WANAMAKER ' S. One of the busiest acres of the whole fourteen in! the store is where are sold the games and sporting goods and the thousand-and-one other things that help to make Out-door life and in-door life happier and healthier.. There is no proper plaything that any sound minded boy or girl dreams of but we have it, and the chances are ten, to one that the Wanamaker price is away below the common price We deal in ' toys arid sporting articles just as we deal in other goods — buy for the least that knowing how: arid taking big ' lots make possible, and sell at a modest profit. Hovv strange to think of; only a ' ;. modest profit on sporting gear ! TJiat isn ' t what you are used toi But maybe you don ' t know it. ' ; Take Tennis or Base Ball, for example, or Cro- quet or Cricket. Compare the average dealer ' s price with Wanamaker ' s — quality for quality. That ' s the test. If you want the best that is made, we have it ; if you simply want he good, we have it Anything above the mean and worthless. The rule is : Nothing of any kind that is not worthi your buying ; anything that is. A price-list of sporting things for the asking. J,OHN WANAMAKER, Philadelphia.. 1037 CHESTNUT STREET.

HORACE BAKER FORMAN, Jr. Prologue. Oh, Halcyon, nursling of our tend ' rest care. Thou whom we ' ve watched from day to day unfold Thy leaves, with beating heart and joy untold. Too soon must we give up in thee our share, Consign thee with thy beauties rich and rare, To a capricious public, — there to meet Not always praise and commendation sweet. But be thy mission, howsoe ' er thou fare, To mirror in thy pages pure and bright Our college life in many a different phase ; That thus through thee it may be shared afar By kindly friends. And so, with lingering gaze, We send thee now abroad to do thy mite. Farewell, fulfil thy mission, — make or mar. DITORI?lb. OLLOWING the custom established by the Class of ' 84, the present Junior Class publish a Halcyon, with the aim and intent both of confirming this cus- tom and of giving to our friends and fellow collegians a suitable memoir of the Class of ' 89, a record of college events for the past year, and a deline- ation of the follies and foibles of stud- ent life. We have, with more freedom than has been cus- tomary, pointed out the peculiarities of our fellow students, and have attempted to chronicle for the benefit of the au- thorities, some of the prevailing abuses. We believe this to be in the province of a college annual, and in this belief we request the indulgence of all. If any think we have been severe, pardon us. Let each take in good part what was written in good faith and with no prejudiced feelings. Since the issue of the last Halcyon, many important and notable events have transpired, which it becomes us to chronicle. The standard of the College has been raised by the zealous efforts of our excellent corps of professors and by the untiring energy of our President. The number of students in the College has increased wonderfully. Radical 11 changes have been made in the arrangement of report periods and terms; and, upon the whole, the management is to be congratulated upon the prosperous condition and encouraging outlook. The literary societies, with increased membership and greater interest in literary work, were never in a more pros- perous condition. It is in athletics that Swarthmore has made the most sweeping advances. Whittierfield has been conceived and built; our athletes have competed with the best in the country and attained a fair degree of suc- cess. Swarthmore holds second place in the State of Penn- sylvania; and, with the increased amount of material, may hope for as much success in the future. In conclusion, we request your mild criticism and your kind indulgence. ' 55. Class Colors : — Orange and Seal Bro-ivn. Motto : — Fortiter, fideliter, feliciter. Yell:— Yah! Yah! Yale, S. C. ' 88, Hist, Boom, Ah. T last we are Seniors ! How that name has ever brought up before our minds visions of the bhssful time when we should at length see our great merits appreciated as they deserve, and when, with high hat and still loftier air, we should dazzle the eyes of under-classmen ! But, alas ! When we have now reached this pinnacle of greatness, it lills our hearts with mel- ancholy and despair to think that we are but Preps, soon to enter as Freshmen the hard school of the world. What is there to be our lot, we know not; but, ye gods, we beseech you, may we not be found so green as when, in our former verdant state, we were beguiled into giving our constitution and foot ball into the guardian care o f ' 87. May our future career be at least more harmonious than the time when the word eighty- eight was a synonym for faction and discord. We will be the largest class to graduate from College, — the largest in numbers, largest in brass, yea, the greatest kicking and wire-pulling aggregation that ever came to Swarthmore. We take great pride in our motto. None but the most preju- diced Freshmen can fail to see its appropriateness. Gentle reader, decide for yourself: — Fortiter, fideliter, feliciter, — who says we are not strongly attached to our Class, (and to one an- other) ? Who can deny that each one oxV faithfully (for him- self) ? Finally, who can have the audacity to declare that we are not happily united and harmonious in action ? How pro- phetically we chose that motto ! We published a Halcyon, but we had not patriotism enough to secure the honor of naming the track. Indulgent reader, hearken to our greatest boast of all. We have succeeded in breaking, by a wide margin, Swarthmore ' s record for ponying. We have got above using the text, are the words of one of our brightest. And now, with the hope that our old friend will not kick in our extremity, but carry us over Commencement on a full gallop, Ave bid you adieu. 14 officers of The ( lsss of ' 55. PRESIDENTS: WM. H.

