He was educated in the public schools of Albany, the Old Albany Academy and the School of Law of Union University. He was admitted to the bar in 1871 and practiced law until 1884. He was a member of the New York legislature in 1881, and in 1884 was appointed by President Arthur and con- firmed by the Senate as one of the judges of the United States Court created to determine in individual claims against the $15,500,000 paid by Great Britain upon the Alabama claims. President Draper has always been active in educational work. He became, at a very early day, by appointment of the New York state board of regents, a trustee of the New York State College. While such a member new buildings were provided and the standing and work of the institution revolutionized. He was for several years a member of the board of education of the city of Albany. But perhaps his best known educational work was in the office of superintendent of public instruction of the State of New York, to which he was chosen by joint ballot of the legislature in 1886 and which he held until 1892. In that office he was largely instrumental in very generally reconstructing the educational machinery and in giving new direction and energy to the educational work of the Empire State. The work of all the normal schools and of the teachers ' institutes was placed upon a new footing. A state system of examinations for teachers ' certificates was inaugurated. The work of supervisory officers was regulated and energized, and all of the different educational interests of the state were brought into co-operative effort as never before in its history. While state superintendent he was an effective member of the New York state board of regents and of the board of trustees of Cornell University. At the close of his term as state superintendent, in 1892, President Draper was urged to accept the position of superintendent of instruction of the Cleveland (Ohio) public schools. The Ohio legislature had just enacted a law giving an entirely new and unique school organization to the city, and lodging the appointment and removal of teach- ers, the shaping of the course of study and the supervision of instruction exclusively in the hands of the superintendent. The appointment is for life. He agreed to accept it, but, Company, villainous company, hath been the spoil of me. — B. HazliTT 8 o p I ;S as he was not a pedagogical expert, only for the period of reorganization. In two years, feel- ing that the fundamental principles of the new organization had been firmly established, he announced his purpose to resign. Every newspaper in the city expressed regret, but his judgment was unalterable. At about the same time he was elected to the presidency of the State University of Illinois. His administration there has kept pace with his previous work. Appropriations have increased and buildings have multiplied. The instructional force and the number of students have doubled. President Draper was President pf the National Association of School Superintendents in iSSg- ' go and iSgo- ' gi- He was chairman of the sub-committee of the celebrated Committee of Fifteen on the details of school organization, and prepared the report of the Committee which has become a standard document upon that very intricate and important subject. He has written much upon many phases of educational work and has made addresses before edu- cational assemblages in nearly every state of the union. And she is fair, and fairer tlian that word, of wond ' rous virtue. — Phoebe Parker. Thomas Jonathan Burvtll H.flD., fl b.2 ., %%.2 . Dean of the general faculty, was born in Pittsfield, Mass., April 25, 1839. He graduated from the Illinois State Normal University in 1865. He then became superintendent of the Urbana schools, which position he held for three years. In 1870 he was ap- pointed 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 acti ng regent of the university from 1889 to 1894; served as horticulturist and botanist of the agricultural experiment station 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 for the most part been confined to reports upon his investigations. Probably his pamphlets on Bacteria (7882), and that upon the Parasitic Fungi of Illinois (1885 to i887), have attracted the most attention. o flatban CUtfotb IRicfcer, JS.S., fll . 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, pursuing an architectural course as far as practicable at that time, making up the deficiencies 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 Barr Akademic 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 1873 to take the position of instructor in architecture. In 1876 he was made professor of archi- tecture, and in 1878 he was appointed dean of the college of engineeiing, which posi- tion he has admirably filled. Taking charge of the architectural 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. I am the very pink of courtesy. — Fred Halt,. Stephen Hlfteb tforbes, pb.2 . Dean of the college of science, professor of zoology and entomology, was born May 29, 1844, in Stephenson County, Illinois. He obtained his early education in the country schools and Beloit Academy; enlisted as a 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 pro- fessor of zoology in the Illinois State Normal University in 1874; founded the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History in 1878, and became 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 1SS4, 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. Louis 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 zoological expeditions. He has published seven reports as state entomologist of Illinois, and about two hundred other contributions to zoological science.

He prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., and graduated from Yale in 1SS4 receiving the degrees of A.B., and Ph.D. in 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 instructor in history and political economy in that institution, and instructor in political economy and logic in the Woman ' s College at Baltimore. In 1S92 he went to the University of Wisconsin as fellow and instructor in the school of economics. He has written articles upon the Ethical Basis of Labor Legislation, Immigration, Rela- tion of the Church to Social Reform, Influence of the Independent Treasury on Busi- ness; is author of The Independent Treasury System of the United States. He is a member of the American Economic Association, the American Statistical Association, the American Academy of Political and Social Science, and several others.

Hot., a a Dean of the college of agriculture, and professor of animal husbandry, was born on a farm in Woodland County, Michigan, in 1S56. He taught school before entering Michi- gan Agricultural College, from which he graduated in 1878, taking the degree of B.S. He received from the same college, in iSS r , the ' degree of M.S., and in 1S96, M. Agr. He resided on a farm from 1S7S to 1888, then returned for graduate work, and was elected professor of agriculture in 1S89, holding this position for two years. He resigned this position in order to attempt the establishing of a school of agriculture iu 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 pro- fessor 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 Michigan Academy of Science. «- 3 IDiolet IDelWe 3a ne, fl b S . Dean of the woman ' s department and assistant professor of the English lan- guage and literature, graduated from the University of Michigan, with the degree of A.B , in 1887. The next year she was assistant principal of the high school of Crooks- ton, Minn. In r.8S8- ' 89 she spent her time at Ann Arbor in study, then taking charge of the English department at the State Normal School at Oshkosh, Wis. She spent iS9i- ' 92 in Europe, passing two semesters at the University of Zurich, where she made a specialty of German literature. In iS92- ' 93 she was head of the English department at Wheaton Seminary, Norton, Mass. From 1893 to 1896 she held the same position in the State Normal School at San Jose, California. In 1896 she received the degree of A.M. from the University of Michigan, and the following year that of Ph.D. from the Univer- sity of Minnesota. I am nothing if not critical. — Prok. T. A.

