IT is said that every year the Index grows poorer in quality. Perhaps the present issue will help confirm this opinion, yet we present this to the public hoping it may be found as nmch better as it is larger, than our immediate predecessors. Our labor has been arduous, with trials such as losing two members of our board in the midst of our work, but we shall feel amply repaid if our critics decide that the perusal of this, the twentieth volume of the Index has been one of pleasure and perhaps of profit. Our purpose has been to prepare a book containing something more than a mere compilation of facts, and in this endeavor we have made a few, perhaps radical, changes from previous issues, among which we may mention the simple style of cover we have adopted. It was thought more fitting to spend our time and money on the inside rather than to expend so much on a fanciful cover, to the beauty of which, but few would give a second thought. Our college has been unusually prosperous the past year, and has taken a long step in the front rank of Agricultural institutions. The faculty, with one exception, remains unchanged. Prof. Alvord, the for- mer Professor of Agriculture, resigned at the close of the winter term to accept the position of President of the Maryland Agricultural College. Ex-President Stockbridge kindly consented to take his chair until a new professor could be secured, and many have expressed the wish that he could be induced to remain permanently. During the first portion of the year, the instruction in Agriculture was necessarily much broken, but now all seem to feel that they have received so much valuable and practical information during the short time that Prof. Stockbridge has been instructor, that it is hard to be reconciled to the thought of having to change to a new professor in January. Prof. Brooks of the Agricultural College of Japan has been secured by the Trustees to take the position vacated by Prof. Alvord, and he is expected to assume his duties in January. (5) THE INDEX Many improvements have been made on the farm during the year, though the work has been much hindered by the lack of a permanent head. The land in the valley west of the campus has been cleared of stumps and seeded to grass, while the land on the border of the creek running through the farm, has been ploughed for the purpose of growing corn next season. A substantial wire fence has been built by the edge of the road on the western side of the farm and the land graded, giv- ing it a much more finished appearance. Under the efficient supervision of Mr. Wright the farm is fast approaching a state which may make it a model for all good farmers. Prof. Maynard is still filling our minds with horticultural knowledge and yet finds time to steadily improve the appearance of his department. W. M. Shepardson ' 88 now holds the position formerly held by S. B. Green, ' 79, who resigned, to become Prof, of Horticulture in the Minneso- ta Agricultural College. New varieties of fruit are constantly being add- ed and thoroughly tested as to their value. A new plant house has been built near the site of the old rose house, one part of which is to be devoted to experimental work under the direction of L. F. Kinney, ' 88, and the remainder to the general work of the department. Prof. Fern aid steadily holds us spell-bound as he discourses on the strange behavior of certain animals called Protoza. The only fault we find in relation to his department, is that we can only be instructed by him three hours a week, when we would all prefer a dozen. Uuder the direction of Prof. Wellington, we have been endeavoring to get the principles of mineralogy into our brains, though to many it seems as if they knew less and less about it each day. We could work to much better advantage in the Lab if we could have two hours a day for a part of the week instead of working one hour every day. We no sooner get fairly under way in our tests than we hear the sound of Johns No. 10 shoes as he crosses the Gym. giving us warning that the bell is about to ring. With Prof. Warner ' s help, and by our many noble efforts at the end of each term, we have passed with honor (?) from Algebra through Sur- veying and are now dissipating our energies in attempting to under- stand the composition of forces which constitutes the wonderful sci- ence of Mechanics. Dr. Walker, our college pastor, is laboring hard to convince us that a knowledge of the art of Rhetoric should be the chief aim and end of man. Yet, thus far, it appears as if each man considered the calcula- tion of whether he was going to be so fortunate (?) as to be called upon to recite, a far more important consideration than the knowledge of the art itself. THE INDEX, Pres. G-oodell gives the two lower classes thorough instruction in the Latin and French languages as far as the limited time will allow, but it would seem of more use to the students if these languages could be drop- ped and a two years ' course of study in the German language given in their place. At the beginning of this term an effort was made to give the stu- dents a better opportunity to obtain a knowledge of declamation and composition. Previous to this, each class has been under the instruction of four professors during their course, which has resulted in a confused jumbling of ideas without much benefit to any one. Prof. Lane now has charge of this department, and there is no doubt but what he will succeed in his attempt to raise the literaray standard of the college. The cadets under the command of Lieut. Sage are obtaining a fair idea of military science and tactics. They have had an opportunity this term to show their skill in drilling at the Belchertown and Springfield fairs. Most of the term has been devoted to company drill, no artillery nor mortar practice having been ordered. There is hardly the interest taken in drill that there should be. The majority go on drill with the feeling that the more place rest there is, and the sooner the drill is over, the better off tbey are. During the year Col. W. S. Clark ' s picture has been given to the College by some of the Alumni. The Trustees have also presented us with a complete collection of Japanese agricultural implements which will be brought here by Prof. Brooks. The old gymnasium is to be fitted up as an agricultural museum of which these tools will form the nucleus. The interest in athletics is not what it should be. Both the Base-ball and Foot-ball Associations have been well supported financially, but the students can hardly be induced to go out and practice as they should. They seem to think that the teams should win all the games played with very little or no practice. While this sort of feeling lasts, we must not expect our teams to do good work. If we cannot have a ball nine that will do better work than that of last year, we had better have none at all. The foot-ball team has done fairly well considering the number of men to choose from, but still it should do better. Tennis seems to be our most popular sport, and the four society courts are occupied the greater part of the time. At last it seems as though a start has been made towards having a good gymnasium. By subscriptions from the students and others, about two hundred dollars was raised, which is being expended for clubs, dumb bells, chest weights, etc. The drill hall has been sheathed, and heating apparatus put in, and it is expected that by the first of January, it will be in readiness for use. A great impetus would be given if the Alumni THE INDEX would start an Athletic fund, the income of which should be used in the interests of athletics in general. We welcome our proteges, the class of ' 92, as by far the largest that has entered the college for a number of years. If some of them were only sensible enough to realize that it is not necessaiy to be fresh, though they are Freshmen, it would be a great improvement. It seems to us that a mild amount of hazing might be a good thing for these, and it would hardly be injurious to some of the members of ' 91. Classmates : We have now completed the undertaking with which you have honored us, though the poor business manager is still growing thin at the thought of the bills he must collect. We have tried to prepare an Index that shall be remembered hereafter as a credit to our class, and now we lay aside our pens with feelings of both joy and sorrow that our editorial days are over.

