A simple regard for truth, however, compels us to remind you of many things that you would fain forget, and though we wish to chronicle your victories in all fairness, yet Professor Hayes himself, with his army of assistants, could not direct us to any record of them. We searched your year-book, and found that your own common sense dictated silence on this point. Yes, 1908, we will allow that little list of honors to stand. The prnitmg of it will cost us but little, and it may serve as oil upon the troubled waters of your discontent. There are many things that you have forgotten, however. In imitation of 1907, you attempted to publish a set of posters. Do you remember how, a few nights later, you pleaded to be released from Wharton, and how, prompted by a true sporting instinct we drew off and allowed the poor geese to fly forth; and then, 1908! can you call to mind that heap of torn posters which announced to the college Avorld your first defeat at our hands ? But such defeats soon became a commonplace, and, as we would cause you no unnecessary pain, we shall pass them by. It was, however, poor judgment on your part to remind us of that oratorical contest ' for which ijoii could not collect a team; and why, with all your celebrities, did you back out of football and baseball as well ? The history grows sadder and sadder, but, having no desire for a tragic setting and realizing that you must shortly leave us, we will close this chronicle and commend you to the great world outside, whieli is already beckoning to us. We wish you Godspeed upon your way. May you deal as gently with the short- comings of others as we have dealt with yours. 13 personalia of tfje Class of 1908 I-It ' len ]Minerva Baker, West Chester, Pa., Latin.

So well have we lived up to our motto, Facta, non verba, that II % a truthful chronicle of our honors would make you swear we dealt in hyperboles or worse. If we remain as silent as our friends of 1908, however, we will lay ourselves open to the criticism they have so richly earned. We desire, then, to outline in a few words our three years at College — years very dear to us and laden with rich memories. We agree with Doctor Holmes that time is a strange thing, for it seems but yesterday that the class of 1909 marched into Parrish Hall with our little big man, Doctor Lowes, in our midst, and yet those first nights, during which the 1908 contingent learned what a real class was, seem far off indeed; but, turning again, the whistle that stopped the rush and found a Fresh astride each struggling Soph will blow forever in our ears. You remember the rest of that first year as well as do we : how the girls won the Gym Contest, and with dear old ' 07 defied all comers in hockey, how 1908 piked in football, baseball and oratory. But June is upon us, and we ourselves are Sophs. A handful of eight ' 09 ' s, now valiant Sophomores, kept one hundred and twenty-five Freshmeji at bay for forty-five minutes while the posters came from Chester. Poor 1910 ! The only reward you got was that liberal dousing of paste, which kept you so busy for the rest of the night that perhaps there is some excuse for the many big posters seen next morning. The Penn game, in which ' 09 had so large a part, is over; again we are in the land of roses, and our underclassmen days are over. Do not imagine that 1910 took all our time! 29 Oh, uo ! We found leisure moments to develoii two hockey stars, a gymnast who conld compete on even terms with the redoubtable Pat, five Varsity men, two lacrosse men, four track men, and a tennis captain. In literary pursuits we were not idle,, for we won the Oratorical Contest with poor 1910, tarred T ie Plia-nix, and placed men on the public speaking teams. The third year, with all our upper-classmen duties, is upon us. We will not again recount our warriors, but will add to the list a track manager, a track captain, a music master, and an editor of that poor bird, our rival. We are heginiiing to realize that our journey in College is almost over, and, anxious to face the world outside, yet holding ever tighter to our memories here, we greet our Senior year with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. .SO iWemtiers! of tije Class of 1909 Alice Clement Adamson, Paulsboro, N. J., German. Alice is one of our good, quiet girls. She knows more tlian all the rest of ' us put together. Yes, Alice is naturally bright; but she does not believe in letting nature do it all, and always does her part when studying comes. Every day, about 4 p. M. (she is studying earlier), she may be seen with her friend Regina taking a nice proper walk around the village. They should sign up S. for Miss Bates. I wonder if they do. Newell Gilder Alford, J r. Philadelphia, Pa., English. Nero was out of sorts. He had had but College muffins for his breakfast — sufficient rea- son, we all agree. He looked about him for a deserving victim. He looked. He espied. Aloof from his comrades stood a youth in deep and serious conversation with a haughty maiden. An oppressive serenity embraced the pair which made them indifferent to all the universe minus them- selves. Nero regarded them jealously. In harsh dissonance his voice rang out: Fetch me hither him of the bristling black beard, and offer him as a sacrifice to Venus. Nero played his mouth organ. 31 Anna Hollingswortli Armstrong, Wallingford, Pa., History. Anna is another of our good students, but to see her in class you would never think it. She never has gotten over her Freshman fear of being called on, and blushes scarlet every time. Anna, you must get over that before you are a Senior ; it doesn ' t look well. Anna is also fond of violets, and had the best time ever at the Junior Dance with the Mexican. George Norman Ash, Coatesville, Pa., Engineering. Whoever would have expected Norman to develop into a society man? Well, such things will happen, as was clearly seen the night of the Junior Prom. Norman does not dance yet, but we hear he is taking lessons. Good luck to thee, Norman. It is also rumored that Norman is not the saint he seems. Just think of it — someone discovered Balzac in his room! O Norman! Caroline Farren Atkinson, K A 0, Earlington, Ky., German. Who ' s that sweeping down the hall with chin up in the air? I thought for sure she was goinjc to run into me, but I did get out of her way. Seems to me I recognize her face. Doesn ' t she spend a good part of her time watching over the old room which used to hold the Friends ' Historical Library on Second West? Eight; and every evening and many afternoons she ' s to be seen sifting opposite an illy-shaven creature, making the most apparent bhiff at studying. Too Vjad that she takes that History course, which requires so much outside reatliug! 32 Esther Elizabeth Baldwin, West Chester, Pa., English. Esther is another of those people who do nothing in particular and do it awfully well. She is a very original girl, and when she learns to carry out some of her own ideas she will do some- thing wonderful. Just now she is too busy keeping on the right side of the Profs. On our Halcyon staff she is a wonder. Blossoms out with new suggestions, bright ideas, and happy thoughts regularly. Whatever would we do without her? Emily Maltby Bird, Chester, Pa., English. Emily patiently wends her way over from Chester daily. She is a brave girl, truly. But how she does l ve to run down the Asphaltum to catch that blessed trolley in the late after- noon! Emily likes Astronomy when she can just study about the stars. Well, who can blame her for not appreciating formulas, geometry, etc. ; Emily; there are others. Anne Hibberd Bunting, Secane, Pa., that is the point of taking Astronomy. Yes, Latin. Yes, Anne comes from that little flag-station down the line. She ' s rather an attractive girl, you know, and such a favorite of the conductors that she always gets a free ride when she makes her frequent trips home or to town. We don ' t understand her drag, exactly; she tried to tell us once, but lost the point of her story in her laughter. She has a failing for telling jokes, and when she gets hold of a good one, she never stops till she ' s told the whole College. She ' s aces up on conundrums, too. The Profs aren ' t wise to Anne, at all. Indeed, she ' s such a lamb in all her classes that she thereby inveigles the professors into giving her A ' s. 33 Ethel Grace Brown, Camden, N. J., Ena ' lisli. Ethel once tried Wellesley, but found there was a necessity for good liard work there, so tliought she would try again. However, her success in Swarthniore does not seem so very good, when it only took Mr. Alexander one week to discover she never thought of opening her history book. Coeducation also seemed to appeal to Ethel, and at least she endeavors to excel in this line more than the other. Elizabeth Ann Burton, li (I , Salem, 0., Latin. In Chemistry there are certain compounds which have a tenacious property of absorbing other elements to themselves. If in any salt or mixture such elements exist, these powerful chemicals are sure to extract them. Liz reminds us much of a fluid of this nature. The element that she extracts is information. Information of all kinds: — Why didn ' t Homer write Dante ' s In- ferno ? What is that fellow ' s name? What is his age? Why is he here? Why does he wear a red necktie? She is reporter for the Woman ' s Inquirer, and has doubled the i)aiier ' s Small Talk section. fayhcll Lncy Carpenter, Broclhead, Wis., Greek. Talk ;djout your fudge! Maybell learned how to make it out at Stout, I guess. You all kiinw her — tall and willowy, with a rather deep voice. And she ' s always good-humored, except when a certain Fresh girl makes her go dow ' n to the Library while she (the Fresh nian) fusses. Nineteen-nine welcomes with a hearty handshake this fair maid of the M ' est, and congratulates her, as well, on lior extreme good taste in selecting such a class as this one witli which to join her fortunes. 34 Edward Houser Cavin, K ¥, Jenkintown, Pa., Engineering. O Tityrus, why sangst thou not of this prodigy? Wliy waste thy precious pipe notes upon such as Augustus and Apollo? Here stands the favored son of Venus, invincible charmer of womankind. Behold the child of Minerva, the devourer of all examinations, and yea, even Her- cules smileth upon this mighty champion, the Tumbler, double-scoring touchdown maker! Why, 1 prithee, didst thou not immortalize his pro Yess? The echoes answer, He hath done it himself. Lee Elbert Coble, h W, Stilesville,Tnd., English. Lee makes a great impression on the public, as was clearly seen at one of our games this year. Lee was standing in a conspicuous position alone when a stranger innocently inquired, Who ' s the crowd ? Lee could entertain a roomful, as the peals of laughter that often come from his table show. Strange then that the same man should be so overcome when he entered the dining room minus a collar. He was a fine member of the Boys ' Exec. The fact is, it was rumored he was a regular detective when it came to the cow episode. Louis Fussell Coffin, Swarthmore, Pa., Engineering. Louis studies for study ' s sake. He is, so to speak, a mental acrobat. The feats that he accomplishes in this line make the blood of onlookers grow cold. Amid clouds of Wharton Hall smoke and the revelry of several games, ranging from vulgar poker to respectable bridge, this prodigy keeps his head bent o ' er his Guyot ' s Physics, and the intangible facts therein contained complacently range themselves in Louis ' massive cerebrum. Undismayed, even if riotous action on the part of the enthusiastic card fiends endangers his life, Louis calmly studies on. . ■ . ■ - , . 35 • Helen Smith Cooper, Woodbury, N. J., English. Helen hails from New Jersey. Of course, that is a point against her, but after all Helen is a pretty nice little girl. The girls on Fourth would appreciate it very much, however, if she would not practice on her mandolin at any and all hours. Never mind ; she will play some day. Jay Barnard Cranston, J } ' , Cynwyd, Pa., Economics. Barnard has au awful habit of getting in late. He came to College late — one year after he should have been here — and has never caught up since. With his long legs, he should have done it long ago. Barnard still looks terribly young, so perhaps it is just as well, after all. It really seems as if he should not have skipped a class, but then we would not have him, so that is all right, too. AVe ' 11 take him just as he is. Oh, Sleej) it is a gentle thing. Beloved from East to West, In concentrated form you ' ll see, In Room 4 — 9 what sleep will be That Nirvana blest. — Robert Browning, Jr. Helen B. Dillistin, Paterson, N. J., Economics. Helen ' s different tints and colors are what do it. Of course, the coloring is natural pig- ment; no one denies that — not even the jealous girls. Everyone that comes in contact with her succumbs to her charms. Last Valentine ' s Day the Swarthmore village, as well as the College, piist office was sorely taxed to cope with her mail. Bales of letters addressed to the fair damsel were lincil up on the station platform. An advertiser for Fairy So ap took her picture while skating this fall. 36 Frederick Warren Ely, Doylestown, Pa., Engineering. Some of us were a good deal alarmed about Fred, for a while, he seemed to be aging with such rapidity. However, it is better now, and Fred., closely pursued by several rivals, still en- joys the distinction of being the baby of 1909. Well, never mind; at least he was considered capable of being President of S. C. A. A. once upon a time. Herbert Hollingshed Evans, P I K, Masonville, N. J., Engineering. Herbert is a good, conscientious boy. He once had social aspirations, but he has been forced to abandon many of these. He was our guide during half of our Sophomore year and, in spite of many blushes, proved a good one. He is always ready to work for the class and is one of the most loyal to 1909. Anna Entwisle Fussell, Manayunk, Pa., Mathematics. Allow me to introduce the daughter of the famous Doctor Fussell, and the sister of the other famous doctor as well. Her only fault is, she ' s from Manayunk. But she ' s the goods all right, and that poor old town has been on the blink ever since she ' s been to College. She ' s the cap- tain of the wonderful .Junior Basketball Team, and she it is who will lead us to victory and the College championship this Spring. We fancy she ' 11 make an orator some time, because Miss Bronk told her in class one day (poor Anna was fussed to a peanut) that she certainly did have a splendid voice for reciting, you know. ' ' 37 Anna Fell, A ' .7 6, Doylestown, Pa., German. Isn ' t Sport a pretty little girl? Well, this picture represents untold effort, for I never lit) take a good picture, girls. ' ' Sport got her name early in her Freshman career — no one knows just how, but it has stuck closely — surely not because of its application. Anna is the prime fusser of the class. She comes from a place called, on the map, Doylestown. It has the biggest wooden flagpole in the world, besides three saloons and a hotel. Henry Cromwell Field, J ) ' , Brooklyn, N. Y., Latin. Henry is hail fellow well met with almost everyone. We all know and like Henry. As any- one pas.scs by the Pet, he is almost sure to see Henry and his smile, and be greeted with, And how ' s ' thee ' this morning? Henry certainly can keep his table going, and his clever imitations are fast becoming famous. Kstlier Carpenter Green, Media, Pa., German. Although she has passed all her examinations and has the full standing of a .Junior, Esther still is green. Even Swarthraore seems to be unable to change her Fresh name. Yet you never can tell wlii-u the change may come. She is a day studeht, which may account for it. 38 Emma Britton Hartpence, Trenton, N. J., French. Though we always knew that Emma was something of a student, we did not know it lay in the direction of English Literature. But it seems that her favorite author is Austin (not Jane), and she has an autographed copy of the same. Emma missed several weeks this year, but it made no difference in her work, and she starred in Astronomy as before. Sara Sharpless Hawkins, A ' A 6, Media, Pa., Biology. Sara is another lady who does not linger with us much. When she is out here she is usually to be found far up among the cats, frogs, and monkeys in Dr. Trotter ' s domain. Sara is as wild about horses as ever, and in the fine spring weather often appears on a horse that makes the other girls green with envy. Mary Josephine Henry, Swarthmore, Pa., German. Mary majors with Dr. Battin, but she has lately shomi a fondness for some German things not included in his courses. One of these is Germantown and its music. We are not referring to a brass band, but to a banjo club. Mary loves to study, and was terribly insulted when Dr. Bat- tin could not meet his German XII class for two weeks. She wants her money ' s worth. 39 Henry Lawrence Hess, Wawa, Pa., Engineering. A member of the Pekeo Club, though we don ' t understand how he qualified. Maybe it was his appreciation (we were almost going to say admiration) of a certain little Dutch girl in the Freshman class. Many, many years ago, there was a fellow named Fisher Boyd who used to stop off at Swarthmore, and he had an auto. His example has been followed by a great num- ber of youths since then, and Harry is numbered among these. Sporty is not the word when Hess pulls up in front of College (via East Wing Drive) in his Red Devil and his Teddy-Bear coat. Indeed, there are those who say that Harry is almost cute at times. Helen Hibberd, Malvern, Pa., Biology. Such bravery as Helen ' s is unexcelled. Fancy her standing on the ' ' stiff table, ' ' helping to lift the old Baboon from the refrigerator! All others fled for air. If you wish to know what it means to be a big bug in the line of Hockey, just ask the Junior Captain. Helen has more company than any girl in College, and every Friday evening has a new friend to introduce. Russell Cowles Hoadley, K ' ' ' , Swarthmore, Pa., Engineering. Russell ' s father is an important man around Swarthmore, so Russell has to appear at least a good boy. Maybe he is, but I doubt it. He does not linger much about C ' ollege except occa- sionally to fuss, but s|ionds niucli time in exercises to keep him slender. 40 Edith May Jackson, West Chester, Pa., Latin. Edith is another quiet little girl. We need a good many of these to otfset certain other members of the class. No names mentioned, please. Certain people, however, found out in an amazingly short space of time that Edith both could and would do their lessons for them. Now at almost any time you may find Edith in the girls ' parlor faithfully coaching some less gifted lady. To her is due many a passing grade. Anna Estella James, West Chester, Pa., English. Do you remember, Estella, the time early last Fall when a condescending Senior asked you how you liked College, and you told her you were a Junior? Poor Nome took down her sign and hasn ' t tried to be kind to the Fresh since then. A few of the people around here don ' t know her yet; but they certainly would if they were in Chaucer with her, for there Miss James stars, and makes the rest of the class look like the breaking up of a bad Winter. Edith Rawson Janes, Brooklyn, N. Y., Enaiish. After due consideration, Edith has decided to stay with us long enough to complete her Col- lege course. To be sure, her mind is often very far from Swarthmore and its labors, but on the whole she feels that she will make a better housekeeper for her years spent here. Carleton helps her out every now and then by lending her his society for a lecture or a game. 41 Edwin James Johnson, J T, Philadelphia, Pa., Engineering. Ed is a politic gentleman belonging to 1909. He only came into our class this year, but we have had plenty of time to realize what a valuable addition he is. Ed is a fine dancer, and at every dance the girls eagerly scan their programs for his name. Don ' t mention this to_ him ; he doesn ' t know it. Inrat Loiii.s Johnson, A ' 1 Jeffersonville, Ind. Mathematics. Murat Louis .Johnson is a i lucky lad. He may be small, but what ' s the difference? He never will learn how to take care of himself, and one day this year it took the whole Junior Class to do it for him. He still loves to relate to those who will listen his experiences of that day. Murat also likes to play his favorite selections on the piano all alone in Collection Hall. I ' inina Regina Kleefeld, Philadeliihia, Pa., German. Eegina, like nuiny quiet people, certainly can surprise you sometimes. Usually not a sound comes from 7lj during qiiiet hours — Regina and .■ lice are both plodding away; Ijut once they get started the proctors are useless. On and on they go until all superfluous energy is worked off and ipiii ' t reigns again. Let us give thanks, these spells come but rarely. 42 Walter Wright Krider, A ' 2 Philadelphia, Pa., Chemistry. Our ' ' Giant Guard. ' ' Walt ' s fame as one of our football heroes is too widespread to need even honorable mention. His strength has always been of value to his class — without him the ' ' Sops ' ' might easily have enjoyed our excellent ice cream the night of the Junior Reception. It is certain that without him the Juniors would not have enjoyed the Sophomore ice cream the night of their reception. Walt has a walk all his own ; no one need try to imitate it. Only six-footers need apply even. Honk! Honk! Jessie Beulah Lane, Schenectady, N. Y., Latin. Our little Jessie comes from Schenectady, a place of many attractions, from what we hear. Jessie loves to skate, in fact, has always been used to it; but there there seems to be an at- traction not found elsewhere. Alas for Third Hall, however ! Sleep during the day must be taken either on Second or Fourth unless Jessie is out. How her voice does carry! Well, being proctor helped some. Anyone desiring to know of any past event in his or her College life during the time from 1905 to 1909 will doubtless find it carefully recorded in Jessie ' s precious diary, written up once a month, and marked PRIVATE. Marian Elizabeth Leedom, West Chester, Pa., German. West Chester ' s a quiet town in the daytime. Marian ' s down here then, you know. She ' s one of those people who are always wasting their time — why, there are weeks at a stretch that slie merely looks in on her classes, and she never, never lets her College work interfere with her pleas- ures. And talk ! My I How she can talk ! She couldn ' t stop even to have her picture taken. See how the mouth is blurred? 43 Helen Boardman Lougliliu, Swarthraore, Pa., Latin. Helen has an easy way of sliding along in classes, and it is not her fanlt eithei-. Half the Profs, are unable to prononnee her name until the first semester is about over, and she avoids trouble in the second by changing her course. She did continue Astronomy, but then Dr. Miller always gets her mixed up with one of the other members of the class, so that is not so bad, after all. Etliel T. : racCarthy, Mount Union, Pa., English. We are mighty glad that Ethel came back to Swarthmore, and that she has joined her fate with that of 1909. She ' s .iolly, all right, and whenever you can ' t hear what Professor Pearson is reading in f ' ollection, it ' s a safe wager that it ' s because Ethel is raising rough house out in the Day Students ' Room. Sometimes, though, it ' s because she ' s practicing Little Orphan Annie. Edwin Carleton MacDowell, New York, N. Y. Biology. flarleton has been so busy this winter working for our Halcyon that he hasn ' t been able to start his Christmas presents for next year. But now he will have plenty of time to get at that liandkerchief for Charlotte. He met Charlotte up at Buck Hill last summer, don ' t you know. Of course, we wouldn ' t hint at a case, or anything of the sort, but the mail between here and V ' assar has been mighty heavy all this winter. 44 John Alfred Miller, K I, Philadelphia, Pa, Engineering. J. Alfred Miller is astonishing his friends this year. The girls have always liked Al, of course, but everyone has stood a little in awe of the most strongly avowed woman-hater in College. Well, Al is fast losing his right to any such title ; that of ' ' Fusser ' ' rather shall be his. Al wore a lovely high pompadour long before the other fellows got onto it. His manner of hair- dressing is now copied widely throughout the College. Once Al came in the dining room with his hair smoothly parted — he never will again. Joao Martins Machado, Bage, Brazil, Engineering. Last year Jose reigned supreme as the most popular man in College ; but this year along came Machado, and poor Jose took down his sign and beat it, in company with his phonograph, to the backwoods. There was too much of a handicap for poor Texas, for Machado is swell and romantic. Isn ' t he, Anna? He was the only one to send flowers to his side-partner at the time of the Junior Dance, and that gained him a lot of admiration. He played trump, though, the time he sprained his ankle so badly, for then it was that he enlisted the sympathy of the whole feminine coterie. And indeed, even with his limp, he is still a chivalrous, dead game sport. John Norman Ogden, West Chester, Pa., Engineering. Wake up there, Pete! This class is over! Sleepy, did you say ' ? Always! Why, Norman was so drowsy in English exam, at mid-years, that he went up and asked Dr. Lowes for an oral examination, in order to be brief. It was short enough. In about twenty-three seconds, Pete was meandering out of the classroom, gently humming a lullabj ' to himself. 45 Beiilah Haines Parry, Eiverton, N. J., Art. ' ' Chubby is a dear little girl, though she is so very quiet some people hardly know it. Her ery curly hair is the envy of many, but Chubby pretends to hate it. We really do not believe she can. She has a good deal of artistic talent, and spends many hours with Miss Dadinun in the Studio, besides drawing many clever little things for her own amusement. Her unfailing good nature is truly wonderful, an inspiration to all around her. Anne Xorris Pearson, 7 I , Bustleton, Pa., English. Pete is a little young yet, but she is coming, and may seem as old as some of the rest of us before it is time for the sheepskins to ajipear. She, is famous as a writer (apply to Mr. Pace), and will without doubt be known in a literary world outside of Swarthmore yet. Her great distinguishing characteristic is her unselfishness. She always does what no one else wants to do, or even thinks of doing. Emily Corson Poley, Mt. Airy, Pa., English. Ever since her Freshman j ' ear Emily has been a model stude, but lately that roommate of hers has been corrupting her excellent habits, so that last semester she was exempt in only five of her six stu lies. One thing which makes Emily distinct is her open-hearted generosity, for riiany of ux know how ready she always is to lend any of her possessions to help a needy fiiind. Her chief fault is an ■ unfortunate habit of making a noise like a duck; in fact, she sli-sli-sli ' s uji and down Fourth Hall all during (|uiet hours, much to the annoyance of her neighbors. 