JOI-IN P. BRANCI-I, ESQUIRE JOHN P. BRANCH, Esquire. R. JOHN P. BRANCH, of Richmond, Va., was born in Petersburg, Va., October 9, 1830. l His father, the late Thomas Branch, was a successful business man in Petersburg in the earlier part of his life, and afterwards in Rich- mond, also a prominent and devoted member of the Methodist Church in these cities. Dur- ing a financial crisis, in 1848, he was forced to close his house of business and form a new co- partnership, taking into it his sons, James R. and John P., the subject of this sketch. The former was an honor graduate of Randolph- Macon College, a Colonel of artillery in the Confederate Army, and a very successful busi- ness man after the war. As the father sent all his other sons to col- lege, so l1e would probably have sent John but for the fact that he needed his service at home just at the time he was of age to go to college, and so useful was he that he could not dispense with him. He early displayed what has char- acterized his subsequent life, and what has made him so successful in business. This loss in college life was made up by foreign travel and other advantages of a high order. At the early age of fourteen Mr. Branch united with the Methodist Church in Peters- burg, under Rev. Martin Dunn, at Plum Street Chapel. He is one of the few men living who regularly attended the sessions of the first Gen- eral Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, held in Petersburg in 1846. He with others formed the Market Street Methodist Church in Petersburg, organized by Dr. John E. Edwards. Dr. Edwards had him as a travelling companion in a trip to Europe in 1856. Mr. Branch was commissary and quarter- inaster in Colonel Archerls Forty-fourth Vir- ginia Battalion, which was included in General J. B. Gordonls Division in theclosing mouths of the war in 1865. In 1883 Mr. Thomas Branch, who for nearly forty years had served on the Board of Trustees of Randolph-Macon College-a part of the time as president of that body-on account of age and infirmity, resigned his membership, and was succeeded immediately by Mr. John P. Branch, thus keeping the connection of the family with the College for nearly sixty years to this date. Before this election he was a. lib- eral donor to the College, and since, he has from time to time contributed to its endowments and funds. This year he has donated ten thou- sand dollars to establish The Ilfary Louisa Me1'- ritt Branch Students' Loan Hind, the purpose of which is to aid young men who need help in securing the benefits of Christian education. This was in memory of his wife, a highly gifted woman, who died some years ago. Since doing this he has made a proposition which, if taken hold of and pushed as it ought to be, will do more to endow the College than any move of the kind ever made. This is to add a dollar to every two given by Qi,ll61'S. Already the propo- sition has been responded to, and brought out over five thousand dollars, and it is believed that during the coming year there will be a number of liberal responses to the proposition, all of which will tend to the endowment of the College and the lowering of the cost of a liberal education. Mr. Branch succeeded his father, who was thc first president of the Merchants National Bank of Richmond, one of the largest banks in the State. His administration has been emi- nently successful in extending the business of the bank and 'enhancing the value of the stock. GREETING llltl ol R.-M.

The professors shook their heads and spoke to us shyly. The Hcalicow called in their old stand-bys and discussed the new men. Groups of old students were gathered here and there to see whether we would do anythiing really outrageous. The cut of our clothes and 'the size of our feet were freely taken as evidence. No doubt we were as green as the Campus upon which we walked. But we were men, nevertheless, and were determined to have an educa- tion. Butler' s requisites were unknown to us then, and so our first attempt to be students must not be udged too harshly. 1 V 'We had heard the Seniors talk of calithumps, and, though we hardly under- stood what was meant, we decided to make the best of our knowledge. Late one cool fall night we gathered within the shadows of the trees rather frightened at our own boldness. Each fellow had some kind of a noisy instrument, such as an oil can full of stones, a wheelbarrow full of tin, or a. head full of double images. lYe were just about to start out, feeling that we were the real thing, because we were going on a calithump, when simultaneously every face turned. pale and every tin pan ceased its racket. For what did we see and hear? Urowds of Seniors were bearing down upon us, and we heard cries which shook the sturdy oaks of four score winters and made the very earth beneath our feet tremble---cries of Lf To bed with the Hsh V' Like Saint Patrick, we pulled our royal robes of conceit about us and lit out. Some escaped by taking refuge under alien covers, but the vast majority were caught and calmly marched of to their respective rooms and neatly Q tucked in bed by the shameless Seniors. Then they disappeared, leaving the Class of 1902 to all appearances vanquished, for the college world had not then learned to look for that firm purpose and ex- alted courage which has since characterized us. The organization of the class followed. The sequence of our disappointed ealithump and the organization had in it no element of cause and effect. The Senior men had treated us badly, but we felt that war was unnecessary. Had our organization been a preparation for war we would have organized as a unit, and elected oflicers who would not flee the enemy, whether French, German, or English, that stood in their way to any degree. However, we thought that the 30 hostility of the graduating class did not proinise to be permanent, nor was it be- lieved that the partial organization would be lasting. . The matter reniained as it was for soine tiine, but Hnally we became a fully-organized class, free from einbarrassrnents. P X lVhen, at the beginning of the second year, we stepped from the train at Ashland, we expected to be received by a eonnnittee from the Faculty and by the Trustees eu masse. WVe felt that we owned the best part of Ashland, and were entitled to considerable consideration. To be brief, our reception was a dis- appointment, This second year at college was uneventful so far as our class was concerned. The reason of this was that We had aniong us so niany nien re- markable for their laziness. lVe passed the year in peaceful day-dreains, dreaming of what the next year would bring. The third and last year has now also beconie history. Throughout its long and weary length, sobriety niarked our conduct. The sharp cataracts and falls of fortune, which inalze history so interesting, did not disturb the even tenor of this our last year: The current of our existence had grown broader and deeper. And now, as its Waters are about to iningle with the breadth and depth of the ocean of real life, these dear old trees, constant companions upon either bank, whisper a long farewell and an affectionate Godspeed.

