The first lot we had appears small to us now, although we thought, then, it was very large. There ' s a good reason for the greatly increased sales. People will not buy one overcoat rather than another without a good reason. It ' s not because Llama Thibet has been extensively advertised. We know that advertising don ' t sell one single thing for this store. We simply employ it as a means of telling people wh at we have to sell. If they fmd it better than they can get at other places it goes and keeps on going. That ' s the way with Llama Thibet. It don ' t fade; don ' t wear threadbare ; don ' t shine. Com- pared with the highest priced cloth made, it is as good in any respect and better in some respects. The Llama Thibet Overcoats and Suits are better this season than last. Made better ; lined better. Cloth made from a better grade of wool. Price is the same. Quantity of sizes and styles enormous. Every shape fitted well. Silk-lined, Jti4; without silk lining. |io.

Fouse Ipieface HE cycle of another year has borne to us the privilege of con- tinuing on its mission our beloved College Annual. But a brief four months ago, and we were awaiting with longing hopefulness yet dreading expectancy the decision of the Faculty as their sage discussions kept for a long time swinging in the balance the question of its continued existence. A great burden rolled away when we were greeted with the news that permission had been granted us to cont ' nue the Halcyon. Quickly were those chosen to have its immediate control, and faithfully have all worked. We profess not to have burdened our book with a message of wisdom ; we have a corps of able professors who yearly send forth such messages in their publications. Nor do we aim to have a budget of college news ; that is left to TAe Phanix on its bi-weekly trips. But it has been our desire to collect the reminiscences of the year that, as glittering jewels, will reflect a brilliant ray of sunshine upon each one ' s career from time to time, when in after years he or she shall scan its pages; to include breaks and mirth- provoking grinds; to pour upon its pages our wit in such a manner as to merit your laughter. If to your mind we have failed of our end, we trust that you will reserve your harshest criticism, remembering that the world is made up of mortals possessing likes and dislikes more varied than their number, that our work is the product of time snatched from study or recreation, and that it is more easy to tear down than to construct. We, however, trust each reader may find something that may meet with his approval. It is our hope that everything may be taken as intended. Should a chance dart happen to single you out as a victim, we assure you that it has been dipped only in the balm of jovial good-will. With these few words of introduction, we submit to you the Halcyon ' 96. 5 Brief Sketch of the Life of Dr. Spencer Trotter. R. SPENCER TROTTER was born in Philadelphia February 8th, i860. From an early age he took a lively interest in animals, but he does not attribute any of his later biological career to this, for he says: It is a trait common to all primitive states of man, since in the early days of the race a keen knowl- edge of animal life and of surrounding nature was one of the essential conditions in the struggle for existence. This primitive trait all children tend to reflect, as shown in their interest in animals. The first decided turn, however, toward the study of nature was developed when about 12 years of age. He frequently accompanied his father on hunting excursions into the country, which gave him an oppor- tunity to make a collection of birds, much prized because of its completeness at such an early age. Ornithology, he says, kept me out-of-doors and out of mischief. ' ' At the age of 15 he became associated with the Academy of Natural Sciences, and assisted in moving the big collection from Broad and Sansom Streets (present site of Hotel Lafayette) to their new quarters. Concerning his early education he says: I attended various schools from the age of 8 to 18 with various successes and disappointments to the various parties concerned. While at school I got along best at geog- raphy, natural history, and general literature. Mathematics and languages blocked me, but I loved etymology. I have always had a great fancy for delving into the meanings of words. Besides being one of the greatest interests in my life, it has been a wonderful help. I was always fond of writing, and wrote, scribbled, and drew pictures as long as I can remem- ber. He left school when but j 8 years old and got the Jessup Fund Fellow- ship of the Academy of Natural Sciences, which he retained two years. 6 From the interest aroused in physiology and anatomy through the associa- tion of the Academy, he drifted into medicine and was graduated an M. D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1883. Six months later he was appointed resident physician in the Pennsylvania Hospital, which position he retained for 16 months. The desire for unrestricted activity led him to attempt the practice of his profession. He accordingly took an office in the city, but after two years ' trial, gave it up in disgust, having realized that his inclinations were not toward the practical, but toward the scientific and literary side of his work. During this time, however, he had, in response to a request, delivered a lecture on Birds at the Academy of Natural Sci- ences with creditable success. The preparation and delivery of this work led him to think that he would like the profession of teaching. He was not long in making the attempt, and, being convinced that he had discovered his realm, secured, in 1888, his present position as Professor of Biology at Swarthmore College. This position gave him ample opportunity for pene- trating into scientific details along his chosen line. He immediately set to work to interest others in his subject, and with such remarkable success as to make the biological course, in the brief time that it has been under his charge, extremely thorough and popular. At the same time he has contributed his own opinions and discoveries to the public through various magazines. The first of these articles appeared in the American Naturanst in 1876 on The Habits of the White-footed Mouse. Among other articles are Notes on a Rare Warbler, in the Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club; The Discovery and Description of a Hybrid between Two North American Swallows, in the same journal; The Collar-bone in Mammals, and Gland Structure in the Elephant ( American Nati raiist); The Significance of Certain Phases in the Genus Helminthophila; Among the Swamp Warblers {The Auk); The American Robin and His Conquerers {Popular Science Monthly), and Birds of the Grass-land. He has also published a book entitled Les- sons in the New Geography, and has another under course of publication. The Principles of Animal Life. Swarthmore College, SWARTHMORE, Pa.

