Knowing well the refractive power of the common prism on solar light, we have placed this PRISM, though we trust it is not so fragile as one of glass, in the beam of undergraduate life at the Maine Static College, and leave our readers to judge how well it has broken its rays into their component colors.

T HE death of Professor Walter Balentine is the only event of its kind in the history of the Maine State College. Eor the first time in more than a quarter of a century have the members of this Faculty experienced the loss of an associate. This is a somewhat unusual record.—one which has now been broken with a suddenness that for a time almost benumbs the sense of loss. It is not, however, to make mention of a rare occurrence or to perform a mere act of courtesy, that this sketch is attempted, but rather that on these pages, in the midst of symbols which speak of the scene of Professor Balentine's labors and of his co-workers who are left behind. Friendship may be given a most fitting opportunity to inscribe words of appreciation. Professor Iialentine. like so many other men who are doing the world's work, began life on the farm, and like so many other farmers' sons he was ambitious to pass beyond the ordinary experiences and limita- tions of country life and fit himself to take a recognized place among his fellows. To this end he became a student in the Waterville Classical Institute, and later entered the Maine State College, graduating in 1 74. in the third class. He did not select a technical course of study, but preferred to devote himself to mathematics and the general sciences. He gave such special attention to chemistry as the equipment of the College then admitted and some of his fellow students can certainly recall that under somewhat discouraging circumstances he voluntarily spent many extra hours in the laboratory in order to attain proficiency in that branch. Let this remind the undergraduate of to-day that personal 15 effort rather than the abundance of facilities is the prime factor in a student’s success, and that there is no promise � f great attainment to him who fails to cultivate the true spirit of the scholar, and contents himself with the mere skeleton of enforced duties. W hen in College, Professor Balentiue was popular among his fellows and those days of intimate association saw the beginning of friendships which the later years of busy life have only served to broaden and deepen. He did not escape the frequent college nickname, which is sometimes given in unkindness but more often savors of good will or even affection, and so in his circle of friends he was known as “ Horace.” Though quiet in manner, he was not a stranger to those occasions when college fun is rampant, but such diversions from the monotony of college duties he always tempered with discretion, and both the “boys” and the faculty felt that he could be trusted to maintain the honor of the student body and the good reputation of the institution. Professor Balentiue was the first graduate of the College to connect himself with experiment station work, and was also a meml er of the first staff of the first Experiment Station established in America. This came about from the fact that the Director of this Station. Dr. V. O. Atwater, was professor of chemistry in the Maine State College in 1X74. and Pro- fessor Balentiue. who was one of his pupils, was invited later to take up the double relation of post graduate student in W esleyan I'niversity and assistant in the Experiment Station located there. This relation was continued for two years, interrupted for four months by teaching in Lawrence I'niversity, Kansas, when lie went to Germany, then the Mecca of students of Agricultural Chemistry, for further study. There, one year's training chiefly in organic chemistry, under Professor Limp- richt of Greifswald. and another year’s work with Dr. Maerckerof Halle, both as student and as assistant in the laboratory of the Halle Experi- ment Station, rounded out an already quite extended preparation for the work of the teacher or investigator. This large expenditure of time and effort which he gave to preparation for a subsequent field of labor is. justified by what he accomplished. 16 With the exception of a year’s work as assistant chemist in the t’nited States Department of Agriculture, during the investigation « : certain sugar problems which the chief chemist. Dr. Peter Collier, was then studying. Professor Valentine’s life, after his return from (iermanv in 1880, was spent as professor of Agriculture at his Alma Mater. The record of these fourteen years of faithful and valuable service is written in tile development of the College during that time, for as a member of the faculty, as the head of an important department of instruction and in the public relations which lie sustained through his position in the College and his consequent membership of the Board of Agriculture. Professor Balentine brought to his duties a fund of information and a soundness of judgment that were always felt in the direction of substantial progress. As an instructor of young men he was popular and successful. In his public utterances and in his work as an investigator he was conservative. He never sought to win public favor or professional notorielv by sensa- tional statements, or through conclusions not supported by sufficient data. As a counselor he was especially strong, for he was able to hold himself to cool and unbiased judgment. It would seem like fulsome eulogy to recount here ali the attributes of mind and heart which endeared this man to those who were liis most intimate associates, and why should this be done? A more enduring record has been made. Friendship and Love have written all these things in living volumes,—the hearts of those that mourn. There, sacredly guarded by unfailing Memory, these inscriptions shall remain as hid treasures until soul is revealed to soul in that clearer light which shines beyond Death’s portal. “ 'riic miml of the scholar, il you would have it large ami liberal, should come in contact with other minds. It is better that his armor should be somewhat bruised by rude encounters, even, than hang forever rusting on the wall. —I.ongfcUoxe: Hyperion. Ilk. , C i. s. 18 'historical ketch ef j Uioe J tate © far back as 1 X22—just two years after the admission of Maine into the I’nion—an effort was made to provide for the liberal education of the non-professional classes.