AFTER an existence of nearly thirty years, instead of one wooden college building and perhaps a dozen students, we see to-day the buildings and equipment of a young institution in reasonably prosperous condition, with a faculty numbering upward of thirty-five and above three hundred and twenty- five in the student body. To an observer it would be difficult to realize the early beginnings of the institution, seemingly handicapped in almost every direction. Of the noble fight of the whole-souled men who had the interests of the young college at heart we need not write. The college to-day stands as a monument to their efforts and we feel sure that had it not been for their unselfish and untiring labors the institution might not exist. As it is, the college advances along the lines laid down in its plan, and with increased income and facilities is daily growing into greater usefulness, broadening its scope and purposes with its advancing age. Members of the alumni may be interested in a few of the changes that have taken place in and about the college in the past year or two. A very important change over former periods, which has considerable indirect influence on the affairs of the college, is the establishment of the Ban- gor, Orono Old Town Electric Railroad. Many, who in past years, have toiled up along the way from Orono to the campus would appreciate the “Boo” line, which puts us in better connection with the outside world than ever before. The road was built and cars began running in 1895, and since then this means of travel has been greatly appreciated by the college men. But we will speak more concerning the college itself, and of a few of the many happenings of the year just gone. In the Maine Legislature, early in 1897, a bill, appropriating to the insti- tution a sum of twenty thousand dollars annually for a period of ten years, was 17 passed, and the same legislature also voted to change the name of this college from the “Maine State College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts” to the “ University of Maine.” In the personnel of the faculty there have been several changes during this year. Mr. D. W. Colby, instructor in Chemistry, resigned his position in June to accept a position in the Experiment Station at Middletown, Conn. Gellert Alleman, Ph. I)., a young man of excellent education and with good qualifications as a teacher, was chosen to fill the place left vacant by Mr. Colby. Miss Harriet Converse Fernald, who for nearly eight years acted as libra- rian, resigned also in June, because of her approaching marriage, and Mr. Ralph K. Jones, an alumnus of the college, was elected librarian. With the introduction of Latin into the college curriculum, Mr. G. A. Andrews was chosen instructor. Mr. Andrews resigned his position after one term and Mr. W. S. Elden, an experienced teacher, filled the vacancy made by Mr. Andrews’ resignation. Mr. Nichols, instructor in Modern Languages, is spending the year at the University of Leipzig, for the completion of his study there, and Mr. Reginald R. Goodell, a man of liberal education, is filling the chair during the absence of Mr. Nichols. Mr. Webb is also on leave and is taking graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. It is impossible in an article of this kind to enumerate or give account of all the changes of the year, so we hasten to speak of a recent acquisition of which every student is talking. We are very proud of our new cinder-track and athletic field and are very grateful to the alumni who have aided in its com- pletion. With its advantages we shall hope to raise the standard of athletics in the college and to increase the number of victories of our teams. For the complete record of athletic events, the reader is referred to an article entitled “A Review,” farther on in this book. iS f.l Senior Class, 1898. President, H. I. Libby.

THE four years of our college course have passed, seeming to us as “only a day”; yet much has happened in this comparatively short time. From the very beginning 98 has been noted for her progressive opinions and for her aggressive manner of upholding them. These characteristics the Sopho- mores were the first to realize. The cheerful manner in which we absorbed water and the equally cheerful way in which we “did” them in scraps and ousted them from Oak Hall gave just cause for grave fears and suspicions, which were later realized when we, with true Freshman naivete declared our- selves to be “ monarchs of all we surveyed ” and acted accordingly. The upper classes were forced to recognize our true republicanism when they saw with what strict impartiality we met Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores when we got control of the hose that the Sophs had originally destined for us. The faculty led by “Tape” soon locked horns with us, and after a san- guinary conflict both sides drew back, and the battle was declared a draw'. But alas! our ranks were sadly decimated, and the havoc made by that great struggle has never been fully repaired. To be progressive and aggressive is to make mistakes and to make ene- mies; and yet with all her faults and foibles ’98 can well be proud of the record she has made and of the potent influence exercised in all college matters. We cannot help being proud of the athletic record of a class whose teams have never suffered defeat by those of another class; wrho started her career by whipping the Sophomores in both base-ball and foot-ball and putting nine men on the ’Varsity eleven; who has never refused a challenge and has always stood for open and sportsmanlike methods in college athletics. But why endeavor to show her athletic fame when such men as “Spike” Merrill, “Bull” Sawyer, “Dutchy” Dolley, “ BA ” Gibbs, “ Bosun ” Sturgis and “Jeff” Law- rence have spread it far and wide? 21 Why speak of our dead-game, red-hot sports, when ever before our eyes we have the illustrious careers of “ B--y ” and “ T-----y ” known from Milford to the sounding sea? And our scholarship? Truly a tender subject and not an entirely unlim- ited one ! To mention the names of those precocious ones who with work of mighty intellects have finished their courses in times varying from six months to three years would occupy too much space. . . . We who remain have seen the class dwindle to half of her original size. We have been called upon to part with true and faithful classmates, who, through no fault of their own, have been called away from studies to take part in life’s stern struggle. Though separated from us they are by no means forgotten, and it is the sincere hope of those who remain that some day in the near future we may have a reunion where every one who has ever been a member of old ’98 will unite to do her honor. 22 Members of 1898� Fred W.

THERE is probably nothing which gives a Junior more intense satisfaction than to lounge in an easy chair, with a pipe in his mouth—provided he is a smoker — reflecting upon the two years of his college life already com- pleted, enumerating the victories credited to his class, congratulating himself and classmates upon the prominence they have gained through their combined physical and intellectual strength. If his class has been so unfortunate as to have suffered any defeats, he manufactures reasons and causes for such misfortunes. The ordinary class history, whether Senior, Junior, Sophomore or Fresh- man, is a very much exaggerated account of its victories, generally written by one of its most imaginative and enthusiastic members. It is not the intention of the writer of the history of the class of ’99 to appropriate page after page of its annual in relating its victories, and praising the truly remarkable record which we as a class have established. It needs no praise; furthermore, words of praise are spoken of the dead, and we wish to emphasize the fact that '99 has still plenty of life and is not to be considered for a moment in the same class with “inanimate things.” We first made our appearance on the campus of the University of Maine, then known as the Maine State College, in the fall of ’95, as verdant and rustic a class as ever entered the institution, but ready and eager to be initiated into the mysteries of college life. Our reception was one never to be forgotten. We wanted for nothing. They threw everything (but money) at us, and the attention our co-eds received was simply wonderful. Our record as Freshmen has never been surpassed. Some of our members who were very kindly invited by the Sophomores to participate in “the Mid- night Field Meet” made records which have not been broken even to the present day. We gave ’98 such a scare in the “Peanut Game” that it has 28 never quite recovered. This was our first opportunity of testing our skill in athletics with the Sophomores, and we proved ourselves by far their superiors, beating them all through the game until the last inning when, partly because of our modesty, but chiefly out of respect for their age, we gave them the game by the small margin of a single score. In the foot-ball game we were not so con- siderate of their feelings; we did not even permit them to score and “the blow it near killed ’98.” As Sophomores we were models; our long list of victories crowned our efforts. We were not, as the boys say, “looking for trouble,” but whenever the occasion demanded we never hesitated to do what we believed to be our duty. No Freshman was ever allowed to suffer proper chastisement. Our record thus far in the Military Department is all that could be desired. We have without doubt among our numbers soldiers, who would have gained distinction even in such a battle as “ Bull Run.” Upon our success in the class-room we have nothing to say; here again our modesty becomes apparent. Our record, we think, is a good one, and for further information on this subject we refer you to the faculty. 29 Members of 1899. '• Armes- Fred Walter, k 2, Gardiner, Me. Gardiner High School.

OUR class has been a favored one in almost every respect, and its eventful history properly should fill a large volume. Of course when we landed at Orono as Freshmen we were not wholly exempt from the strangely lost feeling which is always a part of a Freshman’s first sensation. Like all other entering classes we had to “fall in” for our first drill. It seemed as if every- body was looking on. So great was the clamor and uproarious din on the part of the upper classes of the college, that a Freshman might well have thought his life was soon to end. In fact so great was the strain on “Zero” Merrill that he could not hold his contents. However, we were only starting in. In the great “scrap” which followed the drill ’99 was completely annihilated and we did not scrape the base-ball grounds. From this time on life was spicy, and when the “peanut ” game came we took possession of the grand stand, hurling the Sophomores, who tried to enter, into space. We were defeated by one point by ’99 and we liberally furnished the peanuts, about which we would refer you to Mr. “ Eddie ” Palmer. Then, too, we showed our great intellectual ability by defeating the Sopho- mores in debate, after which we gave them a good “scrap” and a decent burial. Prayer was offered by Rev. “ Slummy ” Wormell, and it is said that “ Willie ” Closson prayed most fervently for himself on the bank of the Stillwater. We closed our Freshman year with a bouncing banquet at the Penobscot Exchange, where everything went “ Hobble-gobble, razzle-dazzle ” except a few lengthy remarks by the landlord and Mr. Leavitt. We had no more exciting episodes until after the long vacation, when we returned as Sophomores and met the Freshmen, who from the first were a very conservative class. They were “ dead easy.” We made them scrape the dia- 37 mond, gave them a nocturnal parade, defeated them at both base-ball and foot- ball, besides enforcing several “Thou shalt not ” rules which forbade Freshmen on the campus. And, dear Freshies, pray remember that the year is not yet over. i 38 Members of 1900� Alden, Harley Roscoe, k 2, Beedle, Harry Woodward, a p, Bird, Alan Lawrence, boh, Bowerman, Frank Harvey, ii o n, Bradford, Fred Prince, Brown, Roy Huntley, Burgess, William Joseph, Burnham, Agnes Rowena, 4 r, Cargill, Walter Neal, a p, Caswell, Wilfred Harold, Clark, Wilkie Collins, Q.

Freshman History, 8 TT7E are a modest class; when has a class of Freshmen been otherwise? v Even if we know we are the most important class in college we conceal it; for we find that life’s stream flows along more harmoniously if we do so. A few of our number are not secretive by nature, and on the glorious pos- sibilities of 1901 they needs must expand. Something dropped. It dropped on them from the third-story window of Oak Hall, — sparkling Adam’s ale, which quenches the thirst and takes the starch out of you and incidentally out of your shirt and collar. The Sophomores are a tender-hearted set of men. It was the college cus- tom, so we were informed, for the Freshmen to scrape the base-ball diamond; and the Sophs steeled their hearts and patriotically decided that the old college custom must be kept up. But when the day of the scraping came, as only two or three Freshmen could be prevailed upon to go with them to the Athletic Field, they were sorry for their harsh decree and scraped the diamond themselves. On the day of the foot-ball game they again showed the streak of mercy that runs through their natures. Before the game they had decided in class meeting to win by a score of forty to nothing (40-0). But the day of the game the little Freshmen looked so frightened and pitiful that they generously let the score go four to nothing (4-0). Young as our class is we have our celebrities. There is Napoleon, the gallant lad, who led the midnight attack on the 1900 flag on Wingate Hall Towrer and got his followers tied up to a board fence in the wilderness. There is Portland, the strong man, and Bill Nye, the man who slept in the silo and thought it was fun. (?) Micky and Michael Angelo, who painted 1901 so beauti- fully on the stand-pipe, and who also painted Spike’s new suit of clothes so beautifully in splashes. Spike was standing guard at the foot of the tow'er, and Michael Angelo, swinging a hundred feet overhead, dropped the paint pot. 43 There is Speedy, our lightweight boxer, who did up the Soph in one round; Cicero, the boy orator of our class, and many, many others; but our modesty overcomes us. We know confidently that the Sophomore class this year is an exceptionally weak one, and we would not be so contemptibly mean as to humiliate them by a recital here of our many victories over them during the past few months. Who put P. Moore’s bed on the little pile of rocks in the middle of the Stillwater River? Who put Holly’s trunk on the top of the “ Chemical Lab ” ? Surely you cannot blame the Freshmen for it. 44 Members of 1901.

