' If a.ny of us spea.k nvell, a.ppla.ud him ; If any speak ill, applaud him too ' VERY book has an introduction, and it would not do for Volume XXX. of the Index to omit that important opening, although we are all well aware that few pause to read the preface. In fact we ourselves have never read one till it be- came necessary to do so, in order that we might know what an introduction really is, and what it should contain. It was solely with this purpose in view that we perused, with great care, the opening pages of twenty-nine volumes of the Aggie Annual, and you can imagine with what astonishment, and we may say bewilder- ment, we found the introductions almost identical in each. We were bewildered to know why this was so : was there some unwritten law which we must follow in writing our introduction, that in it we must boast of our many fine points, of our originality, and of our superiority over all other similar works ; and must we copy that time-worn twenty-nine times repeated saying, We have anticipated for you a little surprise; viz., its enlargement, new form of cover, and improved general appearance, or, ' We wish to call particular attention to the originality of our work ? etc. Now, originality Is the great feature of our work, and we cannot be an originalist and a copyist at the same time ; so we will forbear the use of such expressions, and simply say : We have tried to please ; we have tried to arrange our statistics in as interesting a manner as possible ; we have tried to bring to your notice the improvements about college and the progress which our Alma Mater has made during the year ; we have also tried to recall to your memory the many little happenings, — the little incidents, accidents, and slips in a manner pleasing to ever} one. We have endeavored to tell you something about a l the prominent men in college ; and if by chance the name of one has been omitted who conscien- tiously feels that his prominence entitles him to mention, to him we say, Forgive us ; it was an oversight, due undoubtedly to our lack of experience. Trusting we will receive the hearty support of our fellow- students and the friends of the College, and hoping that our efforts will be appre- ciated, that our defects will be overlooked, we present this — the Thirtieth Volume of the Index. PI)ilip 5- Ha broQCt). HE one to whom this publication is dedicated, in apprecia- tion of his earnest zeal in behalf of our College, was born in Libertyville, Ulster County, New York, in 1870. Philip B. Hasbrouck received his first education at the New York State Normal School, in New Paltz, and from there entered Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the fall of 1889. While in college he pursued the scientific course, and at the beginning of his sophomore year he elected mathematics and civil engineering, which studies he made his specialties during his entire course, and in which he obtained a very high standing. His college social life was much benefited, in that he was a member of the Chi Psi Fraternity. After bemg graduated he was secretary to the director of tlie Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station; a position which he continued to hold until April, 1895, when he w as appointed to fill the vacancy of Assistant Professor of Mathematics in our own Alma Mater, and in June following he was elected to the same position. During the summer of 1897 he took a special laboratory course in physics at Cornell University, that he might the better fulfill his position here. On June 30, 1897, he was married to Miss Carrie Van Valin. In Professor Hasbrouck we feel that we have one who is ever exerting his utmost to further the interests of our College, and also the interests of the students. Since he has been among us he has placed his department of Mathematics upon that firm basis where it never rested before. As an ex- ample of his untiring efforts we have a newly equipped physical laboratory. In the preparation of this room, and obtaining modern apparatus for its equipment, he has spent many a valuable hour that we students might have better facilities to study nature ' s laws. Whereas, before we had practically no physical laboratory, we now have one which is no very mean affair. Though uneventful his life has been, And not among the great he ' s seen, (All cannot be so blessed,) As one among the rest, He serves his God the best, By serving him without complaint In this, his lowly test.

It is a typical autumn afternoon. The soft October breeze slowly wafts the red and golden leaves by the open window, while a hazy, dreamy atmosphere, peculiar to this season of the year, prevails. All is still save for the occasional chitter of a flock of birds, who, from a neighboring elm, appear to be soliloquizing upon the newlv-hoisted fair weather flag which floats from the tower. Nature, arrayed in fairy dress, is at her best ; and with such surround- ings is it strange that the historian, while attempting to review the happen- ings of the past, falls into a reverie ? Again we are prospective Freshmen, alighting from the Amherst train, preparatory to taking those dreaded entrance exams. Again that prod- igy, John Marshall Barry, looms up before us. Again the lengthy Soph fi-om Nyack points us to the drill hall when we inquire for the mathe- matical room. Again imagination carries us through the usual Freshies ' trials ; but we still survive. We soon find ourselves full-fledged Sophomores, for every dog has his day (except, perhaps, the one Sam found under his bed with a load of tinware attached to his posterior extremity). At this point recollection ' s biograph portrays many livel}- scenes. How brilliantly there reflects against the horizon of our memory the glorious bonfire on Clark Hill, while even now there almost falls upon our ears the jingle of fire bells, the rattle of hose cart, and the incessant screeching of the crowd as they hurry up the grade. The scene changes. Mountain Day, with the Greenfield Gazoo ' s( ?) accovmt of the iVmherst wild Indians. Doubtless the correspondent of that illustriovis journal, after witnessing our progressive football practice on the Shutesbury heights, wished to compare our team to the Carlisle eleven. Be that as it may, we are justly proud of our records in athletics, having never been defeated in football, baseball, or polo. The rope-pull story has been told by others. But we must break the fascinating charm of reverie, for space does not allow us to here enumerate many events which memory cherishes ; which have united pleasure with instruction, and that go to form the multitude of good times which should be found in ever} college course. We indeed realize that Pleasures, like flowers, may fall to decay, But their roots perennial may be. At the outbreak of the war several of our classmates enlisted, and have pi ' oven themselves to be an honor to their class and college. Wright, after standing as one of our peers for three years, suddenl} left us for higher spheres of action. C. W. ' s genial countenance is no more with us, and Stacy ' s familiar war whoop, echoing from Pelham hills to Mt. Warner, is a thing ol the past. As we turn the corner by South College we miss the plunkety-plunk of Courtney ' s banjo; and who can think for a moment that we will be apt to forget Dutcher? This communication would be incomplete if it failed to mention a certain pair of wheels which pla} ' an important part in Ninety-Nine toward making that somewhat indefinite article — class history. Not that we boast of possessing more wheels than any other class, but all will agree that those two red ones should not be overlooked. It would seem superfluous to state that they are well known by ever ' body between Denmark, Me., and Mill Valley, Mass. ; and as the rovings of these unruly bicycles have been the source of much amusement at the Seniors ' table at the boarding house, and as Melvin and Fat have sworn vengeance on all who talk of tying the ' •red rovers to a cable that would reach only to Hallock Street, it be- hooves the historian to refrain from giving particulars or mentioning names. In this connection it might be well to add that our class is thinking of publishing a treatise composed of the discussions held over Ninety-Nine ' s dinner table during the past year. Considerable information in regard to Ancient History, Italian bedbugs, and game wardens will be found in this comprehensive work. Fweddie ' s sayings will be a prominent feature of this publication. His map of the road from Amherst to South Hadley, with contour lines and other helps, will be of especial value to the botanist or bugologist who wishes to visit the notch. Chapin, the Galileo of our number, is said to be studving planets and other celestial objects these moonlight evenings. He believes that East Street is an advantageous field for such work. Should we review the virtues and failings of our other prominent men, the reader might form the mistaken idea that our serious moments are few and far between. As classmates we realize that we have but a few more weeks together, and the very thought tends to draw closer the bonds of friendship. Soon — too soon — we turn from the pleasantries of college associations to the grave responsibilities of life. It is human nature to look ahead. What has the future in store for us? The answer is, what we make it. Our fortune we hold in our hands ; our future is largely determined by what we are to-day. Let us hope that we have made such good use of the time spent at old Aggie that we may be able to apply our- selves to life ' s task wherever the path of duty may open. With the best of wishes for our college mates, and with a loyal spirit toward Alma Mater, we make our bow. Our history for the last time is told ; Now Ninety-Nine listens to Fate ' s decree. As it echoes the phrase of the poet old, ' Tis this we hear, Better days await thee. 23 Members, William H. Armstrong Cambridge. Church ' s. . 2. K. Instructor of Drawing.

O give an accurate history of such a noted organization as the Class of Nineteen Hundred, would be a task of too large proportions to be undertaken with the limited space allowed for such articles. Though the allowance is enough in which to chi onicle the doings of most classes, it is with many fears that I undertake so brief an account of the doings of this class. At most I can only touch upon a few of the things that have helped in gaining for us our wide reputation among the students, the Faculty, and even the out- side world. Our reputation has been hard earned, and in some cases ex- travagantly paid for. To explain the cause of some of our deeds would also be too deep a subject to be taken up at this time. Some, I fear, would have to be explained by too hard Mathematics, others by the department of Political Economy, and still others would be far beyond the limits of the subject of Law. As to the effects, they would fill volumes. Who has not felt the effects of our deeds of power and influence? The Sopho- mores can certainly attest to the firm stand we took last year on the subject of rushing. We occupied the entire campus, leaving no room for their mighty men, who wisely retired, leaving us in undisputed possession. Maybe no one has had the opportunity of more forcibly realizing the powerful po-sition we hold in the affairs of the College than they had that night. Our Faculty have been very much interested in our doings. They have from time to time taken up our different undertakings and most thoroughly analyzed them, consequently requiring quite a little of our attention. Many a social meeting have they enjoyed as a direct result of our labors ; and though the time of these meetings might not have been the most propitious for them al ways, the subject would be of such promising interest that a good attendance was invariable. Many of our good intentions, we are sorry to say, they did not appreciate, which was a fact that we regretted exceedingly. One instance in particular forces itself back to my memory, and will serve to illustrate. It was the time that we gave one of our best-loved professors a day off, after he had labored so long and faithfully to instill into our minds the principles of that noblest and most healthful occupation of man. If the germ which resulted in our action had not been drilled into our brains by one whose skill in the raising of crops is above question, an ob- server might have thought our action the result of his sowing the seed of knowledge on unadapted soil. It was, however, a mistake for which we honorably took the blame, and suffered even after we had been pardoned. As to our work in the class room, we have only to refer you to any of our professors for an assurance of the high standard maintained by the Class of Nineteen Hundred. Our numbers also attest to our standing as students. Few classes have reached their Junior year and had their numbers dimin- ished because of poor standing less than we have. The class has decreased slightly in numbers, it is true, but not because of poor standing. They have left for various reasons ; some to enlist in the army of their country, and two have even enlisted in the army of those who have put aside this single and lesser life, and taken to themselves another and a better half. Thus some have made soldiers for the present, and some are making soldiers for the future. Of the men whose patriotism told them that it was their duty to ■give up their studies here at Aggie, and enlist in the service of their country at her call for volunteers, five of them were of the Class of Nineteen Hun- dred. These classmates, we expect, will soon be back with us, and then who will have the honor of giving orders when we again have the pleasure of the double quick ? Among the many good times that we have had together, two, at least, our Mountain Days, will not soon be forgotten. Many an envious eye fol- lowed us on that bright spring morning as we started in a barge with Pro- fessor Smith for Mt. Tom, as the other classes were going to chapel. We drove to the Easthampton end of the range, and leaving our barge, walked the length of the rocky heights and down to the Mt. Tom Station, where we again met the barge and drove back. Our second trip we took in the 28 fall, with Dr. Stone, to the Notch, then to the Prospect House on ]Mt. Holyoke. We collected many specimens on these trips, though not all of a botanical nature, and we had lots of sport. In athletics we are decidedly strong, furnishing the ' varsity football team with nine men last year and a good representation this year. We are well represented on the baseball team, and also in the other athletic organizations. Of class contests we have won a generous share. Few classes have had the honor of winning two rope-pull contests, though by good material, hard practice, and the help of Ninety-Eight, we have had that honor. The first was a hard-earned victory, but in the second contest we succeeded in getting all except seven feet of the one-hundred-foot rope. Our teani vas even preparing to get up and valk off with the rope when time was called. In football we were beaten by Ninety-Nine, in spite of the remarkable play- ing of ' ■ ' Fat Adams, but we easily won from Nineteen Hundred and One. We have also lost but one baseball game, — that with Nineteen Hundred and One. Not only have we subdued the Sophomores, taught the Freshmen, con- trolled the athletics, and, in fact, run things in general, but more important and lasting than these, we have with each year drawn those bonds of friend- ship closer and closer between ourselves, overlooking each other ' s faults, and putting aside personal feelings, giving way from these dislikes to unity of class and purpose. The years that have passed so rapidly also forcibly remind us that the time is coming only too soon when we shall have to leave these surround- ings, which we have learned to love so well, and the classmates with whom in these happy years we have become so thoroughly bound together, and go into the world to prove the value of these years of labor in our course at Aggie. Let us, then, in the short time remaining do our best, that we may be fully prepared when the time comes to take up our life work, and show what a course of training at M. A. C. is reallv worth to a man. 29 Atkins, Edwin Kellogg North Amherst. Home. D. G. K. Artist 1900 Index. Director Reading Room. Baker, Howard Dudley. 28 N. C. C. S. C. N. H. S. Y. M. C.