46 Helen Harriet Porterfield, Tidioute, Pa., French. Helen is a shark in French. She can roll it off so easily and so far that Miss Bronk has to hustle to keep up to her. Whatever would we do in our Somerville plays without Helen and her talent? She can impersonate anyone, and every time she does it we think the last time was the best. Frank Bow en Eidgway, Hancock ' s Bridge, N. J., Chemistry. Frank can waltz O. K. If the lady who sang the Waltz-Me-Around-Again song had known Frank first, his Mould have been the famous name, while poor old Bill would have lioen down and out. Frank has one dreadful failing, shown by his fondness for a certain vivid green necktie along with piccadilly collars. We wonder who it is down in Jersey who tells him he looks cute that way. Dwight David Rowlands, K W, Racine, Wis., ' ' Man proposes, but God disposes. Engineering. Our friend Dave is with us again, and this time 1909 is lucky enough to claim him. Dave truly has been through a very great deal, but he always turns up smiling and serene, with man- ners as perfect as ever. Perhaps the latter are due to Miss Lukens ' careful training times a day. 47 Harold Earl Eoy, New York, N. Y., Biology. Eoy shared honors with Cavin in the Tootlipick — Tumbler game last fall. He ' s the man with tlie horse-laugh. Boy would like to be a ladies ' man, and indeed he is gradually working hif3 way into tlie hearts of numerous girls by his thoughtfulness and kindness to them. Ilaiiict White Sheppard, Norristown, Pa., Mathematics. Harriet did not intend to come to College, and when school days were over hurried off to Sandy Sjiring, Md., to teach. It was too exciting at Slierwood. Harriet could not stand the strain, so she came up to Swarthmore and, with her usual hustle, is sailing through in three years and winning liunors in the athletic world. Tjueretia Shoemaker, fl li I , Philadelphia, Pa., French. Lu ' s all to the merry, and that ' s true, too. She knows what she ' s doing, as well ; indeed, it would take a smart person to Lieder around. She ' s always up at the front, game for w-liatever comes next. One evening, though, Lu had a caller. Nothing strange in that, but — the next morning the blinds in Somerville Parlor were shut, and there in the corner were two rocking- chairs almost falling in each otlier ' s arms. 48 Frederick Myerle Simons, 1 A ' ' , Swartlimore, Pa., Economics. Fred is a fellow of mauy accomplishments, but he is extremely modest about them. Even in this short sketch, be it known, he protested against every nice thing that could possibly be said about him. Fred is a great business man; he will be a wonder some day when he gets out in the ■rf ' orld. Of course now, when he is here in College, he cannot accomplish quite so much, be- cause he lias to take some ' ' time out ' ' in West Alcove. He always comes down beaming, however, and goes at it harder than ever. Thomas D. Smedley, Tanguy, Pa. Enaineerina;. When Tommy went to West Chester High School they called him Quaker, but by the time he had worried through a few dances and reception committees down here, iMtt nickname dropped. Raymond Conrad Smith, Philadelphia, Pa. Engineering. Physics IV Class has ever appreciated the brilliance of this diminutive member. However facetious he may appear in the society of the Four Hundred, when he enters this classroom his vocabulary fails him. In the proper positions of his syllogism rings out, ever refreshing to his fellow-classmen, Henceforth this must be true. 49 Thomas Jay Sproul, f K ' ' ' . Chester, Pa. Chemistry. This lengthy specimen ' s habitat is the wicked hamlet of Cliester, as his Chesterian brogue indicates. Although destined to fill a Senatorial armchair, he indulges in anti-practical musings. Especially doth he appear absent-minded when, wandering about his native valleys toward sun- set, he sees it go under hill. Ilanuah Bard Steele, Wayne, Pa., Mathematics. College was primarily for students. Miss Hannah Bard Steele fulfils this specification in a manner which in biblical language would be expressed as pressed down, and shaken together, and running over. Swarthmore hopes and even dares to expect that in Hannah it glories in a second Eucliil. Helen Stelwagon, Ridley Park, Pa., French. The name often suggests the bearer ' s attributes. Still wagging points unniistakalily toward an aggravated case of garrulity. Howbeit, although this is not the exception which proves the rule, her conversation, though ceaseless, is pleasant to the car. Helen is also addicted to a most pernicious habit. She is a confirmed pie-shopper or tippler at Ye Sign of Ye Kobin. The blame, as usual, will be on the College fare. 50 Ealph Steven Straub, Miuersville, Pa., English. To pliilosopliers the following phenomenon is of everyday simplicity. As subject: a young man who indulges freely in all the phases of love-making and, what ' s more, is absolutely callous to everybody else when active in this line. As object: the same youth is peevishly apprehensive of all relevant remarks upon his actions directed toward him by his solicitous friends. As re- sult- his friends redouble their efforts. Walter Cyrus Strunk, Reading, Pa., Engineering. ' ' Time waits for no man ' ' is the motto of our present hero. His morals are timely, his ap- pearance is timely, his work is timely, his very name, although so offensive when misspelled, is timely. Eumor has it that the Weather Bureau has a special agent stationed at Prexy ' s house to hold the watch on Walter and telegraph to Washington the exact placing of 7.28 A. M. Anna Elizabetli Stubbs, London Grove, Pa., German. Stubby is responsible for all the mean things said about us in these personalia. We have tried to get even, but can ' t find any great amount of gossip out about her. Never mind, Stubby ; it ' s an enviable record. 51 Archer Taylor, Swarthmore, Pa. German. Archer joined the class at such a late date that he nearly missed this rogues ' gallery. He is another ' ' Dippy. ' ' You don ' t have to listen to the Prof who is lecturing when Archer is around, for he keeps up such a running string of comments that this is rendered unnecessary and — useless. Never mind ; we are glad to add another ' ' Knight of the Needle ' ' to our string. Edith Belcher Taylor, Asbury Park, N. J., English. Two gooil reasons restrain any jocularity concerning this young lady. First, she herself takes everything in a pleasantly serious manner; and secondly, so many tailors advertise in this priceless volume. Let us propitiate those latter clients by adding that she is decidedly all right. Edith May Taylor, Kennett Square, Pa., Latin. The Student, the Social Belle, and the Athlete. In each anfl every of these departments she lias achieved remarkable success. This child is not uproarious, nor does she make herself very much felt in the unpleasant way, but she sure does get thar. Two examjiles suffice — the sailor ' s hornpipe last year and the late .Junior Reception. 52 Mary Alice Taylor, Swarthmore, Pa., German. Mary entered about the yovingest girl in tlie class. She has since assumed a good deal of dignity, and really looks quite formidable with her glasses on. Whoever would think it, either, who saw her take the part of the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland ? She brought down the house, or, strictly speaking, Somerville Literary Society, that night. Mary Truman, Swarthmore, Pa., English. Although Mary is a day student, she manages to know some of the College people very well. Perhaps it is because she is so near. At any rate, one gentleman in the same class seems fairly well acquainted. At the Junior Reception, too, this year it was almost impossible to give the above ' ' hinted ' ' gentleman one chance to converse with Mary because of the perverse Mexican, who refused to move. A long-suffering member of the committee at last accomplished it, and was well rewarded by two beaming smiles. Edna Anna Tyson, Beading, Pa., English. Edna is the real ' ' old-fashioned girl. ' ' She eschews the loud and fantastic attire of the ' ' twentieth century athletic girl, limited, ' ' she looks askance at the same young creature ' s boisterous and outlandish yew bet yews and simply grands. Her program of life calls for the simple and the true. Art and literature, tinted with a little quiet fussing, is her schedule. Congratulations on her choice. 53 Helen Underbill, A ' , 6, Jericho, N. Y., Englisli. Undy lias ever been of great weight in all College matters, in fact she is an all-round young lady. Her blithe and buxom personality disseminates happine ss into every corner of ap- propriate dimensions. One of the Freshmen early this fall met Miss Helen, clad in her furs, on the Asphaltum. Tlirough the dim twilight she loomed forth in outlines of a monstrous grizzly bear. In his lieadlong flight the Freshman ran into Captain Krueger, who now has him down as a promising relay man. George Henry Van C ' ott, Oyster Bay, N. Y., Engineering. As pretty a lad as one would wish to see. Curly auburn locks, sympathetic blue eyes, in- quiring ears, and a meek voice — this is surely the make-up of a lover. And ' tis e ' en so. Always oblivious to his surroundings, ever pensively reflecting upon the charms of his beloved, Van keeps tliat jiriceless silence which is pregnant with wisdom. Charles Hart Wetter, R W, Philadelphia, Pa., Economics. Charles is very modest about his labors. Nevertheless he does not work so hard ' from an entirely unselfish motive; he thinks that running about as he has had to after the all-important advertisements will possibly remove some of his superfluous flesh — he will not be likely to gain more, at any rate. However, after his experience with the business end of the 1909 Halcyon, 111 ' is well fitted to cope with anything requiring east-iron nerve that he may meet in the big world. 54 John Finch Wilbur, A ' 1 ' , Swartlimore, Pa., Engineering. ' ' Finch ' ' is one of that miserable and oppressed class which the College provides with a 2 x 2 room for eating and social purposes. Doc Crawford ' s ironing board is appropriated daily by this liattalion and pressed into service as a dining table. Despite this maltreatment the day students still patronize the institution, and Finch lieads the active list, probably because he goe s home for grub. Snsanne Yardley Willets, A ' A ' F, Trenton, N. J., Latin. Sue has been active in College social functions ever since her Freshman year. It would in- deed seem strange not to find her on the receiving line and the hand-shaking committees. She enjoys the possession of an inexhaustible supply of chat and easj ' -goiug familiarity, which are accomplishments required by the tireless social circle. James Bennette Williams, (P 1 ' A ' , Eacine, Wis., Chemistry. Coney Island holds out a glorious future to Jimmy. His friends who are endowed with the gift of foresight see a large placard on Surf Avenue indicating that for a nickel, tive cents, half a dime, an excruciatingly low price, of course, the living wonder can be seen performing the marvelous feat of slipping through twenty successive iron fences with apertures less than five inches wide. 55 Jean Margaret Williamson, Plymouth Meeting, Pa., Latin. It is not unusual that a young lady likes her own name so well that she keeps it for life, but it is rather strange that one should prefer a name very much like one ' s own, but shorter. This is one of those unusual incidents. Randolph Taleott Zane, J ? , Swarthmore, Pa., Engineering. Randolphin Talcom is activity personified. A tense, drawn, emaciated countenance ridged with wrinkles. Two alert and dangerously glistening eyes look out from his wasted face like deeply set jasper beads. His lithe and muscular frame tallies with its superstructure. His speech is so rapid that it taxes one ' s wits to keep up with him. Don ' t mind, old spote; you ' ll wake up some millennium — perhaps. Trained by the 1908 Halcyon, Bradley and Krueger have again omitted to hand in their pictures, and have dragged others into their bad ways. We forgive them on the ground that the excuse is quite sufficient. Thank you! AVilliain Jame.s Bradley, Jr., Camden, N. J., Economics. The Sport within a Sport. O Bill, tell us again about that affair at Atlantic City. How much mon did you have to start with? Was it a straight or a flush that roped the golden bits ' ? How many did you have? Who paid for ' em? (Gee whiz.) Fifty boxes! You don ' t .say! Were they Sweet Caporal or Philip Morrises? Perfectos, too? Well, I never! What time in the morning? I was just getting up then. His bark is worse than his bite, so says Prexy. 56 Alice Carey Byers, Darling, Pa., German. Another student to add to the list of A blessed. She helps bring up the scholarship record of the inimitable Class of 1909 to a boiling point. She finds helpful recreation in sitting for Philadelphia artists as ' ' St. Cecilia. ' ' ft Edith Barde Eaclius, East Downingtown, Pa., German. Edith will not give half of us a chance to get acquainted with her, and we ' d like to. The Faculty know her, however, and the good work she does. She seems to come here, get off several brilliant recitations, and go back to prepare for more of the same. William F. Krueger, I K, Watertown, Wis., German. Bill has had lots of spare time on his hands this year, since he could not play football. Well, he certainly did everything but play, and helped the fellows both on the field and at the training table. The day of the Penn game Bill was sad and wandered about First Hall all morning — he wanted to be in it. However, all this has given him extra time to work up good bluffs for his class work, which he has done wonderfully well. Annabel Potter, 11 li 1 , Swarthmore, Pa., French. One day Miss Bronk got Annabel fussed to death by introducing Henry Field to her with the remark that they ought to be very good friends. ' ' Annabel has a charming home in the village. To this her friends certify, as well as to the fact that she is a charming hostess. 57 txMmhttS of 1909 Anna Mart Albertson, Dorothy Laing Ashton, C ' FxiL Ada Ayers, C ' HiVRLES p.

In case of my death I pray the finder to give this to the President or one of those kind-hearted Juniors to foi ' waril tn niie folkes. At school we didn ' t use to act like such dearned fools as they do here. Why, I feel like comin ' home again. There are four distinct types of fellers down here: some fellers as goes around with their heads way up ill the air, fellers as is just right, fellers that want to make us get out, and us. Of course us means the Freshmens. and the fellers that try to kid ii.s is Swai ' thmores. I don ' t know what the otlier two he called. The Swai ' tlnnoi-( ' s is awful. They is as mean as ilirt. A ' e are goin ' to get together an ' see if we can ' t hold ' em down. They ain ' t so much. Since my door ' s been broke I have to rite this on the sly. Just about made up my mind to commit sewiside. Last night they held what ' s called the paddles. I can ' t sit down at all. Them fine fellers is the Juniers. They are the only ones as makes me feel like livin ' . One of ' em loaned me some omega oil. They just about run this place. When the Swarthmores gets too fresh they make ' em stop. I guess I ' ll stick it out. After gettin ' together a little, we new fellers finds that we can hold the Swarthmores easy. We ' ve had class meetins under the protection of those fine Juniers. We beat the 1910 class in the keg rush and in a football game. We licked the Rojihs in basketball. I gums there won ' t be any use for this paper. But I ' ll keep it, ill case I shonld be put out of business. 70 Jfregfiman Clagg ajot Subject Richard Peter Abele, A T, Mathematics, ZauesvilJe, 0. Anna Broomall Allen, English, Schaghtieoke, N. Y.

Its object is to keep abreast with the discoveries in the scientific world. There are five sciences included in the work of the association: Astronomy, Biology and Physiography, Chemistry, Engineering, and Physics. The programs of the meetings consist of a report from the instructors in each of the above departments concerning the recent discoveries in their respec- tive sciences. Papers are then read by different members on topics of scientific interest, followed by an open discussion by the Society. The interesting character of these programs is shown by the full attendance at the meetings, from both the College and the borough. The residents of the borough of Swarthmore are eligible to membership, as well as the students and offi- cers of the College. The meetings are held on the second Third-day evening of alternate months during the College year. ©fficers Fresident : Walter Frank Eittman. Vice Fresident: . Secretary: Frederick Warren Ely.

