' 5 And, Eeaders, before we go on, let us beg your kind consideration. Whate ' er there be of good in our little volume, kindly acknowledge it as such, and mercifully pass over our faults, if that be possible. Mercy such as this is indeed twice blessed, even if it is a little strained. The Indexical year, just passed, has been fraught with loss to the College in divers ways. Our beloved and respected President left us in early Spring, for a new field of useful labor at the antipodes, otherwise Japan. At first, this seemed to us a loss, and yet, the thought that our College, after due deliberation and comparison with similar institutions of learning, was chosen from the many, by the government of that far off nation, as a model for the Agricultural College of Japan, and that our honored President, from the fact of his being such, and also, of course, from his own superior qualifications for the position, was selected as the most proper man to found such an institution, and to foster it in infancy, reconciles us to our loss of him, and we count it to ourselves as gain. Ere another twelvemonth has gone by, we hope to welcome his safe return, after a period of labor crowned with perfect success. The College and its ' friends have good cause for honest pride in the selection of two of its Alumni as Professors, the one of Chemistry, the other of Mathematics, in this College at Sapporo. 6 THE INDEX. The second loss sustained by the College, and one not likely soon to be made up, is that of the Professorship and the Professor of Veterinary Science. We deeply regret that the financial status of the College was not in sufficiently good repair to warrant the continuance of the chair of this most useful and too little appre- ciated portion of the curriculum. It has been said by some few, however, that it was not so much the lack of gold, that brought this about, as the great proficiency of the students in this branch. They have even presumed to say that the average student knew, at the end of his Sophomore year, more Veterinary Pathology than the Professor himself. If such was the case, it is easy to see that the immense amount of money annually expended upon this department was wasted, as it were. Whichever explanation of the phenomenon was the correct one, the truth remains ; the Professor has gone, and has taken the chair with him, which same is to be regretted. {Exit Prof., followed by Parkinson, loitli basket.) The last loss to be regretted is that of the men of ' 76. Individually and as a class are they mourned by those they left behind. With us, their former under-classmen, the memories of our early College days will always bring with them pleasant remembrances of each and all of that splendid class, the like of which we hardly expect to see again while we are yet undergrad- uates. Some of them we know to be engaged in various pursuits, all with favorable promise of success, and if each has upon and around him the old class spirit of ' 76, success is certain. We now drink (imaginarily) to their good health and their families ' ; and may they all live long and prosper ! There ' s no great loss without some small gain, and our small gain came in the shape of the class of ' 80. And not so very small a gain, either, for they entered with seventeen men, and several new comers have augmented their roll to the goodly number of twenty. The several departments of the College have prospered, in the past year, exceedingly well. In the Chemical and Agricultural Departments, the work of experiment and practice has gone on as of yore, and with good results. In the Military Department, completeness and perfection in everything appertaining to the education of young men in the deadly, yet politically necessary, science of war, has been aimed at, and great progress made toward the attainment thereof. We were all sorry to lose our TEE INDEX. former Farm Superintendent, for under him the farm prospered well. Visitors were always charmed by his genial, cheerful man- ner, and his kindly welcome lent a touch of pleasure to the otherwise somewhat dull ceremony of looking round the place. His connections with the students were of the most pleasant character, and now, at times, we miss the familiar sight of his sturdy figure, clad in robes of blue, striding through the blos- soming fields, doggedly followed by his faithful canine friend. We wish him all success in the new profession he has chosen. May he increase in this world ' s goods, and lay up treasures in Heaven. Under the wise supervision and fostering care of our newly installed Farm Superintendent, South wick, the Farm has put on a better appearance than it ever before possessed. Great improvements have been made in the way of grading and drainage, where these operations were most necessary to the appearance of the farm and the condition of the soil, and a large amount of land has thus been fitted for cultivation. The crops have all turned out well, both in quality and quantity. The Superin- tendent has good reason to be proud of having obtained so great success in so short a time, and yet greater successes and improve- ments are to be looked for in the near future. The social life of the College, it seems to us, has been improved in many respects. Classes and individuals hold not so much aloof from each