They are those which in every department of philosophy are at present engaging the attention of thinking people: the practical problems of life. Therefore we have volumes written dis- cussing Shakespeare ' s views on religion, his political theories, and his philosophy of life for the individual. Another test of Shakespeare ' s usefulness as a guide in modern practical problems ought surely to be his teachings on questions of sociology as represented in the only aspect of it that can be seen in his works, — his attitude to- wards the plain people. An inquiry into such a question has many difficulties, the chief of which is that the poet ' s opinion on this subject must be gathered wholly from an inductive study of the characters themselves, without aid from explicit or abstract statements. But there is a compensation in the certainty of the result when it is found, for the fact that the great majority of Shakespeare ' s plain people are char- acters entirely original with him is a proof that the attitude displayed towards them as a whole is a genuine expression of the poet ' s own opinion. In looking at the lists of characters of the plays, one is at the first struck with the comparatively small number of those that can properly be called plain people, and a further study makes it evident that even of these only a part can be taken as repre- senting the poet ' s serious opinions. For Shakespeare ' s delineations of plain people fall naturally into two classes : the seriously drawn portraits, and the caricatures. Although in general the latter are not so valuable for study as the former, yet in many cases they furnish indirect or negative evidence that is not found in the serious representations, and which adds much to the sum total of our understanding of Shakespeare ' s conception of plain people. Besides these typical plain people, shown either in caricature or in their actual proportions, there are many characters in the plays that seem on the border-land of both the middle and the higher or the middle and the lower classes of society. This confusion is due to Shakespeare ' s tendency to disregard outward circumstances and position in order to lay more emphasis on the development of the mind, and in some cases he has carried this so far that the result is a partial contradiction. Some of his most original characters are conceived in this manner, of which Falstaff is a good example. How can this notorious drunk- ard be of the same social class with Shakespeare ' s refined gentlemen ? — and, on the other hand, how can the unrivaled humorist and chosen companion of Prince Henry belong to the lowest class, with whom he is seen in fellowship ? There are many characters such as this, some of whom may seem by outward circumstances to belong with Shakespeare ' s plain people, but who have inner qualities so widely different that an immeasurable distance severs them from the real plain people. It is therefore better to exclude these entirely from our study, and to consider only those whom Shakespeare himself unmistakably regarded as of this type. The only plays of Shakespeare in which the principal actors are plain people, — The Merry Wives of Windsor and The Comedy of Errors, — contain, as we should expect, the most typical and the most complete portraits of this class. The charac- ters in these plays are also, for the most part, seriously drawn, and it is these rather than the caricatures that give the most complete portraits. The value of the carica- tures in this study is in supplementing the general impression by adding minor traits, and in making clear certain characteristics by means of the over-emphasis and exag- geration in which the caricature consists. In The Merry Wives of Windsor, the atmosphere is unmistakable. We are trans- ported to an English country town, and much of the action takes place out of doors. Against this background of simple rural life the characters of the play stand out distinctly, themselves the representatives of English rustic simplicity. This play gives us the best picture of family life that Shakespeare has drawn, and this fact, necessitating as it does that each member of the family should be shown in many different relations, gives to these country people a certain quality of reality and con- creteness that is not found even in Shakespeare ' s greatest characters. Here are treated the relations of husband and wife, of parents and children, and of friends and neighbors, besides the more slightly sketched love story of Anne Page and Fenton. It is noticeable that the boy William Page, incompletely as he is drawn, is Shakespeare ' s only portrait of a child of the middle class. Although, contrary to the usual rule, in this play fully as much emphasis is laid on the action as on the characterization, yet some of the principal actors are drawn with much skill and distinctness. The merry wives, Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford, are perhaps the least differentiated. They are alike in their sturdy common sense, their ingenuity, their high moral principles, and their appreciation of the humorous side of life. Mrs. Page is shown in more relations than Mrs. Ford, for she is con- cerned for the welfare of her daughter and her little son. In the scene in which young William appears, we see the ambition of the plain woman to give her son a better education than she herself enjoyed, and her complacent pride in his rather doubtful progress. In her relation to her daughter she is shown in a less favorable light, for, although she is not so blind to Anne ' s welfare as is Mr. Page, who considers nothing but money, she shows her lack of insight and sympathy by attempting to force the marriage with Dr. Caius. Mr. Page and Mr. Ford are more carefully depicted than their wives. The hospitable, easy-going, and jovial Page is contrasted with the suspicious Ford, who alone in this merry company has a morbid moral sense. This characteristic is emphasized by his corresponding lack of humor, which is so important an element in most of the other characters. The difference between the two men in this respect is well brought out in the scene where Ford show s his utter inability to see the proportions of things by making an elaborate and high-flown apology to his wife. The impatient interruption of Page is characteristic : ' Tis well, ' tis well ; no more : Be not as extreme in submission As in offence. In the host of the Garter Inn there is another contrast to Ford, for the most noticeable trait in this jovial fun-maker is a keen appreciation of the ludicrous. His sense of humor is more complex and refined than that of most of the other characters, for he sees material for laughter . not only in the palpably comic situations from which the merriment of the wives of Windsor is drawn, but also in the more subtle comedy that is inherent in the characters of some of his companions. He takes delight in inveigling the fiery Dr. Caius and the dignified parson Evans into a situation in which the peculiarities of each will be shown to the best advantage for the edification of himself and his friends. In sweet Anne Page we have decidedly the highest type of character in the play. The only ideal element in the action centers around her, and it is largely this love idyl, inconspicuous though it is, that redeems the play from its otherwise too strongly emphasized farcical character. That Shakespeare drew this figure, in whom the more ideal traits are prominent, with deliberate intent is shown by the care and skill which he lavished on the characterization, as if to counterbalance the inconspicu- ousness of her part in the action of the play. In the first place, she is in strong contrast to almost all the other characters except Fenton. A description of her is put into the mouth of another character, a device little used in this play : She has brown hair, and speaks small like a woman. She is also shown in many different relations, each of which brings out a new side of her nature. Towards the foolish Slender she is dignified, but courteous, as becomes the hostess; in her relations with her parents, although she uses some deception, she appears entirely excusable under the circumstances. She is endowed with a quick insight into character, and she has a sense of humor that is far more delicate and refined than that of her companions. The difference is seen when we compare the rude appreciation of somewhat grossly comic situations shown by Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford with the humorous philosophy of Anne, when she says, speaking of her father ' s preference for Slender: O, what a world of vile, ill-favored faults Looks handsome in three hundred pounds a year ! But it is in her relations with Fenton that the highest side of her nature is emphazised. In her choice of the refined gentleman in preference to the more common people by whom she is surrounded, there is an indication of the sympathies and the tendency of her mind. Unlike her father and mother, she is influenced by no worldly consid- erations, and her unhesitating choice of the poorer man is a proof of the simplicity and truth of her nature. Her lover ' s defence of their deception well expresses her own attitude towards the most sacred things of life: The offence is holy that she hath committed : And this deceit loses the name of craft, Of disobedience, or unduteous title; Since therein she doth evitate and shun A thousand irreligious cursed hours Which forced marriage would have brought upon her. These are the seriously depicted characters in the Merry Wives of Winsdor, and they are the most complete expressions that we have in any o ne play of Shakes- peare ' s conception of plain people. The sketches elsewhere drawn, with the ex- ception of the characters in The Comedy of Errors, do not pretend to be complete portraits, although they are very valuable as giving additional traits, for of course the persons in any one play cannot be complete representatives of a class. The funda- mental conception, then, of plain people in Shakespeare ' s works, though not a com- plete one, is to be found in these country people of Windsor. The characteristics that stands out most clearly from a study of these characters is the high morality that belongs to all of them. In Ford this is accompanied by a morbid over-anxiety, but in the others it is perfectly natural, and this spontaneity proves it to be deep-rooted. But in these men and women, with the sole exception of Anne Page, there is no in- dication of a development of the moral into the religious sense ; the higher feelings in them seem to have been crushed out by the common round of daily duties and pleasures. With Anne Page it is different. Her attitude toward life in general is in- dicated by her action in regard to her marriage, and, although the religious sense in her is not explicitly brought out, it is at least suggested from what is shown of her character. In the midnight masque in Windsor forest, Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford saw only a comic situation, but we are sure that Anne felt also the beauty of the quiet woods. A trait common to all these characters (here again Ford is the only exception) is the sense of humor that never deserts them. In most of them it does not rise above a good-natured jocularity ; in Anne Page alone it appears in a more refined form. Not one of thesa men and women is a real humorist. The general character of the members of this country community precludes the possibility of any strong element of passion in their natures, the only suggestion of it being the love of Anne Page. Ford ' s jealousy is a mere caricature of the passion which Shakespeare has treated so grandly in Othello and The Winter ' s Tale. In accordance also with the prevading traits of these people, the poet has delineated no change or development of character. At the end of the play all the actors are at exactly the same point of development as before the events there shown took place. The reconciliation of Ford to his wife might be cited as an