JOHN'S nearly to the close of the,one-hun- dred and ninety-ninth year of the in- stitution's existence, and that we must take up our editorial quill and make therewith our little valedictory. Others before us have vacated the chair, some with sad words of part- ing, others with joy for a freedom gained-our's must be one of mingl- ed gladness and regret. We shall- not, in our closing columns, attempt to explain why the COLLEGIAN has not done what it anticipated, we leave that to our kind readers. Our errors have been manifold and our feelings great in number, but we ask for com- passion for these, our many short- coniings. Our experiences as college editors have been of a most pleasant sort, and we realize that the most joyous phase of college life is draw- ing to an end. We have endeavored to make the COLLTEGIAN an impetus to healthy college spirit and enthusiasm and a means for the cultivation of the stud- ent's powers. Our criticisms upon some of the most prominent college reforms have been given in a spirit looking to the betterment of the ad- vantages of St. Johnis. lt cannot be denied and the student of years to come will find that some of these must be recognized for the good of education. To the editors of the class of '96, into whose hands we give this prec- ious charge of our Alma Mater, to them we must express our best wishes for their success. live know the-ni to be men of earnest purpose and great Capacity, and we shall he-pe to see 9 COLLEGIAN. . I emanate from their combined efforts a better paper than any of its prede- cessors. 'Stern purpose and constant application will -enable them to ac'- complish much more than we have done. So may success be .theirs and their success that of St. Jrohn's. ,May their misgivings and trials be not so great as ours, who now abandon those cherished desires and all that might have been, and as gracefully as pos- sible-now step down and out. i We would take this last opportun- ity to urge from our lowly, station, that new effort be made to rapidly in-. crease the endowment fund of the college. At its inception the pros- pects for a large fund were very great. No' one can, for a moment, doubt or deny the claims of St. John's' for aid in her upbuilding, Standing as she does, the descendent of the iirst free school on the North American Continent, the sturdy spirit of sound education then im- bued, has remained with her to this day. With a curriculum well wor- thy of her history and position she merits the earnest support of all promoters of education. A glance over the long list of her departed sons, suffices to reveal the good she has done the commonwealth by training and lnstillinginto the minds and hearts of the illustrious sons of Maryland and thenation that received their education within her walls, principles of justice, honor and patriotism for their guidance in the adairs of state.

JOHN'S COLLEGIAN. 208 sicians of fame have graced her his-I tory, and surely the memory of these should he an incentive to help her aggrandizement. ' A -There are today in the ranks of her living alumni, men of state and nat- ional reputation and influence. It is for them now to rally to the aid of their mother, it is for them to band .together and by a strong united effort lift her to a higher and more pros- perous position. She is prospering now, but how much more can that prosperity be increased by the help of her influential sons. Let them come forward now and help swell the endowment fund to great propor- tions, not only from their own means, but by securing the interest and aid of philanthropic educationalists. Despite all the adverse comments made upon the conduct of the college students, a mass, and notwithstand- ing the fact that there may exist in many instances much that contains elements that should be excluded from the student's life, there are yet undoubted advantages, and some ad- vantage as is seldomed considered in the present system of college life, that commends itself to all good thinkers. This is leaving out of the question all effects or benefits derived from the portion of the prescribed curriculum pu1'sued. It is as much in the rough and tumble push of college life, the con- tact with men of many minds, the viewing of the busy world as from afar, the intermingling in societies, - n 1 1 fraternites and all other organizations that are essential to the perfect whole of the modern institutions, it is in these that more of practical .knowl- edge, more ofcommon sense doctrine, and more of the training of charac- ter, is brought out, fostered and en- couraged, We may say that all such outside affairs have but a tendency to direct the attention of the student to more frivilous things and distract him from those for the cultivation of which he comes to colleges. But can we say thatsiich is the intention and purpose of a college education ? Gan we say that the literary organi- Zations, in which are developed the innate genius, and the class-room principles put into argumentative shape, can we say that they are not excellent branches of liberal educa- tion ? Or are those contests in which the physical man seems to 'play the most important part-foot-ball, base- ball, etc.-are they unprofitable parts of the educational make-up? 'Itis claimed, because some few wild, un- tamed sports make manifestations at these games and act in a seemingly disgraceful manner, that the extent and number of such contests should be limited, if not altogether stopped, as tending to the detriment of good education. Such argument eannot hold 5 for these few boisterous so'- called students are bound to find some way in which to give vent to their inclinations, under any circum- stances, good or bad, 'favorable or unfavorable.

