IftagiU. R. EDWARD H. MAGILL was born on the 24th of September, 1825, in Solebury, Bucks County, Pennsylvania; the son of Jonathan P. and Mary W. Magill, both active members and ministers in the Society of Friends. Until 1839 he studied in the family and public schools of the neighborhood ; in that year he went to Westtown Boarding School, where he remained two years. Immediately after leaving Westtown, at the age of sixteen, he began the long career of teaching, which he has continued with his never-failing enthusiasm — with breaks of several years at a time, for college and foreign travel and study — for a period of fifty seven years. During the early time, after leaving Westtown, he taught in the Friends ' School, Race Street, Philadelphia, and in Benjamin Hallowell ' s School, at Ale.Kandria, Virginia. In the year 1849 he went to Williston Seminary, at Easthampton, Massachusetts, for a special preparation for college, entering Yale in 1850. A year only was spent at Yale. Just at this time Dr. Francis Wayland, President of Brown University, coming home from Europe, published his pamphlet on the elective system, then not in use, but since universally adopted in the college curriculum. This system attracted Dr. Magill to Brown, where he graduated in 1852, with the degree of A. B., taking his A. M. one year later by examination, a new method at that time. His experience of the working of the elective system at Brown had an important influence in his shaping the college course at Swarthmore, in the early years of the college. After graduating at Brown, Dr. Magill was for seven years Principal of the Classical Department of the Providence High School, and from there he went to the famous Boston Public Latin School, where he was sub- Master for eight years. In 1867 he went abroad for travel and study, chiefly in Italy and in France, where he attended lectures at the College de France and the Sorbonne, in preparation for his French books, then in process of publication. In 1869, at the opening of the College, he came to Swarthmore, as Principal of the Preparatory School. In 1870 he was appointed President of the College, a position which he filled for nineteen years, until the year 1889. At that time he again went abroad for a year of rest and study, and on his return — having resigned the position of President, the arduous duties of which had begun to wear on him after so many years — he took the chair of Professor of French, which he has filled ever since. While still at Boston Latin School Dr. Magill published a series of French text-books, a Grammar, a Reader. and selections of French Prose and Poetry. While at Swarthmore he has published a Reading French Grammar, and edited, with notes, four volumes of modern French literature. Dr. Magill was made a member of the Phi Beta Kappa on graduating at Brown, and is an active member of the Modern Language Association. About ten years ago he recommended, in a series of lectures delivered in the colleges of the State, the formation of the College Association, which has since grown and become an important factor in the life of the colleges and universities ; having been extended to embrace all the colleges of the Middle States and of Maryland, as well as the preparatory schools. The degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by Haverford College some years ago. 10 1897. Ninth Month 22D, Examination for Admission. Ninth Month 23D, Regular Exercises Begin.

HE work of the College was resumed at the beginning of the tenth collegiate year (1878-9) without any change in the members of the Faculty, except that the President, in addition to his other duties, was made Professor of the Latin Language. A considerable reduction in the price of board and tuition was made for the present year, to be made especially applicable to Friends ' children and all others who were preparing to become teachers. The result of this reduction was a largely increased attendance, and the income, even at the lower rate, increased faster than the expenses. From 105 College students and 106 in the Preparatory School for the previous year, the number advanced to 1 13 College students and 149 in the Preparatory School, or a total increase of about 25 per cent., though most of this was in the Preparatory School. A very considerable part of the increase in numbers here noted is to be ascribed to the establishment at this time of a Normal Department for the special training of those desiring to teach, to which department students were admitted as an experiment at a greatly reduced rate. Lectures were given to these students on the Theory and Practice of Teaching, and opportunity was offered for practical experience in teaching, under competent professors, by using the classes of the Preparatory School as Practice Classes. A Normal Diploma was also offered for a full course of study in this department, and for those who had partly completed such course First or Second Certificates were given. 12 This combination of Normal School and College work was entered upon with some misgivings as to the result. The attempt to make Practice Classes of our Preparatory students caused dissatisfaction, as their instruction was placed under the care of inexperienced teachers, and the apparent necessity of introducing younger students for these classes discouraged those who looked forward to making Swarthmore a College of equal standing with the best colleges in the country. After a few years ' trial the experiment was abandoned as unsatisfactory with the material at our command. The later introduction of the study of Pedagogics, as a part of the College course in the upper classes, has accomplished the end intended in the introduction of the Normal Department, without the objections that were earlier urged against it. No new buildings were erected during this tenth year of the College, but a new impetus was given to improvement in the neighborhood by the erection of several houses on adjoining property, among which were those of our Superintendent and our Professor of Civil Engineering. It was also during this tenth y ear that a material improvement to our grounds was effected by a change in the direction of the road in front of the College. The whole number of students who attended the College and Preparatory School during the first ten years was 1,335. At the opening of the College for the eleventh year (1879-80) there were 266 names upon the roll, a greater number than on any previous year. About one-half of these were children of members of the religious society of Friends. The tendency toward making Swarthmore a College began now to be more and more obvious, from the advance made in its courses of study, and the greater maturity of those seeking admission. Of the 266 students present this year, just 200 were either in the College classes or in Class A of the Preparatory School. There was one important change made in the Department of Instruction the present year. After ten jears of faithful and efficient service, since the opening of the College, as teacher and Professor of History, Maria L. Sanford resigned her place, and accepted a similar position in the University of Minnesota, at Minneapolis. The objection made to the use of Preparatory students as Practice Classes in the Normal Department was partly removed this year by using for this purpose only Classes C and D, the lowest in the Preparatory School. The Library now began to claim the serious attention of the friends of the College, as being one of our valuable auxiliaries in the great work of education in which we are engaged. The Friends ' Historical Library was also materially increased this year by the gift of one hundred volumes, relating to the early history and literature of Friends, donated by our friend, Charles Thompson, of Manchester, England, in commemoration of his visit to the College during the Centennial year. 13 For several years the course of study in the College had now included a constantly increasing