EDITORIAL, ' isr placing before the public the inner life of another event- ' i fill year of the M. A. C, we have presented matters just ?m as we found them. We could not manufacture truths and _ T have not tried. This issue of the Index introduces no new custom, but merely continues an old one. The present board of editors have been surrounded by the usual college influences, such as the Faculty, chapel and class exercises, athletics, the Junior ' s Beloved, and the usual amount of perils and midnight adven- tures of the Freshmen. Thus situated, it will not seem strange, notwithstanding our exhausting attempts to be origi- nal, if the present volume follows in many respects the ruts made by our predecessors. But originality has not been our only aim. As loyal students we have endeavored to represent that, which to a gi ' eat extent moulds our character while here, and to show the magnitude and development of the college. And now, dear reader, hoping there is nothing left out from within these pages which should go to make up the history of the past year, we present this, the twenty-first vol- ume of the Index, with these few words of advice, which we beg of you not to treat lightly. Your fifty cents paid, betake yourself and book to the in- nermost seclusion of your room and fortify yourself against all expectations either good or bad. If in looking through the results of our labor, you find aught to please you, we shall be well paid. If things be found which otherwise affect you, it is your misfortune, and we are sorry for you. If you have erred and we have found you out, then blame yourself, not us, and go correct yourself. If truth seems overdrawn, blame truth for stretching. With this we offer our production. May peace and joy be with you as we hope it may with us. (7) (8) OFFICERS , . !MASS rAGRiCULTURAL CQLLEGEl (9) BOARD OF TRUSTEES. MEMBERS EX- OFFICIO. His Excellency, Gov.

UR college life is nearly finished, and our final communication to the Index is herewith presented. In looking back over our four short years here, what varied experiences we must recall. We can see again how green we looked and felt, when in the fall of 1886, we fii ' st beheld oui- college ; and we can trace oui- progress through the wearisome Freshman days, along the wicked road of the Sophomore and the lazy one of the Junior, until we have, as Seniors, reached our last stage of college life. In a few short months we shall disappear among the people as Alumni, never probably to meet again as a whole class. Reviewing our course, we recognize how many opportunities we have lost, and how much more we might make of our course if we could begin it again. But the past can only be recalled in our thoughts, while the future lies before us, full of opportunities which we may seize and use for our good or evil. As a class, we might perhaps style ourselves as no better or worse than the average. While we may not have any man among us whose brilliancy will overturn the world, yet we may console ourselves with the thought that neither is there any one of us who is not able, with the training that we have received, to make his mark in the world. We have generally been foremost in the athletic contests in which it has. been our fortune to engage. We were the last class to enjoy the danger and excitement of the cane rush, in which of course we were victorious. Carrying off the rope in our Freshman pull, we have kept up our good record as leaders, even till to-day. The Faculty seems to have got along with us very well on the whole, the only occasion when we have differed, being in regard to our preferring to at- tend a base-ball game instead of a recitation. For that we suffered the severe (?) penalty of probation, yet we managed to bear up under this fearful pun- ishment. 2 (17) 18 tltE INbEl. Prom the forty odd men with which we entered, we have diminished until but twenty are left, but of course these are the cream of the class. Our class- mates have left us for various reasons. Some have withdrawn of their own free will, and some from the free will of the Faculty. Some have turned to the educational privileges of other institutions, while others, feeling that they needed two years in which to do one year ' s work, have become discouraged and left. The majority of these have perhaps been of no real loss to the class, though many were fellow s whose presence would have been of honor and value. Years hence, as we retm ' n to our class and society reunions, we shall get to- gether and talk over the good old times we used to have in college, wonder what has become of all our lady friends, tell of our various victoi ' ies and ad- ventures, and live again those dear old days, now so neai ' ly ended. But Classmates, the period is approaching when we must leave our boyish pursuits and ei ter into the great whirlpool of life. A few months only are left in which to make our final preparations for the strife. Each of us has the power to make something of himself, if he only chooses to improve it. Two roads are open to us, one leading to Agi ' iculture and For- tune, and the other to dishonor and destruction. Let us choose the former, so that when our days are ended, it may be said that the world is better for our having lived in it. T. JDNIOR CLASS. ' 91, OFFICERS. H. T. SHORES, President. L. F.

The months have rapidly passed by, bringing us to our Junior year, and the middle of our college course. We gladly assume the position of Juniors with the responsibilities which arise from bringing the Freshman class up in the way they should go, yet we shall never cease to regret the loss of our old friends of ' 89, who fostered us through our college childhood ; and shall always have a special regard for those of whom we thought so highly, and trust that we may be able to fill their places with fitting dignity. There seemed to have been an inpression among us that when we should be- come Juniors there would be a relaxation in our work and we could take life a little more easily. Alas for all such expectations. Instead of a decrease there was so decided an increase (especially in certain species of polyps, and in the number of pages of Rhetoric), that we concluded life was not all a dream, though a song to the contrary has often been heard about college. In athletics, ' 91 has held its own in every case, although in the class game of hase hall with the Seniors the score was a tie, nevertheless had the game con- tinued we sliould without doubt have been victorious. Ill foot ball, as usual, we furnish some of the heaviest men on the team, and are ready at any time to dispute the championship. There seems to be a decided tendency toward tenuis this year. The game appears to have won universal favor among tlie fellows, for they begin to see there is as much skill in the game as there is in any field sport, and we think 110 one will dispute us, when we say that ' 91 contributes some of the finest play- ers in college to this game. (20) THE INDEX. 21 Out of consideration for the classes who follow us, we should like to give a little advice, and that is, work diligently on that sixth of an acre ; till the soil, and you will see grand results, either on your hands or in the increase of your vocabulary. We have all been there before, many a time, so we can safely advise in regard to the matter. One of the pleasantest occasions we have ever had, and one that will always be remembered by us, is the trip we took under the direct ion of Prof. Maynard to the vineyards about Fitchburg and the market gardens around Boston. We have now reached the third stage in our intellectual development, and begin to wind around us the fine thread of experience and knowledge, which goes to make up the firm fabric of our education. May we so weave our web that it will stand criticism from the keen eyes of the world, for the slightest flaw will be detected. The next two years will fly by only too quickly, therefore let us settle down to the work set before us, determined to gain all we can that will help us bring honor upon ourselves and upon our friends.

