We have endeavored, in the following pages, to embody the spirit, life, and activi- ties of our college. But, to this end, our aim has been neither to flash upon you all the brilliant attributes of the members of our illustrious class, nor to throw the searchlight upon their failings. To do the former would blind you; the latter might drive you to the depths of despair. We sincerely hope the events and inci- dents herein recorded may contain something of interest to all. To us, the class of 1914, they hold much of interest and will ever recall to us dear memories of the happiest years of our life. In conclusion, we heartily thank all who have aided us in the preparation and publica- tion of our annual. THE EDITORS.

C. E. OSEPH HECKART FRAZER was born at Port Deposit, Maryland, on September 30, 1882, For six years he lived with his parents on the shore of the SBusquehanna until, in 1888, the family moved to Newark, Delaware. He received his first taste of school life at the Newark Academy, which he soon left for the public schools of the town. Having graduated from school in June, 1899, he entered Delaware College the following September as a student in the Civil Engineering Department. During the summer following his junior year at college, he worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He then returned to college and was graduated with his class in 1903. After graduation Frazer again worked for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad under the supervision of Division Engineer William L. Sissons, spending soms time with him on a preliminary survey in West Virginia, In 1904 the Bolivian Government asked through their representative in this eountry for an engineer to make a railroad survey for them. Mr. Sissons was chosen for the task, and being allowed to pick his men, he seleeted Joseph Frazer as one to accompany him to South America. The party set out for Bolivia in De- cember, 1904. But a short time after their arrival in the roof of the world'a name by which Bolivia is sometimes knownthe corps was dishanded on aceount of the ill-health suffered by the chief engineer and some of the party in conse- quence of the extreme altitude of the country. All returned home except young Frazer, who determined to stick it out sinee he had gone so far. 5o he secured a position with the Andes Tin Company, for whom he worked about a year as min- ing emgineer, He then formed a partnership with an English business man by the name of Rumbolt, and together they set up the firm of Rumbolt Frazer, mining engi- neers, When, at the end of two years they were performing railroad work, Rum- bolt withdrew from the firm. His place was soon filled, however, by Mr. A. W. Yount, and with the firm now operating as Yount Frazer, bids were given al- most wholly on railroad work alone, The first contract that the new firm received was for a railroad, fifty-five miles in length, and running from Cochabamba to Oruro, The task of constructing this railroad was diffienlt in the extreme; their camps had to be pitehed at altitudes of from 15,000 to 16,000 feet above sea level, The suecess of the two young engi- neers on this work was remarkable and instantly brought them into prominence. It was about the time when this railroad was eompleted that Mr. Frazer met his death, His fatal illness was, no doubt, due indireetly to overwork. In a poor physical condition, he went on a four davs' duck shooting expedition with some friends near Lake Titicaca. Subjected to exposure and exertion he canght a severe eold, and upon going to La Paz on August 9, 1911, malignant influenza developed., He was carefully cared for in the home of a medical missionary whose wife was a trained nurse; but his ease was hopeless, owing to the altitude, which affected the lungs and heart. Muech information eoneerning the attitude of Mr. Frazer toward his work and life in Bolivia can be gained from the following telegram which was sent by Min- ister 11. G. Knowles to the Department of State and later transmitted by the de- partment to the family of the deceased : Lecation oF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, La Paz, Bolivia, August 21, 1911. The Honorable, the Secretary of State, Washinglon, D. ', Sik: I have the honor to confirm my cablegram of today informing the de- partment of the death of Joseph H. Frazer. He was a eitizen of the United States and his residence was with his parents, at Newark, Delaware. He eame to this country seven years ago and had been following his profession of mining and eivil engineering. For the past three years he had been engaged in railroad work, and as a partoer of A. W, Yount, located at Oruro. He had in the last two years un- dertaken and performed with marked suecess, several large and important eon- tracts. At the time of his death the firm was engaged as prineipal contractors in the construetion of the railroad to run from Rio Mulatos to Potosi. They wers about to close a contract for the construetion of 300 kilometers of railroad in the southern part of Chile, involving many millions of dollars. He had already, at the age of 29, established a reputation on the West Coast of South America as one of the best and most reliable contractors that ever came here. He possessed un- usual ability as an engineer and contractor, had an enormous amount of energy, and was a hard worker. He had marvelous influence over his workmen, all of whom preferred to work for him rather than to play for other men, He made the lahorers feel that he was one of them with kindness and eonsideration, which had a reformatory and econstructive influenee even on the roughest characters. From the lowest workmen to the party giving the contract he had their confidence, admiration and esteem, which grew into an intense affection. It may be truth- fully said that not another contractor in South Amerjea stood in such a favorable position and had before him such a bright carveer, It is the opinion of eminent men here that had he lived until 40 and continued his career, he would have sur- passed the achievements and reputation of Henry Miegga. His suceess here is a shining example of what is possible for a young man with ability, energy, character, and ambition to accomplish in South America. b He had made all his plans fo return to the United States next month to visit his family and friends whom he had not seen sinee he left there seven vears ago. For the last five weeks his physical condition was very much run down by un- broken and overwork. Tt is said that three weeks ago he had several fainting spells at the dining table in his home in Oruro. The following week sndthe first of this monthhe went with a party of five on a duek shooting trip to the Desagquadero River, The party spent four days there and killed 1,645 ducks. Iis score was next to the highest, about 500. The weather was eold and damp, and the men were in the water or wet most of the time, His physical condition, when he went on the trip, the exertion and shock ineidental to firing daily, not less than 200 heavy gun charges, and the exposure for four conseentive days produeed the only natural result. He contracted a severe cold and eame to this eity on the 9th inst. Malig- nant influenza developed, and one week later, the evening of the 16th inst., he died, He was buried from the legation on the afterncon of the 18th. The body was thoroughly embalmed and enelosed in a zine-lined sealed casket, which will make it possible to send the remains out of the country within the preseribed period of two years, I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, Horace G. KNoWLES It was only through the efforts of Mr. Knowles, the United States Minister, that permission was obtained from the Bolivian Government for the immediate removal of the body from the eountry. Concerning the diffienlties encountered in transporting the body to the United States after permission had been given, much can be shown by the following letter from Rev. Gerhard J. Schilling : THE HOMEWARD JOURNEY OF ME. FRAZER. A short time after the decease of Mr. Joseph H. Frazer in La Paz, Bolivia, it was decided that his remains should be transferred to the United States. This transfer may seem to us here in the homeland a comparatively easy matter, but it is not 8o when you have to deal with distances and eireumstances, such as I in- tend to outline in the following narrative, Happily for the undertaking, the body of Mr. Frazer had been perfectly em- balmed by an American physician on the day of his death ; else there would have been no possibility of persuading the Bolivian Government to permit the trans- shipment before a term of five years had expired. As it was, the municipal stat- utes required that a body should remain two years in the cemetery of La Paz, before it could be exhumed.. Here, then, we encountered the first real difficulty, and the fact that it was finally overeome is entirely due to the diplomatic efforts of the Hon. Horaee G. Knowles, our American Minister to Bolivia. A special session of the municipality had to be called and a number of conditions had to be met, ere we were permitted to take the coffin which contained the remains of Mr, Frazer into a second zine 10 . LT AmssEssmm LR box and a third packing case for its long journey. On a Friday afternoon I finally set out on the trip to the Peruvian coast, the port of Mollendo, In the custom port of Guayaquil, yet on Bolivian soil, I found after consider- able search the Pernvian Consul, who promised to send at once a cable to Puno, the port of entry in Peru, so that there would be no difficulties in landing the body the next day. Yet when I eame to Puno no such instroetion had been cabled. Through the courtesies of the Peruvian Railway Corporation, I was, however, permitted to proceed at once to the eoast. Here new difficulties arcse. The cap- tain of the port had no official instructions regarding the matter, and as he had attended the previous night upon a firemen s ball, he felt very ill and exceedingly eross. But when the steamer was about to sail, he weakened and permitted the transfer of the precious freight to the waiting steamer. By this time 1 had a lot of doeuments about the matter and yet, on the Oronsa' the sanitary inspeector of the eoast, who was a fellow passenger, pointed ont to me that I had no permit to trans-ship the body from the steamer on which we sailed to another going farther north from Callao. After a good deal of talking I persuaded that same inspector to make out for me such a permit, which he did, and through which doeument I had no diffi- culty in trans-shipping to the Mexieo. My troubles, however, were not to be at an end as yet, for the purser of the Oronsa'' forgot to hand to the purser of the Mexieo' one of the doeuments, so that when we landed in Panama, the receipt which showed that the transportation of the silent passenger had been paid to New York was missing, It was really very fortunate that an experieneed traveler accompanied Mr. Frazer, for else there might have been a eonsiderable delay at this point. At last, however, even this diffienlty was overcome, and we sailed from Colon on the exeellent steamer Almirante'' of the United Fruit Company to New York, where Mr. Stanley Frazer awaited the incoming of the steamer. Sinee it was Columbus Day, we eonld not land the body that afternoon, but the follow- ing day the easket was shipped to Newark, Del. From the time we lifted the body out of its temporary resting place in La Paz, until it landed in New York City, it was trans-shipped from cart to railway, to boats and steamers fourteen times. What a comfort to know that at last the remains of Mr. Frazer rest peacefully in the beautiful cemetery at West Nottingham in the homeland and among the mem- bers of his own family. -G. J. B NOI'TVLLVH HHL Delatware College A Brief Historical Sketch and Some I'nformalion as to the Aim and Scope of the Institution ELAWARE COLLEGE is situated at Newark, an attractive little town of two thousand inhabitants in the northwestern part of the State, Newark is connected with Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore, and Washington by the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio Railroads. It is eonnected with nearby towns by splendidly made macadam roads. The surrounding eountry is healthful and beautiful. The village is lighted by electrieity and has a supply of fine water. The College ocenpies a charming site near the eentre of the town, Delaware College was chartered in 1833 by Act of the Delaware Legislature, and students enrolled for work in May of the following vear. A suceession of misfortunes forced the College to elose her doors in the spring of 1859, Eleven years later the College was again ready for students, having mean- while been designated by Aet of the Delaware Legislature as beneficiary under the Act of Congress giving to each of the several States large areas of publie lands to form the basis of endowment for colleges especially devoted to the teaching of Agrieulture and the Mechanie Arts, and Military Tactics. This Aet of Congress, suown as the Morrill Bill, from its originator, Senator Morrill of Vermont, de- elares that the Colleges made beneficiary under its provisions shall have as their leading object, without exeluding other scientific and classical studies and in- eluding Military Taetics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agrienlture and the Mechanic Arts, in order to promote the liberal and praetieal eduecation of the industrial classes in the several pursnits and professions of life. In consideration of the designation and establishment of Delaware College as the institution to be provided by the State of Delaware in accordance with the pro- visions of the Act of Congress in question, a joint and equal interest in the grounds, building, libraries, and vested funds of the Colleze proper, was con- veyed to the State of Delaware, and equal representation upon the Board of Trustees was given the State, The Board of Trustees consists of fifteen members, representing the original board, and fifteen members on the part of the State appointed by the Governor, dTIId HAZVHA JHOr OL HONVHINE HLVD TVIHONAK g - A 1 e ITT LT 71 1Y R AT - five from each of the three counties, The Governor of the State and the Presi- dent of the College are members, ex officio, The Delawfnre College Agricultural Experiment Station was established as a department of the College in 1858, by Act of the Delaware Legislature, under the provisions of an Aet of Congress, approved Mareh 2, 1887, commonly known as the Hateh Bill, appropriating $15,000 annually for the purpose of acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical informa- tion on the subjects eonnected with agriculture and to promote secientific investi- gation and experiment respecting the prineiples and applieation of Agricultural Seience under direction of the College or Colleges established in each of the States and Territories' in aceordance with the provisions of the Morrill Bill. The still further expansion of the work of the Experiment Station along lines set down by the law for the development of Agricultural Science by means of research and experiment iz made possible by the Adams Bill, approved Mareh 16, 1906, appropriating $5,000 for the first year and inereasing this amount hy $2,000 a year until it reaches $15 0041, The College is beneficiary also under a further Aet of Congress, known as the New Morrill Bill, approved Aungust 20, 1890, which appropriated for the vear then eurrent $15,000 to each State for the Land Grant Colleges, and pro- vided that the inerease shonld be $1,000 each year until it should reach 25,000 a vear. Delaware College receives annually four-fifths of this appropriation, one- fifth, in accordance with the provisions of the bill, being applied to the mainte- nanee and support of the College at Dover for the education of colored students. This act was supplemented by the passage of the Nelson Bill, approved Mareh 4, 1907, providing for an appropriation of $5,000 for the year ending June 30, 1908, and a subsequent annual inerease in appropriation of $5,000 until it reaches $25,000, thus making an annual ineome of $50,000 from the national rpovernment, Delaware College will receive four-fifths of this amount annually, the rest going to the College for the colored race at Dover. The appropriations provided for in this Aet are to be applied to instruction in Agriculture, the Mechanie Arts, the English Language, and the varions branches of mathematical physieal, natural and ecenomic sciences, with special reference to their applica- tions in the industries of life, and to the facilities for sueh instruction, There is also an appropriation by the State of Delaware of $2,500 yearly for the Chair of History and Economics, Stimulated by the inereased ineome provided by these recent Aets of Con- gress, Delaware College, within the past few vears, enlarged her corps of instrue- tors and inereased her equipment of apparatus and applinnees, so that she is now hetter enabled than ever before in her whole history to perform her appointed duty. The buildings of the College include the dormitory, originally the only Col- lege building used for all purposes and still oceupied, not only for lodgings, but also for laboratories and recitation rooms ; recitation hall erected hy the State in 15 NuvVd 3DATIO0 LY SONIAQTINT 40 MEIA 1891 ; the wood-working and machine shops, where is found machinery and ap- paratus for a practical course of instruetion in the Mechanie Arts; the gym- nasium, splendidly fitted for its purpose, The buildings are situated in a beauti- ful eampus shaded by fine old trees, The Experiment Station, containing the offices, libraries and laboratories of the station workers, ocenpies a building on the College grounds. The station has a greenhouse, with lnboratory adjoining, and several buildings used for storage and other purposes in the eonduct of the various lines of experimental work. The Legislature of 1903 appropriated 15,000, payable in two equal annual installments, by the expenditure of which the workshops have been greatly en- larged, and are now entirely adequate for the present needs of the Colleze. The first floor is equipped with wood-working and iron-working machinery and di. rectly adjoining are mechanieal and electrieal Iaboratories. On the second floor of the building are found large deafting rooms and laboratories. The sum of $25,000 appropriated by the Delaware Legislature in the year 1801 for rebuilding and repairs to Delaware College, was expended mainly in re- pairing and enlarging the dormitory. The bnilding was replastered throughout, and the floors were made secure by the introduetion of new timbers. The sleep- ing rooms were made comfortable and attractive, and the Oratory was remodelled and redecorated so that it is now one of the handsomest anditoriums 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 strueture were built threestory extensions. These improvements have inereased the number of sleeping rooms, and furnished handsome apartments for recitation rooms and laboratories. The appropriation of $15,000, which was made hy the Legislature of Dela- ware in 1905, has been applied to the building of a drill hall and gymnasium, In the basement of the building will be found shower baths and lockers for the use of the students. The main floor serves as a drill hall.and gymnasinm. A baleony is suspended from the walls of the building, which is used as a running track and also by speetators, At the session of the Legislature of Delaware of 1907, a bill was passed au- thorizing a commission to apply $20,000 to the purchase and equipment of a farm to be managed and conducted by the Board of Trustees of Delaware College at Newark, for experimental purposes in providing efficient instruetion in agrieunl- ture and in condueting investigation and original research in conneetion with the Experiment Station established as a department of the College. A farm of two hundred and seventeen acres, lying a mile south of the College, has been bought, It is most attractively situated and furnishes excellent means for practical instrue- tion in agriculture. At the last session an appropriation of $10,000, payable in two installments of $5,000 each, was made for the eare of the College property, and for the support of its work along such lines as are otherwise unprovided for, Ten thousand dollars was also appropriated for buildings on the College farm, 17 REfYEIiY AaRIa FICHTOOM 40 NAEIAOND ZiOvEd 8 AVMANTEED A0 A80 H 8 DNTH AVH B.VIOHH 40 MHTA YHHLONY 8 ONTH AVH BYazEgE 1 i, il r.h.i The College buildings are heated by steam and lighted by electricity and are supplied with water by the town water works. , A considerable part of the rear campus is oceupied as an athletie field and affords excellent facilities for outdoor sports and games. Mr. and Mrs. Eben B. Frazer and their son, Mr. J. Stanley Frazer, of the class of 04, have provided, as a memorial to Joseph H. Frazer, 03, for the grad- ing, draining, and otherwise fitting up of the athletic grounds of Delaware Col- lege. The grounds are enclosed by a substantial tile and concrete wall, A run- ning track, a quarter of a mile in length, and grounds for baseball, football, ten- nis, and other sports have been laid out, The Board of Trustees have necepted this gift as a memorial to a graduate of the College and have named the field the Joe Frazer Field. 