attention to the study of English, and this growing interest is indicated in the following words taken from the Managers ' report ; In this department a mere general knowledge of our literature, with names and dates, is not ' considered sufficient, but during a four years ' course such representative authors as Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Cowper, and Wordsworth are read with the same careful attention required in the Greek and Latin classics. The histoiy and growth of the language itself are considered, and its character, at the different stages of its development, care- fully noted. It was during this eleventh year of the College that, through the generous liberality of Joseph Wharton, a commodious meeting-house was erected on the College grounds. The meetings had been held until now in the general study room (now known as the Assembly Room) in the College. After the change of place the meetings continued to be held, as before, under the immediate direction and control of the College authorities. They were also attended by Friends and others from the neighborhood, and occasionally by visiting Friends. The following passage from the annual report of the Managers in 1S79 will be read with interest : Increasing care is taken to inculcate among the students, both by precept and example, the principles and testimonies of our religious society, and we feel warranted in saying to Friends everywhere that Swarthmoie is yearly becoming more and more worthy of their confidence and support in this important particular. The authorities are well aware that, with the large number of colleges now existing in the country, there was no room and no need for the establishment of another, except to furnish to our children and others opportunities to obtain a thorough collegiate course in a well-regulated lioine, and under the guarded care of Friends! ' The College reopened for its twelfth year in the autumn of 1880 with the same Faculty of government as that of the previous year. The principal change in the Department of Instruction was the resignation of Miss Marie Under- wood after several years of highly valuable services as Instructor in Elocution. Her efficient and conscientious labors for her department in the College deserve more than a passing notice, and for some account of her subsequent career and early death, the reader is referred to a notice in the Friends ' Intelligencer and Journal lox Second month 12th, 1898. The beginning of the elimination of the Preparatory School took place by the omission of the lowest class the present year. Notwithstanding this omission, the whole number of students was the same as last year, 266, being the largest number yet reached in the history of the College. 14 The need for a separate Scientific Building, felt for several years on account of the rapid growth and great importance of the Scientific Department, was earnestly pressed by the Managers in their report this year, and the sum of not less than $25,000 was suggested as the lowest amount for which such a building could be con- structed and properly furnished for the work required in the Departments of Chemistry, Physics, and Civil Engineering. To meet this pressing need, as well as for the necessary increase of the Library, and for the various improvements in the building and grounds, the importance of establishing a large permanent fund was again pressed upon the attention of the stockholders and friends of the College by the Managers in this year ' s annual report. It was during this year that the asphaltum walk from the College to the station was constructed, and the row of young oaks planted upon each side of it, with the fond hope of furnishing shade to future generations. At this writing, seventeen years later, that hope still promises to be realized. The death of Lucretia Mott occurred during this twelfth year of the College, and I feel that I cannot more appropriately close this brief outline of three years of College work than by quoting the following conclusion of the Managers ' report made at this time to the stockholders : It seems fitting, on this occasion, to refer to the loss which we have lately sustained in the death of our friend, Lucretia Mott, whose voice was ever heard in our annual meetings, cheering us with words of counsel and encouragement. She believed that the right cultivation and training of the intellectual faculties enlightened and enlarged the mind so as to make it a more fitting receptacle for Divine light and truth ; and as she was one of the earliest and ablest advocates in our society for a higher standing of education, her sympathies and inter- ests were enlisted in the first efforts to provide for the need she had long felt. The system of joint education also received her cordial approval, and although never one of the Managers of Swarthmore, she manifested a warm and living interest in the work from the beginning. A few months before the College opened, her husband remarked that, if they were younger, it would be a satisfaction to himself and Lucretia to offer their services gratuitously for the benefit of the institution, and added that they felt that they could devote their lives to no nobler or more useful work. The memorial trees which they planted still flourish on our grounds, and we can only trust that the interests and hopes that were planted with them may also flourish and bear fruit in the future. IS Hwent s jfiftb Hnnual Commencement. N the eighteenth of June, 1873, Svvarthmore College graduated her first class. Since then each succeeding springtime has found our Alvia ilf« ' r prepared to send forth a new group of students, until, on the eighth of June, 1897, she held her twenty- fifth annual commencement. In honor of this event the customary commencement exercises were dispensed with, and a program appropriate to the occasion was prepared. The Graduating Class was represented on this program by Frank Grant Blair. PROGRAM OF EXERCISES. Opening Address, ...

SWARTHMORE COLLEGE, SwARTHMORE, Pa. l AR BOB : — You want to know about the Seniors, do you ? They go traih ' ng around in long black gowns, smiling at the Sophomores once in a while, but usually stringing a lot of words together like this : Sensational and reproductive brain-processes combined give us the content of our perceptions. Who ever wanted to combine a process for contenting his perceptions or his senses? I don ' t usually attempt any such operation by conversing with them. The Juniors (they ' re the people here, too, I can tell you) say that until they cured them, the Seniors had a sort of light-fingered tendency — actually danced off with some ice-cream once, but paid the fiddler (Kugel ' s bill), and got no reception to boot. They thought they were orators, too, but the ' 99 ' s gave them some points on that in ' 96. Then, ' oh, Bob ! you can ' t half appreciate this, for you haven ' t seen them ! But they tried to sing ! Published a glee book ! The result is that about three people go into the parlor on Wednesday night to sing College songs, and poor Mrs. Bond is in despair for fear the dear old custom will be forever abandoned. Nobody seems to see that it is because the ' 98 ' s have sprung a glee book on the College without any glee in it. Their main fault, anyway, seems to be lack of humor. They got out another book, with a good cover, last year, the Halcyon of ' 98, and believe me, there isn ' t a joke in it — just a few awful attempts, that is all. On the very last page they thought they had struck a winner! — Lost. — Stray piece of muslin from the dome. Class of ' 99 ■■ But that is no joke, either, for it isn ' t lost. I saw it in a Junior ' s room only yesterday. I suppose it is kind of mean to talk about them any more, for they started out large — in numbers and expectations. But what with leaving college — ahem ! Overcome by the hard conditions of over-wrought nerves and under-wrought work, not a third of the original class will get their sheepskins.

