Well, we are somewhat like that negro: we do not in- tend to be sorry for anything that is ar is not in this book until we are catched. Contrary to custom, we make no exeuses : we are neither M and, npon being asked how long he had been sorry, replied : Since 1 painfully aware of the hook's many shortcomings nor is the book the result of greatly limited time's labor we have done our hest., We have endeavored not only to picture the awe-inspiring deeds and mis- deeds, the wonderiul eloquence, and the valorant athletic feats of the members of the Class of 1907, but to accurately portray student life at Delaware and to describe our various student organizations, Evervthing has been written in a spirit of good fellowship; but, if perchance, some one finds grounds for ofense gets sorethe editors will be pleased to meet them at 1 A, M. on June 23, be- hind the gymnasium first come, first served. To all who have helped to make this book what it is we give our sincerest thanks; to the Class of 1900 we express the wish that it and every other succeed- ing class publish a Derelict; and to the brave men and comely maidens that buyeth a copy the editors hestow their best wishes, and we hope that this book will serve to arouse pleasant memorics of the Class of rgo7 and its friends long after we have disappeared from the campus of Dear Old Delaware.

Newark is connected with Philadelphia, Wilmingtona, Baltimore and Washing- ton by the Pennsylvania, and Baltimore and CYhio milroads, and there are few points in Delaware or in the Peninsubar counties of Marviand distant from the village more than four hoursfhy rail. The region about Newark, is one of the moset healthful and beautiiul on the Atlantic slope. The site of the College, near the center of the town, is one of unusual charm. The village hias a supply of ex- cellent 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 studens in May of the following vear, 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 Pennsylvania and Marvland, when by a succession of misfortunes, she was forced in the Spring of lH:-.lJ 1o close her l.l.l..llll':'u. Eleven vears later the College was resuscitated, bhaving meanwhile been designated by Act of the Delaware Legislature as heneficiary 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 especially devoted to the teaching of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arnts, and Military Tactics. This Act of Congress, commonly known as the Morrill Bill, from its originator, Senator Morrill of Vermont, declares that the Colleges made heneficiary wnder its provisions shall 17 have as their leading ohject, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including Military Tacties, to teach such branches of learning as are related to Argiculture and the Mechanic Arts in order to pro- mote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursnits and professions of life, In consideration of the designation and estab- lishment of Delaware College as the institution te be provided by the State of Delaware in accordance with the provisions of the Aet of Congress in guestion, a joint and equal interest in the grounds, buildings, libraries and vested funds of the College proper was conveyed to the State of Delaware, and equal represen- tation upon the Board of Trustees was given the State. The Board of Trustees consists of fifteen members, representing the ori- gimal Board, and fifteen members on the part of the State appointed by the Goy- ernor, five from each of the three counties. The Governor of the State and the President of the College are members ea-officio. In 1888, by Act of the Drelaware Legislature, the Delaware College Agricul- tural Experiment Station was established as a department of the College under the provisions of an Act of Congress approved March 2, 1887, commonly known as the Hateh Bill, appropriating $15.000 annually for the purpose of acquir- ing and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical in- formation on subjects connected with agriculture and tc promote scientific in- vestigation and experiment respecting the principles and applications of Agri- cultural Science under direction of the College or Colleges established in each of the States and Territories in accordance 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 20, 1800, which appropriated for one vear then current $15,000 to each State for the Land Grant Colleges and pro- vided for the increase of the appropriation by $1,000 each year uniil it should reach $25,.000 a vear, Delaware College receives annually four-fifths of this ap- propriation, 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. 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 hy the increased income provided by this last Act, Delaware Col- lege has, within the past few vears, enlarged her corps of instructors and greatly increased her equipment of apparatus and appliances, so that she is now vastly hetter enabled than ever before in her whole history 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 structure origimally the sole College building for all pur- poses and still occupied, not only for lodgings, but also for laboratories, the old library, the literary societies and recitation rooms: Recitation Hall, a handsome brick building erected by the State in 1891 ; the wood-working and machine shop, where are housed machinery and apparatus for a thorough practical course of in- struction i the mecnanic arts, I8 RECITATION HALL 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 laboratory adjoining, in the rear campus, and sev- eral buildings used for storage and other purposes in the conduct of the various lines of experimental work. A considerable part of the rear campus iz occupied as an athletic field, which affords excellent facilities for out-door sports and games. The College buildings are heated by steam and lighted by electricity and are supplied with water by the town water works.

The sleep- ing rooms were made comfortable and attractive, and the Ormatory was remodeled and redecorated so that it is now one of the handsomest aunditoriums in the State. New fronts, corresponding in style 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 in- creased the number of sleeping rooms, and furnished handsome apartments for recitation rooms and laboratories. In 1yos the Delaware Legislature appropriated the sum of $15.000 to Dela- ware College which has been applicd to the building of a gymnasium. In the basement of this building are found shower baths, plunge Taths and a large swim- ming pool, with lockers for the use of the students, The main floor serves as a drill hall and gymnasium, and contains a running track, suspended from the roof trusses, The Legistature of 1903 appropriated $15,000, payable in two equal annual 19 instalments, and with the instalment already received the workshops have been greatly enlarged and are now entirely adequate jor the present needs of the Lall Tuition is free to all students from the State of Delaware, so that the College constitutes a part of our system of free public instruction. She places within reach of the voung men of the State a thorough collegiate traming with no other cost than that of living and the provision of necessary books and a few siderable fees to cover expenses incurred by the institution. Her work is laid out liberal learning and the practical vsefulness of the applied sciences are egually emphasized in her scheme of education. While, in pursuance of the special aims of her organization, stress is laid upon those de- partments which build up good citizenship and useiul manhood, the place so wisely provided in the fow o of the Land Grant Colleges is given to the refining graces amdd amenities of the older learning.

In a few short months the class of 1906 will be no more. lts members will be divided, seattered: each following his own course in life, each independent of the cther. Some of us may never see one another again. One of our number, when his work here is completed, will return to his home in the State of Montana, Others go to Maryland and Southern Delaware. Some will temain in Newark and some in Wilmington. But when duty calls, when the pro- fessions to wiich we have siruggled 2o long to attain bid us come, we shall be scattercd far apart. ; On Thursday, September 11th, 1902, thirty-two young men matriculated at Delaware College and formed the Class of '06. O that number twenty remain, Alter a short time spent in getting acquainted with one another and with their surrcundings, they began their college carcer. Gradually they absorbed the in- terests of college life, joined the societies, tried for positions on athletic teams, warred with the Sophomores, and delved into the studies prescribed for them. They held a meeting in the old gymnasium and elected the following officers for the first year: PresidentEdward D, Neill, Jr, Vice-PresidentWilllam T. Moore, Seerciary-13, De Clifford Paffenberger, TreasurerCharles W, Clash. HistorianGeorge Farnan, They engaged in two fierce fights with the Sophomore Class, underwent a food deal of Lazing, painted their numerals in all the prominent places in town, and did all the things a freshman class is supposed to do during the first few manths of its life. Then the members of the class turned their attention to more imgortant things, Always keeping in mind the object of their college career, thoze sa inclined went in for athletics and were markedly successful. Three made postions on the Varsity Foot Dall Team, three on the Base Ball Team and sey- eral plaved on the foot hall and base ball serub teams. One was appointed As- sisiant College Librarian and held that position thronghout the four vears of his college life. A large number joined the college Y. M. C. A. and of these, one was clected Treasurcr, another Business Manager, and two were sent by the associa- tion to the convention at Baltimore, The College Orchestra, the Mask and Wig Club. the Banjo and Mandolin Club and bath literary societies obtained members from the class. Then a Freshman Foot Ball Team and a Base Ball Team were organized and played cames with the upper classes. But for one thing in par- ticular is the Class of o6 lamous. That is the introduction of basket-ball into the list of sports at Delaware. Unaided by the Athletic Asssociation, a Freshman Basket Dall team was formed which played three games in the college gvmnas- inm, seven in Wilmington, Del.. one in Philadelphia, Pa., and one in Consho- 37 hocken, Pa. With this as a beginning and in the face of continued opposition, the class worked, advocated, and struggled for a college hasket ball team during the four years of its existence, until success at last crowned its efforts, and in its last year it beheld a Varsity Dasket Ball Team, recognized and supported by the Athletic Association, and playing games with other colleges, When the members returned for their Sophomore vear they found, to their sorrow, that the class had lost five good men. Howard Crossan, Joseph B, Fos- ter, Bavard Vandegrift, Garland Hunter and Robert Parvis had left us and en- tered other walks in life. The twenty-seven that remained held a class meeting and clected officers for the Sophomore vear. They were: PresidentGeorge Farnan. Vice-PresidentHarry 5. Lawson. SecretaryEdmund James. TreasurerCharles W. Clash. Their next duty was to greet the incoming Freshmen and teach them their proper place in college. This they accomplished in several fierce class rushes, notably in the famous Bath-Room Fight, in which in a little room about ten feet square, with all three shower-haths running and the bath-tubs filled, the two classes fought and strugeled, soaked through and through, until the President of the Class of 'oy came to the Sophomore President and requested him to stop the fight and call the affair a draw, which he did. The Freshmen now having ac- quired the proper respect for upper-clazs men, the Sophomores turned their at- tention to other things. The athletic teams, the clubs and the societies still re- ceived their quota of men from the class. In addition, the College Singles Tennis Tournament was won by one member, and in the first Inter Class Track and Field Meet ever held at the college, amother established the record for the one mile run. The vear ended with th class making rapid progress toward success, The class hegan the Junior year with a loss of six more members. Harry Lenderman, Leonard Vannerson, De Clifford Poffenberger, Edmund James, Du Bois Murphy, and H. M. Stephens all resigned, some to enter other colleges, the rest to accept positions, Joseph Foster, unable to remain away from Alma Ma- ter, returned and re-entered the class, The twenty-two that composed the class elected officers for the Junior vear. PresidentCecil C, Fulton, Jr. Vice-PresidentGeorge 1. Lovett. Secretary--Harry A CUramer. TreasurerMaynard T, Griffith. This was the pleasantest vear of our college life. Free from the turmaoil and strife of the first two vears, equally exempt from the cares and responsibilities of Seniors, we led a happy, care-free existence during our third vear. Ours was the last and most magnificent Junior Promenade ever given in the old dance hall, as was the Farewell Ball given to the Senior Class, Honors poured in upon us, Our members were elected officers of the Y. M. C. A, and of the literary socicties. Three were made editors of the Review. The Class Tennis Team won the championship of the college. One of our number again won the college singles tennis championship. In the Inter-Class Track and Feld Meet, another estab- lished the record for the shot-put, and still another won the running high jump. The Chairman of the 'o5 Class Day Exercises was selected from among our num- ber. Toward the end of the vear our studies demanded more and more of our I8 time, Dut one short vear of our college life remained to us and we realized that our position in after life depended entirely upon our efforts in this and the fol- lowing vear. Therefore, when we became men we put away childish things. Ar the beginning of our Senior vear we lost one member and gained another. Chur friend and class-mate Clarence A. Wyatt left us, and his departure was re- gretted deeply by his fellow students, Paul F. Pi7, who was unable by reason of illness to go out with the Class of 1gos, we received with open arms, During this year we have been obliged to devote ourselves to study and hard work, but we have also kept up our interest in college affairs. We resurrected the College Engineering Society wlhich had almost suspended operations and placed it on a firm basis. The highest offices in the athletic teams and college organizations are held by members of the Class of 'ob in this our Senior yvear. And now our college lile is drawing to a close. Soon we will depart from these halls in which we have lived for four long, happy years, and which we have grown to regard almost as our home, We have played together, studied to- rether, fought together, failed together and succeeded together. We have grown to know one another better than we will ever again know our friends, Now that the time of parting is drawing near, we value more and more the associations and friendships we have made here. To the college, to the Faculiy, to our fellow- students, and to our friends, we will soon be called wpon to say ' Farewell. Historian. INTRODUCTION TO MEMBERS A short distance outside the town of Newark, on the summit of a low hill stands, in the midst of a vast garden, a white stone building of unusual beauty. It is built of great blocks of rough stons which give it the magnificent appearance of a university or a wealthy hospital, True to its appearance, it is a house of rest, a home for the weary. In it twenty young and promising graduates of Delaware College are being treated for weakening of the brain, caused by excessive study and over-work during their last vear at college. It is a sanitarium for the curable insane, On a beautiful afternoon in the middle of summer three carriages were driven swiftly up the broad avenue to the entrance and from them eleven young mea alighted. They were Babe Crossan of Newark. Jesse James of Ocean View, Del, Harry Lenderman of Wilmington. Bunny Murphy of Glyndon, Md., Rip Parvis of Wilmington, Garland Hunter of Cherry Hill, Md., De Clif- ford Poffenberger of Newark, H. M. Stephens of Darby, Pa., Bayvard Xamltmh of MeDonough, Del., and L. K. Vannerson and Clarence Wvatt of Wilmington. All had been memherg of the Class of 1906 of Delaware College, but had re- signed at different times during its four vears of life, Now they had come in re- sponse to an appeal from the superintendent of the sanitarium, who hoped that the sight of the familiar faces would tend to bring back the wandering minds to their natural balance. They were met at the door by the superintendent who, after greeting them warmly, proposed that they should start immediately on their round of visits. They eagerly assented and with mingled feelings entered the cells of the follow- ing men. ko CHARLES WRIGHT CEASH, C ssical, 1st Lieutenant, Iu arguing, ree, the parsow swn'd hiv sbilf, For e'en thaugh vanguished, e conld arpwe seill.