And in their nightly watchful spheres, Lead in swift rounds the months and years. UvOW fast time flies! It seems but yesterday that, as Freshmen, we first -L came to begin our college life amid new scenes and new surround- ings. Yet now, in the words of the old song: As grave and reverend Seniors gaze we on the verdant past ; and we realize that soon four of the pleasantest, and we hope most profitable, years of our lives will have gone by forever ; that soon the bright scenes and pleasant occupations of our college days will exist for us only as cherished memories of what we once enjoyed. Since we entered, our ranks have kept thinning, until but half our original number are left to graduate. We cannot but miss the absent ones, yet at the same time we would heartily wish them success. During the past year our time has been partly occupied by an investigation of Physical phenomena and electricity; but our experiments with the latter often had shocking results. With net in hand we have explored the country in search of new or strange Insects, with which to prove our knowledge of Entomology. Our proficiency in Chemistry is quite remarkable, as evinced by the won- derful reactions, and peculiar formulas we have been able to produce; while oar talent for understanding and solving deep and intricate Psychological problems, though as yet not completely developed, is never-the-less remarkable. It augurs well for the future of the college to see the numbers increasing as they do from year to yeai May they continue to increase until these buildings shall not suffice to contain them; and let each man as he pursues his course in college remember the advice of Sir Thomas Buxton to his sons, — What you know, know thoroughly, and success will crown his efforts. 3 (17) THE INDEX. lb is not without a feeling of sadness that we send our last communication to the Index; for in doing so we feel it is to say good-bye to old friends with whom we soon must part, perhaps never to meet again; but the memory of our pleasant associations will be with us always. And now, Classmates: Let us not be discouraged because our numbers are not as large as we had hoped to have in our last year. Let us rather emulate the worthy deeds of our ancestors, the little band of Pilgrims, who years ago landed on our coast where, The breaking waves dashed high; and, like them, make each obstacle only another incentive to push on, and we shall succeed at last. As upper classmen it devolves upon us to be leaders and mentors of the college in all its workings. May our example be such as can be safely followed, and may our remaining days here at college be so spent as best to fit us for the work that lies before us when we leave our Alma Mater; and let us bear in mind that as the world moves, so must we, or be left behind ; that there is always room (it the top ; and, that if we desire an open road to prosperity and happiness, we must make it ourselves. Our college duties soon must end. As the curtain falls and ' 89 retires from this stage of action, may hers be the welcome plaudit, Well done. T . Junior Class. 90. OFFICERS. President. G. A.

TT CAIN the time has come for the the class of ' 90 to send its greet- @s 1 ing to the readers of the Index, but now, having reached the age of Juniors, we cannot appear as in former times when we were full of stratagems so characteristic of the lower classes. So far upon our College course our experience has been wide and vari- ed, each year bringing forth new elements with which to test our ability. Yet many members of the class who entered are not now with us, death has taken one, others are engaged in their pursuits for life, and only one has joined us from the class lower. We sincerely regret the loss of ' 88 and their kind advice always given for our benefit. Many pleasant memorials recall to us past associations with them. Knowing we had many friends in ' 88, we heartily wish them prosperity in whatever profession of life they may follow. Notwithstanding our losses, we have a bright side to our history. We are now the next to the largest class in College, and a well-organized class it is. Experience has taaght us that in order to accomplish our purposes, we must work together, and this unity is only gained by placing the great- est confidence in each; then we can accomplish wonderful results. In the class-room our instructors have, without doubt, realized our effi- ciency in the sciences, after having faithfully studied the laws which govern the universe or establishing by calculus the distance from earth to infinity, as well as other hidden secrets of nature that have proved worthy of our investigation. Many of our men have taken a lively interest in the athletics of the College and have occupied very prominent positions, but we hope more interest will be taken yet, as there is much room for improvement. In our class games we won a good score from ' 89 in base-ball, but did not succeel so well in foot-ball, although we are well satisfied with the (20) THE INDEX. 21 result. Our base-ball game with ' 91 was lost through the absence of some of our best players. Now that we have a gymnasium there should be more ball players among us, for a gymnasium affords an excellent training for all our ath- letic sports. Among the many improvements which have been made this term is the establishing an observatory on the top of South College tower, thus giving the Juniors an excellent opportunity for star-gazing, saving them the trouble of going down town. By permission of the President, we celebrated Arbor Day by setting two very choice trees between North and South College, replacing those set by ' 72, for the reason that their trees had grown very irregular and injured the beauty of the College grounds. Classmates: Two very important years of our life have passed, and we have entered far upon our third year, soon our College life will end. Amid the scenes of reflections let us see wherein our mistakes have been made, that by so doing we may correct our future by the experience of the past and spend the rest of our College days with profit to ourselves, our friends and those who follow after us.

