FEARING lest the custom of publishing a college annual would die in its infancy, the Eunomian Literary Society, with great reluctance and in little hesitation, and after many stormy debates, finally decided to publish the humble pro- duction now offered to the critical eye of a critical public. Whether we deserve praise for the undertaking, or a host of invectives, let others be the judge. In our work we endeavored to make the annual more like the average college annual ; having omitted the useless accounts and literary productions of inferior quality, with the idea that that which does not improve the work is an incumb- rance, and should, if possible, be avoided. A college annual, at the most, can be only a publication of mere statistics, so to speak, dry and not at all calculated to make the work attractive and pleasing to a reader. It is only the college man who is interested in it, and, we regret to say, by no means the majority of these. In all annuals we see handsome designs, steel engravings, fine sketches, and a general appearance which is at once pleasing, — such an annual we cannot hope to present to the students of Swarthmore College, on account of the very poor support given here at the College. We have endeavored in speaking of the classes, to avoid all personality, and we feel that such has been the case; but should any one, (and such was the case last year,) feel that his rights have been in any way encroached upon, — to him, as to all others, we say, it was not intentional. We have taken great care with the many names and Asso- ciations with which we have had to deal. Let any mistakes which may occur in any part of the work, be attributed to no negligence on our part, but to the great difiiculty in obtaining such lists. 10 THE E UNO MIAN. Having premised thus much, we bid you be lenient with our production. If you ask us why, we simply say, — publish one. Kind friends, with these few words of pre- face, to you we intrust The Eunomian, with all its faults and blemishes. SiPAPP. EDITOR : PHILIP Q. CHURCHMAN, ' 85. ASSOCIATE EDITORS : FRANK G.

That was a brilliant scheme, and merits praise. A class with two badges is to be envied. We hear you are going to take the gold to make those rings, — good idea — economy. While pondering we suddenly thought of all those appli- cations, commonly called nick-names. What a full collection you have to be sure ! What admirable taste ! There is Dad or Gaar, and Grandma, and Schneider, and Snorks, and Ary, and General, and Bebe, (and perhaps more, but we are weary,) and poor Sill has left. There is something classic there we think ; we can ' t find it though at first sight. Let us try to find something near about what they can mean. Gaar! — gaar ! we have heard of that ? — yes ? All at once the thought of that invincible Greek monos yllable flashes across our mind ; but why a man is called, or, we can ' t see. We can understand Grandma, (always pronounced with that final a strongly emphasized,) and Schneider, but Snorks, — we give it up, — but it suggests familar sounds. We will try it again ; Snorks, — the nearest to it in Latin is sons, a malefactor — not that ; German, — sorge, sorrow — not that ; Greek can ' t find anything that approaches it, — nearest is coffin — not that. Let us see what we have ; a malefactor, sorrow, and a coffin, — pleasant thoughts to associate with a fellow. However they all run in the same channel ; perhaps there is something deep in that word Snorks. Ah ! we have it : take the ini- tial s, reverse o and n in sons, and we have snors, — k put in for euphony. How deep ! We infer that the derivations of Ary and the rest are, if anything, deeper, hence we will leave them in their obscuritv. THE EUNOMIAN. 19 Opfigbi s of ©lass op ' 8$.

How ' 85 was wrecked, space and ' twould be an injury to the College, etc., will not permit me to tell. Yet the six sturdy mariners still plough the briny deep in storm and calm. Reader, think of a class of six! How charming it must be to belong to sitcA a class ! How glorious to be one of tlie six! You have indeed the true college spirit, ' 85. The many representatives from ' 85 on the Phoenix this year gained fame and glory. It was an honor to old ' 83, your associate class, to see so many from ' 85 on the staff. When is that Junior Exhibition to take place? Though the date was fixed in the catalogue for a day some time past, we infer it has been changed to suit your convenience, for you always have had such petty privileges. But why so late? surely you cannot think of omitting it? We are patiently waiting for it notwithstanding the rumor. And athletes; what an energetic body of individuals you are withal ! So many famed athletes, and yet buried in such deep obscurity. The members of the engineering and literary sections of your class are destined to reach the summit of all fame in after days.

Tbey liave gained the name in the college of warriors; and among sundry other things of more or less merit, the following are perhaps not inaptly applied: Skill in business — fifteen dollars for a secretary ' s book — ten dollars for a gavel (they bought one for fifty cents afterward); stu- pidity in general — they plant their tree in open daylight — stupidity unequalled ! Orators, poets, musicians, and athletes are there found in countless confusion. It is said, when they are all assem- bled the various efforts of those versed in oratory and the various wiles of persuasion approach a bedlam. Preserve us from the scene! The crowning glory of their sophomore year, — the planting of their tree has passed. How glorious: — how incomparable to -all others was this event, — let others say. Far be it from us to criticize a class which plants a tree in the day time, in open sunlight, before the wistful eyes of the infantile Pr p. How small they appeared in the eyes of that same individual on the following morning, let us say nothing. But when we heard that they could not plant the tree, guarded so carefully by the President, until the Freshmen signed the paper, which signified that they had given their permission, our amazement knew no bounds. No ; we were so much more overcome when we heard that they had planted, — nay buried that same syca- more tree in six feet of soil, that we had to glance at their cowed and ignorant craniums to see if they had filled that vacuum, so graciously advised by the President of the class of ' 83. We could not exactly satisfy ourselves, owing per- haps to having our attention suddenly called to other equally astonishing statements. Enchanting class, adieu !

THE Freshman of course have a yell, for what could they do without one? and what an explosion would inevit- ably occur, had they not a means wherewith to pass off surplus gab accumulated to so great an extent, notwithstanding the boasts of what we, have to do, and our College, and our every- thing else. But to that yell, that glorious combination of harmonious sounds, — that inextricable compound of languages from modern English to the baby prattle of the ancient Chinaman. Put that same combination in the mouth of a Freshman, and you will go to the undertaker ' s on the next train. AVe have heard of your various parliamentary efforts — and oh ! the thought ! How many motions do you have to make to adj ourn ? We once heard twenty. Ye Gods ! what wisdom !

On such occasions representatives of the E. L. S. will not, it is safe to say, be found wanting ; but on the other hand always present to share the honors, and do justice to the menu. Brother Fitch, we fancy, may at times be heard singing his favorite strains with Orphic sweetness ; Brother Frame (now Columbia ' s son) will strike his lyre with Apollonian grace and sing a wild chant of his own making, and Tucker and Turton lifting their voices in tones of joy or sadness, according as they sing early or late at the feast. The government and management of the association is confided to the Governing Committee, consisting of five (5) of its members, who are authorized to elect annually, from its own body, a President, and a Secretary and Treasurer, who shall hold ofl ce one year from the date of their election.