Sergea7it-at-A rms. 32 O- ss History. S the world floats around its orbit it impresses its history on the minds of men ; so as another year is added to the life of our College, the history of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and One is for the second time placed before the readers of the Index. After closing a very successful season at football, — which has been treated so ably by my illustrious predecessor in the last Index, — we turned our attention to basket ball. Though unable to arrange any class games, at least we succeeded in infusing into our fellow-students an interest in this exciting game. And we hope that the sluggish brains of .the present Freshman Class will be stirred by a like enthusiasm, so that our prospective victory at basket ball will not be too one sided. As the gentle breezes of spring made themselves felt over the land and baseball resumed its sw ay, w e realized the capabilities of our class when we found we had no less than five men on the college nine. Soon after we organized our class team, and vainly endeavored to get a game with the Amherst High School. Our whole energies were now let loose upon the Sophomores. They paid no attention, however, to our challenge of June 9th, and of course we claimed the game by default. Then, in the exubei - -ance of our joy and cussedness, we decorated the roof of the Drill Hall with 33 the numbers 1901, in white paint. This work of art, which brought forth much applause from a great number of the students for its neat and sym- metrical appearance, aroused the jealousy of the Faculty. One prominent professor was heard to think, This dastardly outrage is entirely uncalled for, and should receive the most severe criticism of the department. The next day the Sophs, goaded on by the whole College, challenged us to a game of baseball, which we won, 10-2 ; and the morning after our victory we awoke to find our numbers deadened by three coats of red paint. Prexy made us a very polite little speech in Chapel — complimented us on our artistic abilities, and requested us not to do it again. It now became a question of who is running this College, anyway. Our ire was aroused, and we painted in our numbers once more; this time in the class colors, olive-green and orange. Then came a great diplomatic war. Prexy marshaled his forces, and battle after battle (in the shape of Faculty and class meetings) was fought. Our youthful frames were unable to hold out against the tried old veterans of the Faculty, and Brooks was sent to ask for terms. A treaty of peace for three years was signed, and, besides, we were compelled to pay a heavy indemnity. On June 17th the survivors celebrated the end of the war by a grand banquet held at Cooley ' s Hotel, Springfield. On our return to college this fall, but two men failed to answer to their names; one is serving his country, the other is serving his church. At this time of the year our thoughts naturally turned on the unsophis- ticated and homesick Freshmen. We took a great deal of trouble to show them certain tricks about rushes. We even spent an hour one evening rush- ing them off the campus. We stood in the entry of North College and po- litely told them they had better go ' round. They followed our advice implicitly. We find the Freshmen very obedient and obliging : obedient inasmuch as they always put out their lights at ten o ' clock at the request of a Soph ; they are very obliging as is shown by their kindly lending us their rope for the season. We had been told by many upper classmen that fate was against an odd-number class winning a rope pull. We have demonstrated by our victory over Nineteen Hundred and Two the utter fallacy of this fatalistic idea. The history of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and One would be in- complete without personal mention of some of its members who have lent their enei-gies to its success. Notable among these there is Mr. George R. Bridgeforth, the orator of the South. Mr. Bridgeforth ' s crowning success in the oratorial line was his defense against the slanderous accusation of 34 being false to his class. This great orator not only defended his honor on the chapel stagehand gained the unanimous decision of the judges, but at the same time accomplished the difficult feat of breaking up a Y. M. C. A. meeting. Another celebrity of the class is Professor Dana, of the iSlathematical department. The professor ' s talents are too well known to need mention, but when military drill once more swoops down upon us, the Freshmen will begin to learn what it is to have the master hand of Private Dana laid heavily upon them. One more famous member of a famovis class is Brooks H O., X. Y. Z., A. S. S. No man need go in ignorance while Percy is around. He is an oracle rara avis and acts as a check on the different professors that happen to come under his bane. Professor Cooley once said to a candi- date to the Sophomore Class, Read Brooks ' s Notes on Agriculture ; he knows more about the subject than I do. It is plain 1} seen from our past career that we will be a shining cloud in the future. Our natural modesty restrains us from eulogizing ourselves, but I ' ll leave it to Professor Babson if we are not the best Sophomore Class in college at the present time.

HE omnipresent Freshmen of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Two arrived at Aggie on the 7th of September, 1898, in all the verdure with which Freshmen classes are supposed to be endowed. Before we had been on the college grounds many hours we had heard a great deal, from the patronizing Juniors, about a certain awe-inspiring Owl Club. From what we could learn, from the subdued whispers concerning it, we decided that it was some sort of a powerful organization, the secrets of which we would learn in a few nights ; but the nights have lengthened into weeks, and the weeks into months, and now how great is our disappointment to find that the kindly Sophs have decided not to permit the Fi-eshmen to enjoy the greatest pleasure of their stay at Aggie ; namely, the initiation into the an- cient and honorable Owl Club. Alas, how unkind is Fate! How hard our lot ! The disgusting (?) but unavoidable rush was, then, the first thing to occupy our attention. In this the Sophs had the experience on their side, gained from observing the manner in which the Class of Nineteen Hundred had pushed them off the campus a year ago ; and in consequence they won the rush, though it took a long time to subdue the plucky Fresh- 39 men. We lost again in the rope pull, the Sophs winning by a margin o£ five feet; all of which, and more too, they obtained on the drop. This seems a small amount of rope for the Sophs to get, as they had not only experience, but also greater weight on their side. We are represented on the ' varsity football team, and we are confident of svipplying the baseball team with some good material in the spring. We already hold membership on the Glee Club, Choir, and other organizations of the College, not for- getting our honorary director on the Hash House Board. Although, perhaps, we do not rank quite so high as the kindly Sophs as regards brute strength, still we are not wanting in mental ability, as ap- pears from the following : Gentlenien, after looking over the entrance ex- amination papers of this class, I can safely say that I have the greatest ex- pectation of its becoming the most promising class I have ever had. (Extract from one of Professor Babson ' s oi-ations.) Though not having received any verbal testimony from our beloved mathematical instructor, we feel confident that he could easily pay us as great a compliment if not greater. But seriously, classmates, let us ever keep before us the object for which we came here, for there is not one of us who did not come here with the same object in view ; namely, the preparation for future usefulness. And wherever we are or whatever we do, let us conduct ourselves so that we may be an honor to our class, the College, and the State, which is doing so much to make good citizens out of each one of us.

SUCCESSFULLY managed institution should sliow some marked progress and improvement each succeeding year. The past year of our College has truly been one of decidedly marked progress in its various departments, and the improve- ments have indeed been many. The English department has improved its course of study, especially in the branch of Rhetoric. More original work is to be done in the form of essays and other w riting, and there w ill be more required reading and reference work than has been done here- tofore. This has already shown its effect, and the department feels repaid for its labor. The study of Astronomy has been added to the list of Senior electives, with Professor Ostrander as instructor. This study fills a long felt want among students. Geology will be taught by Professor Flint. Herein lies an opportunity to become well acquainted with both the chemical and the physical side of the study. It will follow closely the study of Mineralogy as taken in the Sophomore year, making the course very complete. Owing to the extremely short time allotted for the study of Physics, the study of Mechanics, formerly taken up in the fall term of the Junior year, has been transferred to the winter term of the Sophomore year. The entire time allotted for Mathematics in the Junior year will be devoted to the subjects of Light, Heat, and Electricity. In the spring of 1S97 a special class in Chemistry was introduced by Dr. Charles Wellington, with Mr. C. A. Peters, ' 97, as instructor. The object sought was to help those intending to take up Chemistry to advance more rapidly than is possible in the regular course, as well as to assist the already advanced student. The course was thoroughly practical, personal instr uction being given. A number o£ men availed themselves of this fine opportunity, and derived a great deal of benefit for so doing. The special course was continued through the summer, under the name of the M. A. C. Summer School of Chemistry. It was a decided success, and we sincerely hope this special work will be repeated this year. The series of eleven short winter courses, introduced for the first time last year, proved a success. Although the attendance last winter was com- paratively small, the prospect of having a larger class this year is good. These courses are thorough, practical, and complete, and, undoubtedly, if better known would attract a larger number of students. There has been no change in the Faculty. All are continuing to do their best work to further the interest and welfare of our College at large. We extend our heartiest wishes for their success and prosperity. In the way of improvement, our buildings have received marked attention. North College has had the usual repairing, together with some remodeling. The new bathrooms and lavatories are now complete. Hot and cold water may be had at all times, making it very convenient for students rooming in the dormitory. The reading room situated in this building is to be fitted out with heating coils, so placed as to heat the room uniformly. The one stove is quite insufficient to do the required work. A new training room has been fitted up in the basement of South Col- lege, with rubbing table, lockers, hooks, benches, and other necessities. This room is greatly appreciated by all, since in the past such a place suitable to properly carry on this part of athletic training has been un- known. The Physical Laboratory has formerly been situated in the Chemical building. The fumes from the chemicals, which, in spite of the greatest care, entered the room and cases, proved very injurious to the delicate instruments. The question of how to avoid the damage presented itself. This has been nicely settled with the construction of a new and more mod- ern laboratory, distinct and apart from the others. The President ' s recita- tion room, ample and large, has been used for the purpose mentioned. The new laboratory has been newly equipped with a complete stock of physical and electrical instruments. A new dynamo has been set up in the basement of North College, with wires connecting it with the storage bat- teries in the new room. With the new equipment a better course in Physics is offered, and there being more time given for instruction, the practical side of Heat, Light, and Electricity will be better expounded and illustrated. A special appropriation of $i,ooo has been assigned to the Chemical department for the purchasing of new supplies this year. A magnificent new Veterinary building, with hospital connected, is in process of construction. Since so much attention is given to the study of Veterinary in this institution, and because the work of this department has been carried on for past years in extremely small and crowded quar- ters, the Trustees and other officers of the College set themselves to work to obtain the necessary funds for a building that would be a credit to any university in the country. This handsome building is described on another page. The Veterinary Museum has heretofore been crowded into the Zoological Museum. The new laboratory will contain apartments spe- cially set aside for specimens, thus relieving its overcrowded neighbor. Another new building is nearing completion, in which the work car- ried on will be imder the direction of the Hatch Experiment Station. The best methods of dairying for profit and progress will be studied, experi- ments will be made, and the best results given to the public. The building will be up to date in every particular, as v ill be the apparatus used for carrying on the work. It will add to the splendid collection of buildings already on the college grounds, as well as to the strength of the Hatch Experiment Station located here, the authoritative experimental work of which is so v ell known in the United States and Europe, Our athletics have been greatly improved during the past year. On account of the shortage in time we had no intercollegiate meet, but the interest was not lacking in the least. Many of the men were out training with as much vigor as would be displayed preparing for a meet. The Baseball Team was supplied with a complete nev outfit of suits, shoes, jerseys, and so forth. It was a pleasing sight to see our Aggies in position for play, arrayed in their new uniforms. As the score shows, our team played much better ball last spring than during the preceding year. There vas no rant among the players ; each man did his best work for his college. The excellent quality of the teams played is an important item worthy of mention. The fact that all the opposing teams represented good colleges of high standing, shows our College is recognized as holding a prominent place in athletics with them. We are very desirous of pushing to ' the front the importance of athletics as a necessary factor in connection with every institution of learning ; and it is very gratifying to all to know 103 that a great improvement has been made along these lines. The matter o£ having an athletic field was strongly advocated at the mass meetings held in the Chapel from time to time. This has been a constant theme for dis- cussion ever since the proposition was made, and it is needless to state that this College should have an athletic field that will do her credit. We have no reason to be other than proud of the Football Team. The strongest and best-developed eleven for years represented the College this fall. This is partly due to the excellent coaching of Dr. Weeks, formerly quarter-back on the strongest team the University of Pennsylvania ever had up to 1897. Dr. Weeks won the heart of every player by his courteous manner, authoritative decision, and splendid generalship. Entirely new formations were used with good effect, especially the famous guards back forma- tion, showing very clearly that proper instruction is a first and important thing to obtain in order to show what our men can do. New supplies were furnished this year. The Football Association was well supported finan- cially, and the enthusiasm will undoubtedly increase as the years go by. The team has been well cared for in every respect as regards their training. A dining table set apart for the players was obtained, and special food was prepared for them. The fine new training quarters made the afterpart of practice a source of delight, for never has our team had better massage treatment. But there is one drawback, however, that presents itself in this, sometimes, as well as in other colleges. This year it has been rather hard to get a second eleven out to line-up against the ' Varsity Team. When this obstacle has been removed there will be little left for criticism. The quality of the games played has been of the first ; and much credit is due to those in charge of affairs. We wish to expi ' ess our best wishes for success to those who will represent their Alma Mater on the gridiron in Ninety-Nine, as well as to those in authority. F. G.