Ge-he, ge-hi, ge-hi, ge-heven ! Delaware ! Delaware ! 1907 ! 52 ad HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CI.ASS s Maost things great, whether natural or artificial, spring up and grow in si- lence, but the career of the Class of 'o7 began with a rush. Solomon's temple went up without noise, no sound of saw or hammer being heard. The tender shoot sprouts from the acorn and in the gloomy woods grows noiselessly into the mighty oak until the woodman appears with his ax. Then is heard a chopping and a chipping, a eracking, groaning, crashing, heavy thud and then an echoing thru the solitudes of the forest. The tree falls and great is the sound thereof, In the manner of the oak the Class of 'oy did not begin ; therefore may its finis be the reverse of the oak's finis. May it retire in contentment and the calmness of satis- fiecd maturity. May it retire at the close of its course from college activities as becomes its dignity, carrying with it in the storehouse of the mind the hard- earmed knowledge of four eventful and fruitful years. Such a prophecy is a natural inference to be drawn from its beginning, It began with a rush. Five Freshmen early on the scene of action had at the close of the day, which opened the fall term of 'og4, assembled themselves in the well-known Den of the Devils on Poverty Row. Night grew on apace, These five so-called freshies, as they themselves relate, then heard a great noise like the rushing of mighty winds, and upon peeping out at a crack in the door saw what appeared to be a clowl hearing down wpon them thri the dark amd dimly lighted aisle. Nearer and nearer it came. Now it seemed to be an en- tangled mass of howling monsters, and again a large band of mighty guerrilas. But at last it drew so near that our Freshies saw it to he what it wasa bunch of twenty Sophomores, ranging all the way up from big Jimmy Neal all the way down to little Bunny Murphy, and the famous wild westerner from Montana, at the head of them all. Our class will allow its listorian to say no more. Let another man praise thee and not thine own lips, so saith the Seriptures. Let the present Seniors tell how five Greeks held the pass against twenty Persians, Let them tell how this lucky fighting grit evinced in the beginning was ever made manifest in chapel door fghts, in field battles and in locker-room tussels. Let the present Sophomores remember thru what discipline they were put by a class which they outnumbered in units only. But the historian feels justified to dwell no longer upon the Junior's fighting qualities, which, at most must ever remind man of his relation to the brute. He has endeavored to find out what constitutes a college class ideal. With which end in view he has consulted all sorts of professors, from the day-laborer who pro- fesses to carry the hod to the roof of the new gymnasium to the real specific pro- fessor in his drawing room. These from a careful compilation and comparison ot different opinions are the chief characteristics of an ideal class: 1st. A class should be studentified.Faculty. zndl. A class must have a literary inclination.Dr. Dawson, rd. A class should he athletical Mr, Mannakee, 4th. A class should have pure morals.Dr. Rowan, sth., A class should have businesslike principlesPrinter of Review and dance caterer. 6th. A class should be sportified Newark Girls, 5 Now, if these are the chief functions of a college course, then that class is ideal which performs them all and not one or two to perfection. To stretch your head way up high on the athletic field, Sophs, and to court the favor of the reci- tation room, ye inexperienced Freshmen, is not to make of yourselves an ideal class. It is far from that. The College has many empty sleeves. Stick your limbs into cach and every one of them. That is what the Juniors, whom you have reason to admire, have already done. Have they not set you a good pace, one which is rather original with them? To speak of all six of these qualities residing in a class is, O so fine. But how much finer when we are able to give vou their embodiment in tvpical ex- amples. The Faculty calls for students. We give them Rossell, a mathematical giant, a burner of the midnight oil. We give them Singles, the student of his- tory, mighty in memory. We give them many others, some not treading alto- gether the trodden paths, but vor now and then hreaking out and making their way thru briars and brambles Dir. Dawson asks us for Lterary men and we respond with Perkins and his whaole system of smaller stars that revolve around him. Mr. Mannakee makes a yearly call for athletes. We say with pride, there Voss, Messick and Francis. He takes them and they serve him with distinction. Dir. Rowan emphasizes the most important of all, him who lays stress apon not so much the outer as the inner, not so much upon what is material and trans- ient as upon what is spiritual and eternal. The Y. M. C. A. must have leaders, We supply it with Cann and Hudson, Those with whom students have commercial dealings require business men with whom to deal. There is Keppel, who can run a boarding club in the face of opposition, and Francis, who can run one without the authority so to do, Sixth and lastly, the Newark girls demand sports, There is Blake and Bill Francis and Hidgely, The failure to mention our other great men in their great ways is due only to the lack of space. FEnough has been aid to vindicate the well-roundness of our body, No rib bones are shining anvwhere. This task having been com- pleted, the historian would now in triumph lay down his pen were it not for the fact that these come wading thru the tears of his eyes the phantasms of those who have left us. Bell, Bond, Cooper, Scott and Russell have left with us the pleasant memory of their association, Their interests once wound up by the thread of class spirit with our interests can never be disentangled therefrom. We alone continue to hear the burdens of collegiate duties some of which we have taken prematurely upon us. But with our Titon load upon our shoulders we march boldly on beating step with the step of time, confident in'our charac- ter and assured as to our reputation. Historian.

Tt is strc mgly attracted hy work of all kinds, and has thos far L:l!'l:l::1jil.'lll.'-.1 only a few fAlunks, On the base-ball field it fre- gquently combines with the home te and gives off rans, which never fail to gain the applanse of the ladies. In class meetings Homewood usually. when hrought contact with a disenssion, precipi- tates good advice and brilliang, well erystallized idcas. We regret that the air sex have not given ws more time to study this interesting element, concerning which we would appreciate any data from them.

When first observing the Junior Class, our at- tention was attracted by the peculiar action of one of the elements, which ammused itself by cansing the tuft of hair on its head to move up and down the forehead eral of us, who were a little superstititions, were inclined to believe that the bad man was masquerading in our midst, but this clement has so righteously eonducted itself during e past few years that we are ahsolotely certain that it is not the devil and is y Hudson. When hrought in eontact with Tre. Wolf much noise i iven off ; Sussex county, the land of apple jack, is spon precipitated in the form of a joke, and. when the coml ion i broken, Hudson's face is invariably covered with the Hudson laugh, and the word dee-lighted is given off. This element has exhibited strong affinities in athletics and in studies, Its affinity for girls is also noticeable. It i pumored that this element, in combination with Russell, has or will precipits entitled Peaf, Short.

Most of us were strangers to each other, and yet we become the warmest friends before half an hour had elapsed. Struggling and tussling against our common foe, we learned to help each other and to be the best of iriends. We achieved our first victory when we first met the Sophomores, and as a result the Freshman Class which loved the nu merals o8, were inspired to stick together and fight every night, Each day our class grew stronger and with out president, Charles . Brown, we passed thru the first three months, acquiring new ideas, and endeavoring to do what the hest of other freshmen classes had done. We painted our numerals over town and, indeed, so prominently were they placed that even the Faculty was concerned. We plaved the Sophomores foot-ball with eleven active men, but these were worn out in the second half and the result was 8ix to nothing in favor of the Sophomores. This was counted as a victory in defeat since we were scored upon but once by a much heavier team, and one with a year's practice and experience which proved to be of great value to them. The time of greatest excitement as well as enjoyment was now over, and when we returned after Christmas holidays little enmity existed between the two lower classes, Homer W. Colling was elected president for the remainder of the year. The first event of importance was the selection of th track team to tun at Penngylvania. J. Frank Baldwin and Homer W. Collins were chosen from our number to represent the College, with Hynson Sibley as substitute, so that our freshman class sent two of the four relay men to represemt Delaware in the prin- cipal track event of the year, Ohar representative in the inter-sociely debate of nineteen five was Clarence Killen. Ewell Atkins and Clarence Killen added a victory by defeating the Sopho- more tennis team, but we lost to the Juniors in the finals Next was base-ball. In this we alzo took part. . Baker Taylor played third base for the YVarsity team and also made a good addition to our class team as captain. In the series of games played for the alumni cup we played in the finals with the class of 'os, owing to the fact that the Seniors won from the Juniors, and the Sophomores forfeited the game to us becaunse of a misunderstanding, FEx- perience told in the finals and the Seniors won, Tite reni part we playved in athletics was sliown later in the field meet on June twentieth, nineteen hundred and five, when we took the meet with points to spare. It was the first time in the history of the classes of Delaware when a freshman class was so successiul. Three of the four medals awarded for break- ing records fell to the honor of 'o8. Homer W, Collins reduced the time for a quarter mile and increased considerably the length of the broad jump, while 8 Frank Baldwin won the hali mile, breaking the record for that distance. First place in the quarter, first and second place in the half mile, first place in the relay go to tell the tale, We also made good in other feats. Earl Newman was scored in the mile, Ellis Armstrong tied for a second place in the pole vault, Francis stuckert tied for second place in the high jump, Armstrong was second in the hundred and twenty yard hurdles, Robert Ward was third in the shot put, Har- vey Day was first in the hammer throw, and Homer Collins was second in the hundred vard dash. Having noted these numerous contests of those loval to 'of, it is easy to see that in the majority of cases we were successiul, and especially where natural ability could possibly overbalance the result of experience. Success was'in our mends when we left in June, and no happier class ever leit Old Delaware's cam- pos than when we departed for our summer vacation. At the first opening of the doors of our beloved institution, twenty-six of our original thirty-eight focked l:ck like Lirds in spring, and, with William C. Diraper as our president, we met the Freshmen and won. The result of the rush, stated in the papers as fifteen to eleven in our favor hardly indicates the true state of the beaten Freshmen, Freshmen with dirty backs and afraid to yell their numerals goes to show a greater victory than fifteen to eleven for 'o8, s the vear rolled on more of our classmates returned, and with the four new members who joived us we poobered thirty-twoeasily too many for the Class of og, who cannot claim a single victory, Foot-ball was the first sport into which we entered. We elected Ji Baker Taylor captain of our team which finished with a clear record. Our class Fame with the Freshmen we won to the tune of eleven to nothing, which was as much as was expected in the mud, Nt so much to the inferior work of the team of og, but to the fact that our men were in the pink of condition, do we attribute our suceess. Five of the Delaware Varsity eleven were inclwded in the Sophomare team, and it was not to be expected of the Freshmen to prevent such a backfield irom reaching the goal posts at least twice, Three of the Varsity basket-ball five formed this year, are 'o8 menIHarry Miller, Frank Baldwin and Earl Newman, tur great interest in athletics is thus clearly shown, but something must be mentioned concerning intellectual powers. Harry Augustus Miller is our poet and his ability along that line has heen manifested by several poems in the Re- view and other college papers. Two of our number took part in the inter-so- cicty debate, and William Draper, Earl Newman. and Ewel Atkins formed the number wlio contested for 1ke Alumni Oratorical Prize, 'o6. A contrast between this class history and those of the past may be evident in that this consists of events related as they actually occurred, while previous ac- counts have pointed to the entire success of the class under consideration without guarding against exaggerations and deceptive statements, And now our class is composed of twenty-four membess, the most of whom are Hosges and the rest use Hosses, Historian.