Men desiring a general practical training to fit them for teaching and the other active pursuits of life have made a demand for a course like the Latin Scientific at the University of Maine. The college authorities decided that a scientific course embracing Latin was needed in the college, and accordingly in the fall of 1897 a Latin Scientific Course was established. The course resembles the Scientific in many respects and is identical with it in some particulars. It differs, however, from all the other courses in the University in requiring Latin in the Freshman year, making it an elective during the Sophomore year and on alternate years, Junior and Senior, courses in Latin are offered as electives. It differs also from the usual classical courses in omit- ting Greek and offering a greater number of electives. The courses in the modern languages, sciences, civics and mathematics are under their usual able instructors. The department of Latin at the establish- 72 ment of the course was placed under the care of Mr. Andrews of Brown Uni- versity, but he resigned at the close of the fall term and Mr. W. S. Elden was elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Elden, a native of Waterville, is a graduate of Bowdoin and also of Johns Hopkins, and is thoroughly conversant with Latin Literature. He has a facility of expression that enables him quickly to impart his ideas to students, is an excellent disciplinarian, and is popular among students and faculty. In a word, the students of the Latin Scientific Course are to be congratulated upon being so fortunate as to have Mr. Elden as instructor in Latin. That a literary course in the college is a new departure, its work hitherto being confined more nearly to technical lines, accounts for the fact that the number of students at present taking the course is small, but the steady increase in numbers since the founding of the course speaks encouragingly for the future. There are at present one Senior, one Junior, five Sophomores and six Freshmen enrolled in the course. It is thought that of the next entering class a larger proportion than of the present Freshman class will take the course. The unusually large number of electives in this course enables a student to make it one of language, chemistry, natural science, mathematics or physics. Its wide range and the diversity of subjects treated are sure to make the course a popular one in the near future. 73 IT is impossible to enumerate the amount of work done, or to give an exact account of the studies pursued by the individual members of this course, for the studies are for the most part electives and vary almost as widely as those of the different courses. In the past this course has not been liberally patronized, but the three present upper classes have a larger percentage of students in this course than any of the preceding classes in the history of the institution. Many look for- ward to the time when the number of students in this course will equal that in any of the engineering departments. What we lack in numbers we make up in personality. The most promi- nent of our little party is the man and his wife who upheld the doctrine, in spite of the efforts of a certain member of the faculty to “throw it down,” that “Whom God hath joined togther let no man put asunder.” One member of a lower class who finds it difficult to locate himself in any one class helps to swell our number in many recitations. Two others who decided that B. C. E. was not the degree for them joined us in the Junior year. Where these worthies will find themselves in the Senior year it is not safe to predict. 74 In our first year at college, our course of studies were like those of other members of the class. Hal Robinson took upon his shoulders the responsibility of instilling into our youthful minds the principles of Algebra and “Trig.” Hal was a conscientious man, and took great pains with us, espe- cially in Probability and Chance, where he gave us such a thorough drill in dice throwing that, when the final examination came, all those who could throw, read and pick up his dice were passed, but the unlucky Freshman who was unable to do this was conditioned. Johnnie, this same year, gave us a few points on how to make a compound, having an “ancient and fish-like odor,” and from our predecessors we got the idea how to shoot with H20. The next year, with the aid of the chemicals and a few engineers, whose knowledge of hydraulics was required, we proceeded to put these principles into practice, by trying to irrigate and fertilize a branch of mistletoe, and a few other green sprigs, that somebody had kindly sent us. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we bade good-by to many of our engineering friends, but in Analytics we still kept in touch with them. The rest of our party, whose mathematical ability had failed them on former occa- sions, had a shorter course in Analytics by themselves under the tutelage of the aforesaid Hal Robinson. Hal had become eloquent since we had seen him last, and his explanations were much after this formula: “ Don’t under- stand the one hundred and second article! Well, that is singular! Now just turn back to page ninety-six and read very carefully what is said there, then compare with article seven on page thirteen and I think that that will clear your point of difficulty. Is that all ? If so, next time take to article one hundred and sixty. That is all for to-day.” The roll had been called, this explanation given, the next lesson assigned and the class dismissed all inside of thirty minutes. In the spring term we took up Anglo-Saxon or Calculus. We also finished the course in Physics and heard about the enormous debt we owe to Professor Michelson. After return from camp we began to look forward to the pleasant (?) days which would be spent canvassing, and with this object in view many invested in dog-proof pants and other necessaries in this line. At the beginning of our Junior year, when we reported at the office, the secretary, profiting by former experiences, handed us over to the tender mercies of “ Janie ” Hart, the best read (red) man on the faculty; he proceeded at once to tell the student what he should or should not choose from the electives (if the 75 student had elected any study that did not suit Janie’s ideas it was dropped at once, and one substituted that was more to his liking). On the whole Hart’s theories were about the right thing. Our English Literature passed off smoothly until the very last of the term, when we found, as we went in to take the final exam., that the jewel of the class had pulled Honey’s leg until it was five inches longer than it was at the beginning of the term. What next year will bring to us it is yet too early to predict, but we all hope to do credit to ourselves and to our college. Soon the great wave of time will carry us beyond the fourth and last mile- post of our student life, out upon the sea of public life, and the undergraduates of the University of Maine will know us no more. 76 IN writing this sketch relative to the Department of Chemistry it will be fitting to give an account as fully as the information at hand will allow of the devel- opment of the course from its institution to the present time. The college was established in 1868 and the course in Chemistry was instituted seven years later, in 1875. Chemistry had, as a matter of fact, been taught before but there had been no regular course. The original work comprised advanced Inorganic and Organic Chemistry. The laboratory work included qualitative and quantitative analysis. Chemistry was required of no one; two or three, however, elected it. The apparatus was meagre to say the least ; it was with difficulty that sufficient apparatus was collected to enable the few students to carry on the practical work advantageously. This impoverished condition was soon replaced by a more prosperous one and evolution commenced. Additional studies were introduced from time to time; more extensive supplies of apparatus were purchased, and the practical work embraced new and more advanced methods. A list of studies added would include a most thorough course in Theory of Chemistry, advanced German Chemical Readings and elaborate notes on Chemical Processes. A greater prominence has also been given to thesis work. The laboratory work was made 77 to include Chemical Preparations, Toxicology, Urine Analysis and a greater variety of determinations, especially in Volumetric Analysis. The function of the course as catalogued is to prepare professional chemists and analysts. In addition to a thorough knowledge of Chemistry the student acquires a liberal education of no mean caliber. The degree granted at graduation is that of Bachelor of Science, and three years later on proof of satisfactory advancement Master of Science is bestowed. The first Professor of Chemistry in the college was S. T. Peckham, who was followed by Prof. A. S. Packard, now of Brown University; Professor Stowe next took the chair, and he in turn was succeeded by Prof. W. O. Atwater, present director of Storrs Experiment Station and Expert on Food Analysis in the U. S. Department of Agriculture; then Prof. R. Whittier had charge of the work for a short time, until February, 1874, when Prof. Alfred B. Aubert, the present incumbent, was elected. Just a word in regard to Professor Aubert. We like him. Impartial, courteous and easily accessible to all, with a vast store of knowledge, he is an ideal teacher. No assistant in the department was appointed till 1890, when Mr. D. Wilder Colby, an alumnus of the college and an excellent chemist, was engaged. Prior to this only such aid as could be furnished by advanced students was given. In the spring of 1897 Mr. Colby accepted a flattering offer from the Experiment Station at Middletown, Conn., and he resigned his position in this institution, and Mr. Gellert Alleman was chosen to take his place. Mr. Alleman has shown himself to be a proficient instructor. The department is also fortunate in having secured the services of Mr. Allen Rogers, ’97. By reference to the catalogue it will be seen that the Chemical Department does a large amount of work in the interest of the several other courses. We who have elected Chemistry find the work interesting and the instruc- tion excellent. 78 AS stated in the Act of 1862, one of the leading objects of the college was to teach such branches of learning as are related to Agriculture without excluding scientific and classical studies. The object of this course is to educate young men thoroughly, at the same time instructing them in the rela- tions that the sciences bear to the various branches of Agriculture; to give both the mental training, indispensable to success, and the scientific and technical knowledge necessary for becoming efficient workers in agricultural directions, whether as practical farmers, teachers or investigators. Any lower aim would fail to meet not only the requirements of the laws under which the college was organized, but also the progressive demands of the time. The aim of this course in Agriculture is to teach how the principal branches of physical and natural science are applied to the business of farming, and afford a thorough knowledge of its principles and methods. It explains the nature of soils and of fertilizers, the reasons for and the best methods of tillage, the constituents and characteristics of plants and animals, and the conditions favorable to their development; and it combines practice with theory wherever the processes involve skilled labor, but it does not consume the student’s time in the mere manual processes of plowing, planting and feeding. 79 It is evident to all who take a broad view of the relations and necessities of the farmer’s calling that the pressing need of to-day for building up a more rational and profitable system of farm practice is not a greater proficiency in hand work, but a better knowledge of the underlying facts and principles. 1 he four years devoted to the study of the sciences and their applications to Agriculture is but a scant time for obtaining the necessary knowledge, and manual labor is required only so far as it can be made an efficient adjunct of the class-room and laboratory instruction. No really educated man ever comes to regard hand labor as incompatible with the highest intellectual attainments. To the student in Agriculture are offered the advantages of the dairy building which contains all the modern apparatus, the buildings of the Horticultural Department, and the poultry houses which have been built the past season because of the growing impor- tance of the poultry industry. There seem to be comparatively few who desire to use the advantages offered by the Agricultural Course. It is seen, however, that this course in the interest of Agriculture offers many great and inviting results to the diligent student. There are different short courses offered to young men in the state who are not able to take the full course. Graduates in the four-years’ course receive the degree of Bachelor of Sci- ence; “three years later, on proof of satisfactory advancement and on presen- tation of a thesis embodying original work or investigation,” they receive the advanced degree of Master of Science. 80 JWP THE Pharmacy Course is one of the most recently established courses in the college. The regular four-years’ and short courses in this department are intended to give thorough training in both theoretical and practical work in Pharmacy and those branches which pertain to it. The four-years' course includes, also, lines of study for general culture. Our career as chemists began in the qualitative department, where our hunger for information concerning the unexplored domain of Chemistry was satisfied by our work on “unknowns.” In this work we were aided by our kind instructors and by our propensity for guessing. We hailed with delight the opening of the spring term in which we were to take Botany. Even now a tiny faded flower brings back pleasant memories of our labors in “Chippie’s rutabaga conservatory” with the incidental excursions in the fields and woods. We took General Chemistry under “Jack,” and among other things we made acquaintance with the principle of oxidation and reduction upon which it seemed to us columns might be written, although we found scarcely a word in the text-books. Si An interesting part of our course is the laboratory work, in which some- times we obtain very astonishing results, however well the directions may have been followed. Then again there is Materia Medica, over which many a sleep- less night has been passed. The disciples of “Jack ” are always busy, and the curriculum of the course is one which may surely keep the most indolent at work. 82 THE Preparatory Medical Course, although of only two years’ standing at the University of Maine, is becoming very popular, and the number of students registering for it is increasing with every class. This increase is caused mainly by the fact that those who wish to become successful M. D.’s are coming to realize that a three or four years’ course in a medical school is not sufficient thoroughly to fit one for the highest success. They realize that a broad training is necessary and that that training can only be obtained by taking a course of study at some college, and naturally the would-be M. I), may choose one of those colleges which maintains a Preparatory Medical Course. The Preparatory Medical Course offered at the University of Maine is a broad scientific course with especial attention given to those studies closely allied to medicine. Let no future Freshman register, however, with the idea that he will have a “ snap ” if he takes this course. He may as well give up that illusion before he registers. Of course the Engineers will inform him periodically that he will not have to work, but one expects such things from “ Mechanicals ” and “ Civils.” Surely they know not whereof they speak. Let them wander through the mazes of Organic Chemistry for a short time or work out the per- mutations and combinations of the Benzole Hexagon and they will say no more about Calculus or Mechanics. 