HE accompanying illustration is a representation of the new Veterinary Laboratory and stable Hospital which is no.w being constructed on the college grounds, south of the drill hall. The buildings will cost $35,000, which was appropriated by the last Legislature. The Laboratory will be a two-story brick building, with a French roof and brownstone trimmings. Passing through the front entrance there is a vestibule which is eight by five feet. At the right joi the hall is the main laboratory, extending the entire length of the north side, which is sixty by twenty-three feet. Near the middle of the room is a large laboratory table w ith sinks, and at one side there is to be a lai-ge thermostat, built of brick, provided with close-shutting iron doors, which is to be used for the cultiva- tion of organisms which thrive only at a temperature very near that of the human body. In the rear of the room are store closets and a balance room. The interior of this room will be made of natural brick, covered with Wadsworth, Howland Co. ' s white finishing enamel. Opposite each window a table will be placed which will accommodate two to four students, and enough tables to accommodate from twenty to twenty-five students working at one time. At the left of the entrance is the ■office and private laboi-atory of the professor of the department, and in the rear of the hall is the lecture room, which will accommodate forty students. At the left of the lecture room on the south side, completely sep- ai-ated by a brick wall from the rest of the building, is a room for small animals, a toilet, and storeroom. Like the laboratory, they are to be built of brick, finished in white enamel, and asphalt floor. Between the hall -and the lecture room is an elevator, which runs from the basement to the attic. Back of the office is the open stairway leading to the second story, -and to the basement, which contains a storeroom, heater, workshop, and a hallway leading to the rear door. On the second story is a chamber for the janitor of the building, located on the southeast side, a pri vate lab- 108 CO v£3 oratory over the hall, and another one on the northeast side. On the north side, over the laboratory proper, is a photographing room, a dark closet, and over the lectui-e room is the Museum. The building will be heated by a combination hot-water ventilating and heating apparatus. Fresh air will enter the rooms about eight feet from the floors through the wall register, and escape through a floor register on the same side and opposite corner, and passing through ducts into the ventilating stack in the center of the building, which is five by seven feet. The workshop will be provided with a water motor, to furnish power for lathes and centrifugal machines. The Hospital barn, which will be of brick, with brown-stone trim- mings, will be located exactly fifty feet in the rear of the laboratory. The main part will be two stories, with an ell extending south and west one story, and a one-story ell extending west. At the right of the main door is the ofiice, and at the left is the grain bin, hay chute, and sawdust bin. The rest of the room is used for stalls for horses. In the ells are the dissecting room, rooms for poultry, dogs, cattle, sheep, and pigs, and two isolating rooms eight by eighteen feet, which will be used for experimental purposes. The different sections are so separated as to prevent the speading of any disease, and each section will be provided with the best ventilating, heating, and lighting ajjparatus that can be obtained. Prof. James B. Paige, who has charge of the veterinarian department of the College, is a graduate in the Class of 1SS2, and of the Montreal Vet- erinary College in 188S. In 1S90 he became Professor of Veterinary in the College, and has served faithfully in that position ever since, doing all in his power to improv e the veterinary department as well as the College itself. In 189=5 and 1S96 he was absent in Germany, where he studied in the veterinary school at Munich, under Professor Kitt, and also in the medi- cal department of the University of Munich. Professor Paige has made a special study of different plans of veterinary buildings, and he believes that the buildings to be erected ai ' e to be the most complete of any in this covmtry or Canada. The architect is E. A. Ellsworth, of Holyoke, a graduate of the College in the Class of 1871. It is through the untiring efforts of Pro- fessor Paige that this valuable addition to the College has been obtained. wm In I oving Remembrance of Walter Aa on Dicl in on, Captain 17II) United 3tate3 Infantry.

Touted in the I attle of 3antiago, Jul Z, iS S. When came the nation ' s call to arms, we thought That war ' s relentless hand would hold afar Its iron weight from us. Alas ! the scar Is now within our hearts; we ne ' er knew aught. From out our number one brave soul was sought To die a hero ' s death. No time can mar Our memory of him ; nor e ' er debar The lesson that his glorious death has wrought. A soldier firm and true was he; and one Who knew the worth of careful discipline. With smile and welcome hand for all, and mind E ' er filled with brightening thoughts, he was a son Of Massachusetts. Thus he died within The heat of battle, and left his all behind. Herman Babson, , ALTER MASON DICKINSON, son of Marquis F. and Hannah Williams Dickinson, was born at the family home- stead — the first house on the right to the north of the Agricul- tural College — on April 3, 1S56. As a boy he attended the primary school at North Amherst, and later the grammar and high schools of Amherst. He entered the Agricultural College in the Class of 1877, and remained nearly three years. It was his desire to enter the Naval Academy at Annapolis, but upon inquiry it was fourid he had passed the age limit. The late President J. H. Seelye, of Amherst College, being a member of Congress at the time, was able to secure for him an appoint- ment at the West Point Military Academy. Mr. Dickinson prepared for the Academy at the Agricultural College, passed his examinations successfully, entered in the spring of 1S76, and was graduated in 1S80. During these four years of study and discipline, he returned home three times ; once at the end of his second year, and once each succeeding year, 115 He was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Fourth Cavalry, serving- in Indian Territory, New Mexico, and Arizona. He saw active service with the Indians in these territories. Later he was detailed to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for two years, to attend the School for Officers, taking the most advanced courses. At Fort Leavenworth he was married to Mattie E. Otis, daughter of the late George L. Otis, of St. Paul, Minn. He was next returned to Arizona for ten months ; thence to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, for three years ; back again to Arizona for a few months, and finally to Walla Walla, Washington. At this post he was transferred, at his request, to the Seventeenth Infantry, going with them into Wyoming for a brief period, from which place he received his commission as military instructor at our College in the summer of 1S92. He arrived in Amherst, in company with the writer, Monday afternoon, August 15th. Most of his military life having been spent in the various military outposts, the change to the com- parative quiet of a New England village was indeed an abrupt one. He soon became accustomed to the life, however, and entered upon his work in an enthusiastic spirit. He was very conscientious in the performance of his duties, rarely, if ever, being absent from an exercise, except in case of absolute necessity. He was very successful in his work with the students, and brought the military department to a high degree of efficiency. He was justly proud of what had been accomplished, and frequently remarked to the writer that he thought the boys did well. He was every man ' s friend, ever ready with an encouraging word or a helpful suggestion. It is believed that the young men fully appreciated his kindly feelings toward them, for all the boys seemed to hold their commandant in the highest respect and esteem. The general appearance and drilling of the battalion at the competi- tive drill held in Boston in the spring of 1S96 was extremely gratifying to the Lieutenant. It is the opinion of the writer that he firmly believed the M. A. C. Cadets should have been given first place ; yet, like a true sol- dier, he never complained, or expressed any dissatisfaction at the award of the judges. As the years passed he seemed to become more attached to his boy- hood home, and was wont to remark that he had no desire to go west of the Mississippi again. So much did his work, the love of Amherst and its inhabitants appeal to him that, had it been possible, he would have been content to have made the town his permanent home. His four years ' detail expii-ed in August, 1S96, and he was ordered to report to his regiment at Columbus Barracks, Ohio, where he was 116 located till the Spanish-American war began. He returned to Amherst for a brief visit, especially, to see his aged parents, in the summer of 1897. The Seventeenth Regiment left Columbus for Tampa, Fla., on the 19th of April, and remained there until it sailed for Cuba in company w ith the first army of invasion. Lieutenant Dickinson was Regimental Quartermaster, and was very busy during much of the time after leaving Columbus Barracks. In a letter dated Tampa, June 6th, he writes : I have a little time, and will drop you a line to say ' good-by, ' as we expect to board the transports this evening. Our baggage is all packed, and the only thing now to be done is to pull down the tents, — fifteen minutes ' work, — and we are off. ... I don ' t know where we are going, but somewhere to-night, beyond doubt. Colonel Haskell has just told me he thinks it is Santiago. His last letter to the writer was dated Transport Cherokee, off Santi- ago, June 20, 189.S: Here we are off the coast of Cuba, and ready to land somewhere in this vicinity. . . . We have had a nice trip, but had to run slow, on account of some slow boats. I wonder when I shall see Amherst again. This letter was received on the morning of July 4th, two days after his death. The Seventeenth landed at Baiquiri, a small village some fifteen miles from Santiago, on June 32d, and began the march inland. Lieutenant Dick- inson remained on the Cherokee until June 27th, overseeing the unloading of the stores. On that date he rode from Baiquiri ten or twelve miles to the front, believing, no doubt, there would be a battle next day. He returned to the transport June 2Sth, and completed the unloading June 29th, and that evening rode back to the front with Lieutenant Atkinson, Qiiartermaster of the Sixth Regiment. He remained with the Sixth an hour or two, and about 10 p. M. rode off to the Seventeenth, about one and one half miles farther to the right of the line. On June 30th the whole regiment moved still farther to the right, to the northeast of El Caney, and bivouacked late at night. The story of July ist cannot be better told than by quoting from a letter of the late General Haskell, who commanded the regiment : On the morning of July ist Lieutenant Dickinson came to me and said, ' Colonel, I want to go with you to-day. ' He had been with me always with the regiment on the march, unless occupied in his quartermaster duties, but none were required on this march. We marched up the moun- tain and down, through streams, over muddy places, on the slippery side of the hill, etc. . . . About nine o ' clock I was directed to reenforce the extreme right. ... I had to hunt for a position that I could fire from, . . . and having found this, had to cut down a wire fence to enter. Lieutenant 117 Dickinson was by my side all this time. I had just taken a view of Caney, and decided where to put the regiment, when my right boot was struck in the sole near the heel. Just then my left arm dropped to my side. Then the dear boy sang out, ' Colonel, I am gone; they have shot me clear through ; ' then his right arm dropped ; he was shot through the right forearm. Then a ball struck my right knee and knocked me down. This occurred while the Colonel and Lieutenant were in an open field, somewhat in advance of the regiment, the latter being sheltered behind a hedge. Lieutenant Dickinson, wounded in the arm and through the abdomen, appeared to have had sufficient control of himself to get back to his regiment unaided. He was placed upon a litter, attended by Surgeon Ebert, and carefully watched over by kind friends. He remained in the firing line until four o ' clock in the afternoon, when he was carried to the rear and placed in the temporary hospital. Dui-ing the day he received two more wounds, one in the right leg, and a slight flesh wound in the arm. As he received the last wound he raised his eyes to his attendant and gave a look which was intended to mean, You see I am the target to-day. In the evening he was removed, at his request, from the hospital to a mango tree near by. The morphine administered had more or less stupefied him, but he remained conscious till midnight, then gradually lost himself, and died peacefully at 3.30 A. m., July 2d. His body, dressed in uniform, and wrapped in his army blanket, was buried with one other officer and forty- one privates a short distance from the spot where he fell. He bore his sufferings bravely and quietly, and died a soldier ' s death. He was once heard to remark that when he died, he hoped it would be on the battlefield, in defense of his country. Little did he realize how soon this wish would be fulfilled. The body of the late Lieutenant Dickinson was brought to this country and buried with simple services in the Arlington Cemetery, at Washington, on November 10, 1S98. Lieutenant Dickinson was recommended for promotion on April 36th, and his commission as captain was signed and issued by President McKinley on July 14, 1S98. Joseph B. Lindsey. On Wednesday, November 9, 1S9S, memorial services in remembrance of Walter Mason Dickinson were held in the Stone Chapel at the Massa- chusetts Agricultural College. On the same day there was placed in the Chapel a bronze tablet set on Sienna marble, bearing the inscription with iiS which we open this memorial. On the tablet immediately preceding the quotation is inserted the words, Erected by his college friends, and a simple design, a palm branch bearing a crown of oak leaves. The quota- tion is taken from an address of Lieutenant Dickinson, delivered in the Stone Chapel on March 9, 1896, in memory of the deceased Governor of Massachusetts, Frederick T. Greenhalge. Whereas, it has pleased the Great Captain of the universe, through the cruel ac- cident of war, to remove from our midst one whom we respected as a commandant and teacher, honored as a man, trusted and loved as a friend, the late Capt. Walter Mason Dickinson ; and. Whereas, we keenlv feel our mutual loss, and deepl} ' sympathize with his be- reaved family, and sincerely mourn his earlj demise; and Whereas, we feel that the College has lost a true friend and lojal son, and the nation a brave and gallant soldier, and his family a kind and loving husband and a duti- ful son ; therefore, be it Resolved, that we, the Class of Ninety-Six of the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- lege, whose privilege it was for four yeai ' S to have him as commandant and instructor, do hereby extend to the bereaved family our sincere and heartfelt sympathy, and we deeply regret the loss to our army of an efficient officer, and to our College of a noble example of courage and fidelity to duty. And be it further Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family; that another copy be filed at the college library; that another copy be sent to Aggie Life, to be published in the first issue; and that another copy be sent to the Nineteen Hundred Index, and published therein, and that a copy be kept and filed with the records of the Class of Ninety-Six.