HE fifth year of the college opened in the autumn of 1873, the seven members of the Faculty of the previous year remain- ing unchanged. Four of the graduates of the first class con- tinued this year as resident graduates, and three of these acted as assistant instructors in French, German, English, and Mathe- matics. The number of undergraduates during this year was 89, of whom 79 pursued regular courses of study and 10 irregular or partial courses. Of the 79 regular students 46 pursued the Classical, and ; the Scientific Course. The number of preparatory students during the year was 176. It was in the opening of this year that the complete organization of the classes into regular Classical and Scientific Sections was fully effected. While the system of electives was still encouraged, under proper restrictions, the pursuit of one of the regular courses was earnestly recommended ; the regular and elective systems being so combined that the number of elec- tives increased as the students advanced, and in the Junior and Senior Classes the studies were largely elective. The feeling that too many of the younger students in the opening years of the college pursued irregular and elective courses to their disadvantage began now to prevail, and in the annual report for the year under consideration, this language occurs : It is a serious error to suppose that the pursuit of a select course is adapted to immature minds which especially need the advantages of system- 9 atic training in a well-arranged course of study. In the report for this year the hope was expressed that the lowest class (C) of the Preparatory School could soon be dropped entirely, and that then but two years would be required for preparation for entering the Freshman Class. Thus early in the history of the college was the desire felt to advance toward the con- dition of a fully developed college without an attached Preparatory School, a hope, however, which was not realized until about the close of the second decade. Even Class C itself was not dispensed with until after the expira- tion of more than the first decade. But the growth though slow was sure, and it is a great satisfaction now, at the close of the first quarter of a cen-- tury of our existence, to feel that the Institution is a college on a sure foundation, and taking an honorable rank among the colleges of our country. The growing need of additional accommodations for both the College and Preparatory School led at this time to the serious consideration of providing homes for those of the professors who had families by erecting separate residences for them upon the college grounds. This was partially effected two years later by erecting near the college a house for the Presi- dent and his family, and later a house in connection with the observatory by the Professor of Mathematics. But with these two exceptions no addi- tional homes have been built for the professors on the college grounds since the opening of the college. It may well be questioned whether great advantage would not ultimately arise to the college from the construction of a sufficient number of homes upon our own grounds for all of our professors who may desire to occupy them. Under careful management the money thus securely invested could be made to produce a considerable income to the college and furnish desirable homes near at hand for the professors and their families. Our ample and well situated grounds are admirably adapted to this end. The experience of Cornell University and other insti- tutions which have adopted this course may well serve us as a profitable example. It was during this fifth year of the college that the new winding walk from the college to the station was completed (replaced some years later by lo the broad, prospectively well-shaded asphaltum walk) ; additional heating of the rooms was introduced ; the painting and varnishing of many of the rooms and halls was accomplished, new water works were completed, fur- nishing a much-needed additional supply of water from a fine spring south of the college, and the erection of a new farm-house was begun. Much of the money needed for these various improvements was furnished as usual by the liberal contributions of the Managers and other friends of the college. At the close of the year the first steps were taken toward the purchase of the property known as the West Farm, adjoining the college grounds, by giving the necessary notice to the stockholders. Seven students were graduated at the close of this year, of whom five were in the Classical and two in the Science course. The fifth year of the college having closed with continually improving prospects, the sixth was opened in Ninth month, 1874, under the same bright auspices, but its early days were darkened by the loss, within a brief period, of three friends whose services had long been invaluable in the management of the college, Anna M. Hopper and William Dorse) ' , of Philadelphia, and S. B. Worth, of Coatesville, Pa This is not the place (even if space would permit) to dwell upon the individual value of these friends of the college whose interests were so dear to them, but it should be said here that, by the united labors of these three friends, who were thus called away so near together, the educational, religious and material interests of the college were guarded with watchful and jealous eyes. At the opening of this sixth year to the seven members of the Faculty who had remained unchanged for the past two years, the name of Susan J. Cunningham was now added, and she was advanced from the nominal Assistant Professorship to the full Professorship of Mathematics. Dr. Jcs. Thomas was first appointed this year as non-resident Professor of English Literature. It will be observed that the prospective stability of the college was already indicated in the very slight changes in its Professorial Staff, even in these earlier years, and one-half of the members of the Faculty for this sixth year are still members of that body at the end of a quarter of a century. During this year the college numbered 99 students, being an increase of 10 II over the number of any previous year. Of these, 49 were Classical students, 37 were Scientific, and 13 were irregular. Great care was taken to encourage students to pursue one of the regular courses provided, and so become can- didates for degrees. In the Preparatory School there were 162 students, of whom 151 were pursuing regular courses. This year the third or lowest section of Class C was dropped, and the hope again expressed that in a few years the students would be limited to the college and two classes (A and B) in the Preparatory School. In the Annual Report for this year Friends ' Schools throughout the country were earnestly advised to so arrange their courses of study as to prepare students for the Freshman Class, and the encouraging word went out that of the six graduates of the first year four were successful teachers in the college, and of the seven for the second year four were already engaged in teaching, and all among Friends. Regular courses of lectures in Physics and Chemistry were first opened this year, given to Class A of the Preparatory School, and an earnest appeal was made for the establishment of a fund for the supply of more ample means of illus- tration in the Department of Physics. It was during this year that a course of gymnastics for the girls was first regularly established. The attempt to provide separate o-i? i?ra study rooms for the Senior and Junior classes, under their own care, was begun also, but it was not found satisfactory, and after sufficient trial was abandoned, private study in their own rooms being con- sidered altogether preferable. In the earlier history of the college the subject of the advisability of the co-education of the sexes was more prominent than it has been in these later days, as it is now accepted as a generally established fact, having passed beyond the stage of general discussion. In the report for this sixth year, this language is used, and it may be here quoted as an interesting item in our earlier history : In every report since the opening of the college some allusion has been made to our experiment of the co-educaiion of the sexes. It would now seem to be time to pass it by as a qu estion fully settled, and no longer within the domain of controversy, and we should do so were it not for the fact that objections to the system have recently been raised anew in different 12 quarters, especially on the ground of its supposed effect on the health of the young women. We therefore deem it our duty to make so much allu- sion to the subject again in this report as to say that nothing which has been said or written has in the slightest degree changed our well-grounded conviction, based upon five years ' experience, that ' identical co-education is the true method. ' In the report for this year an earnest appeal is made for the establish- ment of a permanent educational endowment fund, and Friends are reminded that it necessarily costs large sums of money to build and equip a college, and so endow it that it may fully answer the highest ends for which it is designed. Stockholders are reminded that an essential differ- ence between our college and many private schools is that they are estab- lished to make money, Swarthmore to advance the interests of higher education, and that we cannot reasonably expect large pecuniary success, for the simple reason that we hope always o give to the public more than me receive from the public in return. This counsel can scarcely be too often repeated, nor too firmly impressed upon the minds of all interested in human progress, and consequently in the higher education. At the close of this sixth year of the college thirteen students were graduated : eight with the degree of A. B., and five with the degree of B. S. 13 Members of the Faculty. CHARLES DE GARMO, PH.

