CARCELV three years have passed since our institution made its advent into the college world under the new and advanced name of Susquehanna University. It had known but two Junior Classes before ' 98 assumed that dignified title. Early in the beginning of the present school year, the duty of publishing a College Annual forced itself upon our attention. With the spirit that characterizes everything connected with Susquehanna, we decided that it must be done ; but when we should find time for the work was a question not easily solved. In consequence of a somewhat unsettled and changing course, our first term was overcrowded with recitations, so that but little attention could be given to extraneous considerations. However, we selected a name and bravely set to work, determined to snatch odd moments from play and comfort (never from school work) to accomplish our purpose. That we have done so will soon appear; how well, we leave you to judge. We make no apologies. ' Tis true we might have done better, but we desire to leave a margin for succeeding classes to work upon. Had we made it perfection, there would be no incentive to improve, and it would soon fall even from the position to which we might raise it. We have established a precedent, let other classes follow. We chal- lenge our fellow-students, the Sophomores, to rent the sanctum vacated by the staff of ' 98, and beat us if they can. We want to be surpassed. We shall always be proud of any success that may attend Susquehanna and The Lanthorn. Our endeavor has been to chronicle the events of the year in a pleas- ing and attractive manner, and, if possible, to present that side of college life as it exists at Susquehanna University, which catalogues cannot com- pass. Perhaps in some cases we have not been strictly literal ; as it were, we have read between the lines, an accomplishment which certain members of the Junior class possess to a marked degree, and no doubt there are others. We desire to express our gratitude for all outside assistance, in the way of sketches, borrowed jokes, financial aid, etc. Our task is almost finished. With a sigh of relief we lay down the editorial pen and assume duties of a different nature. If we succeed in gaining one good friend for Susquehanna, our labor will not have been in vain. Trusting that such a result may follow, we leave The Lanthorn to the tender (?) mercies of the critics. Respectfully, The Editors. 10 a ■ a . - o-iiu+sLy 5tCHET XY ■% [sMft , MH f r The Board of Directors, OFFICERS. President, D. K. Ramey Altoona, Pa. Vice-President J. H. Weber, D. D . . . .

IE Collegiate Department of Susquehanna University was organ- ized in the fall of 1S58 and went into immediate operation in the basement of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Selins Grove, Pa. , and its existence is largely due to the strong exertions of the people of that place. It has now been conducted in the interest of higher education, under the direction of the Lutheran Church, for thirty - eight scholastic years. Up to the year 1894 the institution had a curricu- lum that prepared for the Junior class of the various colleges of the state. In June, 1894, however, the Board of Directors, after careful deliberation, saw their way clear to extend the courses of this department to those of a full college. Hence they elected two additional professors and college work in all its branches was entered upon August 23, 1894. The writer has not now at his command a full historical record of this department with reference to its principals, professors and students ; nor does the purpose of this sketch call for all these particulars. It will be sufficient to remark that the names of the men in charge of the interests of this department, in the different periods of its history, warrant the belief that the work of educating was conscientiously done. A survey of the results, too, emphasizes this belief. There have been graduated from this department about two hundred young men and women. Many of these have reached positions of marked prominence in church and state. Be- sides these there have been partially educated some thousands of others who have gone into the various vocations of life. The number in connec- tion with the institution during the last twelve years is upward of one thousand. Of the number who have graduated from this deparment, about seven-sixteenths were studying for the ministry. This we believe to be a larger percentage for the sacred office than can be found in any other clas- sical institution of the Lutheran Church. From the above fact it would appear that the tone of the institution has always been decidedly moral and religious. This has been due to sev- eral reasons, prominent among them the work of the Y. M. C. A. and the 14 influence of the Theological Department. The instruction, also, has con- stantly aimed to recognize properly in all things the hand of God. Though the growth of the institution has not been as rapid as it ought to have been, and though it has not received the support that its devotion to the cause of education and Christianity deserved; yet within recent years, very marked strides along the line of progress have been made. In 1S94 the Board of Directors, recognizing that the school had thoroughly outgrown the origi- nal building, determined to erect a new building of modern type to meet these increasing wants. This was done at a cost of over $20,000. In February, 1895, this building ( now known as Gustavus Adolphus Hall) was taken possession of, and in June of the same year, it was dedicated. The old building (Selius Grove Hall) was next remodeled and arranged for students ' dormitories exclusively. Both buildings are heated by steam and are greatly enjoyed both by the Collegiate and Theological students. With these material equipments there came also a need of an increase in the teaching force and at present writing the school has a hard working faculty of seven professors, three instructors, and a teacher of Music and Art. By the efforts of these teachers, five courses of instruction have been arranged and are maintained : the Classical, leading to the degree of B. A. ; the Latin Scientific, leading to the degree of B. S. ; the Normal Course, leading to the degree of B. E. ; the Preparatory Course which fits for col- lege ; and the Theological Course which covers a period of three years. Aiming at a high standard of scholarship, these courses have recently been revised and will doubtless compare favorably with those of the leading colleges of our state. With an increase of advantages in buildings, equipments, and teach- ing force, there has come more than a corresponding increase of students and even now, in certain directions, the school has again outgrown its facilities. But we are glad to say that the school also enjoys a correspond- ingly larger influence, and is regarded with favor by a large number of the most influential Lutheran ministers and laymen of the state. In a general way it may be said that institutions of learning pass through three periods in the experiences of their history : the period of foundation , the period of formation and the period of expansion. With us, the first period was long, required much prayer, great faith, and patient waiting ; the second passed somewhat more rapidly, was more encouraging and appears to be Hearing its end, for already the period of expansion is shading in, the larger needs are thrusting themselves upon ns, are being considered, and, we have reason to believe, will in due time be sup- plied. The necessity of a new Dormitory with provision for the Prepara- 15 tory Department is becoming more apparent every day ; the claims for a Chemical and Physical Laboratory are urging themselves upon us ; there is a strong demand for a first-class, well equipped gymnasium. A move- ment to supply this latter want at a very early date is now assuming shape, and we trust will soon come to a successful issue. Meanwhile let the friends of Susquehanna University study the work done by that institution, examine her needs and see what is their duty in reference to making her future history more glorious. — J.