exception ; but after all this is only one of the comic incidents of the play, and it is impossible that any real revolution of character should be brought about by farcical means. This, then, is there presentation of plain people given in this play ; in general, they are typical country people, not over-refined, but unimpeach- able in the integrity of their morals; possessing a sense of the ludicrous, but lacking the appreciation of the beautiful and sublime that almost invariably accompanies the subtle and refined humor of Shakespeare ' s higher characters ; living their lives in almost unbroken tranquillity, but, on the other hand, incapable of rising to any sublime height of passion. Anne Page is a partial exception to these statements in almost every respect. It is as if the poet were not satisfied to leave the characters in this play on record as his ultimate conception of plain people, and therefore introduced in her a character containing more of the ideal element. Yet she is so different from her companions as to be out of place, for it seems perfectly natural that she should bid her father ' s guests welcome to the pippins and cheese, and take part in the practical joke directed against the fat knight. There is a long distance between Anne Page and Beatrice. The Comedy of Errors is the play that gives the most complete portrait of plain people next to that in The Merry Wives of Windsor. However, it has not nearly the value of the latter, because, being one of Shakespeare ' s earliest plays, its character- ization is imperfect, and interest in the actors is overshadowed by interest in the plot. Had the picture here been as well drawn and as complete as that in The Merry Wives of Windsor, we should have had a companion piece to that, the people of Windsor representing the plain people of the country, while the merchants and their families in Ephesus appeared as the type of plain people in the city. But although some of the characters here are little more than names, several stand out clearly, and from them we get new traits to add to the portrait of Shakespeare ' s plain people. The difference that is most apparent between this play and The Merry Wives of Windsor is the fact that here several of the characters have a tragic interest, and, as Gervinus has pointed out, the whole action is thus given a tragic background which prevents it from being a mere burlesque. Here, then, are men and women whose lives are not passed in uneventful tranquillity, and whose higher natures are not allowed to sleep undisturbed by sorrow. Sgeon is one of Shakespeare ' s most at- tractive pictures of old men. He is dignified and calm even in sorrow and in the face of death, but his most prominent trait is a noble and unselfish domestic love. His character is very slightly sketched, but Shakespeare ' s estimate of him may be gathered from the fact that he places him in a position exciting our deepest sympathy. Emilia, the wife of .Egeon, belongs in the portrait gallery of the nuns and the friars. She has the common qualities of that class, — prudence and superior tact and wisdom in judg- ing. The other women of the play, Adriana and Luciana, are not so carefully drawn, though their characters are more differentiated than those of their husbands. Except that they conspicuously lack any sense of humor, they resemble the women of the Windsor play; but they are not shown in so many relations as the latter. The picture of family life is here less complete for this very reason; for instance, there is no hint of relations between parents and children in the home. On the other hand, the relation between mistress and servants is developed at length. It is clear that in The Comedy of Errors a very different type of plain people is shown from that in The Merry Wives oj Windsor. The very atmosphere in which they move is more conventional, and the characters lack the freshness and charm of those in the rural surroundings. The sense of humor, which is so prominently shown in the country people, is absolutely lacking in these, with the possible exception of Emilia. Indeed, master and mistress are strongly contrasted with the servants by reason of the fact that the latter do have a sense of humor to a considerable degree. The moral tone of this play, as of the other, is high, but here it is not so spontaneous and healthy, at least in the part devoted to the farcical action. In considering the other qualities shown by the people in The Comedy of Errors, we must distinguish between the characters belonging to the different parts of the action. yEgeon and yEmilia, whose story forms the tragic background, certainly have a religous sense, though in both it is implied rather than developed. In both, also, there is true passion, although it is much more developed in yEgeon than in Emilia. The charac- ters of the main action, on the other hand, lack both the religious sense and the capability of passion, for, although Adriana ' s jealousy is treated in a serious manner in contrast to that of Ford in The Merry Wives of Windsor, yet it never rises to the dignity of passion. In like manner, the love of Antipholus of Syracuse for Luciana can be disposed of as contributing mostly to the action of the play. This courtship entirely lacks the ideal element that marks the love of Anne Page and Fenton. Con- sidering the actors in the main part of The Comedy of Errors, there is little to add to the conception of plain people already gained from The Merry Wives of Windsor. Those in the background, however, are of quite a different type ; they add the quali- ties of dignity and elevation of character in humble circumstances, and of capacity for genuine passion and religious feeling. The contribution to our subject of the remaining individual characters among Shakespeare ' s seriously delineated plain people must necessarily be small. Instead of the atmosphere of middle-class society we have for the most part that of the court or the rich gentleman ' s house, and the part played by the persons we are considering, instead of being the most prominent, is often the most insignificant. From this fact it follows that these characters can not be drawn with any completeness, and some- times only the merest sketch is given. It follows, also, from the fact that they are introduced not for their own sake, but for the sake of the action or the theme of the p lay as a whole, that the portraits will not only be fragmentary, but will sometimes be distorted by the attempt to adapt them to only one function in the drama. We have to beware, therefore, of drawing too positive conclusions from characters that appear thus in only one aspect, although, of course, this is not true in so great a degree as in studying the caricatures, which are purposely distorted. Most of the remaining plain people that are seriously drawn fall naturally into three classes : the typical country peasants, the friars and the nuns, and those desig- nated as citizens. Besides these there are a few characters, which, since they are of the same social class as those we have been studying, it will be well to consider first. These are: the Widow and Diana in All ' s Well that Ends Well; Antonio in Twelfth Night ; and the old men in Macbeth and King Lear, respectively. Each of these, though all are incompletely drawn, adds some new element to our conception of the plain people of this class. In the widow and her daughter we have perhaps the most highly developed moral sense in any of the plain people. In Antonio the faithful friend is emphasized, and it is noticeable that this is the only one of Shakes- peare ' s plain people that represents preeminently the virtue of friendship. On the part of Antonio certainly this attachment is worthy to be compared with the poet ' s more celebrated pictures of friendship, as, for instance, that between Rosalind and Celia, or between the Venetian gentleman, Antonio and Bassanio. This sea-faring man has perhaps more capacity for passion than any other of Shakespeare ' s plain people except yEgeon. The character is very sympathetically drawn. The old men in Macbeth and King Lear each appear in only a single scene, and are introduced for a dramatic purpose not connected with the development of their own characters, yet they are so sympathetically delineated that they doubtless represent Shakespeare ' s true conception. The old man in Macbeth appears only in a scene inserted to give information, yet his love of reminiscence, his reflectiveness, and his religious sense are well brought out. In King Lear, the purpose of the introduction of the old man is to illustrate the thought of the play by contrast, and therefore the only character- istics emphasized are his gratitude and gentleness. In considering the country peasants, we pass from the middle grade of society into a class unique and separated from the others, — neither middle nor lower. It is the class containing people that are emphatically children of Nature, in whom neither the rules of conventional society nor the effects of education have had oppor- tunity to work. It contains almost all of Shakespeare ' s na tural clowns, as disting- uished from his refined and witty fools. It is noticeable that almost all the men belonging here maybe called clowns, while the women, with the exception of Audrey, are not remarkable for their stupidity, but quite the opposite. Perhaps the repre- sentatives of these country peasants thatare most true to life are Audrey and William in As You Like Lt. What the character of Audrey loses in stupidity it gains from her ingenuousness and strong moral sense. The emphasis on the natural morality of this simple, almost stupid, character is significant as expressing, once for all, Shakespeare ' s belief in the fundamental and inevitable character of moral law. Audrey ' s sisters are very meagerly drawn, and little emphasis is laid on their moral sense, though it is by no means contradicted. They are represented as pretty country girls, whereas Audrey is entirely without beauty. Jaquenetta in Love ' s Labour Lost has a quick wit and ready insight into character ; Mopsa and Dorcas in The Winter ' s Tale are coquettish shepherdesses, whose chief charm lies in the scenic effect produced when the play is acted. Of the clowns, William is probably the most true to life, but he is the least differ- entiated of all. His chief characteristics seem to be stupidity and humility. Costard is a far more complex character, though he is probably less faithfully drawn from life; for, like most of the actors in this play, he bears a very direct relation to the theme, and the conception of his character must be modified in accordance with that. He is like William in his natural stupidity, but he has other traits that seem to connect him with several distinct types of Shakespeare ' s characters. For instance, his self- consciousness and ludicrous misuse of words seem to suggest the constable family, although neither of these characteristics is so fully developed as we find it in the best representatives of that class. Again, his affectation of wit and pihlosophy seems like an imitation of the court fools. The great difference, of course, is that Costard ' s wit always breaks down, as, for example, in conversation with the genuinely witty Moth: Costard. Well, if ever I do see the merry days of desolation that I have seen, some shall see — Moth. What shall some see ? Costard. Nay, nothing, Master Moth, but what they look upon. The old shepherd and his son in The Winter ' s Tale are the most attractive of Shakespeare ' s natural clowns. Both have the simplicity and ingenuousness that is the chief charm of Audrey and William, but the many-sidedness of their characters make them far more interesting than the monotonously stupid peasants of the Forest of Arden. For instance, the shepherd ' s son, although too credulous to take care of his money, by no means gives the impression of stupidity, for he is endowed with a vivid imagination which is his most prominent trait. This is shown in his de- scription of the wreck and it explains