Preface HIS book, which we are now about to present to the public, is the work of a limited amount T of time. All copy was prepared, photographs taken, engravings made, and the book went to press in a little over three weeks after the first work was begun. Many times during the vear there had been desultory talk of getting out a class annual, but no real step toward this end was taken. Only one class annual has ever before heen issued at Delaware College, amd that one was published by the class of 'gg. It was not until we returned from our Easter vacation that we awoke to the fact that if anything was to be done, it must be done quickly. A few days after returning we had a class meeting, and elected two Dusiness Managers and an Editor-in-Chief, who was authorized to ap- point four Associate Editors. As a matter of course, there were several pessimists in the class who said we could not possibly get out a book in so short a time, and that it was usless to at- tempt so great an undertaking., Others were indifferent, and said it was all right if we thouzht we could do it, but they were afraid they couldn't help much. Yet, there were a few determined minds in the class, and, naturally, these prevailed, Whether it would have been better to have abandoned the idea of issuing a class annual than to put out the one we now present to the public, we will leave our friends and others, before whose notice the book may come, to decide. Had we begun work when we should, we un- doubtedly would have a much better book to represent our class, Yel we offer no excuses or apologies for our act of procrastination, We ask yvou to accept the book for what it is, and, when glancing through it, to remain conscious of the fact that it is a class annual issusd by students who have vet another year before them to learn to realize the serious side of things hefore they begin their life's work., If it deserves harsh criticism we will meekly submit, and think no one unkind for pointing out to us our errors. Should the book be received favorably by our friends, it will thrill us with satisfaction and pleasure to think that our time and efforts have not heen spent in vain, and it will be an aclieve- ment upon which our class will always look with pride. For the few who have worked so hard and faithfully, it may be truly said that the book has absorbed a part of the very life and soul, and how dear to our hearts we hold it, is known by none but us. To those who have so kindly assisted us in this work, both materially and with their good wishes, to our classmates, to students of other classes, and to our friends outside the College, we give our most sincere and hearty thanks. May we sometime have the privilege to Tepay the kindness. THE EDITORS. College Calendar Fall Term.

FRONT VIEW OF CAMPUS, A Glimpse of Our History ELAWARE COLLEGE is situated at Newark, a guiet, well-ordered, and hospitable vil- D lage of fifteen hundred inhabitants in the northwestern part of the State. Newark is connected with Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington by the Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, and there are few points in Delaware or in the Peninsular countics of Marvland distant from the village more than four hours by rail. The region about Newark 1s one of the most healthful and beauntiful on the Atlantic slope. The site of the Col- lege, near the center of the town, iz one of unusual charm. The village has a supply of excel- lent water and is lighted by electricity. Delaware College was chartered in 1833 by Act of the Delaware Legislature, and the doors of the College were first opened to students in May of the following year. The College had been doing for a quarter of a century an important work, not only for Delaware, but as well for neighboring parts of Fennsylvania and Marvland, when by a succession of misfortunes, she was forced in the spring of 1859 to close her doors, Eleven vears later the College was resuscitated, having meanwhile been designated by Act of the Delaware Legislature as beneficiary under the Act of Congress apportioning to each of the several States large areas of public lands to form the basis of endowments for Colleges es- pecially devoted to the teaching of Agriculture and the Mechanie Arts, and Military Tactics. This Act of Congress, commonly known as the Morrill Bill, from its originator, Senator Mor- rill, of Vermont, declares that the Colleges made beneficiary under its provisions shall have as their leading object, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including Mili- tary Tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts jn grder to promote the liberal and practical education of the induostrial classes in the several pursnits and professions of life. In comsideration of the designation and establishment of Delaware College as the institution to be provided by the State of Delaware in accordance with the provisions of the Act of Congress in question, a joint and equal interest in the grounds, buildings, libraries and vested funds of the College proper was conveyed fo the State of Delaware, and equal representation upon the Board of Trustees was given the State. The full Board of Trustees consists of fifteen members, representing the original Board, and fifteen members on the part of the State appointed by the Governor, five from each of the three counties. The Governor of the State and the President of the College are members es- officio. In 1888, by Act of the Delaware Legislature, the Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station was established in connection with the College under the provisions of an Act of Con- gress approved March 2d, 1887, commonly known as the Hatch Bill, appropriating $15,000 annually for the purpose of acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States use- ful and practical information on subjects connected with agriculture and to promote scientific in- vestigation and experiment respecting the principles and applications of Agricultural Science un- der direction of the College or Colleges established in each of the States and Territories in ac- cordance with the provisions of the Morrill Bill. Delaware College is beneficiary also under a further Act of Congress, known as the New Morrill Bill, approved August zoth, 18go, which appropriated for the year then current $15,- 000 to each State for the Land Grant Colleges and provided for the increase of the appro- priation by $1,000 each vear until it should reach $25,000 a year. Delaware College receives an- nually four-fifths of this appropriation, one-fifth, in accordance with the provisions of the bill, being applied to the maintenance and support of the College at Dover for the education of col- ored students. i The appropriations provided for in this Act are to be applied to instruction in Agriculture, the Mechanic Arts, the English Language and the various branches of mathematical, physical, natural and economic sciences with special reference to their applications in the industries of life, and to the facilities for such instruction. Stimulated by the increased income provided by this last Act, Delaware College has, within the past few vears, enlarged her corps of instructors and greatly increased her equipment of ap- paratus and appliances, so that she is now vastly better able than ever before in her whole his- tory to perform her appointed duty. The buildings of the College, situated in an ample and beautiful campus, shaded by trees as old as the institution itself, consist of the recently improved Dormitory, a large brick struc- ture originally the sole College building for all purposes, and still occupied, not only for lodgings, 16 N oy but also for laboratories, the old library, the literary societies and recitation rooms: Recitation Hall, a handsome brick building erected by the State in 1807 ; the Wood-working and Machine Shop, where are housed machinery and apparatus for a thorough practical course of instruction in the mechanic arts; and the Gymnasium and Drill Hall, which is amply equipped for in-door phvsical exercise. The Experiment Station occupies a building on the College grounds, which contains offices, libraries and laboratories of the station workers, The Station has also a green-house, with labo- ratory adjoining, in the rear campus, and several buildings used for storage and other purposes in the conduct of the various lines of experimental work. A considerable part of the rear campus is occupied as an athletic field, which affords excel- lent facilities for out-door sports and games, The College buildings are heated by steam and are supplied with water by the town water works. The sum of $25.000, appropriated by the Delaware Legislature in the year 1g9o1 for build- ing and repairs at Delaware College, was expended mainly in repairing and enlarging the Dor- mitory, The building was replastered throughout, and the floors were made secure by the intro- duction of new timbers, The sleeping rooms were made comfortable and attractive, and the Oratory was remodeled and redecorated so that it is now one of the handsomest auditorinms in the State. New fronts, corresponding in styvle with the doric portico of the main entrance, were placed on the wings, and at right angles to the wings and parallel to the main structure were built three-story extensions, These improvements have increased the number of sleeping rooms, and furnished handsome apartments for recitation rooms and laboratories, Tuition is free to all students from the State of Delaware, and the College thus constitutes a part of our svstem of free public instruction. She places within reacli of the voung men of the State a thorongh collegiate training with no other cost than that of living and the provision of necessary books, and a few inconsiderable fees to cover expenses incurred by the institution, Her work is Jaid out upon broad lines, and the eculture of liberal learning and the practical use- fulness of the applied sciences are equally emphasized in her scheme of eduocation. While, in pursuance of the special aims of her organization, stress is laid upon those departments which build up good citizenship and useful manhood, the place so wisely provided in the foundation of the Land Grant Collezes ig given to the refining graces and amenities of the older learning. 5ENMR.