It is true that we are much diminished in numbers, yet it is to be remembered that it is only the laggards who fall behind, while the strong men and true keep to the front, and although our ranks have been pretty well thinned during the past year, yet our associations have bound us all the more closely together, and we have perhaps become stronger rather than the weaker by our loss. In the matter of sports and athletics, that factor so important in every col- lege, our class has shown great enthusiasm. Not only have our representatives been prominent in the college foot-ball and base-ball teams, but the class has been first and foremost with financial aid, and has contributed heartily to their support. In the base-ball field, our men have done particularly fine work, botli in class games and with the regular team. After being disappointed in our hopes for a rope-pull last year, we had antic- ipated our contest with ' 93 all the more eagerlJ The Freshmen for some time were indisposed to give us a trial, but finally concluded to enter into a contest in which we were the easy victors, being the first Sophomore class to carry off the rope pull honors for several years. Our class game of foot-ball is still a matter of uncertainty, but unless our Fi-eshnian friends an ti ' oubled with another attack of weakness, we shall en- deavor to make tlieir entertainment a cordial one and give them plenty to do. So classmates, let us extend the hand of good fellowship as we look over the past of our collogo, and as we remember that but three sliort years must pass (24) Thr index. 25 ere our dream of life ' s battles become realities, and college life with its pleas- ures and duties alike becomes but a chimei ' a of the past. May we estimate the remainder of our work here at its true worth, and may we accomplish it in a manner woi ' thy of its value. s. FRESHMAN CLASS, ' 93, OFFICERS. E. LEHNERT, Prksident. J. R.

Krt rt ° sincerely hope that in submitting this, our first literary work to 9 - ' the public, that you will in criticising it take into consideration that it is our first attempt, and that we have been in such a whirl of excitement since entering upon the duties of college life, that we are unable to give a very thrilling report of ourselves. Our class is a medium sized one, there being thirty-seven members at present, although a number of others took their entrance examinations with us, but thought it to be for their advantage to wait another year before commencing their college life. Although we fell behind ' 93 a little in numbers, yet we trust to make up in quality what we lack in quantity. Cane rushing, we are happy to say, is a thing of the past. Nevertheless the Sophomores appeared on the campus, during a ball game, with a stick, when but few Freshmen were present, but finding our numbers were fast increasing, the cane soon disappeared-. The annual rope-pull is as yet an uncertain thing, but we shall have one with out doubt if the two classes can agree upon suitable terms. Not much has been done as yet in the foot-ball line, but we are hopeful of making a good showing against the upper class men, which we certainly can if each member of the class who has any foot-ball in him whatever, will only give a few minutes each day to its practice. The class as a whole contains material that is unusually good, onlj ' lacking in the knowledge and practice of the game. The base-ball material is at present undeveloped. But we hope to be able to put a comparatively good team upon the campus for the purpose of holding uv our end of the national game with the upper classes. We have not yet had the ojiportunity of measuring our strength and silica (as ' 9i terms it), with that of the Sophomores in rushes, as the schedule of exer- (28) THE INDEX. 29 cises prevents us from meeting on eitlier the stairs in the old chapel or on the botanic museum path. There has been but a very little of the usual room stacking. And as for hazing (that terror of Freshmen), none whatever has been indulged in, we are bappy to say. Some of our number have already undergone those unlocked for tortures and withstood the fury of that mysterious goat, and are now enjoying unexpected pleasures and privileges. But let us pass from these, our trials and tribulations, to the real purpose of college life. Most of us very likely have entered college with a purpose in view ; let us then ever keep this purpose before us and especially let us make a good beginning, for a thing well begun is half done. Many a student has failed in attaining his purpose in college simply because he did not work in the beginning, and finding himself behind, did not have the courage to make good the deficienc y. Then let us take heed, so that after having spent our four years here, we can look back and see that we did justice to ourselves and Professors. And if we do justice to ourselves we will become worthy alumni of the M. A. C, and also worthy citizens of the Commonwealth. C. Agriculture as She is Taught. WE have found it ! We have unfolded and are about to present to the public a fact, which but for the very observing powers of the class of ' 91, might and probably would for centuries to come, have remained among the many mysteries of science. But we should do great injustice to ourselves if we should develop so valuable knowledge without relating what vve experienced in acquiring it, for no one can truly appreciate the worth of a contribution to science without knowing something of its cost ; so it well becomes us to give you simply an outline of the troubles we were called upon to endure. On the morning of March .5th, 1889, the class of ' 91 was a happy body ; happy because the winter term with its confinements was nearly over, and soon to be followed by one which suggests to the minds of every student one more suited to out-door sports than for the study of books; but above all, happy when they contrasted their present condition with that of those students who in the earlier history of the college were obliged by the college authorities to work a certain number of hours each week upon the farm ; a practice which was not slow in showing its foolishness. But upon entering Prof. Brooks ' s recitation j-oom on that day all was changed for as we saw him standing, chalk in hand, writing upon one corner of a large blackboard, which still remained unmarked, we fairly shook at the idea of copying so much into our note books. Words cannot describe our astonish- ment and no one who was not there can even imagine the expression which sprang to our faces when Prof. Brooks moderately informed us that what we observed upon the board were the rules and regulations to be followed in the cultivation of one-sixth of an acre, which, as he said, was to be set off west of the dormitories for that siiecial purpose. Tlie pride of each man was abased, and was not only superseded by a feeling of anger, but (strange to say) each man could not help wishing that Japan had not allowed to have slipped away from her an idea peculiarly adapted to inexperienced agriculturists. Having recovered from our first attack, we were told that we should be com- (30) fim li DF.t. 31 pelled to prepare plans, containing our system of work intended in detail, which must be handed to him at a short time hence. During this discussion, Prof. Brooks even dared