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 young men of the State a thorough collegiate training with no other east than that of living and the provision of necessary books and a few ineon- siderate fees to cover expenses incurred by the institution. Her work is laid out upon broad lines, and the eulture of liberal learning and the practical usefulness of the applied sciences are equally emphasized in her seheme of education. While, in pursnance of the special aims of her organization, stress is laid upon those departments which build up good eitizenship and useful manhood, the place so wisely provided in the foundation of the Land Grant Colleges iz given to the refining graces and amenities of the older learning, THE DAIRY BUILDING ON THE COLLEGE FARM The Agricultural Bepartment INCE the reorganization of the College on the Land Grant foundation, Agriculture has always been a prominent feature of the Clollege catalogues, The conrses, as deseribed, have been excellent and, in print, wonld compare favorably with those in other land grant institutions. At the beginning, there was offered only a three year eourse which did not lead to a degree, as did those in the other seiences and the elassics, A study of the early records reveals the fact that, from the time of the reorganization of the College in 1870 until 1892, no students were enrolled in this department. It is evident, however, that from the beginning the trustees were anxious to make Agriculture popular. This is shown by the fact that in 1873 it was made a preseribed study in the first two years of the Scientific Course, In 1883 a Btanding Committes of the Trustees on Agrieulture was appointed, and this has been one of the Standing Committees ever since. Those who are familiar with the system of agrienltural edueation today ean readily appreciate the difficulties that obtained in popularizing this work in the early seventies. With no text books, but few trained teachers, no apparatus or other equipment really adapted to the subject, it was ntterly impossible to at- 20 JUDGING S8TOCK tract students. Furthermore, at that time all the other voeations open to a col- lege graduate offered greater indueements, In consequence, the better equipped departments, which led to a so-ecalled learned profession, drew all the men en- tering college, In spite of the fact, however, that there were no students in this subject, there was always a Professdr of Agriculture. The first incumbent of this chair was Edward D, Porter, A. M. Prof, Porter was evidently a man of parts, as he was not only Professor of Agrieulture, but of Physies and Civil Engineering as well. He was also, at least during a part of the time that he held this chair, Prineipal of the Newark Aecademy, an institution that was perhaps better known at that time than the College itself, Prof. Porter furnished the College with a farm, which offered practical work for students and was used for demon- stration and experiment, as well as for an agrieultural laboratory. In the eatalogne of 1877, Prof. Porter published the results of his experiments in growing sugar beets, which was the first scientific experimental work done in Delaware. Prof. Porter was a great organizer, and it was not long before he was called to the University of Minnesota, where he was for some time the Director of the Ex- periment Station of that state. From there he went to the University of Mis. souri, and directed for a number of years the Experiment Station in connection with the University of Missouri. His sueeessor in Delaware was Prof. Reinhart, who was in turn followed by Prof. Farrington, now Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry in the - 21 e U. 8 Department of Agriculture, Prof. Farrington was followed by Wesley Webb, now Corresponding Secretary of the Delaware State Board of Agrienl- ture. Like his predecessors, Prof. Webb also held the chair of Physics and Civil Engineering, and in addition was, for a part of this time at least, instructor in Military Tactics, The College opened in 1886 with Prof, Frederick D, Chester, B. 8., an early Cornell graduate, oceupying the chair of Geology and Agriculture. Under Prof. Chester's regime a Bureau of Information for farmers was established. The catalogue states in this connection: 'Letters of inquiry with stamp for answer ghould be addressed to the Agrienltural Department of Delaware College. A feature which would be considered rather unusual today is a statement in the eatalogne for 1886 under the heading, Agrieultural Society of Delaware Col- lege. All students in the Agricultural Course will, npon entrance, become members of the above society, and all duties eonneeted with it will be strictly en- foreed. The objects of the society are the reading of papers upon agrieultural topies, and the diseussion of matters relating to husbandry. The society will en- deavor to secure lecturers from among our best farmers, and thus practical views from practical men may have their full representation. In the eatalogue for 1886, Dr. Wolfe, as State Chemist, published the tabu- lated analyses of commercial fertilizers sold in the state, thus giving a little ag- rieultural tone to the catalogne in lien of stndents. In the College announcement of 1888, the Chair of Agriculture was vacant, but a new Chair of Horticulture and Entomology was established, with M. 5. Beckwith as Professor. The Experiment Station was organized during that year, with a Director, not yet appointed, Prof. Chester as Botanist, Prof. Har- ter as Meteorologist, Prof. Beekwith as Horticulturist and Entomologist, Prof. Penny as Assistant Chemist, and a Veterinarian not then appointed. The next eatalogue , for 1888-89, shows that the Chair of Agriculture was still vacant, but that Dr. Neale had been appointed Director of the Experiment Station. In the eatalogue for 1890, under the heading of Admission, it is stated that, The Agrienltural Course is a three-year special course established in accord- ance with the Aet of Congress, July 7, 1862, and an Act of the General Assem- bly of the State of Delaware, passed March 14, 1867, in whieh it is required that the leading object of the Agricultural College is to teach such branches of learn- ing as are related to Agriculture and to Mechanieal Arts, without excluoding other seientific and elassical studies, and including Military Tacties. 1t wonld seem from this quotation of the statute that the Agrieultural Course was at that time considered a sort of necessary evil. Under the heading of Degrees we find that, while all of the other courses led to a degree and were four years in length, the Agrienltural Course was still only three years long, and, at its completion the student was rewarded by a certificate of graduate in Agrienlture. In 1891 Dr. H. P. Eves, D. V. 8., of Wilmington, was made Professor of 1j LIt o 1y L L Y LTy Veterinary Science, and W, H. Bishop, B, 8., a graduate of the Amherst Agri- eultural College, was appointed Professor of Agriculture. In 1895 Biology was also taught by him. The year 1891 marked a new era in the history of the College. In the fall of that year Delaware obtained her first regular student in Agrieulture. The eourse had been extended to four years, and led to the degree of Bachelor of Agriculture. The distinetion of being the first student to be graduated in Ag- rieulture at Delaware College belongs to Mr. Brooks Ross of Seaford, who, hav- ing eompleted the Freshman and Sophomore years of the Secientific Course, changed to the course in Agrieulture in his junior year. Mr. Ross was gradu- ated in June, 1893, with the degree of B. Agr., the first one to reeeive this honor in the history of Delaware College, In 1893 the Winter Short Course was established, five students availing themselves of this opportunity offered by Delaware College, This course seemed to be adapted to the conditions obtaining in Delaware, and those interested were much pleased by the way it was aceepted by the constituents of the College. The next year this course was attended by five students, two of whom had taken it the winter previous. In the winter of 1895-96 but three attended the winter eourse. This number, however, was inereased to six in 1896-97, but went to three again in 189798, and numbered four in 1898-99, and two in 1899-1900, and pone in 1901, In 1901, however, William P. Naudin of Marshallton, Del., com- pleted the four year couse in Agrieulture, and was graduated with the degree of B. 8, Agricultural Course. During a period of 31 years this was the second time this degree had been conferred at Delaware College, In 190203 there were four students enrolled in the four year eourse in Ag- rieulture, and one in the short course. In 1903 the late Lmeien Green was grad- uated from the four vear course in Agriculture, making the third student npon whom this honor had been eonferred. During these years, for various reasons, the equipment for the eonrse in Agriculture had not been inereased to any ex- tent. The College was unable to provide a farm with modern equipment, or modern laboratory facilities for instruction in this important subjeet, No de- mand had been made upon the conrse in Agrieulture offered by the College, and, as the resources were limited, the trustees felt justified in strengthening the other department of the College upon which there had been a strong demand. In spite of the fact that in other states the Agrienltural ecourses were hegin- ning to attraet hundreds of students, it was the opinion of many, some of whom were trustees, that, owing to the close proximity of our large cities and the de- mand for men trained in the engineering courses, voung men of Delaware could not be attracted to the Agricultural Course in Delaware College. In 1903 Prof. Bishop resigned, and James A, Foord, B. S, M. 8, A, was eleeted to the Chair of Agrienlture. Prof. Foord was a young man who had re- ceived his Bachelor's degree from the Agrieultural Department of the N. H. College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, and his Master's degree from Cor- nell University. He had had considerable experience as a teacher and investi- gator, was energetic and enthusiastie, and was highly recommended for the work that he was to undertake as Professor of Agrieulture in Delaware College. When he ecame to Newark to take up his work there were two students taking the four year course in Agriculture, and he had a class of four in the winter course in 1904, The following year three members of the Freshman elass elected Agrienlture, and the winter short course numbered two. This indicates that some interest was beginning to be felt in Agrieultural edueation, although the course was badly handicapped from lack of equipment. At the Commeneement in June, 1905, Charles Walter Colling of Harrington, and Jacob Leonard SBoper of Magnolia were graduated from the Course in Ag- rieulture, making a total of five who had taken the Bachelor's degree in Ag- rienlture, In April, 1906, Prof. Foord, somewhat discouraged by the condi- tions that obtained in Delaware and by the lack of equipment for teaching Ag- riculture, resigned to accept a position in the Agronomy Department of the Ohio State University. At the present time he is at the head of the Department of Agronomy in the Massachusetts Agrienltural College, and is most suceessful as a teacher in that well and favorably known institution. Prof. Foord's sneeessor was not named at onee, and at the Commencement in June of that year Dr. Neale resigned as Director, but was elected as Animal Husbandryman and Agronomist in the Experiment Station. Pursnant to the determined effort of the Trustees to give especial attention to the advancement of Agriculture, Dr, J, L, Hilles, Dean of the Department of Agriculture and Di- rector of the Experiment Station in the University of Vermont, was chosen Di- rector of the Delaware Experiment Station and Professor of Agriculture in the College to sueceed Dr. Neale and Professor Foord, The sinecrity and wisdom of the Trustees nnder the conditions that obtained at that time eannot be doubted by anyone who is conversant with the facts in the ease. The Trustees of the University of Vermont feeling that the resignation of Dr, Hilles wonld greatly impair the work of that institution, prevailed upon him to deeline the invitation to come to Delaware. Whereupon Harry Hayward, a graduate of Cornell Tni- versity, and at that time Director of the Agricultural Department of the Mount Hermon School, was elected Director of the Experiment Station and Professor of Agrieulture. Professor Hayward began his work in Delaware in October, 1906, and im- mediately asked the state, through the Trostees, for a farm on which experi- ments in orcharding, agronomy, and animal husbandry could be earried out, and which would maintain illustrative material for teaching Agrieulture. So marked was the revival of interest in Agrienlture throughout the state that the General Assembly, in 1907, passed by an almost unanimous vote an act provid- ing for the issuance of bonds to the amount of $20,000 for the purchase of a farm for the use of the College, to be owned by the State. This was promptly 24 done, through a commission named by the General Assembly, and possession was given the College April 8, 1907, This really marked a new epoch in the history of the College. With the possession of a farm, began a reorganization of the whole department of Agri- enlture. This was made possible in part by the purchase of the farm, in part by the passage by Congress of the Adams Aet appropriating $15.000 per year to the Experiment Station, and in part by the action of the Trustees in making every possible effort to place this department upon a footing that would eom- pare favorably with the Agrieultural Departments in many of the other land grant colleges of the country. To this end the work of the department was dif- forentiated, new divisions ereated in both College and Experiment Station, the eourse of instruetion very much enlarged, and ceonsiderable equipment pur- chased for the lahoratories, elass rooms, and for the farm, Apple, peach, and variety orchards were set, and the Agronomist began extensive experiments and demonstrations with field erops. In 1908 the first Farmers' Day was held. This is now an annual event, and serves as an excellent medinm for bringing the constitunents of the College in touch with its work. Through the iranges and Farmers' Institutes, opportuni- ties have been offered the Department of Agrienlture to get close to the farmers and to diseuss with them the problems of their own farms, The Department of Agrienlture has also made it a practice to exhibit live stock, grain, forage crops, and fruit, at the State Fair, and for a number of vears had made an exhibit of varions breeds of live stock at some of the larger fairs on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Under the new organization students eame slowly at first, and it was not until 1911 that any econsiderable number elected the Agrienltural Course. In that year about one-third of the entering class chose Agrieulture, and this pro- portion was about the same in 1912, In 1911 the Legislature passed a bill appropriating $4.500 per year for two vears to establish a division of Agricultural Extension. This has seemed to round out aeceptably the seope of the work of the Department of Agrienlture and materially to increase its efficiency. At the present time there are seven well equipped divisions in the Agricultural Department, ineluding Agricultural Extension. The heads of all of these and their assistants, with the exeeption of the chemists, oecupy dual positions as teachers and investigators in their re- speetive branches. The work of the head of the division of Chemistry, and his two assistants, is eonfined entirely to research. About forty students have heen enrolled in Agrieulture for the present collegiate year, The department has under its direction a farm containing something over 200 acres. On the farm there are one of the finest peach orchards in the state, over 550 varieties of fruit, 14 breeds of live stock, and almost inmumerable va- rieties of wheat, corn, soy beans, and other grain and forage crops. The farm ARnirEEmamsam is one of the principal attractions of the College, and is visited every vear by thousands who are interested in some phase of Agriculture. The services of the members of the agricultural staff are in great demand from numerous sources, which shows the interest that is being manifested in Agricuture by the publie. It is felt by those moest elosely eonnected with this department of Delaware College that it is now in a position to render effective service to the state in de- veloping its agrieultural resources, and in helping the farmers of the Peninsula to hecome more efficient, The Agrienltural Department gratefully acknowledges the help and sup- port it has reeeived from the people of the State, who have made liberal appro- priations in expression of their faith in itse usefulness. The Department is un- der special obligations to the Board of Trustees for the interest it has shown, and for the hearty support it has given to its activities. Only by this support has the development of the Agrienltural Department been made possible, The Gorporation CTrustees of BAelaware Collene His Excellency Governor CHarrks R, Miier, ex officio Geo.