PRESIDENT ' S ADDRESS. 1 hardly think it necessary for me to explain why you are here to-day, so I shall allow the programme to speak for itself J which includes, among other rare attractions, a history of a most remarkable class, portrayed by an historian possessing a most remarkable amount of imagination. It affords you an excellent opportunity of hearing a charmin g production of the class poet, whose genius has never been denied. Even as I speak Our Orator can scarcely restrain the eloquent emotions, which agitate his glowing breast; and, shining from the eyes of the prophetess, I see a dreamy, far away expression, which would seem to indicate her eagerness to initiate you into her mystic rites ; and, lest I hasten, I fear so much pent up genius will explode, or otherwise disturb the proper degree of decorum which should characterize this interesting assemblage. The class of ' 83 is, in many respects, a most marvellous one, as you must admit, when the statistician has made you acquainted with some of their more prominent peculiarities. We have graciously consented to appear in this public man- ner, not from any desire on our part to be seen, but simply, in order that you all may have the pleasure of becoming acquainted with our extraordinary history; and further, that you may behold for yourselves the many accomplish- ments for which we are widely known and universally admired. But I must tell you, lest you make the discovery for yourselves, that in any enumeration of our virtues, you may chance upon, the fair form of modesty will unfortunate- ly be found lacking. Yet, though we be not modest, we are at least sincere, and no heartier wish has ever entered our THE E UNO MIAN. 41 thoughts, than that the halls of our Alma Mater may long stand, and stand firmly in the cause of the good work she has begun. May Swarthmore continue to remain the brightest ornament of that society to whose efforts she owes her existence, and to which we, who are before you to-day, owe our education and four years of an exceedingly pleasant life ! Now it has b een the time honored custom in this famous institution for the graduating class, whose superior know- ledge, and instructive experiences have qualified it to impart useful information, to offer, wherever it may be deemed necessary, some valuable advice to the under-graduates ; merely as an act of kindness, actuated by the purest motives of philanthropy. So, without mentioning in any way the class of ' 82, whose various accomplishments were only ex- ceeded by the quantity of old brass and the number of small horses they endeavored to find sale for at their graduation, I will proceed to make my bow before that famous collection of one dozen stupendous individuals, known as the class of ' 84. To you, much respected body, we bequeath all the rights, privileges, and immunities which belong exclusively to Seniors. A greater part of them you will find posted in your Senior Room, placed there through the kindest consider- ations o n the part of the Faculty. You will, of cours.e, pay due respect to the slight restrictions attached to them, — in short, to use the words of the Faculty, — If you obey all regulations, you shall enjoy eternal happiness. But, beloved Class, before we depart hence to sink into comparative insignificance, ' we must tell you how much we sympathize with you in your strenuous exertions to acquire celebrity. We recognize your great genius, and mourn with many others that nature has not permitted it to appear externally. And what a satisfaction it must have been to you to have seen the Halcyon appear so promptly, after the employment of so much invisible talent, which the prepa- ration of such a work must necessarily require! Chaotic you have been called, and schemy, and far be it from me to deny any such just appellations. The young 42 THE EUNOMIAN. ladies of your class deserve the eternal gratitude of the fair sex for their unceasing endeavors, to procure for the suffering female that inestimable privilege of visiting the polls and cast- ing her vote for the best looking man. One of your young men has been noted for his remarkable power of condensa- tion in debate, others have won great fame as early risers; for be it kno- m that at Swarthmore the early riser catches the grits ; ' — but why should I continue? If I were to enumerate all your virtues, these seats before me would be as vacant as the curly head of yon blooming Freshman. And how can I sum up more appropriately than by quoting the words of the poet? who, in speaking of yoiu ' illustrious class, remarks : — The girls for Women ' s Eights are bound, Though some are fair and dreamy; But all the boys I ' ve long since found Are pompous, bright, and schemy. Amiable class, farewell! May your vast and awful schemes cover you with glory! We pay homage to your wanderful abilities, and prostrate ourselves meekly before such an extraordinary mass of concentrated greatness. But how different are the feelings with which we now turn to address our friends and associates, the Class of ' 85, to •whose kindness and skill we owe these beautiful decorations which surround us ! We are at a loss to know exactly what to say to you, for we are certain that no words of ours could possibly increase the good feeling existing betv een us ; and we are equally confident that nothing, which we could say, would enhance, in any way the good opinion with which all people regard you. But we think we may say, with propriety, that you have been a most unfortunate class in many ways. Your number has been divided by the insertion of an additional year in the course; you have been denied the use of a Sophomore Room, a thing unprecedented in the annals of the college ; and you have been made to attend the general study collections, where you have had to obey the same regu- lations as the infantile prep. Truly your lines have fallen in pleasant places. You have been pursued by the THE E UNO MIAN. 43 studied animosity of the Faculty, if, indeed, such an even minded body can bear animosity ; yet, with all this, you have never complained; you have borne all these afflictions and persecutions with a meekness worthy of the great prophet himself. And let me tell you for your future happiness, that blessed are they that expect but little of the Faculty, for truly they shall not be disappointed. Continue to live in forbearance, and you shall truly receive your reward. But we would warn you to beware of the Junior Room, lest ye fall into disfavor. The seductive charms of that apartment are hard to resist, and few there be, that survive them. Be advised, we beseech you, by those who have ex- perienced its allurments, and who would wish to see you escape unharmed. Keep fast hold of that great muscle with- in you, concerning whose steadiness you can never be certain ; let none of you lose your individuality, by allowing the whereabouts of that important throbbing member to escape your vigilance. With these few words of admonition, we will leave you; and may your Junior year be as prosperous as your Sopho- more term was unfortunate! At length, ' 86, it is your turn ; I have been watching you, and your eagerness to learn what we shall have to say about you, has not escaped me. I truly wish it were to be some- thing real nice, — but we love the truth, and must adhere to it, even at the expense of our inclinations. Within the memory of man there has been no such class at Swarthmore. You combine with all the childish prattle, and limited brains, common to Freshmen, the brazen impu- dence of the Junior, and the stupendous cheek of the prep. Yet you are a modest class ; yes, an extremely modest class ; no one, who has ever heard your representatives express their lofty ideas, can doubt the quantity or the quality of your modesty. Let no one dare to impeach the modesty of the Class of ' 86. Then too, how economic you must be! why we could scarcely credit our senses, when it came to our ears that on 44 THE E UNO MIAN. the occasion of the inauguration of your grand class organ- ization, your members were content with demanding the modest little sum of fifteen dollars wherewith to purchase — a mmute book. Ye poM ers, what judgment! what a charming idea of business you must possess withal ! We should also like to say a word about your sweet dispositions but — Oh heavens! And then your class yell, where did you get it? We can hear it ringing in our ears now, — Re! Ra! Rah! Rix! S. C! ' 86! — Hang up your stocking, we implore you, and pray that Santa Glaus may send you something to -fill a vacuum ! It was reserved for the Spring, however, to behold your true greatness; then it was, that your courage (?), which had been slowly accumulating during the long winter months, broke forth, and was to accomplish things unheard of; and nobly did you fulfil your expectations ; for what could exceed the bravery and fortitude with which you silently crawled through a window at night, to destroy the Sophomore tree? And, in spite of the fact that the Sophs were all asleep, you never wavered, for : — Scarce had daylight ' s dusky ray Announced to men approaching day, And sullen night had scarce begun To shape her flight, ere dawned the sun. When, turning in his trundle bed, Sweet Freshie raised his verdant head ; A moment views the solemn night. Fast merging into gray pale light ; Then, turning ' round he seeks a match, And robes himself with quick despatch ; Then out into the hall he flies. Great valor shining through his ej es. To one, who met him there, ' twas plain Some mighty purpose vexed his brain. At length together two by two, The Freshmen seek the rendez-vous ; Upon the campus now they stand. In sooth, a most courageous band. This: — the leader of their choice, With trembling limb, and quaking voice, How great and valiant we will be. THE E UNO MIAN. 45 If we can steal the Sophomore tree ! Along the ground we ' ll softly creep, For all the Sophs are sound asleep ; We ' ll gather round the little sprout, And from tbe earth we ' ll tear it out; Around we ' ll dance in mazy wliirls, And break off pieces for tlie girls. Let one and all with greatest care Avoid the Sopli, who finds us sneaking there. Across the lawn they softly glide. Midst sheltering trees on either side ; And stride along with fiendish glee, To steal that lonely Sophomore tree. But thrice in haste they hurried back, For fear the Sophs were on their track. At last one braver than the rest Invokes the courage in his breast, And, darting forth with lightning speed, Mirahile dictu ! — does the deed. Then to their rooms they quickly run. Thoroughly ashamed of what they ' ve done. Thus did the baby Freshman boys Find a substitute for childish toys. ' 86 we must say farewell, and may your cheek decrease as your years advance ! We earnestly hope, for your sake, that you will kindly receive the advice which has cost us so much trouble to prepare for you. — Farewell. James E. Vkrree. 