T is with awe, inspired by your dignity, and with reverence, caused by your achievements, that we address you, ' 95. We truly hope you will pardon the liberty we take. First, allow us to apologize for the way in which ' 96 annoys and disturbs you. It is a perfect shame, and ' 96 should have more regard for such grown-up Seniors. They tell us you have at last disposed of your surplus Halcyon money. It was very commendable in you to make it, but we really felt sorry for you when we saw how much disturbance it caused your peaceful class. What was the reason ? Because it was such a marvelous and novel experience for you to have at last really done something worth mentioning. It was not at all strange that you became dazed and confused in the presence of such a responsibility; and so for this reason, doubtless, decided to spend it on yourself, in class presentations, instead of giving something to your Alma Mater by which she might remember you in after years. True class feeling is generally considered a great assistance, but when it is mistaken for a concoction of the two poisons, selfishness and jealousy, we would imagine it would have rather disastrous effects. Perhaps you can inform us in regard to this from your experience of the use of such a mix- ture. Did you find the result was a success or a failure? We only ask so that we may know what policy to pursue, and hope you will not consider this an impertinent question, for that is far from our intention. 17 Do you remember, ' 95, that in years gone by you rather ridiculed ' 96 for placing a girl in the Presidential chair ? Yes, you remember, do you ! Well, our officer at least performed her duty, and did not refuse to preside at meetings as a certain Vice-President did whom we know. You have always led us to think that you were such a mild and gentle class, scorning anything in the form of wire-pulling. Alas ! your Senior elections have greatly altered our opinion, and especially since one of your members was heard to say, Oh ! how dreadful wire-pulling and scheming are; I never knew of such things before. Now, such actions are excusable in youth, iDut in old age they are unpardonable. However, since experience is the best of teachers, we will hope that hereafter you will judge not, that ye be not judged. Officers of the Class of ' 95. Senior Year. Secretary : Helen B. Smith.

' Rah! |OPHOMORES, after having carefully examined your record, we find it is conspicuous for what you have failed to accom- plish. You have done nothing, either good, bad, or indiffer- ent. It begins to look as though there was something lacking in your constitution. We think perhaps you need a tonic, and so would recom- mend the following prescription : 1 lb. of courage. 2 oz. of originality. 5 dr. of independence. 3 gr. of perseverance. Dose : — Twenty-five drops in a tablespoonful of conceit every two hours. 30 Drefsa.. PfUl€t . You are almost nice — but not quite. We know you miss the petting and babying you received last year, but since your younger brother, Fresh- man, has arrived, you must give up to him ; and, besides, you must not stand in the corner and cry because your nose is out of joint. If you do, we will think you and your brother should change places. Now, before it comes your turn to publish a Halcyon, one word in an- ticipation i n regard to the binding, from one who has seen the error of your allies. Choose some color which will not soil and necessitate a cover, in this manner having its light hidden under a sheet of paper. It was a very pretty idea of ' 95 ' s to have the binding of their Halcyon emblematic of their editor (White). They are indeed a bright class. But now if ' 96 might offer you a suggestion, perhaps some modest Quaker gray would be suitable for your book. At any rate it would be suggestive of your past history. Knowing the large-headed class needs no further advice, we will leave you, with the hope that the task of publishing your Halcyon will be a pleasant one. !EX -5£XII2 m 31 Sophomore Class.

' Rah! ' Rah! ' Rate! Swarthmore ! Swarthmore ! ' 98 ! HEARTY welcome to you, ' 98. So you have come to college. Well, we are glad to see you, and hope you will like it at Swarthmore. You are our ally, you know, and we feel very proud of you, because, for beginners, you have made very few mistakes. Of course, no one is perfect, and we are all liable to err ; as, for instance, wishing to elect committees and moving that a certain young lady should serve at the college reception. It is an honor to hold office, but not customary for a member to second the motion for his own nomination ; and then, not exactly good form to vote for yourselves. You could solve that difficulty by not voting at all. The only help we can give you in regard to such matters is, Live and learn. Now, really, don ' t you think this would have made you a good motto, Wisely and slow ; they stumble who run fast, for so well have you illus- trated it, especially in your acceptance of 96 ' s invitation to a reception, 34 D dcu ' Bfd7 . which, for some reason, never reached us. What do you suppose was the matter?. Lost on its way, of course. Then, too, you seem to be rather tardy in getting to your class meetings. Why, one day, we remember, you could not have your meeting at all, because it took your members so long to make up their minds to come. But — there ! there ! Don ' t pout and get angry because we touch on tender subjects. Just remember the golden rule and keep up a brave heart. Of course, you will come out on top if we only wait a sufficient length of time; but please don ' t keep us waiting too long. Well, after all, you are very nice, jolly, little Freshmen. Little? Well, no ; not quite that, for some of you are rather the contrary. Any- way, you are extremely well-behaved children, for your age, and remarkably bright, particularly in regard to saving yourselves for offices in the Senior year. Really, this is wonderfully long-headed in you ; but, then, your Senior year is a great way off; and, perhaps, you remember having heard this: Don ' t trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. Now don ' t ! Just wait ! We will stop right here and not call any more attention to your shortcomings; and just to show our good feeling toward you, if, hereafter, you should get into any difficulty, don ' t hesitate, but come immediately to ' 96, and she will be ever ready and willing to lend you a helping hand.

