He grad- uated from the Illinois State Normal University in 1865. He then became Superintend- ent of the Urbana Schools, which position he held for three years. In 1870 he was appointed Professor of Botany and Horticulture, his present position. In 1878 he was made Botanist of the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History. In 1882 he was appointed Vice-President of the University; was Acting Regent of the University from 1889 to 1S94; served as Horticulturist and Botanist of the Agricultural Experiment Sta- tion since 1888. Professor Burrill early adopted his chief specialties, Cryptogamic Botany and the Parasitic Diseases of Plants He was the first among American investigators to give special attention to the latter subject. His writings have mostly been confined to reports upon his investigations. Probably his pamphlets upon Bacteria (1882), and that upon the Parasitic Fungi of Illinois (1885 to 1SS7), have attracted the most attention. Jfacult IRatban Clifford IRicfcer, B. S., flD. Hrcb. Professor of Architecture, and Dean of the College of Engineering, was born in Acton, York County, Maine, in 1843. He entered the University of Illinois in 1870, pur- suing an architectural course as far as practicable at that time, making up the defi- ciencies by studies in Civil Engineering. During his last two terms as student he was placed in temporary charge of the Architectural Department. Immediately after graduation in 1873 he left for Europe, spending a semester in study at the Raw Akademie in Berlin. While in the old country he visited the Vienna Exposition, Dresden, Paris, London, and numerous other cities, studying the historical buildings. He returned in [873 to take the position of Instructor in Architecture. In 1S76 he was made Professor of Architecture, and in 1878 he was appointed Dean of the College of Engineering, which position he has admirably filled. Taking charge of the Archi- tectural Department in its infancy, he has seen it grow to be one of the best, not only in the University but in the United States. He has written works on Trussed Roofs, History of Architecture, Architectural Drawing; also a translation, from the French, of Planat ' s Heating and Ventilation, and a translation, from the German, of Redtenbacher ' s Architektonik. jfacults Stephen Hlfreo Forbes, pb ID.

He obtained his early education in the country schools and at Beloit Academy; enlisted as private at seventeen, receiving a captaincy at twenty. Read medicine and attended lectures at Rush Medical College in 1867. Taught himself botany while teaching in the public schools, and was appointed Curator of the Museum of the Illinois State Natural History Society at Normal in 1872. Became Professor of Zoology in the Illinois State Normal University in 1874. Founded the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History in 1878, and was made its director, which position he still holds. He has been State Entomologist of Illinois since 1882, Professor of Zoology at the University of Illinois since 1884 and Dean of the College of Science since 1888. He is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, charter member of the Society for the Promotion of Agricultural Science, active member of the American Ornithological Union, of the Washington Entomological Society, of the St. L,ouis Academy of Sciences, and several other societies. Was Director of the Aquarium of the United States Fish Commission at the Columbian Exposition. He has conducted a Natural History survey of Illinois since 1878, and numerous Zoolog- ical expeditions. He has published seven reports as State Entomologist of Illinois and about two hundred other contributions to zoological science. Jfacult 2). 1kinlev pb. ©. I ' A Dean of the College of Literature and Arts, Professor of Political Economy and Social Science, Secretary of the Board of Administration, was born in Dundee, Scotland, in 1861, and came to this country in 1873. He prepared for college at Phillips Academy. Anrlover, Mass., and graduated from Yale in 1884, receiving the degree of A. B. and Ph.D., 1893, from the University of Wisconsin. He was Principal of the North Andover High School for six years. After a year ' s work at Johns Hopkins he was elected In- structor in History and Political Economy in that institution and Instructor in Political Economy and Logic in the Woman ' s College at Baltimore. In 1892 he went to the University of Wisconsin as I- ' ellow and Instructor in the School of Economics.

He is a member of the American Economic Association, American Statistical Association, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and several others. jfacult lEuocne Davenport, fID. Hgr. ATA Dean of the College of Agriculture and Professor of Animal Husbandry, was born on a farm in Woodland County, Michigan, in 1856. He taught school before entering Michigan Agricultural College, from which he graduated in 1878, taking the degree of B. S. He received from this same college, in 1881, the degree of M. S., and in 1896 M. Agr. He resided on a farm from 1878 to 1888, then returned for graduate work and was elected Professor of Agriculture in 1889, which position he held for two years. He resigned this position in order to attempt the establishing of a School of Agriculture in Brazil, South America. After one year abroad he returned to his farm in Michigan, which he still owns and operates. He was elected Dean of the College of Agriculture and Professor of Animal Husbandry of the University of Illinois on January 1, 1895. He was also elected Director of the Experiment Station in 1896. Professor Davenport is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Michi- gan Academy of Science. ffacult Iprofessor Ikatberine fIDerrill The knowledge that Professor Katherine Merrill has decided to sever her connection with the University is received with great regret by students and instructors. Miss Merrill has held the position of Assistant Professor of Eng- lish for four years, and in that time she has won the respect and admiration of all the students who have come under her tutelage, as well as the friendship of her fellow teachers. Although Miss Merrill does not belong to Kansas by birth, she spent her childhood there and received her early education in the public schools of that State. After a year in the State University, she spent two years in the study of music in New York City. A serious throat trouble compelled her to give up this work and she returned to Kansas and completed her un- dergraduate course in the University in 1889. The two years following were spent in Bryn Mawr, where she held the fellowship in English in the college year of 1S90 and 1891. During the college year, 1891 and 1892, her work in English and comparative literature was continued at Radcliffe College, Cambridge, and in the fall of 1892 she began her duties in the University of Illinois. After Miss Merrill ' s arrival many changes were made at her suggestion for the increase of conveniences for the women of the University. It was through her efforts that the ladies ' parlor was furnished as a rest room for women students. It was also at her request that the gymnasium was opeued for the young women. With these sugges- tions, which were carried into effect, Miss Merrill embodied in a report to the Board of Trustees a plan for the opening of a department of sanitary science, in which she included courses of special interest to women. Miss Merrill ' s instruction in the University has covered a variety of courses in Eng- lish literature. The work in nineteenth century authors covers, in the main, writers of poetry and prose of this century. Her aim is to make both a historical and a philosoph- ical study of the men and their works. These courses are regarded as introductory to a more detailed and comprehensive study of the content of nineteenth century literature. The nineteenth century work is mentioned specifically because Miss Merrill has made this period the subject of special study, and in this line her strongest and most inspiring work has been done. In the class room Miss Merrill has won a well recognized popularity, both by her strong personality and by her high scholarship, which has had a distinctly elevating influence upon her students. Her work has always been full of inspiration for her classes. The warmth of her enthusiasm for literary art has kindled in young men and young women the desire for higher thinking and the breadth of her interpretations has stirred them to deeper thoughtfulness. ffacults flDies Butterfielfc ' s Departure Although it has been known for some months that Miss Helen Butterfield would not continue teaching in the University after this year, the official announcement of her resignation did not occur till a short time ago. Miss Butterfield is an alumnus of this University, having belonged in her college days to a group of girls noted for being at once gay social leaders and excellent students. After graduating in 1891, she taught English in the Mattoon High School for two years, and then spent a year in advanced study of English at Radcliffe College. She found the influences and opportunities of Harvard and Boston as beneficial and enjoy- able as they must ever be to young, enthu- siastic seekers after knowledge. The next year she returned to the Uni- versity of Illinois as Assistant in Rhetoric. Shortly afterward a Department of Rhet- oric was created, with Professor T. A. Clark as head It was thus made possible to give much more time and attention to this most important subject. New and effective methods of teaching were introduced, and the old-fashioned grind of composition writ- ing was turned into a pleasing and useful though none the less difficult task. In this labor ot reform Miss Butterfield proved a most stimulating coadjutor; and at the same time her suggestions for the increase of gen- eral literary culture have been good and fruitful. l r or several years she has been a faithful member of the committee on students ' welfare, and has always eagerly helped any project to further the social or private well- being of students. Her genial personality and winning manner have brought her many friends, and her cheery greeting and ready good humor will long be missed in the social gatherings of University people. In the new relations and duties upon wbich she will enter by her marriage, she is followed by the siucerest desires of all that know her for happiness and prosperity, and The Iu.io takes this opportunity to offer congratulations and good wishes.

He is a direct descendant of Thomas Matthews, a colonial governor of the old Dominion. He was the first student to sign the matriculation papers of our University and the first to graduate, which he did at the age of twenty in 1872. After his graduation he engaged in newspaper work until 1875, when he entered the Missouri Medical College at St. Louis, from which institution he graduated with the highest honors of his class in 1878. He has always written poetry and has been a contributor to many of the leading magazines and newspapers, among which are the Ladies ' Home Journal, Youth ' s Com- panion, Harper ' ' sand others of equal prominence. His verse is delicate and finished, his genius wholesome and inspiring, his sentiments lofty and genuine. The famous humorist, Bill Nye, pays the following tribute to our noted alumnus : The more highly his friends esteem him. the more they honor themselves and show their good taste. The more friends he has in his State, the more 1 shall respect that State. 24 flD? ScbooWflDate, little Sogoles CALLED her Little Goggles in those academic days That glimmer in mv fancy as my recollection strays To the happy-hearted winters of the time so long ago, $ When we wrote our Latin lessons with a cutter in the snow; When the problems of geometry were demonstrated in The pretty curves and angles of her dainty mouth and chin; O the slender little beauty! I can feel her tender hand Reaching out across the darkness to the lone years where I stand. Little Goggles was the text book that I studied all the while, Her laughter was my logic, and my rhetoric her smile; And all that my astronomy could teach about the skies Was far more plainly written in the planets of her eyes; — We crossed the yellow Tiber every evening into Rome On a bridge of cushioned rockers, in her cozy little home; And the old romantic story of the Serpent of the Nile, My fancy comprehended in the fervor of her smile. Little Goggles! Little Goggles! do you ever think of me. When the wind is in the maple, and the winters o ' er the lea? Little Goggles — Little Goggles — in the midnight of the years, I can see your blue eves dancing through the dripping of my tears: And often in mv solitude, I wonder where you are, And marvel are you happy, as I fondle my guitar, And sink into the rocker of my desolated home, And cross again the Tiber of old memories to Rome. — Janes Newton Matthews. 25 Class ©roani3atton Chicago Colleae of Ipbarmacp ifacultE Frederick Marion Goodman, Ph.