CHAPTER strange and weird is connected with the life of the Prophet of 1902. lf he tries to reineinber when or how he caine to the top of a strange and unknown inountain, confusion seizes his brain. lf he attempts to recall froni whence he came, directions blend together, and on the whole there' s Nconfusion worse confounded. One thing, however, is certain. He reinenibers inost distinctly that he was sleeping on the top of this strange and unknown inountain when he dreamed th at the diin outline of a black appar- ition was befo1'e hini. Nor was his dreain a wild delusion, for while under its strange influence a violent shaking seeined to seize his very soul, and there could be heard, scarcely audible at first, a diin sound as if coining from the far dis- tance. This sound gradually grew louder and louder as seeined to approach nearer and nearer, and when at last it reached the height of its violent, thunder- like roar, a sharp, keen report burst forth as if to cleave the very heavens, and soinething said, with a stern, plaintive cry, Arise! arise! ye slothful one. 1 conie forth to proclairn to thee the future deeds of that wicked and pernicious Class of 1902 of Randolph-Macon Collegefl Leaping to niy feet froin' the place where I was sleeping, T perceived, sitting on a high rock iinniediately in front of nie, a haggard, wan, skeleton-looking figure, who held a tablet of stone upon his knees, pointing to the saine with the bony forefinger of his right hand. Looking steadfastly at nie with blazing eyes, he continued: c'Ah, ye cursed ineinbers of 1902, ye riders of fleet-footed ponies, ye nuin- skulls, ye parasites, ye would-be teachers, lawyers and doctors, ye lazy and worthless 4Bib. Litsf Listen! I say to you, listen! for it now behooves inc to read from this tablet of stone your fruitless records of the future. Then drop- ping his head and slowly moving it from side to side as if in deep nieditation, mingled with pity, he niuttered to himself: 4Thou canlst not say I did it'-'li even wish were not so. ldlith a sudden start he then raised his head and con- tinued, 5' Listen as I read, and tell it as T tell it to thee.'7 Ah! Francis Bond, thou art destined to become a powerful giant unless thou diest froin exposure. Thy niuscles wilt continue to grow and thy brains diniinisli accordingly until after years of painful toil thou shalt encounter Jack, the giant-killer, and be slain, Thy life shall be one of hardship and of toil, end- ing in an untimely death. Of a quiet nature is Lindsay Crawley. Yet he is much deceiving. 4'Still water runs deepf' Thou art a. secret lover of Mcalicof' and art destined to re- 37 1-1-ive lllllCll trouble and 17ll11l5l'11HG1lb therefor. In a few years that blue-eyed, ho1111ic lassic will consent to be yours, having been wooed and won by a great poem thou shalt write, entitled, 4'My darling, I live for thee,'7 but troubles will then begin, for thy blushing head is destined to become bald, and thou shalt be r11led with an iron hand-that same hand thou hast played with so often and called divine. Randolph Macon Grimm, after 'thy life has been sorely cursed with Billy's'J hctch, right-face, Hleft-face, 'cthree steps forward-to the rear- 1l1ZL1'Cl1,7, and after thou shalt have followed in his wicked way and from his high throne of persecution shalt have gloated over sweet revenge, thy life at Ran- dolph-Macon shall end, and thou shalt return again to the mountains to take up the plow and hoe by day and to hunt the Hpossum and coonw by night. A man of much renown shall Harry H. Kennedy become. Many weari- soine days l1as he vexed tl1e patient souls of his beloved professors, for he is ex- ceedingly lazy and cunning, but he shall now. go into the cold, cruel world, and shall become famous for his sweet melodious voice. Like the snow-bird and the English sparrow shall he sing. People shall behold with surprise and won- der at a would-be man attached to a harsh feminine voice, and fleeing his awful presence, shall exclaim: '4 Man is fearfully and wonderfully made. Of Bruce T. Kilby it is written, that Caesar had his Brute, and so has Ran- dolph-Macon. Doubtless of blood relationship, yet a difference exists between them. The Roman Brut-e was characterized for boldness. Randolph-Macon' s Brute is equally characterized for shyness. Of handsome appearance, 'fcalicov shall often attempt to lure him with sweet smiles and kind words, yet even leap years shall not avail their purposes, for he does not look at a maiden, and is des- tined to become a lonesome and miserable old bachelor. ln after years he shall repent of the folly of his youth, and think of those fair ones he is now pleased to term pullets,', praying heaven for a wife to console his gloomy days, but, alasl alas l too late. Even old maids shall then upbraid him with nay, nay, Bru-T. llfilliam F. Kellam is commonly known by the name Kelle, which, prop- erly interpreted, means kill-e, for a notorious quack doctor is he destined to be- come. Many deceits shall he practice among the people, and the land shall suffer from his grave afliictions. In after years he shall return to his home to practice his quackery, and shallride over the land of the Accomites upon the back of a m11le, for Hind' s and Noble' s fleet-footed ponies shall no longer be able to carry his weight, as in the happy days of history at Randolph-Macon. Herbert C. Lipscomb, the fates are undecided as to what will become of thee. Thou art an Si quantity. Seine say tho11 art destined to become a 38 lawyer. If so the innocent shall be persecuted and the guilty set free. Others say thou are destined to become a poet. If so, make way, Shakespeare, Milton, and Tennyson-let him pass. But it is most probable that thou wilt become a teacher of fair women, for thy training has been thorough and thy progress rapid. Thou shalt leave Randolph-Macon for a few years, but shalt return and bow at the shrine of thy altar. HI1: warms me, it charms me ,to mention but her name, It heats me, it beats and sets me a7 on iiamefl I Teaching is too tame a. profession for J. Merritt Lear, of foot-ball fame. His patience already has been spent in the worry of 'SNolley's7' fiends. The son of a preacher, hence bad by nature, and ever anxious for change and adventure, he shall take up his abode in the wild and woolly TVest,M where he shall become a notorious cow boy. Tn after years he shall return to the East and accept a position on the staff of the Police Gazette, where he shall become famous for his heart-rending stories. W. B. McNeal, thou shalt ever live and love. Live to eat-and love to cat. ,Few have been the punk boxes received at RandolphrMacon at which were not heard the rapid and hearty smacking of thy active lips. Thy capacity is great for the hiding of turkey and the concealing of hams, whilst oysters have no escape. Thou shalt ever remember with pleasure thy fattening days at Ran- dolph-Macon. 'i Hcec otim. '1'l'lPH'l.tllI-SSC' jz,1f1,'aZ11it. i But music, also, hath charms for thy soul, and 'in after years thou shalt purchase for thyself a monkey and grind-organ, with which the HTar Heclsvof thy State shall be sorely cursed. Many bull-dogs shall be set upon thee and thy monkey and sore tribulation awaits thee at many gates. After years of much trouble thou shalt return home a prodigal son, and spend the remainder of thy days in gathering turpentine, tar, pi teh and resin. Ah! Frederick Peake, who can narrate the wonderful achievements of thy future life. A typical f'Bib. Lit. art thou, and a Bib Litf' wilt thou ever remain. Thy mission on earth is to convert, and convert thou wilt, for fat hens shall speedily be converted into naked bones, and turkeys shall hide on thy approach. To the land of the Marylanders wilt thou return to teach them thy wicked ways. Over their land as a circuit-rider shalt thou ride upon the back of a lame blind horse, feeding fat on hen and turkey taken from thy hungry people, who in despair shall ery out, NVoe is the day that brought Tflrederiek among us. Thomas Hainmond Phelps is destined to spend the next tifteen years of his life at Randolph-Macon in an attempt to make hgyinf' and calieo.H hfauy 39 extras shall he take on each of these tickets- gym, works becoming proliiie !ll'NfUI',lf and calico extras, expensive items. Unable to make either class, at the expiration of the time mentioned he shall be given complimentary degrees in both, and shall then return to the mountain passes of Bedford, where he shall spend the remainder of his life, as a discontented old bachelor, teaching one of the free schools of his native county. Alia I here? s to that Prophet of 1902. Ye, Poindexter. Thy future deeds are too worthless to be written. Thou shalt become a member of that body of extortioners sometimes called lawyers, but more often called liars. True shalt thou remain to thy profession, for thy chief delight is to lie for the sake of gain, and to extort-for the sake of cheating. TVoe unto the foolish who shall entrust thee, for thy efforts sha.ll be to live upon the substance of others. But the wrath of men shall finally overtake thee, and thy head shall be bruised with ink bottles as the head of the serpent beneath the heel of man. Thou shalt finally despair of the law, having failed ignominously, when thou shalt then teach a class in penmanship, the true art of thy genius. Thy days shall end in inoroseness, fail- ure and poverty. 4' God made him, and therefore let him pass for a man. And, now it behoovesine to speak of the wonderful deeds of Robert Pugh. Devotedly shall he ever worship at the shrine of the money god, chanting his prayer, Get money, still get money, boy, no matter by what meansf' Tn after years he shall climb the rugged sides of the Peaks of Otter, to gaze upon her far-famed beauty, but shall protest in paying the admission fee, as the day shall be cloudy. He shall likewise ride a bicycle to the far-famed Natural Bridge of Virginia, but shall content himself with remaining on its top, rather than paying a fee to look at it from below. A miserable miser shall he become, squeezing his dollars so tightly that the eagle shall ery out in pain, and Miss Col- umbia shall obj ect to such embraces. F. O. Smith, thou shalt often wish that dogs ate vegetables and not human Hesh, for thou are destined to become a hated book-agent. In despair, troubled housewives shall delight in putting after thee ferocious bull-dogs, and farmers shall aid with double-barrelled shot guns. Despairing of this work thou shalt turn thy attention to medicine, and shalt make a specialty of indigestion, master- ing thy course so thoroughly that thy name shall become a synonym for its cause, effect and cure. In after years thou shalt return to Ashland and teach thy knowledge to the College Faculty and to the physicians of the town. A spiteful old bachelor is the fate of TV. R. Smithey. Oftimes shall he apply to The Old Maid's Convention, hoping to find one who will bring sun- shine into his troubled soul, but even there he shall be found wanting. Yet he -10 shall become a noted nian. Although he desires to become a member of the wicked fraternity of man killers, yet his fame lies in another direction. :'Lean as a fork with the wind whistling throughtthe prongs, he shall continue to lengthen, until finally, having become noted for his ductility, he shall take up his abode with a traveling circus and shall richly reap his reward. George 'William Martin Taylor shall ever remain an typical c'Bib. Lit. The subject of Hloven shall be his chief and delightful theme through life, yea, of such importance shall it be that his mind shall finally become unbalanced and Ashland shall no longer hold charms for his soul, except during those periods of'1nental disturbance when he is strongly subject to Fitz. Many non-sensical addresses shall he deliver upon this theme and the day shall finally come when he will hie away to the capitol of his country and make an especial address to a 'vast female audience, and shall receive for the manly effort he shall make a beau- tiful picture of that great assemblage. And now, my Lord Sir Tinsley Thrift, where shall words be found to extol thy self-importance. A royal H Bib. Lit. art thou, also, and a most strange one, for, A Stiff in opinions, always in the W1'0l1g, Everything by turns and nothing long, Thou art destined to do no good, for thou thinkest H l ani not in the role of coin- mon men. Soon wilt thou go from the classic Walls of Baiiclolpli-ihlacon to grub up the roots of the field for those of the class-room, for no man will hearken unto thy voice. Of C. O. Tuttle it is Written : A strange man with a strange mind. llc also has thought of becoming a Worthless Bib. Lit. -a good and fat missionary for some cannibal. lVoe to such a cannibal, for he, too, would be just as dead as Tuttle shortly after such a feast. But the fates have decided that Tuttle shall not be a N Bib. Lit. ,' ' for destiny assigns hini to the reahn of the moon and stars. In after years he shall return to Randolph-Macon and fill its chair of Astron- orny, and so popular shall his instruction be that even ladies shall clamor for admittance to his classroom, who, being denied this privilege, shall be given private instruction. B. B. Tyler is destined to become a n'1a.n of niuch renown. A noted. denia- gogue shall he become, and a politician cunning and sly. More glib of tongue than a gossiping ivonian, he shall deceive his people, and develop into such an ex- tensive wire-puller, that office seekers will tremble at his frown. ,ln the year 1925 he shall finally be elected to the otlice of constable for his native county. -ll X. P. XVeseott shall reniain at Randolph-Macon one year longer for the 1,111-page of applying for a Ph. D. in calico He shall then east his lot with the lawyers of the land and hetake hiniself to the 'Philippine Islands, where he will inake a specialty of divorce suits, winning inueh fanie with his Philippine friends. Ah, 'rtlatalinen T. lVilson, thy fate is well known. Thou art destined to heeonie a jurist of great fanie, for thou shalt ascend the throne of 'fJol1n the .'Iust,'7 and wreak thy vengeance upon niggers'7 and trainps.