L, Price E T IO L L O O L, , Like every other class we had our rushes; we won in our Freshman Year and lost in our Sophomore Year. Then we had our other annual class elashes, all of which we lost exeept the Indoor Meet. Of course we were very happy when we won this; so was everyone else but the Sophomores. The affair was soothing to their swollen craniums; but it failed to remove the swelling. However they are getting theirs' now ; they have been graduated. We almost forgot to mention our Freshman posters, and they were really good., We are justly proud of them. We also like to remember our Freshman banquet. We had a good timefor Freshmen. Of course our banquet was like every other banguet which the Freshmen are in the habit eustom is too weak to use here of giving. But let us offer just a word of alvice concerning the banquet to the future Freshmen: Have it when there is a decent don't take this word literally show at the Garrick. At the end of our Freshman Year we lost, through death, Gordon Haley, This death was a great loss to both the College and the elass. Three long yvears have passed sinee then, but Gordon Haley is not forgotten. Can hetter tribute than this be offered? During onr Sophomore Year we did as every other Sophomore Class. No- body loves a Sophomore. Perhaps the faeulty knows this, sinee it has arranged to make it the easiest year throughout the college course, But the Junior Year! Not only did our studies assume monstrous propor- tions but our social responsibility almost overwhelmed us, It is no eineh to handle a Junior Prom. and a Junior Reecitation Schedule at the same time. We couldn't just find the exact relation of a dance committee to Wright's Me- chanies although it was very evident that the eleetricals eould very well use a little Timbie' notwithstanding that Timbie had not yvet made his de. but in wiring the Gym. We got over the Prom. all right just as we did the measles, you know and were beginning to breathe freely again when some- one mentioned the Farewell Hop, So we had to get down to work on this; and we are not over it yetfinanecially speaking, And now we are Seniors. It sounds big, but we feel just the same. It is usually said that Seniors think that they know it all. Why, we will even admit that our professors know more than we do, that is all except onebut we won't mention any names, Do not think because we have not mentioned it that our elass has not ath- letes, It has D men on every team. Also do not think that it lacks student ability. ' The class hegan with forty-three members and. after picking up a few here and there, has lost all but twenty-two men. 1 say men, although Becky and Johnnie Mullin cannot vet vote: but they are both better than the averagn man. When it comes time for the big affair in the Oratory next June we are all going to be right up on the stage with arms outstretehed ready to weleome home those long-desired sheepskins, 12 r-. o 2y .

N September 15, 1910, the Class of 1914 with the exeeption of two or three members, notably Mr, Lind, our last-minute man, formally en- tered Delaware College by tying up the Sophomores 14 to 0 in the rush. From the time we entered, when some of our number suceess- fully hazed some Sophomores, until the present, when we are trying to initiate a new professor into our manner of thinking, we have been noted for our originality and aggressiveness. You will pardon the egotism. We are referring to the class only. Acecording to Mr, Lind, who is a leader in our class, we numbered um-ty-uh when we en- tered. Aceording to Hoyle' we numbered 49, After we had elected E. W. Loomis president, D, R. MeNeal vice-president, E. E. Shalleross seeretary, J. W. M'Cafferty treasurer, and C. . Brown histor- ian, we decided that we were the whole show'' and proeeeded to demonstrate it. If any reader has had the nerve or tenacity to dig out the gems of in- terest in the History of the Junior Class found in the 1911 Blue Hen as he is digging them ont of this, he has read that the Class of 1912 was responsible for the suppression of hazing at the beginning of our Freshman Year, We take exception to that statement for it was the Class of 1914 which, by demonstrat- ing their superior prowess, suppressed the hazing, Just imagine any upper elassmen favoring the suppression of hazing, Why we do not ourselves, now. Our most vivid impression of the College from the standpoint of lessons in our Freshman Year was that the study of English is the predeterminate in- fluenee in the corrollary of successful concomitants. What we did not get in English Composition we got in English Literature, We'll have to hand it to you, Doe., that certainly was some English Course. Some of our number, however, liked it so well that they are still taking it, having econtributed several dollars to the library in the meantime. We hope for the sake of the present and future Freshmen classes that it has not improved ' munch since. Things soon began to become monotonons because of the striet suppression of hazing ; eonsequently we desired more than ever to have our Freshman Ban- quet. Accordingly on the evening of February 10, 1911, we journeyved to Wil- B3 mington, where evervone of onr members except Shalleross, 8. M., and Brown had engaged seats for Doek's. We think the show was very good but are not sure becanse we still continued to think ourselves the whoele show. At the Clay- ton House, after the performance, we listened to Lieutenant Edgar 8. Stayer and Arthur Cleveland Huston exchange reminiscences. The toasts which our Toastmaster E. W. Loomis proposed and which were ably responded to by L. C. Haughey, A. . Dean, A. C. Huston, and . K. MeNeal were mere incidentals in eomparison. And the eats,' oh, they were just a matter of course anyway. We must not forget to mention that Prof. MeVey was also there and spoke when things became dull. We arrived home the next morning rather late for classes had there heen any. At this time we showed the Sophomores, and the whole student body as well, that we were the superior, athletically, of the two lower classes. In foot. ball the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores for the first time in nine years. Seore, 18 to 8. In baskethall we won, 14 to 10, In the indoor meet the 1014 Class scored 32 points to 1913's 16, In basketball we once more bumped the Sophomores, Summarizing our initial year we can trothfully say we waded in, we waded throngh, and we waded out,. Waded into the Sophomores, through the English, and out of our first year into our second. This, our Saphomore Year, marked the beginning of our wanderings. We expected defeat in the rush, for many Sophomores always have important husi- ness the first few days of the first term. Each day brought its guota of wan- dering 1914's until, alas, but 41 survivors returned. We proceeded at once to eleet A. C. Huston president, E. K. Hoch vice-president, C. E. Grubb seere- tary, and R. G. Tippett treasurer. The Freshman-Sophomore foothall game re- sulted in a 6 to 6 tie, Why didn't we win? Oh, well, Prof. Short refereed the game. If further explanations are necessary, ask the man who got the ball after the game. Why was this a period of wandering, von ask? Well, we wandered into what is termed the Sophomore slomp and then wondered why we slumped. If onr readers will pardon a little explanation we can truthfully say, in the light of future developments, that we slumped because we had too litile to do and the faculty knows that students who have too little to do do nothing. In other words the Sophomore Year is too easy and the Freshman and Junior Years too difficult in comparison. Consequently, to those who dope out the eurriculum, we say, please equalize things. Before we go any further the 1914 Class wishes it distinetly understood that any defeats herein recorded can be readily and truthfolly explained and acconnted for by any of its members. This is to save qu.ing exenses for de- feats. Some scores read as follows: Basketball,........... Freshmen, 10; We, 9. BREBalL. i e sty Freshmen, 4; We, 6. Indoor Meet .......... Freshmen, 0: We, 0. 86 Now let us see what else happened in onr Sophomore Year. Oh yes, Prof. Short confirmed the report concerning Dr. Frazer's new athletie field, Con- nellee immediately beeame contagious' and had to be gnarantined. Some spirit, eh Steve? Yep, he's the guy that put the spear in spirit. Summing up our Sophomore wanderings we wandered in slowly, wandered throngh our studies carelessly, and wandered out taking the Interclass Field and Track Meet with us. Seore, Sophomores, 53; Freshmen, 39; Juniors, 5; Seniors, 28, Now, here we are, Juniors, Upper Classmen, Our number has dwindled to thirty-one, seven of whom have come into onr fold either from the elass of 1913 or by entering Delaware College as Juniors. Our reputation is fixed not as a elass of kickers but as a class of originators. Did we not put the bee in CTimbie? And have we not in our elass a quartet of ineomparable Maocks, ' namely, McNeal, MeCafferty, MeCall, and MeDaniel We have reached the point now after two vears of irresponsibility when we must eut the ecomedy and hustle. We have the Junior Prom. elose before us and have undertaken to make this Blue Hen a suecess. However, with all of us working together and every one doing his share under the able leadership of our President, C. E. Grubb; our Viee-President, A, C. Connellee, and onr Treas- urer, A H. Dean, we are looking forward to suceess in these ventures both finaneially and otherwise, As we look back over our eollege life our stay here seems to have been very short and no doubt the remaining period will seem even shorter. But with only a little over two years spent here at Delaware we are realizing as never before that what we get out of college lies with ourselves, and that the associa- tions and incidents which have endeared the 'old institution' to us place us forever under obligations to her as only such memories ean. We steadfastly believe that our Senior Year will only serve to strengthen the realization of our debt and that we will go from Delaware determined to give back to the eollege. which is making us what we are, part of our future success. Finally, it is the.hope of every member of the Class of 1914 that we have done our full share toward uplifting the standard of Delaware College and that our emblem. the old Blue and Gold, will wave more prondly and shine more brightly than ever before beeause we have been here Hisroriax, WALCEE CEORGE AUBAMD, L K. ooy nas e e s vmn s aisn saanes Wilmington, Del.