other as formerly. Students of all classes mingle together in relations of the most friendly nature, and to such an extent have the restrictions of caste been removed, that the tender Freshmen and the hardened Post-graduate dwell together in unity, forming a veritable happy family. Truly, the Golden Age is at hand ! (Tn the matter of Athletic Sports, a great advance has been made. An association, properly officered and constitutioned, has been formed, having a board of directors, composed of represent- atives from each of the several classes, whose duty it is to arrange and direct the annual series of games. This fall, our success was as marked as that of last year. Eecords were made in many of the sports that stand on par with the achievements of the mighty men of the other Colleges of the country, — institu- tions much larger numerically than our own, and more generous- ly supplied with the apparatus and the opportunities necessary for the practice of such exercises. As the association formed is to be a permanent one, and composed of all the students in TBE INDEX. College, it is more than probable that the custom of having Fall Athletics will be kept up in years to come. Aud now, since the province of the Editorial is limited to a review of the year and gossip of a general character, we pause. To our readers, who have patiently followed us thus far, we would say : If in the succeeding pages be found anything that is not as it should be, impute it to the devoted editors of the work, and give all the honor of whatsoever is well done to our beloved class. Those who will succeed us in the year to come, we would thus advise : Avoid our faults, and profit by whatever of good you may find herein: If we fail, be not dismayed. Mark but our fall and that that ruined us, — fail not to publish the Index. We would here take occasion to thank all those who have, in any way, aided us in our work. The compilation of these pages has, indeed, been a pleasant task, and it is not without much regret that we relinquish the pen, doff the editorial robes, exchange the sanctum for a study, and relapse into the calm seclusion of private life. When Time, who steals our years away Shall steal our pleasures, too, Then mem ' ry of the past will stay And half our joys renew. How swiftly the years glide by ! How short seems the time since we were Freshmen, looking forward longingly to the day when we should be Seniors ! How impatient to have completed our college course, to walk forth with honors crowned, to join the madening crowd ! How eager to reap, giving no thought to the sowing ! How hasty to cry victory, not thinking of the hard-fought battle ! Well, time has left us at the coveted station. We are Seniors. The day is very near when we shall be cast loose from our Alma Mater. Not without some sinking at the heart, do we now think of that hour when we must bid farewell to scenes and faces made dear by four years of close relationship. We review with feelings of regret those plans unfinished ; those wishes not con- summated. We ask ourselves, Has it been all for naught, — our college life? Is the harvest worth the seeding? Is the vic- tory worth the battle? The answer conies reassuringly. Our garner consists of full measures of healthy knowledge well suited to feed vigorous minds; sound bodies, enlarged ideas, with capac- ity to expand them ; a higher appreciation of a manly and self- sustaining character ; a closer acquaintance with God through His matchless works. We are well pleased with the harvest. Our years here have been full of activity. Many subjects have claimed our attention and interest. Language, with its awful intricacies ; Philosophy, with its dreary formulas ; Chemistry, with its magical reactions ; Botany, w ith its wonderful revela- 10 THE INDEX. tions ; and Discipline, with its stern front and order. We have touched all these subjects and many others no less interesting. We have learned that agriculture is a science, and not the brain- less employment that many make of it. Intelligent observation and practice will always find, in this field, their greatest reward. Nothing can be more salutary than the study of nature and her laws ; it creates liberal views, and tends to form anti-conservative minds. We look upon her designs ; we see the harmony prevail- ing all her works ; We contemplate grand results wrought out by simple processes with marvellous precision. Such training qual- ifies the mind to entertain great possibilities, and progress, which is but the weaving together of right ideas, is the result. Our classmates have been dropping away from term to term, so that now, less than one half the original number remain. We have just bidden farewell to one of our most respected members, who was obliged to leave us on account of ill-health. He was a faithful scholar, who gained the good will of Faculty and stu- dents and made many fast friends during his stay in college. We wish him a speedy recovery. During the last term of junior year we were called upon to sustain a great loss. Our honorable president was invited to other fields of labor. Perhaps no other man in the country was so well qualified to accomplish the undertaking upon which he is engaged ; it is certain that his work here has met with widely extended approval. We miss his energetic