E. W. POINDEXTER, Class Prophet 1902. 51 93' Q sf li? 42 Recommendations. To Iflfi7L077'L it May C0-ncern .' Having been on intimate relations with the following gentlemen for several years, having seen their good works and noble deeds, and knowing them to be men of un uestionable inteorit f of unswervinof veracit 1 and of the highest Cl an 1 es C honor I am constrained to offer the following recommendations which I trust 7 U 7 will be duly considered by all interested. As I glance over this list of such a goodly number of good men, a thought comes to me that they should all be re- commended for the ministr f. Since that would slight other brofessions and L D vocations causinoi them to suffer irretrievable loss I must refrain from such in- 7 D 7 justice to the public weal. In order that justice may be done to all men, and in order that there may be no misfits, I will testify to the ability of each, and re- commend each for that Jursuit to which he is best ada Jted. In the be0'innin0' l V a o let me say these testimonials are cheerfully given and without partiality. The lirst on the list is Mr. F. M. Bond of Baltimore. Mr. Bond could fill almost an f yosition in a cold climate and that ver f acce Jtabl So I take l 7 . pleasure in recommending Mr. Bond to the United States Survey to go on the next expedition to the Arctic regions, and I will guarantee he can go to the North Pole without wearing a vest. Mr. Lindsa f Crawlev would make an excellent teacher but for one thine- 1 .1 b his inefficiency in the calico ticket. This is a sad failing, for no man can be a successful teacher without this qualification. I therefore advise Mr. Crawley to take a special course in this branch of learning, and then I should recommend him for a position as gymnasium instructor in some female college. The name of Randolph Macon Grimm is now before us. Mr. Grimm is an excellent man and well ualiiied. However I can not recommend Mr. J Grimm as a gymnast, because he has unfortunately fallen into the ways and habits of his former instructor. As Mr. Grimm has a turn for electrical engin- 'O eerinv' I recommend him to be 'placed at the head of one of the electric ulants of rn: l l Ashland, providing the trustees of Randolph-Macon will allow him to use the baths on the campus semi-annually. II. II. Kennedy is a natural philosopher of well-known fame. He knows by 71 ear! U The Iraw of Love and Love as a Law. If anyone doubts this let him consult Ashland damsels for further information. I therefore recommend him to Ilr. IV. E. Edwards as an assistant to his chair. One rarely meets a man with a better mathematical mind than Bruce T. 423 Iiilblv of Siittolk has. Mr. Iiilby is capable of making some neat calculations. For llISl'2ll1f'0, given the respective weights of a R. M. C. man and an Ashland girl sitting on the cainpus on a moonlight night fthe moon just behind the tree- tiopsj, the length of the man's arm, the temperature, the distance from all other 11111111111 bodies, and tl1e number of shooting stars seen at the time :-Mr. Kilhy c-an calculate the attraction between the two. On account of this neat work, I 11111 pleased to recennnend l1in1 for a chair of mathematics in one 'of our 1111i1'ersities. NV. F. Kellam, of Accomack, has a talent for medicine, but since he has l?lli0l1 autifat with such wonderful results, I fear his constitution cannot stand the il1'ClllOllS labors which that profession demands. Moreover, his appetite has failed l1i1n so of late that he no longer fears his landlady will ask him to pay a 1?l'O1l1IlUl1 above the regular price for meals. I therefore advise him to return to his beloved Aceoinack, where the salt breezes of the mild Atlantic 111?ly gently bathe his drooping frame. Il. C. Iiipsccinb is known to all as a distinguished Ilatinist. He seems to like the study, too, but he has a failing that no professor of Latin should have. This failing is his fondness for calico.. If anyone doubts that this is a failing for a Iiatin professor, let hin-1 consult the Chair of Latin at this place. Think- ing that Mr. Lipsconib has a peculiar fondness for E-lrifglislz, I recon1111end him to the t'l1z1ir of English of this College, with the guarantee that he can always be 'found near at hand. J. Merritt Lear, of Richmond, is no less competent a man than any of those whoni I have endoresd. He will make an ideal master of a country district scliool. I therefore reeonnnend him to the school board of Beaverdam district school of l'lAa11ever county, Virginia, provided they will not allow him to ret11rn to R. M. C. next session, as we think he has had enough of college life. W. B. McNeal eon1es from the '4 Old North State, whither I advise him to return to dwell among the pines, where he may be in reality Cnet in appear- ance onlyj H monarch of all he surveys. But since Mr. McNeal is somewhat of a musician, I can with impunity endorse him as a suitable companion for the next dago that passes this way. Rev. J. Fred Peake is an ecelesiast of high rank. Mr. Peake's sermons have a wonderful effect, because they are extremely seperific. They are sure to act in less tl1an five 1nin11tes from the time they are administered. I there- fore recoinmend him to the bishop that will preside over the next session of the Baltimore conference to be sent to Crab Bottom charge, with the understanding 44 ' that he shall not preach longer than ten minutes to the same congregation with- out allowing this congregation to have an intermission for rest. Thomas Hannnond Phelps has become so inuch attached to Ashland it seems to be useless to recommend hiin for anyposition away from here, because he would not accept it. Since he has editorial ability, and since he is deter- mined to locate here, I take pleasure in recommending hini for third assistant editor on the staff of the Hmiorel' Heralcl. E. XV. Poindexter, of Lynchburg, has all the qualifications of a lawyer. lf anyone doubts that he has ability, let him converse with the gentleman on any question of law. To the Class of 1902, to the public at large, and to generations yet unborn, l cheerfully recoinmend Mr. Poindexter as the right inan to get one out of trouble. Robert Pugh, of Wfest Virginia, is a likely man. At some things he is very apt. He can ride a wheel with as inuch grace as anybody, except a certain fish. On account of his skillful riding and his fondness for the art, I endorse him as a useful man to any bicycle concern that has a large stock of old wheels to dispose of. I recommend F. Osgood Smith as a suitable man to remain in Ashland dur- ing vacation to take care of the Ashland damsels. At the beginning of next session l advise M r. Smith to go to the Springs, for l ain sure he will need rest. W. li. Sniithy is well qualified to go to the 4' Frontier to teach the ln- dians. lflis acute sense of einphasis, his rythmical pronunciation, and his gen- eral expression, would be of infinite Value to teach the Indians elocution. l endorse him as a. suitable man to teach a school in some remote part of the ln- dian Territory. G. YV. M. Taylor is recommended to the Class of '03 to write the recominendatory. Many have supposed that C. Tinsley Thrift has an oratorical talent. His highest ambition is to sway mankind. To this end he has labored hard and made many a. sacrifice. However, it is not as an orator that we would recom- mend him. illis ingenuity merits a higher reward, and it is with pleasure that we recommend him as a capable man to teaeh mathematics Caritlimetie up to pereeutagej in some primary school. Cl. O. Tutt.le had an idea of entering the ministry, but sinee he has made sueh wonderful discoveries in astronomy, and since he has become so 'familiar with the cause and etfeet of meteors, we recommend him for a position in the Lick Observatory-provided the environment is adapted to his progress. 45 XVG advise B. P. Tyler to return to R. M. C. for the sole purpose of taking another course in XVash Hall. At the same time we advise him to use the peb- bles and any other means helpful to oratory. R. T. lllilson is another of our number who is loath to leave Ashland. Feeling that he would make any sacrifice to remain here another session, we re- commend him to one of our fashionable boarding-house keepers as a Waiter, with a guarantee that he can always be found in place. X. P. Wlescott, of Accomack, is the last of this number of illustrious men who have engaged our attention. Mr. XVeseott has ability that anynbarrister would be pleased to possess. He has other qualities also which seem to me to be most prominent. Everyone knows howlfond he is of society and its fashions. His taste for dress-suits is more than ordinary, and his willingness to Comply with the demands of fashion is astonishing. YVere it in keeping with our re- ligious views, we would recommend Mr. lVescott for a dancing master. lt would be too hard to take him from the world of society. So we advise him to take up his abode on Fifth Avenue, New York, where he may live and learn. f 40 rabuates Soliloquy College days are o'er, the time to part has come, ' Exams. are made and finished, the race has now been run 5 But a greater sea. lies 'fore me-what shall my future he?