We assume that a lady must have been the attraction. However, Buddy is so quiet and everything is so mys- terious about him that we've heen able to find out but little. He suffers with a strange disease which is neither contagions nor infeetions, This malady has been diagnosed by the Juniors and found to be an affliction of the brain, which causes him to like the smell of the Chemical Laboratory, where he daily demon- strates that there are no such things as unknowns. No medical term ean be found to cover this affliction, and up to the present time the Juniors have been tnable to think of a strong enongh enss word to eall it.

Archie Homewood Dean, whose favorite ocenpation is dissecting mad dogs under the supervision of ' Doe' Watson, eomes from Newark, Arch received his primary edueation in the Newark High School and after loafing three years decided to enter Delaware College. 1f he was a worthy addition to the old institution' it is still an unknown fact; but anyhow, he is here, and we shall have to take care of him. Arch never had much love for the girls, so he savs, but it has been reported that he has been seen running around the ontskirts of the town during the wee hours of the morning. What his mission was we have never been able to find out. One thing we will hand' this worthy subject is, that he is somewhat of a chemist. As soon as he hit the college he applied for Tiff's job, but when Tiff informed him that he could not dictate to a die- tator ' he decided that he must be content with his lowly position. The Class of 1914 expeets great things from Arch before he leaves the Blue and Gold, Here's hoping he does not put them off until he reaches the outer, to say noth. ing of the other, world, a3 FRARE HoMawWooD DREAN, B .. oo wia e s s s e s Newark, Del, S DEANIE Thus far can I praise him ; He is of nohle strain Of approved valor, And eonfirmed honesty. ' Corporal, Quartermaster Sergeant, Class Basketball 1911-12, 1912-13 : I'ndoor ffym Meet 1911, Frank reminds one somewhat of an algebraie equation; but at that he is not such a bad fellow. Before Deanie, who, by the way is a Newark boy, be- came sidetracked under the watchful eve of Dr. Sypherd, he used to do the theme writing stunt for the prineipal of the Newark High School. He iz a quiet sort of a chap, somewhat different from brother Bill and strictly ob- serves the motto oftentimes given to small children, Speak when you are spoken to. Deanie is sort of fieckle when it comes to girls. No? Well, then, it must be becanse he wishes to follow in his big brother Arch's footsteps, Our advice to Frank is to keep away from his brother's track and pick one all for himself, As a side issne we might mention that Frank is an aspirant for mili- tary honors. He will go to sleep on the drill ground. The Class of 1914 hopes, or, in fact, knows that Deanie will get over his childish ways, and when he leaves the old institution we shall find his name printed in big letters upon the bricks of the dormitory.

We have often asked him if the Dock eonld be used before instead of at the beginning of his last name. He said he didn't care, providing it eame in somewhere.

He would every bit as leave go and see 8 moving pieture show in Wilmington as work in the shop an afterncon.

In habits he is a lackadaisieal sort of a fellow, saying very little. About twice every week Madge' goes on o rampage and does his best to blow things up.' Benny ' is somewhat of a baseball artist, having played both indoor and ontdoor baseball on the elass team. Some piteher, too. Norman was onee asked if there were any girls in his eity.

Although Red, as he is commonly known, received his early and limited edueation in the public sehools of Delmar, he has gained a reputation sinee entering Dela- ware not only as a student but as an athlete and military man. Why, he has often been heard to remark, If 1 only had both of my legs I would show those fellows something. The only ecomplaint that can be made azainst this searlet haired beanty is that he is entirely deficient in Iibrary work and this is a fatal defect in the eyes of Dir. Sypherd.

Elmer developed a remarkable taste for the ladies, which taste he has retained to a considerable degree. An almost disastrous ocenrrenee happened at the beginning of this vear when one of the fair ones with whom he had been corresponding for over a year informed him that it would be unneeessary for him to write to her any longer as she was married.

The point of the joke mentioned never penetrated Tobe's marble dome. If it had been started from his feet and sent up we might have had some hope, because those old number 12 brogans give him a rather large foundation for his knowledge, By the way he is a particular pet of the coach, who told him that he hadn't as much foothall spirit as Dr, Harter's dog. We always knew that the coach was a bonehead but he proved it for fair when he picked Tobe for center on the Varsity Team. When Tobe first came over to college he wanted to take a shower bath one evening. He turned on the boil- ing water and started to jump under with part of his clothes on, when some kind friend rescued him and saved our class the expense of a bunch of flowers. He also had one slip over on him up at Haverford. As there are no swimming poolz in Elkton he did not know what the tankful of water in the Haverford Gym. was for, But when the others told him he, dove in and liked it so well that they had to drag him out.

We have been wondering ever sinee we knew him how Wilmington ever stood the shock. It has produced one great man, at least; a deep thinker with a great mind. He got his start in life by selling alominum ware, Many's the day he trudged his weary way from door to deor displaying and demonstrating the merits of his wonderful utensils, At one house in particular he left a lasting im- pression, A kindly old lady answered his persistent knoek., He at onee proceederd to show her an aluminnm griddle which needed no grease to keep those delieions cakes from sticking and burning. The old lady refused to listen to his eloguent address until he modestly informed her that he was studying for the ministry, and selling this ware to help pay his expenses throngh college. This tale aroused her sympathy and she purchased the griddle, Sam went on his way rejoicing, The old lady tried the griddle, burnt up her cakes, and gaid, Just to think; that beautiful young man and him a-studyin fer the ministry, too. Aside from his ministerial labors he does a little eleetrical work. Whenever the eall comes to re- pair electric lamps or eireuits, he and Loomis with pliers and serew drivers rush forth regardless of dangers, such as falling off a ladder or freexing to death, and think only of the comfort and safety of the faculty and fellow students. Truly he is a nohle assistant in the Short Clirenit Squad. 112 LT T I 2T 1 T r: ulmh ILLH mm i A T Ly el e e e o Red Lion, Del, SLIVER; STERLING .

Many and strange were the faces and it was interesting to see how they looked shyly about in vain effort to spy the face of a friend. They hailed from all quar- ters of the globe, it seemed, for the names of some of their home towns were so unfamiliar as to be unhesitatingly located in the is- land of Madagascar. Everyone was in high spirits, however, because he was entering upon the best four years of his life. Only one man was known to have invested in any of the college securities, and he well, he had spent enough in scheduole blanks and seats in ehapel to wreek the Newark Banl, As we were thus enjoving the first few moments as classmates in the Ora- tory a few Seniors entered and, while handing out free chunks'' of advice, dabbed our foreheads with ink so that we could recognize one another in the rush. These necessary preliminaries eompleted we nervously wended our way to the field of conflict. At the signal we charged down the field and met the foe head on. SBoon squirming in the grass were the opposing classmen struggling for supremacy, while others not engaged,for we outnumberad the 1914 class, awaited the opportune moment, At the end of ten minutes, when hostilities had eeased, it was found that the Sophomores had nine disabled men while we had only one, With this vietory to our eredit we hastened baek to onr stronghold Oratoryand elected Kelly temporary leader, We were soon at work, that is at work marking off the football field and wearing a skull eap, with a green button the size of Ireland adorning it. We eonsidered this disagreeable, to say the least, but resistance was useless. Con- sequently we struggled valiantly and made the best of it. In the middle of No- vember we had the final election of our class officers. As a result Martone was elected president and Brockson vice-president. Little and Cobb received the also ran'' jobs of secretary and treasurer, It was now necessary for us to develop a elass football team, for we had been served with a writ of mandamus' to meet the 1914 Class Team in a pig- skin eontestceustom hung up in 1893 by an influential character named Sibbs, Our hopes of vietory were small. Nothing but the green-eyed monster of defeat could overtake us, aceording to our soothsayer, Pat' MeCarthy. But Dame Fortune smiled upon us and we tied the score, 6 to 6. That day many of our men put their name in the Hall of Fame, 122 Our class was soon in the limelight again. This time it was the Indoor Track Meet. We hadn't as yet reached our zenith; consequently we deemed it proper to carry off the bacon. We had hardly crossed this date off the cal- endar when a still larger one confronted usthe Freshman-Sophomore basket- ball gnme. We humbled the Sophs., seore, 10 to 9, but lost the ehampionship of the college to the Seniors, 25 to 9. With the advent of the next term we found that mid-vears had redueed our number to 64, This inspired many of us to greater efforts, but the groelling life was too much for us. Congequently we planned a monster ecelebrationthe class banquet. Aeccordingly on Friday evening, March 8, 1912, we donned our best scenery ' and went to Dock's, in Wilmington, where we almost broke up the performance, After the show we had the eats, and sat down at the table at exactly half-past eleven. The main amusement here was the singing of the little ballad entitled 'If James D, MeCoy frowned would John Leslie Heyd 1 by our vocalist, Owens. The time passed all too quickly, however, and at quar- ter of four we passed in review before the Head Mogul' Weaver. The following lull lasted but a short time, for the outline of our class base- ball team silhonetted against the college horizon roused us to action. But the two remaining Freshmen-Sophomore athletie contests were destined to go to the common enemy and we lost the baseball game, 10 to 9, and track meet, 55 to 44 The only things which remained for us to do were to elect Sophomore Class of- ficers and to endure the final exams. The result of the election was: Weaver, President ; Wallace, Vice-President; Rhodes, Beeretary, and Lindsay, Treasurer. The result of the finals was appalling, for fully fifteen faithful standard bearers were lost to our elass, leaving only 44 men who were sure of returning in Sep- tember, During the week before the 17th of September enough of the members of the elags of 1915 arrived to give the 1916 elass adherents a mild dose of college life. This fun had its real eulmination in the rush, which we captured, 12 to 9, being the first rush which a Sophomore Class has won for ten vears, After this we followed in the footsteps of the previous Sophomores. We gave the Fresh- men just a taste of hazing, which soon tanght them what to do and what not to dohitter pills, but they swallowed them nobly. In retaliation for their supposed unfair treatment they drew blood in the annual elass struggle on the gridiron. Buat they had nothing to erow over be- eause with three green men on the line and but two more on the team who had played all season we did admirably against a combination composed entirely of Varsity and serub men, with two execeptions. The defeat, therefore, acted az a stimulus for us to overwhelm them in the Indoor Track Meet. Secore, Fresh- men, 21; Sophomores, 19, At this point the work of the historian ceases, but yon will pardon a few words of propheey.