For years it has been a source of regret to all friends of the institution that the State University of the state of Lincoln, Douglas, Davis and Trumbull, not to mention Chief Justice Fuller and the many other illustrious names which have glorified and honored the bench and bar of Illinois, should be without a department of law. For years the time when such a depart- ment might become a part of the university has been looked forward to with hope and anticipation. It was, then, with no small degree of satisfac- tion that the announcement made in the spring of iSq7 that a law school would be opened at the university the following fall was greeted. The occupation of the new library building gave an opportunity for the fitting up of rooms for the new department in that portion of University Hall formerly occupied by the library, and here the law school was installed on CHARLES C PICKETT, PROFESSOR OF LAW. its opening at the beginning of the fall term of 1897. A good working library, consisting of a collection of standard text — and case — books, Illinois Reports ( both Still amorous, and fond, and billing. — Postel and Elma Smoot. 9 supreme and appellate courts), New York, Massachusetts and Ohio State Reports, U. S. Supreme Court Reports, the American and English Kncyclopedia of Law (first and second editions, so far as issued), the Kncyclopedia of Pleading and Practice and the recent volumes of the West National Reporter series, was purchased; and the services of two professors, Messrs. Gardner and Pickett, who should give their entire time and attention to the work of the school, secured. President Draper, himself an able lawyer, would, it was announced, act as temporary dean of the new department. The University authorities were surprised and gratified at the number of students presenting themselves at the opening of the first term. They had anticipated a small attendance at first, but the term opened with an enrollment of over thirty-five, which was increased to forty before the middle of the term. This number included a senior class of five, and two women students who entered the junior class. The courses, as originally planned, were two in number — a three-year course covering, in addition to GEORGE E. GARDNEU, PKOFiSSOK OF LAW. the strictly technical studies, some work in public law and administration, and constitu- tional history, and leading to the degree of LL.B.; and a two-year technical course preparing for admission to the bar, but leading to no degree. Owing to the change in the rules of practice made during the fall of 1897 by the Illinois Supreme Court, the course of study was changed, the one now offered being a strictly law course, three years in length, and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Law. In addition to the class-room work there have been courses of lectures given during Oh! there ' s nothing to be hoped for from her; she ' s as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile. — Klla Loftus. the present year by Judge C. G. Neeley, of the Circuit Court of Cook County, and Pre- siding Justice Burroughs, of the Third District Appellate Court. Judge O. A. Harker, of Carbondale, associate justice of the Third District appellate court, has charge of the moot court work, the work in criminal law, and also has given a course of lectures on the Origin and Jurisdiction of Courts. Lectures have also been delivered before the school by Prof. C. M. Moss, of the department of Greek of the university, and Judge F. M. Wright of the Champaign County Circuit Court. The moot court work, referred to above, is an important part of the school work. It partakes more nearly of the nature of the work in the actual courts of the state than that in vogue in many moot courts, owing to its being presided over by Judge Harker, and here the aspirants to legal fame have an opportunity to learn some of the ins and outs of the actual professional career to which they are looking forward. The law school is young as yet, and its attendance is not as large as that at similar departments of other institutions which have been longer established. This is a short- coming which time will cure, however, and as the department is a vigorous and lusty youngster, full of life and ambition, it is the confident prediction of all connected with it that at no very distant day it will be able to add new honor and renown to the fame of Old Illinois. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married. — Prof. A. C. Burnham. 21 Zhe library School o HERE the ancient scholar depended upon his memory, the modern scholar depends upon his books. It is difficult to realize that books were once too few and too precious to be easily or readily consulted. In those days it was not enough merely to remember the book in which a fact was stated, for the bit of wisdom might never again be accessible. Now it is impossible to keep in mind the books upon even one subject, and catalogues and indexes are indispensable. This change in circumstances has naturally brought to libraries power, influence and responsibilities of which the ancients never dreamed. There were many steps, differing, of course, in the various countries, between the former and the present condition ; between the keeping of books as the brightest jewels of some secluded monastery, closely guarded and sometimes even chained, and the housing of them to-day. At an early day in our own country, libraries made their influence felt. While we are proud of the number of copies of Blackstone which came to the colonies, and of the wisdom of the Fathers of the Constitution, we are apt to underestimate the influence of those early subscription libraries in making the colonists as well versed in their rights and privileges as were few even among the cultured classes in England. To-day, as our democracy grows older and its strength and weakness become more apparent, the need of equal educational advantages for all is more keenly felt. Here it is that the library comes forward to supplement the public schools and becomes, in the best sense of the phrase, the poor man ' s university. Though the poor man may not be able to receive all the advantages of the schools, yet the library can bring the wisest teachers of all ages to await his leisure moments. Not only may the library be the teacher of the people, but in our modern university system it has been most happily called the teacher of teachers, emphasizing all branches of knowledge. Ever since the days of Benjamin Franklin there have been in various parts of the country men who realized the vast influence of libraries, but the era of organization had to be awaited before the old idea of the library as a storehouse would yield to the idea of the library as a workshop. The first well-defined step in this direction was taken in the centennial year, when the American Library Association was organized, with its speaking motto : The best reading to the greatest number at the least cost. In 1887 Mr. Melvil Dewey, recognizing the need of specialists for this new field of work, organized, in connection with Columbia College, the first library school. After two years the school, no longer an experiment, was moved to Albany. Graduates from Albany during the next few years organized schools in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. In 1893, under the directorship of a prominent Albany graduate, Miss Here ' s a starched piece of austerity. — Miss Strkight. Katharine E. Sharp, a successful library school was established at Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago. In the fall of 1897 the Armour Library School was incorporated with the University of Illinois. During the past year one of the finest library buildings in the country has been completed, and the legislature has made most generous appropriations for books. Thus, Illinois is the foremost of the western states in recognizing the profes- sion of the librarian, and in a building strongly suggestive of mediaeval magnificence is found a school for this most modern vocation. The course extends over a period of four years, and leads up to the degree of Bachelor of Library Science. The technical work is described in what are for the most part familiar terms with un- known meanings : Selection of books, checking invoices, collation, accessioning, cataloguing, classify marking, shelf listing, loan systems and book binding. In addition, regular instruction and problems in bibliography and reference work are given and the broader side of the work is emphasized. The organization which the library schools have effected has revolutionized library methods and has increased the usefulness of the modern library. It has been roughly estimated that a carefully chosen, well- arranged library is worth more than one ten times as large which has been hurriedly collected and poorly assorted. In America various mechanical devices have aided in making the library an ideal study where a book can be summoned in three or four minutes, even though the collection number a million volumes. Someone has in- geniously suggested that, though the librarian with his catalogue may not furnish the long-sought royal road to learning, at least he shows a short cut to the needed information. In these days of mental unrest and upheaval the influence of the librarian is second to none. His mission is not only to make known the lessons of the past, but also to inspire and guide those who are striving to solve the questions of the present. In recognition of this, one, at least, of our states requires ever}- town to establish and main- tain a free public library. President Gilman aptly embodies our modern idea when he 9ays : A noble library is a noble organ. Its value depends upon the player. ;: When a master sits at the keyboard celestial harmonies are heard — history, philosophy, science, poetry ; all the muses hover near. : Something to blame and something to commend — K A 9. 25 XTbe Call o ' tbe ©uafl LL the eastern skies are blushing with the kisses of the dawn And the clouds are hasting westward as the day comes march- ing on, And from across the river, just beyond the rushes tall, Comes a cheerful, glad good morning in the brown quail ' s happy call. Oh, cheerfully sweet Through the billowy wheat, O ' er the river ' s fret and fall, Like the harbinger Of a bounteous year Comes the brown quail ' s tender call. When a lad I used to listen for that merry whistle shrill As it echoed o ' er the wheat field or from out the wooded hill. Then my boyish troubles vanished and my sorrows, great and small, Were forgotten for the moment if I heard that happy call. But the fleet-winged years have sped away, the time has long been gone Since I ' ve heard that happy herald on the dewy breath of dawn; Still, among my dearest memories, float- ing upward through them all, Comes the echo, faint and distant, of that happy, tender call. 26 Ill ( ' . QOARRKL BETWEEN AGAMEMNON AND ACHILLES, TV ). DEPARTURE OF HRISF.IS. 6reek tableaux - r 5|HE entertainment given on the evening of November u, 1897, was a notable one because of its unique character. So far as known nothing similar has ever been presented. But uniqueness was something the originators did not have in mind, and would have paid no heed to had it been suggested. The purpose they formed was to present to those who might assem- ble a truthful exhibition of scenes portrayed in Homer ' s Iliad, with fidelity to ancient types of clothing, armor, and so on. Their feeling was that the heroic incidents of the Iliad could be made to stimulate literary interest, to cultivate aesthetic taste, and, even in the depiction of martial events, to leave a feeling of serenity in the mind, due to the artistic treatment subduing somewhat the more patent animus of the scenes. No other book lends itself more easily to such representation, partly because the really noble incidents are numerous and parti} ' because they are wrought out by characters of more than human interest. For, although readers of literature think of Achilles and Diomed, Priam and Hector, Helen and Briseis as human beings, they also think of them as possessing human traits in a pneterhuman degree, and hence the quickened interest they feel in them. It is also true that the traditional past has a glamour about it that invites attention and to some degree gives excuse for weaknesses found in the actors. Homer has particular claims upon attention, because he writes in the youth of the world, and has been so fortunate as to send down to posterity an epic that has all the freshness of that day and all the finish of the most advanced literary epoch. For this reason his work stands in a class by itself, unapproached by any subsequent poet However much men may be ignorant of Homer as an author, from any study of him, few would be willing to say that it is not their understanding that he was the chiefest among all epic writers. The inspiration to undertake the task was twofold. The writer had for many years dreamed of such an evening, and, of course, had mentally before him what it should be. But lack of artistic skill lay in the path, and, furthermore, a study of such representa- tions of Homeric scenes as artists had left had long been a damper to any attempt to produce them. Fortunately Mr. N. A. Wells, when approached about it, instantly and cordially agreed to co-operate in placing a series of them upon the stage. His willing- ness had its roots partly in a fast friendship formed when we were in college together, and in his own love for the spirit of the blind poet and his work. He wanted to see what he could do in reproducing the scenes. What was first under- taken as a slight affair, culminated in a more pretentious programme, which caused about six weeks of unremitting labor on his and my part, and the cordial help of a number of members of the faculty, who chiefly made up the ca?t. The programme presented herewith gives a complete Do you not know I am a woman? When I think, I must speak. — Martha Storrs. 33 account of what was undertaken. The hymn to Apollo is not Homeric, nor are the first and second numbers. The first was inserted for obvious reasons and the second to make a coherent story out of the pictures. The various encores were answered by shifting the scenes slightly, so as to present other moments in the action upon the platform at the time. Some of them were, indeed, quite as effective as the original number. If any regret was felt over the whole matter, it was that circumstances prevented the appearance of other and equally important scenes. The effect of the presentation has been many times heard from the lips of people who were in the audience. It was a distinctly aesthetic one, filling the eye for a time with noble images, and the mind with suggestions of a splendid past. Whether the form of the poses was more advantageous for this end than living pictures would have been, cannot be said. But to have before one ' s mind for an hour representations of a highly artistic type of men and movements in a great drama of the world ' s history, in which the elemental passions of life were so powerfully depicted, constitutes an epoch in the life of anyone. Not only was a new world opened to the gaze of the people present, but even one hour of contemplation of it secures for one a better appreciation of noble things and makes lesser ones assume their right relation thereafter. It was a distinct education upon itsthetic, spiritual lines. The views given below can be traced by referring to the programme.