—the farmers, the sailors, the mechanics, and others engaged in industrial pursuits. This effort resulted in the establishment at Gardiner of an institution known as the Gardiner Lyceum, over which Dr. Kzekiel Holmes, afterward editor of the Maine 'tinner, was called to preside. For a time the school was fairly successful and received from the State an annual appropriation of SI.000; but when this aid was finally withheld the school died. The public was not ready for an institution of the kind. The idea of industrial education, however, did not die. Other and similar experiments were made, notably one at Kent's Hill, where the attempt was made to combine shop-work along with an academic course, in order that students might pay a portion of their expenses by their manual skill. This experiment, like its predecessor, was in most respects a failure: but it served to keep the idea of industrial education from being wholly forgotten. Meanwhile other states had been at work on the same problem. The call for scientific training was becoming more emphatic. In response to the demand the Rensalaer Polytechnic Institute was established in 1824. the Sheffield Scientific School in 1 S4( . the Lawrence Scientific School in 1x47, and the Chandler Scientific School in lx. � l. In 1 .V Ohio established the first agricultural college in America ; Michigan followed in 18. � 7, and Pennsylvania and Iowa in 1S. ! . After many years of persistent labor, the Hon. Justin S. Morrill of Vermont succeeded in 1862 in getting a bill through Congress granting 1� to each state 30,000 acres of land for each of its senators and representa- tives then in Congress, for the purpose of establishing colleges to pro- mote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes. This grant made industrial education a possibility. Maine promptly accepted the 210,000 acres to which she was entitled under the act, and determined to establish her college. But the State acted with no unwise haste. It was no light task which it had undertaken. Initial mistakes might mean final ruin : and caution was necessary. Perplex- ing questions at once arose : What should be the nature of the new college? Should it be independent, or should it be a department of some already existing institution? Where should it be located? There was much diversity of opinion. The legislatures of 1863 and 1864 met and adjourned without reaching any definite conclusion. In the mean- time Bowdoin and Waterville made propositions to take the funds and carry out the provisions of the Land-Grant Act and thus relieve the State of any further anxiety about the matter. Bowdoin proposed to furnish a building similar to that of the Medical School, a gymnasium, a drill ground, an experimental farm, give the students a year’s train- ing, reward them with a certificate of proficiency, and turn them out into the world. Waterville presented two widely differing plans. By the first she proposed to take the funds, found two additional professor- ships. and give instruction free of tuition to a limited number of students in certain studies allied to agriculture. By the second she proposed to use seventy-five per cent, of the money in establishing three professorships—chemistr at Bowdoin, engineering at Waterville, and agricultural zoology and veterinary science at Bates. The remaining twenty-five per cent, was to be used for experimenting and in payment for lectures to be given in turn at the three colleges. Neither of the plans met with popular favor. The public demanded an independent institution. The legislature of I860 appointed a board of trustees—one from each county—to carry out the will of the people. The first meeting of the board was held on April 25th of the same year. 20 at which Hannibal Hamlin was chosen president, S. L. Good ale, clerk, and Phineas Barnes, treasurer. One of the first questions which the trustees had to settle was that of location. Topsham, Orono, and other towns had made bids for it. At once dissensions arose, and when Orono was finally chosen by a vote of eight to seven, the board went to pieces. A new board, seven in number, was at once appointed, and they went to work with a will. Difficulties beset them from the outset, not the least of which was ignorance of what ought to be done. In the language of one member of the body “not a man of them was qualified either by thought or study to carry out the work they had undertaken.“ The task was difficult. They were to provide a new type of college. There were none of its kind old enough or successful enough to serve as models, and hence the trustees must act, in some measure, as pioneers in a new scheme of education. In 1S( .” they made their first visit to the site of the future college. They found an excellent farm on which were two sets of buildings which could be repaired and made serviceable. These were put in good condition and were used for several years by the first pro- fessor and the farm superintendent. Plans for college grounds and buildings must be made, and Mr. F. L. Olmstead. the eminent land- scape gardener, was called upon for assistance. The plan which he submitted was elaborate, but was not adopted. It would have made the new institution virtually a military academy. Finally it was decided to erect a wooden building to begin with, and the old Wingate Hall was the result. This contained eighteen large, light, and airy rooms and would furnish accommodations for a limited number of students. Preparations were also made to erect other buildings as soon as they should be needed, and in 1S( 8 the Chemical Laboratory was built. Oak Hall and the boarding house followed in 1870. in 1S68 the trustees organized a Faculty, and the institution was open for the reception of students. On the 21st of September twelve young men passed the entrance examination, were admitted, and the Maine State College began its educational history. 21 The year lsiHi was one � t embarrassment t the College. Disputes had arisen between the State and the town of Orono concerning the title t the land which had been presented to the State by the towns of Orono and )ld Town as the site of the College. In consequence of the dispute no part « f the money appropriated by the legislature could be used, and work on the buildings was delayed one year. In 1 70 the legislature, which had hitherto treated the struggling institution rather coldly, granted to it an appropriation � l S” 0,(HM). The town of Orono con- veyed to the State a clear title to the land in dispute, and the work of construction and improvement was resumed and vigorously carried on. The first catalogue of the institution issued during January of this year —sixteen months after the admission of the first class—showed an attendance of twenty-three students instructed by a Faculty made up as follows: Merrill C. Fcrnald. M. A.. Acting-President and Professor of Mathematics and Physics: Samuel Johnson. M. A.. Farm Superinten- dent and Instructor in Agriculture: Stephen F. Peck ham. M. A., Professor of Chemistry: Calvin Cutter. M. I)., Lecturer on Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene: Corydon 15. I,akin. Instructor in Book keeping. In 1 71. owing to differences of opinion between the trustees and Professor Peekham and Mr. Swift of the Faculty, the latter gentle- men severed their connection with the College. In consequence of this the trustees completely reorganized the Faculty, and Acting-President M. C. Fern Id desiring to lie relieved from executive duties, the Rev. Charles F. Allen, M. A., a man of genial temper, great ability, and high scholarship, was