46 THE EVNOMIAN. l7isiroi Y OP (Slass op ' 83 YES, friends and classmates, you may indeed gaze won- deringly at the small band of eighteen now before you, — sole survivors of the mighty host of sixty-four that first entered these classic halls scarcely four years ago. Loving parents, sweet sisters, and doting brothers bade fond farewells and administered kindly advice to the sixty-four young hopefuls, who, casting behind them all the tender ties of home, and with many a lingering, tearful glance, set forth to battle, with Swarthmore ' s chaotic life before them. Entrance examinations, the great ordeal of the new student, were over, and the class in its mightiness took its first breath — a deep, long, invigorating breath, that gave promise of future greatness. Then, gazing around hesitatingly, we began to realize slowly but surely that life is real, not a fleeting shadow, and that our presence at Swarthmore was an actual thing. Gradually matters became straightened, the horizon grew clearer, and recognising the importance due to the largest Freshman class that had ever entered Swarthmore, active measures were soon taken toward placing the class on a firm basis. Previous classes had had their class societies; ' 83 would have one too, but it was to far exceed all attempts of our predecessors; we would have a society that was a society, — none of your half-way business for us. Consequent- ly, meetings Avere held, committees appointed to draught a constitution and by-laws, a president, secretary, and legions of other officers were elected and duly installed. With great pomp and confusion the society was established. Our great trouble was that we could not all be Presidents and amuse ourselves by pounding with the gavel. And that gavel ! — we expect to put what is left of it in the Class Stone. THE EUNOMIAN. 47 The object of the society was for the purpose of mutual improvement in debate and exercise of lung j)ower. For the success in debate, not much can be said ; those appointed to de- bate seemed to be afraid of saying too much and consequently said too little, or nothing at all. But as for the exercise of lung power, no words can describe it ! Our Professor of Elocution would have fairly wept for joy to behold the proficiency attained by most of us, had he had the great honor of being present at any of our meetings. The society also offered excellent advantages for those who were gymnastically inclin- ed, as the Lyceum always contained numerous chairs and benches that invitingly stood ready to be jumped over. Should any one imagine for an instant that these various improprieties were indulged in by any but the masculine portion of the class we would speedily undeceive them. The weaker feminine nerves were much shocked by our riotous behavior. The exercises were often varied by music from the Class Quartette, and altogether we had a truly hilarious time. It was only the outcropping of youthful spirits, the exuberance of joy at being Freshmen, that prompted our childish pranks. We were not naturally bad, and have quieted down consider- ably since then, — thanks to the good influence of the girls; so that now we are quite as sedate and dignified as could reasonably be expected. ' 83 early took a prominent part in all out-door sports. In the Freshman year the class had decidedly the best athletes in the college. Together with ' 81 the championship was held in Base Ball, and the Foot Ball Team defeated the com- bined elevens of the other classes. In the field meetings of the Athletic Association, the class did not fall behind its high standing, but captured several of the important events of the day. Not only in the Freshman Year, but up to the present day the class has fully demonstrated its ability in every department of Athletics. The Christmas Holidays came, and many a homesick Freshie returned to seek consolation at ttie home of his infancy. Recuperated by the short vacation, the great minds THE E UNO MIAN. of the class were much agitated. They had arrived at the conclusion that something must be done very soon. But what should it be? For several days the boys might have been seen in solemn conclave diving into the innermost depths of their capacious pockets in the vain search for a quarter; i. e. result, — one fine Sunday morning thirty-five infantile persons might have been seen during meeting gazing profoundly at the decorations and oil paintings in the space above, no doubt trying to devise some possible means of getting rid of those confounded collars. It was shortly after this that the class became very much excited as to whether or not we should invite the Juniors, our associate class, to be present at the Class Supper. Party spirit ran high, debate waxed strong, eloquence flew around quite recklessly, and matters were fast coming to a crisis. Finally the anti-inviters triumphed, and ' 81 was excluded on the grounds that they might laugh at our humble literary productions. The Freshmen of course feel very much concerned for the welfare of the next class above them, and when faint rumor whispered that the Sophs were going to plant their tree, a noble ambition entered the souls of ' 83 to do some deed that would ennoble, aye, exalt their class to the skies. Should we follow ' 82 ' s example? or should we profit by the kindly advice of the President? Long and animated was the discus-, sion among the wise noddles of the class. Ha! Ha! We have it! they cried; instead of cutting down the tree we will supply it with a benediction and plenty of Adam ' s pure ale ; we will bless the sprout. Oh, sublime thought ! thus to return good for evil. Accordingly, next morning, before old Sol had yet sent forth his penetrating beams on the dewy grass, we formed in solid phalanx and marched forward in silent, military array. We assembled round that tree; we sprinkled it with the same clear liquid with which we drank to its health; and the noble Pidgeon, poised in air above, shouted forth its praise in an inspiring hymn. When this great, self-sacrificing act had been accomplished, we returned, feeling, not exalted, but, if the truth must be told, rather sheepish. THE E UNO MIAN. 49 The class Avas initiated into Swarthmore ' s gay life of festivities by a reception tendered to us by ' 81. It seems that at the first of the year there had existed a sort of e strangement between the classes; but when the Juniors so handsomely entertained us for a ivhole evening with bean- bags, whistles, and penny toys, how could our hearts help warming to them? In fact, we wept for joy at being allowed once more to return to the innocent amusements of child- hood; and since then the best of feeling exists betw een the classes. (It might be apropos to remark here that w e have practiced the same wiles and enchantments on ' 85, with, w e hope, an equally good effect.) In accordance with a time honored custom, the Sophomores were challenged to a friendly contest a la Diogenes to be j)addled on the crystal waters of the River Crum. It is needless to say that our worthy representatives succeeded in carrying off the palm of victory, cheered on by the enthusing cry of Rah! Rah! Rah! S. C! ' 83!, the first class yell ever introduced at Swarthmore. On that and on all similar occasions ' 83 has always been ready to encourage its cham- pions and to shout itself hoarse at short notice. Some of the most pleasant days of the whole year were spent in decorating the Study Room for Junior Day. As we had already decided not to invite the Juniors to the Class supper, a feeling was entertained that Ave ought, speaking figuratively, to lay ourselves out. And we did, decorating the Study Room as it had never been done before, and sparing neither money nor labor, to make our part of the day a success. But the glory and splendor of the Freshman Year were fast draAving to a close. Final examinations over, all remaining thought and energy Avas directed towards the one object of every Freshman — the Class Supper. Great Avas the anticipation, and glorious AA as the realization. The tables fairly groaned beneath the profusion of luxuriant fruits and refreshments. Sparkling lemonade rapidly disappeared at each succeeding toast, the universal joy being tempered only by thoughts of those Avho Avould not return. 