HEx KY • ic ' Ot ouD, ® NOTHER link has detached itself from the chain of ages and fallen into the abyss of the past. Another class has sepa- rated itself from us and gone forth into the busy world to strike for themselves, leaving those who are behind to press forward into their vacant places and prepare for a similar leap at the ap- pointed time. Again, by the new faces appearing amongst us, we ar3 constantly reminded that the wheel of time has turned once more, bringing another class in sight, ready to join hands with us while marching forward in the search for knowledge, able and will- ing to maintain their j)art in college duties. And it is these changes, as also the changes in our private hves and doings, that we are called upon at this time to notice and record. In fact, we present to you the fourth volume of The Index, a name significant of its con- tents, as containing facts and fancies pointing in some measure to the character and good will of all connected in any way with our College. The publication of The Index by the Junior classes, has become, we hope, a fixed thing, one that will be kept up and con- tinued by the classes in the future. The class of ' 74, not lacking in the spirit of former classes, has taken up this pleasant task, handed down to them by their predecessors, and have in full time, by their editorial corps, exerted t hemselves to make this issue fully equal to those of the past, while endeavoring to go. beyond them in its ex- cellence and worth as far as possible. The curriculum of the College has been somewhat changed or modified of late, and now we have a complete course in Veterinai-y Science, which may be considered of great advantage to all con- 4 T HE Ind ex. cerned. A change has likewise occiiiTed in the Mihfcary depart- ment, and a new man in blue has been given us to salute in the office and in the ranks. In the M. A. C. Cadets the Seniors have commenced their lives as commissioned officers ; the Juniors and Sophs, theirs in lesser grades, and all unite in trying to make the poor Freshmen hold up their heads and march to the proper tune. We are glad to see the Faculty of the College exerting thems elves too, for we students had fallen into a deplorable state of inaction, and though the fault lies with ourselves in a great measure, we can ' t but help seeing that a screw has been loose somewhere. By the low standard of admission that has been in practice, many have en- tered the institution, who have neither benefited themselves nor others, but have, on the other hand, been the means of positive in- jury to all. This we see the Faculty are commencing to obviate by a more thorough examination of new students, and requiring more from those already entered. Although only a commencement has been made, we are rejoiced to see it, and more of the same, and will welcome the day when a flunk (in college language) will be considered a strange and rare thing. In our private lives, too, the Faculty seem to have become imbued with a parental anxiety for our comfort and health, so that now we are favored with a weekly visit from LHusjiedeur, compelling some of us, we can but say, to work on the day set apart for rest. Our Professors are, as a general thing, what they should be, — skilled in their several departments, and capable of imparting their knowledge to others ; possessing, in most cases, the good-will and resj)ect of the students. We hope they will continue to occupy theu ' respective positions in public and private life, though as to the latter some are meditating a serious change. During the past collegiate year two college-mates have gone from us, taken, after a short illness in both cases, by the reaper Death, reminding us that we all are but dust, and to dust we shall all return. Classmates, turning to you, we might ask with what enjoyment and how satisfactory have been all our meetings and gather- ings together, but it is needless so to do. Suffice it to say, that in all our participations, the best of order has been maintained, the strictest rules of tem])erance as well as those of gentlemaril con- duct have been observed, and none but the most amicable senti- ments have been sustained among us. How many of those still re- maining, can, in after years, when age has wrapped its fleecy mantle TheIndex. 5 about them, revert their thoughts to the reminiscences of college life, without feeling a most passionate desire to see once more seated around a festive board at Fitch ' s the class of ' 74, and listen to their jokes and puns which were ivont to set the table in a roar ? Not one ! No ! Many and pleasant will be the reflections cast upon our college hfe, and upon those with whom we wandered upon the banks of the yet unexplored river of Knowledge, hand-in-hand, with Hope for our Anchor, and Faith for our Guide. Strike, but heae ! has always been our motto, and may it ever be. May we ever be ready and willing to do, but at the same time listen to the counsel of others more experienced and older than our- selves, and retain our rank in that sphere of independence becom- ing every man and every station. In closing, we (the editors) whose lot it has been to have the