EFORE beginning to write the history of the Class of ' 97 the historian might well exclaim, — O for a muse of fire that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention, in order that, in recording its deeds he might give due honor to the few mem- bers who have stood together to the end of the course, as well as to those who were with them in the first years of college life. As this is the first Annual edited since our institution became a full- fledged college, it may not be out of order to record the progress and achievements of the class from the first year of its college course. When the Class of ' 97 was ushered into college life four years ago, the institution was yet Missionary Institute. Eleven students composed the Freshman class. Together they pursued the studies prescribed in the curriculum and recited them to the full satisfaction of the professors. During the greater part of the year no special event took place to divert the class from its intellectual progress. All was perfectly tranquil. But it was not always so to remain. As in former years, the Freshmen, now for the last time, had their part to play in the approaching commence- ment. The class, therefore, had occasion to have a number of meetings to arrange a program and to assign to each member his or her part. It was at one of these meetings that an incident occurred which we con- sidered as a great indignity. In order to transact the business of this meeting with as much secrecy as possible, the class convened in one of the society halls. We were confident that here we would not be disturbed. But, alas! When the meeting adjourned we found that a band of eaves- droppers composed of upper classmen and undergraduates had secured the door by means of ropes. Realizing our predicament, we made an at- tempt to free ourselves. The conspirators, who were patiently awaiting results, now raised a yell similar to that of a band of Indians on taking a captive. Then there was an exchange of kindly (?) epithets after which they dispersed. Our respect for the three lady members of the class pre- vented us from resorting to violent means or destruction of property to effect an exit. After being shut in for a few hours, their plaintive appeals 24 from the third story windows reached the ears of one of the professors who came and liberated us in a manner rather unsympathetic, as he did not know the particulars of the situation. The following day not one member appeared for recitation. This was known as the Freshman Strike, which, of course, was a rash act on our part, as in all strikes the strikers are the losers. Nevertheless, when Commencement week came the Freshman Ex- hibition passed off successfully, after which a class banquet was held at the Keystone Hotel. On the morning of Commencement Day we all found that we had passed examinations and were promoted to the Sophomore class. At the opening of the next scholastic year, the class missed three of their former number, which was regretted by all. The class, therefore, began the second year of its career with eight members. There were a number of students who, taking only a partial or a select course, recited with us in a few studies. This, moreover, was the case during the whole course. It was the understanding of the class that they would be graduated at the end of the Sophomore year. But Missionary Institute was now expanded into a college and its name changed to Susquehanna University. The granting of a diploma to those who had completed the studies to the Junior year was, therefore, no longer practicable. This caused dissatisfac- tion on the part of some of the class, two of which left on that account during the last term. But the remaining six were faithful to the end of the year. Although our class was not graduated, we agreed, upon request, to have the usual Sophomore Class exercises and as a reward each received a Certificate of Attainment. And now we proceed to the third year of our history. Still the number grows smaller. One of our former class-mates decided to try his hand at teaching public school ; another entered the Junior Class at Wittenberg College. So there were only three members in the class at the opening of the Junior year. Thus far, too, the advantages of co-edu- cation had been experienced, and enjoyed But now this benefit seemed to be at an end as our lady member had not returned. However, after a few weeks had passed we were delighted to find that she had again decided to join the class. At the opening of the second term an ex-member who on account of home-sickness left the classic halls of a sister institu- tion, again cast his lot with us, so that there were now five members in the class. The studies were all new and interesting, especially those pertaining 25 to Philosophy and Science. English Oratory and a critical study of Milton and Shakespeare. were added to the curriculum, and we anticipated a ver} - pleasant and highly instructive year, which was fully realized. But one more year of our history remains to be chronicled. As Sen- iors we have at last reached the highest stage of college life. This time, again, one of the former number did not return, so that only four — the faithful few — constitute the Class of ' 97. We found all the studies of the Senior year to be of a much broader scope and of a greater depth of thought than those of previous years. However, with the preparation and discipline previously received, we have been able to pursue them with pleasure and satisfaction. This ends the present history of the class. Its future history we leave to future narrators better qualified, perhaps, to report to generations to come the deeds which will make themselves and the whole number con- spicuous. — Historian. 26 JUNIOR CLASS.

O us, at least, it seems eminently fitting that we should preface the history of this remarkable class by that observation of Schiller ' s which says that immortals never appear alone. Perhaps the wise saying of the learned German scholar was never so con- clusively demonstrated until the present Junior Class of Susque- hanna University sprang into existence. However that may be, we think that with such an introduction we may proceed with a brief resume of our short but exceedingly illustrious career. A few days before the opening of the fall term of school, Aug. 23, ' 94, the atmosphere in the vicinity of the classic walls of Susquehanna Univer- sity betokened and foreshadowed an event of more than ordinary signifi- cance. Just as if some great earthquake should burst forth from the bowels of the earth or some decisive battle was to be fought which should mark an epoch in history, the celestial ether was filled with expectancy. In truth, the elements prophesied well, for upon that memorable day, a band of youths and one lone lass, laying aside their tops and toys, left the har- rowing scenes and Infima Species of Prepdom to become in due time the Summum Genus of the College Classes. A number of our band, having deserted our ranks, failed to put in an appearance, so eleven young men and your humble historian were left to face the battle. In addition to this number, six youths joined our band for better or worse; five as special course students and our renowned Wagner, fresh from the glories of McEwensville, as a regular course student. Of course, as the reader will ahead} ' have anticipated, our attacks upon the various studies prescribed for our delectation were impetuous and highly successful. Especially was this true in the intricacies of Latin, through which we were guided by our accomplished professor of a few months duration. On various occasions the mirthful laugh of the Fresh- man rang out merrily as he was told to translate the Imperfect Infinitive, and then after answering to the best ability of his versatile genius, to be asked, Well, well, what more? ' ' It may be added right here, parenthet- ically, that when the Freshmen recited, there was no more to be said. To be sure, to be sure. 30 In Rhetoric, also, we were highly edified, being guided over the ocean wave and into the mysteries of navigation by the unrestrained imagina- tion of Kipp, until in the midst of a production, that if finished, would have brought renown to the author, whoever that may have been, the gentle- man was unceremoniously requested to postpone the latter part thereof ad infinitum. With some such diversions and much hard and faith- ful labor, we soon won the confidence of the entirs school, including pro- fessors, theologues and janitor. But what wonder. ' • None knew us but to love us ; None named us but to praise. On the 29th of August, 1895, this noble band again faced the music with some of its former adherents out of sight, but two recruits. Miss Rose Gortner, a former member of the Class of ' 97, who desisted from her studies the year before on account of ill health, entered as a regular course student to cheer the heart of the one lone maiden ; and Mr. Yocum as a special course student to reap the benefits of association with so re- nowned a class. The year 1S95-96 was simply a further proof that history repeats it- self. We delved into the mysteries of Science and Mathematics and roamed the fields of knowledge with their ever increasing interests. De- lighted, we explored the aerial regions in our eager zeal to confirm the theories of eminent meteorologists and to restore the inverted temperature gradient when recitations did not present their normal degree of perfec- tion. With vivid memories, we recall the pleasant day spent in the country at the home of Teats ; how the Freshies possessed themselves of our equipage and did the town ; how two monstrous birdies bid good- bye that day to the scenes of earth and poultry villa, and how our bach- elor Prof. nobly chaperoned the illustrious party ; all this, and more, we vividly recall. School duties mingled with such delightful events could never become irksome. Thus the year continued, while there also hap- pened, in the language of the little boy ' s essay, many other things too numerous to mention. September 3, ' 96, our class assembled under the new and dignified name of Juniors, and most magnificently have we preserved that dignity- We are being assisted in this undertaking by Messrs. MacLaughlin and Livingstone, formerly students of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, who filled the places of the two gentlemen who dropped from our ranks. Our number, eleven, was thus kept intact and on we kept our way, satisfied with past successes, and hopeful for future triumphs. As a class we have always been united by the closest ties of friendship and have continually maintained a bredrenly and sisternly feeling. 31 To the Class of ' 98 belongs the honor of inaugurating a movement, which, we trust, will reflect honor both to ourselves and to our be- loved institution whose interests we all hold dear. We refer to the pub- lishing of the first Junior Annual — The Lanthorn. This is but one exhibition of the progressive spirit of our class. Made up, as we are, of eminent divines, lawyers, physicians and authors in embryo, it is impos- sible to foretell a future sufficiently renowned to satisfy our convictions of what cannot help but come to pass. May the world at large yet hear of accomplishments of this group which shall startle them by their signifi- cance and import, and doff its hat to the Class of ' 98. — Historian. l -of- Sot 32 M l- - C ' ■x 7.

