a genuine need is shown by the fact that, although opened as recently as last October, the student body numbers about one hundred and fifty. A great many of these pupils come from the suburbs of Boston, while others have journeyed there from California, Georgia, Ohio, New York, Maine and Connecticut. The girls come with a com. mon interest, that of self-maintainanee, and the spirit of helpful- ness is predominant throughout every course. In the year 1903 and ’04, the college work will be conducted in the building known as Boylston Chambers, No. 397 Boylston street. The dormitory known as Simmons Hall is located at No. 38 St Botolph street. In May, 1904, the college hopes to occupy its own buildings, which are now being constructed in the Back Bay Fens. All information in regard to the college work may be ob- tained by addressing the secretary of Simmons College, 30 Huntington avenue, Boston. Lucv Dalbiac Luard, ’01. BROJVN NOTES FROM BROWN, '02. Most of the members and graduates of Q. H. S. are perhaps a little unfamiliar with the alma mater of its principal, Mr. C. F. Harper. Brown University, from which Mr. Harper graduated in ‘92, is one of the best so called minor colleges of New Eng- land. Its situation combines the advantages of a city and of a country college. The university buildings, which number fif- teen, are on the top of a hill which overlooks Providence, R. I., and the surrounding country. The college was founded before the American Revolution, and is, therefore, rich in history and tradition. At present the campus, which is one of the prettiest in the country, is being torn up by the construction of fine new build- ings. Although the equipment of the university is being in- creased, yet it will be only comfortable for its nine hundred odd students. This number is small enough to make it possible for almost all the men to become acquainted with one another. And in this fact lies the greatest charm of student life at Brown. The meeting of so many men and the closer touch with the faculty than is possible in the larger universities, the beautiful buildings and campus, and the pure bona fide campus life, are a few of the things that make Brown an ideal college.

When the femiuine editors of the Golden-Rod staff deigned to interview me on my impressions of Harvard, I was greatly de- jected. “ For,” said I, “ my mind is a waxen tablet, which tends to remain perfectly smooth.” Finally, however, I showed myself as pliable as wax in their hands. But to begin my threnody. My acquaintances have one stereotyped question, “ How do you like Harvard ? ” Well, I am on good terms with the dean, have not made any formal calls on the office, and am still an humble ornament of the Bench, the class-room one I mean. So I continue to haunt the Classical Library in Harvard 5. There are numerous interests here which the Alma Mater indulges. The etliical wisdom of the ages is crowded into fifteen minutes of chapel for the students’ benefit; but to their delight is expounded at length on Thursdays to the whole profanum vol- gus. The would-be Sampson hies himself to the Gymnasium, perhaps to escape Delila of the annex. Those believing that Nature abhors a vacuum, especially in the gastronomic regions, betake themselves to Memorial—to be sadly disappointed. Some tendencies, however, Harvard does not favor. She is so sympa- thetic that she causes Absence to hear her protestations. As she believed that the present age was a godless generation, seek- ing for signs and miracles, she renewed an old Puritan blrfe law against these temptations of the evil one, and deprived her chil- dren of their dear idols. Yet, that which makes one realize Harvard’s place in the world, is to go into the transept of Memorial, read the names of her heroic dead who fell in the Civil War, and ponder over the solemn Latin inscriptions. Perhaps, as many think, Harvard