Our first class meetings were conducted in a manner that would have made Roberts himself turn green with envy. Many of the new arrivals were filled with wonder and admiration at the ease and fluency with which some members of the class spoke in University dialect, and at their very apparent knowledge of the first names of certain dignified Profs. But when we learned that they were ex-preps we accepted this as a possible explanation and were accordingly filled with a deep respect for that underground department. Our genius first began to assert itself when our Freshman social was decided upon. Under the efficient management of President Barr the affair was planned, and its execu- tion was certainly worthy a Napoleon. The midnight meetings, secret expeditions, and prompt execution of spies, would have done credit to the Russian police. The celebration took place at Bloomington, and of all Freshmen socials none ever excelled this one in costliness and splendor. It did not matter that the members of the class had been conveyed to the Big Four depot in dray wagons, carefully protected from the gaze of curious Sophomores by barrels, goods boxes, or musty hay. Their costumes were mostly quite picturesque, as they had been specially designed to withstand all chemicals, or combinations of chemicals, known to the most experienced Soph. A scout- ing party of the latter had, however, gotten wind of the matter and managed to board the train. They were well received in Bloomington and were entertained at the expense of the city dur- ing the progress of the festivities. 3 ' Class Ibistor The color rush was one never to be forgotten. The appearance of Ninety-seven after the struggle gave evidence of the heroism displayed in defending the blue and rose. Shortly after the return from Bloomington resolutions were formed in which the class pledged themselves to treat the incoming Freshman class as though they were real people, to not only allow them to hold their social in peace, but to give them a grand reception and treat them as our equals. A very spirited class meeting was held when these reso- lutions were adopted. Many eloquent speeches were made both pro and con. Hamilton and Rarr on one side; Pepper, King and Smith on the other. So worthy, indeed, were these efforts that the Illini published them in full the next week. By and by our Sophomore year arrived, bringing with it but little opportunity to illuminate the world with our abundant genius, except in the class room, where we often helped our professors over difficult points. At last the long looked for Sophomore-Freshman social took place, and its phenomenal success is spoken of to this day. The members of the class were alwa3 ' s willing to share each other ' s misfortunes, so when fate I Dr. Shea) decreed that some flunks must be made in physics, sixty-seven of the class kept each other company through the trying ordeal. From this period for a few months there are some missing pages in the chronicles of Ninety-seven. But there is a sort of traditional story concerning the events of that time which seems to be partly true. It runs thus: About the middle of the winter term the Freshmen gave a social at University Hall. .Something detained their president and, of course, the Sophomores were blamed for it. So some of our mightiest men were forth- with hurried before the council of administration, and nine of them were banished. By the prompt action of the remaining members of the class and the intervention of power- ful friends they were pardoned and returned amid great rejoicing. When our Junior year arrived we began to realize our dignity and importance, and the Junior hop was perhaps the most formal and stately affair that had yet graced our social life. Fora yearauthors, artistsand statisticians of great repute among us had been busy preparing a work called The Illio of ' 97. A volume containing as it does the best work of these giant minds could be little less than a revelation. At last we became Seniors, and the full weight of our responsibility gradually dawned upon us. Now our stately bearing and solemn mien gives evidence of the dig- nity to which we have attained. With the addition of mortarboards, gowns (and Marsh ' s whiskers) our importance is certainly apparent to all. While we realize our exalted position we still feel a kindly interest in members of all university classes and will ever be willing to give them our opinions upon all subjects they find too deep for their professors, but our best advice is: Study well our history and endeavor to follow in the footsteps of Ninety-seven.

When all was quiet he said: If there is no objection, all business will be dispensed with this even- ing and we will listen to an account of a great discovery that has been made within the last few days. Since I hear no dissent, the Honorable Mr. Zelles- ter has the floor. Mr. Zellester arose and stepped to the platform with a huge package in one hand and a roll of manuscript in the other. Without more ado he bowed and began: Gentlemen of the Archaeological Club of the University of Illinois — Last week when the workmen were digging the foundations for the massive Electrical Museum, which will stand on the site of the old Mount Hope Cemetery, they came across an ancient metallic casket such as was used in the very early times to hold the body of a person when it was buried. As I was chairman of the executive commit- tee of the club, they immediately informed me of the find and I had the casket carefully exhumed and conveyed to the club ' s museum. After trying in vain to decipher the hieroglyphics on the lid, I opened the burial box and found a large skeleton in good preservation. The noticeable thing about this skeleton was the size and shape of its skull, which denoted abnormal intelligence for a person living in such an ancient period of our history; for I have, after much study, concluded that the remains were those of a person living in the early part of the twentieth century. One hand of the skeleton clutched a parchment roll, which the professor of Ancient Rnglish has translated for me, and I will now read the translation. It runs thus: ' I am the last of the members of that great and illustrious body, the Class of ' 98 of the University of Illinois. During the past ten years of my life I have compiled the his- tories and great deeds of the members of that glorious class and have had them printed. By my order the volumes are to be placed in the bottom of my casket when I die, and if the person who reads this will lift up my bones and push back the false bottom of the coffin he will there find ten books which contain the most important things done by us. ' I did as the paper said, and after lifting up the remains I discovered the ten volumes, one of which I have brought with me this afternoon. Here the speaker opened the package that he had brought with him and showed a 42 Class Ibzstov? book bound in the binding of a thousand years ago. After showing the book the speaker picked up his roll of manuscript and began again to speak: After finding the books, I took them to the Dean of the College of Ancient English and he with the other members of that college faculty has been working on the transla- tion day and night for the past week. The work proceeds very slowly, but they have succeeded in reading that part of the history which deals with the deeds of the class while in college. I will now read their interpretation: ' In the fall of the year 1894, the class of ' 98 gathered together for the first time. The members came from all parts of the world and the class was made up of all sorts of people. ' During our first term the Sophomore class, awed by our appearance, instead of trying to harm us, gave us the first Sophomore-Freshman reception, and this was the beginning of a custom which still exists. ' In the second term we decided to have a family party of our own. The Sopho- mores, who thought they were being slighted by not being invited, stole the president of the class early one morning and carried him to the country, where they kept him until the next day, so that he could not attend an otherwise successful social . Therefrom sprang the tale of the nine naughty Sophomores who were sent home for kidnaping a Freshman. ' In the spring we played base ball and played it well, and we were only defeated once in a great game, as will be seen by the score, which was 44-43. ' It would take too long to mention each triumph of the succeeding three years, and, as these achievements are almost totally eclipsed by the individual deeds of the members of the class in the years after graduation, I will make a general resume : ' For three years they held the championship in foot ball and base ball. The class had more members on the Varsity foot ball, base ball and track teams than any two of the other classes. Nearly every prize in oratory or anything else was captured by a ' 98, and it became a general custom for members of other classes to drop out of any contest when any member of that body was entered. As enterprising as the class of ' 98 became a proverb. ' When they graduated the world was searched for a man to deliver the commencement address to them, and Mr. Will- iam E. Gladstone was the one picked upon. It is said that he was so struck by the intelligent look of the class that he ex- tended his visit and studied the methods of the University. The beginning of the improvement in Cambridge and xford is dated on his return to England. ' — That is as far as they have transited, but one of the professors told me that in taking a hasty glance through the books he found thickly sprinkled there the names of the men who were really the great men of the twentieth century. At our next meeting I hope to have a much longer translation to read. 43 Class ©roantsation flDembcrs of tbe Glass of ' 98 Philip Judy Aaron . Clark Godfrey Anderson . Jay Jennings Arnold . D.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.— There was a complete reversal of tape in the day ' s stock market from that of yesterday. The yellow fever scare dis- appeared altogether, in spite of the further spread of the disease, and yesterday s extravagant no- tions in regard to the imminence of an outbreak of hostilities with Spain were likewise dissipated. A much more serious and not unrelated matter was quite overlooked also, namely, the advance In Paris exchange at Madrid to the highest figures on record, owing to the apprehensions in regard to the position of the Hank of Spain. London houses to-day had fairly large on both sides of the account, and on balances sold a small amount of stocks. Inning the- first hour yesterday ' s reactionary tone was again evident, and th- market was quite unsatisfactory, but after the tendency toward recovery was fairly constant throughout the day The granger shares were again the active features ol the market, and in that group noteworthj advances were Bcored In and Northwestern, but other Btocki en re conspicuous movemi nts, kmong them W ere Consolidated Ga .