elected to the presidency. The period that intervened between 1 71 and 18 0 was one of quiet development and prosperity. The number of students increased: the courses f study were improved; facilities for instruction were enlarged; and public sentiment, though fluctuating, was, on the whole, slowly changing in favor of the College. In l 7fi the Russian system of shop instruction was adopted, and consequently the course in Mechani- cal Kngineering became much more efficient. In l 7b, after eight years of faithful and successful service, I)r. Allen resigned the presi- o deucy of the College in order to return to the ministry, and Professor M. C. Fernald was elected to fill the vacancy. In 1SS:{ the facilities lor instruction were largely increased by the erection of Machinery Hall for the use of the department of Mechanical Kngineering. The year ISSfi is memorable in the annals of the College because of the severe misfortune which befell it in the loss of its fine herd ol thoroughbred cattle. Fifty animals were ordered to he killed because they were found to be infected with tuberculosis. Naturally the Col- lege came in for much unjust criticism, it enemies seizing upon this pretext for making a violent attack upon the management of the institu tion. Its friends, however, rallied to its support, and the College finally came out of the ordeal with but little injury. The year brought one piece of good fortune. Hy the will of Kx Governor Coburn of Skowhe gan, who died early in l .r . the College was to receive Sion,non from hi estate. Certain of the residuary heirs contested the validity of the will, and it looked at one time ns though the testator’s wishes would be defeated. The courts, however, finally decided the contest in favor of the College, and we find President Fernald in 1 r planning for the profitable investment of the fund. For many years the various departments of the College had been cramped for want of room. The Trustees and the Faculty had repeatedly urged the legislature to grant the necessary funds for the construction of a building for the use of the departments of Agriculture and Natural History, and to adequately house the small but growing library. Finally, in 1 7. a generous appropriation was made for the purpose, and work was begun on the building in the following spring. In 1 it was com- pleted and fittingly named Coburn Hall in honor of one of the College’s most faithful friends and generous benefactors. In the same year (1 7 � . in consequence of the passage by Congress of the so-called Hatch Hill, the Trustees of the old State Experiment Station transferred the property of the Station to the College, and the new Kxperiment Station, supported by national funds, became incorporated with the College as a department of investigation. 23 In lx'.io the institution met with a second misfortune in the loss by fire of the old Wingate Hall, the first college building erected on the Campus. The legislature of l-MM. however, made an adequate appropri- ation to replace it. and the new Wingate Hall, one of the finest college buildings in the State, was the result. In May, l.x‘)2. President Fernald, after twenty-four years of whole- souled devotion to the interests of the College, on account of failing health tendered his resignation as President, to take effect July 1, 1803. The Trustees accepted it with much regret and elected Mr. A. W. Harris of Washington. I). C.. formerly of the Faculty of Wesleyan University, to fill the place. President Harris entered upon his duties with the beginning of the fall term. In the latter part of February of the present year, occurred the death of Professor Walter Balentine, head of the department of Agriculture. This was the first time in the history of the College that death had broken the ranks of the Faculty. Professor Balentine’s death was a severe loss to the institution with which he had been so long connected and which he had served so well. •24 Cbc Classes ENIorf- 'V s ... • f T was a hot day in August. 1KJI0. that our present Seniors, 1)4. were enrolled as Freshmen. Their number was small but destined yet to be smaller, for before the year had closed, three had dropped out. One. Fernald. being elected to till a chair as assistant botanist in Harvard, the other two, Blagdon and Bradford, were called to “that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller returns.” These were all young men of promise and greatly missed by their classmates. ‘'.� 1 took in good part her shower baths, round-ups. and all those minor details that make one's first year at College so pleasant, and because of their non-resist- ance. impositions were heaped upon them. The Faculty, appreciating all this, gave a few of ’DTs members a leave of absence for their kindly attention. After this, our worthies were beaten at base ball and without a murmur furnished the peanuts. The rest of the year was uneventful, being well filled with good work and hard study, and the good record in ranks at the close of the term amply repaid them. ‘U4 as ideal Sophomores, raved and howled, making night hideous with their clamorous tongues, and by the tumult one was led to believe that they had been reenforced by new members, but in a fortnight’s time they wearied with following in the beaten patli of their predecessors, and having claimed the peanut game of ball from the Freshmen, they were 27 happy, but not satisfied. Then flag hanging came in vogue; they were valiant and brave, but alas, too few to withstand ll.Vs strength and endur- ance; but revenge is sweet, and the hats of the Freshmen were taken and hidden safely till a more convenient season. Many more deeds of mis- chief and daring did ’!M do while Sophs., but having given a few illus- trations we will pass swiftly over the intervening months until Ivy day. This was a decided success and the parts were very well rendered ; after- ward in the prize declamation they gained fame as orators. In the following fall they were Juniors and kept a fatherly eye on the Freshmen to see that no harm should befall them. At the game of base ball they endeavored to keep up the spirits of their proteges by applauding and blowing tin horns as long as they were able. This year passed as the others, making no change in their numbers, but they became perhaps more sedate and severe. At Commencement, their parts were well rendered: but as Seniors they are not so sedate as their wont, and even played a game of foot ball with the Juniors on the muddiest day of the autumn, chasing the pig skin here and there through the mire, and becoming themselves like the ground, absorbing the mud and water. Neither side scored: they struggled and ran in vain; the honors were even. Hut in June they will leave us. and all the pleasant routine of College work, to go out into the world to fight life's battles. May they fill every position with honor to themselves and credit to the old Maine State. Oft in their successful careers may they look back with pleasure on those never-to-be-forgotten college days.

