S. Rodman, ’04 Introduction The editorial board of the class of 1902 beg leave to call your atten- tion to the fifth volume of the Grist. Because of the small number in the class and the limited time at our disposal we were in serious doubt as to the advisability of publishing the annual. But the task was at last undertaken, and we hope to have achieved some measure of success in the present volume. We have aimed to represent fairly the life and scope of the Institution and relate the history of the special school held during the vear. Some people have been remembered in various ways, but they have in most cases deserved their fate. We hope that you will enjoy the following pages, or at least appreciate our desire to please. We request your indulgence for our sins of omission or commission, and humbly recommend to your consideration the 1902 Grist. The Year’s History The past year has been one of unprecedented development in many lines. The college is increasing its scope and enlarging its sphere of in- fluence in a marked degree, and the resulting satisfaction to friends, fac- ulty and students is correspondingly great. Student ethics are better, but, sad to say, college spirit is at a low ebb ; the freshness of the Sopho- mores is undoubtedly responsible for this turn of the tide. There have been several changes in our faculty since last year. Doctor Field has resigned as Professor of Zoology to enter upon a larger field of labor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Miss Rockwell went to Chicago University to continue her studies, and Miss Hazlewood went home to get — we have since heard rumors. Mr. Allen, too, left us to pursue his studies at the Harvard Law School. These have been sadly missed by the college, but we were fortunate in procuring excellent sub- stitutes. Dr. Curtice, of North Carolina College, became Professor of Zoology, Miss Sanderson, of Smith ’oo, entered upon her duties as instructor in place of Miss Rockwell, and Miss Gage took Miss Hazle- wood ' s position. In addition, Mr. Radtke became instructor in Physics and Mr. Beardsley succeeded Mr. Allen. To the great satisfaction of all the students the professorship of Military Science and Tactics, vacant since the departure of Capt. Wotherspoon in 1898, was filled in January bv Capt. Solomon Sparrow, of the 21st U. S. Infantry. The short courses of former years materialized as usual. The Poultry School caused the dormitory to crow for six weeks, and the Summer School brought a deluge of girls. The School of Horticulture alone failed to appear — too much “spinach” in the way, perhaps. The regular students have not been “fired and rusticated” as much as in former years, but the cause is too intricate to be clearly explained without using too much space. Social life has been very much the same ; possibly a little slower than usual. The Military Ball was a grand success and the reception of the dancing class was the “greatest” event of the year. All the other func- tions were well patronized. The clubs, too, are very prominent in college life ; hence they are numerous and all are flourishing. Under the paternal guidance of Mr. Tyler the college athletics are stronger than ever before. Absolute fairness and thirty-five hours a week practice are demanded, and no player is allowed to be out nights or permitted to injure their arms or eyes by throwing things in the dormi- tory. Needless to say, he is very popular and is much appreciated by all. particularly the “Preps.” Our College As students of the R. I. C. we like to assume that the institution in which we feel so keen an interest must be well known throughout the State. But in point of fact we sometimes meet people who either have never heard of it or are quite ignorant of its true aim and scope. And so this little volume would like to preface whatever wit .and wisdom its pages may contain with a brief statement concerning the work of the college, thus helping, perhaps, to extend its sphere of usefulness. Opening in 1890 «is an Agricultural School, the institution became a college two years later, and receives its support from State and congres- sional appropriations. Its aim is “to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.” In order that their work may be of a grade sufficiently high to justify the generous support received, the agricultural and mechanical colleges of the country have courses of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science. This institution has six such courses ; the agricultural, mechani- cal, engineering, electrical engineering, chemical, biological and general scientific, each of which — as is fully set forth in the catalogue — is in- tended to fit the student pursuing it for later practical work in his chosen line. What this shall be the individual aptitude must largely determine. To avoid the narrowness often resulting from premature specialization, thorough fundamental work is Required in mathematics, tlhe natural sciences and the English language. It often happens that pupils in country schools are unable to obtain there the preparation required for admission to the college. Such persons may enter the preparatory department, where they will receive the desired instruction. That the college may benefit as many as possible short special courses have been arranged, among which may be mentioned the two weeks’ Summer School of Nature Study and.the six weeks’ Poultry Schpol. The institution is especially designed to meet the needs of the great middle class, and so it is hoped that its usefulness may increase with the years, as the exceptional opportunities it affords become better known. To ambitious young men and women of limited means it should strongly appeal. We judge of a work by its results, and the graduates of the R. I. C. are filling with credit to themselves and their Alma Mater a variety of positions on the farm, in the schoolroom and in the business world. May time add to their numbers and deepen their loyalty ! THE CLASSES Class of 1901 A. A. DENJCO, President. Vice-President. A. B. SHERMAN, Secretary. H. D. SMITH, Treasurer. N. A. Briggs C. S. Burgess L. B. K. Cearner Members E. E. DayveEv ' A. A.