On this day fifty timid young men entered upon their college ecareers by taking the en- tranee examinations in English Composition in Room No. 11 of Reeitation Hall. What a nervous, distracted crowd of hoys we were, Some hegan to wonder if a jump out of the window wounld have any bad after effeets; others had a sickly imitation of a dare-devil smile on their faces. If it had not been for the en- tranee of the professor at this psychologieal moment T firmly be- lieve that about ten of us would now be engaged in other pursuits. The examination soon started; some weathered and some un- weathered ' the storm. At any rate the ice was broken ; we came to earth again, The night of the eleventh was one fatal night. We think of it now as the thirteenth' instead of the eleventh. On this night a erowd of about fifty thonsand Sophs introduced us to some of the remarkable things necessary for a Freshman to know, A shower bath was the first thing on the program. We did not mind this; next Fourth of July was a long way off. Then, we gave some wonderful exhibitions of singing. It was so sad the angels in heaven must have wept. Next in order was the performance of feats of strength on our part, such as pieking a penny out of a quart jar full of molasses with the aid of our nose and rolling a peanut not an ordinary peanut, but a midget'' peanut along the aisles of the Oratory with a toothpick, Modestly speaking we ecer- tainly did perform well. To tell the truth we brought down the house with bursts of thunderous applause. Eddie' Foy and Charlie Hitcheock were made to look like selling platters. My! If David Belasco had only been present. At 7.30 on the following morning we had concluded our entertain- ment. We were heartily thanked for our kindness and as we had shown so much talent' it was neeessary for us to repeat our performanee three or four times during the next few weeks, Two weeks after the eleventh we engaged in the annual rush or rope fight' with the Sophs. This was some battle, Bestowing praise where praise is due, we must admit that we licked ourselves. We had no organiza- tion; one Freshman did not know his brother Freshman. As a result of this Freshmen were fighting Freshmen all over the field, and the Sophs won. Does this explain, gentle reader, how we eame to be defeated? If not we will have to try some other explanation, By this time lessons were in full swing. Doe' Sypherd and Rudy Brager are ''bears' when it comes to assigning work., We began to wonder if 131 they were 11 . 1:;-- to ki ns. At any rate we are gtill here batting at an aver- age of about 350, : The next nul.'1blu' oecenrrence was the class foothall game, Almost all the members of the Varsity were in our elass. The Sophs put up a good battle for the r elass began to tell and we walked away with a 14 to O vietory, In the indoor meet shortly after the Sophs got baek at us by winning, Hint l' Or ud'f'l'!ll Hi t'HlEI ;:i' HI - i'l'HI 'l!l':'III.lIPl'H F ounr I':I:.HH hn'l.'f' llt'l'rl G- pelled, through one reason or another, to withdreaw, This is deeply regretted by us. In our class are some few men who give indieations of more than aver- age ability and in the eourse of years we hope to read their names in the Hall of Fame, There may be a genins in our midst, who knows?t HISTORIAN, 132 ui 'lh p -mnu i i S it 'IPE !11!'; 9 tur i m m.rlj!.lmr. e m LY LN LT LE-T Memhbers of the Class of 1916 LEo BLUMBERG . .uvsvsvsraies e A A e R TGk 23 Wilmington Raony MiErem BONMWELL, TH AL L, o aeiain s iasis s e sns ons Kennedyville, Md B s g B i e LTy FE e o, A R P Frederiea Delta Phi Literary Society, Y.

The chapters of the Phi Kappa Phi are located as follows: 1898, University of Maine, 1899, Pennsylvania State College, 1900, University of Tennessee. 1901, Massachusetts Agricultural College. 1904, Delaware College. 1912. Towa State College. 1912, TUniversity of Florida. The badge is an eight-rayed representation of the sun surrounding the earth, across which there is a band displaying the letters K . The band rep- resents union in a world of thoughtful men. The eight ravs represent Art, His- tory, Literature, Philosophy, Religion, Seience, Philology, and Sociology, The Delaware College chapter of Phi Kappa Phi was installed January 13, 1905, by Professor Benjamin F. Gill, M. A., of State College, Pa., treasurer- general of the fraternity, The charter members were the following: Representing Delaware College Facully GeorGE A. HarTER, M. A., Ph. D. Treopore R.

Vernon was blazing the way for the American Republic, that Delawareans were given the name of Bfue fjen's Chicks. Captain Caldwell, of Kent county, Delaware, was extremely fond of cock fighting and he always kept in his camp some chickens of the Bfue fpen stock. No chickens could fight so well as the QBfue fjen's chickens. Soon the men of Captain Caldwell's company were jestingly designated in the army as the Bfue fHen's Chicks, and the name stayed with them throughout the war and has come down until today all Delawareans are known as the QBfue FHen's Chicks. 1al Dear QOld Delaware COLLEGE SONGH Music by Cras.

CoNNELLER, 14 158 Iop Frazer Field ELAWARE COLLEGE ean now boast of a modern athletie field. With the exception of its seating eapacity the Joe Frazer Field is the equal of any, and surpasses all but a few of the athletie fields of the east, Because of the small erowds that attend athletie events here, as compared with the larger colleges, only a amall seating ea- pacity is required. The field is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Eben B, Frazer and Stanley Frazer as a memorial to their son and brother, Joseph H. Frazer, who died last yvear in Bolivia, The field was graded by Stewart and Donohue, of Wilmington, In grading it was necessary to remove abont 20,000 eubie yards of dirt. The plans for the entire field were made by Wilbur Wilson, a loeal eivil engineer, after visits to numerons other college fields, Mr, Frazer and his son gave the work their personal supervision at all times, and were in eonstant touch with Mr. Wilson' in case they thonght it of any benefit to make minor changes and additions to the original plans as the work progressed, Our coach, Mr. MeAvoy, was also on the ground and assisted with the work. A seven foot wall, built of tile and eovered with eement, surrounds the en- tire field. The wall adjoins the extreme western part of the gymnasinm, which practically places that building within the athletic field. The other end of the wall ends at Mechanical Hall, so that these two buildings really form part of the wiall. The memorial gate, which is a speeial feature of the field, is at the main entrance, between the gyvmnasinom and Mechanical Hall, The baseball diamond is loeated at the southeast corner of the fiel 1. It is a modern diamond in every particular and modelled after those in the major league, with the grass centre and skin base paths. This baseball field is one of the largest in Delaware ; in it there is plenty of room, especially in left and cen- tre fields, for home runs within the grounds, and in faet it is practically impos- sible to knock the ball out of this field in fair territory, The quarter-mile track starts at the western end of the field and is oval in shape, In the centre is the football gridiron. This gridiron will also be used for pole vaulting, high jumping and other field sports. By extending the south- ern straight conrse of the track to the east it gives a 220-yvard straightaway, and, with the exception of Harvard, Delaware is the only college in the east to have this feature. 167 The exaet location of the tennis courts has not been definitely decided, but there will probably be six of them placed on the northwest corner of the field. The entire field is fitted with the French drain svstem, so that it will be fit for sports a short time following a heavy rain, Beginning at a point near the southeast corner of the field, where the hase- ball grandstand is loeated, a terrace begins. There is 8 gradual rise in this ter- race until it reaches a point about in front of Mechanical Hall ; then it starts to slope down again until it reaches the northern section of the wall. The terrace, which is now sodded, presents a very pleasing appearance. At the top of the terrace a space is reserved for automobiles, Tt is estimated this space will ae- eommodate 600 machines, The entrance for machines is at the east end of Me- chanical Hall, mEMNEAEgEm 158 P ., N i - - - e e Cidil L . o u.!....,. - s b 1 i a2 - ..M i e ! e VTR Vs A e o, B i o el g e bk .... 4 ......

OO0TBALL is the major sport at Delaware College, and although we have only a few men to piek from, Delaware usually has a good team, The seores of this year's games show that the team was not suecessful, but the seore does not show all. The team this year was inexperienced and excep- tionally light. Every man worked hard and showed the old Delaware spirit-a spirit of the do or die varietv. As a eonsequence of this re- awakened spirit the seores were much lower than they would have been otherwize. Every man from Captain Jimmy Huston to the water boy was working for the Blue and Gold' every minute. We won but one game, the last game of the season, that with Maryland College. Dela- ware, 50; Maryland College, 0, Our first game was with the Lehigh team. We were ontelassed and lost, 45 to 1. 'We lost to Haverford, 14 to 1, the next week. Haverford was of about the same weight as Delaware, but a little too fast for the Blue and Gold, The team came back strong the next week and tied the heavy Lebanon Valley team, 0 to 0. Then fol- lowed a series of hard Inck games. We lost to Washington College, T to 0; Muhlenberg, 21 to 0 Catholic University, 7 to 0; and Gettysburg, 29 to 0, in rapid succession., In our last game we waon, 50 to 0, with the serub team playing the last fuarter, Delaware was outweighed in every game she was in with the exeeption of Haverford, In the Muhlenberg game Huston and Cann, two of our 161 HUSTON Football Captain, 1912 ZI6T aVNHS TIVALOOA XALISHVA.

The season of 1912 was the worst season ever experienced by a Delaware Colleze basehall team. The Blue and Gold ' did not win a single game, Coach MacAvoy did his best to form a winning eombination. DBut try as he would Mae' couldn't seem to get a good fielding and batting team at the same time. Jolls's arm, which was sore at the beginning of the year, got in good shape about CUOACH MeAVOY mid-season and Eph'' pitched some of the best ball of his eareer, but did not receive proper sup- port. Geoghegan, a Freshman, shared the bur- den of the pitching and did well eonsidering his lack of experience. The team sorely missed Dunn and Marshall, the two 1911 men who played sueh a fine game the year before. Bob' Harvey was shifted from short to play Bishop's' old peosition at seeond, Taylor, '15, taking his place. Knopf took Joe's position in left field, while Foster eovered the centre garden vaeated by Knopf. Right field was never the same in any two games, but Geoghegan held down the position when he was not pitehing, Captain Hoch played his usual brilliant game at first base and handled the team as well as possible, Hoeh, Harvey, Taylor and Lind compuosed the infield and played their best, al- though they were not the stars of that famous quartet of the previous year, Hoeh, Dunn, Harvey and Dick' Taylor. Diek'' was 164 N L L D L AL L LR L g LTIy 157 placed in left field after the first few games, and Lind took his place at third. This change made a better combination. C. Taylor, Enopf and Foster covered the garden positions. The outfield was weak and many games were lost through their slew fielding. The real weakness of the team is hard to determine, but it really seemed to be a combination of weak fielding and weaker batting. On the days that the team was batting well the errors were s0 nnmerous that our opponents won easily, Likewise, when the team was fielding like fiends no one could hit the pill for love or money. This sad state of affairs cansed our downfall. Lack of interest among the students helped in a great measure to discourage the team. Only the superb pitching of Jolls kept down the scores. We all hope for better success next vear when the team will again be led by Elmer Hoeh, '14. The team took no southern trip last yvear dur- ing Easter vaeation as had been the custom for many years. The reason for giving up the southern trip was purely a financial one. The trip had always been a finaneial loss due to bad weather at that time of the year and long jumps between games. For these reasons the manager and eoach thought that the trip had best be omitted from the schedule. Our first game was with our old rivals, Swarth- more. The team went up against the strong Garnet nine with but one day's practice. The result might have been foreseen, We lost, but only after a hard strugele in which the Blue and Gold outbatted its opponents. We were next defeated by the strong A. and M. team of South Carolina. Our next game on the schedule, the HOCH game with P. C. P., had to be cancelled on Captain Baseball Team, 1012-13 account of rain, We lost our next two games to Lebanon Valley and Albright by easy seores. Rain prevented the C. U. game. The team braced at this time and the remaining scores were all very close with the exception of the Fordham game, which we lost, 15 to 2, Edward L. Rice, 12, was manager and Artisan Smith, 13, assistant man- ager, Artisan Smith, '13, was eleeted manager for 1913 and Alfred Connellee, 14, was elected assistant manager, 165 BASEBALL TEAM 'VARSITY RESULTS Delaware-Drexel, rain Delaware, 6 ; Swarthmore, 12 Delaware, 7; A. and M., 11 Delaware-P.

We played a long, hard schedule, but Captain Sawin and his bunch of hustlers eame out on the large end of the score, This year the team, under the eaptainey of Wallace Sawdon, has shown remarkable form, considering that three men playing on the Var- sity are Freshmen. We lost all of last vear's Varsity with the exeeption of Billy Cann. But the quintet composed of SBawdon, Cann, Weimer, Rigney, and Hirschman, with Lacklen as a fast substitute, has shown that Delaware needs not to fear the outeome of her basketball schedule, Thus far we have played four games and lost three, but the ecloseness of the scores shows that as soon as the Blue and Gold team rets settled there will be some scores with Dela- ware on the large end.

We did not win any meet, but the old Blue and Gold' was in the running from start to finigh, which looks well for a sueeessful season this vear. This yvear our meet with Muhlenberg will be held May 30, on our new Frazer Field. A relay team will be entered at the Penn- sylvania relay races.

Harper was the only Delaware man to make a good showing, although Harvey and Sehlittler tied for first place in the pole vaunlt. The sturdy lad from over on the BEastern Bho of Maryland' ran away from the Muhlenberg stars in the dashes. Archie Dean seored first in the low hurdles.

John's, Muahlenberg, Maryland Apgri- eultaral College, Gallaudet, and Catholie University. Harper ran the best race of all the men. The team eomprised Manning, '12; Harper, '15; Sawdon, 2, and En- nig, '12. At the Inter-Collegiate Track Meet, held at 3t John's College, Annapolis, Delaware entered men in the 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, 220 yard hordles, pole vault, and relay race. Harper, 15, finished third in the 100 yard dash, Sehlittler, 13, finished third in the pole vault, Dean, 14, finished third in the 220 yard hurdles, Relay team finished second in the relay race, INTER-CLASS MEET The final meet was the annual inter-class track and field meet, held on the college track. The track had just been put in shape the day before and was in very poor condition. Fast time was made eonsidering the conditions. A. H. Dean was the highest individual peint winner with 15 points to his eredit. But the man who elinehed the vietory for the winners was little Babe MeCafferty. ' Babe' won the final relay from Mearns, the speedy Freshman, after Mearns had a five yarl lead. It was a beautiful race and evervone had praises for the plucky Sophomore. To these two men the Class of 1914 owes its vietory. The Class of 1914 finished first with 53 points; 1915 second with 39 points: 1912 finished third with 28 points; and 1913 fourth with 5 points, Snmmary : 100 yards dashWon by Harper, '15; Ennis, 12, second ; Dean. 14. third.