President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Historian Historian Sergeant-at-Arms Ibistorp of tbe IKUnetecntb Centura Class O write a history of the class of 1900 would require volumes. Our achievements in the past, our hopes and ambitions for the future, our capabilities and our possibilities are all alike unlim- ited. Then, too, our characteristic modesty has hitherto pre- vented us from making known the deeds and circumstances which have contributed to our fame. Nevertheless, now, in re- sponse to the clamorous demands of the public we have consented to give this brief account of our career since our advent into the University. On September 7 last an unusual stir and commotion about University halls marked the arrival of large numbers of young men and women, each presenting credentials for admission into the ranks of the already renowned Century Class. Members of this body could readily be distinguished among the crowds of students; but this was due, no doubt, to the impression which they invariably conveyed of lacking the verdant qualities usually ascribed to Freshmen. A short time was spent in becoming acquainted with the topography of the campus and surrounding portions of the city, and in locating the mile posts and tavern signs. This was extremely necessary in order that we might enter intelligently upon our first year ' s campaign in the interests of scholarship, social advancement and athletic reform. Success has marked our career from the first, and circumstances have conspired to give us a wide renown even without our asking it. This has been largely due to the the novelty of some of the episodes in the history of the class. Indeed, everyone con- cedes that the present Freshman class is a class of distinguished peculiarities But whatever other honors we may have to boast of, we cannot pass over the part of our co-eds in the recent introduction of basket ball into University athletics, the reputation of having the best dancers in the battalion, and the distinction of having the largest number of flunks in College Algebra and Cs in Chemistry ever made in the history of the institution. 50 r -NO mmn Class Ibtstor In social affairs, as in all other fields of college life and activity, the members of the class of 1900 have shone with a silent but radiant splendor. It was a direct consequence of our inborn unobtrusiveness, already spoken of, which led us to seek some quiet and secluded retreat in which to hold our so- ciable, where we might indulge our Terp- sichorean proclivities, and where, also, gathered in social fellowship, we could discuss plans whereby we would be en- abled to help the members of the other classes along life ' s tempestuous way. In order that we might show proper respect to the upper classmen and to our other friends, we invited a select few of the Sophomores, members of the Faculty and Urbana police force. The ardor of the event was dampened somewhat, it is true, by attendant circumstances. The peaceful calm, and about six dollars worth of window glass was suddenly broken by a rude and boisterous mob, who began Throwing odors, flavored not With roses, or forget-me-not. A person of delicate organization and fine sensibilities could scarcely help being impressed by these strong arguments in favor of immediate adjournment. But at the ringing command of one of our heroes, On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined! the festivities continued. And what a beauteous scene was there presented! Happy youths, with beam- ing countenances and triumphant demeanor, clad in becoming sweaters and Prep trousers, flitting hither and thither, bringing ices to fair co-eds, and picking with easy nonchalance the pieces of broken glass from the ice-cream! The festivities lasted until a late hour, but as the Sophomores had neglected to order carriages they were compelled, by the inclemency of the weather, to take their departure between showers somewhat early in the evening, much to the regret of their entertainers. So much for our social triumphs. It is impossible to speak half the truth regarding our other successes. But while we realize that we do ourselves injustice in failing to make mention, scanty though it might be, of our immeasurable prowess in everything we ever undertook, our modesty restrains us from doing so at any length. In athletic achievements our ability shines forth with all the splendor of an oriental sunrise. But lest we should provoke jealousy on the part of those whose banners we have trailed in the dust, we will mention it no more. The laurel-crowned victor at Olympia, the old Knight of the Round Table, the greatest hero of all chivalry, each fades into insignificance beside our heroes. In our number may be found those whose blossoming genius portends a Homer or a Shake- speare, an Aristotle or a Bacon, a Demosthenes or a Webster, a Leonidas or a Washing- ton — but we refrain! Let it suffice barely to hint at the glories of our future, and let the Fates work out silently our destined metamorphosis, which it were sacrilege yet to mention except to the gods! 5i Class HMstor prep Class Officers W. M. Blank J. E. Weldon . Miss Winifred Forbes H. W. Baker President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer fe . Ibiston? of tbe Class of 1901 Br (SaoSVER in the Uni grounds, w Beneath its many mingled sounds, | Within its red and gloomy walls, The muse of Learning gently calls. She calls and whispers everywhere, O er all the dear old State so fair, With beck ' ning finger calls us there, From sister States, from street and square, Down to Pa Howe ' s preparing shop To work and rise up to the top, Or, mixing in some chemic slop, Be wiped out by stern mandates mop. Year by year the Preps grow bold, ll And join the ranks of the Freshman fold; And then to them is knowledge told 11 Until it seems all they can hold. ' The faculty that ' s down in Prep Is good and kind at every step. But we could roast them hard and long, And make it not one whit too strong. Those names we do not roast in here We treat them so in our great fear, That grades for us would not appear, And we ' d be Preps another year. Hubbard, Douglas, Howe and Cole, Five times daily call the roll; And if one poor, lone Prep is late, Sad and sorry is his fate. 52 Class IFMstor All around the rough old world We find the crops of knowledge curled. Our Papa in the sea has fished, Knows all that ever did exist. Of earthworms first, then mammoth whales He sits by the hour and tells us tales. And in the sixth hour physics class, You ' ll find naught there but wind and gas. That kind, good man is growing old, But in his heart he ' s good as gold. That great big man with pleasant smile Does make remarks much like a file; He roasts us oft, he roasts us hard, He always has our best regard. Carolus Colus, our Latin man, Keeps golden silence when he can; He never liked McKinley rallies, Nor was he one of Tanner ' s allies. Oft our grades depend, we find, ; On seeking them in Douglas ' mind; t- He will turn to smoke some day, And with his surds he ' ll fly away. Of Lit. instructor, too, we speak; With her go quizes on the sneak; In English she ' s our only priest; Mentioned last, she is not least. We have within our basement walls A class to shine in Learning ' s halls. Among the members you may find Many a strong and noble mind. There ' s President Blank — most empty name His mind and it are not the same. Perrigo, the sleepy man, Flunk him! why, you never can! And Harris, too, his teachers ' joy, He is a quiet, model boy. Webber and Walker, the Siamese twins, 54 Class Ibistor? Are noted as pedestrians. Frank and Chet, with a small beer skate, Stay out till ten and think it ' s late; To tell what fools they were one night Would be a wicked vent of spite. Eddie Draper, our little one, In trousers short has life begun. 1 The way he learned to say Papa, ' Made every one of us ha ha! We wish him well and hope that soon He ' ll wear a lengthened pantaloon. From time to time we looked upon The top of Crossland ' s mighty crown; We noticed oft the length of hair That slowly grew and rested there; But losses must by all be borne, For alas! the kid has had it shorn. Haake is struck on golden hair, — He ' s smitten on a face so fair, He wants a sonnet written to The face to whom he would be true. With awkwards we are well supplied; The sleepy and slow we do not hide. Collins looks just like a sheep And Ege, slow — he ' ll hardly creep; And then there is our old friend Kuhn Who ' s ' most as graceful as a loon. One Finch there is, with wonderful phiz, On curling hair could pass a quiz; He takes a looking-glass to school, ? And looks quite often at a fool. Not one church social has been held To which young Jones was not impelled; He ' d fail to sup before he ' d miss A few short hours of social bliss. Drury ' s tie can always talk; If it can ' t creep, then it must walk. 55 Class IFMstor ' - j For Drury it does light the way From class to class, from day to day. Polard loves the high-school girls; He loves Urbana ' s dangling curls; And during class he thinks and thinks, And at the ceiling blinks and blinks. Biscuit Trevett of fair Champaign Loves cock-fights with his might and main. Baker and Allen are Preps we know, As Freshmen they would gladly go. And thus of them they ' d have us think But such ideas are long extinct. One girl we have who, too, is bright; In body and soul she is all Wright, She sings so very like a bird We think we have some raven heard. One other girl we must give space; In chairman ' s seat doth sit her grace. She is the pride of the committee, This other girl so bright and witty. The foot ball team, O, what a theme! They truly are just what they seem; A tough young crew but not so bad As the sente nce that they nearly had. Last term our good ex-president Shea Called up the class full force one day; He asked us then to quickly pay The great expense of a social gay. The social night at last did come, The place was kept most might mum, The thing was truly poor we think The platters spun, they played at Wink. The New street track went by the house The car was quiet as a mouse. At early hour the parting crowd Spread o ' er the prairie like a cloud. Urbana Preps then had to walk, 56 Class 1bt$tor And try to fill the time with talk. We our socials hold no more Except, perhaps, on dancing floor. So verdantly our colors show The state of things down here below. Green in all its varied h ues Is seen each day in many shoes. We beg your pardon, Caps and Gowns, Big Juniors on whom Knowledge frowns, And you that love fair chemistry, For this small piece of dentistry. 57 ! r To the Boneyard Beautiful stream, flow on! flow on!

Kerns President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Reporter EnQlisb Club Of necessity the English courses in the University are confined almost exclusively to writers who have done their work some time ago. The student of literature, therefore, is unable in these courses to familiarize himself with the more recent writers. It has been the purpose of the Eng- lish Club to supplement the work of the regular courses in English by giv- ing its attention to the writers of to-day in poetry and fiction. The Club has succeeded in arousing no little interest in this direction, and is doing an excellent work. Among the writers who have been read and discussed at the regular monthly meetings this year are William Morris, Danti Gabriel Rossetti, George Du Maurier, Hamlin Garland, Rudyard Kipling, H. C. Bunner, and others. The membership of the Club is limited to thirty. M embers Professor D. K. Dodge Prof. Katherine Merrill Professor C. W. Tooke Professor T. A.

