Snap and spirit and get there just the same. No mistak- ing what such noisy fellows mean. They ' ll jump out into the world with the same sort of enthusiasm. But shouting isn ' t what wins. No level-headed college man expects it to. He will buckle down to business just as he buckles down to Greek and trigonometry. That ' s the only way to succeed. But he wouldn ' t amount to much if glued to the desk. A bit of foot- ball, a spin on the water, a couple of hours on the diamond helps the book work, and there ' s no better way to expand lungs than to make holes in the circumambient air with the alphabet- ical chain-shot that glorifies alma mater. Work and play. Season the stern realities of life with the spice of sport and good fellow- ship. So shall the world always show you mellow spots amid its hard places ; so shall the fires of youth keep up a kindly glow until you pass far beyond the frost-line. John Wanamaker. BAILEY Ljnii L.

My critic Belfair wants another book, Entirely different, which will sell and live A striking book, yet not a startling book, The public blames originalities. Good things, not subtle, new, yet orthodox. As easy reading as the dog-eared page That ' s fingered by said public fifty years, Since first taught spelling by its gi-andmother. And yet a revelation in some sort : That ' s hard my critic, Belfair ! Aurora Leigh. N presenting to you the fifth volume of The Halcyon we feel a mingled sense of pride and regret; pride that we have been chosen to perform this duty, ' regret that the duty has been so poorly performed. But we shall not bid for praise by self-depreciation, the work which we do will be our best, and it is for you to say whether it is done well or ill. The mission of a College Annual is, to our minds, not so much to give a cut-and-dried resume of the year ' s work, or a mere list of the various College organizations; but to be a volume worth having, not only as a book of reference, but also something which may serve as a prized memento of college life, when those bright halcyon days are forever gone and we look back with kindly remembrance to the companions of our student life. Then, we hope, in the minds of all there will remain naught but pleasant memories of the class of Ninety. In pursuance of this end we shall try to give you all the statistical information usually given, with as high a degree of correctness as may be ; and, in addition to this, to follow this 1-1 plain and substantial repast with a dessert in the form of some other articles the nature of which we will hold in reserve, that they may be, perchance, a pleasing surprise to Your High Mightinesses, our Readers. If, in this intellectual feast, the spicing of an)- of the dishes be too high, or if the pepper of sarcasm or the mus- tard of ridicule burn the tongues of any of you, we most humbly beg your pardon. You should remember that sarcasm is most likely to be aimed at the one failing of an otherwise perfect character, for it takes a bright backgrounci of Truth to make an error stand out prominently, as a dark silhouette. Ridicul-e, like Death, loves a shining mark and strikes only at the illus- trious. So if you find yourselves mentioned- in these pages, you should be thankful that you are raised far enough above the mean level of mediocrity to become targets for our shafts, however imperfect or falsely aimed those shafts may be. Regarding the improvements which we shall endeavor to make in this work over those of former years, we shall not speak, nor shall we beg you not to be over critical of our first attempt in this line, for v e have full confidence in the fairness and leniency of our readers, so we shall leave our Halcyon to stand or fall upon its own merits. But we see you are impatient for the feast to begin, so we will make our bows and order the viands to be served at once. 15 Hisiom, dressed uiillj lr Uresl , SoCl lCSj seri edu Llh Pictures QleeClitl aUCats. .