Though you have gone we feel your influence still, And long to look in your dear face again, But boiv our heads in silence to His will, A?id in our hearts breathe out a sad Amen. When conies our turn to break these earthly ties, And go to that far home of rest and love. We know a welcome waits us in the skies From you, who dwells in happy realms above. 39 The Literary Societies. HE value of college literary societies cannot better be conveyed than by quoting from a speech upon the subject by our ex- President, Dr. Magill. He said, The college could, at this very day, better afford to drop any one of its profes- sors rather than let the literary societies of the institution die. The power of being able to speak before a large assembly is one of the most useful of personal attainments, and nowhere can this power be acquired better than in the college society. The Eunomian, the oldest of these societies, was founded early in the year 187 1. Although its membership is now small, the work which it has done has been of the best, and its reading rooms, with the library of over a thousand volumes, is most attractive to the student. The annual Hicks prize in declamation is open to all members of the society. The Somerville society was also founded in 1871, and includes in its membership nearly all the young women of the college. On account of the large membership, the society is divided into two chapters — the Sigma and the Omicron — each holding its separate meetings. The library has been moved to the Somerville Parlors, on the first floor of Parrish Hall; and here may also be found the popular weekly and monthly periodicals. The society last year completed the Somerville Hall, which has been opened as a gymnasium for all the young women. This hall is one of the hand- somest of the new buildings which have been built on the campus. The reading of the Phrenaskia (the society journal), lectures, debates, and dra- matic entertainments constitute the work of the society. 40 Founded in 1873, The Delphic Literary Society has, by the loyalty and perseverance of its members, risen to be the largest and strongest society in college. The reading room of the Delphic, with its excellent library of over 1,200 volumes, and with its newspapers and magazines, is a centre of attraction for the college men. The work of the society consists of debates, essays, orations, extemporaneous speeches and reading of The Delphic Oracle. The Underwood prize for under-class improvement in de- bate, The Ponder prizes in debate, and the annual Delphic prizes in oratory are open to the members of the society; and the public meetings of the Delphic, which have just been instituted, are always popular. The annual public entertainment of the society this year was a session of a district school of fifty years ago. The joint meetings with the Somerville are some of the most enjoyable events of the year. 41 Eunomian Literary Society. OFFICERS. First Term. Presidents : Second Term. Samuel C.

UR Latin Seminary which did such valuable work last year has been continued this season under the leadership of Professor Price. The Society was founded in 1885, by Professor Henry W. Rolfe, who organized it after the plan of the seminars of the German universities, and gave to the organization its present name. The Seminary has, of course, never entered into such exhaus- tive investigations as have the German societies, but the attention of its mem- bers has been successively directed to mythology, ancient art, famous buildings of Rome, and the extensive study of some of the lesser Roman writers. Last year it was deemed advisable to divide the Seminary into two sections, in order that the topics under discussion in each section could better supple- ment the work of the upper and lower classes. This term the Senior- Junior section has made a study of Lanciani ' s Ancient Rome in the Light of Mod- ern Discoveries, and has also taken up several of Pliny ' s Letters, and has made metrical translations of a number of Latin Classics. The work of the under-class section has consisted mainly of a study of the customs, manners, and habits of the Romans during the Golden Age of that ancient city. The meetings of the different sections are held monthly. 50 o Senior and Junior Section. OFFICERS. President, Professor Ferris W. Price. Secretary, ELIZABETH B. Miller, ' 95. MEMBERS, Ferris W.

The work has con- sisted of a study of the Arthur Legend, of Lord Tennyson. In connec- tion with this work the students have read and discussed a very valuable and interesting book — Tennyson s Idylls of the King and Arthurian Story from the XVIth Century, by Professor Maccallum, of the University of Syd- early work was Arthur as a true figure in history, and later the Seminary dis- sources of the poem of Tennyson. Meetings are held every Tuesday evening. Members. Dr. Richard Jones, Ph. D., Marion Hunter. ' 97. Daisy R. Corson, Marietta Hicks, Laura C. Miller, Ellwood C. Parry, ' 98. Mabel C.

Its semi-monthly visits have always been looked forward to with the greatest pleasure on the part of both alumni and undergraduates. The future of the infant Phoenix, rising majestically from the flames of 1 88 1, was predicted in the columns of its contemporaries upon its first appearance in 1882, when one of them said : We find upon our table a swarthy youngster, imbrowned, doubtless, by the circumstances of its birth, called The Phcznix. Twelve sponsors stand by its cradle ever ready to guide its every movement. Let these sponsors fulfil their vows, and The Phcznix will soon stalk a giant through the land. It was founded by the class of 1883 in their Junior year, and was at first intended for a class institution, but a little later it was decided to make it representative of the whole college, and as such it has remained to the present day. The Phcenix has ever striven to advance the interests of its Alma Mater, and not only has the journal been a strong supporter of pro- gress and reform, but it has been an incentive to both literary and athletic excellence. The Phcenix track athletic cup and the old Phcenix prizes in Junior oratory bear witness to this statement. Last year it was decided to change from the old monthly to a bi- weekly, in order that it might more effectually present to its subscribers the news with which a rising college like Swarthmore teems. That the change was advantageous, has already been assured by the increased interest which both Faculty and students have taken in it. 64 n ffi z K a M 50 The Phoenix.

HE first glimpse of Swarthmore shows to the visitor the quaint ex- Colonial Hall of Parrish, standing unobtrusive on the modest knoll of the sweep- ing moor, encircled by the picturesque mansions of culture and wealth. A nearer view brings to us the linkage of the past, carrying the College back into the long ago, giving it a history, an atmosphere of en- lightenment and culture ; and we see the West House, known the world over, not only by the babbling tongues of infants lisping the nursery legend of the great painter, but by the lowly ignorant and the highly educated. Yet, on higher ground, rising above the shady maples and cedars, boldly defined against the remnant of the past, shine the clear-cut lines of The Somerville, an emblem of the new drift of our times, accentuating the strong position of Swarthmore in favor of the uplifting and elevation of our sisterhood, strength- ening the rational advancement to equality— in scope, opportunity and force — by giving to our sisters body strong and mind sound to grasp the needs of the hour. If this be given our sisters, how much finer and fitter must be the means afforded the men. But later is shown the greater advantages and thoroughness of equipment for their physical training. And — what can be shown? A rectangular, barn-like structure: nay! not even so fine ; but rather a good stable, to which many an aristocratic horse, balking, would hesitate to trust his princely self. Internally, just as fine ! Even viewed through Fortuna ' s glass, it fails to improve ; but still is uninviting, meagre, unfitted, lacking everything. A look, a gasp: Is this the Gymnasium of Swarthmore? So often have we heard this, that no longer can we with courage answer, Yes ; but now comes— Only for the present. Plans have been drawn, and soon will be erected a Gymnasium. Even this gives to us undergraduates a welcome thrill of gladness, — though when we or ours may see these limned walls in solidity arrayed, who can tell? Verily, not the Class of ' 95. Great the astonishment to those who know us, to those who have followed our history, and are ac- quainted with the prowess of our men, that from this barrenness should come our strength and might. We flatter ourselves and say, that from the humblest means spring the highest ends. True ! But we also know how high the enthusiasm, how great the loyalty, to wean us from the luxury of the cheerful, cozy room, to wade through snow and rain, to push and pull, to jump and run, to turn and swing, in this Our Gym. Her pleasing features do not entrance us. Her many beauties do not enthrall us. But duty— Spartan duty — calls us to her plain, nay, repulsive side, and bids us woo her. O ! the unflinching hardihood ! To the credit of the men of Swarthmore be it said, right gallantly has she been wooed, and won. And, in return, from her unpretentious stores, she has showered gifts of power, of strength, of glory. She has made for us a name, a station, a glorious reputation, and those of us who have passed from the portals of Swarthmore and 69 have returned in thought or body, it is to her our first loving thoughts turn — to her, our dear, old, ugly Gym. Having done so much for us, surely she needs some attention, some uplifting, some tokens of appreciation. For past neglect she deserves some beautifying. Her ress and adornments need replenishing. And so let each of us who has shared her love and duty, delve into the plenty drawn from Mother Earth — or the meagerness of sweating toil — and, bestowing his mite, transform the Ugly Duckling of Swarthmore into the most stately and queenly of the many stately halls that are, and that are to come to our beloved College. %tmtt ( tYMHASfUM TRACK 70 Winners of College Track Athletic Games Since 1888. 1888.