J I T HE thought arises as we send this, our second, communication to the i- Index, how rapidly our Freshman days have glided by, bringing us around to the enviable position of Sophomores, which is always looked for- ward to with interest by the Freshmen. The feelings with which we came back to College this year are entirely different from what we experienced last year at this time, for our Fresh- man shyness has passed away and more confidence in ourselves has been aroused, causing us to feel that we are indispensable to the institution. One must not for a moment think we intended to be conceited, as there can be no such trait of character attributed to us, for the Class of ' 91 is not char- acterized by that overwhelming sense of importance common to the pre- ceding Sophomore classes; but, on the contrary, has attained a great degree of (gravity), of which kind it is not necessary to (specify). Ten of those who entered with us upon the trials and vicissitudes of the Freshman year have not returned, and as the class was a small one, their loss is keenly felt; but their loss is partially made up by the addition of four new members. It is hoped that those remaining have the determina- tion to finish their course and graduate with the honor due to ' 91. In regard to our intellectual development there is but little to say, except that we certainly have had the chance to broaden our mental facul- ties if we so desired, and without doubt the opportunity has been embraced by every one, so that there has been quite a perceptible addition to our store of knowledge; and now as we come into our Sophomore year there should be a closer application to work, as we find the studies more difficult, and therefore requiring more time and thought. In athletics, ' 91 has been prominent in furnishing men for the College foot-ball and base-ball teams, and although not having had the experience which comes from three years ' practice, as the upper classmen have, yet they take hold with a proficiency which does credit to them and their class. The subject of athletics is coming to be one of great importance in the (23) £4 THE INDEX College, and it is absolutely necessary to have the sympathy of every student to ensure success in this matter, and it depends upon us in a large measure to promote this interest. The ins and outs of College life have been learned with a proficiency quite excelling anything in the line of our regular studies, and we can now converse with the Juniors when they speak of going to see their cousins at Hamp. or Hadley. We would like to ask the Freshmen if they are waiting for their men to grow in order that they may be strong enough to have a rope-pull ? If so we would advise them to try Dr. Barrows ' Phosphate, as that is good for young and growing bones, and perhaps they will be strong enough by their Junior year. Now, Class of ' 91, gather around while we renew the hopes and ambitions with which we started out so resolutely upon our College course, and may we realize more fully the possibilities which lie before, the chances that we have here to make the most of ourselves. We have now fairly started in upon our course, and all that is necessary is diligence to obtain what is more valuable than gold or silver, and that is a cultivated mind. G. Freshman Class. Secretary.

IN submitting an article for the Index to the public gaze, we beg that in her criticisms it may be remembered that this is our iirst con- tribution to the pages of the Index and that we have not as yet, the experience in this form of journalism which comes only by familiarity with the work. The class of ' 92 is one of the largest which has entered the college for several years. This seems not only to be indicative of the value of the class to the college, but to show the gradually increasing interest which the public is taking in the institution. Many members of the class are taking a lively interest in athletic sports and we have succeed- ed in organizing a very fair foot ball team which in the class game played a better game against the sophomores than has any freshman eleven for several years. There is an excellent prospect for a good base ball team in the spring, and we have plenty of good material to put at work in that direction. The rope pull is, as yet, a matter of conjecture. It is hoped, how- ever, that ' 91 will in time gain sufficient backbone to pull us on equal terms, and should that time arrive, we shall be happy to return the compliment, and do all we can to make the contest interesting. The sophomore class which last year lacked, (as a ' 90 man remarked) ; the silica to take part in a rush, seemed to have gained a little of the re- quisite matter this year, but when they had been distributed over the hall and the walk one morning after chapel, the silicious materials seemed to leak out of their boot heels, and such a thing as a rush hasn ' t been heard of since. But of greater importance than these minor affairs of college life, is the fact that we now stand at th e threshold of one of the most important (27; 28 THE INDEX epochs of our lives. It is here that many of us will finish our education, and complete the final preparations for life ' s struggles. As we stand at the beginning of this period of such infinite worth not only to us, but to our friends and associates in future life, may we be impressed with its val- ue and enter faithfully and energetically into the duties as well as the pleasures of college life, with the hope that four years hence we may grad- uate a goodly number, whose careers in after life shall not only be an hon- or to the M. A. C, but shall give credit to ourselves, s. •Co Boston The Christian Gentleman. The art of pleasing is essential to success in life. Without it the highest