Every one admits your importance. We know the col- lege cannot get along without you, and we have sad forebodings of the future, when you are no more with us, ' 89. But we shall not forget you, ' 89. The characters ' 89 stare us in the face where- ever we go. They are visible in every corner of the buildings. But we shall have more than that to keep your memory green, ' 89. We shall remember how you bullied us when you were Sophomores, ' 89; how you bullied each other when you were Juniors, ' 89 ; and how you kept it up when you were Seniors, ' 89. What harmony you have had in your class, ' 89 ! How the factions have opposed each other and dashed against each other, as the billowy waves of the ocean dash against the immovable rocks along its shore. But you are now fast approaching the goal of your college life, and we hope you will at last become loving and harmonious, — when you don ' t see each other very often, ' 89. You published a Halcyon. You did? Sh-h-h-h ! don ' t mention it, ' ■ Nihil mortuum nisi bo72it7ny You followed the corpse while ' 88 carried the coffin, and the procession was not worth paying fifty cents to see. You have a great many virtues, but modesty is not one, and quietness is not another. A more egotistical, self-important, overbearing, boastful class has not graced Swarthmore while we have been here. We do not wish to include all the class in one sweeping assertion, but it is this spirit which seems to predomi- nate. It is this spirit which leads you to try to manage the affairs of the whole college, and to ruin anything which you can- not rule. Then there is your talent for ' ' wire-pulling. With what zeal you talk to the girls — before election ! How deftly you can circulate misrepresentations of your opponents. To what trickery you will stoop to gain the victory. Yes, you are adepts in political machination, — but we hope there are no more like you. . We must admit, however, that many of you do not ex- hibit these faults in such a glaring light, and on account of these members of the class especially, we shall always have a very friendly feeling toward the class of ' 89, and shall be indeed sorry when the time shall come when we must say Farewell ' 89. 25 ( LSSS OF ' 59.

' 89, with one satiric touch, appointed the smallest member of its class to fling jokes at us from her tiny quill, but now, nozv, we OURSELVES SHALL SPEAK. Some things you said about us, ' 88, have proved pro- phetic; you probably knew they would. We still observe all the hundred rules and never get a black mark on our reports. We are the apple of the Faculty ' s eye. They just delight in us. They affirm (being Friends they can ' t do anything stronger than affirm) that for brightness and appli- cation we were never equalled in the history of the college . The Professor of Mathematics says that we surpass all former classes in ability. Just think of that Alumnus and Alumna, Soph, and Freshie! Remember when you thought your- selves so smart and were briefly told to sit down and use some common sense, — remember that and then try to appre- ciate the praise given to us. We are universally admired and liked. Everyone con- cedes that ' 90 contains the nicest girls and most gallant youths at S ' more. We know Godwin ' s four classes of con- ditions and use them in a way that would astonish a Hel- lene. We read and comprehend the Latin in the original without the childish help of dictionary or translation. We discourse in Anglo-Saxon better than Caedmon did, and in the literary and oratorical arts we know no peers. We have been the largest Junior class in the college ' s history and as superior in quality as in numbers. In short, if you would briefly describe the indescribable, there is but one fit word to apply to ' 90, and that word is consummate. 29 ( LSSS OF ' 90. ALVAN W. ATKINSON, SARA H. ATKINSON, GEORGE H.

C OU are always boasting of your superiority to 90 (?) Listen, then, to our friendly warning, and desist. Let us look at the past. You could beat us in foot-ball, no doubt! The score was 12 to 8 in ow ' favor. You could beat us at tub Our man came in several yards ahead. In fact, we cannot think of anything in which you have been vic- torious. And still you talk ! But we remember that a certain wise man called Solomon, said: Answer not a fool according to his folly lest thou also be like unto him. So but we will carry the comparison no further. How harmonious you have always been in your class meetings! You rival your allied Class ' 89, in the love which you bear one to another. Do you remember hiaw once in your Freshman days some of you sent the girls some flowers? And do you remember how those in au- thority sat on you? Another amusing episode of that time was the loss of your foot-ball. How you charged ' 90, poor, innocent ' 90, with basely concealing it. Ah ! those were happy days. You don ' t electioneer for the Presidency of your Class (wonderous honor!) six months before the elections, and fix up the ticket for several years in advance, do you now? That was a trick ' 89 taught you. You never coeducate except before class elections ! The ' 92s beat you at cane rushing, then you gave them a reception and presented them with the canes which you could not win from them. 33 Remember, ' 91, that tho ' you may deride others as quiet and slow, yet the race is not always to the swift. Many a class has started out to win its way by bluster and brag, but when it comes to the test those who stick to their work and attend to their own affairs before trying to regu- late others come out ahead. However, Ave believe that all hope is not lost for you yet. We see in some of you a disposition to wait ' til the victory is won before boasting of it and to be more chary of making boastful comparisons between yourselves and others. If you observe carefully the advice which we have tried, as best we could, to give you ' ' 91 may yet become an honor to Swarthmore and, though it may not be head in everything, may in some ways be second to none. That such may be the case is the heartfelt wish of the Class of ' 93. 34 ( L ISS OF ' 91. ELIZABETH B. AMBLER, JOSEPHINE T. ANCONA, ROSA ANCONA, EMILY ATKINSON, M. ROSAMOND BAKER, PIELEN P.