appearance, his ring- ing voice, his valuable instruction, and, above all, his example of ceaseless industry. We were proud to send away such a man, and we support our loss with equanimity. We are not of those who are inclined to fall into the distaste- ful habit of enumerating class exploits and excellencies, — of try- ing to shine on paper. If we have not anything to boast of, well and good ; if we have, it will be much more meritorious to say nothing about it. We hope that the motto which has been adopted by the class of ' 77 while in college, will cling to its members through life, — Aim at the Highest. B. Who of us, classmates, has not been impressed by the thought that, with this term ' s duties we enter upon a new era in college life ? For with Junior year come new experiences and new responsibilities, which are fully realized only when we reach this welcome period. Our journey hither has been quickly and pleasantly accomplished. As we proceed on the latter half of our course, our only regret is that not quite all are with us now who started under the banner of ' 78. Yet we bid the missing - ones a hearty God speed in the paths where destiny leads them, and hope that others will come to fill the vacant places. We are very happy in welcoming back our classmate who has returned to us almost from the jaws of death, and yet is as reckless and jolly as ever. ' 76, in departing, has taken from us many esteemed college mates. We feel deeply the loss of our colleagues, but hope for their highest success in the courses they may pursue. What they were to us, from the time when first we trod Aggie domains till their graduation, we will endeavor to be, in the fullest degree, to our fresh colleagues. And the new class appears worthy of our friend ship. We trust they will grow in all that improves and cultivates the man, so that when our class shall quit its Alma Mater, they may make its absence less apparent. Tnstead of boasting of our superiority in everything, we only ask you to look to the records and they will testify to the high and honorable position which ' 78 holds in studies, athletics, and in supporting the several student associations of our institution. When our honored President returns from hin distant mission, he will find, we humbly hope, that those he left as wild Sopho- mores have become dignified and respected Seniors. We will 12 THE INDEX. earnestly strive, fellow classmates, that his anticipations may be fully realized in so far at least as we are concerned. We must be active. Quickly the remaining less than half of our course will speed away, and then we sh all go out to do our part in the great work of life. Then will it be seen how well we spent our col- lege days. In this centennial year of our glorious republic, may it be our determination that the advance of our country, in every desira- ble line, during the next ten decades, shall owe an honorable part to our having lived. Look higber, comrades! endeavor to subdue all within that tends to weaken or debase us. God, wbose mercy is infinite, will help and strengthen us, so that our lives here below shall be prosperous and happy, and, if faithful to the end, we shall re- ceive a reward good beyond all conception and altogether price- less. B. 9. In beginning our second year at college, we are once more called upon for our communication to the Index. Instead of being the lowest class in college, as last year, we have risen one stage higher in the course, and have become Sophomores. But a year ago, how distant the time of our graduation seemed, and yet a year passed ere we were aware of it. We are happy to state that we have done away with the dis- graceful custom, which nearly all Sophomore classes follow, of hazing Freshmen. We hope that the practice is done away with entirely in this college, and that a Freshman will always be treated as well as an upper-class man. For what pleasure can there be in a number of fellows getting together and besmearing their faces so that they may resemble savages as much as possible, arousing a single Freshman, if one can be found by himself, and hazing him ? The notion has been, and is still entertained by many students, that Freshmen should not be allowed to carry canes. Why have they not as good a right as any one ? Our class numbers sixteen , having lost six men during the past year, three of whose places are now filled by new comers. We will not boast of our scholarship, although we have very good reason to believe that our rank, as a class, is fully up to the aver- age. One thing, however, may be remarked, that one of our men, on entering, passed a better examination than any previous applicant for admission to the college. [Tn the Athletic Sports last year, our class was very poorly represented, although we had at the time men who would, with a little practice, have been equal to the best of them. Last year we furnished two men to the Wilder Base Ball Nine, besides having a nine of our own, which, it was stated, was able to give 14 THE INDEX. the nine of ' 76 a good rub. Howsomever, it was not put to the test, either because they did not wish to risk their reputa- tion, or for some other good reason. In the latter part of last winter ' s term we were called to mourn the loss, by death, of one of our number — a classmate, esteemed, respected