worth is defrauded of its rightful glory, and real merit is rob- bed of its power. By means of it the man of moderate ability multi- plies his influence a thousand fold ; the man of genius cannot do without it. Of this art every young man should make himself master. A sancti- fied art of pleasing is the substance of the golden rule, and is that which makes godliness profitable for this life, as well as for the world to come. Simon Stylites on the top of his pillar, disgusting men with his agonizing corruption is not the representative character of our religion ; but Jesus Christ, going about among men exerting himself to please. In what does the art of pleasing consist, and how may it be acquir- ed ? This question may best be answered by presenting for our contem- plation a sketch of the Christian gentleman. The disposition of the Christian gentleman is good will to men. He has a benevolent heart. He loves his neighbor as himself, and is pos- sessed of a genuine desire to please. A true simplicity is his. He is free from a propensity to cunning or stratagem. He will have nothing to do with those base and deceitful arts with which the man of the world steals the hearts of the confiding. He hates duplicity. He is al- ways sincere. Whatever may be his rank or station, however great may be his wealth and worth, he is neither proud nor arrogant. The lowly man may approach him with ease and feel at home in his presence. He is no egotist. Unconsciousness of self is one of his most beautiful traits. He thinks and cares for others, sympathizing with them and looking at things from their point of view. The manners of the Christian gentleman are such as become his real character. They are a part of himself. They are natural, the outward manifestation of the man. He understands that he ought to seem to be (29) SO THE INDEX. what he is. He knows that it is just as bad, if not worse, for one who is a real gentleman to disguise himself in the manners of a boor, as it is for the clown to assume the manners of a gentleman. So he makes it his study to give the best possible expression to what he is. The Christ- ian gentleman proclaims himself by the carriage of his body, by the glance of his eye, by the varied expression of the face, by the motion of his head, by the grasp of his hand, by his walk, by the intonation of his voice, and by a thousand other movements which defy analysis; his manners are themselves a song, a poem, eloquence. The Christian gentleman pays proper attention to dress; the apparel oft proclaims the man. You can tell a coxcomb as far as you can see him ; he is a man who has degraded God ' s image into an effigy on which to exhibit fine clothes. The Christian gentleman feels himself to be of more importance than his wardrobe. The dress is subordinated to the man and not the man to the garment. Neither warmth, nor comfort, nor convenience, nor beauty is sacrificed to fashion, or cost or vanity. His great aim is to so arrange his dress as to make himself and others forget it entirely. He does not dress extravagantly, for that would excite envy. He does not dress shabbily, for that would call forth pity. He avoids everything grotesque. He dresses with perfect taste. Above all things he avoids whatever is a sham. He wears no paste for diamonds. His dress is as simple, as honest, as beautiful as his manners and his character. The Christian gentleman is known by his conversation. He despises gossip and hates slander. His speech is pure ; he tells no story and ut- ters no word that he would blush to have understood by the most chaste. He deems it ungentlemanly, as well as wicked, to emphasize his talk with profane oaths. He respects the feelings of others too much to speak lightly of Jesus Christ, or God, whom the Christian loves better than the dearest friend or the nearest relative. He speaks his native lan- guage in its purity. He avoids slang ; for be knows that false syntax, mixed idioms, the prostitution of sublime words to mean uses and slang phrases, betray want of culture, and vulgarity in spite of all disguises ; that they frequently indicate a lack of moral character. The conversa- tion of the Christian gentleman is truthful. He never utters for any purpose a falsehood. He would not lie to escape any difficulty, or to se- cure any reward or emolument. He guards against exaggeration and careless errors. He speaks always with authority, for his declarations may always be relied upon. His conversation never degenerates into an- gry disputation. He is free also from that overbearing dogmatism which mars the character of so many men of real talent. At once instructive and entertaining, with no assumption of airs, he teaches you as though he taught you not. He interests himself in those things which interest THfi iNDtiX 31 you. He discovers your best thoughts and gives to them beautiful ex- pression. He excites those emotions of your heart which please you, and then shares your enjoyment. And, if perchance, he strike a tender chord that reminds you of your grief, he heals the wound with his genuine sympathy. He strengthens your good resolutions with new motives that you had not discovered. Avoiding base ridicule and biting ssrcasm, he cheers you with his genial humor and banishes gloom with his sparkling wit. The Christian gentleman is welcome wherever he goes, for at the head of the table, or the center of the drawing-room, he is the life of the company, and the joy of the social circle. He is recognized and loved wherever seen. All men delight to honor him. If one, then, would make himself master of the art of pleasing, he should take the Christian gen- tleman for his ideal, and strive earnestly to attain to his perfect realiza- tion of the golden rule. c. s. w. ))C EnG- Co- Boston (B4) D.