I don ' t like it here. They aint nice to us Httle fellows. They want us to be big, and to wear high collars and long pants that hurt my neck. But I must tell you about our class, we have a fine class. We fuss in our class all the time, you have to fuss to have a fine class. The Seniors (they are big men with moustaches and girls too that wear high collars and long coats to meeting). They fuss all the time in their class and are just like us. Our yell used to was: Ma, Ma, Ma, Home, Home, Home, I want to go home to my Ma, Ma, Ma ! But that made some of us cry when we said it, so we had to give it up, for the Sopho- mores can ' t study when we cry, cause they are young and want to cry too. So now our yell is: Hiss Boom Boo, S. C. ' 92, Tiger! Our motto is: ■Esse quant videri! ' That means To eat without being seen, ' ' that is to have feasts at night when there is no one around to prevent. But the ten- minutes-of-ten bell is ringing and I must go to bed. So good-bye. 39 ( LaSS OF ' 92. WVILLIAM G. AREY, IM, ELLEN ATKINSON, MAURICE J. BRINTON, MARY P. BROWN, THEODATE P.

The first two are maintained by the young men, while the third, as its name suggests, is carried on by the young women. All three so- cities are in a flourishing condition. Each has a library of its own; that of the Delphic being especially noticable as being the largest and having a fine historical collection. The Somerville has been divided on account of its size into two chapters, the Sigma and Omicron, but both are under one head, and the chapters have joint meetings at stated intervals. All three societies do good work in the way of debates, essays, etc., and they are of decided benefit to the students. Of the other college organizations, the Scientific So- ciety has been brought to the front in the past year. The membership has been increased and it is preparing to do better work than heretofore. The Latin Seminaries have been consolidated into a Latin Society, which does work supplementary to that done by the regular Classes. The Botany Club is pursuing original investigations in that field. Of the Fraternities we shall speak elsewhere, and of the other organizations which we give the purport is in general sufficiently explained. 46 OFFICERS OF THEgoMERviLLE Literary Society presidents: MARY KIRK, ' 89, ist term.

Not the least of these is the founding of the Glee Club- Attempts had been made at various times tO ' found a permanent Glee Club here, but they had been; unsuccessful until in the autumn of 1888, through the indefatigable efforts of some members of the class of ' 89, it was successfully inaugurated. The Club, to an outside observer, seems to be a valua- ble addition to the college, and one which will doubtless be permanent. We have, at various times had the otherwise rather monotonous Receptions, Elecution Entertainments, etc., varied by well rendered pieces of good music. For this, if nothing else, we have cause to be thankful. The Club is actively engaged in teaching the young songsters how to warble, that they may have no lack of melodious entertainments next year. In this, as in all other matters, they are ably assisted by Prof G. A. Hoad- ley. without whom the Club could not have become so . successful as it has. gWHRTHMORE ( OLLEGE ( HESS ( LUB.