his seeming cowardice in the interview where Autolycus tells him of the tortures awaiting him. Another characteristic is his warm- hearted generosity and pity, which, though not joined to good judgment, is very attractive. The old man is distinguished by his moral sense and by his quaint seriousness, which, though it appears comic to us, was very real to him. Both of these traits are well shown in the scene after the transformation of the two rustics, and the language is characteristic of the man. The clownish son is speaking to the rogue Autolycus : Clown. Give me my hand : I will swear to the prince thou art as honest a true fellow as any is in Bohemia. Shepherd. You may say it, but not swear it. Clown. Not swear it, now I am a gentleman ? Let Boors and franklins say it, I ' ll swear it. Shepherd. How if it be false, son ? Comparing these country peasants with the plain people of the middle class already considered, we find several likenesses and many points of difference. In general the same moral element is emphasized, but here it is never joined to a sense of humor. Indeed, the lack of this sense of humor, which includes the faculty of see- ing oursels as others see us, makes some of these peasants, notably Costard, verge on the class of comic characters. Another marked difference is in the intellec- tual plane of the two classes. Clearly these country people are in power of mind and even in common sense far below those in The Merry Wives of Windsor. The lack of capacity for passion and all higher feelings is very strongly marked in these charac- ters, and it is this lack more than anything else that tends to give a certain comic character to the whole class. In some cases, however, notably in the shepherd and his son in The Winter ' s Tale, this is counteracted by the sympathetic manner in which the characters are drawn. The friars and the nuns add little to our previous conception of Shakespeare ' s plain people, except those traits already shown in Emilia, — prudence, superior wis- dom, and general elevation of character. But when we turn to the class rather indefi- nitely referred to in the dramatis persona as citizens, we find an entirely new set of characteristics emphasized. The citizens appear with any importance in only four plays : Julius Ccesar, Corio anus, King Richard the Third, and King John; but between those shown in these plays there are great differences. In Julius Casar, the people are represented almost entirely as a body, and very little as individuals. The mob is characterized by absolute fickleness, unreasonableness, and stupidity. In the one scene where the citizens are treated as individuals, the first scene of the play, they appear in a slightly better light, for one, at least, is gifted with a quick wit unusual among all Shakespeare ' s plain people. In Coriolanus the same rule holds. Where the people are considered as a mob they are shown as easily influenced and untrust- worthy ; but, treated as individuals, they show real worth. Several of the leaders especially, exhibit impartiality in judging and a tolerance that is contrasted with the unreasonableness of Coriolanus. Several of them also have considerable argument- ative ability. In King Richard the Third and King John, the citizens are shown entirely as individuals, and it is here that they appear in their best aspect. In both plays they are thoughtful and capable of weighing the affairs of the nation. In the scene in King Richard the Third especially they show a strong religious sense, and it is noteworthy that the passage often quoted as Shakespeare ' s own opinion : Woe to that land that ' s governed by a child ! is put into the mouth of one of their number. Shakespeare ' s attitude towards the citizens is well summed up by Edward Dowden : That he (Shakespeare) recognized the manly worth and vigor of the English character is evident. It can not be denied, however, that when the people are seen in masses in Shakespeare ' s plays, they are nearly always shown as factious, fickle, and irrational. The chief difficulty in dealing with the plain people as represented in caricature is in determining to what extent their characters are distorted by the exaggeration. For some caricatures, although of course certain traits are unduly exaggerated, are shown in so many aspects that they have a reality and therefore a value exceeding that of some seriously drawn characters. Generally, the value for our study of a caricature is in direct proportion to the remoteness of its relation to the theme of the play. For instance, Holofernes and Nathaniel in Love ' s Labour Lost afford very little material, because their connection with the theme is so close that they are little more than embodiments of one exaggerated trait, — here, the affectation of learning. On the other hand, the value of Bottom and his companions in A Midsummer Night ' s Dream and of Sir Hugh Evans in The Merry Wives of Windsor is great, because their relation to the theme is of such a nature that no one characteristic is required to be emphasized to the exclusion of all the others, and therefore we have a much fairer representation. Among the most sympathetically drawn of all Shakespeare ' s plain people, cer- tainly the most sympathetically of the caricatures, are the rude mechanicals in A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. Two qualities are especially emphasized in them (although they have many more) ; namely, their lack of imagination and the element of pathos mingled with the comedy of their characters. The first adds a very real touch to our conception of a certain class of Shakespeare ' s plain people, but the second is invaluable as showing the poet ' s own attitude towards these homely, hard- working men. This attitude is well expressed in the words used by Theseus when speaking of the humble theatrical efforts of these men : I will hear that play; For never anything can be amiss When simpleness and duty tender it. The character of Hugh Evans also is drawn with much insight and gives a valuable hint of Shakespeare ' s idea of the dignity and worth of plain men. In fact, although this character, on account of the exaggeration of the misuse of English, is techni- cally a caricature, yet the final impression is that of a serious portraiture. There remain two classes of caricatures: the justice type, represented by Shallow in the second part of King Henry the Fourth, and the constable fraternity, whose greatest representative is Dogberry. The former has little value for our study, for most of these characters are so uniformly contemptible that they hardly seem real, and they are caricatures more of a single trait found in all classes of society than of plain people as such. Likewise the class of constables, of which Dogberry is the head and Dull the feeble forerunner, while Elbow is the still fainter echo, has little value for us; for although these beings are among the most perfect comic characters, the exaggeration is carried so far that they can not give us any hints as to Shakespeare ' s serious conceptions of plain people. Such are some of the most typical of the different classes of Shakespeare ' s plain people. What, in general, is his attitude towards them? In the first place, it is too complex to be reduced to a single formula, for the catholicity of his opinions is equal to the wideness of his observation. Here, as in every class of Shakespeare ' s char- acters, what surprises us most is the great variety of the types he has drawn, each true to life, yet each different from the others. But in this diversity we may distin- guish some constant elements. Almost without exception these homely characters, oftentimes in spite of many drawbacks, command our respect for their high moral standards. The majority of them also are drawn with such a sympathetic touch that they excite feelings of at least partial kinship in every reader. Many of them have a healthy sense of humor and a homely mother-wit that recommend them to our interest. Some of them, like Anne Page and Emilia, rise considerably above the common level in refinement and depth of feeling, and some, like Antonio the sea- captain and y£geon, show genuine passion. But after all there is much to be said on the other side. The most stubborn of facts remains that, although these charac- ters may be the object of special study, yet for the majority of readers Shakespeare ' s plain people, as such, have little interest. When we close the tragedy of Hamlet and turn to The Merry Wives of Windsor we feel at once a lowering of tone that is oppressive. The absorbing interest in a grandly conceived character must be exchanged for a contemplation of the petty doings of the country people. Their morality, when placed beside the sense of the mysterious and sublime that distin- guishes many of Shakespeare ' s pobler characters, seems bare indeed ; their rude sense of the ludicrous, when compared with the humor of Beatrice or Rosalind, is mere buffoonery. And where shall we find among them a man of Hamlet ' s intellect or one having the will power of Prince Henry ? Again, though we admit that the poet has indeed drawn many of these homely characters with much sympathy, yet we shall nowhere find one of them portrayed with the infinite pathos with which he has surrounded his King Lear. But the most striking deficiency of these characters as compared with the grander conceptions of the poet ' s mind, is the entire absence of any growth or change in character. Not one of these people would be capable of the development of mind and soul that we see portrayed in Macbeth, Hamlet, and Othello. This difference is fundamental, and therefore the fact that Shakespeare has nowhere represented his homely characters as rising to a tragic height of passion is very significant. The bare, unvarnished fact concerning Shakespeare ' s attitude towards the plain people of society is not welcome to modern ears, and therefore the tendency to explain it away by urging that, had Shakespeare lived in our time, he would have given us a different picture is very natural. But, although it doubtless contains a partial truth, such an explanation has a fundamental deficiency. If Shakespeare be taken as a supreme guide to the understanding of human character, can we take exception to his teaching in this one respect ? The conception of his other charac- ters is acknowledged to be universally true; is it then likely that in these, whom he knew best, he should have been so far from reaching the universal ideal? The more natural explanation is better : that Shakespeare, in his insight into the character of these homely people, has not fallen below the wonderful power of observation and thought shown in his portrayal of other characters. And upon closer inspection it will be found that this assertion can even be supported by the facts which at first seemed to militate against it. For, when once we get into sympathy with the poet and look at these characters with his broad and impartial view, the absolute and universal truth of the portrait becomes at once apparent. After all has been said, must we not concede that with the plain people, as always, the truth of Shakespeare ' s representation transcends the prejudice that would conform all men of one class to one type ? For is it not true, in our time as in his, that differences in refinement and education must form a dividing line between the classes of society, and that, other things being equal, the man of culture is supe . or, not only in knowledge, but in fine- ness and power of feeling, to the man of limited opportunities? In the delineation of his rural clowns Shakespeare has expressly combated the idea that the natural man is the perfect man. But if further proof of the truth and impartiality of the poet ' s view is wanting, it is surely found in the fact that he did raise some of his plain people to a level far above that of their companions. These are prophetic voices, though they are only faint suggestions, of Shakespeare ' s ideal conception of plain people, his countrymen and ours.