managing and editing of The I DEx, hope that our work will meet with the approval of all, be the harbinger of many noble, pleasant thoughts and acts, as well as the source of much merriment. If any offense is taken it will be considered as due to the peculiar dis- position of the personages, and not to be attributed to ourselves, as no offense is intended. For the fourth and last time is ' 73 represented in The Index. The former communications from our class have been characterized bj their wit, and their pleasing allusion to the jokes and cheerful events of the past year. But as we are now situated in the evening of our college life, with the future, filled with the many stern reidi- ties so near at hand, our thoughts are naturally drawn into deeper and more serious channels. Perhaps the one question vvrhich comes home to each one of us with more earnestness than any other, is. Have the three years which we have spent here been rightly and profitably improved, and ai ' e we sufficiently compensated for the time and money which we have here expended ? It is indeed true that many, perhaps all of us, have wasted many precious moments and allowed many opportunities to go unimproved. We have also pursued many studies here, which in after life may be of no prac- tical importance to any of us. But on looking back over the three years which have passed away since first we entered these College halls as verdant Freshmen, we feel that our progress has been in many respects satisfactory. We have found here many new ideas, have stored away a vast amount of useful information, aud have passed through a course of mental training and discipline, which we hope will hereafter place us in positions of trust and honor among our fellow citizens. Yes, we are satisfied, and we shall go forth from here feeling that our time has not been altogether wasted, and 7 W TheIndex. hoping tliat we may turn the information and knowledge, which we have here stored away, to vakiable account. But this, as has been before stated, is the last communication from ' 73 to The Index, and to all of us it is a sad thought. It is true that we have long been looking forward to graduation day as the final consummation of our happiness. We have been eager to quit the sometimes dull monotony of college life, and to go forth and try our fortunes with others in the great world around us. But as the time draws near, and as we begin to perform, one by one, this and that duty for the last time, these feehugs give way to those of sad- ness and reflection. The cords of affection which have so long bound us together, seem to tighten at the thought of separation, and love for our Alma Mater increases as the parting draws near. It is hard to think that the time is so near at nand when the old class will break up, probably never to meet again an unbroken circle, and also that our life as students, in many respects so pleasant, will so soon end. In closing, we are happy to say that we are not at all ashamed of the record which we leave behind us. We have ever held the re- spect and esteem of all the classes with whom we have been con- nected- In athletic sports we leave an unspotted record. Our class nine has never suffered a defeat. In the rowing regattas at Ingleside and Springfield the muscle of ' 73 has been freely and profitably expended. We have two qualities which we feel safe in advising our successors to imitate ; they are, the unity, and class- pride which have ever characterized ' 73. Yes, we love our old col- lege home and are loth to leave it, but as in the natural course of events partings and separations must come, we put on a cheerful face and bid the readers of The Index a long farewell. W. ffM Two years of onr college life have passed away, and, as we are starting on the third, our annual contribution to The Index is called foi. As we look back through the past year upon that sunny autumn, when we felt for the first time that we were no longer the et cetera ; upon the cold winter, when one ' s fireside was the most comfortable place this side of home ; upon the bright summer, when we were wont to gather around the stately form of some pro- fessor, and tell, with boyish delight, of Angles, Kingk and Reformers, or What we knew about ar ra ' nc ; when we look upon all this that has passed, a feeling of sadness comes over us. Not that we have neglected duty, far from it, but that one place in this happy circle is vacant, never again in this hfe to be filled. And however long we may be spared to life ' s work, we shall always remember the happy countenance, the kind words and the Christian example of our classmate Clark. Feeling that what was our loss has resulted in his eternal gain, we are willing to leave it in the hands of Him who doeth all things weU. With the Faculty we are on the best of terms, having done noth- ing to merit their displeasure, not even having bolted without wait- ing the required time. And no one can fail to see how highly they estimate our abilities, if they but read the routine for the present term. For, to aid us in the digestion of our great intellectual feast, a Physical portion is given us as dessert, which, by the way, is one of the most substantial and hearty dishes of the feast. In Veterinary Science we are progressing finely, under the guidance of our new Professor in this depariment ; and any one not acquainted with us (or the language) would think German our native tongue. Our work in the Horticultural department has been very pleasant, thus far, as the path to the scene of action passes through the vineyard, and onions grow not there. In Agriculture our progress has been TheIndex. 