THLETICS were, for a long time, considered by the Managers of Swarthmore to be detri- mental to the best interest of the college, but under proper care and management they have become such an important factor in our col- lege life that it seems well to devote a brief space in the college annual to their consideration. Since the appearance of last year ' s annual many things have occurred which it is our duty to chronicle. The Department of Physical Culture of Swarthmore may be said to have been founded in 1888. The managers, recog- nizing that the best development of an individual requires the careful training of his physical no less than his intel- lectual powers, early in the year appointed a Physical Director. This appointment fills a long felt want, as here- tofore men have been allowed to exercise without any regard to health or strength. Under the Director ' s super- vision all the students have been examined and assigned such work in the gymnasum as will result in the symmetri- cal development of their bodies. This year, it is expected will show a marked increase not only in the total strength of the student but will bring out such men as have the strength and qualities for becoming athletes. In foot ball we have been unfortunate. It was our mis- fortune to have men injured in practice games whose places could not be filled and the team was compelled to go on the field in every game except the first in a crippled condi- tion. Yet in spite of this fact the score made with the strong teams of Pennsylvania have been kept surprisingly low and always the men played with characteristic pluck and snap. Our weak points were carefully noted and as 87 we lose but two men by graduation the prospects for a successful season in ' 89 are most encouraging. But track athletics has always been our pride and glory. And why should they not be? The number o students in college from which to choose athletes has never been above one hundred, yet we have caused the Garnet to be looked upon with envy and admiration wherever Swarth- more men have contested. Such excitement has never been witnessed at an Inter-state Athletic Meetings as when last Spring Swarthmore came second to the University of Pennsylvania with a record of six firsts and four seconds to seven firsts and five seconds for the University. Yale Col- lege pulled our tug of war team two and one ha lf inches at the Inter Collegiate Meeting. With such records as these upon the track Ave feel that Swarthmore has just cause for pride. At tennis Swarthmore has always held her own among her sister colleges of the State. She has never failed to send representatives to the meetings Avho have acquitted themselves with honor to their college. Truly Swarthmore has entered upon an era of great athletic prosperity but this success can only be maintained by the combined efforts of the Alumni and undergraduates. By the successful amalgamation of the various athletic organizations one of the desired ends has been reached that of obtaining an Advisory Committee from the Alumni. This committee, working together with a committee from the undergraduates, expect in the near future to put the Association upon a firm financial basis, then we may hope a movement such as produced Whittierfield to build a gymnasium worthy of the position which Swarthmore holds in the athletic world. 88 gwaRTHMORE ( OLLEGE ?1tHLETIC fl550CmT0(N[.

DAY in June — the warm soft wind, Steals through the closed Venetian blind And lounging there In easy chair, Light fancies wander through my mind. I watch the sunlight filter through The chinks in slender, quivering lines, And think how sweet In summer heat, The cool faint murmur of the pines. And peeping through the slats I catch. Swaying the flickering shadows through, A glimpse of white, A slender sprite, And of a foot in dainty shoe. Which touches lightly now and then The soft pine needles at her feet. She seems to me In reverie, Like some pond lily white and sweet. And in her hammock swaying slow Her hands clasped idly on her knee — With thoughtful eyes. Like evening skies, I wonder what her thought? may be. I ' JG Perhaps she dreams of last night ' s waltz- Perhaps she plans some charming gown- Or wonders whether This lovely weather Will last until her trip to town. Perhaps the heartless heroine Of some provoking novelette Has changed her mind (Like womankind), And will not wed the hero yet. Perhaps she builds her castles high — In Spain — or wonders if the mail Will bring her aught; Or is her thought Fixed on that distant glinting sail ? Perhaps she dreams of summer gone Or, likelier still, of days to be, A winter ' s night In firelight bright, A tete a tete with — is it — me ? Perhaps it ' s that gay youth in town Who ' ll carry off my dear — ah well. Time will unfold The tale untold; A maiden ' s day dreams who can tell ? 107 Our ( ollege Eleven.