Dear readers of this book, as we, the last representatives of the colonial days of the college, come before you to relate briefly our final struggles, we hope vou will not be amazed if some surprising things are told of such a dignified class. That we are as dignified as previous classes there is no doubt ; but as we have always been so the fact is not so noticeable. Seldom in the history of mankind has H2 O been the means of severing the golden ties of friendship, but this great health restorer is responsible tor the parting of two of our worthy classmates who have always shown unbounded love for each other. That one of these Wilby with us com- mencement is due wholly to the charming influence of Miss Dolly, whose faculty for brightening the soul is not excelled. The offence of the other was Con (g) don (ed) . but the fact remains that he did not treat one of his friends White. Denico has practiced for the track with a zeal which can only be re- warded by success. He rode a distance of five miles and back at least five times a week the entire winter. The peculiar thing about his train- ing is that he always rode in the night and never went beyond a certain place in Wakefield for fear of overtraining. His speed may be judged from the fact that it usually took him from four to five hours to make this trip. Burgess has served as legal adviser for some members of the class. One member in particular when questioned as to why he did certain things would always reply that “Burgess told me to do it.” That Burgess would make a capital lawyer there is little doubt, and the ability he has shown in Steer (ing) those inclined to be (Crooked) has been wholly a success. His favorite resort when not at the R. I. C. is the Pier. 1 he class owes its wonderful progress to the unusual equipment it has for crossing the great sea of college life. With Burgess at the helm we have been Steerefd ) through many a stormy voyage, although some- times nearly Tuckered. As for Wilby, all we can say is, “Blessed are the peacemakers.” The most astonishing misdemeanor and the worst perpetrated by any member of the class during the whole course was the wrecking of a train at Narragansett Pier. It came as suddenly as some of Miss Dolly ' s questions, for he was one of the most dignified and respected members of the class. He is a famous athlete, and probably didn’t have any destruc- tive intentions but was only trying to verify the law of the indestructibility of matter. As for the girls but, little can be said, as they are so reserved and dignified that they would have no dealings with classmates, only a few members of the poultry class being admitted to their company ; but this is not strange, as they are noted for their individuality. Hortense James has been true to the old saying, “She never cares to wander from her own fireside,” and has once more honored us with her commanding presence, although she has had an extremely melancholy bearing since her return. We are sorry there are not more lower classmen. They are such a minute quantity that the Sophs could not find enough to disseminate their hilariousness on, so they most unsuccessfully tried to defeat some of the plans of the upper classmen, thus violating one of the oldest of the un- written laws of college life. But there is still hope of their redemption, as they have two years more in which to learn this great law of propriety. Our one word of parting advice to the lower classmen is : Be loyal to R. I. C. It is with the deepest sorrow that we leave, and the debt of gratitude we owe her will always be foremost in our minds. Class of 1902 B. J. CORNELL, President. O. N. FERRY, Vice-President. A. L. REYNOLDS, Secretary and Treasurer. Honorary Member E. J. Watson. Members R. N. Maxson R. W. Pitkin L. Clarke, B. J. Cornell O. N. Ferry A. L. Reynolds 1902 Colors — Royal Purple and White. LATHAM CLARKE. It has been said that it takes all kinds of people to make a world, and this is also true of classes. The class of 1902 is “blessed” with widely different types of men, but we all unite in admiring the greatness of our precocious infant “Doctor” Clarke. He has the true idiosyncrasies of gen- ius, and his flights of imagination are unsurpassed. Once he was a lover of biological research, but now his fickle fancy has turned to chemical lore. It is rumored that his discoveries are so vast and important that he will soon be the centre of attention in the scientific world. Pie has lately com- menced investigations in the realm of “Physiological Calculus,” and is still seeking new worlds to conquer. We, the uninitiated, stand aghast when we hear him address some frightened Sophomore: “Young man, you are not to use any apparatus in this laboratory, for it is all reserved for MY WORK.” It is true he has his an“tip”athies, which in some cases are well founded. Blessings be on your head, my little man; just live and learn. BA [LEY JORDAN CORNELL. B. J. Cornell is a vivacious young man from the banks of the Hudson River. It has been insinuated that he is a man of exceptional ability, but as we have known him for some years we wish to deny any such erroneous report. We confess, however, that he has exerted his talent in a surprising manner in the preparation of this little volume. Unfortunately, B. J. doesn’t do any remarkable things that we can relate, so this sketch must draw to a close. He threatens to leave the classic shades of Kingston at the end of this year, but we live in hopes that certain potent bonds may be strong enough to keep him in our midst. OLIVER NELSON FERRY. Three years ago when a little band of Freshmen gathered together under the shelter of Davis Flail the most modest and shy member of the class was our dear little Oliver. He could not be enticed away from the campus by any of the wiles of the upper classmen, and positively refused to suc- cumb to the attractions of the fair damsels of the Watson House. We fondly hoped at that time that he would prove to be a subduing element in the class and help to keep the wilder heads within the pale of propriety. But how rudely were our hopes shattered! Who would think that in three short years such a complete change could be wrought ? We are now kept continually on the alert wondering what is going to happen next, and are never sure that all is well with Oliver. He has, however, the redeem- ing feature of aspiring to become famous in the engineering profession, and it is hoped that his present unstable equilibrium will gradually ap- proach a perfect and lasting balance. ARTHUR LEONE REYNOLDS. It is with great diffidence that an attempt is made to faithfully portray the wonderful attainments of our worthy member from Athol. As a literary and mathematical scholar his parallel is not to be found in the college, and his work in electrical engineering bids fair to place him far above the common workers in that profession. Arthur has his troubles, of course, like the rest of us, but he has such a happy wav of taking his medicine that no one ever dreams that “Stub’s” life is anything but a bed of roses. RALPH NELSON MAXSON. Common words cannot express all the qualities of this gaseous genius from the windy city of Westerly. In the use and abuse of technical phraseology he cannot be ' approached by any psychological or physio- logical elucidation of the ordinary ephemeral microcosm who is exhaust- ably sequaceous enough to show obeisance to his seraphine proboscidial protuberance. The circulatory vibration of his inferior mandibicular appendage by means of the oesophigal commiseures, actuated by means of his ganglionic medullary oblongatal combinations, exudate multitudinous and infectious Solomonisms regarding anthropological hetcrogenousness. Also is it especially conformable to fact in his cerebro-hemispherical dissertations on the constitutional formullary of meta-benzene-dicarboxylic-enzyme- para icucaniline-sulphonic-esterated-nitrosophenylostryphinic decomposi- tion. ROBERT WILEIAM PITKIN. It is an unfortunate circumstance for the malignant reviewer when he chances to meet such an unpretentious character as “Deacon” Pitkin. We should have been most happy to roast him, but the worst we can say is that he isn’t as bad as the rest of us. He has always acted as a balance wheel for the wild and wicked members of the class, and bis good inten- tions even force him to stay out all night “watching” for opportunities to prevent evil. The “Deacon” is visibly broadening ;n his views of men and things, and although we depraved ones can never hope to reach his ethical standards, he still attempts to encourage us in our upward strug- gles. He is somewhat of a “grind,” but, notwithstanding this, we expect him to be a great engineer. Class of 1903 C. E. WHITMORE, President. Vice President. E. L. KIEFER, Secretary. F. L. CROSS, Treasurer.

