EDITORIAL MNOTHEK year has rolled away. The class of ' 83 is called upon for the thirteenth volume of the Index. At fii-st the class seemed to feel, owing to the many disconrage- nients they met with, and the comparatively small num- ber in the claPs, as if they had better not assume the responsibility. Energy and perseverance however at last triumphed, and the result of this is now presented. This book founded for the purpose of keeping a record of the many organizations of the college, and also recording the inci- dents and events of the year, so interesting, especially to the student, and Avhich may be kept to be looked upon in after years as a remindci ' of the many pleasures and associations formed at M. A. C, should be made as interesting as possible, and fi ' ce from anything that would in any way injure the character of the students or college. If this contribution is found to be in any way dry, or lacking in many of those essential qualities which are needed in a work of this kind, we trust the critic will be lenient, and remember at least, that the past year has been very quiet in compaiison with previous ones, giving the Editors very little material to draw from. Criticism is a harsh thing, and in reviewing the various parts of the college, nothing will be said except that which is for its best interest, and will seek to promote its futher ujDbuilding, and permanent welfare. The college, as is well known, has for the past few years, been in some what of an unsettled condition from different causes, especially from lack of sufficient means, to carry out the design for which it was established. But this is not at all surprising, for the same thing has taken place, in all our older and most celebrated institutions of learning, in their early struggle for existence. The college also being to a certain ex- tent dependent upon successive legislatures for its support, has suffered much from the different opinions and actions of different bodies. It is at present self-supporting, although somewhat crippled in its usefulness. It now needs a fund similar to other institutions, and which we have great hopes it will obtain in the near future. Let us hope that the worst is past, and may we see a glorious future open before our beloved alma mater. We agree with a former editor to a certain extent, as regards the low standard of admission. This however we believe will be raised as the college grows older. There has been much dissatisfaction manifested towards our President, and while grumblers are found in every walk of life, still we are compelled to say we believe it is not all without foundation. The farm in connection with the college, in our opinion, is in a very unsatisfactory condition, and is far from what it was in- tended it should be. We are not among those who believe in the flaunting statements often made before the public, by per- sons entirely ignorant of the circumstances, that it should be made to pay as a business enterprise. The farm is, or should be for the purpose of illustrating in the best possible way, the prac- tical part of agriculture and should have sufficient means to so do. The horticultural department of Prof. Maynard is in a flourish- condition, which reflects great credit upon the manager. It is plainly evident however that the Professor is, much overworked in attending to the very laborious duties in that direction, as well as those of a regular professor in tlie college, and it is lioped that he will soon be relieved. An experimental station is one of the things very much need- ed and which of necessity must soon be established. It is hardly fitting in a work of this kind, to go into an argument pointing out the various reasons why this should be established ; indeed it seems to ns as if they were self-evident. If the gentlemen who are appointed by the people of the state to act as their ser- vants, and who are supposed to work for their best interest would look the subject squarely in the face as true sons of the old Bay State, they could not fail to see the benefits that would be derived from it. Let them remember that agriculture, an industry of such vast importance to the state, and also laying at the foundation of our national prosperity, should be fostei ' ed and encouraged, instead of being looked upon with a feeling of indifference, as is now to often the case. Professor Goessmann with such a wide experience, is most admirably fitted to stand at the head of such a department, and we know the result would be highly gratifying to the people. Professor Goodell owing to poor health, has been obliged to leave his duties once during the year, and while his loss was much felt we would willingly grant it, rather than that his health be further impaired. During the summer vacation our much beloved Professor in Mathematics resigned his position after faithfully filling the chair for seven years. We believe we speak for every student of the college, when we say that his loss is keenly felt by all of us. We heartily wish him success in his future labors, and for his encouraging words and earnest work in our behalf, his