These fragments are supposed to have been written about the end of the Nineteenth Century, owing to the similarity they bear to other relics of that period. Note r. The fragments given here seem to be parts of wills, though the bequests seem to us out of place, and in some cases even grotesque in this age of enlightenment. They were doubtless perfectly legitimate articles to will a person in those days. In this case we would infer that J. W. Pond-r was a bashful young person about to enter the political arena. 2. He is also seemingly an athlete of great repute. 3. Lex. Probably one of those articles known in the vernacular of the period, as a Dude, apparently a lower order of humanity, very aggressive, though on the whole more sinned against than sinning (see the Comments on Habits and Customs of the XIX. Century.) 4. A Shortie, perhaps a sobriquet for the famous electrician of that age, Coil, of whom contemporary writers have spoken as being rather diminutive of stature. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that in those days wires were used as conductors of electricity. A person named Shah or Shortie figured in the political history of that time as a King maker. Compare Pole ' s Remin- iscences ( B. Lippincott Co., Phil adelphia). Also Flasher ' s History of our Class zvith Greek notes and References (Appleton Co., N. Y. ' 89.) 5. This last is perhaps the most interesting of all, for it settles beyond a doubt the vexed question : Did Wo- man ' s Suffrage exist, to any extent, among the upper classes 111 in past ages ? We learn from various sources that this was a live question in those days, from this bit we are led to suppose that it had taken quite a hold upon the leaders of political life. This last that may seem at first mere jargon is of intense interest. Some little explanation is necessary, however. The writer, just before his departure from this place of interesting associations, met an ancient, super- annuated being. This character was interesting as a study ; as a person of historical renown, of great learning, also on account of information he gave me. His name is John Hayman. He is of great age and his once powerful intellect seems to have failed almost entirely. Notwithstanding he attracts atten- tion wherever he goes, owing to his commanding carriage. When first I saw him he was seated on an old ladder lead- ing up to the once famous Barometer House of Swarth- more. It seems that Mr. Hayman was for years a member of the P aculty, Prof, of Neatness and Practical Economy. Being so faithful in his duties his life was prolonged. But he seems to have lived beyond his time. He was intel- lectually superior to any one in his day. A star that dwelt apart. His great mind is at last fading, though he still has lucid moments. I have only given portions of the story he told me, though it was all interesting. The account Mr. Hayman gave me of th e Sunday-schools was very interesting. It seems he was an active worker in the cause in fact he still bears the marks of his work. The Greek phrases that now and then creep into his conversation only go to prove the extent of his learning. 112 gWHRTHMORE T LES. Whilom, as olde stories tellen us, And eke bigge bookes sayen thus. There was a grete cite, That highte Philadeliphe; And thereto close at hand Ten miles I guess across the land.

But for to tellen of his array His dress was good, but he ne was naught gay. 113 The Prioresse lived long in Northampton, Eddie was hight her litel son. She was cliped Madame Bond, And of her the lasses were verray fond. Ful wel sche sang the servise divyne, With her forke did she beate wel the tyme. Ful oft she sayed as was her gys, Oon worde spoken to the wys Is ful sufficient. Now of clerkes wol I tellen you awhile That in this place weren in exile, How fat in stature and how long in limb, And at a Freshman wol I first bygynne. A Freshman ther wes of Bucks counte, And sagen did he thou and thee, Across the hall he used to roum, And by coking did he gas consume. Of eating, did he take the bun, For he was Epicurus owne son. Pudding, pyes, but most of steak, He was right fat I undertake. Of Dr. Day and his chemistrie, He learned wel and finely. A maid ther was of Oxenford also, And sothly she was quite undergrow. Entuned in her nose ful semely. The gles she sang, and smyled too quite cheerely; Of studie tooke she no care nor heede. And spak wordes more than ther was neede; And speckes hadde she that upon her nose sat, Her hed was too quite square and flat; On the lads did sche beam and smyl. But namelyche so on yonge Pyle, Of a Junior lasse wol I tellen you Sche wore a nombre nyne shoe. Of here ancestre was she justly proud Her voys was shril and it was loud, 114 Of ' Papa she was attached and fond Muche troble did she mak for Madame Bond Scoldings from the matron when Sche kept her light till after ten Lucy was her room-mate cute and smal In love with her weren the clerkes all. A man ther was of Science Hall also That unto science hadde longe igo And schorte was he sothly for to say ; Of his visage to tellen as I may It had a sorrowful expressioun, For swich as this was his condicioun That all the boys and maydes for despyt Him for to taisen tok a schure delyt. His werk was in a chemist ' s laboratory, Or in the lecturs on a higher story. Wei coulde he use air-pumpes or measure gasses Wei coulde he cleane room, or wasche glasses, Who cocthe ryme in Englissch projjerly His martyrdom ? for sothe it am not I ; Therefore I passe as lightly as I may With nought but Farewell, Sam, and have good-day. But now is tyme to you to tell of Yeman Whom that the laddes cleped Heyman, His steppe was schort and it was weke Of his barrow did the whele squeak. Of love did he singen all the dai For Cupid did his herte pierce they sey Around the collage from morn till eve Not a scrappe of paper did he leave.