83 During our first year we take the studies common to all courses, and like all Freshmen we spend all our spare time worrying about exams., and when they are over we wonder what it was that we worried about. Our Sophomore year opens and we find that we are expected to take as much Science and Literature “as the Scientifics”; as much Chemistry as the Chemists; as much Pharmacy as the Pharmacists. We study Physics, but like others often fail to pass. Is it from lack of study? Our chemical work continues with Quantitative Analysis. “ Woe be unto them who enter here,” for one is sure to break at least one of the ten com- mandments under the gentle influence of H2S and allied compounds. We become adepts in the manufacture of the above-named gas (chiefly with an eye to the opening of various rooms). We engineer various explosive compounds, and even a chemist could have no better success than we in breaking test tubes. We begin our biological studies with Cryptogamic Botany, managing to consume most of our time in the laboratory by chasing the illusive air bubble. In Vegetable Histology we learn from the fair co-ed the latest method of sharpening pencils with our section razor without damaging the edge on the latter. We take a preliminary course in Bacteriology, learning how to kill time and incidentally how to raise various crops of bacteria. We are so busy now that we are not obliged to play base-ball or even sing in the Glee Club, although unfortunately drill is not so easily avoided. To be a genuine Prep. Med. one should either join the Signal Corps or the Artillery Company. Probably the latter is to be preferred for the next few years at least for the obvious reason that those guns are coming some time. (?) As we advance on our course our work begins to apply more particularly to medicine. In the Junior year our chemical and biological work increases. Among our most interesting studies on these lines may be mentioned Toxicol- ogy, the study of poisons, and Helminthology, the study of internal parasites. Slowly but surely our Senior year comes with the trials and tribulations of Constitutional Law, Psychology, and Logic. We make our initial bow to Mr. Bonaparte in Vertebrate Zoology and continue the acquaintance with advanced Physiology and Anatomy. We study Materia Medica as a side issue and take animal Histology. During our twenty-weeks’ course in Bacteriology we sacri- fice the lives of sundry guinea pigs and rabbits in the interest of science. As our four-years’ course comes to a close we begin to have great ideas of our ability, and it would not surprise us greatly if we revolutionized the practice of medicine. But when we graduated from preparatory school we had similar 84 ideas and they never harmed any one, therefore these latter ideas will probably prove quite as harmless. Doubtless before many ages some of us will be startling the world by dis- covering some universal panacea for all ills, which we can afford to sell at the rate of one hundred doses one dollar, for which we shall expect the world to be truly thankful and to buy accordingly. Surely in our future work, at whatever medical school we may elect, we shall never forget the pleasures and benefits of our course at the University of Maine. 85 IaHE Civil Engineering Course is in a very prosperous condition, and is so arranged that students who take it need have no difficulty in finding enough to do. When at the beginning of our Sophomore year it became necessary to select a course a few of the more courageous ones chose the Civil, notwith- standing the terrors of Mechanics and Framed Structures. Soon after we had started on our Sophomore work something struck in our midst one day with a dull, heavy sound — it was “ Haggerty,” who had dropped from an upper class. How often during this year he surprised us by his lack of knowledge, and as soon as we were in the field with what diligence he sought a comfortable place to rest while we adjusted the instruments. Many were the discussions we held with “Grinnie ” concerning the permanence of bench-marks and many were the pleasant surprises he sprung on us in the form of prelims. At the beginning of our Junior year Bob Ford decided that our company was too slow for him and joined the ranks of the General Scientifics. We also learned with the keenest pleasure, no with the keenest sorrow, that “ Haggerty” had dropped again, not into a lower class but into space. Fearing that we would be unable to successfully cope with the difficulties of Mechanics without the assistance of some of the upper classes “ Grinnie ” requested “ Laz ” and “Teddy” to repeat the study for our benefit. 86 During this term “ Prof ” Cosmey took charge of the field work and insisted in vain that we should perform our work accurately. It is greatly to be regretted that we were unable to see the practicability of reducing all our observations to tenths of thousands. The “ Prof ” could set slope stakes exactly at the rate of two per hour, and this was his one redeeming quality. We claim for our course the honor of having a Junior who holds the coveted position of Lieutenant in the Coburn Corps of Cadets. During this term an event happened which is only one of many which go to show the wonderful value of military training. A number of the Civils, consisting of Bull Sawyer, Jim Flint, Belcher and “ Batch ’ were running a line of levels over the route of the proposed air line, and it became necessary to make a few measurements in a neighboring field. Boldly they marched into the field, but imagine their emotions when they beheld an angry woman, the owner of the field, charging upon them with a broom. With a cry of terror “ Batch ” ran for the fence, and scaling it at a single bound was soon lost to sight. But the remainder of the party boldly stood their ground, and it was at this crisis that their admirable military training came into use, although it has been hinted that they stayed because they were too frightened to run. Soon “ Grinnie ” appeared on the scene, and after considerable discussion a treaty was made whereby the party was allowed to retreat in good order. The unfortunate injuries which Maddocks and Whittier received in the railroad accident at Orono were such that they will be unable to return before the beginning of our Senior year. We are now encountering that part of Mechanics which “Grinnie” says is easy, and we have learned from “Janie” that the earth is round. We have before us the Practical Astronomy which we are told is very simple. We have yet much work before us which is only the foundation upon which we are to build in future. 87 Kh . 1 j ' I1. .i. I j. s + % !; V' THE Mechanical Engineering Course is one of the oldest and best in the college. Its purpose is to give such training in Mathematics, Mechanics, Drawing and the manual arts as will fit a student to solve the problems of Mechanical Engineering. The other studies included in this course are simply to give breadth, and form the foundation of a liberal education. The means for attaining this end are all that could be desired. The instructors are well versed in their subjects and the appliances for illustration and experiment are of the best. Knowing this we believe that our college is fully capable of turning out B. M. E.’s who are fitted to go tothe head, but it is a little too much to expect that our new graduates will know as much of the practice, in their line, as men who have worked ten years at the profession. But some people do expect as much and have imbued many a poor Freshman with the idea that he can and will be a celebrated engineer in four short years. But these poor Freshmen have lost their bumps the instant that they have realized what a man has to learn before he can be an engineer. This may not happen in the first year, for all courses begin alike and that year is simply a preparation for those to come. But the process is pretty sure to begin after he has pulled through these minor difficulties and entered upon those of the second year, such as Analyt., Geom., Descrip. Physics Lab. work, 88 and so on down (as in a Climax) to Military Science and Tictacks, the study which teaches him how to retreat in good order and still lead the bunch. By the way, this is the year that he may attain the rank of corporal if he has the right “ pull ” (where ?) and is smart enough in his other studies. He also begins his shop work as a Sophomore, and starts in by planing and sawing timber into shape for a joint. The first job is generally not a success, and he repeats the operation until he is “on to himself,” and either swipes a decent specimen or plasters his own up so that it easily passes the inspection of the boss carpenter. If he does not lose all hope of ever shining in engineering this year, he is pretty sure to during the next for he won’t have a “cinch in anything as a Junior. His time will be entirely occupied, but the principal studies will be Elec- tricity and Magnetism, Mechanics and Calculus. Perhaps Calculus is the hardest of these. Just before the final exam, he will find that he has made this formula: “The integral of what I know about Calculus is equal to the differential of what I ought to know.” But the Junior year, being a busy one, is short, and our friend returns at last for the “ Senior Snap.” “Senior Snap ” means that he is obliged to draw only two hours on Friday afternoons (on other afternoons he must draw three hours), and that he may say “Church ” every Monday morning without having his word doubted. These are all the snaps that the present Senior Mechanicals have been able to find, with one exception, viz. : “Connie has to work only half the time as he is so rapid. Besides the studies such as Mechanics, Geology and Philosophy, he will have to design bridges, boilers, engines and, worst of all, a roof-truss to hold the loads of two feet of snow with a wind blowing one hundred twenty miles per hour, allowance being made for expansion due to i io F at the same time. After our friend has been through all this he will be taken over to the shop to see “Jim” or “Bab” draw lines on a card with the help of the “Corliss,” which (the Corliss) is both interesting and instructive. This comes in the first part of the second term. He will be given the last part of the term in which to prepare his thesis. And then comes Commencement with the relief of “getting through,” and that sorry feeling at leaving the old place and parting with the best friends he 89 ever had or ever will have, and he’ll think that he’s had a pretty good time for all the hard work. And when he does start to scratch for himself he will find out what an education is good for and will never regret that he was an “iron pounder” in the University of Maine. 90 THE course in Electrical Engineering, being one of the youngest in the University, its equipment as yet is somewhat limited. However, with what we have one is able to get a very good idea of the subject. When our class entered the Maine State College it was with hopes and fears that we started in our course in Electrical Engineering. We seemed to be just average Freshmen and took our share of H20 with the rest, but it was frequently remarked that the “ Electricals ” composed the smartest part of our class. As yet we have not caused these opinions to change. All of us have steadily shown that we have the true qualities of successful men. Perhaps it would be well to name a few of our classmates in this course. Who has not heard of “ Ozzie” ? He will not give up a problem in Mechanics even after a Prof, has done so. Who can say that “Spud ” will not make a record for himself? “ Spud ” can surely play foot-ball, even if he does play in a tough position. Then we have “ Buck,” who will ask a question now and then. We often wonder if he does it to take up time. We could go on with “ Tape,” “ Parson,” “ Ike,” “ Eddie,” and others equally famous, but space will not allow it. Nevertheless, we all have our good points. 9 Throughout our Freshman year we worked with students in the other courses and longed for the work in electricity to begin. As yet we knew not what was before us. In our Sophomore year, as we worked in the carpenter and forge shops and found some of the trials of our course, we often wondered what all this had to do with electricity, and if we would always have to submit to such drudgery. In the last term of the Sophomore year we took up our first work in elec- tricity under Professor Stevens. Most of us went into the course with enthu- siasm and resolved to labor more conscientiously than ever. We heard the wails of the Junior “ Electricals,” and feared sometimes perhaps, but we always thought we could do better than they, so this troubled us but little. About this time the legislature voted not to give us a new shop. When at last we were Juniors we felt that we would now speedily become electricians. As we worked together in the laboratory we felt like young “ Edisons,” and vied with each other in obtaining the best results. At the same time Professor Lanphear was giving us more insight into the principles of electricity and magnetism. Sometimes as we studied Mechanics we would drop asleep and imagine we were inventors or electricians in some great electric plant, then we would awake with a start and find ourselves still toiling and with unlearned lessons for the next day. Sometimes Professor Lanphear would delegate some of us to do special work about the campus. It was then that we felt elated and thought that we were advancing rapidly. As yet we know but little of the practical work in electricity, but in the Senior year we hope to master the principles of electrical machinery, and to become familiar with power-stations, electric lighting and heating and all other problems of the modern electrical engineer. 92 In Winter, ( With Apologies to Longfellow.) How often, O how often, In the days that won’t come back, Have I stood in the waiting station And gazed up the winding track! How often, O how often, I have wished that a car would come, That would bear me away in a hurry To the dinner waiting at home! For the way was long and dreary, And to walk I did not care, And my burden of books and parcels Seemed greater than I could bear. But forever and forever, As long as the river may flow, I must wait, for the car I wished for Was stalled in an inch of snow. 93 . ■ iipii RSV V tjtof,� ' .. ? . .i J w e The Cobum Corps of Cadets.