to poi-tray a man in full dress tugging away upon a plot a second season, should he fail to attain a certain standard the first year. He informed us that the profits would be divided into two unequal parts, two- thirds of these to be again divided among the entire class, while the remaining one-third was in turn to be separated into three prizes — first, second and third — to be granted to such members as held these respective places in this work. He said the land would be free, the tools furnished, and that he saw nothing to hin- der us from making a fortune even while attending college. At last the bell rings, we during that hour, having passed through the success- ive stages of amazement, provocation, anger and fiattery, were glad to see the outside of that room again. Although we would not for an instant have any one suspect that a member of this class when not excited could break the third commandment, we fear as we now think of it that the pure air was tainted with words, during the remainder of that day, not to be found in a dictionary. For a few successive days each man made an experiment in the ground of fallacy, to see if he could find a reason satisfactory to Prof, by which he might escape the common law, but each man attained the same result, viz: — as seed sown upon a poor soil for whatever the Professor in charge agreed to, the President was sure to veto. Strange questions naturally arose as we went into the agricultural recitation room from day to day ; sonie wishing to know how any one who is working his way through college can spend his time upon such nonsense, while one man even dared ask who was going to do the work upon the plots. At last the day for the plans to be handed in dawned, and with them came a variety of ideas. Each one showed marks of great thought on the authoi ' s part in securing that crop which would require little or no labor. Quite a number select potatoes, one selects beets, others ensilage corn or field corn, while Brown is fully persuaded that nothing short of a good plot of corn would warrant to him the first prize. Hull and Field can imagine nothing more beautiful than a field of squashes, while Lage thinks there is an immense hid- den pasture to be disclosed only when his would-be crop of rice is grown. Gay thinks that a slovenly culture is well-suited both to the conditions of himself and to those of a crop of pop corn, so he wastes no time in selecting that crop. Paige having dreamed of beans for three nights in succession, forthwith chooses that. At length the land is fitted and seed-time is at hand, but not a student ap- pears upon the plots. Finally, Johnson, fearing lest his conscience would be- come irrecoverably hardened if he should much longer disobey its teachings, went down and dedicated the field on a Saturday morning and by the next Tuesday night one care-worn man is stricken from the list of would-be-planters. Duiing 32 tHEjlNDEX this same week Tuttle made an extra effort to plant his oats, but since the weeks were so short and the days as merely nothing, the Saturday following sees some of his oats unplanted. Sawyer, after having worried for two weeks after planting time about what might have been concludes that there is no time like the present, and his crop is sown beneath the sod. So it goes, crop after ci-op is planted, nothing unusual happening, unless it be that Arnold, Belden, Gay and Phillips arose one morning soon after cock-crow- ing and planted the latter ' s crop. Well, owing to some reason or other the crops were left for nature to bring up, and as might reasonably be expected the aspect looking west from the dormitories suggested to the Sophomore class, at least, a go as you please system. Since the race was open to all, both weeds and the respective crops entered for the contest. IS o hoes were allowed upon the track, and although the crop had all the advantage that Prof. Brooks ' s encouragement could give them, they had the good-will of the Sophomore class against them, and so we honestly be- lieve that each stood an equal chance to win. Nevertheless, it did not take long to see that the weeds had not only got the inside track, but were also get- ting in the way of the crop. A few students having got a little feeling of re- spect remaining for the impression which the present condition of the crops would leave upon any who might see them, went down even on Commencement week and hoed them a trifle. Prof. Brooks took a few friends down to visit them during Commencement, but a word concerning them escaped not from the mouths of, nor was a friend invited to visit them by a member of ' 91 during that time. No one experiences any sorrow at being called upon to leave the crop in somebody else ' s care during the vacation, but all have a desire that before they come back as Juniors their crop may all be harvested. Upon Brown fell the care of them during the summer, and he passed away his time, in counting smutty blades of straw, spending his half hours examining the crops, hoeing a little occasionally, now and then picking bugs, etc. By the way : — although a matter of minor importance, it might be well to remark just here that this work was to be carried out in the form of an experiment. At length the vacation is over and we come back, onlj ' to see most of our crops standing in the field. Days roll by and finally it is time for them to be shel- tered. Let us notice the crops which were gotten. Johnson gets twenty-four bushels of potatoes. Sawyer and Phillips a crop ea( ' h of weeds with a few potatoes as a supplement; Homer, a few beets; Field and Hull respectivel} a bushel, and a bushel and a half of squashes; Legate gets what corn the domestic animals l)clonging to the farm don ' t; and Lage gets— left. It undoubtedly would ))(■ interesting to some to know how the experiments THE INDEX. 33 came out. Well, Tuttle proved that his (wild) oats were sowed too early and too thick ; Johnson, that he wasn ' t made for a farmer ; Shores, that green fod- ders cannot be had without labor; Sawyer, a firm believer of the command, ' ' let your moderation be known unto all men ; Lage proved a failure ; Belden, that Freshmen help is essential in harvesting crops ; Eames, that work and him- self are no friends; Magill, that of the two kinds of help, hired help is the best; and Brown attained two results, viz: that his summer ' s job was an easy and paying one, and in carrying on these experiments he got the best end of the bargain, looking at it from a financial standpoint. Now after having given a small part of our experience, we are prepared to amplify our first sentence. It is a fact that when any one performs a great work or makes a valuable discovery, that he or she will generally keep silence about it until after insuring themselves a life-long benefit from it. Not so with us; we offer unhesitatingly and unreservedly to the public the benefit of our discovery, and it applies especially to the farmers. It is as follows: — That in the future as there has been in the past there are two paths ; the former has for its Eastern star the results obtained at the college experimental stations which leads on to success. The latter has at one corner publications of the above experiments, set up as a guide-board, and this road leads to utter failure. Choose ye the former. (84) (35) (36) D. G, K.