N e N B R e s R R R s .H:-lrrington, Del, History of the Senior Class HE class of 1903! We hesitate to undertake the task of writing its history, for the class has done so much that any account of its doings is a stupendous task. We begin it with all reverence. It was not until the fall of 1899 that we gathered together as a class, but for years before the schools of near and far had been preparing their highest scholars for the supreme moment when they should matriculate at Delaware College. Having matriculated satisfactorily to all, we grasped the fact that there was an actual body called the Freshman Class. If we had not, the Sophomaores would have soon impressed it upon us. Of course, we all came with high ideals of honor and scholarship to live up to, except Lockwood. He says: Ideals, nothing! T had my eye peeled for the Soph. They say that we should give the devil his due. The Sophomare Class, although smaller in numbers, did not hesitate to attack us, and on the Gym. porch we, unorganized and frightened, repulsed them with fearful loss. The fact of having won our first fight gave us courage, and urged on by the Seniors, we boldly attacked a class meeting of the Sophomores in the Assembly Room, where they were debating how to annihilate us. This fight resulted satisfactorily to us also, and with this we stopped fighting for the remainder of the year, except for occasional little hazings and skirmishes. We joined all the societies, associations and teams that we could, and displayed an unusual amount of College spirit. Out of the twenty-nine men in our class, we had one on the Varsity foot ball team, one substitute and four on the scrub. We studied hard, and also painted our numerals in all sorts of hitherto impossible places, just to let people know we were still around. When we returned for our Sophomore year changes had taken place in our enrollment, Rocky Davis, Charcoal Ponder and Quillen dropped out to enter business life: one d back from the class above, in which he showed his great good sense, and one entered the class, mak- ing our number twenty-eight. The Freshman Class of that vear outnumbered us, but realizing our duty, we conscientiously ducked every Freshman we could find under the shower-bath, which had just been installed. After drill one afterncon we essayed to prevent them from returning to their rooms, and held them back until one member of the Board of Trustees, who always carries weight, helped the Freshmen out. Out of respect for him, we drew back. A few days later, on the steps of Recitation Hall, we beat both the Freshman and Junior Classes. It was during this fight that Mary Prouse, 'z, the co-educational side of College life, was used as a rag to wipe off the steps by Matt. Kyle, That was the time, also, that Gus Smith tore up Hux' and threw him all around. During this vear Captain Avis took us flying through Spherical Trig and Calculus, and Doc. Walf introduced us to Chemistry. From such as these, good Lord, deliver us! It was during the spring of that year that we showed the stufl we were made of. Absolutely inexperienced, and having oh precedents, we organized and earried through successfully the first field meet Delaware College had ever held, It was a tremendous work and a great success, and only our skill and perseverance brought it through with credit to both College and the class. We cannot enumerate all of the achievements r.-f our Junior vear, Let us mention a few: A great improvement in the Delaware College Reviese; a splendid base ball team, brought up by the untiring efforts of King Ben; a Mask and U. lg Club, which gave a good show, made quite a sum of money, and gave a crowd of twe nty-nine fellows a fine trip down State, besides advertising the College well; ahush! breathe it gently and see if any of the faculty are looking -a sfpike. Hurry up and turn the page over, This vear Hab Housey and Cleo left us for good, and Del plaved base ball so well that he was called to other climes. In our Senior year numerically we stayed serene. We have kept everything going that we started in our lower classes. This year, largely through the efforts of Sam Sawin, we adopted the new and vastly better system of Athletic Association dues, which is now in force. Buck Wharton has captained the foot ball team to victories. Dhtton manages the base hall team in a very creditable manner. Through the efforts of several of our class the Mask and Wig Club has had another delightful trip down State and to Wilmington, Bill Constable runs the Keviewt, The battalion is drilling magnificently under the commissioned officers, all of whom are from the Senior Class, The Y. M. C. A, under the leadership of the Rev. J. Harry, or Mitch, as he is some- times disrespectfully called, has completely revived. Before he took hold it was a disgrace 1o the Uollege and to the name. Now it is one of the strongest institutions of our College life. The Delta Thi Literary Society nearly died out at one time, and, without hoasting, we may say the Senior Class brought it back to life again, and now it is as strong as ever, and stronger than it has been since we entered here. Especially do we hate to leave this, and in parting we sincerely wish it strength and success in the futurealthough we hardly see how it can get along without us. We are now soon to enter the ranks of the Alummni. If we do as much for the College then as we have done during our undergraduate davs, the Alumni Association will do more for the Caollege than it ever has done in the past. And future undergrads may rest assured that we will do our best in this line. 25 Let me describe our fellows to you. If some fellow comes up and bums a cigarette off of you, you will know that is Best. Freddie Clark is a great maitre-d'armes; he is president of the Fencing Club, and is the only man that takes to the Wood. Jimmie Connor is one of the best engineers in our class; he is really Robby's pet. Bill Constable is the silver-tongued orator from Maryland, or the ranting politician; Bill deserves that prize for the highest standing whether he gets it or not; he has never used a horse. Jim Davis is the heavy tragedian; he has an engagement next vear to play Hamlet and Macbeth; The Death Bed of a Traitor or The Black Horse and Its Rider will be introduced during the performance. Dutton is the heavy sleeper, or Rip Van Winkle the second : that boy can play tennis, too. Joe Frazer is Tramp, the Dog; or, The Mystery of the Office Boy. Lucy Green is the dude, the ladies' man and the owner of Bunny. Hardesty tries to look like Napoleon, and speak like Daniel Webster, and write like Edward Everett Hale; 'nough said. Hick is our singer, our actor, our stage director; he missed his calling when he tock up engineering under Robby. Matt. Kyle is Bubble. Ralph is our other singer; you should hear his tenor voice, and also The Wonder on the Horizontal Bar; or, Who Skinned the Cat. Tom Leach is the living representative of College spirit from Wil- mington, Lockwood is pugnacious, and also assistant manager and general hustler of the Mask and Wig. Johnnie Mackall is the strong man from Elkton, and a good shot with rifle or shot- gun. Mitchell is engaged, also our preacher. Ben Pardee, or John Everly Grove, is the king. 'Gene Reybold is our end man and clog dancer, likewise major of the battalion, Sam Sawin is trying to raise a moustache. Gus Smith is such a loud fellow we have to put a gag on him to keep him from talking; but he can pitch a base ball. Buck? Wharton is our foot ball player, class president and general good fellow, Wright, or Wrighty, is the quietest man in the class; you can't get him to say a word, even when contradicted. This completes our class roll. A magnanimous display of wonderment, surely. Probably this is our last written communication as a class, and we are glad to take advan- tage of it. The world has treated us well while we were here, and because of our College train- ing, we think it will in the future. Yet no longer will the helping hand of classmate or society- mate be extended to us in time of trouble or need. As we separate ourselves from the College, so we separate from each other. It is a final good-bye. The companionship, the camaraderie has meant much to us, vet it is not the sort of thing we care to talk about. We only silently ap- Freciate it. and in future vears we will realize still more what it has meant to us. Ta the Col- ege and its memories and associations, our loving Alma Mater, and to our friends we bid fare- well. We can say no more. Future classes may do more for the College, but we have done our best, Angels could do no more. HISTORIAN. THE JUNIOR CLASS. CLASSE YELL MOTTO - e are the Lion, Hear us roar!

ET 1 cannot help but sigh tly and brush a silent tear drop from my eye as 1 recall to Y memory the three most pleasant years of my life, and think at the same time that in the short space of one more year all the joyful times will be past, the friendships so happily formed be torn asunder, and with a tearful farewell we will be cast out upon the cheerless, un- feeling world to begin, as it were, our life's work, ow much has happened since that memorable day, the twelfth of September, nineteen hun- dred! What great things have been accomplished already by the class of 1904! Though we cannot help but smile to ourselves when we recall the spectacle we presented the first few days of our College life, as awkward Freshmen, it was not long before we outgrew our infant days and assumed the appearance of full-fledged College men. But the memory of the first few weeks, on account of the vivid contrast which it presented with our former lives, impressed us deeper than has any period since. When we walked into , l the first morning after our arrival, the Sophomores and upper classmen laughed at us, and yelled out, Look at the Freshies! which we thought was a very ungentlemanly thing for them to do. However, we had eome to College determined to stay and to stand up for our rights, and, as time has shown, our resolutions were not in vain. Once out of chapel, the haughty Sophomores, whom we soon learned to detest with a mur- derous hate, gathered around us and informed us that we would be required to entertain them by dancing, singing, making speeches and other things to cause ourselves to appear ridiculous. The first one thev tackled was Bull Dennison his name was admirably chosen, for he would never do anything he thought would please any one else, and they requested him either to sing Old Folks at Home or to make a speech on Love. Bull declined, remarking that all h-1 couldn't make him sing. Hearing this, the Sophomores picked up Bull and started for the shower-baths, and we followed, of course, to see what they were going to do with him. When we arrived at the door we found it well guarded, so we waited outside. Pretty soon Bull came out thoroughly soaked, and mad in proportion: then they seized another of our class, intending to repeat the operation until we all should be served alike, That was too much for us: we assaulted the door; and door, Sophomores and ourselves landed against an opposite wall. Then in a little room ten feet square, with all the shower-baths turned on, began a fierce struggle which ended only when all the participants were well drenched and thoroughly ex- hausted. We had held our own. We now went to the Gymnasium to hold our first class meeting, and there elected the fol- lowing officers; Wittiam Lawrow, JB., President. J. Sruarr Groves, Fice-President. Bassert FERcuson, Secretary and Treasurer, After the elections Dick Rodney made a stirring speech. In part he said: Get together after dinner, boys, and give them h-11 We followed his advice, and after dinner in the large front hall of the Dormitory the two classes came together in full force. At the end of the combat the hall was strewn with remnants of coats, hats, collars, ties, cuffs, shirts, suspenders, buttons, and other wearing ap- parel. The honors were ahout evenly divided, and we were yet unconquered. After this we were not bothered much, except oceasionally a bucket of water would mys- teriously fall from the roof or from an upper window and catch us unsuspectingly. But the Sophomores were not content to allow us the freedom we demanded, and, when all other means failed, they sought means to humiliate us by defeating us in foot ball and other athletics. Here, too, we proved our superiority ; and the foot ball game which they expected to be so easy was a greater surprise to them than anything we had vet done. Next they sought revenge in base ball, and were confident of an easy victory, but in the first inning we scored 13 runs, and at the end of the game the score stood: Freshmen, 30: Sophomores, 3- We played another game, and were again victorious by a score of 27 to 11, The Seniors now came to the rescue of the Sophomores and consoled them by promising to give us an overwhelming defeat. It was a great game; the scorekeeper filled his paper after we had made the twenty-fifth run and stopped scoring for us, but we continued making runs just the same. The Seniors scored 10 runs, but we never knew just how many we did make, The time now passed quickly, and commencement week arrived. Tt was during this week that our celebrated field meet was held, and again 1004 was victorious, scoring more points than the other two participating classes. Vacation was a welcome event, and passed all too quickly, and again we found ourselves back to dear old Delaware. During the summer we had outgrown our infancy, and were now SOPHOMORES, whom none dared to disturb or molest. Yet we were not haughty and over- ad bearing as Sophomores are wont to he. We looked upon hazing as degrading, and resolved to do no more of it than was necessary to uphold our dignity, At the class meeting, called the day of our return, we elected officers for the year as follows: Basserr Fercuson, President, J. StawLEY Frazer, Fice-President. Josern D. Truxton, Secretary and Treasurer. While discussing the size of the Freshman Class and what we should do to them, Bill Nye arose and asked permission to be turned loose among the Freshmen, remarking that he would make the whole bunch look like a well-worn three-cent piece, We declined his proposition, for we wanted some of the fun ourselves, The Freshman Class outnumbered us two to one, but on the day of their arrival we proved to them in two decisive contests that, although few in numbers, we must be respected. After thoroughly subduing them, we lined them up, made them roll one trousers' leg to the knee, and marched them around town. There was a beautiful display of hosiery and underwear. After this we allowed them to rest on probation, and punished only those who became too fresh and forgot their places. In athletics we again showed our superiority. Some of the Freshmen were heard to boast of their foot ball team, but when they lined up against us we made them look smaller than they really were. They shared the same fate in base ball, when, on the sixth of June, we won a decisive victory, During our Sophomore year we lost three of our number, and two others joined our class. Bull Denmison was the first to leave our ranks: he learned all that was worth knowing and saw no further advantage of wasting his time here. The next to drop out was Bill Nye, and a deep mystery surrounds his disappearance, One afternoon he was working in Physical Laboratory and was sent out with an anercid barometer to ascertain the hcigEt of the water tower, Neither Bill nor the barometer was ever seen again. Two rational theoried were set forth to account for their disappearance; one was that Bill had fallen into the tank and sunk, and for quite a time afterward we were suspicious if the water tasted at all strange, The other theory advanced was that the barometer had suddenly risen and carried Bill with it. This theory must have been correct, for several months later we learned that Bill had been seen in Ohio; and on looking up the weather reports we found that on the day following his disappearance the barometer had fallen in the Ohio valley. The third to leave was Killarney, and it was with great reluctance that we saw him depart. He was a loyal classmate and a faithful friend, al- ways cheerful, and ever ready and willing to help one in need. Our second vacation passed even more quickly than the first, and once more we found our- a5 selves back to old Delaware to assume the title and the cares of Juniors. Our fame by this time had extended over all the territory east of the Mississippi river, and it is now daily extend- ing westward, and will, in time, reach the Pacific. From North Carolina came one student whom we welcomed to our class; he had heard of our fame, and made haste to come North and join our ranks. The only unpleasant news we received at our reunion as Juniors was that three of our class- mates would be unable to return to College. It was with great sorrow that we saw them go, for not one of them could we afford to lose. Mother Welch, one of those to leave us, was faithful and loval: was glad of an opportunity to help any one in distress, and always stood up for his class. Alex. Jackson, another for whom we grieve, was one we could ill afford to lose: but he saw a bright future awaiting him in the court-room, and he therefore took up the study of law. Dick Rodneywell, there seems to be something even in seeing his name to make one smile. Just why he left Collewe we never knew. There was a story circulated that a certain Newark girl, who very much resembled Dick, had rejected him, and he was not willing to stay so close to her when he knew that she was lost to him forever. That story is hardly credible, We miss Dick greatly, and wish he was still with us, The Junior Promenade is an important event in the history of the Junior Class; but when the class of 1904 takes hold of anvthing success is already in sight. Of all the brilliant dances that have been given at Delaware Collegeand she is noted for such affairsthe Junior Promenade, given the thirteenth of February, nineteen hundred and three, surpassed anything of the kind yet recorded in history, Everything to the slightest detail was perfect, and, together with the beautiful faces of our partners beaming in the mellow light of the hall, it reminded one of a sojourn in fairyland, Many important changes have oceurred and improvements been made since we entered Col- lege, the origing of which can be traced to the class of 1004, It was in our Freshman year that the famous Outing Club was organized. This year, too, the standard of the College was raised. Field meets were initiated; relay teams were sent to Franklin Field; new Dormitories were erected ; the workshops enlarged; more land purchased, and general improvements on all sides and increasing prosperity are monuments to immortalize the name of our elass. The space allotted me in the Derelict is filled, or T might continue indefinitely enumerating the great achievements we have won by superior merits and determined perseverance, As we peer into the near future we can see only success portrayed, and the days of hard toil and care, which we know must come before we shall be cast out into the world, are made to glow like the sunshine of May, when we but think that we are yet united to a class of which we are proud to be members.