He attended the public scliools at Nortli Amherst City, and in tlie fall of ninety-four entered the Massachusetts Agricultural College as a member of the two- years ' class of Ninetj ' -Six, He did not finish his course, how- ever ; but left college, and entered Mr. Nash ' s private school, where he remained for two terms. After leaving Mr. Nash ' s he was engaged in various occupations ; at the time of his enlistment he was motorman on the Amherst and Sunderland Street Railroad. He enlisted at Northampton in Company I, Second Regiment, M. V. M., in the latter part of April, and went into camp at South Framingham with his regiment, where they were mustered into the United States ser- vice. From this camp the regiment went South to Lakeland, Florida, then to Tampa, from where they embarked for Cuba. On the day of the battle of El Caney he received a sunstroke, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. The next day he helped carry his wounded lieutenant to the division hospital, six miles in the rear, and on the following day re- joined his company. For three weeks he lay with his regiment in the trenches before Santiago, suffering continually from the effects of the svui- stroke, till, on July 34th, it became necessary to leave the ranks. He was sent to the hospital, and, two days later, on July 26th, he passed away. Peace be to our nation ' s heroes. Tf)e Oapel P eU.

(Written for the Index by Herman Babson.) iT was one of those hot, sultry afternoons when we found ourselves at the spot chosen for our camp. To the right, and the left, and behind, Storm Mountain and its foothills raised their craggy sides straight IL into pure white, fleecy clouds; while in front, Sawkistu Lake lay shim- mering in the afternoon sun. After a dip in the lake we went to work putting up our tent, and by six o ' clock we had everything done. Nearby our fire crackled cheerfuUj ' under a pan of sputtering eggs and bacon, the care of which fell to my chum. Meanwhile, lying at full length in front of the tent, I lazily watched a hawk circling far above me. Bob, I remarked, without troubling to turn my head toward him, I heard you mention lake trou t this afternoon. Yes, he answered. We ' ll try them to-morrow. Where ' s the best place. ' ' Well, I don ' t know. But there ' s an old chap lives near here, — his house is back in the woods under the mountain, — who knows every hole in the bottom of the lake. He ' s called Old Brod— sort of a hermit, you know. I don ' t know him, but I ' ll walk ■over after supper and scrape an acquaintance. Do you mind if I don ' t go.? I asked. No. I ' ll be back by— by ten, anyway. It ' s a fairly good walk, but I ' ll clip it off at a lively rate. We had our supper, cleared up, made our beds, and had a smoke. Then Bob took his gun and departed. I watched him out of sight, and then went into the tent to go to bed. The last thing I did before lying down was to pin back one of the canvas flaps. A deep, fai--away rumble of thunder, somewhere back of the mountain, awoke me. For a moment I lay listening to the dying reverberations, and then I raised mj ' self on my elbow and bent over to see if Bob was with me. He was hot. I got up, and striking a match found that it was midnight. Wondering where Bob could be, I went to the front of the tent and looked out. A bright moon, two or three days past the full, was already high above the eastern hills, and by its light I could clearly see the ■dark water of the lake below. I looked round for a while, and then, on the impulse of the moment, yelled Bob ' s name at the top of my voice. The cry rang up and down the shore, and back toward the mountain ; and then, with echo after echo, it died away into silence. As I listened to catch the sound of a reply, I grew nervous. My mind became active, and I began to think of uncanny things; and with a shiver that I could not suppress I drew back into the tent and crawled under my blanket. Once started on unpleasant subjects, my thoughts refused to quiet themselves, although I tried reciting verses and counting. At last I sat up to feel in the pocket of my coat for a match and a cigarette; and as I did so my gaze fell upon that part of the Jake visible through the open tent flap. I saw something that made mv blood run cold. About two hundred feet oft from Ihe shore, in the broad wake of the moon, lay a boat. In it, standing at his full height, was a man violently waving his arms. The boat was not ours, for I plainly saw the one we had brought moored in its usual place. The man was not Bob; that I knew instantly. But knowing this was only to increase my terror. Shivers ran up and down my back, my heart sank, my nerves tino-led. I wondered if I was a coward; had I lost all manliness.? What was there so terrible in the sight of a man standing in a boat and waving his arms. ' ' At this moment Bob burst into the tent; whereupon I sprang to mv feet and grasped his arm. Where have you been. ' ' I whispered. I got lost, he said, excitedly, and with a voice as low as mine; got lost like a fool. Old Brod wasn ' t at home, and I somehow got off the road on my way back. I had just reached the lake when I saw Yes, yes, I interrupted. Have you seen t? The man oft ' there in the boat, you mean. ' Yes. I have been watching it for the last five minutes. I heard you shout my name, but I didn ' t answer. My God ! I chattered through my teeth, what is it.? Bob took me by my shoulders and gave me a sound shaking. Look here, he said, you haven ' t got a bit of nerve. Brace up, my boy. It ' s nothing but some fool trying to scare us. Now I ' m going to scare him. He grabbed a repeating rifle, and poking the barrel through the opening in the tent, fired. The report rolled up and down the night air as had my cry; but the figure and the boat remained as before. Bob sank to his knees. I did not fire to hit him, he said, but, by Heaven, this time I aim straight at him. Look ! Bang! We both peered through the smoke to see the effect of the shot, but Bob had missed. Once more the rifle spoke; and once more we gazed toward the wildlv gesticu- lating figure. Missed — again ! I cried. No ! retorted Bob. No ! I swear I hit him, for I aimed full and fair. But he is still unharmed, I said. Well, I ' m going to fire again, and if I don ' t hit this time I ' m going down there. What ! Going down near that Get back ! whispered Bob. For a fourth time the report rang out; and when I saw that the figure still stood upright I felt as though the ground was slipping from under me. Again I grasped Bob by the arm. He pushed me away — roughlj ' . Let go of me, you coward ! he cried. If you haven ' t the sand to come with me, stay here. But I tell you I ' m going to take the boat and row oft ' to i ia if I die for it; He jammed four cartridges into the magazine of his rifle, and bolting from the tent started to run for the shore. Urged on by the horror of being left alone I quickly followed him, and in a few seconds we were both beside the skift . Bob untied the rope, jumped into the bow, and pointed for me to take the oars. Row, he exclaimed. I half tumbled upon the thwart, shoved the oars through the pins, and gave a long sweep. 123 Be quick, now, commanded Bob. Pull on jour right, — now jour left, — left still more, — now steady — and hard. The exercise sent the blood tingling through my veins, and I began to pull for ■dear life ; but it seemed as though I had hardly begun, when Bob shouted for me to stop. We ' re almost on him, he said, speaking rapidly, and in a moment you must back water. He is still waving his arms, and does not seem to see us. Don ' t turn round, for you will change our course. Get ready — I ' m going to grasp him. Now! Back water— not so hard. Pull again — you ' ve almost stopped. Pull — pull In desperation I turned to look. The boat with a good headway was moving rap- idly onward. Bob was standing up, holding fast to the rail. Nearer and nearer we came to the silent figure — our bow all but grating against the other boat ' s side. My companion, now breathing heavily, reached forward his right hand to grab the man, Avhen — I shudder as I think of it ! — the strange boat slowly but steadily glided backward out of reach, and then stopped. Look, look ! cried luy friend. He ' s backing away from us. I almost had my hand on him. See — he ' s moving his arms as wildly as ever. Row up to him again. I will find out what he is ! Again I took the oars and pulled a few strokes; and again, just as Bob was about to place his hand upon the man, he and his boat glided away a few rods, only to stop as before. In a, fit of frenzy Bob raised the rifle and fired the entire contents of the magazine point blank at the figure. And when he saw it still standing and waving its arms, he began to swear. Finally, as though coming to his senses, he roughly pushed me into the stern, and took the oars himself. A third time we approached, and still again the boat with its occupant receded. Then began a horrible chase. Time after time w e drew near to this strange boat, only to see it fioat away untouched. Across a bend of the lake we followed it, until we found ourselves in shallow water and amid tangled lilies, reeds, and water grass. It has stopped again, said Bob, breaking a long silence. This tim.e we will reach it, for it can ' t go any farther. Here — row. I ' m nearly dead. I took the oars. Pull quickly, said Bob, moving back to the bow. If I don ' t touch it this time, I ' m going to jump. No you won ' t, I replied, sweeping the boat round so that we both could see. So long as I have any strength left you will never leave this boat. Now keep still for a minute, and watch this thing. We both looked — but there was nothing to be seen; the boat and the man had disappeared. How we got back to our camp I don ' t know. But I remember that all that night we sat near our tent watching the