Y DEAR BOB: — I believe I haven ' t told you about the Sophomores, have I? Well, don ' t you remember when you were down here, at ' 96 ' s commencement, how the ' 99 ' s were congratulated on having just escaped the state of nothingness ? If you could now behold Naughty-Naught ' s condition, any explanation of ' 96 ' s congratulations would be utterly superfluous. I won ' t attempt to describe zero ; it always was just as hard for my brain to grab as infinity. At their reception, if it hadn ' t been for their motto — Don ' t despair — I certainly should have committed suicide when I saw their class-banner. They asked if I didn ' t think it out of sight, and I said, I thought it ought to be. However, it is a pretty good representative of their class; so brassy, you know; producing a fairly good effect when seen from a great distance. I tried to talk to them about the Glee Book, but they didn ' t seem to like that subject, and I have since learned the reason. It reminded them of a serious leg-pull to the extent of $30 and an empty treasury. When they began to brag about their athletics and such like, I didn ' t do a thing to them. No, you don ' t! said I. How about the track sports and your track meet with the Grammar School? and how many Fresh- man records did you break in the College sports ? and how about those ' 99 ' s on the front asphaltum ? You didn ' t think I knew about those things, did you, you little orators, aber nit? Just then they brought in the ice cream, so that the heat of the di cussion cooled. They ' re a queer set, anyhow — labor under the delusion 37 that swiping is a high form of wit. Why, if you ' ll believe it, one night when we had gone down to dinner, with that noble honesty so highly commended in the ' 98 Halcyon, they took our Freshman caps. Of course, we vowed vengeance— and bare-headedness for a season. But not for long ; a little persuasion, nocturnally applied, brought back our bonnets to us ! My one disappointment. Bob, is that I haven ' t seen their four-footed member, which I believe was only on exhibition one evening last spring. Of course, there are plenty of their number who give us frequent reminders of that representative ' s chief characteristics, but I would like to get a glimpse of the original object to see into what sort of a phenomenon it has developed. Now, Bob, write soon. Yours as ever, Willie. iD( B 38 Class of 1900, OFFICERS. Preside7its : George B. Evans, ist Term ; William H. Thatcher, 2d Term. Vice-Presidents : Edmund A.

Y DEAR SON WILLIAM : — I have just been looking over thy letters to Robbie, and was very much amused at thy description of the Seniors and the Sophomores ; but does thy professor in composition recommend the use of so much slang? I should like thee to endeavor to become a college mail, and put away childish things. Is it absolutely necessary, William, for thee to attend every one of those daily class-meetings? I fear they take too much time and have sapped some of that youthful intellectual vigor which used to secure firsts for thy report in High School days. Try to think well before thee speaks and acts. I don ' t wonder the professor laughed when thee asked him if they taught palmistry at Swarthmore ! Oh ! my dear boy, has all my training had no effect? How many times have I told thee that it is exceedingly rude to eat with thy knife ? Sister had a nice letter from Jack the other day. He said that they (the Juniors) watched you Freshmen very closely and anxiously for the first few weeks of college, and were extremely glad to find that you were not so conceited and blind with foundationless pride as was last year ' s Freshman class. His report seemed very favorable, indeed ; but let me just quote thee that portion of the letter to which I refer He said : That Freshman class is a great gang now, I ' ll tell you. We Juniors hardly know what to think of them, but have about concluded that they are no worse than the common run of Freshmen. They make about the same mistakes, have about the same number of special class-meetings, and give their texts in meeting with the 43 same trembling, excuse-me-for-living tone as their predecessors have done. Their kiddishness, of which they had the Hon ' s share, I must confess, is rapidly wearing off under the influence of their allies. They evidently know a good thing when they see it, the way they take to ' 99. Taking all in all, I think we are very well satisfied with our little proteges. The foot-ball game and the cap affair have shown that they have plenty of good class-spirit and know how to display it. Of course, it isn ' t their fault that they are so young; and then, you know, they ' ll grow. In the sweet bye- and-bye the girls will probably put up their hair and the boys will learn how to act natural in long trousers, high collars, and sporty neckties. So I guess you must be getting along very well. Be a good little boy, now, and don ' t get into trouble. With lots of love, Thy Mother. 44 Class of 1901. OFFICERS. Presidents : G.

HE Scientific Society was organized in March, 1895, and later received the name of The Joseph Leidy Scientific Society of Swarthmore College. Its object is to keep abreast with the dis- coveries in the scientific world. There are five sciences included in the work of the Association — Astronomy, Biology, Physiography, Chemistry, and Physics. The programs of the meetings consist of a report from the instructor in each of the above departments concerning the recent discoveries in the respective sciences. Papers are then read by the different members on topics of scientific interest, followed by an open discussion from the Society. The interesting character of these programs is shown by the full attendance at the meetings, both from the College and borough. The Executive Committee consists of a committee of three from each department, one instructor, and two students. The residents of the borough of Swarthmore are eligible to membership as well as the students and officers of the College. The meetings are held in Science Hall on the first Fifth-day evening of each month during the College year. 70 : iiiZ REORGANIZED AS ■ HE JOSEPH LEIDY SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY 1895 1st Term, Arthur C.

J HIS Association is intended primarily for students, instructors, and other members of our College community interested in the Society of Friends ; but a considerable number of the neighbors are members, and actually identified with its work. The objects of the organization are two-fold: first, the study of the history, literature, and principles of the Society; and second, the consideration and discussion of the vital questions of the present day from the standpoint of a Friend. The regular meetings are held in the College parlor, on the evening of the third First-day of each month during the College year. OFnCERS. President : Dr. William Speakman.