CCORDING to mythology, evervthing was accounted for, everything had an origin some- where, and we to-day do not believe that something can spring from nothing; but it has always been said of us: From whenee came they, and whither are they going We, as a class, came from all parts of Delaware and its surrounding country, As the gen- tle breezes stirred the lofty pines of Sussex, and as the ox-carts tread the sands of the same county, there stirred five fellows, and they tread the silica to their respective stations, A little later we find others wending their way to the depot to join the five. These are from Kent county, They leave home and its environment, leave fair forms and hoary sires, to go to College. When these all arrive in Newark, they meet others, until the number grows to thirty-eight, With this number we opened College days. We were then the Freshies of Delaware Col- lege. We were received, as is the custom, by the Sophs, the class of 'og, and, to say the least, the reception was informal. They had decided to acquaint us with certain things, but we had our own opinions and were not influenced by fair speech, nor even by their commands. The result was, we were unruly in the fullest sense of the word, and they agreed to it that we were stronger physically than they, Sinee then they have tried to cutdo us. They played us foot ball, but the score was a tie. Thev plaved us base ball, but honors were divided, Our Freshman year was rather eventiul. We saw revolution follow, which was thought to be injustice, and we were the cause of it. We are noted for causing all noises and disturb- ances, and we justly claim the title. But, with it, we claim the highest honors elsewhere, We have been a troublesome child to the faculty, our parent, but nevertheless they think there is none so good, mentally, morally, spiritually. When the class of '00 assembled on the campus we met them. We proceeded to instruct them in the ways of College life. We taught them that they who would command, must first obey ; they who would govern, must first be governed. We have thoroughly instilled this into their minds, and they followed it out admirably. We met them on the gridiron, and we were successful, as in all the rushes, We saw their 41 courage fail them, and when we met them in basket ball we let them win, He is a cruel master who never encourages his slave. The prominent places in athletics are filled by our men, We had six in the foot ball field. In base ball four, When Delaware was invited to join the University of Pennsylvania relay races we came forward and sent three out of five; this vear we sent three also. 3 The Y. M. C. A, has received a goodly number to swell its ranks. The Mask and Wig found us very useful and beneficial. We are musically inclined, not only with our trained voices, but with an instrument of five, eight or ten strings. The Banjo and Mandolin Club has four of our number. The Orchestra has five. The leader is among that number. We cannot say as a certainty how this year's field meet will end, but we do prophesy that the class of 'o5 will carry off the most points. And in the series of base ball games there is no reason why we can't be the first to have inscribed upon the large cup our numerals, Thus, one can see how we have developed in two years. Dare any one say where it will stop? To the class of '03, our friend, we say, May peare and happiness your path attend. To the class of 'o4, our Senior rival, we say, May success attend vour best efforts. To the class of 'ob, our Junior rival, we say, Study to make the best of all vour opportunities, and mav you be a faithful son of old Delaware.

T ABOUT hali-past eight o'clock, on the morning of Thursday, September 11th, 1002, A thirty-two yvoung geniuses, full of high hopes and fervent ambitions, cunglumcratedm:t Delaware College, They represented all parts of Delaware, and many of the neighboring States. There were fourteen from Wilmington, Diel.; five from Newark, Del.; seven from out- lying towns of Delaware, four from Maryland, one from Pennsylvania, and one from Mon- tana. When this heterogeneous crowd had arrived at the College their modesty was given a severe shock by the reverential curiosity and respectful admiration with which the upper class- men regarded them, but this they soon recovered from, and their bump of combativeness was fully developed by the warm welcome offered them by one particular set of husky-looking non- descripts, who were styled Sophomores. This peculiar species seemed to think that its one duty and mission in life was to act as a moral, mental and physical guide and instructor to the Fresh- man Class. But after a few encounters this erroneous idea disappeared, and the class of 'of be- gan to become accustomed, by degrees, to the new state into which it had fallen. In the first place, the class resolved itself into four Classicals, four Latin Scientifics, one Agricultural, cleven Civil Engineers, four Mechanical Engineers and eight Electrical Engineers, making a total of thirty-two students. This number has been decreased by one, a Mechanical, who resigned before the end of the vear. The present number of students in the class is, there- fore, thirty-one, In spite of the efforts of the Sophomores, the first class meeting was held in Gymmasium Hall, and the President of the class for the Freshman year was elected, and the class policy, un- vielding opposition and defiance toward -the Sophomore Class, was adopted. At later meetings the other officers of the class were elected, and the class yell and mnttogl;!;rmed. The next event of any importance was the formation of the Freshman Hot Air Club, of which A. Franklin Fader was elected President and George Farnan Vice-President. The ob- ject of the society is the propagation and spread of the hot air for which the members are noted, and so far its efforts have been crowned with unqualified success. The club holds weekly meet- ings in Professor Harold W. Brown's Drawing Rooms, and has a large and efficient member- ship. The Freshman-Sophomore foot ball game was one of the most talked-of events of the sea- son, as the Freshmen, fearing to be thought grasping, gracefully handed over the victory to the Sophs. But the organization to which the class of 'of6 points with most pride is the Freshman 47 basket ball team, which was the first basket ball team worthy of mention in the College his- tory. The credit of introducing the game is due entirely to C. B. Shaffer, 'of, who, by strenuous efforts, interested the members of the class in the game, and organized a team which did credit to the Freshman Class. In all, the team played twelve games, one in Philadelphia, one in Con- shohocken, seven in Wilmington and three in the Delaware College Gymnasium, Although the number of games won was small, the general record of the team was good, when it is considered that most of the plavers had never playved the game before, and that they were not supported by the Athletic Association of the College, but had to depend upon their own resources. The team was composed of the following : CapfoinCarlton Brown Shaffer. ManagerHarry G. Lawson. FPlayersDe C. Poffenberger and George Farnan, centers; C. B, Shaffer and W, J. Tag- gart, forwards; C. A. Wyatt, A. Hauber and R. A. Parvis, defense; H. L. Stuart, E, D. Neill, Jr., and H. A. Cramer, substitutes, On Monday, January 12th, 1903, the Sophomore basket ball team was overwhelmingly de- feated by the Freshmen in the Gymnasium, by a score of 46 to 27. The class of 1906 has a right to be proud of itself for its progressiveness, its versatility, and for its interest in athletics. It has responded lovally to the requests of the Athletic Association for encouragement, both financial and personal, A class foot ball team and a class basket ball team have heen established, and a Freshman base hall team has been organized, which expects to be able to give practice to the first team, as well as play outside teams. A tennis team is also in sight. The separate members of the class have entered heartily into everything that would advance the interests of the College. Three of them have won their DD by playing on the Col- lege foot ball team, season of 19o2. One has already made the first base ball team, and several more are on probation. Three are contributors to the College paper, the Repieww, and nearly all subseribe to it. A goodly number have joined the College Y. M. C. A., and one of them has been elected Treasurer. Two have joined the Mask and Wig Club, and have taken part in the show. Ome 15 a member of the College Banjo and Mandolin Club, and another a member of the College Crehestra. The Athenman and Delta Phi have received members from this class. One of us has been appointed Assistant Librarian of the College. Strenuous efforts are being made to gain the admittance of the Freshmen to the field games and relay races, held by the Wilmington High School of Wilmingion, Del,, or failing in that, to organize a meet at the College. The class of 'o6 is loyal, heart and soul, to Old Delaware. HISTORIAN, 48 The Delta Phi Society HE Dehlia Phi Literary Society was organized January 14th, 1835, or about cight months after the College was first opened. Since that date, until the present time, the society has enjoved an uninterrupted existence of prosperity and usefulness, The College records show that on the 17th of November, 1834, the faculty resolved to recommend to the students the formation of Literary Societies, and adopted conditions upon which they should be organized. The language implies that in accordance with the general custom in Colleges, two such socictics were contemplated. The students held meetings for this purpose, but refused to submit to the restrictions which the faculty had imposed. Two societies, the Delta Phi and the Athenman, were, however, organized and began doing work without the approval of the faculty. This lasted but a short time, when the restrictions were modified, and the societies were regularly organized and became recognized bodies. During its long and interesting career the Delta Phi Societv has had on its rolls men who have since been foremost in State and national affairs, men who have stood highest in their re- spective professions, men who have heen an honor to the society, to the College, and to the State: The societies hold regular weekly meetings, and previous to the past two vears one after- noon each week, usually Friday, has been set apart by the faculty for this purpose. Put last year the faculty disregarded this custom and scheduled recitations for every afternoon, claiming that the remainder of the week did not afford sufficient time for all recitations. By untiring ef- forts on the part of a few of the students the faculty at last consented to give up one afternoon, after 3.30, to the societics. This is not satisfactory, for during the foot ball and base ball sea- sons many men mist be on the athletic field each day soon after this hour, and they are deprived of the privilege of attending the society meetings, We believe it would be far better to dispense with all recitations one afternoon each weelk, even though it were necessary to drop some from the regular schedule, for greater henefits can be derived from an afternoon spent in the soeiety halls, than from an afternoon spent in a recita- tion room or in a laboratory, We believe the benefits of our societies are indispensable, for here we learn the value of speech, here we are taught to think quickly, here we receive our first lessons in oratory, here is where selfishness of all sorts is set aside and each brother works for his brother's good, here we are faught to love and be loved. Nothing in the College absorbs so much of the student's time, or has a greater claim upon his heart, than the Literary Societies. THE DELTA PHI SOCIETY. . H-,' R ,.. 1f -',' I g E it -,rf- SF The Athenesean Society HE Athenzan Literary Society was founded December 18th, 1834, but its constitution was not adopted until February 4th, 1835. Tts rival, the Delta Phi, claims a greater age, being founded and incorporated January 12th, I835. The society has followed an almost uninterrupted course from its begin- ning. During the time the College was closed, from 1859 to 1870, the society was kept alive by association of old members. When, however, the College reopened, the society soon regained its former activity and usefulness, The second closing of the society was abont the spring of 1go1. About that time finterest in literary work began to flag, owing to the greatly increased number of engineering students. Tt is gratifying, however, to know that this year the society has been reorganized, and is again doing good work, The work done in the society is purely of a literary character, consisting of parliamentary practice in debating, speaking and reading. This constitutes each weekly program, The society has the names of many famous men on the roll of past members, men who have been prominent in State and national councils. Eminent lawyers and preachers have made their maiden speeches in the society debates, A cordial welcome will be given to all of her former members who may return to visit her OnNce more, Young Men's Christian Association ELAWARE'S Young Men's Christian Association was organized in 18g1. From that year D to 1.899. it may be said, however, that it existed in name only, In 18gg the association was reorganized by J. H. Mitchell, '03. Since then the association has grown steadily in members and influence. An important factor in stimulating the association is the vearly attend- ance of delegates to the Students Convention, held at Northfield, Mass, DBeginning with two delegates in 18gg, the number has increased to six, which attended in 1go2, Delaware's Association is alsa a member of the Tri-State Department, which comprises the States of Delaware, Maryland and District of Columbia. Ten delegates attended the Tri-State Convention, held March, 1903, at Baltimore. Ome of the most important departments of the association is that of Dible Study. At pres- ent there are three classes, and it is expected to add another to the number in 1903, These classes meet once a week, and are usually well attended. The Trustees of the College last year provided for the association a large, well-furnished toom in the new Dormitory, A small library of Bible Study reference books has been begun, and it is expected to be enlarged from time to time.