and looked up to by us, almost as an elder brother. He was taken from us in all the strength and ambition of youth, and his loss was felt, not only by his own classmates, but by the whole college. In him we have an example which we should all strive to follow : that is, pay strict attention to our duties, and always stand up for the right ; for, by so doing, we not not only earn the respect of our immediate friends, but of all with whom we have any connection. By application to our studies now, while we have the opportunity, we shall have no. cause, in after life, to regret the non-improvement of our advantages. May it not be said of any of us, either by our professors, or any one else, that we are passing through college with just as little study as possible — our only object seeming to be a diploma. For of what use is a sheepskin, without the knowledge to back it up ? We should be something like the wolves in sheep ' s clothing, not what we pretend. Therefore, let us do all in our power to acquire knowledge, that we may be better fitted to ful- fill the obligations which we owe to our country and to our fel- low men. L. We are called upon to give a sketch of our experiences, that they may be embalmed in the Index. With diffidenc e we pro- ceed to the task. Our antecedents being unknown, you may naturally ask for our credentials. Our class, as far as numbers are concerned, is fully up to the average. Twenty of us there are — enough to prevent any feeling of isolation, but not so many but that each member may retain his own individuality. Our homes are widely scattered. We have representatives from Min- nesota and far off Chili, thus securing that element of the uni- versal which fits us for the assimilation of knowledge. The preparatory examination was the first obstacle to our entrance ; but, after having a blank charge fired in our faces, we entered the portal. A short rest now followed, but it was the lull that pre- cedes the storm. Certain garrulous Juniors prepared us for the Freshman ' s ordeal, yet, from certain conscientious scruples, we hesitated. This lasted not long. The insolent Sophs soon brought us to action. Victory was ours ! One strong push sent them flying like jackstraws. 0, the leering, jeering, window-smashing Soph- omores ! Bullies, as they are, they have to receive a sound thrash- ing before they can be brought to respect the rights of Freshmen. Our connection with the Faculty has been a pleasant one — the Professors are kind, genial, and of the right stuff, generally. Their lectures are both practical and popular ; they even allow a few jokes as fireworks, for the amusement of the students, and actually have been known to explode a few themselves. On the whole, we are highly satisfied with this part of college life. Nourishment is absolutely essential to the physical man that he 16 THE INDEX. may be in a proper condition to receive mental food. The pic- ture would be very incomplete did I not tell how we are crammed stomachically, as well as intellectually. The class generally take their meals at the College boarding establishment. There are, however, a few who, we presume, follow the Scripture maxim, Better is a morsel with quietness, c. As for the former, they prefer to follow Shakspeare ' s maxim, A hearty laugh helpeth the digestion. But we modestly withold from asking further space. As Freshmen, we remember our position in col- lege life, and seek not to overstep it. In future years we may be again called upon for contributions to the Index, when a more liberal culture, and a larger experience will the better fit us for the task. 8. m ,l jmculii Mttnt - aC3s- M £ 1876-7. 8 iB3l mt ®f 5G rastos MEMBERS EX-0FFWII8.

Love of country has been placed, by the past philosophers of all ages, as the highest human sentiment next to the love of God — higher than filial love, higher than fraternal love, higher than the love of sex It seems not to be acquired with advanc- ing years, but is born in the individual ; the toddling boy feels the thrills of patriotism, as soon, almost, as he can talk or hear. Somewhat thus with the love of Alma Mater. The student, in college, is notorious for the anomaly in his character which impels him to cut ' ' a professor, as if it were a good joke on his instructor ; a good joke it may be, but one strongly tainted with hibernianism. ' Tis like buying a costly article of the shop- keeper with money of your own, added to that of a friend, and then running off without taking the purchase. Students will oppose a college law, and vilify its originators : but, let those same students be placed in the breach, woe to the man who does gainsay our college, or any of its belongings. The associa- tions and experiences of student life are among the dearest mem- ories the mind of the graduate possesses. He lives over again many times the pleasant hours of his green Freshmanhood, of his wild Sophomore career, of more studious Junior days, and of the earnest sedateness and dressy dignity of Senior year. The feeling of loyalty keeps fresh as time rolls on, and the fast de- veloping man preserves his interest in, and aids with his might, every step of his Alma Mater. The maroon and white is now worn in the hearts of six gradu- ated classes, the members of which number one hundred and