Bum ball, Jr. 2!I JwJISTORIAXS often have great difficulty in collecting the necessary data with which to complete their work, hut the historian of 0.� encounters no such difficulties. Many and noble have been the deeds accomplished by this class since the beginning of its college career. Ever since the advent of the class on the campus they have been characterized by an air of determination which had for a time a quieting effect on ‘J4 ; but finally with a somewhat unexpected burst of courage the Sophomores attempted to bring them into subjection and the battle that ensued is a long-to-be-remcinbered event to those who witnessed or participated in it. As Sophomores, it can be said without hesitation, that '95 did her duty to the Freshmen, not only in eating their peanuts, but also in initiat- ing them into the mvsteries of the shower bath. etc. Ivv Dav and the 80 Sophomore Declamations, coming as they did near the close of the year, were fitting events to crown the record the class had already made. The stand of ’9. � in College enterprises is a very creditable one. Since the beginning of the Sophomore year no event of importance has taken place in which their push and energy has not shown itself. Look where one may, their handiwork is always to be found. 1C very student in college recognizes how much harder it would be to push an important issue without the guiding spirit of And so I might go on relating the prowess and good qualities � 1 this class, but enough has been said in this line. Some good men have dropped out and others stepped in to take their places in our ranks, but still we remain the same unit of strength that we have always been. The unity of '! .’ has been the secret of her success. No factional spirit has ever shown itself, and everything in connection with class matters has run smoothly and without a jar.

But soon they settled down to study and work in the class-room, thus winning the respect and attention of their elders in learning. Their predecessors, !C , had seen in the foregoing year that water was used with good effect to quench any little uprising on the part of the Fresh- men, and thus 9(i's spirits were dampened. They conjured up many day dreams of the future, thinking of that time when their commands would be obeyed and respected. But these happy thoughts soon faded when on the diamond they were met and vanquished by their upper class- men. the Sophs. We will omit the minor incidents with which the life of a Freshman is filled, and pass on to exams., when some passed and some didn’t, but all claimed to be Sophs, and girded their loins for the struggle with incoming men. They all returned in the fall, pail in hand, ready to instruct new men in the queer ways at the College. They had let the lessons of the foregoing year sink deep in their hearts and pro- ceeded to teach the Freshmen that to obey was the first law of the College. They roused from their slumbers the unwilling men and organized, in conformity with a time honored custom, the night-shirt parade, and marched through the town disturbing the sleep of the 33 inhabitants thereof. The reverend fathers of Orono debated loudly and lone: on the kind of reward they should give them. In the annual class contests they were fortunate, winning in both foot ball and base nail. But then they must play the Faculty’s eleven. In this game all took part and though they ran around their ends the center was so well fortified it could not be broken. The Faculty won by a core of do tot); a Freshman was maimed and two men somewhat injured. The winter passed with but little change, and save occasional friction with the others they maintained the peace and did not let class feeling disturb them. In March, however, the calm broke and many were wet. Finally on the pinnacle was'1)7 perched high above the beautiful campus as a menace to the Freshmen. I might tell you more about them—how they played their pranks in Wingate but the space alloted is more than full and now we will leave them and hurry on to the end. A few short months will pass and they will be dignified Juniors, the pride and joy of the Maine State College. 34 ;s of QJ CLASS OFFICERS. President, Jo ei ii W. Kanmi.eite.

They reminded one of rustic youths making their first visit to a large city, as they looked up and around at the tall buildings. But there came a time when they looked up. not from this cause, but because the Sophomores thought they needed seasoning. And the Freshmen soon became aware of the fact that the Sophs, have methods of seasoning quite the reverse of those used in the kitchen. So our juveniles found it necessary to scan the sky very carefully in order to avoid the disquiet- ing effects of sudden meteorological changes, for heavy showers and even terrific cloud-burst occurred so often as to create almost a panic among the gallant men of ’97. Thus time passed pleasantly for some and the reverse for others. On the diamond ‘97 proved themselves invincible in the use of the shovel and hoe; but with the bat and ball they were beaten September 9, by ’9(1, 21—10. However, this was no fault of the Juniors, who yelled themselves hoarse and blew silvery blasts from tin horns. All this encouragement to “Bill Nye, ” who was in the box. was of no avail; the bushel of peanuts went to ’!)( . But they were somewhat solaced for their defeat when the Sophs, thoroughly soaked a well known drummer whom they mistook for a Freshman. In the military drill ‘J7 made a fine appearance, marching about the campus in a stately manner, wearing white turbans heavily ballasted with sand. They figured prominently in foot ball, having some good players who did not fear mud and snow. However, in their con- test with ’!)( they were defeated lb—4. In the examinations it was demonstrated that Freshmen are poor equestrians. Among the persons and things that have made them famous are : Knights, the violinist and printer; Goss, the pugilistic gentleman; Brown, a firm believer in “Brown’s Instant Relief;” Kid, noted for his immense stature and heavy mustache, and “ l’awnee Bill, ” the showman and crack shot, and last but not least, their never to be equalled yell. 37 Class of ’97 COLORS.