MAN was lynehed down in Mexico, and the perpetrators of the deed de- parted, leaving his body swinging from the limb of a tree. The people who chanced along that way wondered why the poor fellow had been strung up and thus left exposed to view. XVhen they drew near, a paper was seen pinned to the corpse which had these words written upon it: U This man had some bad qualities, and others a darned sight worse. This statement, how- ever, does not apply to the illustrious Class of 1003. Mexico is several miles away from Ashland, and the Class of 1903 is several degrees removed from ,the condition of the poor unfortunate who was so careless as to have a long life of usefulness ended when his friends tried to lift him above his surrounding cir- cumstances by lengthening his neck. ' It is true that one of our members sang in the chorus of Elijah at the May Festival in Richmond, and hopes to capture the hearts of the fair maids of Ash- land by the wondrously melodious notes of his fetching tenor. But he has a worthy rival in the far-famed M Dusty, who makes the campus resound with such shrill howlings and blood-curdling shrieks as would hold any maiden en- thralled who chanced to be within a distance of some leagues, especially the dusty maidens. It is also true that we have one member who has been an out- cast from all other cl-asses for the past six years, but he has hunted around so long that it was decided, out of the goodness of our hearts, to follow that golden rule which says, H Do unto others as you wouldyhave others to do unto you, and to admit him into our organization. Yet even these drawbacks do not serve to dim the shining glory of this unusually brilliant class, nor to rank with the aforementioned man who was lynched. XVe might say right here that our roll call for this year falls short of last year's number by only three names. XVhat other class has such a record? Vile can also say that we are living up to the high standard which has characterized us from the beginning. XVe are living while we live, and enjoying all that which life holds pleasurable to youth and to good looks. XVhat better plan can man follow in this life than that laid down in our motto, Dum vifuvlvvttts, 'U'l'UCL7l1'llSU ? If the vita part of this motto lasts long enough we will be adorned with the cap a11d gown, ere many months shall have passed Before us looms this hope, an incentive to thought and action. Unto this We attain. No 50 Hflurikv can detain us, no bounds restrain us. Onward! YVe strive to achieve the cream of success and to be Worthy of the royal purple. NVe have our full share of honors. If any of you doubt the general excel- lence of this class, We have but to refer you to our five debaters. These gentle- men have so ably represented their halls at the public debates that further argu- ment from your Worthy scribe would be entirely out of place. lVe might take the liberty of referring you, however, to Thomas, so that we may not be thought dogmatic. lVhen have we had a better base-ball team than our present one? 'The nianaffer the catcher and the center field all have the proud distinction of be- D 7 7 longing to our class. lVe have two men on the annual staff. The monitors of fourth and seventh cottages also claim membership in our band, the first named being the guardian angel of that mysterious gang, The Midnight Marauders, whose deeds and daring are more blood-curdling and unusual than any that his- tory has yet recorded. They are even more- cruel than the Spanish Inquisition, or the owlish tortures inflicted by our dear college girls. In short, there is no field in college to which our men have not penetrated and plucked success from the climbing vine of endeavor. You have, perhaps, heard the tradition which says that Manitou made the earth and then rested. He then made the warrior and rested. Finally he made the squaw, and neither Manitou, the warrior, nor the Devil has ever rested since. ln order that this may not be applied to us, we' close this history by proposing the health and success of each and every member of the Class of 1903.

GAIN we are called upon to chronicle the events that are connected with the Class of 1904. 'Last year we were merely in our infancy, and were entirely ignorant of the destinies that were awaiting us. idle imagined that the road to success is paved with sparkling jewels, and that the desired goal is 'easily obtained. Some of us doubtless boasted with pride that we would cap- ture our degree within two years, and then joyously herald it forth to the world. But now, we have had some experience in real college life, and we no longer dare to make such bold and rash surmises. When we returned to school in September we found most of our old men back, whom we welcomed with bright and cheerful hearts. Some, however, had drifted off to other institutions of learning, but we hope they will ever cherish with pleasure the remembrance of their associations while here. To fill their vacancies, we can say with pride that we have the choice selection of the Fish, and from the stand that these Freshmen have taken in the student body, we can well feel proud to possess them among our number. Of course it seems rather a strange phenomenon that they could not disdain to join the class to which they are allotted by nature. But perhaps they were actuated in their movement by realizing the fact that this pool contained such a promiscuous mass that the movement of their propelling organs would be retarded. Then, too, the hideous and'2uncouth forms of many varieties surely caused a sensation of horror to per- vade their beings. However, I do not want the Fisl1U to occupy all the space that is assigned to me, as there are many things which are worthy of mention, and in which we take a very prominent part. In our class work we have made a brilliant record, one that has not been eclipsed for many years. Even Pucklef' the valley of the shadow of death,', has become easy fruit, and we are spanning its broad chasms and fathomless gorges with Hall on board 5 and like some fantastic being gliding through space, we are rapidly pursuing our course acl 1'1f1f'11vitit111.. ln our literary societies we are well represented, and the dear old halls reverberate the magnificent strains of oratory. The very walls themselves seem to tremble at the profoundness of our arguments, and sometimes we are led to believe that even a second Burke has arisen among us. On the ball team we also maintain our standard of exeellency, and the grace and ease with which HGipps and 55 Peg 11111111111 t1111se 1111013 111V1J111111H1'11f' 11'i11s 0111' a11111i1'11t1011.

NLIKE many of my worthy fellow students, l cannot felicitate upon this occasion that calls me this beautiful afternoon, when all nature seems to smile, to make my initial attempt to write a class history. lt is not from any lack of interest in the work, believe me, but from a shrinking fear that l may not do justice to the Class of '05, . Gur existence as members of the 'ciinriyl' tribe is, happily, short. lVhen Father Time has removed from us this much scorned and long suffered name of 4' l1'ish,'7 and we have been promoted to the name next in order, may we bear it with a charming grace like that which characterizes those who so heartlessly de- ride us now. And we would beg the mighty whales to remember that once they were only minnows, and we trust that with time Qmuch of it, of coursej we may da.re hope to reach the lofty heights to which they have already attained. lllhen this goal shall have been reached in the toil and heat of the day, we 'will look back 'cmany a. time and oftl' to these calmly happy days at our Alma Mater, and we will often traverse the halls of memory, whose walls are decorated with faces of absent friends and yearn for them as for the tumble-down air-castles built in our boyhood days. A But in connection with the above I will try to relate to you a few facts con- cerning our athletes, calicoists and others who do not exactly come under these two divisions. Our class, you know, has already well distinguished itself in the athletic world. For if you will call back to memory ust a few short weeks, when foot- ball was all the rage, you will at once see that we were right in the lead with such men as Davis and Mast. And now what about base-ball? lllhy, we are perfectly at home on the dia- mond. I dare say that there has not been a 'Tishn class in college for years that could boast of better men than 'K Straight lk1'1'11,7 ' 'C 'XVl'1acker,7' Mousefl 'C lilaniinef' and others too numerous to mention. Still tl1ere are those of us who are not so well advanced in athletic lore. For instance, Biol: Fordw came in some days ago and was inquiring if a home run counted more in a game than one gotten by stealing one base at a time. And HC. Gm , too, has been very persistent in wearing the mask up side down, until an emphatic protest came not so very long ago. A ball came whizzing past, and now you can see the indentation just under his chin. 61 'l'lu-re is one other little incident that l, would like to eall your attention to lwfore we come to the ealieoists,', aml that is as follows: Like unto one of his great ancestors, by name, who discovered the little stream in New York now known as the Hudson River, so has our friend made an equally great discovery. .Xfter reading an article in the Hmifs Horn about lVashington7s ruse of building his camp fires just before his retreat across the Deleware, he announced the mo- mentous discovery that he Qlllashingtonj did tell a lie, and that he also cut the little elierry tree which you all have so often read of in connection with the his- tory of his life. l f any one wishes fuller particulars in regard to above statement, they will please call or write to fifth cottage, first room, but in so doing be sure to have your helmet buckled on securely, or else you may get a blow with an axe that might displace seine of the Physics or Jr. Latin you have been so faithfully toil- ing over. And now for the ealicoistsf' of whom we have a goodly number, seine of whom have been out in the recent rains and dews so much that they are begin- ning to resemble the Mosses'7 and ferns that grow around our college campus. 'lfhe Bib. Lits., too, are great lovers of the Non Secret Keeping Tribe, but we note that most of them go out of town, where they are not so well known, to get on their wild rampages. Certain of them have frequented Petersburg and other nearby towns, but, alasl the t'BaXterians77 are too sharp for our 'flutew brethren to persuade them to leave their happy home on such short acquaintance, so they make another visit, and so on throughout the remaining part of the ses- sion, always with the one great end in view-to win Ca heartj or f' bust. Now that the close of our first year's work is rapidly drawing near, we be- lieve that we can, without egotism, predict for our class, as we look into their in- telligent faees, that the seed sown will produce a rieh harvest when our college days are no more, and we have launched forth on i the world's broad field of action, ready to do and dare whither right and duty lead us.