Son but est d ' offrir une occasion hors de classe ou les etudiants Francais peuvent s ' exer- cer dans l ' usage pratique de la langue. On se re- unit une fois par semaine. Les programmes vari- ent: tantot c ' est la discussion d ' un ecrivain ou bien d ' une £poque litteraire, tantot une causerie sur des institutions de la France, sur la vie des Francais chez eux, ou sur un sujet quelconque d ' interet general aux etudiants. De temps en temps le Cercle donne une representation pub- lique; ont ete deja representees les comedies suivantes: La Cigale chez les Fourmis, La Grammaire, La Lettre Chargee, La Pou- dre aux Yeux. Par raison de ces exercices divers les etud- ont deja remarqud des progres considerables dans leur connaissance du Francais. bonne volonte et leur enthousiasine assurent l ' avenir utile et brillant du Cercle. •fe Mlle.

Many features of permanent value have been introduced into the work, among which may be men- tioned the attempt at classification on the basis of strength and skill, the work in applied anatomy and corrective work for special cases. That, however, for which the year will always be remem- bered in the annals of the Women ' s Gymnasium is the famous Illi- nois-Wesleyau basket ball game — score, 28 to 14 in favor of Illinois. The announcement of the game created a ripple of laughter in uni- versity circles. A girls ' ' Varsity! The idea was too new and too startling to be taken seriously. On the appointed day a crowd of eager, curious people thronged the spectators ' seats in Military Hall, where the game was to be held. Most of them wore the orange and blue, but all were enthusiastic enough to cheer at anything or nothing on either side with entire impartiality. The signal whistle sounded and out from one of the dressing rooms filed the two teams, the Weslevans in dark blue suits with short skirts, 3 Btbletics XTbe Momcn ' s Ggmnasfum and the Illinois girls in their neat black bloomer suits. Those who had felt doubtful about the propriety of the game found nothing to criticise in the appearance or manner of the players, as, quiet, self- possessed and under perfect discipline, they advanced to their places. Again the whistle was heard, the ball flew into the air and the game was fairly on. Back and forth went the hotly contested ball, now nearing the basket, now sent whirling back toward the center by a skillful stroke of interference, while the hall rang with cheers at every point gained. Every one was delighted with the agility, nerve and skill displayed by the young women on both sides and the perfect management of the game. Illinois especially excelled in team work. Their superiority be- came more and more apparent as the game progressed, and when the final score was announced the ' Varsity foot ball team was immediately relegated to the second place in the hearts of the enthusiastic Illinoisans who witnessed the game. 114 DEPARTS sffirrrrrTrrrrrrr H 2 a$ in tbe Hrt Department A_ OMINCt out of Studio B I nearly ran into a distinguished-looking man intent upon the drawings in the hall. Reeves! :1 I ejaculated, astounded. Ah, Dobbins! You ' re the very fellow I ' m looking for. Come, show me your art department. Not a whit abashed by this sangfroid greeting, I grasped his hand heartily. For, although Reeves is several years my senior and has acquired a reputation as an artist, he is a jolly good friend of mine, and I had often asked him to visit the University where I am just finishing the four years ' art course. But so far in vain. To my amusement, and indignation, he had imbibed enough of the popular eastern idea about western art schools to think it not worth his while. So, naturally, I was please d to see him. Reeves read my face and laughed. You think I ' ve dropped from the clouds, do you? The fact is, I found out in coming through that I could stop over long enough to chat with you and see what you have to show me here in the way of art and design. Wait until I catch my breath, old fellow, I returned, half maliciously. You want to go right through from the start? And figuring to myself Reeves ' mental attitude a few hours hence, I led the way to the elementary class with a cheerfulness which, at the time, I am afraid he did not fully understand. Reeves scarcely had time to open his eyes at our 60x80 room when a voice called our attention to a circle of students seated around a group of large geometric objects. Our first assistant, standing beside the group, was giving a few T brief, pointed directions. Block out the whole group first, we heard him say, before detailing any one object. That is the weekly time sketch for elementary students, I explained. Their regular work is with the smaller groups of still life you see about the room. You know what a wearisome grind this stage of practicing first principles usually is, but Mr. Lake shows a re- markable ability to keep students interested and make them think for themselves, to realize proportions and to draw freely. The quantity and quality of this work 115 Brt anb Besion increase every year, as each Juneexhibition shows. Mr. Lake is one of our own graduates j n Architecture in the class of ' 95, and is already the author of a series of articles on drawing in the ' School News. ' Reeves listened with growing interest. He walked about looking at the students ' work, at the large, familiar casts of Victory and Theseus and Day and Night, and at the general equipment in unconcealed surprise. He read over the work laid out in the University catalogue and plied me with questions. I tried to answer them briefly and point out our distinctive features, for Reeves said he had to catch the afternoon train. As soon as a student is thor- oughly grounded in general practice, I replied to a re- mark about the different classes of work being done by various students, he is given problems to help him in his other university work, as you see the science student drawing birds and plants, the engineer details of machinery and the architect so many ornamental casts. In this way the Art Department shows its fundamental aim — not only to turn out artists and art teachers, but to be an efficient complement to other lines of university work. For instance, this architect drawing that capital in pencil outline in the first term ' s work will handle it in the second term of light and shade, as masses of sepia or charcoal, express it in pen work, and finally sketch and color from nature, before he is through with his art work. Here Reeves entered a fair objection : Can ' t you waste time by being too thorough ? We think the work itself answers that question, I replied. The scientific student can use only so much as he is master of, and we find the pure art student is so much more rapid and intelligent in his advanced work that we count it time saved. But let me introduce you to Professor Frederick. He would take pleasure in showing you the advanced work. At our rap the door of the cozy little private office was opened by the professor in his brown velveteen jacket and with his Van Dyke style of hair and beard — two character- istics that impressed our visitor as deeply artistic, which I related to the professor afterward, much to his amusement. An added gleam of interest shone in his gray eyes when I explained that Reeves hailed from Boston. Ah, do you? That ' s where my own art evolution took place. And he proceeded to draw forth from a curious cabinet a great many pieces of charcoal work, sepias, oil and water colors. As Mr. — Mr. — Dobbins has probably told you, we try to make the elementary work thorough, and have the advanced work as professional in spirit and studio-like as possible. But better take the advice of these posters our students in 116 Hvt anb Etesicjn design have been turning out this term, he added, waving his hand toward a wall covered with startlingly vivid announcements of our annual June exhibition in Studio B, and see a part of the year ' s results. But now, wouldn ' t you like to see some of the advanced work in progress? And the professor took us with him on his rounds through the modelling and painting rooms. This was a more familiar story to Reeves, and he observed particulars with keen eyes as he threaded his way among the much-bedaubed easels. I notice you make a good deal of your time sketches and specialized work here, too, and I believe it ' s a good thing. And you have much more individual criticism than we attempt to give even at home. Yes, I assented, Taft spoke of that when he lectured here last week Taft ! Does he come here often ? He ' s an old graduate of ours, I answered, demurely, but one of many others •who — — — — . Why, only a short time ago we had the pleasure of listening to your own John S. Clark. Reeves was almost overcome. Then, as I took him down the hall into our art gallery of four hundred pieces, where the students of the antique were at work, I couldn ' t help mentioning our own professor ' s indefatigable quest of the newest ideas of art education in other schools, not only in this country, but that this summer he expects to make a trip to London to discover whatever in English methods may be of use to us. Now, if you ' d like to see the students ' sketch class But I glanced at the clock. Why, Reeves, you ' ve just time to catch your car! Reeves made a sudden move toward the stairway, but stopped short. Dobbins, he confessed with a laugh, I guess I ' ll stay over. After all, your professor ' s a Bostonian. S E. W. nS Un flfoemoriam IPerop C. Demino Percy Corbus Deming, of the class of Ninety-eight, died at the home of his parents in Amboy, Illinois, March 27, 1896. At the time of his death, which was caused by con- gestion of the brain, he was in his twenty- fourth year. His death at so early an age was a great blow to the members of his fam- ily, as well as to his large circle of friends and acquaintances, both among his fellow- students and the residents of his native L E r L. town, for he was a young man of great abil- k. ▼ ' Vhfet ' ty, giving promise of a successful future. Ki II KSlfe ' boyhood he attended the Amboy publi H ■ schools, graduating from the High School A flr in 1S91. During the years of 1892 and ' 93 he taught in the Grammar Department of the Amboy schools, being a very efficient and highly respected teacher. In September, 1894, he entered the University of Illinois to take the course in architectural engineer- ing. He was a thorough, conscientious student, and was held in high esteem by his class-mates. The following resolutions of respect were adopted by the members of his class: WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father in his wise providence has seen fit to take from us our beloved class-mate, Percy Corbus Deming, thus causing a great loss — seemingly irreparable — to the class of Ninety-eight, as well as to his own family and the com- munity at large, anil, Whereas, It is our duty to bow in humble submission to the divine will of the All- wise God who ordains all things for the best; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the class of Ninety-eight, deeply deplore the loss of one who was an earnest, conscientious student and an affectionate friend. Resolved, That we extend our profound and deepest sympathy to the bereaved family and to all who held him in loving remembrance. Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our class, a copy be sent to the family of the deceased, one to the Amboy Daily, one to the Illini, and one be saved for the Iu.io to be published by the class of Ninety-eight.