Whitmore To write the history of this class, And write it clear and plain, Is more than mortal man could ask And have a mind that’s sane. For all the things that have occurred In the class, both great and small, Would make a book of size un heard And drive the printer to the wall. So for these simple reasons I’ll select the greatest facts And with them my paper season, Although it much will lack. At the end of every term Each Prof, gives his exams. ; As when the tide does turn The fisher digs his clams. So when vacation ended, As Profs, we all began ; And on a Fresh, descended And gave our. first exam. One night when the Grange was over Eou C r rattled by, And under his wagon’s cover Was a cake got on the sly. His horse was quick unharnessed ; Then he ran to get his cake. And his face with smiles was varnished : But, alas ! it was a fake. While Lou was vainly searching And hunting all around, he cake was — Oh ! so pleasing. As a “Sophie” ate it down. The Poultry Class that now has gone Knew of Noah and his Ark, And of the lake the water formed, On which he sailed his bark. To rain they knew was a habit then And for forty nights did fall ; But they didn’t know of its vogue again Till they lived in Davis Hall. The newest things that come about Are now the greatest craze; The Sophs alone have brought them out. As the nights bring forth the days. For in sleighing we clearly set the pace As to time, or size, or mirth, And in easy manner won the race In the care of Miss Bosworth. One night when the ground was covered With white and crystal snow, A sleigh was by one discovered All ready a trip to go. The straw was piled in deep and soft, With blankets new and old, And every effort was put forth To keep out the stinging cold. The Seniors were to take a ride, But somehow changed their sleigh, To sit straight up and side by side, In Stutely’s two hoss shay. Of all the laws of beast and man, Their courses and their range, I never, never, never can See why they made their change. Whene’er you hear that cannon roar And wake the valley round, Tip scurries ’round to every door, But the Sophs are sleeping sound. At breakfast then we get a treat To hear the ladies tell That they had jumped so many feet And back exhausted fell. Then’s the time you bite your lip To keep from laughing out, While all the while they’re calling Tip The poorest of a scout. Last year old Cupid wandered ’round And tried to enter in ; The doors of certain hearts he’d found, And some he wished to win. One time we feared that he would win And steal away some hearts That ever to the class had been Among its brightest sparks. But now we firmly know That they never will vacate, Or from the class e’er go Until they graduate. But there is more that I must sav Before my paper’s done Of the fast degenerating way Of one from Tiverton. The first time that we saw him His soul was spotless white, And never could temptation grim Deflect him from the right. But the greatest reasons I’ll unfurl When I say it’s caused, perchance, By his walks with a certain Senior girl And his eagerness to dance. Class of 1904 W. S. RODMAN, President. M. W. BRICGS, Vice-President. T. P. WELLS, Secretary and Treasurer. Colors. — Blue and White. Honorary Member S. W. Sanderson. Members Myron W. Briggs Willard A. Ballou Tiberio Garcia Aloma Thomas P. Wells Walter S. Rodman John Clancy At last we have entered upon our real college work with renewed en- thusiasm and with the intention of overcoming all difficulties, such as “Trig” and the intricacies of “Deutsch.” Miss Sanderson, our instructor in English, who began her duties as we enteied our Freshman year, kindly consented to become our honorary member, and her kind advice has been of great assistance to us in many ways. Sad to say, we lost several of our classmates of last vear, and as only two new students joined us, we have but a small class. Nevertheless we intend to make up in quality what we lack in quantity, and to render applicable the well known motto, “Multum in parvo.” Our first year in the college has been very pleasant, and, for the most part, without any disagreeable occurrences, although we have been slightly annoyed by some of the upper classmen in their eagerness to “borrow” our class caps and exercise their authority. We have received all such jokes good naturedly, however, and look forward longingly to the time when we shall become Sophomores. P. S. We are patiently awaiting the return of our “borrowed” caps, as we are sure that the upper classmen would not stoop so low as to re- tain them permanently. Visitors at the institution are often heard to inquire concerning the crowd of children they see upon the campus. But when it is learned that they are only the “Preps,” the questioner understands the ' r juvenile antics at once. Yes, my little ones,, play and frolic while you may ; and although you are a nuisance we have not the heart to repress your innocent amuse- ments. You are, indeed, kindly dealt with, for when you are weary of your A. B. C.’s Prexy shows you .marvelous pictures until your tired little heads droop in the sweet slumbers of childhood. There seem to be some little girls in your midst who have ambitions ; some for conquests, others for an extended education at “Smith.” It is an amusing sight to watch this bevy of youthful charmers (?) as they prink and preen themselves on the steps of Lippitt Hall. Sometimes they succeed in at- tracting little boys, who bashfully succumb to their irresistible attractions and then stand lost in mute admiration. We will offer you some bits of good advice before dismissing your in- significant affairs. Don’t try to be older than you are ; always acknowl- edge the superioritv of everybody. Don ' t advertise lost ink bottles with a reward greater than the original cost. Don’t overwork, you are in dan- ger of physical collapse. Now if you bear these things in mind there is some hope that you may in time become endurable. Now it came to pass on the ninth clay in the first month of the new century Ihat the fourth class of the Poultry School assembled for six weeks instruction and experience. We came from many states, extending from New Hampshire to Illinois, and although we differed in manners and habit, one bond united us all. Barely two days had passed when a strong political feeling became manifest, and this continued throughout the course. Everybody wanted to be President and all the other officers too, but fin ally, to prevent trouble, the Presidency was given to a little fellow who was too small to arouse envy, and nobly did he fulfill the duties of his office. He was so preoccupied in the contewnplation of his own importance that he failed to create excitement by any violent meas- ures. We had hardly landed at the college when our trunks became homesick and started to fly back, but were finally captured in a neighbor- ing grove. This was not the only strange thing that happened, for the roof of Davis Hall seemed ever ready to pour forth a stream of ch.mically pure (which means very wet) water upon our innocent heads. The regu- lar students did not seem to appreciate our agricultural longings, and the quiet hours of the night resounded with the cries of poultry until sleep was a priceless luxury. War was about to be declared, but a cooler second thought showed discretion to be the best policy. We acknowledge that we were fresh and from the rural regions, but just because we were not engineers, biologists or chemists we were treated as badly as Fresh- men. Some of the college men honestly thought that we didn’t know very much, but we did. Organic and inorganic chemistry were mastered in three lectures, and other things with equal rapidity. There actually wasn’t a man in the class who could not answer any question propounded to him. But, alas ! we didn’t get a chance to show ' off. The Y. M. C. A., Dr. and Mrs. Brigham, President and Mrs. Wash- burn and Prof, and Mrs. Card have our sincere thanks for the hospitality they extended to us. It is true our enthusiasm was rather “dampened” upon some of these occasions, but that was due to the sins of our con- ceited members, so we bore it in silence. We made one vital mistake during the course. When we organized we invited three worthy members of the 1900 class to join us as honorary members. It soon became apparent that they meant to “rule the roost,” and, of course, as they were possessed of an iron-clad, hi ass-alloyed as- surance, they made things unpleasant for our ambitious colleagues. “Prof.” T-y-o-r in particular was an especially unique specimen of pure and unadulterated bluff. We are all highly gratified that we have had the honor to listen to his extremely “valuable” remarks, and shall treasure them in our memory as samples of “profoundest wisdom We wish to say to the college men that we really had some very unas- suming, good-natured students in our class. Don’t blame them for the faults of their companions, and in parting remember us with at least some fellow-feeling for the sake of our few virtues. Long live Rhode Island College !