' Tis more to guide than spur the muse ' s steed ; Restrain his fury, than provoke his speed ; The winged courser, like a generous horse. Shows more true mettle when you check his course. HIS being the first time an opportunity has been presented to us for the recording of our names, we shall begin our history from our first entrance into college, as doubtless many will be anx- ious to know the source of this illustrious Class of ' 99. On the 29th of August in the fall of ' 95, fresh from Prep- dom, fifteen stalwart lads and four lasses and Morris entered for the first time Gustavus Adolphus Hall as college students. It was a heterogenous throng, composed of prospective doctors, lawyers, preachers, missionaries, dudes, musicians, drovers, and last but not least, good horsemen. Soon after our arrival, we were informed that we must see the Presi- dent and have our names recorded. We called upon the President and from him learned that we must pay our tuition before we could recite. We thought this a rather hard beginning and felt somewhat discouraged. After we recovered from our first discouragement, we settled down to work, and soon discovered that we possessed extraordinary minds. Our profes- sors encouraged us, and even Doctor told us we would become excellent if we stopped our smoking. As a Freshman class we soon became noted for our remarkable wis- dom and understanding. In many respects we even eclipsed Socrates. Our professors told us there would be no need of our staying here any longer than one year. We became so skilled in philosophy that we erected a telegraph system from one of our member ' s rooms to a small cottage, to which he was in the habit of making nocturnal excursions. We con- tinued in our wisdom and understanding until a few days before com- mencement, and then like the flower of the field, we faded. When we became Sophomores, we thought we ought to have some- thing that would distinguish us from the miserable Freshies, so we decid- ed to cany canes. Of course the Freshies tried to imitate us, and to de- feat this attempt, we tried to break their canes over their heads; but find- ing their heads too soft for this purpose, we had to take their canes from them . Next we challenged the Freshies to a game of foot-ball, which they 38 hesitatingly accepted. We had our tickets printed and bills posted in good time. The day for the contest came. The spectators were as- sembled to view this fierce struggle of foot-ball on the college gridiron. We were arrayed in full armor, having on our head harness, nose pro- tectors and shin guards. We had two men from the University of Penn- sylvania engaged as linesmen, three mathematicians were ready on the field to take down the points as fast as we would roll them up against the Freshmen. The time for the game to begin came, but no Freshies were anywhere to be seen; half an hour went by, and still no Freshies came. Then the Juniors being anxious to see the game, led the kids out to the slaughter. Fifteen minute halves were to be played; but before five minutes had passed, we had handled them so roughly, that their friends were compelled to carry their remains to the dormitory. Our team left the field amid the cheers of the multitude. This defeat crushed all the Freshie ' s hope of gridiron glory. Then we adopted a method to improve their physical courage. While the Freshies were coming from recitations, we would give them lessons in wrestling and boxing. This made them only the more afraid of us. They became so afraid that they would not go to meals till all the Sophs had left, and when they saw a Soph approaching them on the street they would turn back and take some alley. Now we were informed by the president of their class, that, if we did not let them alone, they would go on a strike. So we were obliged to treat them more leniently. Before closing we must say, that the Freshman class, under our ten- der care, is doing right well, and by our unceasing guardianship, we hope to have them ready, till the end of the year, for the next step in their college career. We are now ready for our closing figure. We were a little alarmed lest our energies should be somewhat overtaxed, and that, perhaps, the great enterprises we were carrying on, aside from the care of the Freshies, — those of dragging out logarithms, riding ponies, reading interlinears, surveying lauds, and solving the question for our townsmen, What shall we do with our daughters? — would be too much for us; but we find ourselves the stronger for all that. We have simply begun, and in- tend to work on; and when we have finished the course we have started, may words like these crown our labors: They while their companions slept Were toiling- upwards in the nig-ht. —Historian. 39 CLASS POEM. This silly idea struck me one bright morn, To write lines that would sound on the Sophie ' s horn: But when I this difficult task undertook I found it much harder than writing a book; For other men see what you cannot find. And many a one looking for it is turned blind, Because there was nothing within it to find. So pray don ' t examine too rigid my lines E ' en if the thoughts appear pleasant in rhymes, For of thoughts they are filled with many odd kinds, And may take effect on some people ' s minds. S stands for sweet, which can be said of all, Who belong to this class of the great and the small. stands for oil, which we must sometimes apply, To Rhetoric and Greek when the track becomes dry. P stands for push, which we all gladly do, When the track is smooth, and we ' re sure we ' ll get through. H stands for hills oft ' found in our way, But straight on we go, and not even delay. stands for owl, which reminds } r ou of us, When you think of our brains as always judicious. M stands for maid, the one we left behind, Who, besides books, is topmost in the mind. stands for oar, which we use on life ' s sea, And draw ourselves nearer the coveted lea. R stands for rock, the foundation of our class, The rock from which we obtain all our gas. E stands for eye, the grand organ of sight, With which we can choose, from the evil, the right. The class as a whole is a wonderful set, They puzzle the profs till they nearly go det. 40 It ' s no use a talking they ' re too bright for this place; The} ' deserve to be stationed higher in space. But if I ' ve said aught that is not strictly true, About what this invincible class can do, I beg you excuse me for mentioning it, Had I not, they perchance would have given me the mit. — Class Poet. 41 v 0 il nQ ■ FRESHMAN CLASS.