Shall we rejoice over the victories we have won, or shall we name the defeats we have sustained ? Shall we crown our winners with wreaths of laurel, or shall we force sack-cloth and ashes upon those who have failed ? Every one thought that with our change of name would come a change in athletics, and that victory would find a home upon our campus. In fact we are too often of that belief when looking into the future. As others have said before, one great fault here at Maine is that we do not have enough faith in our teams of the present and we rely too much on what will be done next year. We are too easily depressed if we lose a game that we expected to win. This is not fair to the college, to the members of the teams, nor to ourselves. Brace up, encourage the teams to do better next time, and never give up until the light blue comes out on top, a winner. The outlook for the base-ball team last year was good. Some of the best players have been lost but the new class had shown evidences of good material. Early in the term Captain Palmer mustered his forces and led the way to the barn, each man wearing a pair of rubber boots. These were of great assistance to the players, and a spectator might imagine that 41 Cush ” always wore his while running bases. “ Cy ” and “ Duffy ” were soon wading around the cellar and pitching around piles of accumulated debris. Prof. Gowell stood guard over his “biddies,” and on witnessing the captain’s skill in digging for lost balls tried to induce him to change his course and become a farmer. Practice tells, and soon our skillful pitchers could curve a ball round a post or any other old obstacle so that it would return to them again. The second week in April saw the players at work outdoors, and a coach was soon secured. The first game was played Fast Day at Augusta and the local team lost to our boys. Some “ prep.” school opponents were beaten, and every one thought we had a crack team. As usual the first league game was with Bowdoin, and the boys had a cinch but they didn’t know it and lost the 142 game through stupid base running. Then the powers that were decided that a new coach was needed and “ Jack ” Abbott was secured. Now “ Jack ” was down here the previous autumn and instilled the rudiments of foot-ball into the eleven. Bates was downed the next day and every one took their hats off to “Jack.” The next game was played in Lewiston and Bates swamped us, making twenty hits while our pets rolled up fourteen errors. Of course the team was “ no good ” then. Next on the list was a trip to the Oxford Hills and Hebron was beaten, while “ Robbie ” scalded his foot. On the way back the Kent’s Hill team gave the nine a few valuable hints on how to play ball. The next league game was in Waterville and here the trouble of the season began. The umpire secured by Colby was one of their graduates who played on the team when they knew the game there, but he has never learned how to umpire a game. So notorious has he become as an unfair official that “ Cusky” had been warned never to play a game under his rulings. So Manager Farn- ham protested him before the game, but it was claimed that no one else could be secured and the boys went onto the field under protest. Colby’s supporters really began to think they could play ball. Captain Palmer grew very tired of the continued roasting, and after a very flagrant offence by a Colby base-runner which the umpire did not see (?) our team was taken off the field. This action was sustained at a meeting of the four managers and it was voted that the game should be played over. But it wasn’t. The boys then enjoyed camp-life in Bath, as the rain prevented the games scheduled for that week. After camp was over the team went to Berlin, N. H., saw the sights and lost the game. Coburn was beaten in the ninth inning. The surprise of the season was at hand. All the fellows were wondering how bad the score was at Brunswick when the news came that for the first time in many years we had downed Bowdoin on her own diamond. Our Freshman battery had proved too strong an argument for our opponents and “ Dickey’s ” two-base hit broke their hearts. Perhaps we didn’t paint the town red that night. It reminded us of the old days in '95. The next and last engagement was with Colby on Farmer’s Field Day. This was the famous game when our opponents were the victims of a strange hallucination and thought they saw dozens of balls flying through the air at once. Their antics furnished much amusement for the spectators and were truly remarkable features of the contest. This was the last game played and we thought the pennant was ours. But mistakes are sometimes made. One team had not played all the games and would not do so and that team was ejected from the league and none of its M3 games were counted. The remaining three teams were all tied so no one won and the pennant is yet locked up. Thus ends the story of how we didn’t get it. Early in March the track team began active training in the drawing rooms. Every one felt sore over the result of the meet the year before, when we scored but four points, and a large number began training. Indeed about half of the Freshman class yearned for a chance to display their ability and to break old records. Noticeable among these was the young man from Norway, but after careful consideration of the fact that he was a leading light in his local company of the N. G. S. M., he quit training and drilled with such zeal that he is now a corporal and is pointed out to admiring Freshmen as a good example for them to follow. Some of the faculty objected to the use of the drawing rooms and the athletic aspirants were banished to the barn with the ball tossers and the rest of the cattle. Here was a good chance to practice starting. Here Faunce distinguished himself in the running high jump, and here “ Slum ” galloped over the hurdles like a camel over the desert. In about six weeks the ambitious athletes were able to get outdoors and it was a welcome change. The coach soon came and hard training was the rule. This was kept up until that rainy time came upon us, and having no cinder track we were badly handicapped. Late in May the Coburn Cadets captured Bath and held it for a week. Unfortunately the track team was obliged to go to camp also. The only place to work was in a dusty highway, and the only provision for a bath was to get under a water faucet. Saturday afternoon the streets were lined with girls and the training would have been the great feature of the encampment if pleasant weather had prevailed. The rain drove the team into the Y. M. C. A. gym. and a chance for a “ rub down ” was found there. Of course the boys could not take in the town much, so “Holy” and “Gabe” attempted to take their places and with right noble success. The follows stood the test nobly and kept good hours. One fresh chap “ got gay ” and tried to run things, but the manager promptly called in the things which had been issued to him. It was the height of folly to make men in hard training go into camp, exposing them to temptations, making them sleep in the cold and wet, and feeding them on innutritious food of the cheapest quality. It would be little short of crime ever to expect another track team to go to camp in the spring, as it is a sad waste of time and money to train men for a field meet and then have them lose the good form they have reached, as they are sure to do in camp. Several dates had been set for the local meet but the constant bad weather 144 caused repeated postponement. The Brunswick team had to be picked, and ten men were chosen to uphold the light blue. No one expected anything better than last place as the rain had interfered with the work here more than it had at the other colleges. But the fellows went determined to do their best for the credit of Maine, and sixteen points were captured. The day was cold and cloudy and for this reason some of the men were unable to do their best. But the surprise of the meet was “ Bernie ” Gibbs who had not been counted “ in it ” for a minute by the other colleges, yet he went inches higher than his nearest opponent in the running high jump, and besides taking the only first place we have ever captured he established a new M. I. C. A. A. record. Patsy did nice work in the century, and the man who led him at the finish will have to hustle this year to win the race. “ Arsenic ” and Wiley ran well in the quarter and the latter worked those behind him in good shape. “ Archie ” Grover pushed the champion of New England in the shot put and took second place. “ Wildcat got third in the two-mile run, which was unusually close, and “Jack Swain took third in the running broad. The following Saturday the local meet was held. Many of the old records were broken, and it was shown that a decided advance had been made in field and track athletics. Tennis received but little serious attention. Although every one plays no one showed championship form and it was decided not to send any one to Portland. So now we have to live the past over again and think of the matches our redoubtable champion used to win. Good tennis players would be welcomed here and some time we hope to have some. The first week of last term was “ fair week at Bangor and every one went. Various attractions were provided for the amusement of its patrons. The fancy- drills of Troop F were of course the great attraction while the thrilling “slide for life’’and the ball games between our team and Colby were close contestants for second place. Four games were played, two of which were won, one was lost and one tied. Here “ Bounce could be seen in all his glory hustling the crowd aside to make room for the drills, and escorting the ladies to seats where they could see all the features of the show. After the fair was over the candidates for fame on the gridiron showed themselves. A coach who was at one time a student here and who later graduated from Tufts had been engaged and hard training was soon the rule. There was an abundance of material and choosing the best eleven was no easy matter. About the first of October the team was made up and we soon 145 had a visit from Bates who, smarting under her decisive defeat of the year previous, came down determined to do or die. Our boys started well and it was not so long before a touchdown was made and goal kicked. The second half was different. Bates went down the field with a rush and were not stopped until nearly across the line. Here we held them and got the ball, but through a mistake in the signals the runner was pushed back for a safety. After this a touchdown and goal were made and the game was lost. The next game with Bates on the following Saturday was one that will be long remembered as one of the greatest exhibitions of foot-ball ever seen in Maine. Our boys went to Lewiston resolved to wipe out the defeat of the week before. They started with a rush and were not held until within a foot of the line. Then the ball was punted and the first half soon closed. In the second half the boys went at it with a will and did not stop until “ Bull ” Sawyer went through centre for eight yards and a touchdown. The goal was missed and when Bates took the ball her only chance to score was by a goal from the field. Darby blocked the kick but a Bates man fell on the ball. Another kick was signalled, but our ends spoiled the play. Then with only two and one-half seconds left to play and fifteen yards from the line, the third attempt was a success and the little red-headed full-back had beaten us. It was hard to lose when victory was so near, but it was no disgrace. Our third, and as it chanced our last, game was played in Bangor against Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was our first game with a team from out of the state and the result was doubtful. Our opponents won the toss and “Jeff” kicked off. On the first line-up “Darby’ broke through, got the ball and went over the line. It was great luck and we felt more hopeful. Some good playing was seen during the rest of this half and neither side scored again. In the second half we got after them and two touchdowns and one goal were made, bringing the score up to 14-0. It was a grand victory and the boys richly deserved to win. But the game was no walk-over and M. I. T. proved a worthy antagonist. The boys were out to win, however, and there was no team on Maine soil that day that could have scored on our eleven. This was unfortunately the last game of the season for the ’varsity. A game was arranged with Tufts but they did not wish to go so far away from home to get beaten. Colby showed her usual disregard of the true sportsman’s spirit and would not play. We might have played Bowdoin, but hardly cared to remain in training three weeks for one game, so both sides agreed to cancel. Although the result as to the number of games won was not large yet it was a 146 good season for us after all. We had an extra strong second eleven that gave the ’varsity much good practice and won several games with outside teams. Some of its players are sure to make a good record next season. Each class also had a team and some good games resulted. At the close of the season Webber was elected captain. But the well-known “Tiddle,” our Captain Crack, star quarter, fast sprinter and all-round good fellow, has left us and is now on his way to the new Eldorado of the north, where we all hope he may have a successful search for fortune. Our eleven will look strange next season with four new backs and a new guard and tackle. Never again shall we witness “ Bull ” Sawyer’s terrific plunges through the opposing line, no more will we hear “ Darby’s ” falsetto, or “Lib’s” horse laugh, and we shall miss