J7ernald IIILK it lias seemed best for me to prepare the biographical sketch of my husband desired for the Prism. I fully realize that I am placed in two ways under conditions such as would affect no other person in treating the same subject. No one else can know the true character of the man in all the finer traits which have governed his life, as they are known to his one intimate associate of nearly thirty years. His pride of character, his keen sensitiveness, kept constantly in the back-ground by his careful reticence and his controlling sense of duty, his patience, his courage, his unwavering faith in God's over ruling wisdom, are but a few of the qualities which wifely pride would gladly dwell upon ; on the other hand, delicacy and propriety withold me from attempting any extended analysis of his character under the present circumstances : hence this article must be mainly a simple statement of such facts as have had a bearing upon his work of the past twenty-five years at the Maine State College. Merritt Caldwell Fernald was the fourth son of Robert and Roxana (Buswell) Fernald, who resided, at the time of his birth. May 26, 1SM8, in South Levant, Penobscot County, Maine. 11 is father then owned a farm and a lumber mill located on a small stream which flowed past his early home, and which furnished the power for active industries since discontinued, as the forests along the banks of the strea.u have been cut away, and the land converted into thrifty farms. When he was five years of age. his father died, afte a protracted illness, and his mother was left in limited circumstances t care for four 59 9 ? i 5 2 children, whose ages were respectively ten. eight, five and two years, the oldest son having died in infancy. How completely this noble woman met the responsibilities imposed upon her by her husband's untimek death, the world can never know. To her three sons and her daughter in their mature manhood and womanhood, the years of heroic endeavor and self-sacrificing devotion which followed, hold a cherished place among the treasured remembrances of the mother who lived, an inspiration to her children and to all who knew her, for nearly fifty years after her early widowhood. As may be inferred, the early years of the three sons were periods of alternation between attendance at school and such work on the farm or in the mill as boys of their age could do. The subject of this sketch, while very young, showed such aptitude and fondness for the study of mathematics, that his mother was induced to seek for him very early better advantages for instruction than the common schools then afforded. Accordingly, when ten years of age. he was sent for two terms to the Academy then but recently established at I vast Corinth. Later, it was liis good fortune to return to this Academy for other terms of study. Ilis more definite preparation for college, however, was commenced in the fall of Is'”� � . at the Hast Maine Conference Seminary at Bucks- port, and it was in this town also that he taught his first term of school the following winter. Two or three terms were subsequently passed at this Seminary, where, among his well-known instructors, were Rev. Loren L. Knox, the first principal, and Rev. Thomas Rich, his teacher in Greek, who subsequently became a professor in the theological department of Rates College. The final preparation for college in Latin and Greek was made at Bangor, in the Spring and Summer of 1S. 7, in company with several other young men seeking the same end. under the private tuition of ( Rev.) Jonathan K. Adams, then a student in the Theological Seminary, and later a successful and highly esteemed minister of the gospel, and the efficient Secretary of the Maine Missionary Society. During this c.o period of preparation tor College, he taught three terms « 1 school in hi native town, one of which was a term of High School in the town hull, the beginning of a series of eight terms in the same building which he continued during successive autumns while in college, and for a short time afterwards. In August, IS. 7. he was admitted, without conditions, t« Bowdoin College, but did not know where the money was to come from to defray the expenses of even the first term. He was determined upon a college education, however, and his characteristic courage and persistence opened the way before him, brought him success and honors throughout his course and enabled him, by his own energy and industry, to gradu- ate among the first in his class of fifty in ISfil, with a debt of but ninety dollars to be cancelled later. His degree of Bachelor of Arts, then received, was followed by that of Master of Arts three years later, and in 1SS1 his Alma Mater honored him with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In this connection it may be of interest to state that among his college mates who have achieved notable success and are prominently known in this state, are Gen. T. V. Hyde of Bath. Hon. V. V. Thomas, twice United States Minister to .Sweden, and Hon. T. B. Reed, the distin- guished ICx-Speaker of tile United States House ol Representatives. Hon. L. A. Kinery. of the Supreme Bench of Maine. Hon. J. V. Symonds. of Portland. Prof. A. S. Packard, now of Brown University, the eminent naturalist and author. As indicated before, each autumn while in college was passed in the High School in Levant, and three of the four winters were also devoted to teaching, two of them in his native town and one in the village of Carmel. This amount of absence was permissible because of the advanced mathematical knowledge which lie had acquired before enter- ing college. After graduation, he continued in charge of the Levant High School for three terms, taught one winter in his own school district in Levant. 61 and oik-winter, that of in the village of Searsport. Immediately thereafter lie accepted the position of principal of Gould's Academy, in Bethel. Oxford Comity, Maine: and remained in charge of this institution from March. IN(5M. to July. 1N(� 4. The winter, however, of l- i:{-4. as likewise the fall of 1SIJ4, and the winter of 1 SI� 4-.‘ was passed in Cambridge. Mass., where he served as an assistant to Prof. Josiah P. Cooke, of the department of Chemistry in Harvard I’niversity, and pursued studies in mineralogy and laboratory work in chemistry. In passing, it may be added that a few years later he availed himself for one winter of the advantages offered by the Harvard Astronomical Observatory in enlarging his preparation to give instruction in Astronomy. Immediately after returning from Cambridge in the Spring of 1 S( .” , he was engaged as principal of Houlton Academy, and retained this position until July. 1S( (� . ( n the l!4th of August, lsfi.'i, he was married to Miss Marv Lovejoy Hey wood of Bethel. Maine. Their children are Harriet Converse, the present librarian of the Maine State College. Robert Hey wood, who entered last fall upon the duties of instructor in Mechanical Kngineering at the Case School of Applied Science. Cleveland. Ohio. Merritt Lyndon, an assistant in the Herbarium of Harvard I'niversity, and Reginald Lovejoy and George Bancroft, now fitting for college. In the summer of lsiMi, he removed to Dover, Maine, in which town his mother had recently taken up her residence, and for the next two years served as principal of Koxcroft Academy. On July In. lsfis, he entered upon duty for the Maine State College, as professor of mathematics, with which department was very soon associated the department of physics. Mr. Samuel Johnson had just been chosen farm superintendent, and they two were at first the only officers of instruction. The first duty to which Mr. hernald was summoned was that of aiding the trustees in outlining a course of study and in preparing circulars to advertise the «2 new institution. A visit immediately thereafter to the Agricultural Col- leges of Massachusetts and Michigan served to impress upon him with something of definiteness, the nature of the educational problem to foe wrought out at Orono. He has often said that, in looking back over the history of the College, he has noted no wide departure from plans thus early formed. In other words, the development has been along lines which at its very inception were traced out. On September 12. isiis, the first class of students was admitted. During the three years following, in addition to the duties of his pro- fessorship. it fell to his lot to serve the college as its Acting President. This period must foe regarded the most vital in the history of the institu- tion. inasmuch as in it were really settled the principal questions which related to its permanency. For seven and a half years thereafter, during the presidency of Rev. I)r. Charles F. Allen. Mr. Fernald was able to ilevote himself more strictly to the duties of the department to which he had been elected. On I)r. Allen’s retirement, lie was called t the presidency, and served the College as president from March. 