Walk into my parlor and seat yourselves most any- where. There ' s the floor and my trunk and the cot. I ' ll view this throng from my throne on the window seat. Now we can talk with- out fear of interruption for I saw Mrs. Mac disappearing around the corner toward Champaign when we were going over to the Library a while ago. The poor dear will have her temper ruffled, I fear, said Fannie Briar, sitting down on the rug and twisting the fringe. It ' s beginning to drizzle. That will be lovely, chimed in Bernice Vincent from the cot. Maybe we ' ll have something else for supper. My Lad} ' will be tired and damp when she returns and will have — more — perhaps . Oyster stew ! came Bess Whitney ' s voice from the trunk, as we did that awful rainy night she went to that janitor ' s wife ' s funeral. I haven ' t had a square meal since Christmas, Sidney said dolefully, swinging the curtain string back and forth. I wrote home the other day and said I ' d positively have to go home some Friday to get another taste in my mouth . And here is the answer, said Blanche from her chair by the table, tossing over a letter she had picked up. Sidney retired behind the curtains with a little squeal of de- light. The girls chatted on and on but Sidney was reading . As to your coming home, dear, of course we want to see you very much, but your father and I have decided that you had better stay until the Spring vacation. You would be such a short time with us. When I visited you in the fall I could not see that you should complain of the food. It was good and wholesome and enough of it. If it were possible I would send you a box, but you know that is against the rules. Try to be con- tented with what you have . Sidney finished the letter and folding it placed it slowly in the envelope. She looked out through the drizzling rain and watched the flickering light dancing on the basement windows of University Hall. In her mind she seemed to see the home picture — the family tea-table. There were mother and father and her own vacant place, and such good things to eat ! She brushed her hand across her eyes . Here, Sid, you ' re the man of the house, you do it. It was Fannie ' s voice that broke in on her reverie. Do what? she asked, coming forth from her seclusion and slipping her letter into her belt. Make a raid on the kitchen, said Bernice. We ' ve held a council of war and decided that our rations for this evening won ' t suffice, and we ' re dying for some fun. Sidney caught her breath. Why, we wouldn ' t dare, she said, Ann sleeps off of the kitchen and she ' d . 125 Xiterar Ves, we know that, hastened Bess, but Bernice says she heard her ask leave to be off tonight. You know Lottie has a boil on her hand, explained Bernice, ' . ' and when I went after a poultice for it I heard My Lady tell Ann she could go. The other girls are across the hall, you know. Go on, Sid, that ' s a dear. But how could I ever get there? I ' d have to pass My Lady ' s room and her door is always open until she re- tires and that ' s never until ten or eleven. Oh, but that ' s all fixed. Let me tell you, said Blanche, and then they talked low and excitedly. Sidney smiled and nodded her head. Capital ! she began, but a great clanging bell sounded just then. They started up with exclamations of dismay. The tea bell and just look at my hair ! wailed Sidney, beginning rapidly to take the pins out. And me with my g ' y ' m waist on ! said Blanche, and away the girls sped to their rooms. They were all at the table when Sidney came into the dining hall pushing the last hair pin into place. This is the third time this term, Miss Sidney, came Mrs. Mac Veigh ' s voice from the head of the table. Do not let it occur again, and please remember, young ladies, to complete your toilets in your rooms, and she looked hard at Blanche who was strug- gling to button her cuff into place. Sidney glanced down the table. Bessie ' s stew had not materialized, and the girls were eating the same things they had been accustomed to for nights past. Silently the meal was eaten and at the close Sidney said to her four friends as she passed out into the hall, If we ' d had anything else tonight besides cold sliced beef, prunes and cookies with a raisin in the center, I wouldn ' t go on that expedition. But I ' m going. Those cookies are My Lady ' strade mark. They ' ve been here since I have . The young ladies will not congregate in the halls, came from the head of the stairs. Meet in my room at nine, whispered Sidney, and they separated. The lights were extinguished at nine, and just as the great clock in the hall slowly struck the half hour, a figure in dressing gown and slip- pers emerged from a door and slipped noiselessly along the hall to My Lady ' s room, a knock, and to the come in, Bernice stood before her. Mrs. MacVeigh, she said, I think Lottie ' s hand is worse, she moans so in her sleep. Mrs. MacVeigh laid aside the book she was reading and going to the medicine chest, took a tiny vial. Give her a spoonful of this in a glass of water; it will quiet her nerves, she said, and turned to her book. But we haven ' t a spoon or glass in our room, began Bernice, timidly. Very well, I will give it, and taking a spoon and glass she fol- ■ ' ■ ' 126 Xiterar lowed Bernice to her room. As the door closed after them Sidney ' s opened and she came out wearing a long dark mackintosh. Scoot, Sid, came three whispers from behind. Sh-h-h, she said between her teeth and sped down the hall to the stairs. Down she went feeling her way slowly through the dining hall, down the basement steps. Something dropped with a rustle on the floor but she was too excited to notice it. Breath- lessly she opened the kitchen door and crossed the floor to the pantry. She struck a match. There stood the Saturday baking arranged temptingly on the shelves. She shook out the sack made of two towels sewed together for the occasion, but the match went out. She was about to strike another when she heard footsteps on the stairs. She stood for a second almost paralyzed, and then, unconsciously dropping the sack, she crouched down under the shelves and crawled behind the flour chest. She pulled her cloak around her just as the kitchen door swung back. Lottie ' s hand was worse and Bernice had been almost glad in her wicked little heart, for the call for Mrs. Mac Veigh had not been a pre- tense as they had planned. But as she watched My Lady unbind the feverish hand and touch the ugly looking boil and saw Lottie wince, she forgot it all but the look of pity on Mrs. MacVeigh ' s face. This is coming to a head and we must have a hot poultice, she said, almost gently. I will get one, she added in her usual tone to Bernice, have the kindness to bathe Miss Lottie ' s hand until I return. She was gone before Bernice could say anything, and to the kitchen ! She ran across the hall and opened Sidney ' s door. The girls welcomed her in rap- turous undertone, but she only answered in a sepulchral whisper: Girls, she ' s gone to the kitchen and Sid isn ' t hack. ' and ran across to her charge. The girls waited in dumb agony of suspense until they heard, and it setmed hours to them, Mrs. Mac Veigh ' s footsteps resound in the hall. Wha t in the world keeps Sid so, whispered Bess, after they had waited what they considered ample time for her to follow Mrs. Mac Veigh. Before anyone could answer the door opened and shut softly and Sidney stood before them with her bag of plunder. Girls, she began, but a voice in the hall silenced her. Perhaps you had better sleep with Miss Bessie tonight, they heard Mrs. Mac Veigh say, so that Miss Lottie may not be disturbed, and they heard her go to her room. Bernice bounced in on the girls. Is bless you, I was scared stiff, Sid. I was sure she ' d catch you, where did you go? I crawled behind the big flour chest just as she came in. You weren ' t as scared 127 Xiterav as I was when I peeked out and saw My Lady light the gas. I watched her make the poultice, and she had to come into the pantry for the stuff, too. I haven ' t the slightest idea where it is kept, somewhere around the chest, I suppose, for she stood there a long time. After what seemed an age to me she went out. By the time the poultice was done I was almost dead. I never thought I ' d straighten out again. She turned the gas out and I thought she was gone, but she came back and lit the gas again. I couldn ' t see what she was doing but she put something in her pocket after while, leaving the gas burning. I had crawled out before she was gone very long. My, but I was stiff; am yet for that matter, and Sidney rubbed herself carefully. Then I was afraid to come up stairs, didn ' t know where she ' d be, but I ventured and here I am. I don ' t know what ' s in that bag, I filled it in such a hurry. Guess Bess knows by this time. Bess had emptied it out. Pies, just look ! Sid, how did you dare to take four? Fried cakes— oh, Sid, you ' re a jewel — a can of salmon ! Yes; I knew we didn ' t have anything to open it with, so I hunted up an opener. Whew ! It leaked all over everything. But here ' s the gem of the collection, and Sid- ney produced a jar of sweet pickles from under her arm. Don ' t go crazy, Bess. Fall to, girls, or My Lady might meander this way. With a great deal of suppressed laughter the girls began their feast. The light was turned very low, so that only a tiny spark showed over the group sitting on the floor, whispering and laughing, quietly eating salmon with hat-pins and carving pies with Sidney ' s paper-knife. The clock in the hall struck twelve before they separated for the night. 128 literary Meantime the light in Mrs. MacVeigh ' s room shone brightly through the transom. She was reading, but not her book. A crumpled envelope lay on the table before her and she held a letter in her hand. At first her face wore a very stern expression as she read. But gradually it softened, and when she had finished she looked away into the dying coals in the fire-place. A long time she sat there and the memory of her own past life brought almost a happy look to her face. The dying coals took heart again and sent a fitful flame up the chimney, lighting up Mrs. MacVeigh ' s face wearing a half-sad smile. After a while she turned out her light, and the embers blinked and shone as she folded the letter up and placed it in the envelope, ashamed that she had read it. I ' d just like to know where it is, Sidney grumbled to herself next morning. I want to read it again. It evidently isn ' t in this room. The breakfast bell rang while she was still hunting. Girls, she said to her four friends as they went down stairs, did you see any- thing of mamma ' s letter last night? I can ' t find it anywhere. I ' ve hunted since I got up My patience! Egg on toast! Did you ever! This last in a whisper, as she entered the dining hall and saw the table. Twenty surprised girls ate their breakfast quietly that morning, but there were five filled with consternation when Mrs. MacVeigh said as they arose from the table: Miss Sidney, I have a letter in my room for you. If you will kindly come to me immediately I will give it to you. Four girls congregated in Sidney ' s room and waited. Aft er awhile she came in and there were traces of tears on her face. Well? It was Fannie who spoke. Sidney went over to the window and looked out a minute. Then she said: It was mamma ' s letter. She asked me how it came there and 1 told her. She guessed it all because I dropped the sack and she saw it. And, girls, she was — lovely. I wish she ' d sent me to the President or something instead of talking. It isn ' t her fault our food is what it is; she only obeys orders. After all, we don ' t starve, and she looked out again at the sun struggling through the clouds. Emma Rhoads.