FRESHMEN The Freshman, innocent and meek, His well worn hook he stares in, And wonders at the knowledge of All those who've gone before him. 53 HMAN CLASS THE FRES The Class of 1909 OFFICERS Bt e e R R William Floyd Wingett Vice-President . .......c0vnvne....

When order was called at Chapel that morning, there were about thirty members in the Freshmen benches, and what a swarthy buneh of farmers they were! After the reading of Scriptures all were invited to join in the Lord's prayer, and oh, didn't those Freshmen, every one, pray as they had never praved before! for fhi:.'v' had heard Ellrt'?:fiautl:.'. after erri!..'in;..-'f in Newark, of an .:.rgaufz;.. tion of Unknown Quantities, the Sophomores, who were to wipe them from the face of the earth. Chapel exercises over, the Freshies proceeded out onto the campus where these unknown beings were in wait. For a few minutes there did seem to be an opposition of forces, but hardly were the new faction of the College heated up to a pitch of real fighting, when those supposed terrors, the Sophs, were every one on their knees, humbly beseeching mercy. This was indeed a surprise to the upper classmen, who had all confidence in the Sophomores, and the sight was hardly to be realized and believed. After this initiation into the College the new arrivals reported to the various doctors and professors whom they viewed with a certain air of suspicion and mistrust; for these were Freshmen, and particular about making new acquaint- ances. This first day of struggles and trving ordeals gotten over with, the Fresh- men adjourned to their rooms in the Dormitory, to nurse their bruises and enjov a night's rest. But they had forgoiten the Sophs. Al that nizht and for sue- ceeding nights, they were to amuse their most honorable rivals, Although loath to do so, they displayed to the Sophomores their talents in dancing, singing and boxing, as well as entertaining by various other stunts. ut they put up an ar- gument before they demonstrated their various abilities,. They were Freshmen and they upheld the honor of the class, but the odds were too rreat acainst ghem and they were forced to vield to these indignities. Evervthing went along simoothly now with the new class for several weeks, Peace was made with the professors and the time spent in study, until, on Oe- tober 10, Mclntire, thinking things dull, forgot his dignity as a Freshman and got barreled. This worthy Freshman on that aiternoon was invited by several Sophomores to stroll down to the Post Office, several blocks from the College. There several other Sophs and a barrel awaited him, A great resistance was offered, but de- spite Mac's great size he was unahle to hold out against his numerous oppon- ents, by whom he was forced into the barrel and made to march up Main street to the College campus, where his picture was to be taken. i But was his photo taken? , It would have taken one second for the snap shot, but it took only hali a second for twenty-five Freshmen to strip for action. Well, the picture was not taken, and it took about fifteen minutes of rough aml tumble to smash the barrel and deliver Mac. The Sophomores now knew that they had men to deal with and started no new wrinkles, so it became necessary for the Freshmen to take the lead and make things lively, which they did to perfection, introducing into the College an entirely new custom, Un Monday, COketober 13, Wilmington, Newark and towns in lower Dela- ware were surprised by peculiar posters appearing on telegraph poles and sign boards announcing the sale of Sophomores, by auction, Things were excitement and expectation in Newark for the next three days. All kinds of doings were booked, Sophomores were seen in all parts of the Dor- mitory taking physical culture exercises, At Monday's dinner, the whole Sapho- more Class went to the training table ; smoking was cut out and the men put un- iler strict orders by the training master. At 1245 Wednesday the Sophs, in the best physieal condition went to look for satisfaction from the Freshies, but, strange to relate, a telephone message harl been received from Wilmington to the effect that a Freshman was critically il at his home in that city, and out of due respect to him, the Freshmen were forced to take the next train to Wilmington, postponing reluctantly their husiness proposition of that afternoon, Sa much for this rival, though good natured class spirit, Germs of foot-ball entered the blood of hoth elasses. The annnal Freshman-Sophamore game was coming on and Hot Air was the prevalent faction of the College. Odds were ahout five 10 two on the Sophomores, because of their great weight. A general walkaway was expected but despite the muddy condition of the grounds, which handicapped the Freshmen still more, because of their light weight, the Sopho- mores found themselves up against a strong argument and the score was held down to 11 to o in favor of the Sophs. This result was certainly satisfactory to the I reshmen and they deserved a great deal of credit So far the Freshman Class had made a good standing in the College, and had won the approval of the Faculty and the upper classmen, but the event, of which they are duly proud, was their banquet. On January 26, the whole Freshman Class oceupied box seats at the Garrick Theatre, Wilmington. After witnessing the show they proceeded to the Clayton House, where supper was prepared for them. At eleven o'clock thirty Freshmen stood at their places around the table and after an introductory address by the class President sat down to an excellent meal. Witticisms and jollity helped along the feast wonderfully, and as the hours of the morning advanced so did the Yspirits of the students. After supper toasts were offered and many suggestions and srood wishes were offered towards the upholding of the College. Thus ended the first half of the Freshman venr or the Class of 1909, and on the following Monday every student was in his place ready to settle down to hard, carnest study, As a whole, this class is very promising. So far it has been represented in everything of importance around the College. Three Freshmen received Vs for playing on the varsity foot-ball team. The hasket-ball team is greatly strength- .1 ened by a Freshman captain. The base-ball nine will be well represented and good material is offered by the class for the track team. The Freshmen also have an excellent look-in for tennis and hope to win the banner from the crack team of o6, who now hold it. The Freshman class is well represented in both societies, and are doing good work, Also the glee club and orchestra are composed largely of Freshmen among whom there are talents in this line. Nor are the Faculty ignorant of the presence of this class for excellent work is being done at Kecitation Hall, and excellent material is offered for the moulding of engineers, civil, mechanical and electrical; also of good men in the scientific and classical line, tut the most important faction of the class is the mutual spirit which pre- vails. There is an air of good fellowship and helpfulness as well as a lovalty to the College through which the institution of Delaware may occupy. a higher place among the leading institutions of the country, MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1909 T JAMES BARBER ADKINS, C.

This society largely takes the place of a fraternity in our college life, and to be onee an Athenaean is to be one always, as the loyalty and pride of our old members show.

Whitford Serniich T, Kimhle Cacil Watts The Delta Phi Laterary Society The Delta Phi Literary Society was organized January 14, 1835, or about eight months after the college was first opened. From that date until the pres- ent time, the soctety has never waned, but has ever continued to be a useful and necessary adjunct to the institution, The college records show that on the 17th of November, 1834, the Faculty resolved to recommend to the students the iormation of literary societies, and adopted conditions upon which they should be organized. The language im- plies that in accordance with the general custom in colleges, two such societies were contemplated, The students held meetings for this purpose, but refused to submit to the conditions which the Faculty had imposed. Two societies, che Delta Phi and the Athenaean were, however, organized and began doing work without the approval of the Faculty. Such state of affairs lasted but a short time, when the restrictions were modified, and the societies were regularly organized and Lecame recognized bodies. During its long and interesting career the Delta Phi Society has had on its rolls men who have since been foremost in State and National affairs; men who have stood highest in their respective professions, men who have heen an honor to the society, to the college and to the State, The sacieties held regular weekly meetings, and at the present time Wed- nesday of each week is set apart by th Faculty for this purpose. Previons to last vear the length of time for society work was short and at an inconvenient period of the day; but now there is ample opportunity for lengthy discussion and earnest work, and this recent action on the part of the Faculty evinces their attitude toward the importance of a literary training. We believe, however, that it is the tendency of the modern college to lay too little stress upon public speaking, and perhaps upon the expersion of thought in any of its forms. This indifference no doubt is due to the material- istic disposition of the age which disposition directs the energies of young men toward engineering pursuits, makes them ddesire to be able to construct bridges. was engines or belly-rollers, and unambitious so far as essavs, orations or de- hates are concerned. Put these last, be it ever remembered, must alwavs nec- essarily hold a significant place in the affairs of men, We helieve the henefits 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 eaeh bro- ther works for his brother's good, here we are taught to love and be loved. Nothing in the college should absorb so much of the student's time, or have a greater claim upon his heart than the literary societies. 101 THE DELTA PHI LITERARY SOCIETY Members of the Delta Phi Literary Society Cecil Clement Fulton, Jr. Mavoard Thompson Griffith Harry Garfield Lawson 1907, Fdwin Arthur Duckmaster Laurence Eli Cain Gieorge Washington Francis William Morrow Francis o038, harles Roush Brown Rohert Haves Burns Richard T.

I. ,1 2 THE DELAWARE COLLEGE ENGINEERING SOCIETY The Delaware College Engineering Society The Engineering Society was organized for the purpose of aiding and en- couraging the members of the Senior and Junior Classes in the study of engi- neering practice, in original research and in the cultivation of their powers of thought and expression. During the last few vears very little progress has been made, hut at the beginning of this scholastic vear the engineering students of the Class of 1907 and William Moore, 'of, aroused the Society to a new life. The membership has been inereased by admitting the Sophomores as full members in order that they may become interested in the work of the Society, and upon becoming Juniors, be fully able to take the place of the departing class, thus making less possible another lapse in the Socicties' activities. Steps have been taken by the Society to organize an employment bureau for the benefit of all students in the engineering courses. These students should do everything in their power to make this movement a successful one, because it would serve to keep them posted on their future chances of securing a position, and, when they see opportunities offered them, incite them to hetter work, : Although several members have made visits to engineering projects and have given the Society the benefit of their therehy gained knowledge, the Society hopes that, in the near future. the Professors at the head of the different courses will include visits to interesting engineering projects in their nearly perfect me- thod of instruction. This would be of great value to the students, hecause it will show them how the theory they are now studying is put to practical usages. At thepresent time the Society is the largest, most influential and active one in the history of the college. Several lectures upon interesting subjects have been given this vear, anda number of men have been engaged to leture in the near futore. G W.

This it has remained to the present time. Unless circumstances prevent, meetings are held weekly in the hall provided for the organization in the west wing of the Dormitory. In this room is the library. which contains reference baoks and those bearing on religious subjects for the use of the students, Bible classes were organized in 'gg and have been suspended only one vear since. During the present vear the class met on Thursday evening. Handbooks, which contain things of interest concerning the college, are published vearly by the association and distributed among the students at the anmual reception which it gives to the Freshmen at the opening of each scholas- tic year. Delegations, the number of which, for the past five years, has ranged from twa to six, are sent yearly to the Student Conference, held at Northfield, Mass.

Manyperhaps the majority of our students come from the middle and lower part of Delaware where foot-ball is rarely played, Consequently they know practically nothing about the games, and it is necessary to teach them not only the game hut how to put on the togs; we recall having seen one feflow ap- pear on the field wearing a head-gear upside down, evidently thinking that i wrs made to protect the chin. For all that many of these men finally become good plavers the fact that it requires a long time to train them greatly lessens the number of men from which to select the team. U'p tor the present year the lack of a gymmasium, worthy of the name, has made winter training for the members of the track team practically impossible, Therefore the time made and the place won at the U, of P. Meet in the latter part of April was due to the outside practice when permitted by good weather, and not to long systematic training. The s2me is true of the track and field athletes wha compete at the inter- class meet Feld in the latter part of June. In the past, not having adequate gym- nasium facilities, they have not been able to keep in training throughout the winter months and as with the Varsity track team they have had only a short time, braken hy bad weather. of outdoor practice and training Likewise the hasket-ball team has been greatly handicapped: it has had no place for indoor practice. We state these fzets not to make excuses for our records, but to show what the men have had to contend with in the past and to show that thes: records were not kept down so much by the lack of individual effort and talent as they were by lack of a fit place in which to train. Beginning with the present time, however, the new gymnasinm does away with this difficufty and during the next vear many records should be and, we expect, will be broken, 4 ATHLETIC ASS50CIATION 9 The athletics are managed through an Athletic Association. This in- cludes all students and each one of these are assessed four dollars vearly. One half of the money thus collected goes for the support of football, one third for that of hase hall, and the remaining to the support of other athletics. The money received in other wavs is apportioned by the Athletic Council. OFFICERS.