On that occasion twenty-three of the best minds, combined with finely proportioned physiques, passed within the portals of old Susquehanna, and started on the royal road to knowledge. From that day began such an infusion of life and activity as had never before been experienced within these classic walls. The drowsiness of the place was shaken off, and even the sleepy Sophs began to rub their eyes and move about in open-mouth wonderment. Our first meeting as a class was on the morning of matriculation, and as our eyes took each other ' s measure, a bond of friendship instantly sprung up between us, each one concluding that the other would do. Forthwith we put our names to the solemn compact that witnessed our adoption into the school, promising to abide, by every rule and by-law the faculty could make. As we passed before the august body of instruc- tors, a smile of appreciation spread over their stern visages, and many a nod of approval was noticed. Our joy was greatly augmented, however, when we discovered among our number one lady, whom we at once swore to cherish and defend, not only all our school days, but so long as reason and memory sit in majesty over these mud houses. All went well for a short time, until the sleepy Sophs were rudely awakened one day to the fact that they were just a little slow, and that the Freshmen were running things to suit themselves. Something must be done to humiliate the Freshies and check this spirit. Accordingly the Sophs held a solemn conclave one evening in a melon patch on the island, to consider the matter, and also to carry home some of the choice pumpkins ' ' for a proposed feast. Many deep-laid schemes were proposed and dire threats made against the adversary, and with a determination not to let an opportunity pass to bring the Freshies to the dust, each one quietly put his arm around a melon and the party cautiously left the island, wending its way toward the buildings, believing that no one would sus- 47 pect. But, alas! the Freshies did suspect, and were in waiting to receive them. As the melon party crossed the stile into the college grounds, the Freshies filed out from their place of concealment, behind the Gymnasium building, and, with a terrible yell, swoo ped down upon the astonished Sophs. Struck with terror, and forgetting their recent brave resolutions, the wise fools dropped their melons and fled in wild confusion, while the victors feasted upon the spoils in nature ' s great ban- queting hall beneath the stars, and the moon smiled serenely through the tree tops. Now the ' ' Sophs ' ' were rather crestfallen when they recovered from their fright the nextday, and Captain Rustic Shipman summoned the class to appear before him. In great rage the Captain accused them of being cowards and deserters, bringing disgrace upon the class. However, the bravest member managed to explain that they had been ' ' taken unawares and had been struck in the dark. The next move on the part of ' 99 was to engage the Freshies in a contest on the gridiron, hoping to hu- miliate them by an overwhelming defeat. But they had failed to sit down and consider the foot-ball material possessed by 1900, and consequently met with a surprise. In vain did the Sophs try to rush the pigskin ; in vain did Captain Shipman try to rally his men, for they went down in terrible defeat, and the Freshies paraded in triumph from the field amid the cheers of the multitude. This defeat so crushed the hopes of the Sophs, that ever after they avoided all encounters with 1900, and a peculiar shaking of the knees was experienced by them whenever a Fresh man hove in sight, causing the appropriate motto to be applied to them : Tremble! here comes a Freshman. From that time forth they amused themselves as formerly, in asking silly questions in the class room, and in keeping the campus clear of stray cows, an occupation for which they seem especially adapted. Now it came to pass that the time drew near when the class history must be written, and as the Sophs looked over their past career, they found nothing of which to boast or feel proud, aside from the fact that they were good horsemen, and their actions throughout were so puerile that they would not look well in print. There was, however, a certain cobbler in the class who, being of an imaginative turn of mind, consented to use that faculty and write the history. Accordingly his imagination began to work, and a wonderful story was composed, in which the Freshies suffered many indignities at the hands of the Sophs. His misrepre- sentation of the foot-ball game was characteristic, and the cane rush which he saw in his mind ' s eye was very tame, revealing the fact that that 4.s particular optic was somewhat defective, or his knowledge of cane rushes very limited. This production being presented to the class, was received with great satisfaction, and declared to be par excellence. The historian was praised for his brilliant effort and cautioned to handle with care lest the wily Freshmen get their eyes on it. But strange things do happen, and in some unaccountable way this literary gem either slipped through the fingers of the historian or while He and his companions slept Went toiling- upward in the night. In order to understand the important part the Class of 1900 plays in the affairs of the institution, it will be necessary to notice a few things, to wit : In athletics she is foremost, the Varsity eleven having five from her number, and in all other sports she is equally as well represented. The glee club abounds in Freshmen and the University orchestra is mainly composed of 1900 men. We are represented on the editorial staff of the Susquehanna , and the literary societies have new life since our advent. So we press toward the goal, realizing that the first requisite is to know ourselves, and build upon a sure foundation. Trusting not to horses as did our predecessors, but standing on our own mettle, we are able to grapple successfully with the problems encountered, and can look forward to success in whatever sphere of life we are called to move. — Historian. 40 1900. Gxothi Sauton heed it well, Often on its moral dwell, Each one first himself to know, Then to his nearest neighbor go. A story true, we shall unfold, The half of which has not been told, Of the mighty volleys thundered , By the class of nineteen hundred. Volleys of spicy, sparkling wit Across our bright horizon flit, Astounding all our noble profs, A backset t o the wily sophs. Volleys of wisdom most profound, We fling at those who stand around, Nor always look before we shoot To see our scathing arrow ' s route. Volleys of philosophy deep, Twould surely make old Plato weep To see them fired at great and small, Rich and poor, and short and tall. We, a class of mighty mind, Never in the race behind; Onward, ever up to fame, On its pillars, write our name. In old Math., we ' re truly awful, Using means not always lawful, But, if we should chance to pass, Then, we ' ll chuckle, lad and lass. 50 In language too, we ' re very quick, Get up a translation slick, Handle lingoes dead and live. And can swear at least in five. Workers in society, Encouraging sobriety, Never staying out too late Unless we get mixed up in date. We ' ve accomplishments galore, And are steadily gaining more; But, our modesty ' s so true, We can only tell these few. The charming girls we all do love, Our sweet co-ed; dovey dove; She and also man} ' more Welcome us with open door. Scarce enough can here be said Of our darling little co-ed, With her auburn tinted hair, And her ways and face so fair. She ' s a treasure in her way, But, her affections never stay, She has loved each loyal member From fair May to cold December. This will be the banner class, Admitted so by all en masse. On us you can your fortune stake, For we ' ll surely take the cake. Now that we have blown our horn. Pray don ' t laugh at us in scorn, But just wait and you will see What great giants we will be. — H. K. B. (1900). 51 i$W vo jg JU WlOTtfg Philosophian Literary Society History. hat constitutes the present Philosophian Literary Society was ushered into existence in the year 1858 under the name Athlonon Society. The number of active members did not A. iH ex ceed twenty, but the organization flourished and soon BBS!] became well established. The institution not having furnished society halls at that time, the meetings were held in the base- ment of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Before the end of a year, a dissatisfaction arose with regards to admitting the younger students to membership; accordingly, those who opposed this left the society and formed a new organization. The Athlonon being thus left in the hands of the younger members, flourished the remainder of the year, but when school re-opened in the fall only four of the former members returned. Not discouraged, however, they set to work with a will, and the society again rapidly gained strength. The place of meeting was changed to the new room prepared for the society in the present Selins Grove Hall. At the first meeting a committee was appointed to draw up a constitution and by-laws. The name was changed to Philosophian, which proved such a felicitous choice that it has endured to the present day, and has now become so permanently identified with the society that its existence will only end with that of the society itself. From this time Philo be- came an established part of the institution, and has suffered and with- stood at different periods in her career the reverses of fortune which so often threaten the existence of such an organization. The members of Philo, always being awake to the needs of the time and advancement of civilization, and in full sympathy with the co-educa- tional system, long ago broke down the barriers which prevented the la- dies of the institution from becoming members of the society. On the 23d of November, 1882, five young women cast their lot with Philo, and since that time we have always enjoyed the refining influence and ennobling association of the gentler sex. This, without a doubt, was the greatest event in the history of the society, not that we are unable to achieve greatness now, but such opportunities come but once in the lifetime of an individual or society, and Philo seized that opportunity, and won for her- self an enviable distinction which cannot be eclipsed by the action of any similiar organization. The course of the society from the time of this innovation was steady and unaltered, until the spring of ' 95, when another event happened which is worthy of mention in our history and marks an epoch in her career. It was the removal from the cramped quarters in the old building to the newly furnished and more commodious apartment on the third story of Gustavus Adolphus Hall . This event was fittingly celebrated by appropriate dedicatory exercises in which active, ex-active, and honorary members participated. The new hall is very neatly and tastily furnished. Its cozy, attractive appearance reflects great credit upon the judgment of those to whom this difficult task was entrusted. At last have we been able to provide a meeting place satisfactory to the members, and in keep- ing with the society ' s spirit. We have thus finished the forty-eighth year of our existence and at no time in the past was the society in a more flourishing condition. We now number sixty-four active members and have the assurance that harmony dwells in our ranks. While our growth has not been supernatural, it is all that might be expected comparatively with that of the institution, and in consistent keeping with our motto. When the veil is withdrawn from a similiar period of time may it still reveal a prosperous Literary Society that bears the name Philo and honors the motto, A r o i Festinato Non Cessato. 54 4 Philosophian Literary Society.