' 3g, Re, R ah INCE the organization of the class of ' 89, there has been a display of college spirit, and an outburst of energy in everything connected with college work, such as has been heretofore unheard of in this pro- saic institution. When a new college year hailed the advent of ' 89, all nature became agitated. The Faculty exhibited remarkable symptoms. Mathe- matics lost her gumption, Engineering forgot to wind his Waterbury, and Latin omitted the usual new scheme. Up to the present date, ' 89s ' career has been one unbroken line of successes and victories. In the literary or athletic arena, she has gained honors untold, and medals numberless. With a foot-ball record of five victories and no defeats, the first successful con- testant for the Phoenix Cup, the possessor of the tennis cham- pionship, she has good reason to claim the front rank. In fine, we feel justified in stating that the present Junior Class has been preeminent in every phase of college existence. From the Freshman year, it has been the most important factor in for- warding the athletic interests of Swarthmore, in awakening a powerful and energetic college spirit, and in infusing life into everything that came under its influence. ' 89 will ever, with her characteristic energy, endeavor to sus- tain the brilliant reputation she has acquired, until graduation day shall sever the bonds of class organization. And then the members of ' 89 will separate, — some forever, some to distant climes, some to keep up the ties of friendship; but all will retain agreeable recollections of the few years spent at Swarth- more.

But ' 90, you are such a wild, spirited class, that in chronicling your achievements a statement of the plain, unvarnished truth reads like an exaggerated tale, full of daring exploits, thrilling and incom.pre- hensible. You are truly reckless. Ever and anon gentle- whispers reach our ears iina ' 91) of unsigned con- stitutions ; and then you know how, after a desperate struggle, against terrible odds, you routed (from the third-story window) the Freshmen in that eventful cane rush. (Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and so7ne have greatness thrust upon them.) And later, when you heard that heart-rending Why! Why! Why! how you were filled with feelings of deepest commiseration. A tender thought suddenly moved you to follow the worthy example of your predecessors. Hoping- thereby to soothe your ruffled and disappointed adversaries, you held in their honor a reception. During the early part of the season, two from your festive midst were seized with a fiery ambition to sport their high silk hats out the front portal of the College. A joint class meeting is held. A petition sent to the faculty. Alas ! that worthy body crushed those rising hopes, and the disconcerted pair must wait yet another year ere they behold reflected in the college pet the shining image of their darling hats. There is one feat in foot-ball that will ever reflect honor upon you. You are the second Sophomore class that ever whipped Haverford in that sport. No doubt due to the presence of your sister classmates. Borne along upon the pinions of an original proposition, and enveloped in the shadowy mazes of a Greek verb, what a future will be yours ! May the Gods grant you pleasure and profit. VVho is that man, with head bent clown, A world of wisdom in his frown, Who o ' er his book is seen to pore From morn till night ?