(39) What of the College ? 7 j S in the varied departments of the world ' s work agricultural industry ®fi is the basis on which all else rests, and the existence of which makes all else profitable and even possible, so in the College of Agriculture, sci- ence, culture and discipline are but the accessories in securing the end for which such an institution is endowed and conducted, and but for which it could have no standing before the public. The standard by which the Agricultural College is to be measured, by which it is to be finally judged as a success or failure, is not the rank it may secure among our older educational institutions, but by its influence in elevating the industry of agriculture and increasing its products, through the men it educates as students, and the principles affecting plant growth which its officers may discover, elucidate and make public property. There- fore its system of instruction, its curriculum, however comprehensive and extended, has one main, final object in view, and that is to make the edu- cation, culture and discipline it gives a practical industrial force, and its farms, farm crops and stock, its conservatories, nurseries and fruiteries, its laboratories, cabinets, apparatus and libraries are only the means for secur- ing the desired end. It is believed that the Trustees of our College, when accepting the great trust committed to them, fully understood and appreciated its intent, and that through good and evil report, when assailed by enemies from without and injudicious friends within, when hindered and thwarted in their efforts by want of pecuniary means, and when supported by legislative favor or private aid, have, without swerving or hesitation, kept that intent in view as their guiding star, and in this course have been ably supported by their faculty corps. It is a little more than twenty-one years since our doors were first opened for the admission of students, nineteen years since agricultural investigations were fairly inaugurated, and seventeen years since the grad- uation of the first class. (40) THE INDEX. 41 Results ai - e now apparent, and our Trustees could with pride and satis- faction give an account of their stewardship. Since 1868 there has been no advance in agricultural science, no positive discovery of principles in any department of agricultural effort, no demon- stration of improved methods to secure the advantage of natural law, no effort made to elevate the farmer and secure him from fraud on the right hand and on the left, but what the College has led the way or been an active co-worker, until at the present time, by general consent, it is the ai-biter of contested questions of science and practice. The number of students who have pursued the full curriculum course and received the State diploma is 288, and the specials who have taken the agricultural course 470. making a total of 758 who have here received preparation for their field of labor. A large proportion of these men are now engaged in their life work. This is quite varied, but it is overwhelm- ingly agricultural. Forty per cent, are engaged in practical agriculture, and a very large number in pursuits intimately connected therewith. Many are teachers of the science and practice of agriculture in tbe field and in the younger agricultural colleges in all parts of our own country and in foreign lands, while many others are officers in the experiment stations of the different States. In one season of financial distress the College farm in its improvement has been the greatest sufferer, yet there has been a steady advance. The grass fields, which in 1868 produced barely 100 tons of hay, have the present year yielded 300 tons. The pasture lands nave increased their feed in the same proportion, and the same may be said of the other farm crops. The botanical, horticultural and floral department, which had no exist- ence in 1868, has grown to large proportions. By the introduction, im- provement, propagation and dissemination of sbrubs, fruit and flowers, it has given a great movement in this direction over a wide extent of country, improving the tastes and beautifying the homes of our people. The College has become an acknowledged power for usefulness in other directions, though strictly attentive to the prime object of its organization, and these results it is believed are but the precursor of still greater ones which the future will unfold.

The College Herd. ] I [ HIS herd consists of forty-seven animals all told, representing five dif- 1 ferent herds— Holstein, Freisians, Jerseys, Devons, Guernseys and Ayr- shires. Only the most prominent animals will here receive special mention. The Holstein Bull, Pledge ' s Empire, two years and eight months old the 10th of November, is a very promising creature ; sired by Empire 588, he by Billy Boelyn 189, and out of Empress 339. Billy Boelyn won seventeen first prizes, and sold for $10,000. Sire ' s Dam, Empress, has a record of giv- ing 19,714 pounds 14 ounces of milk in one year, a trifle over 54 pounds per day, as an average for the whole year. Dam, Pledge 1,506 H. H. B., during the past summer has given the largest yield of milk on record in the world. During July and August she gave a total of 6,105 £ pounds, an average of over 98 pounds per day. For 36 con- secutive days, from July 6 to August 10, she gave 3,601% pounds, or a trifle over 100 pounds per day. The largest yield for any one day was 110) pounds, July 31st. During this time she ran at large in a pasture where there was plenty of good feed and drinking water from a stream that ran through the lot. No additional food was given her except 16 quarts of grain per day up to July 19th ; from then on 20 quarts. Grain fed dry and mixed in the following proportions: 4-9 ground oats, 4-9 coarse middlings, 1-9 corn meal. Occasionally a little oil cake was fed with the grain. Pledge is seven years old, sired by Billy Boelyn, and out of Plenty 542. Among the Jerseys is Edithson, 8,948 A. J. C. C, six years old ; sired by Ramapo 4,679, who took the double gold medal at the New York State Fair in 1885. Dam, Lass Edith 6,290, half Alphea blood. She has a record of 17 pounds 8 ounces of butter in seven days, after second calf. Sire ' s dam, Eurotas, has a record of 22 pounds 7 ounces butter in seven days, and 778 pounds in eleven months. There is nothing to attract attention among the Devons, except, per- haps, the size of Bull Senator. He weighs just one ton. Among the Guernseys the chief attraction is Fanny 410, aged 10 years. Sire and Dam both on the Island of Guernsey. She has a record of 16) pounds butter in seven successive days, on feed from an average pasture, with two quarts of corn meal per day. She has won two silver medals, be- sides taking first and second premiums at different State and County fairs. During the past summer it was estimated that four quarts of her milk would produce one quart of cream, she having no feed except what she could get from an ordinary pasture. There is nothing worthy