H Sketch E was a short, spare little man; you might have said insignificant; certainly you would not have turned your head to look a second time had you passed him in the street. Yet a second glance might have revealed something beneath the surface that would have aroused your interest. The hard, drawn look about the mouth could not have come without suffering. The eyes never gained those lights, followed by sudden shadows without some y experience that stirred the deeps of the soul that lie in most of us below the touch of every day affairs. The sun came from behind a cloud 3 1— ' ' The shower had passed. with a sudden burst of light. The bright green of the grass shone with renewed color and twinkled with a thousand diamond dew drops. The purple shadows looked back from the hillside with clearer color; it was a bleak landscape at best when nature looked her brightest. There was a stretch of moor and one forlorn little church, snuggled against the hill in the distance, as if seeking protection against the wind, which always seemed to blow with a sting in the blast across the bare, forbidding moor. As the sun poured a flood of awakening light over hill and church, the long rays touched with a silent henedicite the stones that marked the obscure graves of the country folk who had lived to die forgotten in this bleak corner of God ' s green earth. Out bright ray touched the foreheads of two men slowing walking up the muddy road. One was a small, insignificant-looking man, with eyes that seemed strangely alight because the shadows lay so deep upon his brow and in the lines of his thin, careworn face. His companion was a tall, alert, strong looking fellow, whose face showed broad culture and deep sympathies. I am glad the sun shines there, said the smaller of the two men, pointing to- ward the churchyard. Yes, it seems like a sign, Ed, that better world.

Edmund Garston and his one trusted friend, Tom Andrews, stood with bared heads beside the grave in silence — silence that was eloquent with thoughts that lie too deep for words or tears. The shadows lengthened and the men had scarcely moved. Suddenly Ed turned to his friend. Tom, you saw her once. Ah, well — this is the last time I shall ask you to— to — come here with me. Strange — how many years have you and I made this trip together ? Fifteen years? How a man ' s heart holds to the past! I feel sometimes as if the tendrils of my being which wound about that girl ' s life were bleeding yet. And every morning when I leave my room I stop when I get to the door — you won ' t laugh, will you, Tom ? His voice was almost a whisper. I turn and say ' Good morning, Mary. ' And sometimes I see her just as plainly as if she sat there and I hear her answer. But there, Tom — well — I said this is our last trip. You — you are to be married next month, you said. Some- way I am not used to talking, Tom, and the words seem to stick in my throat. We won ' t visit poor — her grave again. I say, old fellow, there ' s something I want you to do for me. I ' ve never seen the girl who is soon to become your wife. I know from you she ' s all that man could wish for in a woman. God grant she is! You deserve the best woman that lives. Tom, do you know that I am forty-five years old? I ' ll soon be wrinkled and gray — and you know my life is lived out anyway, for half of me has been dead these fifteen years. Ah, well, Tom, it ' s almost dark and I ' m so long coming to the point. Here ' s something I want you to give your wife for my sake and these years we ' ve visited these lonely tracks together. It ' s a small thing. It ' s poor and old- fashioned. It was the one gift I could afford to give her in those days and she wore it always. I want your wife to have it, Tom — that ' s all. Now, Tom, good-by, old fellow. I ' ll take a later train. Life lies before you; leave me with my past. Life, warmth, love and joy are yours. God bless you, old fellow ! Think of our friendship once in a while and tell your wife of me as a man whose taper light of life was quenched before its time. There, go old man, you ' ll miss your train. -x- The sun ' s last bright beam disappeared in the deepening gloom. The moon showed a slender crescent in the west.

The man stirred slightly, then suddenly raised both arms high above his head. A great light seemed to envelop him. Ah, Mary, you are there! You are waiting for me!