C which time may improve. T last ! ye Freshmen ; our at- tention must be devoted to the laborious task of compiling your history ; but this, alas, is a most difificult ■ task — for, f r o m nothing nothing comes. Your embryotic state is an excuse for your lack of meritorious deeds and ac- tions. It is also the fact that large bodies make slow pro- gress. Yet, this is a defect But there is nothing so advantageous to the young as to listen to the teachings of their elders, there- fore you should always receive Junioric advice with awe and respect. You should have in mind continually the various achievements and victories with which your model hath wreathed herself. Still, we occasionally see some scattered hayseeds in the hair of some of you, and notice your hitch and long-step stride, — an antique relic of your clod-hopping days ; but, nevertheless, you are much improved from your September state of helplessness. But, ' 91, despite your superabundance of verdancy, some of your actions have been very commendable, particularly do we feel proud of your energy in endeavoring to excite a cane-rush, and likewise your following our example in getting out posters. Still another opportunity remains to you to distinguish yourself, and that is when valiant ' 90 ' s plant their treelet. We think we see in you a faint streak of growing greatness. As it is not possible for you to see yourselves as others see you, we think it would be a great piece of negligence on our part not to have a typical pic- ture of you, which may in future days bring back to you fond recollections of w hen you were Freshmen. By most careful study and diligent labor, our special artist has produced an excellent prototype, which we sincerely hope will meet your approbation. 27 ( LflSS OF ' 91 elizabeth b. ambler, josephine f. axcona, rosa ancoxa, emily atkinson, laura m. avery, m. rosamond baker, helen b. barnard, harry l. boggs, sa: iuel s. bond, joseph bringhurst, robert h. brooke, COSMELIA J.

Though the oldest, it is the smallest of the three, numbering but twenty-two active members. It is furnished with a respectable library. The Delphic, the youngest society, was founded in 1873. I also possesses a li- brary, and probably the finest collection of historical works in the college. The active members register forty-eight. The Somerville, named for its founder, Mary A: Somerville, is com- posed of the young ladies of the college. It has a large room on the third floor, wherein it holds meetings, and has placed several shelves of interesting and valuable books. The active member- ship has so increased as to necessitate a division into two chapters. Occasionally the Somerville indulges in joint meetings with her brother societies. At different times during the year, each so- ciety holds its Reunion, when ex-members and active members meet to discuss the present condition and future prospects of the society. The business meeting concluded, the evening ends with a varied entertainment of music and drama, followed by a banquet with its usual accompaniments of toast and song. The Delphic and Eunomian Societies each have a reading-room, sup- plied with papers and periodicals, maintained in the former so- ciety by the student dues, and in the latter by ex-members ' subscription.

DILL, ' 89. 54 TlJb Ti(?g- N her short career of fourteen years, the pro- gress Swarthmore has made in Athletics the records she holds, and the rank she has taken among her sister colleges, are prece- dents worthy of great commendation. How can such a career do otherwise than create a feeling of pride among her alumni and undergraduates, when it is taken into con- sideration how heavily we are handicapped by the two great drawbacks, viz: of hav- ing but a small amount of material to work with and a very limited supply of funds, this thought presents itself, it is indeed wonderful how the ' little Quaker college ' holds her own. A few years after the founding of the College, some -little interest was taken in Athletics ; but it was of a most primitive character. In ' y , there were no athletic grounds, not even an apology for a gymnasium, no effort at judicious ;supervision of athletic interests by any member of the Alumni or Faculty, no thought, even, of pointing out to the students the exercise they required, and no provision what- ■ever for the class of weak, timid, or indolent students, who ' especially need exercise, but who take no part in the usual ■college games. At this time, a mere apology of an association was ' formed, and the field meetings were held on a level piece of road near the College. Since then, mainly by the active •efforts of the undergraduates, assisted by the Alumni, a few ifriends of the College and the Faculty, enormous strides Ihave been made. Now Swarthmore can boast of one of ' the finest cinder tracks in the State ; and our gymnasium, :although nothing to brag of, we trust will survive until, in the not far distant future, by another enthusiastic movement like the one that produced Whittierfield, a fully equipped 55 gymnasium will make its appearance and place us on a par with our sister colleges. From the poor apology of ' 78, has arisen a prosperous association; and; with the perfecting of the impending scheme of an amalgamation of the Athletic and the Base and Foot Ball Associations, the prosperity of Athletics will be undoubtedly increased. Among the several donations that have been made to the Athletic Association for the purpose of promoting in- terest and competition in our Field Meetings, the most, im- portant one is the Cup presented by the Editorial Board of Volume VI of the PhcEnix. This Cup was given to the- Association as a prize to be contested for by the different classes. Last year, at the first meeting on Whittierfield, when the Cup was awarded, ' 89 was engraved on the first space. 56 M-n OFFICERS OF The ?1thletic IssocmiioN. PRESIDENT. WILLIAM H. SEAMAN, ' 88.