lake, At last morning came, but we were in no mood to build a fire or to cook breakfast. We can walk over to a farmhouse that is half a mile back from here, and get our meal there, said Bob. And then we can return and pack up. I ' ve had enough of this place. When we reached the yard in front of the house we saw the owner working in the garden. We at once asked if we could have some breakfast. Ye ain ' t tramps, be ye. ' ' he asked, looking at us doubtfully. Oh, no; we ' Cause if ye are, ye can pass on. Where ' re ye from- — eh? 124 We are campers from the lake, I ventured to explain. We — er — we — well, you rsee we thought we ' d rather walk over here and paj for our meal than cook it there. It was a lame reason lamely put, and I knew it. So did our inquisitive friend. He approached us slowlj and looking us over said at last : Ye must like to walk — or p ' r ' aps j ' e don ' t know a durn ' bout cookin ' — eh. ' Anj- how, I guess we can give ve somethin ' . Come in. He led us through the yard, and into the kitchen by waj ' of the back door. We don ' t use our dinin ' i-oom in summers, ' ' he said ; so je ' ll have to set here. Take them chairs, an ' I ' ll see what we can give ye. He went to call his wife, and I glanced round the room. My eyes fell on a picture — a cheap, crayon portrait in a gaudy, gilt frame, hanging over the mantel. Some- thing in the features riveted my attention. Bob, said I, keeping my eyes on the picture, don ' t 3 ou think that a queer place for a portrait. ' ' Where. ' ' Oh, that — why — why, ir y dear man — look at it — look at it! At this moment the farmer returned. Who is that. ' ' asked Bob, pointing to the picture. That, drawled our host. Why, that ' s my brother. We don ' t get on very well — that is, we did ' nt. My wife wanted the picture hid away, but I be durned if I ' d do ' :it. ' He ' s my blood, ' I said, ' after all; an ' I ' m goin ' to keep him in sight. ' So we comprermised the thing, an ' I ' took it from the settin ' room, an ' hanged it here. P ' r ' aps ye knew him. He got drowned one night last year in the lake. He used to live alone up in the woods. Folks called him Old Brod. Well, one night he v ent out and got drowned. An ' he ain ' t never been found sence. I ' suppose his body is all gone by this time. Sence he ' s died no one ain ' t been near his shanty ' cept Sim Jones, — an ' he started a durn fool tale as how Brod appears in his boat on the lake whenever anyone goes to his house in the night. Sim ' s a fool, but that story, somehow or other, worked. Say — p ' r ' aps ye ' d like to have me show ye his place. It ' s a queer old Thank you, we won ' t trouble j ' ou. I arn sure that we both spoke together. Well, ye can do jest ' s ye like, of course, replied our friend, going into an adjoining pantry. It ' s he! exclaimed Bob, his eyes glistening, — the man in the boat. I can 5ee him now, waving his arms Yes, I answered slowly, yes— it is he. Presently our breakfast came, but we didn ' t enjoy it. 125 An Upper Clansman ' s Recollection of Mis Freshman Dd.%$. o NCE upon a midnight dreary While I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious Problem of algebraic lore ; While I nodded, nearly napping. Suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone loudly rapping. Rapping at my study door, — Only this, and nothing more. Ah, distinctly I remember, It was in the bleak November, And each separate dying ember Wrought a ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I had wished the morrow ; Vainly I had sought to borrow Wings to take me from this sorrow Waiting me outside the door ; Only that, and nothing more. And a silken, sad, uncertain Rustling behind my window curtain Thrilled me, filled me with fantastic Terrors never felt before ; So that now, to still the beating Of my heart, I stood repeating, ' Tis but a visitor entreating Entrance at my study door. That it is, and nothing more. Presently the blows grew stronger ; Hesitating then no longer, Sir, said I, or Sirs, truly Your forgiveness I implore ; But the fact is I was napping. And so softly you came tapping That I scarcely heard you rapping. Here I opened wide the door, — The Owl Club entered with a roar, 126 Back into the chamber turning, All my soul within me burning, In there rushed that stately Owl Club, As it rushed in days of yore ; Not the least obeisance made they, Not a moment stopped nor stayed they. But picked me up and laid me Just outside my chamber door — Laid me there upon the floor. Wretches ! cried I, things of evil ! Wretches still if men or devils, Whether Tempter sent, or whether Tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, Will I return to this enchanted — To this room with horror haunted? Tell me truly, I implore. Quoth the Owl Club, Nevermore. Wretches, cried I, things of evil. Wretches still if men or devils. By that heaven that bends above us. By that God we both adore, Tell this soul, with sorrow laden, If again in the distant Aidenn I shall clasp a sainted maiden To this heart of mine so sore. Qyioth the Owl Club, Nevermore. Be that word our sign of parting. Men or fiends ! I shrieked, upstarting. Get thee back into the darkness, Where other fiends have gone before ! Then against the railing sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking What this ominous Club of yore Meant in croakinsr Nevermore. 127 And the Owl Club, then they stretched me On their shoulders, and they fetched me Out upon the College campus, Regardless that no clothes I wore. Not a sound could I utter, Not a word could I stutter. And I scarcely heard one mutter, Take him round to the farther shore. Qiioth the Owl Club, Deepest shore. Then those demons, then they swung me While they counted, and they flung me Far into the blackest waters. And the water covered me o ' er. Left me then M ' ithout a token, Not a single word was spoken. Left my loneliness unbroken, Lying there upon the shore — Humbled, yes, for evermore.

Minutes of last meeting (Sept. 35, 1897) x-ead and accepted. President Gile stated meeting vas called to •discuss the rope-pull matter, and asked for suggestions as to the best man- ner by which to induce the Class of Nineteen Hundred and One to accept our challenge. In order to promote the good feeling among the class members, a motion was made, seconded, and carried, to serve refreshments while the matter was being discussed. Committee appointed — Landers, •chairman — to procure a half bushel of grapes known to be in hiding in Freshman Cooke ' s room. Committee reported in five minutes with grapes. Discussion continued.

Professor H (emphatically): No, sir! Not by a — good deal. 133 1901 5a5 I ll Team. I 7 HEN, in the course of human events, a party, however great or small ' it maybe either in number or intellectual ability, overcomes utterly insurmountable obstacles which roughen the road to notoriety, and, with eyes fixed steadfastly upon the goal of its ambition, pursues steadily on- ward, regardless of the means which it may use, — when a party has thus proven its worth, we say that that party should receive public encourage- ment ; that that party should receive the hearty support of all mankind; that that party should receive what it wishes, — fame, notoriety. This we firmly believe, and believing, we act. Thus this : To our notice has come a case of just such a party still struggling over the ups and downs of life. On the page opposite we reproduce a wonder- ful likeness of it; the name by which it is known to the world we will re- frain from mentioning; the name by which it is known to itself is The Entire Nineteen Hundred and One Baseball Team. Born in a cellar, never fully organized, it has come upstairs into the world; it has risen from its lowly bii-thplace to the high pedestal upon which it now stands by much the same means as enables a balloon to ascend. However, we think we have noticed a leak, and unless immediate steps are taken to prevent the escape of gas we predict a total destruction. Its downfall is sure to follow, and happy be it if it fall into the cellar from whence it came, and not into that smaller cellar from which no man rises. Our mission here is to help struggling humanity to reach notoriety, — the goal of its ambition, — and to this party we will offer advice which ma} ' be of assistance in accomplishing its end : if fame is your ambition play football. Let baseball alone ; it has no use for you. You will remember that sweets are for the sweet ; so, too, the pigskin filled with wind is for you. Concentrate yourself into one man, be a good guard, and on the grridiron shine. 134 IN MEMORIAM. In AemofY of Tf)e Ovl Clab Aa33acl)ttsett3 Agricaltarat College, ' S, Deceased. Whereas, It has pleased the all-wise Faculty to remove from our midst the beloved and much cherished organization, The Owl Club ; and, Whereas, Recognizing its many virtues and manly qualities, and keenly feeling our mutual loss, and deeply sympathizing with its bereaved patronizers, the Sophomore Class, in their afflictions, and sincerely mourn- ing its early demise ; and. Whereas, We feel that the College has lost a most useless character- istic feature, and the Sophomore Class a degenerated offspring and an over-abused liberty ; therefore be it Resolved: That we, the active members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Two of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, whose privi- lege it has been never to have been initiated into its mysteries, do hereby extend to the bereaved patronizers our sincere and heartfelt sympathy, and congratulate them on their loss. And be it further Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions be published in the Nine- teen Hundred Index of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, and an- other be kept and filed with the records of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Two.