name will ever find a place in our memory, as one of our truest friends. The chair has been filled by the appointment of Professor Har- rington, and we extend to him a cordial welcome, and earnestly hope that he will have the same success as the one who preceded him. Lieut. Morris ' term of office having expired, his place has been filled by the appointment of Lieut. Bridgman. By the interest that our new Lieut, has already manifested, and by the business like energy he displays, we are sure that his efforts will meet with success, and that our military department will be one of the most successful of its kind in the country. At tlie beginning of the present term, another Freshman class unfurled its banner to the breeze, and recorded its name in the history of the college, as the class of ' 85. We welcome this class as it for the first time commences its labors among us. Its num- bers were not as large as we had wished, but certainly it is a great improvement on the one which preceded it. Class of ' 85, freshmen indeed you are, but four years of college train- ing are before you, and we trust that you will emblazon upon the walls of this, our college home, a name wliich you may always be able to look upon with feelings of pride and admiration. The chair of mental and moral science has for the last few years been abolished, owing to the lack of the necessary funds to sustain it. Of its value, yes, its necessity in our course of in- struction, no one will for a moment deny, and the editors hope the day is not far distant, when this will again be established. We trust that college sports will not be allowed to die out, for besides being of great value to ourselves, they are one of the things which make a college popular. And now fellow students, we place this work in your hands, trusting that you will not be too severe in your criticisms. That our work is imperfect we do not doubt : but remember as you turn its pages, that perfection is difficult to attain by mortal man. To the class who comes after us, and whose duty next it will be to take up the editorial pen, we would say, do not give up the Index, but strive to improve it, until it may attain even a wider popularity than at present. To you members of the class of ' 83, we your servants dedicate it, trusting that in the future it may serve to bring back to our minds, burdened with the cares of the world, pleasures which will make our pathway brighter, and may it serve to awaken within us, remembrances of one of the happiest periods of our life. dn 9TC 2 14iO ' t lcH4 l.

We have begun the year with less W than half of those, who the Fall of ' 78 srathered here for ' i the first time as Freshmen. We can hardly realize that three eventful years have since passed, and that we have now arrived at that point which then seemed so far beyond us, when, as Seniors, our opinion in .college matters should be listened to with attention and respect. It is only a few short months hence when we must leave our college home, with all its work and pleasure, and step forth into other scenes of action, as yet untried by most of us. We have long looked forward to the time when we should take our places among those who are struggling for a position in the world. It is with joy that we cherisji the thought that that time is so near, when equipped for the battle we shall strike out boldly, and earn for ourselves recognition as a man among men. But this joy is not a little tempered by the rellection that we shall tlien have left behind us four of the pleasantest years of our lives, and that we must then be separated from those whom during those ypars, have been toiling over the same road with us, and striving for the same objects. And now during our last year in college, is it not fitting that we should look back over those already passed and consider whether they have been profitably spent? Although we may on the whole feel satisfied, we find also, that we have made some mistakes which it will now be our endeavor to correct, so that as we go on in our journey through life, we shall be as well prepared as possible to prove the real value of [education as an assistant in attaining true success and arriving as near as we may to the stage of perfect man- hood. 30 We sincerely liope that on going out from this institution, which has done so much lor us, we may leave behind us a remembrance and an example worthy of the respect and imitation of those who come after us. During our stay here many changes have taken place ij:i the ad- ministration of the college. Three Presidents have successively occu- pied the chair, and now it is with real sorrow that we record the resignation of that genial Professor, who so patiently endeavored to instill into our . minds the principles, of that much hated science, Mathematics. We wish him success in his present field of labor, and shall always remember him as one who took a deep interest in us. Thus far ' 82 has sustained a good record; in the future let each one do his duty so faithfully that he may be an honor to the class, and to his Alma Mater. B. Members of Charity Class. 21 ' 83. D.