Five merry maids for chestnuts went All on an Autumn day ; They met a lad, on mischief bent, While strolling on their way. Along the path, walked two and two — ' Twas a narrow path you know ; Down to the woods where the chestnuts grew They sauntered, oh so slow ! They two were the last of all the train, The lad and the lassie bright, The path was rough, and he was fain To assist her, as best he might. He bent his head and whispered low Into her dainty ear ; The words he spoke I do not know — I was not there to hear. A blush o ' erspread, with mantling red. The cheeks of that lassie then ; She bent her head, one word she said — ' Twas dark in that leafy glen, — So I could not see, what it could be, For I was not there, you know ; But a soft, sweet sound, was heard around.

' I ' was a glorious day, this April day of 1888, upon which we planted our famous class tree and said our last fare- well to our beloved Geometry, Nature had spread over the earth a wonderful mantle of sunshine, but solemn and sad was the task we had before us ! We were to burn upon a funeral pyre the sacred remains of our dear departed Legendre. Slowly the mournful procession formed at the College door-way, and the pall-bearers with their burden stepped forth into the happy world. Slowly we wended our way toward the chosen spot. There our solemn procession halted to gather around the grave. One heart, braver than the others, touched to the lofty pile the lighted torch, and lo ! the whole mass burst forth into one stu- pendous flame, stretching upward unto the sky ; and we saw our friend no more. All his learning, — all his logarithms, theorems, scholiums, corollaries, — all passed like smoke away, while the four winds of heaven strove to bear the sacred ashes upward, on celestial wing. But we could not suffer the remains of this friend of our past years to be thus wafted whithersoever the wind listed ; so we gathered them together and placed them in the coffin, their last resting place, and sunk them down deep into the earth. Then fell the first clod of earth with its hollow thud, and we shuddered as we gathered closer round the grave with tearful eyes and mournful voices, to sing the requiem. 122 f[N Ode. WRITTEN THE DAY AFTER THE PLANTING OF ' qo ' s TREE. Softly Stealing the Freshmen glide, The cinder path along, Toward the tree, which at eventide Was planted with revel and song. Quick ! They start back with fright — What see they there . ' In the darkness of the night How they stare ! Look yonder, comrade, see, O can it, can it be A ' 90, near the tree . ' ' O swiftly let us flee ! Calm, calm, your fears, ye Freshies bold, The Nineties are not there; Pluck up your courage now, brave lads, For you have none to spare ; Your shadows dark, are all you see ; By the pale moonbeams cast, — O quickly seize the helpless tree, The deed is done at last. In future years let this strange tale be told, And held in long remembrance let it be. That once upon a time, the Freshmen bold, From out the ground stole an itngitarded tree. 123 ] S-ul ' h7TiaT E J Urr ' ' Vai.t.