1S7! , to September. 1S ):{. His work in the College was necessarily of a three-fold nature, involving instruction, and, for the greatest part of the time, executive manage- ment. and also, in conjunction with others, the securing of the financial support upon which everything else depended. His qualities as an instructor have been too fully appreciated by the many students who have been under his charge, to require comment of mine. To his conscientiousness and fidelity to duty, regardless of consequen- ces. in all executive matters, to the tenacity with which he held to the idea of substantial and thorough, rather than superficial and showy results in the building up of the institution, and to the zeal and self- forgetfulness with which he devoted himself to its interests so long as his physical strength allowed, his associates in the faculty and the trustees under whose direction lie worked, will. I am sure, bear willing witness. 63 In lii home, however, more than anywhere else, was recognized the expenditure l anxious thought and nervous energy involved in his share of the task of securing the needed funds for carrying on the widening work � f the institution from year to year. In recalling the many obstacles and discouragements encountered, it is gratifying to remember that in the end the responses by the Maine Legislature have been unvaryingly favorable, not always to the degree desired, but always in appreciation of urgent needs and in recognition of the State's responsibility. It may not be unfitting to add that only to his most intimate friends was known the quiet but sagacious and effective aid which he rendered in the concerted effort to secure for the land-grant colleges the generous endowments from the National (iovernment embodied in the Hatch Act and the recent Morrill Act. measures which now signify so much to the Maine State College, and which have so important bearing upon its future development and prosperity. During Mr. Lernald s connection with the College, he served for about twenty years as a member � f the State Hoard of Agriculture. In several of the prominent educational and scientific associations of the I’nited States he has also held membership for many years. While endeavoring to meet to the extent practicable such outside responsibilities, and while seeking in religious and philanthropic move- ments to render such service as grows out of a consecrated Christian manhood, lie yet deemed it his paramount obligation to devote his energies chiefly to the work constantly pressing within the institution over which for so long a time lie presided. The quarter of a century during which his own interests were so closely identified with those of the College, he naturally looks upon as the most important period of his life. It is a source of great satisfaction to him that he has known and has regarded as his friend every student that has ever been connected with ;4 the Maine State College: that it lias been his privilege t aid hundreds of these students in obtaining the positions which they have held or are now holding so creditably and honorabis ; and. especially. that strength was given him for so many years to bear an active part in the develop ment of the college from its small beginnings to its present compara- tively ample proportions, in buildings, in equipment, in men, in finan- cial strength, in fact, in all the essentials for a still larger growth and a more extended usefulness. to j diforial J)taff of file risro L.

President of the Maine State College, was bom at Philadelphia. Pa.. November 7. lSoS. He is the son of Janies Russell Harris and Susan Anna Reed. His elementary education was received in public and private schools. He was prepared for college in the Friends’ Central School at loth and Race Sts., an institution under the control of the Society of Hicksite Friends. The principal of this school was Aaron 1 . Ivins. M. A., who taught here for many years and was widely known as a very successful prepara- tory teacher. His work was especially strong in the department of mathematics and there were few places in this country where such thorough instruction in this subject was given. Young Harris passed through all the grades of the Grammar School and all but one of the High School, standing usually at the head of his class. In 1S7G, he entered Wesleyan University, being with two exceptions the youngest member of his class. Owing to the fact that his prepara- tion in the classics was not equal to that in mathematics, at the end of the first term lie was ranked as sixth, but at graduation, and for some time before, he led his class. In his sophomore year he took the only mathematical prize then offered at Wesleyan. As far as the elective system then in vogue permitted, he made a specialty of mathematics. In this way he came especially under the influence of Prof. J. M. Van Vleck, the well known mathematician and astronomer, who is distin- guished not only for his profound learning, but also for the stimulating influence which he has upon those students who are able to follow his clear but rapid instruction in the higher ranges of mathematical study. Among other teachers in whose instruction Mr. Harris was greatly inter- 60 ested were Prof. Winchester, whose fascinating talks on English literature have charmed so many students in the class room and auditors in the lecture hall : and Prof. Atwater, whose enthusiastic and successful labors in chemistry, especially as related to agriculture and food, have made him famous in this country and abroad. At graduation, in addition to the first honor for general scholarship, Mr. Harris was given special honors in mathematics, English literature, and chemistry. He was also elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. During his college work, and since graduation, Mr. Harris has been a prominent member of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity. When a new chapter house was needed at Middletown, he collected the inone and superintended the construction of the building, which cost nearly SJo.uim. He was councillor of the Middletown chapter and for a number of years a member � f the general executive council of the fra- ternity. He also served as chairman of a committee to revise the frater- nity song book. At graduation, after declining the position of assistant in the Chemi- cal Laboratory at Wesleyan I’niversity, Mr. Harris l ecame teacher of mathematics in Williamsport Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport. Pa., where he had marked success both as teacher and manager of under- graduate pupils. Later he was for three years tutor of mathematics at Wesleyan I 'niversity. Here his ability