The Foot Ball Team HE prospects for a strong Delaware College foot ball team at the opening of the season of 1goz2 were far from bright. When College opened in September we found ourselves without a coach the man from Columbia having disappointed us, giving us only a few days' notice of his decision not to come, and with only a shadow of what was the vietorious team of 1901. Within a few days of our return we secured the services of a Bucknell man to coach, and, as he proved to be of questionable success in that capacity, he was released, and Professor Short took the team in hand and worked a miracle. The graduating class had carried with it seven members of the old team and substitutes; one other left to attend the University of Maryland; and thus it was that when the first call for candidates was given, only seven of the sixteen who fought on the gridiron for the Old Gold and Blue in 19o1 presented themselves. However, with these seven came several from last yvear's Scrub, and as many more prom- ising Freshmen, Then we got down to work, and work we did, as is shown when a week after the first practice we went up against Swarthmore, the team which had, three days before, held Princeton down to 18 to o, and which, later in the season, was barely defeated at the hands of the University of Pennsylvania by the score of 11 to 6. The result was 12 to o in favor of Swarthmore, but to those who saw it this game was a triumph in defeat; for, with cleven men lighter by far than the opponents and inexperienced, Delaware demonstrated that she could play goad foot ball. A week later Washington College was played, and, notwithstanding the fact that only 15- minute halves were played, and in the rain at that, when the whistle blew for the game to end Delaware had scored 27 points to Washington's o. 65 Next in turn came Haverford, and this is where our iroubles began. We had defeated Haverford the year before and were eager and ready to repeat the performance, but, oh! how disappointed we were doomed to beas well as sore. Tt was a case of overconfidence, followed by stage fright after the game was on. I can say that, although we were being terribly de- feated, there was not a quitter among us. From the beginning it was a question of how much they would score. After the first half I decided to put in all my subs, so as to save as much as possible the men for the next game; and this proved to be a wise plan, for when, a week later, we went up against the University of Maryvland, we were in the pink of condition, and gave the people of good old Newark a game of foot ball long to be remembered, The Uni- versity outweighed us, to put it moderately, twenty-five pounds to the man, but not in this case ditl sheer strength win, When the timekeepers yelled in the second half, Captains, only five minutes to play, neither side had scored. This information seemed to give the Delaware boys a new and almost superhuman strength; down the field we went, five, ten, fifteen vards, Then Maryland's 1o-vard line was reached, from which Green, our placky little half-back, assisted hy beautiful interference, earried the ball over for a touchdown ; and shortly after the goal had been kicked the whistle blew, and the game had been won by Delaware. On November 15t we went to New York City and played Fordham College. Not many of us will ever forget that trip, or that trick play which they worked on us repeatedly and success- fully. However, after a hard fought battle we came out victorious: Score, 17 to 10. Our next game was with St. John's College, Annapalis. T would like to sav a great deal of this game, but space, time and my feelings will not allow me; so T will simply say that when we went on the field each of us felt hungry, for we had been sitting at the St. John's table for the three previous meals. DBut when the game began they found that starving would not suffice to beat us, so they called in the service of one of the professors who was referecing, and, as is their custom, they robbed us. This is no idle dream or hard luck story. To have it verified vou have only to ask the members of the Lafayette College foot ball team, who witnessed the game, The final score, so the referee declared, was 10 to 0. In fact, it was o to o. Next came Rutgers College. In this game we were fairly and squarely defeated by the seore of 15 to 12, and 1, as well as my team, have only the highest praise for the Rutgers College men. They are perfect gentlemen in every respect. ik Pennsylvania Military College surprised us. They are our old rivals, and we went to Ches- ter for a mid-week game, confident of victory. DBut P. M. C. had a better team than we had, and won the game by the score of 17 1o 12, The last game was played on the home grounds, and our opponents were from the Mary- land Agriculture College, or, at least, that's the name they have. It was learned that some of them had been down to College Park at some time during their career. The excuse given after the game by M. A. C. for padding their team was that they had no agreement with us to play bona fide students, and that we bad made no kick against padding. I leave it to you, my readers: Is that a good excuse? Is it not similar to a woman's because? Was it necessary for me to expect that they would do anything not becoming a College of their standing? Would it not have been a reflection, to say the least, upon the fair name of their institution to have ex- acterdd a written guarantee that their plavers were all bona fide students? It was not necessary in any of our other games. Our athletic constitution and our faculty forbid us to play men who are not bona fide stu- dents. So was it not natural for me to expect perfect honesty from them? However, the game resulted in a tie. After battling for sixty minutes the game ended with the following seore: Team representing Maryland Agriculture College, o; Delaware College, o. Thus the season ended, and, while it cannot be called a truly successful one, vet as a whole we cannot be ashamed of it I wish to tender my thanks to the student body for the spirit shown from the beginning of the season. And to Professor Short, who made a good team possible. We all give him our sincere as- surance of appreciation, And, lastly, I wish to thank the Scrub for their faithfulness in giving the Varsity prac- tice. To the team of 'o3 we make our best how, and may next season, under the leadership of Cap- tain Ferguson, be one on which we may all Jook back with pride and pleasure. So, here is to the Delaware College foot ball teams of 'oz and 'o3, to foot ball-lovers, past, present and future. Captain of the Foot Ball Team. 67 The Scrub Foot Ball Team J. E. G.

Pig, 'os. e TR i M d 1 3 k The Scrub Foot Ball Team URING the foot ball season of 1002 the Delaware Serub was hardly all that one could wish. D There was a great deal of complaint that the Serobbies did not do their part, by go- ing out every day. No doubt this is true, in one sense. DBut when you think of the things that are expected of the Serub, vou must all admit that their part in the making of a goad Warsity team is not the casiest or the most pleasant one in the world. It iz not the most pleasant thing in the world to don a foot ball suit with the expectations of goot hard knocks, and know that the Athletic Association will muke a big kick when vou ask them for a few dollars, with which vou may arrange for a game with some team your size. It is no wonder that you have to almost dress and carry some men out on the field when you want to have a good practice game with the Varsity. In the four years that I have been at Delaware, 1 have noticed that when the Serubbies had some game scheduled there were always plenty of men that were only too glad o get a place on the team. What does this go to show? Why, just this: Let there be a reg- ular organized Serub. Let them have the same privileges as a Varsity man. And give them some money, so that they may arrange for two or three home games. And 1 believe that, if some little time is given them, in the matter of signal practice and training, Delaware will have a Scrub that, when the Varsity wins, the Scrubbies will know they did their part, and when the Varsity meets with reverses, the Scrubbies will go out with the determination of put- ting them in shape again. Every man knows that the Varsity is not to blame if it loses once in a while, but vou can- not have a good Varsity unless you have a good Scrub. Ewvery Varsity man knows this, and so0 does every man of the Scrub. Every Delaware man wants to see a good foot ball team for the season of 1903, There is plenty of good material around the College, so let every man come back in September ready to play foot ball; the kind that you spell with a capital F. Do not come back to play the innocent little game of our childhoml called marbles, Lt the manly game of Foot ball, which is essen- tially a Caollege game, There is one thing every man should learn to do on going to College. This is, to broaden his mind. Drop your baby ways and begin to think for yvourself. One of the most used ex- cuses for not coming out on the Serub is something like the following: My ma would not like her ome hundred and forty or fifty-pound pet to go out and be tramped on. She says she does not want her little boy to get his hair mussed or his hands covered with good, healthy dirt. Then, again, he might get a cold after such awiul exertions. Poor, misguided mother, we are all very sorry for your son. All such sons as these should have a glass case for them- selves, to be placed either in a Trophy Room or Willie Bishop's Zoological Laboratory. It just amounts to this, either go out every day that vou are able or are needed, and work hard while you are out there; or don't go near the foot ball field at all. But come back to Col- lege some Monday morningafter a game on the preceding Saturdayand say to the first one you meet, Oh! by the way, how did the foot ball team do last Saturday ' This iz an actual case that happened last fall. The fellow that asked that question did not take enough interest in the College to find, by a Sunday paper, what the score was. If a man calls that College spirit, then there is no hope for him, as far as I can see, There were several men on last season's Scrub that could have been on the Varsity. But, because thev were afraid to inconvenience themselves hy doing a little training and principally stop smoking, they decided that it was not worth the while. Some more College spirit for you. There is plenty of good material on last yvear's Scrub, and if yon go out and do a little hard work, vou can have a team to be proud of. You Scrubbies must not forget that the work cut out for yout next fall is to defeat Tome, and if you defeat Tome, as you should do, then T will warrant that the Varsity will not complain of a poor Serub.