A chemist or physicist must have a laboi ' atoiy, an engineer must have shops, or none of them can do, or have anyone else do, vital, first- hand work. What his laboratory is to the chemist or physicist and his shops to the engineer, a well- e(|uipped lil)rary is to the .student of language and literature. And nowhere is this more true than in the stiuly of English. For a number of years the income of the Edgar Allen Brown Memorial Fund has been devoted to the purchase of books on English; but the working etjuipment thus obtained, valuable as it has been, was seen to be iiiader|uate for the growing needs of the department. Within the last two years, through till ' Lr( ' ticnisi1 - 111 ' ci ' i-fMiii fi ' iciids oF the ( ' ollege, a finid, known as the Morris L. Clothier English Fund, has been provided to meet this want, and by next year it will be possible to do, in the majority of the English courses, a sort of work which has hithei ' to been out of the question. 138 The new books have been chosen — or rather are being chosen, for the list is as yet by no means com- plete — with two chief ends in view. On the one hand, the Library has been seriously deficient in technical apparatus for doing minute, exact, and critical work, whether linguistic or literary. On the other hand, the gaps have been wide and rather numerous in our collections of standard texts of English writers, so that courses which demanded broad reading in any given field or period were seriously handicapped. In choosing the new books, aecordingiy, both needs have Ijeen kept in mind — the apparatus for doing inten- sive work has been largely supplemented, and the gaps in the collections of standard texts are being rapidly filled. On the more technical side, a few of the additions may be mentioned. We have secured complete sets of the publications of the Early English Text So- ciety, of the Chaucer Society, the Spenser Society, the Percy Society, the Ballad Society, the Old and New Shakspere Societies, and of other similar or- ganizations. Complete files have been added of An.glia, of Englische Studien, of Paul and Braune ' s Beitrdge, and of a number of other indispensable technical periodicals, and the incomplete sets of sim- ilar periodicals are being filled up. In this same connection may be mentioned the Arber Transcript of the Stationers ' Register, the facsimiles of the First Folio Shakspere and of the 1532 Chaucer, and the set of facsimile reprints of the Shakspere Quartos. What these few items alone mean (and they are given as representative), both in cash and value, will be fully evident only to the initiated. What they really mean — together with the boolcs of the sort still to be added — is the opportunity of doing scholarly work instead of merely superficial work — a thing which, with all the good will in the world, no one can nowadays do without such tools. Lists are dry things, and it is not intended to tvirn this note into a catalogue. But it is hard not to speak — after one has known what it is to be with- 139 out them — of such typical additions as the Pluth Libi-ar ' , the ' Fuller Worthies Library, the Chertsey .Worthies, the (irosart Spenser, Dodsley ' s Old Plays, the BuUen editions of ilarlowe, Middleton, Peele and ilarston, the Pearson reprints of Ileywood, Dekker, and Brome, or (among more recent collections), the Coleridge-Prothero Byron, the Scott-Saiiitsbury Dry- den, the Ehvin-Courthope Pope, the Waller and Glover Hazlitt, and a score of others of their quality. Books to stiidij they are, to be sure, but books also to read. For it is to be hoped that the new depart- ment library may become not only a ' limbeck of working- brains, but also a place where books may be read for the love of them. Yours, John L. Lowes. April 9th, 1908. ' I ' ll I III Ed 11 III- iif I lie Halcyon. De. r ] 1k. Editor: — The sub-alpine zone, otherwise known as the Biological, is characterized by a low temperature and a loud smell. Its notable fauna includes the following species : the chimpanzee (Aiilliroi oj Hliccus niger), a baboon (CrrcopiUirc)i! sp.), and a iiumber of stiffs (Ilomo sapiens), buth living and extinct. Of this last species many are migratory, while some few varietal forms appear to be at least partiallj resident. Among these last might be mentioned Homo sapiens Macdowellii; Homo sapiens Carolus (a dark-colored variety), and Homo sapiens Trotteri, an ancient form feeding largely upon the leaves of Nicotiana tahacum. The ecological factors which are operative in this zone are in the main edaphic (dirt), though the above mentioned olfactory element is dominant and exerts a widespread influence beyond the zone itself. Possibly in the course of the next thousand years certain changes will take place causing the disap- pearance of this zonal fauna from the higher alti- tude which it now occupies, and its withdrawal to a habitat nearer sea level. It seems that long resi- dence in this zonal area has developed a peculiar type of olfactory organ in certain forms, which is marked by a tolerance of the characteristic odors that prevail in the region and that profoundly affect the fauna of contiguous zones. The only predatory species of the zone is the above-mentioned H. S. Trot- teri. which finds an easy mark in many of the migratory fonns that jieriodically invade his domain. With these few remarks, I submit this report of an exceedingly interesting zoological region. Very faithfully yours, Spencer Trotter. 140 April 13th, 1908. A)i den hochwolilgeboreneii Herrn Frederick M. Simons, Derjuniorklassedesswartlimorecollegezupemisyl- vanie njalirh uchHalc yo nhauptredakteur, Swartlimore College. Mein liebee Fritz: — The privilege of writing about the German Department for publication in the Halcyon is readily accepted as a chance to put down in black and white some of our woes. To begin with, the Library is quite deficient in the absolutely necessary working books — dictionaries, grammars, histories of literature, and particularly in the very texts of the literature itself. There has, to be sure, been a gradual addition here and there, as certain books seemed at the time indispensable; but the fund available under the present system is altogether inadequate. A purchase fund of sev- eral thousand dollars for the immediate acquisition of the foundation of a working German library, and an endowment fund for the future building up of such library, are the crying needs of the department. The acquisition of technical and scientific works in the libraries of other departments has been and will continue to be an added incentive to the inter- est of the advanced students of the German Depart- ment. And those majoring in several of the other departments have begun to realize how indispen- sable it is for them to be able to read the scientific ' books, magazines and reports in the language of that country which has shown itself to be foremost in the world of scientific research. The removal of recitation classroom to the old Li- brary was a distinct gain in many ways, especially as that room is not subjected to the noises of ' the halls and telephone booths ; but we will, all of us, be glad to join a movement for the suppression of the gratuitous disturbances of the railroad trains, which are so annoying in the phonetic work of the elementary language classes. The number of students in the several classes has varied from one to fifty-fovir. To be sure, if it is a lecture course, the number of hearers makes little difference except as it entails more labor upon the instructor in the individual quizzes and conferences. But no one can feel more keenly than the under- signed the difficulties and injustice to the students of such large classes in language recitation in its elementary stages. Let us live upon the hope and expectation that the immediate future will find a remedy for our shortcomings. Dein hochaehtvoUergebenster, Benjamin F. Battin. 141 ] Iy dear Halcyon : — The Departmeut of Euyiueering during ' the past ear has been materially streugthened and enlarged by cieeiipying a new Iniilding, which is constructed I ' or shop and laboratt ry practice. It is practically a fireproof building, with walls of concrete blocks and reinforced concrete tlooi ' s, columns and stairs. The main shops in this building are large and espe- cially well lighted. The first floor is devoted to forging and inolding. The second is occupied with the metal-working machinery of the department, while on the third lloor are located the woodwork- ing tools and benches. In addition, the building provides for a gas-engine laboratory and a cement- testing laboratory. This building represents the most advanced type of modern architecture. The de- partment was one of the first in the country to in- troduce in its curriculum instruction in reinforced concrete, which is now considered to be perhaps the greatest advancement in modern engineering. It was also among the f irst to recognize and to teach the use of the microscope in the study of the struc- ture of steel and iron. The importance of this is now being recognized, by the leading railroads espe- cially; and instead of specifying the character of their rails chemically, they are ordering them largely on a basis of microscopic analysis. Some marked improvements have also been made in the electrical 142 plant of the College during the past year, wherehy its facilities for furnishing power and light have been more than doubled by the installation of an exceptionally fine high speed engine, the new dynamo, and a large number of motors. Yours truly, W. M. Stine. To the Editor of the Halcyon. Dear Sir: — The exceedingly polite attitude of ' 09 Halcyon ' s staff toward the heads of College depart- ments renders the situation slightly embarrassing for the latter. Heretofore the publishing of the College annual has meant for them not miich more active participation than graceful accpiiescence in its words of praise, well-concealed grimaces at its dis- favor, or, perchance, a feeling of thankfulness for obscurity that led to their ignoring. Now they are subjected to the temptation of blowing their trum- pets in the laud, with the sole alternative of being considered either extinct or laggards on the road to ' ' develoi3ment. ' ' La Rochefoucauld ' s well-known j)hrase, in its application to professors, may be para- phrased as Love of one ' s own methods is the great- est of all flatterers. With this in mind the writer of the present report offers a prayer to the gods for modesty, and begins a review of the work in the French Department. ' ' During the past five years the number of students clamoring for instruction in the language and litera- ture of la belle France has increased just one hun- dred per cent. Unlike the classic French drama, the French instruction offered at Swarthmore has not observed any unity of place. The scene has shifted- to different parts of Parrish Hall, being laid at pres- ent in the sisacious territory formerlj occupied by the Germans. Although the exposure here is of a somewhat northern nature, climatic influences are, on the whole, favorable to the development of Ro- mance thought and speech. Sunshine is imported in the hearts and on the faces of the youthful fre- quenters of the place; nor have any more alarming storms been known than when torrents of abuse rained from the instructor ' s mouth upon unhappy, sinning Seniors, or when earthquakes seemed immi- nent, owing to the loud guffaws emitted by young men in their flrst encounters with such mirth-inspir- ing expressions as pommes de terre and voild. In the last flve years, too, the number of courses offered in our department has steadily increased, until now it reaches the number of fourteen. Brander Mathews ' s i rophecy that the drama will come into its own in America is already being fulfilled in Room J, since a new lecture course upon the history and development of dramatic literature has recently been introduced. Comparisons are usually odious, but honorable 143 mention shonld be o-iyen here to the present class in second-year work. It is one of the hu ' gest in ele- mentary French taught to-day in the colleges or universities of our coiuitry : and it surely contains as great a percentage of A and B students as can be exhibited during the space of sixty minutes in any classroom. Parisian manners prevail. Indeed, even in the polite precincts of the Hotel de Ram- liouillet never probably was a commodite de la co)i- versation tendered to a late-comer with greater alacrity than a seat in the front row of French 2 and 3 is often renounced in favor of the last arrival. The meetings of the French Club have become, to a large extent, movable feasts. Lectures in French are occasionally given before this august body by men or women from outside. Perhaps the most interesting of the pi ' csent year was that de- livei ' cd in October by Marion Peirce. As the French Department listened to the elocpient and correct lan- guage of its former student, it felt its head, like that of the peonies in the fairy story, toute gonflee. To Professor Vurpillot ' s wonderment, we have not yet utilized our home material and eclipsed the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania by a French play. We cer- tainly pcssess the histrionic talent. Who knows to what length our ambition may lead us, if this aca- demic year proves long enough? IS VBELLE BRONK. To the Editor of the H.vlcyon. Dear Sir: — The Greek Department at Swarth- more has had a somewhat peculiar experience. The language has been taiight here from the opening of the College. But in those early days it was not re- quired for the degree of A. B., and therefore the number of students in the Greek classes was small. Later it was made an essential for the degree of A. ' B., and the classes rapidly filled up. For though a new course, without Greek, was established lead- ing to the degree of B. P., there were still many .students who appreciated the value and distinction of the time-honored A. B. and were willing to con- form to the new requisition in order to obtain that degree. Now, in more recent years, we have prac- tically gone back to the original situation as regards Greek. In accordance with the practice generally in colleges Swarthmore has again made Greek an elective study, not an essential f ir the degree of A. B. The result of this measure has been, here as elsewhere, to diminish the number of students in the Greek classes. This is, of course, a matter of regret to professors of Greek and to all interested in the study of this noble language. The fact is, however, that we philhellenes must recognize the con- stantly increasing demands of comparatively ncAV studies growing out of the enormous advance of many of the practical sciences of the day. Then, 144 too, the modern languages have been forcing their way to the front with great rapidity, while entirely new departments have come into notice in the realm of economics and sociology. It was inevitable that in this large development the less practical studies should, in this very practical age, fall somewhat into the background. Still, we lovers of Greek may take At Swarthmore the study of Greek will continue to go on, and all the courses usually given in our colleges will continue to be offered in the future as in the past. WiLiJAM Hyde Appleton. m! this comfort, at least — that we now get willing stu- dents, a fact which means on the whole better stu- dents than when Greek was compulsory. Greek will continue to be studied. The ■ language has never died, nor will it die ; for it is instinct with immortal vigor. As Lowell says, Oblivion looks in the face of the Grecian muse only to forget her purpose ! ' ' Editor the Halcyon. Dear Sir: — The Latin Department of Swarthmore College offers the usual four courses for those who wish systematic training in the language and litera- ture. Besides these, there are courses in Roman Private Life and in The Toi ography and Re- mains of Ancient Rome, and one special course, in- tended primarily for those who have had little or no Latin previous to coming to College, but who for various reasons desire to take it up here. This last mentioned course is often elected ' i satisfactory results by young men who intend to study medicine or law. There are two other characteristic features of our Latin work that perhaps deserve attention: 1. At the close of Junior year, a few weeks are al- ways devoted to the study of media?val hymns. Many of these are beautiful in thought and form and highly valuable and interesting, however much they deviate from the strict so-called classical standard. 2. The second semester of Senior year has for many years 145 been devoted to a compreheusive study of Virgil ' s works. This is believed to be especially usetul to those who are preparing;- to teach Latin ; further, it frives an t)pportuuity for our advanced students to read the great poet with more intelligence and appre- ciation than was possible when as immature boys and girls tliey conned their .Eueid in a preparatory school. Ferris W. Price. T i 11(1 Eiliiiir (if IIaIjCYon. 