Their efforts have at last been crowned with stccess, for, at its last session the State Legislature appropriated fifteen thous- and dollars for this purpose, and thanks to them we have this year our much needed and long looked for gymnasinm. . It is a fine, two-story brick building, ninety by forty feet, inside measure- ments, conveniently situated on the rear campus, close to the athletic field snd easily accessible from the dormitories, At the main entrance is a portico with stone steps leeding up cach side. This is approached by a granite walk. Just inside the front doors on the ground floor, are the gun rooms, where the rifles used by the cadet battalion are kept. Suspended nine feet above the floor is the running track, which is five feet wide and twn hundred and sixty feet long, making about twenty laps to the mile, The apparatus consists of flving rings. parallel rings, a vaulting-horse, striking- bag, parallel and horizontal bars, climbing rope, mats, dumb-hells, Indian clubs, chest-weights, and all the other paraphenalia found in well equipped gymnas- inms. The building is lighted by electricity : steam heated and containg modern sanitary arrangements. 114 The basement has a cement loor, and contains lockers, dressing rooms anil shower and plunge baths. Not the least attractive featurce is the swimming pool, which is forty feet long by twenty fect wide, and varies from four and one- hall to six feet in depth. Delaware students may well feel proud of our new gymnasinm and drill-hall, for it is a fine building, adds to the attractiveness of our already attractive cam- pus, and will in pomnt of o ks anid convenience compare favorably with that of any of the smaller colleges in the country, We will now be able to compete on more favorable terms with our rival colleges in athletic lines. where we have al- wiys, even in spite of our disadvantages. made a ereditable showing ; and we should he able to break some of our own track records this year. The gym- nasium will alsa make it possible for us to have indoor meets between the classes, and with other colleges ; as well as give us all the facilities for basket- ball practice. As a drill-hall it is a great henefit to us, since we now have quarters in which we are not cramped as heretofore, and it is therefore possible for us to be- come more proficient in tactics, especially in the manual and bayonet drills. In fact the advantages accruing from the training to be had in a modern gymmasinm can not he concretely measured, and can hardly be definitely shown even in results. They are, however, recognized by all and we feel sure that the benefits that the students of the present receive will, in the future, more than re- pay the State of Delaware for any expense that it has incurred by giving us the gymnasium.

C. I, Shaffer, who was elected manager, arranged a sche- dule with some of the best teams in the college rank, and considering the fact that all the games were played away from home and that the team had no regu- lar place in which to practice, the showing made was excellent. Samuel Saunders, formerly of the Trenton National League team, coached the candidates. After he had selected the team, M, A. Robin, oy, was elected captain, and later P. F. Rossell, o7, was elected to the place vacated by C. B. Shaffer, who resigned. The team played eight games, winning three, losing four and ticing one. Three of these games were plaved while on a trip in which the team traveled over 7oo miles, On this trip the team brok even, winning one, losing one, and tieing one, Basketball Scores, '05- 06 Delaware College, 181, of P.

It avempred o bluff everything and evervhody and, at last succeeded in bluffing itself, for, either thinking its football team could play the game or thinking it had the Class of 1907 bluffed, it challenged the latter class to play a game of football. And, woe and behold, it came to pass that the Class of 1907 trembled not, neither did it say We will not play with you, for on the day appointed it appeared ready to go on the field. But the Senior Class, viewing them from afar off, saw that their bluff had been called aff-and with a sad heart called together the wise men to deliver them from the fangs of an unavoidable defeat. Finally advised by them, they called from the bushes of Lost Merve, :m!,-inu: Class of 1907, the gnnmd. 15 hard, the ll.'l-ln' is cold and the wind is sharp; we will not play with you. And the Class of 1907 laughed and said, You have cold feet s and the Senior Class remained silent, even unto this day. 155 PROGRAMS PRIZES Delta Phi Anniversary Seventy-First Anniversary of the Delta Phi Literary Society in College Oratory, June 20, 1903, Prayer.

Franecis, oy, Chairman; C. Diffenderfer, 'o7, F. Fader, 'o6, H. Miller, 'c8, and R. Palmer, og, was appointed to consider the matter and decide whether or not the existing conditions would permit the formation of a successiul elub. Its chairman organized the College Orchestra, the Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar Club and the Glee Club. Each of the latter clubs were in condition to go on the road this spring; but the committee found that the majority of the men whose sryices were desired and needed in the Mask and Wig Club were so much occu- pied in other lines of work that they could not join; so it was deemed unadvis- able to fully organize the latter club and place a show on the road this year, However, there is every reason to believe that some time during the next scho- lastic year all four elubs will combine and give the people of Delaware and the stirrounding states the pleasure of seeing the greatest show on earth. e S MEMBERS A.

Singles had just said for the fifth time: Now 1 jus don't care if 1 do miss this afterncon: he gives us too much, so there! And Cain was groan- ing: Dog gone it, this stuff is hard. This is the seventh time 've been over it and here's something don't remember. know I'll miss when we were all startled by the sound of a shot on the rear campus. We looked out just in time to see a rather nondescript character, dressed in hunting clothes, who cut loose a volley of language and threw up his gun and fired bath barrels at one of the windows. Naturally our curiosity was somewhat aroused, so we went out in the hall to see what was the trouble, and if any damage had been done, There we fouml Wlngett-Iabotmg under excitement unusu 1 even for himexplaining that he had been shot at and missed, but that a pipe had been knocked out of his mouth. After he became a little more calm he stated that he had I;Jl 'en no provoca- tion whatever, that he had been merely sitting in the window singing, when some individual came around the corner of the building and opened fire on him, ane that he had barely fallen back in time to keep from being hit. Several of us went over into Angel's Roost in the west wing where it was reported that the man with the gun could then be seen, And barely had we be- gun to look when he seemed to decide that il we were to see a wild-west shaw without paying we should have to take part, for he opened fire whenever he could see a head ; and between firings told us his grievance. He said that no man had a right to rend the air with such noises as had one of the students at that college; and that under the Magna Charter, the Declara- tion of Independence, the Articles of Confederation,and the Town Ordinances ot Newark, he had a right to shoot any man, woman or child who should ook him in the face and give vent to such fearful sounds as were given forth when he passed under that window. While he may have heen right the student body as a whole did not enjoy playing the part of rabbits in a hunting drama; and then, with so much glass being broken our incidental expenses were mounting up very rapidly, So, after vainly attempting to convinee the avenger of public wrongs that we were not ali responsible for the actions and noises of one man, we decided to relieve him ol his weapens and hand him over to the town authorities. In the ensuing fracus the gun was captured by a student who was due at a chemistry recitation at that time. And as he was already late he thought that by carrying in a gun which had lately, in the hands of a desperate character, so nearly been the means of death to a fellow student, he might excite sympathy, So in he went and presented the gun to Dr, Wolf for safe keeping. Dr. Woll'im- mediately disclaimed all responsibility of the gun and ordered it taken out of the room, saying that he was alraid of guns even if they're not loaded. and by the way accepted the student's excuse for lateness, After chemistry, having no more reciiations, 1 walked down the street to- ward the squire's office where a crowd was collected and there learned that the town authorities, including the entire police force, of one man with one arm, and 172 the department of justice, consisting of one squire, were away. Later, the Mavor was found to be at home, and also one of the aldermen, but neither of these had the key to the lock-up. So volunteers were called for to break in the jail and put the prisoner in. Every college man valunteered. Then armed with a crowbar, an axe, four hammers and two chisels, the procession moved again, Well, the lock was broken, and after two or three orations in defense of the rights of man, and some considerable physical resistance in which foot work fig- ured largely, Mr. Jones, as it had developed the prisoner's name was, was incar- cerated, and a guard was put over him until the police force arrived. It imme- diately decided that Mr. Jones was entitled to the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and proceeded to set him iree. When last heard of the bad man was on his way to Phi'alelphia to lick the w editors ol the daily papers who had published accounts of the affair. fo S Poor Jones! Who was it had a little gun? Who was it had a little bun? Who was it had a little fun? T'was Jones. Who fired the shots heard round the town? Who was it gained such wide renown ? Wheo thought he owned the College grounds? T'was Jones. Who was it declared in words quite loud That he could fight the whole d crowid And two or three would kill he vowed ? T'was Jones. Who was it seized right in his height, v students almost dead with fright, Who stopped his constant talk of fight ? T was Jones, Whao was it then in doleful moans Didl wish us all in hottest zones? Who vowed he'd break mast all our hones? T was Jones. Who was it landed in the jail And who to break our And who ta break our hones did fail? Did some one say that he got bail ? Poor Jones. Now, Mr, Jones, when vou get sober Tust take vour time and think it over; And vou will find that it's all hosh To think that rum's a good tooth-wash, WECF. W, o 173 Burr's Revenge e The pride of all Old Delaware's sons Is Burr, so hold and gruff; Although his jokes are worn threadbare, And of the poorest stuff. Now, Burr a noted chemist is, And all, who wish to know, May learn the way to make the stuff That sniffs of realms helow, The Sophs., a brave and sturdy lot, With opinions of their own, Determined on the game of bluf To show twas easy done, We watciied the game with interest, For manv of us knew From sad experience's heavy Land The things that e would do. With sullen look, defiant air, They faced him day to day: But when mid-vear exams. came round, Oh, well! Burr got his pay. All decked out in their Sunday hest, They calmly took their seat: With expression sweet and confidence, Their linen clean and neat. O1d Burr came tearing in the room, His bald head shining hricht, A sudden silence of the tomb Fell on them at this sight. He fired the guestions thick and fast. With glances here and there profouml, Until the air seemed laden with Many a strange wnknown eompounil, 174 Their eyes grew dim, their heads swam round, Behind the hills the sun sank low. They heard the supper bell's sweet sound, But still Old Bure wounldn't let them go. The dusk erept on, the stars came out, On answers still did Burr insist. And when despair was on each brow, They heard the welcome worddismissed. With hungry lock and languid gait, With heads howed down they took their leave, Too late, alas! they found it ont, That Burr was laughing in his sleeve, The days passed on, exams. were o'er Anil things resumed their old position : But when reports at last came out, On each one was the wordcondition, The Sophs, looked blank and kicked and cussed, And swore it would their name besmirch ; But things done could not be undone, Oed Burr Fad left them in the turch, T Heard on the Campus Crr, Just For Us, SINGLES to Cain : Last Sunday evening another girl and T were at church, and Kisoie butting in : Who was the other girl, Cain?