Cbe Jfate of tbe Butterfly I sing of girls and glorious deeds, Of conquests true and bold ; The class of Nineteen-one I sing, I sing the White and Gold. Grant me, O Muse of epic song, Grant me a flowing pen, That hand shall write what heart does feel, Grant only this, — amen ! ' Twas with the autumn leaves she came, And through the woods she strolled, Like them no longer green was she, But wearing of the Gold. She came, passed her exams, and stayed, Made friends where ' er she went, Right modestly lived out the year, To bide her time content. Next year a wonderous change took place And College blinked its eyes To see Nought-one in all her pride A Butterfly arise. Phi Kappa, Alpha, Biolog., Golf, tennis, basket-ball, The Butterfly now soars aloft, Triumphant over all. Next came the Frolic and the Prom. With men from far and nigh ; And she did dance, with witching glance, Our social Butterfly. Now, too, a protegee she found In whom she took great stock, For she did win the grass-green flag, — Nought-three, the Jabberwock. Now, Muse, sustain me while I sing The deeds of Senior year, My heart is in my very throat, My pen-point drops a tear. With purpose grim, elective gym. The Butterfly took up, — The contest done, the flag she ' d won ; The Jabberwock, the cup. The Lion and the Unicorn They gurgle as they say, We ' ll see the last of Nineteen-one On next Commencement day. Her triumphs now are at an end, She bids fair Smith good-day. She has sipped the sweets of college life And homeward wings her way. Ona Lorene Winants. yi+ f i HY SMITH? said Alice - wh y not? said the March Hare. ▼ ▼ a ■ Nevertheless it was a pleasant little surprise for Aunt Sophia, U ' L when in the fall of ' 97, three hundred and forty-six girls were reg- istered for the class of 1901. And when she looked down on num- bers of this same class consigned to the chapel wall for lack of chairs, she felt a good deal like The little old woman who lived in a shoe ; and she had so many children, she didn ' t know what to do. As the first graduating class of the new century, it certainly started out well in the point of numbers. The future was to see its worth in other directions. This phrase from a Freshman letter seems peculiarly characteristic of those first few days. I am very happy here — when I am not muddled. We were the largest class the college had seen, or was to see during our stay ; and about as wieldy as a baby elephant. It was on account of this very size, and the difficulty of dealing with the individual, that made it the harder for us to fathom the mysteries of the course card, to learn when and where and before whom to appear on stated occasions, and to call ourselves, not Freshmen, but the First Class, with true womanly gentility. Unfortunately the Pamphlet of Information did not tell us which was the Old Gym, or insist that books must be left outside of chapel, and that fancy work was not the requirement for college lecture. To offset our numbers we had our age ; awful, solemn, and mature. We were reminded that the average years of 1901 were greater than the years of the graduating ' 98. So if in our innocence we followed the advice of our upper-class friends as to the uselessness of attending Bible, except on rainy days (with the unforeseen result of a condition), and if we found in these same friends much to admire and aspire to, yet we had a certain dignity and independence of our own befitting our mature age. It was with a sense of this dignity beautiful to see, that in our first and never-to-be- forgotten class meeting, we passed a motion that our class should call itself and insist upon bsing called Nineteen One and not Naughty One as the sophomores were inclined to dub us. (It was much to our surprise, however, that we did not continue to be called Naughty One.) To us was due that interesting precedent of exhibiting the candidates for election upon the platform, that there might be no mistakes in the ensuing procedure. With the same spirit of originality the temporary chairman, who was one of the nominees for president, said on leaving the chair, I resign my chair until after the election. We little thought as we carefully stood guard over door and windows, and heard ever and anon from below the howls of the Sophomores struggling to pass our noble and mighty Junior, that ours was the last class meeting to be so desecrated and so defended. On the night of the Sophomore reception the gymnasium was glorious in purple and autumn gold, and Our Little Ones, as our hostesses were pleased to call us, came sweet and girlish in their graduating gowns of the year before. The grinds were most deceptive yellow scrolls, wise looking without, but foolscap within. In spite of their sallies at our expense, and our foolish smiles when our partners explained the little hits, we rather flattered ourselves that, with the exception of the brave girl who telegraphed President Seelye not to meet her at the station, 1901 had conducted herself with a good deal of savoir faire. They told us we were a fine-looking class that night, and as is the nature of Freshman, we decided to have our pictures taken. Who of us can forget that excruciating afternoon, when, notwithstanding the icy chill of a Northampton fall, we were requested to appear on College Hall steps in thin shirtwaists? We obeyed the letter of the law, but the instinct of self-preservation led us to further adorn ourselves with golf capes, which did not enhance the effect. The camera was poised most recklessly in a market wagon, and just as the picture was about to be taken, the horse would start. Then the Sophomores were especially scintillating on this occasion, and we, as a humorous class, were very susceptible to their witticisms. Finally the poor, long-suffering photographer, after many threats actually bade us farewell and drove off as far as the gate. Unfortunately we behaved and the picture was taken. That no Sophomore got into the picture was its only redeeming feature! Now we come to that grand and glorious day, when, like the ship in Kipling ' s story, 1901 Found herself. Not that we had lacked in any degree that historic spirit which gave a large attendance on all class meetings, a just touchiness which resented any slur on the fame of 1901, and a heart-swelling and boundless enthusiasm, when on public occasions we met as a body; but we had not yet found that perfect harmony and unity of spirit which has made 1901 a power in the college. Doesn ' t Bible examination bring to your minds just about the nicest day in college ? Do you remember how our kind Professor, in spite of our entreaties to Miss Knox, left us to our own devices until the eleventh hour ? How one valiant group started up Forty-Nine Blue Bottles which a varied and long extended opposition of college and sentimental songs could not drown ! How the whole professorial body were sent up to Faculty Meeting, and their arrival greeted with the Sinai cheer ! How we partook of a slight repast furnished by some provident members, and ended with our most finished production, Sin, repentance, and a remnant saved ! to a beautiful feet accompaniment. The return of the apologetic Professor was greeted with vigorous applause. Thus did she show herself brave in adversity, honor- able in her dealings; thus did 1901 find herself. The basket-ball game came and went; and we were beaten. The failure of a coup d ' tat of one in our members who asked Mr. King to lend her a ladder that she might top the post of the Old Gym by a glorious 1901, was but the beginning of the end. Having shown ourselves such worthy disciples of ' 99 so far, I fancy we rather exp ected a legacy of ' 99 luck ; and what with their coaching and their famous mascot, Try to get the ball, ball, we had reason to be hopeful. Never did we feel so proud of 1901 as when we saw our dear old team rush in to meet the Purples ; and when after a valiant fight we did not win, — why we loved 1901 the more. The class and inter-class spirit which that defeat gave us, was worth more then the greatest victory. The fact that our team did not lose another game that year, showed what stuff we were made of, and as the Sophomores said, Better luck next year. Wait till spring term ! they had all said. A deprecation of mid-year ' s, a dislike of one ' s room-mate, a groan over English History, were all quieted by this remark. It seemed to be the soothing-syrup of the Freshm en class. And now it was here, this spring term with the apple orchard in the spring, which we had been taught to appreciate in elocution, the concerts on the back campus, and the long walks in the woods. Golf had come with its inducements to losing ball and temper, in the raw new watery course, and even if we lost at tennis, we prided ourselves on the possession of the college golf champion. Thus was the beginning and the end of the first year. We did have a good time, and more than that we conducted ourselves in such a way that the faculty were proud of us. We had studied. Our maidenly action brought no huge letter heading or flaring pictures from the yellow journals. They were slightly engrossed with the Spanish war, it is true: but they did give due attention to that far spreading and emotional religious revival among the upp er classes, by which we as Freshmen, and many of us off-campus Freshman, were little affected. But faculty and newspapers aside, there never was such a class as 1901 ! And I ' m sure we will all agree that the years of 1901 are like the thoughts of a certain king in the fairy tale, each one beautifuller than the other. Eleanor Benedict Hotchkiss. SQPbSJlRE MHAT a change between freshman and sophomore year ! In June of eighteen ninety-eight we were the best of freshmen, but freshmen still; in