The first number of the Randolph-Macon Monthly was published in December, 1851. The staff Was composed of three Editors and two agents from each Hull. To the best of our knowledge the present system of an Editor-in-chief and a Business Manager, with all other members of the staff subservient to them, Was established in 1878. We accordingly give the editors and business managers since that time. ED1ToRs-1N-CHIEF. BUs1NEss LIANAGERS. 1878 o. W. TJLLETT W. NVATERS 1879 CLARENCE EDWARDS W. WATERS 1879 J. T. LITTLETON W.

A great cluster of Ashla,nd's beauty- ,had como down to cheer the boys in the black and yellow sweaters, This bevy oi girls with Carnival canes tipped with sweeping bows of their colors waved them vigorously, and added. their shrill applause, to the bass of the Raixdolph-Macon male contingent. Alternotely the grandstand was a. fluttering mass at red and blue sgnfi of black 'and yellow. CHEE'REiD TI-ITD HOME BOYS. While the visitors had more freduenf occasion to vent their enthusiasm. the Richmond girls amd boys had many cp- portunities to go wild, and they did not fail to avail themselves of every provo- cation. Whenever the red and blue line held the agile visitors for no gain on hurled back their terrlila rushes for :L loss, Richmond enthusiasm knew nu bounds. Many of the Richmoncl girls ear- ried pretty bannarets of the college cold ors, and others were profusely decorated with 1'ibbO13s. The weather was ideal from the stand-i point of the spectators, a. lovely eairlyt aiiturnn clay of balmy teinperaoure, but entirely too worm for sharp, fast toot- bsll. Nevertheless, the men went at li pluel-Lily, and only one man was forced. to retire on account of injuries, :md he was not seriously hurt. That was Enid- gins, of Richmond, who was replaced by Dickerson. The game was free trom un- necessary roughness. Each team was Wpenalizecl once by Umpire Nelson, losing ten yards-Richmond in the iirst half and Randolph-Macon in the second half, ONLY SCORE OF THE GAME- The only score of the same was made Ln the first half, after ren minutes ot play. The Ashland boys captured 9-he Alaaill, after the kick-off, and never lost it until it was placed behind the Rich- mond line for a touchdown. The Ran- dolph-Macon b0Ys. by 3- Series of FHSIIQS' steadily took the ball from theirvovvrl thirty-yard line a distance of exshfy 43'a.'rds. The gains were nearly all made by line-back plays, the E.'ilH-Yds and tackles being taken' to the rear to rb- lnforce the backs. Only one long NH 'wee made in the march to the goal, the rest of the distance being mode on short gains. The local team seemed unable to Emp the quick, concerted rushes of the Wisltors, and Qua.rterlBack Robinson laept his men at it without letting up. lining up and rushing SWIYUY. and with good interference. In the aewnd half, Richmond took the aggressive, and made some flue gains, but was finally forced is -punt. Full- Eaclc Broaddus sending tlfe oval to Ran- dolph-Macon's ten-yard ilne. There the boys in black and yellow rallied, and' vim-e rush-ing the ball toward the red' and blue goal, when time was called wlth the ball on Richmoncfs thirty-five yard line. 4 . The First Half. Richmond had the east goal when fhe game began, and Broaddus sent the pigskln to Ashland's fiftee11-yarfl line, where it was cziught and returned to the- thirtyAya.rd line before the runner' was downed. Then began the hammer. ing,of Richmoncfs line, which never failed to yield the required gain. In vain were the men exhorted to get 1ow : whenever the yellow and black formation., struck lt, the red and blue line yielded-stubbornly, but neverthe- less sufllclently to permit the required gain, After two yards had been made through left-tackle, Wllson. got the ball on 9, double pass and plunged through the llne for eight yards. Then followed seven yards on guards-bacx forma,1.ion. then four more by zl centre Dlunge, and four more on a. guards-back. rush. Then Leake was sent around Richmond's left- pnd for a. pretty run of twenty Yards. Five yards-were added by lfne bucking: four more yards in the same Way, and Hnally two more yards. Then a, line- back formation yielded seven yards. 'Two yards were added through Rich- mond's right wing, then the guards- back was tried for six yards' gain. ' THE LINE TOO EAG-ER. At this point, the Richmond une wasi lloo eager, and was penalized ten yards for ofliside play. Randolplh-'Ma.con's next pass was muffled, but the half-back got the ball and made three Yards. Five -more yards carried lt to the fifteen- gvzmrd llne, and despite Richmond's stub- J:m'n stand, the visitors' compact for- mation hit theirv line for four yards more. The ball was on Riohn-lond's ten- yard line, and two more iiercemushes carried it to within three yards of the boveted goal. The next rush took the lball over the line, and the grand stand was a. fluttering frenzy of black and yellow. Lezrke landed am easy goallfrom 0. lace kick and the score was' Ran- p . V 1 dolph-Macon, 6g Richmond, 0. And at that figurem it remained. , Themall was again put In play, arid Broaddus kicked to the Randolph-Macon 17-yard line, and the oval was returned thirteen yards. Randolph-Macon made two 5-yard gains, and then McNeil was knocked out for a. moments pause. Then 9. 10-yarcl run was made by Bond. Next Leake skirted left-end for twenty-five yards. The ball was then advanced twen- ty-,one yards in a series of compact for- :f l mation Dlunges into the 'red and blue f line. RICHMOND STOCKA ROSE. Then after two downs. Richmond held 'the vlstors, and secured the ball on their own 2,0-yard llne. After one ineffective rush. Fraser got the ball on a pass, and aided by good interference, skirted the Randolph-Mapon left-end for thirty-ilve yards before he was tackled and thrown. It was a. brlliant run, 'and Richmond stock rose. The bleachers greeted the fuin in the tide with great enthusiasmf After two ineffective attempts to advance the' ball, Richmond was penalized for off- side play, losing ten yards. With onfy two minutes to play, Richmond was uni- ble to gain, and it was Randolph-Macon-S ball on downs. Randolph Macon started off -With 3, 213-yard da.sh,,a.round .Rtchmond's left-end but after a. few more short gains timel was up, for' the-first half, with the ball in Riehmond's territory, forty-eight van-15 from goal. ' .The-'Second .Hfa1i. After a brief breathing spell, aux-mg which the band regaled the crowd with music, the gladlators Went at it again, with Richmond guarding the west goal, Randolph-Macon the east. ,Ra.ndolp'h-Macon 'kicked to the 15-yard lme, and the ball was returned to the 30-yard line before the runner was Stopped- After one rush the ball was fumbled, and Riohmond lost five yards, but still retained the ball. After a 4-yard Ima plunge, Gillman maxle two dashes into the line for two and three yards. After two lllefbclchml efforts to gain Richmond was forced to punt. The punt! was 3 POCI' one, the ball going only twelve 01' fifteen yards. Randolph-Macon tried the Richmond for no gain, for red and blue rushers were on their mettle and held like adamant. Thben a faxgpass Els tried. bug: a. Richmond mem plungba rough the lme and downed the runner for a, loss. YVith two and a. half yards lo go Randolph-Macon failed to make lt, and the ball wen: back to Richmonq 0n,d0WUF. on her own 35-yard line. Rlclx- rnond trled the black and yellow line' but xt held. The ball was fumbled on a pass, but was recovered only to be lost on Clowns a. m0ment later, Lear breaking :rough and tackling the runner for a. ss. IN- TI-E CLOSING MOMENTS.