50 THE EUNOMIAN. Too quickly did the lazy summer months glide by, and yet gladly, in the golden days of September, did the class return to seek the shelter of Swarthmore ' s co-educational walls. The Sophomore Eoom, the new seat of action, welcomed to its genial comforts no less than thirty-eight sprightly Sopho- mores. After the first interchange of greetings was over, many familiar faces were found missing, and in their places a few new ones. Again could the class congratulate itself upon being larger than any of its predecessors in the Sopho- more Year. The novelty of opening week having worn off, all settled down to the usual routine life, the greatest excite- ment being the daily discussions of Swarthmore ' s Bill of Fare. During the exciting times of the Presidential Campaign, the uneasy spirits of the class were much exercised to display their ingenuity and patriotism. The pictures which had been placed in the Sophomore Room for the delectation of its occupants did not fail to suggest to these active brains useful as well as an ornamental application ; and they (the pictures — not the boys) were frequently seen hiding their faces as if in disgrace, while upon their backs were the inspiring inscriptions ; Gar- field and Arthur, ' Hancock and English, Weaver and Thompson. Such pranks as these prompted the President, in one of his confidential talks with us, to quote the scriptural passage relating to casting pearls before swine. The result of the election was announced, and, wonderful to relate, we were to celebrate it with a bonfire and all the appropriate ceremonies. Fortunately, the pent-up feelings of the class, the extra amount of vitality that its members always possessed, were to have an outlet. Long and loud did the welkin ring ; strong and lusty did the Sophs cheer , each repetition of that wonderful first-class-yell-at-Swarthmore seemed to add re- newed energy to the strong lungs of ' 83. The Freshmen had by this time conjured up a feeble imitation, but it was not to be compared with ours ; and louder yet did air resound to the stentorian tones of Eah! Rah! Rah! S. C. ' 83! The cele- bration over, the class returned to the Sophomore Room, with joy that was unspeakable above a whisper. THE E UNO MIAN. 51 The Christmas holidays soon came to gladden the heart of many a youth and maiden, and quicker yet did they vanish, like a dream. Whether it was sadness at leaving home or joy upon returning once more to the protecting wings of our Alma Mater that caused the remarkable develojjment of poetical talent in the class, has long remained an unsolved problem. Poems, of more or less merit, seemed to spring from every direction and to be written on every subject- poems of love, poems of sorrow, poems of tragedy, comedy, all in an inextricable, inexj)licable confusion. High hopes were entertained of the class, our budding poets giving great promise of future renown. The Epicurean esjaecially solicited conti ' ibutions from Sophomores. But this glory was only ephemeral; like glittering meteors that appear above the horizon, blaze brilliantly for awhile, and then fall, these poetic stars of ours sank into the misty atmosphere, and left us quite without hope. As an offset to their disapjDointed expectations, a number of the class took refuge in that social element, for which some of them are still distinguished, and the poems of love were succeeded by messages of condole- ment, sweetly tempered with brotherly and sisterly devotion. The winter months passed by and gave place to stormy, blustering March. A fitting time was this for the first appear- ance of the class before an audience! The occasion was the Sophomore Public Day. But here a difficulty was encounter- ed. Those who were to speak irrevocably decided that they would not speak in the day time, urging as a reason that gas-light was a necessity, it having those peculiar pro serties which lend a good appearance to the speaker and promote his success. But the Faculty said, No ! Nature has furnish- ed the only light by which you shall be guided. Then arose mutterings of a storm, with bold declarations and defiant attitudes. Discretion, however, soon got the better of valor, and they bowed their wills in submission to the powers that be. The exercises themselves were all that could be desired, — a credit to the speakers and an honor to the class. 52 THE E UNO MIAN. Another and even greater subject now demanded atten- tion — the Class Tree ' the bond of union between us, the object of our interest and care, and the emblem of our future growth and prosperity. After careful consideration a sweet- gum was decided upon, and the day of planting was appointed. Dark and cold was the night ; the ground was covered with a thin film of snow, and matters were anything but auspic- ious. But just as we deposited the slendor form of our beloved tree in the ground, the clouds broke, the stars shone clear overhead. Thus shall it be with your lives, said the voice of the oracle. Pennies, for good luck, were thrown into the hole, as an offering, stirring addresses were made, a poem was read, and the singers of the class joined in with their sweet refrains. A grand dance and a prolonged cheer wound up the ceremonies. Again did success attend our representatives in the Tub Race, the winner of last year be- ing less in-Cline-d than ever to yield the honor of first place to our rivals, — this year the Freshmen. A very enjoyable evening was spent as the guests of ' 81. The magic witticisms of King Unpronounceable seemed to shed a corresponding ray of brilliancy over the whole com- pany. Merry song and jovial laughter were indicative of the general pleasure. The Sophomore Year was indeed a delightful one, and probably the most enjoyable, if not the most profitable, of all the college course. It was in this year that the class boasted of those musical abilities for which it has always been more or less distinguished. Possessing three string scrapers, a cornet tooter, two flute squeakers, any num- ber of harmonica fiends, and being able, by a little scraping, to present a triple quartette, — all this out of a membership of thirty-eight, — the class certainly was a musical one. Decorating for ' 81, class supper, and all the gay festivities of Commencement week, closed the year. The class had never received any serious injury from over-study, and we left the Sophomore Room, with its belligerent array of June Bugs, fully resolved that the coming year, as Juniors, should see nothing but hard work. THE E UNO MIAN. 53 The period of Jolly Juniors found us gathered together with our numbers reduced to twenty, all fresh from the summer ' s vacation, and bent upon making the Junior Year one long to be remembered for its joviality and good feeling. Alas ! the oft repeated declarations that henceforth pleasure should be duly tempered with studiousness were soon forgot- ten in the enjoyment of our manifold privileges. An actuality ! aye, for a fact, we could use the Front Door ! With what a keen appreciation of our advantages did we, smiling scorn- fully on the less fortunate Sophs and Freshies, walk with majestic tread, past the envious glances of the lower classes, and through the massive portals of Swarthmore ' s entrance. All formality and stiffness were laid aside; the evenings were spent in singing (with due regard for the sharp-eared profes- sors), and the playing of games, — prominent among M hich was shuffle board, the game that has furthered the ruin of more than one of Swarthmore ' s richly woven table covers. But too cruel were the Fates. Ten days had scarcely elapsed when that fearful fiend, resisting all human efforts to overcome it, enveloped our dear old college in its devouring flames. All the long, dreary night of the 25th and 26th of September did the greedy monster dart hither and thither, consuming everything in its path; and when the morning broke ' , of the beautiful building that once adorned the spot, nothing was left but a mass of charred walls and smoking ruins. Happily, ' 83 passed safely through the fiery ordeal, and the morning trains found its members, arrayed in all kinds of picturesque and fanciful costumes, and carrying numerous odd looking bundles, all betaking themselves home, resembling somewhat a crowd of aristocratic tramps. Combustile Swarthmore Avas no more; but the institution still lived, for in less than a fortnight the class was again united in the mediaeval capital of Delaware County. Much had we heard of this celebrated seat of antiquity ; how the students of a neighboring academy were noted for their ferocity, how beautiful were the young ladies of a certain seminary, and how closely they would be guarded from the 54 THE E UNO MIAN. baneful eyes of a Swarthmore student, and how fearfully conservative were the Medes. But, discarding all apprehen- sion, the class settled down in the new quarters much the same as usual, experience proving ' that we had been deceived in Media as much as the people of that town were mistaken in Swarthmore. The various inconveniences and drawbacks of our new abodes rendered all solid study out of the question, and the class, with a sigh, resigned itself once more to life ' s easy enjoyment. A class room was appropriated as a substi- tute for the Junior Room. Here the evenings were whiled away in each others company; here the Class Society, which still flourished, held its bi-weekly meetings and discussed the merits ' pro and con of the different authors. Debates were rejected as being confined too much to the boys, and the exercises consisted of learned essays and lectures on Shakes- peare, Milton, and other great names in literature. The class still kept up its reputation for sociality, and it M as during this year that we noticed the first budding of our celebrated class quartette, — not of music but of mutual admiration. It is often said that misfortunes do not come singly, and this is true with respect to ' 83. Not content with robbing us of our beloved college buildings, the sinister fates had ordered that our class tree, planted with so much care the previous year and watched with so much solicitude, must die. The severe summer drought had killed it; all that was left was the withered stump. A ne ' tree of the same species was selected, and one beautiful afternoon in the latter part of October the class visited Swarthmore. With appropriate ceremonies the new tree was planted on the exact spot where its predecessor had stood, twenty-one pennies being thrown in as an incentive for its growth. The tree still lives, and when, ten years from to-day, the class returns once more to its Alma Mater, we hope to see its growth emblematic of our success in life ' s stormy tide. The kindly feeling that ' 83 has always endeavored to exhibit towards the other classes was more marked than ever this year. During the stormy times of the election for officers THE E UNO MIAN. 55 of the Skating Committee, when Senior and Sophomore