Behold, Ninety-nine went forth to sow ; and it came to pass as they sowed that some fell into the hands of the Faculty, and the waste-basket devoured it up. And some fell by the wayside, where it was trodden upon by the Editor, and because it had no root it withered away. But some fell upon good ground, and sprang up and bare Halcyons an hundredfold. 107 ®ur College. By the faith of our fathers builded on the soil that the Founder trod, Endowed with the prayers of mothers that rose to the throne of God ; The aim of the seer ' s rapt vision, and the end of toil untold, And dowered by the love of Learning and not by the love of Gold, Arose our gray-walled College to strengthen the fai th for aye. With a purpose true as the azure hue of her own o ' er-arching sky. Not from the opulent fulness of the rich man came the deed. But builded firm by the toiling hands that had conquered the grasp of need; And decked with the lore of ages that on through the centuries ran. In the words of the ancient sages since the course of Time began ; The tales of the deeds of glory that followed a conqueror ' s nod. And the Book of the Wonderful Story that fell from the lips of God. Till now, from the slow-rolled ages, where the mists of darkness lay. She rises, a sun-kissed goddess, in the glow of the coming day ; And strong in her strength of purpose, and strong in her strength of will, Unsoiled by the breath of slander, unharmed by the touch of ill, On her broad brow rests the signet of the white-winged angel Peace, And she looks to the far horizon and the goal of her strife ' s surcease. I08 [Vj u u nd on while the Future beckons, while the clustering seas enfold, shall follow her course yet steady by the chart that is half unrolled, To the greatest of all great kingdoms in the rule of the minds of men, — In the faith that is born of conscience and the power of the burning pen ; While her sons, who follow after in the halls that their fathers knew. Bequeath to their children ' s children the beautiful and the true. The mother of generations of pure souls yet to be, Who will honor their foster-parent for the faith that made them free, For the guardian care she gave them, for the love that is yours and mine, And the longing old that is never told, but draws us back to her shrine; As long as the sun shall greet it, as long as the Crum shall flow, As long as the campus springs still green from the veil of the winter ' s snow ; So still shall each coming springtide repeat her Commencement Day, While the tender fledglings with new-tried wings shall flit from the aest away ; And still on the slope of her hillside the gray old mother stan ' d ' s— ' Crooning, and watching, and waiting, with Hope in her outspread hands To comfort the tired and weary, to God-speed the bold and free, Till all of her lingering children have taken t ieir Last Degree. 109 SfcV -jH M. iP ii ,1 _ , i n 1 w Jii fir r f w ' Auf Den Crum. The Eastern Remedy. In einem kiihlen Grunde Da fliesst der alte Crum Woran die Schiiler skaten Und co-educaten some. Die Knaben spielen hockey Und hookey zu, vielleicht, Und sagen zu dem Lehrer, Ach ! Lehrer, sie sind leicht. Mit Madchen aber ist es Die meisten fun zu skate, Und bleiben auf den Schlitt.schuli ' n Und komm ' n zu supper late. Und wenn es dunkel werde Es giebt uns alle Gliick Zu walk up mit dem Madchen Wobei wir wiirden stick. Es ist ein steepen hillside Worauf wir kommen must : Zu hilfen auf die Madchen Wir nehmen grosse Lust. Ach, Crum, wir mochten immer Auf deine Strom zu skate, Und machen unser Leben Ein lang Co-educate. A PAIN have you got, my poor dear — A cold, did you say, or an ache ? Some good composition tea, here, Now come, won ' t you try for my sake? Oh, yes! you ' ve been out in the wet : Beware of pneumonia, dear ! Now this is the best thing to get, Some good composition tea, clear. Dyspepsia, or chill, did you say ? I see that you feel very weak ; Well, try composition tea, pray, — My child, you fell into the creek ! Ah ! from composition tea ' s might, Ah ! from composition tea ' s sway. Ah ! from composition tea ' s sight. Good Lord, O deliver us, pray ! A LITTLE game beneath the flame Of hall light, burning low ; O, wicked sin ! Dear Benjamin, I ' m shocked to see thee so. 112 Ifcebitations of a Cow, WONDER why I feel so strange, and void, and worthless, like walking oblivion, or why I am so shunned by my neighbors and comrades as though I were branded by some disgrace or infamy. It has always been so, at least almost always, since one night (how long ago it seems!) when I was quite young. Distinctly I remember it was a beautiful eve, not long after we had come from pasture, some gay young fellows entered the barn with the farmer, and soon I found their attention directed to me. One of them tried to catch me, but I ran away, and then they all chased me ; and when they had caught me they put me in a cart, and then we drove a long way. Presently we stopped at a large, gloomy building, and I was hurried up narrow, dark staircases into a room that fairly made my head swim, for it seemed in the dim light to be full of figures — square, round, long, and short — all dancing from the blackboards in a horrible mixture through the air. Then my captors threw something over my back, and it was at this moment I first experienced that vague, dull feeling that has since never left me. In the ne.Kt room I could hear a single voice rising ever higher and higher, and then quiet a moment, fol- lowed by such a terrific noise as I had never heard before ; it was like when Jennie scats the tabby, only it sounded as though there were a thousand Jennies scatting a thousand tabbies. Then there was silence, and just at that moment my keepers burst into that room and upon a platform, four of them carrying me, and one following with a milk-bucket. I was so frightened by everything and so dazed by the light that I tried to escape, but they held me fast. Soon, however, my startled eyes rested on some Fresh little faces gazing so pityingly into mine that I felt calmed in an instant, for they looked at me as though I were one of their own number, suffering. And then I was again carried out in the dark and back to the barn in the same mysterious manner as I had gone. Since then I have had no peace ; my companions of former days have all deserted me, and I wander around long days alone, my only comfort the vision of those pitying faces under the glare of the lights. Truly have I come to think that I must be of their number, and that with them alone I shall be able to find the peace and happiness that the world can give. I?3: Cbil be IRonalb. A COMPOSITE BALLAD BY THE CLASS OF ' 99. Childe Ronald left his father ' s hall, He left his kith and kin ; For he would fare to lands afar, High honor for to win. A ship of might he entered in. With many warriors strong, And day and night, and night and day, He swiftly sailed along. A band of crafty pirates, they, The boldest of the bold, Alas, for any vessel weighed With booty or with gold ! One day a vessel loomed in sight, A late deserted wreck — Childe Ronald saw a maiden fair Tied on its g-listening deck. Her hair was streaming round her face A shining mass of gold, A maid of wondrous beauty, she, That this knisfht did behold. Anon his heart was filled with love, And orders quick he gave To break the chains and tear the bonds. And thus the maiden save. They brought her to the