GOING. after (Brafcmation...1ba e me (Brafcuatefc ? TN the practical work of life we are constantly in contact with business energy in all its varied forms. There are men who are hustlers, who shape the affairs with which thej ' have to do. There are others who accept conditions as they find them, doing all things according to a generally accepted formula. University-bred men are found in about equal numbers in each of the above classes. This ought not so to be. Naturally, surely, yet unconsciously, certain characteristics of each university are reflected in and make their impress on the graduate. The typical Princeton man exemplifies No Foolishness, which is sometimes said to be the Princeton motto. The influence of the curriculum and the atmosphere of that She looks as if butter wouldn ' t melt in her mouth. — Adei,E Ketchum 45 college are such that the students take in the spirit of the motto, as it were, by intesus- ception. They take nothing in the Pickwickian sense. The Harvard-bred man on all occasions assumes a superior air, which is born of the consciousness that his Alma Mater is the ranking college, but the rugged discipline of practical and business life affects him very much — as time affects corn juice. With him the ageing period is absolutely necessary. His college line of vision brings little within view below the horizon, so that after his graduation he has yet to become acquainted with this matter-of-fact world. And so we might animadvert on the other older institutions of learning, the char- acteristics of which are advertised on each commencement day, and, with various degrees of modification, follow their graduates into the practical walks of life. The University of Illinois is fast becoming known as the institution whose curric- ulum fits the graduate for the practical duties of the nineteenth century citizen in all departments of activity. Get there is his dominant characteristic. That • university best serves society which inculcates in the minds of its students the idea that the public interests have as strong a claim on their thought and best effort as their private interests can ever have. If we, as a people, lack patriotism or love of country, it is caused by allowing our private interests to monopolize our thought and effort. The heroic age in which the last generation lived has given place to the commercial age of the present. The university graduate owes it to his less fortunate neighbor and his neighborhood to be a leader, to mold public opinion, and to enforce proper conclusions by eliminating false public premises. Especially is this true of one who has drunk at the public fountain — the State University. The educated citizen should not use the pruning knife exclusively in his own orchard, nor hoard up all the fruitage of his vineyard. A lighted candle should not be placed under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that it may give light to all in the house. The frozen stream produces no music, nor moistens the valley for the toiler. I ' nless our university education has led us into a broader view of the rights and obligations of citizenship and a higher conception of the absolute brotherhood of man, together with the disposition and purpose to make these conceptions shape our lives and effect the mould of public opinion, it is not profit- able to inquire what other results have been obtained. )ur graduate should take a prominent part in politics and the affairs of state. He should have strong convictions on the existence or non- existence of Natural Law in the Spiritual World, and on man ' s eternal destiny. He should have an all-sufficient motive for every word or act; in short, he should constitute a small university in which tuition shall be free to all with whom he comes in contact Jrosox F. Going, ' 83. Fills up the space nothing else was made for. — STai.EY. 46 H Epical Hrtist ' s Tbouse one never goes N one of the tall, dark, foreign-looking houses surrounding Gramercy Park, in the heart of New York City, lives Xaver Scharwenka, the famous Polish composer and pianist. A typical artist ' s house, full of rare carvings, old paintings and souvenirs of a brilliant artistic career, e very nook and corner of its four stories abounds with interest and delight to the visitor. On the third floor is a large room into which even for the hundredth time, without finding some new object of wonder and interest, so many are the treasures and souvenirs to be found there. It is the private studio of the composer and here it is that the charming after-dinner hour is usually spent with mirth, wit and music to make the hour drift into two or three before one is aware. And such music! The rapt fnces and listening attitudes JRAN MAIIAN PLANK. of beautiful women and strong men, with the background of that ideal _room, make a picture never to be forgotten; and with such artistic and harmonious surroundings the artist is naturally at his best. Among the most interesting objects, aside from the richly carved cabinets, fine paintings (and, of course, the grand piano ), one is shown a snuffbox presented by Rubinstein to Mr. Scharwenka; another snuffbox of antiquated design, once the property of Frederick the Great; a collection of fine mosaics, wonderful pipes, old swor ds, knives and firearms. Mr. Scharwenka is said to be a daring horseman and a dead shot, and on viewing the murderous-looking guns and pistols, as well as hearing his tone of reverent enthusiasm in speaking of his favorite horse, Caesar, one can well believe that hunting and horsemanship would have a share in his affections along with his beloved music. Jean Mahan Pl,ank, ' 78. 47 ©n tbe Wrono £vail The Indians of to-day are not the Indians of the past. From generation to generation you have played upon our ignorance and superstition; you have blinded us. You have made us believe you were helping us to your ways, but instead of that you are degrading us lower and lower by keeping us as outlawed Indians and dumping upon us the evils, not the good of your ways. Would you isolate your children on a barren soil ? Would you surrouud them with ignorance and superstition ? Would you put them among idlers, beggars, gamblers, paupers and cowboys? If you did this, would you expect them to be cultured, refined, intelligent, humane and honest? Would you expect to make them indus- trious, self-supporting citizens? No; you would place them in the midst of the most refined, cultured and educated communities, among English speaking people, where they could come face to face with all phases of civilized life, so that they might utilize and improve all their faculties. It is not enough to make visits like swallows to civilization. Long range education away from civilization is an utter failure. The boy and girl goes home and back to barbarism. To accomplish the elevation of the Indian, compulsory education will be neces- sary. This education should not be on reservations nor near them, but in your public schools. If the choice of my life had been left to my mother and father or to myself, ignorance and the very depths of barbarism would have been my fate. Out of geograph- ical barbarism into geographical civilization and citizenship is the true war cry for the Indian of to-day. Four hundred and some odd thou- sand emigrants land upon our shores annually ; in a few years they and their descendants are absorbed and lost sight of. This is because their children have the benefits of the public schools. I wish I could collect all the Indian children, load them in ships at San Francisco, circle them around Cape Horn, pass them through Castle Garden, put them under proper individual care in your public schools, and when they have been matured and moderately educated let them do what other men and women do — take care of themselves. This would solve the Indian question, would rescue a splendid race from vice, disease, pauperism and death. The benefit would not be all for the Indian. Tuere is something in his character which the interloping white man can always assimilate with profit. CAKI.OS MONTH .IMA, M . I)., ' 84. 4 S UK MONTEZUMA. XTbe Strange 5tor of a 2 iat In the summer of 1884 the whole civilized world was thrilled by the rescue of the survivors of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition under Lieutenent A. V. Greely. Nearly all of the members of the expedition had died from hunger and exposure. The few that were still alive were in the last stages of exhaustion when rescued at Cape Sabine by a relief expedition under Captain Schley. Only a slight spark of vitality remained in the survivors, and great skill and care were required to fan this spark into a semblance of health and strength. One member of the expedition, Private R. R. Schneider, succumbed only a day or two before the relief expedition hove in sight. He had kept a diary up to the day of his death, in which he had carefully noted the sufferings and trials, the hopes and fears of the different members of the party, whose chief diet was finally limited to parts of their sealskin cloth- ing, roasted or stewed, with now and then a few shrimps and lichens as a relish. The strongest member of the party, Private Henry, had been shot by order of the commanding officer, because he was stealing food from the weaker members and robbing them of the sustenance which was absolutely necessary to their existence. The story told in the diary was most pathetic and touching. When the survivors were rescued, their effects and records were gathered up and taken on board. Some of the sleeping bags were in such bad condi- tion that they were thrown overboard. Later, in looking over the records and other articles, it was discovered that Schneider ' s diary was missing. The commanding officer reported to the Secretary of War that it had been accidently thrown overboard off Cape Sabine. Early in the spring of 1SS5 a portion of the diary, covering the last two weeks of Schneider ' s existence, was found by one of our surveying parties on the right bank of the Mississippi River, about So miles below Cairo, 111. The leaves were separated and scattered over a distance of about three hundred feet and had evidently floated to the place where found. These leaves were sent by the writer of this sketch to Lieutenent Greely, and their record is given in Appendix No. 125 of the report of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition. The report, however, does not explain how a diary thrown overboard off the coast of Greenland could reach the waters of the Mississippi River on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. J. A.

He saw, through years that dimly lay beyond Our range of mortal sight, A cosy office in a busy town; The name upon the window was his own.

The student sighed, Ah! 1 am happy now, And then awoke. The dream was dim and gray. His lessons still unlearned before him lay, The future, all oeyond.

Hammers Helen Jordan A. B. Hurd Sergeant-at-Arms . A. S. Williamson T seems a little strange that we should be called upon to write a history of the class of ' 98. The record of her achievements is so well known that it seems hardly necessary to be repeated here. However, it may perhaps be a pleasant diversion to reflect for a moment on some of our experiences during the four bright, busy, happy years since our history began. Our path has not been strewn with roses all the way. We have had our discouragements, our trials and our triumphs; yet through them all we have endeavored to keep steadily onward in our progress. Our class has entered into all the departments of college life with an earnestness and zeal that has put it in the forefront of all the classes that have gone before. In our freshman year, our verdancy disappeared with the autumn leaves, and since then we have been a factor always to be taken into account in any university event. Our prowess in athletics has been considered remarkable. The number of stars in the regular university teams has, in almost every instance been identical with the number of ' 98 men on those teams, respectively. In the musica organizations we have been well represented, but in the classroom we have won our greatest laurels. By the end of our freshman year we felt that we had a recognized and honorable place in the student world. By that time, also, the members of the faculty had begun to recognize our ability and a number of them went immediately to Europe as a conse- quence, to take advanced work in the great universities. Many changes have taken place since our advent into university life. Early in our freshman year, President Draper began his administration and at the same time occurred the dedication of Engineering Hall. Since then we have seen the erection of the astronomical observatory, ■- all the new shops and the great library building. Truly we have reason to feel proud of the grand development of our university, and we hope we may live to do her honor. We are truly grateful to old Illinois for the superior advantages we have enjoyed, and we hope to demonstrate to her that such increased facilities have only broadened her field of usefulness and greatly increased her influence.