Meeting called to disorder by the appearance of the President. The Secretary being absent, Brother Beaa was requested to act in his stead, but declined with thanks and a few words of Ameri- can French. Brother Bean was then ordered to act. The reading of the minutes of the last meeting was dispensed with, as they could not be found, but as some one said they were correct, they were adopted. A Committee then reported that they could not jew down the ' Business Manager of the Halcyon for inserting the Y. M. C. A. cut. so ihe President answered that Committee with suitable expressions of disgust, and without a motion appointed another Committee to adopt such means as were necessary to gain that end. (At this stage of the meeting Prof. Hoadley knocked, and the President, without mo- tion, adjourned the meeting, shte die.) (Signed) H. Bean, Secretary. OFFICERS. Little Exkorter, Bean, ' 95. J5i?

You shall not study To pass away time ; But you shall play tennis As much as you please, And feed upon hash, And crackers, and cheese. When I was a little boy My mother kept me in. Now I am a tall boy And, some say, rather thin. I can run the hurdles; I can jump the bar ; In talking to a pretty girl I am a shining star. Leo says : Conic sections are vexations, calculus is as bad. Geometry doth puzzle me; for mathematics drive me mad. The Clothier of ' 96 Seemed in a fix When thinking of something to say. She, with her prim little smile, Did talk all the while, And said : ' Has thee thy Latin for to-day ? 86 Hark ! hark ! the dogs do bark, For Bouic has come for knowledge. He can declaim, just the same, And is an honor to the college. Ride a cock horse through the whole college course To see Mr. Chapin ride on a white horse. With a book on his lap and notes on his cuff, He will pass the exam., that ' s certain enough. Of all the boys Who ' round here do wander, The most mischievous one Is Charlie Chandler. Little Louise is not hard to please; As Freshman, she sat very still ; As Sophomore bold, she talked, I am told. But as a Junior she uses great skill. Two chummy class mates. Rooming together; One named Frances, The other Luretta. In the year ' 97, They will start on a tour As singer and speaker, You may feel very sure. Dickery, dickery dare, Belle and Ada are a pair ; Ada does talk some (?). But Belle is surely mum, When the boys are there. 87 Humpty Dumpty plays novice foot-ball, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall ; All the boys ' efforts were spent in vain To bring Humpty Dumpty to his senses again. Handsome Harper Firth, So very full of mirth, Does something that is extremely queer ; For ' tis the talk of town That Harper will be found Struck on a different girl each year. Little boy Fouse, Stop blowing your horn. The team ' s in the field, And many do mourn For fear you can ' t come To play in the game ; Because without you Our team would be lame. Hush-a-bye, baby Of our old class; Although you are young, We are sure you ' ll pass. Your course is in Science, But you know the way To master the study — Parlez vous Fran ais ? Sadie and Russ Were having a fuss Amid the shouts of laughter ; Soon Sadie was seen To be marched by the Dean, And Russ came following after. When Ellen came to college she kept her books upon a shelf, But all her wit and knowledge came directly from herself; She is the Puck and Judge and Life of all her class, And in her mathematics she never failed to pass. She never fails to see a joke, and, oh ! my ! she can laugh Until the tears roll down her face in a straight and narrow path. Little Miss Hallie, don ' t dillydally, But gather your locks all together; Don ' t let them get straight, but be up to date. Your knot we ' ll admire forever. I ' m a little fisher maiden. And I come from Rising Sun, And I will fish for compliments From you and every one. Hodgie was an athlete, Hodgie was a sport, . Hodgie came from Washington to take a college course.

What shall he pun on ? Every word you utter. Rub-a-dub dail, Three maids come by rail, And who do you think they be? Lucy, the Debater, The Little Illustrator, And Mary, the sport of the three. Mary, Mary, quite literary, What is your college delight? In mathematics and economics And languages you ' re very bright. Hey diddle diddle, Morrison ' s a riddle ; He takes care of the Grammar School boys. Forty periods a week, and very little sleep, Prevents co-educational joys. Schooley, Schooley, to every game goes.