of special mention among the Ayrshires. (45) Meteor olgical. A Brief Outline of the Work to be Conducted by Prof. C. D. Warner at Mass. Agricultural College. TT7 HE extreme top of the tower of South College has been removed, and a -L platform 10-4 square substituted. The room immediately beneath, which heretofore was used only as a store-room occasionally, has been finished off, and is to contain the instruments to be used in this work. This observatory is patterned after the general plan of the one at Central Park, New York, con- ducted by Dr. Daniel Draper, though, of course, on a much less elaborate plan. The following instruments will be used; made and patented by said Dr. Draper: Draper ' s Self -Recording Thermometer, which will give a permanent and con- tinuous record of the temperature at all times; Draper ' s Sun Thermometer, registering the amount of sun-light ; Draper ' s Self -Recording Mercurial Bar- ometer; Draper ' s Direction of Wind, Velocity of Wind, Force of Wind and Rain Guage. Space will not permit of a description of these instruments. Suffice it to say they are the best obtainable. As far as possible, a complete record of all meteorological phenomena will be kept. The temperature and pressure of atmosphere, quantity of sun-light, direction, velocity and force of wind, amount of rain-fall and depth of snow will be noted. All electrical phenomena, quantity of electricity in the atmos- phere, magnetic disturbances, and the general appearance of the heavens will be recorded. Daily, weekly and monthly records will be kept, bound and placed among the archives of the station for future reference. Especial attention will be given to the subject of dews, which is occupying so much attention at present. Various experiments will be tried in connection with this subject. The reason why we have so many late, cold, north winds some springs, and not others, will be looked into. Also the causes of various disturbances of the atmosphere — for instance, the turning of a storm from the track in which it started, compelling it to travel in an entirely different direction from that in which it moved at the outset, will be investigated, and brought to light as far as possible. (46) Class Poem. CLASSMATES, almost three years we ' ve spent In our pursuit of knowledge, And only one more year is left Before we ' re done with College. And as we pass without these doors Into our work of life, Let us all try to fit ourselves To the burden of the strife. Each man must fashion his own life ; We ' ll find it always so, But if each one will help himself The Lord will help, we know. We ' ll scatter over all the world, In many different lands, While some among us may be known In undertakings grand. Some will go North and some go South, Yet no one can foresee But what he ' ll soon be called upon To dwell in eternity. Then let us act from day to day With purpose clear and wise, So when this fleeting life is done We ' ll meet above the skies. (47) Not Lost, But Gone Before. TT7HE marriage choice of others is the inscrutable puzzle of those 1 who have no eye for the fact that such choice is the great match of cajolery between purpose and invisible hazard, with the blessedness of many lives for stake, as intention happens to cheat acci- dent or to be cheated by it.

TVT OT least among the pleasures of the Aggie student, are the visits © i to the annual cattle shows, which occasions are hailed as gala days, in the midst of the dreary routine of college life. During the present year we have been more highly favored than in previous ones, as to the number and quality of shows exhibited. Of course, we had a day off to attend our own county show at Amherst, and despite the dampening effects of rain, and a postponement, it proved to be one of the finest exhibits the society ever held. Later on we were pleased to accept a cordial invitation, sent us by the committee in charge, to attend, as a military company, the cattle show to be held at Belchertown on Oct. 2nd; the number of men to be limited to fifty, the expenses of coming and going to be defrayed by them, and a dinner to be furnished free of charge. Of our entertainment there we can speak only in the highest terms. A prominent feature was the turkey dinner, served by the ladies of the M. E. Church. Words fail us in our attempt to express the satisfaction we experienced while partaking of the abundance there provided, either as to the quality of the viands, the manner in which we were served, or the refreshing glimpses of the intelli- gent and attractive faces of our entertainers, that we occasionally caught as they moved about among the tables and to and from the kitchen while waiting upon us. In the afternoon we were to have given an exhibition drill, but owing to the inclement weather nothing but dress parade was at- tempted. After supper we fell into line, the company was put in motion, and to the tune of The Girl I Left Behind Me turned our backs to the scene of the day ' s pleasures, with a mixture of feelings, the predominant one being that, despite the disagreeable state of the weather, the day had been an enjoyable one. Six days after this trip occurred the nee plus ultra of our anticipa- tions, namely, a trip to Springfield to attend the second exhibition of the 174) THE INDEX. 75 Bay State Agricultural Society. At seven o ' clock on the morning of Oct. 8th the assembly was sounded, and the battalion formed in line, then marched to the Central Massachusetts station and took the train for Spring- held, via Northampton. On board the cars military restrictions were relaxed and our trip enlivened by many an old chestnut college song. We arrived at Springfield about ten o ' clock, and falling into line the bat- talion marched to Hampden Park to the lively music of the drum corps. After stacking arms near the grand stand the battalion broke ranks, a guard was detailed to take charge of the equipments, and we were at liberty to ramble at will about the grounds, examining the fine stock, machinery, etc., on exhibition. At two o ' clock the assembly was sounded, the battalion formed and marched to the track in front of the grand stand, where dress parade was formed under the inspection of Gov. Ames and staff, followed by a sabre drill, which was well applauded by the spectators. Then came the long tramps through Horticultural Hall, which were enjoyed and appreciated to a greater or less extent by all. As we looked at the dis- play of fruit from the Aggie farm we could not help wondering from what part of the college domains such enticing looking fruit had been gathered, for, during our rambles over the farm, we had never met with anything half so tempting. Of course, not having made special search for anything of the kind, such an oversight on our part is excusable; still, we could not help wondering for all that. In the evening some went to see a presentation of McKenna ' s Flirtation at the Opera House, while others visited with friends in or about the city. The next day, after visiting