If theugeneral effect is what is desired, then we cannot com- plain of inef'iiciencies.' The broad, liberal educational plan embraces manylelements, of all characters, all, however, rounding into the symme- trical whole, by which practical learning is promulgated and soithd principles instilled. d il - - 5 A QT .fqfibgn sv N, ' Q I s- A i cl H 5 'l M .., e ' ous nneusnio. Ours is a great republicy We stand today at the openiungof the fifth century of the discovery of this country and the second of its inde- pendence. Our history spans a course of years, characterized by numerous and varied events. We are a nation among nations whose destiny seems not to be liniitedby- Ti'me's changing cycles, andwliose glory and advance- ment in the scale of cirilization, erer-refulgent,shed a lustre on the great conxinonweiltli ot ll'illil'lll ' 1 -.,..

Our republic is not one of the ine- teor hind, which rises to an exalted plane of eminence, -and, then as if unforseen. falls to the ignominous plane of ilisintfj-gi'ation and oblivion, whose existence is niarlied only by a few paltry contributions to history N o! Ours ,is a republic, whirchp thought young, is founded on the ex- perience of ages, is built up by the 'sacriiice of inartyred sons and estaba lished by the deeds of heroes and by the institutions of statesmen. The 'republican form of govern- ment of these United States is an ex- periment, an outcome of that liberty loving spirit which inspired and was a characteristic of our ancient fore- fathers, the Teutons. This experi- ment, let me say, is one to be emulat- ed by all the nations of the globe. It has withstood and will withstand the deep probings and fearful onsets of demagogues and of advocates of other forms of government. It is a government 'of the. people, for the people and by the people. Has not this the intention of the framers of -our constitution,--statesmen who would grace the halls of any legisla- tive assembly? d Our constitution was not the pro- duct of a few hours consideration. It was adopted and ratified after weeks and months of ceaseless debates and discussions, and it bears the impress of a calm, thoughtful and i.mparti'al deliberation. The constitution is a wonderful invention of human in- tegrity. lt is the embodiment- of principles never before conceived' by human intellect, nor never before put into execution by any form of gov- ernment. .Althou gh, in a certain sense, we are indebted to the nations of antiquity for our plan, yet. it re- mained for us to set the example, and place the machinery of a repre- sentative government in operation.. - L J 'Y 1 . x . , l 3 5 x 5 K+ 1 ix 1 N S 's 3, i 5311, in -5' - D -. .

Yet, it is a tried. and proved fact. What was our late civil war but a clamor for state sover- eignty ? What was the cause of their rebellion but some measure in the constitution, repugnant to their sense of state rights? c Again, what was the remedy but the final return of the states into the Union and their approval and adoption of the consti- tution in its integrity ? Yes, we may Ermly, unconscientiou sly and undeni- ably say that our federal government, with its written constitution, is all powerful, never to belaid aside with impunity so long, ass this great re- public exists. , I Our republic stands as an object of admiration to other nations of the globe. England, our former oppres- sor and persecutor, in the seclusion and isolation of her island home, looks with pride on her daughter of the west, France, our ally in time of distress, has experienced the whole- some intluences of a republican form of government, and has followed the precedent set by our favored com- mon weal th. The empires and monar- chies of the east, whose forms of government transmitted from genera- tion to generation and strengthened by the nonsensical superstition of ages, may well indeed bow their heads in humble adoration to the glourious republic of the west. Greece the land of poets and phil- osophers, by the daring and bravery of her loyal sons, rose to an eminent position in the history of nations. But Greece rose to fall. She, intoxi- cated by her own success and glorying in her own power, essayed impossible undertakings, until Home seizepl ?T.n-1 upon her vitals and ROlllG7S sive rule destroyed every vestige of her former greatness. Home the 'tqueen of cities and arbiter of her age, proud in her maj es- tic beauty and insolent in her trans- cendent power, ,rose to fall. Her le- gions planted her standards in the most distant climes and snatched victory after victory from the very jaws of her enemies, until the eastern hordes swept down on her like an avalanche and corruption sapped away the essence of life. Shall it be so with our grand stable and untaint- ed republic? May heaven forbid! Grave problems confront us at the present time, problems w.hose solution remains the duty of the present gen- eration-problems of finance, of taxes of conflicts between capital' and labor A--such are the questions demanding immediate solution, an almost super- human taslr for one generation to ef- fectuate, Yet, they must, be solved. Upon their right and just solution dependsthe destiny of our boasted nation. How shallthey be solved? How, indeed, was our republican form of government established and and made to be a bulwark against the attacks and ravages of Time? How have we attained Hnally to such a plane of development and progress? 