pirates ' boat, The wondrous maid so fair; And like a queen on deck she stood, The wind played with her hair. Childe Ronald ' s heart with joy was filled, And love-lit were his eyes ; And straightway he resolved to woo This goddess in disguise. Childe Ronald led her to her place. This maid so fair to see. Then down before her tossing throne He fell on bended knee. He knelt before her royal throne, He knelt on bended knee. Until a great wave came along And swept him in the sea. 114 The fail- maid ' s cheek grew blanched white, But danger tests true love ; One moment, and a second splash The deck-hands heard above. A second splash, and where was she, The wondrous maid so fair ? She was beside the one she loved, Upheld with all his care. Quick down the boats were lowered, And manned by toughened tars, A breathless work was it, and chill, Beneath the rising stars. Ten loyal hearts were deeply stirred. Ten pairs of sun-stained hands Were stretched to snatch the lovers from The rough sea ' s cruel bands. Childe Ronald struggled with the waves ; How drear his life would be If Clarabell reposed upon The bottom of the sea ! Once more they made a bold attempt. The sturdy tars drew near ; And as her head rose from the wave The) ' seized her by the ear. And then from out the icy deep They saved them by the neck, Childe Ronald and fair Clarabell Lay safe upon the deck. Up came the steward from below. With bottle and corkscrew, And each his thirsty lips refreshed With Pabst Milwaukee b rew. The sun shone brilliant overhead. The breeze blew fresh and strong. And happy, happy, were the twain That sailed their course along. ' ' Tis land ! ' Tis land ! the watcher cried. The crew forsook the hold ; Upon a rugged rock they spied A castle high and bold. Childe Ronald ' s soul was roused at once, And fire blazed from his eye ; ' We ' ll take those castled walls, he said, And there we ' ll live and die. Like leaping flame they storm the moat, And scale the frowning walls, Till shrouded fierce in fire and smoke The foeman ' s standard falls. 115 Childe Ronald scaled the highest rock And stood alone on high ; A last stray arrow pierced his heart — The bravest e ' er must die. Alas, for his dear Clarabell, Who o ' er his fate did wail ! For through her heart she thrust a sword- And thus does end our tale. Peeping from her place of hiding, With a rare and winsome shyness. Let no rude or Tectless footstep Dare to crush her dainty Highness. You may seek thro ' wood and moorland, Roam by many a rippling river ; Fair and beauteous blossoms find you, But a sweeter, purer, — never. Arbutus. On the hillside, in the springtime. Blooms the sweetest little flower With the freshest, daintiest fragrance Ever found in woodland bower. Ere old winter scarce has left us With his frost and frozen fingers, On the highland blooms arbutus Where the smiling sunshine lingers. By the gently flowing brooklet, On the banks ' neath mossy cover. Blooms her modest blushing beauty — - How can any one but love her? A Sophomore ' s Solo. One night I lay a -sleeping; It was no dream, I swear. They stood within my bed-room. Right by the bed-side there. I heard those Freshmen speaking, And ever as they spake, Methought that curly head of mine For very fear did quake. Oh, Sophomores ! Ye Sophomores ! Come help a poor soul out ! I confess it, I swiped them ; I did it without doubt. ii6 A Contest Between the Rival Kingdoms of Haverford and Swarthmore. l_As exhibited in the Annual Foot-ball Game, held at Haverford, November ijtii, i8gy. ' ] Act I. Scene I. — Assembly Hall, Szvarthmore. Day before the contest. Enter citizens of SivartJimore, together ivith the authorities in the kingdom. Manager of contest speaks. Oh ! ye my friends and fellows dear, The great event is now so near, Which to the world around will show How we can conquer this, our foe. The Red and Black this year shall fall, And this one boon we ask of all : That each one wave his flags galore, And every voice cheer on Swarthmore. These stalwart lads, with Captain true, Will do whatever host can do To keep our honor and our fame, To keep our kingdom ' s grand old name. Our President a word will say. And then we ' ll to our tasks away. 7 Scene II. — College Hall, Havcrford. Day before the contest. A crozvd of self-satisfied citizens enter. Senior speaks. Ye Haverfordians true and tried, Who ' ve worked together side by side, Know well that ere to-morrow ' s o ' er We ' ll be victorious o ' er Swarthmore. We ' ve called you here, dear friends, to-day, As we had just one word to say, That we must practice well our cheers, You know we ' ve won so many years. To-morrow ' s score can be no guess, We ' ll win by sixty points — no less. Those Swarthmore lads — how sad they ' ll be! But they ' re no match for such as we. Let Red and Black wave high and long, For vict ' ry soon will tune our song ; ' Tis Haverford will win the day, And now we ' ll off to work away. Act II. Scene I. — Day of game. Haverford field, lined zuith spectators. The fray begins. Haverfordians and Sivarth- moreans mingle, and express their opinions on the game. Haverfokdian. My friend, what ribbon do I see? A garnet band, and that on thee ! Oh ! mark my word, with sorrow sore Thee ' U weep to-night for thy Swarthmore; U8 SWARTHMOREAN. For when it comes to contests bold The Red and Black can ne ' er be sold. And if I don ' t mistake the sign This day will see a vict ' ry fine. Loom up for Haverford, noble state, And Swarthmore, ah ! thee ' ll have to wait. He who laughs last laughs best, ' tis said, For ere in sleep has sunk thy head A lesson hard thee will have learned : That Swarthmore ' s team must not be spurned. Your warriors bold ran on the field. Determined they would never yield. And strong they looked, and tireless, too, But now they wish that this were through. They ' re slowly yielding, one by one ; They see that now it ' s not mere fun. Lo! through their line doth Swarthmore rush. My friend, do tell me why that blush ? We ' re showing thee, as oft before, What means the garnet of Swarthmore. [A s]ioiit is heard, and the H. flayers depart from the Ji eld. Score 8-6 in favor of Havcrford? Why ! why ! what means this flight so fast ? The second half, has it now passed ? Haverfordian. The night has on us cast her shroud ; No game in darkness is allowed. 119 We ' ve won the field ; the vict ' ry ' s ours ; O ' er Swarthmore ' s lads defeat now lowers. SwARTHMOREAN coniiiig forward? Let every heart to Swarthmore true Remember that this game ' s not through ; We had ten minutes yet to play, But Red and Black did fear to stay. Indeed, I fear our worthy hosts, Like children small, have fear of ghosts, And so they said the field was dark. Methinks they ' ll never have the lark In Penn ' s old city, near at hand. The lark they long ago had planned. If they should win (thus have I heard) : But if ' s a very mighty word. Dim college walls will hold them quite. And now we ' ll bid them all good-night. And so you see, this year we say, Why we ' ve ten minutes still to play. And Haverford, in silence grave. Trusts that next year her honor ' U save. But Swarthmore ' s hearts are just as true. And Swarthmore ' s lads their best e ' er do, And for the dear old garnet ' s fame They ' ll harder work, and win the game. 1 20 Mixon Zimmerman ' s Hcabem of Iftusic Mr Will Hulliam, and his company of stellar lights, Under the direction of Mr. John E.