1)e. r Sir: — Several new com-ses have been added this year in Education, and the work is growing in importance and influence. The department is aim- ing to prepare practical and efficient teachers, and all students who expect to aid in directing educa- tional work should take at least one or two of these coui-ses. It is a pitiful sight to see a college grad- uate trying to handle a school of boys and girls when he or she has no conception of what that school should be; and one of the aims of this department is to try to relieve the young pedagogue of that ex- quisite feeling of conscious weakness which creeps over the unprepared teacher at the approach of an unexpected visitor. P.sychology is a popular sul)ject. and three courses are now offered. ] Iost of 1lic v(ii-k in this depart- ment is devoted to the normal, human, adult mind and its laws of development. We can now speak of the Swarthmore Psycho- logical Laboratory, where many forms of mental ac- tivity are studied by experimental methods. Here the abnormal may also play a part, and the stu- dent may vividly experience all of those weird feel- ings which are given by the mysterious raps and knocks of mediumistic phenomena ; or one may have the illusious, hallucinations and apparitions which accompany spirit communication, through crystal- gazing or through the strange phenomena of coinci- dental dreams. In the laboratory also are demon- strated the modern methods of proving the guilt or innocence of the criminal by means of the time reac- tions of associated ideas and their accompanying emotions. Here one may understand by means of the Ouija board the interesting characteristics of automatic writing and the presence of a double per- sonality. Among the many other interesting phe- nomena are the changes ,in breathing, circulation, and the volume of the arm which accompany changes in consciousness. Of course, the truth may be reached in many ways, as was shown by one student who, when asked, What is space? replied, Space — er, ah, well — doctor, I am not quite sure I can define it, but I have it in mv head. Bird T. Baldwin. 146 To the Editor of Halcyon. Dear Sir : — ilark Twain has said, ' ' To be good i noble; but to teaeli others to be good is nobler — and less trouble. Years ago. at an agricultural college, one was taught that farming is the most ancient, the most honorable, and the noblest of all high callings; but later, in a school of pedagogy, one learned that, after all, teaching is the highest of all noble professions; and one venerates and respects the venerable and respectable men and women who are doing the teach- ing in other departments at Swarthmore. Theirs is a noble work ; but those who are teaching others to teach have a work that is nobler — and less trouble. Others must work up to the standards of teaching defined in the classes in methods, while the instructor in methods has only to keep his standards down to his practice — a much simpler matter. From this it must be evident that the Department of Education is the only perfect department in the College — the only one in which the teaching is done in accordance with the standards of excellence adopted by both students and instructors. As such it deserves, and as soon as this announcement of its merits shall have been read it will enjoy, the cor- dial hatred of every other department. It has the further satisfaction of having induced in the student at Swarthmore a critical attitude toward the work of the professors. For, until the inauguration of the courses in Education, such a thing as criticism of the methods of instruction by students had been unheard of — by the i)rofessors — since their own college days. The Department of Education is young, but it hopes to grow older, if it lives, and to find many more ways of getting itself disliked. Edward B. Rawson. To the Editor of the Halcyon: — The College department devoted to the study of the History of Philosophy and Religion has fol- lowed its routine as set down in the catalogue with various and varied variations. Most, or at least many, of your readers will know by experience of its routine ; wherefore in these notes we will confine ourselves mainly to the variations. The course in Ethics given as an hour study last year was doubled this year. It offered and improved many opportunities for considering college conduct and the wider duties of citizenship. A considerable addition has been made to the Library in the way of books dealing with various systems of ethics, or related sub.jects. While speak- ing of the Library, mention should be made of a number of books presenting the new fad in philos- ophy known as pragmatism — a fad, by the way, 147 DEPAKTMENT OF CHEMISTRY worth reading and thinking about. Several new magazines have also been added to the siipply of the department. A complete set of Records of the Past is on our shelves, and the current periodical list is enriched by The Philosophical Review and the new Harvard Theological Review. Hastings ' Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels, and several new Lives of Christ are among the new books in the line of Bible study. An extra class this year is a small one taken with- out credit by a few students who are reading sys- tematically through the Old Testament, with critical comment and discussion. The regular class in Life and Times of Jesus is this year trying a new text- book, presenting especially the critical and philo- sophical view of the most interesting period in all history. The College department can perhaps hardly claim the activities of the Sunday morning conference class, yet the writer feels privileged to note that it has been imusually alive and interesting this year, and to invite either visits or constant attendance. The principal large event outside the College which is appropriate to mention is the meeting of the Religious Education Association in Washington. The head of the department read a paper, at the session devoted to colleges and schools, on The Sub- ject-matter of Teaching for Christian Citizenship, which will be published in the proceedings of the association. Other outside activities have included a number of lectures, addresses, etc., and coopera- tion with various committees working for civic bet- terment. Jesse H. Holmes. 149 character fertci)es Small packages eonnnte good goods. What happened? The class is settled and qniet. That identical thing, thongh there is some hesitancy felt in appropriating ' good ' in this connection, in- ferring as it does, etymologically — ' ' The voice from above the professor ' s desk, where its owner was making rapid note of the few absentees, was remarkably deep and emphatic. Bnt, before I go on, ' ' he interpolates, let me state that I wish yon to continue vith that two-thonsand-page reference I assigned last time, and read, as soon as possible, four chapters in Baker, as well as the article, ' Was Malvolio Cross Gartered, ' which you will find in the last number of the Cenlnrioii Macj- uzine. As I stated a moment before, etymologically this significance is slightly inferior to wliat is meant here. This, on the other hand, is overcome possibly by its repetition, which, let me say, is, how- ever, no redundancy, but is merely the sublimated essence of the necessary facts. Why is he speaking ])rose instead of poeti ' y? We hope it is not because, not being able to get over that youthful, mechanical verse-making period, lie gave up the attempt altogether. Now he is looking at the cracks in the ceiling, pressing his temple with the palm of his hand in the meantime; and then, witli a quick [livotal swerve, he poises his foot on the back of an adjacent chair. Regarded from another view point, the thing has an absolutely different appearance. With this new turn of thought he passes back and forth in frpnt of the platform, nervously jingling a bunch of keys. However, to bring cosmos out of chaos, refer for an instant (picking up a heavy volume, which opens of itself t(] the right place) to Italy, that limbeck of teeming brains (the book, closed with a snap, lands on the far corner of the desk with a thud, wdiile the professor turns to the bhickboard, whereon he taps with a minute piece of chalk), refer, then, to It-a-ly, make a comparative study of the ethical relations, in the light, as it were, of the cultural influences of such an art as Michelangelo ' s. What do you deduce? Take an example. lint, why go that far? Why hunt the region beyond the stars, when, to be concise, you have what you, want — Whr-r-rrl fs that the bell? Ah (with a falling inflection), tliat will do for to-day! 150 What are those heavy little books covered with darling Alice blue cloth? Why, you don ' t say! That ' s why they are used here. Yes, they look pretty stiff. I could imagine that they can beat glass in elasticity, which I somehow can ' t help but get mixed up with stifl ' ness. Those beautiful pictures done by the same man? He must be a genius. I really never saw such artistic creations. He surely must have an eye for the aisthetic. You say two? Well, I suppose that ' s so. You don ' t say! When President S vf in was on his jaunt? It must have been a sore respon- sibility. And the football season over, and those fellows with nothing to do. It must have weighed upon him appreciably. Had to sing in Collection, too? That must have been awful! Isn ' t it lucky that he just happened to pass by now! He certainly looks like a scholar. Ho holds his head as if he were looking for a lost nickel. College affairs must have rested heavily on those shoulders. If the Halcyon were a Boston-in-a-nutshell booklet, we should give a full length view of tliis personage, including by all means a presentation of his radiating smile. No ; he is not a football player; though we believe he is an advocate of intercollegiate athletics to a limited degree and under fitting restrictions. And he is no policeman, as some up-couutry visitor had the daring to imagine. Now you hear him talking. Tactful? Yes, indeed! Diplomatic? Always! Such a kindly, careful, gentlemanly voice, you say? True! Ever get angry? Not when we ' re around. And somehow or other he seems to fill and dominate any amount of space. There is no question about his being a great man. The latest laurel laid at his fe3t is the glory of having turned a College mishap into a social benefit to all concerned. What a successor for Germany ' s late Charlemagne Tower! What do I smell? The air is laden with Bull Durham fumes. Probably one of those Wharton Hall reprobates. Lost my guess — ' tis one of ye Faculty. My goodness ! What a pictu ' e ! Clothes all covered with chalk dust, hair all mussed up and accumulating compound interest against the barber, and lastly, two misty eyes hardly visible through the murky paste on his glasses. And yet a man is not made by his clothes, nor do appearances count for much. Here we have an example. One of the best teachers and one of the best men of whom Swarthmore can boast, hope- lessly in love with his subject and with a happy knack of making this contagious. Just wait until he gets the wherewithal, and old Swarthmore will be the Mecca of Arabian star-gazers. 151 Guten ilorgcn, Hevr Professor, resouncletl pseudo-Teiitonically through the coiiiiuoflious ajiart- meuts of the German department, which quarters had finally been secured for Deutsch purposes through the jiowerful instrumentality of The Fhoeiilx, a bird mightier than the sword. The personality of that notorious ' ' mixture ' ' suit responded in encouraging tones and with the arrogant ease of ' ' them that know. His delicious sauer-kraut speech, when literally translated, conveyed no more meaning lliau What ' s your trouble. The A-plus disciple looked self-satisfied and replied glibly enough, • ' Selir gut, danke. The prof, vainly trying to conceal his disappointment, brushed off an im- aginary particle from his pepper-aud-salt, etc., and launched forth in his more patriotic mode of expression, to the bewilderment of the aspiring pupil of Schiller. Whenever we find a liappy, peaceful community there is sure to be some brave, quiet spirit boliiiid it. This is true at Swarthmorc as elsewhere. Two years ago a new presence came among us, very sweetly and quietly; but it took but a very short time for that presence to make itself strongly felt in our college life. Very soon changes were brought about, we scarcely knew how; but the more thoughtful ones soon learned to trace them to their source, which proved to be this same presence. How very often we have heard something like this: My work and my sympathy are with the stu- dent, and I do not believe there is a better body of students anywhere; but I want you to live up to your full possibility. We believe her. The chalk broke! ( ! ! !— xxx? ?: : — ?.) This was heard on the front row. Tlie stub was hurled to the floor. Whee-oo! Someone chuckled. Who did that? — Thank you. — If I catch you at tliat again — well, don ' t ask me what I ' ll do. I don ' t mind the noise, but I ' ll receive impu- dence from no one! The next piece of chalk served to finish the formuUe and equations. After this nothing disturbed the worthy discourse on the elements for some time. Who ' s whistling? This is no choral association! Finally the end came, with this mcsi for an examination next time, over all you Ijave had. lessage: Don ' t forget to be prepared 152 Wit and humor are lueky ' ' law stiule ' ' has tort, gored by the latter enjoyed or suffered this He eonieth ; he cometh case is clearly stated, hurled this anathema at swered : ' ' Mighty glad two attributes which all English 1 students will differentiate with ease. The basked under the first, and the recreant one guilty of no less than a grand , has squirmed and thought of his collar-laundry bill. However, few have treatment more than once, as the course has lapsed into a true football course, not.

However, to make up for his lack of height, Nature kindly graced him with a meek though classic countenance and crowned it with a flaming torch of glory. The successor of the grea t Macedonian is good to look upon. But along with that gleaming torch, as usual, goes a mighty wrath. While our Sabbatical loafer feeds the dove of peace with occasional Dutch olive leaves, we are put to the plow of history with a vengeance. No half furrows now. Whole acres are pointed out to us by this strenuous Pharaoh, and deep must we plow. He who knoweth little of the art is sure to break the backs of his faithful oxen. He ' s a nice lady! Sweet manners and pretty eyes! Tripping along daintily, bestowing benevo- lent smiles here and there, endeavoring to make a good impression with his charming voice, so well modulated and flexible. Pretty, clever, witty, complimentary, stinging, sarcastic little speeches — all these, yea, and even more can our model of propriety make. Ask any one how much they are enjoyed and appreciated. 153 your s]i; io imii-li by alk about Silence! still silence! Long ago the bell sounded. Has the professor with the classic brow, iron-gray hair and well-trimmed, pointed beard been wafted into the land of dreams? Day dreams, yes. But now comes from the depths of his boots, a sonorous, husky, quavering voice. A few ques- tions first. ' ' And then with a gesture toward a student taking a last look at his book: Rise, please! After a pause: In your reading for to-daj ' , what especially striking or beautiful passages did you note? ' ' After some floundering around on the part of the student comes the most w ' elcome, ' ' That will do. Please follow while I give some comments. ' ' Then he begins. Never is he quiet a minute. His arms, legs, in fact, his whole body keeps time w-ith the utterance of his words of learning. With finger pressed to his chin, and his dreamy eyes scanning the page, he says, These Ijeautiful lines bring to mind a passage from Byron. Then, oblivious to everything, he rambles on and on, reciting poetry by the yard. With real, expressive, dramatic and almost wild gestures and gyrations, he performs from one end of the huge (?) platform to the other, never realizing that he is crashing into chair and desk, thereby probably scratching and crijipling them for life. At the con- clusion of the scene comes the familiar advice: 1 re ' ()mmend all of you to read Byron ' s ' Childe are moments. ' ' Lounging all over himself and a high pile of dingy and scarified dictionaries, he drawds, way of preface! ' ' When ho wan lers thus from one subject to another, can we lielieve that his statement, a minute, ' ' is true? A damnable practice, this! An awed stillness pervades the room, embarrassing to all below the platform. The fairer half — as yet not the better half — indicate their emotions by looking tensely at their text-books and appear entirely absorbed in learning. The less tangible male element glance .-ipprovingly at one another, and some even indulge in a smile at the above excruciating profanity. With a Christian desire to lessen the strained conditions, the unruly steam pipes hit up their sym- phonic harmonies with redoubled energy. Despite these manifestations, the atmos]ihere remains charged with ]jctrifying electric currents. Its vibrations are countable. But what of the originator of this dreadful silence? He has the situation well in hand. With evident satisfaction his well-shaven face broa 1ens with that expression which we are told mantles the hero ' s countenance when he has done his bestest. He relishes the apparent stupefaction of the young ladies, and the frank tokens of appreciation displayed by his fellow-men warm his heart. Yes, this van a coup (t ' l ' tnt. . t last the wandering thoughts of America ' s future economists are rudely bi ' ought back to Swarthmore.