K F 4Q 0£QrAkUt r The season of igoo was a disastrous one for the college team. It is plainly evident that if we expect to win from other teams in our class we must abandon obsolete methods of coaching and exhibit more college spirit. Unless the places on the team are obtained only after fierce com- petition, and kept only while a good game is played, we must expect de- feat. We appeal to the loyal undergraduates of the R. I. C.

THe Lecture Association Earl} ' in October there was a mass meeting held in the chapel for the purpose of discussing the desirability of inaugurating a course of popular lectures at the college. The faculty and some of the students had for a long time felt the need of such lectures, and it only required the guiding spirit of some of the older heads to awaken the same feeling in the mjnds of the rest of the college people. It was decided to form an association for the purpose of conducting such a course, and a committee was appointed to draw up a set of by-laws and nominate officers for the ensuiijg year. On October 8 another meeting was called and the following officers were elected : President, B. J. Cornell ; Secretary, John Wilb j; Treasurer, Miss Merrow; Assistant Treasurer, Miss Steere. Th association is to be known as the Rhode Island College Lecture Association, and aims to bring the better class of lecturers within reach of the! students and their friends. The course during the past season consisted of five lectures on various subjects, and all were well attended by the people of Kingston and vicin- ity, as well as by the students. Everybody was apparently much pleased, and itj is hoped that the association will continue its good work next year. The following lectures were given during the season : , Hezekiait Butterworth : Rhode Island Folk Lore. Lieut. Com. Gardiner C. Sims : Reminiscences of the Spanish War. I Thomas Wentworth Higginson : American Orators and Oratory. Jacob A. Rus: The Battle with the Slum. Henry Austin Clapp : Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice.” Ye Ancient Little Rest Nothing can be more natural, rational or commendable than that the increasing numbers who shall claim the Rhode Island College as their alma mater, however many stepmothers they may be necessitated subse- quently to acknowledge, should insist that among the college annals some account should be found of the locality amid whose surroundings their nourishing mother breathed her first breath, lived her first decade, still lives and intends to live in prolific and vigilant maternity for all coming time. The present writer is glad to assist in answering this demand, his only claim of ability resting on the fact that he was born in said locality four score and odd years ago, and has lived there almost continuously to the present time. The first named important event occurred in the large two-story gambrel-roof house standing on the southwest ' of the four corners whence roads issue to the four quarters of the world. This the writer knows only from hearsay, receiving it, however, as perfectly authentic and reliable. He has no personal recollection of the time or place of his advent into the world, or of the circumstances attending his first joining that “innumerable caravan” which year by year moves on toward “that mysterious realm,” but the acknowledged fact justifies him in com- mencing his story at that point. The house up to a recent period was designated as “the red house on the corner.” For some twenty years past it has been called the “Lucca House.” Madam Lucca, a noted singer of that day, spent a summer there with her retinue of attendants. Her portrait was allowed to remain on condition that her name for the house should remain. Her picture is still there, and no one now speaks or thinks of the house under any o ther name. The Lucca house was built by Elisha Reynolds, grandfather of the late Hon. Elisha R. Potter, Sen., so well known in and out of the state during the first third of the last century. It is still in possession of the family. The house is one of perhaps a dozen of the same style of architecture, built in the old colonial days. Their ample accommodations were needed for the immense families of those times. One-half of the dozen were each equal in space to a three-story house of the same ground area. Of these, three remain in prime order, and with the same care promise to serve as excellent homes for their occupants for another hundred years or more. The fourth and only one of that ancient period now standing is revered for the family name it perpetuates. It is known as the ‘TIelme House. The honored name still lives in Tittle Rest, and we enjoy recall- ing the many who have distinguished it in bygone times until we reach that of Chief Justice James Helme, who was on the bench of the Surpeme Court seven years, up to the year before the revolution. Another of these ancient structures stood well back on the northwest corner, where it describes a quadrant of a circle into the north road. In my early days it had reached a state of melancholy decreptitude, and in the late twenties of the last century the once noble, but then crazy old barrack with all its ungracious vicinage, was swept clean as far west as opposite the Lucca House, and the renovated area soon put on its present appear- ance. But the notable house on the corner had a history. The most in- teresting object associated with it in my boyhood was a little old man dressed in a style quite common then, the trousers and stockings meeting and fastened at the knee. This was Baker Greene, and his gingerbread was in importunate demand all over Washington County and in parts beyond. Jonathan P. Helme, who gave his recollections of still earlier Little Rest many years ago, claimed to hold Baker Greene’s receipt, the most noticeable feature of which was that not a particle of ginger was required. The revolutionary chapter of this old mansion’s history contains the most of interest. At that time it was the residence of Col. Thomas Potter. He was the son-in-law of the Elisha Reynolds already mentioned, and father of the Hon. E. R. Potter, Sen. Col. Potter, like all able-bodied men of that day, was liable to military duty, and was subject to call at any moment in some department of the service. The incorpor- ated company known as the “Kingston Reds” was an active, wideawake body of men who, with the organized militia in general, had much to do in guarding our extended shore from the depredations of the enemy. Such service won his position and title in the militia of Washington County. Colonel Potter entertained General Washington and his staff at his resi- dence when he was on his way back to Newport after its evacuation by THE COURT HOUSE TAVERN the British. No doubt the Colonel accompanied the General and partici- pated in the brilliant reception which awaited him there by the American and French forces. Colonel Potter was put in command of the garrison in the city, probably a small one, for the enemy had got about all they could expect from any part of Rhode Island by that time. Some pleasant traditions have come down to us respecting this brief visit at Colonel Potter’s. One of his daughters in her old age loved to tell the story of her being taken by the General on his knee and enjoying a childish talk with him. No