O. ;T is with pleasure that we present our tliird contril)ution to the Index, for does not that signify that we are in our Junior year, and one step nearer tlie goal. We have passed tlie middle point of our college life, and as we crossed the line it was but natural for us to try and throw off all outward semblance of reckless Sophomore habits, and take upon ourselves the dignity of Juniors ; to what extent we have succeeded, we leave for others to judge. The new Freshman class although not as large as we had hoped, seems well worthy of our patronage, and as they mount upward in the college course, will always carry with them the esteem and best wishes of ' 83. So much superior in numbers to the Sophomores, they certainly will have little trouble in sustaining their rights. We hope to see them striving to cultivate those qualities which go to make up the educated man, and fitting themselves to fill the places made vacant by those who will be leaving their Alma Mater. As Juniors one of the important questions we should ask ourselves at this juncture is, do we feel fully repaid for the time and money spent thus far in our college course ? In asking this question of my classmates, I receive the invariable answer, yes I We have here formed many new ideas and resolutions, and the mental training and discipline we shall have passed through, will make us the better fit- ted to occupy positions of trust and honor, among those with whom we shall come in contact after leaving these walls. It behooves us then to be industrious and let none of the valuable time which it is our great privilege to spend in this institution, pass by without leaving some thought which may be of use to us in after life. The remain- der of our college course will glide swiftly away and we shall be thrust out upon the great sea of life, to battle with its waves and storms, and then will come the time when the world at large can fairly judge how we occupied our time in college. 33 In chemistry our class seems destined to distinguish itself, as almost half of the class are taking, from one to two years of extra practical work in the laboratory, outside of the regular course, and in later years we may expect to hear of nlany new discoveries being made by members of ' 83. When we first entered these walls as Freshmen, we felt for awhile a little disheartened at the seeming smallness of our numbers as com- pared with ' 83, but looking about us to-day, we find ' 82 diminished by more than half of its original members, while our class stands with no decrease. This gives us courage and we fervently hope that we may be able to march forward to graduation day, with firm and unbroken ranks, an honor to ourselves and our Alma Mater. B. 24 ' 84. OFFICERS. W. P.

Many changes have taken place in the class since we first set foot on Aggie soil Six of our class mates have left college, and among them, alas ! was that cherished babe, our- class infant. Although our class is small, yet we may say that it has more life, good-fellowship and flunktitude, than can be found in any of the other classes. , That 84 can still hold her own, was proved to the entire satis- faction of the Freshman on the night of the rush. Moreover, the Freshies were so exhausted on that memorable occasion, that they sought relief in partaking of the usual allowance of milk, which had been duly prepared for them. How proud we were when we entered the walls of our college home, to begin the studies of our Sophomore year under its gentle care. Our relations with the Faculty, during the first year, were not all that could be desired, owing probably to the independant air we assumed. But now that we have reached the dignity of the Sopho more, we trust that our last year ' s verdancy has wholly disappeared under the shining rays of our newly awakened intellectual fire. •JO We would not, liowever, go into piirticiilars in rc -anl to our men- tal powers, for we believe modesty is the best policy. Thus far our college life has been so full of new and varied experiences that, the time has passed very quickly, and we are reminded that grad- uation day, which once seemed so far away in the dim future, is rapidly approaching, and the honors that we shall then receive, de- pend upon our present attention to the duties which every succeed- ing day imposes upon us. 27 freshmanJ ass.

The tender care which the class of 84 bestowed upon us on our arrival, in seeing that we had plenty of refreshments, and retired at an early hour, was met by a few of us with a spirit of rebellion which checked the enemy for awhile, but reinforcements appearing, we were obliged to submit and go quietly to bed. The next and more important event in our career, was the grand rush. Here let us thank the Juniors for their friendly instruction concerning this and other matters relating to the college life. We were formed, and at the word we started forward to victory or dre- feat we knew not which, and with a crash we came together, but after a struggle were forced back, by means of the greater skill and experience of ' 84. Another contest occurred one afternoon when all were assembled for drill, in which ' 85 showed its courage. A Sophomore had the audacity to appear with a cane, but it was quickly seized by a Freshman and the cries of ' 85 and ' 84, responded to with alacrity by the restless Freshmen and Sophomores standing around, brought on a contest lasting a few moments and resulting in a tie, the cane breaking and each getting a part of it. 29 Classmates after running the gauntlet of laundry agents, furniture and uniform venders and society men, we settle down to steady work, to our duties and our pleasures. We look forward to our course in the college with a great deal of pleasure, hoping the days may pass pleasantly and profitably, and knowing that if the work laid out for us here is done thoroughly, the deep well of knowledge accumulated thereby, will be a never failing source of profit to us throughout our whole life. As old time goes on in its flight let us keep with it, never lagging behind, never loosing a moment, but always pressing forward toward the goal of Honor. P. 30 jlL POST « GRADUATES.