various points of interest or taking another look at the exhibits, we boarded the train at about five o ' clock and were, all too soon, obliged to wend our way back to our college quarters. Thus it is we enjoy the short respites from the tedium of college routine, and for the sake of those that come after, we earnestly hope that trips to various points of interest, as a college, will become an established custom in the years to come. Tale of the Cannon Racket. IN THREE PARTS. PART I. You whose hearts are full of mischief, While your College life are living, Who believe that in all ages Each and every heart is human, That in every student ' s bosom There are longings, yearnings, strivings, To put up little rackets On the simple, silly Freshmen. You, who once have felt these yearnings, Though your College life ' s completed, You, who now start in upon it, Listen to this simple story; Listen to the Cannon Racket. In a peaceful, placid valley, Where a pleasant water courses, Lies a quiet little village; And about a mile beyond it Stands the grand old Aggie College. There it is an honored custom (76) THE INDEX. 77 For the Freshmen, ' ere the year ends, To attempt a celebration. Now the reckless Sophs, who dwell there Do not wish to hear the booming Of the Lieut ' s two big brass cannon, As they echo o ' er the campus At about the hour of midnight. So one Wednesday, ' ere the term closed All the Freshmen got together, And the Juniors came to help them, To prepare a mighty scheme there, Which would balk the class of ' 90 In the bold, bad undertaking Which ' twas thought they would engage in. ' Twas the stealing of their cannon That the Freshmen wished to hinder. When the hour of drill was over They were gathered on the campus. Quick they seized upon a cannon, Braced their muscles all together. Billy Pond was head director With the help of Woodbury Junior, And the line of march was taken Bapidly across the campus To the Armory, barred and bolted. Deacon Gay was there, with glasses, Watching, lest that class of ' 90 Should make one last, bold endeavor To obtain the sole possession Of, at least, the sponge and rammer. But the Sophs, were out of hearing Quiet all, as on a Sunday. So they pushed it through the doorway, Ruggie heaving on the rear wheel, Long-legged Carpenter assisting. Even Kizer, Mike, and Tutsy, Came around to do the bossing. And at last they rolled it in there, Saw that all the locks were fastened Then departed, well contented That the Sophs, they ' d circumvented By this easy undertaking. 78 THE INDEX. PART II. ' Twas a Thursday eve in June time, Dark and foggy were the heavens; All the students there were sleeping, And the Freshmen, ail were dreaming Of the way they ' d beat poor ' 90 ; When, a little after midnight, Each on tiptoe softly stepping, Noiseless forms passed down the stairway, Out across the campus glided To the Armory, barred and bolted, Where was safely placed the cannon. Jack was out and so was John S ; Marblehead was represented, Hadley, Berlin, Westfield, Dedham, Ashby, Littleton, and Cuba. All the towns that could be thought of, Had sent out a delegation. Quickly to a window went they, Raised it up and then they entered, Tried the door, and soon it yielded To the unknown code of tactics Which the men had come prepared with. Softly now a few went in there By the side of the lone cannon. While without , the rest were watching, Lest some poor belated student Should by chance come wandering by there. THE INDEX. 79 Many times they started moving, But some sudden noise would stop them. Rich, was hindered by his best girl Prom retiring to his slumbers At his usual early hour. But at last all was auspicious And the time for action coming, Gently back — the door — they pushed it, Fearing, lest the creaking hinges Should disturb the peaceful slumber Of the unsuspecting Freshmen. Seized they then the brazen field piece, Seized they every one upon it, And with greatest care, preventing E ' en the slightest sound escaping Rolled they it upon the greensward. Then the line of march was taken Down the roadway, towards the barnyard, Round the corner by the sheep-pen Where they stopped, and gathered quickly All the implements for digging. Then, within the sheep-pen going, They commenced their task of labor. Soon a grave was dug as deeply As would hold a class of Freshmen. Then dismounting piece, they laid it Gently in the grave ' s wide bosom. Back again, they took the limber, Quietly placed it in the Armory And the other piece they drew off, Which they put with its companion In the grave prepared so well there, In the sheep-pen by the barnyard. Carefully they threw the earth back, Scattered straw with skill upon it, Stamped it down, then drew the sheep-rack O ' er the place of excavation, Lest the Freshmen, in their searching, Should discover signs of burial. To destroy all trace of wheel tracks, Went those men into the milk-room, Took the hose and sprinkled water, O ' er the earth for yards about there. JO THE INDEX Now at last their labor ended As the dawn was coming fast. To their bedrooms they ascended And again all slumbered sound. Thus it was that ' 90 got there, And, with skill no craft could beat, Spoilt the racket of the Freshmen And returned in peace to sleep. PART III. Gleefully arose the Freshmen, Thought they then with great delight Of the way they ' d saved their cannon By the Juniors ' good advice. Soon they started out for breakfast, They must eat strong food to-day, For to-night ' s the celebration, And their strength must be kept up. As they walk along the campus Lo! they see one piece is gone, But of course the other ' s ready, Kept by two or three strong locks; Still they think they ' ll take a peep in Just to see how nice it looks. But one glance has made them shiver, For they see their cannon ' s gone. Consternation rises quickly, Where? How? When? What shall we do ? Are the questions that come pouring THE INDEX As they gather in a crowd. Richy says, Class meeting quickly. There they talk, ' tis little good, For they cannot be decided On the thing they ' d better do. Out they come and then they scatter, O ' er the country far and near, Looking in the strangest places For the means to shoot this evening. Down the drains, and in the cornfield, In the swamp, and ' round the barn, Wander the heart-sickened Freshmen, As they try to find their gun. Farmer Wright, who knows their greenness, Gives them each a fork in hand, And down cellar quickly speed they Where they labor, but in vain. Thus the day is spent in looking For the guns they never found, And by evening they are tired, Both in body and in mind. Still they think that noise they must have, And they to the mortal ' s go; But again they are disheartened, For the noise their powder made Did not reach the ears of students Who near by in slumber lay. Thus the Freshmen ' s night was ended, And ' tis said by all around ' Twas the poorest ever held here, Thanks to ' 90 ' s skill so sound. Annales. 1887. DEC. 1. Labor on the ' 90 Index begins. 8.