211 ST. JOI-IN'S COLLEGIAN., y . Justin such a manner and by j'uSt such a rare combination of tact .and skill, with one valuable exception, that of the experience of ages, shall our present questions he deciphered. By rending the veil of Time and piercing, the gloom of the future, what do we behold? Are we, the de- scendants of those noble fonndersof our republic to fail in our duty, hum- ble though it may be, to their sacred seas -'Are we to slacken the reins of government and let the ship of State sail on in a reckless course, until sure and certain of it will be, she' shall strike .upon one of the num- berless rocks of demagoguerv and-an overwlielininge destruction seal her eternal fate? It is for us to deter? niine our destiny, how it shall be? It remains for us to say whether as a nation we shall stand or as a sem- blance of a nation we shall ignomi- niously fall. l 5 4.5.43 l , 'ruin msn or run ennnan' rnirinn. M At the time of the French revolu- tion, Gerinany occupied large ten of territory in central Europe. It was divided into some three hundred states, whieli,'witli two or three ex- ceptions,were small and insignilieant, each having its own petty army and its own ruler whose power was abso- lute. lt is true 'there existed' a shadow of a union biniiing the states together, but it Q was an empire in name only. At the hands of Napoleon, Ger- many suffered deeply. The number 1 .. 3. L gb' of states 'was decreased to most of which were united nndergtlie Rhine Confederation, and ruled bya relation -of the conqueror, Prussia fared but .little better. However, she was left intact, as he believed that a great neutral power in central Enropewould afford France the best protection against an -invasion Russia. In the first coalition formed against the Emperor, Prussia acted iuga hesitating and undecided man- ner, and at last decided to remain neutral. . But the indignities to which Napoleon subjected her soon drove her to War. Alas! She had taken up arms' too late, for, she now was compelled to fight alone, as the armies of the coalition were irre- trievabl y scattered on the memorable lieldrof Austerlitz., 'At Jena and Auerstadt her armies miserably com- manded, were surprised by the French and hopelessly defeated. So utterly broken was her strength that for seven years she occupied no' higher position than that of a subjugated and tributary country. By the close of the Napoleonic wars many of the smaller states lying along the Rhine had virtually become a part' of France. l ' The allied solvereigns comprising the Congress of Vienna, failed to realize the great influence that the Emperor had upon the people, they did not feel that he had given to the human mind an impulse it could never lose, that absolute despotism was doomed to swift decay. They ignored the changes that were I K4 I 'X ST. Jornvfs COLLEGIAN. . 212 .wrought by the tide of French inva- sion, which had rolled over Germany for a quarter of a century, and aimed to reconstruct it as nearly as possi- ble like it was before the revolution. Germany was now but an incoher- ing multitude of independent states, for the old combination under the Emperor who was supposed to repre- sent the Geesars, was dashed to pieces by Napoleon, who substituted the confederation of the Rhine to parti- ally fill its place, but this fell with its author. y The Congress of Vienna organized the German states into one great con- federation with Austria at its head. Each State sent its representatives to the diet which met at Frankfort. The principal objects of this diet were to preserve 'the internal peace and to protect Germany against for- eign invasion. For ages Austria had been supreme in Germany, and had treated Prussia with the scant courtesy generally due an inferior. But Prussia-compact, wisely governed and in the enjoyment of a long and prosperous peace-in- creased rapidly in power, while Aus- tria, taxed with widely separated and dissatisfied provinces, wasted by ex- pensive wars, and hindered in her progress by an incompetent govern- ment, was gradually dwindlingaway. Prussia now began to aspire to the supremacy. For a while the trouble was averted by skillful diplomacy, but it was obvious that the solution of the question by the sword was in- evitable. While