were arrayed against Junior and Freshman, matters became decidedly serious, and had it not been for a timely compro- mise there is no knowing how the affair would have ended. Seniors and Juniors were especially good friends — quite a contrast to what has usually been the case ! — and a mock trial was held in which both joined. So eloquently has this been dilated upon by ' 82 ' s Historian that I will pass it by, simply stating that the trial was a grand success, but that the jury could not agree, owing to a misunderstanding of the premises by the lawyers. The wild wave of sestheticism that o ' erspread the country did not fail to reach Swarthmore, and the gay Juniors neglected not to be in conformity with the times. An Evening of JEstheticism was held, and the members, decked in pristine flowers and carrying amaranthine lilies, aped the true Esthete in many a startling couplet of super-abundant adjectives. A pressing invitation had been extended to Oscar to be pres- ent, but at the last moment a soulfully transparent note of regret was received. A very pleasant evening was also spent in company with ' 85. Tableaux and games, duly sprinkled with candy, formed the order, according to Swarthmore ' s extensive (?) hospitality. The winter months passed swiftly by, and with their departure came practicing for Public Days. After a due amount of walking between Chestnut Grove and Institute Hall, the speakers, with trembling limbs and hair on end, ascended the rickety old platform, in mortal fear lest the paralytic boards precipitate them to regions unknown. No accident occurred to mar the day; and, encouraged by the success, our athletes were enabled to capture five medals and seven parchments at the Spring Meeting of the S. C. A. A. It seems that the austere and learned members of the Epicurean Staff, either considering their own redundant ability or ' 83 ' s natural dumbness, and in opposition to the idea of the foundation of the manuscript, neglected to choose any representatives from the Junior Class. Naturally some- ' 3f 56 THE EUNOMIAN. what stung by the implied slur, and with a desire to see Swarthmore hold a prominent place among colleges, eight of our number boldly determined to embark upon the troubled sea of journalism. Deciding, however, that the true college paper could not emanate from a class publication, and gener- ously recognizing the fact that all the knowledge of the institution was not confined to one class, members from other classes were chosen on the board of editors, and the Phoenix was a reality. Their efforts have l een amply rewarded by seeing Swarthmore rapidly take a front rank in the arena of college publications. The Phoenix is an honor to its founders and to our Alma Mater. Gladly did all welcome the rapidly approaching end of the college year, when we would ])e released from our cramped quarters, and could once more stretch aching limbs and rest wearv brains. The first of June saw the Grove and Gayley deserted, but we did not leave them without regret; for, despite the inconveniences, our year in Media is one to be ever remembered with pleasure, if not with satisfaction. Time indeed can work many changes, but hardly could we believe our senses when on the 25th of September, 1882, just one year from the time of the fire, the class, returning, beheld the magnificient structure that now covers the site of the old building. Recollections of past years came crowding up before our memories, and the class with one accord felt thankful that gracious Providence had not only shielded us from the clutches of the fire, but had restored to us our cherished college walls, now more beautiful than ever. Once again, and for the last time, did the class mourn the loss of some of its members; three of them had not returned. But there was no time for reflection on the past; all felt that the Senior Year must be one of work. With what joy did we welcome further additions to our manifold privileges. The Senior girls could really take walks in groups of four, and all could enjoy the inestimable concession of leaving the college without permits. For the convenience of lazy memories, the Faculty, in their all-wise THE EUNOMIAN: 57 forethought, had caused to be posted in the Senior Room a copy of the new Rules and Regulations. Ah! kind fore- thought, and wonderful result! Xow no longer can it be said that Seniors behave in an undignified manner; the mere mention of whistling or singing would shock anv of us, and as for sitting on the table — all these improprieties are of the past; the rules have worked like a charm. Like all Senior Classes we desired to go chestnutting, but unlike some of them, we didn ' t go. In vain did we remonstrate with the stern President; but no, we were not old enough — could not be trusted. The inevitable class badge next claimed our attention; long and carefully did we consider the question. A great diversity of opinion prevailed. Some thought that it would be a right nice idea to have some design placed on a cane; but what would the girls do with canes? Watches, charms, rings, were suggested. Finally the decision rested upon the elegaiit badge that now adorns each member. After much mustering of courage and considerable haranguing, seven of the eleven boys actually grew bold enough to say that they would astonish Swarthmore by coming out in stove-pipes; but when the final moment came two only were able to keep their courage up to the sticking point. The work of the Senior Year was no child ' s play, as we soon found out. The hea ' y chemics were almost worn out with work, having only one vacant period during the week, which was usually spent by the entire department of one, sitting on the front steps of Science Hall, while universal and loud was the cry against those terrible abstracts. Although thus worked very hard, the co-ed cpiartette still found time to indulge in out-door sjjorts — skating, coasting, and tennis. The rest of the class, knowing their weakness for each others societ} , kindly yielded to them all rights and privileges of the Senior Room. With a view to advancing good fellowship among the classes, an invitation was extended to them to be present in the Parlors the latter part of January ; and later on, in con- 58 THE E UNO MIAN. junction with the classes, another meeting was held. Both meetings were as successful as such occasions usually are at Swarthmore. As the spring months approached, Senior Exhibition was the all engrossing thought. Like all things, it came and passed; the class acquitted itself creditably, the original productions being well received. Great was the preparation and rife was the expectation of the Fancy Dress Party given to 85. Members of the two classes racked their brains try- ing to imagine all kinds of impossible costumes, and when the important evening arrived one marvelled at the great variety of dress display. William Penn might have been seen in animated discussion with Oscar; Little Buttercup was entrancing an old fellow of the sixteenth century; and the Alligator wandered around regardless, creating dire con- fusion and dismay wherever he went. Class Society fell into a sad state of decline early in the year, and it was deemed necessary to banish it entirely. The number of class meetings held has been simply marvellous. Hey, there! Class Meeting! Class Meeting! were the cheering words that greeted us at every turn. Committees have also been numerous, each member of the class averaging about five committees. And the Ivy Planting — well, the less said about that the better. As the matter now rests, after not less than ten motions and reconsiderations, it is decided that we will not plant any Ivy to-day, that we will not have an Ivy Ode, nor an Ivy Oration. But this is by no means final ; the class may at any moment in the next hour take it into their heads to reconsider the last motion. But, beware I In the pursuance of the kind invitation of one of its members, the class spent a most enjoyable evening in Phil- adelphia about the first of May. Horrible visions of final examinations. Class Day, and Commencement were forgotten in the pleasure of the moment, and all felt better for the short respite from study. The finals came thick and fast; but the end of the week found us still alive, having, unlike some of our predecessors. THE EUNOMIAN. 59 passed safe and sound through our college course without the assistance of outriders — no sale of ponies accompanies the demise of ' 83. Small in numbers, but great in spirit, we have successfully encountered and conquered all our various trials, the ups and downs of our college life. Whether the class of ' 83 deserves praise or condemnation, the unbiased historian leaves in the hands of a charitable audience to decide. At the close of the last act in the drama of their college life, let fall the curtain of time and fasten it with the golden pin of memory. Feed. A. Seaman, Je. 60 THE EUXOMIAX. 