as a teacher was again strikingly shown, and his difficult duties in connection with the discipline of the College were performed in such a manner as t give him not only the support and confidence of the faculty and trustees, but also to win him great popularity among the students. At the expiration of the term for which tutors are usually employed at Wesleyan Lnivcrsitv, Mr. Harris went abroad and spent a year in travel and in the study of mathematics at the universities of Berlin and Munich. During this time he visited many famous foreign schools and took pains to study school systems and methods of instruction. While still abroad he was appointed to supply the chair of History and Political Economy at Wesleyan I'niversity duiing the leave of absence which had been granted to the professor in that department. He remained in this position for three years, and was then called to Washington t be assistant director in the newh established office of Experiment Stations in the Department of Agriculture. Here his ability for organization and the management of affairs was conspicuously shown. )n the retire- ment of the director of the office in 1 !H. Mr. Harris was at once appointed to fill that position by C.eneral Rusk. then Secretary of Agriculture. I'nder his management, the usefulness of the office as a part of the great experiment station system in this country has greatly extended, and his unexpected resignation last summer to assume the duties of his present position called hath ver general expressions « 1 surprise and regret both in the Department and among the stations. President Harris is a meml er of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and of the Washington Philosophical Society: Vice-Chairman of the Section on College work of tin Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, and a inembei of the Executive Committee of this Association: a member of the Advisory Council of the Meteorological Congress, and a member of the Managing Committee of Agricultural Congresses ol the World - Columbian Exposition. He first outlined the plan for the collective experiment station exhibit at the World's Fair in Chicago, and was active in its preparation and installation. President Harris has been a contributor to various newspapers and magazines. His official publications as director of the office of Experi- ment Stations aggregate several thousand pages. Among them are included the Experiment Station Record and the card index of Station publications. The first is a periodical publication, made up of brief, digested accounts of all publications of original work in the sciences relating to Agriculture. The second is an index of all experiment station publications, printed upon cards and distributed t workers in science for their guidance. It is the first successful attempt on a large 71 scale to reduce the work of indexing by co-operative work. Pres. Harris entered upon his work at Maine State College in the fall of lS‘Kt. During the college year just closing the effect of his energy, wisdom and experience i plainly seen in the broadening of the college work, the adoption of more modern rules for the government of the students, the system of admission ol students from approved schools, and the increasing interest all over the State in all that relates to the institution. I'nder his guidance the College seems to have entered upon a career ol increased prosperity and usefulness. 72 '■pIIK students at the M. S. C. have been handicapped so long by various circumstances that it requires a great deal of enthusiasm and push to make anything in the line of athletics a success. On account of our geographical position, travelling expenses are large. Hours of work have been numerous and. therefore, hours for practice limited. Grounds are practically useless until June and there is no suit- able gymnasium. However, there is some courage left and there is hope that in the future there will be a change for the better. In is!� :; an association was formed which was to have the manage- ment of base ball, foot ball and all other college athletics, thus avoiding three or four sets of officers where one would serve the purpose as well. A new athletic field, on which will be a base ball diamond, tennis courts, and a half-mile running track, is in course of construction and when completed will be the best field of the kind in the State. The required numlxrr of hours in college work is to be reduced and in the near future we hope to have a good gymnasium, fitted with all the modern appliances. 74 Intercollegiate J)ase J)all Association Colby, M.

This proves irksome to some, but the annual encampment is a feature enjoyed by all. Theone held at Camp A. V. Harris at Searsport last fall, was no exception to this rule. An invitation was received from the citizens of this town, together with an offer of Mossman Park as a camping ground. The invitation was accepted and preparations made to start Friday, Oct. � . The call was blown at five A. M. and we rose hurriedly to find I’ncle Ben with the baggage train in waiting. Soon after breakfast we were on the march, led by the valiant drum corps. The march to Bangor was somewhat tiresome, but all were in good spirits. On our arrival at the wharf we found the steamer Castine, which had been chartered for a transport, with steam up. I’ncle Ben sent his team back, but accom- panied us himself, for an encampment would not seem real without him. The weather was all that could be desired. It was a veritable Indian summer’s day. The trip down the Penobscot was delightful. The trees were clothed in their brightest colors, which made the far famed scenery more beautiful, if possible. We arrived at Searsport early in the afternoon and inarched directly to the park. The tents were soon pitched and everything made comfor- table. That night at dress parade the following schedule was published : reveille, ( A. M. : police call, fi.l ); breakfast. : troop parade, S; guard mounting, fl.0f ; dinner. 12 M. ; drill, 1.3.“) P. M. ; retreat parade, 4.30; mess, fi ; tattoo, O.Oo; taps, 0.30. The next day was 85 rainy, causing no little inconvenience. On Sunday all attended church. Monday evening a reception and ball was given the Cadets. This was a credit to the people who gave it. and a pleasure to those who were entertained. The ladies did their duty nobly, and the boys voted it the best time of the season. Again, on Wednesday the people showed their kind feelings by giving us a clam bake in the Park. In the afternoon a game of foot ball was played with the Belfast eleven, resulting in a victory for the College team. Next day a practice inarch was taken t Belfast. Here we were indebted to C. S. Bickford. for a bounteous dinner. On the return to cam]) the drum corps led us a lively march. Friday morning the tents were struck and our stay in Searsport was at an end. It was with sorrow that we turned our backs on that pleasant town. The spirit shown by the people was all that could l e desired, and they will long occupy a warm place in our hearts. We returned to the College Friday afternoon, well satisfied with the week's outing and with renewed vigor to carry on the work of the remainder of the term. 86 (Ji cle tyo) J HERK is hardly a college or other institution of learning in the land which does not have associated with it some peculiar charac- ter, some person who looks upon the hoys as his own special charge. Often his hair lias turned gray in the service � f the college and the place would not seem natural without the sight of his familiar figure on the campus. Such a character is connected with the Maine State College and he is familiarly known as Lucie Ren.” Benjamin Mosher was born in the town of China, in Maine, on the 14tii of December. IS’2!). His father was a lumberman who did a large and profitable