the quarrel was some distance from its culmination, Prussia was able to draw Austria into an alliance to wrest from Denmark the duchies of Schleswig and Hol- stein. The booty was easily obtain- ed, but its distribution widened still more the breach between the two jealous powers. By 1866 Prussia had completed the reorganization of her army. War was declared June 17th, and the Prussians under Gen. Von Moltke invaded Bohemia. The Austrians fought bravely against her invaders but were worsted in all the prelimi- nary combats and finally received a bloody and crushing defeat at Sado- wa. Only seven weeks after the de- claration of war the treaty of peace was signed. The power of Austria was completely broken. She was compelled to withdraw from the con- federation and allow a new organi- zation of Germany with Prussia at its head. - Beyond-the Rhine, however, France regarded the aggrandizement of Prus- sia with an evil eye. For centuries France had been a most undesirable neighbor to Germany. It had always been her policy to weaken and repress the loosely knit confederation of Germany. For fifty years after the fall of the great conqueror 'she was free from French aggression. But with the- signal defeat of Austria and the close union of Northern Ger- nianv, it was clearly seen that the southern states would soon join also a.nd there would be formed a power that would threaten the supremacy of France in Central Europe. str Jonns COLLEGIAN T '-France was now- governed' by a nephew of the great Emperor, but like his ancestor he --was too fond of personal glory.

The two great classic periods in her history produced iniperishable names, and shed lustre oyer the lit- erature of the World. There is a Ger- man Iliad, .the'Nibelungen-Lied, and a German Odyssy, the Grudrun-Lied. In the novel alone is' she decient, eyery other department she has mast- ered and enriched. She 'has con- tributed her share to the Worldis his- torians and philosophers,'men of pro- found and logical intellect, and the author of Faust is HOH16l',S greatest rival. ' .The positions of Heinrich Heine, among German poets is unique. Men ef such brilliant and somewhat er- ratic genius are rare, and Well repay a study of -the influences that mould- ed their career. Outside his native land, in France, Russia and Italy, the irorlfas of Heine are receiving more consideration than is' generally sup- posed. They have been translated ST JOHN S into English, but no translation can do him justice. To be appreciated they must be read in the original, where the full charm of the verse can appeal to the reader. Heine possessed the lyrical faculty COLLEGIAN also knew the outside world with itS foibles and insincerity. The pas- sionate predominated, and he gave fierce outcries to the emotions that stirred his ardent nature. He com bined the dual character of Faust H. 214. in an intense degree, and stands the foremost lyric poet of Germany. His lyrics are sweetly musical, but often marred by their ironical tone. His ballads are popular and his prose strong and vigorous. His later works, 'fGods in Exile, 'fAtta Troll and Romancero, reveal his true poetic stature. 'Here there is har- mony oflthe conflicting traits .that ruled his imagination. These are aesthetical, not ethical, and to be enjoyed must be approached with the mind fully prepared to bend to the rapid changes and brilliant transi- tions of his verse. True he mocks, lltughs, and derides, but he thrills us with forbidden pleasures. We quaff the sweetness of stolen waters. We are concerned with him as an individual. Only by studying his personality can we understand his dual nature, and account for his seeming eccentricities. Heine,s na- ture was emotional and passionate, which fired his fancy to give utterance to ideas and truths that the more composed and intellectually balanced Goethe did not feel. He did this at the expense of that sanity and unity which characterizes the earlier and greater poet. Besides this, he had a cool and calm faculty of judgment. .He was acquainted with the world of the spirit, purity and faith, but he and Mephistoles, and was unable to entirely disassociate the two. He de- lighted to unite the purest pathos with the most repulsive incidents, and to encircle low vulgarities with the most brilliant flashes of political fancy. a It would naturally be supposed that these opposite tendencies of his imagination would have neutralized each other, but this was not the case. And it is here that Heine's genius displays itself in rising above obsta- cles, that would ordinarily destroy, on the one hand, keen humor and a Bohemian caste of character, on the other, pure feeling and lofty aspira- tions. We sometimes see a minglingof lamentation and mockery, in which he confesses that his soul has been torn, and his li fe.