In our make-up there was nothing less remarkable than the fact that our number was somewhat smaller than is usual at the beginning of the year. Even though the class had not been increased as it was later, the superior quality of the body as a whole placed us far ahead of anything that the institution had ever greeted or is likely to greet again for a long time From the start we have been a conspicuous group. At first those with whom we came in contact were unable to appreciate us, and from awe and embarrass- ment were timid and fearful in our presence. However, we admit things were somewhat strange in the beginning, and our first few experiences may be better conjectured than told, but, as time passed, the despair that arises from the process of registration and the perusal of programmes was dissipated, the hardtack was accepted as a matter of course, and weeping from homesickness and sad separations became a thing of the past; indeed, in all our subsequent history only once is it recorded where we were moved to tears. That the influence of our addition to the university has been very great and widespread in general is evidenced by the fact that ere we had gone far into the season the doctors concluded to take up the line of march with us, and likewise the judges and jurists at the be- ginning of the second year selected us from among the whole with whom to cast their lot- Such distinctions had never before been con- ferred upon the institution. Indeed, so much confidence came soon to be placed in us that when the next body of recruits arrived they were put under our direct supervision to be started in the way they should go, and to be As long as the moral law. — W.

This task, considering the material, we accomplished in a most summary way, in general by example, exercise and exhortation, although it was sometimes necessary to apply the brush. As a class we shall inaugurate some changes that from our ob- servation we believe to be necessary. The freshmen shall be en- couraged in whatever attempts they make at sociability. To this end we furnished four members for their annual, who assisted very materially by leading the grand march. To forward them has ever been our aim, nor shall we cease in our efforts in the years to come. Not only are we encouraging them at a critical part of their school life, but we hope that there may be developed at this place another class that will be competent to carry to success those occa- sional diversions incident to university life, on a scale of magnificence and grandeur that shall be creditable alike to the institution and student body in general. For we recognize the fact that the un- looked for might happen, owing to the uncertainty of the future, which would prevent us from tak ng charge on such occasions. But we would not boast. Unmindful of those rare talents with which nature has so generously endowed us. we pursue the even tenor o As our influence is felt and our achievements reviewed, the on-looking worl ' claim: Why not?

Class Ibistov? of 1902 % NE evening, as the twilight quietly settled about me, I sat in my Qfc easy ' cnair, drowsily repeating rego, regere, rexi, rectus, and, as I leaned my head upon my hand, the sighing of the wind and the rattling of the wagons in the street below became more and more distant, and it seemed that I was in a far-off seaport. As I passed along the wharf, viewing the great vessels, I spied a little cruiser, with heliotrope and pink ribbons floating from her mast, and on her starboard, in large gilt letters, were these words: Schola quae parat. On entering, I was received by a tall, nervous gentleman, who informed me that he was Captain Howe, and that his little cruiser carried its passengers only a short distance out to sea, where it connected with a larger steamship line, the University of Illinois. He also informed me that they would set sail in a short time, and suggested that I accom- pany them on their journey. I gladly accepted the invitation, and we soon left the quiet little harbor and sailed away into the great misty ocean. When we were well under way, Captain Howe kindly offered to acquaint me with his crew, which he said consisted of four energetic and well-qualified officers. We first met his mates, Mr. Alvord and Mr. Randolph, who, the captain told me, were very agreeable and efficient helpmates. We next met Mr. Douglass He ' s a hustler, said the captain. The boys say he frequently goes at ' a track-team gait ' when discharging his many duties. We then met Miss Clendenin, the only lady of the crew. We found her in an office with a bucket of red liquid by her side, and on her desk was a stack of papers, which she seemed to be decorating with various pitterns of red figures. The captain said she had been a member of his crew for several years and that he had found her services to be indispensable. We had not proceeded far on our journey when a number of those on board became ill; among them Mr. Randolph, who was prevented from attending to his duties for several weeks. Most of these cases, however, seemed not to be serious; but one proved fatal, and one of our most promising young men was taken from us ; but the ennobling influence of his quiet, devoted life con- tinued in the hearts of his young friends. I soon made a number of pleasant acquaintances among the boys who were taking the journey, and found many of them to be quite talented in different lines of work. Among the foremost of these was McCracken, our poet-laureate and designer of our plate in the record book of the University of Illinois, to which we were asked to contribute. I found our lady passengers to be somewhat in the This was a soldier, ev ' n to Cato ' s wish. — A. S. Williamson. ioi minority, but, as some of the boys said, they gained in quality what they lost in quan- tity, and in the athletic field it seemed that they even surpassed our young men, whose strenuous efforts to organize a football team failed from lack of pushing force. When it became known, however, that the young ladies would exhibit their skill in a game of basketball, the young football enthusiasts determined to attend the game and relieve the pressure of their athletic zeal by cheering the maidens on to victory. But as the game progressed, the ball seemed inclined to alight among the cheering yonng heroes instead of in the basket, which resulted in the loss of the game. About the middle of the journey the monotony of our life was broken by an enjoy- able social event, at which all on board were invited to be present. The evening was spent in social intercourse and various forms of amusement, our pleasure being not in the least marred by those annoyances we heard so frequently accompanied such occa- sions on the larger steamer. As I conversed with the captain one evening during the latter part of the journey, he expressed the confidence of safely landing all his passengers on board the University of Illinois, with the exception of two or three who had made the trip before, and had always, on approaching deep water, been seized with seasickness and forced to return to land. And, in truth, said he, I have almost despaired of their ever getting aboard the great vessel. Supper! shouted a voice, and I was back again in my room, with my Latin lesson unlearned; but when I remembered my voyage on the little ship, I thought how strangely similar to our real journey through Prepdom.

The membership is limited to twenty-five, and consists of the instructors in the English department and such stu- dents as show marked ability in this particular line of work. It is the aim of the club to study the writers of the present time, since the English courses in the University must necessarily be confined to the work of former years. The members have been unusually enthusiastic this year. Interesting programmes and dis- cussions have been the result. The Choir Invisible, The Martian, The Christian, Quo Vadis, Captains Courageous, and the late Life of Tennvson have been reviewed this year. The club has also made a stud} ' of Marion Crawford, Henry James and F. Hopkinson Smith. Current events are frequently discussed. active numbers Dr. D. K. Dodge Miss Violet Jayne Prof. T. A.

Arm in arm the Musketeers advance, Their loves and duels I watch; perchance I see the dashing Gascon fight — With old Dumas ! How fierce their chargers then did prance ! How softly did their ladies dance ! Brave days of old ! With new delight I see your strong men eager smite, And wander as if in a trance With old Dumas. Louis M.