nineteen. And what are the one hundred and nineteen doing ? Are they a credit to the institution which has been their training school ? Taken together, we claim that they are. Among them are many rising farmers, teachers of agriculture, editors, chem- ists, engineers, and a few merchants, lawyers, and clergymen. No great men among them yet, but they are becoming notice- able in a niche long unoccupied, without which society is markedly incomplete — the niche set apart for men possessing knowledge of and power over matter. The cry of the times is for men educated in the industrial sciences, especially in im- proved agriculture, and this cry the agricultural college must answer with well drilled men. What the Alumni are, so will the college be adjudged. Then see to it, Alumni of the M. A. C, that your record in the world ' s work be such as to place high in the roll our loved Alma Mater, But, not by example alone, can we, 60 THE INDEX. the Alumni, hope to win credit for the intellectual workshop whence we came. We know the wants of our college as well as any ; it is for us to press its claims, by tongue and pen, at every opportunity. It needs students ; none so well fitted, as we, to induce young men to examine the advantages of our institution. It needs money of all things ; ah, this, few of us possess, but we may be able to influence the possessors. No thought can, seemingly, be more dear to a college graduate, than that, soma day, he may be able, in part, to return what his Alma Mater has given him, which no amount of tuition can repay. Some- day is present every day. Let us begin the payment. To quote from a recent article : This new educational move- ment has wonderfully diversified the resources and opportunities of the calling. It has opened up new careers for youthful ambi- tion Education no longer consigns a man, of necessity, to law, medicine, or the ministry. The youth in sympathy with rural pursuits, and of a literary turn of mind, can find no richer field for his talents than here. The tempting career of authorship and journalism, no longer of necessity claims its aspirant to spheres of action, removed, by long intervals, from the field and farm ; no department of literature now offers a wider range, than the agricultural. Those inclined to the teacher ' s calling have opportunities here offered, until now unknown. Medicine, in the human practice, is crowded full ; the veterinary is virtually unworked. To the youth born for eminence as an original inves- tigator of nature, here is a field white with the harvest, for which the reapers are all too few. To use the words of Presi- dent Warren : ' In the direction of mechanical invention and appliance, in the direction of broad studies and broad improve- ment, in the direction of new forms of agricultural manufac- tures and agricultural commerce, numberless new opportunities and new employments have been opened, which all go to diver- sify, to enrich, and to render attractive the farm life, once so monotonous. ' On the undergraduate we would impress the fact, while, by- earnest application in the regular course he will be fitted to accomplish much in the battle of life, yet, when he leaves, at the end of four years, he is really but fitted to begin. Post-grad- uate study, in special branches, is to him who would go to his work fully equipped, what a full supply of arms and ammuni- tion is to the soldier. The fields of agricultural chemistry, bot- any, veterinary, and of special investigation, offer rich rewards to the right men. But the right men are only those who fit them- selves for the work by special study. Undergraduates, think of it. Alumnus. Soribner ' s Monthly for October. ' n s 3 FARNSWORTH RHETORICAL MEDALS.

Once upon a time a certain turtle, pausing by the wayside, saw many pilgrims impatiently pursuing their way towards the Great Temple of the West. He said to one of them : Whither goest thou, and wherefore ? In a sepulchral voice the traveller said : Come with me and thou shalt see. And he went and saw. He witnessed the operations of the pilgrim, and beheld him de- positing his sacrifice upon the altar, and incense filled the place. And after all these things it came to pass that the High Priest passed that way, and accosted him, saying : Who art thou ? — Why, my name is Richardson ; I ' m drawing cider. A BUNCH OF BEETS. Hib.

What now wilt thou do, poor withered night bloomer ? I know not. I was torn from my happy home by the cruel hand of a green-eyed, hairy monster. He would have me to live with him, but had not wherein to keep me. So he sought to find a new abode for me : that I might continue near him and cheer his gloomy hours. With this object he plundered a neighboring castle of pestilential fame, deserted now by all except dynamite fiends, bone-setters and modellers. In this infernal place my new master found a beautiful little glass palace, in which, he said, I should reign Queen of Beauty. But on retreating from this unheavenly place, an apparition suddenly appeared befoi ' e us in materialized form, and a sonorous voice exclaimed in tones of terrible portent, ' Put it bach ! I ' ll report you to the Faculty, Sir!!! ' And he put it. Now, all my hopes are smashed. I must ' waste my sweetness on the desert air, ' and finally go ' where the woodbine twineth.