It will not be a long story, for my life has been short, yet I have had much happiness, and as the long- est lives are ofttimes the saddest, I am glad that my life will be short and I am content to die. As my story deals largely-though not entirely-with myself I'm going to begin with my childhood. I was brought up in a very warm, in fact in a nearly tropical climate, and they say that I was a very fair child. All my brothers and sisters were fair, and very, very pretty. lVe had many neighbors, mostly large families, some fair like ours, others dark and rosy. lVe may not have been so large and strik- ing as our brunette neighbors, but we were more delicate and refined than they. Few homes could have been more happy than ours, and we spent our time very pleasantly. The air was warm and sweet, the sunshine bright and pleasant, in- deed, few homes are half so nice as was ours. Thus in the midst of sweetness and sunshine my childhood passed. lVe had no cares 3 we ,took no thought of the morrow, and never did I realize the responsibilities of life, or its deep meaning, till one morning-I was still a wee bit of a thing-I saw seine of our neighbors carried away. I learned that they were sent to make glad the room of a sick lady--to die in giving her pleasure, and it dawned upon me that with life we are each given duties to perform, a mission to accomplish. I had learned my first lesson in the school. of observation. I was soon to learn others in the harder school of experience. I knew that life is service, and that after childhood come work and pain and trouble and death. Still the days passed one by one, and I grew until now I was nearly full grown. They say that my beauty was nearly perfect then. I was a blond, tall, slender, lithe, graceful-a perfect rosebud. One morning a gentleman came in and said he wanted Mareehal Niels. Xow, that being the name of my family-brothers, sisters and cousins-I was naturally very much interested. He said send the roses to-morrow afternoon, 136 and then went out, and, though I did not know it then, I was to see him again and know him better g but of this you shall hear later. I spent the intervening time wondering which of us were to go, and whether I would be left or taken. I was very sad, for it meant parting from home and loved ones should I be taken, and even if I were left it could only mean parting, for some of my loved ones would, no doubt, be taken away from ine. No won- der I was sad, perhaps I cried. lVere all the tears upon my petals dew After hours of waiting, rendered longer by suspense, tomorrow became today, morning wore itself out and evening came, The time for parting was at hand, nor did I have long to wait, for my fate was soon decided. lVith several of my brothers sisters, and cousins I was put in a long box, and we were sprinkled with nice, cool water and paper was spread over us. Then the box was elosed. Then darkness-1nurky darkness. Then motion, and iny journey was begun. I had left my home and was face to face with the stern realities of life. I wondered where I was to be taken, what my mission would be. I dreaded being taken to a sick-room, perhaps it was wrong and selfish, but I did not want to be kept any longer in the dark. Then, tired out with thinking, I dropped to sleep. I I don' t know how long I had been asleep when I was awakened suddenly by the bright evening sunshine, and the softest, sweetest voice I had ever heard murmured, 'L Oh, how beautiful they areln Soon I became accustomed again to the light and I saw tl1e fairest vision I had ever seen-nor have I yet seen a fairer-tliough I, in my short life, have seen much beauty. She was bending over us as if drinking in our fragrance, and in her hands she held the top that had covered us. Her hair was golden--more golden than my petals-and l1er eyes were bright like the stars I had seen shining all through the still nights, but they did not have the cold, glittering light of the stars-theirs was soft and dark and deep. She was lovely, so lovely that I, a simple rose, have not at my eom- mand the language in which to describe her. I soon found out from her conversation that I was going to be worn to a De- bate. Ilfhat that was I did not know, nor did I find out till night, for she soon earried us to a eool place, and we were covered up. Again it was dark, but l did not mind the darkness now, because I went to sleep and dreamed of her. Again I was awakened, and it was night. The room XY2lSll1'lQlll' with lamp- light, and she was leaning over us. ller golden hair was done up high on her qneenly head, and she wore a beautiful dress of some delicate shade. llonbtloss 137 I you think I should remember the color, for flowers know much of color, but it made no impression on me-what mattered color? I was looking at her, One by one she picked us out, and tied all into a bunch except me. How I Huttered with fear and anxiety lest she should leave nie, but I little knew what a sweet fate was intended for me. She placed me in her golden hair, and happy we went together-she and I. In her hand she carried my brothers, sisters and cousins. We went down stairs, and then a gentleman-the one who had ordered us to be sent to her-came and spoke to her, and we went out, he, my lady and I. l did not hate him now as I did the day he ordered us to be taken from home. I liked him, for had it not been for him I would never have seen her. IV e soon arrived at a great, brilliantly lighted hall where music and speak- ing were going en. Then refreshments were served. This was the Debate. There were many beautiful ladies there, but none so fair or sweet or queenly as my lady. I tried to look my best for her, yet I know that I borrowed beauty from her loveliness, fragrance from her sweetness. Many ladies had roses, yet I envied no rose nestled in the hair of a lady like her. Men loved to be in her presenee, and I think they showed good taste, yet none loved her so much as the man who sent me to her. At least this is what I, a little rose, think. The men would say that she had a rush, but I must not say so, for she does not like slang, so I' ll say she had a great deal of attention. At last it was time to go, and we went to her home through the silent streets, white and glittering in the moon- light. As she bade him good-night she offered him a rose that had fallen from her bouquet, but he asked for the rose in her hair. He asked for me. He thought that I was hard to draw from her hair, because my thorns had become entangled in it, but I knew better. I was holding on, for I did not wish to leave her. At length I lay in his palm, and, though she knew it not, he kissed my petals-I think I know why, but 'that's a secret. Then he told her good-night, and she passed out of my life. IVe went back and peeped in at the I-Iall, but we did not go in, he and I, for she was not there. Other ladies were there, but for us the Debate was at an end, so we watched for a while the pleasures of others, and then went home. For a day or two he wore me on his coat, and now I rest in a glass of water on his bureau. For me life is nearly over, I am old and crushed and faded, yet I am not unhappy, for I have been blessed as few roses are blessed, and I have accomplished my mission, and it has been a very sweet one to die for her. If I 138 have made her happy for just one moment my life has not been in vain, and I know he loves ,nie because I have nestled in her hair. lVell, I, ll soon be dead, and I hope he' ll give me a decent burial. I heard him say he would press me. I don't know what that means, but I hope it is that he, s going to einbalm me and keep me. It must be some good fate that he has in store for me, for I know how inueh he values me. hhiy be that's what he means. And I know that, though dead, I7 ll always live, with that night, in his memory, and I hope in hers. arpe Ebiem.

The inansion was old and stately, and reared its dark gray foriu in the midst of a garden that spoke of bygone days. Here were the interlaeing, narrow walk-ways, and plots of flowers and greensward in fantastic shapes that are peculiar to old French gardens. Box-wood hedges and carefully trininied Cedars were everywhere, while rank vines clanibered up the sides of the deep veraudas which surrounded the house. All along Esplanade Street there were houses and gardens of this descrip- tion, and in theni lived the ancient French faniilies, whose names are associated with the settleinent of the banks of the Lower Mississippi. Although New Or- leans had beconie a thriving, cosinopolitan city, Esplanade Street retained its old style, and soon Caine to be viewed by tourists as the old part of the city. ln this street the aristocratic French families lived in a colony, and kept up their national for-ins and custonis. The street was one of the handsoniest in the city, and it was quiet and unniolested by the onward niareli of trade and fashion. Xe. 27 Esplanade appeared buried in glooni. The very exterior of the building bespoke misfortune and catastrophe. The Venetian blinds that swung froni every long window were closely drawn, and before the door a doctor's coupff was in constant attendance. Even the coaclnnan sat in grirn silence, with his head bowed on his breast. Thus the Foulard niansion stood for niany days. Inside, the scene was more nielancholy. The great halls and high-pitched roonis were dini and silent. The servants walked on tip-toe and every one spoke in subdued tones. Upstairs in a large, shadowy chaniber, lay a sick man. His head lay back on the snowy linen, which was no whiter than his face, around which the heavy niass of dark hair clustered. . There were no signs of life on the passive, expressionless fea- tures, and the half-lowered eye-lids concealed lusterless hazel eyes. lily the bedside ahnost constantly stood or knelt the lithe forni of the young mistress of the house. Beautiful in her grief and frenzied despair, with dis- heveled black hair fringing her patrieiau face, she never left the sick-rooin of her lover unless the trained nurse gently drew her to her own rooni, and persuaded her to take rest and sleep. 142 The sick inan, Henry Traversier, was the WCLIZU7 of the lovely girl who wateheal by his siale.