I have seen in you the angel of my secret adorations and words are a little less than nothing to express my feelings. 1 love you as the butterflies love the sweet flowers from which they suck the honey. I love you as Abelardo loved Eloise ; Paulo, Virginia, and Romeo, Juliet. As a wrecked mariner clings to the life-preserver, which in the dark tem- pest and among the turbulent waves is his only hope of salvation, so my darling, do I cling to you. Fail me, Oh fail me not. Let thy love buoy up my soul. Take me for thine own, and by your acceptance of my all, save me from a dark fortune, turning fear into gladness, earth into heaven! Don Quixote. Stray Whiskers. EROF.

April — , Whereas, It is generally understood and acknowledged that the farmer is a brute, and by his profession wholly and utterly incapable of enjoying or in the slightest degree appreciating those pleasures of life which are known among men as social, and Whereas, In times past efforts have been made which, if continued, are likely to dangerously alter public sentiment in this respect. Resolved, That WE, the undersigned members of on this day of April of the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and do hereby denounce and abolish from this time forth and forever all efforts to improve in any way shape or manner, by any means whatsoever, the social life and privileges of the students of the Mas- sachusetts Agricultural College; and, further, Resolve, That as an aid to the above humane sentiment, we throw open the gateway which leads to the slums of the street. And be it further Resolved, That in so doing we are not only saving OURSELVES much needless trouble and anxiety for our respected and beloved proteges, but are doing an act worthy of gentlemen of our standing and pulling wool over the eyes of the public in general. Signed, Members of Notice. — We are happy to announce that the sentiment expressed in the above has to some slight degree been modified during recent years, but there is still further opportunity for improvement in this direction.— Ed. (90) Stolen Thunder. 1 I T HERE is a youth whose eyes and hair -L Are of a darkish hue, Whose face was always bland and bare, Till after studious thought and care, A gen tle moustache grew. In the seclusion of his room He studies night and day; His modest features ne ' er assume Ecstatic joy or dreary gloom, Nor arrogance display. His time-piece on his table lies: With measured promptitude, Each moment ' s duties he descries, And Time ' s demands at once supplies, In steady working mood. His task it is the bell to ring, To call the classes in; Upon the bell-rope doth he cling, Before ' tis time the bell to swing, And at the dot begin. And as the bell rings out its cbimes, Then tolls its steady stroke, Then rings again its half-way rhymes, Then tolls along, and lastly mimes Rush of a rapid brook. It seems the manner to resound Of him who rings the bell; To place in order duties found, And only in its proper round Upon each one to dwell.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. SAMUEL CLARENCE THOMPSON, ' 72, HENRY FRANCIS HUBBARD, ' 78, JOHN ASHBURTON CUTTER, M. D., ' 82. The Club was called into existence by seven graduates and two non- graduates, who met at the ARISTON October 27, 1886. December 10 the organization became permanent by vote of over twenty-five graduates and non-graduates at a dinner at Martinelli ' s. The second dinner followed in December of 1887 at Clark ' s, where the Club will hereafter dine. These dinners are a success. Some travel comparatively Jong distances to attend, and all present are busy men, who take it to be a delight to come together as children of our dear Alma Mater, meet those who have not been seen for years, recall memories of past glorious days, hear an account of the actual condition of the institution, rejoice over its progress, and finally part say- ing that the best thing they ever did was to enter the M. A. C. All guests of the Club are considered its honorary members, and all graduates and non-graduates who dine with the Club its active members. Fees are assessed at the time of the dinner for the expenses of printing and per plate, but there is no constitution, neither are there any by-laws. The next dinner will be held December 14. The Club usually dines at 7:30 o ' clock, to accommodate those coming late from business, and hereafter arrangements will be made so that the parlors at Clark ' s will be open in the latter part of the afternoon for social intercourse. It is earnestly desired that all graduates and non-graduates of the M. A. C. who have not before received notice of the Club ' s dinners, or who have changed their addresses, will communicate with the Secretary-Treas- urer, Dr. J. A, Cutter, The Ariston, Broadway and 55th Street, New York. November 12, 1888. (96) the index 97 HONORARY MEMBERS. President Henry H. Goodell, Amherst. Ex-Professor and Captain Charles Morris, U. S.