1?0EM. As one who lies upon a sloping hillside, While the soft twilight ends a summer day, Hearing with dreamy eyes and thoughts far-reaching, Voices of children singing at their play, Listens, yet hears above the dreamy murmur Ever his own heart beating to the tune, Ever his own thoughts, reaching far behind him, Down the long aisles of life ' s enchanted bloom. So we, whose day of happy life together Sinks into twilight, soon to merge into night ; We whose hearts, in calm or stormy weather. Anchored us fast in friendship ' s golden light. Listen to-day to catch the dying murmur Beneath the present, sounding soft and low. Born from the land where rest, in peaceful slumber. Visions and dreams that blessed the long ago. Glowing with light, the world is all before us, Hope sheds its sunshine o ' er the path we tread. Bright is the eartli whose beauties lie around us. Bright is the Heaven bending overhead. Kind words and voices greet us at the threshold Of the great portal opening into life ; Manhood and womanhood, with their crown of labor, Call us to share with tliem the battle ' s strife. Still, beneath the summons of the Present, Even the Past will gently claim its own ; Still sweet voices, calling from the distance. Speak to our hearts in memory ' s ceaseless tone, Under the joy there hides a thought of sadness ; L ' nder the sunshine shadows cross the sky ; While to our ears the balmy breeze of summer Bears a reproach from the dear days gone by. Starry nights, and sunny days of pleasure, Hours of toil, and hours of leisure free. Sunshine, dancing on the wind-rocked grasses. Birds, whose songs are heard from evei-y tree. Voices of friends, and sounds of haj py laughter, Parting and meeting, winds and water ' s flow, Bid us return, before we cross tlie border, And tread again the land of long ago. THE E UNO MIAN. 61 Where lies the land of dream-land, hopes and fancies ? Far, far away, where golden islands gleam. Where fairy ships, with fairy treasures laden, Rock on the ripples of its placid stream. Seen from afar, it lies in purple shadow. Bathed in a glory not of sea or land ; Sorrow, and pain, and sound of worldly voices Break in soft ripples on its quiet strand. Classmates, once more we ' ll launch our boats together, Having no fear tliat evil can betide ; Four happy years, in mild and quiet weather. Life ' s changing current we ' ve breasted side by side. Over the river, towards the pui ' ple island, Once more we ' ll sail until the golden sand Grates on our keel, and to us gentle breezes Waft balmy odors from the fairy strand. Down by the stream are those who early left us, E ' re yet our vessel reached its journey ' s end ; Gladly they welcome us, at last returning, Gladly again we greet them, friend to friend. For in the cloudland of this j)urple island Years are forgotten, past scenes live anew ; Mirth and enjoyment wake again from silence, Even our fancies seem to live as true. Linger a moment ' neath the quiet shadows. Are they all gone, these happy golden years ? Can we return them, in the coming future, Naught but the homage of silence and of tears ? Listen ! sweet as music o ' er the waters Answers a voice : The Past is always thine ; Only thyself can change tlie years whose presence Lingers the same throughout all space and time ! The moments pass. Again we reach the shore : Upon the breeze the sail is floating wide. Sadly we turn our faces from the island, While our barque drifts upon the ebbing tide. Out from the shore float sounds of song and laughter,. Faint and more faintly, as the echoes fall ; Then around us, e ' re we reach the current. Glitters the sunlight, and silence over all. O land of beauty, sinking in the shadow, We, whose paths are passing from thy sight, Turn wistful glances to thy happy valleys. Bathed in the glory of the sunset light. 62 THE EUNOMIAN. Over our heads the gleam of dying beauty- Showers benediction, ' ere its glories cease, Whispers its message e ' re the veil descending Hides from our view the shadow-land of peace. Far down the stream that stretches out befoi ' e us Diamonds and pearls are si arkling in the light ; Long beams of splendor fall athwart our pathway, Flooding the waters with a radiance bright. What though the veil has fallen o ' er the island ! ■Still through its folds the light will pierce the gloom, Showing fair flowers upon the river ' s border. Woods shrined in beauty, fields of summer bloom. Classmates, we end our happy voyage together. For each a boat waits, rocking on the wave ; But what care we what shores our barques may visit. What far-off waters may our vessels lave ? Still for each the light will guide our ]3athway. Shining for aye from happy fields of youth ; Still will the memory of the days long-vanished Guard in our hearts the magic charm of truth. If, in the sunlight, boats should cross each other, Gladly we ' ll send our greetings o ' er the tide ; Love will unite us, though the sea be stormy. Though the wind rages o ' er the waters wide. If, in the tempest, dangers e ' er should threaten. True be our hearts, and sti-ong our helping hand : Stout be our boats, to bear a shipwrecked brother Safe to the shelter of the quiet land. When at last the voyage all is ended. And the long shadows creep to evening ' s breast, Once more together, after years of parting. May we all enter the shadow-land of rest. The Past behind, the Future all before us. Once more together may we reach the shore. And hear, within the shelter of the harbor, The quiet waters rolling evermore. Alice W. Jackson. THE E UNO MIAN. 63 gr OPHEGY. FAR above the bustle and whirl of busy life, towers a mountain, whose hollowed crest is a chalice of sweet waters, — the lake is bright and sparkling, the trees that €dge its margin are staunch old patriarchs that whisper, with every passing breeze, words of good cheer and enduring faith. Tread reverently, for this is enchanted ground, here the, God- dess of Fate unrolled the Future to mortal gaze. With thoughts steadily fixed on the Future, with Silence standing sentinal at the door of the heart, I heard that voice which few are privileged to hear, bidding me gaze into the mirror rippling at my feet. Slowly the waters became calm, and the cloud I saw reflected rolled away as I beheld : — Fields of waving grain, and orchards, bending beneath their ripening fruits, pasture lands, dotted with herds of grazing cattle, and, nestling among a clump of trees, a cottage with roses nodding a welcome from every nook and corner. This farm is, as of old, on the outskirts of the busy little town that is seen in the distance, and is the centre of attrac- tion for many miles around. It is the home of one of the most learned men of the day. He, ho carried off the honors in •one of our prominent colleges, has continued to win laurels, and to wear them with the same unassuming grace. The business qualities, so well developed in his younger days, he now utilizes in his agricultural life, May prosperity and honor walk hand and hand with him even down into the dark valley, illuminating that last hour with the radiance which ever makes the Future glorified ! The next scene presented is a room, indicating by its ap- pointments the office of a dentist. While wondering if some of our girls have entered upon this lately-opened field, whether they thus wish to illustrate a new profession for women, a 64 THE E UNO MI AN. tall, broad-shouldered gentleman enters. His walk seems familiar, and the toss of the head causes some of the old an- tagonistic feeling to arise. He still remains unfamiliar, however, when, glancing downward, some of the by-gone jokes and quizzes are recalled as I recognize him to be the stylish member of a class that once walked the halls of Swarth- more. A large, English villa, surrounded by stately elms, all indicating wealth and taste ! Entering the imposing dwelling we are surprised to find that one of New Jersey ' s daughters dwells therein. Alas ! our songstress has proven fickle, has forsaken the walks of sand, and groves of pine for the Eng- lish hedge, and the English oak. Yet one link still binds her to Spanish soil, — her husband, a staunch, true friend in the old days keeps her memory green of the old home and associations. The scene now shows us a wild and stormy night with wind and rain sweeping pitilessly along a country road, as if bent on hurling aside every obstruction in its path. We can scarcely distinguish the horse and carriage plodding slowly through the storm ; and it is only by a flash of lightning, that we recognize the large, steady blue eyes of the occupant, peering forth so anxiously for the familiar land-marks. He is a rising physician of West Chester, whose increasing prac- tice allows him to call no moment his own which is not de- voted to the alleviation of suffering. A breeze ripples, as with laughter, the surface of the lake, but, as it passed away, and the waters again became calm, I only saw two cards suspiciously tied with white ribbon. Aye ! it is the first marriage. In graduating they were not divided, and this was but a foreshadowing of that which was to come. No need to hope that the bells rang merrily, or to wish them long life and much happiness, when that lies within their faithful hearts, active life and loving example. Ontario has the honor to be chosen as the home for one of the band of ' 83. It belonged to a son of New Jersey to guide the plough around the village of Sparta, to infuse THE EUNOMIAN. 65 Yankee pluck and activity into her industries. The Protec- tive Tariif, however, still fetters commerce and its sister industry, — agriculture ; but as our energetic friend continues to send forth his denunciations, we may hope to see this shackle torn asunder and commerce as free as the air. Boston, the Athens of America, has added one more jewel to the brilliant circle that sheds such luster upon her name. The small, dark-eyed lady, who moves so swiftly along its streets, carries with her a potency which makes the whole world kin. She is a brilliant composer, whose magic touch awakens alike both tears and laughter. Her home is the centre of a coterie of famous men and women, no less talented than those dazzling lights which have made the name of Haddon House so celebrated. Time, touch her but lightly with thy transfiguring wand, and render the melodies of joy and sorrow not only an everlasting monument to her genius but the gracious tribute to the life of a noble woman ! A Friends Meeting with that solemn and impressive silence lingering over all ! Among those, who occupy the high place of the meeting, we see one whose fair face and small statue recalls our gentle, kindly class-mate. He rises and utters a few words in a clear, impressive voice. Words which are in accordance with his peaceful countenance, and are born of experiences, which can only spring from a noble, upright walk in life. The figure of a lady with gray eyes and dark brown hair, which seem strangely familiar, appears. She still resides in that city whose attractions are so innumerable that it requires a month ' s residence before anything can be seen. Her home is, as of old, the centre of her thoughts, and its walls