And after many days they laughed among themselves and bethought them to return the benefits they had received at his hands else they be considered by the Simple One, who was a Freshman, like unto benefits forgot. And lo! these Pharisees, who were Juniors, invited the Sim- ple One, who was a Freshman, to join them at their dwelling place on a street which is called Church, there to share with them in a quiet game of pok-, to which the last syllable is er. But the roommate of the Sim- ple One, who was a Freshman, rebuked him, saying: Do not go, O fool, for verily 1 say unto thee, thou wilt fall among thieves and be despoiled of thine honor and thy talents. Yea, I have learned much of these men who belong to the Greek letter fraternity from a kinsman who was once one of them But the Simple One, who was a Freshman, rose up, saying: I will go among these men. Yea, even though they do me up of mine honor and my shekels, lest it should be said by them that it cannot be for me to partake ot the glory in their Greek letter fraternity. And it was so. And the three Pharisees, who were Juniors, with the Simple One, who was a Freshman, sat down in the dwelling place which is on the street called Church, and played together. And it was a game whereto the man who is wise in his day and generation doth not turn for any purpose whatsoever. And the Pharisees, who literary were Juniors, were very, very full of glee and ready wit. So, also, was the Freshman, who longed to be one of their Greek letter fraternity. And it came to pass that there was a bowl, which was large and well stocked with liquid, and the three Pharisees winked together and were exceeding glad that they were not as full as other people were. And it chanced that the Simple One, who was a Fresh- man, got many small pots, but the Pharisees waited until he was very full of other than glee and they recked not. And they arranged it among themselves that one of their number should hold four Jacobs, while he who was a Freshman should hold but four tens. And they bet exceeding much. The Simple One saw and raised each bet, for he was very anxious to win favor in the eyes of the Pharisees. And upon the table were many shekels and talents, likewise scudi and drachmas And when the wealth of the Pharisees and likewise of the Simple One was piled in the center of the table, together with sundry checks and I U ' s, there came to pass a thing called the showdown. And lo ! even as it had been prophesied, the Pharisee chosen of the Juniors held four Jacobs. But the Simple One, who was a Freshman, did not hold four tens, as had been prophesied. Nay, he held four ladies, which were exceeding good. And he gathered unto himself the wealth which was on the table like one who hail suddenly become sobered and went home unto his roommate saying that he had played the game of poker with the three Juniors, and saying also that he must be called early upon the following day that he might rise up and rrray himself for the performance which is called drill. And the three Pharisees spent the night wondering how they would pay their reckoning, which was due upon the following day at their dwelling place on the street which is called Church. 132 literary A U.

X V x wm$r 133 literary Ebc (Srcat flDan ' s IRevcric TT HE great man sat before the open fire in his study talk- ing to the flames as they twisted and fluttered. He had many friends, but because he was great he had found that he must not tell them his secrets. So, when the perplexities and longings within him struggled up till they must find release, he told them all to the glowing coals, and the flames listened and nodded and then ex- pired, and that was all of it. They could never tell. Do you know, he was saying, I think I have never had anything I wanted. I have had so much, so many things, but they have never been just what I would have chosen. I think it has been so always. It began when I was a child. When the family gave me a present it was a book, or a picture, perhaps, when I would so much rather have had the box of sweets or the bear that danced. And then when the boys went out to run and romp, and I wanted to go too, my crippled foot held me back. They told me I was first in my classes, best in the Latin and could solve the hardest problems, but what did I care for that? If I could have climbed the highest tree or come in winner in the race, that would have been worth while — worth doing. And in college, it was just the same there, toD. The hard thinkers and the deep ones sought me out. And I — I wanted to be popular, but the jolly set I wanted to know never thought of me. ' He ' s a book- worm and wouldn ' t care about such things. ' They didn ' t know. And still it is so. I didn ' t want to sit here and write stupid old books of science. What if half the world does take them for authority ! But, O, if I might stand in a great crowded hall and see the thousand faces turned up to mine, know that I could make them feel and thrill with my every breath, make them live upon my thought, that would have been worth while. Over there is that letter — Royal Society of Science. Will I be their president? Bah ! A fig for their presidential honors ! The Bohemian Coterie, if they had asked me — but, no ! Strange — strange! Anything — anything but what we want most — any- thing but that! Strange — strange! In the fireplace the coals were dull and lifeless now. The listening flames were dead. The great man sighed and turned away. 134 Xtterat a Sono of Iklet (PRIZE POEM.) I This is the song of the slayers of men Of the wolves of the far-off Klet, Who gather from glen, from forest and fen With their mouths and their flanks all wet. II We are the beasts who at dark night-time prowl Round the dwellings of all mankind. Our dolorous howl, and bloody streaked jowl Are the tokens of death behind. Ill We are devourers and slayers of man, Are the wolves of the woody hill; And each of our clan can run in the van And can chase down his prey at will. IV Nightly we run o ' er the wide stretching plains, And the trail left behind us is wet; For the low moans of pain, and groups of the slain Are the marks of the passage of Klet.

O, close the struggle, and hotly pressed Hard-knotted muscles the strain attest; The veins on limbs and brow expand, And sweat, all ruddy, flecks the sand. But one is gaining, and one must lose — O, never yield till the hands refuse To grapple and hold — and the eyes grow dim, And one is vanquished. Peace to him! For one was the wreath and applause and cheers — For one there was mourning and maidens ' tears.