For three vears base ball was not indulged in, with the exception of class games, DBut under the Super- vision of a newly-elected member of the faculty, Dr. Rowan, base ball took a sudden start, and with Delaware J, Willis as captain our team proved to be a great BUCCCES. This year's team has, so far, proved to be of fair quality, although Willis, our last year's pitcher and captain, has left us. With the exception of Willis our team is practically the same. Owur last vear's pitcher is greatly missed, as he was one who has made quite a reputation throughout the surrounding States. There was never a game he pitched but what he had fourteen or fifteen strike-outs to his credit, and the opposing team never ob- tained more than two or three hits, The batting of this vear's team far excels that of last year's. This was the weak point of last year's team, but by thorough drilling and coaching the whole team has learned how to make hat and ball connect. The greatest help for any team is interest by the student hady, and this is one thing which has not been lacking. Ewvery day, not only has there been a great number of candidates out for the team, but also a great number of students have been present during the practice, so as to urge and encourage the players on to do good work. Omn account of the great number of candidates for the Varsity squad much difficulty arose in picking a team. Class games have been a great help toward building up base ball material. Every year it has been eustomary for the teams from different classes to compete on the diamond, and menerally great enthusiasm has reigned among the respective classes, The Athletic Council has this year offered a silver cup, and the class winning the inter-class championship each year shall have its class numerals engraved upon the cup. Also, the team winning the championship for three consecutive vears shall becorme possessor of the cup, which shall receive a conspicuous place in the Trophy Room. The class games have so been arranged that the winner of the Junior and Senior games shall play the winner of the Freshman and Sophomore game, and the said winner becomes inter-class champion in base ball. One thing is certain, that the students owe a great deal of thanks to their respective coaches, Dy, Rowan and Professor Short. Dr. Rowan, who is a graduate of Lafayette, played four years on their base ball team, and it is without a doubt that Doctor Rowan understands hase ball, hoth theoretically and practically. His theory, which we use, was used by the Baltimore National League team, and has won several games for us in the past season. It is hoped that the base ball enthusiasm, which 15 now prevalent among the students, will continue, and that base ball will hold a place as prominent in Delaware's reputation as does her other athletics, Captain B. B, Team, 03. i 7 The TracK Team RACI athletics are as yet in their infancy in Delaware College, and it is very pleasing to those interested to note the increasing interest taken each Year. In . .1;.:.'. 10901, the classes of ':hj anil '04 held a dual track and field meet, which was won by the class of 'o3. This meet was such a success that in June of the same year the three classes, 'o2, 'og and 'og, held a similar contest. This meet was won by the class of o4, and was even more of a suceess than the 11rl .'iill.l:-' one. The r'--llm-.iu;; h1ll -I:IL;. ', 1002, the enthusiasm grew less, to a certain extent, though a team was entered in the University of Pennsylvania Annnal Relay Car- mival. This team was not so successful as it might have been, but a beginning was made. This spring the interest was re- vived, and we were so fortunate as to have in our faculty Pro- fessor Clarence A. Short, who willingly extended his services as trainer. With his able istance a strong relay team was picked, which was also entered in the relay races at the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania. This team clearly showed the effects of its careful training by winning second place in the first col- legiate class, being beaten only by the speedy aggeregation from the Carlisle Indian School, and each member of the team re- turned, not only with his silver loving-cup, but with the honor of having won for Dela- ware the first track honors which she has ever enjoved in her long period of existence. From all indications at the time of writing, the inter-class championship meet 1o be held in June, 1go3. will surpass anvthing of the kind that has yet been undertaken, The number of entries is quite 2R T 92 - 1, 4 - !

L - A Tl i The Gold and Blue Fencing Class. N THE coming of Dr. Dawson to Delaware College not a few of the students became O highly interested in the graceful art of fencing, Dr. Dawson is a graduate of Heidel- berg, where, instead of teaching close formation and other tactics of hand-to-hand en- counter on the gridiron, they teach how to wield the foil. T am afraid that we all had visions of scars obtained in mortal combat, but, of course, one's wildest hopes are never realized, for which we, at least, should he thankful. The first thing we did on learning that Dr. Dawson would act as instructor was to buy foils, masks, gloves, hair-matiresses, and all the other paraphernalia used. Each man provided himself with the following articles: Omne mask, one foil and one-half dozen extra blades, one right-hand 8-ounce boxing glove, one hair-mattress sometimes called plastrons, one dozen first aid bandages, one ambulance and one special hospital made to order. Then came the great day, after all our cquipment had been assembled and buckled on, when we strode forth to our first lesson. The first point we were taughtand one which is well worth rememberingis to al- ways hold vour foil by the handle. This may also apply to men who are sometimes surprised to find themselves grasping a handful of air and in due course of time the foil falls to earth. We were told that this little stunt is called unhorsing a man Adfter this we were tauzht how to stand and then came an endless number of thrusts, lunges, parries and feints, until we could parry of guarte and ripostethe fencing book says that if you riposte accurately, he is your meat. We hope he is; he ought to be, if he is not. After petting some of the simpler strokes and parries we got down to business, and many an evening the clink and whir of blades could be heard on the Kow settling old disputes of long standing with the Den. 1t was during these bloody mortal combats that we saw the ad- vantage of our hair-mattress armor, for without it, I, for one, would be very much like a sieve. Fencing certainly is a beautiful sight, especially when you see some one who is a master of the art, standing up in a graceful position, whirling his blade by a slight turn of the wrist; whir- ling his blade so fast that it dazezles the eye to watch it, and after a number of feints and parries he lunges forth in Tierce and strikes! Yes, he strikes, but it is only empty air. Then is the time when the graceful art of fencing shows up to the best advantages. No doubt some of our Gold and Blue fencers will soon be seen in all the large fencing tour- naments of this country, and if they are, then Old Delaware will come off with honors, The following iz a list of officers and members : Di.

L1 A T P I e THE FENCING TEAM, 7 The Mask and Wig Club N THE fall of 1go1, through the efforts of a few men, a College Mask and Wig Club was I organized. Under this were included the Glee Club, the Banjo and Mandolin Club and the College Orchestra, We seemed to have struck the right chord, for men flocked together to take some part in the show. Notwithstanding this, there was much hard work connected with it. We decided to give a minstrel show, as that was probably the easiest to get up, and besides, we seem to have men just suited for the places. MeDaniel, 'oz, as interlocutor, received all the jokes and bits of fun told at his expense with unvarving equanimity. Huxley, 'oz; Hick- man, '03; Jackson, 'o4, and Groves, 'og4, took the positions of end men, and always pleased the audiences, After the overture there were several very good specialties. The College Quartette, includ- ing Huxley, Cooper, Kyle and Jones, was delightful, and truly made the greatest hit. The Banjo and Mandolin Club were a revelation to our audiences, and between the acts the Orchestra fue- nished good music, Our first appearance was before a crowded house in the Collepe Oratory., Our Newark friends turned out in full force to see our performance. We gave a good show there, and then during Easter vacation we went down the State to Milford, Seaford, Dover and Smyrna. This trip was a mutual revelation to our down-State friends, and to many of us. Our friends did not know we could get up such a creditable performance in the College, and many of us from the northern part of the State did not know how many very nice people lived down the State, nor that they could be so hospitable and do so much for us. We enjoyed ourselves immensely, and received many and pressing invitations to come again. . Later we went over to Elkton, where we found how hospitable AMarylanders could be and how appreciative an audience they made. After much debate in the Executive Committee it was decided to take the show to Wilmington. We did so, and made a great success of it, having a L1 larger audience than any other College clubs which have visited that city. And the dance after- ward was greatly enjoyed by us all, The officers for the scason were: Manager-J. E. Grove I'ARDEE, '03. Stage Dhreclor-Cumming E. SrEakMAnN, 'o2. TreasurerCHARLES W, Busnh, 'oz, Lrecutive CommitteeCLIFToN, '02; CANN, '02; Parpeg, 'o3; Busi, '03; JACKSON, 'D4. This, our first venture in the dramatic line, was a success as a show, and a success finan- cially, 1t was everywhere received enthusiastically, and we made a very good sum of money. We all felt that we were to be congratulated on our first year's work. This year we started out with nearly the same management, namely : J. E. Grove Parpeg, 'o3, Manager, GeorGe L. Lockwoon, oz, Assistant Manager, basserr FerRcuson, 'ogq, Stege Director, Ciranves W, Busn, 'o3, Treasurer, Exvecutive CommitteeParoee, 'o3; Hickmax, 'o3; Bush, 'o3; Fercusow, 'o4; PoweLr, 'og. We debated long as to whether we should give a minstrel show or a comedy, hut when one of the students wrote a two-act comedy, The Little Freshman's Minstrels, we decided to give that. We have never regretted our choice, Of conrse, we gave the first performance in New- ark, and were greeted by a large and appreciative audience, During Easter vacation we went down the State again to Milford, Dover and Smyrna. This trip was enjoyed as much as that of last year, and the only thing about which we could complain was the bad weather, We went to Elkton again, and were treated as royally as before. We went to Wilmington, but not suc- ceeding so well as we thought we could, we went up again and did far better. We yet have an engagement at Delaware City, and, although this is new ground to us, we have been promised a full house and a good time. 5 There has been some complaint that too much time was lost in fooling with the Mask and S 3 Wig, that it took our minds from our studies and prevented us from doing as good work in the class-room as we otherwise might. But we firmly believe that time spent in this manner is not wasted. On the other hand, it is beneficial. It trains the hoys to go before andiences without embarrassment, and to think and act for themselves. If one confines one's self to books alome, a narrow mind will be the result, and while the Mask and Wig is not especially adapted to broaden minds, it is one of the many things about a College which helps to do it The future of the Mask and Wig can not be predicted, but next year there will surely be a show of some character, and, from present appearances and by the promising material we have, it will reach, or even surpass, the present organization, a1 Leader First Banjos.

The Engineering Society PRU?'-HNENT among the new enterprises at Delaware College this vear has heen the or- ganization of the Delaware College Engineering Society. It appears to be the spontaneous owigrowth of a feeling of long standing in the minds of several, and which has finally taken form in this society, The first, regular meeting was held November 17th, 1902, at which time the present con- stitution was adopted, and the first President, F. C. Clark, 'o3, was elected, Since that time the society has held its regular monthly meetings, at which papers have been presented by the mem- bers, Among some of the topics presented and discussed we note the following: Electric Train Lighting, Manufacture of Incandescent Lamps, Development of Power ai Niagara Falls, and many others of interest, Two lectures have also been given before the society, one hy Mr. T. C. Mariin, editor of Electrical World and Engineer; another by Professor Spangler, of the University of Pennsyl- vania, and at the present time arrangements are being made to establish a course of lectures to be given at regular intervals during the vear. This society furnishes the only opportunity for training and practice in speaking and de- bating outside of what may be afforded in the Literary Societies, and on this account is doubly valuable to its members, As only members of the Junior and Senior Classes and special students in Chemistry are eligible to active membership, its roll can never be very long, but with the few from each class who really are interested in the welfare of the society, there iz no reason why its career should not be a long and eminently prosperous one, especially since we have the hearty sympathy and approval of the faculty. This society now has a recognized place among us; it fills a long-felt want; let all give it their support and wish for it a long and useful existence. 06 Delaware Song Come ye forth all ve sons to greet her: True her blue as the skies of heaven, To your Alma Mater sing; Purity and worth her gold; Let our song rise to tell here glories, They stand forth a banner emblematic, Let each voice with gladness ring. Truth and knowledge they unfold. Of her fame let us ne'er tire singing, Raise this flag to the starry heavens, Let her victories be tald ; All, when they her folds behold, We can well be proud of dear Old Delaware, OMT will come all hats, and then just once again So cheer the blue and gold, : We'll cheer the blue and gold, CHorvs: CHorusS CHORUS : Rah! rah! rah! hurrah for Delaware! Rak! rah! rah! with name and fame so fair. Rah! rah! rah! may her glories never grow old; Boys, let's cheer that name so dear, Rah for the blue and gold.