September we were old stagers. No early returns to North- hampton for us, no anxiety about unknown boarding places and room-mates. We came back leisurely at the last minute on the latest possible train ; we hailed familiar faces among our traveling companions with genuine and vociferous enthusiasm; unfamiliar faces we put down at once as those of freshmen, who probably were feeling disconsolate and lost, and no doubt we bestowed our complacent, care- less pity upon many seniors. We were old stagers : we were on accustomed ground. We gave our checks to the baggage men, perfectly unmoved this time by the thought of the period that might be expected to elapse before we could hope to see our trunks again; and we hurried up to our respective houses, to rush with shrieks into the arms of our friends and to take, very casually, a look at the freshmen. The freshmen ! best feature of sophomore year, so far. In the pleasure of having them under us was forgotten the wonder that we were once freshmen ourselves. What a difference from freshman year the next day, when we went, old stagers, to chapel ! Transept seats are not ideal, but with what satisfaction did we take posses- sion of them ! With what a feeling of sophistication did we saunter down the aisle when our turn came; with what a sense of outrage did we observe the fact that the freshmen were not impressed with the obligation of waiting for us to pass out first ! But this was a mere trifle against the sum of enjoyment. Sophomore year is not the best of the four, but it brings, particularly at the beginning, certain delicious sen- sations that are without parallel. The more substantial satisfaction comes later. Just when it began for us it is hard to say. Not with our first class meeting, though there was a certain new interest about this, nor with the sophomore reception, a monotonous affair at best ; not even when we gathered in a body to superintend the taking of 1902 ' s class picture — occasion when we proved not only our spirit but our sense of law and order and deference to the august voice of the Council ; certainly not at 1902 ' s first class meeting, for none of us were there. We may look back upon this piece of self-restraint with honest pride, but we cannot help deploring the wasted stratagem of those crafty creatures among our number who indefatigably occupied freshman seats in chapel and chattered of freshman courses in order to escape identi- fication with 1901. No, it is not to any particular event or occasion that we can as- cribe the ripening of that best fruit of sophomore year, growth in class spirit. Class spirit, they say, is built upon affection and pride; allowing this, has there ever been or will there ever be a class that has a better right to a generous amount of it than 1901 ? They said at the beginning of the year, as they always say, that we were not particularly humble sophomores ; by the end of the year — I do not remember whether they said so or not — we had proved our right to some arrogance. I think that on the whole we were proudest of our athletic successes, and surely sophomore year is pre- eminently the time when a class should show its athletic prowess. What there was to do in this line, we did — in basketball, in golf, in tennis. We were able to say not only We have the golf championship and the tennis championship, but equally gram- matically We have the golf and tennis champion. And as for the casual way in which that tennis championship was won — perhaps the moral of it was not so good, but the glory was infinitely greater. But the basketball game — that, I suppose, is after all the great recollection of sophomore year. What emotions the thought of that game evokes, emotions ranging from the most harrowing to the most ecstatic: in the last moment of waiting, those frantic questionings, sighed into the ears of our near- est neighbors, as to what we should do if those freshmen should win ; the anxious comparing of our singing with that of the freshmen, superstitiously, as if it were an omen ; 1902 always could make more noise than any other class in college, we agreed somewhat bitterly ; then the game itself, never to be forgotten while college memories last ! Frenzy we had known the year before ; but this year we tasted the frenzy that culminates not in resignation but in ecstacy. How our hearts went out in pride and gratitude to the team as we watched them ! I have it on the very best authority that a frantic member of 1901 was heard to gasp, Those twins are perfect devils! Admiration could go no further. But we were versatile. We were aesthetic as well as athletic ; we always had a neat hand at decorating. Witness the gym as bedecked for 1900 ' s Junior Prom. — more artistically, said the unprejudiced, than ever before ; witness the decorations for our sophomore reception, which the unprejudiced pronounced fit for a Junior Prom. Certainly we were versatile : we attained to making an impression in sopho- more elocution, so that a golden future was prophesied for us along histrionic lines. We were glad to hear it, but June of 1901 was far away, and it was possible for us then — so little do we foresee ! — to think of our senior dramatics without emotion. We flattered ourselves that our sophomore-senior entertainment, if not what we had originally designed it to be — does the sophomore-senior ever follow the original design ? — was a success, and we were glad from motives of vanity and also for the sake of ' 99. Dear old ' 99. Is it merely in conformity to tradition that we loved them ? that affectionate thoughts of them are bound up with every recollection of our soph- omore year ? I have said that we returned to Northampton in September in a very complacent frame of mind. If when we went home in June that complacency, though we were less conscious of it, had taken deeper root, was there not a justification for it? Had we not carried out the promise of our freshman year and been the very best of sophomores ? And if all this may perhaps sound boastful — in the first place, that is quite right and fitting for sophomore year; and in the second place, every word of it is true. Ethel Wallace Hawkins. Way of Basket-ball (Same 1901 VS. 1902 MHEN we were sophomores we somehow gathered the idea that our junior year would be devoted exclusively to social amusements, accompanied by a pleasant course of elective studies, with recitation hours more or less optional. Indeed we were led to believe that it was by reason of this junior frivolity that Smith college had managed to establish its reputation as the society centre of western Massachusetts — a reputation in which our faculty has always taken a pardonable pride. As juniors it did not take us long to learn that we had been basely deceived. Of course a class like nineteen-one would never have been content to spend the whole of junior year solely in pursuit of pleas- ure ; we were much too serious minded and intellectual for that, and besides, the responsibility of the young sophomores and freshmen lay too heavily on our upper-class soul. But we did expect to be offered the choice of a frivolous or strenuous junior year ; we should have enjoyed the opportunity to institute a reform by choosing the sterner alternative. We began well in the matter of reforms by electing the Kimball twins for class treasurer at our first class meeting. Perhaps we would not have dared to do it if we had realized then as we do now how fatal it is to establish a precedent; for it might prove difficult for less fortunate classes to follow this particular precedent. But with us the scheme worked beautifully, because, when times were hard, we could always tell Kimball A. that we had paid our class tax to Kimball L. and vice versa. It was not long, however, before the faculty began to institute reforms. During the summer vacation the faculty had done a great deal of thoughtful planning for us, and the series of little surprises which they had arranged began early in the fall and lasted throughout the entire year. First came the exercise cards. By the time these were introduced we had spent so much time trying to arrange our course cards by the group system and hunting through the catalog for a half-hour course in English 13, that we felt the need of exercise and welcomed the suggestion gladly. For as much as three weeks we kept our records faithfully and neatly. Those were the days when we scorned to take refuge in the convenient Gen. Games column, but reck- oned up the average number of hours per month even unto the fifth decimal figure, and actually tried to pass the cards in at stated intervals, vacillating between the missionary box and the faculty bulletin board as the proper receptacle for our contributions. Unfortunately our efforts in this direction were not sustained. November was hardly over before we were making out our daily records three weeks at a time by the aid of our room-mate ' s diary, trying to persuade ourselves meanwhile that three hours dancing is equivalent to two hours swimming; and by the end of the term we became so shy about passing in these testimonials of our inge- nuity that the faculty felt obliged to make the system compulsory. The next surprise visited upon us was the Thanksgiving plan of abrogating our usual extended recess. At first this seemed to us a cruel and ingenious device, and for a while the gloom of cold storage Northampton turkey settled down over the horizon. The somewhat startling sympathy which the newspapers exhibited for us on that occasion served to calm our indignation a trifle. We did not care to have our dignified and righteous indignation portrayed by such head lines as Faculty Burned in Effigy! Smith Girls Planning a Funeral Procession for Thanksgiving! accompanied