' II Xiteran! pilgrim ' s progress ftoucbeo ' XTlp S I walked through the wilderness of this world I lighted on a cer- tain place where there was a den, and I laid me down in that place to sleep; and as I slept I dreamed a dream. I dreamed and behold, I saw a youth clothed in a gray uniform standing in a certain place with a card in his hand and a great burden upon his back. I looked and saw him gaze upon the card and to read therefrom; and as he read he wept and trembled, and not being able longer to contain himself, he brake out with a lamentable cry saying, What shall I do? I saw also that he looked this way and that way as if he would run, yet he stood still, because as I perceived he knew not what to do. I looked then and I saw a man named Registrar comiDg, and he spake unto the weeping one saying, Wherefore dost thou cry? Then answered the one with the load: Sir, I perceive by this card which is in my hand, that I have flunked, and then this bag of conditions on my back is more than I can bear. Then quoth Registrar: If this be thy sad plight, why standest thou still? Know- est thou not that the last registration day draweth to a close? Who art thou anyway, and what is thy name ? The youth in the gray garments opened then his mouth and spake: By birth I am a Sucker, but now I am a Sophomore. My name is Dennis, and I stand here idle be- cause I know not what to do. Then Registrar gave unto the youth a parchment roll, and there was written within, PETITION THE FACULTY. Straightway I saw that the young man wept for joy and would have embraced Reg- istrar, but this person was too busy. And as I dreamed I saw the burdened one go to the two towered castle that stood on the plain, and I perceived the portals close after him and he appeared no more. 145 Xtterar across tbe fallen Xeaves 7THE leaves went drifting, drifting  Down from the tree-tops high, ' Till they lay in heaps of splendor Like treasures of Orient dye. O, the wind was a breath of music, And the sunlight ethereal gold, And life with joy brimmed over, More than the heart could hold — For then you came to meet me Across the fallen leaves. The leaves are drifting, drifting Down from the tree-tops high, And chanting mournful dirges The Autumn wind goes by, And the willow droops her branches Down to the frosty ground. Where the leaflets, sadly rustling Are heaping a long, low mound — And no one comes to meet me Across the fallen leaves. a Ml - II n paraotee ♦ff N Paradise, the other day A Soph pursued his weary way, A fakir met, and from the ware That villain carried, bought a pair Of small, white cubes, for little pay. St. Pete he then engaged in play With those two cubes; taught him to say Come seven, ' leven; fair and square! ' In Paradise. Good luck, at first— most strange to say, Was all with Pete; he grew so gay. He bet his shoes, his hat, his hair. His jewelled crown, his golden stair; He lost; with him luck did not stay In pair o ' dice. I 4 (l N the month of February, When the snow was on the housetops, When the snow was on the sidewalks, When the wind blew ' round the chimneys With a shiver and a shudder; When the snow upon the cross- ings Melted into mud and water, Went the children k nown as Freshmen , Freshmen in the tribe Illini, To the hall that ' s in Urbana, ( )n the street that ' s in Urbana, Busey ' s Hall, that ' s in Urbana. Over Busey ' s Bank the hall is. Medicine man has an office ' Cross the stairway where the hall is. There the pale-faced Freshies gathered ' Kre the sun behind the housetops And the chimneys of Urbana, ' Neath the sky that ' s called horizon ' Ere the sun had disappeared. There the great renowned musician Of the famous Champaign city, — Twin this city of Urbana, — Played a dance tune on a fiddle. And the guileless Freshies ' laughter Floated out across the sidewalks, Where the mud and water mingled With the feet of many Soph ' mores, Sophomores, with perfume laden, Come to offer up their incense At the shrine of these, the Freshmen. But the Freshmen they objected To the incense which was offered, To the pungent smelling odors And the sorrowful eye-water. But the tribe called Soph ' mores heeded Heeded not their sad entreaties, ( )ffered more their pungent incense H_ S and their eye-water; Precious fluid — this eye- water — From the gods our fathers had it, And ' tis made by secret process. None may know it who ' ve not learned it; And the incense rising upward Filled the nostrils of the Freshies, Filled their ears and their eye sockets, Till their tears flowed down like rivers, And their handkerchiefs were soaked. Then they called to them the mayor, Mayor of the town Urbana, Where the hall of Busey ' s standeth; And he called out all his warriors, Brave men, called his great policemen; 14S IRoasts And they came and seized a Junior, Who had come to smell the incense And to hear the fine dance music; And they cast him in a dungeon Dreadful dungeon — city prison, Where his friends soon after found him, Languishing there in his dungeon. And they took a shining dollar, Worth in cents just two and fifty, And they bailed him out of prison. Then the mayor ' s braves, policemen, When they found they could do nothing, Felt the beauty of the incense, Breathed its fragrant, pungent odor, And declared they could do nothing. So the mayor of Urbana, — Hubbard is his name, the mayor — Called again upon his warriors, • ailed upon his braves, the firemen; And they laid a line of hose there, That they might dilute the incense And the Sophomores with water, With a stream of steady water — Sparkling water from a hydrant. But a Sophomore named Baxter, Baxter — that the hero ' s name was — Long of limb and slight of figure Was the hero of the drama — Blue his eye and red his hair was. Like the sunset in the evening Or the sunrise in the morning, That the color of his hair was. Like that hero of the nation, Washington, the world ' s great hero; Like that hero seized a hatchet — Little hatchet seized in both hands; Seized and made a mighty effort. Turned aside the awful flood tide: ' Cross the hose he made an opening, Where the firemen didn ' t want it; Made a hole and saved the incense; But the Sophomores were wetted, Wetted as to skin and clothing, And they sought their tents for refuge. Their landladies smelt the incense, Smelt it, and for smelling, cried. And the Freshmen danced till morning. Danced with tearful happy faces, Till the sunlight streaked the housetops, And the sky that ' s called horizon Like the shade of Baxter ' s hair was, And recalled again the hero. Then they sought their mutual wigwams; Sought them, and they hung their gar- ments Where the gentle breeze caressed them, Fanned them, and took off the perfume. When the morning came Presidentus, Great high chieftain of Illinis Called a council of his chieftains — Of the chieftains of Illinis — Called his bravest braves together, In the wigwam called the office, Guarded by the squaw, the paleface; She who scares the little Freshmen When they enter the Ulini — When the hunting-ground they enter, She who guards the inner office. At the door there sits another, Guardian of the inner office; From the land of the rhinoceros And the tiger, came this guardian; And his skin was like tlie midnight — Blackest midnight, ' ere the dawning, And his hair was short and curly. Different from the pale Illinis, Was this guardian of the office. Black his eye and white his teeth were; And he held a rod of iron, 149 IRoasts ( In his mind a rod of iron) Rod to rule the tribe Illinis. He the proudest of them all was; And he held his head so haughty That he scared the little Freshmen When they entered at the office. Slowly came the chieftains hither At the bidding of the black man, Guardian of the inner office. Facultatus, oldest of Illinis, With his baldness and his whiskers, And his voice of gentle meekness, And his knowledge of bacteria, Came to tell about the evils Of the incense and eye-water, For renowned is Facultatus In this land and o ' er the waters, For his wisdom and his learning, For his wisdom and his goodness. Loved by gods is Facultatus, And beloved by Illinis. And another famed Illini, Noted for his pretty daughters; For his knowledge of the crawfish, And the monkey and amoeba, Known across the mighty ocean And renowned for his knowledge, Came to listen, listen, listen, Like a hunter in the forest, Like a startled deer at midnight, Came to listen and discover. And there came two other chieftains — He who builds the lofty wigwams, Gorgeous wigwams for the mighty, And who makes library buildings For the tribe of the Illini; And the other, meek and gentle, He who keeps the swine and horses In the land of the Illini, Like his kine is he and gentle, With the meekness of the heifer. Silent man is he, the shepherd, And he came and sat in silence At the council of the mighty, At the council of the bravest, He to make a quorum came. Last of all there came another, Like the rushing of the waters, Like the Kansas wind in cyclone, Like the Boneyard in a freshet, Came into the inner office. Economics, greatest chieftain, Greatest of the tribe Illinis, Goodness is his greatest virtue And his wisdom is renowned. Fair his hair and blue his eye was, Flashing like the mighty eagle ' s; His blue eyes did sparkle sternly, And he shut his lips and smiled not, Not a funny story told he — Not a tale of hunt or fishing Spoke he in the mighty council. Strange this aspect of the chieftain, For his heart was great and tender And he loved the guilty Soph ' mores, Children of the tribe Illini, But he loved the honor better, Honor of the tribe Illini. So, with darkened brow and visage, Came in his war paint and feathers, Came to judge the wicked Soph ' mores For the offering of their incense At the shrine of those reeii Freshmen. ' 5° IRoasts Then arose the great high chieftain, He who rules the tribe Illinis, With his snowy hair and mustache, Presidentus, mighty chieftain, And addressed the solemn council; And they sat and talked together Of the Soph ' mores and the incense And the H_ S and Freshmen. And they summoned to them hither, Summoned to the inner office By the aid of their policeman Manj ' men from all the classes, Classes in the tribe Illini, Summoned, aided by the efforts Of the guardian of the office With some little slips of paper — White the slips and black the man were, Summoned to the inner office All the men of the Illini Who had offered up their incense, Offered incense to the Freshmen; And they summoned him, the warrior Who had been shut up in prison, Pease his name, but not a good one, For no other e ' er was like him. Long his hair and long his nose is And his voice, when he is talking — Long and slow, his voice in talking. And the warrior Pease before them Proved himself to be not guilty; Also they summoned up before them All the men of the Illini Who had locks the hue of sunshine. Like the sky that ' s called horizon When the sun sets in the evening Or arises in the morning, All the men whose hair was auburn, Crathorne, Hazlitt and one Capron, And the man who with a hatchet Likt- that one the Nation ' s hero Used to cut that cherry tree with, And won fame and glory with it — Baxter, he who took a hatchet And his way to fame hewed with it, At the same time hewed the hose line, Baxter came before the council. And the chieftains, looking on him, Cried aloud Behold, behold him ! This is he who cut the hose line. Let us send him from Illini, From the hunting grounds of learning Where the pale-faced braves Illini Seek their way to broader knowledge ! Also summoned one whose name was Like a problem in proportion With the ends extreme cut off it, And, behold, a big black kitten, Black as midnight and some bigger Than a buffalo or camel, Seized his tongue and tightly held it, Held it so when he was talking Not a single sound would issue. And it threw them in confusion For they thought an evil spirit Held his tongue to make it voiceless. And they sent him after Baxter From the land of the Illini. Then before them came another From the land of Kappa Kappa, Sigma Chi, so named his tribe was, And he stood before them smitten With a sense of great injustice, And he could not speak to tell them Of the evil of another 151 TRoasts But confessed his own guilt truly; But their wrath was not appeased And they sent him with the others From the land of the Illinis. From the Beta Fpsilon Of the Delta Tau and Delta Came a warrior bearing with him In his hair and on his clothing Odor like the fragrant incense That was offered to the Freshmen, And the council trembled, trembled At the awful pungent odor, At the odor that he brought them; And they sent him to his mother, To his mother and his father, From the land of the Illini. Then the council threw the windows Open to the air of heaven, Wrapped them in theirskinsand blankets. While the windswept round about them, Swept the fragrance from the office, And with foreheads black with anger Called they one who was a Senior, One who in his skull, called cranium, Wears a train of wheels like clockwork, Which, when wound, would keepon going; Nothing in the world could stop it. And he spoke and told a story, Which delighted all the council, Of the H 2 S and Sop h ' mores, Of the Freshmen and eye water. And the council wept to hear him, Wept with joy to hear his story; And they sent him back with blessings To the fields of the Illini. And at last they summoned hither, Past the guardians of the office, To the awful inner office, Where the council held their pow-wow, One whose name had made them shudder; Great he was — a powerful warrior. In the meeting of the army, When the warriors came together, Met and held a wondrous can-can — Drilled before a monstrous audience, And were tossed around by Hopkins, He who walks round with a swagger, He, the awful, powerful warrior, He, the shouting, shouting tenor, On the glee club of Illinis, Came and stood before the council; And they, looking at him, trembled, Trembled at the mighty warrior, But his guilt convinced them wholly, And with tears and bitter weeping, Went he from the land Illini To the hunting grounds of heathen. Then the children of Illini, Pale of face and grieved and heartsore, Wept the loss of their companions, Loss of Baxter and of Owens, And of Means and loss of Burkland, And of him, the mighty warrior, Shouting tenor on the Glee Club; And they met in solemn council, And a parchment wrote and signed it. That no more the little Freshmen Would be troubled with their incense, H 2 S and sweet eye water. Then the council of the mighty Laid aside their war paint wholly, Buried in the ground their hatchet, And forgave the other Soph ' mores; And their labors being ended — Still they lingered in the office, Office of the mighty chieftain, And they sat and spoke together Of the beauty of Illini; Of her hunting grounds and forests. Of her streams and mighty wigwams. And they took the pipe of sandstone,— Blood-red sandstone from the quarry- Filled it well with choicest mixture, Named for Vale, the Alma Mater Of Economus, the mighty, Filled the peace pipe with the mixture Passed it round to one another, And went out when they had smoked n v it. 152 CONSOLATION on, good friend, we ' ve under taken To show vou, if I ' m not mistaken, What other people see in vou: The daffv things vou sav and do; And if, perchance, vour cheek should burn With anger, make another turn; Read on apace, and vou will find Fun in some other fellow ' s ennd. TRoasts Ibell TUp to 2)ate CHAPTER XIX. )W, said the young demon guide to me, you will have to have your nerve with you, for we have now come to the seventh and innermost circle of Hell. It is that part under the direct supervision of his majesty. I looked around and the horrors that I had just witnessed faded from my memory. For miles around, as far as my human eyes could see stretched a vast plain, bordered by a circular chain of high mountains. The ground was a floor of red-hot sand, broken here and there by a seeth- ing, boiling stream of molten metal or a bubbling lake, whose white hot waves broke upon the shore and filled the air with flying sparks. Although the only light was that furnished by these sparks and the white hot tops of the neigh- boring mountains, it was enough to see that this vast desert was thickly peopled. But one did not need to see to know this, for the air was filled with the howls and moans of the sinners who had been deluded by Satan ' s advertising to emigrate to this barren region. In this part of Hell each shade was given a punish- ment that best suited his particular case, so that no two were punished alike. Near the place where we entered was a small area of rough cinders and rock, and here was a group of three that immediately attracted my at- tention. There were two devils and one mortal. The larger of the devils called out every minute, Fallon it! And then the broad-shouldered shade ran and fell toward a foot ball that was lying in the hottest place. He fell toward it, but never on it, for the small devil would pull an attached string and jerk the ball away. The shade had a familiar look, but I nearly dropped my sketch book when once it turned toward me and I saw the per- spiring face of Coach Huff. Next my attendant pointed out to me a long incline, which seemed to be covered with sandpaper, and on inspection I found this to be true. I wonderingly asked what this was for, but was told to wait and see. In a short time I saw two demons running toward me, dragging a tall, light-haired man behind them. The mortal was sitting on the sandpaper and was pulled by the legs. I stopped the runners and asked them what they were doing, and was told they were finding the coefficient of friction between Oscar Quick and red-hot sandpaper. As we journeyed on I noticed a tall iron fence, which my guide told me inclosed the place where they kept an animal called Calculus. The only way to get out of this climate was by riding this horse-like animal. Thus far no one had ever succeeded in getting out. My attendant boosted me up so that I could see over the fence. The inclosure was about an acre in extent and was as level as a floor. The beast had such a reputation that it was very seldom that any one ever tried to mount it, but, luckily for me, two devils had arrived just before me and had thrown a man wearing a skull cap and Prince Albert coat over the fence. The man picked himself up and brushed some of the sand from his clothes and side-whiskers, and then looked around for the animal. •54 IRoasts It was lying, apparently asleep, near by. The mortal confidently buttoned up his coat and saying, Ready foh you, approached the beast. He patted it gently on the head and then suddenly jumped on its back. What happened next I could scarcely tell, but I know that there was a great confusion and I had the vision of the figure of a man shooting high into the air and falling into the arms of the awaiting devils. He was hustled away and I was told that he would hereafter kill time by cutting it into infin- itesimal parts. As we drew away from the place I heard a very loud voice giv- ing commands, which I made out to be the commands for the setting-up exercises that the students at the University of Illinois go through. The guide noticed my look and hastened to explain: That is his majesty, Satan, who is amusing himself by putting one Brush through a series of contortions that is often inflicted upon raw soldiers. When Satan is not in his office he thus amuses himself. It was indeed true. There stood Satan, and before him was Captain Brush in a light gray uniform going through the setting- up exercises in quadruple time. Satan was just like his pictures with the exception of a plug hat, an expensive neck-tie and a very black cigar in his mouth. I now approached a large building, which I learned was the administration hall of Hell. Here Satan had his private office and reception rooms. In front of the structure, on a platform which was built especially for the purpose, stood a tall, thin man who was doomed to lecture forever. I had heard the voice before, but could not place it until I heard these words come from the speaker ' s lips: The students will have to be more quiet. There is entirely too much noise on the west side of the room, and I do not want to speak of it again. Then there came to my mind the picture of the old library room and the groups of chattering students around the tables. Inside the building, just outside t he door of the private office, was the shade of the registrar of the University posing as a statue of Business. He was bound from head to foot with red-hot tape, with which the building seemed to be well supplied. We entered the office. As it was Satan ' s hour off, Beelzebub, the junior partner, was bossing things. I was introduced to him and he kindly showed us around the build- ing, which was devoted to punishments of a clerical order. In one room I saw a multitude of shades, among whom were Professor Clark and Miss Butterfield. These people were all supplied with theme paper and were compelled to write a theme every five minutes. When each theme was done one of the attending imps criticised it by dashing a brushful of red ink on the back and then thrust it into a waste basket. The sighs and groans that came from this room were most heart rending. In another room I saw the well-known shade of Professor Pence. This man was doomed to find the probability of escaping from Hell. The blackboards in the room were covered with figures drawn with white-hot chalk, and the professor was just about to obtain a result when an industrious devil erased the whole problem and made the noted authority on stand-pipes begin over again. 155 IRoasts As we neared the end of the long hallway I smelt a peculiar odor. I men- tioned this to Beelzebub, who grinned and knowingly shook his head. He handed me a clothes-pin, which I put on my nose, and we entered the room at the end of the hall. I will never forget the smell that came to my nostrils, notwithstanding the clothes-pin. There was but one occupant in the room besides the ever-present devils. This man, who was no other than Professor Palmer, was doomed to listen to his own lectures from a phonograph, while a grinning imp manufactured H 2 S, so that he would get the full benefit of the fumes. As we ascended the stairs the sound of a piano came to my ears. The music had a familiar sound, and I mentioned this fact to Beelzebub, who asked me if I had ever heard Professor Jones, of Illinois, play. Then it suddenly flashed upon me that this was the piece that I used to hear so much when I was trying to study in the library during the afternoons. Satan ' s partner told me that this musician would spend eternity in listening to his own compositions played by a demon. It was too true. I saw the piano and the playing devil and the listening professor. However, listening to the music was not all that the mortal had to endure, for, as he sat there in his red-hot chair, two lively young imps curled and recurled his hair with white-hot curling irons. The only other room that interested me was the kindergarten, or child study room. Here I saw Professor Krohn with a host of other men dressed like babies and children. They were being reared according to the approved methods laid down in the various books that they had written. When we again reached the open air my guide said that there was but one more object of interest that I would care to see, and that we would take the car for that. We went to the track which ran past the administration building and waited. In a few minutes a car with a sign reading : ; This Car to the Brimstone Works : came thumping up. I was surprised to see Professor Swenson acting as conductor, but was told that he was sentenced to be a conductor on an electric car of his own design. I thought to myself that this was what would be called a snap on earth, but before I had ridden very far I changed my mind. The road-bed had been laid by Mr. Ketchum, and between the car and the track I had a terrible ride. My guide decided that we would walk, and so we jumped off the moving car. As we did so a devil with a tin star on his chest saw us, and thinking I was some one trying to escape punishment, he grabbed me by the collar and belabored me with his club. Once, twice he struck. I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes. The knock, knock at the door was repeated. I sleepily arose and turned the knob. It was the letter carrier with an envelope addressed to me. I opened it and read the following: Dear Sir — In accordance with our rules I beg to inform you that you have een recorded as failed in Mathematics u, and Astronomy i, and conditioned in Rhetoric 3 at the last examinations.