He was soon put to bed again by Hudson, who does not believe in working overtime, 175 A Shady Affair T The midnight hour had come. Cain's light had just gone out, and every- where in the College buildings was darkness. Grand and stately the Dormitors, presided o'er the moonlit campus, now at last deserted and still. No breeze dis- turbed the giant lindens as they reached up majestically through the cool, clear night air toward the stars. Quictness reigned supreme. Even Wingett, the Noisy, had been conquered by Morpheus, when, lo and behold, there appeared, as if by magic, at the front campus entrance a throng of shades, clothed in white transparent sheets. Like a cloud of mist, solemmn and silent, these shades of former heroes came slowly up the path to the Dormitory steps. There, evidently of one mind, they halted with- out command and the shade of the great Greclan orator, Demosthenese, parted from the rest, quictly ascended the many steps and walked to the end of one of the birick walls along the side. Then, having surveyed the throng he hegan to gpeak with great dignity in a voice well trained and commanding, but, of course, only audible to shades: . In obedience to the commands of a great, mysterious powera power in- fimitely more mighty than the esteemed Faculty of this institution, whose terrible decrees are the bug-a-boos of the very existence of many harmless, unsophisti- cated youthswe have assembled here in the dim weirdness of the moonlight and the undisturbed quietness of the night. Fach one of you has obeyed these com- mands and without daring to ask the reason, you, who when on earth knew no equals, have at last met and have been overpowered by an unknown, unseen but mighty master. But now-now that vou are here you ask why--why we the shades of men long since departedmen who died even before they began to build von recently completed gymnasinm- why we have been compelled to leave the peaceful stiliness of our graves and, unseen by mortal man, again appear on this earth so restless and noisy. You would know why, and 1 will tell you: This power, which we are un- able to disobey, has made known to me its wishes respecting us Here remaosthenese suddenly stopped speaking. The figure of a man, who may have been Prof. C out on one of his nocturnal ramblings, was seen coming down the main street of the town, When he had passed the speaker continued: In recognition of the great and lasting mtuence we have had upon the lives of the past and present people of the earth, whether directly through the mighti- ness of our deeds, or through the misrepresentation of historians, or through the magnifying praise of over sentimental hero worslip ers, we are again permitted to visit this world and are commanded to look high and low, and if after a week of diligent searching we fAnd that our places are not, or will not soon he filled hy men more competent and powerful than we, then our talents, our ambitions and everything that has gone to win our places in the world's history will be rein- carnated in the flesh; and we shall again live our lives, surrounded by vastly dif- ferent conditions and be given an opportunity to show that we have profited by our past experience and mistalkes, It is unnecessary for me to speak to you concerning the possibilities that are before us; hut permit me to urge vou not to be prejudiced in vour judgment 176 af the people. Do not consider a man impossible becanse he has Aunked once, twice or even three times under Dr, W, or probable hecause he has drawn an eight spot under Prof. L. 5. 1f he has drawn a good mark from Prof, , search carefully the page of his text books and i perchance vou find nothing thers, mark well that man; he has a pony, and by all means do not be led astray by awhat the people now call hot air; where it exists deeds are seldom found. And now, fellow shades, lest George James has turned cver a new leaf and shonld come out before daybreak to sweep off these steps, let us silently disap- pear, each going in the direction he sees fit, and one week from now let ns again meet here at the foot of these steps, Having finished, Demosthenes descended the steps and joined the crowd. Omne of the shades, Diogenes, carefully lit a lantern which he was carrying, and then some going inta the lh:rmitnr.r, some into Recitation Hall, some into Me- chanical Hall, some into the gymnasium and the athers in many different diree- tions they all disappeared with the coming of the dawn. f 3 :: L .. ak L s A week has passeil. No moon graces the scene. The night is dark and a drizzling rain is falling. Everywhere in the College is silenice and darkness. As the clock strikes one, ghostly fgures come slowly out of the many buildings and silently sather elore the Dormitory stecs. Demosthenese took his place as he- fore and began to speak: Worry not, fellow shades, I shall not detain you long on this wild night, He shudders. The rain goes right throngh me. I feel like but a shadow of my former seli, During the past week von have heard much talkthe people da not take time to think, they only read and talk-they are always talking. In- deed, they cannot talk enough to suit them, The child now has a doll that talks: the adult teaches parrots to talkwhy they have even invented a machine that talks! And, fellow shades, that is not all: spent an afternoon in the room of a fellow named Bill Francis. who was having an argument with a peculiar chap named Blake. DBlake claimed that he had pull encugh to get the position of leading man with Julia Marlowe, because he knew the uncle of a man who knew the brother of a very intimate girl fricnd of Miss Marlowe. Francis, with much noige, actually questioned DMake's veracity. For a long time they talked well, how they did tlic! Finally Dizke oJered to bet him and ended up very dramatically by waving his arms in the air and exclaiming: Put up or shut up! Money talks: yes sir, money talks! Fhink of it! even their money talks, How it can do it 1 do not know. have not had the time to find ont; but I do not doubt that it doeseveryvthing seems to be possible in this age, So, sinee you must certainly be tired of talk I will not bother vou with much taik this evening. To be or not to be? is the question. Whether we shall return to our quiet graves and remain there forever or again live upon this earth we must now de- cile. Since the night is disagrecable 1 shall not ask the will of each one of you, but if there is no objection T shall ask every third man upon my lst what he de- sires to do, and why. There was no opposition, so he unralled a seroll, looked at it, and again spoke: 1 find that T am the third man. He paused a moment. The crowd eagerly 'eaned forward, 177 Back, back, back to the grave 1 desire to go, and quickly, The years have increased my reputation as an orator until it now surpasses that of any other man. But, fellow shades, were to return to the earth my reputation would undoubted ly be ruined. For here 1 have discovered men possessing far greater ability than . Patiently and diligently I labored to overcome an impediment in my speech and to develop my talent, but herehere find at least three vouthsWarring- ton, Draper and Hamiltonas yet untrained, who can beat me a mile. Since, if I were to live again, my reputation would certainly die, 1 desire, fellow shades, to return to the grave. He again consulted the scroll: Uleopatra, you are the next. What is your will? Shall or shall not we he? Beautiful? Yes, in my time was the most beautiful woman in the world. But between then and now there have passed ages-ages which have lnd;:nifiul my beauty have also evolved women of such wonderful beauty and grace that in comparison 1 would be but a horrible shadow, h, ,J'nuhr.-m-, you shake vour head. You were ever a flatterer. Reluctant to believe as was, when 1 attended the Junior Prom and saw the girls, I noted that their beauty far surpassed mine. She shudders. 1 would go back and leave my reputation. Eunclid? called Demosthenese. The famous mathematician gazed over the crowd for a few seconds and then in a Capt, Me, don't give a damn manner, and with a Prof, R drawl he addressed them: In this institution there is a young man named Rossell, When 1 first saw him working thru the night hours solving the most difficult mathematical prob- lems with marvelous rapidity, 1 concluded that I would return to life and en- deavor to owtmaster him; but later my hopes fell to minus infinity when I dis- covered him seated at a desk with a copy of the Bible and of Shakespeares poems before him, writing a letter addressed to a certain My dear little girl, 1 then asked myself if, while in love he is such a wonderiul mathematician, what will he not do when this grand passion becomes a secondary consideration? And 1 im- mediately decided to return to the grave. Teving! called Demosthenese. Harkness is the name of the man whose writings have shown me the nse- lessness and unadvisability of my ever returning to life. In a story of his re- cently published in the Delaware College Review there is all of that strange at- mosphere that has served to characterize my storiesespecially The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and altho his style is not equal to mine it is nearly so, and whereas could not possibly improve mine, he is still voung and style comes with practice. Time and distance so strengthen a reputation that if 1 do not re- turn to this world he cannot possibly gain anvthing greater than the honor of being called a second lrving. Fellow shades, Ict us return to the grave. Sydney Smith! called Dremosthenese, Asg he stood there with :n unusually stern, Prof. C. AL 5. expression on his face, no one would have accused him of being a humorist. Indeed, he looked as dismal and spoke as lifelessly as does Ridgely after a series of examinations: All thru life bore a misfortunea misfortune i which I was constantly reminded by those who addressed me. Try as 1 might 1 could not forget it. As patiently as I could I endured it from the very instant of my birth until 1 went down into the grave and left it in the world where it still survives in the field of 178 wit and humor. They have not forgotten itmmy nameSmith., Here his ex- pression changed to a sweet Prof. I smile. The name seems to hold naught of good for me- even now it is borne by a person whose eistence prevents my returning to this earth. Fellow shades, 1 am so disappointed and angered that 1 cannot refrain from expressing the wish that the whole family of Smiths had been buried with me. During the first part of the last week the pos- sibility of my return to life was bright for discovered only a little wit and humaor in the class rooms of Dr. W and Prof. and itwell, it was old long before I was voung. But later 1 gave up all hope of another life when, attracted by loud laughter, 1 entered a room and discovered a fellow named SmithJulian Constable Smith, perpetrating more jokes, wit and humor thanwell, fellow shades, 1 would return to the gravethe cause: too much Smith. Macanlev! called Demosthenese. The great historian and esszyist bowed, and with no deliberation, began speaking: Olrator, debater, student and class historian, Warrington, the man wlhio makes it impossible for me to return to life, is an exception to the old saying for he is also master of all. Entering my chosen field, he has also excelled, for, fel- low ehades, in all fairness, I must admit that in rhetoric and logic his essays are at least equal if not better than those which have served to make my reputation. Tis true that the thoughts, ideas, and arguments advanced by him are some- times unworthy of the fine manner in which they are presented, but, fellow shades, he is voung, unmature, and prophecy that the future will find in him the greatest essavist of all time. am pleased to return to the grave, knowing that the field of literature will soon have a worthy leader. Nero! called Demosthenese, after again consulting his scroll, In answer to this name, one of the shades who had all along been raising no little disturbance, and who was noticeably tipsy, began speaking in a voice none too steady and clear: You're a fine crowd of sports sarcastically. On the very first day all of vou discovered enough evidence to prove that your presence is not needed in the world: that in this strenuous age you would be naught but sticks; and that his- tory and time, doing the circus barker stunt, have faked the public by making them believe you to be almost superhuman, But, like a crowd of women who spend a ten-cent car fare in order to take advantage of a three-cent bargain, vou have rambled and moped around all week long hoping to find that your first i.l.n' s observation were wrong, and row finding that vou have wasted the whole week in 2 worse than useless quest. And here vou are m-mglu as sober as judges why, even you, Epicureous, have failed to put into practice your nrost com- mendable philosophy. You look as mourniul as death. Here Nero threw up his hands in utter disgust and cried: You're all lakes. I can see right thru vou! Come, brighten up. He then began singing. to the tune of America, the following lines: One beer for one of us; Two beers for two of us; Three beers for three of us; One keg for all. Demosthenese butted in and suggested that Nero come to the point, which, after several vain attempts to start another song, e did: 174 You have no doubt hicard how 1 used to compel people to listen to me sing well, there is a fellow here named Charles Dlake, alias, Chappie, who has beaten me at my own game. Without the power to decapitate, to torture, to im- prison, he frequently compels several fellows to huddle up in the corner of a room and listen to him, and sometimes Claude Deffenderfer and Bill Franciz warhle, As individuals their voices are by no means bad, but when they combine they precipitate something that Blake terms close harmony' but which can find no words to describe. Sufficient is to say that when heard it 1 shuddered and said: 1 am in a savage country. 5o, since there is a person in the world who can and does bother, worry, and annoy the populace more than ever could, 1 agree with the preceeding honorable shades: let's go back to the woods, He discontinued speaking, but when Demosthenese was about to speak, he, with 4 wave of his arm, again called the attention of the throng: Perhaps you would like 10 know what has caused me to be so happy when I again face the grave, and also the one thing that tends to attract me to this world. T will tell you; it is Wilson's, That's AIL Napoleon! called the shady but dignified master of ceremonies. Fellow shades, I did not go thru many maneuvers before, in sheer wonder- ment and admiration, 1 halted in front of the grandest, most dignified and most warlike military personage that I have ever seen. gazed at him; noted the look of admiration in the eves of the girls and the envy in those of the men shuddered ifor 1 recognized that 1 was a back numberand retreated in double quick time, 1 had met my second Waterloo. Why, and how? you ask. will teli you, I will tell you a secret-something that no man has ever known beiore: You have no doubt seen or heard of the picture of me called Napoleon before Water- loo!l That pose of mine, there portrayed, 1 believe, has become famous. Fel- low shades for two hours a day for ten successive davs practice dthat pose. T neither could nor can improve it: and yet, here at this college 1 find a vouth GGeorge Farnanwho naturally sirikes not one but many different poses which far surpass mine. Furthermore, there is an officer here named Foster, who, upon forgetting the command: Halt! bravely stood in front of his fast approaching company, waved his sword defiantly in the air and cried, Hey, you fellows, stop! Now the fact that this age possesses a man of such great nerve and wit shows plainly that T am not needed in the world. So, agreeing with Mr. Nero, I say let us return to the grave. Demonsthenese, in an unanimated voice, spoke to the throng: Fellow shades, Mr. Shakespeare blaming H. Augustus Miller; Captain Kidd blaming a number of fellows who openly rob students in the chapel after morning prayers; Mr. Beecher blaming W. Edward Harkness, Jr.; Mr, William . Vanderbilt blaming the great business managers, Paul Keppel and Tom Smith, and many others have privately expressed to me their desire to return to the grave. So, since the night is bad and daylight approaches, and since every one has thus far been of one mind, if there is no objections, we will now depart from this world never more to return. There was no objection, so, as quietly as they came, they hegan their noise- less march of the campus. Just Fefore they disappearone knows not where Diiogenese, who had all along been plaving with his lantern in a nervous fash ion, was heard to mutter as he blew out the light: At last! At last! Thev are all honest men, 150 Some Questions e When Gabriel's horn at last shall sound, And all the dead arise, From out the colid and lonely earth T'o mansions in the skies ; When all the sheafs are gamered in, And Peter's closed the gate; At heaven's door, as here below, Will Foster still be late? When all the earth shall be confused And all the nations fussin; When nothing ean F heard helow, Will Fraxcis still be sussin'?