The keynote of its object, as found in the Preamble of the Constitution, was the preparation of its members for the active duties of life. They had as their motto the appropriate and laconic Excelsior. ' ' This society was known by the above name until 1866, when the name Clionian was substituted for Sophronokopean, and our present motto, Mentalis Ordo, et Moralis Dignitas succeeded that of Excelsior. Another Constitution and a new set of By-laws were found to be demanded by the occasion and by the progress of the society. As the preamble expresses this fact, we quote the most relevant portion of the same : Whereas, we agree that the pres- ent Constitution and By-laws of the ' Sophronokopean Society, ' of which we are members, to be insufficient to demand, as they are intended, the highest state of regularity and order under the various departments of a literary organization, we do, therefore, present the following Constitution and By-laws as the only parliamentary rules by which we, as a literary body, wish to be guided. This Constitution framed in 1866 has since undergone three or four revisions, but fundamentally it is the one by which the society is governed at present. During the earliest history of the society, it seems that meetings were held in the old house now occupied by the Janitor of the Second Lutheran Church ; later, according to inter-society agreement of March 9th, 1866, one society occupied the ' chapel ' one session, the other the next, and so on alternating. Still later, through the efforts of Dr. Born, each society was provided with a hall on the third floor of Selins Grove Hall, which was occupied until Gustavus Adolphus Hall afforded us more appropriate quarters in 1895. The above is a brief historical sketch of Clio, as definite as the knowl- edge at hand affords. Her particular history has been one of gradual progress marked by events of especial importance from time to time. The adoption of our society colors — Old Gold and Blue — was an event which met with general satisfaction among Cliouians, and which was followed almost immediately by our silk banner in those colors. The advent of our Bulletin-board in 1891, which is a monument to Clio loyalty and liberality, also marks an interesting epoch in our history. In 1893, after having waited in vain for the long-promised new build- ing which was to afford us a new society home, we determined to beautify the old hall. Consequently the interior of our hall was remodeled entirely, new curtains, carpets, opera chairs, and heater were procured, and other improvements added, altogether entailing considerable expense, and call- ing forth not a little self-sacrifice on the part of members and friends. Shortly after this the century plant — (a term then used synonymously for the long promised and little expected new building) — actually bore evidence of blooming, and we realized that a considerable amount of labor and money expended upon the old hall was lost. Undaunted and loyal, but with an empty treasury, we faced the project of furnishing our new hall, and, we are happy to say, in spite of this disadvantage, our most sanguine hopes are being speedily realized, even beyond our expectations. We occupied our new hall in the Spring of 1895. The latest event which we chronicle is the admission of ladies as mem bers. Since our institution matured into a co-educational college, there has been a growing sentiment evinced among our number in favor of ad- mitting ladies. While we feel assured that our predecessors had ample reason for being exclusive in this respect because of circumstances then existing, at present it would be both unjust and unwise to continue the old custom. We do not believe in making any distinctions whatever as to sex, since our college is distinctly co-educational. Therefore on Sept. 14, 1896, ladies were admitted as members, subject to the same conditions and entitled to the same privileges as the gentlemen. Thus with our noble motto ever before us, we endeavor to advance, realizing that in Mentalis Ordo et Moralis Dignitas there is voiced the highest aspirations and the noblest traits of character, excelled only by the Christlife itself. May the prosperity of Clio continue, and may her influ- ence, which has already encircled the globe, be even more far-reaching and ennobling in the future, training heart and mind for the best avoca- tions of life. 58 Mentalis Ordo, el Moralis Dignitas.

We had arranged dates for November 7th, 14th and 21st, but were unfortunate in having the games cancelled by the opposing teams.

S9 We ' ve a jolly good crowd at Hotel De Foust, In number we ' re only five cheerful, robust ; T ' assure you we delight in our rich repasts, We refer you for proof to our mistress Foust. At the head sits our lean man, Bill Derr his name, Who carves the meat to each the same. Next to him Smith that wonderful lad, As he asks for his bread looking hungry and sad. Now comes Leinbach looking solemn and deep ; Oft he misses his breakfast because he ' s asleep. Zimmerman follows of great Lab renown, Who is always struck on the sweet girls of town. Then comes Livingston who rides a wheel, And frequently for water makes an appeal. 90 Counting them all they number nine, A motley company I opine, I ' ll mention them just as they come to mind. There ' s Charlie Ruhl who came to school Just to talk and act the fool. There ' s Rohrbach Bill who eats his fill And never stops till he has to still. There ' s Geesy who came for fun and fame, If he misses his breakfast it ' s all the same. There ' s Proffy Eruey asssitant in Greek, By the way he eats you can see he ' s no sneak. There ' s Principal Fisher, a fisher of men, If you don ' t keep straight you ' ll be called up again. There ' s Proffy A. who carves the beef, To dig Greek roots he ' d just as lief. There ' s Shaeffer Charles late from Dickinson Prep, If he ' s late for breakfast he ' s overslept. There ' s Professor Fisher, Principal ' s brother, He ' s here once a day, then goes home to his mother. There ' s Charlie Yon, but the boys all say, There ' s more to eat when he ' s away. Counting them all they number nine, A motley company I opine. 91 BOARDING CLUBS. EXCELSIOR. The bread and cheese were failing fast The oatmeal now had seen its last.

The In- stitute was virtually a Theological Seminary, designed to pre- pare pious and capable men, irrespective of their age or do- mestic relations, for the gospel ministry. At the same time classical training was given to equip men who could not take a full col- lege course for eminent usefulness in the pulpit or on the platform. The first theological instructors at the founding of the school in 1858 were Rev. B. Kurtz, D. D., Baltimore, Md., editor Lutheran Observer, first professor, and Rev. Dr. Henry Ziegler, of Salona, Pa., second pro- fessor. Residing in Baltimore, Dr. Kurtz was only an occasional visiting lecturer, so that the chief burden of the labor at all times rested on Dr. Ziegler. Upon the death of Dr. Kurtz, Dr. Ziegler was chosen first and only professor of Theology, but had the assistance of Rev. Dr. Peter Born, who had been elected principal of the Classical department in 1859. Drs. Ziegler and Born continued in this relation till 1S81, when the former resigned and the latter became first Professor of Theology, and Rev. J. Yutzy, pastor of the College Church, second Professor. When the Institute was made a full College or University changes were necessary. Professors were then elected to specified positions or designated chairs without any numerical nomenclature. At the present time Rev. J. R. Dimm, D. D., is President of the Uni- versity and by virtue of this office the head of both departments. His chair in the Theological Department is Homiletics, Liturgies, Catechetics, Practical Sermonizing and Church History. Rev. J. Yutzy is Professor of Systematic Divinity, Semitic Languages, Hebrew and Greek Exegesis, Pastoral Theology, Biblical Criticism and German. Systematic Divinity was added to Prof. Yutzy ' s labors upon the resignation of Rev. P. Born, D. D., July 1896, whose health failed at that time. The Theological is now a co-ordinate department with the Classical, is not a separate institution, but one of the departments of the University. 106 Ill doctrine it is most unswervingly and thoroughly Lutheran. In spirit this department is pietistic, aggressive, and ardently missionary. The united purpose is to impart a fair knowledge of God ' s word in Hebrew and Greek, and especially to give a most accurate knowledge of the En- glish Bible. Du ring the course every student is expected to analyze every book of the Bible, study its history inductively, and become thoroughly familiar with the theology of Thk Book. The preparation and delivery of sermons occupies a prominent place in the curriculum, and catechization and pastoral work are strongly emphasized. Thorough indoctrination, eminent piety, and enlightened and sanctified zeal are the constant aim and effort in this department. The students now are nearly all College graduates. There is one graduate each from Pennsylvania College and Amherst, six are graduates of the University, and the others are undergraduates of the same. There has been almost constant demand for the services of these students to fill the pulpits of the brethren in the adjoining Synods, and most excellent reports of their labors are constantly given. There is a good reference li- brary in the Theological room, which, together with the general library, affords a fine opportunity for critical and thorough work, and the purpose is to make these facilities better every year. This, it is hoped, will be speedily accomplished, as the graduates are beginning to occupy positions of influence which must tell for good in the future. The seniors nearly all have calls, either provisional or per- manent, and a very successful fu- ture is predicted for them. THEOLOGUE 107 MISSIONARY SOCIETY. OFFICERS. President, ... M. M. Albeck.