February th. Startling discovery ! While directing the telescope up the Milky Way, the renowned comet, Gymnasium Instructor, passed into view. This remarkable comet was last seen in the constellation Martin. At present, however, its condensation is very imperfect and the whole apparition of an exceedingly- filmy texture. The tail is enormously long. It is feared that its orbit will never approach nearer to Swarthmore. February 26th. A large meteor has just been detached from the Endow- ment Nebulse and is whizzing through space, bearing with it the George School. If it keeps its present path, it will in- evitably sweep away the Prep. School sometime during the year umpteen thousand. It is as yet at some distance. March 4. Phete had something funny on Tap this evening and saw nothing but stars. March nth. Had a faint view of that gaseous nebula in the constellation K — yl. It is throwing off gas at a rapid rate. Don ' t know the cause. Will ask some other Day. Ill FRESHMEN ' 90. WARNING! Recoo;nizing the fact that you are now about to emerge from a state of imbecility and prepdom, that you are about to be loosened from your mother ' s apron strings, and to be thrown upon the cruel world at Swarthmore, we, your guard- ians, deem it our duty to lay down the following rules for your mental, physical and moral welfare. 1. All hobby horses, rattles, doll babies and other necessaries must be deposited in the observatory every evening, and woe be it unto the Freshman found monkeying with the telescope. 2. During hours in the study room, all Freshmen shall ab- stain from throwing spit-balls, using bean blowers, or other- wise showing their sudden rise from their A B C ' s. 3. The carrying of canes by Freshmen is prohibited ; also the wearing of light plug hats. 4. Every Wednesday afternoon all Freshmen will present themselves at the kitchen door, where the cook will give them lessons in scrubbing, washing dishes, and other knowl- edge adapted for immature minds. 5. All money must be deposited in a safe jilace, and an allow- ance of 5 cents a week, to buy candy and other articles will be given. g_ As Freshmen are not allowed to practice in chemistry, those especially desiring to do so, may (by permission of the janitor) procure their chemicals from the Soph ' s slop jars. 7. No Freshman will be allowed to cry for his mother be- tween the hours of 8 and 10, because the Sophs desire quiet. 8. In the dining room. Freshmen must remain quiet until those in the classes above them are seated, and all of them must be provided with bibs. 9. Promptly at 5 o ' clock in the morning, the Freshmen will form in line at the nursery door, for an early breakfast of bread and milk. The above rules must be carried out or Freshmen will in- cur Sophomore displeasure. If observed, they will prove beneficial to Freshmen, who will, in after years, thank the class of ' 89 for the kindly interest she has taken in your wel- fare while a Freshman at Swarthmore. Your Guardians. ' 89. 74 WHY WHY WHY WHY DIDN ' T ' 90 ACCEPT ? THAT CANE RUSH CHALLENGE WASN ' T LEGAL, YOU KNOW! ' 90, when did you sign that Constitution ? Their Constitution, (?) or maybe their physical constitutions, wouldn ' t permit. Oh, my, what legal points can be construed from an unsigned and, therefore, worthless code of laws ! Drowning men will grasp for straws, but a frightened Soph, wouldn ' t grab at a cane. ' 90, where is your backbone ' ? A cane would be a good sub- stitute, and you MIGHT have won that article. They who are anxious to accept of an opportunity never look for flaws, but a fearful eye will detect many a small hole for escape. THE FRESHMEN. 75 JouLou V nmvuhmoRs. COMMANDER TESSIE.

With a formidable rush at his huge antagonist, Julius led off with a nose-defacer, but Soupgon wasn ' t at home.

Pluckily recovering himself, how- ever, the Nonpareil again assumed a striking posture, and called on Soupcjon ' s left sub-maxillary with good effect.