by remarkable newspaper cuts of our respectable student body cavorting about the campus after a huge framework turkey. We may have been hungry for our Thanksgiving dinner, but we were never so hungry as that. And in the end how well it all turned out ! How placidly we remarked afterward to the freshmen and sophomores that the faculty are always reasonable, you see, if you only go about things in the right way, meanwhile congratulating ourselves that we had done nothing more violent than sign the successful petition. The effects of the Thanksgiving concession must have been with us still, when in December we obediently substituted a candy sale for the Students ' Building fair, and without a murmur squandered our January allowance on many varieties of fudge and rarebit instead of on the usual stock of pin cushions and toothbrush holders. During the long winter term some few of us managed to attain the true air of bias indifference which we are told distinguishes the upper-class girl from the enthu- siastic sophomore or freshman. But after we had refused several invitations to house dances, and had manifested our classic superiority by giving a Latin play, we suddenly returned to earth, and proceeded to catch the measles as industriously as if we were freshmen again. Washington ' s Birthday lingers in our memory for a variety of reasons, for not only were we favored with one of those cloud bursts that seemed to characterize so many of our junior festivities, but we also had an address by the ex-minister of Siam, who spoke to us, you will remember, on Our responsibilities in the East — or was it The Springfield Republican, a well-known senator, and Admiral Dewey? At the competitive drill in March our athletes gained additional glory for the yel- low by winning the banner, which was awarded to them because they gained so many points in marching and lost so few hairpins in running. Glee club concert season was less exciting than usual, since we were all more or less occupied in wondering whether it would rain or not the day after the Prom. So with unwonted indifference we waited until we were sure of rush tickets, and then invited the second bests, who revenged themselves by staying from Wednesday to Sunday inclusive. But we had one serious duty to perform before going home for the Easter holidays, for must we not appoint a preliminary Dramatics committee to decide whether we should depart from the Shakespearean Cycle, or whether we could yet find some new and undiscovered Shakespearean treasure laid away, perchance by the great Wil- liam himself, particularly for nineteen-one ? Accordingly we selected with care a few of our gifted numbers who forthwith departed for an unhappy vacation to find, as one of the faculty suggested, some little French play that could be prettily and harm- lessly presented in a Chinese setting! We came back after the Easter holidays with great expectations of our junior spring term. Had we not christened the infant grass plot beside Seelye Hall particu- larly that the glee club could have a campus to stand on when they sang to us on summer evenings? Had we not suddenly been moved to pay for our G. and F. A. tickets that we might use the boats on Paradise? And our efforts were not vain, for the spring pastimes proved only too alluring. Passing lightly over Psychology papers and the weekly written lessons in H istory 9, which, by the way, constituted the latest issue of the faculty surprise series, we soon found ourselves confronted by the Prom. In spite of its brevity, who shall say the Prom was not worth all the anticipation, anxiety and telegrams expended upon it? Everything went off beautifully that even- ing, from the dance itself to the precarious fountain which adorned the swimming tank. And although the next day was far from balmy, it would have taken more than that little snow storm to dampen our spirits. Of course all our picnics were confined strictly to the intervals between recitation hours ; yet we were very grateful to those sympathetic members of the faculty, who, even after a flurry of snow, gave us the benefit of the doubt and thoughtfully omitted the roll call. The rest of spring term we spent strolling about the campus in picturesque groups that we might make the college look as attractive as possible during the last days of nineteen hundred. At commencement time, too, we did our best for the Seniors, whom we had revered and loved so long. When we felt in danger of becoming too pathetic we betook our- selves to the basement of the gym. to sit in pools of muddy water and wind the laurel chain, or we rattled about the surrounding country in express carts and bagesr, preferably the Meadow City, hunting industriously for mountain laurel in the swamps and for ferns in the open meadow. At Dramatics, Glee Club concert and collation, we performed our duty impressively and neatly ; but on Ivy Day particu- larly, we considered ourselves quite the feature of the occasion, owing to the majestic manner in which we upheld our junior dignity and that lumpy laurel chain. During the commencement days, our uppermost thought was probably of nineteen- hundred ; but even then how happy and proud we were to belong to the class of nineteen one, and how eagerly we looked forward to the coming fall when we could begin the making of our Senior history! Marguerite Cutler Page. XIGHTLY we came back from the seashore and country last fall, soberly we set to the task of filling out our course-cards. Those were days when to be a class officer was a grievous thing, — we needed all of ours as well as such neutrally-minded and well-disposed members of the faculty as were willing to join in the scramble. But our minds had not been disciplined and trained in subtle and opaque schools of thought for nothing, and, with application, even a Pamphlet of Information may at last be mastered, so we finally trailed before our officers with majors and minors neatly marshalled, and prepared to enter upon the work of senior year. We had not been long at it before the quarter-centennial anniversary was upon us. The campus walks glittered with the pageantry of presidents, deans, magistrates and — soldiers, real soldiers, none of your cheap imitations gotten up in costumes rented from Springfield, but the real, genuine, gory article, with gold lace and very sharp swords. Great days ! — marked also by the coming of the royal, presidential stag. Hallowe ' en came soon, with all its responsibilities, and we shirked none of them (though the removal of the old cidermill at Hadley made a serious difference in the ease with which we accommodated ourselves.) In the meanwhile weeks passed. Dr. and Mrs. Seelye went abroad, and the campus walks grew lonely in spite of the thousand pairs of feet that might be met there ; and the windows of the closed house looked blankly down upon the passers-by. And lo ! the surgeon ' s knife was upon us ! We sickened and moaned and pined and fain would have died, but there was such a growing tendency thereto that suicide was forbidden officially, and we lived perforce. Those were the days before the Christmas vacation, and some of us went to New York and danced all through the holidays. But the good work went merrily on. Cork arms and legs arrived in cases and the needy might apply. Recitations were held in basements and on ground floors. Wheelchairs creaked over the campus. The omnibus made its sad rounds at each hour, crying, Bring out your lame ! But nineteen one was plucky. She cried out, like Johnny Armstrong, I am a little hurt, but I am not slain. She rose to fight again, — and it was mid-years. High tide on the river Lethe ! The soothing waters of forgetfulness have slid over those melancholy wastes and we remember them no more. Better worth recalling was the gymnasium contest and the self-devoting band who won glory for us on the dusty floor of the gym. that day, while the fringe of feet from the gallery waved its rapture and applause. When we came back after the Easter holidays a change had taken place. I think it was then that commencement began, this last week has only been the climax. At any rate, when we came back I ceased to see that my neighbor had red hair, and came to feel that she was less conscious of my glass eye. All had grown beloved and beautiful. Something new and friendly seemed to lurk in the very angles of the buildings themselves. The rest of the term was only a prolonged standing on first one foot and then the other, on the doorstep. The last news had, of course, to be discussed and the last messages exchanged, but we were only delaying our farewell. Yet it is best for us to go, it is right ; for as long as we remain we must neces- sarily occupy the whole arena, and it is only fair to the other classes that are and are to come, that they should have their poor little chance unobscured. Far from us be any idle boasting ; one striking characteristic of our class is our unassuming simplicity. We have walked the length of our four years conscious of our superiority, and yet not eager to impose it upon others. Early in our career we sang with quiet dignity : Here ' s to 1901, She is brighter than the sun ! Sopho- more year finds us shyly singing : See how the President looks with pride upon us, See how the faculty loads us down with honors ! Junior year rings with the fine old chant : Wonder of Smith College now is the class of 1901, and to-night we wonder with grave anxiety how our place can possibly be filled. As the Arab says when taking leave of his wife, Poor thing, how you will miss me ! And they graduated, full of days, and were gathered to the Alvunnae. junior Senior Entertainment Committees Methyl Gertrude Oakes, General Chairman. jffcuaic Mary Louise Spring.