(Written for the J900 Index by J— L— .) A FTER considerable urging on the part of the editor for a contribution ' ■ to the literary columns of the Index, I have finally decided to contribute an account of a personal experience heretofore unknown to anyone but myself and my roommate. It was very reluctantly that I have made such a decision, and I have brought myself to do so for one reason only : in the largeness of my heart I wished that others might profit, as I have done, by the example set forth, and learn its lesson without the hard trial of passing through the terrible ordeal. It was about a year ago this time, perhaps a little earlier in the fall, but the evenings were quite cool. We were being pushed pretty hard in our studies, particularly in mathematics, and night after night I had labored on far toward midnight, only to be driven from my half-finished work by the increasing coldness. Peculiarly enough, the cold always affected my feet first, and my body would be perfectly warm long afte r they had become numb. This may have been due to the lack of blood in my lower extremi- ties during my great mental activity ; however, it caused me much annoy- ance, and for hours after retiring to my couch the pain would drive slumber far from my pillow. I could find no remedy, at least, not until this par- ticular night in mention, and then the remedy was not permanent by any means. I had closed my books and turned slowly toward my bed, tired and sleepy, but filled with fear. I longed for the bliss of perfect rest ; I longed for the warm foot-stone which my good mother used to place at my feet as she tucked the clothes about me and sang a lullaby ; I feared the hours of wakefulness and suffering ; I feai ' ed the morning, which would find me still tired and sleepy. I j-aised my hand to turn out the light, that the room might be as dark as my soul ; but as my fingers touched the globe the warmth inspired me. A happy thought ; there w as heat, there was comfort. Quickly I unrolled the long extension and placed the incandes- cent lamp against my feet, between the sheets. Oh, how that warmth cheered me ! The heat ascended to my body ; comfort, contentment, and happiness were mine, and I dropped into peaceful slumber. 140 Peaceful, did I say? Ay, peaceful and blessed. I will never forget the dreams I dreamed that night. My body seemed to rise, and I felt myself being carried away, whither I knew not nor cared, so great was my peace- fulness and trustfulness. I thought I was being carried away by the winds of might. I knew I was leaving this world, leaving Aggie, leaving study, leaving drill, and but one thought saddened me, — leaving her. I was approaching another world, and even at a distance I could see that it was beautiful. A delightful odor of flowers and perfumes reached my nostrils, and the sound of music, singing, and laughter came to my ears. Soon I could see the flowers and grass below, the waving trees and the little brook- lets winding in and out through the shady groves. Happy faces were all around, — the faces of men, women, and children playing, and laughing, and dancing together, and continually singing a song of praise and joy. Joy filled my breast ; I wished to dance and sing, but something held me back. No one appeared to notice me. I could not move; I seemed to be bound. My inability to move caused me some uneasiness and doubt ; was I to be permitted to watch this gay festival without taking any part myself? It seemed so, and I strained every muscle to escape from the clasp of my unseen fetters, but in vain ; the effort exhausted me, and made me uncom- fortable with heat. In fact, I had become quite heated ; I felt the warmth of the sun ; it was like a hot summer day, and we seemed to be approaching towai ' d it rapidly. It was so ; the grass and flowers were withering and drooping, the brooklets were becoming dry, a fine dust filled the air; I closed my eyes. As before, odors came to my nostrils, — not now of flowers and perfumes, but of smoke and fire ; sounds came to my ears, not of sing- ing and laughter, but of shrieks, and curses, and groans. I opened my eyes again. What a change ! — no grass, no water, no trees ! Where the grass and flowers had gi ' own was now a bed of hot and shifting sand ; where the streams had flowed was now but a pathway of stones ; where trees had stood now alone remained charred and blackened trunks, from which darted forth hundreds of tongues of fire. The sands were burning my feet ; a terrible fear had come over me, — my head was bursting with the mad thoughts rush- ing through my poor brain. I tried to cry out, but my throat was parched and choked; I could utter no sound. Again and again I struggled to free myself that I might fly from this horrible place, but it was of no avail. The effort exhausted me ; dizziness was overcoming me ; a terrible curse rent the air, and I fell. The fall awoke me. I was stretched on the floor, the room was filled with smoke, and it was not till I recognized the voice that I realized that it 141 was my roommate and not the Devil who was standing over me kicking and swearing, and that I was still an inhabitant of this world. Wake up ! he cried; your bed ' s on fire! It all flashed through me in an instant, — that light. It was but a little thing, but the lesson that I have learned will remain with me forever. I live through it all again each night as I lay me down to sleep ; it comes back to me with redoubled force as I sit upon the steep banks of the ravine, and thoughtfully watch the mass of mouldy, half-burned bedclothes below me. My dear friends, you who are green as I was green, take heed from iny experience and beware ; no matter what 3 ' ou may hear, remember that you cannot be too green to burn. There once came a man from Dover Who loved to roll in the clover. He was bashful, you bet, Till Miss M-y he met. And now his shyness is over. from JoI)n Ingram. Who fears to speak of Ninety-Eight ?

We take this occasion to do so. — Ed. F. H. T. It was purely an oversight that caused us to neglect to answer yours of October i6th. We will do what we can to atone for our carelessness, and will not print your name in the Index in connection with So. Hadley. Of course, we understand that the only reason you have for visiting Mt. Holyoke College so often is to see your sister ; we know you do not care to see any other young lady there, although we do not know how many sisters you have. Certainly, we agree that that rude story around college about you is untrue ; we know that you never could have said that you would become engaged to a young lady from over the mountain before the next military ball if it were necessary in order that the authorities would allow her to accompany you. We feel assured that you are utterly incapable of such a thing. H. W. D. You neglected to enclose postage-stamp for reply. We will forward imm.ediately upon receipt of two cents, or if you feel that you cannot bear the burden of the expense, send us a postal card and receive the information for half price. F. G. S. That ' s all right, old man ; we won ' t mention the girl you love. You might find consolation in singing that old refrain, When you know the girl you love loves you. G. C. H. We thought it unnecessary to reply to you before. We agree with you most assuredly in regard to the matter of Class-day exer- cises. We are happy to learn that your class intends to hold such exer- cises, and we hope your expectations will be realized, and that you will be elected Campus Orator. We recognize the right of the Campus Orator to roast those who have roasted him, and we will hear what you have to say with great fortitude and humility. We suggest that you copy the style of the last Campus Orator if you wish to obtain notoriety. 144 Bill H. On account of the shortness of funds we disliked to pav the necessary postage, and consequently we have not yet explained our reasons for refusing to publish your name in the Faculty list. We will take this occasion to do so. It was not through any feeling of jealousy, as you supposed, because a fellow-student ' s name would appear in a more prominent place than our own ; by no means, for we are perfectly satis- fied with our position. You may have made the College ; we have made the college annual. The reason was of an entirely different nature; it was purely the result of a compromise between two factions of the Board ; one wanting the entry to be made, Bill Henry Armstrong, Instructor of Industrial Art, and the other, Bill Henry Armstrong, Instructor of Me- chanical and Freehand Drawing. The first faction was very firm in its standing, and produced roll after roll of argument on its side. It claimed, and as you know claimed truthfull} ' , that your special request w as that the title, Instructor of Industrial Art be inserted. Another claim it pre- sented was that the title applies very closely to you, you being a perfect -sample of an industrial art. You know industrial means habitu- ally diligent, and an art is a device. The other faction, however, was equally firm, stating that in all things the first should be foremost, and therefore your first request should receive the foremost consideration, -and Instructor of Mechanical and Freehand Drawing should be your title. This title is also more explicit, and would give a better idea of your work to one unacquainted with the College. Of course we all under- stand that Professor is teaching Mechanical Drawing under your im- mediate direction. Thus you see how matters stood, half against half, and each half made up of that invincible material which characterizes the entire class. There was nothing to do but compromise, and compro- mise we did, with what results you already know. Many thanks for kind offer in regard to that other matter. Expe- rience is a grand thing, and if we decide to publish a supplement to our Index we will certainly consult you, and accept your offer to help. C . We are sorry to say that we have no exchange list. We appreciate your kindness, and realize the value of the publications that you -are editing: My Intellect, a leaflet, by Percival C. Brooks, and My Words, in ten volumes, by the same great man ; but the subject is too ■deep for our undeveloped mind to understand, therefore we must decline o exchange. 145 Tf)e a( aa5l)-Pie nan.

The squash-pie man, he is so good, He lets me search his van To find the dainties that I like. This sciuash-pie man. Sometimes I eat a pie or two, Or drink from out his can ; And then I think how good he is. This squash- pie man. One day when we were all alone, A story he began ; And this was what was told me by My squash-pie man : One time, so very long ago. Before my life began, A learned young professor was This squash- pie man. He knew so lots the people stared. As through the streets he ran. And wondered how he learned so much. The squash-pie man. He knew all writings that were writ By every kind of man ; And he himself coidd write a bit. This squash-pie man. He had a class so awful large, That when it first began He couldn ' t speak, he was afraid, This squash-pie man. One day he thought, and thought, and thought And then he had a plan : He ' d lear n a trade that he could use. This squash-pie man. 1 6 He ' cl learn a trade that he could use, And straightway bought a pan, And made a pie so nice and flat. This squash-pie man. At first it stuck onto the plate ' ; His troubles then began ; And then he didn ' t cook it through. This squash-pie man. But soon he found the proper way. Saw how the trouble ran ; And then he started once again, The squash-pie man. TN ow, soon a good pie he could cook,- Became a well-known man, — And people flocked about to see The squash-pie man. He cooked so well he lost his job ; He had too good a plan : The school could not support so great A squash-pie man. •So all at once he found his life In different channels ran ; A teacher once, but now he is A squash-pie man. So, little children, list to me : Whenever you do plan Your future life, take lesson by The squash-pie man. If dark theologies you ' d teach, Be certain, if 3 ' ou can.

Mr. President, O Most Honorable Judges : — The stupendenty of this most ignominious, insalubrious accusation is overwhehning to my personage.