The Junior Promenade HE Junior Promenade, given by the class of 1904, is an event which will cause pleasant memories to always linger with those who had the good fortune to attend it. To con- vey to one who was not present anvthing even approaching a fair impression of the de- lightful affair would be impossible. Year by wyear the Junior Promenades at Delaware College have shown a marked improvement in everything that tends to make a dance a delightful affair. Each has surpassed the preceding one; but this year we put forth a mighty effort, and our re- ward was Perfection. Indeed, everything seemed the height of perfection. The music was the best that money could procure; the floor resembled a polished mirror; the decorations were unigue and beauti- ful, and nothing which would add to the attractiveness of the Auditorium, even to the slightest detail, was omitted. The class numerals, made with incandescent lights and suspended above the front center of the orchestral stage, formed a position for the main center of the decora- tions. From this point blue and gold streamers radiated to all parts of the hall and converged at a sub-center at the opposite end. Along the front of the stage, which forms the arc of an ellipse, stood a row of rifles with fixed bayonets, and in the muzzle of each rifle was a miniature incandescent light. A large American flag made an effective background. On each side of the stage was a cosy corner, screened off by rows of small cedar trees extending diagonally from cach side of the stage to the opposite wall; while from a higher position in each corner, rays of blue and gold extended to the top of each tree. Amid a cluster of cedar trees, in another cor- ner, a fountain gushed from a dense tangle of ferns and laurel, and flowed off by a miniature brook made of rocks and moss. The remaining corner was tastefully decorated for the Pa- tromesses, Strings of laurel and holly extended around the walls, and were daintily draped about the windows. Around the walls rifles and flags were clustered indiscriminately, and helped to give that careless effect which pleases the eye so much more than does a mere mechan- 113 ical arrangement, Hundreds of incandescent lights, incased in pretiy globes which diverged the rays and prevented that unpleasant glare, peeped from all parts of the decorations and flooded the hall with a mellow light. But the most important thing of all, and the one which made the dance so delightful, was our partners. Delaware is famous for its peaches and its pretty girls, and, although some years the peach crop may be a failure, we have our pretty girls with us always. The girls who as- sembled in the College Auditorium on the thirteenth of last February presented a scene of beauty that can be surpassed at no similar gathering in this countrv. When the initial waltz began, and two hundred couples moved lightly around the room with an ease and grace that is start- ling, the spectacle presented was such as to cause one to forget the cares of life, and to drift off through cther to pay visits to fairyland. The evening passed all too quickly, and when the orchestra began playing Home, Sweet Home for the final waltz, we were awakened to the fact that the most pleasant dance ever given at Delaware College was drawing to a close, Long will the fond memories of that evening linger with us, and we can but hope and trust that all dances of the future will be no less en- jovahle, 114 THE OUTING CLUR. Lafrte The Outing Club MOTTO:A good old time, HE Delaware College Quting Club is an institution in a class by itself. Noth- ing has ever yet been produced at Delaware College that could in any way approach the greatness of the D. C. O, C. Organized but two years ago, it has so rapidly grown in popularity that to be a member of it is now a coveted privi- lege and one that is eagerly sought after. The Cuting Club was organized in the spring of 1go1, with fourteen members; and the first outing was at Rehoboth, in August of the same year. We rented a fur- nished cottage, took our cook with us, and went for a good time. We had it, too. A more con- genial crowd could not possibly have been chosen: everybody was ready and willing to do what- cver any one else suggested, and all were satisfied and happy. There were no kickers in the clib. The time was spent in bathing, fishing, sailing and dancingand sleep. We would have breakfast between nine and ten in the morning. Our cook's name was Mib, and when Mib got breakfast ready he would make the fact known to any one who happened to be up. If no one was up he would go to the nearest room and wake some one. Then would begin a free-for- all race for the breakfast table; dressing was attended to later. An hour's loafing in nigligd, smoking and discussing plans for the day, and it would be bathing hour. We all went in bath- ing every day, and spent at least two hours on the beach and in the surf, After dinner we would go down the bay fishing or sailing, or, perhaps, go calling. 1f any one felt particularly lazy he would loaf at the cottage all the afternoon. Each night there was dancing some place, and all of the fourteen were dancers. Many enjoyable evenings were spent in the dancing halls, and especially at the Douglas. About twelve o'clock the boys would begin to stroll toward the cottage, and from that time till two, when the late stayers came in, they would sit on the porch and sing, tell stories, or do most anyvthing to amuse themselves. There were three banjos, two mandolins and a guitar in the crowd, also boys who could play them. They furnished some excellent music, too. The time to leave for home came all too soon, and we lingered nearly a week after the day set for our departure. It was with sad hearts that we finally said farewell to the place we loved so dearly, Last summer the club again went to Rehoboth, and, although many of the members of the year before were unable to go, their places were readily filled, and we had a very desirable crowd. The greatest trouble with last summer was that our cottage was so large we almost seemed lost in it. Chur same cook, Mib, was with us again. All the good old times of the year before were repeated, and again we lingered a week after it was time to go home, The club will be reorganized during the spring term, and it is certain that they will spend part of the coming season at Rehoboth, Nothing but pleasant memories of the summer vacation linger with those who have been fortunate enough to call themselves members of the D, C, O, C,, and in years to come they will look back upon the days they spent at Rehoboth as the most jovful of their lives, A Member of D. C. O.

And the tree-tops gently swaying, By the breezes through them playing, Nod greetings to the wind; While the shadows they are throwing On the grass beneath them growing Appease the weary mind. And the fragrance from the flowers That enclose my summer bowers Floats to me on the air, Diraws the bees from distant rambles Over brooks and tangled brambles, To graze on pastures rare, Painted buiterflies go fitting, Humming birds, at rest, are sitting Among my choicest Howers, Here 1 lie in peaceful motion, Calmy drifting on life's ocean, And dream away the hours, 119 h, that life were all one summer, Speeding with a joyous murmur ! And summer all one day ! Oh, could I lie here forever! Oh, that joys of life would never Grow old and pass away ! But the sun will soon be sinking, Soon the summer days be shrinking, Soon come fell winter's breath : Soon this fecting life will leave us, Soon the mouldy grave receive us, And all will end with death, Drreams of bovhood days still haunt me, Direams of helpless old age taunt me, And time speeds swiftly by; Dreams of joy are killed with sorrow, With grief dies pleasure on the morrow, When I, also, must die. Now, I see my grave prepared, Now, I see my coffin lowered, And see but one tear fall; Now, I hear the preacher sayving, Diust to dust, to carth decaying : Oblivion covers all, 04, Ode to Delaware BY THE SECRETARY OF THE FACULTY.

In this space a photograph of the Faculty should beaor, rather, it was our intention to have it there. When we found we could not get the photograph, we thought it better to leave the space so as not to allow any one to get the impression that we have no Faculty. For we have. They are a lot of hard working men, and they are always busy., That is the reason we didn't get their photograph: they were too busy to have it taken. Perhaps we might have gotten a snapshot of each one as he was hurrying to and from Recitation Hall, but we wanted them all in a group. The day we were having photographs taken for the Class Aunual we waited until all recita- tions for the day were done, thinking that, perhaps, the Faculty would have five minutes leisure to pose on the steps of Recitation Hall, but we were sadly mistaken. We watched them, and saw they were all hurrying toward the President's office. This was our chance, for here we would find them all together, and would not have the trouble of looking them up. Two of the Editors hurried to the office, and, boldly walking in, one of them said, in a rather commanding tone, We want to get a photograph of the Faculty to go in our Class Annual For a moment there was absolute silence. The Editors stood looking from face to face, but not a member of the Faculty was looking in their direction. The silence was painful. Soon some grunts of displeasure were heard from different parts of the room; then sparks began to dart from the eyes of a few, and, some being positive and others negative, they set up a merry crackle. Omne of the Editors declared he detected the odor of sulphur, but we do not credit his statement. Perhaps it was ozone, By this time the Editors were backing off toward the door, ready at any minute to turn and run. Just as they reached the door one member kindly informed them that the Faculty were too busy to fool with photographs then, to come some other time. The Editors gladly took this opportunity to retreat; and when they came out they declared that every page in the book might go blank for all they cared. but they would never again ask the Faculty to have a photograph taken. They zaid further that they would rather start out to phatograph the devil himself than the Faculty. Hence, the blank page. 123 Calculus Examination Practical Problems Time Allowed, 22 Min., 13 Sec. dt 1 A large reservoir in a certain Western city has a constant stream of water flowing into it from a large pipe, and is carried off by constant streams through several smaller pipes. a Determine at any instant the depth of water in the reservair allowing for evaporation and expansion, and show the annual consumption of water per capita of the city. b Find the temperature of the water at 10 o'clock on the twentieth of February, 1902. c What is the death rate and total number of dogs in the city ? 2 A man walking along a street passes under an electric light which is suspended from two trolley poles. a Find the length of his shadow and its acceleration at any instant. 6 Find the height and age of the man, and his wife's name. e On what street is he walking, and where is he going? d - Find the candle power of the light. e If a trolley car is approaching at full speed, find the probability that the man will be hit by it. 3 Two ships start from a certain point in the Atlantic Ocean, one sailing due north and the other sailing some other course.