-blasted, but on the whole his works are singularly free from allusions to himself-quite the opposite from what we should expect from one of his temperament,when we recall to mind the universe filled with the scoffs, sncers and fancied woes of Lord Byron. But here it must be borne in mind that Heine, although he sneered and satirized, was not a pessimist, and misanthropy did not cause him to lose 'faith in' mankind, but he only ridiculed that he might lead men to the consummation of his 215 's'r. Joiuixrs CQLLEGIAN. U ideal, a purely spiritual' state, where. the bickerings of the real world should beforgotten in peace, affec- tion.. and purity. However much he himself might bedisqualified from participating. inlthis Elysian bliss is not pertinent to the subject. Heine united in his character something of the demon with the nobility of a god, and it is not for us to condemn a nat- ural predfection which he seemed un- able to overcome. We should rather forget failings, and generously pour out our sympathy when we think of an ardent nature like his own blight- ed by .hopeless and unrequited love. The literary iniiuence of the mid- dle ages exerted itself upon Heine. His impressible naturelwas readily receptive to its charm, and it became a bountiful source of many -of his noblest efforts. He -matured in the Romantic school and became one of as inert faithful disciples. Hispmisa was stored with myths, legends and superstitious, and with artful skill he reproduced its subtle and pleasing effects. He was perhaps the highest ideal of the Romantic school, and his free, daring' fancy, luxuriant imagi- nation, suggestive humoii, and bi-ting irony, fulfilled the most exacting re- quirements of the critical Schlegees. In politics Heine was an 'uncom- promising Liberal, and desirous of a kingdom of intellectual joy. As a member of the Romantic school he had thoroughly grasped the spirit of medimval institutions, and he viewed the political problems of his day with the convictions of the past. Germany had been prosperous under .that with a restoration of their o the old order, and Heine government, would come a revital prosperity. But he was thorou hl impractical. The men who. were work the changehad never received political training, were ignorant of business, only acquainted with art and literature, and 'it is' nogsmallt wpnder thatthe scheme was a disas- trous failure. In his political view Heinewas true to his Jewish an try and their traditions. The pcm of the middle ages appealed strongly to him, and in his Hebrew inclina- tions may be found muchfthat iniiu- enced his entire life. Heine lived in an age of intellec- tual ferment, tossed on .the tempest- uous seas of controversy, sweptzalong by the current of life and action. German life was thrilled to its very 'center with higher spiritual ideals, nobler aspirations and generous sen- tirnents. Heine voiced' the popular ideas. This boisterous life was nec- essary to the development of his gen- ius. Had he retired to the cloister and cultivated a scepticism the world would perhaps have never heard of Heinrich Heine, the poet. This would have suited the calm nature of Goethe, but if Heine had been hap- pier and less human it is doubtful if he had sung. Perhaps the aims of his intense belief were not' accom- plished, perhaps those illusions that restlessly drove him onward have vanished, perhaps the German people were too sober, and too little imagi- native, to be other than- temporarily keyed up to that groping after im- ' ST. JOHN'S GOLLEGIAN. 216 possible ideals, but Heine's claims to immortality rest on the fact that he completely reflected the spiritual age in which he lived and had his being, and of which he was the legitimate offspring. S. M. WOLFINGER. LOGKSLY HALL. In the course oflife our minds are oftentimes carried back to some period of our existence which seems to have for so a peculiar si gnilicance, whether it be on account of some marked success or failure, or on account of some deep affliction or sorrow. The event, whatever it may be, leaves a deep impression on our minds, and often the most trivial occurence is sufficient to cause a rush of thoughts and feelings over the occurrences of that particular time and occasion. Locksley Hall is the product of such a recollection of long past scenes and experiences, and as our first im- pressions generally count a great deal our attention is at once attracted and our sympathy enlisted by the manner in which the poem com- mences. We are so impressed with the solem nity of the occasion of the visit by Tennyson to the home of his earlier years, we feel this desire to be alone on that occasion so natural, and the influence of memories, tender or sorrowful an agency, in the overflow of feelings in words, that at once we feel that there is strong reason for inspiration' in the poem. We can easily put ourselves in the