T-y, P. Q. and C-w-ly still stick to their work and fully expect to secure a share of the prize. Each contestant scoring above 60 receives a handsome chromo, written in Latin or English as the contestant prefers, and bound with a beautiful blue ribbon. At present C-w-y is well in the lead with T-y second. Unfortunately P. Q. ' s pony has bucked several times and he has been compelled, according to the terms of the race, to go back and make up what he had scored since the start. The Judges (called by some the Faculty) preside in turn over the race and keep a sharp outlook for foul play. Despite all their precautions. Toy has occasionally renewed his pony and 90 gained some slight advantages over C-w-ly. The latter, however, rides a sturdy little animal of the Papyrus stock, and all efforts to overtake him have ended in utter failure. They are now on the home stretch. The sympathy of the spectators is with C-w-ly, but T-y has many strong adherents amongst the fair sex. 91 WORDS OF WISDOM poR T E Preshmen. I.— THE COLLEGE PET. Have yo u noticed my children, that rare and imposing piece of furniture which adorns the front hall, and so oft reflects your beaming countenances ? That my children is the College Pet. It must never be mentioned save with reverence and with awe ; with uncovered head and bated breath. It is the matron ' s pride and the Prexy ' s joy and is dearer to the manager ' s hearts than silver or gold, which my dear children is saying a great deal. You have seen it sat upon ? Never, my dear children, never ! That would be a sacrilege. II.— THE FRONT DOOR. Yes, I have been expecting it. Why ' are not all College Classes allowed the use of the front door ? ' ' Ah ! children, you have unwittingly stumbled upon a mystery stranger and deeper than those problems which have perplexed the minds of man from time immemorial. Ask me who was the man in the Iron Mask ; ask me who wrote the letters to Junius ; ask me who assaulted Wm. Patterson ; ask me why Jay Gould bangs his hair,; ask me why P. Q. never smiles; but in the name of Herr Bruder do not ask me that, for verily the reason therefore, the Faculty themselves do not know. 92 JOHNNIE IjaVMaN, The Author of ' 55 ' 5 Ijolcyon. DISCOVERY OF AN INGENIOUS CYPHER CONCLU- SIVELY PROVING MR. HAYMAN ' S AUTHORSHIP. BY IGNORAMUS DUDDELV. [The discoverer of this cipher submitted his manuscript to us requesting its publication on the ground that the credit of the authorship of 88 Halcyon should be attributed to its rightful composer, Mr. Johnnie Hayman, F. R. S., (Faculty ' s Ragged Supe). We have thoroughly examined the manuscript of Mr. J. Duddely and his overwhelming proof has entirely co nvinced 7is that Mr. Hayman has been heinously wronged. With a view to correcting this egregious blunder, we append a few of Mr. Igno- ramus Duddely ' s arguments. — Eds.] It has been the prevailing belief for the past year, since the issue of the ' 88 Halcyon that the author was undoubtedly a mem- ber of the class of ' 88. A few weeks since, my suspicions were aroused, when I noticed Johnnie Hayman, one windy day, unearth a fragment of paper from the grass on the front campus, and be- come exceedingly agitated over it. Approaching him cautiously, I peered over his shoulder in order to perceive what he held in his hand. It was page loi of the ' 88 Halcyon. He muttered in suppressed tones, How few know that I was the Ed . At this moment he detected my presence, and with a wild haggard look, fled staggeringly away. My curiosity was excited. Surely he could not have been the author of the ' 88 Halcyon ! I de- termined to investigate. 93 Opening my copy of ' 88 Halcyon, at page loi, I closely ex- amined the first stanza of the poem thereon, and with a startling clearness the letters Johnnie Hayman wrote Halcyon blazed out. Here is how it appeared : Johnnie Hayman: — I used to be as gay a sport As ever Walked the stReet, The bOys and girls would look aT niE And say O my How sweet ; But now I ' m old and out of step, And fled is alLf my joy. The boys and girls they laugh at me, And. Cry HeY JOhN, old boy ! Here then was the complete explanation. My mind was settled immediately. This wronged and oppressed genius Johnnie Hayman, was actually the author of ' 88 Halcyon. I could not be mistaken. In my feverish excitement, I searched for further clues. I turned to page 9 where the bogus authors names were printed. I examined the editor ' s name. A sudden idea struck me and another clue was in my hands. Strike off the plural from the name Hayes and we have Hay. I ran my eye over the rest of the page and — Eureka ! — I found the rest of the name craftily concealed in the word MAN-ager. Here then was the whole name on the editorial page, Hayman. Can any- one doubt now that Johnnie Hayman was the author of ' 88 Hal- cyon ? The evidence seems