And so they have, and it is a well known fact among college boys, as many a worthy watch dog can testify. It was only in the latter part of last September, that we called on one of our prominent farmers, and he showed us an extensive collection of — stern realities — which his dog had gathered from one time to another, during the last three years, while engaged in guarding his melon-patch. About this time every year, old Clytie decends from the confines of Sunderland, bringing with him his luscious melons, for which most of the boys gladly exchange their shekels. Now, whenever he drives his fiery untamed steed near the college, there is at once exhibited an un- usual interest in the fruit question. A minute inspection of the tail- board often results in its fall, and a consequent shower of melons to the ground, at which unexpected accident everj one at once help% themselves, simply saying as a kind of apology, I say old man, don ' t suppose you want this piece, do you ? at the same time grabbing an entire melon. This method of obtaining melons at last became so frequent, that Clytie exchanged his old wagon for one with a station- ary tail-board. Then the agency racket commenced. Any quantity of young men at once offered their valuable services to act as sole agent for him, saying, that the only stock in-trade they would need, would be half a dozen melons, to be used only as samples. The old man, however, actually disregarded such excellent offers. Then sev- eral said they would give their services to him, but still Clytie shook his head. 62 A.t last one young man so longed to be his agent, that cal ' - ried away by enthusiasm, or something else, made a grab at the largest water-melon on the load, tucked it securely under his arm, and made a quarter miile dash for his room, thereby making the fastest time on record, for this distance. This last act proved too much for the ancient melon vender ' s patience, and after shaking his list at, and making dire thi-eats of vengeance against the rapidly retreating form of the would be agent, he seized the reins, and goaded on his steed, to some place which knew not college boys or agents. A FRESHMAN CLASS SUPPER. [ T was one of those clear, cold, starlight evenings last winter, when happening to be back of North College, our attention was attracted by a bright light, which shone forth from one of the unoccupied rooms. After much consideration and due deliberation as to its cause, my friend remembered that there was something very mysterious going on among the Freshmen that day. Summing the entire matter into tangible form, we very naturally concluded that the Freshmen were going to have a class supper. Our brains already over-tasked by the huge cloud of mathematical theories and suppositions enforced upon us, by the one whose shiny head had long since become a victim to their direful influences, and also weighed down by the gigantic pile of unexcused absences which commenced to rest heavily upon our consciences, were, we feared, almost to weak to make a plan whereby we could more fully inves- tigate the matter without being disturbed. But something must be done, and so we did it. Silently we stole over the rafters, through the darkness, now and then broken by the vivid flash of the dark- lantern, until we were directly over the head of what seemed to us to be a ' crowd of Indians, making the night hideous with their terri- ble war-hoops. The mystery was quickly solved ; all things were being made ready ' for a bountiful repast. Doors served as tables, news papers as table-cloths. The Kentuck- ian ' s room appeared to be the place of rendezvous, where the guests completed their toilet before entering the supper hall, where the savory viands were awaiting them. Among the most noticeable guests of that wonderful class, who appeared to be the stars of the occa- 63 sion, were Idiot, Goosie, Cobbler, Pete, Pat, and we believe tlie Vitalized Phosphate man canae in later. It appeared that the eat- ables for the occasion, were obtained from that most excellent estab- lishment, known as the Hasl House. ' The guests becoming •impatient, the repast commenced. The first coarse served, was oyster stew, (slightly decayed bivalves -I- H 2 0), if our friends will allow us to call it such, and if it proved to be as inviting as those obtained at that magnificient res- taurant on Sunday morning, we must say we envied them. We did not notice any quail on toast but probably it was reserved for dessert, owing to its superior- nourishing qualities and excellent flavor. The popping of corks was heard, as the cork screw penetrated the neck of the bottles, and the sparkling beverage flowed freely down the throats of