I An hour later lQenore lay in l1er rooin, supposeally asleep, but the aliin light. glancing through the half-alrawn curtains, aliseovereal a pair of burning, feverish eyes, enrtaineal behinal their sweeping lashes. She was -thinking of gooal St. lloeh, anal his little shrine far away in a alistant aluarter of the eity, where inany wa-nt to o'Hie1' prayers for the reeovery of the attlieteal loveal ones.

Onwaral she speal, anal the watarlnnen along tha- leva-e nota-al the alarla forni of a woinan, wrappeal in a long eloak, as it gliala-al along l-lii silhouetted against the evening sky. Beneath this cloak a heart throbbed and knocked against its iinprisoning walls, and a figure was bent forward with a tenseness ahnost inaddcning. After a while she turned to the right at a sharp angle, and soon caine to a low wall, which enclosed a ceinetery. She entered the gate and stopped at the lodge to buy wax tapers as her votary offering in the tiny shrine farther in ainid the tonibs. As she proceeded along the central walk, the grave stones loomed out at her in weird, fantastic shapes, but she quickly walked by thein and soon entered the shrine. There she fixed her candle, which, with niany others, shed a flickering light around the strange interior of the quaint little building. The high altar, with the pyx and the figure of St. Roch was conspicuous, but inost peculiar were the crutches, braces, splints and all the appliances used by cripples. These had been brought by devotees of the saint who had been cured, and placed in the corners and on the walk in every direction. The few benches were of unpolished wood, and the floor was stone, freshly sprinkled every niorning with sand. The ceiling forincd a diminutive donie, intersected by stained glass windows, which adinitted little light, owing to the clustering vines which coinpletely enveloped the peculiarly shaped building. iVhen Lenore entered there was no other suppliant. Having niade the sign of the cross with holy water, she did not seek a bench, but fell on her knees on the stone floor before the altar steps. For a long time she knelt there, counting the beads of her costly, garnet rosary, which glittered fiery in the uncertain light. Suddenly her form quivered, and a realization of her lover' s death canie over her, and she knew that her sensibilities, dulled by grief and agony of suspense, had not been able to perceive in the look of recognition of her sweetheart the last flickerings of fleeting life. A few nioinents this flood of realization flowed over her soul. Then she raised her eyes with a beseeching look to the effigy of the benevolent saint, pressed the crucifix to her lips, and lifted her other hand high above her head. It gradually descended, and as it caine lower and lower the flickering candle- light reflected the glitter of steel and silver. New her hand caine to a level with her breast and stopped. No longer a gleain of cold steel! The body tottered forward and fell at fell length on the altar steps. 144 Slumber Song. bleep Softly, sweetly sleep.

The boom of the breakers was a constantly reverberating noise in his ears, the background against which all other sounds stood out, the majesty of the deep was his first great picture of the grandeur of nature. It must have been from his mother that he inherited his poetic temperament, for his father wa.s a sturdy, practical man of the world. I know that he possessed it, for often during those years when I knew him he told me how the ocean had been to him the simile of life, deep, mysterious, eternal, its billows moving on and on in endless array, but presenting to the watchful eye an ever-varying picture. In the roar of the surf he had heard the voice of dis- tress, the appealing cry for help, the strident note of ambition, the paean of success. As he had grown up, he had felt more and more the mystery, the unfathom- able mystery of the sea 3 whence came it, why was it, and would its waters dash themselves through countless ages against the rocky coast? And life, too, its counterpart, what was the meaning of life? IVhence came it, why was it, and what meant its ceaseless succession of incident and accident through the years? He could not solve his own problems, and no wonder 5 greater minds than his had been staggered by them. But his ambition at least was quickened, he believed that life did have its meaning and he intended to know that meaning if he might. It was thus that his mind was turned to the thought of a college course, and he determined to have it. The roar of the sea became not alone his call, but as well his model of persistence. Vfe entered college the same year, and I found him not behind those who had enjoyed far greater advantages. I was strangely attracted to him from the very first, and sought his friendship. He never repelled my advances, though he made none himself, and it was not long before we were intimate friends. Often in serious moments we made mutual conidences and talked over our pasts and futures. It was thus that I learned of the influence of the sea upon his life, of the mystery which his soul longed to explore. The choice of a life work was a burden to us both, for we felt the necessity of a definite purpose in life, and we wished to make no mistake in choosing our 148 course. I felt pretty certain that medicine was my calling, while he seemed in- clined to the law, though he was far from decided. College brought more than new books to him-it brought new fields for his own thoughts to wander in. I remember coming upon him unawares as he sat one evening by the side of a little brook a mile or two from town. Ile seemed to be thinking deeply, and I imagined I could read his thoughts. He was con- trasting the brook with the ocean. Instead of a boundless sheet of water, here was a stream he might leap across. The loud roar of the surf was replaced by the gentle murmur of water gliding over rocks, the mad battle of the waves was here but a ripple on the surface. And yet here, too, was a mystery, if I might judge from his knit brow. There was here no majesty of greatness, but the very simplicity of the stream was majestic. There were no breakers with power to dash great rocks to pieces, but here was a stream along whose banks delicate flowercts might grow unharmed. And this, too, might have its counterpart in life. From that day I noticed his nature soften, and I knew that now he felt that life was not a ceaseless striving merely, that it had its placid waters as well as its storms, its flowers as well as its crags. From that time on he seemed to be a happier man, but his efforts to succeed were increased rather than diminished. There is another incident which stands out clearly as I gaze back through the years. It was a bright spring day, too good to be in doors, so we laid aside our books and wandered miles into the country. VVe stumbled across an old mill such as even now you may occasionally see, with its big water-wheel and its nar- row sluice conducting the water to it. I had often seen such before, but appar- ently he never had, for he was intensely interested, and wished to make careful investigation. As we walked homeward he told me that the old mill had given him new thoughts. The stream of water which, confined, was made to run a mill would have been useless if unchecked. In this he saw that his ocean was a mighty store-house of energy, which, because it was not directed to good, often did mighty damage. His earnest soul seemed more determined than ever then to settle the prob- lem of a life work, and no suggestion I could make seemed to meet with favor. At last he appeared to be at peace, and I ventured to enquire if his decision had been reached. And then he told me what almost upset me, that he was going to join a life-saving crew on his native coast. I expostulated with him, and told him what a shame it would be to throw away a life of comfort and honor for the hardships of the beach, that he had a mind too valuable to the world to be subor- dinated to mere bodily service. But he was firm, his mind was made up. To 1-19 l1i111 it seemed that saeriiiee a11d service was 'tl1G t1'11C11lG2111l11g of life, a11d he would eo11cei1'e of no better service than that i11 which l1e l1ad see11 brave 111011 go down. So I 11101l1'11OCl flll'OUg'l1 the re111ainder of the session, for I k11ew that at its 1-lose he would pass out of O111' circle forever. I was almost glad for l1is sake that his own attachnients to the world 1ve1'e 110 St1'Ol1gG1' than they were, when I was surprised o11e day by hearing froni his lips fl1Gl1' first expression of real senti- ll1G1llf. We llilfl eo111e 11po11 a spot where too little streains 081110 together Hllll, uniting, flowed o11 witl1 110 trace of aught but perfect singleness. 4'Al1, sigl1ed he, what a picture of tl1e greatest blessing of life, the uniting of two lives i11to o11e, a11d a placid iiowing o11ward with 110 sign of conflict, no evidence of any tl1i11g other tllitll that of perfect concord ZIHC-I l12l1'1110I1y.i7 And then as we basked i11 tl1e sun by tl1e edge of the bank, he told ine of a longing he had felt for such a pleasure as tl1is, for tl1e perfect 1111io11 of l1is soul witl1 a11- other. But l1is hope, he said, was shattered, he would 11ot ask tl1G wonian he loved to share the life he 111ea11t to lead, for she was accustoined to peace a11d plenty Hllll IEIIG surf111a11 k11ows little of either. Nor w011ld he ever tell l1er of his love, for JEIIGII, though she passed o11t of l1is life, he inight still love 011 i11 secret. What a11 irony of fate, I thought, to 1113116 a 111a11 love and then call upon hiin to niake a saeriiice that involved both life and love.