poets place, and in the dim light of early morning see in the distance Locksley Hall, gloomy and fraught with recollection overlooking the ocean where once the lovers were want to stroll, and amid the awe and stillness of that quiet hour, moved to silent meditations by the gentle rustle of leaves of overhead, there comes to us A feeling of sadness and longing That is not akin to pain, And resembles so rrow only As the mist resembles the rain. The sentiment of the poem is this, Tennyson had fallen in love with his cousin, and was betrothed to her when an unworthy suitor wins her affection, and marries her. The poets disappointment and vexation breaks- forth in scathing rebuke at the fickle- ness of heart, and in protest against social inducements to dissipation and immorality., He reviews the hopes and aspirations of his youth at the time when he was filled with ambi- tion to search deep into the mysteries of nations, forseeing wars and deso- lation, yet feeling that these would finally be ended by an united brother- hood, 'fthe Federation of the world. He yearns to drawn his emotions by a return to these reflections, yet even here there is a strain of despair for the world of knoledwge is so exten- sive that the individual is overawed with the contemplation thereof, and the little of wisdom which he has gained by experience is fraught with sadness. But, thinks he, is it not better to secure oblivion of past sor- row bv deserting civilization, and in the wilds of nature crush out all ac- 217 sr. JOHN'S GOLLEGLAN. tivity of mind? This question is- soon answered. The mere considera-. . U POLITIQS' j tion of ,such a question is sufficient to make him revolt at the idea. The times are too advanced, inature too precious, to be lost on an untutored intellect, and immediately throwing aside those feelings which can have bitter fruit, he .preceives that there is indeed yet a goal to be reached worthy of his care and diligence. v The most 'prominent figure of speech in '4Locksley Halli' is the metaphor which is especially expressive in the lines, j Foret'ook up the glass of Time, and turned it in his glowing hands, h Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands. We also see word-painting in the word glowing,i' which, strained' from its ordinary rise, expresses the radiant bliss of true love. 1 Again, we notice how impressive the unfaithful-. ness of his betrothed is made byifirst telling of the happy season of court- ship, and then, in an exclamatory sentence, abruptly announcing her infidelity and his shattered hopes. Q Taking the poem as a whole, we may see points of similarity between it and ln hl6l'l101'l5Ll'1l.,, Both eX- press change of thought or purpose by means of question and answer, both begin sorrowfully, and little by little light seems to dawn upon the afliieted oneg and in both itis clearly indicated that sorrow should not be permitted to gain mastery over our better feelings, but that Men should rise on stepping stones Of their dead selves, to higher things.

Spenser ii rsti appears in .politicsas secretary to Lord Grey in Ireland. He had received his niaster's degree at Cambridge only a short time prel vious to -accepting this position. While here he learned great deal about the Irish which he afterwards embodied in a work. Lord Grey was recalled in 15821 and Spenser re- turned to England with liirn. , Here he remained three years. L n Spencer was full of the chivalry 'of that gallant age and lost no opporf tnnity of flattering the queen. He obtained her favor and was granted a large estate in the county Cork. By the terms ofthe gra.nt he was compelled to live there, and he start- ed at once to take possession.. i Spenser spent a few years of His life here must have been lo bu t, the opportunity being ilp1'esented,.Q.pi. he went to work and prodncetd.th1'eeQQ A books of the Faery Queene. it .H V During the troublous times of the 4.

The paper contains some merit as a political production, .but would never reveal a poet, containing no- more than would be expected of an ordinary ofiicer. The View I he 'takes of the then existing. state of affairs, and the measures he- 'advises niightseeni to' us at iirst not worthy of Spenser, and entirely out of keep- ing, withithe enlightened Views he holds concerning persecution in the Faery Queene. The Irish were a very repulsive people at that time lieing little more than savages. This 7 9 added to a difference of religion, a. .feeling of superiority of the oppres- sors over their victims, who were continually rising at inopportune times, thus fastening their yokes more secure, will perhaps cause us to judge Spenser less harshly, It seems- unjust that the author of the Faery Queene should spend' his best days in such loneliness in- Ire-Q land, and have his life worn out be- fore he could complete his greatest work.