the apparently happy youths. Dwight was toast-master, and he opened his remarks by informing the guests to eat and drink all they could, for it was not every day that they were able to obtain such a treat, and at such a compara- tively low price. As time went on things became more lively, the uproar increased, and one of the number, noticeable by his small physical stature, managed to stammer out after several unsuccessful attempts that he was ' nt drunk. To make a long matter short, the first course was concluded, and speeches were in order. Skedink being called upon for a speech, mounted a chair, amid tremendous applause and said, gentlemen it gives me mach pleas- ure to address this vast and brilliant assembly, when at that mo ment the pepper went flying through the air. Stealthily but surely it penetrated to their nasal appendages, and caused them to vibrate in such a way, that music, sweet but slightly inharmonious, flowed out upon the still night air. The toast-master, after a vig- orous rubbing of his eyes, managed to declare that some one had upset the pepper-box, ' and other similar exclamations were indulged ill by diflierent members. Finally some one managed to discover a hole in the ceiling, and light broke in at once upon their half stupefied brains. With a yell and a rush they all started for the attic, but alas ! the scuttle would not yield to their ponderous blows, and they turned their vengeance upon Brain Food, who having neglected to partake of his customary portion was slightly weak- minded, and could not seem to realize the perilous situation in which lie was placed. Which advice was heeded. 64 65 ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. Mrs. PAIGE, NELLIE AND :EDXA, Tamer. Aide-de-camps. Bagley, Barber, Bingham, Brodt, Brown, Cooper, Howell, March, Perkins, Taft, Wood hull, Lindsey.

' TnN this brief account, my friends, I shall endeavor to give you a ® slight synopsis of the rules and regulations of our boarding-house- f Breakfast is served at this cafe at 7.15, and is heralded in by the ringing of the chapel bell, by the old and reliable bell-ringer. This curious individual, some one remarked, appears similar to the one of ' 76, who rung out the independence chimes, under the title of grand-father. This is a welcome sound to which the students res- pond to attend to the duties of the inner man. You enter the house; before you is spread two large tables, covered with an abundant supply of cracked dishes. Your cup is taken, and some dark material, which some one has dared to give the name of coffee, is poured into it. The best de- scription I can give you of this, is a remark that a certain esteenaed friend made, who now resides among the isles of the sea, that this compound was produced by some one endeavoring to cleanse their hands with the exclu- sive aid of warm water. The supply of that sweet, pure, Asyhire milk, direct from Farmer Tillson ' s dairy, is somewhat limited just now, but an abundant sup ply of water is close at hand, and it holds its color remarkably well. The rest of the breakfast consists of crackers, ad infinitum, bread with ' a slightly acid twang to it, and a nameless material, which some of the fel- lows call quail. The bread is brought from the cooking room on a plate, at the rate of three slices per time, and silently disappears for want of some- thing better. After the first three slices have taken wings, the waiter takes the plate, and in a short time produces three more for the ten hungry mouths. This disappears in like manner, and you having by this time finished your bountiful repast, depart for the laborious duties of the morning. Long be- fore the dinner hour arrives, you endeavor to remember whether or not you ate your breakfast in the morning. After thinking earnestly for some time, you conae to the conclusion you did not, and when at last the goal is reached, you quickly wend your way to the cafe. The dinner usually consists of what is termed veal, and thanks to the generosity of the boarding-mistress, plenty of murphys, as the fellows call them. This excellent veal deserves further notice. I would say that owing to a contract made with the meat vender, we are enabled to have it constantly throughout the year, except for a limited time during the winter months, when pork supplies its place. I neglected to say that on Friday, for 79 the sake of variety, a substance which once bore the name of fish, takes the IDlace of the veal. This prepared compound is served in a semi-liquid con- dition, for v hat reason we cannot say, but some have surmised that it con- tains ingredients which are very valuable as a brain food. The desert u sually consists of pumpkin pie, three