The matter is undoubtedly rather commonplace, but the humorist ' s character- istic style runs through the whole, redeeming it Irom dullness. Any inclina- tion which the rcadei may feel to say, Mures Decumani! will be dissipated for the audience by the inimitable manner of Mr. D ' s address. — Ed.] Fo3S — You are the pride of ' 89, Foss. There is no doubt about it. You know it yourself. But you have a failing. Do you remember the day, Foss, when, in the vanity of your heart, you arose in English and said that Morpheus was the goddess of sleep, the same as Orpheus? That really was too noticeable to be passed over in silence. That you may never forget that in- cident, I present you this — a complete Manual of Mythology. Study it, brother, and may Zeus preserve you from ever making another such fatal blunder. Mary — For the most part, Mary, you worthily represent the classic element in our class. But there is just one improve- ment to suggest. Your antique style of beauty was never in- tended for modern costume ; so allow me to throw around you this Roman toga — the one in which Marc Antony preached Caesar ' s funeral sermon. Now toddle off and be happy. Jennie — ' 89 gives you its Vale and its blessing. Lex — With all your perfections, Uncle, you have one glar- ing defect — that is, a roaring, rasping voice, which doth so hor- ribly grate upon our ears, that it can no longer be endured. So we have had made for you this disc of heavy felt. Place it over your mouth, carefully fitting the nose and chin pieces, and tie it this way behind your ears. It will greatly mitigate the agony of hearing you. Julia — You are our scientific young lady, Julia. You dote on protoplasm, chlorophyll and such. So here are some of the things you love best. Hold up your apron or your frock to get them in. Here is a king-crab, a grasshopper, a brood of snails, a jelly-fish, and a hornet ' s nest, all alive and active. And here is a tin horse. He is a trotter. Now trot off. Dill — You area man of exquisite taste, Crap; but if there is one thing above another in which you pride yourself as a con- noiseur, it is in the matter of cofihns. Here is one with which I am sure you can find no fault. And here are the accompani- ments — ashroudand a tomb-stone. Farewell, brother Howard, oh! Alice, Margaret, Clara, and Louie, please rise — Alice, you are a nice girl — rather. But it must be confessed, you have cut the young men of our class ein wenig nicht wahr nun ? All we desire is to heap coals of fire on your head — or any kind of coals would do. Just take your choice. 129 Margaret — Your one desire, Maggie, is to go to sea, you dote on the sea, you love to see the sea. Here is a gentleman who will gladly be of use to you. He has never been separated from the sea in his life, and you may be sure, that with him, you will always have a sea on hand. Louie, here ' s to you : A merry song, a misty maze. Do you guess it? C 1 s. Clara, there is nothing but a stone left for you. Please form in procession and march off. HissoFF — You are an awful smart boy. It can ' t be denied. You are making a mistake though in going to college so much and working for so many degrees. You might just as well have them for the asking — or without it. I ' ll give them to you. Here ' s A. M., and N. G. and Ph.D., and LL.D. and F. R. A. S., and Q. K. M. G. I., and G. D. B. F. L. O. F. H. If they aren ' t enough, come back and I ' ll give you some more. Pole — You are a hard one to find anything for. You are neither good nor bad, handsome nor ugly, diligent nor lazy, dull nor bright, cross nor sweet-tempered ; — in short, there is nothing very decided about you. As an emblem of your own medi- ocrity, I give you this glass of tepid water. Ellis — You never looked perfectly happy but once in your life, Soup on ; that was the evening when you yellocuted Spartacus in the study-room. Then your expression was simply beatific. That you may always be so supremely happy, I give you this license which permits you to say that piece as often as you wish — but never, never, in anyone ' s hearing. Roam over the pathless ocean, or lose yourself in the continuous woods and sound it forth, but never again, I beseech you, for suffering humanity ' s sake, let any hear you get off that sorry bombast. Short. — You are a young man who knows everything ; you have everything you do everything ; you are everything ; you were never in lack of anything in your life — but once. That was the time you ran out of gas. It isn ' t likely to occur again, I ' m sure, but in case it should, we provide you with this — a sack containing loo cu. m. of H. Willis. — Oh, Willis, nature intended you for an exquisite, a fanfaron, a dude ! Why didn ' t you conform to nature ' s plans ? But you will now, won ' t you ? Here is a pair of patent-leather ties, a full-dress suit, a four-inch collar, white tie, diamond stud and ring, a high hat, and a lorgnette to set you up with. After this, submit to nature ' s guidance. Elsie and Bientot — The thesaurus is exhausted. There is no present left for you. But you must have some little gift, be it trivial or even worthless. So I give you to each other. Vos valete ? 130 ;in ||cl]aii5pinl Dramatis Fersoncc. Die Herren Professoren, die fleissigen Studenten, und andere Manner und Weiber aiis dem College von Swarthmore.