' Our Little Sweet 154 It is perhaps ten minutes after the hour has begun that the comparatively gentle voice comes out from the midst of a black-pompadour-encircled smile and asks: Are there any questions on the last (a pause while the proprietor of said voice gulps and nods affirmatively) on the Ust lesson? I think the essential fact was that the heart says ' lub ' (two black eyebrows go up rapidly to wish the lower extremity of the pompadour good morning) in the normal person as ii-eV as ' dub. ' Now, it seems to me, we had better take up to-day ' s lesson. The record book on tlie desk is closed and, while one fourth of the class is announcing that they have not, and why they have not, prepared their lesson, the remaining members struggle for the possession of the one and only text-book, which exists in an unhappy manuscript form. With many fluctua- tions, the voice explains the difficult points in the work, stopping every few minutes to inquire, Is that clear? Someone iisks a question, which starts a lengthy discussion on a matter rather at a tangent, perhaps, to the work at hand. The smile deepens with delight at this interest evinced on the part of the class, but changes to a look of astonishment, and then of enduring patience, after the owner has tried several times but failed, to get a word in. About twenty minutes later he gets his chance and feelingly clears up the matter (here the smile returns) by citing a statistical proof, and finishes by saying: It seems to me that is the only possible result, and indeed that has been my experience, both (What a cadence to that little word — B-O-th!) at the West Chester (the tones are now suppressed) State Normal School iind at Harva-a-d. So, I think (a pause for a breath, then deliberately) — I think that clears up the matter entirely. I ' m sorry (more rapidly after a gliiuce at his watch) ' ' that we haven ' t covered more ground to-day, but we will have to leave this now, and i will go over with you, from the syllabus, your work for the next time, in the remaining ten minutes. In the future, when true merit comes to its own, a fair bust embellished with a stalactitie appendage from the chin will hold a prominent position in the Swarthmore Hall of Fame. A bronze tablet will acquaint the curious with the model ' s excellent qualities. A man of manj phases; a devoted servant of the law; protector of womankind; pillar of the Student Exec. — such will be the eulogistic epithets. However, with such generalization, he of the stalactite would still remain clothed in mystery. But below we find further identification: A faithful adherent to the Baptist faith, believing in frequent and total immersions, he gave to them that hungered. ' ' A faint touch of recognition follows this information. The swish- swash on the staircase is recalled. Many famished students will remember their benefactor. Still unsatisfied, we may look further and discover, in much less conspicuous type, the follow- ing: He sailed the briny deep, and hence was not averse to occasional outbursts of tolerably strong vernacular. His greatest lack was humor. With that we are satisfied with our guess. 155 A practical demonstration of brotherly love. That face looks familiar. I must have seen ir among the Tissot pictures. It ' s that peculiar type — full, flowing, thriving boaril and thought-singed hair; eyes with that far-away expression that startles one at first. Yes; well does it tally with the worldly example of brotherly love. In paternal relations his brilliancy is evident. By a miscalcula- tion one of the strong man ' s living Indian clubs tears the performer ' s sleeve out. Herman, won ' t thee try the other? are his blessed words. In the arena let Hermes be smitten by a swiftly revol -ing missile: the tlirower thereof receives a lacrosse S and a Bible A. Let ns follow, him to the Alumni Eoom. Here we see him dispensing knowledge jraUn. Some accuse him of leading the j ' oung astray by teaching the most hair-raising heresies. Otliers, moreover, assail his political economy with pugnacions fierceness. Nevertheless, he lives up to his jn-inciples, vacillating as they are. It is one of those dripping days of a very postliumons spring. The campus responds like a saturated sponge to any pressure of the foot. The trees dribble unsympathetically. Yon can see your image in the shiny Asphaltum. Collection ' is over and work is on. There issues from out the portals of Parrish a gaunt figure which would attract notice anywhere. At first one imagines the un- fortunate pos.se.ssor to be a Sicilian bandit. Upon further investigation, one decides that he must be a hungry though artistic specimen from the ' ' Quartier Latin. ' ' His shaggy raven locks are sur- mounted by an obsolete mold of felt hat. A heavy overcoat is ' ' chiquely ' ' sjiread o ' er his stooping shoulders in mantle effect. His feet are clad in a pair of gaiters and roomy galoshes. The pensive bend of the head and the poetical amble complete the pleasant sight, which soon vanishes into the Librarv. At last the -class has climbed the last weary flight that leads uji to the place of odors. Miss , 1 have an absence checked up against you. You spoke to me about that, didn ' t you? I thought so. I don ' t like to let any absences stand. Let ' s see — last time we had gotten how far? Oh, yes. ' ' The lecture has begun and the class is now learning how to gras|i the salient facts and understand the l)roail views of the problems by means of delightful stories of personal experiences: How that loon over there in the case was shot; fishing in Nova Scotia, or some strange medical case — That bell always rings too soon! And the class agrees. 158 ' Tis dark. Night lias covered the campus, among other thiugs, with her blanket. One lone lantern stands fort h in the pitchy black and discloses the inviting exterior of the bakery. Above, to the right, sleep the innocent fairies. Muffled snores, mingled with the squeaking of the weather vane on the dome, are the only sounds. The night air smells like murderous robbery. Distin- guish yon dark shadows stealthily looming forth from the blackness. Seest thou yonder the corpulent one and his diminutive vassals? They approach the kitchen forsooth. ' Sblood! They have forced the Leviathan looks and wend their cautious footsteps toward the goal of precious dainties. Alas! To-morrow nothing but plain boiled spuds. Is there none to uphold the majesty ' of the law? Where are the Quinquenoirs or Papa Chronos? But hearken! Two ..32 caliber shots ring out on the still night, followed by the scuffling and pufSng of a hand-to-hand combat. Re- mark the flashes of the miniature solar systems as the blows register. Third round and the Pinker- ton man has his men — Dancer, Fusser, Breaker and Pugilist. Hip! Hip! Let me introduce you to our famous Physical Culture Artist and Training-Table Tyrant. Gaze at him, my child. Do you notice his beetling brow? What ' s that? Well, he is pretty fierce, but you get used to him. Yes, he ' s ver} ' strict, too. Ask some of the football men. Firm chin, isn ' t it? That comes from trying to drive gymnastic ability into dumb Freshmen. You can ' t notice it in the picture, but he has such a springy walk, although he ' s no chicken. Do you notice his cynical look? Poor man; no wonder! You ought to see the way the men break training and run away on trips; and after all he ' s done for them, too. Mean things! But we must pass on now, for Doc is a very busj ' man. When Cupid assails the serried ranks of our most austere Faculty, it is time to let his mother know what he ' s up to. It doesn ' t happen freqviently, but when it does it is a ease for the journalists. The first symptoms were evident when the doctor began his amorous sonnets. A long series of dainty fragments graced his private printing press. Poems of a decidedly love- lorn cast followed the attack. However, no one really suspected the victim, and it was several months before the world got wind of the matter. What prompted this secrecy is a riddle to most. Modesty, possibly; but whose business is that as long as he shows up in class regularly and keeps us working like niggers? ' Tis well. 159 Pr. : — Thee take it up there, Susanna Greene. Oh, no; I always get thy name eonfused with thy sister ' s. Excuse me, Mary. Well? M.: — I haven ' t prepared this, professor. Pr. : — Well, then thee try it, Edna. I know that it is a very difficult passage. E. : — Publius left the city of Calabrium and collected his plenipotentiaries. Pr. : — That will do for thee. I appreciate that it is a hard thing to find exactly the right word. I see that thee understands the meaning all right. Now doesn ' t thee think that it is ' approached ' instead of ' left ' ? We usually find the name of that part of the country spelled ' Calabria, ' but doubtless thee has found ample justification for thy translation. It doesn ' t seem to me that ' collect ' gives the right sense here. I think we should say ' disbanded ' ; and ' soldiers ' is a better word than ' jilenipotentiaries. ' Thee understands I ' m not criticising thy translation — only pointing out another. Eeminds me of when I was a boy. Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! I don ' t know- whether yon ' ve heard this before, but it always struck me as particularly funny. Ha! Ha! Ha! Why, is that the bell? My watdi must be decidedly off ! In vain do we peruse the goodly list of the Faculty — among the instructors we find him not. Yea, we may even study the names of that lengthy department in the catalog which even the College knows not how to label. We may find the resonant name of her majesty of the great and greasy ironing machine, of his e.xcellency the baker, of the lord controller of the farm, and of many more; alas, where is his famous name? Despite editorial and eatalogical ostracising, this eminent personage has exerted his beneficent influence upon our institution for some seven years. A partial recognition, however, the College has bestowed upon this unfortunate, for his assembly room has been located on the ground floor, where all can enter its portals. It is a tribute to the great man ' s personality that this same room is much frequented. The fee of signing up contrasts well with the fee of ten dollars in Those who have had experiencarter sutficeth for a card. chemistry and shop: an humble que unanimously agree that The Detor holds his job down on account of high efficiency. It is to be doubted if there is one more expert in his line, even in the universities of this and foreign lands. Moreover, he is conscientious to a fault.

Bkooks Sl.MONS Detkh K 172 Underhii.l Shell Annual ileeting of pinsiter octetj), ?|elb 4=11=08 With a sharp tap of the gavel, L. Dorothy Lister calls to order the annual meeting of the Swarthmore Spinster Society and addresses the gathering, which fills all available seats in Collection Hall. Dear Sister Swartlimoreans in the Non-support of Spinsterhood : — In response to the honor you have conferred on me in electing- me to the presidency of this Society, I have worked even harder, and have been more successful than ever before, in further- ing the eaiTse of coeducation. But the results to the Society at large can best be heard from the com- mittee from the classes, on whom I shall now call, one at a time. Miss Pfouts. Madam, or for a while yet Miss, President, on behalf of the Senior Spinsters, I wish to report that, as a class, we have made great strides in the past year. We have had a class dance; several class cases have developed, as, for example, the Dotger- Dill; and now we look forward to the opportunity of Senior Week with keen anticipation. The turn- out at the College Reception was all that could be hoped for; everyone responded nobly, if not with a College man, at least with an outside man in her clutches. I feel sure we demonstrated to the under- classmen at that time the proper manner and meth- ods of coeducation, and I wish to move a vote of thanks to the Faculty fbr arranging the Gym so admirably for the convenience of the fussers. All those in favor ? demands the president, and the shouts of ' ' Aye ! Aye ! ' ' are so loud that the bang of the door, as Sport Fell enters, can scarcely be heard. But the president sees her and inquires, Have you any reasonable excuse for your late- ness? Why, was the confused reply, I was only fussing in the Alcove! (Loud cries of Ex- cused ! That ' s all right ! ' ' from the audience. ) Is there a report from the Junior class? Miss President! Miss Stubbs. The Junior class is not behind the Seniors in 173 this gou(_l work. Our iudividual efforts are mai ' ked. Every evening finds a number of oiir members start- ing for the Library, and to the glory of coeduca- tion I am able to say that they seldom arrive there. At the College Reception the Juniors had all the best corners, and the Junior-Freshman Reception was a great success as well. Then, our Halcyon meetings offer an excellent chance for more coedu- cating. and the girls of the staff are now on inti- mate terms with the male contingent, including the editor (worried look on the face of the president). Fussing in the alcoves and halls increases daily with us, and our only baclavard members are Jean Wil- liamson. Helen Uuderhill and Susanne Willets. Their only excuse for neglect of duty is the lack of available material. Harriet Sheppard and Helen Dillistin have been especially active, and I am proud of our class as a whole. And Stubbie sits down in the midst of a murmur of approval. Miss President. Another speaker is rising. Miss Pentz! Why, I can ' t make out what ' s the matter with our class! They .just won ' t work! The boys are most all taken by girls of other classes (groans) ; and Rodger Gephart ' s taken to going with an out- side girl. We haven ' t any strong class cases since Marge has left, and Ed Cavin won ' t help us a bit. Honestly, Flossie WalJworth and Ros,y are the only ones who are really working, and they won ' t stay in their own class. And Caroline Atkinson did so well last year that she was promoted, and our reception almost went up the spout, and I ' m discouraged.. (Weeping amongst the Sophs. Cries of Shame on you ! ) That isn ' t all the truth! Esther Barnes has risen. I ' m not on the committee, but little Mary and I have been working mighty hard. The whole trouble is on account of that old bachelor club the boys have. Order! calls the president. Will Miss Boyle report for the Freshmen ? ' ' Well, Miss President and Sister Sufferers, I ' ve been working, too, and I don ' t blame the Sophs for being sore and I think it ' s funny the Juniors didn ' t howl about losing some of tlicir men to other classes, too ! We Fresh soon got on to the ways of College, and twelve of us have already been commended by Student Government ; we go over to Scott ' s lots, and we have one awful case, but Elizabeth keeps it pretty dark. Dorothea ' s a fine Avorker, and we all show enthusiasm ! ' ' As Belle sat down, the Freshmen yelled in unison : Co! Co! Coeducate! Fussing early ! Fussing late 1 Crushes, cases, mashes, hxb ! We work hard for the Spinster Chib! 174 ' ' Has Miss IMeeteer anj-thing to say ? ' ' interrogated the president. Yes, I have a word, Dorothy. I think the girls understand my wish to help them. The Wednesday night singing hasn ' t been all it might be, perhaps, but I ' m highly pleased with my teas — Gertrude Tyn- dall hasn ' t missed one, but girls, can ' t you be a little kinder to Jose 1 Then I ' ve given my parlor for coeducating committee meetings, but I would suggest that the Freshmen do not go through this hall late in the evening, as it must annoy the occupants of the back benches. Also, the Library problem has been adequately dealt with, and the boys will not have a separate dining room in Wharton. (Loud applause. Several gentlemen in the gallery forget themselves and join in.) ' ' Thank yon, Miss Meeteer, ' ' said Dorothy. ' ' Now, let us turn the remaining few minutes into an ex- perience meeting. ' ' Several people rise to speak, but Lizzie James is recognized. In my ease, she says, I didn ' t do very well until this year, when, because of Senior and leap- year privileges, I have felt safe in taking the initia- tive. The boys are still a little backward, however. Miss Parry, next. As president of Sti dent Government I ' ve been too generally busy to apply my efforts in the cause to more than one person. But I feel that I have done a great deal in my one especial ease ! ' ' Miss Meeteer! Girls, can ' t you all do something to help the Sophomores? I feel that this movement will be a great success, if they will arouse as much enthu- siasm as the Fresh. That ' s what I think! shouted Little E., ' ' and, I move we make Miss Lukens an honorarj ' member of this Society, because she is so active. ' ' Carried ! ' ' announced the president. ' ' And, ' ' looking at the clock, this meeting of the Sincere Sisterhood of Spinsters stands adjourned until next year. ' ' Elizabeth has scruples against cramming for exams, and announced in emphatic tones when mid-year ' s began: — Well, I, for one, intend to do withoiit a towel til is week if I can ! ' ' Green Freshman: — Miss Bronk, how long have you been in this country ? ' ' Miss Bronk: — Why, about sixteen j ' ears, my dear. (How can one reconcile this with the statement she made the same day, that she had been teaching French half a century?) 175 0 1911 Toward the close of last September, elimbino ' up toward Parrisli Hall Came a group of verdant Freshmen — aged, youthful, short and tall. Jnst the greenest lot of youngsters that you ever hoped to see, And so glaring in their greenness that the Soph ' mores whooped in glee, To the terror of the children, till they scarce knew what to do. Then the Juniors in their wisdom made an admirable rescue. S we Juniors came to help you ; and we think you ' re pretty fine, Though, of course, you ' ll never even hope to rival 1909. You were awful scared of hazing — all you girls looked sad and blue (Read at tlu Junior Reception) As you waited for the Soph ' mores to instruct j ' ou what to do. Oh I the fun was fast and furious, up and down Col- lection Hall, When you pushed match-stems and pennies, or em- braced a tender wall; Next, the very freshest of you had the tunnels to explore; Then i Iiss Dorothea Carter livened things a little more ; She would sing and speak all evening, if they only asked her to — But, as for those dirty tunnels, she refused to hunt them through ! And Elizabeth Macpherson was a dreadful proposi- tion. For quite forcibly, but tirmly, she put Sophs out of commission. The Fresh hoys were perfect ladies! They w-ere easy, that ' s quite sure ! For if once they left the narrow path, they got the water cure. 176 You were clever in class meeting — put your officers right through, So ijou said, though I ' ve a fe eling that it took a week or two  ' Ere you finished your elections, and proclaimed, with shout and yell, That your President was Roberts, Secretary, M. Broomell. Ernie is all to the merry ; but there is one awful rub. For ' tis said his heart, in beating, can say nothing else but Lub! He goes oft to the Library — finds he studies best at nights. And the alcoves are quite cozy, ' neath the bright electric lights. Number Six was Pauline ' s fav ' rite; there contin- ually she hied, With M. Carpenter as chaperone, while she fussed with gallant Clyde. There are Yennie, too, and Artie, who go down there all the time — They say they ' re doing German, but in class they seldom shine. One day, down at the Library, stood a man in lone- some state. The photographer, the Sophs thought; we ' ll just stay around in wait. And break up this Freshman picture. But imagine their amaze ! The man was just a canvasser in wait for Mr. Hayes ! Studying, along with fussing, is too slow for Elsie Cad; Takes the theater to please Jier, now a nice man can be had. Dearie,, hearken to the proverb: Change the name and not the letter, Doth, experience will tell you, change for worse instead of better ! ' ' Soon, the Sophs gave a reception. Hard they worked both night and day, ' Till the staid and big old parlors were aglow with colors gay; There was music, there was laughter, there was joking, there was fun. (In the corners there were fussers ere the stuut had half begun.) Miss Pearl Wagner greeted Middy in a manner bright and sweet, And they talked so hard that evening that they never stopped to eat ! (Keep this news away from Trenton, friends of Middy, I implore; 177 A hiut of it might tend to make one Agnes C. quite sore.) L. laePherson met the dangerous Jesse Roberts, I am told; Nor could she seem to rid herself of his attention bold. But we believe variety is all the spice of life: We hope we prove this maxim true with those she meets to-night. Sam Gutelius is a gallant, Ruth Verlenden does insist, Fcir he brought her up to College through a driving rain and mist, When the heavy wind had turned her poor umbrella inside out. On that very day the ] Iillers put some burglars bold to route. You have heard how Otto Wiekham is so daring and .so bold? Yet he is afraid of burglars, if ' tis true what has been told — How Cain brf)ke through a vindow and climbed up the creaking .stair, Only to fall swiftly downward, when a shot had pierced the air, Then limped slowly back to Wharton, (piite forget- ting Otto ' .s .scare. Percy Smith from overeating was laid up not long ago, But the rations here at Swarthmore make me think that can ' t be so; So the only real solution that can possibly be made Is that Percy must have been involved in that first kitchen raid. Ed Harold lost a sweater then, yet for it did not seek; Strange to say, he left the College, and was gone a whole long week ! Further hack I mentioned Miller. Makes me think of way last Fall, When that zealous ' ' cop ' ' in Chester made so valuable a haul. Doctor Holmes and Harry Miller both were nabbed quite hurriedly; But Harry cried and moaned so loud that they were both set free ! Just as pretty as a picture is the charming Bessie Bew. Abele, the curly-headed, thinks that he ' s good look- ing, too ; So they both, in all the lectures, sit and pose in Gibson way. 178 While the class looks on in envy that grows greener every clay. Dialects and queer expressions all you Freshmen have galore. Miller, there, from Indiana, beats the most a mile or more. K. Witmeyer thinks that Prentiss is an awful bother yet, While seems like to Sara Muxen she will ne ' er her Tod forget. I. B. Jones — now that ' s bad grammar. I. B. didn ' t like it quite. I. Am. Jones, Lee Coble called him ; so tltat matter was put right. You ' re a noisy lot of youngsters! Why, in Glee Club every week, Frances Shields and Florence Smedley make the very rafters creak ; While Ed Baker has been up before Exec. ' bout twice a week For not making Edna Passmore be more (piiet and more meek. And Tubby Nehls was once compelled to wear a tennis shoe. Because he trod so heavy as he walked the hallways through. Up in Trenton, Mabel AVhitehead is much kinder, J though, by far. Hate to tell your secret, Mabel. Never mind; your Tubby ' s thar! Thar makes me think of old Detroit, and of Salomy Jane, Whose intricate new barn-dance has won for her much fame. As a class, though, 1911, we think that you will do If, ere you grow much older, you will change a thing or two. By the time that Crum grows tall and i Iama Hoopes some height does spare. And her Perky drops that frightened and that un- assured stare; By the time that her affinity stops fussing Leila E., And Beth Hal lock does forever quit her winking at John P.; When Pitcher is a greasy grind as well as Thomas Hall; When you ' ve gotten your class banner, and a team to play baseball — Tlicii doff your little caps of red (your green will then be gone). And render humble thanks because Naught Nine has helped you on ! 179 THE COLLECCZOO SeconD IRcport of Cbicf IReepcr tirottcr Coutimiing the statement of species, variety, common name, habitat and description of the numerous valuable, and in many cases rare, specimens found within the range of tlie two hundred and thirty acres.