In his Sophomore year He again did appear, And once more was left out in the cold. As handy with his needle As one could desire, The style and the fit All would admire — The Taylor. Political Percy pushed the price of publishing jieriodicals. The price of publishing periodicals Political Percy pushed. As Political Percy pushed the price of publishing periodicals, Here ' s the periodical the price of which Political Percy pushed. If all the college were apple pie. And beefsteak were the meat. And the cinnamon buns were filled with plums. My, wouldn ' t Plummer eat ! There is a girl from a Virginia town, She is so wondrous wise, When a question she is asked, It seems to me-er, she replies. And then there is another one. Who at the same place lives ; When her opinions she is asked. Very quickly this she gives. Sing a song of eating At a table in the college, Where four students sit, ' 96 ' s all in knowledge. 91 Albert does the carving, Frank pours the milk and water, One Mary was our secretary, The other works for her Alma Mater. Edith will soon Go up in a balloon, If she continues to get much Wilder ; For she tells great stories Of the picanninnies ' glories. And her imitations are not any milder. As I am a student, I confess I am a grind. And lack of fun and frolic is something I don ' t mind. And always in the Delphic, never have a fear But that Hanson Wilson will surely answer He re ! Keturah is now in our class. And she is welcome there ; She used to be with ' 94, And she is a student rare. 92 A Brief Summary of ' 96 ' s Doings. Freshmen Year, 1892= ' 93. Event No. i — The entrance of the class of ' 96 to College. The largest Freshman Class. Not long were we in making The College Halls our own, Instead of standing shaking, Too bashful to be known. On the platform, field, or track, By us are all forced back. When they stay in the way Of the Class of ' 96. 93 Event No. 2. — ' 96 ' s Far-famed Class-meetings. They say best men are molded out of faults; and, for the most, become much more the better for being a little bad. Event No. 3. — The First Contest with ' 95 for Sophomore-Freshmen Cup. A Foot-Ball game resulting in a victory for ' 95. But, they laugh best who laugh last. (See result of the sports.) Event No. 4. — Two games of Foot-Ball with Clifton Heights, ' 96 winning the second by a large score. This the true beginning of our end. F ENT No. 5. Oratorical contest for President ' s Prize. O ' 95 ! you thought you ' d win it, But now you see you were not in it. It takes much more than mere conceit If ' 96 you wish to beat. Event No. 6. — ' 96 as Record Breakers. Freshman Year, I893. 440 dash, Russel Gleim, 58 seconds; Mile walk, Percy Parrish, 8 minutes 5 seconds; Shot, Bouic Clark, 30 feet; 16-pound hammer, Bouic Clark, 91 feet. Event No. 7. — ' 96 won the Base-Ball game with ' 95, and also won in the track sports, thus holding the Sophomore-Freshman Cup. O ' 95 ! there ' s many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip. Event No. 8. — ' 96 Champion in Tennis. Well was it said that ' 96 was good on a racket. Event No. 9. — What would have happened had ' 96 accepted the snow-ball challenge. 94 Sophomore Year, 1893- ' 94. Event No. i. — Oratorical Contest for President ' s Prize. With bowed heads and saddened hearts the ' 97 ' s murmured, It ' s the unexpected that happens. Event No. 2. — Sophomore-Freshman Field Games. ' 96 again winning the cup. Nothing succeeds like success. Event No. 3. — Tennis Tournament. We ever maintain what once we have gained. 95 Ninety=Six ' s Plea. In a hall in Svvarthmore College Hung a picture, large and handsome — Ninety-six ' s foot-ball team. Once about the hour of midnight, When the watchman e ' en was sleeping And the lights were dimly burning, Came some footsteps light and stealthy To this hall so still deserted — Footsteps of our rival classmen, Footsteps of some Ninety-five men. Boldly to the picture went they — Boldly from the hook they took it — Took it without word or warning. Without any one ' s permission. To the hall above they glided, Hung the frame without the picture, (Woeful sight for all observers). Hung it high above the timepiece. Which did warn them with its ticking — Ninety-six will sure outwit you. But we got the frame next morning — Got the frame with little trouble. But we never found the picture. All these years now have we waited — Waited patiently and long, Till your hard hearts should be softened And our picture you ' d return. If at times we have been cruel, Snatched from out your hands rich prizes Pardon us. We could not help it, Victory was no fault of ours. Ninety-five, you soon must leave us, Soon must bid us all farewell ; Ere you go, O fellow-students ! Leave behind one act of kindness — Kindness as a sweet reminder That you once dwelt here among us. Bold we know were all you classmen. Deft those hands that, not opposed, Dared to face the silent portraits Of the men they feared to grapple. Candor is the sign of boldness ; Ere you leave your Alma Aiater, Give, oh ! give us back our trophy,, That, unable to resist you. Left its merited position. 97 Our Reception Parlor. On First and Fourth-day evenings, A strangely mingled throng In our reception parlor Their voices blend in song. Near by a Yeo sits talking ; A Lodge nor traveler ' s throng ; There Wells not used for drinking A Bell peals forth in song. A worthy Bond unites it, Queen of the East Wing band, Who pitches those on Ch(e)airs round, From the fork within her hand. There, too, a small Shoemaker, Her Bristol at her side, Doth eye askance the Taylor, Who also has espied There Miller - four to Riddle And sieve the golden grains, To Rock-well the dusty hopper And separate with pains The Hull and Shell and flour, Directing each to fall In Pylej immense for bagging, Yet there no Griest at all. Two Clothiers in th ' assemblage From Penn ' s old Quaker Town. The one wears looks quite sober — The other wears — a gown. Our Trotter, too, quite strangely. Is seen to walk alone. ' .Mid Lilliej, scenes e ' en Wilder, Walker to sit is prone. And there behold the Furman, There, too, the Hunter bold Beside that Chap-in clothing Of lands bleak, Pierc(e)z;z ' - cold. Why should we care for winter With Coale and Coles at hand ; Would one at present Prices, Who owned a Nicholl, strand ? Our highest Leiper jumps not, But Parry ' s round sometimes. While Sullivan ' s — medley of girls From lessons takes his time. Some boys within this Parrish ' Mid Roses long to stay ; Some follow well this motto : A Will(iams) means a Way. And here we leave this strange group- This motley , mingled throng, Each at his occupation. His voice blending in song. 98 Two Points Scored. A Senior nursing his first mustache, A Freshman maiden on a mash. Quoth he, to vex lier, I know you run Upon the track, and skate for fun ; You sing, and dance, and cards don ' t shun ; Why don ' t the girls play foot-ball? He smiled in a way that was cruel as sin. A sense of injustice rose within, As she thought of the games where he had been The object of her praise. Then the faintest blush her face o ' er-ran, As she answered our valiant foot-ball man, With a winning smile that she only can Successfully command : It isn ' t nice to tackle and run. And one gets awfully tanned by the sun. But once in a while for the sake of the fun In the alcove we do touch-down. That man never faltered, nor left his place, But tackled her gently about the waist. She whispered held with winning grace. And then touched-down for safety. 99 Warning to Ladies. Some girls, I regret, linger long in the halls ; A lady would never do that ; And should one be needed, a friend loudly calls ; A lady would never do that. Now, if a friend would require any time, Instead of a yell, the stairs I would climb. Nor converse with loud voice ; while that is no crime. Yet a lady would never do that. Some girls tarry long when the parting bell rings; A lady would never do that. It perhaps gives you pleasure, but to me sorrow brings; A lady would never do that. Now, girls, when the bell sounds, just then you should rise And not try to show much regret or surprise. Or wait in the alcove, or converse with your eyes ; For a lady would never do that. And don ' t go in couples, if skating should come; A lady would never do that. And don ' t find a log on the banks of the Crum ; A lady would never do that ; And there pass the hours, perhaps out of sight, And talk of the stars while yet it is light. And do such bad things, when you know they aren ' t right ; For a lady would never do that. Pictures. I. Autumn, cool autumn, round the college reigns; Tempting, the apples to the branches cling ; Clear, through the night air, rise some tender strains To gentle listeners from the Eastern Wing. II. Dawn at old Swarthmore, and the clang of bells That fiercely bid the weary sleeper rise ! Dawn at old Swarthmore ! As the music swells A second time, the student opens his eyes. III. Snow o ' er the campus spreading far and wide. Snow o ' er the campus, sparkling ice on Crum ; Swift on the crust the jingling sledges glide And to the Inn the merry skaters come. IV. Pure moonlight, over Swarthmore ' s walls is shed Pure moonlight, and the ghostly shadows play. And on the asphalt sounds a lonely tread, As some spent wand ' rer makes his midnight way. V. Summer, bright summer, leaves the college lone ; Silent the halls, unused the alcove lies ; Night wraps in darkness the bleak walls of stone ; Each merry lass and lad swift homeward hies.