conclusive. Again on pages 83 and loi we find Mr. Hayman ' s name used repeatedly in one connection. His biographer tells us that Mr. Hayman led a very melancholy life, — that he was disap- pointed in love. But they have never been able to find out the name of the object of his affections, and Mr. Hayman has kept it locked in his breast, secure from the vulgar curiosity. But on page loi, the name of his loved one is mentioned three times. And if unknown before, who could have written it in that touch- ing poem but Mr. Hayman himself? Here w have another link in the chain of evidence. Yes, this was a sad Avorld for Johnnie, and we can see everywhere in his writings, and in ' 88 Halcyon ' in 94 particular many expressions of disgust and distaste for the worldly things on page 83, ' 88 Halcyon, he says: Ugh-h-h!! And on page 102, same work: I ruminate upon the ways, Of this cold world alas ! ' ' These expressions all indicate Mr. Hayman ' s melancholy dis- position and dislike of worldly affairs. We cannot help but sympathize with him and cannot blame him for wishing to con- ceal his authorship of ' c? ? i a o ' TZ, well appreciating his desire for retirement and solitude. Trusting that these proofs may be sufficient to convince the most skeptical, and that the credit for editing the ' 88 Halcyon may be given to its only and genuine author Mr. Johnnie Hay- man, F. R. S., I conclude by thanking the editor of ' 89 ' s Hal- cyon for their valuable space. Ignoramus Duddely. 95 A DIALOGUE At the window they were ' ' bumming ' ' Witli guitar and violin, And were making, scraping, thrumming, — What they called a chastened din.

Clarence: — Cholly, I ' ve a small suspicion That you called one ' Lalage, ' — Whom I could (with your permission) Name to you quite easily. Charles: — And you, my friend, I ' ll lay a wager, Lost the Latin phrases, too ; You ' re not such a hard old stager, That I lack a name for you. Clarence: — You can tell me who the same is? Charles: — Let me try: Blue eyes, dark hair, Slender, — tennis, — and her name is — ' ' Clarence: — That ' s enough! no — hold up! — there — Then he cried in full conviction, Grasping Cholly ' s fingers hard; (With more point than classic diction), Put her firmly there, ol ' pard ! 9 ' i DUBB ' 5 PRESHMEN gaiELLITES. Dubbs holds grand carnival in Room 27, and every other night dispenses pearls of wisdom and mugs of lemonade to his admiring satellites. Jo is Dubbs ' room mate and his life is a re- markably monotonous one. When Dubbs summons the grace- ful giraffe ' ' or the ' ' lost tr ibe of Israel ' ' everyone knows that the peerless athlete Jo will soon make his appearance. In the dull gray of a winter ' s morn, with the aid of powerful lungs, ter- rible threats, shoes, pillows, tennis-shoes and soap, Dubbs suc- ceeds in inducing Jo to elevate the window and shut out the penetrating morning air. Geo. Washington Vernon and Gabbling Brooke drop in, in the evening, followed by the inimitable Koser. Pompey Smith tells how de Lawd made Adam and Ebe out ob the clay ob de groun, E. A. P. Brown follows with a side-splitting story, until finally Police appears on the scene, and with an obligated Dubbs, the Satellites file slowly and ingloriously out. j}W ' I 98 THE Observations nut) Experiences OF Ignatius I oratius I ayseed. It is the common lot of greenies all, Who ev ' iy year the college world appal, And are loosed from their mother ' s apron strings, Ignorant, helpless and gullible things. To go far off to some antique college. Where Pa imbibed his lasting knowledge. There they experience things strange, likewise weird. Thus fate allots to those devoid of beard. This year to Swarthmore came a long slim weed Of a chap, known by the name of I. H. Hayseed, He was one of those guileless would be men. Who takes things for their worth. So when The months brought round their holiday, ' Natius goes home and tells about the sights and way We do at S ' more, without hesitation, The following was his conversation. After the dreaded examinations were o ' er And I pulled through with O. K. score, To headquarters for directions I went, And much was in talk and chatter blent ; But my attention was at last directed To what from the outlook was expected. Never such was the case before as now, And that it was difficult to see how, With a Freshman Class of more than 74, That reflections could be cast upon Swarthmore. 