We hold the distinetion of having eight men on the 'Varsity football squad during our Freshman vear, PFive of these men played at regular positions. We won our football game with the Sophomores, 18 to 5. In our game with the class of 1915 the best score we conld make was 5 to 5, althongh we had the ball across the enemy's goal line three times.

We lost to the Freshmen by a close seore, The Class of 1914 won itself a great name when it defeated the Class of 1913 in the seeond annual indoor meet, held at the college, by an overwhelming seore, The Sophomores proved an easy proposition and only captured first in one event. Two records were made, one in the high jump and the other in the shot put. The indoor meet in our Sophomore yvear was lost to the Freshmen by the geore of 21 to 19, We lost the meet through poor management and not because of the athletie superiority of the Freshmen team. CLASS BASEBALL TEAM 183 A AN LY There has been but very little inter-class tennis, but we can boast of the fact that the eaptain of the tennis team in onr Sophomore year was a member of the Class of 1914. Elmer K. Hoch is the man who attained this distinetion by his brilliant and consistent playing. In baseball we have been fairly suceessful. In our Freshman year we had a long schedule of games and only made an even break in vietories. We lost our contest with the Sophomores, which, of course, kept us out of the finals. The secore was close, 5 to 4. Qur loss was due mainly to the fact that Hoeh, our first bazeman and heavy hitter, was hit in the head by a pitehed ball and had to leave the game in the third inning. We eame haek strong in our Sophomore wvear and beat the Freshmen, 7 to 5, in a fine game, The result was always in doubt., The game was won in the ninth after two men were out. Singles by Hoch and Huston and a pass and a double by Lind brought vietory to the Class of 1914. The SBeniors defeated the Juniors and we were ready to fight it out for the championship and the eup. The game was started and at the end of three innings we were on the large end of a 5 to 0 seore. Then came the one thing that lost for us the chance to keep the eup from the Seniorsa torrent of rain. When the game was replayed we were over onfident and lost by the close score of 6 to 4. This defeat lost us a chance ever to win the inter-elass cup. CLASS BASKETBALL TEAM 184 e ,:Jrl,h m-...ef, NI l'-u-lh'n L 'Jr Alter it CLASS TRACK TEAM We have alwavs stood strong in track events, Two men of the Class of 1914 are the holders of college records. In our Freshman vear we came out second in the interelass track and field meet. Our efforts in our second year were muech better and we won the meet by a large score, In snmmarizing the athletic history of the Class of 1914 we can safely say that, although we have lost some athletie contests, we have won more vietories and given to the college more athletes than any other elass, with the probahle exception of the Class of 1912, We have lost some of our athletes but are al- wavs ready to uphold the glory and honor of our Alma Mater and the Class of 1914.

Previous to 1889 Delaware College had no army officer for instruetor, but the stu- dents were drilled by civilians or members of the faculty who had received a military training at other eolleges, The first officer detailed by the War Department was General Brown, who eame to Delaware in 1889, General Brown when ap- pointed was a first lientenant of the Eleventh U, 5. Infantry, The following men have been detailed as instructors of cadets at O0ld Delaware: 1889-1892, General Leroy Brown. 1892-1884, Captain E. C. Brooks. 1894-1897, Major James H. Frier. 1897-1898, Major Walter Gordon, 1808-1898, Lieutenant Charles I. Cabaniss. 1899-1902, Captain B. 8. Avis. 19021904, Major Treadwell W. Moore, 19041907, Major Edward W, MeCaskey, 1907-1911, Lieutenant Edgar 5. Stayer. 1911-1913. Lieutenant F. B. Eastman. 1913 , Lieutenant . !, Herman, The eadet corps consists of four eompanies, band and signal detachment. The men use two uniforms, the full dress gray nniform, and in the snmmer the khaki. These uniforms are purchased by the stundent. The balance of the equipment, eonsisting of rifle and aceoutrements, ammunition, ete., is fornished by the government. 187 Each year the War Department sends an inspector from the Inspector Gen- eral's Department to inspect and report on the condition of government prop- erty, and the degree of efficiency of the cadets, The military training which a student receives at Delaware College fits him for a eompany officership of infantry, volunteers, or militia. It teaches him habits of prompiness and obedience, as well as fitting him for patriotic duty. Among those who have been graduated from Delaware to become officers in the Delaware Militia are: Major C. A, Short, Captain R. Rodney, Captain Joseph Lawson, Captain R. Carswell, Lieutenant H. M. Jones, Lieutenant H. T. Ennis, Lieutenant W. 8. Corkran, Each year, on Commencement Day, a competitive drill is held for the Roberts medal. At this time the officers for the following yvear are named. The eommissioned officers are chosen from the Senior elass, while the non-coms'' eome from the Junior and Sophomore classes. The Freshmen class comprise the majority of privates. The three men who attain the highest standing in the military department are reported to the military secretary of the United States, and to the Adjutant. General of Delaware. These names are published in the Army Register, The military department is of great importance in training men, and should, therefore, be awarded an important place in the college currieulum. 188 Military Orpanization Battalion of Four Companies, Band and Signal Detachment Commandant of Codels Lientenant Franois B, EAsTMAN Cadet Officers Major, ARTISAN SMITH Staff Adjutant, W, A.

HE first permanent organization of the Y. M. C. A, of this college was formed in 1898, There had been an attempt to organize an as- sociation in 1891, but this was only a weak organization, which remained inactive until 1898, In this year Dr. Manning, then a member of the faculty, eneouraged the students to develop an ac- tive organization. The following year Mitehell, 03, infused new life into the association, It was in this year that the praectice of sending delegates to the Northfield Student Conference was begun. Since that time Delaware has always been represented by either three or four delegates, while in 1902 six men were sent. Last year we were represented by Sawdon, 13; Blades, 13; and Loomis, 14. Delaware College Y. M. C. A. is a member of the Tri-State Association. In previous years we were well represented at their annual conference, but within the past few years we have had only a few representatives present. This con- ference is usnally held during onr commencement week; consequently we are not able to send the right men at that time, The Y. M. C. A. meetings are usually held on Sunday afterncons, as this time seems most practicable, At this meeting moral topics of the day are dis- eussed, Oftentimes spirited discussions develop over one of the selected topics. These meetings frequently are followed by a walking trip to some nearby point of interest, Each year the Y. M. !, A, has a special reception meeting, At this meeting reports are heard from the delegates to the Northfield Conference which was held during the vacation. Members of the faenlty nsually address the students at this reception. Professors Short and Roberts spoke before the reception last fall. Following the regular program refreshments are served. It is at this meeting that the members of the entering elass become better acquainted with the older men, : Sometimes meetings are held in one of the loeal ehurches, An evening ser- vice is given over to the college Y. M. C. A, During commencement week the anniversary exercises are held. A promi- 194 o o S I timrri Er-iir nent minister is seleeted to deliver the annual address. Last year a former president of the Y. M, C. A,, Rev. J. H. Mitchell, '03, was the speaker, The Y. M. C. A, room is located on the third floor of the west wing of the dormitory building. It is tastefully furnished and serves as a study or meeting room for the students, The officers are elected annually by the students at a meeting ealled for that purpose, Each vear the Y. M. C. A. Handbook is issned and presented to the stu- dents. This book contains mueh valuable information sueh as eollege rules, con- stitution of the Athletie Association, eollege records, songs, yells, athletic and recitation schedules, and other information coneerning points of interest within the vieinity of the eollege. 107 Che Athenavan Literary Soriely HE Athenaean Literary Society came into existence on December 18, 1834, through the efforts of a group of students, who, acting upon the adviee of the faculty, met and banded themselves together as a literary organization. The Athenaean ecan justly elaim supremacy in age over her old rival, the Delta Phi, although the latter, by adopt- ing a constitution on Jaounary 12, 1835, won out in that respect by a margin of three weeks, The Society took an active part in all college affairs until 185Y, when, owing to the elosing of the college, it went ont of existence temporarily. Upon the reopening of the eollege in 1870 it was reorganized immediately and has sinee been a prominent factor in student life. In 1881 the State Legislature passed aets incorporating the Soeiety and granting it an official charter. From 1881 until 1901 the SBociety enjoyed an unbroken era of usefulness and prosperity. Then for some unknown reason there followed a period of two vears during whieh it was practically dead. In 1903 it was brought to life again and lasted that time until the latter part of 1911, At the present time the Soeiety is not in a flourishing condition. The Athenaean's aim has been and is to develop the literary abilities of the students and aid them in eultivating the talent of expressing themselves elearly before an audience. The Society may well be proud of her many sons who have gone out into the world and won fame for themselves and their Alma Mater. They have gained honors and suceesses by the same aggressiveness, love of work, and loy- alty to their ideals that, in their student days, enabled them, usnally, to trinmph over Delta Phi men in inter-society contests. 188 LITERARY SOCIETY DELTA PHI jul.!-'lf r. . +.J.u-lhw,.1..l 3 -fl.'-ril!M b I ll 521'5 HE Delta Phi Literary Society, Delaware's oldest literary soeiety, was founded January 12, 1835, At that time it was legally incorporated and new charters were obtained in 1871 and 1895, The Society was the outgrowth of a recommendation by the faculty to the students for the organization of literary societies. The students acted upon the recommendation and organized two literary societies. But as the students would not submit to the conditions imposed by the faculty the two societies existed sub rosa, until, after a short time, the restrictions were removed and the societies beeame recogmized bodies. Thus, a few months after the founding of the college the Delta Phi Literary Society was founded and its history bhegan. Many years have passed since that early founding, and we read now from the records, and learn from the traditions handed down from year to yvear of the work accomplished and of the work planned by the members of Delta Phi. For the work of the members of Delta Phi has always been strong and earnest. They have comfortably furnished a large well-lighted hall in the west wing of the old college building, and have collected a large well selected library of gen- eral literature, history, biography and popular seience. On the rolls of the Delta Phi Society may be found the names of men who have sinee risen to the foremost ranks of their profession, and each man will gladly testify to the good which Delta Phi did for him. In the language of a past historian, The benefits of our societies are indispensable, for here we learn the value of speech ; here we are tanght to think quickly and deeply ; here we receive our first lessons in oratory ; here is where selfishness of all sorts is set aside and each brother works for his hrother's good : here we are taught to love and be loved. Nothing in the eollege should be held in greater esteem nothing should have a greater claim upon the student's heart than the literary societies, for nothing binds them more elosely together, nothing makes them so much a nnit, and no other feature of college life is so gladly looked baek upon. 201 ENGINEERING SOCIETY m.lmq,r i ?rr: vafErrmEmt ttaliori! : Engineering Soriety Offirers . 8.