M— OPERA HOUSE. NE of the most prominent, as well as enjoyable events of com- mencement week is the reception annually tendered by ' ' Philo to her numerous friends and ex-active members. For six con- secutive years, have her widely scattered friends assembled on these occasions to renew Auld Lang Syne and bask beneath the glory of Philo s banner. Each entertainment has added an increment to the ever gratifying success of its predecessor. The last proved no ex- ception to the rule, and was voted by many as the best of the series. The numerous ex-active members of town generously co-operated with the active members to render the place of rendezvous a scene of elegance and beauty. Our worthy president and wife, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Dimm, as- sisted four members of the society, two ladies and two gentlemen, to receive. As the harmonious strains from Reitmyer ' s celebrated orchestra floated on the atmosphere, and the forms of gaily robed ladies and more soberly clad gentlemen flitted to and fro, the scene suggested to the fastidious observer something very like fairy land. To furnish amusement for the evening, five stage inclined lads and lassies of Philo rendered a farce entitled A Box of Monkeys. The play overflowed with wit and humor and was well received by the large audience. A duet, delivered by Misses Anne and Margaret Philips, bore the spirits of their auditors far away on the wings of song. Excellent refreshments were served ; and after a short time spent in social inter- course, one and all departed to snatch a few hours of repose in the arms o f Morpheus until the events of the coming day should summon them to new activities and enjoyments. 117 Clio Banquet. HE animal banquet is always an attractive culmination of each year ' s literary work, and is quite popular with all Clionians and friends. Tuesday, June 16, 1896, is the date upon which our last banquet occurred. It was held at the Keystone Hotel. In the language of one of the participants: It was 9.30 p. M. when some fifty loyal men and fair ladies arranged themselves before one of the finest feasts the country can produce. It was 10.30 when those same fair ladies and loyal men said enough to the viands before them. Having fully satisfied the claims of the palate, there was found also ample provision made for mental and social refreshment as well, and all who were privileged to be present bear witness as to the su perior quality of the same. Rev. H. O. Shadle proved a most desirable toastmaster and added proper dignity to the office. He presided over the following exercises : Salutatory L. C. HASSINGER, ' 99. Toasts: Meutalis Ordo, Rf.v.

R. Dimin, D. D., and Mrs. Dimm, also Profs. J. I. Woodruff, A. M., ' 88, and Robert N. Hartman, Ph. D., favored us with impromptu remarks, followed by a number of active and ex-active Clio- nians on various appropriate subjects. Adjourning to the parlor, Mr. Charles Yon, an accomplished mem- ber, assisted by Miss Mollie Burns and others, took charge of the musical part of the occasion, and all were delighted with a number of admirably rendered selections. Although many of our expected guests were prevented from partici- pating by the very inclement weather, we who were present realized be- yond a doubt that there was the highest order of pleasure and congenial- ity in our midst, in spite of the warring elements of nature without. At about 12.30 adjournment was in order, and all departed rather reluctantly, cherishing many a kind remembrance for Auld Lang Syne, and many bright expectations to be realized in Clio ' s future prosperity. SECOND ANNUAL JUNIOR ORATORICAL PRIZE CONTEST. WEDNESDAY, -10.30 A. M.- COLLEGE CHURCH. HE prize of $25 annually awarded to the best orator of the Junior class was first established, in 1895, by Mr. William Hare of Altoona, one of Susquehanna ' s warmest friends, and at present, a member of the board of directors. The contest on this occasion, although participated in by only four speakers, created the usual amount of interest and before the time of opening the church was filled to its limits, by the eager spectators and anxious friends. The orators all acquitted themselves nobly; but the prize was clearly deserved by Mr. C. B. Harmau, of Muncy, as the delighted cheers of the audience evinced, even before the judges rendered their decision. Thus the second Junior oratorical contest went down in history as a complete success; but watch this space next year ! PROGRAM. Music Overture The Castelan. Prayer. Music, Overture Encouragement.

M Williamsport, Pa. ALUMNI BANQUET. ROM the auditorium the Association marched, after the address, to the parlors of the National Hotel to enjoy their annual ban- quet. The University Orchestra furnished the music for the occasion in their usual elegant style. After a brief space of intercourse the guests marched into the dining room for a feast of good things. The supper was one that would have gratified the most raging appetite of even Epicurus himself. The supper ended, Editor Wagenseller, the toastmaster, called on several of those present, who responded briefly as follows : Miss Evange- line Dimm read a splendid history of the association ; Prof. Woodruff re- sponded to Our Banquet ; M.

U. It was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the two socie- ties; and accordingly committees were appointed by each to act conjointly in preparing a program. The affair was such a decided success that the same plan was followed for ' 97. A program was arranged and the University chapel tastefully decorated by the joint committee; and in spite of wind and rain the fol- lowing program was successfully rendered before a large audience.

D. present with pride and pleasure, to the friends of Susque- hanna, in this the first issue of The Lanthorn, a brief sketch of the life and activities of our president, Dr. J. R. Dimm. He was born near Muncy, Lycoming Co., Pa., in 1830. His parentage is German, the Dr. being a son of the fourth generation in this country. At the age of twenty he was confirmed a member of the Lutheran church, which has since been so signally blessed by his labors. The following year, he entered the preparatory depart- ment of Pennsylvania College at Gettysburg, Pa. His course having been completed, he graduated from the college in 1857, with the first honors of his class. During the same year he became principal of the Aaronsburg Academy, and meanwhile pursued a private course of stud} ' in Theology. He was licensed to preach in 1859, and the same year was united to Miss Mary C. Hill, daughter of John Hill, of Hughesville, Pa., whose family has been famous in the history of the church. He then ac- cepted a call to the pastorate of Bloomsburg. Here he labored success- fully for eight years as pastor, and practically evinced his great love for education by assisting in the organization of the State Normal School. He also taught the classics for one year in the same institution. In 1867, he became pastor of St. Peter ' s church at Barren Hill, a suburb of Phila- delphia. Here, too, he established a private classical school, and aided greatly in the religious advancement of the community at large. From 1 87 1 to 1873, he acted as secretary for the Lutheran Board of Publication at Philadelphia, and traveled extensively in its interests. In 1S73, he again resumed pastoral work in Philadelphia, but the world demanded his services as an educator, and in 1874 he became principal of Lutherville Female Seminary. After six years labor there, he was called to Kimber- ton, Chester Co., Pa., to organize a new private school. His reputation as a teacher had now become general, and in 18S2 he was invited to assume the priucipalship of Missionary Institute, at Selins Grove, Pa., which has been the scene of his greatest and most successful work. His efforts in this institution can scarcely be sufficiently appre- 128 ciated, even by those acquainted with the facts of the case. He found it a weak and insignificant school, with regard to its classical course ; and less than two dozen students greeted his advent. By his indomitable will and untiring energy, he, step by step, elevated the course and increased the attendance, until the institution has become a mighty factor in the Lutheran Church of America. On its expansion into a University in 1894, he became professor of Greek, and a few months later the Board, recognizing his great executive ability and intellectual qualifications, elected him as President. With Dr. Dimm at its head the future of Sus- quehanna looks bright. May the highest success attend his efforts. 124 BOATING CLUB. Come, my love, and let us go; O ' er sparkling waters we will row.

That, these resolutions be published in the Susquehanna Journal and The L,anthorn and a copy be sent to her sorrowing parents. Signed, Com . 130 ANTI-MARRIAGE SOCIETY.

The old clubs have all passed out of existence, and we offer this as mere apology to our alumni and ex pro- fessors who took so much delight in this pleasant pastime. We have seen better days. DUCKING ASSOCIATION. We are rapidly falling away from the traditions of our institution. The good old times are past. The improved shower baths have killed our time honored sport, and what once furnished a large part of our amuse- ment is now a mere shadow of itself. We regret that we can present the names of none who still indulge in this exhilarating pastime. 136 MARBLE CLUBS, With the advancement of our institution marble clubs have been in- troduced. The halls now resound with the merry voices of our more sportive students. Shooting for keeps is not allowed. Pitching buttons is also becoming popular. The following are the most proficient in these arts. Harry Raabe. Willie Dp;rr. Eddie Brumgart. Charlie Harm ax. Elmer Ruth. Hessie Wagner. Georgie Livingston. Herbie Allison. And Others.