When joy and gladness reign supreme, And then our anger we revoke, When all in peace together dwell, Will Sarrn still tell a joke? When earthguakes dire shall wreck the ep-1h, And rocks and hills rebound as chaff: When terror strikes all trembling hearts, Odh, then! will DiprFENDERFER laugh? 151 When all things else have passed away, And gone to felds Elysium, Will Curtin then be keeper of His Q majesty's gymnasium ?

He was a quiet enough looking fellow, hut, in the college from which he had been transferred to Delaware, he bore a reputa- tion for wildness which caused him to be looked upon by the Faculty as the probable leader of every class row that took place. He was received with open arms by the Sophomores and soon became thoroughly at home. He spent a large part of his time in study, and, although he was generally well liked, attract- ed little attention. : About the middle of the third term it became known that Wellesly was pre- paring for the entrance examinations of Annapolis. Much interest was express- el in his success, coupled with genuine regret that he was going to leave Ol Delaware. Now, from time immemorial it bas been an unwritten law at Delaware that every student should, at one time or another, receive a thorough wetting, either by shower bath or water bucket. When Wellesly's classmates heard of his intended departure they resolved that he should receive his medicine bfore he went. Accordingly, one day dur- ing he dinner 114;-r1'nd, he was informed that a gentleman who claimed to, have husiness with him was waiting for him in the room of one of his classmates, Sap- per by name, OF course, Wellesly lost no time in repairing to Sapper's room, but no sooner had he entered it than the door was pulled to and locked from the nutside. This, and the fact that there was no one in the room, made him aware that he was the victim of a joke. He sat down philosophicallv to think it out. That his classmates merely intended to keep him locked up for a few hours he did not believe, He was con- vinced that there was some deeper scheme on foot, but what it was he could not divine. Giving it up at length, he set about trving to escape. Upon examina- tion he found the transom tno small for him to erawl through and the door strong enough to resist his eforts. Going o the window he found, to his delight, that it opened on the fire escape, by which he could reach.an open window above. tut on again looking over the situation his escape seemed altogether too easy, and his growing suspicions were strengthened by the glimpse of a rapidly receding figure at the window above, All at once the whole plan Alashed upon him. He saw why he had been enticed into the room and why the means of es- cape in one direction were left. In the same rapid train of thought be grasped a way not only of circumventing the jokers, but also of turning the joke upon them. In a few minutes he made preparations and stepped from the window on the fire escape. As he expected, the instant he appeared upon the iron ladder the door of the raoom he had just left opened and the window was guickly shut down and fas- tened. Then from every window he received the contents of half a dozen huckets of water amid laughter and cheering. He could not go down, as the hanging ladder had been removed, and to go up was useless, as the window ahove had heen shut, 0 he calmly sat down and waited, Meanwhile the jokers refilled their hiickets and basins and drenched again and again the unresisting figure below 153 them. In a short time, however, they decided he had had enough, and so the windeow was unfastened and he was allowed to step back into Sapper's room amid a parting cloudburst, As for Wellesly himself, he was content. He had gotten no more than he ex- pected, and the consciousness of the return joke he had played upon Sapper, the ringleader, filled him with joy. The thick cadet-gray military st which he wore had prevented the water from penetrating, although the suit itseli was as good as ruined, as it was bound to shrink from the thorough wetting it had re- ceived. Finding that the students had all gone, Wellesly left the wet clothes in a corner of Sapper's room and went to his own room to dress, :e.- i t L L x Sh L After supper that night a number of the Sophs congregated in Sapper's room to discuss their fun of the afternoon. In a few moments one of them no- ticed the pile of wet clothes in the corner, and Sapper laughingly held up the suit for their inspection. They were all chuckling at its forlorn appearance, when Sapper uttered an ejaculaion, dropped the elothes and rushed back. picked up the eoat, turned it inside out and looked eagerly at the little square of muslin which is sewed on every military suit and which contains the owner's name. His worst suspicions were confirmed. The name was his own. Wellesly, sus- pecting what would happen when he should step out of the window, had re- moved his own clothes and worn Sapper's suit. FARNAN, ob. Visions of the Juniors' Past o Should you ask me whence these dreamings, Whence these wild, fantastic pictures, With their vision of great glory And the deeds of noble conguest ; In the bustle of the people, Chut among the host of people, Living in the greatest country Where the strong and leamed conquer, I should answer, T should tell you: From the forest and the montain ; From the eoal mines and the sand-hills: Came the braves from out seclusion, At the call of Delaware's chieftain : At the call of their great leader: Came they, Lowing to their chieftain, Seeking knowledge of the wise men O the chieftain's reservation. Secking how 1o span the distance, Twixt the earth and stars of heaven ; If perchance they wished to fourme Far in distant lands and countries; There perform the many great deeds, That make men renowned and mightv., And the great chief stood before thens, With his high and lordly stature, And his great and growing girdle Will it grow forevermore 2 And the hair was thin and scattered, Thin upon his noble forehead As he spoke in thunderous language Tao the voung braves there hefore him, 0Oh, you braves, vou weak vourg warriors, Who have entered on this trial, Listen to the words of wisdom: Listen to the vwords of warning From the livs of vour great chicftain, Who is ever watching o'er vou. I have given vou hall to learn in; 185 I have given you homes to dwell in ; I will make you men of learning ; Heroes in a mighty warfare; And the world will look in wonder Came the host again from cover; At the things that 1 have made you. Go again into your wigwam, There shal. off your rustic cover; Write again to all the maidens, Who impatient wait to hear that You are entered into pathways That will lead direct to glory. For to-morrow at the sunrise, You must come decked in your war-paint ; Come and fight in savage battle, All the tribe that came before you Come determined that to falter Will be death to all your fond hopes, And that you must battle ever Gainst the foe that will beset you. Thus the great chief spake among them, Spoke until they stood and trembled, And they feared the coming morrow And the struggle it would bring them. Then the chieftain turned and left them, Vanished thru' the open doorway, All were silent and alone, On the morning at the sunrise, Feeling weak ; but strong determined Not to show their fears to others, At their sight the sturdy Sophies, Gave a yell that made their blood freeze, And they eame like rushing waters Down upon the mamma's darlings, Came determined there to teach them, Who henceforth should be their masters, But the young braves rallied strongly, And they fought a goodly battle, Fought like demons in the struggle, And at last came off victorious, Midl the shouts of all the othe-- 186 Who had cheered them on 1o battle, Now, they won their first encounter, And were strong to make another, Hence they struggled on and strengthened Under watchful eves and warnings, Till the year was far advancing And the spring was newly budding. And they talked of maids and summer, And they dreamed of what was coming Of the freedom it would bring them. Dreamed that when exams. were over, They would journey to their country, And be great among their comrades For the knowledge they would bring. But that when the moon was yellow, And the grain was tall and ripened, They'd return from out their country Tao their great chief's reservation. There again to stand in hattle As they had the year hefore. There to struggle on and upward With their flunks and their professors, Feeling that they would be wise men When they learned a litile more. Feeling that they must be counted In the councils of the wise men. But, alas! Their disappointment, When they learned their unimportance Amnd that they must await their season, When they should return once more, To their homes again they journeyed, And they spent the long dry summer In amusement and in rest. For they now had grown to manhood ; Grown to strong and sturdy manhood, And their hopes and their ambitions Raised them in the realm of spirits, And they sought the fairest maidens, Those who once had been their playmates, Told them of their aspirations; Told them of their airy castles; 187 Asked them if they cared to share it, When they in the world would travel; Swore their faith would last forever, And that they would come and claim them When from out the halls of learning Thev should come and not return. Thus they left the tender maidens, Left them with their tears and sorrows, And again renewed the struggle That was nearing to an end, And their hearts were sad and heavy, At the thought of maidens weeping, And renewed their protestations That forever thev'd be true, But, alas! How wild and wayward Is the heart of man and maiden, For, ere half the year was over, Many had their vows forgotten, Had renounced their vows and pledges, And had told the tale to others, Told them of their heart's devotion, Swore, in truth, she was their first love, Anid none else could take her place ; Anidl that each would mourn forever If the maiden would not take him, Take him for her own true hero, And the sharer of her fortunes. Thus the days and months passed quickly, And the Juniors, proud and thoughtful, IFeeling that they must be honored, And that all should bow before them, Went again from Falls of learning : Went from out the reservation ; Where the great chief ever watchiul Had imparted stores of knowledge. And who loved his sturdy warriors With a heart so warm and tender. -u + 1- t + bt they pass from out our vision, From our long and pleasant dreaming, And we gaze into the future ; In the dim uncertain future ; 185 And we wonder what twill bring them ; Bring our heroes strong and noble ; But we can no longer follow In the footsteps of our warriors, For in fancy we but see them, As they journey down life's river, And we feel that for the coming, It was better to be so; And we knock away the ashes From our dream-pipe and we go, 'og. ol Some Pet Sayings Geo, Francis: Now, when T was in Boston Due.

Saint Peter awoke from a doze, in which, after ages and ages of tiresome worl, he had fallen, just in time to hear some one call out in a thundercus, commanding voice: Hey! Hey, there! Open un! open up! Think I'm going to stand here all dav? Open up! St. Peter, after slowly drawing the bolts, opened the gates and was nearly knocked down by a large, pompous man with a Vandyke beard and a great, shaggy moustache, who, wiping the perspiration from his brow with one hand and carrying a derhy in the other, was rushing in like a Cook's tourist. However, with a strenuous effort, St. Peter managed to block his way and in a mild and wentle manner addressed the introder Who enters here Who?who? Don't yon know me? W-w-what are you doing here? Isn't it vour business to know people? W-what do you get paid for, anyhow? I'm Dr. 3! Dan't you know me? I'm deadjust diedlet me in! St Perer: Calm thyself, rash man!

Hurry up, man! Open the gate! St. Perer: Young man, if this be so, there is hope. Wait thou while 1 consult the book ! Dr. wY: Hurry up! barey up, man! I'm in a horryhurryawiul hurry St, PETER speaking slozdvi: After a most careful and thorough search I find that your claims are truevery true; but, sir, it grieves me greatly to find the following grave charges: Not long ago a man, young, but exhibiting many signs of hard usage and bearing a heavy burden of blame, came to these gates. I questioned him. He said that his name was Foster, sometime assistant profes- sor of chemistry at Delaware College; that his dilapidated appearance was not ansed by sin; and that his vouth had been blighted in a certain chemical labora- tory, where, under you, he had been subject to much overwork and uncompli- mentary language Dr. Y finterrupting: Huh! do you mean my old cook, Foster? Huh! Guess Foster was blighted before he struck my joint. Did he get in here? in here? Why, man, he mixed up my bottles ' bottles up! Comecome, my good man, let me in! Don't stand there like a sphynx 194 St. PeTEr: Sir, calm thyself; there are more charges. In a most inhuman and savage manner you kidded Cscar A, Hudson, and Dr. fagain interrupting: Hudson? Hudson? Huh! Huh! couldn't help kidding Hudsonhe's from Sussex Sussex St1. PErER slightly angered: Silence! You also worried and made life unbearable for George Murray and Julian Smith, Furthermore, after the Sopho- mores had, for two successive nights, burned the midnight oil, you Dr. V finterrupting ;. 1 don't believe it!