(41) An Obstacle to Progress, If the earth is small, America is large, and the Americans are immense! fUCH is one of the opening sentences in a recent work on America by one , ,. of the most acute of French observers, who throughout his work makes evident everywhere how stronglj ' the over-weening self-pride of our country- men impressed him. This should afford wholesome food for reiiection to every American. Do we as Americans have too great an opinion of our country and of ourselves ? It is a fact, well known to all perhaps, that the natives of every country hold a sufficiently good opinion of themselves. Even the Chinaman, whom we look upon as unfit to mix with our people and whom we pass Acts of Congress to exclude, when at home, dwells in the Flowery Kingdom, the Celestial Empire, and looks upon those unfortunate enough to be born else- where as outside baibarians. Fortunate is it, no doubt, for the spirit of patriotism, nay even for individual human happiness, this characteristic of thinking well of ourselves and that which pertains to us. It is only when we allow our self-satisfaction to blind our eyes to the possibility of anything bet- ter, to make us slow to look aromid us for it, or even to receive it when we see it, that this characteristic becomes undesirable. Are we as American citizens, farmers and agricultural students, open to the charge of being too conceited, too apt to remain satisfied with things American, and to think there can be no need of studying the ways and methods of other countries ? Fortunately we have among us a considerable number of cosmopolitan minds; we have, too, natives of all countries; we are not therefore, likely to stagnate or to remain in ignorance of the world about us : but the average American f ai ' mer or farmer ' s son is slow to conceive or to admit new ideas. Yet how should we expect anything different when only a very few years since one of our national representatives was heard to exclaim in the halls of Congress, what do we care for abroad ? Is not the spirit displayed according to the storj by the Boston lady in heaven, between whom and a friend still on earth telephonic communication had been established and who in response to a query as to how she liked it up there, replied in effect that it was all very well but ended, it isn ' t Boston you know, a spirit far too common not only in that city but also in the states of which it is the commercial center ? Not long since the secretary of one of our leading Agricultural Societies was heard to remark after thanking an exhibitor for a contribution of some rare and certainly most excellent foreign beans and grains to the display : — They are no doubt very fine, but the American farmer is loyal to his own beans. Yes — loyal to his own beans, — stuck in his own ruts, — do not these phrases (43) THE INDEX. 43 express the condition of far too many among our farmers ? A Chicago gentle- man, after an animated discussion with an acquaintance, also American, who ventured against the indiscriminate praise of things American by the former, to offer a few criticisms and to suggest some points in which perhaps Ameri- cans might learn of other Nations, remarked beyond the hearing of his oppo- nent to another acquaintance : — I don ' t think much of that man, I like to see an American stand up for his own country. Is not the spirit displayed by this remark typical of many New England farmers ? May we not find among us, almost in the shadows of our college, farmer prototypes of the countryman who balanced the grain in one end of the bag with a rock in the other ? A good illustration of the spirit against which I write is afforded by the his- tory of the attempts to reclaim the Green Harbor Salt Marsh in South Marsh- field. The exclusion of the salt water by a dike and flood-gates, and the drain- age of the marsh could not be looked upon in the light of experinaents. Pre- cisely similar things had been done in Europe, and even in our own country; and the surveyor ' s level had demonstrated their possibility at Green Harbor- Nay more, nature had made the work easy. It was known beyond a peradven- ture that if the salt could be got rid of this soil must be uncommonly produc- tive ; the salt had been got rid of in numerous similar cases and these reclaimed soils had proved their almost boundless capacity for production. It would seem that here was a clear case, an evident chance for improvement and largely en- hanced profits ; but what happened ? Did the farmers, confronted by indis- putable evidence, take hold of the business in the right spirit after the improve- ment was fairly voted and push it each according to his ability and opportu- nity ? No ! a large minority, whose fathers had always cut a few loads of poor salt hay from broad acres of marsh, were ambitious only to follow in the an- cestral foot-prints. The dike once constructed, was twice blown up, and ' ts de- struction a third time attempted by similar means. Every possible technicality was seized upon and one legal obstacle after another was interposed, only to be one by one adversely decided upon ; but still with superb stupidity the oppo- nents of the dike fight on, and the case is even yet in the courts. Thanks, how- ever, to the splendid championship of a few able men, the victory for progress seems now near. Space will not allow the numerous other illustrations of blind conservatism on the part of farmers which might be given. A word to farmers ' sons, to agricultural students, and this essay shall close. Do we as students read enough, especially of foreign agriculture ? True, many of the details of such agriculture must be inapplicable here, but we should find such reading rich in suggestions. If we would be leaders, promoters of progress, we must have ideas. These are more likely to present themselves when we are confronted with something new. There are many who delve in native fields; let us extend our observations also broader and deeper. B.