business on the Penobscot River. He had a large num- ber of horses and from earliest boyhood young Ren was always t be found around them. In fact, as soon as they were old enough it became the duty of Ben and his brother to care for these horses. When about fourteen years of age he began to drive a team of four horses toOardiner and Hallowed: but like many other young fellows. Ren soon tired of work at home and was filled with an intense desire to go to sea. His father, being a sensible man. and knowing that a rough voyage would probably quench this desire, made arrangements with an old sea captain to take Ren with him to Labrador on a fishing trip. The vessel started but our sailor soon learned that she was a smuggler instead of a fisherman. They encountered very rough weather and were very near being wrecked when they were sighted by an English bark which was unable to assist 87 them ami which reported in port that the vessel would never reach home. There was great sorrow in the little town from which they sailed and preparations for memorial services were being made when the vessel appeared “off shore” with all on board safe and sound. ur young man concluded he preferred a life on the land rather than on the ocean wave. In is:,0 he came to Orono and drove a team for his cousin. Ilis brother soon followed him here and they went into business, doing the teaming to Bangor for thirty years. During this time Ben took some of their horses into the woods during seven winters. In 1S.YJ he was married to Miss Kmily L. Crowell. Their wedded life was blessed by the coming of three children into their home. Death soon broke up this happy home by taking away the wife and two of the children. In 1ST:� he again married. This lady’s maiden name was Clara A. Hamilton. She. as well as “1'ncle” himself, always has a welcome for the boys. “I'licle” hauled the lumber for the first building on the Maine State College Campus: since that time lie has always been interested in the college and ‘ the boys” and has for many years done all ol their truck- ing to and from the village. The first object which appears to the new man when he leaves the train at )rono is “Uncle Ben.” “I’m your T'ncle Ben.’ boys.” he says with a hearty grasp of hand, “we ll soon make college men of you. And thus all become his sworn friends. He often amuses them by tell- ing the following story : “One winter I was driving a four horse team in the woods and I kept my horses in a shanty where another teamster kept his. There were barrels in each end lor the grain which was brought by the “tote-man” at certain times. We never used out of each other’s barrels and the “tote-man” knew it. The other driver, whose name I will call Bill, got an idea into his head that I got the best and heaviest oats and I began to notice that my oats were going faster than usual. One day the boss came up and I told him. but he did not believe it. So to prove it I set a steel fox-trap in my barrel nearest Bill’s horses. 88 That noon he came in late and ns we were eating dinner we were startled by terrific yells of murder, etc.. etc. 1 knew what it meant, but rushed out with the rest to see what the matter was. Well, there was I i 11 hopping up and down right in the middle of the yard and swearing about forty miles a minute. You may bet. boys, 1 didn't lose am more grain that winter. For the last year or two Tilde's health has been very poor but we hope he may live many years and be spared to console, as he has so often in the past, many a poor homesick freshman. s9 (adet © A MONTHLY MAGAZINF PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS.

'Twas the fete day of the Sophomores, And their friends from far and near Had come to hear their speeches And partake of their good cheer. Now these verdant Freshmen, Thinking to be smart. l)ouned the oldest clothes they had And tried to act a part. Full thirty of these gallant youths. Each with his little cane. Marched straight across the campus And then marched hack again. And when the time for the oration Was drawing near at hand. They all inarched to the forward seats. Close by the speaker's stand. Here they gazed about them And tried to bring the Soph's to shame, By making all the noise they could And playing their little game. But the Soph's were all unconscious. And declaimed so clear and loud That all their friends delighted were And they were encored by the crowd. Then these Freshmen with their walking sticks, Looked so ragged, rough and queer, That more than one was heard to ask How came these tramps in here? 93 OFFICERS. President, James M.

Its object was, as expressed briefly by the late Professor Balentine, “To give the people of the State especial opportunities for becoming better acquainted with each other, the institu- tion, the workers there and the methods employed.” To forward this first event, notices were sent to all parts of the State, inviting people who were interested in experimental and practical agri- culture. dairying, etc., to be present. In reply to these invitations, about one thousand people were in attendance. The program for the day consisted in showing by practical application the work and usefulness of different kinds of improved farm and dairy machinery, sight-seeing, a bean dinner furnished gratis by the College, an exhibition drill by the Cadets, and what was of more importance, addresses in the chapel by members of the faculty and visitors. The second Field Day took place September 2( . 1893. The program was essentially like that of the former, except it was held in the fall instead of the spring. The attendance was about the same as at the first and the day was pronounced as much of a success. The value of these assemblies of the practical people of the .State can hardly be estimated. Here they see exemplified facts and methods of which they may have heard but have never seen perhaps. They come to the College wondering what they will find to interest them ; they go away wondering that they have heard so little of an institution which intersperses with its theory so much practical and useful knowledge. In the future these field days are to occur during the spring, as it is impracticable to hold them in the fall. The people of the State must eventually recognize the value of this institution and that the results of its work are of great benefit to them. When that time comes the institution will take its proper place among the institutions of the country—that of a school which educates the hands as well as the brain, which gives education which will, and is furnishing the successful practical men of our age. 102 orDiTjencernent, 1893 Sophomore lPrisc Declamations.

As no Annual has been published at the College for ten years, we could not profit by the mistakes of others but made them ourselves. We fully realize that by far the larger part of whatever merit this volume has. is due to the help given by kind friends, and we would take this opportunity to express our gratitude. We wish to give thanks to Director Jordan for such a just tribute to the late Professor Balentine. To Prof. H. M. Kstabrooke for the carefully prepared sketch of the College. To Mrs. M. C. Fernald who kindly consented to furnish the biographi- cal sketch of Dr. Eernald. To Mr. A. C. True of Washington, D. C., for data for the article on President Harris. To Mr. I). W. Colby who has added much by the views and groups so kindly taken for us. To our printers, C. H. Glass Co., for many courtesies during the publication of this book. To those friends who have shown their confidence in 11s by advertis- ing ; and to many others who by their counsel and advice have done so much to make our burden lighter. Whether we have fulfilled the expectations of our friends, each must determine for himself. If we have pleased you. Good; if not 10$ Good Day. The Editors.