But thei ' e is One supermundane who has maintained a surveillance over le beau moude and with his adjacent succor I will demonstrate my impeccability - Our correspondent was overcome by the heat of the argument, and the rest of this magnificent defense has been lost to the world. 151 152 nen Wt)om We Have et. HENRY H. GOODELL. This gentleman is boss of the ranch, and as snch he exerts a potent influence amongst the cattle gathered together under his charge. His time is much occupied by numerous duties, and to facili- tate the same, he is obliged to make use of two offices and numerous recitation rooms. He can be seen daily on the electric car that leaves Am- herst at 7.40 A. M., and all business with this important individual should be conducted on that trip, as the gentleman will have had his breakfast, and will, therefore, be in a happy state of mind. He is noted for his largeness of heart, ready sympathy, and broad generosity, but far above all this, for his capacity for turning off an enormous quantity of work. He is familiarly known as Prexy. CHARLES A. GOESSMAN. This gentleman is of German extraction. His fame abroad has been excelled by that which he has achieved while among us. His toying with various fertilizers has been of immense benefit to the farmer at large, as his deductions have always enabled the agriculturist to fight shy of fake corn raisers. He can be seen at the Experiment Station, surrounded by test tubes and assistants, while he enlarges upon some simply intricate formula for carbo- hydrates. His classes in the College are large and well patronized. Absences from his recitations never exceed five a day, and seldom equal that. He is a pleasant, jovial foreigner, with a charming home, where he dispenses his wide hospitality. This learned doctor is chiefly noted for having a son called Charlie. 15; SAMUEL T. MAYNARD. As a raiser of grafted trees and choice speci- mens of the grape fruits, this gentleman is a howl- ing success. His private orchard upon the hill is an object of envy throughout the State, and is well patronized by members of the College during sea- son. His private office, in the plant house, is ably run by an assistant, who endeavors to balance the two sides of his cash book whenever the necessity arises. Professor Maynard is an adept at building hothouses, and he endeavors to inculcate his principles wherever he finds fertile ground. His numerous trips about the country are well patronized by the Junior Class, and his lectures are listened to attentively by all who may have the good fortune to attend them. His rooms are situated upon the side of the hill, and are rather difficult to reach when the weather is inclement. CHARLES WELLINGTON. This gentleman is not a German by any means, although many people have been led to believe him such. He is, we believe, a purely born American citizen, with strong German tend- encies. Many years ago he had the misfortune to graduate from the University of Gottingen with a long degree, and since that day he has partly sev- ered himself from the traditions and customs of his native country. Dr. Wellington is noted chiefly as being the financial backer and general promoter of the K. K. K., an Assyrian letter fraternity, composed of members of his chemistry classes ; of the Kniepe, a praiseworthy effort to establish German sociality among us; and of the Commers, a delightful reunion of alumni, where sauerkraut and muffins may be had with a speech and a cigar. Altogether the Doctor is a hard w orker. I. ' 4 CHARLES H. FERNALD. This is another member of our Faculty who delights in the name of Charles. He is a dealer in bugs, wholesale and retail. His store is well stocked, and it is no trouble to show goods. There is little loss in the busi- ness, as many of the bugs a re raised on the premises. His time is spent chiefly between his home and jMalden, where he goes frequently to meet some new Gypsy moth who does not happen to have the pleasure of his acquaintance. The doctor ' s circle of friends is very large, and he can generally recall a face once seen, whether it be within the bark of some spreading elm, or upon the uneven surface of our campus. This gentleman has a very pleasing smile and cordial handshake, but his dislike to all athletic games mars an otherwise perfect character. REV. CHARLES S. WALKER. This gentleman is a Ph.D. ; he got it from Yale in 1S70. Since then he has traveled much, his last journey being from his home beside the sumptuous Hash House down to East Street. As yet he has not returned. The doctor is an enthusi- astic bicycler, taking his daily exercise between the hours of seven thirty and ten in the morning, and whenever he finds companions he invariably sets the pace. He is noted for his numerous writings upon the money question and for his thoroughness as a teacher of political economy, domestic economy, and college economv. He is a pleasant man to meet, and a charming conversationalist. We are not in a position to truthfully assert that the doctor can tell a good story wdien cornered, but judging from others of his cloth it would be safe to wager that he can. Anyway, he is a good listener. 155 WILLIAM P. BROOKS. Tins member of the Facult} ' is a Japa- nese, although to see him in the recitation room, one could hardly believe it. He sports a decoration given him by the Emperor of Japan, and as there are but two others in the country, he has not p awned his yet. His knowledge of drainage is thorough and com- plete, and he is a successful raiser of strawberries in his back yard. As a man, he is a royal good fellow and a patriotic alumnus. His gift for ora- tory is good, but his ability to tell a good story is better. He can talk Jap- anese, for we have heard him, and his command of English is superb. His ideas relative to gentlemanly conduct at athletic games commend themselves to all sportsmen. His only curse is that he is the uncle of an irrepressible nephew who has not, as yet, reached the end of his rope. GEORGE F. MILLS. This gentleman is the most popular man in College on Wednesdays and Saturdays. His duties are varied. He is an expert math- ematician and an accomplished linguist. His command of English in the classroom is something marvelous, and his acquaintance with the authors unlimited. His name at the bottom of a slip of paper has been known to bring tears of gratitude to the eyes of the laborer, and to make the delinquent weep with anguish. The prof, has many familiar names, which we will not give for obvious reasons ; suffice it to say that he is one of the whitest men on the Facult}-, and that is saying much. 156 JAMES B. PAIGE. Another German of American extrac- tion. The doctor ' s greatest delight is to cut up a horse in his little seven by nine laboratory. But this is a thing of the past, and we should not mention it. As a lobbyist the doctor is eminently successful, as the new Veterinary building testifies, and his field of work will be greatly extended. We have been told that the doctor crossed the ocean once to get a glass of German beer ; but as we did not obtain this statement from him personally it is not offered as authority. It is true, however, that the doctor ruined several gross of photographic films while on the other side of the pond, as can be proven from the pictures he brought back. The doctor ' s chief hobbies are market gardening and the raising of choice fowls ; his inseparable companions, in rain or shine, are his wheel, weighing ninety-six and geared up to twenty- one, and a small, lively, insignificant black dog. JOHN E. OSTRANDER. The newest one of all. This gentleman came to us from the wild and wooly West, yhere the inhabitants gamble on the weather and dodge cyclones. The professor is an adept at Trigonom- etry and Surveying. He can calculate the path of a planet, or tell the dimensions of a parabola, with lightning-like rapidity, but his greatest suc- cess is as a weather wizard. He can give the greatest varieties of climatic changes in the shortest possible time on record, and he is infallible in prognosticating temperatures for the past month. The professor is blessed with forty-two titles given by various colleges, and two children. He is short, — physically, we mean, — with snapping black eyes, and his favorite diversion is to smoke in the weather room, with his feet upon the table. In this way he keeps tab on the storms, and records the times that the weather does not coincide with his predictions. For this latter work the College supplies him with ten tons of paper per month. 157 GEORGE E. STONE. This gentleman dabbles in photography and the raising of tomato plants. He has a special hobby of going to Springfield, but it is perfectly harmless. Once upon a time he went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; but they got tired of him, and fired him out along with his diploma. He then went to Germany, but little is known of his work there except that he did not do very well, and came back to us with only a Ph.D. The doctor is, however, a fine fellow and a thor- ough connoisseur of beauty. His laborator} ' - is a model for working pur- poses, and it has become the pride of his heart. Whenever extended botany trips are made the doctor is sure to be one of the party, and his lively disposition always enhances the fun. He rides a machine of the model of 1S73, and it is painted yellow. This is to warn people of his presence when the night is dark. WILLIAM M. WRIGHT. This is the toughest man on the Faculty. He got it from the alkali plains out West, where he used to shoot Indians as one would kill partridges. He is an enthusiastic golf player and general athletic man. He used to have an interesting walk,, but of late that has disappeared. He had the honor of accompanying the LTnited States army into Cuba, where he got sick. This was not all that he got; he also got a furlough. His army adventures while in that tropical island were numerous and varied, but each and every episode redounded to his valor and patriotism. He has, unwittingly, become the idol of the boys, and whatever he says goes. His running mate used to be Elsie, but of late they have parted company,, and the captain is going it alone; much to the disgust of Elsie. 158 HERMAN BABSON. For the benefit of our man}- readers we would announce that this gentleman teaches English. He also writes English occasionally ; and it is published semi-occasionally. How- ever, the gentleman cannot claim as many rejection cards as we can, and we have often had the pleasure of reading doubtful sonnets and misty detective stories from his pen which gave him a large royalty. This gentleman ' s greatest characteristic is his versatility. He has been known to play divinely upon the accordion, to compose various dainties for the ear as well as for the palate, to cater to the eyes, and to officiate as bogus timekeeper in football fights. His favorite expression is, Gentle- men, gentlemen ! which is but natural, as he is a perfect specimen him- ■ ■elf. The only drawback to the character of this gentleman is that he will snap his camera and inflict his friends with pictures he does not want, and for which thev have no use. EDWARD R. FLINT. This gentleman is a Chinaman. He can read his own laundry bill as readily as we can read Ixdex manuscript. He can also talk Chinese ; at least we have been told so. We once heard him fighting with his laundryman, and the Chinaman appeared to understand what was going on. When this gentleman is not thinking in Chinese he teaches Chemistr} to a select few at college. His experiments in the classroom are noted for their in- complete results and their frequent explosions. He can get a student up to recite fewer times during a term than any other professor. When at home his time is spent mostly in smoking long-stemmed, small-bowled pipes, in which he places a pinch of brown sawdust and ravelings, which he calls tobacco. When abroad, he spends his time in a Chinese restaurant on Harrison Avenue, Boston, Mass., U. S. A. 159 FRED. S. COOLEY. This gentleman keeps cows and corn. For a time he keeps them simultaneously, but, later, the cows absorb the corn. He is an expert farmer, and can tell a Southdown Tamworth from a Jersey bull. His knowl- edge of the care of Texas thoroughbreds and of Guernsey swine is only equaled by his erudite familiarity with the Devon Highland breed of race horses. He is a constant attendant at the county fairs, and generally he is surrounded by an attentive crowd of students, who hang breathlessly on his every word. His lectures are well patronized, and his recitations cut. As a man he is all that could be desired, and his ready smile is always an omen of good cheer; as a friend he is a great success, and as a citizen of Amherst he is very prominent. RICHARD S. LULL. This gentleman comes from good old naval stock. He can trace back his lineage to old Jose- phus G. Lull, who was navigating officer upon the revenue cutter Ark. At the present time the professor can point with pride to Santiago, Tampa, Montauk, and other noted places where his ances- tors established history. This gentleman can name every bone in the human skull without making a mistake, and can, if given sufficient time, say the list backwards. His chum is called Maude (with the final e), and he is very sensitive if this boon comradeship is made light of. The professor is an athletic man of the deepest dye, and has been known to enter the foot- ball field at this late day. He is a scorcher, and has ridden to Hamp. in- side of thirty minutes. Long runs are his specialty ; but when taking one he always carries an extra crank shaft, as he has never yet ridden tw enty miles without breaking one. 1 60 RALPH E. SMITH. This gentleman runs the football team. That ' s all he ever does. He collects all football subscrip- tions when he can, and pays all bills whether he can or not. For a side issue he teaches botany and writes treatises on Nematodes, which give him a narrow local reputation. He visited Germany last year, but returned soon, as the German waters did not agree with him. As a fellow he is one of the boys ; as a teacher he is popular. His abilitv to draw a fairly good diagram has been highly spoken of, and his micro- scopic work is ever in demand. He can run over more botany collections in a short time than any other man. Altogether, he is a pleasant fellow to meet, a good friend to have, and a pleasing lecturer. PHILIP B. HASBROUCK. We hardl} know what to say of this gentle- man. The ground has been pretty well covered already. His strongest point is his youthful face ; his age is doubtful ; but we feel safe in saying, in spite of the figure given as the date of his birth in the dedication of this book, that he is over seven and under forty-five. His forte in teaching is his earnest manner and impressive gestures. He is generally sprung on the Freshman Class with great success, and then given a rest for a year. His duties embrace the teaching of such subjects as naturally come under the head of mathematics, and many others that come under that head unnaturally. As a man and friend he is valuable, being generous, sympathetic, and kindly, and he always keeps open house for his students. His reputation as a mathematician is •only excelled by that of his late master, the eminent Mr. Bowser. , H i6i NEWTON WALLACE. , This gentleman, although not directly connected with the Faculty, is, however, a very important individual. He can be seen at any hour of the day or night retailing his adventures during the Civil War. It was a misfortune that the gentleman was not drafted in the late Yanko-Spanko difficulty,, as his stock of army reminiscences would have been materially improved, and a new and more recent gusto added to his manner of delivery. Besides his interesting lectures on civil history, Mr. Wallace is an adept at trick bicycle riding, and it is said that he has accepted the United States agency for a make of wheel that is wholly vmique. This gentleman ' s performances- upon his wheel have been known to make the judicious weep. A lucrative engagement with a traveling variety show has been offered him, but he has inconsiderately refused it, so that he might remain here wnth his assistant professor of electricity. PROF. THOMAS CANAVAN. This is the most popular man on the- beach. He is, indeed, the only pebble on the campus. He is small, very small ; slightly nervous, and exceedingly enthusiastic. His presence at a football game has been known to please the visiting team. His voice is loud and pleasant while giving the Old Aggie yell, and his gesticulations are a study for any one intent upon entering the dramatic profession. His frequent altercations with the referee give a spice to an otherwise tame and uninteresting exhibition. This gentleman has a den under the old chemical laboratory, and when he is not walking on the tar walks he can most surely be found there. His principal occupation is the painting out of numbers that may happen to be placed upon the walk s and buildings by members of the various classes Altogether, this gentleman is a success from every standpoint. 162 editorial PLEDGE, , ■ i i -i ' V iGiifl ad ain a d ' uiacai m the rJi ' laAiactiudc ' tti (jla icultu ' i.al! ©olfeap, f ' tiuU ciuitcuR l ' io))i (oiii oiia alt tictd ttiat iRtti| mttUe ' ie wrtli tae jxcliioual UaMii ' (, jilaiilencA o| ami i€Uoiii=dtuaf ' ixt aiicl wliicli aU coiniiimUij clialactcUsed ai liosinq ; {xm .