Sailing down the dancing Kickapoo, Fishing oft beside those waters blue, There is naught that can compare With the pleasures I found there, While drifting down the dancing Kickapoo. All the orchards were in blossom, all the woods were full of song, And the meadows trilled with music all the merry way along, And the gentle waters lulled me, till it seemed I scarcely knew Whether I was up in Heaven or upon the Kickapoo. But those happy times are over, and though now I ' m old and gray, Still I ' m longing to be romping in the old familiar way, Just to float adown the river as a boy I used to do; Building golden, Spanish castles on the dancing Kickapoo. All those roasted, in concert: — ' Tis pleasant, sure, to see ones name in print; A book ' s a book, although there ' s nothing in ' t. 238 (keeping IRoomers: jfrom Zwo Standpoints Xoor on ftbia picture HAT in thunder ' s the matter with the furnace to-day ! he said to his room mate as they came into the cold room after drill. 1, ' m going to leave this shack if we don ' t get a little more heat. A man might just as well be at the Klondyke as try to live in this house. It = hasn ' t been above forty this winter. Light the gas, Mac; we can make it look warm if we are freezing. Say, he said a little later, as he rummaged in the drawer of the washstand, are there any clean towels? I don ' t believe we ' ve had one since last term Still, I don ' t mind a little thing like that. Didn ' t the old lady freeze me this morning for that whistling I did when I came home last night ! I wonder what she expects. Doesn ' t she appreciate a cheerful disposition ? I ' m sure it wasn ' t more than twelve. I believe these farmers go to bed at sundown. He walked over and rattled the register vigorously and then continued: We can ' t do a thing but there ' s a kick. Just the other night, when you were out to that frat party, Clyde and I were having a little round with the gloves ; we ' d taken off our shoes in con- sideration of the carpet and their feelings — when the old man had to come up and call us down. But they never seem to get on to the racket those kids make in the morning. They get up at daylight and play tag and raise particular Cain until we go to breakfast. I never get a chance to sleep in the mornings. I said to Mrs. Ford yesterday, ' the children were up pretty early this morning, it seems to me ; ' and she said, ' oh, yes; they disturb no one, and they do so enjoy romping in the hall. ' They haven ' t mixed them- selves up much with our things since I told her that I kept a loaded revolver in the drawer. I ' ll be darned if I ever saw such rotten furniture as she gives us. Now, look at the siderail of that bed. You threw me on it just as easy as could be and still it broke square off. There ' s another castor smashed too. If you just touch a thing it goes to pieces. Look at this old carpet ! I bet her grand- mother had it when she went to housekeeping. I don ' t see why people rent rooms if they can ' t fix ' em up half decent. She gives me the impression at times that it is only through her extreme kindness of heart that we are allowed to live at all. She even objects when we lie on the bed because we get the counter- pane dirty. She ' ll expect us to stand up in the corner, nights, soon. Do you suppose she ever sweeps? I wrote in the dust on the windowsill two weeks ago and it ' s there yet. Never mind turning out the gas, Mac, he said as they started down stairs, we won ' t be gone long; besides it ' ll heat things up a little.

If they don ' t improve they must leave; I can ' t stand it any longer. Mr. Thompson came in after twelve last night and made enough noise going up stairs to wake the dead. I never slept a wink the rest of the night. They are really unkind to the children, too, and I ' m sure no one has more attractive children than we have. The carpet in their room was new two years ago, and I don ' t be- lieve it will last till spring. There isn ' t a bath towel in the house; I ' m sure they ' ve taken them over to the gymnasium. You ' ll have to speak to them again about that boxing in their rooms. They ' ve already knocked the plastering loose on the parlor ceiling, and the way they were pounding each other around the other night I think they ' ll come through the floor next. They smoke just dreadfully, and you can smell tobacco all over the house. I was really ashamed when the minister called last Thurs- day. I just told him that it wasn ' t you, and that we did our best to exercise a good moral influence over the students. Do you suppose they steal all those things they have in their room? They ' ve ruined the walls by nailing up those hideous signs. We ' ll have to have that north room papered before we can ever rent it again. And, George, the gas man called to-day and his bill is simply appalling. I believe they leave the gas burning all the time. I noticed the light under the door last evening, and I ' m sure they were out. And as soon as she heard the roomers go down stairs she crept up to their rooms and turned out the gas.

It wasn ' t a time, then, for picking and choosing ; Had she tried it, perhaps ' twould have been her own losing, For men can be stubborn as womankind can. The queen of to-day, in her rose-covered bower, Might wed with a fisher, and think him no lower Than she — if through the whole breadth of the earth The whole race of men were on fishing rampant, As women are crazy on gossip and cant — And of princes and noblemen there were a dearth. The gourmand who feasts in his banqueting hall, Had he lived as did Adam and Eve ere the fall, Would have thought that dry bread was a very rare treat - A change from the simple and limited diet To which they were used, — (their lives were so quiet), — Until they discovered the value of meat. If the banker to-day had no gold on his shelf, And never had heard of money and pelf, How gladly he ' d barter in oxen and calves, And reckon exchange on their tough, precious hides, And trade them off whole, or trade off their sides, Or deal them out piecemeal, in quarters and halves ! If men were all poor, then all would be rich; If men were all high, there would be no one low; If men were all hungry, then all men might feast; — But the winds are not east when northward they blow.

Egregiously an ass. — Uthoff. 245 XTbe ©tber ©ne ' e Sweetheart OM would have missed it sorelv if the photograph in the upper left-lnnd corner of the mirror had suddenlv disappeared. He felt a vague sort of companionship with the pictured face, and studied the sensitive mouth and thoughtful eyes as he would never have dared to notice their original. All through the length of their sophomore year Beth Lowell had been his room-mate ' s sweetheart, and that was perhaps, at first the only reason he took any interest in her. She was one of the very few airls with whom he had even a speaking acquaintance, for usually he studied the arrangement of the hricks in the pave- ment whenever he saw a girl approaching, and whether she looked at him or not was a matter quite beyond his know ledge. But his room-mate was diffen nt. Jack was in everything that was going on, and, as was his way, rambled on at home with glorified accounts of whatever he was concerned in. So Tom heard all of Beth ' s doings and sayings, and Jack, suipid fellow, never discovered that Tom enjoyed one part of his con- fidence more than another. But when September came again, and with it junior age and dignity, matters had taken a different turn. The picture was duly installed in the upper left-hand corner of the new mirror, but it was Miss Marsden and Angie Thorpe that Jack now described tohis room-mate. Tom noticed it with a strange little feeling of resentment, though it would have been totally foreign to his nature and habits to mtntion so personal a matter. But out of it all he evolved an idea that as yet he had not been brave enough to carry out. One evening when Jack came home he found Tom fastening himself into his highest collar. He inquired with interest: Well, fellow, what ' s up? The answer was a growl. Going to study steam engines with Grange. Tom whistled Well, I didn ' t know it took all that style. I hope he ' ll notice that ' s your best tie you have on Whereupon Tom verv logically stripped off the tie, crammed the collar into the top drawer, and, devoid of either adornment, strode across the hall and spent the evening with Penny Rogers. It happened that a few evenings later Jack went down with another fellow just after supper to get some tickets for a theater the next week Tom hurried home in a nervous fever, and in an incredibly short time was dressed as on the former memorable occasion. Then he sat down and tried to study, but in a moment he jumped up in alarm and looked at his watch. A quarter to seven ! What if Jack should come home and find him dressed so? In another five , minutes he had slipped into his overcoat and Sunday gloves and, y -L F snatching his hat hurried out into the street There he felt better. Two thousand years ago I am a geese. — Tebkhtts 246 but suddenly the thought, Only a quarter of seven ! Well, there wasn ' t any help for it. He wouldn ' t go to see. any of the fellows fixed up in this way. So he started out to spend the next hour and a quarter in walking. During that time he passed a certain house on West Washington avenue at least half a dozen times, staring anxiously at the front windows. A faint light shone out, but it seemed to come from the open door of the room beyond. He wondered grimly if some one else was expected. At last there came a moment when, looking at his watch by the electric light at the corner, he thrust it quickly into his pocket and set off with new resolution in his steps. As he approached the house once more, coming toward him he saw a dark figure that seemed to pause. Tom ' s heart stood still. But the figure passed on and Tom soon hurried up the steps. It was considerably later when he came down to the street again, and stalled off at a headlong pace for home. He slowed up after a little, muttering to himself, No use going like a steam engine, and smiled as he said it. But before he knew it he was off again as though racing with the wind. When he came in sight of home, the light in the window informed him that Jack was there before him, and he smiled as he wondered what would be his greeting. He found that Jack had just gotten in and was glancing over a lesson for the next day. He looked Tom over carefully, and then inquired dryly: Been studying engines? Tom slipped off one glove slowly and threw it on the table. Then he looked at Jack and laughed. Jack sat up with sudden energy. Say, old fellow, who was it? You ' ve got to ' fess up. Tom flushed as he answered: Beth Lowell. Jack leaned back and whistled, then scrambled up and reached across the table. ,; Here, sonny, I say! You have my congratulations. If I only had my battery in front of Havana, there would be nothing but Spanish spoken in hell for six months. — HASEWINE. 247 Uwo Seniors was late that afternoon as she stood there in front of the Alethenai frame reading for the twentieth time the senior program. The old hall was deserted and still, save the ticking of the clock at the landing. The afternoon sun bathed the west windows with a glorious light, and sent long rays across the floor. But she didn ' t notice. Her eyes were fixed on the frame in front of her in a dreamy, absent way — so dreamy and absent that she didn ' t hear the footsteps echo in the hall above and slowly descend the stairs. And not until they stopped behind her and a voice spoke her name did she turn her eyes in a startled, half apologetic way. You look as if you had been brought back to earth, Miss Leland, the voice con- tinued, and the owner smiled at her quizzically. Do I ?, she answered, turning back to the program and pointing to one number on it. ' Did you ever see such a subject? ' Retrospection! ' Four years of college life to ' retros- pection ' in a ten-minute paper! I never can do it and keep within bounds. There is such a flood of memories. I was living some of them over again as you came up.