Furthermore, vou have wilfully hidden behind a brusque man- ner vour true personality from the students; and then there are your jokesand many other fully proven charges. Sir, yvou have been weighed in the balance and found wanting ; depart thou in peace. The gates slowly closed and with much grumbling, all petered out, the re- jected man began to descend the ladder. As he passed a man, who was on the way up, he was heard muttering : TiffvTiffy and those bovsbovshoysworry me-worry meTiff's the cause of thiscause of this. Tiffy never could do anything right-always balled things uphalled things up! A little later a well-built man of medivm height, with a slight trace of black hair on the sides of his head, a stumpy moustache, and hig hrown eves shaded by heavy eyebrows, who was followed by a large blue dog, approached and knocked upon the gates, which slowly swung open. Sr. PErEr: Wouldst thou enter here? ArpricasT: l would ST, PETER scratches his head, theughifully: Are you Dr. , of Delaware College 7 ArpLicant: I am. St PErer: 1 know thee wellmmany are the former Freshmen, now inside these gates, who come here daily begging me to keep vou out, fearing that vou might smuggle in a copy of Genung's 'Working Prineiples af Rheto-ic, ani set up a department of English. But, sir, you shall have a square deal. Upon what grounds do vou beg admittance here?

But before I do so, let me call vour atiention to that. He pointed to a sign nailed near the gate. Doctor looked, 1594 and read: No dogs admitted here, and then spoke to the dog: Orh, goodness, Lil, are von here? Go hom! After the dog had obediently disappeared, St. Peter, who had been turning the leaves of the hook, spoke thus: You aided John D, Rockefeller to accumluate his vast fortune by causing the Freshmen to burn barrels and barrels of A No. 1 Midnight Oil. You also, by the aid of the boxing gloves, marred Cain's beautiful complexion to such an extent that for one whole month he dared not visit his home. Furthermore, you have, by showing, in many practical ways, an interest in the students when out- side the classroom, put many of the other faculty members on the bum. The latter fully proven charge is indeed an unusual one, 1 congratulate you upon doing something original, but, at the same time, conclude that yvou cannot enter here. 1 have spoken. B 1 turned reluctantly, and after he had descended and disappeared in the direction of Who-can-tell, there apw:arm! at the foot of the ladder a digni- ficed gentleman, who possessed many cutward characteristics of the Englishman, and who, when approaching, had kept bis eves fixed upon the ground. He soon placed a trensit in position, me-sured the inclination o the ladder and proceeder to cover sheet after sheet of paper with figures and notes printed in a most neat and uniform manner. He then shook the ladder, and evidently satisfied that it was theoretically and practically safe, slowly ascended. Upon arriving at the gate he knocked, and St. Peter, with a benevolent smile, greeted him thus: What dezirest thou? . ndwltoeort thon? Sir, slowly and deliberately spoke the applicant, T am Prof. , of Delaware College. 1 desire admittance here. UI'pon what grounds ? 5t. Peter, have endeavored to teach Shaffer and Lawson. For one year I taught the Juniors spelling and 1 firmly believe that as a result they can all spell Japan and dote. Furthermore, 1 epent mest of my time, when not in the recita- tion room, sending notes to the parents of Ravmond, Ruth and many other ener- getic students, and therely keeping them well informed in regards to the timely movements of their noble sons. And. sir, last but not least, T passed Ridgely and Francizs with a good mark. Findly let me pass. Hold thou, sir! 1 like thy polite and gentlemanly manner and your hard luck tale is most interesting, but I must consualt the book. St. Peter, after reading for some time, again spoke: Sir, I find that vou have und Arthur Hauber, an unusually brilliant, earnest, quiet and retiring student; that vou have codperated with Dr. in aiding Rockefeller to corner dollars by causing Hugh Stewart and George Stevens to burn much midnight oil; and that by not permitting 1 , B. Smith to sit by an open window vou prevented him from ever attaining his full height. Sir, 1 say no more ; you cannot enter. St Peter closed the gates, muttering something to the effect that if Prof 195 couldn't stand for a little cool air in a room it was warmer down below of course he meant at the foot of the ladder. As Prof. w was slowly descending he met a gentleman of medium height, with black hair, heavy evebrows and a close-cropped moustache, wearing a derby hat and carrying an umbrella, who greeted him with these words, speak- ing rapidly and nervously : Good afterncon, Professor. Have you been clear to the top? Is it far? Did vou notice how many rungs are in the ladder Pror, b : Five hundred and sixty-four rungs, one foot apart. About how thick are they Pare they safe? Yes, sir, they are safe, and are one inch in diameter. I thought they were 1-16 inch more than that. By the way, did you notice the thermometer up there? 1t is generally cooler as you get higher. But by this time Prof. i J had disappeared and the newcomer, continu- ing his journey, soon appeared at the gate where 5t, Peter, wearing his usual placid smile, gently asked ; What wouldst thon have? According to all the ancient Greek and Roman authors this is the way should take. Are you 5St. Peter? 1 hardly expected that you would look so voung. imagine it is rather tiresome work stayving here all the time. Foung man, vour curiosity betravs you. 1 have just been examining the records and have found the following charges agamst vou: You have hrought up remembrancesoften unpleasant to your studentsof deeds and promises long since forgotten. You have also told blood-thirsty tales of terrific struggles on the foot-ball field, in some of which you were the hero, one time suffering to the extent of having a button torn from your coat, and thereby discouraging many timid fellows from entering a most noble sport. Furthermore, you once gave Cain a mark of only g.765 when you well know that he should have had 8 Pror. mlerrupting ;. Well, 1 think he received all he deserved; he mistranslated a word in the first lesson in the book on January 15; later missed on a construction ; he was not prepared on February 6; he was mistaken on the perfect principle of the verb amo, which evervone should know: and in 'E' of the third examination question, he confused the ending of the vocative singular and called it the locative, There was no excuse for that, because they are never alike. 1 can recall only two instances where they show any resemblance to each other : One occurs in Chapter 4, line 17 of S1. PETER fimterrupling: Sir, we know all about those things and also know that vou passed Blake when in all justice he deserved to flunk, having a mark of only 5.0000, while the college catalogue sets the passing mark at 6. You gave as your only excuse that yvou didn't like to split hairs. Sir, vou cannot enter here. I have spoken. Prot. bt My! My! Couldn't you at least let me in long enough to 186 look around St. Peter heard him not. Picking up his umbrella he descended the ladder. Near the foot, a tall, anti-fat gentleman, with a determined its-not-right-but-1'll- do-it-for-its-my-duty expression on his face, who was ascending, addressed him thus: Good afternoon, Professor b I tell you, its an outrage gritting his teeth ; yes, sir, an outrage, that they do not install an elevator. 1 repeat, it is an outrage that you and 1 should have to climb this ladder. T have not placed my person in a more dangerous position since, when in 1893, I played right tackle on my college foot-ball team. The descending man, with a look-pleasant,-please, smile, nodded his head and continued on his way. The ascending man soon arrived at the gate, knocked, and St. Peter greeted him thus: Well, what wilt you have? I wish to enter your gates, Dut, let me tell you, before I go further. that your company provides a most inadequate means for the conveyance of travelers. Sir, you are behind the times, 51, PErer: Tuttut! 1 have naught to do with that. I refer vou to Hezo Darton and George James, our superintendents of transportation. What right have you to enter here Pror. y: Sir, 1 have devoted the greater part of my life to the ad- vancing of the best interests of Delaware College. 1 have coached the ladies basket-ball team of Newark; I have used my influence to secure the disfranchise- ment of the negro race here he unconsciously fired something from his thumb with the tip of his first finger, hitting St. Peter on the tip of the nose ; why, I St. PETER grabling his wose in one hand and Raring wp in great anger: 8ir, I will not stand for such impudencedepart hence I Apparently not noticing the cause of St. Peter's anger, Prof. looked in amazement as the gates closed, leaving him out in the cold, and then mutter- ing something about the unrecognized rights of man, he descended the ladder aned disappeared into the vast unknown. A little later a tall, non-stout, dignified young gentleman, dressed in the height of fashion, with his right hand in his trousers pocket and carrving an over- grown pocket-book containing books in his left hand, ascended the ladder. At the gate he discovered St. Peter, who was tacking up a sign which read; No shooting allowed ; T ain't no bird, and muttering something about locking the stable after the horse had been stolen, He turned and addressed the neweomer : 8ir, if you would hope to enter here, first observe that sign! What cause hast thou to hope for admittance 7 Mr. Peter, 1 will depend upon the justness of your records. Young man, I like your manner. 197 St Peter then consulted the hook and in turn spoke thus: Sir, the charge against you is an unusual one: you are charged with being so goodd natured and just that even your not overconscientions students cannot look you in the face and offer their stock excuses for absences, therehy causing them to attend recitations with unheard of faithfulness. You are also charged with making your daily appearance before the students in a habit so stylish that Charles Blake, with all his latest New York creations, seeing himself beaten at his own game, was constantly sad at heart and financially broken by many trips to New York fo get the latest vet.' Sir, vou cannot enter here and again ruin Mr. Blake's pleasure. U'nlike his predecessor, Prof. thanked 5t. Peter and said that this reminded him of an experience he had had in Paris where, while walking down .one of the principal streets late one night, a figure suddenly dashed out of an alleyv-way andhere St. Peter interrupted him, sayving that Joe Foster had told Dim so tmany yarns that he was too tired to listen to any more. Hardly had Prof. disappeared when Captain 1. dressed in a jack-ass uniform, came to the gate and, speaking in a deliberate, matter-of- course manner, told St, Peter that, altho' he did not have the countersign, he would like to get in. St. Peter then asked what he had ever done to earn a long and pleasant rest. Look a-here! said the Captain, do you expect me to tell vou all the good, wonderful and nervy things I've done? Why, for two years I told varns to the students at Delaware College and then only told them half of my adventures. Twice 1 managed, aided by good luck and diplomacy, even with Stine, Baldwin and Lawson in the ranks. Sir, I would enter. S1. Perer: In the book 1 find vou charged with having told students blood- curdling stories of how you slept in 10 inches of water with only your nose above water during a six months seige ; of how you made bonfires of human bodies in the Philippines; of how vou knocked a man off a cab and soiled his collar because he spoke disrespectfully of Americans, ete. You also spoke roughly to Arthur C. Ward, a proficient officer and bashful boy, and hurt his feelings. Furthermore, Captain Moore is now entertaining the people inside with tales of daring and adventure, and if you were to enter his reputation might be shaken. Sir, even if vou did make good on the Appointing Committee vou cannot bluff me, He was about to close the gate when he viewed a crowd of men, who were fed by a gentleman wearing a pair of gold eye-glasses and a you-may-if-vou-care- to expression, coming toward the gate. He looked them over carefully, and then spoke : Are you from Delaware College 7 Sir, said the leader, I think we all are It is enough; you cannot enter here, said St. Peter, who, after wiving this wholesale turn-down, wearily closed the gates and sat down to await the next COMmeT. IHE McNeal's Leap 2 The Freshman Class of 19 had been exceedingly active during the Fall term, and the Sophomore Class had been exeeedingly quiet. The Freshmen had painted their numerals everywhere: on the outside of the gymnasium, on the fenees, on the B, O, water tanks, on the tradesmen's signs in the town, on the pavement in front of the home of one of the professors ; in fact, they had literally painted the town. The tranquility of the Sophs should have warned the Fresh- men to look out for squalls, but they were confident in their power and took no heed, Inside of the gymnasium on opposite walls, the Freshman Class numerals had been painted in large white numbers ; but what was particularly caleulated to incite the Sophs was a large grinning caricature done in white paint with the word Soph' below it in large letters. At last the Sophs were aroused. On the Monday following the appearance of this last outrage, as they called it, they swarmed in an angry mob over to the gymnasium, Cme of the Freshmen, Taverville by name, happened to be in tle ovm at the time. The Sophs seized him, provided him with sandpaper and ordered him to rub out the offending picture. He refused and told them there were nat enough Sophomaores in the College to make him erase one line. The now thoroughly enraged students hauled him out of the building and start- ed for the shower bath, The rest of the Freshmen were at their work in the wood shop. When they became aware of what was happening outside they hegan to organize a rescue, but were ordered by the professor not to leave the building. In the meantime the Sophomores, after a discussion, released their prisoner and the incident terminated. For a few weeks the Freshmen were on the alert. After what had occurred, they reasoned. the Sophs would surely attempt reprisals. However all was guict and as time went on, their vigilance relaxed, But all this time the Sophs were nat idle, they were busy planning a most complete revenge for the indignity offered them, When evervthing had settled down and the Freshmen had grown careless, the Sophomores held a secret meeting. The plan of revenge was stated and the date of its execution fixed. All the details were arranged and the plan perfected. Cine clear enld night in early December, the Sophomores gathered together for their grand coup. Those who lived in Wilmington had come down on the evening train, and the whole class of thirty or more students marched in a body around to the boarding houses of the Freshmen, The first place they visited was Belmont Hall sitnated on Ouality Hill Here MeNeal, the president of the Freshman Class and his chum, Tom Maynard, hoarded. Two ather Freshmen, Billy Vaughan and Freddy Vandever, were visiting them that evening. The Belmont being a boarding house, the Sophs had no difficulty in entering, and the first thing the Freshmen knew of the situa- tiom was the sudden opening of the door and the sight of hall a dozen Sophs in the entrance. Now, McNeal was the possessor of a large 44-calibre horse pistol which he had brought with him from the West, after a former visit of the Sopho- mores e had loaded it with blank cartridges and placed it in a convenient 199 drawer. The instant he perceived the intruders he sprang to his feet, leveled the big revolver and discharged it again and again in th faces of the terrified hazers. They turned and Aed wildly down the stairs, each one thinking himseli the only one leit alive. The Freshmen, laughing heartily, barricaded the door, When the Sophomores had somewhat recovered from their panic they opened communications with the Freshmen by means of the window. And here the Freshmen made their first mistake. When the vast crowd of Sophs urged them to come down, swearing that if they did not they would receive worse treat- ment in the future. They did so on the condition hat the Sophs would not do them any bodily injury or do anything that would ruin their clothes. The Sophomores, having gained their point, provided them with brushes and hlack paint and forced them to paint out all of their class numerals which could be found in the dark. Then they adjourned to the gymnasium and order- ed the poor fellows to paint out the picture of he Sophs. They refused. The Sophs threatened to shower bath them, black them with shoe blacken and to pelt them with rotten eggs if they did not obey. What could the poor fellows do? There were four Freshmen and thirty-five Sophomores. There was no alter- native but to obey. But MeNeal was determined not to do any more painting. He considered that the Sophs had hroken their agreement when they threatened to do him and his companions an injury and therefore he was at liberty to break his own prom- ise to do as they wished, Now, in front of the gymnasium was a porch the full length of the building, and the windows of the second story, where the crowd of Sophomores and Freshmen were, opened out on its roof. One of the Juniors, who was standng by, gave him a quiet wink and softly opened a window. Like a flash MecNeal canght his plan. He waited for a few minutes and, when the at- tention of the Sophs was distracted, broke away from the crowd and sprang through the open window. Although it was a fiiteen foot drop from the roof to the ground, he did not hesitate an instant, but sprang out into the darkness. By great good luck he landed on his feet unhurt, Behind him he could hear a great commaotion and the sound of men running down the stairs. He lost no time but dashed away into the night. He did not rest until, utterly exhausted, he had reached his room. In the confusion his fellow class mates also escaped and there was no more hazing that night. FARNAN, 'of.