enclose her little world. Deem not her work a petty thing, you who walk in the broader fields of life ; for you, who judge it so, must somewhere miss that lovely influence, which breathes from every nook and corner of a true home, and renders life restful and content ! In the land of the Adobe, the land where blinding sunshine sheds its heat upon the stifling earth, only to be reflected in 66 THE EUNOMIAN. its intensity a hundred fold, one of America ' s greatest achieve- ments is claiming the attention of the world. The canal at Tehuantepec is almost completed. The chief engineer of this vast undertaking is one of Alma Mater ' s most illustrious children. The calmness of manner, the reticence of character, was but a stronghold in which lurked the great and powerful mind that the half-veiled eyes and immovable features could not entirely conceal. This enterprise, of such inestimable value to commerce, stamps his name forever on the pages of recorded history. A large granite building, lifting its stately height far above the surrounding structures ! It is the long hoped for, much- needed State University of New York, — one more link in the Republican line of fortification. Among its cor]3S of pro- fessors is a brown-haired lady of medium height, who once taught in a certain memorable class-room. The success of this institution is, in a great measure, due to her executive ability. As we observe the perfect order and undivided attention of her pupils, we believe her influence to be an ever-AAadening one of eminence and distinction. Away down South in Dixie Land, in the country of genial air, and genial people, we find our genial Uncle Sam, gay and light-hearted as ever. Wealth and infiuence have shed their happiness upon him and he stands to-day one of the most prominent men of the South. As an engineer he won his early laurels, and with them has crowned his country, improved his fellow-man, and, in all respects, his philan- thropic nature has invigorated and improved the South. The front of the Capitol at Washington next claims our attention. It is the moment when the people of the United States are to witness the solemn and impressive ceremony, — the inauguration of their President. As the Chief Justice steps forward to administer the oath, as he stands their in all the dignity of his office, we recognize the dark, flashing eyes and noble bearing of our Indian Chief. A patient and active, upright life thus receives its crown of fruition ! THE EUNOMIAN. 67 The scene again changes to the sunny South. A small cottage over which are twining vine and flower, while every leaf seems to quiver with joyous life, and to break forth in song ! Outwardly it is a nest of singing birds, inwardly the abode of peace and happiness. Sitting at a window is its mistress. Tall of form, and fair of face is she whose mirth- ful eyes and mobile mouth indicate the loving, gentle lady. Her life has indeed been a happy one with just enough sorrow to make brighter the sunshine. A manly arm protects her from the world ' s trials, while childish hands plant the tender blossoms that make her life a rich and happy one. In a handsomely furnished house in Philadelphia sits a gentleman with care-worn brow and anxious eyes. His countenance bears the impress of a life that has brought him many cares and responsibilities. He, who was once our Editor, is now a well-known journalist ; from his pen flow words that ever support the weak, denounce the wrong, and rouse to action the good in his fellow-men. His name is rapidly fulfilling the anticipations of those whose hopes were so high in his behalf, and yet were so pfteu cast down with fear. The door opens admitting a burst of sunshine that fairly seems to radiate from the new-comer, whose glasses shine with good-will upon the thoughtful man before him, and dispel care as if by magic. There they stand the chums of college days, the rising Journalist and the prosperous Senator ; the two of whom so much had been expected and who have realized those expectations so successfully. A low rambling farm-house standing in the midst of lofty pine trees that sift the golden sunlight over gabled roof and vine-wreathed porch. Through the open door we see coming down the broad stairs a golden-haired lady around whose head the molten sunbeams cast a halo. Pine Glen is famous in song and story as the home of the greatest living poet. From this retreat go forth sparkling gems that make the literary world shine with renewed brilliancy. No need to ask the name of this famous child of song, for a flood of moonlight pours down its silvery sheen, enveloping in its THE E UNO MIAN. mellow mantle a silver-haired lady and gentleman who bend so lovingly above her. It tells us that Faith and Hope have blossomed into perfect Peace ; that the wish of girlhood has become the crown of womanhood. Slowly the picture fades, but the moonlight lingers still, and I awake to find myself in a narrow room in Swarthmore. ' Twas but a dream ! but its memory lingers forever, and its radiance grows brighter and brighter, as I mount in thought those four well-worn steps which lead to the Present. ' Twas but a dream ! but dreams are sometimes more than passing shadows. May you find this one a reality, and so realize all its happiness and high hopes. May your Alma Mater ever look with pride upon the children, who, with hopeful hearts, but fondly lingering looks, go forth to-morrow across the threshold they never more may tread ! Bertha Matlack. THE EL NO MIAN. 69 SiTAJIiISTIGS. FRIENDS and Fellow Students :— My part of to-day ' s performance is to present to you in brief, some of the characteristics and general statistics of the class of ' 83. The subject, I am fully aware, is a dry one ; statistics, though sometimes ludicrous, generally are dry, and it is with no little hesitation, that I ask your attention for a few moments. The total age of the class is 366 years, 124 days ; average age, 20 years, 128|- days; average age of ladies, 20 years, 31 8|- days ; oldest lady, F. N. H., 23 years, 144 days ; young- est lady, A. E. T., 18 years, 302 days; oldest man, C. S. P., 21 years, 44 days; youngest man, S. D. M., 19 years, 55 days. The total height, 100 feet, 6 J inches ; average height, 5 feet, 7 inches ; average height of ladies, 5 feet, 3J inches ; average height of men, 5 feet, 10 J inches; tallest lady, A. E. T., 5 feet, 7 inches : shortest lady, E. W., 4 feet, llf inches ; tallest man, J. L. C, 6 feet, | inches ; shortest man, C. S. P., 5 feet, 5f inches. Total weight 2329 pounds ; average weight, 129| pounds; average weight of ladies, 107 pounds ; average weight of men, 143 pounds ; heaviest lady, H. C. P., 130 pounds ; lightest lady, A. W. J., 93 J pounds ; heaviest man, J. L. C, 169 pounds; lightest man, C. S. P., 115 pounds. Total length of feet, 14 feet, 8 inches; average length, 9- inches ; average length of ladies ' feet, 8|- inches ; average length of gentlemens ' feet, 10 inches ; lady having largest feet, A. E. T., 9 J inches ; lady having smallest feet, E. W., 8 inches ; man having largest feet, your humble servant, measurement 1 1 inches ; man having smallest feet, C. S. P., 9f inches. With regard to Politics there are 13 Independent Repub- licans, 1 Stalwart Republican, 2 Democrats, 1 Greenbacker, 70 THE E UNO MIAN. and, 1 on the fence. On religion the class is somewhat divided ; there are 11 Friends, 1 Presbyterian, 1 Episcopalian, 1 belonging to the big church, and 4 undecided. Our Prospective Occupations are as follows : 3 will follow engineering as a means of livelihood ; 2 will become teachers ; 1 will attempt farming ; 2 will become housekeepers ; 1 will study music and painting; 1 will study law; 1 will study dentistry ; the remainder as yet undecided. Number wearing high hats, 2 ; number wearing glasses, 3 ; number having side whiskers, 2 ; number having moustaches, 2 ; number trying to have moustaches, 2 ; number who would like to have moustaches, 9 ; number having fuzz, 1, our noble Indian, Kickapoo ; Champion tennis couple, H. C. P. and C. A. B. ; greatest talker, L. S. G. ; laziest member — this was a point hard to decide, but the Statistican after due deliberation, confers the honor upon J. L. C. ; member with largest nose, F. A. S., Jr. ; member always dead broke, J. E. V. ; member with greatest intellect, E. A. P. ; handsomest member, B. M. ; most innocent, A. E. T. ; quietest, E. W. ; member who always greets you with a smile, E. C. ; most fluent young man, who always has a ready and satisfactory answer, G. L. P. Poetical talent has been remarkably well developed in two cases. One individual being a writer of every variety of verse, with a nom de plume, Olive. The other rose into publicity by composing a College Song, entitled Swarthmore College. To overlook the musical talent would be a just cause for censure. Our pet soprano, F. N. H., if once awakened, (it sometimes takes valuable time to do it), is hard to beat. We have, I think, a sufficient number of artists to organize a tolerably good string band. In our favorite musician, S. D. M., is combined the composer, musical director, basso, and violinist. He well deserves the nick-name, Paganini, given him early in his college course. As to his efficiency as a director you will have ample time to judge when we sing the Class Ode. THE EUNOMIAN. 71 The number of artists is somewhat limited ; I believe they number about five. Of these two are experts with the crayon ; one will in time gain fame as a landscape painter ; the others daub a little in oil, but have given us no opportunity to judge of the quality of their work. Although several of the class are apt to be a little tony we boast of only one dude, J. L. C. The matrimonial prospects give us much anxiety. Four of the members, are, like the great philosopher Comte, suffer- ing from crises (crises of the heart.) One man is reported as engaged, and it is rumored two of the crises are subjects for congratulation, three of the members are susceptible, the remainder are w avering in various degrees of hope and despair.