No, she answered, I want to do post work here, but Aunt Fannie thinks I ought to accept that High School position offered me. I don ' t have to teach, you know, and I dislike it, but for some reason both Aunt Fannie and Uncle Will have talked the other way this week. Good discipline, he said laughingly, as they stopped at the bottom of the stairs, and he handed her a photograph. Here is something I owe you. They only came to-day. Oh, your senior picture. It ' s very good. I like the cap and gown effect. Wasthere, or did he fancy he saw a slight flush come over her face as she smiled her thanks to him from the cloak-room door? He didn ' t know, but it made him whistle softly to himself as he waited for her out in the hall. The janitor, coining from the basement with his brush and basket, chuckled to himself as the whistler ceased whis- tling, and smiled at the girl who came from the cloak-room. He stopped and watched them go out of the great doors, descend the stone steps and disappear. He looked at the space a minute with a half sad smile on his kindly face. They ' re goin ' too, he muttered. Hope they ' ll be together! wherever they go. It saddened him every commencement-tide to What can ' t be cured must be endured. — Sti ' bbins. 248 be ' it ;y.

No, he answered slowly, looking at her furtively; I wonder if you will glad? I am going to Europe in the fall. To Europe V she asked, looking up in astonishment. Yes ; uncle can ' t go and he wants me to. You are surprised ? I am very glad for you, she said, as they stopped at the parting of their ways; is what you have wished for so often. And all the way to the club he wondered if she really did care whether he went or not. Strange, he thought, that fate had circumstanced them so almost entirely alike. Each possessing everything in life to promote happiness, yet each almost alone in the world, save for the relatives with whom each lived. They had worked across the table from each other in chemistry the first year, and somehow they had kept up, during the four years the friendship formed there. And jet in a few days they would be separated, and then in two short months the ocean would lie between them. He wondered Was it the summer breeze that fanned the flush into his cheeks as he ran up the club steps? There was a happy little song on Ruth Leland ' s lips the next morning as she stood by the pansy bed and arranged a bunch of the thoughtful little faces for her room. The post- man smiled at the picture as he came up the walk and held out the mail to her. A letter from Uncle Charley, she mused as she went into the house. He hasn ' t written to me in a long time, and this is addressed to Uncle Will. I wonder why ? But she forgot to wonder as she arranged the pansies in her . _ |9 room and then sat down to read her own letters. She folded up the last one and looked out through the filmy lace curtains at the bright sunshine outside. I ' ll go down and ask Aunt Fannie whether to take the school or not, she finally concluded, and pushing it into the envelope she went over to her writing desk and laid it down, unconsciously moving the little bunch of pansies near a new senior photograph standing there. The song stopped on her lips when she opened the door of her uncle ' s study and saw her aunt, with bowed head, sobbing softly, and her uncle with a white, sternly sad face holding an open letter in his hand. It was late that afternoon when Ruth stood by her window and looked out at the departing sun, with eyes that did not see the 249 glorious light bathing the western horizon. Commencement week had already dawned. Baccalaureate Sunday had passed in a dream. Class day had come and gone, and the senior ball was over, and this was the evening of alumni day. To-morrow would be commencement. There was a dull ache in her heart as she thought of it all, of what the passing days had brought, and the question of the future. She wondered if, after all, it were not a horrible dream? Then she beard the steady pacing back and forth of her uncle in his study below and knew it was true She leaned her head against the window frame and tried to recall everything her uncle had said in his letter, but it was all vague. She only knew that he had said everything had gone in the crash; Uncle Will ' s fortune first, and then, with the vain thought that he might save himself, he had used Ruth ' s, and that had gone, too. A hot tear fell unheeded on the window sill as Ruth listened to the steady tread downstairs. How much they had tried to keep from her, would have kept from her that she might be happy ! She drew back from the window suddenly as a familiar figure in a senior cap and gown came up the walk, and she went down to meet him with a forced smile on her face, concealing an aching heart. They talked that evening, as they sat on the porch, of the four years just past, laughed over reminiscences, regretted that college life was over and then once more spoke of the future. She sat in the shadow and listened as he planned his work, and watched his face glow in the moonlight. After a while he, too, grew silent and looked out over the treetops to a single bright star hanging low on the horizon. The moon rode slowly along, peeping in and out now and then, between the clouds ; the crickets chirped lustily, and the frogs sang clear and shrill. Away off from somewhere, and yet clear and sweet, floated on the night air the tones of a violin. Ruth listened as the tones rose and fell and then almost died away. Hardly audible but infinitely sweet, it almost spoke the words: They have broken your heart, I know ; And the rainbow gleams Of your youthful dreams, Are things of the long ago. She raised her hand to her mouth, but it was too late; the half suppressed sob had passed her lips. What is it? he asked quickly, getting up from the steps and starting toward her. Nothing, she answered, rising also and coming out to the steps in the full glare of the moon. Her face was as white as the gown she wore, but she smiled bravelv as she said : Why were you so quiet? Dreaming of the actual castles in Spain you are going to see ? ' ' No, yes — I was wishing . Ruth, will you go with me? The moon slipped behind a cloud, the crickets chirped softly, and the frogs over in the marsh hushed their voices and sang quietly, and the notes of the violin were still. When the moon came out again it saw a man in a senior cap and gown walking swiftly, without knowing where, and the breezes, blowing the tassel of his cap gently aside, showed a white, miserable face, with sternly set lips, and journeying a little farther on it looked in at a window and saw a senior photograph lying face downward on a little desk by a bunch of fading pansies. and saw the night breezes, bringing with them the trembling sweet notes of a violin, blow the filmy lace curtain around a white-robed figure kneeling by the bedside in a sorrow too deep for tears.

And Love had won his hot, young heart and filled his passionate breast with a fond desire. But she was cold.

Then would be time enough to think of love; now it could not be Besides, she must have a career of her own. At first the boy seemed surprised and pained. Then a hard look settled about his mouth, and his face grew stern and cold. Without a word he turned and left her. And a sudden fear seized her heart and a longing for— she knew not what. But she shook it off with a nervous laugh and hastened on. And he plunged into the city ' s moil. Many blows were given and received, and the succeeding years found him still toiling upward.