HE valley lay deep down between two high mountains, and the mists hung over it, and kept out the sun. There was only one narrow path out of the valley, and none dared tread it, because it was rough and dangerous. Besides, none knew the beyond, and valley dwellers are not brave. One day a man and woman appeared unto this people. The youths and maidens gathered about them, and asked of the land beyond. A great light shone round about the strangers, and they said, Come with us, and we will show it to you. So the youths girded up their loins, and prepared to go, but the maidens lingered. Then the woman said, Are not ye also coming? The youths turned indignantly to the man. These are but women ; how can they journey ? The path is steep. The man said, We will show you. So the maidens started also. The mists are thickening, and thunder is in the air, said the woman. The maidens trembled, for ihcy felt the scorn of the men, and they feared the voices of the valley people, saying, Impossible ! Impossible ! If the maidens must journey, they should not go with the youths up the same steep path ; they should seek an easier way, for they are weak. Besides, it is not seemly for youths and maidens to travel far together. But the man and the woman looked into each other ' s eyes and smiled. They knew the power of the sun beyond the valley to scatter the thickest mist, and as for the thunder, they knew that for the wise it holds no fear. On the morning of the first day, when they all had gathered together, the man arose and spoke : If ye would reach the land beyond these mountains where the sun shines, and the flowers grow, and the law of beauty reigns, ye will need many tools to help you up the path. There is one which ye will always need— the staff of fellowship. I therefore charge you to spend this day in choosing the wood, the shape, and the size that ye desire 126 your staff to be. As he spoke, he held up the guide of his own footsteps, and all looking upon it were amazed, for it was curiously carved, and shone as though it were set with precious stones. Do not be discouraged, he continued, for each separate stroke of the carving, to be most beautiful, must be the willing and unsought service of a comrade. This is the work of many years, and many hands. Then, pointing toward the centre of the staff, which was by far the most exquisitely wrought, he said, There is a land that is fair to see and sweet to remember. They call it Swarthmore. There ye shall tarry for a while, and there, if ye so desire, ye shall find comrades willing, nay, anxious, to adorn your staves with the richest and rarest carvings. There, also, ye shall find, even as I have found, that that carving is oft of the rarest beauty which is the service of women. I charge you, therefore, when ye have reached that land, be ever mindful to adorn your staves with carvings that will last for all time. Go forth now and seek ye each your staff, and when ye have found it, be ever watchful lest it fall upon the sharp flint of falsehood ; for if that chance, there will spring forth the fire of anger, which will destroy the carving of many years. Then the man raised his hand, and all went forth to do his bidding. The evening followed the day ; another and yet another day followed the evening. Ofttimes the little band was faint and weary with the climbing — always climbing. Ofttimes their hearts would ache at eventide when they looked upon their staves, and saw no new carving there. But as the days went by, stronger grew they, and less often planted they their staves upon the flint of anger, or in the quicksands of imperfect honesty. As the man and woman saw this, they rejoiced. They knew that in the land of Swarthmore those who had learned to lean heavily upon their staves would find three lare flowers. One day they reached a land where the sun shone as they had never seen it shine before. They looked upon the woman, and her eyes seemed brighter than the sun. What is it? they said. She answered, Had ye barely reached this land that men call Swarthmore— had ye then turned back to your valley homes where the mists hang heavy o ' er the people, still, having found the staves of fellowship, it would not have been in vain that ye had journeyed. But now I say unto you, rejoice! for with this treasure ye may seek and find three others. The first and least of these can most readily be found in the early spring. It hides its head deep down beneath dry, stiff leaves that men call facts. It is hard to find; it is worth finding. It is the flower of knowledge. When ye have found its dwelling-place be not content to snatch only the perfumed flower, but grasp the stem firmly, and seek even for the tiny rootlets down beneath the earth. In them also is a magic charm. For the second, one must seek even farther ; it shuns the noisy throngs of men and women. It is the flower of culture. 127 In your search for this rare treasure, tread softly, watch closely. Culture, in delicate reverence, is wont to bow her head to the stranger. The third is almost as necessary for this great journey that ye have undertaken as the staff of fellowship; it is the flower that men call power. These ye must seek for now. This is the land of promise; your onward journey may claim you at any time; therefore )e must at least learn how to recognize where and how ye will be most likely to find these treasures. When ye have found them, bind them with the stout, firm cord of character complete, to the head of your staff They will not wither as the flowers ye were wont to seek for in your valley homes. Ye will always find that whene ' er ye have added one new stroke of carving to another ' s staff, or whene ' er one new stroke has been added to your own, the flowers bound to its head will send out a sweeter, yet more delicate fragrance, and the petals will shine as brightly as the moonlit foam that curls above the ocean wave. 128 What They Eat. I ' ve heard of a place, Haven ' t you? haven ' t you? Where the food is most hash Made of left-over trash, With some meat here and there. Which is tough, I declare. Where an oyster, alone. In the soup gives a groan When he thinks of the strife To be made for his life; And a crab answers back, Oh, alas ! oh, alack! As he thinks of his fate — Wlien he soon, in a plate. For an oyster serene Will be eaten up clean. Where the syrup, so thick. Doth to everything stick, And the prunes, in a throng Without end, come along ; Where the bread oh, so dry ! Doth send up a parched cry To be soaked for an hour In some water and flour, And be served up as toast, Which is naught but a roast. I ' ve heard of this place, Haven ' t you ? haven ' t you ? Oh ! with honey and wine. And with everything fine, Is our table e ' er spread ; And we truly are fed With the dainties most sweet That each season we meet. Epicurus ' s own son Are we now, every one. As we sit down to dine At this board superfine. I ' m glad it ' s so here, Aren ' t you ? aren ' t you ? Jailer, cried I, long I ' ve waited for the maid you have belated. By the bones that shake above us, by the cruel iron door, Tell this soul, with love so laden, if, within the alcove Aidenn, It shall clasp a winsome maiden whom the spirits named Lenore ? Quoth Miss H ' son, Nevermore ! 