They soon realized that the flagons of oxydat- ing liquid and English-made hair- pins would bring but temporary re- lief from their swarthy country- mates. Hence it was that instruc- tion was legally adopted as a means of subjugating the savage. Friendly democracy demanded that their own offspring should drink at the common fount of knowledge and mingle with the natives in such excellent pursuit. Thence the existence of this, oixr great Quaker college. ' Twas indeed a glorious morning when, in the ancient days of the early sixties, the spirit moved no less a person than Friend Hallowell. He care- fully disencumbered himself of his flintlock and rose in his stall and spake unto the meeting of the diminu- tive borough of Baltimore in comforting words. He proposed that methods be considered by which the ferocious inroads of the redskins be stopped. He expanded at length on the depredations made upon certain respectable inhabitants of Westdale in Friend William ' s state. He went so far as to name two of the sufferers from these raids, to wit. Friend Tarnall and Patrick of the Crossways. Yea, he even vouch- safed to offer a remedy for these distressing wrongs in no less wise than by a motion that a seat of higher education be installed and located at the aforesaid Westdale. Friend Martha Tyson sec- onded this vociferously, and an unfortunate occur- rence then broke up the session. The intoxicating 191 perfiune of some fragrant peace pipes was wafted through the windows, causing the one half of the meeting to long to join their backsliding friends, the Injuns, for the sake of peace. Herewith the func- tion was promptly shaken off. Nevertheless a committee was im- paneled, and, by a strenuous can- vassing, it finally succeeded in enlisting the hearts and purses of many friends in the chari- table cause of ye Yarnalls and Patrick. In ' 6-i, the committee, having gathered in a required mound of wampum, waited upon his honor, the forerunner of the celestial Pennypacker, and skillfully drew his limb for a solemn and redundant .Spirit Moves Friend H. charter. The greatest fall- down of this said charter is that it i rovides for a coeducational institution and allows women, maiden or married, to act on the Board of Managers. !Many are the friends who have appropriated the honor of having originated the name of the College. The careful perusal of voluminous data leads the weary explorer to concl Kle that Margaret, the be- loved wife and helpmeet of the aforementioned Ben- jamin Hallowell, was to blame; but as one Martha Tyson, also aforementioned, is on record as claim- ing the invention, and otherwise it might appear too much of a family affair, we ' 11 give her the credit. But there were numerous sugges- tions at the time, and one ingenious friend, gifted with an eye to the future, urged the name ' ' liaberdashertown, be- cause it would rhyme so nicely with touchdown, and at the same time would show proper spirit toward the friends of the would-be college. In spite of opposition, the present name was run through ; and a few weeks after, George Fox began his summer house, which he named Swarthmore to show his good will toward the new college. The site was next selected. Of course, the original purpose of protection for the honest West- dalers against the Indians was not lost sight of. The substantial edi- fice where little Benny West used to play seemed a good begining. This location had many advantages. The Chester trolley would supply wmm .SWMTH ■ ' 192 the weary students with excellent transportation facil- ities; the refreshing Crum would be easy of access for fractious Freshmen ; and, best of all, Ye Lamb ' s Tavern was within a salubrious half- hour ' s walk. These points and many more took prom- inent positions in the versatile minds of our founders. Uppermost in their ' ' thinkers, ho w- ever, was the idea of uniting the healthful life of the country and the multitudinous advantages of a me- tropolis by locating the College within easy reach of each. All must agree that success has crowned their efforts. Regard the busy life of the city about us — all its boons are ours. A lecture at True Reformer ' s Hall, a military hop at the Strath Haven Inn on the Crum, an address on the suffrage issue at the Woman ' s Club, an informal reception at Victors ' , a canoe carnival on the creek, a banquet at Booth ' s, an erudite ha- rangue by Mr. Ruth, H. C, or a general good time at Ye Merry Robin — such are the manifold ad- vantages of living in a city. Suppose ovirselves weary of such a strenuous program but ten miles east, and we can enjoy the delights of the country. Here we can find the most beautiful rural landscape. A doze on Chestnut Street or, if the weather per- mits, a dip in the transparent Schuylkill. If we are of a solitarj ' disposition a stroll in fair L ' Aiglon park, amidst the beauties of nature, may attract us. Appreciation of the choice of our locaters has caused a lo ng digression. The same memorable year witnessed also the ap- pointment of the first president. The responsibility of setting a precedent devolved upon one Edward Parrish. He ably filled the chair for the first seven years of the College ' s long infancy. His charge was a difficult one. It cried continuously, and required nourishment and support with limitless voracity. ' Tis said Prexy Par- rish found it his most arduous task to find playthings for his ward, the procuring of students naturally being of vital im- portance to the con- tinuance of its ex- istence. In the Spring of ' 66, when returning from a late gathering, Prexy Parrish stumbled into a fissure in the uneven ground of the campus. He fell in. His resting place upon 193 later investigation proved tt) be some aboriginal cata- t ' omh. This little incident determined the president to build the first College building over these sub- terranean p a s- ' - ' - r i vC ' ' -v. - 0 ' M tions. sages, to avoid the expense of elevat- ors and hallways to connect the dif- y ferent sections. These ancient alleys have been ' T A blessed by all the following genera- hrei ' d worms for the Freshman girls, and food and good fellowship for the hungry boys. In ' 81, a remarkable fact was demonstrated. A conflagration raged in Parrish Hall. In the early iiiornin r the inmates were aroused and hustled out. The heroic males made many thrilling rescues. The S. C. Fii-e Brigade crowned itself with laurels in lieapinu- coals upon the fire. Everything was lost except the husky walls and one lone section. Which was it? Of course, the Friends ' Historical Library. It was too dry to burn. .Strange to say, this calamity had revivifying effects. Its influence has been very beneficial to the r ' olli ' L ' e. During the period of resurrection of the building, the College adjourned to Media, which has ever since scored as a university city. Besides, we have The PhcBnix, which only molts in the Halcyon days. Coeducation has ever been the boast of Swarth- more. It was provided for in the original charter. The Indians used to poke fun at it, and the students to-day put up with it with varying success. As all commodities have some little advertising quip, such as Ninety-nine and forty-four one hundredths per cent, pure and What ' s in a box? we find Col- lege life in a home setting stamped on everj thing. And to make this possible we have coeducation. Physical training was introduced as early as ' 71. The ex- igent need of protection against the natives was, of course, the cause of the move. Courses of six to eight years were then arranged for the convenience of these necessities, and we all are .jixstly proud of the records of our McGaf- ferties and O ' Tooles. Our unusual facilities enable us to put out a veribest brand of footl)all team. This is partially financed by the College advei ' tising 3 194 department. The student body regularly gets out to cheer this product on to an easy victory in the games that our enthusiastic alumni schedule. No college which has survived four j-ears has been •without alumni. Swarthmore is wonderfully for- tunate in her sons and daughters. These dutiful children manifest their affection for their mater in varioiis ways. The wealthy ones shell out when Prexy gets going, and they all make a record for themselves and their College. Surely, next to the Faculty and football, the alumni do the greatest good for us who some day hope to join the sainted bunch and try our hand at being loyal kids. The meal is not ended — There ' s a burst of applause ; Here comes a man running — What on earth is the cause? His hand on his collar, All conscious his face — Eight and left he regards us. And quickens his pace. Is it because he ' s in training That Coble should try To beat Baker at racing? Oh! he ' s forgotten his tie!

They led The Simple Life. Among this happy tribe was a family ycleped West. In the year 1738, Benjamin was born when liut a .small child. The Crum(b) diet agreed with the boy and he flourished, like a Rose in Bloom. One day, at the discreet age of six, when he had to mind one of Helen ' s Babies. who was happy in Dreamland, he drew The Little Cherub. This was the beginning of his fame. The Squaw Man and Tattooed Man (for The Red Men were as thick as The Blue Flower and The Red Cardinal in the field and Sesame and Lilies in the L ' ardenj taught the child to make colors. And from the tail of Grimalkin, The Black Cat, he fashioned brushes. He had such Talent, The Quakers passed the decree that he should pursue the study of art in the Quaker City. While there, he met his lady love, Eliza- beth Shewell, but it proved to be A Checkered Love Affair, for her brother was too truly one of The Matchmakers to give His Sister to one of The Workers, so he kept her Walled In. Then he left Philly, and while In Old ew York, Benjamin decided to try his luck in llie Wide, Wide World. Hence, in ITGO, after having been Rocked in the Cradle of for Three Weeks, he landed at Rome, where he had a royal reception. He visited many places in southern Italy and Sicily and especially enjoyed the Mornings in Florence. After three years 196 of study he went to France by the Main Traveled Roads. ' ' He visited the battleground where Napoleon and the Soldiers of Fortune had but A Fight- ing Chance. Then on to England he journeyed, after having been entertained by Tlie Proud Prince and The Lady of Quality at Three Normandie Inns. Soon after landing on Red Rock, he met The Roger Brothers in London. Then he became one of the five hundred ajid shared The Common Lot of The People of the Whirlpool. Although at this time Knighthood Was in Flower, he de- clined the honors of a knight offered by George III. Now that The Wheel of Fortune had turned and Circumstances were more favorable, West ' s thoughts turned to An Old Sweetheart of Mine, and he oft pondered o ' er Her Picture. And Lady Betty became The Daughter of Despera- tion because of that Ruling Passion, Love. So she plotted her escape. The Mascjuerade r, a friend, with Edged Tools fastened a Ladder of Swords (or was it of rope?), by which she de- scended from The Open Shutter, and In the Gloaming boarded one of the Ships That Pass in the Night. Thus she was Kidnaped and her Guardian Angel left her to solve The Mystery and Great Secret. She landed on Black Rock at Liverpool, Friday the Thirteenth, where Ben was Waiting, Fondly Waiting. He said, Love Me and the World Is Mine, and the consequences were, they went to The Little Cln reh Around the Corner and were married by The Little Minister. Then, softly, like The Breath of the Gods, he whispered, My Wife. Thus ended The Court- ship of a Careful Man. The artist won celebrity by his paintings, among which was The Portrait of a Lady. He was also elected as the successor of Joshua Reynolds, The Grand Mo gul of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in London. Although he often thought of The Old Home- stead and Plome, Sweet Home, he had a Heart Courageous and said to Plis Honor, the Mayor, as well as to Mr. Dooley, who were Homeward Bound, Good-by, John, Give My Regards to Broadway and The Old Folks at Home, and con- tinued to enjoy life in Merrie England.