The calm Dean glanced, With troubled look. At one that shook And sore amazed Before him gazed At what did make This strange earth-quake ; For there before Him on the floor Was ginger cake Of Swarthmore make. 103 On Meeting Day. Straight and narrow is the pathway That all Swarthmore ' s children take When the bell upon the laundry Bids them weary care forsake. Many a sleepy man and maiden, Who their breakfasts have foresworn, Rise to do that old bell ' s bidding; For who dares its summons scorn ? Forth we march in staid procession, Some with spirits grave, some gay, Conning o ' er our texts late chosen, As we slowly wend our way. Like an old-time Quaker bonnet Sits the meeting-house, wherein We on benches hard as granite Do repent us of our sin. There before us sit the elders On their cushioned seats serene, Wonder at the sighs and whispers, Look with mild, reproachful mien. Slowly drag the drowsy minutes. Till our President looks down, With a glance of kindly pity. On the wearers of the gown. Straightway rise those knowing Seniors, Joyfully the fresh air seek. And we others can but follow ; We will meet again next week. 104 It Is Rumored That : Mcllvain is sometimes late. Doc Shell will win the State cup. Moore wants pets in the alcoves. Dr. Day has discovered a new brand of tobacco which needs less chewing. Beardsley ' s jokes improve with seasoning. Dr. Hull is out for the races. Miss Cunningham can square infinity and extract the cube root of zero without memory. Dr. Trotter is highly pleased with his Freshmen in Biology. Bayley was found in a fit When Chapin misplaced a chisel a bit. Fouse misunderstood a lesson. Pfahler has no time for social hour. Firth goes to the Reading Room occasionally. Roland Kent took ether to be vaccinated. Mrs. Townsend once jw 7 ? when she handed out a second dish of fruit. Battin has heard an anthem sung somewhere. Chapin once wrote an essay. E. Lippincott is raising a mustache. There is a mandolin club on the East Wing. Dr. Jones, absorbed in an account of the Swarthmore-Haverford game, forgot a recitation. A student fell in one of the cracks in the asphalt walk and was greatly injured. E. Hutchinson would have liked Moore skating this year. The Misses Shaw and Harrison are tired of co-education. C, H. prefers to be called Kentucky rosebud to Kentucky race-horse. The addition to the Science Hall is merely to look at. The Seniors are overtaxing their eyes in efforts to graduate. 105 Calm After a Storm. Two Seniors with looks learned, And brains heaped high with lore, Came swiftly through the alcove Of classic old Swarthmore. What was their haste, why flew they To gain the study hall, Where students from all classes Were gathered — one and all ? ' Twas this — the generous Seniors Had called a big mass- meeting. And came with studied speeches And cherished hopes of beating. ' For Juniors, Sophs, and Freshmen Had claimed the cap and gown, And each his was going to order Next time he went to town. But this could ne ' er be granted, x nd so they argued on — The younger classman too young This sign of brain to don. io6 One timid Senior fellow- Here thought that all should see If Seniors lost sole right of gown, They lost their dignity. To save them from this great loss And quell their storming rage, The gowns were left to them alone In honor of their ase. College Couplets. M son M itt. C ier C rs. C ier C bers. L cott L mb.

We had copied each other ' s note-books for daily recitations. We love mathematics too well to bid them adieu. We didn ' t want to break the record of other classes. That tired feeling. Our ponies refused to trot. Paralysis of the brain. Indigestion after a hearty lunch. Inability to bluff.

An hour ' s skating is beneficial for a student, but more is ruinous to the appetite, because the exercise becomes more attractive than the dinner. Two athletic ' 95 ' s plucky to the core.

Advice to Under Classmen : When you attain the necessary knowledge and dignity which is essential to wear the cap and gown, forebear to wear your gown to lunch, otherwise the china might suffer. N. B. — I forgot to tell you all not to be goats. At the blackboard so calmly did Russ take his stand. Just to mark the result of the election in hand ; For the ballot was cast just to see who should keep The ninety-six money all safe in a heap. Of the candidates one was our Sadie, and so Only this was enough to cause blushes, you know. When it seemed that the election would come out a tie, Russ began to get rattled and his judgment did fly. Three or four extra votes he then quickly begun To mark opposite Sadie instead of just one. And to add to the fun he created, no doubt, Of th ' opponent ' s just votes he rubbed three or four out. Still laughter increased and he grew very red. And to cap the whole climax he just lost his head. The result of it was a new election we had, And when Sadie was treasurer Russell looked glad.