Gentlemen, Dear Sirs: As our institution has passed through the formative period and now stands head and shoulders above prepdom, having developed into a full- fledged college, we feel pressed by our spirit of pride and progress to call your attention to a few instances in which we can yet throw off the shackles of tradition and perfect ourselves into the typical American college. It is with a feeling of sadness that we begin our attack upon some of the old customs which are so peculiarly characteristic of our institution ; but so strong is the sense of duty in her behalf that we dare not give way to sentiment and the tender reflections of the moment. Realizing the fact that the tree should be pruned and trained in the way it should go while it is yet young and easily influenced, we beg leave to suggest to you a few changes and improvements, which, in our estimation, would go far to add to the comforts and pleasantness of student life, as well as raise the stan- dard of the institution. We would first therefore remind you of the fact that we are still clinging to the superannuated method of holding evening chapel. While this was all very proper in its day, we are very reasonable in thinking that it has outlived its purpose. The college men feel that it is a serious restraint to their privilege, and it also has the tendency to breed a spirit of servile obedience in a class of men who should ever be characterized by the buoyancy of freedom and liberty. Furthermore, instead of placing the men upon their honor, it seems to reflect slightly upon their faithful- ness to duty, and casts out the suspicious hint that they are not to be trusted. But the sooner they are thrown upon their own responsibilities the more able will they be to deal with the practical questions of life. We consider the above reasons sufficient for abolishing this offensive fea- ture of our college, having in all modesty not deigned to mention the in- terruption of study hours, the shattering of the evening, the interference with outside appointments, the embarassment of committee meetings, the exposure in passing to and fro between the buildings, the liability to be ducked, the tendency to go out after service, the danger of becoming disorderly during prayer, the tendency to do away with private worship, the habit of congregating in rooms, the necessity of forging excuses for unavoidable absences, and a hundred and one other reasons, all of which our modest} ' will not permit us to mention. We would therefore recom- mend a speedy repeal of the present stringent measure, which produces such odious effects. C. E. Committees. I 10 Along the same line we would also call your attention to the shower baths you put in last fall. They are immense, and certainly a decided improvement. The students with few exceptions have been healthier this year than ever before, and we owe much of the success of our foot-ball team to the invigorating ablutions they received by this method. Such encouraging reports should be an incentive for you to put in a more ex- tensive system. Your beginning has been very good, and no doubt your intentions are the same, but please let them materialize as quickly as pos- sible, that we may be spared the unpleasant task of again reminding you of our growing wants through the medium of another petition. You may think we are somewhat exacting when we hint at an im- provement in the gymnasium. Surely the one we enjoy is almost all we could ask for. The horizontal bar on the north-west corner of the campus is grand. It does one ' s heart good to see how much the boys appreciate it. Some of them are becoming quite proficient. We suggest that an acrobatic exhibition would add much to the attractions of commencement week. The dumb-bells and Indian clubs are fine, as is also the race- track in the basement of the new building. But all in all, we hardly have enough apparatus to give the boys sufficient variety of exercise. In fact there is a slight tendency to nervousness on the part of some, which has manifested itself in chapel. It would be supercilious for us to suggest what we ought to have, we simply ask you to investigate for yourselves. We feel somewhat embarrassed when we think of saying anything about the athletic field. It is far superior to anything we have ever had. Words fail us when we attempt to tell you how the boys took advantage of it. It certainly was inspiring to see them chasing the pis-skin up and down the field last fall. And what crowds we had out to the games, in fact the} ' were immense, but the truth of the matter is we couldn ' t collect enough out of all the comers to bear the expenses. It was mighty dis- couraging to the business manager, and a severe blow to our athletic am- bitions. Some one of your members could make himself immortal by divining a scheme to keep out the dead heads, in short we believe that much of the future success of the school depends on this one thing alone. We feel safe in saying that a monument would be erected on the campus to the man who could provide a remedy for this lawless practice. You will do honor to yourselves by giving this matter careful consideration. It is, greatly feeling our own weakness, that we approach the next and last point of our dissertation, but so strongly have we been urged, that we could not refrain from telling you that there has actually been some smoking going on in the building during the past winter. It is not 141 because the boys are arbitrary on this subject, but they acquired the tena- cious habit before coming to college, and you know how hard it is to give it up, besides it is a very congenial method of getting acquainted, but it is awfully disagreeable to the most of us. We can scarcely stick our heads outside the door until we are greeted by the sickening fumes of the pipe, and poisonous odors of the deadly cigarette. But it is not our in- tention to complain, the age allows too much liberty in this respect for us to find fault with the habits of our friends. The college authorities have done all they could to stop it, but the tide has become resistless. It must be tolerated or we will have to close our doors. There is a way out of it without doing either. We have plenty of room on the campus, and why not have another dormitory, that all may be accommodated. This idea did not originate with us, and we merely allude to it as a fond hope which we trust may soon be realized. There are many other things to which we would fain call your atten- tion, but time and space forbid. Having in all kindness and charity made these few remarks and timely suggestions, which we trust will be received by you in the same spirit, we remain very truly yours. The Staff.

My imagination runs cold. When I think of the horrible sublimity portrayed on this occasion my blood boils with a frigid warmth, and my heart beats in sympathy with the chiming tintinnabulations of the silvery bells that dangled gracefully from the fleecy swan-like necks of those peaceful immaculate sheep as they majestically scaled the gentle verdant slope of that everlasting hill, formed of ada- mantine rock long centuries ago, when dark- ness sat enthroned as sceptered king and harmonized cosmos was springing full grown from the head of unorganized chaos. 148 WHAT THEY WILL DO DURING VACATION.

The autumn leaves were falling fast As through the college campus passed A youth, who bore, concealed from sight A bag, he wished to fill ere night With chestnuts. His heart was light and in his mind He pictured groves that he would find ; And so he asked friend Heuninger To go along and with him share The chestnuts. In happy mood the} ' passed such fruit As would a common mortal suit ; But they despised the orchard ' s wealth. And moved along with cautious stealth For chestnuts. Climb not that tree, cried Heuninger, But this did not our Tommy scare ; For he pulled off his shoes and socks And said: I ' ll strew these ancient rocks With chestnuts. 145 Oh stay, his friend imploring said; Yet Tom climbed up the tree instead. And uttered a triumphant sound, As he began to strew the ground With chestnuts. The farmer comes ! fell on his ear, And Henninger ran like a deer ! But Tommy ' s head from fright now whirrs And he jumps down into the burrs Of chestnuts. At break of day what did he do — This pious man of old S. U. — But take a knife and try to pick The burrs, that in his feet did stick, Of chestnuts. The whole next day with face to sky The soreness caused our Tom to lie ; But when at last his pain was o ' er, I ' ll never go again, he swore, For chestnuts. H(i OUR REASONS FOR GOING OUT. It is a pleasing change. It is pleasing to the girls. It is pleasing to us. It is pleasing (?) to our papas. It saves oil. It feeds our face. It develops the social side. It prevents homesickness. It drives away the blues. It encourages our single Profs. It sustains kindly relations between us and town. It prevents incubatorism. It populates Studentville. It gives us a chance to blow ourselves. It affords an opportunity to practice our puns. It preserves many girls from oldmaidism. It develops the poetic nature. It booms the school. It stimulates thought. It prevents us from getting careless in appearance. We must sustain our popularity. 147 SUSQUEHANNA BICYCLE TALK. Ball bearing : Married man of Studentville carrying baby.