doubt the child remembere 1 more of it than did the Gen- eral. The westernmost object made to disappear from this clarified dis- trict ' of the village was a one-story gambrel-roof house where lived little old Major Lunt, whose barber pole shot well up to the sky from over his door. It was the boast of his life that his razor had traversed the cheeks of the father of his country, whether while in the army or on the occasion of the aforesaid bivouac at Colonel Potter’s, history has neglected to relate With other debris of the earlier colonial period was a dismal looking blacksmith-shop, sonorous with the anvil chorus ; yet, like a gloomy ghost, it vanished with the early light of modern improvement, and with it the worst and about the last of the foul liquor dens against which civilization then and still struggles. It was in 1829 that Asa Potter, Esq.,, with his new wife, daughter of ex-Lieut. Gov. Jeremiah Thurston, possessed and exercised the good taste and ability to trans- form these ancient ruins into the attractive present. We will hasten by the Abel Cottrel house, a plain but respectable struc- ture erected in 1818 in place of an old low building demolished. It stands on the north side of the street, considerably elevated above the sidewalk. The next building which arose in 1827, was the first to develop an ambition for something different from the old gambrel or barn roof, and so a style which may be called the double hip was adopted, which con- sisted in arresting the rafters about half way to the ridge pole, and crown- ing them with a box-like structure on which the hip roof was continued to its finality. This novelty was utterly destructive of the spacious ac- commodations which the good sense of the fathers had secured. But every man and every age to its own architectural fancy. We will proceed on the double quick to other matters. What is now the ell of this house was formerly the main front, and contained the office of a lawyer well known in his day, John Hagadorn, Esq., who had come with his sister and family from Dutchess County, N. Y., and died in 1813. We have now reached that part of the main street of Little Rest which includes the ancient hotel where have been hospitably entertained the makers and administrators of law from 1756 to a recent period. The house seems to be composed of two houses worked into one by some pro- cess about the time the second court house was built for Washington (then King’s County ) and all business pertaining thereto transferred to Little Rest. This was the leading hotel of the village in the bygone years when three were required to accommodate the crowds of intellectual and animal life that swarmed to it on public occasions. There were no railroads to do almost hourly service, and the large barn still standing shows what generous provisions were made for the animal locomotives. It contained a spacious hall in the upper story, east end, for dining and cognate purposes, in which some seventy years ago the whole artillery company of Newport was feasted. I remember no speeches on the occa- sion, but plenty of singing, sentimental and jovial. They had their en- campment in a beautiful meadow a quarter of a mile east of the village. The parade of the company in their brilliant uniforms with waving black plumes half a yard long, led by a fine band, was a rich entertainment to the village and neighbors. But the hall where the soldiers dined and sang has been metamorphosed into a variety of apartments for modern convenience, and feasting and singing are heard there no more. Farewell, venerable hotel, with the life, the wit, the wisdom, the hospitality your walls have shown ; “a word that must be — a word that makes us linger yet, farewell.” Northwest of the premises last mentioned, where the store of the Helme brothers now stands, was once a school house. Imagination may do for us what the camera cannot, in reproducing the picture of the kind of edifice that would have met the educational ambi- tion of those early times. Of one thing we may be well assured ; those who were able to purchase their own education were ambitious for excel- lence in the three R’s — reading, ’riting and ’rithmetic. Some splendid penmanship has come down to us from the ancient records, when there were no public schools and advanced ideas to lead the multitudes into a smattering of everything, and the voluntary aspirants for knowledge aimed at quality rather than quantity. The village people were, of course, much interested in the schools, and one well known citizen liked to visit them and show the young ideas how to shoot. His ponderous form contrasted strongly with the little readers before him. His own massive head dropped now on this shoulder, now on that, while exhorting them to hold up their heads, when reading, in this manner: “You know, my dear children, that them animals what sings always holds their heads up, but them animals what grunts always holds their heads down.” The long block that lines the street till it reaches the recess near the third court house is composed of three distinct structures combined into one. On the east is the dwelling erected in 1802 by John T. Nichols, Sen., whom I remember as a chipper old gentleman, who furnished quiet, not spirituous, entertainment to the public at that end of the house and made saddles and harnesses at the other. His theological views were some- what mixed, for he is said to have replied to some one who ventured to ask him if he was a Christian, “Oh, no, no, no; I ain ' t a Christian; I’m a Quaker.” The three buildings were united into one block for the accom- modation of the Landholders’ Bank, which was chartered in 1818 with Thomas R. Wells as first cashier, who served continuously until his death in 1853. The history of this institution illustrates how vice and virtue have progressed pari passu under the stimulating agencies of the nine- teenth century. Its gold and silver, its bills and securities were to be pro- tected, but the kind of protection then judged sufficient would seem to show that the science of burglary was then in its rudimental state. The vault consisted of an iron cage surrounded and protected by a thick gran- ite encasement, which probably would have required longer time for a burglar to penetrate than his personal safety would allow, but the two thick and thicker iron doors were supposed to be fully secured by three locks invented by the well known deacon “Billy” Stillman, of Westerly, far famed both as a mechanical genius and as an inveterate taker of snuff. But the prudent policy which has always characterized this bank led to the adoption of additional and improved safeguards as fast as mechanical science discovered the means of overcoming them. The chamber above the banking rocm was for many years the office of the well known legal firm of Dixon and Newell, the former represent- ing the firm in Westerly and the latter in Little Rest. It continued in the occupancy of N. F. Dixon, Second, long after the death of both mem- bers of the firm and until his own death. Little Rest in 1776-7, the darkest period of the revolution, acquired the distinction of having two houses for the courts and the migratory legis- lature of the state, the second and third of the four in which Rhode Island has enacted and administered her