And my mind was greatly disturbed, and troublesome dreams did disturb my slumbers. And in my dreams 1 saw, and behold, a man clothed in a red garment stood beside me ; his visage was terrible to look upon; his eyes were as coals of fire, and flame issued from his nostrils. And T looked, and behold, two horns were set upon his head, and he had a tail as the tail of a lion; his feet were like hoofs of horses, and his hands were like unto the claws of a dragon. In his right hand he carried a fork, and he spread terror and desolation in his path. And T was sore afraid, and trembling seized upon me; and I would fain have fled from his terrible-presence: but a great weakness smote me, and my legs would not bear my weight. And it came to pass that after the monster had looked upon me for a season, he opened his mouth and spoke unto me, saying, Wherefore do ye sleep, O ye of little learning, and why allow ye vour slumbers to conflict with vour lessons? Know ye not that the day will come when ques- tions will be fired at you from three directions at once? What, therefore, will ve do in that day? Thinkest thou that thy cherished ponies and thy clever blufis will prevail against thine enemy at that time? Behold, the day is not far hence when these things shall end, and thou shalt be carried away as by a whirlwind; and mechanics, and mathematics in all their hideous forms, and surveying, and graphic statics, and kinematics, and hydromechanics, and thermodyn- amics, and hydraulics, and all manner of kindred evils shall prevail against thee all the davs of thine existence: yea, even unto eternity. There shall be weeping and wailing, and gnashing of teeth. And lectures incessant shall be delivered unto you, and problems innumerable shall be hurled against you with the force of the thunderbolt. Wo, wo, wo, unto you in that day if ve answer not all questions correctly! Better would it be for thee if a millstone were hanged about thy neck and thou wert cast into the sea. But the time draweth nigh; vea, the hour is now come when these things shall be revealed unto you. Arise, gird about thee thy garment and follow me. Wheresoever 1 go, there shalt 124 thou follow, even unto the ends of the world; yea, even beneath the waters that are under the earth. Arise, and tarry not. And it came to pass that after we had journeyed far, and were much wearied with our travel, we came unto the city of Chicago, wherein lieth the door to hell. And behold, the door being opened, we entered in, and through an adit we descended into the uttermost regions of evil and torment. Wherein shall it profit a man if he rideth his ponies through College? or how shall he be profited if he bluff the professor and pull his leg for a six-spot? The day shall come when his transgressions shall be heaped upon his head and shall afifict him sore, even as coals of fire. Dost thou not know, O yve of little understanding, that ve shall be delivered unto the professor whom thou didst bluff, and that he will compel thee to study and learn all that which thou dost not now know? How much better would it be then, O foolish one, to stop plaving poker and going with the girls, and apply thyself diligently, that thou mayest be delivered from the hands of evil professors ! And it came to pass that as the night waned, and we had journeyed far through the adit, we passed a great door; and lo, we were in the infernal regions. And T looked, and behold, I saw there no great fires to roast souls in, as preachers tell unto people on the earth: neither could I detect the ador of sulphur. And behold, hefore me were two thrones, the one on my right hand, and the other on my left, And on each throne sat a form like unto the form of a man; and I looked, and lo, T recognized them. And my spirit was sore troubled within me, and T would fain have fled from their presence. Then said unto me the evil one who had conducted me thence, Whyfore are ye troubled? Ye know the men before whom ve stand. From this hour forth, vea, even unto eternity, they shall rule over thee and direct all thy ways. The one on thy right hand shall deliver infinite lectures unto thee about mechanics in all its forms; and of friction and lubrication he will cause thee to sty : vea, even unto eternity. And of the multitude of bottles beside him which contain his sam- ples of lubricants, thou shalt he compelled to taste each one and to determine the viscosity thereof. And the one on thy left hand shall teach thee to survey all the earth, and to draw a topograph- ical map of all the lands and seas therein. The instruments on his right hand he shall compel thee to adjust, and to do all thy worl with a precision of one in one hundred thousand. And wo, wo, wo unto you if you are not punctual to the tenth of a second, and if your notes are not perfect. Then was I sore afflicted ; and I fell down upon my face and bit the dust, And I lifted up my voice and cried aloud, sayving, What great transgression have T committed that all this pun- ishment should be cast upon me? Why are these two men, who have been my tormentors in life, to reign over me and persecute me throngh all eternity? Let me be cast into the consum- ing fire, where the worm dicth not and the fire is not quenched; but deliver me from this evil pair! Let all manner of evil come upon me : let me be cut off from my fellow-men and eat grass with the cattle: let the dews of heaven wet me at night, and the sun shine upon me thronghout the day : let me dwell in caves with snakes and scorpions: let the hairs of my head turh gray and drop out with sorrow : let my days be numbered, and filled with bitterness : let the worst punish- ment that the fiends can devise be heaped upon my head: vea, even until 1 sink down and perish in loathiul misery. But deliver me, O deliver me from the infiuence of these two men who have made my life miserable! And it came to pass that when T had uttered these savings I was exceeding faint: and T sank upon the ground to rest, because 1 had not the strength wherewith to support my weight, And lo, some one stood beside me and spoke unto me, and 1 recognized his voice; and 1 looked, and behold, it was my classmate McCabe. And he spake unto me, saving, Show unto me, 1 pray thee, how to find the coefficient of friction on the lubricated surface of an inclined plane, the viscosity of the lubricant being known thereof, Then opened 1 mine eyes and looked, and lo, T was filled with much amaze- ment ; for 1 still sat in my chair, and my book lay upon my lap. And it came to pass that had closed my eves in sleep, and as 1 slept, these things which 1 have now related unto you were revealed to me in a vision; vea, in a vision were they revealed unto me. 128 We Have All Been There Ourselves friend here for the commencement dance.By the way, I must be looking out for an escort for her, and Mr. Spooniman taken off his guard Why, Mrs. Ropem, if Iif youthat is if I might offer myselfI should be delighted ete., ete.

How long wilt thou sleep, O Dutton? When wilt thou arise and do something ? He that is soon angry will deal foolishly; and a man with a full house wins. A soft answer turneth away wrath: but don't try it on an intoxicated man, The Faculty hath made e'.'erjrthii1g' hard: yea, even the long speeches for Commencement. A man's heart deviseth his way ; but the Faculty directeth his steps. Pride goeth before destruction; and a banana peel before a fall.

It was a drear chilly Sunday morning following a reunion of the Gangevery one who has ever lived in the Den is a perpetual member of the Gang, and when reunion time comes around he had rather be a member of the Den Gang than a member of Congress. It was approaching noon on the Sunday morning mentioned, and we had just risen and were getting ready for the weekly chicken dinner at the boarding club. We might have slept all day had it not been for that Sunday chickenthat was an event too important to be missed for the previous night we had lingered late around the table; the cheering glass was passed freely, and amid clouds of smoke the healths of the ahsent members were heartily drunl., As we were dressing on that particular morning Mag' put his head out the window to see what was going on outsideby the way, Mag was the best cook in the Den Gang, and al- wavs superintended the preparation of our spreadsand in a tree not far from the window he saw Bunny, Dressing was postponed for the present, and with sweaters and pajamas, which we got into on our way down stairs, we rushed out on the campus and surrounded the tree in which Bunny sat. Very foolishly he came down from the tree and attempted to escape. Then began an exciting chase, which ended when Bunny ran in an angle of the building and we dropped a coat over him. j We took him up to the Den and put him in a canary cage, but he pushed the bars apart and came out : then we borrowed ? a guinea pig cage from Professor Bishop, and this was Bunny's home for several weeks. Finally, we bought a new cage for him, but he disliked it so that we kept him in it but one day. At last we began to let Bunny out to have romps around the room, and he liked it so well that soon we would leave him out all day. One evening he climbed to the top of a wardrobe, and, finding a pair of foot hall pants there, he made a nest in one of the legs, and ever since this has been Bunny's hed. Bunny now has entire freedom. Every day he can be seen skipping merrily about over the roafs of the buildings: he goes down the fire escape and frolics on the campus; he goes every- where, and always investigates evervthing he finds. He is gnite a friend of Doctor Wolf, and often pays a visit to the Doctor in Chemieal Laboratory, One day while visiting this place his curiosity got him into trouble: he found a hottle, and, wishing to know what was in it, he pulled out the stopper; the hottle contained strong ammoniall Poor Bunny, LITTLE BUNNY is the pet of Devil's Den and the pride of the Dormitory. Bunny's cap- 153 He knows well when it is time for him to be fed, and is never late for his meals. He is as tame and playful as a kitten, and likes nothing better than to find some one willing to play with lim. His greatest delight is to have some one throw him up and let him fall on a bed. What does it matter if he sometimes playfully cuts the buttons from our clothes, or chews up a collar or a dress shirt we have carelessly left out, or cuts the back from a brush, and tears up a book occasionally? He does it all in fun. It is a good lesson for us, and teaches us to keep things where they belong, Bunny has been with us nearly a vear now and has grown dear to us all; and at every reunion in Devil's Den we drink heartily to this toast: Health and long life to Bunny, A PINK TEA IN DEVIL'S DEN. 134 We Beg Leave to Call the Attention Of the Faculty to the fact that there should be cuspidors on the front steps of the Dor- mitory, Of the Commandant to the fact that khaki uniforms are for hot weather.

A Fable Hiden Word Enigma Once upon a time there was a Bishop, who lived in Chester, and had his study high up un- der the Efajves of a Brown house. One day he was out walking with some friends when a Wolfl appeared : but he threw a picee of Wood at it and scared it away. Then, as it was his cus- tom to Neale kneel and pray, he did so now: but his prayer was very Short, and they gave him only a Penny for it. He said the people were Close or they would give him Moore more. Find the names of eleven members of the Faculty in the fable above. HAZA'S SIGN ON THE CAMPUS.

The town had grown so that I hardly recognized it. Delaware College is now the University of Delaware. 1 had lost track of a number of my classmates, and was try- ing to get together as many as possible for the class reunion at Commencement, which was rapidly drawing near, ; My efforts for a time seemed to avail me nothing, until, by the rarest good fortune, 1 learned that Prof. Conover now Dr. Conover was still at Delaware at the head of the Depart- ment of Ancient Languages. This was the best kind of luck, for if any one knew and could tell me where my classmates were, Dr. Conover could. Therefore 1 hunted him up, and stated the object of my quest. The Doctor, who was getting to be quite an old man, did not know what all the fellows were doing, but 1 found out from him that most of them were in business, and that each one was an honor to his profession, The list, as nearly as can remember it, is as follows: Andrews is consulting engineer for a package delivery system, conducted by the great department store of Marshall, MeVey Co., in Svdney, Australia. Groves and Chillas were in business together as the heads of a large chemical trust, which controls the manufacture of odorless hydrogen sulphide, for which there is an enormous demand. H. F. Ferguson and Carnagy are manufacturing immense quantitics of artificial vuleanized insulating compound ; Mr. Ferguson, as senior partner, has worked himself up to his present position mainly by the experience gained in the fiber mills at Newark. The greater part of this insulating compound is used in the huge dynamos made by the Schabinger- MeCabe Electric Company. Several of these dynamos will be shipped to Africa and used in the new power plant for the Cairo and Cape Town Electric Railroad. The engineers of this road 142 are B Ferguson and Frazer, while Crossan is developing the water power and installing the ma- chinery. Mr. Willis, as capitalist and manager, is ably fitted for his work on account of the ex- cellent training he received while manager of the Delaware College Keviemo. Powell and Shallcross are at present engaged in the manufacture of Grape-Force, one of the most popular breakfast foods. This is a very prosperous finm, as Powell is one of the lead- ing experts on refrigeration and food preservation, and Shalleross is ably fitted to manage the manufacturing of the product, owing to a long experience in his father's flour and quartz mills. Folk is at the head of a syndicate which controls all the automohbile and flying machine rac- ing in the United States. Up to a few vears ago Mr. Folk also controlled the horse racing, but this branch of the business became unprofitable, and it was discontinued. Lawton and Kelly have just completed the work of irrigating the great Sahara Desert with water brought by an enormous pipe line from the glaciers of the Himalava Mountains. The greater part of this water will be used on the enormous tropical fruit plantations of Henry Kimble. The Rev. W. H. Briggs, D.D,, LL.D., Ph.D,, is the most famous minister of the Gospel of the present day. His last sermon was preached to a multitude of 11800 souls. The law firm of Truxton Short have just won their important case concerning the right of England to hold the island of Newfoundland. Canada is now United States Territory, the annexation of which was effected mainly through the efforts of Messrs. Truxton and Short. This, I believe, completes the list. 1f any one has been omitted, please notify the Editors and the mistake will be corrected in the next issue. IITT AT 204 Evans . Crossax, Arcer WHEEBLER PoWwELL.