129 The Last Collection. College Catalogue, P. S The last rustle had ceased, a reverent silence held the hall of students as one; only the solemn tick of the clock disturbed the sacred stillness. She was th ' nking, not as she often before had thought in Col- lection, of her letters or lessons, but of the present parting, of the boundless future before her. As in a dream came the gentle tones of the Dean, Once a child of Swarthmore, always a child of Swarthmore. Then again silence more eloquent than the tongues of angels hovered o ' er that body. Could it be that never again she would rush for her mail and be early for Collection; never again be one of that morning meet- ing of students ; never again feel that stillness bring rest to her hurried life and calm to her troubled thoughts ? A sob rose in her throat, as softly swell- ing upward from a hundred hearts to the bending heaven above sounded, Nearer, My God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. The students rose ; she followed them slowly. At the door she turned and looked once more at the old familiar gathering place, then passed through the door to the waiting world. Her Swarthmore life was over! Adjoining the Museum a room has been fitted up exclusively for shuffleboards. Here the students, when weary from long laboratory work, may find abundant recreation. Instalments of excellent, well-groomed ponies are constantly at hand, and may be used by the stu- dents at will. Students are advised to use them cau- tiously, as they have been placed under the care of the S. P. C. A. Visitors are now enabled to secure a full coarse dinner, sweet repose over night, and a dainty breakfast, for only seventy-five cents. All are welcome. In order to make the College appear more homelike, cats, ponies, and other pets have been provided for the use of students. 130 lExtracte from tbe S)iar of D-ct-r Ift- -r, ex-l900 (A Certified Copy.)

In the afternoon we had practice relay running the races were fine only y of a mile, you run with four others who belong to different teams that is 4 men belonging to one team will run a mile each one of the four running a quarter. You run with four men of different teams. I ran with Backwrack and Edgar, each belonging to another team. Edgar and Backwrack were one-third way round the track when I started. I passed Backwrack near the meeting-house and passed and reached line three feet ahead of Edgar. Fine fun. We had a singing lesson last night from Miss Bond who is teaching all those who pay attention how to sing by note. Fine weather. The night is dark, and in the distance I can hear a train running over the iron bridge. SATURDAY, 27th, March 1897. Fine weather. SUNDAY, 28th, March 1897. Fine weather bright sun westerly wind ; I went to collection there were few there. We are having fine weather to-day the sky is clear calm day and everything is still save the cawing of the crows in the wood nearby. If this warm weather will keep up some morning we will wake up and the trees will all have bust forth in little leaves. 131 Hutobiograpb of a poti . HE first incident in my life that I can remember was one day when I found myself packed with a number of my fellows, ready for the market at which we were to be sold. I have no idea how I came into the condition that I then found myself, but, on examining me, you will discover that Prof J. Brown having spent four years at college himself, and thereby being able to sympathize with students weary of stumbling along, has sent me forth into the world to perform my life-work. I was a thoroughbred English pony, guaranteed to be especially useful in the German wilderness, through which all students have to pick their way, though why I have never been able to discover. Well, I was not long awaiting an owner, for a careless-looking, happy-go-lucky, would-be German student gladly paid the requisite price and took me home. But alas ! such a life as I led with my little friend ! Many a time did I almost suffer the death of a martyr in the flames, for my presence in the household seemed to be very undesirable to all but my little owner, to whom I became very much attached. Soon it came time for us to go to college; at least my master was the only one for whom tuition and boarding were paid, although I don ' t know whether he or I had the greater share in the examinations he had to undergo. But I went also to this fair college, and — well ! I suffered considerably from use ; and a list of my owners would cause many a blush on the cheeks of some of our most respectable citizens, and even of our most learned college professors; so I forbear. I have discovered, however, a few things in my short life which, it seems to me, my riders, as a rule, have totally missed. Now, I ' d just like to say a word or two about my experiences, in a moralizing vein, for the benefit of those who may read these pages. There weren ' t so very many who preferred ponies as means of locomotion, and they certainly were not the flower of the class. Why ! the number of falls they got, and the many relays of new ponies which they needed every year, certainly were enough to daunt any heart. Why zvill people who are trying to avoid trouble go to three or four times as much pains to get around it? And we ' re rather treacherous steeds, too, for often we would mischievously fail them at the critical minute, for they were almost completely in our power. You who have never tried this 132 means of locomotion certainly cannot know what a life our