laws until recently. The second wa built in 1756. It followed the first, built in 1732 on Tower Hill, and was used for about a quarter of a century. Its successor stood on the spot where now stands the residence of the writer of this article. It was de- molished just one hundred years after the erection of number one on Tower Hill. Number three, directly opposite, a much larger building, started with impr oved conveniences, but had undergone many changes for the better, when in the ’90’s of the last century it ceased, after a ser- vice of a hundred and twenty years, all connection with the law, but is still used by the state as a deposit of one of its free libraries, for the care of which and of the building itself the Kingston Library Association has the use of it for all congruous purposes. We would that the past could telephone to the present somewhat of the intellectual struggles those halls have witnessed over questions of disputed jurisdiction of neighboring colonies, the repeated issues of bills of credit, the absorbing anxieties of the approaching revolution, and, at last, the trembling hesitation in view of yielding the supreme sovereignty of this little hand breadth of territory called the state of Rhode Island and Provi- dence Plantations, to the qualified sovereignty of the United States, which it was the last of the thirteen to do. There is an impressive and fascinating interest attached to the names of those eminent men who at various periods have made those venerable walls resound with their forensic eloquence. The names of Marchant, of Burrill, of Brigham, of Greene, of Pearce, of Hazard, of Potter, of Tillinghast, of Cranston, of Updike, of Robinson will live in history, and their spirits often revisit these and other scenes of their earthly labors. Legislation and courts, legal contests and judicial reasoning have been succeeded by college halls, scientific lectures and classroom drills. Instead of sagacious lawyers and judges and a mixed multitude of washed and unwashed jurors, wit- nesses and contestants, we have the intelligent life of the college faculty, and the youthful buoyance of the whole student body. We drop a tear of sad regret over the one ; we hail with great satisfaction the advent of the other. West of court house number three the Kings County jail formerly stood, probably where the college road now opens. Rhode Island at an early period had issued orders to Kings County to build a cage, what we now call a prison, for the confinement of offenders. The expense of such a building could not have been a burden, for its dimensions were ordered to be only ten by twelve feet. But the order was not carried out for some years. Probably the people of the south county recoiled sensitively from the project of caging their fellow men as they would a fox, a panther or a bear. Hence orders were given that disturbers of the peace should be sent to Newport and there confined. But at length Little Rest had a cage to facilitate the purposes of justice, as administered in court houses numbers two and three, standing somewhere between number three and Mrs. French’s house. This was abandoned and jail number two was built on the spot where the present jail number three now stands. Jail number two of Little Rest, the same as number three of Kings County, was a weak affair, but judged to be strong enough for the criminal ten- dencies of the times. It consisted of four or five dungeons, about 6 by 8 feet, at the south end of the building, and a corridor some five feet wide running along these from east to west, with an iron-grated window at each end. With the exception of these iron bars the entire building was of wood. The balance of the building contained sufficient accommoda- tions for the turnkey and his family. It was from one of these “cages” that Mount was taken to be hanged at the foot of Little Rest hill on the west. Through his last night he had the Hon. Elisha R. Potter, Sen., for a companion. He had been counsel for the condemned man, and after doing all that man could do to save his client, when death was the penalty for much smaller crimes than now, his sympathetic nature drew him to the condemned man ' s side to the last. “The bravest are the tenderest.” In 1856 this weak, old wooden cage gave place to the present well- constructed prison, from which it would be difficult for the most accom- plished rogue to escape. The keeper’s residence built continguous with the jail, is the work of John R. Eldred, done as thoroughly and faithfully as his father and three brothers always did their work. We must by no means fail to pay our respects to the venerable old French house, repaired and put in its present shape in 1792 on the basis of one or more buildings that had stood on the same ground, so long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary thereto. Some of the white oak materials of the Little Rest jail, number one, were brought into the remodelled edifice, and are still shown as objects of interest ; and here it may be said that in the house of the present writer are materials taken from the court house, number two, which to all appearances may be sound a thousand years hence. The patriarch of the Little Rest branch of the French family was Gen. Cyrus French, who came from Grafton, Mass. He was a lawyer by profession, and with his legal skill he brought some new, practical methods of working the contumacious material so THE FRENCH HOUSE LUCCA HOUSE abundant on Little Rest Hill and elsewhere in New England. These were simply splitting by wedges, which is only one instance of the ease with which being and beings of the most unpromising nature can be managed if one but knows how. Gen. French .managed to secure the fine lawn in front of his house and adorned it with trees whose mature age now sup- plies grateful shade, thus rendering the place a delightful resort for the many who seek and enjoy the hospitality of the family. We must speak more particularly of William French, a son of the patriarch. He was from early life until his death a conspicuous personage in the village. For many years he carried on the hatters’ business in the shop then standing on the southwest corner of the building as it now is. Many a tall, bell- crowned beaver has gone out of his shop to adorn the head of the dandies of his day, and a multitude of common felt hats for ordinary people. He was a man of naturally abundant resources of mind and was never at a loss how to meet an emergency. He had no embarrassing attachments to old customs and ideas, and was always on the watch for new and im- proved methods. When the manufacture of hats ceased to be profitable he resorted at once and vigorously to cultivation of his lands and sought and seized upon the instruction of agricultural science and experience with avidity. Were he now living he would be an enthusiastic friend of the R. I. College and an eager recipient of its helpful instruction. Mr. French was identified with every movement for the promotion of human welfare, and was prominent in the financial operations of the village. He was the active member of a company that conducted a shoe manufactory for some years. He was always in advance of public sentiment in matters of reform, and he sought to create a wholesome public sentiment instead of stupidly waiting for