(51) A TRIP TO THE HUB. tT was already understood that the college was to attend the Bay State Fair f I ' om Thursday the tenth to Saturday the twelfth of Octobei ' , when on the previous Friday, Prex announced in chapel that on Wednesday the class of ' 91 would be excused from all college exercises, in order to visit with Prof. Maynard the vineyards of Dr. Fisher and Mr. Andrews at Fitchburg, and other places of interest in that vicinity, and that we could then proceed to Boston, there to await the arrival of the others. Accordingly, at about six o ' clock Wednesday moi-niug the class assembled at the Central Mass. depot, each man with traveling satchel, cane, and a look of serene dignity. There we watched the sun-rise, a sight which to some of us was a novelty. In due time the train arrived, and ' 91, canes, dignity, plug hats and all, were en route for Fitchburg. After our fares had been collected, and Lagehad satisfied himself that he was actually awake, and clothed and in his right mind, we began to Hooper- up, much to the disgust of the conductor, and much to the surprise of some of our staid fellow travelers. Reaching Oakdale, the ticket agent ' s remark that he hadn ' t tickets enough for the whole crowd, was greeted with a shout of derision. Arriving at Fitchburg, we took a barge and drove to the vineyards of Mr. Andrews and Dr. Fisher, and you may be sure that, although most of the fruit had been gathered, we thoroughly appreciated the quality of what was left, if not the respective merits of different methods of pruning. Through- out the trip we made the welkin ring with the yells of Aggie and 91 on the slightest provocation. In the car which took us from Fitchburg to Clinton, sat a most interesting fellow passenger. Our descriptions of her varied, but all seemed to agree that she was ])retty, and that she carried a violin case. Being a musician, the young lady seemed to appreciate our attempts to render college songs, and when we g )b oft the train at Clinton it was to the tune of Farewell Forever. Takin;.? a harge we drove to Lancaster, and visited the estate of Mr. J. E. (53) THE INDEX. 53 Thayer, and there we saw over eighty thousand dollars ' worth of about the ugliest looking dogs that it will fall to the human lot to see in so short a time. After listening to a small pandemonium for fifteen or twenty minutes, we came to the conclusion that too much dog is worse than no dog at all. Re-embarking, we drove to Mr. Thayer ' s stable, and thence to the farms of Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Damon. The latter gentleman is an alumnus of M. A. C, and showed his patriotism by bringing out about half a bushel of pears and grapes for our regalement. Coming down the hill by the Lancaster Gingham Mills, in Clinton, the bolt, which held the tongue to the barge, broke, and we were obliged to stop and dismount to see what could be done. Somebody ex- claimed, If we only had one of those bolts that we used to get on ' Tabby, ' we should be all right. Further observation disclosed the fact that we were on Chestnut Street. Well ! in a few minutes a bolt was obtained, the pole fixed, and on we went, and after a short drive farther we came to the South Clinton station, where we alighted and dismissed the barge and our genial driver and footman with a ringing yell. When we had boarded the train once more for Boston, we began to make ourselves decidedly at home, and when the conductor came to collect our fares we plied him with questions until he was fain to consign all student kind in general, and ' ' Aggie students in particular, to misery unspeakable. Finally our journey drew towards its end, and somebody expressed a fear lest the train might not stop at Boston, but at last the Pilgrim City was reached, and we separated to go in different directions to spend the night. Thursday afternoon the majority of our class visited various places of inter- est in the suburbs, notably the new green-houses of Hittenger Brothers in Bel- mont, and the farm of W. W. Rawson in Arlington. Friday at 10.30 we were required to meet Prof. Fernald at the Aggassiz Museum at Cambridge, and when again at liberty we visited the Hemenway G-ymnasium and other build- ings of Harvard University, and returned to Boston at about noon. If space were unlimited, we would go on to relate how Jim Gregory and Billy Goldthwait, after vainly trying to walk through a mirror, past their own reflections, at last gave it up, but politely lifted their hats to the image of a young lady whom they thought they recognized. Moreover it would be very irreverent to our e. c. ' 90 to give it away that Jack ran against a lamp post and exclaimed, excuse me, madam. But everything must have an end, and on Saturday nearly all the fellows came back to Amherst, leaving only a small minority to come back Sunday, and we think that all will agree that the trip to the Hub was a very pleas- ant change from the routine of the class room. EXASPERATION. And now that autumn ' s come again With its winds that wildly sweep, And its fallen leaves so bi ' own and sere That beside the roadways heap. The Junior doth his great coat don, And taking up his cane, Up the Botanic path he toils, With sighs and groans of pain. But when in Sammy ' s room he sits. He stares with vacant eye. Or else some playful deviltry Is planning on the sly. Perhaps some novel slyly hid Helps pass the time away, Or he may chance to study up On lessons for next day. A sudden start; his name is called; His dreams all rudely break. And all at once he ' s wondering How big a flunk he ' ll make. Er — well — er — yes the soil is light, And sometimes heavy too. And — well — I think the fact is, that Most any soil will do. (54) THE INDEX. Is the crop early or late ? Well — I can hardly say. I think it ' s late, but then I guess You can grow it either way. The profit ? Then he names a price That would riches quickly bring. Not quite so much, the Prof, replies, Just half would be the thing. At every question asked of him, A plucky guess he ' ll make; Both pleased and happy will he be Should his answer chance to take. And so it goes from day to day, No lessons perfect said ; Each fellow with gigantic gall Depends on Fortune ' s aid. But when the day of reckoning comes. Their marks at last they see ; We fear that some unlucky guessers In the tureen will be. Rules Regarding Athletic Sports, At the Massachusetts Agricultural College. After the base-ball game between ' 91 and ' 90, in which ' 90 had four men in- jured, the following- rules in regard to athletic sports were drawn up and ap- proved by the Faculty : Rule I. All base-ball games are hereafter forbidden to be played on the campus or college farm. II. All foot-ball playing among students is hereafter forbidden. III. All athletic sports are hereby forbidden except croquet and