The stars are cold, repelling, The ground is hard and drey; The demon-wind is velling To tear the winter sky: There's ice upon the river Where only ripples showed, And our voices are a-quiver On the Old Creek Road. The spring-time sun is setting Bevond the emerald hill, And every heart's forgetting The by-gone winter chill, S0 gaily now we wander Where formerly we strode, And carelessly we ponder On the Md Creek Road. The summer moon is beaming No more we stroll along, But are merely fondly dreaming Of the singing of a song, And the same old stream is Aowing As it has always flowed, While a zephyr's softly blowing Om the O1d Creek Road. -H.

Are you heeding it? The call comes to you, unless you are physically unfit for such work. You are wanted, and that very bad. There is a chance for everyone to make the team, Here is the opportunity for individual honor., Here is the chance for EVETY Freshman who loves to bear the entire burden and shoulder the whole responsi- hility, that the credit may be all his, that he may figure as a star and win a smile from the bonny lass he loves best. Cheers from the gang. The escitement of the grid-iron, as everyone knows, is the tensest and in the glamor of vetory is there the brightest of all the phrases of college sport. But even if you think there is no chance of making the team, go out any- way; for remember Any ool can fight a battle, when he is sure of winning : but give me the man who has pluck enough to fight when he is sure of losing! More cheers. If you answer, fellow Freshmen, the call which hos been sound- ed, it will mean a prestige among vou fellow-students in years to come, for the athlete is in the end the man of inAuence. The speaker looks wise. There is no sadder sight than the man who graduates without being able to say, I have kelped in the athletic work, and who has to content himself with an oration at Commencement, as his sole claim to preferment, Speaker emphatically hits the table with his fist. What if vou do not make the team? You can make some other man hustle for his nlace, and make a better man of him. The best of us will relax when there i3 no one to pushus, and keep us up to our work, Though, the place is the other fellow's, a great nride in his victory will be yours, for vou made him, Now boys the responsibility is vours and nobady elses. You cannot blame Captain Josephs' or the team if we lose, for you may rest assured that we did our part and you did not do vours. Therefore come out and ever keep in mind, A faint heart never won a fair lady.

But often, when a crowd of us get together, we recall times we had as lower classmen, when In those rare old, fair, old golden days It was not like this at all. for now the Freshies don't fight half as hard as we uvsed to, nor are the Sophs hall s0 aggressive as we were. One of the memories of our Sophomore days that never fails to produce a smile on the faces of all, is an encounter with the officer of the law the night af- ter we had wiped up the gridiron with the Freshmen foot-ball team. That night it wes most nroperly decided that we should celebrate our victory. So shortly after dark several fellows slipped out of the dormitories carrying buckets or suit- 211 cases, while the rest of us gathered in the rendezvous and waited expectantly the return of the errand-boys. We had not been there long before they began to straggle in, with their buckets full of coal-oil and the suit-cases of shavings, Since the celebration was to take the form of a bon-fire, the next thing on the program was to get a number of empty hoxes that had hq:en located during the day, around the different stores. About 11 o'clock we started out ; each man captured a box, and struck for the athletic field. Suddenly a figure in a blue uniform, waving a model 1640 revolver above its head, appeared, and in a Nicholas Carter tone, with gestures a la Prof. Short, eried out: I call upon vou to halt in the name of the law! We were slightly startled, but each one hung to his box and started past this personification of law and order. Suddenly the figure swooped down, seizing a black-haired youth from Elkton with one hand and tapping him on the chest with the other, said to him in tragic tones: Young man, you are under arrest! You spend this night in jail! Without doubt the policeman expected to see his vietim cringe and tremble in his grasp. But the Elkton blood came to the surface, and instead, he was greeted with a burst of laughter, and to all his terrible threat he received but one reply : 0, hell! So taken aback was the policeman, that he fell back and the hox-party moved on, Having deposited our burdens near the scene of the fire to be, we made another trip. This time we were stopped hefore we had procured any more in- flammable material, and another of our party singled out as the victim of cir- cumstances. This man promptly demanded a statement of the charges against him. These were summed up in the words Disorderly conduct. He took an- other tack, and instead of langhing took the matter seriously, and told the officer that the year before when he had arrested Bunny, he had but one friend in the college, and that was the present arrestee ;' and that if he ran him in, and kept on in his present course, he would lose that one, and would hereafter be that sorry sighta friendless man. Touched at the picture of the pitiful spectacle he would be, and perhaps influenced by the sentiment of the crowd, who one and all, told him that he would not be permitted to lock up their friend, with much grumbling and many threats the officer of the law withdrew and the celebration ended peaceiully. We built our fire, celebrated our victory, toasted Old Delaware, retired to our beds, and failed in our recitations the next day. We now look back upon that night as one of the most pleasant of our college memoirs, and as one over which not only we but also the ex-policeman, who has now retired to private life, have had many a good laugh. 212 Books! Books! Books! We announce that the following books either will or will not soon be published STHE LOVE LETTERS OF A JUNTOR. ... 0o inenes by Paul Rossell, 'oF Highly poetic, full of heart-hbeats, delicately imaginative, these letters from the pen of Paul Rossell fully prove that the art of letter writing is not dead. For all that Mr. Rossell fully denies it, they have such a strong air of the realty that we are inclined to accept the statement of his intimate friend, Paul Keppel, who says that the author first read a little in the Bible and then the Balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet before writing each letter : and that he himseli mailed several of the letters. To Messrs, Voss, Ridgely, Mes- sick, Cain and all oher students whose progress is made difficult by distance, we especially recommend this bookto them it should not only be interest- ing but instructive, HARMLES JOKES FOR THE CLASS ROOM, or LAUGH OR RESIRIE R o e e s by Dr. W What's in a name?' Heaps, sometimes, In this case, pure misrepre- sentation ; for truthfully the book should have been entitled: Jokes of All Nations and all Ages, edited by Dr. W Chestnuts! Don't buy it it's hum. PAMN THE PEOPLE or HOW TO MANAGE A FOOT-BALL PR e s i I i i by Edward Neill Tn this book, written with spice, strenuousity, and an evident non con- formlty to conventional language, Mr. Neill advances a most remarkable theary: Tf vou want an office, to which the people migh not elect you, whv, quietly elect vourself ; take possession, and if any one buts in, give them the hluff, exrressed in proper langnage. Anarchisic in the extreme, urg- ing a monner of office grabhing unequaled even by our present system of graft, snch a Faok should be supressed by the government or, at least, boy- cotted by 211 democratic people, CWHY T DID NOT BUY ONE. or TALKING MACHINES BREAK THE SARBATH sl i a vnnca e e e s n e Ao by W.

SPELLING FOR SENIORS, or A NEW MANNER OF KIDDING by Prol, R THE SERVANT QUESTION. or THE NEGRESS SUPERLEDED BY THE WHITE CHEFE, i oo iiiiis ity George:W- Francis In this book Mr. Francis advances many pretty theories which, we think will not prove practical. For instance, in attempting to prove one of them, he says: If the negro cooks of the Boarding Club were discharged and a white chef hired o take their place, the meals would be better served and wonld cost less to run the club.

PHONE 28D FACTS TO REMEMBER Che Telepbone AN won and will always remin the leading place among the devices that make life livable and lovable. BECAUSE it measures up to every requirement and meets every emer- gency of all business or occupations. It is the helper of those who toil, and the convenience of those who Spin not. BECAUSE it helps the husband and father to make money and aids the ladies in spending it judiciously. I'T used to be that the farmer got the best prices he could, now he is sure to get the very bestif he has a telephone. Some farmers till the soil successfully, and then tnrow away the resule of their toil, Cxthers ger all that is obtainable for their products. The latter use the telephaone. I'T is better to save a life than to collect life insurance. The telephone summons the doctor in critical emergencies, TO place every safe-guard possible around the home, is the duty of every householder. A telephone line into the house in the country is a greater protector than rural police. LABOR-SAVING devices have worked wonders for the agriculturists, but they sometimes break in the most busy times. A telephone gets them fixed quickly and saves time and money. YOU cannot run the mill with the water that is passed, nor can you recover lost time. Save it by getting a telephone. BECAUSE in this method of communication lies progress, civilization, the essence of neighborliness and the true kemel of fellowship, BECAUSE it is the handy medium of social greetings and business Cransactions. You should have a telephone in your place of business and home. Rentals very cheap. Write and tell us your desires and we will endeavor 0 Meet Your requirements, THE DIAMOND STATE TELEPHONE CO.