inches square, according to the latest measurement, using the metric system as a standard. Very few incidents occur to mar the harmony of the occasion, excepting an occasional precipitation of the gravy upon the table cloth by a freshman, which is responded to by a scowl from the waiter, or perchance the break- ing of a plate, for which the unlucky individual is obliged to pay the sum of seventeen cents. The supper is very light, as the proprietor does not believe in injuring the health of the students by pampering them with too much rich food. However a limited supply of apple-sauce is allowed twice per week, as there is an abundant supply of apples grown upon the college farm. The proprietor has had the good fortune to secure the services of the illustrious Brecken- ridge, the retired American actor, for one of the waiters of the establish- ment. This gentleman, as is well known has rendered himself distinguished in a great many ways, which it is not necessary to speak of here. With the excellent management of this establishment, the close economy practiced, and the services of the distinguished waiter, we see no reason why this department should not be successful in a financial point of view. But the boarders ! alas ! beware, O mortals, beware. Y DlALOGUES FOR TWO PERSONS.y SCENE IN THE LECTURE ROOM. Pres.

Whereas on the 17th of Oct. inst., the ro om in the Museum building was defiled by somie member of my class, and whereas on the 18th inst., sundry depredations were committed, which might be construed as an insult to a college ofBcer, I hereby truthfully affirm I did not aid, abet, assist, or com- mit either of the above acts, and that I heartily disapprove of such conduct. Signed by entire class of ' 83. We are begged to announce that Mr. Kingman has a valuable lecture on hygiene, consisting of facts selected from his own experience, together with choice selections from valuable scientific works, which he wishes to dispose of a,t a reasonable rate. It is rumored that Nourse is still diligently in search of his dress coat. Any information concerning the same will be gratefully rece.ved. It is reported officially that Howe has contracted with a Texas cattle driver, to furnish leather to cover those plantations wherein resideth his understanding. Last term Kinney and Spalding were obliged to return to the study of mortar drill, and it was with feelings of pity that the Sophs, watched them laboriously shoveling the material ofl: their nearly ruined carpet, while Kin- ney slowly muttered words of vengeance upon the perpetrator of such a deed . Visit Bagley ' s smoking emporium ; choice smoking materials constantly on hand and to loan. Messrs. Kinney and Perkins have lately opened a store at 5 N. C, where a first-class assortment of old clothes, military uniforms, and decidedly old furniture, may be purchased at advanced prices. These gentlemen gratuit- ously offer their services at any water-melon, grape, cake, or apple soiree, where talent, good looks, and mustaches are appreciated. 90 SpS I) d alumni.m WI 91 ALUMNI. fT seems sti ' ange to be called on as Alnmni to contribute to the Index. There was a time not long ago with many of us, when pil we contributed to the Index personally, and directly through our @)% own participation of the life of which this publication is a reflex. That time has passed for us. No more do we have our names printed twenty or moi ' e times, as members of our class, secret and literary society, grub-club, military department, etc., or hyphenated in the Grrinds, or nicknamed in the personal references. No more for us the call to prayers, or recitation, no more trips over the bridge to the Hash-house, no more the pomp and glorious circumstance of mili- tary evolution, no more class work, and no more fun, anyway. For we are staid and sober citizens, we are : and yvhj should we be asked to contribute to the Index ? Because the boys at alma mater want to hear from us. Because they need sound encouragement and advice to lighten up the w eary hours of college life. Because the editors kno v w e are the ones whose words will give tone and soliditj to the an- nual Junior production. Hence we write. There is little to write about, but we write just the same. We might go on to shed a few word-tears on the subject of our regrets at leaving college to battle alone with life ' s storna, as it were ; but we refrain from harrowing up the feeling of our gentle readers. We are not sorry that we have left college, but we are glad we graduated from it. Glad that we spent four years at the M. A. C. Glad of that, but not sorry that we are now on life ' s highway, as men, traveling towards the future, with the lessons of