these splendid halfs. No more shall we see “ Jeff” and “Bosun,” the star guard and tackle, who have stood side by side for three years, and against whom many a runner has plunged to be thrown back like a goat running into the side of a house. O what a chance for the new men to gain a name and fame ! Let us hope we shall have plenty of good material to choose from and that we may have such a team as we should have—a team that will not lose to anything that will step on a Maine gridiron next fall. And now, fellows, let’s begin aright. We have splendid leaders this spring and we can do no less than support them. If you cannot make a team give your aid in money and kind words. See to it that when the nine plays the last game of the season Capt. Dolley will bear home the pennant — emblematic of the championship of Maine — and toss it to the breeze where it will wave over Maine’s own campus, swung to and fro by the gentle winds, telling of the feats of Maine’s sons. We cannot think of winning first on the track this year, but we are going to have second place and win it in good style, and when Captain Gibbs breaks his own state record we will make the old Maine yell ring out until the whispering pines think that a tempest is at hand. And may that yell be heard many times in joy over victories won. Rah ! rah ! rah ! Rah 1 rah 1 rah ! Rah ! rah ! rah ! Maine ! M7 Ktaadn. Looking from my window, northward, O’er the fields and o’er the woodland, Rising in its own grand beauty Is the mountain called Ktaadn. Standing all alone and silent With its towering head, majestic, Rising far above its neighbors. As it were the king of mountains, As it held a sceptre o’er them. In the summer months so pleasant, When young nature’s fresh and joyful, When the mountain brooks are laughing, When the songsters of the woodland Break the silence of the forest With their wild enchanting music, Then the mountain seems so charming, That one longs to linger near it, Linger ’midst its scenes of beauty. Changing ever in appearance From the verdure of the summer To the brilliant hues of autumn, When a peaceful quiet reigneth, From the forest round about it To its topmost peak and ledges. Then when once again we see it, Changed from beauty unto grandeur, Now ’tis robed in pure white garment, And old Boreas, the north wind, Howls in weird and fearful music Round its lofty crags and summit. Live each day with Mother Nature, Watch her beauties and her changes, Ponder on each one, and tell me If you cannot learn some lesson, Taught by all her joy and mildness, Taught by all her strength and boldness, That in all your life will help you, Help you in your journey onward. 148 Encampment. IT was early in the spring term of 1897 that the students of the University of Maine learned that the annual encampment of the Coburn Cadets would be in Bath during the last week in May. The boys always look forward to the week of encampment with the anticipation of a short vacation, when all books and college cares can be laid aside and the only two things left to do are to drill and have a good time. Only those who have had the privilege of enjoy- ing one of these encampments with their varied experiences can fully compre- hend the meaning of a good time as here used. It has a very broad and general meaning, including so many different kinds of good times,—well, I won’t try to explain them for my vocabulary and time are both too limited. The nearest I can approach to giving the readers of the Prism an account of camp week will be to show them the following diary account which was obtained by special permission. May 21, 1897.—Reveille was blown at 4.45 a. m. and soon everything was noise and bustle in Oak Hall. Breakfast at 5.20. Battalion fell in at 5.50 and marched to Webster station. Little Major “Coppertoes” with sword in hand marches on the sidewalk (?) near the head of the column; “'rape” at various places along the line. We left the station at 6.30. Augusta was reached and we all got off and shook hands with our old friend “Silver” Brown. There was a big revolver protruding from his hip pocket and he inquired if Boardman was on the train and said that he would like to see him. Fortunately for the instructor he was not with us. At Brunswick we all changed cars and many of us saw old friends who are now students at Bowdoin. At 11.30 we reached Bath. Found six old men (veterans of the war), two women, fifty small boys and seventy-five girls ready to welcome us as we came from the train. These statistics were taken by a member of the signal corps, 49 none of the rest of us could because when you are a regular little soldier boy you have to march with head erect, chest out, chin in, and eyes straight to the front — anyway, that is the way “Batch” does. We cut lots of ice, especially with the younger class, as we marched up through the city with the band playing and colors flying. Camp ground was reached at noon, but we had to pitch fifty tents before we could have dinner. Mess call at 1.30. Had a few “spuds” and lots of salt horse for dinner. Said horse wras tougher than the bull-beef at the “Com- mons,”—a rash statement, to be sure, but true nevertheless. All hands go to the Y. M. C. A. reception in the evening, where the girls are again in evidence. All track athletes were “called off” and sent home at 9.30 by Manager Holyoke and “Doc” Cummings — nobody knows how late they stayed. Saturday, May 22. —A pleasant day. Had the regular routine of drills. It is decided that the track athletes shall have some concessions in regard to drills. Sunday, May 25. — A pleasant morning. All except those who were on guard donned their white duck pants and went to church. Toward noon it clouded up and there was a high wind that blew down the mess tent. In the confusion several plates of gingerbread took legs and ran through the camp. They were overtaken, however, and doivned before they had done any damage. There were many visitors at camp in the afternoon to see the dress parade. Monday, May 24.—Rain ! No drills to-day. Through the courtesy of Mr. Hyde the cadets had a most interesting and instructive trip through the Bath Iron Works. Corporal “Batch” went on guard to-night. Of the social events of camp week, the most enjoyable was the reception and dance given by the Bath people to the cadets in the Alameda to-night. Tuesday, May 25.— Rain!! The slumbers of many of the cadets were troubled last night by the frequent “Halt! Who goes there?” “Corporal of the guard,” was the calm and decided reply. Any one would have known that it must be the corporal of the guard if they could only have heard him speak. Out of the eleven men caught running guard last night Corporal Batchelder’s squad got seven. The Corporal says he thinks that is a pretty good record. Several of his prisoners keep him busy during the day by their frequent and urgent calls to go outside the camp. Wednesday, May 26.—Rain! I! There was a band concert on the park to-night. It is said that “Willie” Closson was kidnapped by two girls and that he made his escape only after a severe struggle. 150 Some one that happened to be awake last night during the small hours heard the sweet and childlike voice of Fortier calling for the corporal of the guard. The Corporal came and Fortier said that a black cat and a bat had just crossed his beat and wanted to know what was to be done. He said that he called for them to halt but they paid no attention. Like any true soldier he called the Corporal who sent a detail after them, but they could not be found. Thursday, May 27.—Rain!!!! Arrangements were made for the Portland High School Cadets to come to Bath to-day and give an exhibition drill with us. It rained so hard this morning that no one thought they would come, but they arrived in spite of the mud and water. “Tape” hardly knew what to do; he turned around fifteen times in going ten feet. “Bounce” told him that he thought we could have the drill in the Alameda, that he had just completed the arrangements for the hall, so it was decided to go there. Colonel Hughes inspected our companies in competitive drill and Company B was awarded the honor of carrying the colors for the coming year. After this the Portland cadets gave an exhibition drill which was very well executed and highly appre- ciated by the large audience. Friday, May 28.—Rain !!! !! Broke camp. “Tape ” appeared this morn- ing in a ’varsity sweater and a soft gray cap. It is rumored that his “militaire” went to a dance last night; it returned, however, during the forenoon. The return trip to Orono was somewhat broken up on account of the large number of cadets that went home from camp, and the handful of muddy troops that marched to the train would remind one of Washington’s army marching from Valley Forge. Socially the encampment has been a success, but on account of the terribly rainy week it came near to being a failure from a military standpoint. 151 The Happy Hunting Ground of the Faculty. WK do not wish nor can we with any degree of accuracy predict the condi- tions of a future “ Happy Hunting Ground,” but we wish simply to make known to all interested the advantages and pleasures enjoyed by our Faculty when in camp out at Sunkhaze. Their principle seems to be that as this is the last time they live this life they will take advantage of any good hunting or fishing that is available, in case they—well, in case there isn’t any over there. It is another modified case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, although which the professor and which the sportsman, is at all times difficult to state. At any rate, going out to camp breaks down the barrier that distinguishes the professor from “one of the boys. At camp it is so arranged that wives, families, and lady friends can be entertained and made to feel at home when not; but it is quite noticeable, and was, no doubt, the original motive in building the camp, to have a place free from college duties and domestic cares. During open time for trouting, about half-past two in the afternoon of Fridays, the cream-colored, white-faced, bay horse may be seen starting “out,” and as you w'atch the team from a distance, as it enters the woods, three or four streams of smoke, according to the number of passengers, may be seen to rise and float aw'ay. It looks like the boys, and so it is! Camp is reached in time to visit the stream and bring in enough trout for supper. During the evening confidences are exchanged; a few old familiar fish songs are sung; then one tells how he worked the bluff when pressed by his class on some subject foreign to his department. Nothing but spring w'ater washes down the exchanges, and the cloudy atmosphere, which gives the room such a jolly, bachelor-like, out-of-wife’s-reach appearance, will tell no tales. It is plainly seen why camp is such a healthy place. Contagious disease germs have no license. 152 Like all good fishermen they take an early start; lose all the large fish; get snagged in the best pools; use no language but such as is common to col- lege students; fall into the stream and come home in such a state that the most vivid fish story will not raise their ardor for fishing in the least from the absolute zero to which it has fallen. The next morning being Sunday they cannot go fishing, so the bed and the professors remain the best of friends until hunger drives them out. Every- thing goes along in an easy way, for as they can’t fish they must loaf until it is time to start for home. After a time a certain uneasiness is noticeable. “ Major Billy”—“Jimmie’s devil”—thinks he will stroll off and look for wintergreen berries. “Jimflint” wanders into the woods and practices “chapels.” Boliver seats himself on a rock, and with paper and pencil calculates how much he can make from his present Senior class with his circulating library of text-books. Meanwhile “Bab” has fallen asleep. “Fossil” unconsciously thrusts an extra fish line into his pocket and starts out to hunt for new weeds. His wanderings strangely enough bring him to the trout brook, along the bank of which he strolls, search- ing carefully the bottom of the pools for new weeds. The temptation is too strong; in short order the extra line, an alder branch, a grasshopper and a trout make connections. He is so intent on his new discovery (fish will bite on Sunday) that he doesn’t notice “ Billy,” neither does “ Billy,” who is similarly equipped, perceive him until simultaneously each discovers the other. No explanations are needed. The “Major” agrees to take the fish into camp while “Fossil ” returns laden with new specimens. Camp is left at such a time that they may arrive in Orono after dark. Sen-Sen is quite in evidence. � 53 A Sketch, DURING the past year numerous improvements have been made on our campus. To the average college student the most noticeable one would be our new cinder track, but this was made for a material use and not simply to please the eye. There are, however, improvements that attract to a wonderful extent the sense of beauty in the stranger who passes across our campus. As he walks from Oak Hall by Wingate and toward Coburn he will notice that some extensive grading has been done, giving a smooth, rolling surface to the campus which is here and there studded with thick evergreen trees, their dark, deep green making a pleasing contrast with the fresh, light green of the newly mown lawn. But the grandest, the best, the most wonderful and magnificent is yet to come. As he walks slowly along the roadway and passes by the end of a row of evergreens that extend from the President’s house to the road he stops short. One can see by the look of silent admiration on his face that he is beholding something truly grand