Chorus. — He ' s the champion in the run, And the medals he has won They would fill a bushel-basket we are sure. [Fritz enters on a bicycle, and goes round the track, singing] : ' Twas three o ' clock in the afternoon Of a beautiful, perfect day in June, When upon the placid breast of Crum The prize I won. the champion tubber sure am I But in company I always feel quite shy; Upon the lake I ' ve rowed with General Harrison — 1 hope that you ' ll excuse me, for I feel that I have done. Chor. — He has rowed on the lake with General Harrison — But now we must excuse him, for he says that he has done. [Enter Willie S — , running] : The champion sprinter am I For me there is no match Fleet as the winds I fly I ' m always given the scratch. . For all the girls watch me, I trow And from afar adore me — And each one thinks me, I know, Mens Sana in sano corpore. Chorus of admiring and awe-struck f ems. — We all of us watch him, that ' s so For he is, as all of you know Mens Sana in corpore sano. [Enter Foss and Dode, hand in hand. They speak.] Tennis pjayers we, He. But the champion is she. She. No, the champion is he. Both. No, no, no, no, It is not so ! The champion is you, not me ! [They suddenly let go of hands and face each other.] He. I ' ll admit that you are right, I was mistaken quite, For no one could be champion but me ! She. It is wrong to contradict ! I ' ll admit that you got licked, So am now the champion, you see. Both. No, no, no, no. It is not so ! The champion ' s not you, but me ! 130 [They commence an Indian war-dance, brandishing their rackets. Enter a chorus of tennis players, who hold a net between them.] Chorus. — O do not quarrel Be still, we pray, Cease, cease your struggle And go away. You both are champions As all of us know, Neither is better Than other, so go. [Dode and Foss dance, singing.] Yes, we both are champions. As all can see, ■ Each one is best So happy are we. [The chorus join hands and go out, singing.] Tennis players we In all kinds of weather, Us you ' ll ever see Playing hard together. [Enter Flasher, followed by three satellites. He thunders forth] : I ' m the champion of everything ! Audience. Bientot beats him in running. Sats. But that don ' t matter. Audience. Foss beats him in jumping. Sats. But that don ' t matter. Audience. Dubbs beats him in wire pulling. Sats. But that don ' t matter. Audience. Ceesar had his Brutus; Charles . his Cromwell and Flasher his Shorty. Sat.s But that don ' t matter. He ' s the champion of everything. Flash. Yes, the champion of everything. Fm the champion student; the champion Athlete; the champion Politician; the champion Foot- ball player ; the champion Editor ; the champion in everything. Scene II. [The Sanctum of the Halcyon, Staft seated.] 77ie Editor. — We ' re through at last, Our labor ' s past And o ' er. Well, rack our bi-ains With useless pains No more ! The St.iff. — We have done, Be it lost or won. The battle ' s o ' er We ' re prepared to meet Victory or defeat, Naught more Can aid, we know, Our work, and so No more. ' (Curtain.) 137 Epilogue. Our work before you now we lay, To criticise, or else to praise. We ' ve labored hard for many days, And now we ' ve reached the final day When we must sadly sing our closing lay, — As one who stern mandate of Fate obeys, Baring his ill-formed work to the cold public gaze. Be not too harsh toward our book we pray, But view it kindly, with indulgent eye ; Our only wish is that, perchance, it may Be slight memento of the days gone by. With saddened hearts our last farewell we say. Our Halcyon ' s done, our pleasant task is o ' er, The curtain falls, to rise for us no more. 138 .

Notice to College Men. Our Great Shirt Factory. This factory, employing about one hundred working people oT the better class, by its thorough organization, skilled and ex- perienced supervision and perfect economy in every detail of production, — which economy includes, paying the highest wages to the skilled work-people, — is enabled by the combination of these advantages and the turning out of work on a large scale to cheapen production in a remarkable degree. Only the very best class of work is allowed a place on our counters, and no other shirts are placed there but the guaranteed products of our own unrivaled factory Among these products are : The GREAT ' WONDER shirt at 50 cents, The FAVORITE shirt at 75 cents, The STANDARD shirt at $1.00, The CUSTOM-MADE shirt at $1.25. All of these shirts are as carefully made in every detail as fine ordered work. Shirts at the same price can be found in every store. Shirts ot such qualitie=, perfect in fit, uniform and un- varying from year to year, we believe cannot be found elsewhere in any city. We thus prominently invite examination of our distinct claim to produce and sell the very best shirts for the prices that can be found in any American city. Not alone on appearance is our claim based, but on solid reliability and gen- iiine satisfaction in the wear, added to a perfection in the fit which is rarely obtained even in ordered work. One of the best Indications of the superior merits of the goods is the fact that numbers of gentlemen who previously wore ordered shirts only, are now regularly and and well suited from our made up stock. CUSTOM DEPARTMENT. Our Custom department should be mentioned in connection with the above. Many gentlemen, who for years have had diffi- culty in being fitted, are now constant and pleased patrons of this department. Our custom cutter Mr. James A.Jones, has rare skill in fitting, and we are able to guarantee perfect fit and satisfaction in all cases. STRAWBRIDGE CLOTHIER PHILADELPHIA. 141 $6.00.