Spenser may have chosen this kind of life, and it is not unlikely he was forced to it, for financial reasons. Spenser did not appear to enjoy thoroughly the gay life of the times, he liked better the quiet life and beautiful scenery of Kilcolman castle. Whenever he went to England to attend to the sale of books, he always returned after a short stay. He had many friends but only a few were intimate ones, and he did not seem to suffer by the ab- sence of social pleasures. - Spenser must have been a typical Englishman of the time. At any rate he was hated by the Irish who found at last revenge. They were goaded to desperation by the injus- tice of England and attacked Spen- ser'ig house. He escaped, but an in- fant child perished in the flames. Spencsr returned brokenhearted to England and died within three months. By serving his country in arms, which many could have done as well, he never completed the Eaery Queene, which he alone could have done. C. JARBOE. ...-... 3.-A-K.

We are sorry to say that artillery tactics have practically been abandoned. We are sorry, not so much on account of the artillery drill as for the fact that we have no way to appropriately celebrate victor- ies. Time was when' every victory in foot-ball and base-ball was made the subject of a 4th of July celebration, but now, owing to the absence of the cannon, such a thing is an impossi- bility. One celebration we distinct- ly remember, that on the occasion of the victorious Southern trip of the foot-ball team in '9O. Our worthy President, in endeavoring to put a stop to the exhibition, became him- self considerably mixed up in the pyrotechnics. On that same occa- sion the gunner unwilling to lose a charge of powder by the President's interference, fired the cannon with the lin-rod sticking in it, where the assistant gunner had leftit upon notice of the President's arrival. The lin-rod sped through two fences, knocked the bark oif a tree and lin- ally buried itself in the earth. It was a short time after this celebra- .-.Q 221 I str.

It is a long and glorious list to ponder over and our heart swells with pride and love for old St. JOl1117S as we linger over each naine. Howe ver, we propose here to reproduce simply a little of the life history of him who holds the honor- ed position of the oldest of the living of the alumni of St. Jolinis. Some days in fine weather we may see a venerable form moving slowly on the streets of the ancient town.- Uuriosity at once lills us as we 'be- hold his interesting countenance and we inquire who this kindly old gen- tleman may be, we are told that he is William Howard, who heads the living list of the sons of St. John's. Born December 24, 1809, he early began his connection with the history of the institution. I-Ie was gradua- ted in 1827, with the degree of B. A., and with the lirst honors of his class. He was also captain of the military COLLEGIAN. y company at the college. ' After uation he studied law-under der Contee Magruder, and a Wasi-ad? mitted tothe bar. He scion after abandoned the lawiinnorderi to 'dt' himselfifor teaching, and 'soon after 'heuwas honored by his Alma Mater with -the M. IA. degree- In 18-'73 he was elected one of the Board of Visitors and Governors,-of the college, and was for a while secretary of that body. He still continues his great -interest in the ,college by serving as a member of the board. In his 'fRe- ininiscences of -old St. -John's, in the f'St. .Iohn's Bookf' compiled by President Thomas Fell in 1893, and from which we quote, by permission, give us some interesting data re- lating to the early events in connec- tion vvith the college.

We have received information of the sudden y death of Edward A. Welch, eldest son of Dr. Albert G. Welch of this county which took place a few days ago in Fluvanna county, Va., where he resided. He was about iifty-eight years old. He was a graduate of St. John's College in the class of '55. At the breaking out of the late war, he Went South with a number of young men from this city and joined the Confederacy, and was la corporal in company C Second Maryland Infantry, in which he distinguished himself as one of the bravest'of'dcers of the war. He leaves several relatives in Annapolis. Among the visitors to the college in the past month. was Mr. John H. Waller, ,93 of Salisbury Md. Mr. Waller is now successfully pursuing the practice of the legal profession. Q f. - - v.- the session of 94 5 by our foot ball and base-ball teams, and we may say with pardonable pride, that, consid- ering the disadvantages under which the Athletic Association has labored, our men have done work equal to any and second to none. Of the iive foot-ball games which we played in '93, we lost but one, and although de- feat in any form is humiliating, yet the fact that our opponents in this game were much older than ourselves and vastly superior in size and prac- tice, forms extenuating circumstan- ces. A Although our base-ball record up to date is not so brilliant as our foot- ball record, at the present writing the season is not over, and it is im- possible to predict the result with accuracy. It is safe to say, however, that we will do our best, and if we do lose any of theseveral remaining games on the schedule, it will not be through any fault of our own.