and wonderful. It is not the work of nature but the work of human hands that he gazes upon. It is the broad, blue expanse of “Chippie’s” frog pond that is stretched out before him. This beautiful body of water is held in place by an immense dam across the stream just above the road and over which the water pours in a silvery cascade, reminding the stranger of some of the scenes he saw while on his trip through Yellowstone Park. The twilight is just falling and he stands there several minutes thoughtfully looking out on the smooth and peaceful surface, drinking in the quiet beauty that only the hour of twilight can give to it. He resumes his steps, wishing that he was a student at the University of Maine that he might continually enjoy these charming surroundings. He stops again and listens ! His reverie is broken by the notes that are wafted across the pond. First they are low and 154 sweet with catchy little trills and quavers, then with a gradual crescendo they become loud and sonorous, showing that the heart of the singer overflows in the sentiment of his song. The words of the song ran thus : — My Bonnie lies over the ocean, My Bonnie lies over the sea, My Bonnie lies over the ocean, O bring back my Bonnie to me ! The stranger is touched by the sentiment and pathos of the song and wonders who the sweet singer may be. As he looks across the water he can see him near the farther shore seated alone in a canoe and drifting quietly over the surface. It is “Chippie ” giving vent to his thoughts in the beautiful song. As the stranger passes on the notes become fainter and fainter, but still clear and sweet as before : — Bring back, bring back, O bring back My Bonnie to me, to me, Bring back, bring back, O bring back My Bonnie to me. 155 JW0 As Seen by Others. FRED WALTER ARMES is a Gardiner ice-cutter. His ice cutting is done on the broad surface of the Kennebec for forty-nine cents a day. He was not chosen to fill his friends cast-off boots, and the blow it near killed Freddie, so he stays at home this term for there is no ice to cut here at college. EBEN PIERCE BASSETT comes up from the Penobscot every time there is a class meeting and lectures on the duty of each and all to invest in class pins. But the price is so piercing that Eben still owns the pins. FRANK LOTHROP BATCHELDER is a long-legged crane from Machias. “ Batch” really thinks he is endowed with military genius, but he is too tall to play Napoleon Bonaparte. If another war should come upon our land Frank’s long legs would soon take him away from the strife. WALLACE EDWARD BELCHER, the question box from Plymouth rock, is a terror to all the faculty and the wonder of the students. Many of his questions cannot be answered even by Boston Bob. One question which has never been answered is how he came to be sergeant. CHARLES ELBERT BLACKWELL injured his eye-sight in the sweet-smelling town of Madison. Yet he can see a class debtor a long way off and is sure to make life miserable for the poor cuss. Let us hope that Charles will not decide to visit Canada after he receives the surplus from the Prism. ALSON EDWARD BOYNTON came from Aina to learn to be a stake-driver. Boynton is a hot civil — in Boynton’s opinion, and Boynton’s opinion is never at fault — in Boynton’s opinion. Therefore as Boynton thinks he is a hot civil, why then Boynton is a hot civil. HOWARD BRETT is a quick spoken (?) young man (?) from Bangor, by------------------. He don’t give a---------for any------ -----fool by-----, and is perfectly willing to say so. He also throws a gun and fingers a banjo, by------. His chief ambition is to be a political boss in his native village and he is likely to get there by-. J. WILSON BROWN is an artistic young man from somewhere outside of Maine. His great failing is his tendency to fall in love. He is a leading light in the Glee Club and his voice reminds one of a planing mill. 153 R. HOODLUM CARLETON is distinguished chiefly for his capacity as a tank. Besides his natural thirst he also has a thirst for military glory, so Rufe is also thirsty. As a sport he is a first magnitude star and a heavy roller. Rufe is known to all the girls from Presque Isle to Bath and he has been seen at the Line House. GENERAL CASEWELL hails from Colbyville. For once in his life he showed good sense by coming here, but then “ Casey ” would not make a good minister so there would have been no use in his entering the Theological Seminary. The General is noted for his tired feeling. HAROLD CLARK often tells us how they run things at Worcester Tech. The only way to shut him off is to tell about life in the primary school and then Clark subsides. “ CY ” CROCKETT has an idea that he can play ball. As he thinks he is a corker it is all right we suppose. It is nice to play ball anyway. “ Cy ” and Palmer like to take trips into the country and give exhibitions, but there would be more money in it if they would take a hand organ along to amuse the children. But then we won’t be too hard on “ Cy ” for he is a really engaging young man, having been engaged just seven times and hopes to be some more, but we would advise him to stop before the list reaches thirteen for that is the unlucky number, so look out, “Cy.” CHARLEY ELMER CROSBY learned practical agriculture down on the farm in Albion and is now studying the theoretical side of it under Mr. Gowell and Chippy. These instructors would break their backs if they should pitch on a load of hay but Charley has been there. He is a better man than his teachers. BUCK DOWNING, the Dover Shylock, is one of the proprietors of the college store, and his chief pleasure is to bleed the students. Marshall is a thorough sport and loves all the girls who love him. We are sorry to say he has one great weakness, his love for quinine, which is something remarkable. Contrary to all precedents this drug has queer effects in his case, tending to happiness and childish glee. We all hope that quinine will never be the means of breaking up a happy home for Marshall. HENRY DREW holds a mortgage on nine-tenths of Bar Harbor, while the Sophomore eleven is said to own the remainder. Drew plays (?) the cornet, or rather thinks he does. To other ears it sounds more like the wailing of the damned. In fact it sounded so realistic to Wescott that he has checked his “ downward ” career. If Harry should go to China, where the worst noises sound sweetest to native ears, he would surely be exalted to a seat on the right of Li Hung Chang. REGINALD LOVEJOY FERNALD directs the destinies of the Glee Club, and incidentally looks after several young ladies. Rex took his Freshman work at Harvard and still thinks that is the only college on earth. We intended to devote a page solely to this boy, but he begged off a few days ago, saying, “It is not quite the right thing to roast a man on the board, you know,” so we had to let him off, but we all hope the next board will expose this innocent-looking little boy. 159 JIM FLINT, JR., is a relic of by-gone days, having descended from the first class that entered these portals. Jim is a hard student but his querulous nature unfits him to successfully encounter the obstacles that lie in a student’s path. He has just informed us that he hopes to graduate with 1901, although he is not such a naughty one himself. Still we think he will make a good man for the class. E. EDDINGTON FORD once took civil but he is now a member, ex officio, of the farmers’ squad. This appointment was given because of his adaptability for the position. There is not much to say about him because he is not much of a subject to talk about, so we will dismiss him with this brief notice, and only wish that he might be put out of sight as easily. ARTHUR HENRY FORTY-ER was born on Indian Island. He is a familiar sight to his instructors because they always have him several years in the same study. “ Jimmie ” Stevens says there is no one like him, and for the first time we agree with J---. Artie is a terror in camp and the corporal into whose detail he happens to fall is in for a time of trouble. In fact our lad likes the neighborhood of the guard tent so well that he may be found there at almost any time during the week. “ Forty ” is sure to make a name for himself in military affairs some day. ARCHIE GROVER is the class invalid. He abhors athletics as on account of his physical infirmities he is unable to take any part. He tried once to put the shot, but it was so heavy that Archie nearly fainted. Since then he tried to sprint but the physicians advised him to quit as he was endangering his life. So Archie has no ambition left in life except to win honors under Billy Lanphear; and he is striving, as hard as his delicate health will permit, to gain these much prized but seldom attained rewards of merit. WILLY WALLY WILDEYE HANEY spends his vacations in the sardine factories of Eastport. He was once in’98 but saw his mistake and promptly dropped back a year. He made a name for himself in Bath, and his earnest search for forbidden fruit, together with the success which comes only to the brave, was the cause of his gaining much fame, and he is remembered in the Shipping City even to the present day. GEORGE WASHINGTON HERSEY, unlike his renowed namesake, will never have the old cherry tree gag told about him. Hersey is a tired young cuss, but as he lives in the sleepy little hamlet on Casco Bay he is not altogether to blame for his indolence. His favorite instrument of torture is the fiddle, and the sounds he produces are equalled only by Drew’s cornet. Physically George stands six feet two inches by two feet six inches more or less, mostly less. He ought to throw the hammer well this spring, and we shall look for him to toss it out one hundred and twenty-five feet at the least. Yet that tired feeling may bother him and he surely needs some good spring tonic as a bracer. HAIRY SANFORD HEYER hails from the amiable town of Friendship. He has also been known to hail an electric car. 160 GEORGE LIBBY HILTON used to drive his father’s hens to water in Bradley. He has a voice like a sheep and a look like a cow, so it is extremely doubtful if there is another type of his species in existence. Some of our naturalists may be able to classify Hilton but we can’t and won’t try. HALL-O HOXIE is a Colby ville type. On his first appearance here he was so warmly greeted by a member of the Stinkotorus family that the foul affair is still remembered. There is but one Hoxie, for which we are truly thankful. Let us pray there may be no more. H. H. LEATHERS is a hot young sport from Hermon, by gosh. He is a talented player on the violin and all the Hermon young ladies are dead stuck on him, by gosh. His old man intended him for a farmer but his legs are so crooked that the pigs used to run between them and now he is going to be a Mechanical, by gosh. R. HUMPUS McPHETERS is what he was named some twenty years ago when his entrance into life alarmed the inhabitants of this college town, but since then he has been called crazy. When but a mere kid he noted the evils which college boys are liable to and during the past three years he has embraced them all. HOWARD S. MADDOCKS of Skowhegan is now lying in bed on account of injuries received in the railway accident near Orono last January. Math’s cheery manner has made him a friend to all and the Glee Club is minus a member. We hope to see him back with us next term none the worse for his smash-up. NED MANSFIELD is a farmer. You might not think so to see him proudly parading the campus, but he has to milk the cows and bed down the sheep, just the same. Ned is a highly religious youth and we really think that he made a mistake in com- ing here, for he would have been a star at the Bangor Theological Seminary. You have met some people who know what there is to be known and ofttimes more. BOSTON BOB MAYO is one of this class. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing, so he thinks; but it has been said that he doesn’t know anything. Boston has practiced long and faithfully on the bugle and is now chief howler on that musical instrument. He was also 49th substitute on the class eleven last fall. BILLY MORELL is one of the college store Jews and he would take the last cent from a man’s pocket. We have always wondered why Billy did not stay at home and go to Amherst Aggie, as that seems the proper place for him. His wild and reckless habits are apt to become the ruination of a bright and promising young man. Billy used to be a hard student and a member of the Y. M. C. A. and we think the latter caused his downfall. Billy just called on us and said that as long as he was Editor- in-Chief he didn’t propose to be roasted a----bit, so we will say no more though we could talk of him for hours. RENA EMERALD MORRISETTE was once known in Stillwater and her memory is still green there. She brings sunshine into many souls as she modestly trips over the campus. She is a firm believer in woman’s rights and often extemporates on the rear platform of the “ Boo” cars. When Myra graduates there will be weeping and wailing among her acquaintances, for to know her is to 1--------her. 161 SPUD MOSHER first saw the light of day in Presque Isle. How he ever survived the intense cold of that Arctic region is a mystery for he is not so warm. His beautiful shape was acquired by eating Aroostook potatoes and he strides over the country as a potato-bug crawls over the vines. Spud’s manly proportions and soft voice com- bine to make him a general favorite with the fair sex. F. A. MOULTON is another victim of the railroad accident. Whether it was the shock of the accident or the result of having his hair cut that caused his sickness we are unable to say. Moulton dearly loves to wear his military uniform even though unadorned by stripes or chevrons. BILL MURRAY is a thorough-bred tough. You might not suspect it to look at him, but he has a temper like a meat-axe and a disposition like a rhinoceros. He don’t care a-----for any-----man and will tell you so on very slight provocation. But no one cares a-----for him, so he never has a chance to get into trouble if he would. HOD NELSON is not as swift as his famous namesake, but on the contrary is very, very slow. As he moves his ponderous carcass over the ground it shakes beneath his tread and the trees tremble for fear. He has been asked to play on the ’varsity eleven, but refused to do so for fear of hurting his opponent. JOCK NOYES is a dabbler in all athletic sports and causes those who know him not to think he is a corker. The only trouble with Jock is that he is too lazy to move, so he is not very swift. If he would drop all other sports and forget his military aspira- tions he might prove a star at playing — marbles. H. H. OSWALD is a typical old salt and possesses all the vices and none of the virtues of a common sailor. He is a man of gigantic stature, standing 6 ft. 6 with his stock- ings on, but these are so strong that they lift him about three feet from the ground. Ozzie’s chief ambition is to be a pirate and he has all the qualities necessary to make a good one. He is now making preparation to visit the North Pole next summer, and we hope he will marry some fair damsel and settle down there. Herman has visited many strange lands and unfortunately he still lives to tell the tales. EDW. EVERETT PALMER is trying to follow in his brother’s footsteps, but his feet are too large. He will never be a minister, for though his reputation for piety in Bridgton may be 212° F. it is O0 here. Ed. plays some base-ball, a little foot-ball and runs a bit. There have never been any natural gas wells discovered in Maine, but we think he must have lived near one at some time in his life. This has made him a good man for the ring and it is very likely that he will go against the ex-cham- pion in a talking match some day. MARK H. POWELL is one of the farmers and also a native mucker. When very young he recognized the evils prevalent among college students and resolved to start a reform when his presence should adorn the campus. So Powell is now looked up to as a bright and shining light in the institution, being courteous in man- ner, gentle in speech and more than conscientious in the work on the farm, where he pulls more weeds than any other man in his course. 162 MILDRED LIGHTHEART POWELL is unfortunately a sister to the preceding speci- men. She takes great interest in all her studies, especially Physics, and is conse- quently one of Jimmie’s favorite pupils; and we expect that she will be an instructor in that popular course some day. WHISKERS JO. PRETTO came here from Quebec seven years ago. He puts up a big bluff on the diamond, where his chief ability is getting his base on balls. The last time he hit the ball was also the first and Whiskers was much surprised thereat. When he appears on the diamond he reminds one very much of a fair-sized mosquito running around. RALPH HUBBARD SQUASH ROCKWOOD was sent to this institution as a spy from a neighboring college to see if we paid more than they for athletics. He once belonged to ’98, but recognized the failings of that class and decided that ’99 suited him better. He soon turned traitor to the college which sent him here and says “To h------with Colby.’’ He is a familiar sight on the campus and may be seen at any hour of day or night. CHUMP C. SCOTT is a hard subject to write upon. His lofty and manly presence is so awe-inspiring that we fear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about him. When he sings in chapel the rafters shake in harmony with his song. SPARKEN STANLEYSIDER is a mathematician. When he left Waldodoro he knew that 2 plus 2 equal 4. Since then he has learned many things. COME LATE SMALL is a military genius. He is pushing Batch hard for Major next year, though we hardly think that either of them will get there. He has a head like General Grant, a body like Napoleon and feet like Grinny Grover. So it is plain to see that he combines the best qualities of three illustrious men. AFTER A WHILE STEPHENS is a red-headed youngster from Old Town. Reddy is a star in Mechanics and knows more about the stars than Janie Hart. In fact, what Reddy don’t know would fill a book while his actual knowledge would be printed on a 2 x 4 flyer. Still he has a mission in the world, we suppose, and all unite in hoping that his missionary work will be among the Hottentots. ELONGATED MOUTH SMITH, the toothless lad from Gardiner, is a sight to behold. Smithy’s parents thought he was eating too much, so they had his molars extracted one stormy night. Ed. will be a holy sight this spring as the bold legions of the war department march under his leadership. The tall bear-skin which he wears will be a striking offset to the ever-present T. D. and his high-water pants tend to make him look neat and trig. SILENT STINSON from the rainy city is so called because of his lacking speech organs. He talks so little and Boston Bob talks so much that they make an ideal pair of room-mates. OFTEN OVER STOVER is the naturalist and religious man of the class. The only time he was ever known to approach profanity was when he made a mistake while 163 skinning a skunk and then O. O. said gosh dam. He will undoubtedly go to China as a missionary and we expect that in a few years there will be a lot of young Chinese Stovers running around. JOHN HUMPBACK SWAIN is a Skowhegan swain. When only a boy, he fell in love with a school-mate. When the time came to seek a higher education they sepa- rated, she going to Colby while he came here. Instead of diminishing, separation but increased the ardor of their love, and the bills for postage were amazingly heavy. The next summer the two became one, and Colby lost a student. MRS. J. H. SWAIN is the larger and better half of the foregoing type of a Kennebec river-driver. She tried to induce John to enter Colby but failed in her persuasions, and now she is glad she is not in “ that horrid place.” MEALEY MOUTH VEAZIE is one of the few hard students in the class and expects to have the valedictory when he graduates. If he was the only member of the class he might have his expectations rewarded, but as it is we fear he is doomed to disappointment. Veazie is very temperate in his ways and will make a MARK in the world. ARTHUR CON WESCOTT hails from the quiet little country town known as Portland. Artie’s cat-like gait is often seen on the campus, and his lofty and manly presence is characteristic of the dance halls where the court-plaster push is wont to congregate. There are but few like him, and it is well for the class. CHARLES COMFORTABLE WHITTIER is another victim of the Orono railway horror. Whether or not he is as comfortable as his name implies we are unable to say. Charles is one of those ‘‘who thirst for military glory,” and his thirst has never yet been quenched. 164 And push dem clouds away ! O Reuben, Reuben, we’ve been thinking What a strange thing you would do, If you should chance to leave off drinking And go to live in Caribou. 165 Near the end of the fall term of ’97 a list was handed to a certain com- mittee of our faculty by Mr. Bounce Webster of the Senior class. It is a rule with Mr. Webster to keep a duplicate of all such lists for future reference. He did it in this case, but unfortunately — for the future reference—this important document was lost and was not found until some time after, when it was put into our hands. Whether this really had anything to do with Mr. Webster’s taking his examinations at the beginning of the following term is not known. Thinking, however, that he would undoubtedly need such a copy at some future time and that it might also prove of some little interest and assistance to others, we have decided to publish such part of the list as our space will allow. Any who would like a copy of the complete list please send address to Business Manager of Prism. To the Faculty of the University of Maine: Gentlemen — I submit the following excuses for absence occurring the past term in Constitution:— Sept 7 u 10 it 18 u 23 it 30 Oct. 4 a J3 i 18 u 20 (t 21 it 23 Oct. 24- Called to telephone on foot-ball business.

Nordica sang in Bangor that evening. A number of the college boys went down to hear her. After the concert they had to run in order to catch the last car going to Orono and so there was no time to visit the lunch cart. They were hungry and the ten-mile ride to college in the electric didn’t have a very filling effect. Hunger will drive a man to do anything. At any rate one of the number who has a record as a sprinter—and is very nearly a rover so to speak — by a circuitous path found his way to the back entrance of the glass house, a con- nection of the college, in which tomatoes are grown. The outer door yielded, the inner one stood partly open and everything seemed to have a “ walk-right- in” appearance. Of course our young friend didn’t refuse, but after going along the passage a few paces, incidentally placing a tomato in his pocket now and then, his attention was called to the sound of the opening of a door in another part of the building. Suspecting burglar alarms he retreated, but as he hastened back he could hear the stealthy tread of feet on the walk outside of the building. He quickened his pace, burst out through the door and jumped around the corner of the building and spurted. As he dashed away, two figures dressed in night apparel rushed after him, one shouting, “We’ve got him this time, sure.” The thief convinced them differently. The contents of a shot-gun were emptied in the near vicinity of the tomato eater, while the immodest spooks tried to keep up and incidentally overtake the thief. After frantic dashes through the shrubbery, under the low-hanging boughs of the fir trees and over ditches, they discovered something,—they didn’t have the thief. Everybody knows Darby Ellis. Many regret it and few rejoice therein. Everybody knows him as a combination undefinable, unexampled. “Where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise,” also the less you know Darby the more you will think of him. Since he came to college he has doubled his importance every year and at the time of this writing stands next to “ Bounce ” Webster and next above Perkins, 1900. His principal hobby is Darby. He has had his nose broken many times but his nerve never. His principal characteristic is the lack of a redeeming characteristic. While at home he tells his “folks” how wicked the boys are and of his fruitful efforts in Y. M. C. A. work. We haven’t anything against Darby, but he came around one day with a special request that we would please not roast him, and if we did not to let on that he smoked or chewed or drank or had peculiar social inclinations, in the neigh, boring towns, “for,” said he “me folks don’t know anything about it, you know, kee, hee! ” New Year's Resolutions. 1.

For he wished and hoped they’d give to him What would quench his thirst so great. But they lifted him up and cast him out And pulled him over the door, And the fellow resolved when they left him alone He’d never go there any more. 169 To '98. We’ve often heard of ’98, Of “precedents” that came too late; Of all the people here, they are The wisest ones, we think (?) by far. But before they leave us here alone, Their magic presence to bemoan, And go abroad the world to fill, We hope they’ll pay their Prism bill. As Billy Rides.

We believe that their track team which has been recently organized is without an equal. The records which they are capable of making will be a great surprise to many, it is said. A glance at the accompanying photograph will convince any one of the excellent qualities of the team. Our “co-eds” after much deliberation chose Mr. Swain, a man well versed in the ways of women, as their manager, and it is prophesied that his management will be a success, although a contrary opinion is expressed by some of the boys who were his rivals for the position. 171 P. Moore and His Bed. I can see a boy. His name is P. Moore. Can the boy see me ? Yes, if his collar is not too high. What makes the boy so mad ? He has lost his bed and is trying to find it. Can the bed walk ? Yes, the bed can walk. It walked down to the river. Can the bed swim ? Yes, it swam out and crawled up on a pier in the middle of the river. Can the bed talk? Yes, the bed can talk. What does it say ? I will tell you later. What does “ P.” do ? He follows the bed tracks down to the river bank. Can “ P.” swim ? No, “ P.” can’t swim. Can “ P.” talk? Yes, “P.” can talk. What can he say ? “P.” can say damn. Can’t he say anything else ? Not for fifteen minutes. Then he says: “ Bed, won’t you come back to me ? ” “I don’t think,” says the bed, “ I don’t like you any more, ‘ P.’ ” “ Why don’t you like me any more, Bed ? ” “Oh, I got tired of holding up nothing.” 17a “Bounce” and “Check” had but one canteen on their trip to the Iron Works. At the first sight of a deer “ Bounce’s” wheels increased their speed and instead of firing his rifle he threw the canteen at it. Unfortunately the stopper came out and the precious fluid was spilled. This, together with the non-appearance of the order from Bangor, so incensed “Check ” that he vowed never to go in the woods again with “ Bounce” and spend $15.00. An advertisement in the Commercial July 1st, ’98. “ Having bought out Billy Townsend’s, I have engaged Reuben J------as head clerk. The patronage of all undergraduates is solicited. C. S.