Alumni Editor: Herman Holmes. Athletics: Bobbie Brooks. On belialf of Swarthmoreans, past and present, the editor takes this opportunity of congratulating Frederick M. Simons, ' 119, Vjecause of the brilliant way he has conducted the Burr- Mcintosh Magazine, of which he has been editor but two years. The impress he made on our magazine, as our editor, is still felt to an extensive degree. It is doubtless due to the fact that he gained such valuable experience while in College in running a paper with almost no reading matter, that he owes his present success. Indeed, within the short time that he has held his present position he has reduced the reading matter of Eurr-McTntosh to i)ractically nil! He has depended, with an unerring instinct, on a remarkable series of pictures, photos and drawings, and to these is due the extraordinary success of his magazine. For a busy editor, nothing is so exasjjerating as the con- stant, unanswered ringing of the ' phone bell. The very monotony of this has worked on our nerves imtil we find ourselves able to write no sensible editorials, but only such stuff as: The unremitting ringing of that bell! Insistent bell ! What a tale of inattention does its ceaseless whirring tell ! For it rings, rings, rings. Thro ' the silent air of night: And it rings with main and might From the dawning of the morning till the early evening light In a clamorous appealing To that person all-unfeeling Who don ' t answer, and won ' t answer, the poor bell! Tlie ilospcrate, expostulating, tireless ' phone bell ! 198 Harris!) i|aU Jfortp Hears Hater A coi-pulent gentleman alighted from the train. He gave his gray whiskers a nervous jerk and, draw- ing from his pocket a purple handkerchief, began to mop his flushed cheeks and forehead.. Two students. as they strolled by, read the name N. Ash printed on a new suit case which the gentleman carried. That ' s the old sport who got so ' jugged ' at the Akmmi Banquet last night, remarked one. He ' s due to speak in meeting this morning, too, said the other. Let ' s slip in after hymns are over, and smoke a pipe or two on the back bench, where we can hear him. Mr. Ash did not know the place; he could not see the College for the dense foliage of the oaks. But he started in an uncertain gait up what he thought to be the Asphaltum. It ' s darn strange ! I don ' t seem to recollect these roads, he said to himself, as he swung his gold- headed cane up Chester Road. He hailed a boy. Young feller, are you acquainted with these parts? I ' ve just come from the Nevada gold fields, and haven ' t been here for forty years. He had the air about him of a patronizing philanthropist. Freshman at the College, huh? Well, I used to go here myself when I was a boy. What ' s your name? Alford— Newell Gilder Alford, Jr.? Well! Let me see — I shouldn ' t wonder if I knew your father — 1909, you say? Yes, I remember him well. In those days we had to walk around with the girls (like that fellow is doing) on the sly, if we did it 199 ;if all. ' lie was heginuing to reminisce. Bless my soul, if that very girl doesn ' t look the image of a young lady I reeall who was here wheu I was I iliss leDonough; yon say ? Let me see. Ha ! Ha ! Ila! Well. I declare! ■ Well. I ' m astounded at these changes! That ' s the old Liln-ary over there, I suppose, where the chimes are coming from. All ivv-covered now, I see. What ' s that lioard fence doing therel Benjamin West House, you say? Oh, yes! Whoever got the idea of charging twenty-five cents to see that old shell of a cabin . ' Ex-President Swain ' s way of gath- ering revenue? Yon don ' t say! Ah, certainly. I remember his capacities now. By this time they had reached the corner of Chester Road and College Avenue. The blear-eyed old man the while had been bombarding the un- shaven Freshman with such a fire of questions that the latter had been unable to break loose to fill an engagement that he had at the pool tables. And that ' s Cunningham Field, is it? And how many thousands did you say those grand stands will hold? Ten thousand? Ten thousand people watch- ing a girls ' shinny game? What! Football!! Girls play football ? And that ' s their training house, huh ? Well, I ' ll be ! How things have changed! Look up there, young feller. You don ' t mean to tell me that Susan J. Cunningham ' s old house has been turned into a Dutch kitchen? Let ' s go in and look around. He dragged the Freshman through the swinging doors. Fifteen minutes later, 200 Mr. Ash was walking by Somerville Hall, agam mop- ping his forehead and questioning young Alford. So they only use it as a dance hall now, huh? he said, pointing his cane toward Somerville Hall, We never — How does thee do, friend Ely? he said, shaking a trembling hand extended toward him. (Mr. Ely ' s head was as hairless as a pink billiard ball and almost as shiny.) I ' ll see thee again at meeting, I trust, he added, completing the hand- grip with a reception-committee shove. The two now walked in front of Parrish Hall, and Mr. Ash found it to be very similar to the picture which he had formed forty years earlier. However, on the inside he was completely lost. No Pet, no halls, no onion fumes — Sunday morning, and no onion fumes ! The building had been deepened, and the ceiling made higher. It was no longer used as a dormitory, but as a museum. Well, said the old man, recovering, where are the classrooms and the like now? In separate de- partmental buildings? And scattered all over the hill! Most of them along the Crum — Look here, yoi ng man, ' ' warned Mr. Ash, reaching toward his hip pocket, don ' t you take advantage of me. Then they strolled out to prove Alford, Jr. ' s, honor. Young feller, there used to be a wood all through here when I was a boy. But tell me, what started this department building business ? Thirty years ago, huh? When Prof. Bronk had a fight with Dr. Field? You don ' t say! And of what was Dr. Field pro- fessor? Post-graduate courses in Ethics and Moral Training ! Indeed ! And Dr. Brooks got a separate building next? Why? Ah, yes, I suspect that he 201 did become witli I see. Mr. Ash irritnlile in his old age— hard to get along seemed tremendoi sly pleased with the Fresliman ' s laiiirliter, he lesslv fi J rr( aecoiint, and finally, in a fit of uproarious ■ iiroduoed a handful of nuggets and eare- d it intii ' oinin ' Aifiird ' s pocket. ' Phcy inspected Whittier Field next, and found there con- crete grand stands which Avould hold fifty thousand people. But, sonny, what game does Swarthmore play which brings fifty thousand spectators? You don ' t mean that the Swarthmore team stands, in its final game, a picked team from all the large universities ' ' Well, I ' ll be ! Where do you get such excellent men? Raise them, you say? Raise them? Yes, in- deed; I Avould like to go through the nursery, or whatever you call it. Young Alf ord then took Mr. Ash to a large farm (with extravagant buildings) located north of Whit- tier Field. There he explained the processes on trial for making football wonders. Some charges were very young, and some quite old. Some were eating the popular brands of baby food, and some were devouring Dr. Harry O ' Brien ' s Patent Food for Athletes. Some were asleep with a football for a pillow, and some were asleep with a football tucked in their arms. And there were unnumbered other contraptions of like purpose. Friend Krueger, I am glad to meet thee, said Ir. Ash, as he quailed beneath the hearty grasp of the head trainer. Thee ' s just as strong as when thee cooked Penn ' s goose for her in 1906; and just as Dutch as when thee was a Deutscher Verein mem- ber. Time to give Dave Rowlands, 3d, the thirty- 202 second degree, did thee say? Certainly, I ' ll excuse thee. Good day. ' ' Almost time for meeting, too, is it ? ' ' He turned, answering young Alford ' s weary suggestion. Well, will we have time to stop at Sue Cunningham ' s Dutch kitchen again before meeting begins? So, dodging from Whittier Field, around the Rodger Gephart Building (for homesick students), passing in front of the College Garage (a large stone structure), and finally through Dean Anna Camp- bell ' s old-fashioned garden, Mr. Ash was at last led to the place of refreshment. Upon entering, his eye again caught the sign on the wall: Treat others, as thee would have others treat thee. ' ' Everybody up, shouted Mr. Ash, with the old Nevada spirit. But at the third round, Alford, Jr., sneaked ou.t and ran like a horse which had been fed on gunpowder and eggs. Three quarters of an hour later meeting was in session. And as the organist played, Lead, Kindly Light, Mr. Ash ' s eye filled with tears, and he was obliged to produce the purple handkerchief. The plaintive lingering on the notes and the spasmodic hintings of an aspiring tenor both were as evident as they used to be on Sunday evenings in 1908 and 1909. He read the program handed him at the door. ' ' ' Miss PoUitt, organist. ' Ah, yes ! he muttered to himself. He stared at the wall in front of him. Smoking allowed on the last three benches, met his gaze. Well, I ' ll be — ! he breathed, and returned to in- specting the program. ' The Hon. Lee Coble, Address on Democracy. Mrs. Edward Harold, on Home, the Realm of the College Girl. ' And next he saw his own name as the final number. ]Mr. Norman Ash, on ' The Prohibition Movement in the West. ' Then his eyelids became tearful and heavy. Fif- teen minutes later he delivered one of the most eloquent discourses on the liquor question ever heard within the Meeting-house walls. His bearded chin was pillowed on his fla.shy shirt front, his arms were folded, and he leaned heavily to the right on friend Ely. Freciuent elbowings only served to arouse deeper and deeper tones. Norman Ash was hopelessly inebriated in meeting. 203 iHemoirs of a Coeb. Third Day at College. — Gee! What a rum place! I wish I were back in old Kentnck ! Nothing ' to eat ; nothing to sleep on : and no peace from the girls butting: in with their How are you getting along? ' I told that plump girl with straight, light hair and small gray eyes that I could get along without her assistance or anybody else ' s; that I have spent five years at a boarding school, and feel that I can manage ray own affairs without anybody making them a business of theirs. There has not been one of her bunch in my room since. I wish my roommate would take that board away from her back; and rub her neck with Omega Oil so that she could move her red head a little. She sure is scared of me ! She heard me tell Miss Mitch- ner what to do when I caught her (Miss M.) tear- ing down my pictures (because I had tacks in the wall) ! I am still sitting at the table which the blond creature got for me two days ago. This morning one of the hoys said he did not believe I coidd laugh, and that he was going to prove it. Well, he told me a .joke that proved all he wanted. I guess maybe I expressed what I thought of him. lie has not opened his mouth to me since, and he had better not, either ! I ' m getting almost desperate. Ugh! There goes that light-haired Junior again, running down the hall, answering his whistle! Desperate! Lord! If I were only a boy, I bet some of those fresh Sophs would r est in the hospital ! Third. Week at College. — Had a slick automobile ride this afternoon with a bunch of old girls and a few Freshmen. We stopped at some house for din- ner, and had a di)iner, sure enough — thick-tomato sonp, capon, ice cream, candy, nuts, and I don ' t know what all ! The fair Junior and I had quite a conflab coming home ; and she told me about her conquests made last summer at Seaside Park. There was a sweet little Freshman with us, who was fussed to death when we passed a tlock of sheep and a few lambs. I ' m afraid that she has contracted the al- cove fever. The stout Freshman was with us, too. •Lord! What a talker! She started on Christian Science, woman ' s suffrage, temperance, and planta- tion life, and finislied on little Eddie. At the footliall game yesterday, I was sure that the large, light-haired Senior girl was going to .jump 204 out of the grand stand and help our fullback hit Penn ' s line. If spirit counts, she won that game for us. She seems to be suffering severely from the alcove fever (contracted some years ago, so gossip prattles). This fever looks as if it were almost an epidemic. There is that cute little Senior g-jrl who looks like a brownie and who juggles no less than three strings successfully. To one string is attached a tall, thin relay and distance runner ; to another, a short, half- bald quarter-miler (he would not admit it) ; and to the third, a basketball forward. There are those two short Seniors with dark hair and eyes, who can be seen twenty times a day earnestly exchanging con- fidences, scrapping, making up, and exchanging more confidences. There are plenty of others who really have the alcove fever ; and there are still more who think they have it; and still others who wish that they could contract it. It makes me tired ! Last evening, at a lecture, I met that boy with black, curly hair and a dirty face. He ' s a Fresh- man, too. Seems pretty nice — worth a look into. Third Month at College. — Just got home from Keith ' s. I ' m beginning to like that boy more and more — he has got such an entertaining line of jokes. But his laugh is the funniest ! It is more like a snore than anything else. I am going to a dance at Media to-night with the same crowd of girls that took a few of us Freshmen to the theater last week, on a house party the Saturday before, and on an auto trip at the beginning of college. They certainly show us a good time ! My fellow is going to the dance to-night, too ! At the reception last evening I talked for an hour or more with that yellow-headed Freshman whom everyone calls crazy. He told me about his stunts as a member of the Crazed Order of B. B. B., and also about his trip to Paris. I don ' t care if he does wear loud socks and go swimming in the Crum this time of year — he ' s got a lot more sense than some of the ones who call him crazy. Third Semester at College. — Just got back from shooting pool all afternoon. We had a serious talk and found out that we reall.y do care a lot for each other. It certainly is nice to have him at our table this year ! If it were not for that we would not see much of each other, because he is working so hard on Tlie Phoenix. We had a fine time at Secane yes- terday afternoon — we walked all of the way back to College. This Sunday we are going to get off of the train at Clifton and walk to Swarth- more. I wish that some more skating would come, so that we could go to Ridley Park again, as we did last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Third Year at College.— !!???!!! 205 S stands for Soup.

As your ej ' es now trace these letters. So your lips repeat his name ; And I know, gentle reader, That our thoughts are just the same. You are thinking now of schooldays, Of the banquet and the dance, Of the years you spent at Swarthmore, And their happiness, perchance. Jack was roguish in those days. But his heart was pure and good (This I must repeat, my reader. Though I know it ' s understood). Yes, you like to hear it over — And you love me all the more, As I hold communion with you In the memory of Swarthmore. Turn my leaves and find his picture.

True, we lost two games — one to Pennsylvania and one to Cornell; but in those teams we met adversaries who had no sui)eriors in East or West, and although we are reluctant to admit that we were outplayed, still out of such defeats comes only victory for Swarthmore when the team plays as it did during the season just past. The climax of the season was reached when we met and defeated the Navy by an eighteen-to-nothing score. AVe were fortunate in that no injuries of a serious nature were received by any of the players, thus to mar a successful season. 210 toartfjmore College jFoottiaU l eam Season, 1907 Herman F.

But why not ? Not because the fighting quality of the players was any lower; not liecause there was not good material in College ; but rather because those undergraduates who of necessity must be called upon to fill the places of the departed veterans failed to respond to the call. It is difficult to incorporate in this volume of good will and harmony anything bordering on the knock. But the writer cannot refrain from say- ing that if one half of the energy which is now being exerted to kill lacrosse and install basel)all were di- rected toward lacrosse, ftwarthmore would have a team second to NONE. The outlook for 1908 is good, but it would be better if the team had the unqualified support of the student body. 217 Hatvo t cljebule, 1907 s. Philadelphia Lacrosse Club . . 6 Harvard 6 Crescent C.

Krueger lirolce the 1 intercollegiate record in the shot-put, and the relay team won many victories. As a result of the successful season the Intercollegiate Committee has moved Swarthmore up the ladder, and we will now have to compete with the largest universities and colleges, instead of the middle class. This speaks for itself. With nearly all of the old-team men bade, the 1008 season should he a record ma leer. 220 toarttmore bs. i abp at annapoUs, iftO.