Far out in deep, dark woods and mossy dells The freshened brooklets widen in their flow, The springs burst forth again from hidden wells And all the trees with buddings gladder grow. The virgin skies, upon the world below, Look down and dream, with smilings from the sun, Fair Nature revels in her work begun, And earth is freed from all her winter ' s woe. There in the deep recesses and the shades The armored pools lie anchored in the air; Here love to linger in the shy, cool glades The timid fawn and loping, shadowy hare; The wildcat crouches in her hidden lair, The heron splashes in the water ' s edge, The wary rabbit skirts along the hedge, And song-birds love to build and warble there. From distant farms the dreamy low of kine Comes in across the meadows, sweet with rue. The chopper ' s axe rings out among the pine, And crashing branches let the sunlight through; The naked boughs their misty buds renew, And argosies of violets again Are blooming where the wasted snows have been, Drifting the woodlands with their simple blue. ' She floats, the vision of a dream. — Miss Jayne. • 2S6 Far from the haunts of men, in maple woods, Blithe sugar-makers speed the merry hours With song and laughter, and the solitudes Are freed from winter ' s thrall; the dewy flowers, Warmed by the sun and wet by vernal showers, Peep from the fresh, green mold; at early morn The vagrant huntsman winds his bugle horn And wakes the wild birds in their leafy bowers. ' Tis here I love to be, to dream away The sunny, melting moments, and to see A new life glisten in the new-born day, And all the old year ' s legacies, in fee, Leap into life from bramble, bush and tree; ' Tis here at even comes the first pale star To light the heavens, and from folds afar The drowsy herd-bells bid good night to me. Like fish that live in salt water, yet are fresh. — Strouse-HouTER. 257 Ibell b£ Electric Xigbt B ©ails Experience at tbe College of lPbissicians anD Surgeons. HE guide pressed a button and a great iron gate swung open, revealing an arch leading into what seemed to be a brilliantly-lighted apartment. Ten guide pointed to an inscription over the entrance which reads as follows : Any person who has not swum the Chicago river, participated in a game of football, or been in the G. Frank Lydston fight had better refrain from entering here. Having informed him that I had smelt the powder in the last named battle I was permitted to enter. The guide had previously informed me that, as I was the first inhabit- ant of the earth who had visited them since the introduction of electric lights into the abode of darkness, I would be able to see what no other mortal had ever seen, as the dark corners of hell had been revealed. When I entered and looked around I found that, be the devils what they may, this one had told me no lie. There was a wide expanse of perfectly barren country covered with platinum sheeting heated by elec- tricity to a white heat, with here and there volcanoes spouting forth great sheets of forked lightning. There were very narrow gravel paths for the visitors and a few favored devils, who acted as guides and tormentors, while the shades were compelled to tread the heated platinum, which was traversed by numerous streams of molten iron so wide that the shades were obliged to either wade or swim them. I was told that these streams flowed to the great central electric plant of the place and the iron was used in making dynamos for furnishing the light and heat. While the place was lighted with great electric lamps to a brilliancy that dazzled the mortal eye, yet I found that it was not done as a kindness to the shades but so that no one might enter a dark corner and escape well-merited punishment. My guide informed me that, with the advent of electricity the old brimstone had been discarded, but he said that they had found a . substitute that was far beyond it as a tormentor. On being asked if I would like to see the substitute I answered yes, and he led me to one side where there was a large pit from which there came a semi-decayed, penetrating odor which I had noticed on my first entering the place, and which seemed to have a familiarity about it. After being warned not to fall in and to hold my nose I bent cautiously forward over the railing that surrounded the pit, and imagine my surprise when I beheld seventy or eighty I). Js. of 1 ' . S. at work in the chemical laboratory. I had barely time to recognize them when I was obliged to retire in order to escape having red-hot acetic acid squirted into my eyes. My guide kindly led me away, gave me a large lump of asafetida and advised me to hold it near my nose during the remainder of my visit. He then pointed to a mountain in the distance which he said contained some extremely interesting things, so we started toward it. While passing along I noticed a very tall shade coming toward us over the hot platinum with a wheel barrow filled with liquid fire which Old foxes want no tutors. — F. G. Fox. 25S he was daubing on all the electric-light posts as he came along. When he stopped at a post he stood on one foot presumably to cool the other. I thought I could not be mistaken about that foot and on coming nearer my diagnosis was confirmed, for it was no other than Strohecker advertising the ' 99 football games of P. S. I was informed that he was to devote one half of eternity to advertising and the other half to reading the same. Plodding along and wondering at the strange sights and meditating on the possibilities connected with an eternity, I was suddenly interrupted by the guide an- nouncing that we had reached the mountain. I looked up and beheld the entrance of what seened to be a great cave, brilliantly lighted. My guide informed me that this had never been discovered until the introduction of electricity and now it was fitted up as a place of special punishment Pipes jutted out all along the walls, which I was informed connected directly with the laboratory we had just seen. This cave was divided into several departments and a devil was stationed at the entrance to each. We were permitted to look in but not to enter. In the first one we camet o I saw great piles of pamphlets and before them, seated on three-legged stools, were two individuals I was forced against my will to recognize as Edwards and Smith, and on closer inspection I found the pamphlets to be old copies of the Plexus. I was informed that they would be compelled to spend five-sixteenths of eternity reading editorials from these pamphlets. Nor was this their only punishment, for every few minutes a devil came along and yelled at them: One dollar per annum, single copies 15 cents. A little farther on I saw a long line of devils filiug slowly past an open window at which they stopped for a few minutes and then passed on. My curiosity being aroused, I went over that. way and picture my amazement when I looked in the window and saw the faces of Albrecht and Hummel. Although there was a sad look on their faces, which bespoke an eternity of occupation, yet behind it I saw a devilish grin that made me suspect that they were trying in some way to cheat these poor devils. I took occasion to look into the apartment and everything was I made plain. On one side was a kettle of boiling mercury and on the other one of potassium iodide, from which they were filling all perscriptions. Just around one of the corners we discovered Whitmore, guarded by two devils. There were a countless number of small boxes before him and he was hard at work endeavoring to find the unknown contained in them. Every few minutes he carried a small slip of paper up to one of the devils, who glanced at it and with a satanic smile shook his head. I was told that he would be obliged to work here until 3 o ' clock in the afternoon of the last day of eternity. I expressed a desire not to go farther into the cave, whereupon we turned to the left and soon found ourselves outside in front of an immense structure which was built entirely of human skeletons. I was told that this was the place of punishment of prominent medical professors. The punishment that I had previously witnessed was but kindergarten work compared with what I witnessed here. It is beyond the power of human mind to describe it. All that I can say is that there were many faces in that building which would have been recognized by the students of P. S. The guide led me to a side He that falls in love with himself will find no rival. — Williamson — Fresh. 259 entrance and I passed out. Just outside the gate I met a small boy, to whom I gave my piece of asafetida, as he was afraid of catching whooping-cough. The next thing I remember I was sitting in the lecture room at 813 W. Harrison street, listening to a lecture on Gynecology and to this day I am at a loss to know whether I really visited the domain of Satan or whether it was a dream. I strongly suspect the latter, and that Heald hit me on the head with his notebook, as he looked guilt}-.

The faculty quite generally accepted the test and entered into the competition with a zest and energy unusual under such circumstances. By the first of March over sixty-five triolets had been submitted for prizes. It is with a deep feeling of pride and gratification that the Board can now put before the public the best of these triolets, believing by their so doing, that the literary abilities of the Faculty of the University of Illinois will be made apparent — shall be shown in a clearer light — and that their literary talents shall henceforth be unstained by base calumny.