Johnny had a supply of beakers, but not of the “material.” What did Bosun say when he read the sign over the sink ? “Bounce” says he can’t pull “Allie’s ” leg. We are glad that one Prof, at least is “ on to him.” All those who attended the whist party given the last night of camp in Bath voted that the guest in the uniform of a Second Lieutenant of Infantry, U. S. A., was a jolly good fellow. 173 A Family Resemblance Jim Flint (hearing a strange howling in the distance). — If Gibbs, ’79, was here I should think that was he.” Spike. — “ Well, I guess it is Gibbs, ’98.” Dowie — “I don’t think much of that organization as they don’t recognize my church.” Bug (looking surprised) — “ What in-------is your church ?

Tape—Go ask the corporal of your squad. M. G. B.—All ri-i-ght. B-y-t—I can raise $500 any time with a week’s notice. D-w—I wish you would raise that $5.00 you owe me.

If there are 5,000 cubic yards, find the thickness of the crust. Let X = thickness of crust. Then 20 X 10 X X = volume of crust. 200 X = 135,000. X = 675 feet. — Ans. •Weare j?lad to say this is the worst case in the Freshman class. 176 Cheeser Wescott at the Board. Whenever difficult problems arise in Mechanics we have some one on whom we can always rely for a complete explanation. One day when there was a long demonstration in the lesson our instructor called upon Cheeser to put it on the board. Slowly but confidently he arose, laid aside his overcoat, smoothed his hair, and after looking well to the creases in his trousers, started toward the board with an air that seemed to say : — I’m tall and stately and very slow to move, But of my fiz you surely must approve. The demonstration was unusually hard and a little help from the instructor was necessary in getting the relation of the angles clearly in mind, but when this little difficulty was overcome he became the complete master of the situa- tion and proved something entirely new and unique to the rest of us, viz. : _ hypothenuse cos. 0 = -if—:------- horizon. 177 Quotations Applied If he but held his peace he might be counted wise.—“Willie” Burgess.

THE GREAT BASE-BALL GAME BETWEEN THE FACULTY AND THE SENIOR CLASS. Will '98 Get Their Diplomas? is the Question of the Hour. [.Stillwater Chronicle.] The base-ball game this afternoon on the University diamond between the Faculty and the graduating class of the University was as exciting as the large crowd of spectators could have wished for. The game ended in a row, the Senior scorer accusing the Faculty scorer of cheating. These two factions have been strong rivals for the past four years and a sharp contest was assured. The story of the game is as follows : — The Faculty won the toss as usual and sent ’98 to the bat. “ Darby ” Ellis was the first man up and walked to the plate with a confident air. “Chippie” drew a long breath, blew out a cloud of cigarette smoke and sent in a hot out which “ Darby ” couldn’t reach. He went after the next two but didn’t connect and went to the bench. “ Reddie ” hit the first ball pitched out into “Jimmie’s” ter- ritory and it should have been good for two bases, but “Jimmie” figured by the estimation of tenths where the ball ought to be and threw it to sec- ond, so “ Reddie ” got but one base. “ Dugan ” hit to Woods and was out. “ Jap ” couldn’t stop talking long enough to pay attention to “ Chip- pie’s ” sharp curves and struck out. “ Bolivar ” was up first for the Faculty. “ Reddie ” tossed up an easy one and the professor lit on it, as he has on many an erring student. The ball went in a line across the diamond, taking “ Fuzzie ” in the place where he stows his beer, and bounded into the air to fall in “Jap’s” hands, and he threw it to first just as “ Bolivar ” made a mighty slide. It was a close decision but the umpire called it out, even though Harvey Thayer said, “ They would not do so at Ha-vad.” “Jimmie” Stevens’ crit- ical eye stayed by him in good shape and he hit safe to right, getting two bases. “ Fossil ” couldn’t make con- nections and struck out. Woods hit so hard at the first one that he whirled 186 around three times and then sat down, shaking the earth so hard that the good people of Stillwater thought an earthquake had taken place. The next ball was hit to “ Dugan, and the side was out. In the second inning ’98 came to the bat full of confidence. Whitte- more was the first up and hit a hot grounder to Woods, who made a pretty stop but he was unable to find the ball for some time because it was so near his feet, and while hunting for it “ Whit made good time around to second. “ Fuzzie hit one of “ Chippie’s ” swift in-shoots right in the eye, and the ball sailed over the diamond as though it was going to the fence, but “ Allie made a phe- nomenal jump and one-handed catch and touched Whittemore off second. “ Dowie now carefully selected his “ wagon-tongue and stepped to the plate. “Chippie looked him squarely in the eye for half a minute with a piercing look that queered “ Dowie ” so badly that the first ball pitched struck him on the hip, breaking his lubricator, and he walked to first. He said afterward that it was the first time he had ever been queered. “Bill Smith now came up and met one fair for a long drive to right field, but “ Bolivar had his transit out there and with its aid got quickly in front of the ball and held it. Thus ’98 was retired without scoring. “ Honey was up first for the Fac- ulty but he could not judge “Reddie’s aldermanic, abdominal drops and he “fanned. “Allie did better, putting a high one to right, but “ Her Maj- esty was right there and caught it in her apron. “ Johnnie’s arms were not long enough to swing clear so he had to bunt, but Whittemore came down the base-line, got the ball and put it across to first like a bullet. “Johnnie made a brilliant sprint but was out, and the second inning ended without either side scoring. The “Queen came to the bat with blood in her eye. She made a vicious swing at the first one pitched and it sailed into left field, where it should have been an easy out; but just then “Fossil saw a beautiful butterfly and went in pursuit of it, forgetting all about the game. “Honey seeing the ball strike exclaimed : “Wher-r-re is Pr-r-rofessor-r-r Har-r-rvey ? and then trotted after the ball, while Woods sat down on third to hold it. The “ Queen made a beautiful slide and knocked Woods off the base just as the ball was thrown in. Seeing that “ Fossil was half a mile away in his chase, “Allie put Gowell in left gar- den. “ Darby dropped his bat on “Jim ’’ Flint’s pet corn and “It was called up with his water pail, but to no use, and “Jim left the game, while “ Grinnie took his place. For this offence “ Darby was declared out. 187 “ Reddie ” hit up an easy one to “Honey” who caught “ Queen ” off third, and ’98 was retired. Things looked dark for the Faculty as two good men were out of the game, but “Chippie” hit one just over “Fuzzie’s” head and reached first. “ Grinnie ” hit the first one a mighty blow and it took “ Reddie full in the stomach and bounded back of the foul board. Here a mighty row ensued, “ Hungry ” Higgins claiming it should be called a foul, and in the meantime “Grinnie” reached first and “ Chippie ” went to second. Barron got a pole and rolled “ Reddie ” off the field and “Jack” Frost went into the box. “ Bolivar ” had a good chance to win a name for himself but could not and struck out. “Jim- mie” was greeted with cheers as he came up, and he hit safe. Gowell said he would not bat with one of those “danged clubs,” and used his barn shovel. He tried to scoop the first one and it flew up taking him in the eye, and he went to the bench. Woods hit to the “ Queen ” who fum- bled it, and “Chippie” ran in the first score, but the “Queen” made a beau- tiful throw and cut “ Grinnie ” off at the plate. The fourth was a hummer. “ Du- gan” hit a hard one to “Chippie,” and taking a sudden bound it hit the pro- fessor between the eyes, laying him out. “Dugan ’ sat down on first and laughed while “It” threw water on the disabled hero. “ Lampus ” took his place and the game was resumed. “Jap” was the next man up. “Lam- pus” shifted the chew to the other side of his face and gave “Jap” his base. Whittemore got hit in the ribs and re- tired in favor of Barron. Three men were on bases and “ Fuzzie ” at the bat. It was a thrilling moment. Two strikes were called. The moment still thrilled, but the next one was a dandy and the ball went sailing out into space while “Dugan” and “Jap” came home. “Lampus” took a bracer and struck “ Dowie ” out. He tried to repeat this trick on “ Bill ” Smith, but the latter got revenge and knocked out a two bagger, sending in Barron and “Fuzzie.” Here it was discovered that Gowell was down in the road talking cow with a passing farmer, and “ Janie ” was sent into left. “ Lampus ” hit “ Queen ” and she walked. “ Darby ” struck out as usual, and for once in his life “Jack” Frost followed suit. “Honey” came up first for the Fac- ulty. Frost tossed up a nice easy one and “Honey” fouled it. The next one was a dandy and it went sailing into left garden. “ Dowie ” fell all over himself chasing it and hurt his knee, while “ Honey ” got around to third. Bryant was put in “ Dowie’s ” place and “ Allie ” hit a hot one to the new player, who tried 18S to catch it in his hat but failed, and “Honey scored while “Allie reached second. “ Johnnie ” hit a lively one to “ Jap, and it went sailing through his hands and “ Johnnie ” got to first. “ Lampus tried to distinguish him- self but failed to connect. “Grinnie” singled and “ Allie ” scored. “ Boli- var ” struck out. “Jimmie” Stevens was the next up, and the large crowd arose and cheered as that mighty hitter came to the plate. He ac- knowledged the respect paid him by a gentle raising of the cap, and then turned to face the pitcher. It was a moment of suspense and not a sound could be heard. “Jack” Frost tucked away the pieces of paper on which he had just figured out the cosine of the required angle, stuck the pencil in his hair and made a mighty throw. “Jimmie” met it fair for a long drive to centre, and sent “Johnnie” and “ Grinnie ” home while he reached second. The cheering was tremen- dous, and the Faculty hugged them- selves for they thought the game was already won. “Janie” put a damper on the enthusiasm by hitting up an easy one to “ Jap,” and the side was out. “Dugan” walked up with his stately air and drove down the base-line by “Honey” for a single. “Jap got his base on balls. Barron reached first on a passed ball. “Fuzzie” hit an easy one and was out. Bryant had a chance to do good work, but proved that he is of no earthly use and struck out. “Queen” put in a fresh chew of gum, spaton her hands and knocked one over “Bolivar’s head for a home run, and the bases were cleared. After the long-continued cheering had sub- sided it was noticed that the scorers were having a serious dispute. “Hun- gry ” claimed that the other scorer had not kept his records correctly. “You are a liar,” said “Hungry,” and he smote the other between the eyes. A hot row followed and it was only with great difficulty that the contest- ants were parted. Neither side wished to continue the game and it was declared off. As five innings had not been played nothing could be settled by the result. We intended to give a detailed score, but concluded not to as our book differed from those of the official scorers. The players were : — Ninety-Eight. Ellis, c.; Edwards, p. ; Frost, p. ; Dugan, i ; Jap Merrill, 2; Whittemore, 3; Fuzzie, s.; Dowie, 1.; Bryant, 1.; Bill Smith, m.; Queen Fer- nandez, r.