the past be- hind us, and the prize for well-doing in front. Think of life, you who are yet in college, as a movement towards an end. The movement may be forward or backward as you choose the road, but the end will come just the same in either case. Think then as to what end you wish to reach, and make your college life a preparation for the journey. Make your college course benefit you 92 mentally, physically, morally, if possible, that you may be armed at all points for the struggle that is to come. Do not be alarmed by so much cautionary advice, but believe that a man ' s college course means more to his after life than he is inclined to believe while a stude ' nt. And so great a proportion does not depend on your studies, or your teachers, as on yourselves and your self-training. It may be said vt ith much truth that what a man is when he leaves college, such will he remain. It makes not so much difference how he enters college, be he good, bad, or indifferent ; it is the man as he graduates who is the man you meet or hear of, one, three, or ten years after. The man who goes from good to bad, or perhaps from bad to worse, during the four year?, keeps on in that direction in- definitely in the future. He who rises from good to better, or from bad to good it may be, through the influence of college training, may be found on that line in the years to conae. See that you set your faces toward the right point, and swerve not. Be not alarmed, dear readers still students ; the quality of mercy is not strained, neither is the language of good advice. Life perhaps you will not find so bad as painted. Fortunately for you if so. But it is our duty, having gone over the road before, to warn you of obstacles and pitfalls, that your journey may be easier. To brother Alumni there is but one word : Subscribe regularly for the Index, and like Scotty Briggs, never shake your alma mater.

Which here is so bountifully placed in his reach. How sweet to remember this valley, ' twill be, Where the grand old Connecticut sweeps to the sea ; As lost deep in reverie, in some future times, Our classmates are found in far distant climes. When, one in Brazil, another in Cuba, Is selling his coffee or making his sugar. Another way back in a far distant town. For thrift and good farming is winning renown. While others as chemists the discovery will make, How the farmer from air can nitrogen take And apply to his land in such available form As will take our old farmers completely by storm. But now let ' s return from mere speculation And come down to facts with solid foundation. We entered as Freshmen but two years ago. But ah ! when we pause it hardly seems so. As resting a moment in the midst of the stream, We glance all around us at what may be seen. Our relations as Freshmen, with the Faculty all. Were peaceful and pleasant, as each may recall. But when we, as Sophs, the Freshies would haze. Our relations with the Fac took a different phase. For threats of expulsion then rang in our ears. Which were, of themselves, as vague as our fears. In Junior year our troubles come Mounting upward, one by one, But not ' till suspended, one and all. Did we feel assured that Prexy ' d crawl. Small in numbers, we should be Each in honor to ' 83, For the time is drawing nigh When we must say a last good bye, To our classmates true and tried. With whom we ' ve struggled side by side Up the hill of knowledge, for four years ' time. Which seems to grow higher as upward we climb. 101 1881 82.1 1 Winter Term begins Holiday, Holiday, Holiday, Winter Term ends December 8th, ' 81. December 25tli, ' 81. January 1st, ' 82.

A Fertilizer, almost entireh soluble in water, free from odor, and as clean as sugar to handle. It is made expressly for flow- ers grown in the house or garden. It contains nearly the same plant-food as stable dressing, and produces the same results, without giving off in the room that offensive and unhealthy odor which arises from the application of stable dressing. It pro- duces a healthy, luxuriant growth, and induces early and gener- ous flowering, and cannot in any way harm the plants if applied according to directions, which are very simple, and accompa- ny each package. No lady who delights in flowers, and likes to see them do well and bloom abundantly, should be without the Ammoniated Food. A table-spoonful dissolved in a gallon of water is a sufficient quantity for twenty ordinary plants like geraniums, applied once a week for three or four weeks ; after that, not oftener than once a month. Trial packages sent by mail, post paid, 25 cents. Bowker Fertilizer Company. 43 Chathain Street, Boston ; 3 Park Place, New York ; 2 1 No. Water St., Rochester, N.
