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.