public sentiment to shame or drive him into reform movements. He was active in religious and aducational movements and wide awake to all the happenings of religious, social and political life, and always on all occasions himself and no other. He had, without knowing it, a certain poetic quality which would well up on all occasions. He felt a strong interest in the rights of woman in those times when suffrage had not become so prominent as one of the rights claimed for them. He thought the church was too indifferent to the possibilities of female in- fluence. A good sister having in her last sickness ordered a communion table for the church — the same now standing under the pulpit — his feel- ings got the better of him while offering prayer in a public meeting, and with sobs he prayed that the church might remember that “alabaster box of ointment under the pulpit.” THE SOUTH ROAD The only church edifice in the village was built in 1820 for the use of the Congregational Society, organized at the same time. It stands on land donated for the purpose by the Hon. E. R. Potter. Sen. The same lot had many years before been given for a “Six-Principle” Baptist church by a previous owner, but it was never used for this purpose. The first deed set forth definitely the creed of that society, quoting chapter and verse for its authority. It the winter of 1856 and ' 57 a heavy gale overturned the steeple. All from above the bell room was speedily rebuilt in its original form, but with much better mechanical judgment by the Maxson firm, of Westerly. A new and heavier bell was placed in the tower at the same time. From 1820 there have been eight pastorates of two or sixteen years continuous, besides supplies for shorter periods. The lighting apparatus has progressed from lamp and tallow candle, which the faithful carried to and fro to the services, to the present system. The music has varied from the unorganized voluntary congregational singing led by a preceptor of a gallery choir led or accompanied bv a bass viol, violin, flute, reed organ, cornet ; in fact almost everything but afi ' e or Jew’s harp, until the pipe organ was reached, of which there have been three in succession, the last of which was donated by Herbert J. Wells. For this organ an addi- tion of twenty feet, including an organ loft and chapel, was built in 1899. We close our views of Lfttle Rest with a brief notice of the mansion where lived and died the Hon. Elisha Reynolds Potter. Sen., built in 1809, the year before his marriage to his second wife, who was a descendant of the Huguenot family, LeMoine, afterwards Maunezy, a d in ' he year of his second term in Congress, where he remained until 181 It is a large house facing the east, wi ' h a piazza on the front and rear, from the latter of which the owner could survev his landed estate, reach- ing over a mile west to the Chepuxet River. The surrounding grounds have been the subject of constant improvement under the tasteful direc- tion of various members of the familv. The names of E. R. Potter, Senior and Junior, are too well known in the state, that was the object of their life-long services, to call for further notice here. Most of what has been said in these pages relates to the village of Little Rest, which, by the request of the inhabitants in 1826, and bv action of the Postoffice Department in Washington, became the village of Kingston. Note: The above historical sketch is an extract from an article written by the Rev. J. Hagadorn Wells, who was horn in Kingston, R. I., January 28th, 1S17, and graduated from Amherst College in 1837. He was the principal of the “Latin School” from 1856 to 1862. At that date he assumed the pastorate of the Congregational Church of the village, continuing in charge until 1877. Since that time he has followed literary and scholastic pursuits. Mr. Wells has always been a staunch friend of the college, especially in the stormy days of its foundation, and the Editorial Board take this occasion to express their appreciation of his efforts in their behalf.

I am extremely sorry that you have been so suc- cessful, for 1 have done all in ‘my power to prevent it. I have conferred with the Farm Manager about it; he, you know, has more to do with the management and general oversight of the college than the President himself, lie says that it is outrageous to have issued such a vile, scurril- ous third-rate bunch of waste paper as that nonsensical Grist, and as for selling it at sixty cents — Lord save us from such an ignominious good- for-nothing set of idiots as the members of that Grist Hoard. Now when a man with the sagacity and ability of the Farm Manager makes a state- ment like that it is so; no appeal. He is a genius in his own way, and he will have his own way in spite of a hundred Junior classes. I am privileged, too, to put in my own modest appeal. I command your respect in every way. Not a flaw can you find, cither in my intellect or my attainments. My record in mathematics, German and physics is unparalleled. I stand as a model to all future classes, and 1 have been told by many that I am a very rare young man.

Come, give me a pie, dear Nattie, A mince or apple will do, That will calm this restless feeling At least for an hour or two. And a bottle of Jamaica ginger, In case of trouble to-night, For pie and potato salad Don’t always mix just right. Then back to my room I wander Through the mist and the falling rain, And four or five hours later Swear never to do it again. Proverbs “He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is simple; teach him.” (Freshman.) “He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool ; avoid him.” (Sophomore.)

Lieutenant Sm-h’s Address to the Soldiers at the Battle of the College Pin, April 28, 1901 Citizens and fellow-trudgers on the macadam road toward Kingston Village ! ! ! In the performance of my duty regarding this all-pervading question, I wish to state emphatically that I am not prejudiced. “Jus because she made those goo-goo eyes” does not necessarily signify thr . their magnetism has so enchanted me that I can no longer lead my forces on the right trail toward justice. If the kids wear the pins, take them off ; if the kids injure our dignity, punish them; but if the second year Prep girls wish pins, let them have them! I stand up for justice, and you recognize in me the coming cutter of coagulated fluidity, so don’t lower the boiling point too much or an ebbulitive change of phase may spon- taneously result. Woe to me that there are no puddles wherein I might lay my coat that their angelic feet might pass through undampened ; but such is inexplic- able Fate ! Alas ! Ceres Soliloquy “Strange ! Yet have I seen this place before. It seemeth to me famil- iar. Ah ! I have it ! Methought I knew the marks when first I set my foot upon the spot. It is the R. I. College. This is the place where my philosophy is taught ; I must away to find the numerous worshippers at my shrine. They will be found in the open air, in the fields. Yet all seems strangely quiet, as if the busy humming of the bees were stilled. Yet why is this ? Alas ! I must have slept, and while I dreamed strange gods have ousted me. Hark ! is not that the clang of anvils which always attends the worship of Vulcan? Out upon thee, thou short-limbed son of Jupiter!