IDesper Service Assembly Hall, 7.00 P. M. despair believing that they are wasted ; who work on until the day of the long- deserved recognition comes, until sheer merit wins acknowledgment. These are they in whom the class delights. Nothing succeeds like success is often as true in college as elsewhere ; but it is doubly true that here nothing succeeds with a class like the success of modest, perseverant self-exertion. The class counts its geniuses with pride, and thanks a generous Providence if it has more of them than the other classes do ; but it is not responsible for them. Nor does it consider itself account- able for those whose greatness is not of their own making ; it takes a certain number of them for granted, and good-naturedly ascribes their creation to a lower order of divinity, — fate, fortune, or chance, or the spirit of things. But it holds itself pecu- liarly a tone with the self-made architects of their own fate. In them it finds the fulfilment of the prophecy which lies in its own ideals, — the ideal of growth and the ideal of attainment in growth. In them it finds a hint of the solution of the great world problem, the making of man, toward which each self-maker contributes ; and to them it vows its loyalty and aid. And what of those who never have greatness in the college world? That need be no augury for their future, as the lives of many men remind us. But among such are some who have been condemned, perhaps by a mistake on their own part or by the misfortune of circumstances, to be misunderstood by the majority, — misunder- stood with that kind of misunderstanding which labels people as freaks and snobs. Just what those terms mean, it is difficult to say ; we have all heard them used so vaguely and indiscriminately that we sometimes think that anybody who has not been called one or both by somebody at one time or another in her college course must be indeed a remarkable individual. And there are those whom we consider uninterest- ing, principally because we never took the pains to find out whether they were or not. In fact, we are all freaks and snobs and uninteresting to some people ; and we lay the blame on their point of view, and feel justified. This would be the place to stop and draw my first moral, if I intended to draw any. Besides those who are misunderstood, there are those who are not well known, because their talents, however great or small, are not of the conspicuous kind or the kind adapted to college display. I once heard pity expressed for one such girl, whom I knew to be greatly valued in her own circle of friends, as a hearty, helpful com- panion, as one who did those little kindnesses which most leave undone or despise. Yet if her talent for home-making did find the end of her corridor in a campus house too small a sphere for the acquirement of a college reputation, who would not think her and the college and the world losers, were it to be bartered for the ability to score in basket-ball, to write a play, or paint a poster? I do not mean to call such girls, merely because they are not well known, persons of no reputation; for reputation is a shadow which the sunlight of social environment anywhere, but especially at college, can not fail to cast. The differences are in size and definiteness and the distorting power of the angle at which it is cast. And what of this distortion? A shadow is harmless enough until one begins to draw inferences from it, and in concrete cases we are usually on the safe side; as when we hesit ate to judge of the size of our noses by the changing shapes which the hearth fire traces on the opposite wall, since we realize that even a careful silhouette may err in respect to that important feature. Yet in inferences from reputation shadows we incur strange fallacies, like that of composition, where we mistake the arm or the leg for the whole body, and create strange partial reputations which would be hard for any one acquainted with the subjects of them to recognize, not because those subjects fail to possess the ascribed attributes, but because they are hardly given credit for possessing any others. We make these one-sided reputations for each other because we have a natural love for definiteness; we want to know something tangible and exact about a person, to get her talents pigeon-holed in our desk of desirabilities; and to this end we catch at any handle which offers. If two or three handles of different types present themselves, we call the girl all round, and feel that we have done our duty by her. But what ' s in a name ? What is the effect of all these reputations, great and small, mistaken and misunderstood, complete and partial ? The effect on the subjects of the reputations can hardly fail to be considerable in a place of so much introspection, so much both conscious and unconscious comparison of one ' s self with one ' s neighbors. We are discouraged and we are elated : discouraged, because in the years when we have been making wonderful discoveries of new powers in ourselves, and have seemed to sit by, looking on while these new things budded and blossomed, like the magician ' s plant, almost before we knew what they were, — discouraged because, at such a time of inner exhilaration, the world around takes no notice at all, or only says in its superior way, Never mind her conceit; they all have to pass through that stage ; elated, because at another time the world stops to look at us interestedly, and gets the notion that we have possibilities, — whereupon it constructs a little throne for their display; discouraged again, because after a little wear we find the throne doesn ' t fit ; the world had seen possibilities- - that was well ; but it hadn ' t seen the right ones; and then elated again, because if the world has been mistaken, it has only failed to discover our true selves, and they are, after all, much more valuable than what it mistook them for; they are, after all, much deeper, stronger, and fuller of possibilities than it could see, even with the help of the X-ray quality of that fierce light which beats upon a throne. And we consider how the world makes the reputations for people, and the thought is a cure for too much reliance on their accuracy. Then, too, we never see our own reputation as the world sees it. If we get it at all, it comes through the medium of our own flesh and blood, and takes their tint; — we turn around to look at our shadow, and it is changed. In short, at college as elsewhere, it needs a certain healthy independence of opinion and a degree of honest self-respect, tempered by modesty and an appreciation of others, to resist the temptations of a reputation, be it too small or too great. Yet there is an attitude of false independence, which loves to surprise people by doing something merely because it is at variance with an established reputation. This attitude ignores the privilege of living up to a good reputation. We excuse ourselves by saying that we want experiences of all kinds, and that the discovery of our reputa- tion for doing one thing has opened our eyes to the fact that we ought to have the experience of doing the opposite thing. In this we are too sophisticated. We might well consider that the kind of our experience is quite as important in its effect on character as is the amount. Then again, we think of our reputation as our own con- cern, without remembering that others have a claim to consideration in it ; that the past which made our good reputation found ' in the material for it a promise of advance along the same lines. Even amid the self-centered interests of self-culture, let us reflect with Hawthorne that the highest path is pointed out by the pure Ideal of those who look up to us, and who, if we tread less loftily, may never look so high again. One ' s reputation has been denned as one ' s latent influence, and the extent of such influence at college is incalculable. It lends the stimulus of an example to some rather torpid spirits, and sets a standard for the ambitions of the active ones. If healthy and normal, it enlivens competition with the zest of those well-mated ; if unnaturally developed, it strangles competition by creating an abnormal self-distrust through the dread of a great name. In our college politics, where in the minds of many reputation is matched against reputation, it adds a spice whose coarser form is gossip. The influence of all this upon the college spirit is felt in the way it modifies a standard of values. In the enthusiasm of youthful endeavor, we generally come to college with the subconscious idea that reputation is a desirable thing to have a good deal of. Since here there are too many of us for most to be known for what they are, the alternative remains to be known for what they do. We must, then, struggle to accomplish something striking, — an effect must be sought for, — or our college career is a failure. Then the end of self-culture becomes lost to view, as the activities crowd in upon us and make us near-sighted. We weary ourselves counting the honors of the president of this class or that organization, and speculating how many committees such a one has served on, and it becomes our aim to balance our own achievements suc- cessfully against other people ' s ; until our good human nature comes to the rescue by showing us the aimlessness of such an aim, and asking, What does it profit to gain the whole world of reputation and lose one ' s best possibilities of development ? And with a triumphant revolt against the emptiness of working for renown, we turn back to the rediscovery of our inner life, and of its law that if we work for the love of the work, the working itself is our reward, bringing as it does that exercise of power which is life. And with new insight we see that power and that life in changed relations to reputation; we see the glory of character far outshining the glory of achievement ; we repudiate that which we had done in rivalship and in pride, and seek the nobility and the beauty of that which is done in humble earnestness. Thus, however much we may have thought that a frenzy of activities was the expression of the college spirit, the college life brings us by its own route, with the disciplinary aid of reputations of all kinds, to the realization that the college spirit means the striving to attain a harmony of being and of doing, with a love for the ideal which shall outlive attacks of misunderstanding or of over-appreciation ; that the college spirit is the spirit of striving, not for the golden grove and the summer sky, but for a sympathy with truth, — with the highest, broadest truth ; that the glory of the college spirit is, like the glory of Virtue, to fight, to struggle. . . . Nay, but she aim ' d not at glory, no lover of glory she; Give her the glory of going on, and still to be. Charlotte Burgis DeForest.

There ' s alchemy hid in the silver light That floods the earth on a summer night ; And there ' s just one drawback — or so they say, One rather forgets how it seems by day, In the witchery of the moon. You vow you do, though you really dont; And she says she will, while she knows she won ' t ; And you ' re sure you may, and you probably do, And she knows that it isn ' t as well as you — ' Tis the witchery of the moon. You see on the morrow when cool and sane That the thing won ' t do, and you ' ll have to ex- plain. But it ' s difficult rather to go about it And terribly helpless you feel without it The witchery of the moon. Ethel Wallace Hawkins. Xove For me at last the solemn depths of mystery are stirred, The waiting silence of my life is broken with a word. The floods that in the aeons past have gathered, passion-strong, Sweep down the fragile barriers and bear my soul along. Above a hushed but breathing calm, dream-voices call to me. The spirit-love that Sappho sang beside the Grecian sea, The pang of Dante ' s ecstasy and Petrarch ' s grief divine Are risen from their buried hearts to fill the cup of mine. O loves of vanished centuries, who come all rapture-white To bend the shadows of your eyes above me in the night, Our souls are one, — and from your lips I drink my glorious fate : To Love ' s high heritage of woe thee, too, we consecrate ! Edith De Blois Laskey. fins Soiitu e An altar I would build to solitude, The wide-spread silence and sublime repose The restless human heart so seldom knows; Measureless stillness, restful quietude, The perfect mystery and subtle thrill Of life alone, with nature hushed and still. I shall not build it on the desert shore, Where with vain thunderings the wild sea raves In awful turmoil, piling heaving waves That break and foam with loud-resounding roar. In those deep chords whose echoes never cease My listening heart can catch no note of peace. Nor in half-lighted forest, cool and deep, Where flickering leaves weave magic webs of shade And plaintive melodies by winds are made As o ' er the solemn pines they softly creep. In those elusive tones my restless mood Finds not the peace of perfect quietude. Far on the prairie, tranquil, hushed and calm, Where golden light all soft and tender lies On fields of grain stretching to meet the skies, Touched by a deep, compelling, magic charm, There in unbroken, restful quietude My altar I will raise to solitude.