marbles. IV. All students seen or discovered, engaged in any other sport than croquet or marbles, shall by order of Lieut. Cornish, be put on short rations (bi-ead and water) for three weeks. V. Any student discovered in the act of exciting others into said prohibited sports shall be at the disposal of the Faculty. VI. Such members of the M. A. C. as become injured in participating in said prohibited sports, either wilfully or otherwise, shall not be allowed the ser- vices of a physician and shall be fed through the key hole on saur kraut, cheese and a little water. VII. If a foot-ball or base-ball or any equipments, used in the pui ' suit of said games, is discovered in any cadet ' s room by the inspector on Saturday mornings, the occupant of said room shall be suspended fi ' om all college exer- cises for a length of time not exceeding four years and not less than five min- utes. VIII. If students are caught misusing the marbles or the balls used in the game of croquet, the said students will forfeit their right of playing said games (croquet and marbles). IX. All implements such as mallets, balls, marbles, etc., etc., shall be, as far as possible, made of a material having a consistency not greater than that of rubber, so as to insure the lives and limbs of those participating in the sports, because all students absent fi-oni recitations on account of bruises received from the careless use of said implements will not be able to obtain excuses from the President. All implements nuist be first carefully examined and tested by Lieut. Cornish before being employed in playing any game. X. If the students of the Massachusetts Agricultural College will conduct themselves atn-ording to the above rules, the Faculty of said institution will attribute the sunv of :ift9.!)99 towards the attaining of approi)riate trophies to be awarded to those excelling in said sports.

HE purpose of this article is to present to the reader the advantages of co-education in all colleges, and particularlj- in our agricultural colleges. There are now several institutions, particularly in the Western States, where both sexes ma}- attend on terms of equality, so far as educational privileges are concerned, and thus enjoy the greater social advantages which must be afforded by such a system. The co-educational system as carried out at Cornell is the standard of which all others are more or less modifications. At that institution, Sage Col- lege was erected especially for young ladies, and will accommodate one hun dred students, who are presided over by a lady principal of high character and attainments. Young ladies are not admitted until seventeen years of age. They are granted two evenings a week in vrhich to receive their friends, a priv- ilege which is doubtless appreciated and enjoyed by all. At Cornell the lady students substitute calisthenics for military drill, and as they go through the rapid and graceful movements, their ruddy cheeks and bright eyes doubtless attract more attention than the brass buttons and martial pomp of the Cornell Cadet Battalion. Out of the thii-ty-four colleges, which reported to the Commissioners of Edu- cation, eight refused admittance to young ladies. Of the remaining twenty- six, there were only a few that had made any provision for their attendance, although their doors were open to them. Young ladies attending such colleges must therefore find accommodation in the nearest town, which is often incon- venient and disagi-eeable. How can we under such conditions expect young ladies to attend college. In accordance with a vote of the trustees, Prof. Levi Stockbridge, when pres- ident of M. A. C, invited the fair sex to attend this college. Only one young lady accepted this invitation, but if there could be acconmiodations for them in the shape of a dormitory erected for their special use, and presided over by a lady principal, as at Cornell, there would be little doubt of its being filled. Then what an attraction there would be at Aggie ! For in this ladies ' dormi- tory might be spent two pleasant evenings a week. A j ' oung man might tlien gratify his desire for lady ' s society without the trouble of going to Hamp, and his character would be far less likely to suffer in the estimation of the public. Co-education is the most natural method, and the young ladies and gentle- men thus educated together make truer, nobler, and less sentimental men and v(romeii. It is radically different from what the higher institutions of the Old (70) THE INDEX, 77 World recognize as the proper system of education, but the time will come when even these conservative institutions must yield to popular opinion and open their doors to both sexes. Co-education would have a marked influence on the athletics in our colleges. The tendency with college men now is, to make heavy athletics a specialty, and to strive to row the fastest, catch the best and lift the most. All of which phy- sicians inform us is decidedly injurious, and dangerous to the health. With the advent of young ladies in our colleges would come lighter gymnastic ap- paratus and lighter games, which will develop a man physically, as well as heavier work. The aim of the athlete would then be to cultivate graceful movements and a well proportioned body, by the modei-ate and equal use of all the muscles. The natural sciences would acquire new interest in the eyes of all the students. Botanical exhibitions would be more frequent, and the fields and forests would be diligently explored for specimens of rare beauty. The zoologi- cal department would be rendered very interesting, though at times the highest species might receive more attention than the insects and lower animals. Howevei , as students are not confined to the text book, but attend college to learn all they can, this would do but little harm. Now all this argues powerfully for the speedy and more perfect introduction of co-education into our own college, and if the reader has not long since com- prehended the benefits which are to be derived from it, we must say that we pity his ignorance or bigotiy. As for ourselves, we feel it to be our duty as true and loj ' al men, to chamjjion every good cause however small and insignifi- cant its beginnings may be. Therefore, we wish to express our hearty thanks to, and admiration foj-, the only member of our Faculty who is endeavoring to do anything for the advancement of the cause of co-education. That he has, in the face of all the opposition which he must inevitably encounter, succeeded in making even so small a beginning in this direction, is a source of congratula- tion to all those who have the good of the college at heart. It is our hearty wish that he may meet with success in his undertaking, and that the classes which follow us, may enjoy as great advantages over us as we have over those preceding.