jockeys lead ; and it ' s my opinion you don ' t want, to, either. Perhaps it ' s not fair to tell tales, as I ' m sure my riders aren ' t particularly anxious to have their trials and tribulations thus exposed to the public. Well, well ! we only learn by experience, but we ought to profit by the mistakes of others ; and I, for cne give my testimony against the life-work I have been compelled to select. B. Song Mitbout Movbs. We oft hear a strain of grand music Which touches the souls of us all, But the song which to me was the sweetest Was ne ' er sung in cottage or hall. Your friends do not always prove faithful; You think you are oft treated wrong ; Your lessons are hard and perplexing : Find comfort for all in a song. The thoughts that it brought up within me Were grander than e ' er I could tell ; But here are a few of its lessons, I ' ll share them with you, too, as well. Just think that your task is the easiest ; Just think that your friends are the best Just think that your life is the happiest, And see how the whole day is blest. Our life is a day of bright sunshine; There are clouds, but they quickly pass by ; This world is not meant for complaining; Be happy, be happy ; do try ! The song had now ceased, still I lingered ; Such melody mortal ne ' er heard; The message it bore has e ' er helped me — It was but the song- of a bird. 133 UalkiiiG Ubrougb a Mat. I ' VE had a most exciting time since I came to this place ; but I like excite- ment, only it isn ' t a good thing for my head, for it turns it so upside-down that I can hardly stick on unless I have a big pin jabbed into me. My symbol is ' oi. There are some other hats around here whose sign is 1900. I don ' t know why it should be different from ours unless it is because we are one point ahead of them. Well, the first day I came here I was paraded around in great style and tried on a thousand times. There were some people around here, though, that didn ' t like us. They made it seem like spring, they were so green with jealousy ; at least my owner said they were jealous. Well, that evening, after every one had left and all was quiet, and I was taking a nice rest by the looking-glass, admiring myself now and then, in came one of those jealous people, picked me up and put me on her head, took a hasty glance and murmured, I wish ours were like t his. Then she hurried out and gathered a lot of us, and we were hidden in the dark for a long time. Finally, however, we were found, and I was pretty glad to see daylight again. The rest of our number didn ' t come back until later, but they said Iheyhad a nice time and everything was lovely. There are a lot more of those 1900 hats around now. They look sort of tough, but that isn ' t their fault, since their surroundings are anything but elevated, and environment counts so much in character. Well, I won ' t bother myself about them ; I ' ll just sport around and have a good time. We ' 01 caps ought to be proud and happy, crowning, as we do, such worthy heads. 134 Jolly Jingles. There is a young Freshman named Worth, Who thinks it the acme of mirth To play the piano And sing out Hosanna ! So of music there ' s never a dearth. There is a hard student named Myers, Of studying he never tires; But I ' m sorry to state That he ' ll soon graduate With a form and physique like Sam Guyer ' s. There is a young sinner named Evans, Who opened a pot with three sevens ; But — saddest of facts — A hand of three jacks Caused his hasty repentance — Oh, heavens ! There is a big Junior named Dodge, Buys peanuts and pretzels from Podge ; He ' s accustomed to pilfer Soap, matches, or silver. And in Sing Sing he surely will lodge. There is a queer fellow named Booth, Who has no regard for the truth ; When his dinner is o ' er He ' s quite ready for more ; Oh, what a ridiculous youth ! There is a big bluffer named Hall, Who is known for his skill at base-ball ; But he ' ll never succeed Till he learns to proceed Without showing that ominous gall ! There is a young sport yclept Lamb, Who is known as a dealer in ham ; He will sing songs and play All night and all day, And he makes the poor students say These verses must be discontinued for want of space. Their sequel will be found in the Halcyon of 1900. Copies may be obtained from the Business Manager. Price, 25 cents. A Literary Time. He went to the Reading Room to read.

H, Mil-dred, what a pe-cul-iar look-ing ob-ject! Yes, Ara-bella, is it not odd! Does thee know what it is ? It looks like a bird-cage, Mil-dred. Oh, no, Ara-bella, it is not a bird- cage. Is it a mouse-trap ? No, Ara-bella, thee has an-other con-ject- ure. Then I guess it is a hen ' s-nest. No, Ara-bella, wrong again. It is a Soph-o-more hat. A hat, Mil-dred ! Oh, how very funny ! Do the Soph-o-mores wear their hats ? Oh, no, they might lose them or have them taken away. It is better to hang them on the wall to look nice. So it is, Mil-dred. But I do not like these hats. I am not at-tach-ed to their shape. Do you see the face? Is it not beau-tiful ! But, Ed-ward, what a pained ex-press-ion it wears. Can it be Dr. Ma-gill, our dear ex-Presi-dent ? Oh, no, look at that collar ! Good gracious, what a collar ! That must be Brown, who ed-its T ie Pho2nix so well. Oh, dear me ! he seems to feel the re-spon-si-bility of all the College ! I am sad, Ed-ward, when I see such a dear, innocent boy. Here is a man whom we all know. Do you see him ? He can talk and sing, and is quite a brill-iant fel-low. Is this Myers carrying his en-cy-clo- ped-ia ? Oh, no, it is Hay-man, who han-dles the mails so well. Oh, what a fine man he would be for dean of the West Wing ! Yes, and he is also Lipp ' s rival as a walker when he is not out of step. Oh, what an admir-able char-acter! See, Per-cival, here is an-other pict-ure. How much it looks like a pump ! Yes, it is a pump — the West Wing pump. Oh, what a nice con-triv-ance ! Does the pump give nice sweet water ? Oh, no, it does not give water at all, but it keeps the boys from getting jealous. Oh, how very nice. I like to see, — But here comes Mrs. Bond. She must not see us talk-ing. Good-night, Per-cival, I must go. 148 Epilogue Ended is our book at last ; To the world its lot is cast; On opinion ' s fickle tide Will it wreck or smoothly glide; Be its fate whatever it may, From oor inmost hearts we say — God-speed Halcyon, far and near, Emblem of our Junior year.