99 The endownment funds are on the raise, Many are helping in various ways To rank our graduates amongst the best. As I had made a complete digest Of the condition of our college, My mind was turned now toward seeking knowledge. So where I went and what I saw and heard, V tell you in the way they each occurred. With mind at last ' pon careful study bent, Straight to the recitation rooms I went. I. Latin and the Prof I sing, who last from the halls of Am- herst came to Swarthmore and co-education ' s realms. Many were the odes he studied, much was he worried by Horace and Virgil, on account of the ever mindful wrath of the Profs of Am- herst. Many too, were the miles he came, when seeking a pro- fessorship, and bringing his goods and books into Swarthmore, whence came a knowing race, and the wisest Friends, and the walls of the city of Swarthmore. This is a classic recitation room, students of Arts possess it, Room I by name, opposite the book room and the sanctum of the Phoenix across the hall ; rich in wisdom, very difficult in the pursuit of studies. This room Arts is said to have cherished more ' than all, even than Room H. Here were its books, here were its ' ' ponies. Here I took my way after breakfast, clad in my toga and bearing in my hand, both my Horace and my stilus, for there was to me a suspicion that the fates had decreed, a few notes on the subjunctive. To me then, the Prof with visage stern, thus addressed these words : Hayseed, (for to thee is given the first question) cans ' t thou tell us whence sodes comest? Thus say I in reply: No mighty Prof. Then he spoke and turning the point of the chalk to the board wrote Si audes, and lo! the reason appeared plain enough. Now this period was ended. Scarcely out of sight of the door of Room I, was I speeding my course to A, whistling a tune with brazen cheek, when the President, nursing an eternal rule within his breast thus to me began : Hayseed, will thee please desist from thy whistling and as becomes a Freshman, turn back and traverse the East stairs? So speaks the President, and quicker than he speaks, I betake myself up the East stairs. 100 A. As French was one elective, And a Prof had showed me A, The period after dinner, I toddled there straightway. Bel enfant sit you here now, Was Voulez vous decree, And now econtez s ' il vous plait And now ecrivez, thee. This Prof at times unseemly. Is struck with pains below, And grabs as though ? gotitte, once Had taken him in toe. Says he tho Wine ' s a poison, So ' s Tea in other shape. What matter how we perish. By canister or grajte. You see sometimes he ' s witty. Cracks jokes at our expense, And when you find him that way. You bet he ' s quite immense. B. On entering B, I seem to feel, A classic zephyr o ' er me steal. And listening with profound intent. Harmonious all my powers were blent. I seemed transported to the Muses home, And o ' er umbrageous Helicon to roam, To ethereal heights where Shakespeare sings My spirit soars frcm earthly things. Poor French corrected by the victim. 101 SCIENCE HALL. It would be a monstrosity beyond all comprehensible con- ception for me to endeavor to put into the musical intonations employed by the Muses, the characteristic peculiarities of those pre-eminent dispensers of scientific knowledge, who appal Fresh- manic verdancy by oft-repeated and antiquated dissertations. The girls at college are scrumptiously gushing, always smil- ing and buzzing, don ' t you know? Foot-ball is a daisy game, our track and records can ' t be beaten, tennis lets a fellow associate with the girls, and I have joined the Polly, Judge and General fraternity of theatre goers, and, — Look here young man, your father is not going to waste time and money on you for such frivolity, it will be time enough ' ' Here end the adventures of Ignatius Horatius Hayseed. 102 V L DK TORy. And now our course is run. The production of our •combined gigantic intellects is before the college world. Toil, unceasing toil, is the price we pay for our glory. And yet, ' tis an easy task after all, to publish an an- nual. Try it, ' 90, and if you encounter difficulties, follow our example and rise supreme in irresistible strength. Be an intellectual Hydra. If one idea is clipped by the Faculty, let nine new ones spring out of your prolific minds. A word is due the adv ertising firms for their indis- pensable support. Inestimable benefit will be conferred upon the succeeding staff, if these firms are liberally patronized. Vale, kind friends and indulgent readers. Vale ! 103 fo f ye i j- cov xe- Ti i E. O.

It is wise to provide an estate for your widow and for your children ! It is wise to make this provision through legitimate Life Insurance ! Is it altogether wise to bequeath that estate in a way which will subject it to business chances ? to inexperience, to negligence, or to theft ? Is it not wiser, through the Trust Certificate, original with and issued by the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, to so guard and protect your beneficiaries against loss that your purpose may be fully executed. And the cost ? Very much less, in some cases 30 per cent, less, than charged under ordinary plans by other companies. Send age, name, etc., to Home Office, •921 and 923 Chestnut Street.