9 rapid, liaviag gone thi ' ough, or as we might say, over, the different kinds of farms, and arrived at cranberries, which, by the way, are studied here entirely by theory. But few, as yet, have shown themselves dangerous rivals of Booth in the rendering of Shakespeare ; but, in the words of one of our number, we arn ' t through, yet. In Military Science we are quite expert, having had both theory and practice combined, which, as we all know, ' makes perfect. In conclusion we can say, that, having come off victorious in all games of science during the past year with ' 75, (who, like the old salt , commenced with nothing, and have held their own ever since) we feel competent for the task of sustaining ourselves, during the rest of our course, as honorably as we have heretofore, and then with sheep-skins under our arms, take up the song, — ' Farewell to College duties, Farewell to Amherst We ' re going home. D. The class of ' 75 enters upon its Sophomore year with but little diminution of its original number. In our Freshmen year we were called upon to mourn the death of one beloved classmate, whom we trust is now beyond the pale of sin and sorrow. The transition from Freshmen to Sophomores has deprived us of some able men, some indeed, who, in the language of one that has gone from us, could manipulate the cue, and agitate the ivories with a precision unequalled ; others there have been, who, having taken aU chapel exercises, would follow the mazy and intricate paths of Agricultural Science oftentimes once in a week or more. But the loss of these men was to be expected. The great world called upon them to let their light shine in other fields of action, and they responded. Let it be the endeavor of every man in the class, through scholarship and ability, to compensate for the loss of those thus early called in. In regard to our studies, we flatter ourselves that we are as far advanced as previous classes were at this stage of their college life. One of our number has already received a prize scholarship, to ob- tain which, must have cost no small amount of unremitting applica- tion to study. Our respected instructor in Mathematics and in Military Art, has been superseded in the last named by one whose fitness for that branch of instruction none would be so rash as to question. As chemists, at this particular time, we are searching for the base, but don ' t always find it, as many a treacherous test tube could testify. Nevertheless we shall endeavor to press on toward the goal, which is, of course, with those of us who intend to farm it, to analyze our soils, and eventually cause all those unscrupulous persons, who at the present time vend their third rate fertihzing compounds, to migrate to that section where chemists are unknown. But enough of hopes and aspirations ; let us turn to that subject ever fraught with interest to the dignified Soi)h., the hapless Freshy ! What a paternal interest we have taken in them ! How TheIndex. 11 faithfully we have endeavored to initiate them into the many minor points of college life. Some generous spirits, having their future welfare at heart, favored them quite early in their college career with a visit, and when the ominous Sophomoric rap resounded in their ears, with what alacrity did they open unto us, and produce the calumet together with the weed that lulls, but doesn ' t agitate, and tremblingly invite us to fall to. In hazing we have never indulged, knowing well it would be be- neath the dignity of ' 75. ' Tis true we did invite one hero of ' 76 to remove his outer habihments and prepare himself for the embrace of kindly Moipheus. Need I say that this modest request was com- plied with, notwithstanding the disinterested advice of ' 74 to the contrary ? In regard to Rushes, we have had but one decided one, and then were challenged by ' 76. We responded to the urgent ap- peals for ' 75 to appear, and, though the night was extremely dark, the result will never be published in the annals of those brave but rash Freshmen. Thus we have briefly glanced over some of the leading points of interest in our Sophomore year thus far. It vnll be our endeavor to maintain the record thus far creditable, throughout the remain- der of our course. May all of us, when called upon to fight hfe ' s battles in after years, be able to say that our Alma Mater never had cause to blush for us during our college course. K. Wm The class of ' 76 enters College with her members numbering thirty-seven. Not as large a number as were reported to be coming at the commencement of the term, but we hope the difference be- tween the actual and expected number wiU be ma de up partially, if not wholly, in the second term. Among