B n, clearing up the botanical library after the Freshmen have been study- ing structural botany. — Professor, there is a microscope and a razor missing. Prof. S. — Well, perhaps some Freshman thinks he is getting big enough to shave. Oh why does the poet rave, And why does he tear his hair. And why do the poet ' s eyes protrude With a wild and unearthly stare ? Oh, why does he gasp for breath, And vrhy does he act so queer ? He isn ' t crazy, or even boozy, But he ' s trying to find an idea. MARRIAGES, Charles. — Ah, dearest Anna of your love Fm dying, and at your feet I lie. Anna. — ' I see you are lying. Richard B.

A. C. are more proficient than in this work. But, how could it be otherwise, being called as thej ' are to pass through so violent exer- cise, in what are known as boarding houses, but which might, in some cases, better be termed refuse dispensaries. About these boarding houses, we do not know what to say; sometimes we wish that the streets were lined with them, but when we consider how few good meals we have ever enjoyed an undisputed title to, in one of them, we are al- most persuaded that they are not indispensable, and we cannot but believe that the managers of them are trying to hasten on the time when man will be able to exist without eating. Although we do not say but that the food is good enough, what there is of it, we do say that there is enough of it such as it is. But it would be unfair to lay all of the blame upon the keepers of the board- ing-houses, for each boarder has many peculiarities. Watch one of them while he is eating a dinner, and you will immediately be impressed with the feeling that either be has missed meals when he did not design to, or that his digestive system extends throughout the length and breadth of his body. When a student first enters a boarding-house, he feels a little delicate about developing his digestive capabilities, and for this reason he gets along for a while, but after a little while his delicacy leaves him, and it matters not what is set before him, whether hulled coi ' ii or oat meal, boiled rice or tooth-picks, he leaves nothing in his tracks but empty dishes. His appetite is not affected by long eating and so his demand is greater than the supply. Thus it goes ; the student living upon the hope that the next time there will be something better and more of it for him. The varieties of food used are extremely few, and so it would take but little space to give a bill of fare for any boarding-house. Hash is the old standby, although each student is required to eat a plate of oatmeal once per day (85) 86 THE INDEX. thj-oughout the college year. Beef steak is sampled once per week. One of our senses seems to tell us that the onion is frequently indulged in. Pies and puddings are a rarity, while such a thing as cake is entirely out of the ques- tion. Experimental work is made in cooking at these houses, and so the boarders must suffer the consequence; the hash is but half-cooked, the oatmeal has a me- tallic lustre, the so-called pies are floating upon the juice, the bread has the cojisistency of dough, the toothpicks will have both ends blunt, and everything else necessary to make him think evil thoughts. Having seen that the tendency of the boarding house is toward a lower stan- dard rather than a higher one, we naturally wonder what the coming students will have to eat. They can live upon faith for a while, but that will not last always. What the future will be we refrain to say, but we believe that there is occasion for great rejoicing upon the boarding-house keepers ' part, when he thinks that his resources of oatmeal will continue as long as that crop is raised, but a feeling of sorrow must come over him when he sees the rapid destruction of the forests in the United States, for this means that his hitherto never fail- inj - supply of toothpicks must go.

WILLIAM COLVARD PARKER, ' SO, 28 School St., Boston, This club was founded for the mutual benefit and good fellowship of our Alumni, and for the promotion and advancement of the general interests of the college. It consists of over one hundi ' ed and fifty meinbers, most of whom re- side in or about Boston. All graduates and former students may become mem- bers by sending their names te the Secretary. At all the meetings, the Faculty and olFicers of the college are invited, and have been well represented. The only expense of membership is an assessment from those present at a meeting, to cover the expenses of the dinner and the necessary pi-inting. Thei ' e are no regular times for its meetings, which are held whenever it is thought convenient for a sufficient number of its members to attend. Still it is the general intention t o hold two annually. They are called by notices sent to each man. If over thirty respond to the call, a meeting is held and a dinner provided. The club has held eight meetings, each of which has been a success. The first seven of these meetings were held in a comparatively short time after its founding. The seventh one was at the time of the Bay State Fair in Boston, in 1887. Since then there have been no meetings up to the meeting at the time of the Bay State Fair this year. This meeting, held at the Parker house, Friday evening, Oct. 11, was a grand success. Nearly ninety members and invited guests sat down to the dinner. Dr. Austin Peters, now President, presided. Among the guests and speakers of the evening were Prof. Levi Stockbridge, Prof. W. P. Brooks, Prof. C. H. Fer- nald. Prof. C. C. Walker, and Lieut, C. H. Cornish, all instructors in this col- lege. The agricultui ' al press was also well repi ' esented. This was not only one of the largest but also one of the most interesting meetings our Alumni has ever held. 13 (89) The Mass.

All graduates and non-graduates of the institution are eligible to membership; the club is the only organization out of Massachusetts, of past students and graduates of the M. A. C. All wisliing to join will please forward the fee, their names and addresses to the Secretary- Treasurer, Mr. A. W. Lublin, No. 66 Beaver Street, New York.