Sing, oh muse, in joyous measure; Give us from thy boundless treasure, Words with rhythmic cadence floating; Every round of joy denoting Of the feast at Brian Teats ' . O, there was a thrill of rapture, That the hardest heart did capture. You could hear our hearts a thumping — We could hardly keep from jumping — When we got that invitation. All braced up in proper fashion; Each cut clown his daily ration. Wewere bound e ' en though ' twould bust us, ' That we would do ample justice To the feast at Brian Teats ' . Soon the morning dawned all glorious, When we left all things laborious. We were busied with our toilets, When the Freshmen — verdant boylets — Stole our horse and carriage from us. True, they were quite chicken-hearted, For the Sophies soon were started, To that center of attraction, Which became a scene of action, In which pleasure was the victor. Yet our journey was a pleasure, Only in a certain measure; For alas, two boys got sat on — But not in the selfsame fashion As our escort does in classroom. 154 Thief of time, indeed is pleasure; For in time too short to measure, Right before us boldly standing Was our longed for destined landing, Or that home of Brian Teats ' . In an instant all were landed, In a solid phalanx banded, On that house our force directed, And as might be well expected, We soon had the full possession. Silence may sometimes be golden, If we trust a proverb olden: This the Sophies have exploded, With this thought our mind is loaded; Owlish silence is not wisdom. Then to demonstrate our spirit We thought music would come near it; Dr. Hartman led the chorus, Painfully, right there before us, With a tenor drum and drumsticks. Sing of seething torrents rushing; Tell of brooklets sweetly gushing; Talk of storms and rolling thunder — All such tales are rent asunder, When compared with Sophie ' s music. Sing of Orpheus, classic booklets, With his train of trees and brooklets; We care not to hear thy story, Since we ' ve proved to our own glory, That music is an art divine. From such worship of Apollo, Hunger keen did fiercely follow, Now above abating singing Floats the peals of bells sweet ringing- Clanging in the banquet parlor. 155 We could not resist its pleading, Nor restrain our feet from leading, To a feast so rich in fashion As would wake a Stoic ' s passion; Even daunt an Epicurus. Every clime that Phoebus kisses, Adds it wealth and nothing misses, To enhance the viands sweetness, And to lade with full completeness, Tables moaning, creaking, groaning. Turkey, Greece and China greet us, Every nation vies to treat us, With its dainty products rarest, Gorgeous, sweet, and of the fairest, At the Sophies royal banquet. Time and stud} ' has promoted Every class as then denoted; Sophies then iivfact and name, Are Juniors now 7 of Lanthorn fame. Verdant Freshmen — verdant Sophies.

Arthur Hinds, full bloodedstoek, also Resilver ' s hy- brids. The following now on hand, and must be sold. All are well broken. Prices to suit all. Why walk when you can ride? Why not unite pleasure with work while at college. Come and see our stock and secure a bargain. Demosthenes, Jc Corona, badly run down, formerly owned by Geo. Living- stone. Tacitus, sound as a dollar, formerly owned by Win. Bastian. Senectuie, driven very hard, spavined, formerly owned by Joe Langham. Homer, able to carry a whole class, formerly owned by A. B. Wallize. Memorabilia, guaranteed sound, formerly owned by Erney. Livy, very tired, needs rest, V? price, formerly owned by Geo. Schoch. Herman and Dorathea, family horse, one eye, formerly owned by F. R.- Wagner. Many others which we cannot mention. We have tried and used all our stock and can give a guarantee as to their worth. The faculty recom- mends the use of these horses. Class marks are much higher since they have been introduced, and flunking is unknown. 157 THANATOPSIS UP TO DATE. To him who in the love of live-stock keeps Four ponies in his trunk, they read his Various languages. In his gayer hours He goes to see his girl, while he who has No horse, stays in and makes a graceful flunk. And in the darkness of the night, when all Around is still, with bag in hand, he steals The farmer ' s apples e ' re he is aware. Then when the pains and cramps come like a blight Over thy stomach, and sad images Of the stern agony and doctor bill, And missing evening chapel to thy shame Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart, Go forth at once to a drug store, and buy Some Paregoric, while all around : ' ' Eat thou no more green apples which you steal , ' ' Comes a still voice. Yet a few days and the Choice apples will be picked ; thou shalt be seen Then at the apple hole, in the cold ground, Where thy pale form may lay with many tears And yell, as shot and slugs quite perforate Thy image. Earth that nourished thee shall claim Thy growth of hair, and mix it up in plaster, And lost each foot-ball trace, surrendering up Thine ' ' brutish being, ' ' thou shalt be arrayed To mix forever with the pessimist — To be a brother to the anti-football man, Who superannated games enjoys, Plays hide and seek and milder sports. The crank Shall shout his notes abroad to praise thy sense. Yet not to the attractive apple-hole Shalt thou retire alone, — Well couldst thou wish Crowd more magnificent. Thou shalt go out With Theologs of the senior year — Freshmen, 15S The greenest thing on earth — the Preps, the Subs, Our Profs, the foragers of ages past, All in one mighty scheme combined. Old maids Rockribbed and aged as the sun, :;: ;;: Are but the solemn monuments all Of the neglect of man And what if thou withdraw Unheeded by the Preppies ! All that pony Will share thy destiny. The girls will laugh when Thou art gone ; the widows brood of care Plod on ; and each one as before will court Their favorite phantom, Freshmen in life ' s green spring, and he who rides In the full strength of years, Senior and Theolog Shall, one by one, be gathered for exams., By those who, in their time, have ponied too. So live that when thy summons comes to join The trembling caravan that moves To the pale realm of exam., where each shall take His sweating in the silent halls of dread, Thou go not, like the students here at night, Scourged into chapel, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering gall, approach thy doom Like one who has the contents of his horse About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. 159    ' andall those H E management o£ the blica tton, de- rvipao, du: , Wv Cheap, dur- tod a salaried operator.

To-day every student and every teacher knows, and we want every parent to learn, that no schoolbook should be thrown away until we have been given a chance to appraise it. Everyone knows, too, that we can supply promptly, and at New York prices, any schoolbook of any publisher — probably second-hand if desired ; surely new if we happen to be out of second-hand. More than that, we stand the postage or else we prepay the expressage. Swiftness, courtesy, and fair prices make up our golden rule, and we bestow the same careful considera- tion upon the boy or girl in the remote hamlet who wants one book in a hurry, that we give to the bookseller who has his whole town to supply. Any school board, any school official, any teacher will find it not only to his convenience, but to his profit, to treat with us because we are not only at the schoolbook center (New York), but are ourselves the schoolbook head- quarters, thus ensuring the two great desiderata, discounts and despatch, not to mention the credit-allowance on old books consigned to us for exchange. Then, again, we ourselves publish one hundred and twenty-five Translations ( the Latin, the Greek, German, and French classic writers), and a dozen-and-a-half Dictionaries of the ancient and modern languages, so that we have come to be considered the one sure clearing-house for any translation or dictionary. We also publish question-and-answer books, civil-service guides, speakers, class records, and other specialties for teachers, besides the three-hundred-odd volumes of the University Tutorial Series which comprises text-books (with the unique Teachers ' Editions, separate) covering thoroughly Greek, Latin, French, English, the sciences, mathematics, mechanics, history, ethics, logic, etc., etc. These Tutorial text-books are designed for sincere and thorough work, and are the production of sincere men whose exclusive business has been and is to fit students for the severe tests of the London University. The intention of the publishers is to fit the bill, not to rival other series. Yet many competent instructors tell us that the Tutorial books do surpass all others, both editorially and typographically. Complete list free on application. To anyone mentioning this advertisement we will send free our new and complete alphabetically arranged Catalogue of the schoolbooks of all the publishers. This Catalogue quotes our mailing prices for both new and second-hand books, and is frequently described by enthusiastic customers as a treasure in itself because so compact while so complete. Correspondents who desire to sell schoolbooks to us, should also ask for Books Wanted which is our buying Catalogue. No charge for catalogues for yourself or for any of your friends upon whom you may wish to confer the favor. Send us the address we will do the rest.