us, four different States and one foreign country (Japan) are represented ; the four States being New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, of which Massachusetts sends more than two-thirds of the whole number ; thus showing that the people of this State are alive to the advantages of an Agricultural College, and that they intend, by sending their sons to it, to give them through life the benefit of a thorough scientific education. The Sophs have treated us very well thus far. To be sure a few doors have been tested by them, and one or two Freshmen have re- ceived practical instructions in chemistry (experiments with sul- phuretted hydrogen); but such things must be looked upon as due to an overflow of animal spirits. As regards rushes , we have had one, or rather, several closely following each other on the same evening. In these, we flatter our- selves that we came out a little ahead. We endeavored, and we hope succeeded, in showing them that we were not deficient in pluck, and that the spirit of ' 76 burned as brightly as it did a hundred years ago. ' 74 has kindly offered to assist us in all class matters; such as forming our corps of rushers, filling the office of moderator, etc., for which we are, of course, grateful to them. They try to make us feel that, although we are much persecuted Fresh- men, we have friends upon whom we may rely in time of need, and always find consolation. As in all classes, so in ours, there are some odd names on the list. Most curious of all is. our having three bearing the same surname. The Index. 13 Let us hope that at least one of them may equal in standing and in declamation, the student of ' 75 of the same name. Of military drill and farm work, so far most of us have had a sufficiency. A few brave spirits, however, seem to be unable to get enough of work, and if they retain their present relish for it during the year, an astonishing amount will have been performed. By that time they will probably be able to tell us what they know about farming. We endeavor to do our best in both of these branches; but, as many ct us are green hands, no doubt our best is but poor. We hope, nevertheless, by perseverance, to be able to stand high in all departments ; and, by trying on all occasions to conduct ourselves in a gentlemanly manner, to so improve, that the College will some day be proud of us, both individually and as a class.

At all seasons of the year its interior is woi ' thy of the closest examination, which cannot prove otherv ise than pleasing and instructive. While in the summer season its garden and grounds are ornamented with shrubs, trees, and floral adornmsnfcs, which, together with the magnificent scenery which it commands, combine to make it a resort which is admired and frequented by every one. Having as it does many plants representing the vegetation of various countries of the world, the casual observer finds here much of the curious and wonderful, as well as beautiful in nature, in some plant or flower, either by its mode of growth, form, or color, or perhaps by perusing the seem- ingly useless appellation on the label accompanying each plant. But the student or botanist, searching for curiosities and floral gems, meets with good success, for he here finds many plants which he has never seen before. In fact no one, with a love of the beauti- ful in nature, having visited it once can go away without resolving to come again, for a rearrangement of the plants, or some new flower in bloom, gives to the mind a new idea of beauty through its novelty. Among some of the more important plants are the Banyan tree, so celebrated among the Hindoos, the India rubber, the Guava, orange, lemon, the Passiflora Quad7 ' angularis; stretching its broad arms over the rafters, and continually displaying its beautiful and fragrant flowers, the Chilian Pine, New Zealand Flax, Pine Apple, TheIndex. 49 Banana, Coffee, Tea, Sugar ' Cane, Cinnamon, Jf s ' a Textilis, from which the manilla hemp is obtained, the Ohve, an,l several palms. Beside the many economic plants enumerated above, the collection contains many of the ornamental and decorative plants commonly grown in conservatories. As a means of education, it is a necessary adjunct to every institution of learmng- having agriculture and horti- culture for its aim. It opens a wide field of valuable knowledge to the student, and introduces him, through the various manipulations, into that occupation so traly refining, which leads to thought, is so conducive to longevity and the best interests of mankind, and tends constantly to recall his straying thoughts to admire the wonderful works of the Ruling Power of the universe. At the present time the Durfee plant house contains, including species and varieties, between nine hundred and one thousand plants. As regards profit, it is not yet a success ; but should men of means, as many there are in the State, step forward and follow the example of the generous builder. Dr. Nathan Durfee, of Fall River, they would furnish that which the institution demands, as weU as an independent and self-paying department. mt m ORATION, MEMORIAL ADDRESS, BENEDICTION, ODE, James H.