The next day after the feast of the tribe called the A T ' s was the first day of the week, and a great multitude was assembled at the College. Among them was John, whose surname was Hutchinson, and he tarried until even- ing, and many marveled at him staying, and said one to another. Is this the king of the A t ' s? At eight o ' clock the king took leave of his brethren and set forth for the station. 2. Meanwhile twenty of the Pharisees were assembled on the campus, saying one to another, Watch ye, that he may not escape. When he was come in sight, the chief priest saith unto his disciples. Bring him hither, and they brought him. 3. Now there was much mud on the campus, and John saith unto the chief priest, Wilt thou grant that my trowers be turned up ? And straight- way it was done. 4. John was sore amazed and knew not what to do. The chief priest ■ saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, if thou movest not thou shalt receive no harm. 5. And the chief priest took from his pocket a pair of scissors and cut off half of the mustache of John, and great was his terror. Soon the twenty disciples returned to the Col lege, and John hastened to the President and reported unto him what had happened. The President saith. My soul is exceedingly sorrowful for thee ; tarry thou here this night. 6. On the following day, early in the morning, John entered the eating-hall, and many marveled that he wore no mustache, 115 y. Straightway after the mid- day feast, there appeared in the midst one who was called a constable, and saith unto five of the twenty disciples. Follow me. And the five were sore afraid, but they obeyed his commands. And there descended unto the station with them the rest of the twenty who had been present at the cutting of the mustache, and others. 8. While the train was approaching the station the President saith unto John, Knowest thou not that what thou doest is foolish? And John saw the error of his ways and repented. The multitude then ascended to the College with great rejoicing. 9. In the evening there assembled in Room N the Athleticites, and John was present in the midst. He spake unto them with much feeling, and moved them to pity. 10. And on the following day they sent him from the synagogue of Swarthmore College, saying, Return not, for such is the desire of the people. And after his departure the twenty disciples were afraid, for they knew not what the next days would bring forth. 11. During the days between the cutting of the mustache of John and the departure of the twenty disciples, the President received many letters chastising him because he had not decreed that the twenty disciples should be cast out forever. 12. But it came to pass that on the twelfth of March, 1894, the chief tribe of the College, called the faculty, was assembled to consider the punishment for the deed of the twenty disciples, and many there were who trembled at the result. 13. And the President came unto them, saying. Why stand ye here all the day idle, go ye home to work in your fathers ' gardens for thirty days. And they marveled not at his sayings. 14. But it came to pass that on the following day, early in the morn- ing, the twenty disciples with a multitude of followers stood on the platform of the station. For broad is the asphaltum and straight is the way that leadeth to the station, and many there were who went down thereat. 116 15- And there descended from the College and stood in the midst, one of the faculty, saying unto the women, Verily, verily, I say unto you, except you have had permission to cross the ashen path, you shall not enter the platform of the station. 1 6. And they answered and said, Where three or four are gathered together and two are Seniors, thou shouldst not reprimand them. But many were sore troubled and retraced their steps. 17. And for thirty days the twenty disciples did not enter the College. 117 5warthmore a la Shakespeare, Richard III : Act V, Scene 3. DRAMATIS PERSONS. King Richard. Several Ghosts.

Among friends I had been living and was peacefully inclined ; I was gentle and forgiving ; people used to call me kind ; I had never hurt a fly or caused a living creature fear, But this happy state was prior to my Swarthmore Freshman year. Now with rage my heart is filled and in the laboratories I Spend my spare time with a skilled hand mixing poisons on the sly. In my room I keep a store of deadly weapons, and at night I spend hours, three or four, of practice in their uses right. I ' ve a dagger. Halcyon personal, cutlasses, and two shot-guns; I ' ve a sword, and what is worse a repertoire of awful puns. For I ' ve sworn it, ' tis my mission to pursue, efface, destroy Every one without omission. Senior, Freshman, girl, or boy, Who, despite a law transcendant which he ' s heard, I must assume, Rules the world from end to end, can ' t keep still in the reading-room. Not alone on terra fi7-)na does this stipulation hold, But ' tis said in realms infernal the same regulation ' s told. And you ' ll find this law is bowed to, even in Inferno ' s gloom ; Little devils aren ' t allowed to whisper in a reading-room. And I know if Signor Dante, who saw much that others miss. Had been asked, In heaven can ' t the angels talk in a place like this ? ' ' He would answer, I remember in the region of the blessed All the reading-rooms were quiet, none their sanctity transgressed. He ' s not fit to live in paradise, nor yet in realms below, Who will not on this earth be wise and battle with this woe. Who will not to the bitter end, through sunshine and through gloom, Our universal rights defend, and still the reading-room. SWARTHMORE COLLEGE, Jan. 8th, 1895. Dear Edna : Am writing in the greatest haste, but want to tell you I will not be able to visit you to-night as usual, and I am dreadfully disappointed. The Swarthmore boys are in a panic, and it is my duty to help them all I can. The Junior Promenade takes place next week, and the boys must have some practice in holding girls. The College and village damsels, knowing their reputation as dancers, break it off on them, since they can only dance the plain quadrille (with which they began), and this these girls declare to belong to the Dark Ages. Now this, Edna, is what I ask you to do : scour the country all over this afternoon, and get all the dressmakers, school teachers, cooks, and chambermaids you can (get as pretty ones as possible), and send them to Swarthmore to-night on the 7.03 train. Let them come C. O. D., for the boys have agreed to bear this expense, and also their entrance fee. Get all you can ; for the whole West Wing sorely needs this practice. Be sure to bring all the iron protectors and Pond ' s Extract you can; for the poor girls will need them. Edna, if you do this for us, the boys will owe you a life-long debt, and will rejoice that some girls at least are not fickle but sincere. I must tell you that I was quite late this a. m. for class, but Dr. Day said it would be all right when I told him that I was in Morton. In greatest haste, yours, with a load of responsibility, Chas. a. Schooley. P. S. This great Promenade is to be the event of the season.

The laws of this country divide Life Insurance Companies into two classes : In the one, or old line, the net premium is fixed by law, and the difference between the gross and net premium is assessed by the corporation making the contract. If the death rate is greater, or the rate of interest earnings is less than that fixed by law, or if a depreciation in investments impairs the legal reserve, failure is likely to result. In the other Class, designated assessment, the entire premium is assessed by corporate authority, and hence, such companies cannot be judged as a class, but every com- pany must stand on its own merits. Assessment means naming by an authority a rate to be paid for a benefit in opposition to a rate fixed by law. The level flexible premium rates of The Fidelity are based on past insurance experi- ence, were constructed by the eminent actuary, Mr. L. G. Fouse, who is also President of the Association, and have been assessed or approved by its corporate authority, viz. : the Board of Directors. The plan of The Fidelity affords absolute security at a minimum outlay. L. G. FOUSE, President. W. S. CAMPBELL, Sec. Solicitor. ALEXANDER McKNIGHT, Vice-Pres. O. C. BOSBYSHELL, Treasurer. S. C.