BENNETT 2005 The Agricultural Club EEING the neeessity of an organization to stimulate interest in the Agrienltural Department, in December, 1909, the agricultural stn- dents of Delaware College formed the Agricultural Club. Then the foundation stone was put in place and from that time great progress has heen evident. The eight charter members, namely, E, H. Shall- eross, H. 8. Garrison, W. L. Kirby, R. G. Hill, A, 8. Houchin, Jr., Alfred Smith, R. C. Wilson and M. R. Gwilliam, showed their seriousness of purpose by the zeal which they put into the weekly meetings. These young men stirred the in- terest of the professors, who from time to time offered valuable suggestions in their talks before the club. The professors were so interested that they gave formal lectures on agrienltural subjects, held debates, and entered into diseus. sions on eurrent topies. Each member was given time and opportunity to ex- press himself upon assigned or self-chosen subjects. Thus it was that eight students slowly but earnestly blended into an active and praiseworthy unit. By way of appreciation for the honorable work done by the eight original mem. bers the year of 1909-10 was brought to a elose by an enjoyable banqguet. September of the following college year bronght the club seven new mem- bers. Before the year was well begun the old members had aroused the interest of the new ones and things went off again at full swing. The elnb was kept in the eyes of the public by agrienltural articles which appeared in one of the lo- cal papers. As almost everybody knows that a elub is not organized in a day you may imagine the diffieulties which the boys encountered, Nevertheless the entire number labored hard and long and as a result the vear ended with the club running on a firm basis. It was in September, 1911, when the wide possibilities of the elub hegan to be recognized. The class of 1915 entered college with nearly a score of agri- eultural students, Heretofore even the most enthusiastic members had not hoped to have a membership much larger than the charter membership. The inerease in the size of the elub in such a short time was far above all expecta- tions. On account of this inerease the organization was able to formulate more extensive plans for the enrrent year. A cattle judging team was sent to Chi- cago and, eonsidering the training, did eredit to the institution. In December almost all the members of the club attended the Delaware State Corn Show, held in Dover. Representatives of the elub were present at the famous annunal sale of imported Jersey cattle at Coopersburg, Pa., May 30, 1912, Thus in every possible way efforts were made to give the memhbers of the elub a more extensive view of their work than they could get from their rontine work of the field, classroom and laboratory. So far this vear was the most successful of all. In plaee of a banguet, as was held the preceding year, the elub was invited to spend 200 The present Freshman class of 1916, with its sixteen Aggics, demon. strated beyond a donbt that interest in agrienltural work at Delaware was still on the inerease. At an informal reception held early in the term in honor of the new men nearly all of the eligible Freshmen expressed their desire to become members of the Agrieultural Club. Weekly meetings were again held and eon. dueted in mueh the same manner as in previous vears. A second cattle judging team, trained by Professor M, 0, Cooper, was sent to Chicago and ranked two places higher than the team of the preceding year. A eommittee from the elub assisted in condueting an amatear corn judging contest at the State Corn Show, held in Wilmington, Jannary 15 to 17. The gquestion of publishing a periodical has been favorably diseussed and it is probable that within a short time the elub will edit a monthly agrienltural jonrnal. The members have shown re- markable interest in their work and if their attitnde is maintained success is inevitable. The value of the elub has already been appreciated and all that we ean wish is good Inek in the foture. JUDGING TEAM Rifle Clukb President, ARTISAN SMITH Necralary, LIkur, F. B, BASTMAN Treasurer, W, LESLIE BECK Eange Officer, Eparan P. Joris HE Delaware College Rifle Club was organized in the fall of 1908, The elub is affiliated with the National Rifle Association, which promotes rifle practice by means of indoor and outdoor matehes bhetween the different school and colleges thronghout the United States, A medal is presented to the winning team in each set of matches. Medals are awarded also fo individnals who gualify as marksman, sharpshooter, or expert rifleman. Last year Delaware College competed against several other institutions in a series of indoor matehes, No outdoor matehes could be arranged because no range was available, In 1910 there was a range loeated about a half mile from the college used jointly by the eollege team and by the loecal company of the Delaware Militia. This range was broken np and there has never been another built. Several members of the elub have joined the loeal company of the Dela- ware Militia and have thus gained the privilege of using the State Range, near New Castle. The aequirement of an outdoor range would greatly add to the efficiencey of our men, 208 imhrrssusERm s R A The Baud W. F. O'Brex, Drum BMajor . 8. LmnpermaN, Chief Musician First Lientenant T, J.

Some who have at- tended the Proms for over a decade declared this Prom exeelled any they had ever seen here, The ideal of each committes chairman and his assistants was per- feetion. And, truly, each one realized his ideal. The musie was charming, the floor was as smooth as glass; but the most striking features were the programs and decorations. The Old Gold and Blue effeet was carried out very prettily on the pro- grams. The backs were of brass, which shone like pure gold. On the front side the Delaware seal was sunken, while at the lower right hand corner the engraved numerals, 1914, very neatly added to the finished appearance. The cord was of blue silk. The permanency of the materials will only be exeelled by the ever lingering remembrance of this jovial oceasion. Our decorations were the most elaborate of any that have ever been pro- dueed for a Prom.'' The eolor effect of Blue and Gold was earried out. There was not a lightwith the exeeption of the moonwhich did not shine through a blue or gold globe. The entire top of the gymnasinm was converted into a eanopy of bunting. From the ridge pole beams it connected with arches formed around the ronning track. Underneath the track, in the arches, on the beams and the ridge pole, blue and gold lights glimmered without any glare whatever, At each end was a sign made of blue and gold lights; that at the north end blazed forth 1914. while the south end sign bore the letters D-E-I-A-W-A-R-E. Hanging from a beam in one corner a large globe gave the impression, when the other lights were off, of a full moon. The electrieal effect was completed by two large acorns covered with blue and gold lights suspended from the points at each end, which formed the centre of the semiecirele of the LADOPY. The walls were decorated with large fraternity and college banners. Spaced between each light on the running track a college pennant completed the wall decorations. At ome cornmer of the hall, situated under a lattice work which was en- twined with cedars and laurels, a rustic stand held a barrel containing ice water. The corner was banked with blue and gold bunting, Diagonally op- posite to this a well, the top of which was built of huge rocks and covered with mosses and greens, contained the large punch bowl. The entire corner was N ; AL a mass of laurels and cedars, thus giving restfulness to the eye. Our class- mate, W. T, MeCall, coneeived and worked up this decorating scheme, His only reward was appreciation, Our deseription of the hall simply serves as a background for the chief ob- jeetsthe girls. From all parts of Delaware and surrounding states came the prettiest of pretty maidens gowned in silken garments. They glided abount like fairies until, when in the wee sma' hours' the orchestra softly played the strains of Good Night, Dear, we awoke from our dreams to realize that 1914 had eclipsed all other classes with such a delightful Prom, 214 Juninr Promenade CLASS OF 1914 OF DELAWARE COLLEGE, JAN. 31, 1913 COLLEGE GYMNASIUM DANCES Grand March and Introductory Waltz 1 2 4 -1 R -0 10 11 12 To the Class of 1014 Two Step-Take Me to the Cabaret WaltzVenus Walts 3 Two Step-Be My Little Baby Bum- ble Bee WaltzWaltz Caprice Two StepHitchy Koo WaltzDruid's Prayer Two StepYou're My Baby WaltzWall Flower Two StepOn the Mississippi WaltzVision of Salome Two Step-Row, Row, Row WaltzRoses Bloom Alone for Lovers INTERMISSION 13 Two StepGaby Glide 14 WaltzMessage to the Honey Moon 15 Two StepEverybody Two Btep 16 WaltzeDream Love 17 Two BtepLoving Honey Man 18 WaltzTales of Hoffman 18 Two StepRed Rose Rag 20 WaltzLove's Dream After the Ball 21 Two StepWaiting for the Robt.

May 3Doe discovered Dude's cigarette stump. May 4 Dude' decided that he was tired of college, so he left the old in- stitution. Everyhody wept. May BDMeeting of the Maryland Club. Of course the services were con- dueted in an orderly manner, May 10Veale and Craig were seen in Wilmington with a mighty sus. picions looking suit case. May 14Somebody broke Reds' Hearn's cork leg. Now Reds will never be the same. May 16Craig, the eut up' from North East, Md., actually had his hair cut. He easily stnffed several nice pillows, May 20Seotty, 14, turned over a new leaf and joined the Young Men's Christian Assoeiation. May 24 Electrie Watts went to sleep in physies and tumbled from his chair. Who would have believed it! May 25In the series of class games the Seniors defeated the Juniors 5 to 3. Not much excitement exeept that John Attix played for the Seniors. May 31Sophs beat Freshies 8 to 7 by a grand finish, Some exeitement when Emery Loomis smashed out a two-hagger, ? June 6In some unaccountable manner the Seniors heat the Sophs out of the ehampionship by 4 to 2. We haven't entirely recovered from the shock. June TFaenlty vs. Seniors in the ONLY game of the season. It was the last half of the ninth inning and the score was 7 to 7. Reds MeQafferty was on second base. Tiff had pitehed a fine game and now he had two men down and two strikes on Squire Tammany, The spectators were in a piteh of excitement. Even Pete Cella tossed his hat into the air and gave a yell. During the uproar once more Tiff let the ball go, but lo! Squire sent the sphere flying into right field. Dutton missed it, allowing Reds' to seore. Everybody knows what followed. June 10-14Annual examinations. Another one of those shocks which is liable to cause hardening of certain regions of the head. June 14, 430 p. m.The old lady across the street said: That there crowd of boys is kind of a gay bunch, ain't they 1 234 June 17The Preachers' Club had their pieture taken today. Reverend Russell Paynter and his gang are hecoming quite prominent, June 18 Reds' Hearn broke the record for the half mile in the inter- class track meet. June 19We leave the college in the eare of the faithful Hazo Barton, VacATION Sept. 12 College opened. Today also brought us Professor Roberts, or, in other words, Timhie. Sept. 13 Dude ' Raughley eame up to see us and he said that he believed eollege work was easier than working on a pile-driver, Sept. 16It has been rumored around that Earl Lind is trying to grow a mmstache, but so far we have been able to find enly four tiny hairs, Sept. 17The Freshmen and Sophomores usually have a class rush. This time it was some tea party. Sept. 18 During the usnal rush in Recitation Hall to get schedules filled, Paynter slapped Professor Preston on the back and said, T say, old top, have you got your schedule filled yet?'' But we'll exeuse Paynter. Sept. 20The old garden in our back yard is being fixed. Never mind, we'll have some good erops yet. Hept. 24 Willie Behen is about college today and he is still wearing the old straw hat whieh he had when he left two years ago. Sept, 270ur friend, Pat' McKeown, who migrated westward last vear, honored us with a visit. Pat? tells a pathetie story of how he picked peaches for a living and how he slept in the orehard at nights in order to eut down his board hill. Sept. 30Carl Hearne is now making pood on the foothall team. Oct. 1The most Reverend Alfred P. Seott was made pastor of a small chureh near Elsmere. 1t seems queer that after the first Sunday the ehurch was quarantined, Oct. Today Professor Roberts received his pickname, Timbie. She iz perfectly harmless, Oct, 4 Timbie is a holy terrora man of words and not of deeds. Ask Lank about it, Oet. TAbout 1130 p. m. Watts was found eating a ean of raw peas which looked exaetly like the ones used in the Boarding Club. Loomis had to sof- fer, but Watts suffered later. Oct. 10The cadets went to Wilmington to help fill out a parade. Eph Jolls was mounted on a fine looking horse and it seems singular that his feet should get sore the same as ours. Oet. 14Veale went to sleep with a eigar in his mouth and awoke in a few minutes to find his bed blazing., The heighth of carelessness, Oct. 18Dr. Rowan is going to suspend somebody if he finds that the chapel hymn books are not in good eondition, 235 Oet. 20This evening Watts was chairman of a very seleet meeting on the F row. Bhaw was the guest of honor, Oct. 23''Robby cracked a smile in class. Preston execused the elass in surveying about ten minutes before the uscal time. NoteCelebration by Juniors. Oct. 24The Juniors set up the clock on Professor String. They forgot that they had a recitation another day. They got theirs. Oct. 25Professor RobertsI mean Timbie'had a test to the Juniors. Oct. 26Few Juniors about college today, Even Deac Brown was ner- vous, which was due probably to some of Timbie's' electrical shocks, Oect. 27Stanley LoomisDMiss 1T tue. Some class, eh? Oct. 28Paynter heard Shorty use some awful language at the Muh. lenberg game. Of course Russell had a slight attack of heart trouble, Oet, 30Carl Hearne is honoredhe has a special permit from Timbie' to spit out of the window, Nov, 6Messick sneezed so hard in class today that his glasses few off and almost ent Tippett's neck, Nov. 10Seventy cents reward for whoever pins the tail on the donkey. HintWatts is the donkey. Nov. 14, 1230 a. mCoop! Aw Coop! Coop's head appears at the second story window, What the h do you want, Zaci Please let me in, Coop. Blame Tippett for this. Nov, 17This afternoon while I was strolling through Mechanical Hall a great noise like the trampling of feet suddenly burst forth from the drawing room. Investigation proved that Huston had Timbie in a corner and the noise was not the trampling of feet, but sounds cansed by Timbie's ehattering teoth, Nov. 19It has been alleged that a eertain preacher has heen found loafing around Fader's bakery. We sineerely hope that this will not happen again. Dee. 6Room 2Tippett aceidentally ran into Timbie's books and broke his Tipp's' vellow glasses, Eoom T one hour later Timbie apologized. Dec. 10We had oysters today for dinner. Silver ate 36 by aetual count. Dee. 13Tiff must have started oneialf hour earlier to bid his wife goodl- bye this morning, He arrived in class on time. Dee. 16 Deac' and Loomis desert the gang and work Timbie's test. Dee. 20MeNeal started to work his nnknowns, We went home for Christ- mas. Jan. 6-Veale's bed found with a hole burned through it. Jeil renewed his visits to Chapel street, Jan, B8ilver had some ketchup with beans on it today. 236 Jan. 10MeDaniel received another letter from Philadelphia. Postage six eents. Jan. 12Jefl attended Chapelstreet. Jan. 15S8ilver found waiting at diningroom door one hour too soon. His appetite is improving. Jan 17Grubb and Loomis overslept as usual. 'Doe Harter reminded them that caleulus happened at 8.50, Jan, 21wWe were entertained at luncheon in Dover. Inecidentally Gov- ernor Miller was inaugurated. Jan. 22Tipp woke up in Robby 8 test; he was still turkey-trotting. Jan, 23 Jeff absent from classes. Veale says he is still at Chapel. Jan, 24Jeff returns to take mid-years.

' Feb. 21The Suffragette Pilgrimage hit Newark. Jolls, Sawdon, Con- nellee and Tippett were captivated. Suffragist Houchin, of course, escorted them. Now all together boys, 1, 2, 3, Rah! Rah! Rah!