And soon there seemed to steal upon 1116 there Some faint perfume, like that of withered flowers, Of violets that blooined in shady bowers, Time-blessed and memory-hallowed-ever fair- When in she stepped, the slowly passing year, Old, worn, and gray, in sober garments clad, lVrinkled her face and sorrowful and sad, Grave elothesiabout her-in her eyes a tear, And with low voice, bowed head, and tear-filled eye, I bade the dying year a sad good-bye. She answered in a voice, mild, sweet and sad, That it was time for her to pass away, And bade me greet the New Year with the day, And do her homage that would make her glad 5 When I am dead let old things pass and die, And usher in new things-ring out the old, Let go the dross and strive to hold the gold, And bless the New-nor for the Old Year sigh. And as she spoke the eloelc her death-dirge tolled In twelve clear strokes, and, waving me farewell, She passed behond the realms where mortals dwell, To join the ranks of dead years manifold- While with low voice, bowed head, and tear-filled eye I bade the dying year a sad good-by. 152 f, Elie jfellow that 1Roots.

And all the world is mystic with the new. I looked, and on my threshold stood a maid, Stately and tall and wonderfully fair, And slowly in she came with queenly air- Her face in mystery veiled, no word she said, But beckoned me to come. I slowly went, And kissed her hand, and knelt as to a. queen. She bade me rise, and witn a regal mien Told me that she to rule the world was sent, And as the olden year had bade me do, I greeted the New Year with welcome true. I asked her what the future held for me, She shook her head and said she could not tell- Seeing her reign was under Time's strange spell. And that her face was veiled in mystery, She only knew-as I- from day to day, For she-as I-was mortal, and should see Death, and pass on to join Eternity, That train of years to come-years passed away. lhus move we here in mystery below, Nor shall we clearer see-till, souls sublime, Wie join the ranks of never ending Time. And as we all are known then shall we know. I greeted her again with awe-not fear- 'L Welcome, thrice welcome, hail to thee, New Ye I 4'-Gil 153 ar ! ' iLuIIabQ.

The ineadow-grass is wet with dew, And from its depths the fire-flies rise an Their candles, and the Shines with a queenly Shadows are creeping Soft and slow along, Sleep comes on winged feet, lVith light and noiseless tread, And brings to baby slumber sweet. radiance new.

As an English exercise I might I have done good service, or I might not have been wholly a failure as a ' Math extra, but as a petition, I am only a sheet of paper wasted. My earl Y home was with manv of m ' kind in a Star nad from which I saw mv com- uf 7 ,J rades called away one by one to go on missions of honor. At last my own time came, and a' few sentences were hastily penned upon my immaculate front. Then in unseemly haste my patron rushed off with a whoop, 'C Sign up, fellows, here's for holiday. For the next two or three hours I was subjected to all sorts of indignities. Big men and little men, good-looking men and ugly men handled me most roughly, and all made marks on me, some with pens and some with pen- cil stubs, till I was ashamed to show myself in polite society. Some fellows read me over carefully before they made their marks, while others said, Oh, if it' s for holiday, it' s all right, and signed without more ado. I was carried this way and that till my head swam with diziness, and the only quiet I got for quite a while was when I was being surreptitiously passed around during a lecture tit wasnit the one on HI3i, I know, because I heard a fellow say it wouldn't do to risk thatj. IVell, finally I landed in the pocket of a professor for presentation at Fa- culty meeting, and not knowing what that meant, I couldn' t have been more ner- vous had I been about to be presented at the Court of St. Jamesf It wasn't a very friendly greeting that they gave me. I was evidently looked upon as an intruder, and I knew from the way in which they regarded me that I wasn't welcome. After a time a distinguished looking gentleman picked me up and read out what the marks on me meant. There was an ominous silence. Then slowly and deliberately all the names on me were read out, with no comment, but with a universal groan whenever the name of a good student was reached, as though good students should never wish holiday. Then I thought I must be in court, for I heard somebody fthe judge, I guessj say, 4' Illhat shall we do with this W' I think I got the worst of the argu- ment which followed. The hffath. professor carefully counted all the names I bore, with a sharp lookout for duplicates, and after comparing with the number 157 of nanies on the register, he announced the reinarliable fact that only 79.8 lll'1' cent. of the students had signed, and he did not believe a petition should be graiited to less than S0 per cent. of the student body. The fact that of the 20.2 per cent. not signing all but one were in the city 'ion business was 11ot taken into account. Unfortunately for iny standing, the English professor found a slight graniinatieal error i11 niy niake-up, and the exponent of the classics, who is nothing if not neat, discovered two niicroscopic ink-spots in addition to scrawl- ing sigiiatures, Zllld straiglitway reniarked that Hthis docinnent appears to bear evidence of precipitate action. . Tl1e11 seine one see111ed to express the CO111111011 Selltllllellt of all by saying, 'C I suppose we had better turn it downf' a11d I wondered if they were going to intlict corporal 1Jll11lSl1111C1lf.

Perhaps soine tiine-it is too inueh to hope for yet-the janitor inay see fit to clean up, Hllil end our unhappy lives by eonsigning us to the Haines, but for the present there is nothing. to do except to lie here and brood over a wasted life and on the foolishness of students who go on Writing petitions which are never granted. 1 1In the Gbemical iLab.

For six and twenty years He wore the form of earth-born ma n. We called him Keats. He lived, and toiled, and loved His soul, attuned to heavenly harmonies, Had naught in common with earth's baser strainsg His spirit, fashioned in a seraph's mould, Too lofty was for low and sordid things. His era knew him not, nor more did he His era know. Above the present thought, His rare soul kinship found across the seas, ln that old land of poesy. He brought a message from that other world, In whose pure air his native spirit breathed. He taught us higher thoughts and nobler aims, Brought close our souls to natureg made us see With undinnned vision, made us live once more. As when the sun in his descending course Sinks to his rest beyond the western hills, And falls so gently from our earth away, That we his face miss not until the shades Of evening gather o'er the darkening world 3 So him we missed not until we perceived A lessened glory, but the sun had gone. 162 'dlp in the Elttic. Up in the attic we played, Long, long ago. She was a winsome, laughing maid, lVith merry eyes and cheeks aglow, And I was a boy and her beau. Sometimes a princess she was, by right, While I was her faithful and loyal knight. For, back in the gloom Of the dim-lit room, In fastness of rubbish and trunks and chairs, Dwelt a giant bold, In those days of old, That oft would attack us unawares, And capture the princess. Then would I, Like a loyal knight, to the rescue ily. Long at the make-believe we'd play, Charmed by the spell of our own romance, Till the golden sunbeams stole away, And back in the gloom would the goblins dance- Till the shapeless shadows grew apace And the lights in the west burned low, Then away we'd race down the old stair-case, Long, long ago. Back to the attic we strayed Not long ago, And we talked of the games we had often played Under its roof and rafters low CAnd the world seemed all aglowj. We stormed the giant's castled wall, And marvelled-it seemed so very small! While each cupboard and nook, And each picture book, All seemed to have lost their old-time charm, And that ghost-like sigh, As the wind drove by, Thrilled us not, as of old, with a sweet alarm. I-Iow we laughed when we thought of those childhood dax s b Yet wished as we laughed they could last always Ah, giants and castles and knights must go, As childhood's fancies and dreams depart, One dream remained, and I whispered low That she was still princess of my heartg That her knight had grown into a worldly man, As boys, alas, must grow, But I loved my queen, and that love began Long, long ago. jfleurs be Vilmour I.

XOTE.-This poem is preserved in a recently discovered Ms. Cotton, Cali- gula, Q, 13, immediately preceding Chaucer,s Prolog to the Legend of Good XVomen, A text. Though the parchment upon which it is written is in ex- cellent condition, the writing is very poor and extremely hard to decipher, the scribe was probably an ignorant unlearned fellow. Its genuineness has not yet been definitely determined. Although the hall-marks of Chaueer's genius, the quiet hu1no1', the habit of summing up entire sentences in a single word or phrase, the easy flowing, musical rhymth, etc., are contin- ually to be found in the poem, yet there are several false rhymes, and also violations of the y-ye and of the open and close e rhyme tests. The Ed- itors after due consideration have reached the conclusion that the poem is by Chaueerg but that it was written during his second period when his genius was fairly far developed. but when his verse structure had not reached the perfection later displayed in the Canterbury Tales. This is the first time that it has ever been printed-and will likely be the last time.