To Miss Alys Wiggins: Our Dear Miss Wiggins— We have been comparing notes, and since you have asked us to write we take great pleasure in answering you.

If you haven ' t, why, then, friends, do it. ' Ti ' s built in such an illogical way, And has run— well, sixty years anyway.— But see it you never will rue it. With its rickety wheels and its rickety gear, There ' s no one e ' er sees it without a fear That riding may cost the Professor dear; But then, you know, he will do it. With two wheels in front and two wheels behind, For such is the plan of this wonderful cart, And axles between that squeak as they grind, (It squeaks, I may add, in each separate part,) And a ragged old curtain that flaps in the wind, There never has been the like of its kind,— The idol and pride of Talbot ' s heart. ' Tis a very wonderful shay, I declare. But the most remarkable thing, I swear, Is how in creation it stands the wear. The dear Prof, himself is inclined to be thin, But his nag is inclined to be thinner, And there ' s little of either but bones, and some skin, As they hie them away to their dinner. Such a rattle and clatter, such hubbub and din, Such swaying of curtains, clash of old iron and tin! With a student tucked in before and one aft He hies him away in this wonderful craft, Looking for all the world like one daft,— Or a witch of the masculine gender. But sixty years is a ripe old age, And, though the Prof, is so clever He can ' t much longer prolong its days, For no shay can run on forever. And like that other most famous shay, All of a sudden ' twill give away;— Both it, and the antediluvian bay. And all we can do is to wait and to pray, That fate be kind to the Prof, and his shay.

Look at the 97 Patee at $60, and if you can point out a difference of $40 between it and any bicycle on earth you are good! In fact! very few machines are equal to it, no matter what you pay. The Patee Bicycle at $60, and the Patee Tandem at $ioo, are the best bicycle values in America. They are built of the best material that money will buy. Tool steel, dust-proof bearings, contmu ous cranks, adjustable invisible locking handle bar and exquisite finish are some of the features.