WILLIS, 144 Love's Visit I Loud sang the thrush his joyous note, As dawn came flooding o'er the earth And drove dark glomm from every noak, Giving to Love new birth. So then awoke my dormant heart To strange emotions yet unknown, Flimg wide each portal elosed so long, And Love came looding home, il Alas! that Love should ever come To visit where it will not dwell ; To 'waken passions of the saul, And make a heaven hell! O, could the future be foretold ; Could eruel deceptions but be spurned ; And joy retained to fill the heart As Love's first passion burned ! ITT. 0, let the cold earth cover me lefore T learn my Love is false! O, let the hand of Death appear And still thiz throbbing pulse ! Let me nat live to see the smile That hides from view a cruel heart, That lures to joys to be but lost, Then cruelly turns apart, IV. For life at hest is bt forlorn, And holds no jovs to be misused ; But heaps its woes with fearful wrath On happiness abused, All pleasure's drowned with bitter tears, Love falls and dies a hideous death, And all the world is wrapped in curse With one deceitful breath, '04. e : 4;;' D!'ns:o ;, ?J -y n,$; 3 ?T' JO : 01 o a Mg $ v e 7 L T E eQ 9 A e YaeHnr CLus .

T will tell you. You see it is a task that a person is called upon to perform but once perhaps in a lifetime, and any one who has passed that crisis 1 consider extremely fortunate. A class annual, you know, is different from any other hook in the world: as a rule it is of little value, and vet it requires much time and work and more patience on the part of the Editors than any mortal iz endowed with. If vou write a novel, for instance, you can easily choose a name for it. You select one which is perhaps the subject of the composition, or else, as in the case of a majority of writers, you choose a name that pleases the ear and looks pretty in print, but has no relation whatever to the subject of your work. If you have a few minutes leisure I will tell yvou how this book was named. O, T am sure it will be interesting to you: now just sit down and make vourself comfortable and I will begin. When the Editors were appointed they met in the Editor-in-Chief's room the first night to select a name. At first they talked lightly about it, as if it were only a side issue: but as the hours passed they began to get serious. They mentioned every name they had ever heard, and many that nobody had ever heard before. They began at the first page of Webster's dictionary and went clear through it. Yet there was not one that suited. Then they called Webster names for using such a short vocabulary in his book. Twelve o'clock came, and the meeting adjourned, The book-to-be was still without a name; the Editor-in-Chief's room was in a sorry condition, and all his cigarettes and tobacco were consumed. After this he never had any on hand when the Editors met, We now got down to work, thinking that in due course of time a name might in some man- ner suggest itself or be suggested: but meanwhile we continued thinking and searching, We looked through all the books we could find ; went carefully over dictionaries of proper names but to us they appeared to be dictionaries of im proper namesread the titles of all books in the library; swore because the English language contained so few words, and then turned our atten- 144 tion to other languages. We consulted our friendsI mean our lady friendsevery time we went to see them, thinking they would perhaps suggest a pretty name: but they didn't. Three weeks passed and the book was completed-all but the name. The night before the book was to go to press the Editors met and marched in solemn procession to the Editor-in- Chief's room. Each one seemed to realize that the crisis was at hand, and not a countenance was ruffled with the semblance of a smile. To one who always looks At the humorous side of things, this was indeed a funny scene, The Editors seated themselves around a table and at once plunged into their task., After an hour's fruitless discussion, during which time a multitude of new and unheard-of names were suggested, one of the Editors who is poetically inelined leaned back in his chair, propped his feet on the tableincidentally turning over an inkstand and putting ten pages of copy out of busi- nessand with a dreamy look in his eyes he gazed through the wall into the far-off realms of some other land where there are no Editors, and muttered in an undertone these soul-inspiring words, Adrift upon the ocean broad, A derelict withont a name. Ye gods and little fishes! ! A miracle was wrought! From that solemn meeting broke forth prolonged shouts, execlamations and gjaculations. Bravo! Hurrah! Sic semper tyrannus! E pluribus wnum! mein Gott! The book is named! The Derecicr! Tie Dererior ! That was a commaotion worth witnessing. Evervbody tried to get up at the same time, and the result was that the table was turned wrong side up and fifteen more pages of copy went to the bad, When the one who said those magic words had drawn in his far-ay ay look from the distant place it was rcbtmg and realized what had happened, he arose and mnl very solemnly : Gentlemen, our task is completed; let us arise and sing the lomg meter doxology and have the benediction pronounced, after which we will drink here he drew a pint fask from his inside pocket to the success of Tue DererLicr. 150 PicK Ups In Physical Laboratory Hayes Crummy, have you a match?

ScenERehoboth Beach, one night in August; Ruaton and Miss Rainface are seated on the sand, absorbed in contemplation of the moon, Rurton breaking the silence with his soft coning voice : Tsnt' this a lovely scene, Miss Rainface Miss Rainface Yes, simply gorgeous, and such a lovely fellow, too, you know! She looks toward Henlopen Light. Kuxton delighted : Ah! those beautiful words from such a beautiful mouth! T am in rapture. Do you know, Miss Rainface1 was afraid to-day that T would not get to meet yvou, but 1 persevered and you see what 1 have gained. The fellows used to say T always did what I said 1 would. From the very first I was drawn to vou. T alwavs did like little girls, and voung, very young ones, too, and then I am very fond of contraste, Don't understand the con- trast? Why, don't vou see, I am long and you are short, therefore that is a comtrast. Tsn't that good reasoning? I come from Delaware College. Miss Rainface unconsciously moving closer i Why, is that so? That is splendid! 1 have met some of those boys hefore, and they are such nice boyvs. One thing in particular 1 like so much in them is, that they never folk about the pirls. And then, I certainly do admire College menmen like voutall, strong and well-built,. You are not quite as big as some 1 have met, but nearly so. But tell me all about your College life. What do vou do up there Fuxton also moving closer : 0h, we do Iots of things. 1 will tell youbut before 1 begingimime a mateh. Miss Rainface astounded : A match! Gracious, Mr. Ruxton, T don't carry matches around with me Fuvton very much confused Excuse me, excuse me, Miss Rainface, the mere men- 156 tion of College carries me back to my old habits. DBut let us on to CollegeI like to talk about that. Well, in College, we do lots of things, or in other words, I do lots thingsnow, there Miss Rainface interrupting him : Of course, you played foot ball, didn't you, Mr, Ruxton Ruxton hesitatingly : Whynonot very much. You see, when T left home to enter College, I was such a pretty boy that I thought I would not play foot ballI might ruin my face Miss Rainface scanning his face closely : Ah! I see, you have plaved, then. furton: Why, no indeed! What makes you say so? Miss Rainface 0h, nothing. And do you play base hall 3 Ruxton: No, somehow, I have always hesitated to He draws a pipe from his pocket and shoving it toward his mouth, says in a methadical manner: Got any North Carolina, Bull Purham, Marvlandany kind will do? Miss Rainface drawing back : What's that, Mr. Ruxton ? Kuxton catching himself in time and mumbling confusedly Yesnoyesnowhy, as 1 said, 1 don't play base ball. Miss Rainface aside : What a strange fellow Aloud. And do you participate in the track meets up there, Mr. Ruxton Ruxton delighted and eager to make himself right again There you have it, Miss Rainface, that's my house! Becoming more and more excited. Why, Miss Rainface, T can actually beat the whole Callege there; T am a wonder in that. can run a hundred yards in 31 secands; put the shot five feet nine inches, and throw the hammer thirteen feet. What do you think of that Miss Rainface sweetly That is wonderful: and what else do vou do up there? You must be an important man. Kuxrton more excited Ah! now we are approaching it. T do society, society with a big 5, too, am a ladies man, and the sport of the College. Some say that China Bill' has me beaten, but he hasn't. The only thing is, that he buys his clothes in Iron Hill, and T get mine in Newark. Iron Hill is a little higher, you see. But to return to society. Now there is Tel- sia.and Melva, they are the swellest girls in Newark, except the girl T am rushingEwi Flor- ing Miss Rainface tums to notice some one passing, anid does not hear the last name- she is the finest in town. Miss Roinface; Yes, I guess there are some nice girls in Newark. I remember but one with whom I have ever come into contact, and that was about a vear ago. She was a very small, dark haired girl, with what we girls call a shower-bath' complexion. She came to our house while mother was in Florida, and- Ruxton aside : Who can it be? Miss Roinface asked to see me. T took such an interest in her that T requested her to remain with us for three weeks, when mother wounld return. Dut she left in one week, and she was the best ccok we have ever had. Ruxton Then certainly I don't know her. Miss Rainface No, I don't expect you do. Her name was Ewi Floring. and-oh, her cakes werewhy, where's Mr. Ruxton? Where can he he? She looks all around, but fails ta see him. What a strange fellow, and he has left his coat, too! She picks it up and something falls out of a pocket. Why, what's this? A box of cigarettes, andwhat can he have to fill his other pockets s0? Her curiosity gets the better of her, and she emptics their contents on the sand. What a lot of thingsthis must be tobaceo, and this package, ton, and thisand thismy; how many packages are there? And here is a box of matchesand an- otherand still anothershe stops counting and thinks awhile. Why do von suppose he was always asking me for matches, tobacco, and-gracions, what a strange fe Ihm he must be what brother eallswhat is it1 know-aoh, yesa bummer, Curtain. 158 NicKnames The subject of students nicknames is always an interesting one to the students' friends, and frequently one is at a loss to explain the origin of some of them. The following is a case in point, being a part of a conversation overheard by the writer Miss B.: C, Mr. Wright! do tell me about vour nicknames. T heard vou had so many, and I do so want to know why thev call vou Scratcher. Great Minds Dir. 12 Gladstone also exhibited the power Napoleon hadthat of going to sleep at any time, Dutton : Why. 1T can do that, Docter. FHEEE JUNIORS WHO WERE ABSENT WHEN THE CLASS PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN, De Alumnis N arranging this work we have not attempted to trace the addresses and present occupations I of graduates prior to 1870. The list we give here is correct, as far as we were able to make it s0; but some of the graduates of even recent years have been completely lost sight of. In such eases we give the last known occupation and residence, We realize that this list will be of interest to the Alumni only, but as the hook will have its largest circulation among the Alumni, we feel justifiable in including the list in our hook, Many graduates of Delaware have reached the zenith of their respective professions, and others hold positions of trust and honor in affairs, both State and National. We head the list of graduates with a few of those who have won distinetion. 1-'R. Ih, Haxed Aoxew, ltlle ffuunuu sucgeon and medical writer. w .LuI K. L:-'-L'HET.