Sujned, Qirit ' f 3. @ooc(. Such is the pledge that all students entering x ' Yggie are required to sign. Two classes have already done so, — that bad, bold Class of Nineteen Hun- dred and One and their immediate charge, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Two. Some objection was raised, it is true, before the deeds were -signed, for we know that all men hate to sign a pledge, no matter what may be its nature. Not that they are so highly in favor of doing the deeds which they thus sign away their ' ' privilege ' ' of doing, — not at all ; they fully realize Ihat such things would be far better left undone ; but the very thought of having to give a written promise to be good, appears to them as an insult or a disgrace to their manhood. And it is a disgrace to their manhood that rsuch a thing is necessary ; a real disgi ' ace when we pause to consider that in this most civilized country on the face of the globe, and in the most civilized institutions in this country, there still exists a tendency on the part of the students to destroy property and to interfere with the personal rights of their fellow-students. It is an absurd thing to destroy property anywhere, a per- fect waste ; it is a loss to the owner, and no gain to the destroyer. But how- ever absurd it may be in other colleges, it is far more so in this institution that our State has established and maintains for us, and where she furnishes for us a free education and a fund on which we can live. All we have comes from her, and still we bite the hand that feeds us ; and then we feel as if our 163 manhood is insulted when we are made to sign a pledge to refrain from a willful waste of State property. We are being treated like children, we- cry. We have acted like children. Hazing, however, is a different thing. While it does not directlv destroy property, it does very often indirectly. What a crowd of boys will do when on a hazing expedition is hard to tell, but its chief objection lies in another direction. Hazing is the remains of an old barbaric custom of initiation, handed down to us, not by such means as we would be naturally led to believe any obnoxious custom to come, but through our institutions of learning, — a source whence should come nothing but the best and the purest that the days gone by can give. It is with pleasure, however, that we mark the rapid disappearing of the custom, which was so universally prevalent a few years ago, and it is of interest to investigate the cause of its disappearance, and to find the true reason why it is being done away with. It may be that people are beginning to realize the evil resulting from the system, and, in consequence, it is dying a natural death. It may seem so on the surface ; it should be so ; but those who have probed deeper and gotten at the truth know that, although the death might be natural in time, where it has died it has in nearly every case been hastened or brought about abruptly by some serious accident. Somewhere they will find a rnan crippled by a. bullet from a fellow- student whom he attempted to haze, or one crazed from the effects of cold water pumped upon a heated head by a reckless hazing party. This is the history of its death in many a college, and we should consider it a blessing if we covdd be rid of the nuisance by means of a simple pledge, and not wait for the climax to be capped by such means as it has- elsewhere. We have had enough; it is time to call a halt in that direction. Aggie must not be too slow in joining the procession, and, while they lead in the right direction, following in the footsteps of other institutions of higher learning that are further advanced than we. FRATERNITY It is with a feeling of encouragement that we notice- LuDOrtb. yQ growing desire on the part of the different fraterni- ties to possess fraternity lodges. We believe this is good ; they draw the members together into a closer union and a deeper brotherly interest. They would remedy a long-felt want at Aggie — the lack of social life. A man ' s social training is as necessary to him as his manual or mental train- ing. He must receive it sooner or later if he wishes to make a success of life ; and is there any better time than while in college, or a better place- 164 than at college? However, at Aggie it is very much wanting. There are but few social events during the year, — a hop or two, a few receptions, and the Militarv Ball. We are doing all we can with our limited means, but much is not possible. This is where the lodge houses will be of so much use. Look at any college where they do exist, — at our sister college to the south, for instance ; we read of a musical in such and such a house last evening, or of a reception in such a house. Think of the advantages these men enjoy ; the little wholesome pleasure is thrown in, and gives them vigor for their work and studies. When we enjoy such advantages, we will leave our Alma Mater and go into the social world and take our place side bv side with the graduate of any college. MILITARY The Military Ball is the greatest and the best thing BALL. (-|-j {- y Q have in this line. That the student body did not realize the importance of this, and were so lax as to let one year slip by without the ball being held, is one of those queer, inexplicable things that are always happening everywhere. However, the result of the last dance can leave no doubt as to its practicability and usefulness. Great credit is due to the committee in charge, who pushed the affair through so triumphantly against the fearful odds of the misgiving of their own hearts and the doubts of the entire College. Now, this coming winter there can be no doubts, no misgivings ; we can all go into it heart and soul, and xq will have a social event such as Aggie never heard of before. DISINTERESTED We have said that we are doing all that we can with STUDENTS. Qm- limited means ; in one sense this is so, and in an- other it is not. Many of us. Faculty and students, are working hard to bring about a more social life ; but in addition to the disadvantage of lim- ited means, we are obliged to work against a far more serious trouble, — we encounter a lack of interest among a portion of the students themselves ; the smaller portion, happily, but still a large enough portion to produce a feeling of discouragement in those who are endeavoring to do what they can to raise the standard of the College socially. It may seem sti ' ange that such a state should exist; it may be natural, for man is often blind to his best intei-est. We suppose that it exists to a certain extent in every college; but in a college where there is a large number 165 of students it is not apparent, foi among the many it is easy to find plenty who are interested in such affairs. They do not miss the other element, — it is too unimportant ; would that we found it so. Being a smaller college we do miss the support of this other element. To make an affair a success, we must have the hearty co-operation of every man. When have a lecture, every man must be there ; when we have a ball, ever} ' man must be present with his lady ; when we give a reception to the trustees, or to any one else, every man should feel himself to be the host, and should feel that the entire responsibility of entertaining the guest s rests upon himself personally. MORE We do not purpose to enter into a long discussion on MhN. j-j-ig question of why we do not have more men in college. It has been well talked over, and plan after plan suggested, and many, to a certain degree, have been carried out ; still, the size of the entering classes do not give us much encouragement and hope for the immediate increasement in the number of students. We are very sure our alumni are all good and loyal sons of their Alma Mater; they respond readily to many of our calls for help, and they seem to have the welfare of the College very close to their hearts. But there is one call to which they do not respond, and seem to make no effort to do so ; it is our call for more men. It is on her alumni that every college depends for her new men, and it is on ours that we must depend for ours. It is true that our graduates are not holding the positions, and are not engaged in the occupations, which would bring them most directly into contact with young fellows who are looking for a college suitable for their wants. We have few men who are teaching school when we compare our number with the number of teachers from other colleges. Nevertheless, although thus handicapped, a little exertion would bring remarkable return. For example, look at the work of Fred A. Smith, of the Class of Ninety-Three. He is engaged in market garden- ing in Lynn, Mass., and from his town he has sent us this present year four good men. That is what a little exertion will do. If some of our other alumni would only exert themselves a little. We do not ask every alumnus to send us four men every year, but we would like one man every four years. 166 HONOR A mutual agreement has been arranged between one SYSTEM. Qf Qy y classes and its instructors. It is an agreement on the part of each to be, in all dealings of whatever nature with the other, square, upright, and honest. This system of placing full trust in each other ' s honor, is known as the Honor System, and is to be used in all college exercises in which the parties entering into the agreement are con- cerned. Although the system has been in use for several months now, we must still call it an experiment, for its application has been limited to a iew, and those few make up the highest and most advanced class in the institution, — a class whose standing should, and probably does, place them above the need of any such arrangement. This affair corresponds exac tly with that other affair, the matter of signing a pledge ; in one case it is a matter of signing a pledge to be good, and in the other of signing a pledge to be honest. It is a primary school method, where the solemnity of affix- ing his name to a document, impresses the youngster with such awe that he dares not break his promise. In a man such means should be unneces- sary ; his manhood and honor should tell him the right from the wrong, and knowing the right should withhold him from doing the wrong. How- ever, it does not always; men often act like children, and then they must be treated as children. As we have said, the Honor System is but an experiment yet, and requires more testing before it can safely be called a success. One of our Expei ' iment Station officials has said, I am never satisfied with an experiment until I can obtain the same results at least four times. Accordingly, if he wishes to determine the generating power of certain seeds under certain conditions, he divides his whole lot into four portions and treats each portion in precisely the same manner, and draws his conclusions from the four results. Our College is already divided into four portions; we wonder will the experiment ever be tried upon each portion, and if so how would the results compare? ATHLETIC In the southern part of the town we have a sister UNION. college ; not vei-y loving sisters have we been, to be sure, l)ut with a little effort on both sides all difficulties might be smoothed over, and we could become quite friendly. This effort should be made, especially when the doing so might prove so advantageous to us both. It is said that two colleges cannot exist in the same town and both prosper in athletics. This may be true and it may not ; we think it is not if affairs are managed 167 properly. If the two set up for rivals, and are evenly enough matched to be formidable rivals, a great deal of unpleasantness v ill undoubtedly arise ; if, however, they put all rivalry to one side, and use each other to develop themselves, the result would be good feelings toward each other, and a strong team to represent each, and, as a natural consequence, victories over all outsiders. The situation in Amherst in regard to these things might be improved. We have shown that we can be quite a formidable rival to Amherst College, — quite enough so as to cause her best men to work their hardest when we meet, — but we all know the feelings that result from such meetings ; to say the least they are not very sisterly, or brotherly either. However, if, instead of doing as we do, we should use each other for a practice team, and practice together during the entire football and baseball seasons once a week, twice -a week, or even every day when not engaged in a regular game, both teams would become used to some little opposition, and would go out and meet their opponents, not like green recruits, but like old war veterans. Why, with such a combination this old town of Amherst would ring with victories such as she has never seen before, even in her would fantastical dreams. i6S R emini cence .

If you have found your name in a prominent place, take the situation cheer- fullv : remember no malice goes with it ; forgive us, pass it over, and laugh at your neighbor whose name is in a more prominent place than your own. We wish to thank those who have helped us in our work in any way : those who have given us kind advice or contributed to our literary columns. We thank our advertisers, without whose aid it would be impossible to publish our work ; and we trust that they will receive the entire patronage of the students and the friends of the College. We thank the Boards of the Classes of Ninety-Eight and Ninety-Nine for what assistance they have rendered us ; and while we extend our heartfelt sympathy to editors of the next Index, we will be happy to aid them in their great undertaking in any way that we may be able. With malice toward none, and good will toward all, we will make our bow and say, Adieu. Advertisements. Index to Advertisers. Adams, Henry, Amherst ....

Dress Suits to Rent. Amherst, Mass. INDEX. 21 The Retail Tailor HAS BEEN BADLY BEATEN in recent years by the prog- ress made in scientific wholesale tailoring. The make- to-measure man is at a disadvantage from the start. He has to pay about tlfty per cent more for his cloth, linings and trimmings, and nearly one hundred per cent more for his tailoring than the wholesale tailors. This is because where he buys one piece of goods the whole- sale tailors buy five hundred pieces ; where he employs one tailor who labors in the old-fashioned manner, the wholesale tailors employ thousands of skillful tailors, who have every mechanical aid, and work in scientifi- cally ventilated tailor shops, producing the highest ex- amples of fine tailoring at the minimum of cost. These are some of the reasons why it is possible for us to sell clothes bearing this label, is¥ which are made from thoroughly dependable fabrics, elegantly trimmed and perfectly tailored, and are sure to fit the minute you want them at half make-to-measure tailors ' prices. e ft c c M.