The quaint, dull tapestries and carven wood Were burnished with the sunset ' s ruddy gold ; And there I saw my true love ' s broideries Unfinished, and her sweet-toned lute unstrung, And careless laid upon the window-seat, Where she had left it with a song unsung. Then through the oriel a little breeze From the rose gardens wafted me a breath Of summer ' s fragrance , such as she herself Had hoped to breathe in heaven — after death. And my true love, my own dear love, was gone ; Yet without tears I went into that place Where last I looked on her — I could not mourn, Remembering the smile upon her face. Ethel Barstow Howard. Ube flJloon 5prtte I dwell in the hardened hollows Of many a barren slope, Where beams of light their jagged way Among the crannies grope. I roam over meadows verdureless, And lifeless vales so still That ne ' er an echo breathes its voice From soundless hill to hill. I dip in the Sea of Vapors ; I bathe in the Sea of Clouds ; I sink to rest in the Lake of Dreams, Which slumbering mist enshrouds. My food is a nectar tasted not By any earthly bees; My cup the flower of a fossil plant By the banks of sandless seas. I crouch on the sunlight margin Of the old moon ' s shrinking horn, Until the light-bearing beam has left My world in dark forlorn. I drive in my elfin chariot Amidst the night ' s wild charms ; And I rock in the curving crescent Of the new moon ' s cradling arms. My work is a merry idling, Which is but a part of my play ; I am free alike in labor and sport, Alone all the changing day. My world is a world of mystery, And Death has veiled its past, — Yet I love the tinted shadow-lands That shall be my grave at last.

Let them call us naughty ones Naughty ones, naughty ones. The next ones will be naughty too, Naughty, naughty two! Tune — Johnny, Get your Gun. — Continued. Just take the ball Take the ball, ball, ball, ball. Just take the ball Take the ball, 1901. Do your best And show how you can play. Do your level best And we ' ll win the day ! Just take the ball Take the ball, ball, ball, ball. Just take the ball, Take the ball, 1901. Air — Johnny comes marching home. When the ball ' s thrown in it may be caught, For who knows? who knows? By Naughty One or by Naughty Naught. But suppose, suppose That Barrett or Ainsley or Emerson Or Garrison gets it, the game ' s most won, For it ' s played in a way that would take the bun Till into our basket it goes ! Should the Soph ' mores catch it as pr ' aps they may, Who knows? who knows? ' Twill go to their basket — or that ' s what they Suppose, suppose. But the Twins and the Captain have lots of sand, As the Soph ' mores quickly must understand, So the ball goes flying from hand to hand, Till into our basket it goes ! When the ball goes over the Freshman line. We suppose, suppose The Sophomore guard work will be fine; Who knows? who knows? But when Kitchell or Wilder or Sheldon take hold, The blood of the Soph ' mores may well run cold, For with quickness and ease that can scarce b e told The ball in our basket goes ! Sonos for BasfteUball (Barnes ano IRalltes — Goncluoeo Air — The Man that broke the Bank at Monte Carlo. As through the campus walks we stroll. With an independent air, You can hear them all declare, Both grads. and maidens fair, There goes the class that none surpass, Would we were such as they, alas! The great and glorious class of uineteen-oue. In the days to come, as girls of Smith, We are sure our fame will rise, And our class to none ' s surprise Be exalted to the skies. For in Mathematics and classic speech, Or in Literature there ' s none can reach The great and glorious class of nineteen-one. We will while away the golden years Till our days of toil are o ' er, Aud with minds replets with lore, We ' ll in college be no more, But with delight unfold the white and gold, While all admiring eyes behold The great and glorious class of nineteen-one. Tune — Rig-a-jig-jig. We ' re hear to praise our country ' s dad, George Washington, George Washington, And while we ' re about it we ' d like to add A word for 1901. We ' re fine, you see, And so is he, A glorious class and a great countree, Then give three cheers and three times th ree For him and 1901. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah ! Hooray, hooray, hooray, hooray ! Then give three cheers and three times three For him and 1901. Those Juniors there, they think they ' re some, But you shall see, but you shall see That here ' s a class to make things hum, And that is 1903. To Alma Mater and Washington and 1903 and 1901. We ' ll end our song as we ' ve begun, With cheers for 1901. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah, hurrah ! Hooray, hooray hooray, hooray! Then give three cheers and three times three For them and 1901. Here ' s to you, 1903! Here ' s to you, our warmest friends ! And we ' ll sing before this care forsaken company We ' ll sing before we part — Here ' s to you 1903. Tune — K.H Green ' s Cake Walk. Down in the gym there ' s a mighty crowd assem- blin ' , All the apparatus is a creakin and a tremblin ' , What ' s goin ' on? Go ask John, Quick ! for the ra!ly has begun. Seniors and Juniors, they have done some singin ' , Soon the little Freshmen they will be beginnin ' . Students all, Great and small, Listen now to 1901. See how the President looks with pride upon us. See how the Faculty loads us down with h nors — Ninety-nine Class so fine Sings of 1901 afar. Come now ye Sophomores, fling on high our color, Whose flaming brilliancy makes the others dul- ler. Raise your song Loud and long, Hoo rah. Chorus. — Vic are the people of Smith College- college, Come to sing the praise of Washing- ton. We represent tremendous knowledge — knowledge We ' re excelled by none. We swing aloft the green and yellow — yellow, Banner brighter than the golden sun, Long shall the universe re-tell oh! tell oh! Praise of 1901. Tune — My Bonnie. Dear Prexie sailed over the waters, Dear Prexie sailed over the seas. Dear Prexie sailed over the waters, Oh send back our President, please. Send us back, oh, send us back, Just send back our President, please, oh, please, Send us back, oh, send us back, Send back our dear President, please. He said in a few weeks he ' d come back, In a few weeks he said he ' d return, He said in a few weeks he ' d come back, And patience ' s a hard thing to learn, Come back, oh, come back. Come back to us, Prexie, come soon, come soon, Oh, come back, please come back, We must have you here before June. Tune — Spring would be but dreary. Wonder of Smith College now — is the class of nineteen — One — der of Smith College now — is the class of nineteen-one. (Repeat ad libitum.) 3obn The little timid freshmen they come up here to college To work awhile most awful hard and get a lot of knowledge. And they don ' t like it much at first, They sob and cry all day, And when at night they want to work Some sophomore ' s sure to say — There ' s a man on the campus awandering about And he will report you If you don ' t watch out. They think it ' s pretty hard, I guess, but they don ' t understand That the college couldn ' t run at all without John ' s helping hand. They think he ' s just a tattle-tale, crazy little chicks, They ' ll understand ' fore very long, that John ' s a brick of bricks. But he ' s out on the campus awandering about, And he will report you If you don ' t watch out. Now our good class and our good John they know each other well ; Each knows the other through and through is grand as tongue can tell. And pretty sad it makes us both to think we have to part, We just have time to tell the girls before we have to start, That ' s a friend on the campus awandering about, But he will report you If you don ' t watch out.

Students ' Popular Store. O become successful in any business or profession one must combine keen perception, adaptability, and application. The selection once made, all effort must be in that direction. SMITH COLLEGE has reached the present high plane through the united efforts of the Student body, Instructors, and Pres. L. Clark Seelye, who, by his tireless energy and con- centration, has placed this Institution in the front rank of women ' s colleges. The influence of such a place of learning is world-wide, and successive generations are moulded by it. In a large measure the mind of women governs the world; and, that her influ- ence may be exerted in the right direction, she must have a full rounded education, and such SMITH COLLEGE strives to impart. Not only has the College contributed to the higher education of women, but it has developed the commercial life -of the city and broadened the lives of our Citizens. Our share of College trade has not been a meagre one. Our business has increased remarkably from year to year. We are now occupying over fifty thousand square feet of floor space, and during the past year have added several New Departments. We buy in large quantities, which allows us to sell at the lowest possi- ble prices. We believe that plain thinking and square dealing will prove successful in business. Thanking you all for past favors, we would respectfully solicit a continuation of your patronage. cA. McCALLUM CO. jflDonoGrams. Crests. F. w.

The Many Advantages of Trading at This Store are Apparent to Every Student of Smith. The completeness, excellence and variety of its stocks, attractiveness of its Springfield location, its appoint- ments, genuine worth of its values, and its liberal policy with regard to exchanging or taking back any unsatisfac- tory thing appeals to all. Just a word as to its low price no discount system. Here again it proves its superiority. A store conducted as this one is on the policy that a nimble sixpence is better than a slow shillin ' charges only a fair profit on its goods, thus extending its low price favors to every purchaser alike. Other stores can give a discount of 10, 20 or 25 per cent. — according to their customer — and still get a higher price than this one with its low price no discount system is allowed to charge. Apropos of this question, we should like a fair test made. We invite the attention of Smith students to the prices of our high-class attractions in Summer Millinery.
