WARREN GODDARD, JR. To write the biography of a man like Mr. Goddard is like building a house with small stones ; one can find many small things, but few large ones. Who would have thought that innocent Warren Goddard of two years ago could become the Warren Goddard of today, who seems to walk about the campus in an unsettled state of mind? His recent passion for love, which has been wonderfully developed within the last year, must not be left unmentioned. Some of his ideas are certainly peculiar; he is bitterly opposed to the use of tobacco, but will sit for hours in a smoky room and breathe it, and say he enjoys the smell of it. He has preached continually about honesty (both in Y. M. C. A. meet- ings and outside) but behold, on February 26th we find he has stolen a pocket full of crackers ; on March 3d, a pocket full of cake ; on March 14, a whole plate of gingerbread, and on the 20th, an entire supper. After these feasts his conscience proves troublesome, but this may be merely an attack of indigestion. He of course, like all Y. M. C. A. presidents, disapproves of all strong language, but if you could hear a few of Mr. Goddard’s pet expressions, especially those uttered in his sleep, they would certainly amuse you, and sometimes fill you with awe. RAYMOND WARREN KENT. A volume would be inadequate to honestly show the psychological steps in the development of this wonder; how from the bashful and unso- phisticated youth from Woonsocket he has become the incorrigible, insuper- able and consummate chemical fiend from the Pier. Suffice it to enumer- ate only a few of his virtues: an insatiate craze for chemistry, a great affinity for the Watson House, unbounded interest in German, an inordinate love for drill and fondness for the pipe. Are not these the qualities of a genius? Do not these point to a bright future? Mark this man, for the end of this man is peace (?) WILLARD MUNROE HOXSIE. He is a jolly good fellow but full of all sorts of tricks. You never know what he is going to do next. He has changed wonderfully since his en- trance to college, undoubtedly because of the good influence of his worthy classmates. His studious example might be profitably copied by the Freshies and other lower classmen who spend their evenings in fooling and riotous living. The writer has seen him look over (or overlook) at least two hundred pages of history in ten minutes, swallowing the dates as if he really enjoyed them. It is well known that last year he spent much of his time at Wakefield, but, lo and behold ! he hasn’t been down at all this year (except during vacations).

His pleasures, too, are different from those chosen by most fellows, for he enjoys nothing better than to cut up cats and tend the Watson House fire; and it is even rumored that for the last named pleasure he paid a certain sum rather than have it go to another aspirant. He was very faithful in this occu- pation, going down to look after it just before breakfast every morning and also before, and sometimes after dinner and supper. He is one of those fellows who never have an appetite, but nevertheless we all mean to be on hand as soon as he is if there is to be a spread in one of the rooms. He likes to go skating evenings, but on one or two occasions was so absent-minded as to leave his skates at home, and so he had to sit on the bank and watch the others skate. But if I remember rightly, someone took pity on him and sat down beside him to keep him from being lonesome. You all doubtless know by this time who this youth is, but for those who are not acquainted with him I will say that he is Willard Munroe Hoxsie. usually called “Bill.” LAURA MARION COOKE. “She looks as clear as morning roses newly washed with dew.” Surely this can apply to n6 other than Laura Marion Cooke. “The flower of meek- nees on a stem of grace,” a firm believer that “slow and steady” wins the race. When she first entered these halls of learning she was a very studious young maiden and her books were her constant and loved companions. Now, her affections are divided. She has recently shown, however, a decided inter- est in the biological course. Can it be that she contemplates entering the medi- cal profession ? She excels as a waitress. Laura aspires to be an early riser for the melodious tones of her alarm clock break the stillness of the early morn- ing, though they seldom disturb her slumbers. When she appears after her night’s rest, her first words are, “Girls, did my alarm clock go off?” If the answer is “yes,” she is quite satisfied. Laura possesses a peculiarly quiet and affectionate nature, and we may safely predict that our member from Wakefield will not “waste her sweetness on the desert air.” CHARLES ELY WHITMORE. It is a difficult and tedious task to attempt to portray fully the character of this wonderful genius from Holyoke. Very little is known of his former life, but judging from that he now leads, it must have been profitably spent. To him, life is a serious matter; one would think from his usually grave face that the question ever before him was, “Is life worth living?” Of a studious nature, he prefers the solitude of his own room to the company of his more sociable classmates ; never taking part in any of their foolhardy enterprises. One of his favorite mottoes is, “Forgive and forget.” An example of his forgiving qualities was shown last spring. Some person or persons appropriated part of his belongings, and when the “naughty nine” took up arms in his behalf, he quickly resented it.