A flickering oil lamp burnt close by his hand, And despair was stamped in his haggard looks. For tomorrow the Index must go to press. All day he had slaved with feverish toil, But had no respite from his labors found, And now he must waste the midnight oil. Before his eyes danced unnumbered ideas, But indefinite, vague, and between them and him. Like the mist on some far distant mountain, a veil Seemed to hang, and beyond roved his phantasies dim. The editors head on his arms was laid. When, through the window, the midnight hour The village bell with its clangor wierd Began to sound from the First Church tower. Twelve times the bell sounded, but stopped not there. But with rapid,- clanging, double stroke, Rang on, and more near seemed to grow the peal. The sound the editor ' s re very broke. Could it be a fire ? He sprang to his feet. Room, manuscript, table, were nowhere seen, But he stood beneath a mighty elm Beside a campus, level and green. On every hand edifices rise. Built of brownstone, granite, and marble white. And a flight of white marble stairs led up To two massive oaken doors at his right. The walls of a vast recitation hall Seemed to hold these antique, carven doors of oak, While within an ivied tower above A bell faintly sounded its dying stroke. Amazed, half afraid, but all curious To see what is hid by that ponderous door, He mounts the stair, opens it, steps inside On an inlaid, burnished, mosaic floor. Astonished, he gazes across the hall ; An agate stair leads to a gallery (93) 94 THK INDEX. Which curves like a horse shoe along the wall. Supported by pillars of porphyry. To this gallery, up the second stair, All ardent and eager, he almost bounds, But scarce has he reached the gallery ' s height. When he hears of feet the pattering sounds. He hears a bang of an opening door And a noise like students from class let out. When through a door way they madly pour And break for out doors with rush and shout. Nearer and nearer the noise seems to come. The editor sees a door opened wide. And into the gallery there is poured A boisterous and most motley tide. There were blow pipes, blast lamps, note books and pens. Books, of all sizes, of studious lore. Each formed like a biped, with legs and arms, And each a long gown and a trencher wore. The editor counted full thirty-five, When a door behind him wide open flew ; And toward the stairway, with clangor and shout, There is thronging a still more motley crew. Hei ' e were base-balls, foot-balls, racquets and bats, Clubs ' ' and bells, padded gloves, a plug hat and cane, A skeleton, coffin, and strange to say, A reverend goat with a tangled mane. The first group the student would hail as foes; The second he holds proverbiably dear, And as toward the stairway both columns spring, Our hero perceives that a rush is near. The party fii ' st out gains the stair case first. Brief triumph ! upon them eager for fray Quick spring the others, and forward and back, As each side receives additions, they sway. By a foot- ball a Rhetoric is knocked down, The blowpipe is slugged by a boxing glove stout; The former squawks as he falls with a clatter. Mr. , I wish you would please go out. Louder the racket! Fiercer the trampling! When — Crash, the gallery falls with a shock; And the editor — wakes up at his table, As the First Church bell tolls one o ' clock. i JO o 1 4i Tl a +J riS CS r l tfi c faC M s-i ■fi a o .c o ;::! =H c 5 C ) •S F-H c .2 - 1 ( -£ T3 F- - ! 11 b a CD OQ 5 Si to ' ■- •2 B ;i ce •3 S cr ja .a s S .

However, it will not be a surprise to most of our readers, as all must have long since sus- pected that a record of some such proceedings must be extant: On this th day of ISS— , A. D. Whereas, We, the Faculty of the Mass. Ag ' l College, do consider it our privi- lege and duty to intei-iere as much as possible with the private affairs of the students, and especially by means of tyri-anical rules and regulations concern- ing minor matters, and Whereas, We consider that the military department is a most fitting and convenient vehicle for this species of meddlesomeness, Be it Resolved, That Lieut. Cornish be instructed to do all in his power to carry out the spirit of the foregoing preamble. And be it further Resolved, That in pursuance of these instructions he shall be as ofHcious and obtrusive as possible. On the th day of 1S8— , A. D. We, the Faculty of the Mass. Ag ' l College do extend our hearty congratula- tions to Lieut. Cornish for his faithful carrying out of the instructions given him on the th day of 188 — , A.

ADDENDA. mM ITH the last flash of an expiring intellect, the over-wrought editors ■I5 -4{S - wish to exoress their a-ratitude to the noble few who have never ex- ■ wish to express their gratitude to the noble few who have never ex- pressed any curiosity as to when the Index is coming out. To the ' 92 Index ' ' Board we bequeath these results of a hard experience. You will expect to enjoy a fat sinecure, but credit us, the remainder of your class, who have to pay for publication, but have no further concern, have a picnic compared with you. You will be assailed from day to day by fiends who want to know when the Index is going to press, how big a book it will be, or what kind of a cover it will have, or who — worse still — have something good enough for the Index. When you have written copy all the evening, not expecting to be called on in class next day, the Faculty will single you out to recite, with relentless persistency, and to crown all, when j ' ou have seen an Index rewai ' d your labors, you will not have made as large a fortune as you expected, far from it. To all whom, it may concern : — Until the present excitement dies out, we shall dispense copies of the Index from behind a breast-work of Libel Stat- utes. By special arrangement with the authorities at Springfield, we have been able to secure an unlimited supply of ball cartridge; the Queen has kindly offered us the loan of seven complete suits of armor from the Tower of Lon- don, and a detachment of Chicago police, of Haymarket Square riot fame, has been engaged to escort the Index Board to and from recitations during the remainder of the winter.