The chimney askew, a window pane out, Coal, glass and furniture scattered about, And you have a plain picture in your mind Of the quaint old Annex you will find. You knock on the door, go in the dark hall, Then turn to your left, when over you fall, Tor a wheel and some barrels, a dozen or more, Fill the vestibule clear to the drawing-room door. You pick yourself up and continue your way, Go in the apartment, sit down and then stay. A square, small, low, dingy, disorderly box, With fixings and furniture scattered in flocks. Some beds, a few tables, a mirror, a chair, Wood, clothes and pie plates, smoke blueing the air. In endless confusion here rage a foot deep, A voice buried in scuffle, sounds faint like a peep. Silence and study but rarely are found. But racket and missiles here greatly abound. Of all places on earth this indeed is the one, The abode of unending, unlimited fun. All the schemes here concocted would fill up a book, Raising the devil, by hook or by crook. One night as I sat there in deep, pensive mood, My last cent departed to buy the boys’ food, And pondering sorrowfully over my purse, I wrote out the following beautiful verse : Sweet Annex ! Dwelling of the sleepless night ! Thy walls show marks of many a fight, When Charley and Bill have rolled on the floor And mixed up the cottage from chimney to door, In the very best scraps that ever were had, One thousand in number, and never once mad. If you value your life for more than a pottage Don’t stay over night in the little cottage ; They tip the beds over, heat the stove till it melts, Shoot a gun off at midnight, kick your back full of welts ; They keep two alarm clocks that shriek all the night, And about every hour Fred and Bill have a fight. Then the din and the yells and the clocks and the racket Deeply joggle your head and very near crack it; You don’t sleep a wink, for the noise keeps a-going, And soon are the expletives rapidly flowing. At three in the morn the climax draws nigh, Bed reversed on the floor and a boot in your eye. You see it approaching and quick comes your breath, With awe you are staring, excited to death ! And bang! (At this point the poet had his head broken by a piece of chair and this masterpiece had to remain unconcluded. — Editor.) The vSenior’s Lament This dreary, dreary thesis work Has only just begun. My lasting prayer from now shall be : “Oh, when will it be done?” From early morn till late at night To reference shelves I run, Trying to catch some transient thought For a work that ne’er is done. O give me patience, give me grit. That I may labor on, And may I never say I’ll quit Before the work is done. £? e Kids Have there any young Preps got mixed with the boys? If they have, kick them out without making a noise. Hang the six-year course and that big fellow’s might ; Old Time is a liar, we’re four classes to-night. Four classes, four classes, who says we are more? He’s crazy, young jackanapes, please show him the door. Four classes of twenty? Yes! two, if we please, We’ll show the young scrubs if they dare us to tease. They’ve a trick, these young preppies, you may have been told, Of talking to Freshmen in tones light and bold; That boy we call Adams, he thinks he’s hot stuff, But one of the Faculty says he’s a muff. And then there is Schofield — that’s the one on the right ; As a printer’s “devil” he’s supposed to be bright. He plays on the ball team, and oh me ! oh my ! I really don’t think he could catch a pop flv. That boy with the grave, biological face Is making an effort to capture first base. Too bad he’s a Prep., for he carries a pin, And to stop him would be an unpardonable sin. And there’s a nice youngster of excellent pith ; Fate tried to conceal him by calling him Smith. But he shouted the signals 12, 15 and 3, Plays quarter, “from Providence quite a man, don’t you see You hear Donath laughing; you think he’s all fun. Pie is until Tyler the scene comes upon. Then he studies so hard, makes his old ' .able c- ' c ' • Goes to bed then at twelve with a pain in his back. Yes, they’re boys, always ready for cracking old jokes, Always fresh and green and easy to hoax. My dear, homesick children, stop making that noise, Or you’ll never become like your seniors, “The Bovs.” IN MEMORIAM The spirit has fled, alas! ’tis the truth, Gone, ne ' er to return to the scenes of our youth. It has left us to mourn o’er the days th at are past; Our hopes and ambitions to despair have been dashed. Once we had spirit enough and to spare, In all our athletics each delighted to share. Yet now it is gone, we see it no more ; Our glory’s departed, our vict’ries are o’er. O spirit, return to this college again, We’ll nourish thee tenderly, cause thee no pain, And to our successors encouragement give To love Alma Mater as long as they live. The Fire About seven o’clock in the morning on the ninth of January, just as the early risers were seating themselves at the breakfast table, the col- lege fire-alarm stayed all operations of satisfying the inner man and brought everyone out of the Boarding Hall in hot haste. It did not take long to discover that the trouble was at the horse barn, as the smoke was already pouring from the cupola and people could be seen running from all directions. The hose-cart was soon at hand, and lines of hose were laid from the hydrant in front of the barn, and two streams of water placed to the best advantage. The barn was unfortunately so arranged that the only way to the part of the hay mow where the fire was raging was to crawl over about fifty feet of hay and around two corners. It was consequently impossible to get a stream directly on the flame except by cutting through the roof. As this would tend to furnish a draught for the flames, it was deemed advisable to expend all energies in confin- ing the flames to one part of the structure and in protecting the adjoining buildings. This plan succeeded so well that the whole of the east and west wings were preserved, and before nine o’clock the fire was under complete control. All of the horses, wagons and other movable property were saved, and great credit is due to the student fire department for the efficient manner in which they conducted themselves. As Heard in the Lab, “Yes, Cl-rn-r went down with Burgess.” “Now. girls, don’t you think — ’’ “Oh, Miss Rodman, is there a pond — ” “Bite, ye little fish.” “Say, Edith, I don’t know a thing — ” (Tall professional in the back- ground) “The truth for once.” “No, that apparatus is for di-hydro-para- ethoxv-Clarkine ; you can’t have it, Kent. (Great excitement) “What, out of that bottle ! Why, that’s benzene ; didn’t you know better, Duffy?” “Noaw, Miss Cooke, yeow ain’t going ter due it.” “I think you boys are all fools.” (Voice heard in the distance) “-No, that is not scientific never accept things without mathematical (a whisper) “Cheese it. the cop,” and all is still. Class Poem You may say what you like. You may think that you please, It will make little difference to us ; We’re the first of the new And before we get through We intend to make something buzz. As a class we are thin, Yet we all make a din. Each in his line or vocation ; We won’t have co-eds, As they’re bad for the heads. And queer us in examination. We have a man in our class And he is wond’rous wise, For when he does not know a thing Bluff does that fact disguise. ADVERTISEMENTS T he Mut ual Life Insurance Co OF MEW YORIC RICHARD A..

The Chatelaine Watches that sell as low as ten dollars are beautiful in new enamel designs.