Everyone in aur class, every lad, every lass, Has been duly considered ; we hope it will pass, But if in your wisdom some rhymes on you pall, Skip over those lines; just omit them, that's all. We'll start in with Aurand, who, when at his best, Continually uses the old H 8. But none of us knows how often he groans Over Tiff's half-a-hundred delicions nnknowns, Even Robhy has heard of his great unknown stont. And, therefore, in Building Construetion, a flunk. We now come to Beacom, this light-headed younth, Our class's detective and all-around slenth ; His cheeks are all sunken ; he's grown very thin; He studies so hard we're afraid he's all in, ' Off and on in his hist'ry, so says Dr. Vaughn, He's preparved to recite, but it's more off than on. Here's Clinton H. Brown, whom we often eall Deae, His head about reaches up into the peal; He's a great English star, But he ventured too far When he started in muxing with Doe's Leyden jar. Here's Middletown Clonnellee, often called Feet, Who onee in a while gets plenty to eat, Let him eat if he must But we hope he won't bust, For his latest on spirit' is really a thruost. Just look at Bobh?' Cranston with eritieal care For Bob surely has rich and lovely black hair; 230 To Marshallton village he goes every night, Then drives over home hy the shining moonlight. But, says Robert, T often, when sweet thoughts are ha'ntin, Just turn right about and drive over to Stanton. ' Oh, just look who's here; it's Archibald Dean, And no enter fellow has ever been seen, When he's not on the job at the door selling tickets, He's eramming his head full of Plane Analyties. Doe Watson remarks that our Arch is a boob, Because he can't handle a plain suction tube, Here's Frankie H. Dean, who, unlike his brother, Is keeping his knowledge well under cover. He has a strange fashionindeed it's a hobby, Of constantly working for our old friend Robby, At the fine art of fussing he's surely a killer; Rarely sending his flowers flour to a mill, but a Miller. Take a look at Wade Ellis, a hard grinding stude, Who when first a Freshman was Delaware's dude. His venerable age and tall black derby hat, Make a bald spot on top where his hair shonld be at. In the Chemieal Lab. he's a terrible messer, Whieh gave him the title of Wade, the Professor. Here comes Norman Groves at the head of the line; His music's eompelling the rest to keep time. Though not an athlete nor a player at all, He's frequently seen by the side of a Ball. Furthermore, thongh 'tis said that onr Norman don't euss, He ean rip off a beant about Short's calenlus. A sensible man is Charles Edmund Grubh, But when with a girl he looks like a eub; And oft in the summer this sensible dreamer Cavorts 'round the town in a big Stanley Steamer. He is our Class Pres. and a popular man, So we'll stick to Charles E. to the very last stand. Flease glanee over here at old Carl Webster Hearne, His hair's bright red bt we guess it won't burn; And in view of the fact that his eyes are true blue, 240 . l I 'UHHlu'fleilllll' ----- -- n H T Ui f Jr i X g o mrmHNIHIIHII Vg e ' 'le'Nl MIN!'L l' WE'UWHIM L l' . iy i HWnum'wnulHHHW.NIHAdl f I1h 'M' J JhLl' rrm;;'lflm fl !M .II -I.Iillll ,J'ff, 'illr,ll:l:.F I-I:i,-;i' lljl.ll:li:lul II'I II ':;l 'wwuumnw'wmh , 'MW TR ,. -;:'fia-.JLJFMTHHLITM l ! n M M .u w l nl WH M T ey, l THE BIG FOUR He's Gimpty the Second all through and all through. And when Carlo dies, so the fellows all say, He'll journey to heaven but he'll come back some day. Here's Elmer Hoch of baseball fame, Who one time met a mountain dame; 0Of course he correspondence carried, Until he learned that she was married. Poor Hockey'' grieved almost to death But says that he'll take what was left. Hey, Huston, come stand here in line, Jim's never known to be on time ; He surely thinks that he's some sport On Sunday night in old Newport. He never was an early riser; Tis rumored, too, that he's a miser, We've with us now a man named Jefl, M. A. C. is the place he left. With the girls he makes an awful hit, But he can't evade Syph's English Lit. Jeff is the craziest gink' we've met, And now is Veale's beloved pet. Here's W. E. Lind; he's awful tight, And look! he's sure an awful sight; Though Linny's' there with the funny stuff He can't impress his friend MaeDuff. With Shorty he's figured out stresses and strains, But is taking a re-exam for his pains. Here's Emery Loomis with beantiful hair; Great buckets of slop but that guy ean swear. He surely writes that girl 'some letter, And says, by heck, he's going to get er. Now Emery is not prone to brag, But he says he knows all the Elee. and Mag, J. Warren MeCafferty, the sport of the eollege, Of new English fashions has plenteous knowledge ; He's traveled far and he's traveled wide, But that Irish face he has vet to hide, 242 L Seorve ATHEH GREJ':'J Ard o1 6 THE RS DOC Femmamm 3 TILL WENDERIN G TGS s CLExT gmum FAC PR L TR ERRL FEENERD 0L Mo vt i T o SLL BE ST, - CHIITI NG BGE FrevERes Comnv- TR SuTr oS e NMJ-HJW:Ft-r- AR, JA T E Dy gy WEGUrrOSE HE s LT IT S 0N THE woOg FEOR TN E dkrwfb'dai' ?:f i P H lr 'r 1 1 L rj'h:, Mmrnl mtwf :J-nI.l..

Paul Dongherty is this Irishman's name, Who not until recently won much fame; Al the Prom. decorating he astonished us all Asx an able assistant to Wally ' MeCall, Though not very old he's conceived the desire To help Whily' tire that Harrisburg flier, We must speak of MeDaniel, but 'tis a pity, For he's a sport from Atlantie City; Though fun at him the boys all poke, He never sees the point of the joke.

OO N L On a cold December night two young men sat hy the red hot stove in the eorner grocery at Elkton. One was a big heavy chap whose voice was like the sound of thunder. The other was a little, short, stout fellow, who chewed tobaceo ineessantly. The latter seratehed his head with a toothpick, waddled over and spat some Newsboy in the fire. He eame back and hopped upon a sugar barrel. For some time neither spoke. Then suddenly the short fellow turned and said : 1 say, Tobe, if the station were stolen and detectives were few, would the rail- road track? ' Tobe leisurely fastened his tin ear in place and then replied: Yes, if Perry- ville make a Port Deposit with a Havre-de-Grace in the New-ark which is due to sail from its New-port on the Lum-brook in Harmony.

HAZO 3AS PRODUCERS AND ENGINES E aeh department of The Old Institu- tion ' has its own power plant for the generation of light and power in its va- rious subjects. Power for the generation of light in the subjects of Deseriptive Ge- ometry, Mechanical Drawing, and Kine- matics is developed by a GAS engine, which should be of paramount interest to all engineers be- eause of the novel prineiple of its con- struction and be- canse of its peculiar action under differ- ent loads. The gen- eral working of this GAS engine may be seen in the diagrammatie sketeh sub- mitted below, 83 Bubfoundation, FF Foundation piers. A Meehanieal mixing chamber for the generation of gas from solid and lguid fuels, C Air compressor, P Pump. B Carburetor. D Open flame ignition maintained by spirits of aleohol and essenee of rye, malt, ete. E Exhanst port, also intake port, M Automatie muffler for premature explosions of nnburnt gases, H Indicator rig. Tests were made under no load, 1-100 load, and one-quarter load. Under no load it was found that the engine ran smoothly and quietly and that the thermal efficiency was up to normal for GAS engines of its kind, 257 Under one-quarter load, however, the engine stalled and had to be baeked up, barred over dead ecenter, and started over again, LF one-half load were suddenly thrown on, the engine would stop dead short. It must then be cooled and completely overhauled, which takes from one to four days. Students experimenting with this GAS engine have found that the engine will carry as high as three-gighths load if helped over dead centers. This is ae- complished by the students taking turns and foreing it over dead centers by means of erow bars and sledge hammers. This procedure, however, is dangerous, as well as arduous, for the engine is liable to back fire, thus generating great heat and burning the students, Students Jeff, Veale and Huston have been barnd in this manner. The engine works at its best under 1-100 load. The exhaust explosions are sharp and have a high piteh, but are intermingled with small premature ex- plosions of unburnt gases which explosions retard the speed. The moving parts of this machine, however, are without definite motion ; thus the power ultimately developed is variable and of small amount, The inefficiency of this GAS8 engine is attributed to lost motion of the moving parts, premature explosions of unburnt gases, and poor workmanship in the in- stallation. The light generated, therefore, is of small amount and of poor quality.

Now he didn't know what to do With this talisman of blue, And he acted like a little beaten pup; But he put it out of sight, And I've seen on a summer night That he wears it now to keep his shirt sleeve up. 25 n.

In order to appreciate fully the extravagance of this elaborate and spacious laboratory one must spend an afternoon, or a part of one, depending upon the visitor's vitality or his ability to hold his breath for at least five-minute intervals, in this underground, subterranean cell and see the students' extreme efforts of grit and persistency put forth to pass the chemieal eourse. After you eross the threshold, which is an antiquated door that always difl stick and above which many of us have imagined we saw: All hope abandon, ye who enter here, yon dexterously prevent yourself from falling, and upon investigation observe that the matehed boards in the inlaid floor oeeasionally vary in height from three to five inches, After this the guide, whose name is Virgil, points out and eomments upon the points of interest. The walls are beautifully decorated with a very effective color scheme of 262 I 0 EM whitewash, the same kind that little George'' uses around back of Mechanieal Hall, and due to the humidity, not dampness, of the place, these walls have taken on sky blue pink eolor which highly resembles skim milk. No one knows just what eolor to call it ; but it looks very much as though a fire in the room had been extingnished by the efforts of a ehemieal engine. Of eourse an abundance of room is provided for everyone so that he may work with the least possible hindrance. - It is the writer's opinion that at least fifty try to erowd in here on Monday afterncons, leaving about thirteen and a guarter inches per man imagine yourself in a quick lunch restaurant in a large city at noon, Saturday. The heavy plate glass windows are two in number and are of colonial design, with none of the squares hroken ont, Even if the sashes have a loose fit of half an ineh on all gides, this is all the better for the ventilation. One fact of worthy note is that the two windows admit a great quantity of light. After the class has heen operating for about an hour, with the smoke so thick that it has turned from gaseons to a solid form, you ean nearly recognize who is just across from you, Then some one thoughtfully turns on a light; no, no, fair reader, not a cluster, but a light, This brilliant object lights up with a pressure of 76 volts, just enough to make it red hot. Oh, yes, we are still in the city limits of Newarlk, One thing that the Chem. Lah.' honestly is noted for, is the magnificent view eommanded from either, or both, of the same two windows, One cannot help but feel inspired when, on a clear day, he beholds the broad sweeping expanse of country extending almost twenty feet to another wall four stories high dirveetly opposite, This masterpiece of Nature's handiwork is composed of thirty-seven blades of grass and sixty-four square yards of mud. To our left can be eounted no less than thirteen ash barrels and seven glop cans, The deer and wild elk have been driven away from this rare conntry by a few hungry mongrel dogs, who make frequent visits to the garbage pails, About this time some one aceidentally leaves the H'S turned on and the hood door open, with the result that the first breeze sweeps down the ventilator and fills the room with an odor strong enongh to asphyxiate an extraordinary pole eat. 1 NOW, LET'S BEE-E 263 Under these ideal conditions it is all the more commendable for students to do the work, and probably in later vears when some one has made his pile, he will give a correct imitation of Mr. Carnegie and the college will have a new Chem.

WALLY'S RIDE For days all the Juniors had stopped dissipating And worked in the Gym. for the Prom. decorating, Of course, as you know, the scheme was entirely Conceived and worked out by our untiring Wally; He had drawn up a plan which with colors aglow Was passed round the class all its merits to show. With the aid of Doec. Darty and one or two more, Our Wally toiled often till two, three, or four; But what of the work and the trimmings, a mountain SHE was to be there, yes, the little Miss Br. n. The week of the Prom. came, not too scon for Wally, Though twas enly half done and he'd not asked his dolly, Oh, there's time enough yet, as our brave hero said, But I'll stop work tonight and go see her instead. At eight o'clock sharp his ear stopped at her home; And left at 8.30 with Wally, alone; Yes, Grubby had done it. He'd gotten there first. How his fingers did itch! How his vengeance did thirst! But next day to Charles E. with his feelings still stirred He mumbled some words about wise early birds. Did Wally surrender? Not Wally: not he. Just invited them both, his pleased rival and SHE Ta ride down in his Velie. A terrible risk For that Velie can hit up a clip rather brisk. On the trip coming down and not far from the start They hit the rear end of an innocent cart; The driver, a negro, went out on his head, We're not able here to record what he zaid; But Wallace, choice phrases continued bestowing, Such as, Why in the de'il don't you look where you're poing? A voice at his shoulder, a tone of dismay. Pray, Wallace, what was it that I heard you say? 268 He opened the throttle and cut out both wide; They all say that that was a te . t ! rrible ride. 1- That evening of torture and great overloads Iz mixed in his dreams with those wild country roads.