IF there is any one thing in which Swarthmore excels, that thing undoubtedly is Athletics. Second to none in this respect in this country, it is only to be regretted that the numerous and far-famed Athletes, who swarm on the grounds, cannot take part in the Inter-collegiate sports. They would certainly surprise some of Harvard ' s and Yale ' s cele- brated runners, and show them a clean pair of heels. But as this cannot be, at least for some years to come, we shall have to content ourselves with the honors to be won in our own sports; and patiently wait for the day when we can compete with Harvard and Yale for the Inter-collegiate honors. Our own sports are no baby exhibitions, but trials of strength and speed where good solid muscle is apparent, and plenty of it too.. Imagine yourself, dear reader, at our last field-meeting. It is a warm and beautiful afternoon, and a large and expectant crowd is gathered on the t« o sides of the fiffch-of-a-mile track, eagerly awaiting the coming exciting contests of the day. It is almost two o ' clock, and presently the contestants in the 100 yards dash step briskly out of the commodious dressing-room and promptly toe the scratch. Soon a sharp report is heard and now the men come tearing down the track, neck and neck, and before time to count fifty (that is if you take your time about it) the finish is reached and the race is Avon. Several closely-contested events have passed oif thus, and the spectators refer to their programmes to see what comes next. Ah ! the 440 yards dash, and they say it is the best race of the day. And on consulting our own programmes, we find that this is really the next event, and that two contestants contend for it. One we see is an ' 87 man, and the other a Prep. At the starters call, they step quickly up to the mark ; and, as the pistol is heard, leap suddenly forward, and the race is begun. Now they are rounding the first curve, and Freshie has gained a slight THE EUNOMIAN. 119 lead; but his adversary by a quick spurt soon regains his position alongside, and they go down the other side with not an inch between them. Now they have rounded the home stretch, with the Prep, slightly in the lead. Now both begin a magnificent spurt which is kept up to the finish, Freshie winning the race by a hair ' s breadth. And now amid eighty- seven ' s rousing cheers, the unprecedented time of 80 seconds is announced ! Just think of it ! a whole quarter of a mile run in 80 seconds!!! What Harvard man would not be proud of such a record? Our fine gymnasium offers great inducements for the men to train, and it is very encouraging to see the large number of men, who, long before the date set for the sports, begin a regular course of training there. The track around the inside of the building is a good place to take an occasional run (that is if you want to get choked to death), as there is never a particle of dust as in some gymnasiums. Fitted out as the building is (not) with every imaginable appliance for the cultivation of the muscles of the body, it is no wonder that we have such good sports and such unapproachable records. A few months before every field-meeting if you would take the trouble to walk down to our expensive cinder track (a new kind of cinder, by the way. Chief composition, mud,) you would see a number of men vigorously at work running off superflous flesh, or practicing at the numerous other exercises such as jumping, putting the shot, and the like. Then as each field-meeting succeeds another, our records are improved and our already well-known reputation made higher. There is no doubt but that our spring sports this year will surpass all previous ones, both in point of records and closely-contested events ; so let me close by say- ing, Don ' t fail to see them. 120 THE EUNOMIAN. 5i CO w % =H w M I r « 1 D 1 E 1 M J - _ Q B i M s p  tr] w w - t-l W w 1 =H g w «H td s :z s B B E.g.- o a ' £.o ' S.O I— I 09 I— ( O O H B S-§  ' 2 w 2 S Terpb ronur reign F o h S o ??s p 3-c ■s Pora S ' 2 S2 S «1 § s w g w M CD a 5P ?.2 B W IS.

THE demand for knowledge of the branches that aid in making competent business men, increase yearly. The thinking public recognize the fact that the courses of instruction in most of the public and private schools, as well as colleges, of this country, while of benefit to individuals desiring to follow some of the professions, are of little value to those unshing to become business men. Recognizing this fact, we have perfected a course of instruction and plan of teaching which is the result of twenty years ' constant care, study and experience, and which receives the hearty and unqualified endorsement of the leading merchants of Philadel- phia. This is shown by the fact, that the demand for our pupils to fill positions as secretaries, clerks, correspondents, bookkeepers, cashiers, etc., is so great that notwith- standing our increased patronage, we were unable to fill, more than one-third of the places offered during the past year. Our facilities were never before so complete, our patronage so large, and our course of instruction so thorough, as at the present time. In this institution great care is taken to interest pupils in their studies, to advance them rapidly, and to teach them to be industrious, punctual, neat, quick, honest, cour- teous, and self-reliant. The men in charge of the different departments have been selected for their peculiar fitness for the positions they hold ; they are teachers, and are not mere hearers of lessons. We aim to relieve parents of the two or three hours of teaching which are forced upon them daily by many public and private schools. While there are necessarily some classes, yet most of the instruction is separate. Each pupil is expected to do his best. Slow ones are not forced too rapidly through the course, and bright, energetic ones are not retarded in their progre s until the dull ones comprehend. The increase of patronage in this institution is almost unprecedented ; the attend- ance last year was largely in excess of any previous season, while that of the present year promises to exceed any in the history of the College. To fathers, who have sons whom they wish to secure a practical education, and to young men and women who intend entering business, and who need a knowledge of its branches, forms and customs, we extend a cordial invitation to call and examine the College. Every department, the business houses, and the students ' work, will be open to visitors who are at all times cordially welcomed. Course of Instruction.

MANDRAKE PILLS, The Great Vegetable Substitute for Mercury, Do not produce sickness at the stomach, nausea or griping, On the contrary, they are so mild and agreeahle in their action that a person suffering with sick headache, sour stomach, or pain in the howels, is speedily relieved of these distressing symptoms. They act directly on the liver, the organ which, when in healthy condition, purifies the blood for the whole body. They are a perfect preparation of that great and well known remedy. Mandrake or Podophyllin, a remedy that has displaced the use of mercury, as well as many other poisonous drugs, in the practice of every intelligent physician. Prof John King, of the College of Medicine, Cincinnati, says: In constipation it acts upon the bowels without disposing them to subsequent costiveness. In Chronic Liver Complaint there is not its equal in the whole range of medicines, being vastly more useful than mercurial agents, arousing the liver to healthy action, increasing the flow of bile, and keeping up those actions longer than any other agent with which we are acquainted.

THE EUNOMIAN. THE GENTLEMAN. WHAT CONSTITUTES HIM? A true gentleman is what one seldom sees. — Steele. To make a fine gentleman several trades are required. — GokUmith. Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman. — Emerson. Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him. — lAivke. The real gentleman should be gentle in everything, at least in everything that depends on himself, — in carriage, temper, construction, aims and desires. — Hare. HOW A GENTLEMAN SHOULD DRESS. First, let the coat fit you; but still more, let it fit the occasion. In the morning, wear a suit that expresses quiet, reserved readiness for action — durable in material, close in fit, neutral in color and befitting the season ; in fashion such as prevails, but not overtailored ; in nothing conspicuous. FOE EVENING PARTIES and occasions of great ceremony wear a black dress suit, a white cravat, small in size, without embroidery, spotless and perfectly folded and tied. A plain, simple black tie is admissible. Let your linen be fleckless, the front plain, not over glossy ; your shoes be well polished and neat in shape, thin patent leathers being preferable. Avoid display in jewelry and all fopperies whatever. LAEGE OE SHOWY STUDS or cuff buttons, large watch chains, with charms and white silk coat linings are always vulgar. One fine antique intaglio ring is the height of good taste. Anything false or imitated is unpardonable. Above all let nothing about you intimate that the dress is more than the man. FOE THE COUNTEY or for traveling, choose a light, soft material, flannel shirts (always with white linen cuffs and collars), heavy shoes — everything expressing ease and comfort. FOE HUNTING wear a strong, close-fitting garment that will never tear, never soil, never wear out. Pay especial attention always to your hats and your boots. A gentleman upon the street should always wear gloves either of silk or leather. Never go unbrushed, no matter how fine your attire. Never carelessly permit yourself to become threadbare and shabby — above all, mind your buttons. THEEE THINGS ALWAYS must be considered — comfort, looks, expense, and the gentleman as well as the man is shown by his good sense and good taste in their admixture.
